Going in jud Go? What is that from Going n
jug going ninjun Go? It's from a movie? Is it
from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Power Rangers?
Speaker 2 (00:18):
No, I'm just.
Speaker 1 (00:18):
Kidding it for Power Rangers too. What a great family.
Speaker 2 (00:22):
So Mickayla brought up a really good point of what
we want to talk about for this next segment because
so much of what we do is family oriented, and
that was a perfect example. What a great family that
just walked out of the studio, just amazing.
Speaker 1 (00:36):
You can tell that they're raising their kids.
Speaker 2 (00:38):
Right, and that is what we're going to go off
of that right there, raising your kids right when it
comes to sleep.
Speaker 1 (00:45):
So, okay, I saw something this week and it made
me think about Mindy having your kids come home. But
also one so far yeah okay one, yeah, I'm not
going to give you more than one on that, but
also about like high school kids when you think about
it in junior high kids, do you have a sleep
supportive family or no?
Speaker 2 (01:04):
Because you saw something online and it was basically saying what.
Speaker 1 (01:08):
That this girl was saying. You know, my mom, if
I tell her I slept until ten am, she would say,
oh honey, you needed that good job or some families
will be like, it's time to get your butt up
and get out of bed and do some work on
a weekend when you might sleep in. So that's the definition.
Do you have a sleep supportive family? Did you have
(01:29):
a sleep supportive family or not? Six one four nine
eight eighty six If anyone wants to chime in six
one four eight two one wtv N.
Speaker 2 (01:37):
And as a mom or a dad or a grandparent,
does it bother you to see your son or daughter
sleeping in and sleeping in and not being productive or
have they worked hard all week and the weekend comes
and they just need that time to catch up. Because
there's really two different ways, all kinds of different ways
(01:58):
of looking at this topic.
Speaker 1 (02:00):
So I asked you how your mom and dad were,
and then how when your kids were over at your
mom's house, they were about sleep? So how did you
grow up with sleep?
Speaker 2 (02:10):
I am a sleeper inner, Like, this is my lifestyle
right now, even to this day, and it's never really changed.
I love to stay up late, and I love to
get up late. I will stay up later than anyone
in the household, watching shows or reading or something. It's
just kind of like my own quiet time. A couple
of the dogs will stay down with me, A couple
(02:30):
go up with Randy. I've always appreciated sleeping in. The
older I get, the less sleeping in I can. It's
like my body clock changes and I wake up earlier.
Speaker 1 (02:41):
That tells me. Your mom and dad lets you sleep in.
When you were a teenager, they did.
Speaker 2 (02:46):
I don't think it was ever an issue, but I
think it when it becomes an issue is if kids
are lazy and they are not working hard all through
the week and they are sleeping in all the time,
that would drive me crazy as a parent. But we
really my sisters, my I mean my sister and my brothers.
(03:07):
No one was really lazy in our family. So if
mom let us sleep in, it's probably because we kind
of earned it.
Speaker 1 (03:14):
We weren't lazy. You know, you don't know my sisters,
but you know about my sisters, and you know we
all worked hard, got good grades, were involved in the
community and with our school. We were not really allowed
to sleep in.
Speaker 2 (03:27):
Like, what's sleeping in to you? If you look at
your boys right now, what is sleeping into them? Eleven? Yeah,
I'd say that sleeping in.
Speaker 1 (03:36):
Yeah, if we were still in bed at ten o'clock
on a Saturday or Sunday morning. We would hear about it.
My parents to these tell did you go to bed?
I mean on a Friday or Saturday night, like what
a normal kid would when you go out and come home.
And we had a curfew of like you know, eleven
or midnights when we were in high school and in
college maybe a little later, but part of it was
(03:57):
because of Sunday Mass. I will tell you that, like
they wanted to get up to go to ten, we
had to go to ten o'clock mass. But no, like
my parents to the point of mindy, my dad slams
cabinets and walks loudly even to this day to wake
us up.
Speaker 2 (04:15):
I really have that.
Speaker 1 (04:17):
They are not a sleep supportive family.
Speaker 2 (04:19):
So are you Have you kind of carried that down
to your mouth.
Speaker 1 (04:23):
I haven't, because I do think when you work hard,
you should be able to sleep. And Christian is not
a person who sleeps in much past like eight thirty
or nine on the weekends. So no, I haven't carried
it down unless if I agree with you, if they're
not doing anything during the week and not trying harder
other things, yeah, you gotta get up, but like, I'm
(04:43):
not going to carry it down. Because we were good kids,
we should have been allowed extra time to sleep. Kids
don't get enough sleep as it is.
Speaker 2 (04:49):
I agree with that, and that's why you know, with
Cammy moving home, I would love for her to sleep
in because she's constantly on the run. So I worry
about the op what's it. I worry about her not
getting enough sleep. When do you get sick in life?
