Talk about Coppola while you open the glasses now, especially that the scary part's over. We love this wine. We've loved this wine here on the mom game for a very long time, and we also love this wine when we are home and when we are entertaining. And that is, of course, very important right now as these holidays are already upon it. So last week, I said said it was, like, fifty one days, so it's that minus seven. Forty four. Forty four days until Christmas, which is insane. So make sure that you're stocked up. There are so many delicious, wines that you can choose from. Their diamond collection at Francis Ford Coppola is made just for the holidays. Coppola, Claret, Cabernet, Sauvignon is the perfect pairing with all meals. And we're not just saying that this is true. It's a proven fact. They received a ninety three point rating from Wine Enthusiast Magazine. That's the highest rating that that wine has ever received. They also have the new Coppola Shimmer that you've heard us raving about here on the show. It can be found everywhere now. That's been a huge success for them in twenty twenty five. So you know that that's been delicious. And, of course, I'm there a proud supporter of the Do It for Durrett Foundation. Speaker 1

That are Okay. Let's I mean, we're posting all the shit all the time, aren't we? Speaker 0
No shame no shame Speaker 1
in that game. Right? So I'm like, I need some pickleball shoes, like, some paddles, and, also, we build pickleball courts. This is true. And I'm about to take over that company. Speaker 0
Okay. So Okay. Then on second thought, you did the Speaker 1
Thank you. Thank you. Good for court. It does sound cheesy. I don't, like, go update my bio all the time, but I was like, I'm gonna put court sports in my bio. Like, it's kinda And are Speaker 0
football shoes different than tennis shoes? They are. Speaker 1
I just learned that. Speaker 0
Fuck? What are we doing? Speaker 1
I mean, it's a way to make extra money, right, for pickleball people. I think like, I wear tennis shoes. Okay. You can wear tennis shoes, but, apparently, your feet hurt if you're not in pickleball shoes, and my feet do hurt when I play. Speaker 0
Okay. Bigger racket. Mahjong or pickleball? Oh, mahjong. You think so? Speaker 1
Oh my god. Talk about a barrier to entry to learn the freaking game. Speaker 0
Oh my gosh. It's every game much easier to learn. Oh, so much easier to learn. And the and that the setups for mahjong are so Oh my gosh. Effing expensive. Speaker 1
And they know their audience. Right? Speaker 0
Oh, yeah. Rich lady. Yeah. Well, I mean, maybe. I guess, I guess. Speaker 1
Or ladies that wanna look rich. Speaker 0
It's probably a better one. Oh, mahjong. But we, but I love the shit out of That's good. Speaker 1
I love it. People love it. They get into it. Speaker 0
I do. But, yeah, it's expensive. We bought my friend, Tara, didn't have any. And so for her birthday, we kind of all as a group get, you know, one big gift. But we're only doing it year one. This is year one of the book club and the text string, and we're like, okay. We're done with big gifts after this year. Like, we don't have to buy a gift for everyone Speaker 0
Every year. So this we've got one more birthday left, and then we'll we'll cease the gifts. But we were gonna buy our mahjong we kinda mahjong bag has been the kind of the trendy gift among the among the group. And but Tara didn't have any tiles, so I call her husband, and I'm like, so have you got anything for Tara for her birthday yet? He's like, no. What do you want me to do? And I was like, I've got the perfect set figured out and the mats and the pushers and the tiles and the whatever. He's like, just let me know what I owe you. Okay? Speaker 1
Well, that's a good friend. And it's Yeah. Speaker 0
It saves him the trouble. It does. Speaker 0
it all out. But, yeah, mah jong giant racket. Speaker 0
Love it. Pickleball, giant racket. Speaker 1
But if you're talking about, like, a money suck, pickleball isn't really. I mean, you buy the shoes and the paddle, and that's it. Speaker 0
But then you have to pay to play, don't you? Speaker 1
If you're playing somewhere fancy. But there's courts all over. Speaker 0
Like Just right right now. Speaker 1
Centers and like, I play at the rec center Okay. By our house. Speaker 1
So it's not a I mean, if you really wanna get hardcore, I'm sure you can you can pay for lessons and everything else. But just all you need is a and you don't need the shoes. Yeah. All you need is a paddle and a Speaker 0
ball and a court. Right. Yeah. I feel like I need to win my second tennis match of all time before I focus my attention on any others. Speaker 1
But you could officially transfer your allegiances to pickleball and then not worry about tennis. Speaker 0
I don't I don't think so. Speaker 1
Well, that's fine. I like tennis too. So Okay. Speaker 0
Well yeah. And you can you're a two sport athlete. Speaker 0
Obviously, I can only do one sport at Speaker 1
height of height. You also this is what I say about both, actually. You have a lot of time to, like, shift gears and play another sport in life. Right? Like, we're gonna need hobbies as, like, sixty plus year olds. Like, that's when pickleball that's when we can really shine at pickleball. I also say that's when I'm gonna learn to garden. And, like, I'm like, I don't wanna do all that stuff now. What will I do when I'm sixty? Yeah. We're gonna when we're retired and our kids are grown. Oh, okay. Yeah. That's Like, save some stuff. Speaker 0
Save okay. Alright. I like I like the I like the premise part. Mhmm. Yeah. Okay. So for should we start with a giant cheers? Like, are we bearing the lead here? Speaker 1
Well, yes. And then we can yes. Let's do. Okay. Speaker 0
We have to. Wait. Wait. Wait. Wait. Wait. Wait. Wait. Wait. Well, first of all, first, I just wanna explain why I'm casual. I can't stay over here. First of all, I love this sweatsuit. It's it let's talk about a racket, Aviator Nation. Total racket. Total racket. Speaker 1
I just got a one on Facebook today for fifteen dollars for Anna. Speaker 0
But I will did you? Like a jacket. Yeah. But I will tell you, this is the most comfortable sweatsuit I've ever put on in my entire life. Really? It's not flattering, but it's cute. Like, it's like, the I love the design. I love the whatever. But it is literally, it's like wearing a blanket. Speaker 0
Like a lightweight blanket. Makes me really happy. Speaker 0
Because I've been trying to be better about, like, wearing makeup on the show and, like, dressing presentably and all looking put together blow drying my hair. But I've just come to the conclusion that I can basically only do that one day a week. Yeah. Like, I can only get presentable one day a week. And we had an event last night. Speaker 1
Isn't it beautiful? Speaker 0
Just doing it one day a week. Yesterday was the only day I could I could And Speaker 1
you were coming off that last night. Right? Speaker 0
Right. I was like, woah. There's no way I can go back and Yeah. Dry my hair again Speaker 0
And put on make like, full makeup and pick out an outfit. Yeah. So, anyway, not that anyone needed that or cared to hear about my outfit choices. That's the Speaker 1
But I think it's relatable for moms. It's like that yesterday, I made it all day in my slippers. I went to school pickup in my UGG slippers. I was like, this is bad, Julie. Speaking of slippers, I feel like Speaker 0
you can get away with it, UGG slippers. Yeah. Speaker 1
Because I can see Speaker 0
the way I go get coffee in the morning. It's despicable. Like, it's embarrassing. And I don't care. Speaker 1
No. Well, you haven't had your coffee yet. Speaker 0
I don't care. And I've already worked out. I'm sweaty AF. Sometimes I have a bra, and sometimes I don't. I'm usually wearing socks and my plastic Birkenstocks. Like, it's I am a disheveled mess. And there's it I see a minimum of two people in there every morning, and I'm just like and they're always just kinda like and then if I go in there and they'll be, like like, you know, dressed Yeah. And, like, ready for the day Yeah. They'll be like, woah. Wow. You look so pretty. Speaker 1
That's, like, so nice. Speaker 0
And I'm like, do you realize that my bar is so very low Yeah. That literally if I just, like, put a brush through my hair, it's it's a drastic difference. Speaker 1
Well, that's why I forced the Tuesdays too because I'm like, I need one day. Speaker 0
And you look beautiful today. Speaker 1
Well, thank you. Speaker 0
I love that dress, and your hair looks good. You have some makeup, and you look really cute. Speaker 1
I found I found this in the closet. I bought it and kinda forgot about it. It's really cute. Thank you. Speaker 0
Yeah. Cute. I know. Speaker 1
Our pictures will be like the odd couple. It will be. But it's fine. It'll be beauty and the beast. It'll be no. It'll be cash and cash and fancy. Okay. Speaker 0
Wait. So we have to cheers because I we we're gonna delve into it in sports courts. Yeah. Speaker 1
But I said to Jasmine as we walked in, it's step one. Step one. You gotta fire Nico. He's gone. He's gone. Nico's gone. Today, the day we're shooting. Speaker 0
