You good?
Speaker 1 00:09:36
Any of you guys still sore? A bit.
Speaker 2 00:09:43
For some reason I'm sore in my abs though.
Speaker 1 00:09:47
Well, pull- ups are core, it's a core exercise. But just like sure that I wasn't. That's okay, sometimes it's delayed for a couple days. I'm still sore.
Speaker 2 00:10:06
Yeah. Whenever I do that.
Speaker 1 00:10:37
So what you did, it's a soreness, right? Sore. It's not like stabbing, but it's like. Oh my muscles hurt. Right? Mhm. That's sore. So what you did is you went and you exercised like all these. Look at when I squeeze, look at all these muscles that flex, right? So when you did that, Especially when you start struggling and stuff like that, which we did a lot of, right? Mhm You're doing all these. Secondary muscles. So I told you that it gets all these muscles and everything. Remember how I said when when we were doing the bench press, I said everything hurts except for the muscles that I'm training? Yeah, right? That was all the secondary muscles, all the muscles that go into that action. Okay, so in fact, That's our Amazon order, I think. Oh! One minute.
Speaker 1 00:11:32
Okay. We can play, but we gotta be quiet'cause'cause Miss Ashley's working. Is that okay?
Speaker 6 00:11:40
Yeah. We got chores and stuff to do after this.
Speaker 1 00:11:44
Okay, you guys can come in. They've got stuff that they're working on, but I don't wanna send you away. How's that sound? All right. But and we can't. Shh! We can't be loud, okay? Quiet!
Speaker 4 00:12:02
Miss Ashley's working in the back, so we can't be loud, okay? No screaming. So, But if you guys want to come out and play with Legos or anything like that, that's fine.
Speaker 1 00:12:31
Well, it's just taken apart. It doesn't stay together anymore. What's up, Maddie? I'm still working that out for you, kiddo. That's why I said I got to talk to Coach. Can I have four soccer practices? Well, that's what I'm trying to figure out. I'm trying to make it so you don't have to, but that's a possibility. Okay. Thank you. Yep. 
Speaker 1 00:13:02
What this guy. 
Speaker 1 00:13:10
Yeah I can barely get the other one off the other day. So I'm getting a bigger one, cause these guys tungsten rings, they don't they don't they cut the finger off before they cut these guys off.
Speaker 4 00:13:26
Oh, wait,
Speaker 3 00:13:29
What do you mean to cut the finger?
Speaker 3 00:13:35
How much they cost?
Speaker 1 00:13:37
Twenty bucks.
Speaker 2 00:13:39
Why do you need a new one?
Speaker 1 00:13:40
I don't know. It's like the same size. It says that I got a size eight, but maybe I didn't. Or okay.
Speaker 3 00:13:52
See, it looks different than the other one.
Speaker 1 00:13:54
I'm gonna, I'm trying to get one that fits the right way. If you saw like it's not going on right?
Speaker 2 00:14:01
Wait, what happened? Uh But what happens if you can't, Get it off.
Speaker 1 00:14:06
They'll cut my finger off if they have to. So why. 
Speaker 2 00:14:09
Do you need to get it off though?
Speaker 1 00:14:11
In a situation where. If I can't get it off, I just can't get it off. But if there's a reason why they need to get it off, Like say, my finger's all swollen or something like that, and they want to save my finger, I'll end up losing my finger if they can't get it off. So. Does that make sense?
Speaker 2 00:14:37
Why don't you get a gray one?
Speaker 1 00:14:40
Um, you know, I like the black one better. I asked your mom what she thought. She said she liked the black one better. We got the black one. Was it a gray one that it's supposed to be? Yeah. How did Mom know this stuff? Oh yeah, I just needed. I went and looked. No, this is actually not even my wedding. my original wedding ring. Oh okay. Um, my original wedding ring was like nine. Pieces. and it can't be resized. thirty nine pieces. I think it's like nine separate pieces. um so, it's actually kind of cool. I'll show it to you sometime, but I want to get to work. Okay. So but when I lost a bunch of weight, it didn't fit anymore. 
Speaker 1 00:15:38
My issue is that my knuckles are a lot bigger than you know, my fingers. Yeah, so uh. 
Speaker 2 00:15:60
I went and sized myself. So they have a finger sizer.
Speaker 1 00:16:09
I don't know, the last one I bought was an eight. This one, so I bought a nine this time, and that one doesn't fit. So now I'm re, now I'm thinking maybe I made a mistake.
