Speaker 1 (00:00):
Familiar Wilson's Media Relationships are the
story.
Speaker 2 (00:08):
You are made of meat, my friend all the way down.
Speaker 1 (00:10):
The following podcast uses words like and, and also
If you're not into any of thatshit, then now's your chance.
Speaker 2 (00:19):
Three, two, one run.
I'm super familiar with you,wilson, get it.
Speaker 3 (00:31):
Welcome to Super Familiar with the Wilsons.
I'm Amanda.
Speaker 1 (00:34):
And I'm Josh Amanda.
This is the podcast aboutMarriage 2.0 with kids and all
the side quests, so I have akids question for you here.
Okay, and this is actually.
This goes out to our listenersas well.
What is the deal with kidsreally, really, really really
wanting something to eat, likelet's say, oh, I don't know,
(00:55):
gelato Pitching a holy fit toget the gelato.
We finally pull over, stop at aplace that serves gelato, get
the gelato, and he eats threespoonfuls and says he's done.
Speaker 3 (01:09):
I was like this didn't happen, but it did.
I just I don't think of thisplace as a gelato place, but I
guess it is.
What do?
Speaker 1 (01:17):
you mean, this didn't happen.
This just happened on Saturday.
Speaker 3 (01:19):
But like I, just like gelato feels very Italian.
I forgot that you were talkingabout.
Like the Italian ice place wewent to.
Speaker 1 (01:26):
Yes.
Speaker 3 (01:26):
Yeah, but then he wound up having most of it.
I don't know.
I don't know.
Children want things that theythink that they want, but then
when they get it, they don'twant it.
The grass is greener always.
Speaker 1 (01:39):
Yes, the wanting is always stronger and better than
the having.
It's just freaking frustratingman.
We bend over backwards to tryto please this kid.
Well, you do, let's be clear.
You bend over backwards tryingto please this kid and it's just
not enough.
When do we stop, put our footdown and say enough is enough,
(02:02):
kid, now it's time for you to goout, earn your keep, start to
pay rent and then you can startto have a say.
When do we do that?
Speaker 3 (02:12):
because he's eight and I feel like that's really
close I mean I don't think hecan legally have a job until
he's like 14.
So in six years he can go belike a bag child at publics a A
bag child.
Speaker 1 (02:24):
That does not sound good, Well bag boy is not.
Speaker 3 (02:26):
this is like I don't want to make it gender specific
and you don't say bag girl, likethat bag lady is a bad thing,
so just a bag child.
Speaker 1 (02:35):
Very good, very good.
Other happenings in the worldof Wilson Amanda and I attended
a meeting of our neighbors.
Was that only just yesterday?
Speaker 3 (02:47):
No, pete, yeah, wow Today was a very long Monday.
Speaker 1 (02:51):
If you've been following along with our
adventures, you have heard ustalk about our ongoing
kerfluffle with the Fluffle's agood word.
With the people who are buildingthis development.
And I don't want to say toomuch, right, because I don't
know they might listen.
But one thing I will say,speaking of listening, is we had
(03:17):
a gathering of our neighbors tokind of talk about our HOA
situation and talk about thepeople who are developing this
neighborhood, and we did it atthe pool because there were,
because we, not we, they, theyinvited the whole neighborhood
and they didn't know how manypeople would show up And-.
Speaker 3 (03:41):
There were what like 10 or 12 of us.
Speaker 1 (03:42):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
So there were less than I thinkthat there could have been, but
they meaning the people whoorganized this meeting our
neighbors decided to do it atthe pool Right At the
neighborhood community pool Likeout, like under the like
overhang, sitting at tables.
Speaker 3 (03:57):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (03:58):
Which and I'm not concerned about the developers
or HOA people hearing this,because they know full well that
we met, because we were sittingthere at this table all airing
our grievances and getting toknow each other as neighbors and
why we're miserable rightunderneath a camera and
(04:21):
microphone that Do you know thatit had audio?
I'm quite certain it had audioAll right, because one of the
things that they complainedabout was the pool always being
dirty.
Yep.
And this meeting was yesterdayand today.
Someone put on the WhatsAppgroup.
Oh, they've put in a poolcleaner.
Speaker 3 (04:42):
Yeah, like this pool.
Cleaner we'd never seen beforeis all of a sudden at the bottom
of the pool All of a suddenlike materialized, but it's like
a tiny little one, like yousaid, like I think you called it
, like the Walmart Roomba.
It's tiny, but yeah.
So either there was sound orthey employed some sort of lip
reading software to figure out.
We were all saying that thepool was gross and dirty well,
(05:05):
that was one of the manycomplaints.
Speaker 1 (05:06):
We'll see if any of the other complaints um get get
addressed, but I will tell youthat this is the first time I've
ever been a part of a whatsappgroup like this, like I'm part
of whatsapp group with a bunchof podcasters who are now
friends, but it's different.
This is the first time I'veever been a part of a WhatsApp
group of people that I don'tknow and it's very interesting
(05:28):
because I feel like you'vecrossed a certain line when you
are now in a WhatsApp group likethat and I will tell you that I
threw my first little joke inthere this morning Nothing, they
are not having which fine, allbusiness, no personal it's fine.
They are not having which.
Fine, all business, no personal, it's fine.
But I know that now I'mprobably going to be
(05:48):
contributing very little to thiswhatsapp group, because if they
don't want this sense of humor,I don't know what else to do
the only two people whoresponded to the picture of the
pool cleaner yeah, it's me andyou right.
Speaker 3 (05:59):
No one else is responding, so I mean they like
tapped back to it or whatever,like shocked faces or laughing
faces, but no one responded, soit's okay, I don't need it.
I I find you funny anyway fulltransparency here.