Yeah. So So for those of you who don't know, and if you're not a huge Mavericks fan, you may not have followed all the drama, but there's been a lot. They traded, Luka Doncic, who is a generational, incredible player. Was that for you for six plus, almost seven seasons, traded him midseason last year, in February because of the recommendation of Nico Harrison. And it the the backlash was unlike anything I've ever seen. Speaker 0
Fans were so distraught and pissed and angry and sad and all the emotions. And then they luck into the number one pick in the draft. Mhmm. Get Cooper Flagg, who was the number one overall pick without question. And then ever that kind of subsided, like, everyone's angst and anxiety and anger and all that kind of stuff. And then they've started the season sucking mightily. Yep. And so I think that put the pressure on, and Speaker 1
he gone. He's gone. It was you almost thought, like, what's it gonna take? Like, why isn't this happen? You I almost thought it was gonna happen already, and the fact that it hadn't made me think it was never gonna happen. You know? Speaker 0
But okay. But how could it happen if the own the people who are calling those shots, which are the Dumonts Yeah. The Adelsons or whatever. I don't understand the whole new ownership dynamic period anyway. I'm a Mavericks fan, but I'm not a diehard Yeah. With them. So I don't really understand that whole dynamic. But how could they do it quickly if they signed off on the trade of Luca? That they so they They had Speaker 1
to give it some runway? Speaker 0
Right. Because they signed off on it. Speaker 1
Alright. Because So you Speaker 0
could trade Luca Speaker 1
admit that they don't know what the fuck Speaker 0
they're doing. But it's not like you could trade Luca one week and then two weeks later fire Nico. Like, that doesn't make any sense. Speaker 1
I know. I thought it happened, like, the off season, though, or something. Speaker 0
But but what justification would you have there? Speaker 1
I don't know. It was the worst trade of all time. Like, everyone agrees. Speaker 0
Right. But they signed off on it. Speaker 0
on it. So they would just be basing it cut your losses. Basing it on the backlash Yeah. If they would base it on the backlash. Well yeah. They couldn't base it on anything basketball related because they signed off on it. Right. Yeah. And so now are they trying to, like, tuck their tail between their legs and say, oh, we effed up? Speaker 1
I think because they have, like, a solid I mean, what are they right now? They're three and eight. Eleven games is not, like, a giant sample size, but they should But the teams Speaker 0
they've lost to. Speaker 0
And, like, something should be lost to a really bad team. Speaker 1
Sort of working to give you some semblance of Yeah. Like, oh, this was the right decision, and they have there's been nothing. Yeah. And they obviously did blindly trust the general manager who was here before they came. Speaker 0
And made some really good moves along the way. Speaker 1
We didn't always hate Nico. No. Like, we thought, like, oh, he's yeah. He's done some good things. So but, yeah, I think at this point, it's like it's just I mean, it's it's laughable as we all know Yeah. That trade. And did you see the clip? I kinda think that this might have had something to do with it too. Did you see the clip of Patrick Dumont getting, like, booed? Oh, no. So, like, he walked in a couple of games ago to a home game, and the whole like, people were all booing him. And he sat down, and you could see him kinda, like, whisper to the guy next to him, like, is that for me? Speaker 0
Like, yes. It's for you. Speaker 1
And so he probably had this, like, light bulb moment, like, this, they hate me too. Like, I have to do like Yeah. I like, if you're a if you're an ego person at all, like, that hurts, and he is an ego per ego person, I think. I don't Speaker 0
think anyone enjoys getting booed in an arena full of feet. Like, that would suck. Speaker 1
He bought he and his rich family bought this team thinking they were gonna, like, be kinda famous probably and be kinda cool and, like, everyone's gonna love them and they're gonna get all these whatever. Like, what everything that goes along with owning a professional team, and you're getting booed in your own arena. Speaker 1
Like and you could see he was mortified when this happened. So I'm sure then you're, like, going back and you're like, okay. This is some real shit. Yeah. These people hate me, and I'm getting booed. Okay. Let's, like, let's Yeah. I haven't I haven't seen that one. I that's my theory Speaker 1
That, like, when that happened, it was, like, okay. Speaker 0
Enough's enough. Speaker 1
Yeah. But, I mean, it's it's it's who knows what the Mavs are gonna even be able to do this year? Yeah. Who knows what they're gonna, like, whoever they hire is gonna have a Well and what's the GM gonna do Speaker 0
at this point? I guess you could finagle with the trade deadline. Speaker 1
And Kyrie to get healthy. Yeah. Like, things things like that are Speaker 0
worth it. Davis has them. Play with what's his deal? He's God bless him. Speaker 1
He's not healthy either. And I guess when you saw, like, the we can get more into it in sports. We should keep skipping. I kind of got all sportsy. But, but, yeah, we can talk about all that and hope Speaker 0
So, Michael Finley, and who's the other one taking over as the GMs? There's another one. Something with the r. Michael Finley and Matt Speaker 0
Matt Riccardi taking over as GMs. Check text messages, Glenn says. My phone's waiting. My whole thing is if you really wanna start getting back in good graces with Mavericks fans Uh-huh. Hire our boy. Speaker 1
Hire a boy? Our boy. Our boy. Speaker 0
Dirk. Oh. Oh, Do you think there's any chance in the world Dirk would do this? Yes. You do? Speaker 1
I do. I wonder savior once again? Speaker 0
Well, but if like, he would have to be, like, you're gonna you're deferring to me for everything. Like, you're you're not gonna be micromanaging me. That's Right. Yeah. Because Dirk's not gonna come in and be a a pushover for anyone.
Speaker 1
Publicly blasted the team on TNT or whatever.
Speaker 1
wonder if that had something to do with it. Like saying it was a disastrous
Speaker 0
question. And there's another misstep that they made, and I don't know if it was Nico or the new ownership group, but to you don't distance yourself at all from Dirk Nowitzki. You smother him like the legend that he is, and you don't let him out of your sight. And you Yes. Sawn all over him, and you tell him how much you love him every day and how grateful you are that he stuck with your organization for as many years as he did, you grovel at him and, tell him that what his wish is your command. Like, period. Yep. End of story. And they f that up too. They did. So that's my suggestion.
Speaker 1
Yeah. And I guess, when we get to sports, I can read, Dumont sent a letter or kinda acknowledged it and spoke about the firing of Nico today. So Okay. We can dip into that a little bit more in sports.
Speaker 0
Okay. Quick little catch up. Yeah. What do we I don't even know what I did this weekend. I did have solo time on my back porch. Oh, that looked nice. Glass of wine, fire pit on, in my Lola blanket, reading a book for two hours by myself. Wow.
Speaker 1
It was That's amazing.
Speaker 0
And it weather outside was perfect. Mhmm. It was so glorious. Where do we get everybody? Sports. Henry went with friends. They all went to the Paschal football game.
Speaker 0
So Paschal's our feeder school. That's the high school my kids will go to. So they went and watched that, that football game, and I decided not to go. I was like, I'm I'm good Yeah.
Speaker 1
On that. That's lovely.
Speaker 0
Yes. So, yeah, it was great.
Speaker 1
And the Lola Blink is amazing.
Speaker 0
They're so soft. They're so different. Like, somebody might who someone who will remain nameless, they're I told their child they could have another one, and she's like, oh, I'll buy you another one. I said, you don't have to. They get I you know, we got we get discount, whatever. So she brought me a a replacement, and I was like,
Speaker 0
But I didn't care. I mean, I I told the I told the girl she could have it because I was wanting to have it. Her
Speaker 1
to experience it.
Speaker 0
I wanted her to experience it, and she was whipping my ass up one side and down the other.
Speaker 1
About the Lola blanket?
Speaker 0
Yes. She was just Okay.
Speaker 1
Really wanted it.
Speaker 0
Yes. And and I can identify because my daughter's the same way and friendly. I was like I mean, we were all everybody was hanging out, and I was like, if this will get you to to to stop whipping my ass, I will absolutely give it to you. It's fine. Great. Great. Have it. So, anyway but they are different. It's they're so warm. I put it on my bed. So Henry sleeps it. On top of his covers under the Lola blanket.
Speaker 1
So he doesn't even get any covers. Mhmm.
Speaker 0
He sleeps just with the Lola blanket.
Speaker 1
Same. Writers taken because we have a few. We're very lucky.
Speaker 0
I know. We're very lucky.
Speaker 1
One's still in my closet
Speaker 1
Wrapped because I'm like, do I sit give this to someone? Seriously?
Speaker 0
We have three. Yeah. We have three each. One goes in the like, where we can get it out for the living room, and then one's in Henry's room, one's in Hattie's room.
Speaker 1
Oh, so you had four?
Speaker 0

Speaker 0
Yes. Don't just buy one without our code.
