1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:03,160
Speaker 1: Do any of you guys sleep with stuffed animals or

2
00:00:03,200 --> 00:00:08,000
Speaker 1: any sort of item from your childhood A man and

3
00:00:08,039 --> 00:00:11,440
Speaker 1: a dog, Because many people have held all of their

4
00:00:11,480 --> 00:00:14,520
Speaker 1: stuffed animals from childhood, and there's a whole article about

5
00:00:14,520 --> 00:00:17,439
Speaker 1: this today. Mental health experts say there's nothing wrong with

6
00:00:17,520 --> 00:00:20,880
Speaker 1: having a stuffed animal as an adult or using one

7
00:00:20,920 --> 00:00:22,279
Speaker 1: to sleep better. In fact, there are a lot of

8
00:00:22,280 --> 00:00:25,800
Speaker 1: positives to it. People use it to work through trauma.

9
00:00:26,520 --> 00:00:28,120
Speaker 1: I guess they go to build a bear, and they

10
00:00:28,120 --> 00:00:31,520
Speaker 1: build one to represent their inner child as a younger

11
00:00:31,600 --> 00:00:34,000
Speaker 1: version of themselves, to help heal from trauma, and they

12
00:00:34,040 --> 00:00:40,280
Speaker 1: sleep with that. Parents are giving the bears for comfort, connection, compassion, YadA, YadA, YadA.

13
00:00:40,680 --> 00:00:43,960
Speaker 1: I guess I'm talking more about, you know, as a

14
00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:47,559
Speaker 1: grown up, sleeping with something that you had as a

15
00:00:47,640 --> 00:00:51,199
Speaker 1: child that was yours. That's something you created. Now, I mean,

16
00:00:51,200 --> 00:00:53,920
Speaker 1: what would your Jason, would your childhood trauma bear look like?

17
00:00:55,920 --> 00:00:59,240
Speaker 2: Build a bear? Well, it looks straight, first of all, Yeah,

18
00:00:59,280 --> 00:01:01,680
Speaker 2: it would be straight. It would be dressed in flannel

19
00:01:01,720 --> 00:01:02,240
Speaker 2: and jeans.

20
00:01:02,640 --> 00:01:05,160
Speaker 3: But I had one. It was yellow. It was almost

21
00:01:05,200 --> 00:01:08,480
Speaker 3: like a care bear looking sort of situation. But I

22
00:01:08,520 --> 00:01:10,479
Speaker 3: would like suck my thumb with it and like rub

23
00:01:10,560 --> 00:01:13,640
Speaker 3: my nose till a very old age that I shouldn't

24
00:01:13,680 --> 00:01:16,240
Speaker 3: be sucking my thumb and rubbing my nose with it anymore.

25
00:01:17,080 --> 00:01:18,600
Speaker 3: And then it like destroyed it. So now it's just

26
00:01:18,640 --> 00:01:19,840
Speaker 3: in Pisa as my mom has it.

27
00:01:20,319 --> 00:01:20,720
Speaker 2: Mm hmm.

28
00:01:21,959 --> 00:01:23,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, And did you guys have it, like, did you

29
00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:25,160
Speaker 1: guys have anything like that growing up?

30
00:01:25,200 --> 00:01:27,560
Speaker 2: Would you have a name for it or I don't

31
00:01:27,560 --> 00:01:29,200
Speaker 2: think I ever named him, because.

32
00:01:28,959 --> 00:01:32,200
Speaker 1: I had a blanket until I was probably or so,

33
00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:36,920
Speaker 1: maybe twenty five, But yeah, I had a blanket, but

34
00:01:36,920 --> 00:01:38,959
Speaker 1: I think I think Blankie I think was its name.