Speaker 4 00:17:01
Music. 
Speaker 4 00:18:09
I'm gonna give it a little try.
Speaker 5 00:18:39
It looks good. I saw them in Justice's car and mom bought them. They're really good. I know, these are my favorite ones. They here?
Speaker 4 00:18:48
Yeah, let's wait okay?
Speaker 4 00:19:21
Uh.
Speaker 2 00:20:34
Yeah. Can I have some mumbles? Can you find me those mumbles? Are you ready to go? Uh, I just need my water bottle. What is it called, water bottle piece? She likes. Okay. Everything. I need a water bottle.
Speaker 1 00:20:50
Basically, you need everything? No.
Speaker 1 00:20:53
Okay, let's get ready first, okay? Sometimes you get distracted, so I want you to take care of everything first. And then.
Speaker 4 00:21:02
Thanks, dude.
Speaker 4 00:22:31
Hm.
Speaker 4 00:23:37
Thank you.
Speaker 4 00:24:08
Busted. What? Nothing. Huh? Nothing.
Speaker 1 00:25:05
I'm assuming you don't have room for this guy. I'm just trying to put, I'm going to put like something down here, try to make sure it's always plastic. Just so you know. If I'm going to put a cup down here, I want to try to make sure it's always plastic. Yeah.
Speaker 4 00:26:04
Okay.
Speaker 1 00:27:24
Was this stuff there already? Okay, so you know he intended to sit there to eat, right? That's not the point. Would you be okay with this? You need to sit there. You're just checking something off and then you're going to get up and go. So move. Why?
Speaker 4 00:27:54
Thank you. You're. 
Speaker 1 00:28:12
Messing with the wrong guy here. No, I didn't ask you to give him just enough space. So, you didn't give me what I wanted, so now you don't get what you want. Just remember that.
Speaker 4 00:28:24
I'm going to go ahead and get started.
Speaker 4 00:34:44
Thank you.
Speaker 3 00:39:40
I just want to be really sensitive when I talk. So, I told Krista," I'm glad I said it like this." I said," Also, I want to tell you that Maddie is going to be trying out for Jess's team." And she said," We have Micah doing the same." And I said," Okay, cool," and then like gave a sign likeooh. You know? She goes," Do you know when the practices are?" Micah practiced last week but I haven't heard anything. What do you want me to say?
Speaker 1 00:40:07
It's in the message thread. That's how I found it. I went to the message. Mondays and Thursdays at five. I would just say that the team snap says, think Mondays and Thursdays at five. And do you need a ride? He's not going to make that meeting.
Speaker 3 00:40:35
I know, but. It's not my monkey, it's not my circus.
Speaker 1 00:40:39
No, I'm. This is me and you talking.
Speaker 3 00:40:41
This is me being more grateful than ever that Jesse's having Maddie going through the trying out process. So that way, we don't.
Speaker 1 00:40:49
This is this is me telling you that that conversation this is not my speculation. I know. This is a conversation that's happening. He's not gonna make the team Oh, Jesse told you? Mhm He's. 
Speaker 4 00:41:03
Too inconsistent. 
Speaker 1 00:41:12
If if he was in one sport, then Jessie would try him out. But or or would would have parents. I told I didn't have the heart to send the Kendricks away, so it's like Miss Ashley's in the back working. If you get too loud, I gotta send you away. They're like okay.
Speaker 3 00:41:47
I said okay, can you talk? Let me know when you're thinking about it. You want me to put this foot? She's telling us. I got it! Can you imagine? No. Sunny don't like that one.
Speaker 1 00:42:03
Number seven. Fifteen!
Speaker 4 00:42:12
Oh my gosh, that was so close! That's a green one.
Speaker 1 00:42:19
Oh, that's where it is. It's your food. It's our food really. You're gonna eat dinner for both of us. I want you though. Then you don't eat. I love you though That's okay. 
Speaker 1 00:43:00
Okay, then we should have a lot of work to do. Okay. So. 
Speaker 4 00:43:36
Why are you doing it? Okay, that's good. Yeah,
Speaker 3 00:43:51
You're taking my. I could try after the tea. This is why it's important to do your teeth. Yeah, keep this up. Keep this up. Hi! No! She quit!
