Speaker 1 (00:00):
Cute. You think it's cute, You're a fool.

Speaker 2 (00:04):
It's one more thing.

Speaker 1 (00:06):
I'm strong and getty. One more thing.

Speaker 2 (00:09):
Can I throw him something real quick?

Speaker 3 (00:11):
Just because I just saw it and it's on my
mind share it's a couple of people arguing on Twitter.

Speaker 2 (00:17):
They're like high level journalist types.

Speaker 1 (00:19):
But well, I'm sorry to hear people are yelling at
each other on Twitter. I hope they can settle that
end complete.

Speaker 3 (00:24):
But this is a lifestyle of thing. And the one
person tweeted out, and I don't know anything about this person,
but the one person tweeted out, I'm never planning on
having kids. I'd much rather own a Porsche and have
a Portuguese water dog and a golden doodle. And then
another person responded that with I feel bad for people
who don't have kids because they believe owning a Porsche
is going to be more fulfilling.

Speaker 1 (00:46):
Wow.

Speaker 2 (00:46):
I thought that was a pretty good little battle. I
just can't imagine tweeting that out loud, even back.

Speaker 3 (00:52):
Before I had kids, never planning on I have kids
because I'd much rather own a Porsche.

Speaker 2 (00:58):
Doesn't that sound shallow to you? Even if you, I
mean fine, don't have kids? You know, but doesn't that
sound incredibly shallow to you? I mean to use that
as an example.

Speaker 4 (01:07):
If that's their opinion, I'm kind of glad they're not reproducing.

Speaker 2 (01:10):
That's a pretty good point right there. But do you
use you? I'd rather dedicate my time to art or something. Fine, Okay,
I still think it's wrong.

Speaker 1 (01:17):
But yeah, I just the performative hyper confidence that everybody
has to have on everything, the idea of saying, you know,
it's not right for me now, but maybe someday people
change their minds. I mean, that's just that's not gonna
get likes, that's not gonna get retweets. You gotta be
you're an idiot and I'm great. No, I oh, just

(01:38):
so tiring, just so tiring.

Speaker 2 (01:41):
Well I shouldn't bring this up. I know what you're
gonna say.

Speaker 1 (01:44):
Oh as well, Oh here you go. Here's my favorite
porst joke and I owned one. What's the difference between
a portion of porcupine porcupine that pricks are on the outside.

Speaker 3 (01:58):
Hey, I remember this joke going around high school, which
I thought was awful about this one girl? You know,
it's the difference between.

Speaker 1 (02:06):
Oh no, is this going to make my heart hurt.

Speaker 3 (02:09):
You know, it's a difference between Marcy and a Porsche.
Not everyone's been in a Porsche's.

Speaker 2 (02:16):
That's course.

Speaker 1 (02:16):
I don't like it.

Speaker 3 (02:17):
High school joke. And if that thought that was course,
wait till the rest of the pot. I got two
more things. I thought I had nothing for the podcast.
I got two more things to say.

Speaker 2 (02:24):
One.

Speaker 1 (02:28):
I hope they were more you know, uplifting than that
last one.

Speaker 4 (02:33):
Yeah, that's only up from here.

Speaker 2 (02:34):
Uh.

Speaker 3 (02:36):
I don't want to hurt anybody's It's just a fact.
I know three women in their mid forties who made
the choice in life to be childless and really really
regret it now, really really regret it now, like is
like makes them cry thinking about it.

Speaker 2 (02:58):
So that's common ish common ish. Yeah.

Speaker 4 (03:01):
I have a couple of friends that are in that
exact same boat right now.

Speaker 1 (03:06):
And folks sometimes for medical reasons or sometimes a marriage
goes sideways reasons or whatever, and the window closes. That's
that's very hard for them too.

Speaker 2 (03:15):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (03:16):
Well that's why I threw in the phrase chose, you know,
wasn't a medical thing or something.

Speaker 2 (03:21):
Sure, this was lifestyle. What kind of were you going with?
I'd rather own a.

Speaker 4 (03:25):
Porsche, Yeah, this was like a failed marriage that ended
horribly and she said, screw it, I'm not doing this anymore.
And now we're like years down the road, and she's.

Speaker 3 (03:34):
Like, that is definitely an evange you have a man,
because I didn't. I didn't have kids, so I was
forty five. It was an option for me as a dude. Right,
she's got to find a younger woman. And what was
my other thing? I was gonna say, Oh, so I'm
picking up my son from the high school the other day.
This is on the cruelty of high schoolers. I'm picking
up my son at high school the other day, and
I got my window down and there's this one kid

(03:55):
that forever whatever reason, that has dress shoes on, and
he's walking across the parking lot. He's like wearing khakis
and dress shoes. And some guy goes, oh my god,
hey Jim, look at his shoes. And then they're both
like aha, like so working so hard to laugh, so
hard so they can point at somebody and mock them
and laugh.

Speaker 1 (04:15):
How he's their self esteem by demeanian, Right, yes.

Speaker 3 (04:18):
And you know, as they grown up having lived through that,
when it was painful for me to be on the
wrong end of that. It just looked so ridiculous, Like
why would you ever give a shit what those guys
think about your shoes? It's too bad anybody does I
know everything? Like why people did they pretend to Why
do they need to elevate themselves by trying to make
that person feel worse because they had to go to

(04:40):
their I don't know, they had to go to the
something at the church or funeral or who knows why
they're wearing dress shoes, But it's just it was so like.

Speaker 2 (04:48):
Ha ha, look at his shoes, ha ha ha, what
a dork. I mean it was that my status is
now higher than his.

Speaker 1 (04:55):
Yeah, I would love to leave out to genderbread person
for instance, and maybe just spend ten minutes on that
someday in like fifth grade, I.

Speaker 2 (05:03):
Almost wanted to go over and talk to that guy.

Speaker 3 (05:04):
He didn't seem to be particular botter, but you never
know what's going on inside his brain. Let's say, don't
give a shit with those dicks. Think when you're older,
you will not It will not make any difference whatsoever.

Speaker 4 (05:17):
One of the many reasons why I am so glad
I'm no longer in Icecho.

Speaker 3 (05:20):
No kidding, no, kidding, or at least you have the
mind you have now, I can go back to high
school now would be hilarious. People pointing in laughing over
everything's really what are you doing?

Speaker 2 (05:29):
Whatever? It's just why would I freaking care what you think?

Speaker 1 (05:33):
Oh? That would be you know, it's funny. I was
about to say, I wouldn't sentence al Qaeda to four
years of high school. It's too cruel. On the other hand,
when if you could bring your life experience and confidence back.

Speaker 2 (05:44):
For yeah, oh yeah.

Speaker 1 (05:46):
That would be. That would be super great in some
ways at least yeah huh. Anyway, ah, golly gy, do
I even have the energy to do this?

Speaker 2 (05:58):
Maybe save it for another day your choice.

Speaker 1 (06:03):
On tomorrow's One More Thing podcast.

Speaker 2 (06:05):
We've never done this before. He's ahead to the next
day's podcast.

Speaker 1 (06:10):
I'm a very innovative On tomorrow's One More Thing podcast,

Kingdom you have ever heard or ever will join us

Armstrong and Getty One More Thing. Everybody's looking at me

(06:33):
with terror in their eyes.
