00:00:16.239 --> 00:00:20.480
Welcome to We Are the Hansons, the podcast where marriage, parenting,

2
00:00:20.719 --> 00:00:25.399
and the chaos of raising thirteen kids collide. Join us,

3
00:00:25.559 --> 00:00:29.440
a husband and wife duo with over twenty two years

4
00:00:29.480 --> 00:00:33.119
of love and laughter as we've dived into the highs,

5
00:00:33.520 --> 00:00:37.960
the lows, and everything in between. From tips and tricks

6
00:00:38.039 --> 00:00:43.439
to keep your sanity to raw, honest moments that remind

7
00:00:43.520 --> 00:00:46.640
us that we're all human. This is your front row

8
00:00:46.679 --> 00:00:51.320
seat to family life Hansen style. Let's navigate this wild

9
00:00:51.399 --> 00:00:56.719
ride together. I am Jeremy Hansen. I'm the husband in

10
00:00:56.719 --> 00:00:57.719
this affair, and you.

11
00:00:57.640 --> 00:00:59.280
Are Maya Hansen.

12
00:01:00.159 --> 00:01:03.000
Yeah, may and Jeremy, Jeremy and my. I don't know.

13
00:01:03.079 --> 00:01:06.799
I like Jeremy and Maya. What do you like better?

14
00:01:07.719 --> 00:01:08.560
I am Jeremy.

15
00:01:08.799 --> 00:01:11.640
So this we've had a lot that kind of brought

16
00:01:11.719 --> 00:01:16.159
us to this. I mean, we've both been lucky enough

17
00:01:16.200 --> 00:01:23.040
to spend twenty two years together. We were friends before that.

18
00:01:24.879 --> 00:01:27.079
Quite a good length of time before that.

19
00:01:27.799 --> 00:01:29.879
Yeah, I just you know, looking back at it now,

20
00:01:30.000 --> 00:01:32.079
because life gets in the way and you never really

21
00:01:32.079 --> 00:01:37.200
have a time to reflect this podcast. I've done a lot,

22
00:01:37.239 --> 00:01:41.959
a lot a lot of podcasts, thousands of podcasts, hours

23
00:01:42.000 --> 00:01:46.280
and hours, you know, thousands of hours of broadcasting. But

24
00:01:46.359 --> 00:01:48.640
I think this is my funnest because I've never ever

25
00:01:48.760 --> 00:01:51.879
actually had a chance to do a podcast with my

26
00:01:52.000 --> 00:01:52.719
wife before.

27
00:01:54.280 --> 00:01:55.480
I agree.

28
00:01:56.319 --> 00:01:59.840
So I had my cousin the other day. He said,

29
00:01:59.879 --> 00:02:05.120
you know, it may be beneficial for people to hear

30
00:02:05.200 --> 00:02:10.479
you and Maya talk about things because our marriage, like

31
00:02:10.560 --> 00:02:12.199
every other marriage, I think, has.

32
00:02:12.039 --> 00:02:13.400
Had its struggles.

33
00:02:13.759 --> 00:02:15.199
I agree, And.

34
00:02:15.560 --> 00:02:18.919
I think that you know, with kids, thirteen kids, and

35
00:02:18.960 --> 00:02:22.199
we'll get into that. I hear a lot of excuses

36
00:02:22.520 --> 00:02:25.400
around the country, but I don't know if their excuses

37
00:02:25.520 --> 00:02:28.000
about not having kids or having problems with the kids

38
00:02:28.039 --> 00:02:31.199
they have, or if it's they just don't know how

39
00:02:31.199 --> 00:02:34.120
to do it. And when it comes to me and you,

40
00:02:34.199 --> 00:02:35.840
nobody gave us a manual.

41
00:02:36.280 --> 00:02:37.400
Nobody, for sure.

42
00:02:37.800 --> 00:02:41.280
I guess the closest manual we had was probably the Bible.

43
00:02:42.439 --> 00:02:47.199
It was probably the places that I got wisdom, the

44
00:02:47.240 --> 00:02:50.680
places that you got wisdom and support, you know, both

45
00:02:50.680 --> 00:02:51.000
of us.

46
00:02:51.759 --> 00:02:52.840
Grandma. Maybe you think.

47
00:02:52.719 --> 00:02:55.080
Grandma, Grandma for sure had a big hand in it.

48
00:02:55.400 --> 00:02:59.840
Yeah, Grandma was the tie that bind and I miss

49
00:02:59.840 --> 00:03:03.719
her and I love her and I sure do appreciate her,

50
00:03:04.439 --> 00:03:06.080
and you know, everybody else in our life.

51
00:03:06.120 --> 00:03:08.000
But you know, for us, that was a big one,

52
00:03:08.000 --> 00:03:08.599
wouldn't you say?

53
00:03:08.800 --> 00:03:09.319
I agree?

54
00:03:10.599 --> 00:03:14.240
So we are the Hansons. It's this, it's this journey.

55
00:03:14.800 --> 00:03:15.000
You know.

56
00:03:15.080 --> 00:03:18.039
Not only do we have the thirteen kids, not only

57
00:03:18.080 --> 00:03:21.599
have we been together for twenty two years, we also

58
00:03:22.280 --> 00:03:26.479
we're self employed and sometimes that can present the challenge

59
00:03:26.479 --> 00:03:27.159
all in itself.

60
00:03:27.719 --> 00:03:29.599
It's been a wild ride for sure.

61
00:03:29.960 --> 00:03:34.000
Yeah, it's it seems like it's feast or famine. And

62
00:03:34.319 --> 00:03:36.919
you know, you always, you always get to the point

63
00:03:36.960 --> 00:03:39.680
where you think that you need to be, but then

64
00:03:39.840 --> 00:03:41.520
something out of left field comes.

65
00:03:41.560 --> 00:03:42.159
Every time.

66
00:03:42.800 --> 00:03:45.759
Yep, every single time.

67
00:03:46.520 --> 00:03:50.879
We've been able to you know, sidestep some of them.

68
00:03:51.000 --> 00:03:54.639
Some of them we've you know, crashed head on, but

69
00:03:54.759 --> 00:03:59.159
we've always gotten through them, no matter how bleak it looked,

70
00:03:59.319 --> 00:04:03.800
no matter how like I mean, here's a story, folks.

71
00:04:04.120 --> 00:04:08.120
We were broke, but we were both working. This is

72
00:04:08.159 --> 00:04:11.400
before we were entrepreneurs. We were both working. I was

73
00:04:11.439 --> 00:04:15.080
working at as a manager of a machine shop and.

74
00:04:15.039 --> 00:04:19.680
I was a housekeeper assistant, had a housekeeper at a hotel.

75
00:04:19.879 --> 00:04:23.160
And I mean we were busting our butts.

