WEBVTT - Let's Take A Trip! w/ Sam Shelton 0:00:04.720 --> 0:00:08.520 Hi everybody, and welcome back to Katie's Crib. In this episode, 0:00:08.560 --> 0:00:12.640 we're talking about one of my favorite topics, travel, but 0:00:12.720 --> 0:00:16.080 now we're talking about travel with kids. So it's super stressful, 0:00:16.120 --> 0:00:17.560 I know, for a lot of people to travel on 0:00:17.600 --> 0:00:19.360 your own and then adding a baby into the mix, 0:00:19.400 --> 0:00:21.640 it is just it can be a lot. And just 0:00:21.680 --> 0:00:24.520 because you have a baby, it does not mean you, guys, 0:00:24.520 --> 0:00:27.400 that you have to swear off long distance trips. Okay. 0:00:27.440 --> 0:00:29.240 Sometimes you know, you just need to visit a family 0:00:29.280 --> 0:00:31.800 member far away, or sometimes you just like need a vacation, 0:00:32.159 --> 0:00:34.080 you know, and we're here to tell you that it 0:00:34.200 --> 0:00:36.680 is possible and you can do it without losing your 0:00:36.720 --> 0:00:39.839 freaking mind. Okay, we are here today with one of 0:00:39.920 --> 0:00:43.080 my best friends in the entire world. It is the one, 0:00:43.360 --> 0:00:47.160 the only, Samantha Sky Shelton who has the most beautiful 0:00:48.600 --> 0:00:51.120 She is a really freaking good friend of mine. And 0:00:51.159 --> 0:00:53.880 also you guys, she is the incredible singer and talent 0:00:54.160 --> 0:00:56.680 that you hear on the music at the end and 0:00:56.720 --> 0:00:58.840 the beginning of this podcast. You know when it says 0:00:58.920 --> 0:01:03.320 you do it, yeah that do it, do it, do 0:01:03.400 --> 0:01:07.000 it my way? And also just why I I was 0:01:07.080 --> 0:01:11.840 sam Shelton's backup singer for a good many years before scandal. 0:01:12.200 --> 0:01:14.479 When we would where would we perform? Oh, all over 0:01:14.600 --> 0:01:16.960 Los Angeles, the clubs of l A. And now I 0:01:16.959 --> 0:01:19.200 would happily be your backup singer. I would be your 0:01:19.200 --> 0:01:21.200 backup singer any day of the week. All I can 0:01:21.240 --> 0:01:22.720 remember was at a time in my life where I 0:01:22.720 --> 0:01:27.000 thought wearing navy blue sequin booty shorts with like high 0:01:27.080 --> 0:01:29.039 heels and tights was like a good look. But I 0:01:29.080 --> 0:01:31.480 was like a backup singing. It was just to hang 0:01:31.480 --> 0:01:34.600 out and practice, like the songs and harmonizing stuff. It 0:01:34.680 --> 0:01:37.160 was an opportunity to chill. And you know how we 0:01:37.280 --> 0:01:39.240 figured that out week. Okay. So Sam and I met 0:01:39.240 --> 0:01:41.720 in an acting class a hundred thousand years ago, Mark 0:01:41.800 --> 0:01:46.200 Casey's acting class. And then her husband Stephen and my 0:01:46.319 --> 0:01:48.800 husband Adam became friends separately, and then we put two 0:01:48.800 --> 0:01:50.720 and two together that they were becoming fast friends and 0:01:50.720 --> 0:01:52.440 she and I were becoming fast friends, and then it 0:01:52.480 --> 0:01:56.600 was just on, and it's been on for ten years 0:01:56.680 --> 0:02:01.760 or something like that. Craziness. Um. Sam has always been 0:02:01.800 --> 0:02:06.000 before babies, a traveling guru, like so sweet, No, you 0:02:06.080 --> 0:02:09.040 do love to travel? Traveling has been like it has been. 0:02:09.120 --> 0:02:11.040 Tell us like some of the places you went to before? 