You heard it from the podcast where we talked about Alex. I came in and I said that we just fight a lot.
Speaker #0
You and her fight a lot?
Speaker #1
And I rated myself like a 10 or something.
Speaker #0
You gave her like a 7. I think you gave her like a 6 or a 7. Do you guys still fight a lot?
Speaker #1
Not a lot.
Speaker #0
What do you guys fight about when you fight?
Speaker #1
It's like... She just randomly gives me, like, a mean attitude. Like, out of nowhere.
Speaker #0
Do you think that, like, she means to be mean to you? Or do you think she's just, like, tired and just kind of had it?
Speaker #1
I think she's just exhausted from school.
Speaker #0
I think she is, too. I don't think that she means to be mean to you. Like, I wouldn't take it personally. I think that she's just, she's 14 years old. She has to get up at five o'clock in the morning to go to school. Oh yeah. So she gets hardly any sleep. That's why when she stays with like, when you and I, when you and her stay with me on the weekends, she sleeps almost the whole weekend.
Speaker #1
I know. It's like, it's so weird that it, that like mom's job is like at six something AM. But then, um, Alex is at like 5 AM. So like on like Saturday, it's like holiday. She's just like,
Speaker #0
She sleeps, right? So I wouldn't take it personally if she snaps at you or if you think she's mean to you. She loves you very much. She just is. She's pooped. She's exhausted.
Speaker #1
Yeah, I love her too.
Speaker #0
You know? What about Max?
Speaker #1
Some. Okay. Yes and no.
Speaker #2
Okay. Why? Why?
Speaker #1
He. He bites like a lot. He's like at night. He's like.

Is he still a puppy? He's not a puppy still, is he?
Speaker #1
He's two years old.
Speaker #0
Oh, he's still kind of a puppy.
Speaker #1
Yeah.
Speaker #0
So he bites you a little bit. Is it like love bites?
Speaker #1
I don't know. Like every time I wake up and I see him, he's just like. I think it also being some Clifford, the big red dog.
Speaker #0
I think he thinks that as well.
Speaker #1
Yeah.
Speaker #0
Because you think you're another dog and he just wants to play with you?
Speaker #1
Yeah.
Speaker #0
I think so too.
Speaker #1
Pretty much.
Speaker #0
I think so too. What is it?
Speaker #1
He also chews like a lot of stuff.
Speaker #0
Like what?
Speaker #1
Under some, he, and also he, I'm actually surprised that he can find those things. Like it's down to like a one by one Lego piece. You know what that is?
Speaker #0
No, what's that?
Speaker #1
It's like a Lego piece with just one...
Speaker #0
One dot?
Speaker #1
Yeah, one dot. Yeah,
Speaker #0
okay.
Speaker #1
And it's just like, how can you find that? Like, we have like a rug that's like, kind of like this big or something. I don't know. And he could find... The first thing he sees, like that's chewable. He just goes right on it. Yeah. I know, right?
Speaker #0
So when you grow up, what do you want to do when you grow up?
Speaker #1
When I grow up, I want to be like a NASA worker or like an astronaut at the NASA space station.
Speaker #0
Yeah?
Speaker #1
Yeah.
Speaker #0
What is it about space that you love so much?
Speaker #1
It's just that. It's just that the thing that created us, like, yeah.
Speaker #0
Interesting.
Speaker #1
Like, there's a lot of stuff to learn about space.
Speaker #0
What kind of stuff do you want to learn about space? Like, what do you want space to teach you?
Speaker #1
I. I want to learn about, like, black holes, white holes, wormholes, dark matter or something.
Speaker #0
How old are you?
Speaker #1
Eight.
Speaker #0
Sixteen?
Speaker #1
Eight. No. I am not sixteen.
Speaker #0
Look at me. Don't look there. Look at me.
Speaker #1
Look at me.
Speaker #0
I am looking at you.
Speaker #1
I'm so small. Oops. My teenager.
Speaker #0
Oh, honey, that was really funny. You're eight? Okay, so you want to learn about dark matter, wormholes. You want to be an astronaut, do you think? You want to be like in research? Or do you want to go like up into space, like the space station, going to rockets and doing that?
Speaker #1
That's it.
Speaker #0
Both?
Speaker #1
Yeah, both. Kind of like the same.
Speaker #0
Oh, did you like that one ride we did at Epcot where like...
Speaker #1
Oh, yeah. I remember it. Those two people next to us? Oh, yeah. Like this training thing for boxers.
Speaker #0
Yes.
Speaker #1
I remember all about it. You almost got motion sickness.
Speaker #0
I did almost get motion sickness. I did almost throw up. Because you're like this and it's like... And you think you're taking off.
Speaker #1
It's crazy. Zero grab. When you're taking off... It's like you're really taking off. It's like, it pushed you. It's like an air force just like coming, like a wall, like a hole. G-Force. G-Force?
Speaker #0
G-Forces. It's called G-Forces. It's gravity pushing against you. Yeah. It's the force of gravity. They're called G-Forces.
Speaker #1
He did that.
Speaker #0
Yeah, isn't that crazy? I was thinking the same thing. I'm like, how are they doing this that it's so real? I really feel like we're taking off in a rocket right now.
Speaker #1
Like going like. Like it was bananas.
Speaker #0
space you're like hi jack oh have some water have some floating i forgot what the name is have some dasani purified water that
Speaker #1
was a cool ride why did you just act like a fish for a moment
Speaker #0
Cheers. So, also, something I noticed with you is you enjoy talking to random girls. You enjoy saying hi to cute girls.
Speaker #1
Yes.
Speaker #0
You do.
Speaker #1
It's just being kind.
Speaker #0
Is it just you enjoy being kind? Yeah. You enjoy saying hi. You know what? Take the girls out of it. Boys and girls. You say hi to everybody. Yeah. If we're going up an escalator sometimes, like at the airport, you're saying hi to people.
Speaker #1
Okay, so we're walking around Thank you. Disney World, you know, like there's 10,000 people or something there. I'm going hi to everybody. Hi. Hi. Hi. How come? Just being kind.
Speaker #0
Feels good,
Speaker #1
Yeah.
Speaker #0
It feels good to be kind?
Speaker #1
Yeah.
Speaker #0
You're somebody that you love making other people happy because you're happy.
Speaker #1
Yeah.
Speaker #0
I think, right?
Speaker #1
Yeah, the share, the kindness.
Speaker #0
I think that you're one of the kindest people I know. Because that's something you've done since you were born. You've always been friendly and happy and nice. I remember one time, I don't know if you remember this or not, you said hi to somebody, and I think we were going up an escalator and they were going down or something, and you said, Dad, how come they didn't say hi back to me? And I said, probably, honey, because they were thinking about something or had their earbuds in or whatever, but you were concerned because they didn't say hi back to you. And now you just had everybody, do you care if someone says hi back to you?
Speaker #1
Um, not really.
Speaker #0
I didn't think so.
Speaker #1
Because sometimes I know, like, there's still happiness on the inside of them.
Speaker #0
That's a good point. Do you see a lot of kids that are happy at school? Or do you see a lot of kids that are, like, sad?
Speaker #1
Sometimes when I make jokes, they just laugh, and that makes them happy.
Speaker #0
How often do you make jokes all the time? What's that mean? A little bit?
Speaker #1
A lot? Like 90% of the time. You're always making jokes?
Speaker #0
Yeah. I wonder where you get that from. I don't know where you get that from. Probably, I think you might get that from me. Well, mom is funny too, though. Mom's also very funny. That could be. But you're someone that... You love making other people smile.
Speaker #1
Yeah.
Speaker #0
Right? Because it feels good to be kind. It's free. It doesn't cost anything.
Speaker #1
There's this girl at my school. Her name's Lila. Okay. And also this video is sponsored by Lila, um...
Speaker #0
Okay.
Speaker #1
Like, when I, like, make, like, a single, like, funny face or something, she bursts out laughing. She thinks you're funny. Yeah.
Speaker #0
She thinks you're funny.
Speaker #1
I have... She still can't... Can't ask my friend. Okay, I have four friends.
Speaker #0
Okay.
Speaker #1
One moved out of town.
Speaker #0
Okay.
Speaker #1
Hazen, Lila, Mega, and Blake. Blake is the one who got out of town to go to another school. Oh, okay.
Speaker #0

Speaker #1

It's just like, we have like three minutes at lunchtime and then just like 15 or five minutes at... recess it goes by like that yeah like this you always love to do that super quick what do you do at recess with your friends we play games there's this one game i love playing it's called like lava mom's love it's called like the floor is lava but not like it with a twist so like oh someone random is picked as like a lava monster they have to stay on the ground to get to get people and make them the lava monster. It's really, really fun. We have like the playground. Yeah.
Speaker #0
Are you the lava monster because you have red hair? You're like, ooh, lava monster, red hair.
Speaker #1
No. But it's really funny. And yeah, that.
