Humor and Heart: Navigating Expectations
Ever found yourself squeezing into tiny parking spaces or growing out of your favorite shoes too soon? Join us as we share a few laughs over these everyday antics and take a lighthearted look at life’s quirks. In episode seven of the Almost Brothers podcast, we open up about the exhaustion of long work hours and the amusing nicknames that have stuck with us over the years. But it’s not all fun and games; we also reflect on the importance of setting realistic expectations for ourselves and others, blending humor with thoughtful insights on how these expectations shape our lives.
Friendships can be tricky, especially when the balance shifts and expectations aren't met. Have you ever felt like you're giving more than you’re getting? Through our own stories, we explore how friendships can become lopsided and the importance of reciprocity in maintaining them. We discuss the challenges of setting personal boundaries, learning to say "no," and detaching from one-sided relationships. With a nod to personal growth, we advocate for grace in the face of unmet expectations and emphasize the role of effort and mutual respect in nurturing healthy connections.
Relationships bring their own set of expectations and challenges – from navigating infidelity to the hilarity of first meetings in the most unexpected places. Join us as we share candid stories about finding love and the dynamics of partnerships. Whether it’s the joy of discovering a local coffee and ice cream haven or recounting romantic comedies that strike a chord, our conversation is filled with humor, warmth, and genuine moments of introspection. Tune in for a blend of relationship insights, entertainment recommendations, and the joy of shared experiences, all wrapped up in the laughter and camaraderie that define the Almost Brothers.

Speaker 7:X, X, X, take up space.
Speaker 3:Oh man, you're grounded. All right, everybody, stop coming for Brother Rick, right, that's right I didn't do nothing to y'all.
Speaker 2:So on today's episode, we're going to be talking about expectations Egg-spectations. I know I was like what was I going to?
Speaker 4:say Did you feel weird about it?
Speaker 2:Yeah, Just, I've been thinking about this especially, you know, just examining myself, managing, managing, not expectations for others, but for yourself, like stop asking out of others what you don't do yourself. Right.
Speaker 7:You know, so.
Speaker 2:I've got to get better at that. That's something that that you know. I've noticed that myself, so that was something I kind of wanted to talk to you all about as well. As you know, have y'all came across that I wanted to talk to you all about as well? Have you all came across that? And boys, same for you all? Have you all came across that where someone expects out of you but then doesn't give back, especially in friendships, it's bad. It runs kind of rampant where one side expects so much out of you but then doesn't reciprocate that. Like I said, I've kind of noticed that about myself. I've got to do better at that.
Speaker 1:Yeah, you came to all my kids' birthday parties and I couldn't come to one of yours.
Speaker 2:I was messing with them the other day about that. I'm like you've got 17 kids and I come to all the birthday parties, but no, sissy, just don't. No, I understand.
Speaker 1:That's a drive, two-hour drive yesterday and today.
Speaker 2:That would have been tough. That's a lot. Yeah, I know that's something that I've got to do better at is expect out of myself what I expect out of others.
Speaker 1:Right.
Speaker 2:And setting that bar for myself, not just everyone else, because we judge people by their actions, while we want people to judge us by what we meant and not our actions. So have y'all experienced that, boys? What about y'all?
Speaker 3:uh, oh if I experience that, I don't experience it long, because I usually just just cut it off yeah, I cut them off.
Speaker 7:Yeah, but what about you? I don't know. Great insight, great they. Great insight man.
Speaker 2:They are killing this podcast right now he just lames into it.
Speaker 4:I think, when it comes to because you mentioned friendships, I feel like there's different levels of friendships that come with different expectations, and obviously you know it goes both ways and I know in a lot of those situations obviously every situation really you want to extend grace to everyone when they don't meet those expectations. But I feel like at the same time that's how a friendship works there's certain expectations, a certain standard that each person needs to meet and it's not a bad thing if those expectations aren't met. But when the effort's not given to meet those, that's where things start to get a little hasty.
Speaker 2:Yeah, and that's good, yeah, Because somebody could at least be trying, and then it's like, okay, at least you're trying, you're giving an effort, you know, know, but some people just don't at all and I I get that a lot, you know, with the 14 kids I have is I will put myself out there with with like peaches, for example.
Speaker 1:You know, I'll reach out to her and like, check on her and and then it inevitably especially with her turns into I'm a terrible father. I don't do anything for her because she always she wants what she can get out of people. It's not about what she can give ever.
Speaker 2:Yeah, and it gets frustrating when you set those expectations and they're like well, I don't even care to even try. And then you say, okay, well, that's fine, but then now I'm cut off from you, and those type of people get so mad at that yeah, yeah, that goes along with the power of no oh come on you have to know how to be able to detach yourself as well from those kind of people.
