I was telling him one time I was concerned about my travel plans. I wasn't sure if I could find the right place, do the right thing, etc. And he just goes, "Why not? Why would you not be able to do that?" I guess you're right. I probably can do it. Yeah. So, I believed in myself and I did it. Yeah. That's good. Welcome back everyone to the Firestone Files. I am not Dr. Firestone. I am Matthew Firestone, his first son. and you are listening to a special episode of the Firestone Files for Dad's 60th birthday, which is this week. What we have for you today is going to be a walk through uh some of our fondest memories of dad. Uh a couple stories I think that exemplify who he is to us and who he's become over the years. And yeah, let's jump right into it. I think we'll start by just introducing ourselves. Um you already know I'm Matt Firestone. I actually produced this show for my dad and I am like the element earth. All right. I am Emma Firestone. I'm the middle child and my element is air. I am Hannah Cow, actually the oldest um and his best hope for grandkids right now. Um otherwise known as Ether. I'm Rebecca and apparently I'm fire. I am Andrew. I'm the youngest and I'm like water. Perfect. If you guys don't quite understand the uh elemental connections there, I would refer you to episode one of the Firestone Files titled the Fire Stones. Um I think the first thing we're going to do here is kind of a warm up. Uh, Emma, what are we about to do? Our first segment is a favorite memory of dad that we each have. Um, does anyone want to kick us off? Great, Becca. Go for it. When dad and I, the two of us, we were in Arkansas. We went out hiking. I don't know if any of you guys know this story, actually, but uh, Dad and I, we were hiking. We were actually doing some like running combination kind of thing. So run a little, walk a little, that kind of thing. Um, and we were some miles from our car and we reached this road and dad was like, "Okay, should we continue on? Should we turn around?" And I was like, "Dad, I I think I hear some thunder. I think I hear I think we should turn around." And in true uh dad fashion, he's like, "No, let's let's just push through." So, we keep going and sure enough, what happens? But it starts to pour rain, like actually pour rain. And we are caught in I guess a flash flood. There's like we're on the side of like a little mountain and there's like rain coming down like like uh flood waters coming down. Um not good. We basically had to run and then he was kind of covering me underneath a tree because there was a bunch of lightning and we had to call grandpa. We had to get cell service and then call grandpa and grandpa said it was the worst storm he had seen in about 10 years that we were having. So this was a survival situation. Yes. I think that this story highlights how dad uh doesn't always think things through fully. Um and kind of follows his heart and just wanting to continue on. Um what I like about that story is although none of us were there, I think all of us can relate in some way. Yes. Yeah. To be in some type of situation like that. Yes. Yes. And then my last story is with all of us in the car at a McDonald's drive-thru. I wrote this one down. Really? Yes. Okay. Do you want to share with us? Is this We're Arkansas. Oh, we're in a a McDonald's drive-thru in Arkansas and it's one of the double lanes and dad pulls a suspicious move. He speeds up to be the first one at the window. It was questionable. My memory is that it was a questionable thing who really had the right of way, but this older gentleman in the other car was visibly furious at us. Yes. For cutting in line. Um, and so on oxygen also and on oxygen. Yes. I think you said that. And at the window, dad decides to ask to pay for the car behind us, which is this gentleman. And as we're driving away, Dad is just um having a laugh as if he pulled off the greatest prank ever. And I think there's a lesson in there somewhere. I think you need to back up the story a little bit more. Dad was doing Yeah. No, no, no. It's a two-lane, right? So, it starts as one lane, then it goes to two, and then it collapses down to one. Dad's at the one lane point and he's chilling there waiting to see which of the two lanes opens up first. So there's space in front of him and this old guy in this like rusty rusty red car breathing oxygen through a nasal candle speeds up in front of him cuz dad's waiting to see which lane opens up and this guy speeds he like cuts three or four people behind us and dad was not having it. So dad puts in the order lightning fast when he gets to that window. He's like, "Kids, you guys got to be ready with your order. We're putting this in." I have zero memory of this. It's the fastest he's ever ordered at a McDonald's. And just in time, cuz this guy starts going and he Dad guns it. Yes. Gets his nose out in front. So this guy can't start pulling out. And he rolls down his window and starts cussing us out on his oxygen sill. Yeah. I didn't. And then dad pays for his food. Yes. Yeah. That was that was an interesting redeems it. Wasn't that Yes. Like when we were like leaving Arkansas like early in the morning. That's why we're all on our It was on the return trip. Like it's like it's like 6 a. m. too. Like Yeah. Yep. It's really early. Everyone's on edge. I do think all of us air on the aggressive driving side thanks to dad. That's true. Much to mom's children. He's a very judgmental co. I have seen him wrap his arm around her and flip some of the bird on the side like, "Oh, honey, like don't." Shocking. That is shocking. Wow. Um Hannah, you'll remember this. When we were really young, like six or seven, dad would run, he called it the big square. All right. Around the neighborhood, which is just like these four main roads around the neighborhood. It's almost exactly 5K. It's like 3. 