Oh, man.

Um, today,

today felt like 12 days.

It did.

It did.

It felt like 12 days to me.

I don't know about you, but it
was like the day that never ended.

I'm sorry.

I'm just very distracted.

This thing's very close to my face.

It is.

Okay.

Well there's a reason.

Josh Siri, who I'm doing the
other podcast with, told me.

That the best thing that you can do
for good quality audio is to have the

mic within two inches of your mouth
and kind of like pointed kind of

at the corner of your mouth instead
of like talking directly into it.

Okay, so we're trying, we're
trying it a little closer tonight.

Don't need this.

Plus my face.

I know you like it.

I know you like it a little
further away, but I do.

I feel now we look like, like my.

Personal space is invaded.

And I'm not that it does feel,
it does feel a little bit in,

but like we'll get used to it.

We'll get used to it or you know,
we'll get to the end of this episode

and the audio will not be any better.

I'm gonna, and we'll just go back's
like on your laptop or something.

That would be hilarious.

I did check that before we
started though, so, okay.

Because I'm not gonna rerecord
this if this goes south.

So No, this would be just lost forever.

It would be lost forever.

Um, okay.

But yeah, no, it was a long day.

It was.

It was a Sunday.

Church is hard with littles.

Mm-hmm.

I love church.

Yes.

I love God.

Absolutely.

But going to church as a parent
with a 5-year-old, a three-year

old, and a 1-year-old, just,
its like, it's a tough season.

It's a tough season, that's for sure.

It's a, you don't ever get to hear.

The whole lesson.

Yeah.

Like you each get to take turns
hearing like a fourth of the lesson.

Yeah.

So it's like by the end you may be heard.

And like some, like a, a third of a, a
lesson and there's no such thing as like

getting value out of a third of a sermon.

So yeah, I'd have to be a, a showstopper
of a third, but it would be, it would

be, not to mention that's the times
when I'm like doing something at

services and then you're just like
full parent the whole time For sure is

Then you get nothing out of services.

Yeah.

So.

It's tough.

We had church then lunch, Paul,
and then for some reason Davis

woke up today and chose violence.

He did.

Davis woke up and just screamed all day.

He did.

He was not a happy baby.

He was not.

I'm ready for him to get, I'm
trying to remember if our other

two kids went through this
like phase of screaming at us.

Wilson did.

I remember?

I remember Wilson was
shouty for a little bit.

I don't think Palmer was ever shouty.

Well, no, because she
had her full attention.

You know, it's like a, it's him trying to
navigate being heard as the third child.

Right.

Okay.

And the baby.

And you know, unfortunately, so I think
with the more kids you have, sometimes

you do quick fixes and he knows he
don't just, he doesn't like a quick fix.

Shriek.

Yeah.

He's like, it's a quick thing.

He's like, do I want mommy
and daddy to pay attention to

me and fix what I'm upset at?

Let me just scream at the top of my lungs.

Yeah, in a, he has the
most, it's so shrill.

But you know what's so funny
about him is that during daytime,

he will shriek and yell at you.

Yeah, to get your attention.

But when he's napping Oh yeah.

Which he's like our best sleeper by far
of the three kids, he sleeps like a pro.

Knock on wood.

I hope that continues.

Amen.

I'm sorry I said that out loud.

Don't.

Oh man.

Will.

But what's so funny about him
is that when he get No, no, no.

That's not a point.

It's only if he starts being not a good
sleeper that you throw, write it down.

Okay, we'll check that.

Uh, we'll see if we need to come
back and check that one later.

But.

When he's done with his
nap, he doesn't scream.

Yeah, I mean like Wilson, when Wilson and
Palmer, both when they're done with like.

Time in their room, whether
it was nap or whatever.

I feel like you yelling,
yelling out on a tangent here.

You need to hurry up
and do the Let's do it.

We will.

Okay.

But I'm gonna lay in
this plane real quick.

Okay.

Davis, our most shouty baby
doesn't shout when he wakes up.

No.

He just sits there and hits the
wall, and knocks on the wall.

Just knocks.

Just knock.

Come get me.

Like, Hey, I'm awake.

I'm done.

So polite.

The only time he's ever polite.

That's not true.

That's not true.

We had some good moments with him today.

I did.

You did.

You didn't.

Alright, you can share
after we do this thing.

This is episode.

Oh, we still haven't figured this out.

It's episode 30.

You still haven't been to do that.

This is not on me.

Only we can figure it out together.

It's literally you only this is
either episode 31 or it is episode

three of the No One Asks us podcast.

Oh great.

This is my wife, Ali.

I am Will.

Let's do it.

No,

we had good moments today.

Tell me about your good
moments today with him.

I mean, because I don't.

Remember, just, I mean, I remember
just like neutral moments.

No, we had some good moments, but
what are some, you know, like right

before nap when he was not feeling his
best, oh, you did take him back there?

I take him back to his room and,
you know, gave him his pass.

He snuggled up with him, read some books.

Okay.

