Speaker 1: Well, well, wow, look who it is. We know it's parents,
Speaker 1: and I'm Peter McNerney that and you're you the fine listener, fine,
Speaker 1: your finest of listening. You are fine. We have great
Speaker 1: we have great listeners. We do. We have the finest,
Speaker 1: nothing but the best. It's true. No jerks, no jerks. Yeah,
Speaker 1: people get upset with us very rarely. It's usually usually
Speaker 1: the car seats, car seats. Oh yeah, it's usually like
Speaker 1: a valid point that. It's usually like, hey, you're using
Speaker 1: your car seats wrong. You're recommending car seats for kids
Speaker 1: that are too young to use those car seats. I'm
Speaker 1: not gonna say they're wrong. I mean, just to clarify,
Speaker 1: this is the in reference to travel car seats, which
Speaker 1: are not a regular car seats. Well, they also got
Speaker 1: criticized for putting our kids in car seats with their
Speaker 1: winter jackets on. Yeah, I know that's the thing. And
Speaker 1: I also say, no, I think we are For the record,
Speaker 1: you're right. For the record, you're right, we are wrong.
Speaker 1: It is correct. But I also think sometimes we have
Speaker 1: to let parents live their lives and it's cold that
Speaker 1: side and kids need coats on up in Minnesota, I'm like,
Speaker 1: what parents are getting out in like thirty below. My
Speaker 1: one of my midwives, who is one of the most
Speaker 1: sort of strict, seeming like direct midwives, like the she's
Speaker 1: like the older one who was just like when I
Speaker 1: told her I thought it might be pregnant with twins,
Speaker 1: she was like, there's no twins in there. I hate
Speaker 1: to tell you this. Like she was just like, listen up, idiot,
Speaker 1: I've seen twins that ain't twins. She's like very abrupt.
Speaker 1: So I was talking to her um years ago when
Speaker 1: I was post parton or something, and she was like,
Speaker 1: my daughters all stressed out about trying not to put
Speaker 1: the kids in car seats with their jackets on and
Speaker 1: all this stuff, and I said, just tighten the straps.
Speaker 1: And I was like, thank god, this woman is giving
Speaker 1: me permission to endanger our children to children. For the record,
Speaker 1: for those of you screaming at us, we're not saying
Speaker 1: do this. We're not saying do this, but we're also
Speaker 1: saying that we do this. We this. This podcast is
Speaker 1: called We Knows Parenting because we don't know is ironic
Speaker 1: and we're just surviving out here with this difficult thing
Speaker 1: of keeping children alive. A coronavirus economy. I did. I
Speaker 1: had a good talk with our friend Um, one of
Speaker 1: Brand's friends parents on Sunday, and she is a pathologist,
Speaker 1: and I had a good talk with her about coronavirus
Speaker 1: because I what I was saying last week and what
Speaker 1: I continue to believe, as I said, we'll probably get it.
Speaker 1: We don't have a lot of con role. I think
Speaker 1: I have it right now. And now coronavirus has hit
Speaker 1: one town over from us. They've shut all the schools down,
Speaker 1: have they which was not which is cause debatably causes
Speaker 1: more problems than it solved. When you do that, we're
Speaker 1: not a single child. Well, I'll say this coronavirus, as
Speaker 1: many other people have pointed out, is really highlighting the
Speaker 1: weaknesses in our system of capitalism because people don't I don't,
Speaker 1: I don't want to know. I am going to say this, Peter, Okay, people,
Speaker 1: when we shut down schools, then people can't get leave
Speaker 1: from their jobs. They need to do that. People are
Speaker 1: going into work sick because they don't get paid sickly.
