Making childhood magical, our new weekly episodes & should you kiss on the first date?

30:34Oklahoma City got to be there an hour beforehand but most airports are 45 minutes. Yeah. So that time limit before the flight can be a real pain as we just experienced. the second one is when you're going on longer haul flights and especially like if you're going to europe and connecting the amount they lose your bag is way too uh is way too to way more often than one would like and then you just like never get it back for the trip right so you're stuck without the things you want and then three and i think the least important is just on the back end waiting for the bag like a little annoying you just kind of want to land and and get in the car and get in the uber so like i and like i just don't think you need that much clothes so and on a winter vacation i guess you can like probably make um cowboy boots like that things start taking up like my toiletries alone like for me i would love to be able to pack in a carry-on but for me to be like that that needs to be a two-day trip i gotta wear my tennis shoes on the plane which is fine because i'm doing that anyways it doesn't allow for a second pair of tennis shoes to go and I need to pretty much take one pair of shoes.

31:40I could take two pair of shoes. If the trip is under five days. With Bubba, it's not happening. If the trip is under five days, I'm team do not check a bag. If the trip is over five days, I'm team check bag. If there's more than two nights, I need to check a bag. That's how I do it in my head. I don't check a bag. Yesterday checking those bags, it threw up my whole den because I didn't know how soon to get to the airport it's a disaster like it just my whole mojo was off because i had a check bag totally agree jules's mojo really got thrown i have a question though um once you have to buy a seat for tate is that a year or two years or whatever two years does she get a checked bag or sorry uh a carry-on bag yes so then you could probably not have to check bags anymore wow we really couldn't because right now bubber you know shares well on the way to a destination bubber takes up a fourth of the suitcase of diapers when we're leaving all the diapers are gone and so that's why it's really nice i have a lot more space because we travel with like seriously like packages of dipes so it's allowing more um what did i forget this time when i said oh i can't leave i forgot that oh the the blackout thing for the crib yes the thing that goes over the crib the slumber pod we forgot the slumber pod just as we were so proud that we had ordered it luckily the, the, um, she has her own area in this one.

Limited time only. Exclusions apply. Second bigger of the week is that Harrison thinks food tastes better off of somebody else's plate as opposed to his own.

34:25So He always reaches over to mine and eats my food. That's very misleading. That is very, very misleading. No, that was pretty accurately leading. That's very misleading. Correct it. I don't, I think I rarely, rarely eat off your plate. Rarely. I just did it right there. If, I can't believe you like Jules having a mic because you can just help me explain. If I have food, he's eating it. if I have food if I've made anything I'll watch you Harrison will be upstairs and he'll start to smell it and he comes and he lingers and he just starts circling my plate and then he just eats off of my plate and I'm like I made this for me this is mine but most recently you started making him his own plate I've noticed yes I now make two plates because I know he'll tell me he's not hungry he'll tell me that doesn't sound good it doesn't matter he's coming and he's eating off of it so now I just make two double the eggs I make two turkey bowls like if a brand is going to send me food I'm like please send me double because yeah fuck I think you're right you start circling around the kitchen and you're just like taking little bites of it like this oh I think you're right yeah 100 % I didn't realize it I didn't realize it but upon I thought what I was doing today was an anomaly no you do it all the time It tastes better off your plate.

35:51I get to see the pieces and go get the good ones. It's terrible. It is rude. It isn't good. It isn't a good thing. But let me at least give me this, okay? Okay, maybe. I'll never eat off anyone else's plate, just yours. It's fine. Harrison, if you ate off on somebody else's plate, I would be mortified. Mortified. I have a family member, not in my immediate family, okay? So not my mom, dad, sister, brother-in-law. Okay. But in that next layer of extension, who will eat off everyone at the table's plate? Okay. Wait for the details. Your Aunt Louise listens. So does she get to know who it is? It is not Aunt Louise.

