Speaker 1: I shipped my pants last night. Do you want to
Speaker 1: hear the story? Do you want to hear the story? Okay,
Speaker 1: So here's the story. I had to take my car
Speaker 1: to the shop and then it was a night drop.
Speaker 1: So you fill out the form, you put your key
Speaker 1: in the box, and you drop it through the slot.
Speaker 1: Forgot to lock my car. Golf clubs in the trunk,
Speaker 1: like nice golf clubs, and it's like, sits there in
Speaker 1: the lot overnight. It's not locked up gated. So I
Speaker 1: went back after the boy Scout cookoff with my spare
Speaker 1: key batteries dead, so I could not lock. So I'm like,
Speaker 1: I know there's a way to lock the car. So
Speaker 1: I'm sitting there in the empty parking lot. I got
Speaker 1: my running car over here, my car over here, and
Speaker 1: I'm looking through the owner's man, Oh god, I gotta go.
Speaker 1: Oh god. And there's nowhere around. Yeah, there's nowhere around.
Speaker 1: And so I'm like, what do I do? Oh God,
Speaker 1: I'm not. I said, there's no way I'm going to
Speaker 1: make it the five to ten minute drive home.
Speaker 2: Oh no.
Speaker 1: So I found some napkins in the back of my
Speaker 1: car and I ran over into some weeds and trees.
Speaker 1: There was nobody around.
Speaker 2: No, you did it.
Speaker 1: I did, and I ran over in the weeds and trees.
Speaker 1: There's nobody around. I was going to do it right
Speaker 1: there between the cars, but then I thought, well, not
Speaker 1: in the pavement the ground. No, and there's probably security cameras.
Speaker 1: I went between the reeds and the trees and I
Speaker 1: did my thing right there on the ground. Now, it's
Speaker 1: not a place where anybody would ever go. It's like,
Speaker 1: you know, you think of a weedy tree area that
Speaker 1: nobody ever goes into.
Speaker 2: No one even goes in there with like the lawnmower.
Speaker 1: Never, no, no, no. So I was fine, and I
Speaker 1: did my thing with the napkins, threw them in the dumpster.
Speaker 1: Oh god, and it was awful. I go home and
Speaker 1: I tell my wife this story. Yeah, she is howling
Speaker 1: with laughter. How Susan doesn't have the best sense of humor,
Speaker 1: but anything about poop she will die. So I'm like,
Speaker 1: I'm going upstairs and going to take a shower. So
Speaker 1: there's my story. I shipped my pants last night. I'm
Speaker 1: glad you laught so sorry.
Speaker 3: I just oh no, I was concerned I was gonna
Speaker 3: ship my pants last night because I ate my leftover
Speaker 3: salad from Thursday night last week. I had put it
Speaker 3: out on the counter to bring it into work on
Speaker 3: Friday to eat it for lunch.
Speaker 1: And we were worried that it sat on the.
Speaker 3: Counter and it was bad, right, so it cause it
Speaker 3: sauted on the counter for like four and a half hours,
Speaker 3: and I raced home after the show to go put
Speaker 3: it back in my fridge. And last night I was like,
Speaker 3: I'm going to risk it. I'm going to eat it.
Speaker 3: And I didn't necessarily get sick. I got like a
Speaker 3: little kind of thing, but I think it was just
Speaker 3: my brain making me sick because I was I was
Speaker 3: convinced I was going to get well.
Speaker 1: By that time. Thursday was the salad, Friday, Saturday, Sunday,
Speaker 1: then Monday night. So it had third Friday, Saturday Sunday.
Speaker 3: Four or five days or four days ago, four days
Speaker 3: ago plus four hours sitting out on the counter.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but I didn't get sick.
Speaker 1: You didn't get sick. You just kind of mentally thought
Speaker 1: you might.
Speaker 3: Yeah, And so I made myself a little bit sick,
Speaker 3: but I was fine. And I think I wonder if
Speaker 3: I have like a pretty strong stomach. Because Jenny also
Speaker 3: gets mad at me because I eat yogurt that has
Speaker 3: like mold on the outside of the container, but it's yogurt.
