And he's a little timid, so he'll 20 00:00:51,600 --> 00:00:55,440 Speaker 1: step slowly toward me, but he'll hang his face about 21 00:00:55,480 --> 00:00:58,640 Speaker 1: six inches from my face, and I just scratch and 22 00:00:58,680 --> 00:01:01,640 Speaker 1: scratch and he is just an doggy heaven.

Maybe he's 28 00:01:14,240 --> 00:01:15,319 Speaker 1: not a cuddler. 29 00:01:15,360 --> 00:01:18,520 Speaker 4: Because he had like other owners before you, right, so 30 00:01:18,560 --> 00:01:20,000 Speaker 4: maybe he used to not be able to be on 31 00:01:20,080 --> 00:01:20,479 Speaker 4: the couch. 32 00:01:21,280 --> 00:01:23,119 Speaker 1: He helped himself to the couch pretty quick. 33 00:01:23,120 --> 00:01:26,480 Speaker 4: He's he's got three spots. 34 00:01:26,520 --> 00:01:30,080 Speaker 1: He's got his bed, he's got the living room floor, 35 00:01:30,120 --> 00:01:32,039 Speaker 1: which he is just fine with, and then he's got 36 00:01:32,040 --> 00:01:34,280 Speaker 1: his spot on the couch, which is the other opposite 37 00:01:34,400 --> 00:01:36,960 Speaker 1: end of the couch, and he'll lay there and put 38 00:01:36,959 --> 00:01:39,320 Speaker 1: his head on the pillow and it's so cute. But 39 00:01:39,360 --> 00:01:42,319 Speaker 1: he's not a cuddler, and Josie wasn't really a cuddler either. 40 00:01:42,680 --> 00:01:44,520 Speaker 1: I'd like a dog that would like lay down next 41 00:01:44,560 --> 00:01:46,119 Speaker 1: to me and like, you know, want to feel warm 42 00:01:46,160 --> 00:01:47,280 Speaker 1: and put their head on my leg. 43 00:01:47,520 --> 00:01:50,120 Speaker 4: That's my favorite thing, is the like the weight of 44 00:01:50,200 --> 00:01:53,760 Speaker 4: the animal and then just feeling warm right where they're sitting. 45 00:01:53,840 --> 00:01:56,760 Speaker 5: Yeah, I love the best The old dog that I 46 00:01:56,800 --> 00:02:00,800 Speaker 5: had had was Mickey, and Mickey was her old age. 47 00:02:00,880 --> 00:02:03,120 Speaker 5: All she did was lay on the couch and cuddle, 48 00:02:03,640 --> 00:02:04,880 Speaker 5: so it was the best thing. 49 00:02:04,880 --> 00:02:05,120 Speaker 3: Ever. 50 00:02:05,200 --> 00:02:07,840 Speaker 5: So when I started watching dogs and like they didn't 51 00:02:07,840 --> 00:02:09,680 Speaker 5: even want to come on the coach, I was like, 52 00:02:10,120 --> 00:02:10,639 Speaker 5: what kind. 53 00:02:10,480 --> 00:02:11,600 Speaker 2: Of weird dog are you? 54 00:02:11,680 --> 00:02:11,760 Speaker 1: Like? 55 00:02:11,800 --> 00:02:13,320 Speaker 3: Why would you not want to be on the coach? 56 00:02:13,360 --> 00:02:14,600 Speaker 3: It's way comfier than the floor. 57 00:02:14,680 --> 00:02:15,280 Speaker 2: Yeah, you're doing. 58 00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:18,960 Speaker 5: But like some owners obviously don't let their animals on couches, 59 00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:21,280 Speaker 5: Like there are two dogs I watch that at their home. 60 00:02:21,560 --> 00:02:24,160 Speaker 5: The dogs aren't allowed on furniture, but they were like, 61 00:02:24,160 --> 00:02:26,000 Speaker 5: if you let them on furniture, you can. And now 62 00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:27,839 Speaker 5: I feel like I'm teaching them bad habits because I'm 63 00:02:27,880 --> 00:02:29,880 Speaker 5: always like, get on the furniture, Get here. 64 00:02:30,160 --> 00:02:32,519 Speaker 3: They're like the best cuddlers ever, co it's no cool. 65 00:02:32,800 --> 00:02:35,160 Speaker 1: One thing that we were very careful with with Bernie 66 00:02:35,280 --> 00:02:37,680 Speaker 1: is not give him people food so