Speaker 1
Yeah. It'll save
Speaker 0
you money. So, yeah, pretty uneventful weekend. We're gonna talk about my Red Raiders and sports courts. Yes. We'll talk about that. Anything else?
Speaker 1
We just had sports, Raiders hockey team is coming along. We we're in a very sad sports season where no one we don't win any games.
Speaker 1
But we're playing the sports. In in soccer, the goal was to keep him playing. Kelly and I put together a team of people that didn't have a team from who knows where they go to school or we didn't know any of them. Let's go. We knew three, I should say. And we've lost every game but one, and the scores are usually, like, eight to one or nine to zero. We did score three goals on Sunday, But I did just feel like it was important because he wanted to play soccer, and we're playing soccer. Like, you're getting better. You're running around on a Saturday or a in a Sunday instead of sitting in on the couch asking for roadblocks. Sure. So, that's what but, you know, I don't know if the other parents all feel my way, and Kelly's the coach. So I feel kinda bad, but what are you gonna do? I'm like, we got this team together. So Yeah. Hopefully, they're happy. Don't ever apologize for losing
Speaker 0
as a as a if you're a coach and of youth sports. Do not ever apologize for that because that your job as a coach is to provide a good experience to where my whole goal when I was coaching softball, I would always tell the girls my goal is for you to want to learn, and I want you to keep I want you to want to keep playing. Yeah. I want because I I want you to have had a good enough experience to where you're like, you know what? I wanna give that a try again. I wanna try to play another season, and it maybe we'll be better. Maybe I'll be better. But even when we weren't good, it's like, I just want you to I want you to have fun, play hard, be a good teammate, and I want you to to wanna play again. Yep. You know? I don't want it to be such an experience because my kids have had those experiences where they've been like, I am out on that. And it was a lot because of the coach.
Speaker 0
And because of the way things were running. It's like, it that's that's your only that's your only, in my opinion, responsibility as a youth sports coach.
Speaker 1
And I think that's I agree. But I think that is where I feel, like, if you never win, then maybe it's not
Speaker 0
a good experience. Yeah. But it's hard to get your teeth kicked in.
Speaker 1
But I'll tell you what, it is Kelly is a good like, he's kind, and he's a good coach. He's a wonderful coach. He's a career coach.
Speaker 0
I don't doubt that.
Speaker 1
Yeah. And so hopefully, like, we've seen other coaches just screaming their heads off at games and, you know, we're not we're not that. So we're not getting the w's, but we're hopefully have creating a a nice, at least, atmosphere.
Speaker 0
It's good to let them fail.
Speaker 0
Let I mean, learn how to lose
Speaker 1
have, like, anyone that can score goals. Like, we don't have really, like, forwards.
Speaker 0
I don't even know what forwards are in soccer.
Speaker 1
And the ones that score, the strikers.
Speaker 1
And but there's whatever. And it's just, he's he's not a soccer guy. Like, he's Yeah. He's out there the other day, and he's like, okay. We gotta get when when the puck comes up Yeah. When the the soccer and then, you know, he's calling them all wingers, which isn't hockey, but it's cute. Like Yes. But they're playing soccer. Yeah. And then his hockey team had a really great game. They lost one to zero, but we have really lopsided, losses in that as well. So it's kinda double time right now for Ryder, but they played really well this past game, and Ryder's playing really well. And he's loving it, so I'm happy because he needed something. Yeah. You know? And he's into it and playing a lot.
Speaker 0
Well and it's good too for these kids to experience failure, you know, at different points. Right? Like, you know, there we there's certain times when, like, all you all you know is winning, like, and you're just surrounded by these you're on the super team, and they've been playing together since they were in kindergarten and all that kind of stuff. And then, you know, all those the ability to form your own team and cherry pick people goes away, and you realize it's not you're not the real world. It's not, and you're not gonna win all the time. Yep. You learn so much more from losing than you do from winning. Yeah.
Speaker 1
I know. It's Learning a lot this year. Yeah. So But hockey does go through February, which is kinda cool because I feel like they're just finally getting their footing and, like, learning the positions, and there's some people that just learn to skate. You know? Yeah. But it's so fun. It's super fun to watch. So that was our weekend. Anna's doing the she's learning to play hockey too. She wants to play flag football. Dude. The l is important in flag football, by the way. I just screwed that up. The what?
Speaker 0
The l. Did you just say l? I just Did you say flag football without the l? I did. You you missed me? I did miss that.
Speaker 1
Called myself out. Gosh. Julie.
Speaker 0
I will say flag football is so fun. So we just wrapped Hattie just wrapped up her season. That speaking of super team, which wasn't on purpose, but they're back to back champions two times. They I don't think they've lost.
Speaker 1
Hattie's team? They are So are they super athletic?
Speaker 0
They're all athletic, and so we played we've played up every year. So, like, we've it like, last year, it was fifth and sixth graders, so we had to play against sixth graders, won the championship then, had to play sixth and sixth and seventh this year, played up, and then they won again.
Speaker 1
I might need your your tips.
Speaker 0
And I will well, you can talk to Mike McCoy. He's the offensive coordinator.
Speaker 0
And I will tell you it is the most fun. It's a rolling clock. So it's forty five minutes. You've got two twenty minute halves. It the clock never stops. You got a five minute halftime. It it's, I mean, it's quick paced. It's so fun.
Speaker 1
I highly, highly, highly recommend. Y'all have all girls. Right? Yes. This would be mixed, I think. And I wonder if it's the same experience.
Speaker 0
I don't know. Well, I wonder because this is, like, this is sponsored by the NFL. Yeah. Like, this I say sponsored. It's effing expensive too. Everything is expensive. Everything. But it's so fun.
Speaker 1
It is I don't think they have one near us.
Speaker 0
That's so weird. Y'all you should inquire about it.
Speaker 0
And if you want, I'll put you in touch with the guy who brought it to Fort Worth. Sure. Because I was it's so fun.
Speaker 1
Yeah. Well, I've heard you talking about it. Yeah. And, like and Anna, there's one little girl that played on the the dad league, not the league league, but there's a dad league at our school on Sundays.
Speaker 0
Y'all have a whole separate league that's run by dads. It's
Speaker 1
Tell me about it. I know. And that was actually Ryder's favorite because they made a point to, like, get everyone the ball and stuff, but they canceled that. Our people canceled that early so everyone could go focus on the tackle. So he didn't even get that this year. So he's had zero football and now doesn't like football, which is sad. But there was a girl that played in the dad league, only one girl, and Anna was jealous, but I'd already bought her cheer stuff. Like, you can't be a cheerleader and a player, but that same girl is playing in this. And they've invited Anna because I mentioned that she was interested. So I think it would be, like, the two of them and then boys. Yeah. Maybe there's more girls. But I would love to hear connect with them.
Speaker 0
It's super, super fun. Yeah. Yeah. Like, football's awesome.
Speaker 0
yeah. So I don't, I don't know if anything else really exciting.
Speaker 1
I'm going to Vegas soon. Oh, that's right. Actually, Thursday. Two days. So I'll have all those stories on the next week's
Speaker 0
Yeah. Episode. I'm not going to Vegas. Yeah. So you're going for the BravoCon thing?
Speaker 1
Well, my we are going to that on Thursday, and I think that's the only day. The rest, we're just doing all the Vegas things.

Oh, yeah. Well, tell me again. What do I do okay? Refresh my memory. Because we did have fun at Choctaw.
Speaker 0
Yeah. Split on aces. Okay. Don't split on eights.
Speaker 0
Hit on soft seventeen. Yep.
Speaker 1
What else? Okay. Those are good tips. Yeah. Because I'm I'd like to play a little. I mean, I'm not a big as you know, like, I'll be, like, twenty dollars and be like, oh, I don't wanna don't wanna play any more than that.
Speaker 0
I I haven't gambled in forever I haven't gambled since we went to Chalk River.

Mhmm. Is that on your computer, or is it on your phone? Okay. I'll read it. Dear Mavs family, on May thirtieth twenty twenty four, the Mavericks won the Western Conference championship. Okay. I don't have all the time for all this. Blah blah blah. Came up short in the finals. No one associated We know. We know. Commitment to success. I made the decision to oh, wait. No one associated with the Mavericks organization is happy with the start of what we all believe to be a promising seasons. You have high expectations for the Mavericks, and I shared them with you. Results haven't met expectations. Nico's fired. Majority of the season remains to be played. Players are deeply committed. Decision was critical to moving forward with our franchise. Understand the profound impact these difficult last several months have had. Please know that I am fully committed to the success of the Mavericks. Thanks for your support. Our goal is to return winning basketball to Dallas. You wouldn't have to return it if you didn't ship it off to the Lakers. Like, what are we doing?
Speaker 1
Did they own up to that at all in this letter? No. Please join me
Speaker 0
in continuing mistake. On our players and supporting all of those who work to make this organization the best it can be. Patrick Dumont.
