Older Dads Confess: Our Parenting Mistakes Are Intentional! : Episode 33 Part 1

1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:05,270
We've talked about the Aikopuka Cloud the pink cloud that we put on the shopping cart.

2
00:00:05,410 --> 00:00:29,190
Yes Yes One of the things that I'm now entertained by is I think because it's so you know She's little and the shopping cart is wide and this thing covers the whole thing and now it's so soft and comfy She just sleeps now Baby, Josie does the north side lean And I said that to Kelly, she's like, what's what's the north side lean?

3
00:00:29,570 --> 00:00:32,330
But I don't know if that's just a Syracuse thing

4
00:00:32,330 --> 00:00:33,690
It must be a Syracuse thing

5
00:00:33,690 --> 00:00:35,830
So when we were growing up

6
00:00:35,830 --> 00:00:37,170
Or when we were younger

7
00:00:38,490 --> 00:00:40,530
We would call it the north side lean

8
00:00:40,530 --> 00:00:41,770
Where everybody would be driving around

9
00:00:41,770 --> 00:00:43,610
Left hand on the wheel, right hand like

10
00:00:43,610 --> 00:00:45,770
Right elbow on the center console

11
00:00:45,770 --> 00:00:47,070
Pretty much in the passenger seat

12
00:00:47,070 --> 00:00:48,790
You could barely see over the dash

13
00:00:48,790 --> 00:00:50,890
But so now she kind of does that

14
00:00:50,890 --> 00:00:51,330
That's funny

15
00:00:51,330 --> 00:00:54,830
I don't straighten her up because it just looks so cute

16
00:00:54,830 --> 00:00:56,070
She's kind of hanging out there

17
00:00:56,070 --> 00:00:57,030
So funny

18
00:00:57,030 --> 00:01:00,230
So she does the north side lean which I think is really cute

19
00:01:00,230 --> 00:01:00,730
North side!

20
00:01:01,870 --> 00:01:27,590
This is the gray hair and daycare podcast With a combined age of 111 years And a combined IQ Right in that same range Your hosts Frank Sirio and Carlo Russo Welcome back Here we are Here we are Once again, a lot less time In between recording this time Which I think is nice You mean after a year and a half we're getting good at this?

21
00:01:28,190 --> 00:01:29,430
It has been a year

22
00:01:30,670 --> 00:01:32,390
So it was a year

23
00:01:33,590 --> 00:01:34,590
October 29th

24
00:01:34,590 --> 00:01:36,370
And we're in November now

25
00:01:36,370 --> 00:01:36,810
Wow

26
00:01:36,810 --> 00:01:39,270
And we haven't really missed a lot

27
00:01:39,270 --> 00:01:42,630
It was the release of the first episode

28
00:01:42,630 --> 00:01:44,530
You've been pretty constant

29
00:01:44,530 --> 00:01:46,190
We've been relatively

30
00:01:46,190 --> 00:01:47,210
Since the baby

31
00:01:47,210 --> 00:01:48,690
At first

32
00:01:48,690 --> 00:01:50,910
Before the baby

33
00:01:50,910 --> 00:01:51,730
Every week

34
00:01:54,530 --> 00:01:56,210
See what kids do

35
00:01:56,950 --> 00:01:59,190
They ruin our podcast time

36
00:01:59,190 --> 00:02:00,290
They take a lot of time

37
00:02:00,290 --> 00:02:03,010
But worth every second

38
00:02:03,010 --> 00:02:04,710
So as always

39
00:02:04,710 --> 00:02:05,610
I am Frank Sirio

40
00:02:05,610 --> 00:02:07,810
I am 56 years old

41
00:02:07,810 --> 00:02:09,410
And my little girl

42
00:02:09,410 --> 00:02:10,590
Baby Josie

43
00:02:11,370 --> 00:02:11,690
Is

44
00:02:14,070 --> 00:02:15,350
Eight months

45
00:02:15,350 --> 00:02:17,150
And one week old

46
00:02:17,150 --> 00:02:19,110
Eight months

47
00:02:19,110 --> 00:02:19,950
And one week old

48
00:02:21,370 --> 00:02:22,810
That's creeping up too

49
00:02:23,570 --> 00:02:25,130
It's going by fast

50
00:02:25,130 --> 00:02:26,350
It's a difference though

51
00:02:27,330 --> 00:02:29,210
We came over last

52
00:02:29,210 --> 00:02:30,510
Week for dinner

53
00:02:30,510 --> 00:02:31,910
With my wife

54
00:02:31,910 --> 00:02:33,950
And it's just so much different

55
00:02:33,950 --> 00:02:35,370
I think the last time we had dinner

56
00:02:36,270 --> 00:02:37,910
Baby Josie wasn't even

57
00:02:37,910 --> 00:02:40,130
Couldn't even hold her head up

58
00:02:40,130 --> 00:02:42,490
I don't think she was doing any of that stuff

59
00:02:42,490 --> 00:02:43,950
But now she was sitting there

60
00:02:43,950 --> 00:02:45,130
With a chicken in her hand

61
00:02:46,930 --> 00:02:48,050
Dealing cards

62
00:02:48,730 --> 00:02:49,930
Telling dirty jokes

63
00:02:49,930 --> 00:02:50,590
It was crazy

64
00:02:50,590 --> 00:02:52,530
It's all good stuff

65
00:02:52,530 --> 00:02:55,310
So we are going to get right into it

66
00:02:55,310 --> 00:02:57,750
We have an action packed episode for you

67
00:02:57,750 --> 00:02:58,970
And we'll start off

68
00:02:58,970 --> 00:03:00,590
With almost always

69
00:03:00,590 --> 00:03:02,050
I find something

70
00:03:02,050 --> 00:03:04,170
To do a book report that is not a book

71
00:03:04,170 --> 00:03:05,710
So here we are

72
00:03:05,710 --> 00:03:06,970
With Book Report

73
00:03:09,190 --> 00:03:09,670
So

74
00:03:10,250 --> 00:03:11,030
As always

75
00:03:11,030 --> 00:03:12,910
So the article is

76
00:03:12,910 --> 00:03:14,910
From Newsweek.com

77
00:03:14,910 --> 00:03:18,070
I would never think to look for kid stuff

78
00:03:18,070 --> 00:03:19,050
On Newsweek

79
00:03:19,050 --> 00:03:21,830
But this was I think a really good article

80
00:03:21,830 --> 00:03:23,790
And it brought up a lot of my own childhood trauma

81
00:03:23,790 --> 00:03:25,110
That we can talk about

82
00:03:25,730 --> 00:03:27,670
So it is a child psychologist

83
00:03:27,670 --> 00:03:29,990
Reveals parenting habits

84
00:03:29,990 --> 00:03:31,350
That create

85
00:03:32,070 --> 00:03:33,430
Struggling adults

86
00:03:34,070 --> 00:03:35,810
And basically

87
00:03:35,810 --> 00:03:37,970
It was a psychology professor

88
00:03:37,970 --> 00:03:39,310
Named Daniel J.

