You said Smith is starting school today.
Speaker 3 (00:09):
Smith is starting second grade today.
Speaker 2 (00:12):
It's probably good that he's going back to school. He's
got a lot of energy in that, doesn't it.
Speaker 3 (00:15):
I tell you something.
Speaker 4 (00:17):
On Saturday night, my entire family went out to celebrate
my sister Jacqueline's birthday. And just so I can paint
the picture to you and maybe you've been to this place.
There's a newer restaurant here in Michigan in Birmingham specifically
called Tara. Great place by the way, absolutely phenomenal food.
Love it, so a huge shout out to them.
Speaker 1 (00:36):
What kind of food is it?
Speaker 5 (00:37):
So they kind of have a.
Speaker 3 (00:38):
Little bit of everything.
Speaker 4 (00:39):
I mean you can get like pasta, you can get steak,
you can get like crispy rice, you can get like
a little bit of everything. And everything I've had there
is very very good. So it's one of those places
that is very viby. So it's got the restaurant with
a lot of tables and booths and stuff, and then
they have the front of the restaurant has those I
(01:01):
don't know if it's windows or doors that open all
the way, so it kind of feels like you're outside.
If you're sitting toward the front of the restaurant, then
there's a sidewalk, and then they have a patio with
lots of tables on the patio, so just you can
kind of like envision the setup of this place. So
my family we all sat toward the front of the restaurant,
(01:22):
and at one point, after the kids, Lucy and Smith
and my niece Stella had gotten done with their food,
Lucy had said, Hey, we're gonna go outside. I'm gonna
We're gonna walk up and down the sidewalk, which is
totally fine, like we could still see them, although my
back was to the front of the place, so whatever,
she's eleven years old. I totally trust her with the
two kids. Well, wrong, totally fine until I could kind
(01:45):
of see everybody in the restaurant looking outside and up
and my sister, who was sitting facing the outside, goes,
I think that you should maybe look at your son
as it's like the the slow turn in my chair
to see Smith was in a tree hanging like.
Speaker 1 (02:08):
A sloth over all.
Speaker 3 (02:10):
Of the people.
Speaker 4 (02:11):
Reading on the tables on the patio.
Speaker 3 (02:15):
I was like, oh my god. I was so embarrassed.
The kid had climbed the tree and was just hanging.
Speaker 4 (02:22):
There, and he was a kind of high to you guys,
and you could hear all the people in the restaurant like.
Speaker 1 (02:28):
Tree.
Speaker 4 (02:29):
I got up so fast and ran outside to get
him down.
Speaker 2 (02:33):
Was embarrassing to yell get down from there, like did
you I didn't even have to yell.
Speaker 4 (02:38):
I got to the bottom of the tree and looked
up and he saw my face and it was like.
Speaker 3 (02:41):
Every parent knows, like you talked to your teeth.
Speaker 4 (02:44):
You don't even have to really say anything, and that
was me, and he very quickly got it down.
Speaker 1 (02:50):
If it's not your child, like I would have loved it,
That's what I'm saying you. If you're the table right next.
Speaker 2 (03:06):
Everybody, everybody loves the screaming baby, unless you're sitting next
to the screaming baby on the airplane.
Speaker 3 (03:12):
Who is horrible?
Speaker 2 (03:13):
Horrible mother does this child to feed him? This kid
up in that tree, and I think into.
Speaker 4 (03:21):
Themselves so high, keV, you couldn't just reach up throw
food up?
Speaker 2 (03:25):
Did he have to like when he got up in
the tree, did he have to uh like maneuver by
like the chairs and the tables and stuff like that.
Speaker 4 (03:35):
Honestly, don't know it, like it. I just wanted to
get him down so quickly.
Speaker 1 (03:39):
Is he climbing things? Is that like the he.
Speaker 4 (03:42):
Will climb lamp posts, he will climb trees. We were
at the the Michigan State tailgate on Friday and he
had climbed a tree.
Speaker 1 (03:51):
So hot climb.
Speaker 4 (03:56):
He's that kid, which I love, just not when it,
you know, ruining up somebody else's dinner experience.
Speaker 1 (04:04):
All right, So there's a couple of ways I can
go on this one.
Speaker 6 (04:07):
Here.
Speaker 2 (04:07):
I can go you can obviously go with the kids
that are climbers, or we can go with the parent
that's not watching their kid in a restaurant what their
kid was doing, like you know, call call out the kid,
like you know, call out whatever the kid is. If
you're somebody at a restaurant and there's the kid running
around or pounding on the booth.
Speaker 1 (04:27):
Was he one of those kids growing up?
Speaker 5 (04:28):
No?
Speaker 4 (04:29):
No, honestly, no, he was usually pretty good. It's just now,
at eight years old, he's.
Speaker 1 (04:33):
Got a If you go to dinner and you have children,
sit them in between the adults. Do not put them
on the edge. They have access. They get up and
run around.
Speaker 3 (04:43):
Well, I thought Lucy would.
Speaker 4 (04:47):
Lucy is so good and I even said I was like,
lou you're supposed to be watching him, and she's like,
I tried, Like, she came up, She gave up. She
had my niece who's five. She was worried about her,
not Smith.
Speaker 2 (04:58):
So real quick because I'm thinking back to was I
don't know when it was, was a Friday when Smith had had.
Speaker 1 (05:07):
Morning to miss it. Do we have a bird update
for us? Do we have a U?
Speaker 4 (05:13):
What's the what's the bird passed away?
Speaker 3 (05:18):
No?
Speaker 4 (05:20):
More than I woke up on I'm trying to think
what morning it was Saturday or Sunday. And it was
very quiet in my house and both kids were not
in their beds, so I knew they were in the
garage with the bird. And I walked in the garage
and both of them were just holding the bird, crying.
Speaker 3 (05:33):
No, no bird.
Speaker 4 (05:34):
The bird survived four more days than I think it
would if we would have left it in my yard.
Speaker 1 (05:41):
But it was more than did you get the bird?
Speaker 2 (05:43):
Looked at it all to see if the bird had
any kind of diseases at all, Like do we know,
like what what the story was with this bird?
Speaker 1 (05:49):
Like was the bird heard that bird? Maybe maybe that.
Speaker 4 (05:55):
I had Premiere pet supply delivered bird seed to my
house after the show on Friday.
Speaker 3 (06:00):
I mean, we really try.
Speaker 2 (06:01):
For those that missed that podcast, you got to listen
to that because Miss fid Tony called up and was
basically like, you gotta kill the bird and Smith was fighting.
He was like, you're not going to kill my bird.
I was like, man Smith eight years old, he was
going up against me.
Speaker 4 (06:16):
He had a burial ceremony for the bird, so he's
now buried in our yard.
Speaker 1 (06:21):

