The family often listens to music together and the kids enjoy dancing and singing to songs.  Although Marc is not a fan of most music that can be found on the radio or music kids find appealing, he of course thinks it is enjoyable to watch his kids sing and dance.  \u201cAlthough the music is not my thing, I definitely enjoy watching the kids dance around,\u201d said Ortner.  \u201cThey have some really good moves, and it typically distracts me from the crappy music.\u201d  The music they listen to is typically a Disney station or the popular collection, \u2018Kidz Bop.\u2019  The only time Ortner listens to the kid-friendly music is when he is at home with the kids, or driving with the kids in the car.\n<!--more-->\nOn a recent occasion, Ortner was driving around running some errands.  He was spacing off, singing along to the radio, enjoying some of the rare time he gets to himself.  None of this was unusual for Ortner.  What was unusual was that the music he was listening to was the same music he had playing when his kids had recently been in the car.  Without knowing it, Ortner had forgotten to change the playlist, and found he was singing along to \u2018Kidz Bop\u2019 songs.  It was definitely a low point in his life.  \u201cIt wasn\u2019t like I just turned the car on, sang for two seconds, and changed the tunes,\u201d said Ortner.  \u201cI was driving around for at least 10 minutes, and didn\u2019t have a problem with the music at all.  Does that mean I actually like that music?  Am I really that uncool now?  I really don\u2019t know who I am anymore.\u201d  Ortner says to avoid future personal embarrassment, he is going to try to make sure he switches the playlist at the end of a trip with the kids while they are in the car.  \u201cI mean, imagine if the windows were down.  Maybe I am just going through a funk right now.  I\u2019m going to go listen to some Modest Mouse to make myself feel cool again.\u201d\n]]>\t\t<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\t\t\t\t<![CDATA[]]>\t\t<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_coblocks_attr":"","_coblocks_dimensions":"","_coblocks_responsive_height":"","_coblocks_accordion_ie_support":"","_genesis_hide_title":false,"_genesis_hide_breadcrumbs":false,"_genesis_hide_singular_image":false,"_genesis_hide_footer_widgets":false,"_genesis_custom_body_class":"","_genesis_custom_post_class":"","_genesis_layout":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[43],"tags":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-6526","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","6":"category-issue-133","7":"entry"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/stapletonion.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6526","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/stapletonion.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/stapletonion.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stapletonion.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stapletonion.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=6526"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/stapletonion.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6526\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/stapletonion.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=6526"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stapletonion.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=6526"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stapletonion.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=6526"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
