SPEAKER_06 0:01

Welcome to Inside Our Minds Podcast. I'm your moderator, Aaron Collier, and I'm joined weekly by two amazing co-hosts, Robbie McIntosh and Ashama Rucker. Robbie has autism and Ashama has Noonan syndrome, but that doesn't stop them from living life on their own terms. Every episode, we take you into the minds of Robbie and Ashama as they share their perspectives and experiences as adults who don't let their disabilities define them. Keep listening to be inspired. Good morning and happy Monday. I am Aaron Carrier with the two best hosts in the whole entire world. Robbie McIntosh. That's what I'm talking about, Ashama. Let's go, dude. I I'm not gonna lie, I was really nervous to do the intro this morning. You know why?

SPEAKER_01 0:45

Because we were doing the intro. Yeah, I haven't done it in like three weeks.

SPEAKER_06 0:48

So I'm sitting here stressing, you know what I mean? So I was like, I just gotta get that out the way.

SPEAKER_01 0:52

Heck yeah.

SPEAKER_06 0:52

But you know what I mean? I think it went pretty good. Went pretty good, but uh not as good as y'all's intros. Y'all's are freaking amazing.

SPEAKER_01 0:59

We hype.

SPEAKER_06 1:00

Yeah, we hype, yeah. We hype. Hey, guess you know what else is hype?

SPEAKER_01 1:03

What?

SPEAKER_06 1:04

188 five-star reviews on Spotify. Let's go. Let's go. Let's go, dude. That means people are loving your show. Let me just break that down. So we have an average score of 5.0 out of five. And 188 people have rated us.

SPEAKER_04 1:21

That is crazy.

SPEAKER_06 1:22

We have not gotten one review below five. That's awesome. Well, let's knock on wood, though. That's what we just did. We just knocked on wood. So do not be the first person to give us a below five. That would break our hearts. That would not be good, would it? Nope. Nope, not at all. No, seriously. We appreciate everyone out there listening. This would not be, this would not be like we wouldn't be able to do this without listeners. We wouldn't be able to do this without the 30,000 people that have chimed in and listened to y'all.

SPEAKER_04 1:49

Right.

SPEAKER_06 1:50

To y'all. So I'm super fired up for y'all and I'm super fired up for a Friday. Feel good Friday, and we're about to record a freaking awesome episode today. And Robbie's super excited. Ashama's super excited. Yeah. I am super excited. Before we dive into that though, Ashama, how was your week? What'd you do?

SPEAKER_01 2:05

Man, my week was good. Last Friday I cooked with Robbie. Yep. Um, we made uh chicken alfredo. Then I met his mom and his sister becoming a superstar, which is the best.

SPEAKER_04 2:17

Yep.

SPEAKER_01 2:18

Um, even on Saturday, um, I went to the spring prom.

SPEAKER_06 2:25

Okay.

SPEAKER_01 2:26

And I told people about the um the podcast, and so did Paul.

SPEAKER_06 2:32

Yeah. And we received a lot of reviews last week, so I appreciate you going over there and kind of spreading the word. That's awesome.

SPEAKER_01 2:38

Yeah. So um the lady called me Superstar then, the one that runs um stepping up.

SPEAKER_05 2:45

Mm-hmm.

SPEAKER_01 2:46

So and her husband be um sharing our things too, because he's on Facebook with us. So when whatever that we post, he'll share it onto his page. Let's go. Man, that's awesome. Yeah, so it was um amazing.

SPEAKER_06 3:03

Then on uh y'all were touching many people's lives, man. I mean, there's so many people can relate to you, you know?

SPEAKER_01 3:08

Yeah, so it's basically amazing. And then uh the rest of the day, I chill.

