December 27, 2023 • 17 mins
We're cracking open Cherry Cokes and swapping stories—from Jay's festive video creations to musings about the latest in film. Revel in our anticipation for a new masterpiece from Japanese animator Miyazaki, and hear us cackle over "Dawn of the Nugget," the much-awaited "Chicken Run" sequel. Plus, we're spilling our thoughts on the perceived shifts in safety, as we contrast the statistics with the sentiments on today's playgrounds.
As the conversation turns, we delve into the digital realm where the lines between virtual and reality blur, particularly for our kids. The recent Roblox lawsuit has us unraveling the complexities of online gaming safety, prompting us to share how we navigate parental controls and the digital guidance we impart to our own children. We're also peeling back the layers on how the content of video games can influence young minds, just as much as other adult behaviors. Listen in as we advocate for a more vigilant approach to gifting, emphasizing the significance of knowing what kind of entertainment we're placing into the hands of the next generation—a heartfelt reminder for parents and anyone playing a part in a child's life.

Speaker 2 (00:51):
It is Well, we talked last time about the holiday
scene underneath our tree.
Yeah, we're ready to do thefirst recording video of it,
with it all running and moving,and put it on my Facebook page.
Speaker 1 (01:04):
So this weekend maybe ?
Yes, yes, nice.
So has your kid seen it do itsthing yet, of course, he's
helped us build the whole thing,so you don't have a great
reveal for him.
No, he's working on it all theway through.
Speaker 2 (01:18):
Yeah, well, he's nine , so his participation is
dependent on squirrel Squirrel.
Speaker 1 (01:25):
Yeah, shiny, shiny, shiny outfit yeah.
Speaker 2 (01:26):
So there's a basketball Mm-hmm, you know.
And then when our neighbor sayswe can use his whoop any time
we want, as long as there's nocars in the driveway, yeah,
that's nice.
Well, now he's got reason to gooutside more.
Yeah, that's great.
Speaker 1 (01:37):
Yeah, it's kind of weird.
I mean, you know how?
I don't know how it was for you, but in my neighborhood there
was basically kids outside 24-7.
You know, nowadays I don't seekids out in the roads no, hardly
at all.
They're all doing other thingsnow.
Speaker 2 (01:52):
No, kids nowadays doesn't know what it means to be
playing and go car yeah, andthen have to get out of the way
and let the car pass and go backin the street and keep playing.
Yeah, kids don't play in thestreet anymore.
Speaker 1 (02:02):
You know, I think we're going back to the
beginning of time.
We're all hiding in our cavesand we're afraid a dinosaur is
going to eat us.
I actually read an article onWall Street Journal a couple of
weeks ago maybe a month now andthey said that United States is
the safest place it's ever beensince the history of the United
States.
Right now, yet, people seem tobe scared more than ever.
Is the safest?
(02:24):
It's the safest it's been sincethe creation of the United
States as a body.
You know.
What do you think I?
Speaker 2 (02:32):
have a hard time with that one.
Yeah, based on how, like yousaid, people are scared, can't
even drive down the road withoutworrying about if someone's
going to pull a gun out or runyou off the road.
Speaker 1 (02:44):
People are nervous.
You know, I don't know what it.
Maybe it's all that free weed,you know the legal weed, or
something making everybodynervous Racks.
Speaker 2 (02:50):
But it feels pretty safe.
Oh, it's flower power again.
Speaker 1 (02:53):
Are we going back to flower power?
Oh jeez, sorry.
Moving on, moving on, all right.
So we got a couple of coolmovies coming up.
I'm really kind of excitedabout them.
So Myazaki came out with a movieand it seems like it's you know
all.
Have you seen any of his movies, the Myazaki movies?
Not that I'm aware of.
So he did like Castle in theSky and stuff like that.
(03:15):
So he's a Japanese animator,just really kind of interesting
films that are kind of.
They're kind of poetic and funto watch, but really off the
hook, you know, kind of like,like they said, the Castle in
the Sky is about this kid thatgoes to, you know, essentially a
city that's floating in the skyand they have another one where
(03:40):
these, this, this, this boy andhis mom and dad have to move
for their job, and it's all inJapan, you know, in Japanese,
and then they do subtitles kindof thing, and it's he, the, the
parents go eating this food andthey start eating this food and
then they start eating andeating.
(04:01):
Slowly.
The parents transform into pigsand then they go work on a pig
farm, you know, or whatever, andthe kid ends up working in a
steam house, a bath house downin the bottom working the coal
to power the steam engines, topower the steam house up above.
