88 Year old & Megan Farts
00:00:00.080 So, Ken, I have a question for you.
00:00:01.839 >> All right.
00:00:03.600 >> You know, if I farted a lot, would you
00:00:06.720 call 911 on me? [laughter]
00:00:09.920 >> I mean, I guess I do. I You know what? I
00:00:13.280 think this world lies. They act like men
00:00:16.480 are the farters, but women, we’ve got
00:00:19.279 all this stuff. There’s like [laughter]
00:00:22.000 a uterus and ovaries and all of our
00:00:26.480 women have gas. I mean, ladies, are you
00:00:28.720 with me? Like all these women that say
00:00:31.519 they’ve never like farted or like pooped
00:00:34.399 when their husband was home. I I don’t
00:00:37.120 believe it. I really don’t like I think
00:00:40.399 I would explode. [laughter]
00:00:44.399 >> Why?
00:00:44.719 >> I don’t want to see I don’t want to see
00:00:45.840 you try
00:00:47.039 >> treat see Oh, see me try to hold my
00:00:49.600 guest.
00:00:50.079 >> Yeah. Yeah. [laughter]
00:00:51.680 >> Well, there was a real There was a lady
00:00:53.360 that called 911
00:00:55.680 and of course it was in Florida,
00:00:58.239 >> right? and she called and complained
00:01:01.039 that her husband was farting too much.
00:01:02.960 It’s actually made the news.
00:01:04.400 >> Do you think that’s a real story
00:01:06.720 >> from Florida? Yes.
00:01:07.680 >> Yes.
00:01:08.400 >> It’s funny because when we first got
00:01:10.479 together, you were telling me about all
00:01:14.080 the the Florida stories and I was living
00:01:16.799 in Florida and I didn’t realize there
00:01:20.640 was this whole view of Florida outside
00:01:24.159 the state that it was such a crazy
00:01:26.720 state.
00:01:27.439 >> Yes. Growing up in Chicago, you’d hear
00:01:29.920 like, "Oh, a man was wrestling an
00:01:31.600 alligator and then threw in a a chicken
00:01:34.799 and then like drove off with his grandma
00:01:37.600 and she like had a wig that flew off and
00:01:40.240 you were like, "Oh, it must be Florida."
00:01:41.600 Not just because of the alligator.
00:01:43.200 >> Yeah. Well, Jack has told us since that
00:01:45.920 all you do is Google Florida man and it
00:01:48.240 brings up just hundreds and hundreds of
00:01:50.240 these crazy stories. And I didn’t know
00:01:52.399 that at the time, but clearly that’s
00:01:54.159 what it is. So,
00:01:55.680 >> thank goodness you’re not one of those
00:01:57.040 crazies.
00:01:57.920 >> Yeah. So, the lady called 911
00:02:01.520 because her husband was farting too
00:02:03.040 much.
00:02:03.840 >> Yeah. And you know, I do have a double
00:02:05.280 standard. So, if you farted a lot and
00:02:07.759 was gassing me out, I’d probably
00:02:09.840 complain.
00:02:10.800 >> Would you call 911?
00:02:13.920 >> No. [laughter]
00:02:16.560 It’s going overboard. I mean, it
00:02:18.640 actually does bring up an issue because
00:02:20.959 you find out, you’ve showed me videos on
00:02:24.000 YouTube and Tik Tok and things like
00:02:26.000 that, the crazy calls that 911 gets. And
00:02:29.360 it’s a little ridiculous what people are
00:02:31.040 calling for. It’s should be for real
00:02:33.280 emergencies, but we’ve seen some pretty
00:02:35.440 crazy things. I think that ranks.
00:02:36.879 >> We have new chairs, so please bear with
00:02:39.120 me. I’m going to probably be swinging a
00:02:40.800 lot. I love to move back and forth.
00:02:43.096 [laughter]
00:02:44.640 I love movement.
00:02:49.280 Well,
00:02:51.519 did you hear that there was a
00:02:53.840 breakthrough in researchers with spinal
00:02:57.519 cord treatment?
00:02:58.959 >> Yes. So cool. Well, there’s a different
00:03:02.480 thing. There’s like multiple things that
00:03:04.159 they’re doing. Um I know that there’s in
00:03:06.400 the one study it was like in Sweden and
00:03:08.720 this even relates if like doing personal
00:03:11.280 injury. Somebody has a spinal cord
00:03:12.879 injury. One of them that I saw which was
00:03:15.760 kind of cool and I don’t know if this
00:03:17.040 had to do with this particular study was
00:03:19.599 where they put a microchip in the brain
00:03:22.080 and then they put it on the spine and
00:03:24.319 the one doctor said you have to get used
00:03:26.720 to telling your brain to sorry my ear
00:03:29.599 plug telling your brain to talk to your
00:03:33.040 spinal cord. Isn’t that interesting?
00:03:36.000 >> Yeah, it is. is. And so I guess the
00:03:38.000 question is because I I heard I didn’t
00:03:39.760 hear about that one, but I heard about
00:03:42.080 them finding some I don’t know it was a
00:03:45.200 protein or some type of a chemical that
00:03:48.400 helps lay the the lattice work to
00:03:50.799 rebuild the neurons, that kind of thing.
00:03:52.640 >> There’s something like that.
00:03:53.599 >> Yeah. And so I guess the question is,
00:03:55.519 are we there yet? Are they really making
00:03:59.840 breakthroughs to the point where
00:04:01.280 paralyzed people are actually going to
00:04:03.120 be able to walk again?
00:04:04.560 >> I I believe so. I think it’s really cool
00:04:06.720 that we’re always they have to start
00:04:08.560 somewhere.
00:04:09.599 >> Yeah.
00:04:10.239 >> And that’s super exciting for someone,
00:04:12.400 you know, even if they have to use a
00:04:14.239 walker
00:04:15.519 >> to make, you know, their legs are
00:04:16.959 working and they’re able to get up and
00:04:18.639 do things on their own. I mean, I can’t
00:04:20.399 even imagine. I don’t want to imagine
00:04:22.240 the life
00:04:23.440 >> that it’s like to be having to be that,
00:04:28.080 you know, confined,
00:04:30.240 >> right? I mean, I I think they’re making
00:04:33.520 these breakthroughs. I think they’re
00:04:35.040 showing promise, but it doesn’t sound
00:04:37.040 like they’re at the point that people
00:04:38.880 are actually
00:04:39.759 >> No, some of them are.
00:04:41.520 >> They’re only fully like walking like us,
00:04:43.520 >> but from what I showing.
00:04:45.040 >> Yes. Oh, yes.
00:04:46.240 >> That’s incredible.
