1
00:00:00,280 --> 00:00:04,360
Speaker 1: Jewell and Woody podcast many Right now, we're asking on

2
00:00:04,440 --> 00:00:07,280
Speaker 1: thirteen one oh sixty five is it selfish to have

3
00:00:07,400 --> 00:00:10,160
Speaker 1: kids at an old age? And by old age, I'm

4
00:00:10,160 --> 00:00:14,680
Speaker 1: probably saying over seventy seventy five. And I'm asking the

5
00:00:14,720 --> 00:00:17,880
Speaker 1: question because Robert de Niro announced in an interview recently

6
00:00:17,920 --> 00:00:19,920
Speaker 1: that he's just welcomed his seventh child at the age

7
00:00:19,920 --> 00:00:20,560
Speaker 1: of seventy nine.

8
00:00:21,000 --> 00:00:24,520
Speaker 2: I know you have six kids, Shavan, Actually I just

9
00:00:24,560 --> 00:00:25,200
Speaker 2: had a baby.

10
00:00:27,200 --> 00:00:28,600
Speaker 3: Congratulations.

11
00:00:28,880 --> 00:00:30,560
Speaker 1: I'd say the argument as to why that would be

12
00:00:30,600 --> 00:00:35,080
Speaker 1: selfish is that child now is more likely to lose

13
00:00:35,159 --> 00:00:39,839
Speaker 1: their parent early in their life because he's seventy nine. Yeah,

14
00:00:39,840 --> 00:00:41,479
Speaker 1: I mean truth, he might live to one hundred and ten,

15
00:00:41,520 --> 00:00:43,840
Speaker 1: who knows, but he's a better chance of passing away sooner.

16
00:00:44,280 --> 00:00:46,559
Speaker 3: I think the only thing to think about here is like,

17
00:00:46,880 --> 00:00:49,640
Speaker 3: this kid's going to be financially taken care of, true,

18
00:00:49,680 --> 00:00:50,960
Speaker 3: do you know what I mean? Like, I think that

19
00:00:51,600 --> 00:00:53,440
Speaker 3: can get a bit selfish when it's like I'm having

20
00:00:53,479 --> 00:00:55,400
Speaker 3: a seventh kid and they're all living off the sniff

21
00:00:55,440 --> 00:00:57,760
Speaker 3: of an oily rag and I'm about to die and

22
00:00:57,800 --> 00:01:01,480
Speaker 3: I'm about to die leave with It's that's not you know,

23
00:01:01,880 --> 00:01:03,880
Speaker 3: the way to go, I think. But they're about to

24
00:01:03,880 --> 00:01:06,120
Speaker 3: inhabit inherit a seventh of the de niro.

25
00:01:06,360 --> 00:01:10,480
Speaker 1: War chest, which I imagine is quite a chestymyng.

26
00:01:11,680 --> 00:01:14,240
Speaker 3: Let's go to It's not edibles mate.

27
00:01:14,800 --> 00:01:18,399
Speaker 1: Elizabeth on Thursday and one oh six five. Elizabeth, what's

28
00:01:18,440 --> 00:01:20,080
Speaker 1: your thoughts on this? Is it selfish to have kids

29
00:01:20,120 --> 00:01:21,000
Speaker 1: at an old age?

30
00:01:21,560 --> 00:01:26,280
Speaker 4: It is absolutely regardless of money. I'm sure children want

31
00:01:26,560 --> 00:01:31,000
Speaker 4: love and affection and time with their family and the

32
00:01:31,080 --> 00:01:34,880
Speaker 4: only people that you feel truly protected by your parents.

33
00:01:35,840 --> 00:01:37,600
Speaker 3: It was all about the cash, Elizabeth.

34
00:01:38,440 --> 00:01:42,520
Speaker 5: Which would you also argue, Elizabeth that maybe given a

35
00:01:42,600 --> 00:01:44,840
Speaker 5: year seventy nine and I'm not sure what the dexterity

36
00:01:44,959 --> 00:01:47,400
Speaker 5: or energy levels of Robert de Niro's like, but he

37
00:01:47,480 --> 00:01:50,440
Speaker 5: probably can't be the active father going into his eighties

38
00:01:50,480 --> 00:01:50,880
Speaker 5: as well.