36:26But does she know? I'm not going to give out any more details. Okay. But because then you're just kind of going to zero it in. It could even be a layer further out than her. But yes, there is a family member. If there's eight of us over, she will - They. Could be a he. Could be a he. Could be a he. we'll eat off six of the eight people's plate, seven of the eight people's plate. Is that where you got it? No, that's where I learned how that's not something you're supposed to do. Okay, but yeah, okay. But like, oh, unique situation that presented to me at the bar last night. So we get in late, you go to bed, take us to bed, and I shovel down to the bar at like 945 to deal with some work emails and just like grab a bite and have a beer.

37:12A non-alc beer. well you gotta let me go so i get there i'm like hey and my whole goal was get there before 10 because like i assume the kitchen closes at 10 i was like no sorry kitchen closes at 9 30 brutal guy beside me very nice looking guy like really looks like a bunch of people that you know really just like run-of-the-mill guy a couple minutes goes by i order a non-alcoholic beer i'm Like, I'm just going to sit here and crank out some emails. He's like, hey, man, I'm not eating half this burger. He's like, I know it's a weird offer, but you can see it's untouched. Burger looks phenomenal.

37:55Half of his fries are there. He's dressed very nicely. He's got a good energy to him. He's drinking a water. So he's not drunk. do you think i ate the half burger no oh i think he did priscilla's saying yes i don't think you did i did not eat the burger what did you say

38:26so did you want to i said as tempting as this is and think it's kind of an offer as it is i am gonna have to say no but thank you so much my take on it was one I wanted to put it on Instagram and like hear what the internet had to say debate wise debate wise I wanted to tell him what happened if I'd sat down and like he'd offered it right away I may have done it but it felt like there was like a like i looked at the burger and it just looked like it had been sitting out like five minutes too long that was the problem that had been sitting out too long well i was and i was like i gotta i'm an open guy i gotta be able like this is me this is the type of situation like i i would love in theory to be open to but i said no i'm saying i said no because the burger didn't look clean and crisp enough maybe if it just come out hot it could have been a different story but I wanted to, let me, let me rephrase it all.

39:32I wanted to do it in theory. I loved it. I love the idea of it. I love that he was kind and nice, but the reality is I couldn't do it. Just didn't look good enough. So, so the reason I would say no is one germs, even though. Not a germ guy. I know, but I'm just saying for me. And then two, I would just explore the idea of what if he was sick and then i was gonna get that sickness like what is germs yeah same sorry same thing also but what i was gonna say was not no one's roofing a burger and i know that i know that i just yeah i'm just like what if so i didn't go to roofie it's actually uh but where i went was like do i think he fucked with the burger like no i don't but my my my mindset was like no and i Obviously, it's a very different situation being a guy versus a girl in that setting.

40:27And that is not lost on me. But I also thought if he did fuck with it, I would just make record that I ate a burger from a random guy. So we would know where it came from. A traceable offense. Yeah. There's been a couple times, though, where I've shown up to places and the kitchen has been closed. And I've just thought, I'm so hungry. If I could just eat that right there. But I just can't do it. Just can't take other people's food. I don't know. Something about it. There was a time though that I was at the airport not long ago. Remember? I was sitting there eating those fish tacos. I don't know what airport I was at.

41:05And in Texas, we were in Dallas. And in Texas, you can't order a beer without food on Sunday before noon. And that guy came up and he was like, can I get a blue moon? And the girl was like, no, not without food. And he was like, but my flight takes off in a second. And I was like, can I get a blue moon? And she was like, you can because you have fish tacos. So now I got the blue moon and I just slid it right on over to him. And that was something that – Now, what do you think happened tab-wise in that story? Knowing you, I assume you covered it because – But what do you think he did? I would have assumed you would have kind of been like, hey, let me get you for this.

