Tim welcomes his son Eli and niece Jenna to The Fairview Social Podcast for their first-ever appearance. What starts with jokes about a can of SpaghettiOs (from a viral TikTok comment) turns into a family catch-up filled with wild stories — like Eli’s 140-mph speeding ticket that landed him briefly in jail, Jenna’s multiple foot surgeries after a car crash, and how both of them keep getting caught in the family’s “birthday curse” where everyone’s born the same week. The trio riff on family quirks, share memories from basic training, laugh about awkward relationships (including Eli’s infamous false-teeth breakup), and talk about his time serving in Estonia during near–World War III drills. They close out reflecting on COVID, work-from-home culture, and upcoming tattoos — all while joking like a tight-knit family who can roast each other with love.

ALL THINGS THE FAIRVIEW SOCIAL PODCAST

WEBVTT

00:00:22.079 --> 00:00:25.039
We have a couple of special guests today.

00:00:25.039 --> 00:00:28.960
Two people that have never been on the Fairview Social podcast.

00:00:28.960 --> 00:00:30.719
We have Jenna.

00:00:31.600 --> 00:00:31.920
Me.

00:00:32.479 --> 00:00:33.359
And Eli.

00:00:33.359 --> 00:00:36.960
Say hello, Eli.

00:00:36.960 --> 00:00:37.920
Hello.

00:00:37.920 --> 00:00:41.200
Not only the Fairview Social podcast, but any podcast.

00:00:41.520 --> 00:00:41.679
Yes.

00:00:41.679 --> 00:00:42.320
Ditto.

00:00:43.039 --> 00:00:43.359
What?

00:00:43.359 --> 00:00:45.200
The only time you've ever been on one?

00:00:45.200 --> 00:00:46.159
Yeah, that's alright.

00:00:46.159 --> 00:00:48.079
I've never been on one either, other than this one.

00:00:48.079 --> 00:00:48.399
Right.

00:00:48.399 --> 00:00:49.039
What is this?

00:00:49.039 --> 00:00:50.719
Like the 47th?

00:00:50.880 --> 00:00:51.039
Yeah.

00:00:51.280 --> 00:00:51.439
Yeah.

00:00:51.439 --> 00:00:53.759
This will be like the 46th or 47th.

00:00:53.759 --> 00:00:54.880
Yeah, I keep up.

00:00:54.880 --> 00:00:56.000
No, you don't.

00:00:56.000 --> 00:00:57.679
Nobody, nobody else in the family can be able to do that.

00:00:57.679 --> 00:00:58.399
That's not true.

00:00:58.399 --> 00:01:00.159
Well, I keep up when it comes up.

00:01:00.399 --> 00:01:00.719
I don't.

00:01:00.719 --> 00:01:02.880
I was gonna ask, what's with the spaghettios?

00:01:03.359 --> 00:01:05.920
Well, first of all, I'll explain the spaghettios.

00:01:05.920 --> 00:01:11.519
But Eli is my son, and Jenna is my niece, my eldest niece.

00:01:11.519 --> 00:01:14.000
So this is y'all's first time.

00:01:14.000 --> 00:01:17.439
And if you do all right, you may be invited back.

00:01:17.680 --> 00:01:19.439
Oh generous.

00:01:19.760 --> 00:01:21.439
So anyway, the spaghettios.

00:01:21.439 --> 00:01:23.920
This is new for the viewers.

00:01:23.920 --> 00:01:37.599
We have a can of spaghettios, and the reason that we have that is because I posted a video on TikTok about hourly versus salary wages, and people were very unhappy what I had to say.

00:01:37.599 --> 00:01:55.599
And one guy was it was me and Joseph and and my friend Mike Riley talking, and I said, it doesn't matter what you feel as far as like hourly and salary, but the guy was was like, What who do these guys work for?

00:01:55.599 --> 00:01:58.159
Are they meatball testers for spaghettias?

00:01:58.400 --> 00:01:59.120
No, literally.

00:01:59.359 --> 00:02:04.000
It was a backwards way of calling us fat, which was which was very clever.

00:02:04.000 --> 00:02:08.960
So I decided to get a can of spaghetti o meatballs to be reminded that I'm fat.

00:02:08.960 --> 00:02:13.199
No, you're not so that's what the spaghettios are.

00:02:13.439 --> 00:02:14.560
That's funny.

00:02:14.800 --> 00:02:19.199
So anyway, so you guys are here for a baby shower for Trinity.

00:02:19.520 --> 00:02:20.879
And crazy.

00:02:21.599 --> 00:02:26.240
I guess the only time we all see each other is when there's some kind of event going on.

00:02:26.400 --> 00:02:28.080
So pretty much.

00:02:28.400 --> 00:02:32.000
I wrote a couple of notes down like 10 minutes ago, things that we could talk about.