00:04:46.880 >> They’re actually standing up. And one
00:04:48.960 guy with the brain chip and the uh the
00:04:51.919 spinal chip, he was actually able to
00:04:54.160 walk for a couple minutes and stand up
00:04:55.759 on his own.
00:04:56.880 >> That’s incredible. That’s really really
00:04:59.040 >> with assistance. walking with assistance
00:05:00.639 but stand up on his own for a couple
00:05:02.240 minutes which which is
00:05:03.759 >> I mean it’s so hopeful.
00:05:06.240 >> Yeah. So I guess it’s on the horizon. It
00:05:08.400 may not be widely available to people
00:05:11.840 very soon but it’s at least on the
00:05:13.759 horizon. They’re at least making inroads
00:05:16.479 with it which is is great news.
00:05:18.080 >> Sure. That would be exciting for parents
00:05:19.520 that maybe has have a child that’s
00:05:22.080 thinking you know they might not have to
00:05:23.680 be like that their whole life.
00:05:25.120 >> Yeah. Yeah. That’s really encouraging
00:05:26.960 because I I think it’s probably going to
00:05:28.240 take a while, but
00:05:29.360 >> yeah, super exciting.
00:05:31.600 >> Yes.
00:05:33.440 What’s the next story you got for me,
00:05:35.039 Ken?
00:05:35.759 >> Throw the ball.
00:05:36.639 >> Okay, so here’s the here’s something
00:05:38.560 else. There are schools that are
00:05:42.320 removing symbols of Christmas right now.
00:05:46.400 >> Yeah,
00:05:48.080 >> that’s a little frustrating.
00:05:49.280 >> You know what the thing of it? We were
00:05:50.479 talking about this story last night and
00:05:53.039 I get it. Like America’s all about
00:05:55.440 inclusion. Oh, we can’t let the minority
00:05:57.919 feel bad. We can’t
00:05:59.600 >> But they do celebrate the minority, you
00:06:02.000 know? They celebrate the minority in
00:06:03.600 schools. You were raised Jewish, right?
00:06:06.000 >> And you said that it was almost more of
00:06:08.880 a victim thing where here I’m like,
00:06:10.880 dude, you grew up in the Bible belt
00:06:12.720 where everybody’s Christian.
00:06:14.319 >> Right. Right.
00:06:15.039 >> And your your your you said your parents
00:06:18.319 kind of made you feel bad about that.
00:06:21.120 There was this feeling of, and I’ve
00:06:23.680 talked about this before on the podcast,
00:06:25.440 of being set aside and separate from the
00:06:28.639 main population, and you feel this
00:06:32.160 threat um in in the Jewish community
00:06:36.000 that that the Jewish people are going to
00:06:38.800 be watered down and disappeared. And so,
00:06:41.120 you’re taught to be very protective of
00:06:42.880 that. And it stretches on to uh
00:06:46.160 Christian symbols, Christian holidays,
00:06:48.000 and things like that. And there’s
00:06:49.360 actually this feeling of almost offense
00:06:51.919 like if somebody were to come up and and
00:06:54.080 just randomly say Merry Christmas, you
00:06:57.199 know, I may not have said anything out
00:06:58.960 outright or or you know, there may be
00:07:01.680 people who who’d say it, but you know, a
00:07:03.680 lot of people don’t. But maybe you walk
00:07:05.520 away saying they don’t even know that
00:07:07.120 I’m I’m Jewish. Why would they why would
00:07:09.680 they assume that I celebrate Christmas
00:07:11.440 when you know the reality is that person
00:07:14.560 is just sharing the joy of the season
00:07:17.360 trying to be friendly and there’s
00:07:20.800 there’s a need to not be the victim
00:07:22.960 there.
00:07:23.599 >> Well, what if we grew what if we were in
00:07:25.680 Israel?
00:07:26.800 >> No, it’s a great point.
00:07:27.919 >> And we said you cannot celebrate
00:07:30.160 Hanukkah. There are not just Jewish
00:07:32.400 people here,
00:07:33.199 >> right?
00:07:34.160 >> People would go duh.
00:07:35.919 >> You live in Israel,
00:07:37.039 >> right? or if you’re in Qatar, we we need
00:07:39.599 to celebrate Christmas. I mean, if
00:07:41.440 you’re in these other countries,
00:07:43.599 everyone goes, "Well, duh. That’s their
00:07:46.880 culture,
00:07:47.599 >> right?"
00:07:48.160 >> And America was was, you know,
00:07:55.680 >> founded
00:07:56.160 >> founded on Judeo-Christian values. Sure.
00:07:59.360 And so that’s the majority of what we
00:08:01.440 are. And so it’s interesting that
00:08:04.319 America’s the only place on earth that
00:08:08.960 we always are trying to feel bad for our
00:08:13.199 heritage for the minority. And it’s not
00:08:16.000 that we’re purposely trying to make the
00:08:18.400 minority groups feel bad. Like do you
00:08:21.360 think if you were in Jew Jerusalem or
00:08:23.440 you were in, you know, Israel, do you
00:08:25.680 think that if they came up to you and
00:08:26.800 said, "Happy Hanukkah," and you weren’t
00:08:29.120 Jewish, they were trying to be mean?
00:08:31.280 >> No. you would know that they’re just
00:08:33.279 expressing the the wishes for the
00:08:35.519 season. And I think that’s where we say,
00:08:39.279 you know, you kind of have to get over
00:08:41.200 yourself a little bit. You’re not that
00:08:42.799 important to to the person that’s saying
00:08:45.200 it. They’re trying to be friendly. Get
00:08:47.120 over yourself a little bit. Don’t you
00:08:48.399 agree?
00:08:49.120 >> Well, I mean, I can see your viewpoint
00:08:51.440 on that saying get over yourself as
00:08:53.040 well, but I also see that it’s an
00:08:55.120 opportunity for you as a minority to to
00:09:00.080 teach them where instead of being a
00:09:02.480 victim and being upset about it, why not
00:09:04.240 say thank you very much uh you know and
00:09:06.640 if there’s an opportunity say you know I
00:09:08.640 don’t celebrate Christmas but I’d love
00:09:09.920 to share with you what my what my values
00:09:12.959 are and what I what I celebrate.
00:09:14.880 >> Yeah. So what do you think what do you
00:09:16.480 think these schools should be doing?
00:09:18.240 >> Well you had said something that was
00:09:20.399 interesting. You said a lot of schools
00:09:22.880 get nervous about the separation of
00:09:25.040 church and state but you said it’s not
00:09:28.800 that clearcut. Can you explain that?
00:09:31.279 >> Yeah. So, actually it it does boil down
00:09:33.440 to separation of church and state which
00:09:36.399 that term is not actually in the
00:09:38.480 constitution.