he won't beg 67 00:02:38,080 --> 00:02:41,359 Speaker 1: Because I about halfway through Josie's life as my other dog, 68 00:02:41,440 --> 00:02:44,360 Speaker 1: she lived to be sixteen. I taught her how to 69 00:02:44,400 --> 00:02:47,360 Speaker 1: beg by giving her people food about halfway through her life. 70 00:02:47,520 --> 00:02:49,800 Speaker 1: Whenever we would eat, she would sit there and beg 71 00:02:49,880 --> 00:02:53,720 Speaker 1: and wag her tail and sometimes whimper a little, and 72 00:02:53,760 --> 00:02:55,640 Speaker 1: then afterwards she'd always get to lick the plate. So 73 00:02:55,639 --> 00:02:57,560 Speaker 1: if you have like a plate of spaghetti or meat loaft, 74 00:02:57,560 --> 00:03:00,440 Speaker 1: she would get to lick the plate. And Bernie doesn't 75 00:03:00,480 --> 00:03:03,360 Speaker 1: even notice when we eat. And I really prefer that, 76 00:03:03,400 --> 00:03:05,560 Speaker 1: because it was kind of annoying to watch Josie sit 77 00:03:05,639 --> 00:03:09,280 Speaker 1: there awaiting a little morsel of chicken that. 78 00:03:10,840 --> 00:03:11,560 Speaker 2: Daddy eats. 79 00:03:11,720 --> 00:03:12,720 Speaker 3: Josie eats, I. 80 00:03:12,880 --> 00:03:15,560 Speaker 1: Did because she was my buddy, and I always you 81 00:03:15,680 --> 00:03:17,720 Speaker 1: remember that, and that's so true. I always thought, if 82 00:03:17,760 --> 00:03:21,799 Speaker 1: I'm eating, she gets to eat too. So I regret. 83 00:03:21,919 --> 00:03:24,000 Speaker 1: I don't regret that, I guess, but I'm really happy 84 00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:26,679 Speaker 1: that Bernie doesn't beat. All right, speaking of food, Jannita's 85 00:03:26,720 --> 00:03:30,480 Speaker 1: clarifying cows ass. Now, remember yesterday she's talking about how 86 00:03:30,520 --> 00:03:32,880 Speaker 1: she doesn't like chitlins, and chitlins are gross because it's 87 00:03:32,880 --> 00:03:35,360 Speaker 1: pig intestines, and then she talked about how well they'll 88 00:03:35,360 --> 00:03:39,000 Speaker 1: eat cows ass. She says just wrote in she says, 89 00:03:39,040 --> 00:03:41,640 Speaker 1: I'm clarifying, Dave. When I said cow's ass, I meant 90 00:03:41,720 --> 00:03:44,720 Speaker 1: rump roast. My family calls it cows ass because they 91 00:03:44,720 --> 00:03:48,280 Speaker 1: are fucking hood rats. She says hello. Well, like I say, 92 00:03:48,320 --> 00:03:51,600 Speaker 1: they try to compare eating chitlins to rump roast cows ass, 93 00:03:51,600 --> 00:03:54,400 Speaker 1: but there's no comparison. Aunt Bella and Uncle Theodore are 94 00:03:54,440 --> 00:04:00,920 Speaker 1: just fucking disgusting. We love you, wan Nita. Secretary Brie 95 00:04:00,960 --> 00:04:04,600 Speaker 1: writes in, and she says, first of all, Boo Bash 96 00:04:04,720 --> 00:04:06,040 Speaker 1: was so much fun. I hope you didn't mind me 97 00:04:06,080 --> 00:04:09,600 Speaker 1: toting around like your photography assistant while I waited for 98 00:04:09,640 --> 00:04:12,120 Speaker 1: my bestie to arrive. No, not at all. A few 99 00:04:12,120 --> 00:04:14,000 Speaker 1: people asked and figured out who I was and wanted 100 00:04:14,040 --> 00:04:17,280 Speaker 1: a photo with me. That felt awkward af but so 101 00:04:17,440 --> 00:04:19,640 Speaker 1: fun at the same time, Like what people know? Whose 102 00:04:19,680 --> 00:04:23,240 Speaker 1: secretary Bri is? Even Janita? Yeay, we finally met. She 103 00:04:23,400 --> 00:04:25,640 Speaker 1: said she knew me because of my height, because Brie 104 00:04:25,680 --> 00:04:27,080 Speaker 1: is like six foot two. Yeah. 105 00:04:27,120 --> 00:04:27,680 Speaker 3: Nice tall. 