89
00:03:39,430 --> 00:03:39,770
Morin

90
00:03:39,770 --> 00:03:42,350
And there were a bunch of blurbs

91
00:03:42,350 --> 00:03:44,010
And basically what it was talking about

92
00:03:44,010 --> 00:03:46,230
Overall throughout the article

93
00:03:46,230 --> 00:03:48,170
Is parents that

94
00:03:48,170 --> 00:03:50,130
Generally may have

95
00:03:50,130 --> 00:03:51,510
Not had the best childhood

96
00:03:51,890 --> 00:03:53,970
That then decide they want to make their

97
00:03:53,970 --> 00:03:55,550
Childhood perfect

98
00:03:56,070 --> 00:03:58,410
So they remove all obstacles

99
00:03:58,410 --> 00:03:59,610
And they're constantly

100
00:04:00,350 --> 00:04:02,530
Trying to make things

101
00:04:02,530 --> 00:04:04,070
Perfect for the kid

102
00:04:04,070 --> 00:04:06,630
Which has its own set of

103
00:04:06,630 --> 00:04:07,250
Problems

104
00:04:07,250 --> 00:04:10,650
So basically Daniel Morin

105
00:04:10,650 --> 00:04:11,930
I think he made a few points

106
00:04:11,930 --> 00:04:12,810
That I thought were really good

107
00:04:12,810 --> 00:04:14,850
Learning to stay present

108
00:04:15,730 --> 00:04:17,490
Feel the hard stuff

109
00:04:17,490 --> 00:04:19,269
And keep moving forward

110
00:04:19,269 --> 00:04:20,490
That's what matters

111
00:04:20,490 --> 00:04:23,870
Talking about letting the kid

112
00:04:24,470 --> 00:04:25,590
Struggle a little bit

113
00:04:25,590 --> 00:04:26,610
Safely

114
00:04:26,610 --> 00:04:28,510
But not

115
00:04:29,270 --> 00:04:29,850
Just

116
00:04:29,850 --> 00:04:32,670
Not making them dependent on you

117
00:04:32,670 --> 00:04:34,070
By doing everything for them

118
00:04:34,070 --> 00:04:36,110
When there are things they can do

119
00:04:36,110 --> 00:04:38,470
That you're kind of robbing them of

120
00:04:38,470 --> 00:04:40,810
Any sense of agency

121
00:04:40,810 --> 00:04:42,570
Or accomplishment or things like that

122
00:04:42,570 --> 00:04:44,890
He also made a point which I thought was really good

123
00:04:44,890 --> 00:04:46,210
About over scheduling

124
00:04:47,850 --> 00:04:49,010
Versus boredom

125
00:04:49,010 --> 00:04:49,890
Now I know

126
00:04:49,890 --> 00:04:53,130
My childhood there was a lot of boredom

127
00:04:53,130 --> 00:04:55,130
Imagination goes crazy

128
00:04:55,130 --> 00:04:56,590
And that was exactly his point

129
00:04:57,210 --> 00:04:58,970
Boredom is where creativity

130
00:04:58,970 --> 00:05:01,250
And self-direction grow

131
00:05:01,250 --> 00:05:03,130
I mean I remember

132
00:05:03,130 --> 00:05:05,250
A lot of times

133
00:05:05,250 --> 00:05:06,790
But that's what you do

134
00:05:06,790 --> 00:05:09,030
You turn to your own imagination

135
00:05:09,030 --> 00:05:10,590
And creativity

136
00:05:10,590 --> 00:05:12,950
That's where people pick up drawing

137
00:05:12,950 --> 00:05:14,310
Or building something

138
00:05:14,310 --> 00:05:16,050
Or playing an instrument

139
00:05:16,050 --> 00:05:17,470
Or even reading

140
00:05:17,470 --> 00:05:17,990
I'm bored

141
00:05:17,990 --> 00:05:20,350
I guess this book everybody talks about

142
00:05:20,350 --> 00:05:21,930
Then all of a sudden

143
00:05:21,930 --> 00:05:23,590
You become a great reader

144
00:05:23,590 --> 00:05:25,950
You need to be bored

145
00:05:25,950 --> 00:05:27,330
You need to be bored

146
00:05:27,330 --> 00:05:30,550
I don't know if the over scheduling thing

147
00:05:30,550 --> 00:05:32,490
When your boys were coming up

148
00:05:32,490 --> 00:05:33,590
It was probably just

149
00:05:33,590 --> 00:05:34,970
A little bit of that

150
00:05:34,970 --> 00:05:37,790
We had one

151
00:05:37,790 --> 00:05:39,290
Thing that they loved

152
00:05:39,810 --> 00:05:41,030
And it was football

153
00:05:41,030 --> 00:05:43,310
And we kept it to that

154
00:05:43,310 --> 00:05:44,690
We didn't add to that

155
00:05:45,430 --> 00:05:47,230
We tried not to do

156
00:05:47,230 --> 00:05:48,290
Five sports

157
00:05:48,290 --> 00:05:50,530
I see people doing sport after sport

158
00:05:50,530 --> 00:05:52,570
Or a club after club

159
00:05:52,570 --> 00:05:53,810
Whatever it is

160
00:05:53,810 --> 00:05:56,590
And that just takes away from everybody

161
00:05:56,590 --> 00:05:58,990
It makes your day a lot longer

162
00:05:58,990 --> 00:05:59,470
And harder

163
00:06:00,090 --> 00:06:02,250
Then you don't spend a lot of family time

164
00:06:02,250 --> 00:06:03,790
Because you're always running around

165
00:06:03,790 --> 00:06:05,050
If you have more than one child

166
00:06:05,050 --> 00:06:06,510
In different directions

167
00:06:07,710 --> 00:06:10,610
So I don't think we sat down

168
00:06:10,610 --> 00:06:11,710
And decided that

169
00:06:11,710 --> 00:06:13,650
That was the way it happened

170
00:06:13,650 --> 00:06:14,850
We'll go to football

171
00:06:14,850 --> 00:06:17,170
And the nice thing is both kids were there

172
00:06:17,590 --> 00:06:18,910
And me and my wife were both there

173
00:06:18,910 --> 00:06:20,030
So we would walk around

174
00:06:20,030 --> 00:06:20,990
We'd do our exercise

175
00:06:20,990 --> 00:06:21,950
We would talk

176
00:06:21,950 --> 00:06:23,370
And we'd watch our kids

177
00:06:23,370 --> 00:06:25,790
So we kind of made it a family thing

178
00:06:25,790 --> 00:06:27,270
But we didn't overload it

179
00:06:27,270 --> 00:06:28,850
There's a lot of that

180
00:06:28,850 --> 00:06:30,690
And in some ways

181
00:06:30,690 --> 00:06:32,130
I think sure

182
00:06:32,130 --> 00:06:33,430
Like my nephew

183
00:06:33,430 --> 00:06:35,130
Both his daughters

184
00:06:35,130 --> 00:06:37,430
Have been involved in competitive volleyball

185
00:06:37,430 --> 00:06:39,630
He coaches

186
00:06:39,630 --> 00:06:41,810
And that becomes a thing

187
00:06:41,810 --> 00:06:44,290
That he does with his daughters

188
00:06:44,290 --> 00:06:45,930
It's their thing

189
00:06:45,930 --> 00:06:47,410
It's their thing

190
00:06:47,410 --> 00:06:49,870
Between dad and daughter

191
00:06:49,870 --> 00:06:50,910
And I think that's awesome

192
00:06:50,910 --> 00:06:52,350
But at the same time

193
00:06:52,350 --> 00:06:53,810
It's super expensive

194
00:06:53,810 --> 00:06:55,110
And he spends a lot of time

195
00:06:55,110 --> 00:06:56,210
The whole weekends

196
00:06:56,210 --> 00:06:58,930
It's an investment of not only money

197
00:06:58,930 --> 00:07:00,390
But a lot of time

198
00:07:00,390 --> 00:07:02,050
So kind of the final point

199
00:07:02,050 --> 00:07:04,190
That the one psychology professor made

200
00:07:04,190 --> 00:07:06,970
If we want confident, capable young adults

201
00:07:06,970 --> 00:07:09,110
You have to let kids practice

202
00:07:09,110 --> 00:07:10,410
Being uncomfortable

203
00:07:10,710 --> 00:07:13,150
A little discomfort today

204
00:07:13,150 --> 00:07:14,830
Can build the

205
00:07:14,830 --> 00:07:17,170
Psychological flexibility they'll need tomorrow

206
00:07:17,170 --> 00:07:18,550
And I think that is

207
00:07:18,550 --> 00:07:20,810
100% true

208
00:07:20,810 --> 00:07:22,390
Because life is not

209
00:07:22,870 --> 00:07:23,590
Bubble wrapped

210
00:07:24,710 --> 00:07:26,730
There's going to be edges

211
00:07:26,730 --> 00:07:27,950
It's going to hurt

212
00:07:27,950 --> 00:07:30,030
And sometimes you might get cut

213
00:07:30,030 --> 00:07:31,730
And you have to figure it out

214
00:07:31,730 --> 00:07:33,450
You've got to build them coping mechanisms

215
00:07:34,170 --> 00:07:35,510
That's 100% true

216
00:07:35,510 --> 00:07:38,210
The other one that was mentioned in the article