Speaker 1: People don't have health insurance, they can't hospital like shutting
Speaker 1: down shutting down schools, the kids aren't gonna the kids
Speaker 1: are still going to go out, then they go to
Speaker 1: the mall. You're spraying, you're mixing up people's travel daily
Speaker 1: travel routines, and you're spreading the disease further, and you're
Speaker 1: mixing people What you do need to shut the school down, yes,
Speaker 1: but it's not when there are no children who have
Speaker 1: gotten the disease. Well, it's hard to say because this
Speaker 1: disease is as a special form of chaos because kids
Speaker 1: don't often present many symptoms with coronavirus. But anyway, I
Speaker 1: was talking to our friend the pathologist, who is very smart,
Speaker 1: and she was saying, like the uh, she agreed with
Speaker 1: me that we probably will get it and will be
Speaker 1: fine because we're not elderly, we're not immunocompromise. But she's
Speaker 1: concerned about is elderly people. And like she said that
Speaker 1: the United States, the US government, because of Trump, really
Speaker 1: fumbled this. They should have been working on this months
Speaker 1: ago when everyone was already talking about it in the news,
Speaker 1: and they have. He's still downplaying it. They've massively sucked
Speaker 1: up the response. And but the good thing is that
Speaker 1: the state of New York is doing a lot better
Speaker 1: than a lot places. So in a way. I think
Speaker 1: it's like a blessing that it's hitting here in Westchester
Speaker 1: where there's a lot of wealth, because that people will
Speaker 1: be able to hopefully respond in a somewhat coordinated way,
Speaker 1: even though there is currently no clear plan like as
Speaker 1: to what's happened. Well, they don't have enough information, you know,
Speaker 1: there's not enough there's not enough data to make these
Speaker 1: definitive choices. Well, there's no tests available. People can't get tested.
Speaker 1: Can we talk about the real big news of the week.
Speaker 1: What's the real big news of the week is mommy
Speaker 1: got fired forever? Oh yeah, Bryan fired me from being
Speaker 1: his mom. So this is last night. I was like,
Speaker 1: this is okay, Bryan. You started letting Brin play with
Speaker 1: a Nintendo switch, which is actually didn't not really How
Speaker 1: did he learn how to use it? Peter? While he
Speaker 1: did it when I was not in the room. He
Speaker 1: now tell us how to turn it on and he
Speaker 1: starts playing, and I'm like, what are you doing? He
Speaker 1: learned it from you? So Sunday you were gone all
Speaker 1: day and he had a play date and he was
Speaker 1: using the switch, and then I was tired, so I
Speaker 1: let him use a switch longer than I probably should have,
Speaker 1: which makes him go a little crazy. And then at
Speaker 1: a certain point I was trying to get him to
Speaker 1: eat dinner, and I think by this point he was
Speaker 1: maybe watching TV, but I turned the TV off and
Speaker 1: he was like, he was like, you can't do that.
Speaker 1: He's he's just always doing a lot of negotiating, which
Speaker 1: I feel like we need to work on. I need
Speaker 1: to like just lay down the law like crazy for
Speaker 1: two weeks or something to just like break him because
Speaker 1: he's just such a tyrant. And so he was like,
Speaker 1: he was like, you never let me do anything, and
Speaker 1: he was, yeah, that he said that. And then I
Speaker 1: posted this video to Instagram where he was like, he
Speaker 1: was like, you're fired from this home tomorrow. You're gonna
Speaker 1: get dressed, but on your shoes. You're gonna walk out
Speaker 1: the door and your jacket and he's and he posted
Speaker 1: this is another thing that he's like, we talked about
Speaker 1: this last week, I think, where he's like posting signs
Speaker 1: up with rules and he like, so he made a rule.
Speaker 1: He made a sign from our bedroom door that says
Speaker 1: mommy is fired forever. Mommy's fired forever. And then he
Speaker 1: made a sign for the front door to our apartment
Speaker 1: that just says go away, just anticipating you leaving and
Speaker 1: trying to come back. It's unclear if that one is
Speaker 1: exclusively directed at me, but I was walking in the
Speaker 1: door today and our neighbor next door, who has a
Speaker 1: two year old, saw it and she was laughing and
Speaker 1: I was like, well, I was like, this is the
Speaker 1: current form of tantrauming in our household. Here's a peek
Speaker 1: ahead at five and she was like, that seems like
Speaker 1: pretty preferable to other forms of tantrum. I was like, yeah,
Speaker 1: very articulate. I came home after not seeing that for
Speaker 1: two days, and that's the sign I saw on the door.
