0:00.0	Welcome to Jesus Listen Stories of Prayer. I'm Susie McIntyre Eaton and I'm so excited
0:13.2	to share this conversation with you today. I'm talking with the dad of two adult children
0:19.2	who decided to make easy, accessible, understandable how-to videos for the general public for anything
0:27.3	from jump-starting a car to making cinnamon rolls. Rob's made all kinds of knowledge accessible
0:33.6	for those who might not have a mentor figure in their life and even for those who do and just
0:40.3	want to learn how to do some things they haven't learned yet. You're never too old to do that.
0:46.2	That's right, we're talking to Rob Kinney from the Dad How Do I YouTube channel. Here we go.

2:05.2	to the older kids. I'm one of eight just so you know, so I'm number seven. Yeah. And he basically
2:11.4	said, you know, I mean, they're going to put the kids in foster care or the older siblings are
2:16.4	going to have to take in the younger siblings. So that was that was a pretty tough thing to hear
2:21.5	from my dad because I was actually there when he said it. And yeah, so I went to live with my brother.