00:02:32.000 --> 00:02:34.479
And you know what the first thing I wrote down was?

00:02:34.479 --> 00:02:35.199
What?

00:02:35.199 --> 00:02:37.840
Eli speeding on 840.

00:02:37.840 --> 00:02:40.159
Like seven years ago.

00:02:40.159 --> 00:02:41.199
You remember that?

00:02:41.199 --> 00:02:42.000
Yeah.

00:02:42.000 --> 00:02:44.719
Do you know you know what happened with that?

00:02:44.960 --> 00:02:46.560
Is that why you got arrested?

00:02:46.560 --> 00:02:47.439
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:02:47.439 --> 00:02:50.639
And they bailed you out, which is crazy to me.

00:02:50.879 --> 00:02:51.120
Yeah.

00:02:51.360 --> 00:02:52.319
Oh, not me.

00:02:52.319 --> 00:02:53.919
I was stuck in that home.

00:02:54.240 --> 00:02:58.639
What happened was Z was living in Spring Hill at the time, and he was.

00:02:58.639 --> 00:03:00.719
You tell us what happened.

00:03:00.960 --> 00:03:10.960
I don't there was like, I think we were doing like some family event, which is why I was in Fairview, but then I had to go back to Spring Hill and then come back.

00:03:10.960 --> 00:03:12.560
So I wanted to do it fast.

00:03:12.560 --> 00:03:14.479
So I and you were in my minivan.

00:03:14.479 --> 00:03:19.439
Yeah, and it was like not the mini because it was like 140 and a 70 or something like that.

00:03:19.439 --> 00:03:22.639
140 and a 70.

00:03:22.879 --> 00:03:24.719
Who was it only if the county cow?

00:03:24.719 --> 00:03:25.439
What do you say?

00:03:25.680 --> 00:03:27.439
Uh I don't remember.

00:03:27.599 --> 00:03:29.599
Um, I figured it's something smart ass.

00:03:29.599 --> 00:03:30.240
That's why I asked.

00:03:30.400 --> 00:03:31.680
I was I was very nervous.

00:03:31.680 --> 00:03:35.280
Uh only been pulled over like three times in my life, including that one.

00:03:35.360 --> 00:03:38.800
So he was probably less than thrilled that you were going that fast.

00:03:38.800 --> 00:03:39.360
Yeah.

00:03:39.360 --> 00:03:45.360
But immediately when we got the phone call, Nikki said Eli got pulled over in all this.

00:03:45.360 --> 00:03:47.919
And I was like, Well, how the hell fast was he going?

00:03:47.919 --> 00:03:51.840
You can't go too fast in a minivan, and she said 140.

00:03:51.840 --> 00:03:54.159
And I was like, 140?

00:03:54.159 --> 00:03:59.120
And I was sitting there thinking to myself, Eli, you shouldn't have done that.

00:03:59.120 --> 00:04:03.919
But I mean, that's good to know that if you need to go that fast, it'll go that fast.

00:04:04.240 --> 00:04:05.360
Don't make it go that fast.

00:04:05.360 --> 00:04:06.000
That's crazy.

00:04:06.000 --> 00:04:06.319
Yeah.

00:04:06.479 --> 00:04:08.800
So you ended up getting arrested for that, didn't you?

00:04:08.800 --> 00:04:10.080
So not that day.

00:04:10.080 --> 00:04:13.120
Um, oh yeah, that was one of the things where you had to go book yourself.

00:04:13.120 --> 00:04:14.319
So the cop let you go.

00:04:14.560 --> 00:04:15.840
Yeah, which he shouldn't have.

00:04:15.840 --> 00:04:18.639
You're supposed to get like arrested on the spot because that's a felony.

00:04:18.639 --> 00:04:22.560
Um I didn't get a felony though, fortunately.

00:04:22.560 --> 00:04:27.120
Um, but no, uh, he gave me a ticket, gave me a court date.

00:04:27.120 --> 00:04:32.160
Um, I went to court, didn't know I was going to jail that day.

00:04:32.160 --> 00:04:36.959
They said, Well, I'm supposed to send you to jail for 72 hours.

00:04:36.959 --> 00:04:42.800
However, because you're going into the army, uh, and my husband says that basic is worse than jail.

00:04:42.800 --> 00:04:45.680
I'm gonna drop it to set or to 24 hours.

00:04:45.680 --> 00:04:48.160
And I was like, All right, yeah, that's that's not bad.

00:04:48.399 --> 00:04:56.240
So you got to go sit in jail for 24 hours, but that was only because you were actually you were scheduled to go to basic training like the next day or something, weren't you?

00:04:56.480 --> 00:05:04.319
Yeah, so it was um I went to court on a Friday, then spent Saturday in jail, and then Monday I left.

00:05:05.040 --> 00:05:05.439
Wow.