Speaker 4:Yeah, that's kind of where that's kind of where me and live have found ourselves. Uh, with some friends, we kind of found ourselves in this situation now where it's like, you know, kind of like everyone's like, oh, you guys are going to be great parents and stuff, and now we're fostering, so we have a couple of kids and it's like, okay, well, where are y'all at, we're doing this for them, doing this with them, right, like, where are you at yeah, yeah, I wasn't there for the birthday party, either You're just All right, never mind, everybody can roast Daddy.
Speaker 3:Look man, just what up Look listen, you didn't come on either.
Speaker 1:We've been going through a little rough patch.
Speaker 2:Now, mind you, two-hour drive, it is a lot. No, I'm not talking about him at all I did. I did last time I was down. I about him at all. I did. I did last time I was down. I mean I did come to visit them at their house, you know.
Speaker 1:So I mean it's not that impossible to do, but I came to visit you in alabama right, yeah, less than 24 hours ago just like a rock's throw right.
Speaker 2:Yeah, he's like wait, are you right down the road? Like yeah, is him. He just texted me.
Speaker 5:He said how you be down to play some basketball sometime. I'm like Mikey, I'm not driving to Alabama. That was the end of the conversation. He never hit me back Then mom called me and she was like, hey, we're going to go listen to Mikey Preach and Rector. I was like, oh, okay, Is he just visiting?
Speaker 2:She's like no no, he's like the preacher there I'm like make so much back now.
Speaker 4:Yeah, I could be down yeah, I'll take that back.
Speaker 5:I'll be there I was like so you live down the road now yeah, yeah.

Yeah, yeah, they, yeah, they had no, no like oh, okay, yeah, Cause it was just chaos and you know it just is it is what it is man. But yeah, so just kind of getting set at work. As you can see still in boxes so all right.
Speaker 5:So what is your first impression of my small little town?
Speaker 2:it's nice man, the coffee shop is that, that it's on my id mayor hunter.
Speaker 4:I was about to say. You're sitting across from the mayor it's on my id it's cool, man, it's it's.
Speaker 2:It's very chill and like just the people. Everybody I've met is just super inviting and friendly and it's been awesome. And, like I said, the coffee shop I'm going to wear that place out, man.
Speaker 4:Shoot. Oh my gosh, they know if they end up going out of business. They're like hey, mike, you want to come get a coffee? We're fine.
Speaker 1:That seems to happen every time Mike finds a good coffee place, they go out of business.
Speaker 5:I coffee's place. They go out of business. I know maybe you should not go there.
Speaker 2:Cow has won best coffee in nea and for the past two years they won again yesterday. Yeah, did you see?

Speaker 5:Yeah, yeah, I've never.
Speaker 1:I've never even heard of it, so that's really you know what a vibe is
Speaker 2:oh, learn something new it's like a bop.
Speaker 4:What? Was the original talking point a bop is someone.
Speaker 1:You don't make my blood pressure go up a vibe is just like a I know what a vibe is like atmospheric mood I have kids. I know what a vibe is we're hip, we're down, we're hip Word. Your haircut gives me a weird vibe, just say something about my hair.
Speaker 4:Go ahead.
Speaker 5:Your lack of hair gives us a weird vibe. You don't have any. You have negative hair.
Speaker 4:You owe.
Speaker 1:You owe hair Dang. That's messed up. That hurts my feelings.
Speaker 5:I thought your hairline started where your back hair started and he coming from my back hair too dang I got it braided today.
Speaker 2:We love each other on this podcast. I'm telling you right now this has been a little bit um so. So, boy, especially with y'all three being younger, I wanted to ask y'all do y'all ever get that in dating relationships, where one side expects? The world while you you, it seems like you cross the line when you expect something from them.
Speaker 5:Well, thanks for asking me I'm just jumping, my wife is right I also want to say dude, I hit, I hit the lottery with mom. I really did. There you go. We have Brownie points.
Speaker 4:No, not just that.
Speaker 5:She don't even know what I'm doing right now. But from the very start, we both kind of had an unspoken expectation of each other.
Speaker 2:Yeah, you know what I mean?
Speaker 5:We've had our scuffles, but, dude, I am the luckiest man on this planet.
Speaker 2:That's what's up.
Speaker 3:Okay, tristan, this is going to be a soft spot.
Speaker 7:We're going to go to Easton. You'll come back to me, okay, yeah, yeah, I have actually. Yeah, you know it is my job. I work over the road, so I'm never home, so obviously it gives a lot of time for somebody just to go out and do stuff.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 7:But yeah, I've just gotten cheated on a lot.
Speaker 2:How do you handle that?