00:09:40.240 Separation of church and state comes
00:09:41.920 from what’s called the establishment
00:09:43.519 clause. And what it says is that our
00:09:46.720 government is not allowed to establish a
00:09:49.839 state-run religion. We’re also not
00:09:52.160 allowed to deny anyone the right to
00:09:55.680 practice their religion. And so what
00:09:58.480 happens is these schools put up, you
00:10:01.680 know,
00:10:03.680 Santa, put up, you know, uh, Christian,
00:10:06.800 uh, symbols, Christmas symbols, and they
00:10:09.920 get overly worried that that’s going to
00:10:12.560 be seen as them promoting a religion.
00:10:16.640 But that’s not that’s not what that
00:10:18.560 establishment clause is. That’s not the
00:10:21.519 school. That’s not the government
00:10:22.959 establishing a religion and saying you
00:10:25.760 have to practice this religion. It’s
00:10:28.399 it’s celebrating and I think as long as
00:10:31.440 they’re
00:10:33.120 I I think the the the the cases and I
00:10:35.600 think the the body of law is they just
00:10:37.760 have to remain neutral on it. So
00:10:39.839 promoting you know Christianity,
00:10:42.640 promoting Judaism, promoting that type
00:10:45.279 of thing, they have the symbols up,
00:10:47.040 they’re being neutral on it. There’s
00:10:48.560 nothing wrong with that. What are your
00:10:50.399 thoughts? No, I agree. I I think being
00:10:53.760 one of the general public who has
00:10:56.240 celebrated Christmas, you know, since I
00:10:58.640 was born, um
00:11:02.160 what’s interesting to me, and this is
00:11:03.839 just kind of going sideways a little, is
00:11:06.480 you notice a lot of schools stopped
00:11:09.120 wearing Halloween costumes at school.
00:11:12.000 They stopped celebrating Halloween.
00:11:14.720 Why is that?
00:11:15.680 >> What are your I don’t know.
00:11:17.360 >> I don’t know either. because of masks or
00:11:19.519 safety reasons. But I don’t even know if
00:11:21.440 that’s more like a Christian thing to
00:11:24.320 say we’re not going to celebrate
00:11:25.360 Halloween. But
00:11:27.200 >> well, that’s interesting though. Why?
00:11:29.440 So, it’s not okay to celebrate Christmas
00:11:33.760 because that’s Christian. But if it’s
00:11:36.959 Halloween and it’s a Christian ideology
00:11:39.120 not to celebrate Halloween, that’s okay.
00:11:41.040 >> I don’t know because I know that when
00:11:42.160 the kids did go to a public school at
00:11:44.720 one point, they said, "You can’t. They
00:11:47.360 they’re not allowing costumes.
00:11:49.600 >> Not even not even a body costume with
00:11:51.839 your face showing. They weren’t allowing
00:11:53.600 you to wear a costume to school.
00:11:55.279 >> Yeah. And that’s interesting, too,
00:11:56.399 because you would think that if it was
00:11:58.000 because of the whole mask thing, they
00:12:00.000 would say, "You can wear a costume, wear
00:12:01.519 whatever costume you want, but just
00:12:03.680 don’t wear a mask."
00:12:04.720 >> Yeah. Do you think it has anything to do
00:12:06.399 with what we’ve talked about with the
00:12:10.160 way costumes are going these days with
00:12:13.440 >> Well, they could they could say, you
00:12:15.120 know, these are the approved costumes.
00:12:17.760 >> Sure.
00:12:18.160 >> I mean, you can be a pumpkin or you can
00:12:20.320 be a I mean,
00:12:21.040 >> and we’ve we’ve talked about how it
00:12:23.120 seems like through the years costumes
00:12:25.120 have gotten more and more revealing that
00:12:27.519 every holiday now is a chance to be
00:12:30.000 >> Yeah. nipply.
00:12:31.200 >> Yeah.
00:12:32.639 >> Yeah. Oh, it’s a holiday. Let me look
00:12:35.120 like a
00:12:36.079 >> Yeah, let’s have the sexy Easter bunny.
00:12:39.519 >> The sexy non-denominational Easter bunny
00:12:41.920 that was on the show we were watching,
00:12:43.680 right?
00:12:44.000 >> What What show? What was that? That was
00:12:46.240 uh
00:12:46.639 >> Matlock.
00:12:47.200 >> Matlock. The new Matlock show.
00:12:48.720 >> Yeah. With Kathy Bates.
00:12:50.000 >> And they literally had in the show a
00:12:52.480 non-denominational. And he said it
00:12:54.320 multiple times. Where’s the
00:12:55.760 non-denominational bunny?
00:12:57.600 >> Right. because we’re celebrating e we’re
00:12:59.600 celebrating spring with the
00:13:02.079 non-denominational bunny.
00:13:04.079 >> Yeah. I mean that that goes back to this
00:13:06.480 thing with the the uh Santa, you know,
00:13:09.600 and the the Christmas symbols in the
00:13:11.680 schools. People take it too far and
00:13:14.880 they’re taking it too far by having
00:13:18.240 everything have to be
00:13:19.279 non-denominational.
00:13:20.959 First of all, that’s not the government
00:13:22.560 doing that. that was some, you know,
00:13:24.560 private law firm or that was a, you
00:13:27.120 know, the TV show that’s run by a
00:13:28.800 private corporation. They have no
00:13:30.639 obligation to be non-denominational.
00:13:33.120 They’re trying to be inclusive. It’s
00:13:35.120 only the government.
00:13:35.920 >> It’s exclusive.
00:13:37.120 >> Yeah.
00:13:37.519 >> They’re making sure
00:13:39.279 >> by being inclusive to the minority,
00:13:41.279 you’re being exclusive,
00:13:42.720 >> right?
00:13:43.519 >> And
00:13:45.600 I don’t know, there’s just too much of
00:13:47.360 that going on.
00:13:48.399 >> There’s nothing wrong with having
00:13:53.279 Christian symbols, Christian storylines,
00:13:55.839 Christmas story lines. There’s nothing
00:13:57.600 wrong with that at all.
00:13:58.639 >> Because the bottom line is being a
00:14:00.800 Christian, the greatest thing that ever
00:14:02.639 happened to me at least was finding
00:14:05.600 Jesus Christ,
00:14:06.320 >> of course.
00:14:06.720 >> And that is the last thing that they
00:14:08.079 want to have happen,
00:14:09.199 >> right?
00:14:09.680 >> So, they’re going to try to make
00:14:11.279 Christmas songs about Santa and exclude
00:14:13.760 Jesus. And so there are schools that are
00:14:15.920 doing Santa things and snowman things
00:14:18.240 and stuff like that, but God forbid they
00:14:20.880 add Jesus to the mix,
00:14:22.480 >> right? Right.
