So guys, I have spent the last three years talking to you about social issues and culture and politics.

And apparently the only thing that I actually needed to do to capture your attention was to talk about car troubles

and to tell you insane stories from my life because based on all the comments, that was the thing that you enjoyed most from that episode.

And the good thing is, is that that happens all the time. Our life is genuinely crazy.

And so I thought today we could do part two of story time with Brett.

So what I need to fill you in on today is my mom moving to Tennessee. And if you guys have

followed me for a while, you know that this has been in the works for like 16 months.

Basically, like my mom came to our wedding and that weekend, she went and door knocked all around us in the neighboring, you know, areas and was basically just like, will anybody sell me, you know, your house? I want to live in this area and be close to my kid. And she ended up buying a house and we were all so excited. So she went back to Idaho and got her farm ready to be put on the market and all hell broke loose. Basically, the market exploded in a terrible way. She was not able to sell her farm back in the fall. It was like in escrow and then it fell out of escrow because the people who were buying it decided that they wanted a divorce and they like could not live together. Then it went into escrow again and the people didn't actually have the money. So she was like, screw it. I'm taking it off the market for the

holidays. I'll just try to get to you this summer. Well, lo and behold, at the end of December, I say, hey, mom, I'm pregnant. She freaks out and she's like, oh my God, I have to get here. I have to get here before this baby comes.

So she lists the house in the spring.

She finally gets it under contract, and then lo and behold, it falls out of escrow yet again.

So I'm just giving house in the spring. She finally gets it under contract and then lo and behold,

it falls out of escrow yet again. Which is giving you guys the context of this. This has literally

been like a 16 month journey of her like trying to get here, trying to be the world's best

mom to support her daughter and be near her daughter and her son-in-law, all of these things,

be near her grandchild. My brother also lives on this side of the country, so she'll be closer to him as well. Anyway, all of this has been going on for six months. She gets the house back in escrow. There was a problem with the lender, so the move is starting. And I think you guys know, she had already shipped us some of her cows, because this is not just like a normal move. Now, my mom never really does normal moves because she has moved cross country about a million times. Like she went from Oklahoma to Atlanta as a kid and then up to New York and then all the way over to Newport Beach, California. And then she and my dad were like, let's move to an island in like the most northern part of America before you get to Alaska. Let's go to Washington. And then she's like, actually,

let's go to Tennessee. Let's go back to California. Let's go to Idaho. Now we're coming back to

Tennessee. Even though that is all insane, now it's even crazier because she's moving like 50 plus

farm animals in addition to 65 years of life. So that is why she had sent us some of her cows

and the mules a month in advance, a bunch of birds. But now the real move of life. So that is why she had sent us some of her cows and the mules a month in

advance, a bunch of birds, but now the real move was happening. So while Alex and I were in Texas

finishing up the last leg of my tour and we were stranded on I-35, all of that, my mom was going
