Tricycles, Tests & The Joys of Third Grade : Episode 11

1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:02,280
For some reason when I was a kid, I would take my tricycle.

2
00:00:02,360 --> 00:00:02,680
Mm-hmm.

3
00:00:02,780 --> 00:00:13,360
I would flip it over Okay, so the seat and the handlebars were on the ground and then you could grab The the pedal on the wheel and I would crank the pedal.

4
00:00:13,780 --> 00:00:28,880
Okay, and in my head I was making ice cream Why I Don't know why This is yeah, he's a child.

5
00:00:29,240 --> 00:00:30,460
It's not like there didn't have ice cream.

6
00:00:30,500 --> 00:00:31,540
I was making ice cream.

7
00:00:31,860 --> 00:00:35,840
Most kids would die For a bike for a tricycle.

8
00:00:36,020 --> 00:00:36,700
Give me a tricycle.

9
00:00:37,040 --> 00:00:37,600
You go.

10
00:00:37,780 --> 00:00:38,520
I need that tricycles.

11
00:00:38,680 --> 00:00:42,820
I want to make ice cream Yeah, I wanted my that's hilarious.

12
00:00:42,940 --> 00:00:49,840
That's what I did with my tricycle making like an ice cream where you're like Did you have like anything other than like you're you're running a business?

13
00:00:50,240 --> 00:01:02,660
I don't know Like part of me part of me as I think about this and I'm trying desperately to figure out why I would do that That's so good.

14
00:01:02,800 --> 00:01:04,420
So our driving way

15
00:01:04,420 --> 00:01:07,160
Was not we didn't have a paved

16
00:01:08,060 --> 00:01:09,380
rocks we had

17
00:01:10,200 --> 00:01:16,720
Run a crush because my dad the my dad as we have discussed was a distributor for stout or cookies

18
00:01:16,720 --> 00:01:20,200
So we would have a tractor-trailer show up and there was a warehouse

19
00:01:20,200 --> 00:01:25,320
We had a he had a like a 1300 square foot warehouse with a full bay door gotcha in the backyard

20
00:01:25,320 --> 00:01:27,080
Which was strange because we lived in a neighborhood

21
00:01:29,660 --> 00:01:31,040
But there it is

22
00:01:31,740 --> 00:01:39,120
So that was that so we would have a tractor-trailer show up once a week with like commercial commercial things go through the residential

23
00:01:39,120 --> 00:01:41,180
Our home was zoned commercial

24
00:01:53,720 --> 00:02:01,980

It's a whole new year.

29
00:02:10,620 --> 00:02:10,960
Haha.

30
00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:11,800
See see I'm a little bit tipsy season 2 baby.

31
00:02:12,880 --> 00:02:21,580
I'm worried about how it works because we said that in the last episode and I'm like is it going to get screwed up if I start putting season 2 now?

32
00:02:21,760 --> 00:02:24,060
Are things going to be out of order on Apple?

33
00:02:24,360 --> 00:02:25,220
I don't know how it works.

34
00:02:25,220 --> 00:02:26,540
We're back to season 1 guys.

35
00:02:27,120 --> 00:02:28,560
This might be season 1.

36
00:02:28,740 --> 00:02:30,120
Let's stop talking about seasons.

37
00:02:30,380 --> 00:02:32,140
I like the sound of season 2.

38
00:02:32,780 --> 00:02:38,340
But anyway, welcome back to what may be the first episode of season 2 or just episode 11.

39
00:02:38,900 --> 00:02:42,000
But either way, as always, I am Frank Cereo.

40
00:02:42,320 --> 00:02:44,260
I am 55 years old.

41
00:02:44,640 --> 00:02:49,880
And my wife is 28 weeks pregnant.

42
00:02:50,500 --> 00:02:53,020
It just keeps going by and by.

43
00:02:53,300 --> 00:02:58,920
And as we often do, always do, we have the weekly produce update.

44
00:02:59,320 --> 00:03:07,360
The produce update is today we are up to a butternut squash size.

45
00:03:09,500 --> 00:03:11,860
Her head is getting bigger.

46
00:03:12,280 --> 00:03:14,540
Basically that's the big news of this week.

47
00:03:14,680 --> 00:03:19,400
Butternut squash and her head is getting bigger to accommodate the huge brain.

48
00:03:19,580 --> 00:03:20,000
Very nice.

49
00:03:20,260 --> 00:03:25,020
Because with my wife contributing to the, it's going to be.

50
00:03:25,120 --> 00:03:26,680
The baby's going to be all brains.

51
00:03:27,920 --> 00:03:34,040
I'm already terrified that at four years old she's going to be asking me life questions that I'm unprepared to answer.

52
00:03:34,100 --> 00:03:34,580
Oh they will.

53
00:03:34,840 --> 00:03:35,640
It'll happen.

54
00:03:35,880 --> 00:03:36,320
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

55
00:03:36,400 --> 00:03:37,300
But yeah, so that's it.

56
00:03:37,400 --> 00:03:38,120
Butternut squash.

57
00:03:38,380 --> 00:03:42,680
We're in week 28 and here we are back again.

58
00:03:43,620 --> 00:03:44,280
That's awesome.

59
00:03:44,400 --> 00:03:48,080
Butternut squash and a big old head, a big, big old head.

60
00:03:48,700 --> 00:03:49,300
I love it.

61
00:03:49,840 --> 00:03:57,860
And Kelly has on occasion mentioned her concern because I have a big noggin, right?

62
00:03:57,880 --> 00:04:02,900
So I'm like, when you, when you, for those who are familiar with hat sizing.

63
00:04:03,360 --> 00:04:07,680
So I'm like, uh, I think it's a seven and seven eights.

64
00:04:07,680 --> 00:04:09,120
Like I'm a big, you said it's big.

65
00:04:09,260 --> 00:04:09,580
Yeah.

66
00:04:09,760 --> 00:04:12,760
Like I can't, you can't, I can't buy a hat like at target.

67
00:04:13,040 --> 00:04:15,300
Like they're all like, they look like a party hat on me.

68
00:04:15,720 --> 00:04:22,000
So she's like, I hope she's, she said a couple of times, I hope she doesn't have, yeah, we need, we need to have Kelly's head.

69
00:04:23,120 --> 00:04:24,040
That's all right though.

70
00:04:24,260 --> 00:04:28,760
For a little girl, Josie, you know, big noggin.

71
00:04:28,980 --> 00:04:32,520
It's like a, some kind of a, a baddie in a Marvel film.

72
00:04:32,580 --> 00:04:40,940
I'm going to say you have no worries because your sisters look great and on Kelly's side, they're good.

73
00:04:41,080 --> 00:04:42,120
So you're, you're good.

74
00:04:42,620 --> 00:04:45,260
I'm thinking, yeah, I think it's not going to be a bobblehead.

75
00:04:49,120 --> 00:04:50,100
Bye bye baby.

76
00:04:50,300 --> 00:04:50,400
Yeah.

77
00:04:51,700 --> 00:05:01,820
Cause there are, there have been times, there's certain children that I've seen friends, not a family member where it's like, what happened on the way out?

78
00:05:02,140 --> 00:05:03,840
Like the head, the head is, yes.

79
00:05:04,120 --> 00:05:07,580
And that's a thing like now that I think has also become common.

80
00:05:07,680 --> 00:05:11,780
I don't know if you're familiar with this, but they make like preventative helmets.

81
00:05:12,060 --> 00:05:17,500
It's like a mold for the baby's head that they wear all the time to make the, have a pleasing head shape.

82
00:05:17,800 --> 00:05:17,940
Yes.

83
00:05:17,960 --> 00:05:22,500
Because when babies are young and they're sleeping, that will, that will shape their head spot.

84
00:05:22,700 --> 00:05:23,140
Absolutely.

85
00:05:23,420 --> 00:05:23,540
Yeah.

86
00:05:23,660 --> 00:05:23,960
Yeah.

87
00:05:23,960 --> 00:05:25,600
So they'll put that little, uh, right.

88
00:05:25,760 --> 00:05:27,240
You got to roll them around like a meatball.

89
00:05:27,420 --> 00:05:28,000
You don't want that.

90
00:05:28,040 --> 00:05:35,480
You got to make sure they're, so they put that, they'll put that helmet on them and they can roll around in bed and not worry about it.

91
00:05:35,500 --> 00:05:36,700
And they'll thank you later.

92
00:05:36,860 --> 00:05:42,380
But I'm disturbed by a society where the child has a helmet to sleep.

93
00:05:43,160 --> 00:05:43,600
Why?

94
00:05:44,040 --> 00:05:44,540
Why is that?

95
00:05:44,720 --> 00:05:45,880
We didn't have any of that.

96
00:05:45,880 --> 00:05:47,020
That's why we have flat heads.

97
00:05:47,060 --> 00:05:47,680
That's right.

98
00:05:47,800 --> 00:05:53,040
I can use that to sand the back of my head.

99
00:05:53,380 --> 00:05:57,140
So yeah, but yeah, that there's a, there's all that stuff people have to worry about.

100
00:05:57,200 --> 00:06:02,040
Let's how does the, you know, if you're lucky enough to have hair, that's right.

101
00:06:02,180 --> 00:06:10,800
Uh, you're not worried about your, your, but it's those, uh, those gentlemen and some ladies that lose their, their hair and they have to have a good noggin.

102
00:06:11,020 --> 00:06:11,300
Yeah.

103
00:06:11,400 --> 00:06:12,700
They have to have a good looking head.

104
00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:13,200
Yep.

105
00:06:13,380 --> 00:06:14,500
That, that is important.

