I have something to ask you, Okay. I saw this
on social media and I just want to talk about
This is not political, this is not me. I am
famously a childless person, so I don't want to make
(01:25):
it sound like I am the law on this, but
I have an opinion.
Speaker 2 (01:29):
Is that okay? Is it okay for me to have
an opinion on something I'm not an expert on?
Speaker 3 (01:32):
You know what I tell you. If your name's on
the show, people are actually listening for that, so you
go ahead. Sometimes I'm not so sure.
Speaker 1 (01:42):
I had a couple of friends come from Omaha to
the Iway Safer to hang out with me and the
wife the last couple of days.
Speaker 2 (01:48):
They have what I believe to be a two year
old two three ish three ish three or something like that, right,
like young todd young toddler.
Speaker 1 (01:56):
Right, that's a toddler age right, like able to walk
und she's gone through a few different phases of just
kind of like behavioral stuff because I hung a hang
out with these people a lot, even before the kid,
and you know, it's interesting to see kind of what
the dynamic is and how they parent. Like my sister
is the person I've seen the most parenting from, and
I think that's fair. Probably she has three children. I've
(02:18):
watched them all kind of grow up, and they're all
a little different, right, and the way that they hit
those milestones, I think that's what they call them. And
there's just moments where there's just like an immediate breakdown,
like like everything's just fine, and then one second something
changes in pow. I mean for the next ten to
fifteen minutes at least, you're kind of battling the mood
(02:38):
of this child. And the child doesn't have the ability
to properly communicate their feelings through words, so they kind
of do it behaviorally and in a lot of ways,
it's you know, a cry or a scream or.
Speaker 2 (02:52):
You know, a grunt or something. You know.
Speaker 1 (02:55):
I the Balloon Balloon crew, there were one of the
people that we were with as a couple that was
on our crew and they have two small children. It's
interesting to see how they kind of handle that, because
again I'm not around kids like that. I'm not and
you know, it's just interesting how quickly that stuff can flip.
So I don't know, I like, I'm talking to myself
(03:18):
in these moments, in these scenarios because I'm not ruling
out of her having a kim My wife is just
turned thirty one, so I mean, you know, I feel
like we have a little bit of time if we
wanted to have children and whatnot. But you kind of
you know, what do they call it, Monday morning quarterback
watching parents?
Speaker 2 (03:33):
Have you ever done that?
Speaker 4 (03:33):
Matt?
Speaker 1 (03:34):
Just kind of like seeing like but people are doing
with their families or whatever, and you're just kind of
like or their dog. Like that's something for me too.
It's just like I might have handled that one a
little differently, but you just kind of think about that
in your head, like, well I would have done differently, right, Yeah, a.
Speaker 2 (03:46):
Little bit of a back seat driver kind of situation. Yeah,
that's better. That's better backseat driver, right.
Speaker 1 (03:50):
And I'm not telling anybody how to do this, it's
just me observing and like, Okay, so what I do
in that scenario, how would I feel in that scenario,
that kind of thing, you know what I mean.
Speaker 2 (03:58):
I feel like that's harmless. I'm not telling anybody what.
Speaker 1 (04:00):
To do, and I'm not trying to tell anybody what
to do right now, because everybody has their own thing,
and everybody knows their kid better than I'd ever know.
I just know what I'm observing, right, And it's a
little different when you have a screaming toddler at the
Iowa State Fair because it's a pretty loud place. There's
a lot going on, all right, There's a lot of
stimulating things going on. People aren't gonna generally sit there
(04:22):
and notice that there's a screaming kid unless you're like
kind of trapped next to each other for an extended
period of time, which is generally not what happens when
an open area on the fairgrounds.
Speaker 2 (04:30):
I saw this, however.
Speaker 1 (04:32):
Today on social media there's a guy named Jake Malassic
who I think he's a social media guy. I think
he worked like with the barstool guys. But he posted
on his x account, baby on my flight is putting
up a generational screaming session. Gotta honestly tip my cap,
and then he posted a fifteen second clip I am
(04:53):
not gonna play it, or should I play it?
Speaker 2 (04:54):
Should I play it? I think people probably get the gist.
Speaker 3 (04:57):
I think we've all been in a situation like that either,
but you know, with being related to or being in
that situation.
