45 Plays1 month ago
In this week’s episode, we play a game created by the man himself: is it brain cancer, or is it just Doug being Doug?
Off the coattails of a hilarious accident in an NYC hotel room, we discuss and dissect recent moments that leave us all wondering what is the underlying cause of odd behavior these days?

Welcome and Marathon Monday
00:00:05
Speaker
back in the Boston stew.
00:00:09
Speaker
Welcome. What do you have to say? Welcome. Okay. I said welcome. That's all i got. That's pretty good. um Okay. It's Marathon Monday in the Boston area. So no one here is to work except for us. So we're going to make this one quick.
00:00:24
Speaker
It also is um a few days after 250th anniversary of Paul Revere's ride. For those of you who weren't aware, it's a really big thing. It's a really big deal in Boston. You can't get around anywhere. It's pretty crowded.
00:00:38
Speaker
were you dad were you excited for the 250th or what were your feelings around it, if any? It's so complex
Introducing the Special Guest
00:00:44
Speaker
for me. You know, i have so many different emotions around Paul Revere riding and telling people the British are coming.
00:00:51
Speaker
He ate it. Yeah. He ate. He ate Those are your feelings and emotions around it. He in the North End. But anyway. but Was he large? No, that's just like where the ride started. Oh, okay.
00:01:02
Speaker
Well, Italian food. I don't know. It's so good there. It is very good. Anyway. he had a cannoli and then he went. Shockingly, we're not here to talk about Paul Revere as much as we could. We could do a whole Paul Revere episode. Maybe that that's next. That's for mom. That's for mom. Oh, true. She'll probably get her tri-cornered hat. What, dad? Maybe down the road. Yeah, down the road. today, we just wanted to take advantage of being home with our specialist guest. um
Health Update and Chemo Treatments
00:01:27
Speaker
The episodes are a lot more interesting when we get your perspective and get to hear from you. um That's scary.
00:01:34
Speaker
A little bit. I know, but you we pulled the fans and you are the favorite. You are Well, that's awfully nice. um Thanks, everyone. But yeah. We could start with just a general update.
00:01:44
Speaker
That seems like a good way to start. It's been a bit. Okay. Oh, from me? Yeah. Well, yeah. Sure. The subject. How's it going? It's going pretty well. ah I have a separate issue from the brain cancer, which is a sciatic back, and that's been...
00:02:02
Speaker
More distracting and more whimper inducing than ah anything else. Cancer wise, I feel fine. Things seem to be checking out well, not a lot of growth or progress, which is sort of what you hope for. So great that is good. And no one wants to hear about my cranky back, including me. So there you go.
00:02:24
Speaker
Well, as you so gently put it a couple of years ago when you were having these back issues, you have been walking around like a question mark. Yes. Yeah, it's a joy. that's what i That's what I tell Will that I'm doing when I'm hungover don't feel well is that I'm walking around like a question mark. It just feels good to hunch sometimes.
00:02:44
Speaker
but Well, as I said to your mother this morning, i I don't think I'll run today. It's Marathon
Humor and Cultural Anecdotes
00:02:49
Speaker
Monday here in Boston. Which is Bib up for grabs. Yeah, which is funny just because I don't run.
00:02:55
Speaker
Anyway. You wanted to run with a lobster bib, right? Yes. but But in terms of treatment and stuff you're done with chemo for the time being right yes finish the sixth round of a series of treatments the five five twenty three so you take it for five days you're off for 23 and then you go to the next we've done six of those so we're done for now yeah what's the like how long do you do another scan and then or how does it work I'm genuinely asking. him I don't know. I didn't think you were pretending. Not like probing. Probing.
00:03:30
Speaker
I have a scan, I think, in early May. Yeah. Okay. So. Very nice. And it's sort of dependent on results? Yeah. Cool. Okay. Well, that's sort of good, sort of weird.
00:03:42
Speaker
Yeah, both. I mean, this is all new territory for us, so we're playing along. Well, it's good to know that you're feeling good minus the back. um And yeah, if I didn't, if I didn't have a back, I'd feel great, except I'd be a jellyfish, but yes, that would be awesome. I don't think if you didn't have a back, you'd auto be a jellyfish. I think there's some other steps involved to like, like grow tentacles.
