The Loser Ladies!
0:00 We're back it's been a few weeks since I've put one of these episodes out we were intending to do this a little bit before I went to Chicago and I'm sure you Guys also did things over the course of
0:11 the fourth of July weekend but this is an important one and I Am so excited that you Guys have listened to this podcast despite probably not wanting to always listen to your dad but you know I get it
0:24 listen to your dad on the podcast listener he and I wrap around a little bit and then come on today and and be willing to share some stories so this is a special episode Morgan Aaron and Logan Loeser
0:39 what we typically do here on tripping over the barrel is Everybody's going to introduce themselves kind of tell us your story and then in this case you don't want to want to get into the relationship
0:48 you have with your father some of the funny stories will make fun of them you know let's just have a good time so starting with that Morgan you're the oldest you already have a grandson Watson I
0:59 believe Yes, yes, and I can now say another one on the way. Oh, congratulations. Oh, yes, yay, yes.
1:09 Look, Aaron was gonna explode 'cause they knew the secret and Aaron was gonna have to lose it over there. Do you know the sex? No, no, we learned with the second one we don't need to find out
1:22 that early 'cause we don't care that much. I mean, we care, but, you know, this is not that important We got other stuff to do this time. So, yeah, I'm the oldest, my story. I don't know if
1:35 you want that. Yeah, definitely. But a lot of tim and me go on forever.
1:40 So, I mean, the oldest, arguably the loudest, the funniest. But, you know,
1:52 we've got a lot of dad stories is he 'cause the easy person I have stories about And we did a lot of stuff together.
1:60 I feel like you're like, what, 24, 25 years old? 24, yep. 24. About to turn 25. Well, exciting time in your life, certainly starting a family. What about professionally? Did you go to AM?
2:13 Like, what was your path to where you're at today? No, no, much to my parents dismay. I went to the University of Arkansas, which my dad said was fine, since at least I stayed in
2:26 the SEC. And then I decided I wanted to be a nurse and my dad said, you know, we're not paying that much money for you to keep changing your mind. I am home and went to nursing school. And now
2:39 I'm a nurse, an ER nurse. So. Living in Houston.
2:45 Now I live in the middle of nowhere called I-D-S, Texas, which is quite a big chorea, which they call the crossroads, 'cause it's like two hours from Houston, two hours from Corpus, two hours
2:58 from San Antonio. I live in the crossroads.
3:03 So you don't really, I live in the middle of nowhere. The town I live in has a population of a thousand people. Is it just extremely hot there? Yes. Yeah.
3:15 It's my only issue with Texas. And I've said it on this podcast before too. I never got a good clean answer out of Tim because Tim like also understood just how brutally hot it is and was in Houston.
3:27 Like I always could have seen him living in a place like here Just the way he'd like rave about it when it would snow and get cold. He's like, yeah, that's, that's. I couldn't, I could never.
3:36 But you guys all stay south. You guys all stay south. Yeah, I could never understand. The man loved the cold, how they ended up. I mean, I know how they ended up here, but how they stayed here,
3:45 I'll never know. Cause he loves the cold, but fun fact, my mother is allergic to a cold. So I was up like a blowfish. Yeah, I'm not going to work out very well. There's weird looser family
3:56 stories. I was aware of that. him tried to tell me a story I don't want to hear it and make sense. He also claimed that he didn't vomit for like 32 years or something like that. Did you know this?
4:07 Yeah, he's right. A few months ago, he was very good. I was in a rough street. Once I started having a lot of problems that he was,
4:16 he was very upset about it. He was like, I just almost made it. I was like, to what? I mean, who counts that and I was made it like that.
4:29 So proud of himself. No, he spoke about it with a sense of pride. And I think we wanted to talk about it, but we never quite did. But it still hasn't fully sunk in that it was like a 32 33 year
4:41 streak. Because that's just not, I don't understand. And the last time he would have told you was a drunken night. There we go. He made himself throw up. So it might not have actually counted
4:53 that counts. We he and I talked about that definitely still counts. Like it's you still grew up. Yeah anyways Morgan will come back we got a million Tim story's not Aaron you are a twenty two year
5:08 old Aggie if I'm correct almost yes so tell us your store also I believe the incident number that you have to do something with why don't you toss a twenty two but did I make that I'm in the class of
5:23 twenty twenty three the closet twenty twenty three I AM but I just started my masters three weeks ago so I will be actually graduated in may of two thousand and twenty four with a combined master's
5:36 and bachelor's in athletic training and then I'll go to PT school after that
5:43 well that's cool so to we've got a nurse and a physical therapist yup alright okay interesting so where are you living at today are you in Houston are you in Texas where You're At I'm in college
5:60 station most of the time. I've got an apartment here in college station and then I kind of commute back and forth some weekends back home just depending on my schedule. Do you go to Yale practice?
