WEBVTT - Mommy’s Fired Forever 0:00:12.920 --> 0:00:17.080 Well, well, wow, look who it is. We know it's parents, 0:00:17.120 --> 0:00:22.960 and I'm Peter McNerney that and you're you the fine listener, fine, 0:00:23.880 --> 0:00:27.640 your finest of listening. You are fine. We have great 0:00:27.720 --> 0:00:30.280 we have great listeners. We do. We have the finest, 0:00:30.320 --> 0:00:37.480 nothing but the best. It's true. No jerks, no jerks. Yeah, 0:00:37.960 --> 0:00:41.400 people get upset with us very rarely. It's usually usually 0:00:41.560 --> 0:00:46.040 the car seats, car seats. Oh yeah, it's usually like 0:00:46.080 --> 0:00:49.600 a valid point that. It's usually like, hey, you're using 0:00:49.640 --> 0:00:52.480 your car seats wrong. You're recommending car seats for kids 0:00:52.479 --> 0:00:54.800 that are too young to use those car seats. I'm 0:00:54.800 --> 0:00:58.920 not gonna say they're wrong. I mean, just to clarify, 0:00:59.360 --> 0:01:02.120 this is the in reference to travel car seats, which 0:01:02.120 --> 0:01:04.600 are not a regular car seats. Well, they also got 0:01:04.720 --> 0:01:07.800 criticized for putting our kids in car seats with their 0:01:07.800 --> 0:01:12.240 winter jackets on. Yeah, I know that's the thing. And 0:01:12.319 --> 0:01:17.880 I also say, no, I think we are For the record, 0:01:17.959 --> 0:01:21.080 you're right. For the record, you're right, we are wrong. 0:01:21.280 --> 0:01:25.520 It is correct. But I also think sometimes we have 0:01:25.600 --> 0:01:27.640 to let parents live their lives and it's cold that 0:01:27.720 --> 0:01:30.760 side and kids need coats on up in Minnesota, I'm like, 0:01:30.880 --> 0:01:35.560 what parents are getting out in like thirty below. My 0:01:35.840 --> 0:01:38.440 one of my midwives, who is one of the most 0:01:38.880 --> 0:01:43.880 sort of strict, seeming like direct midwives, like the she's 0:01:43.920 --> 0:01:45.760 like the older one who was just like when I 0:01:45.800 --> 0:01:47.560 told her I thought it might be pregnant with twins, 0:01:47.640 --> 0:01:50.640 she was like, there's no twins in there. I hate 0:01:50.680 --> 0:01:52.880 to tell you this. Like she was just like, listen up, idiot, 0:01:52.920 --> 0:01:56.480 I've seen twins that ain't twins. She's like very abrupt. 0:01:56.600 --> 0:01:59.280 So I was talking to her um years ago when 0:01:59.320 --> 0:02:01.200 I was post parton or something, and she was like, 0:02:02.280 --> 0:02:05.040 my daughters all stressed out about trying not to put 0:02:05.080 --> 0:02:08.160 the kids in car seats with their jackets on and 0:02:08.200 --> 0:02:11.040 all this stuff, and I said, just tighten the straps. 0:02:12.080 --> 0:02:14.360 And I was like, thank god, this woman is giving 0:02:14.360 --> 0:02:19.200 me permission to endanger our children to children. For the record, 0:02:19.280 --> 0:02:21.600 for those of you screaming at us, we're not saying 0:02:21.840 --> 0:02:24.200 do this. We're not saying do this, but we're also 0:02:24.280 --> 0:02:27.760 saying that we do this. We this. This podcast is 0:02:27.800 --> 0:02:32.000 called We Knows Parenting because we don't know is ironic 0:02:32.400 --> 0:02:36.440 and we're just surviving out here with this difficult thing 0:02:36.520 --> 0:02:42.960 of keeping children alive. A coronavirus economy. I did. I 0:02:43.000 --> 0:02:45.440 had a good talk with our friend Um, one of 0:02:45.520 --> 0:02:50.280 Brand's friends parents on Sunday, and she is a pathologist, 0:02:50.800 --> 