<v Speaker 1>You said Smith is starting school today.

0:00:09.280 --> 0:00:11.760
<v Speaker 3>Smith is starting second grade today.

0:00:12.039 --> 0:00:14.040
<v Speaker 2>It's probably good that he's going back to school. He's

0:00:14.040 --> 0:00:15.640
<v Speaker 2>got a lot of energy in that, doesn't it.

0:00:15.720 --> 0:00:16.840
<v Speaker 3>I tell you something.

0:00:17.079 --> 0:00:21.240
<v Speaker 4>On Saturday night, my entire family went out to celebrate

0:00:21.239 --> 0:00:25.360
<v Speaker 4>my sister Jacqueline's birthday. And just so I can paint

0:00:25.360 --> 0:00:27.520
<v Speaker 4>the picture to you and maybe you've been to this place.

0:00:27.560 --> 0:00:31.520
<v Speaker 4>There's a newer restaurant here in Michigan in Birmingham specifically

0:00:31.560 --> 0:00:35.400
<v Speaker 4>called Tara. Great place by the way, absolutely phenomenal food.

0:00:35.440 --> 0:00:36.680
<v Speaker 4>Love it, so a huge shout out to them.

0:00:36.720 --> 0:00:37.599
<v Speaker 1>What kind of food is it?

0:00:37.640 --> 0:00:38.640
<v Speaker 5>So they kind of have a.

0:00:38.600 --> 0:00:39.479
<v Speaker 3>Little bit of everything.

0:00:39.560 --> 0:00:42.839
<v Speaker 4>I mean you can get like pasta, you can get steak,

0:00:42.920 --> 0:00:46.600
<v Speaker 4>you can get like crispy rice, you can get like

0:00:46.680 --> 0:00:48.720
<v Speaker 4>a little bit of everything. And everything I've had there

0:00:48.800 --> 0:00:53.400
<v Speaker 4>is very very good. So it's one of those places

0:00:53.479 --> 0:00:56.280
<v Speaker 4>that is very viby. So it's got the restaurant with

0:00:56.320 --> 0:00:58.840
<v Speaker 4>a lot of tables and booths and stuff, and then

0:00:58.880 --> 0:01:01.280
<v Speaker 4>they have the front of the restaurant has those I

0:01:01.280 --> 0:01:03.320
<v Speaker 4>don't know if it's windows or doors that open all

0:01:03.360 --> 0:01:07.160
<v Speaker 4>the way, so it kind of feels like you're outside.

0:01:07.360 --> 0:01:09.640
<v Speaker 4>If you're sitting toward the front of the restaurant, then

0:01:09.640 --> 0:01:12.120
<v Speaker 4>there's a sidewalk, and then they have a patio with

0:01:12.200 --> 0:01:14.120
<v Speaker 4>lots of tables on the patio, so just you can

0:01:14.200 --> 0:01:17.520
<v Speaker 4>kind of like envision the setup of this place. So

0:01:17.840 --> 0:01:21.120
<v Speaker 4>my family we all sat toward the front of the restaurant,

0:01:22.520 --> 0:01:25.800
<v Speaker 4>and at one point, after the kids, Lucy and Smith

0:01:25.840 --> 0:01:28.600
<v Speaker 4>and my niece Stella had gotten done with their food,

0:01:29.480 --> 0:01:32.199
<v Speaker 4>Lucy had said, Hey, we're gonna go outside. I'm gonna

0:01:32.240 --> 0:01:34.560
<v Speaker 4>We're gonna walk up and down the sidewalk, which is

0:01:34.560 --> 0:01:36.960
<v Speaker 4>totally fine, like we could still see them, although my

0:01:37.080 --> 0:01:39.600
<v Speaker 4>back was to the front of the place, so whatever,

0:01:39.640 --> 0:01:41.160
<v Speaker 4>she's eleven years old. I totally trust her with the

0:01:41.200 --> 0:01:45.119
<v Speaker 4>two kids. Well, wrong, totally fine until I could kind

0:01:45.120 --> 0:01:50.400
<v Speaker 4>of see everybody in the restaurant looking outside and up

0:01:51.080 --> 0:01:53.960
<v Speaker 4>and my sister, who was sitting facing the outside, goes,

0:01:55.160 --> 0:01:57.880
<v Speaker 4>I think that you should maybe look at your son

0:01:58.840 --> 0:02:03.440
<v Speaker 4>as it's like the the slow turn in my chair

0:02:03.600 --> 0:02:08.880
<v Speaker 4>to see Smith was in a tree hanging like.

