Then, New York, and Italy. So, for a bonus point, I should have gone more specific. Yeah, more specific, alright. Now you know for the next question. So here's a bonus point. It's an adulting podcast, okay? Tell me... You get to buzz in. First one to buzz in. You've got a 10. Alright, tell me. 17. Let's see if that's what I was looking for. No, it wasn't. Alright, let's do the question. Gideon, since he's disqualified from play Tell me how you do that twist. Yeah, exactly. A Vacation pro tip just one any pro tip that you think would help one of our listeners. Does it have to be listed on here? There's no this is literally this I mean, we're trying to give adulting advice Give me some adulting advice and if it qualifies as good advice, I'll give you a point Welcome one and all adulting listeners to today's episode of Adulting Decrypted. Yes, it's been a while since I've hosted, but here I am. Dad normally likes to sit here and teach us about the different aspects of adulting life. But today, we thought it'd be kind of entertaining. Well, I thought it'd be entertaining to put us through some Family Feud! Yay! Woo! Go Steve! So, yeah, Steve Harvey's a legend. Stevie Wonder? No. Well, I mean, he's a legend too, let's be real. So, here's what's gonna happen. I'm gonna keep track of points here. I have one titled G, for Gideon. And one titled D, for Dad. I'm gonna give you tick marks every time you score a point. Woo woo. And at the end of the episode, whoever has the most points will be crowned the adult ist. Adult. Woo. Yes. Okay. And so what I've done is I have located a family feud on here with some questions. And they're like in the, in the show Family Feud, they're organized. In order of most popular answer to least popular. And of course the majority is always right. So the most popular answer will be awarded the highest amount of points. And if it, if it ends up on the list, three strikes, you're out, you don't get to vote anymore sort of stuff. We'll kind of, it'll develop as it goes for sure. But we have buzzers, so I will start with mine. If you get something right, it'll sound like this. Yay. Yay. And if you get something wrong, it'll sound like this. So very clear. And so you two will have to buzz in with your answer in Popular Family Feud. Fashion would like to present their sound first. I think dad would. All right, dad. He's ready. What's your sound? Oh, I thought I pushed my button. Nice. I like that. I like your button. Okay. Ready? Let's, Gideon. Classic. Okay, so what's going to happen is basically like in Family Feud Sorry, I Okay, so
Dad:Okay, sorry, false buzz. Does it, does
Ashton:it work? I think so. Okay, so in Family Feud, you're going to have a speed round. If you answer with something that's on the list you're going to get to go first. You will be allowed to continue playing if if you get it right. And then if three strikes you're out, the other person has a chance to steal. You get points for however many you get on the list. Hold
Dad:on a second, I got an off snap. Something went wrong with the display. Oh.
Ashton:Okay, I'm ready again. Okay. Awesome. So are you ready to push your buzzers?
I
Dad:lost my buzzer. Oh no. You guys, I'm not very good
Ashton:at this. Yes, you can't. You can't play the game. No, that's your buzzer. That's my buzzer. You can't use my buzzer. That's a good one for you. That's perfect. Is that your new one? It's
Dad:the closest one. It's the one on top.
Ashton:Okay. All right. So here's, here we go. Here's the first question. You didn't know cheating close. Okay. Name a popular vacation destination. All right. I heard dad first. Hawaii. Hawaii is on the board. It's the number one answer. All right. So now you don't have to buzz in. Would you like to play or would you like to pass? I'm going to play this. You're going to play. All right, sweet. So Name a popular vacation destination. Mexico. Mexico. Is it on the list? It's not. That's one X and that's one out of three. Oh, I get to go all three times. Yeah. You get to go name a popular vacation destination. California, Disneyland. Disneyland, California. Is it on the list? It's not. It's not on the list. Can you believe it? I don't know where this list came from, but it's not on their list. So it's obviously not right. Washington, D. C. Washington, D. C. All American guesses from dad over here. Is Mexico America? Oh no, you're right. You're right. But you know what? That guess wasn't. That's three X's. So Gideon, you have a chance here to steal the point. The one point that dad got. Name a popular vacation destination. Big deal. What's he gonna say? Hopefully he'll say it today. Europe. Is Europe on the list? No, it's not. No one gets any points, okay? So, here's, wait, do you get to keep them? Is that the rule in Family Feud? I get to keep them, but we need to know what they are now. Yeah, yeah, yeah, okay, so here's your one point, it's on the board, boom. And popular vacation destination, Hawaii was top of the list. Up next was Paddy. Paris, which is in Europe.