41:45And you would have just been like, no, it's my treat. Happy to make you do something kind. so I was absolutely I was gonna even get him another blue moon if we had time and then I looked open over and he was gone during the blue moon and left never didn't hear a word from him didn't he said thank you when I gave him the beer like he was like thank you like that was cool like we kind of like a nod and I was like I don't really care like though I wasn't worried about the tab in the least but the way that's absurd is an airport beer isn't a cheap beer like that's happening at a dive bar and it's like a two three dollar beer like you know feel like that that beers being handed out like that is is a pretty common occurrence airport beers are not cheap like airport beers are they're annoyingly expensive yeah i just assumed he really had to go i could not believe it though i was like doing something on my phone and i looked up because i was like maybe we've got time to get him one more like i was really passing on the kindness and then i was like he's gone gone the way airports have normalized drinking a beer beer at 6 30 in the morning.

42:48Who? Have you not noticed this in an airport? I've seen airport beers. Totally, totally, totally. Yeah. No, but like these airport beers start at 6 37 in the morning, like on my early flights, every time I'm on an early flight, I will look at the bar and see is the bar full and are people drinking beers? And the answer is consistently yes. But it's, it's also mimosas because I think it, I think, well, one flight anxiety. So I think people do that but number two a lot of times people are flying to go somewhere fun they're going on a bachelor bachelorette party they're going on a trip and like they're okay wait wait wait i think i think it varies by day i do not i think it varies by day i think on a monday morning it's very different than a thursday friday or saturday morning flying but that's that's what like the that's what you would think what the obvious person would that's what the obvious answer would be because people inherently drink more on weekends than they do weekdays.

43:45But you're not traveling. You're going to work on Monday. Okay. Is like when you are at an airport on a Wednesday in the morning and you look at the bar, I'm consistently surprised at how many people are drinking. That's my – and how it's just been so normalized to drink when you travel. I think a lot of people traveling for work on a Wednesday having a beer beforehand. Well, that's, but that's also fun for them too. I think like you're away from home, you're off your routine. So you're more likely to drink. Let's talk about your favorite travel day. But what I was going to say before we do that could transition was that is a big change pre kid versus post kid.

44:27When we would travel without a kid, we would light up the bar. You and I. Yeah. We would love, we would go. From the moment we got to the airport to on the plane to maybe even an airport beer when we landed vacation mode with tate i don't know the last time we have drank throughout the travel process drinking in general has been cut by 90 because like yeah you just you need to be on like you need to be it's just it's a full time i just i do want to say i think i nailed my travel on the way here with her. Can I please just give my new my updated travel tips? You did great. If Jules gives permission.

45:10You have permission, but you guys were getting to the airport early enough to have a couple beers? Jules is calling us. Well, here's... Yes, and here's why. Because it's a great... I'm listening. I'm re-upping our parking. No, no, no. It's a very good question because Alex, even without a kid, wanted to check a bag. He would always check a bag. And so we were there early enough to check the bag and that's enough time for a couple of drinks. With summer in full swing, we all feel that familiar urge to refresh your closet, but I'm trying not to waste money on jeans and pieces that I'll only wear once for just this season.

45:48And I know we all know that feeling. You're like, I want a closet refresh. I do not want to break the bank, but I want quality pieces. And that's where Quince comes in, you guys, because their clothes are timeless. They feel luxurious. They look elevated and the quality is way beyond what you'd expect for the price because they partner quince partners directly with factories so they cut out the middleman which is how they're able to pass on the savings to consumers like you and i so think about this 100 european linen top starting at just 30 washable silk dresses and skirts you guys i have the cutest gingham skirt and this like strapless linen top from them it's washable.

46:26It's amazing. It is so cute. And I tell you what, the price is so incredible and it looks just like all the other expensive stuff on the market. So give your summer closet an upgrade with Quince. Go to quince.com slash Alex for free shipping on your order and 365 day returns. That's quince.com slash Alex for free shipping and 365 day returns. Quince.com slash Alex. Okay, so I want to talk about my travel things that I did on the way here because we haven't traveled with Tate yet while she can crawl and she's mobile. So I was very nervous. I loved all the pre-prep you did. Yeah, I love all the pre-prep you did.