00:14:23.360 >> You know, you find the Christian schools
00:14:24.880 doing that,
00:14:26.800 but it’s tough. I don’t know.
00:14:30.480 >> Yeah, I know. And
00:14:31.279 >> I think I think America’s trying to be
00:14:32.959 vanilla, but we’re the spiciest vanilla.
00:14:35.120 No, because people are angry. They are
00:14:37.519 angry spicy people. It’s like vanilla
00:14:40.560 ice cream with uh smack your mama sauce
00:14:44.240 on it. Or is it slap your mama?
00:14:46.225 [laughter]
00:14:47.040 What’s the What’s the green hot sauce?
00:14:48.880 >> Slap your mama.
00:14:49.839 >> Slap your mama. [laughter]
00:14:52.399 They want to be vanilla, but then
00:14:53.680 they’re mad.
00:14:55.120 >> Right. No, I And I I like your
00:14:59.760 analogy of if people were in Israel,
00:15:04.240 what would happen there? And there would
00:15:06.560 be no way whether it’s Israel, whether
00:15:09.360 it’s
00:15:09.839 >> Greece. We were walking around Greece
00:15:11.279 and there’s all these Greek Orthodox
00:15:13.760 churches and or if you’re in Italy and
00:15:15.920 there’s all these
00:15:16.880 >> we’re the only country in the world that
00:15:20.639 is afraid to celebrate
00:15:23.600 the the the foundings and and you’re
00:15:26.079 right, we were founded
00:15:28.399 for religious freedom and it was because
00:15:31.680 everybody remember their their history
00:15:33.360 right now. the the pilgrims wanted to
00:15:36.800 get away from the king of England
00:15:38.800 because of religious persecution. They
00:15:41.120 wanted to have a place where they were
00:15:43.199 free to practice the religion they
00:15:45.199 wanted to practice. And that’s the whole
00:15:47.279 founding of our country. And you don’t
00:15:49.839 do that by erasing religion. You do that
00:15:52.480 by allowing people to practice their
00:15:54.800 religion.
00:15:56.000 >> Amen.
00:15:56.639 >> There you go. Along those lines, there
00:15:59.440 are actually there there are groups of
00:16:01.920 parents in I want to say it’s Texas and
00:16:04.720 Louisiana that are suing schools over
00:16:07.440 the posting of the Ten Commandments.
00:16:09.120 What are your thoughts about that?
00:16:11.040 >> They post other things. Everything’s
00:16:13.040 posted. I mean, there’s one school
00:16:15.040 that’s teaching people how to middle
00:16:17.279 schoolers how to be transgender right
00:16:19.600 now and how to come out easily. Why
00:16:21.680 can’t you have that and the Ten
00:16:23.120 Commandments next to it?
00:16:24.480 >> Right? I mean, you know, I was talking
00:16:27.040 to one of our our sons and daughter’s
00:16:29.920 friend and um this individual is gay and
00:16:34.000 they said that
00:16:36.720 they were at a public school and they’re
00:16:40.800 like, "Why does everything have to focus
00:16:42.800 on everything
00:16:45.839 about being gay or pride this or pride
00:16:48.240 that?" You know, straight people don’t
00:16:50.320 come out and say, "I’m straight." and
00:16:51.920 there’s all these straight, you know,
00:16:54.000 celebrating straightness or whatever,
00:16:55.920 >> right?
00:16:56.240 >> He’s like, why
00:16:58.560 >> they just they take these minority
00:17:01.199 things because someone has been hurt and
00:17:03.680 which I’m not agreeing with those people
00:17:05.359 being hurt and some of the people that
00:17:07.039 have been vicious towards minorities and
00:17:09.439 I don’t agree with it and I think most
00:17:10.880 Americans don’t. You know, they say 95%
00:17:13.760 of the people are fine, 5% ruin it for
00:17:16.000 95%.
00:17:17.039 >> Sure. But
00:17:19.359 why can’t you have the Ten Commandments
00:17:20.959 up next to a pride flag?
00:17:25.039 >> I I mean, I don’t I don’t see why not.
00:17:26.720 What do you
00:17:27.280 >> teach all of it?
00:17:28.400 >> What do you say to the public?
00:17:30.480 >> What do you say to the people who are
00:17:32.000 getting offended by that, though?
00:17:35.760 >> Welcome to America, the melting pot.
00:17:39.039 If someone decides to read that, if you
00:17:40.720 want to have every religion on a wall
00:17:42.559 and have a wall of all the religions you
00:17:45.200 can pick from, like you know what I’m
00:17:47.760 saying? Like here, this is Adwala or
00:17:50.880 whatever that one.
00:17:53.840 Yeah,
00:17:54.400 >> not sure. [laughter]
00:17:56.160 Not sure I’m following that.
00:18:00.080 >> I don’t know. [laughter]
00:18:01.760 >> We have our producer twitching over
00:18:03.280 there.
00:18:05.600 Cantonese. I don’t know. There’s this I
00:18:08.720 read some which one last night I can’t
00:18:10.400 remember but there’s multiple you know
00:18:12.400 >> but you’re not saying that to put one
00:18:15.440 symbol up they have to put a symbol for
00:18:17.600 every conceivable religion out there and
00:18:19.760 every conceivable practice
00:18:21.520 >> they don’t have to or they can
00:18:23.440 >> they can
00:18:24.720 >> but it’s like I don’t know I think that
00:18:27.919 bottom line is you do teach your kids
00:18:31.520 the most from your home. How many kids
00:18:34.400 are bad kids or bad kids because their
00:18:37.280 parents are not available? I think it
00:18:39.120 all comes back to the home unit, you
00:18:41.520 know, fatherless uh families that the
00:18:44.400 dad goes and has multiple families with
00:18:46.640 multiple women. I mean, that goes back
00:18:48.400 to
00:18:50.960 having a steady home where you’re going
00:18:53.520 to learn mainly your things. And so I
00:18:57.280 think I if I were to send my kids to a
00:19:00.160 public school, they don’t have to have
00:19:01.280 the Ten Commandments up there because
00:19:02.640 I’m teaching them it at home. But if my
00:19:05.360 teacher decided, you know what, I’m
00:19:07.039 Christian. I want to put up the Ten
00:19:08.160 Commandments. It should be okay. There
00:19:10.000 should be no suing. I I mean, if they
00:19:12.960 truly want equality,
00:19:16.400 I mean, obviously, if someone’s a porn
00:19:18.559 addict, they shouldn’t have some like
00:19:20.000 wiener up there.
00:19:21.039 >> Oh my gosh.
