| 0:00.0 | The Bird Show. We're always constantly learning how to be a better parent picking up nuggets here, |
| 0:06.1 | nuggets there, Cass. Yeah, I know this is going to come as a shock to most of you, but I actually |
| 0:10.9 | don't know everything. And so I tried to learn from other people's life experiences. And that way, |
| 0:16.5 | I don't have to go through them by myself, someone else does the work and I benefit. But there is one thing |
| 0:21.2 | that Bert, you've been talking about lately, that I caught myself in a moment with my kids and I |
