What happens when a routine visit to a CrossFit gym turns into a saga of bans and baffling expectations? Join us as we recount the comedic chaos of our fitness journeys, topped off with a sprinkle of multiverse madness. Scott and I unravel the peculiar world of gym culture, sharing laughs over the highs and lows of our workouts. We also dive headfirst into the concept of multiverse travel, imagining encounters with our alternate selves and comparing our lives to those of other "Adams" scattered across the cosmos.
In an alternate universe where the Children's Bill of Rights took center stage instead of the Build Back Better plan, everything changes. We explore this parallel reality where Democrats rebranded themselves as the ultimate champions of family values, winning bipartisan support and reshaping public perception. From permanent child tax credits to ambitious climate measures, we humorously dissect the political and social ramifications of prioritizing children's welfare. What if society genuinely placed children's rights at the forefront? We muse over hypothetical rights for kids, reflecting on how these changes could transform our world.
Our journey doesn't stop there. We venture further into the implications of progressive child welfare policies in this alternate universe. Imagine rent support linked to having children, slashing poverty rates, and completely revamping societal attitudes toward family life. We draw thought-provoking parallels to our own political landscape, touching on themes from "Children of Men" and even toying with the wild idea of state-subsidized plastic surgery to boost population growth. This episode is packed with humor, insightful political commentary, and whimsical multiverse speculations that promise to entertain and engage.

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Well, hey, scott, hello, good to see you Good to
be seen.
Thank you, you looking fit asper usual, Thank you.
Speaker 2 (00:10):
Very fit.
We're a couple of fit peoplenow yeah.
Speaker 1 (00:15):
I've been doing some squats.
I've been doing CrossFit again.
Speaker 2 (00:17):
You've been eating your vegetables, you've been
doing.
Speaker 1 (00:19):
CrossFit yeah.
Speaker 2 (00:21):
Again A little bit.
Speaker 1 (00:22):
Yeah, I did CrossFit during COVID and then it sort of
stopped because I got bannedlow-key.
Then I went to.
Then I found another gym whereI was not.
No, we're going to glaze overthat.
We're going to glaze overgetting banned from CrossFit.
Speaker 2 (00:36):
Yeah, okay, cool, cool, cool.
Not interested at all.
Cool, cool, cool, cool, cool,cool.
Sure, there's no storywhatsoever.
Speaker 1 (00:41):
There really isn't.
Oh yeah, I was just doing themoves.
I was too strong for CrossFitand they were like you have to
leave.
Speaker 2 (00:51):
You did one push-up and they were like it's perfect,
it's perfect, it's everythingyou don't need to be here
anymore.
Speaker 1 (00:56):
Please leave, you're banned.
Speaker 2 (00:58):
You're dismissed.
You're done.
You've reached the end offitness.
We refuse to train you anymore.
Speaker 1 (01:04):
Would you train us?
Speaker 2 (01:04):
You're like I didn't come here for that.
Speaker 1 (01:08):
They're like then you have to go because you make us
look bad.
I wish it were something thatpositive.
It was more like I was weak andI had this wrist pain that I
thought was carpal tunnel Turnsout it was tendonitis and I've
since cured myself.
But back then I had this painin my hands and just weakness.
And also I'm just like verytall, and just taller than like
everybody and so they were.
(01:30):
They were saying like, do themoves a certain way right, and I
like didn't feel safe, like Ifelt I was gonna injure myself
if I did them the exact way thatthey told me.
So I just would like modifywhat they would do very little
modifications, but like like wewere supposed to put the bar
above our heads and do a squat.
I couldn't do that, so I putthe bar on my shoulders and did
the same squat and literallywhen I did that, one of the
(01:53):
coaches came up to me and saidif you're not going to do the
moves the way I tell you youcan't come to any of my classes
anymore.
Just don't come to my classes,which I thought was bizarre.
Speaker 2 (02:04):
Okay, an extreme it's the one I yeah.
Speaker 1 (02:07):
So when I went and told like the boss type person,
like hey, this coach liketotally disrespected me and like
told me that I couldn't adjustthe movements for like my own
safety, he literally sided withthe coach.
He was like, well, if that'swhat the coach said, then yeah,
I guess you can't sign up forany of her coat, any of her
classes anymore, and and shetaught classes like three times
a day, so there was only liketwo other classes each day that
(02:29):
I could have gone to.
Speaker 2 (02:30):
Did they high five and call you yeah, I guess, yeah
, right, look at this, look atthis wimp.
Speaker 1 (02:44):
So today I thought we'd do something a little
differently, scott, I thoughtI'd bring you along on my
journeys through the multiverse.
Speaker 2 (02:51):
Oh, okay, yeah, I could open the portal.
It is summer, so it's time forvacation, that's right.
Speaker 1 (02:56):
Well, we're not going to go anywhere, we're going to
be exactly where we are.
Speaker 2 (02:59):
You just said you were going to bring me along.
Speaker 1 (03:01):
I know, but technically we'll be physically
latitude, longitude in the samecoordinate Technically.
Speaker 2 (03:06):
if you say you're going to bring me somewhere and
I say I'm ready to go, and youtry to correct me and you're
like we're not going anywhere,I'm going to get a little
persnickety.
Speaker 1 (03:16):
You're confused, it's okay.
It's your first time traversingthe multiverse.
Speaker 2 (03:20):
All right, so bringing me nowhere, go ahead.
What are you doing?
Same latitude, longitude, sure,different universe, so that
counts right.
Same latitude, same longitude.
Latitude different attitudeyeah, exactly yes, is that what
we're doing?
Attitude yeah, okay, so what?
Speaker 1 (03:38):
we're gonna do is we're gonna go to in this other
universe and then, uh, we're notgonna.
I I've already asked, I'vealready been there, so I know
what the solution is.
Okay, and I've asked the otheradam to just leave us alone
because it'd be too confusing tohave two adams talking.
And, uh, you know, you don'twant that.
Speaker 2 (03:55):
No, no, no, no.
Have you seen time cop?
Speaker 1 (03:57):
I think you could get a real stick and his life is
like not good, so we don't wanthim around like that.
Adam screwed up his lifecompletely, so we don't want him
around like that.
Adam screwed up his lifecompletely, so we don't need him
around now you're saying notlike this one, no, this adam,
I'm like a middle of the pack,adam.
There's other atoms who arelike way, like successful and
like, oh my god you're average.
There's like atoms, who are likeway down.
(04:19):
Yeah, I'm like average adam,i'm'm average in some ways
You're the mean Adam.
Speaker 2 (04:25):
No.
Speaker 1 (04:25):
I'm a nice Adam.
Speaker 2 (04:26):
But like no in a math .
Speaker 1 (04:27):
No, I'm saying in a math way.
No, I'm very nice, no, in amath you're the mean Adam.
I've made a few choices as anAdam that put me in the middle
of the pack let's just put itthat way A few.
Speaker 2 (04:40):
A few real middle of the pack choices.
Yeah, real.
Speaker 1 (04:45):
Okay, so let's go through the portal and then I
can sort of tell you about thatuniverse.
I guess maybe this isn't theright universe to do this with,
but let's try it and maybe we'lldo it in the future more when
it's more.
Speaker 2 (05:01):
All right, I'm in hey what's that big glowing?
You don't have to make thatnoise.
We walked.
No, I do have to make that you.
For you, it's new, yeahmandatory.
Speaker 1 (05:13):
Okay, so in this universe, uh there, the the
what's different about thisuniverse is, among other things,
that, um, a few years ago, whenin our universe it's very
similar universes, the onlything is different is that a few
years ago, when our democratswere trying to do the build back
(05:34):
better plan, remember, thatyeah, this universe.
Instead, their democrats did abill of rights for children Okay
, and because they did that, itwas a massive success
politically because they wereable to get even Republicans
(05:55):
some Republicans to join it.
Because the Republicans wantedto seem pro-child Okay, and they
were able to get.
Politically, they were able towin elections because of the
success of being a pro-child,pro-family party.
They were able to wrestle awayfrom the Republicans the
(06:15):
perception that the Republicanswere pro-family and instead now
the Democrats are clearly themost pro-family party in this
universe.
Ah yeah.
Speaker 2 (06:24):
Interesting episode of Sl universe.
Ah yeah, interesting episode ofSliders.
Okay, exactly so.
So what is it we can talk aboutit.
Speaker 1 (06:35):
What is in the Children's Bill of Rights?
Speaker 2 (06:37):
would be the obvious first question that I would have
.
Speaker 1 (06:40):
Well, first of all, congratulations everyone here.
Speaker 2 (06:42):
Yes, good job, so great.
Speaker 1 (06:43):
All the children are protected and safe.
Speaker 2 (06:46):
Yeah, How's that climate change going?
Oh, still the Okay cool.
Speaker 1 (06:50):
Well, good luck with that no, so they actually were
able to include climate changein the challenge of the Bill of
Rights.
Well, they were able to, inaddition to what's been done
with the IRA right, theinflation reduction.
Speaker 2 (07:02):
Irish Republican which has right the the
inflation reduction.
Speaker 1 (07:03):
Irish republican, which has a lot of yeah, you got
to keep those separate whichhas a lot of provisions for
climate change stuff not as muchas we need.
They were able to add even moreinto the through the children's
uh bill of rights, becausechildren have the right to to
fix the climate of and right nowwe don't let them environment
(07:26):
there.
Speaker 2 (07:26):
We just don't let them fix the climate today we
don't care about.