0:02:08.800 --> 0:02:10.760
<v Speaker 1>A sloth over all.

0:02:10.639 --> 0:02:11.639
<v Speaker 3>Of the people.

0:02:11.520 --> 0:02:14.840
<v Speaker 4>Reading on the tables on the patio.

0:02:15.760 --> 0:02:18.560
<v Speaker 3>I was like, oh my god. I was so embarrassed.

0:02:18.800 --> 0:02:22.600
<v Speaker 3>The kid had climbed the tree and was just hanging.

0:02:22.280 --> 0:02:24.880
<v Speaker 4>There, and he was a kind of high to you guys,

0:02:25.000 --> 0:02:26.560
<v Speaker 4>and you could hear all the people in the restaurant like.

0:02:28.960 --> 0:02:29.200
<v Speaker 1>Tree.

0:02:29.919 --> 0:02:32.320
<v Speaker 4>I got up so fast and ran outside to get

0:02:32.360 --> 0:02:32.800
<v Speaker 4>him down.

0:02:33.120 --> 0:02:35.760
<v Speaker 2>Was embarrassing to yell get down from there, like did

0:02:35.800 --> 0:02:37.959
<v Speaker 2>you I didn't even have to yell.

0:02:38.080 --> 0:02:39.720
<v Speaker 4>I got to the bottom of the tree and looked

0:02:39.800 --> 0:02:41.680
<v Speaker 4>up and he saw my face and it was like.

0:02:41.960 --> 0:02:44.680
<v Speaker 3>Every parent knows, like you talked to your teeth.

0:02:44.680 --> 0:02:46.360
<v Speaker 4>You don't even have to really say anything, and that

0:02:46.480 --> 0:02:48.959
<v Speaker 4>was me, and he very quickly got it down.

0:02:50.880 --> 0:02:53.959
<v Speaker 1>If it's not your child, like I would have loved it,

0:02:55.400 --> 0:03:02.799
<v Speaker 1>That's what I'm saying you. If you're the table right next.

0:03:06.560 --> 0:03:10.280
<v Speaker 2>Everybody, everybody loves the screaming baby, unless you're sitting next

0:03:10.320 --> 0:03:12.000
<v Speaker 2>to the screaming baby on the airplane.

0:03:12.120 --> 0:03:13.000
<v Speaker 3>Who is horrible?

0:03:13.200 --> 0:03:19.679
<v Speaker 2>Horrible mother does this child to feed him? This kid

0:03:19.760 --> 0:03:21.480
<v Speaker 2>up in that tree, and I think into.

0:03:21.360 --> 0:03:24.840
<v Speaker 4>Themselves so high, keV, you couldn't just reach up throw

0:03:25.160 --> 0:03:25.720
<v Speaker 4>food up?

0:03:25.960 --> 0:03:27.640
<v Speaker 2>Did he have to like when he got up in

0:03:27.680 --> 0:03:31.520
<v Speaker 2>the tree, did he have to uh like maneuver by

0:03:31.720 --> 0:03:35.400
<v Speaker 2>like the chairs and the tables and stuff like that.

0:03:35.440 --> 0:03:37.840
<v Speaker 4>Honestly, don't know it, like it. I just wanted to

0:03:37.840 --> 0:03:39.040
<v Speaker 4>get him down so quickly.

0:03:39.520 --> 0:03:41.720
<v Speaker 1>Is he climbing things? Is that like the he.

0:03:42.160 --> 0:03:46.560
<v Speaker 4>Will climb lamp posts, he will climb trees. We were

0:03:46.560 --> 0:03:49.760
<v Speaker 4>at the the Michigan State tailgate on Friday and he

0:03:49.840 --> 0:03:51.160
<v Speaker 4>had climbed a tree.

