Adam Busby
Plus@Onepelaton.Com this is seven funny questions to ask your husband, so play along, ladies.
Co-host or Narrator
Have you ever had family photos at JCPenney?
Adam Busby
Have y' all ever done that? It feels weird right now. I feel like we're, like, taking our kids to the club or something.
Danielle Busby
This is More Than Reality podcast, where we dive into all things faith, family, and marriage and share that there is so much more than the reality that you see on the surface. Welcome to More Than Reality with Adam and Danielle Busby.
Adam Busby
Hello.
Co-host or Narrator
Welcome, guys. This is episode 66 of More Than Reality podcast. This is Adam and Danielle Busby.
Adam Busby
Hi.
Co-host or Narrator
What else we got?
Adam Busby
I'm just excited about my cute little coffee kit.
Co-host or Narrator
I'm a little out of a routine today because we're actually filming on a day that we don't normally film.
Adam Busby
Oh, yeah, it's Sunday. Actually. We never film on Sundays. But I'm like, adam, let's film today or tomorrow.
Co-host or Narrator
This is how we went to church today.
Adam Busby
Hold the roll if you're watching this. Adam. Adam likes to match me a lot. I love that. I. Well, not so much nowadays, but I love a coordinated family. Like, I want everybody to be coordinated.
Co-host or Narrator
She makes fun of me every time I do it.
Adam Busby
But this wasn't coordinated. I'm like, you're straight up.
Co-host or Narrator
It wasn't coordinated because, like, I had no clue. All I knew was you had black pants on, and I saw a black shirt and my.
Adam Busby
My vest was on the put on.
Co-host or Narrator
Black pants with a white shirt, and I was like, I'm gonna wear. I'm gonna wear, like, my. My poncho denim shirt, and then I'll go in the closet, get dressed, and I'll walk out. She was like, oh, nice outfit.
Adam Busby
I'm like, you literally met.
Co-host or Narrator
She loves to coordinate, but that's not. She makes fun of me.
Adam Busby
Listen, coordinating is very different than matching. It's two separate things.
Co-host or Narrator
We got called out at church.
Adam Busby
Everybody, they're like, oh, you're gonna take family pictures?
Co-host or Narrator
Oh, family photos today.
Adam Busby
Oh, yeah, just me and Adam. Because the kids did not coordinate, we're.
Co-host or Narrator
Going straight to JCPenney. Oh, my gosh. That Was.
Adam Busby
I think you talked about that already.
Co-host or Narrator
Did I?
Adam Busby
Yeah, yeah, we did. On, like, one of the episodes in December or. Right. I don't know.
Co-host or Narrator
So funny.
Adam Busby
Like, I was like, people really still go to JCPenney's to have those. Amazing photo. This is not what I would wear. I. They would not wear a blue jean, cute vest with a collar and bow strings. They would wear without a mess.
Co-host or Narrator
Who out there? Leave it. Leave a comment down in the comments about, like, if. Well, I don't know. You may still do it. I'm sorry, but you're amazing. Have you ever had family photos @jcpenney?
Adam Busby
Have you all ever done that?
Co-host or Narrator
I don't think we ever did JCPenney's, but in Lake Charles, we had Ole Mills. That's what it was. Pretty much looked like. Jason is the same thing.
Adam Busby
But I love. I love those. Coming across those.
Co-host or Narrator
You walk in the dark studio with the.
Adam Busby
Brush, the box in the backdrop.
Co-host or Narrator
They change out the backdrops, and all the photos look the same.
Adam Busby
Yeah. So, yeah, we are. Are matching today. Not coordinating. We're matching.
Co-host or Narrator
So we should do a photo shoot. I've gotten a kick out of all the photo, like, people. There was like a. There was like an Instagram trend of the people that. Like siblings that would go and do surprise JCPenney photo shoots and give the photos to their parents for Christmas.
Adam Busby
You know, I feel like we need to do. I feel like we need to do, like, a Danielle sisters and family. Like, I need to plan that and be so fun to even film that and be like, hey, we're gonna go take family. We're gonna go.
Co-host or Narrator
We should do. But how do you know a Busby family vlog of going to JCPenney's and doing.
Adam Busby
Yes.
Co-host or Narrator
The cheesy portraits.
Adam Busby
Cheesy portraits. Like, book the whole day because it ain't gonna be in 10 minutes. But how fun would that be? I've actually been saying, like, how hilarious would that be? But Adam came across when he literally right before we left or right before Christmas. Like, literally. It was actually. Was it Christmas Eve day service church that we went to? I'm like, I need two pairs of black shoes. You're out. Go find two pair of kid black shoes. Which is like, Adam likes to shop, but he. When it comes to, like, dressing the girls or whatever, it's because I can't.
Co-host or Narrator
Keep track of the size and stuff. Because, like, now it used to be whenever the girls were smaller, it was.
Adam Busby
Like, all the same size.
Co-host or Narrator
It was the same sizes. Or there's two sizes and, like, I had that down, like, so I would. And pretty much everything that they wore, it was, like, matching.
Adam Busby
Yeah.
Co-host or Narrator
And so.
Adam Busby
But now we coordinate, because matching is.
Co-host or Narrator
I would just go to a store and I would, oh, they have three of this size and three of this size. Grab them. Good.
