I'm one more thing.
Speaker 1 (00:06):
We're gonna talk about summertime for kids coming up in
a little bit, and a hot new phrase that everybody's
discussing thanks to the New York Times. See if you
agree or disagree. But we'll get to that in just
a little bit. We don't. We don't do what Katie why.
It was show's favorite catchy new words. Yeah, catch a
new phrases.
Speaker 2 (00:28):
Used to be they would have to like reach you naturally.
Now some wise ass little thirteen year old punk can
come up with a phrase in Bayonne, New Jersey, and
I'm it's inflicted on me by the next afternoon.
Speaker 1 (00:41):
I don't want it, not in the market. So we
don't usually do breaking news on the podcast. He's here.
He will be listening to this days or years later.
I don't know when. But this is pretty good.
Speaker 2 (00:54):
It really is something, And if you're listening in the future,
this will remind you of Trump's crazy style of communicating.
So it's as we as we speak on the seventeenth,
Is that right? A June twenty twenty five. The whole
israel Aron thing is that it's peak and whether we're
going to rub out the Iyatola's question in the air,
(01:16):
and Trump tweets out, we know exactly where the so
called Supreme Leader is hiding. He is an easy target,
but as safe there, we are not going to take
him out kill in parentheses with an exclamation point for now. Yeah,
we know what you mean by tak him out. We
didn't assume we meant take him out for dinner. We
knew you meant you're gonna.
Speaker 1 (01:36):
F and kill him.
Speaker 2 (01:37):
Kill. Well, look, kill, We're not going to take him out,
kill chains. We're not going to take him out kill
at least not for now. But we don't want missiles
shot at civilians or American soldiers. Our patients is wearing thin.
Thank you for your attention to this matter. No, that's
actually the end of it for you for your attention
(02:01):
Appy email.
Speaker 1 (02:02):
Yeah, a little of his old CEO days slipped in
there at the end.
Speaker 3 (02:06):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (02:07):
Hey, we noticed your dues for the Bedminster Golf Club
have been overdue now for a week. Thank you for
your attention to this matter.
Speaker 1 (02:15):
People are using too many paper cups at the water dispenser,
please try to cut back. Thank you for your attention
to this matter.
Speaker 4 (02:22):
Exactly that's like after Israel blows up a building Iran
and says, we apologize for the inconvenience, all right.
Speaker 1 (02:31):
Or yeah, destroyed Turan. Good luck in your future endeavors.
Mm hmm.
Speaker 2 (02:36):
If you have any questions about the coming power vacuum,
please feel free to email our team at customer service
at Israel bombas dot com.
Speaker 1 (02:48):
Thank you for your attention to this matter. Was he
trying to be funny? I don't know.
Speaker 2 (02:57):
I mean, obviously he's got to understand how horrifically funny
that is.
Speaker 1 (03:04):
You think, all right, well, we'll see where that goes.
I'm gonna skip the other thing we're gonna do right
to the hot phrase for summertime. I don't know if
you read this article in the New York Times. It
caused many tongues to wag and columns to be written
all around the world. Really, as New York Times unleashed
upon us the term kid rotting for the summertime and
(03:29):
rotting as is, your kids are rotting, And it's ended
up going back and forth with a lot of people.
I don't know where I am on this, but uh,
the idea of not having a whole bunch of planned
camps and activities for your kids, and they just hang
(03:50):
out on the couch doing nothing all summer, to which
a lot of people the kid rotting, to which a
lot of people have replied, that sounds like what my
summers were like, And I freaking loved them. Yeah, just
hanging out doing nothing with no plans whatsoever. I remember
those days. You get up, you had no idea what
you're gonna do today, and and it was just a
variety of things and are kind of nothing or whatever.
(04:12):
And it was awesome. The sense of freedom was awesome.
Speaker 2 (04:16):
Was the modern version of that staring at a screen. Well,
that's where it gets interesting. None of that stuff you
said will happen. It'll just be staring at screens, he says.
Speaker 1 (04:25):
But and I'm I'm I you know, I lean real
far toward that is it's not only it's not just
a waste of time. It affects your brain and your
attention span. But that aside, if the if, the if.
The alternative is all kinds of camps and planned activities
versus just hang out and do whatever all day long.
(04:47):
And I don't know why I've got this weird resistance
since I got to do that a lot as a kid,
my my oldest, my high school son. He is not
into video games and stuff like that near as much.
He does a lot of bike riding with his friends
and all that sort of stuff. But man, I picked
him and his friends up yesterday. He texted me and said,
we are just too worn out. We're over at my
(05:09):
friend Zach's house. Could you come pick us up and
bring us over to our house. We're just we've been
riding and it's hot, Okay. I said, give me twenty minutes.
I got a couple of things that could do. But
I went and picked them up. And I hadn't been
around this vibe in forty years, but fifty years. But
just the level of happy, relaxed the world is our
(05:33):
oyster these three fifteen year olds had with their bikes.
He loaded them up in my truck and they got in.
They were just joking and laughing and they were just
doing nothing all day long and they're gonna do nothing
the rest of the day but just hang out and
be teenagers. And it just looked fantastic.
Speaker 2 (05:49):
Well I love that, Katie.
Speaker 1 (05:52):
Yeah, I love that too. But I'm wondering if parents are.
Speaker 3 (05:56):
Signing their kids up for so much stuff because they
don't want them on their screens all summer. You know
what I mean, because I, as a kid, I got
signed up for stuff, but my parents didn't have to
worry about that.
