Bobby Bones Show Best Bits of the Week with MorganBest Bits: Lunchbox & Morgan Talk Nashville Snow Day and Garage Fridges
It’s a great weekend!! Lunchbox joins Morgan to talk about their respective Nashville snow days. Lunchbox’s kids loved the cold, and Morgan made a core memory. Plus, Lunchbox is shocked to learn Morgan grew up with garage fridges.
The Best Bits of the Week with Morgan, Part one behind a scene with a member of the show, Good morning, everybody, Happy Saturday. Lunchbox is joining me. Go ahead, let us have it.
Man, this could you kind of picked the worst Saturday for me to come up here. Coaches conventioned four for the Sore Losers podcast is going on right now. I got places to be up late. Last night. We had an open bar happy hour at Chiefs. The party bus, I mean, Nashville Tractor provided a party bus for us for two hours. I'm tired, but I'm here. I'm here.
You are You're doing it for the people.
Yeah, we're going to be Yeah, we're going to Chiefs later today and we're gonna do a live podcast and a watch party for the NFL tomorrow. Will be at Category ten Luke Combs's bar. I mean, I don't know, man, it's just busy, busy, busy.
Your body keep up with us, now, you know, because you're kind of like a little old man.
No, I don't think I'm a little old man. Old man, you know what I'm saying. But yeah, we were doing everything.
I'm struggling though. Are you sitting here hoping that it's over sooner rather than.
Like, oh no, I'm doing great right now, because it's only been one night. I got to I still gotta go tonight to the Prads game. It's Keith Urban Knight tonight.
Nice, So he's gonna be there.
I don't know, but I think it's his bobblehead night. So I'm in my gut I'm guessing he's gonna be there, but I don't know.
Yeah. I think it's early enough into the year too that he probably is. I don't think he's out touring or anything yet.
That's why I was hoping, you know, Keith Urban's gonna My envision for Keith Urban Knight is him singing, Oh say, can you see national anthem?
Or though?
That's what that is? Yeah, okay, there's like two different songs, and now I'm like the Spangled banner was the other one.
I was thinking, knows that's the national anthem?
Are they the same thing?
Yeah?
Functioning? I know.
I mean, you went to Kansas.
State, are they are they?
Are you serious?
Pledge of allegiance that's separate the Star Sangle banner and the national anthem? So the Star Spangled banner is the national anthem?
Correct?
Thank you.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. It's just easier to say national anthem than star spangled banner.
That's it's also weird that something has two official names.
You know, that's true.
So that's what's throwing me off.
Yeah, and then tomorrow we got the Escape game. Have you ever done that?
The Escape game? I don't, I know, I actually haven't. I've wanted to go do one of those. Yeah, I have like the correct group of people to try it with.
I don't know if these are the correct group of people, the Sore Losers Nation. They are a bunch of idiots, but in a good way. And so it's there's like seven people on my team and seven people on Ray's team, and we're going into the exact same room, just different look, you know, like one room's on the right, one rooms on the left, and it's a it's a bet on who can get out.
The fastest, And I'm betting you think you can get out the fastest.
I'm of course, I'm thinking that. I don't think Ray's gonna be able to get out.
You don't think he's gonna be able to get out at all. That's sad for Ray.
Yeah, I think he's gonna be stuck in. I don't know who's gonna be on his team. So maybe they're smart.
Are you guys gonna draft teams like I pick you? I pick you, kind of like old school high school.
Oh that's a good idea. I didn't even think about that because I'm like, what if a couple bought tickets and it's the couple there? Do I break the couple up?
I mean, if you do an old school you can do whatever you want.
Yeah, that's a good point. I'll think about that. Like if Ray gets the first pick, I get the next two picks.
Oh well, normally, just in like dodgeball days, it's like you go, I go, you go, I go.
Yeah, but see that means you would get the first and the third best person quote unquote if you listen.
That's the old school way of doing it.
That was like back in Jim pe days, I know, but nowadays, like when you do a fantasy football draft, you do like whoever has the tenth pick, if there's only ten people in your league, they also get the eleventh pick. So you go in reverse order the now way on the way back, because that way they don't get just stuck going boom boom boom.
I mean, yeah, it's definitely a more fair way of doing it. Definitely how we did it and PE wasn't fair.
Yeah, and then it was fun. Yeah. And then right after I do this, like right after I leave here, I got to go to Bad Acts throwing. We're having brunch and throwing some axes.
Dang, you guys really jamp backed the weekend.
Oh yeah, the convention. It's just non stop. It's exhausting. And here's the hard part is when it's all said and done, I have to go home where I have kids, and so like they wake me up at you know, six in the morning, Dad, Dad, I'm awake. Im. I just got home.
So you don't throw on some pinch hitters for the weekend.
