Speaker 5:Man, I did, but I wouldn't have without the help of air conditioning and my parents' pull.
Speaker 1:It was a brutal weekend.
Speaker 5:It was hot. It was like stifling heat.
Speaker 1:All those poor dads out there having to grill their own food this weekend.
Speaker 5:Don't want to hear it.
Speaker 1:Out there sweating over the hot grill.
Speaker 5:And all the mothers that never got a break on Mother's Day from changing diapers. I hope they're doing okay out there, all the mothers inside looking out the window saying is your dad okay?
Speaker 1:Is he up there? Is he okay? But check on him, son.
Speaker 5:No, it's more like is dad done yet how?
Speaker 3:much longer is this going to take.
Speaker 5:I'm starving.
Speaker 1:Hey, speaking of grilling real quick, starting today, we've got, I think, one of our most fun contests we've had ever, because we have a video that goes with it that we shot here about a month ago. It ties right in with the grilling contest we've got. It's the Grills Gone Wild contest. We're giving away a brand new $500 stainless steel four-burner propane grill courtesy of Alabama Teachers Credit Union, and we're even throwing in $100 worth of delicious meat from Crow's Butcher Shop in Henniger. And it's simple. Okay, now maybe, if you're maybe in the 20s, you may have never seen the original National Lampoon's vacation movie where the Griswolds are going out to Wally World and on their road trip they stop at Cousin Eddie's house and he's grilling. He's standing beside the grill and he's all dressed up in Cousin Eddie attire, how would you describe that?
Speaker 5:So it's kind of we're going to say it's Hawaiian, it's more of a floral design, but it's 1970s brown. You know what I'm talking about. And then it's got cream color floral on it. And then he's got his high-waisted blue jeans on.
Speaker 1:Now, the color of the blue pants. That's key. Also, they're like an ugly light blue.
Speaker 5:Oh yeah, you want to dab this up as much as possible.
Speaker 1:So what we need? All the listeners. It's not just for dad, this is for anybody. Yeah, Male, female, child, dog. If you can dress your cat up like this, Yep, More points to you probably. Yeah, but we want you to have someone stand beside a grill any kind of grill and take a picture dressed as much like Cousin Eddie. And if you want to choose the Cousin Eddie from Christmas Vacation and the bathrobe, that is fine too.
Speaker 5:Whatever, you want to do? Yeah, just stand by your grill.
Speaker 1:Just Cousin Eddie from the vacation movies, and if you want to see what we're talking about, it's going to be on. Is it on our Facebook yet?
Speaker 5:Yeah, it's on there.
Speaker 1:That picture. We want you to recreate that picture as closely as you can. Yeah, then you send it to us. What we'll do is coming up in about two weeks we're going to have, I guess, a random drawing. It won't be based on being exact, we just want you to have fun with it.
Speaker 5:Oh yeah, oh yeah. Just have fun with it. And that's the whole thing about these contests that we have is we just want to have fun. So, grills Gone Wild, submit your photo today. You can do it on the website. I have the link on our Facebook page, but all you have to do is upload a photo of you standing by the grill. Or, like Barry said, mom can be standing by the grill. Kids, are you laughing?
Speaker 1:at the pictures. I'm looking at the picture because you put it up, and there's our co-worker, will Brumbelow. He's showing you how he did it. There's his picture below this, which he's got on a beautiful Hawaiian shirt, standing beside a grill which he's got on a beautiful Hawaiian shirt standing beside a grill. Now, of course Will sorry, but you can't win, but that's how you do it.
Speaker 5:No, and he doesn't have a spatula so he's using a fly swatter.
Speaker 1:Just have fun with it. And if you want to watch the video, we shot a video. Will was Cousin, eddie and I was Clark and you were the wife. I forget the wife's name?
Speaker 5:I don't know.
Speaker 1:I can't remember oh wife's name and I forget that.
Speaker 5:Oh my god, I forgot her name. What?
Speaker 1:is her name? It's clark. And is it audrey? No, I don't know, it's a daughter yeah, I don't remember, we'll look at ellen, yeah, ellen. And then cousin eddie's daughter is standing at the picnic table stirring the kool-aid or their hand. So if you wonder what our video has to do with it, rachel, yes, who's having to take a week off to have some therapy because she could not get the redness off of her hand from the Kool-Aid?
Speaker 5:Really she couldn't. She's on vacation.
Speaker 1:She's trying to get the Kool-Aid red off of her hand.