Speaker 7:It's hard, it definitely sucks, but at the end of the day I always pray for the Lord's will. So if they're going to cheat on me, if that's what it takes to show me that they're not for me, you know, and God didn't intend them to be in my life yeah, you know, at the end of the day I just I know it's going to be all right. You know what I'm saying, Because if I'm going to be with somebody, God's going to put them in it's hard, hard lessons learned.
Speaker 7:Yeah, can you talk in your normal voice, and I'm stubborn too, so, yeah, I definitely gotta get the point hit at me hard.
Speaker 1:Well, we talked about it yesterday how easton kind of falls in love in about two days.
Speaker 2:So he kind of puts his heart out really quickly.
Speaker 1:So it's, it's. It's one of those things. He kind of sets him up, sets himself up for failure on that easier to get it broken when you put it out.
Speaker 4:Yeah, I mean my, my worst relationships were right before I met live.
Speaker 3:Right, it seems like that's how it goes, yeah.
Speaker 2:It's like, uh, there's some movie.
Speaker 1:It's like the and we're still hoping you find a good one.
Speaker 2:So oh, oh no.
Speaker 4:Talking crap about you.
Speaker 2:Oh, come on.
Speaker 4:Here she comes, oh snap.
Speaker 2:So I'm going to get on the mic and I'm going to tell you what he said.
Speaker 6:He didn't say nothing. All right, hand me the mic.
Speaker 1:Okay, he said. He said she hits people. Y'all can't tell her what I said.
Speaker 2:His worst relationship. Hey, I'm a snitch. And Richard's like yeah, we're still waiting on a good relationship.
Speaker 1:I meant to say that. Okay, listen.
Speaker 6:Richard. We know you're getting up there in age so it's excused.
Speaker 1:I feel that 100% feel that.
Speaker 2:He's our grumpy old man.
Speaker 6:Grumpy old man. I feel it, but I love you anyway. Frank is your spirit animal. Heumpy old man. Grumpy old man, I feel it, but I love you anyway.
Speaker 1:Frank is your spirit animal, he is man Me and Frank could just hang out and just lay all day.
Speaker 2:So for those of y'all that don't know, this is their dog. Yes, and he is the old man of the bunch. Last night he was just like in my face.
Speaker 4:He's just like hey, what are you doing? What are you doing? Where are you?
Speaker 2:going. He's like up, like licking under my glasses, Like let me just get up in here.
Speaker 4:What's this about?
Speaker 2:I'm just like and he's so big.
Speaker 6:So he just sat on me. He's a big old baby. He is All right, buddy.
Speaker 2:He's a big old baby, he is. He's a guy buddy, he's only four. Yeah, there was no moving Old four-year-old. If that makes sense, I feel it. She said I feel it.
Speaker 6:I guess, Richard's a big old four-year-old too, I guess. I don't know.
Speaker 1:I feel that too.
Speaker 2:So, liv, how do you real quick before you get back off here? So how do you deal with we're just talking about expectations and equaling out. What you expect out of others is how you treat them. Also, how do you deal with that in relationship and friendship? So I've noticed with myself, like I'll expect. You know I'll put the bar very high for others, but then I don't expect that out of myself in that same relationship and I got to get better at at meeting what I expect out of others.
Speaker 6:Yeah, that out of myself. Um, so I feel like over the over time it's kind of changed for me with expectations from other people, um, cause I used to expect they like quite a bit out of other people, for the most part of just like, oh think, like quite a bit out of other people for the most part of just like oh, you know I'm treating you this way, so you are you're going to do the same thing, like I just expected that to happen and it didn't happen, obviously, um, and a lot of different ways friendships, relationships, everything, um, and so I feel like my I've kind of like lowered my expectations of like okay, not everybody's going to think the way that I do and that's okay.
Speaker 6:Yeah, um they, they're going to have a different way of thinking, a different motive behind everything. Um, sometimes our, you know, motives match up, sometimes they don't, that's okay.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 6:Um so I try not to get, try not to allow myself to get too involved anymore. Um so, it's like you know, if, if you don't reciprocate this, it's okay, I still love you. We're probably not going to be as close.
Speaker 2:Right.
Speaker 6:But I still love you and I still respect you as a person, Like nothing's going to change that. So, it's definitely hard sometimes.
Speaker 2:Well, that's good, just understanding. Everybody's not naturally going to act and put as much, because some of us we really do. We put everything we've got into our relationship and not everybody, everybody. You know, some people are just kind of flippant with their with their relationships. So you know, when I, when I have, I want friends that are family. You know I try to, I try to friend very, very hard, you know and and I mean I've got buddies that I went to high school with that still are like family to me yeah you know.
Speaker 2:So I don't want just a like, a casual. I don't. I don't want a casual dating friendship.
