Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello Kelly.
Speaker 2 (00:01):
Now, good morning, it's tomorrow show.
Speaker 1 (00:03):
Two day. Hello, two day is Thursday. Tomorrow is thank
god it's Fridaday. Yes, getting ready for a big weekend.
We'll see you Sunday downtown Main Street for the Shambrock Parade. Oh,
I get to go hang out Saturday down to the lake.
I'm going to bill a Jerror Island Juror Island State Park.
As they sign officially says, ok, we get the pro
bass fishing or pro fishing tournament way in and all
(00:25):
kinds of parties going on. If you're gonna bring your
kids to get there at three o'clock. If you're one
of the first fifty kids, you get a free rod
and reel. Yeah, they got some all kind of cool prizes.
Speaker 2 (00:34):
Now do we know how many ball bearings the fishermen
are bringing, But we do not those of you who
don't follow fishing that closely. Was about two years ago.
Speaker 1 (00:42):
Some guys got buddy, run them through one of those scanners,
like when you go into Walmart. It's got the magnetrons.
They run the fish through of those. Now it picks
up all the way.
Speaker 2 (00:51):
It's amazing. We've got to have metal detectors at schools
and fishing competitions.
Speaker 1 (00:55):
It's very competitive out there, Kelly, where you can get
kicked off the tour for that.
Speaker 2 (01:00):
Well, I learned something the other day. I was telling
my mother about this. I don't have it in front
of me, but the did you know that in lots
of parts of the country it's illegal to fish using
goldfish as bait.
Speaker 1 (01:12):
I did not know that, nor have I ever considered
using a goldfish as bait.
Speaker 2 (01:17):
Apparently, when goldfish, if they get off the hook and survive,
and then they can meet another goal, well even if
they don't meet another goldfish. Apparently goldfish can get to
be quite large, yes, and they can destroy other fish populations.
Speaker 1 (01:32):
So they were saying a lot of things take they
take on the size of their container. That's way, if
you keep them in a goldfish jar, they stay small.
You put them out there in one of those little
ponds in your garden, they get pretty big.
Speaker 2 (01:46):
Well, I mean they're showing like you know, The Today
Show did a story the other day in Pennsylvania. So
these goldfish weighing in at like ten pounds, ten flipping pounds.
Think about that. They're eating the bass, they're eating the trout,
they're just gnawing on all these other things that they're like,
they're not supposed to be in our water. So the
(02:08):
US Fish and Wildlife Services is now putting out warnings
about goldfish. They're one of the most dangerous fish in
the world.
Speaker 1 (02:16):
They say, you go screw up the environment of the
lake gold fish.
Speaker 2 (02:20):
That sweet little goldfish.
Speaker 1 (02:22):
Guys.
Speaker 2 (02:23):
This guy's holding a goldfish. I swear to God, this
thing is probably two and a half feet long.
Speaker 1 (02:28):
I've seen them pretty big, but they had them in
like those garden ponds in the back, but I don't
think i've seen whether it's a tim pounder.
Speaker 2 (02:35):
It says without any natural predators, they will destroy anything
in sight and the population will explode. They might they
mate like rabbits. They're just knocking out thousands of fish,
and they'll just take over the waterways, eat everything. They're
gonna kill the other fish, and whatever fish they don't eat,
they're gonna go ahead and just destroy the food for
those other fish. Unbelievable. So if you're fishing on Lake
(02:56):
Murray this weekend, do not be using goldfish. That was
in part of that story was that they have banned
using goldfish as bait to try to catch bigger fish
because sometimes they get off the hook and then you
got big problems. I never would have known that about goldfish.
Speaker 1 (03:11):
I did not know that they were predators for other fish.
Speaker 2 (03:15):
All right, Jonathan. The word declaim.
Speaker 1 (03:18):
Declaim, Uh, the claim is often misused. It's kind of
like proclaim, but it's declaimed. Okay, So it's using a
protest form. Although you will hear people say he probably
stood and proclaimed and then he made a statement against
something which would have been a declaim.
Speaker 2 (03:36):
That's almost right. Again, you are so close every morning,
it's like you're.
Speaker 1 (03:41):
Hm, how do I get that one wrong? Proclaim? Declaim?
All right?
Speaker 2 (03:46):
So when you look it up, they'll tell you that
you should be using declaim. Probably eighty percent of the
times that you're using the words proclaim declaim is anytime
you're speaking formally in public.
Speaker 1 (04:00):
So if you're making declared to claim.
Speaker 2 (04:02):
Yeah. So if you're on stage and you're saying something formally.
Speaker 1 (04:06):
And using the proclaim, probably wrong most of the time.
Speaker 2 (04:09):
Interesting, isn't it. So that's why we we broaden our
vocabulary with what you're talking about, which has no actual
words in it.
Speaker 1 (04:17):
I've declaimed on this podcast I'm an idiot for misusing
the word to claimed or proclaimed when I should have
used the claim.
