Speaker 1 (00:07):
The head off the feet of piano ground, no Fight
(00:28):
Club member Iclon, It's the Pixies. Where is my my?
I don't associate that song with the Fight Club. Um,
but I guess I'm just not at Edward Norton, head
of such a Norton head, ed head, ed head Marvel
(00:48):
cinematic universe really went downhill after he left. In what role?
He was the Incredible Hulk before Mark Ruffalo took over
m H. Considering I have zero memory of him as
the Hulk and a much stronger one of Mark Ruffalo,
I would say Mark Ruffalo is doing a better job.
Oh yeah, Well, Iron Man came out and the second
(01:10):
one was Edward Norton's Incredible Hulk, but everyone mixes it
up with Angle's Hulk that had just come out, and
then they that's in the Marvel anyway. Anyway, you're listening
to Marvel Heads the Marvel podcast. We started this was
a sound check that turned into a really dumb this
(01:31):
is the dumbest intro too high, this is we know
his parenting. I'm Peter. There's not enough people rambling about
Marvel movies out there. Finally got in here into this
pod secretly, Big Big fan. It's not a very controversial
thing to that. The most shameful secret thing about you,
(01:53):
your love of Marvel is how many times I've If
there's one thing about men and Marvel, it's that I
wish they weren't so himed of it. Like talk about it,
tell us more about it is like tell us when
you're headed to the next movie and what you think
of it afterwards, and whether it lived up to your expectations,
which are always high. Um. I went in with my
(02:16):
expectations high. Today we're just going to be a comic
book movie review podcast. What do you think that? What
do you think of Joker? Didn't see it? Oh? That's right,
What did you think of any other one? You didn't
see it? Um? Um, well you're one. You're one. Love
of superhero movies is very Chris Pratt based Chris Pratt, No,
(02:43):
my one love of superhero Did you love the Guardians movies?
I like them? Okay, you associate them with me much
more strongly than as normal, because I went into labor
after seeing the first one. You love them, You love
them so much to your body was like, let's have
a baby anyway. Well, like I can't wait to bring
a child into a world where Chris Pratt talks to
(03:06):
a tree. I am we are groot. This is a
parenting podcast. And that was a segue into a parenting
related thing just a little bit. So Beth Week and review. Um,
I need to tell you something that happened. So brit
we signed Brent up for an after school class. He
(03:27):
does after school, um every day, but we sign up
for a class on Mondays and it's his like nature
Explorers club, and so he has only done it once,
I think, and then there was a holiday, so today
he was supposed to do a second one. I get
to him out of the car and I found a
(03:49):
rubber plastic glob glove in his bag, like a like
a surgeon's glove. And I was like, Britton, where did
this come from? He goes, oh, from my cooking class.
I was like, oh my god. Wait. And apparently when
they were like, alright, cooking class this way, he just
went to the cooking class and they were like they said,
(04:09):
and he's like, they said I could stay because his
class had clearly left and gone to the woods. Oh
my god. And so he just got to do the
cooking class and he he's like I loved it, and
he's like, I want to do it again. I was like, well,
we didn't. We can do that next time, but we
didn't pay for it. But he might just crash the
rest of it. I mean, good for him. I I
(04:33):
whenever I get too worried about my parenting with him
and where he's going, I have to remember that he's
just gonna find a way. Like where he wants to go,
he's just there, he goes. He's got very big Leo energy.
He just can't. He won't. He won't not do something.
You have to get the point where you're threatening him
(04:55):
with the removal of television privileges. He wanted to carve
the pumpkin and it was ten minutes before bedtime. So
I'm like, we can't do it, and he goes, well,
I'm gonna draw on the pumpkin. I go, no, we'll
do it tomorrow night. We'll do it all together. He goes, okay,
but I'm gonna draw in the pumpkin. And I didn't
(05:16):
have the energy to get the stern. And I was like,
brand no. And you can hear it if I go
brand no. He's like, Daddy doesn't mean it. So I
was like, God, damn you for making me no, And
then we finally compromise. I was like, get three pieces
of paper, draw three designs, and we'll talk about it.
So he did. Then we FaceTime to your parents and
(05:38):
he showed them and he had He goes, please pick
the best one, and then your mom picked the one
that he didn't want her to pick. He goes, not
not that one, pick one of these two, and then
she picked the vampire and goes great, and then maybe.
And I kept talking to them as Bryan went to
the pumpkin to start drawing it onto the pumpkin, and
(05:59):
I was so mad because I said, no, like ten times,
you are funny about this kind of thing, because when Okay,
so we got this Trader Joe's Halloween gingerbread house that
we're decorating, and he's doing it and you're and he
was looking the picture and wanted to replicate the way
it was decorating the picture, and you were like, you
were like, no, this is our gingerbread house. We decorated
(06:21):
how we want to. We don't have to do the picture.
And you start like forcing him to switch gears and
you start putting things on the gingerbread house, and then
as soon as okay, but then as soon as he
starts like doing his own thing and trying to like
put the ghost on, you were like, no, we can't
put that there, like you were you like switched gears,
(06:42):
and you just wanted to micromanage. He was trying to
put the ghosts on the top of the house where
it would fall down. Well it was on there and
it didn't fall down. No, I know he wanted to
balance the on the tip top, on the tippy top,
like standing on the on the point of the house.
So I think we had a nice compromise. But you're
(07:03):
not wrong that when I get into a project with them,
I enjoy myself. You're just like, but I understand, Like
I mean, I am this way with the sthetic things.
I want things to look nice. So it does drive
me a little crazy. But if I bought a pumpkin
for the kids to carve, there's also part of me
that's like, well, this is gonna be whatever they wanted
(07:24):
to be, Like, it's not right. Well, I just didn't
want him to buy himself scribble all over the pumpkin.
I wanted to include Maven, and I want us all
to sit down and like, do the pumpkin megain? Well,
I guess in my mind I was already thinking, like,
we probably need to buy another pumpkin. I just lugd
that one home because it was like in front of
me at the supermarket and I was like, we need
a pumpkin. That's fair. Well, We're gonna do a big
(07:46):
thing tomorrow night, I promised, UM, a big thing. Big.
We're gonna make up a big old'n be a big
old pumpkin night. Nice Peter Peter Pumpkin Carver. I have
never made a Peter Peter pumpkin eater joke about myself
in thirty seven years until tonight. Never. I would really
(08:09):
hate it, even sitting on a gold mine of jokes. Um.
They called me Petrie the portable party in fourth grade.
So should we talk about our weekend which was very spooky.
Oh my gosh, let's talk about our spooky weekend. Go
for we had the halloweeniest weekend ever. It was the
weeniest because the weeniest we went to the elementary school
(08:33):
scare fare which for Britain and did not twice. This
weekend did not prepare um optimally in terms of the
amount of cash we would need on hand. Okay, if
you're throwing a fundraiser for the whole school in the
form of a fun scare fare, somebody should get the
Square app on their iPhone and get some demo payments
(08:57):
or whatever so that g de cash machine. We want
a fundraise, but we're tired and we don't have more
than sixty dollars in our wallet. Anyway, we survived, but
we got We had just enough for them to get
tickets and a wristband and then literally one dollar left
(09:18):
for snacks and lunch. Yeah, and we had better kids lunch.
The only way I could feed brand. I could feed
Brind was to have him do the eat a doughnut
from a string game and spotted you doing that, and then,
as the mastermind that I am, I was like, this
is my chance to bring mabon over to the cupcake
decorating table. We'll get them both loaded up on sugar
(09:40):
so they don't see what each other is doing. I
specifically took bring too the donut thing, and I was like,
maybe he's not going to say this. Well, there was
limited things for her to do for her age, and
one of them was decorated cupcake. So yeah, mostly activities
were throw a ball into a hole, which neither of
them are capable of. Yeah, Maven is more coordinated. They
(10:03):
had so they had a little miniature golf thing set
up and Maven was like killing it. She she has
better hand eye hole than one. She has a better
hand eye coordination, like she like she was writing tonight
when I walked in. And when I walked in the door,
and Brince said what's her name and then proceeded to
(10:24):
try to take my order or something on a piece
of paper, Maven was also trying to write stuff down,
and she was like, um, how do you spell your name?
And then I would be like b E. And then
she would be like, so what's an E look like? Again?
And I have to like explain it to her verbally
and she would figure it out. She has she has
(10:45):
caught up pretty quick on her letters in the last sight. Yeah,
but that's what I'm saying a couple of weeks ago
about how she's just has a different like learning focuses
than Brent, where she's like a tactile learner, Like if
she's trying to spell my name, she's going to figure
it out, whereas Bryn, he was just happy to perform
the alphabet for you. You know, it's totally true, Maven.
(11:08):
They I always try to follow their excitement and their focus.
If I'm doing a good job, and Bryn, if he
locks into a thing, you can explain a lot to
him and he will go with you. But it's maybe
you have to follow where where her interest is um,
because she's not gonna like yeah she yeah, I think
(11:31):
she has to pick up a thing she has anyway,
so scared for He also had a little haunted house
which I didn't go through, but you witness. So we're
walking up and this lady is like, do you guys
want the scary version or the not so scary version?
