Hello, and welcome to We Know its Parenting.
0:14
I'm Peter McNerney, and this
0:17
is not a real episode, my friends.
0:20
Sometimes the universe wants
0:23
you to succeed, and other times it
0:25
lets you spend an entire morning
0:29
editing together uh incredibly
0:31
long interviews with your kids into a really
0:34
cute, extra long episode.
0:37
And then um, then the app tries
0:39
to update itself and deletes
0:42
the whole thing, and then you get
0:44
so mad that you scream into
0:46
a pillow. Um for
0:49
god knows how long. Time really starts to blur
0:51
and it's a pandemic, so what's time anyway?
0:54
And then you try to, you know, broach
0:57
the subject of rerecording the episode
1:00
with your wife and and you both
1:02
know it's not gonna happen. We
1:05
because we bought all the honesty,
1:07
all the truth and all the fun into the
1:09
first recording and then here
1:11
we are with almost nothing,
1:15
and uh, we decided we can't
1:17
do it. We can't do it. We
1:19
would just try to be we trying to be recreated
1:21
all the delightful you know, an
1:24
honest banter that we do, and
1:27
that's bullshit, and um, we're not
1:29
going to do that. So uh,
1:32
my, my, my, my,
1:35
great apology, My great
1:37
apology, My apologies
1:41
to the listeners, um for
1:43
getting a new computer and not making sure that
1:45
the software worked before
1:47
we recorded. We'll be back next
1:49
week with a regular episode. UM.
1:52
So, all we're gonna do in this episode is we
1:55
have a little bit of an interview that we recorded.
1:57
The one piece that was not deleted
2:00
from a previous save, uh
2:02

