One morning and I was just like, I'm 193 00:08:56,960 --> 00:08:59,560 Speaker 4: gonna go out for a job and I'm like, why, Wow, 194 00:08:59,600 --> 00:09:02,600 Speaker 4: this part kids really crowded.

I was like, 200 00:09:15,760 --> 00:09:19,040 Speaker 4: oh no, I somehow hijacked my way into the New 201 00:09:19,120 --> 00:09:21,240 Speaker 4: York Marathon. So it ran for like three miles of 202 00:09:21,320 --> 00:09:22,240 Speaker 4: the New York Marathon. 203 00:09:22,679 --> 00:09:24,640 Speaker 3: Oh my gosh, that's so fun. Did you ever do 204 00:09:24,679 --> 00:09:25,199 Speaker 3: it for real? 205 00:09:25,760 --> 00:09:25,840 Speaker 1: No? 206 00:09:26,200 --> 00:09:27,680 Speaker 4: Never did it for real. I never really had the 207 00:09:27,720 --> 00:09:30,440 Speaker 4: discipline for anything like that. I don't think I could 208 00:09:30,440 --> 00:09:32,400 Speaker 4: have done that. Have you all? Have you ever ever 209 00:09:32,440 --> 00:09:34,080 Speaker 4: wanted to do that? Or have you ever done that? 210 00:09:34,640 --> 00:09:36,640 Speaker 2: I'm dying to do the New York Marathon. It's on 211 00:09:36,720 --> 00:09:39,400 Speaker 2: my bucket list. I look at those videos in those 212 00:09:39,400 --> 00:09:43,080 Speaker 2: photos every single year with it's usually the photo of 213 00:09:43,120 --> 00:09:45,960 Speaker 2: all the people on the bridge that blows my mind, 214 00:09:46,600 --> 00:09:50,560 Speaker 2: and the energy is unbelievable. I did a breakup triathlon 215 00:09:50,600 --> 00:09:54,160 Speaker 2: a few years ago, and it was one of the 216 00:09:54,200 --> 00:09:57,680 Speaker 2: best experiences of my life. The day of I thought 217 00:09:57,679 --> 00:10:01,160 Speaker 2: everybody was going to be super competitive, and instead there's 218 00:10:01,160 --> 00:10:03,400 Speaker 2: so much camaraderie. Like if you can't get your bike 219 00:10:03,440 --> 00:10:06,160 Speaker 2: off the rack in time, people will stop what they're 220 00:10:06,160 --> 00:10:08,360 Speaker 2: doing in their race and come and help you. 221 00:10:08,880 --> 00:10:10,559 Speaker 3: There's like so much teamwork that. 222 00:10:10,559 --> 00:10:13,280 Speaker 2: Happens that feels so I know I'm being such a dork, 223 00:10:13,320 --> 00:10:15,800 Speaker 2: but it feels really inspiring. I can only imagine what 224 00:10:15,880 --> 00:10:18,520 Speaker 2: the marathon feels like. You see all those videos of 225 00:10:18,559 --> 00:10:21,080 Speaker 2: people like helping each other up and saying like one 226 00:10:21,080 --> 00:10:23,800 Speaker 2: more mile, like I'll do it with you. Some people 227 00:10:23,840 --> 00:10:26,120 Speaker 2: come and walk miles with people who can't get to 228 00:10:26,160 --> 00:10:28,880 Speaker 2: the finish line. Man, oh man, I don't know if 229 00:10:28,920 --> 00:10:31,079 Speaker 2: I can do twenty six miles though's so long. 230 00:10:31,800 --> 00:10:34,720 Speaker 4: So in so, what's the longest you've run would you 231 00:10:34,800 --> 00:10:35,880 Speaker 4: have to do for the triathlon? 232 00:10:36,240 --> 00:10:38,560 Speaker 2: The try was six I think, and it was the 233 00:10:38,600 --> 00:10:41,320 Speaker 2: worst part for me. I hated the rock. So I 234 00:10:41,320 --> 00:10:43,280 Speaker 2: don't know what makes me think I could do twenty six. 235 00:10:44,120 --> 00:10:46,880 Speaker 2: But don't you like, aren't you inspired by the videos? 236 00:10:46,960 --> 00:10:49,240 Speaker 2: You ever look at the end of the marathon and think. 