Speaker #0
It would be good.
Speaker #1
Smart option.
Speaker #0
Right. It's a very smart option, I think. Do you, what's your favorite thing to do at recess?
Speaker #1
My favorite thing to do is about like everything I do, Harry says.
Speaker #0
You love being outside?
Speaker #1
Yeah.
Speaker #0
It's fun to be outside.
Speaker #1
I love getting the fresh air.
Speaker #0
It feels good.
Speaker #1
Yeah.
Speaker #0
And it's just like we go for bike rides. It feels good, right? We go on the trails. That's a lot of fun.
Speaker #1
Yeah.
Speaker #0
Like, do you love riding your bike?
Speaker #1
I love riding my bike. That's my favorite thing to do,
Speaker #0
you guys. So let's talk about this weekend because it was a challenge for you, but you overcame it. You've been riding your bike now for a little over a month, and you're very good, honey. Yeah,
Speaker #1
it took like two days to learn how to do it.
Speaker #0
It took like two days. We taught you how. You picked it right up, right? You and I did it together. But you got in your first bike crash.
Speaker #1
Alex did it in like the first day she did it. The first day she did it,
Speaker #0
she conquered it. Yeah. That's Alex. But you got this weekend, you got in a little accident on your bike.
Speaker #1
Yeah.
Speaker #0
Right? What happened?
Speaker #1
It was just like I was speeding down the hill where we live. I don't know what happened. I could have hit my brakes a little and now I didn't. Or I didn't turn enough. Or it's just that I, because I, when I, um,
Speaker #0
Take your time. Because it's, it was, you were going really fast, right? But then you slowed down. But maybe you didn't slow down enough. And then you made, you made the turn. And then the bike hit the electrical thing, electrical box.
Speaker #1
Yeah, I knew it was coming. Like when I'm like turning, like when I'm turning, not yet, but when I know like I'm getting close to that curve, I know it's coming.
Speaker #0
And it was scary.
Speaker #1
I didn't know that my head was going to bang on the electrical thing.
Speaker #0
Luckily, it was hard because you said like your shoulder hit, right?
Speaker #1
Yeah, my bicycle hit the sun in my head. my
Speaker #0
Head hit a dog's face. Your head hit and your cheek got, your cheek a little bit. Look this way. Stare that way. Now you get a little bruise, but it's not bad at all. But you, and it's scary though, right?
Speaker #1
Yeah.
Speaker #0
It was super, it was scary for me because I'm running down there. It was, you were great, honey, ahead of time because I'm older. When I was your age, I just went out. Grandma just let me go out and rode my bike all over the neighborhood without her being around. But you were good because you said, Dad, can you come out and watch me so nobody kidnaps me? I said, okay.
Speaker #1
Yeah. Which was very smart. That was a very smart option because, yeah, it's more likely you get kidnapped when there's like a single kid around and no parents. When there's like a group of kids and more parents, it's not that likely for a kidnapper. It's much less likely, isn't it? Izzy told me that when I was in the car going to the bus, I was like, I want to take it out. But she said no. Oh, she's right. Yeah.
Speaker #0
She's right. She's very smart. So you were good because you asked me to sit outside, which I'll do from now on forever if I'm not riding bikes with you. Thank you so much. Of course, honey. You're welcome. If you want to ride just by yourself, I'll sit in my chair in the driveway. And you're going. And I saw you hit the... electrical thing. So I'm running to get you. Hey,
Speaker #1
Dad. So I was hearing like running steps. No,
Speaker #0
it was me.
Speaker #1
Oh my God. It was Dad. Of course. Were you like the cop from Cloudy and the Chance of Meatballs? You're like, come here for like what?
Speaker #0
Yes. Yes. I've got to go take care of my boy. Honey, you're my son. I love you.
Speaker #1
I have a question.
Speaker #0
Ask me anything. Do we have any tissues? Yeah. Do you have a runny nose?
Speaker #1
Yeah.
Speaker #0
Hold on one second. You go ahead and talk to the camera. Go ahead. You talk to the camera.
Speaker #1
Okay. Hey, guys. Oh, he's back.
Speaker #0
Here you go. You can take this and you can just break some of it off.
Speaker #1
Thanks.
Speaker #0
Yeah, and blow your nose.
Speaker #1
Is this toilet paper?
Speaker #0
It is. So if it's good enough for your butt, it's good enough for your nose. So give yourself some good blows and you're all set. There you go. Hold it closer to your nose. There you go. Get that right out, man. Just get it out. That a boy. Good? Oh. That's all right. Leave it there. You got it? You want to give them to me? Okay. Very good. Do you feel better?
Speaker #1
Yeah.
Speaker #0
Okay. But the thing, I was really proud of you, honey, that, because after you got in the bike accident, when it happened, when you crashed your bike, which everyone does that. Yeah. It happens more than once.
Speaker #1
It happens like every, or like, yeah.
Speaker #0
It just happens. It's okay.
Speaker #1
It's very often for you to get in an accident.
Speaker #0
It happens. Hopefully it's not often, but it happens. Not often. The more you ride, it's likely to happen. But you were good because...
Speaker #1
The more you do it, the more you learn. So accidents are kind of like your teacher or something.
Speaker #0
How is it your teacher?
Speaker #1
It's like when you make mistakes or something, then you learn to not do that. next time.
Speaker #0
When you got in the accident and it was scary and I came to get you, I came to get you, and when did you, from the time you got in the accident, we got in the house, I put an ice pack on you, give you some Tylenol, when were you like, I'm gonna get back on my bike?
Speaker #1
It was kind of like for the first like five minutes, I didn't want to go on the bike, but the next like... I don't know, 15 or something minutes. I wanted to get on that thing.
Speaker #0
You did.
Speaker #1
How come? I wanted to go all over town. Yeah.
Speaker #0
And it's something that I was very, very proud of you for doing that because I backed off. I didn't say get back on the bike because I'll never do that to you as your dad.
Speaker #1
No, never. Ever. Never, ever. That's up to you. Bye, Dad. Oh,
Speaker #0
thank you.
Speaker #1
You're not a good dad, but you're a great dad.
Speaker #0
Honey, my job on this planet is to love and protect you. That's it. That's my job. And I love being your dad. It is the greatest thing. I love being your son. Thank you. Why do you love being my son?
Speaker #1
You just give me a lot of love.
Speaker #0
Yeah?
Speaker #1
You're good parents, not bad parents. Yeah.
Speaker #0
That's very sweet.
Speaker #1

Speaker #1
You don't even have hair.
Speaker #0
I have no hair.
Speaker #1
You just have spikes.
Speaker #0
I have spikes. I have no spikes.
Speaker #1
When I told my friend, when I told my friends my dad was bald and only had spikes, they were, they thought you had like actual spikes. Like spikes on my head? Yeah. Like kind of like a mohawk or something.
Speaker #0
I'll show you a picture. When I was in seventh grade, I had a mohawk.
Speaker #1
You had a mohawk?
Speaker #0
I have pictures. Grandma Donna took the pictures. Yeah, I had a mohawk. It's like I had like a brush cut. It's like that high. So it's not big, but like an inch high mohawk I had. Yeah, when I played football in junior high school.
Speaker #1
Dad.
Speaker #0
Yeah, honey?
Speaker #1
Now I'm going to tell you just like I don't know two questions or something.
Speaker #0
You can ask me any question you want to.
Speaker #1
Honey,
Speaker #0
this is Fargo's talk. This is our podcast, not mine. Oh, yeah. You're the host, too.
Speaker #1
It's the J's talk.
Speaker #0
And the J's, Jack and Jeff. So go right, ask me anything you want about anything.
Speaker #1
What's your favorite sport?
Speaker #0
Ooh. I played growing up when I was younger in high school and college. I played football. I played lacrosse.
Speaker #1
But what kind of football? Like soccer football or just football?
Speaker #0
No, good question. Tackle football, I played.
Speaker #1
Because football is too. It's for two names.
Speaker #0
It is?
Speaker #1
Yeah.
Speaker #0
How is it two names?
Speaker #1
Like, you know, like when I played football and then the soccer football.
Speaker #0
Oh, that's right. I played tackle football and I started playing in seventh grade and I played till my sophomore year in college.
Speaker #1
Wow.
Speaker #0
So I played for years. Loved it. Loved it, loved it, loved it. In good old Canandaigua, New York.
Speaker #1
My favorite sport is... It's soccer.
Speaker #0
Is it? How come?
Speaker #1
It's just that you can get a lot of exercise by running a lot.
Speaker #0
You can, can't you?
Speaker #1
Yeah, and it's really fun.
Speaker #0
Would you rather, because we talked about this, and you said you'd like to do jujitsu, but would you rather do soccer than jujitsu?
Speaker #1
I can do jujitsu and then soccer or soccer then jujitsu.
Speaker #0
Would you want to do both of them or one? If you could pick one, what would you rather do?
