Like, if they got you a gift and it would have been like really bad, what would that be? - Listen, I gotta think about that. What would have been a really bad gift? - What if we got you an Apple Watch? Would you be like, "No, thanks." - I would be like, "No, thanks." But if you gave me a regular one, but I already have one. - You don't like Apple Watches, though. - No, but no, 'cause you gotta charge them, so regular watches are better. - Yeah, yeah, it's true. - Cash, you didn't even hear the story. We were downstairs, and his mom was telling us that he had an Apple Watch, and then like two weeks ago, we go by, and he's like, "Oh, yeah, I threw that away." - I threw it away. - That's crazy. - He was having trouble with it. - Yeah, yeah, I was having trouble with it. - He threw it in the trash can. - So I threw it away.

You know what, that's a hard answer, 'cause I don't remember a lot of other bad gifts that I've gotten. - You've never thrown any other ones away? - No. - No. - No, I don't think I've ever gotten any bad gifts. - What about clothes? Do you like getting clothes or no? - Yes, I can close. - Oh, yeah. - I also like getting candy and gum on my birthdays. - Yeah, yeah. - And money, yeah, yeah. - Money. - I like money, too. - That's true. - What's your favorite thing to buy? - Let's see, well, the truth is I like saving my money. - Oh, really? - Oh, wow, you're way more responsible than Cash is. - Yeah. - And I like getting mountain bikes on my birthdays. - Mountain bikes? - Mountain bikes? - I want one on my birthday when I turn 35. - Really? - That's awesome. - Yep, yep. - How old are you right now? - 27, I'll be 28 this November. - Oh, wow. - So you, but when you're 35, you want a mountain bike? - Yes, and candy, gum, and money. That's what I want. - Candy, gum, and money? - Oh. - Would you, well, why can't you get a mountain bike before you're 35? - Because I live in Columbia for 15 years, and that's why I'm gonna go mountain biking with some of my friends, with my friends some days. - Oh, when you live in Columbia? - Yes, yes, yes. - Oh. - Maybe in April. - How come you're moving to Columbia when you're 35? - Because, oh, there's this hotel in Columbia called The Lantern, just like the Sherb's Hotel, and they both hire people with disabilities to go and work in them, the Sherb's Hotel and The Lantern. - Yeah. - And I got my plan to move to Columbia while I'm 35, work at The Lantern, and live in Columbia for 15 years, then move back home to St. Matthews and retire at 50. That's why. - Wow. - That's a good one. - That's a good plan. - My mom gave me that plan. - You have a great plan, Seth. - That is a good one. - I don't think any of us have a plan that hard. - No. - That's okay, that's okay. - Yeah, Harper's only 17, so she's got some time. - You still got time, Harper. - Yeah, I hope I have time, but yeah. - Did you see her car? - No, I did not. Wait, did we see her car when we were outside? - The pink one. - The pink one. - Yes. - It's a nice car, it's a good car. - Thank you, thank you, yes, I love it. And I saw that y'all made a little message for the Ring camera, what did y'all say? What did we say, mom? I forgot. - We talked about lipstick on my teeth. - Oh! - Lipstick on my teeth. - Lipstick on my mom's teeth. - Really, really, that's so funny. You know, I used to make little notes or whatever it's called for the Ring camera, but I stopped doing that. I need to start doing it again. - You should, it's funny. - Yeah, yeah. - Tanner, while you were on Love on the Spectrum, did you get to travel a lot? - I did get to travel a lot. - Where all did you go? - I went to Mexico and Thailand and New York. - What was Mexico like? - So it was so cool. So when we were in Mexico, me and my mom, Midge, me and Midge went down the water slides, and we rode four wheelers through the jungle. - Hey! - Yep, and I swam in the ocean. - That's so fun. - And they showed me a pool. There was a swim up too, a bar drink where you can get Coke and water. And I ate lasagna and pizza. Oh my God, there were ice cream and tacos and hamburgers. - Oh, he likes tacos and hamburgers. - Yeah. - Sounds good. - Sounds like Maverick's type of place. - Tanner, I saw a video of you meeting a celebrity that just happens to be Harper's favorite celebrity ever. - Who, who? - Ariana Grande. - Hi, Ariana. I just saw you. Do you want to answer for a hug? - Dude, I hugged with a drink. Is that okay? - Is that okay? - Yeah. - Yeah, Ariana Grande, right? - You're lying. Are you kidding? - Do you think I'm lying or Kate? - Well, both of y'all. What do you mean you met Ariana Grande? - 'Cause I did meet her in New York. 