Speaker 1: They were asking about you, especially when I had to
Speaker 1: get up with them this morning, which was hard because
Speaker 1: they're not used to me taking them to school. They're
Speaker 1: used to you. But it also is daylight saving time
Speaker 1: and they were very tired, and Britain was like laying
Speaker 1: on the ground in the kitchen like he was like,
Speaker 1: I don't want to go to school, it's boring. I
Speaker 1: hate it. And I had to trick him out the door,
Speaker 1: but I was like, we have to drop Maven off
Speaker 1: and then I let them just alloying that I have
Speaker 1: to get him out the door. I had to be somewhere. No,
Speaker 1: I did this. I had to do the same thing
Speaker 1: last week. Um. It was very stressful because the clock
Speaker 1: was ticking and I had to literally do the most
Speaker 1: time sensitive thing possible, which is go on a live
Speaker 1: radio show in the city, which like, so I was
Speaker 1: like and as I was looking at the clock this
Speaker 1: morning in front of Mayvin, and I was like fuck,
Speaker 1: and Maven goes whose fuck? Um? Who indeed? Um? And yeah,
Speaker 1: so he was a nightmare and then I had to
Speaker 1: So normally what we do is we drop him off
Speaker 1: at school and just opened the door and he walks
Speaker 1: into school by himself. So today he wouldn't get out
Speaker 1: of the car. The woman who runs before care thinks
Speaker 1: that he walks by himself every day. Yeah, so I
Speaker 1: had to pick him up, like crying and screaming and
Speaker 1: carry him into school. And I was carrying him in
Speaker 1: and he had his hood up so she could only
Speaker 1: see the back of his head and then me and
Speaker 1: she's she's like, who's this woman? Never seen me before?
Speaker 1: And she was like, oh, is it his first day?
Speaker 1: And then I was like no, I was like, he's
Speaker 1: just not used to me taking him and blah blah,
Speaker 1: and she was like and then she was like, oh,
Speaker 1: this is Brin And it was a very stopping mess
Speaker 1: of a human. It was very embarrassing. Um. But luckily
Speaker 1: he sat down and then as he was sitting there
Speaker 1: crying like the most pitiful face, all these little girls
Speaker 1: from the before school Boys and Girls Club came over
Speaker 1: and just like like looked at him like they were
Speaker 1: like just like all these little girls were so invested
Speaker 1: in I think it was carring, but it was also
Speaker 1: just like kind of like rubber necking, like they were like,
Speaker 1: what is happening over here? Um? Yeah, so it was.
Speaker 1: It was a tough morning, but we survived. Um. And
Speaker 1: how how was pick up? Pickup was fine? He okay,
Speaker 1: So picking up. I got in the car with Maven
Speaker 1: and then we're listening to the radio and the song
Speaker 1: material Girl by Madonna comes on, and you know, it's like, dad, dad, Dad.
Speaker 1: It's like I think it's like a kind of music
Speaker 1: that you don't hear on the radio anymore, Like it's
Speaker 1: like more electronic or something. And maybe Maven started laughing
Speaker 1: hysterically and she was like, this is so funny. I
Speaker 1: was kind of wondering because you've been playing weird al
Speaker 1: for them, and I was kind of wondering if it
Speaker 1: was like felt weird alish because she just assumed it
Speaker 1: was like a joke. And then and she's laughing so hard,
Speaker 1: and we got to pick up Brand and she was like,
Speaker 1: can we put that back on? When Brand gets in
Speaker 1: the cars? Hious? So then she made me put it
Speaker 1: on for him. She was like, you're going to love this.
