Okay, so welcome to our podcast.

00:00:06.974 --> 00:00:12.932
This is a little bit different today because this podcast is a spinoff of our radio show.

00:00:12.932 --> 00:00:38.136
Okay, so we have the john j vaness podcast, the highly successful john j vaness podcast, and on iheart media or on iheart radio or on kiss fm or on john jane rich.

00:00:38.136 --> 00:00:48.365
We have the couples podcast and we did a couple's podcast a couple months ago my beautiful wife blake and me, and it was tremendous lots of feedback.

00:00:48.365 --> 00:01:04.469
So we were asked to come back and do a different new couples podcast and instead of just being you and me I think we did, it was you, me and our middle son kemp yes today it is you and me and our oldest son, Jake.

00:01:07.400 --> 00:01:08.301

I'm so happy that you're here right now.

00:01:11.382 --> 00:01:15.084
You don't even know, because I know that you don't like this kind of stuff.

00:01:15.084 --> 00:01:16.204
Right, it's all right?

00:01:16.204 --> 00:01:18.266
Is it all right Because you don't like it?

00:01:18.266 --> 00:01:20.126
When I film you or when I record you, I mean, yeah, how come I don't know?

00:01:20.147 --> 00:01:21.867
I can't really think of anything I mean yeah, how come.

00:01:21.867 --> 00:01:24.909
I don't know, I can't really think of anything.

00:01:24.909 --> 00:01:28.231
I mean, I don't know.

00:01:28.451 --> 00:01:30.332
You just don't like the attention, right, I guess?

00:01:30.332 --> 00:01:31.713
So, yeah, well, you look great.

00:01:31.713 --> 00:01:33.454
I'm so happy you're here.

00:01:33.454 --> 00:01:39.257
It's my birthday today, happy birthday, and this is the greatest gift having you here right now with us on this podcast.

00:01:39.257 --> 00:01:41.802
But we are going to get to it.

00:01:41.802 --> 00:01:43.725
I don't want to sit here and just talk about why don't you like being on camera.

00:01:43.725 --> 00:01:46.513
We're just going to talk, so you, me and mom.

00:01:46.513 --> 00:01:48.626
So first let's say hi to mom.

00:01:48.626 --> 00:01:49.781
Mom, is there anything you want to bring up?

00:01:50.644 --> 00:01:51.745
Oh, happy birthday.

00:01:51.966 --> 00:01:52.266
Thank you.

00:01:52.567 --> 00:01:53.349
It's a big day.

00:01:53.950 --> 00:01:54.632
Yeah, is there anything?

00:01:54.632 --> 00:01:57.501
But is there anything I don't like getting into my birthday?

00:01:57.501 --> 00:01:59.846
I don't think.

00:01:59.846 --> 00:02:01.268
You know, jake, your mom.

00:02:01.268 --> 00:02:05.935
She's thrown a couple surprise parties for me and you know me pretty well.

00:02:09.040 --> 00:02:10.322
Do you think I like surprise parties?

00:02:10.322 --> 00:02:11.762
Not at all, not at all is right, jake, not at all.

00:02:11.782 --> 00:02:14.044
She first threw one for me when I turned 25.

00:02:14.044 --> 00:02:16.905
I hated every second of it.

00:02:16.905 --> 00:02:19.287
She threw one together for me when I turned 30.

00:02:19.287 --> 00:02:20.447
Do you remember that that was at a Rubio's right?

00:02:20.447 --> 00:02:20.967
Was it a Rubio's right?

00:02:20.967 --> 00:02:21.427
Was it a Rubio's yeah?

00:02:21.448 --> 00:02:22.487
but that was your family.

00:02:22.568 --> 00:02:24.008
That's hardly a surprise party.

00:02:24.008 --> 00:02:24.449
It was Aunt.

00:02:24.449 --> 00:02:31.612
Rosita and Uncle Javier and Sergio it was family, and then you did one when I turned 40.

00:02:31.873 --> 00:02:34.514
That was the greatest birthday party ever.

00:02:34.514 --> 00:02:36.915
It was a day in the life of John Jay.

00:02:36.915 --> 00:02:48.092
We got in a limo, we went and did hot yoga, we went to his favorite restaurant and the next day we took you kids to a cabana at a local hotel.

00:02:48.092 --> 00:02:48.913
It was great.

00:02:48.913 --> 00:02:51.407
It was all the things that you like.

00:02:51.659 --> 00:02:58.246
And now here I am, at 38 years old, anyway, okay, yeah, so it's my birthday.

00:02:58.246 --> 00:03:04.250
So, anyway, the couples podcast Before we get into whatever couples want to talk about, we've got a lot of questions.

00:03:04.250 --> 00:03:05.563
I posted on Instagram.

00:03:05.563 --> 00:03:08.581
I was like, hey, blake and I are doing a couple of podcasts, what questions do you have?

00:03:08.581 --> 00:03:13.984
And I have some questions and and I gave some to Jake to read, but let's talk about real quick.

00:03:13.984 --> 00:03:16.332
You and I just got back from Mexico, from Cancun.

00:03:16.332 --> 00:03:19.882
Um, we did stem cell treatments and I've on this podcast.

00:03:19.882 --> 00:03:21.403
I've had Dr Rafael Gonzalez on here talking about stem cells.

00:03:21.403 --> 00:03:29.171
I've had Dr Rafael Gonzalez on here talking about stem cells and regeneration of cells and all kinds of anti-aging.

00:03:29.171 --> 00:03:32.515
What did you have done and how do you feel right now, blake?

00:03:42.741 --> 00:04:02.131
So I had some injections into my hips and into my sciatica, um, with stem cells and, um, I can say that it it's been a little bit of painful, just to be perfectly honest, um the after effects of it, but I know that, at the end of the day, that these stem cells are working and I'm going to hopefully be pain-free here shortly.

00:04:02.412 --> 00:04:02.831
Pain what?

00:04:03.133 --> 00:04:03.693
Pain-free.

00:04:03.900 --> 00:04:04.709
I thought you said pain-fort here shortly.

00:04:04.709 --> 00:04:04.713
No pain-free here shortly.

00:04:04.713 --> 00:04:05.569
Pain what Pain-free.

00:04:05.569 --> 00:04:05.568
I thought you said pain-fort here shortly.

00:04:05.639 --> 00:04:08.850
No pain-free here, shortly.

00:04:08.850 --> 00:04:13.110
And then I also did IV injections, which I always feel great after those.

00:04:13.110 --> 00:04:19.452
It's almost like my body can feel the stem cells running through itself.

00:04:19.452 --> 00:04:21.708
I feel so great.

00:04:22.220 --> 00:04:23.286
And we went to ReHealth.

00:04:23.286 --> 00:04:32.100
They have a clinic in Cancun, mexico, and Cabo San Lucas, mexico, and highly, highly, highly recommend them, rehealth.

00:04:32.100 --> 00:04:36.192
I think they are the best clinic in the world.

00:04:36.192 --> 00:04:42.547
They truly do, truly do, and I've been invited by other clinics to go to places and I don't want to leave ReHealth.

00:04:42.547 --> 00:04:43.269
They're just amazing.

00:04:43.269 --> 00:04:46.846
On a side note, I have to tell you something I love your hair like that.

00:04:46.846 --> 00:04:51.303
So as we look as you watch this video later, blake and you look at your hair.

00:04:51.303 --> 00:04:52.447
This is how I love your hair.

00:04:52.447 --> 00:04:56.088
She always strains out her hair and stuff or whatever, Like I love it the way it is right now.

00:04:56.088 --> 00:04:57.011
I think you look fantastic.

00:04:57.151 --> 00:05:00.312
But wait, let me go back to ReHealth just for a second, because it's kind of funny.

00:05:00.312 --> 00:05:11.937
We funny we, you and I are often passionate about things right, and so when we're passionate about things, we want to share it with everybody, especially our friends and family and and like.

00:05:12.019 --> 00:05:17.250
A perfect example is when we um went to pine top all those summers.

00:05:17.250 --> 00:05:27.701
Every time somebody came up, you wanted to drive them around and show them how great Pinetop is and how amazing it is, and there's nothing in it for us, right?

00:05:27.701 --> 00:05:40.000
And so we have been sharing our experiences at ReHealth, which, by the way, is so first class, from the minute you get out of the airplane to the minute you go back to the airplane.