00:05:05.680 --> 00:05:06.000
Yeah.

00:05:06.399 --> 00:05:07.120
Well, that was good.

00:05:07.120 --> 00:05:08.959
How was your experience in jail?

00:05:08.959 --> 00:05:12.000
Um for one day.

00:05:12.639 --> 00:05:18.959
I mean, like everyone knew because like they obviously everyone asks, like, hey, why are you here and stuff?

00:05:18.959 --> 00:05:24.480
And uh so I told them and I was like, Yeah, I'm only here for 24 hours, and they're like, Oh, would you bring us?

00:05:24.480 --> 00:05:28.319
I smuggled them in some like drugs or something.

00:05:28.319 --> 00:05:31.120
Um But I mean it wasn't terrible.

00:05:31.120 --> 00:05:32.240
They were all nice.

00:05:32.240 --> 00:05:36.959
I gave them my food because I was only there for like 24 hours.

00:05:36.959 --> 00:05:40.720
And were you just in there with like people that are in there all the time or something?

00:05:40.720 --> 00:05:49.279
Well, oh actually, so um I got booked with uh this really big dude.

00:05:49.279 --> 00:06:01.519
Um apparently he and his family are rich and they have a helicopter and they fly into the uh what was that horse race uh thing up in uh Bellevue?

00:06:01.519 --> 00:06:04.399
In Belmine or yeah Belmin's steeplechase.

00:06:04.399 --> 00:06:04.959
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:06:04.959 --> 00:06:09.439
So his family flies in on a helicopter, Steeplechase every year.

00:06:09.439 --> 00:06:15.759
And so I came in with him and we were talking a little bit, so I guess everyone thought we were all buddy buddy.

00:06:15.759 --> 00:06:22.079
He's a he was a big dude, so I think uh I think everyone thought that we were friends, so they didn't mess with me.

00:06:22.079 --> 00:06:22.879
Well, that's good.

00:06:24.319 --> 00:06:36.160
Well, so and then I was thinking about also about um, and this is where we went to go visit you in Louisiana after um I guess you would just move there or something.

00:06:36.160 --> 00:06:37.920
What did we go to visit you for, Jenna?

00:06:37.920 --> 00:06:39.839
What it wasn't even she lived there.

00:06:39.920 --> 00:06:43.040
I mean, he they oh, they were about to announce Freya.

00:06:43.040 --> 00:06:44.879
We went there for after Christmas.

00:06:44.879 --> 00:06:47.040
Was it would they announce Freya?

00:06:47.519 --> 00:06:47.920
Oh, yeah.

00:06:48.240 --> 00:06:49.360
I still have the video.

00:06:49.680 --> 00:07:02.399
So anyway, Jenna went with us to Louisiana while you were there, and and me and Jenna went and we got matching tattoos in like some kind of trailer, in a trailer from a tattoo artist named Bobby.

00:07:02.639 --> 00:07:04.079
Bobby, that was his name.

00:07:04.480 --> 00:07:07.759
Yeah, it was like the most sketchy thing ever.

00:07:07.920 --> 00:07:15.279
I had a splint, like I had a crutch, I had like a walker, had to like have a put my pillow underneath my foot during the tattoo.

00:07:15.279 --> 00:07:16.240
Like it was crazy.

00:07:16.240 --> 00:07:16.720
I was crazy.

00:07:17.120 --> 00:07:27.120
I remember that whole thing, that that whole visit sucked for you because like your feet your foot was messed up, and even riding there, you had to have your foot like propped up the I had to lay down for my arm to be tatted.

00:07:27.360 --> 00:07:28.720
Like I was like, that's crazy.

00:07:28.959 --> 00:07:33.279
Yeah, me and Jenna have the same uh feet woes.

00:07:33.279 --> 00:07:37.680
Of course, you just had a surgery, another surgery a couple weeks ago.

00:07:37.920 --> 00:07:38.879
Yeah, the 30th.

00:07:39.040 --> 00:07:40.160
How does it feel now?

00:07:40.160 --> 00:07:44.639
I mean, the drugs are better, so does your foot feel better?

00:07:44.800 --> 00:07:46.000
Yeah, because I don't feel it.

00:07:46.000 --> 00:07:47.519
Drugs work, bro.

00:07:47.680 --> 00:07:48.160
I'm good.

00:07:48.160 --> 00:07:49.759
The drugs never work for me.

00:07:49.759 --> 00:07:58.480
Like any, like, well, of course, I probably shouldn't be telling this to you guys since like I'm supposed to be the adult, but y'all are adults now too.

00:07:58.480 --> 00:08:07.920
But whenever I had my surgeries on my feet, like what I would do is I'd take those oxies that they give me, and it's like it never worked.

00:08:07.920 --> 00:08:14.800
It's like it's like you get high off of it a little bit, but it doesn't make your foot start stop hurting.