And she's talking all these little kids who are just
like standing there scared, and they're like She's like, okay,
(11:51):
not scary, and like she's and she keeps me like
not scary is that we leave the lights on? And
like she's like directing all these kids. So the big
kids are lining up on one side, little kids on
the other side for the not scary version, And then
they were telling us, they were like you can meet
them on the other side, just go around over there,
and I'm like, my daughters three. Yeah, We're like, are
(12:12):
we okay to sending them in there? We have no
idea what's happening. We went out and immediately it was
like I'm going back in there. So your protective instinct
kicked in and you were like, I have to see
this through. So you walked through with them, and it
was It was not scary in the way a haunted
house is scary, but socially scary in the way that
(12:35):
is like, what is happening? Very scary. We go into
the corner of a gymnasium covered in tarps and the
lights are fully on and they're standing in a row.
Are twenty third graders dressed in horrific makeup. Two are
(12:55):
lying on the ground. What the first thing you see
as a kid lying on the ground with a screen
mask on, just like looking up at you and like reaching.
He's on his stomach and the lights are fully on,
nobody's hidden, the music is not very loud, and like
there's an adult behind them just watching everyone. And Maven's
(13:18):
walking through it, going this is the most terrifying thing
I've ever seen. It's just twenty strangers staring, it's like
and they're like halfheartedly like being scary, but they can
tell this is awkward with the lights on, and these
are very small children, so we got through their real
(13:38):
quick and I was like, was that scary and Maven's
like yes, yeah, So that was a scary fair. And
then we went to uh the Halloween costume parade downtown,
which this was a step up. We found out about
like an hour before it was happening. Are another parent
(13:59):
friend was like, are you guys going to what? Britain's
best Friend's parents are the ones they informed us about everything,
the ones that keep us socially connected to the community.
They were like, are you going to this? And we
were like, what are you talking about? And then we
found out, well, we just kind of went without really
even trying to dig into what it was. But there
(14:20):
was mention of costumes, and so I was like, yeah,
our kids love costumes, let's throw costumes on them. And
we went and it was a costume parade for children.
Have you ever turned out been to a parade where
the only people watching the parade are the people in
the parade. It was fun, though it was like our
our friend who our friend who invited us, this dad
(14:41):
is like much more personable than us, and a nicer person,
and he's really social and he was talking to everyone
in a way where it was I was like, do
you know these people? Like he would literally just go like, hey, Chewbacco,
let's go stay hi. Yeah, he was like, I gotta
go talk to this lie and like he was just
like keeping us engage with the whole crowd. And there
(15:02):
really was a lot of cute kids, So it's kind
of nice to just like mingle. It's just so shocking
to hang out with somebody who's not afraid of people
like we are. Yeah, he's great, but there was some
like very cute kids there. Did you see Brin's friend
who was dressed as the Nightmare Before Christmas? Um Katherine
(15:26):
and Harrick character the Stitch Together. Oh yeah, yeah, Well
I'm so angry. I can't think of the character name
right now. Oh so yeah. So she walks up as
like the zombie girl from Nightmare before Christmas and she
was like this, this little girl who's like five, who's
Brand's friend, and she just stared wordlessly at him. Was
(15:48):
that the craziest ship? Well, it was just so funny
because normally it would just look like a shy little girl,
but because she was in full paint with stitches all
over her face. It was like the creepiest thing ever.
And she just say hi. Brand He's like hi, and
she just it took him a second to understand. He
was like, oh, this is my friend and her mom,
(16:09):
but she just stared at him. Sally the character's name
is Sally. Yeah, anyway, it was it was really funny
to watch. Actually, that little girl is us in social situation.
We're like him. The funny thing is our friend, I
(16:32):
drop my phone, our friend who is there? Who's better
than us? A talking to people was like he'd be like,
oh hey, Joe, this is so and so. And then
it really highlighted like when we would run into someone
we don't we know that he doesn't know. We would
say nothing because we were like, this is the parent
of this kid named Jim, but I don't know the
(16:52):
parents name. You know what I mean, Like we're just
really bad at being social. Well, no, I'm bad in
a different way because we the parent and I do
know what her name is. I just didn't think to
introduced anyone. Okay, well I did, but I was like,
I have no idea what this person's name is. So um,
I will ask her. I feel like, now the next
(17:14):
time you see her, I will feel like I have
finally interacted with her and be like, Okay, I need
to get her phone number so that our kids can
we have her phone number. It's on our fridge. Well,
I'll get her phone number. Okay, Well, all text her
in a really non creepy way. Hi, this is normal
play date. Please, this is Beth. Ha ha ha smiley. Oops. Sorry,
(17:39):
last text I forgot to ask questions. This is reminded
me of Oh another mom a text about something. What? No,
it's not interesting. Never mind? Um, oh my god, you're
gonna another mom text about something? So that was our weekend?
Oh you're not going to tell us. I know it's
(18:00):
not interesting, but now that's all we want to know.
Give us the ten word version. It's not at all interesting,
and I really would like to move on instead of
continuing to dig a boring hole into the episode. Here's
what's gonna happen. We're gonna end the segment and then
during the break, Beth is going to tell me what
it is, and then and he's going to be incredibly bored,
(18:20):
and I'll come back and I'll tell you what it
was like to hear it, But we're not going to
tell you. We'll be right back and now it's time
(18:40):
for we knows what they're watching. But before we do that,
I just want to say, Beth told me what the
thing was, and um oh my god, it was really boring.
It's really good. We didn't talk about it. I did
you a favor by listening to it. You're welcome, Beth world.
Do you know what they've been watching? Um? So I
(19:02):
want to talk about how so I had. This was
my little parenting improv of the week. I guess the kids, So, Bryn,
the kids need to take a bath last night it
was Sunday night. You know, they're gross, and Brent obviously
doesn't want to. And then there was kind of like
an hour left until bed, so he wanted to watch TV.
(19:23):
And that was how I bribed him into the bathtub,
as like, you can watch a little bit of TV.
But then he got it in and said that he
wanted to watch a movie and do a movie night,
even though again it's like only an hour left. And
then he was like taking his time in the bath
So I thought maybe he'll forget about the TV thing.
But then he definitely didn't. So then I had a
brilliant idea, which is that I remembered that the Charlie
(19:46):
Brown Peanuts movies are only like a half hour or something,
and I and we had been talking about watching Halloween movie.
So I downloaded, Um, whatever the dumb Charlie Brown Halloween
movies called, like the Great Pumpkin something or other. Oh
it's not dumb, whatever, it's not. I'm not familiar with
(20:08):
that one from my youth. Compared with that, clearly you're
obsessed with it. I've um the Great Pumpkin, Linus is
like everyone's like, you're an idiot, Linus, there's no Great Pumpkin.
I got scared. I got scared when I downloaded it
because the track, like if I pose it on an iTunes,
it looked like there was a full hour movie. But
(20:32):
then luckily when it got to the half an hour point,
it started wrapping up and going to credits, and I
realized it was like two movies and one perfect and
I was able to pose it before anyone realized what
was happening. They were none the wiser. Most of our
parenting is just tricks, just the mind game. If we
(20:54):
have any advice. It's lies and tricks and kind of
I think it's a lot like customer your service in
a way where it's like, sir, I'm going to treat
you to my finest tap water, like you know what
I mean. Like it's just like, oh, yeah, right this
way and here we have your full length feature film.
(21:17):
We gotta get dressed, all right, I'm timing you who's
gonna win. It's a race. And they're like, oh, I'm
gonna get dressed, and they get dressed, and then of
course it's a screaming match. Then it was like I
was dressed first, you started earlier, and I'm like, well,
at least they're dressed. Now they're screaming at each other.
Bren has gone he is he's he's giving me back
(21:42):
to me where he's yeah, he's using a lot of
the tricks, Like how about this as a deal. I'm like,
you don't negotiate. I've got an idea. I'll let you
be my parent if you let me do whatever I
want right now. If you don't let me draw on
the humpkin, we're never doing movie night again. He said
(22:02):
that to me tonight, and I said, okay, Yeah, I
like to call his bluff and be like, oh, okay,
I go already, okay, I'm counting to three, one to three,
and I was, and I go, well, I'm gonna miss
movie night and that. But like I realized, playing along
(22:22):
plays into it. So I'm just like, no, I'm the daddy.
I'm in charge. I'm the daddy. You don't get a
say like I'm gonna shut it down, because at first
it was really funny. I love I'm the daddy. I'm
the daddy, the Peter McNerney story. You're not the daddy.
I'm the daddy. I count to three. I waited thirty
(22:43):
years to be the daddy. Now I'm the daddy. I
have the power and you must do what I say.
It's movie night. Let me tell you about marvel Tonight's theme. Um, anyway,
I love movie night. You have movies. You know, he's
(23:06):
really into movie night, and you get to pick. Anyway,
we had a movie night, um last whenever it last
was UM a real one, because a real movie night
happens every other Wednesday. It's the only time they can
watch TV on a school day. And then every other
week you make some weird exception to the rule and
do Movie Night anyway, It's been weird holidays and so
(23:28):
the week is off since I've been making exceptions. So
Britain's trying to negotiate, and it's harden my resolve to
keep Movie Week every other Wednesday. The completely arbitrary rule
that you came up with that we must abide by.
I gotta say by making it every other week and
special and routine, it has truly made it special. I
(23:49):
do like that it's self contained. Like it's like, do
you get exactly this amount of time you're allowed tea
dinner in front of the TV, but you're not switching channel?