Adam Busby
If we were. If we walked around matching like we used to, when they were actually thought about this today, walking through church, like, going to get them, I was like, you know what? This morning they wanted to wear gym clothes to church. And I was like, we're not wearing gym clothes to church. So I'm going to start telling them we're all going to start matching again. I'm going to put you all in the same outfits on Sundays.
Co-host or Narrator
Olivia walks into my office this morning. She was like, dad, it's cold outside. Can I wear sweatpants to church? I'm like, no.
Adam Busby
She's like, but everybody does it. I'm like, we're not doing it, so don't ask again. But, mom, it's cold outside and they're comfortable. I'm not changing my answer.
Co-host or Narrator
You go to church to be uncomfortable.
Adam Busby
Yeah, but I do. I think I am going to start at least on Sundays. Sundays is the day that I'm like. Like, it's. They want to wear some of them, like jeans, but they don't want to wear them on Sundays. They only want to wear them when they want to, but it's. It's hard. And because they don't want to wear a dress right now, it was cold. It was cold this morning. And so I was like, you can wear a dress, skirt, or jeans, but no sweatpants or Lulu leggings or whatever those are called, you know, type fitness leggings or whatever. And little do we know, one of them walked out of the house with one of them on. So I didn't notice until I got out the car.
Co-host or Narrator
Last week, Danielle told Ava she couldn't. She couldn't wear leggings to church. So she still put her leggings on, but put blue jeans over them. So, like, the second we got in the car after church, she pulled her blue jeans.
Adam Busby
We went to lunch right afterwards, and she had different pants on.
Co-host or Narrator
Did you change in the car? She's like, no, I had them underneath my blue jeans.
Adam Busby
Mama said I couldn't wear them, so she said I had to put jeans on. So she put them on over her leggings. Hey. I said, whatever works. And whatever works, it's fine with me. But it is harder to keep my desire of the coordinated look of the family. Like, even last night, we went to play bingo as a family for the first time at the bingo hall.
Co-host or Narrator
That was actually very interesting. That was.
Adam Busby
Wait.
Co-host or Narrator
And I filmed it.
Adam Busby
Was it fun?
Co-host or Narrator
So we might have a little bit of that. Like on a YouTube video, we'll put a little.
Adam Busby
Was it fun?
Co-host or Narrator
Yeah, I had fun.
Adam Busby
Okay.
Co-host or Narrator
And all the girls have fun.
Adam Busby
Oh, I knew the girls would have fun.
Co-host or Narrator
I've never played bingo outside of elementary school.
Adam Busby
They like. And so grainy things like me go to bingo hall, go to estates.
Co-host or Narrator
So I. I didn't know what to expect. I thought, like, you think of bingo, you just think of, like, a bunch of old people.
Adam Busby
And it was such a mix of people, right?
Co-host or Narrator
Yeah, it was a huge mix of people. But, like, Daniel's like, we can bring the kids. I was like, danielle, that's gambling.
Adam Busby
I said, it says you have to be 7 or older.
Co-host or Narrator
I don't, I don't. I. I still. I kind of want to research this some more because, like, I need to figure out, like, what the loophole is on this where they're allowing 7 year olds to go in and gamble.
Adam Busby
But is it really considered gambling? It's bingo. It's not like you're playing slots or something.
Co-host or Narrator
I mean, you pay.
Adam Busby
You can go to the racetrack and.
Co-host or Narrator
Go and you bet. You. You buy. You go and pay in. You're buying in and you're a sheet. And then you're playing a game and you could win money. What? I mean, that's gambling.
Adam Busby
Well, I don't like thinking the fact that, like, we brought our kids to.
Co-host or Narrator
Go gamble bingo, I mean, that's.
Adam Busby
But that is after. Wait, no. We pulled up in the parking lot and we're like, got to be there at this time. Whatever.
Co-host or Narrator
Packed.
Adam Busby
And I was like, it feels weird right now. I feel like we're, like, taking our kids to the club or something. I don't know why it felt weird.
Co-host or Narrator
Because I felt like. I don't know, I felt like we.
Adam Busby
Were taking them to gamble up until.
Co-host or Narrator
We walked in and I saw there was a bunch of other kids in there with, like, their grandparents.
Adam Busby
Not true.
Co-host or Narrator
It did feel like I was bringing my kids somewhere where they should not be.
Adam Busby
That's what you thought. But I have been because I've never been one time before. And it was just a lot of fun. Like, the girls loved it and they're like, let's go back. The only downside was nobody want anything.
Co-host or Narrator
Yeah.
Adam Busby
So. But it was a lot of fun.
Co-host or Narrator
And I didn't really think that that many people could, like, like, win at the same time. Like, at the very last game that we had, the. The pot was, like, thousand dollars, thousand dollars, but 14 people won. So you. You got $71.
Adam Busby
I would have been happy with the $12 I got back from paying to play for 12.
Co-host or Narrator
It is pretty, like, cheap fine.
Adam Busby
Which, for some reason, I don't think that they charged me, right, because she. Only. It wasn't. It wasn't. She didn't charge us, right. Or something. But she gave me the 8. 8 tickets for each board because it was only $64, and that's not right.
Co-host or Narrator
I don't know.