0:02:11.280 --> 0:02:13.520 What did your travel life look like before when you 0:02:13.560 --> 0:02:17.480 were not well. I have always approached traveling like not 0:02:17.560 --> 0:02:20.600 so much as taking a vacation, but rather as like 0:02:20.639 --> 0:02:22.520 a way of life and how it's just a part 0:02:22.600 --> 0:02:24.920 of my year. I always set aside money to travel 0:02:25.000 --> 0:02:27.680 every month, and I still do to this day as 0:02:28.240 --> 0:02:31.680 just it's part of my own experience on this planet. 0:02:31.720 --> 0:02:33.280 I just want to see the world. I want to 0:02:33.280 --> 0:02:35.640 see as much as I can, and there is still 0:02:35.720 --> 0:02:37.920 so many more places to go. And you have seen 0:02:37.919 --> 0:02:40.840 a lot more places probably than I have. But I 0:02:40.840 --> 0:02:47.160 mean some of my big adventures have been to Australia, Cambodia, Thailand, 0:02:47.639 --> 0:02:54.760 Um all over and then South America. Did you feel fear? 0:02:55.520 --> 0:02:58.359 Oh yeah, where did you go in Argentina? I want 0:02:58.360 --> 0:03:02.880 to go to the end. What do people feel like? 0:03:03.320 --> 0:03:06.120 Did you ever have a fear when you were thinking 0:03:06.240 --> 0:03:09.600 or talking about family planning with Steven that like traveling 0:03:09.680 --> 0:03:12.360 was going to be gone, or it was like, oh no, no, 0:03:12.400 --> 0:03:14.080 we're just going to bring kid into the next We 0:03:14.160 --> 0:03:16.480 always just we're going to bring the kid into the mix. 0:03:16.520 --> 0:03:20.000 But I think you have you know people have this, um, 0:03:20.040 --> 0:03:21.600 you know, there's this thing where moms are like, I'm 0:03:21.600 --> 0:03:23.840 just gonna strap my baby to me and just take 0:03:23.919 --> 0:03:26.960 them wherever I go, and like, you know, like they're 0:03:26.960 --> 0:03:30.000 just going to live my life with me, my life 0:03:30.120 --> 0:03:32.600 right right, right right, I'm just going to put on that, 0:03:32.760 --> 0:03:35.400 you know, put them in the sling and go. And 0:03:35.440 --> 0:03:37.760 I think the reality is it's a little more complicated 0:03:37.800 --> 0:03:42.400 than that, especially for us, um, but it's still not 0:03:42.480 --> 0:03:44.600 even an issue for us. It's like they're just going 0:03:44.640 --> 0:03:46.920 to have to get up and go and and you 0:03:47.000 --> 0:03:48.960 have to tell us about your kids. You have to. 0:03:49.720 --> 0:03:55.000 I have two adorable children, Laslow and Poppy. I mean, guys, 0:03:55.160 --> 0:03:57.120 let's just give a big round of applause for those 0:03:57.200 --> 0:04:01.520 dope ass names. They're amazing. What's Samantha's guy Shelton would 0:04:01.560 --> 0:04:05.680 only have a Laslow Davis and a Poppy Davis. Um, 0:04:05.840 --> 0:04:10.520 Laslow is five and Poppies too. Do you remember your 0:04:10.520 --> 0:04:15.000 first trip with Laslow? I do. We went to Zatjo 0:04:15.520 --> 0:04:20.840 Michel and Um, of course I was terrified, and you know, 0:04:21.360 --> 0:04:23.599 he's just there's so many unknowns. What's the plane going 0:04:23.680 --> 0:04:25.960 to be, like, what's the airport going to be? Like 0:04:26.040 --> 0:04:29.560 customs and then you're going to Mexico, and um, it 0:04:29.640 --> 0:04:34.120 was incredible. I remember that, you know the people around us. 0:04:34.160 --> 0:04:36.719 You know, if you have an adorable baby, like, people 0:04:36.720 --> 0:04:39.400 are generally pretty nice to you. And Mexico is a 0:04:39.400 --> 0:04:43.360 country that loves kids and people bent over backwards. Um. 0:04:43.360 --> 0:04:46.160 One of the craziest things about that particular trip I'll 0:04:46.200 --> 0:04:49.000 never forget this is, you know, I had like the 0:04:49.040 --> 0:04:51.240 car seed and the bags and the diaper bags and 0:04:51.279 --> 0:04:54.800 like all of our documents and crab and we made it. 0:04:54.880 --> 0:04:57.280 We got to the cab, you know, things are falling 0:04:57.320 --> 0:05:01.240 everywhere whatever. We get to the hotel. Two days later, 0:05:01.640 --> 0:05:03.280 the security guard comes up to us and it's like, 0:05:03.320 --> 0:05:05.680 can you come to the office. And we get to 0:05:05.720 --> 0:05:09.279 the office totally freaked out, and he's like he hands 0:05:09.360 --> 0:05:13.960 us our passports which had fallen out in the backseat 0:05:14.120 --> 0:05:19.120 of the cab, and this angel taxi driver came back 0:05:19.120 --> 0:05:24.000 to the hotel and brought the passports them. So talk 0:05:24.040 --> 0:05:27.880 about a moment of like seeing what your life could 0:05:27.880 --> 0:05:33.360 have been on the other side. I was like, attorneys, Um, 0:05:33.600 --> 0:05:35.520 you know, it was stuck in Mexico, Like what do 0:05:35.600 --> 0:05:37.520 you even do? I would have had no idea what 0:05:37.640 --> 0:05:40.839 to do, and do you get just stressed about like 0:05:40.839 --> 0:05:42.320 like I think a lot of people get stressed about 0:05:42.320 --> 0:05:44.039 the plane ride, which we'll get into and is can 0:05:44.080 --> 0:05:45.960 be a fucking nightmare. But and I know you've lived 0:05:45.960 --> 0:05:50.320 through some ship, but I always get stressed about only 0:05:50.400 --> 0:05:53.760 traveling to places right now where I think, like the 0:05:53.800 --> 0:05:56.719 hospitals are going to be okay, Like that is so 0:05:56.839 --> 0:06:01.600 my alarmist ass, dumbass self, But like I like, we 0:06:01.640 --> 0:06:04.839 took Albion his first trip outside the country to Barcelona. 0:06:04.880 --> 0:06:06.200 He was eight or nine months old, and I got 0:06:06.200 --> 0:06:07.960 into my head that someone had said you should take 0:06:08.000 --> 0:06:10.400 them when they're really young, before they're walking, because they 0:06:10.520 --> 0:06:13.240 nap all the time in the stroller. I was still nursing, 0:06:13.360 --> 0:06:17.320 and I could nurse on the plane, you know, which 0:06:17.360 --> 0:06:20.159 makes plane rides far more easy because they're very suitable. 0:06:20.760 --> 0:06:24.280 I um, I felt like going to Barcelona Madrid would 0:06:24.320 --> 0:06:26.839 be God forbid anything bad had happened. Why I chose 0:06:26.839 --> 0:06:29.800 these cities is that a hospital would be as great 0:06:29.839 --> 0:06:32.640 as one is here, and so I wasn't comfortable going 0:06:32.680 --> 0:06:35.039 to a place that might not be first world. Do 0:06:35.080 --> 0:06:36.720 you ever feel that way or you're like I think 0:06:36.760 --> 0:06:38.440 if I were to do it differently, I think you 0:06:38.480 --> 0:06:40.359 totally had it right, and I should have gone to 0:06:40.640 --> 0:06:43.400 cities like that when they were babies, because it's once 0:06:43.440 --> 0:06:47.159 they're walking and crawling, then that's a whole other ballgame. 0:06:47.720 --> 0:06:50.200 Should come in the stroller. Then yes, go to Paris. 0:06:50.760 --> 0:06:53.640 You know, yeah, I recommend the cities because they can 0:06:53.680 --> 0:06:56.720 do museums on naps. What's kind of romantic about it 0:06:56.760 --> 0:06:58.719 is even if their jet lagged. What I found is 0:06:58.720 --> 0:07:00.080 like if you woke up at four or five o'clock 0:07:00.080 --> 0:07:01.679 in the morning, we just threw him in the stroller 0:07:01.880 --> 0:07:04.080 and like Adam and I like strolled the city like 0:07:04.120 --> 0:07:06.279 by ourselves before the city was awake, and it was 0:07:06.320 --> 0:07:09.600 like super romantic and dope and awesome. And so I 0:07:09.640 --> 0:07:12.640 had heard this tip of advice to like travel with 0:07:12.680 --> 0:07:15.840 the baby before they're crawling and moving, and it's like, actually, 0:07:16.360 --> 0:07:17.960 it was like adding and I say, it was like 0:07:18.000 --> 0:07:20.440 better than our baby moon. That thing that people take 0:07:20.920 --> 0:07:25.720 is totally queasy and you can drinking baby Moon is 0:07:25.760 --> 0:07:29.480 so stupid. It's this like dumbass hallmark thing of like 0:07:29.560 --> 0:07:31.320 you have to take your last trip before the baby 0:07:31.400 --> 0:07:33.920 is there. Well, you can't drink, you know, you feel 0:07:33.960 --> 0:07:36.480 like garbage. You definitely don't want to have sex all 0:07:36.480 --> 0:07:38.920 the time. I mean, I guess some few lucky women 0:07:38.920 --> 0:07:41.240 are like super horny during pregnancy and go with God. 0:07:41.280 --> 0:07:47.320 Great for them, but like I was not so I 0:07:47.400 --> 0:07:49.920 like I just thought my baby moon was like supposed 0:07:49.960 --> 0:07:51.960 to be this epic, amazing thing, and it really wasn't. 0:07:52.000 --> 0:07:53.320 We went to Hawaii, but then when we went to 0:07:53.320 --> 0:07:56.280 Barcelona with the baby, it was like very romantic. Yeah, 0:07:56.480 --> 0:07:59.440 that sounds so dreamy. I think we went to loom 0:07:59.480 --> 0:08:01.120 as a baby moon, and then we went to Palm 0:08:01.240 --> 0:08:03.880 Springs or something, and I kind of have these vague 0:08:03.960 --> 0:08:09.280 like like kind of hot, uncomfortable case memories, like it's 0:08:09.280 --> 0:08:12.320 just not great. Like going to your point about hospitals, 0:08:13.080 --> 0:08:15.160 I do always double check and just kind of make 0:08:15.200 --> 0:08:17.720 sure I know where it is, what your first line 0:08:17.720 --> 0:08:19.960 of defense would be. And in fact, I have a 0:08:20.000 --> 0:08:24.640 friend who was staying in a beautiful villa in Tuscany, 0:08:24.720 --> 0:08:27.000 and she had her twins were four years old at 0:08:27.000 --> 0:08:29.680 the time, and you know what can go wrong. They're 0:08:29.720 --> 0:08:32.360 playing one of her twins gets bit by a viper 0:08:33.559 --> 0:08:39.320 extremely rare, extremely deadly snake in Tuscany. That's unheard of, 0:08:39.920 --> 0:08:42.600 and she it was a whole drama. But basically she 0:08:42.760 --> 0:08:45.920 was in you know, Taxis, two clinics than the clinic too, 0:08:46.080 --> 0:08:49.920 in the ambulance to you know, Florence, and in the 0:08:49.960 --> 0:08:51.719 hospital for two weeks. Her son is fine, thank god, 0:08:51.720 --> 0:08:54.920 and everyone's okay. But she actually gave me the great advice, 0:08:54.920 --> 0:08:58.160 which is to not only double check where the clinics 0:08:58.200 --> 0:08:59.839 and the urgent care is and all of that, but 0:09:00.000 --> 0:09:02.760 also to understand what your insurance is in a foreign 0:09:02.840 --> 0:09:06.679 country and how to just be prepared something about that, 0:09:06.720 --> 0:09:09.320 Like you just, I guess spend some time googling wherever 0:09:09.320 --> 0:09:11.280 it is you're going and where the closest places like 0:09:11.320 --> 0:09:13.720 I wouldn't know, and I guess you call your insurance company, 0:09:13.720 --> 0:09:16.319 like the hotel would know where the town you're in, 0:09:16.520 --> 0:09:18.720 or you know. Yeah. On the other hand, I don't 0:09:18.760 --> 0:09:21.520 spend too much time worrying about it. Yes, Sam Shelton 0:09:21.559 --> 0:09:23.760 is one of these amazing moms to have around, because 0:09:23.800 --> 0:09:26.679 you're very good at that.