6:15 Oh, that's a must. I am actually working with the football team this fall during games and practices. That's good. So I'll be on the sidelines Let's go Aggies, we'll get back to that. But I just
6:32 want to get to the phrase Yale practice. Okay, so I saw the videos of Yale practice. Now, I don't know if it was ever referred to as Yale practice on ESPN or whatever when they showed it. But
6:44 this would be the point in the show where I would go, Tim, let's Yale practice. Someone ask you, what's Yale practice? It is a big deal We have midnight yell before every football game. Um, and
6:59 it is at midnight the night before our big games. Uh, and we all gather in the one side. Regardless of what time.
7:10 What? Wow. So regardless of what time the game is, even if the game's at noon, you still go at midnight, 12 hours before the game. Yes. Presumably maybe imbibing and yelling, practicing your
7:25 cheers. Yes We got to practice our yell so that we can all know the signals for the game. Show the amazing and then you get up the next day and you tailgate, you go. Yeah, the easiest one is this
7:38 one, though. This one's the one you've probably most people have heard before. You go this way and then you go backwards and then forward. That one is farmer's fight. Well, we are farmers.
7:48 We're an agricultural school, so we will fight.
7:53 Not quite how it goes, but yeah. No, it goes a little bit more like this, but we don't need to get my Texas X sense out there, but might be slow it down and go Arkansas and
8:03 Logan Loser, double L's, L, L, cool, L.
8:10 I, you know, I was always curious about you because Tim, well, I guess to go back to, you know, this is my podcast. So it's about me. That's, you know, the important part. We have to
8:19 recognize that, right? Tim, recognize that too. It's about him too You are the youngest. Yes. I remember talking to Tim about this maybe 10 years ago. So I have three kids. I have two
8:33 daughters and a son, 12 for, sorry, 12, 10 and four. So we have the two close together. So like in my time knowing Tim, I just have my first and my wife was about to have the second. So we
8:45 really got to know each other sort of as like fathers. And I looked to him for information 'cause like there's no manual There's no school on that. And he already had you, he already had three.
8:57 And I asked him a lot of questions, like how do you do a financial aid? And he's like, I don't know, right? But in general, like we had a third, and it was many years later. And now I can, I
9:08 think that's a connection that Tim and I can, you know, had bonded over. But I'm curious for you sort of growing up as the baby. Like what has it been like for you when your parents had probably
9:19 gotten all their like aggro, family, like you teach eggs and patterns and management out of their system and let you just go climb around and hang out with blossoms. What was it like for you? No,
9:31 literally they let her play in the street. Like for real, they couldn't find her one day and she was like, actually in the street. I remember this story and I was like, I don't believe you, Tim.
9:39 'Cause like my daughter would walk like half a step. Probably like Watson. Like, oh,
9:45 but for you, you were more free. So talk about what it was like for you growing up as the baby.
9:53 well there are definitely a lot of things that I'm probably got that they didn't and sure that Morgan was probably quite mad about it cause like the fun of it we had to wait until we were thirteen to
10:09 get a phone and I got it when I turned twelve instead oH
10:15 by the Way I made a power point presentation for why I needed a phone at thirteen and they gave and because I made the PowerPoint presentation and then she just got one at twelve
10:27 I was given one
10:32 No rock in the boat. So, where are you at today? You're actually on a mission trip, right, through the church. Yes, I am. I'm through Faithy and I Methodist Church. We do a mission trip every
10:47 year. We love it, and Dad was always with us. So everyone's kind of missing him right now here. So we've definitely talked a lot about him, told a lot of fun, Tim stories We actually went out to
11:01 a work site today. They wanted me to come out with them, because they've been playing, quote, Tim games
11:11 Yeah, that's, you know, I didn't know about this as much and maybe he was just more private with certain things, but I didn't realize how tight of a tie you guys all have had to the church. It
11:24 seemed like a really beautiful group and, you know, a really nice, nice church where it sounds like he gave like a decent bit of time. I guess he was just always so responsive to me on email,
11:37 text, phone and all that stuff that I didn't notice it, but he was probably giving a lot and it seems like that's something that's been passed on to you. So Logan, when you're on these missions,
11:48 like, what is, what do you do? What are your days look like?