237 00:10:49,120 --> 00:10:50,120 Speaker 3: Oh, I want a beer with you? 238 00:10:50,920 --> 00:10:51,120 Speaker 4: Yeah? 239 00:10:52,720 --> 00:10:53,280 Speaker 3: Oh yeah? 240 00:10:53,400 --> 00:10:56,080 Speaker 1: I mean, like I said, there's so many incredible stories. 241 00:10:56,120 --> 00:10:59,240 Speaker 1: There's one that I saw about this woman named Janie 242 00:10:59,240 --> 00:11:02,920 Speaker 1: Deagan and and she's a lifelong New Yorker. Just ten 243 00:11:03,000 --> 00:11:06,640 Speaker 1: years ago she was down and out, struggling with homelessness 244 00:11:06,679 --> 00:11:10,280 Speaker 1: and a drug and alcohol addiction. She gets clean, she 245 00:11:10,400 --> 00:11:13,760 Speaker 1: opens up a bakery, and then she starts running, and 246 00:11:14,200 --> 00:11:17,360 Speaker 1: she says that running marathons are what has helped her 247 00:11:17,640 --> 00:11:19,760 Speaker 1: stay sober. And this year she teamed up with the 248 00:11:19,840 --> 00:11:22,479 Speaker 1: organization that oversees the race to create. 249 00:11:22,240 --> 00:11:23,120 Speaker 3: A special cookie. 250 00:11:23,240 --> 00:11:25,480 Speaker 1: So now her work is part of the fabric of 251 00:11:25,520 --> 00:11:27,800 Speaker 1: the New York Marathon and it's inspiring other people to. 252 00:11:28,720 --> 00:11:32,040 Speaker 2: So there's actually a lot of studies that have come 253 00:11:32,080 --> 00:11:36,480 Speaker 2: out recently in terms of the road to recovery for 254 00:11:36,800 --> 00:11:39,880 Speaker 2: people who are addicted to drugs and alcohol and running, 255 00:11:40,280 --> 00:11:44,160 Speaker 2: and there's a high correlation between people who are sober 256 00:11:44,640 --> 00:11:49,000 Speaker 2: and marathon running interesting. It is sort of interesting. I've 257 00:11:49,000 --> 00:11:51,240 Speaker 2: always said to my friends who do marathons. I was like, 258 00:11:51,320 --> 00:11:53,720 Speaker 2: you're either running towards something or running from something. 259 00:11:54,360 --> 00:11:55,640 Speaker 3: So it's one of the two. 260 00:11:56,800 --> 00:11:58,559 Speaker 1: We're going to take a quick break from popping off, 261 00:11:58,559 --> 00:12:10,240 Speaker 1: but we'll be right back and we're back to popping 262 00:12:10,320 --> 00:12:11,800 Speaker 1: off with Tim Palazola. 263 00:12:12,200 --> 00:12:14,040 Speaker 2: Well, it wouldn't be Friday if I didn't bring up 264 00:12:14,040 --> 00:12:15,800 Speaker 2: a dating story.

She says she'd pushed for 324 00:15:05,840 --> 00:15:08,880 Speaker 1: her ex to propose at the time, only to realize 325 00:15:08,920 --> 00:15:12,120 Speaker 1: that he ended up giving her a quote shut upring, 326 00:15:12,720 --> 00:15:15,720 Speaker 1: basically like a means to an end, like I know 327 00:15:15,800 --> 00:15:18,240 Speaker 1: that you need this, I'm giving this for you, but 328 00:15:18,320 --> 00:15:20,320 Speaker 1: for the wrong reasons, or I'm giving this to you 329 00:15:20,440 --> 00:15:23,240 Speaker 1: but for the wrong reasons. And she says that they 330 00:15:23,280 --> 00:15:26,440 Speaker 1: never really addressed the reasons why he was hesitating to 331 00:15:26,440 --> 00:15:28,720 Speaker 1: take those next steps with her. But she says that 332 00:15:28,760 --> 00:15:32,000 Speaker 1: the disconnect really sank in about two months before the wedding, 333 00:15:32,080 --> 00:15:34,760 Speaker 1: when they started looking for homes and she realized that 334 00:15:34,840 --> 00:15:38,120 Speaker 1: she wasn't actually excited about their future together and he 335 00:15:38,160 --> 00:15:40,520 Speaker 1: didn't seem to be either. So she said that after 336 00:15:40,560 --> 00:15:43,640 Speaker 1: that she made one of the hardest decisions of her life. 337 00:15:43,680 --> 00:15:44,680 Speaker 3: She canceled the wedding. 