We played for a bit that,
but he slept for three hours.

We, we love that.

So we love a three hour nap.

Love that.

Um, I woke him up from the three hour nap.

Right?

'cause I was like, ooh.

You're gonna have to sleep tonight, son.

So, which is so funny.

We always, always wake him up,
but he never has a trouble.

I'm always wake up from a nap
so you don't ruin your evening.

Agreed.

Agreed.

Um, and then is apparently
controversial because it's like

never wake a sleeping baby.

No, you wake a sleeping baby, but
you do wake a sleeping baby if

they're about to hit their daily.

You gotta maximum sleep.

That, or, or they're,
they like fresh babies.

You want 'em to get their calories
in the daytime, not the nighttime.

Also true.

Also true.

I mean, everybody does what
they wanna do, so it's fine.

They do.

But you should take, do
taking care of babies.

Okay.

Anyway, moving on.

But, um, woke him up.

He did wake up kind of grumpy.

You were not here, you were at a meeting.

I was not.

I, our elders and deacons meeting.

Made this day crazier
and longer and forever.

But, um, sounded like everybody woke
up on the wrong side of the bed today,

except for Palmer, who also never sleep.

So she just was, she did slept.

She slept sleep.

Oh, she did, didn't she?

She did.

She fell.

She, I'm so tired.

Tired.

I can't speak.

It's okay.

I'm not tired anytime and
I can't speak anytime.

Um, she did fall asleep.

Okay.

I woke her up because Wilson woke up
and I was like, right, it was three

o'clock and I'm like, I'm gonna wake
the five Palmer, the six yearold up.

Palmer never naps.

So, so like when she does nap, she
always has the worst time at night.

'cause normally she's like tired.

Yeah.

The same time the boys are.

'cause she didn't nap.

Yeah.

But when she naps it's like, oh no.

Oh.

She's like ready to walk rock
for like another she hour.

She needed to sleep, but she did
because we had a crazy weekend.

So we woke up, Davis woke up kind
of grumpy, but then you got home.

There were some fun times where
we were all playing, chasing

the kids around the house.

I, we have like a, uh, I have like
a under desk treadmill and the kids

for some reason think it's the most
exciting thing in the world to walk on.

The slowest speed on the treadmill.

They were, and they were
all getting on their.

Singing.

Hi hoe.

Like the Disney, uh, dwarf song.

Hi hoe.

Hi hoe.

It's a good one.

And marching on it and it was really cute.

Yeah, so you're right.

Okay.

It was cute.

I take it back.

Thank you for reminding me.

Right after we got back from the
golf cart ride, I kind of took Davis

like back to our room and I do not
remember that we just played and

he like fake tackled me and like.

I hugged his mama.

Aw, loved it.

He was just, you know, well, sun time.

I love that.

I did not have those moments.

I'm glad you had 'em today.

They were good.

I had some great Palmer moments.

Palmer's had some great moments.

The child.

Chose violence today.

Wilson.

Wilson.

Yeah.

Wilson.

I am not getting into that.

We're not gonna get into, that's
gonna, um, speaking of Wilson, I think

I need to do our quote of the week.

Oh.

That I have not told you because I
wanna surprise you with this one.

Okay.

I feel like this should
have like, it's like,

oh, like a quota the week, you know,
like a little theme music something.

Yeah, something.

We'll figure it out along with our.

Um, house logo, which
I've still yet to do.

So I have asked and I've asked, okay.

Somebody's company had to get
acquired in all things apparently

that takes the friends, right.

All right.

Quote, quote to the week, and
then we can address that as well.

Okay.

Quote to the week, I
am exercising upstairs.

Okay.

You are at the lake.

Okay.

Yes.

So it's me and the boys and Palmer,
but at this moment it is only Wilson.

Interesting.

So our 1-year-old is just ripping.

Don't know.

Don't know where our one yearold is,
but probably somewhere with Palmer.

We hope.

We hope.

I mean, he's fine.

He's clearly alive today, so, okay.

It couldn't have been that bad.

Well anyway, so me, I am exercising
and when I exercise I usually wear

like either no shirt or a cutoff shirt.

Yep.

Uh, and I'm doing, um,
oh, what are they called?

They're called pullovers.

It's where I'm laying on my back and I'm
doing like this and bringing it back up.

Thank you.

I, it's important.

And you'll see why all
eight of 'em needed to know.

You'll see why.

Okay, so I'm in the middle of one.

Okay.

With like on like set number two of three.

I'm pretty, I'm getting tired
'cause I've been doing my other

exercises and I've got the weight.

All the way back here.

Mm-hmm.

And right as I get to like the back
and I'm about to pull it back up,

Wilson looks over at me and goes,
why does your arm have a beard?

Did you drop it?

I like.

Almost die.

Literally almost like break my arms off.

'cause I like just lose my concentration.

I hope I die and pull.

So I get the weight up.

I do not finish that set.

Like I had to stop immediately
and I just start laughing.

And Wilson's like, no, but really?

