1
00:00:00,400 --> 00:00:05,040
Speaker 1: I want to ask you if Fred Rogers were here

2
00:00:05,120 --> 00:00:08,079
Speaker 1: today and you could sit down with him, and he

3
00:00:08,160 --> 00:00:10,880
Speaker 1: sat across from you and said, actually, it's nice to

4
00:00:10,880 --> 00:00:13,400
Speaker 1: meet you. I'm Fred. I want to know what you

5
00:00:13,440 --> 00:00:18,600
Speaker 1: would ask him. I mean, it wouldn't be one question.

6
00:00:24,520 --> 00:00:26,840
Speaker 1: I want you to tell me about every person you've

7
00:00:26,880 --> 00:00:31,480
Speaker 1: ever loved. I think there's so much to learn from

8
00:00:31,520 --> 00:00:36,320
Speaker 1: listening to people talk about the people who make them

9
00:00:36,360 --> 00:00:41,240
Speaker 1: feel a certain way. So there I am on the

10
00:00:41,320 --> 00:00:46,400
Speaker 1: couch with Mr Rotters. Wow, look at my face, the

11
00:00:46,479 --> 00:00:50,000
Speaker 1: way that he looked at me. I felt like you

12
00:00:50,040 --> 00:00:55,400
Speaker 1: saw me. Kids they grow out of him as though

13
00:00:55,400 --> 00:01:02,600
Speaker 1: they've graduated from Fred Rogers, but it's still resonates. Are

14
00:01:02,600 --> 00:01:07,600
Speaker 1: you okay today? I am because I'm getting to visit

15
00:01:07,640 --> 00:01:12,760
Speaker 1: with you now. That makes my day a special one.

16
00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:17,160
Speaker 1: He had a calling, one that allowed him to communicate

17
00:01:17,760 --> 00:01:21,720
Speaker 1: in a way that the ordinary person does not. When

18
00:01:21,760 --> 00:01:25,880
Speaker 1: we people can understand our feelings and talk about them,

19
00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:31,399
Speaker 1: we're free to be who we like being. For thirty years,

20
00:01:31,560 --> 00:01:34,440
Speaker 1: Mr Rogers looked through our television screens and said to

21
00:01:34,560 --> 00:01:38,080
Speaker 1: millions of kids, I see you. I like you just

22
00:01:38,200 --> 00:01:41,200
Speaker 1: the way you are. But what do we miss about

23
00:01:41,240 --> 00:01:43,920
Speaker 1: Fred's message. When we only focus on the sweater and

24
00:01:44,040 --> 00:01:49,520
Speaker 1: the sneakers, I mean, does Fred Rogers matter today? I

25
00:01:49,560 --> 00:01:51,280
Speaker 1: think a lot of people just thought that he was

26
00:01:51,440 --> 00:01:56,120
Speaker 1: very simplistic, but there was an incredible depth and call

27
00:01:56,240 --> 00:02:00,240
Speaker 1: to action on the show. I'm Carlo Wallace and is

28
00:02:00,280 --> 00:02:03,720
Speaker 1: Finding Fred a ten part series from I Heart Media

29
00:02:03,880 --> 00:02:07,680
Speaker 1: and Fatherly in partnership with Transmitter Media about the life,

30
00:02:07,960 --> 00:02:11,240
Speaker 1: the thinking, and the work of Fred Rogers, the man

31
00:02:11,520 --> 00:02:15,400
Speaker 1: behind Mr Rogers Neighborhood. The thing he chooses to say

32
00:02:15,520 --> 00:02:18,400
Speaker 1: is I still see you. I'm still proud of you,

33
00:02:18,960 --> 00:02:24,240
Speaker 1: and see the child and you listen everywhere. Beginning October,

34
00:02:26,320 --> 00:02:29,000
Speaker 1: It's time for me to go. Do you know when

35
00:02:29,040 --> 00:02:32,400
Speaker 1: I go on one day, I usually come back the

36
00:02:32,520 --> 00:02:32,880
Speaker 1: next