Speaker 1 (06:14):
Though we weren't gonna record, we were in bed
lights off, lights off, and wehad talked about recording
earlier, but then we wentoutside to play with Winthrop,
who thinks that he wants to playbaseball, so we kind of played
baseball for a little bit.
And, by the way, by the way,last couple weeks my elbow has
(06:36):
really hurt like badly and Ikeep thinking geez-o-Pete, you
know I must be sleeping wrong.
Speaker 3 (06:42):
Or some I've never heard that before in my life.
Speaker 1 (06:44):
You never heard geez Pete.
Speaker 3 (06:45):
No, anyway, don't distract me, you slept, weird.
Speaker 1 (06:48):
I'm all like.
You know, I've slept weird.
I don't know what I'm going tobe.
No, it's because now I'vestarted to throw the football
with the eight-year-old outsideand my elbow hurts because of
that.
My God, and I'm not eventhrowing it hard and it's a a
tiny football and my elbow hurtsbecause of it.
I am freaking, falling apartman.
Speaker 3 (07:08):
Yeah, but he's throwing a pretty decent spiral.
And what do you mean?
He thinks he wants to playbaseball.
Do you mean like now, or likehe wants to be on a team?
Speaker 1 (07:17):
Well, he's all about baseball and I freaking hate
playing baseball with himbecause it's nothing but me
bending over to pick up the damnball.
Why don't you squat?
That's your fault.
Speaker 3 (07:27):
It's your fault that our kid yelled at me tonight for
not squatting to get the balland he was genuinely concerned
and pissed that I wouldn't squatfor the ball Because it's bad
for your back, but it's becausethey taught him this in PE, like
they have taught them to squatinstead of bending over, and now
he's like, yelling at us butyou're like, but it hurts my
knees.
Speaker 1 (07:49):
In PE they taught me, like, how to climb a rope and
how to play basketball.
You mean to tell me thatthey're just teaching them how
to squat?
Yeah, that's not PE.
Speaker 3 (07:57):
Was anybody ever able to climb the rope in your PE
class?
Because I don't feel like I'veever seen anybody successfully
climb that rope.
Was it during the presidentialfitness test or whatever?
Do you remember those?
Speaker 1 (08:09):
I don't know I was kidding I never climbed a rope.
That's like from the 1950s.
Did you actually have a rope?
I just used that as an exampleof things.
Speaker 3 (08:16):
I think we did Like in the 80s.
No dude.
Speaker 1 (08:19):
No, ropes, they did not make us.
We're not like training to be,you know, for World War II or
something you know to be asailor.
No, get out of here.
Speaker 3 (08:30):
Sailors, don't climb the ropes Anyway, those are
pirates.
Speaker 1 (08:34):
Did you know that last Friday was National Talk
Like a Pirate.
Speaker 3 (08:36):
Day.
Is that why you were dressedlike a pirate at work?
I wasn't dressed like a pirate,you had an eye patch on.
Speaker 1 (08:41):
Okay, yes Then.
Yes, I was dressed like apirate, but there were pirates
at work.
Anyway, all of this is to saythat we weren't feeling all that
great and we weren't going torecord until I remembered that
this might be our last chance torecord, or at least our last
chance to reach some of you.
Speaker 3 (09:01):
That's right, we will still be here recording.
Speaker 1 (09:04):
So I understand that there's a very good chance that
the rapture is tomorrow.
Speaker 3 (09:09):
Yes, but I have seen people in Australia and social
media who've said they're stillhere, so it's not going to
happen.
Speaker 1 (09:16):
Oh, I don't imagine the rapture is going to go by
time zone.
Speaker 3 (09:19):
Like New Year's.
Speaker 1 (09:20):
I feel like it's going to happen to the entire
planet at once.
Speaker 3 (09:24):
Oh, there goes, Australia Turn on the TV.
Speaker 1 (09:28):
I want to see the rapture in New York now, right?
No, but this might be the lasttime that we're able to speak to
some of you, so we just wantedto make sure not to miss our
opportunity to say bye, folks.
I will miss you, some of you,and I hope you have a good time
where it is that you're going.
(09:50):
I hope that they have all ofthe amenities that you're
expecting and that it's not likea bait and switch type of thing
and you end up I don't know, inlike Philadelphia or something.
Speaker 3 (10:00):
I don't know.
That's a random place, althoughthe eagles are doing well.
So if you do not know, if youwere not raised in the church or
you're not aware, the raptureis the second coming of Christ,
who's supposed to come and getall of the people from the earth
and take them to heaven.
Speaker 1 (10:19):
Not all the people, only his chosen people.
Speaker 3 (10:21):
Only the chosen people, and then if you don't go
in the rapture, then you'rehere for what's it called?
I forgot.
Speaker 1 (10:29):
I really.
It's been so long since.
Speaker 3 (10:31):
I studied all those things, and this used to be a
thing that I was so afraid of.
Speaker 1 (10:37):
Well, I have compiled a list of things to do in
preparation for the rapture.
Speaker 3 (10:44):
Well, you don't have long.
Speaker 1 (10:45):
Well see, we don't know when tomorrow this is gonna
happen.
Speaker 3 (10:48):
It could be, at the end of the day.
Close a business tomorrow.
Speaker 1 (10:51):
All right, so you wanna hear it's seven things to
do before the rapture.
Speaker 3 (10:54):
Oh, this is a good number.
That's the Lord's number.
Yes, okay, seven.
Speaker 1 (10:57):
Okay, number seven.
Well, this is really in noparticular order, but we'll do a
count now.
Number seven things to dobefore the rapture.
Number seven steal all the WWJDbracelets from the Christian
bookstore, so the chosen can'taccessorize on their way up.
Speaker 3 (11:19):
Or you could stand out there and hand them out.
No, like throw.
Did you have a jjg?
