00:00Mother, mother, love and marriage, love and marriage.
00:07Ryan's been married for two years with a kid, a dog, and a new house.
00:11Is this the year he screws it all up?
00:21And Grounds for Dwarves brought to you by Adam.
00:23Facing divorce, don't take a chance with your future.
00:25Call Adam today, 248-356-ADAM.
00:32What's going on, Ryan Logan Jr., Esquire III?
00:35I know I'm going to get lit up for this one, but this one's more for me, so whatever.
00:39Let's do it.
00:40All right.
00:41Heidi was gone over the weekend.
00:42We talked about that.
00:43She was in Chicago for a bachelorette party.
00:45Right.
00:46So I had Finny in all weekend.
00:48Now, when she got back into town on Sunday, she should take over the parent duties, right?
00:54When it comes to feeding him, changing his diaper, all that, she should just take that.
00:59Give me a break on Sunday.
01:01You're really thinking that?
01:02Yeah, 100%.
01:03Let me go to line one for you.
01:07You're wrong.
01:11You're wrong.
01:13You're wrong.
01:14You're wrong.
01:16No.
01:17See, why?
01:18Because it's part of being, you're both parents.
01:21Right.
01:21You can go out and have a life outside of that, and when you come home, you just pick up where
01:25you left off.
01:26You don't have to like, well, I've done my weekend.
01:29You get her for the rest of the day.
01:30Yeah, yeah, yeah.
01:31Now, see, I don't see it as that.
01:33Hold on real quick.
01:34248-398-9279 is her house phone.
01:36248-398-WCSX.
01:39Go ahead.
01:40I see it more as being a nice thing, doing a nice thing for your spouse by going, hey,
01:46I had a great time.
01:47I know you were with the kid all weekend.
01:48Here, I'll take care of him today.
01:51Give you a little bit of a break.
01:52So by bringing this up, I'm assuming Heidi did not assume the mantle of 100% parent when
01:57she came through the door on Sunday.
01:59No.
01:59Okay.
02:01Did you say anything to her?
02:03Yeah.
02:03You know me.
02:04I'm like, you changed his diaper.
02:06I was like, Heidi, I think he pooped.
02:08Okay, we changed his diaper real quick.
02:10I'm like, can't you do it?
02:12I've been doing it all weekend.
02:13Let me go to line three.
02:16No, no, no, no, no, no.
02:23And yes, because somebody is going to call and ask this.
02:27Yes, I was at my mother's on Saturday, and she had him for a decent portion of the day
02:32as I worked the golf show, and somehow I just got lost there after I was done working it.
02:38So Sunday when I talked to you, you were still at your mom's house?
02:44Yeah, it was like at nine in the morning.
02:46And when did you leave your mom's house on Sunday?
02:48After his first nap at like noon.
02:50Okay.
02:50So how many hours did you actually spend as the single parent?
02:53From Friday when we left here.
02:55So Friday from about 11 all the way till Saturday at 10.
03:01Okay.
03:02And then again Sunday from whatever, noon to four.
03:09I'm not complaining.
03:11You kind of are.
03:12No, I like it.
03:13I'm just saying, doesn't that make sense?
03:14Like, all right, yeah.
03:16Hold on.
03:16You take care.
03:17Hold on.
03:18Lori, go ahead.
03:19Yeah, Brian, you got a lot of work to do.
03:24I have been raising three kids, two grandsons, and now I'm going to be a great-grandmother.
03:31Oh, congratulations.
03:31Thank you, and you do not pass the parenting thing on to one when one comes home.
03:38It's a double job for both of you.
03:41Right, but one was doing the double job for the weekend.
03:46Uh-uh.
03:46You were being a parent.
03:49That's all there is to it.
03:50You were being a parent.
03:52Right.
03:52I mean, well, she ran off and abandoned the family for a weekend.
03:55Oh, my God.
03:56She did not.
03:58Wow.
03:58Well, hey, Lori, when you get to where you're going, stop and say some prayers for Ryan
04:03when he gets home today, okay?
04:05Yeah, and boot check.
04:06Oh, boot check.
04:08Nice.
04:08Have a good day, Lori.
04:10You too.
04:11All right, bye.
04:12My buddy Mike just texted me and said, I think it's, oh, boy, that's going to be a good one.
