Aunt Kitty (w/ SamCat & Dre)
Hit it. We are back in the booth and I'm Sean booth and thank you guys for tuning in. Wherever you're listening from, maybe you are listening from Georgetown, washington. That's close to DC. That's where we'll be this weekend.

Grand Rapids, michigan. I lived close to Grand Rapids back in the day, not anymore. Love, michigan.
Speaker 1:We appreciate you guys for tuning in, and this episode is brought to you by Knocked Up. That's right, knocked Up is the newest clothing line for the moms, the dads and, most importantly, the babies. This is actually a local brand here in Nashville, tennessee, that was created by a couple that wanted to spend more time at home with their newborn. I get that. This is a clothing line that celebrates the beauty of parenthood while keeping you stylish, because Knocked Up believes that becoming a parent should never mean sacrificing your personal style. Their newest line consists of trendy sweatshirts, t-shirts, onesies, hats and more. Head to their website at getknockedupcom that's getknockedupcom to check everything out. Hashtag, ad hashtag. Here we go. And speaking of Knocked Up, to my left, well, first off, she is wearing Easy buddy.
Speaker 1:I don't know, let's start that intro over she is not Knocked Up, but she is wearing a whole a jean with a hole, a big old hole.
Speaker 2:What is that to do with getting knocked up?
Speaker 1:Hey, well, you know we're talking holes, okay, and then we've got some white chucks. Those are converse with the kids at home. Do kids wear converse now? Samcat, probably not. They'll come back in a couple years. And then she also has a sweatshirt that says Not another pipe dream. This is actually our mutual friends. Okay, yeah, this is our buddies.
Speaker 2:AJ, AJ, yeah. So shout out to AJ, shout out to Not Another Pipe Dream. This is my sweatshirt from their line.
Speaker 1:And the best accessory that Samcat has right now.
Speaker 3:I just dropped the binky.
Speaker 1:In her hand is my son, locks Booth. He is back in the building, he is alert and Samcat just dropped his passy. This is a madhouse and she dropped it again. That's a second fumble.
Speaker 2:We're money to sanitize that there is a hair on it.
Speaker 3:I'm not putting this back in his mouth.
Speaker 2:Usually I just stick it in my mouth and stick it in. This is the most chaotic entrance in intro we've had in a while.
Speaker 1:Ladies and gentlemen, welcome Auntie Cats.
Speaker 2:Ooh, I like that dude Wait.
Speaker 1:And across the way we got the mom she's actually wearing that's from Knocked Up right there. Is that your favorite piece? That? Hat my favorite piece If you are not watching on YouTube. It says Boy Mom with Knocked Up on the Back and that is her. That is she. She is the boy mom and she is Audrey Joseph Wow full name. Here we go. Yeah, that was chaotic, auntie Cat, that was very chaotic.
Speaker 2:I'm sorry. It reminded me last week when Jerry and I were talking about what do you think Locks is going to call me? Oh yeah, because my name is not Samcat, even though people I feel like people think my name is Samantha, catherine or something, and you just call me Samcat, because people only refer to me as Samcat, as if it's a real name. And so I know you and I know that you're going to tell Locks that I am Samcat, but I just feel like you're not going to stop there. No, and then you know how kids kind of like change names, as is Like it's hard for them to pronounce things when they're young. So I'm just very intrigued to hear what your son will call me Aunt Kitty.
Speaker 2:No, Aunt Kitty is off the table. I'm pushing it. That is absolutely not acceptable. Aunt Kitty isn't that cool. Drey brought that up last week and I was like, no, no, no.
Speaker 1:That's kind of cute, aunt Kitty.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 3:Aunt Kitty, guys, I'm saying no.
Speaker 2:And then I'll shorten it to Kiki I'm Kiki. I'll take Like literally Kitty. I feel like Aunt Shishi.
Speaker 3:Because, like Sam, that's what people.
Speaker 1:Sure Shishi. Where does Shishi come from you?
Speaker 3:know how kids, when they like say names, they can't say it to like Simmy or something and it turns into like something else and it turns into a completely different word, and I will accept all of them.
Speaker 2:Listen, if Locks on his own accord calls me Aunt Kitty, aunt Kitty, I will accept it, but if I find out that has anything to do with you, I will end. You Do not wink at me ever again. No, it's got to be organic, but I do think it's funny.
Speaker 1:Well, I think the first word out of his mouth is going to be his name, because that's all I've been saying him the past week and if you watch my video on Instagram, he actually said boo-thirty. He was trying, he was looking at my lips and he said ooh, when I was saying it.
Speaker 3:I thought that that was crazy. Yeah, everybody says he's so advanced. My mom looks up at his milestone every day.
Speaker 1:Every parent ever says that their kid is so advanced. I'm like I remember when I didn't, we didn't have a kid yet. And then there's other parents here that like I know that a lot of kids are really smart, but our baby's like really smart, so I don't want to be that parent, be like he's really really smart, but at home we're definitely like, oh yeah, he's way smarter than the other ones.
Speaker 2:Here's the thing I'll give you. He's very alert. He's much more alert and like, engaged than a lot of babies that I've interacted with that are the same age as him.
Speaker 1:Yeah, since day one.
Speaker 2:Yes, he will look at you and he like follows you and I feel like he is just like advanced in recognition or something like that.
Speaker 3:I mean in the hospital. He was wide eyed and like staring at Sean so intently.
Speaker 1:Yeah, and he's very judgy too.