47:07I love the initiative that you took. A lot of the times I feel like as parents, it's really easy to go out there and say, let's do this or let's do that. But I love how you just went out. You said you wanted to do something. You ordered it. You prepped it all. And you were locked in on the plane. I made a plan and I followed it completely. And what it was going to be was I had a box of new toys that she had never seen before. And then I had fun food. So I had cheese cubes that I sliced and the grilled chicken strips that I made. Because her armies can pick them up and eat them. And then I had little packaged like strawberries, peaches, and one other thing.

47:42And so what we did was we had toy time. Then we switched back and we had snack time. Then we had toy time. Then we had snack time. And we bounced back and forth for the flight. and it kept her occupied the entire time and it was awesome. Yeah, it was great planning by you and I'm like – And then packets of formula. You've got to have the packets – the By Heart packets of formula are amazing. Only problem was I didn't have mine and that sucked but I did pack bottles of formula like ahead of time so it was fine. You were dialed in. And then, yeah, the other thing, have diapers with you. I think that's all for the travel.

48:19I've done so many travel things. And this parlays into my new hot take on travel. Which it is. The best day of the week to travel. Do you want to tee it up? Is? Saturday. I think the best day of the week to travel is a Saturday night. Because airports are significantly less crowded and vibes are high because everyone knows tomorrow's a Sunday. It's probably my best worst take. that the best time to fly is a saturday night yeah it is um you get your full day saturday wherever you are so you get to the airport there's just no madness no mayhem uh flights are typically a lot less full um can always get a seat at the bar restaurant or wherever you want to sit beforehand.

49:15And then what I love about it as well is we get the Sunday back in our home city to reset before the week ahead, to get our organization done, to get back in the rhythm of things versus when I would fly back on Sunday night, I just would always feel so behind. So yeah, I'm a big Saturday night flyer. I know it's ridiculous. No, I actually don't think it is. Well, you're giving up your weekend, which is like a crazy move. But you're also enhancing your weekend. You're kind of – You just got to crush up until – Like if the flight's at 7, you got to crush up until 4.35. Yeah, so we're doing this this week and it's like we're going to get up early.

50:00Watch a movie and it's like you're staying in on a Saturday night and like have a fun Friday night. Yeah, but we're going to have a really fun time Saturday morning. Like we're going to get up. We're going to go on a walk. We're going to go to a fun breakfast spot. and so it's actually going to be a great Saturday. So I have now converted to yes, I think Saturday night is the best time to fly. My only other time I used to think rivaled it was a Wednesday night because wherever you were going, you woke up there on a Thursday, which I think is the best day of the week. But I'm with you. Wednesday to Saturday night, great, great little.

50:34But if we're getting an award of the best time to fly, I think it's a Saturday night because the vibe is overall high. Yeah. But I'm a Wednesday, like for a lot of travel, Wednesday to Saturday. That's a really nice, you get Friday in the place you're going, Thursday, as you said, boom. That's it. Speaking of us going home, I do want to talk about, so Harrison took full control of the bedroom. We returned our bed and Harrison has done in our bedroom and it's all going to be there when we get back. blue velvet bed pink striped rug but like abstract stripes you did the bedding oh you got the toss pillows like i am the dresser of the week next week pillows well i don't even know how we're gonna bicker about it but yeah we do i already know the bicker it's a long-standing bicker between the two of us i think i another classic bicker where i think i'm right and the internet that tells me I'm wrong.

51:30Yeah. So where we've shaken out on the room is we've not seen anything. Things have started to get delivered today. I feel great about it. If the room doesn't land, everything can be returned in the next 15 days. And then I will completely remove my hands from the process as will I but as of today I think our room is gonna be exactly what we're looking for well I really gotta hand it to you because you so I posted anybody know any Austin-based interior designers Harrison came home and he was just like I'm upset because I really want to design our house with you and I was like I want to remove designing the house from my plate because it's a little overwhelming for me.