I had like a fancy, like steel,like silver, one like I didn't
have the rubber one that sounds.
That sounds a little perversethere no, no, like it was like
hammered metal in it wwjd you.
Speaker 1 (11:31):
You put hammered metal around your wrist to
commemorate christ that.
Speaker 3 (11:36):
No, so I made the good choices.
Speaker 1 (11:38):
Okay, but I'm saying you don't want hammered anything
around your wrist, I know withChrist.
Speaker 3 (11:41):
Yes, I know Lots and lots of people not actually
WWJDing, but whatever, go ahead.
Speaker 1 (11:47):
You said to steal them all and hand them out.
Why do I just?
I picture people in the rapturegoing up, but it's like Mardi
Gras.
Speaker 3 (11:58):
Like throwing what throws.
That's what it's called rightThrows.
Speaker 1 (12:01):
Okay.
So number six prepare to reportthe angel of death to HR.
Hi, yes, I'd like to file acomplaint.
The trumpet blast was hostileand the smiting felt targeted.
Number five climb onto thechurch roof with a boombox,
blast ACDC's Thunderstruck andannounce this is the altar call
now.
Speaker 3 (12:22):
That's right.
You need to start repenting now.
Speaker 1 (12:25):
Number five Start a neighborhood left behind.
Fantasy league Draft picksinclude the pastor's mistress,
that guy who thinks the holywater at the church should be
replaced with kombucha, and theneighborhood cat lady.
Oh my god.
Speaker 3 (12:39):
Number three Don't be picking on the cat, ladies.
Speaker 1 (12:46):
Well, someone's got to.
They're gonna be left.
Number three build a GoFundMefor post-rapture rent assistance
.
If the chosen vanish, it'spossible the economy might get
even worse, so be prepared.
Speaker 3 (12:52):
I have feelings about that.
Go ahead.
Speaker 1 (12:53):
Number two tag your church with graffiti.
Spray paint the words.
Closing, for Let me finish.
Spray paint the words.
Speaker 3 (13:03):
You can't do it.
Speaker 1 (13:04):
I can't Spray paint the words closing for apocalypse
.
All sales, final and number onething to do Do you get your?
Speaker 3 (13:12):
tithe back if you tithe this Sunday.
Oh, no refunds friend, allright, go ahead.
Speaker 1 (13:18):
And the number one thing to do in preparation for
the rapture buy one of thoseshofars off Amazon.
When Gabriel's trumpet blows,toot your bargain shofar at the
same time, so you might get somesouls accidentally rise towards
you.
Instead, Collect followers,start a cult profit.
Speaker 3 (13:39):
Wait, okay, yeah, no, this is so funny.
It's funny.
I'm glad we can laugh at itbecause I mean, as somebody who
grew up in an evangelical church, the fear of the rapture was
real and religious trauma can bereal.
So while we laugh at it, knowthat it's coming from a place
that we gotta laugh at it orwe'll cry.
(14:00):
My question for you is do youknow how many times since the
Bible that the rapture has beenincorrectly predicted?
I was curious so I looked up.
There's not a specific number,but a ballpark.
Speaker 1 (14:15):
How can they possibly ?
Like famously, I guess like inpeople's like consciousness.
This was a thing like how howmany times has it been a meme
and viral?
Speaker 3 (14:25):
I mean, well, this started in 500 ce, so probably
wasn't okay.
Speaker 1 (14:28):
So then so and I'm not guessing high, just to be a
jerk like a thousand times no,it's only a couple it says.
Speaker 3 (14:37):
But historians of religion note that dozens to
hundreds of specific dates.
So dozens to hundreds, butwhat's interesting to me is a
few of the most famous examplesone in 500 CE, one in 1000 CE
and the next one 1844.
Speaker 1 (14:56):
Oh, there was like a long time where people were, but
next one, 1844.
Speaker 3 (14:57):
Oh, there was like a long time where people were, but
what?
Speaker 1 (14:59):
happened in 1844, because what you did there is
you hit.
People tend to go really crazywhen it's like a round number or
like a multiple of five, right,so like a thousand 500 BC.
Oh, you know, we're coming upon, like you know, y2k.
Speaker 3 (15:16):
Oh right, yeah, that was a big one.
Speaker 1 (15:18):
The year 2000.
Oh, it's going to be therapture.
I remember was it 2012?
There was supposed to be somesort of 2011.
Speaker 3 (15:25):
Was that the last one ?
Yeah, that's the last one.
It was predicted to be on mybirthday, May 21st 2011.
But then it got postponed toOctober 21st 2011,.
But then it got postponed toOctober 21st.
I don't really know why, so Idon't know.
In 1844, it was the MilleriteGreat Disappointment, when
followers of William Millerexpected Christ's return, but it
didn't happen.
And then another.
(15:45):
We had it in 1914, 1925, and1975.
And then 1988, I think was thefirst one that I was aware of.
Speaker 1 (15:56):
I had no idea, and I was a junior that I was aware of
.
I had no idea and I was ajunior and I was going to a
Christian school, I guess weweren't that brand or that
flavor.
Speaker 3 (16:06):
So Edgar Wise Knott published 88 Reasons why the
Raptional Will Be in 1988.
Didn't happen.
And then in 2011,.
Harold Camping predicted, yeah,may 21st.
Then revised it to October 21st.
So, yeah, well over 100, atleast 100 times, but I'm hoping
(16:26):
we all see you here tomorrow orthat we don't, let's be clear we
don't want to see you heretomorrow, don't?
Show up at our house.
Speaker 1 (16:34):
The rapture didn't happen.
Let's go find out from theWilsons what the deal is.
No, no, leave us alone.
Speaker 3 (16:39):
Leave us alone.
Speaker 1 (16:40):
Email us, let us know how it is If you're still here.