11:53 So some of the things that we do here are, so right now I'm with safety. So we go around giving the teams that are working, Gatorades and water and stuff And
12:06 what my dad would do is he was a work team adult with the youth. and they do they built porches and ramps for people that are in need of a home
12:18 yeah the and that's the I'm going to drop it for sure in the linked to this one fort bend Ramps again I wish Tim was a little bit louder about this stuff but he was never really somebody that asked
12:30 for things but now that I see and even amongst my clients and friends are spending outpouring of donations to that group and it's nice to know that you're carrying on that tradition as well but that's
12:42 something that Yeah in the last like couple months I realized that he seemed to have a work life balance like Nobody I know I mean he everybody talks about how hard he worked and I read the other two
12:59 now that we would always wonder how does he get anything done at work because he's always like he was always up there like playing games and like calling about weird I was like, I don't know how he
13:11 is ever working and yeah answering the literally. I called that man until the Monday He came home on hospice. I called him every day probably twice a day likely to tell him nothing important And it
13:25 will I can't imagine because I know the other two did it too, and I know my mother called him I cannot imagine how he got work done for the life of me and everyone talks about how good he was at his
13:36 job And I'm like wow man, so let me
13:45 give a little bit of reflection on that because it is a really Insightful comment. I think me and even your dad to an extent grew up in generations where it's like You are a teacher. You're a doctor.
13:58 You're a lawyer. You're in the military You know whatever like it's you're a businessman like you just sort of have an identity And I think Tim actually represents More of what happens like now where
14:10 he's like truly more about like human connection first which is part of why he and I really got along and why I think he's done well in business is because people generally do like if all things are
14:21 equal in business like you'll just do business with people that you like and that you trust a little bit more right and and tim like really kind of check those boxes so yeah he didn't necessarily have
14:34 to like grind like a while he went in at six am and he left at Niamh and he wore suits that's not him but now he still like did those long overnight trips and would go to the Middle East and he'd
14:47 always be on time to call so it's just the little things and being consistent and I think he set a good example is for me and from a business standpoint like how to be a a working dad and also be able
15:01 to disconnect because that's what matters like you guys went to all fifty states together And I still deal with this. Like, this is a challenge and you guys will deal with it too. Like, we're all
15:15 addicted to our devices, right? And then it becomes more challenging to disconnect. And somebody needs me for this and if I can't do it. Most devices weren't allowed on our 50 States.
15:26 Oh, no. Oh, really? No electronics. No electronics. See, there you go. No, we would be - There's a lot of togetherness. We'd be stuck in Mill Nowhere, Oklahoma, go into the action figure
15:38 museum, which I don't remember where exactly it is, but it is in Oklahoma. No cell phone, which I probably was like 15 at a time, thought I was having a knife and a heart. Okay, I had an action
15:49 figure museum when no cell phone thought I was dying. Paul's Valley, Oklahoma folks, Paul's Valley. And, you know, I mean, it was, we had oil balls that my parents would throw back at us that
16:01 had candy inside of us. Not the best, right? and the thing was about getting your own bed that has no bullet papers and
16:12 I got you got to pick sometimes where to eat where you where you could sleep walk so I brought up unlike some of the woke you could do or something like that be like stop for ice cream and of Course
16:23 I'd have been like for the life of Me I Can't remember where the world's largest hands hand rolled ball of twine is we also went there the
16:34 Nebraska Alaska I feel like a warehouse there where we do a true Tim adventure and we went to a bar which was the only place we row next to the hand spun bow of twine or without root and history stuff
16:52 ice cream bar that makes sense yes and the only thing they serve basically was like bar food and Chinese food so
17:03 we Ate eras In recent Chinese food at a bar in the middle of nowhere Nebraska which I was talking about among the store inches which you don't know is that we were sitting at that bar trying to ask
17:15 everyone where the closest gas station was a worker on Outta gas Hey You Guys looks like a juror Northern Chinese -style blue Ridge Conservation Rudder and so Yeah we had some Chinese food in Nebraska
17:30 which I don't remember that but I'm sure it was really Tasty we could probably look it up but you know I don't have my crack research team which was was of course town so I want to I want to pivot
17:40 real quick and I I really really like the fifty states stories and I want to get back to those but I thought of your dad when I went to Wrigley Field in Illinois I was there I think I left the day
17:55 that we were supposed to have our initial recording then ended up going out there and what I kind of missed when I was there like even said to myself man I would love to talk to Tim about this is like
18:07 comparing experiences in like professional stadiums or restaurants like it's always like then this and it would always never just be like that first level conversations I'M curious about like some of
18:21 like family favorites like what are some of your memories where you guys look back and you're like that was cool when we went to Alaska when we went to this place in Oklahoma like does anything stand
18:31 out
18:34 Logan you want to go first as I think we might all have the same place go ahead logan you know we
18:44 you know my Dad and I we did actually thought some local places in Houston a couple of times because we liked some food interests that were similar so we went on what I like to say it was a daddy
18:59 daughter date I guess so he took me out for Thai food once and That was not too long before COVID, actually. And then I'm gonna be going to Thailand pretty soon in January. So whenever he found out,
19:17 he decided, Oh, we'll go eat Thai food again. So he took me to a Thai restaurant in downtown Houston.