Speaker #1
If I do both, then... That's going to be like every day I'm doing sports.
Speaker #0
That'd be too much.
Speaker #1
No. I'm going to, let me do jujitsu first, and when I get out of jujitsu, I can do soccer.
Speaker #0
Okay.
Speaker #1
If the season rolls around, you know.
Speaker #0
That's true. What other questions do you have for me? Ask me anything.
Speaker #1
Is that a window behind that curtain?
Speaker #0
I don't know. No, I don't think it is. I don't know.
Speaker #1
Camera set or something?
Speaker #0
I don't know. I think it's, you know what? I do think it's windows.
Speaker #1
It's a mystery.
Speaker #0
I do think it's windows. But Scott has a nice curtain set up to cover them.
Speaker #1
Cool.
Speaker #0
Yeah. So let's talk about, you're in second grade.
Speaker #1
Yes.
Speaker #0
Right? Do you love it? Do you like it? How is it? Is it meh?
Speaker #1
I like it.
Speaker #0
Yeah?
Speaker #1
Yeah.
Speaker #0
Why do you like it?
Speaker #1
Okay, it's just that I don't see you guys that often because, you know, like, summer is like, you know, three months or something. School is a whole year.
Speaker #2
Mm.
Speaker #1
And these years go on for 14 or 13 years, including college.
Speaker #2
It's a lot.
Speaker #1
Yeah. So that's how much time I won't spend with you guys at school. I spend like half of the day at school.
Speaker #2
It's a lot,
Speaker #1
Yeah.
Speaker #2
Does it get boring sometimes?
Speaker #0
Yeah.
Speaker #1
Does it? Because your brain is just like going super fast. You're like, what am I doing?
Speaker #0
My brain is just like...
Speaker #1
What's your favorite subjects at school? What do you like to do?
Speaker #0
PE, art, librarian, yeah.
Speaker #1
Oh, what kind of music do you like?
Speaker #0
I like...
Speaker #1
Like for music class, what do you do in music that you like so much?
Speaker #0
I like... We have these instruments. My old music teacher has moved to a whole different town, so I have a music teacher. We have these instruments. I like playing them.
Speaker #1
What instruments do you like to play?
Speaker #0
Um, the drums, piano, you know, that's, that's why we have a piano in our house.
Speaker #1
You have a keyboard in your bedroom at my house. You have a keyboard at mom's house too.
Speaker #0
I played a lot of them. Drums. Wait, have I already said drums already?
Speaker #1
You did, but that's okay. You can say it again.
Speaker #0
Um, there's like, we have like these stick things where you put like a cap on it. Like, it's like this water bottle, but we'll play. But like this much cut off of it, you bang it like something like this and it makes like a noise.
Speaker #1
That's cool.
Speaker #0
Some are big, some are big, some are short.
Speaker #1
Would you ever want to take like piano lessons or drum lessons or anything like that?
Speaker #0
Oh, yeah, for sure.
Speaker #1
Would you want to learn? Yeah,
Speaker #0
piano.
Speaker #1
Would you want to learn piano lessons?
Speaker #0
Yeah.
Speaker #1
I could talk to mom about that one. We could do that.
Speaker #0
Hey, dad.
Speaker #1
Yeah, honey.
Speaker #0
I always wondered what that little, I have those in school. What is that like silver thingy right there? No, not the camera.
Speaker #1
This thing?
Speaker #0
The thing next to the light switch.
Speaker #1
Oh, that's a door stopper.
Speaker #0
Oh. Yeah, that's so when you open the door, they're on the floor.
Speaker #1
That's more for like, this is called a commercial building. It's an office building. So what that's for is when you open the door, so the doorknob doesn't make a hole in the wall. It stops the doorknob.
Speaker #0
Yeah. Cool.
Speaker #1
Good question.
Speaker #0
How long have we been doing this for? Oh, 24, three minutes.
Speaker #1
We've been going for.
Speaker #0
24 minutes. 20,
Speaker #1
20. You know what I always look at? Actually, we're at 33 minutes. I think we've been recording. I look at this right here. Is that what time it is? And I think we started.
Speaker #0
The time we got here, was that like three or two?
Speaker #1
I think it was like four o'clock is when we started.
Speaker #0
Oh.
Speaker #1
Yeah. Like 3.59, 4.01. So we've been going for about a half an hour. We've been talking for. You know that I had some friends of mine come on before, and they were looking at the TV so much, Scott turned it off.
Speaker #0
Hey, guys. Yeah. This is your friend?
Speaker #1
Because there's no one there. You're just looking at yourself. So it's like, yeah.
Speaker #0
So instead. The best TV show ever. Oh, my gosh. Oh, hey, Dad, there's like eight cameras there.
Speaker #1
Yeah.
Speaker #0
Like one, two, three, four, five, six. There's a bunch.
Speaker #1
Those are all different camera angles that Scott edits and does everything. It's just these two, but like one camera's on you, one's on me, and then he does a two-shot. So there's like two of us together, split screen.
Speaker #0
Okay, dad.
Speaker #1
He has that right there.
Speaker #0
People won't know this question. I already know it, but a lot of people don't know it. Where does gas go?
Speaker #1
What kind of gas? Gas like tooths out of your butt?
Speaker #0
No. Gas like gasoline where you put in like cars.
Speaker #1
It goes through the engine.
Speaker #0
It's not for... It's kind of not... It's a question for me, but also for you guys to know.
Speaker #1
Do you know the answer? What's the answer?
Speaker #0
It becomes... It becomes a gas. Like, first off, it becomes a liquid. It goes through a couple of thingamajiggies. The engine? Yeah. And then it goes through this thing called the exhaust pipe at the end of the car. You guys know that from movies or something. Yeah, that's where it goes.
Speaker #1
Would you rather have a gas-powered car or an electric car?
Speaker #0
Oh, 100% electric. Lamborghinis, Teslas, yeah.
Speaker #1
Yeah?
Speaker #0
They can do a lot more stuff than regular gas machines.
Speaker #1
They're super fast.
Speaker #0
Yeah. They go like 80 or 90, 100 miles per hour or something.
Speaker #1
They go super fast.
Speaker #0
I don't know.
Speaker #1
Me neither. And I have a Tesla. Hey,
Speaker #0
guys, can you just like, hey, guys, I'll go back to my show and I want to see how loud it can get.
Speaker #1
No, honey, we don't do that.
Speaker #0
All right.
Speaker #1
Yeah. That would probably blow out Scott's eardrums in there.
Speaker #0
Oh.
Speaker #1
That would be nice to Scott. Scott's one of my good friends. Yeah. And this is his business. Yeah.
Speaker #0
So he's in there listening to hear. Yeah.
Speaker #1
He's what he's doing is he's, he's recording everything we're doing recording and editing at the same time. He does. It's called a live edit, live switching. He switches back and forth the cameras. So if I'm saying something like super cool, the camera will just be on me or he'll switch it. Like right now it's on me. Right. And then he can go one, two, three, boom. And it goes, look at that.
Speaker #0
And then,
Speaker #1
then he'll go to, he'll go to split screen. One, two, three. Boom! Splat screen!
Speaker #0
Oh, cool!
Speaker #1
You try it.
Speaker #0
Alright, alright. 1, 2, 3, Dad. Oh my god!
Speaker #1
Okay.
Speaker #0
1, 2, 3, me. Ah! 1, 2, 3, splat screen. So...
Speaker #1
Isn't that awesome? Yeah. And he's been doing this for over 15 years.
Speaker #0
Wow.
Speaker #1
He is the man. He's very, very, very talented at doing podcast production and editing. So to him, it's like riding a bike. He just knows how to do it. But it's so cool. Want to do it again?
Speaker #0
All right. Whenever Dad's talking, switch it to Dad. And whenever I'm talking, switch it to me, all right? That's some random stuff.
Speaker #1
I think that you are the, I think Jack, that this has been the best episode of the J and J show or Fargo's talk I've ever had. And I'm, I'm so glad that you, you came on and got to chat with me and I got to chat with you.
Speaker #0
Yeah. I love chatting. It's the best.
Speaker #1
And now we can chat together.
Speaker #0
Hey, Dad, we're chatting together. We are chatting together.
Speaker #1
Isn't that cool?
Speaker #0
Yeah.
Speaker #1
So do you think you'd ever have a podcast? Would you like to do this sometime?
Speaker #0
Okay.
Speaker #1
Would you?
Speaker #0
Just forget about all of this.
Speaker #1
Yeah.
Speaker #0
Yeah, just look at the person you're talking to. Just think that you're in a normal conversation with somebody.
Speaker #1
Talk to me about that for a second. If you could give somebody advice on how to do a podcast, what would you tell them to do?
Speaker #0
I would tell them to... I would tell them... Hmm. To talk? Yeah, because Fargo talks. Hmm.
Speaker #1
What should they talk about? Or like, should they be like open and honest and just be themselves? Or should they like act a certain way?