00:08:14.800 --> 00:08:16.399
It's like the pain is still there.

00:08:16.399 --> 00:08:19.439
So when I realized that, I was like, here's what I'm gonna do.

00:08:19.439 --> 00:08:21.600
I'm just because I'm gonna be in pain anyway.

00:08:21.600 --> 00:08:28.639
So I would just like sit there in pain, and then around four o'clock in the afternoon, like when I'm get off work, I just take like six of them.

00:08:30.160 --> 00:08:31.360
That's crazy.

00:08:31.600 --> 00:08:42.480
Yeah, I mean, because you you know, you know, you didn't have to drink or anything, you just take those pills, but but then they wear off, and that's why people get addicted because you keep on trying to take more and more.

00:08:42.480 --> 00:08:46.639
Eli I'm trying to explain to you about opioids and how they work.

00:08:47.919 --> 00:08:59.919
So anyway, but I'm also on like two other pills where it's like ridiculous, and it's like just aspirin and ibuprofen, but it's like in large amount in milligrams for just one plus the narcotic.

00:08:59.919 --> 00:09:01.679
Like, I had to cut them in half.

00:09:01.679 --> 00:09:03.120
I was like, it's too much.

00:09:03.279 --> 00:09:05.759
I can't so what did you do to your foot?

00:09:05.919 --> 00:09:06.960
I had it fixed.

00:09:07.200 --> 00:09:10.960
Well, what tell us tell us everybody like the original issue?

00:09:11.279 --> 00:09:18.879
So, like, I was in a car accident, completely like crushed my ankle, went to Vanderbilt, and I had three surgeries done.

00:09:18.879 --> 00:09:25.440
And she, when I was coming out of anesthesia, she said, I think I tightened her Achilles tendon too tight.

00:09:25.440 --> 00:09:28.000
And we'll find out how it heals.

00:09:28.000 --> 00:09:37.440
So three years go by after three surgeries, and I have like this terrible limp, can't put my foot down all the way whatsoever.

00:09:37.440 --> 00:09:50.399
I schedule uh another surgery with her five months in advance, completely confirmed it, went through all the steps, everything, schedule my entire life around this.

00:09:50.399 --> 00:09:55.200
And come to find out when I get there, she's not there.

00:09:55.200 --> 00:09:59.039
And they're telling me, Oh, we're not prepared for your surgery today.

00:09:59.039 --> 00:09:59.840
Why?

00:09:59.840 --> 00:10:01.279
We're just not.

00:10:01.279 --> 00:10:02.720
You're kidding.

00:10:02.720 --> 00:10:03.919
That doesn't make any sense.

00:10:03.919 --> 00:10:04.720
Where's my doctor?

00:10:04.720 --> 00:10:05.440
She's not here.

00:10:05.440 --> 00:10:11.440
Okay, so I'm like calling them for like a month straight, no response whatsoever, nothing.

00:10:11.440 --> 00:10:13.440
This, oh, your doctor will get back to you.

00:10:13.440 --> 00:10:14.480
Okay, great.

00:10:14.480 --> 00:10:19.519
I go to TOA and TOA meet this new doctor, Dr.

00:10:19.519 --> 00:10:24.080
Corn, and literally like within a month, I'm already scheduled for a new surgery.

00:10:24.080 --> 00:10:27.679
He's already coming up with new options, new ideas for like what I could do.

00:10:27.679 --> 00:10:33.919
And then he just lengthened my Achilles tendon, cleaned up the arthritis, and took out a few screws.

00:10:33.919 --> 00:10:39.840
He said that two broke, and like he left in the broken pieces, but he took out the rest.

00:10:39.840 --> 00:10:44.960
And yeah, he said it's gonna be like another two more weeks till I see him.

00:10:44.960 --> 00:10:47.600
Yeah, should be better by like Christmas Eve.

00:10:48.000 --> 00:10:52.399
So, like anytime you go through a metal detector for the rest of your life, you're gonna have to explain your foot.

00:10:52.799 --> 00:10:53.600
Yeah, pretty much.

00:10:53.600 --> 00:10:56.720
One time I did, it was stupid titanium though.

00:10:56.720 --> 00:10:57.519
So I don't know.

00:10:57.840 --> 00:11:10.080
Yeah, it goes off sometimes for me, and I've been in situations where you know you're in a hurry in the airport and they pull you aside and they scan it, and it happened a lot when I had uh a lot of hardware.

00:11:10.080 --> 00:11:14.080
I've only got two screws in each foot now, but I Wow.

00:11:14.080 --> 00:11:16.000
You can do that if you want.

00:11:16.000 --> 00:11:20.080
That's actually a a magnet magnet that you can have.

00:11:20.080 --> 00:11:25.759
But you don't have to you don't have to worry about your drink sweating on this table.

