Toddler Boat Poles, Mr. T Jewelry & Dax Shepard Fail! Older Dads Podcast: S02E04 Part 1

1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:12,080
The end of the boat has, there's a little swim platform and there's like a railing, but it's like a, almost like a U-shaped, upside down U-pole.

2
00:00:12,220 --> 00:00:12,720
Okay, yeah.

3
00:00:12,780 --> 00:00:14,680
Right, so it's just you grab it when you're getting on and off the boat.

4
00:00:15,680 --> 00:00:20,520
Well, it's like the height of the, it's like just a little bit taller than the baby.

5
00:00:20,720 --> 00:00:21,000
Okay.

6
00:00:21,200 --> 00:00:27,740
So baby Josie's in her little swimsuit and she's standing there and she's holding on to it.

7
00:00:27,740 --> 00:00:30,380
And she's dancing, like there's music playing and she's dancing.

8
00:00:30,760 --> 00:00:40,640
And I hear one of the people that we're with say something along the lines of, oh, he better, like, basically like, I should be worried.

9
00:00:41,140 --> 00:00:41,260
Okay.

10
00:00:41,320 --> 00:00:50,060
And I look, and then I look at it, of course, and then I immediately make the connection that my lovely wife does not, which is, it looks like a stripper pole.

11
00:00:50,620 --> 00:00:52,200
It's a baby-sized stripper pole.

12
00:00:52,200 --> 00:00:53,860
Oh my God, and she's dancing with the music.

13
00:00:53,940 --> 00:00:56,620
She's holding on to it, dancing, and I'm like, oh no.

14
00:00:56,620 --> 00:00:57,840
That's hilarious.

15
00:00:58,040 --> 00:01:02,140
I turned around, I'm like, trust me.

16
00:01:02,480 --> 00:01:05,320
Dude, that story went so different than I thought.

17
00:01:05,580 --> 00:01:08,500
I was like, she was in danger because the thing was going to fall.

18
00:01:09,440 --> 00:01:10,080
That's hilarious.

19
00:01:10,460 --> 00:01:13,620
I also have to show you, maybe I'll put up a picture with her face right now.

20
00:01:13,700 --> 00:01:16,380
But yeah, she's got her cute little, you know, swimming costume on.

21
00:01:16,400 --> 00:01:18,500
Oh my God, training, no, getting stopped.

22
00:01:18,520 --> 00:01:19,420
There will be none of that.

23
00:01:20,200 --> 00:01:22,700
This is the Gray Hair and Day Care Podcast.

24
00:01:23,420 --> 00:01:28,200
With a combined age of 111 years and a combined IQ rate in that same range.

25
00:01:28,860 --> 00:01:32,840
Your hosts, Frank Sirio and Carlo Russo.

26
00:01:34,240 --> 00:01:35,440
Welcome back.

27
00:01:35,540 --> 00:01:36,260
Here we are.

28
00:01:36,920 --> 00:01:42,840
We were all excited the last time we recorded because it was only three weeks in between recording.

29
00:01:43,060 --> 00:01:46,420
We did say some funny things about recording time.

30
00:01:46,520 --> 00:01:48,060
We were going to do better with that.

31
00:01:48,060 --> 00:01:54,240
That was June 25th and today is August 11th, something like that.

32
00:01:54,740 --> 00:01:55,400
So we did good.

33
00:01:55,880 --> 00:01:56,440
Sure.

34
00:01:57,500 --> 00:02:00,720
July just went completely gone.

35
00:02:02,400 --> 00:02:06,740
But we're back and we're going to, and I didn't even like.

36
00:02:06,820 --> 00:02:08,180
Better than ever, that's what they say.

37
00:02:08,400 --> 00:02:11,740
Back and better than ever, which is a low bar, but it's okay.

38
00:02:12,660 --> 00:02:13,780
We'll have fun.

39
00:02:14,460 --> 00:02:17,980
But as always, I am Frank Sirio.

40
00:02:18,060 --> 00:02:22,480
I am still for another month or so, 56 years old.

41
00:02:22,700 --> 00:02:29,680
And my little girl, baby Josie is a little over 17 months old.

42
00:02:30,700 --> 00:02:31,880
It's very hard.

43
00:02:32,320 --> 00:02:33,640
It's very hard to understand.

44
00:02:33,960 --> 00:02:36,520
I haven't seen her since June and it's like, wow.

45
00:02:36,760 --> 00:02:42,660
She was in her little occadial thing in the kitchen, which we will talk about.

46
00:02:42,760 --> 00:02:44,680
That's a new acquisition.

47
00:02:45,480 --> 00:02:46,460
But yeah, it's crazy.

48
00:02:46,460 --> 00:02:49,380
The time is just absolutely flying by and.

49
00:02:49,580 --> 00:02:51,160
Summer is flying by, flew by.

50
00:02:51,360 --> 00:02:51,660
Yes.

51
00:02:51,800 --> 00:02:52,820
And changes are, yeah.

52
00:02:52,840 --> 00:02:53,480
Don't say flew.

53
00:02:53,620 --> 00:02:54,360
It's not gone yet.

54
00:02:54,400 --> 00:02:54,820
I know.

55
00:02:55,020 --> 00:02:55,880
We got another.

56
00:02:56,140 --> 00:02:57,320
By the time they see this.

57
00:02:57,500 --> 00:02:58,120
By the time, yeah.

58
00:02:58,260 --> 00:03:01,460
It'll probably fall by well into fall.

59
00:03:01,660 --> 00:03:01,780
Merry Christmas.

60
00:03:01,860 --> 00:03:02,060
Yes.

61
00:03:02,120 --> 00:03:03,980
This is our pre, this is our Christmas episode.

62
00:03:04,060 --> 00:03:04,660
We're just kidding.

63
00:03:04,800 --> 00:03:05,240
This will be out there.

64
00:03:05,240 --> 00:03:06,100
I forgot my hat.

65
00:03:06,300 --> 00:03:10,980
But yeah, we got, it's been, it's been very busy, but you've been traveling all over the place.

66
00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:11,160
Yeah.

67
00:03:11,180 --> 00:03:12,520
I had a busy, busy July.

68
00:03:12,820 --> 00:03:13,660
So all over the.

69
00:03:13,780 --> 00:03:16,040
West coast, east coast.

70
00:03:16,040 --> 00:03:17,080
Vacation with the family.

71
00:03:17,220 --> 00:03:22,100
Another vacation in two days with my immediate family and then back on the road.

72
00:03:22,180 --> 00:03:24,460
So yeah, it's been crazy, but it's good.

73
00:03:24,620 --> 00:03:24,960
It's good.

74
00:03:25,120 --> 00:03:27,540
It's good to be busy in a good way.

75
00:03:27,680 --> 00:03:27,960
Yes.

76
00:03:28,060 --> 00:03:28,640
In a nice way.

77
00:03:28,660 --> 00:03:29,460
Yeah, that's true.

78
00:03:29,740 --> 00:03:36,360
So we're going to dive in as we often do with the book report that is not a book report.

79
00:03:36,580 --> 00:03:39,220
So here we are with book report.

80
00:03:41,800 --> 00:03:50,360
So this time, another website that I have not been a frequenter of called cafe mom.com.

81
00:03:50,800 --> 00:03:53,420
And the article was about famous people.

82
00:03:54,100 --> 00:03:56,760
And usually I read those and I just roll my eyes.

83
00:03:56,900 --> 00:03:57,880
Cause we're not in it.

84
00:03:57,940 --> 00:03:59,660
No, cause it's never, it's never us.

85
00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:00,940
We're serving the coffee.

86
00:04:01,080 --> 00:04:02,180
And it's always something crazy.

87
00:04:02,180 --> 00:04:08,980
Like, you know, why, you know, Kelsey Grammer has 17 children at 73 or whatever.

88
00:04:08,980 --> 00:04:10,400
I love Kelsey Grammer.

89
00:04:10,780 --> 00:04:10,880
Allegedly.

90
00:04:11,240 --> 00:04:11,620
Yes.

91
00:04:11,940 --> 00:04:13,780
But this one was the title.

92
00:04:13,880 --> 00:04:22,280
The article was Dax Shepard says he's raising entitled and disrespectful kids.

93
00:04:23,460 --> 00:04:25,300
And I thought, okay.

94
00:04:25,540 --> 00:04:28,580
Was he handed them like at 11 and 13 years old?

95
00:04:28,820 --> 00:04:30,620
They gave it to them at that age.

96
00:04:30,700 --> 00:04:31,120
They are.

97
00:04:31,300 --> 00:04:32,440
No, they raised them.

98
00:04:32,600 --> 00:04:33,460
He raised them.

99
00:04:33,560 --> 00:04:33,680
Oh, okay.

100
00:04:34,040 --> 00:04:37,080
And the article was basically a story.

101
00:04:37,080 --> 00:04:56,060
It was recounted that he was visiting with some friends in Nashville and his children were so disrespectful of like the servers and the restaurant and of, of their parents that the friend was kind of like, Hey, wow, your kids really let it rip.

102
00:04:56,280 --> 00:04:57,360
They got embarrassed.

103
00:04:57,480 --> 00:05:03,120
But his response was that this is somehow by design.

104
00:05:03,180 --> 00:05:06,800
He is intentionally raising these two girls.

105
00:05:07,080 --> 00:05:08,440
Two girls.

106
00:05:08,500 --> 00:05:08,940
Two girls.

107
00:05:09,180 --> 00:05:10,880
Their names are Lincoln and Delta.

108
00:05:11,460 --> 00:05:11,860
Wow.

109
00:05:11,920 --> 00:05:12,420
Very nice.

110
00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:14,480
11 and 13 years old.

111
00:05:15,600 --> 00:05:33,860
And apparently frightening, you know, service, service staff and friends, because they're so disrespectful and, and his, his take on it was, which I thought was interesting was the quote was when, when they're 19 years old and their boss is a creep, I want them to be disrespectful.

112
00:05:34,520 --> 00:05:34,860
Wow.

113
00:05:35,940 --> 00:05:37,340
And I thought.

114
00:05:37,620 --> 00:05:39,260
That can't backfire at all.

115
00:05:39,560 --> 00:05:43,280
You know, first of all, his wife's name is Kristen Bell.

116
00:05:43,460 --> 00:05:43,960
Okay.

117
00:05:44,500 --> 00:05:52,860
First of all, I have a problem with Zach Shepard because how that man landed that woman is beyond.

118
00:05:53,060 --> 00:05:55,400
She seems very nice and funny and put together.

119
00:05:55,540 --> 00:05:56,740
Intelligent, funny.

120
00:05:56,920 --> 00:05:57,120
Everything.