Speaker 1: She was like, this is It's so funny, Brand, It's
Speaker 1: so funny. And then I put it on and he
Speaker 1: like the music starts up and he's like, it's not
Speaker 1: that funny, and she was like, but wait till the
Speaker 1: voice and then it's just like the regular material girl
Speaker 1: lyrics and he's like this isn't funny either, and like
Speaker 1: stupid little sister. Yeah, I was like Brand, different things
Speaker 1: were funny to Different. I think it really was. There
Speaker 1: was he they been listening to. They were listening to
Speaker 1: a lot of Queen so they really liked Another One
Speaker 1: Bites the Dust, and so I played him another One
Speaker 1: Rides the Bus and he didn't laugh and I was like, Okay,
Speaker 1: it's earlier for this. And then the next time you
Speaker 1: heard another One Bites the Dust. He then he goes,
Speaker 1: maybe there's a really funny song called another One Rides
Speaker 1: the Bus Daddy who he listened to it if I
Speaker 1: played it, then he laughed hysterically because he had someone
Speaker 1: to explain it to. And then like a poke a
Speaker 1: Midley came on and poke a music blew their minds
Speaker 1: and they laughed hysterically. And I think she was just
Speaker 1: remembering her big brother laughing and mean like, oh, this
Speaker 1: is funny music. But I think there was a certain
Speaker 1: rhythm to it that probably reminded her of like weird
Speaker 1: awl songs, and she was just like, this is a
Speaker 1: funny song from the same decade. Yeah, um, that's super funny. Um,
Speaker 1: so you're you're fired forever. But you missed my favorite part.
Speaker 1: You asked him, well, who's gonna make you breakfast? And
Speaker 1: he said, Daddy, really defiant, and you go, well, who's
Speaker 1: gonna cuddle? You goes, we can call you to cuddle,
Speaker 1: we can call you to come. A whole like angry
Speaker 1: side breaks down as you see the thought of him
Speaker 1: not having you to cuddle. It's funny because I didn't
Speaker 1: even think he's particularly liked cuddling with me. I mean
Speaker 1: sometimes be like hem, I like to maybe in the background,
Speaker 1: she goes, who's going to cuddle you go daddy? Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's my girl. Yeah, she's like, I just cuddle daddy
Speaker 1: yesterday a time whenever I went. She likes to cuddle
Speaker 1: me though. She was just being kind of difficult. She's
Speaker 1: been throwing She's in through a lot of little tantrums,
Speaker 1: like unfortunately she runs out of steam kind of quickly
Speaker 1: because we just don't have the patience for her. Like
Speaker 1: were just literally throw it in a tub tonight. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that actually went better than I thought it would. She's
Speaker 1: had like gave up three of those in the last
Speaker 1: twenty four hours, like just like defiant, Like I had
Speaker 1: to carry in from the car after picking them up,
Speaker 1: and like, and she started screaming, and she's just like
Speaker 1: and there's two old ladies outside who are like kind
Speaker 1: of laughing, and then she kind of got more shy
Speaker 1: when she saw them, so she just screamed more quietly.
Speaker 1: She's getting old enough to be a shame. Shame is
Speaker 1: good people, Yeah, Um, I mean, in healthy doses, we
Speaker 1: love shame. There's a reason shame exists. Shame keep acting
Speaker 1: like an idiot boy. Yeah, kids learning a little shame,
Speaker 1: just a little, yeah, just a little. I mean sometimes
Speaker 1: they need a lot. We don't shame them, but we're
Speaker 1: happy that they're ashamed. I don't know what I'm talking about.
Speaker 1: You're tired. I've been away from you. Comial most exhausting
Speaker 1: thing ever, it's not having me to cuddle. It is
Speaker 1: I've been so exhauced, like no one to cuddle. So
Speaker 1: shed commercial. We're supposed to only say the code name,
Speaker 1: so I can't say what it is. It's not that exciting.
Speaker 1: But I spent all day with a six year old
Speaker 1: and at one point is a six year old who
Speaker 1: lives like in Tribeca. It's like the capital of Story
Speaker 1: Pirates fans is like Tripeca, and so I was like, oh,
Speaker 1: this kid will know me, and I have to be
Speaker 1: his dad in the spot, so I need him to
Speaker 1: be comfortable with me. So at one point my worst nightmare,
Speaker 1: I was like, hey, buddy, I bet you've heard of
Speaker 1: story parrots, huh, like in front of his mom and everybody,
Speaker 1: and he's like nope. And I was like, oh, well,
Speaker 1: you know what, never mind, that's talk the next two hours.