You know, I'm going to pick three options and then
you pick one of them. I mean the three options
part again is like a little bit of like the
I Love it Self aggrandizing Peter McNerney. Even. Here's why
(24:14):
it's great. There's no arguing. You know. It's like when
I was younger, we go to Peter Sordell's house and
he had Terminator too, he had Fourth Gump and he
had Durassic Park or whatever, and you're like, which one
are we to watch? And it's like Durrassic Park there's
three of them. Whereas he now you have a million
choices and it's it's too overwhelming. When I was growing up,
(24:37):
Top three movies were like, okay, so Disney aside like
a Laddin all that. Top three movies was like Wayne's World,
Robin Hood, Men in Tights and now and then no,
that's where we diverge. We also watch a ton of
(24:58):
Three Ninja's. Three Ninja was big a little while it
was great, it was just filled with like potty humor
and boys being boys. I'll tell you what does not
hold up, but it is. Did you rewatch Three Ninjas
at some point? I think I saw it again when
I was like twenty, I did, like just a bit
(25:21):
of it on TV. It was really disappointing. It's it's
home alone but with Ninjas. I mean, I don't really
remember the plot, but I do remember. It was three brothers,
one of whom was named Rocky, the other was named
Tom Tom, and Tom Tom was the youngest who was
always like sneaking some candy or something. And then there
(25:43):
was like, I think the oldest brother who was like
supposed to be like the wise, serious one who I
don't remember. It's exactly the dynamic of the Hanson brothers
exactly the dynamic one name them Taylor Run Run Zach.
(26:04):
I wouldn't have remembered Taylor. I'm impressed that you do. Um.
One of my best friends in the whole world is
a humongous handsOn fan, like a career spanning handsOn fan,
car careers, their whole career, all of it. Like if
you go, yeah, oh, Hanson like umbop, and then she's like,
there's so much more, and to her credit, they are,
(26:28):
They're more than imbop. But I've never found my way
past that into becoming a handsOn fan. But you're always
listening to it. She has gotten me to respect Hanson
more than most people these days do okayld these days
who don't get it that that dude up, pib it
(26:50):
up up, dude up dude. Yeahs, you've sold us with
that voice. All right, we're on board it up. Yeah.
Do you remember when that song came out Don't stop.
You gotta admit that song is catchy. That song is
(27:14):
right up there with Oh tell Me what you Want,
What You Really Got Nothing on Chumbawamba, Chumbawamba, that Spice
Girls song, and Bop. I really feel like they belong
in the same toy box you know what I mean,
the toy box of our lives. Yeah, the toy box
of nineties for six. Hey, Siri, do you not make
(27:47):
this more boring? Oh? It said? It thought, I said,
what year did Rambo come out? So I said, which one?
Can I just tell you? If I ever die and
you re enter the dating world, do not talk to
Siri at any point in front of anyone. This is
(28:09):
the greatest gift you've ever seen. Do not talk to
Siri in front of anyone, not like on a date,
just anyone ever, Like when someone even if someone was
like your guy friend and then he saw you do that,
and then his friend was like, yeah, I don't know,
do you have anyone you could set me up with.
I'm just looking for a nice guy. And he's going
(28:30):
through his mental roll at X and then he pictures
you doing that and he's like, they're not going to
hit it off. Hey, Siri, when did Bob by Hanson
come out? By Hanson came out on a Wow. It
even spelled Bob with three capital ms correctly. It uh it.
(28:56):
I'm sorry, Siri. It's not a person and it's an algorithm.
It's appropriate. Lucky for you, you're more likely to die
before I do. Yeah, we watched a movie anyway, or
a movie. We watched four tweet tet tweet boat. I
(29:20):
taught my kids toy boat to toy boat the other
day and Maven, realizing she couldn't say it, burst into
laughter like it was the greatest magic trick of all time.
She's like, toy boy. She's been saying some funny things lately.
Was She's trying to think of the word for vel
(29:43):
crow the other day and she was like, can you
do the scarecrow? And then and I was like, um,
what do you mean? She was like, oh, I mean
the gare crow. She literally he said that. She's like
she's always doing stuff like that where she just like
(30:03):
she makes us like a really weird word. No. Yeah,
Britain was talking about Star Wars and maybe it goes Starblowers.
I was like, yeah, Starblowers. Yeah, she's great. We watched
Toy Story for It's a great movie. Um, it was
a little part that dragged, but it was very good.
(30:24):
And Brittan Maven love this movie. The first movie I've
they've seen a long time. Were the next day they're like,
can we watch this movie again? When I was growing up,
my little brother and I would just want to watch
the same movies over and over and over. And I
think that's true for a lot of kids, but not
our kids anyway. They love Forky. Um work was funny.
(30:46):
I so need to watch a movie, mostly because I
saw them watching a little bit of the other night,
but also I was on an airplane last week and
I was kind of watching it over someone's shoulder on
their TV screen, which I think to its credit. You know,
it's like one of those Disney movies. It's very visual.
It's like good animation, and so you kind of know
(31:08):
exactly what's happening without hearing it. And I was like, oh,
this is like good storytelling. It was like, oh, I
mean the toy story movies are incredible storytelling. Um. But
Forky is an art project and he suddenly he gets
brought home many he's suddenly alive, but he doesn't know
he understand that he's a toy, and so he keeps
(31:29):
seeing the trash. He wants to throw himself away because
he comes from the trash. And Brendan Maven love this.
It's really a great metaphor for toddlers, like their trash. No,
they're just like running into the street like they don't know.
You're like, hey, people care about you. You're idiot. No forky,
(31:53):
no forky, You're not trash, You're a toy. But at
the end of that movie, there's a they they see
a girl who's lost. I'm not going to give it away.
It's not important, but it's a and Maven first into tears.
It just ran over to me and needed a giant hug.
(32:15):
It's so sad to see a sad child. Scary. I
mean it's not, it's fine. I mean Toy Story three,
they like accept death. I started going down that shoot.
It's to me, that's a much heavier movie. Um, but
it was emotional and I was like and I was like, yes,
this is what movie night is all about. What I
(32:38):
do like about moving it is it does force us
to dig into these movies that Bryn doesn't normally watch.
And so it is like these Disney movies that have
like real, real emotional core to them, and like are
Bryn likes that? Like it's nice to see that he
feels things when watching a movie. I talked about this
(33:01):
with him tonight. I don't know how he can he
brought it up something about him. He was like, sometimes
I feel things. Yeah. We just finished Charlie and Chocolate Factory.
I've been reading it to them um, and he said
something about I've been essentially having an emotional reaction to something.
And I was like, yeah, that that's why I like
(33:21):
movie night. Why movies are great because you can get
into it and care about people and then and you
can feel feel things that makes you. Oh. We were
reading a book at the end of which Gerald and
Piggy that goes, this book makes me feel big things
and he goes, what does that mean? And so that's
started the conversation about getting into a story and feeling emotions.
(33:45):
I was like, like, when you saw Tory story for right,
you felt sad and happy and scared. He goes yeah,
And I'm like, you don't feel that when you watch
those YouTube videos, do you. He's like, no, that's why
Daddy hates those videos. He rolled his eyes at me. Really,
there's no feeling to it. There's no story. It's just
(34:06):
a purple dinosaur next to I didn't go to acting
school for four years, so you could watch Blippy. Have
we talked about Blippy a hundred times. But have we
talked about his the larger context that there's an article
about Blippy about how before Yeah, he's the clickbait guy
(34:28):
has been trying to find ways to get people to
click on l and he did it with Blippy. Okay,
so there's new news about Blippy, which is that. So
Blippy is like, you know, probably a ba jillionaire because
his YouTube channel has so many followers or whatever, and
he does appearances and he can make it. He makes
(34:49):
I'm sure he makes like a bazillion dollars to be
Blippy angry. I know, well it I don't know. Anyway, clickbait.
He's he's doing his thing, he's making his money. So
Blippy they did. They announced a tour of a Blippy
ship like a live show. So obviously parents are like, well,
(35:13):
this sounds like hell on Earth, but I'm going to
do this for my kid. And you know what, we
don't judge parents here, but you're a bad parent if
you took your kid to play He's No. Here's what happened.
They there was a thing where a bunch of parents
got mad because in the very fine print they said
that Blippy would be played by an actor, not the
(35:36):
real Blippy. So Blippy wasn't even doing his own appearances
and he's garbage. They're doing you a favorite. This is
what I think it is funny, is like your kid
doesn't know. You're probably lucky that you're getting this person
who's like a committed performer, has a personality the real Blippy,
who's probably some burnout who didn't shoot on his friend
(35:57):
in the video. Well, but parents were like why when
I say that that's a real thing that happened. That's
not a joke. But parents were like angry because they
spent a ton of money on these tickets. It's like
this is like a high dollar ticket value, like the
parents that. Well, I commented on an article that someone
(36:18):
posted because it's like this like went to court or something,
And I said, I find everyone involved guilty of Blippy
because it's not you got yourself tangled up in this
Blippy web. We all know we're too much a part
of it. So I put a child password lock on
(36:40):
the Amazon Prime because Amazon Prime is as bad. I
deleted YouTube and Amazon Primes almost as bad with that,
like mindless, just which which ourson admitted gave him nightmares. Yeah,
and so the other day I come into the room
and Bryn is the weekend he watched TV. He picks
up the remote and he opens the Amazon Prime and
(37:04):
just plugs in the password five digits And I go,
how did you know how to do that? That'saw, mommy
do it? I don't even understand because our password has
like three digits that are the same number that you
just hit it three times fast. I don't know how
he observed that because there's a key pad, you know,
(37:25):
on the screen. It's just it's crazy child safety. There's
no way he's going to figure it all out. He
already has. Our children are too swhart listen. I just
want to take a second because I know that there
are parents listening who let their parents let their kids
watch Blippy. And you probably feel pretty judged right now.