00:04:06
Speaker
No, I've, I've actually, i actually understand that. um That's good. I don't, but I, it made a lot of sense to me for better for worse. um Well, one of the things that we've been discussing on and off is when,
00:04:21
Speaker
like weird things happen or just, I guess, abnormal stuff goes on. If it's brain cancer or if it's just like being missed something else. Yeah. Whether that's being you like spurts of idiocy, you know, like all the good stuff. BC or DG.
00:04:38
Speaker
Yeah. BC or DG brain cancer, Doug Gladstone. um Or tequila. or Well, that's a different topic. not, I'm actually not drinking. As much. is that rude no no you're really not drinking much yeah you're really not drinking much um well what I mean I know you have a couple of specific instances and there's also i feel like mom will often call or text me or Haley and be like oh like dad woke up in the middle of the afternoon and he thought it was the next day and I'm like yeah I did that yesterday like it's
00:05:12
Speaker
There's some stuff that I think is just a regular things. And then there's other stuff that seems a little more out of the ordinary and we just don't know what to attribute it to. Yeah, no, it's hard that way and in the sense that and certainly your mother look at things and say, oh, you know, that's brain cancer. And it's like, yeah, I don't, since COVID, I haven't quite known what day of the week it was. That's, you know, me being me or COVID being COVID or whatever. You can attribute it to anything you want. but Retirement too. I think just working. i mean, you're still, I think, involved to a degree, but just working less, like it's less, I don't know. I sometimes get confused what day of the week it is. I can distinguish between weekday and weekend, but that's pretty much only because of work. And sometimes I can't even do that.
00:05:56
Speaker
um Yes, and. Like, I don't know what you just said, and I don't think that's brain cancer. I think that's Doug just not listening. Okay, well, great. Or am I not making sense? Both things can be true. But no, I think that it's interesting when you're faced with something like this, it's sort of hard to not overthink or overanalyze everything.
00:06:15
Speaker
So it's the way of like, oh, you forgot like your wallet or your glasses. Like, is that ah deeper meaning? Or is that just like I was being an idiot for two seconds? Like, I think it's hard to not relate everything, but also like, I don't know, like it's, where's the line sort of thing.
00:06:34
Speaker
Well, yeah. And that, I can give you a good example where I think, ah to me, I know it's me, but you know, there is a line that gets crossed and you, you think about it differently.
00:06:47
Speaker
So if, if I can tell you a quick story, was staying in, uh, we were in four different hotels over the course of five or six days. Um, one at Tampa, one at you know, wherever Longo Key. And then we were up in our house here in Boston. Then we were in New York.
00:07:05
Speaker
In New York, uh, I got up to use the bathroom in the middle of the night, which is not terribly unusual for people of my vintage. I do it too.
00:07:17
Speaker
Or your vintage. Um, and but, uh, you know, little disoriented, not, know, I wasn't terribly confused. I opened the door and I was like, wow, lights are really bright in this bathroom. Why did,
00:07:29
Speaker
beck he leaves them on and I, you know, stepped forward and the door shut behind me and I was in the hallway of the hotel. This is now 3.30 in the morning. So it wasn't the bathroom, it was the hallway. Yes. And I didn't know that because, you know, i was disoriented, not my usual place to go.
00:07:45
Speaker
ah The problem of course was I didn't have a key to the door, nor did I have any clothes on. Like zero, none. Zero. So I'm,
00:07:55
Speaker
you know, and I don't want to knock really loudly because the way the hotel was set up, other people would come to the door. And that was not my goal. My goal was to hide things. Fashion a loincloth. Yeah.
00:08:08
Speaker
Yeah. I was going looked around the hotel hallway. Not, I didn't go very far. I just looked around for someone's, um, you know room service tray or something so I could pick up a napkin instead of having a do not disturb plastic sign covering my groin. Is that what you were using?