106 00:04:28,520 --> 00:04:31,520 Speaker 1: Second, I had the day from hell on Sunday and 107 00:04:31,520 --> 00:04:33,560 Speaker 1: feel like you guys need to hear about it. I 108 00:04:33,600 --> 00:04:36,520 Speaker 1: did not need the extra hour. Youngest kids started barely 109 00:04:36,560 --> 00:04:40,440 Speaker 1: midnight after midnight barfing. Then at hockey, older kid ended 110 00:04:40,520 --> 00:04:42,880 Speaker 1: up in the er with four stitches in his chin. 111 00:04:43,560 --> 00:04:45,839 Speaker 1: But I'm not done yet, because the younger child continued 112 00:04:45,880 --> 00:04:48,880 Speaker 1: to crumble and ended up in urgent care testing positive 113 00:04:48,960 --> 00:04:51,920 Speaker 1: or strap throat. It was my least favorite day ever, 114 00:04:51,960 --> 00:04:54,919 Speaker 1: but can always get worse. So this prompts the question, Dave, 115 00:04:55,480 --> 00:04:57,120 Speaker 1: which of your kids, if any, were the first to 116 00:04:57,160 --> 00:05:01,359 Speaker 1: get stitches slash hurt? And why? And did you assume 117 00:05:01,360 --> 00:05:03,800 Speaker 1: it would happen? What I mean is I would have 118 00:05:03,880 --> 00:05:06,400 Speaker 1: bet all my money that my little ash ash I 119 00:05:06,440 --> 00:05:09,320 Speaker 1: think his name is Ashton. She calls him Ashhole. Yeah, 120 00:05:09,720 --> 00:05:11,640 Speaker 1: And I hope I got Ashton right, but I'm not 121 00:05:11,680 --> 00:05:13,760 Speaker 1: sure I thought he would be my first kid to 122 00:05:13,760 --> 00:05:16,359 Speaker 1: get stitches. I was wrong. It was my careful older 123 00:05:16,440 --> 00:05:20,520 Speaker 1: one via complete accident. Jenny Bailey not leaving you out, 124 00:05:20,520 --> 00:05:22,760 Speaker 1: How did you or your sisters get injured as a child? 125 00:05:23,160 --> 00:05:27,120 Speaker 1: Who was the first sibling with stitches? I'll just go 126 00:05:27,160 --> 00:05:30,560 Speaker 1: ahead and answer really quickly. Carson loved Legos and one 127 00:05:30,640 --> 00:05:32,040 Speaker 1: day I was down in the basement on the phone 128 00:05:32,040 --> 00:05:35,760 Speaker 1: talking to Brentley. Carson's upstairs. He's about nine years old, 129 00:05:35,800 --> 00:05:38,520 Speaker 1: and he tries to open Legos with scissors. Now, if 130 00:05:38,560 --> 00:05:40,960 Speaker 1: you imagine just you're like holding the box of Legos 131 00:05:40,960 --> 00:05:43,560 Speaker 1: in your left hand and you're slicing with your right hand. 132 00:05:43,839 --> 00:05:47,560 Speaker 1: He sliced right where between your watch band and the 133 00:05:47,640 --> 00:05:51,560 Speaker 1: joint of your thumb, right around there, spliced it really deep, 134 00:05:51,560 --> 00:05:55,159 Speaker 1: and he's like God, and I'm like, Brentley, I gotta go. 135 00:05:55,360 --> 00:05:57,480 Speaker 1: Ran upstairs, looked at it. I'm like, oh, that's serious. 136 00:05:57,520 --> 00:06:00,160 Speaker 1: I wrap a towel around it, and then I thought 137 00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:02,080 Speaker 1: for a second, maybe it's not that bad. Maybe, And 138 00:06:02,120 --> 00:06:06,719 Speaker 1: then I looked again and it was deep, and I said, yeah, 139 00:06:06,760 --> 00:06:09,640 Speaker 1: you're luckily he didn't hit any vans or arteries. And 140 00:06:09,680 --> 00:06:11,240 Speaker 1: I said, you're going to get stitches. He got like 141 00:06:11,320 --> 00:06:14,719 Speaker 1: stitches inside and outside. And that's the only kid that 142 00:06:14,760 --> 00:06:18,640 Speaker 1: I know that's ever gotten stitches. Yeah, I mean only 143 00:06:18,720 --> 00:06:20,839 Speaker 1: kid of mine.

