Speaker 1 (00:00):
We got a question for our American mamas. Dear mamas,
what are your most random thoughts?
Speaker 2 (00:05):
Well, let's ask our American mamas.
Speaker 3 (00:08):
Mama, mama, mama.
Speaker 2 (00:12):
Mama told me not to come.
Speaker 1 (00:15):
She said that ain't the way to have fun, no.
And joining us now are American Mamas Terry Nedeville and
Kimberly Burleson. I am desperately afraid of this question because
we've been doing this show now together for a long time.
Speaker 2 (00:31):
And I know a lot of.
Speaker 1 (00:32):
Your thoughts, both of you. But if there's even more
random ones than I know of, I'm just like, I don't.
Maybe we should just skip this one.
Speaker 3 (00:44):
I think your random thoughts say a lot about who
you are, your inner thoughts, what your.
Speaker 2 (00:49):
Mind dwells on. Yeah, I agree with that.
Speaker 3 (00:52):
I was thinking about this the other night, and my
thought was, what did men do before cups were invented
to protect their privates During baseball.
Speaker 2 (01:03):
I have no idea, but that was my random thought.
Speaker 1 (01:06):
The idea, the answer is nothing.
Speaker 4 (01:09):
Yeah, maybe that's why they invented it.
Speaker 1 (01:10):
Walk it off.
Speaker 2 (01:11):
That's it. Walk it off, son.
Speaker 5 (01:13):
Walk it off.
Speaker 1 (01:14):
Exactly.
Speaker 3 (01:14):
I started asking my kids and my family, like, what
are your random thoughts?
Speaker 2 (01:18):
I'm just curious, like, what's your random thoughts? And, Terry,
you said what?
Speaker 4 (01:23):
I said, like, where did knick-knack paddywhack come from? What
is that?
Speaker 1 (01:29):
That's a great question.
Speaker 5 (01:32):
My thoughts before 10.30 p.m. are very different from my
thoughts after 10.30 p.m.
Speaker 4 (01:38):
But what I love is.
Speaker 5 (01:39):
You can grab your phone now and you can chat
GPT or GROC and say, how did this occur?
Speaker 4 (01:48):
When did this happen? Or why did people name it this?
Speaker 5 (01:50):
Or whatever. And Kevin does that all the time. We'll
be talking and some phrase will come up and he goes,
I wonder where that phrase came from.
Speaker 4 (01:57):
And he wants to know immediately.
Speaker 1 (02:00):
Yeah. I'll do that on the etymology of words a lot.
I'll go through where that word come from and things
like that.
Speaker 3 (02:06):
Yeah. Okay.
Speaker 2 (02:08):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (02:09):
So Google is your way to deal with these random thoughts.
Speaker 2 (02:13):
Well, Terry was really bad.
Speaker 3 (02:14):
I even had to tell her to pull back because
she also would Stevapedia, and she would ask you a
million questions.
Speaker 2 (02:21):
If she has a thought, she'll just send it to you.
Speaker 4 (02:23):
He's as good as Grok.
Speaker 2 (02:25):
Why did you tell her to stop that? Because she
was doing it all the time.
Speaker 1 (02:28):
I have no other purpose in life.
Speaker 3 (02:30):
Thank you.
Speaker 4 (02:31):
That's it. Thank you, Steven.
Speaker 2 (02:33):
My word, if I don't have that, what do I have?
Speaker 4 (02:37):
Yeah, she kind of started calling you Steve-opedia.
Speaker 5 (02:40):
Yeah. Yeah, but it is, I love it personally. Here's another,
here's an example of how I used it recently. Okay,
I'm getting past the thoughts and onto the grok or
the chat GPT because a lot of people will use
that to figure out the answers to their questions. But
this is what I love about it. I have a
(03:00):
little fourth grade group that I do a Bible study
for twice a month. And so recently I was trying
to think of what kind of art activities you'll want
to do with the Fruit of the Spirit because I
want to talk to them about the Fruit of the Spirit. Right.
