Speaker 1 (05:02):
He was trying to filibuster his way into this podcast,
but he is now being.

Speaker 2 (05:07):
Pulled off before.

Speaker 3 (05:10):
I say, all right, apologies everybody.

Speaker 2 (05:16):
Okay, hi hi hi hi hi.

Speaker 1 (05:20):
Sorry about that. All right, So how's it going? Take three?

Speaker 2 (05:26):
What's going on, everybody?

Speaker 6 (05:33):
Somebody's back at there vacuuming.

Speaker 1 (05:35):
Oh oh oh no.

Speaker 3 (05:38):
Let me figure it out. It's one of.

Speaker 6 (05:41):
Those fucking leaf flowers.

Speaker 3 (05:43):
I fucking hate them.

Speaker 2 (05:45):
Should not exist anyway, all right, Well she's doing that?

Speaker 1 (05:50):
What it's a goddamn leaf flower?

Speaker 7 (05:52):
What like?

Speaker 6 (05:53):
Oh sorry, I really hate leaf flowers. He should not
exist as a concept.

Speaker 3 (05:58):
What are we doing?

Speaker 6 (06:00):
Take a fucking broom. I know it's more work anyway.

Speaker 1 (06:04):
You know, while you say that, I actually have gotten
very into sweeping my house over vacuuming it lately, because
I swept for a long time and I hated it.
And then we got the back the the vacuum, the
one that we had to return, and then we went
like the you know, the cordless one, and we had
to return it because it stops sucking up things after

(06:25):
like a year. Then God Cossedo took it back. But
I was just like, this is very expensive and you
can test it right now, but it you know, you
doesn't suck things up anyway. So now we've got the
you get hanped in didn't get sucked in, the handheld one,
the you know, the plug in one, the upright.

Speaker 2 (06:44):
One, and it's fine.

Speaker 1 (06:46):
But like, I don't know, I just I have gotten
into just sweeping and then running the vacuum on the
carpets after.

Speaker 3 (06:53):
That's usually what what I do. But like you sort
of the cleaning device needs to fit to the surface.

Speaker 1 (07:02):
Yeah, that's what I feel too. Like it's a fine,
it's not gonna like it hasn't scratched up the floors
or anything, but like I just feel like I have
more control over the sweeping.

Speaker 3 (07:12):
Yeah, I'm a big fan of the sweep. Then you
followed around with a swiffer that like yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
it really does the job.

Speaker 7 (07:21):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (07:22):
Good times anyway, Okay, so what's what's going on this week?
Because we went to the aquarium. We had a nice
little Georgia weekend. Zack and I went to a haunted
lake Lake Linear to get one of the oldest geocashes
in the United.

Speaker 2 (07:36):
States for my little challenge thing.

Speaker 1 (07:39):
It was it was very cool he had a blast,
I had an accomplishment. It was wonderful. And then we
did the aquarium, which was also quite fun.

Speaker 3 (07:49):
But yeah, that's that.

Speaker 1 (07:50):
Oh. When I started my weekend, I went to Aaron's
funeral or memorial service. I flew in on Friday morning,
and then I flew to Atlanta and met them Friday evening.
And it was quite lovely. Actually, I think she would
have appreciated.

Speaker 7 (08:04):
It was filled with.

Speaker 1 (08:07):
Wonderful stories that you know, her loved once told of her,
and it was just it was really it was really
nice recaped some of the stories that we knew, like
when they ran through the Grand Canyon and came up
on the other side and had to drive three hundred
miles around, but they had to hitchhike with teenagers, which

(08:28):
loved that story. There were a couple other stories that
we've they've shared that we've heard before, but it was
just nice to to like revisit them too, because like
I found myself a lot of times be like, oh, yeah,
that's right, I know that. Yeah, yeah, that's so funny.
And it was. It was cool because the one thing
that I think I really love about Aaron was that

(08:48):
she was not afraid to get herself into an adventure. Yeah,
like I I love how she embraced the chaos of
life and I was not afraid to go out and
do it.

Speaker 2 (09:04):
But yes, it was. It was very lovely.

Speaker 1 (09:07):
I met listener Matt in person, so hey, Matt, it
was very good to hang out with him at the
little after party service thing whatever it's called.

Speaker 2 (09:18):
But yeah, overall it was I think she.

Speaker 1 (09:21):
Would have approved of the celebration for life.

Speaker 3 (09:26):
I'm so glad you were able to to go and
represent for us.

Speaker 1 (09:31):
Me too.

Speaker 2 (09:32):
Anyway, what's going on with you guys?

Speaker 3 (09:35):
We would to go look at a cat this weekend.

Speaker 4 (09:38):
Whoa, I don't think it's.

Speaker 3 (09:40):
Our cat, but no one, you know exactly exactly, And
I think I think it was like you know, much
with dating and like after a big breakup, you just
sometimes you just kind of have to get out there again,
you know, and you spend like the first first date
like yes, just thinking about the previous person. We both left.

(10:04):
It was a perfectly sweet, like very cute. The cat
was like, you know, fine with Eden, but like I
don't know, we just neither neither Daniel or I walked
away being like, yeah, that's our cat.

Speaker 2 (10:20):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (10:21):
You know, we did that too with Vivian because we
went to go visit those cats the first weekend and
like the boys were like, oh, they're so cute and
I was like, no, there's something these aren't ours. They're
not meant for us.

Speaker 3 (10:32):
Yeah. Yeah, And she was just like, so, can we
buy this cat? And we had to keep reminding her
that it's like, no, we're not buying, even though money
will be exchanged. We're adopting.

Speaker 4 (10:44):
Yeah.

Speaker 6 (10:45):
She super excited about that.

Speaker 3 (10:47):
She's into it. She is like into the idea. Oh
and I should also catch this. This happened after the
fact after we recorded last week.

Speaker 4 (10:55):
We are now.

Speaker 3 (10:56):
Also home to to goldfish. Oh that came home from school?

Speaker 7 (11:04):
Cool?

Speaker 2 (11:05):
Are they like living with you forever?

Speaker 3 (11:07):
There are to end their unit on water. Every kid
in the class got to goldfish, so now we have
to goldfish.

Speaker 6 (11:18):
That's kind of wild, that is it.

Speaker 2 (11:21):
That's the thing.

Speaker 1 (11:22):
Yeah, classes can't even feed all their kids, but you
guys are given out goldfish.

Speaker 7 (11:26):
That's cool.

Speaker 3 (11:27):
Yeah.

Speaker 6 (11:27):
I feel like the rule is like you can't you
can't give a pet to somebody without asking. And I
do like those fish are lose steaks. They are low steaks.
That's kind of family.

Speaker 3 (11:42):
They're currently in a vase because we didn't want to
like invest in a fish bowl until back to the weekend,
which they did. They seem to really like their vase home.
But I think I think we will get them a
real fish bowl.

Speaker 6 (11:55):
But my brother has had this goldfish for like over
five years, like it is living for a very long time.

Speaker 3 (12:01):
Yeah, yeah, so that's I'm really I'm kind of like
I'm taking a piece of Aaron and I'm leaning into
the adventure and I'm trying to be excited about these.
I'm like they have personalities, Like I'm actually like a
little taken with these.

Speaker 1 (12:21):
Look, don't get too sick. Gold fish don't live that
long is a very minimum commitment.

Speaker 4 (12:28):
But they have very like distinct personalities.

Speaker 3 (12:30):
What is again very brief and like it's a go getter,
and the other one is very like nervous and reserved
and like skeptical of everything.

Speaker 1 (12:38):
That is hilarious.

Speaker 4 (12:39):
Yeah, I'm they're.

Speaker 6 (12:42):
Very their baby and Mama.

Speaker 3 (12:49):
That's what said. She wanted to name them. Okay, the
first name was like Bebo, and so you know, for her,
that's a pretty uh, the fact that they are actual
words it's like it's good for her. Normally, her names
are like these amazing made up words that like, I
don't know, she lived in another planet in previous life.

Speaker 1 (13:11):
Nothing wrong with that she upgraded to Earth.

Speaker 2 (13:14):
I think she might not have upgraded.

