This is 0:00:23.800 --> 0:00:26.280 a short version. I have a longer version that will 0:00:26.280 --> 0:00:29.640 be ready next week. With that within got something wrapper 0:00:29.680 --> 0:00:32.559 part booming system right here. That's a big base and 0:00:32.600 --> 0:00:34.720 that you like that basics like that. It's a base 0:00:34.800 --> 0:00:39.600 in your face. So well, as I pointed out last episode, 0:00:39.960 --> 0:00:42.280 I no longer have the booming base in my new car. 0:00:42.600 --> 0:00:44.479 Why not? So well? I told you. I asked for 0:00:44.520 --> 0:00:47.920 help on the Facebook page for the Dodger Charge your 0:00:47.920 --> 0:00:50.640 Fan clup page, and I got all kinds of people 0:00:50.680 --> 0:00:52.960 telling me to spend two thousand dollars on how to 0:00:53.000 --> 0:00:55.120 suit to fix it up. I thought somebody from would 0:00:55.120 --> 0:00:57.520 have come to your rescue by now, Well, no, somebody did. 0:00:57.560 --> 0:00:59.640 I'll give them credit when I when I finished going 0:00:59.640 --> 0:01:02.080 back in with with them, they're they're they're an installer 0:01:02.120 --> 0:01:04.120 and they have some advice for me. So I'm working 0:01:04.120 --> 0:01:07.840 on that. But I did have another Facebook problem. Uh, 0:01:07.959 --> 0:01:11.360 last week, right after we recorded, actually was before we recorded. 0:01:11.360 --> 0:01:13.039 I didn't get to it that I want to talk 0:01:13.080 --> 0:01:15.600 about today, So we'll get to that. Um you know, 0:01:16.120 --> 0:01:18.399 are you? First of all, we're recording this on a 0:01:18.480 --> 0:01:23.280 dreary Thursday afternoon. It's been raining, and you know, one 0:01:23.319 --> 0:01:25.560 of our friends pointed out that we haven't had a 0:01:25.600 --> 0:01:29.080 sunrise where the sun actually rose first thing in the 0:01:29.120 --> 0:01:32.560 morning since October eighteenth here in the Northeast. I know, 0:01:32.600 --> 0:01:35.240 I don't leave my house so in the morning, so right, 0:01:35.280 --> 0:01:37.640 well for for everybody else, we want to see the 0:01:37.680 --> 0:01:40.480 sun in the morning, and it's just disgusting and depressing. 0:01:40.520 --> 0:01:43.840 I feel like we're living in London or Seattle. I 0:01:43.840 --> 0:01:48.760 guess local equivalent just terrible, you know, but whatever, I guess. 0:01:48.760 --> 0:01:52.400 This is the remnants of Hurricane Zeta, which is now 0:01:52.400 --> 0:01:55.960 a tropical storm. So they ran out of hurricanes. Have 0:01:56.080 --> 0:01:59.080 been so many hurricanes in this season that they went 0:01:59.080 --> 0:02:01.800 through the entire alphabet of names, and now they're in 0:02:01.840 --> 0:02:05.800 the Greek alphabet up to Zeta. Amazing. The rain has 0:02:05.840 --> 0:02:09.880 really affected a problem I was having with I'll call 0:02:09.960 --> 0:02:13.200 them a neighbor, they're not really a neighbor. So behind 0:02:13.280 --> 0:02:18.720 my house is a a religious institution. Right. Um, I 0:02:18.760 --> 0:02:21.280 have a private backyard, but at the end of my backyard, 0:02:21.320 --> 0:02:24.799 behind my pool, there used to be a forest. Right, 0:02:24.880 --> 0:02:28.799 she used to be my forest. Thanks. By the way, 0:02:28.800 --> 0:02:29.959 you talked about that on it was it on the 0:02:30.000 --> 0:02:31.680 air of the Fifty Minute Morning Show podcast that you 0:02:31.680 --> 0:02:33.840 can't help yourself. I can't hear a song lyrics. You 0:02:33.880 --> 0:02:36.080 