3 mi or something. He would run it in the summer like every other day roughly um early in the morning and he started taking us on it. We would bike and he would run. Yeah. And eventually uh I started running it with him. Yeah. Um and we would do that every summer. That had great memories. uh the same point every run just over the halfway point where he would start he would say, "All right, Matt, we're going to list the virtues." And then for the next block till we got to that to to the final corner of the run, uh we would just go back and forth listing the virtues, love, justice, perseverance, uh these sorts of things. And was it a particular order or just like as No, no, it was just as And we I mean we hit on the same one like name so many virtues, but it it's uh for me I think it it helped drive home the importance of of the immaterial and the fact that like the realest things like the most important things as we're running out there sucking it especially early early in the summer when we had to run all winter uh listing the virtues uh it was very meaningful I I would just like to concur with that. I had written down on here. He kind of switched it up, I guess, with us. We would go to the Slooh, the forest preserve behind the high school. Um, and we won run that loop once or twice. It's like a mile. Um, but similar like things were at least with me like talked about. I think that's like where we would like he would communicate a lot of like it was a nature was like force preserve and he would like communicate a lot of that immaterial like we're so like we're so lucky to have this life of the body and that's where he would talk about all of like his problems in like his job in philosophy with me and that was just like a really big insight into his life and like into his mind because it would just be like him sharing And yeah, I would bike with him and then eventually like get up to running with him. And the Andrew bench. The Andrew bench. The Andrew bench. There was one bench about four fifths of the way around. Yeah. I would run the full way around with dad. I was I mean I was a bit older than you. I think I was around when I was like 11 and you were like eightish. Mhm. But Andrew would start the first little bit with us. We call it the Andrew bench and then he'd stop and then I'd catch up and catch up later. Yeah. But I think there are a lot of good memories with dad and physical exercise. I think that was a big way that he like I think we can all agree. Yeah. Yes. Yeah. I feel like for me a lot of those conversations happened in the car and I think in particular the thing that I wanted to share is like more personal I think is the oldest. like I got a lot of time alone with dad in a car partially because he was supporting my very short-lived acting career. Yes. Um, he heard he knew I wanted to be an actor and so he heard on the radio that John Kosablanca's was doing auditions for acting and he called them up, got me a slot and I went to brought me over and this place is 60 to 80 minutes away I think roughly. But every week he drove me to acting class and mom did too. Um and then when I did Ann Gables which was like 90 minutes away every Saturday he drove me to rehearsals and just supported that dream and like also had those formative conversations I think just as we were driving. Um so I was really grateful for kind of his dedication to that to a like helping me chase my dreams helping us all. it sounds like learn and grow um really in just the mundane ritual rhythms of life. So yeah, definely I think to close this section, unless anyone has a story they're dying to tell, looking at some of the bullet points I made, that is a theme. It's not one particular big funny meaningful moment, whatever it is. It's the routine and the habit of spending time together that makes the mundane special and he did that very intentionally I think agree. After that our next segment a little bit lighter in tone. Yes, maybe more brief. Andrew, what are we doing? The next section is dad's favorite sayings. He has many favorite sayings. He has a lot of them that just constantly reappear throughout the years that we all know and love and we'd like to share them. Um, I guess I can go first. Um, one of his favorites in recent years as he's gotten older is actually a song. I believe it's Toby Keith. I think it's I ain't as good as I once was, but I was once as good as