00:05:40.000 --> 00:05:43.588
They're so great, but there's nothing in it for us.

00:05:43.588 --> 00:05:53.475
What's in it for us is is health and longevity, and so I want people to know that we're not out promoting it and getting paid.

00:05:53.475 --> 00:06:01.242
We're out promoting it because we love what the effects are and we're we want to share it with everybody, like you know that's how we operate.

00:06:01.322 --> 00:06:05.252
I had somebody say something to me on Instagram, on a DM, and I responded with hold on a second.

00:06:05.252 --> 00:06:17.127
I was talking about Bikram yoga in 2007, nonstop for years, right, Nonstop and that was something that I was obsessed with.

00:06:17.127 --> 00:06:23.886
I was talking about cold plunges in 2008, nonstop, and now everyone's got a cold plunge.

00:06:23.886 --> 00:06:31.488
Before that, I was talking about Botox, and I remember when I was talking about Botox, people were saying something to me like why did you talk about Botox?

00:06:31.488 --> 00:06:32.110
It's so expensive.

00:06:32.110 --> 00:06:33.204
I was like, look, man, I'm getting it.

00:06:33.204 --> 00:06:36.360
I share my life on the radio, I go and I'm doing it.

00:06:36.360 --> 00:06:38.127
Now I haven't done Botox in a couple years.

00:06:40.420 --> 00:06:42.725
I'm sure this is my normal face on Botox.

00:06:42.764 --> 00:06:50.805
This is all stem cells and of course my friend Carly's salon and she does my face and my friend Jamie's Comstock.

00:06:50.805 --> 00:06:52.050
She does a bunch of laser stuff too.

00:06:52.050 --> 00:06:54.762
But anyway, is this shirt too tight on me?

00:06:54.762 --> 00:06:55.944
I feel like it's too tight.

00:06:55.944 --> 00:06:57.266
I've never really worn this shirt, the shirt yeah.

00:06:57.266 --> 00:06:57.927
Do you think it's too tight?

00:06:57.927 --> 00:06:58.968
No, it's perfect.

00:06:58.968 --> 00:07:00.810
You really don't think it's too tight?

00:07:00.810 --> 00:07:01.971
No, yours looks tight.

00:07:01.971 --> 00:07:04.374
I mean, you're good tight, Yours looks tight, dog.

00:07:04.553 --> 00:07:06.437
But anyway, thank you, hon.

00:07:07.040 --> 00:07:11.651
That was a very nice representation of our relationship with the ReHealth Clinic.

00:07:12.701 --> 00:07:16.951
Well, I think that's how it goes with everything that we do together and that we promote.

00:07:16.951 --> 00:07:18.024
I mean dog rescue.

00:07:18.024 --> 00:07:19.348
We're both passionate about it.

00:07:19.348 --> 00:07:21.466
Do we make money from it?

00:07:21.466 --> 00:07:24.723
No, we have not made one red cent.

00:07:24.723 --> 00:07:26.964
In fact, we donate money from it.

00:07:26.964 --> 00:07:28.065
No, we have not made one red cent.

00:07:28.086 --> 00:07:31.350
In fact, we donate money to it and we have worked at it for 11 years.

00:07:31.350 --> 00:07:36.375
But it's passion, right, let's go over some of the questions.

00:07:36.375 --> 00:07:38.036
Jake, I sent some of them to you.

00:07:38.036 --> 00:07:38.617
I didn't totally know.

00:07:38.617 --> 00:07:39.317
Do you have them?

00:07:39.358 --> 00:07:41.182
there I have a bunch of questions yeah, so I figure.

00:07:41.223 --> 00:07:43.983
these are from Instagram, so you just got to give one.

00:07:43.983 --> 00:07:45.588
We'll kind of go around the room answer them.

00:07:46.269 --> 00:07:46.490
Okay.

00:07:46.899 --> 00:07:48.406
My beautiful oldest son, Jake Van Ness.

00:07:49.180 --> 00:07:56.045
So the first question I have is who do you think me, kemp or Dutch would make you grandparents first?

00:07:58.019 --> 00:08:00.466
Accidentally or on purpose.

00:08:01.369 --> 00:08:02.791
On purpose On purpose.

00:08:03.060 --> 00:08:03.721
On purpose.

00:08:03.721 --> 00:08:05.403
I believe it's going to be Kemp.

00:08:06.004 --> 00:08:06.706
I'd say that too.

00:08:06.706 --> 00:08:08.769
I'd say, kemp, oh God, it's so.

00:08:09.250 --> 00:08:16.221
Accidentally Dutch, dutch, we all agree, I mean who knows, maybe you guys are grandparents already.

00:08:16.221 --> 00:08:18.603
Yes, oh God.

00:08:18.723 --> 00:08:19.644
Geez, what about you?

00:08:19.663 --> 00:08:25.487
Nope, nope, just living life he's going to do it the right way.

00:08:26.129 --> 00:08:29.812
Well, I think if Kemp was going to do it, he would do it the right way, but I hope he doesn't do it for a long, long time.

00:08:29.812 --> 00:08:33.033
Dutch, on the other hand, totally different ballgame man, that kid.

00:08:33.033 --> 00:08:34.195
Anyway.

00:08:34.195 --> 00:08:35.535
Okay, that's a great question, Jake.

00:08:35.535 --> 00:08:35.816
Thank you.

00:08:35.816 --> 00:08:36.557
What else, Of course?

00:08:39.201 --> 00:08:39.623
Let's see here.

00:08:39.623 --> 00:08:40.284
Okay, this is good one.

00:08:40.284 --> 00:08:45.895
Where in the world would you like to visit as a family in?

00:08:45.916 --> 00:08:50.427
the world like oh as a family as a family okay well, you know that's funny.

00:08:50.548 --> 00:09:06.376
We um, we traveled this summer to to london and amsterdam and it was the first time that we've taken you kids to to europe or on a trip really like that, because we've been strapped to basketball for all these years and we, we're always going to Pinetop, or going to San Diego?

00:09:06.397 --> 00:09:09.107
Yeah, going to San Diego, I would say, the Europe trip was probably one of my favorites.

00:09:09.360 --> 00:09:31.453
Yeah, I thought it was so great and we were talking about it, because some friends of ours every year go on a trip and a member of their family gets to pick where they're going to go that year, and so I would probably consider this trip that we did my trip, because I planned it and I did all the logistics of it.

00:09:31.453 --> 00:09:35.431
So I think it would be like a trip Daddy would pick.

00:09:36.280 --> 00:09:37.544
Right, but where would he like to go?

00:09:37.544 --> 00:09:39.402
The question for you.

00:09:39.402 --> 00:09:43.831
I'll tell you mine, but first, where would you like to go?

00:09:44.600 --> 00:09:49.192
Oh, I have a laundry list of things, but I'd love to do a safari trip oh.

00:09:49.231 --> 00:09:49.513
God.

00:09:50.081 --> 00:09:51.809
I want to go to Wimbledon, oh.

00:09:51.830 --> 00:09:53.479
God, we're already there.

00:09:53.479 --> 00:09:53.558
Why?

00:09:53.558 --> 00:09:54.932
Oh God, we're in London already done.

00:09:55.336 --> 00:09:57.125
I want to Could you handle a safari trip.

00:09:57.125 --> 00:09:59.683
Oh yeah, Do you think Mom can handle a?

00:09:59.745 --> 00:10:00.226
safari trip.

00:10:00.226 --> 00:10:06.524
You backpacked when you were a boy scout.

00:10:06.524 --> 00:10:08.630
Yeah, I just see all these crazy videos of just animals you know being animals in the wild.

00:10:08.630 --> 00:10:10.196
I would assume you'd be like stop that right now.

00:10:11.322 --> 00:10:20.009
Stop eating that animal a cheetah takes down some caribou wild animals aren't dogs, so right, it's gonna be a little difficult, right?

00:10:20.009 --> 00:10:26.764
You freak out of all of a sudden you start eating something and a cheetah takes down something well, you, you guys always make fun of me, Like what do you say?

00:10:27.004 --> 00:10:29.222
I can't remember, but you're like stay off.

00:10:30.325 --> 00:10:33.172
Charlie, no Heal, no Heal, oh God.

00:10:34.299 --> 00:10:37.230
So I'm going to tell the cheetah to heal or off.

00:10:38.100 --> 00:10:40.087
I mean anything can happen in a safari trip.

