Today's guest is a young lady from the state of Florida. And she's known for her viral clips online. She stopped by today with her mom, Dawn, and her sister, Grace, to have a chat and some snacks at the end. I had a blast with today's guest, Miss Hannah. Strickland. Strickland. You can move this if you need to. I'm pretty loud, so. Yeah, she doesn't need a microphone. Yeah. Do people say you're loud a lot, or do you feel. No, I just am loud. I just know I'm loud because I am loud. Yeah. Have you always been that way, you think, even since you were just a child? Um, I don't know. Do you remember a time when you weren't very loud? I was probably always loud. I respect that. I think I'm just feeling. I feel a little bit anxious today, I guess. Do you ever feel like that, Hannah? No. Not? You don't? I'm just worried. I think I'm just not ready for Easter, and I know Easter's coming. It's Easter. I know, but sometimes it just feels like a lot with, like, the parties and the egg hunt and. You don't have to have a party. I guess I don't have to have a party, but I don't want to be the guy that doesn't have one or whatever. Yeah. Do you. Like, do you. Have you always thrown, like, a birthday party? Yeah. Would you ever not throw one, you think? Mm-hmm. What about last year? You had a yes day. Oh, yeah, I had a yes day. What is a yes day? Uh, where. Where. Where dad or mom says yes to everything. What? Yeah. For the whole day? Mm-hmm. No. What was the first thing you asked for? Um. We went on Amazon, and I got accessories for my Barbie doll. Facts. And I got, like, a big, like, American Girl doll thing, and it's, like, it. Like, it comes with accessories and, like, a lot. So you got everything you needed. Yeah, pretty much. And did you. Did you get, like, a special type of meal or anything? Like, what else were you allowed. Like, what were you allowed to ask for? Anything that even came into your head? Yeah, pretty much. What? What if you wanted, like, a pet or something like that? Or even, like, a. Oh, my dad, uh, he doesn't want another pet in the house. Okay. And have there been issues with the current pets? No. Nothing at all? No. Hmm. He just doesn't want another one. Do you think he's being a bit much? Yes. Okay. What's the pet you would go for? And be honest. A cat. Just a cat? Yep. You can get a cat in the woods. But we have a cat. Well, I want, like, a fatter cat. Fatter than the one we have? Yeah. Yeah. How fat is the cat you have? Just show me with your hands. Uh, probably this big. And how fat do you want? Like, the size of the chair. Oh, wow. Yeah. So you want a real big feline, huh? Yeah. And why? Do you just want to brush its hair? What do you even want to do with it? It's a cat. You play with it. Are you allowed to play with your cat outside? Or only inside? Um. Well, the cat doesn't really like the outside. And it'll probably fall in the pool. So. Oh, that's dangerous. Now, take a gander at some of these fat cats that we pulled up here. Yeah, that's the cat that I want. Oh, so you're thinking something big like that, huh? That thing's thick. Like a Garfield? Yeah. She loves Garfield. You do? Mm-hmm. Mm. Now, if you had to choose one of these fat, kind of fat ones or whatever, or some of them are overweight, or some of them, I think, have glandular issues, but if you had to choose one of these larger cats. The polka dot one with the white and the black. Yes, please. That mixed one right there. That Ben Simmons right there. That's what I would get. That one's nice, huh? Yeah. You could even play Twister on that if you dyed the colors of it. Yeah, maybe. Okay. Very fair. I'm sitting here with Hannah Strickland and her mother, Dawn Strickland. And who picked out your. Who picked out your name? Um. My dad. And did you have a say in her name or not, Dawn? Absolutely. You did? Yeah. We. So, it was going. It was going to be an awful name. I would have changed it if it was an awful name, but. And I totally understand that. I want to say I agree with you, Hannah. What were you going to choose, Dawn? It was actually going to be Hannah Beth. Yeah, and I hate that. But. We. Yeah. But what? I would have named a table that. A table? Yeah. Yeah. But what happened, Dawn? But. So, what happened was Hannah Beth didn't strike us when she was born. And so. We had a very close family member whose wife was Genevieve. And that's her middle name. That's a way better name. So, she loves her middle name. Yeah. Because Genevieve, it's almost like. Does it feel like an alter ego sometimes, Hannah? No, it's just French. Oh. Totally. Then that makes total sense. If you could. Say you go back in time to when you were a child. Yeah. Could you pick a different name for yourself and. Violet. Violet? Mm-hmm. Why? I just like that name. Yeah, I like it too. I like Violet. What would you pick, Dawn? What do you think your mother looks like if you had to give mom a different name? Because Dawn is very pretty. Dawn means like the beginning of the day, I think, or the end of the day. It's like a very. It's like the dawn of the rest of the earth. Like the world is going to like blow up. Okay, that's a bit. Yes. Awesome. That's one way to. Yes, that is sometimes how it's looked. That is a very. More Dorian kind of view of it. But yeah, what do you think her name would be if you had to give. You get to rename mom, right? Water bottle. Water bottle? Mm-hmm. Why? It's just funny. I like that. Oh, this is my mother, Water Bottle. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. That's pretty funny, actually. I wonder what I would name my mom. Probably. Jeffrey Epstein. Okay. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, maybe. I mean, she had four children. But I don't think that. But yeah, maybe so. I think that's hilarious. So, I'm so grateful you ladies are here today. Do you all live together? Well, yeah. Yeah. We decided to. And Hannah, is there a point where you're looking to actually get your own place? Or have you thought about that at all? Or is that not something you're. I want an action. You do? Yeah. Okay. And my sister said that she lived in. In India. And she had a golden toilet and a golden steak and a lot. I actually don't recall that. She lived in India? Well, she says that, but I don't believe her. So. But should you believe your sister? That's not a common. Is that even. I don't know. She said she had, like, golden horses and golden stallions and, like. Oh, my gosh. Maybe she met somebody online or something. Yeah, she probably looked it up. Asked Chet. Yeah. And just created that. In her head. Yeah. Yeah. What do you do to relax? What do you do to unwind? Uh. Take a bath. Okay. And are you somebody that stays in the bathtub for a long time? Yes. Oh, you're in the. So is my sister. She, um. She never closed the curtain because she's scared of the grimace. She's. That's not pure grace. That's you. Of grimace from McDonald's? Yes. Really? How did that. Bring up grimace. Does he look. Yeah, he looks like something. He's very dark and purple. Yeah. So you're saying when you see grimace, you see a not a positive thing. You see a negative thing. There's a purple one. I didn't even know there's a green one, but whatever. Well, that's a St. Patrick's one. That's supposed to be his cousin or whatever. Ah, that's nice. And then Grace also made up another grimace where it's black and it's, like, dark black and if you go on the road, then he's gonna kidnap you and eat you. Oh, that's blemish, I think. Yeah. Wow. Really in doom. So. Doom death. And what did you say? Doom death. Doom death. It's. Doom. It's where we are. No, I. Look, I'm glad. I'm glad you're here from the future to tell us how it all ends. That's good. It's for you. Do you think grimace wants good things for the world or do you think he kind of has his own plans? Probably to take over the world, blow the planet above, buy some bombs, more bombs. Yep. But what about the fries? What about the kids' play area? You don't think he cares? cares about all that? You don't think Grimace cares about the McDonald's kids' play area? You know he's from McDonald's? Well, yeah. Oh. I don't think he would make at McDonald's. He'd probably add poison in the burgers. True. You know, he actually got fired from McDonald's, I think. Wow. So, not impressive. I'm not impressed anymore. Yeah. Yeah. It's evil. There's an evil Grimace. Well, he's changed a lot. I know he went through some dark times, and I know I think some of his family members passed away. Oh, wow. That's fun. It's a tough moment for people. Wow, that's really funny. I mean, it's pretty crazy. I don't know if it's funny, though. I mean, I guess if there's a way to try to laugh about the pain of it. Is that probably what you mean, Hannah? No, just funny. Oh, yeah. Because the Grimace doesn't exist. There's a person under it. Some people say that. Bring it up. Does Grimace exist? Let's look it up. Yes, Grimace is a real character. Oh. Told you. He's fictional. Mm-hmm. He was introduced in 1971. So, he's getting older. Yeah. That means he is 55 years old. He looks good for his age. I will say that. Yeah. Will you say that? Yeah. All right. Purple don't crack, huh? Hannah, what would you say? You're here today and thank you for coming. Yeah. To town. Have you been to Nashville before? No. And were you excited about coming to Nashville? Yes. I like the hotel. You do? Mm-hmm. Good. Is that something you enjoy is getting that first moment in the hotel? Yeah. That's fun, huh? What do you like the best about it? What's kind of just the energy of it? I like the showers. Yes. Because the shower's big. Oh, that's fun in there. Yeah. Yeah. If you can have a good shower, that's pretty good. My friend one time rescued a pelican and there was a storm. There was like a big storm and he rescued a freaking pelican and we had to keep it in our shower for three days. That sounds fun. It was pretty fun. And we had to get fish and stuff and go in there and feed him and stuff. But it was scary while you were washing your hair with the shampoo because it would be scary if the suds got in your eyes and you were scared he was going to attack you or whatever. Yeah. Yeah. But, you know, you just try your best. Yeah. I would just go swim in the pond with alligators. You would? Mm-hmm. You do that type of behavior? Mm-hmm. You swim with alligators? Mm-hmm. Where? In our pond. What? In our pond. Dawn, is this true? Yes. To my knowledge, this is not true. It is true. This would be stamped false. Well, it is true. Oh. I can't see behind the shades. Because I know there's a pelican in the pond. I would just put the pelican and the pond in. Goodbye. And let the alligators get him? Mm-hmm. Hannah. My brothers would probably laugh too, but it's funny. Hannah Genevieve. Ruthless. What have we done? How'd you become so tough-willed like that where you're just willing to face it all, you know? Well, you just throw it in the pond like, goodbye. That's true. Yeah. It's one good way to get rid of a pet, I think. Yeah. Just throw it in lava. Put more in lava. Put it in the pond. Say goodbye. Meat for the alligators. Yeah, I guess that's one way to have it. Yeah, that's the Florida way, I mean. That's very much the Florida way. They're building a lot of detention centers down there. They're doing a lot of crazy stuff to get rid of folks. So I wouldn't be surprised. Do you know a lot about animals or not? Uh, not really. You feed them, you play with them, they sleep, they get fat, done. That's fair. Yeah. Is there an animal you would like to get that you think you're not allowed to have? Because I know dad. A hamster. My dad does not want a hamster. What? Yeah. You don't want one of those little floor bears? It's a hamster. Some people call them floor bears. Look at them. They're cute. I know they're cute. Do you know I used to sell hamsters at my first job? Well, you better give me one. I kind of want one of those. Those are cute. I heard you can't even have one, though. Well, my dad would be surprised. I would actually get one. You think we could sneak maybe you could sneak one in? Yeah. Yeah. Because I could go on the airplane. For sure. Put it in your pocket. I'd like that. I'd just buy a cage from Amazon or something. That's easy. But dad might notice a cage comes in the mail. He's gonna be like, what