Speaker #0
All right. First off, don't be stage frightened. Step three, just talk.
Speaker #1
Yeah. And just have a conversation. Like pretend like the cameras aren't even there and just have a conversation.
Speaker #0
Yeah, just.
Speaker #1
Like you said.
Speaker #0
There's this thing called imagination.
Speaker #1
What do you mean?
Speaker #0
Like, boom, that's gone. Boom, boom, boom, boom. The table's on.
Speaker #1
How fast does your brain go? Super fast, doesn't it? Because you're super smart. Yeah. Your brain's always going.
Speaker #0
I know my new what? Minus, plus, times, getting to divide.
Speaker #1
Division.
Speaker #0
Division.
Speaker #1
Yeah. Need to blow your nose again?
Speaker #0
Yeah.
Speaker #1
Go ahead, use that. You're okay. You're okay.
Speaker #0
Hey, we're both talking. Look at me.
Speaker #1
Look at me. And now blow your nose. There you go. That a boy. Good for you. Get good blows in. You good? Did you get it? Yeah. Okay, here. So any more questions you have for me?
Speaker #0
Hey, Dad.
Speaker #1
Yes, honey.
Speaker #0
When did you get the idea of your tattoo right there?
Speaker #1
I've always wanted to get a sleeve tattoo. I always wanted to get one.
Speaker #0
When did you start wanting a sleeve tattoo? Like when you saw a person walking around with that? Years ago.
Speaker #1
Years ago. Back when I was married to Mom, I think I saw people have them. Before you were born. Before you were born, I wanted to get a sleeve tattoo. And I'll probably get another one on this arm benching, too.
Speaker #0
I gave them 23 or something. You were in heaven.
Speaker #1
Yep, you were in heaven somewhere.
Speaker #0
As Izzy would say, I'm dead.
Speaker #1
Or Izzy would say, you're dead. But yeah, I wanted it. And then I thought, all right, what kind of tattoo do I want to get? And then I thought, I want to get a family tree. So I just, I did. I want to tell you. A family tree.
Speaker #0
How much was it?
Speaker #1
How much was this?
Speaker #0
Because it's like a very big tattoo. It was expensive. Yeah,
Speaker #1
and well, the thing is, like anything else, like with tattoos, if you get one cheap, it's more than likely not going to be good quality.
Speaker #0
Yeah, it's going to be like in the 90s, black and white.
Speaker #1
What do you mean in the 90s, black and white? What does that mean?
Speaker #0
They didn't invent color yet.
Speaker #1
In the 90s, they didn't have color? I was around in the 90s. They had color in the 90s. Um, the 1789. They have TVs on the 9. What's wrong with you?
Speaker #0
Wait, how did they not know what color was when you're literally a color? I'm a color right now.
Speaker #1
Profound statement. Very profound. I don't know, honey. It's a great question. It's a very interesting, very smart question to ask.
Speaker #0
Deep. Because stuff is colors.
Speaker #1
Yes.
Speaker #0
How did they not know what colors were? Like, you see. Oh, you know what? And also, that proves that black is not a color.
Speaker #1
Well, I think that's a good question. They knew the colors. It's that TV or the movies didn't have the technology to have color. Like, they didn't have lenses.
Speaker #0
They weren't, like, very AI or something.
Speaker #1
They weren't AI at all back then.
Speaker #0
It was just black and white.
Speaker #1
Yeah, it was just black and white. That was it. Until I think maybe the 50s, 60s is when stuff, 70s definitely. But some stuff in the 60s is when more color stuff came out.
Speaker #0
69, George Washington was alive.
Speaker #1
1769? No. 1769, Jack.
Speaker #0
1999.
Speaker #1
Oh, yes. 99, there was color. I was, in 1999, you know how old I was? 29 years old. Had a full head of hair.
Speaker #0
What year were you?
Speaker #1
were you born 1969 when was george washington around 1769 1769 i never met george washington you never met him never met him why because i he was dead by the time i was born i
Speaker #0
was born 200 years after he he was around almost 200 years uh and i saw his grave is in the rock the rock I forgot its name. Mount Charleston or something. No,
Speaker #1
Mount Charleston's here. Mount Vernon. I think that's where he's buried.
Speaker #0
No, the ones that Mount Charleston. Why am I going to say that?
Speaker #1
Mount Charleston's here. No, I think he's at Mount Vernon. is what I think he is.
Speaker #0
It's like George Washington.
Speaker #1
Mount Rushmore.
Speaker #0
Oh, yeah.
Speaker #1
But I don't think he's buried there, though. I think that that's just his, like. No, no,
Speaker #0
Grave is in, like, The Rock and him.
Speaker #1
The Rock, like John Cena?
Speaker #0
No, no, not Dwayne The Rock Johnson or something, no. Oh,
Speaker #1
okay. I was curious. Okay. Okay, wait. I think we're going to wrap it up. Unless, is there more you want to talk about?
Speaker #0
Wait. Okay, so. This is how much water I'm drinking.
Speaker #1
Yeah.
Speaker #0
Wait, is drinking a word?
Speaker #1
Drink. No, drinking is not a word. Drink.
Speaker #0
Wait, look at this. Rided.
Speaker #1
It's not a word. Stop it. Wrote.
Speaker #0
Rided.
Speaker #1
No. Jack Fargo.
Speaker #0
Did you actually throw that? No, threw.
Speaker #1
Throwed it is not a word. Oh, my gosh. Threw. Bro-nid. Don't look over there. Look at me. Pretend like those cameras aren't even there and the TV's not there.
Speaker #0
Fine.
Speaker #1
Just look at me. Any more questions you want to ask me or anything you want to talk about?
Speaker #0
You want to ask me? Don't mess that up.
Speaker #1
When you turn 16, what do you think your first job is going to be? What do you want to do for your first, like, you're still, you're going to high school, but you need to make money, so you're going to get a job. What do you think you want to do?
Speaker #0
An astronaut.
Speaker #1
You can't be an astronaut.
Speaker #0
I'm becoming an astronaut.
Speaker #1
Okay.
Speaker #0
If I am not, if I am, you good?
Speaker #1
Yeah.
Speaker #0
Have some water.
Speaker #1
I'm good. You go ahead. We're going to wrap up pretty soon anyways. My poor throat. So aside from being an, what kind of car do you want to drive? Look at me. Don't look at the TV. Look right at me.
Speaker #0
I don't look at the wall.
Speaker #1
Nope. Look right here at me. What kind of car do you want to drive?
Speaker #0
Probably like a Tesla Lamborghini, not expensive, red truck or something.
Speaker #1
Lamborghinis are expensive. Teslas are expensive, some are not. Red truck is cool. Will it be red? Is that your favorite color?
Speaker #0
What's your favorite color, blue?
Speaker #1
Blue, it is.
Speaker #0
Hey, Dad.
Speaker #1
Yeah.
Speaker #0
When did you make your podcast?
Speaker #1
I started my podcast in, I started shooting here at Level 9 Studios, December of 2022. Yep. And my first episode dropped on YouTube on January 17th, 2023.
Speaker #0
Wow.
Speaker #1
Yep.
Speaker #0
Did you know there was a year 461?
Speaker #1
No. Yes. Well, yeah.
Speaker #0
The thousands.
Speaker #1
Yeah.
Speaker #0
And then if you go more down, it's just in the 80.
Speaker #1
Which is crazy. I wonder if they had black and white TV then.
Speaker #0
TVs were not invented.
Speaker #1
No? What about the Croods?
Speaker #0
Righted.
Speaker #1
What about the Croods?
Speaker #0
I think they weren't alive.
Speaker #1
No? I think it's just made up?
Speaker #0
It was before they were alive.
Speaker #1
Fine. Fine, Jack. I was going to ask you something, and now I forgot it. I don't know. Oh, I was going to tell you. No, I posted last year, 2023, over 410 videos on YouTube alone.
Speaker #0
410?
Speaker #1
Yeah. Well, like full-length episodes and then shorts clips from this. Yeah,
Speaker #0
you have like the most shorts.
Speaker #1
I have a lot. I don't have the most. I have a lot. I put up a lot. But that's, you know what? It's to get good at something, you keep doing it over and over and over and over again. So that's why I keep sitting here getting in my friends and having good conversations with people. That's all I do.
Speaker #0
I wonder what the editing is going to be like when we're done with this.
Speaker #1
For this?
Speaker #0
Yeah.

She loves you. She loves you very much. She's funny.
Speaker #1
She would be like a cook from Ratatouille.
Speaker #0
Think so?
Speaker #1
Yeah.
Speaker #0
Would she be the one? Would she be like the rat? That's controlling the boy, or would she be the boy getting controlled?
Speaker #1
I think she would be the boy getting controlled.

Speaker #1
Okay, so Izzy's nice. Alex is an eh.
Speaker #0
Oh, really? How come Alex is an eh? Tell me.