106
00:06:14,560 --> 00:06:17,400
I guess Josie's going to have a beautiful head and beautiful long hair.

107
00:06:17,520 --> 00:06:18,180
It's going to be great.

108
00:06:18,320 --> 00:06:19,240
Little Josie.

109
00:06:19,340 --> 00:06:21,840
I have, I have every confidence that that will be the case.

110
00:06:22,080 --> 00:06:22,180
Absolutely.

111
00:06:23,200 --> 00:06:30,420
So the first thing up for this episode will be as often is case the silver Fox.

112
00:06:30,920 --> 00:06:31,920
Oh, I love that.

113
00:06:32,320 --> 00:06:37,740
So this, we got another very, very nice email from one of our fans, Becky.

114
00:06:37,920 --> 00:06:38,260
Awesome.

115
00:06:38,900 --> 00:06:51,060
And it was about, we have talked about on multiple occasions, my fears regarding the child birthing process and my hopes that I, if there was a cesarean that I would not be involved.

116
00:06:51,360 --> 00:06:51,760
Right.

117
00:06:51,880 --> 00:06:56,080
She of course, as wanted to disabuse me of that notion.

118
00:06:56,640 --> 00:07:04,520
And we've already kind of talked about a little, but what I thought was interesting was she said that you don't worry, there will be a, you'll be there, but there will be a screen.

119
00:07:04,520 --> 00:07:06,080
And that makes me feel better.

120
00:07:06,120 --> 00:07:07,900
And it's a good, nice size screen.

121
00:07:08,080 --> 00:07:19,020
What she said was that her husband, Jeff had to sign a piece of paper with this, this actually was very reassuring for me that he would not peak.

122
00:07:19,320 --> 00:07:30,080
I'm not sure why, what she said that she was pretty sure that before that, like the doctor had a talk and was like, don't come over the screen.

123
00:07:30,400 --> 00:07:32,560
You'd not want to see what we're doing.

124
00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:35,200
You don't want to see the mystery.

125
00:07:35,320 --> 00:07:36,620
Do you keep it that way?

126
00:07:36,680 --> 00:07:44,340
Maybe it's like, I don't know, like they're picturing somebody like snacking on a breadstick and it's going to like reds peeking over.

127
00:07:44,840 --> 00:07:45,320
I don't know.

128
00:07:45,520 --> 00:07:48,240
But yeah, she said that he had to sign.

129
00:07:48,580 --> 00:07:50,060
He had to sue him.

130
00:07:51,220 --> 00:07:53,840
It's like a release for like a zip line.

131
00:07:53,960 --> 00:07:56,440
That is the craziest thing I've ever heard.

132
00:07:56,520 --> 00:07:56,960
Yeah.

133
00:07:57,060 --> 00:07:58,940
But she, this is from, from Becky.

134
00:07:59,220 --> 00:08:02,000
You're going to be like, you don't have to worry about me citing anything.

135
00:08:02,120 --> 00:08:02,820
I'm not looking.

136
00:08:03,680 --> 00:08:05,340
I'll let you tattoo it on me.

137
00:08:05,480 --> 00:08:07,140
I won't even be in the room if you want.

138
00:08:08,100 --> 00:08:10,040
Knock me out.

139
00:08:10,540 --> 00:08:11,980
Don't, don't worry about it with me.

140
00:08:12,080 --> 00:08:12,420
That's fine.

141
00:08:12,440 --> 00:08:14,660
So that was, but it was very nice to get the email.

142
00:08:14,860 --> 00:08:15,180
Yeah.

143
00:08:15,280 --> 00:08:20,780
The other thing I thought was a good one from, it was, this actually came from our name, the baby winner.

144
00:08:21,020 --> 00:08:21,340
Okay.

145
00:08:21,700 --> 00:08:23,140
Marie, we got to get that T-shirt.

146
00:08:23,140 --> 00:08:25,060
This is a great, this is a great recommendation.

147
00:08:25,790 --> 00:08:32,159
Um, we had talked about at some, some point in the past car seats and preparing and things like that.

148
00:08:32,299 --> 00:08:35,679
And she recommended, and I've looked at it since, and this is a great resource.

149
00:08:35,840 --> 00:08:44,300
There is an Instagram account called all one word, no dots or spaces safe in the seat, safe in the seat.

150
00:08:44,420 --> 00:08:52,480
It has all kinds of information on good car seats, how they, how they, how to choose one, how it connects.

151
00:08:53,560 --> 00:08:53,660
Yeah.

152
00:08:54,320 --> 00:08:55,920
Great, great recommendation.

153
00:08:56,200 --> 00:09:05,380
So it's on Instagram safe in the seat, safe in the seat covers a whole bunch of information that is valuable.

154
00:09:05,380 --> 00:09:10,220
So a great tip from Marie and a very nice email from Becky.

155
00:09:11,140 --> 00:09:16,560
Our very next segment is another installment of the database.

156
00:09:19,700 --> 00:09:25,540
And we're going to be returning to our conversation with, uh, with our friend, John Taylor.

157
00:09:25,720 --> 00:09:31,380
So this will be part two of his interview and we hope you enjoyed part one.

158
00:09:31,420 --> 00:09:38,460
And here's a little bit more of the dulcet tones of John Taylor, ladies and gentlemen.

159
00:09:39,220 --> 00:09:50,720
You know, it's, it's going okay, but it's, it's five days and I, you know, I'm, I'm his mom stays in the hospital the whole time and I, and I'm spending kind of every night there.

160
00:09:50,780 --> 00:10:01,020
And then, you know, every night gets a little bit better, you know, night one, I'm, I'm on just a chair and then night two, I think I'm on two chairs pushed together.

161
00:10:01,200 --> 00:10:14,520
And by like the fourth night, I actually got, uh, like some kind of cot, but we, um, you know, we, we get them out of there and it was just, it was a very, very scary thing.

162
00:10:14,720 --> 00:10:19,820
But to go to your, back to your question about like teaching a child day and night, they don't know what that is.

163
00:10:19,840 --> 00:10:25,340
So you have to, you kind of have to teach them like, okay, it's nighttime.

164
00:10:25,520 --> 00:10:26,360
This is when we go to bed.

165
00:10:26,360 --> 00:10:35,780
Cause if you don't, if you don't spend that time, if you don't put that effort in, they may sleep in the day and just say, Hey, let's be up all night.

166
00:10:36,140 --> 00:10:48,400
And that be, you know, depending on your lifestyle, and you know, it's tough because in the beginning babies are eating every 90 minutes or so.

167
00:10:48,820 --> 00:10:53,860
So really the way we got through it was we took shifts.

168
00:10:53,980 --> 00:11:12,720
It was, you know, we, you're trying to look as an, as a modern society and many people are working, the struggle is how do you get some sleep and raise your baby, but also maintain, you know, your, your livelihood.

169
00:11:13,140 --> 00:11:23,600
So, you know, we would take shifts where I would stay up with, like, we would try to get the baby down by seven, eight or nine generally in the early days.

170
00:11:23,620 --> 00:11:24,460
It's, it's easy.

171
00:11:24,540 --> 00:11:33,580
You get them down at like seven, um, as they get older, it gets more difficult, but, and I would stay up with the baby until I think around 2.00 AM.

172
00:11:33,960 --> 00:11:35,700
So she would be in the, in the bedroom.

173
00:11:36,000 --> 00:11:40,000
It's like, no matter what you hear, just stay asleep, get your five hours.

174
00:11:40,200 --> 00:11:42,260
You were on duty until about 2.00 AM.

175
00:11:42,280 --> 00:11:44,600
And then she would come out and take over at two.

176
00:11:44,940 --> 00:11:47,380
And I would sleep until about two to seven.

177
00:11:47,800 --> 00:11:49,820
And then I would get up for work.

178
00:11:49,980 --> 00:11:57,520
So essentially what we were able to give each other was five uninterrupted hours of sleep.

179
00:11:58,280 --> 00:12:04,480
And, and if during your five hours, the interesting thing about a baby is they do love to sleep.

180
00:12:04,820 --> 00:12:21,040
So I'm out on the couch and rocking the baby, changing the baby's diaper, feeding the baby, but then the baby's going to lay down for 90 minutes and you kind of start to learn, Hey, maybe I can get 60 minutes in here or 90 minutes in here.

181
00:12:21,080 --> 00:12:24,600
So you're getting the, um, the cat naps, you get a little cat nap.

182
00:12:24,640 --> 00:12:29,020
So it's not like, it's not like I'm just getting the five hours of sleep.

183
00:12:29,020 --> 00:12:29,360
Right.

184
00:12:29,560 --> 00:12:32,480
Um, but you do get very good.

185
00:12:32,840 --> 00:12:36,200
My mom used to say to me that cliche, Oh, you sleep when the baby sleeps.

186
00:12:36,200 --> 00:12:42,400
And I used to hate that saying until I realized, okay, it's a saying for a reason.

187
00:12:42,600 --> 00:12:43,000
Yeah.

188
00:12:43,040 --> 00:12:49,980
Thinking you're going to, we were just talking about this, that thinking you're going to get anything done when the baby's sleeping is like a recipe for disaster.

189
00:12:50,220 --> 00:12:53,700
Like at that point, you have to get the sleep when you do.

190
00:12:53,960 --> 00:12:56,840
Um, it's, it's, it's very interesting.

191
00:12:57,040 --> 00:13:15,180
You start to learn, it's, it's unexpected ways that you learn to get things done when the baby starts aging up into where they're in that little round, uh, you know, kind of almost play pen device that they can bounce in, but they can't really go anywhere.