Wilson's like, what?

What's so funny?

He's like just looking at me like,
why is there a beard on your arm?

Talking about my armpit hair.

Uh, thank you.

Will, you know, for those who
didn't get it at this point, and

so then I have to explain to our
3-year-old what armpit hair is.

Oh, what'd you say?

I just said, um, when you get
older, you grow hair in your armpit.

Okay.

And Wilson goes just like pulls his
shirt down and goes, I don't have any.

I said, yeah, you're just a
little, like you're just little.

You don't have any yet, but when
you get older you'll have some.

And he just like kind of looks at
me like I'm the weirdest dude ever.

Like, what are you talking about, man?

Like, yeah, beards on your arms and
you're telling me I'm gonna have one.

Like this makes no sense to me.

And I'm just like, and then
he just walks off and I'm just

sitting here just reeling of like.

What just happened?

He just walked up.

That's really funny.

Just about killed me in
the middle of my exercise.

Well, then two days later, you
know, I'm exercising again.

Okay.

And he comes in and he goes, I can't
wait to have a beard on my arm.

So I had to save it.

I felt like this was just too good.

That's pretty good.

That's pretty good.

It was so funny.

It was so funny.

Oh man.

And then another quote of the week.

I think I told you this one, but
I, I'm gonna share it anyway.

Palmer has been like recently
infatuated with a new lovey.

It changes like every couple weeks.

This one changes every hour.

This one she pulled from your mom's
house and it's been like lugging

it around with her everywhere.

Oh, that bear.

That bear, whatever.

Mr. Snuggles Cuddles.

Mr. Cuddles.

Gotcha.

Okay.

But she calls it her snuggle toy.

Is what she calls it.

Okay.

I didn't know that.

She does.

Yes.

And she goes, Mr.

Cuddles is my favorite snuggle toy.

And like we're all walking in, um, this is
still on the same, the same day, um, that

you're gone and we're all walking back
into the house and she just be bopping.

And she goes, he's my
favorite snuggle toy.

And I go.

Oh, Palmer, do you remember what, who,
do you remember who, whose mo who, uh,

whose favorite snuggle toy mommies is?

Or like, do you remember?

Oh, like my childhood kind deal.

Gay.

Right?

That's what I say, but all I say
is like, do you remember what your

mom's favorite snuggle toy is?

'cause we had literally had this
conversation the day before about

the little pig that she seen at
your mom's house that was like

your favorite when you were little.

And she, without skipping a
beat, goes, she goes, duh.

I'm like, oh, great.

She's gonna say it.

You daddy.

No.

And I was like, boom.

Correct.

I am.

In fact, mommy's favorite snuggle to.

Ghost writers.

So I thought those two were pretty funny.

No, that's pretty good.

That's pretty good.

Those were pretty good.

I'm still not over today though.

Um, Wilson was working on his little
preschool readiness binder that I got him.

What a great, and let me tell y'all, he's
been like, y'all need to get one of these

for your kids working on his name, like
matching the letters, like Velcro style.

Mm-hmm.

And we're working on like, what
are the letters in your name?

Right, right, right.

And then he goes, w. I-A-O-A-F-O-N-W dub.

That's so funny.

Just as a little side note,
my mom, um, well my dad calls

Wilson Dub Dub W Dub, right?

My mom from the day he was born.

Maybe a little bit later, but
has always called him Debbie.

And ever since she started like keeping
him, keeping him in like, which was almost

like, it was like what, six months old
Mean, calmer calls something him, Dubby,

everyone calls him Debbie at this point.

Like everybody kind calls him Debbie.

We did not, this did not get
the parent stamp of approval.

It did not before it started getting used.

But if you know him,
he is kind of a Debbie.

He is a Debbie.

He kind of is.

He's a W and so he's just
like W-I-A-L-A-F-O-N-W-W.

That was, that was a good one for today.

That was funny.

That was really funny.

It's too close to me.

It's too close.

You're right.

I've been trying, it helps
me though, 'cause I'm been

less animated with my hands.

Okay.

Because I'm worried about hitting it.

Interesting.

Anyway, all right.

You mentioned I'm gonna address
an elephant in the room.

Um.

Whatcha are talking about?

No.

No.

Okay.

I do deserve this.

Two of them.

You get two?

Mm-hmm.

Okay.

I don't get two.

So I mentioned last time that
we were getting a scoreboard.

We are.

And we in fact, got a scoreboard
we purchased, said scoreboard.

All right.

Here's the issue.

I'm gonna try to fix this in
post-production, but if I don't,

just know that this is a one in
a two currently it's mirrored.

So what we're trying to do
is you don't want points.

Correct?

Correct.

They're de demand points
are basically penalties.

They we're not calling them points.

We're calling them demerits.

Don't call it a demerit.

I don't like that.

Why not?

Why not Ms. King, teacher King?

I'm really sorry about.

Coughing everybody.

Yeah.

Ally's been sick like all week and
I've told her to go to the doctor.