Speaker 5:No, it's funny though, because we shot this at Will's parents' house and Will's mom was pulling out everything she had the acetone, the alcohol, the bleach. She was pulling out everything to unstain her hands.
Speaker 1:She flew in a specialist to try to treat her skin. But anyway, we tried to recreate the little videos. Now again, you don't do a video. We just shot a video to have fun. But you shoot a picture. Just take a picture of Cousin Eddie by the grill, send it to us. Go to our website Coming up in two weeks, somebody wins a brand new grill and $100 worth of meat.

How'd you know Things you need to know today, the day after Father's Day? Hope you all had a great Father's Day Monday, June the 17th. What's happening today?
Speaker 5:So today is National, eat your Vegetables Day.
Speaker 1:That was always hard for me. Oh was it. I've never been a vegetable person, but we always had a garden with so many vegetables in it, Probably my favorite one. I used to think tomato was a vegetable. I thought.
Speaker 3:I'm eating my, my vegetable, but it's not. No, it's a tomato's a fruit. So if I had to pick, my favorite vegetable.
Speaker 5:I love uh, I love corn oh, yeah, but green beans, that's not even good for you green beans are I love green beans.
Speaker 1:I guess what is your favorite vegetable?
Speaker 5:well mine the most is the most popular in the us is number one coming in strong contender is the potato oh, so french fry qualifies as a vegetable. Yes, yes, you're eating your vegetables. Okay, good job. And then number two is onions. Do you like onions?
Speaker 1:I love onions. I love them on the grill.
Speaker 5:People are split on onions I've found yeah, it says it's the number two most popular in the US, but you either love it or hate them. And then number three is bell peppers.
Speaker 1:I love those on like kebabs and putting them on the grill. Oh man, I love bell peppers.
Speaker 5:Well, here's something you need to know 23 sets of twins have graduated from a Massachusetts middle school. That makes up 10% of the eighth grade class. Wow, five sets of the twins are identical 23 sets of twins from middle school 23 sets. In one class 23 sets in one class.
Speaker 1:That had to be confusing, because you say five sets are identical. Yeah.
Speaker 5:Imagine how those tests went that gave teacher nightmares.
Speaker 1:Which one is which?
Speaker 5:Would you switch up classes?
Speaker 1:I would I would too. I would mess with them all day long, oh I would too.
Speaker 5:I would never stop, absolutely, yeah. And here's something to think about. I've been thinking about this, yeah. So I think, mcdonald's, they need to add one more drive-up window.
Speaker 1:One more window, mm-hmm.
Speaker 5:At this one you can trade in all the stuff that they gave you at the last window.
Speaker 1:that was wrong. Go through the bag and say I'll trade you this, Uh-huh.
Speaker 5:I'll trade you my Grandma McFlurry for my orange french fry. And what is that, grandma McFlurry, exactly? We don't know what's in it. What is it?
Speaker 1:I pulled up the other day going to get something get me a sweet tea and I looked and saw the picture of the McFlurry and I thought it doesn't even say what's in it no, grandma's purse, or something. And.
Speaker 5:I'm like what does that mean?
Speaker 1:That would be juicy fruit chewing gum in a cert. Oh no, it feels like grandma's purse.
Speaker 5:Cinnamon discs and those weird strawberry wrapper things, oh, and some gluten and some snuff. Oh gluten, oh snuff yeah, it was also in there. Oh God, gluten cough drops. What was in your grandma's purse? Stuff like that my grandma. I had a church grandma and I had a non-church grandma. The church grandma had candies to keep us quiet. She had those strawberries and cream smoothie. Do you remember the cream savers?
Speaker 1:Yes, those were good the cream savers.
Speaker 5:Oh, I stayed so quiet in church oh.
Speaker 1:I did too. I loved them, so I could get one, because if you didn't, you'd get that pinch. Oh, I know You'd get that pinch on the butt when you were squirming and talk to her just like this. I've never said that in real life and that gives her so bad. When I gave her the pinch on the butt.
Speaker 5:Or when the lips get thin. That's when I know my mama's mad.
Speaker 1:When she talks to me like this oh yes, does she say your middle name?
Speaker 5:No, I've never been a full name kind of girl. When I get in trouble it's more of a holly.
Speaker 1:It's the tone of my name is where I gauge that I knew I was in trouble when my first came second. When he called me it was usually Blankberry. I can't say the other word.
Speaker 4:Blank when I knew my first name came second in the conversation.