Speaker #1
You heard it from the podcast where we talked about Alex. I came in and I said that we just fight a lot.
Speaker #0
You and her fight a lot?
Speaker #1
And I rated myself like a 10 or something.
Speaker #0
You gave her like a 7. I think you gave her like a 6 or a 7. Do you guys still fight a lot?
Speaker #1
Not a lot.
Speaker #0
What do you guys fight about when you fight?
Speaker #1
It's like... She just randomly gives me, like, a mean attitude. Like, out of nowhere.
Speaker #0
Do you think that, like, she means to be mean to you? Or do you think she's just, like, tired and just kind of had it?
Speaker #1
I think she's just exhausted from school.
Speaker #0
I think she is, too. I don't think that she means to be mean to you. Like, I wouldn't take it personally. I think that she's just, she's 14 years old. She has to get up at five o'clock in the morning to go to school. Oh yeah. So she gets hardly any sleep. That's why when she stays with like, when you and I, when you and her stay with me on the weekends, she sleeps almost the whole weekend.
Speaker #1
I know. It's like, it's so weird that it, that like mom's job is like at six something AM. But then, um, Alex is at like 5 AM. So like on like Saturday, it's like holiday. She's just like,
Speaker #0
She sleeps, right? So I wouldn't take it personally if she snaps at you or if you think she's mean to you. She loves you very much. She just is. She's pooped. She's exhausted.
Speaker #1
Yeah, I love her too.
Speaker #0
You know? What about Max?
Speaker #1
Some. Okay. Yes and no.
Speaker #2
Okay. Why? Why?
Speaker #1
He. He bites like a lot. He's like at night. He's like.
Speaker #0
Is he still a puppy? He's not a puppy still, is he?
Speaker #1
He's two years old.
Speaker #0
Oh, he's still kind of a puppy.
Speaker #1
Yeah.
Speaker #0
So he bites you a little bit. Is it like love bites?
Speaker #1
I don't know. Like every time I wake up and I see him, he's just like. I think it also being some Clifford, the big red dog.
Speaker #0
I think he thinks that as well.
Speaker #1
Yeah.
Speaker #0
Because you think you're another dog and he just wants to play with you?
Speaker #1
Yeah.
Speaker #0
I think so too.
Speaker #1
Pretty much.
Speaker #0
I think so too. What is it?
Speaker #1
He also chews like a lot of stuff.
Speaker #0
Like what?
Speaker #1
Under some, he, and also he, I'm actually surprised that he can find those things. Like it's down to like a one by one Lego piece. You know what that is?
Speaker #0
No, what's that?
Speaker #1
It's like a Lego piece with just one...
Speaker #0
One dot?
Speaker #1
Yeah, one dot. Yeah,
Speaker #0
okay.
Speaker #1
And it's just like, how can you find that? Like, we have like a rug that's like, kind of like this big or something. I don't know. And he could find... The first thing he sees, like that's chewable. He just goes right on it. Yeah. I know, right?
Speaker #0
So when you grow up, what do you want to do when you grow up?
Speaker #1
When I grow up, I want to be like a NASA worker or like an astronaut at the NASA space station.
Speaker #0
Yeah?
Speaker #1
Yeah.
Speaker #0
What is it about space that you love so much?
Speaker #1
It's just that. It's just that the thing that created us, like, yeah.
Speaker #0
Interesting.
Speaker #1
Like, there's a lot of stuff to learn about space.
Speaker #0
What kind of stuff do you want to learn about space? Like, what do you want space to teach you?
Speaker #1
I. I want to learn about, like, black holes, white holes, wormholes, dark matter or something.
Speaker #0
How old are you?
Speaker #1
Eight.
Speaker #0
Sixteen?
Speaker #1
Eight. No. I am not sixteen.
Speaker #0
Look at me. Don't look there. Look at me.
Speaker #1
Look at me.
Speaker #0
I am looking at you.
Speaker #1
I'm so small. Oops. My teenager.
Speaker #0
Oh, honey, that was really funny. You're eight? Okay, so you want to learn about dark matter, wormholes. You want to be an astronaut, do you think? You want to be like in research? Or do you want to go like up into space, like the space station, going to rockets and doing that?
Speaker #1
That's it.
Speaker #0
Both?
Speaker #1
Yeah, both. Kind of like the same.
Speaker #0
Oh, did you like that one ride we did at Epcot where like...
Speaker #1
Oh, yeah. I remember it. Those two people next to us? Oh, yeah. Like this training thing for boxers.
Speaker #0
Yes.
Speaker #1
I remember all about it. You almost got motion sickness.
Speaker #0
I did almost get motion sickness. I did almost throw up. Because you're like this and it's like... And you think you're taking off.
Speaker #1
It's crazy. Zero grab. When you're taking off... It's like you're really taking off. It's like, it pushed you. It's like an air force just like coming, like a wall, like a hole. G-Force. G-Force?
Speaker #0
G-Forces. It's called G-Forces. It's gravity pushing against you. Yeah. It's the force of gravity. They're called G-Forces.
Speaker #1
He did that.
Speaker #0
Yeah, isn't that crazy? I was thinking the same thing. I'm like, how are they doing this that it's so real? I really feel like we're taking off in a rocket right now.
Speaker #1
Like going like. Like it was bananas.
Speaker #0
space you're like hi jack oh have some water have some floating i forgot what the name is have some dasani purified water that
Speaker #1
was a cool ride why did you just act like a fish for a moment
Speaker #0
Cheers. So, also, something I noticed with you is you enjoy talking to random girls. You enjoy saying hi to cute girls.
Speaker #1
Yes.
Speaker #0
You do.
Speaker #1
It's just being kind.
Speaker #0
Is it just you enjoy being kind? Yeah. You enjoy saying hi. You know what? Take the girls out of it. Boys and girls. You say hi to everybody. Yeah. If we're going up an escalator sometimes, like at the airport, you're saying hi to people.
Speaker #1
Okay, so we're walking around Thank you. Disney World, you know, like there's 10,000 people or something there. I'm going hi to everybody. Hi. Hi. Hi. How come? Just being kind.
Speaker #0
Feels good,
Speaker #1
Yeah.
Speaker #0
It feels good to be kind?
Speaker #1
Yeah.
Speaker #0
You're somebody that you love making other people happy because you're happy.
Speaker #1
Yeah.
Speaker #0
I think, right?
Speaker #1
Yeah, the share, the kindness.
Speaker #0
I think that you're one of the kindest people I know. Because that's something you've done since you were born. You've always been friendly and happy and nice. I remember one time, I don't know if you remember this or not, you said hi to somebody, and I think we were going up an escalator and they were going down or something, and you said, Dad, how come they didn't say hi back to me? And I said, probably, honey, because they were thinking about something or had their earbuds in or whatever, but you were concerned because they didn't say hi back to you. And now you just had everybody, do you care if someone says hi back to you?
Speaker #1
Um, not really.
Speaker #0
I didn't think so.
Speaker #1
Because sometimes I know, like, there's still happiness on the inside of them.
Speaker #0
That's a good point. Do you see a lot of kids that are happy at school? Or do you see a lot of kids that are, like, sad?
Speaker #1
Sometimes when I make jokes, they just laugh, and that makes them happy.
Speaker #0
How often do you make jokes all the time? What's that mean? A little bit?
Speaker #1
A lot? Like 90% of the time. You're always making jokes?
Speaker #0
Yeah. I wonder where you get that from. I don't know where you get that from. Probably, I think you might get that from me. Well, mom is funny too, though. Mom's also very funny. That could be. But you're someone that... You love making other people smile.
Speaker #1
Yeah.
Speaker #0
Right? Because it feels good to be kind. It's free. It doesn't cost anything.
Speaker #1
There's this girl at my school. Her name's Lila. Okay. And also this video is sponsored by Lila, um...
Speaker #0
Okay.
Speaker #1
Like, when I, like, make, like, a single, like, funny face or something, she bursts out laughing. She thinks you're funny. Yeah.
Speaker #0
She thinks you're funny.
Speaker #1
I have... She still can't... Can't ask my friend. Okay, I have four friends.
Speaker #0
Okay.
Speaker #1
One moved out of town.
Speaker #0
Okay.
Speaker #1
Hazen, Lila, Mega, and Blake. Blake is the one who got out of town to go to another school. Oh, okay.
Speaker #0
So you have four friends. Do you hang out? Do you sit with them at the same table? Well, three of them because one... Actually,
Speaker #1

Speaker #0
You have five friends. Okay. Do you sit with them at the same table?
Speaker #1
Lily.
Speaker #0
In your school? No.
Speaker #1
No, like what... What kind do you mean? Like at lunch or something? At lunch,
Speaker #0
yeah. It's an open question. Do you sit with them at lunch? Do you sit with them how you have your desk together in the classroom? Do you play recess together?
Speaker #1
But at my table. Okay, so Lila sits at my table. Nega sits at the second table. Hazen sits at the second table. No, at least it's, I forgot.