Speaker 3 (13:20):
Her Normal names for things are like Kenna or Wregans.
She's using her creativity exactly. That's always. I'm like, you
come up with the most creative names.

Speaker 1 (13:35):
We have things like pink bear and Girly and you
know fishy, Like you know, names are good.

Speaker 2 (13:43):
Names, are thinking outside.

Speaker 1 (13:44):
The box here? Yeah, oh boy, are we congrats on
your fish?

Speaker 3 (13:49):
Yeah? And you know, more to come on the cat.
But you know, we've officially begun the search. I suppose
is the headline? Well, that's exciting, it is.

Speaker 1 (13:58):
Yeah, that is exciting. Oh yeah, yeah, that's great. Anything
else going on?

Speaker 8 (14:05):
No?

Speaker 7 (14:06):
Cool?

Speaker 6 (14:07):
All right? I started saying in chiropractor, Oh.

Speaker 3 (14:11):
What inspired this? An injury or just you felt it
was time? Well, I mean I've always.

Speaker 6 (14:17):
Just like had back pain, upper back pain, lower back pain,
lots of acupuncture, lots of massages, lots of whatever. But
it's also just like you know, like you guys probably
have back pain, too, right, You just kind of like, yeah, no,
maybe not, Okay.

Speaker 1 (14:30):
So maybe I do. I get a lot of back
pain in the shoulders, and you know what helps me
more than anything else.

Speaker 2 (14:38):
Zachary's elbow.

Speaker 1 (14:38):
I swear to God, I have all the hooks if
Jay's elbows, I have ice pads and heating pads, and
Zachary's elbow gets in there in the exact perfect way
and it really.

Speaker 7 (14:53):
Helps most crazy.

Speaker 1 (14:55):
He has helped me with migraines.

Speaker 6 (14:58):
Wow, that's impressive.

Speaker 2 (15:00):
It is crazy. Like I'll be like, is this really hurts?

Speaker 1 (15:03):
And He'll be like where and he'll just like circle
it around as hard as he can, like to the
point that it hurts me for like ten seconds, and
then it is nuts. Actually it is quite crazy. Yeah.

Speaker 6 (15:14):
Nice, But Funk Funk's gastroentrologists like suggested it to him, Yeah,
recommended it to him for some for a thing that
was going on, And he's like, I don't know. It
made me a little bit more reassured because I've never

(15:35):
I don't know, I've always been kind of scared of chiropractors, honestly. Yeah,
but anyway, his doctor like recommended it. It's the one
that his doctor uses, so yeah, it was like doing
him some good. I was like, well, shit, I should
probably get in there and then and then sure enough,
like I have some shit, and he like took X
rays and stuff. It's crazy because on the X rays

(15:55):
he's like showing me the X rays and one of them.

Speaker 2 (15:58):
I was like, that's my you do, that's right, that's
what you show.

Speaker 4 (16:02):
That's where it came from.

Speaker 3 (16:03):
I didn't.

Speaker 6 (16:05):
Oh, I didn't give you the story.

Speaker 1 (16:07):
I mean, you might have given us the contact, and
I just she did not give us the context. She
did not give us the context.

Speaker 2 (16:12):
That's so funny.

Speaker 6 (16:14):
Yeah, it's crazy.

Speaker 7 (16:17):
Yeah, it's so funny.

Speaker 6 (16:19):
It's been good so far.

Speaker 1 (16:21):
That's good.

Speaker 6 (16:23):
Moving some sugar.

Speaker 1 (16:25):
You know, it's funny that you mentioned that because one
of the things I considered for the middle section of
the show was a New York Times article for weird
signs You're getting older. But I just started it. But
if you want without me reading, I can tell you.

Speaker 4 (16:45):
So.

Speaker 2 (16:45):
One of it was.

Speaker 1 (16:48):
Your lower your teeth may move like they grow cricket
or whatever. Another is your voice may change because your
vocal cords become thinner and less supple. As you get older,
you'll shrink and keep on shrinking. Most people get shorter
as they age, starting around age forty. It might have
been it just popped up in my inbox. Your mind grades,

(17:10):
migraines may decrease. So that's that's a good one. Yeah,
like you got crooked teeth but no migraines, and you
know something, I would take it.

Speaker 3 (17:21):
That's why I keep wearing my retainer.

Speaker 9 (17:23):
Ah that too.

Speaker 6 (17:25):
I mean your teeth like you coming around just like
just like your spinal cord.

Speaker 7 (17:31):
If you did. There love a good full circle.

Speaker 1 (17:35):
Yeah, you think it us posted because I am curious
about that.

Speaker 6 (17:41):
I think it's I'm like totally, I've completely drank the
kool aid, skeptical of chiropractors for my whole life. But
now I'm like, I'm all in okay, and yeah, no,
I think it's going to be good. I mean, honestly,
it's like it's already good.

Speaker 4 (17:58):
That's great.

Speaker 7 (17:59):
Yeah, that is great.

Speaker 1 (18:01):
Well cool. It sounds like everybody had interesting weekends or
last last week's Yeah, I'm trying to think we've had
a wild storm of political events so last week. The
one thing I do want to say is, but they're gmails,
as it was revealed today or yesterday.

Speaker 6 (18:21):
My god.

Speaker 1 (18:22):
That Yeah, they were sending also sending war plans on over.

Speaker 2 (18:30):
Gmail and whatnot.

Speaker 1 (18:31):
They're just sensitive email, sensitive emails over Gmail, which I'm
pretty sure costs somebody in election once and it wasn't
even over Gmail. It was just over her private server.

Speaker 3 (18:41):
Mm hmmm.

Speaker 6 (18:46):
Again, it's like, it's really different.

Speaker 1 (18:47):
When you have a penis, because that penis provides extra
security if.

Speaker 3 (18:54):
You're anyone other than.

Speaker 2 (18:57):
From cotton. Yeah, from consequences.

Speaker 6 (19:00):
If we can have the same level of outrage for
things that are like even worse, it would be nice.
It would like at least be consistent.

Speaker 10 (19:10):
You know.

Speaker 1 (19:10):
It's really funny because we were I was in the
beginning of Pazzeve America in the car today, and I
didn't think the kids were paying attention because they had
their tablets, and they kind of were, and they were like,
ask me about like the economy, and I was like, well, well, kids,
the economy prices were high, but the economy was doing well,
but the media wasn't making enough money off of Joe

(19:31):
Biden's boring presidency, so they had to see all of
our fates by helping reelect Donald Trump. They were like what,
And I.

Speaker 2 (19:40):
Was like, I know, I sound like my parents.

Speaker 1 (19:43):
Oh, fair and balanced, fair and balance. It's why we
can only listen to Fox News. I was like, I realize,
I sound like that right now, but like I don't know.
I used my eyes and ears like in the real world,
not the TV. Like I didn't listen to what the
media was telling me.

Speaker 7 (20:00):
Anyway.

Speaker 1 (20:01):
Yeah, good times, good times. Yeah yeah, but they're emails
that ship.

Speaker 3 (20:06):
But I had not heard that. No, make it to
be angry.

Speaker 1 (20:11):
About one more thing.

Speaker 2 (20:12):
But you know, there's so many, there's so many fucked
up things.

Speaker 1 (20:16):
It's hard to keep track. And I think that that's
why Trump came out and was like, I'm going to
run for a third term. And I think that that
was why because he realized he's very much distraction. He
is the art of distraction. And I think that they
were like, yo, you know, Donald, go distract them so
we can make an extra trillion off of four people.

Speaker 2 (20:35):
And he was like, I got just the thing to say.

Speaker 1 (20:39):
Many people are saying that they want me to run
for a third term, but really it'd be.

Speaker 6 (20:45):
A fourth term but also a third term.

Speaker 1 (20:47):
But right, because I really want I really won before all, right,
do and do something fun.

Speaker 3 (20:55):
Because I know we're gonna talk let's bring the move up.