Speaker 3 00:44:07
All you can do is just be encouraging to your friends that are trying out and push them to be better. So that they know. They better show it. You know, just be encouraging, kind of just. I don't know if they're gonna. Would they know that I'm on the team? No, nobody will know until the coach makes a decision, okay?
Speaker 1 00:44:25
You can't be done at first.
Speaker 3 00:44:30
Okay. So she's gonna take you up on that. I don't know if you're gonna take him home though.
Speaker 4 00:44:40
Oh. She can take this. Yeah. But. 
Speaker 2 00:44:54
She can be done if I'm still working.
Speaker 1 00:44:58
That's not the situation that's in front of me right now? Right?
Speaker 1 00:45:05
I don't think you've had one week where you've done more chores than him. Maybe one day, but never in a week. I'm happy to check that, but I think he does more work than you do every single week. So the fact that you're trying to pull that right now. And by the way, dude. This, I don't like.
Speaker 1 00:45:34
You started messing with me over there. You're continuing it right now. You are not being a team player right now. I'll have none of it, okay? I really, really, really want you on my team. Okay? But right now you're choosing Team Ben and I can't have that.
Speaker 4 00:47:36
I know.
Speaker 4 00:48:54
How are you?
Speaker 1 00:48:57
Thank you. No problem. Have a good day.
Speaker 1 00:49:40
Um, why don't you ask your brothers? If you need any help. That's not what I asked.
Speaker 4 00:49:44
But yeah. Hey,
Speaker 1 00:49:45
While you're working, is it okay if I play?
Speaker 2 00:49:48
Is it okay while you guys are working, is it okay if I play? I don't think he gets it.
Speaker 1 00:49:56
What would you say in this situation? No. Right? So we gotta we have to pick up Micah as well. Micah wants to try out for the team so we gotta leave. 
Speaker 1 00:50:10
Five minutes. So. Yeah, it's only been five minutes. We gotta, They're gonna have to leave in five minutes too. Once I leave, they gotta leave. Once I leave they gotta leave. So, in five minutes. 
Speaker 1 00:52:41
So Put the bottom in like that from an angle and then slide it in. Okay. If we just do this, it's a race. So you see nothing.
Speaker 1 00:53:00
But like with Maddie, right? You knew I wanted you to move and you moved like an inch. And I shouldn't even need to get involved. What happened there? It's like, Dad, I don't really care. I'm mad at Maddie so I'm gonna screw you too. That's what you did.
Speaker 1 00:53:29
And then there was the thing before that, right? Honestly, I'm trying to remember right now, but you and I have gotten into it twice since we got home, right? Why? I thought we had came to an understanding yesterday.
Speaker 4 00:53:58
So what what's bothering you?
Speaker 1 00:54:00
Nothing. Okay, do you understand why I why I'm having a hard time believing that? Yeah. Two times your actions told me to go screw myself. Today. And, you're telling me nothing's wrong, which just means that it leaves me with the conclusion that Ben doesn't really care. As long as Ben's getting what he wants, he doesn't really care about anybody else. So is that what I'm supposed to believe? I want you to think about this, dude. Hey. See, even right now you're like. I don't like the attention, I'm out. And you'd rather. look at. You'd rather spit on our relationship which I think is pretty special.
Speaker 1 00:54:56
Then to be vulnerable. Okay, I'm your dad, I love you, I'm going to accept that and I'll keep on working on you. Okay? Meaning I'll keep on one day I'm going to make you feel so comfortable with me that you'll tell me any of that. But You've got to know, I also want you to know that this is what you're choosing. Your dad will always come for you, but your friends won't. Your brothers won't. Brothers maybe. Okay? Think about this, yeah?
Speaker 5 00:55:59
You ready to go? I need to go give this green one.
Speaker 1 00:56:03
Okay, let's hurry up and then we're going to leave. Do you see it right there? Yeah.
Speaker 4 00:56:08
All right. Sorry. One of three! I need to go give her that back. No,
Speaker 1 00:56:24
It's never even that easy. So. Um. I'm getting as a backpack, but he hasn't been to water bottles,
Speaker 4 00:56:34
I guess. Oh man. Hey. Oh, it's not you. Uhhuh.
Speaker 1 00:57:23
Well, I think you gotta understand AI is a tool.
Speaker 3 00:57:33
I don't know if you're taking this car or not with the crack on it or whatever. I gotta go.