338 00:15:45,040 --> 00:15:49,640 Speaker 1: She pushed back against friends, family members who discounted her feelings, 339 00:15:49,680 --> 00:15:53,240 Speaker 1: told her they were just jitters. And now two years later, 340 00:15:53,600 --> 00:15:55,760 Speaker 1: on the other side of this, she says she's so 341 00:15:55,880 --> 00:15:58,560 Speaker 1: much happier and she understands that she deserves someone who 342 00:15:58,560 --> 00:16:01,360 Speaker 1: actually wants to be with her and isn't just looking 343 00:16:01,400 --> 00:16:05,120 Speaker 1: to placate her or stay in the relationship because they're 344 00:16:05,160 --> 00:16:06,120 Speaker 1: afraid to walk away. 345 00:16:06,680 --> 00:16:08,320 Speaker 3: I find this story really powerful. 346 00:16:08,360 --> 00:16:11,240 Speaker 1: I think I think we don't often get to hear 347 00:16:11,280 --> 00:16:13,320 Speaker 1: the perspective of someone who's on the other side of 348 00:16:13,360 --> 00:16:15,040 Speaker 1: a decision like this and is proud of it. 349 00:16:15,640 --> 00:16:18,160 Speaker 2: Okay, here's the thing that I don't understand, and I 350 00:16:18,440 --> 00:16:22,200 Speaker 2: also you two have experienced in this realm, so please 351 00:16:22,440 --> 00:16:26,880 Speaker 2: edge mcate me. I don't understand if you're dating somebody 352 00:16:27,600 --> 00:16:31,280 Speaker 2: for two years, three years, six years, and then you 353 00:16:31,320 --> 00:16:34,600 Speaker 2: get engaged and then you break off the engagement, what 354 00:16:34,880 --> 00:16:38,920 Speaker 2: happens within that period of engagement where you're having all 355 00:16:38,960 --> 00:16:42,080 Speaker 2: these realizations that you didn't have over the last six 356 00:16:42,160 --> 00:16:45,480 Speaker 2: years dating somebody, And how'd you. 357 00:16:45,440 --> 00:16:47,720 Speaker 3: Get to the point of engagement. That's what I need 358 00:16:47,760 --> 00:16:48,520 Speaker 3: to understand. 359 00:16:48,760 --> 00:16:51,320 Speaker 4: I have thoughts, simoney, do you I do. 360 00:16:51,480 --> 00:16:51,840 Speaker 3: Yeah. 361 00:16:51,960 --> 00:16:54,360 Speaker 1: I think it's human nature to get swept up in 362 00:16:54,400 --> 00:16:58,960 Speaker 1: love and to I mean, we've all dismissed red flags before. 363 00:16:59,400 --> 00:17:03,160 Speaker 1: We've all suppressed our doubts about relationships that we're in 364 00:17:03,280 --> 00:17:06,640 Speaker 1: because we have this vision for our future that we're 365 00:17:06,640 --> 00:17:09,359 Speaker 1: trying to adhere to, and it can become really easy 366 00:17:09,400 --> 00:17:14,080 Speaker 1: to silence those doubts in favor of you know, this, 367 00:17:14,080 --> 00:17:16,040 Speaker 1: this family or life that you want to create with 368 00:17:16,080 --> 00:17:19,200 Speaker 1: this person. So I think she just got sucked into, 369 00:17:19,560 --> 00:17:24,359 Speaker 1: you know, the romanticism of it all. And then thank 370 00:17:24,400 --> 00:17:27,640 Speaker 1: god though she listened to those those questions and those 371 00:17:27,640 --> 00:17:29,439 Speaker 1: whispers that were taking place inside of her. 372 00:17:30,000 --> 00:17:32,920 Speaker 4: Yeah, I want to echo that. I think you. I 373 00:17:32,960 --> 00:17:35,120 Speaker 4: think it's I think it's easy to fall in love 374 00:17:35,119 --> 00:17:38,720 Speaker 4: with the idea of something, and sometimes you have a 375 00:17:38,840 --> 00:17:41,520 Speaker 4: vision for the life that you want and someone is 376 00:17:41,560 --> 00:17:44,080 Speaker 4: there and they play a piece of that instead of 377 00:17:44,080 --> 00:17:46,840 Speaker 4: falling in love with the person. Think about this story. 