New Teeth, Getting Bit & Being Peed On, Fatherhood Advice for the Viral Age : Episode 32 Part 1

Welcome to Episode 32! Older dads Frank (56) and Carlo (57) are back after a brief hiatus. Frank's daughter, Baby Josie, is now seven and a half months old, and they kick off with a chaotic start as Carlo's arrival sends the baby into a crying fit!

In the "Book Report," the Gen X dads discuss a controversial article about parents filming their children crying for "clicks" (like the viral 'cheese challenge'). This leads to a funny debate on consent, privacy, and whether the baby advice to ask a baby's consent before changing a diaper is the ultimate parenting mistakes.

The big news in "I Was Wrong" is that Frank was actually right! Despite a recent scare and professional advice, Josie has been eating apples with no problem and has moved on to loving tomatoes and hummus as part of her baby led weaning. The episode ends with updates on Josie's developmental progress, including her new two bottom teeth and an unfortunate incident where she "thoroughly peed" on Frank, a classic moment of dad life that offers a reality check on being a dad. Tune in for honest fatherhood advice and trademark humor in life as they continue raising kids!

0:00 So there's these videos of, and you may have seen some of them, there'll be this cute kid and he'll be in a high chair and just crying. Okay. And then all of a sudden you'll see out of frame will fly in a piece of American cheese that will just hit their head and they just stop. They're confused. It just shocks them. Yeah. And they stop crying. And you know, and the parents laugh. And I like that. I think it's fine. I know exactly what you're talking about. Now, of course, this is a very thoughtful columnist and expressing to her, her disdain for these people and how they're using their children without their consent and this and that.

0:41 Okay. It's one of those things that I feel like someday, and this is one of the points that the writer makes is someday that kid's going to see that video and how are they going to feel? And I think if you've parented them the right way, they're going to laugh because it's funny. But if you convince them that they should be offended by anything and everything that people do to them, then they're going to want to take you to court and sue for emancipation at 12 years old. This is the Gray Hair and Day Care Podcast with a combined age of 111 years and a combined IQ right in that same range. Your hosts, Frank Serio and Carlo Russo.

1:21 Welcome back. Here we are. Here we are. We're back. It feels like it's been a really long time and it has been. Oh, has it? I had a little bit of a cold, so we had to delay the recording a couple of weeks. We got lots of fun things to cover. Yeah. And as always, I am Frank Serio. I am 56 years old and my little girl is seven and a half months old. That's crazy. It keeps, it keeps rolling on. Crazy. And I feel really bad because I was, I've been looking forward to you coming over. And last time she was a little. Hot of it. A little, she was sleepy and she wasn't super responsive.

2:03 And then you come over today. Wow. Now the dogs, 15, 20 minutes before he even gets in the county, they're barking and like someone, something's, they can feel it. They can feel you approaching. And then you get here and she's all, she was. The baby went berserk. I don't think she's cried like that. She was. Since birth. She was crying real tears. She had tears. She had little tears. She had fear. She had anger. She had. Confusion. Who is this person? Yes. Why is he here? Why are they looking at me? And it didn't stop. No, it did not stop. And it didn't trail off. No.

2:43 We decided we're just going to move forward. I started playing with the dogs and she kind of transferred over to you from the sitter. Yes. And stopped for about a half a second. And I thought, okay, we can just talk normal now and start it back up. So we're going to work on that. That's right. I'm sure we will. I'm sure we will do better. But still, I'm happy you're here. And she, I'm sure. Maybe she was sad because she's going to miss episode 32 and she's going to be, you know, she wanted to be down here. Maybe that's what she wanted. She lives everything in all the episodes. That's right. She is the central figure of our little show. I was driving here and I was thinking when she's old enough to figure out what we're doing, she's either going to be very excited.

