Live from the New America studio and brought to you by Northern Quest Resort in Casino. It's the Dave and Molly show. Yeah, we are on. Happy Friday. How's going over there? It's Friday. Just finishing breakfast. There were no incidents below the belt. That is not what happened. It's Friday. Just finishing. Dutch bros. Oh my god, the breakfasts are so good. Yeah, that's the that's the new tradition when I saw you bring it in the Dutch bros bag. It even has the little pack that says Dutch bros so you know it's going to be good. Those places don't even give you a bag. Right. Which like bag that's eight cents. No, not a Dutch bros. They just hand you one. It's pretty good. Yeah. It is Friday. Today will be freaky Friday.

I have some questions for the showdown. So if you want to play Molly in the trivia competition today is your day. Okay, be ready for that. Okay. Right about eight o'clock. Kate Hudson will be in with us today. And then. It was just me on the set today. Sam is out today. Sam is traveling. Uh huh. And then. Today is the 25th anniversary of 9-11. So that was kind of the. You know, like where were you and and you know what do you remember about that? And I'll obviously it's a day that no one will ever forget. Right. Well, the people who remember there's just a huge amount of population that were either little or not alive. Now, which is. I think about that like. Our parents were part of they remember will or two or really remember Vietnam in real time. And this is the event of our generation that we will remember completely, you know, being full adults while it happened.

Yeah. Yeah, we were we were on the air when it happened. Just as scared as everybody else and no one really knew what was happening. And then. So. Yeah. But it's 25 years, 25 years. A lot has changed in 25 years. It has. So I'll talk about that as the as we move on through the show. But yesterday. I was still finishing here. And there was a chance that they had the big K HQ barb queue. Yeah. Yesterday. Did you go end up going? No, I didn't. Yeah. I got wait. May lay. No way. I was out in the valley. Okay. At a Costco run. More on that in a second. Oh boy. Greatest sample day in the history of Costco ever. Boy, that's a whole statement. I had all of it. It was amazing. Well, I was I was here. And then, you know, working on a few things and it originally was supposed to start at 1130. Yeah. And then I think they sent a thing saying, okay, it's going to be 1145. And I was thinking, okay, well, we'll see.

So I was finishing up here and and chatting with some of the people that were going over. Our friend Sam Adams. Mm-hmm. Loves the free barb queues more than any. He's always very excited about going over there. And I said, I'm not sure. I just was not in a good, you know, state for everything. But they were they were gathering to make their, you know, the make the big walk on over. Yeah. Right across the street. So I just said, I think I'm going to be out. Oh, okay. So I leave as I'm leaving the parking garage, you can't miss. There's there's Jason and Bradley. And they've got the giant barb queues going. They're smoke going crazy. Got stacks of buns. And I just thought, well, I'm going to miss out, but it looks like it's going to be fantastic. And I love the spirit of the whole thing. Yeah. Yeah. And then as I'm driving away in the in the rearview mirror, I can see all the people just kind of. Oh, yeah. So it was right about that. So you're here, but you did see, I knew I couldn't make it back in time.

I knew by the time I got here, there'd be like one hot dog and one burger. And they'd say, oh, here you go. You want to take that to go? This is scary along. Yeah. It was it was it looked like it was going to be something. And it was a very nice day. I was perfect. It wasn't last year. It was so hot. I remember being out there. Did they do the same thing over there? Oh, okay. And the year before that, we weren't here yet because we had started. So last year I did go. I was out with Quinn. Okay. And I was, you know, it's nervous. I said, couldn't you, could I say with you? Could I, and he said, oh, yeah, I'll make sure you're here. And he like secured a spot. I think, yeah. And I think our friend Luke, I think I sat with them because I was nervous. You weren't here. And I was, I was all by myself, fish out of water. And I, but I had a giant burger. It was so hot. So yesterday was probably nicer. Yeah. It was a little bit of a breeze because at once I, once I did get home, I was, I wanted to get Maui out. And as we were walking, I was like, oh, this is, yeah, the breeze is kind of nice.

So that was great. So it took, took care of my trusty loyal dog. Just got a few things done around the house. And then I found out that it was wine night, which I always forget that, you know, Thursday, so, so I, I had there. And I prior to the wine night, I, I still had some variety of meats and cheeses from the night before. So I'm eating that. So by the time I get ready for wine night, it's not, I'm not that starving. I'm not going to be to place. Just sensible salad. Just a, well, then, you know, one thing likely to another. And I had the, I did have the sensible salad. And then I had a side of the corn pasta. Oh, reasonable, not too much. It was reasonable, but yeah. So that was great. And then they, you know, with the football game on last night, it was the Rams and the 49ers. And it was in Australia. Yes. And it was on Netflix.