Speaker 1 (06:08):
Yeah. Well right, Sometimes signing kids up for stuff is
your daycare for the summer since the school is out,
and you need to put yeah yeah, and that's fine.
Speaker 2 (06:18):
Although the you know what's happening around those schedule activities
have changed. Back in the day, it was what Jack
was describing. There's nothing scheduled. You're just free to do
what you want, or you can invent or hook up
with your friends, be bored together. Invente gave blah blah blah.
Now the you know, the surrounding of the scheduled event
(06:39):
is many more scheduled events. And as a fierce advocate
of free range parenting, I totally agree with you in principle, Jack,
is just the screen thing.
Speaker 1 (06:51):
What would you wing out? What would you do? What
would you recommend?
Speaker 2 (06:55):
Because I carefully scheduled free time, you will absolutely show
up on time ten a m. For the do whatever
you want.
Speaker 1 (07:07):
Man. I go back and forth with this, my thirteen
year old all the time. I've gotten to the point
where I say, I can't say it again. I can't
say it for the eight millionth time because I tried
it to limit his screen time. I don't like I'm
not as disciplined on it as a lot of my
friends are, where they've got like a timer on their
Internet or you know, their stopwatch going on it or whatever,
(07:28):
and they limit to that however many hours. But I
just like, when I feel like it's been enough, to say, Okay,
that's that's enough screens, So find something to do with that.
But what will I do? And I always say I can't.
Now I say I can't say it again. I just can't.
I can't. I can't list the things again. Walk the dog,
ride a bike, write something, play a musical instrument, draw, run, exercise,
(07:53):
I swim, we got a pool. Just I can't list
the million things you could do that aren't looking at
his But do one of them, you know.
Speaker 3 (08:02):
One of those four hundred and eighty five.
Speaker 1 (08:04):
Videos you just watched. Do one of those things, those
like the things. You're the guy in the video, not
the guy watching the video.
Speaker 2 (08:11):
You know, asking that question that way is as natural
as like your fingernails growing.
Speaker 1 (08:17):
Well, what am I supposed to do. It's true.
Speaker 2 (08:19):
I remember asking my mom that, Yeah, George Washington's kids,
we're asking him, what.
Speaker 1 (08:24):
Am I supposed to do? Kids? Get out of the cave,
your mom and I need to make your brother.
Speaker 2 (08:30):
Right right, Go play with the other you know, pre syllabic,
non language speaking, grunting cave kids.
Speaker 1 (08:42):
But there's dinosaurs out there. I don't care. Get out
of the cave.
Speaker 4 (08:46):
Jack, when the kids were in the backseat the car,
did you tell them that life goes downhill?
Speaker 1 (08:50):
And it's just all that I have had that conversation. Yeah,
you're happy. Now enjoy it while you can, because life
is nothing but a big disappointment.
Speaker 2 (09:05):
Grind it out as you work for some bastards you
don't like, You don't respect that. He hasn't care.
Speaker 1 (09:11):
About I have said that day I bed year old.
Like me, I have said to my son which I
probablyhouldn't say, because he wants, he wants to get Next
year he'll be able to get a job at a
variety of places that he wants to go, because you
have to be sixteen. But anyway, I say, and then
you'll start working, and then you will work until you're
sold and nearly dead, that none of this will matter anymore.
(09:34):
I mean, you'll never stop ever again. And it's true,
but I don't know if you need to lay that
out when you're sixteen years old.
Speaker 2 (09:41):
Oh that's so funny. We just got an email from
some pr group pitching a guest who wants to talk
about the kid rotting.
Speaker 1 (09:47):
It's the hot phrase, man's thing. Kid rotting is a
hot phrase. So New York was really on the time
on the side of uh, you know, we used to
call we didn't used to call it rotting. We used
to just call it summertime. And then there's been the pushback,
obviously with the screen stuff, and so yeah, it's become
a whole thing. But I do even if you eliminate
(10:08):
the screens, I know a lot of parents who would
think it would be horrible if their kids just hung
out with no plans every day and did nothing. Using
my finger quotes, it's impossible, as my son always points out,
to do nothing. Even if you're doing nothing, you're doing something,
and you lay around and do nothing for a while,
but you'll come up with something because you just out
of necessity.
Speaker 2 (10:31):
So it's interesting this guest pitch is actually a woman
with Campfire. I think it used to be Campfire Girls
or whatever, but it's Campfire. It's a youth development organization.
And she believes the conversation misses the real distinction. Not
all boredom is created equal. There's a huge difference between
head down boredom, head down boredom zoning out on screens,
(10:55):
disconnected from others, and head up boredom that sparks activity,
problem solving, and self discovery.
Speaker 1 (11:03):
That's an interesting turn.
Speaker 2 (11:05):
And then she pitches that camp boredom isn't a problem.
It's a portal drift. What becomes a fort, seashells become currency,
and a toilet paper roll becomes binoculars.
Speaker 1 (11:14):
No, it's not gonna help you see anything up close.
Speaker 2 (11:16):
It's just ineffective binoculars.
Speaker 1 (11:18):
Certainly, yes, the distance will seem exactly the same. I
don't think these are working.
Speaker 4 (11:31):
Jack could have just said, you know, kids, sometimes I
feel like just taking this car and driving it off
a cliff.
Speaker 2 (11:36):
No, no, no
Speaker 1 (11:41):
Well, I guess that's it.
What's old is new. It's one more thing.
Speaker 2 (00:03):
I'm one more thing.
Speaker 1 (00:06):
We're gonna talk about summertime for kids coming up in