start singing if I hear something that sounds like a 0:02:36.160 --> 0:02:38.600 song lyric, I just can't. But I've been that way 0:02:38.720 --> 0:02:40.840 in my whole life. Right. We used to play a 0:02:40.840 --> 0:02:42.880 game at ZE one hundred, our station here here in 0:02:42.919 --> 0:02:46.160 the New York. It was a car friend, Cubby, who 0:02:46.200 --> 0:02:48.400 was now on Light FM in New York. When anyone 0:02:48.400 --> 0:02:51.760 anyone say a line from his song like, um, oh yeah, 0:02:51.800 --> 0:02:53.240 I saw that guy, he was breaking the law. He'd 0:02:53.240 --> 0:02:56.320 go thanks Judas Priest, like he would thank the band 0:02:56.760 --> 0:02:58.960 and call you that band for saying that line. Right, 0:02:58.960 --> 0:03:01.040 They wouldn't. We wouldn't thing the song or say the 0:03:01.040 --> 0:03:03.200 next lyric. It would just be that and and the 0:03:03.280 --> 0:03:05.880 game never did come to an end. We just tried 0:03:05.919 --> 0:03:09.440 to outdo each other the best. You know. The best 0:03:09.440 --> 0:03:14.600 example of it ending would have been if we confronted 0:03:14.639 --> 0:03:17.760 the artist. If the artists said the name of their 0:03:17.760 --> 0:03:22.160 own song that was the challenge right or from their 0:03:22.160 --> 0:03:24.880 own song, and then the other DJ had to put 0:03:24.919 --> 0:03:26.239 it away or that we would have to put it 0:03:26.240 --> 0:03:29.200 a right by saying all right blank. So so, for instance, 0:03:29.240 --> 0:03:32.880 I think this happened with Janet Jackson. I think Cobby 0:03:33.040 --> 0:03:35.880 has claimed to end the game because Janet Jackson was 0:03:35.920 --> 0:03:38.160 in one day and she goes, oh, I brought these 0:03:38.160 --> 0:03:41.360 they're all for you, and then goes all right, Janet 0:03:41.440 --> 0:03:45.640 Jackson to her because it's her right, that was her 0:03:45.720 --> 0:03:47.640 song all for you. I think you're right on that, 0:03:47.800 --> 0:03:51.520 So I think so, I don't know. About fifteen years ago, 0:03:52.080 --> 0:03:57.480 the religious institution behind my building, behind my house made 0:03:57.480 --> 0:04:01.120 their parking lot bigger, and the parking lot took away 0:04:01.160 --> 0:04:04.600 part of the forest in my backyard, my private backyard. 0:04:05.040 --> 0:04:06.800 So when they were doing that, I said, listen, guys, 0:04:08.440 --> 0:04:10.600 if you are going to do that, I'm gonna have 0:04:10.600 --> 0:04:13.280 a parking lot in view of my backyard. That that 0:04:13.440 --> 0:04:16.400 decreases my property value. That that's not good. So I 0:04:16.680 --> 0:04:21.480 went to the municipal court in town and I they 0:04:21.480 --> 0:04:24.000 were good about it, but I basically forced them fought 0:04:24.120 --> 0:04:28.160 them on this. No. No, I forced them to build 0:04:28.200 --> 0:04:31.880 a fence, a wooden fence, h six ft high fence 0:04:32.320 --> 0:04:35.440 behind my property all the way up the block to 0:04:35.520 --> 0:04:38.480 the other properties that were affected. Because if they're they 0:04:38.520 --> 0:04:40.960 got a permit to make their parking lot. If you're here, 0:04:41.040 --> 0:04:44.039 but this is God's country and those parking spaces for 0:04:44.160 --> 0:04:46.800 his disciples. What are you doing? You're trying to you 0:04:46.920 --> 0:04:48.919 take that away from them? Okay, so this was a 0:04:48.920 --> 0:04:51.000 long time ago, but everyone on the block thanked me. 0:04:51.080 --> 0:04:54.280 All right. So it's it's basically a wood colored fence, right. 