52:21And like, if I have a pie of a brain, I don't have the 30 % required to put towards designing the house. And he's like, I want to do it. I'm going to give you presentations. I'm going to make it fun. I'm going to do the whole thing. And I said, okay. And like you did, you made those Canva presentations I was making, or I think you used chat UBT and you brought them to me and you showed me and you asked me what I liked and you ordered everything. Like, I'm so proud of you. You made it really fun. And I think it's going to look incredible. Thank you. I just hope it actually looks good. But if it doesn't, you gave it your all and like the things you ordered should look great.

52:54That is my point here is like with the way we did it before, where like we, the bed we returned, like that we were hodgepodging it. And I didn't feel like we kind of took a holistic approach to it. I felt like we were rushed. We just wanted to order for the sake of ordering. And yeah, I feel if it doesn't turn out great, then it missed. Or then I'm not the person for the job. You really gave it your all. I'm loving the chairs for downstairs too. Have we talked about the chairs? No. Alex created a video about the chairs, about these chairs I found. Everyone's like, I love them. They're so amazing.

53:34Boom. Do I order those chairs? No, I don't order those chairs. I order different chairs that look very different. Alex loves them. I wanted them to swivel. Alex wanted swivel chairs. I also thought we had too much flower going on. These ones are striped pink chairs with hearts. They are Bubber chairs. Like they are for Bubber. They are chairs for Bubber. Bubber's house gets like these chairs. They are so like they are my perfect chair. I was like, we can't top the floral. And then you showed me this and I was like, we just topped it. 24 months ago, you asked me to design a TV room. It's all leather, stone, iron.

54:12It's like, no, no. You're in Bubber's house. It is pink. The irony of it is you're the one designing it. You're doing a very good job. I just hope it all comes as we're envisioning. I love color. Thank you for that. Let's talk a little bit about the second episode really quickly. What to expect, how we're thinking about it. Okay. So I think you can break it down into four different buckets. Bucket one is interviewing experts on parenting. Experts. So like a speech pathologist or a dietician or a lactation consultant. Yeah. Bucket number two would be experts in general life matters. Like who? Like a financial advisor.

55:01Oh, okay. um a general like a couple's therapist a couple really want to do exactly um a that's enough examples that's good okay i i i thought i could do six or eight more i liked when he said immediate family and then had to

55:23of the immediate family and then there was six to eight options here's here's here's why i clarified the immediate family because my thought was that dave niter his brother-in-law would wonder if he was included his brother-in-law immediate family and i needed to clarify that niter is not a plate eater what i'll say about niter niter is a table order niter niter will go to to a restaurant he actually will order 80 of the menu i love it that's fun though like He will get eight out of 10 entrees, this guy. It's great. But that's so fun. He is. He's a lot of fun. As fun as it can get when it comes to going for dinner with someone.

56:05That's the kind of energy I like to eat with. He brings the energy from the minute he gets to the restaurant, walks in to the hostess area, to the water at the table and ordering the drinks in Mainz, to ordering the dessert, to going to the bathroom. Oh my God. Stop. Stop. Come on. I got to get on my own joke here. Do you do you put in the food in the mouth? Do you get your own joke, though? Like, do I think that was a really good example of me getting my own joke. But do you notice when you do it? OK, so where where I noticed it for the first time was we were over at the neighbor's house and we were talking about really fun things we wanted to do.

56:45And we were like, oh, and Halloween this year is going to be really fun. And Harrison was like, I want to have a Halloween party. And I was like, great, that'll be really fun. This is back in February. and then Harrison's like what are we going to be for Halloween I'm like I don't know like we'll decide a little closer to and he's like what what time should the party start and I was like I don't know we have like nine months to figure it out and he's like what are we going to serve at the party and I was like Harrison it's February like we'll get to the party and we all just like died laughing because.