Speaker 1:I was in trouble Because when the other word came first, you knew, you know the word I'm talking about oh yeah Starts with a D and ends with a T.
Speaker 5:Close to dang it Blanket.
Speaker 1:Yeah, Barry. Oh no, my first name came second. I'm screwed, 617. Yeah 617.
Speaker 4:Mary and Holly on Alabama's Country Giant WQSB Big time.
Speaker 5:I know my pumpkins are frying up.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 5:I'm trying to keep them watered, but I can't keep up with the and all my flowers are dying.
Speaker 1:It's just Okay, now you said I don't think watering actually consists of your dog walking over and peeing on it. Oh, I think you have to take some water to it. Like what? Any kind of water, any kind of water. I don't think dog pee works on watering plants.
Speaker 5:I just thought he'd take care of it.
Speaker 1:It'll turn yellow and I don't think I'd want to ever eat that pumpkin if that was. If Polly ever offered you a pumpkin down the road, say no, Because she says that's how she's been watering it.
Speaker 5:My dog does. Yeah, he does. I told Barry he's been peeing on my pumpkins and I don't know how to stop it.
Speaker 1:Well, he's giving it all, he's got. Yeah, he is he knows it needs water and you're not watering them.
Speaker 5:Yes, I am Water your pumpkins I am.
Speaker 1:I'm going to call what's the plant version of PETA?
Speaker 5:PHR.
Speaker 1:I'm calling it, whoever they are, instead of DHR, phr, the plant version of PETA, whatever that is. So, peta, I'm going to call them and get a hold of you, but anyway, today's going to be another hot one as far as rain. This is the only chance of rain all week they're showing us. Today.

It's been about, I guess, two months. Has it been two months?
Speaker 5:Yeah, it's been about two months.
Speaker 1:Because we were supposed to go down there and do this over the past month and something's come up. Either their schedule or our schedule had a conflict, but today we're going to go.

Speaker 5:I think that's what you call the girl ones. I think the boy ones are pizzaiolos.
Speaker 1:Well, look at you. I know you took like Italian in school, or what I brushed up on it.
Speaker 5:I brushed up on pizza making last night.

Speaker 5:You think he knows well, he may not know what if he says no, oh that's possible.
Speaker 1:I mean, it's his kitchen it is his kitchen, but I think he'll let me, we want you to try your hand, because I would only have one hand you only have hand. I can't toss a pizza in the air, but you're going to try to make a pizza, yeah, and are we going to Facebook Live this or this?
Speaker 5:We're going to record it and I'm going to make a video. But Andre goes live, yeah, so I'll get all the details worked out on how they can view it. But I think we're going to record and post a video and Andre goes live on his TikTok and he's got like 380,000 followers.
Speaker 1:I've been watching some of them this weekend.
Speaker 5:I think it's Andre the pizza guy.
Speaker 1:He is good, yeah, he's on.
Speaker 5:TikTok but he's really entertaining he is. And he goes live and has like thousands of people watching.
Speaker 1:I can see why he's fun to watch.
Speaker 5:He is fun to watch, so we're going to be there today.
Speaker 1:We're leaving later this morning. And you're going to go in there and we're going to watch him do it one live and maybe he'll give you a chance to. Who knows, this may be your career that you didn't realize that you were good at.
Speaker 5:What if I have a hidden talent that's unlocked?
Speaker 4:That'd be the first one you've had. No, I'm kidding.
Speaker 1:I'm kidding, I'm kidding Dang, but you've got a lot to set up, coach, we're going to be doing this and then coming up in the next few days you're going to go live and make some of your glasses, your tumblers, yeah, I am You're going to show people how to do that.

Speaker 5:I know who would you replace me with?
Speaker 1:I don't know.
Speaker 5:If you could have any replacement in the world, who would it be?
Speaker 1:Probably Andre the pizza guy.
Speaker 5:Yeah, that's a good one.
Speaker 1:I think he'd be a fun co-host.
Speaker 5:I'm going to say the same.
Speaker 1:Plus, he'd bring food at least once a week. I would think that's going to be in his contract.
Speaker 5:Yeah, oh, cold pizza for breakfast, that's good, yes.

Maybe some comment on parenting, what do you think?
Speaker 5:This one is so true. This quote comes from Jim Gaffigan. It says I don't know what's more exhausting about parenting, the getting up early or acting like you know what you're doing. I think it's the latter.