Adam Busby
So whatever. We had a lot of fun in. Which is funny the terminology we use. I said something last night because Adam's like, this was fun, but no one won. And I was like, but we had a lot. It's about the experience. We had a lot of fun. So today at lunch, I think you went. Got up and went to the bathroom, and we're talking about the. Riley got to pick where we went to eat today, because usually on Sundays, Adam and I picked, and Riley got, like, a free, like. Like, kid voucher, like, thing for a gift or, like, whatever at church, because she got up and memorized and, like, went up to the mic and, like, said the verse out loud, which I was like, yes, girl, go ahead with that. And she says, I would have gone up on the stage and done it, but they didn't. They were just doing it in front of the stage. But she went up and said the verse. So she got things. I was like, you know what? You get to pick. Tell me what the verse is. She said it. And then I was like, well, you get to pick. We're going to lunch today. And she's like, the place with the big tree inside. And I think Rainforest Cafe. And I'm like, we are not going to that. We have not been to that since y' all were probably two and screamed the whole time every time an animal went off. But she means Abes, which is Abes, Like a Louisiana. Like, Lake Charles, Louisiana. Like, Southern Cajun food, which is so good. So in Clear Lake City Boulevard. Yeah, so good. But they have a big tree in there, and I think you're in the bathroom. And they said something about, well, we should go back to the one that has all the animals. And I was like, well, the food's not very. I said, the food's really not good. And Lulu looks at me. She goes, but, mom, it's about the experience. See your kids pick up and they listen to things that you say. And I'll start at laughing. I'm like, that is true, Olivia. We would have fun. We would have fun, but we would have to eat before or after because the food's not that good.
Co-host or Narrator
But it was funny that people, like, whenever we would take our little kids into Rainforest Cafe, I mean, they were like. Like two, two or three.
Adam Busby
Oh, my God, that'd be.
Co-host or Narrator
And so, like, it was like, a big deal for them because it's got the animatronic figures and Adam loves to.
Adam Busby
Scare everybody, rise out.
Co-host or Narrator
But I thought it was always funny because, like, I mean, that's the only reason you would go to Rainforest Cafe was, like, for, like, little kids to see the animals and stuff and feel.
Adam Busby
Like you're in when you'd see somebody on a date.
Co-host or Narrator
Yeah. Whenever you see, like, an older couple that are just like a guy and a girl, like, on a date at Rainforest Cafe, it's cute. Babe, this is not the place you take a date. Hey, guys. So we want to take a little break for our sponsor today, which is Good Ranchers. Did you know that 85% of all the meat that is in the grocery store right now is coming from overseas, not from US ranchers? There is a big issue right now with the country of origin label law that is allowing product to be come in as long as it finishes its last few stages of packaging. They can put a USDA label on it and say it's a prominent product of the US and that is wrong.
Adam Busby
Yeah.
Co-host or Narrator
And so that's what Good Ranchers completely fights against. We support US Farms and ranches, so we love Good Ranchers, not only because they support American farms and ranches, but because they are a company after our own values. Like, we absolutely love the company and what it stands for. It's pro America. The owners, Ben and Corley, are great friends of ours. They are Christian folks that love the Lord and. And you and put their money where their mouth is. They support, you know, Christian organizations and. And stuff like that. And so, you know, we have peace of mind knowing that, you know, shopping at a company like Good Ranchers, it's. It's going for good, and they're using that money and stewarding it well for good. And that's why we absolutely love Good Ranchers. And not to mention, like, the meat is absolutely phenomenal.
Adam Busby
It's like, the more you think about how much of the meat is actually not from the states and it's coming from shipping containers, you have to really think about, like, what are you eating and what are you feeding your family? And you know, your health is such an important part of like what plays into your day to day. And so, you know, ever since we've been involved with Good Ranchers, not because of the podcast, but because we found them before and we're subscribers before we even started working with them. But we believe in the company, but we believe in the product and we know the product tastes good. Yeah, you won't find anything that tastes better, I promise you.
Co-host or Narrator
If you go to goodranchers.com and use the code busbee, you can get 25 off plus a free gift for purchase for the life of your subscription. You can pick between ground beef, chicken breast, bacon or salmon right now. And so it's a great time to buy. And so don't forget just to go to goodranchers.com and enter the code Busby at checkout. We also have the Busby box, which you can find it@goodranchers.com busbee and that will give you our custom curated box that has all of our favorites, all of our weekly staples and two packs of seed oil free chicken nuggets.
Adam Busby
Yes.
Co-host or Narrator
That our kids, we can't keep them at the store.
Adam Busby
Don't even say kids. We love them.
Co-host or Narrator
Yeah, they're great.
Adam Busby
Love the nuggets.
Co-host or Narrator
So thank you good Ranchers for sponsoring this episode, American Meat Delivered.
Adam Busby
Thanks Good Ranchers. So today, you know one of those scrolling sessions I had in the bathtub there and I came across this thing on Instagram and I said, you know what, I'm gonna have fun with Adam on the next podcast because that's what we're gonna do today.
Co-host or Narrator
Funny is this cup just feels like a distraction.
Adam Busby
Yeah, it's like a freaking highlighter in the middle of the table so I.
Co-host or Narrator
Don'T get shot out in the woods.
Adam Busby
Why are things orange?
Co-host or Narrator
Because deer are colorblind. They don't see orange, but the hunters do.
Adam Busby
Gotcha. Makes sense. What about with fishing? Why is it like that when people.
Co-host or Narrator
Go fishing, fish are in the water, fishy color. That's why you use like, like neon color chartreuse lures.
Adam Busby
I guess it's. I guess that's not the what I'm thinking. Fishing. It's more probably like duck hunting and stuff. Do you do that when you go duck hunting? Do ducks see color?