00:19:21.679 >> I mean, like, no, but like not be
00:19:24.240 yourself. Like if you’re disgusting, I’m
00:19:26.799 not promoting disgusting things.
00:19:29.520 >> But
00:19:30.400 >> if it’s just general, you know, I’m
00:19:33.919 Jewish. So you teach your students this
00:19:36.480 is the manora, I am Christian, this is
00:19:39.280 what I learn. And I understand parents
00:19:42.080 get really touchy, but if you are strong
00:19:44.000 in your faith at home and you are
00:19:45.600 teaching them this is what our family
00:19:47.840 believes, this is what we do, they’re
00:19:50.240 going to go out into the world. It’s not
00:19:52.080 just like, oh, you’re going to go to
00:19:54.080 school and you’re not going to have a
00:19:55.679 million different types of people out
00:19:57.360 there. You’re going to go to school, I
00:19:59.520 mean, college, and you’re going to go
00:20:01.280 get a job and everyone’s going to be
00:20:03.600 different.
00:20:04.240 >> You’re saying that you can’t just
00:20:07.760 protect the kids from ever knowing about
00:20:10.400 anything else. Teach them in the home
00:20:12.559 because they’re going to get exposed to
00:20:14.000 it at some point anyway.
00:20:15.200 >> Absolutely. I’m all for teaching them
00:20:18.320 about everything. About everything. And
00:20:20.720 you know what? You cannot and I think
00:20:22.880 that comes down to controlling your
00:20:24.240 kids. I don’t want them to learn this
00:20:26.720 because they may do they may go and find
00:20:29.360 Christianity or they may oh okay if if
00:20:34.000 my son
00:20:34.480 >> Do you think that’s a part of it?
00:20:35.600 There’s a lot of fear that’s involved.
00:20:37.360 >> Sure. I think parents want to control
00:20:40.240 them, but I think through love and
00:20:42.559 education,
00:20:44.240 your kids are also human beings and
00:20:46.159 they’re and they’re going to see a lot
00:20:48.559 on the internet. they’re going to see a
00:20:50.159 lot at school. And I no, I don’t agree
00:20:53.520 with, you know, drag queens coming into
00:20:55.840 the school and reading books and trying
00:20:57.600 to talk about gender. That’s something
00:20:59.919 completely different if you ask me. But
00:21:03.120 if you took everybody’s religion or why
00:21:05.280 an atheist an atheist or why people are
00:21:07.919 believe what they believe and
00:21:11.679 you talked about those things, it’s
00:21:14.480 normal. They need to get used to that
00:21:16.720 everybody isn’t the same. Well, what
00:21:18.559 would you say to the parents talking
00:21:20.159 about fear being an issue there? What
00:21:22.400 would you say to the parents who maybe
00:21:24.240 they’re not even admitting it, but deep
00:21:26.080 down inside they know they’re fearful of
00:21:29.200 what their children are being exposed to
00:21:31.039 with other religions and other beliefs
00:21:32.960 and that type of thing. What would you
00:21:34.559 say to them?
00:21:35.200 >> You know, the great thing is we have
00:21:36.880 lots of choices in America. You can go
00:21:39.360 to a private school, maybe you can’t
00:21:40.799 afford it. You can homeschool, maybe you
00:21:42.480 can’t do it. I think that we all have
00:21:46.799 opportunity to
00:21:49.679 protect our family in different ways.
00:21:53.039 You know, we sent our kids to a private
00:21:55.280 Christian school. It wasn’t perfect. I
00:21:57.280 mean, there were kids still drinking at
00:22:00.080 school, having sex, and being kids. So,
00:22:03.039 it’s not all perfect, but I think that
00:22:07.280 you have to explore your option op
00:22:08.799 options and not be just a victim. Well,
00:22:10.640 I have to send my kids to public school
00:22:12.320 and this is what’s happening. Okay, if
00:22:14.480 that is what’s happening, you better
00:22:16.400 spend time with your kids at home
00:22:19.679 educating them,
00:22:20.960 >> right?
00:22:21.360 >> Okay, mom, I saw this this x, y, and z.
00:22:26.559 Okay, this is what this is.
00:22:28.159 >> But not everybody has that type of
00:22:29.840 relationship with their kids is the
00:22:31.440 >> Why not?
00:22:32.880 >> I agree with you.
00:22:33.919 >> Why aren’t they You know what? my job
00:22:36.240 and I was just talking about this today
00:22:37.760 with my hair stylist cuz we’re I got my
00:22:40.080 hair done. [laughter]
00:22:41.919 Um
00:22:43.919 it’s our I and I tell my kids I tell our
00:22:46.640 kids this all the time. It’s not my job
00:22:49.120 to live your life, but it’s my job to
00:22:51.200 give you the best advice that I can. You
00:22:54.159 know, I’m going to be next to you. I’m
00:22:57.440 going to be teaching you. I’m going to
00:23:00.720 be holding your hand as long as you need
00:23:02.480 me to. But this is your life.
00:23:05.440 If you decide x, y, and z, you get to do
00:23:09.039 that. It’s your life. It’s not mine. And
00:23:11.679 so I think a lot of parents and a lot of
00:23:13.840 people in general, they want to own the
00:23:17.919 people in their life,
00:23:19.280 >> right?
00:23:19.840 >> They want to own them and say, you know
00:23:21.679 what, if you do that, you’re out of
00:23:24.080 here. I’m not going to I’m going to cut
00:23:26.159 you out of the will. I’m going to do
00:23:27.760 something. And you know the sad part is
00:23:32.240 is by you not allowing your kids and I
00:23:35.360 always said it’s like bumpers in a
00:23:38.480 bowling alley. I let my kids find out
00:23:40.720 who they are but I have guides like you
00:23:42.799 know the bumpers bowling alley. I have
00:23:44.559 guides
00:23:45.840 >> um you know I have rules and you know I
00:23:48.480 have boundaries and things like that but
00:23:50.400 I want them to learn who they are while
00:23:52.320 they’re with me
00:23:53.200 >> right within those bumpers. Let them let
00:23:55.600 them be a kid. them to feel like they
00:23:57.919 can safely tell me,
00:24:00.400 >> hey, I feel like this. Okay, well, let’s
00:24:02.799 explore that. Not, you better not, you
00:24:05.200 know, you have to be a Christian or you
00:24:07.440 have to be an atheist or you have to do
00:24:09.280 this. And then the kids secretly doing
00:24:11.200 something else in the room because they
00:24:12.559 don’t feel like they can share that
00:24:13.919 stuff.
00:24:14.960 >> Yeah, that’s that’s a good point. You
00:24:16.640 know, I’ve always appreciated that
00:24:17.919 attitude that you you have with our kids
00:24:20.720 is is counseling them and letting them
00:24:23.679 know this is my advice.