57:13And I wanted to get into the logistics of what streets would we rope. No you know what it was I wanted to plan the route for what streets we were going to shut down. But what is that inside the brain? What is that trait? Because you have a really powerful brain. You're a very thorough man. I think that that specifically right there kind of ties into there was some quote that I read the other day which talks about one of the keys to happiness in life is always having things to look forward to no matter how big or how small. and so I do love having things planned and on the calendar to look forward to and so like the idea is like oh I just like thought of Halloween and how amazing we could make it and I just got a little ahead of my skis you you got so the one that tripped you up was what time the party would start like well when does the sunset and I was just like oh my gosh but you gotta like good things take time good Halloween party can't be planning a week beforehand I I love this about you.

58:18There's a guy on our street who owns a bunch of Halloween shops. No. That's his business. The guy on our – can we say what it is? I don't know. I don't think we want to do any of it. Okay. Well, you guys have heard of it. Yeah. You got your costume there. We couldn't believe it. We had the – So we are armed to do Halloween massively. We need everyone's support on the street. I think we have a very fun street that's got a lot of buy-in, okay? We've got some really good new additions to the street. so we just need to set the pace early on. Yeah. And we need to say we're doing Halloween big so we need to go get the giant skeleton and we need to deck our house out and we need to get the neighbors on board.

58:53What date do we want to start? We should probably start now. I don't think we need a second episode. I think the second episode can just be me talking into detail about the things that we don't talk into detail about on the first episode. You're so detail-oriented. You're so detail-oriented. There was two areas where you're just coming off and I would like to talk about them both but I can't remember either of them. I'm very sad about that. No, I really do feel bad. I was trying to get to points three and four. Yeah. Right. So number – Just give us a quick summary on the second episode. The first one is – Parenting experts.

59:25General life experts. General life experts. Bucket three.

59:31Creators and – is the word creators? Yes, yes. Yeah, I think creators. Or media personalities. I like that more. Colton Underwood to me – Is not a creator. He's a media person. He's a media personality. And then Matt and Abby to me are content creators. Yeah. So it's creators and media personalities through the lens of family and parenting. So Colton and his husband, Jordan, like that's where we wanted to have them on was those two talking about parenting, talking about their relationship. Like that's what we want. Talking about their IVF process. Yes. They have some really like some sperm things in that episode that are really fascinating.

1:00:11Really interesting. and and for Matt and Abby okay so what you can expect so what you can expect from Sunday's episode which I'm really excited about is basically parenting showing your kids face online they took their kids face offline like why how did they go about thinking about that internet hate navigating the internet what do you put online with your relationship what do you talk about with your kids so they are younger than us but older than us on the internet like they've been around a lot longer doing family content. We were, we really wanted to talk to them and be like, okay, what have you learned?

1:00:45What would you do differently? So they're really great conversation. So, um, totally, totally agree. And I think that what's so, one of the things that's so interesting about them is like, we didn't like know, I didn't know that world of like family creators existed 12, 18, 24 months ago. And these people like they are, you know, the, um, They built such a big brand in this specific vertical that like really just interesting to see how they've done it, where they draw the line, where they don't. And yeah. Love that. What's the fourth bucket? People in our lives. The characters of our lives. Family, friends.

1:01:36Do you think the neighbors would come on? um we'll ask them i i would love i would love if the neighbors came on um we'll do an episode with jewels this is on every episode no we go jewels no pull up a seat we don't need the camera on so it's just like this one of my favorite jewel stories ever i don't know if we told this story was the first day that Jules started working with you. She showed up and she thought it was still an interview process. And the way she describes it is she's like, I sat down and Alex just started giving me her passwords to her accounts. And that's when I clued in that I had the job.

1:02:24And I said, learn how to pay yourself through, set up this and then help and then do. So good. Um, so yeah, I long went away of saying, um, four different buckets of conversations, uh, have had a lot of fun with this initial episode and we've done two and we're going to do two more over here. So like we're, we're going, I meant like the Thursday episodes with you. I've had a lot of fun doing. Let me ask you about your journey into content creation. Have you been enjoying it? You make it fun. If you made it stressful, I would not enjoy it. If you put like, if you put a bunch of pressure on it, like if you didn't make it fun, I wouldn't do it.