Speaker 1
And please stop booing me. Basically. Thank you, Patrick. Well, he wrote a letter. At least he's trying. Is he? I don't know. It's sad.
Speaker 0
The whole thing we we're we're gonna return to to winning. You wouldn't have to return anywhere. You would have been living
Speaker 0
winning island if you wouldn't have gotten rid of Nico. Like I mean, not Nico. I've got rid of Luca.
Speaker 1
Yeah. Yep. You deserve transparency and a team that reflects your spirit. I mean, it's just such a disaster. It's a disaster. Just such a mess.
Speaker 0
And they hired our friend Gina Miller. Yes. God bless you.
Speaker 0
God bless you. I will say, though, I think she's gonna be great. Yeah. Because she she has a media background. She knows what it's like to have dealt with, you know, ownership groups and coaches and players that aren't transparent and how obvious it is when you can just see right through that.
Speaker 1
Mhmm. Unless it's me.
Speaker 0
She'll guide them well.
Speaker 1
Like and she's been here a long time, and she covered the Mavs for a long time. Oh, yeah. She worked With TXA twenty one and all that. So Yeah. They need to lean on her.
Speaker 0
Like, they because they You know what they need to do? They need to let her do her job.
Speaker 0
They need to let her do her job. Job.
Speaker 1
Because this ownership group is brand new. Right? Like, you need someone that's been there.
Speaker 1
fired most people that have been there.
Speaker 0
don't think they did that with the last regime of communications people. They didn't let them do their job. Right. And so, hopefully, Gina has put her foot down and said, if you're bringing me in here, I'm doing this the way I know it's supposed to be done Yeah. Because she does. Yeah. So, anyway, godspeed, Gina.
Speaker 0
We need to have her we'll have her on when things simmer down.
Speaker 0
She's fantastic. She's filled in for you or me? Or
Speaker 1
She filled in for you. Yeah. Yeah. We had a Euro show together. Yeah. I think it was, like, Cinco de Mayo or something. Yeah.
Speaker 0
Yeah. She's great. She's great. Okay. We're gonna put that to bed until next week because I'm sure there's gonna be a million things that come out between now.
Speaker 1
One last thing. Like, what a I just keep thinking about, like, the current players through all this.
Speaker 1
Like, what a sideshow and, like, their professional athletes
Speaker 0
Cooper Flagg is eighteen. Yeah. He is four years older than
Speaker 1
Henry McCoy. Whole life, like, for this opportunity. Oh my gosh.
Speaker 0
Cooper Flagg is four years older than Henry McCoy, than my than my child.
Speaker 1
Ryder and I actually talked about that the other day.
Speaker 0
Like, how And he's having to deal with flag
Speaker 1
and how young he is. Yeah.
Speaker 0
Like, he's pretty what the fuck?
Speaker 1
He's like, this is what I worked my ass off for my whole life to have the opportunity to come play in the NBA and deal with this?
Speaker 0
No. I've got sideshow Adleman, Dumont, whatever. So who I don't even understand the Adleman's and the Dumont's.
Speaker 1
It's like, Dumont is like the stepson of Adleman.
Speaker 0
Oh, okay. So they're all same family
Speaker 1
or something. Yeah. Same family.
Speaker 0
Okay. Enough on the dysfunctional Mavericks.
Speaker 1
They're dysfunctional. Dysfunctional. We are perfect here. Yes. We're not dysfunctional at all.
Speaker 0
Okay. We definitely need to talk about what happened right after well, not right after, but last week
Speaker 0
After we shot our show. Yeah. And that was the awful, awful, awful passing of Marshawn Neland. Yep. Dallas Cowboys' defensive was he defensive lineman? Defensive end. Defensive end. Took his own life. Apparently, he was going through a mental health episode, and the report started coming out, I think, Thursday morning. And then kind of by the my by maybe midday, midafternoon, started to get kind of a clearer picture on what was going on. And I don't think we need to I think it's been, you know, in the news cycle for long enough that we don't need to, you know go through the whole, you know, timeline and all that kind of stuff. But the bottom line is to have a current player, twenty four years old, take his own life, and not that it mattered, but during the season, it just does add a a really different dynamic to the rest of this cowboy season. Mhmm.
Speaker 1
It's a perspective check. Right? Dude. Like, more than anything, like, it you get so bogged down in winning and losing and football
Speaker 0
and Yeah. And he had just Monday night football the night
Speaker 0
He scored his first first touchdown as a As a foul boy. Yeah.
Speaker 1
Yeah. And and the story just sounds like a wild one. You know? Like, the car chase and everything else, it's it's just terrible. And it's just another, like, call out to, like, mental health awareness. And because I think a lot of the players I was reading, like, some of their reactions, and there were a lot that are just like, you never know. Like, you never know what somebody's going through. Yeah. This guy was jovial, like, happy. Like, people loved him, wanted to be around him. He had a wonderful girlfriend, I guess, and maybe a baby. But, you know, just you wouldn't suspect.
Speaker 0
I didn't think they he had children.
Speaker 1
I didn't either, but I heard one person say baby.
Speaker 1
Yeah. So it's just crazy. It's just terrible and sad and to and check on your friends. And if you know people that are struggling Yeah. Then then check on them and help them and do anything you can. If you know that someone's feeling a certain way, be that person that helps and makes a difference.
Speaker 1
I do think Schottenheimer's probably a great coach for this Yeah. Hundred percent. To to help the team through this. I think Dak's a wonderful captain, leader to help the team through this. I heard they had
Speaker 0
Solomon Thomas also had a sibling, similar to Dak, had a sibling who, took his own took their own life on him.
Speaker 1
But it was So there's, like, a couple of them on the team who had siblings. Yeah. And he, Solomon Thomas, I was just reading this quote that he said that it like, they had a big emotional team meeting that was, like, exactly what they needed. You can't go practice. You can't go be like, let's watch some film. Like Yeah. What do you do, but you still wanna gather and and help each other out and be there for each other. And he just said it was it was he said, I've never been around a program that's done something like that before. It's a testament to Schottenheimer and his love for us because we needed that today. We needed a day to be human and to cry and to let everyone know how we felt draining and hard day, hard for everyone involved, hard for everyone to love Marshawn. It meant a lot for Schottenheimer to conduct the day like he did Yeah. After they all got that news, and you go in there and, like, his locker's sitting there. Like, how do you go on with it's just terrible. And that is one thing I love about sports is is the, like, the camaraderie and the brotherhood and and all of that, and they can help each other through the hard situations. But that's just something, you know, you don't you don't especially midseason, it's, like, just so tough.
Speaker 0
Yeah. It's awful. It's it's absolutely terrible. And you almost, you know I mean, obviously, this cowboy season has not gone according to plan. Yeah. But you almost I don't know. I mean, it's like I I I don't wanna say give him a pass, but fuck. I mean, you know, man, you lose a teammate midseason.
Speaker 0
It's Yeah. It's it's just awful. So, yeah. So, obviously, even though people yell at me, thoughts and prayers to, you know, his family and and those who loved him.
Speaker 0
Definitely. So, okay. Happier stuff? Yeah. Ready to move on to happier stuff?
Speaker 1
Happy for you had a great weekend. Oh my gosh.
Speaker 0
I am so proud to be a Red Raider right now. I cannot even tell you. First of all, I I don't know how much you saw of, you know, kind of, like, Raiderville and the week leading up to College GBA. But I texted Joey McGuire on Saturday morning, and I just said effing master class in public relations. Like, it could not and and I don't know that I don't that wasn't the intention was to, like, we're gonna, you know, do everything right or whatever. But, like, they there would be one, you know, one hour, there would be, like, a a worship, you know
Speaker 0
People singing and doing a, you know, kind of a worship in Raider, but there was, like, two thousand students there. They allowed them to, like as juxtapositional as it is, it like, they allowed them to, like, bring they had kegs, and they had party they had party like, no one was going anywhere. So it's like they brought the party to tent city, which is what they had set up to wait in line to get to college game day, to get in the game. And they kind of just let them be and let them police themselves. They would bring them meals, like different, you know, businesses would show up with meals. I know our my friend Kyle Wright at Chimmy's took over, like, two thousand burritos and, like Mhmm. It was such a cool like, it my nephew, Jacob, was there from Tuesday night on. Oh, wow. And, you know, he would go to like, they would take shifts or whatever. But I was like, that he's gonna remember that week Mhmm. For the rest of his life. That's so fun. He will remember it forever. And there wasn't, like it wasn't angry. There wasn't fighting. There wasn't there was, like, it would be, like I said, worship and, you know, at dawn or dusk. Dusk. Dawn is in the morning. And then, like, nine o'clock hits, and they've got, like, a DJ. And it
Speaker 1
is, like, a fucking cold one.