76
00:04:23.360 --> 00:04:23.560
You know.

77
00:04:23.639 --> 00:04:28.120
This is back in the early two thousands, and we

78
00:04:28.120 --> 00:04:31.279
weren't making enough money. I was paying child support and

79
00:04:31.360 --> 00:04:35.639
you know, pretty much after paying child support to my

80
00:04:35.720 --> 00:04:38.480
ex wife, I was bringing in what one hundred and

81
00:04:38.480 --> 00:04:41.079
fifty dollars a week. Yeah, And I mean I was

82
00:04:41.120 --> 00:04:43.639
making good money and I was putting in about sixty hours.

83
00:04:43.439 --> 00:04:44.600
A week, no more.

84
00:04:44.800 --> 00:04:48.079
But they just they took every dime we had, and

85
00:04:48.160 --> 00:04:51.319
we got to the point where, like Friday was payday

86
00:04:51.439 --> 00:04:54.560
for both of us. It was a Thursday, our electric

87
00:04:54.600 --> 00:04:57.839
had been shut off. We had just enough gas that

88
00:04:57.920 --> 00:05:00.839
I could make it to work the next day. We

89
00:05:00.920 --> 00:05:03.040
had what did we have in our freezer?

90
00:05:03.680 --> 00:05:07.319
We had ring, baloney or smoke sausage.

91
00:05:07.519 --> 00:05:08.639
Smoke sausage, yeah.

92
00:05:09.240 --> 00:05:12.439
Green beans, and I think that's.

93
00:05:12.240 --> 00:05:13.759
Pretty much it in velvida.

94
00:05:13.839 --> 00:05:15.759
Oh yeah, we had a block of alvida.

95
00:05:16.439 --> 00:05:19.240
So now we had a grill, thank goodness, we had

96
00:05:19.240 --> 00:05:21.920
to grill. What have we done without a grill? But

97
00:05:22.040 --> 00:05:25.600
we had an old tree in our yard. Now we

98
00:05:25.639 --> 00:05:27.920
didn't have any charcoal, we didn't have any lighter fluid.

99
00:05:28.439 --> 00:05:30.959
We had newspaper, and we had.

100
00:05:31.199 --> 00:05:32.720
Old wood if you remember that right.

101
00:05:33.399 --> 00:05:38.199
We had some aluminum foil, and uh, We're like, you know,

102
00:05:38.240 --> 00:05:42.680
how are we going to do this? And maya takes

103
00:05:42.720 --> 00:05:44.639
out the food and what what did you make?

104
00:05:46.319 --> 00:05:47.920
Like a boy scout dinner type thing.

105
00:05:48.399 --> 00:05:51.000
Yeah, it was put the green beans in there, you know,

106
00:05:51.160 --> 00:05:55.480
put the summer sausage or smoke sausage in there, put

107
00:05:55.519 --> 00:05:57.720
the velvida in there. And now keep in mind, we

108
00:05:57.759 --> 00:06:01.240
had been pinching our pennies for days. It wasn't just

109
00:06:01.240 --> 00:06:03.160
like Thursday came, We're like, oh, we're out of money. No,

110
00:06:03.680 --> 00:06:06.879
we'd been hungry. I would say hungry, we'd been eating.

111
00:06:06.920 --> 00:06:10.680
But we always made sure that our kids ate first. Okay,

112
00:06:10.720 --> 00:06:14.680
they always had and when it came to somebody sacrificing,

113
00:06:14.800 --> 00:06:18.160
it was both of us. And I would say, probably

114
00:06:18.199 --> 00:06:21.519
you more than me, just because that's the person you were.

115
00:06:22.720 --> 00:06:25.000
But we made that. We started a fire in the grill.

116
00:06:25.360 --> 00:06:28.199
We put those in aluminum foil and we ate them

117
00:06:28.199 --> 00:06:30.720
and we sat in the dark in our house and

118
00:06:30.959 --> 00:06:35.279
ate those camping. It was like camping, and we were

119
00:06:35.319 --> 00:06:39.720
really trying to make the best out of what we had.

120
00:06:40.199 --> 00:06:42.839
But it was hard, don't you think.

121
00:06:43.079 --> 00:06:48.120
Yeah, I mean it was with the kids, with you,

122
00:06:48.319 --> 00:06:53.120
with us both working. It was so frustrating. And here

123
00:06:53.160 --> 00:06:56.120
we are, we're trying to live the American dream. I'm

124
00:06:56.120 --> 00:06:58.600
bringing home one hundred and fifty three eighty that's what

125
00:06:58.639 --> 00:07:00.439
it was. One hundred and fifty three dollars and eighty

126
00:07:00.439 --> 00:07:01.160
cents every week.

127
00:07:01.199 --> 00:07:01.600
That's it.

128
00:07:02.160 --> 00:07:06.279
Our rent was six point fifty at that time, you remember, yep.

129
00:07:06.959 --> 00:07:09.560
So we ate that and then the next day came

130
00:07:09.600 --> 00:07:14.199
along and we both got paid and we paid the

131
00:07:14.199 --> 00:07:17.720
bills and we were almost broke. But we got a call,

132
00:07:17.759 --> 00:07:19.680
and I don't remember where the call was from, but

133
00:07:19.759 --> 00:07:24.519
it was somebody asking if you wanted to clean something struck.

134
00:07:25.519 --> 00:07:28.399
It was a trucking company, and that's that's what set

135
00:07:28.439 --> 00:07:32.120
our journey off to be entrepreneurs.

136
00:07:32.319 --> 00:07:34.240
Yep. We both cleaning company.

137
00:07:34.439 --> 00:07:39.600
Yeah, we both literally we were still working. But we

138
00:07:39.680 --> 00:07:43.040
started this company because we got a call because somebody

139
00:07:43.040 --> 00:07:46.240
had said that, Hey, I know this girl, Maya Hanson.

140
00:07:46.360 --> 00:07:49.680
She does a bang up job cleaning for us over here.

141
00:07:49.680 --> 00:07:53.439
Give her a call. So you go over there and

142
00:07:53.560 --> 00:07:56.240
you start cleaning, and I don't even think you knew

143
00:07:56.279 --> 00:07:57.240
what to charge at that time.

144
00:07:57.279 --> 00:07:59.040
You were just like, I'm going to go do this.

145
00:07:59.120 --> 00:07:59.720
We need the money.