0:04:54.279 --> 0:04:57.160 It's not painted, it's not stained, it's wood color. So 0:04:57.279 --> 0:05:00.800 behind my pool, I have I don't know about six ft. 0:05:01.240 --> 0:05:03.119 I have a fence around the pool. I have about 0:05:03.120 --> 0:05:05.919 six ft behind the fence where you can walk and 0:05:05.960 --> 0:05:08.599 then his um, we're like the deer run by through 0:05:08.640 --> 0:05:10.919 my property. They go by the fence and then past 0:05:11.080 --> 0:05:14.640 my pool fence is this wooden fence. So there's about 0:05:14.720 --> 0:05:17.560 six ft and in that six ft, I want to 0:05:17.560 --> 0:05:20.640 say one foot is their property and a few feet 0:05:20.680 --> 0:05:25.120 are my property. Does that make sense? Yes? Okay, so 0:05:25.279 --> 0:05:27.920 I get chipped off your feet. Hold on. I get 0:05:27.960 --> 0:05:31.320 a text message from my neighbor to my uh, facing 0:05:31.360 --> 0:05:33.800 my house to the left, and he says, did you 0:05:33.839 --> 0:05:36.800 know anything about the fence? So what are you talking about? 0:05:36.800 --> 0:05:38.839 He says, well, I'm not home. My wife just texted 0:05:38.880 --> 0:05:44.080 me that somebody painted the fence white. What why would 0:05:44.080 --> 0:05:47.000 anyone paint our side of the fence white. That's got 0:05:47.080 --> 0:05:49.200 to look awful. He says, Oh, I here, it looks terrible. 0:05:49.560 --> 0:05:52.320 So we both rush home and I get home and 0:05:52.680 --> 0:05:57.320 not the fence goes from my house to the and 0:05:57.360 --> 0:06:00.279 it goes to the left about eight houses, but only 0:06:00.320 --> 0:06:03.359 the first two houses from right to left where the 0:06:03.400 --> 0:06:06.000 fence ends or it starts, depending on how if you're 0:06:06.040 --> 0:06:08.800 an Optimist or not. Behind my house in his house, 0:06:08.839 --> 0:06:12.320 it's white. And whose fence is that? It belongs to 0:06:12.360 --> 0:06:14.840 the religious institution? Okay, but they painted it. Do they 0:06:14.839 --> 0:06:16.880 have a right to paint it because it's okay, it's 0:06:16.920 --> 0:06:20.039 their fence. But it's now what I saw, But it 0:06:20.040 --> 0:06:21.600 belongs to them. They could do whatever the funk they 0:06:21.600 --> 0:06:23.960 want with their Well they can, but let me finish. 0:06:23.960 --> 0:06:26.520 So I go. I go behind my pool fence to 0:06:26.600 --> 0:06:30.920 the common area. And whoever painted it didn't paint all 0:06:30.960 --> 0:06:33.920 the way to the bottom. They sort of painted from 0:06:33.960 --> 0:06:36.400 like six inches from the top of the fence to oh, 0:06:36.440 --> 0:06:38.359 I don't know, about a foot from the bottom. Like 0:06:38.440 --> 0:06:43.000 the worst half ast job of painting you've ever seen. Plus, 0:06:43.080 --> 0:06:44.320 have you ever had a lot of paint on your 0:06:44.320 --> 0:06:47.640 paint brush and you flick it and like paint flies 0:06:47.680 --> 0:06:51.600 off the paintbrush. Yes, it looks like whoever was painting, 0:06:51.880 --> 0:06:54.640 whether it was a roller or paintbrush, flicked it a 0:06:54.720 --> 0:06:57.880 few times. So now the trees that are behind my 0:06:57.920 --> 0:07:02.560 pool have white paint on them. Oh, ship, And in 0:07:02.640 --> 0:07:06.320 order to paint the fence unless unless you straddled the 0:07:06.320 --> 0:07:09.440 one ft of of property, you had to have walked 0:07:09.480 --> 