Speaker 1 (00:00):
Now we already talked about the highs and lows, or

(00:01):
the highs of like Kyle Sun Easton riding a bike,
but now also, I mean, this is like pretty scary.

Speaker 2 (00:09):
I think it's probably like one of my worst nightmares
as a parent. So Addie has a tablet and she's
ten years old, and she has recently downloaded this game.
It's like a horse game. So in the game, you
basically tame horses and you collect them. Seems innocent, right,
So I was sitting next to her, this was about

(00:29):
a couple months ago, and she was acting kind of
weird about me seeing what was going on on the screen.
We'll come to find out there's like a chat feature
that I had disabled, but apparently she figured out the
parental code to get into the settings, changed it and
opened up the chat feature. And I was like, you know,
you're chatting with a perfect stranger. You have no idea

(00:50):
who's on the other end of this. And so I
went in and I disabled again. I changed the password
and thought everything was fine. Then over the weekend, I
I was in my closet and Scott came in and
he's like, hey, I just want to know that. I
was like, Addie and Eastern are doing their quiet time.
I passed Addie a couple times, and she seemed like
very weird about me seeing what was going on the screen.

(01:13):
Turns out she reset the profile, which then reset the password,
then opened up the chat again and was chatting with
who knows. So I went in and I'm trying not
to be like hysterical, because what I really want to
say to her is like, that's so batter on the
other hand, and start growing you and like, you know,
like really give her a nightmare. So she gets scared

(01:35):
of this because it's terrifying to me because you do
not know who she's talking to.

Speaker 3 (01:39):
But I like kept my cool.

Speaker 2 (01:41):
I was like, so, can you help me understand why
you would go in and put the chat on when
I already told you this was not acceptable. She's like, well,
there's this girl on here that's really nice and this
is the only way I have to chat with her.
And I said, okay, can I see the chat? She
shows me the chat and it's like it's innocent talk

(02:02):
about the game, but also it's the beginning of the chats,
which is the grooming period, which wouldn't She's like, they're
not asking me my address or personal questions or anything
like that. And I said, well, I appreciate that you're
aware of that. I said, but let me ask you
a question. How do you know that this is a
girl you're speaking with? And she's like, well, her name
is Amber. And I was like, how do you know

(02:24):
her name is Amber? She said, well, I guess I
don't know. And I'm like, okay, let me ask you
another question. How do you know it's a kid on
the other end? And she's like, well, look how they
spell were? And I was like, you don't think adults
misspell words ever, And she's like, I guess they could.
And I said, Addie, I love your innocence so much,

(02:45):
but this is what predators do online. They pretend to
be kids. They pretend to do this, They pretend to
like the things that you like to gain trust in you,
and then eventually may ask you those other things.

Speaker 4 (02:58):
Could it be a kid?

Speaker 1 (02:59):
Sure?

Speaker 2 (03:00):
Would it also be someone very dangerous?

Speaker 3 (03:02):
Yes? Why we disabled this chat feature?

Speaker 2 (03:06):
So so she was like crying and she was like,
she gets she gets like very disappointed in herself because
like she holds herself to a really high standard. And
she was like I'm so stupid, and I'm like, no,
you're not stupid. Was it not a smart decision?

Speaker 3 (03:19):
Yes?

Speaker 1 (03:20):
Now I had to take away her tablet.

Speaker 2 (03:22):
And I'm like, she said, are you going to throw
it away?

Speaker 3 (03:24):
And I'm like, no, I'm not gonna throw away the tablet.
It's a perfectly good tablet.

Speaker 2 (03:29):
But now I'm literally like I told her, I just
have to decide if I'm going to let her play
that game anymore or if I'm deleting it all together.

Speaker 1 (03:37):
You should have somebody here, like, have Nick or somebody
here call her and she'd be like, Hi, is this adding? Yeah, hey,
this is the e I haven't seen on the game
last couple days.

Speaker 3 (03:50):
What's out there?

Speaker 4 (03:51):
It's so scary you totally played it. I would have
flipped out. I totally would.