Gideon:I didn't know how specific I had to
Ashton:get. I mean, do you want us to, are we giving him the point? Does he get it now? Oh, okay. Sorry. The majority has voted. That'd be like saying
Dad:North America.
Ashton:Yeah. That's well, South America. All right. Up next on the list was Florida. Oh, that's Disney World. Had you said Disney World, I might have given it to you. Then, New York, and Italy. So, for a bonus point, I should have gone more specific. Yeah, more specific, alright. Now you know for the next question. So here's a bonus point. It's an adulting podcast, okay? Tell me... You get to buzz in. First one to buzz in. You've got a 10. Alright, tell me. 17. Let's see if that's what I was looking for. No, it wasn't. Alright, let's do the question. Gideon, since he's disqualified from play Tell me how you do that twist. Yeah, exactly. A Vacation pro tip just one any pro tip that you think would help one of our listeners. Does it have to be listed on here? There's no this is literally this I mean, we're trying to give adulting advice Give me some adulting advice and if it qualifies as good advice, I'll give you a point
Gideon:You need to segment the different things between like clothes toiletries Centrals, you need to separate. What are you talking about? I literally
Ashton:did a YouTube video on it. That was pretty good, but you just said I mean you didn't specify packing or, I mean, yeah, context, I got it. Does he get the point? I'm gonna give it to him. Okay. Gideon gets the point. Alright, here we go. How are we keeping track
Gideon:of points here?
Ashton:I'm writing it down. I'm writing it down. Okay. This one, this one will be easy. Ready? Name A fruit. You... Oh! I thought it was just the
Gideon:name of a fruit. I was like,
Ashton:well,
Dad:I got so many fruits. That's why I pushed it. Well, you
Ashton:got a good chance. Yeah, you did. I didn't even hear his. You might need to turn your volume up or put it in front or something. Alright, dad, name? Watermelon. Oh, Gideon, would you like to hear the question? I will. Alright, name a fruit you might eat in the morning. I might eat watermelon in the morning. Sure, but this survey didn't. Banana. Banana, is it on the list? It's the number one answer! I think that is. Alright, would you like to, I mean, you have to. Did you just say Alright. Okay, Gideon. Name a fruit you might eat in the morning. You might want to pass. Well, you were disqualified, I think. Oh. Because you answered already. Unless go. Strawberries. Strawberries. Is it on the list? It's not. Sorry. I would want to eat strawberries, to be fair, though. Yeah. Strawberries are so, yeah. You're at one point. One strike. Let's see what you got. Blueberries. Blueberries. Is it on the list? It is. It just says berries. But, that's two points. Strawberry
Dad:then should count.
Ashton:You right. You still have a strike. Go again. I still have a strike. You still have a strike. Oh man. Cause I said
Gideon:so. Okay. Roots

Gideon:I'm just, well, I'm trying to think of a breakfast fruit. Let's go
Ashton:with kiwi. Kiwi? Is it on the list? It's not. Alright, Dad, for the steal. Grapefruit. Grapefruit. Is it on the list? It is! So dad steals with a total of three points added here. Okay. So now, for a bonus point, you get to bose in. Here's a question. And this is gonna test your knowledge of of our podcast, actually. I hosted a podcast about breakfast, or something of the like. I remember talking about it. And I referenced a survey that is responsible for coining the phrase Kellogg's. That's correct. Kellogg's. I was gonna say
Gideon:Breakfast is the most
Ashton:important meal of the day. Yep. Kellogg's. Kellogg's the company I still don't get it. Is the one who decided That breakfast is the most important meal of the day. So there you go. All right. Here's the next one buzz in name a common New Year's resolution Think it was I think is taken over by Gideon's but all right
Gideon:No,
Ashton:we're not gonna play it again, it's okay Gideon name a common New Year's resolution physical fitness Physical fitness. All right. Is it on the list? It is. It's the second answer. Exercise more. So dad, you have an opportunity. Can you guess the answer above exercise more? You don't have to. Well, thank you for buzzing in. Wait. Lose weight. Is it on the board? It is. Lose weight is above. Would you like to play? Would you like to pass? Well, they're, they're not on this list. I realized that you did. You did well. Okay. I would like to play please. You can play with two points. Name a common new year's resolution. Lose weight and exercise more is taken. Quit drinking.
Dad:Quit
Ashton:drinking. Like alcohol or smoking. Yeah, I'll give it to you. You said quit smoking. Quit smoking's on the board. That's the fourth answer out of five. Those are two
Gideon:separate answers.
