WEBVTT - A perfect Father's Day: Motorcycle mornings, Dragons, and Drinks

0:00:03.880 --> 0:00:06.840
<v Speaker 1>The folks. In this episode, Robes and I adopt a

0:00:07.000 --> 0:00:11.760
<v Speaker 1>new morning routine. Too bad it involves her sleeping alone

0:00:11.800 --> 0:00:14.840
<v Speaker 1>for the last two hours of the morning. Also, are

0:00:14.880 --> 0:00:18.400
<v Speaker 1>we the only ones out there who've been binging season

0:00:18.520 --> 0:00:21.560
<v Speaker 1>one of House of the Dragon like crazy people in

0:00:21.560 --> 0:00:24.400
<v Speaker 1>the past few days? And what did you get your

0:00:24.520 --> 0:00:30.000
<v Speaker 1>dad for Father's Day? Survey says it was probably alcohol.

0:00:30.440 --> 0:00:33.960
<v Speaker 1>Plus minutes ago, Robes and I both got off the

0:00:34.000 --> 0:00:36.760
<v Speaker 1>phone with our dads and we asked them the advice

0:00:37.200 --> 0:00:40.320
<v Speaker 1>they'd want us to pass along to you all and

0:00:40.440 --> 0:00:43.640
<v Speaker 1>all dads in this episode. And with that, Welcome to

0:00:43.680 --> 0:00:47.760
<v Speaker 1>this episode of Amy and TJ. Robes sitting across a

0:00:47.800 --> 0:00:50.000
<v Speaker 1>table from me this time and not in studio. We

0:00:50.040 --> 0:00:55.120
<v Speaker 1>were recording on Father's Day at our dining room table.

0:00:55.200 --> 0:00:56.720
<v Speaker 1>So a little different today.

0:00:56.680 --> 0:00:59.480
<v Speaker 2>That's right, And Happy Father's Day, TJ Ah, thank you

0:00:59.520 --> 0:00:59.760
<v Speaker 2>for that.

0:01:00.080 --> 0:01:02.160
<v Speaker 1>Weird I say it's a weird day because it's just

0:01:02.520 --> 0:01:05.960
<v Speaker 1>I don't feel like there's anything else extra that needs

0:01:06.000 --> 0:01:06.560
<v Speaker 1>to be done.

0:01:06.640 --> 0:01:09.560
<v Speaker 3>Well, no, I think that's very humble and sweet of you,

0:01:09.640 --> 0:01:12.520
<v Speaker 3>But it always does feel like that when you're you

0:01:12.520 --> 0:01:15.880
<v Speaker 3>don't want to set expectations, but you're also appreciative of anything,

0:01:16.080 --> 0:01:18.520
<v Speaker 3>or really just I don't know. Do you what do

0:01:18.560 --> 0:01:20.600
<v Speaker 3>you think of Father's Day? Do you think it's warranted?

0:01:20.600 --> 0:01:21.520
<v Speaker 3>Do you think it's needed?

0:01:22.240 --> 0:01:25.319
<v Speaker 1>I don't, I don't know. I'm not a It is weird.

0:01:25.319 --> 0:01:27.600
<v Speaker 1>We're going to get into it at the to close

0:01:27.640 --> 0:01:29.360
<v Speaker 1>it out when we talk about advice from our dads.

0:01:30.440 --> 0:01:34.640
<v Speaker 1>But it feels so different from Mother's Day. Like Father's Day,

0:01:36.360 --> 0:01:41.600
<v Speaker 1>they both feel like duties. But you feel like if

0:01:41.600 --> 0:01:44.400
<v Speaker 1>you don't fulfill your duty on Father's Day, he's not

0:01:44.440 --> 0:01:45.000
<v Speaker 1>gonna mind.

0:01:46.400 --> 0:01:49.880
<v Speaker 2>Right, there's a higher expectation set around moms. You gotta

0:01:49.920 --> 0:01:52.040
<v Speaker 2>you gotta take care of mom. There's no question, there's

0:01:52.040 --> 0:01:52.560
<v Speaker 2>no question.

0:01:52.800 --> 0:01:55.520
<v Speaker 3>And honestly, the sad thing is, or I don't know,

0:01:55.600 --> 0:01:58.280
<v Speaker 3>just the reality of it is. The financials back that

0:01:58.520 --> 0:02:01.600
<v Speaker 3>up because we were looking. It's very apparent and not

0:02:01.680 --> 0:02:06.160
<v Speaker 3>even up for debate. Americans spend billions of dollars more

0:02:06.240 --> 0:02:09.800
<v Speaker 3>on their moms than they do on their dads every year,

0:02:10.000 --> 0:02:13.560
<v Speaker 3>and we're spending more and more each year, but the

0:02:13.720 --> 0:02:18.000
<v Speaker 3>ratio remains the same. Moms just get about almost one

0:02:18.080 --> 0:02:21.280
<v Speaker 3>hundred dollars more in gifts or whatever per person when

0:02:21.320 --> 0:02:25.120
<v Speaker 3>you're whatever you're allotting towards these days, moms get the

0:02:25.160 --> 0:02:27.280
<v Speaker 3>lion's share for sure, without question.

0:02:27.880 --> 0:02:29.400
<v Speaker 1>I don't know, what'd you get your dad for a

0:02:29.440 --> 0:02:29.960
<v Speaker 1>father's name?

0:02:30.120 --> 0:02:35.160
<v Speaker 3>Well, this was pretty funny, so I know the full proof. No,

0:02:35.760 --> 0:02:38.120
<v Speaker 3>like it's always going to land as if I get

0:02:38.120 --> 0:02:42.480
<v Speaker 3>my dad alcohol. So he loves wine, he loves fine wine,

0:02:42.520 --> 0:02:43.200
<v Speaker 3>he loves champagne.

0:02:43.200 --> 0:02:44.400
<v Speaker 2>So this year I got champagne.

0:02:44.440 --> 0:02:47.120
<v Speaker 3>I got a rose, and I got a brute, and

0:02:47.160 --> 0:02:50.240
<v Speaker 3>I got a really pretty champagne bucket to go along

0:02:50.240 --> 0:02:52.720
<v Speaker 3>with it. And sure enough, I already got a picture

0:02:53.840 --> 0:02:54.560
<v Speaker 3>saying thank you.

0:02:54.919 --> 0:02:56.320
<v Speaker 2>But then I looked.

0:02:56.080 --> 0:03:00.680
<v Speaker 3>Online and apparently we are twice as like to send

0:03:00.760 --> 0:03:03.200
<v Speaker 3>our father's alcohol as we are our mother. So that

0:03:03.360 --> 0:03:06.400
<v Speaker 3>is one of the big gifts, apparently that we give

0:03:06.440 --> 0:03:09.480
<v Speaker 3>our dads because we know it'll get used and it

0:03:09.520 --> 0:03:10.280
<v Speaker 3>will be enjoyed.

0:03:10.639 --> 0:03:13.200
<v Speaker 1>For the most part, it's easy, you know, right, Just

0:03:13.280 --> 0:03:16.560
<v Speaker 1>guys don't get the same don't get the same attention.

0:03:16.600 --> 0:03:21.040
<v Speaker 1>That's okay, Yeah, I think that's completely warranted. But just

0:03:21.120 --> 0:03:23.040
<v Speaker 1>wait as fall as they comes along, and what do

0:03:23.120 --> 0:03:24.560
<v Speaker 1>you want to do? And you guys do that. No,

0:03:25.120 --> 0:03:27.640
<v Speaker 1>I'm doing the same thing we always do I'm hanging

0:03:27.639 --> 0:03:31.440
<v Speaker 1>with my girls on Sunday, but I always do. I'm

0:03:31.440 --> 0:03:34.400
<v Speaker 1>always with you. Me and Sabine run around somewhere, were

0:03:34.400 --> 0:03:37.960
<v Speaker 1>going to lunch outside. It's the same. The day is

0:03:38.120 --> 0:03:41.520
<v Speaker 1>not different in the least bit. It doesn't feel different.

0:03:41.560 --> 0:03:43.200
<v Speaker 1>And maybe that is a good sign.

0:03:43.240 --> 0:03:46.200
<v Speaker 3>So well, oh, I know, but you should feel special though,

0:03:46.360 --> 0:03:49.840
<v Speaker 3>I think, Yeah, it's nice to feel the love.

0:03:49.920 --> 0:03:50.720
<v Speaker 2>Sabine's coming over.

