WEBVTT - BONUS: Keep Calm And Carry On

0:00:05.920 --> 0:00:08.360
<v Speaker 1>Hella, my Loves. Welcome to the bonus episode of the

0:00:08.400 --> 0:00:09.639
<v Speaker 1>Get Them a La Podcast.

0:00:09.920 --> 0:00:11.400
<v Speaker 2>T oh Hey.

0:00:12.480 --> 0:00:15.680
<v Speaker 1>So I was thinking of questions that I had for

0:00:15.760 --> 0:00:20.079
<v Speaker 1>you guys for the bonus and today's. I wanted to know, basically,

0:00:20.200 --> 0:00:24.400
<v Speaker 1>how do you, as an adult or a parent react

0:00:24.720 --> 0:00:30.280
<v Speaker 1>in an emergency type situation, whether it's evacuation, your kid

0:00:30.360 --> 0:00:32.960
<v Speaker 1>got hurt. I wanted to know it all. And I

0:00:32.960 --> 0:00:35.880
<v Speaker 1>actually got some really good responses, but also some really

0:00:35.880 --> 0:00:38.040
<v Speaker 1>funny ones. And you'd be shocked at how many people

0:00:38.200 --> 0:00:46.280
<v Speaker 1>just say, my parental intuition kicks in and I'm like okay.

0:00:46.320 --> 0:00:47.680
<v Speaker 1>So I had a lot of those, but then other

0:00:47.680 --> 0:00:50.680
<v Speaker 1>people who were like, I don't I freak. I completely freaking.

0:00:51.200 --> 0:00:57.120
<v Speaker 2>Depends on the situation it happens to you, mom babies,

0:00:57.440 --> 0:01:03.560
<v Speaker 2>I'm good, like I can be calm and go okay

0:01:03.640 --> 0:01:06.600
<v Speaker 2>A to b to see, let's get us there right.

0:01:06.640 --> 0:01:11.640
<v Speaker 2>If it happens to me, it's flustered, fetal position and

0:01:11.760 --> 0:01:12.760
<v Speaker 2>whatever happens happens.

0:01:12.920 --> 0:01:15.800
<v Speaker 1>Cause some people do short circuit. Oh that's me in

0:01:16.959 --> 0:01:19.320
<v Speaker 1>situations where you have to make.

0:01:20.040 --> 0:01:21.320
<v Speaker 2>A split decision. Yes.

0:01:21.880 --> 0:01:25.960
<v Speaker 1>So this actually took me back to I think Ocean

0:01:26.120 --> 0:01:30.600
<v Speaker 1>was probably a year and some months and we were

0:01:30.640 --> 0:01:34.000
<v Speaker 1>at the apartment still and there was so little room

0:01:34.080 --> 0:01:38.400
<v Speaker 1>between like the dresser and the bed, and I was

0:01:38.440 --> 0:01:40.160
<v Speaker 1>worried that she was going to fall off the bed

0:01:40.240 --> 0:01:42.160
<v Speaker 1>and she because she was very close to the edge.

0:01:42.160 --> 0:01:44.400
<v Speaker 1>And keep in mind, I was right there so and

0:01:44.440 --> 0:01:46.920
<v Speaker 1>she's standing, so I tell her, Ocean, you have to,

0:01:47.120 --> 0:01:49.880
<v Speaker 1>you know, move farther onto the bed. Mom was literally

0:01:49.920 --> 0:01:53.760
<v Speaker 1>sitting on the bed as well, and she looks at me,

0:01:53.800 --> 0:01:57.120
<v Speaker 1>and I think she's going to start walking from close

0:01:57.160 --> 0:01:58.559
<v Speaker 1>to where she is at the edge of the bed

0:01:58.800 --> 0:02:01.600
<v Speaker 1>to the middle of the bed and instead, and I'm

0:02:01.640 --> 0:02:04.680
<v Speaker 1>kind of like holding her hands slightly to help her,

0:02:05.320 --> 0:02:07.640
<v Speaker 1>and she looks at me and gives me like this

0:02:07.760 --> 0:02:12.200
<v Speaker 1>devious little grin and jumps to sit back. But she

0:02:12.320 --> 0:02:14.680
<v Speaker 1>was close to the edge, so when she went to

0:02:15.400 --> 0:02:18.280
<v Speaker 1>jump and fall on her bum you go backwards a little,

0:02:19.280 --> 0:02:23.320
<v Speaker 1>she was basically, you know, falling to the ground and

0:02:23.400 --> 0:02:26.679
<v Speaker 1>I tried my best to catch her, but she hit

0:02:27.480 --> 0:02:29.160
<v Speaker 1>the floor. And keep in mind, this is an apartment

0:02:29.200 --> 0:02:33.880
<v Speaker 1>with like it's basically concrete with like linoleum. There's no

0:02:34.120 --> 0:02:37.600
<v Speaker 1>cushion or anything like that. It's basically a tile floor

0:02:37.760 --> 0:02:40.680
<v Speaker 1>that's meant to look like wood. They call it these days,

0:02:40.720 --> 0:02:44.800
<v Speaker 1>to make it sound more bougie, they call it pet

0:02:44.840 --> 0:02:50.040
<v Speaker 1>friendly flooring. So she falls and hits that floor right here,

0:02:50.680 --> 0:02:53.799
<v Speaker 1>and she screams. And I'm panicking because this is the

0:02:53.840 --> 0:02:56.960
<v Speaker 1>first fall off of the bed, and you hear like

0:02:57.040 --> 0:02:59.760
<v Speaker 1>kids are gonna fall off the bed. Please make sure

0:02:59.840 --> 0:03:04.239
<v Speaker 1>to guard your stairs because that is a terrifying trap.

