• Morgan shares her wish to win the lottery on her first try, just to reverse the luck of regulars.
• Eddie details his measured approach to sports gambling:
  • Monthly gambling budget negotiated with his wife—from $40 up to $50 (09:51-10:03).
  • Preference for “low risk, high reward” bets like parlays—betting a little to win a lot, but never hitting the grand prize.

  • The excitement of potentially huge wins and the agony of “one game” misses.
  • Story: Offered $500 cash out on an $800 win, wife encouraged him not to cash out—and he lost.

• Discussion about division of chores, kids learning responsibility through chores, the trials of teaching kids well, and parental frustration.

---

5. Parenting, Skills, & Teaching Life Lessons (26:25-38:06)

• Eddie describes teaching his sons life skills—mowing the yard, washing dishes, shuffling cards, and learning poker.

  “We have all these boys and… they suck at it. But I'm like, ‘Let’s take the time to teach them to do it better.’” (27:53)

---

6. Cooking, Food Routines, & Lifestyle Changes (30:01-36:11)

• Morgan shares how the pandemic prompted her to improve her cooking, and how dietary changes for health have caused her to socialize less and cook constantly.

  “It’s just a lifestyle… there will be times where I’m out socializing and I’m like, ‘I have to go home and cook dinner.’” (33:34)

---

8. Homeschooling, Routines, and Adapting for Kids’ Success (37:12-47:34)

• Eddie explains why his son switched to homeschooling—due to school distractions and challenges fitting in:

  “His academic part was suffering because he was trying to figure out where he’d fit in… I get that. That’s how I was.” (37:51)

• Online homeschool through a university has helped academically (“all A’s and B’s… dominates school now” [39:17]).
• Socialization is tougher; Eddie gently encourages his son to maintain friendships but also notes lifelong friends often come in college, not high school.

---

9. Parenting Across Life Stages & Family Dynamics (47:54-54:30)

• Eddie shares how each child adapts to changing school and social pressures, and the universal difficulty of guiding kids through stressful, transformative stages:

  “I just want them to realize it’s okay. Like, don’t worry too much about this stuff… but we all go through it.” (49:19)

• His mom’s recent visit—how she loves the chaos and busyness, and a sweet family outing to the Opry.
• Morgan recalls being stood up at Olive Garden, but her boyfriend replaced it with a new, happy memory (“New one replaced. Good, good. Forget that crap.” – Eddie, 53:18).

If a baby is giggling in the backseat, they're probably happy. If a baby is crying in the backseat, they're probably hungry. But if a baby is sleeping in the backseat, will you remember they're even there? When you're distracted, stressed or not, usually the one who drives them, the chances of forgetting them in the back seat are much higher. It can happen to anyone. Parked cars get hot fast and can be deadly. So get in the habit of checking the back seat when you leave a message from N.N.H.T.S.A. and the Ad Council.

Morgan Part one, behind the scenes with.

[Eddie]

A member of the show.

[Morgan]

What's up, friends? It's time for Best Bits, and Eddie is joining me. What's up, Eddie?

[Eddie]

What's up, Morgan?

[Morgan]

Thanks for coming on.

[Eddie]

Yeah, thanks for having me.

[Morgan]

Especially since there was drama last time we were on.

[Eddie]

There was no drama. No drama. You got mad at me, though.

[Morgan]

I got mad at all of you.

[Eddie]

I know, but I didn't do anything. I was just laughing. I was just laughing because it's funny.

[Morgan]

Yeah, you. You helped the environment. You helped create the environment that we were in.

[Eddie]

If something is funny, I laugh. But there was no drama. There was no drama whatsoever. And we're not even talking about that again.

[Morgan]

Okay, well, how's life? What's going on with you lately, man?

[Eddie]

Life is good. I will tell you what, though. Last weekend, when the lottery was the billion, Whatever. I thought I was gonna win it. And, like, Teddy. So this week's kind of been, like, a little bit. It happens to me every time, Morgan. Every time. There's a lot. A big, big jackpot.

[Morgan]

You seriously thought you'd win it? Especially after they shared the study of, like, you're more likely to be a president than.

[Eddie]

You don't think I can be president?

[Morgan]

I'm not saying you can't. It's just anybody that the likelihood of. There's been how many presidents in our lifetime?

[Eddie]

56.

[Morgan]

Something like that. Right. We're not even at 60.

[Eddie]

I understand, but, like, I feel like I can do anything. Like when people say, like, oh, you know what the odds are getting struck by lightning, like, it'll probably be me.

[Morgan]

You know what? I do feel that same way, too.

[Eddie]

Right. You know, pretty bad luck. If someone says, like, you can't be president, I'd be like, I bet you I could, like, if I really tried. And so when the lottery comes up and it's like, big billions of dollars, I'm just like, we're gonna play this, and it's gonna be awesome if we win. Like, oh, my gosh. And then we do this over and over. Here come the numbers. We don't win it. And then it's back to life. And Monday morning you're, like, going back to work, which I love my job, but, God, I can't wait to, like, just do nothing.

[Morgan]

And I'm assuming you would be the same as Lunchbox if you won the lottery. You'd be like, okay, guys, gotta put my. You wouldn't. Peace out completely. But you'd be like, my two weeks are in. I'm out.

[Eddie]

I don't know because like my wife was telling me. Cause we were talking about it. We went together to go buy.

[Morgan]

Oh, it was a little date.

[Eddie]

And yes. And she had numbers picked out. Like we did one, she had her numbers that she liked. We did our kids birthdays. And then we were behind this like work truck where like their phone number was in the back. It was like some like carpenter or whatever. And she was like, oh my gosh, those numbers right there, write them down. And so we broke those numbers down into six number or five numbers. And so we had like the numbers that we filled out and then we did like, I don't know, $5 quick pick. But she, we started talking about like, well, what do, what do we do? Like if we do win it, like do we tell the kids? And she was very firm on, no, we will not tell the kids. We won't tell anyone. We want it. We really can't change our life. And I was like, what? Like, what's the point of winning the lottery if I'm not gonna buy my boat? Like if I'm not going to, you're.

[Morgan]

Quit your job and retire early.

[Eddie]

That's the whole point. And she's like, we can't. Like, can you imagine they'd be so bratty if they knew we were billionaires and, and we just changed our lives. She's like, I think the most we can do is probably just buy a new house with some land. But we'd have, they'd have to stay in their same school. They would have to live our life the way we normally do. And then once they are out, we'll set a little fund up where they get so much money when they turn a certain age. And then we tell them, did that.