Speaker 2 (05:04):
Sure, okay, so I don't need to play it all right,
Well I listened to it. It's really loud.
Speaker 1 (05:07):
It's really loud, and you're on a plane, and I
don't know how far his flight is, but he's on
a plane and you can't go anywhere, and already tintons
are high. We've seen a lot of crazy things from
adults on planes, right, Remember was it last year?
Speaker 2 (05:20):
It was a girl like you know that bleeberty bleep
is not real? Remember that one? That's a classic. That's
a classic.
Speaker 1 (05:28):
People you know planes are you know, it's an unsand
settling thing for a lot of people, right, And I
couldn't imagine it. Sounds like basically a newborn or six
months or younger has got to be the screen. These
are not just like like, these are not screams of
a notable aware individual. This is this is definitely like
a baby baby. What is an appropriate reaction? Like there's
(05:52):
nothing anybody can do, but is it okay for me
to be incredibly annoyed sitting there with a screaming child
the couple of seats behind me on this plane, and
all you can hear is just this baby screaming, bloody murder.
Speaker 3 (06:04):
Yeah, it's no fun. Just uh, I don't know. Sound
cancelating headphones?
Speaker 2 (06:09):
You know you say cancelating? Did I say cancelating? I
think you did? Is that not a word? I don't
think so. I think somebody somebody look up there at
Webster don't don't don't don't do that. Cancelating headphones? What
is it? What is the real word canceling? Canceling? Yeah?
See I made it. I made it more. Uh uh,
I made it smarter, you George W. Bush did? Yeah
(06:30):
I did. That's right. You added a couple syllables in there. Yeah. No, okay,
But I like, what what do you do? All right?
Speaker 1 (06:37):
Like, I don't know, I'm not a parent. Is there
anything that somebody could do? Have you witnessed anybody being
able to like handle that situation properly or you just
kind of have to let the baby cry it out?
Speaker 4 (06:46):
Uh?
Speaker 3 (06:47):
There's an episode of the Office where Dwight Shrewd has
a has a pretty shrewd, a pretty shrewd move.
Speaker 2 (06:52):
What does he do? I don't know.
Speaker 3 (06:54):
He like he like walks the baby and some old
family trick or something. And people who haven't seen the
office are just like, what is this weird guy talking about?
Speaker 2 (07:03):
But I feel like they're saying that most of the time.
Speaker 3 (07:06):
That most of the time when I talk about cancelating things.
Speaker 2 (07:14):
You know what, I'm cancelated. That's what I feel like
right now, cancelate culture. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (07:19):
Yeah, So you don't know what he did. Did he
hold the baby upside down? Did he like spank it?
Speaker 2 (07:24):
I think he just well and talked to the baby.
Speaker 3 (07:28):
And the joke on the show is that he knew
some sort of like age old technique and it worked
or something.
Speaker 1 (07:35):
But we don't know what the technique is, right, because
if we did, everybody do it right. Yeah, And I
guess every baby is an individual and they're different. If
you've had an experience like this, and I generally I've
been on a lot of flights, I haven't really had
that moment of just like supreme annoys on a plane.
I feel like I would get very impatient, very quickly
in that scenario, even though I know no one can
(07:58):
really do anything about this. There's not a cry room
in the airplane. There's not like an easy way, and
I'm sure it's just devastating for the parents to be
dealing with that right where the baby is just screaming
bloody murder and you cannot get like, you can't resolve it. It
just kind of has to like if this was in
your house or your car or something, you just have
to let him cry it out.
Speaker 2 (08:18):
Now, if you know a.
Speaker 1 (08:19):
Trick to that, or if you have had an experience
like that or witness somebody not handling that, well, I'd
love to know what the resolution to that was, because
this video specifically, I see a ton of comments of people.
Most of them are saying they feel terrible for the parents,
because you know, the parents are probably mortified that this
is happening, and everybody's probably just like looking back at
them and you know, making the stinky or whatever, like geez,
(08:41):
could you do something with that kid? But you know,
I just don't know what the options are to do that.
And if you have had experience with a kid in
that scenario and it was your child and you were
able to you know, overcome that or try to figure
out what happened. Maybe that'd be something that we could
all be a little educated on. So feel free to
call us if you got an anecdote about that at
four the two, five to five, eight to eleven ten,
(09:01):
four h two five five eight eleven ten. Let me
know what your experiences have been on news radio eleven
ten KFAB.