And no, no pinch hitters. Now, Like when we did the convention in Vegas, my in laws would come and watch the kids.
Yeah, but since we're here, no, so it's just you and your wife and me and the wife.
But doesn't your wife also helpless thirl lizards convention.
Yeah she does. So it makes it tricky, you know what I mean? Like last night I had the kids and then I drove them down the Broadway and they were in the car and my wife came out of Chiefs, got in the car, and I got out and went in chief for the open bar happy hour.
So she's helping set it up and then you're coming in and bringing the home run.
That's right, Okay, So yeah, I mean it's a rough weekend. But yeah, I mean, uh, are your people though, I'm pretty excited because I've never done escape game and I've never done bad acts throwing.
Wow, so those are both first for you. That AX story is fun. You guys will have a lot of fun.
I think that's gonna be a blash.
Yeah, especially eating brunch at the same time. That's anything with paired with brunch is always a good time.
Anything with brunch. And I mean, brunch is such a cool term. It sounds so sophisticated.
Yeah, it does kind of sound weird coming out of your mouth when you said the pantim taco thing.
That's how funny. Rest in peace to those.
I know that place didn't open anymore.
Yeah, but I am telling you, Uh, brunch was not a thing like I never had that when I was in college, and when I was out of college, there was no such thing as brunch. I mean, I think they or was, but it wasn't as popular as it is now.
Yeah, it's definitely a thing now, a trend social media situation because when we were in college, it was brunch as we were kind of on the way out of college when it first started. Yeah, and then definitely when I moved to Nashville. Oh my gosh, everybody. Yeah, so okay, well I'm excited.
Yeah, so that's what we do.
It used to be fun and nobody goes to jail.
That's what we're hoping. It's just it's tough and no one's gonna go to jail on a Saturday. Dude, I know, I'm coaching coaches con mentioned weekend basketball game.
This agame where they can't hear you from.
I got bad acts going right after this.
Dude Scuba in case you couldn't hear him. Last time you guys did that, Nobody could hear Scuba. So all they heard was you just one sided of the conversation.
No, they heard him. They were laughing.
Barely barely they heard Scuba for sure.
He was loud.
Okay, well, we did just have a snow day situation.
Oh what did we not do with the fam is the question. I mean, did we live out in the snow?
Oh?
My god, I have to say this. I have never been more proud of my boys than I was on the snow weekend.
Okay, it give it to me, give me the snow weekend.
They wouldn't come inside.
Oh, they loved it. They weren't cold. Oh they were cold, all three.
Of them, or well, the littlest one, baby Box three, he would get a little cold and he would go inside. The other two I had to drag them by their jackets to get inside. I mean it was like dark out and they're the only two outside just going sledding and just snowing and snowing and snowing. I mean, we had an impromptu party on Saturday night. And I mean, I don't know how many kids were at my house. I have no idea.
Is it because you have a hill in your backyard or something?
No, it's just because here's the deal. We have a couple families in the neighborhood that we hang out with all the time. Yeah, and they always invite us over to their houses and they one of the moms likes to cook, and so she always cooks dinner for a like the kids, everybody that I love it great, and we never have people over never. And so we had gone sledding at a golf course because they always got big hills a golf course, and the two families left early, but we stayed because my kids didn't want to leave, and we just kept sledding and sledding and sledding, and then we get a text from them like, hey, our kids want to kind of go back out in the back in the snow this afternoon. We're like, well, why didn't everybody just come over to our house? And they're like all right, And so then that turned into well, if we're inviting them, we should invite the people across the streets. So we invited people cross street and then we're like, well, if we invited them, we should invite you know, John and Sally around the corner. And since John and Sally live across from you know, Mark and Mary, we should invite Mark and Mary. So we invited Mark and Mary. And then oh, if we invited Mark and Mary, we should invite And so we ended inviting all these people. Yeah, and so there was kids everywhere.
Did you cook?
No, we ordered pizza and you can go to listen to Sore Losers Podcasts from Monday and find out why my kids are never allowed to work at a pizza shop. They're never allowed. Okay, we had an incredible run in with the pizza dude. Incredible.
You don't want to share your story?
No, I mean I need someone to go listen to the podcast. I mean it is so dang but it's like it's one of those moments where you're like, is this reality? Am I living in real life right now?
And it had to do with pizza dude?
Yeah? Okay, like you are just like, what planet is this dude on right now? Or am I on a different planet?
And I am just he was he from Toy Story the Pizza plays and Toy Story Pizza Planet.
No, yeah, I mean he might have been. He was on a different planet. I do believe in his mind he was on a different planet. But yeah, So, I mean we just snowed it up, I mean the whole time.
Okay, so they the boys did sledding.
Any snowball fights, Oh, snowball fights, built a snowman.
I mean we did everything.
Did you guys make some snow ice cream?