04:16He should just take the loss on this one.
04:19Yeah, most people are saying that.
04:21Murray said on our Facebook, we're live on Facebook here if you want to jump on the conversation
04:25there.
04:26Murray said, give her time to decompress from her trip.
04:28What?
04:29No.
04:30You went on a trip and had fun with your friends.
04:34You come home, you jump back into it.
04:36How dare she have a life outside of you.
04:37No, I'm saying.
04:39Yeah, you can go and do that, but you come back, you got to jump back into it.
04:43Don't get to decompress.
04:45Isn't that what the drive home's for?
04:47She wasn't driving.
04:48She was sitting in the back.
04:48You weren't simply sharing responsibilities like you do when both of you were there.
04:51You wanted her to pick up 100% because you had Finn for about eight hours.
04:54Well, not 100%, but do maybe a couple of the things.
04:57Feed him the lunch and feed him dinner and change his diaper once or twice.
05:00I've been feeding the kid all damn weekend.
05:04You were doing so well up till now.
05:07Hold on.
05:07Hey, Jenny.
05:08Intern Jenny's with us this morning.
05:10Hey.
05:10Jenny, as you look at Ryan Logan to my left here, what do you think?
05:14What's your opinion on Grant Trudy?
05:15On one hand, kids are so overstimulating.
05:17You have to do everything for them.
05:20But also, on the other hand, traveling's a lot of work, and it's exhausting.
05:24Oh, my God.
05:25And she should have just relaxed a little bit and kicked her feet up.
05:29Because realistically, you only had him for what?
05:31Like a day and a half?
05:32If that.
05:33Yeah, if that.
05:34Like two days.
05:35Yeah.
05:36Not really.
05:36I would get it, but like, you know.
05:39Hell, Heidi should have gone to your mom's house and helped out there based on how long Liz had the kid.
05:46So you're saying, give mom a break when she gets in.
05:50Honestly, let her relax.
05:51She just had a weekend of a break.
05:57Not being with the kid, no matter what else you're doing, is having a break.
06:01I hope, Jenny, someday you find somebody that makes you really happy and he's not like him.
06:04Okay?
06:05Just saying.
06:06Heidi's happy.
06:08If you have to announce your wife, my wife's happy.
06:12Hold on, it's Hangman.
06:13Hangman, hey, buddy.
06:15Boot check.
06:16Boot check.
06:17What do you think, ma'am?
06:19Ryan, Ryan, Ryan, you are a father of a child.
06:24Yeah.
06:24You have full responsibilities 24-7 every day of the week.
06:28There is no time off just because she went on a vacation, as you say, and came back.
06:36Yeah, she could have changed the diaper, you say.
06:39But until you realize you're a father and what if Heidi doesn't come back?
06:45She's just going to leave us?
06:48Right.
06:48Now, what are you going to do?
06:49Well, yeah, I'm going to obviously, see, I think everybody's seeing this the wrong way.
06:54I'm not like you get home and everything is done for you.
06:58Like, or that you have to do everything.
07:01It's just like, do a couple more of the things.
07:05Yeah.
07:05Like, to whine about having to change his diaper when you get home from a trip.
07:09I'm sorry you went and got hammered with your friends all weekend.
07:12That's not on me.
07:13You know?
07:14You're jealous that she took a trip.
07:16He is.
07:16Yeah, she gets to see her friends.
07:19It's a rarity for me these days.
07:20By the way, hangman, somebody texted and said, what about Ryan's golf outage?
07:23You go see your friends.
07:25Yeah.
07:25Let's talk to her about that one.
07:27It's going to be a battle of finny.
07:28Hey, that's not good.
07:31All right.
07:32Hangman, good to hear from you, buddy.
07:33Be safe out there, okay?
07:34Yep.
07:34Be doing.
07:35Yep.
07:35All right.
07:35Later.
07:36Hi, Chase.
07:38Yeah.
07:38Go ahead, man.
07:40Ryan, my man, you are digging a hole.
07:43I love you guys.
07:45I love this bit.
07:46But, my man, you are digging a hole.
07:47Oh, boy.
07:49All right.
07:49Well, thoughts and prayers for Ryan after the show, Chase.
07:52We'll talk to you soon, okay, bud?