Speaker 0
It was And they slept
Speaker 0
Slept in tents. Like, who knows? Some of them probably scattered and went back to their dorms or their apartments or whatever. But what what was happening there was so cool to see from afar, like and as a Texas Tech alum and wanting so bad to be relevant on the college football scene and being such a red headed stepchild for so many years, it made me like, and granted, I wanted to win that game, obviously. But I was like, to just be able to show, like, you know, the country, like, we are a legit fan base. Yeah. We've got we know how to do shit right. We're not just about throwing tortillas and Right. Whatever. Like, we're it's a I just was proud. I was just so proud. Yeah. And the team came out on Saturday. And I will tell you, Hattie had two volleyball games, and I left early for the second one from the second one because I just wanted to get I wanted to see the whole game. I wanted to see every snap. And my mom came over, and I had stuff to do. I was trying to get the sound system working or whatever, and I, like, crashed out over. She's like then my friend, Lisa, came over. She's like, maybe I should just go home. And I was like, no. I'm gonna be fine. I just need to get everything settled so I could watch this game.
Speaker 0
And then they just fucking dominated.
Speaker 0
Dominated. Like, they need to score more in the red zone. They need to score more touchdowns. They're scoring field goals. They scored five field goals in the
Speaker 0
We need to score touchdowns. It takes. So that's my only complaint. We just need to tighten it up in the red zone. We need to score touchdowns in the end zone. But other than that, my team looks so good, and I was so proud. Jacob Rodriguez is a fucking animal. I am obsessed with him and his story. His wife, Emma, is a Blackhawk fucking helicopter pilot. Cool. She's such a badass. I she's on my list of people I would like to get on the show, and I think she moved up to, like, number two behind maybe she's number one. Oh, I don't I don't know. I don't have a list. We're act hypothetical, but I would love to get her on the show. And you know who else I would love to get on the show is Debbie McGuire. And I think Debbie would come on. So Debbie's Joey's wife. And, like, just the the stuff that she does to, you know, to facilitate there's I mean, yes. Joey's a great coach, and all these college football coaches do a lot. Their wives do so much, like, thinking of little things. Mhmm. Like, I saw her making gift baskets, gift bags for the college game game day crew and, like, just different things like that. Anyway, I could go on for a million years about my Red Raiders and how proud I am. But I am so proud, not only because they won that game and now we gotta take care of business the next two weeks, but more than anything, the way that that administration and every the students handled themselves, like, to just have that such a fun atmosphere
Speaker 0
And make that such a part of the that should be the fabric of college sports. And to for them to be able to experience that and for me to get to see it as an alum made me so stinking proud.
Speaker 1
That must have been awesome.
Speaker 0
I know. Yeah. Well, congrats. Thank you.
Speaker 1
I've got a lot at you, and then the gal I'm going to Vegas with is a tech person.
Speaker 1
And I love a lot of tech people. And so it's really exciting to see everyone's so excited. Yeah. It's good. You know, it's super fun. And then on the other side of the coin, the Aggies also having a really great season.
Speaker 0
They are scared.
Speaker 1
And we played them. Yeah.
Speaker 0
But what's y'all have your third string?
Speaker 1
We had our third string quarterback. He was freshman Yeah. First start Yeah. Against the number three team in the country.
Speaker 1
And they're they're And we didn't, like, get killed. Like, the score wasn't great, but it was I that was the one I missed, unfortunately, the tech game because we had morning stuff Yeah. Sports. But I finally settled in, and Ryder and I, like, for the first time watched the whole game together. Yeah. Like, you know, and he was cute because he was like, we, us, like, about the zoo. And I was like, yes. But the Aggies are good, and I'm actually happy for them. Like, I've got a lot of families, Aggies.
Speaker 0
Strange as it is for me to say.
Speaker 0
am too. I mean, because they've been I mean, as much as they don't wanna hear it or acknowledge it or admit it, they've been the stepchild too.
Speaker 1
They have. They have. Done. And they lose they, like, can't win the big games Yep. And all that. You know? I feel Mizzou is that way. We can't win the big games either, but we're not as expected to as the Aggies. Like, the Aggies are supposed to win, like, the whole, like, Jimbo experience and all that. Like, they are supposed they have the donors. They have the money. Like, they are
Speaker 0
They've had it forever. Like, people coming at me about, like, oh, well, Cody Campbell bought that team or bought best best defense money can buy. Shut the f up. You have got to be kidding me. Because let me tell you how much money A and M and Texas and all these programs have been sitting on for how many years? Don't come at me with that. Do not even try to come at me with that. They're just now trying to get on this level playing field. Like, sorry.
Speaker 1
I am not They're finally getting
Speaker 0
I'm not listening to you Right. At all at all. Yeah. Well, college football has been great. This Yeah. And, obviously, I'm biased because it's been a good year for my Red Raiders. But, Who do y'all have next? Anyway, we, play use host UCF this weekend and then at West Virginia. Okay. But, I mean, you you still you've got I mean, you have to take care of business. Like, you can't, you know, you can't have a letdown. And Baron Warren's got
Speaker 1
eight. Yeah. Well, that's exciting.
Speaker 0
It is. And I've said this. Like, I would love to play a and m, but also the a and m like, somebody asked me, like, would you rather play Texas or a and m? And I'm like, oh, I'd much rather play Texas because I think it would I think it would be a much I think I think A and M is a much more complete team.
Speaker 1
Yeah. Well, and they play each other Thanksgiving weekend, so that'll be good too. And Austin again, like, finally, like, yes. This is what we needed. We need these rivalries back. Like Agreed. It's so fun. God. How come the ball's
Speaker 0
so fun. It is. And I love it so much.
Speaker 1
It's funny because we were thinking about going to Ohumizu, and we haven't gotten tickets from the person that we thought might help us get tickets. But I told Kelly, I was like, yeah, I don't really care anymore. Like, I would still go, but, like, I think, oh, you will probably beat us, and I only wanted to go if I felt good about Mizzou. Like, our quarterbacks hurt.
Speaker 1
It's a lot to travel and invest in going to a game. So we might just stay here and actually let him coach the soccer team that he coaches, which you're gonna miss two days.
Speaker 0
And then you can like, I I know I was talking about, like, I'm scared to even talk about the big twelve championship. Mhmm. But then I'm like, do I want to be there, or do I just want to, like like, I loved watching every play from my couch. And, like, my mom was there, which god bless Carol.
Speaker 0
She Nana. She was asking a lot of questions, and I was like, I just it's not the time for questions.
Speaker 0
She was asking what kind of bird it was. Yeah. So I don't know. I gotta figure out a strategy. Like, if I'm I think Mike's gonna be out of town. The kids say they wanna go to the Big twelve championship game if we go. I'm I'm trying to figure all that out, but then I'm like
Speaker 1
Is it a eighteenth year? World.
Speaker 0
Yeah. But I'm like, god. It's it I feel like it's so expensive. Like
Speaker 1
Yeah. I don't know. We'll see.
Speaker 0
And then also too, I'm like, I you can't be presumptuous. We can't just act like we're a shoe in. Like, we still have to win two more games to get in that game. So Mhmm. I don't know. I don't know. We'll see. But Yeah. Yeah. If anyone's got any hookups, sweet or anything at AT and T Stadium, I'll alert you, girl. Okay. Paul. You wanna get some, feed stuff in? Yes. Okay.

Speaker 1
on our website. Coupon codes.
Speaker 0
For sure. Yeah. Okay. So this one is funny, and I thought of of you. And, actually, me. Hattie is still in this category. Mhmm. The average parent fields forty six questions per day from their kid. According to a new report from Talker Research, that is the number. Most of the time, questions aren't that difficult, but parents say they typically find themselves without answers about thirty
Speaker 1
five questions. We can all admit this. Kids ask hard questions.
Speaker 0
They do. And they just like, and some of the questions are repeat questions
Speaker 0
That I get every every day, basically, that make me insane. And one of them is what's for dinner.
Speaker 0
It makes me insane. And Hattie asked me every day.
Speaker 1
At what point can you can they start making dinner?
Speaker 0
Well, they they can fend for themselves, but I'm trying to provide Like,
Speaker 0
have a feeling. Healthy alternatives. And so I started putting it in the skylight. And then this week, I fell off, and I didn't put in the skylight. And so I feel like it's it's ramped up. Because I told I told my family specifically, stop asking me this. Just check the skylight calendar because I'm putting it in there so I don't have to answer these questions. Like, it's just one less thing I have to worry about. But, yeah, it's it's a lot of questions.
Speaker 1
It's a lot of questions. Yeah.
Speaker 1
it doesn't stop? Because, like, I get little kid questions. You know?