Uh didn't know how to do that, but we did make snow cones.
Okay, snow ice cream is another fun one.
That is what The neighbor across the street, his mom and dad live close by, and they were over there one uh, I don't know what night it was, and they were asking me, did you make snow ice cream? That's good you gotta get And I'm like, I don't know what that. I've never living from Texas, you don't know what that is. But we did make snow cones out of snow off the ground. We picked it up, put it in cups and iced up real quick. Heard the syrup on there and we ate that sucker. No, we had syrup. We got to make snow cones.
Really like that's a common well.
No, my uh granny and grandpa gave us a snow cone making machine a couple of years ago that we have in the that you can make little snow cones. It's a little It's like I.
Was like, how do you just randomly have this syrup for a snow No?
And so then and then it was great. We did all that and the party was bananas. Was awesome. But then one of the neighbors that we always go over to, they were like, he was like I can't believe no one wanted to come to my house because his his backyard is like on a hill, like it's downhill, and he was like, no one wanted to come sled at our house. I can't believe it. And I'm like, well, why don't we come over in the morning. He was like, I'll see if it's gonna be good. So he went out on Saturday night when he got home from the party, and he packed it down and he made two tracks, two sled tracks.
That's amazing.
And so that way, we were there Sunday morning at eight thirty in the morning sledding, and my boys the other kids lost interest after about an hour. My kids sledded for two and a half hours.
Was he like, oh, okay, get these kids out of my yard.
No, no, no, no, And then it started melting and stuff. And then my oldest baby box he stayed outside with a chisel and a hammer and was just chiseling ice off the sidewalk because he was having so much fun and he would not come inside.
It's a really good thing that they at least get one snow day a year, yeah in Tennessee versus none in Texas.
And I thought about it. I was like, did we go too hard? Like, did we go too hard this weekend? And then Sunday night, about two thirty in the morning, Baby Box two woke up and vomited everywhere.
Oh yeah, he went to hard, so we may went too hard. Well, But also it's.
I don't know, hashtag worth it.
Yeah, I was gonna say, because it's always once a year that we get it here. Yeah, there's no other time to do this again because we will not have another snow day like that. If we do, it's very rare, right.
So it's usually once a year. And it was perfect because they were at the age where they really enjoyed it. And like the three year old I was when we went to the slopes, I was like, oh, man, is he gonna do it?
Man?
First one just gone. He was I don't even need what nervous. He loved it.
Just fALS ened.
I don't know what that means, but yeah, you don't know.
What false end means. Nope, it means something like instead of you know, you just go down the sled and it's fun or whatever, it's like he went just head dove first straight at something.
Oh he did he went, he went he went all in, I mean, feet first, dove in, whatever you want to call it, dop, I mean not scared at all. It was great. And what's funny is so like the snow was coming, right, Winter is coming. Winter is coming like Game of Thrones or yeah, I've never seen it, but I just assume the My wife looked on a mom's page and was like, Ace Hardware has a ton of sleds. Nice, and she tells me this on Thursday. She goes, but that was four hours ago, so if you want to get some, you better go. So, you know, drive down to Ace Hardware and I roll up and I'm like, I hope I can find them, and I roll up in the parking lot and they're right there on a pallet. There's like six or seven left.
Oh yeah, that's not that many, No.
And there's three people just standing like they're standing there looking at the sleds and I don't know what they were doing. Were they debating like, oh are those the right size? Do I want one? They had their hands on their chins just looking at them. I'm like, dude, if there's no options, that's your option. You grab it right, Yeah? And I'm like, what do you there's three people and there's only like seven sleds, so I'm gonna be fighting for I jump out of the car, grab three immediately, don't even hesitate. Then someone grabs two more down to two sleds. I mean just like that. It's like spoons but sleds edition And I'm like, what do you Why is there a debate? You just grab them? Crazy people?
Yeah, I think also there's a lot of people that'll be like, no, we're not going to get this snow and I don't need this once a year. But we did this last year. So last year I had I had went sudding with my neighbors in our neighborhood park and it was super lame that the hill was super stupid and we tried to use my river tubes yeah, and they didn't work out.
Yeah.
So right after that snow day, Costco had put like some sleds out and she's like, I'm just gonna buy these in the case that happens next year, and you know what, we use those slugs that she wants.
Those are awesome. The little boogie boards. Yeah, they're like arrows. They're almost they almost look like an arrow.
Oh, ours are full on sleds. They were like little plastic.
Okay, well we had those two, but Costco sells these like boogie boards.
They're like arrows too.
Those are fantastic. Neighbor had those. We were using those. The plastic ones. We have like a real sled. But I'm gonna tell you what, at this age, it's a annoying because it's hard for them to pull it all the way up, so you got to go to the bottom of hill and pull it up. So I'd rather just give the play. I mean, that was the funnest part is watching my three year old drag that big old plastic sled back up the hill and it's bigger than him.