SPEAKER_00 3:14

Yeah, 100%. Robbie, how was your week? I would say that my week was super awesome, fabulous, of course. Um, and like Ashama said, we cooked, you know, um Friday on Chicken Alfred. We cooked Chicken Alfredo after our last podcast on Friday, it was super awesome. And um as we speak, you know, when she met my mom and my sister, they were getting ready to leave for Italy, and they are officially in Italy. And while they were in Italy, I felt prompted last Friday to say, you know what, if dad's at the house alone and I'm there with him, and and rather than just, you know, going and having nothing to do and then leaving, I thought to myself, you know, I think it makes sense since he's the only person in the house just to spend the entire weekend with him. And so that's what I did. Spent two nights at his house, and I did the other than these things, I did the all the usual stuff, work and day program and all that. It was super fun.

SPEAKER_06 4:12

I'm sure he really, really appreciated that. Really?

SPEAKER_00 4:15

I'm sure he really, really did have like being there for your dad or your father, yeah, dude.

SPEAKER_06 4:19

100%. And I mean that that's the thing. Like, we um I mean, us humans, we we love being around people, you know, and your dad's so used to having a house full of people, and now he's by himself, and you're like, you know what, dad, I'm not gonna let you be alone. So, man, that's awesome. And I like how you what you did last week. I see what y'all did now. Your mom was going to Italy. Yeah, you're jealous that she's gonna eat Italian food, right? Yeah, so you made chicken Alfredo, you made an Italian dish.

SPEAKER_00 4:44

Yeah, and and I will say too, you know, that when if you go to Italy based on what I heard you say last week about um the food being so good, I will say that their pizza, as my mom put it, tastes a lot like mellow mushroom pizza because you know that's how good Italian food is. She she said she would make a lot of Italian food for me in Italy, and I might have to try it. And maybe if I were to make some, I'd make if I were there, I'd make some for you too.

SPEAKER_06 5:12

Also, apparently, too, like with Italy, like they use a lot more like natural ingredients in their food. Like, we think of Italian food, and we're like, oh, it's really bad for you, it's really heavy. But apparently in Italy, like apparently it's a lot healthier than like Italian food in America because they use like actual natural ingredients. Like, I gotta get to Italy. We gotta maybe we'll take a podcast trip to Italy. How about that? Oh, that'd be fun. That's that sounds awesome.

SPEAKER_01 5:33

Oh, and you know what? What I talked to my sister yesterday and I told her that I want to go to rural Caribbean.

SPEAKER_06 5:41

Let's go. That was awesome. Go on a cruise. Yep. That'd be awesome. Dude, I've been on two cruises, both the rural Caribbean. We had a blast. So well, guys, I'm glad y'all had a good week. Y'all ready to have a great Friday? Hey, you ready to dive in? Awesome. Well, then it sounds like it is time to welcome you inside our mind. All right, let's get into it. So today we're gonna have a whole lot of fun. I uh I it was a previous episode. I know we talked a little bit about Robbie loving TV shows, radio shows, and we know his dream is to be a radio show host. So today we're gonna talk about favorite TV shows, radio shows. We're gonna talk about some video game stuff for a sham. We're just gonna have some fun today. You know what I mean? And I'm really, really fired up. So y'all ready to get right into it? Yes. Let's get right into it. So, Robbie, we're gonna start with you. Let's go back to childhood. What were your favorite TV shows slash movies?

SPEAKER_00 7:04

I had a good number of TV shows, in fact, a lot. I loved reading Rainbow. That was the longest running of all the kids' shows in PBS Kids history. It ran originally ran from 1983 to 2006, with reruns continuing to air until 2009, which was when PBS had the broadcast rights expire, something like that. I loved Teletubbies for one. I can remember as a little boy my mom buying the VHS tapes from that show, and she'd put it on for me and all of us when we were little kids. And then Barney, of course, we had the videos and and bar Barney was a good show. I grew up with that. And of course, you know, I liked shows like even Sesame Street. I liked Mr. Rogers. Um I I liked, you know, Caillou, and I I I like there there's just so many of those shows I watched growing up. I could go on and on and on about. And movies. I like Fox and the Hound, I like Bambi, I've seen Beauty and the Beast, all of the Disney favorites. It it was it was just th those it was just absolutely fascinating growing growing up with these those TV shows, those movies, and I really enjoyed them. And those are just some of the TV shows and movies that I enjoyed watching growing up.