Speaker 0
I feel like those are different and probably more numerous. Yeah. Hattie just wants to know and Henry's not that bad about it, but Hattie just wants to know, like, everything that's going on and who's calling and who's texting and why are they calling you and why are they texting you or why are you having this conversation? Who were you talking to? Shit that's not her business. Yeah. I'm like, just Just No.
Speaker 1
Mind your own beeswax. Exactly.
Speaker 0
Yeah. Yeah. But, forty six a day. Like, I feel like this
Speaker 1
No wonder we're so mentally exhausted.
Speaker 0
You should do a count, because I feel like this much plays much more with your kid's age.
Speaker 1
Yeah. I should. And, also, have you seen, like, where people count how many times they say mom?
Speaker 0
Oh. Mom. Mom. Mom counters.
Speaker 1
Yeah. There's, like, I need, like, a little clicker or something where I can just count do that. I will do that. I need a quick, clicker and then can count the questions for the moms. I will say I just posted this on the mom game thing. Alexa is helpful. I would just ask
Speaker 0
you just you just tell him, like, ask Alexa. Ask Alexa.
Speaker 1
Like and and we just upgraded our Alexa, and I I shared it on the mom game, and I was like, is this creepy or not? Like, the Alexa knows Anna and, like, no because they read your voice, and they're like, I know that you like musical theater and blah blah. I think you have a playful sense of humor and, like, all this stuff. And then it's like, I'm here to answer anything and be here for if you need anything, like the Alexa.
Speaker 0
Just unsolicited says that to her?
Speaker 1
Well, when Anna said Anna did say, do you know me? Oh, okay. And but then this morning so that was yesterday. This morning, I wake up, and Anna woke woke herself up and was in there, like, talking to Alexa. And she was like and she came down. I was like, what were y'all what were y'all doing? Like, sounds weird to even what were you doing? She was like, oh, well, I was telling Alexa all about the birthday party that I wanna have, and she was helping me plan it.
Speaker 0
Oh my gosh. She's gonna have an AI boyfriend. Well, when Well, then She's gonna have an AI boyfriend.
Speaker 1
It was I hope it's not a girl friend AI Alexa. I mean, maybe at least change it to a male one.
Speaker 0
Maybe she's friend. They're just friends.
Speaker 1
They're just friends. And when I did, like, I thought about that. Like, when Alexa was like, I'm here if you need anything. I was like I looked at Anna. I go, ask me first. Ask your mom first. Don't start asking ex don't start asking Alexa First. First. But we did try like, Anna's had a little bit of, she's experiencing the being left out stuff at school at recess, and I thought it'd be funny to ask Alexa what she should do, like a real hard parenting, like, question. You
Speaker 1
sometimes you don't know what to do or, like, what how do I work through this? Like, what do I tell her? And Alexa had a really great answer for her about, like, being left out. It was just like, well, you should probably and it was kinda what I had been telling her too. Like, you should probably find people that make you feel good and that don't leave you out. And it's okay to tell an adult so you could go find a teacher if you're feeling sad, you know, but no and then it, like, encouraged her. It was like, but you're great. You don't need to be you know, you don't need people's validation. It was, like, really good. I was like, damn, Alexa. Like, I'm gonna ask you for all my parenting trouble. Like, how do I deal with this? How do I deal with that? Like because I think what's happened with this Alexa plus is it's taking, like, more g p
Speaker 0
chat GPT. It sounds like chat GPT.
Speaker 1
It's like that type of technology, like, in your Alexa now. Oh my
Speaker 0
god. It's kinda scary. I used chat GPT for the first time, and it kinda blew me away.
Speaker 1
It's insane. But What'd you use it for?
Speaker 0
I needed to do it for my insurance business. I was trying to do a, like, a comparison of one policy versus another policy. Yeah. And but I don't I don't trust it totally.
Speaker 1
You can't. You have to, like, get it and then humanize it.
Speaker 0
Okay. Yeah. I feel like it's not totally accurate.
Speaker 1
No. It's not. Okay.
Speaker 1
it can help you, like, get your Get it going. Going in the right direction.
Speaker 0
Like As long as you know that. But it's, like, also too, it's like everything else. Like, it's so frustrating because I don't I feel like I'm in this place where, like, on social media or Internets, where whatever it's on. Like, I can't tell real from fake. Yeah. I can't I I can't tell
Speaker 0
The videos that are if that I'm laughing at, are they like, if they're not real, I don't think they're funny.
Speaker 1
Right. It shouldn't be funny No. Unless it's real.
Speaker 0
If it's real like, if there's a real cat, there's You know, face planning
Speaker 1
on a Right. That's funny.
Speaker 1
Anyone can animate
Speaker 1
No. Don't waste my time.
Speaker 0
See real funny shit. Right. I don't wanna see fake funny shit.
Speaker 1
You wanna see real cat videos.
Speaker 0
Yes. I wanna see real squirrel jumping on somebody's face. Not a fake squirrel.
Speaker 1
Great. That's just a cartoon.
Speaker 0
Yeah. It's not fun if it's not real.
Speaker 1
Yeah. And there's a lot of cats that are
Speaker 0
over here like, what the hell?
Speaker 1
Right. That's my gig. I guess I'm the funny cat in the cat video.
Speaker 0
Like, have you seen the ones this one keeps coming up with me, and there's, like, a a dog and a baby, and they're, like, covered in flour. Like, they've clearly made a mess of the flour. Well, the first time I saw it, it was like, this is effing hilarious. This kid and this dog just got after it with a bag of flour. This is amazing. You know? And they're like, they're like, you know, flour comes out of their mouth. I was like, this is hilarious. This spiral. This is awesome. And then I see another baby and another dog and the same shit, and I'm like, you motherfuckers.
Speaker 0
Yes. I'm not watching I'm not watching your fake dog baby flower videos. I'm not watching them anymore, so stop making them. I don't get stuff like that. Why are they doing it?
Speaker 1
Why are they targeting you? Good unless it's real. Dog and baby flower videos. Seriously. Have you not seen that one? Should we just, like, AI?
Speaker 0
It's gonna come up on your feed now. Probably now. There's gonna be so many videos of dogs and babies with flour all over their face and one going
Speaker 1
Right. I do I wonder what it would say if we were, like, make a AI video of the mom game podcast.
Speaker 0
Make a hilarious AI video of the mom game podcast that will go viral.
Speaker 1
Right. I wonder what it would do. I don't know. It'd probably be It'd be cheesy as hell. Oh, it'd be so cheesy.
Speaker 1
do think that's another fun experiment. That and counting the moms slash questions. We have some homework.
Speaker 0
Okay. Put it in the tackle box.
Speaker 0
Okay. Moving on, Oprah's favorite things. You know, she does that still.
Speaker 0
Yeah. Okay. But they include a two thousand dollar espresso machine and reading glasses for the shower. K. So here's the deal. Plenty according to this article, it's not even an article. It's her favorite things holiday gift guide. So there's plenty of affordable stuff on the list, but rich people shop for the holidays too. Right? That's why it includes that two thousand dollar espresso machine and a seven hundred dollar indoor pizza oven. Perhaps the most absurd item on the list is a sixty dollar pair of anti fog reading glasses. What are we doing? Oprah. I thought you were relatable.
Speaker 1
That's not relatable at all?
Speaker 0
I thought you were trying to be relatable, or maybe she's not anymore.
Speaker 1
Who reads in the shower? Is the other question.
Speaker 0
Great. A hundred percent
Speaker 1
doing reading in the shower?
Speaker 0
It makes no sense. Do you have a waterproof book? Like, this is dumb.
Speaker 1
And to think that's so common
Speaker 0
But, also, too, if they're anti fog reading glasses, maybe they would be like if you're going you know how when you go from outside to inside when it's hot on the summer and then, you know, and, like, your glasses fog up? Yeah. So they're anti fog glasses. Okay. So they're not necessarily for the shower. But also too, if you're walking from outside ninety five degree heat heat with eighty percent humidity and you're walking inside, are you reading reading at that point?
Speaker 1
She said anyone who's tried to read deep conditioner instructions after it's on will appreciate a pair. So, like, if you're trying to read a shampoo bottle
Speaker 0
So it's your first time experiencing deep conditioner. Right.
Speaker 1
No. And isn't it like just put the the glob of it in your hair?
Speaker 0
Like, what else do you need to Oprah. Come on.
Speaker 1
Yeah. That's a stretch Oprah or Oprah's minions, whoever did that.
Speaker 0
So yeah. So there's Oprah's favorite things. Have you started Christmas shopping? I bought my first two gifts today.
Speaker 0
Bought Henry's big gift and Hattie's big gift.
Speaker 0
Yep. I wanna know what they
Speaker 1
are, but you can't tell me because they they'll listen.