Speaker 2 (04:24):
I love the fact that we have a contest called
what You're talking about where we come up with the
definitions for words and the actual contest has no words.
What is w A t che c cha? You just
the letter you talk about bout solverbal skills. We use
no words in our contest about words what you're talking about?
(04:47):
And so tomorrow morning is six thirty. If you know
the word to claim means to speak formally in public,
you're going to get if you're the right number caller,
you get the tickets to Blake Shelton next Friday night.
That's a pair of tickets. But you also get four
tickets for Friday night at the Colonial Life Arena. That's
tomorrow night, or when we're doing this contest tonight, you'll
get to see the world's Toughest rodeo since World's Toughest rodeo.
Speaker 1 (05:10):
All right, so we got that for tomorrow morning to
kick off the weekend.
Speaker 2 (05:14):
Yeah, and you know we love we love to kind
of save families whenever possible. We saved one this morning
talking about is it okay for mom? To eat the
groceries while in the grocery store, even though she's gonna
pay for it tomorrow. It's a great debate, the idea
of sending your kids to just a traditional public school
(05:36):
or should you actually go ahead and make the big
sacrifice and have your own homeschooling. I see, I see
both sides of this equation.
Speaker 1 (05:47):
You have both sides.
Speaker 2 (05:48):
I would say you've been on both sides. Where'd you
come down?
Speaker 1 (05:52):
Depending on the kid. Some kids need to be homeschooled.
All can Oh, I'm about to fall into a good
el episcopal phrase here. All may some should numb? Must
I think if you're a child, there may be things
that a public school offers that homeschooling would not offer. Well, uh, oh,
my god, hold on a second. I won't get pushed
(06:14):
back on that. Homeschoolers get. They get very upset if
you don't represent everything absolutely correctly. For instance, do not
make a joke about homeschooler moms if you see some
woman who makes your own bread.
Speaker 2 (06:28):
That is the standard joe kind of the insider joke there.
Speaker 1 (06:31):
They don't think that's funny. I used that last week
and did not get the response in for that I
did not get any bread, damn it. A lot of
times it has to do with the child and how
they learn best. Sometimes parents are equipped to help their
child learn in such a way that they're more equipped
than may be public school. Sometimes public school is better equipped.
(06:52):
There's a lot of different equations here. And then the
other thing, of course, is that you want to, you know,
make sure that you are controlling the values that your
child is absorbing, or you will make sure that as
you have the leeway with inside a history class, for instance,
would Bible be part of that history class? It can be,
and you can get full credit for it in high school.
It's a long story with college with that, and won't
(07:13):
get into it. Now. There are different reasons, I think
where different kids will learn better different ways, and homeschooling
certainly part of that.
Speaker 2 (07:22):
Yeah, I didn't really hear a reason why the public
school would be better. It sounded like homeschooling was the
way to go.
Speaker 1 (07:27):
Well before before times, as we say to younger people,
there was not availability for homeschoolers to be able to
participate in public school athletic events, for instance, and now
that's been pretty much eradicated. You can by state law
so there were opportunities previously that you would not have
been able to expose your kid to a couple of
(07:49):
swimmers who wanted to go and they wanted to be
on a team at that high school because that team
had that school had a great swim team and they
won state championships and all that, and I mean it
was a great experience for him, but they were even
draw There were drawbacks, I think for both, so we
can waste some of those.
Speaker 2 (08:04):
Yeah, I didn't know until I saw the documentary on
Tim Tebow that he never went to high school. He
was always homeschooled, but he won a high school state
championship because after his homeschooling classes, he could go down
and play for the local high school. And that's how
he became a legend in Florida.
Speaker 1 (08:20):
That's right.
Speaker 2 (08:22):
So when you're looking at that, I'm looking I'm reading
an article here off of ihomeschool network dot com. And
this was written by a lady. See if I can
find her name at the beginning of the story. She's
got a book actually called Homeschooling Versus Public Schooling. We're
not going to give me your name. Goodness, gracious, you
don't even give me your name. There's a bad book.
(08:43):
You got to turn around. Yeah, I guess you got
to read it on the inside. Anyway, she says, as
a former public school teacher, I have inside information about
how the school system really works. And as a veteran
homeschool mom who's graduated four kids, I'm very well of
the struggles. And then she goes through and she weighs
each and every one of the pros and the cons
the personal times, the specialized programs, the educational gaps, so
(09:07):
on and so forth, accountability, all that sort of stuff,
and it seems like, oh, here's her name, Anna Karraco,
k r a ko and a Kraco. Her takeaway is
that it is much harder to be a homeschool teacher.
But there's, like she says, as far as like what
you would know as a mother as opposed to somebody
(09:28):
who went to college to become a teacher, really not
a big difference. She loves the fact that as a
homeschooled parent, you're going to know, unlike what you said
in to the public school, that the teacher actually loves
your child, and you're gonna do everything you can that's
in the best interest of the child. But your life
(09:50):
basically her life, she says, basically, your life sucks.