Speaker 6:You know what I mean I want, I'm like I want to friend it forever. Yeah, say I feel like that's where grace comes into play, though yeah it's just like it's okay, like I don't appreciate it, but it's okay right like, we'll try.
Speaker 2:We'll try again next time yeah, and you kind of understand, like, okay, they're not gonna put that level of it. So you kind of know, okay, this is how I gauge that relationship.
Speaker 5:A wise man once said if you expect the bare minimum, you'll never be disappointed.
Speaker 3:Expectation is the bride of disappointment.
Speaker 2:Man some philosophizers over here. Just quotes. Who said them? Shoot for the moon.
Speaker 5:My here Just quotes. Who said them Shoot for the moon, I don't know my boss.
Speaker 2:My boss.
Speaker 1:A wise man. He just said a wise man.
Speaker 4:I don't know, I don't remember where I heard it from. I was talking about how Jesus, when he went to the man whose daughter was sick, asked has Jesus still heal her? And when he got there, there were some people in that room that he asked to leave and someone kind of made an analogy with that, saying like your life has different rooms and you can't let everyone occupy every room. That's good.
Speaker 4:Kind of come to the conclusion of not everyone's going to be everything and not one person is going to be the same thing that another person is. So I feel like thinking about that kind of humbles you a little bit, in that sense of extending grace, understanding. You know, michael's not going to be what Richard is to me and Richard's not going to be what Michael is. And that's okay, and that's how it should be Right. That's good yeah.
Speaker 1:I've told my kids for years people will treat you how you allow them to treat you. So if you allow somebody to treat you like you're not important, then you're not going to be.
Speaker 2:And especially as a parent, that's a hard thing to learn, that you're not going to be everything to everybody. So learning that as a parent, I like when my kids are able to go to Jamie or go to my mom or go to somebody else other than me. Like Aaliyah a lot of times will go to my mom before she talked to me just about certain things, like, oh, I'm kind of iffy about going to dad, how should I say this, how should I wear this? Or same like with my sister, angela. She'll call mom with something before she. You know, hey, I need to call mike, but I'm, you know, I'm worried about what he's gonna say and how this is gonna go. Like learning how to deal with that and for that to be okay. You know, we said in youth for a long time, while we had so many leaders, I want kids to be able to go to everybody, because you are, you're going to find something in someone that's different than someone else well, that's what's good about the three stooges across the table.
Speaker 1:Here is they. You know they're there for each other. You know, my adult. You know these three adult kids. They talk to each other all the time, you know and I don't have a clue what they talk about half the time, but as long as they've got each other's back, you know and don't have a clue what they talk about half the time but as long as they've got each other's back and don't lead each other the wrong way, that's a good thing and not being okay with this drives me nuts.
Speaker 2:Well, he's my brother, I'm going to love him, no matter what. Right, while that's true, you could still help lead them in the right direction and say, hey, you're being stupid. Right, like, stop that. You know. Being able to do that is very important because I know people. Well, I'm going to have, I'm going to have her back no matter what, but she's a hundred percent wrong. Right, like, you know she's wrong. Stop having her back and being wrong. Like that's not healthy, setting that expectation and saying, hey, you're not meeting where you should be.
Speaker 1:Well, and then you know, going back to Peaches, that's for years. That's what I did. I enabled her to be the person that she's become. I mean it's because she'd call and she'd need money and I'd be like, okay, well, that's my daughter, I'm going to take care of her.
Speaker 2:When it didn't help her at all it made it worse. Oh, come on, Come on now.
Speaker 3:That's all I had to say was all you had to add.
Speaker 4:He's that best on the side.
Speaker 3:Right, I'll say piggybacking off what Eason said, like back to the relationships and expectations within a relationship, I mean not cheating on the person in your relationship is almost like the lowest form of expectation that's kind of without saying right, that's where the bar starts Like hey, just so you didn't, in case you didn't know.
Speaker 3:I also think that as guys, we want to make our woman so happy a lot of times that we kind of provide them an avenue to have expectations for us a lot of time, which is not a bad thing at all, but it definitely does create that expectation in a sense as well.
Speaker 4:So yeah, that was. That was uh like pinpoint. A situation I had in one of my bad relationships in college was you know, I had, I guess, two jobs. I was in the military and I was working. Uh, what was I working at? I think it was red Red Lobster at the time and I had a little bit of money. You know, my parents were helping pay with college car insurance and all that, so I just had to pay for grocery stuff. She'd always expect me to buy her stuff.
Speaker 2:And.
Speaker 4:I gave into that and then finally it came to the point where I'm like I'm getting broke and I can't do and this is not helping, and that kind of just derailed everything.
Speaker 5:Oh brother, you got no idea.
Speaker 4:I've got an idea. One of my exes tried to run me over. I've got an idea. I started.