0:03:51.760 --> 0:03:53.280
<v Speaker 1>So hot climb.

0:03:56.920 --> 0:03:59.800
<v Speaker 4>He's that kid, which I love, just not when it,

0:04:01.000 --> 0:04:04.200
<v Speaker 4>you know, ruining up somebody else's dinner experience.

0:04:04.480 --> 0:04:06.320
<v Speaker 1>All right, So there's a couple of ways I can

0:04:06.360 --> 0:04:06.960
<v Speaker 1>go on this one.

0:04:07.000 --> 0:04:07.200
<v Speaker 6>Here.

0:04:07.280 --> 0:04:09.280
<v Speaker 2>I can go you can obviously go with the kids

0:04:09.320 --> 0:04:11.760
<v Speaker 2>that are climbers, or we can go with the parent

0:04:11.840 --> 0:04:14.120
<v Speaker 2>that's not watching their kid in a restaurant what their

0:04:14.200 --> 0:04:17.600
<v Speaker 2>kid was doing, like you know, call call out the kid,

0:04:17.920 --> 0:04:20.160
<v Speaker 2>like you know, call out whatever the kid is. If

0:04:20.200 --> 0:04:23.400
<v Speaker 2>you're somebody at a restaurant and there's the kid running

0:04:23.440 --> 0:04:26.839
<v Speaker 2>around or pounding on the booth.

0:04:27.520 --> 0:04:28.880
<v Speaker 1>Was he one of those kids growing up?

0:04:28.920 --> 0:04:29.000
<v Speaker 5>No?

0:04:29.240 --> 0:04:32.240
<v Speaker 4>No, honestly, no, he was usually pretty good. It's just now,

0:04:32.279 --> 0:04:33.599
<v Speaker 4>at eight years old, he's.

0:04:33.400 --> 0:04:37.120
<v Speaker 1>Got a If you go to dinner and you have children,

0:04:37.279 --> 0:04:39.960
<v Speaker 1>sit them in between the adults. Do not put them

0:04:40.000 --> 0:04:42.440
<v Speaker 1>on the edge. They have access. They get up and

0:04:42.520 --> 0:04:43.000
<v Speaker 1>run around.

0:04:43.120 --> 0:04:47.560
<v Speaker 3>Well, I thought Lucy would.

0:04:47.920 --> 0:04:50.080
<v Speaker 4>Lucy is so good and I even said I was like,

0:04:50.120 --> 0:04:51.680
<v Speaker 4>lou you're supposed to be watching him, and she's like,

0:04:51.800 --> 0:04:55.200
<v Speaker 4>I tried, Like, she came up, She gave up. She

0:04:55.240 --> 0:04:57.600
<v Speaker 4>had my niece who's five. She was worried about her,

0:04:57.720 --> 0:04:58.640
<v Speaker 4>not Smith.

0:04:58.520 --> 0:05:02.720
<v Speaker 2>So real quick because I'm thinking back to was I

0:05:02.760 --> 0:05:06.920
<v Speaker 2>don't know when it was, was a Friday when Smith had had.

0:05:07.240 --> 0:05:11.480
<v Speaker 1>Morning to miss it. Do we have a bird update

0:05:11.600 --> 0:05:12.800
<v Speaker 1>for us? Do we have a U?

0:05:13.120 --> 0:05:17.800
<v Speaker 4>What's the what's the bird passed away?

0:05:18.960 --> 0:05:19.960
<v Speaker 3>No?

0:05:20.200 --> 0:05:22.320
<v Speaker 4>More than I woke up on I'm trying to think

0:05:22.360 --> 0:05:25.240
<v Speaker 4>what morning it was Saturday or Sunday. And it was

0:05:25.400 --> 0:05:27.080
<v Speaker 4>very quiet in my house and both kids were not

0:05:27.120 --> 0:05:28.360
<v Speaker 4>in their beds, so I knew they were in the

0:05:28.360 --> 0:05:30.360
<v Speaker 4>garage with the bird. And I walked in the garage

0:05:30.400 --> 0:05:32.800
<v Speaker 4>and both of them were just holding the bird, crying.