We didn't do 149 00:06:30,240 --> 00:06:34,320 Speaker 4: anything hard sports. I did trip and fall in kindergarten 150 00:06:34,920 --> 00:06:37,799 Speaker 4: on like a wet floor and cut like right above 151 00:06:37,839 --> 00:06:41,599 Speaker 4: my eye open on a table and I went to 152 00:06:41,640 --> 00:06:44,080 Speaker 4: the er to get stitches, and then they were like, nah, 153 00:06:44,080 --> 00:06:45,960 Speaker 4: you're good, but I still have the scar from it. 154 00:06:46,800 --> 00:06:48,560 Speaker 2: So you could see it if you're up close to. 155 00:06:48,600 --> 00:06:50,600 Speaker 1: See a little bit. Yeah, a little bit, okay, but. 156 00:06:50,520 --> 00:06:53,440 Speaker 2: That's the only stitches situation, and I didn't get them. 157 00:06:54,240 --> 00:06:55,920 Speaker 3: I was the child who hurt myself. 158 00:06:56,480 --> 00:06:59,479 Speaker 5: I was the kid who stereotypically jumped on the bed 159 00:06:59,520 --> 00:07:00,479 Speaker 5: and fell off. 160 00:07:00,320 --> 00:07:01,040 Speaker 3: And hit her head. 161 00:07:01,520 --> 00:07:04,560 Speaker 5: Literally, I cracked my head open and had to go 162 00:07:04,560 --> 00:07:06,280 Speaker 5: get I got staples. 163 00:07:05,720 --> 00:07:06,840 Speaker 3: Not stitches in my head. 164 00:07:07,360 --> 00:07:10,040 Speaker 5: And then I also was into skateboarding for a little bit, 165 00:07:10,160 --> 00:07:13,200 Speaker 5: hit a bump one time, flipped off, landed on my shoulder. 166 00:07:13,560 --> 00:07:15,320 Speaker 5: I didn't break anything, but I had to be in 167 00:07:15,360 --> 00:07:17,800 Speaker 5: a sling for like six weeks. Whoa. It was cute 168 00:07:17,800 --> 00:07:19,600 Speaker 5: because my grandma also had a sling at the time, 169 00:07:19,640 --> 00:07:21,880 Speaker 5: so we would like have our slings together or whatever. 170 00:07:22,840 --> 00:07:23,440 Speaker 2: So I did that. 171 00:07:23,520 --> 00:07:25,760 Speaker 5: And then I mean, in my older age, I did 172 00:07:25,920 --> 00:07:29,360 Speaker 5: break many bones in my wrist area when I snowboarded, 173 00:07:29,400 --> 00:07:31,000 Speaker 5: and now I have a metal plate in that wrist. 174 00:07:31,080 --> 00:07:34,520 Speaker 5: So yeah, I wouldn't say I amn accident prone, but 175 00:07:34,600 --> 00:07:37,960 Speaker 5: I do a little more adventurous things than I probably should, 176 00:07:38,480 --> 00:07:39,760 Speaker 5: and I should have taken. 177 00:07:39,520 --> 00:07:40,040 Speaker 3: A step back. 178 00:07:40,400 --> 00:07:41,680 Speaker 2: You live your life on the edge. 179 00:07:41,840 --> 00:07:48,480 Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, next one, Hello, favorite morning crew. I've 180 00:07:48,480 --> 00:07:50,840 Speaker 1: got a sad story to share. Bear with me, it's 181 00:07:50,920 --> 00:07:54,160 Speaker 1: a little bit long. My youngest brother. My youngest brother 182 00:07:55,080 --> 00:07:57,840 Speaker 1: recently had his first breakup. He's sixteen. It was his 183 00:07:57,880 --> 00:08:00,760 Speaker 1: first ever relationship, and even though they only dated for 184 00:08:00,800 --> 00:08:03,920 Speaker 1: a few weeks, boy did this crush him. He's a 185 00:08:04,040 --> 00:08:06,720 Speaker 1: quiet kid, doesn't share his feelings much or even talk 186 00:08:06,760 --> 00:08:09,400 Speaker 1: a whole lot, at least to me. But with this girl, 187 00:08:09,440 --> 00:08:12,000 Speaker 1: he was just smitten. I thought it was so sweet. 