3:25 Like, wow, that's very, or she's going to be like, you guys are creeps. You're weirdos. Just talking about me from when I was born. Stop it. At some point there will be kind of a reckoning of, well, what do you think? How do you feel about this? There has to be. This hours of video of your father talking about you. So we'll see. Well, actually that does, that leads into a little bit. Okay. Our first segment, which will be book report. So book report this time is not a book as it always isn't. It's never a book. So the Guardian online, there was this article and it's one that Kelly found and had mentioned.

4:07 And then I accidentally found this too. And I was reading about it and I didn't really give it as much credence as she did. It was written by one of their contributors, Rhiannon Lucy Coslet. Love her stuff. And the title of the article was parents who film their children crying for clicks should have a good look at themselves. Oh my God. We would have had a million clicks on that cry that we just had. Now, and I get like, so we're obviously, Kelly and I are very protective of like. Photos, pictures. We don't, we don't put a lot of her. And, and trust me, being motivated to have us be a successful podcast. It would be great if we could.

4:48 Yeah, it would be like a couple videos of my kid and I would have millions of views and hundreds of subscribers. But no, I don't want to do that. And, and this woman is talking about, and I don't know if you've seen these, but I have seen these videos and I just laugh at them because I don't think, I don't read into things as deeply sometimes as I think some other more thoughtful people like my lefty wife. You might just look at the service. I look at the service. So there's these videos of, and you may have seen some of them. There'll be this cute kid and he'll be in a high chair and just crying. Okay. And then all of a sudden you'll see out of, out of frame will fly in a piece of American cheese that will just hit their head and they just stop.

5:34 They're confused. It just shocks them and they stop crying and, and, you know, and the parents laugh. And I like that. I think I know exactly what you're talking about. Now, of course, this is a very thoughtful columnist and expressing to her, her disdain for these people and how they're using their children without their consent and this and that. Okay. Yes. Yes, they are. And I get it. But it's a video. Every video we take from a birthday party is without their consent. Yes. Every video we've been taking to our kids until they can go, stop filming me. Right. It's one of those things that I feel like someday, and this is one of the points that the writer makes is someday that kid's going to see that video and how are they going to feel?

6:20 And I think if you've parented them the right way, they're going to laugh because it's funny. But if you convince them that they should be offended by anything and everything that people do to them, then they're going to want to take you to court and sue for emancipation at 12 years old. I mean, I don't think we would have done that. We wouldn't, we wouldn't be that parent throwing cheese. I can't picture. I don't think I would do that. I haven't. I don't know if I would throw, maybe not American, maybe a little nice, nice provolone. No, that would be too hard. Shredded mozzarella, like petty. A little shredded cheddar, something a little, with a little more flavor. We would have loved it. That was a snack. Mom and dad throwing food at us.

7:02 It probably happened. No, I can't picture it. And I can't picture putting that on, like, I won't even use her. This is a whole podcast about my daughter and she's never in it. You don't even know her name. So I understand there is a certain protective element that you don't want to put your kid out there or do anything that they're going to feel bad about later. But there was an article I was reading the other day and it was talking about this one crazy, completely lunatic, left-wing, new age person talking about how he suggests to parents that they should ask for their consent before they change their diaper. Wow. And it's like, OK, come on. The smell is the consent.

7:43 Yeah, there you go. The smell is consent. This has to be changed. Yes, yeah. Do you think the Gerber baby consent? No, I don't know. I don't know. He has. Oh, yes. The baby wants his photo to be. I remember the very famous Nirvana. Yes, he sued somebody. He sued them. Yeah. Because nobody ever had his permission to use his image that way. I don't know if he won anything or not. And I say this because he probably did win. Do you remember when the lady who sued McDonald's because the coffee was too hot and it didn't say it on there? That changed everything. Yes, it did. Now they put very hot cautious. Yeah. But remember when we first heard them like, oh, God, yeah, you're going to win that.

8:24 It's hot coffee. She won. That's why I like the standing joke. When you used to buy a car, the manual would have instructions on how to adjust the valve timing. Now the manual has 30 pages of how to not drink the battery fluid. It's like, OK, so it's a different world freeze is not to be. Please don't drink the green stuff. Has no flavor. So but the Guardian online, there were she did make some points that are valid. Sure. What are you doing if you're literally if if you're letting your kids stay in an emotional state and crying and really upset for your for the purposes of getting clicks?