Anyway, really interestingmovies.
(04:21):
You should check them out.
They're all in Disney and youshould check them out though,
because they're some of them butthey're all kid-appropriate,
you know, and but they're veryfantastical.
You know, they're kind of likethat, that, that Harry Potter
kind of takeoff movie.
You know, the Fantastic Beastsor something like that.
It's kind of like that, butcartoon version.
Speaker 2 (04:43):
Huh, if you've seen that, yeah, that's the Fantastic
Beasts.
Speaker 1 (04:45):
Yeah, so and it's, it's, it's entertaining, you
know, for sure, very originalideas, this Miyazaki stuff.
But there's another moviecoming out.
You've seen Chicken Run?
Yes, uh-huh.
This one's called Dawn of theNugget, dawn of the Nugget.
Speaker 2 (05:02):
yes, If I remember correctly, this is where they
need to break back in to achicken farm.
Speaker 1 (05:11):
Ha?
They got to break into achicken farm.
Why are they going to do that?
Save all the chickens.
Speaker 2 (05:14):
Save the child.
If I remember right, the childgets fantasized by being on a
chicken farm about how happyit's going to be.
Oh, ok, and then the hero fromthe last one.
I can't remember the name rightnow.
Right, they get their crewtogether and break in to break
out.
Break in to break out.
Speaker 1 (05:35):
Yeah yeah, all those chicken movies are pretty funny.
Chickens in general are prettyfunny.
What's your guys' favorite?
Do you guys have a holiday, orChristmas or Hanukkah?
Do you have a funny movie thatyou guys watch?
This time here.
Speaker 2 (05:50):
Well, there's lots of good ones.
We're going to try to see ifJameson can handle a Christmas
story.
Speaker 1 (05:58):
Christmas story yeah, ok, yeah.
Speaker 2 (06:00):
So we'll see how he likes that one this year.
We've done it before, but he'sbeen younger, but Jameson's
really like in the animatedGrinch that came out just a few
years ago.
Speaker 1 (06:10):
Oh, ok, yeah, that's great.
Yeah, you know what I justwatched by accident.
Adam Sandler, about in themid-90s, came up with a movie.
It's an animation of him andhe's like a grumpy guy during
Christmas.
It's an animation and he's allthe voices in it.
That sounds familiar.
(06:30):
Yeah, and I've never seen itbefore.
I only watched about half of itand then I fell asleep on the
couch but I was trying to watchit.
It was pretty funny.
You know, it's normal grossdorky or his humor, it's just
normal humor stuff, but it waspretty interesting.
I never saw it, but mine isHome Alone and National
Lampoon's Christmas Vacation, ohyeah.
Speaker 2 (06:51):
I save it for Christmas morning and rear yeah,
Yep, yeah.
That's a good one too, Ofcourse, when you bring up Adam
Sandler.
All I can ever think of is theHanukkah song with eight crazy
nights, oh yeah.
Speaker 3 (07:02):
God damn, that's funny so at any time.
Speaker 2 (07:04):
Adam Sandler and Christmas time.
Of course it's Hanukkah, whichis fantastic.
That's all I think of is hissong of Eight Crazy Nights.
Yeah, yeah, If you actually puton the Disney holiday playlist,
they have one by David Dogsthat's called Puppy for Hanukkah
.
Puppy for Hanukkah yeah, that'sa cute one, that's a fun song.

I don't remember.
Speaker 2 (07:48):
And singing.
I hear it.
Speaker 1 (07:50):
Where's the one where he's sitting on the chair
singing oh Hanukkah?
Speaker 2 (07:55):
I haven't.
It sounds familiar, but I don'trecall at the moment.
Speaker 1 (08:00):
Hanukkah song, Adam Sandler.
Jeez, where is it?
Oh, it's a Chanukkana song orwhatever.
Let me see if I can pull thisup here.
Hold on.
Speaker 2 (08:14):
We're going to sing a song right now.
You might know the words too,so if you ask me, I'll say it.
Let's get started.
Hold on to Yamaka.
(08:50):
It's time for Hanaka.
So much Hanaka, to say it allback.
Hanaka.
Speaker 1 (09:06):
Hanaka is the vegetable of life.
Speaker 2 (09:13):
Instead of one day of presents, we get eight crazy
nights.
Speaker 1 (09:19):
That's pretty funny, though there's eight crazy
nights.
Yeah, eight crazy nights.
Yeah, that's the one.
