1:19
Speaker 3: watching it and I started following it. It's like grown
1:22
Speaker 3: because when they first started there, like our goal is
1:24
Speaker 3: to reach twenty thousand people following us. Well they're at
1:27
Speaker 3: half a million now, Wow, in like a week, two weeks.
1:31
Speaker 1: People just watching kids go play.

Speaker 1: I said, yeah, me and you talked about that, you
1:39
Speaker 1: never comment on my stuff.
1:40
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't comment, but I'm watching. I'm watching. But
1:43
Speaker 3: it's that the good old days are still being lived
1:46
Speaker 3: right now by a generation we think the good old
1:49
Speaker 3: days are over because they were hours and they're gone.
1:51
Speaker 3: But no, right now kids are living the good old days,
1:55
Speaker 3: and we need to recognize that we are too.
1:58
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know at that little what's the name of
2:00
Speaker 2: their little creek crollers, creek callers. The thing that I
2:03
Speaker 2: loved was the things that they do are what we
2:07
Speaker 2: did growing up. And like they'll one guy will get
2:10
Speaker 2: a camera and he'll they're they're on a pier and
2:12
Speaker 2: each one jumps I'm Mitch and he jumps in the lake.
2:16
Speaker 2: I'm Joe or whatever, and jumps in the lake and
2:19
Speaker 2: does like a round thing, do their little dab before
2:21
Speaker 2: they go in or whatever, like we used to do
2:23
Speaker 2: at the pool. And then the last one that's holding
2:26
Speaker 2: the camera it kind of flips and this other guy
2:29
Speaker 2: holds it and he goes that now I'm Jason or whatever,
2:31
Speaker 2: and he jumps in and they're in the dirt, and
2:33
Speaker 2: then they go, we're eating our sandwiches. You know, they
2:36
Speaker 2: have their laces. We're gonna have our little food over here.
2:38
Speaker 2: You're they're almost signaling to their generation. Here's some ideas. Oh,
2:44
Speaker 2: here's some fun things you can do. Jump in the lake,
2:47
Speaker 2: jump in the pool, have lunch outside, and they go
2:51
Speaker 2: to like the superret or the County March or whatever,
2:55
Speaker 2: and like we're gonna get some popsicles and they have
2:57
Speaker 2: It's like giving people ideas that this is get off
3:01
Speaker 2: of your phone, even though they're showing they're on their phone,
3:04
Speaker 2: but they're showing things that you can do. Our children,
3:06
Speaker 2: you know, we we have a little bit of acreage.
3:08
Speaker 2: So we grew up. I mean our children were raised
3:12
Speaker 2: outside in the summer. I was I love being a
3:15
Speaker 2: summer mom. We were in the pool, We were riding
3:18
Speaker 2: our four wheeler through the woods. We collected rocks, We
3:21
Speaker 2: did all those things because our mom, while also well,
3:24
Speaker 2: she was like, all right, y'all go outside. You know,
3:26
Speaker 2: we're the eighties kids. It was like, y'all go outside
3:29
Speaker 2: and play.
3:29
Speaker 1: Just out. Yeah, my parents bought a refrigerator so that
3:32
Speaker 1: they could have water in the fridge so they didn't
3:34
Speaker 1: feel bad about walking up.
3:35
Speaker 3: Yeah, we had to drink from the water hole.
3:38
Speaker 1: Yeah, I know that. We all the neighborhood kids came
3:40
Speaker 1: to our house to get the water and then we
3:41
Speaker 1: did whatever.
3:42
Speaker 2: You know, all think about all of the neighborhood kids.
3:45
Speaker 2: We were all together. Oh yeah, all of the parents
3:48
Speaker 2: told us to get out right, you know, and we
3:49
Speaker 2: had a blast doing it. I don't know that that's
3:53
Speaker 2: even a thing anymore.
3:54
Speaker 1: My kids were indoor children.
3:56
Speaker 2: They love video games and.
3:58
Speaker 1: Well, for Bailey, it was more reading, like he just
4:01
Speaker 1: constantly was reading. Julia was who knows what she was doing.
4:05
Speaker 1: She was doing it inside, but she was like moving
4:08
Speaker 1: around and I'm going to build this, I'm gonna make that,
4:09
Speaker 1: and then we're going to play this and hair Bailey
4:11
Speaker 1: do this thing for me. She was she was very busy,
4:14
Speaker 1: but she was inside right, So, well.
4:17
Speaker 3: This is this is a sad thing. That's the We're
4:19
Speaker 3: the generation of too much information. So when I watched
4:22
Speaker 3: those little boys, little creek crawlers jumping in the creek,
4:25
Speaker 3: you know what, my very first thought was that that
4:28
Speaker 3: amoeba could be in there. Oh my god, still water
4:30
Speaker 3: I did. That was my first thought was what if
4:32
Speaker 3: an amoeba goes up their nose? And then that like
4:36
Speaker 3: my first read. No, I'm telling you, I have no idea,
4:39
Speaker 3: but I thought, oh my gosh, that's the problem with
4:43
Speaker 3: my generation with children. We are so worried the kidnappers,
4:48
Speaker 3: the flush eating disease that, you know, all those things
4:51
Speaker 3: we were trying to protect them from, when really, what
4:54
Speaker 3: were we I mean?
4:55
Speaker 1: But you know, when I was growing up, my parents
4:57
Speaker 1: did tell us not to play with the water mooksins.
4:59
Speaker 1: They that was it. They did tell us that, And
5:01
Speaker 1: I remember that that was actually something my parents told
5:04
Speaker 1: me before I was in kindergarten. I remember that very
5:07
Speaker 1: you can go down the creek, but don't play with
5:09
Speaker 1: the watermarkers, and that was my parents advice.
5:11

5:32
Speaker 2: type of orm at least once in your life from
5:33
Speaker 2: being in a dirt too much? Have you really lived?
5:36

5:40