[Morgan]

Crush all of your hopes and dreams right there?

[Eddie]

I was like, there's got to be in this little plan of yours, there's got to be a way I can get to the beach in, in like two hours and go fishing on my boat without them knowing.

[Morgan]

You have a secret private jet that nobody knows about, right? Dad just went to the beach for the day.

[Eddie]

Yeah. Like, why does dad come home with fish every time he goes to work? You know something. Because like, how am I going to win the lottery and not change my life?

[Morgan]

Yeah, but it's also hard. I mean, if the guy who did call into our show, Chili, was actually real, who knows Chili?

[Eddie]

Who knows?

[Morgan]

Nobody knows.

[Eddie]

Did you believe him though?

[Morgan]

I think it would be really hard to not do something when you win that kind of money now Granted, Chili didn't sound like a guy who played the lottery, so this wasn't something that he ever really planned for. And so I could see there's a situation where somebody wins and it was unexpected and they're like, oh, well, I'm just gonna sock away the money. I would be similar, but I would still do something, right? What do you mean?

[Eddie]

Like work?

[Morgan]

No, I just.

[Eddie]

What do you mean? What would you do something?

[Morgan]

Like, I would do something with that money. Like I won. Like I would want to do something.

[Eddie]

Treat yourself.

[Morgan]

Whether it's like you get a new car, if you needed a new car, you wanted to do. Like me, I've always wanted to have a farm. I'd buy the farm that I've always wanted. I would want to do something correct. Doesn't have to be extravagant, but I'd want to do something. And the fact that he did nothing is what makes it unreal to me.

[Eddie]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Morgan]

And that goes to this with you. But if it is true, he was responsible and right. Much of which your wife would be also being.

[Eddie]

What's funny though is like, you guys would know 100%. Like, cuz even if you don't tell anyone, the news comes out that there's a winner in Tennessee. And then all of a sudden I'm not at work because I really would. Like, I would just not show up. So you like Lunchbox, at least for like a couple days or I just.

[Morgan]

What would you tell everybody? Like, I'm out sick.

[Eddie]

Yeah, but I feel like you got like. Don't you see Bobby just being like, hold on. Eddie never calls in sick. Like, hold on.

[Morgan]

Like, what's happening here?

[Eddie]

Could. Could Eddie have won the lottery? You know? You know, like, I feel like everyone in this room would know if it was Amy, if it was Lunchbox, if it was you. If it was Bobby, we would. Well, maybe not Bobby, because for sure, I don't think his. I don't think he would do anything different.

[Morgan]

No, I think he would because he's.

[Eddie]

Already coming to work voluntarily, like wanting to do this, you know, but like everyone else, I think we would know.

[Morgan]

He'd have an inkling.

[Eddie]

Hold on, Morgan.

[Morgan]

Something was wrong.

[Eddie]

Morgan's not here. The day after the lottery was picked, and it was picked here in Nashville.

[Morgan]

Like, uh, you know, I have always wanted to play just for the fact of you guys always talk about it. And my dad's played the lottery pretty much his whole life. And he's played our birthdays and he's done all the things he's done so many different numbers and he's never had a huge win or anything like that. But I think about all of you guys who always play all the time, and I'm like, dang, you know, I just want to go buy the lottery one time and then like, have a big win so I can just come back and be like, guys, I played one time. I think I've played the lottery twice.

[Eddie]

That's so mean spirited of you.

[Morgan]

But it's more fun. Not really you. It's really more. Lunch.

[Eddie]

Lost. Same. But I don't, I don't play. He plays like every. Every week. That's what I'm saying.

[Morgan]

And there's so many people like that.

[Eddie]

I know, I know.

[Morgan]

And like you. But okay, think of your lotteries and your gambling. All of them combined. Have you ever won anything big?

[Eddie]

So, like, let me do the sports gambling and I'll break it down for you. I get $50 a week for sports gambling. A month? Not a week, a month. $50. $50 a month. So it's kind of fun. It's a project for me.

[Morgan]

Wait, was that also allocated to you from your wife?

[Eddie]

Yes. It started as 40. The finances, it started as 40 like two years ago. And then I was like, come on, like, let me have 10 more dollars. 50. 40 is a weird number, you know? So like, I talked her up to $50 a month.

[Morgan]

You negotiated.

[Eddie]

I did, I did. So I'm at $50 a month now. And sometimes like, I will win, you know, two. I will take my $50 balance to 200 into like three months. So I never have to recharge and put $50 more into it every month. So I've got like two months credit. So it lets me go a little harder on the bets. But for the most part, I do very low risk, high reward bets. Meaning I bet $1, $1 little dollar for like 10 teams to win. And if those 10 teams win, I win like $10,000.

[Morgan]

But how often do I never.

[Eddie]

I've never hit the 10,000. But I've gotten close. I've gotten close to hitting, I think $8,000. I missed it by one.

[Morgan]

Okay, so I think I know what you're talking about because there is a bet on drafting. I just learned.

[Eddie]

Go ahead.

[Morgan]

I'm very new to all of it. My boyfriend places a bet. It's a $20 bet that you can make it back. It's like a risk free bet.

[Eddie]

Oh, yeah, yeah.

[Morgan]

Get the money back. You decide what all you're betting on.

[Eddie]

They call it That a sweat free bet or no sweat bet.

[Morgan]

Yeah. So he had like eight different things in there, and he hit seven out of eight. He was like, if he hit it, it would have been like $3,000 that he rents. And the last one was like, on the last game is about to happen. And it could have, like the one thing that hadn't hit yet could have happened. Yes, it didn't. And so I'm sitting there like, but really like, you, but you spend. He's like, well, it's no sweat. So I get the $20 back. I was like, that's gambling. That I feel like people would enjoy. But that's how it makes it addictive.

[Eddie]

I mean, addictive is like, I could be like, when I'm out of my $50, I'm never like, gosh, I wish I had $50. So, like, I don't do that.

[Morgan]

Okay.

[Eddie]

Once the 50's over, it's over. But it's so much more fun to watch a game that's not. It's not your team, it's not the Cowboys, it's Washington versus Arizona. Would never care about that game. But the fact that I have, like, I could win $600 off that one game makes it really exciting.

[Morgan]

Does it make it more exciting than already being a sports fan or like.