You gotta teach him to do it because that's part of the sledding experience.
Man, it was awesome. It was crazy. It was great. So what did you do?
Well, we're going we'll take a quick break and I'll tell you I have some good stories for you.
So you had to go to the Sore Losers podcast for Monday and read all about the snow extravaganza.
Do you want them to listen? What you said? Read?
You want them to listen? I said, read, Yeah, you definitely want him to listen. I guess I went a little too hard last night. Uh yeah, I want you to listen to Monday's episode and just hear some of the other snow stories.
Fantastic.
Okay, go listen to that. But now yet, because we're coming right back lunchbox. You're gonna love this. I made a major core memory and it was totally unintentional.
Okay, you did ab work out, you said.
Core core memory. Oh like this, you're park core Like this week for your kids was a core memory. They're gonna remember, They're gonna remember forever ever, So that was mine. We went, Uh they will, I don't know what. It's not the two youngest, well, because.
There were low five, so they don't really remember anything at four or five.
Yeah, but if you keep reminding them of that story, they'll remember it.
Yeah.
Okay, and you love to remember things. I remember everything exactly, so they won't. One of them has to have that skill too.
I'm hoping, Oh they do. My six year old remembers everything Rember time. D D keeps me in the face.
No, because that's the bad part of remembering everything.
Well, because Dede was babysitting when we were out of town, and apparently she was walking up the stairs and he walked up behind her and she put her foot up, you know, as she's walking and keat him in the face. Or she's like He's like, remember that time Granny cigarette got me in the burn me with her cigarette in my eye. That was on the day Baby Box three came home from the hospital.
He's remembering everything and bad.
It's fantastic.
Do you remember everything good and bad?
Out? Everything?
Okay? Every but you're okay, yeah.
I'm good. You don't have any It's weird though, but it's and it's bad because I do remember everything. So when someone tells her, I'm like, that's not right, and I correct them. Yeah, it's not bad, it's not good.
Yeah. Because then also the other person's like, wait, what, I remember it this way?
Yeah, And I'm like, no, no, no, trust me, I have a memory of still. I mean, I'm telling you my mom. When we were kids, we would I would go to work sometimes with my dad or whatever, and you had to have a payphone back then to call, and we would drive by a payphone on the other side of town and I'd be like, Dad called you from that payphone yesterday, And my Mom's like yeah, right, and should get home and asked my dad and be like, yeah, that's where we stopped. I don't know why I have no.
Parents have a really good memory. I don't like. But obviously as they get older that changes.
But like, whoa, what are you saying they got they're old? No, I just know as well my parents old.
No, as everybody ages.
You lose your or I don't remember if they have good, great memory or not. But I like directions. Once I've been somewhere, I know how to get there.
Yeah you are. You're super impressive with that too. You hate that I use GBS.
It drives me nuts. Like my wife wants a bow GBS and I'm like, I know how to get there. She goes just in case, and I'm like, would you please stop? Just turn it off.
I do the same thing to you whatever. Whenever we've driven together, I'm like, no, I need it in GBS.
It is, but I'm like, I can tell you where to go. It drives me insane that people don't know how to get like, I don't know how. It's so hard.
So it's a blessing Anna curse.
Yeah for you, I'm a road map, like I really am a road map in my head. I'm just boom, get there. Wow.
Okay, so go to the roads core memory. Yeah, we were able to drive on the roads. Well I was.
You did not pull yourself behind the car.
I don't do that, wed my dad did that when we were growing up. That was super fun. But that was like in Kansas.
That is so dangerous and you should never do that.
We were experienced, and we were in.
The North sas experience.
Well you're in parking lots.
I don't know, I have no idea. I've never done it. I've just seen it on the news. And tell me how dangerous.
Is Okay, Well, yeah, because people are dumb and the on main roads and it's a whole thing. Okay, there's there's ways to do it safely.
Got it.
And if you're going like five mile, you know it's a whole thing.
Got it.
Anyways, so you're able to drive on the roads. And we went to Capitol Hill, Oh, the one right out there, Yeah, downtown Nashville. And we show up lunchbox that.
It's a big hill and those are a lot of stairs.
Okay, a lot of stairs, big hill.
Yes, isn't the one that's on Rosa Parks.
Yeah, oh yeah, and it goes straight down like the Capitol's on top of it. You have a hill and then.
It's on the back side of No, okay.
You can use Rosa Parks to get to it, but you don't.
Talking about there's only one hill that I'm talking about.
It's well, that's probably the front side. There's multiple sides.
Okay, see that's what I'm trying to think of where it is.