00:08:24
Speaker
Well, was going to. That was plan B. He
Family Dynamics and Communication
00:08:26
Speaker
was making lots of different plans. So just to be like so crystal clear, like completely naked. I think we were already clear on that. I don't know.
00:08:36
Speaker
You said no clothes. Underwear is not clothes, is it? Yeah. yeah theaters Buck or butt naked? it Apparently both work. Carry on. Well, apparently none of it worked because there I was in the hallway.
00:08:46
Speaker
In any event, I knocked on the door lightly. I rang the bell and your mother, who was in bed in the room, thought someone, because there were drunk people throughout the night in the hotel hallways before I was out there myself, completely naked. um Other drunk people.
00:09:08
Speaker
No, I was sober too. I know. I think this is Doug, not B.C. But anyway. Um, mom thought I was in bed because they've extra large pillows and they were, you know, I'm proud. Why would you be not in bed and in the whole. And I'm the size of an extra large pillow and, uh, within reason, but in any event, so I rang the bell, the bell sounds like a fire alarm. So she came to the door and she said, who's there? And I said, me.
00:09:32
Speaker
And she thought, since I was in her mind sleeping in the bed, she was like me who, and I'm like, Your husband. And that's just about when she looked through the people and saw ah her words, tiny naked man standing outside of the door.
00:09:52
Speaker
I have lost some weight, so i muscle weight, so I am pretty skinny. event Pretty naked. and And definitely naked. So um she let me in, which was really nice. nobody you know Nobody saw me that I'm aware of. That you're aware of. Yeah.
00:10:10
Speaker
Someone is like watching security footage somewhere having a field day. I would skip ahead if I were them. But anyway, um so then, you know, once you're over that, we went to sleep. And every 45 minutes, Becky or I started laughing hysterically.
00:10:28
Speaker
And the other one joined in for like the whole night. We just thought it was the funniest thing in the world. It is. And I was like, I can't wait to text the girls. But I think I won't because it's like four in the morning.
00:10:40
Speaker
But it was it was great. And so, you know, being able to talk to you guys the next day and say, hey, guess what happened? ah It's like, nobody's going to guess that. No, in the way that you guys prefaced it too, like you were like, we have a crazy story for you.
00:10:55
Speaker
Yeah, I felt like someone else did something insane. Like no part of my brain went to, oh, dad was buck naked in the hallway. mean, glad no part of your brain went to that because what? Yeah. I also do i don't i don't think I knew that you like slept fully in the nude, so that was another factor.
00:11:11
Speaker
Yeah, i do, unless you know people are in the house besides your mom. so And then you're modest. Then I'm modest, yes. Yeah, then you wear boxers for modesty. Yes. It's really important. So you think that was just Doug Fluke? You don't think that was BC-related? Doug Fluke? Now I'm picturing him as a fish. Yeah.
00:11:30
Speaker
um Made me think of Doug Flutie, who was a quarterback yeah for BC, but not and not brain cancer. but Boston College. Boston College, yeah. Another So many acronyms. Yes, indeed. So, no, I think it was just me being, you know, an idiot.
00:11:43
Speaker
Also,
Mental Noise and Coping Mechanisms
00:11:44
Speaker
like, middle of the night, like, disorientation. And to your credit. Yes. To your credit, to the, like, where the hallway was, is the positioning, the positioning of it is, like, where your bathroom is.
00:11:58
Speaker
in our house here. Correct. So you were going in the right direction. just the fact that you let the door close behind you is the most concerning part. Doug being stupid, I think. it wasn't I wasn't confused other than thought I was getting into the bathroom, but I wasn't like,
00:12:15
Speaker
oh, the door closed behind me, I'm in a hallway. It was just not like that big of a deal. It was kind of like, oh, yeah, exactly. du ah The thing also is like, if that happened to anyone else, no one would be like, something might be wrong with your brain. It's just like that because of what's going on, like there's a little part of you is like, oh shit, do you think that that's like a part of this?
00:12:41
Speaker
And I think this could have happened to you three years ago too, you know? Yeah. Or maybe it did, but it didn't. um So yeah, so that was sort of prompted, I think, this topic, but I don't know what other things you want to know. Is it Doug or brain cancer?