Ashton:I was, you know, I was going to give it to him anyway because bad habits. But, yeah, it's okay. Alright, next one. You got three points from that. What is earn more money? Earn more, what is? What game
Dad:are you playing? Oh yeah, Jeopardy. Sorry. Earn more money.
Ashton:Steve. Is it on the board? It is! Save money is the third answer on the board. Alright. Can you get a clean sweep here? You're looking for the fifth answer. No strikes. You're sitting pretty. Spend
Dad:more time fishing.
Ashton:Spend more time fishing. Is it on the board? No it's not, and he knew it too. You can see it in his face. What is the fifth answer? Go to Churchmoor. Go to Churchmoor. Is it on the board? Not at all. Try again.
Dad:Heathens. Let me think.
Ashton:You have one more chance to get it or Gideon can steal all four current points and a fifth. Sleepmoor. Sleepmoor. Is it on the board? It's not. Alright, Gideon. Here's your chance. You get to steal all his points. What have we missed? We have lose weight, exercise more, save money, quit smoking. Name a common New Year's resolution. Eat healthier. Eat healthier. Is it on the board? It is! That's the answer! There you go. Alright. That was all of them? We got them all? That's all five of them. Nice. So Gideon just added five points to his score. So. Now, the bonus question. Name a reason why New Year's resolutions don't last very long. I heard Scooby Doo first, which I believe was Gideon's buzzer. Why New Year's resolutions don't last very long? Yeah, name a reason. A reason?
Gideon:Because people get overwhelmed with too much resolutions and then they don't do anything at all.
Ashton:Okay, nice, nice. Dad, I'll give you a chance to steal it. If you can use something more specific to explain why that's true. Because they don't set up
Dad:smart goals. Specific, measurable, Attainable? Yep,
Ashton:yep.
Dad:Realistic and
Ashton:timely. Yep, relevant and timely, but yes. I want to cry. I'm gonna give half a point. I think, I think, okay, yeah, I'll give you half a point for that one. Actually, I'll give you both half a point. How's that? That seems fair to me. Alright, it's a tight race. I'm not going to tell you to squirt. Crap, did I have to guess something? That was an accidental push. No, no, no, we were transitioning. It's okay. You were kind of like walking up to the board. Alright, name something people Fun. That was an accident. Name something people. Walk. Walk? All right. No, that's not on the board. Would you like to hear the full question? All right. Name something people lose often. Their keys. Their keys. Is it on the board? It is. All right. That's the number one answer. You've got four more beneath it. Their wallet. Their wallet. Is that on the board? It is only once. I pressed the button twice. You've got the top two names. Something people lose often their hair. Oh, that's really sad. No, that's not as common as a problem as you think. Name something people lose often. They're kids. They're kids! No. Oh. Sorry. I didn't
Dad:lose you very often. I promise, Michelle. I mostly knew where they were at when they were skiing and
Ashton:stuff. I promise. It was all an effort to save money, which conveniently wasn't in the year's resolution. How do they lose often? You have two strikes and two points. This is your last chance. Their mind. Their mind! Not on the list. You are right though. Alright Gideon, for the chance at the steal, taking two points away from dad, name something that people lose often. I have to make sure he's not cheating. He's sitting really close. Scoot that way. Socks. Something people lose often? Socks? Is he cheating? No he's not. Not on the list. Dad you get to keep your two points. I thought he said stocks. That would also be true I guess. So the other answers we said keys and wallet. Yep. Something else people lose often on the list is phone glasses Not phone glasses, but phone comma glasses Comma and the remote control. Oh So for a bonus point yes, or a Singular bonus point if your friend still was to walk up to you right now and ask you or say to you man I lost my wallet where? Is the first place you would check. Dad was first on that one. In their pocket. In their pocket. Alright, Gideon, you have a chance to say a better answer. Couch cushions. Couch cushions? That was my answer, so I think that qualifies as a better answer. Take that. I'm gonna give that to you. Alright, here we go. I think we got two more in us. Let's see. Alright. Name something people are I just was waiting for the buzzer. Name something people are often afraid of. I heard dad's first. I heard dad's first. Monsters. Monsters! Is it on the list? We'll figure out. Oh, there it is. Hear it? No, it's not. No monsters? Monsters aren't on the list. Okay, get a chance for this deal. Clowns. Clowns. Is clown on the list? That's really good. There was a big thing in, what was it, 2017? 16. 16, about clowns. Is it on the list? No, it's not. So, what happens here? Does no one get to play? No, I think we keep going
Dad:until we
Ashton:find it. Keep going until someone gets it? Okay. We just go back and forth. Yeah, yeah. That's just something people are afraid of. Yeah, yeah, yeah. The government. The government! Well, it might be true. It's not on the list. Alright. Slippery snakes. Slippery, slippery snakes. Is that on the list? It is! Slippery, slippery snakes is on the list. I don't think you get a chance to guess higher than him now, because you guys have traded back and forth. Kigadian, that's number four on the list. There's three above that, believe it or not. Okay? Okay. So, Kigadian. Hit me. What? Name something people are often afraid of. Spiders. Is it on the list? It is! That's the number one answer. Number one thing people are afraid of is spiders. So again, name something people are often afraid of. Heights. Heights. Is it on the list? It is! That's something you would have thought would have come up earlier. Maybe. Maybe not. I got one for Gideon. I'll help you. Girls. Gideon, are you going to submit girls? No. All right. So the top three, if you're going to lose. Well, actually, we've got four out of the five now, right? No, we've got three out of the five got spiders heights and snakes. You've got the third and the fifth answer left third and the fifth. And I don't think, wait, how many buzzers does he have now? I forgot. Two, one. I think you have one buzzer or you have no
Gideon:buzzer. You have no buzzers. Keep going. That's
Ashton:the first one
Gideon:counts. Doesn't. Okay. Something else people are afraid of is. Ghosts.