[Eddie]

Different excitement, different exciting? Because it's not just watching a fun game, watching a cool play go down or a comeback. It's like, I can win money off this. It's a whole different other. It's a different ball game. But let me tell you about one time when I is. So those are called parlays, what your boyfriend does. You pick six games, you have to win. All of you have to hit all of those six games. So say like, it's Cowboys and Giants. You pick the Cowboys. Cowboys have to win that game. Next one, if it's Arizona and Cincinnati, and you pick Cincinnati, Cincinnati has to win that game. If you hit all six of those, you get paid. If you miss one of those, bet's over. You lose whatever you put in. So I put $1 right for like, I think it was eight. Eight games. $1. Picked eight teams, and it was the last team I'd hit them all. And so what they do is they give you a cash out option. Kind of like you ever see Deal or no Deal?

[Morgan]

Yeah. So it's like you cash out right now and get some money.

[Eddie]

But if you win the six games, you get, and I think mine was like 800 bucks, and I bet $1, $1 to win $800 is awesome.

[Morgan]

And I'm sure there's a timing threshold because they obviously, if you're too much into that last game, it's like, okay, well, you can't pull out now, right?

[Eddie]

Or. Or if it looks in the last game and they're getting beat by, like, 20 points, you can't. They don't give you that good of a. Of a bet of a cash out. But if you're down to that last game, Sometimes if it's $800, the cash out will be 200. You can cash out right now for $200, or you can keep playing and not get anything or win the 800.

[Morgan]

That's what they call gambling.

[Eddie]

Yes. So then I tell my wife, I'm like, oh, my gosh, what do I do? Like, they're offering me $200. I remember this vividly. They were college games, and I think it was the Longhorns was the last team. Texas Longhorns. And I told my wife, I'm like, I could win $800 or I can cash out right now and win like, 250. And she was like, and how much did you bet? I was like, a dollar. She's like, why would you cash out? It's a dollar. Like, it's just $1.

[Morgan]

It is true. Leave it.

[Eddie]

So then the Longhorns took the lead, and the cash out ended up being like 500, almost $600. And my wife's like, it's just. You're going to win. Just. Just leave it in there. Like, just win the 800. And they ended up losing the game. No. And I was so pissed. Like, oh, this could have been my biggest hit ever, you know, like $600. And I never want it, but the most I think I've ever gotten is like, 200, 300 on a dollar, though. Pretty awesome.

[Morgan]

Yeah. Because you're doing very low risk. Would you ever do, like, all 50 on one thing if you're so confident about it?

[Eddie]

I've done that, and I've lost. And it's the worst feeling ever. Like, because I'm already kind of tight with money because I have four kids, and whenever I lose $50 on one game, I'm like, what the. Like, why did I do that? Like, that could have been pizza night. Yeah.

[Morgan]

That $50 could have gone to a whole lot.

[Eddie]

You know what I mean?

[Morgan]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

The fact that, like, off a dumb game, you just lost $50, like, it hurts my feelings a little bit. And I feel like a loser, dad. But when I lose, when I lose $5 a night because I did five parlays. I don't feel that bad.

[Morgan]

No, that's fair. And also, I think that's a good conscience to have on you, because that's how you don't get into a gambling situation where you have to gamble all the time. You come back to reality and say, okay, we're not gonna do that anymore.

[Eddie]

Did you play the lottery this time around?

[Morgan]

No, I didn't. I'm just not a big fan.

[Eddie]

Why not, though? Like, why not?

[Morgan]

It's because I Don't you wanna talk about being tight with money? I do not like wasting my money.

[Eddie]

It's $2. No, for a lot of buy one ticket, $2.

[Morgan]

Okay, so I, I, we.

[Eddie]

I spent $10 on mine.

[Morgan]

Okay. I thought it was like 10 or 20. And that's why I was like, I don't really care. I also just don't.

[Eddie]

$2. A number.

[Morgan]

Okay, well, a number.

[Eddie]

Like, like one. One. One. Like one strip of numbers. Yeah, one strip of numbers. One play.

[Morgan]

Well, maybe next time I will, but I've. I've always been that person. I do not. I don't like paying people to do things that I can do. I don't like.

[Eddie]

Oh, Morgan.

[Morgan]

Like, for mowing or for you.

[Eddie]

You mow your own yard?

[Morgan]

Yes. Well, now my boyfriend helps me take care of that.

[Eddie]

Does he do it shirtless sometimes?

[Morgan]

Well, I mean, it's really hot out.

[Eddie]

Yeah, of course he does.

[Morgan]

Yeah, it's nice.

[Eddie]

He weed eats, too.

[Morgan]

Does he. Does he work on the back porch? And he comes over and mows. I'm like, this is nice.

[Eddie]

I wonder if he likes doing that.

[Morgan]

He loves to mow.

[Eddie]

No, stop. Like, I wonder if he. Or if he's just.

[Morgan]

He mows my neighbor's yard, too, because he wants.

[Eddie]

Are you talking about the strip that you all share or like.

[Morgan]

Yes. He also mows her backyard, too.

[Eddie]

Wow. Is it a single lady or something?

[Morgan]

Yeah, but he, like, no, no, no, not like that.

[Eddie]

I meant like a lady that just doesn't probably pay someone to do it.

[Morgan]

Yeah, but her friend would help her sometimes, and, like, she'll go out and do it, but she just doesn't. He loves it. Like, he loves yard work.

[Eddie]

Interesting.

[Morgan]

He was so excited to, like, have a yard to do something with. I was like, have at it.

[Eddie]

Oh, because he lives in an apartment.

[Morgan]

Yeah. So he was like, yeah, I'll come over and take care of this. Just tell me when.

[Eddie]

What are your thoughts on that strip? Like, because.

[Morgan]

Shared space.

[Eddie]

Yeah, because I didn't When I grew up, growing up, like, we didn't have. I lived in a lot of, like, our house is, like, in a big lot, and so we never shared yards. I didn't live in a real neighborhood. It was kind of like, out in the outside of town.

[Morgan]

Yeah, you had land.

[Eddie]

But so the first time I got. I moved into a neighborhood, and there's that strip that you share with your neighbor, and they would cut their grass and, like, literally make this imaginary line and just cut half of the strip and leave the other half for me. And I was always like, why don't you just do the whole strip? Like, it's. It's just two more passes. Well, but people are so particular about that.

[Morgan]

I was gonna say this depends on the other person for a lot of ways. Because, one, people don't like you touching their yard. Like, some people are very particular. So, like, my neighbor, when she mows, she'll never touch mine. She's like, I know Morgan likes her grass a certain way. So, like, I'm not gonna. I'm not a good mower. So, like, I'm not gonna butcher her yard.

