Public Disclosure - How Much is too Much? Transcript:  Jack Butala:                       Jack and Jill here. Jill DeWit:                           Hi. Jack Butala:                       Welcome to the show today. Welcome to the Jack and Jill Show today. I'm Jack Butala. Jill DeWit:                           And I'm Jill DeWit, broadcasting this week from sunny southern California where these beach kids have no idea what the real world is like. Jack Butala:                       That's for sure. Jill DeWit:                           Have you noticed? I was just looking in our neighborhood. We live on what's called a walk street, and what that means is there's ... Between the houses you can't drive a car down. It's just like one big nice sidewalk, and it's great. So, I'm watching the kids. There's basketball hoops and there's chalk drawings and they're- Jack Butala:                       People walking- Jill DeWit:                           They're running back and forth from house to house, and then they go jump in the water and they come back. And I'm looking at them going you guys have no idea how good you have it. Jack Butala:                       People walk in front of our house all day long, to and from the beach, with no clothes on at all. Jill DeWit:                           Yeah, that's true, too. Jack Butala:                       And about 30% of them should put some clothes on. Jill DeWit:                           That's true. There's a few that I actually appreciate by the way, because right at the end of our little street here, which is like three doors, and then there's sand and then there's a volleyball court right there and then there's the water. I personally do not mind the rather buff gentlemen that walk by all day long with their bags full of volleyballs because they've been out practicing all day. Jack Butala:                       The Olympic female volleyball team, I'm not exaggerating, practices 200 yards from our house. Jill DeWit:                           Yeah. Kerri Walsh is out there sometimes. So, yeah that's pretty ... Jack Butala:                       I'll leave all you male listeners [crosstalk 00:01:41] Jill DeWit:                           That's part of the 30% that you approve of, too, right, Jack? Jack Butala:                       No I approve of 70%. Jill DeWit:                           Oh, you approve of 70%? Oh. I thought you approved of 30, not 70. Jack Butala:                       For the record, I'm part of the 30% who should not do that. Jill DeWit:                           Oh, got it. Jack Butala:                       So, I don't. Jill DeWit:                           I understand. Thank you, Jack. That's really good. Jack Butala:                       No, no joke, Jill. These beach kids ... And I don't know if it's a good thing or a bad thing. I don't think you need to grow up in Communist Russia to be good at buying and selling real estate, but there is a happy medium somewhere. You have to have responsibility and accountability. Jill DeWit:                           Correct. Jack Butala:                       Unless you're a female. Jill DeWit:                           I've always wanted our children to not worry in life, and I think that's what every parent wants. You want a child to grow up secure, feeling safe, feeling comfortable, feeling like they never have to worry about food on the table, where they're going to sleep. You want children to be children and have a happy life. What we don't want is them to be is have that artificial view of life thinking that's how everything is, because it's not. Not everybody has it that good. Jack Butala:                       We don't want them to be unaccountable. Jill DeWit:                           Right, and I want them to appreciate. Jack Butala:                       Children need to be accountable for something.