0:07:12.800 on my five feet of property behind my pool, which 0:07:12.840 --> 0:07:18.200 is technically trespassing. So I call and find out who 0:07:18.240 --> 0:07:22.680 the contact person is at the institution and I email 0:07:22.760 --> 0:07:24.640 them and I say, what's going on? What are you? 0:07:24.720 --> 0:07:27.400 What are you doing? Like my wife? And I cannot 0:07:27.400 --> 0:07:30.000 figure out why anyone would paint outside of the fence 0:07:30.360 --> 0:07:33.560 at badly, and only behind the two houses, not the 0:07:33.600 --> 0:07:37.160 eight houses I got on the fence. The other side 0:07:37.240 --> 0:07:39.160 is also painted white. Now, if you want to paint 0:07:39.200 --> 0:07:41.920 your side white facing your parking lot, that's your business. 0:07:41.960 --> 0:07:45.000 I get it, but they painted my side I don't understand, 0:07:45.040 --> 0:07:47.800 and it looks terrible because it's now standing out from 0:07:47.800 --> 0:07:51.360 my bushes behind my pool like boom they had. So 0:07:51.400 --> 0:07:53.960 they had to come on to your property. Yes, so 0:07:57.240 --> 0:08:00.400 so again, there's six ft between my pool and this 0:08:00.400 --> 0:08:03.400 wooden fence, but only one of the feet is theirs. 0:08:04.360 --> 0:08:08.560 So unless they like we're like huddled up against the fence, 0:08:09.040 --> 0:08:12.240 they had to have, I guess, walked on my five feet, right, 0:08:12.240 --> 0:08:13.960 even if you stand back a foot and half from 0:08:13.960 --> 0:08:18.000 the fence. But question, question, though they put up defence, 0:08:18.040 --> 0:08:22.200 they paid for it, so technically the entire fence is 0:08:22.240 --> 0:08:25.520 their property because not the five feet off the fence 0:08:25.600 --> 0:08:30.400 that's my property, but defense itself. So they could they could, 0:08:30.520 --> 0:08:34.600 They could get away with painting it because if they 0:08:34.679 --> 0:08:37.720 huddled up against the fence and didn't take a step 0:08:37.720 --> 0:08:42.560 back onto my property, right, Okay, So the guy from 0:08:42.600 --> 0:08:46.640 the Institution UM said, I'm gonna call it God in 0:08:46.679 --> 0:08:51.120 a box. It's easier. It's a jack in a box. 0:08:51.120 --> 0:08:52.920 So God, the guy from God God in a Box 0:08:53.600 --> 0:08:55.880 UM emails me back and he says, I'm sorry, I 0:08:55.880 --> 0:08:58.280 don't know anything about this. I don't know I don't 0:08:58.280 --> 0:09:00.679 know what you're talking about. So I saw back, how 0:09:00.679 --> 0:09:03.360 do you He says, I'm home right now. I said, 0:09:03.400 --> 0:09:05.920 you don't know that somebody painted defense? He's what, what? 0:09:05.920 --> 0:09:09.160 What was it? I said, well, it's Saturday now, and 0:09:09.200 --> 0:09:11.560 I was out by my pool on Wednesday, so it 0:09:11.559 --> 0:09:13.959 had to be Thursday or Friday. He said, well, I'll 0:09:13.960 --> 0:09:17.000 have to investigate this. He gets back to me and 0:09:17.040 --> 0:09:20.959 he says, well, we rent the parking lot out on 0:09:21.000 --> 0:09:25.520 Thursdays to the local boy Scouts. They use it for 0:09:25.600 --> 0:09:29.520 meetings and whatnot. You think maybe it was a boy 0:09:29.520 --> 0:09:32.400 Scout project. So he says, I know they were doing 0:09:32.480 --> 0:09:36.200 clean up. I said, well, okay. He goes, let me investigate. 