9:06 Yeah. Somebody should have good people. No. Yeah. You should get hit with a hammer. I understand that. And I don't know for good people that laugh at that, but it's already out there. I mean, I didn't do it. We didn't do it. I didn't do it. Yeah. I mean, I laugh at a kid inconsolably crying. I laugh at the fact that there's a cheese and they stop. Yeah. So I don't know. It's a it's an interesting one. But like you said, if you're going to be brought up being offended of everything, then you're not going to be able to do anything right to be offended of the world. You see what you're looking for in life, right? Whatever you whatever you expect, that's what you're going to get more of.

9:47 Yeah, yeah, yeah. And then when you're not, it doesn't even become a part of your consciousness. You don't even think about it. So, yeah, I thought it was an interesting article. When you saw that video, was there any thought in your and I know the answer to this. Was there any thought? Well, I wonder if the baby had it's going to be. How the baby's going to feel about this in the future? Like, no, there's a cheese flying across the room. Come on. And it stopped the baby from crying. Yeah. So confused of what just happened. That's what I got out of it. It's funny. It's funny. It's just funny. And it's weird. Like, oh, OK, that wouldn't have been. Maybe they're just crying because they're just crying. And then when you take them out of that element of surprise, like, oh, shit, what the hell was that?

10:29 They're not really crying then. Their state changes immediately. Right, immediately. So then all of a sudden, how bad was that cry when something just went, wait a minute, what the hell was that? Keep a slice of cheese in your pocket. So I'm going to turn this whole thing around. I think it's good for the people to videotape themselves. Just not just not the Kraft singles. No, no, no. But no, I think. Yeah, it's interesting, though. Yeah, it is. You want to be mindful of this stuff. But at the same time, I think there's a big problem with people who take things a little bit too, anything a little too seriously. Isn't that? Yeah. If there's something out there that people are getting popular, rich, fame.

11:11 Yeah. People are going to take advantage of that. Oh, yeah. Right. I mean, it's human nature. There's someone going to figure out, well, I can shut the baby up and not videotape it or or it's crying anyways. Right. Let me do this. Yeah, there is a fight. There's a fine line between being exploitative and just being funny. Yeah. Now, if they sent that to you like a family member and not put it on social media, then you go, that's funny because they're not spreading it to the world. It's like, look what just happened. That's hilarious. Exactly. And it's between us. That's right. But anyhow, so there was that. And that was our book report. Don't miss any of the fun. Subscribe on YouTube.

11:52 Follow us on Facebook, Instagram and TikTok. So next up. Next up. What's up? We have not done one of these for a while. And this is also a variation on our normal theme of I was wrong. Now, this time I was not wrong. Nor were you wrong. I like this time. My lovely wife and the physician's assistant was incorrect. They were wrong because little baby Josie has had plenty of apples since our last episode. And no problems. No problems. In fact, we'll talk about it later.

12:32 She loves apples. Actually, you know what? Her favorite thing seems to be tomatoes. Really? Loves tomatoes. Like just cut up and... Kelly will just slice up little like wedges. Almost like apple wedges. Like an apple? And she'll just and she loves tomato. She loves... We call it hummus, but it's not really hummus. It's just mashed up chickpeas with a little garlic. She loves that. She loves hummus. She loves the... She's had peanut butter on little toasty kind of thing. She likes that. She likes everything. So she's on food now. Well, yeah. So we're doing...

13:13 So the baby led weaning has really... It's amazing to watch because she... And to her credit, Kelly has curated all of this stuff. As much as this is a victory lap for me that I was right about the not being allergic to apples. Kelly's very, very on top of... Yeah, they're better than us, bro. They're better than us. She is. This week we're going to do this and this. She's every day in the morning. Again, 7.30 in the morning, Kelly hands the baby to me. I've got her until Carrie gets here at about nine. Part of what I always do with her is I get the bottles ready. So I'll take the containers of breast milk from the last time Kelly pumped and I'll make up the bottles and then I'll look and she'll have a little plate made up for lunch and it'll be whatever we're supposed to give her today.