39
00:01:50,920 --> 00:01:51,840
Speaker 1: Is that a fair comment?

40
00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:55,840
Speaker 4: Well, most definitely. And that's another factor. Well, if he's

41
00:01:55,840 --> 00:01:58,000
Speaker 4: not going to be active, he's not going to be there.

42
00:01:58,080 --> 00:02:01,160
Speaker 4: And if he's going to he said earlier that he's

43
00:02:01,160 --> 00:02:03,280
Speaker 4: going to be that the child's going to be nineteen

44
00:02:03,400 --> 00:02:08,079
Speaker 4: or twenty when he's nineteen seventy nine. Yeah, so the

45
00:02:08,160 --> 00:02:09,080
Speaker 4: child will be eleven.

46
00:02:09,560 --> 00:02:12,400
Speaker 1: Ah, Sorry, my maths my maths was a bit off there.

47
00:02:12,480 --> 00:02:14,720
Speaker 3: Nice Elizabeth. I love that making a big bit of

48
00:02:14,720 --> 00:02:18,240
Speaker 3: a whack is there? She didn't even that wasn't even

49
00:02:18,440 --> 00:02:20,160
Speaker 3: she wasn't answering the question. Then she just came on

50
00:02:20,240 --> 00:02:22,000
Speaker 3: to correct you, which I respect the hell out of.

51
00:02:22,040 --> 00:02:25,160
Speaker 1: I think her point though, was eleven when he's nineties,

52
00:02:25,200 --> 00:02:28,320
Speaker 1: that's really young to be losing your dad. Eleven years old.

53
00:02:28,400 --> 00:02:31,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, but I'll say it again, like better to have loved,

54
00:02:31,840 --> 00:02:33,400
Speaker 3: loved and lost than never loved at all.

55
00:02:34,080 --> 00:02:35,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, because you know what I mean, like if he

56
00:02:35,480 --> 00:02:37,800
Speaker 1: chooses not to have babies, then that baby doesn't exist.

57
00:02:37,919 --> 00:02:40,760
Speaker 3: And also yeah, I mean, as I said, even if

58
00:02:40,760 --> 00:02:42,679
Speaker 3: you have lost a parent, I'm sure all those people

59
00:02:42,720 --> 00:02:44,440
Speaker 3: would say they were glad that they had that parent

60
00:02:44,480 --> 00:02:45,680
Speaker 3: for however long they had them.

61
00:02:46,040 --> 00:02:48,520
Speaker 1: Right, it's a good point. Let's go to Dorothy here, Dorothy,

62
00:02:48,560 --> 00:02:50,720

63

66
00:03:00,600 --> 00:03:03,280
Speaker 2: was seventy once, and I can tell you you have

67
00:03:03,360 --> 00:03:06,800
Speaker 2: far more invested parents when they're older versus younger I feel.

68
00:03:06,919 --> 00:03:11,800
Speaker 1: Oh wow, so you're you're very happy with the time

69
00:03:11,880 --> 00:03:12,680
Speaker 1: you got with your.

70
00:03:12,600 --> 00:03:16,560
Speaker 2: Dad and the learning that you get from an older

71
00:03:16,600 --> 00:03:21,560
Speaker 2: parent versus a younger parent. Yes, patience, yes, yeah.

72
00:03:21,760 --> 00:03:24,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, you haven't got him in their tumultuous thirties and

73
00:03:24,080 --> 00:03:27,400
Speaker 3: they're still trying to cling on to a golden age

74
00:03:27,400 --> 00:03:29,280
Speaker 3: which is slowly receding.

75
00:03:28,919 --> 00:03:32,640
Speaker 4: Before financially secure.

76
00:03:33,160 --> 00:03:37,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, exactly. Yeah, I'm not projecting all there. Interesting.

77
00:03:37,560 --> 00:03:39,120
Speaker 3: Is there a part of sorry, can I go back

78
00:03:39,120 --> 00:03:42,960
Speaker 3: to Dorothy very quickly? Dorothy, can I ask a very

79
00:03:42,960 --> 00:03:43,760
Speaker 3: personal question?