Speaker 2:He's always got like a squinty eyes, you mean when he raises his one eyebrow and stares at you like what the fuck? I wonder where he got that look from boo.
Speaker 1:Hey, hey, that's not swearing from the kid huh. Oh, sorry, it's okay, it's okay and kitty, we had a conversation right before we started this podcast and I was trying to say that the reason that he's here is because I had power sperm at the moment.
Speaker 2:Jeez, no. Are we really going to talk about this again?
Speaker 1:No.
Speaker 2:Oh, okay.
Speaker 1:Next topic.
Speaker 2:Sean is convinced and he has told me the story.
Speaker 2:I don't know if he remembers that he's told me the story on multiple occasions He'll tell anybody who was it, or he's just told so many people he can't keep track of who he has told and who he has not, but he will tell you that when Locke's was made, he was the healthiest he's ever been. I wasn't drinking, I was eating healthy. I had like super sperm, and that's how I made the baby. And you wear it like a badge of honor and then apparently have some sort of like memory loss within the week that I don't see you and I come back and then you feel the need to tell me about your sperm again and it's like, bro, I get it. I know how babies are made. Thank you so much. And that's also not what happened. Well, and there you go. See, I don't know the tea behind the scenes, I just know the basics that I learned in health class, so like I got it.
Speaker 1:Well, because we were saying that you saw somebody on TV who doesn't understand the basics of pregnancy.
Speaker 2:Correct. I was speaking about how I got absolutely swindled into love is blind and there's a couple on there that just really a lot of red flags and they're just complete lack or not not. There, his, I felt like complete lack of understanding of just the reproductive system and like I mean you're getting your pregnant off birth control.
Speaker 2:I'm gonna kind of get a? Yes, I understand that, but some of the things he said I'm like that's just like scientifically incorrect and it just made me like sad. I know, but he should still know, right, or am I just?
Speaker 3:saying that? What was he saying? He was saying that he says, like I just like don't understand. Every other girl I've ever been with has been on birth control and saying that that's why he like didn't want to have sex.
Speaker 1:That's why are we knocking that.
Speaker 3:Well.
Speaker 2:I'm not knocking it at all Also things like a condom. Yeah, I'm not knocking him at all. I'm just confused. What he was saying was like a little bit of a red flag that I was like wow, I just don't think this man child. He's like 25, he's still kind of young, but old enough to know that there, you can't get pregnant every time you have sex Like you can't.
Speaker 1:But you can get pregnant Sure If she's not on birth control. Absolutely, and that is a huge risk.
Speaker 2:I'm not knocking him and I'm not saying that's not also correct, but it is harder than you think.
Speaker 1:Yes.
Speaker 3:Okay.
Speaker 1:Oh sorry, he doesn't have super spurs.
Speaker 3:How long ago did we have sex before he was here?
Speaker 1:Yeah, don't know that answer.
Speaker 2:Do you know the answer?
Speaker 1:So, anyways, he's being safe. He's actually being a responsible adult. No, he's just trying to gaslight her into getting number two. He doesn't like that. I said the word gaslight. Sure Wait.
Speaker 3:Timmy. Is that the thing that he doesn't want to have sex? I heard fantastic season of Love is Blind, by the way.
Speaker 2:I mean it is full of tea. I'll tell you that it's just like a train wreck. You can't not watch it and I get it.
Speaker 3:I feel the same way as everybody else who's tuning in on Netflix, but the girl that says you are going to choke when you see what you miss out on. You will need an epi-pin to open your airways. You will need an epi-pin to open your airways. She's not wrong.
Speaker 2:She is hot. She is hot, but like damn that's. I mean ruthless.
Speaker 3:Literally not the point of the show.
Speaker 2:But guess what it turns out? Seems like she was right. Oh big yawn.
Speaker 1:Well, there you have it. Love is Blind. Check it out.
Speaker 2:Is that an advertisement for Love is Blind, have you watched it.
Speaker 1:I haven't watched it.
Speaker 2:I do have to say Love is Blind is my only like reality TV show I watch in general.
Speaker 1:Yeah, so they sit across from each other at the wall? Yeah, and how long?
Speaker 2:are they there for? The whole process is four weeks, so I think you're behind the wall for a week and then you go on a honeymoon.
Speaker 1:Some people get engaged in like three days.
Speaker 2:Yeah, yeah, you go on a honeymoon for a week, then you live together in your hometown for a week.
Speaker 3:Yeah, all the people that are on the show are from the same town.
Speaker 2:Yeah, and then you do something else that's for a week, and then you get married or you don't.
Speaker 1:So when you talk across the wall, you're there for like a few hours or something, yeah, and then they send you back.
Speaker 2:Yeah, you can kind of like you know the first day there's, say, 20 contestants and you're just like speed dating, but without seeing them. So then you kind of narrow down your list from there and then you know, towards the end of the week you hope that you found someone you connect with and you go on repeated dates with them, or you can just dedicate literally the whole day to sitting there and chatting with them, as long as you see fit. They bring in sushi, they bring in drinks, they bring in stuff that, like you can do quote unquote together, but there's a wall in between you. So it's ultimately just testing, like can you fall in love with someone without seeing them because you fall in love with what matters most? And then, if you get engaged, you're allowed to meet in person.
Speaker 1:Only if you get engaged.