0:02:52.800 and I had a good talk with her about coronavirus 0:02:52.880 --> 0:02:55.959 because I what I was saying last week and what 0:02:56.080 --> 0:02:58.840 I continue to believe, as I said, we'll probably get it. 0:02:58.919 --> 0:03:00.680 We don't have a lot of con role. I think 0:03:00.720 --> 0:03:04.440 I have it right now. And now coronavirus has hit 0:03:05.080 --> 0:03:07.720 one town over from us. They've shut all the schools down, 0:03:08.160 --> 0:03:14.520 have they which was not which is cause debatably causes 0:03:14.560 --> 0:03:17.000 more problems than it solved. When you do that, we're 0:03:17.000 --> 0:03:21.079 not a single child. Well, I'll say this coronavirus, as 0:03:21.160 --> 0:03:24.040 many other people have pointed out, is really highlighting the 0:03:24.080 --> 0:03:29.120 weaknesses in our system of capitalism because people don't I don't, 0:03:29.240 --> 0:03:34.440 I don't want to know. I am going to say this, Peter, Okay, people, 0:03:36.560 --> 0:03:39.240 when we shut down schools, then people can't get leave 0:03:39.280 --> 0:03:41.640 from their jobs. They need to do that. People are 0:03:41.640 --> 0:03:44.080 going into work sick because they don't get paid sickly. 0:03:44.480 --> 0:03:48.760 People don't have health insurance, they can't hospital like shutting 0:03:48.760 --> 0:03:52.200 down shutting down schools, the kids aren't gonna the kids 0:03:52.240 --> 0:03:53.520 are still going to go out, then they go to 0:03:53.560 --> 0:03:57.800 the mall. You're spraying, you're mixing up people's travel daily 0:03:57.800 --> 0:04:01.560 travel routines, and you're spreading the disease further, and you're 0:04:01.600 --> 0:04:05.440 mixing people What you do need to shut the school down, yes, 0:04:05.480 --> 0:04:08.040 but it's not when there are no children who have 0:04:08.160 --> 0:04:11.960 gotten the disease. Well, it's hard to say because this 0:04:12.040 --> 0:04:16.080 disease is as a special form of chaos because kids 0:04:16.120 --> 0:04:20.440 don't often present many symptoms with coronavirus. But anyway, I 0:04:20.480 --> 0:04:25.040 was talking to our friend the pathologist, who is very smart, 0:04:25.120 --> 0:04:29.200 and she was saying, like the uh, she agreed with 0:04:29.240 --> 0:04:31.160 me that we probably will get it and will be 0:04:31.200 --> 0:04:35.800 fine because we're not elderly, we're not immunocompromise. But she's 0:04:35.839 --> 0:04:39.280 concerned about is elderly people. And like she said that 0:04:39.800 --> 0:04:43.520 the United States, the US government, because of Trump, really 0:04:43.600 --> 0:04:45.560 fumbled this. They should have been working on this months 0:04:45.600 --> 0:04:48.240 ago when everyone was already talking about it in the news, 0:04:48.279 --> 0:04:54.080 and they have. He's still downplaying it. They've massively sucked 0:04:54.120 --> 0:04:56.480 up the response. And but the good thing is that 0:04:56.560 --> 0:04:59.440 the state of New York is doing a lot better 0:04:59.600 --> 0:05:01.520 than a lot places. So in a way. I think 0:05:01.520 --> 0:05:05.160 it's like a blessing that it's hitting here in Westchester 0:05:05.279 --> 0:05:08.839 where there's a lot of wealth, because that people will 0:05:08.880 --> 0:05:12.360 be able to hopefully respond in a somewhat coordinated way, 0:05:12.400 --> 0:05:17.680 even though there is currently no clear plan like as 0:05:17.720 --> 0:05:21.960 to what's happened. Well, they don't have enough information, you know, 0:05:22.120 --> 0:05:24.839 there's not enough there's not enough data to make these 0:05:24.880 --> 0:05:30.320 definitive choices. Well, there's no tests available. People can't get tested. 