Last Day of 55, Raising a Baby Genius & The Downside to Mr Fun Guy : Episode 30 Part 1

1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:10,200
Our one wall in our great room where we spend most of our time, there's a fireplace, there's fireplace tools, there's things, there's a, there's a fencing foil, like hang in there.

2
00:00:10,680 --> 00:00:18,580
There's, there's, there's a bow and arrow right next to the couch, machetes, but there's stuff all over the shelves, all within reach of her.

3
00:00:19,040 --> 00:00:24,160
And not like I, I could care less about, she'll, she's going to break stuff and there's, okay.

4
00:00:24,620 --> 00:00:28,720
But I'm just worried about like, well, there's so much, there's so many hard edges.

5
00:00:28,840 --> 00:00:33,220
I'm like, there aren't enough pool noodles in the city for me to cover every hard edge.

6
00:00:45,800 --> 00:00:53,940
This is the gray hair and daycare podcast with a combined age of 111 years and a combined IQ right in that same range.

7
00:00:54,600 --> 00:00:58,540
Your hosts, Frank Syrio and Carlo Russo.

8
00:00:59,560 --> 00:01:00,640
Welcome back.

9
00:01:01,100 --> 00:01:01,960
Here we are.

10
00:01:02,040 --> 00:01:02,940
We're back, Frankie.

11
00:01:03,220 --> 00:01:13,880
It is the last, it is the, this is the last time I can say, as I usually do, that I am Frank Syrio.

12
00:01:14,180 --> 00:01:20,320
I'm 55 years old and my little girl is six months and five days old because tomorrow's my birthday.

13
00:01:20,460 --> 00:01:21,040
I'm gonna be 56.

14
00:01:21,040 --> 00:01:23,820
Happy birthday to you, Frank.

15
00:01:24,380 --> 00:01:25,080
Yes, it is.

16
00:01:25,160 --> 00:01:25,920
It's your birthday.

17
00:01:26,320 --> 00:01:28,440
You're 56 tomorrow.

18
00:01:28,660 --> 00:01:29,320
I'll be 56.

19
00:01:30,820 --> 00:01:35,460
Tomorrow is the one day of the year that we are the, well, there's two days.

20
00:01:35,700 --> 00:01:35,800
Yeah.

21
00:01:35,800 --> 00:01:37,420
Because yours is the same 13th.

22
00:01:37,460 --> 00:01:37,640
Yeah.

23
00:01:37,780 --> 00:01:39,620
This is the 13th minus the 11th.

24
00:01:39,800 --> 00:01:43,180
So did you know that September is the biggest birthday month of the year?

25
00:01:43,320 --> 00:01:49,700
You know, I didn't know that as a fact, but I always thought that because everybody I run into the majority of people go, I was born in September.

26
00:01:49,840 --> 00:01:50,600
I was born in September.

27
00:01:50,660 --> 00:01:52,380
I'm like, okay, that must be mean something.

28
00:01:52,760 --> 00:01:54,040
So what's nine months prior to that?

29
00:01:54,380 --> 00:01:55,240
Where it's really cold.

30
00:01:55,780 --> 00:01:57,060
It's just, it's January.

31
00:01:57,460 --> 00:01:58,980
Let's get, yeah, let's get comfy.

32
00:01:59,260 --> 00:01:59,960
That's what it is.

33
00:02:00,140 --> 00:02:03,600
It's either that or it's the Christmas gift for the dad.

34
00:02:03,740 --> 00:02:04,360
That's right.

35
00:02:05,060 --> 00:02:06,140
So here we are.

36
00:02:06,760 --> 00:02:09,720
I am about to be 56 years old.

37
00:02:09,960 --> 00:02:12,140
The baby is a little baby.

38
00:02:12,220 --> 00:02:15,200
Josie is six months and five days old.

39
00:02:15,920 --> 00:02:24,400
And we have lots of, uh, lots of fun stuff to talk about and a betrayal of our equipment that has made this a hellish experience.

40
00:02:24,400 --> 00:02:24,500
Yeah.

41
00:02:24,500 --> 00:02:32,040
We have a new studio, which a lot of people have liked so far the way it looks on screen, wherever you watch your podcasts.

42
00:02:32,300 --> 00:02:33,800
But, uh, yeah, it looks nice.

43
00:02:33,860 --> 00:02:34,420
It looks nice.

44
00:02:34,420 --> 00:02:36,200
But the camera, the brand new camera.

45
00:02:37,080 --> 00:02:38,480
It keeps overheating.

46
00:02:38,600 --> 00:02:40,020
We don't know why it didn't do it last time.

47
00:02:40,120 --> 00:02:41,320
But you think you know why now?

48
00:02:41,320 --> 00:02:42,460
Maybe we'll see.

49
00:02:42,600 --> 00:02:44,220
But if not hammer.

50
00:02:44,880 --> 00:02:47,180
Somebody's getting a new old camera.

51
00:02:47,640 --> 00:02:54,540
Man, it was awful, but we are, we are back and hopefully everything is going to keep, keep recording like it's supposed to.

52
00:02:54,620 --> 00:02:55,280
This looks fine.

53
00:02:55,360 --> 00:02:57,320
And we will go from there.

54
00:02:57,360 --> 00:02:58,540
So we're going to start off.

55
00:02:59,320 --> 00:02:59,720
Tell me.

56
00:02:59,980 --> 00:03:01,340
With Book Report.

57
00:03:03,180 --> 00:03:06,120
Now Book Report is always not a book.

58
00:03:06,260 --> 00:03:10,140
It's an article or something that somebody told you.

59
00:03:10,140 --> 00:03:14,380
Yes, it's a story that some stranger told me.

60
00:03:14,420 --> 00:03:16,720
You read the package.

61
00:03:17,360 --> 00:03:17,640
Yes.

62
00:03:17,800 --> 00:03:22,780
So this time Book Report is an article that I found on Psychology Today.

63
00:03:23,260 --> 00:03:23,680
Nice.

64
00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:28,280
Psychology Today has had some great articles about childhood development and things like that.

65
00:03:28,560 --> 00:03:34,820
And the article is about teaching a kid how to think like a genius.

66
00:03:35,940 --> 00:03:47,320
And the premise, kind of the premise of the article, which I thought is timely, is AI and how powerful it's becoming and how things are changing.

67
00:03:47,840 --> 00:03:49,980
Kelly and I were talking about this this morning.

68
00:03:50,140 --> 00:03:54,640
We're talking about starting a 529 program, right?

69
00:03:54,700 --> 00:03:57,920
So to start saving for baby Josie's education.

70
00:03:58,260 --> 00:03:58,960
Bank account talk.

71
00:03:59,180 --> 00:04:06,740
And I'm thinking by the time she is that age, I don't even know what it's going to be like, right?

