<v Speaker 1>Jerry, Katy and Josh six one hundred.

<v Speaker 2>My sister was planning a surprise birthday party for our

<v Speaker 2>little baby brother Baba.

<v Speaker 1>Yeah, so he was having a surprise party.

<v Speaker 2>It's not even his birthday is an until Wednesday, so

<v Speaker 2>it really was kind of last minute. And so my

<v Speaker 2>best friend and I Wifey got to come for to

<v Speaker 2>my hometown for the very first time that she's ever

<v Speaker 2>been there either. We've been best friends for gosh twenty

<v Speaker 2>two years now, and she's never been to my hometown

<v Speaker 2>in North Dakota, so that was the first time that

<v Speaker 2>she got to go back. Her and my brother are

<v Speaker 2>good friend They're so tight, so that was fun to

<v Speaker 2>like when he actually got surprised by us. He saw

<v Speaker 2>me and then he saw my best friend, He's like,

<v Speaker 2>what the heck are you two doing here?

<v Speaker 1>It literally was like that. But it was funny because

<v Speaker 1>we flew.

<v Speaker 2>Into my little hometown of North Dakota, and the entire

<v Speaker 2>time I thought I was surprising everybody, Like when we

<v Speaker 2>booked our tickets and we're like, we're gonna fly in

<v Speaker 2>to little little North Dakota. I just told my mom

<v Speaker 2>and my sister because my sister was throwing the party,

<v Speaker 2>and my mom would be mad at me if I

<v Speaker 2>didn't tell her I was bringing a guest home, you

<v Speaker 2>know what I mean, Like if I just showed up

<v Speaker 2>with somebody and was like, hey, Mom, she'd be so

<v Speaker 2>mad at me. So I gave my mom a heads

<v Speaker 2>up and my sister a heads up that i'd be

<v Speaker 2>coming into town. But I told my mom. I was like,

<v Speaker 2>don't tell anybody I'm coming. I want to surprise everybody

<v Speaker 2>for Bubba's birthday, right, And so I fly into town

<v Speaker 2>and we are staying at the hotel the first night,

<v Speaker 2>so my brother doesn't know we're there, and we met

<v Speaker 2>my mom out at a little bar that she frequents.

<v Speaker 2>My brother doesn't go there, so we wouldn't ruin the surprise, right.

<v Speaker 2>But like, there's a bunch of people out there who

<v Speaker 2>I thought i'd be surprising as well because I told

<v Speaker 2>my mom not to tell anybody i'd be coming out, right, Ye.

<v Speaker 1>So we show up to the bar and I was

<v Speaker 1>just like surprise.

<v Speaker 2>I'm like, yeah, I'm in town, just surprising Bubba. And

<v Speaker 2>everybody's like, oh, your mom told us you were coming.

<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I figured your mom probably my.

<v Speaker 2>Mom caing he has secret to save her life. So

<v Speaker 2>everybody in town but Bubba knew I was coming.

<v Speaker 3>So it kind of sucks for you because I know

<v Speaker 3>how you were like an attention hound, and so you're

<v Speaker 3>probably like, I'm.

<v Speaker 1>Gonna surprise everybody, and they're gonna love it.

<v Speaker 3>They already doing, so it probably was a big letdown.

<v Speaker 2>It was a big letdown, but not because I'm an

<v Speaker 2>attention hog. It's just because I, come on, I went

<v Speaker 2>through a lot of effort to surprise people like you

<v Speaker 2>don't get that opportunity often, and so that was what

<v Speaker 2>bought me out.

<v Speaker 1>And so I like, my mom's like, well I didn't

<v Speaker 1>tell your brother. I'm like, good because it's for him.

<v Speaker 1>He heard it from somebody else, from somebody else. It

<v Speaker 1>actually it actually worked out well.

<v Speaker 2>He didn't get you know, privy to the surprise until

<v Speaker 2>it actually happened. But it's just so funny just even

<v Speaker 2>you know, doing something like that and all the things,

<v Speaker 2>all the working pieces of it, right, But it was

<v Speaker 2>fun because like my brother, he's not married, he doesn't

<v Speaker 2>have any kids or anything, and he's the baby of

<v Speaker 2>the family, so.

<v Speaker 1>He gets like baby beat a lot, right.

<v Speaker 2>Yeah, And my sister, especially like she likes to baby,

<v Speaker 2>my little brother, and so for all of his friends

<v Speaker 2>to be in a hotel banquet waiting for him to

<v Speaker 2>walk in. You know, it was just fun. It was

<v Speaker 2>a fun time. So we had a blast. We just did.

<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

<v Speaker 3>Was it good to be back in like a small

<v Speaker 3>hometown for you? Like, did you have any inkling to

<v Speaker 3>move away, to move back or nothing like that out there?

<v Speaker 2>Now?

<v Speaker 1>Why are you asking me to move No, I'm just curious.