Well, so like the Capitol, the backside of it, there's literally one hill it like flattens out, and then there's another hill. So you have two massive hills right in this area. But we walk up some dude had brought his like DJ thing and set up a pop up to on Capitol a hill to like DJ. That's legit for everybody there, and people were sitting there. It was like a whole bar party in the middle. So like you have the run.
Hill, people drinking, yes, legit.
People had probably whole liquor bottles and they had packs and packs of beer like you would have thought I just walked into some bar that legit were there kids There were still kids like sledding, okay and hanging out. So this is what we first walked into. I'm like, what is happening? This is amazing. Also, we're on Capitol Hill, so that also just added a layer to it.
Yeah, and you're making getting bills passed and kind of it.
Was like this doesn't feel legal, but we're gonna roll with it. Okay, so we see this all happening. We didn't bring alcohol. We had no idea that that's what was gonna You were moochers, Oh no, we were. We were focused on sledding. Okay, we brought like our sleds. We were that was the goal of why we came. So we're going up there. We're having the best time. We also went full sam. We were going downhill face first like we were sending it.
That's the fun part.
But this was the best part was watching all of the different different variations of sleds that people brought go for it.
I saw I saw someone trying to use a dang kiddie pool. Yeah, that didn't work. They just threw it to the side.
There was lots of There was lots of air situations, like we saw a t Rex air floating that you put on a lake. Okay, we saw swan.
Floating Oh the swan floating is that's a big one. That's a cool one when you see.
It on the line, air mattresses, air couch, so lots of air situations. But then there was somebody using a baking.
Tins all put some crisco on it.
I don't even think it needed crisco. It just went straight out. So baking shoot was one. Then we saw people putting themselves in full garbage bags and just sliding down.
That works. I would have never thought of that.
Again. I think it's because the hill was so steep. Everything kind of worked. Everything worked, besides cardboard. People had cardboard and that was not working for them.
Oh that sucked because the snow was too fluffy.
Yeah, it needs to be more ice.
Yeah, because we used to do cardboard in Texas when we'd got when it would snow. Know, we go to the Murkison Hill. Oh my gosh, let me tell you baby.
And that would work.
It'd work. But someone told someone told me they redid DAWs which was the elementary school on top of the hill, and so the hills no longer there.
Oh that's sad.
I know. We used to run that hill in gym. I set the record I'm.
Really happy for you.
Thank you.
You would also love this one because there was these two dudes that came with their couch cushions, what girls came with their couch cushions, and they put them in garbage bags and that's what they were sliding on. Oh but then these guys rather couch cushies and wrapped them in duct tape and that's what they were sliding on.
And that works everything you're saying. This hills so downhill, it works. Okay, there is one hill that I know that it's just straight downhill, but I don't know that one.
Okay, there's also people just going down on their butts like that's how steep this hill was.
That's legit.
It was insane to watch. I should have gotten videos of all this. But crazy enough though, the people that were on the t Rex, so this hill goes so steep down that you're supposed to bail by the bottom. You're supposed to know, like you gotta bailah, or you're going into the street, or you're hitting a parked car. There's no one between. And apparently the people on this t Rex Floaty didn't seem to care, so she didn't bail and she goes wam right into a truck a parked car. Oh no, yeah, and all of a sudden, no she did. She did not die. He's our sitting up but like you see the truck rock, that's how hard they hit it. And then you just see her sitting there for the next like two hours. Fire the fire truck came and like checked her out.
Concussion.
Yeah, definitely had a concussion for sure. Oh no, that's how intense that hill was.
Yeah, Baby Box three on Sunday at the neighbor's house, we were going downhill and then he had planted some trees at the end, like the back fence, trying to like create like privacy between you know, him and other houses or whatever. And they're not full grown or anything, but in the fence, and we were like, you gotta bail before the fence or the trees. And all the kids are bailing, bailing, bailing. They're doing a great job. Then Baby Box three goes again. I'm like, hey, now you know you to bail, right, you know to bail all right? Yeah yeah yeah that and I said all right, three two one whom I shove him and he goes flying down that hill, and I'm like bell, bell, bell, boom, headfirst into the fence.
No, mom, Hey what mommy?
Oh yeah, not on his head.
You think he was going pretty fast?
Yeah, we're going pretty good.
Yes, enough to get a knot.
You don't have to get a knot. But he didn't, And I said, why didn't you bail? I don't know. I want to see how far I could go.
It sounds a lot like your kid on his But.
He came back out a little bit when he got a little nogging hot. I know him.
Yeah, well you who knows?
You know what I mean. He's gotta have a crazy idiot.
Anyway, so he pens and peas frozen peas on his head. I don't know.
I just sent him in.
The mom she was, she was, she.
Was inside cooking breakfast.
Yeah, so, well we had two collisions. Then on snow day, so.
That was And how long did you stay out there? Oh?