I'm literally, since Monday,
I'm word guess enough.

Guess she hasn't gone to the doctor
and has continued to be stay sick.

Okay.

I'm fine.

I'm not.

Okay.

I'm fine.

I'm just still coughing.

A week later.

You're trying to distract and
deflect from why you just got two?

I don't know.

I So apparently my one is
from accidentally purchasing

police whistles and handcuffs.

It was not an accident.

You knew what you were doing.

It was an accident.

I didn't know that that had it.

But police whistles will.

I made quite possibly one of the
dumbest choices you could make.

As parent, I immediately
recognized my, my issue.

You did not immediately recognize
it because if you had immediately

recognized it, you would've stopped it.

No.

Here's the you.

This is, it was one of those
things where it's like you realize

you just let it happen, right?

You realize it's a bad idea, but it's
already happening, and you decided

to ride the wave instead of stop it.

If you stop it, it's still the same amount
of work than if you just keep going.

There was no work for you.

There.

Oh, I tried.

No, I hosed them off.

Okay.

I tried to hose 'em off.

Pause.

I'm sorry.

And then I went to Home Depot.

Respectfully.

You have to stop because I have to
tell what happened respectfully.

You have to stop.

I'm sorry, as if there's any respect here.

Those are two earned and you knew it.

They are.

I 100% earned two points.

The cottage, which spoiler alert still
isn't done shut and I'm assuming is

paint stage, assuming it's literally
covered in paint, babe, it's primer

and ah, touche will, but it still
gets out there on like a whim.

Like, it's 30 minutes before dinner.

It's, it's not 30 minutes before dinner.

I was like, at least an hour.

Are you gonna stop?

This is your punishment.

Take it 30 minutes before dinner.

It was, my parents are here, we're sitting
out on the patio and we'll just like.

I'm gonna go slap some more primer
on the cottage and all three.

That's enough.

All three of the kids are running around
outside and inevitably when you open.

Paint or primer in this case,
what are they gonna wanna do?

And will's like, yeah, come on and help.

And so only Palmer, I
said that to only Palmer.

I told the other two they could not help.

Okay.

Well the 1-year-old doesn't
understand so the kids help out.

Yeah, that was not a good thing.

Davis starts just like
putting his hands in it.

Palmer's like.

Crazy using the paint roller.

So it's she laddering on over.

Yeah, she's learning to use a
paint roller and it not going well.

Wilson getting in it and I'm looking at
Will and I'm like, really this wasn't

the time I immediately understood
the mistake that was happening.

I had to like go remove David, but
everybody was already covered in paint.

Bring in.

So it's like, let's going.

He was starting to keep paint.

But will just like doubles down
and then was like, well, we're

just gonna keep doing this.

Right?

They're already covered,
so what's the point?

Same amount of cleanup.

Let's just keep painting and get
as much painting done as possible.

No, Palmer was enjoying it.

Palmer was like, wow, I'm
learning to paint with that.

And this is fantastic.

Kids were covered.

Okay.

They were covered.

I literally left.

We came back in and I'm trying to.

I, well, first I try to hose 'em
off and that doesn't work and

none of the paint's coming off.

I'm like scrubbing it, and then
Palmer's like, ow, that hurts.

I'm like, you're right.

I'm scrubbing very hard to
try to get this paint off.

So I go to get, um, stuff Mineral spirit.

Yep.

Mineral spirits to get
the paint off he leaves.

So I, so he leaves me with paint
covered, but I take children, no, no.

I take Davis with me.

Because you knew I take the baby.

It would probably be another point
if you left me with all three.

Correct.

Look, sometimes you gotta try
to take some dubs where you can.

I've got kids covered
in paint Primer, right?

Will has left.

And I've got to try to remove all of this.

And fun fact, if you are ever covered in
paint primer and you can't get it off,

yeah, this was something I didn't know.

I came back, tooth paste.

I came back after going to try and get
something to get paint off of the children

and Ali goes, I already had the paint off.

I'm like, what?

In what world?

How I used toothpaste and a toothbrush?

Who knew?

And just scrubbed the kids.

Just minty and Palmer
thought it was so awesome.

'cause she's, I smell so minty now.

Um, my back was thrown out because
having to binge over the tub, right.

For that.

Mm-hmm.

You can't do this because part of
the point it is also let it be known

that this is the first time that I'm
hearing about her throwing out back.

That is not true.

Pinky, I told you when you came back.

Mm-hmm.

Uhhuh.

Pinky.

Ah, another fine fact.

Fine, fine, fine.

That is our marriage thing.

That is our marriage thing.

The pinky is the one
thing we do not break.

Never, never, ever.

So you need to own up, you know that
those two points were well deserved.

You know that they were, say
it, they're well deserved.

I literally apologized immediately
apart again, like I came in again.

I literally came in with the
kids and was like, I'm so sorry.

Already.

This was a mistake already.

I should not have done this.

I opened my mouth to say
something and you're like, I

already know it was a bad idea.

I knew, I knew I could feel
it while it was happening.