goes in here? I did not think of that. He would just probably throw it in the pocket. Think that through. You gotta think that through. No, I would buy a cage, put the hamster in the cage, and then I would take it with me on the airplane. Okay. And then he can't do anything about it once it comes home, so. That's fair. Yeah. Who runs the household at your house? Is it mom? Dad? Um, me. You? Dawn, is this true or not? Yes. In some regard, it probably is true. She's the fourth typical Yeah, I know. That's embarrassing to admit. Well, I pretty much clean the whole house. That one over there doesn't do anything. She doesn't clean anything. Uh, yeah. Jonah. Sorry, Jonah, but he doesn't do anything. Neither. What? Yeah. Jonah's not even here to defend himself. Yeah, that's bad. But do you think it's true that he doesn't do anything? Yes. If you went to court, what would the judge decide? That he does do things or he does not do anything? Do not do anything. Oh my God. Guilty. Guilty. And what should his sentence be? How many years in prison, you think? Uh, one. That's fair. Teach him some lessons? Teach him how to do some stuff? Mm-hmm. What are the chores that you wish some of your family members would do more of to really help you out? I'm the one who cooks. Dawn. I do, in fact, cook. No, you do not. I cook the food. Hannah, you cook the food? What are you cooking? Um, pasta. Every night? Mm-hmm. So you have seven nights of pasta? Yep. Every night. So if you had a restaurant, it would be called Seven Nights of Pasta? Mm-hmm. And what would you serve? Pasta. Every kind of pasta. Hmm. Pasta salad. Pasta. Shrimp pasta? Yeah. What? Yeah. That's a kind of pasta? You don't have it? Well, not shrimp. Maybe, like, I don't know, some ham and pasta. What's another kind of pasta if you had to pick that you love? Pasta salad, uh, cheese pasta, macaroni and cheese. I love every pasta, except shrimp. Name one more pasta. I don't know. I can't think of anything more. What? You like, you like the pasta with the red sauce? Yes. And I like salt. Okay. Italian pasta? Uh, well, I like, like, pasta where there's, like, salt on it, and I put the, I put, like, this much salt. Are you allowed to have that much? Yeah. It's just salt. Yeah, you're right. That's a good call. Um, take me into your family. So, how many children do you have, Dawn? Four. Okay. Dawn? And were you excited about all of the kids? Was there ever a kid where you got it, and you're like, ah, this one, you know, hit or miss? No. I, I, I never thought that we would have four kids. That was kind of a surprise. Um. Where do you meet your husband? Niceville. That's where, so, I grew up in the panhandle. Mm-hmm. And, um, I had gone away to college, and, and I came back. Oh, you moved them. Yes. Oh, no wonder. I kept on saying you were from Alabama. I told you I wasn't from Alabama. Well, I did not trust that. I told you. Well, now I do. I, I was not born in Alabama. I didn't ever even live in Alabama. Well, now Grandma and Papa do. That's correct. I love the dirt roads. Same. I love it. I just want to roll around in it. I do, too. No, you don't. No, I want to walk on it, though. Um, so, we, we met at, uh, community college. Community college is good. A lot of people go. I mean, it's good. Yeah. And, and we went. And you guys met there. We did, yeah. And y'all fell in love. We did fast. So, we met. Yeah. And. Grace is a high school dropout. Grace. She dropped out of school. She didn't drop out. She's doing. Yes, she did, Mom. Was she doing drugs? No. It's on line hand. Well, that's good, then. So, she's making a lot of good choices. Why did she quit school? She didn't feel like she's a lazy bum. I wouldn't. That's not my choice of words. Uh, it is mine. It's my words. She's ruthless. Hannah is the boss. Is she always ruthless like this? Yes. So, you and your husband's name is? Travis. You and Travis, um, get together. Y'all get married first? We, we met and, and we were engaged two months later. Two months later. Whoa. And then. That's fast love. It was super fast. And, I mean, it sounds crazy now, but at the time, it didn't feel crazy. And then we were. It's called fast love, Dawn. Yeah. And it's okay. Yeah. I guess it is because we're, here we are, like, 26 years later. Yeah. You made the greatest choice, I think. I think so. Like, we didn't have all the junk in our head at that point. You know what I mean? Like, just world, just stress. But, Ramiya, um, I really, so, for my birthday, can you get me, like, some calico critters? Yeah. Maybe we could chat about it later. Yeah. Closer to your birthday. Yeah. It's coming up, though. I'm gonna be 10. You are? Mm-hmm. Yeah. In April? May. May. Okay. - It's exciting. - May 20th. Yep, you know it. May 28th. May 2016. Okay. Yeah. And so, when do you meet your first child? Or when do you have your first child? Oh, I was like. Sally and Fiona. So, my first one. And what's funny is they're best friends. I don't know why she's doing this, because they're literally best friends. So, he is 23. So, he was born in 2002. Oh, my. Oh, wow, y'all. Oh, wow. Y'all. The interwebs. Y'all literally looks like a cowboy hat. So, is this y'all's family? Yeah. That is a very old photo. That was me and Mommy Sam. Where? And then Grace in that pink dress. Maybe something within the. Grace was with the heir. Within the decade. I look pretty good. Let's see. Zoom in on that baby, huh? Oh, yes. Just not on the baby's mother. Oh, it's a beautiful family there. And who is the guy on the left? Is that Tyler Childers? That is my brother, Joel. Okay, and how is he doing? Very well. He's working on being. He's a little turnbucket. Or that. He's working hard to be an EMT. Dawn, tell us the truth, because it doesn't sound like she's telling us the truth. Is she? No, he is a turnbucket. You're telling us the truth. Is Dawn telling us the truth? Yes. She said he's doing great. Well, he is, but he's a little turnbucket. Oh, you're right. Okay, so both things can be true. Yes. Okay, so how is he doing? He's doing great. He is working. He's 21 now. I think in that photo. Mom, why did you put me in that dress? I apologize. No, that is