Speaker 1 (07:30):
I mean, we don't care about children because the the
republicans cosplay is caringabout children and the democrats
say that they pay lip serviceto caring about children.
Sure, but then neither partyactually like commits really to
protecting children.
And so if the democratsactually did it, because the
children have no rights adam,they don't vote.
Speaker 2 (07:48):
They don't have any right.
Don't vote.
Nobody's giving them a bill ofrights and so we don't have to
protect them, right?
Is that where you're?
Speaker 1 (07:54):
going, yeah, but it turns out that there's this
latent or even sometimes verypublicly clear uh value in
american political.
You know people that theyreally care about children, baby
boomers who are old.
They care about children, theirgrandparents, their parents
themselves almost or if you careabout this.
(08:15):
You know beloved the, you knowpolitical people love the
suburban vote.
Right, they want this suburbanmiddle class vote.
Suburbanites all have kids.
They care about kids.
They want their kids to beprotected they all have kids.
Speaker 2 (08:29):
Let's not, let's not say they necessarily care about
those kids, but they all they doall have kids.
They're a part of their lives.
Speaker 1 (08:36):
The children are part of their lives and they might
want their children to be likeeasier to deal with well, they
definitely want the kids weresafer and better provided for,
right then it would be better.
So one thing that this Bill ofRights did was it made permanent
the child tax credit, which wasso popular during COVID.
This became part of that bill,which was a huge boon and win
(08:59):
for Democrats, because itotherwise would have been a huge
loss.
Like in our universe, peoplegot given that tax credit under
Trump and now they got itremoved under Biden.
So for them, it felt likeactually Biden took away their
tax credit for children, so itreinforced this idea that Biden
was behind.
So that was one thing.
The other thing is, yeah, theywere able to put in climate
(09:20):
change provisions, because it'sa right of children to have a
climate that's predictable andlivable and not just like a Mad
Max barren wasteland full ofrefugees.
Right?
Speaker 2 (09:30):
Yeah, because one of the rights in the Children's
Bill of Rights will be like youhave to get the climate right.
That's now your job is to fixthe climate for us, the older.
Speaker 1 (09:41):
Yeah, obviously we couldn't do it, so the children
have to go and do it, yeah,instead of the old people.
Yeah, we couldn't, obviously wecouldn't do it.
So, so the children have to go.
Yeah, do it.
Speaker 2 (09:46):
Yeah, instead of the old people doing it turns out,
the climate is made of tinyspaces that need small hands and
and little arms to reach in andfix it snow piercer.
Is that what you're, snowpiercer?
Speaker 1 (09:59):
it's snow piercer, snow piercer uh-huh Totally,
they could have called this theSnowpiercer Act.
The SPA, very pro-SPA grouphere.
Speaker 2 (10:12):
So okay.
So what else the right tofreedom of?
Speaker 1 (10:14):
speech.
Is that in there?
Well, that's already there.
We already have that from theFirst Amendment.
Also there's nothing aboutchildren in particular that they
need that.
Their speech is usually quitegarbled actually, oh okay, so
they probably don't need.
Speaker 2 (10:27):
Do they have the right to bear arms as children?
Speaker 1 (10:35):
They do have the right to bear arms?
No, they don't.
But what's important is guncontrol, because not gun control
for the hunter in Montana whowants to own a bunch of guns,
but gun control as it pertainsspecifically to the rights of
children, which currently thegreatest cause of death among
children is gun violence.
That's the highest cause ofdeath among people under 18,
which is bananas.
(10:55):
I mean that's completelybananas, right?
I mean you and I don't have toargue about that.
Speaker 2 (11:00):
It's depressing.
We both agree already, right,of course.
Speaker 1 (11:02):
So in this bill, democrats very carefully crafted
gun control measures that wouldonly affect Americans, children
being affected by gun violence.
It wouldn't affect any kind ofyou know whatever militant crazy
people who like guns, gun nutswho are having their guns.
It wouldn't affect them at all.
Speaker 2 (11:23):
It just affects children being affected by gun
violence which is very hard toargue against even as for gun
supporters, some people are not,but it's very universal.
Speaker 1 (11:33):
Yeah, it's pretty universal.
So these were able to be passedand so schools shootings are,
in this universe, are at an alltime or not all time low, but
are going down.
They're going down because fora year now already, two years
now already, there's alreadybeen these provisos that prevent
the things that lead to gunviolence among children For
(11:54):
example, to have funding for redflag programs in schools where
schools can register if theydetect red flags for gun
violence among the students, andthen the students who get three
red flags, the police show upat their door and confiscate all
the kids' guns or assess theaccess that child has to guns.
That's a thing that researchhas shown can dramatically
(12:19):
reduce gun violence in schoolsis these red flag laws, and so
this provided the money forthere to be red flag laws across
the whole country, for example.
Speaker 2 (12:30):
Sweet.
Speaker 1 (12:30):
And other things too, but specifically, everything
was just to try to protectchildren from guns.
So we can help the climate, wecan put in provisos to protect
children from gun violence, andthen children also suffer.
We can keep the child credit,which reduced child poverty by
50%, but we need to get childpoverty down completely.
(12:53):
We need to eliminate childpoverty entirely in order for it
to have this Bill of Rights.
So we have to get rid of thatother 50% of child poverty down
completely.
We need to eliminate childpoverty entirely in order for it
to have this bill of rights.
Speaker 2 (12:58):
So we have to get rid of that other 50% of child
poverty.
We want rich children.
Speaker 1 (13:01):
Well, we want healthy children, for sure, I don't
know Super rich, like richy richstyle.
That's what you're hearing.
Yeah, blank check.
Speaker 2 (13:11):
Yeah, they can't get their wallet closed because it's
full of so many dollar bills.
Speaker 1 (13:16):
yeah, those type what kind of bling do these children
have?
I mean, what are they?
I guess like pop pokemon, uhbling, maybe some am I dating
myself now.
Are kids still doing pokemon?
Speaker 2 (13:28):
do kids have their right to wear bling and the new
bill of rights and the kids billright, one of the main bills.
Speaker 1 (13:32):
That's one of the main things.
Speaker 2 (13:33):
That's the every kid gets a grill just like kanye
grill, full, full, yeah, yeah,yeah, yeah, so okay, so we have
to get rid of the other half.
Okay, go ahead.
So wait, so this is cool.
You showed me this really coolplace.
I assume I have to go home atsome point to my universe.
Speaker 1 (13:53):
Yeah, you're we.
You don't want to meet you here.
Speaker 2 (13:55):
He's very successful.
This you said in this universe.
He's like lambos and justlambos crazy I think if you see
a tiny human, how does he fitinside?
Speaker 1 (14:08):
they make custom lambos for him that fit his
enormous body.
Wow that is important.
Oh my gosh custom ibo.
I think if you stayed in thisuniverse we'd have a ripley
scenario.
Have you been watching ripleyon netflix?
Speaker 2 (14:21):
no, I have not it's.
Speaker 1 (14:22):
It's a retelling of the movie, the or the book the
talented mr ripley.
So it's oh yeah, so you would.
This would definitely be aripley scenario.
You would be like, well, hey,mr maupin, and he'd be like you,
look just like he put a bagover his head.
Speaker 2 (14:40):
I thought it was going to be a Ripley scenario
where the other me opens hismouth real wide and then another
tiny mouth comes out and thenthat mouth opens up, not just a
mouth, a whole other Scott head,a tiny little Scott head.
And then that mouth opens up.
It's like ah, I think we'retalking about different Ripley's
, I think that's possible.
Speaker 1 (14:57):
I think that tiny little Scott head would open up
his mouth and be like oh hey,man, you want to go do some.
Speaker 2 (15:04):
Brazilian jiu-jitsu.
Speaker 1 (15:06):
No, the tiny little Scott head would just say bro he
would say bro Bro bro, bro, bro, bro, bro, bro, bro, and then I
would eat you.
That's a different Ripley,that's the alien Ripley.
Speaker 2 (15:22):
That's the alien Ripley.
Talented Mr Ripley.
Speaker 1 (15:25):
Yes, which is very good on Netflix I'm talking
about.
Speaker 2 (15:27):
It's black and white, ms Ripley.
Honestly, I'm being moreprogressive.
Yes, you can talk about mrripley if you want to talented
very good.
Speaker 1 (15:39):
It's black and white.
Is that it's good?
It's good.
I think it starts out a littlebit the cinematography.
They kind of were kind ofwrangling I think how to do it
right in the first episode.
But then it settles down andgets really good after nice,
yeah, they still.
They still sometimes make it alittle bit too sharp and you can
kind of tell that it's likedigital and they just made it
black and white, but but theyoften muddy it up enough so that
(16:00):
it so that it it looks good.
So yeah, but okay, so yeah sowhat are we gonna do?
Speaker 2 (16:06):
we have to go back to our universe.
In our universe, people don'tcare about children.
Speaker 1 (16:10):
Wait, you said this republicans steal a lot of votes
from the republic, butdemocrats, by convincing people
in the american public that theyactually care about children
because they hate trans peopleor something like, they don't
actually do anything to actuallyhelp children.
They don't increase funding forchildren's lunches or increase
funding for children's educationright or increase funding for
(16:31):
children's care or their healthcare or their child care.
No, they don't do any of that.
They just say trans people aredangerous for your children,
okay, which somehow then makesthem seem like they're they're
the moral, like childrenprotectors.
It's very strange what?
Speaker 2 (16:47):
so you said, this all started back at the build back
better time.