217
00:07:38,630 --> 00:07:40,590
Was Dr. Samantha Whiten

218
00:07:40,590 --> 00:07:42,050
I think is how you pronounce it

219
00:07:42,050 --> 00:07:43,230
Dr. Samantha Whiten

220
00:07:43,230 --> 00:07:44,610
And her little blurbs

221
00:07:44,610 --> 00:07:47,910
Over helping breeds over dependence

222
00:07:47,910 --> 00:07:49,070
Very true

223
00:07:49,070 --> 00:07:50,710
And then she talks about kind of like

224
00:07:50,710 --> 00:07:52,010
The see try do method

225
00:07:52,010 --> 00:07:54,090
Of show your kid how to do something

226
00:07:54,670 --> 00:07:56,610
Watch them when they try

227
00:07:56,610 --> 00:07:57,850
And then

228
00:07:58,470 --> 00:07:59,410
Step away

229
00:07:59,410 --> 00:08:00,990
And let them do it

230
00:08:00,990 --> 00:08:03,010
With confidence

231
00:08:03,010 --> 00:08:04,170
Like you got this

232
00:08:04,170 --> 00:08:05,450
And step back

233
00:08:05,450 --> 00:08:08,830
Also it's nice when they can't do it

234
00:08:08,830 --> 00:08:10,670
And you watch them figure it out

235
00:08:10,670 --> 00:08:12,430
Instead of going no no no

236
00:08:12,430 --> 00:08:13,490
This is what you do

237
00:08:13,490 --> 00:08:15,490
Just let them do it

238
00:08:15,490 --> 00:08:17,970
Because they will either figure it out

239
00:08:17,970 --> 00:08:18,450
Or

240
00:08:18,450 --> 00:08:19,730
They're going to remember

241
00:08:21,090 --> 00:08:22,070
Nobody's going to help me out

242
00:08:22,070 --> 00:08:22,950
I've got to keep doing it

243
00:08:22,950 --> 00:08:23,870
Even if I fail

244
00:08:23,870 --> 00:08:25,650
I've got to keep figuring this out

245
00:08:25,650 --> 00:08:26,230
Without a doubt

246
00:08:26,230 --> 00:08:27,250
And what's funny was

247
00:08:27,250 --> 00:08:28,970
I was talking to Kelly about this earlier

248
00:08:28,970 --> 00:08:32,210
Because in my childhood

249
00:08:32,210 --> 00:08:34,470
When I wanted to learn to ride a bike

250
00:08:35,870 --> 00:08:38,110
My father had bought

251
00:08:38,110 --> 00:08:40,250
It must have been like on sale

252
00:08:40,830 --> 00:08:42,049
So he bought

253
00:08:42,049 --> 00:08:44,490
A 26 inch 10 speed bike

254
00:08:44,490 --> 00:08:46,650
And I was a child

255
00:08:46,650 --> 00:08:48,470
I was little

256
00:08:48,470 --> 00:08:50,450
That was the only bike I had

257
00:08:50,450 --> 00:08:51,510
And it was very clear

258
00:08:51,510 --> 00:08:53,350
That was the only bike I was going to get

259
00:08:54,130 --> 00:08:56,510
Now he was also

260
00:08:56,510 --> 00:08:57,710
When I was like

261
00:08:57,710 --> 00:08:59,990
From maybe very beginning

262
00:08:59,990 --> 00:09:02,050
In school till maybe 12

263
00:09:02,050 --> 00:09:02,930
Or 13

264
00:09:02,930 --> 00:09:06,130
My dad was in a pretty serious depression

265
00:09:06,130 --> 00:09:07,850
I think you did mention that

266
00:09:07,850 --> 00:09:09,170
So he was like

267
00:09:10,270 --> 00:09:10,790
Completely

268
00:09:12,290 --> 00:09:12,810
Missing

269
00:09:13,650 --> 00:09:15,650
So when I'm learning to ride a bike

270
00:09:15,650 --> 00:09:16,450
There was nobody

271
00:09:17,290 --> 00:09:18,110
Helping me

272
00:09:18,110 --> 00:09:21,070
My sisters and brother had already moved away

273
00:09:21,070 --> 00:09:23,370
My dad was not around for that

274
00:09:23,370 --> 00:09:24,870
And my mom was doing everything else

275
00:09:24,870 --> 00:09:26,730
So I wasn't allowed to

276
00:09:27,190 --> 00:09:28,490
Take the bike out on the road

277
00:09:29,010 --> 00:09:30,670
We lived kind of in the city

278
00:09:31,790 --> 00:09:33,290
And so our driveway

279
00:09:33,290 --> 00:09:34,690
Was run across

280
00:09:35,250 --> 00:09:36,410
Like big rocks

281
00:09:36,410 --> 00:09:38,770
And I have this

282
00:09:39,590 --> 00:09:40,590
26 inch bike

283
00:09:41,290 --> 00:09:42,930
And I remember as a kid

284
00:09:42,930 --> 00:09:43,910
I would go get

285
00:09:43,910 --> 00:09:45,830
There were cinder blocks laying around

286
00:09:46,330 --> 00:09:48,050
Our yard for whatever reason

287
00:09:48,050 --> 00:09:48,810
I don't know why

288
00:09:48,810 --> 00:09:50,310
I would get a cinder block

289
00:09:50,970 --> 00:09:52,350
I would prop the bike up

290
00:09:52,350 --> 00:09:54,230
I would have to get on the cinder block

291
00:09:54,230 --> 00:09:56,110
To get on the bike

292
00:09:57,570 --> 00:09:59,470
So I'd get on the thing

293
00:09:59,470 --> 00:10:01,410
And then try to go

294
00:10:01,410 --> 00:10:02,850
And with the rocks

295
00:10:02,850 --> 00:10:03,570
And I would

296
00:10:03,570 --> 00:10:05,570
I remember doing that

297
00:10:06,760 --> 00:10:07,630
A lot

298
00:10:07,630 --> 00:10:09,290
And just thinking

299
00:10:09,290 --> 00:10:10,910
Even at that age

300
00:10:10,910 --> 00:10:11,650
I knew

301
00:10:11,650 --> 00:10:14,150
If I wanted to be able to ride a bike

302
00:10:14,150 --> 00:10:16,150
I had to figure it out

303
00:10:16,150 --> 00:10:17,930
And thank goodness

304
00:10:17,930 --> 00:10:20,110
I think after probably seeing

305
00:10:20,110 --> 00:10:22,130
Me do this a lot

306
00:10:22,130 --> 00:10:25,010
My sister's first husband

307
00:10:25,010 --> 00:10:26,370
My godfather

308
00:10:26,370 --> 00:10:27,090
Tom

309
00:10:27,830 --> 00:10:28,750
Took me

310
00:10:28,750 --> 00:10:29,390
To the street

311
00:10:30,170 --> 00:10:31,730
He took me to

312
00:10:31,730 --> 00:10:34,390
A guy who sold used

313
00:10:34,390 --> 00:10:35,410
Refurbished bikes

314
00:10:36,030 --> 00:10:37,610
And they got me

315
00:10:37,610 --> 00:10:39,310
Like a 20 inch

316
00:10:39,310 --> 00:10:41,530
Normal bike that I would have

317
00:10:41,530 --> 00:10:42,770
A chance with

318
00:10:42,770 --> 00:10:45,430
And I learned to ride on that

319
00:10:45,430 --> 00:10:47,230
God I have this similar story

320
00:10:47,230 --> 00:10:49,830
And I remember

321
00:10:49,830 --> 00:10:51,590
My father's comment on that was

322
00:10:51,590 --> 00:10:52,810
I don't know why you would drive a Ford

323
00:10:52,810 --> 00:10:54,110
When you got a Cadillac in the garage

324
00:10:54,720 --> 00:10:55,630
Like that was his thing

325
00:10:55,630 --> 00:10:56,690
Mine's better

326
00:10:57,450 --> 00:10:58,510
It's too big

327
00:10:59,350 --> 00:11:01,270
I'll be on that when I'm 14

328
00:11:01,270 --> 00:11:02,650
It'll be great

329
00:11:02,650 --> 00:11:05,190
I'm telling this story

330
00:11:05,790 --> 00:11:06,690
To Kelly

331
00:11:06,690 --> 00:11:08,210
And she's like this makes a lot of sense

332
00:11:08,210 --> 00:11:10,250
Because I am now

333
00:11:10,250 --> 00:11:11,790
I'm always number one

334
00:11:11,790 --> 00:11:13,410
With whatever I do

335
00:11:13,410 --> 00:11:15,490
I'm never afraid to just

336
00:11:15,490 --> 00:11:17,290
I figure stuff out

337
00:11:17,290 --> 00:11:19,410
I've always been that way

338
00:11:19,410 --> 00:11:21,270
But I think for me it almost has worked

339
00:11:21,270 --> 00:11:23,190
To my detriment sometimes

340
00:11:23,190 --> 00:11:24,850
Because it is foreign

341
00:11:24,850 --> 00:11:26,470
I don't ask for help

342
00:11:26,470 --> 00:11:28,410
I don't like to rely on

343
00:11:28,410 --> 00:11:31,350
You're on the other spectrum

344
00:11:31,350 --> 00:11:33,730
I don't want

345
00:11:33,730 --> 00:11:34,970
I don't like

346
00:11:34,970 --> 00:11:36,810
Having that stuff

347
00:11:37,300 --> 00:11:38,410
And I think

348
00:11:38,410 --> 00:11:39,950
That's important to have

349
00:11:41,690 --> 00:11:42,890
Relationships, work

350
00:11:42,890 --> 00:11:44,670
You have to have that

351
00:11:44,670 --> 00:11:46,810
It's time for you to help me

352
00:11:46,810 --> 00:11:47,650
I feel very

353
00:11:48,810 --> 00:11:49,330
Alone

354
00:11:49,330 --> 00:11:52,350
In many parts of my life

355
00:11:52,350 --> 00:11:54,090
I can see that in you

356
00:11:54,090 --> 00:11:54,970
Because of that

357
00:11:54,970 --> 00:11:58,610
I don't want to ask for help

358
00:11:58,610 --> 00:11:59,330
I don't want to rely

359
00:11:59,330 --> 00:12:02,290
I will figure out how to do and build and create