0:03:50.800 --> 0:03:52.760
<v Speaker 1>She's on her way to make me feel special tomorrow.

0:03:53.240 --> 0:03:55.520
<v Speaker 2>I want to make you feel special every day.

0:03:54.600 --> 0:03:57.560
<v Speaker 1>Okay, then today's not a biggie. I don't. I don't

0:03:57.640 --> 0:04:00.840
<v Speaker 1>feel if somebody nobody said to me, be Father's Day

0:04:00.880 --> 0:04:01.840
<v Speaker 1>and it didn't acknowledge.

0:04:02.720 --> 0:04:05.040
<v Speaker 2>Really, I don't even know if I would notice. Oh,

0:04:05.040 --> 0:04:05.800
<v Speaker 2>it would bother me.

0:04:05.920 --> 0:04:09.880
<v Speaker 3>It would bother me if no one said happy mothers.

0:04:09.280 --> 0:04:10.320
<v Speaker 1>Would it only bother you?

0:04:10.320 --> 0:04:13.000
<v Speaker 2>If the girl, oh yeah, I don't need anyone else

0:04:13.040 --> 0:04:13.360
<v Speaker 2>to say it.

0:04:13.440 --> 0:04:15.320
<v Speaker 3>Yes, but I would hope that at the very least

0:04:15.320 --> 0:04:17.240
<v Speaker 3>you'd get a hey, happy Mother's Day.

0:04:17.279 --> 0:04:19.320
<v Speaker 2>I appreciate you, thank you for all that you do for.

0:04:19.320 --> 0:04:21.440
<v Speaker 1>Me morning and yeah, so me and actually she was.

0:04:21.640 --> 0:04:24.560
<v Speaker 1>She sent a text after midnight like why are you

0:04:24.640 --> 0:04:27.120
<v Speaker 1>why are you in your room texting. She wanted to

0:04:27.160 --> 0:04:28.200
<v Speaker 1>make sure she was.

0:04:30.800 --> 0:04:33.160
<v Speaker 2>That's really sweet.

0:04:33.200 --> 0:04:36.160
<v Speaker 3>Can I laugh though, because remember on Mother's Day I

0:04:36.160 --> 0:04:38.880
<v Speaker 3>got annoyed that you were saying whatever you want, it's

0:04:38.920 --> 0:04:40.080
<v Speaker 3>what do you want to do? And I was like,

0:04:41.120 --> 0:04:42.560
<v Speaker 3>I don't. I don't want to make it up. I

0:04:42.560 --> 0:04:44.280
<v Speaker 3>don't want to have to I don't want the pressure

0:04:44.320 --> 0:04:46.719
<v Speaker 3>of that. So today I was just joking a couple

0:04:46.800 --> 0:04:48.280
<v Speaker 3>of times. Today's your day.

0:04:48.520 --> 0:04:50.280
<v Speaker 2>I said that. I texted that scene, and what did

0:04:50.320 --> 0:04:51.320
<v Speaker 2>you expect to me?

0:04:52.200 --> 0:04:52.560
<v Speaker 1>Look it up?

0:04:53.160 --> 0:04:56.160
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, you had a very strong response to me, saying,

0:04:57.640 --> 0:05:00.720
<v Speaker 3>I said, today is your day, whatever you want to do.

0:05:01.160 --> 0:05:03.359
<v Speaker 3>And I believe you said if you say that to

0:05:03.440 --> 0:05:06.080
<v Speaker 3>me one more explitive time.

0:05:06.880 --> 0:05:09.360
<v Speaker 1>Oh, I'm are.

0:05:08.560 --> 0:05:09.200
<v Speaker 2>You looking it up?

0:05:09.400 --> 0:05:11.920
<v Speaker 3>Maybe let's yeah, let's get the actual verbatim of what

0:05:11.960 --> 0:05:13.000
<v Speaker 3>you sent back to me.

0:05:13.240 --> 0:05:15.640
<v Speaker 1>It's your day, you can do what. Okay, I'm just reading.

0:05:15.640 --> 0:05:18.560
<v Speaker 1>I'm just going to read this filter. Okay, you said

0:05:18.560 --> 0:05:20.000
<v Speaker 1>to me it's your day, you can do whatever you

0:05:20.040 --> 0:05:24.920
<v Speaker 1>want walking out from my place at eleven something. Okay,

0:05:24.920 --> 0:05:27.560
<v Speaker 1>that was actually something else, So okay, there it is.

0:05:28.160 --> 0:05:30.159
<v Speaker 1>You said, it's your day, you can do whatever you want.

0:05:30.320 --> 0:05:33.600
<v Speaker 1>My response was say, that shit one more time and

0:05:33.640 --> 0:05:36.440
<v Speaker 1>you'll be sorry.

0:05:35.920 --> 0:05:40.080
<v Speaker 3>Okay, little insight, you can do. Yes, we have a

0:05:40.200 --> 0:05:41.520
<v Speaker 3>very playful relationship.

0:05:41.680 --> 0:05:45.040
<v Speaker 1>But you know, the funny thing is that text exchange

0:05:45.400 --> 0:05:48.960
<v Speaker 1>was at six twenty a film.

0:05:48.800 --> 0:05:51.320
<v Speaker 2>And how long have you already been up? I was gone,

0:05:51.520 --> 0:05:53.440
<v Speaker 2>you were gone two hours. We spent the night.

0:05:53.480 --> 0:05:55.960
<v Speaker 3>We spend pretty much every night together. It's a rare

0:05:56.000 --> 0:05:59.800
<v Speaker 3>thing if we don't. But yes, you're already out of

0:05:59.839 --> 0:06:03.440
<v Speaker 3>the apartment and doing your thing where we have to

0:06:03.520 --> 0:06:05.560
<v Speaker 3>text each other back and forth at six twenty in

0:06:05.560 --> 0:06:05.960
<v Speaker 3>the morning.

0:06:06.320 --> 0:06:07.840
<v Speaker 2>Welcome to my life.

0:06:08.160 --> 0:06:11.239
<v Speaker 1>Okay, this this has changed a little bit. I mentioned

0:06:11.240 --> 0:06:13.719
<v Speaker 1>our morning routine, but it's only changed because of the weather.

0:06:14.200 --> 0:06:18.760
<v Speaker 1>And it's changed because the weather is just glorious in

0:06:18.800 --> 0:06:23.160
<v Speaker 1>New York right now in mornings and nights are absolutely stunning.

0:06:23.160 --> 0:06:29.360
<v Speaker 1>We're talking mid sixties or even warmer at low six

0:06:29.480 --> 0:06:32.200
<v Speaker 1>in the morning and then at seven, eight, nine o'clock

0:06:32.200 --> 0:06:34.839
<v Speaker 1>at night. And for me that's a big deal because

0:06:35.120 --> 0:06:37.680
<v Speaker 1>I ride my bike through the well.

0:06:37.800 --> 0:06:40.760
<v Speaker 3>You say a bike, motorcycle, not a city bike. You

0:06:40.839 --> 0:06:42.800
<v Speaker 3>won't be caught dead on a city bike. Let's just

0:06:42.839 --> 0:06:46.360
<v Speaker 3>make that really clear. You want a bike actually sounds funny.

0:06:46.520 --> 0:06:48.479
<v Speaker 1>Blue isn't my color. That's why I don't ride city

0:06:48.480 --> 0:06:52.159
<v Speaker 1>bikes anyway. Right, But now that this is the case,

0:06:52.360 --> 0:06:55.960
<v Speaker 1>I like to get up and ride, take a ride

0:06:55.960 --> 0:06:57.880
<v Speaker 1>on the motorcycle in the morning or at night. And

0:06:57.960 --> 0:07:01.799
<v Speaker 1>morning is great because you get the city to yourself. Anybody,

0:07:01.839 --> 0:07:04.440
<v Speaker 1>if you live here, if I say to you you're

0:07:04.440 --> 0:07:08.000
<v Speaker 1>going to go from the Financial District to Central Park,

0:07:08.480 --> 0:07:10.440
<v Speaker 1>you start thinking, Okay, which train don't need to take?

0:07:10.680 --> 0:07:12.520
<v Speaker 1>Take the cars going to take me forty five minutes?