121
00:05:58,480 --> 00:05:59,580
Incredible voice.

122
00:05:59,740 --> 00:05:59,900
Yeah.

123
00:05:59,920 --> 00:06:01,500
She's like, she's a very talented person.

124
00:06:01,680 --> 00:06:02,720
Multi-talented woman.

125
00:06:02,800 --> 00:06:03,720
And then he's just.

126
00:06:04,200 --> 00:06:05,240
And then there's him.

127
00:06:05,560 --> 00:06:05,680
Right.

128
00:06:05,780 --> 00:06:07,660
So whatever, like, God bless him.

129
00:06:07,720 --> 00:06:09,600
I don't know how he did that, but good for you.

130
00:06:09,700 --> 00:06:15,040
But this just seems so at thinking about it as, look, I'm raising a little girl.

131
00:06:15,420 --> 00:06:22,020
I don't want, you know, we putting myself in that situation when she's 19 and her boss is a creep.

132
00:06:22,400 --> 00:06:24,560
I want her to be able to handle herself.

133
00:06:25,420 --> 00:06:47,000
But what, when you, when you have 11 and 13 year old little girls who are rude to people to the point and rude to their parents to that point, doesn't he think like in my mind, the first place that I go to is if they are pushing their way through life at 11 and 13, by the time they get to 19, you're going to say exactly what I'm thinking.

134
00:06:47,060 --> 00:06:52,260
They're going to, they're going to be only attracted to the guy who pushes back.

135
00:06:52,880 --> 00:06:56,000
And that's the real creep that you got to worry about.

136
00:06:56,000 --> 00:07:02,440
The only thing I think of is when you said this is they're going to be the creepy employer.

137
00:07:02,820 --> 00:07:03,220
Yeah.

138
00:07:03,340 --> 00:07:07,220
They're going to be the one that's going to be creeping people out the way they act.

139
00:07:07,420 --> 00:07:10,380
They're going to be the Ellen's and the ones that you can't, you know what I mean?

140
00:07:10,520 --> 00:07:12,540
They're going to be the boss that pretend to be.

141
00:07:12,580 --> 00:07:17,160
They're going to be the people that you're thinking you're protecting them against.

142
00:07:17,300 --> 00:07:19,100
They're going to be that person.

143
00:07:19,240 --> 00:07:19,540
Yeah.

144
00:07:19,700 --> 00:07:21,580
People have to be protected against them.

145
00:07:21,580 --> 00:07:31,780
And I think young women like that are drawn to the wrong guy because they're the only, because a nice guy is going to see that and turn around and run the other way.

146
00:07:32,100 --> 00:07:32,200
Yeah.

147
00:07:32,460 --> 00:07:39,020
So I think it's, I just think it says, first of all, I think he's doing an awful disservice to his, to his daughters.

148
00:07:39,680 --> 00:07:51,940
And it's also just one of those things that when you, when people package what I see that as somebody who is packaging their unwillingness to do what's difficult as a strategy.

149
00:07:52,420 --> 00:07:52,640
Right.

150
00:07:52,760 --> 00:07:56,620
Oh no, no, this is, I'm, I want her to be like this.

151
00:07:56,780 --> 00:07:57,400
This is my plan.

152
00:07:57,440 --> 00:08:05,580
You're not smart enough and disciplined enough to put guardrails around your daughter so that they can be respectful and kind and not push over.

153
00:08:05,800 --> 00:08:08,360
I believe he made that up at that moment.

154
00:08:08,360 --> 00:08:08,760
Yeah.

155
00:08:08,880 --> 00:08:10,620
Cause that doesn't make any sense.

156
00:08:10,680 --> 00:08:11,260
He was embarrassed.

157
00:08:11,500 --> 00:08:13,040
It makes no sense at all.

158
00:08:13,240 --> 00:08:14,140
No, that was a lie.

159
00:08:14,140 --> 00:08:15,840
You made that up because you got embarrassed.

160
00:08:16,100 --> 00:08:16,280
Right.

161
00:08:16,380 --> 00:08:24,160
First of all, if you're worried about your daughters, you generally put them into like karate or some kind of self defense so they can, you know, they don't have to work.

162
00:08:24,220 --> 00:08:25,300
They can fight themselves off.

163
00:08:25,400 --> 00:08:29,480
And then the smarter they are, the quicker they're going to realize, oh, that's a creep.

164
00:08:29,620 --> 00:08:30,500
I need, you know what I mean?

165
00:08:30,660 --> 00:08:30,860
Yeah.

166
00:08:30,860 --> 00:08:43,020
And ultimately what that comes down to it also, there's a little bit of, you would think a new agey Hollywood type is going to be thinking about karma that if they're putting that out into the world growing up, when are they going to get back?

167
00:08:43,020 --> 00:08:48,240
I'm going to assume that his wife does not have the same response to that question.

168
00:08:48,360 --> 00:08:51,720
I got embarrassed and he thought, oh, we look like animals.

169
00:08:52,080 --> 00:08:52,480
Yeah.

170
00:08:52,620 --> 00:08:53,560
I better come up with something.

171
00:08:53,660 --> 00:08:56,680
Oh, I'm going to, I'm training them for a boss.

172
00:08:56,780 --> 00:08:58,020
That's a little bit creepy.

173
00:08:58,200 --> 00:08:58,420
Yeah.

174
00:08:58,580 --> 00:08:58,920
Yeah.

175
00:08:59,200 --> 00:09:02,420
So Dax, weak T dude.

176
00:09:02,680 --> 00:09:04,300
You can be better.

177
00:09:04,440 --> 00:09:06,640
Better than your acting, better than your movies.

178
00:09:07,160 --> 00:09:08,720
We ask you to be better.

179
00:09:09,040 --> 00:09:10,840
Whatever they come up with chips to.

180
00:09:11,580 --> 00:09:12,380
And they will.

181
00:09:12,900 --> 00:09:13,900
And they will.

182
00:09:14,600 --> 00:09:16,620
So we're decks, um, fans.

183
00:09:16,920 --> 00:09:17,400
Yeah.

184
00:09:17,440 --> 00:09:18,460
I've Kristen, Kristen.

185
00:09:18,640 --> 00:09:19,620
I never really think of him.

186
00:09:19,820 --> 00:09:20,920
She's like, I love her.

187
00:09:21,020 --> 00:09:21,660
The good place.

188
00:09:21,720 --> 00:09:22,640
One of my favorite shows.

189
00:09:22,840 --> 00:09:23,620
A very funny.

190
00:09:23,780 --> 00:09:24,940
She's super funny.

191
00:09:25,260 --> 00:09:25,480
Yeah.

192
00:09:25,540 --> 00:09:26,960
So anyway, so that was it.

193
00:09:26,980 --> 00:09:32,100
So the article again, if you want to read something stupid is cafe, mom.com.

194
00:09:32,180 --> 00:09:32,680
Dax records.

195
00:09:32,980 --> 00:09:38,120
Tax Shepherd says he's raising and entitled and disrespectful kids.

196
00:09:38,220 --> 00:09:40,260
So thumbs up.

197
00:09:40,260 --> 00:09:45,320
That is such a lame response because it's like, you know, you're not doing that.

198
00:09:45,720 --> 00:09:47,740
You're letting them do it because you don't want a parent.

199
00:09:47,860 --> 00:09:48,280
You're lazy.

200
00:09:48,460 --> 00:09:49,020
You're lazy.

201
00:09:49,300 --> 00:09:49,400
Yeah.

202
00:09:49,520 --> 00:09:50,560
You don't want to do the hard work.

203
00:09:50,780 --> 00:10:10,640
That was the other article I was thinking about talking about was it's another one on screens and it's, but surprising statistics again, under two, 40% of parents of kids that are under two say that their kid is getting at least an hour of screen time a day.

204
00:10:12,280 --> 00:10:20,360
And all of the, like all of the literature, all the studies, all the behavioral stuff is none, none.

205
00:10:20,560 --> 00:10:22,180
They should have none of that.

206
00:10:22,540 --> 00:10:24,620
But I figured that was even worse.

207
00:10:24,740 --> 00:10:27,000
They're just getting ready for a bad, creepy boss.

208
00:10:27,080 --> 00:10:27,780
That's right.

209
00:10:27,860 --> 00:10:28,600
That's why they're watching.

210
00:10:29,540 --> 00:10:30,020
Yeah.

211
00:10:30,300 --> 00:10:33,080
We planned it for the parents of the year.

212
00:10:33,080 --> 00:10:34,200
Property brothers.

213
00:10:34,340 --> 00:10:36,640
Cause by the time they're 13, they'll be able to do our kitchen.

214
00:10:38,400 --> 00:10:39,160
Come on.

215
00:10:39,360 --> 00:10:41,780
That's what we're saying is you need to listen to this podcast.

216
00:10:42,100 --> 00:10:42,500
Yes.

217
00:10:42,840 --> 00:10:44,360
And we can teach you guys something.

218
00:10:44,480 --> 00:10:44,740
Yeah.

219
00:10:44,960 --> 00:10:46,260
And the beautiful bell.

220
00:10:46,380 --> 00:10:47,580
He's all buff now.

221
00:10:47,580 --> 00:10:47,980
He's buff.

222
00:10:48,080 --> 00:10:49,180
So he probably kicked my ass.

223
00:10:49,400 --> 00:10:50,320
Oh, I'm sure he's.

224
00:10:50,360 --> 00:10:51,040
Yeah, he'll, yeah.

225
00:10:52,940 --> 00:10:58,240
You guys mean nothing to me and my daughters will beat you up because they're buff as well.

226
00:10:58,300 --> 00:10:58,900
I'll tell you right now.

227
00:10:58,920 --> 00:11:00,460
His daughters will work for my daughter.

228
00:11:00,920 --> 00:11:01,260
Right.

229
00:11:02,220 --> 00:11:02,740
That's right.

230
00:11:02,740 --> 00:11:04,320
Your daughter will fire them at one point.

231
00:11:04,460 --> 00:11:04,940
At one point.

232
00:11:05,980 --> 00:11:06,260
Yeah.

233
00:11:06,440 --> 00:11:06,840
Sorry.

234
00:11:07,060 --> 00:11:07,360
Oh, that's good.

235
00:11:07,380 --> 00:11:08,900
My daddy was smarter than your daddy.

236
00:11:08,980 --> 00:11:09,340
That's right.

237
00:11:09,520 --> 00:11:11,880
So good job, Dex.

238
00:11:11,980 --> 00:11:12,980
Anyways, good job, Dex.

239
00:11:13,860 --> 00:11:15,680
Don't miss any of the fun.