72
00:04:06,920 --> 00:04:09,640
Like what is higher education going to be like?

73
00:04:09,760 --> 00:04:10,380
Are colleges...

74
00:04:10,380 --> 00:04:20,160
Because right now we're kind of, I think, at a turning point where people are starting to see that that kind of formal education is a lot of times just throwing good money after bad, right?

75
00:04:20,320 --> 00:04:28,480
A lot of people have seen it more as a business for the schools and educational process for us to have to go through.

76
00:04:28,500 --> 00:04:28,800
Right.

77
00:04:28,960 --> 00:04:33,680
Or worse yet, you're spending a lot of money to have your kid indoctrinated into...

78
00:04:33,680 --> 00:04:34,260
Oh, that's...

79
00:04:34,260 --> 00:04:38,260
A whole different kind of a philosophy from what you wanted to raise them with.

80
00:04:38,840 --> 00:04:47,880
Setting all that stuff aside, thinking about AI is good at what schools have always been focused on, right?

81
00:04:47,920 --> 00:04:54,100
Like when you send your kid to public school or we went to public school, it's about kind of...

82
00:04:54,100 --> 00:05:02,360
The learning that you do is about kind of recall, it's memorization and kind of process-based.

83
00:05:02,360 --> 00:05:06,520
So it's learning how to do something or remembering certain facts.

84
00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:08,920
It's not about...

85
00:05:08,920 --> 00:05:10,000
It was a formula, right?

86
00:05:10,100 --> 00:05:12,120
There was like when you learn a...

87
00:05:12,120 --> 00:05:16,280
Yeah, I think that's basically it's recall and understanding.

88
00:05:16,400 --> 00:05:19,380
Understanding concepts and remembering facts.

89
00:05:19,560 --> 00:05:19,660
Right.

90
00:05:20,240 --> 00:05:23,460
AI is better than everybody at that, right?

91
00:05:23,740 --> 00:05:29,380
It knows everything, it understands process and it has the ultimate kind of recall.

92
00:05:29,380 --> 00:05:33,800
So how is baby Josie going to operate?

93
00:05:34,220 --> 00:05:36,320
Because that stuff becomes kind of meaningless, right?

94
00:05:36,340 --> 00:05:41,160
If you're good at what they're teaching you at school, it's already in your phone, right?

95
00:05:41,300 --> 00:05:42,040
Somebody that...

96
00:05:42,040 --> 00:05:45,060
All that AI is so much better than an average human.

97
00:05:45,060 --> 00:05:46,180
And we're at the top of...

98
00:05:46,180 --> 00:05:47,420
We're at the beginning of AI.

99
00:05:47,800 --> 00:05:48,680
Yeah, so...

100
00:05:49,800 --> 00:05:50,520
She's going to see...

101
00:05:51,180 --> 00:05:52,960
She's going to be living AI.

102
00:05:53,480 --> 00:05:54,320
Completely different world.

103
00:05:54,320 --> 00:06:04,840
So what the article talks about is what AI doesn't do is the kind of genius thinking and the model that they use is Da Vinci.

104
00:06:05,100 --> 00:06:11,900
And they're thinking that really a genius connects knowledge across disciplines, right?

105
00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:22,840
So a large language model, AI stuff is good at knowing specific things and particular things, but it doesn't necessarily make connections across disciplines.

106
00:06:22,840 --> 00:06:28,940
When you think about Da Vinci, it was art and he connected art to anatomy.

107
00:06:29,120 --> 00:06:31,200
And understanding anatomy informed his art.

108
00:06:31,320 --> 00:06:34,900
And understanding arithmetic informed his engineering.

109
00:06:35,480 --> 00:06:41,780
It was the idea of he would make these connections, these leaps between sciences.

110
00:06:42,160 --> 00:06:44,740
AI will definitely do that eventually.

111
00:06:45,080 --> 00:06:52,460
Eventually it will, but right now it's much more...

112
00:06:52,980 --> 00:06:53,260
Right?

113
00:06:53,680 --> 00:06:58,540
Which is great, but it's not going to come up with those creative leaps.

114
00:06:58,820 --> 00:07:01,700
Maybe someday it will, but right now it doesn't.

115
00:07:01,980 --> 00:07:07,980
So getting kids to focus on and educating them in a way that makes those connections.

116
00:07:07,980 --> 00:07:17,480
And the example that they gave was kind of like a Montessori school where they give kids a project and say, break the kids up into teams and they're going to design a catapult.

117
00:07:18,020 --> 00:07:20,000
So it allows them to...

118
00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:26,460
Then they go and they study history and they look at ancient war machines and catapults and trebuchets and all these things.

119
00:07:27,300 --> 00:07:29,600
And then they study the physics of how it works.

120
00:07:29,660 --> 00:07:37,440
And then they understand the math and they start to look at the length of the arm and the difference in how far it can throw something.

121
00:07:37,900 --> 00:07:43,420
And then they look at communication and they graph out their results and they can create a presentation.

122
00:07:43,760 --> 00:07:45,240
At the same time, they're building their brain.

123
00:07:45,360 --> 00:07:46,760
I mean, they're creating...

124
00:07:46,760 --> 00:07:57,420
They're learning all these things, but they're also learning to connect history and physics and mathematics and communication across disciplines in a very unique way.

125
00:07:57,820 --> 00:08:01,700
What is different between what AI is doing, collecting all information?

126
00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:02,860
Because that's what it's doing, right?

127
00:08:02,920 --> 00:08:08,360
AI is collecting everything that's ever been said or done to this project, to this idea that you give it.

128
00:08:08,580 --> 00:08:08,960
I think...

129
00:08:08,960 --> 00:08:10,400
So it's grabbing everything, right?

130
00:08:10,400 --> 00:08:15,840
A good example, I think, is like I was using AI just the other day for work.

131
00:08:15,840 --> 00:08:21,480
And what I'm doing is I'm looking at different locations, potential locations for the company I work for.

132
00:08:21,920 --> 00:08:23,360
And I was telling...

133
00:08:23,360 --> 00:08:28,920
I was basically telling AI, look, I have these five locations and this is how they perform.

134
00:08:29,420 --> 00:08:35,760
And I'm looking at these other five locations as a potential for the next location, which one's best?

135
00:08:35,980 --> 00:08:42,360
And it gave me some answers, but the answers were only as good as the detail that I gave it.

136
00:08:42,360 --> 00:08:46,320
It didn't make connections that I didn't ask it for.

137
00:08:46,340 --> 00:08:47,500
It didn't go beyond what you said.

138
00:08:47,580 --> 00:08:47,760
Right.

139
00:08:47,880 --> 00:08:53,380
I told it, these are the sales and these are the cities in which those sales happened.