0:05:32.040 --> 0:05:34.200 Can we talk about the real big news of the week. 0:05:34.640 --> 0:05:38.839 What's the real big news of the week is mommy 0:05:38.880 --> 0:05:42.920 got fired forever? Oh yeah, Bryan fired me from being 0:05:42.960 --> 0:05:46.200 his mom. So this is last night. I was like, 0:05:48.040 --> 0:05:52.599 this is okay, Bryan. You started letting Brin play with 0:05:52.600 --> 0:05:58.040 a Nintendo switch, which is actually didn't not really How 0:05:58.040 --> 0:06:00.279 did he learn how to use it? Peter? While he 0:06:00.320 --> 0:06:02.680 did it when I was not in the room. He 0:06:02.760 --> 0:06:04.080 now tell us how to turn it on and he 0:06:04.120 --> 0:06:06.359 starts playing, and I'm like, what are you doing? He 0:06:06.600 --> 0:06:15.640 learned it from you? So Sunday you were gone all 0:06:15.720 --> 0:06:19.039 day and he had a play date and he was 0:06:19.160 --> 0:06:21.719 using the switch, and then I was tired, so I 0:06:21.760 --> 0:06:23.920 let him use a switch longer than I probably should have, 0:06:24.360 --> 0:06:27.400 which makes him go a little crazy. And then at 0:06:27.400 --> 0:06:29.640 a certain point I was trying to get him to 0:06:29.640 --> 0:06:31.640 eat dinner, and I think by this point he was 0:06:31.680 --> 0:06:34.240 maybe watching TV, but I turned the TV off and 0:06:34.320 --> 0:06:39.720 he was like, he was like, you can't do that. 0:06:40.279 --> 0:06:42.800 He's he's just always doing a lot of negotiating, which 0:06:42.800 --> 0:06:44.160 I feel like we need to work on. I need 0:06:44.200 --> 0:06:46.760 to like just lay down the law like crazy for 0:06:46.839 --> 0:06:50.640 two weeks or something to just like break him because 0:06:50.680 --> 0:06:54.920 he's just such a tyrant. And so he was like, 0:06:56.240 --> 0:06:59.480 he was like, you never let me do anything, and 0:06:59.600 --> 0:07:03.360 he was, yeah, that he said that. And then I 0:07:04.000 --> 0:07:07.479 posted this video to Instagram where he was like, he 0:07:07.600 --> 0:07:11.800 was like, you're fired from this home tomorrow. You're gonna 0:07:11.840 --> 0:07:15.080 get dressed, but on your shoes. You're gonna walk out 0:07:15.120 --> 0:07:20.280 the door and your jacket and he's and he posted 0:07:20.520 --> 0:07:22.840 this is another thing that he's like, we talked about 0:07:22.840 --> 0:07:25.240 this last week, I think, where he's like posting signs 0:07:25.360 --> 0:07:28.640 up with rules and he like, so he made a rule. 0:07:28.840 --> 0:07:31.160 He made a sign from our bedroom door that says 0:07:31.200 --> 0:07:35.720 mommy is fired forever. Mommy's fired forever. And then he 0:07:35.800 --> 0:07:37.920 made a sign for the front door to our apartment 0:07:37.960 --> 0:07:41.280 that just says go away, just anticipating you leaving and 0:07:41.280 --> 0:07:43.560 trying to come back. It's unclear if that one is 0:07:43.600 --> 0:07:45.720 exclusively directed at me, but I was walking in the 0:07:45.760 --> 0:07:48.160 door today and our neighbor next door, who has a 0:07:48.200 --> 0:07:50.880 two year old, saw it and she was laughing and 0:07:50.920 --> 0:07:52.520 I was like, well, I was like, this is the 0:07:52.520 --> 0:07:56.440 current form of tantrauming in our household. Here's a peek 0:07:56.480 --> 0:07:58.720 ahead at five and she was like, that seems