00:12:54
Speaker
I mean, probably every day there's something. but Every day there's something little. That was definitely like the biggest incident. um I mean, I'd hope. And I think probably our favorite that we'll talk about for years. I can't tell you like how The level of excitement that I had just knowing that I would be able to tell my friends this story. Like i went into work on the Monday and I was like, guys, guess what? Telling, it has brought me back like my ability to tell stories, which is crazy because I don't have that. Are you even practicing?
00:13:23
Speaker
No, but this story, i yeah got i immediately only told some people, but then I was actually with a small group of people on a Friday night. We were like playing games. It was really fun. And i was like oh having some wine a few glasses. rather be in the hallway naked. No, it was really fun. We had like a wine game night.
00:13:40
Speaker
And i none of these, this, it was like a small group of my friends, close friends, but not for some reason, none of them had heard this story because hadn't seen them. And we had like a few glasses of wine and I was like, oh my God, everyone was sitting. i like stood up, like got so theatrical about this. And I was like, but here's the kicker.
00:13:57
Speaker
He doesn't sleep, and he sleeps completely naked. That's the best. When he dropped that. eye show i'm like in hallway. Completely, completely naked. It's like Clue. In the hallway of the W with the... In people who are howling. With the do not disturb sign. The do not disturb sign.
00:14:14
Speaker
Anyway, so that yeah that happened, and that prompted this conversation, but I don't know if there are other incidents that I'm not aware of that we have to decide, is it Doug or brain cancer? I think, like...
00:14:25
Speaker
some of the little things, especially the ones that mom will bring up, like, oh, we have a dinner reservation at seven. And like, you'll ask a couple of times when it is there's stuff like that. That's just because you're usually, i think, historically, just very, very, very on it. So anything that's falling south of that feels like, okay, this is a change. But I also think and we've discussed this, like,
00:14:48
Speaker
it there's so much going on in your head right now. I'm not talking tumors. I'm talking just like anxiety, worry, just there's so grappling. Yeah, there's like soundtrack that's on loud all the time. Yeah, and is it Joe Jackson or Brain Cancer?
00:15:03
Speaker
That's our next episode. It's usually Warren Zevon for Poor poor pit Pitiful Me. Oh, yeah. What is that song? ah We've been listening it. know want him to sing it. I'm not going to. Shit.
00:15:15
Speaker
Shit. So le yeah, I think there, you know, like the, there are so many plans and things on the calendar. I don't listen when I ask, I ask. yeah It's like going, you know, guys don't ask directions. Like I'll go anywhere and ask directions and I just won't listen to the answer.
00:15:30
Speaker
Right. Oh, I think you gave that problem to me. Yeah. um but there's it's like ps Yeah. I mean, it's like just constant brain fog, I feel like. And we, I think have a element of, and not even brain fog. Cause I think that has a different sort of connotation.
00:15:45
Speaker
But we have an element of that too. Like I yeah i think about like, but this is even how I describe my brain on a day-to-day basis. Like it's full of 75% of just me very clearly remembering things that don't matter at all. Like the entire script to The Incredibles or Finding Nemo or like lyrics a song. Confused why think that doesn't matter. That's really cool. I mean, like in the grand scheme of things that you could have in your brain.
00:16:08
Speaker
But I think it's just the capacity of like what you're holding in your brain. Now there's so much more space dedicated to worry and wondering and just thinking about well sure but just thinking about like all of this like you're never not thinking about the situation that you're in so there's just less space for new information I guess or just information that is I don't know Like I understand why that could be a factor of why you're just thinking less clearly. When I say a soundtrack playing, it's not all music. It's there's just noise.