SPEAKER_06 8:27

Dude, I'm getting so much nostalgia right now, and it seems like we live like a very similar childhood because every single TV show or movie you listed, I love. Like I absolutely loved, and I had a whole VHS collection of all these movies. Oh, did you? It's so crazy how times have changed, right? And I feel like it's I miss the old days. I really do, because right now it's everything's streaming, and you go on Netflix and you're like, oh, I I'm just streaming for hours. But back in the day you had a big stack of movies, you could look through the movies, you could look at the cases, and you're like, I want to watch right. You know what I mean? I just feel like it was, I don't know, I miss it. You know what I mean?

SPEAKER_00 8:57

Right. And I think Arthur, for one, was one of my favorite shows. Arthur was also videos from that.

SPEAKER_06 9:03

Magic School Bus. Yes.

SPEAKER_00 9:05

And I will say that now that you bring this up, I often think to myself every day, maybe the day will come, or maybe it will come someday, probably not on earth, but I can imagine myself immersing myself into that time period where all of that, all of the old stuff existed, and I I can long to see for that to happen.

SPEAKER_06 9:25

If we're talking supernatural, Robbie, where you want to immerse yourself in that time period. I want to immerse myself in the TV show. You know what I mean? Like that now, I'm saying like I love SpongeBob. You know what I mean? How cool it'd be like to be in Bikini Bottom. Yeah, that would be freaking awesome. Right. So colorful and just I love Spongebob. All right, all right, sorry. Ashama, let's go. All right, Ashama, let's go back to childhood. What were your favorite TV shows slash movies?

SPEAKER_01 9:52

My favorite TV show was Pound Puppies. Pound Puppies. Yes, and my other favorite TV show was um Eureka's Castle. Um, the cartoon was uh, let's see. The Rugrats cartoons.

SPEAKER_06 10:08

I love Rugrats.

SPEAKER_01 10:10

Yeah, the Rugrats movie.

SPEAKER_06 10:12

Who's your favorite character?

SPEAKER_01 10:13

Um, my favorite character is Angelica.

SPEAKER_06 10:16

Angelica? Yeah, she was such a butthead. You know what I mean? She was so mean to them.

SPEAKER_01 10:21

She was bullying now.

SPEAKER_06 10:22

Yeah, I like Tommy. Tommy is so cute, you know what I mean? Yeah, Chucky, Chucky's a Chucky was an interesting little fella too. Whoa, Phil and Dill. Those are the other two. Yeah, that's what it is. Yes, yes, yeah. I love Rugrats. So, dude, fun topic. Let's keep it going. All right, Robbie. What are your favorite TV shows or radio shows today?

SPEAKER_00 10:42

Today, well, so among all the change in technology that's going on with uh cable TV being outdated and due to streaming, um, I think when I watch TV these days, I, you know, seem to watch it via streaming. Like I've we've talked before about Love on the Spectrum. I can remember asking my sister some time ago, is that really TV show? And she said yes, but it's it's streaming. So I I would say Love on the Spectrum would be one my one of my favorite TV shows, because I know we talked a lot about that. And then the other thing too, radio shows. I like morning edition, and I'll tell you why. Um there was a journalist who has since passed away a number of years ago, Bob Edwards, who used to do the program. Um I th I almost say I grew up with him because he's been doing it for so long. He almost reminds me of the kind of voice that I have today where he people referred to him as like the warm baritone, and he would, you know, I've heard him say many times stuff like ice cream or that's nice or or something. He he just had a strong resonance, that reassuring voice that you could easily hear, where he said, I because I heard him say before, I like sitting at the microphone being on the radio. And it's mostly because of that journalist, that person, because of him, that I like listening to Morning Edition. So I like Morning Edition. It was on the air a long time, been on the air since 1979, and all things considered, both of those shows have been on for so many years. So I'd say those are the um those are my two favorite radio shows, the NPR mainstays that are today.

