Summary

In this episode, we dive into the growing concerns around social media, especially when it comes to our kids. When is the right time to let them have accounts? How do we protect them from the chaos, cruelty, and constant comparisons that come with it? And why does it feel like every conversation online eventually turns into a political battlefield, where it’s always one side versus the other? We’re unpacking it all!

What if there was a stalker or something or somebody was following your kids and your kids had no idea and your kid post, oh I'm at the water park and that person shows up at the water park. You're right. You're right. No idea. We are, yeah, I don't know. I was going to say something else, but I'm not going to do that. Hey guys, episode 156. We're back. We're back.

0:28.2

Remember what I used to do with the numbers when we were... Hey guys, episode one, 56.

0:26.4

We're back.

0:27.4

Remember what I used to do with the numbers when we were in single digits or double digits?

0:31.9

Mm-hmm.

0:32.9

I lose track now.

0:33.9

56 remind me of Lawrence Taylor right off the top of my head.

0:35.9

You don't know who that is, but it doesn't matter.

0:37.3

I don't know why.

0:38.3

Numbers, like I associate things with numbers and it pops in my head.

0:43.0

So like football players, basketball players, 23. What do you think of Michael Jordan? Well, there you go. See, I do it with I do it with like everybody. Oh anyways, I'm to the job. That's awesome. I'm out of you. Okay. So somebody sassy joking. The boys and I went to a water park yesterday, which it was cool for you, Jordan.ossin and I had not been okay, wait, I have a story though. So I took Lawson to that water park when he was 15 months, maybe 18 months. We had just moved to Denver. I didn't know where to go. Your brother and sister-in-law came in town with their, I don't know how old the girls were

1:26.8

then.

1:28.2

And Lawson was just a baby.

1:30.5

And I remember me and Lawson just sitting by the waif pool and your brother and them

1:34.2

going to ride the rides.

1:36.2

And I told Lawson when we went there, I was like, I know you're not going to remember

1:39.4

this place because you were so young.

1:41.2

I was like, but that was the last time you were here. Yeah, I know. I haven't even been there because every time you take them there, I'm working. I've never been to that water park. Well, you would have to take off there. I would never go on the weekend. Yeah. And I just heard a story. Was it today? I think it was this morning. Did you go yesterday or the day before? yesterday. Yeah, because this morning I heard a story, it wasn't the the water park that you went to it was a different one. It was a pirate's cove out here in Colorado There's a story that a little girl got brought into the bathroom and Assaulted allegedly. I don't know. I feel like I'm still on a TV show where I have to say allegedly But that did happen but the point I'm trying to make is is like just things are different now. You know, I actually sent it to you. And then you always tell me, I work at a news station, like you don't know the news. And I sent it because last week, so there is a park that's a right beside Pirates Cove. And I just was there with the boys. And there were some interesting characters there that day. Water parks and airports, you know, you get to see true Americana. Oh, yeah. You know what I mean? You get to see who people really are. It's just in the public area. I actually, I talked to a friend today and someone was wearing a shirt at a family park that said, I eat pussy. Oh. Lovely, right? Yeah, for a water park with kids. That's great. And I, yeah, we both were talking about it today, but going back to what you were saying, it's like you have to keep an eye on your kids at all time. Yeah, I always go back to like, it was always like that. I mean, things did happen in the path. There are people have horrible stories, horrible things happen every day, unfortunately. But I just don't know if it's more so now, but it's kind of like when you look around like a water park or airport, it's like you're on social media, but like all those people are on social media, but you get to kind of see their faces. You know what I mean? And like you're not supposed to judge people, I totally judge. I'm like that person would totally write me something bad on Instagram. That person would be my friend. You know, I just people watch and I totally judge a book by its cover, even though you're not supposed to. kind of tell who people are based on the t-shirts that they wear that say I eat. You know what I mean? You're kind of putting it all out there saying that. You know? Who would who would wear that? What are some of the things that are worn? I'm like, wow, I wish I had your confidence that you have. I would make you wear that. There's whole people watching. It's great. I just sat. Okay, I never thought I would be the person

4:28.6

wearing a Fanny Pack. I had my neighbor went with me. There were nine kids, all of us. We had nine kids all together. And I had my Fanny Pack. And I was holding her keys. She held her phone in a long plastic pouch that went across her neck neck and we were laughing because I was like, I used to make fun of parents wearing the Fanny Pat. No, you gotta go for it. And she was looking at me with my necklace. But that way, I didn't have to put my stuff in a locker. I don't even trust the lockers. I don't want to put my keys. I don't want to put my card in there. And that way it doesn't get wet because I'm not really riding the rides. I'm just there for my kids to have a great time and I'm just watching them. So I would watch them. I was exhausted, you guys. I would make sure that they were up in line and then be like, okay, they're in line. They're up there high enough. And then I'd walk down halfway and be like, okay, I can see them and I'm like very Weird about that whenever I'm at the park. It's like I'm constantly watching them Yeah, people awesome would run off because he would get excited and he's with his friend I'm like loss in I keep telling you you have to like stick with me and I had like everybody's drinks And I'm holding everything and I was so hot. I was so hot. But I did it. And you know, and my arms today are so sore from carrying the rafts up the hill for them and helping them. I was tight, tight. It was inflatable rafts full of air. Get pretty heavy, you know, but it'sdown. No, you were going up it in kind.

6:05.8

Everybody, there was a lady in front of me. She was with her grandson and she had a pull off to the side and she sat under a tree and had to get her breath. Because she has a grandson. Yeah, I listened. I was out of shape too. I was half an impuffin. People always say like, you know, don't helicopter your kids and things like that, but I find myself doing that too.

6:25.8

You know, and I know you have to, you know, let them fly at some point, but they're only eight and six. And again, just a crazy world, I feel like we're getting too much information. Every single thing that happens, I know what I think that happened at the water park was right in our backyard here. You know, we go to that water park, but it's like you get every single detail of every single thing that happened bad across the whole world in an instant. And I don't think our brains are meant to retain all that information at once, you know, whether it be politics or this or that or whatever's going on, you know, global things. And all that's coming out of set once if you just doom scrolling all day.