07:53Sounds good.
07:54You guys have a good one.
07:55You too, man.
07:55Thanks for listening there, buddy.
07:57Tony, go ahead.
07:59Hey, I think Ryan is completely right, 100%.
08:02Boom.
08:03All right.
08:03Why?
08:04Why?
08:05Huh?
08:06Why?
08:07He's right.
08:08But he should learn a lesson from this.
08:10If he goes away for a weekend, when he comes back, he should go hang out somewhere for
08:15another day.
08:16I'm just a late.
08:19Because I'm sorry, but I've gotten through the door many times after having, like, a longer
08:24day here, or we have to go somewhere after the show.
08:26Right.
08:27And it's been here.
08:28Take him.
08:29Wait.
08:29I don't get to decompress from my day.
08:32Yeah.
08:32You know?
08:33This decompress stuff.
08:35That's what the drive home was for.
08:37She didn't drive.
08:39She sat in the back and ate McDonald's on the way home.
08:42That's right.
08:43He had to decompress with her Mickey D's.
08:46Right.
08:47We're agreeing with him, Tony.
08:48I love it.
08:49Tony, have a good morning.
08:50Boot check.
08:51Oh.
08:52Boot check.
08:52Later.
08:53248-398-9279.
08:56Hi, Anna.
08:56Good morning.
08:58Good morning, Jim.
08:58How are you?
08:59I'm wonderful.
09:00You want to talk to the idiot to my left?
09:04Ryan, Ryan, Ryan, the things you have to learn.
09:07She carried and nurtured that child for nine months straight.
09:10You go ahead and do that for nine months straight, and then you'll have an argument.
09:14Okay.
09:14See, this is where things are split.
09:17Don't do it.
09:18No.
09:18No, go ahead.
09:20Okay.
09:21Don't do it.
09:21All right.
09:22Never mind.
09:23I'm just saying.
09:25Do you think those nine months are a walk in the park for the guy?
09:30Oh, no.
09:31Did you hear those words come out of my mouth?
09:33No.
09:33But she did it for nine months.
09:36Nurtured and carried that child.
09:37You do it for nine months.
09:39You do it for nine months.
09:40I told her.
09:43I've said before, I've had kidney stones like seven times, so I know what it's like.
09:47You are charming.
09:48I'm kidding.
09:49I'm kidding.
09:49Before people really start yelling at me, I'm kidding on that one.
09:52Be lucky we have security gates here, man.
09:54Oh, Ryan.
09:55I know.
09:56Ryan, you have a safe drive home, and good luck to you.
09:59When you get home.
10:03And boot check.
10:04Oh, boot check.
10:05Bye, Anna.
10:07Bye.
10:07There are a lot of people calling.
10:10Oh, man.
10:11Let me see.
10:12I'm a wife and a mom, and I agree with Ryan.
10:14She should help pick up the slack when she comes home.
10:16There you go from the 810.
10:18I like that.
10:19Do you?
10:20Okay.
10:20Yep.
10:21All right.
10:23There are a ton of calls we've got to get to.
10:25We're going to take a little break, catch our breath here.
10:26Ryan's going to.
10:27Is Heidi listening to any of this right now?
10:30The good thing is.
10:30She should be.
10:31We're on Facebook.
10:32It's not on Facebook Live or anything, or it's going to be forever.
10:36Okay.
10:37See, somebody really said, Leanne on Facebook, Ryan, stop keeping score when parenting.
10:42I don't think this is keeping score.
10:44I think this is like a courtesy thing.
10:46Like, hey, thanks.
10:47You took him all weekend.
10:48Yes.
10:48You got to go away.
10:49Awesome.
10:50You had a great time.
10:51So you're saying it's not about keeping score?
10:54No, not at all.
10:56Then why do you have a scoreboard over your bed?
10:58Don't.
10:59Right?
10:59Stop saying that stuff.
11:00People believe it.
11:01By the way, if you look at your scoreboard over your bed tonight, it's going to have a
11:03big zero on it, dude.
11:07Are we still on?
11:12Yeah.
11:13Why don't we duck off?
11:14Because we're going to.
11:14Okay.
11:14Yeah.
11:14We're going to take a break here.
11:16Just dump in stuff from your spice rack.