If you're still here, you know,and you're left behind, email
us, we'll get together for ahell party or something.
Familiarwilsons at gmailcom.
Now, if you are in the greatbeyond and you have Wi-Fi,
signal.
Speaker 3 (16:58):
You can still email us.
Email us, Let us know how it isfamiliarwilsons at gmailcom.
Speaker 1 (17:03):
Let us know what we're missing.
Speaker 3 (17:20):
What time is it?
And that is my favorite song ofthe podcast by ajcw.
I got right and that means it'sgame time, so we've been
talking about famous raptureevents in history.
That means I think it's a goodtime to do a flashback.
Josh, are you ready for aflashback?
Speaker 1 (17:41):
Go ahead.
Try to very simply describewhat the flashbacks quiz is to
those who haven't heard it.
Speaker 3 (17:50):
If you've not heard it, it is a series of eight
historical events that I'm goingto give Josh, and he's going to
try to place them correctly ona timeline, anchoring them
either before or after the lastone that we did.
Josh makes it a little bitharder on himself and tries to
guess the exact year so old ladyreading glasses, on, here we go
.
Josh, you're anchoring eventwith the war over.
Kimberly clark turns its papergas mask filters into new
(18:14):
products like Kleenex.
Speaker 1 (18:18):
So you're saying that Kleenex was invented by taking
gas mask filters.
And so why does that not likemitigate any of the smell?
Speaker 3 (18:27):
Well, Matt, I can't help you.
I'm just telling you what theNew York Times is saying to me
1947.
Wrong war 1924.
Oh okay, Okay but that's youranchoring one, so it doesn't
count.
All right, ready, okay, so nowit counts your first real one.
Speaker 1 (18:45):
So, whatever this next thing is, I have to guess
if it's before or after 1924.
Right, that's the conceitedgame Before or after 1924.
?
Right, that's the conceitedgame, but.
I'm going to actually try toput a date on it.
Just for funsies, go ahead.
Speaker 3 (18:56):
All right, the Rosetta Stone is translated by
Jean-Francois Champollion.
I don't know, don't come at me,I don't know how to say that.
After intense effort, he saysI've done it and reportedly
faints recovering five dayslater.
Took him five days to recoverfrom translating the Rosetta
Stone, before or after Kleenex?
Speaker 1 (19:19):
Okay, that is not as easy as you would think.
Speaker 3 (19:22):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (19:23):
Well, because the Rosetta Stone's been around a
long time, I don't know, yeah,but when did Jean Francois do
this?
Well, I'm going to say that ithad to be after 1924.
So I'm going to say 1960.
Speaker 3 (19:43):
Okay, 1822.
Speaker 1 (19:47):
Damn it.
I've never gotten the secondone wrong before.
I know.
Alright, so 1822.
This does not bode well.
Speaker 3 (19:56):
Well, this next one, I think, should be a little bit
more obvious.
To promote anti-drug messages,the White House secretly reviews
scripts for TV shows like ERand Beverly Hills 90210.
A backlash shuts down theeffort.
I had no idea.
Did you know this?
Speaker 1 (20:16):
No, we're gonna say 1994.
Speaker 3 (20:21):
I'm gonna all right, it was 1998.
Good job.
Speaker 1 (20:27):
What were they reviewing the scripts for?
Speaker 3 (20:31):
They were trying to make sure that there were no
drug go use drug messages andtrying to get in some anti-drug
messages.
Speaker 1 (20:37):
So are you saying that they were trying to control
what the shows were doing?
Like they were trying to censorthe shows?
Mm-hmm.
That's very interesting, isn'tit interesting?
Yeah, go ahead.
Speaker 3 (20:49):
Seems almost not plausible.
British pilots use a secretradar to fight nighttime enemies
during the Blitz.
As a cover story, the UKcredits carrots for helping
their pilots night vision 1940.
Okay, UK people, do you eat alot of carrots?
1940, exactly.
Speaker 1 (21:09):
Bam, I should get two points.
Speaker 3 (21:11):
Okay, at the first London Olympics we're very
british heavy.
Oh, I know why.
It's because, yeah, so the forthose of you listening the
flashbacks is based on currentevents and considering that
somebody from here just wentover there, this is probably why
we have all the the britishthings right now.
At the first, at the firstLondon Olympics, the marathon is
(21:34):
26 miles long, but QueenAlexandra is seated too far away
to see the finish, so the routeis extended to 26.2 miles.
I had no idea that is amazing.
Speaker 1 (21:48):
Okay, so who was the monarch?
Speaker 3 (21:51):
Queen Alexandra.
Speaker 1 (21:52):
Never even heard of Queen Alexandra, so we're going
to say that it's before 1822.
Okay, 1908.
You are kidding me, no.
Speaker 3 (22:07):
Who is Queen Alexandra?
I mean, clearly she's not aBritish monarch, right, is she
who knows?
No, she wasn't queen.
Who was queen in 1908?
No idea, don't come for me.
Belsons, all right.
Speaker 1 (22:18):
Yeah, like they know, get out of here.
Speaker 3 (22:20):
Are you ready?
Oh, I get okay.
This is also a thing thathappened this week.
Dustin Hoffman stars in theGraduate beating out Robert
Redford.
Redford is so charming.
The director says that hewouldn't know how to play a
loser.
Speaker 1 (22:35):
All right, so that is in between 1924 and 1998.
Speaker 3 (22:42):
Well, no, you have a 1940 in there.
Speaker 1 (22:44):
Oh oops, yeah, it's after that it's after 1940, but
before 1998.
Speaker 3 (22:53):
Yes, all right, 1967.
Robertbert redford raise aglass.
Okay, on the run for a, on therun for a bank robbery, butch
cassidy and the sundance kidcan't help but take a photo for
fun.
The clear image of their ganghelps lead to its downfall.