Speaker 5:I was engaged, started, got a real good job, real good, one of the biggest blessings of my life. And the whole time we were together we worked the same place at the same time, same shift, same department. Oh, that's tough, okay, listen. New job six on two off oh swing shift, not a lot of time. Well, she expected a lot of materialistic things, so that's what I gave her, because I mean, hey, I can't spend this time with you, so I'm just going to buy you stuff and then whenever I got fed up with it when I got fed up with it and I was like, hey, you know, this isn't, this isn't good, this isn't right.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 5:There she goes, my best friend.
Speaker 2:All right yeah.
Speaker 3:Also, I think that as men we need to kind of do a better job during the vetting process of relationships like especially as guys like we are very take what we can get not even I was gonna say, I didn't know if I should say this on here, but we are very sex oriented like very like that's how our minds work so like we kind of just see a woman that we think is good looking, beautiful, and that's kind of like the lowest standard yeah, it's like oh, she's very good looking.
Speaker 4:I want that, and we'll overlook a lot of yeah, exactly well, at least she's pretty, yeah, exactly so and that's why I'm like all my friends when I'm talking to them.
Speaker 3:I'm like y'all need to seriously be vetting these women out because, like, the more I've done it, the easier it is to just be like dude.
Speaker 2:You're a walking red flag yeah, like I would never talk to you, yeah, but yeah, well, it's it, and it's such a burden and it's good that we've got a a panel full of guys because it is a burden. I'm not saying all of our lady listeners, we love y'all, okay, um, but a lot of it seems that society puts a lot more expectations on to men oh 100 than they do women, okay.
Speaker 2:So not saying that that's not not something that we should do. We should be the provider, we should be the protector, absolutely. But I think we have to realize that that we've now gone so far with the gap of all. These expectations are put on men and, god forbid, you say something about you know what a woman should do or what you expect out of a woman. Yeah, you're misogynistic. I can't believe you're a jerk. I can't believe you said that. But it's like, but wait, you, you just said you want a man that makes this much, that is this tall, that does this, that does this, that does this, and he says, well, I'd like a woman to respect me or to do this. And then I can't believe you, you're just controlling it's like wait a second, like yeah, it's like, what are we doing here?
Speaker 4:time out, you know I think you know you're talking about expectations on on men. That's kind of that. I feel like that's always how it's been and honestly I it's a good thing that there's an expectation for men in this country, but when men don't always hit the mark yeah, I think that's where it gets uh kind of out of control oh, you're no longer a man. You can't, you're, you know.
Speaker 2:Just so much ridicule, because you missed the mark on one thing yeah, well, you see all these dating show shows that you know and of course there's a very specific demographic of women they have on these shows. But I'm just saying that these women would not even consider dating a man that didn't make this much right like you're automatically taking out 95 of men, imagine right off the jump like that yeah, so you gotta be six foot right, you gotta be this tall, you gotta be this, you gotta be.
Speaker 4:I mean it's, it's a list of things easy pickings so it's like me east and Easton Hunter we're out, we're out of the pool, we're out the game.
Speaker 2:So it's just like Maybe if I stand on their back Like the little rascals.
Speaker 5:Both of us will stand on Tyler's money Ball in.
Speaker 4:Also y'all will be the same size. When do I got money? When do I got money? Same size.
Speaker 2:When do I got money?
Speaker 5:yeah, so it you got that pretty blue car out there that's where all of it goes, right there tyler just out there standing on a ten dollar bill yeah
Speaker 2:I've got one nickel but yeah, and it's a good thing, like expectations are good, but it's when it's overloaded to one side where it's where it's the problem, you know. I think each side should be able to have a certain amount of expectations to equal out it's as simple as two things that'll help fix that grace and communication yeah, that's true communicating that there are expectations that I want you to meet, but grace saying it's okay if you can't always meet those yeah, as.
Speaker 4:As long as you're trying Yep, as long as those expectations are.
Speaker 3:That's why it's so important to have a godly woman.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 5:Well, man Faith has had this conversation a hundred times. I understand every day. You can't give me a hundred percent. I'm okay with giving 65 if you can only give 25. But on the other side of that, if I can only give 25% one day, I need you to give 75.
Speaker 4:That's what marriage is supposed to be. It's supposed to be 100% in, but it's not going to be that every day. That's what your partner is there for.
Speaker 1:To help make.
Speaker 4:To pick you up when you can't pick yourself up, or for you to pick them up when they can't pick yourself up, or for you to pick them up when they can't pick themselves.
Speaker 2:Like tristan said, when you get that godly relationship, those things just naturally have that's. It's amazing how god made us to work that way, to where one fails at where the other one succeeds at. So when you're, when you're in that godly relationship, on the things that you're just going to fail at because you're a guy, you're, there's things you're going to be less that the woman picks up, where the woman is going to fail at, the man picks up. It's like.