0:09:37.080 --> 0:09:39.280 It's okay. So he gets back to me, says, the 0:09:39.320 --> 0:09:42.360 boy Scouts thought they were doing this a favor and 0:09:42.520 --> 0:09:46.320 decided to paint the fence white. I said, but why 0:09:46.320 --> 0:09:48.800 would they paint my side? Yeah? I don't know. I 0:09:48.840 --> 0:09:51.560 don't know the answer to that. So I said, well, 0:09:51.960 --> 0:09:54.040 you're gonna have to take the paint off the fence 0:09:55.120 --> 0:09:57.200 because it's an isore. And my neighbor said the same thing, 0:09:57.600 --> 0:09:59.880 like a bad neighbor. Brody is there? Here we go, 0:10:00.679 --> 0:10:03.640 You're gonna have to I'm telling you, this is gonna 0:10:03.640 --> 0:10:06.319 become a problem because they're gonna argue against it. No, 0:10:06.440 --> 0:10:10.280 they didn't know you're so you're negative, Nancy. So they said, no, 0:10:10.480 --> 0:10:12.439 we'll we'll take care of it. What do you want, 0:10:12.559 --> 0:10:15.000 I said, Well, they said we can stain over the 0:10:15.000 --> 0:10:17.840 paint and stain at brown. I said no, because it's 0:10:17.880 --> 0:10:20.040 gonna look like white paint with stain. It's gonna look terrible. 0:10:20.280 --> 0:10:22.040 I just wanted to look like it used to look. 0:10:23.360 --> 0:10:25.319 They said, all right, well, yeah, we'll do that. Well, 0:10:25.320 --> 0:10:28.440 we'll hire somebody, we'll pay for it. I have to 0:10:28.440 --> 0:10:31.280 figure out the budget and we'll get someone to remove 0:10:31.320 --> 0:10:34.000 the paint, and if it doesn't come off, we'll we'll 0:10:34.320 --> 0:10:36.520 put some options on the table for you, whatever you like. 0:10:36.960 --> 0:10:40.360 Being very accommodating, it's very nice to them. My neighbor says, 0:10:40.400 --> 0:10:44.880 that's fine. So what's today, Thursday? We were recording on Thursday. 0:10:45.440 --> 0:10:49.199 So on Friday of last week they start the process 0:10:49.720 --> 0:10:52.959 of removing the paint on my neighbor's property. They don't 0:10:53.000 --> 0:10:55.840 have a pool, so behind their house it's like boom fence. 0:10:56.840 --> 0:10:59.000 My pool and the bushes sort of block the fence. 0:10:59.200 --> 0:11:03.480 It's not as bood it. So they do the fence 0:11:04.080 --> 0:11:06.959 half a third on Friday of my neighbor, a third 0:11:06.960 --> 0:11:11.920 on Saturday of my of my neighbor, and then they 0:11:11.920 --> 0:11:15.760 don't ever get past that. So Monday they finish up 0:11:15.760 --> 0:11:21.320 my my neighbor's fence almost now they still haven't touched 0:11:21.360 --> 0:11:25.960 my fence. Then it rains. It hasn't stopped raining since, Like, 0:11:26.480 --> 0:11:28.480 you're you're not gonna get this fence until next week 0:11:29.280 --> 0:11:33.760 at least. All right, I know, but I'm saying that 0:11:33.800 --> 0:11:36.760 the we're having we're having a house full of guests. 0:11:36.920 --> 0:11:40.040 I'm sorry, let me rephrase that phrase that we're having 0:11:40.120 --> 0:11:44.480 a handful of kids over for Halloween for a spaced 0:11:44.480 --> 0:11:48.200 out chairs are separated ten ft apart on my in 0:11:48.240 --> 0:11:52.000 my backyard. And I borrowed a movie projector right to 0:11:52.200 --> 0:11:55.559 show a movie on the project like a screen. It 0:11:55.679 --> 0:11:58.440 just basically it shows off your laptop like it'll it'll 0:11:58.480 --> 0:12:00.520 whatever is on your laptop, you plug in and projects 0:12:00.800 --> 0:12:04.080 onto the screen. So it's a socially distanced party. We're 0:12:04.160 --> 0:12:06.480 very safe. But I have to have these