192
00:13:15,600 --> 00:13:28,860
You can suddenly realize, Oh, I can go put the, the wall, you know, the laundry in a, which, you know, non sequitur, but my God, the amount of laundry you do when you have a baby is insane.

193
00:13:29,020 --> 00:13:34,580
The beautiful part is it's all so tiny that they're actually not very big loads.

194
00:13:34,660 --> 00:13:39,960
You're just, you're washing so many bibs and so many onesies.

195
00:13:39,960 --> 00:13:42,740
See, that's currently, that is my thing.

196
00:13:42,840 --> 00:13:43,800
Like I do the laundry.

197
00:13:44,580 --> 00:13:49,900
So if I recommend anything to explode 30 bibs, like you cannot have too many bibs.

198
00:13:50,380 --> 00:13:51,540
You don't want to run out.

199
00:13:51,880 --> 00:13:52,760
So got it.

200
00:13:53,300 --> 00:13:54,100
That's awesome.

201
00:13:54,260 --> 00:14:05,920
So that, you know, the initial kind of survival mode of what you were, you know, what you're going through early on is really just, you know, kind of the tip of the iceberg when it comes to being a dad.

202
00:14:06,060 --> 00:14:12,080
So what do you, what do you think are, what do you think are the most important things you've learned now?

203
00:14:12,160 --> 00:14:13,440
Jacob is eight.

204
00:14:13,680 --> 00:14:19,780
So you've got eight years under your belt that, so that's like, you know, two undergrad degrees.

205
00:14:20,460 --> 00:14:25,120
What, what, what do you think are the most important things you've learned about being a dad?

206
00:14:25,300 --> 00:14:43,120
The most important things for me definitely have been how quickly everything goes and how temporary it is and just how much it really forces you to reprioritize what's important to you.

207
00:14:43,570 --> 00:14:59,500
And, and sometimes it's, it's the smallest things in the world, just as a little 10 second interaction or five minute interaction with your kid that you're like, this is the greatest thing that's happened to me in the past 10 years.

208
00:15:00,200 --> 00:15:00,300
Right.

209
00:15:00,520 --> 00:15:06,500
And what is one of the, like, is there a recent example of a moment like that?

210
00:15:06,920 --> 00:15:07,900
Yeah, for sure.

211
00:15:08,060 --> 00:15:11,380
So I had this little bike for my son.

212
00:15:12,120 --> 00:15:22,160
And one, one important lesson to give you about a kid is if they're not into something, sometimes you really gotta be ready to just accept that you cannot make it happen.

213
00:15:23,180 --> 00:15:25,520
If they're not interested, they're into it.

214
00:15:25,620 --> 00:15:26,940
If they're not, there's not a lot.

215
00:15:27,120 --> 00:15:32,600
And some people I'm sure get luckier than others where, you know, if you're into something, your kid will get into it too.

216
00:15:32,720 --> 00:15:39,140
But I had this bike and my son just had no interest, no interest, no interest, no interest.

217
00:15:39,320 --> 00:15:51,420
And then I can't, I cannot even explain why, but one day recently he, he kind of drags it out and he's like trying to kind of ride it in the house.

218
00:15:52,600 --> 00:15:55,880
And I'm like, hell, this isn't not going to be super helpful.

219
00:15:56,020 --> 00:15:57,560
I'm like, why don't we take it outside?

220
00:15:57,880 --> 00:15:59,340
And he is game.

221
00:15:59,480 --> 00:16:05,940
So we take it outside and it's, this is sort of the end of like end of summer, early fall.

222
00:16:06,180 --> 00:16:09,160
So it's, it's not quite, it's,

223
00:16:09,160 --> 00:16:16,300
it's probably when we're getting dark around seven, eight o'clock and we're out there and I,

224
00:16:17,260 --> 00:16:21,620
he's, you know, he's on it and we're, we're kind of pushing him down the, down the road

225
00:16:22,720 --> 00:16:30,640
and I'm there and I've got my hand on his back and he, you know, we're talking and giving him

226
00:16:30,640 --> 00:16:33,560
the push and then he's starting to do the peddling and it's, it's still, you know,

227
00:16:33,560 --> 00:16:38,300
it's got the training wheels, but he's they're, they're kind of raised up a little.

228
00:16:38,380 --> 00:17:02,900
So there's definitely tilt and he is riding and I'm, you know, I've got, I, I've got my camera out and he's basically, he's like, you know, you can take your hand off my back and I kind of take my hand off and I can see my shadow cause it's at night and he's riding and he looks up at me and it's in that moment where he's like, where he's like, I'm doing it.

229
00:17:03,339 --> 00:17:16,040
And I just realized I'm living the moment that I've waited for that, that bonding moment where it's like, I'm going to remember, I'm, I'm certainly going to remember this for the rest of my life.

230
00:17:16,200 --> 00:17:19,339
And he may or he may not.

231
00:17:19,440 --> 00:17:21,579
I have very fond memory.

232
00:17:21,660 --> 00:17:30,160
You know, my dad was, he was big into bedtime stories with me and I, they're my most cherished memories.

233
00:17:30,540 --> 00:17:33,500
The way he would tell pretty interesting.

234
00:17:33,680 --> 00:17:38,200
I wonder if that's where your love of narrative and movies.

235
00:17:38,620 --> 00:17:41,020
I absolutely think that is.

236
00:17:41,200 --> 00:17:51,400
I, I, because I spent my whole childhood and most of my adult life kind of browbeating myself being like, I'll be 10% of what my dad was.

237
00:17:52,020 --> 00:17:59,060
And not in a negative way, but in a, in a cherished, like that's how important those memories are to me.

238
00:17:59,100 --> 00:18:02,840
So, because I feel that way, it is possible.

239
00:18:03,280 --> 00:18:07,600
Other people might feel that way up, up to and including my own child.

240
00:18:07,620 --> 00:18:16,000
So it's, you, you gotta wonder sometimes what moments you're sharing with another human being that might end up being impactful.

241
00:18:16,600 --> 00:18:16,820
Yeah.

242
00:18:16,960 --> 00:18:17,240
Yeah.

243
00:18:17,300 --> 00:18:24,040
No, that, I mean, that's how the, the, the moment of, uh, you know, with him learning to ride the bike and yeah, I can kind of picture it.

244
00:18:24,040 --> 00:18:26,080
It's a very cinematic moment, the way you described it.

245
00:18:26,080 --> 00:18:34,740
Oh, I, I was, cause I mean, I have goosebumps just retelling the story because I, I didn't, it all happened so quickly.

246
00:18:34,820 --> 00:18:39,380
I, I didn't have time to prepare like, oh, we're going to, we're going to start practicing on the bike.

247
00:18:39,500 --> 00:18:41,900
It just could be, it was just kind of, it just happened.

248
00:18:42,120 --> 00:18:46,200
He was interested for a moment and I was like, okay, let's do this.

249
00:18:46,220 --> 00:18:47,240
Let's get the bike out there.

250
00:18:47,620 --> 00:18:49,640
Let's kind of strike while he's interested.

251
00:18:49,760 --> 00:18:57,220
Cause I, I wasn't anticipating that it was going to happen, but I knew I didn't want to miss the opportunity.

252
00:18:57,500 --> 00:19:02,460
I wanted to stoke that coal and then to see your kid's face light up about anything.

253
00:19:02,540 --> 00:19:10,960
I mean, you can have, you can have the worst, worst day, uh, you know, life just kicking you, just being an asshole.

254
00:19:11,040 --> 00:19:11,140
Yeah.

255
00:19:11,160 --> 00:19:15,200
Your, your boss is just on your case about some lesson.

256
00:19:16,000 --> 00:19:22,860
And then you get home and this kid just is going to change your world.

257
00:19:23,120 --> 00:19:23,720
That's awesome.

258
00:19:23,980 --> 00:19:33,340
So you mentioned it as part of that experience, are there favorite ways like that you actively try to have to build that bond with your son?

259
00:19:33,760 --> 00:19:43,140
Like, do you, do you think is there, is there, is there a conscious effort to do that or just kind of taking opportunities like that where they present themselves or what do you think?

260
00:19:43,140 --> 00:19:43,300
Yeah.

261
00:19:43,300 --> 00:19:44,400
I mean, it's a little of both.

262
00:19:45,400 --> 00:19:53,640
So it, it is, it is humbling, you know, especially as your, as your kid starts to age up, it's tough.

263
00:19:53,840 --> 00:20:03,900
And again, I think this is might be cliche when you're, when your kid is very, very little as a baby, there's the interactions are mostly functional.

264
00:20:04,320 --> 00:20:05,760
It's, it is a lot of love.

265
00:20:05,760 --> 00:20:12,740
Like I have fond memories of just being exhausted and falling asleep on the couch with my kid on my chest.

266
00:20:12,860 --> 00:20:14,780
And like, those are great moments.

267
00:20:14,780 --> 00:20:29,060
And I think the early days you're so busy with so much that the memories you're making are just like a physical, they're just like the physical interactions, the quiet moments.

268
00:20:29,120 --> 00:20:32,660
And it's when your kid starts moving and starts talking.

269
00:20:32,760 --> 00:20:44,800
And then when they, I mean, you will remember the moments where you actually see the personality start to show and you're like, Oh, I remember my son.

270
00:20:44,800 --> 00:20:51,500
One of the first times when he was like, he started using expressions or sayings.

271
00:20:51,620 --> 00:21:01,400
And I was like, when did you start having expressions versus just functional dialogue and, and, and things like that.