What, yeah, what are we talking?
Is that?
Speaker 1 (16:52):
so that was 2020, 2020, and they were trying to.
So our world did build backbetter, their world did, or
universe did child human yeah,children's bill of rights.
So they came forward and bidenso it's not too late, and it's
only been four years bernie andbiden both went out and they
both said we are presenting the.
(17:13):
You know, biden presented itfirst and then bernie presented
it after they used the.
Bernie was included a lot in it,but also right-wing children
protector people were includedin it, you know right people who
say I stand for my familyvalues and children, and they
even put things in there thatmaybe are a little bit more kind
of right wing, like money forchurches to provide care to
(17:37):
children, like child care, andit's like, oh, I don't know, the
left-wing people might not besuper happy with like churches
providing like christian childcare, but they still put it in
there because they wanted tocreate that we're going to help
children in a right wing and aleft wing way, so it's very kind
of open-minded interesting,okay, so how do we start?
Speaker 2 (17:58):
we?
Speaker 1 (17:59):
we have to rally those forces well wait, I gotta
talk about one more thing theydid.
That was really smart becausethe child tax credit which in
covid gave gave like somethinglike eight hundred dollars or
some.
No, something like three or,000or $4,000 per kid per family
per year back through a taxcredit and the projections were
(18:21):
that that would reduce childpoverty by 50%.
So if they made that permanent,child poverty is still 50%.
We need to get it to zero.
So this provision alsoidentified key things that keep
children in child poverty, whichhas to do with homeless, rent,
support.
Speaker 2 (18:42):
They're bad at gambling probably.
Speaker 1 (18:44):
Being bad at getting.
Yeah, this is.
Children's gambling lessons isa key proviso.
Speaker 2 (18:50):
They make foolish bets and you're like you, child
Fools, you absolute child Fools.
Speaker 1 (18:56):
What are you doing?
That's right.
So, for example, uh, uh, rentsupport is one of the best ways
to keep people housed.
So people generally who becomeunhoused generally, uh, they
become unhoused because they'reliving paycheck to paycheck and
then something happens and theyhave to pay for that and the
rent is a huge chunk Right.
(19:17):
So what they did was say it weshould provide this for everyone
.
But because the Democratswanted to create a children's
bill of rights.
If you have a child, there is afederal rent support money you
can get, and all you have to dois send in.
I need to pay my rent and I havehere's my children.
(19:38):
You know, you know.
Here's my proof I have children.
I don't here's my bank account.
I don't have any money.
I need to make rent.
Can I get the rent support?
And they put you on the rentsupport for a year, no questions
asked, because keeping thechild homed is so important and
that child has a right tohousing.
They must, you must, supportthe parent who has children with
(19:59):
the rent support.
But it's not like welfare.
Oh, you just have kids, youjust get money, because that
creates what the right wingconsiders welfare, welfare
queens and stuff.
Speaker 2 (20:09):
But it does seem like an attractive offer because you
basically get a year of freerent.
Speaker 1 (20:14):
No, it's not free, it's just subsidized.
How do you mean subsidized?
Speaker 2 (20:18):
It's just like if your rent is, you know, a
thousand bucks a month, you're,you'd get 300 bucks it's not,
it's not like free rent, yeah oh, well, then I would want to do
that too, because I could dobetter if, if you could qualify
for it, you get it how would Iqualify?
Speaker 1 (20:34):
because I'll do this you'd have to submit.
Well, it's not, it's on this.
Well, in our universe itdoesn't exist.
We want it though.
So what would I dohypothetically?
I don't know exactly, but Iknow that I read the book
Evicted, which is quite a goodbook about homelessness, ok, and
at the very end of that book hesolutions Like.
The whole book is just kind oflike poverty pornography, like
(20:56):
he just describes people, super,super poor people living in
horrible conditions.
But then at the very, very, very, very end he actually says,
like in 25 pages.
At the end he's like, okay,here's actually what we could do
to solve homelessness.
And one of his key things hesaid the number one thing that
he recommends is this rentsupport.
And so it's.
It's been done.
This is a problem that'salready been solved.
(21:17):
How it operates, how exactly itworks it's all been solved and
it works really well to keeppeople homed and it doesn't
create welfare queens, itdoesn't create bad incentives or
whatever.
Nice.
But now we're going to justlimit it to just children,
because it's the rights ofchildren to have a home.
The deadbeat dad yeah, yeah,might be a deadbeat.
(21:41):
We're not going to try to keepdeadbeat dad.
Should we make the child liveby themselves, like in their own
place?
Yeah, little little kid homes,little, oh, like those tiny
houses they haven't, because fora kid that's a huge house.
Tiny house, tiny house forchildren tiny house for children
, little tiny house villages fortime and then their parents can
like visit them uh-huh, if theylive, if they're cool enough.
Speaker 2 (21:55):
But these kids are like rich they're not in the
poverty zone anymore, Rightexactly.
Speaker 1 (21:59):
And then the same thing for food stamps, and the
same thing for, you know yeah,food stamps.
Speaker 2 (22:07):
Necessities and education support yeah,
necessities.
Speaker 1 (22:09):
Healthcare is already pretty well protected for kids
through Medicaid not medicarebut medicaid, which is for poor
people but it's also forchildren, so you can.
So pretty much children havealready pretty much free health
care through socialized healthcare, through medicaid cool.
But this bill went, goesfurther and beefed up those
supports for children andmedicaid.
(22:30):
It gives the kids steroids sothere's like extra health.
Speaker 2 (22:33):
They're gonna be children ripped.
Speaker 1 (22:35):
That's what children are gonna be lifting cars and
we're walking around thisuniverse and we are just very
impressed with the, the, the,the guns on these children, not
not handguns we remember we'vealready removed the handguns
from children but the biceps,the triceps, yeah, I've got my
own team of like x-men that Icarry with me to like take care
(22:57):
of any sort of a situation thatarises.
They have 3D deltoids frontdeltoid, side deltoid and even
that back deltoid.
I mean those shoulders areimpressive.
Speaker 2 (23:08):
We're talking like a full-on Stephen Platt drawing
like Prophet Fritz Wright in hisheyday pouches everywhere,
pouches, pouches.
Reference makes sense to veryfew people, but if you get it,
these kids have pouches, theyhave pouches?
Speaker 1 (23:23):
Yeah no, these kids are ripped and that's largely
because of this bill giving themstrength training.
Speaker 2 (23:31):
But yeah anyways.
Speaker 1 (23:31):
OK, so that drove child poverty in America.
Projected to drive childpoverty in America down to zero
Good housing, no childhoodpoverty.
Improve their health care andthen child care, universal child
care.
So a child who doesn't getadequate child care isn't
(23:53):
healthy, isn't safe.
Speaker 2 (23:54):
And a family that doesn't have child care
sometimes can't have someonework a job and hold down a
stable living.
Speaker 1 (24:02):
So it includes universal child care and it
includes maternity and paternitypaid leave.
Look at that, because the childhas a right to the parent, not
the parent has a right topaternity and maternity leave.
That is not the right way to doit in America, because in
America, people don't care aboutthe parents.
(24:23):
They think the parents are justdirtbags.
They don't care but people.
They think the parents are justdirt bags, they don't care, but
people care about children.
So what you say is this is achild, this is the children's
bill of rights.
The child has a right to theirmother being there for the first
six months of their life.
The child has a right to theirfather being there for the first
six months of their life.
Therefore, each mother andfather deserve, fifth, you know,
(24:45):
six months or whatever it is.
I think six months would be aminimum six months paid
maternity, paternity leave useit or lose it, can't transfer it
, the father can't transfer tothe mother, blah, blah, blah.
So that's the children's billof rights it would.
They made compromises.
They got whittled things down.
They wanted more gun controlthat got whittled down.
They wanted more health carethat got whittled down.
(25:06):
You know, it went, got whittleddown, but by and large they
made child, they eliminatedchild poverty and they made
children, childhood in americasafer, healthier and and and
better and now their streets areoverrun with children.
Speaker 2 (25:22):
It's horrible.
They don't know what to to do.
These children need to bestopped.
People are running into them ontheir cars everywhere, because
they're just flooding.
They can't control it.
How?
Speaker 1 (25:32):
can you miss them?
I mean, how can you not hitthem?
Speaker 2 (25:34):
Yeah, child infestation Okay.
Speaker 1 (25:36):
Right.
Speaker 2 (25:36):
So we need something.
How are we going to fix?
Well, I guess it's not ouruniverse, right, they have to
make another law.
Speaker 1 (25:47):
Yeah Child bill of fewer rights.
Well, it's more like increasingthe rights to hit them with
your car.
That's what they do.
Speaker 2 (25:53):
Yeah, that's this universe, though they're weird
here.
You just need a yeah, you needan automobile bill of rights.
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (26:00):
The car has the right .
Speaker 2 (26:01):
Self-defense.
Speaker 1 (26:02):
Self-defense against small children.
Speaker 2 (26:06):
The two-ton automobile has.
Okay, yeah, actually this is abad topic.
Speaker 1 (26:09):
This might sell lucy k's never mind, I won't say lucy
k's joke about murdering.
No, this is bad.
This is actually bad, see,because people don't like
murdering children this is whyyou use the children's bill of
rights, particularly bad rightnow.
This is bad.
Oh really, did children justget hit by a car?
Speaker 2 (26:26):
no, but there were recent children stuff oh no,
yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 1 (26:31):
I don't watch the news, it's okay, so I'm just
ignorant anyways.