0:03:04.840 --> 0:03:06.840
<v Speaker 1>And I thought I was doing so well to get

0:03:06.919 --> 0:03:10.639
<v Speaker 1>her to a year and some change without having anything

0:03:10.840 --> 0:03:16.000
<v Speaker 1>horrendous happen. So I'm freaking out and trying to console

0:03:16.040 --> 0:03:18.440
<v Speaker 1>her as she screams, and all of the sudden, she

0:03:19.600 --> 0:03:23.600
<v Speaker 1>stops crying and I have her like this against me,

0:03:23.680 --> 0:03:29.640
<v Speaker 1>and I lean her back, and you guys, she's dead weight.

0:03:30.120 --> 0:03:32.760
<v Speaker 1>Her eyes are rolling into the back of her head.

0:03:34.080 --> 0:03:37.120
<v Speaker 1>I'm screaming at my mom. Call nine one one, Call

0:03:37.240 --> 0:03:41.600
<v Speaker 1>nine one one, my mother. What was maybe thirty seconds

0:03:42.560 --> 0:03:46.160
<v Speaker 1>felt like an eternity. My mom had a phone in

0:03:46.200 --> 0:03:48.680
<v Speaker 1>her hand and she didn't know what to do with it.

0:03:48.880 --> 0:03:54.120
<v Speaker 1>She completely froze, and I, for the first I cannot

0:03:54.200 --> 0:03:56.880
<v Speaker 1>believe that I handled this situation like I did. And

0:03:56.880 --> 0:03:59.120
<v Speaker 1>that's why I kind of relate to people who were saying,

0:03:59.240 --> 0:04:02.440
<v Speaker 1>you know you're your MoMA. Intuition kind of kicks in

0:04:02.960 --> 0:04:06.800
<v Speaker 1>because I took the phone from my mom. For some reason,

0:04:06.840 --> 0:04:12.320
<v Speaker 1>I remembered the past code dialed nine one one. I

0:04:12.440 --> 0:04:17.920
<v Speaker 1>was completely calm, told them the exact address, and as

0:04:17.960 --> 0:04:22.239
<v Speaker 1>she's trying to the dispatcher is trying to like cut

0:04:22.279 --> 0:04:24.720
<v Speaker 1>me off, is what I felt. I said, you have

0:04:24.800 --> 0:04:28.240
<v Speaker 1>to listen to me. There are multiple entries to my

0:04:28.400 --> 0:04:32.680
<v Speaker 1>building you must enter at this point. You must use

0:04:32.839 --> 0:04:36.360
<v Speaker 1>this code to get in, like I gave. I've never

0:04:36.440 --> 0:04:39.480
<v Speaker 1>given that precisive direction to someone who was like to

0:04:39.560 --> 0:04:42.000
<v Speaker 1>my postmates, guy, like you blacked.

0:04:41.640 --> 0:04:45.000
<v Speaker 2>Out and just everything that needed to be known you knew,

0:04:45.200 --> 0:04:46.719
<v Speaker 2>and you just said yes.

0:04:47.279 --> 0:04:49.920
<v Speaker 1>And she was saying, you know they're coming by siren,

0:04:50.040 --> 0:04:52.360
<v Speaker 1>you will hear them. And I was like, I'm at

0:04:52.360 --> 0:04:55.120
<v Speaker 1>this point, I'm like, I don't hear anything. I don't

0:04:55.160 --> 0:04:58.680
<v Speaker 1>hear anything, and I'm looking at Ocean and she's kind

0:04:58.680 --> 0:05:02.760
<v Speaker 1>of coming to and I was asking Ocean questions at

0:05:02.760 --> 0:05:05.960
<v Speaker 1>that point, how old are you? What's your name? And

0:05:06.000 --> 0:05:07.800
<v Speaker 1>I just you know, she was very young, so she

0:05:07.839 --> 0:05:10.400
<v Speaker 1>didn't have her vocabulary wasn't the same as what I

0:05:10.440 --> 0:05:13.479
<v Speaker 1>would ask now, I did end up having them take

0:05:13.560 --> 0:05:16.479
<v Speaker 1>us by ambulance to make sure that nothing was happening

0:05:16.560 --> 0:05:20.359
<v Speaker 1>that I couldn't actually see. And in that ride, she

0:05:20.680 --> 0:05:25.160
<v Speaker 1>was singing rocket Man and the guy was like, I

0:05:25.200 --> 0:05:28.560
<v Speaker 1>think she's totally fine, but I understand why you want

0:05:28.600 --> 0:05:32.560
<v Speaker 1>to take her. Uh, And that's how I responded in

0:05:32.600 --> 0:05:35.760
<v Speaker 1>that moment. But I couldn't. I truly couldn't believe it.

0:05:35.960 --> 0:05:39.120
<v Speaker 2>No, but you've done that a lot of times. I

0:05:39.160 --> 0:05:41.839
<v Speaker 2>even feel like when we were in you know, high school,

0:05:41.880 --> 0:05:45.680
<v Speaker 2>and things would happen. Dad was very good, but I

0:05:45.720 --> 0:05:50.160
<v Speaker 2>remember like things happening even in Saint George or Lake Powell. Yeah,

0:05:50.200 --> 0:05:53.520
<v Speaker 2>and I was younger, but like when Dad would say something,

0:05:53.680 --> 0:05:58.080
<v Speaker 2>I do remember you being the help, his help and

0:05:58.160 --> 0:06:01.120
<v Speaker 2>not freezing. And I don't know, I don't feel like

0:06:01.160 --> 0:06:03.120
<v Speaker 2>a freezer. I don't know if I've been in a

0:06:03.120 --> 0:06:05.720
<v Speaker 2>lot of things, but I am mollum. Yeah, so I

0:06:05.839 --> 0:06:06.240
<v Speaker 2>might be.

