00:01:50 - 00:01:57 | Speaker 7:

I saw that you went to a carnival over the weekend. I did. One of those rides on the back of a truck carnivals.

00:01:57 - 00:03:21 | Speaker 8:

Yeah, the old school carnivals, man. It brought back so many memories as a child. My grandmother used to take my cousin, Elena, and Brandy. Shout out to Brandy. She always listens. Shout out to her son, Amir, who's graduating too. Love you, Amir. Graduated 4.6. Crazy. Dang. Crazy. Wow. But we used to go to carnivals all the time. And when I was going on social media yesterday, I saw that there were carnivals. in the area and i went to one in madison heights high school or something like that and it was very nostalgic walking through and i took josiah this is maybe the first time i guess i've taken him to like an actual carnival i think i took him to one when he was super young but now he's of age he can actually ride the rides and have a good time yeah so i take josiah we get out the car we're starting to walk around i'm like wow look at this one this is i used to do this when i was your age or look at this one i remember so and so threw up on this one and look at that one we're doing the whole thing we're getting elephant ears we're getting lemonade and now i'm at the point where i'm like okay it's a carnival let's do what you do at carnivals and ride the rides and josiah doesn't want to ride anything oh the entire time he's like that's final destination that looks like final destination honestly i'm with him but my my thing is i wanted to force him to participate wait did you we got on one ride you forced him i yeah because i don't

00:03:21 - 00:03:30 | Speaker 7:

think forcing is a good thing well he's got anxiety of getting on a ride let's or you're going to give him anxiety of going on a ride is there a such thing as misplaced anxiety i don't

00:03:30 - 00:03:34 | Speaker 5:

know well what was it because when you guys go to like have you ever taken him to cedar point

00:03:34 - 00:03:38 | Speaker 8:

we've never been to cedar point we have been to universal studios and he rides the ride he's been

00:03:38 - 00:03:50 | Speaker 5:

all right so was it these because these carnival rides look a little rickety i think that could have been it that's why i say i'm with him all right all the rides look like they just got out

00:03:50 - 00:04:10 | Speaker 8:

of jail or escaped from jail he's like dad what's that symbol on his neck like never ride that just like you're going but i go through this thing where i like i want him to have these experiences yeah and not just allow him to make these decisions of i'm not going to do this i don't want to do this for some arbitrary reason yeah but that's a good reason to me if he's looking

00:04:10 - 00:04:17 | Speaker 5:

at it going it does not look safe but final destination can't be a reason sure can can i

00:04:17 - 00:04:59 | Speaker 7:

can i tell you that i remember we used to have in our neighborhood the saint mary's fair they don't know i don't think they have it anymore but the saint mary's fair was like that it was that like that times 10 you know what i mean like they had everything there and i'll never forget going there and it was jacob and he all he wanted to do was play the games that literally make you go bankrupt you know i mean like the ones where you go there and you're going to spend probably 200 on you know games yeah and that's all he wanted to do and i'm like we're not coming here just to play games and i was exactly in your shoes and i learned my lesson and i tried to force him into doing it and then i made it like he didn't want to ride any rides anywhere else after that like because I put them on these rides.

00:05:00 - 00:05:12 | Speaker 6:

Like, I remember putting them on the swing ride, and the kid was freaking out. And then that next day or next week or whatever, there was a story somewhere else in the country about, like, the ride actually. People got stuck or a thing. Yeah.

00:05:13 - 00:05:25 | Speaker 2:

Those are the ones that, like, I'm cool if the kids just want to go and, to your point, get an elephant ear, play some games, and maybe get in the potato sack and go down the next slide. Right, right, right.

00:05:25 - 00:05:31 | Speaker 6:

That's about all I'm up for, too. You saw the one in Detroit, right? Well, not that one.

00:05:31 - 00:05:35 | Speaker 2:

I'm not going on that one. I'm talking like the smaller ones. Yeah.

00:05:37 - 00:05:41 | Speaker 6:

No, I couldn't do it. I don't know if I could do it. Why? I couldn't do it. I don't know.

00:05:41 - 00:05:48 | Speaker 7:

That's part of childhood, bro. Going to the carnival, getting on a pirate ship. Going up. You know, I'm not on a pirate ship. Yeah.

00:05:48 - 00:05:59 | Speaker 2:

One that's stationary and that's like built to cement to the ground. Back and forth on the pirate ship. Not one that just went up at midnight last night. Abso-freaking-lutely night. That's the other thing, too.