146
00:07:59.720 --> 00:08:02.279
So you go over there and do that and you

147
00:08:02.319 --> 00:08:05.399
come back because at the time, I think I think

148
00:08:05.399 --> 00:08:07.600
our cell phones were shut off at that time. Yep,

149
00:08:07.879 --> 00:08:10.199
maybe if somebody came over to us. I can't remember

150
00:08:10.199 --> 00:08:13.800
how it exactly went, but we were in dire financial straits,

151
00:08:13.839 --> 00:08:17.360
not because we were being lazy, but because every time

152
00:08:18.519 --> 00:08:21.240
we would try to do something, another door would get

153
00:08:21.240 --> 00:08:22.160
slammed in our face.

154
00:08:22.560 --> 00:08:23.600
We weren't prideful.

155
00:08:24.199 --> 00:08:26.560
We went up and we tried to get help from

156
00:08:26.560 --> 00:08:30.480
the county and what they told us was you make

157
00:08:30.560 --> 00:08:33.240
too much money. And I was like, what do you

158
00:08:33.279 --> 00:08:35.600
mean we make too much money? Well, you see, they

159
00:08:35.639 --> 00:08:37.960
count the money that they actually take from you, whether

160
00:08:38.000 --> 00:08:41.240
it's child supports, taxes, whatever, they count that money.

161
00:08:42.440 --> 00:08:44.240
So we didn't qualify. You remember that, yep?

162
00:08:44.639 --> 00:08:47.600
I do remember that didn't qualify for nothing.

163
00:08:47.960 --> 00:08:52.279
No, So we're sitting there and like we're trying to

164
00:08:52.320 --> 00:08:56.200
live our best life. We're trying to do this and

165
00:08:56.279 --> 00:08:58.440
you go clean this trucking company and I think you

166
00:08:58.600 --> 00:09:04.159
made three hundred and fifty dollars for cleaning it. And

167
00:09:04.200 --> 00:09:05.559
it took you a couple of days. I mean you

168
00:09:05.600 --> 00:09:08.120
were really busting but disgusting.

169
00:09:08.279 --> 00:09:08.919
It was dirty.

170
00:09:09.639 --> 00:09:11.919
And then after you were done with that, they're like, hey,

171
00:09:12.879 --> 00:09:16.759
can do you do floors? And you came and asked

172
00:09:16.759 --> 00:09:19.639
me about it, and I said, yeah, we do floors.

173
00:09:20.039 --> 00:09:22.759
I'd never done a floor in my life ever, but

174
00:09:22.919 --> 00:09:25.000
I knew that I knew somebody that didn't know how

175
00:09:25.000 --> 00:09:26.159
to do floors. Do you remember that?

176
00:09:26.320 --> 00:09:27.440
I do remember that.

177
00:09:28.039 --> 00:09:28.960
And we went over.

178
00:09:28.799 --> 00:09:30.440
There and I told them I'd remember what it was

179
00:09:30.440 --> 00:09:34.039
five or six hundred bucks to strip and wax their floor,

180
00:09:34.759 --> 00:09:37.480
and I had no idea what I was doing none.

181
00:09:38.159 --> 00:09:39.200
We figured it out.

182
00:09:39.200 --> 00:09:41.240
Well, we figured it out and it was fabulous and

183
00:09:41.279 --> 00:09:44.799
they were happy with it. And that's originally how we

184
00:09:44.879 --> 00:09:51.200
started our new business. We were literally it was definitely

185
00:09:51.519 --> 00:09:53.519
a gift from God. I mean it was a blessing

186
00:09:53.840 --> 00:09:59.360
from God to have that happen because we literally, what.

187
00:09:59.320 --> 00:10:01.840
Two more weeks, we probably would have lost our home.

188
00:10:02.039 --> 00:10:02.279
YEP.

189
00:10:04.559 --> 00:10:07.159
I don't know how we would have continued to feed

190
00:10:07.159 --> 00:10:12.360
our kids. But the thing is we always did it, always,

191
00:10:12.440 --> 00:10:16.600
and we've had some trials and tribulations, not unlike any

192
00:10:16.639 --> 00:10:19.799
other family, but I think that when you have thirteen kids,

193
00:10:20.639 --> 00:10:23.960
you start to have a multitude of the same problems

194
00:10:24.399 --> 00:10:28.000
and they just get bigger and bigger and bigger. And

195
00:10:27.480 --> 00:10:33.120
what I've learned is when you have a team me

196
00:10:33.159 --> 00:10:36.399
and her, it wasn't always me and it wasn't always her.

197
00:10:36.879 --> 00:10:40.039
We did things together, and we figured things out together,

198
00:10:40.320 --> 00:10:44.840
and when there was a problem, we felt the pain together.

199
00:10:45.759 --> 00:10:50.919
And I think some of that pain actually helped us

200
00:10:51.279 --> 00:10:56.200
get through being married, wouldn't you say? I mean, I

201
00:10:56.240 --> 00:11:00.120
think that our relationship was forged in the hard times

202
00:11:00.159 --> 00:11:00.600
made us.

203
00:11:00.559 --> 00:11:02.039
Enjoy the good times even more.

204
00:11:02.519 --> 00:11:03.679
It's like a train wreck.

205
00:11:04.279 --> 00:11:08.080
It literally was like a train wreck. You know, there's

206
00:11:08.360 --> 00:11:11.039
certain things that we don't need to get into on

207
00:11:11.080 --> 00:11:13.960
this podcast, but I do want to get into as

208
00:11:14.120 --> 00:11:19.159
many things as we can, like the raw feelings that

209
00:11:19.200 --> 00:11:21.000
you choose to share them that I choose to share,

210
00:11:21.039 --> 00:11:23.919
because I think that we can help couples. I think

211
00:11:23.919 --> 00:11:26.799
we can help parents. I think we can help entrepreneurs

212
00:11:27.200 --> 00:11:30.440
when it seems crazy to do it. Like I can't

213
00:11:30.440 --> 00:11:33.480
tell you how many times we had our kids come

214
00:11:33.519 --> 00:11:37.480
with us. We'd be working second shift. We started doing

215
00:11:37.559 --> 00:11:40.679
churches and we do daycares and things like that, and

216
00:11:40.759 --> 00:11:44.879
we always paid our kids. But we didn't have babysitters,

217
00:11:46.159 --> 00:11:48.080
so and none of the kids at that time were

218
00:11:48.080 --> 00:11:50.919
old enough to babysit for us. So they would come

219
00:11:50.960 --> 00:11:54.159
with and they would work, and I mean they would

220
00:11:54.159 --> 00:11:56.399
work from a small age and some people might say, well,

221
00:11:56.720 --> 00:11:59.480
that's child slave labor.

222
00:12:00.039 --> 00:12:01.399
But we kids enjoyed it though.

223
00:12:01.480 --> 00:12:02.200
They enjoyed it.

224
00:12:02.279 --> 00:12:05.480
And the thing is is they got paid exactly what

225
00:12:05.519 --> 00:12:12.519
we'd pay somebody else. And our kids are terrific workers.