0:06:06.320 --> 0:06:09.599
<v Speaker 1>Oh, she was staring at you.

0:06:09.600 --> 0:06:12.760
<v Speaker 2>You've done it. You've done it many times before. Yeah.

0:06:12.839 --> 0:06:15.080
<v Speaker 2>I feel like I think I black out. You do blackout.

0:06:15.120 --> 0:06:19.200
<v Speaker 2>It's just you. You go with just your intuition and

0:06:19.240 --> 0:06:22.480
<v Speaker 2>everything else, and you just black out and do it. Yeah.

0:06:22.839 --> 0:06:25.839
<v Speaker 1>No, totally. This person said, I have to remind myself

0:06:25.880 --> 0:06:28.480
<v Speaker 1>I am setting an example for them, for her kids.

0:06:29.440 --> 0:06:32.640
<v Speaker 1>Sometimes that's hard though, in the moment, when you're in

0:06:32.680 --> 0:06:37.040
<v Speaker 1>an emergency situation and it's fight or flight, I personally

0:06:37.120 --> 0:06:39.839
<v Speaker 1>the last thing on my mind is I need to

0:06:39.880 --> 0:06:42.440
<v Speaker 1>set an example. But again, it depends on what you're

0:06:42.480 --> 0:06:44.840
<v Speaker 1>going through. I used to flip my shit as a

0:06:44.920 --> 0:06:50.599
<v Speaker 1>knee jerk reaction. Now I am just heavily medicated. I

0:06:50.640 --> 0:06:54.560
<v Speaker 1>think a lot of moms will relate to that, or

0:06:54.640 --> 0:06:57.280
<v Speaker 1>just adults without children, just life gets a little bit.

0:06:57.640 --> 0:07:00.280
<v Speaker 2>I don't know, lie, oh my god.

0:07:00.080 --> 0:07:04.560
<v Speaker 1>Well you kind of just not by choice. Uh, you

0:07:04.680 --> 0:07:07.440
<v Speaker 1>have no other choice as a parent. I think it's instinct.

0:07:07.480 --> 0:07:10.640
<v Speaker 1>Our children feel what we feel. That's the other thing.

0:07:10.920 --> 0:07:13.840
<v Speaker 1>It's kind of like when your kid falls down and

0:07:13.920 --> 0:07:16.000
<v Speaker 1>they look at you to see how you're going to

0:07:16.080 --> 0:07:17.440
<v Speaker 1>go to react.

0:07:17.360 --> 0:07:21.600
<v Speaker 2>And I will say, your reactions are always over the top.

0:07:22.000 --> 0:07:25.360
<v Speaker 2>Wait really, oh my gosha, Like if something happens to

0:07:25.400 --> 0:07:29.760
<v Speaker 2>ocean and right when you do that, your reaction makes

0:07:29.760 --> 0:07:31.560
<v Speaker 2>her react before so.

0:07:31.400 --> 0:07:35.360
<v Speaker 1>Sa even yeah, because sometimes.

0:07:36.160 --> 0:07:38.240
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, no, I really will, because there's a lot of

0:07:38.240 --> 0:07:41.400
<v Speaker 2>times where like something will happen and you'll overreact. But

0:07:41.440 --> 0:07:44.280
<v Speaker 2>it's hard because you're the parent as well, so it's

0:07:44.320 --> 0:07:46.960
<v Speaker 2>like you want a comfort, but you also don't want

0:07:47.000 --> 0:07:49.840
<v Speaker 2>to do it. So it's like, ah, you blackout in

0:07:49.840 --> 0:07:52.400
<v Speaker 2>that month, it just you overreact.

0:07:52.400 --> 0:07:55.440
<v Speaker 1>Well, I also need my mind goes a million miles

0:07:55.440 --> 0:07:57.640
<v Speaker 1>ahead of like how bad it could have been, So

0:07:57.720 --> 0:08:00.840
<v Speaker 1>I need her to understand in that moment we cannot

0:08:00.840 --> 0:08:03.640
<v Speaker 1>do that again, because even just a slight fall, I

0:08:03.640 --> 0:08:06.720
<v Speaker 1>immediately go to an intrusive thought of oh my gosh,

0:08:06.960 --> 0:08:09.720
<v Speaker 1>she could have snapped her neck this way, but she

0:08:09.840 --> 0:08:12.480
<v Speaker 1>realized died but she didn't, but she could have.

0:08:12.840 --> 0:08:15.440
<v Speaker 2>Because now I have to tell her every time I

0:08:15.520 --> 0:08:17.880
<v Speaker 2>watch her it's Freeman's game.

0:08:18.040 --> 0:08:20.320
<v Speaker 1>Oh lovely, she fell.

0:08:20.760 --> 0:08:23.920
<v Speaker 2>Many a time in her Yes, she's great. She plays

0:08:24.040 --> 0:08:26.520
<v Speaker 2>in her playroom, but like she'll be on her tramp

0:08:26.560 --> 0:08:29.200
<v Speaker 2>doing something and I'll be like, no, she's going to fall,

0:08:29.440 --> 0:08:32.360
<v Speaker 2>and boy does she fall. And every time I'm like,

0:08:32.400 --> 0:08:35.280
<v Speaker 2>I'm just not looking, she'll look immediately at me, and

0:08:35.360 --> 0:08:39.040
<v Speaker 2>after I don't stare geriff reel, she'll slowly get up

0:08:39.240 --> 0:08:42.120
<v Speaker 2>and move things to act like she didn't fall.