Speaker 2: Yogurt is moldy, Like yogurt is not moldy, but you
Speaker 2: know it's like fermented on purpose.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Now, there is a kmart commercial that goes way
Speaker 1: back and it's talking about how you can get your
Speaker 1: pants shipped to you.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: So I'm going to play this commercial for you. And
Speaker 1: what they're saying is, wait, I shipped my pants. So
Speaker 1: they shipped my pants. But it is when you listen
Speaker 1: to it. I'm gonna play it for you, it sounds
Speaker 1: like they're saying, I shipped my pants. Are you ready? Yeah, okay,
Speaker 1: let me play this for you. Here we go, ship
Speaker 1: my pants right here?
Speaker 2: Ship my pants.
Speaker 1: You're kidding? You can ship your pants right here? You
Speaker 1: hear that I can ship my pants for free?
Speaker 2: Wow? I just may ship my pants.
Speaker 1: Yeah, ship your pants, Billy, you can ship your pants too.
Speaker 2: I can't wait to ship my pants. Dad. I just

Speaker 1: Man, I shipped my pants.
Speaker 2: They went out of business with that. That's perfect.
Speaker 1: I missed k Mart.
Speaker 2: I like that. They threw in the pee like a
Speaker 2: little bit more pronounced.
Speaker 1: Some of those did. Like with my pants. I shipped
Speaker 1: my pants, my pants.
Speaker 2: Pants shipped them from home.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so you can call this episode I shipped my pants,
Speaker 1: shipped my pants. I shipped my pants.
Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 1: All right, let's get on with the emails here on
Speaker 1: the Minnesota Goodbye, let's get started. Good morning, says Aubrey.
Speaker 1: Today on the show, Dave and Bailey talked about what
Speaker 1: kind of dog Dave should get, and Bailey said, get
Speaker 1: a Golden Retriever. Yes. I got a Golden Retriever puppy
Speaker 1: at eight weeks old, and she is so much work
Speaker 1: and she's already seventeen pounds at eleven weeks old. I
Speaker 1: would not recommend a Golden if you don't want a
Speaker 1: big dog. They're beautiful dogs. They're very, very popular, but
Speaker 1: that's a little bit bigger than I would want.
Speaker 2: Yeah, they're pretty sizable.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but I think the one that I'm looking at.
Speaker 1: Bernard is also going to be kind of big. He's
Speaker 1: not going to I think he's two, and I want
Speaker 1: to say, he's forty pounds.
Speaker 2: I feel like when they're two, they're fully grown.
Speaker 1: They are Oh they are, ye for sure. Yeah, So
Speaker 1: he's not going to be a giant dog.
Speaker 2: He's only forty pounds. Yeah, so he's not that big.
Speaker 1: No, I think he's doable. I want to meet him. Yeah.
Speaker 1: And the woman who runs the Mars agency, Mars Agency,
Speaker 1: her name is Ae Me and she was listening to
Speaker 1: the show or heard about it, and so she emailed
Speaker 1: me last night and said, Hey, heard you talking about Bernard.
Speaker 1: Loved to get you in contact with the foster blah
Speaker 1: blah blah. And so I'm waiting to hear back.
Speaker 2: Yeah, how did you find him in the first place?
Speaker 1: Again, Susan found him online?
Speaker 2: Okay, and she was looking.
Speaker 1: Yeah. No, she's very open to the idea of getting
Speaker 1: a dog, okay, but she also some big criteria.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: And the reason is, I'll be honest with you, she
Speaker 1: will do a lot of the work, probably the majority
Speaker 1: of the work, because I work in the morning. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and the first thing you do with a dog is.
Speaker 1: You get up and you take care of the dog.
Speaker 1: You feed the dog, you put the dog outside, you
Speaker 1: water the dog, you whatever, and she will be doing
Speaker 1: a lot of that. She trained Josie to go outside. Yeah,
Speaker 1: when Josie was a little baby girl, we put a
Speaker 1: Christmas bell on the back door, and she taught Josie
Speaker 1: to ring the bell when she wanted to go outside.