Well, most, most bars don't have Netflix on their thing. You know, that's, that's one that you have at your house, but not really on the thing. So, so they had set up a little tiny, like they had their phone that was playing the game. So here's my takeaway from the football game. It looked like a college game to me. It was because it was blazing sunshine. Yes. I had it this weird, at least at my house. It had this weird almost how I remember football looking as a kid, like tape not film or something. It had a different quality. It reminded me of when my dad would have football games. I just had an old school look to it. I don't know if it was the transmission or because it was, but the blazing sunshine reminds me of college football. It was, it was brighter than normal. And, and the fact that it's night time here, and we're watching a daytime game. That's, that's rarely the case.

Usually there, there are situations for us where it's the opposite. Where it's still light out, but then we're watching a game that night has already fallen because it's on the East Coast or whatever. Right. But yeah, it was, it was a weird. It was weird. Yeah. And how about those rams? The rams, all rams are going to crush everybody this year. Oh, they're the favorite go of the Super Bowl. They're this, they're that, they might go undefeated. Rams, Rams, Rams, Rams, laid an egg yesterday. I think you need to be quiet, sir. That is my defense you're talking about. Leave them alone. I was just, I'm just looking. I'm trying to find it. You're very excited about the Rams defense. I don't, I just picked them because I heard they were supposed to win the Super Bowl this year. Well, that's those a lot of chair out there. But so far I have 27 point. I only got like a point and a half last night. But hard asser, hoodlums, I'm a spoke and only has 8.8 points. So eight. Yeah. I'm winning. How did your, what did you have last night? I had, I'm, I'm expected to win the other league, which is very, very, very important.

Yes. And then in this league. I'm not sure. I think it's, I think I'm favored to win both. You know, support missiles. 59 points. Pork missiles did very well. That's that. Is that me? I'm playing. No, I'm playing, I'm playing. I'm playing. No, you are playing. I'm playing. I'm playing. You have four point one points. Who who did you, you're playing? Chika Go. Fills. Maddie. Yeah. This kitty cats. Right. Yeah, I'm the kitty cats. Yeah, four point one point. What's the, uh, what's my percentage of victory? Uh, well. Oh, I have to look on. But if you're just looking right now, I'm doing pretty well. There's only one person beating me and it's that so there I love that you yeah, well When I do the stupid and the college thing and you're like well

Well, I know yet there's no way you can wait Well the Rams got it out of their system maybe yeah now and They got in two days ago the 49ers have been there for a week Right, they were all the fans and so I Predict that the Rams will fare better getting back into the states than the 49ers world that you you spent a week in Australia You're now on Australia time Rams have no chance to get on Australian time. They'll sleep on the plane They'll get home and it's like they were never there Well, it kind of like was that like well, I know they didn't show up. It'll be fine Everything's fine anyway. Yeah, I think who I don't know who the ramp playing next But I wouldn't want to be that opponent. Yeah, they're gonna be a little angry. Yeah, so anyway So that with the the wine that was great and a Dean showed up for a bit And she had a bowl of the chili and so that was great and then then I got home and I watched the rest of the game

But by the time I got home to watch the rest of the game it was already decided like there wasn't there was no You know, I saw where the Rams almost scored and they were just short They should have scored and they didn't and then I was out It's me, but you've got the defense. You got that Rams defense. Well, I saw the score and I thought well This is nothing for me nothing nothing good could happen here. Yeah But that was it I slept well and ready ready for For Friday and then I got your text and that and I think it said hear me out You do the TV I bring in breakfast. Of course. I'm gonna agree to that So that's okay. I think it's a good deal for everyone You know, you could have been because we I think I went over to the set and then I was chatting with Kali and they had they had network cover John So we were talking and then we think I think we went on a little later than normal Well, I had a large situation this morning, which I never do and so it the snoozing situation. I don't know if I

Did it myself or and it was usually I go to buy said it I have 10 minute increments starting at four and then I 4 4 10 depending on what my obligations are in the morning I know when I actually have to get out of bed when I have to leave the house and Somehow the system got messed up. Oh, the system got messed up. I thought well I could either rush and go with wet hair and or I Could call it audible and I heard you out you heard me out you said hear me out And I said yes, I will hear you out. I was great. I felt I felt heard this morning And Dutch pros was Uncharacteristically quiet. I went to the one Washington and second. That was only one in line I Have a feeling I either just miss the rush or beat the rush because Fridays are usually Yeah, I came down I came down the fray a hill and I think there were four cars in line so