1:03:06Like I really like it because you make it fun. It doesn't take up our household time either. Like I think if I was like, Harrison, we are going to make dinner and I'm going to make a video. And then like that process sucked. I don't think we could do it. And I think that, that it's like the reason why the podcast, I enjoy it so much is because it fits in a very specific time slot, right? Like I know every week I need to show up for this time and I need to focus, do it, and then it's done. Versus like vlogging, which I don't, in theory, I think it could be really fun to do, but in reality, I don't think I could do it.

1:03:45Time-wise, it would just be time suck. If it's always overarching over me and I can't like bucket it, then it's not for me. So I feel like there's a lot of boundaries between when content is being made and when we're living life. And I always say like one of your superpowers is like when it comes to content is your ability just to like point, shoot and upload and not let it ruin the moment. And so, yeah, you've made it really fun. I'm excited to do the second episode. The first two, as you said, were really great.

1:04:22And that's our news. Both of them. I had a lot of fun with Colton and Jordan today, too. Yeah, they were great. Everyone was great. A lot of great. A lot of great. A lot of good people out there. Do you want to do things we DM'd or no? Do you want to wrap? Because we're pretty far into this. I think we've got to do at least one things we DM'd. Okay. Oh, wait. I love what I DM'd you. Can I do mine? I love it. Okay, so tell me something your parents did when you were little that made your childhood magical. I'm not talking about extravagant trips to Disney. I'm talking cost next to nothing. Okay, so I love this one.

1:04:57My mom gave me a book that I could write any question I had on it and put it on her pillow. And she'd write back and put it on my pillow. That way, if I was embarrassed to ask something in person, I could still write it and get advice. That is amazing. Like, unreal. That is so sweet. um thoughtful very thoughtful my mom and I would sneak out and get food we had to throw our drinks away because my siblings would get jealous if they knew found out she did this with all of us no it's so cute I love the comment section so good this is the one I want to do um pajama rides we would all be tucked in and ready to go to bed and randomly my parents would come in yelling get in the car and hurry and then they would take us to get ice cream it was the best incredible right incredible so much fun Some of, I guess, two things.

1:05:47Like that last one sparks my family's Dairy Queen runs. Love it. Which we have brought you on. They have a dairy-free dessert. We just like, you know, things in life that like your history and memory have made so good and so special. When in reality, like the product probably sucks, right? Like to me, like a blizzard is like, it's probably my favorite dessert of any dessert ever. But not because it's like so good. But not because it's good because of the memories of that I had going up there. And like, I still like remember my mom's order as a score blizzard. What is that? So do you guys not have scores here?

1:06:37No, we have score bars. Okay. My order. Oh, oh. My Dairy Queen order doesn't exist in America. What is it? It is Smarties with mint. We don't have mint here in America at Dairy Queen? You don't have Smarties. Oh. And they only here allow you to put the mint in the Oreo. Not the same. That is absurd. On Uber Eats at least. Smarties like Smarties or Smarties like chocolate. The chocolate, like our better version of M &M's. Now, peanut M &M's are number one, followed very closely by Smarties. and then normal M &Ms, very, very meh. So smarty M &Ms you're saying are better than M &Ms? Have you not?

1:07:21I gave you smarties. You had them. I remember. I think they're a little smaller and they have a little more punch to them. They're like, oh. A little more flavor. They're the best things. So you like a smarties with mint. You like mint. You like a chocolate with a mint. You're a big chocolate mint guy. Mint chocolate. That's how you say it. You're a mint chocolate guy. Yeah, yeah. Okay. That's the things we DMed. Well, what do you want to do with Bubber? The pajama rides. I would love to run in there and be like, pajama ride. Hurry. And I'd love to have like a siren. Like you got to get in the car.

1:07:48We're going on a pajama ride. Do you think Bubba's going to be fast? Would you like to say that? She's a pretty fast little crawler. I miss that child so much. Yeah. So in terms of things, IDM'd you. Save those for next week because we are getting tight on time. Okay, let's go. We're going to go do our drive back. Love it. Thank you for listening.