272
00:21:01,420 --> 00:21:07,420
So you kind of tried to, you try to make moments, like, obviously I'm really big into music.

273
00:21:07,480 --> 00:21:11,520
I try to expose my son to as much music as I can.

274
00:21:12,120 --> 00:21:25,860
And, you know, you gotta be ready for the fact that they have zero interest in things, but then you'll start to see it echo back at you in ways that you might not expect where they might show an interest.

275
00:21:26,060 --> 00:21:32,120
And it's possibly because they are remembering more than you think.

276
00:21:32,360 --> 00:21:42,520
And even if they don't show it in the moment, they are retaining like, Oh, I always, I always listened to music with my dad, or I know my dad was into this.

277
00:21:43,040 --> 00:21:44,080
So there's that.

278
00:21:44,140 --> 00:21:51,700
And then just kind of spending time and finding out what they're into and trying to, you know, show interest.

279
00:21:51,860 --> 00:22:06,720
Have there been those moments where all of a sudden outcomes, something that he's interested in, or he's asking questions about, and you have no idea where that came from, like where, where, how did you end up, how did you end up asking about those?

280
00:22:07,440 --> 00:22:18,960
What's interesting is sometimes they're learning about something in school and he'll come home and he'll, he'll just ask me to like quiz him on famous buildings in the world.

281
00:22:19,040 --> 00:22:21,040
And I'm like, where is this coming from?

282
00:22:21,480 --> 00:22:22,920
I don't have the syllabus.

283
00:22:23,220 --> 00:22:36,260
And then, and then, so you start to, you start to see where things are happening, or he'll come home and he'll say he wants to go look up a bunch of random places on Google earth.

284
00:22:36,400 --> 00:22:45,140
And you got to put up with him giggling himself silly because he looked up, you know, some funny sounding place in Chicago or whatever.

285
00:22:45,400 --> 00:22:45,740
Gotcha.

286
00:22:45,880 --> 00:23:08,920
You start to realize it's little kids are just really excited about everything they learn in school or everything they learn if they're in daycare, they come home and they're just every, they essentially have what most of the rest of us don't have anymore, which is time and an internal sense of wonder, right?

287
00:23:09,380 --> 00:23:09,820
Everything.

288
00:23:10,040 --> 00:23:12,360
It's just, everything is exciting.

289
00:23:13,120 --> 00:23:20,540
That's the, it's interesting because I always like, I think the idea of time is the thing that none of us have anymore.

290
00:23:20,780 --> 00:23:26,260
The, and I think kids don't, well, in many, for a lot of kids, kids don't have the time that we used.

291
00:23:26,420 --> 00:23:27,500
Oh no, they are.

292
00:23:27,700 --> 00:23:31,640
Everything is, it's this appointment, this rush to this.

293
00:23:31,720 --> 00:23:33,640
Then we go to the, it's calendar based.

294
00:23:33,780 --> 00:23:50,980
It is so different than me as a child, just in summertime, just sitting on my bed, listening to somebody mow their lawn in the neighborhood and just being, I mean, that's what it was like.

295
00:23:51,080 --> 00:23:56,700
I just remember when I think back to my being a young kid, that's what it is.

296
00:23:56,760 --> 00:24:03,300
It was literally just how to manage the kind of deafening boredom of childhood.

297
00:24:03,520 --> 00:24:11,300
Like you had to be like, there was not this constant, there were no play dates, there were no schedules, there was no count.

298
00:24:11,360 --> 00:24:13,340
There was nobody driving you around anywhere.

299
00:24:13,340 --> 00:24:22,840
It was like your world was as far as you could get away on your bike and, and your, and your friends and whatever you could get to.

300
00:24:22,960 --> 00:24:28,140
It was a lot more in between moments because you were doing things.

301
00:24:28,260 --> 00:24:36,080
But if you stop for a moment and think, okay, I'm not about to check this notification, this notification.

302
00:24:36,640 --> 00:24:39,500
Are there any updates on this app that I use?

303
00:24:39,600 --> 00:24:40,020
Okay.

304
00:24:40,080 --> 00:24:40,900
How about this app?

305
00:24:40,960 --> 00:24:41,060
You

306
00:24:41,060 --> 00:24:46,980
know, whatever your top five apps that you open and you know, spend minutes or hours scrolling

307
00:24:46,980 --> 00:24:54,680
through without that, you were left with, like you said, the unstructured time and it is, it's,

308
00:24:54,720 --> 00:25:02,740
it's, it was different in, in how we approached childhood because that's the, a lot of the,

309
00:25:02,800 --> 00:25:08,400
some of the other stuff I've, I've been reading is like, it's why kids can't, I think a lot of

310
00:25:08,400 --> 00:25:15,720
kids now can't cope with, because they, they're continually, they haven't had to adjust to

311
00:25:16,560 --> 00:25:20,100
not being kind of not constantly being stimulated.

312
00:25:20,540 --> 00:25:39,420
And I also like just the imagination piece of that's what you did when you were a kid and you were bored as you, it was, it was this space for you to, you know, to imagine and, and experiment and do sometimes dangerous things as a slightly older kid.

313
00:25:40,020 --> 00:25:41,660
But yeah, it is, it is.

314
00:25:41,860 --> 00:25:44,300
It's interesting to think about the differences now.

315
00:25:44,300 --> 00:25:53,840
So thinking about just in general now, you know, and this, you know, the point where, what grade is he's in third grade, he's in third grade.

316
00:25:53,960 --> 00:25:55,740
So he's kind of got a few years.

317
00:25:55,820 --> 00:26:03,840
And so at this point in this version of fatherhood where you're at right now, what's your favorite part?

318
00:26:04,100 --> 00:26:11,580
The favorite part about being a dad right now is definitely at third grade.

319
00:26:11,780 --> 00:26:15,580
He's that age that I was looking forward to.

320
00:26:15,680 --> 00:26:27,620
I think the most, when you're, when you're thinking about being a dad, a lot of times, especially if you don't have prior experience, like the thought of the baby and before they can talk.

321
00:26:27,820 --> 00:26:31,500
And before you're really, uh, you have stuff in common and stuff.

322
00:26:31,560 --> 00:26:33,640
It's tough to necessarily get excited about that.

323
00:26:33,640 --> 00:26:48,380
But the, the one part you just know, you're really pumped about is when you get to the part where they have interests and hobbies and personality and, and a sense of humor and all of these things where you are essentially reminded of your own childhood.

324
00:26:48,560 --> 00:26:53,580
We all have memories of, of what it was like to be a kid.

325
00:26:53,920 --> 00:26:58,800
And for me, I was obsessed with childhood.

326
00:26:58,940 --> 00:27:07,100
I loved being a kid and just going on adventures and having fun and, and having hobbies and having friends.

327
00:27:07,120 --> 00:27:13,100
And it's just, it, it truly is to at least to my memory, a magical time.

328
00:27:13,220 --> 00:27:13,420
Sure.

329
00:27:13,680 --> 00:27:25,020
And by having a kid who's kind of aging into that, I'm getting to be able to like secondhand to live through that.

330
00:27:25,200 --> 00:27:36,460
And it's so exciting getting to see him start to formulate the, you know, like what's his favorite this and kind of getting to see him grow into that and figure out who he's going to be.

331
00:27:36,580 --> 00:27:36,820
Yeah.

332
00:27:37,140 --> 00:27:41,580
I think there's something just intangibly magical about it.

333
00:27:41,580 --> 00:27:45,240
And it's the part, the part that I did

334
00:27:45,240 --> 00:27:51,340
know, you know, well, obviously I didn't know if I was ever going to have kids, but the fact that

335
00:27:51,960 --> 00:27:57,120
I think the part that I was most excited about was there's, there's something cool about the middle

336
00:27:57,120 --> 00:28:02,040
of elementary school where they start doing art projects and getting into this and, and just all

337
00:28:02,040 --> 00:28:05,900
the stuff that you're like, oh man, this is the, this is the good stuff, the fun stuff.

338
00:28:06,120 --> 00:28:06,320
Right.

339
00:28:06,660 --> 00:28:07,200
That's neat.

340
00:28:08,380 --> 00:28:09,360
Welcome back.

341
00:28:09,700 --> 00:28:14,480
And we hope you enjoyed part two of our interview with John Taylor.

342
00:28:14,600 --> 00:28:16,200
I love, John has a great voice.

343
00:28:16,320 --> 00:28:16,540
Yeah.

344
00:28:16,620 --> 00:28:22,180
I just, I've heard from more than one listener viewer that they're like, yeah, he has a great voice.

345
00:28:22,260 --> 00:28:23,640
He's very, he's a good story.

346
00:28:23,720 --> 00:28:25,160
So we've had very good.

347
00:28:25,280 --> 00:28:25,800
I did enjoy it.

348
00:28:25,800 --> 00:28:28,960
I really do enjoy watching this and hopefully there's more.

349
00:28:29,040 --> 00:28:31,240
I think he listens to a lot of podcasts.

350
00:28:31,660 --> 00:28:35,140
He knows what he's doing, but he listens to like the long form.

351
00:28:35,280 --> 00:28:43,320
Like he's, he told me about, there's a video gaming podcast, but it's like a four hour podcast.

352
00:28:43,320 --> 00:28:44,620
That's an investment.

353
00:28:45,340 --> 00:28:46,720
Uh, that, that's a lot.

354
00:28:46,800 --> 00:29:00,600
Although I have to say too, when it comes to long form and I should, we are going to do, and I was wrong this time because there, we haven't been told that we were wrong about anything throughout the holidays and all that went through.