Well, so on Friday or Friday, So it was when all the snow was still really good.
The snow was beautiful, like it was big snowflakes. And I'm going to tell you what. It wasn't cold. It was only like thirty degrees, so it wasn't like last year when we had it it was like five degrees.
Well, last year we had so much ice and it was.
So miserable because it was five degrees it was so cold. This it was like thirty degrees and snowing, and it was like, wow, this is perfect.
It was. It was perfect out. We were out there for two hours. I mean we went out at four, so we planned to be done when it went dark, just to not drive on the roads. Yeah, but we ended up staying because we were having so much fun and just out there experiencing. It was like being part of life, like a very core memory that we'll ever have.
Yeah, I'm being part of life. That's usually a good thing.
Well, I just mean, like, you know, there's some moments where really, dang life, you know, it's kind of boring, nothing's happening to me. That was like a genuine life is happening and we're in it.
Yeah. I had a life is like moment like we were. We went to the park on Friday and sledding down the hill. The hill wasn't that good. It wasn't steep enough, so I had to do a lot of pushing because you'd go down a little section and then you'd had to push again and get them and so it wasn't that good of a hill. But whatever. But we're there, we're doing the kids are having fun. People are I mean, someone built a snowman that was probably fifteen feet tall.
Oh, there was a snowman that somebody built there. And they put a bunch of beer can that's good on all the hands. So it was like a multi handed snowman with a bunch of beer kit.
That's funny. Yeah, But I'm like, I don't know how they got the last ball up on top. They had to put it on someone's shoulders. But anyway, I digress. Uh, And we're sludden and some guy looks at me and goes, hey man, I'm like, Gray, here we go, big fan. Right. He's like, you guys were that family at the tree the tree farm when we were getting our tree? And I'm like, oh man, how's it going. So when we were buying our Christmas tree, there was another family there and our kids and their kids were running through the trees playing hide and go seek.
Oh fun.
And you know you never think you're gonna see these people again. It's like, ah, man, couldn't meet you all my exact night to meet you.
Man. They live in the neighborhood.
I lived in a different neighborhood, like close, like right around there. But it was just like whatever. And then my wife said, you get his number.
I'm like, no, yeah, you kind of should have. I feel like you met on a second time on purpose.
Yeah. It was kind of weird. It was like crazy.
Yeah, see, that was a life moment.
It was a light moment. It was like a wow, this world is so small moment, you know, like, hey, so did.
They all all the kids end up flooding together?
No? No, no, the kids didn't remember each other. And because when you're all bundled up, you don't really and you're just worried about your sled. You're worried about you going down, You running around, throwing snowballs, rolling, doing snow angels, everything, eating snow. Then yeah, I mean I don't know sore losers die. You know, you can check it out money, there's other stories. But yeah, that dude, I forgot all about them. Joe right now, I'm I'm Zack Man. Couldn't see exact.
See you now, you get it. Life moment, live moment.
It was all live moments this weekend, it was real life moments. When he starts puking at two thirty in the morning, that was real life.
Yeah, well that's that's when you say you're having a whole lot of fun. Honestly, it's kind of full circle moment, right Like when you're a kid, you have so much fun that you puke. When you're a medium adult, you puke because you drank too much. And then when you're older, you start to get older and you puke because life so like it's kind of full circle.
Do you think about it, you puke when you're older. I mean, I don't know how many granny and grandpas that are puking.
I mean, I'm saying, like old old age like.
And got you.
Got you got your stomach a lot easier.
I see what you're saying. I was just like, I don't know, I don't know if granny and Grandpa's throw up that much.
I'm just trying to create the full circle moment. You can say more you're wearing diapers. That's kind of more, But you don't really wear diapers when you're like middle adult. So I was trying to find.
A gotcha, I got you. It's Saturday. I'm just tired.
Sorry, you weren't getting that one. Okay, we're taking one more quick break, will be right back. Okay, Well, do you want to talk about anything from your vacation. I know it's kind of asked it, but did you have anything fun? Holiday break? Anything? Oh? No, uh uh Saturday morning. Friends.
We literally just stayed here, so we did nothing.
I mean, but you had in laws in town for two.
Weeks, and then my sister in law and my wife's aunt came. I'm not sure how many days they stayed for. And then her brother and his wife and two kids came for like sixty hours the day after Christmas and they were in and out pretty quick. But their son is four, so he's the same age, is he four? Yeah, he's like in between my middle and my youngest, like right in the between them, and he had never been around kids like this, and it was just like.
Oh, they never all hung out before.
Very rarely, okay, very rarely. And let me tell you, him and my youngest were attached at the hip for the two days they were here, and I have never seen these kids. They were just going so balls to the.
W When you say that, are you talking about like playing inside and there's activities going on.