[Eddie]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Morgan]

So. But, like, vice versa. Sometimes if I knew stuff was going on with her, I'd mow our shared strip together, and then she'd take care of the rest. And like, my dad, whenever he'd visit in town, he'd mow all of it. And he's like, well, why don't you just take care of it? I was like, this is a lot of work for me. Like, I have little arms and little legs. You are a dad, okay? I am like a baby T. Rex trying to use this, like, weed eater. And, like, my arms feel like jello after an hour and very different experiences. He's like, okay, I get that. So, like, for me, most of the time, I wouldn't. Just because I knew she would take care of it unless she, like, needed me to. But I always knew most people wouldn't because, like, people are particular about their yards.

[Eddie]

I get that.

[Morgan]

And so, like, unless you have an agreed upon arrangement or, like, you know your neighbor super well, I don't think you cross that boundary. I think people really are, like, stingy about their yards.

[Eddie]

I always thought it was just, like, why just. Just do the whole thing. But I get that, like, is your yard like, what's so particular about your yard?

[Morgan]

Like, I used to be, because I'd be really good about laying seed and I'd have good grass and stuff. Now I've. I've Honestly given up trying to maintain it because it's so much work, especially Tennessee.

[Eddie]

It is hard.

[Morgan]

But I used to have, like this really nice, lush yard. And so she would always see me and I'd have like my. I'm just very particular person in general. Like, I have very, like, I'm very OCD in ways and, like, so certain maneuvers and aesthetics look better to me. And so I would just do it that way. And she was like, I don't even know what I'm doing, so I'm not gonna do yours.

[Eddie]

You ever see those yards that have, like, checkered? Like they look like baseball fields.

[Morgan]

Yes.

[Eddie]

Or like fairways and golf courses?

[Morgan]

Yes.

[Eddie]

How do they do that?

[Morgan]

That's my brother in law and my dad.

[Eddie]

They do that.

[Morgan]

Not kidding. Like, when my sister first got married, they would send their grass pictures back to each other in the group chat.

[Eddie]

That's hilarious.

[Morgan]

And then I'd send mine because mine's not big enough to have any of that. I just have, like, straight lines. I'm like, well, mine looks pretty too. Yeah, but yeah, people can do that. You don't do, like, the line, well, your kids do it.

[Eddie]

I don't know how to. Well, now my kids do it, but before I made my kids do it.

[Morgan]

I had this, like, overwhelming sensation that I had to call her right then and I just hit call, said, you know, hey, I'm Jacob Schick. I'm the CEO of One Tribe foundation. And I just wanted to call and let her know there's a lot of people battling some of the very same things you're battling. And there is help out there. The good stuff.

[Morgan]

It's a personal mission. Don't have to go to any more funerals.

Okay, please continue.

[Eddie]

So before my kids were doing. They were cutting the grass. I was doing it, and then I was doing betterhelp with this. With the therapist.

[Morgan]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

And I remember me talking about how I get stressed out about money and my wife clicking Amazon and, like, all that. And he started talking to me about money. He's like, well, what's money to you? Like, what do you buy for yourself? And I'm like, nothing. Like, I don't do anything. I play golf. But, like, I probably play golf, like, once or twice a month, and I walk, you know, and that's not a money thing, but I just like to go walk the golf course. So usually a round of golf for me is like $25, $30 versus, like, could be a hundred.

[Morgan]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

So I'm like, really? I don't spend that much on me, but it bothers me when other members of my family spend so much on them, and I don't spend much on me. And he was like, look, man, you have to invest in yourself. Like, what is something that you just are tired of doing? I'm like, cutting the grass. Like, invest in yourself. Take the $30 and hire someone to cut your grass. That way you can not do it. And it makes you feel better about. Like, I feel accomplished or whatever, or I don't have to do that anymore. And so I did it. And I'm like, he's right. Like, I feel great that I don't have to cut my grass anymore. And so I love that, like, I love that feeling now, obviously, like, we. I don't have anyone that comes and cuts my grass because now I have four boys that are older and they all cut the grass.

[Morgan]

Yeah, it's one of the chores.

[Eddie]

They don't do it great. Which is, like, kind of makes me a little upset. Like, guys, come on, like, take a little pride in like, making our yard look good. But we're working on it.

[Morgan]

Was that an interesting dilemma though? Because before that, probably the oldest is the only one that would have any recollection of, like, you hiring somebody to do it. Do you feel like there's that disconnect between them not taking pride in it because they never really saw you do it?

[Eddie]

I mean, they saw me do it.

[Morgan]

Okay.

[Eddie]

They saw me. I think it was only like a two year, two year time period where somebody, a company came and did it.

[Morgan]

Which also I approve of you doing that. I think you should do whatever's gonna make your life easier.

[Eddie]

Well, that's why I told the best case and I told my wife too. I'm like, hire someone to clean the house once every two weeks or something, you know, so we don't have to do it all the time or you don't have to do it all the time. And it makes you feel better. And it really does, like, it really does make you feel like, wow, like, I didn't have to clean the house this week. Like, that's awesome. And so, but. And then we talk about the boys. It's like we have. My big thing about the boys is like, we have all these boys that are able and strong and can do stuff like cut the grass, wash the dishes, sweep the floors, everything. But my wife's just like, yeah, but they suck at it. And it's like, we have to end up doing it anyway. Cause they're so bad at it. And I'm like, no, let's take the time in trying to teach them to do it better. But it's so hard because, like, as a parent, and I know there's probably parents listening, being like, it's just easier for us to do it.

[Morgan]

I think that's how most people feel with a lot of things. Sometimes, like teaching somebody a new skill. You're like, I would just rather take care of this myself. Yes, there is that in most things in life.

[Eddie]

Like, I'll grab a spoon and be like, this is gross. Like, like, this is. This wasn't even washed, you know? And like, here we go. I gotta watch it myself. Now.

[Morgan]

And it creates more work for you later.

[Eddie]

It does. But again, we're teaching them to be responsible boys and able to do that. What's funny, too, is, like, we've been playing. I've been teaching them poker.

[Morgan]

Okay.

[Eddie]

Just kind of not. Not like, I feel like they should know poker. One of them came, like, one of them had a sleepover or whatever, and they were. Or like, they were hanging out with their friends, and, like, yeah, they had a poker night. It was really cool. We played poker. And I was like, oh, we can play poker here. And they're like, will you teach us? I'm like, yeah. So I taught them how to play poker, but none of them knew how to sh. Shuffle.