00:10:40.408 --> 00:10:41.301
What about you, jake, where?

00:10:41.321 --> 00:10:41.702
would you?

00:10:41.702 --> 00:10:46.863
I would say my first choice would be Japan.

00:10:46.863 --> 00:10:48.246
Oh yeah, I love Japan.

00:10:48.246 --> 00:10:50.823
I've seen so many videos of people going, just vlogs and stuff.

00:10:50.823 --> 00:10:54.083
I would say my second one would be Italy.

00:10:54.083 --> 00:11:00.485
I have a few friends that have been to Italy and they just say it's the most amazing experience they've ever had.

00:11:01.254 --> 00:11:02.298
Pizza and gelato.

00:11:02.298 --> 00:11:03.182
Here's the thing.

00:11:04.056 --> 00:11:04.638
With Italy.

00:11:04.638 --> 00:11:07.164
I have been there before, so has your mom?

00:11:07.164 --> 00:11:08.820
We're not together at different times.

00:11:08.820 --> 00:11:21.033
Your mom actually went with my mom, but I'm hesitant to say because I think the food is so good and this last trip we went on, we did a lot of walking and I think we do the opposite.

00:11:21.033 --> 00:11:24.761
We'd be doing a lot of eating in Italy and I'm kind of like I don't want to gain weight.

00:11:24.761 --> 00:11:30.077
So, although there's that Amalfi Coast, is that Italy want to gain weight?

00:11:30.077 --> 00:11:31.966
So, although there's that amalfi coast is that italy, I don't even know where amalfi is?

00:11:31.986 --> 00:11:32.207
is it italy?

00:11:32.207 --> 00:11:32.528
I don't know.

00:11:32.528 --> 00:11:33.030
Do you know where it is?

00:11:33.030 --> 00:11:33.293
I don't know.

00:11:33.293 --> 00:11:34.235
I've seen pictures and video.

00:11:34.235 --> 00:11:34.758
It looks great.

00:11:34.758 --> 00:11:35.681
So that looks kind of cool.

00:11:35.681 --> 00:11:36.864
But I don't want to get stuck.

00:11:36.864 --> 00:11:39.177
I've been to rome before and I remember we just sat there and ate.

00:11:39.177 --> 00:11:40.419
In florence we just ate now.

00:11:40.419 --> 00:11:42.082
There's a lot of good stuff that I mean.

00:11:42.082 --> 00:11:42.923
The food is amazing.

00:11:42.923 --> 00:11:44.706
But it's my turn to pick the next trip.

00:11:44.706 --> 00:11:46.210
I kind of know that you said Japan.

00:11:46.210 --> 00:11:51.844
That would be kind of dope, although I would like to go back to the Netherlands, because we only spent time in Amsterdam.

00:11:51.844 --> 00:11:53.399
I think there's a lot of these little.

00:11:53.399 --> 00:11:54.958
Wouldn't it be fun to go back there too?

00:11:55.058 --> 00:11:57.921
I think it'd be great, yeah, to go like outside of the city maybe.

00:11:57.921 --> 00:11:58.924
Yeah, that's what I mean.

00:12:00.335 --> 00:12:00.917
That's good, Okay.

00:12:00.917 --> 00:12:01.259
So what else?

00:12:01.259 --> 00:12:02.162
What's another question you have?

00:12:02.162 --> 00:12:02.884
Okay?

00:12:04.325 --> 00:12:04.985
This is a good question.

00:12:04.985 --> 00:12:05.927
I already know the answer to this one.

00:12:05.927 --> 00:12:09.090
But for you guys, Do the dogs miss Kemp and Dutch?

00:12:09.850 --> 00:12:11.312
Absolutely positively.

00:12:11.312 --> 00:12:13.057
Yeah, I mean Maggie.

00:12:13.057 --> 00:12:16.167
Our English bulldog is devastated.

00:12:16.167 --> 00:12:18.442
She's under Dutch's bed all the time.

00:12:18.442 --> 00:12:21.245
She doesn't eat right, she's a mess.

00:12:21.951 --> 00:12:22.355
Do you agree?

00:12:22.355 --> 00:12:33.582
Actually, yeah, when you guys were in getting the stem cells, it was a pain because I had to take care of all of our dogs, so I think it was like you were gone for like pretty much the whole week.

00:12:33.582 --> 00:12:35.226
Five days, five days, yeah.

00:12:35.226 --> 00:12:39.423
So taking care of the dogs was tough, especially when dutch moved away.

00:12:39.423 --> 00:12:46.859
I remember maggie would be just sitting under his bed waiting for him to come home every night and I have to like try to get her out without her biting me.

00:12:46.859 --> 00:12:52.109
It's is a pain, but I can definitely tell that there's a lot of impact.

00:12:52.109 --> 00:12:54.177
Did any dogs shit in the house?

00:12:54.177 --> 00:12:57.923
No questions.

00:12:57.943 --> 00:12:59.846
No, comment no questions no comment.

00:13:00.107 --> 00:13:00.808
Oh man, I don't know.

00:13:00.808 --> 00:13:01.429
It happened a lot.

00:13:01.735 --> 00:13:03.480
It happened a lot because you were playing video games.

00:13:03.500 --> 00:13:04.423
No, I mean, I cleaned it up.

00:13:05.004 --> 00:13:05.645
Still, you know what?

00:13:05.645 --> 00:13:14.879
You all opened the door, so they go out there.

00:13:14.879 --> 00:13:15.642
All right, you got another question.

00:13:15.642 --> 00:13:17.888
What has been the hardest lesson to learn when it comes to maintaining a healthy marriage?

00:13:17.908 --> 00:13:37.770
oh god, that's a good one the hardest lesson to learn, I think, communication, because you get so busy in your personal life and you have things that you're you're doing for your work or your kids or whatever, that you oftentimes forget that you need to communicate with your spouse and talk about things and download and all that.

00:13:39.277 --> 00:13:39.820
I agree with Mom.

00:13:39.820 --> 00:13:43.880
I think communication is extremely important, like when your mother and I are making love.

00:13:44.341 --> 00:13:45.144
Oh, my God.

00:13:45.514 --> 00:13:54.104
Okay, I don't need to hear this, but Good Lord, You're so wrong and you laugh.

00:13:54.215 --> 00:13:55.259
You think you're so funny.

00:13:57.154 --> 00:13:58.278
It's so uncomfortable.

00:13:58.921 --> 00:13:59.182
It is.

00:13:59.182 --> 00:14:00.144
It's so uncomfortable.

00:14:00.144 --> 00:14:04.019
Do you remember when your dad used to do this, just like your dad?

00:14:04.095 --> 00:14:06.297
By the way, side note, I've got to jump back to something.

00:14:06.297 --> 00:14:07.437
This is my birthday today, right?

00:14:07.437 --> 00:14:11.441
I don't think Jake knows this, but I am a little.

00:14:11.441 --> 00:14:13.602
I'm superstitious.

00:14:13.602 --> 00:14:16.384
You know, I'm not just stitious, I am superstitious.

00:14:16.384 --> 00:14:25.692
And when I first started in radio in 1997 in Cincinnati, I had a couple psychics on the show and they would predict the future and stuff.

00:14:25.692 --> 00:14:38.586
It was a psychic named Victor and a psychic named jill and I was like, hey, let me ask you this you know when, how, when do you think I'm gonna die?

00:14:38.586 --> 00:14:42.759
And they told me, this year, this is the year I'm gonna die, and I'm kind of freaked out about it that is right.

00:14:42.940 --> 00:14:47.801
So I'm hoping they're shitty psychics, but I'm hoping they didn't know about stem cells back then.

00:14:47.801 --> 00:14:51.017
But uh, I mean, wouldn't that be terrible if they were right?

00:14:51.017 --> 00:14:57.023
Right, and then you could take this clip and run this clip over and over again, like yes, that would be terrible.

00:14:57.023 --> 00:15:00.037
This is the year, so like a year from now, we got to come back here and go.

00:15:00.037 --> 00:15:00.638
I made it.

00:15:00.638 --> 00:15:02.283
I made it.

00:15:02.283 --> 00:15:06.534
The john j vaness podcast is still rocking and he's alive.

00:15:06.534 --> 00:15:07.178
He's alive.

00:15:07.178 --> 00:15:08.932
Weird science's alive, weird science.