355
00:29:00,760 --> 00:29:04,420
They might be like, you know what, I'm not going to tell them that we're going to give them, we're going to give them a break.

356
00:29:04,840 --> 00:29:16,860
But I will say that I may have overstated my brother's lack of interest in the, I think he's trying, you know, you can't, well, I did say Mike do better and he's doing better.

357
00:29:17,120 --> 00:29:18,000
I think he is.

358
00:29:18,120 --> 00:29:19,160
I think he's doing better.

359
00:29:19,200 --> 00:29:29,980
And I had mentioned the 26 hours that he spent listening to the book about Anthony, Anthony Fauci, but his, his, his review of that book was compelling enough.

360
00:29:30,220 --> 00:29:36,160
And it is related, although tangentially to the baby, because it talks about vaccines.

361
00:29:36,420 --> 00:29:37,520
Some of it is about vaccines.

362
00:29:38,080 --> 00:29:39,200
So I thought, okay, I'm going to listen.

363
00:29:39,280 --> 00:29:47,280
Cause he really, he, he thought it was, and I I'm about halfway, barely halfway through it, listening to it at one and a half times speed.

364
00:29:47,480 --> 00:29:50,620
It's still like 18 hours, but I've got it on in the background.

365
00:29:50,740 --> 00:29:51,160
I'm listening to it.

366
00:29:51,160 --> 00:29:52,720
And it is, it's a great everybody.

367
00:29:52,800 --> 00:29:54,900
It's, it's a book by Robert F.

368
00:29:54,920 --> 00:29:55,680
Kennedy jr.

369
00:29:56,500 --> 00:29:59,020
About the re it's called the real Anthony Fauci.

370
00:29:59,160 --> 00:30:02,260
And it is, it is a, it's a great book.

371
00:30:02,480 --> 00:30:07,140
That's not what your brother's reading or is that's what he, that's what he was listening to.

372
00:30:07,240 --> 00:30:08,320
And I'm now I'm list.

373
00:30:08,380 --> 00:30:25,840
Cause he said it was so good and that I should, and because of all the choices that we're going to have to make in the very, in the very near future regarding, cause there's like, I think it's there's 69 vaccines that happened for a child in their first year or two years.

374
00:30:26,580 --> 00:30:28,200
And it was never like that.

375
00:30:28,200 --> 00:30:30,580
And they taught, they haven't really gotten that deep into it.

376
00:30:30,620 --> 00:30:37,480
What mostly the book has been focusing on up till now is COVID and how that was all managed.

377
00:30:38,340 --> 00:30:41,020
And, and it's, it's really, it's kind of bad.

378
00:30:41,280 --> 00:30:41,560
It's really bad.

379
00:30:41,920 --> 00:30:47,500
You take it for granted when I guess I know we did, you just listen to the doctors and go, okay, now we're going to do this vaccine.

380
00:30:47,580 --> 00:30:48,900
That makes it, and you go, Oh, okay.

381
00:30:49,400 --> 00:30:52,380
Um, and you do have to, you know, not saying it's bad, good, different.

382
00:30:52,600 --> 00:30:56,340
You just have to investigate what you're putting into your child and yourselves.

383
00:30:56,340 --> 00:30:58,520
And if it works out, it works out for you.

384
00:30:58,580 --> 00:31:00,240
If not, you know, you don't want that.

385
00:31:00,600 --> 00:31:03,540
Hopefully you have enough information to make that decision.

386
00:31:03,800 --> 00:31:07,980
People were so, when you think back to that time, people were so just frightened.

387
00:31:07,980 --> 00:31:09,280
They were so frightened.

388
00:31:09,560 --> 00:31:15,280
They would have done and wanted to be safe from whatever you were giving us and telling us, just save us.

389
00:31:15,360 --> 00:31:16,380
Just keep us safe.

390
00:31:16,660 --> 00:31:17,780
Tell us what we need to do.

391
00:31:17,880 --> 00:31:28,020
And there was so much guilt applied to people that even if you were one of those people, as I was, I did not like the idea of the vaccine.

392
00:31:28,140 --> 00:31:29,040
I didn't like it.

393
00:31:29,200 --> 00:31:38,880
And the fact is there was such a level of shame imposed on people that if you were one of those people, you don't care about other people.

394
00:31:38,880 --> 00:31:39,220
Right.

395
00:31:39,380 --> 00:31:39,700
Right.

396
00:31:39,700 --> 00:31:41,120
There was, there was a lot of that.

397
00:31:41,440 --> 00:31:44,020
Instead of saying, Oh my God, we don't know enough about this.

398
00:31:44,160 --> 00:31:44,260
Right.

399
00:31:44,480 --> 00:31:46,360
Or just letting people live their life.

400
00:31:46,440 --> 00:31:47,860
And your decision is your decision.

401
00:31:47,860 --> 00:31:48,160
Yeah.

402
00:31:48,340 --> 00:31:50,400
There was, and it became so politicized.

403
00:31:50,480 --> 00:31:52,320
It was all, it was very, it was tough time.

404
00:31:52,800 --> 00:32:04,440
But it was, and now I think hopefully what scared me in the initial aftermath, when things got better, it was like, everybody just wanted to move on.

405
00:32:04,820 --> 00:32:09,000
But that is something that the way it happened could so easily happen again.

406
00:32:09,460 --> 00:32:16,500
And that's why I think the book is important to really understand some of the stuff that went on with the news and studies and how it was presented.

407
00:32:16,700 --> 00:32:18,260
It's really, it's worthwhile.

408
00:32:18,660 --> 00:32:23,600
What I, what I found out, not found out as I got older, you realize, you know, you're wiser.

409
00:32:23,720 --> 00:32:29,520
Hopefully when we were younger and back in the day, you believed what you were told, right?

410
00:32:29,560 --> 00:32:30,840
The news was the news.

411
00:32:31,060 --> 00:32:32,580
It wasn't one-sided.

412
00:32:32,740 --> 00:32:33,840
It was just the news.

413
00:32:33,900 --> 00:32:36,640
We thought it could have been, but it didn't feel that way.

414
00:32:36,680 --> 00:32:38,320
It felt like here's the news.

415
00:32:38,420 --> 00:32:41,400
I'm going to tell you what happens, not what you had to think about.

416
00:32:41,600 --> 00:32:45,940
And I believe as we're still, that generation is still on this earth.

417
00:32:46,240 --> 00:32:48,480
We're still programmed like that.

418
00:32:48,800 --> 00:32:50,000
Believe what we just heard.

419
00:32:50,240 --> 00:32:58,380
Well, and with doctors, I think that shifted my parents' generation, your parents' generation, whatever a doctor said was like you, it was God talked.

420
00:32:58,460 --> 00:33:01,040
It was like, okay, it was go to church and go to your doctor.

421
00:33:01,220 --> 00:33:02,040
Yeah, that was it.

422
00:33:02,380 --> 00:33:04,820
You don't argue with, you don't argue with your pastor.

423
00:33:04,920 --> 00:33:05,940
You don't argue with your doctor.

424
00:33:06,120 --> 00:33:15,760
And now that sadly, I think, and that's one of the things in the book that they talk about is that there were so many doctors that were like, wait a minute, I'm doing this with patients and it's working.

425
00:33:15,940 --> 00:33:18,740
And they just got shut down, not listened to.

426
00:33:19,480 --> 00:33:21,380
But yeah, it's interesting.

427
00:33:21,620 --> 00:33:33,040
So when you come, when it bring it back to the podcast, when it comes to your child, you obviously want to do everything that you think the doctors and nurses and all these people, professionals are going, oh yeah, this is what we do.

428
00:33:33,080 --> 00:33:34,200
And this is what we've done.

429
00:33:34,280 --> 00:33:36,460
And this is what it's always going to do and blah, blah, blah, blah.

430
00:33:36,720 --> 00:33:41,160
And, and that's when you have to say, stop, let, this is my child, right?

431
00:33:41,220 --> 00:33:43,440
This is our, let me look into this.

432
00:33:43,740 --> 00:33:45,440
And most of the time it might be correct.

433
00:33:45,560 --> 00:33:49,300
Obviously, you know, 75%, 99% or whatever.

434
00:33:49,440 --> 00:33:50,420
I don't know what percentage it is.

435
00:33:50,660 --> 00:33:51,820
You're going to do what they say.

436
00:33:51,900 --> 00:33:59,260
And that's, but when you have a, when you, when you're thinking, oh, wait a minute, that doesn't, do we really need to, should we do that way?

437
00:33:59,340 --> 00:34:02,420
Or, you know, you shouldn't be hated for that thought.

438
00:34:02,680 --> 00:34:14,920
This is, this is one of the places where I do think there probably will be conflict between me and Kelly because Kelly has a lot of members of her family or medical professionals.

439
00:34:15,960 --> 00:34:19,639
Her tendency will be to do exactly what the doctors are recommending.

440
00:34:20,040 --> 00:34:20,520
Right.

441
00:34:20,520 --> 00:34:23,760
And I understand that she's, I'd say it all the time.

442
00:34:23,760 --> 00:34:24,659
She's a brilliant woman.

443
00:34:25,280 --> 00:34:26,639
And so it'll be difficult.

444
00:34:26,639 --> 00:34:29,820
Like I need to read more books so I can even be educated too.

445
00:34:29,880 --> 00:34:36,840
When you say no, if I'm going to push back when you say no, you want to be able to point at something substantive.

446
00:34:37,800 --> 00:34:41,360
So yeah, it's a scary thing because you got to make these decisions.