people now 0:12:06.760 --> 0:12:10.360 in my backyard with this horrendous looking fence. I know 0:12:10.400 --> 0:12:13.680 it's not a big deal. The rain. No, but the 0:12:13.800 --> 0:12:16.920 rain and there's trees with white paint on them, Like, 0:12:16.960 --> 0:12:19.080 the rain is just ruining my week Why don't you 0:12:19.120 --> 0:12:21.400 make it part of your decor for Halloween? Why don't 0:12:21.440 --> 0:12:23.400 you dress it up a little bit for the weekend. Well, 0:12:23.440 --> 0:12:25.280 that's what we were thinking. We were thinking of making 0:12:25.280 --> 0:12:28.280 it like a like a graveyard fence. Yeah, and put 0:12:28.320 --> 0:12:32.120 like a stone barkings on it. Yes, So that's I 0:12:32.160 --> 0:12:33.520 want to get back to the fact that the boy 0:12:33.520 --> 0:12:35.640 Scouts don't think we're doing you a favor. How cool 0:12:35.720 --> 0:12:38.920 is that? Well, hold on, I love the boy Scouts, uh, 0:12:39.000 --> 0:12:42.560 not in the wrong way, But I don't know what 0:12:42.600 --> 0:12:45.280 they were thinking painting the back of a fence, Like, 0:12:45.320 --> 0:12:48.400 why would you ever paint back of the fence. They 0:12:48.400 --> 0:12:52.360 do things. They do things, boy Scout, I don't know, 0:12:52.800 --> 0:12:55.000 tie and not don't paint the back of my fence. 0:12:55.280 --> 0:12:59.160 You know they two sticks together. If you're not talking 0:12:59.160 --> 0:13:03.400 about well Scouts, they obviously have cost God in a 0:13:03.440 --> 0:13:07.520 box a lot of money. So sometimes your something, Listen. 0:13:07.600 --> 0:13:09.679 My point was, sometimes your neighbor is a prick, and 0:13:09.720 --> 0:13:12.439 sometimes your neighbor does the right thing. So in this case, 0:13:13.040 --> 0:13:15.360 shout out to God. In a box near me. Yeah, 0:13:15.520 --> 0:13:18.400 they did the right thing. Yeah, I honestly thought this 0:13:18.440 --> 0:13:21.680 was headed for a court battle. No, No, that was 0:13:21.800 --> 0:13:24.280 that was the worst luck, bro. That was the thing 0:13:24.400 --> 0:13:26.960 I thought the guy would remember. I was hoping it 0:13:27.000 --> 0:13:29.360 wasn't the same guy, because if it was the same 0:13:29.360 --> 0:13:30.800 guy who remembered that I took him in the court 0:13:30.840 --> 0:13:33.840 fifteen years ago with twelve year whatever it was, they'd 0:13:33.840 --> 0:13:35.880 be like, you know what, it's payback. F you in 0:13:35.960 --> 0:13:38.280 your fence. That's what I was worried about, Like, oh, 0:13:38.320 --> 0:13:40.480 we built a fence for you, you made us pay 0:13:40.480 --> 0:13:42.760 for the fence. Now you in your fence. I'm glad 0:13:42.800 --> 0:13:46.640 that you're You're having a socially distant Halloween a gathering 0:13:47.040 --> 0:13:50.480 this weekend. This is a big for you. You love 0:13:50.559 --> 0:13:55.040 Halloway Saturday Saturday night, when I mean only comes but 0:13:55.520 --> 0:14:01.559 once every seven years. But but you know this is 0:14:01.600 --> 0:14:06.480 a big one. And uh, you know, normally I go out, 0:14:06.559 --> 0:14:08.440 I do a club event. You know, I'm always out 0:14:08.440 --> 0:14:11.320 at the place. I'm not gonna have that. And and 0:14:11.640 --> 0:14:13.640 wait a minute, you're gonna lose that on Thanksgiving money 0:14:13.640 --> 0:14:15.320 this year. Well we don't get to that yet. That's all. 0:14:15.920 --> 0:14:19.640 That's another Well that's another story that's later on, but 0:14:19.800 --> 0:14:21.480 we'll get to that. We'll not maybe we're not gonna 0:14:21.480 --> 0:14:25.120 get to this episode. And my point is, um, so 0:14:25.240 --> 0:14:27.480 I'm like, oh, what's on the agenda? What are we doing? 