1
00:00:00,800 --> 00:00:02,960
Speaker 1: Who wrote this this morning? Let me see you uh

2
00:00:03,120 --> 00:00:07,520
Speaker 1: oh Rufio wrote this. So I spend a lot of time.

3
00:00:08,119 --> 00:00:13,440
Speaker 1: I'm semi fantasizing about the time when Polly is old

4
00:00:13,520 --> 00:00:17,760
Speaker 1: enough to start doing cool things that interest me, and

5
00:00:17,800 --> 00:00:20,079
Speaker 1: then I hope interest her, you know what I mean. Like,

6
00:00:20,079 --> 00:00:22,920
Speaker 1: and this is not even my kid, Okay, I treat

7
00:00:22,920 --> 00:00:24,880
Speaker 1: this kid like in my mind like it's my kid,

8
00:00:25,079 --> 00:00:26,480
Speaker 1: even though I don't do any of the hard work

9
00:00:26,520 --> 00:00:30,640
Speaker 1: of parenting. Which is probably add to my sister's annoyance

10
00:00:30,680 --> 00:00:32,559
Speaker 1: with me, is that, you know, basically, I get all

11
00:00:32,560 --> 00:00:36,519
Speaker 1: the benefits of parenting without any of the non benefits

12
00:00:36,520 --> 00:00:40,120
Speaker 1: of parenting. But that's what uncles and aunts do and grandparents, right,

13
00:00:40,200 --> 00:00:43,120
Speaker 1: that's what we're supposed to do. But I think about

14
00:00:43,120 --> 00:00:45,080
Speaker 1: going to Cubs games with her. I think about flying.

15
00:00:45,280 --> 00:00:47,040
Speaker 1: I think about the fact that little girl is getting

16
00:00:47,040 --> 00:00:49,120
Speaker 1: her pilot's license, whether she wants to or not, because

17
00:00:49,120 --> 00:00:52,400
Speaker 1: her because her uncle went to you know, Duluth, Minnesota

18
00:00:52,440 --> 00:00:55,120
Speaker 1: for weeks on end to become a flight instructor. Unbeknounced

19
00:00:55,120 --> 00:00:57,520
Speaker 1: to her she was a fetus basically. But I'm like, no,

20
00:00:57,560 --> 00:00:59,440
Speaker 1: I'm going to become a flight instructor so in eighteen

21
00:00:59,520 --> 00:01:01,240
Speaker 1: years I can teach her how to fly. I might

22
00:01:01,280 --> 00:01:04,679
Speaker 1: even be dead, who knows what's gonna happen. But I

23
00:01:04,680 --> 00:01:06,520
Speaker 1: mean all kinds of I can't wait till she comes

24
00:01:06,560 --> 00:01:08,679
Speaker 1: and visits me without her parents. Like I'm so excited

25
00:01:08,680 --> 00:01:11,440
Speaker 1: about all of this. I'm also excited for her to

26
00:01:11,560 --> 00:01:13,880
Speaker 1: have an interest in like toys and different things that

27
00:01:14,080 --> 00:01:16,520
Speaker 1: I also like, so I have an excuse to go

28
00:01:16,600 --> 00:01:18,960
Speaker 1: and buy all these things. And I've said this to

29
00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:21,120
Speaker 1: you about Ashland too, like when he's ready, like when

30
00:01:21,160 --> 00:01:22,880
Speaker 1: I don't know if he's into whatever, and I'm I

31
00:01:22,920 --> 00:01:24,960
Speaker 1: don't really know a lot about toys and video games,

32
00:01:24,959 --> 00:01:27,680
Speaker 1: but like I don't know puzzles and card games and

33
00:01:27,720 --> 00:01:31,200
Speaker 1: models are cool, and remote control stuff like I will

34
00:01:31,200 --> 00:01:33,800
Speaker 1: buy remote control stuff for your kid just so that

35
00:01:33,920 --> 00:01:37,319
Speaker 1: I can play with it, And I'll buy whatever. It's

36
00:01:37,360 --> 00:01:38,480
Speaker 1: the same way that I want to buy you a

37
00:01:38,560 --> 00:01:41,000
Speaker 1: riding lawnmower so I could ride, so I could finally

38
00:01:41,600 --> 00:01:44,480
Speaker 1: live my dream of go with the cup holder and

39
00:01:44,520 --> 00:01:47,720
Speaker 1: the whole thing. Okay, but you were playing over the weekend,

40

00:01:53,680 --> 00:01:56,120
Speaker 2: couple of small little thing containers of play though, and

43
00:01:56,120 --> 00:01:58,320
Speaker 2: then we were at Target over the weekend and he

44
00:01:58,440 --> 00:01:59,400
Speaker 2: just saw the platoisle.