Co-host or Narrator
I know like some bird hunting, like people wear the orange vests and stuff like that. But I'm not sure about duck hunting, everybody. I say that a duck hunt and wear like, do ducks like waterfowl like camo that and, like, paint their face and stuff.
Adam Busby
Let's see.
Co-host or Narrator
So they blend in. So I'm not really sure about that.
Adam Busby
Would be so sad if birds didn't see color.
Co-host or Narrator
Bright orange.
Adam Busby
Because they have such a great life of, like, being able to fly and see everything. Yes. Birds can see color.
Co-host or Narrator
Birds can see color because that's why. Because it's like a.
Adam Busby
They seem more colors than humans.
Co-host or Narrator
It's like a mating thing. Like, that's why the boy. The male birds are so beautiful. It's always like, if you see birds and, you know, you look at.
Adam Busby
Look at this human vision. Bird vision.
Co-host or Narrator
You look at different species of birds. Vision, and it's the. It's the male birds that are, like, the pretty ones.
Adam Busby
Yeah. Anyway, back to my. This is what we're going to talk about today. I'm putting you on the spot. And you have no idea what these questions are, but they're funny.
Co-host or Narrator
Okay.
Adam Busby
And they're all about me.
Co-host or Narrator
They're not.
Adam Busby
It might be. All right, so question number one. This is seven funny questions to ask your husband. So play along, ladies, if you're listening. And ask your husband these questions, too, because they're random, weird questions that you would never think of.
Co-host or Narrator
Like, only women should know.
Adam Busby
No, I might not even know the answers to this. I'm going to think of my answer. Oh, but it says, first one is, if you lost me in the supermarket, where's the first place you'd look? But let's think about what supermarket first.
Co-host or Narrator
My Heb or Target.
Adam Busby
Whoa, that's like two completely different. Yeah, supermarket. I feel like that's not like a Target. It's more like a grocery store. Like Hebb.
Co-host or Narrator
We don't. We. We never really go to. To Target, to, like, grocery shop.
Adam Busby
I might get things while I'm there. Groceries.
Co-host or Narrator
But.
Adam Busby
Okay, so if you lost me in the supermarket, where's the first place you'd look? If. If I. If we were at H E B, where would you look for me?
Co-host or Narrator
Back row or, like, somewhere in the, like, the middle condiment section, you know, like at.
Adam Busby
He means like, what section meaning, like, what would I be looking at? You know, not, like, back corner. Cool. What's in the back corner? Why would I be in the back corner?
Co-host or Narrator
You know what? I don't know. It depends on, like, what we're going there for.
Adam Busby
It doesn't matter. Just says, if you lost me, where.
Co-host or Narrator
Would you kid snack out?
Adam Busby
That's very much true. I think I'd probably be, like, up in the front by the fruit because I'm always hot and it's cold over there. Feels better over there. Over there. Or yeah. With the kids snacks, like all by the snack stuff. Because that's like story of our life. So I'll give you half a credit. All right, number two, what three words would you use to describe my personality?
Co-host or Narrator
Stubborn.
Adam Busby
I'm glad I got my. Oh, thanks. And you jumped for that one real quick. I'm glad I got my card.
Co-host or Narrator
Controlling. And I'm just trying to think if I don't think that this contradicts either of those two words. Selfless.
Adam Busby
Stubborn, controlling and selfless. Okay, why? I mean, I don't not agree, but.
Co-host or Narrator
I mean, you know you're stubborn. You know you're not controlling and, but then like you, you're very as much so like selfless as far as like caring for others, putting like other people in front of you and, and like thinking about others and like spending intentional time with other people.
Adam Busby
So I'm stubborn about my own. Like, what, what makes me stubborn?
Co-host or Narrator
Because you're very strong willed and like opinionated and you don't bend much for what, like things that are going on in the house or whatever.
Adam Busby
Okay, number three, what's one smell that you instantly. That instantly reminds me. No.
Co-host or Narrator
That you don't like.
Adam Busby
What's one smell that instantly, instantly reminds you of me?
Co-host or Narrator
I mean that whatever you spray when you get in the car, because you sprayed freaking six or seven sprays of it gives me a headache on the way to anywhere we go.
Adam Busby
Yeah. By the way, that new trend where it's like, it's no, no thing about like one cologne. You mix them. Been doing that for years. We've been seeing, been seeing that about like perfume and stuff. Like people. It's not about one, it's about the mix.
Co-host or Narrator
No.
Adam Busby
Like, hello, I should have started that.
Co-host or Narrator
No. But it drives me nuts whenever Daniel, like, we're going anywhere and Danielle waits until like, where does it sit?
Adam Busby
In my car. Because I always forget it.
Co-host or Narrator
It's in your car. And so like I'm in the car too. And. And then she like doused, like she takes a shower and whatever she's spraying and like, I don't want to smell like that.
Adam Busby
Babe, if you were to do that in the car, be like, it smells so good, but so I don't smell.
Co-host or Narrator
Good to you because, like, I like, I don't want to smell like that. And so like I feel it landing on me as we're getting out of the car. I'm like, now I just smell like a woman.
Adam Busby
Yeah, you do. You live with seven of them.
Co-host or Narrator
Like, I don't want to smell like that. That's why I put on whatever I'm wearing before we go.
Adam Busby
This is interesting one. What's the first thing you'd say if I called you crying?
Co-host or Narrator
What's wrong? What happened? I don't know. What the heck are you crying about?