00:11:25.759 --> 00:11:27.600
This table's been through a little bit.

00:11:27.600 --> 00:11:30.879
I'm just doing it because it's loud when I put it down.

00:11:30.879 --> 00:11:40.879
But anyway, so yeah, I had to have all the hardware taken out of my feet in one of those surgeries because they were like poking through the like poking my skin and like rubbing it.

00:11:40.879 --> 00:11:41.519
Yeah.

00:11:41.519 --> 00:11:44.000
Yeah, it sucks.

00:11:44.240 --> 00:11:46.080
So you don't have any more whatsoever?

00:11:46.240 --> 00:11:49.840
I've only got two screws in each, like through each heel up through the middle.

00:11:50.159 --> 00:11:51.519
So he took mine out of my heel.

00:11:51.679 --> 00:11:52.240
Oh, did he?

00:11:52.399 --> 00:11:58.399
Yeah, so I don't know what else because that was one of the worst ones, but like some in like the front top of my foot are broken.

00:11:58.399 --> 00:12:00.639
But like he took out I don't know how many is left.

00:12:00.639 --> 00:12:03.039
So yeah, there's I don't there's no telling.

00:12:03.200 --> 00:12:05.600
Well, hopefully you feel better by the end of the year.

00:12:05.600 --> 00:12:06.799
Sounds like it you will be.

00:12:06.799 --> 00:12:09.039
When will you start being able to walk on it?

00:12:09.200 --> 00:12:10.720
I'm hoping after my birthday.

00:12:10.960 --> 00:12:12.720
Well, when is your birthday?

00:12:12.960 --> 00:12:13.840
After Eli's.

00:12:14.000 --> 00:12:15.039
When is Eli's?

00:12:15.039 --> 00:12:17.519
On a Wednesday, on what date?

00:12:17.759 --> 00:12:18.240
The 5th.

00:12:18.240 --> 00:12:19.519
Mine's the 8th.

00:12:19.519 --> 00:12:20.559
You don't know my birthday?

00:12:20.720 --> 00:12:23.440
I do know it, but uh, people listening don't know when your birthday is.

00:12:23.440 --> 00:12:25.200
I'm like, I'm testing you though.

00:12:25.200 --> 00:12:27.200
It could have been like six months from now.

00:12:27.360 --> 00:12:28.320
No, I'm testing you.

00:12:28.320 --> 00:12:29.440
I was like, that's crazy.

00:12:29.759 --> 00:12:31.600
Well, your birthday is here in a couple weeks, yeah.

00:12:31.759 --> 00:12:32.559
November 8th.

00:12:32.720 --> 00:12:37.200
Yeah, 15 days 15 days, a couple weeks, wait, just over two weeks.

00:12:37.360 --> 00:12:38.799
For yours or for hours?

00:12:38.799 --> 00:12:41.279
I was like, three days, same.

00:12:41.279 --> 00:12:43.360
Yeah, your birthday's on a full moon.

00:12:43.600 --> 00:12:46.879
Yeah, it's like my mom was talking about it.

00:12:46.879 --> 00:12:53.840
How uh Eli Eliana, Eliana Elizabeth, Eli, Eli, full moon.

00:12:54.000 --> 00:12:57.279
They want Trinity to be in labor on your birthday.

00:12:57.519 --> 00:13:10.080
Trinity is Trinity is Nikki's sister, our aunt, but she is Eli and Jenna's aunt, and she's only like actually she's younger.

00:13:10.080 --> 00:13:12.879
No, she's trend younger.

00:13:12.879 --> 00:13:13.200
Yep.

00:13:13.200 --> 00:13:16.159
She's six months older than you guys.

00:13:16.159 --> 00:13:19.600
I mean, that sounds like some backwood stuff.

00:13:20.320 --> 00:13:21.519
No, no, nothing about that.

00:13:21.519 --> 00:13:22.399
That's all y'all.

00:13:22.399 --> 00:13:23.039
That's it.

00:13:23.039 --> 00:13:26.159
Not you, but that's everybody else.

00:13:26.159 --> 00:13:27.120
We got brought into this.

00:13:27.919 --> 00:13:29.600
Your mom's family's from Michigan.

00:13:29.600 --> 00:13:34.240
I mean, I thought that that was more like redneck type of thing here in in Tennessee.

00:13:34.320 --> 00:13:43.120
Like, I mean, they're just they just have a big family, like yeah, you gotta think their mom is one of twelve, and then Nikki's one of eight.

00:13:43.360 --> 00:13:43.919
Yeah.

00:13:43.919 --> 00:13:54.559
Well, it so happens that Kimmy is your mother, and so I'm giving you an opportunity here to talk bad about her if you'd like to, because that's what online is crazy.

00:13:54.559 --> 00:13:54.960
Yeah.

00:13:55.440 --> 00:13:56.320
My mother.