Speaker #0
That's okay.
Speaker #1
Yeah.
Speaker #0
That's okay. When do you guys get to hang out and talk? Like, do you have lunch together? Can you sit next to each other at lunch?
Speaker #1
At recess.
Speaker #0
At recess, you hang out?
Speaker #1
Every time at recess, it just feels like 15 seconds at recess for some reason. It's just like, we have like three minutes at lunchtime and then just like 15 or five minutes at... recess it goes by like that yeah like this you always love to do that super quick what do you do at recess with your friends we play games there's this one game i love playing it's called like lava mom's love it's called like the floor is lava but not like it with a twist so like oh someone random is picked as like a lava monster they have to stay on the ground to get to get people and make them the lava monster. It's really, really fun. We have like the playground. Yeah.
Speaker #0
Are you the lava monster because you have red hair? You're like, ooh, lava monster, red hair.
Speaker #1
No. But it's really funny. And yeah, that.
Speaker #0
It would be good.
Speaker #1
Smart option.
Speaker #0
Right. It's a very smart option, I think. Do you, what's your favorite thing to do at recess?
Speaker #1
My favorite thing to do is about like everything I do, Harry says.
Speaker #0
You love being outside?
Speaker #1
Yeah.
Speaker #0
It's fun to be outside.
Speaker #1
I love getting the fresh air.
Speaker #0
It feels good.
Speaker #1
Yeah.
Speaker #0
And it's just like we go for bike rides. It feels good, right? We go on the trails. That's a lot of fun.
Speaker #1
Yeah.
Speaker #0
Like, do you love riding your bike?
Speaker #1
I love riding my bike. That's my favorite thing to do,
Speaker #0
you guys. So let's talk about this weekend because it was a challenge for you, but you overcame it. You've been riding your bike now for a little over a month, and you're very good, honey. Yeah,
Speaker #1
it took like two days to learn how to do it.
Speaker #0
It took like two days. We taught you how. You picked it right up, right? You and I did it together. But you got in your first bike crash.
Speaker #1
Alex did it in like the first day she did it. The first day she did it,
Speaker #0
she conquered it. Yeah. That's Alex. But you got this weekend, you got in a little accident on your bike.
Speaker #1
Yeah.
Speaker #0
Right? What happened?
Speaker #1
It was just like I was speeding down the hill where we live. I don't know what happened. I could have hit my brakes a little and now I didn't. Or I didn't turn enough. Or it's just that I, because I, when I, um,
Speaker #0
Take your time. Because it's, it was, you were going really fast, right? But then you slowed down. But maybe you didn't slow down enough. And then you made, you made the turn. And then the bike hit the electrical thing, electrical box.
Speaker #1
Yeah, I knew it was coming. Like when I'm like turning, like when I'm turning, not yet, but when I know like I'm getting close to that curve, I know it's coming.
Speaker #0
And it was scary.
Speaker #1
I didn't know that my head was going to bang on the electrical thing.
Speaker #0
Luckily, it was hard because you said like your shoulder hit, right?
Speaker #1
Yeah, my bicycle hit the sun in my head. my
Speaker #0
Head hit a dog's face. Your head hit and your cheek got, your cheek a little bit. Look this way. Stare that way. Now you get a little bruise, but it's not bad at all. But you, and it's scary though, right?
Speaker #1
Yeah.
Speaker #0
It was super, it was scary for me because I'm running down there. It was, you were great, honey, ahead of time because I'm older. When I was your age, I just went out. Grandma just let me go out and rode my bike all over the neighborhood without her being around. But you were good because you said, Dad, can you come out and watch me so nobody kidnaps me? I said, okay.
Speaker #1
Yeah. Which was very smart. That was a very smart option because, yeah, it's more likely you get kidnapped when there's like a single kid around and no parents. When there's like a group of kids and more parents, it's not that likely for a kidnapper. It's much less likely, isn't it? Izzy told me that when I was in the car going to the bus, I was like, I want to take it out. But she said no. Oh, she's right. Yeah.
Speaker #0
She's right. She's very smart. So you were good because you asked me to sit outside, which I'll do from now on forever if I'm not riding bikes with you. Thank you so much. Of course, honey. You're welcome. If you want to ride just by yourself, I'll sit in my chair in the driveway. And you're going. And I saw you hit the... electrical thing. So I'm running to get you. Hey,
Speaker #1
Dad. So I was hearing like running steps. No,
Speaker #0
it was me.
Speaker #1
Oh my God. It was Dad. Of course. Were you like the cop from Cloudy and the Chance of Meatballs? You're like, come here for like what?
Speaker #0
Yes. Yes. I've got to go take care of my boy. Honey, you're my son. I love you.
Speaker #1
I have a question.
Speaker #0
Ask me anything. Do we have any tissues? Yeah. Do you have a runny nose?
Speaker #1
Yeah.
Speaker #0
Hold on one second. You go ahead and talk to the camera. Go ahead. You talk to the camera.
Speaker #1
Okay. Hey, guys. Oh, he's back.
Speaker #0
Here you go. You can take this and you can just break some of it off.
Speaker #1
Thanks.
Speaker #0
Yeah, and blow your nose.
Speaker #1
Is this toilet paper?
Speaker #0
It is. So if it's good enough for your butt, it's good enough for your nose. So give yourself some good blows and you're all set. There you go. Hold it closer to your nose. There you go. Get that right out, man. Just get it out. That a boy. Good? Oh. That's all right. Leave it there. You got it? You want to give them to me? Okay. Very good. Do you feel better?
Speaker #1
Yeah.
Speaker #0
Okay. But the thing, I was really proud of you, honey, that, because after you got in the bike accident, when it happened, when you crashed your bike, which everyone does that. Yeah. It happens more than once.
Speaker #1
It happens like every, or like, yeah.
Speaker #0
It just happens. It's okay.
Speaker #1
It's very often for you to get in an accident.
Speaker #0
It happens. Hopefully it's not often, but it happens. Not often. The more you ride, it's likely to happen. But you were good because...
Speaker #1
The more you do it, the more you learn. So accidents are kind of like your teacher or something.
Speaker #0
How is it your teacher?
Speaker #1
It's like when you make mistakes or something, then you learn to not do that. next time.
Speaker #0
When you got in the accident and it was scary and I came to get you, I came to get you, and when did you, from the time you got in the accident, we got in the house, I put an ice pack on you, give you some Tylenol, when were you like, I'm gonna get back on my bike?
Speaker #1
It was kind of like for the first like five minutes, I didn't want to go on the bike, but the next like... I don't know, 15 or something minutes. I wanted to get on that thing.
Speaker #0
You did.
Speaker #1
How come? I wanted to go all over town. Yeah.
Speaker #0
And it's something that I was very, very proud of you for doing that because I backed off. I didn't say get back on the bike because I'll never do that to you as your dad.
Speaker #1
No, never. Ever. Never, ever. That's up to you. Bye, Dad. Oh,
Speaker #0
thank you.
Speaker #1
You're not a good dad, but you're a great dad.
Speaker #0
Honey, my job on this planet is to love and protect you. That's it. That's my job. And I love being your dad. It is the greatest thing. I love being your son. Thank you. Why do you love being my son?
Speaker #1
You just give me a lot of love.
Speaker #0
Yeah?
Speaker #1
You're good parents, not bad parents. Yeah.
Speaker #0
That's very sweet.
Speaker #1
Because you're just like a replica of me. Yeah?
Speaker #0
Yeah. I don't think so. But I don't have red hair. I don't have any hair.
Speaker #1
You don't even have hair.
Speaker #0
I have no hair.
Speaker #1
You just have spikes.
Speaker #0
I have spikes. I have no spikes.
Speaker #1
When I told my friend, when I told my friends my dad was bald and only had spikes, they were, they thought you had like actual spikes. Like spikes on my head? Yeah. Like kind of like a mohawk or something.
Speaker #0
I'll show you a picture. When I was in seventh grade, I had a mohawk.
Speaker #1
You had a mohawk?
Speaker #0
I have pictures. Grandma Donna took the pictures. Yeah, I had a mohawk. It's like I had like a brush cut. It's like that high. So it's not big, but like an inch high mohawk I had. Yeah, when I played football in junior high school.
Speaker #1
Dad.
Speaker #0
Yeah, honey?
Speaker #1
Now I'm going to tell you just like I don't know two questions or something.
Speaker #0
You can ask me any question you want to.
Speaker #1
Honey,
Speaker #0
this is Fargo's talk. This is our podcast, not mine. Oh, yeah. You're the host, too.
Speaker #1
It's the J's talk.
Speaker #0
And the J's, Jack and Jeff. So go right, ask me anything you want about anything.
Speaker #1
What's your favorite sport?
Speaker #0
Ooh. I played growing up when I was younger in high school and college. I played football. I played lacrosse.
Speaker #1
But what kind of football? Like soccer football or just football?