Speaker 2: Cool. Yeah, that's really impressive.
Speaker 1: It really was impressive. So thank you, Aubrey. Next email, Hey, y'all,
Speaker 1: how do radio stations pick their letters like KDWB and
Speaker 1: for a fund for fun? Here's bonus. If KDWB was
Speaker 1: an acronym, what do you think it would stand for?
Speaker 1: Killer DJs with balls?
Speaker 2: Killer DJs with balls?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 3: Kind demure go oh I like that? Okay, kind demure
Speaker 3: with Bailey?
Speaker 2: What's up Bailey?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 2: I know for I bet you know more information about it.
Speaker 3: But the K and the W depends on what side
Speaker 3: side of the Mississippi you're on, correct, Yeah, that's all
Speaker 3: I know about it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's true. Everything east is W, everything west is K.
Speaker 2: Yeah. My grandma was always so impressed that we had
Speaker 2: both k's.
Speaker 1: And w's because we straddled the River.
Speaker 2: Yes, in Minnesota.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think the government assigns the call letters, the
Speaker 1: FCC assigns the call letters, but I think you can
Speaker 1: also request them.
Speaker 3: Ooh yeah, yeah, because I guess, like why don't we
Speaker 3: go by you know, like talk in the morning time
Speaker 3: top forty one to one point three, you know, like
Speaker 3: some some radio stations have like a word, you.
Speaker 1: Know, what do you mean, like magic like cities ninety seven.
Speaker 2: Right, But that's not their call letter.
Speaker 1: No, it's KCTZ, which they requested because it kind of
Speaker 1: spells cities kctzk cities.
Speaker 2: So why didn't why don't we have like a word?
Speaker 1: I don't know. I mean, if you looked it up
Speaker 1: on Wikipedia, it's possible that it stood for something. I
Speaker 1: know there's a KDWA in Hastings, and I think there's
Speaker 1: a kdw H or something in Duluth. Oh, so I
Speaker 1: don't know if we were all owned by the same
Speaker 1: company or what.
Speaker 2: But fascinating.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's not really that interesting, but I think you
Speaker 1: can request. But basically it's a radio station license. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so in its essence, it is a licensed You have
Speaker 1: a radio station and they must give you a set
Speaker 1: of call letters.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I looked it up one time because I thought
Speaker 3: it would be interesting, and you're right, it really isn't
Speaker 3: that interesting.
Speaker 1: Next one, Okay, here we go from Dan from Apple Valley.
Speaker 1: Dan says, hello, my friendly dart looking friends, regarding Dave's
Speaker 1: had of vulnerability. Dave, you know that you're not the
Speaker 1: life of the party or Katie WB, but you're the
Speaker 1: glue that holds really strong or freaking balls tight. Thank you,
Speaker 1: Dan from Apple Valley. He says, I want to be
Speaker 1: known as Tripod. We get it.
Speaker 2: Okay.
Speaker 1: That means his wang is so big. Yeah. So here's
Speaker 1: a funny little story that reminds me. So I read
Speaker 1: a book by Steve Lucather. Now you don't know Steve Lucather,
Speaker 1: but he is the guitar player from Toto and he
Speaker 1: also played on many, many, many songs. He played guitar
Speaker 1: on so many pop songs. He played guitar on Michael
Speaker 1: Jackson's Beat It Dan and then that's him. Yeah, Eddie
Speaker 1: van Halen did the solo, but he did the Dan
Speaker 1: and and and and he did a bunch of other
Speaker 1: songs that you know he And this is a this
Speaker 1: is a dick story. So here we go. So he
Speaker 1: is no longer allowed to speak at Berkeley College of
Speaker 1: Music because he was talking about, you know, like being
Speaker 1: an amazing guitar player, and he's like, yeah, I can
Speaker 1: do all these crazy things on my guitar, and this
Speaker 1: is what he said. He said, But it's like having
Speaker 1: a twenty inch dick. You can show it off, but
Speaker 1: what are you going to do with it? You know? So,
Speaker 1: I mean, it sounds cool to have a twenty inch dick, sure,
Speaker 1: because you pull it out at a party and people like, wow,
Speaker 1: can I get a picture with your dick? But what
Speaker 1: are you going to do with it?