360
00:12:02,290 --> 00:12:03,750
Whatever it is I want to do

361
00:12:03,750 --> 00:12:05,210
Or build or create

362
00:12:05,210 --> 00:12:06,210
Which is good

363
00:12:07,130 --> 00:12:09,390
But I don't want my daughter

364
00:12:09,390 --> 00:12:10,790
To think that way

365
00:12:10,790 --> 00:12:12,670
I want her to have

366
00:12:12,670 --> 00:12:14,770
The good parts of what I have

367
00:12:14,770 --> 00:12:15,790
But yeah

368
00:12:16,390 --> 00:12:17,910
We're human, we all need help

369
00:12:17,910 --> 00:12:19,430
I know that it's okay

370
00:12:19,430 --> 00:12:21,730
That you can rely on people

371
00:12:21,730 --> 00:12:23,990
If you have the right people in your life

372
00:12:23,990 --> 00:12:25,130
They want to help you

373
00:12:25,130 --> 00:12:27,530
You have to be a whole person

374
00:12:27,530 --> 00:12:28,790
I have a whole

375
00:12:30,590 --> 00:12:32,310
You have to be a whole person

376
00:12:32,310 --> 00:12:33,770
And that's complete

377
00:12:33,770 --> 00:12:36,570
Not that I'm saying I'm complete

378
00:12:36,570 --> 00:12:37,710
No man is an island

379
00:12:37,710 --> 00:12:38,890
No man is an island

380
00:12:38,890 --> 00:12:40,530
But I have a similar

381
00:12:40,530 --> 00:12:42,950
My dad, I don't know if he was depressed

382
00:12:42,950 --> 00:12:44,570
I think he was

383
00:12:45,540 --> 00:12:46,770
Obviously we didn't know what it was

384
00:12:47,710 --> 00:12:48,810
He just called it

385
00:12:48,810 --> 00:12:50,170
He was angry

386
00:12:51,790 --> 00:12:53,810
And also wasn't very

387
00:12:54,970 --> 00:12:55,510
Fatherly

388
00:12:55,510 --> 00:12:56,850
And my mother

389
00:12:56,850 --> 00:12:58,970
She did everything else

390
00:12:59,590 --> 00:13:02,250
Riding a bike was not even in the cards

391
00:13:02,250 --> 00:13:03,710
I remember

392
00:13:03,710 --> 00:13:05,330
For me to get a bike

393
00:13:05,330 --> 00:13:07,010
And I don't feel proud of this

394
00:13:07,010 --> 00:13:08,310
But that was back in the day

395
00:13:08,310 --> 00:13:09,190
I think I had to

396
00:13:10,270 --> 00:13:12,590
Talk somebody out of their own bike

397
00:13:12,590 --> 00:13:14,150
And I kind of like stole it

398
00:13:14,150 --> 00:13:15,790
I took their bike

399
00:13:15,790 --> 00:13:17,410
And I said I'm going to paint it for you

400
00:13:17,410 --> 00:13:17,930
And all that

401
00:13:17,930 --> 00:13:19,630
And I never gave it back

402
00:13:19,630 --> 00:13:20,530
And the father came

403
00:13:23,610 --> 00:13:25,870
So I remember my next door neighbor

404
00:13:26,570 --> 00:13:27,970
Older gentleman named Carl

405
00:13:28,530 --> 00:13:30,370
He said I'll sell you a bike

406
00:13:30,370 --> 00:13:31,770
And I think it was like five dollars

407
00:13:31,770 --> 00:13:33,830
And somehow I got it for my

408
00:13:33,830 --> 00:13:34,930
Birthday money or something

409
00:13:34,930 --> 00:13:38,150
And I give him the money

410
00:13:38,150 --> 00:13:39,570
And he pulls up this

411
00:13:39,570 --> 00:13:41,570
26 inch 27 inch

412
00:13:42,710 --> 00:13:44,070
Huge women's bike

413
00:13:44,070 --> 00:13:45,570
And I'm like

414
00:13:46,670 --> 00:13:47,970
I guess I'm

415
00:13:47,970 --> 00:13:49,450
Gonna ride this

416
00:13:49,450 --> 00:13:50,770
This is what I got

417
00:13:50,770 --> 00:13:53,870
And my next door neighbor taught me how to

418
00:13:53,870 --> 00:13:55,230
Ride a bike her name was Janice

419
00:13:55,690 --> 00:13:56,790
My parents never did

420
00:13:56,790 --> 00:13:59,810
So that kind of told me

421
00:13:59,810 --> 00:14:01,250
My parents are not going to do it

422
00:14:01,250 --> 00:14:01,790
So you have to

423
00:14:01,790 --> 00:14:02,970
Find somebody

424
00:14:05,070 --> 00:14:06,630
That was your lesson

425
00:14:06,630 --> 00:14:09,670
My lesson was keep going

426
00:14:09,670 --> 00:14:10,330
On the gravel

427
00:14:10,930 --> 00:14:12,250
Until you can do it

428
00:14:12,250 --> 00:14:13,310
Although I did end up

429
00:14:13,310 --> 00:14:14,910
Get some help

430
00:14:16,750 --> 00:14:18,150
Somebody will help you

431
00:14:19,630 --> 00:14:21,270
It's interesting to think about

432
00:14:21,270 --> 00:14:22,130
With that stuff

433
00:14:22,130 --> 00:14:23,550
The article was really good

434
00:14:24,150 --> 00:14:25,570
To think about

435
00:14:25,570 --> 00:14:27,870
I can see it even now

436
00:14:27,870 --> 00:14:28,810
With baby Josie

437
00:14:29,380 --> 00:14:31,130
With just learning to crawl

438
00:14:31,620 --> 00:14:33,670
Her instinct is not

439
00:14:33,670 --> 00:14:35,090
To figure it out

440
00:14:35,650 --> 00:14:36,830
You have to let her

441
00:14:37,670 --> 00:14:38,950
Work at it

442
00:14:38,950 --> 00:14:39,930
And you can hear her

443
00:14:39,930 --> 00:14:41,070
She makes these little

444
00:14:42,510 --> 00:14:43,670
She's frustrated

445
00:14:43,670 --> 00:14:46,730
But you keep her trying

446
00:14:46,730 --> 00:14:48,110
For a little while

447
00:14:48,110 --> 00:14:49,790
And then you move on

448
00:14:49,790 --> 00:14:50,510
And give her a break

449
00:14:50,510 --> 00:14:51,150
There's plenty of stuff

450
00:14:51,150 --> 00:14:52,290
That we're going to help them out with

451
00:14:53,530 --> 00:14:55,010
It's not like oh my god

452
00:14:55,010 --> 00:14:55,870
Don't do anything