0:14:27.960 --> 0:14:31.360 And my girlfriend was like, oh, well, we kind of 0:14:31.400 --> 0:14:35.240 were invited to a gender reveal party this weekend. Wait 0:14:35.280 --> 0:14:38.440 hold on, Wait a second, hold on, But but she's 0:14:38.840 --> 0:14:41.880 She's like, up, she doesn't want to be there for this, 0:14:42.080 --> 0:14:45.040 and neither do I. I certainly don't, but she doesn't 0:14:45.080 --> 0:14:47.800 because it's COVID times right. So I'm like, we got 0:14:47.800 --> 0:14:50.600 the perfect excuse. I'm like, fuck it, tell him no, 0:14:50.880 --> 0:14:53.880 send the gift, whatever. But it got me to think 0:14:54.280 --> 0:14:57.160 that gender revealed parties are so fucking self selfish. And 0:14:57.200 --> 0:15:00.520 we haven't talked about that on this podcast. No, no, 0:15:00.640 --> 0:15:04.520 but dying people are dying, running down. We know what 0:15:04.560 --> 0:15:07.760 happened in California. Yes, people are shooting fire works into 0:15:07.800 --> 0:15:10.000 the air and they turned out pink for the pink 0:15:10.160 --> 0:15:12.320 it's a girl. Oh wait a second. Now the forest 0:15:12.520 --> 0:15:15.280 is on fire because last year or the year before, 0:15:15.360 --> 0:15:17.560 some guy burned down this state. It was a Colorado. 0:15:18.320 --> 0:15:19.840 It doesn't matter what state it was. You know he 0:15:19.920 --> 0:15:22.840 blew up something. He fired a rifle into a into 0:15:22.840 --> 0:15:25.320 a target that blew up and it caused the mouth. 0:15:25.400 --> 0:15:28.600 Leads me to believe that people have no First of all, 0:15:28.640 --> 0:15:31.120 they have no moral compass, but they have no compass 0:15:31.200 --> 0:15:34.600 of what people what's important to them versus other people. 0:15:35.600 --> 0:15:40.320 Nobody gives a fuck about you getting people together for 0:15:40.360 --> 0:15:44.760 four hours, possibly collecting more gifts for another occasion, just 0:15:44.800 --> 0:15:47.040 to find out the sex of your child. Now, please, 0:15:47.040 --> 0:15:49.040 if you're listening to this and you've you've had a 0:15:49.040 --> 0:15:53.200 gender reveal party, Yeah, I don't know what does Just 0:15:53.480 --> 0:15:55.800 with the way I view it is you you're getting 0:15:55.800 --> 0:16:00.280 people to together, right, and you're thinking everybody cares as 0:16:00.360 --> 0:16:05.600 much as you and yours. It's gonna boy. You don't 0:16:05.600 --> 0:16:07.880 want to get into genders and the whole thing, but 0:16:07.920 --> 0:16:11.160 it's fifty fifty body pots coming out. Um. Look, if 0:16:11.360 --> 0:16:14.000 let's okay, if we lived in a world where you 0:16:14.080 --> 0:16:16.440 had a ten percent chance of having a superhero baby, 0:16:17.560 --> 0:16:21.520 if you could give birth to a flying, super strong baby, 0:16:21.880 --> 0:16:24.160 then I would have a gender revealed party on the 0:16:24.280 --> 0:16:27.000 chance that my baby could be a superhero. How great 0:16:27.040 --> 0:16:29.080 would be? Oh my god, I have a superhero baby. 0:16:29.920 --> 0:16:34.320 But if you are simply giving birth, which yeah, well 0:16:34.400 --> 0:16:39.480 don't listen, most people can't. Respect to those. Millions and 0:16:39.560 --> 0:16:42.400 billions of people have done this. But but