00:24:26.720 you know, do with it what you want. I
00:24:28.960 strongly recommend this, but you know,
00:24:31.360 in the end, we know that we’re not going
00:24:33.360 to be around forever for their whole
00:24:34.799 lives and and they’re going to have to
00:24:36.400 make decisions without us. So, you want
00:24:38.480 to prepare them how to make the
00:24:41.039 decisions and hope that they make the
00:24:42.960 best decisions, but we can’t control
00:24:44.880 everything.
00:24:45.520 >> And I don’t know everything. I hope my
00:24:47.200 kids are smarter than me. I hope my kids
00:24:49.200 do better than me. I hope my kids have
00:24:50.880 more insight than I have. And so I can
00:24:53.760 only be the best person I can be to to
00:24:56.480 to them. And I told Skyla LA a couple
00:24:59.919 weeks ago, this is the first time me
00:25:01.120 being a mom with you two. You know, it’s
00:25:03.200 not like I’ve been a mom before. You
00:25:05.279 guys are this age for the first time in
00:25:06.880 my life. And so, you know, we’ve gone
00:25:10.080 kind of sideways with all of that
00:25:11.520 because we’re talking about the school
00:25:12.799 and you know, I just think parents need
00:25:15.279 to relax a little bit. They need to also
00:25:19.200 be more present with their kids. Well, I
00:25:21.360 agree with you and I and I think to
00:25:22.799 bring it back to what we were talking
00:25:24.240 about, a lot of the the
00:25:27.919 issues that are coming up with, you
00:25:30.240 know, kids being exposed to different
00:25:31.840 things comes from a place of fear from
00:25:35.600 the parents of something that they are
00:25:38.320 afraid of, something that they’ve missed
00:25:40.080 out on or that they’re fearful uh is
00:25:43.039 going to happen to their kids because it
00:25:44.720 happened to them. And I think, you know,
00:25:46.640 just to sum it up, what would you say to
00:25:48.400 those parents who have some deep-seated
00:25:51.279 fear about it?
00:25:52.320 >> Well, it depends on what it is. Like my
00:25:54.799 kids never slept at another parent’s
00:25:56.400 house. Why? Because I don’t know them
00:25:58.720 fully,
00:25:59.360 >> right?
00:25:59.600 >> I I can always protect them in that way.
00:26:01.679 I know that we are safe at our house.
00:26:03.840 So, kids would sleep over at my house.
00:26:05.760 And those friends that are watching,
00:26:07.440 it’s not that I don’t trust you. I just
00:26:09.840 don’t know what’s going to happen. So
00:26:10.960 there’s things that you can control
00:26:13.120 within your environment, but there’s
00:26:15.600 things that we can’t control. It’s that
00:26:17.200 circle analogy. You know, my therapist
00:26:19.200 said, you know, you can control things
00:26:20.559 that are right here. And then it gets
00:26:22.480 the further out you go, the less you can
00:26:24.559 control. And I think the less that you
00:26:26.000 can control, the more you need to
00:26:27.840 educate. So maybe it’s a matter of
00:26:29.600 perspective for people trying to figure
00:26:31.200 out focus on on what’s your circle of
00:26:34.720 control and and make sure that your kids
00:26:38.240 who are in that circle, they’re the ones
00:26:40.320 that are getting your attention and the
00:26:42.080 counseling. And when it comes to the
00:26:44.960 things that are on the further outskirts
00:26:46.960 like what’s being posted in a school,
00:26:49.279 you can’t control that. What you can
00:26:51.520 control is how your kids see that and
00:26:54.480 address that and interpret that,
00:26:56.320 >> right? because eventually they’re not
00:26:57.600 going to be in your inner circle if
00:26:59.679 you’re forcing them to do things your
00:27:02.640 way. And and the worst thing that I
00:27:04.799 always would say and that I [snorts]
00:27:06.400 hated hearing is because I said so.
00:27:09.360 >> Yeah, I [laughter] know.
00:27:10.240 >> I don’t like that. It’s like I like to
00:27:12.480 explain.
00:27:13.200 >> No, you’re right. You’re right.
00:27:14.240 >> Because otherwise what how are they
00:27:16.799 going to learn?
00:27:17.360 >> It’s such an easy go-to. It really is.
00:27:19.679 But you’re right. It’s it’s better to
00:27:20.960 give them the context. I agree with you
00:27:22.640 about that.
00:27:23.679 >> Yeah. And I think our kids have turned
00:27:25.039 out pretty awesome. Yeah, I agree. All
00:27:27.840 right. So, did you hear about this?
00:27:30.000 There was an uh 88-year-old veteran who
00:27:35.039 was working, I think, in a Walmart or
00:27:37.200 something like that and he was posted on
00:27:39.760 social media and kind of went viral and
00:27:42.960 uh had like a lot of money raised for
00:27:46.400 him for his retirement.
00:27:47.840 >> 1.7 million they said.
00:27:49.760 >> Yeah,
00:27:50.320 >> that’s so sweet. I think it’s just
00:27:52.480 really cool when, you know, people get
00:27:55.600 so down on Americans and people feel
00:27:58.559 like everything just sucks a lot of
00:28:01.039 times, but then when you hear stories
00:28:02.880 like that and people coming together,
00:28:04.880 especially for somebody that’s 88,
00:28:06.799 that’s still working that’s a veteran,
00:28:09.200 it just warms your heart, doesn’t it?
00:28:10.960 >> Yeah, it really does. It really does. I
00:28:12.480 mean it raises questions like you know
00:28:15.679 what was happening in his life where
00:28:17.760 he’s a not only a veteran but he’s you
00:28:20.240 know 88 years old where’s the support
00:28:22.240 for him why is he still working at that
00:28:24.880 age still you know uh I don’t know if he
00:28:27.120 was a greeter at Walmart if he was
00:28:28.960 actually stocking shelves or what he was
00:28:31.039 doing but it raises questions about that
00:28:32.960 you know where’s where’s our society
00:28:35.440 >> where’s the family unit I don’t mean to
00:28:36.880 interrupt you where’s the family unit
00:28:38.240 and all these other countries you know
00:28:39.760 you go to you know Mexican families and
00:28:42.640 you go to Italy and you go to all these
00:28:44.320 other countries and they are so
00:28:46.240 familybased and it’s like here in
00:28:48.559 America we’re like you’re 18, get out,
00:28:50.240 go make your own money and it’s it’s
00:28:52.080 it’s the machine. It’s corporation
00:28:55.360 America. Let’s just kick the kids out.