And there's nothing worse than
feeling as a husband when you realize

you are in the middle of doing
something your wife is upset at

you about, but also like you knew.

You knew it was a bad idea.

No, I thought, okay, you.

Your parents had just come over and
the kids were so excited to see, I

thought, oh, they're G and Rags are here.

The kids are gonna be
playing with G and Rags.

No, I can go like, take a quick
30 and get a good chunk of

the, the, the in what world.

Kids are like, oh, babe, well
then I immediately opened the

paint can and they come sprinting.

I'm like, oh no.

Those are deserved.

They are well deserved.

I am now currently losing.

You're losing, but not for long.

Not for long.

Sucker.

I'm gonna live at this one point that's
Uhuh, as if that's also very true though.

Unfortunately she does
not earn a lot of points.

This is gonna be a very embarrassing,
it's because you have to

painfully overthink everything.

I don't painfully overthink everything.

Not me.

Oh.

I was like, I painfully
under think everything.

Exactly.

Making this, oh goodness gracious.

A, this will be really fun.

Penalty system isn't, I'm
sure this will be fun.

I'm sure I'll find a way to add
some more points to your scoreboard.

I might have to get creative with what
you get dinged on, you know, like a

handicap when you're paying golf, playing
golf where it's like, clearly this says

again, this wouldn't even be fun because
of how many points I'd be earning.

So we've got to like
add a little handicap.

No.

We'll see.

It just is what it is.

It might be, I'm sorry.

We'll just see how it plays out.

Don't ever paint with all three of the
kids like that Again, do that watercolors.

Fun paint.

Never use real paint.

Don't use kills.

Primer kills, kills two indoor
outdoor kills Our afternoon.

Well played, my Lord.

Thank you.

Um, okay.

There is.

We have big news to share.

We have two things that are big news.

One that's like big family
news and one that is also big

family news, but like different.

Let's see.

You can do like your,
your news, your big news.

We'll do my big news 'cause I would like
to end on the like more exciting Yeah.

For family news for sure.

So.

My company was acquired on Monday.

I was taking a glorious nap pa. Uh, yeah.

And Will walks in.

Ali was taking a glorious nap.

I did not even, we were at the doctor
that morning, and so I get back

after we were at the doctor and.

I'm like heads down working to
like get a project done, not paying

attention to anything, just be bopping
in cursor and I get a text message.

I'm not paying attention to anything,
like I'm not paying attention to anything

that should be on a shirt for you.

I'm not, I'm probably
not paying attention.

That's my hat.

Sorry about my husband.

I'm probably not paying attention.

I'm not paying attention to anything.

That's be really good.

We're gonna find a way to get that.

Um.

And my boss texts me, which
like never happens, like per

like SMS, like on my phone.

Personal text message.

Mm-hmm.

And so I get a message
that's like, Hey, you around.

And anytime you get a text message
from your boss that's like, Hey, you

around on like your personal phone.

It's like, oh shoot.

Like something's up.

Mm-hmm.

Never happens.

And he sends me a link and
he is like, get on this call.

And I get on the call and before
it's like, it's Google Meet.

And before you get into a Google meet,
you can see everyone who's already there.

And it's my entire team,
plus my two bosses.

And I'm like, for a
second I'm like, hold up.

Am I getting fired right now?

Because I'm like, like, ah, like
unplanned, unscheduled meeting.

Yeah.

And I get into the meeting and everybody's
quiet, so I'm like, oh yeah, I'm

definitely getting fired right now.

I don't know why we don't fire
you in front of all these people.

I don't know.

Now she just said real bad.

Exactly.

Who knows?

So I don't know, like you just immediately
jump to the worst conclusion In a

weird situation like that, I feel that.

And so I'm just sitting there and like
Craig's just looking around, so, and is

like, so does anybody have any questions?

I'm like, about what?

Like, what is going on?

And Craig just looks at like, can
see me in the, the video chat looking

very confused and goes, will you
haven't checked your email, have you.

And I'm like, no.

Like I've been very heads,
like I don't ever check my

email during like the workday.

I do it at like the beginning and the end.

And he was like, please
go check your email.

And like in the email sent an
hour and a half ago was like the

acquisition announcement that
everybody had already known.

And so I'm just like the last one
to find out in this meeting, which

is like the most classic me thing,
it's the most wil king thing.

It is the most wil king thing.

So that happened, which
just through my entire week.

Into like, I just immediately
like had the weirdest week

because I said props to Will.

He was in the middle of typing a tweet.

I, I almost tweeted it immediately, like
while it was going on and then had some

self-reflection and was like, wait, I
should probably tell my wife first Alley

go to tell my wife and she's asleep.

I'm Don.

News deserve.

Ive got like some super exciting news.

All the kids were asleep, all the
kids were asleep, Ali's asleep.

And I'm just sitting here with like
our, my entire career just changed.

Like I basically got a new job.

Mean it did Okay.

I'm, I have to like go
through like new onboarding.