378 00:17:46,840 --> 00:17:49,119 Speaker 4: I was thinking so much about the conversation that the 379 00:17:49,160 --> 00:17:51,720 Speaker 4: two of you had with Sarah Kubrick, and she was 380 00:17:51,760 --> 00:17:55,679 Speaker 4: talking about like agency and how everyone has the freedom 381 00:17:55,720 --> 00:17:58,399 Speaker 4: to make their own choices and that there's the power 382 00:17:58,640 --> 00:18:01,560 Speaker 4: in that. You started to hit on this simone. Like 383 00:18:01,960 --> 00:18:05,080 Speaker 4: we think of like breaking off an engagement as something 384 00:18:05,080 --> 00:18:08,440 Speaker 4: that's really tragic, but it really was the most empowering 385 00:18:08,440 --> 00:18:10,760 Speaker 4: thing that she could do for herself, because I think 386 00:18:10,800 --> 00:18:13,800 Speaker 4: people also feel like they settle. It's exciting to see 387 00:18:13,800 --> 00:18:16,160 Speaker 4: someone be able to take control of their own life 388 00:18:16,160 --> 00:18:19,280 Speaker 4: and get to the point where they go, you know what, Actually, 389 00:18:19,280 --> 00:18:21,439 Speaker 4: this isn't what I want. And instead of settling, and 390 00:18:21,480 --> 00:18:24,399 Speaker 4: instead of suppressing that intuition or that voice, letting that 391 00:18:24,480 --> 00:18:25,359 Speaker 4: voice speak up. 392 00:18:26,520 --> 00:18:29,400 Speaker 2: Okay, but you guys didn't really answer my question because 393 00:18:29,440 --> 00:18:32,560 Speaker 2: I agree with you both. That's I love the agency. 394 00:18:32,680 --> 00:18:36,480 Speaker 2: I'm not disagreeing. What I'm saying is what conversations happen 395 00:18:36,600 --> 00:18:39,600 Speaker 2: once you get engaged. To me, it seems like families 396 00:18:39,600 --> 00:18:42,879 Speaker 2: get involved. Money in terms of wedding planning happens. I 397 00:18:42,920 --> 00:18:46,840 Speaker 2: think there's logistical things that start to be discussed that 398 00:18:48,160 --> 00:18:51,399 Speaker 2: start sparking different kinds of conversations, and all of a sudden, 399 00:18:51,440 --> 00:18:53,920 Speaker 2: people realize, oh, maybe we're not on the same page. 400 00:18:54,480 --> 00:18:56,959 Speaker 4: I think people don't have a lot of those conversations. 401 00:18:57,240 --> 00:19:01,399 Speaker 4: I think people avoid things. I think people aren't as 402 00:19:01,800 --> 00:19:05,199 Speaker 4: honest with themselves or each other along the way. And 403 00:19:05,280 --> 00:19:07,760 Speaker 4: sometimes it takes like, oh my god, I'm about to 404 00:19:07,800 --> 00:19:09,640 Speaker 4: walk down the aisle. This is real, this is real 405 00:19:09,720 --> 00:19:12,600 Speaker 4: for people to really wake up and see the situation 406 00:19:12,720 --> 00:19:16,000 Speaker 4: that they're in. You know what, here's the thing Beyonce said, 407 00:19:16,119 --> 00:19:17,560 Speaker 4: if you like it, then you should have put a 408 00:19:17,640 --> 00:19:20,960 Speaker 4: ring on it. That's great advice. But also if you 409 00:19:21,000 --> 00:19:23,240 Speaker 4: don't like it, say no to the ring. You have 410 00:19:23,320 --> 00:19:25,240 Speaker 4: agency to say no to the ring. 411 00:19:25,359 --> 00:19:32,520 Speaker 3: Say no, just say no. That's good. It's time for 412 00:19:32,560 --> 00:19:33,000 Speaker 3: a break. 