140
00:08:53,920 --> 00:08:59,380
Now look at these cities and tell me which one's going to be a better place for me to open a new venue.

141
00:09:00,100 --> 00:09:02,440
And it just superficially, that was it.

142
00:09:02,620 --> 00:09:13,020
Oh, here, because it made some assumptions about the demographics of the market and how much available income those people have.

143
00:09:13,400 --> 00:09:15,720
And that must be what it is.

144
00:09:15,820 --> 00:09:19,080
Where I started to then give it different breakdowns.

145
00:09:19,200 --> 00:09:25,880
And no, I want you to look at the population in a wider area.

146
00:09:26,220 --> 00:09:29,260
You were creating its search.

147
00:09:30,080 --> 00:09:31,960
Essentially, I have to inform it.

148
00:09:32,240 --> 00:09:32,860
And that's what...

149
00:09:32,860 --> 00:09:33,260
What to do.

150
00:09:33,440 --> 00:09:39,700
There's whole curriculums now around how you build queries for AI.

151
00:09:39,700 --> 00:09:40,300
Right.

152
00:09:40,320 --> 00:09:41,500
Prompt building for AI.

153
00:09:42,160 --> 00:09:47,740
So right now, as powerful as it is, it's only as good as the mind that's guiding it.

154
00:09:48,220 --> 00:09:52,480
And it's not going to make those leaps of connections.

155
00:09:53,400 --> 00:09:56,560
If a person tells it to, then yes, it will.

156
00:09:56,880 --> 00:09:58,760
Do you think AI will never be...

157
00:09:59,440 --> 00:10:02,580
It's going to be probably a lot.

158
00:10:02,800 --> 00:10:04,180
It's going to be all over the place.

159
00:10:04,420 --> 00:10:07,240
Do you think the difference is because I heard a lot...

160
00:10:07,240 --> 00:10:11,040
It's never going to be really what we fear because it's soulless?

161
00:10:12,320 --> 00:10:13,260
I don't know.

162
00:10:13,280 --> 00:10:13,940
Do you think that's going to...

163
00:10:13,940 --> 00:10:15,120
I don't know about all of those.

164
00:10:15,260 --> 00:10:17,800
I don't know about any of those things because I don't understand.

165
00:10:19,160 --> 00:10:22,760
I think ultimately what I always come back to when I think about that stuff is our faith.

166
00:10:22,900 --> 00:10:23,040
Right.

167
00:10:23,100 --> 00:10:24,300
It's not a person.

168
00:10:24,500 --> 00:10:25,320
It doesn't have a soul.

169
00:10:25,640 --> 00:10:26,040
That's what I mean.

170
00:10:26,160 --> 00:10:28,040
It can only think it has a soul.

171
00:10:28,320 --> 00:10:29,780
I don't have a good answer for that.

172
00:10:29,960 --> 00:10:38,040
I do think though, with the way it grows and how quickly things accelerate with that stuff, it's going to be in our lifetime.

173
00:10:38,220 --> 00:10:38,980
It'll be scary.

174
00:10:39,340 --> 00:10:39,500
Right.

175
00:10:39,700 --> 00:10:39,940
Yeah.

176
00:10:40,360 --> 00:10:42,620
It already can be.

177
00:10:42,980 --> 00:10:43,120
Yeah.

178
00:10:43,240 --> 00:10:50,900
I was talking to my son who's 24 and he says 99% of whatever he's doing is AI stuff.

179
00:10:51,560 --> 00:10:52,020
Oh yeah.

180
00:10:52,600 --> 00:10:53,560
I'm not surprised at all.

181
00:10:53,560 --> 00:10:53,980
And he's 24.

182
00:10:54,220 --> 00:11:00,620
So he's, God willing, has a long life ahead of him and they're already thrown into this and they understand it.

183
00:11:01,480 --> 00:11:04,420
They understand it like they were born with it and they weren't.

184
00:11:05,020 --> 00:11:06,220
I think they're just younger.

185
00:11:06,320 --> 00:11:07,220
Their brain can kind of.

186
00:11:08,240 --> 00:11:09,200
They're used to that.

187
00:11:09,280 --> 00:11:09,560
Yeah.

188
00:11:09,620 --> 00:11:11,020
They grew up with the internet.

189
00:11:11,740 --> 00:11:13,140
We're still like, well, okay.

190
00:11:13,360 --> 00:11:15,540
You ask a 50 something year old about AI.

191
00:11:15,880 --> 00:11:19,860
If you're not like you were looking into it and all that, you're going to be like me.

192
00:11:20,020 --> 00:11:20,360
Yeah.

193
00:11:20,360 --> 00:11:21,780
I know it does a lot of stuff.

194
00:11:22,000 --> 00:11:22,140
Right.

195
00:11:22,240 --> 00:11:23,060
Now it's just like.

196
00:11:23,280 --> 00:11:23,420
Everything.

197
00:11:23,740 --> 00:11:23,880
Yeah.

198
00:11:23,900 --> 00:11:24,620
Everything you do here.

199
00:11:24,620 --> 00:11:26,120
Almost everything we do for the podcast.

200
00:11:26,560 --> 00:11:27,920
Basically, I take the recording.

201
00:11:28,120 --> 00:11:29,220
It transcribes it.

202
00:11:29,300 --> 00:11:30,400
I take that transcription.

203
00:11:30,840 --> 00:11:32,640
I give it to a different AI.

204
00:11:33,140 --> 00:11:37,360
That AI comes up with a creative title to use for the video file.

205
00:11:37,540 --> 00:11:39,280
It gives me a description.

206
00:11:39,520 --> 00:11:41,760
It goes chapter markers with a little funny comment.

207
00:11:42,240 --> 00:11:44,540
Like it's like I could never do.

208
00:11:44,760 --> 00:11:47,120
It would take a team of 10 people to do this podcast.

209
00:11:47,900 --> 00:11:56,360
So to get back to the article, are we, as this goes higher, are people going to get less educated, like smarter?

210
00:11:56,500 --> 00:11:58,180
Because we now just have to.

211
00:11:58,240 --> 00:11:58,920
I think.

212
00:11:59,100 --> 00:12:01,180
We now speak in AI prompts.

213
00:12:01,180 --> 00:12:20,300
I just read an article of the guy who really was one of the founding fathers of the technology behind AI basically says he believes it's going to create unemployment on a scale that people can't even imagine because it will in many ways.

214
00:12:20,360 --> 00:12:20,720
It already does.

215
00:12:20,860 --> 00:12:24,080
Like we always thought, and I think we've said this before on the podcast.

216
00:12:24,300 --> 00:12:28,140
We always thought the robots were going to take over the factory jobs.

