Speaker 1: I'm gonna go with you, guys, I told Tany and

17
00:00:47,840 --> 00:00:50,959
Speaker 1: Systney Flora is going to pick my costume because we're

18
00:00:50,960 --> 00:00:52,720
Speaker 1: gonna go a trick or treating together.

19
00:00:53,280 --> 00:00:56,040
Speaker 4: Yes, so this is I know we've been talking about

20
00:00:56,080 --> 00:00:58,520
Speaker 4: in our house and we need to figure out kind

21
00:00:58,520 --> 00:01:01,640
Speaker 4: of a theme and so oh what did you have

22
00:01:01,640 --> 00:01:05,000
Speaker 4: any ideas because we all kind of coordinate as a group.

23
00:01:07,680 --> 00:01:09,800
Speaker 1: Does Floor get to pick our costumes or do we

24
00:01:09,800 --> 00:01:10,720
Speaker 1: need to give her guidance?

25
00:01:12,319 --> 00:01:14,080
Speaker 4: I feel like we need to give some guidance. Like

26
00:01:14,080 --> 00:01:18,360
Speaker 4: we were kind of talking maybe about like Ghostbusters and

27
00:01:18,400 --> 00:01:21,000
Speaker 4: she you know, we could be some Busters. Someone could

28
00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:23,360
Speaker 4: be a slime or ghost. I don't know, that could

29
00:01:23,360 --> 00:01:24,120
Speaker 4: be maybe.

30
00:01:24,959 --> 00:01:27,120
Speaker 3: No, that's an easy costume too, because it's just that jumpsuit.

31
00:01:27,680 --> 00:01:29,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't face paint or masks.

32
00:01:30,600 --> 00:01:32,200
Speaker 5: Can you you want to be Slimer?

33
00:01:33,560 --> 00:01:34,119
Speaker 2: What does that mean?

34
00:01:34,400 --> 00:01:38,480
Speaker 3: I wear Slimmer from Ghostbusters? You know who Slimmer.

35
00:01:38,160 --> 00:01:41,920
Speaker 5: Is, Like, he's the green ghost, He's the.

36
00:01:41,959 --> 00:01:48,760
Speaker 1: Slim and walk around intat ghost.

37
00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:51,200
Speaker 4: I feel like that's probably one of those inflatable costumes

38
00:01:51,200 --> 00:01:53,440
Speaker 4: and he's not going to do anything that has a motor.

39
00:01:55,760 --> 00:02:01,640
Speaker 3: At the costume. But you should, Ryan, this is your niece.

40
00:02:02,480 --> 00:02:06,200
Speaker 1: I'm ready and willing and waiting except for those.

41
00:02:06,040 --> 00:02:08,040
Speaker 4: Right, we really got it. We got to get on

42
00:02:08,120 --> 00:02:11,280
Speaker 4: it because it is October and it's coming soon, so

43
00:02:11,320 --> 00:02:13,920
Speaker 4: we got to get on this. So let's definitely discuss.

44
00:02:13,960 --> 00:02:15,880
Speaker 5: If you guys have ideas, please.

45
00:02:15,880 --> 00:02:19,119
Speaker 3: I mean, just black cats and make it easy. Oh

46
00:02:19,160 --> 00:02:23,360
Speaker 3: that's not Oh we can do better than anyway.

47
00:02:24,240 --> 00:02:26,799
Speaker 1: More importantly, Meredith is here because she and I put

48
00:02:26,800 --> 00:02:30,200
Speaker 1: this children's book together called The Make Believers with illustrator

49
00:02:30,240 --> 00:02:35,679
Speaker 1: Bonnie Louis, and it's a very special project for us. Mary,

50
00:02:35,680 --> 00:02:37,440
Speaker 1: you want to tell us a little bit about why

51
00:02:37,480 --> 00:02:37,960
Speaker 1: we did it?

52
00:02:39,480 --> 00:02:43,000
Speaker 4: Sure, so, you know, I think reflecting kind of a

53
00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:47,160
Speaker 4: bit on our childhood. We were Ryan and I were chatting,

54
00:02:47,160 --> 00:02:50,160
Speaker 4: and this all started during the pandemic, so this hasn't

55
00:02:50,240 --> 00:02:52,720
Speaker 4: going on for this idea has been going on for

56
00:02:52,760 --> 00:02:55,840
Speaker 4: a while. But we were kind of reflecting on our childhood,

57
00:02:55,960 --> 00:02:59,880
Speaker 4: especially with Flora, you know, really playing and her creativity soaring,

58
00:03:00,320 --> 00:03:04,200
Speaker 4: and just talking about how, you know, we made shows

59
00:03:04,240 --> 00:03:08,320
Speaker 4: growing up and we did so much with playing make Believe.