[Morgan]

Oh, shuffling is a. Is a big learned skill as a kid.

[Eddie]

Yep. And that's what my wife said. Like, we need to teach these boys how to shuffle. They can't be, like, growing up and, like, get invited to poker night. And, like, all right, it's your turn to shuffle. And they're like, we never learned how to shuffle.

[Morgan]

I wonder what other things are like that. That are learned skills that, like, we automatically just kind of picked up because it was the thing.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Morgan]

Like, shuffling is something I never realized that other people didn't know.

[Eddie]

Right.

[Morgan]

Whenever I do it and somebody's like, oh, I never learned how to shuffle. I'm always like, what? I can do the bridge. I got the whole thing out. Let me wondering what else there is.

[Eddie]

Let me think. Shuffling was the. Was the one that for sure came up recently where, like, we have to teach our kids how to shuffle.

[Morgan]

Yeah. And maybe it is stuff like mowing the yard. Because I never mowed the yard as a kid.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Morgan]

My dad always mowed.

[Eddie]

What about cooking? Cooking's a good one.

[Morgan]

Oh, yeah. Because, like, is a good one.

[Eddie]

I mean, so many friends of mine in college didn't know how to cook. I did, because I've always loved cooking. Watching my mom cook, learning from my dad how to grill. But people don't grow up knowing how to cook. So they're like ramen, and then it goes in a microwave. That's what we're having for dinner. And so that's one where I'm teaching my boys, like, hey, stay in the kitchen. Learn how to cook this, because I want you to learn. And my wife always says, your wives are gonna love, love if you know how to cook. They're gonna love it.

[Morgan]

Well, they're also just gonna be able to fend for themselves for a significant amount of their life. Like, yeah, I Was that way I knew how to bake. I was really good at baking because we would always do cookies and all kinds of like desserts all the time. But cooking I didn't. I was also a vegetarian, so, like, I would make Mac and cheese that I knew how to make. That.

[Eddie]

That's easy.

[Morgan]

Yeah. Like, or the water cheese or a cheese quesadilla. It wasn't really hard for me. I didn't really learn to cook until really during COVID really. I picked up on how to make recipes. I started getting recipes from home.

[Eddie]

Do you see stuff? Oh, you asked your mom for stuff. Yeah, recipes. Did you ever see stuff online?

[Morgan]

Oh, yeah. I mean, I did like a little. When I was doing Food World a long time ago, I was doing like a series where all the restaurants were putting out like their best dishes.

[Eddie]

That's cool.

[Morgan]

Like, the recipes to them. And so I would make them at home to be like, okay, does it actually taste like the restaurant kind of thing?

[Eddie]

That's so hard. Right. Like, because you, you do exactly what they say and then you're. This tastes nothing like the restaurants.

[Morgan]

Oh, my gosh. So much so. And like now I feel like I'm actually really, really good at cooking.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Morgan]

But it's only because of COVID I don't know that I would have ever had that without it. I can, I can follow instructions super well, but there's an art to cooking and understanding. Like, you kind of have to go off script a little bit.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Morgan]

And so I've learned a lot of that.

[Eddie]

Yeah. And everyone's taste buds are different too. Like a recipe. Like, I know, like my, my mother in law, somebody, somebody in my family, I don't remember who, but like, they were, they were doing a dinner for like the whole family and they were reading the recipe and they're like, oh my gosh, it calls for oregano. Like, we don't have oregano. I'm like, relax. Like, you don't need oregano. Like, it's not going to make or break the dish. Or like, oh my gosh, we ran out of sugar. And like, well, use whatever you have and then it'll be fine. Like, no one's going to know. It's like, hold on, we're missing oregano in this dish. You know, like, but some people that don't know how to cook or have never cooked really stress out over recipes.

[Morgan]

Very much so. And because you, you start to learn also what can substitute. You can learn what you can switch out for things. Maybe there's a dish that you love, but there's a certain ingredient you don't like.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Morgan]

There's just, like, so much you learn.

[Eddie]

It's cool and it is.

[Morgan]

I love cooking. I do, too, but I don't. I love cooking when I get to do it for fun and for, like, other people or if, like, I'm sharing a meal with somebody. But, like, cooking for me every day, which I'm having to do for, like, my whole detoxing, honestly, kind of miserable, mostly just because I'm having to cook a whole lot.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Morgan]

And the dishwasher gets run, like, once a day. It used to get run, like, maybe once a week.

[Eddie]

Really?

[Morgan]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

Ours is twice a day.

[Morgan]

Really?

[Eddie]

We have to run it twice a day, and then we do it overnight. And then somewhere in the middle of the day.

[Morgan]

Oh, my gosh, that stresses me out. My one a day is stressing me out.

[Eddie]

Well, what are you making? That's like, stressing you out? Like, what you're meal prepping?

[Morgan]

Well, so I eat so much more food now. Before, I was such a snacker, and I've learned that that's really bad.

[Eddie]

So now you're focused on meals.

[Morgan]

Yeah. And so, like, I have to eat scrambled eggs and fruit every morning. I have to do smoothies for lunch.

[Eddie]

You make the scrambled eggs before you come into work?

[Morgan]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

That's tough.

[Morgan]

Yeah. And there will be some nights where I'll prep it, but it just doesn't taste quite as good.

[Eddie]

Doesn't eggs. Eggs have to be fresh.

[Morgan]

Yeah. So I make.

[Eddie]

Unless they're boiled. Hard boiled.

[Morgan]

Yes. And, like, sometimes I can do, like, a leftover and add eggs, but it's just easier just to do that. I've really simplified it. And then dinner. I always have to cook a meal. Sometimes that dinner will last a few days, but, like, it's still. I'm still having to make all this food all the time. And that's what's like adding. And I'm not eating out near as much. So if I'm like, there'll be times where I've been out socializing, and I'm like, I have to. Case in point, I had a birthday party I had to go to.

[Eddie]

Okay.

[Morgan]

And I was starving. But, like, the timing wasn't working out. We'd been gone all day. We'd been hanging out with different friends, and, like, we were bopping to the different places we had to go. By the end of the night, we end at this birthday party, and I still hadn't eaten. There were snacks and there was things to eat at this party. But I couldn't eat it because of what I'm doing. And I'm like, okay, well I have to go home and cook dinner. Like I can't just like order something from Uber Eats. I can't eat what's here. So we get home at 11 o'. Clock, I'm making chili until 12:30, then I finally get to eat my dinner.

[Eddie]

Yeah, that's tough.