Speaker 1: That's so funny. I'll like, I have things with the
Speaker 1: Reductress where sometimes the most random people will be like
Speaker 1: be sharing it or like no, like be really into it,
Speaker 1: friends of friends or whatever, and then other people are like,
Speaker 1: so many people are just like, what what is that that?
Speaker 1: I pulled the Reductress card twice today, no hits, including
Speaker 1: including somebody that you went to college with did my
Speaker 1: makeup today? And she had not heard of it, but
Speaker 1: she was very excited to hear about it. She's about
Speaker 1: to have a baby, so she was much more excited
Speaker 1: about your book. There's no manual now available on Amazon
Speaker 1: or wherever you get your wherever you get your books.
Speaker 1: Um so, But by the end of the day, this
Speaker 1: kid and I were We're besties. Yeah, it's the first
Speaker 1: I had unrelated The last thing I need to say
Speaker 1: about this kid. This kid was on set for seven
Speaker 1: hours or something and he was six years old and
Speaker 1: he had to do all these takes and he was
Speaker 1: tired everything, but he never complained and he did it
Speaker 1: over and over and over. And I was like, people
Speaker 1: have asked me to bring Brian to auditions for certain things.
Speaker 1: I was like, no, wait, Brian wouldn't have lasted twenty
Speaker 1: minutes being told what to do on a set. He's
Speaker 1: not cut out. No, no, he says he wants to
Speaker 1: do it. If he ever does maybe maybe, But I'm
Speaker 1: not taking him into that situation. What were you going
Speaker 1: to say? I was gonna say, so I had to
Speaker 1: go into Serious today to do Jenny McCarthy's show and
Speaker 1: it live to say it was live and what like.
Speaker 1: So what's funny is like I've I've done plenty of
Speaker 1: podcasts and I've done I think a serious show before.
Speaker 1: But they usually when you're in Serious x M, not
Speaker 1: a serious show, yeah, serious EXIM radio show. Yeah. Do
Speaker 1: they call it serious x M anymore? I think it's
Speaker 1: just serious anyway, they XM Radio and Serious Merge, I know.
Speaker 1: I don't know um anyway, they when you go in
Speaker 1: and do a podcast, usually you talk to the people
Speaker 1: beforehand and it's sort of like, hey, like what's up. So,
Speaker 1: but this they like ushered me and they're like hey,
Speaker 1: what's going on. They're like, okay, you can sit here,
Speaker 1: and then they're like literally rolling, and I was like,
Speaker 1: oh wow, so well, actually what happened was like I
Speaker 1: put the headphones on. She's introing me, and I'm like
Speaker 1: I can't hear her talking at all. She's on video
Speaker 1: monitor from l A and so I'm like mouthing to
Speaker 1: the people in the room like I can't hear anything
Speaker 1: as she's entroing me, and so they're like what and
Speaker 1: they're like, we're like fiddling with it, and then they
Speaker 1: give you different prayer headphones. Those didn't work, so then
Speaker 1: they did had to give me the sound engineer's headphones,
Speaker 1: and it was like, I like I just got it
Speaker 1: on in time to start the interview, and I was
Speaker 1: so proud of like how like I like I sometimes
Speaker 1: I have to remind myself, like when I started doing
Speaker 1: improv like sixteen years ago, how incredibly shy and incompetent
Speaker 1: I was at like having a stage presence. And I
Speaker 1: was just like I can't believe I just like handled that,
Speaker 1: Like we got that done. I was live on the air.
Speaker 1: We figured it out, and I wasn't. It didn't at
Speaker 1: this point, it didn't even phase me today, where I
Speaker 1: was just like doing the interview was fine, and I
Speaker 1: was like so proud that I was able to like
Speaker 1: speak up to them like silently and like get it
Speaker 1: resolved and not freeze up and be like, what is happening?

Speaker 1: very you got what you needed. I was proud of myself.

Speaker 1: This is like our version of like reaction videos. But
Speaker 1: it's just reaction audience. Sometimes cute baby photos are like
Speaker 1: a xan X. You know, not that I don't think
Speaker 1: I've ever taken a Zannex, but it's like just so calming,
Speaker 1: Like I don't think that I ever have. I think
Speaker 1: one time my friend was like, here, just take half
Speaker 1: of azan X, and I took it and felt nothing.