00:13:56.639 --> 00:13:57.759
Your mom is crazy?

00:13:58.240 --> 00:14:02.080
No, talking bad about her online is crazy.

00:14:02.080 --> 00:14:03.279
Well, I do it all the time.

00:14:03.279 --> 00:14:04.159
I'm sure you do.

00:14:04.159 --> 00:14:05.919
That's because you guys have a different relationship.

00:14:06.159 --> 00:14:07.279
Yeah, but she's also here.

00:14:07.279 --> 00:14:08.639
Like, you do it to her face.

00:14:08.639 --> 00:14:08.960
Yeah.

00:14:08.960 --> 00:14:10.879
It's a beautiful different.

00:14:11.120 --> 00:14:12.320
I do it to her face too.

00:14:12.320 --> 00:14:14.879
Like, we'd be joking, but like, nothing serious.

00:14:14.879 --> 00:14:15.840
It's my mom.

00:14:16.080 --> 00:14:21.360
Well, I mean, I'm giving both of you the opportunity to talk bad about your mothers, and you've declined.

00:14:21.360 --> 00:14:25.919
So I guess that there's like no bond, like a motherly bond, I guess.

00:14:25.919 --> 00:14:28.639
Sure.

00:14:28.639 --> 00:14:29.440
Okay.

00:14:29.440 --> 00:14:30.240
All right.

00:14:30.240 --> 00:14:31.759
Well, we don't have we can skip that part.

00:14:31.759 --> 00:14:33.279
We don't have to talk bad about your mom.

00:14:33.279 --> 00:14:35.360
I'll talk bad about her next time I see her.

00:14:36.159 --> 00:14:38.480
We can fill it in with our family curse.

00:14:38.480 --> 00:14:40.320
What's our family curse?

00:14:40.320 --> 00:14:41.519
Being born.

00:14:41.519 --> 00:14:43.279
Being born, period.

00:14:44.320 --> 00:14:44.480
Yeah.

00:14:44.720 --> 00:14:45.279
Yeah, kinda.

00:14:45.279 --> 00:14:53.600
No, but like um Hayden and Daphne born within a small time frame, Jack and Lily, me and Jenna.

00:14:54.000 --> 00:14:56.879
Um all y'all sharing birthdays with each other, too.

00:14:56.879 --> 00:14:57.759
Very close enough.

00:14:57.759 --> 00:14:58.639
That's what I'm talking about.

00:14:58.639 --> 00:15:01.759
Like Hayden and Ron share the same birthday.

00:15:01.759 --> 00:15:04.879
Trinity and Jack share the same birthday.

00:15:04.879 --> 00:15:07.120
Uh Freya and Mateo.

00:15:07.120 --> 00:15:09.919
David and they're the same, they were born the same day.

00:15:10.159 --> 00:15:11.519
Yeah, within 24 hours.

00:15:11.679 --> 00:15:20.399
Yeah, and then Daphne and Kylan and Trent and David and um I think it's just Trent and David.

00:15:20.399 --> 00:15:22.159
How does this were born within like a week?

00:15:22.320 --> 00:15:22.960
How does this work?

00:15:22.960 --> 00:15:27.840
There's 365 days in a year, and everybody falls on the same time around here.

00:15:27.840 --> 00:15:36.799
Everybody fucking I guess Eli's Eli and Taylor are pregnant, and so there's that again.

00:15:36.799 --> 00:15:38.799
And Trinity's about to have this baby.

00:15:39.120 --> 00:15:42.639
Our cousin Serena just had her baby girl in February.

00:15:42.960 --> 00:15:46.159
Trinity's gonna have that baby on your birthday, Eli.

00:15:46.159 --> 00:15:47.120
Recently, actually, yeah.

00:15:47.120 --> 00:15:49.759
You're gonna have to share your birthday with with the new baby.

00:15:49.759 --> 00:15:50.559
Yeah, probably.

00:15:50.799 --> 00:15:52.480
Me and grandma share a birthday together.

00:15:52.639 --> 00:15:53.759
Yeah, that's right.

00:15:53.759 --> 00:15:56.399
I don't get I don't know, man.

00:15:56.399 --> 00:15:57.600
I don't get it.

00:15:57.600 --> 00:16:00.799
Well, so you declined to talk bad about your mother.

00:16:00.799 --> 00:16:02.080
Okay, check.

00:16:02.080 --> 00:16:04.480
Talked about your foot.

00:16:04.480 --> 00:16:14.559
You remember uh you remember when we went to go to your uh basic training uh graduation, and mom brought that girl.

00:16:14.879 --> 00:16:15.519
Yeah.

00:16:15.919 --> 00:16:17.120
What girl?

00:16:17.440 --> 00:16:19.600
I was dating this girl at the time.