Speaker 1 (09:53):
It does. It's all consuming and depending on Like I've
got a sister in law who homeschool all of her
kids graduate with the honors and ended up going to
college on scholarships and all kinds of stuff. But she
was more of an educateur. Sally would tell you she's
not an educator at all, but she facilitated it. I mean,
there's plenty of waying plugging the homeschooling networks. And I
think homeschooling at one point, probably maybe even faster now,
(10:15):
used to grow at fifteen percent per year in the
Palmtento State. But she would tell you that there's plenty
of opportunities inside the homeschool homeschooling network that you don't
even have to worry about being a teacher. You just
you got to be a mom shuttle because when you
go to like the science lab, and the science lab
was incredible. I mean I think they dissected a horse. What, yeah,
(10:37):
I mean it was it was and it was a
college former college professor I think who taught that lab. Wow,
So there was a lot of things that you wouldn't
have been exposed to certainly not the entrance of a horse.
You wouldn't have been exposed to a public school, So
it gets pretty extensive. It can get as specialized as
you'd like. I was going to make a McDonald's joke
(10:59):
there about the.
Speaker 2 (11:01):
Staved off to save us the lawsuits. Anyway, Yeah, we're
going to weigh that out for you tomorrow. Like you said,
the debate seems to be getting more and more intense
every year about whether or not you should homeschool your
kids or send them off to the public schools. But
one of the things that I do like about the
public schools. We're having this discussion about my nine year
old niece right now. You need I truly believe it's
(11:26):
like germs. Like I've talked about, we over sanitize in society,
and that's why we have more variations of flus and
all these other things, is because we got all these
We all are so it's the same, is true. I
think for kids, when you're young, you need to be
exposed to straight up jerks and learn that they're just
(11:49):
They come in all shapes and sizes, and sometimes they're
not always jerks. Sometimes they can be really nice to you.
And then for whatever reason, something changes and they start
insulting you and putting you down or whatever. And that's
a very difficult thing to learn, but it's a lot
harder to learn it at age twenty one.
Speaker 1 (12:06):
You need to learn that early when you're seving you
as an adult will turn on you in a minute.
Speaker 2 (12:10):
Yeah, when you're seven. It sucks when you're twenty one.
If you've never been exposed to it, you're like, what
am I in?
Speaker 1 (12:16):
This is? So?
Speaker 2 (12:17):
I think a lot of the people who have been
homeschooled their whole lives, they miss out on that ability
to deal with really horrible people, and the world is
filled with unlike what's it, Keith Urban? I think most
people are good?
Speaker 1 (12:30):
Is that?
Speaker 2 (12:30):
Luke Bryant? Yeah, I don't necessarily believe that. I don't
believe that most people are good. I think there's a
lot of people that are good. But I also think
there's a lot of really bad people who want to
take advantage of you. They want to abuse you, they
want to put you down. That's how they get their
self worth.
Speaker 1 (12:45):
Yeah, there's certainly ways now you can overcome the years
ago was that your child won't have the social skills
because they'll be at home. You know, there's so many
interactions now with homeschooling communities that that's not an objection.
But as Kelly plainly points out, most of the homeschooling
kids awesome that you might imagine theydn't interaction with her
with their parents, and they're probably a better group of people.
(13:06):
But you need to get out there and go to
GP at lunch time if you're going to be if
you're going to go to home, if you're going to
go to a public school, that's what you learned everything
when you get into the general population in the school
lunch room. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (13:20):
Yeah, she got my little nine year old and he's
got called the N word for the first time in
her life and didn't know, didn't know how to respond.
Speaker 1 (13:27):
I mean, the first time I got called a cracker,
Now I didn't know. I had to ask what that meant. Unfortunately,
the person who called me that didn't really know. They
just knew it with something that's supposed to make me mad.
And since I was ignorant, he was ignorant. We both
agreed to have lunch together.
Speaker 2 (13:41):
Oh so it didn't really work out. It didn't work
out for him or me. I did learn eventually what
it meant.
Speaker 1 (13:48):
All right, and it has nothing to do with crackers. Okay,
all right, now let's see what else is going on.
Well that's enough. Hey, that's a whole mouthful. What are
you saying about all that? We'll talk to you about it.
Give you a chance to win. Tomorrow morning at about
six point thirty we play what you talk about. And
I had not noticed as plainly on the internet we
do not use a word correctly in promoting the contest
(14:10):
about learning word.
Speaker 2 (14:11):
No, we intentionally misspelled every word in there.
Speaker 1 (14:14):
There you go, Blake Shelton. Tickets up for grabs and
also the last chance for you to win because it's
tomorrow night's when it kicks off. Is also Saturday night
the CINCH, World's toughest rodeo coming to the Colonial Life Arena.
What's going on in your neighborhood. You're not going to
reach out to us. We'll probably hear from some homeschoolers
already before we even start talking about it. Nine seven