'Cause we were at the Wicked premiere. We were at the Wicked premiere. - Was she nice? - She was nice, yeah. - Wow, like what was y'all's interaction? - She watched me and Conor on the show and she's very cute and beautiful and she was very tiny. - She's very small. - She's very tiny. - Is she around my height? - Kind of. Would you say that she's around Harper's height? - You met her. - Yeah, I kind of, 'cause you're very tiny. - Oh, thank you. Thank you. - Does that fit you? - No, no, no. I like to be small. - And you're in good shape. You're in good shape, Harper. - Thank you. Wow, this is like the best compliment I've ever gotten. I mean, I wouldn't want to be called big, so I guess tiny's better. - Yeah, tiny's better than big. - Yeah. - No, no, no. But Ariana Grande is very tiny and nice. - Yes. - That's so cool. - She's in good shape just like all of us. - Yeah, all of us are in great shape. Yeah, that's crazy. That's so cool. - Except for Cash. - Yeah, but Cash isn't in good shape. - You think so? - Yeah, he's not fat. - Okay. - You're not fat, Cash. - Good, they always say I am, so you know, I never know. - Oh, that's mean to say that Cash is fat. - Yeah. - Thank you. - It's just a joke, Cash. Come on. - Well, that joke is not nice. - Oh, yeah, okay. We won't say that. We won't say that anymore. - Okay. - It's mean to call someone fat. - Yeah. - So, I've never watched Love on the Spectrum, so tell me what it's about. - So, it's about people with disabilities updating and finding love. - Okay, did you find love? - I did not. - Oh, you didn't? - Nope. - Oh, well, that's okay. I haven't found love either. - Yeah, maybe we can try in the future. But wait, so what-- - You had friends who found love, right? - Yes, Madison and Tyler. - Oh my gosh, we were so obsessed with them during the show. - I know who she was, Kate. - We were so excited because me and Kinsey and Abigail, you know, all watched the new season together and we were literally crying when he proposed to her. - Wait, they're married? - They're engaged. - They're engaged. - Wow. - Yes, but I was saying that every man in the world needs to watch that season and look at how Tyler treats Madison and take some notes because he treats her so good. But are they pretty good friends of yours? Yes, they're pretty good friends of mine. Yeah, I saw you went to the engagement party with them. I did, I did. Yeah. Was that a fun time? It was a fun time. What all did y'all get to do? So we saw each other, we talked with each other, and we looked at some things out on the lake, and we ate dinner together. That's so fun. Do you have any dating advice for Harper? Yeah, I need help. So when you go on a date, if you have a boyfriend one day, Harper, so whenever you go to the bathroom, sometimes you should hold the door for your boyfriend. Okay, okay, okay. He should hold the door for you when you go to the bathroom. Okay, okay. And remember, when you're eating together, you gotta eat nicely. And not like snacking. And not snacking. No, none of that, no. And sometimes when you don't have anything to say, just to tell your boyfriend, I'm having fun. Okay. And I'm enjoying your company, but I'm just not talking because I don't have anything to say right now. That's a good idea. I like your honesty. I always have like an awkward moment where I'm like, oh, what do I say? So like instead of having an awkward moment, I should be like, oh, I'm actually having a lot of fun right? Right. Yeah. That's good. Okay. Okay, I'm going to use that in the future. Because you're actually, something I noticed about you is whenever you have like an awkward silence moment. I always have awkward silences. It's so bad. She's always like, uh, so insane. I'm having a good time would be a better option. Okay, but like if I'm on the podcast and it's awkward, should I just be like, I'm having a fun time? Yes, we need to adopt that. Yeah, we should all just do that from now on because we always have awkward silences. So thank you for that. Tanner, I also noticed that your faith is a very, very big part of your life. It is. Yeah? Yeah. Are you hoping to one day maybe find a girl that also is a Christian like you? I mean, well, a friend who's a Christian. Oh, okay. Okay. A friend who's a Christian? Yes. Are you not trying to find like a girlfriend? No. No. I don't really want a boyfriend either. That's okay. That's okay. Yeah. Yeah. I kind of, I'm having a fun time. All right. Do you still have the same