453
00:14:55,870 --> 00:14:57,070
That's impossible

454
00:14:57,070 --> 00:14:58,310
You're going to do it

455
00:14:59,370 --> 00:15:00,610
I'm still doing something

456
00:15:00,610 --> 00:15:01,690
For my 24 year old

457
00:15:01,690 --> 00:15:02,970
And my 19 year old

458
00:15:02,970 --> 00:15:05,870
But if you are that parent

459
00:15:05,870 --> 00:15:07,030
The helicopter parent

460
00:15:09,170 --> 00:15:10,550
The bubble wrap parent

461
00:15:10,550 --> 00:15:12,130
I'm going to do everything for

462
00:15:13,690 --> 00:15:15,910
I'm not the smartest person

463
00:15:15,910 --> 00:15:16,270
In the world

464
00:15:16,270 --> 00:15:18,950
That can't be healthy

465
00:15:18,950 --> 00:15:20,110
On any aspect

466
00:15:20,110 --> 00:15:20,810
Of this child

467
00:15:20,810 --> 00:15:21,530
Growing up

468
00:15:23,930 --> 00:15:25,410
That's the person

469
00:15:25,410 --> 00:15:27,290
Who wants to bring their mother

470
00:15:27,290 --> 00:15:28,790
To their interview

471
00:15:28,790 --> 00:15:30,050
For their first job

472
00:15:30,690 --> 00:15:32,270
If they even go to work

473
00:15:32,270 --> 00:15:34,030
I would just feel

474
00:15:34,030 --> 00:15:36,490
At some point

475
00:15:36,490 --> 00:15:38,350
There would be some gratification

476
00:15:38,350 --> 00:15:40,090
In helping my child

477
00:15:40,090 --> 00:15:41,930
But I would feel like such a failure

478
00:15:41,930 --> 00:15:43,790
If I had to go

479
00:15:43,790 --> 00:15:44,850
What did I do

480
00:15:44,850 --> 00:15:46,750
I'm going on an interview

481
00:15:46,750 --> 00:15:49,830
Oh my god

482
00:15:49,830 --> 00:15:50,950
What did I do to this person

483
00:15:52,030 --> 00:15:53,230
It's interesting

484
00:15:53,230 --> 00:15:54,590
And unfortunately

485
00:15:54,590 --> 00:15:57,650
There's a lot of children

486
00:15:57,650 --> 00:15:59,290
That were brought up this way

487
00:15:59,290 --> 00:16:00,170
Yeah there were

488
00:16:00,170 --> 00:16:03,170
So that was

489
00:16:03,170 --> 00:16:05,610
Again it was at newsweek.com

490
00:16:05,890 --> 00:16:07,690
The two professors were

491
00:16:07,690 --> 00:16:09,570
Daniel Morin and

492
00:16:09,570 --> 00:16:11,530
Dr. Samantha Whiten

493
00:16:11,530 --> 00:16:13,670
And it was a really interesting article

494
00:16:13,670 --> 00:16:14,430
So

495
00:16:15,310 --> 00:16:17,150
That was our book report

496
00:16:17,610 --> 00:16:19,530
Don't miss any of the fun

497
00:16:19,530 --> 00:16:20,830

And now

500
00:16:26,350 --> 00:16:27,510
This is another

501
00:16:27,510 --> 00:16:29,770
Last time we had I was wrong but I was right

502
00:16:29,770 --> 00:16:31,690
This time we have

503
00:16:31,690 --> 00:16:33,690
I was wrong

504
00:16:33,690 --> 00:16:36,110
You were wrong

505
00:16:36,110 --> 00:16:36,930
Of course

506
00:16:36,930 --> 00:16:39,410
So here we are with I was wrong

507
00:16:40,570 --> 00:16:41,230
So

508
00:16:41,230 --> 00:16:43,750
This time I was wrong came to me

509
00:16:43,750 --> 00:16:44,990
In the form of a text message

510
00:16:44,990 --> 00:16:46,510
From your lovely wife

511
00:16:46,510 --> 00:16:49,870
Where she took issue with

512
00:16:49,870 --> 00:16:51,810
I think I was saying

513
00:16:51,810 --> 00:16:53,410
How brilliant my wife is

514
00:16:54,140 --> 00:16:55,490
And she was

515
00:16:56,080 --> 00:16:57,530
Mostly jokingly saying

516
00:16:57,900 --> 00:16:59,990
So she's the only brilliant wife

517
00:16:59,990 --> 00:17:02,470
And then Carlo didn't say anything

518
00:17:02,470 --> 00:17:03,990
Now what I think works

519
00:17:03,990 --> 00:17:05,150
In your favor though is

520
00:17:05,150 --> 00:17:07,730
The next episode before she

521
00:17:07,730 --> 00:17:08,730
Is that episode out?

522
00:17:08,910 --> 00:17:10,730
That she hasn't seen yet but she will

523
00:17:10,730 --> 00:17:13,770
You say our wives are so much smarter than us

524
00:17:13,770 --> 00:17:14,849
Yeah I said we're dumb

525
00:17:14,849 --> 00:17:16,849
You said exactly what she wanted to hear

526
00:17:16,849 --> 00:17:19,310
In that episode but didn't

527
00:17:19,310 --> 00:17:21,369
I kind of doubled down I was joking with her

528
00:17:21,369 --> 00:17:22,609
Because she says that I text back

529
00:17:22,609 --> 00:17:24,349
I'm like I don't think I just said wives

530
00:17:24,349 --> 00:17:27,369
I just think I said she's the most brilliant person I know

531
00:17:27,950 --> 00:17:30,110
And she's like oh that's even better

532
00:17:30,110 --> 00:17:31,470
There's not one time

533
00:17:31,470 --> 00:17:33,550
I do not feel like

534
00:17:33,550 --> 00:17:35,490
A stupid man

535
00:17:35,490 --> 00:17:36,590
Around my wife

536
00:17:36,590 --> 00:17:39,310
God forbid if I watch

537
00:17:39,310 --> 00:17:40,270
Jeopardy

538
00:17:40,270 --> 00:17:43,090
I know nothing

539
00:17:43,090 --> 00:17:45,870
I sometimes sit there

540
00:17:45,870 --> 00:17:47,110
This is honest to God

541
00:17:47,110 --> 00:17:48,550
I sometimes sit there and go

542
00:17:48,550 --> 00:17:50,330
Did I go to school?

543
00:17:51,050 --> 00:17:59,550
Did anything retain In this peanut brain Anything because I'm like Did I skip that day?

544
00:17:59,550 --> 00:18:00,470
History?

545
00:18:01,390 --> 00:18:01,490
Math?

546
00:18:01,590 --> 00:18:01,930
English?