Yeah, so Christmas, fun time ofyear, fun time of year.
What are some of the?
Do you have any early memories?
Speaker 2 (09:33):
Early memories.
Like that blew your mind.
The early memories I have iswhen I lived with my mom and dad
in Massachusetts and dad was inthe Army and on base there.
Where we lived, we had, I wantto say it's around six or eight
two-story homes, you know,apartments, tunnels, whatever
(09:55):
you want to call them.
They're all connected to eachother.
And as we were coming up onChristmas well, anyone, who's
these coats?
You know we had snow for months.
Washingtonians, I'm sorry,Washingtonians, you can hate me
if you want, but you don't knowwhat snow is.
Yeah, they're getting blastedthis week too.
Yeah, and you know, we had snowforever and I remember this.
(10:17):
One year I was playing and thenall of a sudden, I got called
to the living room and there wasa whole bunch of people over.
Because you know, that's whatyou did on base right, you all
went to someone else's house andthere was Santa.
Oh really, yeah, right there inour living room.
This was actually our house.
You know, it wasn't at someoneelse's.
(10:38):
It was so amazing and kids gotto sit on his lap.
Holy crap, it was absolutelyamazing.
And I think that year I got theigloo maker.
Speaker 1 (10:50):
You ever get one of those.
Yeah, it's like a little clampthing.
Speaker 2 (10:53):
Just a rectangle box with a handle on it, packed snow
in it and then put it down likebrick makes a brick.
Yeah Right, and I remember thatyear all of us got together,
kids and adults, and in betweenthe four complexes we built a
massive igloo that we would goin.
We could actually go in it.
It was so much fun.
(11:14):
That's cool.
Speaker 1 (11:15):
The beginning of your Lego situation.
Speaker 2 (11:18):
Yeah, basically I had Lego back then.
You know, back then the Legotracks were actual individual
rails.
Oh yeah, they weren't preformedinto the size they are now in
the Lego rail.
I think it was a little bitlonger than the straight track.
Yeah, and you actually had toget your own plates and bricks
and space them correctly and putit.
(11:39):
Yeah, they come a long way.
Yeah, they made it for somethings.
They made it too easy for us toput together.
Speaker 1 (11:46):
Well, when they come.
That's what I really don't likeis they come now in the
individual packs, one throughwhatever you know.
Pack one, pack two, pack three.
That's not how I played withthem.
Speaker 2 (11:55):
No, they came in a jumbled ass box and you just
pour it out and shit flieseverywhere and hopefully you can
lose one 3,000 pieces and youdon't have them in individual
bags, so you start with this oneand then go to this one, you
pour it all into a big box or onthe floor and had fun.
Yeah, have them.
Forbid if you had a dog or acat or a thick carpet.
Speaker 1 (12:15):
Oh yes, the one by ones are gone.
Yes, yes, the little studs.
Speaker 2 (12:19):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (12:20):
They just burrow away .
Yeah, so what?
Let's see what do we got goingon?
We got some techy stuff goingon.
Speaker 2 (12:27):
Yes you wanted to talk about, oh, Christmas time
and all the presents, Roblox.
Speaker 1 (12:33):
Oh, yeah, you brought up that article yeah, yeah,
basically there's a lawsuit.
This article is reallyinteresting because I'm always
my boys are old and stuff andthey've moved on from having to
worry about this.
A lot of people have littleguys still and little girls and
(12:53):
this is a lawsuit that claimsthat roadblocks is failing to
protect the kids.
You know, in a couple ofdifferent ways.
What do you think about that?
Speaker 2 (13:02):
Well, I have a nine year old.
Yeah, is he playing this game?
He has Roblox, oh shit.
And this is all about opinionson this show, right?
Yeah, of course it's about ourown personal thoughts and
opinions.
So my thought on Roblox, onMinecraft, on online gaming, on
anything, is it goes back to theparents.
(13:24):
Yeah, the parents areresponsible for raising their
own children.
I know this may be a shock tosome people.
Ok, so would you?
So the lawsuit is that Robloxis to blame.
I set up our son's Robloxaccount.
There's parental controls, ohso, and you can lock him out of
all these different things.
Speaker 1 (13:43):
So what are some of the things that you would be
scared that he would be on onthat?
I've never played that game.
Speaker 2 (13:48):
The lawsuit.
Specifically was talked aboutone item where a girl was
playing in the game, becausethere's so many different things
you can do.
The girl went into just abathroom on the game right, not
in real life In the video gamewent into the bathroom and
someone was in there and askedher to take off her pants.