Yeah, so this is what they did.
Isn't this clever?
So the democrats not only didthey get across this raft of
policies that support a sort offreer, safer form of life for
children but they alsoestablished themselves
(26:51):
unequivocally as the party ofchildren and families, by
extension families, and thatlets them then cruise into
political debates across America, in suburban areas, in rural
areas as well as in urban areas,where they already dominate.
They are mopping up because ofthat.
Speaker 2 (27:14):
Cool.
Well, I'm sure nothing would gowrong from a lopsided political
structure, but we haven't hadone in a while.
Really it's been kind of, eventhough I feel like the
demographic of the population ispretty lopsided, one-sided
toward the other.
Then it feels like the.
(27:35):
I think the political thing isthey always want to keep it,
even for some reason, which isfrustrating, even how Like they
just wanted to always be like 50, 50, to be like nobody has a
dominant they want it that way.
Speaker 1 (27:53):
No, democrats want to win, republicans want to win,
they want to totally take over.
Speaker 2 (27:57):
I know both sides want to, but like it seems like
they're, it seems like no, Idon't know.
Speaker 1 (28:05):
I don't know what I'm saying you think there's a
smoke filled room full of lizardmen.
No, I don't think there's asmoke, but I'm saying like it.
Speaker 2 (28:11):
There's a feeling that it should be half and half,
so that neither side can reallyjust run the table on the other
side despite there, just likethere's going to be something
wrong with giving too much powerto either side.
But but it's not representative.
Speaker 1 (28:26):
The Democrats ran the table for 20 years.
I mean from Clinton all the waythrough, you know Clinton
through Obama.
They just rocked.
Speaker 2 (28:35):
Well, no.
Speaker 1 (28:35):
Clinton was George Bush in the middle, but for
Clinton for eight years he hadlike super majorities and
president and you know.
So I mean there's been timeswhere people have power and they
have power when they betterserve the people.
That's the democracy.
So when the parties find a wayto communicate with the people
in such a way that they canserve the people, then they win.
(28:56):
And I think the Democratsespecially are missing the boat
here right now.
On people's, I think we'restarting to live in sort of the
children of men.
Have you seen that movie?
Yes right now on people's.
I think we're starting to livein sort of the children of men.
Have you seen that movie?
Yes, I think we're kind of inthe children of men already,
because the birth rate is so lowamong so many people that we're
already starting to think ofchildren like in children of men
.
Remember, we're like childrenand children of men were like
(29:17):
these precious things that, likeeverybody, was like really
careful with and cared about.
I feel like we're getting tothat.
I mean, it's proportional, butwe're kind of getting to that
point, whereas a hundred yearsago it was like children.
They just work on farms andfactories and like who cares?
They're everywhere.
Everyone has 10 children.
Who cares?
You know?
Speaker 2 (29:37):
like they're not precious, they don't have.
Speaker 1 (29:40):
It was a lot yeah, and they died right.
But now it's like oh you know,people are only gonna have like
one to three children, right,and three is like a lot already,
so like one or two, so if a kiddies or if a kid's in trouble
or anything, yeah much troubleand people now are also starting
to get awake to the idea thatwe might not have an.
(30:01):
So, whereas some parts of theworld have an overpopulation
problem, other parts of theworld have an overpopulation
problem.
Other parts of the world havean underpopulation part of the
problem and that's the case insome parts regionally of the
United States and obviouslytotally in Korea and Italy and
various places where thepopulation is extremely falling
off a cliff.
I don't want to get into allthe questions around that, but
(30:24):
that's still something that thiscan speak to.
I don't think you want toaddress that in this bill.
There's no reason to.
In America we have immigrationand we have plenty of birth
overall average over everyone,but I think it speaks to that
issue.
For populations who areconcerned about that.
You can say we're going tosupport children.
(30:44):
We're going to make it easierto have children for people,
make children's lives safer andbetter, which makes the parents
less, you know, more comfortablehaving one more or two more
children than what about?
Speaker 2 (30:55):
what about then?
What about uh offeringsubsidizing plastic surgery?
Okay for all young people.
Speaker 1 (31:02):
I'm saying in order to increase their sexual
progress, their sexualdesirability right, everyone's a
super hot like okay a super hothunky man or lady, well
remember how we said we're gonnagive.
Remember how we're gonna givethe weight, the weight training
lessons, to the kids.
That means, when they're older,already got it it.
Speaker 2 (31:22):
But I'm saying would you have more kids if like?
Speaker 1 (31:25):
You're hotter.
Speaker 2 (31:27):
Well, if your partner's hotter you know what
I'm saying Like if both of youare hotter.
Speaker 1 (31:31):
Yeah, then are you just like Play this all the way
out for me, scott?
Speaker 2 (31:34):
Well, I'm saying, then maybe you engage in the act
which brings about theproduction of children.
Speaker 1 (31:41):
More.
Speaker 2 (31:41):
At a more frequent.
Speaker 1 (31:47):
No, I think people just do it the same amount,
don't they?
Hotter people?
Speaker 2 (31:48):
too hot?
Maybe they do.
I don't have a lot hard bodies.
I don't take a lot of data onthis hard bodies heaving in the
night.
Speaker 1 (31:54):
I don't know.
I don't know what the researchsays about that.
We'd have to run a study, scottlet's run a surgery, all right
you don't need it, scott.
You're beefy, you're strong andthin.
Speaker 2 (32:04):
Look at you?
No idea, I want to have extraarms okay, well, that's not
plastic surgery.
That's one of those rat ear,like the ears like they put on
the backs of rats.
I want one of those on my back.
Speaker 1 (32:15):
I'm an audio a giant ear or a small one?
Speaker 2 (32:17):
oh, I want like a human size one, or you want like
proportional, the rat's bodythe way it looks like on the
rats that they graft them onto.
Speaker 1 (32:24):
Okay, apropos of this conversation, I just want to
tell you, scott, that this willnot increase your creation of
progeny, though this will notincrease the sexual Wait, the
giant ear on my back part.
I don't think that's like athing.
Right now that's not trendy.
I'm not saying it's bad, I'mjust saying right now it's not
the trend.
Speaker 2 (32:44):
Oh, I was thinking it would be really good to hear
all the compliments for peopletalking about how cool my back
looks, yeah, behind your back.
Do you see this guy?
He's got a giant ear on hisback.
That is really cool, like Iwish I you know.
Speaker 1 (32:59):
So wait, the ear can actually hear too.
It's not just like a formfactor.
Well, it doesn't obviouslyconnect to my ear drums but it
has like a membrane that wouldthere's another inner ear in
your back.
Speaker 2 (33:13):
Yeah, it's called a spinal cord.
Speaker 1 (33:14):
And is it proportional to the-?
Speaker 2 (33:16):
I assume that there would be a thin membrane.
Speaker 1 (33:19):
Just to the spinal cord, and the sound would
vibrate the base of my spinalcord.
Speaker 2 (33:22):
Okay, At which point it would transfer up to your
brain.
Speaker 1 (33:25):
I'm not a doctor, adam all right and you're not
either.
No offense, you're not whoa,now you're throwing everyone in
your family has been not you.
So hey, now that hurts, thathurts.
Speaker 2 (33:36):
I'm working hard towards my doctorate in ear
drumology well, when you getdone, then we can finally
complete my back ear dream.
Okay, I will, I will tell youonce I have a degree in
philosophy, then we can finallycomplete my back ear dream.
Speaker 1 (33:45):
Okay, I will tell you once I have a degree in
philosophy, and then you cancome over and we will install a
rat ear on your back.
Speaker 2 (33:53):
Here's my big move.
This is my big move with theladies.
I'll be like would you like meto lend you an ear?
And they'll say yes, and thenI'll pull my shirt off real fast
.
Speaker 1 (34:00):
And I'll be like turn around.
Speaker 2 (34:20):
I'll be like Whoa Turn around.
Speaker 1 (34:22):
I'll be like they say size matters.
So check out this big boy, andthey're like oh, and then it's
your, a giant ear back, andyou're.
If they're like, oh, my god,although some people might be
sexually into ears and that,though, that's how you'd have
that subculture just on lock, Iwould, you'd be like their god
(34:44):
totally you'd be there slide upto lady.
Speaker 2 (34:45):
I'd be like do you like nickelback?
And they'd be like you know,and I'd be like um, okay, well,
I was, I planned, I was gonna,my segue was gonna go off of you
say never mind, all right, I'lltalk to you later, bye how
about ear back?
Yeah, that's where I was goingokay, okay, scott, we did it.
Speaker 1 (35:04):
We saw the universe.
So how was that?
How was that?
Traveling to the other universe?
A little weird you know I don'tmind, it's all the same.
Speaker 2 (35:11):
Do I get any frequent flyer miles?
No, I guess not, because samelongitude latitude, same
longitude.
Speaker 1 (35:15):
Yep, you didn't travel a single mile, not even a
single inch.
Speaker 2 (35:19):
It was not bad.
I think we could do it here.
We just have to start bypositioning, like you say.
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (35:26):
Children.
You didn't bring up what Ithought you would, which is, the
Democrats can have a hard timebeing pro-choice and then try to
claim that they're pro-children.
I think the Republicans wouldtry to rub their noses in that
and say, oh, you're killingbabies but then you're claiming
to be pro-child.
So here's the other provision Iwould add to this thing.
So here's the other provisionCool, cool.