14:01 So today it was tomato wedges, some yogurt with something in it. It might have been salmon, a little bit of salmon. Oh, she may be there. But well, so there's certain allergens that you want to introduce them to. Right, right, right. Get them out of there. Yeah, get them in the body. So she's always got different stuff. Are you spreading peanut butter all over so she doesn't have nut allergies? We already have... She has had peanut butter, all natural peanut butter on stuff. But yeah, she loves it. I think tomatoes are her favorite. Not a big fan of banana, but likes the tomatoes, likes zucchini, cucumber, carrot.

14:43 She's already in the health kit. She's already there. It's all either organic or raw vegetables. Is Kelly like this? No, but she wants to just... I don't know, it's great. Yeah, no, no. It's like Kelly did the other day. She came in, she's like, I'm going to get another bag of cookies from the freezer. We still have leftover cookies because we baked too much for Christmas. So good. And yeah, so she's brought in a bag of Cucidati. That's great. Just sit there watching the baby and TV. Yeah, and the baby's looking like, hey, that looks good. Well, eat your tomatoes, brother. Yeah, but... Before I throw cheese at you. Yeah, no, she's doing great with the food. We'll talk a little bit more about that later.

15:23 But with the apples, thank goodness, no issue. And since then, no problems with any kind of reactions to food. The only thing with the baby led weaning that's a little scary is, you know, you're giving her a big hunk of... Yeah, it's always scary. And she gets a little bit more off than usual. And then sometimes she'll look like, what do I do? Like she's got a swallow and sometimes she'll cough something out. But, you know, they get used to it quick. But she's like great. If you get yogurt on the spoon, hand her the spoon, she puts it right in. Yeah, it's pretty cool. God, I wish you didn't cry.

16:05 She'll be... She's so adorable. When we go back up, she'll probably be better. Are you kidding me? I'm going to videotape it. It's fun. She's a lot... She is... The expressions, all that stuff. Is there a personality coming out yet? I think there is a little bit. There's more faces. I think this is either a new face or she's just a little stuffy because she's been doing like a scrunchie nose face, which is cute. But you definitely see she is... And she reacts. And if people are paying attention, she is into it. But the I was wrong. I was not wrong.

16:46 I'm very happy. No, yeah, I know. I came home one night and Trina told me that I was wrong and I forgot. Oh, Trina usually has good ones. Yeah, she does. And it was real. Tell her she should just text him straight to me. It was something about... Oh, she said something about I didn't know if our babies were bald. Oh, or when they got their hair. Yeah, something like that. Whatever I said, I was wrong. OK, well, we got two for one. So I was... I wasn't wrong. She's like, yeah, their babies were bald or had hair. Whatever I said they weren't, they were. OK, we can ask for clarification. I was wrong. OK, that is kind of the first thing to talk about in our next segment.

17:29 Which is what just happened. So and that is thinking about the developmental changes and stuff. I have already had... I had really officially the first experience as a father where I just said, OK, this needs to stop. Explain. I don't want her to grow up this way. Oh, OK. That I am now with with Carrie here taking care of her during the day. Like I do the bottle prep, but I don't usually give her her bottles anymore. Right. Right. And then when when Kelly's home, she's breastfeeding.

18:11 She's got her thing. So I was around. Carrie was trying to give her a bottle and she was distracted. She was like looking around to see me rather than paying attention to the bottle. And I kind of wrapped it was toward the end of the day. I'd wrap things up with work. And I was like, oh, just give it to me and I'll give it to her. And she didn't want to be held. Like I used to hold her. Like you used to. Right. She wanted to kind of more sit up in my lap. Yeah, now she's older. And I'm like, oh, and then and it just that was like you're never going to hold her like that. Right. Then I'm like, OK, you probably need to burp. And before I could pick her up and put her on my shoulder, she just looked at me and burped.