0:08:42.280 --> 0:08:44.600
<v Speaker 1>All I think about is if we reinjure those teeth,

0:08:44.600 --> 0:08:46.960
<v Speaker 1>they're going to turn flat, they're falling out.

0:08:47.000 --> 0:08:48.600
<v Speaker 2>Anyway, she's got a new set coming.

0:08:48.440 --> 0:08:52.400
<v Speaker 1>In damage to the real root. Weirdly, I lose all

0:08:52.440 --> 0:08:55.440
<v Speaker 1>emotion and just go into work mode. Very weird. And

0:08:55.480 --> 0:08:58.040
<v Speaker 1>when I look back, heartless, question mark, I don't think

0:08:58.080 --> 0:08:58.439
<v Speaker 1>that that's no.

0:08:58.800 --> 0:09:02.120
<v Speaker 2>No, I'm going to say that you being heartless. I

0:09:02.160 --> 0:09:04.920
<v Speaker 2>guess if that's what we're gonna call it in those moments,

0:09:05.160 --> 0:09:08.040
<v Speaker 2>that's you putting on your mask first. Yeah, you being

0:09:08.120 --> 0:09:10.880
<v Speaker 2>heartless is getting a lot of people through it because

0:09:10.920 --> 0:09:14.880
<v Speaker 2>some people don't need to hear. Some people just need

0:09:14.920 --> 0:09:16.240
<v Speaker 2>to be told, like you gotta do it.

0:09:16.200 --> 0:09:18.360
<v Speaker 1>My gay like you, they freeze.

0:09:18.360 --> 0:09:20.760
<v Speaker 2>It's nice. You don't need to do anything. You just

0:09:20.800 --> 0:09:23.840
<v Speaker 2>need to get everybody a to b And if you

0:09:23.880 --> 0:09:27.080
<v Speaker 2>gotta be heartless to do it, it's because those people

0:09:27.240 --> 0:09:29.120
<v Speaker 2>need that reaction.

0:09:29.360 --> 0:09:31.200
<v Speaker 1>I have so much running through my mind right now.

0:09:31.640 --> 0:09:34.280
<v Speaker 2>No, I really do like this because I'm thinking about

0:09:34.320 --> 0:09:36.760
<v Speaker 2>a lot of the things, and the more I think

0:09:36.760 --> 0:09:39.560
<v Speaker 2>about it, the more I don't freeze. But like, there's

0:09:39.600 --> 0:09:41.319
<v Speaker 2>a lot of the times where I'm like, I don't

0:09:41.360 --> 0:09:45.280
<v Speaker 2>know what to do, so I just start doing a

0:09:45.320 --> 0:09:45.960
<v Speaker 2>lot of nothing.

0:09:46.040 --> 0:09:50.280
<v Speaker 1>But something makes sense that sounds like not a lot

0:09:50.320 --> 0:09:50.679
<v Speaker 1>of help.

0:09:51.200 --> 0:09:51.520
<v Speaker 2>I'm not.

0:09:52.040 --> 0:09:53.040
<v Speaker 1>Oh great, so.

0:09:53.000 --> 0:09:57.280
<v Speaker 2>It's just I freeze, but I don't freeze, Okay, you

0:09:57.320 --> 0:09:59.560
<v Speaker 2>get it, Like I'm just sporadic.

0:09:59.240 --> 0:10:01.160
<v Speaker 1>You know, I p we never have to find out

0:10:01.480 --> 0:10:05.920
<v Speaker 1>you're like this person said, you don't you fake it

0:10:05.960 --> 0:10:09.440
<v Speaker 1>for the kids and panic internally. Mom of three, including

0:10:09.480 --> 0:10:11.560
<v Speaker 1>a four month old, that's a lot when you have

0:10:11.559 --> 0:10:14.160
<v Speaker 1>an infant that can't even that can barely they just

0:10:14.280 --> 0:10:16.319
<v Speaker 1>learned to like hold their own head up. Could you

0:10:16.360 --> 0:10:19.360
<v Speaker 1>imagine being in a situation where it is your job

0:10:19.400 --> 0:10:23.600
<v Speaker 1>to rally everyone in your household in the emergency situation

0:10:24.200 --> 0:10:25.000
<v Speaker 1>on top.

0:10:24.760 --> 0:10:26.280
<v Speaker 2>Of keeping composure.

0:10:26.920 --> 0:10:30.520
<v Speaker 1>I just it can't be done. Simply cannot be done.

0:10:30.600 --> 0:10:34.679
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I'm telling you a mom's I mean, moms is

0:10:34.720 --> 0:10:36.520
<v Speaker 2>that's a hard job. It's the hardest job in the

0:10:36.520 --> 0:10:37.760
<v Speaker 2>world to be a mom.

0:10:37.880 --> 0:10:39.400
<v Speaker 1>It's also very exhausting.

0:10:39.760 --> 0:10:43.559
<v Speaker 2>I can tell I'm catching it. I get the secondhand exhaustment.

0:10:43.800 --> 0:10:46.720
<v Speaker 1>Sometimes when I look at myself, I go, you do

0:10:46.840 --> 0:10:49.360
<v Speaker 1>look like one of those moms who's just like.

0:10:49.920 --> 0:10:52.680
<v Speaker 2>Fuck it, and isn't it a great place to be?

0:10:53.080 --> 0:10:55.640
<v Speaker 1>You know, sometimes I'd like to remind myself that I

0:10:55.720 --> 0:10:58.520
<v Speaker 1>like I wore a heel the other night, and I was.