I mean running around outside, inside, outside, upside downside inside, I mean everywhere, wrestling, jumping on the bed, jump, I mean the air mattress, you know you put in the room so they can have a slummer party. Just jump and jump and jump. And I mean just running back and forth, back and forth. I mean we played a game where they'd run to one side of the room and slide and I'd say, oh, and then they'd get up and run to the other side of the room and slide and I'd say, say, played that for forty five minutes. They thought that was the best game in the world.
You know, Lunja really love kids, but honestly, that sounds exhausting, was it?
It was just like, wow, this is you guys like this game.
I was just I'm like curious, like for you as an adult, and you're like, this is happening all the time for two weeks straight.
It's great that every moment of the time, every moment sometime like, oh my gosh, I could take a rest. But they he they got along so well, and they were just they just went so hard that the day after they left today, after the day, No, the day after they left. I mean, we didn't take naps, we didn't do anything, you know.
Like when they were there, when we were there.
And so because my three year olds, I was like, no, I'm not tired. I'm not tired. He was sitting on the couch the day after they left. It was four o'clock. He wrapped hisself around my wife's.
Arm like a little monkey, just out like a laut.
Two hours later, I said, hey, Bud, Bud, we're gonna eat dinner. We're gonna eat dinner. You want to wake up. He woke up, walked and I'm always walking to the table, grabs his water bottle, takes a big drink.
It's the sound effects for me, gets back on the couch, eat dinner.
So I just picked him up, put him in his bed. He woke up at seven thirty the next morning.
Dang donez. Yeah, that was really good for him.
It was u hilariously awesome. Then here's the crazy part. So then my in laws were leaving on the second. Yeah, but then Garrett and his family flew in on the second and.
He had company just the whole Yeah.
And Garrett in his family, they overlapped, so they were at the house for a few hours with the in laws and so like the in laws got kicked out of their room. They like airbnbstide. We had to flip the room real quick.
I was gonna say, what's the sleeping arrangements when all of that's happening.
All the kids all sleep in the same room.
Okay, kind of like a sleepover. SA.
You just throw air mattress down and we have a nugget. It's like a nugget is like a cushions that you build forts and stuff with. We throw those on the ground and they all sleep on.
Those and they're like bean bags kind of.
No, No, they're they're like like google it.
I've never heard of this.
Yeah, it's a nugget.
Nugget.
Yeah, and they have different you build different designs with them.
Uh.
Then the other the.
Oh, they're like it's like you'd be in a gymnastics place and they kind of have these different cushions.
Yeah, but they're not really gymnasticky.
They're like I see little triangles and stuff though, like you'd ad them all and you could do little things over them.
You can, Yeah, you can do anything. It's awesome. So yeah, like my sister in law. She slept on an air mattress on the floor in her parents in the room of their parents. Oh man, yeah, yeah, yeah.
And then any basically on a couch.
No, no couch, just air mattresses.
I feel like sometimes couches are comfier than air mattresses.
Though, oh no, we got one of those. There's big ones now, like they.
Yeah, I mean I have one, but like, my couch is so comfy. Sometimes I offer I, like, you know, I'll sleep on the couch. I love it.
Yeah. So that was it. And then so Garrett and then were there. But then this was so bad because they're right when they landed, they were only in our house for a couple hours. When the airline starts texting them there may be severe weather on Sunday. You can switch your flight for free. So instead of staying for three days, they only stay for two days because they were supposed to be bad weather. Yeah, and then all I did was rain. It didn't even get back weather. My airline were on, uh Southwest.
Southwest always canceled stuff for so they just.
They they were only here for forty eight hours instead of seventy two hours, So that trip got cut a little short, but they had so much fun. They played soccer and we went to the what is it called, uh.
Yeah, Memory, Come on Lunchbox. Such a good movie.
The Lights the I'm not cheek Wood.
It was like the lights, my guy, there's lights everywhere.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, cheek Wood. So we went and walked those lights and everything.
That was cool. I've never I've gone to cheek with a bunch, but I haven't ever known it was cool. Christmas lights It's nice.
And it was perfect because we went after Christmas, so there's no one there, so the kids could run around and be crazy and they weren't running over people.
You guys did opry Land too, didn't you.
We did ice at opry Land and that was fantastic. We did that with the family, and that is always good because the way they carved that stuff out of ice, I don't understand.
Yeah, it's like two million pounds of ice or something, and it's like they this one was Frosty the Snowman.
I'm like, how do they do this?
It's crazy. And the fact that like holds up so you're in all the parkas and.
I guarantee they cleaned those parkers every time.
Oh yeah. Yeah, real, Well, well at least you're not, you know, not a lot of bodily fluids because you're all bundled in you.
Yeah, that was it. I mean that's all. I mean, really, that's all we did.