Adam Busby
Yeah, you would say that. You would. That is what you would say right there. What the heck are you crying about? That's what you'd say to me.
Co-host or Narrator
I mean, I would. I mean, if you literally just call and I answered the phone and you were crying, I mean, first thing that I would say was, what happened? I mean, duh.
Adam Busby
I don't know if that's ever happened before. So it's like, I don't know if I've ever called you crying. What's something you know about me that almost no one else does? I don't feel like I'm a very secretive. One thing you know about me that almost no one else does?
Co-host or Narrator
I mean, that's hard to say because, like, Republic, like, our life is such an open book. But even, like, with my. So many nuances of, like, life and stuff, of each other, even, like, with my. I mean, it is. It is a very surprise. A big surprise. Like, when we're around people that are. I don't know us very intimately, they always are taken back that Danielle hates the smell of bacon and. And cannot stand bacon.
Adam Busby
Yeah. I don't like the smell. I don't like the taste, and I don't like the smell of coffee. Especially your kind of coffee. Because it's, like, that dark.
Co-host or Narrator
Yeah.
Adam Busby
Chicory. I get. I literally get nauseated when I smell it. Like, literally. Don't douse yourself in that. In the car. If I got arrested, what would be the first guess why?
Co-host or Narrator
We've had this question before. We. We. It's, like, come up on, like, some sort of.
Adam Busby
If. If I got arrested, why would. Like, what would be your first guess why I got arrested? I would. I mean, there's so many different scenarios that you would have to, like, put in the situation to think about. But I feel like there's. If I ever got arrested, it would be because of one thing.
Co-host or Narrator
Probably because of, like, somebody doing or, like, getting too close to the kids and you snapped.
Adam Busby
Yeah. Yeah. It has to do with that. That's exactly what I was thinking. If some cop was trying to arrest me and had something to do with the kids or whatever, I'd lose it.
Co-host or Narrator
Yeah, mama there.
Adam Busby
Yeah. Number seven. If you had to introduce me without using my name, what would you say my wife is? Stubborn, controlling, and selfless.
Co-host or Narrator
Introduce.
Adam Busby
Introduce me without using my name.
Co-host or Narrator
I wouldn't. I wouldn't, like, say, hey, this is. I mean, I would just say, hey, this is my wife.
Adam Busby
My wife.
Co-host or Narrator
I mean, I wouldn't say, hey, this is this controlling, stubborn lady that hangs out with me a lot. Maybe I would, actually.
Adam Busby
He would. So that was number seven. They weren't. Oh, hold up. What happened to it?
Co-host or Narrator
Oh, great. Am I getting copyright strike?
Adam Busby
Anyway, so this was from. Hey, Julia. She had posted this about these questions. Anyways, I thought they were funny. I think you did pretty good. There wasn't anything about, like, wives. It's just this whole. The whole point of this was about marriage, like, having humor and conversation and keeping it light and funny.
Co-host or Narrator
And it would have been. It would have been more funny. Like, I think it's. But those don't really work on me very well because, like, I've seen the ones, like, the Instagram ones where people are, like, girls are asking their boyfriends or husbands and, like, showing them photos of things that are like. Like, typically, only women should know what they are.
Adam Busby
Oh, my gosh. I love that. I saw. I sent it to my girlfriend pretty.
Co-host or Narrator
Much every one of those videos. Like, I know what every single one of those things is because, like, my life is surrounded by women.
Adam Busby
Oh, my gosh. Then the fact that you said that. I'm gonna pull this picture up and see if you know what.
Co-host or Narrator
This is great. The one thing I probably don't know.
Adam Busby
Yeah. Because I sent. I saw one of those videos and I sent it to, like, my girlfriends in our little group chat, and all died laughing because he literally thought he knew what all those things were, and she was like, oh, my God. How did you know? Oh, so good.
Co-host or Narrator
Like the diaphragm and the. That little thing you insert. Yeah, those things.
Adam Busby
The little thing.
Co-host or Narrator
I don't know the exact name of it, but it's like the. I forget the name.
Adam Busby
The birth control thing.
Co-host or Narrator
Yeah, yeah, yeah. It looks like a wishbone.
Adam Busby
Okay.
Co-host or Narrator
Yeah, that's what I was, like, T shaped.
Adam Busby
Yeah. Yeah, I was gonna.
Co-host or Narrator
I know all those things.
Adam Busby
Gosh. What is something I could show you that you wouldn't know what it is? I'm gonna have to think on that. I'm gonna have to think on that.
Co-host or Narrator
I know, because, I mean, that's my life.
Adam Busby
I mean. Yeah, it is your. I mean, I know you did grow up with two sisters.
Co-host or Narrator
Grew up with two sisters. I have seven women in this house. Like, I've pretty much seen it all.
Adam Busby
I think I'm gonna. I think I'm gonna make that for the next podcast. Like, find something that I don't think you know what it is and ask.
Co-host or Narrator
There's a challenge.
Adam Busby
Yeah, it's a. I love a challenge. Okay, so next podcast, I'm gonna try to find some pictures or some things to be like, what is this, Adam?
Co-host or Narrator
Because, like, I remember, like, that same one, like, they're showing, like, all kind of, like. Like, the makeup, like, the blenders and the sponges and, like, all that. Okay, I know what that is.
Adam Busby
So I should just start asking you.
Co-host or Narrator
Like, my own right there in the bag for, like, photo video shoots, like, I bring.