But I had already had my coffee at the house so Well, I left here yesterday and I had to head out to the valley to do a couple of things Well, once you're out in the valley and there's a Costco. I have not been to Costco. I bet it's been six months Whoa, I don't I just don't go to Costco because I don't need things in bulk, right? So I Decide well, I'm already out here. Let's just go do a Costco run The samples were amazing so start with a ravioli It's like a stuffed ravioli thing and it was almost a meal Then I got the ramen that was delicious. Then there were cookies. Then there was a cheese situation Then there was there was one it was So gross it was like a bar had a blueberry flavor and they gave you like half of it like that much like that much of it I took one bite of it But that's not good for that. That's not good for sales. But here's what I found out so you know our listeners have been telling me

Oh, they have pokey at Costco and I said no, you're lying and then they said no, we're not lying. It's always been there. Well, I thought I'll go look for the pokey Well right beside the pokey and and somebody will have to tell me I don't know I've never seen this at Costco sashimi real sashimi which you know sushi is the fish with the rice sashimi is just the fish and that's what we usually eat yellowtail salmon and tuna All in a row and for 30 bucks you got I think eight pieces of each one now at a sushi place that would be a hundred and fifty dollars. It's nice Well, you get three pieces for fifteen dollars at a sushi place And this is at least five times that so I was a but so let me word the listeners line They didn't tell me this part. It may be new So I called my mom and I said all I she said what what's got how how are you what's going on papa? I said listen

This is what I have to say have you ever seen sashimi and she said and she my brother or Costco people they go all the time And so she said this is news to me and I said well, they may not have it at your Costco I didn't try yesterday because it's something you have to eat that day you a you you don't want to keep it around I did get some of the pokey and it was delicious But uh now I'm very excited because we will that we will get that and then you get a California roll somewhere and you're You don't need to go pay a hundred and fifty dollars for sushi. No, you don't life has changed your back You're just going to your friendly neighborhood Costco that you did not attend it in over six months I can't believe and my membership is up but not quite yet so they didn't they didn't flag me so I'm waiting I'll pay it next month Here's the thing that happened though They're paving half of the parking lot So you know the valley the valley so if you look at the south the south parking lot right south of

Costco that it right along spread yeah the whole southwest Thing is closed. They're paving it so now you have to go to the other side So I go in over near the barn whatever the barn thing is a boot barn or whatever Come in that way through near the gas station and I park and I got a decent spot I'm not used to coming in that way and when I came out I had no idea where I parked I walked around with my cart it was like 10 or 15 minutes and I and I almost started to cry because I thought I've lost my mind and I'm that person and it's happened to me at that Costco before it never happens at the casino Somehow I remember where I parked at the casino. I've never had that happen So I'm walking around and then I thought I bet if I push this thing my alarm will go off. Yeah So I do it and it is Way over there. Oh, I mean on the other side of the whole thing and I thought that that that can't be that can't be my car

I can't be that far off So I finally get back to my car and I get home my friend Steve comes over we're doing some stuff then go get the girls for cruddy and my son said hey, how about if I come meet it karate and the karate days are winding down They're coming to a finish so we have to enjoy these so I bring a chair and he and I sat outside and There were no parents there was the weird thing usually there's tons the weather was perfect You know because if it's two hot or two cold them out So we sat and watched the karate and chatted and then we I sent him over to tomato street And I said you go get a table and you start ordering because he was starving So I said we'll meet you over there. So the fun thing about tomato street is they have chalkboards like when you first walk in and then In the restaurant where the girls could draw stuff and then they have the play no when they you can draw on the thing So anyway, we had dinner and I dropped them off around 715 so it was kind of a longer day. It's just kind of non-stop Um, and then I did a rewatch of steel magnolia's a Michelle

She left that's her favorite movie our friend Michelle that is a sweet movie and it does hold up and I forgot I haven't seen that movie in Probably since maybe it came out. I'm not sure so that was my viewing and then um, I did not even want I watched a little bit of friends as I was going to sleep No Brady Bunch didn't need it Oh, it's been how long has it been since you watched the Brady Bunch 48 hours only four and I haven't been the casino 48 hours And I can't go today either They missed me there so um, oh Trevor says hear me out valet Costco Oh, that might be a good idea Here's the thing about it when I go to Costco. I don't care how close I am to the store what I care about is how close I am to a cart return Yes, that's the key so I remember I agree I remember that I was facing north. I did remember that part and I remembered that right Right on the other side was a cart return But what I didn't remember is that it was the first like