00:28:57.520 You’re 18 years old. You can buy your
00:28:59.600 own this. You can buy your own that. Now
00:29:01.279 you’re in debt from college. It’s all
00:29:03.039 about making debt and spending money.
00:29:05.440 And age is not celebrated in America.
00:29:09.279 There’s Botox and there’s plastic
00:29:11.840 surgery and there’s all these things and
00:29:13.520 I’m not against any of those things. If
00:29:15.120 you like them, you do them. I mean, I
00:29:16.399 did Botox till a year ago. I’m trying to
00:29:18.399 be Botox free. [laughter] Let the
00:29:21.279 muscles grow in the forehead. But I I we
00:29:24.799 don’t appreciate elderly people. We
00:29:27.760 don’t keep this big family unit. So
00:29:29.919 maybe, you know, that is something that
00:29:32.159 was happening to him where
00:29:34.720 he just wasn’t close to his family or
00:29:36.799 they didn’t have the ability to afford
00:29:40.399 to help him not work or whatever. But
00:29:43.760 it’s sad.
00:29:45.039 >> It just comes back to the values
00:29:47.919 of America and our home unit and
00:29:53.120 how
00:29:54.640 our what our priorities are.
00:29:56.720 >> Yeah. No, I agree with you. And it it’s
00:29:59.440 nice to see people stepping up and and
00:30:01.760 you see that with the GoFundMes and that
00:30:03.760 type of thing where complete strangers
00:30:05.760 are stepping up to help people. Um and
00:30:08.720 there’s there’s probably a way to
00:30:12.080 get that beyond just the the person
00:30:14.240 who’s gone viral,
00:30:16.399 but
00:30:16.799 >> Well, yeah. Well, you know, we like to
00:30:18.480 give back. We try to give back, and I
00:30:20.240 think there’s a lot of people out there
00:30:21.279 that do, but the sad part is is there’s
00:30:25.840 there’s just too much brokenness. I
00:30:28.000 think out there there’s too much mental
00:30:29.520 illness that’s not handled. I think
00:30:30.960 there’s a just a a lot to get into why
00:30:35.520 people might not have the money to do
00:30:37.840 what they do. Everything’s so expensive
00:30:40.320 and
00:30:42.399 we’ll we’ll talk about that another day
00:30:44.000 because it’s just way too deep.
00:30:45.811 [laughter]
00:30:48.080 >> All right, switching gears. Paramount is
00:30:50.559 facing a
00:30:52.720 108 billion hostile takeover bid. Well,
00:30:56.720 yeah. I heard Netflix was already kind
00:30:59.120 of like one was going to buy it for like
00:31:02.159 82 billion and then they came in and
00:31:07.120 they wanted to buy it for one point wait
00:31:10.720 $ 108 billion.
00:31:12.320 >> Yeah. Crazy amount of money.
00:31:13.600 >> But that’s like HBO
00:31:17.039 all of If you look at all the I think I
00:31:18.960 had pulled it up. Hold on. [sighs]
00:31:23.520 I’m breathing. Sorry. All right. Can you
00:31:25.840 hear me breathing? [laughter]
00:31:28.640 Okay. So, if successful, Paramont would
00:31:30.399 control all of Warner Brothers
00:31:31.919 Discovery’s assets, including HBO, HBO
00:31:34.240 Max, Warner Brothers, movie studios,
00:31:36.480 cable channels like CNN, TBS, TNT,
00:31:39.360 Cartoon Network. This contrasts with
00:31:42.000 NEetflix deals, which focused on studios
00:31:45.039 and streaming only. So, I think that
00:31:47.519 this would more be like a monopoly. And
00:31:50.159 from what our son was saying, which I
00:31:52.240 didn’t research it or know about, Trump
00:31:54.240 was trying to stop that or something.
00:31:56.720 >> Yeah. I I hadn’t heard about that
00:31:58.399 either. I And I don’t know. I mean,
00:32:02.159 corporate America is full of big
00:32:07.120 multinational conglomerates, these
00:32:09.600 companies that own, you know, other
00:32:12.720 subcorporations in in all areas of life.
00:32:17.039 It’s not anything new for us to have big
00:32:19.279 corporations.
00:32:19.919 >> But just because it’s not new doesn’t
00:32:21.279 mean we should allow it.
00:32:22.559 >> Well, why can’t we stop something like
00:32:24.399 that? I mean
00:32:25.760 >> I mean we do. We have laws that don’t
00:32:27.760 allow monopolies. The Sherman Antirust
00:32:30.399 Act is built for that. But it has to be
00:32:34.480 a monopoly. And just having a
00:32:36.480 corporation grow and be large does not
00:32:38.960 necessarily mean that it’s a monopoly.
00:32:41.279 >> It can turn into one easier.
00:32:42.880 >> It certainly can. And I think that’s
00:32:44.480 where the the laws step in and change
00:32:46.880 it. But do don’t you think that
00:32:48.799 corporations should be allowed to grow
00:32:50.480 and and buy up other corporations?
00:32:53.519 >> I do, but I think it’s a slippery slope
00:32:55.440 when it comes to this and with all that
00:32:57.200 they would be owning.
00:32:58.399 >> Yeah. I mean I the the argument would be
00:33:02.159 that it
00:33:04.080 stops or hinders competition that it
00:33:07.039 affects the consumer because if they own
00:33:09.919 all the streaming services then they can
00:33:12.159 charge whatever they want for streaming
00:33:13.760 services. So maybe they’re
00:33:15.600 >> potentially to control the
00:33:18.720 the
00:33:20.559 >> the content or Yeah.
00:33:22.480 >> So if one person controls it then you
00:33:24.640 know what I mean then they can say hey
00:33:25.919 this we’re not going to have X Y and Z
00:33:27.279 on there.
00:33:27.760 >> Yeah. And and I can see where, you know,
00:33:30.320 let’s say, for example, they owned all
00:33:32.159 of the streaming services, then they
00:33:34.240 could charge whatever subscription price
00:33:36.640 they want for all the streaming
00:33:38.559 services. Us as consumers, we’re stuck
00:33:41.120 with that. We have to pay it. And I
00:33:42.960 think that’s where the government would
00:33:44.559 step in and say, you’re a monopoly in
00:33:47.200 that area. Let’s break up that portion.
00:33:49.519 >> Yeah. But the government sometimes
00:33:51.200 slippery slopey. So if you just don’t
00:33:53.360 let it happen in the first place.
00:33:56.080 >> I I know my my issue with that is when
00:33:59.279 where do you draw the line as a
00:34:00.720 government to where they step in? Is it
00:34:02.480 once a company reaches a certain
00:34:05.279 >> net uh income level or gross income
00:34:08.079 level and and step in then I I I think
00:34:11.119 you’re hindering companies from wanting
00:34:13.599 to get to that point. You have to let
00:34:15.280 them grow.
