Ep. 1: Talking Ninjago, NFL and life lessons

September 18, 2015 by ryan wilson

On the very first Our Monkeys, My Circus Podcast, I'm joined by the eight-year-old, who promptly calls it "Monkey Hour" -- which, honestly, might be a more apt description.

Either way, I thought it would be fun to ask him about things going on his his life (all Ninjago-related, by the way) and get his thoughts about things going on in my life (mostly work-related). Basically, sit across from each other and talk since we don't do that nearly enough.

We covered everything from Ninjago vs. Star Wars, the eight-year-old's guess at what I do for a living (he wasn't really close), what it's like to be a big brother, and the one time he outsmarted his old man. 

And even though I write about the NFL for a living, the eight-year-old has zero interest in football, or sports in general. That's fine by me. And in fact, it worked out perfectly when I read him some of the biggest NFL headlines of the week to get his take. The topics: Johnny Manziel vs. Merril Hoge, Gronk, Rex Ryan vs. the Patriots, Old Man Peyton Manning, and Jason Pierre-Paul vs. fireworks.