00:16:39
Speaker
yeah And it's, you know, a lot of it can be anxiety or anticipation or concern or what's the next thing or when did they tell me I was supposed to be at dinner because i wasn't listening you know that kind of thing it's hard to focus I can imagine because I feel that way and I yeah and it's but it's distraction it's not cancer yeah I mean you know it eventually will be I think like just sort of going off of that like there's I guess like more of the short-term things of like asking the same question or like not remembering like if we talked about something but again it's like
00:17:09
Speaker
that's a balance like maybe a part of that is like because there's shit in your brain but also maybe a part of that is because um what shit and i don't like to say the t or or maybe there's that's a part of like just like overall like better or to say shit i don't think those things are synonymous whatever i'm just saying i'm just reiterating that like yeah a lot of it is just like overwhelming lack of focus stuff going on and maybe it's a combination like ah maybe it's like a big pot and in the pot there's like a little bit of brain cancer a little bit of confusion a little bit of Doug a little bit of that and maybe it's all mixed together and there's no way to decipher what's what like maybe it's just like who knows but yeah yeah no I mean I've always you know the internal dialogue that you have going in your head that most people have can sometimes be loud and distracting and sometimes it's not loud and not distracting
00:17:57
Speaker
yeah I have a question when you speak to yourself in your head do you and I have a lot of trouble i call myself sir yes sure um but do you speak like third person first person or is it second person I guess I don't do you say like you me Haley I say we we oh so yeah that's the that's the like okay we got to get up right now I do the same thing Yeah, because I'm talking to myself and I'm considering that another person. Yes, I do the exact same. That's so funny. I say girl a lot.
00:18:28
Speaker
To yourself. Yeah, like come on, girl. that' Maybe that also falls under we. But there are some people that are like, okay, I have to do this. have to do this. Or it's like, all right, Emma. like you know But I think we is, that's how I do it at least.
00:18:40
Speaker
Yeah. I'm like, all right, we have, we got to get going. and Like, come on. Yeah. I had such a bad back problem overnight. And this is not, nobody should worry about me, but sympathy wise, I don't care.
00:18:51
Speaker
I,
Health Insights and Remarkable Progress
00:18:52
Speaker
I was trying to find a place to sleep that was comfortable and I couldn't, and I was on the floor of our living room. And then I was like, all right, guys, let's get up here. Gentlemen, let's try and let's try and find another spot. And, know, our teams.
00:19:06
Speaker
And i was I was like, stop whimpering. Let's go, guys. so And break. I'm picturing like 27 Doug's bear crawling down the stairs to find a new spot. I'm picturing like in like an office setting when they're like, all right, team, let's get our boots on the ground. okay Why are you talking like that? Spot team. Yes.
00:19:23
Speaker
Like, Roger. God. I think I do that too, but I don't know. Or I'll say girl. Girl, I think falls under we. Yeah. Come girl. That's where like- ah No, yeah, no, girl is actually- Yes, you're right. If it's not plural.
00:19:37
Speaker
Come on, girls. you don't have a whole team working for you? I don't know. No, I don't know. You should get a team. It's better. um But yeah. Yeah. Do you find that you are often questioning, like, is this brain cancer? Is this me? Or?
00:19:56
Speaker
George Logan Airport. Oh, whoa. Do you remember where we were the last time that we heard those fighter jets? I don't like it at all. No, but do remember last year? no We were, we don't need to do this part of it. This is now just conversation. Oh yeah.
00:20:12
Speaker
We no, so dad, dad, this was like, you had been in the hospital, I think for three days. And this was exactly this time last year. We're referencing this because we just had to take a pause because we heard fighter jets go over. And it sounds like the house is about to get totally bombed. Like it's really close. really don't it. It's alarming. But I remember, Hayley, we were sitting downstairs in the kitchen and we just got back from the hospital and we heard this huge noise. And it it honestly sounded like our house was about to get absolutely bombed.
00:20:40
Speaker
And we looked at each other and we were like, that we were just so we were like I mean and whatever it would have been a long day and we were just both like we were like yeah it's gonna happen it's gonna happen you know the cheers I find that to be interesting and surprising but when I woke up in the hospital after wrecking my car after having a seizure which caused the car accident I kind of you know I looked around I saw Emma I saw did I see you maybe not right away not right away and I was like
00:21:11
Speaker
okay, I'm in a hospital. I knew nothing because they had me in a you know drug-induced coma. And I was like, okay, if this is what it is, it's what it is. And it's I don't feel that way, but that's that was that voice talking myself. Well, what's what's your other option when you're in a situation like that, right? Like to be so, so, so up. Like, I don't know. You sort of have to be at peace with whatever's going on. Yeah, yeah but it sort of seems like What's dark and sad? It shouldn't be.