I got a new like work laptop.

Yeah.

I've got, apparently tomorrow I've
got a meeting, a set of meetings

that start at 8:00 AM and don't end
until 7:00 PM so that's fun anyway.

I'm exciting.

It's exciting.

It's super, it feels really good to
have the company, like the product

that I've been working on get acquired.

I. Because like we were successful,
like we were profitable in

growing and we were fine.

We could have been fine
never getting acquired.

Mm-hmm.

And then a company who is also extremely
successful doing well right now, the

company Snowflake, like acquired us,
which is like usually, not usually it's

like a really successful company is like.

Taking advantage of like a company
not doing well to acquire their

technology or like the parent company
is like stalled out and is needing

some way to like, get more growth.

So they acquire some like new company
'cause they have money or something.

But this was like, both companies
are like doing really well.

So it's like a really
exciting acquisition.

Uh, and like I, I'm
like the only designer.

There.

So it, it's like part of the value
scene in the product is obviously

actually all the database stuff.

Mm-hmm.

But like what people see is the
actual app, which was like 90% of

my work, which feels really good
that that was like something people

saw and we're like, we need this.

Do you need a firework right now?

Thank you.

You're so welcome, Ms. King.

You're so welcome.

That was very rewarding.

So it'll, it'll be interesting.

I'm excited to see what,
what this looks like.

It's my first time working in a very
big company, so I'm sure a lot of

changes and adjustments to be made.

I am a very.

Very loosey goosey, startupy kind of guy.

So I think I'm going to have some
interesting transitions at work.

That'll be great.

But we'll find out.

Woo.

We'll find out, and y'all
will get to find out with us.

So anyway, that's,
that's my exciting news.

But on a more exciting note than that.

Palmer lost her first tooth.

Palmer lost her first tooth.

It has been so wiggly.

It has.

And she pulled it herself.

She did like on her own, which
she was so nervous about.

But Ally, this is such a
selfish thing as a mom.

This was hilarious.

Ally, was this the, the day that we
mentioned a few times at this point

where Ali was gone, she went to the
lake with like her teacher friends.

Extremely well deserved.

They all deserve like multiple days off.

But so I'm watching the kids
that day and the night before.

Her tooth is like.

About to come out, but, but she's
feeling like it's barely hanging on.

She's feeling super nervous.

Like Palmer's, like, I don't wanna do it.

I don't really, I don't wanna pull it.

It's gonna hurt.

Uh, and like, me and Ally just
keep taking turns being like, oh,

what if you tried to, to do this?

Tried, like, what if you, when I, and
selfishly when I was little, I turned it

this way, you know, like, and selfishly,
I was not gonna let her lose that tooth.

When I was gone.

Yeah.

That would've been, it
would've wrecked me.

Also, we don't want our kids
to be like losing their first

tooth when Will's the only one.

Yeah.

In charge with three children.

Yeah.

That tooth would've gotten
lost before the night happened.

Exactly, and we would've had like a
real bad first two s would've been,

situation would've been one plus three.

Another point.

Yeah.

100% more points for me, but.

So was, so I was like,
yes, please lose it.

Now before it, my responsibility,
it was after bath times and I

looked at Will and I was like,
that tooth's coming out tonight.

Yeah.

Ally was like, and he was like,
okay, so, so just, so we just

kind of kept coaching her.

Coaching.

Well, what's funny is like,
normally at bedtimes we're

like, all right, bath's over.

Everybody gets a jammies on get
dressed, everybody get in bed.

Goodnight.

Love you.

Like done.

No.

And then like, this was
like the longest bedtime.

We kept dragging it out, trying to
get her to like work on her tooth.

So she, she liked us really well
if you're kind of around, but

then make her feel like she's got
space and she's being independent.

And so I'm like, oh, okay.

Like, we'll walk by her room.

I'm like, how you doing?

Are you wiggling it good?

Did you try twisting it to the left?

Yeah.

What about to the right?

And so I walked past her room and so she's
standing at her mirror and she's like.

Wiggling it.

And then she's like, oh mom.

I'm like, yeah, honey.

And I come in and it's like,
you know how like when you're

two star, barely hang out?

If you remember, it's like.

One part of your, like
you have like two roots.

Yeah.

And so you feel you have one root
out and it's just wiggling on one

and it's just, it hit that stage.

It like her mouth is pouring blood.

This, and there's like blood and
she's like freaking out and she's

like, I look at her and I say, now
we're getting rid of this girl.

Do it now.

One more twist and it's out.

Yep.

And she did.

She did it.

And she, I've never seen her so
excited, so proud of herself.

She was and excited.

And, um, the teeth fair came to visit.

Which, which, all right, I'm
gonna let let the people decide

if this should be a point.

What do you mean?

If this should be a point you introduced?

No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

Any fine.

No points, but no points.

Because any who?

Hang on.

Hang on here.

No.

You are gonna have to stop and
you're not gonna interrupt.

We have to talk about something
you were trying to do.

No.

So tooth fairy.