19:26 I love It I love it so Yeah I mean if You're asking me like places we traveled my favorite places like Coraline Idaho was a great day it was a great vacation great place to be I have like very fond
19:41 memories of it I have also been freezing at the infinity pool shop but like locally there's this little Indian food place in a gas station Oh Yeah no people talked about this there and got to know
19:57 ahmed or whatever he murmurs owner Yeah I Can't for the life of Women Yeah and I I Remember being eight months pregnant with Horrific Heartburn and he suggested Indian food and I was like Let's Go and
20:12 You know we went and we Ate Indian food and I probably regretted it the whole rest of the evening but Yeah it's a it's an Indian food place literally and a gas station and it's very good And it's
20:26 still there. So hopefully they can sponsor this episode.
20:30 Just kidding, just kidding. I don't know if the gas station, maybe I can swing it, but I've heard it. It's been mentioned a few times.
20:42 I don't know how I found the place. I'm not going to lie. I don't know how I found the place, but it's in a gas station. So I'm like a little sketched out. But talk, talk about your relationship
20:53 a little bit with your, with your grandparents. They're, I always sort of knew Tim's, I guess, both sides, really, and I've met them over time. And of course, more recently. Military family.
21:10 And I wonder sort of how that's bled into the parenting of you guys that both of your parents are kids of Air Force people, right? So like, they both learned things a certain way, which was pretty
21:24 right in particular and on time, right? Which are all of the really good qualities to have. But I'm curious, like from the grandparent side of things, were they even like that times like a
21:34 hundred because they were older or did they had they loosened up at the times that you guys had hung out?
21:43 Well, our mom's dad is wild.
21:51 Yeah, he's just a wild time. I can't imagine him ever being a strict parent or like in my head, I can't imagine him parenting at all because he just, he like says things that inappropriate times
22:03 that you think like, it's like my mom and I was joke that like old people become like little kids. They say things like, Oh no, oh no, we don't say that. Out loud, no we don't, no we don't.
22:15 And it's a constant with her dad that y'all was like, Oh no, we
22:21 don't say that, we don't do that.
22:25 but then my other grandparents, I think I always think of how I was strict, but I don't know if strict is even the right word. He's just very even peeled, very regimented, but not necessarily
22:37 strict. That sounds like Tim. With Tim, did he ever get really pissed off at you got guys I, course of 'Cause? really annoyed at my kids. I could see the only people he really pissed off with.
22:50 I don't know, did he though? 'Cause nobody else saw it I don't know about y'all too, but he never yelled. He never yelled. He didn't yell. The whisper was the scary part. The whisper.
23:02 The whisper. He would get close to your ear and he would whisper in your ear like
23:07 through his teeth and his beard would be like on your face of so much worse than just getting yelled at. Yes. His teeth would never open. Did he ever open? He'd talk to his teeth the whole time.
23:17 Really? He'd be like, Yes Yeah, his lips right now are like a team of partners team.
23:25 no
23:27 that's funny which is a start contrast to my mother I mean they're wholly different in the way that they like communicate but we're like she's very loud and like hey stop that and he would just be
23:41 like come here
23:47 we didn't get in trouble from him as much though because quite often he was the one getting in trouble with us like when he would let us eat on the you know the living room floor and then
23:58 we'd all get in trouble yeah he'd be like hey man if you just didn't tell your mom none of us would be in trouble but now four of us are in trouble
24:08 so yeah that was after he was in trouble wasn't it yes Logan really liked to sell us all out she really liked to tell on us yeah I'm a weekend away and Logan will be like look calm this right here
24:23 this
24:26 A ballgame with word download se can be like oh really HMM then we'd all get in trouble
24:35 for Oregon Yeah it's the baby cause a blip babies never going to get the same consequences like well you know Morgan and Aaron they know better logan now know till she's figuring it out re Yazzie you
24:49 get that pass and
24:53 Yeah current current I I said this when we had billy jacks and mac crew on here that she like I really thought it was funny the way that they would interact where she would basically just be like no
25:06 you're not doing that like he'd be like here's a really fun idea she's like Nope not happen so like it I love that you Guys probably saw that all it's I was Hilarious Yeah Yeah he was a good man and
25:21 she was the ones we like Yeah he didn't think about it maybe
25:27 I mean, we've all heard his joke restriction, like as a kid, but he was definitely put on it as an adult too by my mother. I'm sorry, a joke restriction, like you're only allowed to say a
25:39 certain amount of a day. No
25:42 one's told that story. That's inhumane. That's inhumane. No wonder he loved the podcast
25:52 I don't know if it's such awhen he was younger, it was a formal joke restriction. Here it was just like, you knew when he told a certain joke, he would look around and be like, Did she want to
26:03 hear me and yell at me?
26:06 He had a few jokes that were not supposed to be told with all audiences around. And he decided sometimes to take a little walk on the wild side and would get it from Karen. Yeah. And you could feel
26:19 her eyes just Staring at you through the back of your head.