413 00:19:33,080 --> 00:19:42,280 Speaker 2: But we'll be back, and we're back with Tim Pallizola. 414 00:19:43,520 --> 00:19:45,360 Speaker 1: Okay, I want to wrap up by asking you guys 415 00:19:45,440 --> 00:19:48,960 Speaker 1: about this new TikTok debate that's circulating right now. It's 416 00:19:49,000 --> 00:19:53,840 Speaker 1: this conversation about growing up in ingredient households. This is 417 00:19:53,880 --> 00:19:57,000 Speaker 1: a kind of home where your pantry is stocked with 418 00:19:57,080 --> 00:20:00,640 Speaker 1: things like flour and beans and rice, but whenever you're 419 00:20:00,640 --> 00:20:03,320 Speaker 1: looking for a snack or ready made meal, you are 420 00:20:03,359 --> 00:20:06,640 Speaker 1: out of luck, honey, and people are trauma bonding over this. 421 00:20:06,960 --> 00:20:11,160 Speaker 1: Forty four million people have engaged with the ingredient household hashtag. Clearly, 422 00:20:11,280 --> 00:20:14,879 Speaker 1: this is hitting a nerve with our generation. Does this 423 00:20:15,000 --> 00:20:17,960 Speaker 1: resonate with you, guys, Tim, were you allowed to have 424 00:20:18,119 --> 00:20:19,080 Speaker 1: snacks growing up? 425 00:20:19,160 --> 00:20:20,880 Speaker 3: Or were you an ingredient household? 426 00:20:21,400 --> 00:20:23,280 Speaker 4: My mom will listen to this, and I do not 427 00:20:23,280 --> 00:20:25,560 Speaker 4: want to put Debbie Palosola on blast, but when I 428 00:20:25,640 --> 00:20:31,320 Speaker 4: was a kid, Debbie fruity pebbles was a healthy breakfast 429 00:20:31,480 --> 00:20:34,000 Speaker 4: in my house growing up. That is where I got 430 00:20:34,040 --> 00:20:35,720 Speaker 4: a lot of the vitamin C. The kids in the 431 00:20:35,720 --> 00:20:38,280 Speaker 4: neighborhood would come over to our house because we always 432 00:20:38,320 --> 00:20:41,919 Speaker 4: had the best snacks. So yes, we cooked, and we 433 00:20:41,960 --> 00:20:45,000 Speaker 4: baked and stuff but there was no shortage of processed foods. 434 00:20:45,359 --> 00:20:49,360 Speaker 4: Little Debbie snack bars, cakes, cookies, we had. We were 435 00:20:49,359 --> 00:20:50,960 Speaker 4: definitely that snack house. 436 00:20:51,160 --> 00:20:53,840 Speaker 1: Okay, you were the house that everyone wanted to be 437 00:20:54,040 --> 00:20:55,520 Speaker 1: and I would have been at your house eating all 438 00:20:55,560 --> 00:20:57,400 Speaker 1: your task Danielle, how about you? 439 00:20:58,600 --> 00:21:02,600 Speaker 2: Yeah, my friend Sasha had snackhouse and I would go 440 00:21:02,840 --> 00:21:08,280 Speaker 2: there and raid her goldfish, oreos, all the things that 441 00:21:08,359 --> 00:21:11,119 Speaker 2: were not in my house. You know, when I was 442 00:21:11,160 --> 00:21:12,960 Speaker 2: growing up, I was kind of like, why is my 443 00:21:13,080 --> 00:21:16,639 Speaker 2: pantry just sort of empty? And in hindsight, I'm so 444 00:21:16,720 --> 00:21:19,159 Speaker 2: grateful my pantry was sort of empty. My mom was 445 00:21:19,200 --> 00:21:22,080 Speaker 2: really doing the right thing. She was like really into 446 00:21:22,119 --> 00:21:26,359 Speaker 2: whole foods, and she was no cereal, no pretzels, no 447 00:21:26,480 --> 00:21:29,280 Speaker 2: processed stuff, way before it was popular. 