Speaker 4:So when you're in that relationship and you understand where I fit in this- yeah then it just naturally happens that way you got points I was going to say like take me and live. Me and live are kind of completely opposite people. It's very happy, cheery and very emotional and I'm not she is a tad bit emotional. A little bit. I feel like that's part of what makes us work as a married couple three years strong.
Speaker 3:Yeehaw what were you going to say I was going say, like what you're saying basically, I mean, we were made in god's image and men and women are made by god to be cohesive with one another. So like in the aspect you're saying, like where some people fail, like women fail, maybe a woman is going to be more uh prone to like gossiping or something about other women and stuff like that, and an aspect we would fail in is obviously going to be lust of the eye very quickly and I mean that can even just lead into other things.
Speaker 3:So having a godly woman or a godly man in your life to kind of pull you back into that and I love that analogy nowadays what you say about having a triangle and God at the top, and the closer y'all get to God, the closer y'all are going to be together, the closer y'all are going to be like that is so true because you're just getting closer to God. That's all you're focusing on it's not focusing on the other person. And when you focus on the other person, it just won't ever work. It really won't.
Speaker 2:No, because where they fell at now, all of a sudden it's it's this huge thing. You know, instead of going, hey, we're both, we're both trying, we're both going towards. You know, we're both putting god at the center of our life. So we're you're constantly going the same way. You're never having to look at the other one like they're opposed to you, because you're both going the same way. So it's like, hey, you fell today, that's okay, we're still going in the same direction. We we're still getting closer. And you'll find yourself, after years of of going through, that those little things don't bother you as much as they used to. They're not something that was like, oh my gosh, when you first started. It's like, oh, it drives me crazy. Now it's like that's okay, she just kind of that's how she is or that's how he is. You know, it becomes something that almost intrigues you about them.
Speaker 4:You know, I think I think what you were saying, tristan, about vetting, like the person before, is huge with any relationship too. I know it's a lot hard with family. Obviously, you can't choose your family or your immediate family, you know. But, like for me and Liv, we we didn't know Wait till however long to have those really serious conversations about do we plan to be married, do we plan to have kids, how do we plan to raise our kids and go to church and all these things. We had those conversations probably within a few weeks of us dating.
Speaker 2:No, not even a few weeks. We didn't even start dating, we were having those conversations in a few weeks.
Speaker 4:we didn't even start like we didn't even start dating.
Speaker 2:Yeah, we were having those conversations. Yeah, because those are and that's a bit and and you could see that you know, in y'all's marriage you could see that y'all had those serious conversation because y'all are on the same wavelength on a lot of those things you know. Hey, you know, of course you're going to have new things that come up and then you have to kind of figure out, but a lot of those major things y'all are pretty on on with each other, you know yeah and that and that.
Speaker 4:I think that really one that makes marriage a lot easier because, in the sense of when you know those things that you don't expect, come up you one. We're on the same page. We know what we want, where we're going, we know what we're gonna. We're able to come together and be on the same page yeah and understand how to get on the same page about something yeah, oh yeah.
Speaker 2:Well, transitioning, we're going to transition into the segment we like to call that's, what's up, that's what's up, so is something that for for those of y'all that you should be listening, you did.
Speaker 5:I ain't going to. No, I don't know, I don't know. Right, look, I'll do it.
Speaker 2:So we do it. We do a segment that's called that's what's up. It's something you're listening to, watching, maybe a TV show, a movie something that watching or listening to that you're excited about.
Speaker 1:Uh, rich, you want to start, yeah sure me and jennifer started.
Speaker 2:Uh, the rookie over started season one.
Speaker 1:Yeah well, we stopped watching it, which I thought we got farther into it. But we're in season two now and I don't remember any of it. So apparently we didn't make as far as I thought. But it's, it's such a guy, I forgot how good the show was but we stopped watching it because I'm an idiot.
Speaker 1:I'm not an idiot, but sometimes I'll see something on TV it was back when I was first saved, right and you see something and you're like I shouldn't be watching that I mean it's not going to cause you to not love God I mean, anyway, we stopped watching, but anyway we started watching that again. Man, it's such a good show.
Speaker 2:I mean, it is such a good show. What was that? Was that ABC?
Speaker 3:Yeah, Just some heartstrings going though.
Speaker 4:Yeah, really.
Speaker 3:Extremely active tear ducts on that show.
Speaker 2:How many seasons is there? It's still going, oh, okay.
Speaker 1:They're on six or seven.
Speaker 4:I think they just finished five, yeah, I think it's five, they're in the middle of five. They're in the middle of five. It's part two to five.
Speaker 2:Okay, okay.