a good question. Let's stop for a second and look at this kid's dress, because first of all, you look like a little something, like a little Easter present. Yeah. Yeah. And you wore an Easter present, because isn't your birthday right around Easter? Technically Memorial Day. Yeah. I didn't even know Memorial Day even existed. Hey. It's not Easter. And then my brother Jonah. Yeah, let's take us into. So take us into the next child. So you get one child, and you guys are digging it, and you're like, let's get another child. So Jonah is like the one at the top. Okay. I love that you guys put this together. And how's he doing today? Be honest with us. He's fun. He plays video games, never wants to bathe a dog, never wants to brush the dog, never wants to mow the lawn. Huh. It's a lot. Yeah, he never does anything. He's also working on being an engineer, so he's pretty bright. And he sadly doesn't want to move. He doesn't really want to move out. He doesn't want to move out? I'm trying to steal one of their rooms. I see. So you have a plan in all of this. You want to get rid of one of these people, huh? Well, I want to get rid of Joel, because he has the biggest room. He's a turd bucket. Mm-hmm. And yeah. And we've already determined that Joel is dealing with some bucket issues or whatever. Because you never heard that word, butt munch. You know, obviously Joel is doing his thing. But here's my question. Do you have your own room, Hannah? No, I have to live with Mom and my dad, the one that snores. And I can barely even sleep. And why don't you have your own room? We didn't buy a bigger house. And it's a black house. It's brown. Brown, black, poopy brown. She does hate the color of the house and her defense. It's horrible. And so you get to the third. Who's the third child? Grace. Yeah, Grace. Grace. Okay. Actually, no, it was me. Yeah, it was me. It was Gracie. It was me. Okay. Well, let's just get to that. Let's get to the magic then. When was Hannah born? 2016. 2016. Okay. And Hannah has, you have some, you have like a, kind of like a thing. It's called stenosis? Yeah. And what is it? Because I've heard of it, but I haven't really heard a lot. I don't know a lot about it. Well, Mom, how about you tell them? Do you want me to tell that part? Yeah. Okay. So technically, it's a lysosomal storage disorder. And how do we say it? Stenosis. Stenosis. Yep. You did very good. We've talked to doctors before and they mispronounce it. So you did better than they did. But essentially, cysteine, which is an amino acid, doesn't get transported through the cells correctly. And so they accumulate on all of the major organs. So a lot of times people think, oh, it's just a kidney disease or it's just a, it affects all of the major organs. So like my son has had two kidney transplants. Who, Joel or Jonah? Joel. Joel. Okay. Yeah. He's had two kidney transplants. In his teenage years. He's remarkable. And now he's working hard to be an EMT, which is just- He's always been a little butt munch. Yeah. Give him some credit. The guy's on his- He deserves a lot of credit. Seventh kidney. My sister had a liver transplant when we were little. Oh, wow. And so I know what it's like to be like around that. The sibling. Yeah. Yeah. And just like what it's like. And it's kind of scary sometimes as a sibling because you don't exactly know what's going on. Right. Even though you get some information. It can be kind of- But you still can only process so much at that age. Yeah. You're a kid and it's kind of, it can be kind of alarming. And sometimes it was, I felt like we couldn't play with my sister because she would have like a lot of scars and stuff. And so that was kind of, that was different. So, but it was interesting, but yeah, she had a liver transplant and she's doing great. That's awesome. How does cystinosis kind of affect you like on a daily basis? Do you even feel it when you get up in the morning, Hannah? No. You don't even know about it? No. I just drink water and then I go eat. Eat, sleep, eat, drink. Be fabulous. Yeah. Happy 4th of July. And so, what is it, how does it, how do you see that it affects your mom anyways? You know, life for us is, I love the fact that she doesn't notice a lot. It means that maybe, you know, maybe as a family we might be doing something right. What am I posting on something? No. No, no. Because I take a shower, eat, sleep, watch TV, play, drink. Yeah. And then I go back to sleep. Oh, do you? Yeah. She finish it up with some sleep, huh? Mm-hmm. Do you dream at night or no? No. Hannah, don't lie. I'm not. Trust me. You talk in your sleep, Hannah. Oh. Yeah. Who are you talking to? I don't know. I mean, she just doesn't stop talking. It's just like anybody. I always just talk all the time. Oh, well, that's good. I'm glad you talk. People like hearing you talk. It's entertaining and it's fun. It is. What are some things about cystinosis that people don't know, just in general? Gosh, I don't think they know a lot. It's very rare. You're talking less than. They're like, how old are you? Like, I'm like nine. And then they're like, I thought you were four or one or two or three. Yeah. And I'm like, I don't look that short. Yeah. They thought you were one? Well, probably not one, but like at least three or four or five. The lady the other day in Ulta, she thought you were what? I think three. Did she say four? Yeah. That's bonkers. I don't even look four. No. Like, I feel that I'm tall, but I guess I'm not. Newsflash. We might not be. Hey, story of my life. We all want to be that tall, bad girl, you know? Or I mean, we all want to be like that. That one is like a giant. Yeah. Well, I'll tell you this. She had a lot of time. She was going to grow when she wasn't at school. Yeah. You know? She's been focusing on growth. And her friend Bella, she's like almost the size of me. She's like one foot taller. That's nothing. You could catch up in like two good night's sleeps. One foot. You could grow easily that much. I don't think so. This show is sponsored by Liquid IV.

Like my sister has to take like sort of like organ rejection medication so that like, uh, cause she got a transplant.