226
00:12:13.600 --> 00:12:17.799
They care about people. They they work really hard, they

227
00:12:17.840 --> 00:12:21.679
work smart, and I think a lot of that has

228
00:12:21.759 --> 00:12:24.159
to do with the experiences that they had when we

229
00:12:24.159 --> 00:12:24.679
were younger.

230
00:12:25.240 --> 00:12:26.000
I agree.

231
00:12:26.840 --> 00:12:31.279
I mean, we start off working and you keep going

232
00:12:31.320 --> 00:12:35.840
and keep going and tell I mean just like any

233
00:12:35.840 --> 00:12:36.440
other person.

234
00:12:37.519 --> 00:12:41.320
So but we had we had really really good times

235
00:12:41.360 --> 00:12:48.799
financially as well. I can remember our first big check.

236
00:12:48.879 --> 00:12:50.159
Do you remember our first big check?

237
00:12:50.679 --> 00:12:52.320
M yeah, a little bit.

238
00:12:52.639 --> 00:12:55.360
Okay, folks, So let me let me set the stage

239
00:12:55.360 --> 00:13:02.840
for you. We've got four boys from my previous marriage.

240
00:13:03.759 --> 00:13:08.080
We've got two of our own boys and a daughter okay,

241
00:13:09.320 --> 00:13:13.039
and we're seeing them picking them up, my oldest daughter also,

242
00:13:13.879 --> 00:13:17.480
and we're sitting there we're trying to get big where

243
00:13:17.600 --> 00:13:20.879
I get that weird stage where hey, we really want

244
00:13:20.919 --> 00:13:23.679
to make some big money, but I don't know how

245
00:13:23.720 --> 00:13:25.480
we're going to do it. So we get involved with

246
00:13:25.559 --> 00:13:29.000
this company named Conway Trucking. You remember that. I do

247
00:13:29.200 --> 00:13:32.559
remember that, okay, and this was big and there is

248
00:13:32.600 --> 00:13:34.799
something too. Sometimes you got to fake it till you

249
00:13:34.879 --> 00:13:37.960
make it. Okay, the first time that we ever did

250
00:13:38.000 --> 00:13:40.360
Conway and we told them, they're like, well, we have

251
00:13:40.440 --> 00:13:43.120
seven lots and we need to do to do them

252
00:13:43.200 --> 00:13:45.840
all in one day. And I was like, I don't

253
00:13:45.840 --> 00:13:46.840
know how we're going to do it. What do we

254
00:13:46.879 --> 00:13:50.360
have three employees at that time? Yeah, So we sent

255
00:13:51.519 --> 00:13:55.159
three people down to go start washing in Milwaukee. We're

256
00:13:55.240 --> 00:13:59.840
up in Lacrosse or the Tuma area, and in two days.

257
00:14:00.080 --> 00:14:00.879
We did all of them.

258
00:14:01.440 --> 00:14:04.759
Okay, but it took every dime that we had and

259
00:14:04.879 --> 00:14:07.320
we thought, we didn't know that there was a hold

260
00:14:07.399 --> 00:14:10.240
on the pay. So we did seven different lots of

261
00:14:10.279 --> 00:14:15.480
Conway trucks, which was a lot of trucks, trailers, pressure.

262
00:14:15.200 --> 00:14:18.320
Washing and we find out.

263
00:14:18.320 --> 00:14:20.080
We go into the next week and they're like, okay,

264
00:14:20.919 --> 00:14:22.840
we put it in forty five days, you'll get a check.

265
00:14:22.879 --> 00:14:23.440
You remember that.

266
00:14:23.639 --> 00:14:26.840
I do remember that. We were freaking out.

267
00:14:27.200 --> 00:14:30.720
Yeah, I mean, for once we knew we had to check.

268
00:14:30.799 --> 00:14:33.559
What was the first time, like twenty eight thousand dollars

269
00:14:33.679 --> 00:14:37.360
something like that, and it was crazy and.

270
00:14:37.320 --> 00:14:39.480
We had these people. We had to pay for these people.

271
00:14:39.519 --> 00:14:41.399
We were dead tired, by the way, because we were

272
00:14:41.440 --> 00:14:43.399
doing all of our other stuff at the same time.

273
00:14:45.039 --> 00:14:48.679
And we find this out and the last week. You know,

274
00:14:48.720 --> 00:14:51.200
everybody always thinks all these business owners, they got money,

275
00:14:51.200 --> 00:14:51.879
they got money.

276
00:14:52.320 --> 00:14:54.879
We're running on nothing, I mean nothing.

277
00:14:54.960 --> 00:14:58.039
We're having peanut butter and jelly, and we're having fun

278
00:14:58.080 --> 00:15:00.440
with our kids talking about, oh, you love put butter

279
00:15:00.480 --> 00:15:03.519
and jelly, and you know, to me, it's like, you know,

280
00:15:03.519 --> 00:15:06.120
I could probably go the rest of my life without

281
00:15:06.159 --> 00:15:08.360
having another peanut butter and jelly.

282
00:15:08.840 --> 00:15:12.360
Ever, how about you, Yeah, it's nasty.

283
00:15:12.759 --> 00:15:15.120
I mean it was the same thing like, uh oh,

284
00:15:15.120 --> 00:15:17.799
our electric might get cut off, uh oh, our insurance

285
00:15:17.840 --> 00:15:22.240
payments do it. Everything came pushing up to that point, and.

286
00:15:22.120 --> 00:15:23.679
We're broke as broke can be.

287
00:15:24.320 --> 00:15:26.600
If our kids would have said, hey, we want a

288
00:15:26.759 --> 00:15:30.080
twenty five cent ice cream, we wouldn't have been able

289
00:15:30.120 --> 00:15:30.480
to affod.

290
00:15:30.559 --> 00:15:31.120
No.

291
00:15:31.120 --> 00:15:32.720
No, I mean, there was a dairy queen, you know,

292
00:15:32.759 --> 00:15:35.519
a couple of blocks from us, and that was something

293
00:15:35.559 --> 00:15:39.120
we really enjoyed. But we purposely did things to keep

294
00:15:39.120 --> 00:15:46.519
the kids's mind off excuse me of that, And then

295
00:15:46.600 --> 00:15:49.240
we got the check. You remember that I do, and

296
00:15:49.279 --> 00:15:51.480
you remember the freedom that it gave us. And we

297
00:15:51.519 --> 00:15:53.480
you know, we did take the kids to dairy Queen.

298
00:15:54.000 --> 00:15:55.960
You know, we get that big of a check. We

299
00:15:56.000 --> 00:15:59.720
replenished everything else because now you're borrowing, you know, like

300
00:16:00.320 --> 00:16:02.840
calling the chemical place and saying, hey, I need this,

301
00:16:02.919 --> 00:16:05.240
I'm good for it. You know, give me forty five

302
00:16:05.320 --> 00:16:07.360
days and they grumble a little bit, and then you.