00:16:19.759 --> 00:16:35.120
Um I think that you guys were like well, you can correct me if I'm wrong, but bro code in my mind told me that like Eli was trying to get out of this relationship, and he was just like, whatever, because I'm about to go to basic training, and then I'll never talk to her again.

00:16:35.120 --> 00:16:36.879
Yeah, is that what you were planning?

00:16:36.879 --> 00:16:38.879
Yeah, that's basically what it was.

00:16:39.039 --> 00:16:56.080
Um, and like what made it worse is she was riding me throughout the entirety of while I was at basic, and on Father's Day, I got a letter that said happy Father's Day, and I'm like, whoa, whoa, hold up, hold up, hold up.

00:16:56.240 --> 00:16:57.919
So she was on the cray side.

00:16:57.919 --> 00:17:00.639
Yeah, there's there's this mosquito.

00:17:00.639 --> 00:17:01.759
I'm like, are you okay?

00:17:01.759 --> 00:17:24.559
So so it was funny because like I immediately thought, because mom was trying to do something nice for you, and he was like, Whoa, we'll take this girl, I don't even remember her name, and um Lily take bring Lily up there, and like I want to say that she said something like, Oh, I I can't get a hold of Eli or something like that.

00:17:24.559 --> 00:17:27.200
And I was like, Hey, I don't know.

00:17:27.200 --> 00:17:30.880
I don't know, we need to be bringing up you didn't try to stop Nikki at all.

00:17:30.880 --> 00:17:36.799
Listen, when it comes to things like that, I'm like, if you think that that's best, that's fine.

00:17:36.799 --> 00:17:41.759
But Brocode told me that, like, nah, I don't I don't think we need to be bringing her up there.

00:17:41.839 --> 00:17:43.759
But did you tell her those words?

00:17:43.759 --> 00:17:44.559
I don't remember.

00:17:44.559 --> 00:17:47.839
You should have at least minimum bro code anyway.

00:17:48.480 --> 00:17:50.079
So how uncomfortable was it?

00:17:50.079 --> 00:18:05.759
Like, because whenever he saw us all, like he gets done graduating and he sees us and he's like, you know, overjoyed to see his family, and it's like almost like you and you can see his like eyes going to see like everyone that is with us because we brought his friend Taylor too.

00:18:05.759 --> 00:18:10.079
Oh, yeah, and he's like, Oh, you know, all and then he's like, Shit.

00:18:11.519 --> 00:18:16.880
Yeah, uh, I don't know if you could see it in my face, but I was like, awesome, awesome, awesome.

00:18:16.880 --> 00:18:18.400
What are you doing here?

00:18:18.400 --> 00:18:20.079
What are you doing?

00:18:20.079 --> 00:18:21.519
How did you get here?

00:18:21.519 --> 00:18:26.480
Oh no, how did you cray your way into coming on this trip?

00:18:26.480 --> 00:18:37.519
And it's funny because like I've told that story a bunch of times, and every single time I tell it, I'm like, yeah, she stowed away in my parents' trunk, and that's how she got there.

00:18:37.759 --> 00:18:40.400
Well, I mean, did Taylor know that you didn't want to see her?

00:18:40.400 --> 00:18:42.559
Because Taylor could have given a heads up on it.

00:18:42.559 --> 00:18:45.839
I mean, I didn't talk to literally anyone the whole time I was at Beach.

00:18:45.839 --> 00:18:49.279
Well, you didn't, yeah, you didn't even know that Taylor was coming up there.

00:18:49.359 --> 00:18:51.440
So you even think Taylor would speak up?

00:18:51.440 --> 00:18:54.000
Like, he's such a timid, quiet guy.

00:18:54.240 --> 00:19:00.240
No, he probably wouldn't say anything, but it was funny, and then and then like you never saw her again after that, I'm assuming.

00:19:00.720 --> 00:19:04.799
No, um, I mean, I guess she's never gonna see this.

00:19:04.799 --> 00:19:12.559
So she uh in front of your guys' house took out her false teeth, and on the spot I said, I don't think this is gonna work.

00:19:12.559 --> 00:19:13.519
I'm breaking up with you.

00:19:13.519 --> 00:19:14.480
False teeth?

00:19:14.720 --> 00:19:14.960
What?

00:19:14.960 --> 00:19:16.160
How old is she?

00:19:16.480 --> 00:19:19.759
Same age as me, so probably like 18, 19 at the time.

00:19:19.759 --> 00:19:22.079
Why did she have false teeth?

00:19:22.079 --> 00:19:23.519
I don't know, I didn't ask.

00:19:24.160 --> 00:19:28.640
Well, I mean, people can have false teeth, but yeah, if she was like mething it up or something, yeah.

00:19:28.720 --> 00:19:29.039
No, yeah.

00:19:29.119 --> 00:19:35.279
Like, does she have like if she was mething it up and her teeth fell out, that's one thing, but maybe she had some dental issues.