188 00:08:12,080 --> 00:08:14,280 Speaker 1: He even went out and bought a whole new outfit 189 00:08:14,360 --> 00:08:17,320 Speaker 1: to wear on their first date. He told her mom, 190 00:08:17,320 --> 00:08:19,120 Speaker 1: I'm not going to he told our mom, I'm not 191 00:08:19,160 --> 00:08:21,760 Speaker 1: going to do anything to mess this up. Fast forward 192 00:08:21,800 --> 00:08:24,080 Speaker 1: a few weeks after that first date. I'm cutting his hair. 193 00:08:24,120 --> 00:08:26,240 Speaker 1: He says to me that he thinks he got friend zoned. 194 00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:29,560 Speaker 1: At first, I couldn't tell how he really felt about it, 195 00:08:29,920 --> 00:08:32,120 Speaker 1: and I said before, he's a quiet kid, doesn't share much. 196 00:08:32,160 --> 00:08:34,760 Speaker 1: I went to look at the sides of his haircut 197 00:08:34,800 --> 00:08:36,800 Speaker 1: to see if they were even, and I saw the 198 00:08:36,880 --> 00:08:39,600 Speaker 1: tears building up in his eyes. He stood up to 199 00:08:39,600 --> 00:08:41,480 Speaker 1: go check the haircut and he said, hey, come here. 200 00:08:42,240 --> 00:08:42,400 Speaker 4: Oh. 201 00:08:42,440 --> 00:08:44,120 Speaker 1: I said, hey, come here, and I hugged him and 202 00:08:44,120 --> 00:08:47,199 Speaker 1: he just lost it. He literally wept in my arms, 203 00:08:47,200 --> 00:08:51,000 Speaker 1: and oh did it just crush my older sister heart. 204 00:08:51,240 --> 00:08:53,920 Speaker 1: I remember the feeling, especially the very first time it happens, 205 00:08:53,960 --> 00:08:57,080 Speaker 1: and breakups really never get easier. But boy, did it 206 00:08:57,280 --> 00:08:59,559 Speaker 1: just take me right back. But it was hard in 207 00:08:59,640 --> 00:09:02,199 Speaker 1: a different way because this time I'm watching my sweet 208 00:09:02,240 --> 00:09:05,160 Speaker 1: little brother go through what to him is a very 209 00:09:05,200 --> 00:09:08,160 Speaker 1: foreign pain. Of course, I told him he's going to 210 00:09:08,200 --> 00:09:11,200 Speaker 1: be okay, and I'm always here for him anyway. He's 211 00:09:11,200 --> 00:09:13,080 Speaker 1: doing betters now his weeks have gone by. But that 212 00:09:13,160 --> 00:09:16,160 Speaker 1: part of life that's just tough, no matter what age 213 00:09:16,200 --> 00:09:19,560 Speaker 1: you are. That's my sweet, sad story. Love you guys, Sammy. 214 00:09:19,960 --> 00:09:23,360 Speaker 1: I teared up a little bit reading that. I remember 215 00:09:24,120 --> 00:09:26,600 Speaker 1: Alison broke up with a boyfriend around that age and 216 00:09:26,640 --> 00:09:30,400 Speaker 1: she was just devastated. And then I have a good 217 00:09:30,400 --> 00:09:33,640 Speaker 1: friend mel and she's got a daughter who's sixteen or seventeen, 218 00:09:33,679 --> 00:09:36,520 Speaker 1: and she got broke broken up with and she was 219 00:09:36,559 --> 00:09:40,240 Speaker 1: also devastated. The interesting thing about breakups at that age 