like 0:07:58.800 --> 0:08:03.080 pretty preferable to other forms of tantrum. I was like, yeah, 0:08:03.640 --> 0:08:07.840 very articulate. I came home after not seeing that for 0:08:07.840 --> 0:08:09.760 two days, and that's the sign I saw on the door. 0:08:12.560 --> 0:08:15.080 They were asking about you, especially when I had to 0:08:15.080 --> 0:08:18.040 get up with them this morning, which was hard because 0:08:18.200 --> 0:08:20.080 they're not used to me taking them to school. They're 0:08:20.120 --> 0:08:22.160 used to you. But it also is daylight saving time 0:08:22.320 --> 0:08:24.920 and they were very tired, and Britain was like laying 0:08:24.920 --> 0:08:27.760 on the ground in the kitchen like he was like, 0:08:27.800 --> 0:08:31.240 I don't want to go to school, it's boring. I 0:08:31.320 --> 0:08:33.320 hate it. And I had to trick him out the door, 0:08:33.559 --> 0:08:35.400 but I was like, we have to drop Maven off 0:08:35.559 --> 0:08:41.079 and then I let them just alloying that I have 0:08:41.280 --> 0:08:43.400 to get him out the door. I had to be somewhere. No, 0:08:43.559 --> 0:08:45.200 I did this. I had to do the same thing 0:08:45.280 --> 0:08:48.800 last week. Um. It was very stressful because the clock 0:08:48.920 --> 0:08:53.920 was ticking and I had to literally do the most 0:08:53.960 --> 0:08:55.959 time sensitive thing possible, which is go on a live 0:08:56.080 --> 0:08:58.679 radio show in the city, which like, so I was 0:08:58.760 --> 0:09:02.160 like and as I was looking at the clock this 0:09:02.200 --> 0:09:04.240 morning in front of Mayvin, and I was like fuck, 0:09:04.720 --> 0:09:16.080 and Maven goes whose fuck? Um? Who indeed? Um? And yeah, 0:09:16.160 --> 0:09:18.040 so he was a nightmare and then I had to 0:09:18.120 --> 0:09:21.720 So normally what we do is we drop him off 0:09:21.720 --> 0:09:23.680 at school and just opened the door and he walks 0:09:23.720 --> 0:09:26.120 into school by himself. So today he wouldn't get out 0:09:26.120 --> 0:09:29.040 of the car. The woman who runs before care thinks 0:09:29.080 --> 0:09:31.720 that he walks by himself every day. Yeah, so I 0:09:31.800 --> 0:09:34.400 had to pick him up, like crying and screaming and 0:09:34.520 --> 0:09:36.440 carry him into school. And I was carrying him in 0:09:36.520 --> 0:09:38.760 and he had his hood up so she could only 0:09:38.800 --> 0:09:40.480 see the back of his head and then me and 0:09:40.520 --> 0:09:43.400 she's she's like, who's this woman? Never seen me before? 0:09:43.640 --> 0:09:47.280 And she was like, oh, is it his first day? 0:09:47.559 --> 0:09:50.000 And then I was like no, I was like, he's 0:09:50.040 --> 0:09:52.240 just not used to me taking him and blah blah, 0:09:52.280 --> 0:09:54.640 and she was like and then she was like, oh, 0:09:54.840 --> 0:09:58.559 this is Brin And it was a very stopping mess 0:09:58.640 --> 0:10:04.400 of a human. It was very embarrassing. Um. But luckily 0:10:04.679 --> 0:10:06.719 he sat down and then as he was sitting there 0:10:06.760 --> 0:10:09.840 crying like the most pitiful face, all these little girls 0:10:09.960 --> 0:10:13.400 from the before school Boys and Girls Club came over 0:10:13.640 --> 0:10:16.719 and just like like looked at him like they were 0:10:16.800 --> 0:10:19.319 like just like all these little girls were so invested 0:10:19.360 --> 0:10:24.080 in I think it was carring, but it was also 0:10:24.200 --> 0:10:27.200 just like kind of like rubber necking, like they were like, 0:10:27.240 --> 0:10:31.280 what is happening over here? Um? Yeah, so it was. 0:10:31.559 --> 0:10:34.360 It was a tough morning, but we survived. Um. And 0:10:34.559 --> 0:10:41.040 how how was pick up? Pickup was fine? He okay, 0:10:41.040 --> 0:10:43.560 So picking up. I got in the car with Maven 0:10:44.200 --> 0:10:47.440 and then we're listening to the radio and the song 0:10:47.720 --> 0:10:52.400 material Girl by Madonna comes on, and you know, it's like, dad, dad, Dad. 0:10:52.880 --> 0:10:55.200 It's like I think it's like a kind of music 0:10:55.280 --> 0:10:58.040 that you don't hear on the radio anymore, Like it's 0:10:58.080 --> 0:11:02.560 like more electronic or something. And maybe Maven started laughing 0:11:03.160 --> 0:11:07.880 hysterically and she was like, this is so funny. I 0:11:07.960 --> 0:11:10.040 was kind of wondering because you've been playing weird al 0:11:10.160 --> 0:11:11.920 for them, and I was kind of wondering if it 0:11:12.080 --> 0:11:16.760 was like felt weird alish because she just assumed it 0:11:16.840 --> 0:11:20.040 was like a joke. And then and she's laughing so hard, 0:11:20.120 --> 0:11:21.720 and we got to pick up Brand and she was like, 0:11:21.760 --> 0:11:23.840 can we put that back on? When Brand gets in 0:11:23.880 --> 0:11:26.680 the cars? Hious? So then she made me put it 0:11:26.720 --> 0:11:28.520 on for him. She was like, you're going to love this. 0:11:28.640 --> 0:11:30.760 She was like, this is It's so funny, Brand, It's 0:11:30.760 --> 0:11:33.200 so funny. And then I put it on and he 0:11:33.480 --> 0:11:35.480 like the music starts up and he's like, it's not 0:11:35.600 --> 0:11:37.400 that funny, and she was like, but wait till the 0:11:37.520 --> 0:11:40.720 voice and then it's just like the regular material girl 0:11:41.000 --> 0:11:44.200 lyrics and he's like this isn't funny either, and like 0:11:45.000 --> 0:11:48.480 stupid little sister. Yeah, I was like Brand, different things 0:11:48.480 --> 0:11:50.839 were funny to Different. I think it really was. There 0:11:50.960 --> 0:11:54.240 was he they been listening to. They were listening to 0:11:54.280 --> 0:11:57.080 a lot of Queen so they really liked Another One 0:11:57.160 --> 0:11:59.520 Bites the Dust, and so I played him another One 0:11:59.600 --> 0:12:03.199 Rides the Bus and he didn't laugh and I was like, Okay, 0:12:03.200 --> 0:12:05.199 it's earlier for this. And then the next time you 0:12:05.280 --> 0:12:07.680 heard another One Bites the Dust. He then he goes, 0:12:07.960 --> 0:12:10.480 maybe there's a really funny song called another One Rides 0:12:10.559 --> 0:12:12.959 the Bus Daddy who he listened to it if I 0:12:13.040 --> 0:12:15.480 played it, then he laughed hysterically because he had someone 0:12:15.520 --> 0:12:18.839 to explain it to. And then like a poke a 0:12:18.920 --> 0:12:23.479 Midley came on and poke a music blew their minds 0:12:23.760 --> 0:12:26.240 and they laughed hysterically. And I think she was just 0:12:26.280 --> 0:12:29.679 remembering her big brother laughing and mean like, oh, this 0:12:29.760 --> 0:12:31.800 is funny music. But I think there was a certain 0:12:31.880 --> 0:12:34.839 rhythm to it that probably reminded her of like weird 0:12:34.880 --> 0:12:36.920 awl songs, and she was just like, this is a 0:12:37.000 --> 0:12:42.960 funny song from the same decade. Yeah, um, that's super funny. Um, 0:12:43.120 --> 0:12:47.520 so you're you're fired forever. But you missed my favorite part. 0:12:48.120 --> 0:12:50.840 You asked