- 0:34Speaker 3: I saw this podcaster they're talking about this, and I
- 0:37Speaker 3: was like, ah, I get it. So they're saying type
- 0:40Speaker 3: one fun, yes, is like roller coaster, roller coaster or
- 0:44Speaker 3: an arcade game. But as soon as you're done with that, yeah,
- 0:47Speaker 3: you're done. You don't think about it any other time.
- 0:50Speaker 3: Type two fun is impactful fun. It could even suck
- 0:54Speaker 3: in the meantime. So it could be like you go
- 0:56Speaker 3: on a journey hiking, it's sleeping as you're miserable, you
- 1:01Speaker 3: hate it, but it's impactful that you never forget it,
- 1:04Speaker 3: and it you look at it as like this incredible fun.
- 1:07Speaker 3: And I realized listening to them that our childhood is
- 1:11Speaker 3: type two front because we were Terry said today we
- 1:15Speaker 3: were feral kids.
- 1:16Speaker 4: Oh yeah.
- 1:17Speaker 3: We were on the bayou throwing rocks at the alligators,
- 1:20Speaker 3: you know, without a thought of this could kill us.
- 1:24Speaker 3: We were running behind the mosquito fog machines, you know,
- 1:27Speaker 3: like basking in it as we were. You know, we
- 1:29Speaker 3: were like feral kids.
- 1:31Speaker 1: Okay, I didn't run behind them. What I did throw
- 1:35Speaker 1: I did try fishing for an alligator I had, absolutely
- 1:37Speaker 1: and then I eventually just decided I was going to
- 1:40Speaker 1: try and hit it with the five pound weight.
- 1:42Speaker 4: Oh my gosh, Steven and I did, uh, And.
- 1:45Speaker 1: Then I went that was a big gator.
- 1:46Speaker 4: I probably should I did not run behind mosquito.
- 1:51Speaker 2: Fog mason like you're in a fog show coming out
- 1:54Speaker 2: of a day.
- 1:55Speaker 4: I did not do that.
- 1:56Speaker 1: Now, I went hiking off of my own through the
- 1:58Speaker 1: woods and through the creek and a lacrosse and my
- 2:01Speaker 1: parents had no idea where I was.
- 2:02Speaker 3: What I'm talking about, your fer that's a feral kid.
- 2:05Speaker 3: That's type two kids where you are just out there exploring,
- 2:08Speaker 3: and that when you think of your childhood, you go
- 2:11Speaker 3: back to those moments of exploration.
- 2:14Speaker 1: Pine cone wars, Pine cone wars.
- 2:16Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, And I'm so sad because I feel like
- 2:18Speaker 3: our children are not our grandchildren because we're older are
- 2:23Speaker 3: experiencing that, because we're so scared of them going out
- 2:26Speaker 3: and experiencing that, they're going to have to wait till
- 2:28Speaker 3: they're older to go experience. You know, they're doing type
- 2:30Speaker 3: one fun, you know, the momentary kind of fun.
- 2:34Speaker 2: Well, the idea of them going off by themselves until
- 2:37Speaker 2: the night lights come on is like foreign now because
- 2:41Speaker 2: you know too much, We see too much.
- 2:42Speaker 4: We know that there's you know, pedophiles that live among us.
- 2:45Speaker 1: I just couldn't give my kids to go outside.
- 2:47Speaker 4: Really. It's like I'll be like, go outside.
- 2:50Speaker 1: They're like, what do we do wrong. I'm like, you're
- 2:52Speaker 1: in the house, go outside.
- 2:55Speaker 3: Yeah, well ours just forced us to.
- 2:58Speaker 2: And our my children lived outside, were outside people for sure,
- 3:02Speaker 2: But this day.
- 3:03Speaker 4: And age, it's it's so it does.
- 3:05Speaker 2: It feels like there's a lot of fear about what's
- 3:08Speaker 2: out there?
- 3:09Speaker 4: Where are you? And they can you know, watch it
- 3:11Speaker 4: on the phone, which you.