(35:47):
Identify the causes of abortionsocially, societal causes of
abortion, right, and thenactually put into this bill
money to reduce those causes.
So you're saying we're going toleave it legal and open and
anyone can get an abortion.
But what actually causes peopleto have abortions?
(36:08):
Lack of contraception, lack ofsex ed training, lack of ability
to pay for another kid, whichthis would all help, so you
could even tell the people whoare pro-life.
Hey, we agree with you.
We think abortion is bad, butwe don't want to make it illegal
, but we do want to make less ofit happen and therefore we have
(36:28):
this whole part of this bill inthere to reduce the number of
abortions.
We think this will reduce thenumber of abortions
significantly.
So I think you could actuallystill swing it.
Okay, yeah, all right.
Anyways, we did it we did it Allright.
Sounds Anyways, we did it.
We did it.
All right, sounds good, we'llcome on back, we'll do it again
next week.
All right, thanks everybody forcoming along on the ride-along
(36:50):
episode.
All right, bye everybody.
Thank you.
Well, hey, scott, hello, good to see you Good to
be seen.
Thank you, you looking fit asper usual, Thank you.
Speaker 2 (00:10):
Very fit.
We're a couple of fit peoplenow yeah.
Speaker 1 (00:15):
I've been doing some squats.
I've been doing CrossFit again.
Speaker 2 (00:17):
You've been eating your vegetables, you've been
doing.
Speaker 1 (00:19):
CrossFit yeah.
Speaker 2 (00:21):
Again A little bit.
Speaker 1 (00:22):
Yeah, I did CrossFit during COVID and then it sort of
stopped because I got bannedlow-key.
Then I went to.
Then I found another gym whereI was not.
No, we're going to glaze overthat.
We're going to glaze overgetting banned from CrossFit.
Speaker 2 (00:36):
Yeah, okay, cool, cool, cool.
Not interested at all.
Cool, cool, cool, cool, cool,cool.
Sure, there's no storywhatsoever.
Speaker 1 (00:41):
There really isn't.
Oh yeah, I was just doing themoves.
I was too strong for CrossFitand they were like you have to
leave.
Speaker 2 (00:51):
You did one push-up and they were like it's perfect,
it's perfect, it's everythingyou don't need to be here
anymore.
Speaker 1 (00:56):
Please leave, you're banned.
Speaker 2 (00:58):
You're dismissed.
You're done.
You've reached the end offitness.
We refuse to train you anymore.
Speaker 1 (01:04):
Would you train us?
Speaker 2 (01:04):
You're like I didn't come here for that.
Speaker 1 (01:08):
They're like then you have to go because you make us
look bad.
I wish it were something thatpositive.
It was more like I was weak andI had this wrist pain that I
thought was carpal tunnel Turnsout it was tendonitis and I've
since cured myself.
But back then I had this painin my hands and just weakness.
And also I'm just like verytall, and just taller than like
everybody and so they were.
(01:30):
They were saying like, do themoves a certain way right, and I
like didn't feel safe, like Ifelt I was gonna injure myself
if I did them the exact way thatthey told me.
So I just would like modifywhat they would do very little
modifications, but like like wewere supposed to put the bar
above our heads and do a squat.
I couldn't do that, so I putthe bar on my shoulders and did
the same squat and literallywhen I did that, one of the
(01:53):
coaches came up to me and saidif you're not going to do the
moves the way I tell you youcan't come to any of my classes
anymore.
Just don't come to my classes,which I thought was bizarre.
Speaker 2 (02:04):
Okay, an extreme it's the one I yeah.
Speaker 1 (02:07):
So when I went and told like the boss type person,
like hey, this coach liketotally disrespected me and like
told me that I couldn't adjustthe movements for like my own
safety, he literally sided withthe coach.
He was like, well, if that'swhat the coach said, then yeah,
I guess you can't sign up forany of her coat, any of her
classes anymore, and and shetaught classes like three times
a day, so there was only liketwo other classes each day that
(02:29):
I could have gone to.
Speaker 2 (02:30):
Did they high five and call you yeah, I guess, yeah
, right, look at this, look atthis wimp.
Speaker 1 (02:44):
So today I thought we'd do something a little
differently, scott, I thoughtI'd bring you along on my
journeys through the multiverse.
Speaker 2 (02:51):
Oh, okay, yeah, I could open the portal.
It is summer, so it's time forvacation, that's right.
Speaker 1 (02:56):
Well, we're not going to go anywhere, we're going to
be exactly where we are.
Speaker 2 (02:59):
You just said you were going to bring me along.
Speaker 1 (03:01):
I know, but technically we'll be physically
latitude, longitude in the samecoordinate Technically.
Speaker 2 (03:06):
if you say you're going to bring me somewhere and
I say I'm ready to go, and youtry to correct me and you're
like we're not going anywhere,I'm going to get a little
persnickety.
Speaker 1 (03:16):
You're confused, it's okay.
It's your first time traversingthe multiverse.
Speaker 2 (03:20):
All right, so bringing me nowhere, go ahead.
What are you doing?
Same latitude, longitude, sure,different universe, so that
counts right.
Same latitude, same longitude.
Latitude different attitudeyeah, exactly yes, is that what
we're doing?
Attitude yeah, okay, so what?
Speaker 1 (03:38):
we're gonna do is we're gonna go to in this other
universe and then, uh, we're notgonna.
I I've already asked, I'vealready been there, so I know
what the solution is.
Okay, and I've asked the otheradam to just leave us alone
because it'd be too confusing tohave two adams talking.
And, uh, you know, you don'twant that.
Speaker 2 (03:55):
No, no, no, no.
Have you seen time cop?
Speaker 1 (03:57):
I think you could get a real stick and his life is
like not good, so we don't wanthim around like that.
Adam screwed up his lifecompletely, so we don't want him
around like that.
Adam screwed up his lifecompletely, so we don't need him
around now you're saying notlike this one, no, this adam,
I'm like a middle of the pack,adam.
There's other atoms who arelike way, like successful and
like, oh my god you're average.
There's like atoms, who are likeway down.
(04:19):
Yeah, I'm like average adam,i'm'm average in some ways
You're the mean Adam.
Speaker 2 (04:25):
No.
Speaker 1 (04:25):
I'm a nice Adam.
Speaker 2 (04:26):
But like no in a math .
Speaker 1 (04:27):
No, I'm saying in a math way.
No, I'm very nice, no, in amath you're the mean Adam.
I've made a few choices as anAdam that put me in the middle
of the pack let's just put itthat way A few.
Speaker 2 (04:40):
A few real middle of the pack choices.
Yeah, real.
Speaker 1 (04:45):
Okay, so let's go through the portal and then I
can sort of tell you about thatuniverse.
I guess maybe this isn't theright universe to do this with,
but let's try it and maybe we'lldo it in the future more when
it's more.
Speaker 2 (05:01):
All right, I'm in hey what's that big glowing?
You don't have to make thatnoise.
We walked.
No, I do have to make that you.
For you, it's new, yeahmandatory.
Speaker 1 (05:13):
Okay, so in this universe, uh there, the the
what's different about thisuniverse is, among other things,
that, um, a few years ago, whenin our universe it's very
similar universes, the onlything is different is that a few
years ago, when our democratswere trying to do the build back
(05:34):
better plan, remember, thatyeah, this universe.
Instead, their democrats did abill of rights for children Okay
, and because they did that, itwas a massive success
politically because they wereable to get even Republicans
(05:55):
some Republicans to join it.
Because the Republicans wantedto seem pro-child Okay, and they
were able to get.
Politically, they were able towin elections because of the
success of being a pro-child,pro-family party.
They were able to wrestle awayfrom the Republicans the
(06:15):
perception that the Republicanswere pro-family and instead now
the Democrats are clearly themost pro-family party in this
universe.
Ah yeah.
Speaker 2 (06:24):
Interesting episode of Sl universe.
Ah yeah, interesting episode ofSliders.
Okay, exactly so.
So what is it we can talk aboutit.
Speaker 1 (06:35):
What is in the Children's Bill of Rights?
Speaker 2 (06:37):
would be the obvious first question that I would have
.
Speaker 1 (06:40):
Well, first of all, congratulations everyone here.
Speaker 2 (06:42):
Yes, good job, so great.
Speaker 1 (06:43):
All the children are protected and safe.
Speaker 2 (06:46):
Yeah, How's that climate change going?
Oh, still the Okay cool.
Speaker 1 (06:50):
Well, good luck with that no, so they actually were
able to include climate changein the challenge of the Bill of
Rights.
Well, they were able to, inaddition to what's been done
with the IRA right, theinflation reduction.
Speaker 2 (07:02):
Irish Republican which has right the the
inflation reduction.
Speaker 1 (07:03):
Irish republican, which has a lot of yeah, you got
to keep those separate whichhas a lot of provisions for
climate change stuff not as muchas we need.
They were able to add even moreinto the through the children's
uh bill of rights, becausechildren have the right to to
fix the climate of and right nowwe don't let them environment
(07:26):
there.
Speaker 2 (07:26):
We just don't let them fix the climate today we
don't care about.
Speaker 1 (07:30):
I mean, we don't care about children because the the
republicans cosplay is caringabout children and the democrats
say that they pay lip serviceto caring about children.
Sure, but then neither partyactually like commits really to
protecting children.
And so if the democratsactually did it, because the
children have no rights adam,they don't vote.
Speaker 2 (07:48):
They don't have any right.
Don't vote.