maybe they don't have an oven or something yeah but just get a pan and even put just like a lighter or candle under it you can do that so easily now yeah i see like you kind of like it feels like you're growing up kind of fast do you ever feel like that mom do you feel like she's growing up she's going older not me hand that wasn't directed yeah about me mom's doing great yeah but hannah's growing up so fast do you feel sometimes hannah like you're just growing up too fast no you think you're growing up at the right speed yep what do you see like another line of work like what's a real line of work that you want to get into one day like when you're driving down the road and you see a guy working in construction or you see a woman like fetching water from a well or milking an animal or something oh that one wants to have a farm i don't know why well she has she has a baking channel so she likes to bake so she could probably use ingredients yeah do you like ingredients like stuff to put in a cake yes uh yeah yeah you have to have those for like baking yeah i like this i like ingredients i've always liked them um but what's that line of work you see yourself getting into when you're driving a chef a chef okay and would your your restaurant obviously we know it's called seven days of pasta will there ever be a day where you'll have one other item that will be different than the other item that will be different than the other item that will be different like a special nope what's your well that's pickle pasta pickle pasta pickle boss like i like pickles but like not impossible like if someone wants like something like sour and like they can have that we'll do it i like that do you have bread do you have any appetizers even yeah what are some of the appetizers you're gonna have like maybe some shrimp and bread and oil i like that yeah my favorite food is pasta i like ravioli i love ravioli i also love olive garden you do what's your favorite thing about it uh the alfredo and the breadsticks yeah breadsticks are good yeah god sometimes i just want to put one in my mouth and have somebody come up and just hit it right down my face with a hammer my dream is like to put like my mouth under like the frozen yogurt machine and just like eat it yes girl okay but here's what i've heard my friend's done that and he gets so cold because that thing's very cold yeah you think you could handle it yeah i love cold just wear earmuffs yeah um one of your i saw a video of this one thing i learned about you i saw a video of you it was at a christmas shop and that was like a busy video that you guys had what happened there take me behind the scenes with some of this video let me see it really quick again what age was this when you were working hannah i know this is one of your early films i love this store what is this macy's that's macy's i love macy's i love places michaels where you can get crafts oh i love michaels we actually got a deal with michaels you do yeah i love that what are you gonna make over there we pretty much got like every deal in the world dang we haven't got apple you haven't got apple no we do you got apple you got an apple no we got like a like a computer like a pink computer and then we also got like um like airpods pretty much everything else for me in that box well i mean it was supposed to be no no as it should have been no what are some ways obviously mom is having trouble parenting when it comes to you is that safe to say you think uh she doesn't have any trouble she does a good job maybe no and if you were a parent how would what kind of what things would you do differently you think well if they would scream then i'll just put them up in the bathroom yeah and i'd lock the door yeah let me say every parent it's not legal but kind of like a dog well people do it you know people do it a lot um do you think you would teach your like what's like something that you would teach them like a thing you would try to instill in your kids so you they would know i would just put them in the bedroom out like a like a like a ginormous wall in the bedroom and then like lock the doors and then yeah they can never get out and they can never get out until they stop screaming okay so that's only if they scream cry do anything what what would be the things that you would do if they were good or to like help them be a good person yeah what would you do oh they can just move out yeah look if they want that kind of life they can hit the road and figure that out exactly We're keeping it 100 over here. Hannah, you know, people are wondering. I think a lot of people are like, what is she going to do next? Is she going to start a cartoon? Is she going to come out? Oh, definitely not a cartoon. I hate cartoons. Okay. That's out. So people quit wondering that. Yeah. Is she going to come out with her own, like, cookware? Is she going to come out with, like, maybe a special spatula? Well, I want my, like, my own cook show. Okay. Like, you know, those, like, those cook shows where they have to, like, get the ingredients, hurry up and cook. Kind of like those, like, I want to cook with, like, Bobby Filet and, like, their competition. Do you think Bobby Filet is a good chef? Yeah. You do? Yeah. Bring up Bobby Filet. His daughter's really, she's a newscaster. Anyway, I'm lonesome. I don't know why I said that. Let's keep going. Bobby. Bobby Filet, huh? And who else is on your chef list? Oh, the, uh, Nick? Yeah, Nick Giovanni. What is it about him and some of his recipes, or what is it? Um, he cooks really good pasta. I watch him all the time. You do? Mm-hmm. What's the big, the thing about the big Parmesan wheel that he has? So it's, like, a big Parmesan wheel. He, like, cars the inside, and then he, like, grabs, so, like, some of the, yeah, like, there. Let's see it. Can we see this in action? I'm just, I'm very curious. It's, it's really good. I, I've always wanted to try that. Well, I'm curious about it. That's all Parmesan? Yes. Yeah, the whole wheel. What is on the outside? Cheese, of course. That's the rind. Yeah. So. Right? Mm-hmm. Have you ever asked for, like, uh, what's something? I've always wanted that big wheel. She wants the whole wheel, yeah. Yeah, because, like, I've always wanted to make that recipe. And how much cheese do you need for that? Like, the whole wheel. Yeah. I mean, look at this guy right here. Is he carving a pumpkin? What is this? It's cheese. So he's trying to, like, open it, and, yeah. Honestly, Hannah, what's the most amount of cheese you think someone should be able to have? Um, that much right there. Do you think there should be a limit on how much cheese someone can have? They can have as much as they like. Because that's, like, really good cheese, and it makes, like, really good, like, Alfredo pasta. Like, you just have to add, like, milk, and then that cheese, and then melt it. Like, cook it, of