Now we've let our kids watch Blippy. Yeah, and I
(37:47):
just want to say, you're you're a great parent, but
end the Blippy now. It's it's it's stopped the Blippy.
It's not harmless, it's the larger it's harmful. I'm sorry,
I'm irrationally upset about Whippy. I mean, if we're going
(38:08):
to boycott Blippy, we might as well get off of
Amazon the which is a horrible corporation. But we haven't
done that. I've deleted the Apple bunch of times. And no,
we still are Amazon Prime members, like we still give
the money. That's really useful though, But I'm all about
deleting Amazon Prime. You're all about it. Yeah, there's some
(38:28):
good shows on there, but I don't want Brandon watching
that crap. I want. I think the hard thing is like, Okay,
we work in the entertainment industry. If you suddenly had
an offer tomorrow that was like, hey, do you want
to be a star of Amazon Prime's newest series, you
would be like, yeah, I want to be an actress.
That's fine. They have real shows. That's not the point.
(38:50):
Is like, like our subscription to try to see the
shows feeds into their larger Like yes, of course, because
I want to feed you. Yeah, it's so selfless. No,
this is all a selfish thing. I'm not trying to
solve Amazon. I just don't want I want brain watter.
I'm just saying we're all complicit and Amazon, We're all
(39:11):
complicit and blippy. I just I want to admit that
and be honest. I still Amazon. I bought a cubs
hat from some random, crappy vendor. This is a major
issue besides all of amaze. You need to be careful
which vendors. I didn't check and I ordered it July
(39:32):
and they won't let me get a refund and it's
a nightmare. And maybe we need to invent to ourselves that,
like free shipping, is not worth dealing with a company
that's not giving their workers a living wage or whatever
the hell they're doing. You know what, I'm even more
selfish that I'm just upset about the hat. Anyway, this
(39:55):
has been watching. This next segment is called would you Knows?
That's where we present each other with parenting hypotheticals. It's
(40:18):
been a while since we've done this or come up
with one. And no, that wasn't a listeners. We're real
light on emails this week, so I have one. Okay, ready, Okay,
Now this is sort of dark now that I'm thinking
about what. No, I'm gonna say it confidently. Okay, So
(40:45):
you are going to fall into a um groundhog Day
situation where you're going to relive the same day over
and over and over and over, but you have a
unique twist to it, which is movie day Movie Night
Rules is that you're being presented with three days from
your life. Uh did you get to pick from Movie
(41:09):
Night Rules? Okay, you're going to present me with the
three three days that that you have to pick to
live over and over and over and over again, and
we're using Movie Night Rules. Yeah, I'm giving you. Okay,
the genre is the genre because you love to have
(41:29):
the theme is I guess super intense days, super intense days.
That the days are the day Britain was born. Okay,
well he was born at four thirty in the morning,
(41:50):
so I have to live it from twelve am. Yeah.
So the day starts with you being like, give me
the epidural and we're like it's too late. It's with
me being like, got him out of me at this
end any way possible and me saying I think not anyway. Um,
(42:11):
that one the day Naven was born, Um when she
was born in the Honda fit as we all know now,
two of the most painful days of my entire life.
So I'm hoping this third is the day you you
got your thyroid removed, The day I got my thyroid removed,
(42:35):
I was put under I actually, why would I excuse me?
I mean, meeting my kids was great, but everything leading
up to it is like not not worth reliving the
moment of meeting them. I'm sorry, it's like, oh boy,
(42:56):
it's only only four and a half hours of life.
So much of the joy of meeting my children was
just relief that I was no longer having contractions Like
I was like, oh, you're so great and not a contraction.
I love you. You were such a not a contraction.
(43:19):
Oh boy, yeah, I should have thought of a worse
third day. There's nothing worse. Okay, so can I This
is I want to come back to this in a second.
But this week I went to a friend's show, um,
(43:42):
which was great show, and it was great to be
out at all. I put the kids to bed, and
I drove the city to see this show. And I
was rushing there. And I got there and I went
up an elevator and I turned the corner, I bought
my ticket, went up these little stairs, and in this
little vestibule between the box office and the actual theater,
I suddenly realized where I was, which is I was
(44:04):
in the spot where I first met you, and I
had not had not been there since that moment, and
it was very emotional. And then I went into this
theater and I realized the first time I ever saw
you was on this stage, and so I was like
in in in the same audience where I first saw
you on stage. And it was at a time when
(44:24):
I was single, so I was like every eligible lady
around me, I was like, maybe maybe this one would
like me? And remember is this the one? And you're
on stage with a bunch of very funny women and
you were the one, and I was like, I was like,
I like that one. And then I met you outside
(44:44):
and you don't you said, you don't really remember. I
vaguely remember meeting you. I don't remember much about the
location of meeting you. I remember kind of vaguely watching
you on stage, and I remember being on the stage,
but us meeting after the show, I don't like specifically
(45:05):
recall the surroundings. I think you'd recognize it. But it
also wasn't much of a meeting. Remember it wasn't a meeting. Also,
like I was meeting you in the context of my
friend being like, here's the guy I have a crush on,
the friend who I was very soon about to betray. Um,
(45:25):
So that's like the context, I was like, okay, cool,
he seems fine. I guess like I was like, oh
my god, I had been talked up. You've been talked up,
and I was like, this isn't okay. All right? If
that's your thing to eat her own. I guess he'll
(45:46):
make someone a happy wife someday. I don't know, but
all I know is definitely not me I do. Here's
what I do remember I think about meeting you because
this was like your signature look at that time, is
that you were wearing a sort of maroonish red dress
(46:08):
shirt and a black tie in the style of a waiter.
That was usually how you how you rolled up. That
was how we dressed for improv shows in college. It's
like still fresh out of college. Yeah, so you're like,
and also my old college group was performing. We had
(46:30):
our ties on. Yeah, so you're like, would you like
smoking or non smoking? Um? You want smoking or non smoking?
Hot future husband? Non smoking? Okay, right this way? Um
it is something i've I did not think about the
fact the context that you met me as set up
(46:53):
as somebody else's crush. Yeah. I was like, well, good
for you, right, good along with this weird waiter. I
was like, I guess in a certain light, I could
see why someone might' she's good, you know if you're
(47:16):
if you're into that sort of thing. But jokes on me, folks,
Well see that's why you don't remember it. Because I
was in the room talking to everybody else, but I
had you in mind. I was like, who is that
hot non waiter? You really? Who is that enchanting creature
(47:38):
who lights up the stage? She was not with her
flared gene, who was not quite old enough to buy
alcohol legally. She seems to be asking other people to
buy her drinks. If one observes carefully, she's cool and
collected and scary because she's not saying any words. I'll
ask her out on a date in which I will
(48:00):
say all the words I know, and she'll say twelve.
She's sort of like a Sally from The Nightmare Before Christmas. Yes,
I'm then you are the Jack Skellington. You're like, Christmas,
what is this? Let me explain Christmas to you. Let
(48:22):
me men sxplain Christmas. You were just born literally our
entire dynamic at that moment in history. Um, I'd love
to be Jack skelling Overly confident, naive, skinny google skeleton.
(48:45):
What am I talking about? I don't know anyway, So
you choose thyroid day to live over and over and over.
Tyro day is like less anxiety and build up for
whatever reason, some painful and predictable and scheduled. The thing
about anxiety is it's not it's not waited appropriately to events.
(49:16):
So I can be incredibly rational. I can be very
anxious about like having to get up on a stage
and do something, whereas if I'm going to be cut open,
it's sort of like, well, I have no control over this,
I'll just go in there. Yeah. I think. Also when
I had thyroid surgery, it was like I had prizingly
(49:40):
two toddlers. Maven was like she was like thirteen months
old maybe something like that. She was like about a
year old. I think because it was like May. It
was like the end of May. So I, between my
thyroid and having two tiny children, I was just sort
of a peak exhaustion where the idea of going in
(50:02):
for surgery is like a vacation. Like it very literally
was like, oh, people have to take care of me.
Now you're getting pampered. Yeah, It's like this is like
a spa you know you had my full attention. Not quite,
but yeah, that we've talked about before. That was a
(50:27):
rough time. Yeah, I mean there's just the the thyroid
condition on top of everything else, with the exhaustion of
having two small children. Just it's like it's all a
fog to me now, like, yeah, it's also was a
nice like, oh, there's a solution to this this. Yeah,
(50:47):
it's like, oh, thank god, it's not just me that
has been walking through the world like a zombie. Like Sally,
like like a Sally real Sally Peter the Pumpkin Eater.
Oh god, that was my favorite bad joke. You're like
(51:10):
the night the Blippy of Halloween movies. You take it back,
You take that back, or we are divorced. I did
not go to four years. I didn't go to four
years of a Liberal arts b a theater. I didn't
get it. I didn't get a degree in communications that
does not specify that it was for theater so that
(51:32):
you could call me a blippy. I love you, and
I'm glad we got through those three days. And I'm
glad you spotted me on that dingy stage so many
years ago, years ago, thirteen years ago, years ago, thirteen
(51:56):
and a half, so many years it almost makes you
want to leave Halloween Town? What are the towns are
out there? I left and I found you. You're my

The head off the feet of piano ground, no Fight
(00:28):
Club member Iclon, It's the Pixies. Where is my my?