00:21:37
Speaker
yeah It's dark and sad, but I do think, like, in a deeper way, it's peaceful. It's like, all right. Better to be like that than to wake up and be like... Well, always. Unless you're donkey, yeah. I was just going to say, when you have these, like,
00:21:51
Speaker
is it BC or is it DG situations? Do you feel that you yourself are questioning which one it is? Or do you think like mom is questioning more or we're questioning more like friends?
00:22:03
Speaker
Yeah, I don't. I mean, I'm not attributing much of it to brain cancer because I know how I operate. Yeah. You know, to yourself. Not knowing what day of the week it is, is sort of me.
00:22:14
Speaker
You know, it's not like I don't know what day of the week it is. Should I put on a suit and go to work? Uh, it's more like, but, um, uh, we used to wear like a sport jacket back in the day, back in the day. Oh, wow. Yeah.
00:22:29
Speaker
Mad men. Mad men. Yeah. Uh, without the drinking and without the sex. But they anyway, um, uh, I don't know what the point was and that's me, not brain cancer.
00:22:41
Speaker
Yeah. I get it. But I do have brain cancer. So, There's got to be some element of something in there. I think it's a mixture. Yes. Like the pot.
00:22:53
Speaker
Just like the pot. I just wonder how long, like, because just because the tumors are so slow growing, like, i just wonder when they started. They're not growing. Yeah. That's the amazing Yeah, but when
Finding Joy in Family Moments
00:23:04
Speaker
they begin. Yeah, when they start. Because it certainly didn't just pop up while you were driving and then cause the accident, like it was brewing before.
00:23:11
Speaker
It had to be, but that's a year ago and there's been zero growth of the tumors. We've obviously treated them with radiation and with chemo, but it there was no growth for the four months before we got the diagnosis.
00:23:24
Speaker
Right. So like, not even, I was go to say in theory, but not even in theory, in actuality, this time last year, they were the same size, yes which is extremely rare for this diagnosis. This is an aggressive disease that grows quickly.
00:23:37
Speaker
Yeah, that's that. I think that's the whole reason why the stats are what they are, why it's uber, uber dangerous and why it's so incredibly heartbreaking. Like to have this and again, knock on wood. Wood. um But like it's but it's just so it's miraculous almost. And we know that it's not going to be forever, but it is so wonderful that that is the situation that we're in right now.
00:24:00
Speaker
It's already defying like odds. Oh, yeah. Well, you're not the guard. You're a unicorn. You're defying gravity. Cynthia Ariba. Sorry. Tried to get through a day without that reference to wicked or whatever. At least you knew was wicked.
00:24:13
Speaker
That's cool. well How would I not? You guys talk about it every day.
00:24:19
Speaker
And scene. No. All right. Keep going. What else is up? What else is up? I don't know. I'm thinking just about like summer plans, what we have going on. I feel like we don't have, like we have the next weekends that we're coming home planned, which is nice. But in terms of like,
00:24:36
Speaker
a trip or a vacation and I know things are still up in the air so it's hard to do stuff like that and there's stuff on the list that we do want to do um but we don't really have like I don't think we're doing our family week on Martha's Vineyard this year we just don't have like stuff like that planned so it would be nice to do stuff like that once you get the next like once you cross the next branch or whatever and I think that's what your mother's trying to do well the back will feel better probably hopefully by the end of the week. Do you think? That'd be amazing. Yeah, I think so.