course. And then, uh, you put the pasta in the pot, and the butter, and the Alfredo sauce. And then, once you've got your pasta in the thing, in the cheese, then you dump the Alfredo sauce in the cheese, Well, like, like, in the big circle, the wheel, the big wheel of cheese. And then you got, like, wait, like, um, he carved it in the inside, and then he, like, you put the pasta in. Okay. We're gonna need you to step out of the vehicle now, okay? That's all I'm saying is. Um. Yeah, look. Yeah, he is. Let me see it one more time. Let me see that. It's like a honeycomb of cheese. Yeah. He's gonna, yeah, he's putting the pasta in there. In the cheese? In the cheese? Yes. Oh, that's so good. God, that looks so good. I've always wanted that. Yeah, I, I just want some of that. God, it's almost like the cheese is, like, just taking a bath or something in there. Would you take a bath in cheese? Yes. Yeah, like, hey, mom, what do you mean? I would eat it, um, yeah. Yeah, eat, rest your head on it. Yeah. That'd be good. If you had a whole bed made out of cheese. Yeah. What kind of cheese are we talking? Uh, that cheese. Parmesan. Mm-hmm. Okay. Parmesan or Reggiana? Is that what that is? I'm pretty sure. I don't know. Yeah, I think so. Okay. I respect that. Um, do you have a favorite holiday, kind of? Christmas. It is? And what about it? But I hate the Grinch. Why? He's weird, and I don't like how he's green. And he, and he steals things from the kids. Yeah. Which is not cool. Yeah. Have you ever stolen anything? No. Well, I was stealing things from my sister and my brother, but. But they deserved it? Yeah. Where do you hide everything that you steal? How do I tell you? Yeah. Good call. Look, and that's how they try to trap you. They try to get the answers out of you. You have to be careful. Yeah. You know? Because one time I stole my sister's little mini unicorns, and I've been trying to get those for years, and I actually got them. Well, I've always got them. And then I put them in my fridge, but she finally found them. Now I'm going to try to steal them again. Yeah, she has a play kitchen that she, everybody knows, if they're missing something, they go straight to her play kitchen because she hides everything in the same spot. Well, if they keep on looking there, then I'll move them, and I'll put them somewhere different. I get it. Well, I have a new hiding spot. You don't move anything. I get it. I will now. Have you ever considered burying something in the yard? Well, then I'll literally never find it again. Do you think you'd forget? Yeah. I forget all the time. You do? I forget what I'm going to say. You've been traveling a lot, right? And have you? What's a place you've been that you really did not enjoy very much? And you can be honest with us. I literally don't even know. I like every place that I've been to. You do? Yeah. But I didn't like the place where we went to New York, where there's people sleeping on the road and stuff, and I'm on the sidewalk. People camping out and stuff? Yeah. It was kind of weird. Yeah. I'm just like, get a job. I'm like, who are you? Yeah. It's tough. It sucks for you. There's certain ways to look at it. And I think you have to figure all that out. You have to factor that in. What's something you and Hannah love to do together? We like to play Uno. Oh, I like Uno. We like to cook. Yeah. I mean, obviously, I'm not a great cook. Sometimes we. Mom, what do we eat together? Everything? What do you mean? Well, we pretty much eat. Yeah, we eat everything. Yeah. Well, you eat everything. Not a whole lot. Off the list. Yeah. Thanks. Yeah. Moms have to taste everything before their kids can make sure it's safe. It's like a quality issue. It's important. Making sure they're not, like, poisoning, you know? It's pretty important. Yeah, because you want to eat it. There's no poison in the food that you make. You never know. What's the worst food you've ever had, you think, Hannah? Uh-huh. I knew you were going to say that. It's okay. Mexican food and Indian food. Yeah. What was it about them? Well, I don't like. I don't like. I just don't like. Look, I actually do like the tacos, and I like the, like, the guacamole and stuff. Yeah. But, like, I don't like anything else. The tacos and the what is it? Tacos and guacamole. Yes. But my dad says he's going to eat a banana. A banana and an avocado in the morning. Why? I don't know. He's like, honey, did you get the banana and avocado? He was going on a diet, right? Yeah. Yeah. And his dad, um. Does dad like to diet? Does he like to. What does dad like to do for fun? Uh, he likes to fix his car. But instead of fixing the car, he likes to break the car instead. Instead of fixing it. Yeah. That's dad. That's dad, you know? What's a regular day at school? Like, Hannah, are you still going to school? Uh, yeah. If I'm not in high school, I drop out like Grace. Is that true, Grace? Yes. She literally dropped out of school. It's okay, Grace. A lot of my family is not even. They're not all the way done yet. That's how we say it. Do you have, like, some close friends at school? What's it like over there? Well, I actually do homeschooling. You do? Yeah. And who's your teacher? Uh, her name is Miss Sarah the Evil Queen. She calls her teacher the Evil Queen, yes. It's true. Because she is evil. She's forcing me to do homework. But that's her job. She's a teacher. So she's getting paid to do this? You're right. Huh. Why do we pay people to do pure evil? Yeah. I agree. Great question. Huh. It's a great question. Well, I just want to talk. Um, Dawn, you stay super busy. No. Huh. I knew that was coming, too. She sits down all the time. She does nothing. She has to be doing something. She's not. What? She's not. Dawn, tell us the truth. She always cleans up my toys. She cleans them up? Yeah, she cleans my toys. No, only my toys, though. Only the toys. Sorry, only clean the toys. Mommy the Evil Queen. Well, what are some things that, uh, what are some things, though, that you're working on, like, behind the scenes right now? Like, what are some stuff that people don't know that's going on? Yeah. Well. Because of all of this, and I realized we had an opportunity to have a little bit of a platform and a little bit of a voice, I always wanted to start our own foundation, something that would leave a legacy for the kids and, um, that would help other families like ours. So, that's what we've been working on, and we just launched it yesterday. We're super excited about. What are we? Oh, Mom, are you going to give him the present? Congratulations. Yes. This is the Strickland Hope Foundation. Thank you. Yeah. So, we're excited. You know, when we were going through. It took almost two years to find out with my son, because they have the same condition. So, it took. almost two years oddly enough it somebody the driver said um have y'all been in nashville before and i was like i