I don't associate that song with the Fight Club. Um,
but I guess I'm just not at Edward Norton, head
of such a Norton head, ed head, ed head Marvel
(00:48):
cinematic universe really went downhill after he left. In what role?
He was the Incredible Hulk before Mark Ruffalo took over
m H. Considering I have zero memory of him as
the Hulk and a much stronger one of Mark Ruffalo,
I would say Mark Ruffalo is doing a better job.
Oh yeah, Well, Iron Man came out and the second
(01:10):
one was Edward Norton's Incredible Hulk, but everyone mixes it
up with Angle's Hulk that had just come out, and
then they that's in the Marvel anyway. Anyway, you're listening
to Marvel Heads the Marvel podcast. We started this was
a sound check that turned into a really dumb this
(01:31):
is the dumbest intro too high, this is we know
his parenting. I'm Peter. There's not enough people rambling about
Marvel movies out there. Finally got in here into this
pod secretly, Big Big fan. It's not a very controversial
thing to that. The most shameful secret thing about you,
(01:53):
your love of Marvel is how many times I've If
there's one thing about men and Marvel, it's that I
wish they weren't so himed of it. Like talk about it,
tell us more about it is like tell us when
you're headed to the next movie and what you think
of it afterwards, and whether it lived up to your expectations,
which are always high. Um. I went in with my
(02:16):
expectations high. Today we're just going to be a comic
book movie review podcast. What do you think that? What
do you think of Joker? Didn't see it? Oh? That's right,
What did you think of any other one? You didn't
see it? Um? Um, well you're one. You're one. Love
of superhero movies is very Chris Pratt based Chris Pratt, No,
(02:43):
my one love of superhero Did you love the Guardians movies?
I like them? Okay, you associate them with me much
more strongly than as normal, because I went into labor
after seeing the first one. You love them, You love
them so much to your body was like, let's have
a baby anyway. Well, like I can't wait to bring
a child into a world where Chris Pratt talks to
(03:06):
a tree. I am we are groot. This is a
parenting podcast. And that was a segue into a parenting
related thing just a little bit. So Beth Week and review. Um,
I need to tell you something that happened. So brit
we signed Brent up for an after school class. He
(03:27):
does after school, um every day, but we sign up
for a class on Mondays and it's his like nature
Explorers club, and so he has only done it once,
I think, and then there was a holiday, so today
he was supposed to do a second one. I get
to him out of the car and I found a
(03:49):
rubber plastic glob glove in his bag, like a like
a surgeon's glove. And I was like, Britton, where did
this come from? He goes, oh, from my cooking class.
I was like, oh my god. Wait. And apparently when
they were like, alright, cooking class this way, he just
went to the cooking class and they were like they said,
(04:09):
and he's like, they said I could stay because his
class had clearly left and gone to the woods. Oh
my god. And so he just got to do the
cooking class and he he's like I loved it, and
he's like, I want to do it again. I was like, well,
we didn't. We can do that next time, but we
didn't pay for it. But he might just crash the
rest of it. I mean, good for him. I I
(04:33):
whenever I get too worried about my parenting with him
and where he's going, I have to remember that he's
just gonna find a way. Like where he wants to go,
he's just there, he goes. He's got very big Leo energy.
He just can't. He won't. He won't not do something.
You have to get the point where you're threatening him
(04:55):
with the removal of television privileges. He wanted to carve
the pumpkin and it was ten minutes before bedtime. So
I'm like, we can't do it, and he goes, well,
I'm gonna draw on the pumpkin. I go, no, we'll
do it tomorrow night. We'll do it all together. He goes, okay,
but I'm gonna draw in the pumpkin. And I didn't
(05:16):
have the energy to get the stern. And I was like,
brand no. And you can hear it if I go
brand no. He's like, Daddy doesn't mean it. So I
was like, God, damn you for making me no, And
then we finally compromise. I was like, get three pieces
of paper, draw three designs, and we'll talk about it.
So he did. Then we FaceTime to your parents and
(05:38):
he showed them and he had He goes, please pick
the best one, and then your mom picked the one
that he didn't want her to pick. He goes, not
not that one, pick one of these two, and then
she picked the vampire and goes great, and then maybe.
And I kept talking to them as Bryan went to
the pumpkin to start drawing it onto the pumpkin, and
(05:59):
I was so mad because I said, no, like ten times,
you are funny about this kind of thing, because when Okay,
so we got this Trader Joe's Halloween gingerbread house that
we're decorating, and he's doing it and you're and he
was looking the picture and wanted to replicate the way
it was decorating the picture, and you were like, you
were like, no, this is our gingerbread house. We decorated
(06:21):
how we want to. We don't have to do the picture.
And you start like forcing him to switch gears and
you start putting things on the gingerbread house, and then
as soon as okay, but then as soon as he
starts like doing his own thing and trying to like
put the ghost on, you were like, no, we can't
put that there, like you were you like switched gears,
(06:42):
and you just wanted to micromanage. He was trying to
put the ghosts on the top of the house where
it would fall down. Well it was on there and
it didn't fall down. No, I know he wanted to
balance the on the tip top, on the tippy top,
like standing on the on the point of the house.
So I think we had a nice compromise. But you're
(07:03):
not wrong that when I get into a project with them,
I enjoy myself. You're just like, but I understand, Like
I mean, I am this way with the sthetic things.
I want things to look nice. So it does drive
me a little crazy. But if I bought a pumpkin
for the kids to carve, there's also part of me
that's like, well, this is gonna be whatever they wanted
(07:24):
to be, Like, it's not right. Well, I just didn't
want him to buy himself scribble all over the pumpkin.
I wanted to include Maven, and I want us all
to sit down and like, do the pumpkin megain? Well,
I guess in my mind I was already thinking, like,
we probably need to buy another pumpkin. I just lugd
that one home because it was like in front of
me at the supermarket and I was like, we need
a pumpkin. That's fair. Well, We're gonna do a big
(07:46):
thing tomorrow night, I promised, UM, a big thing. Big.
We're gonna make up a big old'n be a big
old pumpkin night. Nice Peter Peter Pumpkin Carver. I have
never made a Peter Peter pumpkin eater joke about myself
in thirty seven years until tonight. Never. I would really
(08:09):
hate it, even sitting on a gold mine of jokes. Um.
They called me Petrie the portable party in fourth grade.
So should we talk about our weekend which was very spooky.
Oh my gosh, let's talk about our spooky weekend. Go
for we had the halloweeniest weekend ever. It was the
weeniest because the weeniest we went to the elementary school
(08:33):
scare fare which for Britain and did not twice. This
weekend did not prepare um optimally in terms of the
amount of cash we would need on hand. Okay, if
you're throwing a fundraiser for the whole school in the
form of a fun scare fare, somebody should get the
Square app on their iPhone and get some demo payments
(08:57):
or whatever so that g de cash machine. We want
a fundraise, but we're tired and we don't have more
than sixty dollars in our wallet. Anyway, we survived, but
we got We had just enough for them to get
tickets and a wristband and then literally one dollar left
(09:18):
for snacks and lunch. Yeah, and we had better kids lunch.
The only way I could feed brand. I could feed
Brind was to have him do the eat a doughnut
from a string game and spotted you doing that, and then,
as the mastermind that I am, I was like, this
is my chance to bring mabon over to the cupcake
decorating table. We'll get them both loaded up on sugar
(09:40):
so they don't see what each other is doing. I
specifically took bring too the donut thing, and I was like,
maybe he's not going to say this. Well, there was
limited things for her to do for her age, and
one of them was decorated cupcake. So yeah, mostly activities
were throw a ball into a hole, which neither of
them are capable of. Yeah, Maven is more coordinated. They
(10:03):
had so they had a little miniature golf thing set
up and Maven was like killing it. She she has
better hand eye hole than one. She has a better
hand eye coordination, like she like she was writing tonight
when I walked in. And when I walked in the door,
and Brince said what's her name and then proceeded to
(10:24):
try to take my order or something on a piece
of paper, Maven was also trying to write stuff down,
and she was like, um, how do you spell your name?
And then I would be like b E. And then
she would be like, so what's an E look like? Again?
And I have to like explain it to her verbally
and she would figure it out. She has she has
(10:45):
caught up pretty quick on her letters in the last sight. Yeah,
but that's what I'm saying a couple of weeks ago
about how she's just has a different like learning focuses
than Brent, where she's like a tactile learner, Like if
she's trying to spell my name, she's going to figure
it out, whereas Bryn, he was just happy to perform
the alphabet for you. You know, it's totally true, Maven.
(11:08):
They I always try to follow their excitement and their focus.
If I'm doing a good job, and Bryn, if he
locks into a thing, you can explain a lot to
him and he will go with you. But it's maybe
you have to follow where where her interest is um,
because she's not gonna like yeah she yeah, I think
(11:31):
she has to pick up a thing she has anyway,
so scared for He also had a little haunted house
which I didn't go through, but you witness. So we're
walking up and this lady is like, do you guys
want the scary version or the not so scary version?