Speaker 2 (09:07):
And raised songer on news radio eleven ten KFAB.
Speaker 1 (09:13):
Whether you've been the parent and you had no choice,
or whether you've been on a plane nearby how it
was resolved, Any tips, tricks or anecdotes, totally open to it.
Four oh two, five five, eight eleven ten is the number,
and Barbara's on the line. Barbara, thanks for the call today.
What's on your mind?
Speaker 5 (09:29):
Oh?
Speaker 4 (09:30):
Hi, are you there?
Speaker 2 (09:31):
Yes, ma'am?
Speaker 4 (09:32):
Okay, Well, I have been in that situation, I'm sure
as other people. I was telling a friend about it,
and she said that she was on a flight and
that happened to her, and the flight attendant came back
with two warm horseh cloths and put it behind the
baby's ear, because you know, they're still developing their hearing
(09:54):
and the altitude they're really sensitive to that to their ears. Sure,
and so and the baby calmed down right away? Really, yeah,
right away?
Speaker 2 (10:02):
Warm washcloths.
Speaker 4 (10:05):
Behind each year.
Speaker 1 (10:07):
Interesting now, now, Barbara, we talk about that and they
might have calmed down in that sort of situation.
Speaker 2 (10:12):
I totally get it.
Speaker 1 (10:13):
It's an uncomfortable feeling, especially when you're that age of
your ears popping. I'm sure it would get the best
of even a toddler or a kid that's, you know,
knocking nine or ten years old.
Speaker 2 (10:21):
But is there how safe is it even to be.
Speaker 1 (10:25):
Carrying a newborn or a baby that's under the age
of one onto an airplane?
Speaker 4 (10:30):
Is that?
Speaker 2 (10:31):
Is that any weird to you? Or you know, you
kind of have to do what you have to do.
Speaker 4 (10:34):
It does, it does, But I mean there are circumstances
that can't be helped, you know, emergencies and so on
and so forth, and just sure, yeah, yeah, I'm hearing that, Barbara.
Speaker 1 (10:46):
Yeah, I mean, I mean, if I could choose not
to do it, I probably wouldn't. But I can tell
you this, that washcloths behind the ear trick. I think
we all are going to write that one down for
the next time we might need help on an airplane.
Speaker 2 (10:56):
And thanks for the call, Barbara.
Speaker 4 (10:58):
If it's a young baby, You're welcome have a dating.
Speaker 1 (11:01):
Yeah, you too, Thank you so much. We have Rob
on the phone line of four h two five, five,
eight eleven ten. Rob, what you got for me?
Speaker 5 (11:07):
Hey, I'd be the there bad news person. But sometimes
you just got to write it out. She took the
words right out of the mouth. Most of the time,
it's just gear pressure and altitude and when those twos
can buy because like she said, they're not fully developed.
And the ear drum, it's just it's just it's just
the pain you get. You can't imagine so now, and
I just have to turn it out.
Speaker 2 (11:29):
Yeah, and I hear that.
Speaker 1 (11:30):
I suppose I'll ask you the same question I asked her,
though it is it a weird feeling took for me
to feel like maybe it's not the best idea to
take such a young newborn onto a flight in that scenario.
Speaker 5 (11:42):
Yeah, if at me, I'd at least wait about a
year maybe two. That way they get all their stuff
functioning and stuff properly. But my wife, she's third forty
one now, but we went on Vegas trip in nineteen
before COVID and she had she didn't know it, so
she went on the airplane. But she had in her
(12:04):
ear problems up in the airplane too, not going up
but coming back down.
Speaker 2 (12:08):
So yeah, it's interesting.
Speaker 1 (12:10):
And that's a little elevated vegas is too, so it
doesn't make it, you know, any easier to adjust to
kind of the airspace. I'm guessing she wasn't screaming bloody
murder as it was happening to her.
Speaker 5 (12:20):
Oh, she's about the point to pass out. It hurt
so bad, So okay, that's a doctor. That's when we
came back, got back. But it was nothing. It was
just from the pressure from the plane and all that.
Speaker 1 (12:31):
Well, I'm glad she's okay, And that's good to know,
right because you know, not all of us react the
same way to stuff like that.
Speaker 2 (12:37):
I appreciate the call, Rob, thanks for listening.