0:07:12.560 --> 0:07:15.440
<v Speaker 1>It really does. In the morning when there's no traffic

0:07:15.480 --> 0:07:17.720
<v Speaker 1>out when I'm out riding, it takes me twelve to

0:07:17.800 --> 0:07:20.960
<v Speaker 1>fifteen minutes to get from Lower Manhattan to Central Park,

0:07:21.520 --> 0:07:23.640
<v Speaker 1>straight shot, no traffic. And I love it.

0:07:23.760 --> 0:07:25.400
<v Speaker 2>That's remarkable. I know, I love it.

0:07:25.440 --> 0:07:27.680
<v Speaker 3>And now you're having so much fun coming back down

0:07:27.920 --> 0:07:32.320
<v Speaker 3>through Times Square. So now you're riding the motorcycle times

0:07:32.320 --> 0:07:35.160
<v Speaker 3>Square and you've got the whole place to yourself.

0:07:35.560 --> 0:07:37.640
<v Speaker 1>So if anybody yet, if you're in Times Square at

0:07:37.760 --> 0:07:41.800
<v Speaker 1>you know, six ish, and you see a streak going

0:07:41.840 --> 0:07:46.480
<v Speaker 1>through a white bike, leather jacket, white black helmet, that's me.

0:07:46.920 --> 0:07:50.560
<v Speaker 2>And you said you got every green light. That's so again,

0:07:50.640 --> 0:07:51.880
<v Speaker 2>something that's remarkable.

0:07:52.000 --> 0:07:56.440
<v Speaker 1>I went from Times Square to Lower Manhattan without missing

0:07:56.480 --> 0:07:56.800
<v Speaker 1>a light.

0:07:57.240 --> 0:07:58.120
<v Speaker 2>That never happens.

0:07:58.160 --> 0:08:00.520
<v Speaker 1>It just doesn't happen. So anyway, that's our new morning.

0:08:00.560 --> 0:08:02.400
<v Speaker 1>But I've come been coming back to your place and

0:08:02.440 --> 0:08:05.560
<v Speaker 1>I message you and say, hey, can you make me tea?

0:08:06.000 --> 0:08:07.880
<v Speaker 1>And the first couple of times I did that, You're like,

0:08:07.880 --> 0:08:08.920
<v Speaker 1>what the hell is going on?

0:08:09.360 --> 0:08:12.600
<v Speaker 2>There's me tea? I was like, what right? And now

0:08:12.680 --> 0:08:12.960
<v Speaker 2>I know.

0:08:13.720 --> 0:08:16.720
<v Speaker 3>I jumped up, got your tea, my coffee. We sit

0:08:16.760 --> 0:08:19.040
<v Speaker 3>out on my balcony and you've got your motorcycle gear.

0:08:19.080 --> 0:08:20.800
<v Speaker 3>But yeah, it's kind of like a part two to

0:08:20.880 --> 0:08:23.400
<v Speaker 3>the morning because you leave. I mean you leave as

0:08:23.600 --> 0:08:27.280
<v Speaker 3>early as five fifteen sometimes and you're up since four

0:08:27.480 --> 0:08:29.640
<v Speaker 3>waiting for me to wake up, which does not happen.

0:08:30.480 --> 0:08:34.360
<v Speaker 3>But I've enjoyed it too, because while you're off experiencing

0:08:34.440 --> 0:08:36.480
<v Speaker 3>the city on your own, I get an extra hour

0:08:36.520 --> 0:08:41.439
<v Speaker 3>of sleep, and I'm grateful for that because no, I mean,

0:08:41.480 --> 0:08:43.520
<v Speaker 3>like I think I'm a six thirty seven am kind

0:08:43.520 --> 0:08:45.800
<v Speaker 3>of gal, You're just a four am kind of guy.

0:08:45.920 --> 0:08:49.200
<v Speaker 3>So yeah, that's a great way to spend the time

0:08:49.240 --> 0:08:51.280
<v Speaker 3>where I would be sleeping and you'd be anxious, like

0:08:51.320 --> 0:08:52.240
<v Speaker 3>when is you waking up?

0:08:52.400 --> 0:08:53.520
<v Speaker 2>Now you get to ride your bikes.

0:08:53.559 --> 0:08:55.319
<v Speaker 1>It's fun. And then I get it's stun I can

0:08:55.400 --> 0:08:57.840
<v Speaker 1>see you. But the funniest one was the morning I

0:08:58.000 --> 0:09:00.360
<v Speaker 1>messaged and said, can you make me tea? And I

0:09:00.360 --> 0:09:03.320
<v Speaker 1>think you wanted to have it. You were trying to

0:09:03.320 --> 0:09:06.880
<v Speaker 1>fool me, maybe into thinking you were already up moving around,

0:09:06.960 --> 0:09:09.080
<v Speaker 1>and you weren't. So I have a key, I will

0:09:09.080 --> 0:09:12.480
<v Speaker 1>come into the place. You apparently had just seen the message. Yes,

0:09:12.520 --> 0:09:16.480
<v Speaker 1>and I'm not kidding. I walk in. You don't know

0:09:16.520 --> 0:09:18.360
<v Speaker 1>I'm in the play. I walk in. I'm coming to

0:09:18.480 --> 0:09:20.160
<v Speaker 1>the back. You had seen the message. I didn't know.

0:09:20.240 --> 0:09:23.920
<v Speaker 1>But I walk in and you are doing You are

0:09:24.040 --> 0:09:26.880
<v Speaker 1>jumping up and down, trying to get tights on.

0:09:27.080 --> 0:09:30.040
<v Speaker 2>Oh yeah, my leggings, my run. I think we were

0:09:30.040 --> 0:09:31.720
<v Speaker 2>going to go running later, so I trying to get

0:09:31.720 --> 0:09:32.400
<v Speaker 2>my run. You're on.

0:09:32.480 --> 0:09:35.280
<v Speaker 1>You were trying to get dressed to get the teenage.

0:09:35.559 --> 0:09:38.760
<v Speaker 1>So I come in. I just see naked white cheeks

0:09:38.840 --> 0:09:40.440
<v Speaker 1>jumping you.

0:09:40.440 --> 0:09:43.000
<v Speaker 3>You gave me no lead time to get the tea ready,

0:09:43.040 --> 0:09:44.600
<v Speaker 3>I was like. And then there was the other morning,

0:09:44.800 --> 0:09:46.640
<v Speaker 3>plenty of time. There was the other morning where I

0:09:46.679 --> 0:09:48.800
<v Speaker 3>didn't get the text because I was sleeping and you were.

0:09:48.960 --> 0:09:52.320
<v Speaker 2>You stood over the bed, and funny enough, I didn't

0:09:52.320 --> 0:09:54.600
<v Speaker 2>even freak out. I was like, oh hey, but you

0:09:54.600 --> 0:09:56.199
<v Speaker 2>would think someone would scream, but nope.

0:10:05.040 --> 0:10:06.920
<v Speaker 1>I'm enjoying our new morning routine.

0:10:07.000 --> 0:10:07.560
<v Speaker 2>It's been great.

0:10:07.600 --> 0:10:09.960
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, our afternoon routine and kind of we haven't gotten

0:10:10.000 --> 0:10:12.600
<v Speaker 1>this yet, but we can't be the only ones. Isn't

0:10:12.600 --> 0:10:14.760
<v Speaker 1>everybody doing this? If you loved House of the Dragon

0:10:14.880 --> 0:10:17.400
<v Speaker 1>or HBO the first season, which is now seems like

0:10:17.440 --> 0:10:18.520
<v Speaker 1>it was what twenty eight, it.

0:10:18.440 --> 0:10:20.600
<v Speaker 2>Was two years ago, two years ago.

0:10:20.520 --> 0:10:23.920
<v Speaker 1>So the new season's coming dropping on Father's Day and

0:10:23.960 --> 0:10:25.200
<v Speaker 1>we are trying to get caught up.

0:10:26.120 --> 0:10:28.880
<v Speaker 3>Yes, and it's very you know, it's complicated. It's like

0:10:29.000 --> 0:10:31.280
<v Speaker 3>Game of Thrones, and that's part of what I think

0:10:31.280 --> 0:10:32.800
<v Speaker 3>the love of it is that if you're in it,

0:10:32.840 --> 0:10:33.440
<v Speaker 3>you're in it.

0:10:33.520 --> 0:10:34.560
<v Speaker 2>You know all the details.