And she's talking all these little kids who are just
like standing there scared, and they're like She's like, okay,
(11:51):
not scary, and like she's and she keeps me like
not scary is that we leave the lights on? And
like she's like directing all these kids. So the big
kids are lining up on one side, little kids on
the other side for the not scary version, And then
they were telling us, they were like you can meet
them on the other side, just go around over there,
and I'm like, my daughters three. Yeah, We're like, are
(12:12):
we okay to sending them in there? We have no
idea what's happening. We went out and immediately it was
like I'm going back in there. So your protective instinct
kicked in and you were like, I have to see
this through. So you walked through with them, and it
was It was not scary in the way a haunted
house is scary, but socially scary in the way that
(12:35):
is like, what is happening? Very scary. We go into
the corner of a gymnasium covered in tarps and the
lights are fully on and they're standing in a row.
Are twenty third graders dressed in horrific makeup. Two are
(12:55):
lying on the ground. What the first thing you see
as a kid lying on the ground with a screen
mask on, just like looking up at you and like reaching.
He's on his stomach and the lights are fully on,
nobody's hidden, the music is not very loud, and like
there's an adult behind them just watching everyone. And Maven's
(13:18):
walking through it, going this is the most terrifying thing
I've ever seen. It's just twenty strangers staring, it's like
and they're like halfheartedly like being scary, but they can
tell this is awkward with the lights on, and these
are very small children, so we got through their real
(13:38):
quick and I was like, was that scary and Maven's
like yes, yeah, So that was a scary fair. And
then we went to uh the Halloween costume parade downtown,
which this was a step up. We found out about
like an hour before it was happening. Are another parent
(13:59):
friend was like, are you guys going to what? Britain's
best Friend's parents are the ones they informed us about everything,
the ones that keep us socially connected to the community.
They were like, are you going to this? And we
were like, what are you talking about? And then we
found out, well, we just kind of went without really
even trying to dig into what it was. But there
(14:20):
was mention of costumes, and so I was like, yeah,
our kids love costumes, let's throw costumes on them. And
we went and it was a costume parade for children.
Have you ever turned out been to a parade where
the only people watching the parade are the people in
the parade. It was fun, though it was like our
our friend who our friend who invited us, this dad
(14:41):
is like much more personable than us, and a nicer person,
and he's really social and he was talking to everyone
in a way where it was I was like, do
you know these people? Like he would literally just go like, hey, Chewbacco,
let's go stay hi. Yeah, he was like, I gotta
go talk to this lie and like he was just
like keeping us engage with the whole crowd. And there
(15:02):
really was a lot of cute kids, So it's kind
of nice to just like mingle. It's just so shocking
to hang out with somebody who's not afraid of people
like we are. Yeah, he's great, but there was some
like very cute kids there. Did you see Brin's friend
who was dressed as the Nightmare Before Christmas? Um Katherine
(15:26):
and Harrick character the Stitch Together. Oh yeah, yeah, Well
I'm so angry. I can't think of the character name
right now. Oh so yeah. So she walks up as
like the zombie girl from Nightmare before Christmas and she
was like this, this little girl who's like five, who's
Brand's friend, and she just stared wordlessly at him. Was
(15:48):
that the craziest ship? Well, it was just so funny
because normally it would just look like a shy little girl,
but because she was in full paint with stitches all
over her face. It was like the creepiest thing ever.
And she just say hi. Brand He's like hi, and
she just it took him a second to understand. He
was like, oh, this is my friend and her mom,
(16:09):
but she just stared at him. Sally the character's name
is Sally. Yeah, anyway, it was it was really funny
to watch. Actually, that little girl is us in social situation.
We're like him. The funny thing is our friend, I
(16:32):
drop my phone, our friend who is there? Who's better
than us? A talking to people was like he'd be like,
oh hey, Joe, this is so and so. And then
it really highlighted like when we would run into someone
we don't we know that he doesn't know. We would
say nothing because we were like, this is the parent
of this kid named Jim, but I don't know the
(16:52):
parents name. You know what I mean, Like we're just
really bad at being social. Well, no, I'm bad in
a different way because we the parent and I do
know what her name is. I just didn't think to
introduced anyone. Okay, well I did, but I was like,
I have no idea what this person's name is. So um,
I will ask her. I feel like, now the next
(17:14):
time you see her, I will feel like I have
finally interacted with her and be like, Okay, I need
to get her phone number so that our kids can
we have her phone number. It's on our fridge. Well,
I'll get her phone number. Okay, Well, all text her
in a really non creepy way. Hi, this is normal
play date. Please, this is Beth. Ha ha ha smiley. Oops. Sorry,
(17:39):
last text I forgot to ask questions. This is reminded
me of Oh another mom a text about something. What? No,
it's not interesting. Never mind? Um, oh my god, you're
gonna another mom text about something? So that was our weekend?
Oh you're not going to tell us. I know it's
(18:00):
not interesting, but now that's all we want to know.
Give us the ten word version. It's not at all interesting,
and I really would like to move on instead of
continuing to dig a boring hole into the episode. Here's
what's gonna happen. We're gonna end the segment and then
during the break, Beth is going to tell me what
it is, and then and he's going to be incredibly bored,
(18:20):
and I'll come back and I'll tell you what it
was like to hear it, But we're not going to
tell you. We'll be right back and now it's time
(18:40):
for we knows what they're watching. But before we do that,
I just want to say, Beth told me what the
thing was, and um oh my god, it was really boring.
It's really good. We didn't talk about it. I did
you a favor by listening to it. You're welcome, Beth world.
Do you know what they've been watching? Um? So I
(19:02):
want to talk about how so I had. This was
my little parenting improv of the week. I guess the kids, So, Bryn,
the kids need to take a bath last night it
was Sunday night. You know, they're gross, and Brent obviously
doesn't want to. And then there was kind of like
an hour left until bed, so he wanted to watch TV.
(19:23):
And that was how I bribed him into the bathtub,
as like, you can watch a little bit of TV.
But then he got it in and said that he
wanted to watch a movie and do a movie night,
even though again it's like only an hour left. And
then he was like taking his time in the bath
So I thought maybe he'll forget about the TV thing.
But then he definitely didn't. So then I had a
brilliant idea, which is that I remembered that the Charlie
(19:46):
Brown Peanuts movies are only like a half hour or something,
and I and we had been talking about watching Halloween movie.
So I downloaded, Um, whatever the dumb Charlie Brown Halloween
movies called, like the Great Pumpkin something or other. Oh
it's not dumb, whatever, it's not. I'm not familiar with
(20:08):
that one from my youth. Compared with that, clearly you're
obsessed with it. I've um the Great Pumpkin, Linus is
like everyone's like, you're an idiot, Linus, there's no Great Pumpkin.
I got scared. I got scared when I downloaded it
because the track, like if I pose it on an iTunes,
it looked like there was a full hour movie. But
(20:32):
then luckily when it got to the half an hour point,
it started wrapping up and going to credits, and I
realized it was like two movies and one perfect and
I was able to pose it before anyone realized what
was happening. They were none the wiser. Most of our
parenting is just tricks, just the mind game. If we
(20:54):
have any advice. It's lies and tricks and kind of
I think it's a lot like customer your service in
a way where it's like, sir, I'm going to treat
you to my finest tap water, like you know what
I mean. Like it's just like, oh, yeah, right this
way and here we have your full length feature film.
(21:17):
We gotta get dressed, all right, I'm timing you who's
gonna win. It's a race. And they're like, oh, I'm
gonna get dressed, and they get dressed, and then of
course it's a screaming match. Then it was like I
was dressed first, you started earlier, and I'm like, well,
at least they're dressed. Now they're screaming at each other.
Bren has gone he is he's he's giving me back
(21:42):
to me where he's yeah, he's using a lot of
the tricks, Like how about this as a deal. I'm like,
you don't negotiate. I've got an idea. I'll let you
be my parent if you let me do whatever I
want right now. If you don't let me draw on
the humpkin, we're never doing movie night again. He said
(22:02):
that to me tonight, and I said, okay, Yeah, I
like to call his bluff and be like, oh, okay,
I go already, okay, I'm counting to three, one to three,
and I was, and I go, well, I'm gonna miss
movie night and that. But like I realized, playing along
(22:22):
plays into it. So I'm just like, no, I'm the daddy.
I'm in charge. I'm the daddy. You don't get a
say like I'm gonna shut it down, because at first
it was really funny. I love I'm the daddy. I'm
the daddy, the Peter McNerney story. You're not the daddy.
I'm the daddy. I count to three. I waited thirty
(22:43):
years to be the daddy. Now I'm the daddy. I
have the power and you must do what I say.
It's movie night. Let me tell you about marvel Tonight's theme. Um, anyway,
I love movie night. You have movies. You know, he's
(23:06):
really into movie night, and you get to pick. Anyway,
we had a movie night, um last whenever it last
was UM a real one, because a real movie night
happens every other Wednesday. It's the only time they can
watch TV on a school day. And then every other
week you make some weird exception to the rule and
do Movie Night anyway, It's been weird holidays and so
(23:28):
the week is off since I've been making exceptions. So
Britain's trying to negotiate, and it's harden my resolve to
keep Movie Week every other Wednesday. The completely arbitrary rule
that you came up with that we must abide by.
I gotta say by making it every other week and
special and routine, it has truly made it special. I
(23:49):
do like that it's self contained. Like it's like, do
you get exactly this amount of time you're allowed tea
dinner in front of the TV, but you're not switching channel?