Speaker 4:That's coming out. I think it's November, I think.
Speaker 3:Really, you watched it all so far.
Speaker 4:No Wait, yes yeah.
Speaker 2:I did Wait, yeah, yeah, yeah, I did, I did.
Speaker 4:Yeah, oh, I remember, because I watched on Hulu and they didn't post the last episode of the first part of season two or season five for however long.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 4:And then it was only probably a month ago that I finally watched it, but it's a cool show.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 4:Okay, that's funny parts yeah, okay, that's funny parts. Yeah, um man, I don't think there's a whole lot going on really did you say y'all finished?
Speaker 2:what was the one? It's kind of like oh gosh, is it the one with Shamar Moore?
Speaker 4:oh, swat, swat. Yeah, we finished that a while back. It was good. Their, their next season I think it's seven or eight coming out sometime next year, their next season, I think it's seven or eight coming out sometime next year. Heck yeah, I didn't really appreciate this last season, just because there's people coming and going.
Speaker 2:So have y'all restarted One Tree Hill, yes or no?
Speaker 4:Oh yeah, yeah, this is our time of year, not like we sit down and watch it every Thursday or whatever, but it's like, if I can't, find something else on, I'm going to put that on, yeah.
Speaker 5:We're about to restart it in November.
Speaker 6:Oh, so weird.
Speaker 1:It's a great show, but I'm just not a watcher. I can't imagine watching a show more than once.
Speaker 4:That's sad. How long does it take y'all to get through it?
Speaker 2:Not very long, because we do like multiple episodes every night. That's it.
Speaker 1:Uh, not very long because we do like multiple episodes every night. That's like our sit down eat dinner, that's our.
Speaker 2:That's what we do with the rookie, because we finish flash points, yeah, so probably all nine seasons, I'm gonna say, before january they got a lot more time to sit, so easton, what you got? Listen to watching show movie yeah I've been.
Speaker 7:Uh well, they just released the new season, but I'm about to start watching outer banks again man, I put it on my list because I remember y'all two were talking about it.
Speaker 2:Live is crazy and I haven't. I haven't watched any of it yet. Yeah I.
Speaker 4:I think you'll like it. Live loves it. I. I've watched the first season. I think I watched par season two. I just couldn't get into it.
Speaker 2:We watched just enough to get to know the little groups of the teenagers who's who, and that was it. We haven't watched it anymore. What season are they on?
Speaker 5:I finished all of it.
Speaker 7:They just dropped the third one. I've never watched anything more than once. I always forget what happens. I've got to go back than once. I always forget what happens, you know. So I had to go back.
Speaker 2:I hate doing that it takes so long and great.
Speaker 4:I got to re-watch it all.
Speaker 2:I always do that. When a new season's coming out, though, no matter what, I always go back and re-watch, and then when the new one comes out.
Speaker 7:I'll start at the beginning, though, and see what went up to that point.
Speaker 1:It's all on the same page, like getting excited again, you know okay, mike is like rain man he remembers every line from every show he's ever watched so good yeah, I forgot.
Speaker 4:I forgot cobra kai that's still going on, yeah they're, they're in the last season, the last season, still a thing okay, I'm gonna check out.
Speaker 2:I'm gonna I don't know about cobra, kai it's a.
Speaker 4:It's okay, it's, I heard it was good. What I like about it is I feel like they use an appropriate amount of nostalgia. Yeah you know like you that that 90s show?
Speaker 2:came out.
Speaker 4:That's terrible, yeah, yeah well, they got canceled, yeah, after the second.
Speaker 2:And then they and well, they canceled that and then they rebooted that 70s show with like a new generation or whatever and that just got canceled.
Speaker 4:Yeah, that's what I'm talking about, yeah no not that 90.
Speaker 2:No, they redid that 70s show the actual 70s show. Yeah like a not that 90s show.
Speaker 1:There was another, that 70s show, yeah, and it got canceled because you can't redo that 70s show when it's in the 80s, get arrested on that show.
Speaker 3:Yeah, yeah, he's in big trouble.
Speaker 2:Oh yeah, anyways yeah, but I'm gonna check out outer banks. I'll yeah, I'm gonna check it out what's the segment called.
Speaker 4:Again, that's what's that's what's up that is what's up all right anyways.
Speaker 3:Uh, for me that's what's up. Is paul washer, billy graham, other preachers. I've been watching a lot of it on youtube, just constantly consuming it I got one.
Speaker 3:You might like his name's dr ed newton dr ed newton he's from a community bible church somewhere in texas and then y'all ever heard of richard lorenzo as well that name sounds familiar. He used to be like a warlock in haiti and now he's like saved christian yeah, that sounded for him and then, aside from the yeah, those pastors I've been listening to, I'm ready for NBA to come back around.