I It was so weird. I must have just been not You know your park you're just mindlessly on I was probably thinking about what I was gonna get and And the samples oh my god and the wall of the wall. I call it the wall of I think it's like a That wall of suggestion when you walk in oh, yes, nothing you need that's all those items that they They're on sale like they're supposed to Click stuff in your brain. So I got swiffer. I got this swiffer thing with the um Like like a dusting thing and it comes with the actually I used it. It was great But it was like five dollars off. So I got some doggy treats that were off And I was like I got some cheese. I didn't buy any of the sample stuff But the samples were so good and I was like I was that person who was waiting Because I knew they were dishing it out and you know you get a stack up of people That's a shimmy thing though. That's a revelation. I don't know if that's brand new or what but my mom didn't know either so

When she's a Costco person. She's a she and my brother are Costco people for sure I got the girls some clothes because they were all on sale too they get the like sweat outfits that It's really good deals. It was good to be a Costco. I had better. I need to go and I I think the last time Well, I've been getting stuff at Costco, but it's been the stuff that were where they bring and so now it's like well I'm gonna have to physically go there and it's probably the better move anyway. I know I'll save a lot of money It's it's tricky because you do save money and and when you're at Costco You see the people who are shopping for people you know who though you see a young like 28 year old guy And he's buying depends and you know all this stuff you're thinking what is going on vitamins and oh yeah, he's he's Delivering um But here's the other thing so the guy I'm in line and the lines were great and he said you want me to pre-scan you And so sure so he pre he does all the stuff I walk up

She presses one button and gives me my total wow because it was all done and then Uh, they gave me a couple little boxes and that was it. So it was so efficient. What was your total price? Getting out of Costco to 30 that's not bad. No, and I have uh, I got a bunch of Halloween plates I got some frozen breakfast things Dog treats bottle of wine I got I got I felt like it was pretty good. I didn't really need anything I didn't need toilet paper and paper towels. That's when it started really yeah But I got a couple things to our little pricey. So It was good. I hadn't been there it was yeah And also because I was already out there and then I knew I wasn't gonna make it back for the barbecue all the sudden I had this And it was kind of relaxing like John to round Costco. Oh relaxing time at Costco Did not get my doggy out for a walk though because by the time I got home then my friend was coming over and I missed the windows So there was a shoe

When I'm there and I go to get the girls from school. I've gone for 15 minutes when I picked them up come back Not only is my walking shoe out the sock, you know, I always chef the sock in there because I know you don't like that The sock has been taken out the she was in the middle of the living room and the laces have been displaced because She was like she's sending you a message and it wasn't a flip-flop it was a walking shoe like you could have the weather is fine You are being lazy. So I Took my Maui. I think she she realized that it was you know The dogs and now have expectations like if you do it with certain length of time That's what they think they're getting every time but it was a shorter one yesterday But we did we did get out very quiet in the neighborhood and I think it's just because If you're Before school gets out. Yeah, all the kids the no kids And then you know anyone that has anything to do with kids. They're getting ready for said kids so You know it's different times different activity in the neighborhood. Yeah

I was reflecting on a conversation. So there's a young Man Who is working here now who was very tapped into YouTube. Oh, yeah, yeah writer his name and he's very knowledgeable and and I had a conversation with him yesterday Because I was asking him about something and he called He's just one of these smart kids who knows when he he's like no, I don't have that information He's just so smart, but I was telling the girls some of the stuff. He was telling me Which is that he knows some of the youtubers that they watch I mean just I said you know that saylish girl. Yes Yes, I was like oh now you listen to me. I said well, I know somebody who knows the who's met the family Where where do they meet him? I'm they were all ears for all of my information now you got some street creds I have some street cred thanks to writer because I I said yeah, I know I know the situation with this whole YouTube thing But as I was uh when the girls are at my house what happens is scarlet likes to go into the bedroom

She watches something she needs her she needs What does she say she needs privacy or she needs some she needs a loan time away from her sister like she's has to have that So roars out on the couch scarlet in the bedroom and then I'm kind of Getting snacks and stuff, but it's my time to work on the puzzle or I get on the computer. I do things But I have to hear the YouTube and I say please turn it down please turn it down And when I said to I was explaining it to our friend writer he knew exactly what it was talking about I said I want to break the TV when I hear how are they making millions of dollars these people Millions of dollars and my kids are all addicted to it They're all it's just That's a YouTube generation Crazy though and it's awful so Anyway, that's my little afternoon It's nice because the girls they don't really want anything from me. They just want Afterschool they need like an hour to decompress which I totally love. I that's like you do your