You know, I'm going to pick three options and then
you pick one of them. I mean the three options
part again is like a little bit of like the
I Love it Self aggrandizing Peter McNerney. Even. Here's why
(24:14):
it's great. There's no arguing. You know. It's like when
I was younger, we go to Peter Sordell's house and
he had Terminator too, he had Fourth Gump and he
had Durassic Park or whatever, and you're like, which one
are we to watch? And it's like Durrassic Park there's
three of them. Whereas he now you have a million
choices and it's it's too overwhelming. When I was growing up,
(24:37):
Top three movies were like, okay, so Disney aside like
a Laddin all that. Top three movies was like Wayne's World,
Robin Hood, Men in Tights and now and then no,
that's where we diverge. We also watch a ton of
(24:58):
Three Ninja's. Three Ninja was big a little while it
was great, it was just filled with like potty humor
and boys being boys. I'll tell you what does not
hold up, but it is. Did you rewatch Three Ninjas
at some point? I think I saw it again when
I was like twenty, I did, like just a bit
(25:21):
of it on TV. It was really disappointing. It's it's
home alone but with Ninjas. I mean, I don't really
remember the plot, but I do remember. It was three brothers,
one of whom was named Rocky, the other was named
Tom Tom, and Tom Tom was the youngest who was
always like sneaking some candy or something. And then there
(25:43):
was like, I think the oldest brother who was like
supposed to be like the wise, serious one who I
don't remember. It's exactly the dynamic of the Hanson brothers
exactly the dynamic one name them Taylor Run Run Zach.
(26:04):
I wouldn't have remembered Taylor. I'm impressed that you do. Um.
One of my best friends in the whole world is
a humongous handsOn fan, like a career spanning handsOn fan,
car careers, their whole career, all of it. Like if
you go, yeah, oh, Hanson like umbop, and then she's like,
there's so much more, and to her credit, they are,
(26:28):
They're more than imbop. But I've never found my way
past that into becoming a handsOn fan. But you're always
listening to it. She has gotten me to respect Hanson
more than most people these days do okayld these days
who don't get it that that dude up, pib it
(26:50):
up up, dude up dude. Yeahs, you've sold us with
that voice. All right, we're on board it up. Yeah.
Do you remember when that song came out Don't stop.
You gotta admit that song is catchy. That song is
(27:14):
right up there with Oh tell Me what you Want,
What You Really Got Nothing on Chumbawamba, Chumbawamba, that Spice
Girls song, and Bop. I really feel like they belong
in the same toy box you know what I mean,
the toy box of our lives. Yeah, the toy box
of nineties for six. Hey, Siri, do you not make
(27:47):
this more boring? Oh? It said? It thought, I said,
what year did Rambo come out? So I said, which one?
Can I just tell you? If I ever die and
you re enter the dating world, do not talk to
Siri at any point in front of anyone. This is
(28:09):
the greatest gift you've ever seen. Do not talk to
Siri in front of anyone, not like on a date,
just anyone ever, Like when someone even if someone was
like your guy friend and then he saw you do that,
and then his friend was like, yeah, I don't know,
do you have anyone you could set me up with.
I'm just looking for a nice guy. And he's going
(28:30):
through his mental roll at X and then he pictures
you doing that and he's like, they're not going to
hit it off. Hey, Siri, when did Bob by Hanson
come out? By Hanson came out on a Wow. It
even spelled Bob with three capital ms correctly. It uh it.
(28:56):
I'm sorry, Siri. It's not a person and it's an algorithm.
It's appropriate. Lucky for you, you're more likely to die
before I do. Yeah, we watched a movie anyway, or
a movie. We watched four tweet tet tweet boat. I
(29:20):
taught my kids toy boat to toy boat the other
day and Maven, realizing she couldn't say it, burst into
laughter like it was the greatest magic trick of all time.
She's like, toy boy. She's been saying some funny things lately.
Was She's trying to think of the word for vel
(29:43):
crow the other day and she was like, can you
do the scarecrow? And then and I was like, um,
what do you mean? She was like, oh, I mean
the gare crow. She literally he said that. She's like
she's always doing stuff like that where she just like
(30:03):
she makes us like a really weird word. No. Yeah,
Britain was talking about Star Wars and maybe it goes Starblowers.
I was like, yeah, Starblowers. Yeah, she's great. We watched
Toy Story for It's a great movie. Um, it was
a little part that dragged, but it was very good.
(30:24):
And Brittan Maven love this movie. The first movie I've
they've seen a long time. Were the next day they're like,
can we watch this movie again? When I was growing up,
my little brother and I would just want to watch
the same movies over and over and over. And I
think that's true for a lot of kids, but not
our kids anyway. They love Forky. Um work was funny.
(30:46):
I so need to watch a movie, mostly because I
saw them watching a little bit of the other night,
but also I was on an airplane last week and
I was kind of watching it over someone's shoulder on
their TV screen, which I think to its credit. You know,
it's like one of those Disney movies. It's very visual.
It's like good animation, and so you kind of know
(31:08):
exactly what's happening without hearing it. And I was like, oh,
this is like good storytelling. It was like, oh, I
mean the toy story movies are incredible storytelling. Um. But
Forky is an art project and he suddenly he gets
brought home many he's suddenly alive, but he doesn't know
he understand that he's a toy, and so he keeps
(31:29):
seeing the trash. He wants to throw himself away because
he comes from the trash. And Brendan Maven love this.
It's really a great metaphor for toddlers, like their trash. No,
they're just like running into the street like they don't know.
You're like, hey, people care about you. You're idiot. No forky,
(31:53):
no forky, You're not trash, You're a toy. But at
the end of that movie, there's a they they see
a girl who's lost. I'm not going to give it away.
It's not important, but it's a and Maven first into tears.
It just ran over to me and needed a giant hug.
(32:15):
It's so sad to see a sad child. Scary. I
mean it's not, it's fine. I mean Toy Story three,
they like accept death. I started going down that shoot.
It's to me, that's a much heavier movie. Um, but
it was emotional and I was like and I was like, yes,
this is what movie night is all about. What I
(32:38):
do like about moving it is it does force us
to dig into these movies that Bryn doesn't normally watch.
And so it is like these Disney movies that have
like real, real emotional core to them, and like are
Bryn likes that? Like it's nice to see that he
feels things when watching a movie. I talked about this
(33:01):
with him tonight. I don't know how he can he
brought it up something about him. He was like, sometimes
I feel things. Yeah. We just finished Charlie and Chocolate Factory.
I've been reading it to them um, and he said
something about I've been essentially having an emotional reaction to something.
And I was like, yeah, that that's why I like
(33:21):
movie night. Why movies are great because you can get
into it and care about people and then and you
can feel feel things that makes you. Oh. We were
reading a book at the end of which Gerald and
Piggy that goes, this book makes me feel big things
and he goes, what does that mean? And so that's
started the conversation about getting into a story and feeling emotions.
(33:45):
I was like, like, when you saw Tory story for right,
you felt sad and happy and scared. He goes yeah,
And I'm like, you don't feel that when you watch
those YouTube videos, do you. He's like, no, that's why
Daddy hates those videos. He rolled his eyes at me. Really,
there's no feeling to it. There's no story. It's just
(34:06):
a purple dinosaur next to I didn't go to acting
school for four years, so you could watch Blippy. Have
we talked about Blippy a hundred times. But have we
talked about his the larger context that there's an article
about Blippy about how before Yeah, he's the clickbait guy
(34:28):
has been trying to find ways to get people to
click on l and he did it with Blippy. Okay,
so there's new news about Blippy, which is that. So
Blippy is like, you know, probably a ba jillionaire because
his YouTube channel has so many followers or whatever, and
he does appearances and he can make it. He makes
(34:49):
I'm sure he makes like a bazillion dollars to be
Blippy angry. I know, well it I don't know. Anyway, clickbait.
He's he's doing his thing, he's making his money. So
Blippy they did. They announced a tour of a Blippy
ship like a live show. So obviously parents are like, well,
(35:13):
this sounds like hell on Earth, but I'm going to
do this for my kid. And you know what, we
don't judge parents here, but you're a bad parent if
you took your kid to play He's No. Here's what happened.
They there was a thing where a bunch of parents
got mad because in the very fine print they said
that Blippy would be played by an actor, not the
(35:36):
real Blippy. So Blippy wasn't even doing his own appearances
and he's garbage. They're doing you a favorite. This is
what I think it is funny, is like your kid
doesn't know. You're probably lucky that you're getting this person
who's like a committed performer, has a personality the real Blippy,
who's probably some burnout who didn't shoot on his friend
(35:57):
in the video. Well, but parents were like why when
I say that that's a real thing that happened. That's
not a joke. But parents were like angry because they
spent a ton of money on these tickets. It's like
this is like a high dollar ticket value, like the
parents that. Well, I commented on an article that someone
(36:18):
posted because it's like this like went to court or something,
And I said, I find everyone involved guilty of Blippy
because it's not you got yourself tangled up in this
Blippy web. We all know we're too much a part
of it. So I put a child password lock on
(36:40):
the Amazon Prime because Amazon Prime is as bad. I
deleted YouTube and Amazon Primes almost as bad with that,
like mindless, just which which ourson admitted gave him nightmares. Yeah,
and so the other day I come into the room
and Bryn is the weekend he watched TV. He picks
up the remote and he opens the Amazon Prime and
(37:04):
just plugs in the password five digits And I go,
how did you know how to do that? That'saw, mommy
do it? I don't even understand because our password has
like three digits that are the same number that you
just hit it three times fast. I don't know how
he observed that because there's a key pad, you know,
(37:25):
on the screen. It's just it's crazy child safety. There's
no way he's going to figure it all out. He
already has. Our children are too swhart listen. I just
want to take a second because I know that there
are parents listening who let their parents let their kids
watch Blippy. And you probably feel pretty judged right now.