Speaker 1 (12:39):
Oh yeah, all right, let's go to Pam real quick. Pam,
welcome to the show today. What you got for me?
Speaker 4 (12:45):
Hello?
Speaker 6 (12:47):
When I flew with babies, I fed them whichever meant
that you know, bottle or nursed them as the plane
was taking off and then as they were landy, and
that helped their ears a lot.
Speaker 2 (13:04):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (13:04):
Well, they tell us like chewing gum while you're on
a plane, that can also kind of help aid, like
the popping process or whatever. I always found it interesting, right,
because that's when the pressure is changing, or when as
the altitude changes, you know, the ear pressure in the
plane could change as well consistently. Like were you able
to achieve that, Pam, Or was there ever a time
(13:25):
where maybe that didn't work necessarily the way you were
hoping it would?
Speaker 6 (13:29):
No, it usually worked, and then you know, I just
made sure when we were defending that I began to
feed them, you know, And it worked for the most
part with toddlers as far as having juice packs and
fruit like the little fruit snatch that they suck on.
(13:50):
Oh yeah, that tended to keep them help happy and busy.
Speaker 2 (13:54):
Yeah, and that makes sense.
Speaker 1 (13:56):
Just having their brain working on something can also be
a big factor in that red art as well. Pam,
thank you so much for the info today and thanks
for listening.
Speaker 2 (14:03):
To our show. We appreciate it.
Speaker 1 (14:04):
Thank you all Right, if you got some thoughts or
some history or a personal story or experience with crying
screaming babies on aircrafts or in any public place that
you you know, we're trying to figure something out. As
we try to learn, maybe some of the ways that
you were able to calm down a young child in
(14:25):
those scenarios. If that's even a possible thing to do,
I wouldn't be one to know. You can call us
four h two five five eight eleven ten four h
two five five eight eleven ten. We thank you for
listening to on news radio eleven ten kfab.
Speaker 2 (14:38):
Em Rie's songer on news Radio eleven ten kfab. I
don't know. I don't know how I feel about it.
Speaker 1 (14:44):
It was like jacket weather at the Iowa State for
today and rain jacket weather because a rain, you know,
sell or whatever, popped up right over the top of
the state Fair when it really wasn't in the forecast.
One of the I have like four or five different
meteorology apps that I kind of use try to gauge
certain things, and one of them that I like to
rely on was saying it was an eight percent chance
of rain and this it didn't stop for like three
(15:06):
hours the rain. Yeah, it's an eight percent chance over
those three hours eight eight eight huh eight.
Speaker 2 (15:13):
Oh joe or in French, you know what the eight
is in French? Pop quiz. I don't know, Yes, it's
probably like I don't even know. I love doing this
to you. What is what is eight in French? I
know the answer?
Speaker 3 (15:27):
UND, how about und You're not actually too far away.
It's wheat wheat spelled h u T. Would you say
that this kind of weather is long sleeve shirt under
short sleeves or shirt under long sleeve shirt type weather?
Speaker 2 (15:39):
I never?
Speaker 1 (15:40):
Okay, so I see some guys that still do this.
It's a very popular guy who works in de wine.
You know, I really like He's very well respected, and
he kind of likes to be hip looking. He's got
a lot of graphic t's that he'll wear around even
though he's like sixty years old.
Speaker 3 (15:53):
Oh.
Speaker 2 (15:54):
I like him. He's a great guy. I love him.
Speaker 1 (15:56):
But he is chronically wearing a long sleeve shirt under
his T shirt when you get into like the fall
in the spring. That is an absurdly stupid look. I
don't care who you are, and I'm sorry for sounding judgemental.
I have not a stylish bone in my body, but
I will never ever do that unless I'm like running
a race or something and I need a T shirt
on the outside, like like the race.
Speaker 2 (16:15):
T shirt or whatever.
Speaker 1 (16:16):
I did that this past spring, I was wearing the
race T shirt, the Maverick Run Rais T shirt over
like a hoodie sweatshirt. Yeah, because I wanted the shirt
to be out so I could poke the holes for
my bib.
Speaker 2 (16:26):
In the shirt.
Speaker 1 (16:27):
Because that's another thing, right, I'd rather put the holes
in the race shirt than one of my T shirts
I'd like to wear all the time, because you know,
they give you the thing with the safety pins, and
you got a safety pin your bib on your shirt,
so you want to you gotta poke holes in that shirt.