447
00:34:41,520 --> 00:34:52,900
And that's one of the other things in the book that they talk about because there are doctors right out there, pediatricians that if you don't take all, you don't take it, all of it, you, they won't, they won't go in there.

448
00:34:53,100 --> 00:34:53,620
You won't treat you.

449
00:34:53,820 --> 00:34:55,040
And then you find out.

450
00:34:55,040 --> 00:35:05,100
And one of the things they talk about in the book, the reason doctors do that, it's not that they have this passionate belief in some of these many untested things.

451
00:35:05,540 --> 00:35:16,720
What it is is that the, they are bonused by the pharmaceutical companies on having 100% of their population there on those, on, on those regimens.

452
00:35:16,960 --> 00:35:20,100
And if they lose one, their bonus goes down.

453
00:35:20,580 --> 00:35:24,900
And that, those are the things that make my hair on the back.

454
00:35:24,900 --> 00:35:27,280
And this applies to everything.

455
00:35:28,180 --> 00:35:28,800
Follow the money.

456
00:35:28,960 --> 00:35:29,200
Yeah.

457
00:35:29,320 --> 00:35:29,580
Yeah.

458
00:35:30,240 --> 00:35:30,680
Everything.

459
00:35:31,460 --> 00:35:36,900
Entertainment, you know, religion, whatever you put in there, follow that money.

460
00:35:36,980 --> 00:35:37,660
Where's what?

461
00:35:37,980 --> 00:35:39,020
And you'll find out.

462
00:35:39,320 --> 00:35:40,260
Oh, okay.

463
00:35:40,320 --> 00:35:41,180
I see where this is.

464
00:35:41,240 --> 00:35:42,220
It's not because they're passionate.

465
00:35:42,420 --> 00:35:42,780
Exactly.

466
00:35:42,880 --> 00:35:43,080
Yeah.

467
00:35:43,080 --> 00:35:44,200
Which is, which is sad.

468
00:35:44,420 --> 00:35:46,900
So, so Mike, thank you for having a good tip.

469
00:35:47,100 --> 00:35:49,100
So, and thank you for a good discussion here.

470
00:35:49,200 --> 00:35:49,820
Thank you for listening.

471
00:35:49,880 --> 00:35:50,880
Get a little good press.

472
00:35:51,920 --> 00:35:55,600
So we've been roughly, we've we've been a little unfair.

473
00:35:56,080 --> 00:36:03,660
The streets are calling his name, but I gotta say Mike, but but my sisters, I have to give them props.

474
00:36:04,020 --> 00:36:04,840
They're right there.

475
00:36:04,960 --> 00:36:05,540
Every episode.

476
00:36:05,840 --> 00:36:12,140
So I just, I just spoke to one of your sisters recently and she's like, I just love what you and Frankie are doing.

477
00:36:12,320 --> 00:36:12,900
And I'm like, thank you.

478
00:36:12,940 --> 00:36:13,540
We love it too.

479
00:36:13,640 --> 00:36:13,880
Yeah.

480
00:36:14,560 --> 00:36:18,560
So that was our, uh, we just did our wrap up from John Taylor.

481
00:36:19,000 --> 00:36:23,120
And that brings us into what just happened.

482
00:36:25,560 --> 00:36:28,260
Not a whole lot of crazy stuff, but we've got some stuff.

483
00:36:28,740 --> 00:36:36,680
So, um, last time we talked about Kelly took and we had our appointment, we had our scan, everything was good.

484
00:36:37,040 --> 00:36:44,140
She went and had another test, kind of the final scan, the fetal echocardiogram all good.

485
00:36:44,340 --> 00:36:50,700
But the glucose test that she took, the results came back and not good.

486
00:36:51,420 --> 00:36:54,420
So she did the, she drank the syrupy stuff.

487
00:36:54,520 --> 00:36:55,180
They took the blood.

488
00:36:55,240 --> 00:36:58,620
And when we went to that last appointment and came back high.

489
00:36:58,820 --> 00:37:05,580
So then what she had to do is go back and they do a more detailed test.

490
00:37:05,600 --> 00:37:13,240
So this one, she had to go in, she couldn't have anything, but like a little protein in the morning, she had to go in for her appointment.

491
00:37:13,580 --> 00:37:26,740
And then she was there for, I think, three hours and they tested multiple times while she, I guess, drank more of that stuff, but they took more detailed.

492
00:37:27,100 --> 00:37:35,880
So, cause they want to see not only what the numbers are, but how they change right from, from a fasted state to having some sugar.

493
00:37:36,000 --> 00:37:36,340
Sure.

494
00:37:36,800 --> 00:37:39,040
And so that was difficult.

495
00:37:39,880 --> 00:37:46,100
They did that a couple of days later, they, we get the results and she failed that test again.

496
00:37:46,760 --> 00:37:50,220
So could you remind us again what this test is showing?

497
00:37:50,400 --> 00:37:54,900
So this is the glucose test is basically for a gestational diabetes.

498
00:37:55,500 --> 00:37:56,760
So gotcha.

499
00:37:56,820 --> 00:38:07,800
The gestational diabetes, basically, I think for most people, it just, when that happens, it makes the baby get big, the baby gets fat, right?

500
00:38:08,160 --> 00:38:17,860
So the size of the, but it also has an impact on how, how far to term you get because of the size of the baby, how difficult birth is.

501
00:38:17,920 --> 00:38:20,960
So there's all kinds of reasons why they want to control that.

502
00:38:21,500 --> 00:38:25,740
So the way that, so she got the recommendations now.

503
00:38:25,740 --> 00:38:33,220
And initially I really thought I am, I'm one of the, this is one of the, one of those areas where my lovely wife and I differ.

504
00:38:33,720 --> 00:38:43,820
And that is, I do believe in, I think more so than she does the power of believing something is going to go a certain way, right?

505
00:38:44,120 --> 00:38:51,960
I think like if you believe you're going to take a blood test and you're going to, if you're going to fail it, you're going to fail it, right?

506
00:38:52,180 --> 00:38:55,400
Your thoughts are going to, your mind is very powerful.

507
00:38:55,600 --> 00:38:56,500
I, I, I do.

508
00:38:56,620 --> 00:39:02,500
I, I really believe that you're on that side of the street and she's much more on the very scientific side of the street.

509
00:39:02,740 --> 00:39:04,320
Like, no, that's not how this works.

510
00:39:04,680 --> 00:39:10,060
So which even when she took the second test, cause I'm looking at her, she doesn't, I see what she eats.

511
00:39:10,100 --> 00:39:15,780
She's not, she certainly is not, you know, diabetic or pre-diabetic normal.

512
00:39:16,160 --> 00:39:18,720
And she doesn't, she's not eating a bunch of sweets.

513
00:39:18,800 --> 00:39:20,320
She's not even eating a whole lot of carbs.

514
00:39:20,620 --> 00:39:22,200
She's eating fairly healthfully.

515
00:39:22,480 --> 00:39:25,040
So I don't, I'm thinking this is nonsense.

516
00:39:25,560 --> 00:39:28,640
So I'm like, again, I'm like, don't worry about it.

517
00:39:28,720 --> 00:39:45,340
So basically they put her on this protocol of she now has to get one of those glucose monitors and she's got to do a finger prick like in the morning when she gets up and then two hours after she eats throughout the day and she's making notes of the numbers.

518
00:39:46,320 --> 00:39:56,000
So the first day she gets the thing and they give you the little machine, you know, a little strip and then you have to do that, right?

519
00:39:56,000 --> 00:39:59,300
So she's trying to set up the little pricker thing.

520
00:39:59,960 --> 00:40:06,360
So of course, and there's another difference with me, I would be like, set it for the deepest thing and make sure it works.

521
00:40:06,360 --> 00:40:10,300
And then back on, she's trying it over and over again, not getting any blood.

522
00:40:10,500 --> 00:40:11,460
She's squeezing her.

523
00:40:11,560 --> 00:40:13,340
I'm like, oh, so it's like torture.

524
00:40:13,740 --> 00:40:14,760
It took her for a while.

525
00:40:15,340 --> 00:40:17,480
She gets it tests numbers.

526
00:40:17,660 --> 00:40:18,280
She's selling it.

527
00:40:18,320 --> 00:40:19,020
The numbers are low.

528
00:40:19,320 --> 00:40:19,980
The numbers are good.

529
00:40:20,340 --> 00:40:22,660
And I, I, I am remiss.

530
00:40:22,700 --> 00:40:24,800
I apologize to our listeners and viewers.

531
00:40:24,920 --> 00:40:26,940
I don't know what the numbers are supposed to be.

532
00:40:27,060 --> 00:40:32,760
I just know she's telling me, oh yeah, her numbers like in the morning, we're like, I think in the low nineties.

533
00:40:32,840 --> 00:40:32,960
Yeah.

534
00:40:33,400 --> 00:40:35,420
And I say this cause my parents do that.

535
00:40:35,620 --> 00:40:45,420
So that's why I said, I know that they're always doing it, but I think it's a different set of numbers that they're looking at for a, for her, but regardless, she's doing it.

536
00:40:45,540 --> 00:40:50,460
And every, every time she's testing, the numbers are under what she was expecting.

537
00:40:50,680 --> 00:40:53,200
And I'm thinking, I'm like, you know, why?

538
00:40:53,360 --> 00:40:59,120
Because you decided my mind said, so I'm like, you're not, I'm like, this is not a thing.

539
00:40:59,220 --> 00:41:01,480
So she's, she's going through and been doing it.

540
00:41:01,660 --> 00:41:12,940
And at some point she's, she'll, she will have an appointment and they will review that data and come up with plans and show that I'm not, that's I take the blood out.