35
00:01:40,280 --> 00:01:41,480
Speaker 1: I don't know if any of you guys had like

36
00:01:41,520 --> 00:01:43,760
Speaker 1: a because there often are funny names to go with

37
00:01:43,760 --> 00:01:46,119
Speaker 1: these things too, like Amanda. My sister had a little,

38
00:01:46,520 --> 00:01:49,120
Speaker 1: I don't know, a little twelve by twelve inch square

39
00:01:49,760 --> 00:01:52,640
Speaker 1: kind of blanket thingy, and I don't know why, but

40
00:01:52,680 --> 00:01:55,520
Speaker 1: it was called Soggy, that's what its name was. And

41
00:01:55,520 --> 00:01:58,560
Speaker 1: my mom was very smart because soagi would disappear sometimes,

42
00:01:58,920 --> 00:02:00,960
Speaker 1: and so my mom went to the storm and bought

43
00:02:00,960 --> 00:02:04,200
Speaker 1: like thirty soggies, and so there was a Soggy stash

44
00:02:04,240 --> 00:02:07,000
Speaker 1: somewhere in case something happened. Then my sister who was

45
00:02:07,040 --> 00:02:10,640
Speaker 1: an extremely discerning of discerning taste of the soggies. She

46
00:02:10,720 --> 00:02:13,160
Speaker 1: not only knew which soggi was which, but she knew

47
00:02:13,200 --> 00:02:17,080
Speaker 1: which was off brand correct because like, they stopped making soggy.

48
00:02:17,200 --> 00:02:19,240
Speaker 1: So my mom found something that was just like it.

49
00:02:19,680 --> 00:02:22,200
Speaker 1: Oh no, no, no, no, no, that wasn't gonna do because

50
00:02:22,200 --> 00:02:24,239
Speaker 1: this is not like the other one. And of course

51
00:02:24,280 --> 00:02:26,239
Speaker 1: the one she wanted was the one that was completely

52
00:02:26,280 --> 00:02:28,560
Speaker 1: worn in, you know, and had been drug across the

53
00:02:28,720 --> 00:02:32,519
Speaker 1: you know the world. And so yeah, but Bell, excuse me, gig,

54
00:02:32,720 --> 00:02:34,040
Speaker 1: she knows. She knows if you don't give it the

55
00:02:34,080 --> 00:02:34,520
Speaker 1: right one.

56
00:02:34,760 --> 00:02:37,440
Speaker 4: Yeah, she's got the stuffed animal that well it's miss Rachel.

57
00:02:37,520 --> 00:02:39,760
Speaker 4: But she knows when it's not the og one. I

58
00:02:39,760 --> 00:02:41,760
Speaker 4: don't know if it's like a scent thing or she

59
00:02:41,919 --> 00:02:44,880
Speaker 4: just knows. But like I've I bought multiple because I

60
00:02:44,919 --> 00:02:46,480
Speaker 4: knew this is gonna happen. We're gonna end up leaving

61
00:02:46,480 --> 00:02:48,280
Speaker 4: it somewhere, you know, we go to our family dinners

62
00:02:48,280 --> 00:02:50,480
Speaker 4: at Hooters or whatever, we're gonna up leaving it. And

63
00:02:50,560 --> 00:02:52,960
Speaker 4: it's happened where we have left it. We've gone back

64
00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:56,080
Speaker 4: for it. But she just knows, and it's funny that

65
00:02:56,120 --> 00:02:58,280
Speaker 4: they were so funny with those little stuffed animals.

66
00:02:58,639 --> 00:03:00,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's that's say if at Paul in this household,

67
00:03:00,919 --> 00:03:05,280
Speaker 1: she left the stuffed Miss Rachel Dole at Hooters after

68
00:03:05,440 --> 00:03:06,120
Speaker 1: family dinner.

69
00:03:06,200 --> 00:03:08,080
Speaker 2: Hey, Rachel wants boobs and beer. I mean, what am

70
00:03:08,080 --> 00:03:08,920
Speaker 2: I supposed to say?

71
00:03:09,520 --> 00:03:11,560
Speaker 1: There's nothing wrong with them exactly. There's nothing to be

72
00:03:11,600 --> 00:03:14,000
Speaker 1: ashamed of there. You didn't have something like this. I

73
00:03:14,040 --> 00:03:15,320
Speaker 1: had childhood trauma.

74
00:03:15,240 --> 00:03:15,799
Speaker 2: Yeah plenty.

75
00:03:16,040 --> 00:03:19,440
Speaker 5: But I had a Barney, a Barney stuffed animals, and

76
00:03:19,760 --> 00:03:20,880
Speaker 5: I didn't have it for long.

77
00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:22,040
Speaker 2: But like my when I was.