Speaker 2: Nothing, It's just it's just kind of in the way
Speaker 2: at that point.
Speaker 1: It's kind of in the way anyway.
Speaker 2: It's just like you can't speak here anymore, sir.
Speaker 1: If you are into music and music history and you
Speaker 1: remember the eighties like I do, a great book is
Speaker 1: called The Gospel according to Luke, and it's by Steve
Speaker 1: Lukather It's really really good, I think, Dan. Next one
Speaker 1: is from Susan Dave. I'm writing because I was thinking
Speaker 1: about your vulnerable confession today. I'm not sure where you
Speaker 1: received these comments before, but I thought I would share
Speaker 1: my thoughts. So my confession yesterday was kind of a
Speaker 1: vulnerable moment, and I talked about how I'm going to
Speaker 1: tell you the short version because I told the long
Speaker 1: version yesterday on the show. So we were in a
Speaker 1: group station trip to Mexico, and we're hanging out with
Speaker 1: a big, loud group of people whatever, and Steve and
Speaker 1: Fallon and some other people that have come along, and
Speaker 1: so we you know, we were sitting in the lobby
Speaker 1: of the hotel and we were drinking a little bit.
Speaker 1: We weren't drunk, it was still early and I was like, okay, hey,
Speaker 1: we're having a good time. Blah blah blah. And I said,
Speaker 1: I'm kind of socially awkward. I'm never the life of
Speaker 1: the party. I'm always kind of I'm okay, I don't
Speaker 1: sit there looking at my phone and it's scowling, but
Speaker 1: I'm not the life of the party. And so I
Speaker 1: pulled out a board like a card game like Cards
Speaker 1: against Humanities, said hey, you guys want to play a game,
Speaker 1: And one of the girls, who is the life of
Speaker 1: the party said, we're not fucking boy scouts. We're not
Speaker 1: going to play a game. And I felt so small
Speaker 1: and so stupid. Thing to say, and so that was
Speaker 1: my vulnerable moment, and I realized that I don't hang
Speaker 1: well socially in groups. I hang well, but I don't lead.
Speaker 1: So anyway, she said, I was surprised to hear yourself
Speaker 1: describe yourself as not the life of a party or
Speaker 1: as an awkward party guest. As the star of a
Speaker 1: popular radio show, you carry many responsibilities to represent a
Speaker 1: big money making venture, akin to a CEO. I think
Speaker 1: you are incredibly kind to all those you encounter and
Speaker 1: strangers you have to accept on the show. Okay, I
Speaker 1: think I can do that very well.
Speaker 2: Yeah, much like you turn it on, like sometimes you
Speaker 2: have to turn that stuff on.
Speaker 1: And I love it. This is me. This is the
Speaker 1: outgoing version of me, because I'm so comfortable on the
Speaker 1: radio that I can do. I can be awkward on
Speaker 1: purpose on the radio, like and run out of things
Speaker 1: to say and stumble and men make it awkward. I
Speaker 1: can do it on purpose because I'm so comfortable here
Speaker 1: on the radio. The woman that made that terrible comment
Speaker 1: to offer to play a group game was not only
Speaker 1: out of line, she made a terribly disparaging reference to
Speaker 1: a very important US boy Scouts. How dare she call
Speaker 1: them fucking boy scouts. She might have thought she was
Speaker 1: being funny, but you don't call a children's organization using
Speaker 1: a swear word. I listened to your show and enjoyed
Speaker 1: very much. Thank you, Susan. I really appreciate that. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it was just something that stuck with me, you know,
Speaker 1: because in your life, people will say things to you
Speaker 1: that stick with you. And one of my best stories
Speaker 1: is my grandma. When she was five, her mother had
Speaker 1: a friend over, and like any five year old, even
Speaker 1: back in those days, what a five year olds do?
