  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: And it's in the kitchen. Yeah, didn't I say, Cubby,
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: this is like adulting.
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: It really is.
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: It's a little adulting lesson that these are things we
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: need around the house that once we start to get,
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: quote unquote, responsible, you will find that your parents were right.
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Like, I mean, look, a will. It's always kind
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: of hard to talk about, but it's very important. And
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: my wife and I did one before the kids were born.
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: With instruction.
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: Yeah, all that kind of stuff.
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: And I felt a lot better walking out of there
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: knowing people were covered.
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: It's tough to do again, but boom, it's locked up
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: in a vault somewhere and we're good.
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: Although we might have to tweak it. I think I have.
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: To start tweaking. I did mine before Eric showed up.
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so how often do you tweak a will? This
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: is a whole new conversation.
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: So Eric's on his own now. I know it.
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: And you didn't have Archie the last time you did
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: your will, right? You got to get the cat in
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: there now.
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: I did.
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: We didn't have kids.
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: I think, yes. I think we all have to go
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: back to the drawing board.
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: Flashlight and lots of batteries. Yes. You got to have that.
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: That's a good example of buy it before you need it.
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: That is so true. My father always had that stuff.
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: You don't need them as often anymore because it's kind
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: of changed with technology, but he always had light bulbs.
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: And a weather radio.
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: Oh, a weather radio.
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: Remember the one radio that would just do weather? And
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: it would be like an automated voice.
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: Yep. Current temperature in Cape May is 52 degrees. Winds.
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: It was just that. Spare keys for your car and house. Yep.
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: The wet dry vac. That's a big deal.
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: We don't have one of those in our home.
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: You need one of those because it's also on your
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: water leak detector. So if your hot water heater ever goes.
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: I have one of those.
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: Okay. So you have the detector.
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: It's right by the water heater. So if something happens,
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: I'll get it.
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: It'll alert you. That's important. Because once that baby starts
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: to leak, you can't stop it. And that's like if
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: you have a wet vac that's going to help you.
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: I learned you need a bucket and sponges because ours
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: started leaking. Like really, that's so basic, but you need it.