242
00:11:25,260 --> 00:11:29,220
Instead of calling this what just happened, it should be called a lot has happened.

243
00:11:29,260 --> 00:11:29,760
A lot has happened.

244
00:11:29,780 --> 00:11:31,140
Cause all the time in between.

245
00:11:31,140 --> 00:11:31,480
Yeah.

246
00:11:32,120 --> 00:11:36,320
But here we are with what just happened.

247
00:11:38,340 --> 00:11:53,240
So we mentioned right off the bat, like right after we recorded last time, I went into the first and probably most important job of a father, which is to assemble all the crap that comes to the house.

248
00:11:53,360 --> 00:11:55,640
And I assembled the Akadile.

249
00:11:55,860 --> 00:12:03,940
So the Akadile is our choice, which is, I think, a very good choice of one of these, essentially it's a workstation.

250
00:12:04,200 --> 00:12:09,060
It's an adjustable toddler stool for the kitchen.

251
00:12:10,400 --> 00:12:12,560
So it has a couple of adjustable steps.

252
00:12:13,020 --> 00:12:14,620
She can climb up in there herself.

253
00:12:14,800 --> 00:12:17,240
And then you like slide in a little thing so she can't escape.

254
00:12:17,900 --> 00:12:21,060
And she's perfectly at counter height.

255
00:12:21,500 --> 00:12:24,920
And I put that together and that thing has been awesome.

256
00:12:25,360 --> 00:12:27,400
Like she, yeah, she, she loves being in it.

257
00:12:27,720 --> 00:12:31,600
She, every morning when I make breakfast, she helps me make breakfast.

258
00:12:31,600 --> 00:12:33,060
She does her little thing.

259
00:12:33,300 --> 00:12:38,340
She's, she is definitely, I think you can already see she likes being involved.

260
00:12:38,480 --> 00:12:39,500
She enjoys helping.

261
00:12:40,080 --> 00:12:45,920
She will like, I will, I'll be cutting up, I'll cut up a pepper and I'll cut the little seeds out and I'll hand it to her and she'll just hold it.

262
00:12:46,900 --> 00:12:48,080
And then I'm like, okay, throw it away.

263
00:12:48,120 --> 00:12:48,680
I'll take her over.

264
00:12:48,740 --> 00:12:51,480
She throws it away and then I'll put a couple eggs in.

265
00:12:51,640 --> 00:12:51,980
Okay.

266
00:12:52,340 --> 00:12:59,820
I'll give her a fork and she bangs around in there trying to, she doesn't have a good whisking motion yet, but she's, she's getting there.

267
00:12:59,820 --> 00:13:03,780
So that's, uh, that was, that was a great, great purchase.

268
00:13:03,780 --> 00:13:04,480
And we use it.

269
00:13:04,520 --> 00:13:05,660
We use it all the time.

270
00:13:05,660 --> 00:13:08,040
Although it is like another thing you got out.

271
00:13:08,120 --> 00:13:11,340
You got to just navigate around in the kitchen.

272
00:13:11,380 --> 00:13:13,500
Don't you love when you find stuff like that, that changes.

273
00:13:13,720 --> 00:13:16,600
So like for the good, it's like, oh my God, now we can do this.

274
00:13:16,820 --> 00:13:17,900
And now she can see this.

275
00:13:18,020 --> 00:13:19,720
And now she can, things like that.

276
00:13:19,760 --> 00:13:25,980
When you, when you fall into products like that, just change that whole time frame for the better.

277
00:13:26,120 --> 00:13:27,220
Big, big game changer.

278
00:13:27,220 --> 00:13:32,960
And then also then, then you have to also adjust so that she can, Cause I put, I set her up.

279
00:13:33,000 --> 00:13:33,760
I'm like, this is perfect.

280
00:13:33,760 --> 00:13:35,960
And then she's like within inches of the knife.

281
00:13:36,400 --> 00:13:36,960
Oh yeah.

282
00:13:37,040 --> 00:13:37,480
Knives.

283
00:13:37,760 --> 00:13:41,200
Now we have to move these, but yeah, no stuff like that.

284
00:13:41,200 --> 00:13:41,520
Cause yeah.

285
00:13:41,520 --> 00:13:48,220
Anything that keeps her involved and engaged and, and, and, and getting her to experiment and try, try new stuff.

286
00:13:48,320 --> 00:13:49,300
And she likes it.

287
00:13:49,360 --> 00:13:55,340
A lot of times, honestly, like we'll be fixing stuff and she'll just start, like she'll want to eat her breakfast there.

288
00:13:55,340 --> 00:13:56,640
You know, it works.

289
00:13:56,780 --> 00:14:01,520
I think she prefers it to the, to the, the, yeah.

290
00:14:01,580 --> 00:14:02,100
What do you call it?

291
00:14:02,320 --> 00:14:04,880
The, the, we have a parenting podcast.

292
00:14:05,160 --> 00:14:05,500
Yes.

293
00:14:05,680 --> 00:14:08,600
And the high chair, the high chair is escaping.

294
00:14:09,180 --> 00:14:09,440
Yes.

295
00:14:09,760 --> 00:14:10,420
The high chair.

296
00:14:10,500 --> 00:14:11,620
She prefers it to high chair.

297
00:14:11,860 --> 00:14:16,800
The, the big transition that happened early on after we record last time was.

298
00:14:17,420 --> 00:14:22,500
We had talked about how we had weaned her off of nursing at night.

299
00:14:23,000 --> 00:14:25,480
And the sleep training was going very well.

300
00:14:25,640 --> 00:14:26,780
That has continued.

301
00:14:27,100 --> 00:14:29,500
And she's, she's sleeping really well.

302
00:14:29,700 --> 00:14:31,200
Getting to bed easier.

303
00:14:31,620 --> 00:14:32,580
It's super cute now.

304
00:14:32,660 --> 00:14:41,580
Cause this morning she, I hear she wakes up and I hear she gets up and she's like, and she basically asked, she's like, Lala, Lala is water.

305
00:14:42,260 --> 00:14:43,260
What is it?

306
00:14:43,340 --> 00:14:43,820
Lala.

307
00:14:44,420 --> 00:14:44,900
Lala.

308
00:14:45,800 --> 00:14:46,280
Lala.

309
00:14:46,820 --> 00:14:47,300
Lala.

310
00:14:48,780 --> 00:14:49,720
She's Lala.

311
00:14:50,200 --> 00:14:50,660
Kelly good.

312
00:14:50,760 --> 00:14:51,300
Brings her over.

313
00:14:51,300 --> 00:14:52,300
Gives her a glass.

314
00:14:52,400 --> 00:14:54,300
She takes a drink and then she plops.

315
00:14:54,400 --> 00:14:56,560
She just lays back down, goes back to sleep.

316
00:14:56,680 --> 00:14:59,380
But then right after that, and this was ahead of schedule.

317
00:14:59,540 --> 00:15:05,760
I was a little, I was a little concerned because we had set up the goal of by the end of June.

318
00:15:06,480 --> 00:15:08,360
To be done with breastfeeding.

319
00:15:08,940 --> 00:15:09,100
Okay.

320
00:15:09,460 --> 00:15:17,560
And so it was like, you know, crumbling up and I was like, gee, I guess we're not gonna, we might not make that, you know, make that goal.

321
00:15:17,660 --> 00:15:18,980
And Kelly's like, oh no, she's ready.

322
00:15:18,980 --> 00:15:22,140
And by the end of the month, yeah.

323
00:15:22,520 --> 00:15:25,160
So big, big transition there.

324
00:15:25,360 --> 00:15:25,680
Yeah.

325
00:15:26,420 --> 00:15:29,120
It was like, took a little, took a little.

326
00:15:29,420 --> 00:15:30,780
For both, mommy and baby.

327
00:15:31,020 --> 00:15:31,260
Yeah.

328
00:15:31,460 --> 00:15:33,620
But good transition.

329
00:15:33,960 --> 00:15:40,020
It took a little, you know, she was a little like what's going on, but completely within a week.

330
00:15:40,380 --> 00:15:42,980
It was completely a non, non-issue.

331
00:15:43,200 --> 00:15:43,380
Yep.

332
00:15:43,440 --> 00:15:44,820
And we were on to.

333
00:15:44,960 --> 00:15:46,740
We'll never remember that ever again.

334
00:15:46,900 --> 00:15:47,700
Probably not.

335
00:15:47,700 --> 00:15:51,320
I don't know if I was or not, but you won't remember.

336
00:15:51,540 --> 00:15:53,780
No, it's yeah.

337
00:15:53,900 --> 00:15:56,700
So that really was, was great.

338
00:15:56,980 --> 00:15:58,680
Can you see a big change after this?

339
00:15:58,840 --> 00:15:59,600
How long has it been now?

340
00:15:59,980 --> 00:16:02,180
Well, it was, it was by July 1st.

341
00:16:02,180 --> 00:16:02,960
So it's been about a month.

342
00:16:03,140 --> 00:16:03,620
Oh, so, okay.

343
00:16:03,760 --> 00:16:05,580
And I think it's gone well.

344
00:16:05,620 --> 00:16:17,600
Like there's been some ups and downs with, again, she is, she has this natural affinity for fruits and vegetables and low calorie, high water.

345
00:16:17,600 --> 00:16:19,420
Baby, baby, baby.

346
00:16:19,660 --> 00:16:28,500
So I think what we're trying to do lately is make sure she doesn't get that stuff before she gets the protein, right?

347
00:16:28,600 --> 00:16:30,240
Because she'll just fill those.

348
00:16:30,260 --> 00:16:31,160
It'll be like, yeah.

349
00:16:32,940 --> 00:16:34,720
And then she doesn't eat the other stuff, but yeah.

350
00:16:34,740 --> 00:16:37,280
So that, that really went very, very well.

351
00:16:37,540 --> 00:16:37,980
Nice.

352
00:16:38,120 --> 00:16:38,300
Yeah.

353
00:16:38,300 --> 00:16:40,120
Very happy, happy with that.

354
00:16:40,120 --> 00:16:52,000
So we were kind of rolled through that after the, we recorded last time we went to, we ended up going out for a weekend and not for a while, just for a day.

355
00:16:52,120 --> 00:16:57,360
But that weekend we ended up going, taking the boat down to Selvin beach, which was a lot of fun.

356
00:16:57,500 --> 00:16:58,800
I had not been there.

357
00:16:59,560 --> 00:17:01,460
There's a nice, you know, I don't know.

358
00:17:01,500 --> 00:17:02,260
Have you ever go down there?

359
00:17:02,820 --> 00:17:02,940
Yeah.