Ashton:Ghosts. Is it on the list? It is not. Sorry. Two more guesses. Name something people are often afraid of. Germs. Germs. Are people often afraid of germs? They are not. Have you seen some people? Alright, this is your last chance. Giving up potentially three points here. Death. Death. Ooh. Ooh, that's a really good answer. Is it on the board? It's not. What? Sorry. Super sorry. All right, dad, the chance for the steel.
Dad:Then that leads me to believe that it wouldn't be some of my original thoughts. So good answer is going to be sharks,
Ashton:Steve. Sharks. Sharks is sharks on the list. Good answer. Good answer. Is it a good answer? No, it's not public speaking. Public speaking is on the list. That is so weird, that, that's where my,
Dad:that's where I was going. Yeah? But then I thought, these are not, cause death, I think people would be more afraid of death than they are of public speaking.
Gideon:Or of snakes. Yeah.
Dad:That's why I went with sharks. Right. Cause
Ashton:everything was an animal. You know, dad, since you nailed that one, just kind of, I didn't nail it. Afterwards, I'm gonna give you an extra point for it. The other one that we didn't get was darkness. People are afraid of the dark. Do we have
Dad:anybody in here afraid of the dark? I'm not afraid of the dark. Okay, was
Ashton:cows on the list? Okay, hold on. That's not fair. Do you want to lose points?
Dad:No, I'm just asking if they were on the list,
Ashton:just in general. No, cows weren't on the list. Look, my fear of cows is logical. Leave me alone. Gideon's fear of sheepdogs is logical
Dad:too, for the same reason. I also agree. I agree with that fear.
Ashton:And my fear of girls is logical. Yeah, that's fair. All good. All right. So as a bonus question as a bonus question What we've talked about this on the podcast before what is? Something that you can do to get over your fears. I didn't even hear Gideon's builder that time
Dad:You can validate Fear fear is an interesting word false evidence appearing real so you can validate if it's a real fear or something that should really Scare you such as public speaking. What's the worst that could happen you figure out? What's the worst that could happen? You could look like a fool. You could say the wrong word You could offend somebody and you start there and then you say, okay, how do I approve upon that? So I might go to Toastmasters or I might give the speech in front of my family and friends in a safe environment So that I'm ready to give it in a in a bigger environment Yeah, you know as it pertains to public speaking and then other times when it's like a real fear like heights You Do everything you can to prepare yourself to make sure that you've got the right harness the right gear the right people Helping you belay and all those kind of things.
Ashton:Yeah preparation kind of mitigates Fear being a real problem. All right, so I think we've got one last question in us And it's actually going to be good for us. Name something people do to relax.
Gideon:In
Dad:my defense there's two red buttons. That was not my buzzer apparently. So I guess Gideon gets to
Ashton:go. Well his was first too. His was definitely first. His was dead. People do to relax. Name something people do to relax, Gideon. Watch TV. Watch TV. Is it on the list? It is! WatchTV's on the list. It's actually the third thing on the list. So Dad, you have a chance to steal here. Name something people do to relax. Fishing. Fishing! Not on the list. Sorry. If you keep saying fishing or something related to fishing, it'll be there eventually. I'm sure of it. I did say fishing already, huh? Yeah,
Dad:you did. I think I want to go
Ashton:fishing. I guess you do. I mean, there's no better time than the present. Well, there's maybe in the morning. Oh, it's a good thing it's the last question. My phone died. You'll just have to make your own sound. Woo! Yeah, perfect. Okay, Gideon. Thank you. So you get to play. You have watch TV as the third answer. Name something people do to relax.
