00:00:30,760 --> 00:00:32,720
Speaker 1: It was good to have better aspirations as well, rather

14
00:00:32,720 --> 00:00:38,680

00:00:57,760 --> 00:00:59,920
Speaker 1: it toorrow. They should have to just sit with the concert.

23
00:01:01,280 --> 00:01:03,400
Speaker 1: Why are we now sting this role? On the eve

24
00:01:03,480 --> 00:01:06,000

00:01:06,200 --> 00:01:08,200
Speaker 1: all that stuff you got for Mother's Day, you have

26
00:01:08,240 --> 00:01:10,679
Speaker 1: got nothing unless I had to go out and actually

27
00:01:10,760 --> 00:01:12,880
Speaker 1: buy it. They didn't get you a single thing. Oh

28
00:01:12,920 --> 00:01:15,160
Speaker 1: but the candle, the story went. I told them to

29
00:01:15,200 --> 00:01:17,600
Speaker 1: tell you that you would have never had a single.

30
00:01:17,360 --> 00:01:19,000
Speaker 2: Gift, So you write the meaning behind it.

31
00:01:19,200 --> 00:01:21,640
Speaker 1: I have to sell them into a story. It takes

32
00:01:21,680 --> 00:01:24,440
Speaker 1: weeks of production the thing. I said, So why on

33
00:01:24,560 --> 00:01:27,039
Speaker 1: the eve of my one this no more thing? So

34
00:01:27,080 --> 00:01:29,440
Speaker 1: I'm going to get nothing and weren't going to sit

35
00:01:29,480 --> 00:01:33,280
Speaker 1: in some awkward standoff on my father's Day? Why did

36
00:01:33,319 --> 00:01:34,680
Speaker 1: we start this at the beginning of the year.

37
00:01:34,720 --> 00:01:36,240
Speaker 2: Do you think if he was left afpter them? Because

38
00:01:36,240 --> 00:01:38,760
Speaker 2: they're almost adults now, you know, in their mid teen.

39
00:01:39,600 --> 00:01:42,200
Speaker 1: If that's what adults says, the world is screwed.

40
00:01:44,800 --> 00:01:48,040
Speaker 2: Screw you think they will get you nothing.

41
00:01:49,480 --> 00:01:52,800
Speaker 1: Percause they got the teenagers. It's all about them and

42
00:01:52,840 --> 00:01:55,240
Speaker 1: it has to be so anyway, my wife said, fine, fine,

43
00:01:55,240 --> 00:01:57,600
Speaker 1: when I have got you something, you know, I didn't

44
00:01:57,600 --> 00:01:59,559
Speaker 1: even know if they're going to wrap it up. I said, okay,

45
00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:03,440
Speaker 1: So Anyway, fast forward to Father's Day. I am now

46
00:02:03,640 --> 00:02:06,360
Speaker 1: super excited about Father's Day because I know it's going

47
00:02:06,400 --> 00:02:08,360
Speaker 1: to be some drama and an argument between the three

48
00:02:08,400 --> 00:02:10,840
Speaker 1: of them. Of course there is straight away the kids

49
00:02:11,120 --> 00:02:13,000
Speaker 1: picked this thing up, but by the way, they forgot

50
00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:15,600
Speaker 1: there was even a gift. I saw the gift wrapped.

51
00:02:16,160 --> 00:02:18,280
Speaker 1: They sat down and just handed me their cards, and

52
00:02:18,320 --> 00:02:20,440
Speaker 1: I left a gap, and then there was like looks

53
00:02:20,440 --> 00:02:23,000
Speaker 1: between my wife and then and they went, oh, oh

54
00:02:23,800 --> 00:02:26,840
Speaker 1: almost my point notes over there went this is already

55
00:02:26,880 --> 00:02:29,880
Speaker 1: amazing favorite Father's Day. They have it the wrong way.

56
00:02:29,960 --> 00:02:32,480
Speaker 1: My wife goes, no, it's and twist something up. It

57
00:02:32,480 --> 00:02:35,040
Speaker 1: looks like a lampshade. I open it up and it's

58
00:02:35,120 --> 00:02:37,840
Speaker 1: clearly not from them. First thing is something which I'm

59
00:02:37,840 --> 00:02:41,600
Speaker 1: super excited about. It's a fireproof leather apron for when

60
00:02:41,600 --> 00:02:44,880
Speaker 1: I'm using the smoking. Super excited about that. It's got

61
00:02:44,919 --> 00:02:47,639
Speaker 1: a big pouch at the front. It's fireproof, right, I

62
00:02:47,720 --> 00:02:50,280
Speaker 1: kept telling people that this is fireproof. The other thing

63
00:02:50,360 --> 00:02:53,360
Speaker 1: was some pot that you would stand a chicken on

64
00:02:53,400 --> 00:02:55,880
Speaker 1: the top of and I can put in the smoker.

65
00:02:56,280 --> 00:02:58,600
Speaker 1: Not being picked by the kids. Then they give me

66
00:02:58,639 --> 00:03:01,480
Speaker 1: their homemade cards and he's two beautiful paintings that they've

67
00:03:01,480 --> 00:03:03,200
Speaker 1: done as well, which is really really nice, better than

68
00:03:03,200 --> 00:03:05,600
Speaker 1: any gift. Then open up one of the cards from

00:03:05,880 --> 00:03:08,359
Speaker 1: Lowis the almost fifteen year old, and I could tell

71
00:03:10,919 --> 00:03:13,320
Speaker 1: thank you for this, and it looked like she'd got

00:03:39,800 --> 00:03:43,680
Speaker 1: year right there. I'm like, we're over that. Thank you

Speaker 1: Let's talk about that riding your bike again. Flash back

87
00:03:56,120 --> 00:04:00,320
Speaker 1: to two thousand and nine. Then the last or us

88
00:04:00,400 --> 00:04:02,240
Speaker 1: I think this is a compliment. I'll take it as

89
00:04:02,280 --> 00:04:04,880
Speaker 1: a compliment, well, simply thank you for not being a normal,

90
00:04:04,920 --> 00:04:07,800
Speaker 1: boring dad. Yeah, but perhaps all I keep to hear

91
00:04:07,880 --> 00:04:11,280
Speaker 1: is the word normal. So what does that mean? Thank

92
00:04:11,320 --> 00:04:15,560