Speaker 1: So you have had Zanex, Yeah, but I don't. I
Speaker 1: can't speak through the effects of But it didn't count.
Speaker 1: It didn't count because it was illegal, so I only
Speaker 1: count legal things. If you want us to aggle your baby,
Speaker 1: that's the wrong way to say that. M hmm. I
Speaker 1: think augle is correct. You can augle something without it
Speaker 1: being creepy. Yeah, I mean if you want us to
Speaker 1: gasp at the cuteness does your baby, we will do that.
Speaker 1: The next time we get at least four pictures of babies,
Speaker 1: we'll do this now are very best segment we've ever
Speaker 1: done about and this has been oh that's a good baby.
Speaker 1: That was not the title we intro to. It is
Speaker 1: now and now it's time for who knows what they're saying.
Speaker 1: This is where we unpack a quote from our Sweet Babes. Okay,
Speaker 1: I have a couple of quick ones. I would never
Speaker 1: say sweet babes again. I'm sorry. Yeah, you're just the
Speaker 1: baby fever has gotten to your brain. For the record,
Speaker 1: I'm exhausted, Yeah you are. Um yeah, daylight savings baby,
Speaker 1: It's it's funny. I think that we both had to
Speaker 1: get up extra early on a day that we also
Speaker 1: lost a lot of I have not got a full
Speaker 1: night sleep in two weeks for no reason anyway. Um, okay,
Speaker 1: so here's some funny things our kids have been saying.
Speaker 1: So yesterday Bryn kept saying, uh, he was talking to
Speaker 1: me in his usual like commands, and he was like,
Speaker 1: don't get me wrong on it, don't get me wrong
Speaker 1: on it. And he kept saying that, like over and
Speaker 1: over again. He's like, don't get me wrong on it. Um,
Speaker 1: out of context, you know, like he was like he
Speaker 1: would just be talking about some random thing, probably like
Speaker 1: explaining why he wasn't gonna eat his dinner or something,
Speaker 1: and he's like, don't get me wrong on it. Uh,
Speaker 1: And I didn't. I didn't. I don't think he knew
Speaker 1: what he was saying, like, I don't think you need
Speaker 1: to get me wrong on it. Uh. And then he
Speaker 1: this chairways a thousand pounds and then he was refusing
Speaker 1: to eat the lasagna I made um and mostly just
Speaker 1: on site alone because we haven't cooked the lasagna in
Speaker 1: a long time. So he was just like, what is
Speaker 1: this And then he finally took a bite and he
Speaker 1: was like, oh, this is good, and he said he
Speaker 1: didn't tell me it was good. Then he goes, I'm
Speaker 1: getting this dinner good. I'm getting this dinner good. I
Speaker 1: forgot A side story I forgot to say is that
Speaker 1: his friend came over yesterday morning and he brought to
Speaker 1: wrestling figurines with him um, and so Brin after he left,
Speaker 1: was talking to Maybn and he was like, I think
Speaker 1: Mayven took off her shirt because it was wet or something,
Speaker 1: and Brin was like, wrestlers where just their underwear and boots.
Speaker 1: We should be wrestlers, So then maybe and Burn both
Speaker 1: stripped down to their underwear and put on snow boots
Speaker 1: and they were like fake wrestling, and it was the
Speaker 1: funniest thing. I don't know if I should put on
Speaker 1: Instagram because it's not inappropriate to me, but I feel
Speaker 1: like people feel like it's inappropriate when I post nearly
Speaker 1: nude things of my children but they're in their underwear.
Speaker 1: I don't think it's appropriate. I think society finds it appropriate,
Speaker 1: and as a woman, will be aggressively blamed for it.
Speaker 1: You realize you just said I don't think it's appropriate,
Speaker 1: but society thinks. Okay, I don't think it's inappropriate to
Speaker 1: see children, even fully nude. It shouldn't be weird for us.