SPEAKER_06 12:22

Nice, nice, dude. Great answer. I can really like feel the passion in your voice too. So I love this. Oshama, what are your favorite TV shows or radio shows today?

SPEAKER_01 12:31

My favorite TV shows today is Love Thy Neighbor. That's funny. Is a Tyler Perry show. Um, the other one is Green Leaf. I like that one because it talks about like the drama, the Christians, and you know, everything all put together, but Love That Neighbor, that that's funny. I can go home and watch that because Hattie and um and Floyd, they the two funny characters in Love That Neighbor.

SPEAKER_06 13:02

Yeah, yeah, no, 100%. I if I if I sat here and listed all my favorite TV shows, I would probably be going on for forever and ever and ever. So great answer. All right, next question. Robbie, what's something you love growing up that still hits the same today? What I mean by that is like nostalgia, right? Like we talked about nostalgia. Right. So, like, what TV show do you watch now and you're like, you just feel like you did maybe when you were a kid or maybe when you were a teenager? You know what I mean? Like, what still hits the exact same today?

SPEAKER_00 13:30

I am super glad you asked me that question, and you know why? Because um, I mean, I could go on and on and on about this because people will hear me repeat radio. I I repeat TV and radio stuff all the time. But um, if I could go back to the TV nostalgia, I almost seem to talk to myself about it because I will repeat stuff from it. But to stay on point here, um one of those shows is the Nightly Business Report, which you know was on, it was actually one of the longest, it was also one of the longest running shows in public television history. Started in 1979 as a local Miami show, and it went national 1981, continued through the end of the year 2019. And um, and what what really astonished me, I I would say the stock market report Paul Kangus for one who's also passed away, and he would interview market monitors and street critique and all that. But I I say, you know, one of my favorite moments of that show was when it's then major underwriter Franklin Templeton would pop up. You know, I can remember being as a little boy, being all so excited and and jumping up when I I I get so excited when I laugh, and then I, you know, I I could go on and on. You could anyway, you could see the enthusiasm in my voice and how and the excitement I had when that advertising would come up. I love the PBS News Hour when Jim Lair was the anchor. I repeat stuff from those shows all the time. And I can even, I even listen to that because, you know, watching those shows, you know, I can even go on YouTube and I'm astonished by the number of nightly business report episodes, some from the 90s and some from 2006 that they've uploaded to YouTube, and I can just watch them and I have the impression and I have the knowledge that anytime I watch those shows, I'm actually going back in time and time traveling because I love those shows growing up. It reminds me of my days growing up.

SPEAKER_06 15:26

Well, dude, I love that answer. And I like I said, I love the passion in your voice. Like, I love it. And the cool thing is, like, sometimes when I'm at your apartment and I'm helping you clean, I hear you repeating the radio shows, and I think that is so cool. So, does that like help you like complete tasks?

SPEAKER_00 15:42

Like when you I think so. Same thing with the why, because it's with the radio shows that I repeat, I will say stuff like, you know, coming soon on a moment in time, stuff that I remember from my childhood listening to the radio, WCVE or VPM as it's now known, or or for instance, it's either that or um the Virginia Stock Report is made possible each week by such and such. You know, I can I can't memorize the whole thing because it was so long ago in those days, because and I can't even go back and listen to it since it was not recorded or I didn't record it, but just stuff like that. You know, I wish I could relive and and and and revisit. I can't memorize the whole thing, but I will just repeat stuff what I've heard that I can memorize from that.

SPEAKER_05 16:23

Well, dude, that's awesome.

SPEAKER_06 16:24

That is freaking awesome. And I that that's part of your autism, and I think that's like a really because there's a lot of people out there like that. And I I think that's really cool to give the listeners kind of a perspective and just see how passionate you are about it all also. And man, that that's awesome. I'm so glad we're doing this topic today. I really, really am. A shameless. Yes. What's something that you love growing up that still hits the same today?

SPEAKER_01 16:46

Faggorats.

SPEAKER_06 16:47

What's it called?