547
00:18:02,290 --> 00:18:04,290
I wish I could remember

548
00:18:04,290 --> 00:18:07,190
You know how windows will

549
00:18:07,190 --> 00:18:08,370
Change your desktop

550
00:18:08,970 --> 00:18:10,550
To a different thing

551
00:18:10,550 --> 00:18:11,870
So this time I turn it on

552
00:18:11,870 --> 00:18:13,710
I think it might have been a monkey

553
00:18:14,390 --> 00:18:15,950
But it was a cute picture

554
00:18:15,950 --> 00:18:17,850
So I'm like

555
00:18:17,850 --> 00:18:19,030
Kelly will like this

556
00:18:19,030 --> 00:18:20,450
So I snap a picture on my phone

557
00:18:20,450 --> 00:18:21,690
I text it to her

558
00:18:21,690 --> 00:18:22,950
And she replies oh

559
00:18:22,950 --> 00:18:24,350
And then she names like

560
00:18:24,350 --> 00:18:25,010
What it is

561
00:18:25,010 --> 00:18:25,670
And I'm like

562
00:18:25,670 --> 00:18:31,170
I sent it to you because I thought it was cute

563
00:18:31,170 --> 00:18:33,230
I don't know what this is

564
00:18:33,230 --> 00:18:34,630
This reminded me of me

565
00:18:34,630 --> 00:18:35,490
A monkey

566
00:18:35,490 --> 00:18:37,870
And you know the name of it

567
00:18:37,870 --> 00:18:39,290
He's a distant cousin

568
00:18:41,110 --> 00:18:42,690
I'm right with you

569
00:18:43,430 --> 00:18:45,210
I tell everybody

570
00:18:45,210 --> 00:18:46,710
Anytime I have

571
00:18:46,710 --> 00:18:48,290
That my wife is

572
00:18:48,810 --> 00:18:50,390
The smartest person I know

573
00:18:50,390 --> 00:18:52,290
The first time I ever heard of the term

574
00:18:52,290 --> 00:18:53,270
Marrying up

575
00:18:53,270 --> 00:18:55,550
I think they were talking about

576
00:18:57,270 --> 00:18:57,790
George

577
00:18:58,350 --> 00:18:59,230
Debbie Bush

578
00:18:59,230 --> 00:19:00,730
The younger of the two

579
00:19:00,730 --> 00:19:02,130
And his wife

580
00:19:02,130 --> 00:19:04,910
He would openly talk about how much smarter she was

581
00:19:04,910 --> 00:19:05,790
She was like a school teacher

582
00:19:05,790 --> 00:19:06,510
And everybody agreed

583
00:19:08,950 --> 00:19:10,470
We got you Pres

584
00:19:10,470 --> 00:19:12,630
Yeah we did

585
00:19:14,290 --> 00:19:16,310
I consider you very smart

586
00:19:16,310 --> 00:19:17,290
I'm pretty smart

587
00:19:17,290 --> 00:19:19,370
You got stuff going on

588
00:19:19,370 --> 00:19:23,210
I boil water

589
00:19:23,210 --> 00:19:25,650
And that's about it

590
00:19:25,650 --> 00:19:27,490
Yeah we're both lucky

591
00:19:27,490 --> 00:19:29,410
We're both lucky men

592
00:19:29,410 --> 00:19:31,750
So Trina you're brilliant too

593
00:19:31,750 --> 00:19:33,410
Your husband said it

594
00:19:33,410 --> 00:19:34,290
Without being prompted

595
00:19:34,290 --> 00:19:35,890
You just have to rewind

596
00:19:35,890 --> 00:19:39,550
It was something we recorded before we got

597
00:19:39,550 --> 00:19:40,470
Involved in this

598
00:19:40,470 --> 00:19:41,870
I was wrong

599
00:19:41,870 --> 00:19:44,750
We think so highly of you

600
00:19:44,750 --> 00:19:46,230
We still do the I was wrong

601
00:19:46,230 --> 00:19:48,630
Even though we kind of proved ourselves

602
00:19:48,630 --> 00:19:49,050
The other way

603
00:19:50,090 --> 00:19:51,510
Not even a little

604
00:19:52,590 --> 00:19:53,430
So that was

605
00:19:53,430 --> 00:19:55,530
I was wrong

606
00:19:55,530 --> 00:19:56,830
And now

607
00:19:56,830 --> 00:19:58,830
We'll move right into

608
00:19:59,450 --> 00:20:00,910
What just happened

609
00:20:02,910 --> 00:20:04,770
So we just talked about

610
00:20:04,770 --> 00:20:06,350
The first thing that would happen

611
00:20:06,350 --> 00:20:08,810
Which was she has graduated to the big tub

612
00:20:08,810 --> 00:20:10,410
So that means now

613
00:20:10,410 --> 00:20:11,670
We're kind of at this place

614
00:20:11,670 --> 00:20:12,870
Where we have to

615
00:20:13,620 --> 00:20:15,190
Make a decision of

616
00:20:15,750 --> 00:20:17,890
What happens to the

617
00:20:17,890 --> 00:20:20,250
Equipment that is no longer used

618
00:20:20,250 --> 00:20:21,410
Now we got the tub

619
00:20:21,410 --> 00:20:22,870
The grown out equipment

620
00:20:23,720 --> 00:20:24,850
Does it go

621
00:20:25,530 --> 00:20:27,370
Do we think about

622
00:20:27,370 --> 00:20:29,150
I got questions for you

623
00:20:29,750 --> 00:20:31,390
I got questions for you

624
00:20:31,390 --> 00:20:32,970
And I love you to death

625
00:20:33,750 --> 00:20:35,410
You're 107 now

626
00:20:35,410 --> 00:20:36,430
107 yes

627
00:20:36,430 --> 00:20:37,930
My biological age

628
00:20:37,930 --> 00:20:39,310
He's a vampire

629
00:20:39,850 --> 00:20:41,130
My biological age is

630
00:20:41,130 --> 00:20:43,470
Generally I would say to a parent

631
00:20:43,470 --> 00:20:44,670
That has that question

632
00:20:44,670 --> 00:20:47,110
Are you guys planning another child

633
00:20:47,110 --> 00:20:47,730
Yes

634
00:20:47,730 --> 00:20:49,490
That would be the question

635
00:20:49,490 --> 00:20:52,330
That would be your first question

636
00:20:52,330 --> 00:20:55,390
You guys are probably planning on one or two

637
00:20:55,390 --> 00:20:55,750
Or three

638
00:20:55,750 --> 00:20:58,010
Keep it

639
00:20:58,010 --> 00:21:00,210
I don't want to get into personal life

640
00:21:00,210 --> 00:21:02,670
So one is reusing it

641
00:21:02,670 --> 00:21:05,810
Two is giving it to a family

642
00:21:05,810 --> 00:21:06,470
That needs it

643
00:21:07,610 --> 00:21:07,990
Or

644
00:21:09,750 --> 00:21:11,670
Three we just kind of

645
00:21:11,670 --> 00:21:12,910
Rescue

646
00:21:13,890 --> 00:21:14,410
Donate

647
00:21:14,410 --> 00:21:17,330
So what do you think

648
00:21:17,810 --> 00:21:19,070
This is one of those things

649
00:21:19,650 --> 00:21:21,130
That I think

650
00:21:21,890 --> 00:21:23,590
You know obviously

651
00:21:23,590 --> 00:21:25,690
There's my age and then

652
00:21:25,690 --> 00:21:26,450
There's Kelly's age

653
00:21:26,450 --> 00:21:29,670
Kelly is significantly younger

654
00:21:29,670 --> 00:21:31,910
But still she was just

655
00:21:31,910 --> 00:21:33,150
At the point of

656
00:21:33,150 --> 00:21:34,890
What they consider

657
00:21:34,890 --> 00:21:37,230
She's considered

658
00:21:37,230 --> 00:21:38,730
A geriatric pregnancy

659
00:21:38,730 --> 00:21:39,670
Now

660
00:21:40,840 --> 00:21:43,510
My mother in 1969

661
00:21:43,510 --> 00:21:45,350
Was

662
00:21:45,350 --> 00:21:46,410
42

663
00:21:46,410 --> 00:21:47,870
When she had me

664
00:21:47,870 --> 00:21:51,290
And that was her best work

665
00:21:51,290 --> 00:21:52,830
That was

666
00:21:52,830 --> 00:21:55,570
And now Kelly's around that age

667
00:21:55,570 --> 00:21:56,350
So

668
00:21:57,230 --> 00:21:58,450
I'm not

669
00:21:59,230 --> 00:22:01,210
Obviously there are challenges

670
00:22:02,870 --> 00:22:03,430
But

671
00:22:03,430 --> 00:22:05,130
And I have not

672
00:22:05,130 --> 00:22:06,110
We have not had

673
00:22:06,690 --> 00:22:09,330
We just kind of smile at each other when that question