360
00:17:03,400 --> 00:17:03,760
Lately?

361
00:17:03,900 --> 00:17:04,859
No, but I know.

362
00:17:04,940 --> 00:17:05,040
Yeah.

363
00:17:05,040 --> 00:17:05,660
I know it very well.

364
00:17:05,720 --> 00:17:12,359
So, you know, there's an area, there's kind of two areas on the lake that we have the boat where people anchor up.

365
00:17:12,359 --> 00:17:15,740
There's three mile Bay where it's like the young crazy party people.

366
00:17:15,819 --> 00:17:20,720
And then Selvin beach is a little bit more, the people are still having fun, but it's more family oriented.

367
00:17:21,079 --> 00:17:30,300
So I happened to reach out to a guy who worked for me a long time ago at circuit city in new Hartford, New York, long time ago.

368
00:17:31,200 --> 00:17:33,140
And he lives in Rome.

369
00:17:33,280 --> 00:17:39,400
So he lives on the other end of the lake and I, and he happened to be going out and is familiar.

370
00:17:39,780 --> 00:17:44,320
And I hadn't been down there by boat and to the beach in a long time.

371
00:17:45,480 --> 00:17:47,400
So we just, we're getting there.

372
00:17:47,420 --> 00:17:53,040
And I got on the radio and, and called for him and he was like right in front of me.

373
00:17:53,100 --> 00:17:53,960
I didn't realize it.

374
00:17:54,240 --> 00:17:55,380
He was just pulling in.

375
00:17:55,440 --> 00:18:01,200
So we were able to pull in and tie up with, tie up with him and two other friends.

376
00:18:01,200 --> 00:18:03,400
And then it's kind of like a flotilla build.

377
00:18:03,400 --> 00:18:07,800
So it was like a, a group of like eight or 10 boats all together.

378
00:18:07,940 --> 00:18:09,600
And we just hung out for the afternoon.

379
00:18:09,720 --> 00:18:10,080
It was great.

380
00:18:10,160 --> 00:18:11,740
Did you pair up at one of the restaurants?

381
00:18:11,900 --> 00:18:15,740
I know the casino there has all the, we can point you right up there.

382
00:18:15,800 --> 00:18:23,960
At the end of the day, we went, we took the boat around to the wall and then walked and went and got some, we got up some pizza.

383
00:18:24,160 --> 00:18:24,300
Yeah.

384
00:18:24,540 --> 00:18:24,900
Yeah.

385
00:18:25,060 --> 00:18:27,620
It was nice, but it was a great day as a kid.

386
00:18:27,720 --> 00:18:28,360
Oh really?

387
00:18:28,480 --> 00:18:31,580
As a kid, as a, as a young adult at the pizza shop.

388
00:18:31,660 --> 00:18:31,940
Okay.

389
00:18:31,940 --> 00:18:32,760
So I knew that.

390
00:18:33,060 --> 00:18:33,500
Yeah, it was good.

391
00:18:33,960 --> 00:18:37,640
I would go to the, uh, so if you don't know what we're talking about, it's a little, uh, beach town.

392
00:18:37,980 --> 00:18:38,220
Yeah.

393
00:18:38,460 --> 00:18:39,480
Um, it's about what?

394
00:18:39,580 --> 00:18:40,160
40 minutes.

395
00:18:41,000 --> 00:18:41,180
Not even.

396
00:18:41,380 --> 00:18:41,480
Yeah.

397
00:18:41,680 --> 00:18:45,720
It's about 10 miles long and we live on the Eastern end.

398
00:18:46,000 --> 00:18:48,500
And so at summertime they have a little amusement park there.

399
00:18:48,660 --> 00:18:48,880
Yeah.

400
00:18:48,880 --> 00:18:49,900
It's been around forever.

401
00:18:50,260 --> 00:18:50,440
Yeah.

402
00:18:50,780 --> 00:18:51,940
Um, so, uh, yeah.

403
00:18:52,060 --> 00:18:54,040
Come join us at Sylvan beach.

404
00:18:54,160 --> 00:18:55,780
But, uh, have you been to the casino there?

405
00:18:55,880 --> 00:18:56,100
The newer?

406
00:18:56,640 --> 00:18:57,180
I have not.

407
00:18:57,260 --> 00:18:57,860
Where's the casino?

408
00:18:57,940 --> 00:18:59,380
It's called the lighthouse or something.

409
00:18:59,600 --> 00:19:00,580
Oh, it's right there.

410
00:19:00,720 --> 00:19:00,940
Yeah.

411
00:19:00,940 --> 00:19:02,240
Outdoor bar and a beautiful.

412
00:19:02,580 --> 00:19:02,760
Yeah.

413
00:19:02,760 --> 00:19:03,100
Yeah.

414
00:19:03,180 --> 00:19:04,120
So really cool.

415
00:19:05,320 --> 00:19:20,880
It's like a time capsule where you feel like, honestly, that's one of the things that was nice is you go there and if you were to look around, you spend a day in a place like that in the summer in upstate New York, you'd think that the, we live on a different planet than the one that you see on the news, right?

416
00:19:21,020 --> 00:19:21,660
Everybody's happy.

417
00:19:21,820 --> 00:19:21,940
Right.

418
00:19:23,240 --> 00:19:25,500
It's not like we're all holding hands.

419
00:19:27,280 --> 00:19:28,540
Having a great time.

420
00:19:29,360 --> 00:19:30,400
There's no troubles.

421
00:19:30,900 --> 00:19:36,380
No, especially the absolute, the beaches, the outdoor bars and everybody's kind of doing their life.

422
00:19:36,560 --> 00:19:36,760
Yeah.

423
00:19:36,840 --> 00:19:38,360
I find that all different kinds of people.

424
00:19:38,360 --> 00:19:40,900
I find that to be true everywhere.

425
00:19:41,060 --> 00:19:41,240
Yep.

426
00:19:41,480 --> 00:19:42,440
I think that's everywhere.

427
00:19:42,740 --> 00:19:44,100
And that's what I do for a living.

428
00:19:44,180 --> 00:19:54,300
I travel and we have the same discussions with, yeah, we hear about the horror, but every time we go into the cities now, again, I'm not hanging out downtown, right?

429
00:19:54,500 --> 00:19:58,460
But most of the places are just like what we are doing.

430
00:19:58,580 --> 00:19:58,880
Yeah.

431
00:19:59,280 --> 00:19:59,600
Yeah.

432
00:19:59,680 --> 00:20:00,180
It's crazy.

433
00:20:00,180 --> 00:20:00,580
It is.

434
00:20:00,660 --> 00:20:02,460
No, but it was really nice.

435
00:20:02,620 --> 00:20:08,100
The only downside of the whole day, and it's not really a downside, it was actually pretty funny.

436
00:20:08,840 --> 00:20:11,680
So we're in the water, we're hanging out, we're all anchored together.

437
00:20:11,800 --> 00:20:14,620
There's a couple of nice couples we got to meet through my friend.

438
00:20:16,000 --> 00:20:29,380
And the end of the boat has, there's a little swim platform and there's like a railing, but it's like a, almost like a U shaped upside down U pole.

439
00:20:29,460 --> 00:20:29,720
Okay.

440
00:20:29,880 --> 00:20:30,000
Yeah.

441
00:20:30,000 --> 00:20:30,180
Right.

442
00:20:30,260 --> 00:20:32,000
So it's just, you grab it when you're getting on and off the boat.

443
00:20:32,920 --> 00:20:37,840
Well, it's like the height of the, it's like just a little bit taller than the baby.

444
00:20:38,020 --> 00:20:38,280
Okay.

445
00:20:38,460 --> 00:20:47,640
So baby Josie's in her little swimsuit and she's standing there and she's holding on to it and she's dancing, like there's music playing and she's dancing.

446
00:20:47,980 --> 00:20:57,620
And I hear one of the people that we're with say something along the lines of, oh, he better like, basically like, I should be worried.

447
00:20:58,280 --> 00:20:58,560
Okay.

448
00:20:58,560 --> 00:21:07,340
And then I look at it, of course, then I immediately make the connection that my lovely wife does not, which is, it looks like a stripper pole.

449
00:21:07,920 --> 00:21:09,500
It's a baby size stripper pole.

450
00:21:09,500 --> 00:21:10,060
Oh my God.

451
00:21:10,120 --> 00:21:11,160
And she's dancing with the music.

452
00:21:11,280 --> 00:21:12,680
She's holding on to it, dancing.

453
00:21:12,800 --> 00:21:13,920
And I'm like, oh no.

454
00:21:14,160 --> 00:21:15,120
That's hilarious.

455
00:21:15,420 --> 00:21:19,320
I turned around, I'm like, trust me.

456
00:21:19,920 --> 00:21:22,600
Dude, that story went so different than I thought.

457
00:21:22,900 --> 00:21:25,760
I was like, she was in danger because the thing was going to fall.

458
00:21:26,700 --> 00:21:27,440
That's hilarious.

459
00:21:27,440 --> 00:21:33,500
I also have to show you, maybe I'll put up a picture with her face right now, but yeah, she's got her cute little, you know, swimming costume on.

460
00:21:33,500 --> 00:21:34,320
Oh my God, training.

461
00:21:34,620 --> 00:21:35,580
No, get to stop.

462
00:21:35,580 --> 00:21:36,780
And I'm like, there will be none of that.

463
00:21:37,040 --> 00:21:38,340
What would Dex Shepard do?

464
00:21:38,560 --> 00:21:39,640
He would allow that.

465
00:21:39,780 --> 00:21:40,740
He would allow it.

466
00:21:40,800 --> 00:21:42,800
Yes, he would encourage.

467
00:21:43,680 --> 00:21:44,620
That's so funny.

468
00:21:44,740 --> 00:21:46,660
He could get her away from the pole with music.

469
00:21:46,720 --> 00:21:48,000
You got to keep her off the pole.

470
00:21:48,020 --> 00:21:48,500
And she's dancing.

471
00:21:48,720 --> 00:21:49,620
She was having a great time.

472
00:21:49,620 --> 00:21:50,540
How cute though, oh, come on.

473
00:21:50,540 --> 00:21:51,040
It was adorable.

474
00:21:51,460 --> 00:21:52,060
It was adorable.

475
00:21:52,660 --> 00:21:55,340
Actually, it was a fun discovery on the way home.

476
00:21:56,180 --> 00:21:58,740
So she loved 80s music, metal.

477
00:21:59,060 --> 00:22:00,000
She loves all kinds of music.

478
00:22:00,200 --> 00:22:01,580
Well, this is, it's about music actually.

479
00:22:01,660 --> 00:22:05,280
So on the way home, we're listening to music on the way home.