217
00:12:28,240 --> 00:12:28,520
Yeah.

218
00:12:28,580 --> 00:12:28,840
Right.

219
00:12:29,020 --> 00:12:29,680
We've said that for.

220
00:12:29,680 --> 00:12:33,580
No, the robots, the AI, now it eliminates.

221
00:12:34,640 --> 00:12:35,360
Robots.

222
00:12:35,860 --> 00:12:39,020
It eliminates graphic designers.

223
00:12:39,180 --> 00:12:39,500
I know.

224
00:12:39,740 --> 00:12:40,460
Copywriters.

225
00:12:41,560 --> 00:12:43,400
We're worried about factory work.

226
00:12:43,460 --> 00:12:43,560
Yeah.

227
00:12:43,680 --> 00:12:53,100
Copywriters, movie editors, writers, a lot more creative stuff or skill-based in the creative arts.

228
00:12:53,720 --> 00:12:53,880
Yeah.

229
00:12:54,020 --> 00:12:55,100
So I don't know.

230
00:12:55,100 --> 00:12:59,600
I would like to believe that it's going to free people up to be even.

231
00:12:59,880 --> 00:13:00,160
To do what?

232
00:13:00,220 --> 00:13:01,700
To be even more creative.

233
00:13:01,960 --> 00:13:12,620
But I think in all likelihood, it's going to change the economics of how our world works because being smarter than the next guy will start to mean less.

234
00:13:12,660 --> 00:13:12,900
Yeah.

235
00:13:13,220 --> 00:13:25,200
Which can be good in many ways because I would like to think, well, you know, it's never going to be able to create music or art or things, but it, but it kind of already in many ways is.

236
00:13:25,360 --> 00:13:26,720
It's going to get so much better than what.

237
00:13:26,800 --> 00:13:27,160
Right.

238
00:13:27,220 --> 00:13:28,020
You're hearing now.

239
00:13:28,300 --> 00:13:28,560
Yeah.

240
00:13:28,720 --> 00:13:32,540
So five years from now, we're not going to know what the difference between a song.

241
00:13:32,860 --> 00:13:37,220
Five years for that kind of technology is like.

242
00:13:37,380 --> 00:13:37,580
A hundred.

243
00:13:37,740 --> 00:13:39,560
Is hundreds of years for people.

244
00:13:40,360 --> 00:13:43,120
Just between the time that we heard about AI.

245
00:13:43,620 --> 00:13:43,800
Yeah.

246
00:13:44,020 --> 00:13:52,680
And now the difference that we've seen like before is like, you can tell that's AI and yes, you can still do, but it's gotten so much better and quicker.

247
00:13:52,680 --> 00:13:56,920
And like you said, things that we use just on a normal podcast.

248
00:13:57,300 --> 00:13:57,420
Yeah.

249
00:13:57,500 --> 00:13:59,440
That you would have to have a staff of people before.

250
00:13:59,760 --> 00:14:00,160
Editing.

251
00:14:00,420 --> 00:14:01,260
In the time.

252
00:14:01,620 --> 00:14:01,760
Drawing.

253
00:14:02,160 --> 00:14:09,760
In the time that we went and over our lifetime, we went from VCRs to streaming.

254
00:14:10,080 --> 00:14:10,280
Yeah.

255
00:14:10,520 --> 00:14:10,780
Right.

256
00:14:10,880 --> 00:14:12,040
Now there was all those steps.

257
00:14:12,300 --> 00:14:19,540
It was VCRs and then it was, and then there was a, then there were DVDs and then there were Blu-rays and then eventually it was streaming.

258
00:14:19,760 --> 00:14:21,160
So that took however long it took.

259
00:14:21,160 --> 00:14:24,680
In that 25 years, AI is going to do things that we can't even imagine.

260
00:14:24,680 --> 00:14:25,140
Oh my God.

261
00:14:25,340 --> 00:14:25,840
25 years.

262
00:14:25,860 --> 00:14:27,820
We can't even imagine what it's going to do.

263
00:14:28,080 --> 00:14:44,960
So for her, like, so my point was when I was talking with Kelly earlier, I'm like, if we're going to put money into a 529 and all it can do is, and then all you can do with that money is formal like college education, I would rather just invest money for her.

264
00:14:45,800 --> 00:14:47,940
I would rather, that's one thing I believe I learned.

265
00:14:48,000 --> 00:14:48,120
Yeah.

266
00:14:48,120 --> 00:14:49,120
Because the world will be different.

267
00:14:49,120 --> 00:14:51,120
I learned too late in life.

268
00:14:51,800 --> 00:15:01,340
I think the only way you're going to survive in this new economy, whatever it becomes, is if you are doing something, if you, if you're working for yourself.

269
00:15:01,460 --> 00:15:05,980
If I had met my boss that I work for now for, I've worked for him for 12 years.

270
00:15:06,100 --> 00:15:15,000
If I had met him when I was 20, 25, instead of 45, I would have, I would, I would be in

271
00:15:15,000 --> 00:15:21,060
a very different position now because it is the, his risk tolerance and his, I mean, he's

272
00:15:21,060 --> 00:15:29,040
a brilliant guy to begin with, but he was willing to take chances that when I was the same age

273
00:15:29,040 --> 00:15:35,440
he was, when he started really rolling the dice on his own talent, I would never near,

274
00:15:35,580 --> 00:15:37,420
I would never have tried that opportunity.

275
00:15:37,600 --> 00:15:45,440
No, I just, I never, I would never have taken a chance, the chances that he took, but as a result, he's built himself a heck of a lot.

276
00:15:46,560 --> 00:15:47,840
Easier than us, hopefully.

277
00:15:48,120 --> 00:15:48,440
Absolutely.

278
00:15:49,420 --> 00:15:58,860
So for her, I would much rather put a big pile of money in front of her and say, you want to, you want to go to, you want to go to college and you want to, you want to get a master's, you want to go be a doctor?

279
00:15:59,160 --> 00:15:59,580
Here you go.

280
00:15:59,960 --> 00:16:01,480
Or do you want to start a business?

281
00:16:01,760 --> 00:16:02,420
There you go.

282
00:16:02,680 --> 00:16:02,920
Or.

283
00:16:03,780 --> 00:16:06,980
Or, or we're just talking about, I say or a lot.

284
00:16:07,060 --> 00:16:07,160
Yeah.

285
00:16:07,920 --> 00:16:09,960
Some of my friends don't like it.

286
00:16:10,620 --> 00:16:11,920
I don't like it at all.

287
00:16:12,220 --> 00:16:14,080
Luckily the ones who don't, don't watch.

288
00:16:14,580 --> 00:16:14,680
Yeah.

289
00:16:14,860 --> 00:16:22,980
But college, like you're, you're thinking with our brain now, college might not even be an option 18 years from now.