0:10:34.600 --> 0:10:36.600
<v Speaker 3>You know that, you know all of the different houses

0:10:36.600 --> 0:10:38.920
<v Speaker 3>and the fighting factions, but then you forget because it

0:10:38.960 --> 0:10:41.520
<v Speaker 3>is so complicated. So we're trying to refresh our memory

0:10:42.000 --> 0:10:44.160
<v Speaker 3>leading up to because you know what, there aren't many

0:10:44.200 --> 0:10:48.000
<v Speaker 3>things where you actually get excited about watching something live.

0:10:48.400 --> 0:10:50.240
<v Speaker 3>Game of Thrones was like that for me. House the

0:10:50.280 --> 0:10:52.480
<v Speaker 3>Dragon was like that for us because we did watch

0:10:52.480 --> 0:10:54.560
<v Speaker 3>it two years ago. I think it was our first

0:10:54.600 --> 0:10:58.440
<v Speaker 3>show we watched together, right, were we watching it? Like

0:10:58.480 --> 0:11:00.640
<v Speaker 3>we had moments where we got to watch show together.

0:11:00.760 --> 0:11:04.520
<v Speaker 1>Really might be the first show we watched together.

0:11:04.640 --> 0:11:06.920
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, so we were actually getting to watch that, and

0:11:06.960 --> 0:11:10.480
<v Speaker 3>now we get to see the second season, which is

0:11:10.520 --> 0:11:12.600
<v Speaker 3>super exciting. But yes, there is some catching up to do.

0:11:12.760 --> 0:11:15.520
<v Speaker 3>We're not there yet. It's nine o'clock tonight, Eastern time.

0:11:15.679 --> 0:11:19.880
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, but you know it's weird on this because I mean,

0:11:19.960 --> 0:11:23.880
<v Speaker 1>anybody's familiar with the game with their ownes world, Like,

0:11:23.920 --> 0:11:30.480
<v Speaker 1>there's some pretty harsh, violent and I mean even dark

0:11:30.559 --> 0:11:34.840
<v Speaker 1>themes and if you're trying to binge that. I said yesterday,

0:11:35.200 --> 0:11:36.760
<v Speaker 1>we need a break, right, you know we were.

0:11:36.800 --> 0:11:38.120
<v Speaker 3>I was like ready for the second, you know, we

0:11:38.160 --> 0:11:40.280
<v Speaker 3>started watching and he was like, it's really it's a

0:11:40.360 --> 0:11:44.040
<v Speaker 3>beautiful day outside. It's like eighty one degrees and sunny.

0:11:44.400 --> 0:11:47.120
<v Speaker 3>This feels really heavy and dark, and you weren't wrong.

0:11:47.360 --> 0:11:49.319
<v Speaker 3>I mean, you know, it is one of those things

0:11:49.320 --> 0:11:51.640
<v Speaker 3>where it might be more fun to watch on a

0:11:51.720 --> 0:11:55.440
<v Speaker 3>winter's night or you know, a stormy evening on an

0:11:55.480 --> 0:11:58.800
<v Speaker 3>eighty one sunny glorious day in Manhattan. It feels wrong

0:11:58.920 --> 0:12:02.040
<v Speaker 3>to be watching How the Dragon but trying really hard

0:12:02.080 --> 0:12:03.120
<v Speaker 3>to catch up for tonight.

0:12:03.280 --> 0:12:05.960
<v Speaker 1>We'll get there, we will. But this is again we're

0:12:05.960 --> 0:12:11.480
<v Speaker 1>recording on on Father's Day here and we, like I said,

0:12:11.480 --> 0:12:12.960
<v Speaker 1>we just got off the phone with our dads. But

0:12:13.559 --> 0:12:16.200
<v Speaker 1>it's I did. I'll ask you what you guys your

0:12:16.240 --> 0:12:18.240
<v Speaker 1>dad for Father's Day. I didn't get my dad anything.

0:12:18.679 --> 0:12:20.640
<v Speaker 1>I couldn't tell you the last year that I did.

0:12:21.160 --> 0:12:24.080
<v Speaker 1>But I make sure mama gets flowers. Right? Why are

0:12:24.120 --> 0:12:26.880
<v Speaker 1>we do that right? Why do we feel that kind

0:12:26.920 --> 0:12:31.520
<v Speaker 1>of that difference between that affection or that there's just

0:12:31.559 --> 0:12:34.440
<v Speaker 1>something sweeter about the relationship almost with the with the

0:12:34.600 --> 0:12:37.600
<v Speaker 1>mom that boys and girls feel like you need to shower.

0:12:37.880 --> 0:12:38.680
<v Speaker 2>It was interesting.

0:12:38.760 --> 0:12:40.840
<v Speaker 3>You looked up just to be like, it was just

0:12:40.880 --> 0:12:44.160
<v Speaker 3>a fascinating thing to see what reservations we could get

0:12:44.200 --> 0:12:47.640
<v Speaker 3>for brunch for Father's Day. And apparently we can go

0:12:47.840 --> 0:12:51.360
<v Speaker 3>anywhere at any time because the reservations are wide open.

0:12:51.400 --> 0:12:54.320
<v Speaker 3>And we laughed, because anyone everyone knows Mother's Day.

0:12:54.600 --> 0:12:55.319
<v Speaker 2>Quite the opposite.

0:12:55.360 --> 0:12:58.120
<v Speaker 3>If you haven't planned ahead of time to get brunch

0:12:58.160 --> 0:13:00.880
<v Speaker 3>at your favorite spot, you will not be attending it.

0:13:00.960 --> 0:13:03.200
<v Speaker 3>Just isn't gonna happen, because that's the first thing everyone

0:13:03.240 --> 0:13:03.840
<v Speaker 3>goes and does.

0:13:04.280 --> 0:13:05.280
<v Speaker 2>But you made a good point.

0:13:05.320 --> 0:13:06.720
<v Speaker 3>I don't know if you read it or you thought

0:13:06.760 --> 0:13:10.720
<v Speaker 3>about it, but I think most families. Everyone's different, obviously,

0:13:10.760 --> 0:13:13.440
<v Speaker 3>but most families there is the role of the mother,

0:13:13.480 --> 0:13:16.160
<v Speaker 3>and the mother is the one who's cooking and cleaning

0:13:16.320 --> 0:13:19.520
<v Speaker 3>and doing a lot of the nurturing. So yes, to

0:13:19.559 --> 0:13:21.480
<v Speaker 3>take her out where she doesn't have to cook, she

0:13:21.520 --> 0:13:23.800
<v Speaker 3>doesn't have to clean. That makes a lot of sense,

0:13:23.840 --> 0:13:27.120
<v Speaker 3>whereas most people don't think of fathers in that way.

0:13:27.160 --> 0:13:32.680
<v Speaker 3>But you are an exception. You you cook ninety eight

0:13:32.800 --> 0:13:36.280
<v Speaker 3>percent of our meals, and I imagine that's been the case,

0:13:36.400 --> 0:13:37.600
<v Speaker 3>maybe ninety nine percent.

0:13:37.760 --> 0:13:43.160
<v Speaker 2>Okay, I cooked a meal on Friday night. I get say.

0:13:43.200 --> 0:13:44.720
<v Speaker 2>The thing is, you're look have been.

0:13:44.960 --> 0:13:47.920
<v Speaker 3>I have been cooking meals for my family for the

0:13:48.000 --> 0:13:51.960
<v Speaker 3>last two decades and they didn't have another choice. So

0:13:52.600 --> 0:13:54.440
<v Speaker 3>I always felt like I was a pretty decent cook.

0:13:54.480 --> 0:13:58.040
<v Speaker 3>But you're you're amazing, and so now I'm intimidated. I've

0:13:58.040 --> 0:13:59.840
<v Speaker 3>said this like, oh, yours is better than mine, But

0:14:00.320 --> 0:14:03.679
<v Speaker 3>every now and then I'll step up and it's okay,

0:14:03.840 --> 0:14:05.200
<v Speaker 3>it's good, it's good.

0:14:05.480 --> 0:14:09.120
<v Speaker 1>You're not. We talked about this enough, but I hope

0:14:09.160 --> 0:14:12.600
<v Speaker 1>nobody's getting the impression that you are a bad suggestion.

0:14:12.760 --> 0:14:15.400
<v Speaker 3>But you're just You're exceptional. Like your eggs. You learn

0:14:15.480 --> 0:14:19.280
<v Speaker 3>from Gordon Ramsay, so like I've never tasted better eggs.

