Chapter 1: What embarrassing things does Jase do for his foster kid?
I am unashamed. What about you? Welcome back to Unashamed. Nothing's really changed for us, Jace. We're still where we were five minutes ago.
Jace is still selling Tupperware. He still does Tupperware. Is there any deal on those behind you, Jace? Buy one, get one free?
Yeah. I told y'all I'm just visiting. I'm not sure what part of this. The producer, Matty, said, sit there. And I looked behind me and thought. But I know how Si is, I'm sure, because I do this. He has a childlike spirit. Because this is what I spend a lot of time doing with toddlers, grandkids, and the little man that we get to keep. We build towers like this. And that's the good thing about Si.
He's always had. I'm positive Si built that. Now, how they got him to not tear it all down.
That's to say it's not destroyed, so I don't know how it was destroyed.
Yeah, because that's the next step. I mean, you build it. I mean, I did it as a kid. I did it yesterday with a little man. We call it a Mickey castle. For some reason, he likes Mickey Mouse. I didn't get that started. But we'll take all these cups and we'll build a tower just like that. And then they'll put these little, they're like little figurines of Donald Duck and all this stuff.
And as soon as it's all built, he just goes, wow. And then guess what the next words are? Let's build the Mickey. I mean, it was like, you do the whole process.
No, Zach, Zach, you did a sermon illustration one time. I never forgot about your kids. One of them, one of your kids took all this time to build this beautiful Lego village and,
you know hours and hours to build it and then one of your other kids came in and destroyed it in 30 seconds and your point was it's a it takes a lot more time and energy to build something than to destroy it ain't that the truth that's why i don't have a lot of i don't get like if you want to get online and like blast everything i'm like well yeah i get in line it's easy i mean you can pick apart anything but it's difficult and saying that with church by the way you build a church and it's easy to come in and critique and destroy and deconstruct it's a lot more difficult

Chapter 2: How does playing with toddlers affect adult behavior?
So now he is obsessed with being a firefighter. So my wife got these little outfits, and it's got a little fire helmet, and you wear the jacket. But then he gives, it's a whole, I mean, this is embarrassing. I'm being real vulnerable here. Because the first thing he does when he wakes up is he gets that fire helmet, puts it on, puts his jacket, and he's like, I'm a firefighter.
But then he gives us the costumes for us to wear. And, of course, my wife did it, and I thought, oh, here we go. So he struggled because there's kind of a safari one, which is what I wanted, you know. But he came and handed me a shelf hat and they got a little spatula. Spatula. Come on, man. Spatula. Spatula. Well, I don't even know. I call it an egg turner, but I was trying to. Yeah.
I think Missy corrected me on that, too. I was like, hand me that spatula. And she's like, spatula. And I was like, babe, at this point, we're playing a kid game with a two and a half year old. Does it really matter? And so.
Egg turner. I hadn't heard that one in a while. That's what I call it. Egg turner.
And well, Missy's like, well, what if you're not turning eggs? I'm like, but that's what it is. It's an egg turner. Yeah. So then she gets the doctor's outfit, which actually is functional. I mean, this whole guard, you know, costs five bucks probably. And you have the stethoscope and, you know, she has the little, and so then, but then he'll change our outfits, but he's always the firefighter.
So anyway, I told you all that to say, Missy found this little fire truck. You know how they have the, the motor operated man.
you know a little little toddler can get in and everyone we bought for our kids lasted about 30 minutes yeah and then it was you know you sold it for scraps to somebody else but now it's been so long technology i mean because missy bought that i was like i cannot believe you bought this and uh she said well it's no big deal and she got the box out i mean the thing wade 50 pounds.

Chapter 3: What lesson does Zach share about building and destroying?
I mean, so he, this is one that he gets inside of.
He gets inside of it. And I thought this was a terrible idea. I was griping the whole time. Cause I said, babe, you know, I'm not good at that. She said, it never occurred to me that you were going to put this together. She said, I'll put it together. She's like, it's 30 minutes. Well, three hours later, I looked down at the drive shaft on this thing, and it's hanging on the floor.
And I didn't say a word. And so when she got it all finished, she's like, this thing won't work. And I was like, well, it could be because the drive shaft is...
dragging the floor and she was like oh i didn't put that on the sides where the wheels could be turned and so she had to take it apart again and what you think well why didn't you do it i could not have done a better job i'm terrible with this kind of stuff and we already know we're at peace with that but i'm really good at looking when something goes wrong and saying this you need to fix that because that won't work
So that's how we did it. And look, tempers were never raised.
You're called a consultant. That's what consultants do.
I'm a consultant. That's what it is.
Yeah, they come in. They tell you what you're doing wrong. Yeah. Somebody told me one time, if I could just get access to your entire business, I could critique. I could probably tell you where you are going wrong. I was like, I know where we're going wrong. That ain't the problem. The problem is I didn't know how to go right. How do we fix it?
Yeah, so we got it done, and I thought he was just going to get in it because I was nervous about it. I was like, this is just a bad idea. There's a reason two-and-a-half-year-olds shouldn't be driving. But then she handed me a remote control, and I was like, what is this new development?