Nobody's giving them a bill ofrights and so we don't have to
protect them, right?
Is that where you're?
Speaker 1 (07:54):
going, yeah, but it turns out that there's this
latent or even sometimes verypublicly clear uh value in
american political.
You know people that theyreally care about children, baby
boomers who are old.
They care about children, theirgrandparents, their parents
themselves almost or if you careabout this.
(08:15):
You know beloved the, you knowpolitical people love the
suburban vote.
Right, they want this suburbanmiddle class vote.
Suburbanites all have kids.
They care about kids.
They want their kids to beprotected they all have kids.
Speaker 2 (08:29):
Let's not, let's not say they necessarily care about
those kids, but they all they doall have kids.
They're a part of their lives.
Speaker 1 (08:36):
The children are part of their lives and they might
want their children to be likeeasier to deal with well, they
definitely want the kids weresafer and better provided for,
right then it would be better.
So one thing that this Bill ofRights did was it made permanent
the child tax credit, which wasso popular during COVID.
This became part of that bill,which was a huge boon and win
(08:59):
for Democrats, because itotherwise would have been a huge
loss.
Like in our universe, peoplegot given that tax credit under
Trump and now they got itremoved under Biden.
So for them, it felt likeactually Biden took away their
tax credit for children, so itreinforced this idea that Biden
was behind.
So that was one thing.
The other thing is, yeah, theywere able to put in climate
(09:20):
change provisions, because it'sa right of children to have a
climate that's predictable andlivable and not just like a Mad
Max barren wasteland full ofrefugees.
Right?
Speaker 2 (09:30):
Yeah, because one of the rights in the Children's
Bill of Rights will be like youhave to get the climate right.
That's now your job is to fixthe climate for us, the older.
Speaker 1 (09:41):
Yeah, obviously we couldn't do it, so the children
have to go and do it, yeah,instead of the old people.
Yeah, we couldn't, obviously wecouldn't do it.
So, so the children have to go.
Yeah, do it.
Speaker 2 (09:46):
Yeah, instead of the old people doing it turns out,
the climate is made of tinyspaces that need small hands and
and little arms to reach in andfix it snow piercer.
Is that what you're, snowpiercer?
Speaker 1 (09:59):
it's snow piercer, snow piercer uh-huh Totally,
they could have called this theSnowpiercer Act.
The SPA, very pro-SPA grouphere.
Speaker 2 (10:12):
So okay.
So what else the right tofreedom of?
Speaker 1 (10:14):
speech.
Is that in there?
Well, that's already there.
We already have that from theFirst Amendment.
Also there's nothing aboutchildren in particular that they
need that.
Their speech is usually quitegarbled actually, oh okay, so
they probably don't need.
Speaker 2 (10:27):
Do they have the right to bear arms as children?
Speaker 1 (10:35):
They do have the right to bear arms?
No, they don't.
But what's important is guncontrol, because not gun control
for the hunter in Montana whowants to own a bunch of guns,
but gun control as it pertainsspecifically to the rights of
children, which currently thegreatest cause of death among
children is gun violence.
That's the highest cause ofdeath among people under 18,
which is bananas.
(10:55):
I mean that's completelybananas, right?
I mean you and I don't have toargue about that.
Speaker 2 (11:00):
It's depressing.
We both agree already, right,of course.
Speaker 1 (11:02):
So in this bill, democrats very carefully crafted
gun control measures that wouldonly affect Americans, children
being affected by gun violence.
It wouldn't affect any kind ofyou know whatever militant crazy
people who like guns, gun nutswho are having their guns.
It wouldn't affect them at all.
Speaker 2 (11:23):
It just affects children being affected by gun
violence which is very hard toargue against even as for gun
supporters, some people are not,but it's very universal.
Speaker 1 (11:33):
Yeah, it's pretty universal.
So these were able to be passedand so schools shootings are,
in this universe, are at an alltime or not all time low, but
are going down.
They're going down because fora year now already, two years
now already, there's alreadybeen these provisos that prevent
the things that lead to gunviolence among children For
(11:54):
example, to have funding for redflag programs in schools where
schools can register if theydetect red flags for gun
violence among the students, andthen the students who get three
red flags, the police show upat their door and confiscate all
the kids' guns or assess theaccess that child has to guns.
That's a thing that researchhas shown can dramatically
(12:19):
reduce gun violence in schoolsis these red flag laws, and so
this provided the money forthere to be red flag laws across
the whole country, for example.
Speaker 2 (12:30):
Sweet.
Speaker 1 (12:30):
And other things too, but specifically, everything
was just to try to protectchildren from guns.
So we can help the climate, wecan put in provisos to protect
children from gun violence, andthen children also suffer.
We can keep the child credit,which reduced child poverty by
50%, but we need to get childpoverty down completely.
(12:53):
We need to eliminate childpoverty entirely in order for it
to have this Bill of Rights.
So we have to get rid of thatother 50% of child poverty down
completely.
We need to eliminate childpoverty entirely in order for it
to have this bill of rights.
Speaker 2 (12:58):
So we have to get rid of that other 50% of child
poverty.
We want rich children.
Speaker 1 (13:01):
Well, we want healthy children, for sure, I don't
know Super rich, like richy richstyle.
That's what you're hearing.
Yeah, blank check.
Speaker 2 (13:11):
Yeah, they can't get their wallet closed because it's
full of so many dollar bills.
Speaker 1 (13:16):
yeah, those type what kind of bling do these children
have?
I mean, what are they?
I guess like pop pokemon, uhbling, maybe some am I dating
myself now.
Are kids still doing pokemon?
Speaker 2 (13:28):
do kids have their right to wear bling and the new
bill of rights and the kids billright, one of the main bills.
Speaker 1 (13:32):
That's one of the main things.
Speaker 2 (13:33):
That's the every kid gets a grill just like kanye
grill, full, full, yeah, yeah,yeah, yeah, so okay, so we have
to get rid of the other half.
Okay, go ahead.
So wait, so this is cool.
You showed me this really coolplace.
I assume I have to go home atsome point to my universe.
Speaker 1 (13:53):
Yeah, you're we.
You don't want to meet you here.
Speaker 2 (13:55):
He's very successful.
This you said in this universe.
He's like lambos and justlambos crazy I think if you see
a tiny human, how does he fitinside?
Speaker 1 (14:08):
they make custom lambos for him that fit his
enormous body.
Wow that is important.
Oh my gosh custom ibo.
I think if you stayed in thisuniverse we'd have a ripley
scenario.
Have you been watching ripleyon netflix?
Speaker 2 (14:21):
no, I have not it's.
Speaker 1 (14:22):
It's a retelling of the movie, the or the book the
talented mr ripley.
So it's oh yeah, so you would.
This would definitely be aripley scenario.
You would be like, well, hey,mr maupin, and he'd be like you,
look just like he put a bagover his head.
Speaker 2 (14:40):
I thought it was going to be a Ripley scenario
where the other me opens hismouth real wide and then another
tiny mouth comes out and thenthat mouth opens up, not just a
mouth, a whole other Scott head,a tiny little Scott head.
And then that mouth opens up.
It's like ah, I think we'retalking about different Ripley's
, I think that's possible.
Speaker 1 (14:57):
I think that tiny little Scott head would open up
his mouth and be like oh hey,man, you want to go do some.
Speaker 2 (15:04):
Brazilian jiu-jitsu.
Speaker 1 (15:06):
No, the tiny little Scott head would just say bro he
would say bro Bro bro, bro, bro, bro, bro, bro, bro, and then I
would eat you.
That's a different Ripley,that's the alien Ripley.
Speaker 2 (15:22):
That's the alien Ripley.
Talented Mr Ripley.
Speaker 1 (15:25):
Yes, which is very good on Netflix I'm talking
about.
Speaker 2 (15:27):
It's black and white, ms Ripley.
Honestly, I'm being moreprogressive.
Yes, you can talk about mrripley if you want to talented
very good.
Speaker 1 (15:39):
It's black and white.
Is that it's good?
It's good.
I think it starts out a littlebit the cinematography.
They kind of were kind ofwrangling I think how to do it
right in the first episode.
But then it settles down andgets really good after nice,
yeah, they still.
They still sometimes make it alittle bit too sharp and you can
kind of tell that it's likedigital and they just made it
black and white, but but theyoften muddy it up enough so that
(16:00):
it so that it it looks good.
So yeah, but okay, so yeah sowhat are we gonna do?
Speaker 2 (16:06):
we have to go back to our universe.
In our universe, people don'tcare about children.
Speaker 1 (16:10):
Wait, you said this republicans steal a lot of votes
from the republic, butdemocrats, by convincing people
in the american public that theyactually care about children
because they hate trans peopleor something like, they don't
actually do anything to actuallyhelp children.
They don't increase funding forchildren's lunches or increase
funding for children's educationright or increase funding for
(16:31):
children's care or their healthcare or their child care.
No, they don't do any of that.
They just say trans people aredangerous for your children,
okay, which somehow then makesthem seem like they're they're
the moral, like childrenprotectors.
It's very strange what?
Speaker 2 (16:47):
so you said, this all started back at the build back
better time.
What, yeah, what are we talking?
Is that?
Speaker 1 (16:52):
so that was 2020, 2020, and they were trying to.
So our world did build backbetter, their world did, or
universe did child human yeah,children's bill of rights.
So they came forward and bidenso it's not too late, and it's
only been four years bernie andbiden both went out and they
both said we are presenting the.