So I put that on the outside of my my
sweatshirt so I don't have to poke holes in my sweatshirt.
That's the only time it's acceptable. Have I made myself
clear on that?
Speaker 3 (16:46):
Hey, you've made yourself clear. I think limp Biscuit would
beg to do.
Speaker 1 (16:51):
And now see that's their fault that I ever became
a thing to begin with. Fred Durst is the reason
that ever became a thing, along with the flat build
backwards cap just a complete nozzle look like git, how
was that ever cool? If it ever comes back, just
go ahead and leave me behind. I'll start wearing my
underwear work like I don't even care anymore.
Speaker 2 (17:12):
That's how much.
Speaker 1 (17:12):
I can't understand kids these days, and they're like like
all this loose fitting clothes. The loose fitting is back
all of a sudden for the kids, Like it's cool
to be wearing something two sizes too big. When did
that happen? I thought we were wearing things that were
nice and trim and fit us.
Speaker 2 (17:25):
Well. I don't know, I like it. You like bagging stuff?
Speaker 1 (17:29):
Yeah, it just makes like for somebody built like me,
a slight build, pretty skinny, pretty thin. If I wear
a larger an extra large T shirt, I feel like
I look absolutely ridiculous. It looks like I'm about to
go swimming. It's just I'm sorry. I saw this girl
the other day. She was probably like twenty one twenty two,
like older college age, and she was she was at
(17:51):
this bar, all right, and she was with a boy
and they were getting into like some argument or something.
Speaker 2 (17:55):
I don't know. I was kind of half paying attention
because it was kind of funny. But they are like.
Speaker 1 (17:59):
Arguing, and I just like noted, like he's wearing like
the polo untucked with like the short khaki shorts that
the boys are wearing, Like that's kind of like the
jockey style look like the jock look these days. Sure,
and she was wearing an oversized graphic T shirt that
looked like it was made in nineteen ninety five, and
then like whitewashed jeans with holes in them that were
(18:21):
at least twice as big as they probably needed to
be at least to fit her legs, and then like
a flannel shirt over the top of it.
Speaker 2 (18:27):
It was a little chilly out. It wasn't worth all that.
Speaker 1 (18:29):
But apparently my wife tells me, and she's you know,
coaches and is around high schoolers regularly.
Speaker 3 (18:33):
That's the end style, Matt. Not for guys, though, I don't.
I don't know us guys still have to wear those
like weird shorts that are like way too short.
Speaker 2 (18:41):
Well yeah, yeah, the short shorts are kind of back
in style here. It's so form fitting.
Speaker 3 (18:46):
I'm worried I'm gonna split my pants when I'm leaning
over to pick up a penny.
Speaker 2 (18:49):
You gotta get the golf pants. It's got you get golf.
Speaker 1 (18:53):
The ones that are for golf have like stretch material
on it because it's made for you to be, you know,
moving around in them. I'm telling you that's and they're
not as short the golf shorts are not nearly as
short as like how Calvin Klein or whatever. These other
you know, underwear type companies making these shorts these days.
Speaker 2 (19:08):
Are trying to make you buy them.
Speaker 1 (19:09):
They're barely above the knee and and and they're fashionable.
They look good, you can buy a bunch of different colors,
and they're flexible so you don't split your pants.
Speaker 2 (19:17):
Those are fine. I think, why is it so opposite
for the women?
Speaker 1 (19:20):
Like nowadays it's just like, hey, let's just throw on
like a big old baggy shirt and jeans and put
some holes in them and wear some Chuck Taylor's and
call that a look, call that a fit.
Speaker 2 (19:30):
It's it's because modesty is the new punk rock. That's why.
What is what is going on with you?
Speaker 3 (19:36):
Listen to pop music these days? Punk modesty is punk.
These days you want to be punk rock. Kids, be modest.
Speaker 2 (19:43):
I don't get that. It doesn't make any sense.
Speaker 3 (19:45):
It does if you think about it, It makes perfect sense.
Speaker 2 (19:48):
Kids. You want to be cool and punk rock modic
crock is cool.