Adam Busby
So I think what you're saying is you're so excelled in that area because you live in a girl, woman life.
Co-host or Narrator
Yeah.
Adam Busby
So what I need to do is be like, okay, this is your daughter's lip gloss. What's this brand?
Co-host or Narrator
Okay, that. That's. I mean, I know it's like lip gloss, but I could care less what the brand is.
Adam Busby
Well, babe, this. This is your life.
Co-host or Narrator
I know that's lip gloss or whatever.
Adam Busby
That's funny. Okay, so I'm gonna try to find something that Adam might not know what it is. And, ladies, if you're listening and you think you know something, don't. Don't you got to go to D. Busby on my Instagram. No way. He can see that too. There's no way that you can let me know.
Co-host or Narrator
I mean, the only time I ever see, like, your messages of if somebody that we know personally or, like, somebody that I'm also, like, friends with online.
Adam Busby
Okay.
Co-host or Narrator
Because I'll see it as, like, you know, because if some. If something. Someone that you also follow sends you a dm, then it, like, gives you a notification. But if, like, you know, because we get thousands of messages from other people that we'll do my best to look.
Adam Busby
Through to see if I can find any.
Co-host or Narrator
And so, like, Instagram doesn't necessarily send you that notification for all those people. It usually only sends you, like, because we have our notification set that, like, we only get notified for people that, like, we follow.
Adam Busby
Yeah. Yeah, we follow. I don't get notifications in general. Yeah, because that's annoying. Is there something.
Co-host or Narrator
Because I usually will accidentally click on, like, a. Like, somebody sending you a message of somebody that I also.
Adam Busby
Or you think you're commenting, and you're commenting at me.
Co-host or Narrator
I've done that a Few times I'm like, oh, crap.
Adam Busby
This was like, no, I would never say that.
Co-host or Narrator
What?
Adam Busby
Is there something that women would not be able to identify that is a male thing?
Co-host or Narrator
Depends on. It depends on, like, because, I mean, like, especially whenever you come into. I mean, yeah, there's tons of stuff as far as like, like tools and different tools, like specialty tools and like hunting stuff and like, I mean, there's all kind of stuff that like, unless you're like a, you know, like a woman that like helps her husband in the garage all the time or like a woman that actually goes and hunts all, all the time. Like, I mean, there's. But you don't necessarily do that. So there's like, probably a lot of things that I could like, pull out and like, I mean, you probably have no clue what that is. Hunting related or like different types of tools. Like, what is that tool for? Like, what would you use that for? Like, you wouldn't.
Adam Busby
The best one of that, that boy thing didn't know was the eyelash curler he thought was the clamps for when you go have a pap smear.
Co-host or Narrator
I was like, yeah, like four sips.
Adam Busby
Those are funny. Those are funny. Anyway, what else you got today when.
Co-host or Narrator
You go to the doctor and you get your stuff looked at?
Adam Busby
Did you see the one that I shared to my friends on Instagram?
Co-host or Narrator
Did you watch?
Adam Busby
So. Oh, yeah, that's. It's funny. Do you have a. Do you have a. Do you have like a friend group chat that's just like, like we always say, like me, Mandy and Priscilla, like, we're like, if someone ever saw our text message thread or our memes back and forth, like, we would be canceled because of just our ridiculous.
Co-host or Narrator
The only group chats I'm in, like, I'm in a group chat with like Ben and Jermaine and then I'm on a group chat with Del and Nick and then everybody else is pretty much individual other than like family group chats. And then like Corly and Ben. That's the only, like, yeah, group chats I'm in on social media. I don't really.
Adam Busby
I just have like, you know, me and Manny and Priscilla have like, humor about a lot of different random things that you wouldn't want anyone to hear about.
Co-host or Narrator
I mean, that's pretty much anyone's dm. So.
Adam Busby
Yeah, I know, I love that. But then I have like one with like my League City Girls girlfriends.
Co-host or Narrator
I'm gonna send my friends something that, like, I can never like, share on my page or something like that.
Adam Busby
Sometimes I wish I could, but I'm like, no one.
Co-host or Narrator
Like, oh, that's funny, but. Or inappropriate or. Or it's like an inside joke or whatever. To friends. Yeah, I think everybody has that. Like, if your DMs accidentally got leaked or whatever, people would be, like, mortified.
Adam Busby
Or have a ball laughing. Dale sent me one today. It said the next time my husband. It was like, next time your husband asked to go on a guy's night, he had to dance to boy bands or sing to boy bands, whatever. And it was his husband, like, doing, like, Backstreet Boy, like, dance or whatever. And I was like, that's funny. I'll have to tell Adam he'll have to do that next time he wants to buy something. It's funny. Wait, you know what we were gonna do with. With our friends here for my birthday? Line dancing.
Co-host or Narrator
Oh, that'd be fun.
Adam Busby
Yeah. But then I changed it to jazz dancing. No, just kidding. Just kidding. But it was on the list to do the line dancing because apparently some new place opened up. But anyway, anyways, what else you gotta chat about today? This is kind of like coffee time, afternoon tea time.
Co-host or Narrator
Back in. Right after or right before the new year, we went to the ranch, which we never really talked about in, like, last week's podcast, and that was, like, the. The week after we got back, but.
Adam Busby
Milk and Honey Ranch.