(17:13):
You know, biden presented itfirst and then bernie presented
it after they used the.
Bernie was included a lot in it,but also right-wing children
protector people were includedin it, you know right people who
say I stand for my familyvalues and children, and they
even put things in there thatmaybe are a little bit more kind
of right wing, like money forchurches to provide care to
(17:37):
children, like child care, andit's like, oh, I don't know, the
left-wing people might not besuper happy with like churches
providing like christian childcare, but they still put it in
there because they wanted tocreate that we're going to help
children in a right wing and aleft wing way, so it's very kind
of open-minded interesting,okay, so how do we start?
Speaker 2 (17:58):
we?
Speaker 1 (17:59):
we have to rally those forces well wait, I gotta
talk about one more thing theydid.
That was really smart becausethe child tax credit which in
covid gave gave like somethinglike eight hundred dollars or
some.
No, something like three or,000or $4,000 per kid per family
per year back through a taxcredit and the projections were
(18:21):
that that would reduce childpoverty by 50%.
So if they made that permanent,child poverty is still 50%.
We need to get it to zero.
So this provision alsoidentified key things that keep
children in child poverty, whichhas to do with homeless, rent,
support.
Speaker 2 (18:42):
They're bad at gambling probably.
Speaker 1 (18:44):
Being bad at getting.
Yeah, this is.
Children's gambling lessons isa key proviso.
Speaker 2 (18:50):
They make foolish bets and you're like you, child
Fools, you absolute child Fools.
Speaker 1 (18:56):
What are you doing?
That's right.
So, for example, uh, uh, rentsupport is one of the best ways
to keep people housed.
So people generally who becomeunhoused generally, uh, they
become unhoused because they'reliving paycheck to paycheck and
then something happens and theyhave to pay for that and the
rent is a huge chunk Right.
(19:17):
So what they did was say it weshould provide this for everyone
.
But because the Democratswanted to create a children's
bill of rights.
If you have a child, there is afederal rent support money you
can get, and all you have to dois send in.
I need to pay my rent and I havehere's my children.
(19:38):
You know, you know.
Here's my proof I have children.
I don't here's my bank account.
I don't have any money.
I need to make rent.
Can I get the rent support?
And they put you on the rentsupport for a year, no questions
asked, because keeping thechild homed is so important and
that child has a right tohousing.
They must, you must, supportthe parent who has children with
(19:59):
the rent support.
But it's not like welfare.
Oh, you just have kids, youjust get money, because that
creates what the right wingconsiders welfare, welfare
queens and stuff.
Speaker 2 (20:09):
But it does seem like an attractive offer because you
basically get a year of freerent.
Speaker 1 (20:14):
No, it's not free, it's just subsidized.
How do you mean subsidized?
Speaker 2 (20:18):
It's just like if your rent is, you know, a
thousand bucks a month, you're,you'd get 300 bucks it's not,
it's not like free rent, yeah oh, well, then I would want to do
that too, because I could dobetter if, if you could qualify
for it, you get it how would Iqualify?
Speaker 1 (20:34):
because I'll do this you'd have to submit.
Well, it's not, it's on this.
Well, in our universe itdoesn't exist.
We want it though.
So what would I dohypothetically?
I don't know exactly, but Iknow that I read the book
Evicted, which is quite a goodbook about homelessness, ok, and
at the very end of that book hesolutions Like.
The whole book is just kind oflike poverty pornography, like
(20:56):
he just describes people, super,super poor people living in
horrible conditions.
But then at the very, very, very, very end he actually says,
like in 25 pages.
At the end he's like, okay,here's actually what we could do
to solve homelessness.
And one of his key things hesaid the number one thing that
he recommends is this rentsupport.
And so it's.
It's been done.
This is a problem that'salready been solved.
(21:17):
How it operates, how exactly itworks it's all been solved and
it works really well to keeppeople homed and it doesn't
create welfare queens, itdoesn't create bad incentives or
whatever.
Nice.
But now we're going to justlimit it to just children,
because it's the rights ofchildren to have a home.
The deadbeat dad yeah, yeah,might be a deadbeat.
(21:41):
We're not going to try to keepdeadbeat dad.
Should we make the child liveby themselves, like in their own
place?
Yeah, little little kid homes,little, oh, like those tiny
houses they haven't, because fora kid that's a huge house.
Tiny house, tiny house forchildren tiny house for children
, little tiny house villages fortime and then their parents can
like visit them uh-huh, if theylive, if they're cool enough.
Speaker 2 (21:55):
But these kids are like rich they're not in the
poverty zone anymore, Rightexactly.
Speaker 1 (21:59):
And then the same thing for food stamps, and the
same thing for, you know yeah,food stamps.
Speaker 2 (22:07):
Necessities and education support yeah,
necessities.
Speaker 1 (22:09):
Healthcare is already pretty well protected for kids
through Medicaid not medicarebut medicaid, which is for poor
people but it's also forchildren, so you can.
So pretty much children havealready pretty much free health
care through socialized healthcare, through medicaid cool.
But this bill went, goesfurther and beefed up those
supports for children andmedicaid.
(22:30):
It gives the kids steroids sothere's like extra health.
Speaker 2 (22:33):
They're gonna be children ripped.
Speaker 1 (22:35):
That's what children are gonna be lifting cars and
we're walking around thisuniverse and we are just very
impressed with the, the, the,the guns on these children, not
not handguns we remember we'vealready removed the handguns
from children but the biceps,the triceps, yeah, I've got my
own team of like x-men that Icarry with me to like take care
(22:57):
of any sort of a situation thatarises.
They have 3D deltoids frontdeltoid, side deltoid and even
that back deltoid.
I mean those shoulders areimpressive.
Speaker 2 (23:08):
We're talking like a full-on Stephen Platt drawing
like Prophet Fritz Wright in hisheyday pouches everywhere,
pouches, pouches.
Reference makes sense to veryfew people, but if you get it,
these kids have pouches, theyhave pouches?
Speaker 1 (23:23):
Yeah no, these kids are ripped and that's largely
because of this bill giving themstrength training.
Speaker 2 (23:31):
But yeah anyways.
Speaker 1 (23:31):
OK, so that drove child poverty in America.
Projected to drive childpoverty in America down to zero
Good housing, no childhoodpoverty.
Improve their health care andthen child care, universal child
care.
So a child who doesn't getadequate child care isn't
(23:53):
healthy, isn't safe.
Speaker 2 (23:54):
And a family that doesn't have child care
sometimes can't have someonework a job and hold down a
stable living.
Speaker 1 (24:02):
So it includes universal child care and it
includes maternity and paternitypaid leave.
Look at that, because the childhas a right to the parent, not
the parent has a right topaternity and maternity leave.
That is not the right way to doit in America, because in
America, people don't care aboutthe parents.
(24:23):
They think the parents are justdirtbags.
They don't care but people.
They think the parents are justdirt bags, they don't care, but
people care about children.
So what you say is this is achild, this is the children's
bill of rights.
The child has a right to theirmother being there for the first
six months of their life.
The child has a right to theirfather being there for the first
six months of their life.
Therefore, each mother andfather deserve, fifth, you know,
(24:45):
six months or whatever it is.
I think six months would be aminimum six months paid
maternity, paternity leave useit or lose it, can't transfer it
, the father can't transfer tothe mother, blah, blah, blah.
So that's the children's billof rights it would.
They made compromises.
They got whittled things down.
They wanted more gun controlthat got whittled down.
They wanted more health carethat got whittled down.
(25:06):
You know, it went, got whittleddown, but by and large they
made child, they eliminatedchild poverty and they made
children, childhood in americasafer, healthier and and and
better and now their streets areoverrun with children.
Speaker 2 (25:22):
It's horrible.
They don't know what to to do.
These children need to bestopped.
People are running into them ontheir cars everywhere, because
they're just flooding.
They can't control it.
How?
Speaker 1 (25:32):
can you miss them?
I mean, how can you not hitthem?
Speaker 2 (25:34):
Yeah, child infestation Okay.
Speaker 1 (25:36):
Right.
Speaker 2 (25:36):
So we need something.
How are we going to fix?
Well, I guess it's not ouruniverse, right, they have to
make another law.
Speaker 1 (25:47):
Yeah Child bill of fewer rights.
Well, it's more like increasingthe rights to hit them with
your car.
That's what they do.
Speaker 2 (25:53):
Yeah, that's this universe, though they're weird
here.
You just need a yeah, you needan automobile bill of rights.
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (26:00):
The car has the right .
Speaker 2 (26:01):
Self-defense.
Speaker 1 (26:02):
Self-defense against small children.
Speaker 2 (26:06):
The two-ton automobile has.
Okay, yeah, actually this is abad topic.
Speaker 1 (26:09):
This might sell lucy k's never mind, I won't say lucy
k's joke about murdering.
No, this is bad.
This is actually bad, see,because people don't like
murdering children this is whyyou use the children's bill of
rights, particularly bad rightnow.
This is bad.
Oh really, did children justget hit by a car?
Speaker 2 (26:26):
no, but there were recent children stuff oh no,
yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 1 (26:31):
I don't watch the news, it's okay, so I'm just
ignorant anyways.
Yeah, so this is what they did.
Isn't this clever?
So the democrats not only didthey get across this raft of
policies that support a sort offreer, safer form of life for
children but they alsoestablished themselves
(26:51):
unequivocally as the party ofchildren and families, by
extension families, and thatlets them then cruise into
political debates across America, in suburban areas, in rural
areas as well as in urban areas,where they already dominate.