80
00:03:44,560 --> 00:03:44,760
Speaker 1: Yeah?

81
00:03:44,920 --> 00:03:46,560
Speaker 3: Okay, how old are you at the moment?

82
00:03:47,360 --> 00:03:48,119
Speaker 2: I'm forty one?

83
00:03:48,200 --> 00:03:50,000
Speaker 3: Okay, so is there a part of you that, like,

84
00:03:50,080 --> 00:03:52,080
Speaker 3: have you got kids yet? Yeah?

85
00:03:52,120 --> 00:03:54,320
Speaker 2: So I actually had my first child at thirty nine.

86
00:03:54,400 --> 00:03:57,160
Speaker 3: Oh great, I love that. I love first of all,

87
00:03:57,200 --> 00:04:00,680
Speaker 3: congratulations because I mean, I particularly with clocks and all

88
00:04:00,680 --> 00:04:03,200
Speaker 3: these sorts of things that's I know that's increasingly difficult

89
00:04:03,200 --> 00:04:06,200
Speaker 3: as you get into your thing. It's massive women. Yeah,

90
00:04:06,520 --> 00:04:08,120
Speaker 3: obviously it's different for men than it is for women.

91
00:04:08,120 --> 00:04:09,760
Speaker 3: It is my point. So, like, you know, it's a

92
00:04:09,840 --> 00:04:12,840
Speaker 3: nice thing to say, great to be a mature, you know, parent,

93
00:04:12,960 --> 00:04:14,560
Speaker 3: but for women you just can't do that as you

94
00:04:14,560 --> 00:04:16,520
Speaker 3: get older because your body just can't do it anymore.

95
00:04:17,040 --> 00:04:19,839
Speaker 3: So it is interesting for men. It's like, this is

96
00:04:19,880 --> 00:04:21,760
Speaker 3: really a luxury for men to be able to turn

97
00:04:21,800 --> 00:04:23,360
Speaker 3: over at seventy nine and be like, you know what,

98
00:04:23,400 --> 00:04:26,360
Speaker 3: I might, you know, take the bails off one more time.

99
00:04:26,400 --> 00:04:28,400
Speaker 1: I think Charlie Chaplin had a baby in his nineties.

100
00:04:28,520 --> 00:04:30,600
Speaker 1: Jesus Christ, some one fact check that, but I'm pretty

101
00:04:30,600 --> 00:04:35,320
Speaker 1: sure Chaplain track the leg over in his nineties, which

102
00:04:35,360 --> 00:04:36,080
Speaker 1: is totally wild.

103
00:04:37,440 --> 00:04:37,880
Speaker 3: Yeah.

104
00:04:37,960 --> 00:04:40,239
Speaker 1: Yeah, let's go to Mabel here to finish things off.

105
00:04:40,360 --> 00:04:42,200
Speaker 3: So we can ask you one more question here, Robert

106
00:04:42,240 --> 00:04:44,080
Speaker 3: and here, Yeah, you one more question, and I'll get

107
00:04:44,080 --> 00:04:46,719
Speaker 3: Mabel's thoughts as well. Mabel, you don't think it's selfish

108
00:04:46,760 --> 00:04:50,039
Speaker 3: to have kids at the age of seventy nine. No,

109
00:04:50,160 --> 00:04:50,680
Speaker 3: I don't.

110
00:04:50,880 --> 00:04:55,599
Speaker 4: I have you know, I have a son, he's nineteen months.

111
00:04:55,760 --> 00:04:58,120
Speaker 4: And yeah, I don't think it's selfish at all, because

112
00:04:58,200 --> 00:05:01,240
Speaker 4: I think anyone can die at any age, so I

113
00:05:01,279 --> 00:05:02,159
Speaker 4: don't think it's selfy.

114
00:05:02,279 --> 00:05:05,320
Speaker 3: That's exactly right. That's a really good point. So maybe

115
00:05:05,360 --> 00:05:06,960
Speaker 3: you can answer this if you choose to, I'm gonna