26:25 What he is is he would he would be like organise a joke she could tell her when I became an adult and like I can't get yelled at anymore in the morning to do the job we would just throw me right under
26:37 the market tells a joke now so that he couldn't get in trouble anymore because now we knew his drugs that's called delegation much clearly learned and his men have another reason why he was greatest
26:49 shock of are you guys all like you seem very social are all you guys talkers like when you're not with each other it seems like you have to fight to get a word in a little bit but when you're out with
27:01 friends are you guys the Talkers Yup Yeah I felt I think part of the Low Sir Jean is that you have to take up a lot of social space in a room you Gotta have a big personality
27:18 I mean you just wouldn't survive in our family otherwise at least not this immediate nuclear family you just would be You'd be just drowned out, yeah. I'd say, it definitely goes in order. It's
27:30 like Morgan, me, then Logan for who talks the most into those. To the least. I took a lot of space from the beginning and nobody else got in the room after my dad. It's just constantly been a
27:41 fight. It's like that here too. My wife's like, I don't understand. They all just talk so much. I'm like, so do we, right? So they're just trying to fight to get a couple of words in. That's
27:50 all
27:52 Yeah, that's true. You guys have a beautiful family. And I went to the house. You know, that was the first time that I saw the 50 states thing. Like, do you guys all remember the 50 states or
28:05 were there some points where you were just like babies and too young? It didn't register.
28:11 Most of them we were older. Yeah.
28:15 I mean, Logan was the youngest. So, I mean, there might be some, but I mean, do you remember them all, I think? Yeah, I remember them all.
28:26 Yeah cause I mean logan was I think over ten by the time we started the journey and it was something that I said in passing that I said I want to go to all fifty states before I turned twenty one and
28:41 no way at four years old or something like that five years old no I think I was probably like twelve thirty what's really other than that I mean I might have been on vie for the life of me can't
28:53 remember but I just said it in passing and my dad being my dad was like well you know what an astute and they just started it and then he just came one day and so let's just do it let's just go to all
29:07 fifty states before I turned twenty one and so the Summer
29:12 yeah the summer that I turned twenty one I think was the summer we went to Alaska and Hawaii which was our forty ninth and fiftieth state that was a good move on your Part Hey you know I still haven't
29:24 been to Alaska or Hawaii Surf dad mom
29:29 So your Your Mom is a teacher my parents are teachers and how were you guys able to balance that did most of the family time come in the summer and tim would like take his time off then or like how
29:42 would you guys long weekends and like what we're sort of like the awesome times a year where you'd get that intensive family time
29:52 I Dunno that it was one time of year we my parents are really big on everybody on eating at dinner at the Dinner table
30:01 most nights and even when My Dad was out of town I mean he could be in Oman Saudi Arabia wherever and he called her far Bedtime every night the task at Night I mean it could have been two AM his time
30:16 for All I know but he was at a peak hardness to tell US Good Night
30:23 Then I mean what I think probably the best family time we had was sitting around the Dinner Table I mean we would eat and then we put our plates up and we would all stay sitting there I mean part
30:31 hours hour Yeah Yeah I mean just talking about our days telling some truly stupid jokes you know keeping the TV alert the best memories I have are like you know again with you know the the We had to
30:47 be told you know all the time we will logan be getting in trouble and no doubt will be trying to keep morgan and I under control at the Dinner table because my mom and beyond at Logan and Morgan and I
30:59 would be laughing hysterically shove and cups into our mouth trying to not look like we're laughing and he was yelling at US to stop laughing and I would push our cups like so hard into the corner of
31:11 our mouths to stop ourselves being able to laugh while my God was sitting there with his hands folded saying stop it stop it stop my Stomach from it because as because logan had this whole thing if
31:24 there was something green on her plate ill salad okay Parsley in that how dare it be on her plate whose ourselves and she didn't like she didn't like Salad okay so Cilantro on Salsa it better not be
31:38 there cause that sounded
31:43 like basil and Pasta I don't think so that salad and tomatoes tomatoes are technically fruit tomatoes even tomatoes too close to a vegetable publish it was just a salad things I mean she would yell
31:57 where's
31:59 the fo be like this not celebrate with parsley like you eat it
32:05 and that was no big no from Oregon or as we got older though we definitely still like not quite as much yelling at US at the Dinner table but still a lot of a funny times of laughing and like you know
32:19 we'd be sitting there for hours some nights IT started just a just a really talkative family stuck you know and Logan I know you're just dying to tell a story I can just see that you're sitting there
32:31 waiting to tell a story but just shit on you about your salad you can redeem Yourself Yeah but looking at what I what I really want to touch on you a little bit like how old are you now are are you in
32:44 highschool and and are you thinking about going to a and M engineering or something in like the nursing Healthcare World
32:53 So I just finished my first year at Lamar University I am an American sign language major
33:01 and right now I'm considering medical interpreting and advocacy for the day
33:10 Wow. Well, so we might all be in the medical field in some one way or the other. The urge I had to say what did you say to that is so hilarious. I mean, because I know.