Speaker 1 (14:09):
So hold on.
So Back up a second the chat.
What is this?
What am I?
I'm looking at this game.
What am I looking at?
I don't even know what thisshit.
For some reason I thought itwas a car racing game.
No, no.
So can you describe the screento me.
Speaker 2 (14:24):
I look at it very rarely, but basically you're
running around collecting anddoing different things.
Speaker 1 (14:30):
So you see your hands , your whole little body.
Speaker 2 (14:32):
No, it's just a made up animated character that you
can?
Speaker 1 (14:36):
Is it more advanced than, say, minecraft?
Or does it look blocky likethat, or is it?
No, it's kind of blocky.
Ok, so it's blocky littlecharacters running around in a
real world, kind of deal.
Speaker 2 (14:51):
In a fake real world type thing.
Yeah, OK, all right.
Speaker 1 (14:53):
OK, OK.
Speaker 2 (14:54):
So it's just in the chat.
The chat is where you can turnoff the ability to talk with
others.
Ok, and if you don't set it upcorrectly and, being in
technology, if you don't setthings up correctly, they don't
work right, right, or they dotoo much that you don't want
them to do Right, right.
So I understand the lawsuit.
Yes, there needs to beprovisions, but when I set up
(15:14):
our son's account, there's thoseblocks for that.
He can only chat with peoplethat he's allowed to be friends
with, right?
No, like Facebook, you havefriends.
Speaker 1 (15:25):
Oh, so he has to have friends, friends that you guys
are familiar with, and approve,and approve, and those are the
ones he can chat with.
Yes, ok, well, that's great,right, that's great.
Speaker 2 (15:33):
But it's the parents that don't realize this or don't
care, or whatever the situationmay be Right and they go, oh
yeah, go ahead and set one up.
And they set one up as ifthey're an adult and they can do
anything and everything andtalk to anyone in their program.
Speaker 1 (15:46):
OK.
So here I'll ask.
Here we go.
So, nine-year-old Jameson, hecan play roadblocks, yes.
Can he play the Playboy videogame, no, ok.
So if another parent said theirnine-year-old could play the
(16:06):
Playboy video game, what wouldyou say?
Speaker 2 (16:09):
I question their parenting skills.
Yeah, me too.
Speaker 1 (16:13):
Me too.
Do people really understandwhat's going on in these
internet, in these video gamesituations?
Now, they're pretty hardcore.
Speaker 2 (16:27):
Yeah, but unfortunately at this day and
age, the people with the kidsare playing the games themselves
and they don't see a problem.
Yeah, yeah.
So if you grow up being analcoholic and your child starts
drinking, you don't see aproblem because you do the same
thing.
Speaker 1 (16:45):
Right.
So for Christmas, if you'regetting video games or devices
that play video games or devicesthat are just video games, you
just got to be mindful and awareof what you're giving them and
what the controls are.
Ok, all right.
Well, that was an interestingconversation.
I think that I'm going to thinkmore about that when I give
(17:07):
gifts out for Christmas to otherpeople.
Maybe I'll just give themposters, all right.
Well, I'm Matthew Cote and thishas been a great episode of
Foundation Nation.
Speaker 2 (17:21):
Thank you very much, matt.
It's been a pleasure, as always.
Speaker 1 (17:24):

you on the flip side.

really like in the animatedGrinch that came out just a few
years ago.
Speaker 1 (06:10):
Oh, ok, yeah, that's great.
Yeah, you know what I justwatched by accident.
Adam Sandler, about in themid-90s, came up with a movie.
It's an animation of him andhe's like a grumpy guy during
Christmas.
It's an animation and he's allthe voices in it.
That sounds familiar.
(06:30):
Yeah, and I've never seen itbefore.
I only watched about half of itand then I fell asleep on the
couch but I was trying to watchit.
It was pretty funny.
You know, it's normal grossdorky or his humor, it's just
normal humor stuff, but it waspretty interesting.
I never saw it, but mine isHome Alone and National
Lampoon's Christmas Vacation, ohyeah.
Speaker 2 (06:51):
I save it for Christmas morning and rear yeah,
Yep, yeah.
That's a good one too, Ofcourse, when you bring up Adam
Sandler.
All I can ever think of is theHanukkah song with eight crazy
nights, oh yeah.
Speaker 3 (07:02):
God damn, that's funny so at any time.
Speaker 2 (07:04):
Adam Sandler and Christmas time.
Of course it's Hanukkah, whichis fantastic.