I ever was. I'm as good once. I'm as good once as I ever was. Should we do a verse? Should we do a chorus? We should go look up the song. It's a good song. But, uh, it's an all right song. It's been It's been dad's theme, I would say, for a couple years now. To himself, you know. I just I went with um misquing Bilbo Baggin's birthday speech every year and I bet by the time this comes out he'll have tried it 100% maybe maybe once or twice and he pulls it out at other occasions too not just his birthday. He just doesn't know like what he he knows the idea, but he's like half of you. Yes, I know you all like can Yeah, I've got Okay, this is along the lines of that, but I didn't know that until many years later. Okay, one thing he said a lot, at least when I was growing up, is that was deliberate. He would drop He would drop something and Oh, that was deliberate every time. That's from Lord of the Rings. Mhm. Yeah. I didn't realize that until I most recently watched. Yeah, it's a given me falling off. That was deliberate. Deliberate. It's a great line. I have another quote. I won't say it. I'll let someone else go. They have it. Interesting. What? Go. Does any Rebecca, please? Really? That is very kind of you. Well, we have the same one. Really? I actually have like eight here. Okay. Well, I guess I'll use this one. Um, going back to our runs in the Slooh with dad, he would repeat the same phrase quite frequently, which is um, the trained athlete will always beat the natural athlete. Okay, I told you. Um, yeah. I don't know. I was just I guess going back to the whole, you know, how important rhythms and habits are. Yeah, I think that that one is it's a big encouragement to not like rest on your laurels no matter how much natural talent you have at something. You like you're not going to achieve excellence at anything without without training. Yeah, that was a great one. Uh, another thing he would say on runs, at least with me, at the end of every run, almost without fail. All right, we're sucking it. All right, the last stretch of the of the big square is like completely in the sun and we've been doing this in the morning. So, the sun is coming up as we're running the last like like 3/4 of a mile, just completely exposed. So, we're like sweating your brains out. Um, and he would always uh when we passed when we were like two blocks out or something, he would say, "Finish strong, Matt. Finish strong." All right. He says that in a lot of context, but in runs, it meant we were going to sprint home. Yes. Wait, I didn't know we had the same. And that was his that was his mantra, you know, finish strong. And he meant it uh in life, in your endeavors in life as well as in running. I really like that one. When we were coming from the other side, from the North Avenue side, we actually when he ran with me, we had a tree that we would race to like the last tree in the tree line. Emma, what was your second quote? It was not as meaningful as that, but after a long day, uh maybe getting home from a grocery run or like a church event and we're all sleepy in the car, he'd yell to the trees. Oh, that's true. Wow, that's a oldie but goodie. Yes. I barely That's like a just a rallying cry to get us in the house. If I were to guess the I would say that's a movie quote as well. I did some research. Really? What is it from? Is it from I perhaps from Robin Hood? Okay. I'm going to guess that's confirmed. Okay. All right. Uh I'm just going to list off a few of my other ones. See if any of these land. Do you have some more? Not not really a speed. I've got one more. Do you want to tell the story before? No, it's not really a good story. No, it's not. Uh, he would sometimes say things would work out in our favor. Sometimes it's better to be lucky than good. Which is true. Which is true. A little bit of luck can go a long way. Uh, he would often say to me, "It's better to look good than to feel good." All right. That's why we're getting ready for church. All right. Didn't want me to be underdressed. I don't agree with that. But okay, I don't think he I that's the irony is I don't think he agrees with that. Yeah. Yeah. He has relaxed very much in that sense, but growing up I like I don't think it was as much for you guys, but always his big thing was like he would make me tuck in my shirt, you know, every morning for church. Interesting. And he was all about like freaking the gig line and then the hair part. There's Matt. It's better look good and feel good or feel good look good. What better to be over something along that lines. Yeah. Uh move with some dispatch. He says that when people are slow being too which is ironic because it's not his greatest skill. But Michael was going to be Michael is going to be coming down the stairs and saying is everybody ready? When he's the latest one every time. We've all been waiting at the door. Drive mom crazy. Okay. Yep. We've all been waiting for 10 minutes. He comes out. Everyone ready? You ready to go? Oh, that's right. Rope a dope. He loves his rodopes. It's a boxing thing, but he would like wind up a fist. He would motorcycle game when he did the motorcycle with us and he would have our hands and he'd go forced you. You have to try to avoid it, but he use your own hand. Your own hand. He would he would warn you though with the wind up in the rope and that was your cue. Okay. Explain this without demonstrating it but I don't think we should do that. Yeah. You know some things are best left to the imagination. That's an inside. Uh all right. Our next segment I think is led by none none other Oh does it conclude any other sayings? Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls monkeys and squirrels. Monkey on to the next segment. That's right. Excellent transition. You should be running this. Uh Hannah, what is our next segment? Yeah. So, I found out I was leading this section a few minutes ago and it is it's quality production, ladies and gentlemen. Yeah, it's so one of the benefits of having five kids is that you can see different aspects of your own personality reflected in each of them. And so we wanted to reflect a little bit on what did each of us inherit from dad and come to a group consensus. So I have the correct answers here. Uh but I'm interested to hear what everyone else has to say. Uh who who should we discuss first? Andrew. Andrew has clearly inherited dad's uh energy and his boldness. Lore has it that Grandma Firestone wished on dad a son like he was to her. Thus we have Andrew. But like dad, he has grown into a fine young gentleman. So that is that is how I see dad and Andrew. I think there's like a I'm down for anything energy that I get from both dad and Andrew. Yes. The ability to kind of have a good time regardless of the situation or who you're with and just make the room a fun place to be and a welcoming place to be for everyone in there. Um I do think that's confidence. I don't know if like internally it's confidence, but externally it comes out as confidence and it's like a great thing to experience as someone who's in the presence. Yeah, I agree. Nice. All right. What What do you What do you think, Drew? Uh I think that all of that is true. I didn't hear anything I disagreed with. Uh, I've heard and looking back at his younger photos as well, possibly I've inherited some of his looks. And I don't know if that's positive or negative. I haven't quite decided yet. His height. Yeah. You're not quite as tall as you. Not quite. Hey, I'm taller than Danny now. That's really cousin. Tallest cousin. Thanks to shout out to Danny. I think also whose room we are filming in right now. That's true. Danny, thank you Danny. Thank you very much. I guess the last thing I might add is um just some of his more silly mannerisms sometimes. Like sometimes sometimes I'll like be with my friends at college and I'll just say something really goofy and realize, oh man, I've heard dad say that like five times before. That's good. and also his ability to drive mom crazy in a negative way. Let's just say. Okay. All right. Zags. Rebecca, I can go first for Zags. Please do. I did. You struggle with this one? I Yes. In my notes myself as well. Oh, I also could not think of anything. What? Whoa. Okay. I would say I'm the most different from dad out of all. I think that could be true, but I think from dad you have um like an inquisitive instinct uh like the curiosity that kind of maybe drove him to the research path. And I also wrote down like don't take anything at face value. Always see what is the deeper meaning. Always see what is the ulterior motivation. Always uh analyze to the next level. uh the going on around you. So that's what I put back. So dad's inquisitiveness. Yeah. I don't know. I don't know if that's quite the right word, but inquisitiveness and uh suspicion. I Yes. A suspicious mind. Yeah. Which is a great song, by the way. Did you have anything to add? You said it was blank. Suspicious mind. Uh no, I have nothing to add. That was beautifully put. Okay. So, that's what I said better myself. I could not think of anything myself. So, yeah. What do you think of the comments? I mean, I guess I I mean, I guess what we're saying here is I would say that's a small part of dad's personality, right? And so, the conclusion is that I'm just not that similar to him. But it's not from mom. It's from dad. What? But it's not from mom. It's from dad. Right. Oh, yeah. Well, not every not every character she's inherited from a parent. That's true. Yeah. Touche. See that? That's that that that's that critical thinking right there. That's also the dad. All right. Emma. Emma. Move. Emma. My turn. Who wants to go first? I said for Emma his creativity. Wow. I think dad is fairly creative. comes up with novel ideas. Yes. And now so does Emma. I agree. I said something slightly different though. I said um the I said uh caring nature and I think mom has this too. But there is something about if uh if dad or Emma know that something's going on in my life, you know, you're kind of getting that nudge, phone call, tiny inquiry on the side of like just thought I'd check in with you type of type of energy. So that's what I I would agree. I think we can both think outside the box. We both care about other people. I think