45
00:01:59,400 --> 00:02:01,440
Speaker 1: He's just like his eyes.

46
00:02:01,240 --> 00:02:02,880
Speaker 2: Like lit up, and I was like, let's get the

47
00:02:03,400 --> 00:02:05,520
Speaker 2: basic one, the one you just squeeze and like it

48
00:02:05,840 --> 00:02:07,240
Speaker 2: used to come out looking like spaghetti.

49
00:02:07,280 --> 00:02:12,680
Speaker 1: Whatevert smell of him? Right, yeah, very DECI six colors.

50
00:02:12,720 --> 00:02:15,880
Speaker 2: So yesterday we just spent like hours and hours of

51
00:02:16,400 --> 00:02:17,720
Speaker 2: we had like a little rest of around.

52
00:02:17,800 --> 00:02:20,760
Speaker 1: You know, he's cutting in spaghetti, but he just wanted

53
00:02:20,760 --> 00:02:22,280
Speaker 1: to make spaghetti. He didn't want to make anything else.

54
00:02:22,800 --> 00:02:24,600
Speaker 1: What about this shape too?

55
00:02:26,040 --> 00:02:27,440
Speaker 2: So it was like a lot of fun, like just

56
00:02:27,639 --> 00:02:30,520
Speaker 2: reminiscing like I remember doing this as a kid, like

57
00:02:30,600 --> 00:02:34,079
Speaker 2: playing hours and hours of playto making sandwiches or doing whatever,

58
00:02:34,160 --> 00:02:36,760
Speaker 2: making the stencils they came with it, or the stamps.

59
00:02:36,760 --> 00:02:38,400
Speaker 2: So it was a lot of fun and he enjoyed

60
00:02:38,440 --> 00:02:39,120
Speaker 2: and I enjoyed it.

61
00:02:39,160 --> 00:02:41,560
Speaker 1: So yeah, it was really cool. What was it? What

62
00:02:41,760 --> 00:02:44,960
Speaker 1: is the thing that either as in the I don't know,

63
00:02:45,200 --> 00:02:47,600
Speaker 1: it could be a big brother, big sister and uncle

64
00:02:47,880 --> 00:02:51,200
Speaker 1: parent that your kid's into and basically you're more into

65
00:02:51,280 --> 00:02:53,000
Speaker 1: it than the kid is or you're more excited to

66
00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:55,400
Speaker 1: play than the kid is at this point, because I

67
00:02:55,440 --> 00:02:57,639
Speaker 1: feel like that's what's going to happen is I'm gonna

68
00:02:57,680 --> 00:03:00,880
Speaker 1: be so stoked about all these toys more probably than

69
00:03:00,919 --> 00:03:02,720
Speaker 1: she will be, Yeah, or Ashton will be.

70
00:03:02,919 --> 00:03:05,400
Speaker 2: I grew up loving Lego and used to build the

71
00:03:05,400 --> 00:03:07,399
Speaker 2: sets and everything, like follow the instructions.

72
00:03:07,560 --> 00:03:09,360
Speaker 1: That's why I think I like Ikia too. It's like

73
00:03:09,639 --> 00:03:10,080
Speaker 1: growing up.

74
00:03:10,120 --> 00:03:13,080
Speaker 2: It's like growing up Lego, you know, follow instructions, build it.

75
00:03:13,880 --> 00:03:15,400
Speaker 1: He's not at that level yet.

76
00:03:15,440 --> 00:03:17,760
Speaker 2: Like we'll buy a little small kit and he just

77
00:03:17,800 --> 00:03:20,399
Speaker 2: wants to just build whatever and just destroy it. I'm like, no,

78
00:03:20,760 --> 00:03:22,800
Speaker 2: you gotta follow the instructions, so we're not We're not.

79
00:03:23,240 --> 00:03:25,120
Speaker 1: That's all I ever did. Yeah. Now, even as a

80
00:03:25,200 --> 00:03:27,280
Speaker 1: grown up, the Legos that have like instructions you have

81
00:03:27,320 --> 00:03:29,560
Speaker 1: to follow, they stress me out. It's too much. There's

82
00:03:29,600 --> 00:03:33,000
Speaker 1: too much pressure. It's like step by step instruction. And

83
00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:35,080
Speaker 1: you would think there's someone like me who's like Taipei

84
00:03:35,120 --> 00:03:37,400
Speaker 1: and OCD. You'd think I would be like you think

85
00:03:37,400 --> 00:03:39,800
Speaker 1: I would dig it because it's super satisfying at the end,

86
00:03:40,200 --> 00:03:41,680
Speaker 1: But I don't know. I look at all the little

87
00:03:41,720 --> 00:03:45,320
Speaker 1: packages a little plastic things, and I'm like, oh God,