303
00:16:07.320 --> 00:16:08.840
Know they'd always do it.

304
00:16:09.039 --> 00:16:12.399
But that was the first time that I believe that

305
00:16:12.480 --> 00:16:16.000
in our relationship we had any sort of financial freedom.

306
00:16:16.799 --> 00:16:18.679
I agree. I mean.

307
00:16:20.039 --> 00:16:24.080
It's been rough and it's not been easy, for sure.

308
00:16:26.679 --> 00:16:28.480
Yeah, I agree.

309
00:16:28.720 --> 00:16:32.080
So my wife decided she wanted to do wear the

310
00:16:32.080 --> 00:16:37.120
hansens to do things to take away from I think,

311
00:16:37.320 --> 00:16:38.960
and you'll have to tell me if I'm right about this.

312
00:16:40.080 --> 00:16:43.039
I've done political podcasting for as long as I can remember.

313
00:16:44.080 --> 00:16:47.960
I used to spend hours upon hours upon hours doing it.

314
00:16:48.000 --> 00:16:51.120
I did it full time for a while broadcasting, and

315
00:16:51.200 --> 00:16:54.440
you kind of felt like I fell away from the

316
00:16:54.480 --> 00:16:55.879
family a little bit.

317
00:16:56.480 --> 00:17:03.200
You did explain that, well, just like you're always on

318
00:17:03.279 --> 00:17:07.440
the radio, you're always busy, and it was just me and.

319
00:17:07.400 --> 00:17:11.960
The kids, and and and you had a problem with me,

320
00:17:12.200 --> 00:17:15.839
like if a microphone happened to get sent to the house.

321
00:17:16.519 --> 00:17:19.720
That was all the time, yeah, or you know audio stuff.

322
00:17:19.720 --> 00:17:22.519
And I think every guy that's in podcasting and broadcast,

323
00:17:22.599 --> 00:17:25.240
I think they've all been through that. But we went

324
00:17:25.279 --> 00:17:26.880
through a lot of hard times.

325
00:17:26.880 --> 00:17:27.319
You know.

326
00:17:27.440 --> 00:17:30.799
You go through these kids that we have and we

327
00:17:30.880 --> 00:17:38.160
love them all. We've got Adam, Okay, Then we've got Courtney,

328
00:17:40.480 --> 00:17:43.920
and we got Logan. Then we've got Colin, and then

329
00:17:43.960 --> 00:17:47.799
we've got Keenan, and then we've got Peyton, and then

330
00:17:47.880 --> 00:17:54.279
we have Na, Then we have Morgan, then we have Tristan,

331
00:17:54.720 --> 00:17:58.920
then we have Gavin, then we have Madison, then we

332
00:17:59.039 --> 00:18:02.839
have Torn. Then we have anline okay, and that's the

333
00:18:03.640 --> 00:18:06.839
handsome family in chronological order.

334
00:18:07.440 --> 00:18:13.960
And then our anline. She's been our little miracle.

335
00:18:14.039 --> 00:18:18.000
And she was a miracle they told us. And I

336
00:18:18.039 --> 00:18:19.519
don't want to get too personal here, but I'm just

337
00:18:19.559 --> 00:18:22.880
going to tell you what the doctors told us. She

338
00:18:22.920 --> 00:18:26.039
had a little bit of problem with Torn having Torn,

339
00:18:26.039 --> 00:18:28.559
and there was there was some i don't know what

340
00:18:28.599 --> 00:18:32.440
you call it, female issues, some birthing whatever the word is.

341
00:18:33.200 --> 00:18:37.279
And they said, man, your uterus is janked up. You're

342
00:18:37.319 --> 00:18:39.039
never gonna have a kid again. That's that's what they

343
00:18:39.079 --> 00:18:42.319
told us. And you know, for us, we didn't really

344
00:18:42.400 --> 00:18:45.599
care as long as we could take care of our kids.

345
00:18:46.160 --> 00:18:47.880
I think we would have had fifty I.

346
00:18:47.799 --> 00:18:52.119
Mean, do you agree, maybe not that many, but.

347
00:18:53.759 --> 00:18:59.079
You know, we've had a wonderful life in twenty two years.

348
00:18:59.160 --> 00:19:00.759
You know, as you get old, do you start to

349
00:19:00.799 --> 00:19:03.799
see that, you know, the beauty is not just in

350
00:19:04.000 --> 00:19:09.279
the good times. There's beauty in every time. And sometimes

351
00:19:09.319 --> 00:19:11.160
it takes a little bit of wisdom to look through

352
00:19:11.200 --> 00:19:14.799
the hard times to know that this this two shall pass.

353
00:19:15.279 --> 00:19:19.480
Because when you're sitting there, you know, I remember the

354
00:19:19.720 --> 00:19:25.200
biggest thing with you at the very beginning was Adam So,

355
00:19:25.319 --> 00:19:30.880
our oldest son that we took in. He went and

356
00:19:30.920 --> 00:19:33.640
he wanted to be a marine. So and he hadn't

357
00:19:33.839 --> 00:19:37.400
been away from us for very long and his you know,

358
00:19:37.480 --> 00:19:39.680
two years in Japan and he was doing his thing,

359
00:19:39.759 --> 00:19:42.200
he was becoming a man, doing his thing, and that

360
00:19:42.319 --> 00:19:45.119
was very hard for you not to talk to him.

361
00:19:45.559 --> 00:19:46.880
Yep, it was.

362
00:19:47.119 --> 00:19:50.160
It was tough because you see somebody and you talk

363
00:19:50.200 --> 00:19:55.119
to somebody every day and then you're pretty much cut off.

364
00:19:55.160 --> 00:19:55.799
You can't talk to.

365
00:19:55.839 --> 00:20:00.000
Him, right and Now when I met you, I'm gonna

366
00:20:00.039 --> 00:20:03.200
I'm gonna rewind here a little bit so people can

367
00:20:04.000 --> 00:20:08.000
understand where we're at. We have a blended family. I

368
00:20:08.079 --> 00:20:14.960
have a beautiful half black daughter named Morgan, and I'll

369
00:20:15.000 --> 00:20:17.880
tell you since she was in you. You were actually

370
00:20:17.960 --> 00:20:22.799
what six weeks pregnant when I started dating you. Correct, Now,

371
00:20:22.839 --> 00:20:27.880
we had been friends before that. I'm twenty four, you're eighteen.