480
00:22:05,280 --> 00:22:09,040
And it's like, you know, because you're on the other end of the lake, it's maybe a 30 minute ride.

481
00:22:11,120 --> 00:22:14,540
And I listened to lots of, and I have played for her over the time.

482
00:22:14,660 --> 00:22:15,740
Lots of Louie Prima.

483
00:22:16,040 --> 00:22:16,380
Oh yeah.

484
00:22:17,180 --> 00:22:19,260
But she has been doing this thing.

485
00:22:19,260 --> 00:22:30,560
She had been doing this thing for weeks where she would go, she would go, and somehow Kelly got in the, in her head that she was yodeling.

486
00:22:30,760 --> 00:22:32,000
Like she was making a yodeling sound.

487
00:22:32,180 --> 00:22:43,360
So anytime she said, Lulu, Lulu, Lulu, she would play the Lonely Goat Herd from, from, it's a song from the Sound of Music.

488
00:22:43,600 --> 00:22:44,020
Okay.

489
00:22:44,120 --> 00:22:44,720
Where they yodel.

490
00:22:45,200 --> 00:22:45,680
Oh, I remember.

491
00:22:45,760 --> 00:22:47,000
So I heard this a lot.

492
00:22:47,380 --> 00:22:49,980
And after a while, I'm like, can we play something else?

493
00:22:50,000 --> 00:22:51,580
She's like, well, she asks for it.

494
00:22:51,620 --> 00:22:54,240
She says, she asks for it.

495
00:22:54,240 --> 00:22:56,020
She also says la la for water.

496
00:22:56,520 --> 00:22:56,620
Right.

497
00:22:56,760 --> 00:22:58,560
So, but then we're right.

498
00:22:58,720 --> 00:23:00,980
And a song that I would play for her.

499
00:23:01,140 --> 00:23:07,460
It was part of her playlist, which is a Louie Prima song, which is nothing too, nothing's too good for my baby.

500
00:23:07,880 --> 00:23:12,880
And he harmonizes with Keely Smith and they go, Lulu, Lulu, Lulu, Lulu.

501
00:23:13,220 --> 00:23:15,100
That wins, that wins.

502
00:23:15,340 --> 00:23:16,000
And we play it.

503
00:23:16,000 --> 00:23:19,780
And as soon as it came on, when we were listening, she goes, Lulu, Lulu, Lulu.

504
00:23:19,780 --> 00:23:24,440
She was asking for Prima, not the Lonely Goat Herd.

505
00:23:24,600 --> 00:23:25,400
That's hilarious.

506
00:23:25,580 --> 00:23:27,640
So I was, so now, and she loves that.

507
00:23:27,760 --> 00:23:28,900
Like now she asks for it all the time.

508
00:23:28,900 --> 00:23:29,500
How cute.

509
00:23:29,760 --> 00:23:29,960
Yep.

510
00:23:30,040 --> 00:23:31,120
So that was kind of fun.

511
00:23:31,200 --> 00:23:34,340
On the way home, we discovered that it wasn't the Lonely Goat Herd.

512
00:23:34,480 --> 00:23:35,100
That's funny.

513
00:23:35,520 --> 00:23:36,540
It was Louie Prima.

514
00:23:37,280 --> 00:23:38,140
So there was that.

515
00:23:38,260 --> 00:23:39,580
Then I think it was that weekend.

516
00:23:39,580 --> 00:23:40,940
We went and got the kiddie pool.

517
00:23:41,080 --> 00:23:41,640
We went to Costco.

518
00:23:41,660 --> 00:23:43,240
Yeah, what is this kiddie pool you speak of?

519
00:23:43,240 --> 00:23:44,360
We got a little kiddie pool.

520
00:23:44,760 --> 00:23:51,220
Now, just a little, I've been trying to get a pool in this man's backyard for, 15 years, 10 years?

521
00:23:51,380 --> 00:23:52,580
It's like the second house.

522
00:23:52,760 --> 00:23:54,080
It was the last house.

523
00:23:54,360 --> 00:23:56,020
You know what would be great here?

524
00:23:56,420 --> 00:23:58,260
Let's not worry about the boat as much.

525
00:23:58,360 --> 00:23:59,060
Let's get a pool.

526
00:23:59,060 --> 00:24:00,040
Focus on a pool.

527
00:24:00,240 --> 00:24:01,380
I almost had him one time.

528
00:24:01,500 --> 00:24:03,280
Yeah, you had me close a couple of times.

529
00:24:03,420 --> 00:24:04,000
I'm still not done.

530
00:24:04,140 --> 00:24:11,080
It's, honestly, so well, you know, she likes, we had the water play table that she loves.

531
00:24:11,160 --> 00:24:12,180
She clearly loves water.

532
00:24:13,140 --> 00:24:17,040
And so we're like, oh, you know, maybe we'll get a kiddie pool.

533
00:24:17,040 --> 00:24:18,540
We went to Costco.

534
00:24:18,980 --> 00:24:25,460
And of course, there's the one I wanted to get, which was like 15 by 15 with an eight foot dragon and a slide.

535
00:24:25,560 --> 00:24:26,720
I'm like, there it is.

536
00:24:26,860 --> 00:24:29,440
Like, we got to get- Carlo and the baby will be so happy.

537
00:24:29,800 --> 00:24:31,800
And of course, Kelly's like, it says three and up.

538
00:24:31,900 --> 00:24:33,260
She's not, oh, okay.

539
00:24:33,720 --> 00:24:36,880
So they had a little boring rectangular one.

540
00:24:37,700 --> 00:24:41,000
So we got one of those and, you know, filled it up.

541
00:24:41,100 --> 00:24:41,760
And we had it in the back.

542
00:24:41,780 --> 00:24:42,380
She loves it.

543
00:24:42,520 --> 00:24:43,480
We did the same thing.

544
00:24:43,640 --> 00:24:45,160
Yeah, she was having, she has a great time.

545
00:24:45,820 --> 00:24:48,900
Like, she would cry when we take her out.

546
00:24:49,060 --> 00:24:50,740
Like, she just wanted to stay in and play around.

547
00:24:50,980 --> 00:24:53,200
It had a little seat so she could kind of sit in the water.

548
00:24:53,780 --> 00:24:55,840
But she was having a good time with that.

549
00:24:55,920 --> 00:24:57,800
She definitely likes the water.

550
00:24:57,980 --> 00:25:03,720
Unfortunately, Rumpel also really likes, Rumpel like jumps in, drinks from it.

551
00:25:03,960 --> 00:25:14,360
But she really, she likes that stuff and really spent a lot of time those first couple weeks whenever she could get in there, whenever we'd let her get into the kiddie pool.

552
00:25:14,360 --> 00:25:15,580
She was in there.

553
00:25:15,580 --> 00:25:15,940
Take advantage of it.

554
00:25:16,020 --> 00:25:19,880
She continued through, sleeping through the night, which was nice.

555
00:25:20,400 --> 00:25:26,340
And that's been like a huge change for both of us, particularly for Kelly.

556
00:25:26,480 --> 00:25:27,580
I think she's really grown to...

557
00:25:27,580 --> 00:25:30,100
I was going to say, Kelly, that's a whole different...

558
00:25:30,100 --> 00:25:31,040
Huge difference.

559
00:25:31,200 --> 00:25:36,300
I mean, for her, it's a lot because now it's just like straight through, like 10-hour stretch.

560
00:25:36,460 --> 00:25:37,000
She's sleeping.

561
00:25:37,340 --> 00:25:42,720
It's one of those moments we spoke up before I have that you're in that moment going, this will never change.

562
00:25:42,780 --> 00:25:43,820
I'll never be back to me.

563
00:25:43,820 --> 00:25:47,280
And then all of a sudden you are and go, oh, I remember this.

564
00:25:47,400 --> 00:25:47,720
Yeah, I remember.

565
00:25:48,160 --> 00:25:50,620
Things can go back to normal as much as normal could be.

566
00:25:50,780 --> 00:25:51,860
I was never complaining.

567
00:25:52,020 --> 00:25:53,300
Like I felt like I was doing okay.

568
00:25:53,620 --> 00:25:55,900
But now all of a sudden it's like, now I dream again.

569
00:25:56,200 --> 00:25:57,280
Like I remember my dream.

570
00:25:57,360 --> 00:25:58,860
I wake up and I'm like, yeah, weird dream.

571
00:25:59,060 --> 00:26:00,400
I haven't had a dream in six months.

572
00:26:00,520 --> 00:26:00,800
I know.

573
00:26:01,140 --> 00:26:03,600
So yeah, so that was nice.

574
00:26:04,360 --> 00:26:11,460
So then we roll into our normal, what it would have been, I guess a 16-month visit.

575
00:26:11,700 --> 00:26:11,960
Okay.

576
00:26:12,420 --> 00:26:14,420
So went in for that.

577
00:26:14,720 --> 00:26:19,440
And the way it works at Summerwood, as you probably recall, they get you in.

578
00:26:19,720 --> 00:26:25,040
There's always like a triage nurse goes in height and weight and head circumference.

579
00:26:25,820 --> 00:26:34,740
And we were hopeful because we had some challenges with she's always been like 75th to 85th percentile for height, very tall.

580
00:26:35,420 --> 00:26:44,000
But she's been teetering around like the bottom, like below where she should be on the curve for weight.

581
00:26:45,080 --> 00:26:50,840
So a couple of times they've, you know, tried to, you know, coach us on how to get more calories into her and stuff.

582
00:26:51,360 --> 00:27:00,360
But I just think like she is not, it is a tight, like she's lean, and like it doesn't take much.

583
00:27:00,360 --> 00:27:05,900
A couple of days you can start to see she's a little skinnier than she should be.

584
00:27:06,300 --> 00:27:08,940
But she's just lean and tall.

585
00:27:09,660 --> 00:27:13,280
So I've always been more like she seems pretty healthy to me, right?

586
00:27:13,380 --> 00:27:19,860
Not to get too personal, but mother and aunt are not the biggest people in the world when I first met them.

587
00:27:20,140 --> 00:27:21,360
She's one of four siblings.

588
00:27:21,940 --> 00:27:27,840
They were all, when they were little, 90th percentile for height and 10th percentile for weight.

589
00:27:28,060 --> 00:27:28,160
Surprise.

590
00:27:28,940 --> 00:27:34,140
So if she is like her mom, and I think she is, that's it, right?

591
00:27:34,520 --> 00:27:40,240
So she got like, she got the best option from her mom, which is tall and thin.

592
00:27:40,520 --> 00:27:43,160
And for me, she got stubby legs and a long torso.