Speaker 1 (20:59):
I know we're to talk more about the Corey Booker
stuff in the feedback section. So in coner of getting there,
I had found an asked reddit which hold on, you know,
these never load properly for me at first, because for
some reason, even though when I pulled them up ahead
of time, my computer does not like whatever is on here. Okay,

(21:20):
The ask redit question was what's the dumbest thing you've
heard someone ask with absolute confidence in.

Speaker 2 (21:27):
Honor of the world we are living in?

Speaker 1 (21:30):
In, which so you know how you guys, was it you,
Amanda that who'd seen the the debate with that that
dude who was just like the government, He's like, no, government,
entities do not pay taxes.

Speaker 2 (21:43):
They are paid for by taxes.

Speaker 3 (21:44):
That guy.

Speaker 1 (21:46):
So that that same group has put puts on debates
like that all the time, And that might have been
where I was like, oh, you haven't seen this before.
It might have just been another person in that same
debate stage. But there was a doctor, a medical doctor
and scientist who was debating anti vaxxers, and I mean.

Speaker 2 (22:07):
One of them.

Speaker 1 (22:08):
I was like, they I declined to vaccinate my child,
and the doctors and nurses at the hospital made me
feel like a terrible mother, and like literally is everybody
was like, because you are a terrible brother. But like
the guy to his credit co author is like, look
a credit, like to my profession, we're not supposed to
do that. I'm really sorry they made you feel that way,

(22:28):
but like this is why you should vaccinate, and like
they just kept coming up with like the most these
fucking stupidest I want to slam my head in a
concrete wall, things like well maybe if that's just what
they're telling you, and he's like, no, no, it's like,
you know, decades of you know, informed opinions of people

(22:52):
who are trained to do this are coming to the
conclusions that these vaccines are overwhelmingly safe. But what if
that's just because they're only printing the ones that are
saying that it's safe, and they're stifling the voices that
are saying they're not safe. And the guys because we're like, okay,
but like these diseases have gone away since vaccines and

(23:13):
it's proven to work, and well, well what if they
just change That's the other thing. That's what the right's
doing now is it wasn't. I think it's I don't
know if it was polio or measles or whatever. Let
me say polio. It wasn't that polio went away. It's
just that they changed the left changed the name of polio.

Speaker 2 (23:30):
So that yes, that's the new, that is the new.
I don't I don't know the cold or something, but they.

Speaker 3 (23:37):
Like change.

Speaker 4 (23:41):
Very similar symptoms.

Speaker 1 (23:42):
Yes, yeah, they changed its name. Yeah, miss McConnell making
good trouble for the sake of history eighty years later,
taking one for the.

Speaker 7 (23:53):
Team, getting getting folio.

Speaker 1 (23:56):
But no, like they're saying that they changed, I think
it was polio. They changed the name, and that's why
cases went down that coincided with the vaccine. It was
actually better, like washing your hands and other such things.

Speaker 3 (24:11):
Like do you hear the words coming out of your mouth? Yeah,
sound like a more logical answer to you than the
like yeah, the obvious one staring you in the face.

Speaker 1 (24:22):
Yes, I watched it and these they it made me realize,
like we're fucked, Like we got to figure out something
else we are fucked, like because again, like I don't've
talked about her as an example before, like chaperone, Like
I truly think that. I think when people say she's
like a closet Republican, that's not true. I think she

(24:45):
is because she made headlines this past week because she
was on the Color Daddy podcast and she was just like,
I don't understand how these women have time to like
be pop stars and eat and work out and like
be bosses and make music and go on console and
perform and still be politically informed, Like I don't get it.
So like, I don't understand why people are looking for

(25:05):
me for answers because I'm a pop star. I don't
have the fucking answers and I'm.

Speaker 2 (25:09):
Like girl a regular job.

Speaker 1 (25:13):
And this started because you did an interview in which
you started shitting on Democrats and people called you out
because they were the ones that were for the lgbt
Q rights that you were for and Republicans were its.

Speaker 2 (25:28):
So like you brought this upon yourself. You started this.

Speaker 1 (25:33):
So anyway, everybody, like everybody's been ripping her new one, like, oh,
because oh, she's a closet Republican, blah blah blah. I
think I think that my opinion from all these months
stands true that she is the product of Republican education system,
and she that that's where she comes from. And I

(25:54):
think that Democrats, Missouri Democrats, I think she's from Missouri.
Democrats need to truly reconcile with the fact that if
you want to win back voters now, you need to
change your strategy.

Speaker 2 (26:08):
You need to appeal to the people like her who
lean left but don't understand because they were raised in
severe right environments.

Speaker 1 (26:17):
They were raised in a public school system that leaned
Republican and religious, like, we need to learn how to
talk to those kinds of people with that background and
bring them in because otherwise we're not going to get anywhere.

Speaker 2 (26:32):
Because everybody's sitting there shitting on her.

Speaker 1 (26:33):
What is she going to do?

Speaker 2 (26:34):
So what is somebody that's like her going to do?

Speaker 1 (26:36):
They're gonna sit out the next election because they're not
going to want to be a part of it. And people,
because people are fragile, they have egos, and if we
want to bring people in, which we need to, we
need to talk to those. We need to adjust our
communication strategy and we need to talk to those kinds
of people and be like, well, actually, it's not that

(26:56):
Democrats don't care, it's this, this, this is how government works, Like,
we need to talk to those people because otherwise they're
just going to get educated by TikTok. They're going to
go from their Republican education in high school and they're
going to go to TikTok, which is excuse heavily right, And.

Speaker 2 (27:15):
You know, like we need to learn how to talk
to those people.

Speaker 1 (27:16):
We need to adjust our language. Doesn't mean we need
to give up our values, but we need to adjust
our language and the way that we speak to people
or we're not going to bring them in and we
need to, like we are in a crisis.

Speaker 3 (27:28):
Just like like adjust our tone. I feel like there's
such a sanctimonious outlook to many people on the left
that I think, yeah, is off putting, you know, and
perhaps rightly so, because as you said, people don't like
to be told they're wrong, and certain factions of the

(27:50):
left we just love to tell people they're doing things
the wrong way, yeah, without looking at the intention.

Speaker 4 (27:57):
And it's like that is off putting.

Speaker 6 (28:01):
That is off It is off putting, And but I
will like, do you exactly what you're saying? The idea
of a pop star complaining that it's impossible to be
a pop star and be informed is also just like
so disconnected from from like the reality, like try working
two or three jobs, raising kids and like you know,

(28:26):
living by getting by month to month and then also
staying informed and honestly, I'm trying to to work at it.

Speaker 11 (28:33):
That's hard, right, pop start, Like everybody's heart is hard,
Like if it's if your life is hard for you,
then like it's hard for you, and like we should
stop comparing my heart to your heart.

Speaker 4 (28:48):
Oh man, I'm so.

Speaker 6 (28:51):
I just like just because that that is everybody's hard.
Everybody's hard and not in a good way. And that's
just a ridiculous thing to say. And I'm sorry, but
I'm also not sorry.

Speaker 3 (29:06):
It's a ridiculous thing to say. But like she's also
like a child.

Speaker 2 (29:09):
How old she's not she's twenty eight years old or whatever?

Speaker 3 (29:13):
Okay, fine, I mean I was thirty stuff at twenty
eight too.

Speaker 1 (29:17):
I was. I was saying dumb stuff until I was
like thirty five exactly like.

Speaker 6 (29:22):
I was saying dumb stuff, but I was voting right, right.

Speaker 3 (29:26):
I also didn't have a platform for anybody to hear
me and care.

Speaker 1 (29:30):
Right, And when that's also the thing again, like this
started because she brought it up, like are in a Grande?
Does she bring up pop music like do a lipa
or whatever her name is, Like, there are plenty of
pop stars out there that don't bring it up, and
people don't look to them for that. They just they
let their music and what they do speak for themselves
without being outward. But like, also look at people like

(29:51):
Lady Gaga. Lady Gaga is out there and her dad
is Maga, and she is out there and she does
not give a flying fuck and she is doing her
thing and standing up for what she thinks is right. Yep,
Allegedly her dad is Maga. I've only read that on
the internet. I have never actually met her dad and
talked to him. I just want to say that allegedly,

(30:13):
Like that's admirable, like you know, using your platform to
be like, no, this is whatever, so I don't know whatever.
Like this all ties into the dumbest thing you've heard
somebody say. With that, that's the confidence which I feel like,

(30:34):
you know, I don't know how you have time to
eat and work out and be a popster and be
in four.