Speaker 2:Only if you get engaged and then they stand across a hallway from one another with like retractable doors, and then the doors open up and you're standing across this like hallway of the person that you're engaged to and you I mean some, run, some, walk, some, some is just like the most organic, lovely first meeting, like immediate passionate kisses, like wow, you look so great, you're better than what I imagined. I'm so happy to put the face of the name. And then other ones are like oh my God, because immediately you can tell like, oh fuck, they are not attracted to one another, or one's not attracted and the other one is, and it's just, it makes for good cringy TV. Because you're just like I want this moment to be over with, but I also just like I'm really reveling in the fact that this is so awkward. But then they go.
Speaker 1:How do they get engaged? They propose Like no, he gets on a knee. Yes, In one room by himself and proposes to a wall.
Speaker 3:Proposes a wall yes. And you see like the shadow.
Speaker 2:No, you can't see anything. And so some people try and cheat the system where they're like you know this big controversy with this season which, if you've been on the internet at all, you've heard that the girl referred to herself as Megan Fox and people are absolutely annihilating her but then also supporting her. And I'm going on the record to say, listen, do I think that she looks exactly like Megan Fox? No, but do I see how she would have gotten that? Absolutely. And if you don't see that, then you have not looked at her eyes and her hair and like certain angles. Sure, and that's where it stops. And the poor girl, though like I'm sure she was just trying to be flirty, she's like I have dark hair and light eyes, and the internet, as you know, is a cruel space and people have just absolutely drug her through the mud because I mean, yeah, ultimately she doesn't really look like Megan Fox, but she looks similar enough to be like I don't know, an old lady on a plane could say that to you.
Speaker 1:Yeah, we're getting her to come on in the booth.
Speaker 2:Oh, okay, cool.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:I can't wait I have so many questions for her.
Speaker 3:The first question is what do you mean? Is the girl that I mean and the girl that he was talking to, two girls and one said she looked like Megan Fox, and the other one, when he told her you know, I don't, I'm sorry. Like I have a stronger connection with someone else, she was like you're going to choke when you see what you miss out on because that girl is.
Speaker 2:That girl relies on her looks, but guess what? She's hot as fuck, yeah, but you can tell. I do have to say this is my own interpretation of the situation, but I think part of the reason. Her name is Jessica. She's a very, very, very, very beautiful one. She looks like every girl you see at Tin Roof, with 22-inch extensions, lip filler and like absolutely no pores on her face. Good for her. However, I think that she was a little perturbed that he chose the other girl over her, because she's not used to boys being like no, I'm going to take this girl over you. She's like used to being the most beautiful one in the room. I feel like she was like offended by that.
Speaker 1:We just talked about this. Girls take rejection harder than guys, that's not true. Prime example hot girl syndrome.
Speaker 2:Oh, I think she is hot girl syndrome.
Speaker 1:But I don't know her personality.
Speaker 3:Which one, the Megan Fox girl or Jess?
Speaker 1:No, the hot girl syndrome one.
Speaker 2:I don't know. Her name is Jessica. I mean, I'm just, I am just guessing. I don't know her personality. She could be the nicest person ever.
Speaker 3:I think the craziest part of the whole show is when they go on the honeymoon and then some people get to see, because if a person you were also talking to got engaged to somebody else, you all go on a honeymoon together. So then you see all these people that you've been talking to for a week.
Speaker 1:Is that her?
Speaker 3:Yes, that's her.
Speaker 2:Beautiful, but yes, I think that's insane. That then say you had like a really strong connection and like came down to the last day. Then you go on a honeymoon with your now fiance, but then you walk in and maybe someone that you had a connection with is you're way more attracted to them. That's got to be awkward sauce, but it also makes great TV. It's so bad for my brain and my mental health, but I love it. Maybe Sean will actually watch a show. Listen, they had casting in Nashville, and they emailed me and asked me if I would audition for that, sammy. That was a long time ago though, so I don't know if they've already done that or not, but I said no, thank you.
Speaker 1:I like a T-Mail address.
Speaker 2:Because I have it in like a casting thing from another thing that I was in.
Speaker 1:Interesting. Anyways what do you think Locke's? He's just sitting there like huh.
Speaker 2:Just popping out of lengthy Also, just like staring at the lights. I feel like very intrigued by the lights here, yeah.
Speaker 1:He's looking over here, but he had a rough day yesterday. He was, I mean he threw up all over me for the first time. He's only thrown up three times now, which is wild Damn. But he was like.
Speaker 2:I think I've thrown up three times since he was born too.
Speaker 3:Sean called me in a panic because he'd been crying for a couple of minutes.
Speaker 1:Well, cause he never cries unless he's like hungry. And she said that she had just fed him, like a half hour ago, and he would not Like he was screaming, screaming, screaming. And then I fed him again and clearly he didn't need to eat, cause he just threw it up all over me.
Speaker 2:He said too much dad.
Speaker 1:Yeah, and then he was fine, though, and he was just like all right, I'm all better now.
Speaker 3:We're just really not used to him ever being upset.
Speaker 2:I mean, I feel like that's scary, because they can't communicate with you. So you're like I checked off all of the things that I know could be bothering you, and you're still crying, so now I don't know what to do. I wasn't there. Uh-oh, that's okay, loxy B, you made it. I think he's gonna fall asleep.
Speaker 1:Yeah, he does. He likes to sleep, he's not had a proper nap today.
Speaker 3:So he's only had a contact nap today, which didn't last as long as his usual nap.
Speaker 2:So well, he's about to have another contact. Nap baby, that's fine.
Speaker 1:The worst part about him throwing up all over himself is having to change him, and I've said it before that I hate putting on pants on Lox because he's just so squirmy that I never really do. If it's just me at the house, I'll just put on his. Like onesie Drake came home and was like why doesn't he have pants on? I was like you know why he doesn't have pants on.
