I always knew my daughter was quite smart, but I didn't know her memory was so good. She surprised me this week so I thought we would have an episode on hers versus my memory.

Our (my) cat, Buffy, passed away this past week so I thought it would be nice to dedicate an episode to her that was about cats. Baby D brings up a song sung in "Friends" so I named the episode like a "Friends" episode.

Denise also created a song using "SUNO", which is an application that, apparently, uses AI to take words she writes to create a song. She wrote a song for Buffy the day she was put to sleep. That song is at the end of this podcast episode.

Denise is learning to play basketball and her playing reminded me that I used to play when I was a kid. So in this episode we discuss our skills.

So this episode is really strange. We started the episode on Saturday after her first ever hair appointment. The Squarock box crapped out on us half way through the episode. I didn't realize the box retained it's own back up power. I hadn't turned on the actual power to the box. So there were MANY technical difficulties.

We ended up recording the opisode in record time and thought we were done. I figured I would edit after we came back from Applebee's. Unfortunately, when I went to run my edit on it I found out there was an issue with the sound itself and the Squarock box didn't record the audio (that's another story).

Anyway, this episode is the shortest of our lot so far. The actual episode is only 6 minutes. The rest is the audio that was screwed up from both sessions. I wanted to retain it for myself mostly.

Anyway, try to enjoy this.

Baby D's school had a skate night last night and I thought about the differences in the way things are done now versus when I was a kid. So, we discuss some of those differences.

Baby D was off the chain on this episode. I wanted her take on family. I had just brought her back from seeing one of her brothers and one of her sisters. So I thought it would be a good time to explain different types of family. It didn't go exactly

This recording ends abruptly because she was having a very hard time paying attention, she wouldn't speak into the microphone and she wouldn't stop playing with her iPhone. She was playing a game and metaphysically "phoning it in" this time. The podcast ends with her just saying "Good-bye" and leaving the room.

Sorry.

We discuss some of the small differences between school how it is now versus when I was in school as a child.

We discuss what it was like to be a kid in the 1980's growing up and getting a job at 12 years old to get her perception of it.

My daughter and I decided to "debate" Taylor Swift for our first Podcast. Needless to say, we both have our own opinions.