00:19:36.480 --> 00:19:37.519
I mean, yeah.

00:19:37.680 --> 00:19:39.680
I just think you never were curious.

00:19:39.920 --> 00:19:56.319
Well, no, because like that's not why I broke up with her, but it I'm sure in her mind, because she was like revealed something that was like, I don't know, like she was sensitive or self-conscious about, and then I broke up with her.

00:19:56.319 --> 00:19:58.799
I just can't imagine what that would do to someone.

00:19:58.799 --> 00:20:00.240
They'd be like, oh, great.

00:20:00.240 --> 00:20:01.839
Never showing someone that again.

00:20:03.519 --> 00:20:08.319
And then you got super glued them in, and then you got deployed to Estonia.

00:20:08.319 --> 00:20:08.799
Yeah.

00:20:08.799 --> 00:20:10.559
Did you do anything there?

00:20:10.559 --> 00:20:13.519
Um your normal work.

00:20:13.519 --> 00:20:18.400
I I'm not trying you could well, maybe we don't need to talk about it because I don't want to get you in trouble or anything.

00:20:18.400 --> 00:20:23.759
If I don't want you to be like, no, we didn't do shit, but if you like, you know, did you enjoy your time there?

00:20:24.160 --> 00:20:31.359
Yeah, that was um what I like to tell people that was the most fun I will ever have in my career.

00:20:31.599 --> 00:20:34.400
Isn't it cold and like whatnot snowing all the time?

00:20:34.480 --> 00:20:39.119
Yeah, we ran like nine, ten miles and negative 24 degrees.

00:20:40.000 --> 00:20:41.519
And it was glad I got out of that.

00:20:41.759 --> 00:20:43.680
It was like a foot of snow.

00:20:44.079 --> 00:20:46.160
So well, you can't even run.

00:20:46.160 --> 00:20:47.279
No, no, I can't.

00:20:47.440 --> 00:20:48.400
No, I fucking can't.

00:20:48.640 --> 00:20:50.799
So you can't definitely can't run in the snow.

00:20:51.200 --> 00:20:51.599
Yeah.

00:20:51.599 --> 00:20:55.519
That was that run, it was it was crazy.

00:20:55.519 --> 00:21:07.680
So um our platoon leader and platoon sergeant, which is like the uh NCO and officer that are in charge of our group of people, our team at work, I guess if you want to call it that.

00:21:07.680 --> 00:21:11.359
Um they took us out and this was like a regular thing.

00:21:11.359 --> 00:21:15.680
Like we would run like a nine-mile loop every Monday around this lake.

00:21:15.680 --> 00:21:20.640
And this particular morning, it was negative 24 degrees.

00:21:20.640 --> 00:21:33.039
And um, they were running it relatively quickly, and everyone was like had ice all over their face, just frozen to them, looking like they just came out of like Antarctica.

00:21:33.039 --> 00:21:37.200
Um and like we kept losing people, like they kept falling behind.

00:21:37.200 --> 00:21:45.920
And it was this wasn't a lit path, it was like a pitch black trail going through the middle of the woods around this lake.

00:21:45.920 --> 00:21:51.839
And um and someone was like, guys, we need to stop.

00:21:51.839 --> 00:21:53.920
If we don't stop, we're gonna lose them.

00:21:53.920 --> 00:21:55.920
And they're their exact words.

00:21:55.920 --> 00:21:57.279
We can't stop.

00:21:57.279 --> 00:21:59.519
If we stop, we will die.

00:21:59.519 --> 00:22:04.000
Because we were all soaking wet and covered in like ice.

00:22:04.000 --> 00:22:04.559
Yeah.

00:22:04.880 --> 00:22:06.000
I don't know about all that.

00:22:06.240 --> 00:22:07.359
Yeah, no, thank you.

00:22:08.240 --> 00:22:12.240
Well, yeah, so I don't think I've ever been in that area of the world.

00:22:12.240 --> 00:22:13.920
That's like near Russia, isn't it?

00:22:14.240 --> 00:22:16.480
Yeah, so we were 30 miles away from the border.

00:22:16.640 --> 00:22:17.119
Wow.

00:22:17.440 --> 00:22:28.079
And um, I'm sh they were rumors, but supposedly a couple of times we almost kicked off World War III because like we would do what's called uh deployment readiness exercise.

00:22:28.079 --> 00:22:32.880
So we like pretend we're about to deploy and we like get ready and all that stuff.

00:22:32.880 --> 00:22:39.519
And supposedly we scared the people on the other side of the border multiple times, and then they prepared for us to go over there.

00:22:39.519 --> 00:22:40.640
But what do you do?

00:22:40.960 --> 00:22:41.599
How do you prepare?

00:22:41.599 --> 00:22:43.519