Speaker 2 (30:39):
One of the dumbest things I've ever heard somebody say.

Speaker 6 (30:41):
God, she can like hire somebody to like read articles
to her.

Speaker 2 (30:47):
Or just yes exactly, but also hard to figure out.

Speaker 1 (30:53):
She's hard to figure out how to pay people. Was
that she said too, And I'm like again, I feel
bad for you because you.

Speaker 2 (30:58):
And I hate I hate saying this.

Speaker 1 (31:00):
I know I sound a leap, but like she is,
she is one of the early examples of that education system.
We need to learn how to talk to those people,
those people who are very easy pick me, grab the
hanging fruit democrats that we just need to learn how
to talk to them.

Speaker 9 (31:18):
Okay, uh soon, dumbest thing you've heard somebody say with
absolute confidence, Who's ready, dude?

Speaker 1 (31:29):
Afghanistan is in Iraq. My neighbor said, too bad, your
solar panels will be making less electricity now that daylight
savings time has ended. Oh man, this is u. It

(32:00):
is making fun of every anti vaxxer since COVID those scientists.

Speaker 2 (32:07):
Was that scientist was dumb.

Speaker 1 (32:09):
For changing their opinion when new facts presented themselves. Oh
my god, if only that was common practice. I once
had to convince a thirty two year old that were
floating in space. He thought we had sat on some
kind of stand or something. I don't even know.

Speaker 2 (32:30):
That's pretty dumb.

Speaker 3 (32:31):
Okay, okay.

Speaker 1 (32:35):
Someone once told me I had to write a different
birthdate on my account application because there is no February
twenty ninth. But adah.

Speaker 2 (32:47):
The next one is.

Speaker 1 (32:49):
You're from Alaska.

Speaker 2 (32:50):
How do you speak such good English?

Speaker 1 (32:58):
Let's see? Uh. This one, this person compiled a bunch
of stuff that their cousin had once told them this
sony is when NASA said they had found signs of
signs of water on Mars. My cousin literally thought they
were actual signs saying water this way.

Speaker 6 (33:23):
And the craziest part was they were in English.

Speaker 2 (33:30):
And the crazier part.

Speaker 1 (33:32):
Was it were no let's see. This person also said
another a different commenter, My cousin has also given me
a couple of good ones. I was drinking out of
a slanted wine wineglass, you know when the room is slanted.

(33:54):
I went to take a drink and she bolted out
of her chair, telling me to stop because she thought
I was gonna spill wine on myself. Well, she also
said that reindeer have antenna. She dead ass looked at
my brother and told him he should put an air
conditioner on his motorcycle. She said she doesn't like wearing
socks because she can't.

Speaker 7 (34:13):
Fill the floor.

Speaker 3 (34:15):
Okay, huh, yeah, that is.

Speaker 1 (34:19):
These are somethings. These are some things that you say
with your whole chest. Some of the ones told me
that non identical twins are called nocturnal twins and causing
eighteen month long pregnancynal.

Speaker 6 (34:44):
Twins like, they only come out at night.

Speaker 2 (34:47):
Did you imagine they come out at night?

Speaker 1 (34:52):
You can only get you can only get knocked up
with nocturnal twins at night. Don't bother. Let's see. Okay,
this person said, Oh, the dumbest thing I've ever heard
must have been when someone said that you can smell
a fart after it passes through underwear. If you can

(35:13):
smell a fart after it passes through underwear and genes,
then an N ninety five masks can do absolutely nothing
against COVID.

Speaker 7 (35:22):
You reckon.

Speaker 1 (35:27):
I had to explain to them that fart is a
gas and much has much smaller molecule size than COVID virus,
that the viruses spread through waterdroppoletis, which are much bigger
than gas molecules, and underwear and genes are nowhere near
as tightly knit as the masts are.

Speaker 2 (35:49):
Whoever smelt it spread it.

Speaker 1 (35:54):
Let's see. Okay, this one I don't even understand. I'm
trying to, but I don't.

Speaker 7 (36:00):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (36:02):
This is from a woman at the park my kids
play that we weren't friends, but for a time we sat.
We along with a bunch of other women were at
the park together at the same time.

Speaker 2 (36:12):
That just was the woman.

Speaker 1 (36:14):
Thought, this is mostly her own words. One that medicine doctors,
like from a long time ago, had the job of
giving women boob jobs after having babies, and two this
was needed to be done since boobs boobs had stopped
working after you were done breastfeeding. The working had nothing
to do with the ability to breastfeed. No, she couldn't

(36:35):
explain why in what way boobs stopped working. This was
just to give it stopped working.

Speaker 2 (36:43):
Yeah, I had a boob just you mean, like you
need an underwire. Like, I don't understand.

Speaker 3 (36:49):
Just stop working it. Just like invert, they roll up
and they go home.

Speaker 1 (36:56):
Yeah, they're like, all right, we're done. You hit forty
bye bye. Yep, you had a kid, goodbye.

Speaker 3 (37:03):
You served our purpose in this world.

Speaker 1 (37:06):
One of my buddies in college, who was a history major,
told me that swords and armor didn't exist to like
eleven ad. Oh. Someone once told me that pasturized milk
is from cows that are let out led out to
a pasture. I'm weak. I couldn't correct them because I

(37:27):
was so shocked. I said something like, are you sure
all right?

Speaker 2 (37:32):
And then to finish up.

Speaker 1 (37:34):
Back in nineteen ninety two, I was talking about how
I wanted to see Bram Stoker's Dracula when it came
out in theaters. A girlfriend of my buddies pipes up
and says, Bram A Stoker and Francis Ford Coppola haven't
put out a bad movie yet. I immediately responded with,
that's because Bram Stroker A Stoker has been dead for
like eighty years. But duh. All right, that was a

(38:02):
mixed crop.

Speaker 2 (38:03):
But we did it. We got through it. We had
some laughs. We forgot about how.

Speaker 7 (38:07):
Everything is for a little while.

Speaker 1 (38:09):
Yeah, all right, let's take a week break. We come back.
We got a little bit of feedback. Here we go.

Speaker 2 (38:17):
All right, we are back.

Speaker 1 (38:19):
And we are ready to get into some feedback. The
first bit of feedback is from the Facebook group and.

Speaker 7 (38:24):
It is uh.

Speaker 1 (38:25):
I said, we're recording tonight April first, and Jack replied, sure.

Speaker 2 (38:29):
You are, April fools.

Speaker 1 (38:34):
You're right, we're coming to you from the past, which
I guess technically is true.

Speaker 2 (38:41):
We're from the future.

Speaker 1 (38:45):
Uh, Laura says, talk about Corey Booker and thank you
for continuing doing this wonderful podcast. All right, let's talk
about Corey Booker real quick.

Speaker 4 (38:53):
Let's do it, all right.

Speaker 1 (38:55):
So he broke strom Thurmon's wrecker twenty four hours and
eighteen minutes, I think filibuster to protest the Civil Rights Act.
So Ella's wasn't a filibuster. He basically prevented the Senate
business from continuing for he made it twenty five hours

(39:18):
and five minutes by my clock.

Speaker 2 (39:20):
And it was pretty bad ass.

Speaker 1 (39:23):
I'm not gonna lie.

Speaker 6 (39:24):
It's a very bad time.

Speaker 4 (39:26):
It's very Atlantic like.

Speaker 3 (39:28):
He was not rambly like, he was coherent.

Speaker 1 (39:31):
Yes, and I remember correctly, didn't strom Thurman read the
dictionary or encyclopedia? Out of the encyclopedia?

Speaker 3 (39:38):
Oh, you know that sounds vaguely familiar.

Speaker 6 (39:41):
It does sound vaguely familiar.

Speaker 2 (39:43):
And he was a lot of bathroom break in which
Corey Booker was not.