18:53 So and I'm like, and and now it's just there's something about now that because she sits up unassisted, I see that she's doing that stuff that she just looks like a little person. And it is I'm just like, OK, this this should not like this. Let's stop here for keep it like this for a month because it just goes by. And it goes quicker because they learn so much. It goes by so fast, so fast, quickly to the new stuff now. That they pick up other things where it used to take a month going, OK, she'll be doing this for about a month. Now it's for about an hour and then they're going to find something out and go. It does. You know what I mean? It just it changes so, so quickly.

19:34 She she's the the sitting up is a big thing. Yeah. Now, which is cool. And she'll kind of she'll balance herself every once in a while. She'll go over. But she's she's doing well with all that stuff. And then she's not not still not crawling. But she will a lot of times during tummy time, she will scoot backwards. So that's like the beginnings of something going on. Some kids skip crawling, go right to pick themselves up and walk. When I hold, I will hold her just kind of help her balance at her hips. Like I'll have my hands at her waist and have her standing on my lap. And she will stand up and she's. And her legs are strong.

20:14 Yeah, yeah, yeah. So I think she might get that. I think she might not crawl very much at all. It seems like what it is. I see all these videos of what you're supposed to do to help them. And a lot of them are like you put a towel under their belly. OK. And then put them and then like let them hang to get them to to get them to basically. Like a quote. To pivot at their hips and bring their knees down. So their knees will hit the floor, which is so I'll sometimes I'll hold her that way. So that's what it is. She hasn't made the connection that to get her knees under her to pivot at her hips. Gotcha. Which eventually it's just going to happen and she's going to do it. Or she'll just army crawl or whatever.

20:57 But but it's it's interesting to watch. She's doing well with that stuff. But reaching things, grafting were every time we hand her back and forth between Kelly and me. Kelly keeps going for the read. Do you want to come to me? Trying to get her to reach. Right, right. And she's starting to imply it. Not all the way, not reach all the way. But that that's coming along. The big thing. I don't know. Did we talk about it last time? Must not have been the two teeth. We said you thought they were coming in. Yes. So they appeared. Yep. So now two teeth at the bottom. I saw. Very adorable. Cute. She because when she gives her big, big open mouth smile.

21:39 I won't see that. They're right there. You might. You might see a scream. I saw him with a scream. Yeah, but yeah. So she has two teeth right in the middle on the bottom. So cute. That have come in. And those last night for some reason. They'll get you too. We had two things last night that were new. So for a little while after dinner, I've got her and she's looking at me and I like I just love it. I'll have her like right up close and she'll be looking at me and we'll be talking and she'll be jabbering, making her little baby talk sounds. And then all of a sudden I see her coming in and she comes in and she just my whole nose. And so that little two little teeth are right there on my septum.

22:22 And I'm like, I'm like an idiot. I let her do it. I'm like, okay, go ahead. And I'm like, oh, Kelly's around the corner like that. That must hurt. I'm like, yeah, it hasn't got her yet. Oh, she gets it. I was going to say she's, uh, she, she, when she wants, when she's hungry, she will, she will bite her chin. She'll get us right up right here. And boom. She doesn't do the chin because I don't think she likes the whiskers. She doesn't do that to me, but there's no whiskers on my nose. I remember you saying that just brought back a memory of when their head is like going like this and it goes, boom, it's the worst feelings.

23:02 Like your eyes water, they nail you right in the nose. We're right. Oh God. I remember so there is, there is pain involved because you're looking at the baby, you know, cute. And then all of a sudden they lose control and they go, because I'm always, always got her right there. Cause I like, I love being close, but yeah. So it's there, there is that, that happened yesterday. That wasn't quite as bad. This was a new experience for me. And there's a little bit of after a while, like right now it's seven months. I'm fairly confident with the baby, right? Like certainly I feel comfortable, we're good. It's always, it's fun. But our nightly routine, Kelly setting up the, is getting ready to set up for bath time.