Speaker 2 (03:55):
But if I flipped out, then she wouldn't show me
the chat.

Speaker 1 (04:02):
Scared. It's so scary because you also think, why is
Amber's mom lett her do.

Speaker 2 (04:07):
That online and do whatever she wants?

Speaker 4 (04:11):
Did Amber tell her how to reset it? Then that's
an adult No.

Speaker 2 (04:15):
No, I don't know who told her that idea, but yeah,
that's where we're at right now.

Speaker 1 (04:19):
Well, let's say how to Rick good morning.

Speaker 3 (04:21):
Rick.

Speaker 1 (04:23):
Hey, all right, you're gonna be our contestant. Nick. What
game we got? Nick and Rick? Nick? Rick and Rich? Okay,
what game we're gonna playing? Nick?

Speaker 5 (04:32):
We're playing real or fake today, guys. I like to
theme my games. What's a good theme?

Speaker 3 (04:40):
Okay? Okay, we did go with Easter. It's Easter theme.

Speaker 5 (04:44):
I've got some Easter traditions here. Some are real and
some are ones that are just made up. Your goal
is to guess which is which. Okay, Rick said, Rick's
ready to all right.

Speaker 3 (04:59):
So here we go.

Speaker 5 (05:01):
We're gonna start off round one with John Jay. John
Jay the Great jelly Bean Toss. At sunrise, Participants line
up in pairs and toss jelly beans into each other's
mouths increasingly ridiculous distances, catching five in a row without dropping.

Speaker 3 (05:16):
And he is said to bring a month full of
sweet surprises.

Speaker 1 (05:21):
I mean that sounds fun and real to me, so
I will say that is real.

Speaker 3 (05:25):
You're gonna go with real? You would be incorrect?

Speaker 5 (05:31):
Yeah, I think now that's that'll be a tradition for
us in here, guys.

Speaker 3 (05:36):
Ricord bunny Suit Parade of Regret.

Speaker 5 (05:41):
After Easter dinner, everyone puts on the most ridiculous bunny
costume they can find and parades through the neighborhood. The
last one to get honked at by a passing car
must host Easter next year.

Speaker 4 (05:54):
That's gotta be real. That sounds very New Jersey.

Speaker 3 (05:56):
Okay, and again you would be incorrect.

Speaker 4 (06:03):
Wow, we're missing out of some great traditions that could
be happening all over.

Speaker 5 (06:07):
No points for John Jay, No points for Rich Peyton.
The bloom basket quest. On Eastern Morning, families hide small
hand woven baskets filled with seasonal flowers instead of eggs.
Each flower represents a different blessing, joy, renewal, love, or luck.
Whoever finds the basket with the rare white tulip gets

(06:29):
to make one spring wish for the year.

Speaker 3 (06:32):
Hmmm, I'm gonna say that's real. Okay, that's a very
good guess and it is correct.

Speaker 5 (06:38):
Jaya. One point for Peyton. Officially on the board Kyle.
The boiled egg whispering ceremony. Each person holds hard boiled
egg to their forehead and whispers for their hopes for
spring into it. The eggs are then buried in the
backyard to hatch the dreams.

Speaker 3 (06:59):
Though the smell in a week suggests otherwise.

Speaker 2 (07:03):
Oh, why would anyone do that. That's a bad idea.

Speaker 3 (07:06):
So I'm gonna say say fake. One for Kyle, one
point for Kyle, one point for.

Speaker 5 (07:18):
Peyton Rick the carrot crown ceremony after the egg hunt,
children gather leftover carrots and weave them into playful crowns
with vines and ribbons or grass. The child with the
most creative crown is dubbed the spring Monarch and gets
to choose the day's activities, usually something chaotic like egg

(07:39):
toss dodgeball.

Speaker 4 (07:44):
I don't it sounds fake?

Speaker 3 (07:45):
It sounds fake, it does, but in fact it's real.

Speaker 2 (07:51):
I feel like we need to see more carrot crowns
on social media.

Speaker 4 (07:55):
Isn't real, but the carrot thing is people the rich.