- 3:12Speaker 1: Can track your kids so much easier now than My
- 3:14Speaker 1: parents had no idea where I was for hours on
- 3:18Speaker 1: it every day.
- 3:19Speaker 3: Yeah, they did not have twenty four hour dateline shows.
- 3:23Speaker 4: That's right, Yeah, that's what I had. Milk we had,
- 3:28Speaker 4: That's right, I.
- 3:29Speaker 1: Mean, I mean, that's that's enough with your breakfast reading
- 3:33Speaker 1: the milk cartons.
- 3:34Speaker 2: But you know, I think our kids, I think this
- 3:36Speaker 2: generation of children, little ones, are missing out on that
- 3:39Speaker 2: that faroh.
- 3:40Speaker 1: Play, I'll tell you talk about type two type of play.
- 3:43Speaker 1: That's that's basically the type two type of fund. Basically
- 3:46Speaker 1: you have to put something into it to get something
- 3:48Speaker 1: out of it. I think of my my time playing
- 3:50Speaker 1: sports like that. So soccer practice, it was awful. You know,
- 3:54Speaker 1: I'm having to work, and but it's such an integral
- 3:58Speaker 1: part of my memories and my joy that, you know,
- 4:03Speaker 1: I still dream about playing soccer, you know, you know
- 4:06Speaker 1: what I mean. So I take sports to be a
- 4:09Speaker 1: part of that type two rather than a type one,
- 4:11Speaker 1: because there's a lot of effort that you have to
- 4:13Speaker 1: put into it to get something out.
- 4:14Speaker 4: Of it, and that shapes you.
- 4:16Speaker 3: I mean, that kind of joy and if fun shapes you.
- 4:18Speaker 2: And even the harder parts of it become funny. Like
- 4:21Speaker 2: my kids will talk about the things that they did
- 4:24Speaker 2: that you know. They One time Slade was on his
- 4:27Speaker 2: little dirt bike and went over this cliff down to
- 4:30Speaker 2: where the railroad tracks are and came back.
- 4:32Speaker 4: He's all bloodied.
- 4:33Speaker 2: And you know that's they were fairal and that sense
- 4:35Speaker 2: they were on our little on our land.
- 4:37Speaker 4: But they look at those.
- 4:39Speaker 2: Times as like, I don't know, like a badge of honor,
- 4:42Speaker 2: like you know, we got to do this. And still
- 4:44Speaker 2: I found out when my children were adults that Still
- 4:47Speaker 2: did a wheelie with the four wheeler in summer fell
- 4:49Speaker 2: off and he was like, listen, if you tell on me,
- 4:51Speaker 2: we'll never get to do.
- 4:52Speaker 1: This every Yeah, Bailey had the same situation.
- 4:56Speaker 2: It's not the grace of God that there is, okay,
- 4:58Speaker 2: but there's something to it.
- 5:01Speaker 1: So I guess the key is that type one type
- 5:03Speaker 1: of fun you don't have to put anything into it
- 5:05Speaker 1: to get anything out of it, but type kind of
- 5:07Speaker 1: fun you have to put something into it to get something.
- 5:09Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 5:09Speaker 2: Is that like the type one is like I take
- 5:11Speaker 2: a poster, I take them to the museum or support.
- 5:15Speaker 4: Is that what im?
- 5:16Speaker 3: It's like a thrill. It's a thrill.
- 5:17Speaker 2: It's thrill, okay, remember, and it's great, but it's not
- 5:20Speaker 2: their own.
- 5:21Speaker 4: Little shaping you. Yeah, just a moment of fun.
- 5:24Speaker 1: Yeah, Yeah, I guess the roller coaster doesn't really shape
- 5:26Speaker 1: because you know before you get on.
- 5:28Speaker 3: Yeah, it's I.
- 5:28Speaker 1: Mean, unless the roller coaster gets stuck and then that might.
- 5:31Speaker 3: Shake Type too fun.
- 5:33Speaker 2: Yeah, although you'd never gone to another roller coaster.
- 5:37Speaker 1: Yeah or type one. If you like to ask, mom