23:47 And she's like, well, do you want to hold her while I get the bath ready? And I said, sure. And she's like, well, be careful. Cause she had already, she'd already undressed her and put her in one of her little cute bath robes. So no, no diaper, just the bathrobe. I'm like, oh sure. And we're sitting and I've got her sitting on my lap and she's looking at me. And sure enough, all of a sudden I feel warm and really just soaked my whole from like here down and my jeans. So I'm like, I'm just trying to stay still. Cause I don't want to get anything on the couch. So I'm like calling Kelly, mommy, come upstairs.

24:30 And she's, she's just looking at me like, I do this all the time. Like, what's your problem? But yeah, so I, I got, I got very directly and thoroughly peed on by my daughter. And the whole time I'm just, it's that moment where you're like, who else would I let do this to me? No, no, no, no. I mean, not with them. And you're like, you don't even mind. You're like, okay. Even if your dogs did that, you're like, oh, I would want them to peed on my front. They just peed on you. Like, come on. No, but again, who would we allow puke on us, bite us in the face? That's why you love these kids.

25:11 Or you're supposed to. It's so unconditional. That's it. They're like, okay, whatever. I signed up. This is the life I chose. But I thought that was, that was amusing. Anyway, so with the two teeth, we talked a little bit about all the food stuff. So very systematically working through the main, the big three allergens are eggs, dairy and wheat. And we've been through all of those. So she's had, Kelly will make these little, she'll make like a little omelet and then cut it into strips. So she'll be like, well, she'll just have a handful of like an egg omelet. She tries to get it in there. Like a little drunk. We used to call. Oh my God. And this could be part of, you were wrong, but his drunken state.

25:56 I forgot who it was, Natalia or Nick. It was like, they're like drunk people. They're just like walking around the house. That's what it looks like. Trying to get it in there. When we used to go to the diner after a night of drinking, everybody looks like babies. Trying to get a piece of bacon in your face. Coffee spills on you. That's awesome. And you generally pee yourself. And you pee yourself too. That's it. No, yeah. It's funny watching that stuff with the, yeah, the egg always looks funny. Yeah. But I send you guys pictures, but I don't know if I sent you this one. The picture of her with a chicken leg. I don't think I saw that one. She looks like Henry VIII with a turkey leg.

26:37 But she's got it like she's holding, she's just gnawing on the thing. That's great. Yeah. She likes chicken. Chicken and tomatoes. Tomatoes and chicken. A nice puttanesca sauce. That's beautiful. I could do some chicken cacciatore, she means. Chicken cacciatore, that's it. She'll love it. But yeah, so we've been through all that stuff. She likes the hummus, the chickpeas and garlic. Pine nuts is the next thing. So we'll probably, well, you want to do the nuts one at a time. So we might be able to do that. What I think is funny is she also now, so she has these latex bibs that have like a trough. So it catches the food if it slides down.

27:19 But she uses it like a little holding pouch. She'll be like, puts it back, gets something else. Then she reaches around. You'll see her. She'll be reaching, rooting around in her little. They're so funny. It is. Like it's a little purse. What do I have in here? What do I got in here? Is that a gum? A Werther's Original. Hold on. So yeah, so she uses the little pouch, which is cute. She's much better. You can tell she's working on her pincer graft. She opens little doors. She does more stuff with her, with her little, with her toys. The food has created the digestive, some digestive challenges. So sometimes it'll be like we got to keep track because I don't change all the diapers during the day.

27:59 And then, you know, and then Kelly will ask like, when did you poop last night? I don't know. So like it was, she'll go a couple of days sometimes. And yesterday, so yesterday would have been like day three. She would have been day three. And you could tell because she like, she'll just make these noises like, and she'll smile. So she's, so, you know, she's known she's bothering her. So usually a surefire way for some reason to get her to poop is putting her in the car. Really? I don't know if it's about the position that she's in, in the carrier or if it's the motion of the car, but that's almost like, I can't tell you how many times we go to math.