Speaker 1 (08:00):
But you do.

Speaker 3 (08:02):
Round two.

Speaker 5 (08:04):
The only people on the board are the ladies in
the room. We'll kick things off with John Jay. How
about the peep Stacking Championship John Jay? Contestants compete to
see who can stack the most marshmallow peeps into a
single tower before gravity or ants bring it down. The
current world record forty three peeps and a sugar induced blackout.

Speaker 1 (08:26):
I mean that seems real to me. Didn't we do
a peep eating contest in here?

Speaker 5 (08:35):
Okay, that's a very good guess. You had a fifty
to fifty chance and you got it wrong. So sorry,
John Jay Rich. The midnight carrot offering children.

Speaker 4 (08:46):
Leaves just some.

Speaker 3 (08:47):
I'm so sorry.

Speaker 5 (08:48):
Children leave carrots on their windowsills the night before Easter,
hoping the shadow hare will visit. If the carrot has
gone in the morning, the hair has blessed their garden.
If it's still there, someone's been naughty.

Speaker 4 (09:01):
Interesting. The carrot thing seems like it's got Easter origins,
so I'm gonna go with that.

Speaker 5 (09:07):
It's one hundred percent all right, good guess Rich, it's
not it.

Speaker 1 (09:11):
Is you suck.

Speaker 4 (09:15):
I don't know my Eastern goose eggs.

Speaker 3 (09:17):
For John Jay and Rich.

Speaker 5 (09:18):
Today we'll move on to Peyton, the lantern of the
Long Hair. On Easter Eve, a lantern is lit with
a candle in the shape of a rabbit.

Speaker 3 (09:27):
It's placed in a window.

Speaker 5 (09:29):
It's placed in a window to guide the mythical Long Hair,
a forest spirit, to bring clarity.

Speaker 3 (09:33):
And renewal in the morning.

Speaker 5 (09:36):
If the candle's wax is dripped in a perfect circle,
it means the year ahead will be filled with harmony.

Speaker 3 (09:42):
I'm gonna say real or fake, Peyton.

Speaker 5 (09:45):
You know, I don't think people really play with like
their luck and stuff like that, so I'm gonna go
with that's real, Okay, something someone would do for the
first time ever. Peyton has two points in my taking
a commanding lead, Kyle. How about the the Resurrection Relay Race,
a mix between an egg and spoon race and interpretive dance.

(10:07):
Teams must resurrect a fallen chocolate bunny by carrying its
broken pieces across the field and reassembling it with frosting glue,
all dressed as Roman centurions.

Speaker 2 (10:19):
Wow, that is that game takes a lot of planning.
I'm going to say fake.

Speaker 3 (10:25):
Okay, two points for coming.

Speaker 4 (10:28):
You guys are good.

Speaker 3 (10:29):
Knock out Rick.

Speaker 5 (10:31):
You're gonna go see eighties if if you can get
this right here.

Speaker 1 (10:35):
That's how you say it eighties eighties eighties.

Speaker 3 (10:40):
I was like, wait a minute, is it at ease?
And then I had to go look it up.

Speaker 1 (10:44):
Is it eighties music or is it military music?

Speaker 5 (10:47):
It is?

Speaker 1 (10:47):
Are okay?

Speaker 4 (10:50):
Be careful?

Speaker 3 (10:51):
So we're gonna back up.

Speaker 1 (10:52):
Yeah, I don't know people coming out to me.

Speaker 5 (10:55):
Careful, go down that Road Rick Rick save us eggshell messages.

Speaker 3 (11:02):
In the weeks leading up to Easter.

Speaker 5 (11:03):
Family members write little notes, jokes, wishes, are confessions and
slipped them into carefully cracked and cleaned out eggshells. These
message eggs are painted, hidden and open during Easter Brunch, revealing.

Speaker 3 (11:17):
Heartfelt or hilarious surprises.

Speaker 4 (11:21):
Oh, I'm gonna go with real Rick Wits again.

Speaker 5 (11:26):
All right, Rick, you're gonna go see eighties eighties eighties,
