00:00Good morning.
00:01It's the Andy Summer Show and happy Father's Day weekend.
00:06Jeff and Donnie are both out today, but we're excited to be celebrating Father's Day with
00:12everybody starting a little bit early because it's going to be a great weekend for it, right?
00:16Yeah.
00:17So Shannon and I were talking about this yesterday a little bit.
00:22I think it's different when you're a girl with a like and both of our dads are girl
00:28dads.
00:29Yeah, only no brothers from us.
00:31Right.
00:31And I feel like I was probably the son that my dad knew, right?
00:37Yeah, the last one comes along and it's like, okay, I'm just going to make this kid the boy
00:42because it's just what has to happen.
00:45Josh, though, who's filling in for Shannon, who's actually here.
00:49Oh, hi.
00:49Yeah, I'm here.
00:50Josh, not a girl.
00:51You are a son.
00:52Yes.
00:53Yeah.
00:53Prodigal son.
00:54Yeah.
00:54Yeah.
00:55Okay.
00:55Well, good to know.
00:56Right.
00:56We all play our roles and our families.
00:58But we would love to hear your dad's stories this morning.
01:02I know one of the things that I really appreciated about my dad when I was growing up was, this
01:09is going to sound really silly, but when I was little and it was time for me to go to
01:14bed, my mom would like, I would go to bed and my mom would give me kisses goodnight and
01:19whatever and do our whole routine.
01:20We would pray together and everything and she would leave.
01:22And then I would not be able to sleep until my dad came upstairs from his lazy boy where
01:27he would be drinking a beer and smoking his pipe, right?
01:30And then he would make his way upstairs into my bedroom and he would tuck me in.
01:34I had a twin size bed and he would reach over and tuck me in on the wall side and
01:40then tuck
01:41tuck me in on the outside so that my sheets were perfectly and I was like, you know, he
01:47was, he was a Marine.
01:49So this is what he had to do.
01:51Right.
01:51Where you could like bounce a quarter.
01:53Yeah.
01:53So like he, you literally, even with me in the bed, he would make it in a way that I
01:58couldn't
01:58move.
01:59And I, and I still love my sheets like that to this day.
02:02You love being wrapped up in that little cocoon.
02:04Yes.
02:05Yes.
02:05Where it's just like nothing moves.
02:07I don't want to move.
02:08I don't want my sheets to move.
02:09I can't handle a wrinkle in my bed.
02:11Like I'm so, I'm like the princess of the pea that way.
02:14But like I go, every time I go to bed, I think about my dad, like tucking me in like
02:19that.
02:19Right.
02:19Like it's just one of those funny little things, a little dadism for me.
02:23Wait, my dad memory is about a bed too.
02:26How funny.
02:27So when I, my dad's a builder and a fixer, like he, you know, has the tools, the physical
02:35tools to fix and build anything you can imagine.
02:38When I was moving into college, I had a twin size bed in my dorm room and it was very,
02:44very
02:44low to the ground.
02:45But the, I guess the, the poles were, were taller on top of the bed than they were below.
02:51So I couldn't stick anything under my bed.
02:53So my dad brought his toolkit when I was moving in and completely like rearranged the bed so
03:00it could flip over the other side and I could have this like little loft bed.
03:06And then other girls were walking by my dorm room like, wait, how did you do that?
03:09And I said, oh yeah, my dad did it.
03:11Dad, can you go?
03:12And he was in all the dorm rooms.
03:14No way.
03:14Switching out their beds.
03:16Yeah.
03:16And I also want to, um, oh, this is going to make me, okay, um, wish happy Father's
03:23Day to my pup up who lives down in Florida and I just saw him recently and, um, he's
03:30a really tough man, but like when it comes to me and my mom and my sister, like he just
03:36like shatters for us and, um, he's the only person that calls me Shani.
03:41So, or like, that's the one that means the most to me.
03:44Yeah.
03:45Like, you know, he just really softens up for us.
03:47So I have those two very important men in my life.
03:50I love that.
03:50I love that.
03:51That's great.
03:51I mean, I'll just stay on the bed topic too then.
03:54I, I, my dad would stay up late watching TV and I just wanted to, he would say good
04:01night to me, but I was just wanted to stay up to talk to him a little bit longer.
04:05So he would check on me when he was done watching TV to make sure I was like in bed
04:10and all taken
04:10care of and I would stay awake for two hours, probably like just waiting for him to come
04:16by my room and see if I was asleep or not.
04:18Just so I could say good night to him again.
04:20Again.
04:20Yes.
04:21Oh my gosh.
04:22He'd be like, why are you not sleeping yet?
04:25Yeah.
04:25Oh my gosh.
04:27And yeah, he probably doesn't even know, right?
04:29He probably doesn't even know that like you literally stayed awake just to see him one
04:33more time.
04:33I would keep myself up just to, just to say good night again.
04:36Dads are so special.
04:38We can't wait to hear your story.