0:14:19.280 --> 0:14:21.320
<v Speaker 3>Like we've yet to taste eggs better than the ones

0:14:21.360 --> 0:14:23.480
<v Speaker 3>you cook. And you learned from the best.

0:14:23.520 --> 0:14:26.400
<v Speaker 1>And we should say I didn't read his cookbook, I

0:14:26.400 --> 0:14:28.400
<v Speaker 1>didn't look up anything online. I was in his house

0:14:28.520 --> 0:14:31.640
<v Speaker 1>in La and he showed me how to make these eggs.

0:14:31.760 --> 0:14:33.680
<v Speaker 1>And it's been out there. People know his his egg

0:14:33.920 --> 0:14:35.800
<v Speaker 1>but I have done it for years and years now

0:14:35.840 --> 0:14:39.840
<v Speaker 1>to where I we won't say what restaurant, but it

0:14:39.920 --> 0:14:40.720
<v Speaker 1>was a restaurant that.

0:14:40.720 --> 0:14:42.960
<v Speaker 2>Had fabulous scrambled eggs.

0:14:43.080 --> 0:14:44.640
<v Speaker 1>I hope we don't give them away because that is

0:14:44.680 --> 0:14:49.160
<v Speaker 1>the exact name of the item on their menu. They

0:14:49.200 --> 0:14:52.640
<v Speaker 1>were not fabulous. That was tough.

0:14:52.720 --> 0:14:54.400
<v Speaker 3>And then you said, if we were to ever open

0:14:54.440 --> 0:14:57.400
<v Speaker 3>a restaurant, what you would name your scrambled egg dish

0:14:57.600 --> 0:14:58.640
<v Speaker 3>on our menu?

0:14:58.760 --> 0:15:02.880
<v Speaker 1>They would be called I learned these from Gordon Ramsey

0:15:03.320 --> 0:15:07.200
<v Speaker 1>Eggs to being honest about it, get it.

0:15:07.240 --> 0:15:09.960
<v Speaker 3>Credit needs to be given where it's due. And yes

0:15:10.040 --> 0:15:13.080
<v Speaker 3>it involves crumb fresh. We'll just say that. It's I

0:15:13.160 --> 0:15:16.360
<v Speaker 3>never imagine because I always put cheese in my eggs

0:15:16.440 --> 0:15:20.560
<v Speaker 3>and like, and you don't need anything other than salt, pepper.

0:15:21.640 --> 0:15:25.080
<v Speaker 2>Pem fresh and butter. Butter. You do need butter and

0:15:25.120 --> 0:15:27.440
<v Speaker 2>then the scallions on the.

0:15:27.200 --> 0:15:29.720
<v Speaker 1>If anybody out there you make scrambled eggs, if your

0:15:29.960 --> 0:15:32.520
<v Speaker 1>eggs are ready in less than a minute, you're not

0:15:32.600 --> 0:15:35.080
<v Speaker 1>doing it right. And that's how I grew up seeing

0:15:35.160 --> 0:15:38.160
<v Speaker 1>scrambled eggs being made. You just throw them, suckles in there,

0:15:38.880 --> 0:15:41.680
<v Speaker 1>whip it up, and you're good to go. These these

0:15:41.720 --> 0:15:43.960
<v Speaker 1>take time, They take effort, and they take a lot

0:15:43.960 --> 0:15:46.640
<v Speaker 1>of stirring on and off the aisle. And again it's

0:15:46.680 --> 0:15:48.560
<v Speaker 1>out there. This is not some secret he I think

0:15:48.600 --> 0:15:51.120
<v Speaker 1>there's an instructional video out there about it.

0:15:51.160 --> 0:15:53.040
<v Speaker 2>But they are so good.

0:15:53.120 --> 0:15:54.920
<v Speaker 1>How do we get on this? We were talking about, well, we.

0:15:54.800 --> 0:15:56.760
<v Speaker 2>Were talking about so the brunch reservations.

0:15:56.840 --> 0:16:00.720
<v Speaker 3>We were talking so now like today it's why where

0:16:00.760 --> 0:16:02.720
<v Speaker 3>every and we were just like, why is that? And

0:16:02.760 --> 0:16:05.800
<v Speaker 3>I think just traditionally more women, but you deserve a

0:16:05.840 --> 0:16:08.760
<v Speaker 3>lovely brunch. But we're going to the movies, which is

0:16:08.800 --> 0:16:10.000
<v Speaker 3>actually funny enough what I.

0:16:10.040 --> 0:16:14.240
<v Speaker 2>Did on Mother's Day? You came to a rom com.

0:16:14.360 --> 0:16:14.960
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, loved it.

0:16:15.400 --> 0:16:20.120
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, it was an action And do you want to

0:16:20.160 --> 0:16:23.120
<v Speaker 3>reveal the movie that you were going to?

0:16:23.240 --> 0:16:26.040
<v Speaker 1>No, we're going to or the one going Yeah this

0:16:26.160 --> 0:16:28.640
<v Speaker 1>is okay, this is a this is a Sabine thing.

0:16:28.680 --> 0:16:32.240
<v Speaker 1>This is a Sabine. Yes, this is a Sabine. Was like, yeah,

0:16:32.280 --> 0:16:34.360
<v Speaker 1>we gotta go. It was one because you and I

0:16:34.440 --> 0:16:36.440
<v Speaker 1>any movie. We were talking about the Ryan Gosling and

0:16:36.800 --> 0:16:40.600
<v Speaker 1>we want a fall Guy fall Gout, but we just

0:16:40.680 --> 0:16:42.920
<v Speaker 1>don't go to the theater unless it's a horror movie.

0:16:43.120 --> 0:16:44.960
<v Speaker 1>So if anybody suggests to me they want to go

0:16:45.000 --> 0:16:46.960
<v Speaker 1>to the theater and see anything other than I'm like,

0:16:47.040 --> 0:16:49.680
<v Speaker 1>not really, I'm not interested, And so I wouldn't have

0:16:49.720 --> 0:16:52.560
<v Speaker 1>gone to see any of this. But now this is

0:16:52.560 --> 0:16:53.960
<v Speaker 1>one Sabine and I gotta do our thing.

0:16:54.240 --> 0:16:59.520
<v Speaker 3>Okay, That's why I'm excited. A lot of dads in there,

0:17:00.200 --> 0:17:02.760
<v Speaker 3>didn't you say funny enough? It seemed like there were

0:17:03.080 --> 0:17:04.840
<v Speaker 3>a lot of people going to the movies because that

0:17:04.920 --> 0:17:07.120
<v Speaker 3>might be something that you're comfortable going to your dad with,

0:17:07.200 --> 0:17:08.800
<v Speaker 3>just sitting in a dark theater and not talking.

0:17:10.000 --> 0:17:12.760
<v Speaker 1>But that's say that and that is kind of and

0:17:12.840 --> 0:17:16.240
<v Speaker 1>I get it. We just have different relationships. Sabine was

0:17:16.240 --> 0:17:18.600
<v Speaker 1>even messaging me and she said, yeah, there's this is

0:17:18.640 --> 0:17:20.280
<v Speaker 1>gonna be a lot of dudes sitting on the couch

0:17:20.320 --> 0:17:22.960
<v Speaker 1>and enjoying that liquor that they were bought for a

0:17:23.000 --> 0:17:26.080
<v Speaker 1>Father's Day. I think that mindset, but it's just I

0:17:26.119 --> 0:17:29.600
<v Speaker 1>don't know that the day doesn't feel different. But yes,

0:17:29.760 --> 0:17:32.560
<v Speaker 1>dads are incredibly important. We just talked to our dads

0:17:32.640 --> 0:17:34.960
<v Speaker 1>and we talked about the money spent, right, you gave

0:17:35.000 --> 0:17:37.800
<v Speaker 1>that number already for the difference and the money we spend.

0:17:38.359 --> 0:17:43.040
<v Speaker 1>There's a difference in the amount of revenue. Almost doubles

0:17:43.080 --> 0:17:45.760
<v Speaker 1>in terms of the amount of revenue increase on Mother's

0:17:45.840 --> 0:17:50.080
<v Speaker 1>Day for restaurants versus Father's Day. And it is remarkable

0:17:50.119 --> 0:17:54.159
<v Speaker 1>to go on to Rezi or open table and party

0:17:54.200 --> 0:17:59.080
<v Speaker 1>of three for today. We got any anywhere you wanted.