593
00:27:44,140 --> 00:27:45,060
So, you know.

594
00:27:45,220 --> 00:27:48,200
She's going to be a guitarist and she's going to make a podcast.

595
00:27:48,320 --> 00:27:49,460
She will.

596
00:27:49,820 --> 00:27:52,340
I'm not saying singer because Kelly also is a singer.

597
00:27:52,400 --> 00:27:54,060
Yeah, she is a good singer.

598
00:27:54,060 --> 00:28:02,840
So we go in and the girl takes her height, measures her height, and she's not in a good mood.

599
00:28:02,900 --> 00:28:03,920
It was an afternoon appointment.

600
00:28:04,120 --> 00:28:04,640
The baby's not?

601
00:28:04,760 --> 00:28:05,020
Yeah.

602
00:28:05,720 --> 00:28:09,260
And so she's not really cooperating very well.

603
00:28:09,360 --> 00:28:13,820
We get a weight and she's like, well, she's 55th percentile for height.

604
00:28:14,500 --> 00:28:18,620
And we're like, you know, Kelly and I look at each other like, what happened?

605
00:28:18,760 --> 00:28:19,440
How could this be?

606
00:28:19,440 --> 00:28:24,840
She's literally in, she's 16 months old and she's in 2T clothes.

607
00:28:25,280 --> 00:28:27,620
So we're like, how is she 55th percentile?

608
00:28:28,260 --> 00:28:34,600
And then she said something about her, her head circumference measurement was smaller.

609
00:28:35,420 --> 00:28:37,660
And I'm like, okay, this has got to be all wrong.

610
00:28:38,640 --> 00:28:40,780
But so we go, you know, so we go in.

611
00:28:40,820 --> 00:28:41,980
This is not your baby?

612
00:28:42,560 --> 00:28:44,100
I'm pretty sure it's still her.

613
00:28:44,840 --> 00:28:52,340
So we're confused, but we're mostly worried about like, and then she said the weight gain wasn't as much as we would have liked to have heard.

614
00:28:52,580 --> 00:28:52,680
Okay, but that could happen.

615
00:28:52,680 --> 00:28:53,920
But she didn't tell us the percentile.

616
00:28:54,100 --> 00:28:54,560
That could be.

617
00:28:54,640 --> 00:28:55,420
They say that all the time.

618
00:28:55,460 --> 00:28:57,800
She had just had a big diaper, big diaper.

619
00:28:58,040 --> 00:28:59,520
That's what I was like, she just had a, come on.

620
00:28:59,540 --> 00:28:59,780
A withdrawal.

621
00:29:00,220 --> 00:29:00,480
Right.

622
00:29:00,860 --> 00:29:17,720
So, you know, we go in and, of course, then the PA looks at the file, comes in and says, well, you know, it looks like she's, you know, she's shifted a lot and she's looking at the graphs and all of a sudden there's this like downturn.

623
00:29:17,720 --> 00:29:20,300
Fifty-five and then smaller circumference.

624
00:29:20,560 --> 00:29:23,560
Then she's looking at her and she's like, but she looks really long.

625
00:29:23,640 --> 00:29:24,660
And she's really tall.

626
00:29:25,120 --> 00:29:25,340
Yeah.

627
00:29:25,500 --> 00:29:26,760
And so we measure her again.

628
00:29:26,860 --> 00:29:27,840
No, 80th percentile.

629
00:29:27,840 --> 00:29:28,240
Shut up.

630
00:29:28,400 --> 00:29:28,580
Yeah.

631
00:29:28,820 --> 00:29:33,380
So she's measured her wrong and did the head circumference, same thing.

632
00:29:33,700 --> 00:29:36,060
But the weight was a little bit.

633
00:29:36,140 --> 00:29:41,660
She again, for the second time, ticked below, below the line.

634
00:29:42,320 --> 00:29:42,860
But I'm like.

635
00:29:43,140 --> 00:29:43,620
We're good.

636
00:29:43,620 --> 00:29:48,960
I keep and she's like, well, you know, maybe we should try this or that.

637
00:29:49,040 --> 00:29:50,780
We want to see you again in two weeks.

638
00:29:50,940 --> 00:29:52,880
Like we're going to like we're starving our kids.

639
00:29:53,040 --> 00:29:55,580
We couldn't put weight on Natali, my son.

640
00:29:55,740 --> 00:29:56,400
We couldn't put weight.

641
00:29:56,580 --> 00:29:59,520
People are like, oh, I mean, everything we tried.

642
00:29:59,560 --> 00:30:01,300
It was like he was all just skinny and lose weight.

643
00:30:01,600 --> 00:30:02,700
And it's fine now.

644
00:30:02,800 --> 00:30:04,180
He wishes those days.

645
00:30:04,640 --> 00:30:05,040
Yeah.

646
00:30:05,280 --> 00:30:05,680
Wishes.

647
00:30:05,960 --> 00:30:06,200
Yeah.

648
00:30:06,460 --> 00:30:07,900
I mean, it's just no.

649
00:30:08,020 --> 00:30:08,820
Again, they're doctors.

650
00:30:08,980 --> 00:30:09,940
They got numbers.

651
00:30:10,300 --> 00:30:12,300
Oh, looks like this is down here and this is up.

652
00:30:12,300 --> 00:30:15,640
So at that point, I'm just like, OK, look, we'll try whatever.

653
00:30:16,140 --> 00:30:16,260
Right.

654
00:30:16,320 --> 00:30:17,800
Like she's never more.

655
00:30:18,720 --> 00:30:20,980
We came home and she's like she likes butter.

656
00:30:21,140 --> 00:30:21,640
I'm like here.

657
00:30:22,800 --> 00:30:26,300
She's like she's eating it like it's like it's tofu.

658
00:30:26,400 --> 00:30:27,480
Oh, it's here.

659
00:30:27,860 --> 00:30:28,640
Love butter.

660
00:30:28,840 --> 00:30:29,420
Like whatever.

661
00:30:29,600 --> 00:30:31,860
Like if that's what it's going to take, I don't mind.

662
00:30:32,080 --> 00:30:32,940
But she isn't.

663
00:30:33,100 --> 00:30:34,360
She doesn't go for sugar.

664
00:30:34,500 --> 00:30:35,460
She doesn't go for sweet.

665
00:30:35,820 --> 00:30:36,980
She goes for fruits.

666
00:30:37,100 --> 00:30:41,520
You can tell the weight is because of how obviously how she eats and what she likes.

667
00:30:41,520 --> 00:30:42,080
Yes.

668
00:30:42,240 --> 00:30:43,700
She's getting full on fruits.

669
00:30:43,900 --> 00:30:44,180
Yeah.

670
00:30:44,180 --> 00:30:45,840
She's getting full on water rich.

671
00:30:46,080 --> 00:30:46,440
Right.

672
00:30:46,780 --> 00:30:47,760
Foods, basically.

673
00:30:48,120 --> 00:30:50,580
So, you know, so I'm not super worried.

674
00:30:50,660 --> 00:30:52,680
But of course, you know, we want to pay attention to it.

675
00:30:52,700 --> 00:31:00,180
So when we got out of there, we figured, OK, we'll try some new strategies and try to juice things up and increase the calorie intake.

676
00:31:00,280 --> 00:31:02,480
But the whole thing of, yeah, her head shrunk.

677
00:31:02,560 --> 00:31:03,640
I'm like, come on, lady.

678
00:31:04,140 --> 00:31:07,260
She's really bad with the dwarf now.

679
00:31:07,340 --> 00:31:08,320
Yeah, like, come on.

680
00:31:08,620 --> 00:31:09,520
And then we had to.

681
00:31:09,600 --> 00:31:11,200
So we were going to go back in two weeks.

682
00:31:11,520 --> 00:31:15,380
Because they want to see you again to make sure that it's not some kind of a weird trend.

683
00:31:15,880 --> 00:31:21,800
But it was also right around this time that all of a sudden she became very interested in jewelry.

684
00:31:22,080 --> 00:31:22,800
Excuse me?

685
00:31:23,280 --> 00:31:23,480
Jewelry.

686
00:31:23,760 --> 00:31:24,620
Oh, God, you're in trouble.

687
00:31:24,860 --> 00:31:25,600
No kidding.

688
00:31:26,080 --> 00:31:36,540
Because I have I have a sister who has the kind of collection that belongs in an Egyptian museum of of all kinds of jewelry, huge jewelry girl.

689
00:31:37,100 --> 00:31:42,320
So and she's been just waiting for some child to share a lot of jewelry.

690
00:31:43,360 --> 00:31:50,780
So all of a sudden, like every morning, I'm, you know, I'm having my coffee and I'm on my computer and the baby wakes up.

691
00:31:51,160 --> 00:31:56,360
Kelly comes out and she's got, you know, Kelly just found some old costume jewelry.

692
00:31:56,480 --> 00:31:57,060
So good.

693
00:31:57,140 --> 00:31:58,480
So she's got necklaces on.

694
00:31:58,520 --> 00:32:00,060
It's like with a baby with jewelry.

695
00:32:00,360 --> 00:32:01,820
She looks like Mr. T.

696
00:32:01,960 --> 00:32:02,680
That's so good.

697
00:32:02,840 --> 00:32:03,980
Five chains.

698
00:32:04,080 --> 00:32:04,680
That's so good.

699
00:32:04,680 --> 00:32:08,360
But she's like and she and she's literally she wakes up in the morning.

700
00:32:08,460 --> 00:32:09,260
She's like necklace.

701
00:32:09,440 --> 00:32:10,480
I need a photo of this.

702
00:32:10,620 --> 00:32:12,860
Oh, I'm sure all her stuff.

703
00:32:12,980 --> 00:32:13,640
I need photos.

704
00:32:14,040 --> 00:32:15,040
So, yeah.

705
00:32:15,120 --> 00:32:18,180
So all of a sudden that has become a real thing.

706
00:32:18,180 --> 00:32:18,660
Wow.

707
00:32:18,740 --> 00:32:23,140
And then because there's the interest, then we show up, we go to mass.

708
00:32:23,160 --> 00:32:28,940
And my sister, who is very interested in jewelry, is always wearing jewelry.

709
00:32:29,420 --> 00:32:31,320
Now she sees there's an opening.

710
00:32:31,540 --> 00:32:33,700
So now she's bringing jewelry.

711
00:32:34,360 --> 00:32:35,340
She's a dealer.

712
00:32:35,420 --> 00:32:36,540
She's a dealer now.

713
00:32:37,320 --> 00:32:37,800
Exactly.

714
00:32:38,360 --> 00:32:42,920
And now little baby Josie is literally like, I like that.

