The Hey everybody. Welcome to a new episode of NMR. I'm your mother, John Thrasher, here with your father, Darren.

Why are you speaking like that? I'm your mother, John Grasher.

I think I'm distracting myself from the very first topic that I've really honest.

I have honestly stopped myself.

Let me get my microphone, right, from reacting any further than I already have with you, because I do think we owe it to

the children to discuss everything that happened. So why don't you set us up since you're the

culprit? So, spoiler alert for anyone out there who's not following on Instagram, I played pickleball

for the first time on Saturday.

You can tell the contempt in mother's voice.

Let me just say before you even begin further.

Your hand is raised in the Zoom.

Your hand is raised in the Zoom.

Okay.

Something just happened.

Whenever I raised my hand, the Zoom also raised my hand and then moved me. Doesn't work it for me. Try it. Maybe because I'm not the leader. I guess not. I think I might have that. God.

So I was like, Nidem was like, I'll order us equipment, you know, because we only have ping pong paddles or whatever. And you can't use that. Although in theory, you could. Well, that's like saying you could use a bat in tennis. Like you just wouldn't do that. You wouldn't do that. Yeah. Like, you could if I had to have a makeshift thing, but it wouldn't be right.

Sure. you could use a bat in tennis. Like you just wouldn't do that. You wouldn't do that. Yeah. Like you could if I had to have a makeshift thing, but it wouldn't be right. So Nadeen