SPEAKER_01 16:49

Fragorats. Fraggerocks? Yes.

SPEAKER_06 16:51

Okay. Walk me through that.

SPEAKER_01 16:53

So frag a rats is like these, is like um, is a real person with a with a dog, and then they got a hoe, like kind of like a rabbit hole, but they got a a hoe where all these faggot rats, they come in, um, they do things like challenges of things that what they can and can't do, and stuff like that, because I still watch it. And it's also on um Apple TV.

SPEAKER_06 17:21

Okay.

SPEAKER_01 17:22

And it it's funny. It's funny. Uh faggot rats is very funny.

SPEAKER_06 17:26

That's awesome. And does it take you back to the time where you first started watching it?

SPEAKER_01 17:30

Yes, dude.

SPEAKER_06 17:31

I love that. I love that. So I um I'll answer this too. And man, I'm I'm 28 years old, but like I said, I love me some SpongeBob. Like, absolutely love me some Spongebob. Like, there's nothing better than sometimes, like, I mean, the world is crazy, right? Like, it really is. So you get home and it's like, all right, I got the news to watch, I got this. Like at dinner time, let's be real, that's what's on, like the news and just crazy stuff. I don't want to watch the news. You know what I mean? I don't want to. Like, I'd see SpongeBob on, it's just you cut it on, it's just like pretty colors, pretty artwork, pretty cartoon. And then you see SpongeBob and you're like, you know what? Like, this actually makes me feel pretty happy. You know what I mean? And I still watch SpongeBob today, and it still hits just as hard as it did when I was a kid. And I absolutely love it. So, all right. Final question. We're gonna have a lot of fun with this. You ready?

SPEAKER_01 18:17

Uh heck yeah.

SPEAKER_06 18:18

All right, Robbie. I know you love radio shows and TV. If you could create a TV or radio show, what would it be about?

SPEAKER_00 18:28

Well, based on my dream of being a broadcast journalist ever since I was in middle school that I told you about, because I did dream of being a I dreamed that when I grew up, um I wanted to be a broadcast didn't matter, radio TV journalist. Um I thought of that was working at PBS, but now I find it with whatever I work at, and I'm I'm flexible with that. I'd say basically, you know, if I were to create my own radio show or TV show, doesn't matter which, it would be called the Robbie McIntosh Show. And I would, you know, base it upon I would interview people, or it can be reporters, it can be correspondents, it can be anybody reporting, I could have people report on my show, and plus I could do interviews like any ordinary news and public affairs show, and it would be news and public affairs strictly devoted to news and public affairs, and of course Macintosh Media or Smash or something like that. But Robbie Macintosh show would definitely be my would definitely be my dream show title.

SPEAKER_06 19:35

Well, dude, I I hope one day that happens for you because I can tell how passionate you are about it, right? So yeah, let's do this. Let's have some more fun with this question, right? Yeah, all right. Robbie Macintosh show. Give us the intro. I want something fire. Give us the intro to the Robbie Macintosh show right now.

SPEAKER_00 19:51

Okay. Ready?

SPEAKER_06 19:53

Yes, I'm ready.

SPEAKER_00 19:54

Good afternoon or good morning, everybody. Welcome to the Robbie Macintosh show. I'm your host, Robbie Macintosh, and I'm getting ready. I'm pumped up and really happy and really excited to start this show. We are here to discuss news and public affairs and interview people and have commentary and interview people and all that sort of stuff.

SPEAKER_06 20:14

That was awesome. Give it up, give it up. Let's go, give it up for him. Let's go. Great job, Robbie. Great job. So, guys, I uh do y'all y'all heard the passion? Dude, we gotta make the Robin McIntosh show happen one day. They do something, yeah. Hey, dude, I'm dude, I'm I'm telling you, you you have such a such a good voice for this stuff, and man, I'm just so proud of you. The cool thing is now you have this platform of inside our minds to really use that voice, but I'm I'm just happy. You know what I mean? I'm just happy. So I mean y'all, y'all are man, y'all are killing this stuff. All right, Ashama, last question. If you could create your own video game, what would it be?