Speaker 0
They both know what they are. Oh. They're at the age where they pick everything out at
Speaker 1
this point. Okay.
Speaker 0
Because it's not worth it to try. I mean, I'll get them with we'll get them with something surprising that but if they're at twelve and fourteen, it's like, you might as well just succumb to the fact that they are like, it's just easier if you ask them to spell it out for you.
Speaker 0
And, yeah. Yeah. So that is Well,
Speaker 1
that's good. You knocked that off the list. Yes.
Speaker 0
They're the big the big ticket items. Like, they're they're big, big. And I told them, like, if y'all are if y'all know this is what you're getting, then we're gonna fucking get it in here, knock it out, get it assembled, and that way we don't have to worry about it on Christmas. Pink monk table?
Speaker 1
No. We got Oh, you already have that?
Speaker 0
Yes. Remember I told you we picked it off off the side of the curb.
Speaker 1
That's right. That's right. Herb.
Speaker 0
Yeah. And now, don't tell anyone, it's in the pool equipment room because we haven't played in a while, and I'm like, I'm just gonna put it out there. It it takes five seconds to roll it back in.
Speaker 0
But no one's complained yet. And I'm like Good. Yeah. So That's good. But it is fun to have. Especially, we'll pull it back out when it gets cold because when it gets cold, everybody gets bored and looking for stuff to do inside the house. Yeah. But there was a a run there with that ping pong table where they were playing every single night.
Speaker 0
Yeah. And so we'll pull it's like anything. Go put it away, and then it'll be, like, new again.
Speaker 0
Okay. You wanna do some news news desking?
Speaker 1
Yes. Let's do some news desking. This brought to us by our friends at EnergyBot. EnergyBot's amazing. They're saving Emily and I a bunch of money already, and they're Yes. It's it's great. Right?
Speaker 0
Yes. Like and it was so easy. Yeah. It was so easy to do this process. It's something you don't wanna do because you don't really think about it. But when I open my electric bill every month, it's, like, really, really high.
Speaker 0
So I was like, okay. It can't hurt to go through this process. It takes five minutes. And then if it you look like you're gonna save, then you send them your contract. They look at the terms, make sure you're not gonna get screwed if you, you know, skip early, whatever. I mean, they just take care of it. And I was like, oh, it's gonna be this long tedious process. It's not. And, I mean, it's listen. Every especially this time of year, everything adds up. Yeah. So, I mean, I think I saved, like, couple hundred dollars last month because my electric bill was so damn high. Yeah. So, yeah, first month, I'm like four hundred dollars less. Mine was, like, two ish, two fifty.
Speaker 1
Yeah. Yeah. And we might yeah. So it it's really amazing, and we both did it. We did it together. It's really easy, and and I'm glad that they reached out to us to help spread the word because I love spreading the word about things that help our listeners, and this is just a way to get more money to buy your kids their Christmas presents or whatever it is that you need to do. Because apparently, and I believe this, seventy five percent of people of Texans are not shopping. They just sign up based on providers or the first plan that they see. You can save about twenty percent or more on your electricity bill just by shopping around. The plans are, of course, getting trickier, more confusing. They'll say, oh, nights and weekends free or whatever it is, and you're like, oh, that sounds great. But there's always a trick, so it just makes sense to be able to shop for the best rates. And you can do that now. We have our own link. Energy bot dot com. They go shop around for you. They tell you what's a good fit. They cancel your old energy They do it. Contract for you. It's great. Energy bot dot com slash mom game. Use that link. It's specific for us, and it says, hey, mamas, when you go to it, which I think is so cute. Energy bot dot com slash mom game.
Speaker 0
I mean, it's worth taking a look. I mean, it's like with anything else. Like, if if if it's worth it, they'll tell you. If it's not, they'll tell you to, you know, you're in a good plan. Like Yeah. Check back with us later.
Speaker 1
And one of the other cool features, because we know power's gonna go out at some point. Yep. You can see where you are on the list for the grid. Like, so much grid talk over the last couple of years, and some people get electricity. Some people have it
Speaker 1
Turned off. Why? You can see where you're at on
Speaker 0
the list. And a lot of it has to do with if you're close to, like, a hospital or a fire station or something like that Yeah. That you kind of are lower down on the list or I don't know. Whatever. But it's it is interesting to look at. And it's also a chance for, like usually, I don't I mean, I handle our bills, like, our utilities and stuff. Mhmm. But I never shopped for anything. And so it made me feel good to be, like, to tell Mike, like, hey. Look at this. Saving some money. What we Actually, I may not have told him because I don't want him to know that I'm because that's on my ledger. So then I don't want him to know that I actually have more money Nice. To do fun activities with. Yeah. Okay. More
Speaker 1
Speaking of money for activities.
Speaker 0
I wanna yes. I wanna hold the story about the side hustles. I wanna hold that for next week because I wanna talk more about what I've been doing. But, I do have an idea for a business, speaking of side hustles. Love it. So teas for next week. We're gonna talk about side hustles, and how I feel about those and whatever, And what how you feel about those too, and bring you some apparently, there's a lot of people doing it. Anyway, whatever. But this is my idea for a business. So just like EnergyBot Mhmm. Shops energy plans and figures out the best blah blah blah. Why doesn't someone do that with, like, streaming and cable?
Speaker 0
Like, if I if there was a website where I could be like, I'm interested in bravo Yeah. All the sports and major networks What
Speaker 0
do? And Paramount or Right. Whatever, Peacock, whatever. Like, I tell you the this these are this is what I want. I spit it into a machine Mhmm. And you come back and tell me this is your best option
Speaker 0
Moving forward. You need to get Spectrum TV. You need to get Yeah. So there should be a cable box.
Speaker 1
There should be. That's a great idea. Should we
Speaker 0
not be, but I don't know of it. Should we not, should we not should we dump all this? Dump it? Let's see. Cut it out? Can you first of all, it makes my brain hurt to think about trying to, like, figure that out. We wouldn't
Speaker 1
be the figure outers. Right. But maybe there's someone listening. But then we hold them, and now
Speaker 0
they're just gonna take our idea. Oh. Maybe we should cut this out completely because no one's gonna take our brilliant idea.
Speaker 1
I think it's a great idea.
Speaker 0
But don't you think that's a great idea? Like, in EnergyBot made me think of it. Right. Okay. They're doing all the stuff. All you gotta do is put in your blah blah blah blah.
Speaker 1
StrategyPT could do that.
Speaker 0
It's tell you what you need.
Speaker 1
Like yeah. I don't know. They can
Speaker 0
do everything. But I feel like I'm I'm in a good we're we haven't missed anything yet because there's been all this stuff with YouTube TV and ESPN. I don't know if you've experienced that. We have Spectrum, and so, we've been fine.
Speaker 0
Like, so far, we haven't missed anything. Yeah. But I will say the endless like, they do have there's, like, a, there's an app called, like, Rocket Money, I think it is, where you it'll tell you what app like, you don't even realize what apps you're paying for, what streaming services, anything until you look at it, and you're like, I haven't used that in forever. Right.
Speaker 1
Which is nice to hear. Recurring. Yes.
Speaker 0
But I don't feel like there's one out there that will tell you, like, if this is what you wanna watch, you know
Speaker 0
you need. This is what you need.
Speaker 1
Right. Yeah. I think it's a good idea.
Speaker 0
So that's my idea for a new business.
Speaker 0
And then one final story before we go. Tom Brady cloned his dog.
Speaker 1
That's crazy. That's wild. And it's Well, he also cloned his dog,
Speaker 0
and he's also, like, an investor in this company.
Speaker 0
And, also, I sometimes feel like Tom Brady is a clone.
Speaker 1
I know. He's very cloney.
Speaker 1
He's a cloney guy.
Speaker 1
Tom Cloney. Tom Cloney. Instead of George Cloney. He's a clone. Clone y. Yeah. He's very clone y. He does seem very robotic. And I watched some of his football games just to, like, confirm that, Like And he does seem very does seem very robotic. So it's not surprising that he would've
Speaker 0
flown his dog. I know. But don't you feel like I feel like he should be having way more fun. Yeah. Like, you're Tom fucking Brady.
Speaker 1
Maybe he is, and we don't know it. He did have a little Sydney Sweeney rendezvous at the wedding we heard about. Right? And then that The Bezos wedding.
Speaker 0
That didn't go anywhere?
Speaker 1
No. That didn't go anywhere.
Speaker 0
Well, I wonder why.
Speaker 1
But maybe he was literally just flinging and having fun, to your point. Maybe that's was having fun. Well, good.
Speaker 1
he sure he's hooking up a lot.
Speaker 0
You think so? Oh, yeah. Do you think he's taking his briefcase to the bedroom? I'm serious.
Speaker 1
Full of sex toys.