Speaker 1:That is true Because it is so scary because, like many times you go to the hospital, you have the baby and they just said here you go, good luck. Here you go, keep it alive, kind of show you how to clean its rear end, how to feed it, and then you say, there you go, there's no book that comes with it. No, there is not. So it's very scary. Yeah, it is, yeah, but luckily that's what I guess. Families farm Absolutely yes, so that's a good one. I love Jim Gaffigan. Yeah, 713.
Speaker 4:WQSB Mornings with Barry and Holly yeah.
Speaker 1:It's simple. You just need to take a picture of someone dressed up in their best Cousin Eddie outfit possible. You don't have to be exactly like what he wears, because it's going to be hard to find a shirt and pants like he has on in the movie. The movie we're talking about is National Lampoon's Vacation in pants, like he has on in the movie. The movie we're talking about is National Lampoon's Vacation, the original one, where the Griswolds visit Cousin Eddie at their home, cousin Eddie's grilling food and he's cooking hamburger hepper on the grill. That scene you can see a picture of what he looks like, what he's wearing. We want you to dress up in your best Cousin Eddie outfit. Take a picture Not a video, but a picture and send it to us.
Speaker 5:Yeah, and upload it on WQSBcom.
Speaker 1:Somebody's going to win that grill. It can be anybody, it doesn't have to be a dad. It could be dad, mom, son, daughter, dog, cat. Whatever you want to do, just be original, be creative. We don't have a random drawing, though. We just want to have a bunch of fun pictures.
Speaker 5:So no, we just want to have a bunch of fun pictures, oh yeah.
Speaker 1:So if you'd like to see what we want you to show us, you can see our website, facebook page, and you can also see a video that our staff shot back about a month ago. So we recreated that famous scene from Vacation.
Speaker 5:Yeah, I may post it again today, just to put it to the top.
Speaker 1:Because that was fun. That was fun. Get those pictures in entries in. We'll be doing this for a couple of weeks and we'll have the winner coming up in about two weeks.
Speaker 4:Get in my belly. Come on, make you banana pancakes.
Speaker 1:Well, some new foods. I'm looking forward to the Deadpool Wolverine movie and DiGiorno is teaming up with Deadpool and Wolverine with four new pizzas. Yeah, look at the box. The box looks cool, oh, it does yeah, One is called Maximum Pep. It's sliced and diced pepperoni. Maximum flavor, zero regrets. Oh yeah, this is what the box is. Okay. The next one is Gimme Chimmy.
Speaker 4:Oh, okay, it's a chimichanga-inspired pizza.
Speaker 1:It's a fiesta for your taste buds. Then there's the Wade special Wade is Deadpool's name, special weight is Deadpool's name. It's a pineapple and black olives. It's sweet, it's salty. Then there's the spicy wolvie, as in wolverine pie pepperoni, chorizo and bacon. Oh my God.
Speaker 5:I want to try that one. Yeah, that one would be good.
Speaker 1:But they say it's hotter than Logan's yellow spandex from Wolverine.
Speaker 5:That's got to be hot.
Speaker 1:So these will be in stores right about now, so we'll have to try one and let you know what we think.
Speaker 5:Well, there's a new shake coming to Dairy Queen and it is going to be good. It's the Nutter Butter Shake, featuring soft serve blended with Nutter Butter cookie crumbles and finished with whipped topping.
Speaker 1:Well, if anything, peanut butter yes, that's going to be delicious, that's going to be good.
Speaker 5:And then KFC is testing a new Icy in select Kentucky locations. They're going to be available in three flavors a Mountain Dew, sweet Lightning, blackberry, lemonade, yum and Blue Raspberry.
Speaker 1:They sound good.
Speaker 5:It says that the Sweet Lightning takes on the southern peach and blends them with smooth honey. The Blackberry Lemonade has the sweet and tart flavor of blackberries and the citrus classic lemonade, Okay. And the blue raspberry has that childhood favorite of bursts of sweet and blue tart raspberry flavor. It's going to turn your tongue blue, but it's going to be worth it.
Speaker 1:So it's in Kentucky now they're testing. We should have these probably sometime later this fall.
Speaker 5:Yeah, we should those sound good. Yeah, we should those sound good yeah those are sounding good.
Speaker 4:All right, 724. Mornings with Barry and Hall here on Alabama's country giant WQSB. Come on man.