0:17:59.280 --> 0:18:02.359
<v Speaker 3>It was crazy like probably maybe even more so than

0:18:02.400 --> 0:18:04.040
<v Speaker 3>any other random Sunday.

0:18:04.640 --> 0:18:09.399
<v Speaker 2>I don't know what.

0:18:07.359 --> 0:18:09.920
<v Speaker 3>What would be a perfect Father's Day for you? If

0:18:09.920 --> 0:18:11.720
<v Speaker 3>you could from start to finish, what would it be.

0:18:13.000 --> 0:18:17.040
<v Speaker 1>It would be one that the day in June that

0:18:17.200 --> 0:18:22.639
<v Speaker 1>feels just like a day in September. Or one in March,

0:18:23.040 --> 0:18:28.280
<v Speaker 1>or one that your child doesn't feel like something special

0:18:28.400 --> 0:18:32.159
<v Speaker 1>is taking place in the relationship today because this is

0:18:32.240 --> 0:18:33.680
<v Speaker 1>just my dad all the time. If you want to

0:18:33.680 --> 0:18:36.720
<v Speaker 1>say thank you and hand me a card, that's on

0:18:36.760 --> 0:18:40.679
<v Speaker 1>the day. But I just with there there is nothing

0:18:40.680 --> 0:18:42.640
<v Speaker 1>today like wow, we have to do something super duper

0:18:42.680 --> 0:18:46.960
<v Speaker 1>special to honor the relationship with Sabine today. Sabine is

0:18:47.480 --> 0:18:49.520
<v Speaker 1>you see me jump through hoops and do all kinds

0:18:49.560 --> 0:18:54.320
<v Speaker 1>of stuff on any day for Sabine. So I think

0:18:54.359 --> 0:18:59.760
<v Speaker 1>that's the greatest compliment here. Maybe it's just that we're

0:18:59.800 --> 0:19:02.440
<v Speaker 1>just it's a continuation of what we do all year.

0:19:02.680 --> 0:19:06.080
<v Speaker 3>I love that, and I do like the idea of

0:19:06.200 --> 0:19:10.000
<v Speaker 3>not having it feel obligatory, that it is just how

0:19:10.080 --> 0:19:12.959
<v Speaker 3>we act and what we say and what we do.

0:19:13.000 --> 0:19:15.560
<v Speaker 2>But it is a reminder. I do like this, you know.

0:19:15.640 --> 0:19:17.800
<v Speaker 3>I think we do take the people who do the

0:19:17.840 --> 0:19:20.520
<v Speaker 3>most for us the grant for granted oftentimes. So it's

0:19:20.520 --> 0:19:24.440
<v Speaker 3>just a reminder to say thank you. I think that's

0:19:24.480 --> 0:19:26.359
<v Speaker 3>the biggest thing. I love you and thank you, and

0:19:26.400 --> 0:19:29.600
<v Speaker 3>it never hurts, it's never a it's ever a bad

0:19:29.640 --> 0:19:33.400
<v Speaker 3>thing to hear that from, especially from your child.

0:19:33.560 --> 0:19:39.120
<v Speaker 1>What was the so we I was surprised we've gotten

0:19:39.160 --> 0:19:40.600
<v Speaker 1>to this habit now, you and I we talk to

0:19:40.640 --> 0:19:44.159
<v Speaker 1>our family members. You don't speaker, we hear everything. So

0:19:44.240 --> 0:19:46.560
<v Speaker 1>you heard this entire conversation I just had with myne

0:19:47.240 --> 0:19:49.520
<v Speaker 1>with my dad, telling him Happy Father's Day. But it

0:19:49.560 --> 0:19:53.880
<v Speaker 1>was it was interesting to hear him give advice, say,

0:19:53.880 --> 0:19:56.040
<v Speaker 1>we're abut to a corps. Well, what advice would you

0:19:56.080 --> 0:19:58.359
<v Speaker 1>give to dads out there in this episode? And I

0:19:58.400 --> 0:20:00.640
<v Speaker 1>was surprised at pretty much his A answer is now

0:20:00.680 --> 0:20:04.119
<v Speaker 1>my answer. I'm like, we always just no matter what

0:20:04.160 --> 0:20:05.480
<v Speaker 1>we're going to become, our parents are we.

0:20:05.520 --> 0:20:08.800
<v Speaker 3>Yep, that's that's pretty much where we're all headed. And

0:20:08.880 --> 0:20:11.879
<v Speaker 3>you learn that the more the older you get, the

0:20:11.880 --> 0:20:15.280
<v Speaker 3>more you realize like, damn, can't do anything about it.

0:20:16.800 --> 0:20:29.920
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, So my dad seventy six, it's five prostate cancer,

0:20:31.680 --> 0:20:34.960
<v Speaker 1>one mini heart attack he always calls it, but not

0:20:35.080 --> 0:20:41.720
<v Speaker 1>a major issue. He's had knee replacements, he's he's lost

0:20:42.040 --> 0:20:44.520
<v Speaker 1>one of his siblings here in recent years. Well, I'm

0:20:44.560 --> 0:20:47.120
<v Speaker 1>saying all this to say the dude has been through life,

0:20:47.200 --> 0:20:50.240
<v Speaker 1>has been through a lot, been married for fifty what

0:20:50.440 --> 0:20:54.199
<v Speaker 1>years now? Just the dude has seen a lot and

0:20:54.240 --> 0:20:56.679
<v Speaker 1>of course none of us get it all right, but

0:20:56.840 --> 0:20:58.679
<v Speaker 1>his advice. So this is why I asked him other

0:20:58.720 --> 0:21:01.159
<v Speaker 1>advice you wanted to pass along. This is what he

0:21:01.280 --> 0:21:07.480
<v Speaker 1>wanted to you all to know. He started with money.

0:21:07.720 --> 0:21:10.560
<v Speaker 1>Money just isn't important. You want to be able to

0:21:10.560 --> 0:21:12.280
<v Speaker 1>take care of yourself, you want to be able to provide,

0:21:12.359 --> 0:21:16.440
<v Speaker 1>but money is not important. And you have to recognize

0:21:16.560 --> 0:21:21.000
<v Speaker 1>once important. And we spend so much time chasing and

0:21:21.040 --> 0:21:22.720
<v Speaker 1>trying to do this, trying to do that and trying

0:21:22.760 --> 0:21:26.520
<v Speaker 1>to provide, but it does not matter. You cannot take

0:21:26.560 --> 0:21:28.320
<v Speaker 1>it with you. And this is the part where we

0:21:28.720 --> 0:21:31.680
<v Speaker 1>was like, wow, I'm my dad now. He said, it's

0:21:31.800 --> 0:21:36.880
<v Speaker 1>just time, is just spending time, and that's what's important.

0:21:37.119 --> 0:21:39.679
<v Speaker 1>And so this is what I've come around to lately,

0:21:40.080 --> 0:21:45.240
<v Speaker 1>is that the most important thing is just it really

0:21:45.320 --> 0:21:49.320
<v Speaker 1>is showing up. That's it. And if you can't show up,

0:21:49.359 --> 0:21:52.480
<v Speaker 1>if you're just available, right, if your kid texts you

0:21:52.560 --> 0:21:57.359
<v Speaker 1>and you text in thirty seconds, even that sends a

0:21:57.440 --> 0:22:00.440
<v Speaker 1>signal and a feeling that this person is available, will

0:22:00.440 --> 0:22:04.000
<v Speaker 1>stop what they're doing. And so that certainly is where

0:22:04.000 --> 0:22:06.680
<v Speaker 1>I am now, and I recognize more than anything, it's

0:22:06.720 --> 0:22:12.480
<v Speaker 1>not buying something. It's not. Sometimes it can be memories

0:22:12.600 --> 0:22:20.320
<v Speaker 1>providing experiences. But that recital, that concert that you know,

0:22:20.520 --> 0:22:24.480
<v Speaker 1>even that injury kid nick themselves and you make sure

0:22:24.520 --> 0:22:28.159
<v Speaker 1>you are there to provide a band aid or just

0:22:28.280 --> 0:22:31.600
<v Speaker 1>those little things I recognize them, or so anything is

0:22:31.600 --> 0:22:34.119
<v Speaker 1>the advice I would give the dads. It ain't what

0:22:34.200 --> 0:22:36.639
<v Speaker 1>you can buy. It's just a matter of time, the

0:22:36.720 --> 0:22:37.640
<v Speaker 1>time you can give.