372
00:20:28.559 --> 00:20:33.720
You're pregnant. The sperm donor just runs off, says I

373
00:20:33.720 --> 00:20:37.880
don't want it, I don't want responsibility. Yep, and just

374
00:20:38.240 --> 00:20:41.000
h takes off and just kind of left you holding

375
00:20:41.000 --> 00:20:41.440
the bag.

376
00:20:41.880 --> 00:20:46.599
Correct, Okay, And that was never the intention.

377
00:20:46.799 --> 00:20:50.519
I mean, you know when when teenagers are teenagers, they're gonna,

378
00:20:50.599 --> 00:20:53.960
they're gonna do their thing, and you know, forget the consequences.

379
00:20:54.000 --> 00:20:56.079
But it just it is what it is. It was

380
00:20:56.119 --> 00:20:56.799
just part of life.

381
00:20:57.039 --> 00:21:00.799
And at the time when me and you were friends,

382
00:21:00.839 --> 00:21:04.279
we were actually talking on I can remember this Wisconsin

383
00:21:04.400 --> 00:21:05.680
chat eight Do.

384
00:21:05.759 --> 00:21:06.240
You remember that?

385
00:21:06.480 --> 00:21:08.680
Yeah? If I do, Yahoo.

386
00:21:09.039 --> 00:21:10.759
So my ex.

387
00:21:10.599 --> 00:21:14.279
Wife and I had separated, and we'd been separated at

388
00:21:14.279 --> 00:21:18.279
that point for I don't know six seven months when

389
00:21:18.279 --> 00:21:21.079
I started talking to you, and you would keep me

390
00:21:21.160 --> 00:21:23.720
up I had all the kids with me, and you

391
00:21:23.759 --> 00:21:26.960
would keep me up literally before I had to get

392
00:21:27.000 --> 00:21:29.599
the kids up, get them off the school or to

393
00:21:29.680 --> 00:21:33.039
the babysitters, and go to work. And I just remember

394
00:21:33.079 --> 00:21:36.839
I was like, God, I really really like talking to

395
00:21:36.880 --> 00:21:40.480
this girl. And on the side, note she's pretty hot too,

396
00:21:40.839 --> 00:21:43.519
because you know, I knew my ex wife and I

397
00:21:43.599 --> 00:21:49.000
knew we were over at that point. I really wasn't

398
00:21:49.039 --> 00:21:52.599
a big drinker, but my ex wife was a big,

399
00:21:52.640 --> 00:21:55.440
big drinker, and she had kind of moved on and

400
00:21:55.480 --> 00:21:57.920
I had, you know, I was still in the same house,

401
00:21:58.319 --> 00:22:03.319
but I was extremely lonely. And I remember you started

402
00:22:03.319 --> 00:22:07.359
calling me Prince Charming, and that just kind of flipped

403
00:22:07.359 --> 00:22:07.759
a switch.

404
00:22:07.839 --> 00:22:08.759
Why would you do that?

405
00:22:10.960 --> 00:22:17.240
Friends Charming? I don't even remember. I don't I don't

406
00:22:17.400 --> 00:22:20.119
remember why I started calling. Maybe it's because you were

407
00:22:20.200 --> 00:22:21.279
charming at that time.

408
00:22:21.680 --> 00:22:24.319
I just, you know, it's just my charming personality. I

409
00:22:24.319 --> 00:22:25.559
think it just never goes away.

410
00:22:25.880 --> 00:22:26.240
I don't know.

411
00:22:28.319 --> 00:22:32.079
But you know, people ask us all the time, literally

412
00:22:32.119 --> 00:22:33.960
like we're still pretty young.

413
00:22:34.039 --> 00:22:36.119
I'm forty six, she's forty.

414
00:22:37.440 --> 00:22:40.920
With all these kids, you know, being entrepreneurs, I mean,

415
00:22:41.000 --> 00:22:45.720
always going, always doing stuff. How do you have time

416
00:22:45.799 --> 00:22:48.200
for each other. How do you How have you stayed

417
00:22:48.400 --> 00:22:53.519
together this long? And I guess I've never really thought

418
00:22:53.519 --> 00:22:58.559
about that other than the fact that me and you,

419
00:22:59.240 --> 00:23:01.400
as we were talking king, as we were friends, we

420
00:23:01.440 --> 00:23:07.559
both knew that we wanted a large family. Yep, we

421
00:23:07.640 --> 00:23:09.680
both knew that, you know, we kind of wanted to

422
00:23:09.680 --> 00:23:13.279
be entrepreneurs, more me than you on that that was

423
00:23:13.319 --> 00:23:15.920
a dream of mine. But I think that you supported

424
00:23:15.920 --> 00:23:20.200
that dream for me and then found out that you

425
00:23:20.319 --> 00:23:20.799
liked it too.

426
00:23:21.559 --> 00:23:25.599
Yeah, I would say so. I mean, I like doing

427
00:23:25.640 --> 00:23:28.880
my own thing. I like being my own boss. I

428
00:23:29.000 --> 00:23:31.599
like to be able to go when I want to go, And.

429
00:23:33.000 --> 00:23:35.240
I mean, you know, I think it's I think it's

430
00:23:35.240 --> 00:23:39.759
been good for our children seeing that. But that's part

431
00:23:39.799 --> 00:23:42.200
of we are the Hansons, you know, the things that

432
00:23:42.240 --> 00:23:47.039
we did that kept I mean it sounds kind of cliche,

433
00:23:47.039 --> 00:23:51.000
but the spark alive. You know, how did you get

434
00:23:51.000 --> 00:23:52.400
through the arguments.

435
00:23:51.920 --> 00:23:52.559
That you had?

436
00:23:54.799 --> 00:23:57.400
How did you, you know, have enough respect for each

437
00:23:57.440 --> 00:23:58.880
other to do this to do that?

438
00:23:58.920 --> 00:24:00.920
How did you get through the ad fights?

439
00:24:02.799 --> 00:24:05.640
Everybody has them, but nobody knows how to get through

440
00:24:05.720 --> 00:24:08.519
them anymore. Nobody, nobody understands that type of thing, and

441
00:24:08.559 --> 00:24:11.880
I think that we are the Hansens. We want to

442
00:24:11.920 --> 00:24:15.920
give back all the knowledge and wisdom that's worked for

443
00:24:16.000 --> 00:24:19.920
us to people that don't have a handbook, that don't

444
00:24:19.920 --> 00:24:23.519
have a Bible, and that don't have a supporting cast

445
00:24:23.759 --> 00:24:27.680
like family or a grandmother to sit there and help

446
00:24:27.720 --> 00:24:28.960
you alonger in those times.

447
00:24:29.079 --> 00:24:31.359
Not only that we want to we want to show

448
00:24:31.359 --> 00:24:34.759
how real life is not every life is perfect. There

449
00:24:34.799 --> 00:24:37.039
is no such thing as a perfect life.