00:25:05
Speaker
All right. Fingers crossed. ah We're working on it. But yeah, I think we want to see where we're standing and what has to happen next and then we'll know what to do. Yeah, i'm totally. like But honestly, and this is where I was going with that, not to sound like, hmm, when are we going on vacation? Like even just coming up here and seeing you and hanging out with mom, like I think that you spend a lot of time apologizing for quote, being boring or like being tired or being whatever. But it's like,
00:25:32
Speaker
I have just as much fun coming here and like sitting on the couch and hanging out with you guys and doing nothing together then, i i don't know, like, yeah, it's fun to like go places and do stuff, but it's, I find the same amount, I think of gratification, just hanging it out, which is nice.
00:25:48
Speaker
Yeah. We've been blessed with low expectations. So it's perfect. also just think we all enjoy each other's presence and like being with each other. So yeah, I think the only thing like that I would change is it would be nice if Lucy was here just as much too. Totally.
00:26:01
Speaker
Um, Totally agree. but Other than that, like hopefully she can do in the summer more. So we yeah, exactly. Yeah. No, we miss her. And, you know, it's, it's nice to have this much family time. I mean, COVID it in retrospect was a benefit in the sense that we were all trapped in one place and could spend time that you normally wouldn't spend time at certain ages.
00:26:25
Speaker
And, you know, yeah we were empty nesters for about a month and then, then and then we all trickled. And then it was an everything nest. And then it wasn't everything next.
00:26:37
Speaker
But yeah, I like being with you guys and with Lucy and with mom just hanging out. I mean, we're, that's the best. Yeah. We've done a lot of things and you know, we can reflect on that or we can watch me pass out watching sports on TV and listen to me snore.
00:26:51
Speaker
You were really snoring. Yeah, you were snoring. But it was mom. Mom was sitting in the middle of you and Shay and you were both snoring like on and off symphony of snores. like sha the dog was snoring. Shay the dog was snoring loud.
00:27:05
Speaker
It was cute. Mom was cracking up. It was really funny. It was really funny. Back and forth like a symphony. a symphony of snoring. Well, anyway, okay thanks for joining us again.
00:27:16
Speaker
Well, that was nice. It's always fun to join you guys. Always so nice to have you, most specialist guest. Oh, thank you. My pals. We'll meet again soon. Okay. That sounds great. I'm happy I'm available.
00:27:28
Speaker

Reflections on Positivity and Impact
00:27:33
Speaker
words of wisdom? Compound Oh, God. That was such a funny conversation because so many of your friends, both of your friends,
00:27:45
Speaker
And Lucy's friends were like, what about love? It's like, yeah, I mean, love. On the side of. I mean, my friends were all like, your dad's a legend. And was like, okay. All of the guys were like, yeah, yeah that's so smart.
00:27:58
Speaker
And then I was having other people text me individually, like, yeah, just you know, I didn't know either. I just didn't want to publicize it. I had a lot of people not say that, but were like, you're lighting up Haley, but you were suspiciously quiet.
00:28:11
Speaker
Like, well. Facts. Yeah, indeed. It's a tough one. Yeah, but it's what is nice, by the way, is you guys creating this to help other people and to help yourselves and me.
00:28:22
Speaker
Yeah, now everyone knows that now everyone has tips and tricks on how to save their money. No, but I mean, just in general, it's an incredibly interesting thing that you've done. This is not my style that I want to be outward about talking about everything, but because you guys created it and want to do it, it's made it more interesting for me.
00:28:41
Speaker
yeah But I mean, you've talked to my oncologist, you've talked to other people and are trying to do good things to help fight this disease. It's not maybe going to save me, but it could be, you know, moving down the road, helping other people. It's good. Yeah, I think we we don't want anyone to have to go through what we're going through, ourselves included. But if we can help even marginally to prevent other families from being in this situation or to just help people that are struggling in similar or drastically different ways than we are like that's a win i think yeah totally agree and i do just like having these conversations on video like that's fun for us yeah yeah i don't think you're gonna spend a ton of time watching in the future but it's you'd be surprised what if our kids don't know how to invest their money and let it grow like you'd be or what if they don't know how funny they are they'll know oh i think they'll know how funny you guys are yeah great
00:29:35
Speaker
Alright. Well, that's a wrap. On that humorous note. Let's go team. Boots on the ground. Boots on the ground. And break.