You get sick when you don't get enough sleep. She
is burning the candle at not just both ends, but
(05:10):
all five ends of a candle, constantly going. So when
she does get the chance to sleep, I'm gonna make
sure the dogs don't make a sound that's impossible, make
sure every household item is shut off. I want her
to sleep. So I think it stems from either man.
If that's all they're doing and they're not out there
working and they're not being productive, that's sleeping in.
Speaker 1 (05:32):
That's a probably probably depressed.
Speaker 2 (05:33):
And that's where parents need to step in and say,
get your butt up, make something out of your day.
God gave you another day. Go out there and enjoy
it and do something with it.
Speaker 1 (05:43):
The hardest thing, and this is I try I will
always remember this, and she will not love that I'm
telling the story when we had Christian and brought Christian home.
The first night at home was really hard, and I
remember they let Logan come upstairs at like nine am
because we were still sleeping because we had been up
all night. And Logan came up and banged on our door.
(06:05):
Christian was in our room in a bassinet, and I
looked at my mom and I was.
Speaker 2 (06:09):
Like, what are you thinking?
Speaker 1 (06:10):
What are you thinking about doing? And she was like, well,
I just thought it was time for you to get up.
Oh my gosh, we were just brought a baby home
from the hospital. You do not know what our life.
That is what she did to me.
Speaker 2 (06:21):
Did you ever have a conversation with your mom and dad? Oh?
Speaker 1 (06:23):
Yeah, like as you I was not a got older.
Speaker 2 (06:26):
And just said, why did you never let us sleep?
Speaker 1 (06:29):
I want to now now that I've seen this, I
never had heard of this concept of sleep supportive, but
it makes.
Speaker 2 (06:34):
Heard of it either. Yeah, I never heard of it.
Speaker 1 (06:37):
I think they thought. I think they thought we were
being lazy, But I don't think.
Speaker 2 (06:40):
You don't have a lazy bone in your body. No, Well,
maybe that's because they wouldn't let you sleep in.
Speaker 1 (06:44):
Maybe maybe you are who you are because of that.
Speaker 2 (06:47):
Now, I will say this. My mom, on the other hand,
when I had Kylin, my first born, and the older
he got, and same with Cammi, when they would stay
the night with Grandma. With my mom, she would let
him sleep till all lens of whatever because she was
at enabling grandma. But again, Kylin and Cameron, they were
constantly on the run, either playing AAU or travel ball, yeah,
(07:09):
or school work. I mean they went to a Catholic
school that was very a lot of homework, so they
didn't really get a lot of chance to sleep or
sleep in.
Speaker 1 (07:16):
Well, maybe conversation has made you all think anyone who's
listening about how you show up, if you're sleep supportive
or not, and maybe the good or the bad behind
whatever side you're on right now. Yeah, And so that's
why we wanted to talk.
Speaker 2 (07:29):
I thought when you originally wanted to talk about this,
it was like two different sleep schedules because Randy and
I are on completely different schedules. He wakes up so early,
goes to bed early, and like I said, I'm late
and late.
Speaker 1 (07:40):
I mean, I think that's totally different. Conversation because actually,
like that with couples, you got marriage with the marriages,
so that is sleep.
Speaker 2 (07:49):
You guys the same schedule, you Marcus.
Speaker 1 (07:50):
We're not as far apart as you guys are. But
he doesn't go I mean I go to bed at
like nine thirty or ten o'clock during the week, and
I think he goes to bed at like eleven, so
he's like an hour behind behind me.
Speaker 2 (08:01):
Yeah, so Randy's getting ready school at Krystal Ray has
got to be one of the first ones in Central
Ohio to start back. The freshmen start back tomorrow. I
think in a way, Randy's glad because I would give
him crap about not staying up with me, and now
he's got a reason. I gotta go to bed now, Mindy,
I gotta get up early in the morning with you.
But you know, our body clocks do affect us. I mean,
(08:23):
as much as we want to sleep in, for some
people you just can't.
Speaker 1 (08:25):
And as you get older, you were talking about have
kids need it to not get sick as you get older,
really serious disease. If you have a healthy diet and
are sleeping well and do a few other things, you
can fend off disease. If you sleep well. We hope
we didn't put you guys to sleep. At the conversation,
we thought it was one that was interesting and I.
Speaker 2 (08:42):
Cannot wait for you to hear this next conversation. I
can't wait for us to talk to these guys, these
two guys that we randomly met one weekend at Indian Lake,
just out of a random conversation. They're going to be
on our show because of the adventure that they're doing
right now across our great state of Ohio.
Speaker 1 (09:00):
Keep it here to hear their story and be inspired
to do it yourself. Actually, this is what matters on
six ten WTV in
Going in jud Go? What is that from Going n

from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Power Rangers?
Speaker 2 (00:18):