0:22:38.040 --> 0:22:40.720
<v Speaker 3>Do you have a favorite memory or a memory that

0:22:40.840 --> 0:22:44.320
<v Speaker 3>stands out to you about your dad, like that moment

0:22:44.359 --> 0:22:48.320
<v Speaker 3>you're like, wow, my dad, my dad showed up, my

0:22:48.400 --> 0:22:50.919
<v Speaker 3>dad gave me this advice. My dad he was your

0:22:50.960 --> 0:22:56.159
<v Speaker 3>high school principal. So that's I love that dynamic to

0:22:56.160 --> 0:22:56.560
<v Speaker 3>begin with.

0:22:56.640 --> 0:22:58.359
<v Speaker 2>But do you have it?

0:22:58.359 --> 0:22:58.560
<v Speaker 1>Did?

0:22:58.640 --> 0:23:01.280
<v Speaker 3>Yeah? No, no, I mean it wouldn't be any child's

0:23:01.359 --> 0:23:04.000
<v Speaker 3>dream to have their father be the principal. But do

0:23:04.040 --> 0:23:05.960
<v Speaker 3>you have a memory that stands out at all over

0:23:06.000 --> 0:23:06.439
<v Speaker 3>the years.

0:23:06.560 --> 0:23:09.760
<v Speaker 1>You're not gonna Yeah, I didn't. And you said about

0:23:09.800 --> 0:23:15.040
<v Speaker 1>House high school that jumps out at me all. Yes,

0:23:15.080 --> 0:23:17.320
<v Speaker 1>he was my high school principal, and high school was

0:23:17.320 --> 0:23:19.560
<v Speaker 1>tenth to eleven to twelfth grade, so that was three years,

0:23:19.560 --> 0:23:21.680
<v Speaker 1>and my sister was in school with me for one

0:23:21.680 --> 0:23:26.399
<v Speaker 1>of those years. So he was our principal. And I

0:23:26.440 --> 0:23:28.800
<v Speaker 1>always people say, oh, you poor guy, but no, I

0:23:28.880 --> 0:23:31.719
<v Speaker 1>always say I loved it because I knew the system

0:23:31.760 --> 0:23:34.600
<v Speaker 1>well and I knew how to manipulate it. I saw everything.

0:23:35.200 --> 0:23:36.959
<v Speaker 1>I saw everything my dad did, and I knew how

0:23:37.000 --> 0:23:41.360
<v Speaker 1>I worked. But I had two types of teachers. One

0:23:41.440 --> 0:23:45.080
<v Speaker 1>that wanted to maybe kiss my ass because they wanted

0:23:45.080 --> 0:23:47.000
<v Speaker 1>to make sure they made a good impression for the principal,

0:23:47.000 --> 0:23:50.040
<v Speaker 1>their boss, and the other were the teachers who wanted

0:23:50.040 --> 0:23:52.360
<v Speaker 1>to make an example out of me, to say, oh, oh,

0:23:52.200 --> 0:23:55.240
<v Speaker 1>you ain't getting away with anything because you're the principal son.

0:23:56.960 --> 0:24:00.479
<v Speaker 1>My dad understood that dynamic I was. I'm not a

0:24:00.520 --> 0:24:02.879
<v Speaker 1>bad kid. I wasn't trying to get away with anything.

0:24:02.920 --> 0:24:05.919
<v Speaker 1>I was never that. So if any teacher picked on me,

0:24:06.880 --> 0:24:10.040
<v Speaker 1>he recognized. And I can remember, I have not thought

0:24:10.080 --> 0:24:12.880
<v Speaker 1>about this ever, and you just made me think about it.

0:24:13.800 --> 0:24:19.680
<v Speaker 1>To see him defend me when he saw what was happening,

0:24:19.720 --> 0:24:22.400
<v Speaker 1>and it was pretty majority like white teachers who were

0:24:22.520 --> 0:24:26.040
<v Speaker 1>often doing this. But to watch him take up for me,

0:24:26.160 --> 0:24:29.040
<v Speaker 1>that was never a question he gave, like, son, have

0:24:29.119 --> 0:24:31.440
<v Speaker 1>you been doing this? They said that. It was never

0:24:31.480 --> 0:24:34.160
<v Speaker 1>that he automatically knew and he was one hundred percent

0:24:34.280 --> 0:24:35.880
<v Speaker 1>right that I was being picked on that I don't

0:24:35.920 --> 0:24:37.600
<v Speaker 1>know why that memory just plopped up in my head.

0:24:37.640 --> 0:24:39.800
<v Speaker 3>That was weird, but it matters at those moments when

0:24:39.840 --> 0:24:41.639
<v Speaker 3>you want, you need somebody to stand up for you.

0:24:41.720 --> 0:24:44.679
<v Speaker 2>And your dad did. I love that. I love that.

0:24:44.920 --> 0:24:47.439
<v Speaker 1>But you I just heard your dad here give advice

0:24:47.480 --> 0:24:50.159
<v Speaker 1>and he was your dad's a very thoughtful guy, and

0:24:50.200 --> 0:24:52.760
<v Speaker 1>it looked like he wanted to give this, like yeah, like, baby,

0:24:52.800 --> 0:24:54.520
<v Speaker 1>I need more time than you're giving me, but this

0:24:54.560 --> 0:24:54.959
<v Speaker 1>is what I got.

0:24:55.080 --> 0:24:56.360
<v Speaker 2>I didn't give him a lot of time. I put

0:24:56.400 --> 0:24:56.960
<v Speaker 2>him on the spot.

0:24:57.160 --> 0:24:58.960
<v Speaker 3>He and my mom were getting ready to go to church,

0:24:59.160 --> 0:25:01.240
<v Speaker 3>and I was like, da, I'm not trying to just

0:25:01.640 --> 0:25:03.520
<v Speaker 3>put this on you, but I'm going to do that.

0:25:04.280 --> 0:25:06.439
<v Speaker 3>He actually said a few things to me, and then

0:25:06.480 --> 0:25:08.680
<v Speaker 3>he texted me more later, which I thought was cute,

0:25:08.720 --> 0:25:09.359
<v Speaker 3>like maybe on the.

0:25:09.359 --> 0:25:12.880
<v Speaker 2>Way to church, right, I want to get this right.

0:25:13.720 --> 0:25:15.840
<v Speaker 3>But the first thing that came out of his mouth

0:25:15.840 --> 0:25:19.320
<v Speaker 3>in terms of advice on fatherhood was to be of service.

0:25:19.960 --> 0:25:22.560
<v Speaker 3>That too often we're all focused on what we need,

0:25:22.600 --> 0:25:25.840
<v Speaker 3>what we want, and he said his role as a

0:25:25.840 --> 0:25:28.399
<v Speaker 3>father and as a man was to be of service

0:25:28.400 --> 0:25:31.800
<v Speaker 3>to other people and to do that through example, that

0:25:31.840 --> 0:25:36.800
<v Speaker 3>you're teaching your children that thinking outside of your needs

0:25:37.520 --> 0:25:41.160
<v Speaker 3>is really the path to happiness and peace, and it's

0:25:41.320 --> 0:25:43.399
<v Speaker 3>underrated and people don't talk about it very often. But

0:25:43.840 --> 0:25:46.040
<v Speaker 3>that is what he felt like was a really important

0:25:46.160 --> 0:25:48.880
<v Speaker 3>role as a father to show that, to be of service.

0:25:49.200 --> 0:25:51.520
<v Speaker 3>And my dad was always the guy like, oh, my goodness,

0:25:51.520 --> 0:25:53.560
<v Speaker 3>if I needed something, if my mom needed something, if

0:25:53.600 --> 0:25:56.160
<v Speaker 3>my brother, he would be the guy, no matter what time.

0:25:56.160 --> 0:25:57.600
<v Speaker 3>If it was two o'clock in the morning and we

0:25:57.680 --> 0:26:00.520
<v Speaker 3>needed something from the drug store, he would get up

0:26:00.520 --> 0:26:03.160
<v Speaker 3>and he would go. And he was always that.

0:26:03.080 --> 0:26:03.920
<v Speaker 2>Guy who.