They are mopping up because ofthat.
Speaker 2 (27:14):
Cool.
Well, I'm sure nothing would gowrong from a lopsided political
structure, but we haven't hadone in a while.
Really it's been kind of, eventhough I feel like the
demographic of the population ispretty lopsided, one-sided
toward the other.
Then it feels like the.
(27:35):
I think the political thing isthey always want to keep it,
even for some reason, which isfrustrating, even how Like they
just wanted to always be like 50, 50, to be like nobody has a
dominant they want it that way.
Speaker 1 (27:53):
No, democrats want to win, republicans want to win,
they want to totally take over.
Speaker 2 (27:57):
I know both sides want to, but like it seems like
they're, it seems like no, Idon't know.
Speaker 1 (28:05):
I don't know what I'm saying you think there's a
smoke filled room full of lizardmen.
No, I don't think there's asmoke, but I'm saying like it.
Speaker 2 (28:11):
There's a feeling that it should be half and half,
so that neither side can reallyjust run the table on the other
side despite there, just likethere's going to be something
wrong with giving too much powerto either side.
But but it's not representative.
Speaker 1 (28:26):
The Democrats ran the table for 20 years.
I mean from Clinton all the waythrough, you know Clinton
through Obama.
They just rocked.
Speaker 2 (28:35):
Well, no.
Speaker 1 (28:35):
Clinton was George Bush in the middle, but for
Clinton for eight years he hadlike super majorities and
president and you know.
So I mean there's been timeswhere people have power and they
have power when they betterserve the people.
That's the democracy.
So when the parties find a wayto communicate with the people
in such a way that they canserve the people, then they win.
(28:56):
And I think the Democratsespecially are missing the boat
here right now.
On people's, I think we'restarting to live in sort of the
children of men.
Have you seen that movie?
Yes right now on people's.
I think we're starting to livein sort of the children of men.
Have you seen that movie?
Yes, I think we're kind of inthe children of men already,
because the birth rate is so lowamong so many people that we're
already starting to think ofchildren like in children of men
.
Remember, we're like childrenand children of men were like
(29:17):
these precious things that, likeeverybody, was like really
careful with and cared about.
I feel like we're getting tothat.
I mean, it's proportional, butwe're kind of getting to that
point, whereas a hundred yearsago it was like children.
They just work on farms andfactories and like who cares?
They're everywhere.
Everyone has 10 children.
Who cares?
You know?
Speaker 2 (29:37):
like they're not precious, they don't have.
Speaker 1 (29:40):
It was a lot yeah, and they died right.
But now it's like oh you know,people are only gonna have like
one to three children, right,and three is like a lot already,
so like one or two, so if a kiddies or if a kid's in trouble
or anything, yeah much troubleand people now are also starting
to get awake to the idea thatwe might not have an.
(30:01):
So, whereas some parts of theworld have an overpopulation
problem, other parts of theworld have an overpopulation
problem.
Other parts of the world havean underpopulation part of the
problem and that's the case insome parts regionally of the
United States and obviouslytotally in Korea and Italy and
various places where thepopulation is extremely falling
off a cliff.
I don't want to get into allthe questions around that, but
(30:24):
that's still something that thiscan speak to.
I don't think you want toaddress that in this bill.
There's no reason to.
In America we have immigrationand we have plenty of birth
overall average over everyone,but I think it speaks to that
issue.
For populations who areconcerned about that.
You can say we're going tosupport children.
(30:44):
We're going to make it easierto have children for people,
make children's lives safer andbetter, which makes the parents
less, you know, more comfortablehaving one more or two more
children than what about?
Speaker 2 (30:55):
what about then?

Okay for all young people.
Speaker 1 (31:02):
I'm saying in order to increase their sexual
progress, their sexualdesirability right, everyone's a
super hot like okay a super hothunky man or lady, well
remember how we said we're gonnagive.
Remember how we're gonna givethe weight, the weight training
lessons, to the kids.
That means, when they're older,already got it it.

Yeah, then are you just like Play this all the way
out for me, scott?

which brings about theproduction of children.

don't they?
Hotter people?
Speaker 2 (31:48):

I don't have a lot hard bodies.
I don't take a lot of data onthis hard bodies heaving in the
night.
Speaker 1 (31:54):
I don't know.
I don't know what the researchsays about that.
We'd have to run a study, scottlet's run a surgery, all right
you don't need it, scott.
You're beefy, you're strong andthin.
Speaker 2 (32:04):
Look at you?
No idea, I want to have extraarms okay, well, that's not
plastic surgery.
That's one of those rat ear,like the ears like they put on
the backs of rats.
I want one of those on my back.
Speaker 1 (32:15):
I'm an audio a giant ear or a small one?
Speaker 2 (32:17):
oh, I want like a human size one, or you want like
proportional, the rat's bodythe way it looks like on the
rats that they graft them onto.
Speaker 1 (32:24):
Okay, apropos of this conversation, I just want to
tell you, scott, that this willnot increase your creation of
progeny, though this will notincrease the sexual Wait, the
giant ear on my back part.
I don't think that's like athing.
Right now that's not trendy.
I'm not saying it's bad, I'mjust saying right now it's not
the trend.
Speaker 2 (32:44):
Oh, I was thinking it would be really good to hear
all the compliments for peopletalking about how cool my back
looks, yeah, behind your back.
Do you see this guy?
He's got a giant ear on hisback.
That is really cool, like Iwish I you know.
Speaker 1 (32:59):
So wait, the ear can actually hear too.
It's not just like a formfactor.
Well, it doesn't obviouslyconnect to my ear drums but it
has like a membrane that wouldthere's another inner ear in
your back.
Speaker 2 (33:13):
Yeah, it's called a spinal cord.
Speaker 1 (33:14):
And is it proportional to the-?
Speaker 2 (33:16):
I assume that there would be a thin membrane.
Speaker 1 (33:19):
Just to the spinal cord, and the sound would
vibrate the base of my spinalcord.
Speaker 2 (33:22):
Okay, At which point it would transfer up to your
brain.
Speaker 1 (33:25):
I'm not a doctor, adam all right and you're not
either.
No offense, you're not whoa,now you're throwing everyone in
your family has been not you.
So hey, now that hurts, thathurts.
Speaker 2 (33:36):
I'm working hard towards my doctorate in ear
drumology well, when you getdone, then we can finally
complete my back ear dream.
Okay, I will, I will tell youonce I have a degree in
philosophy, then we can finallycomplete my back ear dream.
Speaker 1 (33:45):
Okay, I will tell you once I have a degree in
philosophy, and then you cancome over and we will install a
rat ear on your back.
Speaker 2 (33:53):
Here's my big move.
This is my big move with theladies.
I'll be like would you like meto lend you an ear?
And they'll say yes, and thenI'll pull my shirt off real fast
.
Speaker 1 (34:00):
And I'll be like turn around.
Speaker 2 (34:20):
I'll be like Whoa Turn around.
Speaker 1 (34:22):
I'll be like they say size matters.
So check out this big boy, andthey're like oh, and then it's
your, a giant ear back, andyou're.
If they're like, oh, my god,although some people might be
sexually into ears and that,though, that's how you'd have
that subculture just on lock, Iwould, you'd be like their god
(34:44):
totally you'd be there slide upto lady.
Speaker 2 (34:45):
I'd be like do you like nickelback?
And they'd be like you know,and I'd be like um, okay, well,
I was, I planned, I was gonna,my segue was gonna go off of you
say never mind, all right, I'lltalk to you later, bye how
about ear back?
Yeah, that's where I was goingokay, okay, scott, we did it.
Speaker 1 (35:04):
We saw the universe.
So how was that?
How was that?
Traveling to the other universe?
A little weird you know I don'tmind, it's all the same.
Speaker 2 (35:11):
Do I get any frequent flyer miles?
No, I guess not, because samelongitude latitude, same
longitude.
Speaker 1 (35:15):
Yep, you didn't travel a single mile, not even a
single inch.
Speaker 2 (35:19):
It was not bad.
I think we could do it here.
We just have to start bypositioning, like you say.
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (35:26):
Children.
You didn't bring up what Ithought you would, which is, the
Democrats can have a hard timebeing pro-choice and then try to
claim that they're pro-children.
I think the Republicans wouldtry to rub their noses in that
and say, oh, you're killingbabies but then you're claiming
to be pro-child.
So here's the other provision Iwould add to this thing.
So here's the other provisionCool, cool.
(35:47):
Identify the causes of abortionsocially, societal causes of
abortion, right, and thenactually put into this bill
money to reduce those causes.
So you're saying we're going toleave it legal and open and
anyone can get an abortion.
But what actually causes peopleto have abortions?
(36:08):
Lack of contraception, lack ofsex ed training, lack of ability
to pay for another kid, whichthis would all help, so you
could even tell the people whoare pro-life.
Hey, we agree with you.
We think abortion is bad, butwe don't want to make it illegal
, but we do want to make less ofit happen and therefore we have
(36:28):
this whole part of this bill inthere to reduce the number of
abortions.
We think this will reduce thenumber of abortions
significantly.
So I think you could actuallystill swing it.
Okay, yeah, all right.
Anyways, we did it we did it Allright.
Sounds Anyways, we did it.
We did it.
All right, sounds good, we'llcome on back, we'll do it again
next week.
All right, thanks everybody forcoming along on the ride-along
(36:50):
episode.
All right, bye everybody.
Thank you.