That's all I think of is hissong of Eight Crazy Nights.
Yeah, yeah, If you actually puton the Disney holiday playlist,
they have one by David Dogsthat's called Puppy for Hanukkah
.
Puppy for Hanukkah yeah, that'sa cute one, that's a fun song.

Speaker 1 (07:50):
Where's the one where he's sitting on the chair
singing oh Hanukkah?
Speaker 2 (07:55):
I haven't.
It sounds familiar, but I don'trecall at the moment.
Speaker 1 (08:00):
Hanukkah song, Adam Sandler.
Jeez, where is it?
Oh, it's a Chanukkana song orwhatever.
Let me see if I can pull thisup here.
Hold on.
Speaker 2 (08:14):
We're going to sing a song right now.
You might know the words too,so if you ask me, I'll say it.
Let's get started.
Hold on to Yamaka.
(08:50):
It's time for Hanaka.
So much Hanaka, to say it allback.
Hanaka.
Speaker 1 (09:06):
Hanaka is the vegetable of life.
Speaker 2 (09:13):
Instead of one day of presents, we get eight crazy
nights.
Speaker 1 (09:19):
That's pretty funny, though there's eight crazy
nights.
Yeah, eight crazy nights.
Yeah, that's the one.
Yeah, so Christmas, fun time ofyear, fun time of year.
What are some of the?
Do you have any early memories?
Speaker 2 (09:33):
Early memories.
Like that blew your mind.
The early memories I have iswhen I lived with my mom and dad
in Massachusetts and dad was inthe Army and on base there.
Where we lived, we had, I wantto say it's around six or eight
two-story homes, you know,apartments, tunnels, whatever
(09:55):
you want to call them.
They're all connected to eachother.
And as we were coming up onChristmas well, anyone, who's
these coats?
You know we had snow for months.
Washingtonians, I'm sorry,Washingtonians, you can hate me
if you want, but you don't knowwhat snow is.
Yeah, they're getting blastedthis week too.
Yeah, and you know, we had snowforever and I remember this.
(10:17):
One year I was playing and thenall of a sudden, I got called
to the living room and there wasa whole bunch of people over.
Because you know, that's whatyou did on base right, you all
went to someone else's house andthere was Santa.
Oh really, yeah, right there inour living room.
This was actually our house.
You know, it wasn't at someoneelse's.
(10:38):
It was so amazing and kids gotto sit on his lap.
Holy crap, it was absolutelyamazing.
And I think that year I got theigloo maker.
Speaker 1 (10:50):
You ever get one of those.
Yeah, it's like a little clampthing.
Speaker 2 (10:53):
Just a rectangle box with a handle on it, packed snow
in it and then put it down likebrick makes a brick.
Yeah Right, and I remember thatyear all of us got together,
kids and adults, and in betweenthe four complexes we built a
massive igloo that we would goin.
We could actually go in it.
It was so much fun.
(11:14):
That's cool.
Speaker 1 (11:15):
The beginning of your Lego situation.
Speaker 2 (11:18):
Yeah, basically I had Lego back then.
You know, back then the Legotracks were actual individual
rails.
Oh yeah, they weren't preformedinto the size they are now in
the Lego rail.
I think it was a little bitlonger than the straight track.
Yeah, and you actually had toget your own plates and bricks
and space them correctly and putit.
(11:39):
Yeah, they come a long way.
Yeah, they made it for somethings.
They made it too easy for us toput together.
Speaker 1 (11:46):
Well, when they come.
That's what I really don't likeis they come now in the
individual packs, one throughwhatever you know.
Pack one, pack two, pack three.
That's not how I played withthem.
Speaker 2 (11:55):
No, they came in a jumbled ass box and you just
pour it out and shit flieseverywhere and hopefully you can
lose one 3,000 pieces and youdon't have them in individual
bags, so you start with this oneand then go to this one, you
pour it all into a big box or onthe floor and had fun.
Yeah, have them.
Forbid if you had a dog or acat or a thick carpet.
Speaker 1 (12:15):
Oh yes, the one by ones are gone.
Yes, yes, the little studs.
Speaker 2 (12:19):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (12:20):
They just burrow away .
Yeah, so what?
Let's see what do we got goingon?
We got some techy stuff goingon.
Speaker 2 (12:27):
Yes you wanted to talk about, oh, Christmas time
and all the presents, Roblox.
Speaker 1 (12:33):
Oh, yeah, you brought up that article yeah, yeah,
basically there's a lawsuit.