Speaker 3:He'll bring him out and about and I'll like take the blanket off his shoulder. No pants, he never puts pants on. I'm like just put his pants on. He's cold, not for long.
Speaker 1:Well, he doesn't need pants any longer, because it is getting nicer out.
Speaker 2:But do you believe that it's actually getting nicer? Do you think this is just like our first whiff of spring?
Speaker 1:I think it's the first whiff of spring and we've obviously lived here for a while. There's so many false, fake seasons that come through Nashville, but I do think it's on the turn and March 21st is officially the first day of spring, right, because that's my sister's birthday and I believe that is the first day of spring. So we're still a few weeks away, but let's do a final. Four favorite things about the spring. Season Can be anything you want.
Speaker 3:Kick it off with Dre, number four Number four I just feel like it always inspires people to reset, to get rid of stuff, to purge, to make new. It just like really fires people up. I feel like people have this high right when the new year starts and they kind of get into a lull again when the weather gets really cold and then spring is another like amp up and then you purge a bunch of things.
Speaker 1:So we got spring cleaning number four.
Speaker 2:That was literally mine and I almost verbatim my exact train of thought is that every time I take my Christmas decorations down, I rearrange my furniture because it feels so naked when you take all the Christmas decor down and it's like a fresh start in January, sure, but it feels kind of lonely. I'm like, okay, there's no cheer in here. So then it feels kind of fresh and rejuvenated for like a couple of weeks and then you don't see the sun for a month and you're just like surviving in February, in the beginning of March, and then spring cleaning hits, when you can pop open those windows that have been closed for the past six months or whatever it's been, and first of all dust everything, and then you can't stop sneezing. But just I feel I am a better human in society. I am a better person when I feel organized and like on top of my game, and nothing makes me feel better than just like having an organized house.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:Donating clothes I don't wear, cleaning out like random cups that you've collected, Just it doesn't matter how small or how big it just like makes me a better person. It's definitely my top four.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I can see that, Are you very?
Speaker 2:passionate about organization and cleanliness in general. Are you like a?
Speaker 3:hoarder, do you hold on to things? No Are you, I am a perjurer.
Speaker 2:I well, here's the thing If you have ever written me something handwritten, I have saved it. Okay, that's different. I have every card, every post-it note, every anything that I've ever been given in a box by my bed that I keep. But other than that, I am like the less the better. I'm actually kind of like maybe a little too the opposite way. Me too, I should hang on to things a little longer.
Speaker 1:Oh, I'm the opposite. I hang on too long. I don't purge, all right. Well then, my four. I'll go with some low hanging fruit here, from the tree, which is the trees, and just the turning of the foliage, the greens, and everything starts drying up. I feel like right now it's from the snow rain. Everything's all wet and there's no leaves on the trees, and that adds to the pressing part. But once the flowers start coming back, the leaves start changing, the grass starts growing in.
Speaker 2:you're like all right, yeah, this feels good. Okay, but let me ask you this Do you have allergies?
Speaker 1:Not too bad, I don't think.
Speaker 2:Like. As much as I want to agree with you as someone who suffers I mean, I never had allergies until I moved to Nashville the second week of March you cannot catch me with my eyes open because they're so swollen shut and I can't stop sneezing. As much as I love the look of what you're saying.
Speaker 1:You don't love the feel.
Speaker 2:I don't love the feel. I you know I tend to like to breathe. It's just something that I've always liked and maybe we get you on some Claritin or Zyrtec.
Speaker 1:Number three Dre.
Speaker 3:I will say that I do like about spring and this is going to be a little bit controversial. I also feel like it's the one time where there's not a huge season of sports, or and I could be wrong it may not be sports that I watch, but there's not a huge season of sports on. So people kind of dive into different things. I feel like people read more, people maybe watch more reality TV, yeah, but there's nothing that it's like for a lot of the year. People watch, you know, falls like all football, even into like the winter and you know, but it's March, madness also starts in.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I'm going to. I'm going to debunk that in my top three here We'll wait till we get there. But Dre is saying the lack of sports on TV.
Speaker 2:I like it For number three, there is a break.
Speaker 1:Okay, samcat Number three.
Speaker 2:My number three is very simple and it's. I believe one word, and that's sun dresses. Yeah so you get to bring out the sun dresses. I just feel like nothing brings me more joy than sitting on a patio on a sun dress, like with the sun out in spring is the first of the year that you get to do that.
Speaker 1:And your cowboy boots with the cowboy hat, going down Broadway.
Speaker 2:Okay, I personally do not do that. However, I fully encourage people to do so, but I just love sun dresses. It looks like you tried, but you didn't. That's the best part about them.
Speaker 1:And you got to wear sneakers with sun dresses. Now is the move.
Speaker 3:Oh, I don't know, I don't know, you two, uh, grandma and grandpa over there. I don't want to comment because I might seem like a little Gen Z, but I love the sneakers and sun dresses.
Speaker 1:She's got beef with us for the last episode yeah, why? Because she is. She is Gen Z.
Speaker 2:She is not. No, you're not, I'm not born in 93. She is way not. It doesn't matter when she's born the way she is.
Speaker 3:She is a Gen Zer. Yeah, okay, I'm sorry that you act like a boomer.
Speaker 2:Okay, but you also did bring up no show stocks after I had already pitched about that.
Speaker 1:It's like I don't care, I don't care. It feels like you care?
Speaker 2:I don't care.