For us it was like Gilligan's Island and Grady Bunch or some you know Yeah, some TV show where you got home and watch that then you're ready to Yeah, tackle the homework or whatever Used to be that they wanted my full attention and that they would want to play and now they sort of because it's school time They need that and I get it. I that was my thing too when I get home from school You just need yeah an hour of Gilligan's Island or something just to Anyway, and then I I stayed up a little bit later than I usually do and then just the my alarm thing was And it worked out great for you worked out great. Yeah, you should go and you should go screw up my alarm every time Fuel for the day. Yeah I did get last night after the the football game which you know If it's a close game exciting game then I'll watch the post coverage and everything but I didn't so then I make the mistake of You know scrolling through the twitter X

But it was a lot of like 9-11 stuff and you know, it's amazing how all that stuff comes back to you and and because I remember watching We had the the today show on in the studio. We had no sound, but we were watching that so I I vividly remember the whole Katie Kirk thing and this has happened in the second plane hits well, what I never did see was Regis and Kelly They I was watching this documentary called the 9-11 generation It's on Netflix right now and for the first time ever I saw exactly that footage Yeah, I've never seen that either exactly and so I watched uh, I actually watched it quite because he'd they they started their show literally Uh right Nine a clock. Yeah, right? So just like a minute into it and they were Sort of talking about hey, this has just happened, but we're still doing the show It's kind of kind of crazy and at the at the beginning when that when the first plane hit if if you didn't see which most people obviously didn't

You just assumed That oh it was like a small plane and the pilot had a heart attack and he lost control and yeah, they said a small plane That was just like yeah, what what everybody thought and then When the second plane hits and that that one I remember it Scard me for life, but that you that massive jet and then the huge explosion. It's like oh my god Well, they were the on Regis and Kelly they were you know, so oh this has happened and then they see The second plane hit and then I think it's gulman that says actually another plane is now hit and then it was just like So I was why you know a lot of stuff that probably is not the best thing to be looking at before you go to sleep, but Um, yeah, it was a pretty um, I mean for every generation they have their big Horrible news story and I think for for us. I was it watched

I didn't have a monitor because I was in the other studio at the time And I didn't have a monitor in my studio But I saw through our window. I watched the host from the other it was like classy or whatever the river. I saw her see it That was because when you're trying to figure stuff out and I was all on my own and I was music mostly and I just thought I don't be responsible for this so I kind of said something's going on, but we're not sure And then watching her just she she just went oh And and so I kind of went to commercial break. I said what is going on she explained it to me And then for I I almost instantly just said I I'm gonna hand this over and they took our whole station and turned it into news right they rerouted it because Like oh here's the pesh mode like we don't yeah and that was yeah It was it was awful, but seeing somebody and then trying to figure it out and then going home And then our station wanting us to go immediately out and start

handing out flags and raising money and doing else and like what are you even doing like this is we need a minute to Take this in yeah, it was It was a day that we went and the fair it's interesting because the fairways happens at this time Yes, and we had promised my friend Heather's little girl that she could go to the fair She was like three I think so she's no idea and I think it was probably the 14th that we went or something and Very quiet and it was yeah Yeah, I think the fair had just the fair had opened the previous Friday. Yes 9-11 happened on a Tuesday, right So it was you know kind of in the middle of that next week. Yeah Yeah, it's weird to hear because the Kali was talking I think she's I think she said it on the air But she we were talking before we went on but you know About like what where were you and how how did the you know 9-11 25 years ago

She was saying that Leslie Lowe had heard it from us from Yes, me and Ken when you go and show and then the same with some other other people in Media, you know of Chris Crocker was another one who you know later on she said I I heard the news from you guys Yeah, it was just it was just a regular Start to the day until that happened and then of course everything changed yeah And we didn't the the one thing I will What I did learn from a tragedy happening on the air is trust your own Thoughts and judgments because you know we're going through and people are saying oh you got to do this you got to do that And it's like well, I think we need to you know Let's let us play this out Well later in the show they were talking about When the plane went down in Pennsylvania and they said and this is completely unrelated to all this and