um maybe I would add me not so much as dad, but I think I can be easygoing in a way that he is also going. That's true. Believe that. Yes. Yes. All right, Matthew. Okay. I think you share dad's I wrote the word down entrepreneurial mindset. Based on your current situation, we don't need to talk about all this. I I won't I won't get into specific. You're working on a lot of different things. the podcast. You have a lot of career avenues open to you and it feels like you're interested in working on more than one thing at once. That's very dad coded for sure. Yes, I could see that. I did not think of that, but that Yeah, I was writing a Matthew in a Firestone Files episode when dad was talking about how you just need to take the next step to complete your goal. Perseverance. Yes. Um, I thought the more the older I've gotten, I think the more I've seen from dad and me, uh, his indomitable belief in himself. That man believes I don't think he thinks he could do anything, but I think there's a very broad range of things that he's like, "Yeah, I could do that if I really tried." And I absolutely have that. Maybe to a fault. Yeah, that's something of dad's I I wish I had, but I was telling him one time I was concerned about my travel plans. I wasn't sure if I could find the right place, do the right thing, etc. And he just goes, "Why not? Why would you not be able to do I guess you're right. I probably can do it." Yeah. So, I believed in myself and I did it. Yeah. That's good. That's very good. Bravo. I just need more of that in my dad's facial hair. So, yeah, he's facial hair. Not quite there. Not quite there. All right. What do you guys think about me? I wrote a lot of things for you. I think you're the most similar to that. Yeah. With that? Really? I think it's close between the two of you. I think I think Matthew the more the the more I've spent time with Matthew, the more I see dad and No, I'm just curious. I'm just interested to hear about his take. I think you're the most similar to that. That's my take. Yeah, I think that it's So, you think the three of you are close and then there's a gap and then there's Emma then me, but Oh, interesting. I think you're good with people like he is. And I think that's something Andrew shares too. But I think you more so. Um, and being able to get what you want from people. I think that's extreme. Oh, yeah. I wrote down that's actually exactly what I hold on because that I think is one of dad's Is this the ro? No, this is No, that's a good You need to be able to shrew. Not manipulate. Not I get it. talk to a person and have you know get what you want out of it while still making them feel like you know align align your goals in their mind. You have great leadership. Both of you both have really good leadership skills and I think adaptability to different people and places. I put down traveling as well. You guys both enjoy traveling and can I think the adaptability and people skills are some of dad's I guess strongest characteristics at least from my perspective and I think that's also some of your stronger characteristics and I think that's why I think that you guys are similar. That makes sense. I guess I think like in a group setting you two are very similar. Interesting. Oh, and I haven't I haven't taken that next step to like manipulation yet. So you're just friendly. She's still a nice guy. So far, I'm working, guys. I'm working. Well, to close this uh section, I was going to share something that I think we all have in common with dad or inherited from him, uh which is his competitive nature. Yes. Yeah, it's probably true. It's more it's more dormant in some than others, but it's definitely there for all of us in a strong in a strong way. So, amen. Shall we? Section four. All right. For this section, we're going to be talking about what lessons dad taught us as kids that we intend to pass down to our own kids who happen to be the target audience of this podcast. The Firestone Files, letters to my grandchildren who don't exist. That's true. Not yet. Not yet. Fingers crossed. Um, would anyone like to start or I can open this up? Andrew, I'll start. I'll start. Um, I think dad has his mantra, you know, life of the mind, life of the body, life of the spirit. I think he called it life of the heart in the Firestone Viles episodes. Um uh but I really do think that that's a really cool way of looking at like oneself and one's attributes and especially the immaterial like what his focus on the immaterial like virtues and his focus on the mind and his focus on the spirit. Um I think that is something that I will take away just like all three the life of the body life of the mind and life of the spirit. Uh that's very broad but yeah you guys can focus in on some of those but I think just like the broad overview of like yeah the importance of all of them bal a balance in a person you can't just have one and not have another and that leaves a like a gaping hole in one's person. I said that uh one of the things that I thought I inherited from him was like a a real true belief in my own capability. And not the fact that I could do anything