couldn't think about it is i think i blocked it out my son got his diagnosis at vanderbilt wow so we didn't know what was wrong with him and we just kept going but mom going so remember when i clogged up the shower and the hotel yeah she flooded the whole bathroom today oh yeah because i really wanted a bath but they didn't have a bath so i just you know made into a bath i think you have to do that sometimes we um so why we started the trickle and hope foundation so so both so your son had this um joel joel with the red hair yep so joel had cystinosis he's a butt munch he still does and he's obviously a turd munch or whatever what is he uh bucket head turd bucket yeah sorry yeah anyway we're back to him and sorry joel i know you're not here to defend yourself but that's what happens you send your siblings out yeah and you don't go with them bro you face the wrath but here's my question is um so you didn't even know it was hard to know what the diet it was hard to get diagnosed absolutely what do you think was going on well we knew it was serious um he was treated for the wrong condition for seven months at a different children's hospital um but so we had yeah pretty much that's what they they literally i mean she laughs about it but like they just kept saying um it was a working diagnosis and i was like oh my god i'm gonna die i'm gonna die i'm gonna so anyway when long story short when we found out what it was i mean we went through a lot and it's it's challenging i mean i suppose you would understand some of that too and i remember one of the first things when when he faced his first transplant um they one of the first things they said were you know like how are you going to pay for this are you going to start a gofundme and that was like the biggest slap in the face like so now i've got to go beg for money to make sure that my kid can have a transplant um and we had excellent insurance listen i'm not saying i'm not long story short i just vowed that no other family dealing with a chronic condition is enough yeah that's enough and that's enough stress and that's enough um stress on a relationship on the family dynamics on the siblings um so that's my mission i just i want to be there to help in tangible ways whether it be financial whether they need medical equipment whether they need therapy services counseling if the mother and father needs counseling to deal with this new diagnosis they should be able to have that um if a family is functioning and functioning well and they are whole and they are taken care of then they can be good caregivers and that's the most important thing is making sure that each each member of the family is taken care of so yeah it's a lot i mean i remember i would go to like ronald mcdonald house and stay over there and um and um over the years i've gone there and just like done like just like like uh you can go there and i kind of volunteer to help them but i'm not going to do that i'm not going to do that hang out and sometimes it looks tough to be over there but just seeing what families do right and what it's like to have a family be around something that um that happens that is like a surprise to your family a medical surprise right um and so the foundation will help support people that need these extracurriculars kind of yes absolutely um we're still working out everything as far as what we will help out with but um i've been in this we've lived with this for long enough i know firsthand and i also know you know from having friends in our little community um often they need help with paying bills you know lots of times um the the spouse now needs to stay home and take care of the child so you lose that second income what does that look like i want to help provide if you need to go to a community college or wherever i want to have my jacket okay yeah that's great and get training or certificate so that you can work from home and now make money from home whatever it is again how do you make money from home i don't know i don't know i don't make money yeah not not me yeah because we're not seeing any of it right yeah so just help them in any way possible you know lots of times there's programs for co-pays and things like that but there are so many gaps just do you need help babe she you want to give it to gracie grace or just grace don't throw it there's help out please come on half of them we know you've taken off of school but i know high school dropout so we're still figuring out exactly how the hope foundation will help but we know it's going to help um uh families in ways that they're affected uh that they may not even see coming and ways that you guys have had experience with yes because we have had listen it's embarrassing we've had to ask for money before we've had to borrow money um it's embarrassing it's degrading it's stressful and the thing about it is you're you're already concerned you're a parent who's going through a lot whether it's new or whether you've been walking this road for a few years you you know you're tired you often go without sleep you're sleep deprived and you don't make good decisions when you're so after so my mom said if i did good on this show that i could also get like a 3ds a 3ds is like it's like an old game and i'm like it's like an old game and i'm like it's like an old nintendo switch that i've also really wanted for a long time and my brother has one okay and um it's really cool so i've always wanted one of those and hopefully i get one of those so you're just making sure we were she remembers that she's like let me call you out in front of him i think was that yeah you should be an attorney i think yeah okay so that so just so we know and it's called the it's called strickland hope foundation strickland hope foundation yes and um and we're just getting it started yep um we'll keep us posted yeah so we can help donate at some point yeah i hope you'll keep us give him a present you guys got a present for me yes i do i will i'll give him a present when whenever he thinks it's appropriate what is something that you really admire about each person in your family uh so that one um something you love make it real yeah something real that you love about each one okay so jonah actually plays with me okay so you like that jonah plays with you that's pretty much all each one you have to do all right joel what's something you love about joel um i guess he makes fun of me does he like to laugh he's so funny he is he's extremely funny so he makes you laugh no oh yes no he makes you laugh he never makes you laugh no never never ever well here's one of the questions i have hannah is that there's a lot of rumors like a lot of like influencers and people in the media and personalities and stuff like you like someone like you are like kind of like are going to they're sending them to outer space they sent katie perry to outer space last one last year you believe that i don't but for the sake of this question for the sake of this question she did not go there you think she lied yes outer space led yeah outer space lied you're right but here's the question is if they set you up nice they give you a nice first class seat you're headed outer space would you go to outer space no why i just don't want to i want to stay at home you could miss something important in outer space so i don't care about outer space what are you going to do at home eat sleep we've been over this oh yeah big fact you're right who's your best friend let's get that out of you here hannah who's your best and where's she at today um i think she's at home writing