SPEAKER_01 20:48

Piper video game.

SPEAKER_06 20:49

Piper video game. Yes. All right, walk us through Piper Video Game.

SPEAKER_01 20:52

Okay, so Piper video game is because she likes snacks.

SPEAKER_06 20:57

Okay.

SPEAKER_01 20:57

So Piper Video Game will be about Piper eating all the snacks.

SPEAKER_06 21:01

Piper eating all the snacks, okay. So you, the player, would be feeding her snacks.

SPEAKER_01 21:05

I will be feeding her, I will be um taking care of her, walking her and stuff, and giving her a snack. So it's like it's kind it's gonna be kind of like the silence, the hitchhog with the rings, but instead of that, it's gonna be Piper Um getting all the snacks.

SPEAKER_06 21:23

Oh, I like it. So like I I see what you mean here. So it's like instead of the rings, the sonic. Yeah, instead of the rings, the sonic goes on, it's gonna be snap a little bones for Piper. So Piper's gonna be running through the levels. I want to play this video game. When's it releasing?

SPEAKER_01 21:38

SPEAKER_06 21:40

SPEAKER_01 21:42

Um, I want to put it on all consoles. All consoles, okay.

SPEAKER_06 21:46

Yes, let's go. Let's make it happen. Yes. So I love I love this game. I love this game already. So guys, I'll go. Let's go, dude. That was so fun. That was so fun. That honestly, I'm gonna be real, that was probably one of the most fun I've had recording. Episode yet. So I think we should do stuff more stuff like this more often. So yeah. That was fantastic. So hey, any closing statements for y'all?

SPEAKER_00 22:10

I I think I can start, but I I I would say to myself, you know, if you ever find yourself, you know, kind of like me where you want to hear an old radio or t T V show, I don't think they the because I I tried to look at the websites for those old shows that probably including shows that are no longer being produced that have gone off the air. If if you can't find them on the website, which I soon which I assume they've took on the website down, you can actually, you know, if you're interested in old stuff, like old broadcasts, like Nightly Business Report, which is not like I said, is gone out of production, it's no longer being produced. If you want to see an old broadcast or an old show, don't just, you know, track me down and ask me. You know, you can actually go on YouTube because I promise you, if you see a lot of old TV, old old TV, not basically radio shows, but old TV broadcasts like CBS Evening News or the PBS News Hour. If it you can name any of those shows, I swear there's a website you can go to which is you know American Archive of Public Broadcasting where they've actually have the digitized what the production company recorded for the news hour. But more importantly, go to YouTube because I promise you, many have many people who even have who have recorded off of their VHS tapes have even who've even digitized off their VHS tapes those broadcasts have actually uploaded them to YouTube. So I can remember asking someone at NBR saying, How can I find older broadcasts? Do you record the program? And I think I I remember her saying we don't record the entire program necessarily or something like that. But what she said to me was check YouTube, you know, check YouTube. She said many of our older programs are have we've uploaded there. So I I could say or posted there. So I'd say anybody who is looking to for older broadcasts or can't find any website of where to find them, please do indeed, and please check YouTube. Many of them or all of them are posted there.

SPEAKER_06 24:20

Fantastic closing statement. I'm telling you, if anyone's looking, you just gave great advice because it sounds like you're a professional with this stuff. Yeah. So man, that's awesome. Ashama, closing statement.

SPEAKER_01 24:28

I would say the same thing. Say that um you had your kids watching um one of their favorite cartoons or whatever, I will check on YouTube. Um if it calms them down from when they were young until up until now, just put the show on and let them sit and watch it. Maybe you can, you know, just get some things done because they like watching their shows or they just entertain um your kids and um do what's best for them. And if they like, like I say, if they like to watch their show, like Robbie said, go on YouTube, cause um pound puppies are on YouTube, and I still watch pound puppies. Yeah, no, 100%. Um and I still watch Faggarots, and I'm 48 years old. Yeah, yeah. So and I I I learned to find a way because I got since I got an iPhone, I can go to Apple TV and watch my faggotts. So yeah.