33:23 So no one's going into sales. Nobody's going into oil and gas. It's just not going to happen.
33:30 It's not my brain. No, not enough. Not enough chemistry or math going on and here to keep going past the, just the basic levels, which by the way, my dad went to school to be an engineer and he
33:46 would, he said that from the time he was in fifth grade, he was going to go to school to be an engineer. And it was not until high school that he learned that he was not going to drive a train.
33:55 I mean, he
33:57 was trying to drive a train.
33:60 Wait, so I don't get to do that. Someone told them when he was like in fourth or fifth grade, Oh, you're good at math. You should be an engineer. well then onset I'm good at maths and go to
34:11 compete in engineers and he was a freshman in high school when he learned that like oh shit I'm not going to drive a train
34:18 I mean like he truly and he he would tell a story and be like Nah I'm still my brain but I really could have done it he could have translated retailer not quite a trade but definitely a large vehicle
34:34 something with like the half shifts half years in him no but he did he drove eighteen willing went to very cool I dunno be to driving school that he talked about all the time Yeah I got some special
34:47 license is called a CTL an
34:52 accurate name I didn't know what it all stands for I know one did almost sell for my Dad's pass which seems dumb to bring Chantelle to a podcast but look there's a video recording of his has coveralls
35:07 that he was I forgot them but Yeah once as a recent internship the intern perhaps those are somewhat legendary I have his green coveralls so most that was
35:24 weird I was laughed at it it's I'm imagining that just things are things are a little bit quieter right now Larry Larry Denver said this to me he goes and this has been the first time in twenty five
35:37 years where tim wasn't just talking my ear off and I think that was probably a little bit with you guys too Riley you just you grew up with chatter with conversation with thinking with with love you
35:48 know and and I can see that that really reflects and and shows through you Guys and I think you'll You'll carry on his tradition in an amazing way your parents were pretty young when they had you guys
36:01 for sure like you to Morgan you know like I felt like I was young and I was about thirty right so I can imagine that they were still figuring it out which like I give them a little bit more credit
36:12 because when you're younger it's like you really don't do it so you Gotta go out there you figure it out and you make it work and and now I can see you're doing it too and it's really impressive how
36:22 will my my husband when like we brought my son home is Millwood do nobody writes a book about how to be apparent literally what Big do we do with them people write that we didn't read them we didn't
36:36 read any of them so does not talking business ideas like raising babies for stupid dads for dumb dads I could sell a million copies of that this year well and you know you see my parents inhabiting
36:50 other but both of my parents are very like you follow the rules you go to school you graduate you get for sure as you do this and so they probably had a way more together than me who as my dad said
37:03 squeezed a lot of life into two months when I
37:09 I found out I was pregnant, got married in the wedding that we've been planning for a year, got a new job and bought a house. No, you didn't. Oh my God, wait, hold on. That wasn't two months,
37:20 it was a little stressful. I just had a conversation about this earlier today at lunch, like three of the most stressful things you can ever do is have a kid change jobs and move. Don't even get me
37:35 started with getting married. That's like it's whole different category, but those three things, and you threw a wedding in there too. You're crazy. Found out I was pregnant in June, got a new
37:48 job mid-June, bought a house, moved in in July and then got married in August. No. Tim would jokingly say that I squeezed a lot of life into one summer, sure did. Meanwhile, Logan was
38:03 going to school for the first time, So my parents from my wedding. Drove to move wogan into college help so they a busy time squeeze a lot of their life into that summer too cause that was a lot
38:22 happened that Summer I mean Aaron had stuff going on they went on their mission trip they drove from my wedding to move logan in
38:32 and so I mean I'M just still dropping podcast though Yeah Yeah did you Guys Listen did you Guys ever listen to the podcast did you listen to every episode some episodes what was it like to be honest I
38:48 stopped understanding them all the time the average Superman not even I I Couldn't follow I might I'm sure this is really funny but I don't know What You're saying it was Yeah it was just super like
39:01 Super Narrow I think as far as scope but what what was nice for me about tim is he's like as conversational as Me It is a little more serious for sure but but what he couldn't get out technical like
39:14 out noted you know what I am wondering if that is the case with you guys too as he just like the Walking Encyclopedia the Guy who knew a little bit of everything about everything and then was actually
39:25 right about it I ask again how logan because his daughters because his daughters were the ones to say he was full of shit login could tell us how much the average human head weighs do remember no way
39:39 none of that took twenty pounds or something eight point two five pounds is the average eight point two five yes we know that because tim because he he read it somewhere and installed it until his
39:54 brain to the rest of his life to tell someone fun facts about it anyway we would literally be sitting there and if there was like a low in conversation and you know in a meeting or on cars with him
40:06 but you know and anything he would just Well, you know, the average human heavily would put to five pounds, who knows that I don't know, but while he does, my mom - It's an underrated part of
40:17 life. If you cut off your head, you lose weight, like, sorry. Yeah, my mom purchased him as the king of useless information, which is - Definitely. That's for sure true, a little bit with him,