Excellent, excellent.

had a hurricane yet oh my god,what are you doing?
But don't we haven't.
Speaker 1 (25:08):

now?
We're sure to have one now, therapture is going to happen
tomorrow and then we'reimmediately going to get hit by
a super hurricane I'm notmanifesting the hurricane, I'm
asking like historically,haven't we usually had one by
the end of september?
Speaker 3 (25:25):
yeah, I think so yeah all right, well, don't come at

Speaker 3 (26:35):
I mean, it is probably a little all over there
, but you know, I'm glad that wegot out of bed and decided to
record.
Speaker 1 (26:42):
Yes, people expect no less.
So, on this, possibly our lastpodcast for some of you, I do
want to make sure not to forgetto mention those people without
whom this show would not bepossible.
And lo, as the trumpet soundedand the sky cracked open like a
(27:05):

It said Leo getting his haircaught in the light.
Leo has no hair.
Speaker 3 (28:09):

Speaker 3 (28:41):
He never gets to go inside what?
Speaker 1 (28:43):
a foul deal for him.
Look, pete man, I say that youtake yourself a couple thousand

It can only make it moreexciting.
Speaker 3 (28:57):

Bye, thank you.
Familiar Wilson's Media Relationships are the
story.
Speaker 2 (00:08):
You are made of meat, my friend all the way down.
Speaker 1 (00:10):
The following podcast uses words like and, and also
If you're not into any of thatshit, then now's your chance.
Speaker 2 (00:19):
Three, two, one run.
I'm super familiar with you,wilson, get it.
Speaker 3 (00:31):
Welcome to Super Familiar with the Wilsons.
I'm Amanda.
Speaker 1 (00:34):
And I'm Josh Amanda.
This is the podcast aboutMarriage 2.0 with kids and all
the side quests, so I have akids question for you here.
Okay, and this is actually.
This goes out to our listenersas well.
What is the deal with kidsreally, really, really really
wanting something to eat, likelet's say, oh, I don't know,
(00:55):
gelato Pitching a holy fit toget the gelato.
We finally pull over, stop at aplace that serves gelato, get
the gelato, and he eats threespoonfuls and says he's done.
Speaker 3 (01:09):
I was like this didn't happen, but it did.
I just I don't think of thisplace as a gelato place, but I
guess it is.
What do?
Speaker 1 (01:17):
you mean, this didn't happen.
This just happened on Saturday.
Speaker 3 (01:19):
But like I, just like gelato feels very Italian.
I forgot that you were talkingabout.
Like the Italian ice place wewent to.
Speaker 1 (01:26):
Yes.
Speaker 3 (01:26):
Yeah, but then he wound up having most of it.
I don't know.
I don't know.
Children want things that theythink that they want, but then
when they get it, they don'twant it.
The grass is greener always.
Speaker 1 (01:39):
Yes, the wanting is always stronger and better than
the having.
It's just freaking frustratingman.
We bend over backwards to tryto please this kid.
Well, you do, let's be clear.
You bend over backwards tryingto please this kid and it's just
not enough.
When do we stop, put our footdown and say enough is enough,
(02:02):
kid, now it's time for you to goout, earn your keep, start to
pay rent and then you can startto have a say.
When do we do that?
Speaker 3 (02:12):
because he's eight and I feel like that's really
close I mean I don't think hecan legally have a job until
he's like 14.
So in six years he can go belike a bag child at publics a A
bag child.
Speaker 1 (02:24):
That does not sound good, Well bag boy is not.
Speaker 3 (02:26):
this is like I don't want to make it gender specific
and you don't say bag girl, likethat bag lady is a bad thing,
so just a bag child.
Speaker 1 (02:35):
Very good, very good.
Other happenings in the worldof Wilson Amanda and I attended
a meeting of our neighbors.
Was that only just yesterday?
Speaker 3 (02:47):
No, pete, yeah, wow Today was a very long Monday.
Speaker 1 (02:51):
If you've been following along with our
adventures, you have heard ustalk about our ongoing
kerfluffle with the Fluffle's agood word.
With the people who are buildingthis development.
And I don't want to say toomuch, right, because I don't
know they might listen.
But one thing I will say,speaking of listening, is we had
(03:17):
a gathering of our neighbors tokind of talk about our HOA
situation and talk about thepeople who are developing this
neighborhood, and we did it atthe pool because there were,
because we, not we, they, theyinvited the whole neighborhood
and they didn't know how manypeople would show up And-.
Speaker 3 (03:41):
There were what like 10 or 12 of us.
Speaker 1 (03:42):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
So there were less than I thinkthat there could have been, but
they meaning the people whoorganized this meeting our
neighbors decided to do it atthe pool Right At the
neighborhood community pool Likeout, like under the like
overhang, sitting at tables.
Speaker 3 (03:57):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (03:58):
Which and I'm not concerned about the developers
or HOA people hearing this,because they know full well that
we met, because we were sittingthere at this table all airing
our grievances and getting toknow each other as neighbors and
why we're miserable rightunderneath a camera and
(04:21):
microphone that Do you know thatit had audio?
I'm quite certain it had audioAll right, because one of the
things that they complainedabout was the pool always being
dirty.
Yep.
And this meeting was yesterdayand today.
Someone put on the WhatsAppgroup.
Oh, they've put in a poolcleaner.
Speaker 3 (04:42):
Yeah, like this pool.
Cleaner we'd never seen beforeis all of a sudden at the bottom
of the pool All of a suddenlike materialized, but it's like
a tiny little one, like yousaid, like I think you called it
, like the Walmart Roomba.
It's tiny, but yeah.
So either there was sound orthey employed some sort of lip
reading software to figure out.
We were all saying that thepool was gross and dirty well,
(05:05):
that was one of the manycomplaints.