450
00:24:37.200 --> 00:24:40.440
No, but but happiness can come from a lot of

451
00:24:40.480 --> 00:24:41.319
different places.

452
00:24:42.359 --> 00:24:42.559
You know.

453
00:24:42.720 --> 00:24:46.799
The first thing was Adam and uh, you know, then

454
00:24:46.839 --> 00:24:50.440
we go through my son Logan moved in with us

455
00:24:50.440 --> 00:24:53.279
for a while and you know, he ended up moving

456
00:24:53.319 --> 00:24:57.640
out and there was turmoil there and uh, you know,

457
00:24:58.039 --> 00:25:01.000
being reintroduced to my daughter that I hadn't seen for

458
00:25:01.039 --> 00:25:06.960
a long time. Courtney, If you start going through all

459
00:25:07.039 --> 00:25:11.519
these things, every single one of them had different issues

460
00:25:11.559 --> 00:25:16.039
that we dealt with. You know, you get down to

461
00:25:16.279 --> 00:25:21.960
our son Gavin and he started a fire inside of

462
00:25:22.000 --> 00:25:26.680
a metal shed and his wrestling coach happened to be

463
00:25:26.759 --> 00:25:30.599
the sheriff and showed up, and those types of stories

464
00:25:30.640 --> 00:25:34.119
we can all laugh about now, but in the moment,

465
00:25:34.519 --> 00:25:37.559
it's something really crazy. Then our daughter Madison. You know,

466
00:25:37.680 --> 00:25:40.599
she's got a a cyst that grew in a bundle

467
00:25:40.640 --> 00:25:44.799
of nerves, a tumor and had to be cut out

468
00:25:44.839 --> 00:25:49.319
by a cancer surgeon when she was held eleven, when

469
00:25:49.319 --> 00:25:50.400
she was eleven years old.

470
00:25:51.680 --> 00:25:57.079
Scary stuff to the great, big, huge.

471
00:25:56.759 --> 00:26:00.240
Things like our daughter Aniline, where we we said in

472
00:26:00.279 --> 00:26:04.839
the Neeq for eighty six days, I saw more death

473
00:26:04.960 --> 00:26:08.559
in the nie Que than I ever care to see again. Ever,

474
00:26:09.599 --> 00:26:13.160
I felt the biggest blessings I've ever had ever coming home.

475
00:26:14.960 --> 00:26:15.759
And you see the.

476
00:26:18.079 --> 00:26:23.200
Part of life that you take for granted that people

477
00:26:23.240 --> 00:26:26.599
are praying for on their knees there, and it's those

478
00:26:26.680 --> 00:26:29.839
types of things. There was a time when me and

479
00:26:29.920 --> 00:26:33.240
you felt so distant. We were close to getting a

480
00:26:33.279 --> 00:26:38.720
divorced at one time, and it just, you know, having

481
00:26:38.799 --> 00:26:41.759
the beliefs that we have and being able to work

482
00:26:41.799 --> 00:26:44.519
through the hard times, and not only that, we can't

483
00:26:44.519 --> 00:26:47.880
take credit all for ourselves, the people like Pastor Jeff

484
00:26:49.160 --> 00:26:54.799
that's been around, those influential people, the goals that we

485
00:26:54.920 --> 00:26:58.160
set for ourselves, and the blessings that we've had with

486
00:26:58.200 --> 00:27:03.039
our children, I think to define our life. We've done

487
00:27:03.200 --> 00:27:06.920
a lot of just awesome things the entrepreneurs side of

488
00:27:06.920 --> 00:27:07.279
our life.

489
00:27:07.319 --> 00:27:09.880
Like you have a food truck.

490
00:27:10.319 --> 00:27:17.720
Yeah, tell people about it fresh seafood and we just go.

491
00:27:17.759 --> 00:27:20.599
When we traveled the Louisiana, we have stuff flowing.

492
00:27:20.400 --> 00:27:22.079
In and it's Chicago.

493
00:27:23.319 --> 00:27:26.599
We meet people, we hear a lot of stories and

494
00:27:26.640 --> 00:27:30.559
it's just it's one of those awesome things. And this

495
00:27:30.720 --> 00:27:35.519
first show we're both coffin and she's got a running nose.

496
00:27:35.839 --> 00:27:37.519
It's just one of those things. We had time to

497
00:27:37.599 --> 00:27:41.000
do it today, so we're doing it today. But you know,

498
00:27:41.039 --> 00:27:43.880
we are going to make this a little bit more formal.

499
00:27:44.240 --> 00:27:45.839
We're going to talk about these things, but we're going

500
00:27:45.880 --> 00:27:48.920
to take an issue by issue. We want to talk

501
00:27:48.920 --> 00:27:53.680
about parenting. We want to talk about relationships, we want

502
00:27:53.680 --> 00:27:57.880
to talk about entrepreneurialism. We want to talk about living

503
00:27:58.279 --> 00:28:02.279
your best life at whatever that case may be. And

504
00:28:02.359 --> 00:28:07.160
you know, we want to offer a place for people

505
00:28:07.200 --> 00:28:09.920
to reach out when they have questions that we're going

506
00:28:09.960 --> 00:28:11.480
to do our best to give you the best answer

507
00:28:11.559 --> 00:28:13.960
that we can tell people how to get a hold.

508
00:28:13.799 --> 00:28:17.839
Of us, well, you can find us on Facebook. We

509
00:28:17.920 --> 00:28:23.519

511
00:28:26.759 --> 00:28:28.440
our emails.

512
00:28:28.640 --> 00:28:32.519
We are the Hansens Show at gmail dot com.

513
00:28:33.240 --> 00:28:37.720
And the cool thing is that I like is we

514
00:28:37.799 --> 00:28:39.960
do some pretty cool stuff that you don't see anywhere else.

515
00:28:40.079 --> 00:28:42.279
Like you were just on the other day doing what

516
00:28:43.119 --> 00:28:44.200
making lefto weren't you?

517
00:28:44.319 --> 00:28:46.240
Yep? We were making lefts on cookies?

518
00:28:46.920 --> 00:28:49.440
Oh yeah, a different day. You were doing cookies.

519
00:28:50.440 --> 00:28:53.119
Because I tried to come in and literally, folks, I

520
00:28:53.160 --> 00:28:57.960
wanted one fingerful of chocolate chip cookie dough, Just one fingerful,

521
00:28:58.000 --> 00:29:02.160
That's all I wanted. And my daughter almost burned my

522
00:29:02.200 --> 00:29:04.599
finger down just because I wanted to get a little

523
00:29:04.599 --> 00:29:05.200
bit of cookie.