448 00:21:29,359 --> 00:21:31,439 Speaker 3: So shout out to my mother today. 449 00:21:31,560 --> 00:21:34,680 Speaker 4: Oh she was ahead of it. You're you're naming all 450 00:21:34,720 --> 00:21:37,840 Speaker 4: the things that I can visually see in my pantry 451 00:21:37,880 --> 00:21:40,399 Speaker 4: at all times. Yes, before I went to school in 452 00:21:40,440 --> 00:21:43,800 Speaker 4: the morning, I would literally take peanut butter, Captain crunch 453 00:21:44,080 --> 00:21:52,040 Speaker 4: and mix it with Reese's pieces, cereal, am my mom. 454 00:21:51,840 --> 00:21:56,120 Speaker 1: And igs sugar in every ex So incredible. 455 00:21:56,240 --> 00:21:58,840 Speaker 3: It was a different time.

Yes, yes, But I 461 00:22:12,720 --> 00:22:16,160 Speaker 1: think when I look back on my childhood, like it 462 00:22:16,200 --> 00:22:18,840 Speaker 1: was a mix, like sometimes we were an ingredient household 463 00:22:18,880 --> 00:22:21,160 Speaker 1: and then like other times we weren't. And I feel 464 00:22:21,160 --> 00:22:23,439 Speaker 1: like it depended on my mom's mood, Like sometimes it 465 00:22:23,520 --> 00:22:26,399 Speaker 1: literally would be like three month old salad dressing in 466 00:22:26,400 --> 00:22:31,520 Speaker 1: the fridge. And yeah, and like some carrots. 467 00:22:30,040 --> 00:22:33,639 Speaker 2: In my household is known for expired foods, and I 468 00:22:33,800 --> 00:22:38,120 Speaker 2: carried on the tradition. I sometimes like I'll eat brown bananas. 469 00:22:37,680 --> 00:22:38,399 Speaker 3: I'll eat anything. 470 00:22:38,640 --> 00:22:41,360 Speaker 4: When I was a kid, McDonald's had this promotion where 471 00:22:41,359 --> 00:22:44,640 Speaker 4: they were doing like it was like nineteen cent Hamburgers 472 00:22:44,680 --> 00:22:47,600 Speaker 4: and twenty nine cent cheeseburgers, and my dad would go 473 00:22:47,640 --> 00:22:50,320 Speaker 4: to the local McDonald's and buy They would let you 474 00:22:50,359 --> 00:22:52,680 Speaker 4: buy ten of them at a time, So my dad 475 00:22:52,680 --> 00:22:55,760 Speaker 4: would buy ten Hamburgers and ten cheeseburgers, and he did 476 00:22:55,800 --> 00:22:58,199 Speaker 4: it like one day every day for a week, and 477 00:22:58,240 --> 00:23:00,560 Speaker 4: then put them in the freezer. So we had ziplock 478 00:23:00,640 --> 00:23:04,840 Speaker 4: bags full of McDonald's hamburgers and cheeseburgers, and I would 479 00:23:04,880 --> 00:23:07,639 Speaker 4: come home in school and after soccer practice and I 480 00:23:07,680 --> 00:23:10,200 Speaker 4: would literally just go into the freezer and pull out 481 00:23:10,280 --> 00:23:13,320 Speaker 4: one of these frozen hamburgers, put it in the microwave, 482 00:23:13,359 --> 00:23:15,919 Speaker 4: and that was like a snack before dinner. 483 00:23:16,080 --> 00:23:19,480 Speaker 3: That's so epic and truly delicious. Okay. 484 00:23:19,680 --> 00:23:22,920 Speaker 1: In addition to ingredient households, people are also going off 485 00:23:22,960 --> 00:23:26,640 Speaker 1: on this idea of living room families versus bedroom families, 486 00:23:27,119 --> 00:23:30,400 Speaker 1: and people online are commenting on the idea that families 487 00:23:30,400 --> 00:23:33,560 Speaker 1: who spend time together in communal spaces of the home 488 00:23:34,200 --> 00:23:38,280 Speaker 1: are creating this environment where everyone feels safe and welcome, 489 00:23:38,320 --> 00:23:41,080 Speaker 1: and that this is a better alternative to a bedroom 490 00:23:41,119 --> 00:23:43,440 Speaker 1: family where everyone kind of like does their own thing 491 00:23:43,520 --> 00:23:46,399 Speaker 1: and the kids are isolated and the parents are isolated. 