78
00:03:21,960 --> 00:03:24,280
Speaker 5: A little kid, they always tell a story about they

79
00:03:24,600 --> 00:03:27,400
Speaker 5: left it at my grandparents' house in the city and

80
00:03:27,560 --> 00:03:29,480
Speaker 5: got all the way to the Northwest suburbs and had

81
00:03:29,480 --> 00:03:33,280
Speaker 5: to turn around to go get my Barney because I

82
00:03:33,360 --> 00:03:38,280
Speaker 5: was throwing a tantrum over Barney. Where Barney is Marston

83
00:03:38,320 --> 00:03:40,240
Speaker 5: Pea's Barney. I don't know whatever happened to that thing.

84
00:03:41,160 --> 00:03:42,400
Speaker 1: I mean, I guess that's what you have to do

85
00:03:42,440 --> 00:03:45,480
Speaker 1: as a parent, is one maybe one day you just

86
00:03:45,560 --> 00:03:48,880
Speaker 1: take Barney away, and then Barney just sort of disappears,

87
00:03:48,920 --> 00:03:53,040
Speaker 1: and you learn to move on without Barney or me, and.

88
00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:54,440
Speaker 2: Then you just carry the thing through life.

89
00:03:54,440 --> 00:03:55,760
Speaker 1: You know, you have a little Blankey in the bed

90
00:03:55,800 --> 00:03:58,960
Speaker 1: still to this day, I think it does exist somewhere.

91
00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:01,280
Speaker 1: I think my mom kept it Blanky, but it was

92
00:04:01,320 --> 00:04:04,520
Speaker 1: there won't much left of it after you know, many

93
00:04:04,560 --> 00:04:06,839
Speaker 1: years of whatever. In fact, I remember one family trip

94
00:04:06,880 --> 00:04:09,160
Speaker 1: we went to see my grandparents in Peoria, Illinois, and

95
00:04:09,400 --> 00:04:12,160
Speaker 1: uh and Blankie somehow got left behind and Blankie got

96
00:04:12,200 --> 00:04:15,400
Speaker 1: fedexed overnight. I can't imagine what that would have cost

97
00:04:15,840 --> 00:04:18,400
Speaker 1: at the time, but apparently there was a I was,

98
00:04:18,440 --> 00:04:19,880
Speaker 1: you know, five or six years old, and there was

99
00:04:19,920 --> 00:04:23,120
Speaker 1: a serious meltdown because where how on earth was I

100
00:04:23,200 --> 00:04:24,240
Speaker 1: to function without that thing?

101
00:04:24,680 --> 00:04:25,520
Speaker 2: Right? But you left?

102
00:04:25,640 --> 00:04:30,040
Speaker 5: But what I didn't realize, Like, girl, you left the barney,

103
00:04:30,120 --> 00:04:31,440
Speaker 5: but you need the barney so bad.

104
00:04:31,480 --> 00:04:34,040
Speaker 2: But you you're the one that let well.

105
00:04:34,200 --> 00:04:36,000
Speaker 1: But I don't know if I was responsible at six

106
00:04:36,040 --> 00:04:38,240
Speaker 1: for packing my own belongings, I don't I don't know if,

107
00:04:38,279 --> 00:04:40,920
Speaker 1: like I, I should have had that responsibility, because I

108
00:04:40,960 --> 00:04:42,359
Speaker 1: don't know what I would have brought. You know, if

109
00:04:42,440 --> 00:04:44,920
Speaker 1: I was responsible for, you know, packing for a week

110
00:04:44,960 --> 00:04:47,839
Speaker 1: at six, I don't know. I probably would have brought

111
00:04:47,880 --> 00:04:49,880
Speaker 1: like well, I probably would have just brought blankie and

112
00:04:49,880 --> 00:04:51,960
Speaker 1: that's it exactly. And then I would have had no

113
00:04:52,040 --> 00:04:56,200
Speaker 1: Chiloney's or you know, little uh, no fear shirts to.

114
00:04:56,120 --> 00:04:57,960
Speaker 2: Wear or anything. I don't know what. I don't know

115
00:04:57,960 --> 00:04:58,680
Speaker 2: what I would have done.

116
00:04:58,960 --> 00:05:01,360
Speaker 1: But anyway, I wasn't sure if any of you had

117
00:05:01,400 --> 00:05:05,320
Speaker 1: like a serious connection with with any kind of stuffed animal.

00:06:02,400 --> 00:06:05,360