00:34:16.639 >> Well, we can agree to disagree.
00:34:18.079 >> All right. That’s what we’ll do there.
00:34:19.839 >> You just want to be the king and own it
00:34:21.280 all.
00:34:21.963 >> [laughter]
00:34:24.960 >> Um,
00:34:26.719 weird sad story surrounding Andy Dick. I
00:34:30.960 guess he was overdosed recently
00:34:34.000 >> yesterday.
00:34:34.879 >> Yeah. What do you know about that?
00:34:37.119 >> Um, I think he’s been a drug addict for
00:34:38.800 a really long time from what I’ve heard.
00:34:41.359 >> Yeah. I mean,
00:34:44.000 how many times do you see it in in
00:34:46.399 Hollywood where these people are addicts
00:34:50.399 for years on end? I mean, I guess it’s
00:34:52.159 not just Hollywood. It’s all throughout
00:34:53.520 life, but these are just obviously the
00:34:55.440 publicized ones.
00:34:56.560 >> Yeah. Well, just because you have money
00:34:58.079 and fame doesn’t mean, you know, you’re
00:34:59.839 not going to do drugs.
00:35:01.280 >> Yeah. I I think it raises
00:35:04.240 the issue that it’s not just
00:35:07.839 I mean, maybe it starts as the lifestyle
00:35:09.839 that they choose, but it truly is a an
00:35:13.359 addiction and and a a health issue.
00:35:16.880 >> Yeah. It’s sad. You know, I guess that
00:35:19.200 he they gave him a shot. What was the
00:35:24.079 shot called?
00:35:24.480 >> Narcan.
00:35:25.119 >> And then he got up and said he didn’t
00:35:26.800 need any help.
00:35:27.839 >> Yeah. Kind of weird that that was his
00:35:30.240 >> But it’s also sad because it’s there’s
00:35:32.320 videos of it.
00:35:33.520 >> Yeah. Yeah,
00:35:33.920 >> there’s like videos of him laying on the
00:35:35.680 ground. And
00:35:37.760 >> I mean,
00:35:40.000 is addiction a choice that people make
00:35:42.000 to to get into that or is it is it more
00:35:44.560 of uh you know, just a a a bigger issue
00:35:49.520 where
00:35:51.359 it’s a health issue?
00:35:52.960 >> Well, I’m not a doctor, but I did read
00:35:55.040 once that some people are more
00:35:57.680 predisposed to like be alcoholics. It’s
00:35:59.839 like within their DNA. Maybe there’s an
00:36:02.079 addiction thing within there.
00:36:03.920 >> Sure.
00:36:04.240 >> I couldn’t be because everything makes
00:36:05.920 me feel sick. [laughter]
00:36:08.160 >> But um
00:36:10.320 you know there’s something in my brain
00:36:12.720 where because I can’t flush toxins that
00:36:16.240 if I were to smoke pot, there’s a chance
00:36:18.880 I would become schizophrenic.
00:36:21.520 >> We don’t need that happening.
00:36:23.040 >> No.
00:36:24.079 >> No. So, so my point is I think it could
00:36:27.599 be them choosing it and then I could
00:36:30.000 think that maybe it’s genetic.
00:36:32.960 >> So, yeah. So, there are some people who
00:36:36.640 can do the drugs and not become
00:36:38.720 addicted, not have it ruin their lives,
00:36:41.280 but there are others who even just one
00:36:45.200 time it’s it’s a downward spiral for
00:36:47.440 them from there. And it goes back to
00:36:50.240 their home life and their, you know, all
00:36:53.520 the tragedies that probably happened
00:36:55.119 from when they were children and their
00:36:57.200 parents were drug addicts or you just,
00:36:59.200 you just never know.
00:37:00.400 >> Yeah.
00:37:00.960 >> It’s it’s
00:37:02.880 Isn’t it interesting that every single
00:37:04.400 subject goes back to the family unit at
00:37:07.520 home? Almost every single except Well,
00:37:11.359 except for Warner Brothers, but they
00:37:13.359 want to be inside everybody’s
00:37:14.960 >> They do. They do
00:37:16.480 >> telling us how to live.
00:37:17.760 >> Well, yeah, it we’re talking about, you
00:37:20.960 know, with with
00:37:23.040 religion and faith and and symbolism and
00:37:26.160 and drug addiction and all that.
00:37:36.079 >> Sorry guys,
00:37:37.280 >> that’s that’s your ringtone.
00:37:39.760 >> Sorry, not sorry. I love that song.
00:37:41.119 Yeah, we’re talking about how it it
00:37:44.079 comes down to the family uh needing to
00:37:50.000 what what does that say?
00:37:51.520 >> It’s still vibrating. Leave me alone.
00:37:53.599 Get out of my town.
00:37:55.359 >> All right. Well, anyway, we’re talking
00:37:57.119 about the the the family having to be
00:37:59.839 the ones that that
00:38:02.400 really raise up the kids, that structure
00:38:04.720 the the lives of the kids, that teach
00:38:06.320 them, that give them the the set of
00:38:08.480 morals and the the comfort to grow up
00:38:10.880 and be, you know, contributing members
00:38:12.640 of society and raise their own families
00:38:14.240 and go on and do things. and the the big
00:38:17.839 uh studios, Paramount and those other

00:41:26.319 tomorrow. We’ll do it tomorrow. I’m not
00:41:28.880 going to tell you when, but we’re going
00:41:30.560 to go to a gas station and we’re going
00:41:32.240 to give away gas for 30 minutes. Yeah,
00:41:34.480 >> but I heard Gordon said that some guy
00:41:36.560 was giving away gas.
00:41:38.960 Um, I don’t know who it was. He was on
00:41:41.040 the internet
00:41:43.119 and there was like a huge line and a
00:41:45.119 huge cop issue and you have to like talk
00:41:48.480 to the the gas station first because you
00:41:51.839 can’t swipe it and swipe it and there’s
00:41:53.440 this huge backup.
00:41:54.560 >> Yeah, that’s why I I’ve told you I don’t
00:41:56.240 want you announcing this thing like
00:41:58.000 hours in advance because people will
00:42:00.160 will descend on that. Well, should we
00:42:02.160 just not announce a time and then just
00:42:03.680 go to that gas station?
00:42:05.040 >> Show up
00:42:05.599 >> and say if you’re there, you’re there.
00:42:07.359 If you’re not, sorry.
00:42:08.720 >> That’s probably a better way to do it.

00:42:12.000 >> so tomorrow, Gerber injury law at one
00:42:14.880 point during 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. we