541
00:41:13,180 --> 00:41:13,340
Yeah.

542
00:41:13,740 --> 00:41:16,680
When you go to take you, not your, no, not yours.

543
00:41:16,760 --> 00:41:17,340
Take that machine.

544
00:41:17,460 --> 00:41:20,400
You're, you're doing at home with the low numbers and bring that over there.

545
00:41:20,560 --> 00:41:24,120
And she's, she's noticed she's, she's makes a note of everything and she's got to give it.

546
00:41:24,220 --> 00:41:26,300
She's got to basically give them all that data.

547
00:41:26,680 --> 00:41:28,880
So we'll see how, how it goes.

548
00:41:28,940 --> 00:41:36,800
But that's where we are for now with the possible, I'm, I'm still not a believer, but possible gestational diabetes.

549
00:41:37,920 --> 00:41:40,260
And there's not been one reading that's been high.

550
00:41:41,420 --> 00:41:47,660
No, not higher than she would expect because she was, she's been basically like, well, if it's this low, I'll have a little bit more.

551
00:41:47,720 --> 00:41:49,200
Like she's having more carbs.

552
00:41:49,380 --> 00:41:51,060
She's not a sweets person, right?

553
00:41:51,100 --> 00:41:54,640
Even though he's all over the place because of the holiday, they're everywhere.

554
00:41:56,360 --> 00:41:56,760
Yeah.

555
00:41:57,080 --> 00:41:58,420
There was, there's a lot still.

556
00:41:58,740 --> 00:42:01,500
So yes, they are still there, but she, so yeah.

557
00:42:01,500 --> 00:42:04,520
So she's, I think, I think she's eating healthfully.

558
00:42:04,560 --> 00:42:05,920
Hopefully it's going to go the right way.

559
00:42:05,920 --> 00:42:06,260
Yeah.

560
00:42:06,280 --> 00:42:09,940
I would never look at Kelly and go, wow, she's got to control that.

561
00:42:10,280 --> 00:42:15,080
No, she's, she's been, she's, but it could be just because of the pregnancy and everything gets good.

562
00:42:15,420 --> 00:42:17,020
It has nothing to do with that.

563
00:42:17,040 --> 00:42:18,900
That is a food and all that good stuff.

564
00:42:18,960 --> 00:42:20,380
It could, it could be completely that.

565
00:42:20,520 --> 00:42:27,740
I know her mother with one, I think with Kelly's mom had a gestational diabetes with her younger brother.

566
00:42:27,920 --> 00:42:28,160
Okay.

567
00:42:28,360 --> 00:42:29,480
So it could be a family.

568
00:42:29,700 --> 00:42:32,000
This is not common, but this happens a lot.

569
00:42:32,100 --> 00:42:32,260
Yeah.

570
00:42:32,280 --> 00:42:33,160
A lot of women, a lot.

571
00:42:33,240 --> 00:42:35,040
So I think, yeah, it's very, very common.

572
00:42:35,320 --> 00:42:38,500
And you know, I, I think you deal with it.

573
00:42:38,540 --> 00:42:40,460
I mean, I don't think it's that big of a deal.

574
00:42:40,480 --> 00:42:44,520
I think it's like now they have such an understanding of all this stuff.

575
00:42:44,700 --> 00:42:54,720
They want everything in these very narrow tolerances when it comes to, you know, they keep it up on something that they can manipulate and control.

576
00:42:54,860 --> 00:42:55,800
Why not do it?

577
00:42:55,840 --> 00:42:56,080
Yeah.

578
00:42:56,700 --> 00:43:02,820
As we're talking about this, I'm just thinking about next week's, you were wrong and how many things we just talked about.

579
00:43:02,920 --> 00:43:03,120
Yep.

580
00:43:03,360 --> 00:43:04,140
That's going to be there.

581
00:43:04,280 --> 00:43:05,280
This whole medical thing.

582
00:43:05,420 --> 00:43:08,720
I can almost guarantee it in the last couple of seconds.

583
00:43:09,440 --> 00:43:13,240
Anytime I talk about anything where I'm like, Oh no, it's not nothing to worry about.

584
00:43:13,420 --> 00:43:15,580
I can't, I can't wait for that one to go.

585
00:43:15,860 --> 00:43:17,160
Oh, you silly men.

586
00:43:17,260 --> 00:43:18,900
You have that look to look forward to.

587
00:43:19,680 --> 00:43:20,080
Yeah.

588
00:43:20,180 --> 00:43:21,460
It's going to be, I'm sure.

589
00:43:21,980 --> 00:43:22,360
Absolutely.

590
00:43:22,760 --> 00:43:24,960
So, so there was that, there's that stuff.

591
00:43:25,020 --> 00:43:26,400
We'll find out more next week.

592
00:43:26,400 --> 00:43:32,640
I started, we're now at the point where I think this is adorable.

593
00:43:32,780 --> 00:43:36,620
It started with one of Kelly's cousins.

594
00:43:37,040 --> 00:43:41,720
I get a text message and it's like, Hey, I've got this play mat.

595
00:43:41,900 --> 00:43:43,400
I wasn't sure if you'd be interested.

596
00:43:43,540 --> 00:43:45,240
And I immediately, I'm like, you know what?

597
00:43:45,260 --> 00:43:49,120
I was just telling Kelly that my play mat's worn out and I need a new one.

598
00:43:49,260 --> 00:43:50,820
I'm like, come on, send it on.

599
00:43:51,280 --> 00:43:57,800
So we're starting so they show gathering things that people are like ready to start giving us stuff.

600
00:43:58,280 --> 00:44:02,640
So we had a holiday party and, and a bunch of family comes.

601
00:44:02,720 --> 00:44:03,360
It's always nice.

602
00:44:03,660 --> 00:44:10,240
And the, of course they show up with the play mat and all kind of like there's two boxes of stuff.

603
00:44:10,300 --> 00:44:10,880
It's very nice.

604
00:44:11,000 --> 00:44:20,120
And I think it's funny because you can see they're happy to do it because it's obviously they're being helpful and, and we're, we're grateful to get it.

605
00:44:20,140 --> 00:44:24,980
And there's also, I think a little bit of, thank God I got this out of the way.

606
00:44:27,820 --> 00:44:28,600
It's awesome.

607
00:44:28,860 --> 00:44:30,140
I'm like, I'm happy to do it.

608
00:44:30,140 --> 00:44:32,520
It's not in my house anymore.

609
00:44:33,120 --> 00:44:35,300
I'm already thinking like, wow, like we got a lot of room.

610
00:44:35,440 --> 00:44:36,260
That's absolutely.

611
00:44:36,680 --> 00:44:40,900
And they probably, they're like, I knew it.

612
00:44:41,180 --> 00:44:42,240
Oh, it's out.

613
00:44:42,700 --> 00:44:43,600
Someone needs it.

614
00:44:43,600 --> 00:44:46,580
No, it was, it's a double whammy for them.

615
00:44:46,640 --> 00:44:46,780
Yeah.

616
00:44:46,940 --> 00:44:49,820
They're happy to do it for you and they're happy to do it for them.

617
00:44:50,040 --> 00:44:50,240
Yeah.

618
00:44:50,640 --> 00:44:53,400
So I think that was a, and it was fun.

619
00:44:53,560 --> 00:44:57,940
Obviously it was fun to see everybody for that stuff, but yeah, so that's it.

620
00:44:57,980 --> 00:45:04,120
So a lot of still a lot of stuff, a lot of more, a lot more gifts from the registry up.

621
00:45:04,120 --> 00:45:08,740
We have upcoming in a couple of weeks, it'll be a Kelly's baby shower.

622
00:45:08,880 --> 00:45:10,080
So that's coming up.

623
00:45:10,240 --> 00:45:15,100
And then there's going to be one where her family is in Buffalo and then there'll be one here.

624
00:45:15,500 --> 00:45:15,600
Okay.

625
00:45:15,680 --> 00:45:19,040
So we've got those both coming up in the next few weeks.

626
00:45:19,540 --> 00:45:20,600
But that's going to be interesting.

627
00:45:20,860 --> 00:45:26,520
Do you have a section of the house yet for all the gifts that are going to go in like the garage or cause you're going to have a lot of stuff.

628
00:45:26,740 --> 00:45:42,600
I think what I'm thinking about is in our basement, just starting to identify an area that will be where all that stuff, because right now our tree is still up and it's all like there and it's, it's getting out of control.

629
00:45:43,180 --> 00:45:46,660
That was another thing that was also very nice from those same cousins.

630
00:45:47,560 --> 00:45:57,980
And it made me remember something strange that I did as a kid, but they got already a tricycle of a radio flyer.

631
00:45:58,060 --> 00:46:02,820
You can put that next to your sister-in-law's bench, the Barker lounger.

632
00:46:03,000 --> 00:46:03,160
Yeah.

633
00:46:03,300 --> 00:46:03,800
Yeah.

634
00:46:03,820 --> 00:46:06,940
We got that, but adorable, adorable little thing.

635
00:46:06,940 --> 00:46:09,120
And I don't know, but it made me think of this.

636
00:46:09,180 --> 00:46:17,020
I don't know why I did this as a kid and maybe other kids that did it, or maybe it's just a unique to my weird childhood.

637
00:46:17,560 --> 00:46:21,380
For some reason, when I was a kid, I would take my tricycle, I would flip it over.

638
00:46:21,760 --> 00:46:22,040
Okay.

639
00:46:22,640 --> 00:46:30,780
So the seat and the handlebars were on the ground and then you could grab the pedal on the wheel and I would crank the pedal.