00:05:59 - 00:06:11 | Speaker 6:

That's the other thing, too, is, like, when those guys leave a place, like, when they leave wherever you were, they go to another town, and it's like, all right, load it up. And you know that there's, like, screws and bolts that are, like, dropping behind the thing.

00:06:11 - 00:06:12 | Speaker 7:

That's not true. It's safe.

00:06:12 - 00:06:13 | Speaker 6:

Go through.

00:06:13 - 00:06:14 | Speaker 7:

Where was that area?

00:06:14 - 00:06:23 | Speaker 6:

It was in Madison Heights. I'm going to go walk through there. I guarantee I'm going to find, like, 25 washers, screws. Not washers. Yeah. What's going on, Erica? Hi. How you doing?

00:06:24 - 00:06:29 | Speaker 5:

Hey, yeah. I just think, Kev, you should take them to Cedar Point. Give them the real experience.

00:06:29 - 00:06:32 | Speaker 7:

Give him the real scare. So do you force him?

00:06:32 - 00:06:33 | Speaker 5:

Those rides have been there forever.

00:06:34 - 00:06:48 | Speaker 7:

But, Erica, do you force? Because that's traumatizing, too. If you take him to Cedar Point and he looks up almost to the point where his neck got a crack in order to see the top of the Millennium Forest, he's not going to want to get on that. Do you force him on it, or how do you do it?

00:06:48 - 00:06:59 | Speaker 5:

No, you don't force him on it. You just take him to the amusement parks that have those rides that are maintained on a monthly or yearly basis. Those go up overnight. Those aren't the safest rides.

00:06:59 - 00:07:15 | Speaker 6:

Erica, this is the thing. I think Kev's idea, though, is he's going to get him on these rides first because this is kind of like his shallow end of the swimming pool, and then he'll eventually take him to Cedar Point. But what if you go all the way to Cedar Point and he won't ride a ride? How pissed are you going to be for that long of a ride?

00:07:17 - 00:07:23 | Speaker 5:

Well, then take him someplace different, like Michigan Adventure. Someplace that's a smaller place, but not like Cedar Point.

00:07:24 - 00:07:36 | Speaker 6:

Is that place still around? Is Michigan Adventure still around today? I think so. I haven't been there in years. What's going on? Thomas, what do you think of this dad moment from Kev that he wants to force Josiah on the rides?

00:07:37 - 00:08:03 | Speaker 1:

Well, you know what? Absolutely no judgment. Because if you ever go to a carnival nowadays, I don't know what it is, but they have the rides that they got out of a pickup truck just sitting in the middle of the parking lot where there's nothing but asphalt underneath you. So if something goes wrong, at least if there's a fuel, you have a chance of surviving. But, no, it's just face cut to concrete. That is true, by the way.

00:08:03 - 00:08:13 | Speaker 6:

He's not wrong. It's like at least put him in a field somewhere where the grass hasn't been mowed in a while, so at least we got a little bit of cushion when you fly off. What's up, Bree? Hi, it's Mojo in the morning.

00:08:14 - 00:08:15 | Speaker 3:

Hi, good morning.

00:08:15 - 00:08:17 | Speaker 6:

Good morning, Bree. What's up?

00:08:18 - 00:08:24 | Speaker 3:

I just wanted to tell Kev, they load these rides on semi-trucks, and you want to trust it?

00:08:24 - 00:08:33 | Speaker 7:

i mean i did it when i was a kid here i am still standing yeah no not gonna do it i'm with the

00:08:33 - 00:08:39 | Speaker 6:

final destination what do you what do you think of the the going in the the fun house or whatever

00:08:39 - 00:08:52 | Speaker 7:

like one of those he wanted to do that i was like that's a waste of time bro really at least just start him in the thing you know no we're not here to come to the fun house like let's get on the pirate ship let's get on the one that goes around in the circle and then reverses that's a childhood

00:08:52 - 00:08:54 | Speaker 2:

that you stand with your back to the back.

00:08:54 - 00:09:06 | Speaker 6:

No, no, that's the one that they threw up on. Do you ever notice that when they do these rides, too, the music is always, like, old metal music, like old rock music? Like, they never really have, like, an updated playlist, you know?

00:09:06 - 00:09:14 | Speaker 7:

Well, the one ride that we went on yesterday, I can't remember the name of it, but it was something musical. They played Die With a Smile. I was like, I don't know if this is the right song to be playing.