And so we're having the conversation of
like, I'm not in the room at this point.

I'm, where do we wanna put the tooth?

You know, like, uh, to me it's up to her
if she wants the tooth fairy to come.

The tooth.

Once the tooth, once the tooth popped
out, I was trying to put the boys down.

So I'm like nowhere to
be seen at this point.

Getting the boys down.

It's just, it's just Ali
and Palmer Chitty chatting.

Am I good?

You're good.

Go ahead.

Interesting.

Okay.

So, but, uh, I knew this was gonna happen.

Um, we're having the conversation of
like, where do you wanna put the tooth?

Do you want the tooth fairy
to come into your room?

Mm-hmm.

Mm-hmm.

Um, the tooth was in a bag.

She wanted to write the tooth area a note.

Mm-hmm.

And so she did that and, um, she
was like, you know, mom, I. I think

I wanna put it on the front porch.

I was like, wonderful.

Asking your kid, do you want the
tooth fair to come into your room?

Never thought that that was like
something you asked your kids.

I always just always assumed
it goes under the pillow.

'cause that's the way it goes.

No, but like, so I'm saying
you're having good idea.

Putting that thought in her head
that it doesn't have to go in there.

I was like, they can go outside your door.

You can go wherever you want it to go.

Well, she decides, I wanna
put it by the front, on the

front porch, by the front door.

And I was like, that's.

Wonderful.

Fantastic, wonderful.

We don't have to try to sneak in some
room and so we come put it under a pillow.

Can you hush for just a minute?

I'm just ex no talking about how excited
I am about how great idea it was.

Interesting because we come to
tell Will and Will's like, Hmm,

I don't think that's a good idea.

No, no, no.

Yes.

That is a misrepresentation.

That is not a misrepresentation.

It is a misrepresentation.

You said, I thought putting
out there was a great idea.

And then Palmer says, I said,
oh, that's such a great idea.

We should put it out there.

That'll make it so easy for the
tooth fairy to get your tooth.

And then Palmer was like, oh yeah.

And then she'll leave my.

You know, like, leave
my surprises out there.

Yeah.

I was like, yeah.

Or you know, the tooth fairy might bring
the surprise inside and then Palmer

gets the look of panic on her face.

Like, well, Palmer goes, wait, why would
the tooth fairy need to come inside?

And I'm sitting know, as a
dad, we live in Montgomery.

Montgomery is not, let's
be real Montgomerys.

Not the safest are fine.

We're fine.

Well, I'm just thinking.

I've had her prepped.

We've had, we've had, she
was putting it on the porch.

There are people who literally
walk around and check people's

cars in our neighborhood.

Beside the point, but nobody
come, not beside the point.

It's important context for the people.

No, please come to the house.

Like, because I'm not overreacting
here when I say this will, so I

suggest maybe we could do like
maybe the tooth fairy comes inside.

Who knows?

We'll find out in the morning.

Like I'm trying to be all like,
maybe like, oh no, I had perfectly

prepped her for front porch.

Drop off.

Pick up.

Yeah, pick up.

Because why?

What's better than just leaving
money on your front porch?

Okay, well, will says somebody
might take it, which of course like

they might, in our neighborhood,
it is perfectly possible.

Our daughter, for someone to take it
who knows no evil, just like her world

has been shattered and goes, why would
somebody, why would somebody take it?

Ali just goes.

Thank you for introducing
robbery to our daughter.

So Palmer Nows knows that people
could steal things from your home,

and I'm like, thank you Will.

Literally, this doesn't
even need to involve you.

I had it figured out.

It was the front porch.

It, we were golden.

There was no sneaking into a room.

Oh my goodness.

None of it just didn't even cross my
mind that that's what I was like, like.

Oh, well, why would he?

Oh yeah.

I guess come, doesn't
really know what robbery is.

I take it and I'm like,
nobody's coming to the house.

Everything is fine.

Then we immediate.

Yeah, I'm like immediately, once
again, have to go into damage control.

I'm like, oh yeah.

Like, I don't know.

Who knows?

It was bad.

I wish I could give you a point for it.

I won't to, but I won't.

We say I to, we salvaged
it if it had turned worse.

No.

Well, the reason I don't
deserve a point is because.

Creepy reon over here.

Me is like, I want to save all
of our children's teeth in a bag.

Okay.

No ma'am.

A little box or no?

Okay.

Even worse, the box, like a creepy
little box of kids children's teeth.

I didn't say that's like
something out their teeth.

That's something out of like a law
and order episode, least their first.

Mm. There is something that is fine.

You were so attached to, but you didn't
say at least their first, you didn't say

that until I pushed back about how creepy
it was to keep your children's teeth.

You were getting ready to throw it away.

I was not gonna throw the tooth away.

You were gonna throw it away.

I didn't have, I had not made
any decisions about what I

was gonna do with the tooth.

You would've thrown it away.

But you said, let's keep, can we like
make, what if we just keep the first one?

I was like.

Fine.