674
00:22:09,330 --> 00:22:09,990
Comes up

675
00:22:10,570 --> 00:22:13,310
We haven't had a real serious conversation

676
00:22:13,310 --> 00:22:13,690
But

677
00:22:13,690 --> 00:22:15,330
I would think

678
00:22:15,330 --> 00:22:18,030
I am already

679
00:22:18,650 --> 00:22:19,210
Thinking

680
00:22:19,210 --> 00:22:21,730
I would do this again in a heartbeat

681
00:22:21,730 --> 00:22:23,670
I don't care how old I am

682
00:22:23,670 --> 00:22:26,350
If there's a breath of life in me

683
00:22:26,350 --> 00:22:29,030
I would want to experience all this again

684
00:22:29,030 --> 00:22:29,570
Because

685
00:22:29,570 --> 00:22:32,570
I mean we talk about being old

686
00:22:32,570 --> 00:22:34,570
But you're still not an old person

687
00:22:34,900 --> 00:22:36,430
There are physical challenges

688
00:22:36,430 --> 00:22:39,330
And I'm sure they're going to get a lot worse

689
00:22:39,330 --> 00:22:40,310
When she's mobile and running around

690
00:22:40,310 --> 00:22:41,010
But they get older too

691
00:22:41,010 --> 00:22:42,890
And you get to experience stuff

692
00:22:44,170 --> 00:22:45,770
And I'm not sure

693
00:22:45,770 --> 00:22:46,410
I'll be interested

694
00:22:46,410 --> 00:22:49,650
I would say with almost 100% confidence

695
00:22:49,650 --> 00:22:52,470
That there's no way Kelly would say

696
00:22:53,110 --> 00:22:53,790
Forget it

697
00:22:53,790 --> 00:22:55,110
Shut it up

698
00:22:55,110 --> 00:22:57,010
She may not be as enthusiastic

699
00:22:57,010 --> 00:22:59,390
About it as I am

700
00:22:59,390 --> 00:23:00,710
But I know it is

701
00:23:00,710 --> 00:23:02,950
Important for both of us

702
00:23:02,950 --> 00:23:05,270
To the idea of having

703
00:23:05,270 --> 00:23:06,470
A sibling

704
00:23:07,190 --> 00:23:07,750
That

705
00:23:07,750 --> 00:23:09,010
We all have

706
00:23:09,010 --> 00:23:12,510
She has

707
00:23:13,050 --> 00:23:14,890
Great memories with her siblings

708
00:23:14,890 --> 00:23:17,270
You and your brother

709
00:23:17,270 --> 00:23:17,650
We have

710
00:23:17,650 --> 00:23:21,290
And mine is different

711
00:23:21,290 --> 00:23:22,530
But I have wonderful

712
00:23:23,090 --> 00:23:23,610
Relationships

713
00:23:23,610 --> 00:23:25,710
With my siblings as well

714
00:23:25,710 --> 00:23:26,650
Can I ask you a question?

715
00:23:26,930 --> 00:23:29,970
Are you mad

716
00:23:29,970 --> 00:23:31,710
That you had older parents

717
00:23:31,710 --> 00:23:34,450
Do you think something is missing

718
00:23:34,450 --> 00:23:36,050
That you're like I can't believe

719
00:23:36,050 --> 00:23:37,070
They had me

720
00:23:38,250 --> 00:23:38,770
Exactly

721
00:23:38,770 --> 00:23:42,450
I always said that

722
00:23:42,450 --> 00:23:43,290
That's what your kids

723
00:23:43,290 --> 00:23:45,550
They're not going to be like why did they have me

724
00:23:45,550 --> 00:23:47,710
They're going to be like I'm so glad

725
00:23:47,710 --> 00:23:50,050
I had my parents

726
00:23:50,050 --> 00:23:52,230
Yeah honestly even if that ever came up

727
00:23:52,230 --> 00:23:53,310
Like why did you do it

728
00:23:53,310 --> 00:23:55,670
I could just tell them stories about what I was like

729
00:23:55,670 --> 00:23:56,850
When I should have had kids

730
00:23:56,850 --> 00:23:58,230
And they'd be like thank you

731
00:24:00,390 --> 00:24:02,130
But at the same time

732
00:24:02,130 --> 00:24:03,270
At the same time

733
00:24:03,270 --> 00:24:04,610
Because I say that about myself

734
00:24:04,610 --> 00:24:07,370
I think we are responsible enough to know

735
00:24:07,370 --> 00:24:09,090
If something like that happened

736
00:24:09,090 --> 00:24:11,190
In our young age we would buckle down

737
00:24:11,190 --> 00:24:12,690
I know without a doubt

738
00:24:13,710 --> 00:24:15,730
We didn't because that situation

739
00:24:15,730 --> 00:24:16,330
Didn't happen

740
00:24:16,330 --> 00:24:18,290
I have been surprised

741
00:24:18,290 --> 00:24:20,070
That is one of the things that

742
00:24:20,070 --> 00:24:22,290
Really surprised me

743
00:24:22,290 --> 00:24:24,030
About becoming a father

744
00:24:24,030 --> 00:24:25,450
And that is

745
00:24:26,610 --> 00:24:28,290
I was very productive

746
00:24:28,950 --> 00:24:29,590
And

747
00:24:30,290 --> 00:24:31,670
Good and very

748
00:24:33,130 --> 00:24:34,030
Worked hard

749
00:24:34,030 --> 00:24:35,730
I was you know

750
00:24:35,730 --> 00:24:37,810
I was in a slouch before my baby

751
00:24:37,810 --> 00:24:40,490
I worked really hard at lots of things

752
00:24:40,490 --> 00:24:41,810
Right personal stuff

753
00:24:41,810 --> 00:24:42,730
Professional stuff

754
00:24:42,730 --> 00:24:44,850
And I am way

755
00:24:46,010 --> 00:24:46,570
More

756
00:24:47,290 --> 00:24:47,850
Driven

757
00:24:47,850 --> 00:24:50,030
Since that little girl was born

758
00:24:50,030 --> 00:24:51,630
Than I have ever been

759
00:24:51,630 --> 00:24:53,230
And I never would have imagined

760
00:24:53,230 --> 00:24:54,850
I could turn it up

761
00:24:55,610 --> 00:24:57,410
Not that I was a dynamo

762
00:24:57,410 --> 00:24:59,930
But you know I never felt like I was

763
00:24:59,930 --> 00:25:00,930
Phoning it in

764
00:25:00,930 --> 00:25:03,370
I always try to work hard

765
00:25:03,370 --> 00:25:04,770
And do a good job

766
00:25:04,770 --> 00:25:07,070
And really do the best I could

767
00:25:07,070 --> 00:25:08,070
With whatever I was doing

768
00:25:08,070 --> 00:25:09,830
And now it is just like

769
00:25:09,830 --> 00:25:10,550
I

770
00:25:11,950 --> 00:25:12,990
Work later

771
00:25:12,990 --> 00:25:14,590
I spend more time

772
00:25:14,590 --> 00:25:16,410
I do less

773
00:25:17,330 --> 00:25:19,910
When I think about the amount of time I spent

774
00:25:19,910 --> 00:25:21,730
Watching television or playing video games

775
00:25:21,730 --> 00:25:23,710
Or doing other things none of that stuff

776
00:25:23,710 --> 00:25:26,090
You don't even think about it

777
00:25:26,090 --> 00:25:28,150
Because I am thinking about all the other things