00:09:16 - 00:09:20 | Speaker 6:

So it's actually a good song, but it was a bad song. What's up, A&G High?

00:09:20 - 00:09:55 | Speaker 4:

Hi, I agree with Kev. I took my 11-year-old grandson to Cedar Point, and we ended up in Snoopyland all day. If you don't know what Snoopyland is. Yeah, Snoopyland. For a baby ride. So you should take them somewhere. I don't care if it's the water park. Let them go down them giant slides, tour the world. But don't waste the time or the money, because I wanted to ride, and like I said, I ended up on Snoopyland.

00:09:55 - 00:10:00 | Speaker 6:

How do you like it that grandmas are more willing to go on these rides than you?

00:10:00 - 00:10:02 | Speaker 7:

your grandkids are willing to go on these rides?

00:10:02 - 00:10:06 | Speaker 10:

Or J.B., that C.J. Barrymore.

00:10:06 - 00:10:06 | Speaker 7:

Yeah.

00:10:06 - 00:10:12 | Speaker 10:

I want to go ziplining, and none of my kids want to go with me. I ain't ziplining. I want a zipline.

00:10:12 - 00:10:17 | Speaker 7:

But do you understand, though? Our parents let us juggle knives when we were kids. You know what I mean?

00:10:17 - 00:10:22 | Speaker 9:

Those C.J. Barrymore, that zipline stays there all year.

00:10:23 - 00:10:29 | Speaker 7:

These kids, we've put them in bubble wrap their entire lives. That's why they don't want to be on these things. What's up, Pam? Hi.

00:10:30 - 00:10:46 | Speaker 10:

hey good morning um my comment is i used to travel with the carnival i did that for 12 years and the rides are inspected every single week that they go up by the state department okay

00:10:46 - 00:10:52 | Speaker 7:

quick question for you you used to travel with the carnival let's do a teeth check how many teeth do

00:10:52 - 00:11:05 | Speaker 10:

we have i have all of my teeth thank you very much how did that that's why you used to you're not allowed to go anymore no no there's a lot of money to be made at the carnival oh really

00:11:05 - 00:11:18 | Speaker 7:

come on oh my gosh you have no idea why do the guys why do the guys at the carnival always look like the guys that have like one eye and you know they're missing a limb you know that's people like

00:11:18 - 00:11:24 | Speaker 10:

that are everywhere it's just that some of these people are condensed into one area any questions

00:11:24 - 00:11:45 | Speaker 7:

get a bad rap do we have do we have any fears that these guys are you know meeting you know younger girls at these things you gotta relax no not really no they're not okay because i always wondered like i always be like i had a daughter i'd keep her away from the carnival areas but uh hold on a second nicole what's going on nicole good morning good morning

00:11:45 - 00:12:01 | Speaker 8:

so i was just gonna call in and let you guys know so years ago i was a kid um and we went a carnival up north and the kiddo fell off the ferris wheel and landed right on the cement so

00:12:01 - 00:12:12 | Speaker 9:

ever since then never ever carnival ride ever again oh my god honestly i will never go on a ferris wheel anymore for this story heck no yeah how did you fall off did the door open were you

00:12:12 - 00:12:23 | Speaker 8:

playing around like what was the reason well the kid the kid was rocking it was a teenager he thought It was so funny. He was sitting there rocking in it as it was stopped, and he fell right out. Oh, jeez.

00:12:24 - 00:12:26 | Speaker 6:

That's user error. That's not the carny fault.

00:12:27 - 00:12:31 | Speaker 8:

It's a little billy. I'll go to Cedar Point, though, but not any carnivals anymore.

00:12:31 - 00:12:36 | Speaker 7:

Yeah. That kid deserved it. It's a kid swaying and rocking. Any of those kids that are rocking that thing.

00:12:36 - 00:12:49 | Speaker 9:

That's why I won't go on it anymore, by the way, because somebody that I went on it with when I was younger did that, and we got stuck this way on our back. And I will never do a Ferris wheel ever again I'm terrified

00:12:49 - 00:13:10 | Speaker 7:

It's supposed to be the most romantic place that you could be In the entire thing You won't even go I'm telling you I'd rather do the Ferris wheel Than the potato sack going down the slide thing Those kids man For me I'm fine on it Because I'm staying on it Gravity's keeping me on that thing Shannon is going to be bouncing right off