492 00:23:47,520 --> 00:23:50,440 Speaker 1: How would you describe your experience? Was it living room 493 00:23:50,480 --> 00:23:51,600 Speaker 1: family a bedroom family? 494 00:23:51,680 --> 00:23:56,639 Speaker 4: Growing up? We were a living room family for sure. Yeah. 495 00:23:56,720 --> 00:23:59,040 Speaker 4: We never had I had friends who had like TVs 496 00:23:59,080 --> 00:24:01,560 Speaker 4: and stuff in their bedrooms. We never had anything like that. 497 00:24:01,600 --> 00:24:03,639 Speaker 4: We were definitely a living room family. We're like a 498 00:24:03,640 --> 00:24:06,239 Speaker 4: living room kitchen family. We were always together, We were 499 00:24:06,280 --> 00:24:07,600 Speaker 4: always playing games together. 500 00:24:08,200 --> 00:24:10,200 Speaker 1: And what do you think the benefits are of that? 501 00:24:10,320 --> 00:24:13,159 Speaker 1: Looking back on it, Like, how did it shape you? Like, 502 00:24:13,200 --> 00:24:15,480 Speaker 1: because I think I think it does actually shape us 503 00:24:15,520 --> 00:24:19,440 Speaker 1: whether we are you know friends, Yeah. 504 00:24:19,119 --> 00:24:21,160 Speaker 4: Right, because I had friends who I would go over 505 00:24:21,359 --> 00:24:24,119 Speaker 4: and the parents would be watching something downstairs, and then 506 00:24:24,280 --> 00:24:25,960 Speaker 4: my friend would have a TV in his room and 507 00:24:26,000 --> 00:24:27,840 Speaker 4: play video games in his room, and his brother would 508 00:24:27,880 --> 00:24:30,040 Speaker 4: have a TV and video games in their room. So 509 00:24:30,080 --> 00:24:33,160 Speaker 4: it was a very like quiet, isolated house. I'd see 510 00:24:33,200 --> 00:24:35,440 Speaker 4: the benefit for me when what I think about it 511 00:24:35,520 --> 00:24:37,920 Speaker 4: is like I'm still very very close with my family, 512 00:24:38,240 --> 00:24:41,159 Speaker 4: and I just also remember there was just like a 513 00:24:41,160 --> 00:24:43,159 Speaker 4: lot of music playing all the time, and we all 514 00:24:43,200 --> 00:24:45,720 Speaker 4: had like different shows I was exposed to. You know, 515 00:24:45,760 --> 00:24:49,720 Speaker 4: we learn from each other because like my brothers were 516 00:24:49,800 --> 00:24:53,080 Speaker 4: very much like you know, into sports and things that 517 00:24:53,160 --> 00:24:56,560 Speaker 4: I wasn't necessarily into the same way. But we all 518 00:24:56,600 --> 00:24:58,280 Speaker 4: get a chance to like learn from each other. I 519 00:24:58,280 --> 00:25:01,679 Speaker 4: think we we learn how to communicate, learn to appreciate 520 00:25:01,720 --> 00:25:05,160 Speaker 4: each other's points of view, to learn to compromise, learn 521 00:25:05,200 --> 00:25:09,720 Speaker 4: to communicate effectively, learning how to share. I think some 522 00:25:09,760 --> 00:25:11,960 Speaker 4: of those inherent principles just all of us being in 523 00:25:11,960 --> 00:25:14,200 Speaker 4: the same space and having to negotiate, you know, what 524 00:25:14,760 --> 00:25:16,320 Speaker 4: do we want to watch? What do we not want 525 00:25:16,359 --> 00:25:21,760 Speaker 4: to watch? So I think those values I've really really 526 00:25:21,760 --> 00:25:23,800 Speaker 4: instilled in me, and I think it actually when I 527 00:25:23,800 --> 00:25:26,320 Speaker 4: think about the way I live now, Like my house 528 00:25:26,400 --> 00:25:29,040 Speaker 4: is like a very much a hosting house. Like lots 529 00:25:29,040 --> 00:25:31,760 Speaker 4: of people come over to my house and it reminds 530 00:25:31,800 --> 00:25:33,840 Speaker 4: me like growing up, we were the hosting house. You know, 531 00:25:33,840 --> 00:25:36,120 Speaker 4: there's stuff going on, and it feels like a really communal, 532 00:25:36,680 --> 00:25:37,879 Speaker 4: fun gathering space. 