Speaker 1:Mornings. Come on man Story talking about your pets. Now you have a dog. Uh-huh, is your dog? Is it in good shape? Is it average weight, overweight? I don't know how you judge that.
Speaker 5:I would say he's athletic build.
Speaker 1:Okay, According to a story now, Ozempic that's like been all over the news over the past year. It's like a big weight loss drug. According to this, they say that some drug manufacturers are now considering considering making weight loss drugs for your pets. No, Yep.
Speaker 5:Come on, no, come on, no, come on.
Speaker 1:Okava Pharmaceuticals is working on adapting GLP-1 drugs for pets, and they recently published results of a pilot study saying that it worked on cats. More than half of all dogs and cats worldwide are classified as overweight or obese and can suffer from the same weight-related health complications as humans. So now this is in the works. Some companies are now working on weight loss drugs for your pets.
Speaker 5:Okay, is it going to be like Ozympic, Like I don't know.
Speaker 1:I don't know Well the company that makes that. They're one of the ones looking into it. They may also offer this down the road for pets.
Speaker 5:Just exercise them.
Speaker 1:Okay, here's my thought. Okay, I've had cats, not had dogs. The pets will eat what you give them. For a pet to be overweight, you're giving them too much food. I know you want them to be happy. I know you want them to quit dancing around the table while you're eating, you just go throw something in their bowl or whatever. Just get them something that you don't think about it until months later when they get a little belly on them and get a little overweight. Like my daughter, reagan has a cat. That's huge.
Speaker 5:Oh, like fat, I think it is, or is it just a big cat?
Speaker 1:It's both, both, both.
Speaker 5:How much does it weigh?
Speaker 1:I'd say at least 25 to 30 pounds?
Speaker 5:No way. It's heavy, no way.
Speaker 1:I've seen people's pets and they'll admit that this pet we've got to cut back on table food. It's not like the dog or cat jumps in the car and goes through the drive-thru and gets them something to eat. They eat what you give them. Yeah, so just don't give them as much, don't give them as much. I know it's going to make them, but you're the one that started, the creative of this monster, this fat monster, little chubby little monster.
Speaker 5:I know, but they're so cute. Fat little dogs and fat cats are as cute as fat babies. Just everything is fat.
Speaker 1:It's hard not to give them when they're sitting there with those sad eyes while you're eating and wanting something to eat.
Speaker 5:My dog will paw at you Really. Yeah, he's only started doing this in the last two years. Yeah, but he'll paw and it hurts.
Speaker 1:Well, he's smart and he scratches.
Speaker 5:He like scratches into your skin, like, hey, give me some of that, Is that?
Speaker 1:like a threat. I think I take it as a threat. Does he get up to your face, kind of yeah. Does he stare down Forehead to forehead? Does he do his paw? Yeah, he does the. I'm looking at you?
Speaker 5:Do you like looking at you as Paul? Yeah, he does that. How do you know?
Speaker 1:I can see it coming. Do you feed him when he scratches your leg Of?
Speaker 5:course I do See, of course.
Speaker 1:I do See they've learned from you leg.
Speaker 5:Of course I do see, he's, of course I do. They've learned from you. I know, scratch your leg and she'll feed you.
Speaker 1:I know, but she's he's so sweet when he has friends over.
Speaker 5:Does he tell him just go over there and yeah, scratch your leg or oh yeah, there's a whole crowd when the next friend's over or hike on her leg.
Speaker 1:No, I'd kick him out. Then they're probably what made me want to feed him no no, raises the hind leg and showers my ankle.
Speaker 5:Puppy dog eyes yes.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 5:Leg lifting no.
Speaker 1:Scooching either.
Speaker 5:And scooching, they're not getting any bite bites either. Or?
Speaker 1:ankle grabbing.
Speaker 5:No, that's definitely not going to.
Speaker 1:No, probably going to get you spayed or neutered or shoe chewing.
Speaker 5:One of the tip A sprayer neutered.
Speaker 1:I mean if it grabbed your ankle. That's the next step.
Speaker 5:I just said shoe chewing, shoe chewing. I said shooting. No, no, no, what? No, it's hard to say Shoeing. No say shoe chewing, oh oh, say that, say it Shoe chewing, oh well, it's hard for me to say.
Speaker 1:I can imagine. I mean, you've been terrorized by your dog pawing at your leg and now he's turned into peeing on it. I know, apparently, that's rough, it's 741.
Speaker 4:Mary and Holly on Alabama's Country, Giant WQSB.