Speaker 1 (05:06):
We'll see if any of the other complaints um get get
addressed, but I will tell youthat this is the first time I've
ever been a part of a whatsappgroup like this, like I'm part
of whatsapp group with a bunchof podcasters who are now
friends, but it's different.
This is the first time I'veever been a part of a WhatsApp
group of people that I don'tknow and it's very interesting
(05:28):
because I feel like you'vecrossed a certain line when you
are now in a WhatsApp group likethat and I will tell you that I
threw my first little joke inthere this morning Nothing, they
are not having which fine, allbusiness, no personal it's fine.
They are not having which.
Fine, all business, no personal, it's fine.
But I know that now I'mprobably going to be
(05:48):
contributing very little to thiswhatsapp group, because if they
don't want this sense of humor,I don't know what else to do
the only two people whoresponded to the picture of the
pool cleaner yeah, it's me andyou right.
Speaker 3 (05:59):
No one else is responding, so I mean they like
tapped back to it or whatever,like shocked faces or laughing
faces, but no one responded, soit's okay, I don't need it.
I I find you funny anyway fulltransparency here.
Speaker 1 (06:14):
Though we weren't gonna record, we were in bed
lights off, lights off, and wehad talked about recording
earlier, but then we wentoutside to play with Winthrop,
who thinks that he wants to playbaseball, so we kind of played
baseball for a little bit.
And, by the way, by the way,last couple weeks my elbow has
(06:36):
really hurt like badly and Ikeep thinking geez-o-Pete, you
know I must be sleeping wrong.
Speaker 3 (06:42):
Or some I've never heard that before in my life.
Speaker 1 (06:44):
You never heard geez Pete.
Speaker 3 (06:45):
No, anyway, don't distract me, you slept, weird.
Speaker 1 (06:48):
I'm all like.
You know, I've slept weird.
I don't know what I'm going tobe.
No, it's because now I'vestarted to throw the football
with the eight-year-old outsideand my elbow hurts because of
that.
My God, and I'm not eventhrowing it hard and it's a a
tiny football and my elbow hurtsbecause of it.
I am freaking, falling apartman.
Speaker 3 (07:08):
Yeah, but he's throwing a pretty decent spiral.
And what do you mean?
He thinks he wants to playbaseball.
Do you mean like now, or likehe wants to be on a team?
Speaker 1 (07:17):
Well, he's all about baseball and I freaking hate
playing baseball with himbecause it's nothing but me
bending over to pick up the damnball.
Why don't you squat?
That's your fault.
Speaker 3 (07:27):
It's your fault that our kid yelled at me tonight for
not squatting to get the balland he was genuinely concerned
and pissed that I wouldn't squatfor the ball Because it's bad
for your back, but it's becausethey taught him this in PE, like
they have taught them to squatinstead of bending over, and now
he's like, yelling at us butyou're like, but it hurts my
knees.
Speaker 1 (07:49):
In PE they taught me, like, how to climb a rope and
how to play basketball.
You mean to tell me thatthey're just teaching them how
to squat?
Yeah, that's not PE.
Speaker 3 (07:57):
Was anybody ever able to climb the rope in your PE
class?
Because I don't feel like I'veever seen anybody successfully
climb that rope.
Was it during the presidentialfitness test or whatever?
Do you remember those?
Speaker 1 (08:09):
I don't know I was kidding I never climbed a rope.
That's like from the 1950s.
Did you actually have a rope?
I just used that as an exampleof things.
Speaker 3 (08:16):
I think we did Like in the 80s.
No dude.
Speaker 1 (08:19):
No, ropes, they did not make us.
We're not like training to be,you know, for World War II or
something you know to be asailor.
No, get out of here.
Speaker 3 (08:30):
Sailors, don't climb the ropes Anyway, those are
pirates.
Speaker 1 (08:34):
Did you know that last Friday was National Talk
Like a Pirate.
Speaker 3 (08:36):
Day.
Is that why you were dressedlike a pirate at work?
I wasn't dressed like a pirate,you had an eye patch on.
Speaker 1 (08:41):
Okay, yes Then.
Yes, I was dressed like apirate, but there were pirates
at work.
Anyway, all of this is to saythat we weren't feeling all that
great and we weren't going torecord until I remembered that
this might be our last chance torecord, or at least our last
chance to reach some of you.
Speaker 3 (09:01):
That's right, we will still be here recording.
Speaker 1 (09:04):
So I understand that there's a very good chance that
the rapture is tomorrow.
Speaker 3 (09:09):
Yes, but I have seen people in Australia and social
media who've said they're stillhere, so it's not going to
happen.
Speaker 1 (09:16):
Oh, I don't imagine the rapture is going to go by
time zone.
Speaker 3 (09:19):
Like New Year's.
Speaker 1 (09:20):
I feel like it's going to happen to the entire
planet at once.
Speaker 3 (09:24):
Oh, there goes, Australia Turn on the TV.
Speaker 1 (09:28):
I want to see the rapture in New York now, right?
No, but this might be the lasttime that we're able to speak to
some of you, so we just wantedto make sure not to miss our
opportunity to say bye, folks.
I will miss you, some of you,and I hope you have a good time
where it is that you're going.
(09:50):
I hope that they have all ofthe amenities that you're
expecting and that it's not likea bait and switch type of thing
and you end up I don't know, inlike Philadelphia or something.
Speaker 3 (10:00):
I don't know.
That's a random place, althoughthe eagles are doing well.
So if you do not know, if youwere not raised in the church or
you're not aware, the raptureis the second coming of Christ,
who's supposed to come and getall of the people from the earth
and take them to heaven.
Speaker 1 (10:19):
Not all the people, only his chosen people.