Speaker #0
No, good question. Tackle football, I played.
Speaker #1
Because football is too. It's for two names.
Speaker #0
It is?
Speaker #1
Yeah.
Speaker #0
How is it two names?
Speaker #1
Like, you know, like when I played football and then the soccer football.
Speaker #0
Oh, that's right. I played tackle football and I started playing in seventh grade and I played till my sophomore year in college.
Speaker #1
Wow.
Speaker #0
So I played for years. Loved it. Loved it, loved it, loved it. In good old Canandaigua, New York.
Speaker #1
My favorite sport is... It's soccer.
Speaker #0
Is it? How come?
Speaker #1
It's just that you can get a lot of exercise by running a lot.
Speaker #0
You can, can't you?
Speaker #1
Yeah, and it's really fun.
Speaker #0
Would you rather, because we talked about this, and you said you'd like to do jujitsu, but would you rather do soccer than jujitsu?
Speaker #1
I can do jujitsu and then soccer or soccer then jujitsu.
Speaker #0
Would you want to do both of them or one? If you could pick one, what would you rather do?
Speaker #1
If I do both, then... That's going to be like every day I'm doing sports.
Speaker #0
That'd be too much.
Speaker #1
No. I'm going to, let me do jujitsu first, and when I get out of jujitsu, I can do soccer.
Speaker #0
Okay.
Speaker #1
If the season rolls around, you know.
Speaker #0
That's true. What other questions do you have for me? Ask me anything.
Speaker #1
Is that a window behind that curtain?
Speaker #0
I don't know. No, I don't think it is. I don't know.
Speaker #1
Camera set or something?
Speaker #0
I don't know. I think it's, you know what? I do think it's windows.
Speaker #1
It's a mystery.
Speaker #0
I do think it's windows. But Scott has a nice curtain set up to cover them.
Speaker #1
Cool.
Speaker #0
Yeah. So let's talk about, you're in second grade.
Speaker #1
Yes.
Speaker #0
Right? Do you love it? Do you like it? How is it? Is it meh?
Speaker #1
I like it.
Speaker #0
Yeah?
Speaker #1
Yeah.
Speaker #0
Why do you like it?
Speaker #1
Okay, it's just that I don't see you guys that often because, you know, like, summer is like, you know, three months or something. School is a whole year.
Speaker #2
Mm.
Speaker #1
And these years go on for 14 or 13 years, including college.
Speaker #2
It's a lot.
Speaker #1
Yeah. So that's how much time I won't spend with you guys at school. I spend like half of the day at school.
Speaker #2
It's a lot,
Speaker #1
Yeah.
Speaker #2
Does it get boring sometimes?
Speaker #0
Yeah.
Speaker #1
Does it? Because your brain is just like going super fast. You're like, what am I doing?
Speaker #0
My brain is just like...
Speaker #1
What's your favorite subjects at school? What do you like to do?
Speaker #0
PE, art, librarian, yeah.
Speaker #1
Oh, what kind of music do you like?
Speaker #0
I like...
Speaker #1
Like for music class, what do you do in music that you like so much?
Speaker #0
I like... We have these instruments. My old music teacher has moved to a whole different town, so I have a music teacher. We have these instruments. I like playing them.
Speaker #1
What instruments do you like to play?
Speaker #0
Um, the drums, piano, you know, that's, that's why we have a piano in our house.
Speaker #1
You have a keyboard in your bedroom at my house. You have a keyboard at mom's house too.
Speaker #0
I played a lot of them. Drums. Wait, have I already said drums already?
Speaker #1
You did, but that's okay. You can say it again.
Speaker #0
Um, there's like, we have like these stick things where you put like a cap on it. Like, it's like this water bottle, but we'll play. But like this much cut off of it, you bang it like something like this and it makes like a noise.
Speaker #1
That's cool.
Speaker #0
Some are big, some are big, some are short.
Speaker #1
Would you ever want to take like piano lessons or drum lessons or anything like that?
Speaker #0
Oh, yeah, for sure.
Speaker #1
Would you want to learn? Yeah,
Speaker #0
piano.
Speaker #1
Would you want to learn piano lessons?
Speaker #0
Yeah.
Speaker #1
I could talk to mom about that one. We could do that.
Speaker #0
Hey, dad.
Speaker #1
Yeah, honey.
Speaker #0
I always wondered what that little, I have those in school. What is that like silver thingy right there? No, not the camera.
Speaker #1
This thing?
Speaker #0
The thing next to the light switch.
Speaker #1
Oh, that's a door stopper.
Speaker #0
Oh. Yeah, that's so when you open the door, they're on the floor.
Speaker #1
That's more for like, this is called a commercial building. It's an office building. So what that's for is when you open the door, so the doorknob doesn't make a hole in the wall. It stops the doorknob.
Speaker #0
Yeah. Cool.
Speaker #1
Good question.
Speaker #0
How long have we been doing this for? Oh, 24, three minutes.
Speaker #1
We've been going for.
Speaker #0
24 minutes. 20,
Speaker #1
20. You know what I always look at? Actually, we're at 33 minutes. I think we've been recording. I look at this right here. Is that what time it is? And I think we started.
Speaker #0
The time we got here, was that like three or two?
Speaker #1
I think it was like four o'clock is when we started.
Speaker #0
Oh.
Speaker #1
Yeah. Like 3.59, 4.01. So we've been going for about a half an hour. We've been talking for. You know that I had some friends of mine come on before, and they were looking at the TV so much, Scott turned it off.
Speaker #0
Hey, guys. Yeah. This is your friend?
Speaker #1
Because there's no one there. You're just looking at yourself. So it's like, yeah.
Speaker #0
So instead. The best TV show ever. Oh, my gosh. Oh, hey, Dad, there's like eight cameras there.
Speaker #1
Yeah.
Speaker #0
Like one, two, three, four, five, six. There's a bunch.
Speaker #1
Those are all different camera angles that Scott edits and does everything. It's just these two, but like one camera's on you, one's on me, and then he does a two-shot. So there's like two of us together, split screen.
Speaker #0
Okay, dad.
Speaker #1
He has that right there.
Speaker #0
People won't know this question. I already know it, but a lot of people don't know it. Where does gas go?
Speaker #1
What kind of gas? Gas like tooths out of your butt?
Speaker #0
No. Gas like gasoline where you put in like cars.
Speaker #1
It goes through the engine.
Speaker #0
It's not for... It's kind of not... It's a question for me, but also for you guys to know.
Speaker #1
Do you know the answer? What's the answer?
Speaker #0
It becomes... It becomes a gas. Like, first off, it becomes a liquid. It goes through a couple of thingamajiggies. The engine? Yeah. And then it goes through this thing called the exhaust pipe at the end of the car. You guys know that from movies or something. Yeah, that's where it goes.
Speaker #1
Would you rather have a gas-powered car or an electric car?
Speaker #0
Oh, 100% electric. Lamborghinis, Teslas, yeah.
Speaker #1
Yeah?
Speaker #0
They can do a lot more stuff than regular gas machines.
Speaker #1
They're super fast.
Speaker #0
Yeah. They go like 80 or 90, 100 miles per hour or something.
Speaker #1
They go super fast.
Speaker #0
I don't know.
Speaker #1
Me neither. And I have a Tesla. Hey,
Speaker #0
guys, can you just like, hey, guys, I'll go back to my show and I want to see how loud it can get.
Speaker #1
No, honey, we don't do that.
Speaker #0
All right.
Speaker #1
Yeah. That would probably blow out Scott's eardrums in there.
Speaker #0
Oh.
Speaker #1
That would be nice to Scott. Scott's one of my good friends. Yeah. And this is his business. Yeah.
Speaker #0
So he's in there listening to hear. Yeah.
Speaker #1
He's what he's doing is he's, he's recording everything we're doing recording and editing at the same time. He does. It's called a live edit, live switching. He switches back and forth the cameras. So if I'm saying something like super cool, the camera will just be on me or he'll switch it. Like right now it's on me. Right. And then he can go one, two, three, boom. And it goes, look at that.
Speaker #0
And then,
Speaker #1
then he'll go to, he'll go to split screen. One, two, three. Boom! Splat screen!
Speaker #0
Oh, cool!
Speaker #1
You try it.
Speaker #0
Alright, alright. 1, 2, 3, Dad. Oh my god!
Speaker #1
Okay.
Speaker #0
1, 2, 3, me. Ah! 1, 2, 3, splat screen. So...
Speaker #1
Isn't that awesome? Yeah. And he's been doing this for over 15 years.
Speaker #0
Wow.
Speaker #1
He is the man. He's very, very, very talented at doing podcast production and editing. So to him, it's like riding a bike. He just knows how to do it. But it's so cool. Want to do it again?
Speaker #0
All right. Whenever Dad's talking, switch it to Dad. And whenever I'm talking, switch it to me, all right? That's some random stuff.
