  Speaker 2: the early nineteen sixties, my parents would take us out
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: for a Sunday drive and we wouldn't stop any place,
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: just drove around in a gas guzzling's station wagon. Yes,
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: Sunday drive. I feel like I saw that on TV
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: and in the.
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: Movies, never stopping.
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, that was enjoyable at one point.
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: Right now, the Pretty bunch, they'd be in their station
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: wagon and they'd be singing ninety nine bottles of beer

  Speaker 1: on the wall. They wouldn't say beer though. Back on

  Speaker 2: Remember there being a lot of smoking on the beaches.

  Speaker 2: Do still people still smoke a lot on the beach
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: and then just stomp the cigarette out in the sand.
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: I believe they've really cracked out on that.
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but yeah, they have cracked down on that, I hope.
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: And something real quick, because Kristen and I have kids.
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: I still here to do this, but we never did it.

  Speaker 1: A little rum on your on the baby's bottle to
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: calm crying, like wow, yeah, and even teething, they'd be like,
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: pull a little rum over the tooth if they're teething.

  Speaker 1: Naomi was like six months old.
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: Yeah, dad, I know, we don't do that anymore.
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: Daddy will do it.
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: Maybe we do, who knows, But apparently it works. Yeah, yeah,
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: some of the old school things work. We're not talking
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: about that specifically. Also, spending hundreds of dollars on plate
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: sets that you're never allowed to use. I think a
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: lot of that. Like you know, we talk about weddings
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: and what to bring, and that's just not on registries anymore,
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: right where people want the fancy plate set. Yeah, and
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: or silver or all these beautiful things. They're beautiful, but
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: then you're afraid.
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: To use them. You never used them. Yes, the same way.
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: All our guests got the nice handhouse, nice towels.
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: But then they're afraid to use them. Like my guests
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: have actually said, should I use this towel? Or do
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: you want me to eat? It's like, yeah, it's there
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: for you, Yeah, exactly, it's okay. Yeah. Getting places without
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: maps on your phones. We have revisited that so many times.
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: Even there was a point where you didn't even have
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: map Quest.
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: Nope. My dad. In fact, we got a big argument
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: on a road trip because I couldn't fold the map
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: back into the left apartment.
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: Oh that's hard, and he was.
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: He says, you can't fold a blank map.
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: No I cannot. I know they're huge and you have
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: to get.

  Speaker 1: It perfectly and rectangled and square it up and then
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: bring it in and then.
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: And I told you we would do road trips, not
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: to nowhere. On a Sunday, we went to Florida or something,
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: you know, really torturous and without ac in a card,
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: and my dad would map everything out. You'd get in

  Speaker 2: touch with Triple A in advance and they would send
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: you a map and you would like flip through it.
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: You didn't unfold it. It was like like you know,
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: flip cards kind of.