Speaker 3:I just think that on every single person that has ever worn a sock, that a little high sock, she brought home Sambas last week. And that means you know I'm never a lot. If I bring them anything or I wear anything, it's like you're so trendy, you're so this, you're so that that's my original thought.
Speaker 1:She's like check out these Sambas. You know what Sambas wore Indoor soccer shoes that we all wore for indoor soccer in the 90s. She can't wear them now, no, now it's a trend is wearing Sambas.
Speaker 2:Okay.
Speaker 1:And I'm like listen, I don't.
Speaker 2:I don't know if it will make you feel better or worse, but he does the same shit to me. Every time I say something, he's like oh you like buckies, so trendy. Oh you like Trader.
Speaker 3:Joe's so basic and I'm like, okay, sorry, that's everything to do. I'm like you're just so.
Speaker 2:Like he's the most like unique man on the planet.
Speaker 1:This blonde guy who won on reality television.
Speaker 2:It lives in Nashville, Tennessee. Oh yeah, I just sell them too.
Speaker 3:I wait when girls Cause, like you think I'm going to be like pick me, like I'm not like the other girls.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I don't wear that stuff.
Speaker 3:No I, it's a trend for reason. I like it and I'm going to buy them.
Speaker 1:No, but she is the classic. She comes home with the clunky is ugly of sneakers, dino stompers.
Speaker 3:I don't come home with dino stompers. I don't think I'm sorry that I thought that I discovered that low waste of jeans. Look better on me.
Speaker 2:Okay, first of all, that is criminal straight to jail. Absolutely no parole. Jail, no, no no I will never, that's just me. Sure, you can wear them, but I don't want them to become a trend. No.
Speaker 3:I mean.
Speaker 2:I won't follow that trend.
Speaker 3:You know what I tell Sean. I'm like best part about my shoes is that you don't have to wear them.
Speaker 2:You know what? Absolutely, and that's how I feel about my fucking socks, dre you are not wearing.
Speaker 3:Leggings with no show socks.
Speaker 2:I am at the gym.
Speaker 3:No, you're not.
Speaker 2:Okay.
Speaker 1:How do you like these shoes? These are race shoes.
Speaker 2:Sorry, were we not talking about you for 10 seconds. You have to go back to it.
Speaker 1:You were literally talking about shoes.
Speaker 3:What do you think of those? Talk about dino stompers.
Speaker 2:Are you joking? Yeah, that is very, very rich with you to like knock Dre's clunky shoes when you are wearing something that resembles like the Jetsons would have like implemented into their race shoes, though it's for performance. Are you performing right now? Oh yeah, for your iron sperm. Cool, yeah, that's right Also.
Speaker 3:but you know, when he's getting dressed, who does he ask does this look good? Because the man can't see color.
Speaker 1:I can see color.
Speaker 2:He can't. Do you know that about it? What color are your shoes?
Speaker 1:That's red and white and black on the bottom.
Speaker 2:Oh, the three colors of your gym. How cute there we go. Listen, if you can only have three colors in your wardrobe, then you can't mismatch, because it's all the same colors.
Speaker 3:I'm 93. I'm not Gen Z, and just because I wear low waisted jeans and shoes that have a little bit of a heel and Sombas, by the way, don't so it's, I can't win.
Speaker 1:My number three is baseball's back.
Speaker 3:Hell yeah, the exact opposite of Dre. I was actually wrong about the sports my brother played professional baseball.
Speaker 1:Your brother played professional baseball.
Speaker 3:Still don't know that.
Speaker 1:Yeah, whoops and baseball. It's the spring Now. There's nothing better than just throwing on a game in the background when you're in the house, and just the noise if you want to take a nap. You got the windows open. You got baseball playing in the background. The white socks are back. It's nice outside a little breeze. That's my number three, so all right.
Speaker 2:My favorite part about baseball is the hot dogs with onions, and not that I don't dislike I like. I enjoy going to a baseball game and everything but like a giant beer and a hot dog with onions outside in the beach, you gotta have the onions. What's up, you gotta have the onions. Oh yes, that absolutely just nails it. The socks is staring at my soul. It's making me very nervous.
Speaker 1:Number two, on the couch.
Speaker 3:Well, I'm going to copy Sammy. Then I love the clothes. I love spring clothes. I love that it's not just, it's not enough to go short weather like summer. I love being comfortable outside in a pair of jeans. I love it. I'm a jeans girl, so I love the spring because you can go outside and it's not too hot.
Speaker 1:You can wear a pair of jeans. I get that Because you like wearing jeans. I like wearing jeans in the summertime but it gets hot, but I feel like we're in jeans, but I like to wear jeans and not like a big old sweater like in the winter.
Speaker 3:I like to be nice and comfortable outside in a pair of jeans. I'm a jeans girl.
Speaker 1:Okay, she's a jeans girl and the girl with a whole the size of a basketball in her jeans Sam Cat number two.
Speaker 2:Oh, locke, do you want to add to the conversation? You're very vocal right now. Okay, pure silence. I understand that my number two for my favorite things in spring is going to be super cliche and kind of nostalgic in a way, because I'm old now. But that is good old spring break, baby Number two. Because you know what? It's not number one, but it is like I just remember the I don't know like the grind through the winter, through school, when you thought that things were difficult and you thought that you had a lot of responsibilities. But just like the absolute, I don't know, it's like the light at the end of the tunnel was spring break, like you were almost to summer break and it's just like the perfect break.