88
00:03:45,800 --> 00:03:48,400
Speaker 1: how is this all going to come together? And then

89
00:03:48,520 --> 00:03:50,160
Speaker 1: for some reason, I always have extra parts and I

90
00:03:50,160 --> 00:03:51,880
Speaker 1: don't think you're supposed do they do? They give you

91
00:03:51,920 --> 00:03:54,400
Speaker 1: extra you? Sure they do. Yeah, but that's what people

92
00:03:54,400 --> 00:03:57,040
Speaker 1: are saying that Legos eight five five five one three

93
00:03:57,160 --> 00:04:00,520
Speaker 1: five Legos they pump up the adult Still. I remember

94
00:04:00,520 --> 00:04:02,840
Speaker 1: I used to love building a little pillow forts too

95
00:04:02,880 --> 00:04:05,040
Speaker 1: with blankets. I tear up the entire living room and

96
00:04:05,080 --> 00:04:06,960
Speaker 1: make the six. I'm way too big for that now,

97
00:04:07,120 --> 00:04:08,840
Speaker 1: but I probably still would do it if I could.

98
00:04:09,400 --> 00:04:11,200
Speaker 1: Like in my house, I probably would still do it.

99
00:04:11,240 --> 00:04:14,000
Speaker 2: He takes all of our couch cushions and plays Floors Lava.

100
00:04:14,320 --> 00:04:16,160
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, we just covered the dead.

101
00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:18,680
Speaker 2: Show on Netflix is a show called Floors Game Show.

102
00:04:18,800 --> 00:04:20,320
Speaker 2: There's a lot of It's a really cool show. And

103
00:04:20,400 --> 00:04:22,680
Speaker 2: so he just throws all the cushions everywhere and just

104
00:04:22,760 --> 00:04:23,760
Speaker 2: jumping and flipping.

105
00:04:24,040 --> 00:04:27,920
Speaker 1: He's like, Floor's Lava. Dad, get off the floor. Like, okay, yeah,

106
00:04:28,560 --> 00:04:30,680
Speaker 1: you got a bunch of nieces and nephews.

107
00:04:30,839 --> 00:04:35,120
Speaker 3: Yes for me, you know, it's getting them karaoke microphones,

108
00:04:35,680 --> 00:04:37,960
Speaker 3: So I get everything one. As soon as they can talk,

109
00:04:38,040 --> 00:04:40,680
Speaker 3: I get them a karaoke microphone and then their parents

110
00:04:40,680 --> 00:04:44,320
Speaker 3: curse me out. But I enjoy like doing karaoke with them,

111
00:04:44,400 --> 00:04:46,800
Speaker 3: letting them sing, find their voice is what I like

112
00:04:46,839 --> 00:04:47,200
Speaker 3: to call it.

113
00:04:47,320 --> 00:04:49,200
Speaker 1: But yeah, I always give the kids a microphone and

114
00:04:49,279 --> 00:04:53,839
Speaker 1: let them find their voice. Yeah, give them microphone. Leave. Yeah, yes,

115
00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:56,440
Speaker 1: you don't have to hear about it. Yeah, but they

116
00:04:56,520 --> 00:04:58,719
Speaker 1: gave somebody gave my sister or my niece a little

117
00:04:58,760 --> 00:05:02,080
Speaker 1: karaoke thing and a microphone that got reverb on it

118
00:05:02,120 --> 00:05:04,360
Speaker 1: and stuff, and she talks into it, and she's like

119
00:05:04,440 --> 00:05:06,320
Speaker 1: then she like sort of is so proud of herself,

120
00:05:07,200 --> 00:05:09,440
Speaker 1: like her they kind of like her uncle like talks

121
00:05:09,440 --> 00:05:11,600
Speaker 1: into the microphone and then she's sort of like god,

122
00:05:11,600 --> 00:05:13,760
Speaker 1: a smile on her face, like yeah, that's right, Yeah

123
00:05:13,880 --> 00:05:16,120
Speaker 1: I just did that. But yeah, yeah, I don't think

124
00:05:16,120 --> 00:05:17,560
Speaker 1: it's loud enough. Though. I think I need to get

125
00:05:17,560 --> 00:05:20,640
Speaker 1: her some professional gear here pretty soon. I mean it's time.

126
00:05:20,760 --> 00:05:22,680
Speaker 1: I think it's time to two and a half. I

127
00:05:22,720 --> 00:05:26,400
Speaker 1: think it's time to sign a teacher a trade. Yes, teacher,

128
00:05:26,400 --> 00:05:29,400
Speaker 1: a skill that will make her not a lot of

129
00:05:29,400 --> 00:05:31,960
Speaker 1: money and make her really frustrated and have to get

130
00:05:32,040 --> 00:05:33,360
Speaker 1: up early in the morning for the rest of her,

131
00:05:33,640 --> 00:05:39,159
Speaker 1: maybe I won't do that shrinky drink. What's a shrinky drink?

