I come back to this clip every few months, and the quiet simple "embrace life" Alan gives here. There's nothing really revolutionary in the almost-three minutes, but the surety of Alan's perspective is what I focus on. With Joel and his company, Alan and his band, I can imagine the distractions they might experience from parenthood. Me? I'm a more regular type of parent, a bit more mundane in my daily life. But the universal part of the plea here is not "spend time with your kids" but "be active about how you spend time with your kids". And for that, it's a deep and meaningful piece of advice. Thanks Joel and Alan. And a quiet thank you to Mimi, whose passing I just learned of. Makes this advice a bit more poignant.
I have an almost 5 month old and work with kids (and their family's) who have been in trouble/incarcerated. I had to take the headphones off part way through this video and pay attention to my son based on being reminded of what is important from this video. Good stuff.....thanks for sharing!
Alan´s advice is spot on, I don´t get why my kid is mad at me now , just because I woke him up at 3AM to play with me
🤣👍

As a father to a 15 month old - this is great advice. Thank you Joel and Alan. Thanks for the “dadvice”
Thank you for sharing this - as a pediatrician for 25 years, I'd echo everything he said. He just made it sound so much cooler ;-)
It's like something we all know, but forget from time to time, so need to be reminded... Cheers Alan and Joel
Low rules!! I saw them in Austin, Tx. back in the 90s right after “Long Divison” came out!! Amazing show!!

Great advice. I have an 18 year old. Time flies.
Thank you, Alan. Thank you, Joel. This is the reminder I need right now.
Wise words. Mine are turning fifteen and eighteen, and those early years feel like they flew past in the blink of an eye.
Where is the rest of the interview?
So true. Good reminder. Thank you so much, guys. ❤️
Needed this. Thank you!
Wise words from Al.
Good reminder here!
Best kids review ever
CBA and Low?! Same time!? (wide-eyed)
I love his voice 😎