00:15:09.895 --> 00:15:11.159
What I also won't.

00:15:11.159 --> 00:15:12.605
Let that happen you won't let that happen.

00:15:14.134 --> 00:15:14.535
My boy.

00:15:14.535 --> 00:15:19.537
No, you are in such great health and you are on top of everything.

00:15:19.537 --> 00:15:21.605
That's so wrong.

00:15:23.658 --> 00:15:27.740
That's an opinion from a very long time ago, I know but I actually want to call find her, track her down, Take it off.

00:15:27.760 --> 00:15:33.206
You're worryless Because I actually want to call, find her, track her down, take it off your worry list, because I am supposed to die this year, according to her.

00:15:34.255 --> 00:15:35.139
By the way, communication.

00:15:35.139 --> 00:15:35.581
I agree with you.

00:15:35.581 --> 00:15:37.519
I think it's very, very, very important.

00:15:37.519 --> 00:15:39.586
I had this thing.

00:15:39.586 --> 00:15:39.999
We had this.

00:15:39.999 --> 00:15:53.140
In fact, I was doing this podcast with some marriage coaches here and we were talking about a relationship, but, blake, I never even said this to you and I don't even know if you know.

00:15:53.140 --> 00:15:53.643
In fact, I'll do it here.

00:15:53.663 --> 00:15:55.028
Do you ever see the clip that was posted last week about where I was?

00:15:55.028 --> 00:16:02.547
Like we were talking about all this stuff, and I said, when I come home from work, like I want my wife to greet me, I want you to say hi to me.

00:16:02.547 --> 00:16:05.599
And they go yeah, that's really important, it's really important to me.

00:16:05.599 --> 00:16:11.381
And I go know, like my kids are going away to college and she's got a lot on her mind right now and she really hasn't done that lately.

00:16:11.381 --> 00:16:13.720
And then they posted it.

00:16:13.720 --> 00:16:19.755
And then the therapist made a comment Because I said in the clip I go oh God, I've got to talk to her about this before it drops.

00:16:19.755 --> 00:16:24.259
And then they dropped the podcast before I could talk to you about it.

00:16:24.259 --> 00:16:26.400
So that's a little thing for me in front of our kid.

00:16:26.400 --> 00:16:28.322
Would you mind saying hi to me when I come home.

00:16:29.024 --> 00:16:30.124
I do every day.

00:16:30.424 --> 00:16:37.590
No, sometimes you're on the phone or sometimes you're watching tennis, or sometimes you're in that and when you're on a Zoom or something I get it.

00:16:37.590 --> 00:16:46.162
But sometimes I've come home and you're like on the couch and I'm like, when I come home I want to like, Like when you guys come home.

00:16:46.261 --> 00:16:50.568
I that completely okay, because if I'm on a zoom, yeah, I get it.

00:16:50.568 --> 00:17:03.995
But you usually come over to me but I've never just laid on the couch and not said hello, a couple times, especially during tennis, you have no, I, I don't think so I'm telling you about, I mean my it's it's happened.

00:17:04.096 --> 00:17:11.189
I respectfully disagree with that but like uh, um, sometimes, how many times have I come home and you go oh, I didn't know you were home.

00:17:11.954 --> 00:17:14.203
That's true too, because I didn't know you were home.

00:17:14.203 --> 00:17:16.241
You didn't make your presence known.

00:17:16.241 --> 00:17:17.721
And I didn't hear the.

00:17:17.721 --> 00:17:23.185
Usually I hear the deet, deet, deet, but lately I haven't been hearing that, which, by the way, we should probably get that fixed.

00:17:25.096 --> 00:17:27.082
But anyway, so I'm communicating right now.

00:17:27.122 --> 00:17:31.763
Yeah, I definitely try to do that, and the only reason that I don't is if I'm on a Zoom or something.

00:17:32.214 --> 00:17:35.819
Do you think, jake you as our oldest son is this the biggest fight mom and I have been into right now?

00:17:37.042 --> 00:17:37.964
Definitely not no.

00:17:38.005 --> 00:17:38.866
No, you've seen us fight about it.

00:17:38.914 --> 00:17:42.738
But I mean I would say tennis is very important to mom, right?

00:17:43.699 --> 00:17:46.500
Yes, I have a 4 o'clock match today that I need to see.

00:17:46.500 --> 00:17:50.865
Jeez, it's coming to an end on Sunday for the rest of the year.

00:17:51.045 --> 00:17:52.306
You look great on TV, thank you.

00:17:52.306 --> 00:17:54.969
You are so handsome, you can get your own podcast.

00:17:55.429 --> 00:17:56.710
Maybe, maybe someday.

00:17:56.710 --> 00:17:57.431
Any other questions there?

00:17:57.431 --> 00:17:59.051
All right, this one's for Mom.

00:17:59.051 --> 00:18:02.284
If you won the Powerball, what would you do?

00:18:02.284 --> 00:18:04.102
What would be the first thing you would do?

00:18:14.515 --> 00:18:14.816
Luxury-wise.

00:18:14.816 --> 00:18:15.397
Luxury wise, I would.

00:18:15.397 --> 00:18:16.401
Okay, I'm going to answer this in two ways.

00:18:16.401 --> 00:18:18.508
Luxury wise I'd love to have an airplane, and I don't want to own the airplane.

00:18:18.508 --> 00:18:26.517
I want to have like a set jets or net jets, or whatever a membership because that would be so convenient and I would love to have that as a luxury.

00:18:27.482 --> 00:18:29.535
Secondly, you're talking about $1.7 billion.

00:18:29.535 --> 00:18:31.901
So, that would be a drop in the bucket.

00:18:31.901 --> 00:18:33.025
That'd be nothing Exactly.

00:18:34.256 --> 00:18:52.425
But what I would do is I would spend a lot of that money helping rescue and getting rescue dogs adopted and helping shelters and, because I've been working so hard for 11 years on shelter prevention, I would put a lot of money towards shelter prevention.

00:18:52.535 --> 00:19:01.406
Wouldn't it be something like if we won $1.7 billion and you took $100 million to help dog rescue?

00:19:01.406 --> 00:19:02.648
It would change the world.

00:19:03.422 --> 00:19:04.856
It would absolutely People like.

00:19:04.958 --> 00:19:06.464
Elon Musk are worth $100 billion.

00:19:06.464 --> 00:19:07.961
Why not throw $100 million out there?

00:19:07.961 --> 00:19:08.912
I would agree with you, I would try to do something like that.

00:19:08.912 --> 00:19:08.997
I would also try.

00:19:08.997 --> 00:19:09.317
Are worth $100 billion.

00:19:09.317 --> 00:19:09.817
Why not throw $100 million out there?

00:19:09.817 --> 00:19:10.875
I would agree with you, I would try to do something like that.

00:19:10.875 --> 00:19:13.083
I would also try to help the homeless community.

00:19:13.083 --> 00:19:15.281
I would donate to so many things.

00:19:15.281 --> 00:19:17.281
I've already manifested it.

00:19:17.281 --> 00:19:23.960
In other words, it's going to happen, and mark my words when it does happen, you can play this clip back too and go wow, they did do that.

00:19:23.960 --> 00:19:25.464
They did buy a jet.

00:19:25.464 --> 00:19:26.465
They did buy a jet.

00:19:26.465 --> 00:19:27.066
No, no, no, but they did go.

00:19:27.066 --> 00:19:28.166
We did help, right?

00:19:28.166 --> 00:19:32.131
Yeah, I also think about like I want to give everybody that I work with like a million dollars.

00:19:32.131 --> 00:19:37.167
But then I was like, oh, but they give me a million dollars and they're going to quit, and then what right?

00:19:37.167 --> 00:19:41.885
So I thought I'd give them a million dollars, but they I'd give them a contract.

00:19:41.885 --> 00:19:45.277
At the end of the contract, I'll give them a million dollars anyway.

00:19:45.297 --> 00:19:49.366
These are the things I think about how would you if you won 1.7 billion?

00:19:49.366 --> 00:19:50.457
Is that where it's at right now?

00:19:50.457 --> 00:19:52.221
What?

00:19:52.221 --> 00:19:53.785
What would change your life?

00:19:53.785 --> 00:19:55.188
Would you still go to work every day?

00:19:55.188 --> 00:20:00.557
Every day yeah, I might like I can't imagine you not doing your job, because you love your job I would probably.