Speaker 1: Say whatever they want, and they get attention, and they
Speaker 1: play and they're goofy and they're and so here's the
Speaker 1: little five year old and her mother is having coffee
Speaker 1: with her friend. And my five year old grandmother was
Speaker 1: being goofy and silly and trying to get attention, and
Speaker 1: her mother said to her, shut up or be quiet.
Speaker 1: Nobody wants to hear what you have to say. Mm.
Speaker 1: And that stuck with my grandma her entire life. And
Speaker 1: so she was shy her entire life because she was
Speaker 1: told that five years old, very formative years, nobody cares
Speaker 1: what you have to say. Is there anything in your
Speaker 1: life where somebody said, Bailey, yeah, you look like your
Speaker 1: cross eyed or you're drunk or anything like that.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: I mean I feel bad because I love my mom
Speaker 3: so much, but a lot of things that my mom
Speaker 3: said when I was a kid have stuck with me
Speaker 3: my whole life. Once she got me like this skirt
Speaker 3: or whatever, and I tried it on and it wouldn't
Speaker 3: go up over my butt, and so I gave it
Speaker 3: back to her and I said, it doesn't fit me.
Speaker 3: And she's like, oh, it's doesn't fit. And then she
Speaker 3: went into her room and she put it on and
Speaker 3: it fit her, and she walked out and she said,
Speaker 3: this is the skirt that doesn't fit you. And I
Speaker 3: think about that a lot. But obviously, like I love
Speaker 3: my mom and sometimes like I have to remind myself
Speaker 3: like all of our parents are going through life the
Speaker 3: first time as well, so like they don't have all
Speaker 3: the answers. My mom's saying like making kind of like
Speaker 3: quips about me being fat or whatever. It's because my
Speaker 3: grandma would make quips about my mom being fat.
Speaker 1: Oh.
Speaker 3: So it's just like is like a cycle that I
Speaker 3: am trying to stop, and it is really hard because
Speaker 3: that just goes with you for the rest of time.
Speaker 3: I just got bullied all the time for how I looked,
Speaker 3: not necessarily by my mom, but like by you know,
Speaker 3: bullies in school and whatever. So I am my self
Speaker 3: confidence is trash in general.
Speaker 1: See, and I tell Bailey all the time sort of
Speaker 1: tongue in cheek. But I say you're kind of hot,
Speaker 1: and I've always thought you're kind of hot.
Speaker 3: That's nice, thank you, because you aren't yeah, beautiful eyes, uglyes.
Speaker 1: Fock and I see, And I don't want to make
Speaker 1: you feel uncomfort but I think you're kind of hot.
Speaker 1: And I think you're actually hotter now than you were
Speaker 1: when I first met you ten years ago.
Speaker 2: Right, Okay, well that's good to know.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't know why you don't believe in yourself.
Speaker 1: I've seen way more unattractive girls than you with tons
Speaker 1: of confidence.
Speaker 3: Well yeah, I would love some, but uh yeah, I
Speaker 3: don't have any, just like your grandma was shy all
Speaker 3: or like I'm going to be an ugly girl.
Speaker 2: On the inside forever.
Speaker 1: Amanda routs in. She says, I've been a longtime fan
Speaker 1: of the show, going all the way back to leave
Speaker 1: Volsvic pat ebers days when the song Men in Black
Speaker 1: came out. You guys did a parody song called Men
Speaker 1: with Gas to the tune of Will Smith's song Men
Speaker 1: in Black? Can you dig that song out of the
Speaker 1: archives and play it? Whenever I hear the Men in
Speaker 1: Black song, I always hear your parody in my head.
Speaker 1: Thanks from Amanda in Waconia.
Speaker 2: I feel like I remember that song here.
Speaker 1: Come the Men with Gas and we played a fart
Speaker 1: sound effect. Yes, and it was not that big of
Speaker 1: a hit song. I don't know if it exists anywhere
Speaker 1: anymore or not.
Speaker 2: That was such a good movie because that was really
Speaker 2: big in my household. It was.
Speaker 1: It was Yeah, it was good Man in Black.
Speaker 2: Wild Wild West.