132
00:05:39,320 --> 00:05:42,600
Speaker 1: Shrinky drink? My friend and I both thirty, went to

133
00:05:42,640 --> 00:05:45,560
Speaker 1: Harry Potter at water Tower and had a blast. But

134
00:05:45,640 --> 00:05:47,640
Speaker 1: all the kids who I went with said it was

135
00:05:47,720 --> 00:05:52,520
Speaker 1: just okay. Yeah, see that makes sense, it's perfect. I'm

136
00:05:52,920 --> 00:05:55,080
Speaker 1: ashamed to admit how much money I spent on legos

137
00:05:55,120 --> 00:05:57,640
Speaker 1: per month and I'm thirty eight years old. No shame

138
00:05:57,680 --> 00:06:01,520
Speaker 1: in that. No, the light bosome sets Oh my light bright,

139
00:06:01,600 --> 00:06:05,000
Speaker 1: I missed my light bright. They sell it again that target.

140
00:06:05,520 --> 00:06:08,800
Speaker 2: What's old becomes new, what gets in the nostalgia isle.

141
00:06:08,839 --> 00:06:11,680
Speaker 1: I'm like, oh my god, well that's the other thing.

142
00:06:11,720 --> 00:06:13,520
Speaker 1: If you have an old light bright, like, don't let

143
00:06:13,560 --> 00:06:15,240
Speaker 1: the kid play with that. It's probably worth something. I

144
00:06:15,279 --> 00:06:20,160
Speaker 1: don't get them the new one. Hey Aaron, good morning.

145
00:06:19,080 --> 00:06:20,040
Speaker 4: Hi, good morning.

146
00:06:20,960 --> 00:06:21,400
Speaker 2: I love.

147
00:06:23,560 --> 00:06:26,479
Speaker 4: Happy Monday. So yeah, it's not me. It's actually my

148
00:06:26,560 --> 00:06:29,080
Speaker 4: older brother, my nephew. He's so so cut, he's a

149
00:06:29,160 --> 00:06:31,960
Speaker 4: year and a half. But my older brother has like

150
00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:34,440
Speaker 4: this obsession with like and I know they have like

151
00:06:34,480 --> 00:06:36,960
Speaker 4: the adult ones that you were just talking about, and

152
00:06:37,000 --> 00:06:40,000
Speaker 4: he actually sends them to my husband and I'm like,

153
00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:42,159
Speaker 4: weally can't handle it. We just like good time we're

154
00:06:42,160 --> 00:06:46,520
Speaker 4: doing it and tell my kids because it stresses us out.

155
00:06:46,760 --> 00:06:50,039
Speaker 4: But anyway, long story short, he has built shelves. He

156
00:06:50,080 --> 00:06:52,760
Speaker 4: has spent hours and hours building shelves in his home.

157
00:06:53,000 --> 00:06:55,279
Speaker 4: But he can have like he's basically built all of

158
00:06:55,360 --> 00:06:59,800
Speaker 4: New York CUDI in his freaking two bendroom apartment. And

159
00:07:00,279 --> 00:07:03,080
Speaker 4: when my nephew is old enough, it's gonna be like,

160
00:07:03,160 --> 00:07:04,960
Speaker 4: I don't even know if he's going.

161
00:07:04,880 --> 00:07:10,200
Speaker 1: To play Wow, he doesn't like that your brother. Is

162
00:07:10,200 --> 00:07:11,800
Speaker 1: he sexually active or no?

163
00:07:15,640 --> 00:07:18,640
Speaker 4: But maybe I should check on that.

164
00:07:19,000 --> 00:07:21,160
Speaker 1: I don't know, Like I mean, I think it's gonna

165
00:07:21,160 --> 00:07:22,800
Speaker 1: go one way or the other. I think that's a

166
00:07:22,920 --> 00:07:25,040
Speaker 1: very polar reaction from a woman or a man or

167
00:07:25,080 --> 00:07:27,360
Speaker 1: whatever he's into. If you go over to somebody's house

168
00:07:27,400 --> 00:07:30,480
Speaker 1: and they have extensive lego collections as an adult, I

169
00:07:30,480 --> 00:07:33,520
Speaker 1: think either that's gonna be like wildly popular with somebody

170
00:07:33,640 --> 00:07:35,440
Speaker 1: or they're going to be like this dude is a dork.

171
00:07:36,720 --> 00:07:37,480
Speaker 1: We don't need to.

172
00:07:37,440 --> 00:07:39,320
Speaker 4: Talk about my brother's polar reaction.

173
00:07:40,360 --> 00:07:46,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's fair enough. Fair enough, you have a great day. Okay,