Speaker 6 (39:48):
Oh my god, and that alone would yeah, would eliminate me,
I don't. I can physically do that.

Speaker 1 (39:55):
I know because even acknowledged it. When Chuck Schumer was like,
and now you've beaten the record, he was like, that's great.

Speaker 2 (40:00):
I just got a few minutes longer.

Speaker 1 (40:01):
And then you know, yeah, I I hour later, yeah,
an hour, A fucking hour later. He's like, I have
some biological needs to attend to. And then he like
waited another hour, and I was like, my god, if
I said I had to pee and like wait another hour,
like I'd be in the car driving. It wouldn't be
like I have a bathroom twenty feet away from my chamber.

Speaker 4 (40:24):
Well do you think he like prepared?

Speaker 3 (40:26):
You know, probably, you know, I imagine, you know, you
carb up and you maybe dehydrate yourself a little bit.

Speaker 1 (40:36):
Yeah, because I saw there was a bunch of waters
in front of him, and earlier today they each had
like a.

Speaker 2 (40:41):
Sip or two taken from them, but not much. And
then I think there.

Speaker 1 (40:46):
Was like basically full by the end of the night,
like whatever was brought to him.

Speaker 2 (40:51):
But he started it by quoting John Lewis. He finished it.

Speaker 1 (40:55):
He really stuck the landing. The last hour he talked
hour and a half, he talked about John Lewis. He
promised to make him proud. He said it was time
again for Democrats to make good trouble. So he was
telling this story about we've heard this before. He's told
you before about how the white attorney helped his parents

(41:16):
get the house they otherwise would have not been eligible
for in New Jersey because his father was black. And
I know he's told that story before, but he like
told it again and he said, like, uh, when John
Lewis like crossed that bridge or whatever, there was this
white guy in a couch on a couch in New
Jersey who was watching TV and thought like, you know,

(41:38):
I want to be able to do something, but I
can't do it.

Speaker 2 (41:41):
I can't afford to go to Alabama. What can I do?

Speaker 1 (41:44):
And the man said, in that moment, he said, in
a moral moment in America, I'm not gonna let my
inability to do everything undermine my determination to do something.
I thought that was.

Speaker 6 (41:55):
Awesome, Yeah, that's great.

Speaker 7 (41:58):
And you know, then.

Speaker 1 (42:01):
The guy ended up being, you know, one of the
people that helped his parents secure their home when otherwise
they would have been seg like you know, subjecty segregation.
So then he finished it with like my generation, like
this is the moment, like it's time for generations to
step up. My generation is being called home and like
he just talked again about making good trouble and it

(42:23):
was an excellent I did not watch all twenty five
hours of it, but I did.

Speaker 3 (42:29):
I had it might have been the only one who did.

Speaker 1 (42:32):
Chris Murphy. You know something that doesn't surprise me. Chris
Murphy is also a tank. He's a machine.

Speaker 3 (42:37):
Yep.

Speaker 1 (42:38):
Well, and I guess they had a romance going on.

Speaker 3 (42:41):
Yeah, and I don't know how much like you, you
probably know more about this than I do. But I
guess Corey Booker had sort of stood with Chris Murphy
when he filibustered on gun control several years ago.

Speaker 1 (42:52):
And so it was ten years ago at this point.

Speaker 2 (42:54):
They said it was right. It was a year after. No,
it was a year.

Speaker 1 (42:59):
After after pulse and Pulse happened, or oh, I'm sorry,
it was when pulse happened, and Pulse happened when Zachary
was two years old. It happened on the day before
day before he turned two.

Speaker 3 (43:12):
I believe got it, got it. But yeah, all's to
say it was very much like you had my back
and I'm going to have your back this time, which
was very commendable.

Speaker 1 (43:23):
Very commendable, and there's a lot of camaraderie like throughout,
you know, like there was a lot and apparently it
had like millions upon millions of views. His TikTok account,
like his social media team was working in overtime to
share clips, And honestly, I don't know if it's going
to make a difference, because we've got people like Elon

(43:44):
Musk out there who are literally buying elections, and I
don't know how you combat that.

Speaker 2 (43:50):
But I do think that while we are.

Speaker 1 (43:54):
In a moment where the state media hasn't completely taken
over and opposition media is still allowed to speak on
like in like Russia or China where that stuff is
blocked out, that you need to get the message out
in any way you can as the walls are closing in.

Speaker 3 (44:14):
And I think, sorry, I finished your thought.

Speaker 7 (44:17):
That was it?

Speaker 1 (44:17):
That was it?

Speaker 3 (44:19):
Yeah, I certainly think I don't you know, I don't
want to call this a stunt because I think that
diminishes what he was trying to accomplish. But I think
something it's like a good thing to get caught trying. Yes,
you know that. I think this I think you can

(44:40):
call it a success because it caught the media cycle
the way it did. Yes that like people that don't
watch politics, it's like nobody's hanging out watching c SPAN
on a Tuesday, and people were turning it, tuning in
to watch this. I think that's something that's and.

Speaker 1 (44:58):
They were tuning in also because everybody wants to watch
somebody break a record.

Speaker 3 (45:04):
I mean that is there's nothing more American then.

Speaker 2 (45:09):
Sports exactly.

Speaker 1 (45:11):
But that's the thing is nobody if he stood up
there and he wasn't going for a record, I don't
think that America would have cared as much as they
did politics.

Speaker 3 (45:20):
But make it sports.

Speaker 2 (45:22):
Politics would make it sports. And that's exactly it.

Speaker 1 (45:25):
And I think that that is exactly it because I
tuned in. I tuned in, like I saw a little
bit of it last night and then I was like, oh, whatever.
And then when I woke up and I went to
Purebar and I checked the news at like ten thirty,
and I was like, oh my god, he's still going.

Speaker 2 (45:42):
And then I was like, Oh, this is gonna be interesting.

Speaker 1 (45:45):
And I started streaming it from about ten forty in
the morning and kept it was on in the background
the whole time, and I kept popping in and out
to see what was going on since then.

Speaker 2 (45:56):
Because I was I was like, all right, I am
invested now.

Speaker 1 (45:58):
Like tell me what you got to say?

Speaker 2 (46:00):
Say?

Speaker 1 (46:00):
This is more than most Democrats. I mean, this is
the most publicity that democrats are getting. Like I understand
some people are trying, Like Chris Murphy's out there every day,
AOC and Bernie are out there all the time. Tim
Walls the worst thing they ever did was not let
Tim Walls be Tim Walls. But he's out there being

(46:22):
Tim Walls again, and like he's getting publicity. But like
you know, this is probably like one of the biggest things.
And because even Fox News, what are they gonna do
to cover politics? There's he literally took up all the air.
They had to have Elon Musk on to distract. Yeah,
like there was nothing else to cover. So that is awesome.

Speaker 3 (46:45):
Yeah, well, and I think it also the smart thing
about it is that like Corey Booker is not necessarily
a politician that speaks for just the sake of hearing
the sound of his own voice, Like he is much
more controlled with his public image.

Speaker 4 (47:04):
I guess so, like he's not.

Speaker 3 (47:06):
Someone that's just always out there, like swinging in every pitch, like,
you know, complaining about everything, you know, just like being
out there for the sake of like having his face
and a camera. So I think it has more impact, Yeah,
because it's like he had something to say.

Speaker 1 (47:24):
Guys. According to Dennis's post, Susan Crawford one in this
in the Wisconsin Supreme Court race.

Speaker 3 (47:32):
Ma, oh my no, the that's not the good part.

Speaker 1 (47:37):
Are we sure?

Speaker 2 (47:38):
Fifty seven to forty two?

Speaker 6 (47:40):
Wh wow?

Speaker 2 (47:45):
Oh my god? Is this an April fools?

Speaker 1 (47:48):
Dennis, don't be April fooling us.

Speaker 6 (47:50):
Don't be April when we can't record. I had just assumed.

Speaker 1 (47:54):
I just assumed because Republicans won all the races in Florida.
I just assumed.

Speaker 2 (47:59):
Oh, Elon wants to Holy shit.