40:32 but he also had a lot of real information Like when we would talk about anything subsurface to the ground of the earth, he really knew that stuff at an expert level, and then he would get, we'd
40:47 have AM professors and people who'd been engineers and executives forever, and I'd have to be like, what are you guys talking about? So I do get why it wouldn't be the podcast listened to. My
40:59 family generally doesn't listen to this unless I say listen to this episode because like the first seven minutes are relatable Yeah, listen to the first seven minutes 'cause it may be relatable. But
41:08 You'd be surprised we've had a ton we get a ton of downloads we have ton of downloads and I think that like as I've had a chance to go back and listen it's like more the chemistry than anything else
41:21 you know like this my my road dog my Copilot my Frickin talking Guy the Guy who can't Stop Talking I would never do that to him by the way he'd always be like this will be the year that I never once
41:37 did that he would do that Oh Yeah but I'm like I'm Glad I put you in a position to do that because whatever it is it was awesome one has like his just his curiosity was so like infectious I think it
41:51 came to all of Us to is that like there was nothing that he wouldn't want to learn more about or forget we're a year into dating is now my husband who hunts all the time he I came home and while we
42:07 didn't let the I came to his house And he's on the phone with my dad, which was strange to me at the time that like, why would my boyfriend be talking to my dad? And they're in-depth discussing how
42:20 my husband or my dad could shoot a deer, and it could be halal, so the people at the office couldn't. And they, I don't know, deep in promise, my
42:32 dad's like three-way calling somebody else, trying to ask, okay, but what if we did this? Okay, but what if we did this? Okay, well, you know what, and my husband is, God love him a little
42:42 country pumpkin, who would never have asked how could I shoot a deer to make a halal, but because my dad just had this curiosity that would just rub off on anyone around him, my husband is, you
42:55 know, two hours deep in a conversation with my dad of how they could get to the ranch, shoot a deer, make a halal, get, make sausage, and bring it to the office for everybody to try.
43:05 And for the Indian guy, what was it? The Indian because there was an Indian guy who would only eat whole all food, but it may have to be blessed or something. He would call me. We've talked about
43:15 this. You call me. They both decided to be qualified to bless anything. So they never got to do it.
43:26 Oh, it's beautiful, but it's just so freakin Tim, you know, and that's like, that was some of the, some of the fun stuff But yeah, he suddenly shot his axis to be halal, but I don't think he
43:39 ever tried to pass it on anybody for real. But he was like, in my head, it's halal and I did it. OK, I think it had to be a bow and arrow, right? Wasn't that part of the halal process? Like,
43:51 I don't know because he didn't see where's Tim when you need him, man. This is, I know
43:56 you had to like say something before about how like you recognize like, what we didn't deserve to take the example where you were taking to eat it and blah, blah, blah, and like. All I know is
44:06 the access head. My mom said, thank you so much for leaving us for your dad. Please remove it from my home. It's very creepy.
44:15 It took out our house.
44:18 It's beautiful. Any more stories before we sign off, this has been really fun. And I'd love to hear a little bit more from Logan. And like I said, I know you're the youngest, and it's not all
44:33 the easiest to come up with the words to this. But I want to kind of understand from you, like what are some of the things that you feel like your dad instilled in you that you're going to carry
44:47 with you?
44:49 Definitely the natural curiosity I got from him. I mean, just today, somebody looked at me and said, you worry so much about little detail sometimes I said, hmm, yeah, but I got that from dad.
45:09 There are little things that you notice you get from your parents and
45:15 there are just some things I definitely got from my dad that just like him, I'm curious about some things that I just want to learn some things that are going to be useless information, but they're
45:27 fun to learn about You say that nobody else turns out which would also might be true, but until until they're not until they're not and I think that was part of what was the magic of Tim of Tilo was
45:41 It's useless information until it's not, and then all of a sudden you've got a deeper connection with somebody because you have that one story from Sherburne Connecticut, where we stopped through
45:52 and had a deli off the exit 56a. And I've seen him have these conversations before and I really hope for you. You guys are younger. I really hope you lean into that even more. the curiosity
46:05 component. 'Cause to me, he was always like a big kid. And he would just like, I mean, obviously an adult, but he was just so curious. Like just this, he, even about where I grew up and
46:19 everything, what was the population of your hometown? He would ask you questions like that, you know what I mean? And that's just different. And I wish, you know, more people do that. So don't
46:28 be afraid to lean into that. Even people say it's nerdy or it's this and that Like you guys have been given the gift of GAB and of memory, especially of useless information. And I hope you continue
46:40 with that. Aaron, any final thoughts? I would say, yeah. We actually, you know, we've always, we've got, I got the bond for, you know, AM. So we have, the last, you know, few years have
46:55 been fun because, you know, him relipping basically his college life through me and getting to do everything has been really. a special for me, uh, just to kind of have that connection to him for
47:10 myself, and to continue on via true dedication to the Aggie spirit and the Aggie network that he definitely had. What's the, what's the hand, there's like a hand symbol, right? Like what's the,
47:26 just a gig of, dude, that is a good one in the wrecking crew, Aaron, I think. Oh, oh, I don't, I don't do that one. But yeah, that's a good one. Gig them. I don't even know what that means.