roommates that you did on season one? No. No, not anymore? Yeah. Do you live alone now or do you? I do. Oh, you do? Oh, that's so fun. Do you like living alone? I do like living alone. Yeah. Oh, that's so cool. Do you have way more responsibilities now though? Yes, I have way more responsibilities now. But it sounds like you're pretty good at cleaning, which is like, I feel like when you live alone, that's a really big responsibility. Like one of the biggest ones. Oh, yes. Is to be clean. Yeah. Oh, yes. Yeah. I'm clean. Yeah. Good. Have you ever watched our podcast before? We watched some of it this morning. Oh, yeah? Didn't we, mom? Didn't we, mom? Did you like it? I did like it. Yes, gosh. What was your favorite part on it? Which parts did we watch, mom? Which was your favorite game that you watched? Oh. What was it? I forgot. The hot potato one. The hot potato one. The hot potato one. I said that it was my favorite was the hot potato one. Do you want to play hot potato? Yes. No. Yes? No. Don't hurt her. No. It shocks you. It's scary. It doesn't hurt you though. It's just a little shock. It's a little shock. We'll put it on the lower setting, guys. Where is our, do we have that hot potato somewhere? I have no idea. I'm asking for it right now. It's probably in our garage of toys. We have a lot of them. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. We'll see if we still have the potato that they'll bring it up here in a minute. Yeah. So is love on the spectrum still on that? Oh boy. Yeah, it is. I'm going to watch it. I don't know if it works. Have you ever played hot potato? Oh yes. It went with a few of my friends at OCA, hot Brandon and Noah. Hey, have you played with the ones that electrocute you? I haven't. Are you excited about that? I'm excited about that. Yeah. I'm not. Yes. Yes. Then the normal one plays the sound, right? Let me see it real quick. Okay. Don't, don't turn it on yet. I'm so scared. Wait, we should do a category. So, uh, yeah, yeah. Okay. So we're going to play the extreme version. Oh my. Yes, Kat. No. Tanner is for it. You want extreme, extreme, lame or normal version? Let's see. Uh, normal. Okay. That's a safe option. Thank you for being the reason. All right. So how it works is I'm going to press the button and then it's going to start playing music and we're going to catch it. And then you got to name any restaurant, just any restaurant. And then once you name a restaurant, you can pass it to the next person. Okay. So Tanner picked a category. Or yeah. What category? Don't pick dinosaurs. I won't. Can it be like monsters? Sure. Monsters? I don't know any monsters though. Or how about colors? Yes. That's good. That's good. That's a good one. Okay. I like that we went from monsters to colors. I kind of think you should do monsters. Okay. But what? Monsters is the second round. Monsters. So you just grab it and I'll say like blue and then Kate will grab it and she'll say yellow. And then once somebody names a color, you can't say that one anymore. This is turned off, right? I'm not going to get shocked. Okay. Ready? So as soon as you think of a color, you can pass it off. It's not turned off. It says it's on. No. Yeah. It's on. No. You got to click start though. It hasn't turned on. Okay. So Kenzie's going to start and then we're going to go this way and then Matt will throw it to Kenzie. And once a color is named, you're not allowed to name that one anymore. Okay. All right. Ready? Okay. Ready? And start. Red. Pink. Wait. Is it started? I pressed the start button. I think it's broken. Is it broken? I'm not nervous. I'm nervous. Wait. Are you nervous about Maverick? It's shocking. Actually, I am a little nervous, but I can do it. I can do it. You got it. I'm tough. Yeah. You're tough, Tanner. It's not bad. It's pretty bad. Well, it might be broken. No way. I think our potato is broken. Oh. Oh, there it is. Oh. But did it shock you? It's on. It's going to just shock him out of nowhere. Yeah. I hope it doesn't shock me. Okay. It's on. Here we go. Okay. It's on. - Okay, let's get started. - Blue. - Okay. - All right. Now, let's see. - Green. - White. - White. - Red. - Orange. - Orange. - Purple. - Pink. - Uh, green. - Okay. - Yellow. - I don't know what color, but it didn't hurt that bad. It was scary though. - All right, let's try one more time. - I hope not to. - Dana, you were gonna get shocked. - Is that glue bad? - Let's do it different. - That's bad. - That's bad. - You don't wanna get shocked. - You don't wanna be holding the potato when it shocks you. - You wanna go