Speaker 1 (48:02):
I'm so sorry. I did not mean to cut you off.

Speaker 3 (48:05):
No, not at all.

Speaker 4 (48:06):
I was done. I was done.

Speaker 3 (48:09):
But now I'm like to the internet, let's confirm this.

Speaker 6 (48:11):
I know.

Speaker 1 (48:15):
Oh my god, please don't let this. Oh my god.

Speaker 4 (48:17):
Oh it's real.

Speaker 6 (48:21):
Wait wait wait wait I've been called it yet.

Speaker 2 (48:24):
They have not officially called it because the.

Speaker 6 (48:27):
Early votes were like, you know, skewing Democrat.

Speaker 1 (48:33):
Okay, but what does what does the I've seen enough
guy say?

Speaker 3 (48:37):
Who see I've seen enough guy?

Speaker 1 (48:39):
Yeah, well you know I've seen enough, and he's always.

Speaker 3 (48:42):
Right, No I do. I still don't know what you're
talking about. I literally said I've seen enough. I don't
know what that means, and then you just set it
back to me. I still don't know that.

Speaker 6 (48:57):
The boats have been reported, and as of right now,
she's at fifty six.

Speaker 1 (49:03):
At forty was the eye Wasserman's the I've seen enough guy,
and nine minutes ago he said, I've seen enough. Susan
Crawford defeats Brad Schmiel in the Supreme Court election.

Speaker 2 (49:18):
So I don't know if it's that big. It probably will.

Speaker 3 (49:21):
Now, probably something from a minute a minute ago. Let
me see if I can open.

Speaker 2 (49:25):
Okay, guys, count I love doing these things with you.

Speaker 1 (49:30):
I I I love and hate that election nights are Tuesday.

Speaker 4 (49:34):
Yeah, yeah, no. New York Times is also saying, uh
oh ah, sorry, oh.

Speaker 10 (49:43):
Nope, just locked me out, not me, doesn't her Yeah,
our forecast things Crawford has more outstanding votes than Shimmel, so.

Speaker 2 (49:55):
So they are predicting that she won. Yeah, and these
I mean, I know, but to be.

Speaker 1 (50:03):
Fair, Wasserman, the New York Times polls like those, they're
like actually like they're pretty in tune with the electorate.

Speaker 3 (50:13):
Oh I did post something from a minute ago too.

Speaker 1 (50:16):
Oh yeah, yeah, what does WAPO say?

Speaker 8 (50:17):
Hold on?

Speaker 3 (50:18):
Hold on, I'm floating it.

Speaker 1 (50:22):
Oh, by the way, if everybody's doing mad at the
New York Times or whatever, you guys just do what
I do.

Speaker 2 (50:28):
I cancel every year and then they offer me to
renew like a day later at one nine a month.
So I've consistently used that strategy for about seven years.

Speaker 4 (50:37):
Now, why are you blowing up your own spot? I
don't know.

Speaker 1 (50:46):
I'm just saying I don't think I've ever paid more
than four uh twenty nine a month over the course
of five years.

Speaker 3 (50:58):
I'm sorry, Okay. Uh So Washington Post is saying Crawford
is leading an estimated forty forty three point nine percent.
That just updated of votes have been counted and it's
fifty six point six percent Crawford forty three point four percent. Shimmel,

(51:21):
is that how I pronounce that?

Speaker 2 (51:23):
I don't know, Smiel Shmiel.

Speaker 3 (51:25):
Shamil Shimmel, I think, but yeah, this seems to be
a live map, so they seem to be updating.

Speaker 1 (51:32):
We okay, we will change that.

Speaker 3 (51:35):
Yeah, I'll leave that open while we while we talk.

Speaker 1 (51:38):
Fantastic, and I'll leave the New York Times went okay.

Speaker 6 (51:42):
Fanness, you have my cousin who lives in Wisconsin is posted.

Speaker 3 (51:46):
I hope they voted, and everyone that they know told
everyone they know to vote.

Speaker 6 (51:51):
Very very loudly.

Speaker 2 (51:53):
Anyway, I'm so sorry derail us, Amanda.

Speaker 1 (51:56):
I'm so sorry.

Speaker 4 (51:57):
I just I no, No, that was a good derailment.

Speaker 3 (51:59):
I was done with. I made my point, okay, much
like much like Core Booker, I had said.

Speaker 4 (52:03):
All I had to say.

Speaker 3 (52:06):
Was talking, but I just didn't stick the landing as well.

Speaker 1 (52:09):
Yeah, well, you know you took about twenty five minutes
and four minutes twenty five hours in four minutes less.

Speaker 3 (52:16):
Yeah truly, I mean, could you stibustering anything? I feel
like I can't get hold of coherent thought for five
minutes a littleone twenty five.

Speaker 1 (52:22):
You'd need the encyclopedia.

Speaker 3 (52:25):
Yeah, I just don't have that much to say.

Speaker 1 (52:28):
I don't know all I'm saying any words. I feel
like I could do a good filibuster.

Speaker 3 (52:34):
Yeah, you probably could, you'd be fine.

Speaker 2 (52:36):
I would talk a shitload.

Speaker 3 (52:37):
Yeah, but the problem is I talk.

Speaker 1 (52:40):
More when I drink more, and I can't drink while
i'm doing that because A it's kind of and B
and I have to p But I'm also not opposed
to being like bed pants, like bed pans, like the Founders, like.

Speaker 6 (52:55):
The Founders, Yes intended, I wonder if I don't work
too Yeah, how many times? How many times can you
pee in an adult dip before you have to change
it once? So it's really not gonna have to make
well yeah, but like they get out because then you've

(53:15):
broken the steel and if you're like yeah, yeah.

Speaker 1 (53:20):
Critique also though, to be fair, like Donald Trump allegedly
uses adult diapers to ship himself and all those people
are fine with that.

Speaker 2 (53:30):
So where's the standard here?

Speaker 1 (53:34):
Okay? Uh so yes, Corey Booker, sorry, Laura, it was amazing.
It was it was like, very well done. Yeah, I
love I loved a lot of what he said. Good
trouble all the way.

Speaker 3 (53:49):
Yep, it's a good guy.

Speaker 6 (53:52):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (53:52):
The next up, we've got some Matt's pointing and he
says Jay Moore isn't in, can't hardly wait, Well, fuck
you might did we.

Speaker 4 (54:00):
Say he was?

Speaker 7 (54:02):
I did?

Speaker 1 (54:04):
Who am I?

Speaker 6 (54:04):
Oh?

Speaker 2 (54:04):
I think have even hembry?

Speaker 3 (54:06):
Oh my god? How dare you compare him to?

Speaker 1 (54:09):
They look a lot alike though I love even Embry.

Speaker 7 (54:15):
Too, Okay, just kidding.

Speaker 1 (54:17):
He also says, also one of them days just hit Netflix.
This is a Speaky Palmer comedy. Yes, that's right, watch
that still good? Thank you for learning us now, Yeah,
and then some number stuff. Twenty twenty five is the
first year that's a square since nineteen thirty six, and
we can and so we can feel old. Colleen Shandy

(54:40):
and I have now turned fifteen thousand days old. Wow,
which means, Amanda, I think you're like fourteen thousand, nine
hundred and eighty.

Speaker 3 (54:54):
I'm grateful for every day.

Speaker 6 (54:59):
A the first year. This is the first year that's
a square since nineteen thirty six, and it's almost kind
of like we're in nineteen thirty six.

Speaker 1 (55:07):
Yes, wow, what an interesting parallel Math is not always great, no, No,
If you subscribe to like the numerology theory of the
universe and like how math, you know everything was happened
before happened again mathematically predetermined like that is a very.

Speaker 3 (55:24):
Good argument for it.

Speaker 7 (55:27):
That we you know, I don't know, don't do that,
yeah at yeah.

Speaker 6 (55:34):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (55:35):
He also finished Parable this so Or a few weeks ago. Nice, which, yeah,
I know I need to get on that. I haven't
read really any.

Speaker 3 (55:41):
Books, so I'm still waiting for Parable of the Talent
I think I last I checked, I'm like forty six
in line. You know.