290
00:16:23,160 --> 00:16:28,820
It might be like, or that is an option, but no one's doing it anymore.

291
00:16:28,960 --> 00:16:31,340
I don't think anybody, I honestly think that's what it's going to be.

292
00:16:31,700 --> 00:16:41,200
People are understanding that, look, the best employee I have, the best employee I have ever had has never set foot in a school his entire life.

293
00:16:41,200 --> 00:16:45,440
Right now he's a unique person and he has his own unique gifts and talents.

294
00:16:46,260 --> 00:16:58,100
Not everybody might be able to do that, but the resources that are available now online, even without talking about AI, just the, your access to information, it's, it's such a different world.

295
00:16:58,400 --> 00:17:03,520
I don't think people are going to place value on, you know, on that stuff the way they did.

296
00:17:03,660 --> 00:17:23,619
But I think in teaching a child, I think about it all the time when I'm, I'm looking at, especially at this, she's only six months old, but I look at her and I see, we're like a lot of times in the morning when we wake up, Kelly will take her out of the cradle wise and put her in bed between us.

297
00:17:24,660 --> 00:17:37,880
And the other day she's laying there and she looks at, she looks at Kelly and then she'll roll over and she'll look at me and then she just takes her hand and she goes, and she's going, looking at her hand and doing it.

298
00:17:37,900 --> 00:17:39,840
And she's just figuring things out.

299
00:17:40,420 --> 00:17:48,320
And I, and I'm watching her just, it just every day, it's something new she's doing and figuring out and she's watching and paying attention.

300
00:17:48,580 --> 00:17:50,640
And it's so ground level at that.

301
00:17:50,720 --> 00:17:51,940
There's no computers.

302
00:17:52,300 --> 00:17:53,720
It's like, what is this?

303
00:17:54,440 --> 00:18:00,500
Yeah, this is just, oh, I can reach my feet and I can think I can get that in my mouth.

304
00:18:00,500 --> 00:18:01,040
Right.

305
00:18:02,040 --> 00:18:03,680
It's, it's, I don't even know what a mouth is.

306
00:18:03,780 --> 00:18:05,180
I'm like, I'm going to get that hole.

307
00:18:05,500 --> 00:18:05,860
Yeah.

308
00:18:06,040 --> 00:18:06,340
Yeah.

309
00:18:06,940 --> 00:18:10,560
Like we're giving her, we're doing this thing called baby led weaning.

310
00:18:10,680 --> 00:18:11,940
Have you ever heard of that?

311
00:18:12,060 --> 00:18:12,720
Baby what?

312
00:18:12,940 --> 00:18:14,000
Baby led weaning.

313
00:18:14,200 --> 00:18:14,300
Nope.

314
00:18:14,440 --> 00:18:15,120
This is fascinating.

315
00:18:15,780 --> 00:18:16,580
You're going to learn all about it.

316
00:18:16,600 --> 00:18:17,580
You can start it with a tally.

317
00:18:18,940 --> 00:18:22,660
It's a little late, but Nick's up.

318
00:18:23,640 --> 00:18:25,740
So you're watching her figuring things out.

319
00:18:25,760 --> 00:18:29,280
And I think about, look, I want to be able to do this stuff.

320
00:18:29,280 --> 00:18:32,500
And luckily I'm interested in and do, I love to do lots of things.

321
00:18:32,560 --> 00:18:37,200
So I can't wait to be like plop her down and be like, here, this is how you edit a podcast.

322
00:18:37,540 --> 00:18:39,500
And that's so much more different.

323
00:18:40,180 --> 00:18:42,080
Like from our parents.

324
00:18:42,340 --> 00:18:42,600
Yeah.

325
00:18:42,700 --> 00:18:48,640
I was just like, I had some of that stuff with my dad only as far as educational wise.

326
00:18:48,720 --> 00:18:50,560
Like, well, it wasn't like it was on purpose.

327
00:18:50,640 --> 00:18:53,820
It was, he needed somebody to hold the lumber while he was working on it.

328
00:18:54,200 --> 00:18:56,060
Ours was more like labor.

329
00:18:56,240 --> 00:18:56,840
You're the human vice.

330
00:18:56,960 --> 00:18:57,280
Yeah.

331
00:18:57,280 --> 00:19:01,560
I learned a lot by watching him, but it was only because I was bored.

332
00:19:02,400 --> 00:19:05,320
And, but it wasn't because he was like, so this is how you do this.

333
00:19:05,320 --> 00:19:06,660
It was hold this.

334
00:19:07,040 --> 00:19:08,460
And I had to hold it.

335
00:19:08,540 --> 00:19:15,820
My favorite thing was when he was, I always remember my father doing something with plumbing.

336
00:19:16,080 --> 00:19:17,760
And of course it was all copper plumbing.

337
00:19:17,780 --> 00:19:25,180
So he's, he's, you know, doing the solder and I'm holding the pipe and it's getting warmer and the solder is dripping on my hand.

338
00:19:25,180 --> 00:19:28,940
And I'm like, hold it still.

339
00:19:30,280 --> 00:19:32,120
Like it was always stuff like that.

340
00:19:32,300 --> 00:19:41,620
There was always an element of danger, but, but I did, I did learn a lot that way, but it was not, it was more like, it wasn't instructional at all.

341
00:19:41,660 --> 00:19:43,540
It was just like, Oh, watching.

342
00:19:43,780 --> 00:19:45,300
Oh, this is what he's doing.

343
00:19:45,400 --> 00:19:45,960
I get it.

344
00:19:46,000 --> 00:19:47,340
Two by four, hold this here.

345
00:19:48,400 --> 00:19:49,460
Don't let it move.

346
00:19:49,920 --> 00:19:51,040
I'll show you how to make a garden.

347
00:19:51,360 --> 00:19:51,880
So yeah.

348
00:19:51,920 --> 00:19:54,460
Being able to do that stuff, I'm looking forward to.

349
00:19:54,460 --> 00:20:01,180
And then thinking about, I do want to put it into kind of these, it's good for me to read that article and think about, okay.

350
00:20:01,600 --> 00:20:08,480
Cause I would be, I'm, I say I'm awful with history and natural, like natural sciences.

351
00:20:08,780 --> 00:20:15,460
Kelly is like, has an encyclopedic knowledge of nature and plants and birds.

352
00:20:15,560 --> 00:20:17,180
And it's like, she's God, I'm dumb.

353
00:20:17,360 --> 00:20:18,760
She's knows all this stuff.

354
00:20:18,860 --> 00:20:21,320
She makes me feel like I have no idea.

355
00:20:21,320 --> 00:20:22,900
She always says, everybody knows this.

