<v Speaker 1>Jerry, Katie and Josh makes one hundred. I would imagine

<v Speaker 1>a lot of you are getting ready for work right now,

<v Speaker 1>trying to pick out the perfect pant suit for the day.

<v Speaker 2>Uh huh, Katie's got a fashion hack.

<v Speaker 3>I guess the wrong shoe theory.

<v Speaker 2>It's pretty awesome. The wrong shoe Yeah.

<v Speaker 3>That was coined by a celebrity stylist. So what it

<v Speaker 3>came from is she was looking at her client, who

<v Speaker 3>wore sneakers almost every day because she was a busy

<v Speaker 3>city mom, right, And so she noticed that her client

<v Speaker 3>would always start with her shoes and then build up

<v Speaker 3>from there, and she would always do sneakers because she

<v Speaker 3>kind of just felt like that's what her vibe was.

<v Speaker 3>But then her outfit always matched that, like sporty kind

<v Speaker 3>of sneaker equals sporty.

<v Speaker 2>Look yea yeah yeah.

<v Speaker 3>So because she started with the sneakers, everything always looked

<v Speaker 3>like it matched the sneakers. So she looked at that

<v Speaker 3>and she's like, wait a minute, how do you actually

<v Speaker 3>want to dress? And that's where she realized that sporty

<v Speaker 3>wasn't the goal with her client. It was just comfort.

<v Speaker 3>And because she's a city mom and walking a lot

<v Speaker 3>she wanted to have that sneaker, and then the outfit

<v Speaker 3>just kind of reflected that. So they switched things up.

<v Speaker 3>And what they did was that they started the outfit first.

<v Speaker 3>So then you're building the outfit and then you choose

<v Speaker 3>a shoe that adds an unexpected contrast. So it's the

<v Speaker 3>wrong shoe, but it looks unexpected and cool.

<v Speaker 2>But somehow it yeah, exactly fabulous.

<v Speaker 3>It has completely changed the game when it comes to fashion.

<v Speaker 3>And it said the addition of the sneakers. So if

<v Speaker 3>you have like a sheic looks like a paint suit,

<v Speaker 3>but then you have the sneakers along with it, it

<v Speaker 3>makes the sneakers look like they are the choice, like

<v Speaker 3>an intentional styling decision, and that looks more genuine to

<v Speaker 3>your style.

<v Speaker 1>But it's very much like the dudes now who rock

<v Speaker 1>the suits. You go into a fancy event or whatever,

<v Speaker 1>and then you grow on a really bright white pair

<v Speaker 1>of Nikes.

<v Speaker 2>Yeah, somehow it looks really good.

<v Speaker 1>Absolutely, you throw some Jordans on or something with your

<v Speaker 1>sin and you're like, damn this, I could pull this off.

<v Speaker 3>This way with the suit is so money. And that's

<v Speaker 3>kind of the heart of this whole theory. It's like,

<v Speaker 3>choose a shoe that adds an unexpected contrast, and that's

<v Speaker 3>going to make the outfit feel more thoughtful and present.

<v Speaker 1>So I love being thoughtful, and I know you do

<v Speaker 1>vision boards.

<v Speaker 3>When I saw wrong Shoe Theory, I.

<v Speaker 1>Was like, ja, I've taken a sharpie or dry erace

<v Speaker 1>and wrote that on my mirror in the bathroom.

<v Speaker 2>Wrong shoe theory. Yes, thoughtful and present, so smart. And

<v Speaker 2>then I draw a heart around it. Yes, you matter.

<v Speaker 3>And then you think the thing is, if you want

<v Speaker 3>to try this, you probably already own everything you need

<v Speaker 3>to try the wrong shoe theory instead of buying a

<v Speaker 3>whole wardrobes.

<v Speaker 2>That's what people love about it too. It is like

<v Speaker 2>I already have everything I need.

<v Speaker 1>Yeah, dig out those vans from the back corner of

<v Speaker 1>your closet, throw them on today, just for fun, with an.

<v Speaker 3>Evening dress, go dos with a tuxedo.

<v Speaker 2>Where does it end.

<v Speaker 1>I've gone through a couple of big milestones with my

<v Speaker 1>kids this summer at the start of the school year.

<v Speaker 1>You know, we got one who's leaving elementary school going

<v Speaker 1>to middle one leaving middle going into.

<v Speaker 2>High school, both at the same time, same year. Right,

<v Speaker 2>that's a big move for parents. It is.

<v Speaker 1>My son started driving, and you know, we were talking about that.

<v Speaker 2>On the air the other day and I started crying like.

<v Speaker 1>A baby because he's growing up so fast. And I

<v Speaker 1>cried like a baby again yesterday.

<v Speaker 3>Oh no, what happened.

<v Speaker 1>We took my daughter over to the middle school because

<v Speaker 1>it was like the day that they get their schedule,

<v Speaker 1>their locker combination. They could drop off their supplies, they

<v Speaker 1>go walk the their schedule, walk the halls. You know, yes, Katie,

<v Speaker 1>I bet you bawled like a baby. The observations of

<v Speaker 1>these kids coming back from summer to school, especially in

<v Speaker 1>middle school, it is so funny to see the height

<v Speaker 1>differences of all these kids in that age group.

<v Speaker 2>Yeah, you got some kids that are, you.

<v Speaker 1>Know, five foot tall, and then you got other kids

<v Speaker 1>over here that are about a foot tall.

<v Speaker 2>Sad day for them. They got the upper locker.

<v Speaker 1>And they cannot see they're the little dial at all.