Speaker 1 00:57:43
Hey, water bottle dude, I got your backpack. There's no water bottle on it. So sorry, keep on?
Speaker 1 00:58:05
Mhm. Well, look, I mean, I think you you and and not only that, but and I'm not trying to attack your group either. But it's like. I didn't find one. I need you to double check it. It's a black little one. Okay, I need you to double check. Um You know just a kind of blanket go well, I don't like that, you know? It's like man, you know it can be what I mean It's gonna do ten times more, For the world and the internet did, you know. Okay, have a drum. So. Um. Say. 
Speaker 4 00:58:52
That again.
Speaker 1 00:59:06
Right, right, and that's why I say you know, I mean. You know. Tool, right So. Goodbye.
Speaker 1 00:59:43
You Are breaking up a little bit.
Speaker 7 00:59:45
Oh, I was saying I need to send some. I need to remind myself to send calendar invites to make sure that the US both campaigns are on our radar.
Speaker 1 00:59:57
Oh, yeah, they agree. Yeah, it was kind of weird that, Not that I cared because the game kind of wasn't worth worth it, But it was weird to watch the game without our little text thread going back and forth.
Speaker 7 01:00:17
Oh yeah. I think that both Chad and I were still a little butthurt after the Rams lost. Yeah.
Speaker 7 01:00:35
Yeah, so it's kind of like I don't care about this game.
Speaker 1 01:00:39
Well, I was just, I was, I was the same. What I told Dad is like initially I was going to be like, you know, oh, oh, oh, watch the game because it's the game, but i'll work on my laptop while it's on. And then the boys were all excited about it turns out they were more excited about that. Um bad buddy, the snacks, no. No, the boys didn't even know who Bad Bunny was. Um, and we watched we we watched the TV USA one instead. Nice. So, um, and then uh But the only one that watched it with me was Ben. So I mean the other boys watched some of it, but You know Maddie ran in when the commercials came back on, so he could watch the commercials.
Speaker 7 01:01:33
Still there was like, uh- huh, this commercial. Like. Commercials weren't that great.
Speaker 1 01:01:41
No, no, I think there is the Duncan Donuts commercial was good. You know?
Speaker 7 01:01:47
Yep, that's the one.
Speaker 1 01:01:48
And I think I laughed at another one, but I don't remember what it was. Oh Baby Yoda was funny yeah.
Speaker 7 01:01:56
Oh okay yeah. 
Speaker 1 01:01:58
Oh yeah yeahum, And the one withum. Alexa. Yeah, the Alexa plus one withum with uh Thor. Can't think of his name.
Speaker 7 01:02:11
Oh yeah, I don't know if I thought. 
Speaker 1 01:02:16
It was.
Speaker 7 01:02:18
I thought that the Xfinity graphic art was pretty creative.
Speaker 1 01:02:23
It was creative, it was like eh but okay, But yeah, actually the Alexa plus one I am actually gonna go with that one over Duncan.
Speaker 7 01:02:32
Okay, I'll go find it.
Speaker 1 01:02:35
So, particularly the bear part. Yeah. So if I say that you'll know when when I you know appreciate it. Yeah. So Oh cuckoo everything good with you?
Speaker 7 01:02:56
Yeah just uhum about to pull up and pick up the little boy. 
Speaker 1 01:03:02
Good, well, you've got good timing because I am about to pick up another little boy. So, all right. All right, man.
Speaker 7 01:03:12
We'll chat later. You got it. Have a good one.
Speaker 1 01:03:43
They make you higher. So, the issue is that when you get in an accident, the um what's happening is so feel feel your neck. Okay and then just below your neck, you've got a a bone coming out of it coming on going either both ways. You feel it? It's called your collarbone. Right and when you're not high enough. 
Speaker 1 01:04:13
Your seatbelt goes over your collarbone, and then when you get in an accident, you go forward and the seatbelt stops you, breaks your collarbone. Yeah, especially for little kids. So that's what they're trying to prevent. Yeah, is it going over your collarbone? Not really, right? So it's gonna catch your shoulder. No.

Speaker 6 01:06:51
Do you have school? No, Weum oh today, it's like a homework day for me because you just did yeah today. Wednesday and Friday are my homework days. So then we have two days of school. Yeah I get up I'm gonna camp I mean, I mean. I'm not that lucky. I mean, if anything, Evan's not lucky. Evan's the only boy in his class. So he has to play with me and all my friends. And one of and some of my friends don't even know how to play sports. So it's really just me and Evan messing around. And then I like talk to my friends at school whenever I get bored.