0:05:33.040 --> 0:05:34.720
<v Speaker 3>No, no bird.

0:05:34.880 --> 0:05:37.600
<v Speaker 4>The bird survived four more days than I think it

0:05:37.640 --> 0:05:40.279
<v Speaker 4>would if we would have left it in my yard.

0:05:41.040 --> 0:05:43.320
<v Speaker 1>But it was more than did you get the bird?

0:05:43.400 --> 0:05:44.960
<v Speaker 2>Looked at it all to see if the bird had

0:05:45.000 --> 0:05:47.320
<v Speaker 2>any kind of diseases at all, Like do we know,

0:05:47.560 --> 0:05:49.400
<v Speaker 2>like what what the story was with this bird?

0:05:49.480 --> 0:05:52.520
<v Speaker 1>Like was the bird heard that bird? Maybe maybe that.

0:05:55.120 --> 0:05:58.200
<v Speaker 4>I had Premiere pet supply delivered bird seed to my

0:05:58.360 --> 0:06:00.000
<v Speaker 4>house after the show on Friday.

0:06:00.040 --> 0:06:01.080
<v Speaker 3>I mean, we really try.

0:06:01.120 --> 0:06:03.840
<v Speaker 2>For those that missed that podcast, you got to listen

0:06:03.880 --> 0:06:06.560
<v Speaker 2>to that because Miss fid Tony called up and was

0:06:06.640 --> 0:06:10.920
<v Speaker 2>basically like, you gotta kill the bird and Smith was fighting.

0:06:11.600 --> 0:06:13.760
<v Speaker 2>He was like, you're not going to kill my bird.

0:06:14.200 --> 0:06:16.200
<v Speaker 2>I was like, man Smith eight years old, he was

0:06:16.200 --> 0:06:16.920
<v Speaker 2>going up against me.

0:06:16.920 --> 0:06:19.640
<v Speaker 4>He had a burial ceremony for the bird, so he's

0:06:19.720 --> 0:06:20.880
<v Speaker 4>now buried in our yard.

0:06:21.000 --> 0:06:24.560
<v Speaker 1>But see that makes me sad that the kids have

0:06:24.600 --> 0:06:25.800
<v Speaker 1>to deal with that, you know what I mean?

0:06:25.839 --> 0:06:26.120
<v Speaker 6>You guys.

0:06:26.200 --> 0:06:28.080
<v Speaker 4>Lucy was holding the bird and I walked out and

0:06:28.120 --> 0:06:31.160
<v Speaker 4>she's just crying, crying, and she showed as she like.

0:06:31.120 --> 0:06:33.280
<v Speaker 3>Turns to show me the bird, the bird's head gohes.

0:06:36.880 --> 0:06:38.400
<v Speaker 1>Did y'all make a tombstone? Or it is just like

0:06:38.440 --> 0:06:39.039
<v Speaker 1>a dirt pole.

0:06:39.920 --> 0:06:43.520
<v Speaker 4>It's just a dirt pile. There were some flowers placed

0:06:43.560 --> 0:06:45.760
<v Speaker 4>on top. That's about it.

0:06:45.800 --> 0:06:48.760
<v Speaker 2>What a very very sad thing to have to have happened,

0:06:48.839 --> 0:06:50.520
<v Speaker 2>you know, for the for the kids to have to

0:06:51.000 --> 0:06:51.520
<v Speaker 2>deal with.

0:06:54.200 --> 0:06:55.839

0:09:00.280 --> 0:09:00.360
<v Speaker 7>No?