Speaker 3 (10:21):
Only the chosen people, and then if you don't go
in the rapture, then you'rehere for what's it called?
I forgot.
Speaker 1 (10:29):
I really.
It's been so long since.
Speaker 3 (10:31):
I studied all those things, and this used to be a
thing that I was so afraid of.
Speaker 1 (10:37):
Well, I have compiled a list of things to do in
preparation for the rapture.
Speaker 3 (10:44):
Well, you don't have long.
Speaker 1 (10:45):
Well see, we don't know when tomorrow this is gonna
happen.
Speaker 3 (10:48):
It could be, at the end of the day.
Close a business tomorrow.
Speaker 1 (10:51):
All right, so you wanna hear it's seven things to
do before the rapture.
Speaker 3 (10:54):
Oh, this is a good number.
That's the Lord's number.
Yes, okay, seven.
Speaker 1 (10:57):
Okay, number seven.
Well, this is really in noparticular order, but we'll do a
count now.
Number seven things to dobefore the rapture.
Number seven steal all the WWJDbracelets from the Christian
bookstore, so the chosen can'taccessorize on their way up.
Speaker 3 (11:19):
Or you could stand out there and hand them out.
No, like throw.
Did you have a jjg?
I had like a fancy, like steel,like silver, one like I didn't
have the rubber one that sounds.
That sounds a little perversethere no, no, like it was like
hammered metal in it wwjd you.
Speaker 1 (11:31):
You put hammered metal around your wrist to
commemorate christ that.
Speaker 3 (11:36):
No, so I made the good choices.
Speaker 1 (11:38):
Okay, but I'm saying you don't want hammered anything
around your wrist, I know withChrist.
Speaker 3 (11:41):
Yes, I know Lots and lots of people not actually
WWJDing, but whatever, go ahead.
Speaker 1 (11:47):
You said to steal them all and hand them out.
Why do I just?
I picture people in the rapturegoing up, but it's like Mardi
Gras.
Speaker 3 (11:58):
Like throwing what throws.
That's what it's called rightThrows.
Speaker 1 (12:01):
Okay.
So number six prepare to reportthe angel of death to HR.
Hi, yes, I'd like to file acomplaint.
The trumpet blast was hostileand the smiting felt targeted.
Number five climb onto thechurch roof with a boombox,
blast ACDC's Thunderstruck andannounce this is the altar call
now.
Speaker 3 (12:22):
That's right.
You need to start repenting now.
Speaker 1 (12:25):
Number five Start a neighborhood left behind.
Fantasy league Draft picksinclude the pastor's mistress,
that guy who thinks the holywater at the church should be
replaced with kombucha, and theneighborhood cat lady.
Oh my god.
Speaker 3 (12:39):
Number three Don't be picking on the cat, ladies.
Speaker 1 (12:46):
Well, someone's got to.
They're gonna be left.
Number three build a GoFundMefor post-rapture rent assistance
.
If the chosen vanish, it'spossible the economy might get
even worse, so be prepared.
Speaker 3 (12:52):
I have feelings about that.
Go ahead.
Speaker 1 (12:53):
Number two tag your church with graffiti.
Spray paint the words.
Closing, for Let me finish.
Spray paint the words.
Speaker 3 (13:03):
You can't do it.
Speaker 1 (13:04):
I can't Spray paint the words closing for apocalypse
.
All sales, final and number onething to do Do you get your?
Speaker 3 (13:12):
tithe back if you tithe this Sunday.
Oh, no refunds friend, allright, go ahead.
Speaker 1 (13:18):
And the number one thing to do in preparation for
the rapture buy one of thoseshofars off Amazon.
When Gabriel's trumpet blows,toot your bargain shofar at the
same time, so you might get somesouls accidentally rise towards
you.
Instead, Collect followers,start a cult profit.
Speaker 3 (13:39):
Wait, okay, yeah, no, this is so funny.
It's funny.
I'm glad we can laugh at itbecause I mean, as somebody who
grew up in an evangelical church, the fear of the rapture was
real and religious trauma can bereal.
So while we laugh at it, knowthat it's coming from a place
that we gotta laugh at it orwe'll cry.
(14:00):
My question for you is do youknow how many times since the
Bible that the rapture has beenincorrectly predicted?
I was curious so I looked up.
There's not a specific number,but a ballpark.
Speaker 1 (14:15):
How can they possibly ?
Like famously, I guess like inpeople's like consciousness.
This was a thing like how howmany times has it been a meme
and viral?
Speaker 3 (14:25):
I mean, well, this started in 500 ce, so probably
wasn't okay.
Speaker 1 (14:28):
So then so and I'm not guessing high, just to be a
jerk like a thousand times no,it's only a couple it says.
Speaker 3 (14:37):
But historians of religion note that dozens to
hundreds of specific dates.
So dozens to hundreds, butwhat's interesting to me is a
few of the most famous examplesone in 500 CE, one in 1000 CE
and the next one 1844.
Speaker 1 (14:56):
Oh, there was like a long time where people were, but
next one, 1844.
Speaker 3 (14:57):
Oh, there was like a long time where people were, but
what?
Speaker 1 (14:59):
happened in 1844, because what you did there is
you hit.
People tend to go really crazywhen it's like a round number or
like a multiple of five, right,so like a thousand 500 BC.
Oh, you know, we're coming upon, like you know, y2k.
Speaker 3 (15:16):
Oh right, yeah, that was a big one.
Speaker 1 (15:18):
The year 2000.
Oh, it's going to be therapture.
I remember was it 2012?
There was supposed to be somesort of 2011.
Speaker 3 (15:25):
Was that the last one ?
Yeah, that's the last one.
It was predicted to be on mybirthday, May 21st 2011.
But then it got postponed toOctober 21st 2011,.
But then it got postponed toOctober 21st.
I don't really know why, so Idon't know.