356
00:20:22,960 --> 00:20:25,120
I'm like, no, everyone does not know these things.

357
00:20:26,280 --> 00:20:27,180
Everybody knows this.

358
00:20:27,220 --> 00:20:28,340
Did you read that in third grade?

359
00:20:29,580 --> 00:20:30,380
Third grade?

360
00:20:30,560 --> 00:20:31,180
Third grade.

361
00:20:31,280 --> 00:20:34,460
I was staring out the window from second to fifth.

362
00:20:35,000 --> 00:20:37,960
I was watching squirrels.

363
00:20:38,020 --> 00:20:41,200
Yeah, I was staring at a bird for an hour and a half out our window.

364
00:20:41,860 --> 00:20:47,560
So anyway, but I think it was a great article, psychology today, online, teaching a kid to think like a genius.

365
00:20:47,680 --> 00:20:49,220
I thought it was, it was very valuable.

366
00:20:49,220 --> 00:20:53,180
So that is our book report.

367
00:20:53,720 --> 00:20:55,720

And now what's next?

371
00:21:02,180 --> 00:21:06,980
One of my favorites, just because I like the name, the silver Fox mailbox.

372
00:21:08,480 --> 00:21:11,060
So for the silver Fox mailbox, uh, what do we got?

373
00:21:11,100 --> 00:21:11,480
What do we got?

374
00:21:11,580 --> 00:21:14,180
Our super fan, Christine, Christine, what's going on?

375
00:21:14,220 --> 00:21:15,080
She's always right there.

376
00:21:15,080 --> 00:21:21,480
I can't tell you how much it's comforting to know that there's, she's always going to have something for us.

377
00:21:21,600 --> 00:21:22,940
She really does communicate to us.

378
00:21:23,120 --> 00:21:23,360
It is.

379
00:21:23,440 --> 00:21:23,640
It's nice.

380
00:21:23,840 --> 00:21:25,320
More people need to join in.

381
00:21:25,520 --> 00:21:36,900
So we got both, we both got high fives from virtual high fives from Christine, me for sticking up for my wife when her mother was kind of mean to her, she felt like that was the right thing to do.

382
00:21:36,960 --> 00:21:41,780
And I, I sincerely appreciate hearing that from another wife.

383
00:21:41,780 --> 00:21:54,680
Interestingly enough, I think, I don't think anything that things have, things haven't improved really for between me and her parents, but I think things are good and I can see things are better.

384
00:21:55,420 --> 00:22:01,840
Like they're talking, so Kelly and her mom and her dad are communicating regularly.

385
00:22:02,060 --> 00:22:05,960
Again, I'm sure they're not asking how I am probably.

386
00:22:06,420 --> 00:22:08,220
Your invitation probably won't be in the mail.

387
00:22:08,500 --> 00:22:09,700
No, and that's okay.

388
00:22:09,700 --> 00:22:14,200
But because look, it comes down to, it's a, it's a pretty simple equation for me.

389
00:22:14,380 --> 00:22:33,020
My daughter is impacted by how Kelly is feeling and Kelly, her energy, Kelly feels better now because of what has happened and keeping that, those relationships framed the way they are than she did otherwise.

390
00:22:33,060 --> 00:22:33,400
Good.

391
00:22:33,540 --> 00:22:34,760
And that's all I care about.

392
00:22:34,780 --> 00:22:35,640
A little high five on that.

393
00:22:35,740 --> 00:22:36,020
Yeah.

394
00:22:36,120 --> 00:22:37,140
So that was, that was good.

395
00:22:37,140 --> 00:22:49,980
The high five for you was, I think you, you had commented how, I think it was, I think it might've been Natalia that went away on a trip and you, or it might've been Nick and you were calling like, call me when you get to the airport, call me when you land, all that.

396
00:22:50,180 --> 00:22:51,160
And she's like, good job.

397
00:22:51,320 --> 00:22:52,180
Let me tell you something.

398
00:22:53,140 --> 00:22:53,920
Whatever they do.

399
00:22:54,060 --> 00:23:09,520
The other day, the other day I was watching NFL started and I was watching, my team is the Buffalo Bills and, and you're going to hear this a couple of weeks, but game one, we had the comeback of the year, the game of the year.

400
00:23:10,460 --> 00:23:11,040
That was something.

401
00:23:11,260 --> 00:23:12,000
That was something.

402
00:23:12,240 --> 00:23:14,100
I just, I know nothing about football.

403
00:23:14,180 --> 00:23:19,980
I don't watch, but the girl on the morning news the next day was just talking.

404
00:23:20,180 --> 00:23:21,680
She was kind of talking through it.

405
00:23:21,680 --> 00:23:25,280
And I'm like, wow, this sounds like it would, I kind of felt like I wanted to watch.

406
00:23:25,320 --> 00:23:29,240
I'm going to, I'm going to show you a video if you haven't seen it yet that I did.

407
00:23:29,440 --> 00:23:30,400
Oh, no, I haven't seen it.

408
00:23:30,400 --> 00:23:31,860
As a Buffalo Bills fan.

409
00:23:31,920 --> 00:23:32,200
Okay.

410
00:23:32,200 --> 00:23:36,120
And you'll have the whole experience through this video.

411
00:23:36,200 --> 00:23:37,160
You guys can watch it.

412
00:23:37,440 --> 00:23:37,600
Watching you.

413
00:23:37,800 --> 00:23:40,480
It's called every Buffalo Bill fan watching the game.

414
00:23:40,980 --> 00:23:42,260
That's what I labeled it.

415
00:23:42,520 --> 00:23:43,160
That's awesome.

416
00:23:43,380 --> 00:23:44,040
Can't wait to see it.

417
00:23:44,240 --> 00:23:49,540
Speaking about the high five, my sons, because of me, I've become obviously Buffalo Bill fans.

418
00:23:49,760 --> 00:23:51,980
So my other son was in college, Nicholas.

419
00:23:52,100 --> 00:23:52,760
He was calling me.

420
00:23:52,840 --> 00:23:53,840
Are you seeing what's going on?

421
00:23:53,920 --> 00:23:58,680
And then I realized I haven't heard anything from my oldest son, Natale.

422
00:23:58,840 --> 00:23:59,140
Right.

423
00:23:59,140 --> 00:24:03,380
I heard from him at 746 saying, dad, are you ready for the game?

424
00:24:03,780 --> 00:24:05,780
I'm like, absolutely.

425
00:24:06,160 --> 00:24:06,380
Great.

426
00:24:06,560 --> 00:24:10,120
And then throughout the whole game, there was no, like, this sucks.

427
00:24:10,260 --> 00:24:11,400
Oh, my God, we're getting beat.

428
00:24:11,580 --> 00:24:12,340
Oh, I knew this.