Co-host or Narrator
Yeah. I mean, so. Because we had all. We had been talking, like, leading up to Christmas and stuff, and, like, what those things that we would rather do than just, like, presents and, you know, we. I mean, obviously you guys saw what, like, our Christmas traditions and stuff and, like, what we do on Christmas. Like, you probably saw the vlog if you keep up with, like, our, like, family, like, vlog stuff. Like, obviously we. Every year we post, like, the. The girls, like, secret sister shopping, and then we'll do, like, the beginning of Christmas morning and let them, like, let them open each other's presents. And that's usually, like, where we end the vlog. And then we just kind of spend the rest of the time, like, with family. But the day after Christmas, we went to the ranch with the girls. And it's. It's this ranch about two hours away from Houston.
Adam Busby
Like an hour outside of Houston. Like, around top area.
Co-host or Narrator
Yeah, I say it's two hours away because it takes us an hour to get to the other side of Houston. And so then it's like, another hour.
Adam Busby
It's really an hour away. It seems like.
Co-host or Narrator
Yeah, it's in, like, an hour outside of Houston. Really. And and we had so much fun because it's like, it's like one of those places that like our kids just absolutely eat up. Like every single one of our kids like love the outdoors, love like kind of exploring and stuff like that, but also love animals. And this place like has it all, you know, they have you know, all these different cabins and stuff that we could go and like you could stay in. Right now it's gonna increase in March because they're building some new stock stuff. But you know this, this little ranch community sleeps right now are roughly about 110 people. And then it's going to be increasing in March because they're opening up some.
Adam Busby
New feeling like this cute little village to add more like places.
Co-host or Narrator
But there's like a lake and like a cafe and coffee shop and pickleball. Yeah. There's like putt. Putt. Yeah.
Adam Busby
Right in front of the floor.
Co-host or Narrator
Oh yeah. There is like a little putty crane fishing. Yeah. And so there's a big fishing lake that's also got like kayaks and paddle boards and you know and there's like a little beach area with sand and stuff so the kids can do like sand castles and stuff. And there's like a beach entrance there which I mean we went in at the tail end of December so.
Adam Busby
But it was unheard of.
Co-host or Narrator
Still got in the water.
Adam Busby
Yeah. Because it was hot outside. Yeah, the water was still chilly but.
Co-host or Narrator
They still got it. It was hot for most of the.
Adam Busby
Time except the very last day until.
Co-host or Narrator
The last day and the temperature dropped 50 degrees in one night. And it wouldn't have been that bad. Like, like thank God we had like so much fun like through the few days that we were there before that last day because I mean the weather like the coldness of the day wasn't that bad because if you were in the, in the sun or whatever, like it wasn't terrible wind. It was the wind. It was like 30 plus mile an hour gust. Like constant.
Adam Busby
Yeah.
Co-host or Narrator
And, and it just that cut right through you and to the point where like the kids just didn't want to go outside anymore. It was like so cold and that stinks because it was that very last day we scheduled. So they have like the mini Highland cows, the little fluffy long haired cows and, and they do like you can, you can pay for like private cow cuddle sessions where like you know it's only you or your party in their. And you can like brush and interact and, and feed and do all these things and take photos and stuff with the cows. By yourself. And we scheduled that for, like, the last day that we were going to be. The last full day that we were going to be there. Well, the night before, it dropped 50 degrees, and the kids just did not.
Adam Busby
Like, it was miserable.
Co-host or Narrator
They didn't have enough. They didn't have enough clothes for the wind. And. And so, like, it was our turn to go do the cow cuddle. And, like, they grabbed, like, all the blankets from the cabin and they were just cuddled up on the golf cart.
Adam Busby
And it was like, okay, come do your photo. And they would run out and like, are we done? Are we done? Are we done?
Co-host or Narrator
For, like, five minutes, like, pet the cow, play with the cow, take a photo. And then they'd run back like, ah, this kind of stinks.
Adam Busby
Like, but they did get to interact and play with them. Like.
Co-host or Narrator
Like, we had, you know, because you have, like, a time limit. We probably spent a quarter of the time limit that we really had because, like, the kids just couldn't stand.
Adam Busby
It was just. It was really cold. Yeah.
Co-host or Narrator
So we're definitely gonna go back to this because it was cool. Like, one night we did, like, s' mores and stuff out by the lake. They have these fire pits and hot tubs near the lake, like, cowboy hot.
Adam Busby
Tubs, which I love.
Co-host or Narrator
Yeah. And then so we. We went and we got dinner. We. We ordered dinner in the cafe and brought it out to the dock and, you know, we ate out there. Kids sat in the hot tub, and we actually got to interact with a few other families that were there. And it was cool to hear their perspective of the place because it was like, the first time that they've been also, and they were just, like, really blown away by, like, you know, the, you know, because you get. I don't know, like, because it's different than. Because they're all from Houston as well, all the people that we met. And so, you know, you. You know, you just. It doesn't feel like, you know, nothing feels anymore. Like how we grew up back in. Whenever we were kids, like. Like, kids could be like, free range.
Adam Busby
Go outside and run around.
Co-host or Narrator
You don't have to worry about, like, your kids. Like, like, you. You need to. In the city. Like, you know, kids need to stay close. They can't, you know, they constantly have to check in or. Or whatever. But here, I mean, the kids could just be free range out on the ranch and just do whatever. You don't have to worry about them because it's, like, closed in and. And they just. Everybody in the group, like, that's what they loved about this place. Like, they could just be, like, carefree.
