This is a newsletter and deeply personal space for us to share family life, homeschooling, and music with you all. We have been writing on Instagram and email for years, but ever since leaving social media behind with our smart phones a few years ago, we have been looking for another space to connect in a meaningful way.

| 0:00.0 | All right, folks, before we jump into today's episode, we wanted to let you know that we are not going to be posting on the YouTube, the video version of our podcast on YouTube for the next season. |
| 0:12.5 | We've got a handful of commitments that are going to be taking our time, some travel coming up that's going to make the video side of the podcast just more logistically challenging. We want to keep the podcast going, so we're going to be bringing our microphones with us. And so we'll still be posting the podcast. And you can, the best plate is really to listen is maybe iTunes or Spotify or on Substack. We're also going to be posting our podcast on Substack and sharing it there as well. And so if you get top five Tuesday, we'll link that |
| 0:38.9 | below. You'll still be able to see where our podcast is at. If you already listen to our podcast, |
| 0:43.6 | nothing's going to change, right? Really, the only way, the only thing is going to change is for |
| 0:47.7 | those of you that watch or listen to our podcast on YouTube. It won't be going up on YouTube |
| 0:52.7 | for the next season. |
| 0:55.7 | So that's that, that's the announcement. Okay, that's the announcement. |
| 1:01.7 | But today, Katie, what are we talking about? We're going to talk about a few things that our |
| 1:07.2 | parents did that we will never do. And this is like a surefire way to do these things, right? |
| 1:13.6 | Like you never say never is so true. |
| 1:16.6 | You guys have listened to us say things that we would never do that we've already done. |
| 1:21.6 | So Florida has a sense of humor and the never is maybe a little strong in some of these instances. We believe, |
| 1:28.9 | as of now, we will never do these things. Right. Yeah. And it's, again, I mean, we just interviewed |
| 1:35.7 | Katie's parents and we've interviewed my parents, Katie's parents, numerous times. And I mean, |
| 1:41.5 | hopefully our listeners know how we hold both of them in just the highest |
| 1:46.1 | regards. And we have so much respect and admiration and appreciation for how they raised us. And so |
| 1:51.6 | none of this is really coming from a critical heart. I think it's just kind of coming more from |
| 1:55.8 | like a preferential heart. Just kind of like, oh, you know what? We've got a different personality |
| 1:59.6 | than our parents in these areas. And so it's going to look a little different. I do, I just heard this quote. |
| 2:05.3 | Somebody at father, son ministry shared it last week. And it's attributed to Mark Twain. And he said, |
| 2:12.6 | when I was 14, my father was a fool. I didn't listen to anything that he said, and I couldn't |