Speaker 4 (03:11):
And I thought, God, you know, coming up with stuff.
And I thought, well, I'm just going to ask.
Speaker 5 (03:15):
When I tell you the activities that it came up
with in a split second.
Speaker 3 (03:19):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (03:20):
I got online. I ordered some of the stuff, the
supplies that I'll need.
Speaker 5 (03:23):
It's going to be so much fun for these girls
to learn about the Fruit of the Spirit while they're
working on this fun art project that will make sense.
Speaker 4 (03:30):
And I think, oh, my gosh.
Speaker 2 (03:31):
It's made us smarter.
Speaker 5 (03:33):
I don't know if it's made us smarter or dumber.
Speaker 3 (03:35):
It has. It made us, even the most random ideas,
the random thoughts. You know, Shane told me that the
other day she thought, how does somebody walk without a
big toe? Yeah.
Speaker 2 (03:46):
So she looks it up.
Speaker 3 (03:47):
So now if that conversation ever happens, she's that much
smarter to know.
Speaker 4 (03:52):
Tell them what stones are.
Speaker 1 (03:54):
By the way, I know how you walk without a
big toe because when I hurt my toe.
Speaker 4 (03:59):
You need that toe. You need that big toe for balance.
You hobble.
Speaker 1 (04:02):
You hobble is what you do.
Speaker 3 (04:04):
Well, you actually push off the big toe.
Speaker 2 (04:06):
That's how important the big toe is.
Speaker 3 (04:08):
You push off of the big toe.
Speaker 4 (04:10):
I know.
Speaker 3 (04:10):
And without it, you have a different gait and you
have to relearn how to walk.
Speaker 4 (04:14):
You do. You know all of it now. I do.
Speaker 3 (04:16):
I know.
Speaker 2 (04:17):
I didn't need Grok to tell me that.
Speaker 4 (04:19):
Well, we did.
Speaker 1 (04:20):
I just had to break my code.
Speaker 3 (04:22):
I asked Stone what are his random thoughts. He said, well,
you used to call them shower thoughts because that's when
you have random thoughts. But he said, I have 1,000
a day. And he said, the very last one I
did was today. And my question was, what was the
percentage of people that died during the bubonic plague?
Speaker 2 (04:41):
And I was like, really?
Speaker 3 (04:42):
And he goes, yeah, it was about 20%. He said
the population went from 500 million to 375 million.
Speaker 4 (04:48):
I thought, I like going to that.
Speaker 2 (04:48):
That's so interesting.
Speaker 3 (04:50):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (04:50):
And it varied depending upon where it was. There were
some places that were hit by the bubonic plague more
than others. So the fatality rate was actually over 40%
in some locations.
Speaker 3 (04:57):
Yes.
Speaker 4 (04:58):
Do you see why I called him?
Speaker 2 (04:59):
Yeah, I know.
Speaker 4 (05:00):
Before I had Grok and ChatGPT.
Speaker 1 (05:02):
And I don't know why I know that.
Speaker 4 (05:04):
Because you can retain things.
Speaker 5 (05:06):
Like, I remember going to the library at Rosa Scott
in Mississippi in junior high and having loads of encyclopedias
and books and I think she gave.
Speaker 4 (05:18):
Me the subject matter Galileo. Yeah. And so I was looking. Now,
these kids, all they have to do is not even
leave their bedroom.
Speaker 3 (05:26):
Right.
Speaker 4 (05:26):
Ask, and it's all right there.
Speaker 1 (05:29):
But do you retain it?
Speaker 5 (05:30):
No.
Speaker 2 (05:30):
Without the effort to.
Speaker 4 (05:31):
Put it in. That's why I said, are we getting dumber?
Speaker 3 (05:34):
I'll retain the big toe information. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (05:37):
But I won't retain any history.
Speaker 1 (05:41):
That seems fair. If you'd like to ask our American