Speaker 4 01:07:48
Come on. There you go.
Speaker 4 01:08:24
Who controls your day at school?
Speaker 6 01:08:27
My mom. Is your mom like the principal? I mean, kind of. What do you do in school? We really just learn. Although, I mean, I learn in math because my mom's my teacher in math. So like she explains it, like all my other teachers, Teachers, you're like, can you do this? My dad got it. I'm like, got it. And then and then I just go like this. Trying to think. And then my mom explains it. She's all, okay, you need to carry that down. Then you need to divide it by that. Then you need to times um. What are you what are you on? Like times points? No, I'm doing um. division Division? Um. It's like. 
Speaker 6 01:09:24
It's like division, but instead of just so you divide, then once you divide it, you multiply it, then you subtract it.
Speaker 6 01:09:57
I need you like me to type paragraphs. Uh, so what I do is I, so what I usually do is.
Speaker 5 01:10:05
I get some. I get a piece of we get a piece of paper. We need to make it based on something, We then we type it out. We make it into a story, and then we have to write it down in a paper with pens.
Speaker 6 01:10:18
We have to do all of it with pens. Oh that sucks. All I need to do is so what I am doing is right now. I'm doing. Picture writing. It's actually really fun. So, They'll give you like pictures, and then you need to type a paragraph about the picture. They'll give you like multiple pictures and then you use your own imagination. It's actually really fun and all I gotta do is since my hand, my handwriting is really, really bad so nobody can read it. Everybody else's handwriting. Mine is good but I used to sign not to make it good. Everybody else's handwriting in my class is good.
Speaker 6 01:10:56
So, and so what I do is everybody writes it. And then I'm the one voice typing, typing. Meanwhile, everybody's like this. Once upon a time, well they're still on the boat. Once upon a time there were five blah and they all. Just under the. Everybody on. Everybody in my school can write so.
Speaker 6 01:11:27
I mean, not bad, but so slow. Then I write really fast, but I write all. I mean, I can write good, but I just like. I mean, if I am doing something important afterwards or whatever the best they can. But, if I am just at school and like the teachers don't care because like half of the teachers, they've only most of all. Basically all my teachers have barely been with me. So like they just assume my handwriting is really bad, because I do it really bad at school. But like if I'm, if I'm like out and about, and my mom says to like write my best, I'll write my best. I can write really good. Well, our teacher does, and when we try to do it, when I try it, I can write beautiful. But when I don't, it's awful and nobody can read it. Our teacher gives us these small lines just to write. 
Speaker 6 01:12:26
And my teacher gave me like this big lines to write in. And then I go like this. Skip the lines? No, I just tried to make my teacher hate me. Oh yeah. Well, not hate me but like get mad at me. And when the first time we did writing on the first time in school, she said to draw a picture, then I wrote the word picture. I wrote. What? Yeah,
Speaker 1 01:12:50
Wrote. I wrote. The word picture.
Speaker 6 01:12:53
Yeah, writing. You don't say," riding is a word, But we're we're talk, you said you, you I was I riding the word picture. No, it's broke because it's past tense. I can't believe I taught you first grade that crayon right there. I taught you yellow clarity is no use.
Speaker 1 01:13:16
Hey, wait wait wait wait whoa whoa like let's you know that's that's something that. 
Speaker 6 01:13:22
Like we all kind of make mistakes on learning and stuff, but we don't make fun of anybody for it. We're learning off of like really good artists. And honestly, I kind of sketch the whole time. And then when my teacher looks at me, I flip back to the page I'm supposed to be on. You read about stuff in art? Yeah, I read about the artists and then I like paint what my teacher wants me to paint. Oh, it must be so cool. Oh no, it's really fun because I get to sketch.
Speaker 6 01:14:21
So my friends. Cause all I do is like this the whole time, Like once I I sketch in the back very back page, and then she comes over cause I have a little tab, I flip backwards to that.
Speaker 5 01:14:33
Once I sketch someone, One of my friends. 
Speaker 6 01:14:36
And I write them like since Im really good at art. One time i got really bored. I sketched my teacher, and i made her look really small and out. She got really mad at me. Let's see, i left that. 
Speaker 4 01:15:59
Thank you.