super fast. - Right, gotcha. - Wait, but we should do a different category though. - Monsters though. - Monsters? I don't know a monster. - Oh, you know monsters. - This is fun, guys. - Cash, this is fun. - Yeah. - How many monsters do you know? - A lot. - Oh, gosh. - Can you name, can you give me one? - Sully. - Sully. - Okay. - Ready? - Sully. - What the? - Goose. - Um, uh, a, uh, I, I don't know. - A green person. - What the? - What the? - Oh my gosh. - Did it shock you, Matt? - Yeah. - Did it hurt? - All right, this guy, this is kind of a fun game because when you hold it a long time, it shocks you. That's kind of funny. - Okay, we're gonna play one more time. Give us one more topic. - Okay, do you like the categories? - Yeah. - Birds. - Okay, all right. - Look at him, he's the best. - I can do birds. - He just lit up. - He loves birds. He's a bird expert. All right, ready? Here we go. - Blue jay. - Ducks. - Parrot. - A red tail. - Goose. - Gardinal. - Uh, a penguin. - Swans. - Chicken. - Peregrine. - What did you just say? Eagle. - Ah, ball eagle. - Why'd you say that? - Goose. - Eagles. - I don't know, I, uh, donkey. - Oh, oh. - I don't know. - Donkey? - I don't know, I don't know. I don't know any birds. - All right, we don't need this anymore. - Tanner, you seem like you know a lot of birds. - I do, I know a lot of birds. - Do you know a lot of animals in general? - Yes, yes. - That's so cool. Did you know that Maverick used to have a bird? - That's so cool. What kind of bird was it, Maverick? - I did falconry. - That's so cool. - So I had a red tail hawk. - That's so cool. Yeah, it was fun. Was it nice? - He caught it. - Uh, sometimes. Sometimes it was nice. One of them tried to kill me, I swear. - Why? How did it try to kill you? - It was getting frustrated one day, and then it just came out of the sky and just hit me in the back of the head. - Oh my God. - He probably did. - Have you ever been attacked by an animal? - Well, I used to chase geese, and they used to chase me back until they tried to peck me. But I'm not gonna chase geese anymore. - No. - Geese are mean. - I got bitten on the finger by a mouse when I was a little boy. - Really? - I got kicked by a horse. - You got kicked by a horse? - I got bit by a horse once. - Oh, I'm sorry. - Yeah, it hurt. - You know what are mean? Those spitting animals. Alpacas or whatever. - Are they camels? Is camels the one that spit? - No, I think it's the alpacas - Alpacas spit. - And llamas, they're rude. - Really? - And the rudest animal is like those geese. - Yeah. - Yeah, I don't like geese. - What's your favorite animal, Tanner? - A gorilla. - A gorilla? - Wow. - Cash loves gorillas. - I love gorillas. I went to the zoo before just to stare at them. - That's so cool. - Yeah. - Do you like the zoo? - I do like the zoo. - Do you stare at the gorillas? - Yes. - Y'all should go to the zoo together. - You guys are bonding. - I like this. - I like staring at the gorillas at the zoo. - Y'all should go together one day. - Is that your favorite animal to look at there? - Yes, yes. - Yeah. - What about if there was a T-Rex there though? - That would be so cool if a T-Rex was there. - So would you like the gorilla or T-Rex better then? - The both, because I like gorillas and T-Rexes. - Oh, okay. - There you go. - Do you think dinosaurs are real? - Well, they were, but they're extinct now. - Yeah. - Some people think that dinosaurs were never real. - Gotcha. - They think it was a myth. - They think what? - Oh, what's a myth? - Like a- - Like fake, like Bigfoot. - Something that's not real. - Gotcha, gotcha. - But dinosaurs are real. - Do you believe in aliens? - I don't, they're not real. - Yeah. - But birds are related to dinosaurs. - That's true. - Yeah, yeah. - Wait, what? I didn't know that. - Yeah. - Birds are related to dinosaurs? - Like pterodactyls. - Oh, I see. - Yeah. - Okay, that makes sense. - I feel like an alligator should pass as a dinosaur. - I think so. - It is. - Yeah. - Is it? - Yeah. - Really? - Really? - Do you know that or are you just saying? - No, I think he's right. - No, no, alligators are, they've lived like as long as dinosaurs, but they're- dinosaurs too and crocodiles 'cause they're reptiles. - Yeah. - That's actually probably true. - Tanner. - What's up? - If we were on an airplane and it was only us sitting on the airplane and you had to pick one person to drive the plane, who would you pick? - Maverick. - Wow! - Is it 'cause his name is Maverick? - Yes. okay who would you pick as the co-pilot cash yes okay you don't think you