Speaker 1: They held up the the little pen and they would
Speaker 1: forget everything they just had.
Speaker 2: That's a great movie.
Speaker 1: We had Will Smith in the studio one time, best
Speaker 1: interview we ever did, Wow, And he said, I said, Will,
Speaker 1: how do you know when a movie is working? He's like,
Speaker 1: you know, sometimes you just know, but sometimes it's Wild
Speaker 1: Wild West. And I laughed because he admitted that he
Speaker 1: knew Wild Wild West was not working.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that was a bad movie, but we loved it
Speaker 2: in the house household.
Speaker 1: Okay, good enough.
Speaker 2: We loved it in general.
Speaker 1: Thank you, Amanda, and thank you for listening all these years.
Speaker 1: And I'm sorry I don't have that song to play
Speaker 1: for you.
Speaker 2: Somewhere, deep down somewhere.
Speaker 1: Next one, sir, good morning. Don't say my name. I'm writing.
Speaker 1: After today's podcast you were talking about how it's weird
Speaker 1: not having a social media account because a woman said
Speaker 1: I got dating the guy no social media? Is that
Speaker 1: a red flag? So this email continues and says, hold
Speaker 1: one second, Well, this is why I don't post anything.
Speaker 1: I do have Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat, snapchat, TikTok, so it's
Speaker 1: not like I don't have them. I just don't post
Speaker 1: anything because I have an order of protection on someone
Speaker 1: that I'm afraid will harm me, that has broken my
Speaker 1: nose and knocked out a tooth in the past. My gosh,
Speaker 1: don't feel sorry. I'm in a much much better place
Speaker 1: right now. This person would be that type to look
Speaker 1: on social media to see where I am and then
Speaker 1: show up at that place. So that is why I
Speaker 1: don't post anything on there unless it is a day
Speaker 1: later or maybe hours later, when I've left the area.
Speaker 1: So to me, it's not weird if somebody doesn't have
Speaker 1: an account on social media. I just want to tell
Speaker 1: you guys, that's why I don't do it. Thanks for
Speaker 1: listening and keep doing you and remember tomorrow needs you.
Speaker 1: I never thought about that.
Speaker 2: It's nice.
Speaker 1: Does tomorrow need you?
Speaker 2: It needs you?
Speaker 1: Why does it need me?
Speaker 2: I don't know, because people listen to this radio shows.
Speaker 1: Okay, yeah, all right, here we go. Don't don't say
Speaker 1: my name. I was listening to Bailey's comments on the
Speaker 1: graduation ceremony. Kids on their devices. I am a mom
Speaker 1: of an autistic toddler, and I get very frustrated when
Speaker 1: I constantly see kids on devices. We limit screen time
Speaker 1: to about a movie a week and maybe a couple
Speaker 1: of episodes of shows if we need an extra break.
Speaker 1: My child doesn't own a tablet and they're not going
Speaker 1: to get one there about five and a few months. Yes,
Speaker 1: it is harder to manage your kid without screens, and yes,
Speaker 1: their behavior will be more manageable when on screens in public.
Speaker 1: But I want my kids to grow up understanding boredom,
Speaker 1: be creative, etc. In public. I'm fully prepared with all
Speaker 1: the things to entertain her, and I have an exit
Speaker 1: plan if needed. If she can't sit still. I walk
Speaker 1: around with her. We have coloring books from the library,
Speaker 1: like books on tape of the audio part is built
Speaker 1: into the book, leapfrog books with the interactive pen, small
Speaker 1: portable gangs like Hungry, Hungry Hippos, etc. Sometimes we've got
Speaker 1: to come up with ideas on the fly. At the
Speaker 1: grocery store, my husband had to take her outside and
Speaker 1: they follow the brick all to mimic a maze while
Speaker 1: I was in the long checkout line. The big thing
Speaker 1: is you have to be tuned in to your child
Speaker 1: and pay attention to them. It can take a lot
Speaker 1: out of you, but putting the work in helps a
Speaker 1: lot later. With my kids not screen dependent, she likes
Speaker 1: to play quietly in a room for thirty to forty
Speaker 1: five minutes at her time with her dollhouse and other things.