<v Speaker 3>Because I know, like when we go back to a

<v Speaker 3>small town Iowa, you know area, we're like, man, just

<v Speaker 3>life's a little slower, it's a little quieter, yeah, a

<v Speaker 3>little more peaceful.

<v Speaker 2>But you go back for a vacation, I go back

<v Speaker 2>and all of the memories of growing up in a

<v Speaker 2>small town come flooding to my shirt. So that's the

<v Speaker 2>thing is, I grew up in a very, very small town,

<v Speaker 2>and I have all those memories already.

<v Speaker 1>I know what it's like to live there.

<v Speaker 2>It's one thing to go back and be there for

<v Speaker 2>a week and you have the slow pace life that

<v Speaker 2>seems like it's such a change from what you're doing,

<v Speaker 2>But when you have to live that.

<v Speaker 1>Day in and day out, it's different. It's different.

<v Speaker 2>It's like when you're trying to get to the post

<v Speaker 2>office and the person in front of you has no

<v Speaker 2>reason to hurry, right, and then you.

<v Speaker 3>Get to the post office and that person's out, you know,

<v Speaker 3>back wandering around or something.

<v Speaker 1>Yeah, on break.

<v Speaker 2>So how funny when we went to the hotel right like,

<v Speaker 2>we were going to check into our hotel and there

<v Speaker 2>was nobody at the front desk. There was nobody at

<v Speaker 2>the little bar area exactly, there was nobody there. And

<v Speaker 2>then all of a sudden, we look and we see

<v Speaker 2>there's a phone hanging on the wall and it says, uh,

<v Speaker 2>please pick up the phone for assistance. So we picked

<v Speaker 2>up the phone and the phone at the front desk

<v Speaker 2>started ringing.

<v Speaker 1>Literally where we were at and we're like, what what

<v Speaker 1>this even do? Go ahead, get behind the desk.

<v Speaker 2>And we were there for fifteen minutes until somebody finally

<v Speaker 2>came down and they were cleaning the room upstairs. Because

<v Speaker 2>not only do they check people in the clean and

<v Speaker 2>they help land the planes at.

<v Speaker 1>The airport in your spare time. Exactly.

<v Speaker 2>Get the small town feel is great until you live there.

<v Speaker 2>You have to those small town rules.

<v Speaker 1>And so I think the one like it does.

<v Speaker 2>What I like is you can see the stars from

<v Speaker 2>my town, Like when you look at the sky, you

<v Speaker 2>can see every single star in it, and that brings

<v Speaker 2>me so much joy.

<v Speaker 1>And then like everybody says hi to you.

<v Speaker 2>That's also the thing is like you forget that, like

<v Speaker 2>everybody greets you, you know, and so it's that's almost

<v Speaker 2>a little exhausting in itself, but it's also kind of

<v Speaker 2>you know, it's sweet, it's charming because there's a charm

<v Speaker 2>to it.

<v Speaker 1>Leave your front door unlocked, that they'll still steal your car.

<v Speaker 3>You can't do that, And ask you did you did

<v Speaker 3>you go back and rekindle any uh, any relationships.

<v Speaker 1>Or anything from anybody from my high school or that's

<v Speaker 1>not what I go home for.

<v Speaker 3>Did he cross your mind?

<v Speaker 1>No, that's what I left. No, there's nobody there.

<v Speaker 2>There's even if I did think about it for a

<v Speaker 2>small second, there's literally nobody there, nobody there that I would.

<v Speaker 1>Even It's funny.

<v Speaker 2>So my best friend and I again, she came with

<v Speaker 2>me to my hometown and her and I went to

<v Speaker 2>the bar that I when I did go home and

<v Speaker 2>go to the bar, there was one I went to

<v Speaker 2>specifically where a bunch of people my age went to.

<v Speaker 2>I went to see one specific person, but it was

<v Speaker 2>a girl, and it was just to you know, like

<v Speaker 2>I was hoping, I don't know, like to make out.

<v Speaker 1>No. No, she's just not my favorite person.

<v Speaker 2>So I was like, see you and you got fat,

<v Speaker 2>I'm gonna laugh at you. Sorry, well no, but really

<v Speaker 2>like you.

<v Speaker 1>When I met up with her to see if she

<v Speaker 1>looked horrible. No, I did not meet up with her.

<v Speaker 2>I want to see her just so she can see me.

<v Speaker 1>Yeah, exactly.

<v Speaker 2>So that's the only person I wanted to see, and

<v Speaker 2>it was I did not meet up, but like literally

<v Speaker 2>wanted to see her, Like, didn't meet her.

<v Speaker 1>I wanted to see her so I could fletch until

<v Speaker 1>you saw her. No, did not see her.

<v Speaker 2>No, we didn't end up seeing her, but she's the

<v Speaker 2>one person I wanted to see so I could be like,

<v Speaker 2>you know, yeah.

<v Speaker 1>That's weird. No, it's not.

<v Speaker 3>It's I I hope Tina is there because I'm a

<v Speaker 3>fabulous Yeah,