Adam Busby
There's a lot of like minded families coming there because what they wanted was what we were experiencing there, which they're trying to escape.
Co-host or Narrator
That. That feeling from the city.
Adam Busby
Yeah. And kids were just running around their scooters around the lake or like, or whatever. And like, our kids just constantly, like another kid's playing in the sand and like, they're just being kids. They just join in and not worried about, like, you know, what's her name or what she look like or what she do or what's your, like all these, like, stereotypical things. It's just kids being kids. They played with each other. They went and ran over there, you know, and it's like one's fishing here, one's playing in the sand, one wants to putt, putt. And it's like you feel fine just as mom and dad just sitting back and you can still see from like, across the way or whatnot. And they're just. You just felt like a safe, like, vibe and, like, felt like you were almost in your own backyard, you know?
Co-host or Narrator
And like, one thing that I bought them before and gave it to him for Christmas before we went out there was like, walkie talkies.
Adam Busby
Yes. Which was. And the highlight to them, they loved it.
Co-host or Narrator
And so they could just like, go out and explore and do whatever they wanted. You know, these walkie talkies, like, you know, they had, like, range of like, miles and miles. And so like, anywhere that they would be on this ranch, they could all hear each other.
Adam Busby
We're gonna go over there. Can we. Okay, here's your walkie talkie. In the second they walk out the door, Click. Mom, can you hear me? Yes, I can hear you. Okay, we're walking.
Co-host or Narrator
I could hear you without the walkie talkie.
Adam Busby
You're still in the proximity of your.
Co-host or Narrator
Own voice to the point. It would be kind of annoying sometimes because, like, we would all, like, they were having fun, leave as a family and, like, walk. We're walking somewhere and we're like, literally standing in a tight group and they're talking to each other and walkie talkie as well. Like, girls, you don't need the walkie talkie right now. I can hear you.
Adam Busby
But it was fun. So Adam, I got him, like those headlight lamp things in the. And walkie talkies, which those walkie talkies have not been touched or played with since we've been home. But it's like they love that kind of stuff. And so we really just had like a. Some just, I don't know, like, just a peaceful, just like time of just like, I don't know, just play. Just like the goal was to just go out, just to be outside and just play and just find something to do.
Co-host or Narrator
Like, we went on a. Like a family hike one morning and like, you know, and that's what was. That's why I want to live out in the country. Just because, like, in the mornings, you know, I would wake up and, you know, put the dogs on the leaves and just go for a walk with the dogs. And like, the dogs would go and want to like, sniff around, like the. Around, like the fences and stuff where the animals were, and they would. They like to like, look at the animals. And then usually the kids would kind of meet me out there and we just kind of walk around for an hour or so and then come back and start making breakfast or whatever. You know, it's just life slows down out in the country and, you know, you don't have like, all the stresses and worries and stuff that you have in the city and. Or that you do at home.
Adam Busby
And so I think what he's leading into, I don't know, maybe my thoughts are leading into this, is that we took a lot away from that trip and like, kind of like reflecting on it's a new year. What are we looking at? What are we looking into?
Co-host or Narrator
And there's.
Adam Busby
There. We had a lot of big decisions and a lot of change last year, but therefore, two, we still have to make a lot of decisions going forward this year. And so one of them being like, you know, we have guests that are here.
Co-host or Narrator
Dogs are going nuts.
Adam Busby
So just what is it that we want to do as a family and what are our goals this year as a family, and what do we want to experience and teach and. And improve on? And so I guess we can roll into that for like, next podcast, whatever, because this podcast has been a little long. But, you know, it just helped us kind of pre reflect on, like, what do we want to do and what is God like kind of placing in our hearts for this year? And so it was all in good timing. And I think we love that. And our kids love the fact that like, you know, Christmas and gifts and all that stuff, it's. Yes, it's still fun. We have our own traditions and all the things that we will remain to do, but what they really do love is, like, going and experiencing something and so that speaks our love language of, like, we want to continue to do this as A family.
Co-host or Narrator
Yeah. Yeah, we can definitely get into that next podcast and our next podcast, because we also had. And I guess maybe we should, like, allude into the next podcast, like, stay tuned, like, because we did have a family meeting, like, a week or so ago that is kind of trying to get our thoughts around, like, what's to come. What's to come. And, like, you know, what we want to do over the summer, what we want to do after the summer and stuff like that. And as a family and because we do want to have, like, our kids, like, input and buy into certain things. Like, we don't just want to make unilateral decisions for our kids.
Adam Busby
Yeah. And it doesn't mean that.
Co-host or Narrator
And we don't want to do anything that, like. Okay, you know, like, maybe we're, like, forcing our kids into this, something that they're absolutely gonna hate. So, like, we want to just have a family meeting and, like. Okay, like, what do you think about this? And.
Adam Busby
Yeah, so I guess we can share some of that next podcast.
Co-host or Narrator
Yeah.
Adam Busby
So stay tuned, guys.
Co-host or Narrator
All right. So, yeah, I mean, this was, like, a little bit of fun one for sure. But, yeah, next podcast, we'll kind of get into that kind of stuff a little bit more and just talk about, like, you know, what. What are our aspirations for the year and stuff like that. So, yeah. So thank you guys for tuning in to episode 66, more than reality podcast. We'll see you in the next one.
Adam Busby
Peace out, guys.
Co-host or Narrator
All right, we love you guys. It.