I love this stuff 0:10:51.880 --> 0:10:57.400 with Sam Shelton, so Lajo which was his first baby trip, 0:10:57.960 --> 0:11:02.240 and um, how how was he on that flight? He 0:11:02.320 --> 0:11:05.440 was people really nice. Yeah, and he was again I 0:11:05.440 --> 0:11:07.640 think he was five months and so he was just 0:11:08.480 --> 0:11:13.480 nursing and snapping and easy. Easy when they're when they're 0:11:13.480 --> 0:11:16.679 toddlers and you do long flights, you know there and 0:11:16.720 --> 0:11:18.920 he's five now and we just had a really rough 0:11:18.960 --> 0:11:22.320 flight that included a night terror, which was ye, can 0:11:22.360 --> 0:11:25.880 you explain the story? This is horrifying. Well, night terror 0:11:25.880 --> 0:11:29.480 has happened, you know, fairly often with kids around three 0:11:29.640 --> 0:11:32.800 four years old. It's a crazy dream. It's like a 0:11:32.880 --> 0:11:35.199 nightmare that they can't wake themselves up out of and 0:11:35.280 --> 0:11:37.040 you can't wake them up out of and you just 0:11:37.040 --> 0:11:39.840 have to write it out. And it happens when they're overtired, 0:11:40.040 --> 0:11:44.040 and um, we happen to have one on a cross 0:11:44.040 --> 0:11:46.520 country flight from New York to Los Angeles, and my 0:11:46.600 --> 0:11:48.880 poor son just was sleeping on my lap and then 0:11:48.920 --> 0:11:52.600 just sat up and started screaming bloody murder on the 0:11:52.640 --> 0:11:55.720 plane for fifteen minutes, solid could not wake him up 0:11:55.720 --> 0:11:58.240 out of this thing. He gets on the floor in 0:11:58.280 --> 0:12:00.480 front of my knees and then throws up all over 0:12:00.520 --> 0:12:05.839 my legs, up dress, into my shoes. I'm sitting there 0:12:05.840 --> 0:12:08.720 in a pool. God lets supply attendants, but they're not 0:12:08.800 --> 0:12:11.599 really great and they actually don't have cleaning supplies for 0:12:11.679 --> 0:12:13.439 this kind of thing, right, They only have barf bags 0:12:13.440 --> 0:12:15.319 for adults, but like if there's throw up everywhere, it's 0:12:15.320 --> 0:12:17.320 only to have like an amazing endless supply of like 0:12:17.360 --> 0:12:23.679 white Like yeah, so I was like had my baby 0:12:23.679 --> 0:12:25.520 wipes from my two year old. I mean, it was 0:12:26.080 --> 0:12:27.559 it was a disaster. And plus, you don't bring a 0:12:27.640 --> 0:12:30.240 change of clothes for your five year old or yourself, 0:12:30.679 --> 0:12:33.120 so notice, you know, maybe pack your own self a 0:12:33.160 --> 0:12:35.720 T shirt, especially if you have a baby good or 0:12:35.840 --> 0:12:37.840 you know, pants. But we like wrapped a hoodie around 0:12:37.880 --> 0:12:40.880 my son's lap and then and he was just naked, Yeah, 0:12:40.880 --> 0:12:42.719 he was naked. And then he we had an hour 0:12:42.800 --> 0:12:44.760 left to go in the flight we got and luckily 0:12:44.800 --> 0:12:46.280 we were heading back to Los Angeles, so we were 0:12:46.280 --> 0:12:48.240 going home. But he woke up and he was like, 0:12:48.280 --> 0:12:52.280 where are my pants? He had no memory of the incident. Wow, 0:12:52.600 --> 0:12:57.000 can you tell me what is your like flight suggestions? 0:12:57.000 --> 0:12:58.880 They're both now of the age, so you guys know, 0:12:59.040 --> 0:13:01.600 babies blow to fly for free, and so a lot 0:13:01.640 --> 0:13:03.600 of people like to take advantage of flying to visit 0:13:03.640 --> 0:13:06.240 family or taking vacations before the babies too, because they 0:13:06.240 --> 0:13:08.440 don't have to pay for an additional ticket, although it 0:13:08.559 --> 0:13:10.520 is can be a nightmare that the baby's on your 0:13:10.600 --> 0:13:14.120 lap in a tiny ass economy seat for however long. 0:13:14.360 --> 0:13:16.760 So you're at the place now