Speaker 6 (55:50):
I got it from the library and I started reading
it and I read I can't remember how many pages,
but then I just kind of petered out. I decided
I decided to return it, move on to something else.

Speaker 3 (56:03):
That's a bummer.

Speaker 7 (56:04):
Good for you.

Speaker 1 (56:05):
Life's too short.

Speaker 3 (56:06):
Yeah. Yeah, well we'll see, Yeah, yeah, we'll see.

Speaker 2 (56:13):
We'll compare to it.

Speaker 6 (56:15):
I mean it could just be like that. I wasn't
in that sort of like mind space.

Speaker 3 (56:19):
That's fair.

Speaker 1 (56:20):
Yeah, yes.

Speaker 2 (56:24):
It uh yeah, where we are in the days.

Speaker 1 (56:28):
Where you need to be in the space for certain
things for sure.

Speaker 3 (56:31):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (56:33):
Okay, Jim says, does your bike pump have a pressure gauge?
If not, you should get a new one. And your
tires have their recommending pressure on oither side. Okay. Yeah,
So I bought this off a marketplace a while ago,
and I they had like I had offered them like
way less than what it was worth, and they accepted it.
And I think it's because the tire was ship and

(56:56):
they knew I'd have to replace it, but they didn't
want to put that in the advertisement. I was like
twenty twenty when I got it, maybe even before then,
so I think that it needed a new tire from then,
and that's why they were like, Okay, let me just
get rid of this stupid bike that I don't need,
that needs a new tire.

Speaker 2 (57:15):
Yeah, and that's I just got to get around to it.

Speaker 1 (57:17):
And honestly, Jim, everybody, I am so lazy and I
have so many other things that that is so low
on my list, but I really do need to.

Speaker 2 (57:26):
Up that says halfway through Adolescence.

Speaker 1 (57:31):
I agree with Shandy's thoughts. Tough subject matter, but executed
it perfectly. And I think that that leads us into
an email from Jamie Joe that was also adolessons.

Speaker 6 (57:41):
I can read that. I so the last episode, Frank
coulded up falling asleep, not any knock on the episode.
He was just really tired, yeah when he finished it,
So I like finished it then realized that he was sleeping.
And last night he went back to finish the part
he hadn't seen, and I wasn't gonna watch, but then
I ended up like just sitting down and watching the

(58:04):
end again, which is so yeah, it's pretty fresh.

Speaker 3 (58:08):
In my mind.

Speaker 6 (58:09):
Okay, So Jamie Joe writes in about Adolescence, So I'm
halfway through watching Adolescents, and that would be two episodes
because it's a four episode mini serious watching. She's watching
with her fourteen year old. It's very well, it's heartbreaking,
thank you my words exactly. My kids do have phones

(58:31):
that have monitoring apps. Most things like YouTube, Spotify, et cetera.
Are blocked and they're under serious parental surveillance. They have
designated phone times, and they do not go to school
with them. They get checked in and checked out.

Speaker 7 (58:47):
Oh my fourteen year old.

Speaker 6 (58:48):
Yeah, my fourteen year old has a watch he can
text me with from school in emergency. Absolutely no social
media allowed. And I've had to battle with him about
it one or twice because so many parents allow their
ninth graders to have things like Snapchat.

Speaker 3 (59:05):
But I won't budge.

Speaker 6 (59:06):
Yeah, as the year has moved along, he has seen
the reasoning behind it, as he's watched countless drama evolve
at school because of it, but he still thinks I'm
the strictest parent there.

Speaker 3 (59:19):
He may be right.

Speaker 6 (59:22):
Honestly, I'd rather they not have phones and maybe just
to watch. But we live in a really difficult time
to monitor at all. Here's what prompted me to allow
my team of phone. Their school issues chromebooks to all
of their students. They use a program called Canvas. It's
a learning management system to do ninety nine percent of
their school work. The school has put up safeguards for monitors.

(59:47):
The school has put up safeguards and monitors what they
can budget for, but kids are always finding ways around
all of the affordable monitoring, including Google Docs. The kids
have chat rooms through Google Docs and they disguise them
as study guides or homework. Wow, that's actually really smart.

(01:00:07):
I usually go through his docks here and there, and
I have found some concerning content in these matths.

Speaker 3 (01:00:14):
Wow.

Speaker 6 (01:00:16):
We've spoke with the school and they basically offer no
solution because Google itself doesn't offer better ways to monitor
the docks. My son was using them as a way
to chat with his buddy his buddies after school, but
there's no monitoring. I get that he wants to talk
to his friends. We don't live in town or near
the neighborhood where most of them live in the so

(01:00:40):
on the weekends that was his only way. After finding
all of these large chats with up to twenty kids
in each, we realized we either were going to have
to cut him off socially or give him a safer option.
I guess nobody has landlines anymore. So yeah, so we
allowed the phone. Still not a fan, but it is

(01:01:01):
fairly manageable in comparison to the chromebook situation. We are
saving to get him and his sister their own chromebook
so that we can apply them monitoring, so that we
can apply the monitoring that their phones have to their chromebooks.
I will say that his disdain for the andrew Tates

(01:01:23):
of the world has offered us a small bit of
peace in his ability to see serious offense and stand
against it should he come across it online and adolescence
has also been a good way to open the door
to more conversation. Now, with his little sister heading into
middle school, he also has more sense of the need

(01:01:44):
to create safe spaces and avoid the more toxic online interactions.
But he has said he's afraid for her when they
hand her that chromebook. Next year, we have our work
cut out for us. I can't believe the trenches placed
in front of our children, Colleen. I applaud you and
Jay's efforts to keep the boys from the unnecessary trials.

(01:02:05):
You're doing right by them. They will eventually stumble across them,
but I know you guys will do all you can
to prepare them the best you can. As for the
educators out there, bless you. I don't know how you
keep your heads above water. It's got to be a nightmare.

Speaker 5 (01:02:21):
Uh.

Speaker 6 (01:02:21):
There's a scene in Adolescence that walks through classrooms in
the courtyard of the school, and I think there's five
different times you hear a teacher say put your phones away.
We want our kids to have the world, to gain
as much knowledge and understanding of all things not exactly
like them as they can to form intelligence, empathy, and compassion.
But the world is also filled with ghouls and mistakes

(01:02:43):
that carry in unimaginable that carry unimaginable consequences. Parenting perhaps
always has been, but is now highly concentrated on opening
a window for our children to see out of while
keeping them hidden from predators looking in and maybe that's
what the phone, tablets, laptops, snapchat in says, and twitters
should really be looked at as windows. Anyway, Thanks for

(01:03:07):
reading my novella titled Parenting in the Modern Age is
a fucking mind Game. Next week I'll submit the next one,
titled but Damn They're cue when They's asleep. I love y'all, Jamie, Joe, Oh.

Speaker 2 (01:03:25):
Yes, thank you Jamie. That was so much there, like,
thank you so much. It was like you were speaking
to me, but like, you know, five years in the future.

Speaker 1 (01:03:36):
So thank you.

Speaker 3 (01:03:41):
Sorry, I don't understand.

Speaker 1 (01:03:42):
Oh my god. Yeah a lot.

Speaker 6 (01:03:53):
I can't even imagine navigating all of this, and hats
off to all of you.

Speaker 1 (01:03:58):
It was also tough because I feels like Jamie gives
me hope because it doesn't.

Speaker 7 (01:04:02):
Feel like a losing battle.

Speaker 1 (01:04:04):
Right. You can delete the YouTube app off of the TV,
but they're still gonna find other ways to whatever. So
it's just yeah, yeah, yeah, So I keep seeing more
people talk about adolescents.

Speaker 6 (01:04:22):
It's worth watching.

Speaker 1 (01:04:24):
That's when I keep yes, like's it seems to have
caught on since you guys have talked, since you and
Frank were talking about it, and I didn't go into it.

Speaker 6 (01:04:35):
It's not usually something I would the kind of thing
I would choose. It's definitely a fronc choice.

Speaker 3 (01:04:40):
But then you know, as.