00:20:00.576 --> 00:20:12.557
If we had 1.7 billion, I would go to work every day but I would probably buy the building that the radio station is in and make it the perfect studio for us and I would hire sales team.

00:20:12.557 --> 00:20:13.440
I would hire management.

00:20:13.440 --> 00:20:14.403
I'd hire everything.

00:20:14.403 --> 00:20:16.488
I would hire everything and I pay.

00:20:16.488 --> 00:20:20.224
I have so much advertising I have like I would have john jay and rich billboards.

00:20:20.224 --> 00:20:25.946
Ever worse than learner in row more than you see I think about all the time on the bus on the buses.

00:20:26.067 --> 00:20:26.917
I would have it everywhere.

00:20:26.917 --> 00:20:28.424
Yeah, I would have it everywhere.

00:20:28.424 --> 00:20:29.167
Yeah, I would have it everywhere.

00:20:29.167 --> 00:20:29.851
Yeah, totally.

00:20:29.851 --> 00:20:32.397
Anyway, is there another question?

00:20:33.579 --> 00:20:36.847
There's so many, all right, no good, this one's for me.

00:20:36.847 --> 00:20:38.622
Am I still going to the military?

00:20:38.622 --> 00:20:43.547
That is a difficult question to answer because I'm kind of still deciding.

00:20:43.547 --> 00:20:50.167
I mean, I'm still doing school, so a few more semesters, but I would say that is still up there.

00:20:50.167 --> 00:20:59.738
But I'm also deciding other things too, like if I want to do stuff with McCarthy, go back, do another internship or just, you know, do something else.

00:20:59.738 --> 00:21:05.238
But yeah, military still is an interest of mine that I'd like to do if.

00:21:05.278 --> 00:21:13.869
I had to join a branch, I'd either pick probably the Army or the Marines, just those two.

00:21:14.355 --> 00:21:20.506
Well, I have to tell you, I think if you went into the military your parents would be so proud, proud to have a son in the military.

00:21:20.506 --> 00:21:25.861
You'd be scared because first, of all, I think the Marines are the first ones they send out right.

00:21:26.020 --> 00:21:26.843
Right, there's a war.

00:21:26.843 --> 00:21:28.205
First response Right, I know there's a war.

00:21:28.226 --> 00:21:30.030
First response Right, I know, that's scary.

00:21:30.755 --> 00:21:36.239
But also if he's an Eagle Scout, so he has a rank advancement and he will have a degree.

00:21:36.239 --> 00:21:38.124
So he has an opportunity.

00:21:39.055 --> 00:21:43.825
But you're also 22 years old, so you have everything ahead of you right now.

00:21:43.825 --> 00:21:44.646
You know what I mean.

00:21:44.646 --> 00:21:45.147
There's a million.

00:21:45.167 --> 00:21:45.689
Yeah, exactly.

00:21:53.996 --> 00:21:54.898
Let's say there's a million.

00:21:54.898 --> 00:21:55.500
Let's say you, what else?

00:21:55.500 --> 00:21:55.601
What?

00:21:55.601 --> 00:21:57.325
Let's say there's what would you want to do if you could do anything you want?

00:21:57.325 --> 00:21:57.967
What would you want to be?

00:21:57.967 --> 00:21:58.809
That is a tough question.

00:21:58.809 --> 00:21:59.049
Uh, probably.

00:21:59.049 --> 00:22:00.053
Um, I don't know something with entertainment.

00:22:00.053 --> 00:22:01.296
Like I want to do like stuff with movies.

00:22:01.296 --> 00:22:05.065
Maybe I want to do um, just like make content for anything.

00:22:05.105 --> 00:22:07.699
Really I think like working with mccarthy.

00:22:07.739 --> 00:22:09.564
it was fun doing some of the marketing stuff.

00:22:09.564 --> 00:22:18.106
I would say like making videos for them, like making it kind of my own thing, was really cool you got good feedback on that too oh yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:22:18.106 --> 00:22:25.859
I think soon they're going to be playing at one of their events, at one of my videos I've made before I left, so, yeah, that'd be pretty sick.

00:22:25.859 --> 00:22:26.801
That's awesome.

00:22:26.821 --> 00:22:27.363
That's very cool.

00:22:27.363 --> 00:22:29.153
What else, let's see.

00:22:29.153 --> 00:22:29.855
I got some questions too.

00:22:29.855 --> 00:22:30.316
Do you have any more?

00:22:30.316 --> 00:22:31.198
I have some too.

00:22:31.198 --> 00:22:31.919
Let's see.

00:22:33.563 --> 00:22:33.923
Yeah, I do.

00:22:34.569 --> 00:22:38.012
Can Blake give advice to wives with ADHD husbands?

00:22:39.094 --> 00:22:44.700
Oh my gosh it's funny because we're opposite in that way.

00:22:44.700 --> 00:22:52.086
I'm very more like strategic and more organized and that kind of stuff.

00:22:52.086 --> 00:22:58.921
I think patience and just learning how your spouse operates differently than you are and being accepting of it.

00:22:59.342 --> 00:23:00.263
Do you think I have ADHD?

00:23:00.691 --> 00:23:04.679
Oh for sure, 100% Like you're all over the place all the time, Do you think I have?

00:23:04.699 --> 00:23:04.778
ADHD.

00:23:04.778 --> 00:23:05.300
Do you think I have ADHD?

00:23:05.300 --> 00:23:05.942
Oh, for sure, 100%.

00:23:05.942 --> 00:23:06.826
Like you're all over the place all the time.

00:23:06.826 --> 00:23:07.327
Do you think I have ADHD?

00:23:07.327 --> 00:23:07.588
Do you think?

00:23:07.608 --> 00:23:07.890
I have HD ADHD.

00:23:08.869 --> 00:23:09.794
Do you have a high-definition D?

00:23:09.794 --> 00:23:09.874
Dd?

00:23:09.874 --> 00:23:15.959
I think a lot of people have that.

00:23:16.279 --> 00:23:16.861
I think so too.

00:23:17.342 --> 00:23:19.175
Very common, yeah, it is very common.

00:23:19.789 --> 00:23:21.314
I would say, though, coffee.

00:23:21.314 --> 00:23:23.921
If you have ADHD and you drink coffee, it helps so much.

00:23:23.921 --> 00:23:26.676
Yeah, Like I drink two cups of coffee a day every morning.

00:23:26.676 --> 00:23:26.798
Do?

00:23:26.837 --> 00:23:27.559
you think you have ADHD.

00:23:28.571 --> 00:23:31.480
I don't have I mean I'm pretty I don't know.

00:23:31.480 --> 00:23:33.036
I mean I'm pretty tired when I wake up.

00:23:33.155 --> 00:23:34.973
so you go to bed at two in the morning.

00:23:35.013 --> 00:23:35.454
That's true.

00:23:35.454 --> 00:23:37.580
Yeah, that's very true, do you think?

00:23:37.601 --> 00:23:45.211
you have ADHD, do you think?

00:23:45.211 --> 00:23:51.256
I just think, though, for you, like, your brain never stops, like even when you go to sleep at night, your whole body moves, remember when Jake used to sleep with us and he was like that.

00:23:51.256 --> 00:23:51.857
Yeah.

00:23:51.939 --> 00:23:52.601
I still do that.

00:23:52.601 --> 00:23:54.115
Oh, you moved all the time.

00:23:54.155 --> 00:23:55.776
Yeah, I'd still move in my bed.

00:23:56.330 --> 00:23:57.236
Will you sleep with us tonight?

00:23:57.236 --> 00:24:01.200
I would like for you to sleep in the middle between me and Mom tonight.

00:24:03.050 --> 00:24:04.012
Here's a question.

00:24:04.012 --> 00:24:07.643
I'll probably be getting in bed while you begin going up to work Exactly.

00:24:07.789 --> 00:24:09.175
Blake, what are you reading right now?

00:24:09.175 --> 00:24:11.096
John Jay, what are you watching right now?

00:24:11.096 --> 00:24:12.777
That's from Michelle in Pennsylvania.

00:24:13.590 --> 00:24:17.788
Oh, I'm reading Kissing Girls on Shabbat.

00:24:17.788 --> 00:24:30.337
It's a memoir of a gal who was in a I can't remember the name of the Jewish religion, but it's a very strict.