429
00:24:12,680 --> 00:24:14,380
And I wasn't even thinking of it.

430
00:24:14,680 --> 00:24:17,600
You know, Nick was coming back and forth a couple of times, but nothing major.

431
00:24:18,520 --> 00:24:20,320
And then the big comeback and they win.

432
00:24:20,560 --> 00:24:26,400
And I realized, wait a minute, I haven't heard from my son Natale since 746.

433
00:24:27,040 --> 00:24:28,760
And this is a huge game.

434
00:24:28,760 --> 00:24:30,220
There is no way.

435
00:24:30,300 --> 00:24:31,440
That he's not interested.

436
00:24:31,700 --> 00:24:33,520
That he's not interested or not watching.

437
00:24:33,840 --> 00:24:37,240
So now my brain totally goes to the bad place.

438
00:24:37,520 --> 00:24:37,620
Right.

439
00:24:38,180 --> 00:24:38,660
Absolutely.

440
00:24:38,880 --> 00:24:40,020
I don't even give it a second.

441
00:24:40,100 --> 00:24:41,800
Something must be wrong.

442
00:24:42,100 --> 00:24:44,700
Because you know your family, you know your kids.

443
00:24:45,200 --> 00:24:46,580
This is a huge comeback.

444
00:24:46,780 --> 00:24:47,800
This is a huge game.

445
00:24:48,120 --> 00:24:49,080
First game of the year.

446
00:24:49,500 --> 00:24:53,360
My other son, who's in college, is calling me doing videos and all that.

447
00:24:53,580 --> 00:24:56,060
And I'm like, OK, what is going on?

448
00:24:56,380 --> 00:24:58,560
And for three hours, I freaked out.

449
00:24:58,760 --> 00:25:01,300
And I had to fall asleep not knowing.

450
00:25:01,580 --> 00:25:01,880
Oh, no.

451
00:25:02,180 --> 00:25:03,880
Oh, yeah, because it was it's late.

452
00:25:04,000 --> 00:25:04,860
The game gets over.

453
00:25:05,060 --> 00:25:07,780
The game was over like 1130, 12.

454
00:25:08,180 --> 00:25:12,060
So I call his I call his living girlfriend.

455
00:25:12,340 --> 00:25:13,300
She's not home.

456
00:25:13,760 --> 00:25:18,240
She's away at a wedding or what they call a bachelorette party out of town.

457
00:25:18,400 --> 00:25:22,040
OK, so she did come for me and say, well, I did.

458
00:25:22,140 --> 00:25:23,220
He did text me at 10.

459
00:25:24,020 --> 00:25:26,300
He might have fell asleep because we were losing.

460
00:25:26,560 --> 00:25:26,900
Right.

461
00:25:26,980 --> 00:25:27,860
But I went to bed.

462
00:25:27,860 --> 00:25:29,440
So it doesn't end ever.

463
00:25:29,640 --> 00:25:30,920
Never, ever, ever, never.

464
00:25:31,100 --> 00:25:31,800
Never ends.

465
00:25:31,960 --> 00:25:35,900
So, yeah, I tell them to call me every minute you go away.

466
00:25:36,080 --> 00:25:38,840
You're driving your airlines.

467
00:25:39,240 --> 00:25:41,040
Call me the minute I become my mother.

468
00:25:41,300 --> 00:25:41,840
That's funny.

469
00:25:42,200 --> 00:25:42,860
That's not going to stop.

470
00:25:42,960 --> 00:25:44,640
That was exactly what she commended you for.

471
00:25:44,720 --> 00:25:46,900
Like, that's what that's what a parent's job is.

472
00:25:46,980 --> 00:25:48,280
Keep your finger on that pulse.

473
00:25:48,460 --> 00:25:50,300
I wish I don't go right to horror.

474
00:25:50,620 --> 00:25:52,620
Yeah, that's got to be the worst part.

475
00:25:52,840 --> 00:25:55,540
I go right to something's wrong.

476
00:25:55,740 --> 00:25:56,900
Like somebody fell asleep.

477
00:25:56,900 --> 00:25:58,140
He's only been dead for two hours.

478
00:25:59,720 --> 00:26:01,480
Well, yeah, she was.

479
00:26:01,780 --> 00:26:02,140
Exactly.

480
00:26:02,280 --> 00:26:03,980
So I wish my mind can go.

481
00:26:04,200 --> 00:26:04,960
Well, you probably fell asleep.

482
00:26:05,060 --> 00:26:06,200
Yeah, but it doesn't.

483
00:26:06,240 --> 00:26:08,220
And well, welcome to this world.

484
00:26:08,280 --> 00:26:08,960
Is that what it was?

485
00:26:09,040 --> 00:26:11,060
He just fell asleep on the couch.

486
00:26:11,400 --> 00:26:12,040
I missed it.

487
00:26:12,260 --> 00:26:17,640
So so there was always great stuff from Christine.

488
00:26:17,800 --> 00:26:18,440
Thank you, Christine.

489
00:26:18,620 --> 00:26:19,500
Lots of positive.

490
00:26:19,600 --> 00:26:22,340
We did get lots of positive comments on the new our new set.

491
00:26:22,400 --> 00:26:22,680
Yes.

492
00:26:22,680 --> 00:26:24,380
And people liking that.

493
00:26:24,460 --> 00:26:27,140
It's a little more normal, warm looking.

494
00:26:27,480 --> 00:26:28,980
And we got a little more space.

495
00:26:29,040 --> 00:26:29,640
You feel like we're out.

496
00:26:29,720 --> 00:26:31,720
Yeah, there's more we can spread out a little bit.

497
00:26:32,000 --> 00:26:34,100
There was a comment from Trina.

498
00:26:35,060 --> 00:26:47,080
Trina was entertained by my strategy to fade into the hedges to fade back during the vaccination process.

499
00:26:47,080 --> 00:26:49,420
That is so I didn't get I didn't want.

500
00:26:49,980 --> 00:26:51,640
Oh, you mean when you were in the room with a baby?

501
00:26:51,640 --> 00:26:55,380
Me and her comment does make sense.

502
00:26:55,480 --> 00:27:09,600
It made me think because her comment was, you're just setting it up so that baby Josie is going to think that when she needs to be comforted, that you're nowhere to be found, that it's that mom is the one.

503
00:27:09,880 --> 00:27:12,700
And I thought that's true that that is true.

504
00:27:13,020 --> 00:27:14,400
You know, we're near her.

505
00:27:14,700 --> 00:27:16,860
I'm never around when anything bad happens.

506
00:27:17,180 --> 00:27:17,280
True.

507
00:27:17,520 --> 00:27:21,060
So pain is not on your side.

508
00:27:21,760 --> 00:27:23,000
I'm equal pain.