715
00:32:43,060 --> 00:32:44,260
Like she's like ring.

716
00:32:44,800 --> 00:32:45,780
That's a bracelet.

717
00:32:46,080 --> 00:32:49,600
Like she's taking the clarity of this doesn't want to give it doesn't want to give it back.

718
00:32:49,980 --> 00:32:51,940
So she's like, well, she can.

719
00:32:52,040 --> 00:32:57,160
I'm like, no, you can't like you can't start letting her take the jewelry off of you.

720
00:32:57,280 --> 00:32:58,820
This this is how it starts.

721
00:32:59,020 --> 00:33:01,780
I it's just it's like out of nowhere.

722
00:33:02,320 --> 00:33:03,440
It's like I like jewelry.

723
00:33:04,260 --> 00:33:05,560
And it is.

724
00:33:05,580 --> 00:33:13,680
I mean, interested, but honestly, it started with some there's some toy like a stackable toy that was like squares with circles cut in the middle.

725
00:33:13,860 --> 00:33:15,580
And she would just put them on like bracelets.

726
00:33:16,540 --> 00:33:17,460
So, yeah.

727
00:33:17,600 --> 00:33:20,800
So all of the like these things that just appear.

728
00:33:21,060 --> 00:33:22,340
That's in her behavior.

729
00:33:22,420 --> 00:33:22,800
So, yeah.

730
00:33:22,800 --> 00:33:26,080
All of a sudden she's very, very into jewelry.

731
00:33:26,340 --> 00:33:29,940
So by now it's like, you know, we're into Fourth of July weekend.

732
00:33:30,120 --> 00:33:30,600
Fourth of July.

733
00:33:30,600 --> 00:33:35,220
And we really we weren't sure what we were going to do.

734
00:33:35,220 --> 00:33:40,500
But we know there's a really nice fireworks display in Brewerton right at the lake.

735
00:33:40,640 --> 00:33:51,780
And where we keep the boat is literally like our slip is the perfect spot is literally you can just sit on the back of the boat and literally right there is this great fireworks display.

736
00:33:52,180 --> 00:33:54,300
So we thought, OK, well, maybe what we'll do.

737
00:33:54,400 --> 00:34:02,380
The problem is it's when you when you're there after the fireworks, there's so much traffic, so many people come.

738
00:34:03,080 --> 00:34:06,640
You're like, it takes you three hours to get home and we're 10 minutes away.

739
00:34:07,520 --> 00:34:09,960
So we're like, you know, we'll just stay on the boat.

740
00:34:11,239 --> 00:34:14,540
Like we'll either either sleep there or we'll stay until like midnight.

741
00:34:14,760 --> 00:34:17,500
And then you make an evening of it because, you know, traffic's going to be worse.

742
00:34:17,600 --> 00:34:17,780
Yeah.

743
00:34:17,840 --> 00:34:21,820
And so so we got some sausages from Spears and peppers and onions.

744
00:34:21,960 --> 00:34:22,600
We'll go out there.

745
00:34:22,639 --> 00:34:23,179
We'll cook dinner.

746
00:34:23,239 --> 00:34:23,760
We'll hang out.

747
00:34:23,780 --> 00:34:25,420
We'll watch the watch the fireworks.

748
00:34:25,580 --> 00:34:26,340
It would be great.

749
00:34:26,340 --> 00:34:30,300
And then, of course, Kelly being very mindful.

750
00:34:30,820 --> 00:34:32,020
Well, it is loud.

751
00:34:32,239 --> 00:34:35,400
So we got a little baby ear protection earmuffs.

752
00:34:35,940 --> 00:34:37,560
So we're all ready to go.

753
00:34:37,840 --> 00:34:39,320
It's getting to be dusk.

754
00:34:40,280 --> 00:34:45,480
And she the baby is like there's already people, you know, setting off fireworks.

755
00:34:45,620 --> 00:34:52,960
And she's like, you know, looking around and then she falls asleep and the fireworks start.

756
00:34:53,840 --> 00:35:02,440
And and at first we're like, well, should we put the put the head and say, well, we'll see the fireworks.

757
00:35:02,600 --> 00:35:03,940
The whole thing goes off.

758
00:35:04,120 --> 00:35:05,900
She's slept through the whole thing.

759
00:35:06,520 --> 00:35:07,700
As loud as it was.

760
00:35:07,860 --> 00:35:09,040
Didn't even wake her up.

761
00:35:09,260 --> 00:35:10,020
I'm going to say something.

762
00:35:10,520 --> 00:35:11,300
You can cut this.

763
00:35:11,780 --> 00:35:13,060
She probably thought it was you sleeping.

764
00:35:14,160 --> 00:35:15,200
You got to remember it.

765
00:35:15,240 --> 00:35:16,260
I don't snore anymore.

766
00:35:16,340 --> 00:35:16,840
I know, I know.

767
00:35:17,020 --> 00:35:17,320
Thanks to the CPAP.

768
00:35:17,340 --> 00:35:19,200
It's just a good joke that I went through.

769
00:35:19,380 --> 00:35:19,920
As you did.

770
00:35:20,120 --> 00:35:21,660
That was before my CPAP.

771
00:35:21,660 --> 00:35:23,720
Okay, back to the story.

772
00:35:24,380 --> 00:35:24,960
But that's funny.

773
00:35:25,300 --> 00:35:25,720
But yes.

774
00:35:26,000 --> 00:35:26,680
No, she yeah.

775
00:35:26,720 --> 00:35:29,060
But she's just like slept right through it, slept right through it.

776
00:35:29,260 --> 00:35:31,300
But it was still we had a nice time.

777
00:35:31,380 --> 00:35:32,660
There were a bunch of people on the dock.

778
00:35:33,040 --> 00:35:41,240
It was the first time in my whole life with anyone that I had ever worn a matching outfit.

779
00:35:41,820 --> 00:35:43,180
I had a matching.

780
00:35:44,140 --> 00:35:45,480
Doesn't it feel so good?

781
00:35:45,660 --> 00:35:46,520
It was so cute.

782
00:35:46,560 --> 00:35:47,260
I used to make fun of them.

783
00:35:47,760 --> 00:35:52,640
It was like she has this little jumper and it's red and white checkered.

784
00:35:52,740 --> 00:35:53,780
It was red and white check.

785
00:35:54,000 --> 00:35:56,140
And it had little Minnie mouses on it.

786
00:35:56,640 --> 00:36:00,000
And then Kelly found me this shirt.

787
00:36:00,080 --> 00:36:01,640
So I look like a giant picnic table.

788
00:36:02,000 --> 00:36:04,580
Red and white, but with little Mickey Mickey mouses.

789
00:36:04,740 --> 00:36:05,380
So I had Mickey.

790
00:36:05,500 --> 00:36:06,060
She had Minnie.

791
00:36:06,720 --> 00:36:08,060
And I'm walking around.

792
00:36:09,340 --> 00:36:10,380
Kelly wasn't in.

793
00:36:10,420 --> 00:36:15,060
Kelly was in a Disney themed 4th of July themed thing.

794
00:36:15,060 --> 00:36:16,620
But she did not match.

795
00:36:16,620 --> 00:36:18,120
Not all three matching would be.

796
00:36:18,320 --> 00:36:19,540
That would be a new level.

797
00:36:19,940 --> 00:36:21,180
That would be something.

798
00:36:21,620 --> 00:36:22,420
But it was fun.

799
00:36:22,500 --> 00:36:23,800
And we're walking up and down the dock.

800
00:36:23,820 --> 00:36:26,300
And everybody went, oh, look at that match.

801
00:36:27,100 --> 00:36:28,600
But yeah, so it was cute.

802
00:36:28,660 --> 00:36:31,240
But it was a really nice, it was a nice 4th of July.

803
00:36:31,900 --> 00:36:36,920
Other than the only thing that I still always don't understand whenever there's stuff like that, especially with boating.

804
00:36:37,780 --> 00:36:41,540
There's a boat across the way in the marina.

805
00:36:41,660 --> 00:36:45,180
So they're like, you know, 30 yards away, 40 yards away.

806
00:36:46,000 --> 00:36:50,040
Four or five people on a big, very, probably a half a million dollar boat.

807
00:36:50,640 --> 00:36:51,440
Very nice boat.

808
00:36:51,880 --> 00:36:55,900
Four or five people playing music so loud.

809
00:36:56,260 --> 00:36:58,520
I can't hear the music on my boat.

810
00:36:59,380 --> 00:36:59,480
Right.

811
00:36:59,880 --> 00:37:05,080
And so loud that they're yelling at each other to hear each other.

812
00:37:05,220 --> 00:37:05,940
What are we doing here?

813
00:37:06,080 --> 00:37:09,820
And I just can't hear it.

814
00:37:10,420 --> 00:37:12,220
And I look at Kelly.

815
00:37:12,220 --> 00:37:21,020
She's always like, I'm like, I just want to walk over there and be like, hey, can you help me understand, like, why, why, what are we doing here?

816
00:37:21,120 --> 00:37:22,320
Why do you want to do that?

817
00:37:22,340 --> 00:37:26,500
Why do you want music on so loud that you can't hear each other?

818
00:37:27,260 --> 00:37:29,240
And I don't, I just don't understand that.

819
00:37:29,440 --> 00:37:32,820
I mean, we all had, we all had loud stereos in our car.

820
00:37:32,820 --> 00:37:34,360
When we were growing up, that was a big thing, right?

821
00:37:34,580 --> 00:37:34,780
Right.

822
00:37:34,820 --> 00:37:36,000
Putting the speakers in our cars.

823
00:37:36,200 --> 00:37:36,980
Yeah, yep.

824
00:37:37,420 --> 00:37:41,320
And I get it a little bit, but was it ever like that?

825
00:37:41,320 --> 00:37:43,600
No, because we used to talk to each other, right?

826
00:37:43,800 --> 00:37:45,680
If you're alone in the car, you played your music loud.

827
00:37:45,920 --> 00:37:53,200
But if you're with people, you're not going to go, hey guys, everybody just, we're going to not hear each other for the next four hours.

828
00:37:53,300 --> 00:37:55,500
I don't want to talk to you, but let's hear Toby Keith.

829
00:37:55,520 --> 00:37:56,440
I never understood that.

830
00:37:57,160 --> 00:38:06,020
It's the same idea of driving down the street and you hear these cars, the radios in your car is clear as if you were playing.

831
00:38:06,200 --> 00:38:07,420
How could you drive?

832
00:38:07,520 --> 00:38:08,760
I couldn't do that.

833
00:38:09,140 --> 00:38:09,920
Everything's shattering.

834
00:38:09,920 --> 00:38:11,040
Everything in the car is going.