Speaker 6 (01:04:42):
Often happens, like I'm glad I watched it. Don't tell
on that, but I will not say a word.

Speaker 3 (01:04:50):
The right time to watch something that heavy, I feel
like it would really with my ability to like sleep
and like exactly that's where you watch like Muddy thinking that,
like like it would be very difficult.

Speaker 6 (01:05:06):
That's yeah, it's real intense for me, I will say
for me personally, the first episode was the most intense one,
and like my viewing experience was a little bit. It's
still the whole thing is heartbreaking from start to finish,
but the first one was the one that was really like,
oh my god. And it was after that one that
I was like, am I going to be able to
actually like watch this all the way through? But it

(01:05:28):
is easier to watch after that. So if you can
get through the first one, it's you know.

Speaker 7 (01:05:35):
Okay, good to know, okay, but yeah, yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:05:41):
Checking back in, Susan Crawford is still winning. Her lead
has closed a little bit, but she's still in the lead.
So that's cool and refreshing.

Speaker 2 (01:05:51):
Twitter.

Speaker 1 (01:05:53):
A lot of Democrats, a lot of prominent Democrat crats,
including Governor Tim Walls and John Vava and Tommy Vitur,
are also claiming victory. So okay, okay, I don't know really,
Decision Desk is that the CNN one.

Speaker 3 (01:06:11):
I can't remembers, Maybe.

Speaker 2 (01:06:16):
Because this is that Karnaki. Man, I can't believe I've
gone through.

Speaker 3 (01:06:22):
The other guy.

Speaker 2 (01:06:24):
I've gone through a whole thing, but I did without Kernaki.

Speaker 1 (01:06:28):
But yes, they predict Crawford too, And the New York
Times actually does have a uh you know, I'm so sorry,
is it New York Times?

Speaker 3 (01:06:40):
Yes?

Speaker 1 (01:06:40):
New York Times has a graphic of estimator of vote
votes remaining, and it's like Madison, Milwaukee, Green Bay, like
the big and that's why they're projecting that.

Speaker 7 (01:06:53):
She's gonna win, which.

Speaker 1 (01:06:56):
I don't even I don't even want to think about it.
We can gloat next week.

Speaker 6 (01:07:00):
Yeah, I know, I don't want to counting.

Speaker 1 (01:07:04):
Yeah, I mean, if Elon hasn't gotten to the ketymine yet,
then his people could still still be at work here,
like Milwaukee could magically turn red.

Speaker 2 (01:07:16):
Okay, let's finish up with an email from Andy and
then a master she said, and we'll you know, be done,
be done.

Speaker 1 (01:07:26):
That's what finishing up means.

Speaker 2 (01:07:27):
Corey Booker.

Speaker 3 (01:07:30):
An hour later.

Speaker 4 (01:07:32):
This week and this week and Andy's.

Speaker 6 (01:07:35):
Oh, virginity sorry for the whole time.

Speaker 12 (01:07:38):
Okay, I don't know if that was just like, oh,
I thought he was just like getting cool in him
and that's what I thought.

Speaker 3 (01:07:43):
That dropped JK.

Speaker 6 (01:07:47):
No, I think that was just just to me.

Speaker 3 (01:07:50):
Okay, this week and Andy's virginity done. Hey, brods, I'm
sorry I didn't write last week. Too busy trying to
keep off of hexas screw chats.

Speaker 2 (01:08:02):
Just watch the SNL sketch about it. So funny is it?

Speaker 1 (01:08:08):
So it's hag Seth and he starts a group chat
with a bunch of high school girls like they bring
on like Marco Rubio and everybody else of dadi Vance
and like they bring them all on.

Speaker 2 (01:08:21):
And the girls are still trying to be like, no, really,
we are in high school. And they're like, haha, that's
such a funny joke.

Speaker 8 (01:08:28):
Blah blah blah, and they're like no really, And then
it ends with one of the girls being like, well,
I have to go I have a date with Matt
and they're like Gates and She's like, yes, I highly.

Speaker 2 (01:08:44):
Recommend going and watching it.

Speaker 1 (01:08:45):
It's very funny.

Speaker 3 (01:08:47):
Okay, I will check it out.

Speaker 12 (01:08:49):
It's the one with Mikey Madison his host. Okay, sorry,
all right, back to Andy. Uh, not much to say
again this week. As you're recording this it is April
Fool Day. I wanted to remind you that I'll never
do a dumb April Fools where I tell you some
great news about my love life only to say it
was a joke. I want your initial reaction to be

(01:09:09):
for actual good news. The closest I've gotten would be
to write a fake letter that Andrea would write to
the broadcast. But I couldn't find the right angle for
your honesty. Well that's all I got. Stay strong, everybody.
Let's keep building on this momentum and move forward hashtag
I'm with hers Andy.

Speaker 2 (01:09:29):
Yeah, let's move on the momentum.

Speaker 6 (01:09:31):
Yes, yes, and.

Speaker 2 (01:09:35):
Yeah, yes, thank you Andy.

Speaker 7 (01:09:42):
Look forward to what you have to say next week.

Speaker 2 (01:09:45):
Okay, let's finish up with the match, she said.

Speaker 6 (01:09:49):
I rode through it.

Speaker 3 (01:09:51):
Sorry, I'm scrolling up through to.

Speaker 4 (01:09:56):
Okay, so I pumped it, but I guess I didn't
do it.

Speaker 3 (01:10:00):
Good job.

Speaker 1 (01:10:01):
That was very impressive.

Speaker 6 (01:10:04):
You didn't hit your head. You executed that perfectly.

Speaker 3 (01:10:08):
They don't have the big ones at Walmart.

Speaker 2 (01:10:12):
We'll all be there at the finish line.

Speaker 6 (01:10:17):
There are some feat things.

Speaker 3 (01:10:19):
I'll make sure it's ten minutes here we go. You
might not even need ten minutes there it is.

Speaker 2 (01:10:30):
That was a fun way to get to that.

Speaker 6 (01:10:33):
It was five more minutes.

Speaker 3 (01:10:34):
I swear, look at us.

Speaker 4 (01:10:36):
We made it fifteen minutes. Only five minutes over woo.

Speaker 2 (01:10:42):
All through the big ones.

Speaker 6 (01:10:45):
I look at the length and I'm like, oh, it's
so long.

Speaker 3 (01:10:50):
Why is it so long?

Speaker 2 (01:10:54):
And then, apparently Matt said, Jamie said to Matt, I'm lucky.
It vibrates on my wrist. Oh oh oh no, no,
this is not part of it, part of it.

Speaker 12 (01:11:06):
I think it was.

Speaker 3 (01:11:08):
No.

Speaker 1 (01:11:08):
No, I was talking. We were talking about message, uh
how God and I have the Apple Watch, and we're like,
I'm lucky. Vibrates on my wrists so I don't have
to know my cell.

Speaker 6 (01:11:18):
Yes, And I believe Jamie was adding to the that's
what she does.

Speaker 2 (01:11:21):
Oh okay, thank you, Jamie.

Speaker 3 (01:11:26):
Matt.

Speaker 1 (01:11:26):
We were very lucky. Vibrations all around. That's the first
time we've ever had a added message, she said.

Speaker 7 (01:11:39):
I was very thrown off.

Speaker 2 (01:11:41):
Yeah, thank you.

Speaker 6 (01:11:43):
It was more obvious in the Facebook like post.

Speaker 2 (01:11:46):
Okay, love that. Thank you so much, both of you
appreciate it.

Speaker 1 (01:11:53):
All right.

Speaker 2 (01:11:54):
Well, on that note, thanks everybody for listening. April Fools.

Speaker 1 (01:11:57):
My kids aren't here anymore, my cat's locked out, husband's
probably asleep still early, so we're great.

Speaker 2 (01:12:04):
All right.

Speaker 1 (01:12:05):
Let's hope that the auction results were in a big
April Fools either. Oh, but you know, as as we're
recording this, there is slight hope. But on that note,
thanks for listening everybody. Thank you to the patron especially
the ones that contribute a certain level and that we
can't Wrigen near Maggie the Magnizicine, Joey with the Blend,