I said how how can you say that and it was multiple people and What we're supposed to be credible sources right they were saying no no It's completely different deal. This is this is not related to these other planes and I said well What are the odds? Yes, I mean that did it just never didn't yes pass the sniff test, you know But that was a whole Scary thing too because there was like all this stuff going on then they Every plane that was still in the air at that time what you were nervous about until they got all the planes landed in all the different airports across the country Do you I don't know if you remember for us anyway out like sporting events and stuff We're out with the kids and the little plane would fly by and everybody would just yeah And because we at that time we golfed a ton and we were always on downriver and and my part of my whole thing I like to watch the airplanes go over on like hole number seven they go over and I I would be distracted watch the airplanes and

We went and there was nobody there like Quiet it was back before golf became what it was anyway, so we were kind of the only people out there sometimes but the but it was so weird not to have Plains you know landing constantly and anytime there would be any plane in the air for months It would be this weird. I remember seeing like a just like I guess like a biplane type of thing You know thing and there was a time after 9-11 and there were there's all these different fears and you know We were scared of a lot of stuff and I give us a pass on that because yeah prior to 9-11 Who would have ever thought of that so everything is in play now like and then they were saying oh Then there's the fear of their they're gonna be dropping You know like poisonous stuff from the sky in these in these bi planes and that was a fear So even when you saw one of those planes, you're a little bit rattled. It was just a uh crazy crazy time

Um when we went on our trip the spring and we went through gander That was so moving you know they have a whole museum at their airport because they that's what the musical come Yeah, come from a ways about everything the people from gander. There's normally I don't know 2000 people there. It's a very small place and all the sudden I think they had 200 planes land or some crazy amount of planes because that is you know You go up over Greenland and Iceland and that's kind of the route while all these planes had to land And they were all in gander at this You this airport and they just had them stacked up and people took people into their homes because they think they were there What was the ground was it six days? It was yeah, yeah, yeah, it was multiple days And they had no hotels and so people were taking them in they stayed so at the airport there They have this cool museum with photos and stuff and uh just what that community did for Everybody and we landed there at two in the morning They were all up showing us and being so kind to us and it was that that part of it was just really interesting

And I'm glad they made a whole Like show about it because that's really It is an interesting story that that part of the story. Yeah, yeah 25 years man that just seems impossible This yeah Yeah Because I and I was thinking like Jake wasn't even We didn't adopt Jake's till 2004 So when he came to us he had experienced 9-11 on his own somewhere And I when I came to realize when he was about 12 is that He really he we were on a flight and he jokingly mentioned a bomb or something and I said I said you can't ever do that. He said what why I said 9-11 he said what's that like Because of his situation and being in foster care. He just hadn't and I thought oh my god Nobody explained this to you what happened But then at that weird age what do you say to a kid? You don't want to scare them And if people aren't paying attention so he had kind of missed that part of history

Like the girls with the pandemic I explained to them well we were on lockdown during that time And they're like what was what's locked down? Yeah, well, we're was one in scarlet was three So they have no idea what locked it. They don't remember the pandemic at all and it is Someone was telling me this not not recently but in reference to 9-11, but it was like 25 years. So I graduated high school in 1980 So that's and I have vivid memories of what happens then well 25 years before that is 1955 right and that just seemed like so Like that is so irrelevant nothing in that time could ever be in my thought process for this time well for For people that are you know, there may be in high school right now. Yeah, or or you know Teenagers and that kind of thing you go back to 2001 that is like yeah Nothing existed in 2001. It so it is a

You know for for older people that have been through it when we were young adults seeing that and and remember it We sound like old-timers talking about it, but it it is in your head forever. Oh, yeah Well, and I remember my friends navigating it with their kids because they They had to in real time explain What was going on and how the schools handled it what the school said because that's a very important thing too Especially if you're let's say middle school high school and you're really well any of the ages how Who tells you what happened and how they Describe what happened is going to set it's like the shuttle the the challenge or yeah So that is etched in a lot of our brains because we were watching it live like that That's one of those things that and how your teacher Handled it was really really important as to how much it was gonna stay on your soul for the rest of your life kind of thing And I think 9-11 was that way. I was glad I didn't have children at the time to navigate it because

Well, but like the pandemic too You explain well, there is this virus, you know, and they they can't comprehend it Alex remembers it because he was with me a lot But they don't remember the fear they don't remember the panic they don't remember any of that stuff Which is maybe better I remember it and I don't but I do remember the fear after 9-11 It was so scary and it did change it changed our country forever Just the sense of security was gone all of a sudden Yeah, just being scared like being scared in here like as you don't know what's gonna happen. Yeah, exactly Exactly All right, thanks for being with us.