to deal with that, you know what I mean?
Speaker 6 (06:25):

Speaker 4 (06:26):
Lucy was holding the bird and I walked out and
she's just crying, crying, and she showed as she like.
Speaker 3 (06:31):

Speaker 1 (06:36):

a dirt pole.

on top. That's about it.

I was just go home and let you know. We
had an issue like that some time ago where we
were in a restaurant. Someone's kid was while we were
me and my wife were eating. This kid is sitting
or standing on the back of the seat, banging and
looking over our shoulder while we're trying to eat. The
parents didn't say anything until they until I got up
(09:22):
and turned around. And when you're looking at a twenty
twenty pound man looking at you and telling you to
sit your child down. Everything changed that everything.
Speaker 2 (09:32):
By the way, I love it that kid remembers you
now for the rest of his life, Sean, every restaurant,

Speaker 1 (10:03):
Do you remember the time you climb the tree? What's
going on?
Speaker 5 (10:09):
I wanted to say that my kids are just feral.
They are just feral kids. So I thought I had
already experienced everything with my older three. I was wrong.
My youngest we were at a restaurant and I literally
just turned to turn my head for a quick second.
He was in the booth next to me. Everything was fine.
(10:31):
Next thing I hear and see is the fire alarm light.
That feral booger pulled the fire alarm. I thought that
my embarrassment meter had already been next papped out with
the other three. Like my daughter used to run around saying,