220 00:09:40,320 --> 00:09:44,000 Speaker 1: is they usually you recover pretty quickly because you probably 221 00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:46,040 Speaker 1: haven't gone out that long and you're still so young, 222 00:09:46,400 --> 00:09:48,040 Speaker 1: and it's not like, no, I'm never going to find 223 00:09:48,040 --> 00:09:51,120 Speaker 1: anybody again. You know, you break up, you know, my god, 224 00:09:51,160 --> 00:09:54,640 Speaker 1: if you break up at like my age, it's really 225 00:09:54,880 --> 00:09:57,000 Speaker 1: it's got to be very tough, you know. Or you 226 00:09:57,080 --> 00:09:58,760 Speaker 1: break up and you're thirty four, you've been married for 227 00:09:58,800 --> 00:10:00,760 Speaker 1: a while, it's got to be very tough. 228 00:10:00,800 --> 00:10:01,960 Speaker 2: When you're sixteen. 229 00:10:02,120 --> 00:10:05,640 Speaker 4: That's like your whole life, and that's I think that's 230 00:10:05,800 --> 00:10:08,520 Speaker 4: very unique to like teenagers. So obviously it's going to 231 00:10:08,559 --> 00:10:11,560 Speaker 4: feel like his whole world is like crumbled because he 232 00:10:11,600 --> 00:10:15,720 Speaker 4: doesn't he hasn't like built a world outside of high school. 233 00:10:15,880 --> 00:10:19,640 Speaker 4: This relationship and like extracurricular activities is family or whatever. 234 00:10:20,240 --> 00:10:23,200 Speaker 4: So I totally get that he's really sad. And it's 235 00:10:23,200 --> 00:10:25,360 Speaker 4: hard to like explain to them, like, hey, this isn't 236 00:10:25,360 --> 00:10:28,400 Speaker 4: the end of the world, like five years from now, 237 00:10:28,880 --> 00:10:30,080 Speaker 4: this will feel like nothing. 238 00:10:30,120 --> 00:10:31,439 Speaker 2: But it's hard to like, you know. 239 00:10:31,440 --> 00:10:33,560 Speaker 1: Give that advice. It is so true. It's like you'll 240 00:10:33,600 --> 00:10:36,000 Speaker 1: get over it, because that sounds like you're diminishing how 241 00:10:36,000 --> 00:10:38,320 Speaker 1: they feel. Yeah, but it's so true, you'll get it 242 00:10:38,360 --> 00:10:39,520 Speaker 1: over it, over it so fast. 243 00:10:39,559 --> 00:10:42,040 Speaker 4: I just let them let them feel their feelings as 244 00:10:42,120 --> 00:10:42,839 Speaker 4: much as they want to. 245 00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:45,240 Speaker 5: I never got heartbroken in high school. Really, I was 246 00:10:45,280 --> 00:10:48,520 Speaker 5: probably the heartbreaker. But yeah, in older age, it still 247 00:10:48,800 --> 00:10:49,600 Speaker 5: fucking sucks. 248 00:10:49,800 --> 00:10:53,960 Speaker 3: So I'm your old age. I don't wish it upon anyone. 249 00:10:54,280 --> 00:10:56,000 Speaker 1: No, it is really hard, and I've heard it's harder 250 00:10:56,040 --> 00:10:57,880 Speaker 1: on men than it is on women. And I think 251 00:10:57,880 --> 00:11:01,120 Speaker 1: it's because women usually have a larger social circle and 252 00:11:01,160 --> 00:11:03,200 Speaker 1: people they can talk to and go out and be 253 00:11:03,480 --> 00:11:06,000 Speaker 1: you know, distracted for lack of a better word, and 254 00:11:06,040 --> 00:11:08,040 Speaker 1: a lot of the men they really don't and they 255 00:11:08,040 --> 00:11:09,400 Speaker 1: don't have a guy. They have a guy that they 256 00:11:09,440 --> 00:11:12,000 Speaker 1: play pool with and drink with. But you're not going 257 00:11:12,080 --> 00:11:15,560 Speaker 1: to be like Carl, I got to tell you how 258 00:11:15,600 --> 00:11:16,400 Speaker 1: bad it hurts. 