A singular kid's tooth, but there's still,
I don't know, maybe that's even creepier.

I know definitely keeping the full
mouthful is the creepiest, but like

to be determined, Jerry's still out.

If I keep more, which, hello?

Her mom literally still has all of
their children's teeth, which is creepy.

I just can't get rid of it.

I can't.

You're so creepy.

That's messed up.

That's not, that's weird, dude.

It's not.

That's so weird.

A lot of people do.

We can let the, we can
let the audience decide.

Is it creepy to keep all your
children's baby teeth can chime in?

Once again, it's one tooth that right at,
at the moment, it's more than any people.

At this point.

I feel like we've at least got 12.

Oh, we're growing babe.

Big time.

Big time.

We're hitting the big leagues.

Double digis.

Double double digs.

But any who?

It was so fun.

It was so fun.

It was, I don't know, ally
went over, we could go over

the top because it was outside.

So Ally and I say we, the royal we,
because this was all Ally's idea.

I just went along with it.

I then had to go to the
grocery store at like.

Eight 30 at night because Ali thought,
well I, this is what I wanna do.

She had already purchased a bracelet
knowing the tooth was wiggly.

That said brave, which is awesome 'cause
she was like, I want Palmer to like

think the tooth berry is like saying how
brave she was for losing her first tooth.

It's a very nerve wracking thing.

Yeah.

For her, she handled it like a pro.

Great idea.

Brave bracelet.

All in $5, first tooth.

Feels reasonable.

Probably gonna break it down to like,
you know, $2 for all subsequent teeth.

Molars may be a little more
for size, but we'll get there.

But five is not going to be the standard
price here felt right for a first tooth.

Then Ali's like, all right, the tooth
fairy needs to write her a note.

Okay.

Which I wrote.

Understandable.

You don't have write 'em.

Totally fine.

You write notes for
literally every holiday.

Easter Bunny, Santa Claus.

I think Saint Patty even
wrote a note one time.

It was like a I do.

We don't have an elf, but yeah, we're
never having an elf on the shelf.

I know stump not happen.

I'm getting into that right now.

Anyway, and then Ali's like.

You need to get some flowers.

I'm like, oh my goodness.

How many things is the tooth fairy,
this tiny little tooth fairy supposed

to be carrying to Palmer's house?

She's magic.

Anyway, and then she's like, and if
you could find some glitter, I'd love

to make like a little glitter trail
for the tooth fairy leading up to the,

and she literally stages all of this.

On our front door and like has a
trail of glitter leading off onto

like our front, like front yard.

And I'm just like, this
is so over the top.

This is the most Ali King thing
I've ever seen in my entire life.

And of course, guess who
woke up and ate it up?

She was so who loved every bit of it.

So excited.

Palmer loved it.

She, it was fantastic.

You're an awesome mom.

Well, you should get like a
negative point for that one.

So imagine.

But we don't get negative points.

That ain't happening.

You can't take away, okay.

Nope.

Well, I don't know.

Maybe It depends.

It was so fun.

We'll see if I have a a time
where I can get a negative point,

then we'll start considering.

But it was just really fun.

That's another big milestone.

It is a big milestone and it's
fun getting to do those things

as together as parents, but also.

They work so hard for their teeth.

There's, there is something, the
teething and then now that she's losing

'em and like, that was really funny.

We said, we worked so hard for every
single one of those teeth and now

they're just falling out of her.

I'm like, dang, you were
grouchy and teething and

yeah, she was not a happy cro.

She was our other kids, I don't
even think they had a problem with

teething, but Palmer was mean.

She, it wasn't great, but I don't know.

Now she has like a, a
little toothless smile.

And also true.

She looks older.

She's about to be six.

It's just, it's crazy.

She's big.

She's big, she's big girl old.

We're gonna blink and
she's gonna be graduating.

Don't do this to me right now.

Goal make you cry on the podcast.

Don't do it.

I'm too tired.

It won't, it won't be that hard.

It really wouldn't be.

But anyway, you know.

Oh, anything else on your mind?

Allison?

I have one more topic here, but I'm tired.

I don't think we need to worry about it.

It's another big topic we
can talk about another time.

I got nothing other than

let's just, do we have anything
going on this next week?

Are you joking?

That's a joke.

If you ever, I know that's a joke.

If you ever wanna trigger Ali,
just wait until she's told you

the full schedule for the week.

And then be likes.

Do we have anything going
on this week in the kitchen?

Oh, she gets so mad.

Oh, we got soccer camp this week.

I keep a detailed calendar.

Palmer has soccer camp.

Both kids have dentist
appointments on Tuesday.

Somebody's got doctor's appointment.

Will Davis has a doctor's
appointment on Thursday taking

the kids all day tomorrow morning.

You're taking the kids all day tomorrow?

'cause of my marathon of it meetings.

What meeting Marathon Monday.

Meeting Marathon.

Ooh, good alliteration, my lady.

Thank you.

My Lord.

That sounds like a good place to end.

Peace.