0:10:58.480 --> 0:11:01.120
<v Speaker 2>Like a baby tear. I'm like, what are they gonna

0:11:01.120 --> 0:11:01.960
<v Speaker 2>start practicing?

0:11:03.320 --> 0:11:10.200
<v Speaker 1>My knees are aching, literally mortifying. I was like walking

0:11:10.280 --> 0:11:12.680
<v Speaker 1>up the stairs like praying that the door guy didn't

0:11:12.720 --> 0:11:19.000
<v Speaker 1>look at me like this stupid homely bitch you wear. No,

0:11:19.200 --> 0:11:21.200
<v Speaker 1>that's the whole point. I've got to get out of

0:11:21.240 --> 0:11:24.840
<v Speaker 1>the sweatshirts and out of like I actually felt really

0:11:24.880 --> 0:11:27.760
<v Speaker 1>cute and OHI when I like pulled myself together enough

0:11:27.760 --> 0:11:30.120
<v Speaker 1>with like an off the shoulder sweater, like a pair

0:11:30.160 --> 0:11:32.679
<v Speaker 1>of jeans that are actually in style now I think

0:11:32.760 --> 0:11:34.240
<v Speaker 1>they had a rip in them, which I think is

0:11:34.280 --> 0:11:37.080
<v Speaker 1>not in style anymore. But I can't keep up.

0:11:37.000 --> 0:11:39.520
<v Speaker 2>Fully, No, there's just I wear what I have.

0:11:40.600 --> 0:11:42.920
<v Speaker 1>Think of being a child again, How if things were

0:11:42.920 --> 0:11:47.240
<v Speaker 1>handled calmly, I wouldn't have anxiety today. Oh my god,

0:11:47.280 --> 0:11:50.160
<v Speaker 1>I'm stressing now. Am I causing my children anxiety? I

0:11:50.200 --> 0:11:53.280
<v Speaker 1>hope not. I try to be calm. We spoke about

0:11:53.280 --> 0:11:55.480
<v Speaker 1>this on the last episode of or No a few

0:11:55.559 --> 0:12:00.840
<v Speaker 1>episodes back. How I've learned the parenting tools that Ocean needs.

0:12:01.640 --> 0:12:02.760
<v Speaker 2>That really dug into me.

0:12:03.000 --> 0:12:03.560
<v Speaker 1>What do you mean?

0:12:04.960 --> 0:12:07.000
<v Speaker 2>I was trying to think of like all of the

0:12:07.040 --> 0:12:09.400
<v Speaker 2>back things that happened with mom and dad that like

0:12:10.080 --> 0:12:14.360
<v Speaker 2>we're stressful events that did they cause me stresses?

0:12:14.600 --> 0:12:16.800
<v Speaker 1>Okay, I'm going to say something that's probably going to

0:12:16.840 --> 0:12:19.800
<v Speaker 1>be a super unpopular opinion and I may get dragged

0:12:19.800 --> 0:12:23.400
<v Speaker 1>for it, but I'm okay with it. Every single person

0:12:23.520 --> 0:12:26.520
<v Speaker 1>on the planet so it is going to require a

0:12:26.679 --> 0:12:30.200
<v Speaker 1>different set of skills and parents do the best they can.

0:12:31.040 --> 0:12:35.480
<v Speaker 2>It's just nice to maybe understand where you're at. I can't.

0:12:36.120 --> 0:12:38.960
<v Speaker 2>Here's it. Yeah, I'm not I'm not saying like, oh

0:12:39.080 --> 0:12:41.439
<v Speaker 2>I am okay to feel this way because my mom

0:12:41.520 --> 0:12:46.760
<v Speaker 2>and dad. Right, I'm saying it's fun to see that

0:12:47.000 --> 0:12:51.280
<v Speaker 2>maybe things that happened have made me this way, and

0:12:51.320 --> 0:12:55.840
<v Speaker 2>now I can start to understand that these situations betray

0:12:56.040 --> 0:12:57.240
<v Speaker 2>you the anxiety.

0:12:57.280 --> 0:12:59.920
<v Speaker 1>Okay, I like that. Yeah, but you know what I do?

0:13:00.120 --> 0:13:03.079
<v Speaker 1>You like putting? Anytime someone writes in this says put

0:13:03.080 --> 0:13:04.880
<v Speaker 1>the shoe on the other foot, what did you need?

0:13:04.960 --> 0:13:06.720
<v Speaker 1>It's like when we spoke to Jenna and I said,

0:13:07.160 --> 0:13:09.640
<v Speaker 1>Ocean requires this set of parenting skills. She needs to

0:13:09.640 --> 0:13:12.400
<v Speaker 1>be spoken too calmly. Jenna immediately said, is that how

0:13:12.440 --> 0:13:14.440
<v Speaker 1>you need to be spoken? To and I was like,

0:13:14.520 --> 0:13:17.959
<v Speaker 1>oh my god, maybe that is true, because what happens

0:13:18.000 --> 0:13:22.240
<v Speaker 1>is when someone tries to get hyphi with me or someone,

0:13:23.320 --> 0:13:25.440
<v Speaker 1>I see their anxiety level rise.

0:13:26.040 --> 0:13:28.200
<v Speaker 2>You match energy, I do match energy.

0:13:28.240 --> 0:13:28.760
<v Speaker 1>I hate that.