2:04
with Brent. Now it's not clear
2:07
who is interviewing whom
2:09

It's great to be here. Hi, brand Hi,
2:39
how are you doing good? Um?
2:42
So, what do you want to interview me about? Um?
2:49
All about different animals. If
2:51
they ask any kinds of animals,
2:54
you talk about them.
2:56
Oh so, all right, you're gonna
2:58
ask me about an animal and I'm gonna about animal.
3:01
Um, I want you to tell me
3:03
all about piranhas
3:06
piranhas. Um. I don't know the time, but pranas
3:09
are um a smaller fish
3:11
than you think, but they've got teeth and they
3:13
eat meat. So if you jump
3:16
in a river, I think in the Amazon with a lot
3:18
of pranhas, you could I
3:20
don't think they'll kill you, but they could take some
3:22
chunks out of you. Uh,
3:24
brand, Can I ask you a question? Um?
3:28
Yes? Um? Do
3:30
you like being the host of
3:32
the podcast? Sure?
3:36
Is there anything about me Brian that
3:38
you don't know? No, you
3:41
don't think there's anything about me you don't know? Well,
3:44
actually there's things that I don't
3:46
know about you. I don't know why your
3:48
name is Peter and all
3:51
some of you and you have some
3:54
friends that had the
3:56
same name, so you had to
3:58
talk about So
4:01
you have to say, like their
4:04
last name so you can
4:06
so they know you're
4:09
they're talking to. That's true.
4:11
In middle school and high school, some
4:14
of my closest but my two close friends
4:17
were named for Peter and Peter um
4:21
um. There are actually five Peters
4:23
in my grade. Um,
4:26
and so we all went by our last name because
4:28
we'd be like, hey, Peter, and then four
4:30
of us would be like yes, what huh
4:33
huh me him, Peter, who
4:35
him? He goes, no, No, Peter, me you
4:38
him, and so we just they
4:41
they called me Narnie. Sometimes
4:43
they call me Nern. Do
4:45
you think that's a cool name? M
4:48
m well, no,
4:52
because the Mario Kart as
4:54
that name. There's
4:57
a Narni in Mario Kart.
5:00
No, it just as Nern instead.
5:04
Oh, I think that's I think
5:06
that's my user name Mario Kart.
5:08
I wrote that because when I started
5:11
playing video games where
5:13
you could add a name, I was
5:15
probably in fifth grade, and
5:17
so I'd write Nern. So
5:20
you put yourself and Mario
5:23
Kart. We'll be asked for your name, and
5:25
that's my cool nickname Nern Nernie,
5:28
Nern dog, Nern Burger. Yeah,
5:30
but your luck. But your real last name
5:32
is Nicknerney.
5:35
Some people call me McNerney.
5:38
Why. Um, But you also asked,
5:40
why is my name Peter? Well,
5:42
do you know what my dad's name is? Ostritche
5:49
that's right. Your grandfather's name is Ostrich
5:52
McNerney. No, his
5:54
name is also Peter, and you know his
5:57
only name is Ostrich. That's
5:59
his nick name, Peter. He
6:01
is pretty tall, like an Ostrich. Um.
6:05
But you also know that grandma has a twin
6:07
a twin brother, and his
6:09
name is also Peter. No, his
6:11
name is Robot. Oh
6:14
you're right, I've got my whole back story wrong. So
6:17
now you know those things about me. But
6:20
what do you think it's like to be a
6:22
daddy? Do you think it's easy
6:25
or hard? Easy? Why
6:28
do you think it's easy because you
6:31
know everything what to do, like
6:35
when you're grown
6:38
up, like if you got
6:40
kids, you
6:43
you just know what to do. That's easy.
6:46
M hmm. Do I make it seem
6:48
like I know everything? I
6:50
don't think? So what do
6:52
you think I don't know about you?
6:55
Don't know anything that I know some
6:58
things that I told you? I
7:02
know everything? Oh you know everything?
7:05
Yes, all right? Bran Um?
7:09
So do I
7:11
make you mad? Sometimes? What
7:14
do I make you mad? Sometimes? Why would you ever
7:16
make me mad? When you like
7:18
at when you are mad at me?
7:21
You don't make you be mad?
7:24
You make me sad? Oh?
7:26
Well, I don't want to make you sad? But sometimes
7:29
do I? Sometimes I make I make you sad
7:31
when I'm angry, only
7:33
if you just do it. Like yelling, Do
7:37
I yell a lot? Or do I yell just sometimes
7:40
all the time, all the time? Every
7:43
time you're mad at me? So mad every
7:46
only every time you're so mad? Why
7:49
do I get mad at you because
7:52
I do something so bad?
7:56
You are that mad? Like?
7:58
What do you have any
8:01
bad habits? You think? I
8:03
can't control myself? Movie than candy.
8:05
I love candy. You
8:10
know that you know that you shouldn't have treats
8:12
in the middle of the day, but you can't help
8:14
it. Yeah, I can't help it'sess my brain
8:16
control. It's just that my brain
8:18
controls to do it.
8:21
So your brain is telling you to get candy,
8:24
but another part of your brain
8:26
knows that you shouldn't, right, Yeah,
8:29
but he just is. He's
8:32
just like a bad brain.
8:35
Also, do you have different kinds of brains,
8:38
Like you have a good brain telling you what
8:40
to do that's good, and then another
8:42
part of your brain that's like, yeah, but I'm the bad
8:44
brain. Go get some chocolate chips
8:46
and fill up a giant cup with it and eat
8:49
it on the white couch. Is
8:52
it like that? I think you mean white comfy
8:54
chair. I'm sorry, the white comfy
8:56
chair. Does
8:59
it feel like That's times where one part of your
9:01
brain is like the bad
9:03
guy, one part of your brain is is
9:06
patient and understanding.
9:09
Yeah, but I don't.
9:12
I don't ever know which one is the which
9:15
mm hmm. That's a good point.
9:17
Like every time I fall asleep, I
9:20
don't have any brain inside me. It
9:23
does dreaming is weird. What do you think happens
9:25
when you're asleep? What does your brain do when
9:28
you're asleep? Hey,
9:31
there isn't even my good
9:33
brain or or my bad brain
9:36
isn't there. It's just nothing's
9:38
happening. Yeah, well
9:40
do you have dreams? No, my brain
9:43
doesn't make me have dreams. You never never
9:45
had a dream before. Yeah, I
9:48
do not know, but
9:51
you don't think it's your brain when
9:54
I'm asleep. I
9:56
actually there's only one thing
9:59
that I know was that, like
10:01
every time I fall asleep, my
10:04
brain goes at different places
10:07
and they take out and
10:10
and the bad brain is actually
10:12
evil. So he so
10:15
he goes
10:17
to someone's house. He takes that
10:20
person, that kid's brain out and
10:23
puts self in there and he
10:25
makes their brain brain.
10:28
I mean they're there. They
10:31
they they have a nightmare.
10:34
So that's where your brain goes. That's why you don't
10:36
have nightmares, because your bad brain goes away
10:38
at night. Yeah, like good brain
10:40
to stays there. He just likes
10:43
to be with me because he likes me. Um,
10:46
Brn, I have one more brain, Brinn's
10:49
brain. I have one more thing to ask you about. I want
10:51
to ask you about your sister. What
10:53
do you think about Maybe I don't
10:56
really have my I don't really have my good
10:58
brain in right now, so that's
11:00
going to affect your answer. When
11:03
I have my bad brain, I really know everything.
11:05
Oh so your brain bad brain is smart. Yeah,
11:08
my brad brain knows everything.
11:10
Actually I don't really know all the things
11:12
that it knows because
11:15
I don't really know everything when I have it in.
11:19

11:21