Okay, we hung out. It sounds fun though, it sounds like a lot of family time. It was great, enjoyable. You relax some maybe, yeah we were no relax Okay, I can't really tell.
It was relaxing. I mean we didn't really do. Like I said, we didn't do much.
Yeah, but like also you did stuff because the kids were active.
All the kids were active.
Yeah, so it wasn't like you're sitting there on the couch like lounging around for hours.
Oh and then the women they all went and saw Wicked, So that was great.
You didn't want to see Wicked?
I wasn't invited.
Really, were you sad you weren't in?
Fine? No, I don't really care.
Okay, I didn't know if you wanted to see Wicked.
That didn't really matter to me. Yeah.
We rented it on my last after I had gotten back from my trip, on my last day home with my family. That was like the one thing we did was we rented Wicked and we all watched it, love it. No, Dad was not part of that participation.
Yeah.
The worst part for us over the Christmas is my parents refrigerator went out. Oh no, like before the day before Christmas, by a new one thankfully. You know, Listen, in Kansas, we love a garage refrigerator situation. I have a garage for we got a backup, so everything was out there. But like it was, it was the worst time for some All the food was made, it was in there like ready for Christmas Day day, and so he was dealing still with by the time I'd gotten back them getting the refrigerator fixed. So he was doing that while we were all watching Wicked.
See. I always thought someone that had a refrigerator in their garage was big time no, because like Justin he lived down the street from me, he had an extra fridge in the garage, and I was just always like, dang, yeah, this dude's got it, Like, oh my gosh, this is amazing.
No, wow, it was a thing in Kansas. Everybody had garages. Like my sister even still to this day, like when she bought her house, like she put refrigerators specifically crutch.
Yeah.
But it's like the backup one y so interesting. But I can't have one here. I don't have a big enough garage for it.
Yeah, but we didn't have that, like I was like as a kid, I was just like, man, that was that's it. Man.
Our our outdoor refrigerator when we were kids always held all the icys, all of our iceys for like the summer days when we'd be out, and I always had waters, like stacked with waters and gatorade. So it was like for us when we were outside doing.
Well, you mean water, You didn't drink out of the hose.
I mean we did that too. We also were like at the pool and had pool days and stuff.
I mean there was no I never had bottled water in my life.
That was it. That was the outdoor fridge. I'm gonna tell you right now. It was a regular thing in Kansas. People had outdoor frigerators for the specific reason.
I can't believe you guys had bottled water as a kid. Home. My you grave up different than I did.
Oh well. Also, I was drinking mountain dew out of a leader, so there was that too.
I drink. See what I am I can't wait for is when my boys are old enough and they start drinking milk straight from the gallon. That's legit. That's when you know.
You feel like now they still do that though heck.
Y had teenage boys drink straight from the gallon. Guarantee, I don't know.
I feel like we've gotten away from that.
Oh, because you're older now so you realize, oh my gosh, I shouldn't do that. But the teenage boys are going to be walking around in their underwear, their boxers, drinking straight from the gallon. That's what we do that. Those are my core memories.
I know, but fill me in as they get older. I just want to know if this continues to happen.
Guarantee, you hit us up. Guys. I know you have your teenagers out there that are walking around in their boxers and drinking straight from the gallon, and it drives you nuts, because it drove my mom nuts.
We did listen that we had mountain dew leaders, Diet Mountain de leaders from my dad and I and then Diet Pepsy leaders from my sister and my mom. That was like the two the things we liked, and we would drink out of those. It was horrible the fact that we drink so much of that growing up horrible.
So that's so weird. So what did teenage girls did? You guys just got dressed every day? What do you mean because teenage boys walk around in their underwear all day?
Like, oh yeah, I mean we wear our little Sophie shorts that we'd roll over multiple times and are like big little Sophie, or like there was a brand of shirts that we'd wear. But yeah, so we had clothes on.
Huh, that's so weird.
We weren't allowed to walk around, That's what I'm saying.
That's what I just I can I just be honest. It just hit me. I'm like, so girls didn't get to do that.
You had a sister though, Yeah.
I know, but I didn't even think about that until right now.
You like didn't realize she wasn't doing the same thing you were doing.
No, I mean, I guess I realized that then, But I just I feel bad because I'm like, we literally just wore underwear all day and drank out of the gallon, sat on the couch Like what up?
Yeah? No, that never even existed in my house because I didn't have a brother.
That sucks.
Dad always had clothes on.
So yeah, I imagine, so your dad did never just walk around with a shirt off.
Sometimes after he had like mode or he was outside or something. But yeah, huh, it's a different that's a different just household style because you know, he's a one dude and there's five girls.
That's so crazy, that's so wild.
You're having like a whole realization right now. All right, Well we're gonna get out of here, loved Box, thank you for being here on a Saturday, Saturday and none the lest.