0:13:29.040 --> 0:13:32.240
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, you're an energy. Yeah so if well, that's how

0:13:32.280 --> 0:13:36.319
<v Speaker 2>I've started to both of you. You and love oh no,

0:13:36.640 --> 0:13:39.360
<v Speaker 2>when we are very rare. But when you, guys, when

0:13:39.640 --> 0:13:43.760
<v Speaker 2>stuff is starting to pile up and you start attacking

0:13:43.800 --> 0:13:47.320
<v Speaker 2>me or I attack you, like, I go, oh god, yeah,

0:13:47.520 --> 0:13:47.920
<v Speaker 2>oh god.

0:13:48.000 --> 0:13:50.920
<v Speaker 1>I'm so good at feeling overwhelmed and being like and it's.

0:13:50.800 --> 0:13:53.360
<v Speaker 2>All your God. And that's the other thing is like,

0:13:53.440 --> 0:13:56.400
<v Speaker 2>why you shit on the counter.

0:13:56.600 --> 0:13:57.880
<v Speaker 1>He kind of wiped it off.

0:13:57.960 --> 0:13:58.800
<v Speaker 2>That was last night.

0:14:00.040 --> 0:14:02.880
<v Speaker 1>The second because it didn't happen. This person's I call

0:14:02.960 --> 0:14:06.160
<v Speaker 1>my mom relatable. I don't need to call it. Your

0:14:06.320 --> 0:14:10.320
<v Speaker 1>calling of the mom is probably dialing. I go mom, mom,

0:14:11.080 --> 0:14:14.679
<v Speaker 1>No for real. United separated my then three and a

0:14:14.720 --> 0:14:19.000
<v Speaker 1>half year old from me on a flight from o'hairtool Orlando.

0:14:19.800 --> 0:14:23.400
<v Speaker 1>How yeah, because that's not a lap child anymore. I

0:14:23.440 --> 0:14:28.040
<v Speaker 1>feel like that's not okay, and I think I would

0:14:28.120 --> 0:14:30.440
<v Speaker 1>have lost it and been removed from this is craped.

0:14:30.720 --> 0:14:32.800
<v Speaker 2>So they had to sit away from each other on

0:14:32.800 --> 0:14:37.400
<v Speaker 2>the plane. My thing is, if I was on that plane,

0:14:37.920 --> 0:14:39.840
<v Speaker 2>I would have been like next to her, I would

0:14:39.880 --> 0:14:42.360
<v Speaker 2>have said, your child is not near you. I will

0:14:42.440 --> 0:14:44.560
<v Speaker 2>I won't know where your child is. And I would

0:14:44.640 --> 0:14:48.040
<v Speaker 2>assume whoever the child's seat was in or the guy

0:14:48.080 --> 0:14:50.040
<v Speaker 2>was in the middle, like you should have been like, yeah,

0:14:50.120 --> 0:14:51.840
<v Speaker 2>let's just swap like to me.

0:14:51.840 --> 0:14:55.040
<v Speaker 1>That sometimes I people on volumes.

0:14:54.360 --> 0:14:55.880
<v Speaker 2>About the people on the plane.

0:14:55.960 --> 0:14:58.480
<v Speaker 1>No, you guys. I was flying back from Salt Lake

0:14:58.480 --> 0:15:01.000
<v Speaker 1>to LA. My dad had just died. My mom and

0:15:01.040 --> 0:15:05.200
<v Speaker 1>I wanted to sit together aka drink together, and this

0:15:05.240 --> 0:15:06.320
<v Speaker 1>guy wouldn't fucking move.

0:15:06.600 --> 0:15:08.280
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, So the other.

0:15:09.800 --> 0:15:14.000
<v Speaker 1>No was in a middle seat, and so this nice

0:15:14.040 --> 0:15:21.440
<v Speaker 1>woman and her husband they ended up separating, and so

0:15:21.520 --> 0:15:22.480
<v Speaker 1>Mom and I could sit together.

0:15:22.520 --> 0:15:26.560
<v Speaker 2>And I was like, this guy, you fucking I won't forget.

0:15:27.000 --> 0:15:30.400
<v Speaker 2>I was flying from Miami to South Carolina. Was uh,

0:15:30.560 --> 0:15:33.160
<v Speaker 2>I was coming back to LA. Yeah, but from Miami

0:15:33.240 --> 0:15:36.480
<v Speaker 2>to South Carolina there were there was two people in

0:15:36.560 --> 0:15:38.840
<v Speaker 2>first class that wanted to sit by each other. No

0:15:38.880 --> 0:15:42.480
<v Speaker 2>one would move, and so they went to two people

0:15:42.600 --> 0:15:45.400
<v Speaker 2>in just like Delta comfort and gave them there too,

0:15:45.600 --> 0:15:49.080
<v Speaker 2>so they could sit next to each other. Cute, right,

0:15:49.320 --> 0:15:50.520
<v Speaker 2>I was like, that is cute.

0:15:50.720 --> 0:15:53.960
<v Speaker 1>I have to say I've done that before. One of

0:15:54.040 --> 0:15:59.520
<v Speaker 1>the only times that but I did. We gave up

0:15:59.520 --> 0:16:00.680
<v Speaker 1>first class because you.

0:16:00.720 --> 0:16:03.480
<v Speaker 2>Want to say yeah, but like that's the thing I

0:16:03.480 --> 0:16:06.720
<v Speaker 2>I When somebody needs my seat and I'm like I

0:16:06.800 --> 0:16:09.200
<v Speaker 2>can give it, I feel so great. I'll be walking

0:16:09.240 --> 0:16:11.280
<v Speaker 2>on the plane like people are looking at me like

0:16:11.280 --> 0:16:12.040
<v Speaker 2>I'm a nice guy.