Speaker 2:It's going to be good. We were looking up tickets last night.
Speaker 3:I mean, I've been saying this for so long, but the game has modernized so much to where every team has literally had a chance to win on any night. It's actually unreal. Besides the Pistons, obviously, they still suck.
Speaker 2:I said, they did a poll with every coach in the league and 85% thinks that the Celtics are going to win it again this year.
Speaker 4:Repeat what do you think of Bronny James so far?
Speaker 3:Preseason.
Speaker 4:Did you see his?
Speaker 2:plus minus. Have you seen his plus minus? I?
Speaker 3:mean, that's just the truth, Like minus 40 points a game. I mean the way I look at it is he just stole an opportunity from someone that probably was a lot more deserving.
Speaker 2:Agreed oh 100%.
Speaker 5:But you can't get mad at it. I can get mad at it, I'm mad. Because if you're, in a bronze position. You're going to do everything you can to get Zeke up in the league.
Speaker 2:What I get mad at is that the punishment that comes along with it. They don't do what he wants. That's where I get mad, absolutely. He wants. Yeah, that's where I get mad. Yeah, like, absolutely, try to get your kid up there and do what you can, but then don't threaten or get mad when they don't. And everybody said oh, he don't, he don't, he's done it multiple times. Any coach he disagreed with, any player he disagreed with, either got traded or got fired every single one of them. So they're probably scared to death like, okay, yes, lebron, will do what you want. That's why they call him the coach like coach LaCoach.
Speaker 4:He done said he was like my dad ain't got nothing to do with my success.
Speaker 2:Cap Shoot.
Speaker 4:You don't get to the league when you average three points in college.
Speaker 3:Right.
Speaker 4:Especially not having to go to the D-League, not from what I saw during the summer league. I saw some awful defense Highlights or the full games. Highlights Okay Full.
Speaker 3:I saw some awful highlights, or the full games highlights full games, though he really honestly like he can play good defense. But even at his size 6'3, 220 like you're going to go up against guys that are 6'8 2'9 is he really 220?
Speaker 4:I might have been giving him some he might be like 200, even.
Speaker 3:What do we look? I can't remember when the tickets were that we were looking at.
Speaker 2:I don't remember he might be like 200 even.
Speaker 3:What did we look? He's a lot bigger than me, though.
Speaker 2:I can't remember when the tickets were that we were looking at. I don't remember.
Speaker 4:November, they weren't bad. Yeah, no, not November. Hey, we got to go watch Miami.
Speaker 2:I don't know, but they weren't bad. It was like 60 bucks for like seventh or eighth row from the court.
Speaker 3:That's not bad at all. Wait, seven or eight rows?
Speaker 2:Yes, that's against the Wizards. We looked at half-court tickets 10 rows up where it's $110.
Speaker 3:That's good. That's really good. Memphis has pretty good prices sometimes and I love going there.
Speaker 4:That's the crap part because it's based on who they play. I want to go see Steph Curry, but I don't want to pay $400 for a nosebleed seat.
Speaker 3:Everybody wants to see stuff.
Speaker 4:That boy is different.
Speaker 3:I've seen a video of him making five full court, threes in a row. I watched him. You literally sold your soul.
Speaker 4:He literally made in a practice 87 corner threes in a row.
Speaker 3:I saw him make 106 moving around.
Speaker 2:It becomes. I mean think about it Ten hours a day every single day.
Speaker 4:Yeah, it becomes just muscle memory. You might start getting good and just natural.
Speaker 2:I mean, you see, I watch these videos of people like really good at their jobs and they're just doing it just it's just natural to them and they're just like camera up while I'm working, I mean there's just. There's one dude, he's sitting there talking and he's like working on the thing and he's just doing it and it just becomes so much Because I mean I can't imagine how many shots they shoot every single day.
Speaker 3:Right. So it's like yeah, after a while, when I was in high school, I shot a lot and that's their actual job. Yeah, Imagine, yeah.
Speaker 4:Yeah, and there's going to be a certain mentality shift when it's no longer just you know you're playing a sport, now it's. This is my livelihood.
Speaker 3:Yeah, like if you don't perform unless you're Bronny if you don't perform, then you're going to be gone.
Speaker 2:Yeah, it's like my kids depend on this. I got to go now. I got to be good at this.
Speaker 4:Think about Nathan Scott trying to make it back up through a, not the minor league D-League D-League yep.
Speaker 2:Oh yeah.
Speaker 1:You want to make our listeners think you're talking about a real player.
Speaker 2:Nathan Scott is a real player. You bite your tongue. I have his jersey.
Speaker 1:I don't know what you got.
Speaker 5:Y'all are going to make fun of me, but I just re-watched Vampire Diaries Come on.