Speaker 1:Topper Holly's knowledge nuggets things you need to know, whether you know it or not. What is going on today?
Speaker 5:So studies show that if you smell like lavender, people will find you to be more honest.
Speaker 1:Lavender, lavender. Why do you think that is I?
Speaker 5:don't know, I think because lavender is associated with a calming.
Speaker 1:I don't know, I don't know, I'm just reading these facts Now. Lavender is good for a lot of stuff and also helps get rid of rats.
Speaker 5:I'd read once somewhere oh, okay, well, okay, not saying that that's a tie-in here to people who need to wear lavender.
Speaker 1:But maybe people think you're kind of rat-like. You might want to put on some lavender, I don't know.
Speaker 5:Well, all right. One-fourth of all young adults have never been inside a bank. How about that?
Speaker 1:I'm going to say that's true. Yeah, I'll have to ask my daughter, reagan. Yeah, because I really don't know that she ever has.
Speaker 5:Been inside.
Speaker 1:Drive-thru maybe, yeah, atms, yeah, online banking, but you know, in today's world more kids would rather do that than actually walk inside and face somebody face to face yeah, and I mean there's really not a ton of reasons to go in the bank anymore.
Speaker 1:No, because you can do everything online or drive through like I do yeah that's a good point, yeah, yeah the last one. The average woman has 38 things in her purse I'd say you don't because you don't have a purse I don't have a purse, yeah when's the last time you carried a purse?
Speaker 5:Never.
Speaker 1:Never, you've really never.
Speaker 5:I had one and I just tried to and be girly and I just it didn't work out. I kept losing things. They'd be at the bottom. Then one time I got a hole in the liner and somehow it got behind the liner and my keys were at the bottom of the purse between the liner and the like.
Speaker 1:I don't know, I was okay this stressed me out, but 38 things, okay. Say, say, take your mom uh, yeah, okay purse oh yeah would you think she has about that many things in there? More than I would say more than really yeah, like what kinds of things are we talking about?
Speaker 5:Like there's breath, mints breath, strips her wallet.
Speaker 1:Keys.
Speaker 5:Keys, yes, sunglasses. I'm trying to think of what else is in there.
Speaker 1:My mother used to have weird stuff in there.
Speaker 5:Like what Like eye drops.
Speaker 1:Like things you might in case of an emergency band-aids yes, benadryl.
Speaker 5:Tylenol, yeah, yeah all the medicines my mom's got like a little mini pharmacy.
Speaker 1:Once I saw like X-Lax I said why? I said I've never once been out public. I thought I just need to go to the bathroom. Really bad, mom, if you got any X-Lax In that purse. I gotta go right now.
Speaker 5:That's kind of personal to your mom, though she may have had some issues.
Speaker 1:I mean, I guess I could see the other kind.
Speaker 5:I'd like you to stop it, but not to start it.
Speaker 1:I don't want to stop her. I don't want to start her.
Speaker 5:Maybe she took it while she was out to be ready when she got home.
Speaker 1:But you're taking a chance. What if I'd reach into the home? Chocolate Hershey's, I'd like some good milk chocolate on a my? I'd like some good milk chocolate on a.
Speaker 5:My mama used to trick me with that, because it's laxative that tastes like chocolate.
Speaker 1:That's cruel.
Speaker 5:Yeah, when I was little. No, she did it because I wouldn't take anything and I was in pain and hurt Gotcha. She's a nurse, she knows what she's doing. Okay, gotcha, all right 757.
Speaker 1:WQSB Mornings with Barry and Holly mornings with barry and holly mornings quote of the day, without uh coming out of father's day, maybe, uh, one more quote for dad and uh, we always give you like an inspiring, maybe a thought-provoking quote. How about a funny one from time to time? And one of my favorite comedians, jim gaffigan, loved it, loved to listen to him, and he had this quote came out a few years ago. So tell, tell us what Jim said.
Speaker 5:He said I don't know what's more exhausting about parenting the getting up early or the acting like you know what you're doing.
Speaker 1:Getting up early is tough.
Speaker 5:Getting up early is tough, but I'm going to be honest with you the older they get, neither one of us know what we're doing. They don't know what they're doing. I don't know what I'm doing. We're just learning with each other.
Speaker 1:The bad thing is when they get older, then they tell you you don't know what you're doing. Yeah, well they become experts on life, everything, or where the expertise comes from. Then they tell you you don't know what you're doing. Yeah, but that is so true.