640
00:46:31,280 --> 00:46:31,540
Okay.

641
00:46:31,800 --> 00:46:34,920
And in my head, I was making ice cream.

642
00:46:35,860 --> 00:46:36,280
Why?

643
00:46:38,280 --> 00:46:38,700
Why?

644
00:46:42,260 --> 00:46:43,320
I don't know why.

645
00:46:43,620 --> 00:46:44,140
This is your problem.

646
00:46:44,900 --> 00:46:45,540
This is, yeah.

647
00:46:45,600 --> 00:46:48,100
He said, if it was a child, it's not like they didn't have ice cream.

648
00:46:48,220 --> 00:46:49,140
I was making ice cream.

649
00:46:49,260 --> 00:46:52,700
Most kids would die for a bike.

650
00:46:52,840 --> 00:46:53,300
For a tricycle.

651
00:46:53,660 --> 00:46:54,300
Give me a tricycle.

652
00:46:54,640 --> 00:46:58,480
You go, I need that tricycle because I want to make ice cream.

653
00:46:58,820 --> 00:46:59,060
Yeah.

654
00:46:59,200 --> 00:46:59,860
I wanted to make it.

655
00:46:59,880 --> 00:47:02,180
That's what I did with my tricycle.

656
00:47:02,220 --> 00:47:03,100
I didn't make an ice cream.

657
00:47:03,320 --> 00:47:07,700
Where you're like, did you have like anything other than like you're, you're running a business?

658
00:47:07,900 --> 00:47:08,400
I don't know.

659
00:47:08,400 --> 00:47:09,500
You were gonna make ice cream for the kids.

660
00:47:09,720 --> 00:47:09,820
No.

661
00:47:09,820 --> 00:47:13,380
You're just happy enough just to make it.

662
00:47:13,600 --> 00:47:14,020
I don't know.

663
00:47:14,120 --> 00:47:19,500
Like part of me, part of me, as I think about this and I'm trying desperately to figure out why I would do that.

664
00:47:19,540 --> 00:47:20,240
Oh, that's so good.

665
00:47:20,620 --> 00:47:26,000
So our driveway was not, we didn't have a paved.

666
00:47:26,000 --> 00:47:26,440
We had rocks.

667
00:47:26,440 --> 00:47:34,380
We had run across because my dad, the, my dad, as we have discussed was a distributor for stalled door cookies.

668
00:47:34,700 --> 00:47:37,860
So we would have a tractor trailer show up and there was a warehouse.

669
00:47:38,000 --> 00:47:48,580
We had a, he had a like a 1300 square foot warehouse with a full bay door in the backyard, which was strange because we lived in a neighborhood, but there it is.

670
00:47:49,320 --> 00:47:50,520
So that was it.

671
00:47:50,520 --> 00:47:56,760
So we would have a tractor trailer show up once a week with commercial commercial things going through the residential.

672
00:47:56,760 --> 00:47:58,860
Our home was zoned commercial.

673
00:48:00,100 --> 00:48:01,300
That's why you got away with it.

674
00:48:01,420 --> 00:48:02,320
Yeah, that was it.

675
00:48:02,900 --> 00:48:05,760
So, but yeah, it was a great, it was a run across.

676
00:48:06,080 --> 00:48:07,300
You had to for the tractor trailer.

677
00:48:07,580 --> 00:48:09,260
So that was, that was it.

678
00:48:09,320 --> 00:48:13,420
So it wasn't like I was riding around on a tricycle in that go over the place.

679
00:48:13,700 --> 00:48:18,760
Sounds a lot better than what you would have also made it very hard to learn how to ride a bike.

680
00:48:19,880 --> 00:48:23,740
All the other kids are had a nice paper doing.

681
00:48:23,940 --> 00:48:24,120
Yeah.

682
00:48:24,160 --> 00:48:26,280
I'm falling down and then turning it over.

683
00:48:26,480 --> 00:48:27,960
I'll just make ice cream guys.

684
00:48:28,340 --> 00:48:28,780
Oh yeah.

685
00:48:28,900 --> 00:48:32,920
Oh, that's, that's funny because not to get personal, but you've kind of run an ice cream.

686
00:48:33,380 --> 00:48:38,060
I have, you have run an ice cream shop.

687
00:48:38,400 --> 00:48:41,700
So everything comes, you know how you said your mind makes things happen.

688
00:48:41,900 --> 00:48:50,060
So that moment when you think I constantly, my first job, a fit will know I worked, I did work at friendlies.

689
00:48:50,620 --> 00:48:55,500
I mean it wasn't my first, I had my paper, I had my paper route and then I worked at Williams making pizza.

690
00:48:55,680 --> 00:48:58,580
It's all about food and pizza.

691
00:48:58,740 --> 00:49:05,660
And then I worked at friendlies and then I recently owned kind of like a, a sweet frog knockoff, absolutely.

692
00:49:05,760 --> 00:49:09,380
Which I have now closed and got, but it's funny that I just remembered it.

693
00:49:09,840 --> 00:49:10,240
Yeah.

694
00:49:10,620 --> 00:49:12,060
That's truly ice cream.

695
00:49:12,140 --> 00:49:15,960
I mean, it was, it was only because of the love of ice cream since a kid.

696
00:49:16,240 --> 00:49:18,280
It was only because of friendlies that I met you.

697
00:49:18,760 --> 00:49:19,020
Yes.

698
00:49:19,380 --> 00:49:19,820
That was it.

699
00:49:20,400 --> 00:49:20,880
Yeah.

700
00:49:21,240 --> 00:49:21,600
Yeah.

701
00:49:21,620 --> 00:49:22,200
Cause she did.

702
00:49:22,420 --> 00:49:22,520
Yeah.

703
00:49:22,520 --> 00:49:28,940
Cause I met, I met my first girlfriend, Laura Pantello, whose brother is an avid listener.

704
00:49:29,040 --> 00:49:29,320
Yes.

705
00:49:29,840 --> 00:49:30,620
Dear friend of ours.

706
00:49:30,700 --> 00:49:30,940
Yes.

707
00:49:31,020 --> 00:49:35,060
Phil, Phil Pantello, brilliant, brilliant woodworker in Montana.

708
00:49:35,640 --> 00:49:38,720
Uh, Pantello furniture concepts.

709
00:49:38,720 --> 00:49:39,320
Look them up.

710
00:49:40,400 --> 00:49:40,760
Yeah.

711
00:49:40,800 --> 00:49:41,800
That was our first sponsor.

712
00:49:42,380 --> 00:49:44,040
Phil sent us the check.

713
00:49:44,140 --> 00:49:44,300
Yeah.

714
00:49:45,820 --> 00:49:47,060
I'd like a high chair.

715
00:49:47,840 --> 00:49:49,760
He went quarter sawn.

716
00:49:50,020 --> 00:49:50,160
Please.

717
00:49:50,260 --> 00:49:50,960
He wants a tricycle.

718
00:49:51,040 --> 00:49:59,960
He can turn around and make some ice cream with that has to be the next thumbnail ice cream coming out of a tricycle.

719
00:49:59,980 --> 00:50:00,720
I don't know why.

720
00:50:00,840 --> 00:50:01,180
Oh, that's good.

721
00:50:01,400 --> 00:50:01,840
There's more.

722
00:50:01,920 --> 00:50:02,340
There's more.

723
00:50:02,420 --> 00:50:06,980
I have another example of a weird thing I did as a kid now that has come out the next episode.

724
00:50:07,160 --> 00:50:08,000
I love when you do these.

725
00:50:08,160 --> 00:50:10,860
I can just, I'm always just picturing a little pudgy.

726
00:50:10,940 --> 00:50:12,960
Frank, that is just the best.

727
00:50:13,040 --> 00:50:14,340
Just what are you doing?

728
00:50:14,400 --> 00:50:15,140
I'm making ice cream.

729
00:50:16,140 --> 00:50:18,080
I just think of selfishly.

730
00:50:18,120 --> 00:50:19,680
I think of my wife listening to this.

731
00:50:19,900 --> 00:50:25,140
And then when you say these things, you just start to burst because she has no idea you're going to say what you just said.

732
00:50:25,280 --> 00:50:27,180
So I love, I love that.

733
00:50:27,540 --> 00:50:28,160
This is all for you, Trina.

734
00:50:28,260 --> 00:50:30,280
This whole podcast is for our wives.

735
00:50:30,940 --> 00:50:32,960
Even if it was true, it would be worth it.

736
00:50:33,540 --> 00:50:34,540
But it's funny.

737
00:50:34,840 --> 00:50:39,960
So anyway, thank you once again for making it all the way to the end.

738
00:50:40,040 --> 00:50:46,940
And I'm sure we will have more sad stories from my childhood to talk about.

739
00:50:47,200 --> 00:50:48,960
You know what, Frank, let's go get some ice cream.

740
00:50:49,380 --> 00:50:49,900
Okay.

741
00:50:51,400 --> 00:50:52,260
This is good.

742
00:50:52,620 --> 00:50:54,560
I never get ice cream after the show.

743
00:50:54,560 --> 00:50:55,860
Let's take our bikes there.

744
00:50:55,940 --> 00:50:56,300
Okay.

745
00:50:56,620 --> 00:50:57,060
Yeah.

746
00:50:57,180 --> 00:50:57,640
Oh boy.

747
00:50:58,140 --> 00:50:58,540
Okay.

748
00:50:58,640 --> 00:50:59,300
Thanks very much.

749
00:51:06,620 --> 00:51:10,900