[Morgan]

So like that's parts hard, especially if I'm not planning ahead. So it's just, it's a lifestyle.

[Eddie]

What do you, what are you doing? Or have you talked about that? Like, what are you doing with your diet?

[Morgan]

Yeah, I mean it's like, it's full. Full detox of just like whole foods. I'm basically vegan right now, gluten free, so same stuff that I've done, but also now doing infrared saunas and walking a lot more each day. And red light therapy and lymphatic drainage. There's just so much more going into it than I've ever done.

[Eddie]

Lymphatic drainage? What is that? That sounds serious.

[Morgan]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

What are you draining? You're draining your lymph nodes kind of.

[Morgan]

Because we take in like toxins every day. Heavy metals and all kinds of stuff and the drainage is supposed to have.

[Eddie]

What do you mean, heavy metals? What are you taking? Like, what do you mean?

[Morgan]

It's just in the atmosphere. If you're drinking out of certain things or having foods.

[Eddie]

This is metal.

[Morgan]

I don't know the exact science behind it, so don't quote me on that. But yes, there's like heavy metals in certain things. Just like we hear all the studies. Yeah, so you're just, it's like constant flow. But like again, once I get to a point I'll be able to balance and like have food at different places and not be completely vegan and all this other stuff. But it's, it's just a change right now.

[Eddie]

So. Yeah, that's, it's hard. It's hard to like cook that much and, and then go places and expect them to have something you can eat. Like, that's so hard.

[Morgan]

Oh yeah.

[Eddie]

Even just restaurants that you would think like, oh, they've got to have something. No, some restaurants don't have anything that are good for you to eat if you're trying to do that.

[Morgan]

Yeah, exactly. So I've had to avoid a lot.

[Eddie]

Yeah, it's tough.

[Morgan]

I've had to stop socializing quite as much.

[Eddie]

I'm like, sorry, guys, that's hard for you.

[Morgan]

Yeah, it's gonna be hard for both of us. Like, you and I are both very social creatures, so I've had to very much. Like, we just need to stay home and hang out. Remy, Hazel, we're all gonna get better, okay? Like, everybody get healthy, and we're just gonna hang out. That's why I, like, redid my whole deck and everything, because I'm like, I need to spend more time at home for a little bit.

[Eddie]

Is it. Is it finally where you want it?

[Morgan]

Yes. I need. I need my boyfriend to come over and install the projection screen.

[Eddie]

Oh, yeah, yeah.

[Morgan]

That's the last piece.

[Eddie]

That's really cool.

[Morgan]

Yeah, I'm excited. So the couch is all in, and it's all screened in and stuff, but.

[Eddie]

Yeah, man, home is, like, where we. I mean, for us, we spend 80%. Well, maybe less because of all the sports stuff, but, like, we spent most of our time at home. You know, like, you want it to be.

[Morgan]

Have you created a space at your house that's, like, your area, Dad's area? You don't have a man cave or.

[Eddie]

No, the kids kind of just take over the house. Like, I have my office, but, like, one of my boys, that's where kind of. He, like, does all his work. So he's in there all the time? Yeah.

[Morgan]

Homework.

[Eddie]

His school. Yeah, he homeschools now, so, like. So he's in there all day, and then he writes scripts. He tries. He writes movie scripts, so he works there, like, at night, you know? So, like, I'll. I'll walk in there and be like, oh, I guess he's in there. Okay, cool.

[Morgan]

You're like, I'm gonna work on the.

[Eddie]

Couch, but it's got all my stuff in there, you know, like, pictures on the. On the wall, trophies, all our awards stuff, and, like, whatever. It's definitely my. My spot, but he's in there all the time.

[Morgan]

He's taking it over.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Morgan]

It's not for you anymore.

[Eddie]

Oh, man.

[Morgan]

Well, I also. That's. New homeschool. How's it going?

[Eddie]

Good. Homeschool's awesome. Like, for. For him because.

[Morgan]

Mentioned that before, and I didn't.

[Eddie]

I don't know. Maybe not. Maybe not. It was. I think, for him, like, school was hard because there's just a lot of distractions. There's. You know, there's. The social aspect of school is stressful. It was stressful for him. And, like, he wasn't doing well in class. Like, the academic part was suffering because he was trying to figure out where he'd fit in or, like, you know, trying to make people laugh so people think he's funny. And I get that. That's how I was, you know, in high school.

[Morgan]

You had social anxiety?

[Eddie]

No, I was just more. I prioritized making friends and having fun more than doing the school part.

[Morgan]

So is that what. More what he was trying to do?

[Eddie]

Kind of, yeah. Like, he's a little more socially awkward. So I think for him, it was more of, like, just kind of. That consumed his mind so much that, like, he wouldn't listen to any lecture. And so then when it was time to do his homework, he was just like, what? I don't remember us talking about that. Well, yeah, because you were so busy, like, trying to make people laugh or whatever.

[Morgan]

That's hard. Being a teenager is hard when you're trying to fit in and understand. It is hard and make friends and do the whole thing.

[Eddie]

Very challenging for him. And so when we decided to. To try the homeschooling thing, it was like, wow. Well, first off, who's gonna do it? Like, is my wife gonna do it? Like, I'm not gonna, you know, be the. What do they call it? I don't know what it's called. Whoever, like, conducts the homeschooling.

[Morgan]

You know, teacher or the.

[Eddie]

Yeah, but. But it's, like, usually a parent who has to organize everything.

[Morgan]

Okay.

[Eddie]

But we found one that we can do online that was done through a university, and the university handles all that. The university does the curriculum, the university does tutoring that does. You can do zoom calls with a professor if you have any questions, but you just watch a video, and then you do homework or you do lessons and you take tests. And, like, he's got all A's and B's.

[Morgan]

That's awesome.

[Eddie]

Like, for the first time in his life, he just, like, dominates school now, and he's done by, like, noon, and he goes to the gym from, like, 1 to 2, and then he's got a job that he does at 3, and he's home at, like, 6.

[Morgan]

He's getting more prepared for the workforce than half of us were by the time we went to college.

[Eddie]

Totally. Totally. And, like, I would have never thought that, like, that the homeschool would have been the answer, you know? Now the social part, he has to do a little more effort.

[Morgan]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

He has to make. You know, because it's all. You know, how it is. Like, in high school, like, if you're not around, friends don't think about you. Like, it's kind of just like, where's Eddie? Like, and then they try to invite you a couple places and then they don't see you every day. So then they forget about Eddie, you know, so like, he's got to kind of make the effort now and be like, what are you guys doing this weekend? Because the calls aren't coming in and being like, hey, you want to come with us? Because he doesn't go school with them anymore, so that's a little more challenging. And then we have to remind them like, hey, have you talked to your friends this week? And he's like, no, I haven't. I'm like, see what they're doing Friday.

