Paul Walter Hauser

We have company coming over.

And then my middle child, my three-year-old Jonah, Jonah Maverick, he, man, he just, he's so sweet and empathetic and entertaining and interesting.

But also with that comes the Tasmanian devil spirit of like not being able to turn it off.

And especially when you're trying to get him to bed or the baby's sleeping and he'll just be walking around the house going...

Because you heard us say nipples once and now he says it all the time and we're like, oh my God, what is happening?

I think it helped me reprioritize in a way, which a good relationship or children will do.

It also makes you have a better fortitude for things.

Things that you thought were hard really aren't hard in comparison.

But I think, too, it's really, I don't know, I think it makes you a better person in general, maybe.

Yeah, I hope I answered that correctly.

Yeah, you can weaponize them or make them part of the Peace Corps.

It depends.

It's funny, though, the things they pick up on, too.

Sometimes the thing you're most perturbed by is a character trait that you yourself inhabit that they're somehow sponging.

I'm like, oh, my poor parents.

I probably didn't give them enough credit, obviously.

And sometimes quite literal where, like, I remember this story.

Growing up, we had these friends called the Kunitzers, Ryan and Megan Kunitzer.

And Megan tells this story about me.

She was over playing with my sister, who she was in the same grade as.