SPEAKER_06 25:27

Yeah, no, heck yeah. Um when we talk about all this stuff, and it really brings back nostalgia, you know what I mean? It really does. And what I think about nostalgia, like some of my favorite memories as a kid, is my mom used to take me to Blockbuster, and Blockbuster was awesome. You walked in Blockbuster, and there were just movies and movies and movies, and there was also games. And I mean, I just loved going there as a kid and just getting games, and like my weekend was about to be awesome because I was going to Blockbuster, but I'll tell you this, I did not even know this really was a thing, but I went to the library with Susan. We did an episode with Susan a few weeks ago, and you think of the library, books, right? They have a great, great selection of DVDs. I mean, they have like all the old school, all the old school Barney, Caillou. Do they have every have you been to the library, Robin?

SPEAKER_00 26:13

Yeah, yeah. I was about to say because I I can remember going there in like years like 2002, 2003, even 2005, where I've looked at videos or DVDs, and I and when any time I watch them, or every time I've check them out, rather, I'm astonished to see that on the VHS tapes, that stuff on those tapes is stuff that we usually don't hear more on the TV. And I've had the knowledge ever since that, ever since checking out those videos, those videos really are old, and they really are old school because I checked them out before.

SPEAKER_06 26:46

Yeah, well, that's what I'm saying, dude. Honestly, it it wouldn't be a bad idea. Like, I think even right now, like sometimes you talk about being bored or something, like you love talking, like thinking about past stuff. We should go to the library and maybe you can check out some like older stuff, and maybe sometimes if you're bored, instead of maybe taking a nap, you could watch some of those old shows that you used to like, you know what I mean?

SPEAKER_00 27:06

Well, yeah, and and you know, the other thing too is I I talk very frequently to other people about time travel, but but since we can't really time travel or experience the past like we wish or that I wish, that could be the alternative is is checking out videos from the library and watching past stuff and reliving your videos my videos reliving your days my way your way because I promise you I've had I have VHS tapes bef be I have VHS tapes currently in my apartment, and if I ever want to use them, and if they're ever there, I know why. It's just in case I want to relive those memories.

SPEAKER_06 27:49

Exactly, man. And I I like doing that with music, you know, like going back to like 2000s hits or the 2010s or the 2010. Like, dude, that that was a good time, you know what I mean? And you listen to that song and you just vibe to that song, and you're like, hey, I'm back.

SPEAKER_06 29:16

That's awesome. So one day when I have a kid, I can't wait to watch the old movies because now I have an excuse to go back and watch like all the kids' movies because I'll have a kid of my own, you know what I mean? But I'm gonna be enjoying it just as much as they are.

SPEAKER_00 29:29

So when my youngest brother Aiden was born, I had the impression since at the time he was born that I had all had all those Barney and Telda Tubbies videos. I thought to myself that when he's born, when he comes into our family, I know exactly how to welcome him into our family. And one way to welcome him that I'm gonna do is by putting all my PBS videos of Barney and Telltubbies that were either given to me or even videos that we own.

SPEAKER_06 29:56

He probably loved that, didn't he? Yeah, that he did. Dude, that is awesome. Well, guys, we definitely went a little bit over today, but as we as you can tell, we're very passionate about this. I mean, we could probably talk about this for another hour. So we appreciate you for making it this long and listening to the show today. We, I mean, we're so fired up. Like I said, 188 five-star reviews. I'm sure by the time this this uh releases, we'll probably have 190. So I am super, super, super excited. I'm super proud of Robbie and Ashama, and we're just super, super blessed to say new kids on the block. Yeah, that's that there you go. Sorry, Ashama. Ashama was showing me the the group she was talking about. New kids on the block are awesome. Yes, yeah, that's that's a really good group. But yeah, um, back to back to what I was saying. We are so grateful. So, like I said, if you made it this far, we appreciate you and we're we're ready to keep making you some really fire episodes and can't wait to keep this thing going, right?