The super secret Bestie club podcast season four is here and we're locked in. That means more juicy cheeseman, terrible love advice, evil spells to cast on your ex.

[Eddie]

No, no, no, we're not doing that this season.

[Morgan]

Oh, well, this season we're leveling up.

[Eddie]

Each episode will feature a second special bestie and you're not going to want to miss it. Get in here. Today we have a very special guest with us. Our new super secret bestie is the diva of the people.

[Morgan]

The diva of the people.

[Eddie]

I'm just like texturex My theory is that if you need to figure out that the stove is hot, go and touch it. Go and figure it out for yourself.

[Morgan]

Okay, that's us.

[Eddie]

What the heck? That's us. My name is Curly and I'm Maya. In each episode, we'll talk about love, friendship, heartbreaks, men, and of course, our favorite secrets.

[Morgan]

Listen to the super secret bestie club as a part of the Michael Tura podcast network, available on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast.

[Eddie]

I had this, like, overwhelming sensation that I had to call her right there and I just hit call, said, you know, hey, I'm Jacob Schick. I'm the CEO of One Tribe foundation. And. And I just wanted to go on and let her know there's a lot of people battling some of the very same things you're battling. And there is help out there. The Good Stuff podcast season two takes a deep look into One Tribe Foundation, a nonprofit fighting suicide in the veteran community. September is National Suicide Prevention Month, so join hosts Jacob and Ashley Schick as they bring you to the front lines of One Tribe's mission.

[Morgan]

I was married to a combat army veteran, and he actually took his own life to suicide. One Tribe saved my life twice.

[Eddie]

There's a lot of love that flows through this place, and it's sincere.

[Morgan]

Now it's a personal mission. Don't want to have to go to any more funerals.

[Eddie]

You know, I got blown up on a react mission. I ended up having amputation below the knee of my right leg and a traumatic brain injury because I landed on my head.

[Morgan]

Welcome to season two of the Good Stuff.

[Eddie]

Listen to the Good Stuff podcast on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

[Morgan]

Hola, it's honey German. And my podcast, Gracias. Come Again is back. This season, we're going even deeper into the world of music and entertainment with raw and honest conversations with some of your favorite Latin artists and celebrities. You didn't have to audition.

[Eddie]

No, I didn't audition. I haven't auditioned in, like, over 25 years.

[Morgan]

Oh, wow. That's a real G talk right there. Oh, yeah. We've got some of the biggest actors, musicians, content creators, and culture shifters sharing their real stories of failure and success. Josie and Dogo Muketo, you were destined to be a star. We talk all about what's viral and trending with a little bit of cheeseman, a lot of laughs, and those amazing vivas you've come to expect. And of course, we'll explore deeper topics dealing with identity struggles and all the issues affecting our Latin community. You feel like you get a little whitewashed because you have to do the code switching.

[Eddie]

I won't say whitewashed because at the end of the day, you know, I'm me. Yeah. But the whole pretending and co, you know, it takes a toll on you.

[Morgan]

Listen to the new season of Grass has come again as part of Michael Tura Podcast Network on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcast, or wherever you get your podcast. Okay. So it kind of feels honestly like he's having to date in a way. Like, he has to really force energy to put his focus on having his friendships and maintaining his friends.

[Eddie]

Yeah, yeah.

[Morgan]

Because so much of the benefit of school is that you're around your friends all the time.

[Eddie]

All the time.

[Morgan]

So friendship day can come easy depending on scenarios. And so, like, the hope is that you just make friends naturally and it's. It's not something that you really have to think about. Whereas his is really more reversed.

[Eddie]

Yes. But it's weird too, because I'm like. And I have to be careful how I talk to him about it because I do want to let him know, like, dude, high school, like, sometimes those friends, like, you all go to colleges and then you kind of lose those friendships. College is where you make those lifelong friends. That's the way it was for me. I still know some friends of mine that they're still close to all the high school guys. So it's not the same for everyone. But since it's so challenging for him, I kind of want to encourage him by being like, don't sweat it. Sure. Get your social your need out of it and call him up and go out or do whatever you need to. But don't put too much pressure on yourself to, like, try to be accepted or find your friend group in high school, because sometimes, like, those don't last. In college is where I made all of my lifelong friends.

[Morgan]

Now do you think he will go to college, a traditional college, because of. I mean, you want to talk about a distraction from studies?

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Morgan]

It's everywhere.

[Eddie]

Big time. I know.

[Morgan]

So do you think that's going to be the route that he goes?

[Eddie]

I think that's the route he wants to go.

[Morgan]

Are you worried about that at all?

[Eddie]

A little bit. Little bit. And I kind of tell him too, like, that's why homeschool. He's gotta be up at a certain time. He's got to be. He's got to be like, he's got to shower, like, he's going to school, he's got to dress like he's going to school every day. Even though he's just going downstairs. He's got to go work out like he does, you know, like he would at school. He's got. It's all those things that we're trying to be like, you've got to go hang out with your friends, like have that social time. Because like if, if he doesn't have that consistency or that pattern. Yeah. I think he will kind of go haywire in college and be like woo hoo and do whatever I want. But the way his personality is, he is just very like, I wake up and I do things this way every day. Even if he doesn't want coffee, he still makes his coffee in the morning. You know what I mean? He's a very routine guy.

[Morgan]

Well, and routine is really good for people in general too. If they can understand what works best for them. Routine can really help people just have consistency. And that allows people, especially if you have a situation like this where your brain can kind of go in all different places, it allows them to have some normalcy. But I also want to hear about the other kids too. How is everybody?

[Eddie]

Yeah, they're fine. They're good, they're good. Like with them, sports just drives their world. I think there is the, the second to oldest, he's 11. He is in middle school. It's his first year in middle school. So he's kind of like, we're kind of seeing a little bit of stress too. He's not a stressful kid. Everything's easy to him. He's responsible, he gets everything done. Don't have to check his homework. He double checks his own homework. Like he's that kind of kid. But going into middle school, like he's starting to forget things. Like he forgot to take his shoulder pads to school, you know, and he's just like little things like that. And I'm like, what? What's happening? But it's the same thing. It's the same thing of like, you know, going from elementary school, that jump to middle school and you're like, oh my gosh, this is so much bigger. Kind of liking girls now, you know, like friends start finding other friend groups and like, oh, we're not. It just all of this like drama, unnecessary drama that we put on ourselves around that time, 11, 12, you know, and so I don't know, I just, I worry for him and them especially, you know, my oldest with his things. But even him now going into this, like I just want them to, like, realize it's okay. Like, don't worry too much about this stuff.