Speaker 0
Really? I don't know. He gets down like that?
Speaker 1
No. But briefcase to the bedroom just makes sense.
Speaker 0
That's what I mean. Like, I just feel like he's too, like, I'm eating my gluten free ice cream, and I'm TB twelve. And
Speaker 1
No. You're right about that. The TB and, you know, it's like He's not playing anymore. Like, you don't have to.
Speaker 0
That's what I mean. Like, butt
Speaker 0
Eat some bluebell.
Speaker 1
You think he takes gummies? Like God. I hope so. He'd be fun like, he'd be funny. Oh, remember when he was all drunk after winning the Super Bowl?
Speaker 0
Oh, yeah. When he
Speaker 1
was like, the parade when he was with the Tampa Bay?
Speaker 0
The Lombardi Trophy across a across a river or something.
Speaker 1
Yeah. Like, we've
Speaker 0
seen it. We've seen it.
Speaker 1
It's it's in there somewhere.
Speaker 0
Right. But I feel like that was, like, once in a decade. Like, he had to win five rings
Speaker 0
order to celebrate like that for one day. Yeah. And then the next day, he was probably like, never again. And he really meant it.
Speaker 1
And, like, like, back back on the juice, back on my green juice. I know. Well, let's just get one. Well, let's if
Speaker 0
he's happy, that's all that matters. I'm just saying, if I was Tom Brady. Whoo.
Speaker 1
Right? I wouldn't go get another job where I have to, like, keep shit buttoned up.
Speaker 0
I'd be well, what would you do?
Speaker 1
None. I mean, you
Speaker 0
should be having a lot of fun.
Speaker 1
Yeah? You'd bring your briefcase to the bedroom? I would not. There would be no briefcase. Bring
Speaker 0
anything to the bedroom. But I'm just saying, like, he's single. Like, I don't know.
Speaker 0
I also sound by the way, sounds awful. Like, every time people talk about being single, like, if you, like, have friends that are
Speaker 1
Yeah. We're in, like, divorce phase. Right? The forties, I feel like that's when people
Speaker 1
Are getting divorced.
Speaker 0
Can you imagine No. Having to get someone used to all of this?
Speaker 1
Of more and more people, like, just swapping, basically. Like, people, like, cheating on people and then those people linking up, and then all of a sudden they have, like, a bunch of kids.
Speaker 0
Like like, wait. They're producing more or they're just blending their family?
Speaker 1
Blend like like, someone cheats on someone, well, then you go find someone else who's been cheated on and then, like, those two end up together and then I'm hearing I've heard of that, like, a few times lately.
Speaker 0
Really? Yeah. I love all of my friends, and I love all of their husbands. I do not wish to swap with any of them.
Speaker 1
made the renew, and you're doing great.
Speaker 0
I am quite certain they feel exactly the same. I am quite certain. No one wants me.
Speaker 1
Mike's gonna be like, don't
Speaker 0
do it. No one wants no one wants you.
Speaker 1
Yeah. Like, stop now. Yeah. Just
Speaker 0
don't do it. But can you imagine having to go through that whole process of No. Trying to explain someone all the shit that I do and the stuff that's going on in my head and why I do the things that I do.
Speaker 1
Would you though? Like, would you if you could start fresh, could you maybe, like, not I
Speaker 1
You're, like, maybe you could just not tell them that all the voices are in your head and stuff? It's it's not a it's like it's not a first date thing. No. You can't tell them about voices in your head until you're, like, engaged. Luckily, you don't have to worry about it
Speaker 0
because you're pretty married. I am.
Speaker 1
But if you were out on the dating No. Circuit.
Speaker 0
I can't hide this.
Speaker 1
See, like, first date, you'd be like, I've got Justin Bieber song Bieber song in
Speaker 0
the back of my head right now. You wanna know what was in it this morning? Yeah. Okay. Today is Monday. It's a very fine day. Thank God for Monday. Let's shout hooray. Hooray. If it wasn't for Monday, what would we do? Then we wouldn't have Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday, all day
Speaker 0
Together with you.
Speaker 0
It's gotta be Monday. It's got I learned it at a fucking church camp.
Speaker 1
You know today is Tuesday.
Speaker 0
It is Tuesday, but I started with Monday this morning. This is what I'm saying. This is what I'm saying.
Speaker 1
I thought they were, like, good songs.
Speaker 0
I woke up. It's just something. Today is Monday.
Speaker 1
And it doesn't go away.
Speaker 0
It it it does. It comes and goes.
Speaker 1
Can you insert a different song in there? I can try
Speaker 0
if someone introduces one to me. I will try.
Speaker 1
Do you want me to howl? Sure. Okay. Ice ice, baby. Okay. Been in there for a while. Stop, cleverly, and listen. Here we
Speaker 0
go. Back with my brain and your brain.
Speaker 1
Training your brain. Grapes a hold of it. Stay in there.
Speaker 1
a hot napoleon. Really a nice little break.
Speaker 0
Mouth the light. Out of there.
Speaker 1
And I'll glow to the extreme.
Speaker 0
I rock a mic like a vandal, light up the stage and watch your trunk like a candle, dance. Crutches speak of that boom or killing your brain like a poisonous mushroom, deadly. When I play a dope melody, anything less than the best is a felony. Love it or leave it. You better gain weight. You better hit bulls out of kid. Don't play. If there was a problem, you'll also check out the hook while my DJ revolves it. Oh. So that takes over now. Yay. I take heed because I'm a lyrical poet. Miami's on the scene just in case you didn't know it, my town, that created all the bass sounds. Enough to kick shake and kick holes in the ground because my style is like a chemical spill. Feasible rhymes, you can vision and feel. Conduct and inform, this is a hell of a concept. We make it hype, and you wanna step with this. Shay plays on the fade, slice like a ninja, cut like a razor blade so fast. Other DJ say, damn. If Ryan was a drug, I'd sell it by the gram. Keep my composure when it's time to get loose magnetized by the mic while I kick my juice. If there was a problem, you
Speaker 1
Yo. I'll solve it.
Speaker 0
Check out the hook while my DJ revolves it.
Speaker 1
Ice ice, baby. We did it.
Speaker 0
Yo, man. Let's get out of here. Order to your mother.
Speaker 1
I love it. Now you have a better song in your head.
Speaker 0
I do. But then it's just yeah. It's constant. So, yeah, I would have to tell someone. Mhmm. I would have to tell them. Like, I can't I can't I'm not into false advertising. Yeah. You know?
Speaker 1
Like Maybe they'd maybe they'd be maybe they'd also have a song in their head.
Speaker 0
No. I mean Like, maybe I'll
Speaker 1
you would find out the more you tell people There's
Speaker 0
basically one person on this planet I could be married to, and thank god I'm married to him. Yeah. Because he's so just And then there's
Speaker 1
someone like that too.
Speaker 0
Yeah. And then there's me. And it's like,
Speaker 1
I can't I I can't hide stuff. But everyone's got stuff.
Speaker 0
Yeah. But I can't hide like, I can't you've seen it. I can't if I'm frustrated or mad or upset, like, I can't this the there's I know. There's nothing. Yeah. I can't pretend. Okay. I'm not good at pretending.
Speaker 1
You could get a second date even with putting it all out there.
Speaker 0
I just don't think I would even wanna try.
Speaker 1
That's I know. And you won't have to, hopefully. Neither of us will have to, hopefully.
Speaker 1
That'd be a whole adventure. I mean, it'd be good content.
Speaker 0
Oh my gosh. Okay. Wait. Like that show, nobody wants this? Have you watched it?
Speaker 1
I haven't. I've heard of it, though.
Speaker 0
So it's two sisters, and they have a podcast.
Speaker 1
Okay. Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 0
I'm gonna watch it. It's kinda cute. The second season isn't as good as the first, but it's cute. It's funny.
Speaker 1
Brody and Kristen Bell. Yeah.
Speaker 0
Yeah. Yeah. They're super cute. Anyway alright.
Speaker 1
Well Is that what their pod is about, dating?
Speaker 0
It's well, she so, yeah, kind of. But they're just kinda like, let's just talk about shit, minus sports. They don't
Speaker 1
need to have a show
Speaker 0
about it on Netflix? I mean Probably.
Speaker 1
They made a show about a podcast
Speaker 0
and It would go amazingly well.
Speaker 1
We've been doing this for almost six years.
Speaker 0
Yeah. We've been here for a while.
Speaker 1
We have been through some shit.
Speaker 0
Okay. Alright. I'll save something else for
Speaker 1
next week. Okay.
Speaker 0
Write it down. Box.
Speaker 1
Put it in the tackle box.
Speaker 0
It it's and it's spawned from a question in one of my other I have another group chat. It's co ed.
Speaker 1
Oh, that's exciting.
Speaker 0