where they're getting their 0:13:16.800 --> 0:13:19.920 own seats. Yes, And not only that, but since I 0:13:19.960 --> 0:13:22.160 have two kids, you know, a lot of planes are 0:13:22.240 --> 0:13:24.320 three and three. So I will be sitting next to 0:13:24.320 --> 0:13:26.679 my two children. My husband's crossed the aisle listening to 0:13:26.720 --> 0:13:29.719 his podcasts and having a drink and at the time 0:13:29.760 --> 0:13:33.400 of his life. And that just because both kids want you, right, 0:13:34.160 --> 0:13:35.640 they're both like, I wanted the next I want to 0:13:35.679 --> 0:13:39.880 the next time. What is your like plane packing list? 0:13:40.000 --> 0:13:41.679 Right now? What are your tips or like a. Is 0:13:41.720 --> 0:13:44.800 there anything where you're like, they need this, they need that? Like, 0:13:44.880 --> 0:13:47.240 are you at iPad level? Like had you checked to 0:13:47.240 --> 0:13:49.400 see if the planes have TVs? Are you against that? 0:13:49.480 --> 0:13:52.520 How does that hole go? We bring kindles for both 0:13:52.520 --> 0:13:55.760 of the kids, and we're totally like screens are great 0:13:55.760 --> 0:13:58.760 on planes, like, go for it, kids, and we always 0:13:58.760 --> 0:14:00.760 have I actually never checked see if the plane has 0:14:00.760 --> 0:14:03.520 a TV because we know we'll have our our kindler 0:14:03.600 --> 0:14:06.959 eight pat or whatever. Um. Absolutely. There's this one thing 0:14:07.000 --> 0:14:09.960 which I highly recommend. It's called a trunky and it's 0:14:10.120 --> 0:14:13.719 a suitcase. It's like a plastic suitcase for toddlers, and 0:14:13.800 --> 0:14:15.199 it has wheels on the bottom of it and a 0:14:15.360 --> 0:14:19.600 strap and handles and the kids. It's like an It's 0:14:19.640 --> 0:14:21.240 a toy for the kids to play on while they're 0:14:21.240 --> 0:14:23.320 waiting in the airport because they can scoot around on it. 0:14:23.920 --> 0:14:25.800 You can pull them by the strap they hold on 0:14:25.840 --> 0:14:28.200 and you give them a ride the airport. They look amazing. 0:14:28.280 --> 0:14:33.640 It's genius. My son loves it. And then what's in there? Suffer, Yeah, 0:14:33.720 --> 0:14:37.320 we bring the iPad. My son's obsessed with travel and airplanes, 0:14:37.480 --> 0:14:41.000 no wonder, so he always brings his toy planes to 0:14:41.080 --> 0:14:45.480 have on the plane and then we pack workbooks, coloring books. 0:14:45.880 --> 0:14:50.600 Magnetiles are great. Magnet magnetiles are those plastic magnets that 0:14:50.640 --> 0:14:53.360 you can build structures with, but they stick together. Their 0:14:53.400 --> 0:15:00.120 magnetic Albie will soon be doing um. But they are 0:15:00.160 --> 0:15:03.200 incredible because they're they you know, suck together and so 0:15:03.240 --> 0:15:05.520 they're they're easy to say. They're kind of like their 0:15:05.560 --> 0:15:09.280 own game exactly. And what's the snack situation for you 0:15:09.320 --> 0:15:11.480 on planes? Do you are you like a big pre 0:15:11.720 --> 0:15:15.400 snack packer or I bring tons of snacks. I bring 0:15:16.120 --> 0:15:21.920 like tangerines, goldfish, whatever snack you know, veggies, all all 0:15:21.920 --> 0:15:24.520 of that stuff. And I also part of the fund 0:15:24.520 --> 0:15:26.400 for my kids is getting a snack at the airport 0:15:26.440 --> 0:15:28.120 to take on the planes. So they always like to 0:15:28.160 --> 0:15:32.440 get the muffin or get the treat eminem's. We always 0:15:32.480 --> 0:15:35.520 keep the eminem's. If something's going wrong after five minutes, 0:15:35.560 --> 0:15:37.000 you've got to bring those eminems and off for a 0:15:37.040 --> 0:15:39.560 