I wanted to right now, but the fact that were I to set my mind to something, I could I could achieve it through the through proper through proper training, through proper uh planning and discipline. I can do anything. I think that's a really powerful lesson he taught me that I want to impart on my kids. one, the efficacy of training, the fact that you do really have control over over who you become and the skills you develop and the experiences that you that you seek. Um, and then that kind of through that that potential that you're able to cultivate in yourself really there's nothing nothing out there that you could imagine that's that's completely completely unachievable for you um in principle like based off who you are. And so I' always when we were kids, uh, he would he would see some other kid doing something and he would be like, "Man, that why couldn't you do that?" Or like you would read about some like the youngest kid ever make it to the to the South Pole. That's right. And we were like, "Matt, why why couldn't you this kid doesn't have anything you don't have?" Yeah. You can turn up and do that. Uh, and I think it's a powerful powerful lesson that I hope to impart on my kids someday. I was going for something that I feel like I've been implementing more recently in my life, which is the idea of shamelessly asking for help from your community. Um, the amount of free labor that we've gotten from the students throughout our lives. I have like memories of like I'm walking by the bathroom and there's some college kid fixing the toilet like it's totally off the hole. Um but I think some of our closest relationships have been formed through this idea of doing of life together and friendships forming in kind of the mundane dayto-day. Um helping each other move and you know um three different friends gave us rides to the airport in the past 6 hours or 12 hours I guess. Um our beloved Noah has been filming this podcast the whole time. Shout out to Noah. Shout out to Noah. Noah Swift. Find them on the instant. But I do really believe I think thanks to mom and dad that letting people into your lives is um something super beneficial and something that I want like my future home and family to also have. That is similar to what I have been reflecting on. Um dad is a very social creature. So turning everything into a group activity. Um but not just you know to have other people there but because of the mentality that if we do it together even mundane tasks or challenging tasks or things you wouldn't otherwise want to do can become an adventure and they can become something special or enriching or result in something really cool and that's something he inspires in others and I think is a valuable perspective to implement. It's interesting you should say that there's a a future episode of the Firestone Files called Taking Young People along for the journey. Ah, look for that. Sometime in February hopefully. It's a great episode. All right, Rebecca. Um, I just find it similar. This is He just likes to have fun. So specifically story that came to mind is surprised this actually hasn't come up yet in our conversations but when mom would go shopping and all of his kids would be in the car. Um he had various things but one of them was we would kind of talk about we'd go back at the store and go dumpster diving but it was a whole ordeal. So, like we would, you know, have different missions and all that kind of stuff. And I guess a lesson would just be have fun in the moments that you have together. Um, obviously like you only have so much time with your kids and we don't get to see them as much these days since we all live out of state. Um, but those times were just so meaningful and impactful. I think kind of ties in what you guys are saying a little too with just like um making the mundane fun. Um and when you're a kid, you really don't know any different. So those trips like behind Jewel Oscar felt the same way as like the fantasy novels that we were reading at the time. It's like wa this is insane. There's shadows there, you know. So yeah, I would say lots of fun and character building in that was my second lesson that I wrote down. It was Go ahead. It was I have to say the same one. Wait. Well, I phrase it differently. It was storytelling. It was teaching and bringing people together through storytelling. At the dinner table, the book of virtues at bedtime when we were dumpster diving, he'd tell Wonderworld stories and the characters would be running alongside the car. He put his hand out and bang on the top and because it was the characters jumping on top of us. Yep. And so the way he used stories to have fun to teach to bring people together was really powerful and something I hope to do. And those were all the lessons we learned. So, it's now 11:47 p. m. Holy goodness. All right, Rebecca, kick us off. Thank you guys so much for joining us on this special 60th celebration of Dad's birthday. Um, we're so glad that we were able to come together and film this for him in secret. So, Dad, happy birthday. We all love you so much and we're so excited to celebrate you.