Speaker 1 (19:51):
Huh, you're equating punk rock to being cool. I always
felt counter culture punk rock was like, yeah, it was
like counterculture. It was like punk rock was like the rebellion,
Like if you you wanted to show mom and dad
you didn't need them anymore.
Speaker 2 (20:03):
You listen to punk rock.
Speaker 1 (20:04):
Right now, you're telling me wearing baggy, large, modest clothing
is like the new potlight, like the new punk.
Speaker 3 (20:11):
Well, it's better than Jesson and your underwear, which seemed
to be the style recently.
Speaker 1 (20:16):
It's not for me, but again, I'm wearing the golf shorts.
Ryan emails in and says, what are you doing, dude?
Are you pulling at Jim Rose and trying to irritate everyone?
Apologize right now Jinco jeans are coming back. No they
are not, Ryan, I hate to tell you that, and
if they are, I will not be wearing them.
Speaker 2 (20:35):
Thank you. Did you ever have one of those those
Ginko jeans?
Speaker 6 (20:38):
No?
Speaker 3 (20:39):
I didn't go that far me either. That's where I stopped,
you know, No, thank you. That was a bridge I
didn't go across because I don't think you make it back.
Speaker 2 (20:46):
No, you don't.
Speaker 1 (20:47):
And obviously Ryan is trying to bring Jenko's back because
he can't get back across the bridge.
Speaker 3 (20:51):
He's trying to bridge to be built so that he
can make it back over here.
Speaker 1 (20:55):
No, he's not trying to No, he's literally just trying
to move the rest of society over to his side
of the island.
Speaker 3 (20:59):
So you're saying he's penny Wise and a pair of
Jinko jeens saying come follow me into the darkness.
Speaker 1 (21:05):
Correct, exactly, he is penny Wise, He's the Ginko jeans Pennywise.
Jason emails in and says, depending on the distance of
your race, don't forget the band aids for your nipples
so they don't get chafed.
Speaker 2 (21:16):
Oh yeah, solid Andy Bernard tip.
Speaker 1 (21:18):
Yeah, it's not something I had a problem with. Yeah,
I mean I like that particular race. I am referencing
where I did have a long sleeve shirt under my
short sleeve shirt, the only time in my life that
I voluntarily did that. I also had like another short
sleep or long sleeve like thermal underneath the hoodie and
a T shirt. I don't mind. My nipples have not
(21:39):
had a lot of chaffing. Go on, let's just say that.
Does that say something about my nipples?
Speaker 5 (21:43):
Matt?
Speaker 3 (21:44):
Uh, what am I supposed to say here? I don't
got well vacilined nipples. Is that what I'm supposed to say, no.
Speaker 2 (21:50):
I don't vaciline my nipples. Well, they're never chafed. No,
I do use lotion. I have talked about my lotion
right there it is, folks. Yeah, I wasn't wrong.
Speaker 1 (21:58):
I have used a lot of lotion, and much like
the rest of my body, my nipples do receive lotioning
after my showers. I don't know what that has to
do with anything, but apparently people wear band aids on
their nipples.
Speaker 2 (22:11):
That's not something I do.
Speaker 1 (22:13):
I don't know, And Jason responds and says, I have
to know who you two think punk rock was when
you two were growing up. I don't know if you
want to hear this answer, Jason, Matt, I don't think
we need to be telling them what punk rock.
Speaker 2 (22:25):
Was for us. Well, there's different answers. I don't Matt.
Speaker 1 (22:28):
We start saying this and we're going to lose a
lot of credibility with this audience just based on the timeline.
We're gonna say names of bands people had no idea existed,
just because we're twenty years younger than some of our audience.
Do we want to put ourselves out on the line
like that, like you know what punk rock was for me.
I'll go ahead and say it. I'll go ahead and
say it. Okay, my punk rock was a little bit
of Green Day. I think that's true punk rock, though.
(22:48):
I mean there were a lot of people ten fifteen
years older than I was that were into Green Day,
a little splash of like the pop punk scene, like
the Fallout Boys and the my Chemical Romance and uh
there's another good one, Yellow Card. They're a little punky.
There you go, there's a handful your turn.
Speaker 3 (23:06):
I would wouldn't you say My Chemical Romance is more emo?
I guess they can be both.
Speaker 2 (23:10):
It's not is emo not punk?
Speaker 1 (23:12):
Like wooden punk bands like the Ramones they were punk right,
and the Sex Pistols and like The Cure they were
also kind of emo, if you know, you really want
to be clear about it.