<v Speaker 1>There's a couple of poor kids there that were so

<v Speaker 1>small they were like trying to jump up to get

<v Speaker 1>their locker open. It was really quite sad. I laughed though,

<v Speaker 1>and speaking up the lockers. It was kind of cute

<v Speaker 1>watching all these kids including my daughter, who live in

<v Speaker 1>a fully digital world right now, trying to figure out

<v Speaker 1>how the combo lockers work, you know, right left, right.

<v Speaker 2>Right, right, left right, you get.

<v Speaker 3>The one number, then all the way around for the

<v Speaker 3>second number.

<v Speaker 1>That's right, and trying to teach them about that when

<v Speaker 1>they are just used to you know, one, two, three,

<v Speaker 1>four on their phone and boom you're in.

<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it was kind of funny. Never turned a dial

<v Speaker 2>in their line.

<v Speaker 1>I have never used an analog locker in their life.

<v Speaker 2>It's sweet, my sweet little daughter. She I made her

<v Speaker 2>do it.

<v Speaker 1>She was getting so sick of me because it took

<v Speaker 1>her a while to catch on and how to do it.

<v Speaker 2>And so we'd go walk her schedule, go, you know,

<v Speaker 2>go back to the locker, do it two.

<v Speaker 1>Or three more times, and she's like, I was like,

<v Speaker 1>do it because you're gonna be under a time cray

<v Speaker 1>when you're changing classes, and I just want you to

<v Speaker 1>know how to do it. So she must have opened

<v Speaker 1>and close her locker probably seventy five times yesterday.

<v Speaker 2>It's like the wax on wax sauce. Yeah karate kidds.

<v Speaker 1>Yes, but you know what, she got it down. She

<v Speaker 1>can do it with her eyes closed now. So I

<v Speaker 1>was very proud of her.

<v Speaker 2>But yeah, there was a moment when we were walking around.

<v Speaker 2>I'm gonna try not to cry now, when.

<v Speaker 1>We walked into the cafeteria and it was so you know,

<v Speaker 1>it's so big, it's way bigger than an elementary.

<v Speaker 2>School cafeteria, right, oh yeah, And.

<v Speaker 1>She stood there and she was standing there and I

<v Speaker 1>got this picture of her just kind of standing there,

<v Speaker 1>like taking it all in and looking at the ceiling.

<v Speaker 3>And I lost it and nobody noticed.

<v Speaker 2>I just was like, I mean, I lost it. It

<v Speaker 2>was my little girl.

<v Speaker 1>I was like, that's your baby, and I I had

<v Speaker 1>tears like rolling down my face and I wasn't loud crying.

<v Speaker 2>It was just like, you know, you well up. Yeah.

<v Speaker 1>And I looked over it Nicole and she said don't

<v Speaker 1>and then boom, she started just gushing and we were

<v Speaker 1>trying to hide it from the kids. And then I'm like,

<v Speaker 1>oh my god, who am I going to run into

<v Speaker 1>in the halls here now? And I've got bright red

<v Speaker 1>eyes and I'm like everything's wet, but yeah, it's just

<v Speaker 1>you've been there.

<v Speaker 2>Oh yeah, it's a moment. Man. I had a moment yesterday.

<v Speaker 3>You know when they graduated from high school, like when

<v Speaker 3>they go to college, all those things. I mean it

<v Speaker 3>and it hits you like that every time you think

<v Speaker 3>that maybe you're used to it, you're gonna be prepared

<v Speaker 3>this time, you've got you expect it coming. But every time,

<v Speaker 3>at least for me, I just completely lose it because

<v Speaker 3>you're right, it's a moment in time that you just

<v Speaker 3>realize they're not going to be with you forever. Yeah,

<v Speaker 3>And I think that's what it is really sets in.

<v Speaker 2>I mean, it hits you like.

<v Speaker 1>Like like the clock is tickings moving forward, and.

<v Speaker 3>The real person, real like with real feelings and beliefs

<v Speaker 3>and and dreams, and it's just like.

<v Speaker 1>This is a whole new, huge experience moving from elementary

<v Speaker 1>to middle school.

<v Speaker 2>This is a big deal now, you know.

<v Speaker 3>And h right, you're so happy because you're like, oh,

<v Speaker 3>you're doing all the things I wanted you to. This

<v Speaker 3>is exactly what we've been training for for you to

<v Speaker 3>move on the next moment. So it's like there's so

<v Speaker 3>many feelings involved in it, and I think that's why

<v Speaker 3>people become overwhelmed, because it's just like.

<v Speaker 2>I don't know what this is. I'm just gonna cry.

<v Speaker 1>You know I'm trying to be you know, a big

<v Speaker 1>tough dad and everything, and man, it's not a chance

<v Speaker 1>in hell. So I expected to happen again when we

<v Speaker 1>go up to the high school and do some stuff

<v Speaker 1>for you know, back to school night and stuff there

<v Speaker 1>for my son, but you.

<v Speaker 3>Very care for those high school kids'll push you down,

<v Speaker 3>and they will they will.

<v Speaker 2>Shove me down. Well, who's dad is dad crying?

<v Speaker 1>Nicole did hold it together pretty darn well though. I

<v Speaker 1>was really impressed because she is definitely a very sentimental mom.

<v Speaker 1>But when we walked out the front doors of the

<v Speaker 1>middle school to head out, that's when she.

<v Speaker 2>Was like, I held it in for I just I

<v Speaker 2>held it in for so long and now I can't.

<v Speaker 2>So she was out front with snot running down her face.

<v Speaker 3>I'm sure.

<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it was pretty nasty.

<v Speaker 3>That's the thing, though, you can totally give some kind

<v Speaker 3>of you know, people out there are listening and going

<v Speaker 3>through the same exactly, guys, I feel you exactly Like