Speaker 2:I know teachers love it. I'm not sure if parents love it, because you know the kids come home, but like we used to go to CS to keep beach and it was just like so fun to be with my friends and their families and just on the beach all day. Those like post beach naps and again, it's your first time seeing the sun in six months. So, like an initial sunburn, there's just something that feels really good about that.
Speaker 1:Spring break baby. Spring break baby.
Speaker 3:So Locke's you're never, ever ever going on a destined spring break rager.
Speaker 1:His dad went to Cancun and called us for spring break.
Speaker 2:How'd that go, tell us a story about that. Tell your son, look at him right now and tell him about.
Speaker 1:Cancun Locke's.
Speaker 3:One day we'll talk about it, but no, do not poison his brain with your activities.
Speaker 1:Number two over here I'm going to go with to piggyback off of Samcat. It's almost summer. That's what the feeling of spring is. We're almost there. It's obviously the weather's getting nicer, but you're just on the cusp of summer and just that feeling puts it in my top four.
Speaker 2:I respect it. It is an indescribable feeling and I think again, sean's probably gonna call me basic and that's okay, cause I like being basic. But I feel like every time the seasons change, I'm like, oh, this is my favorite season. Like fall, I love fall and it's so crisp and lovely. And like winter I love when it snows. It's so pretty. I love Christmas, but then when you can pop the windows open and it's spring, it's like, oh, nevermind, spring is so lovely. And then we get to summer and I'm roasting on a boat and I'm like how could life get any better?
Speaker 2:And then fall, rolls around. So I understand it's almost like spring is anticipation.
Speaker 1:Yeah, and I am the same way, so maybe I'm basic. I always say this that the number one thing I miss about living in Connecticut is the seasons.
Speaker 1:And if you're in New England right now. I'm jealous of you because Nashville's great and all it's got seasons, but it's like scaled down big time. It's like it's gonna be cold, but it's not that cold. There's not a lot of snow, Summer's really hot, but it's super humid. Right, Spring is kind of just like a blip, right, there's not much to it and fall you don't get the foliage and the weather like you do up in New England.
Speaker 2:New Hampshire has the best. What Tennessee are either of you living in? Well, no, no. No, we're not saying it doesn't happen, we're just saying it's a muted compared to like the Northeast.
Speaker 3:I am obsessed, I think that the seasons are perfect.
Speaker 1:I've known you for five years.
Speaker 2:I'm not a Texas girl. You always say that my parents live in Texas. No, but like New Hampshire, my cousin graduated from.
Speaker 3:University of New.
Speaker 2:Hampshire.
Speaker 1:Yes, UNH, baby.
Speaker 2:Yeah, graduated from there. My family lived in Boston. My mother is from Hyannis. Those are the best foliage trees Northern Michigan. I went to college in Michigan Booth, northern Michigan. You're like knocking my ability to identify leaves yeah, I'm gonna say this right now.
Speaker 1:Actually, I think spring's the worst season out of all. Four Piece of cake, spring sucks.
Speaker 3:What I could have disappeared.
Speaker 1:Spring's the worst.
Speaker 3:I'm just gonna say from someone coming where there is two seasons and basically just one is summer, and then a blip of winter and then right back to summer, I think Tennessee seasons are perfect. I don't want a lot of snow, because I didn't grow up in a lot of snow, but it snows just enough to where I get the taste of it.
Speaker 3:Yes, yeah, I get that, and then summer's great and it's long, and then the fall is unbelievably stunning. It's perfect. And then we're back into a winter where I get a little bit of snow and then, guess what, I get a spring. So I love it.
Speaker 1:This is goes to the conversation we have before the show. This is why I don't like spring, because I'm an all or nothing guy. Sure, spring's in the middle, like, give me. If I want winter, I want all the snow, you know.
Speaker 2:Oops, sorry, you want snow. Like you can't get out of your house, you have to dig it for 25 hours.
Speaker 1:Yes, Like I want to put on my overalls, my jacket my hat my gloves and dig my way out of the house to go ride around in the snow and the ice. If I'm having a piece of pizza, I'm gonna have 20 pieces of pizza. It's just all or nothing.
Speaker 2:It's all an addiction. I don't know Some nice safe beers when I drink.
Speaker 1:If I'm gonna have one beer, I'm like, fuck it, I'm gonna have 15 beers. I'm already having one. Why not just completely just throw away the day? Now, you know.
Speaker 3:Okay, if he's gonna have one baby, let's have 10. Lutzi did you hear that You're gonna have 10 brothers.
Speaker 1:Oh yeah, exactly. So yeah, spring's the worst. Next number one, here we go.
Speaker 3:I just really have nothing really good to say about spring besides the fact that this is my son's first spring and I'm really, really excited.
Speaker 2:Oh, that was cute, oh that was cute.
Speaker 3:That was a good little Baby clothes in the spring, fantastic oh.
Speaker 2:I can't wait to see his chunky little rolls Baby boy clothes in the spring.
Speaker 3:Yeah, we're talking about you, oh yeah now that he's getting a little chunkier, Sean's all of a sudden starting to agree that he looks like me.
Speaker 1:First of all, you are twisting his words, because I know this exact story.
Speaker 2:I feel like I'm playing marital counsel here.
Speaker 1:Twisting my words is the number one thing she does.
Speaker 2:Number one for spring is twisting words, but I know exactly where he said is that when Locke's came out, he had string beans for legs and everybody was like, oh, those are Sean's legs, not string beans, but whatever, because he has very thin thighs. My thighs are smaller Then once he started getting thick thighs because those babies be saving lives. Sean made a sarcastic comment, which he is still paying for, by the way, saying oh, maybe he doesn't have my thighs at all.