835
00:38:12,740 --> 00:38:14,200
The bolts are coming off.

836
00:38:14,560 --> 00:38:15,360
Yeah, I don't understand.

837
00:38:15,500 --> 00:38:16,480
I don't understand.

838
00:38:16,740 --> 00:38:18,040
Boating, you can talk to each other.

839
00:38:18,220 --> 00:38:18,720
And what are you doing?

840
00:38:18,740 --> 00:38:19,680
What else are you doing there?

841
00:38:20,200 --> 00:38:21,500
Unless you're all singing and dancing.

842
00:38:22,800 --> 00:38:24,920
Look, boats, motors are loud.

843
00:38:25,620 --> 00:38:26,780
Right, you have to do extra stuff.

844
00:38:26,780 --> 00:38:28,240
I don't even understand that, right?

845
00:38:28,260 --> 00:38:37,220
When people are like chugging by with these boats that are, you know, a thousand horsepower and you can't, they're in idle and you can't hear each other.

846
00:38:37,220 --> 00:38:41,040
But you could make the argument that it makes the boat go fast and that's what you want to do.

847
00:38:41,080 --> 00:38:41,820
Okay, right.

848
00:38:42,100 --> 00:38:45,160
But the music on top of it is just, yeah, blows my mind.

849
00:38:45,240 --> 00:38:47,780
What I don't understand with the noise thing is with going to cars.

850
00:38:48,660 --> 00:38:58,600
Sounds like nowadays, the younger crowd, these cars want their cars to sound like when we were young and we had muffler problems, right?

851
00:38:58,680 --> 00:39:00,560
Like we, I used to hate that.

852
00:39:01,660 --> 00:39:02,460
The gurgle.

853
00:39:02,640 --> 00:39:05,100
Yeah, that now they're like, oh, I'm going to pay for that.

854
00:39:05,200 --> 00:39:06,540
I'm going to, I want that sound.

855
00:39:06,540 --> 00:39:06,980
Yes.

856
00:39:07,320 --> 00:39:08,660
I just, I don't understand.

857
00:39:08,960 --> 00:39:13,080
Literally my last Audi that I had had that feature where you.

858
00:39:13,640 --> 00:39:14,460
Different sounds, right?

859
00:39:14,540 --> 00:39:14,760
Yeah.

860
00:39:14,840 --> 00:39:16,580
You turn the mode, you change the mode.

861
00:39:16,660 --> 00:39:21,280
It opens up the exhaust and it makes it louder and makes it sound a little gurgly when it downshifts.

862
00:39:21,300 --> 00:39:25,080
Yeah, it's, I remember growing up and be like, your muffler needs to be fixed.

863
00:39:25,080 --> 00:39:26,740
You're making too much noise.

864
00:39:26,880 --> 00:39:27,120
Right.

865
00:39:27,220 --> 00:39:27,860
You get a ticket.

866
00:39:28,300 --> 00:39:28,700
Yeah.

867
00:39:28,720 --> 00:39:30,740
Now you get a, you get a prize.

868
00:39:30,860 --> 00:39:31,960
Yeah, you get a thumbs up.

869
00:39:31,980 --> 00:39:32,780
Yeah, I don't know.

870
00:39:32,840 --> 00:39:33,640
We sound really old.

871
00:39:33,640 --> 00:39:36,980
Yeah, we sound like really old men.

872
00:39:37,160 --> 00:39:38,460
Listen, we've been on boats.

873
00:39:38,820 --> 00:39:38,940
Yeah.

874
00:39:39,060 --> 00:39:40,020
We had the music up.

875
00:39:40,160 --> 00:39:42,880
We sing, we, you know, we, we like loud things.

876
00:39:42,940 --> 00:39:51,900
We grew up in music, but something like the story isn't to be about the loud music is it's so loud that the people on there have to scream to each other to hear.

877
00:39:52,080 --> 00:39:56,240
So obviously you want to talk to each other because you're still, you're screaming.

878
00:39:56,280 --> 00:39:58,920
So just put the music a little down and you can talk.

879
00:39:59,020 --> 00:39:59,320
Right.

880
00:39:59,340 --> 00:40:00,660
I have nothing wrong with music.

881
00:40:00,660 --> 00:40:09,200
Because you know that they can't possibly be thinking I'm doing a public service by playing my music because these other people, they don't have stereos on their boats.

882
00:40:09,280 --> 00:40:10,260
I'm doing my job.

883
00:40:10,420 --> 00:40:11,500
So I'm trying to pitch in.

884
00:40:11,500 --> 00:40:12,220
For the late.

885
00:40:12,360 --> 00:40:17,220
By, yeah, by playing Party in the USA at 93 decibels.

886
00:40:17,680 --> 00:40:17,940
Yeah.

887
00:40:18,080 --> 00:40:20,560
We do sound old, but it has nothing to do with the volume.

888
00:40:20,660 --> 00:40:21,960
It has something to do with volume.

889
00:40:22,140 --> 00:40:26,360
And also we're going to try to be normal and have a discussion over this.

890
00:40:26,480 --> 00:40:26,680
Yes.

891
00:40:26,800 --> 00:40:27,380
No, that's foolish.

892
00:40:27,600 --> 00:40:28,300
Yeah, it was kind of.

893
00:40:28,300 --> 00:40:28,740
That's foolish.

894
00:40:28,840 --> 00:40:29,360
It's kind of goofy.

895
00:40:29,900 --> 00:40:35,900
But so anyway, so we talk, we basically, we had a very nice 4th of July.

896
00:40:36,840 --> 00:40:37,580
Calm down.

897
00:40:38,140 --> 00:40:41,380
You know, after afterwards we just hung out.

898
00:40:41,560 --> 00:40:42,440
Did you end up staying there?

899
00:40:42,460 --> 00:40:43,940
We stayed until about midnight.

900
00:40:44,160 --> 00:40:44,480
Oh, okay.

901
00:40:44,740 --> 00:40:47,960
Baby fell asleep in the cabin and we kind of hung out for a while.

902
00:40:48,120 --> 00:40:51,100
And then we thought, well, we'll just, we'll go home rather than spend the night there.

903
00:40:51,400 --> 00:40:58,160
So closed up and drove home and no, no traffic or any problems, especially now they're, they're redoing the bridge there.

904
00:40:58,160 --> 00:41:01,180
So there's some construction you got to go through, but it was very nice.

905
00:41:01,280 --> 00:41:01,700
4th of July.

906
00:41:01,820 --> 00:41:02,520
I had a great time.

907
00:41:02,880 --> 00:41:12,160
And then the following weekend we had visits from uncle David and auntie Gabe, Kelly's brother and sister-in-law.

908
00:41:12,420 --> 00:41:12,580
Yep.

909
00:41:13,460 --> 00:41:16,700
And they came for, they actually came for a concert.

910
00:41:17,200 --> 00:41:24,000
They came to see, they are big fans of Weird Al and Weird Al played at the amphitheater.

911
00:41:24,140 --> 00:41:24,360
He did.

912
00:41:24,580 --> 00:41:24,860
Yes.

913
00:41:24,860 --> 00:41:28,400
So they went to, they had like third row, like great seats.

914
00:41:28,540 --> 00:41:29,880
They're big, big Weird Al fans.

915
00:41:30,200 --> 00:41:33,980
The funny part for me was David though had to work.

916
00:41:34,060 --> 00:41:38,540
So they came like on Thursday or Friday and he had to work during the day.

917
00:41:38,580 --> 00:41:42,020
So they drove out, spent the night and then he had to work that day.

918
00:41:42,080 --> 00:41:43,340
And then the concert was that night.

919
00:41:44,060 --> 00:41:45,920
So, and he forgot his laptop.

920
00:41:46,800 --> 00:41:48,100
So that's how he works.

921
00:41:48,260 --> 00:41:49,080
Yes, he works.

922
00:41:49,280 --> 00:41:54,220
Actually the team that he works with, he's like a senior software architect.

923
00:41:54,900 --> 00:41:57,540
And the team he works with is overseas somewhere.

924
00:41:57,940 --> 00:42:00,760
Like in a different completely, he's got to have his computer.

925
00:42:01,420 --> 00:42:03,320
So he asked if he could work here.

926
00:42:03,700 --> 00:42:04,180
Absolutely.

927
00:42:04,560 --> 00:42:09,420
So I set him up to work in my office and I just worked up at the kitchen table.

928
00:42:10,120 --> 00:42:20,780
But what I didn't think about is they have, as we talked about in the past, I have had somewhat challenging relationship with my mother-in-law, his mom.

929
00:42:22,060 --> 00:42:34,340
And at the one point we talked about the envelope that I showed you, where she addressed an Easter card to an incorrect name.

930
00:42:34,580 --> 00:42:42,700
She had hyphenated my daughter's name with my lovely wife's maiden name, which I did not take well.

931
00:42:43,240 --> 00:42:44,180
So that's not her name.

932
00:42:44,300 --> 00:42:45,160
No, it is not her name.

933
00:42:45,720 --> 00:42:48,520
But I was able, I luckily, I did not react.

934
00:42:48,520 --> 00:42:55,020
But I did, as a little reminder, I put it, I saved the envelope, I put in a frame and it's on my desk.

935
00:42:55,140 --> 00:42:56,360
Oh God, that's funny.

936
00:42:56,380 --> 00:42:57,280
And I completely forgot.

937
00:42:57,280 --> 00:42:58,460
Here's my office you can use.

938
00:42:58,500 --> 00:43:00,100
Here's my office and there's...

939
00:43:00,100 --> 00:43:01,420
Enjoy everything around you.

940
00:43:01,560 --> 00:43:07,000
Right in the center of like a 30-inch monitor is a framed envelope in his mother's handwriting.

941
00:43:07,020 --> 00:43:08,120
He must have really loved that handwriting.

942
00:43:09,040 --> 00:43:10,560
He didn't say anything about it.

943
00:43:10,640 --> 00:43:11,400
He left a little note.

944
00:43:11,740 --> 00:43:12,000
Thank you.

945
00:43:12,860 --> 00:43:14,900
Yeah, he knows what's going on.

946
00:43:14,900 --> 00:43:21,500
I thought that was fine, but we had a very nice visit with them.

947
00:43:21,680 --> 00:43:29,820
And they actually went out, a lot of boating this summer, went out of the boat with us on the next day and had a very nice weekend.

948
00:43:30,000 --> 00:43:36,000
They always make an effort to get together and see the baby, which is really nice.

949
00:43:37,220 --> 00:43:43,580
We've covered a lot of ground and we've got even more to share about baby Josie's adventures, but we're going to close for now.