0:16:12.200 --> 0:16:16.320
<v Speaker 1>You an I don't. Unfortunately, when it comes to my kids,

0:16:16.320 --> 0:16:20.320
<v Speaker 1>I definitely can't seem to stay calm, even when I'm

0:16:20.360 --> 0:16:21.760
<v Speaker 1>an ex emergency officer.

0:16:22.400 --> 0:16:26.400
<v Speaker 2>I know why. Why Because kids don't fucking listen.

0:16:27.200 --> 0:16:33.560
<v Speaker 1>Oh that is. I want to do a bonus where

0:16:33.560 --> 0:16:37.240
<v Speaker 1>there's like different parenting techniques. I want to have someone

0:16:37.320 --> 0:16:40.720
<v Speaker 1>come on to talk about like each set of skills

0:16:40.760 --> 0:16:42.800
<v Speaker 1>that are you know, put into a box that maybe

0:16:42.840 --> 0:16:43.800
<v Speaker 1>your child requires.

0:16:43.880 --> 0:16:47.840
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, like uh, five sets of skills, and like you

0:16:47.880 --> 0:16:50.560
<v Speaker 2>try each one with your child to see what if they.

0:16:50.440 --> 0:16:54.320
<v Speaker 1>Respond to that. Yes, science says your voice a mama's

0:16:54.400 --> 0:16:57.160
<v Speaker 1>voice can be child's calm. I'm thirty three and it's

0:16:57.200 --> 0:16:58.080
<v Speaker 1>still true for me.

0:16:59.360 --> 0:17:03.040
<v Speaker 2>How crazy that I know? I do too, and I

0:17:03.120 --> 0:17:06.879
<v Speaker 2>never pictured it, even like just the phone call of

0:17:07.000 --> 0:17:08.840
<v Speaker 2>like to mom when I was going through it, like

0:17:08.960 --> 0:17:12.880
<v Speaker 2>just her voice would reset me. But I never understood.

0:17:12.280 --> 0:17:16.639
<v Speaker 1>That that's your mama, not a mom, just an ADHD adult.

0:17:16.760 --> 0:17:19.719
<v Speaker 1>I personally get very angry and yell at everyone so

0:17:19.840 --> 0:17:22.879
<v Speaker 1>relatable same you and me both, and that's a set

0:17:23.040 --> 0:17:26.640
<v Speaker 1>of I want to say. I won't call them skills

0:17:26.800 --> 0:17:27.920
<v Speaker 1>because sometimes I feel.

0:17:27.680 --> 0:17:28.760
<v Speaker 2>Like it is well. I want to know if they're

0:17:28.800 --> 0:17:34.439
<v Speaker 2>medicated for their ADHD, because I am not medicated for

0:17:34.640 --> 0:17:38.040
<v Speaker 2>my ADHD. I have been. I like not being on

0:17:38.440 --> 0:17:43.199
<v Speaker 2>its personal decisions, but I like not being on like

0:17:43.320 --> 0:17:45.360
<v Speaker 2>adderall or vibeance. I don't like the way it makes

0:17:45.400 --> 0:17:49.440
<v Speaker 2>me feel. So I really am just freelancing ADHD out here,

0:17:49.560 --> 0:17:52.159
<v Speaker 2>and I get the same way. I don't know why.

0:17:52.240 --> 0:17:54.480
<v Speaker 2>There's just spurts of like, oh you fucking need to

0:17:54.520 --> 0:17:57.960
<v Speaker 2>yell at someone or something, and then like time goes

0:17:57.960 --> 0:18:02.159
<v Speaker 2>by and then I forget that. Wow, it's fun in

0:18:02.200 --> 0:18:03.800
<v Speaker 2>this brand, it's a circus.

0:18:04.240 --> 0:18:08.880
<v Speaker 1>I like people who yell it's great like this Larry David.

0:18:08.600 --> 0:18:11.320
<v Speaker 2>Kind of because I that's who I aspire to be.

0:18:11.800 --> 0:18:14.280
<v Speaker 1>Sadly, I rely on my husband. He was a firefighter

0:18:14.359 --> 0:18:17.399
<v Speaker 1>slash EMT and I pray he's around if an emergency happens.

0:18:17.720 --> 0:18:22.120
<v Speaker 2>Number one, thank you to your husband for what he does. Yes,

0:18:22.440 --> 0:18:25.760
<v Speaker 2>what he does, And I feel like that really would

0:18:25.760 --> 0:18:27.480
<v Speaker 2>bring so much calmness.

0:18:28.640 --> 0:18:30.240
<v Speaker 1>Also, I bet he's way hot.

0:18:30.480 --> 0:18:32.640
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, just like you look at that no matter what's

0:18:32.680 --> 0:18:34.439
<v Speaker 2>going on, you look at a man who is just

0:18:34.920 --> 0:18:37.680
<v Speaker 2>face to face with a fire and you're like, it

0:18:37.800 --> 0:18:39.639
<v Speaker 2>can't all right, it can't be that.

0:18:39.840 --> 0:18:43.399
<v Speaker 1>First of all, thank you for what you do. She's

0:18:43.440 --> 0:18:46.480
<v Speaker 1>looking at him. And when you get back, I really

0:18:46.520 --> 0:18:47.399
<v Speaker 1>would love to fuck you.

0:18:48.000 --> 0:18:51.760
<v Speaker 2>Climb you like a tree. Climb you like the tree

0:18:51.840 --> 0:18:52.400
<v Speaker 2>you put out.