couple of eminem m. This is all so smart. This 0:15:39.600 --> 0:15:41.360 is what's coming down the pipe for me, because see 0:15:41.360 --> 0:15:43.560 I'm still dealing with a toddler who like I can't 0:15:43.560 --> 0:15:45.800 give him magnet tiles because abby's are the age like, 0:15:46.160 --> 0:15:49.040 I can't bring anything on the plane that he can 0:15:49.080 --> 0:15:52.480 throw because he will throw it into aisles in front 0:15:52.520 --> 0:15:56.560 and behind us. Um And I packed the most snacks 0:15:56.600 --> 0:15:58.120 you've ever seen in your entire life. But you know 0:15:58.160 --> 0:15:59.800 how it used to be like you would travel with 0:15:59.800 --> 0:16:01.760 your backpack that had like your booking it that you 0:16:01.760 --> 0:16:05.440 were reading and like your planner, like whatever. Now Adam 0:16:05.520 --> 0:16:07.080 has a backpack that has like a few of my 0:16:07.160 --> 0:16:09.280 things in it because I don't. I don't read on 0:16:09.320 --> 0:16:12.440 planes anymore. I don't do anything for myself on planes anymore. 0:16:12.440 --> 0:16:15.200 It's just a full time job of entertaining my child. 0:16:15.640 --> 0:16:17.800 Um so that I'm trying to be respectful of the 0:16:17.840 --> 0:16:21.320 other people flying. Um and so I there's one pack 0:16:21.360 --> 0:16:24.960 pack that has like my wallet and passport, and then 0:16:25.000 --> 0:16:27.840 my backpack is filled with you bring I've heard a 0:16:27.880 --> 0:16:30.200 bunch of diapers. I think it's one per hour when 0:16:30.200 --> 0:16:33.400 they're little, was what I had read. The most wipes ever, 0:16:33.520 --> 0:16:35.920 a change of outfit, the most snacks ever. And then 0:16:35.960 --> 0:16:40.160 I also always bring on the plane motrin a thermometer, 0:16:41.040 --> 0:16:42.920 which it's crazy, I just feel like I should have it, 0:16:43.160 --> 0:16:46.000 and Bena drill and I was reading that you bring 0:16:46.040 --> 0:16:48.640 those things on the plane because God forbid they have 0:16:48.720 --> 0:16:51.680 a crazy like allergic reaction at thirty five thousand feet 0:16:51.800 --> 0:16:55.320 or they start running a temperature um you can administer 0:16:55.400 --> 0:16:57.920 either of those things. You should also make sure you've 0:16:57.960 --> 0:17:00.440 tried those things before you're trying them on a plane, 0:17:00.680 --> 0:17:03.040 just to know that your kid doesn't react poorly to them, 0:17:03.040 --> 0:17:04.560 Like you don't want the first time you're trying motor 0:17:04.720 --> 0:17:06.720 or benegroul to be on a plane, have tried that before, 0:17:06.800 --> 0:17:10.880 Like I did. You did that with my older son 0:17:11.040 --> 0:17:13.800 he Um. I gave him benegroul for the first time 0:17:14.000 --> 0:17:16.600 on an eight hour flight, and he is of the 0:17:16.640 --> 0:17:18.640 two percent or three percent of kids or something who 0:17:18.640 --> 0:17:21.359 has the opposite reaction, and instead of it making them 0:17:21.359 --> 0:17:26.040 sleepy and drowsy, it made him like overactive and crazy. 0:17:27.359 --> 0:17:30.439 So definitely talk to your pediatrician and maybe give that 0:17:30.480 --> 0:17:33.240 a tribe. Have you ever been one of those people? 0:17:33.240 --> 0:17:36.119 And I have not. I've seen on Instagram like amazing 0:17:36.200 --> 0:17:37.959 people who come onto the plane with a baby and 0:17:37.960 --> 0:17:40.840 like have brought gifts or Starbucks gifts cards for everyone 0:17:40.840 --> 0:17:43.560 who sits a readily against that. I'm against the too. 0:17:43.840 --> 0:17:46.760 Fuck that. I'm sorry, but like what the fuck, like 0:17:48.000 --> 0:17:50.160 like I have time for that. Like I'm not going 0:17:50.280 --> 0:17:53.359 to buy gift cards, Like I'm sorry, I'm a nice person. 