| 0:00.0 | Okay, I'm going to apologize because I feel like this might be awful. |
| 0:09.1 | I'm so hungover. |
| 0:11.4 | I don't know how, but I can barely, I could barely function this morning trying to get my kids |
| 0:17.8 | to school. |
| 0:18.5 | I got them there, but it was a massive struggle. |
| 0:22.3 | And I'm like legit, a little shaky. So this podcast might not be great. |
| 0:28.3 | Gonna do my best. Yesterday was awesome. We started the day with flag football and we won our game |
| 0:35.2 | there, which was a great little start to the day. My kids continue to need a |
| 0:40.8 | lot of work, but the other kids on the team carried the team and we won. And it was so fun. |
| 0:48.8 | But right after we had to really rush out because to try and make the 1 o'clock, 125 kickoff was going to be tight. So we came home, tried real quick, got everyone in the car.

| 1:29.6 | So I said, okay, let's do it. |
| 1:33.0 | They'll probably continue to come to the games from here on out because they really, |
| 1:36.8 | they did a great job and they were just great. |
| 1:48.0 | One thing on that, real quick, I don't let my kids use iPads except for in two scenarios on a flight and not a football game. |
| 1:49.7 | That saved me. |
| 1:50.6 | That saved us. So they get so excited to get on a flight, which is great because then I don't have to deal with them screaming at everybody or screaming at me on the flight, and they get to use their iPad. |
| 2:01.8 | So they get super excited and I don't hear from them for four hours, which I know that's |