Speaker 3 (23:22):
So you're going populous, This is populist punk rock. This
is big tent you know.
Speaker 1 (23:26):
Yeah, anything that you would consider to be rebellious music,
I would say you could also call punk.
Speaker 3 (23:32):
Can you really say you can be? I don't know
if the emo kids are rebellious. You know, they get
their feelings hurt and they'd run home.
Speaker 2 (23:39):
Come on, man, they dyed their hair black.
Speaker 1 (23:42):
They put on eyeline are they They wore like bracelets
and rings and painted their fingernails black.
Speaker 2 (23:47):
They were rebellious. The kids, the goth kids. Maybe I
don't know if.
Speaker 3 (23:51):
The goth kids, goth and emo are almost the same thing.
Watching your Vinn diagram here is so large, like there's
barely anything outside the eh.
Speaker 2 (24:02):
I think there's differences, there's.
Speaker 1 (24:03):
You've effectively wasted enough time to where now I have
to take a break and we can't hear your punk
rock bands. Well done, Jerk four forty eight. If you
got punk bands that you want to talk about, or
you have some comment on our style or lack thereof
in this conversation, you can fire away a phone call
four h two five five eight, eleven ten. We try
(24:24):
not to be too sensitive on this show, and we
like to hear what you have to say about it,
even if it is probably roasting us. And we'll do
that next on news Radio eleven ten, kfab Well, nobody
came on the emails at least and roasted us. Tom says,
arguing about punk bands and Jinko jeans. This is the
best show ever, Thank you, wow, and then Richard says, Emory,
I could have gone all day without having to hear
(24:44):
what you.
Speaker 2 (24:44):
Do with your nipples.
Speaker 3 (24:45):
Yeah, it was more about what I don't do with
my nipples, Richard, for whatever it's worth. Yeah, Richard, you know,
I said, hey, you know what band aid on the nipples?
And I said, no, I can run all the time
without band dating my nipples. I don't think you're making
this better. Just for the record, Oh okay, sorry, I
just wanted to clarify.
Speaker 1 (25:05):
All right, So, uh, there are a couple of other
things we heard of the news. Hard left turn here
heard of the news. The Iowa legislature passed this past
session a bill basically that allows schools school districts to
arm teachers if the teachers take you know, five or
so five training sessions, they get highly uh comfortable with
(25:32):
a firearm, and.
Speaker 2 (25:33):
They can be armed while in the building.
Speaker 1 (25:36):
However, as you heard in the newscast earlier in the hour,
there are a couple of hurdles. First of all, several
of the school districts and the teachers within those school
districts are declining to do that, and they don't seem
to be wanting to do that. And there are a
couple of school districts probably in you know, you would
think that this would be designed mostly for more metro style,
larger school districts, even though the school shooting that happened
(25:59):
in Iowa earlier this year was in Perry, which is
a smaller town. But a couple of the school districts
that were interested in exploring those options, we're told by
their insurance companies that they're not going to be covered
by insurance if they do decide to arm their teachers,
And of course insurance is going to be a big
issue there.
Speaker 2 (26:16):
So one has to ask.
Speaker 1 (26:18):
And this is a question that I'm probably you're probably
going to have to answer over the next several years,
is we either figure out what this bill really means,
or what the insurance companies respond with, or how the
legislature kind of the men's whatever this bill is. But
was this done without really knowing what the implications would
be for these school districts and their insurance coverage, without
(26:38):
knowing what the school districts themselves really wanted, and without
you know, kind of hearing from the rest of the
state of Iowa as to what the viable options for
something like this would be. Was this move by the
Iowa legislature and Governor Kim Reynolds to a lesser extent,
Was this more about political grand standing telling people, hey,
(26:59):
you know what we're going to do. Joined the number
of states and there are a number of states that
allow teachers to arm themselves even though there's absolutely no
way they actually can do so. Or is this one
of those things where they actually were hoping that this
could be something that could be attained in the next
six months to a year and doesn't sound like that's
actually going to happen, at least to this point.
Speaker 2 (27:18):
Only time is going to tell here. But this is
the game of politics.
Speaker 1 (27:21):
As much as we like to talk about policy, not
always the policies are able to actually get done in
the way that we expect them to.