0:18:52.600 --> 0:18:55.399
<v Speaker 1>Take a deep breath and hold back my reaction because

0:18:55.400 --> 0:18:59.000
<v Speaker 1>I know the second I show fear it's over, you're

0:18:59.080 --> 0:19:02.840
<v Speaker 1>on the whole household in arms badly. When my grandpa fell,

0:19:03.040 --> 0:19:05.800
<v Speaker 1>I broke his wrist, my husband had to yell yell

0:19:05.840 --> 0:19:07.840
<v Speaker 1>at me more than once to call nine one one.

0:19:07.920 --> 0:19:10.120
<v Speaker 1>That's Lisa, where I was like, call nine one one,

0:19:10.800 --> 0:19:15.560
<v Speaker 1>call nine one one, just sitting there. I'm as a

0:19:15.560 --> 0:19:18.159
<v Speaker 1>wife of a first responder, whenever my husband is in

0:19:18.200 --> 0:19:21.240
<v Speaker 1>a fire or call, I pray first and focus on

0:19:21.280 --> 0:19:24.720
<v Speaker 1>our son. A men to that, and thank you for

0:19:24.800 --> 0:19:27.960
<v Speaker 1>what your husband does. Yes, I go extremely calm. My

0:19:28.080 --> 0:19:30.879
<v Speaker 1>son got a toy hook in his eye, and inside

0:19:31.240 --> 0:19:33.760
<v Speaker 1>I was panicking, but I had to be calm, and

0:19:33.840 --> 0:19:35.720
<v Speaker 1>I just picked him up and looked at my friend

0:19:35.760 --> 0:19:37.560
<v Speaker 1>and said, I'll call.

0:19:37.600 --> 0:19:39.960
<v Speaker 2>Like an actual like fish hook or like just like

0:19:40.000 --> 0:19:41.080
<v Speaker 2>a little play plast.

0:19:40.880 --> 0:19:43.040
<v Speaker 1>Looked at my friend and said I'll call you, and

0:19:43.160 --> 0:19:46.679
<v Speaker 1>drove straight to the hospital. I've had situations where I've

0:19:46.720 --> 0:19:48.199
<v Speaker 1>had to put Ocean in the car due to like

0:19:48.240 --> 0:19:51.560
<v Speaker 1>a sickness, and it's the most terrifying thing to put

0:19:51.680 --> 0:19:54.320
<v Speaker 1>a hurt or sick child into the back of the

0:19:54.400 --> 0:19:56.800
<v Speaker 1>car where you have no eyes on them except for

0:19:56.840 --> 0:19:59.760
<v Speaker 1>maybe like a little mirror, and then you think about

0:19:59.760 --> 0:20:02.119
<v Speaker 1>them strapped in there and if you need to get

0:20:02.160 --> 0:20:04.960
<v Speaker 1>them out quickly, it's just a montage of shit.

0:20:04.720 --> 0:20:07.600
<v Speaker 2>That, like you just said, not being able to see him,

0:20:07.640 --> 0:20:09.239
<v Speaker 2>and like he's got a hook in his eye and

0:20:09.280 --> 0:20:11.520
<v Speaker 2>you don't want him to touch his own eye, so

0:20:11.680 --> 0:20:15.600
<v Speaker 2>you're that's shout out to the mama.

0:20:16.080 --> 0:20:18.119
<v Speaker 1>I work at a hospital, so I see this stuff,

0:20:18.119 --> 0:20:20.399
<v Speaker 1>but when it's my kid, Nope, I lose it. I

0:20:20.400 --> 0:20:24.120
<v Speaker 1>think that that's totally relatable. Usually cry and then take

0:20:24.160 --> 0:20:26.240
<v Speaker 1>them for a treat. And play their favorite songs.

0:20:27.800 --> 0:20:29.000
<v Speaker 2>Taking that in our arsenal.

0:20:29.119 --> 0:20:32.119
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, they get like really upset about something, would you

0:20:32.280 --> 0:20:36.480
<v Speaker 1>like a cooking and some Taylor Swift shake it off.

0:20:37.400 --> 0:20:38.919
<v Speaker 1>That's a way to get them right out of their

0:20:38.920 --> 0:20:42.320
<v Speaker 1>own feelings. My girls are nineteen and seventeen, and I

0:20:42.359 --> 0:20:45.359
<v Speaker 1>still act a fool. Yeah, probably because at that age

0:20:45.359 --> 0:20:47.280
<v Speaker 1>they're now like stealing the car and shit.

0:20:47.920 --> 0:20:48.920
<v Speaker 2>Mom still acts a fool.

0:20:49.240 --> 0:20:51.679
<v Speaker 1>Mom does act a fool. We're gonna end it with

0:20:51.800 --> 0:20:57.720
<v Speaker 1>this mama who says two hundred milligrams of zoloft, because

0:20:57.720 --> 0:21:01.240
<v Speaker 1>I find that to be very very funny in any situation,

0:21:01.400 --> 0:21:04.440
<v Speaker 1>depending on what it is. I think that it is

0:21:05.080 --> 0:21:09.000
<v Speaker 1>something in you that you're either born with or you

0:21:09.080 --> 0:21:11.560
<v Speaker 1>work really hard because there is nothing you can do

0:21:11.720 --> 0:21:13.480
<v Speaker 1>in an emergency situation.

0:21:13.680 --> 0:21:16.000
<v Speaker 2>You're either born with it or you've dealt with so

0:21:16.119 --> 0:21:19.480
<v Speaker 2>much emergency you're now equipped for it.

0:21:20.000 --> 0:21:22.560
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, because even though your brain is like I need

0:21:22.600 --> 0:21:24.600
<v Speaker 1>to move my hand to dial this, but I can't

0:21:24.640 --> 0:21:27.600
<v Speaker 1>remember the number to nine one one, I get it.

0:21:27.920 --> 0:21:31.440