0:09:00.400 --> 0:09:02.240
<v Speaker 6>I was just go home and let you know. We

0:09:02.320 --> 0:09:05.280
<v Speaker 6>had an issue like that some time ago where we

0:09:05.280 --> 0:09:09.840
<v Speaker 6>were in a restaurant. Someone's kid was while we were

0:09:09.880 --> 0:09:12.880
<v Speaker 6>me and my wife were eating. This kid is sitting

0:09:13.200 --> 0:09:16.000
<v Speaker 6>or standing on the back of the seat, banging and

0:09:16.040 --> 0:09:19.440
<v Speaker 6>looking over our shoulder while we're trying to eat. The

0:09:19.559 --> 0:09:22.280
<v Speaker 6>parents didn't say anything until they until I got up

0:09:22.320 --> 0:09:24.440
<v Speaker 6>and turned around. And when you're looking at a twenty

0:09:24.559 --> 0:09:26.920
<v Speaker 6>twenty pound man looking at you and telling you to

0:09:26.960 --> 0:09:32.360
<v Speaker 6>sit your child down. Everything changed that everything.

0:09:32.760 --> 0:09:36.880
<v Speaker 2>By the way, I love it that kid remembers you

0:09:37.000 --> 0:09:40.960
<v Speaker 2>now for the rest of his life, Sean, every restaurant,

0:09:41.160 --> 0:09:44.480
<v Speaker 2>just look around there recorded.

0:09:44.120 --> 0:09:45.840
<v Speaker 1>Wait, hold on, we're recording this call.

0:09:45.880 --> 0:09:50.840
<v Speaker 2>Hold on once I've sean our Amber.

0:09:50.920 --> 0:09:53.240
<v Speaker 1>Hi, Amber, I just talked to Sean. What's going on? Amber?

0:09:53.880 --> 0:09:54.520
<v Speaker 5>Good morning?

0:09:54.559 --> 0:09:56.400
<v Speaker 1>How are you doing great? Amber?

0:09:56.440 --> 0:09:58.920
<v Speaker 2>We're talking about Smith. And this, by the way, is

0:09:58.920 --> 0:10:01.040
<v Speaker 2>going to be one of Smith's moments that we're gonna

0:10:01.360 --> 0:10:03.240
<v Speaker 2>remember when the kid gets married.

0:10:03.440 --> 0:10:06.720
<v Speaker 1>Do you remember the time you climb the tree? What's

0:10:06.800 --> 0:10:07.199
<v Speaker 1>going on?

0:10:09.200 --> 0:10:11.400
<v Speaker 5>I wanted to say that my kids are just feral.

0:10:11.520 --> 0:10:14.920
<v Speaker 5>They are just feral kids. So I thought I had

0:10:14.920 --> 0:10:18.400
<v Speaker 5>already experienced everything with my older three. I was wrong.

0:10:19.040 --> 0:10:23.559
<v Speaker 5>My youngest we were at a restaurant and I literally

0:10:24.040 --> 0:10:27.720
<v Speaker 5>just turned to turn my head for a quick second.

0:10:27.760 --> 0:10:31.120
<v Speaker 5>He was in the booth next to me. Everything was fine.

0:10:31.800 --> 0:10:35.480
<v Speaker 5>Next thing I hear and see is the fire alarm light.

0:10:38.160 --> 0:10:43.920
<v Speaker 5>That feral booger pulled the fire alarm. I thought that

0:10:44.000 --> 0:10:47.680
<v Speaker 5>my embarrassment meter had already been next papped out with

0:10:47.760 --> 0:10:50.720
<v Speaker 5>the other three. Like my daughter used to run around saying,

0:10:50.720 --> 0:10:56.640
<v Speaker 5>you're not my mom, the like, so now you know,

0:10:56.760 --> 0:10:59.240
<v Speaker 5>here I am taking him to school and he's just like.

0:10:59.240 --> 0:11:03.200
<v Speaker 1>Look, is it first day of school for the guy?

0:11:03.320 --> 0:11:03.400
<v Speaker 5>Is?

0:11:03.520 --> 0:11:04.400
<v Speaker 1>Or is he going to school?

0:11:04.640 --> 0:11:07.680
<v Speaker 5>No, he's been in school since what the nineteenth?

0:11:07.760 --> 0:11:12.160
<v Speaker 1>Yeah? Is wait? Is he in military school? Hopefully?

0:11:14.080 --> 0:11:15.719
<v Speaker 7>Well no, we're in Christian school now