259 00:11:16,520 --> 00:11:18,200 Speaker 2: But they should. They should do that. 260 00:11:18,400 --> 00:11:23,160 Speaker 1: Yeah, they should, but sometimes they don't. And I think 261 00:11:23,200 --> 00:11:25,400 Speaker 1: that was all. Oh, just a quick, cute little story. 262 00:11:25,440 --> 00:11:27,440 Speaker 1: You talked about your brother going out to buy a 263 00:11:27,440 --> 00:11:30,120 Speaker 1: new outfit for their first date. I remember one of 264 00:11:30,120 --> 00:11:32,240 Speaker 1: the sweetest things that I saw with Alison. She had 265 00:11:32,240 --> 00:11:35,120 Speaker 1: a little boyfriend, I think his name was Alan, I think, 266 00:11:35,520 --> 00:11:39,240 Speaker 1: and Alan really liked her. So Alan, at sixteen or so, 267 00:11:39,720 --> 00:11:42,720 Speaker 1: went out to buy Alison a present, and he bought 268 00:11:42,760 --> 00:11:45,800 Speaker 1: her a little clock, and it was the kind of 269 00:11:45,800 --> 00:11:48,160 Speaker 1: clock that you would get at things remembered where it 270 00:11:48,200 --> 00:11:50,840 Speaker 1: was kind of like decorative and you know, functional, but 271 00:11:50,920 --> 00:11:54,920 Speaker 1: more decorative, not practical. And I thought, man, that's so 272 00:11:55,120 --> 00:11:57,400 Speaker 1: fucking cute and sweet that this kid went out and 273 00:11:57,440 --> 00:12:00,360 Speaker 1: you walked around the mall until he found something that 274 00:12:00,440 --> 00:12:02,160 Speaker 1: he thought. And it almost brings a tear to my 275 00:12:02,200 --> 00:12:04,520 Speaker 1: eye because I think of that little kid's sixteen year 276 00:12:04,559 --> 00:12:07,840 Speaker 1: old heart looking for something that he thought Allison would 277 00:12:07,880 --> 00:12:08,280 Speaker 1: really like. 278 00:12:08,360 --> 00:12:09,560 Speaker 2: Mm hmm, that's sweet. 279 00:12:09,679 --> 00:12:16,280 Speaker 1: Yeah, oh I like that. Yeah, let's see here. I 280 00:12:16,320 --> 00:12:18,720 Speaker 1: want to make sure that I don't read the same one. 281 00:12:19,559 --> 00:12:22,880 Speaker 1: Hold on one second. Here we go, Hello fam, and 282 00:12:22,880 --> 00:12:24,840 Speaker 1: then he's in a winki face and a vomit emoji 283 00:12:24,840 --> 00:12:27,240 Speaker 1: because we don't like the word fam. I hope you're 284 00:12:27,280 --> 00:12:30,400 Speaker 1: recovering from boobash.

Truly fabulous the anxious generation. If you're 296 00:13:03,200 --> 00:13:05,640 Speaker 1: a parent with kids still at home, this is a 297 00:13:05,760 --> 00:13:08,400 Speaker 1: must read about what cell phones and social media are 298 00:13:08,480 --> 00:13:12,160 Speaker 1: doing to the young developing brain. Not an easy book, 299 00:13:12,200 --> 00:13:14,720 Speaker 1: but incredibly important for us parents to read the studies 300 00:13:14,760 --> 00:13:17,920 Speaker 1: about how damaging these tools are for the kids.