778
00:25:28,150 --> 00:25:29,810
That I want to do for

779
00:25:29,810 --> 00:25:31,110
Us and for her

780
00:25:32,010 --> 00:25:33,470
I think you are right

781
00:25:33,470 --> 00:25:35,150
I would have stepped up

782
00:25:36,210 --> 00:25:37,370
Because I never would have

783
00:25:37,370 --> 00:25:38,750
Expected this but still

784
00:25:38,750 --> 00:25:39,650
I also know

785
00:25:39,650 --> 00:25:41,370
I mean I was

786
00:25:42,090 --> 00:25:43,510
I wasn't young

787
00:25:43,510 --> 00:25:45,430
But I wasn't in my 50s

788
00:25:45,430 --> 00:25:46,910
I was in my early 30s

789
00:25:47,850 --> 00:25:49,990
And I didn't know

790
00:25:49,990 --> 00:25:51,330
What I was doing

791
00:25:51,330 --> 00:25:54,410
But I am also

792
00:25:55,110 --> 00:25:55,390
Glad

793
00:25:55,390 --> 00:25:58,390
That I never really got too bad

794
00:25:58,390 --> 00:25:59,210
As a single person

795
00:25:59,210 --> 00:26:00,250
I didn't get into drugs

796
00:26:00,250 --> 00:26:01,090
I didn't get into alcohol

797
00:26:02,110 --> 00:26:03,850
I was a mess

798
00:26:03,850 --> 00:26:04,850
In financial

799
00:26:04,850 --> 00:26:07,810
I didn't know how to take care of myself

800
00:26:07,810 --> 00:26:09,170
Because again

801
00:26:09,170 --> 00:26:10,730
My parents

802
00:26:11,810 --> 00:26:12,850
Were helping me

803
00:26:13,290 --> 00:26:14,350
Don't pay for rent

804
00:26:14,350 --> 00:26:15,350
Live here for free

805
00:26:16,430 --> 00:26:18,310
Which now that kind of ruined me

806
00:26:18,310 --> 00:26:20,030
Because now I am like money means nothing

807
00:26:20,030 --> 00:26:21,110
I don't have to pay for anything

808
00:26:21,110 --> 00:26:22,550
I will just waste it at a bar

809
00:26:23,090 --> 00:26:24,670
Hanging out or out to dinner

810
00:26:24,670 --> 00:26:26,290
You were able to have a different lifestyle

811
00:26:26,290 --> 00:26:27,550
Than you would have been able to

812
00:26:27,550 --> 00:26:31,050
But what I would say to that question

813
00:26:31,510 --> 00:26:32,210
Would be

814
00:26:32,210 --> 00:26:34,250
If you are still in that mode

815
00:26:34,250 --> 00:26:35,490
Of I don't know

816
00:26:35,490 --> 00:26:36,650
You hold on to it

817
00:26:36,650 --> 00:26:40,010
You store them

818
00:26:40,010 --> 00:26:42,270
Until you know you don't have to store them anymore

819
00:26:43,110 --> 00:26:43,890
Either way

820
00:26:43,890 --> 00:26:45,170
I think that is what we will do

821
00:26:46,730 --> 00:26:48,130
Set the stuff aside

822
00:26:48,590 --> 00:26:49,830
Hopefully somebody in the family

823
00:26:50,510 --> 00:26:51,490
Will need them

824
00:26:51,490 --> 00:26:53,890
It will work itself out

825
00:26:53,890 --> 00:26:55,510
If you guys are ready for that conversation

826
00:26:55,510 --> 00:26:58,230
Now my question is not to get too detailed

827
00:26:58,230 --> 00:26:59,750
Would it be harder

828
00:26:59,750 --> 00:27:00,530
Or better

829
00:27:00,530 --> 00:27:03,130
Is it harder or easier the second time

830
00:27:03,130 --> 00:27:03,990
For pregnancy

831
00:27:06,050 --> 00:27:07,070
I think

832
00:27:07,070 --> 00:27:08,990
There are always challenges

833
00:27:09,470 --> 00:27:11,590
But I don't see

834
00:27:11,590 --> 00:27:12,970
I don't know

835
00:27:13,410 --> 00:27:16,050
There is two things

836
00:27:16,050 --> 00:27:16,710
The risks

837
00:27:16,710 --> 00:27:18,670
I just read a lot about

838
00:27:18,670 --> 00:27:20,190
Just recently

839
00:27:20,190 --> 00:27:21,990
There was a whole slew of articles

840
00:27:22,660 --> 00:27:25,130
About the associated risks

841
00:27:25,130 --> 00:27:26,350
Of an older father

842
00:27:26,350 --> 00:27:27,690
Right

843
00:27:27,690 --> 00:27:29,050
So somebody at my age

844
00:27:29,050 --> 00:27:30,990
Risks of autism

845
00:27:30,990 --> 00:27:33,890
Down syndrome

846
00:27:34,620 --> 00:27:35,030
So

847
00:27:35,030 --> 00:27:38,130
There is that

848
00:27:38,130 --> 00:27:39,050
But I don't believe

849
00:27:39,050 --> 00:27:40,890
I think we are both

850
00:27:41,830 --> 00:27:43,230
Generally healthy

851
00:27:43,230 --> 00:27:44,390
People

852
00:27:44,390 --> 00:27:46,130
We come from

853
00:27:46,130 --> 00:27:47,050
Good stock

854
00:27:47,050 --> 00:27:49,350
Italian, Polish, Indian

855
00:27:49,910 --> 00:27:50,430
Solid

856
00:27:51,210 --> 00:27:52,650
We are okay

857
00:27:54,310 --> 00:27:55,750
My wife and I had

858
00:27:55,750 --> 00:27:57,590
The option

859
00:27:57,590 --> 00:27:58,450
Obviously we were younger

860
00:27:58,450 --> 00:28:00,690
I have a 24 year old and a 19

861
00:28:00,690 --> 00:28:01,590
So there was a time

862
00:28:01,590 --> 00:28:04,630
Where we didn't even think about it

863
00:28:04,630 --> 00:28:06,190
We were just raising our first

864
00:28:06,190 --> 00:28:07,970
And then it got to a point

865
00:28:07,970 --> 00:28:12,470
Where we were like

866
00:28:12,470 --> 00:28:13,010
And

867
00:28:14,730 --> 00:28:16,250
I just had to look at my wife

868
00:28:16,250 --> 00:28:16,890
When she got pregnant

869
00:28:16,890 --> 00:28:19,730
And didn't even enjoy

870
00:28:19,730 --> 00:28:20,810
The fun part

871
00:28:22,450 --> 00:28:23,730
But it took a while

872
00:28:24,430 --> 00:28:26,410
For us to get to that conversation

873
00:28:26,410 --> 00:28:27,870
And when we did we were ready

874
00:28:27,870 --> 00:28:29,430
I don't think it will be like that for us

875
00:28:29,430 --> 00:28:30,670
We were younger

876
00:28:31,470 --> 00:28:32,610
It has to be like tomorrow

877
00:28:34,250 --> 00:28:35,730
It will probably be quicker

878
00:28:35,730 --> 00:28:37,390
But honestly I would

879
00:28:37,390 --> 00:28:38,310
And the idea

880
00:28:38,970 --> 00:28:40,470
I am thrilled

881
00:28:40,470 --> 00:28:42,770
And thrilled with having my daughter

882
00:28:42,770 --> 00:28:44,150
I have never been happier in my whole life

883
00:28:44,830 --> 00:28:46,410
But the idea of having

884
00:28:46,410 --> 00:28:47,090
A little boy

885
00:28:47,910 --> 00:28:49,750
You got your daughter already

886
00:28:50,380 --> 00:28:51,210
Having a little boy

887
00:28:51,210 --> 00:28:53,550
I like having the older sister

888
00:28:53,550 --> 00:28:54,750
And the younger brother

889
00:28:54,750 --> 00:28:58,250
I always wanted an older sister

890
00:28:58,250 --> 00:29:00,050
I mean

891
00:29:00,050 --> 00:29:00,990
I love my older brother

892
00:29:02,010 --> 00:29:04,250
But I always

893
00:29:04,250 --> 00:29:06,050
Thought like I have my older brother

894
00:29:06,050 --> 00:29:07,870
For brother stuff

895
00:29:07,870 --> 00:29:09,530
But I always wished

896
00:29:09,530 --> 00:29:11,230
Somebody older than him

897
00:29:11,230 --> 00:29:12,130
Like a female older

898
00:29:12,130 --> 00:29:13,210
That could help us all

899
00:29:14,710 --> 00:29:16,670
Kind of like in between a mom

900
00:29:16,670 --> 00:29:19,290
And an assistant mom

901
00:29:20,110 --> 00:29:21,330
So we will see

902
00:29:21,330 --> 00:29:22,130
We will see how that goes

903
00:29:22,130 --> 00:29:23,830
So we graduated to the big tub

904
00:29:23,830 --> 00:29:27,370
We have covered a lot of ground

905
00:29:27,370 --> 00:29:29,030
And we have even more to share with you

906
00:29:29,030 --> 00:29:30,330