Speaker #1
I think that you are the, I think Jack, that this has been the best episode of the J and J show or Fargo's talk I've ever had. And I'm, I'm so glad that you, you came on and got to chat with me and I got to chat with you.
Speaker #0
Yeah. I love chatting. It's the best.
Speaker #1
And now we can chat together.
Speaker #0
Hey, Dad, we're chatting together. We are chatting together.
Speaker #1
Isn't that cool?
Speaker #0
Yeah.
Speaker #1
So do you think you'd ever have a podcast? Would you like to do this sometime?
Speaker #0
Okay.
Speaker #1
Would you?
Speaker #0
Just forget about all of this.
Speaker #1
Yeah.
Speaker #0
Yeah, just look at the person you're talking to. Just think that you're in a normal conversation with somebody.
Speaker #1
Talk to me about that for a second. If you could give somebody advice on how to do a podcast, what would you tell them to do?
Speaker #0
I would tell them to... I would tell them... Hmm. To talk? Yeah, because Fargo talks. Hmm.
Speaker #1
What should they talk about? Or like, should they be like open and honest and just be themselves? Or should they like act a certain way?
Speaker #0
All right. First off, don't be stage frightened. Step three, just talk.
Speaker #1
Yeah. And just have a conversation. Like pretend like the cameras aren't even there and just have a conversation.
Speaker #0
Yeah, just.
Speaker #1
Like you said.
Speaker #0
There's this thing called imagination.
Speaker #1
What do you mean?
Speaker #0
Like, boom, that's gone. Boom, boom, boom, boom. The table's on.
Speaker #1
How fast does your brain go? Super fast, doesn't it? Because you're super smart. Yeah. Your brain's always going.
Speaker #0
I know my new what? Minus, plus, times, getting to divide.
Speaker #1
Division.
Speaker #0
Division.
Speaker #1
Yeah. Need to blow your nose again?
Speaker #0
Yeah.
Speaker #1
Go ahead, use that. You're okay. You're okay.
Speaker #0
Hey, we're both talking. Look at me.
Speaker #1
Look at me. And now blow your nose. There you go. That a boy. Good for you. Get good blows in. You good? Did you get it? Yeah. Okay, here. So any more questions you have for me?
Speaker #0
Hey, Dad.
Speaker #1
Yes, honey.
Speaker #0
When did you get the idea of your tattoo right there?
Speaker #1
I've always wanted to get a sleeve tattoo. I always wanted to get one.
Speaker #0
When did you start wanting a sleeve tattoo? Like when you saw a person walking around with that? Years ago.
Speaker #1
Years ago. Back when I was married to Mom, I think I saw people have them. Before you were born. Before you were born, I wanted to get a sleeve tattoo. And I'll probably get another one on this arm benching, too.
Speaker #0
I gave them 23 or something. You were in heaven.
Speaker #1
Yep, you were in heaven somewhere.
Speaker #0
As Izzy would say, I'm dead.
Speaker #1
Or Izzy would say, you're dead. But yeah, I wanted it. And then I thought, all right, what kind of tattoo do I want to get? And then I thought, I want to get a family tree. So I just, I did. I want to tell you. A family tree.
Speaker #0
How much was it?
Speaker #1
How much was this?
Speaker #0
Because it's like a very big tattoo. It was expensive. Yeah,
Speaker #1
and well, the thing is, like anything else, like with tattoos, if you get one cheap, it's more than likely not going to be good quality.
Speaker #0
Yeah, it's going to be like in the 90s, black and white.
Speaker #1
What do you mean in the 90s, black and white? What does that mean?
Speaker #0
They didn't invent color yet.
Speaker #1
In the 90s, they didn't have color? I was around in the 90s. They had color in the 90s. Um, the 1789. They have TVs on the 9. What's wrong with you?
Speaker #0
Wait, how did they not know what color was when you're literally a color? I'm a color right now.
Speaker #1
Profound statement. Very profound. I don't know, honey. It's a great question. It's a very interesting, very smart question to ask.
Speaker #0
Deep. Because stuff is colors.
Speaker #1
Yes.
Speaker #0
How did they not know what colors were? Like, you see. Oh, you know what? And also, that proves that black is not a color.
Speaker #1
Well, I think that's a good question. They knew the colors. It's that TV or the movies didn't have the technology to have color. Like, they didn't have lenses.
Speaker #0
They weren't, like, very AI or something.
Speaker #1
They weren't AI at all back then.
Speaker #0
It was just black and white.
Speaker #1
Yeah, it was just black and white. That was it. Until I think maybe the 50s, 60s is when stuff, 70s definitely. But some stuff in the 60s is when more color stuff came out.
Speaker #0
69, George Washington was alive.
Speaker #1
1769? No. 1769, Jack.
Speaker #0
1999.
Speaker #1
Oh, yes. 99, there was color. I was, in 1999, you know how old I was? 29 years old. Had a full head of hair.
Speaker #0
What year were you?
Speaker #1
were you born 1969 when was george washington around 1769 1769 i never met george washington you never met him never met him why because i he was dead by the time i was born i
Speaker #0
was born 200 years after he he was around almost 200 years uh and i saw his grave is in the rock the rock I forgot its name. Mount Charleston or something. No,
Speaker #1
Mount Charleston's here. Mount Vernon. I think that's where he's buried.
Speaker #0
No, the ones that Mount Charleston. Why am I going to say that?
Speaker #1
Mount Charleston's here. No, I think he's at Mount Vernon. is what I think he is.
Speaker #0
It's like George Washington.
Speaker #1
Mount Rushmore.
Speaker #0
Oh, yeah.
Speaker #1
But I don't think he's buried there, though. I think that that's just his, like. No, no,
Speaker #0
Grave is in, like, The Rock and him.
Speaker #1
The Rock, like John Cena?
Speaker #0
No, no, not Dwayne The Rock Johnson or something, no. Oh,
Speaker #1

Speaker #0
Did you actually throw that? No, threw.
Speaker #1
Throwed it is not a word. Oh, my gosh. Threw. Bro-nid. Don't look over there. Look at me. Pretend like those cameras aren't even there and the TV's not there.
Speaker #0
Fine.
Speaker #1
Just look at me. Any more questions you want to ask me or anything you want to talk about?
Speaker #0
You want to ask me? Don't mess that up.
Speaker #1
When you turn 16, what do you think your first job is going to be? What do you want to do for your first, like, you're still, you're going to high school, but you need to make money, so you're going to get a job. What do you think you want to do?
Speaker #0
An astronaut.
Speaker #1
You can't be an astronaut.
Speaker #0
I'm becoming an astronaut.

Speaker #1
I'm good. You go ahead. We're going to wrap up pretty soon anyways. My poor throat. So aside from being an, what kind of car do you want to drive? Look at me. Don't look at the TV. Look right at me.
Speaker #0
I don't look at the wall.
Speaker #1
Nope. Look right here at me. What kind of car do you want to drive?
Speaker #0
Probably like a Tesla Lamborghini, not expensive, red truck or something.
Speaker #1
Lamborghinis are expensive. Teslas are expensive, some are not. Red truck is cool. Will it be red? Is that your favorite color?
Speaker #0
What's your favorite color, blue?
Speaker #1
Blue, it is.
Speaker #0
Hey, Dad.
Speaker #1

Speaker #0
When did you make your podcast?
Speaker #1
I started my podcast in, I started shooting here at Level 9 Studios, December of 2022. Yep. And my first episode dropped on YouTube on January 17th, 2023.
Speaker #0
Wow.
Speaker #1
Yep.
Speaker #0
Did you know there was a year 461?
Speaker #1
No. Yes. Well, yeah.
Speaker #0
The thousands.
Speaker #1
Yeah.
Speaker #0
And then if you go more down, it's just in the 80.
Speaker #1
Which is crazy. I wonder if they had black and white TV then.
Speaker #0
TVs were not invented.
Speaker #1
No? What about the Croods?
Speaker #0
Righted.
Speaker #1
What about the Croods?
Speaker #0
I think they weren't alive.
Speaker #1
No? I think it's just made up?
Speaker #0
It was before they were alive.
Speaker #1
Fine. Fine, Jack. I was going to ask you something, and now I forgot it. I don't know. Oh, I was going to tell you. No, I posted last year, 2023, over 410 videos on YouTube alone.
Speaker #0
410?
Speaker #1
Yeah. Well, like full-length episodes and then shorts clips from this. Yeah,
Speaker #0
you have like the most shorts.
Speaker #1
I have a lot. I don't have the most. I have a lot. I put up a lot. But that's, you know what? It's to get good at something, you keep doing it over and over and over and over again. So that's why I keep sitting here getting in my friends and having good conversations with people. That's all I do.
Speaker #0
I wonder what the editing is going to be like when we're done with this.
Speaker #1
For this?
Speaker #0
Yeah.
Speaker #1
That's, we'll see what Scott does and then my buddy Max.
Speaker #0