0:26:05.240 --> 0:26:08.359
<v Speaker 3>Was of service to my entire family. And that is

0:26:08.440 --> 0:26:10.240
<v Speaker 3>one hundred percent true no matter where he was in

0:26:10.280 --> 0:26:13.679
<v Speaker 3>the world. I felt like, I remember moments when I

0:26:13.720 --> 0:26:17.119
<v Speaker 3>had a gymnastics meet and he would literally be in

0:26:17.200 --> 0:26:20.159
<v Speaker 3>Russia or China and would be coming straight from the

0:26:20.160 --> 0:26:22.439
<v Speaker 3>airport to sit on a bench for five hours and

0:26:22.480 --> 0:26:24.680
<v Speaker 3>watch little girls, you know.

0:26:25.560 --> 0:26:27.159
<v Speaker 2>Do what they do on the beam and the floor.

0:26:27.280 --> 0:26:29.199
<v Speaker 3>Right. But you know, I just but he showed up

0:26:29.240 --> 0:26:32.440
<v Speaker 3>to your point, like, just showing up is such a

0:26:32.520 --> 0:26:35.679
<v Speaker 3>huge part of it. But he added the text he

0:26:35.720 --> 0:26:38.080
<v Speaker 3>wrote to me, he said, one more thing. It's not

0:26:38.119 --> 0:26:40.960
<v Speaker 3>so much what you say, but more about what you do.

0:26:41.359 --> 0:26:44.919
<v Speaker 3>And so his he is a man of few words.

0:26:44.960 --> 0:26:48.080
<v Speaker 3>He and I I was just a joke. He's you know,

0:26:48.160 --> 0:26:51.439
<v Speaker 3>he's what is he ninety seven percent German according to

0:26:51.520 --> 0:26:52.240
<v Speaker 3>twenty three and me.

0:26:52.359 --> 0:26:53.240
<v Speaker 2>He's a scientist.

0:26:53.320 --> 0:26:56.800
<v Speaker 3>He's a microbiologist, so a German scientist coming from a

0:26:56.880 --> 0:27:03.000
<v Speaker 3>family My grandpa was also a German scientist, so you know,

0:27:03.400 --> 0:27:07.760
<v Speaker 3>feelings and emotions not a big part of I know

0:27:07.800 --> 0:27:10.160
<v Speaker 3>that sounds stereotypical, but it just kind of is culturally

0:27:10.320 --> 0:27:10.919
<v Speaker 3>the way it is.

0:27:10.960 --> 0:27:13.960
<v Speaker 2>And he's very left brained, right, that's what it is.

0:27:14.119 --> 0:27:14.800
<v Speaker 2>Or is it right brain?

0:27:14.840 --> 0:27:15.359
<v Speaker 3>See, I'm not.

0:27:15.760 --> 0:27:16.440
<v Speaker 2>It's one of the two.

0:27:16.480 --> 0:27:20.080
<v Speaker 3>He's the scientific side of the brain, so you know,

0:27:20.480 --> 0:27:24.960
<v Speaker 3>being a motive and all of that wasn't necessarily how

0:27:25.000 --> 0:27:26.679
<v Speaker 3>he showed up. But he showed up by being there,

0:27:26.720 --> 0:27:29.280
<v Speaker 3>by being present, by being strong, by being of service,

0:27:29.400 --> 0:27:32.159
<v Speaker 3>and being He had a very and has always had

0:27:32.200 --> 0:27:34.480
<v Speaker 3>an extremely strong moral compass, and that's been a huge

0:27:34.520 --> 0:27:37.280
<v Speaker 3>part of his life and including his faith. So he

0:27:37.480 --> 0:27:39.639
<v Speaker 3>passed that along to me what I love about for

0:27:39.760 --> 0:27:41.359
<v Speaker 3>me at least, and I hear it in your dad's

0:27:41.440 --> 0:27:44.160
<v Speaker 3>voice too, because I know he was a strong authoritarian

0:27:44.200 --> 0:27:47.680
<v Speaker 3>as well. My dad absolutely was as well. But as

0:27:47.720 --> 0:27:53.800
<v Speaker 3>they get older, they just soften so sweetly. And I see,

0:27:53.840 --> 0:27:56.520
<v Speaker 3>like I've hugged my dad more as an adult than

0:27:56.520 --> 0:27:58.760
<v Speaker 3>I probably ever did as a child. And I see

0:27:58.800 --> 0:28:01.560
<v Speaker 3>him with my daughters and it's just it's beautiful.

0:28:01.720 --> 0:28:02.320
<v Speaker 2>It's amazing.

0:28:02.760 --> 0:28:06.280
<v Speaker 1>He is so great with your daughter. Yeah, you could

0:28:06.280 --> 0:28:08.199
<v Speaker 1>see how much. You know what, the cutest part is

0:28:08.240 --> 0:28:10.680
<v Speaker 1>not him, it's them. How they gravitate towards him.

0:28:10.680 --> 0:28:12.600
<v Speaker 3>They will crawl on his lap and hold his hand.

0:28:12.640 --> 0:28:16.640
<v Speaker 3>And he's tough. He's still tough. He oh, he will go,

0:28:17.000 --> 0:28:20.400
<v Speaker 3>like you know, toe to toe on from hot topics

0:28:20.440 --> 0:28:24.800
<v Speaker 3>and current events to just you know, how we live

0:28:24.840 --> 0:28:25.280
<v Speaker 3>our lives.

0:28:25.359 --> 0:28:26.520
<v Speaker 2>My dad doesn't back down.

0:28:26.600 --> 0:28:30.000
<v Speaker 3>He's always been strong in his beliefs, which I appreciate,

0:28:30.359 --> 0:28:36.240
<v Speaker 3>and but there's always healthy debate, and I love and

0:28:36.280 --> 0:28:37.000
<v Speaker 3>my oh my.

0:28:36.960 --> 0:28:39.040
<v Speaker 2>God, my daughters respect the hell out of him.

0:28:39.360 --> 0:28:42.120
<v Speaker 3>That's also you know, when you certainly you've lived enough

0:28:42.160 --> 0:28:44.680
<v Speaker 3>life and you've seen enough things in the world to

0:28:45.040 --> 0:28:49.880
<v Speaker 3>know that there's just a wisdom that we at least

0:28:49.880 --> 0:28:53.280
<v Speaker 3>need to acknowledge in the men in our lives. There

0:28:53.320 --> 0:28:54.840
<v Speaker 3>is a wisdom and a lot to learn.

0:28:56.320 --> 0:29:02.160
<v Speaker 1>Whoa just walked in door speaking of the dell? Yes,

0:29:02.200 --> 0:29:04.840

0:31:38.280 --> 0:31:41.040
<v Speaker 1>don't look at social media, I don't look at articles

0:31:41.040 --> 0:31:43.560
<v Speaker 1>and things. But you were you were kind of over

0:31:43.600 --> 0:31:47.760
<v Speaker 1>the moon and found some of the response to our

0:31:47.840 --> 0:31:49.440
<v Speaker 1>last few episodes very hard.

0:31:49.480 --> 0:31:52.040
<v Speaker 3>Felt well, I don't know if you remember when you

0:31:52.080 --> 0:31:54.640
<v Speaker 3>were over I guess right before Analyice left yesterday, she

0:31:54.760 --> 0:31:56.560
<v Speaker 3>kind of yelled out from a room because we were

0:31:56.560 --> 0:31:58.760
<v Speaker 3>talking about a podcast. She's like, you guys are getting

0:31:58.840 --> 0:32:03.720
<v Speaker 3>really positive comments. So I was like, wow, so I

0:32:03.800 --> 0:32:05.880
<v Speaker 3>read them sometimes that apparently my daughters are reading the

0:32:05.880 --> 0:32:08.400
<v Speaker 3>comments constantly, so that's a little unnerving, but it's no.

0:32:08.480 --> 0:32:10.080
<v Speaker 3>It was she was like, they were like, yay, they

0:32:10.120 --> 0:32:13.040
<v Speaker 3>were rooting for us. They were excited that it seemed

0:32:13.040 --> 0:32:15.280
<v Speaker 3>like there was a lot of real positive response, not

0:32:15.360 --> 0:32:17.440
<v Speaker 3>just to you know, the last few episodes, but I

0:32:17.440 --> 0:32:19.960
<v Speaker 3>think just you know, it's just it feels good. And

0:32:20.040 --> 0:32:24.680
<v Speaker 3>we appreciate positive comments. We appreciate people just saying that

0:32:24.720 --> 0:32:27.240
<v Speaker 3>they enjoyed this or that, and so thank you, thank you.

0:32:27.400 --> 0:32:30.520