him, well, who's gonna make you breakfast? And 0:12:50.840 --> 0:12:56.080 he said, Daddy, really defiant, and you go, well, who's 0:12:56.080 --> 0:13:02.440 gonna cuddle? You goes, we can call you to cuddle, 0:13:02.760 --> 0:13:05.600 we can call you to come. A whole like angry 0:13:05.720 --> 0:13:10.600 side breaks down as you see the thought of him 0:13:10.640 --> 0:13:13.400 not having you to cuddle. It's funny because I didn't 0:13:13.440 --> 0:13:16.360 even think he's particularly liked cuddling with me. I mean 0:13:16.440 --> 0:13:23.079 sometimes be like hem, I like to maybe in the background, 0:13:23.640 --> 0:13:26.720 she goes, who's going to cuddle you go daddy? Yeah, 0:13:27.040 --> 0:13:29.920 that's my girl. Yeah, she's like, I just cuddle daddy 0:13:30.000 --> 0:13:33.280 yesterday a time whenever I went. She likes to cuddle 0:13:33.320 --> 0:13:37.360 me though. She was just being kind of difficult. She's 0:13:37.360 --> 0:13:40.880 been throwing She's in through a lot of little tantrums, 0:13:40.920 --> 0:13:44.520 like unfortunately she runs out of steam kind of quickly 0:13:44.559 --> 0:13:47.319 because we just don't have the patience for her. Like 0:13:47.040 --> 0:13:49.920 were just literally throw it in a tub tonight. Yeah, 0:13:50.120 --> 0:13:52.400 that actually went better than I thought it would. She's 0:13:52.440 --> 0:13:55.880 had like gave up three of those in the last 0:13:55.920 --> 0:13:58.840 twenty four hours, like just like defiant, Like I had 0:13:58.880 --> 0:14:02.000 to carry in from the car after picking them up, 0:14:02.440 --> 0:14:05.240 and like, and she started screaming, and she's just like 0:14:06.600 --> 0:14:08.839 and there's two old ladies outside who are like kind 0:14:08.840 --> 0:14:10.920 of laughing, and then she kind of got more shy 0:14:11.160 --> 0:14:14.280 when she saw them, so she just screamed more quietly. 0:14:14.720 --> 0:14:18.400 She's getting old enough to be a shame. Shame is 0:14:18.480 --> 0:14:24.200 good people, Yeah, Um, I mean, in healthy doses, we 0:14:24.360 --> 0:14:29.720 love shame. There's a reason shame exists. Shame keep acting 0:14:29.760 --> 0:14:33.840 like an idiot boy. Yeah, kids learning a little shame, 0:14:34.400 --> 0:14:37.360 just a little, yeah, just a little. I mean sometimes 0:14:37.360 --> 0:14:40.040 they need a lot. We don't shame them, but we're 0:14:40.080 --> 0:14:44.680 happy that they're ashamed. I don't know what I'm talking about. 0:14:45.120 --> 0:14:51.400 You're tired. I've been away from you. Comial most exhausting 0:14:51.480 --> 0:14:53.920 thing ever, it's not having me to cuddle. It is 0:14:53.960 --> 0:14:56.280 I've been so exhauced, like no one to cuddle. So 0:14:56.400 --> 0:14:59.280 shed commercial. We're supposed to only say the code name, 0:14:59.360 --> 0:15:02.920 so I can't say what it is. It's not that exciting. 0:15:03.000 --> 0:15:06.640 But I spent all day with a six year old 0:15:08.560 --> 0:15:12.760 and at one point is a six year old who 0:15:12.840 --> 0:15:16.200 lives like in Tribeca. It's like the capital of Story 0:15:16.240 --> 0:15:20.040 Pirates fans is like Tripeca, and so I was like, oh, 0:15:20.080 --> 0:15:22.200 this kid will know me, and I have to be 0:15:22.360 --> 0:15:24.000 his dad in the spot, so I need him to 0:15:24.000 --> 0:15:27.720 be comfortable with me. So at one point my worst nightmare, 0:15:27.920 --> 0:15:30.840 I was like, hey, buddy, I bet you've heard of 0:15:30.880 --> 0:15:33.360 story parrots, huh, like in front of his mom and everybody, 0:15:33.400 --> 0:15:37.320 and he's like nope. And I was like, oh, well, 0:15:38.240 --> 0:15:41.160 you know what, never mind, that's talk the next two hours. 