47:40 I don't care. It's a long story. We got all kinds of stories that'll be a for another time though. That'll be, that'll be when I launch my my next podcast. Okay. In 2027. I'm just kidding.
47:53 I'll, I'll figure it out. And you know, I, I'm working before I give you the final word. I just wanted to jump in and, and say this, like, this podcast changed my life. Um, for the better,
48:05 for sure. And your dad was a big part of that. And I hope that you guys saw that like it would put a smile on his face when he would do these episodes, because it meant just that much for me and
48:18 even to a lot of our listeners. So it's just like he went downhill so fast and we're sitting here like, what do you do? Like, I don't, it's weird for me to not have a copilot Sad, it sucks. I
48:32 mean, I'm sure for you not having a father, you have, you know, even much stronger feelings, but I admire your strength, same with Karen. I know you guys all have a lot in your plate
48:45 and you're young and you're tough. And I think your dad would be incredibly proud of how you guys are carrying yourselves amidst all this. So Morgan, I'll give you the final couple words I mean, I
48:55 think something that he said, he came home on house just on Monday. So on the Sunday.
49:03 or when we all, no, actually it was Monday morning, wasn't it? When we all went there, he said like, I don't want this to halt your endeavors. I don't want this to stop whatever ball is already
49:17 rolling. And I think that's something that everybody should remember is that like he, he selfless is all get out, but would never have wanted anybody to stop their ball from rolling And so, you
49:31 know, there's, and I think in his final days, not his true final days, his final years, I mean, he checked off so many boxes with all of us. I got married. He got to meet his first grandkid.
49:44 He got to send Aaron to AM. He got to send Logan to Lamar. He got to go on mission trips with all of us. He got to do all of these things that now, you know, when major life events happen, it is
49:56 sad And I think all of us, like I said, we called the man all the time. Oh, they always have so much trouble for it. There's been so many times that I wanted to pick up the phone and be like,
50:07 There's a fucking peacock in my backyard. Can you believe? And then I'm like, Oh, can't do that. 'Cause I mean, who do you call to tell them in the middle of the day at 2 pm? There's a peacock
50:17 in my backyard. But I mean - I swear there's been times where I'm just like, I'm telling my wife comes in, she needs to talk. I'm like, Tim's the middle of the story just put it on mute and it's
50:26 blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah,
50:27 blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah,
50:28 blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah,
50:30 blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah all that
50:33 stuff
50:57 and so the first time I was driving home from work and I couldn't call my thought like Oh shit, like this is weird. You know, who's gonna ask me if I had, I mean, my patients had something in
51:08 their butt today. Yeah.
51:11 Who's gonna ask? We need more people asking questions like that. Yeah. And so, you know, I think that's what, but it's forced us all to lean on each other that we've had to call each other and
51:22 be like, I'll never guess what's in my backyard or what's in my patients butt? Or, you know, I mean, we've all had the harder times, but I mean, it forces you to lean on each other, which I
51:32 think probably is what he would want in the end. And he, you know, I mean, the man literally had a sense of humor until he died. Yeah, that's true. It was hard that he, it's hard that he went
51:44 fast or faster than we would have liked him, but also, you know, he, he wasn't himself at the end, so that was real weird, but, you know, For sure. Literally the day before he died, accused
51:55 my mother who was trying to help him take it into water of drowning him
52:01 This Guy is not Yeah no
52:05 like what are you trying to do drown Me I mean he was lying stop and it was just you know I mean he held the sense of humor to the date and I think that's what and moving forward I think you know find
52:18 the funny in whatever you do or maybe just get a PC user's information and ticket with the purchase was probably what he would and then
52:27 one hundred percent and I I want to thank you guys all for making time coming on I know it's not easy you got kids Aaron You're staying up all night for school logan literally took a break and is in a
52:39 classroom from her mission and I really appreciate you guys coming on honoring Tim on this podcast you know I'm in a different way than Mana and I think that you Guys gave the the audience the
52:54 audience a lot and then I Miss him and I know you do too but but at least we have like 76 hours of content where we can go back and listen to them. Yeah, up on and on, right? Yeah. Yeah.