00:24:30.337 --> 00:24:33.233
Jewish religion, no, but it's a sector of it.

00:24:33.273 --> 00:25:04.375
A sitting Jew yes, a sitting Jew, yes and she ends up getting married and getting a divorce a divorce which is not really allowed and then getting remarried and then leaving um for a woman and she has kids, and so it's very, uh, it's very interesting to see and I only have like 20 pages left and I can't wait to read the end of it do you guys ever go to bed angry?

00:25:04.375 --> 00:25:07.037
I don't think so.

00:25:07.037 --> 00:25:10.000
I think that's one of the things we've always been pretty decent at.

00:25:10.609 --> 00:25:12.376
Well, you don't know it, but I go to bed angry all the time.

00:25:14.111 --> 00:25:15.538
Unless you don't tell me that you're mad.

00:25:15.578 --> 00:25:15.961
I don't tell you.

00:25:15.961 --> 00:25:16.463
No, I don't tell you.

00:25:16.690 --> 00:25:17.451
Why wouldn't wait?

00:25:17.451 --> 00:25:20.276
Hold on, You're going to just gloss over that.

00:25:20.276 --> 00:25:21.778
Why wouldn't you tell me if you're angry?

00:25:22.138 --> 00:25:24.963
Because I'm tired and then by the time I wake up I'm not angry anymore.

00:25:26.589 --> 00:25:26.971
But what?

00:25:27.011 --> 00:25:27.452
would you.

00:25:27.452 --> 00:25:41.652
When you do what I do for a living and you get up I got up at 2.30 this morning, right and as the day goes on you get so irrational your logic doesn't make sense, so you get mad about certain things.

00:25:41.652 --> 00:25:44.494
And then I realize I'm so mad right now.

00:25:44.494 --> 00:25:48.458
And then I get up in the morning and I talk to other people on the show the same way, where it's like.

00:25:48.458 --> 00:25:50.820
The next morning I wake up, I'm rested Boy.

00:25:50.820 --> 00:25:51.560
That was stupid.

00:25:51.560 --> 00:25:52.843
I'm glad I didn't say anything to her.

00:25:52.843 --> 00:25:53.823
You know what I mean.

00:25:53.843 --> 00:25:54.944
Okay, give me an example.

00:25:54.944 --> 00:25:55.785
I can't think of anything.

00:25:55.785 --> 00:25:57.326
Well, I'd like to know.

00:26:02.519 --> 00:26:04.122
Okay, it seems like it was Okay, let's go Yesterday.

00:26:04.122 --> 00:26:04.963
I got mad yesterday.

00:26:05.490 --> 00:26:06.473
I knew you were mad.

00:26:06.795 --> 00:26:07.759
What do you think I was mad about?

00:26:08.069 --> 00:26:09.073
I didn't know why.

00:26:09.394 --> 00:26:10.135
But you knew I was mad.

00:26:10.317 --> 00:26:11.660
I knew you were mad, but I was also tired.

00:26:11.680 --> 00:26:12.301
I've been up since 3.

00:26:12.301 --> 00:26:13.997
I got up at 3 in the morning yesterday.

00:26:13.997 --> 00:26:24.337
I went and I did a radio show meeting about stuff which you didn't ask me about hold on I'll tell you about.

00:26:24.337 --> 00:26:25.684
You didn't ask me about that and then you didn't say how was your?

00:26:25.684 --> 00:26:27.211
You text me during the show and you say how's the show going?

00:26:27.211 --> 00:26:32.996
But when I come home like you didn't ask me how my day was, but you were watching tennis when I came home, right?

00:26:32.996 --> 00:26:34.503
But you're also recovering.

00:26:34.503 --> 00:26:36.171
This has nothing to do with what I was saying earlier, does?

00:26:36.211 --> 00:26:37.133
tennis make you angry.

00:26:37.133 --> 00:26:38.957
I'm watching tennis.

00:26:38.977 --> 00:26:40.621
She took over the whole tv.

00:26:40.621 --> 00:26:54.417
Now I can't watch tv, but wait, so then that's the bottom line was when you went on the zooms and you made me wait, so I wanted to leave the house oh, I knew that I left, I it was like 2 15 and I had.

00:26:54.458 --> 00:26:56.121
No, yeah, I had a meeting.

00:26:56.121 --> 00:26:58.384
I was done off my meeting at one at 2 15.

00:26:58.384 --> 00:27:06.721
I was doing my meeting at 2 15 and I was up, right, because the thing when you get up as early as I do, when you slow down, when you stop, you crash.

00:27:06.721 --> 00:27:09.306
You get really tired and you don't want to re-motivate.

00:27:09.306 --> 00:27:10.758
So I was off the meeting.

00:27:10.758 --> 00:27:13.269
There was a lot of energy in the meeting and I'm like, okay, so you guys are closed.

00:27:13.269 --> 00:27:14.771
I gotta go buy my lotto tickets.

00:27:14.771 --> 00:27:27.224
I had my numbers ready, I had all this, I had a whole system ready and I walked downstairs and mom's on a zoom and I'm like, hey, uh, I'm gonna go get a lot of tickets, just wait wait, wait, wait, wait and I'm like because she's recovering, like laying in.

00:27:27.244 --> 00:27:34.034
So I was like does she want to go with me to get the lottery tickets, or does she want to wait me to wait to say she, she want to tell me something?

00:27:34.034 --> 00:27:42.094
So I sit down on the couch, tennis is on and she's on a zoom, so I can't change the channel and watch what I want to watch multitasking also.

00:27:42.615 --> 00:27:44.196
She's on mute she's on the zoom.

00:27:44.196 --> 00:27:51.292
So I'm like I'm waiting and I'm waiting, and I waited 45 minutes like she never once said I want to go with you.

00:27:51.292 --> 00:27:53.819
She didn't say, she didn't say wait.

00:27:53.819 --> 00:27:55.464
Uh, I just want to tell you this one thing.

00:27:55.464 --> 00:27:56.112
And she didn't say so.

00:27:56.112 --> 00:27:59.990
I was just waiting and waiting and finally I said do I go, do you want to come with me?

00:27:59.990 --> 00:28:02.154
And she goes yeah, I'd like, I'd like to.

00:28:02.154 --> 00:28:09.880
And I was like, oh okay, because my thought was I'm going to go get the lotto tickets, come home, and then we'd go pick up food to eat dinner because she was recovering.

00:28:09.880 --> 00:28:12.670
But it turns out that's not what she wanted to go get the lotto tickets.

00:28:12.670 --> 00:28:13.915
I mean, she wanted to go grocery shopping.

00:28:13.915 --> 00:28:15.695
So that's so stated.

00:28:15.695 --> 00:28:19.358
I was irritated at that when I woke up this morning morning.

00:28:19.358 --> 00:28:20.640
That was silly and it didn't matter.

00:28:20.640 --> 00:28:21.840
You see what I'm saying.

00:28:21.840 --> 00:28:23.583
Does that make sense?

00:28:23.702 --> 00:28:28.073
yeah, but I could tell you were mad last night, right, but I didn't want to say anything, because we get this huge fight and it's a stupid fight.

00:28:28.272 --> 00:28:38.590
So I am aware of the irritability that I have, I'm aware that I'm tired and I'm aware that if I bring this up, we're gonna get into a nine-hour fight for no reason.00:28:38.590 --> 00:28:40.534


When I get some rest, I'll be fine in the morning.00:28:40.534 --> 00:28:42.396


I woke up this morning and I was fine.00:28:42.396 --> 00:28:43.679


Do you get what I'm saying?00:28:43.679 --> 00:28:48.634


See, but also, you should have been like I mean, don't you feel bad making me wait for 45 minutes?00:28:49.597 --> 00:28:54.019


I would wait for you for 10 hours, god, so no.00:28:54.789 --> 00:28:56.496


You gotta find yourself a woman like your mom, right?00:28:56.496 --> 00:28:58.060


Okay, wait other questions.00:28:58.060 --> 00:28:59.673


How did you guys meet?00:29:00.193 --> 00:29:00.934


How did we meet?00:29:00.934 --> 00:29:02.357


Through our friend Christy Pileman.00:29:02.357 --> 00:29:03.200


She introduced us.00:29:03.681 --> 00:29:04.122


That's true.00:29:04.122 --> 00:29:04.963


That's true.00:29:04.963 --> 00:29:11.958


Christy and I grew up together in Chandler and Christy was picking me up.00:29:11.958 --> 00:29:12.961