Speaker 1: Give her a piece of string and she'll build a
Speaker 1: zip line for her toys to ride on. She'll paint
Speaker 1: quietly for thirty minutes on her own and recite books
Speaker 1: from memory while playing. Is my kid easy? No, But
Speaker 1: we've worked hard to make sure she's not addicted to
Speaker 1: screens and have devices controlled her life. If we gave
Speaker 1: in years ago, she'd likely be incredibly overstimulated, unable to
Speaker 1: manage any type of board of boredom, and absolutely wouldn't
Speaker 1: be as advanced socially with her autism diagnosis. I don't
Speaker 1: judge other families because I don't know their kid, I
Speaker 1: don't know their world. I just like showing others. We
Speaker 1: put a ton of work in and have seen many
Speaker 1: good outcomes from it. Get creative when it comes to
Speaker 1: managing your kids in public, and you'd be surprised how
Speaker 1: much closer you will be with them and learn from
Speaker 1: them how to be a kid. Again. I think that's
Speaker 1: so admirable.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I love that.
Speaker 1: I love that in general, there's the easy way, and
Speaker 1: you've definitely done it the more challenging way. And I
Speaker 1: really very much admire that, Yeah.
Speaker 3: Because I mean, when you go into being a parent,
Speaker 3: you're signing up to, you know, parent your child, and
Speaker 3: I feel like screens are the easy way to not
Speaker 3: have to parent your child. And I do really love
Speaker 3: like you're teaching your kid how to have an imagination
Speaker 3: and also you know, getting your imagination in like sense
Speaker 3: of wonder back a little bit. Yeah, by like facilitating
Speaker 3: that for your kid, which I love.
Speaker 2: That's great.
Speaker 3: We did get a lot of text messages last week
Speaker 3: saying like, well, I have an autistic child, so they
Speaker 3: need the screen in order to you know, function.
Speaker 2: I'm thinking, but like, every single screen can't belong to
Speaker 2: someone who like needs it. It's just that here take
Speaker 2: this so you don't have a meltdown.
Speaker 1: Well true, Yeah, yeah, I remember the first time I
Speaker 1: was ever exposed to that was when screens were new ish,
Speaker 1: maybe ten years ago. We were at ikes over in Minnetonka,
Speaker 1: and we're sitting there at the table next to us
Speaker 1: is it's family. They're all gathered around. A kid about
Speaker 1: eight years old, got the screen and headphones on. And
Speaker 1: I went on the radio the next day and I said, yeah,
Speaker 1: I just couldn't believe I'd never seen that before. I
Speaker 1: couldn't believe that they, you know, were letting their kid
Speaker 1: watch a movie or whatever during the restaurant family time.
Speaker 1: And I got roasted by people saying he might have
Speaker 1: been autistic, and I'm like, he might have been, but
Speaker 1: he might not have been. Yeah, but I think that's
Speaker 1: the tendency, is to give everybody an excuse that they
Speaker 1: might be autisted.
Speaker 2: Right.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I was gonna make a joke about Bailey being
Speaker 1: on the spectrum right now, but it probably wouldn't go
Speaker 1: over very well.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean I probably am.
Speaker 1: There's no question. When I was a kid there was
Speaker 1: no such thing as autism diagnosis on the spectrum. There was,
Speaker 1: but we didn't know it. I would bet a million
Speaker 1: dollars that if my mom and dad would have had
Speaker 1: me tested, I would have absolutely tested for something.
Speaker 3: You probably have at least ADHD. I feel like so
Speaker 3: many people have possibly yeah, yeah, and don't realize it.
Speaker 3: I'm sure I do, But I am undiagnosed.
Speaker 1: You don't seem to you seem like you can hold
Speaker 1: a steady course and you know when to act this
Speaker 1: way and know when to act that way. Yeah.
Speaker 2: But I have like a lot of laundry sitting on
Speaker 2: my couch for the last week and a half.
Speaker 1: And there that That's probably it. Last one. I just
Speaker 1: want to say I love to listen in the Morning