Speaker 3:That's all I said. She wanted to know that. He said it again last night when I was putting him in the shower with him. He was like look at those chunky chunky legs and he goes like this look at those chunky chunky legs.
Speaker 2:Because now he knows it gets under your skin. Have you met the man? He's going to ride that train to have another one?
Speaker 1:Yeah, exactly it turns for me. All I said is maybe he doesn't have my legs.
Speaker 2:And then Dre automatically took that and said oh so they're my legs, yeah now that he's chunky, he looks just like me.
Speaker 1:Who else is? Are they going to be yours?
Speaker 2:There could be plenty of genetics in play. Do you know how many ancestors?
Speaker 3:you all have you know what Sammy Thank you, Sam I appreciate it.
Speaker 2:I have his back when it's necessary, and I have your back when it's necessary.
Speaker 1:That was nice.
Speaker 2:And I think Thank you.
Speaker 1:That was perfectly said. Twisting of the words.
Speaker 3:I do not twist your words, me saying he doesn't have my legs immediately must have meant Like this went on his face last night.
Speaker 2:He's like no, there you go, and Dre you know that, he knows that it irks you. No, it's fine, it's fine. You know what?
Speaker 3:Everyone says that he looks just like me. So you know what? You can just deal with that for the rest of the episode.
Speaker 1:Except for you this morning, literally saying hi.
Speaker 3:Well, that's me. Everyone else says he looks just like me, so why don't you deal with that for the rest of your life?
Speaker 1:I hope he looks like you. Be a beautiful baby.
Speaker 2:He has a.
Speaker 1:What I'm saying. I'm just sitting back right now because I'm just like enjoy it now.
Speaker 2:Enjoy what now. Enjoy it. You're gonna think he looks like you. This is what he tells me. Oh yeah.
Speaker 1:Because he's gonna be a mommy's boy right now, which is awesome and he needs to be, but I'm just like hey, enjoy it now.
Speaker 2:Okay. But here's the thing, Dre, is that once he becomes a boy and a man, you know you want him to like, kind of favor, his father. Have you ever met someone that looks exactly like their like opposite sex parents, Kind of creepy Like? I had a teammate once that looked exactly like her father and it was very stressful.
Speaker 3:Now he's saying enjoy it now locks his attachment to me and that one day he's not gonna love me as much, he's gonna love Sean more. I didn't say.
Speaker 2:Okay, did he say that, Dre, or did you hear that?
Speaker 1:I heard it. Yeah, exactly, you heard that, yeah, okay.
Speaker 2:Did he say it or did you hear?
Speaker 1:it.
Speaker 2:I'm sensitive right now. That's okay. We're allowed to be sensitive Listen the hormones he does not.
Speaker 3:He never understands that like hormones are a thing. One time I was like eight months pregnant. I was crying. I was like you don't understand, I'm pregnant. He was like pregnant or not. You act like this all the time.
Speaker 1:Exactly yeah.
Speaker 2:Hormones just heighten what's already inside you Don't use hormones as an excuse.
Speaker 1:Are you listening to me? But I understand them. But yeah, my point is is like, yeah, of course he's gonna start becoming more attached to me when he starts walking around and we start playing things. When Sean has been in the driveway, pushing the tire up and down sled pushes only 36 more days until hydroxy cut.
Speaker 2:Whatever, the fuck, whatever it's called that you're playing in this weekend.
Speaker 1:Hydroxy cut is a supplement. Sure, but high rocks, you're close.
Speaker 2:You knew what I meant, so that's close enough.
Speaker 1:Same thing, sammy. That was very close, you know what, sammy?
Speaker 3:it's funny to know that if there's ever an argument between you two, I am automatically taking a side. Why?
Speaker 1:This is great. Why Both of you guys taking my side? That never happens. I never get anybody taking my side.
Speaker 2:No, I completely disagree. I feel like I'm on your side 80% of the time.
Speaker 1:Thank you, that's what I mean.
Speaker 2:Because most of the garbage coming out of Booth's mouth I disagree with. But for this point I'm listen, I am not anything. If I am not honest, okay, and you know that about me.
Speaker 1:That's all we want. That's what I was talking to somebody the other day. You can call me whatever you want, but I'm never gonna be fake Sure. I'm proud of that.
Speaker 2:I always joke when people ask me a question. I'm like are you sure you wanna ask me that? Because I will give you my honest answer.
Speaker 3:I will say that I do have to say.
Speaker 2:I would like to preface it with the fact that that doesn't mean that you have to be a dick about it. I can't stand when people play the game like I'm just honest. I'm like, no, you're an asshole. You can be honest and be empathetic. And you can be honest and have, like, maybe, kid gloves on when you're delivering information to someone that you think they need to know because you want to be honest with them, but it might sting a little Like you don't have to be a dick to be an honest person.
Speaker 3:Men have a harder time with the empathy aspect of that.
Speaker 2:Well, that's yeah. I mean I think that's just like they don't even know that they're doing it. Yeah, you know not to like blame them, but it's just like okay, well, you could have been a little nicer when you said it, because I am hormonal, because I do feel some type of way, exactly and I did hear something differently because it felt like this in the middle, like what?
Speaker 3:you could have been a little nicer when you said it. That is top. Put that on my headstone.
Speaker 2:Okay, I hope I'm not there for your headstone, but I will think about that. Yeah, I got you, yeah, but hey, if you want an honest answer, ask me. I will evaluate all the information.
