Ninety seven point one Wash Them withToby and Chilly in the Morning. I
can't tell you how many times inlife I've had to scrap plans because,
you know, as a single dadwhose co parent lives far away, sometimes
you have to well prioritize and coparenting. Parenting being an adult takes priority.

(00:20):
But now, Chilly, You've foundsomething that will allow you to have
some flexibility when it comes to thisadulting thing. Ninety seven point one Wash
FM, Toby and Chilling in theMorning. What is it? It's really
date night right among adults about theparents. There's a restaurant in Schenectady,
New York that is offering an incredibleservice. So they have a six course
meal for the adults seventy five bucksahead, which is a little steep,

(00:44):
but with that comes complimentary childcare.Is a great idea that been a round
back rood of day, it wouldhave been game changing. They're going to
have a separate room dedicated for thekids to kind of hang out and play
while mom and dad or mom anda date or dad in a date are
in the dining area having an youknow, very lovely meal together without having

(01:06):
to have hired a sitter, andit's a win win. It's a win
win because now there are more andmore restaurants that are sort of banning kids
because they can be disruptive. Well, this restaurant is taking the opposite approach.
They're like, look, we stillwant your money. They're like,
we're all about the family and we'reall about your money. So we'll just
have a little area over here wherethe kids can hang out and have a
little platedate while you all have anice Italian meal. Now, while I

(01:29):
think it's a great idea and Iwould have personally been able to benefit from
that back in the day, doyou chilly think that given some of the
things you've told me about, youknow, your son and some of his
needs and whatnot, would you beable to enjoy the dinner of someone else
that you didn't know was watching yourkid like that because there were just the
next room right like I'm still aroundlike you if there was some major issue

(01:52):
that happened, come and tell youwhat's you and me going over there?
Like you know, check and Nope, the shelicopter would not be a flying
around that restaurant, not as anine year old, like if he was
an infant maybe like I don't know, but whatever, No, not at
this point. At this point,I would welcome it with open arms.
I think. I think if thisidea flies, potentially it'll go to other

(02:15):
restaurants. Yes, I agree,and I think we need to start in
downtown Washington d see at any ofthe Think Food Group restaurants, Jose Andrea's
Place, and then maybe the foundingFarmers Group people places and things, and
well basically all the restaurants and DCshould do this because think about all the
money you would make and then you'dbe considered family friendly. Tremendous idea.