0:17:53.400 --> 0:17:56.720 I'm going to do the best I can exactly, Like 0:17:57.520 --> 0:18:01.119 I've never been given a little baggy of ear plugs 0:18:01.160 --> 0:18:04.480 and treats and whatever. But I honestly like it's the 0:18:04.560 --> 0:18:06.359 last thing on my mind when I'm getting ready for 0:18:06.400 --> 0:18:09.960 a flight. And by the way, like you know, everyone's 0:18:09.960 --> 0:18:13.159 doing that, Everyone's doing the best they can. I just 0:18:13.359 --> 0:18:15.200 kids are kids. They're going to do what they do that. 0:18:15.600 --> 0:18:17.239 You know, you're not getting on an airplane to have 0:18:17.280 --> 0:18:19.680 a vacation on the airplane. It's like it's a mode 0:18:19.680 --> 0:18:22.880 of transportation. So let's just all like hunger down, put 0:18:22.880 --> 0:18:27.480 in your earphones exactly, like bring your own sinking air plugs. Yeah. 0:18:27.520 --> 0:18:30.400 I see this on Instagram, like these wonderful parents who 0:18:30.400 --> 0:18:32.280 are like I might be a bit I mean, I 0:18:32.280 --> 0:18:34.760 don't know, but like I was like, oh my god, 0:18:34.880 --> 0:18:36.399 that's what I'm supposed to be thinking of. I mean, 0:18:36.440 --> 0:18:41.080 I'm trying to pack for my entire family. I'm trying. 0:18:41.200 --> 0:18:44.760 I know that I will walk one thousand. Oh. Here's 0:18:44.760 --> 0:18:46.760 a question. Have you found it to be easier to 0:18:46.840 --> 0:18:51.000 fly with breaks or do you think it's easier to 0:18:51.040 --> 0:18:54.360 flight overnight? Um, I definitely think you should just get 0:18:54.359 --> 0:18:57.679 it one and done do the longer flight. I personally like, 0:18:57.800 --> 0:18:59.800 don't want to go through taking off and landing, getting 0:18:59.800 --> 0:19:02.960 off plane, getting on a plane. For me, that's I 0:19:03.000 --> 0:19:05.120 know other people have a different opinion and like they 0:19:05.160 --> 0:19:06.760 like the break, they like to let their kid run 0:19:06.800 --> 0:19:09.040 around or whatever. For me, I just prefer to, like, 0:19:09.160 --> 0:19:12.080 let's just get it done with. Are your kids having 0:19:12.359 --> 0:19:15.040 Do they have bad reactions to the ascend and decent? 0:19:15.600 --> 0:19:20.280 They don't. Um, they have both been pretty even killed. 0:19:20.600 --> 0:19:23.560 But you know, they say sucking on something I've I've 0:19:23.640 --> 0:19:26.240 nursed my kids and I usually try to do that 0:19:26.240 --> 0:19:28.040 on take off or landing. But they say you can 0:19:28.040 --> 0:19:29.800 also give them, you know, like a lollipop. I have 0:19:29.840 --> 0:19:32.520 some friends to give their kids lollipops or that's brilliant 0:19:32.560 --> 0:19:35.440 because a lot of times cry the most with the 0:19:35.440 --> 0:19:38.120 they can't regulate their ears going up and going down. 0:19:38.160 --> 0:19:47.879 And that's Have you ever had negative run ins with 0:19:47.920 --> 0:19:50.520 fellow passengers, because I just had my first one and 0:19:50.600 --> 0:19:53.920 it was a fucking nightmare. I haven't. Actually, I think 0:19:53.960 --> 0:19:56.360 most people have been pretty nice. I mean you get 0:19:56.400 --> 0:19:59.760 some like some sour looks. I'm sure with my son 0:19:59.840 --> 0:20:01.520 through up. You know, when there was an hour left 0:20:01.520 --> 0:20:04.960 to go, people were not necessarily but I didn't even 0:20:05.000 --> 0:20:06.760 look because I mean, what can I do. It's like 0:20:07.080 --> 0:20:11.000 doing I You guys was away over Christmas? Did I 0:20:11.040 --> 0:20:14.520