524
00:29:05.400 --> 00:29:07.480
Oh not just a little bit of cookie. You were

525
00:29:07.799 --> 00:29:09.119
trying to get a lot of cookie.

526
00:29:10.119 --> 00:29:12.880
No, anybody that knows me knows that I'm not a

527
00:29:12.920 --> 00:29:13.519
sweets guy.

528
00:29:13.680 --> 00:29:16.480
Oh yeah, right, yeah.

529
00:29:16.599 --> 00:29:21.440
But it is the life's path that we want to

530
00:29:21.440 --> 00:29:24.480
talk about. It's how to better yourself, how to help

531
00:29:24.519 --> 00:29:27.200
your children. And that's one wonderful thing that I've got

532
00:29:27.200 --> 00:29:30.640
to say. Every single one of our kids now in

533
00:29:30.720 --> 00:29:36.240
the house, we only have four kids now. All the

534
00:29:36.240 --> 00:29:38.160
rest the nine other kids are all.

535
00:29:38.000 --> 00:29:41.279
Out on their own and they're all doing well. For themselves.

536
00:29:41.680 --> 00:29:47.400
They're all moral children, they all fear God, they're all

537
00:29:47.440 --> 00:29:51.559
hard workers. They're all doing well for themselves, living their

538
00:29:51.599 --> 00:29:54.440
own lives and going through their own problems and dealing

539
00:29:54.440 --> 00:29:57.000
with things like that. But I think that's what we

540
00:29:57.039 --> 00:29:57.799
want out of life.

541
00:29:58.640 --> 00:29:59.559
They also want to.

542
00:30:02.519 --> 00:30:06.880
Pretty much take you through our ups and downs and

543
00:30:07.200 --> 00:30:11.079
tell you what we've gone through. And if you need

544
00:30:11.119 --> 00:30:13.000
anyone to talk to, we're always there.

545
00:30:14.400 --> 00:30:18.200
Yeah, So it's we are the Hansons. Like I said,

546
00:30:18.200 --> 00:30:20.000
we're gonna be a little bit more formal. We're gonna

547
00:30:20.000 --> 00:30:22.640
have some intros, some outros. I'm sure there's gonna be

548
00:30:22.640 --> 00:30:25.920
some people that, you know, want to have some books

549
00:30:26.000 --> 00:30:28.440
or something like that on the show. You know, maybe

550
00:30:28.440 --> 00:30:31.279
it's maybe it's cool stuff. Like we also want to

551
00:30:31.279 --> 00:30:33.640
touch on the things that we love doing. And I

552
00:30:33.680 --> 00:30:39.519
am an expert grill cook. I'm an expert officionado on

553
00:30:39.799 --> 00:30:44.039
the Smoker. There's other weird things about me, like I

554
00:30:44.119 --> 00:30:50.440
actually marry people. That's something that I do. Yeah, but

555
00:30:50.519 --> 00:30:51.039
what do you do?

556
00:30:52.799 --> 00:30:54.039
I chase kids around.

557
00:30:54.960 --> 00:30:58.000
Besides chasing kids around, I got to keep you in line.

558
00:30:58.680 --> 00:31:02.960
Well that's an easy job. No, what it is?

559
00:31:03.000 --> 00:31:05.440
What it is, folks, we want to welcome you to

560
00:31:05.920 --> 00:31:08.519
We are the Hansons. The things that we've got coming up.

561
00:31:08.559 --> 00:31:11.160
Can you tell the people some of the things that

562
00:31:11.200 --> 00:31:13.480
we're going to be talking about on the upcoming.

563
00:31:13.119 --> 00:31:15.720
Shows, parenting and.

564
00:31:18.000 --> 00:31:25.279
How to live life and juggle work and home life

565
00:31:25.960 --> 00:31:28.119
and just adventure.

566
00:31:27.839 --> 00:31:31.200
And sometimes all of those are at the exact same moment.

567
00:31:32.119 --> 00:31:34.599
Have you noticed that truth, they're all in the exact

568
00:31:34.599 --> 00:31:40.079
same movement, making money, living life, parenting, and you know,

569
00:31:40.200 --> 00:31:40.680
being a.

570
00:31:40.720 --> 00:31:43.400
Spouse are They're all required of.

571
00:31:43.359 --> 00:31:45.359
You at the same time. And some people say that

572
00:31:45.400 --> 00:31:48.079
it can't be done. Some people say that you can't

573
00:31:48.119 --> 00:31:50.680
spend enough one on one time with a large family.

574
00:31:50.720 --> 00:31:54.240
And I'm here to say I beg to differs. Yes,

575
00:31:54.359 --> 00:31:58.039
when it comes to parenting, when it comes to putting

576
00:31:58.119 --> 00:32:02.960
up with angry women, No, No, I'm just kidding. When

577
00:32:03.039 --> 00:32:07.599
it comes to loving your spouse, when it comes to

578
00:32:08.319 --> 00:32:12.559
putting your kids first, when it comes to raising healthy,

579
00:32:12.759 --> 00:32:16.839
happy and productive children, I would say we're both experts.

580
00:32:16.920 --> 00:32:21.759
And we're not only experts by going through this, we're

581
00:32:21.799 --> 00:32:24.000
experts because we still go through it.

582
00:32:24.599 --> 00:32:27.480
True, we have a lot of people that come to

583
00:32:27.960 --> 00:32:29.279
us for advice.

584
00:32:29.920 --> 00:32:32.480
Right, And I'm not saying that all our advice is

585
00:32:32.559 --> 00:32:34.200
right because a lot of the stuff that we do

586
00:32:34.319 --> 00:32:35.119
is work for us.

587
00:32:35.599 --> 00:32:39.240
But at least it will give people ideas.

588
00:32:39.000 --> 00:32:41.160
To start working on themselves because I think at the

589
00:32:41.240 --> 00:32:44.000
end of the day, it comes down do you want

590
00:32:44.000 --> 00:32:48.079
this with my marriage? I know that's what I thought.

591
00:32:48.119 --> 00:32:51.400
Do I want this? And the answer always comes back

592
00:32:51.440 --> 00:32:55.319
to absolutely, I want this because the good times always

593
00:32:55.319 --> 00:32:59.519
outweigh the bad times and sometimes you have to make

594
00:32:59.559 --> 00:33:00.920
the best with what you got.

595
00:33:01.839 --> 00:33:03.759
Yeah, we sure do.

596
00:33:04.720 --> 00:33:07.440
So that's the show for today. That's what we're going

597
00:33:07.480 --> 00:33:10.799
to be doing. Look for new shows coming soon. We

598
00:33:10.880 --> 00:33:14.720
appreciate you guys being there, and remember we are the Hansens.

599
00:33:15.279 --> 00:33:15.920
Have a good night.