533 00:25:38,480 --> 00:25:40,840 Speaker 2: It's really fun. What were you simon, Well. 534 00:25:40,760 --> 00:25:42,439 Speaker 1: When you're an only child, you grow up in a 535 00:25:42,440 --> 00:25:47,879 Speaker 1: bedroom family because you don't have any so you become 536 00:25:48,000 --> 00:25:50,520 Speaker 1: very independent and you play in your room by yourself 537 00:25:50,560 --> 00:25:52,639 Speaker 1: and you have a vivid imagination. 538 00:25:52,840 --> 00:25:55,000 Speaker 4: Can I ask you now that you're a mom and 539 00:25:55,040 --> 00:25:58,600 Speaker 4: you have two boys, are you a living room family? 540 00:25:59,200 --> 00:25:59,520 Speaker 3: Yes? 541 00:26:00,200 --> 00:26:04,199 Speaker 1: Very much intentional about being a living room family. My 542 00:26:04,280 --> 00:26:06,639 Speaker 1: kids will not have their own TVs in their room. 543 00:26:07,280 --> 00:26:09,479 Speaker 1: I want the doors to be open as much as possible. 544 00:26:09,520 --> 00:26:12,040 Speaker 1: There will be parameters around video games once we introduce that. 545 00:26:12,880 --> 00:26:17,400 Speaker 1: I see tremendous benefits in being together in shared the basis. 546 00:26:17,680 --> 00:26:20,080 Speaker 1: Danielle as one of two growing up what was it 547 00:26:20,119 --> 00:26:20,479 Speaker 1: like for you. 548 00:26:20,760 --> 00:26:22,200 Speaker 3: We were an everything family. 549 00:26:24,480 --> 00:26:26,760 Speaker 2: Okay, so when you grow up in cold weather, you're 550 00:26:26,760 --> 00:26:30,280 Speaker 2: indoors all the time. Yeah, So we were together in 551 00:26:30,359 --> 00:26:32,600 Speaker 2: the basement, in the living room, in the family room, 552 00:26:32,720 --> 00:26:35,480 Speaker 2: in the bedroom. As long as we could be horizontal 553 00:26:35,640 --> 00:26:39,640 Speaker 2: and either playing games or reading or watching TV, we 554 00:26:39,640 --> 00:26:44,000 Speaker 2: were doing it. We were very much together all the time. 555 00:26:44,000 --> 00:26:44,320 Speaker 3: I was. 556 00:26:45,600 --> 00:26:49,280 Speaker 2: My dad actually said to me that when he decided 557 00:26:49,320 --> 00:26:52,879 Speaker 2: to have kids, he was a dentist, and he said 558 00:26:53,359 --> 00:26:56,119 Speaker 2: he made a distinct choice that he was going to 559 00:26:57,359 --> 00:27:00,960 Speaker 2: maybe not kill it at work as much as he 560 00:27:01,080 --> 00:27:03,480 Speaker 2: potentially could, and he was going to spend more time 561 00:27:03,520 --> 00:27:06,480 Speaker 2: with his kids. So my dad was actually the one 562 00:27:06,480 --> 00:27:09,560 Speaker 2: that picked us up from school a lot, made us snacks. 563 00:27:10,400 --> 00:27:12,800 Speaker 2: The roles would kind of flip flop based on their 564 00:27:12,920 --> 00:27:17,000 Speaker 2: jobs and like who was working more. But we were 565 00:27:17,040 --> 00:27:19,040 Speaker 2: definitely in everything family. 566 00:27:19,560 --> 00:27:23,920 Speaker 1: I think there's so much value in that. That's beautiful.