I broke my leg.00:29:12.961 --> 00:29:17.240


I broke my ankle and Christy was picking me up to go to a party at her house.00:29:17.240 --> 00:29:21.480


We stopped at your mom's house to pick up jello shots that your mom had made.00:29:21.480 --> 00:29:23.814


Are you excited?00:29:23.814 --> 00:29:28.982


What are you excited for in this next chapter of life, now that the boys are completely grown?00:29:28.982 --> 00:29:30.949


Yeah, that one blake.00:29:30.949 --> 00:29:31.550


Can you answer that one?00:29:31.730 --> 00:29:37.633


I think we've talked about a lot recently and that is like we would love to travel and do some things.00:29:37.633 --> 00:29:45.464


So for me it's, you know, spending more time at the beach and doing some fun traveling.00:29:46.270 --> 00:29:49.461


What's your current favorite activity to do together?00:29:50.030 --> 00:29:51.380


I think we have different answers.00:29:51.803 --> 00:29:52.788


What's yours?00:29:53.250 --> 00:29:58.121


My favorite thing that we do is play backgammon every weekend.00:29:59.022 --> 00:29:59.144


Oh.00:29:59.569 --> 00:30:02.015


So we wake up, we do our thing, I meditate, you do your stretches.00:30:02.015 --> 00:30:02.355


So we go have.00:30:02.355 --> 00:30:04.199


We wake up, we do our thing, I meditate, you do your stretches.00:30:04.199 --> 00:30:12.318


And then we go have coffee somewhere and we play backgammon.00:30:12.681 --> 00:30:12.961


That's good.00:30:12.961 --> 00:30:14.632


What do you think mine is?00:30:14.632 --> 00:30:17.699


I like when we film our lovemaking.00:30:18.220 --> 00:30:19.301


What is wrong with you?00:30:21.455 --> 00:30:26.530


Just kidding, you will never find that I don't know what our favorite thing is to do together.00:30:26.652 --> 00:30:29.338


I do enjoy why wouldn't you have something that you like?00:30:29.338 --> 00:30:30.511


Because I think I know, what it is.00:30:30.531 --> 00:30:30.934


What do you think?00:30:30.954 --> 00:30:32.683


it is, I think, all eating dinner together.00:30:32.885 --> 00:30:34.090


I love eating dinner together.00:30:34.090 --> 00:30:35.694


I write it down every, every.00:30:35.694 --> 00:30:46.255


Every morning I write down my goals and stuff, and at night I write down three things that I loved about today and the last couple days have been the three of us eating dinner together.00:30:46.255 --> 00:30:47.137


I love it.00:30:47.137 --> 00:30:52.890


It's one of my favorite moments of the day, that's good one, jake in fact it says what's a change you're going through but weren't expecting.00:30:52.890 --> 00:31:01.371


Now that the two boys have left, I don't know, because I not monitoring, dutch maybe no that's true.00:31:01.752 --> 00:31:02.315


I mean the.00:31:02.315 --> 00:31:05.846


The stress level of dutch is is lower.00:31:05.846 --> 00:31:07.392


You know, I talked to him today a couple times.00:31:07.412 --> 00:31:09.920


You know he told me I said so because now he's living in the dorms.00:31:09.920 --> 00:31:11.011


It's been two weeks to college.00:31:11.011 --> 00:31:12.616


I was like so like are you?00:31:12.616 --> 00:31:14.201


He goes, I go, are you partying still?00:31:14.201 --> 00:31:18.498


And he goes, everybody in this dorm room on this floor parties every single night.00:31:18.498 --> 00:31:20.869


He goes the first four days he goes.00:31:20.869 --> 00:31:23.795


The first four days I partied, he, he goes, but now I don't.00:31:23.795 --> 00:31:25.396


But he plays 2K.00:31:25.396 --> 00:31:29.884


He plays video games all day, 11 hours, 12 hours of video games.00:31:34.470 --> 00:31:36.903


Best money we've ever spent is letting him transfer his own money into his account to buy that.00:31:36.923 --> 00:31:37.729


Oh, I didn't know that Seriously?00:31:37.749 --> 00:31:39.535


Yeah, no, that's exactly what we did.00:31:40.518 --> 00:31:41.220


Let's see.00:31:41.220 --> 00:31:50.157


Oh, I have a one and a half year old son and I'm 20 weeks pregnant with baby number two.00:31:50.419 --> 00:31:51.161


Give me your best parenting advice?00:31:51.161 --> 00:31:52.364


Oh, I think patience.00:31:52.364 --> 00:31:58.996


I mean we had two close together and then the third one not far behind, and it's you know what I?00:31:58.996 --> 00:32:06.266


I wish I would have enjoyed the stressful moments a little bit more.00:32:06.450 --> 00:32:19.976


I agree completely with you Because now it's like now they're grown and there's different stresses with them, but when you're in the thick of it, you're like God, I'm so tired and I'm so frustrated and this is too much and how am I going to handle this?00:32:19.976 --> 00:32:25.332


And instead of like going, this is the greatest gift ever these two are fighting.00:32:25.332 --> 00:32:27.015


This is awesome.00:32:27.015 --> 00:32:30.000


We've created these human beings Like.00:32:30.000 --> 00:32:32.690


I tell that to people all the time.00:32:32.690 --> 00:32:42.307


I know you and I, when we see each other, see other people, when we're out together and they have like three boys or whatever, we're always like, oh my gosh, enjoyed them so much.00:32:42.307 --> 00:32:51.179


We sat next to these cute little girls the other Sunday when we were having coffee and playing backgammon and these three girls were the cutest little things.00:32:51.179 --> 00:33:02.260


They had chocolate all over their faces and their dad was with them and they said that they have one more little baby girl at home and I was like, oh my gosh, even in the rough moments, just enjoy.00:33:02.340 --> 00:33:06.496


I know I miss you as a little kid, but I love you as a man.00:33:06.516 --> 00:33:18.700


I know I love your little, your little cheekies, and you're such a beautiful little kid and your smile, oh my gosh, I saw this post and I talked about it on the radio show today because this guy, this guy just had a baby, him and his wife and the baby.00:33:18.700 --> 00:33:19.750


They just went home the hospital.00:33:19.750 --> 00:33:20.932


He's asking for advice.00:33:20.932 --> 00:33:25.722


Like that, just like this message, and it was like people would say you know, it goes so fast.00:33:25.722 --> 00:33:26.403


Blink of an eye.00:33:26.403 --> 00:33:27.893


And I saw this post.00:33:27.893 --> 00:33:34.915


That was like it was about what mom just said and it was like that was the blink, like we were living in the blink.00:33:34.915 --> 00:33:41.455


So now, 10 years from now, I'm going to look back and, like man, remember when Jake interviewed us.00:33:41.455 --> 00:33:42.416


We sat and interviewed Jake.00:33:42.416 --> 00:33:44.759


Like this time, right now, is the new blink.00:33:44.759 --> 00:33:49.005


So I'm learning to accept and appreciate every moment that we have with you, jake.00:33:49.025 --> 00:33:51.166


That's really good yeah.00:33:53.512 --> 00:33:55.278


Are you excited to go on more dates?00:33:55.278 --> 00:33:56.201


Yeah, I love date night.00:34:01.751 --> 00:34:04.957


What was your first reaction when you found out that John Jay likes your?00:34:05.096 --> 00:34:05.237


feet.00:34:05.237 --> 00:34:05.817


Do you know about your?00:34:05.817 --> 00:34:07.200


Dad's foot fetish for your mom?00:34:07.200 --> 00:34:08.682


No comment.00:34:08.682 --> 00:34:10.304


I mean, I don't know, that was so long ago.00:34:10.304 --> 00:34:11.675


That was like when we were dating.00:34:11.675 --> 00:34:12.931


You've always liked feet.00:34:13.413 --> 00:34:14.353


Look at these beautiful feet, jake.00:34:14.353 --> 00:34:14.855


Look at your mom's feet.00:34:14.855 --> 00:34:15.175


Let me see.00:34:15.175 --> 00:34:16.777


Look at these babies.00:34:16.777 --> 00:34:19.302


Look at these babies.00:34:19.302 --> 00:34:20.043


They're my favorite.00:34:20.043 --> 00:34:21.704


They're the best, okay.00:34:30.630 --> 00:34:30.811


Do you?00:34:30.811 --> 00:34:32.817


They're my favorite, they're the best, okay, do you have any other questions over there, jake?00:34:32.817 --> 00:34:33.458


