Speaker 4 (00:32):

How's your box feeling today?

Speaker 6 (00:35):
My box is feeling great.

Speaker 3 (00:36):
It needs to be explored.

Speaker 4 (00:38):
Okay, yes, Amen's sister. All right, what's today's question to ponder?

Speaker 5 (00:43):
Man?

Speaker 6 (00:43):
Okay, so there are a couple of good ones. I
think you guys should decide which which direction we go in?

Speaker 4 (00:47):
Should we do?

Speaker 6 (00:49):
If you could visit your childhood bedroom, what is one
thing you would bring back? And why or should we do?

Speaker 4 (00:56):
If we had.

Speaker 6 (00:57):
Warning labels, what would they be? This is a tough one, boy.
We could do both if you want, if we have.

Speaker 4 (01:04):
Time for it. But let's go back to Let's go
back to our childhood. Let's go to our bedroom. Okay,
I know what I would bring back? What my aquarium?

Speaker 5 (01:14):
Awesome?

Speaker 6 (01:14):
Oh my god? What kind of fish?

Speaker 4 (01:15):
Did you have. I had everything that that would look
really pretty. I had crazy fish, but they were so colorful,
and I had those lights in there that made them
kind of glow a little bit. Yeah. I love the
sound of the pump on the aquarium that I would
go to bed to that every night, and I miss that.

Speaker 6 (01:31):
Why don't you have an aquarium?

Speaker 2 (01:33):
Now?

Speaker 4 (01:34):
I don't know. Okay, I don't know, because you know,
we're not at the house all the time, and no
one would feed the fish. What would what would be
in your bedroom you bring back?

Speaker 6 (01:44):
Okay, well mine's I would bring back my grandma because
she was all the time. So she had a little
Poojas station, which is like where she goes in praise,
and whatever reason, she wanted to keep it in my room.
So always she would just bust into my room and
go and do her prayers. Doesn't matter if I was sleeping,
it didn't matter what I was doing, she would do it.

(02:05):
She also had Alzheimer's towards the end of her life,
so she didn't remember that it was my room. And
I actually used to love it. It used to make me
chuckle that she would just come in and start doing
her prayers, and I think that's that's what I would
bring back. And I know that that doesn't necessarily count
as like a thing in your room. When I think
about my childhood bedroom, it's my grandma for sure.

Speaker 4 (02:23):
It's a memory you want to bring back from your bedroom.
I think that's a beautiful story. Yeah, I love that.
I can see how that would be very important to you.
What about you, Danielle, What would you bring back from
your bedroom?

Speaker 7 (02:31):
I actually have three things that I would bring back.
The first is a stuffed animal that I got when
I was in my first play, The Velveteen Rabbit. That's
the one that I was in with a Kerrie Washington
when I was younger, and we yeah, there was a
there was a stuffed animal, wasn't the rabbit, But I
kept it and I had the cast sign it. I
have no idea where that is something I would bring back.

(02:53):
My Strawberry Shortcake doll collection because it probably wouldn't smell
nice anymore, but I always love the way those dolls smelled,
so they were always on display in my room. I
love that and my Sit and Spin.

Speaker 4 (03:05):
Did you guys have.

Speaker 7 (03:08):
It in the middle of my room?

Speaker 3 (03:10):
Je?

Speaker 7 (03:11):
It was awesome. I bring that back my.

Speaker 4 (03:13):
God, sit and spin when you're older is a totally
different thing. Yeah, it's totally different. Why don't you come
over and sit and spin? What about you? Straight and eight?

Speaker 2 (03:23):
Okay, So similar to what Danielle said, anytime I went
to the hospital, I would get a stuffed animal. So
after a while, I had Harry, I had Barry, I
had Larry, Mary, Gary, Terry, and I think there may
have been another one. But I just had them all
lined up and when I would go to bed, they

(03:45):
would have to be in the covers with me, so
I would make sure that they're all under there staying warm.

Speaker 4 (03:49):
But I had all of these bears. I wonder what happened.

Speaker 2 (03:51):
I still have Harry, but I wonder what happened to
like Barry, Larry, Larry, and Gary.

Speaker 6 (03:57):
Don't let Scotty be get them.

Speaker 7 (04:01):
You are in the hospital a lot.

Speaker 4 (04:03):
Yeah, what about you, Garrett.

Speaker 1 (04:07):
I think my laundry basketball hoop, you know, you put
it on the back of your door, so uh and
like you know, you would shoot it and you know,
feel like you're in a basketball game, but it's.

Speaker 4 (04:17):
Your dirty clothes.

Speaker 1 (04:19):
But it just feel weird now, like as an adult
having it in the house, you know, like like on
the back of your door. But that was like my
go to probably my Nintendo sixty four uh in there.
And then my one poster where I took it was
it was John Starks from the New York neckst dunking
over Michael Jordan, but I put my face on it

(04:40):
so it looked like I was dunking over Michael Jordan's
all the.

Speaker 4 (04:44):
Memories you know what? Yeah, yeah, I don't think have
any of us thought about any of these things for
many years?

Speaker 6 (04:50):
No, not really, not like this, what.

Speaker 4 (04:53):
Are you scary? Well?

Speaker 5 (04:55):
My Samantha Fox poster I had one of those teams. Yeah,
I mean that was my first fora into uh looking
at female anatomy.

Speaker 4 (05:04):
I was just like, I was good, I did you
kiss it? Did you actually learn how to kiss on
Samantha Fox's face?

Speaker 2 (05:12):
Oh?

Speaker 5 (05:13):
I did not, but I found her so attractive and
I was hot for her. And and my CB radio
with my D one O four lollipop microphone, I was
mister X and I had a CB I had a
CB base home base station, and every night I would
go on there with my friends and then sometimes we
would just leave the microphone taped and hold it up

(05:34):
to a speaker and create our own radio station, w
JAM Radio, and we would just talk for hours, illegally
because you weren't supposed to be on yeah on mic
for that long. You're supposed to there for thirty seconds
and done.

Speaker 4 (05:47):
But wow, Yeah, you know what, I really want to
go buy an aquarium today. I think you should.

Speaker 6 (05:55):
I think if we have the ability to bring these
things back, and we love them so much, we should
the ones that you can bring back, bring up back.
Why not an aquarium that brings so much joy? The aquarium?

Speaker 4 (06:04):
Did you ever lamp? Did you know though? If you
shake them it it ruins them. It made so no.
Someone came in and shook my lava lamp. They're like
shaking it like a Martini shagar and it breaks all that.
I guess it's oil in there or what is it?
I don't know what it is. It's like an oil
base of something. Wait, it turned into thousands of little particles.

(06:27):
It never worked again.

Speaker 7 (06:28):
Oh did any of you ever have a Teddy Rupskin?

Speaker 4 (06:30):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (06:31):
I loved.

Speaker 7 (06:34):
Teddy Spin Rockspin Rockspin and my brother he was like
one of those first talking animatronic toys and he would
tell you stories, you would put this like tape in
his belly. And then my brother took him and smashed
him against the wall, and poor Teddy died.

Speaker 4 (06:50):
Did you ever put in a.

Speaker 2 (06:50):
Tape that wasn't him reading a story?

Speaker 4 (06:52):
You'd be like speaking? That would interesting. That absolutely the
whole point of Teddy books. Then all right, let's close
it out. I will say this that I love my
bedroom so much. I had so many cool things in it.
When I ever had to go to my bedroom for
whatever reason, I would love it was no problem. It
was a great place to be. All right, let's get

(07:15):
out of here. Thanks for showing up today, guys.