little bit more about your baking channel do you do it just for fun is it a hobby bring it back up so it's like um i started it because my dad when he would go to work um he and he loved coming home and i remember his other mom or dad they bought like a baking kit off of amazon and i was like and i just started baking this is in our old house and i just it just kind of started and then My mom made my channel. I like it. It was good. She made it when I was, like, 11 to just document everything. One time, I made a cake. It was, like, a Nutella cake. And I added, like, Nutella on it. And that was probably the first cake I ever made. And my brother actually thought it was pretty good. Did he? Yeah. So I didn't actually know how to make frosting. But I added Nutella for the frosting. And then the cake was actually chocolate vanilla. And then I also put, like, some strawberries and, like, maybe some blueberries on the top. And that was really good. Okay. That sounds very good. And take us through this cake really quick, Grace. Okay. So the sand was actually graham crackers. So I was making two cakes this day. It was actually really chaotic. So it was due the next day. But this is a SpongeBob one. Due for who? Like, the cake lord or whatever? I actually. Like, who? The dark dessert wizard or something? Who forced you to make two cakes in one day? It was actually kind of crazy. It was for a teenager my age. For two big cakes. I'm like, gosh. I don't think she actually meant to give, like, two cakes. Okay. Yeah. So this one was really fun to make, though. I made the toppers and stuff. Because not out of creativity, but out of. But I didn't have the toppers that I needed. Is this a SpongeBob cake? Yeah. Oh, that's great. What do you love about baking? Or is it just kind of a hobby? I don't know. It's just a fun thing to do. Like, cake kind of does bring people together. Like, it's always at a celebration, a wedding, a birthday. And to be a part of somebody's life like that is really fun. Oh, this is an Easter cake? Yeah. That whole thing's a cake? Yeah. Oh, that's pretty dope. Yeah. Do you think that Hannah is a good judge of good desserts, of cakes? Yeah, I do like cake. She says random things. Like, she'll say something that doesn't match the description. Like, mysterious and spicy. She'll say sweet and spicy for a cake. Grace, let's be honest here. That's all on one hand. Is that all you want? Is for Grace to be honest here? Yes. Yeah. That's pretty honest. Okay, Hannah, how would you describe that cake? It was good. I did like it. I actually liked the basket. It actually turned out better than on my mind, I think. Okay. Do you remember when I made that? I do not, actually. I don't think I was born at that time. Okay. I think, no, I was, actually. Was she born? Yeah, she was born. How long ago was it? I think it was two years ago. Two years ago. Okay, so. But I needed something to post, so it's okay. And how old are you now? Nine. I was six at that time. So, yeah. Let's just look at the truth. Oh, and what's your channel? What's your channel called, Grace? Graceful Purposeful Art. Oh, Graceful Purposeful Art. I'll subscribe for sure. Thank you. So, it's my birthday, so what I wanted to do was, I want to try out three different of my favorite dessert, which is? Tiramisu. Yep. Correct. I want to try out three different ones, and then we all decide which one is our favorite. That's a good idea. Yeah. And I thought, Hannah, and I thought, Hannah, you could let us know which one is the best. Okay. Okay? Yeah. And we could all put on shades for this if we won. Yeah, great idea. We wouldn't normally do this, but I have to step into this episode because the editing got just confusing when we tried to have Hannah come in to have birthday cake and pick out some desserts from our area that she would enjoy.

For dinner? Yes. That's a great question. I know there's like a good steak place. That sounds good. There's a place that has good barbecue. Wow. There's a place that has some kind of new age cuisine with like fish. And then there's like a good cheeseburger place. They have a place that has salmon. There's a place that also serves. She likes salmon. Just throw her under the aquarium, huh? I don't like salmon. A lot of people have known it's tough to imagine. Yeah. It's tough to imagine. Like, who likes salmon anymore? Who's eating salmon these days with everything that's going on? You know? Yeah, I don't like salmon. It's disgusting. I liked it when things were more chill. Yeah, like, I like rice and salmon. But, like, I don't like just salmon. Oh, if salmon stops by by itself, bro, I'm out. Yeah. You know? Yeah. So, I don't know what I would recommend. There's some good restaurants, though. Yeah, I really like, um, what do I like? I like, I really love mashed potatoes, omelets. Mm-hmm. This morning for breakfast, we actually, I had an omelet, a pancake. So, I got a pancake. It's like, uh, mumble. What was it called? Um, it was actually an oat cake. It was an oat cake. Yeah. But a pancake. Yeah. And, um. Was it good? Yes, it was really good. Oh, God, I want that. And, uh, I put, like, I put, like, a lot of fruit on the top. Mm-hmm. And then I poured some maple syrup on it and then butter. Mm-hmm. Well, the butter was first. First. First. Um, yeah. Amen. Amen.

Do you always have something to say or sometimes you don't? Grace, how about you say something? Why do you always chuck it to me? Yeah, Grace, what's your problem? Yeah. Yeah. What? What's your problem? Sorry. Sorry. Sorry. No, I actually can't hear. I can hear. You can't hear? Oh, my God, dude. That one can't hear anymore. She can't even see good?

This is great. That's funny, actually. But this is great, having a Niceville shirt. Because I don't even think it exists. When you said that, it made me think of, um. And growing up, people would always say, um, when I'd say, oh, I'm from Niceville, they'd say Nashville. We'd say, no, not Nashville, Niceville. Niceville. Oh, yeah, it sounds like Nashville. Niceville. Niceville. Nashville. Nashville. Nice. Nashville. Can you speak with a Mexican accent, Hannah? I don't know how, actually. I don't. But try it. I don't know how. Hey, what's happening?