Speaker 1:I give you the answer. Like people being fake with each other, that that drives me crazy.
Speaker 2:I've missed that gene that drives me crazy. Anyways, that was Draze number one.
Speaker 1:Your number one my number one.
Speaker 2:You know, originally I Was going to say something that's like not very cute or PC and say that's what we want to hear but I kind of want to change my mind because I actually truly believe this, because Originally I was gonna cheekily, cheekily say my favorite part about spring is 420, because I love, I love the greens, I love the flower and I love that vice. But you know what I celebrate that year round. So I don't feel like it's appropriate for me to just put that in spring. So I changed my answer to I Love the farmers market and the farmers market is back and alive with fresh fruit. And yes, I realize I sound like a boomer tray and I realized that I sound Older than I'd like. But man Dude farmers markets. I went this past weekend for the first time and it was just like fresh tea, fresh honey, fresh. There was like meat and flowers and berries and everything I'm like. This gets me going.
Speaker 1:Yeah, that turns you on it does. Okay, I just feel like it's a nice little farmers market action gets me going.
Speaker 2:It's like hey, it starts in the spring, because in the summer it's kind of hot as fuck. I don't want to go out there. But, like the spring, nice little nice little farmers market. He is asleep.
Speaker 1:That's a good one. That's a good one.
Speaker 2:I don't know what it says, that he just fell asleep with all three of us bickering so easily, but you know.
Speaker 1:I do like that we take him everywhere. So he's like, yeah, in all the environments and he hears all the noises and he's just chilling through it all. I feel like that's a good way to bring a baby into the world.
Speaker 2:I agree.
Speaker 1:There's probably a lot of parents who just like keep them in the house, like too scared to bring them out.
Speaker 3:Yeah, oh yeah. I'm also gonna say like knock on wood, I probably shouldn't say this. Please don't say that what you're about to say. Yeah, I won't say I knew what he was gonna say. I know what I'm gonna say. It Do you?
Speaker 2:think that you know he's only what? Three, four months, at this point, three months. Do you feel like if you had another one, say right now, you would already be more relaxed with the whole parenting thing? I want another one right now. Yes, but you know how some people are like. Or I feel like everyone says their first baby, I was like so nervous and this and that, and then by the time the second baby came around it was like oh, he's fine.
Speaker 3:Yeah, I'm gonna be honest, there's not a lot that I would do. Oh, my god, I don't want to eat my words one day when I says, but there's not a lot of things I would do differently, like I. I feel like I was generally pretty relaxed about him.
Speaker 1:Yeah, for sure.
Speaker 3:I was not super crazy about, but and I'm gonna say this again, it is because of his temperament. Okay, and that is something that babies are just born with, and he's not colicky, he's not you know anything, and his temperament is so chill, and that's why, when he cries, for even a couple minutes, we're like what's going on, like what's wrong, even though we have to remind yourself he's a baby. He's gonna cry, sure. Yeah, there's not a lot that I would Do differently.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I feel like I'm way more relaxed than I thought I was gonna be what do you think? I think both of us are, yeah but because I was Thinking I was gonna be a helicopter. That's me crazy the way I'm with my dogs right Like I was. But I think it's also different. The sounds back since a boy.
Speaker 3:Yeah, but he does. Yeah, he does show like it's Sean subconsciously, because you know sometimes they kill sleep and the sorry he's he co-sleeps sometimes. Don't come for me with in a snuggle me and Sean will subconsciously wake up. I said where's the baby?
Speaker 1:I can't sleep good if he's in the bed. Yeah, okay, I want to roll, yeah and then I wake up from like where is he?
Speaker 3:Is he okay? Is he eating? What's he doing? Yeah and he used to do that with Walter. He used to be like where's your dog?
Speaker 1:Yeah so, but yeah, I'm definitely way more relaxed and, to the point of him being a boy, I think it's just more cuz I put myself in his shoes which is weird and I'm just like no, that's called empathy, sean.
Speaker 2:That's not weird, that's great.
Speaker 1:Yeah, but I don't want to say that I would be more Caring if I would, or more. You'd be more fragile if I was a girl? I don't want to say that.
Speaker 2:Kind of human nature.
Speaker 3:I don't think that that's a bad thing, because you know he is the same sex as you know. Yeah, I'm like let him figure out.
Speaker 1:He's gonna figure it out.
Speaker 3:Let him figure it out. Oh, if it was a girl, I feel like a girl yeah, I would I know.
Speaker 2:Oh yeah, but do you think that that will change when he gets older and he becomes more rambunctious, or no?
Speaker 1:Hopefully be able to show him the perfect combination of love and Realness and Not being hard on him. But you know I'm not gonna baby him sure. But I'm also gonna be like listen, man, I love you, but you better like. Pops and always be like dude. I love you so much, but listen, that's not gonna fly.
Speaker 3:I can't wait to see you really discipline him for the first time, because I think you're gonna have a lot harder time disciplining him than you think, because you have a hard time disciplining an animal, I don't know.
Speaker 1:I think I'll be able to discipline him.
Speaker 3:Yeah, I can't wait to do.
Speaker 1:My number one is March madness. It is back. It is my favorite time of the year for sporting events. So we have baseball, we have March madness and we have the Masters.
Speaker 3:My number two out of here, cuz it made no sense and nothing better than.
Speaker 1:March madness. Thursday afternoon, friday afternoon, you got. It's the best sporting event in the world, hands down and Just being able to work. Have that on TV, go to Jim, have it on TV, watch you come basketball, that's.