28:42 And we'll check her diaper. She's good. We get her in the thing. We drive to church 10 minutes, not even 10 minutes away. And she's got to blow out before we get in the church. So she went for two rides yesterday, trying to, trying to work it out. One was a trip to Paul DeLima coffee. Do you know what that is? So the roasters, so there's a Paul DeLima coffee. My sister has developed a relationship with these people who work at the store at Paul DeLima. Okay. She does this all the time with people. So I had mentioned since the baby, I have this super automatic coffee maker that grinds the beans fresh. I love it. I have an espresso every morning.

29:23 First thing when I get up. Of course. And I'll have occasionally throughout the day, but every morning I have it. So I go through, I had bought a case, a four pound case of espresso beans and I needed, and I had used it all. So I needed to go get some more. And I mentioned this to my sister who was like, oh, we can bring, she wanted, she wanted me to bring the baby. And I'm like, no, not my, my sister and her husband are retired. And I'm like, you know, you, you forget that I have like a job. Right. I got stuff that I got to get done. So I don't have time to do the field.

30:04 I'm like, I want to, I'm just going to stop and pick her up. And she's like, oh, you should just, you know, let, we'll wait until tomorrow. And, you know, you could have, you could have Kelly go with me and, or I could take the baby. And I'm like, I got to go. So this is a big plan for coffee. So I had like a very limited window the other day to get a bus. So I go to the, I go to destiny and I pick up a deposit. That's got to go to the bank. I stop at, I stop at Walmart cause I got to get stuff to winterize the boat. I go get my, my beans at Paul DeLima. And, and I'm then from there, I'm going to go get a haircut. I get a haircut. He's got it all planned. This is like in two hours. I got to get this done. So I walk into Paul DeLima and I have to, and they're giving me this thing.

30:46 They're giving me the stink eye because they know my sister and my sister has already told them that there's a possibility of this happening and they don't see a baby and they don't see a baby. And I'm like, I'm going to have to tell my sister I came and I'm Paul, I'm Paul's brother. Oh, we know. Yes. And then, you know, people, people come out from the back room. Does he have to be? Yeah. And I'm like, disappointed when they just see you. Thanks. So my lovely wife offered yesterday when she was home to go with my sister to Paul DeLima with the baby. Cause you figured it could be a poop run, right? Driver. Hopefully that'll work. So she did, they did that, but no poop. But they, they did go, she did go to Paul DeLima.

31:28 Which makes sense. Coffee does make me poop and a lot of people. Yeah. And that place, when they're roasting, it's like you get punched in the face. You walk in there. It's like, wow. Everybody's running to the bathroom. It's wonderful. It's wonderful. The smell. So they said there was Kate and Glenn at, at Paul DeLima coffee. They're very nice. They were happy to see the baby. They were thrilled. Now this is a place you can go in and this is a storefront. So that's where they run. They have a, an outlet right there and you can get all kinds, all their different varieties of coffee. You can have them grind the beans fresh for you. All that stuff. Yeah. It's very nice. And it's cheaper than Wegmans. Oh yeah. What is it?

32:08 So that's true. So yeah, so we were, so that was one trip. And then the other trip I needed to drop off some dry cleaning and we had to stop. So we, we did another poop run and that one, that one took. And she finally, she finally had a poop. And you know the difference now between eating real food poop. And the natural poop. Most of the time it's different. It's fully identifiable. Like, oh, those are tomatoes. Like you see it and it's like, oh yeah. Carrots. We knew, we knew they were eating that when the, when the smell, when the smell became human waste. Oh yeah. Of what ours smells like.

32:48 Like, okay. Yep. Now it's different. Yep. There's no more mustard. There's no more of the, yes. Yeah. It's now, it's now exactly what I have. Look at this. Yeah. Nope. That's it.