Now we've let our kids watch Blippy. Yeah, and I
(37:47):
just want to say, you're you're a great parent, but
end the Blippy now. It's it's it's stopped the Blippy.
It's not harmless, it's the larger it's harmful. I'm sorry,
I'm irrationally upset about Whippy. I mean, if we're going
(38:08):
to boycott Blippy, we might as well get off of
Amazon the which is a horrible corporation. But we haven't
done that. I've deleted the Apple bunch of times. And no,
we still are Amazon Prime members, like we still give
the money. That's really useful though, But I'm all about
deleting Amazon Prime. You're all about it. Yeah, there's some
(38:28):
good shows on there, but I don't want Brandon watching
that crap. I want. I think the hard thing is like, Okay,
we work in the entertainment industry. If you suddenly had
an offer tomorrow that was like, hey, do you want
to be a star of Amazon Prime's newest series, you
would be like, yeah, I want to be an actress.
That's fine. They have real shows. That's not the point.
(38:50):
Is like, like our subscription to try to see the
shows feeds into their larger Like yes, of course, because
I want to feed you. Yeah, it's so selfless. No,
this is all a selfish thing. I'm not trying to
solve Amazon. I just don't want I want brain watter.
I'm just saying we're all complicit and Amazon, We're all
(39:11):
complicit and blippy. I just I want to admit that
and be honest. I still Amazon. I bought a cubs
hat from some random, crappy vendor. This is a major
issue besides all of amaze. You need to be careful
which vendors. I didn't check and I ordered it July
(39:32):
and they won't let me get a refund and it's
a nightmare. And maybe we need to invent to ourselves that,
like free shipping, is not worth dealing with a company
that's not giving their workers a living wage or whatever
the hell they're doing. You know what, I'm even more
selfish that I'm just upset about the hat. Anyway, this
(39:55):
has been watching. This next segment is called would you Knows?
That's where we present each other with parenting hypotheticals. It's
(40:18):
been a while since we've done this or come up
with one. And no, that wasn't a listeners. We're real
light on emails this week, so I have one. Okay, ready, Okay,
Now this is sort of dark now that I'm thinking
about what. No, I'm gonna say it confidently. Okay, So
(40:45):
you are going to fall into a um groundhog Day
situation where you're going to relive the same day over
and over and over and over, but you have a
unique twist to it, which is movie day Movie Night
Rules is that you're being presented with three days from
your life. Uh did you get to pick from Movie
(41:09):
Night Rules? Okay, you're going to present me with the
three three days that that you have to pick to
live over and over and over and over again, and
we're using Movie Night Rules. Yeah, I'm giving you. Okay,
the genre is the genre because you love to have
(41:29):
the theme is I guess super intense days, super intense days.
That the days are the day Britain was born. Okay,
well he was born at four thirty in the morning,
(41:50):
so I have to live it from twelve am. Yeah.
So the day starts with you being like, give me
the epidural and we're like it's too late. It's with
me being like, got him out of me at this
end any way possible and me saying I think not anyway. Um,
(42:11):
that one the day Naven was born, Um when she
was born in the Honda fit as we all know now,
two of the most painful days of my entire life.
So I'm hoping this third is the day you you
got your thyroid removed, The day I got my thyroid removed,
(42:35):
I was put under I actually, why would I excuse me?
I mean, meeting my kids was great, but everything leading
up to it is like not not worth reliving the
moment of meeting them. I'm sorry, it's like, oh boy,
(42:56):
it's only only four and a half hours of life.
So much of the joy of meeting my children was
just relief that I was no longer having contractions Like
I was like, oh, you're so great and not a contraction.
I love you. You were such a not a contraction.
(43:19):
Oh boy, yeah, I should have thought of a worse
third day. There's nothing worse. Okay, so can I This
is I want to come back to this in a second.
But this week I went to a friend's show, um,
(43:42):
which was great show, and it was great to be
out at all. I put the kids to bed, and
I drove the city to see this show. And I
was rushing there. And I got there and I went
up an elevator and I turned the corner, I bought
my ticket, went up these little stairs, and in this
little vestibule between the box office and the actual theater,
I suddenly realized where I was, which is I was
(44:04):
in the spot where I first met you, and I
had not had not been there since that moment, and
it was very emotional. And then I went into this
theater and I realized the first time I ever saw
you was on this stage, and so I was like
in in in the same audience where I first saw
you on stage. And it was at a time when
(44:24):
I was single, so I was like every eligible lady
around me, I was like, maybe maybe this one would
like me? And remember is this the one? And you're
on stage with a bunch of very funny women and
you were the one, and I was like, I was like,
I like that one. And then I met you outside
(44:44):
and you don't you said, you don't really remember. I
vaguely remember meeting you. I don't remember much about the
location of meeting you. I remember kind of vaguely watching
you on stage, and I remember being on the stage,
but us meeting after the show, I don't like specifically
(45:05):
recall the surroundings. I think you'd recognize it. But it
also wasn't much of a meeting. Remember it wasn't a meeting. Also,
like I was meeting you in the context of my
friend being like, here's the guy I have a crush on,
the friend who I was very soon about to betray. Um,
(45:25):
So that's like the context, I was like, okay, cool,
he seems fine. I guess like I was like, oh
my god, I had been talked up. You've been talked up,
and I was like, this isn't okay. All right? If
that's your thing to eat her own. I guess he'll
(45:46):
make someone a happy wife someday. I don't know, but
all I know is definitely not me I do. Here's
what I do remember I think about meeting you because
this was like your signature look at that time, is
that you were wearing a sort of maroonish red dress
(46:08):
shirt and a black tie in the style of a waiter.
That was usually how you how you rolled up. That
was how we dressed for improv shows in college. It's
like still fresh out of college. Yeah, so you're like,
and also my old college group was performing. We had
(46:30):
our ties on. Yeah, so you're like, would you like
smoking or non smoking? Um? You want smoking or non smoking?
Hot future husband? Non smoking? Okay, right this way? Um
it is something i've I did not think about the
fact the context that you met me as set up
(46:53):
as somebody else's crush. Yeah. I was like, well, good
for you, right, good along with this weird waiter. I
was like, I guess in a certain light, I could
see why someone might' she's good, you know if you're
(47:16):
if you're into that sort of thing. But jokes on me, folks,
Well see that's why you don't remember it. Because I
was in the room talking to everybody else, but I
had you in mind. I was like, who is that
hot non waiter? You really? Who is that enchanting creature
(47:38):
who lights up the stage? She was not with her
flared gene, who was not quite old enough to buy
alcohol legally. She seems to be asking other people to
buy her drinks. If one observes carefully, she's cool and
collected and scary because she's not saying any words. I'll
ask her out on a date in which I will
(48:00):
say all the words I know, and she'll say twelve.
She's sort of like a Sally from The Nightmare Before Christmas. Yes,
I'm then you are the Jack Skellington. You're like, Christmas,
what is this? Let me explain Christmas to you. Let
(48:22):
me men sxplain Christmas. You were just born literally our
entire dynamic at that moment in history. Um, I'd love
to be Jack skelling Overly confident, naive, skinny google skeleton.
(48:45):
What am I talking about? I don't know anyway, So
you choose thyroid day to live over and over and over.
Tyro day is like less anxiety and build up for
whatever reason, some painful and predictable and scheduled. The thing
about anxiety is it's not it's not waited appropriately to events.
(49:16):
So I can be incredibly rational. I can be very
anxious about like having to get up on a stage
and do something, whereas if I'm going to be cut open,
it's sort of like, well, I have no control over this,
I'll just go in there. Yeah. I think. Also when
I had thyroid surgery, it was like I had prizingly
(49:40):
two toddlers. Maven was like she was like thirteen months
old maybe something like that. She was like about a
year old. I think because it was like May. It
was like the end of May. So I, between my
thyroid and having two tiny children, I was just sort
of a peak exhaustion where the idea of going in
(50:02):
for surgery is like a vacation. Like it very literally
was like, oh, people have to take care of me.
Now you're getting pampered. Yeah, It's like this is like
a spa you know you had my full attention. Not quite,
but yeah, that we've talked about before. That was a
(50:27):
rough time. Yeah, I mean there's just the the thyroid
condition on top of everything else, with the exhaustion of
having two small children. Just it's like it's all a
fog to me now, like, yeah, it's also was a
nice like, oh, there's a solution to this this. Yeah,
(50:47):
it's like, oh, thank god, it's not just me that
has been walking through the world like a zombie. Like Sally,
like like a Sally real Sally Peter the Pumpkin Eater.
Oh god, that was my favorite bad joke. You're like
(51:10):
the night the Blippy of Halloween movies. You take it back,
You take that back, or we are divorced. I did
not go to four years. I didn't go to four
years of a Liberal arts b a theater. I didn't
get it. I didn't get a degree in communications that
does not specify that it was for theater so that
(51:32):
you could call me a blippy. I love you, and
I'm glad we got through those three days. And I'm
glad you spotted me on that dingy stage so many
years ago, years ago, thirteen years ago, years ago, thirteen
(51:56):
and a half, so many years it almost makes you