This article is reallyinteresting because I'm always
my boys are old and stuff andthey've moved on from having to
worry about this.
A lot of people have littleguys still and little girls and
(12:53):
this is a lawsuit that claimsthat roadblocks is failing to
protect the kids.
You know, in a couple ofdifferent ways.
What do you think about that?
Speaker 2 (13:02):
Well, I have a nine year old.
Yeah, is he playing this game?
He has Roblox, oh shit.
And this is all about opinionson this show, right?
Yeah, of course it's about ourown personal thoughts and
opinions.
So my thought on Roblox, onMinecraft, on online gaming, on
anything, is it goes back to theparents.
(13:24):
Yeah, the parents areresponsible for raising their
own children.
I know this may be a shock tosome people.
Ok, so would you?
So the lawsuit is that Robloxis to blame.
I set up our son's Robloxaccount.
There's parental controls, ohso, and you can lock him out of
all these different things.
Speaker 1 (13:43):
So what are some of the things that you would be
scared that he would be on onthat?
I've never played that game.
Speaker 2 (13:48):
The lawsuit.
Specifically was talked aboutone item where a girl was
playing in the game, becausethere's so many different things
you can do.
The girl went into just abathroom on the game right, not
in real life In the video gamewent into the bathroom and
someone was in there and askedher to take off her pants.
Speaker 1 (14:09):
So hold on.
So Back up a second the chat.
What is this?
What am I?
I'm looking at this game.
What am I looking at?
I don't even know what thisshit.
For some reason I thought itwas a car racing game.
No, no.
So can you describe the screento me.
Speaker 2 (14:24):
I look at it very rarely, but basically you're
running around collecting anddoing different things.
Speaker 1 (14:30):
So you see your hands , your whole little body.
Speaker 2 (14:32):
No, it's just a made up animated character that you
can?
Speaker 1 (14:36):
Is it more advanced than, say, minecraft?
Or does it look blocky likethat, or is it?
No, it's kind of blocky.
Ok, so it's blocky littlecharacters running around in a
real world, kind of deal.
Speaker 2 (14:51):
In a fake real world type thing.
Yeah, OK, all right.
Speaker 1 (14:53):
OK, OK.
Speaker 2 (14:54):
So it's just in the chat.
The chat is where you can turnoff the ability to talk with
others.
Ok, and if you don't set it upcorrectly and, being in
technology, if you don't setthings up correctly, they don't
work right, right, or they dotoo much that you don't want
them to do Right, right.
So I understand the lawsuit.
Yes, there needs to beprovisions, but when I set up
(15:14):
our son's account, there's thoseblocks for that.
He can only chat with peoplethat he's allowed to be friends
with, right?
No, like Facebook, you havefriends.
Speaker 1 (15:25):
Oh, so he has to have friends, friends that you guys
are familiar with, and approve,and approve, and those are the
ones he can chat with.
Yes, ok, well, that's great,right, that's great.
Speaker 2 (15:33):
But it's the parents that don't realize this or don't
care, or whatever the situationmay be Right and they go, oh
yeah, go ahead and set one up.
And they set one up as ifthey're an adult and they can do
anything and everything andtalk to anyone in their program.
Speaker 1 (15:46):
OK.
So here I'll ask.
Here we go.
So, nine-year-old Jameson, hecan play roadblocks, yes.
Can he play the Playboy videogame, no, ok.
So if another parent said theirnine-year-old could play the
(16:06):
Playboy video game, what wouldyou say?
Speaker 2 (16:09):
I question their parenting skills.
Yeah, me too.
Speaker 1 (16:13):
Me too.
Do people really understandwhat's going on in these
internet, in these video gamesituations?
Now, they're pretty hardcore.
Speaker 2 (16:27):
Yeah, but unfortunately at this day and
age, the people with the kidsare playing the games themselves
and they don't see a problem.
Yeah, yeah.
So if you grow up being analcoholic and your child starts
drinking, you don't see aproblem because you do the same
thing.
Speaker 1 (16:45):
Right.
So for Christmas, if you'regetting video games or devices
that play video games or devicesthat are just video games, you
just got to be mindful and awareof what you're giving them and
what the controls are.
Ok, all right.
Well, that was an interestingconversation.
I think that I'm going to thinkmore about that when I give
(17:07):
gifts out for Christmas to otherpeople.
Maybe I'll just give themposters, all right.
Well, I'm Matthew Cote and thishas been a great episode of
Foundation Nation.
Speaker 2 (17:21):

It's been a pleasure, as always.
