00:00Is there something from your upbringing with Kurt and Goldie that you now catch yourself
00:04passing on to your kids, like unintentionally or unintentionally?
00:08Yeah, it's a funny, it's a good question. It's funny because obviously Kurt's not my blood
00:14father, but I have a lot of his mannerisms and sometimes my inflections, the way that I get
00:22angry sometimes, the way that I get excited and praise because, you know, Kurt, Pa, I
00:30call him Pa, Pa is just a, he's just got so much life force in him, you know, and when
00:37he loves, he loves hard and when he laughs, he laughs hard, you know, and when he is
00:41opinionated, he opinionates hard and it's the beautiful thing about him. And so I take
00:46that a lot of my, I'm weirdly getting emotional, with his, you know, with his sort of life force
00:59when he gets loud and he gets big, when I get big, I find my inflections, the way that
01:06I speak, very similar to him. And then just raising your children, like you can't help
01:12but mirror all the great things that your parents gave to you, you know? I think it's
01:18normal for us to pick and choose because I always say it's not about if we screw up our
01:24kids, it's about to what degree, you know? I mean, we're all trying our best. We're never
01:28going to get it right, right. That's not an impossibility. Perfection is a word that shouldn't
01:32even exist in the English language. I don't even know what is perfect, you know? So I find
01:38myself, you know, doing things like Kurt does for me personally. What he did for me was took
01:47me from sort of a little scared boy who was a mama's boy and taught me how to be alone,
01:52taught me independence, the freedom of sort of being able to find your way and not have
01:57to rely on people, a toughness. He may be the man that I am, 100%. And I find that I am
02:05doing the same thing with my kids. That sort of, that tough love a little bit when it's
02:09needed that, hey, shake it off, buddy, you're okay. When to step forward and when to step back.
02:14Yeah. Yeah. And then mom for me is just, I have all of her sensitivity, all of her empathy,
02:20you know, I feel a ton, you know, too much. That's why I'm on 20 milligrams of Lexapro.
02:26So I've got them both.