Speaker 1: That's my philosophy. Were human beings don't want to get flagged,
Speaker 1: so I don't want to get flagged, and I don't
Speaker 1: want to like actively attract pedophiles to my account, so
Speaker 1: we're not going to post it. This episode is all
Speaker 1: about us describing things you'll never see. Yes, sorry, sorry, ladies. Um.
Speaker 1: The other funny thing Prince said this week, which I
Speaker 1: think we've kind of covered in the past, is our
Speaker 1: kids have watched a lot of Pepper Pig and have
Speaker 1: some like British mannerisms. Brin was looking out the window
Speaker 1: and he was like, I wish we had a garden.
Speaker 1: It was like, he was like, at the new house,
Speaker 1: we'll have a garden. And I was like, because I
Speaker 1: knew from watching Pepper Pig, he thinks he's saying a yard.
Speaker 1: I was like, yeah, we will. But I was like,
Speaker 1: now I feel like we have to start referring to
Speaker 1: our future yard as a garden because it's so tiny
Speaker 1: it basically is a garden. Um. I like that you
Speaker 1: said Pepper Pig, Pepper Peek. I like pepper Peek. My
Speaker 1: I'm out of the British Pig. I watched my favorite
Speaker 1: big Pepper Peak. Don't get me wrong on it. Don't
Speaker 1: get me wrong on that. I like a pepper Pig,
Speaker 1: but I like a Pepper Peak just my babes. I
Speaker 1: love sad pepper Peak. I love that pepper beak. But
Speaker 1: do the impression you do of a Southern child that
Speaker 1: you came across when you were on a story part. Okay,
Speaker 1: so you don't need to set it up. Just sit
Speaker 1: what's nick Nels? My comedy partner Magnan from Story Prize podcast.
Speaker 1: We're in a tour van for weeks and across the country.
Speaker 1: We're in Kentucky in a tiny bookshop and we're backstage
Speaker 1: and the show starts with like the scary music and thunder,
Speaker 1: and right before Megan came out on stage or she
Speaker 1: opens the curtain and she's got like a hood over
Speaker 1: face and she kneels down on the ground and before
Speaker 1: she lifted her hood up, she just heard this tidy,
Speaker 1: little Kentucky boy with a perfect lateral list just go scary.
Speaker 1: And that was the intro, Like that kid's amazing, but
Speaker 1: that's scary. But then later at the very end, he
Speaker 1: was so excited because we were there selling a book
Speaker 1: and then he picked up and ran over to his
Speaker 1: brother and got this book because I can take your shoot,
Speaker 1: Greg shock and type hue perfect. That reminds me of
Speaker 1: when I went to Vasser. I looked at Vasser, didn't
Speaker 1: go uh when I was looking in schools and I
Speaker 1: was really grumpy was the end of this week, and
Speaker 1: I like through a weird like tantrum when I told
Speaker 1: my mom I knew I wanted to go and it's
Speaker 1: not here, and I'm not going on the tour. She's like,
Speaker 1: all right, I'm going on the tour. And so I
Speaker 1: sat down on this bench really angry, like not going
Speaker 1: on the tour. I was sitting there. I was like,
Speaker 1: nothing will get me out of this mood. And then
Speaker 1: this guy comes out of the theater building and someone
Speaker 1: walks up to him and goes, oh, hey, do you
Speaker 1: know where we're meeting later and he goes, um, Sharon said,
Speaker 1: we meet you down by the shop. He goes, okay, thanks,
Speaker 1: it walked away. It was like, it's the only thing
Speaker 1: I will hear that man say. And there couldn't have
Speaker 1: been more ss Karen said she meet. Well, now we're
Speaker 1: just veering into like a bless I don't mean to
Speaker 1: mock a speech talking about kid um, but it was
Speaker 1: it cheered me up. And he was such a jolly
Speaker 1: man and he was smiling and I love him, okay,
Speaker 1: and he just rocks from the world, a grown man,
Speaker 1: just so happy, a little Kentucky boy. He gets a
Speaker 1: thumbs up. Oh that's a good baby, let's sharey okay,
Speaker 1: shrike shocking, just shoe? Oh is that all he knows?

Speaker 1: lack of sleep and all this all this coronavirus I
Speaker 1: got in my body. It's just percolating inside of us