In 1844, it was the MilleriteGreat Disappointment, when
followers of William Millerexpected Christ's return, but it
didn't happen.
And then another.
(15:45):
We had it in 1914, 1925, and1975.
And then 1988, I think was thefirst one that I was aware of.
Speaker 1 (15:56):
I had no idea, and I was a junior that I was aware of
.
I had no idea and I was ajunior and I was going to a
Christian school, I guess weweren't that brand or that
flavor.
Speaker 3 (16:06):
So Edgar Wise Knott published 88 Reasons why the
Raptional Will Be in 1988.
Didn't happen.
And then in 2011,.
Harold Camping predicted, yeah,may 21st.
Then revised it to October 21st.
So, yeah, well over 100, atleast 100 times, but I'm hoping
(16:26):
we all see you here tomorrow orthat we don't, let's be clear we
don't want to see you heretomorrow, don't?
Show up at our house.
Speaker 1 (16:34):
The rapture didn't happen.
Let's go find out from theWilsons what the deal is.

What time is it?
And that is my favorite song ofthe podcast by ajcw.
I got right and that means it'sgame time, so we've been
talking about famous raptureevents in history.
That means I think it's a goodtime to do a flashback.
Josh, are you ready for aflashback?
Speaker 1 (17:41):
Go ahead.
Try to very simply describewhat the flashbacks quiz is to
those who haven't heard it.
Speaker 3 (17:50):
If you've not heard it, it is a series of eight
historical events that I'm goingto give Josh, and he's going to
try to place them correctly ona timeline, anchoring them
either before or after the lastone that we did.
Josh makes it a little bitharder on himself and tries to
guess the exact year so old ladyreading glasses, on, here we go
.
Josh, you're anchoring eventwith the war over.
Kimberly clark turns its papergas mask filters into new
(18:14):
products like Kleenex.
Speaker 1 (18:18):
So you're saying that Kleenex was invented by taking
gas mask filters.
And so why does that not likemitigate any of the smell?
Speaker 3 (18:27):
Well, Matt, I can't help you.
I'm just telling you what theNew York Times is saying to me
1947.
Wrong war 1924.
Oh okay, Okay but that's youranchoring one, so it doesn't
count.
All right, ready, okay, so nowit counts your first real one.
Speaker 1 (18:45):
So, whatever this next thing is, I have to guess
if it's before or after 1924.
Right, that's the conceitedgame Before or after 1924.
?
Right, that's the conceitedgame, but.
I'm going to actually try toput a date on it.
Just for funsies, go ahead.
Speaker 3 (18:56):
All right, the Rosetta Stone is translated by
Jean-Francois Champollion.
I don't know, don't come at me,I don't know how to say that.
After intense effort, he saysI've done it and reportedly
faints recovering five dayslater.
Took him five days to recoverfrom translating the Rosetta
Stone, before or after Kleenex?
Speaker 1 (19:19):
Okay, that is not as easy as you would think.
Speaker 3 (19:22):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (19:23):
Well, because the Rosetta Stone's been around a
long time, I don't know, yeah,but when did Jean Francois do
this?
Well, I'm going to say that ithad to be after 1924.
So I'm going to say 1960.
Speaker 3 (19:43):
Okay, 1822.
Speaker 1 (19:47):
Damn it.
I've never gotten the secondone wrong before.
I know.
Alright, so 1822.
This does not bode well.
Speaker 3 (19:56):
Well, this next one, I think, should be a little bit
more obvious.
To promote anti-drug messages,the White House secretly reviews
scripts for TV shows like ERand Beverly Hills 90210.
A backlash shuts down theeffort.
I had no idea.
Did you know this?
Speaker 1 (20:16):
No, we're gonna say 1994.
Speaker 3 (20:21):
I'm gonna all right, it was 1998.
Good job.
Speaker 1 (20:27):
What were they reviewing the scripts for?
Speaker 3 (20:31):
They were trying to make sure that there were no
drug go use drug messages andtrying to get in some anti-drug
messages.
Speaker 1 (20:37):
So are you saying that they were trying to control
what the shows were doing?
Like they were trying to censorthe shows?
Mm-hmm.
That's very interesting, isn'tit interesting?
Yeah, go ahead.
Speaker 3 (20:49):
Seems almost not plausible.
British pilots use a secretradar to fight nighttime enemies
during the Blitz.
As a cover story, the UKcredits carrots for helping
their pilots night vision 1940.
Okay, UK people, do you eat alot of carrots?
1940, exactly.
Speaker 1 (21:09):
Bam, I should get two points.
Speaker 3 (21:11):
Okay, at the first London Olympics we're very
british heavy.
Oh, I know why.
It's because, yeah, so the forthose of you listening the
flashbacks is based on currentevents and considering that
somebody from here just wentover there, this is probably why
we have all the the britishthings right now.
At the first, at the firstLondon Olympics, the marathon is
(21:34):
26 miles long, but QueenAlexandra is seated too far away
to see the finish, so the routeis extended to 26.2 miles.
I had no idea that is amazing.
Speaker 1 (21:48):
Okay, so who was the monarch?
Speaker 3 (21:51):
Queen Alexandra.
Speaker 1 (21:52):
Never even heard of Queen Alexandra, so we're going
to say that it's before 1822.
Okay, 1908.
You are kidding me, no.
Speaker 3 (22:07):
Who is Queen Alexandra?
I mean, clearly she's not aBritish monarch, right, is she
who knows?
No, she wasn't queen.
Who was queen in 1908?
No idea, don't come for me.
Belsons, all right.
Speaker 1 (22:18):
Yeah, like they know, get out of here.
Speaker 3 (22:20):

Speaker 3 (22:42):
Well, no, you have a 1940 in there.
Speaker 1 (22:44):