Uh, I think I got most of them.00:34:33.458 --> 00:34:35.043


I have a question for jake, okay, okay, you're 22.00:34:35.043 --> 00:34:36.427


In the future you'll be married, you'll have children.00:34:36.427 --> 00:34:45.990


What are one, or what are one or two things that you would take from your childhood that you would bring into your marriage or into your relationship or to your kids?00:34:47.253 --> 00:34:47.873


that's tough.00:34:47.873 --> 00:34:53.844


Um, I would say I'd probably get him.00:34:53.844 --> 00:35:04.943


Uh, if they're, if they're guys, I'd probably get him into scouting, like boy scouts and stuff just because going through that made me kind of like more aware of everything.00:35:04.943 --> 00:35:06.452


Also, you learn new things.00:35:06.452 --> 00:35:15.534


Um, you learn how to be, you know uh, what do you call it just like by yourself and learn new things and it's just.00:35:15.554 --> 00:35:29.248


I think it's a great way of you know, becoming more, like you know, interested in whatever it is you want to do yeah, that was one of the greatest things we ever did, man, was when you took your boy scouts and you fell in love with it.00:35:29.449 --> 00:35:33.880


Oh yeah, that's another thing like the camping trips, like you just learn it's.00:35:33.880 --> 00:35:35.121


It's a great tool.00:35:35.161 --> 00:35:43.532


You just learn, like so many things, there's a deal with all kinds of situations you don't, you don't realize that when you're in scouting, but then after you're like, oh, I, oh, I know how to do this, I know how to do that.00:35:43.532 --> 00:35:46.556


There's just so many great tools with scouting.00:35:46.556 --> 00:35:57.527


Plus, if you become an Eagle Scout, I mean, you're an Eagle Scout, you have a lot of, I think I don't know, I don't know the percentage, but not a lot of people make it as an Eagle Scout.00:35:57.527 --> 00:36:00.998


Exactly right, it's a great thing.00:36:04.731 --> 00:36:08.025


And we've heard along the way like people that didn't finish and they regretted not finishing.00:36:08.045 --> 00:36:29.804


Yeah, you know, if I were to answer my own question, there are two things that I brought from my family to you guys, and that was I love a round table because I think you can see each other and I love that when you're sitting at dinner or breakfast or lunch or whatever it is and you can see each other.00:36:29.804 --> 00:36:36.382


And the other thing that I brought was on Christmas Eve we get to open all the family gifts.00:36:36.382 --> 00:36:40.210


So we only open Santa gifts on Christmas Day and I love that tradition.00:36:40.210 --> 00:36:46.800


I love that all the family comes over Christmas Eve, we do all the celebrating and then they and it's the Venice Five.00:36:47.050 --> 00:36:48.474


That's my favorite part is when they leave.00:36:49.657 --> 00:36:50.400


You're so rude.00:36:50.400 --> 00:36:55.262


Did you bring anything that you remember from your family?00:36:56.429 --> 00:37:00.402


We used to open them all at Christmas once we found out the secrets.00:37:00.630 --> 00:37:08.023


But is there anything that you brought on purpose to our family from your childhood?00:37:09.070 --> 00:37:13.242


I learned that dinner as a family.00:37:13.242 --> 00:37:14.996


My dad always wanted us to have dinner together.00:37:14.996 --> 00:37:17.695


We always had as much as we could.00:37:17.695 --> 00:37:19.460


We always had dinner together, no matter what.00:37:19.460 --> 00:37:20.702


I love that.00:37:20.702 --> 00:37:22.615


We only went out when I was a kid.00:37:22.615 --> 00:37:41.356


We didn't have a lot of money, so we would go out whenever something amazing happened, like maybe once every five years, my dad was able to treat us and we'd go to Black Angus or we'd go to, which was an old steakhouse it's not like a Steak 44.00:37:41.356 --> 00:37:45.452


But like I don't know what you call it, but it was great.00:37:45.452 --> 00:37:49.126


I still have great memories of that or a place called bobby mcgee's.00:37:49.126 --> 00:37:51.853


There was something fancy and that was fancy to us.00:37:51.853 --> 00:37:55.822


Um, I, you know that's a great question.00:37:55.882 --> 00:37:56.923


Like what did I bring?00:37:56.923 --> 00:37:59.673


I think I brought my dad's sense of humor.00:37:59.673 --> 00:38:08.393


I think I brought, uh, I I look at some of the stuff you guys do young men and I go I joke about.00:38:08.393 --> 00:38:13.914


I always say, oh, when someone says your kids are so nice, oh, they got that all from their mom and I do believe that.00:38:13.914 --> 00:38:21.795


But I see some good qualities that you guys got from me and I think I got those from my dad, my mom, handsome son of a bitch, you.00:38:21.795 --> 00:38:26.663


Uh, let's see what else we have.00:38:26.663 --> 00:38:32.090


Oh, blake, out of all the times, john jay decides to go to a concert.00:38:32.090 --> 00:38:36.320


He wants to take you to backstreet boys in vegas and you don't want to go.00:38:36.320 --> 00:38:36.822


Why?00:38:36.822 --> 00:38:41.096


You remember that yeah, I do.00:38:41.175 --> 00:38:46.625


I was like let's go, let's go back because out of all the concerts in my life, we saw Backstreet Boys in Miami.00:38:46.625 --> 00:38:47.045


Do you remember?00:38:47.045 --> 00:38:48.673


Yes and they were phenomenal.00:38:48.673 --> 00:38:53.777


And to see them at the sphere in Vegas, which is an hour flight, I was like there was an opportunity.00:38:53.777 --> 00:38:55.733


It was the one weekend we had nothing going on.00:38:55.733 --> 00:38:58.940


I was like let's shoot up Saturday and come home Sunday.00:38:58.940 --> 00:39:01.695


But we were leaving, we were going, there was a lot going on.00:39:01.795 --> 00:39:06.101


I think were we taking Dutch to school.00:39:06.844 --> 00:39:07.625


No, no, it was Saturday.00:39:09.010 --> 00:39:09.773


I forgot what was going on.00:39:09.793 --> 00:39:10.896


We were getting ready to go.00:39:10.896 --> 00:39:12.179


We just had a lot going on.00:39:12.179 --> 00:39:12.940


We were going somewhere.00:39:15.447 --> 00:39:19.592


It wasn't because I didn't want to do it, it was because we had commitments and no, we didn't have commitments?00:39:19.612 --> 00:39:20.432


No, we didn't have commitments.00:39:20.432 --> 00:39:26.278


It was just the one day we didn't have something going on, like we were going to take Dutch school that Tuesday, then we were going to go to Mexico for whatever.00:39:26.278 --> 00:39:27.960


We just had a lot Austin.00:39:28.882 --> 00:39:30.143


We were going on, it was one of those.00:39:30.143 --> 00:39:30.583


It was one of those.00:39:30.583 --> 00:39:31.905


We just had a lot going on, okay.00:39:33.492 --> 00:39:36.474


Anyway, okay, I think.00:39:36.474 --> 00:39:36.996


Is there anything else?00:39:36.996 --> 00:39:41.114

because I know you were really hesitant first time I would say pretty okay, I guess I think you did great.00:41:14.143 --> 00:41:17.967


I feel like if I came back on I'd do a little bit better, really, yeah, okay, you want to?00:41:17.987 --> 00:41:28.449


come back tomorrow, I'd love to have you back on part of the deal of you finishing school from our house so you have to do a podcast, you should come back to me for the zombie podcast.00:41:28.851 --> 00:41:32.956


Of course, that would be sick, because I don't even understand that podcast right now.00:41:32.956 --> 00:41:34.349


If you're listening to this, you're like zombie podcast.00:41:34.349 --> 00:41:38.909


Yeah, we got a podcast with a zombie professor at ASU, right?00:41:38.909 --> 00:41:42.510


Anyway, that's our couple's podcast.00:41:42.510 --> 00:41:50.952


Don't dream it, be it, okay.00:41:50.952 --> 00:41:52.155


So welcome to our podcast.00:41:52.155 --> 00:41:59.072


This is a little bit different today, because this podcast is a spinoff of our radio show you.