0:15:41.800 --> 0:15:44.640 That's so funny. I'll like, I have things with the 0:15:44.640 --> 0:15:47.840 Reductress where sometimes the most random people will be like 0:15:48.000 --> 0:15:50.880 be sharing it or like no, like be really into it, 0:15:51.040 --> 0:15:55.200 friends of friends or whatever, and then other people are like, 0:15:55.400 --> 0:15:58.600 so many people are just like, what what is that that? 0:15:59.080 --> 0:16:04.000 I pulled the Reductress card twice today, no hits, including 0:16:04.160 --> 0:16:08.360 including somebody that you went to college with did my 0:16:08.480 --> 0:16:11.400 makeup today? And she had not heard of it, but 0:16:11.440 --> 0:16:13.040 she was very excited to hear about it. She's about 0:16:13.040 --> 0:16:14.840 to have a baby, so she was much more excited 0:16:14.880 --> 0:16:18.240 about your book. There's no manual now available on Amazon 0:16:18.880 --> 0:16:20.960 or wherever you get your wherever you get your books. 0:16:21.640 --> 0:16:24.520 Um so, But by the end of the day, this 0:16:24.600 --> 0:16:30.400 kid and I were We're besties. Yeah, it's the first 0:16:30.800 --> 0:16:34.640 I had unrelated The last thing I need to say 0:16:34.640 --> 0:16:39.760 about this kid. This kid was on set for seven 0:16:39.760 --> 0:16:44.400 hours or something and he was six years old and 0:16:44.400 --> 0:16:45.960 he had to do all these takes and he was 0:16:46.080 --> 0:16:49.880 tired everything, but he never complained and he did it 0:16:49.960 --> 0:16:52.480 over and over and over. And I was like, people 0:16:52.520 --> 0:16:55.640 have asked me to bring Brian to auditions for certain things. 0:16:55.720 --> 0:16:59.240 I was like, no, wait, Brian wouldn't have lasted twenty 0:16:59.280 --> 0:17:02.920 minutes being told what to do on a set. He's 0:17:02.920 --> 0:17:07.000 not cut out. No, no, he says he wants to 0:17:07.040 --> 0:17:11.480 do it. If he ever does maybe maybe, But I'm 0:17:11.480 --> 0:17:13.600 not taking him into that situation. What were you going 0:17:13.640 --> 0:17:16.520 to say? I was gonna say, so I had to 0:17:16.520 --> 0:17:20.560 go into Serious today to do Jenny McCarthy's show and 0:17:21.600 --> 0:17:24.919 it live to say it was live and what like. 0:17:25.320 --> 0:17:27.439 So what's funny is like I've I've done plenty of 0:17:27.480 --> 0:17:30.679 podcasts and I've done I think a serious show before. 0:17:30.800 --> 0:17:34.240 But they usually when you're in Serious x M, not 0:17:34.359 --> 0:17:38.520 a serious show, yeah, serious EXIM radio show. Yeah. Do 0:17:38.600 --> 0:17:40.360 they call it serious x M anymore? I think it's 0:17:40.359 --> 0:17:45.000 just serious anyway, they XM Radio and Serious Merge, I know. 0:17:45.280 --> 0:17:48.399 I don't know um anyway, they when you go in 0:17:48.440 --> 0:17:50.520 and do a podcast, usually you talk to the people 0:17:50.520 --> 0:17:53.760 beforehand and it's sort of like, hey, like what's up. So, 0:17:54.080 --> 0:17:56.480 but this they like ushered me and they're like hey, 0:17:56.520 --> 0:17:58.440 what's going on. They're like, okay, you can sit here, 0:17:58.520 --> 0:18:01.800 and then they're like literally rolling, and I was like, 0:18:01.840 --> 0:18:08.159 oh wow, so well, actually what happened was like I 0:18:08.200 --> 0:18:10.959 put the headphones on.