[Morgan]

Even though you know that that's not gonna work.

[Eddie]

It's not gonna work.

[Morgan]

I mean, all of us, we all went through it. That's. I was just about to say, I don't think there's enough credit given to kids. And as they grow up in age, you go through so many life changes in such a short amount of time, and there's so much you have to learn and understand, and you're trying to figure out who you are and what that looks like and how do I fit in here and who are these people? And you can't look at any of that from a bird's eye view until you're older.

[Eddie]

I know, and I don't even think they know that that's happening. Like, he doesn't know that that's what's happening. But we're older. We know exactly what's happening.

[Morgan]

You're having that moment as a parent that I'm sure your parents had with you and the parents before and et cetera, where they're like, gosh, I wish I could just shake this kid and be like, it's gonna be okay. Don't think about this and don't worry.

[Eddie]

Don't worry about that stuff. But you can. They have to.

[Morgan]

Yeah, they have to go through those things to become who they're gonna be. And that's hard. Yeah, you have to really, like, kind of let go and let life happen. Is that weird?

[Eddie]

It is. It is weird. I mean, it is weird. And you just kind of like, hope that everything is gonna be. They'll be fine, and they'll be fine, but it sucks for them, especially, like, you know, seeing personalities change because he's always been a certain kind of person and now he's kind of forgetting things. And I'm like, poor guy, man. Like, he's probably thinking, like, what is happening to me right now? Like, I never act like this.

[Morgan]

Got to go through a lot of different life stages to figure it out.

[Eddie]

And then the two little ones, they're great. I mean, they're.

[Morgan]

They're still living life normally right now.

[Eddie]

Yeah, that. Well, yes. Our 10 year old, he's still in. He's still in elementary school. So, like. And I think the jump from. The jump from elementary school to middle school is just so big that, like, you don't even see that coming. Like right now, you know, our. The, the 10 year old, he's in fourth grade and like, he has no idea what's about to hit him. Like, no idea.

[Morgan]

Yeah, we never did.

[Eddie]

No, you just jump right in there. You're like, what is this?

[Morgan]

And how are your mom and sister? I know. They visited.

[Eddie]

Yeah, they're good. You're good. So my mom's been here for two and a half weeks. She just kind of. She just loves being around the grandchildren. I mean, we keep her busy, man. Like, she comes into town, and we're like, all right, do you want to go to his practice, or do you want to go to his game, or do you want to come with me to that?

[Morgan]

And, like, she probably really enjoys the busyness.

[Eddie]

She does. Because she lives alone. Even though she lives near my sister and they see each other all the time, she still lives alone. So she loves the busyness. She loves staying busy. She loves seeing the grandkids and seeing what they do. But we never really have fun. It's always just like, boom, practice, game, practice game. Once in a while, maybe let's go out to eat. But my sister was like, I'm coming in, and I'm not gonna go to games and practices the whole time. Let's go to the Opry. And I was like, great idea. I've never been to the Opry. Kind of just to go watch, like, as a spectator. Never. And then we've played it a handful of times. But, like, I've never gone to sit down on the pews and. And watch the show. And my mom was like, oh, my gosh. That'd be amazing. You think you can get tickets? I'm like, yeah. So we went the other night, and she loved it. My sister loved it. It's just cool. It was cool to, like, we had dinner. We, like, I think there's an Olive Garden near. Near there.

[Morgan]

And, like, yeah, I love that Olive Garden.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Morgan]

That's also where I got stood up, Eddie.

[Eddie]

What? What do you mean?

[Morgan]

But I went back with my now boyfriend. He helps me have a good experience.

[Eddie]

No, hold on. So you had a date?

[Morgan]

Yeah. You don't remember me talking about this at Olive Garden? Yeah, I talked about it on the show. I got stood up there.

[Eddie]

No, I don't remember. Refresh my memory.

[Morgan]

It was the first day, and he just, like, straight up.

[Eddie]

No, showed the one by the Opry.

[Morgan]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

Damn.

[Morgan]

But then, like, two months into my relationship.

[Eddie]

I do remember. You did get stood. You got stood up. But I guess I didn't remember it was Olive Garden.

[Morgan]

Yeah. But my. My boyfriend now. I was like, I've still been craving Olive Garden. I never got it. So can we go? He's like, yeah, we can go.

[Eddie]

It's so good, isn't it?

[Morgan]

So, yeah. Now that memory. So right.

[Eddie]

New one replaced. Good, good. Forget that crap.

[Morgan]

Well, I'm glad that your. Your trip with your mom and sister, though, has been good. And hopefully you did more than just the Opry.

[Eddie]

We did the Opry. They love. Like, my sister loves to try new or try restaurants. So, like, they went to a restaurant. They. I don't know where they went, but.

[Morgan]

Oh, you didn't go with them?

[Eddie]

No, because somebody's got to stay with the kids. And it's. And I get it. She has no kid. My sister has no kids. She's married, but no kids. And so she's used to, like, a silent life, whereas. And they get to do whatever they want. My life is not that.

[Morgan]

My life is your polar opposite.

[Eddie]

Polar opposites. And, like, she always comes to the house and, like, she hears just rumblings upstairs and, like, someone falling and, like, tackling. They're playing football upstairs, and she's like, are they okay? Like, yeah, they're fine. Like, this is just our life. And so sometimes she's like, get me out of here. I need to go to a restaurant or something.

[Morgan]

You know what? I get it.

[Eddie]

I get it, too. I just. They laugh because, like, I don't hear it.

[Morgan]

Yeah, well, you're so used to it. That's your life now.

[Eddie]

Anytime anyone comes over, like, do you hear that? And, like, now. Not really.

[Morgan]

You're like, I've learned how to tune things out.

[Eddie]

And we know how to get. We know how to gauge the screams. Right?

[Morgan]

Like, what's an actual important scream? Yes.

[Eddie]

Like, what's a funny scream? What's a ow, that hurts scream? But I'm not really hurt. And then one, like, I need attention because I'm dying. Yes.

[Morgan]

Oh, that's so funny. Well, dad.

[Eddie]

Dad. What's up? Dad life. A dad life. Yes.