Gideon:Let's say, like, being with friends or socializing.
Ashton:Socializing. Is it on the list? It's not on the list. One buzz. Name something people do to relax. Like naps. Nap! Is it on the list? It's not on the list. That's two strikes, you get one more and you potentially pass on your points. Name something people do to relax. Games. Like, play games? Like
Gideon:what you perceive.
Ashton:How about this guy? Oh, there it is. I was leading you on. I was trying to cut you off at the buzzer because it was just funny. All right, dad, name something people do to relax. We've only gotten watch TV. Name something you like to do. Relax. Sit on the front porch. Sit on the front porch. Drinking alcohol. Can't give me layered answers. I gave you one of those already. Yeah, but you
Dad:said, what do I like to do? And I don't like to drink alcohol. So I couldn't say that, but I'm saying a normal person. All right. So non,
Ashton:So what's your final answer? You've said that already for this question.
Dad:Sit on the front
Ashton:porch. Cause that seems like I said that first. That seems sit on the front porch. Is it on there? Listen to music. Sorry. It's not on there. I kind of wanted to give it to you, but I'm not gonna because one of the answers actually, wait, I'm supposed to say I'm in order. Okay. So the top answer was read a book actually. Just funny because that's actually far from me. That's not my that's not my thing reading a book to relax is not really my thing Hold on. Did you say listen to music at some point? No, okay. Listen to music's the second answer watch TV Is the third meditates the fourth I kind of wanted to give it to you for the porch But I don't think it was specific enough, especially after you said drinking alcohol. That doesn't really qualify under meditation And then the fifth one which I really thought you were gonna land was take a bath I was like, cause I know that's kind of like, you know, a quality. I do
Dad:like most of those things actually to relax. Yeah.
Ashton:So that's a good point. I'm gonna listen to music, put the headphones on and kind of sit and just close
Dad:my eyes. Read a book in the bath. Pretty awesome. Yeah. Or music. So for TV in a
Ashton:bath. Name as the final speed round. Okay. And then this will make it a two point swing. This one's worth two points. Name something that you would need to relax from. Buzz, buzz, buzz, buzz, buzz, buzz, buzz. Alright, getting in.
Gideon:From financial stress. Because it's the biggest stress in marriages. Is financials. So that's
Ashton:something you need to relax with. Is that something hard in your marriage? You said people. No, I should name something you would need to relax from, but thank you for your answer. Dad. No, in
Dad:Gideon's defense though, he does need, he probably needs to have less stress from financial because I probably haven't taken my date out to dinner for a long time. I am still gaining money.
Ashton:Oh, he's still earning money. So you want to take a relax from financial stress. All right, dad, I'll give you a chance. Let's see if your answer can beat his. What's something that you would need to relax from?
Dad:I was going to say fishing, but I was drinking. I probably need to relax from the pressures of work and just all the things that are going on there, which could build though into financials. So it's kind of hard.
Ashton:Turning it off and kind of like having a chance to. Yeah. All right. Well, you know your answers are so good. I'll give you each a point. How's that? Doesn't really change the results or anything. Yeah, not at all.
Dad:I just want to know who the winner is. I feel like, I don't feel as good as I did before I
Ashton:said fishing. Three times. Yeah. Alright, well, through all of that. I was feeling pretty good
Dad:at start. I started
Ashton:strong, right? You did. You started very strongly. Actually at the beginning it looked like you were running away with it, but as it so happens, dad, you had a whopping 10 and a half points. Ooh. And Gideon, you had two plus 10.5. Gideon got 12.5 points'cause of those like five and won the game five I stole from you. It's true. Yeah. There was a big one that you passed up to him. So anyway, thanks audience for listening to our family feud. Hope you found it entertaining. Hopefully a little bit helpful. We had a little bit of advice in there. I don't know if you guys have anything you want to pass on to the people real quick before we move on, call it a day for this episode. But I don't
Dad:think so. I was just going to say, get in. I still love you and appreciate you. Oh, that's true. Even if you did beat
Gideon:me, I really, I did just want to say that I do think of you a little bit less now
Dad:and I'll see if I take you fishing,
Ashton:you might not be there. You and I can go fishing. Okay. Yeah. Thanks for joining us for this episode. It's been a party.