60
00:03:08,360 --> 00:03:10,440
Speaker 4: You know, Ryan was pretending to be Casey Casem and

61
00:03:10,480 --> 00:03:12,840
Speaker 4: I was pretending to be Cindy Lauper and he'd interview

62
00:03:13,040 --> 00:03:13,720
Speaker 4: me and all.

63
00:03:13,560 --> 00:03:17,640
Speaker 5: This fun stuff. But and and just I don't know,

64
00:03:17,800 --> 00:03:18,720
Speaker 5: just talking.

65
00:03:18,639 --> 00:03:22,240
Speaker 4: Or creating a book that celebrates imagination and play. And

66
00:03:22,280 --> 00:03:23,560
Speaker 4: I think, you know, we are in a day and

67
00:03:23,600 --> 00:03:26,680
Speaker 4: age where there's so much technology and options for kids

68
00:03:26,680 --> 00:03:28,720
Speaker 4: and things to do and kind of going back to

69
00:03:28,760 --> 00:03:31,680
Speaker 4: the roots of just that creative play, where you know,

70
00:03:31,760 --> 00:03:34,520
Speaker 4: a spachelor could be a wand and a blanket can

71
00:03:34,560 --> 00:03:36,640
Speaker 4: be a cape, and just where it can take you.

72
00:03:36,800 --> 00:03:40,360
Speaker 4: So it's really just a fun book celebrating the power

73
00:03:40,360 --> 00:03:44,040
Speaker 4: of imagination, and it works city to share it.

74
00:03:44,120 --> 00:03:44,600
Speaker 3: I love that.

75
00:03:45,440 --> 00:03:48,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, it is about the simplicity but also

76
00:03:49,560 --> 00:03:54,080
Speaker 1: the endless creativity of a child's mind and imagination. And

77
00:03:54,280 --> 00:03:57,040
Speaker 1: I see my little niece she talked about. I have

78
00:03:57,160 --> 00:03:59,720
Speaker 1: met so many kids at pediatric hospitals around the country

79
00:03:59,720 --> 00:04:03,080
Speaker 1: who are they're going through something, but they got dreams

80
00:04:03,400 --> 00:04:06,800
Speaker 1: and they've got great ideas, and they're drawing things and

81
00:04:06,840 --> 00:04:08,640
Speaker 1: they're talking about what they want to be, and I say,

82
00:04:08,640 --> 00:04:09,200
Speaker 1: what do you want to do?

83
00:04:09,240 --> 00:04:09,800
Speaker 2: What do you want to be?

84
00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:13,840
Speaker 1: I mean, and they have endless ambition, And I just

85
00:04:13,880 --> 00:04:15,120
Speaker 1: think that's something to sebright. And by the way, I

86
00:04:15,160 --> 00:04:16,960
Speaker 1: do believe that you don't know it at the time

87
00:04:16,960 --> 00:04:18,880
Speaker 1: because you're too young to understand it generally. And I

88
00:04:19,040 --> 00:04:21,080
Speaker 1: was too when I was pretending to be a DJ,

89
00:04:21,200 --> 00:04:22,960
Speaker 1: pretending to be a host, I didn't know one's going

90
00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:25,080
Speaker 1: to do it, but it ended up being good practice.

91
00:04:25,200 --> 00:04:26,960
Speaker 1: When I was reading the newspaper out loud to my

92
00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:31,640
Speaker 1: sister at a desktop a counter, and you know that

93
00:04:31,640 --> 00:04:34,000
Speaker 1: that power of vision and manifestation. You don't know what

94
00:04:34,040 --> 00:04:36,240
Speaker 1: that means when you're that young, but it is something

95
00:04:36,279 --> 00:04:39,120
Speaker 1: that could be real. So anyway, The Make Believers is

96
00:04:39,160 --> 00:04:42,080
Speaker 1: what it's called. It's available wherever books are sold.

97
00:04:42,160 --> 00:04:49,400