509
00:27:23,180 --> 00:27:24,100
I'm Mr. Fun guy.

510
00:27:24,180 --> 00:27:24,580
Huh?

511
00:27:24,720 --> 00:27:25,060
That's it.

512
00:27:25,100 --> 00:27:27,380
So I think you're going to lose something.

513
00:27:27,680 --> 00:27:28,120
Right.

514
00:27:28,240 --> 00:27:29,500
She may be right.

515
00:27:29,640 --> 00:27:33,020
So maybe next time I'll try to help.

516
00:27:33,140 --> 00:27:36,200
I'll begin or I'll just when it's happening, not yet.

517
00:27:36,220 --> 00:27:38,420
And then show up immediately afterwards to console her.

518
00:27:38,560 --> 00:27:39,700
That's going to be my strategy.

519
00:27:40,060 --> 00:27:42,160
How did mommy do this to you?

520
00:27:42,600 --> 00:27:43,600
Why did mommy?

521
00:27:43,740 --> 00:27:45,540
I don't know why I'll just push her away.

522
00:27:45,640 --> 00:27:47,360
Yeah, let me get you on that.

523
00:27:48,140 --> 00:27:51,800
So but so I had that comment, which I appreciate it.

524
00:27:51,860 --> 00:27:53,200
Yeah, I always have a plan.

525
00:27:53,300 --> 00:27:54,420
That's not always good.

526
00:27:54,660 --> 00:28:00,560
But now for for this particular episode of the Silver Fox Mailbox, I have an ask.

527
00:28:01,520 --> 00:28:05,360
I want to ask everybody to give me your input.

528
00:28:05,420 --> 00:28:11,200
Like you guys, a lot of times will give a have given us suggestions or comments or thoughts on what we've talked about.

529
00:28:11,820 --> 00:28:17,020
One of the things that's coming up as I'm watching and we'll talk about it more later.

530
00:28:17,920 --> 00:28:21,140
Baby Josie is starting to move around a lot more than so.

531
00:28:21,320 --> 00:28:27,040
It's only a matter of time before she is no longer under our control.

532
00:28:27,220 --> 00:28:28,040
Oh, my God.

533
00:28:28,200 --> 00:28:31,500
And my house, I love my house.

534
00:28:31,780 --> 00:28:41,320
But I have and like I have lived on my own, surrounded by my own stuff and adult stuff for a while.

535
00:28:41,360 --> 00:28:44,940
I've never had to worry about things being in certain places.

536
00:28:44,940 --> 00:28:49,260
I have probably the least baby proof house.

537
00:28:49,400 --> 00:28:52,220
There are dangerous things everywhere, right?

538
00:28:52,360 --> 00:28:59,120
Like so I'm like it's going to be a major project to baby proof this house.

539
00:28:59,120 --> 00:28:59,440
Yes.

540
00:28:59,600 --> 00:29:02,720
In a way that we'll be able to keep her safe.

541
00:29:02,780 --> 00:29:05,680
So that is my my tires on stands.

542
00:29:05,800 --> 00:29:07,640
There's a lot right in our head.

543
00:29:07,720 --> 00:29:09,720
There are things just everywhere.

544
00:29:09,840 --> 00:29:13,060
Yeah, like there's things that you don't even you wouldn't even think of.

545
00:29:13,060 --> 00:29:15,200
No, just on our boat.

546
00:29:15,300 --> 00:29:19,200
Like we have our one wall in our great room where we spend most of our time.

547
00:29:19,480 --> 00:29:20,440
There's a fireplace.

548
00:29:20,660 --> 00:29:21,800
There's fireplace tools.

549
00:29:21,940 --> 00:29:26,380
There's things that there's a there's a fencing foil that hang like hang in there.

550
00:29:26,660 --> 00:29:29,640
There's there's there's a bow and arrow right next to the couch.

551
00:29:30,120 --> 00:29:30,600
Machetes.

552
00:29:31,100 --> 00:29:34,740
But there's stuff all over the shelves, all within reach of her.

553
00:29:34,840 --> 00:29:35,080
Yeah.

554
00:29:35,340 --> 00:29:39,200
And not like I care less about she's going to break stuff.

555
00:29:39,440 --> 00:29:42,420
And there's OK, but I'm just worried about it.

556
00:29:42,420 --> 00:29:44,900
Like, well, there's so much there's so many hard edges.

557
00:29:45,020 --> 00:29:51,200
I'm like, there aren't enough pool noodles in the city for me to cover every hard edge in in my place.

558
00:29:51,260 --> 00:29:59,320
So what I want is give me your best baby proofing recommendations because my house is going to need a lot of it.

559
00:29:59,340 --> 00:30:03,200
Well, what we did, you take the obvious, the obvious stuff gone, right?

560
00:30:03,260 --> 00:30:06,200
I mean, just, you know, the obvious walk through and collect it all and get it out.

561
00:30:06,320 --> 00:30:11,380
No, this is the sword is not going to get tired is whatever you take the obvious stuff up.

562
00:30:11,380 --> 00:30:12,140
Then.

563
00:30:13,380 --> 00:30:17,320
Then you go around, go potential stuff, height.

564
00:30:17,540 --> 00:30:20,760
OK, that's probably not good to have you wait there or whatever it is.

565
00:30:20,840 --> 00:30:21,060
Yeah.

566
00:30:21,160 --> 00:30:28,040
Then the other thing is then you just follow the baby and they will show you what.

567
00:30:28,120 --> 00:30:30,500
Oh, yeah, they're going to lead you right to the exactly.

568
00:30:30,720 --> 00:30:30,860
Yeah.

569
00:30:30,900 --> 00:30:36,160
So when you're when you take the obvious stuff out there and you take the the not so obvious, but you can kind of see it.

570
00:30:36,220 --> 00:30:37,100
But you still got to watch.

571
00:30:37,100 --> 00:30:43,680
Then you let the baby lead you to the promised land and you remove it and it's gone.

572
00:30:44,280 --> 00:30:46,200
So that worked for me.

573
00:30:46,260 --> 00:30:49,180
You have a bigger house than we did when we had our kids.

574
00:30:49,680 --> 00:30:52,220
I think we'll be able to have zones that we know are safe.

575
00:30:52,340 --> 00:30:52,560
Yeah.

576
00:30:53,120 --> 00:30:54,500
But it's going to be some work.

577
00:30:54,660 --> 00:30:55,800
So that's my ask.

578
00:30:55,800 --> 00:30:56,540
Let us know.

579
00:30:56,580 --> 00:30:59,240
Let me know what your baby proofing hacks are.

580
00:30:59,560 --> 00:31:01,020
I would appreciate that.

581
00:31:01,420 --> 00:31:04,800
But that is our Silver Fox mailbox.