almost every 0:16:42.440 --> 0:16:47.320 animal on the planet, like it's some some litters, dogs 0:16:47.320 --> 0:16:49.560 have eight puppies. Whatever. But you're gonna have a boy 0:16:49.640 --> 0:16:52.960 or a girl, right, Good for you, Good for you. 0:16:53.000 --> 0:16:55.920 So I think I was in PC Richard's son about 0:16:55.960 --> 0:17:00.080 a year ago. It's East Coast good friends of ours, 0:17:00.120 --> 0:17:05.520 we love them. Not a sponsor the podcast. A woman. Uh, 0:17:05.560 --> 0:17:08.920 she's probably like sixty seven years old. Um. I guess 0:17:08.920 --> 0:17:11.480 she didn't have internet at home or or the technology. 0:17:11.520 --> 0:17:15.800 What is internet? What is internet? Um? She was standing 0:17:15.800 --> 0:17:19.439 in the middle of PC Richard. Uh. Either look it 0:17:19.520 --> 0:17:22.119 was an iPad display, maybe an iPad that they were 0:17:22.119 --> 0:17:25.879 selling it was, or a tablet or even maybe a computer. 0:17:25.920 --> 0:17:29.240 I remember what it was. She was facetiming. It was 0:17:29.320 --> 0:17:31.960 before zoom, so it was probably FaceTime, I guess, or no, 0:17:32.119 --> 0:17:36.600 it was, Um, what's the other one, Uh, Skype? She 0:17:36.680 --> 0:17:42.080 was skyping or whatever. Remember that she was skyping to 0:17:42.200 --> 0:17:45.639 watch her daughter. I guess her daughter was back in 0:17:45.680 --> 0:17:48.880 the home country. I think that's what it was. Um. 0:17:49.280 --> 0:17:51.520 For some reason, she couldn't make it there. Maybe she 0:17:51.560 --> 0:17:53.960 was across the country, whatever it was. So she was 0:17:54.040 --> 0:17:57.080 in the middle of this electronics store for a gender 0:17:57.119 --> 0:18:02.280 revealed party for her for her soon to be grandchild. Right, 0:18:02.359 --> 0:18:04.399 but I saw I was happy to be shopping, so 0:18:04.400 --> 0:18:05.920 so I said, oh, what are you doing. She's like, oh, 0:18:06.160 --> 0:18:08.200 I'm watching a gender reveal party. My daughter is gonna 0:18:08.200 --> 0:18:10.960 announce what she's having. So she stood there for like 0:18:11.000 --> 0:18:13.320 a half hour. I was shopping and I come back 0:18:13.359 --> 0:18:15.840 and she's still standing there because they weren't ready yet. 0:18:17.600 --> 0:18:24.240 Day and right, let me know, let me know, you 0:18:24.320 --> 0:18:26.080 let her, you let the mom at least it look 0:18:26.160 --> 0:18:28.240 you're not gonna be with us today. It's a great 0:18:28.480 --> 0:18:31.399 it's great. They have this woman standing in electronics store. 0:18:32.440 --> 0:18:35.359 And you know what, I love you know how self 0:18:35.400 --> 0:18:37.959 absorbed you have to be. My wife and I did 0:18:38.000 --> 0:18:41.479 a gender reveal for our third child to ourselves, right, 0:18:42.520 --> 0:18:44.800 we had the obstetrician put an envelope. Put in the 0:18:44.880 --> 0:18:47.760 envelope what we were having, because we we wanted to 0:18:47.800 --> 0:18:51.960 find out privately, right just between the two of us, 0:18:52.400 --> 0:18:55.359 not in front of the obstetrician, what we were having. 0:18:56.280 --> 0:18:58.040 So in the privacy of our own home after a 0:18:58.119 --> 0:19:01.119 nice dinner, we open the envelope and we we celebrated 0:19:01.119 --> 0:19:06.880 that knowledge together, and then we called our relatives and said, hey, 0:19:07.119 --> 0:19:09.239 this is what's going on. When we were ready like 0:19:09.320 --> 0:19:12.080 a month later, of course, yeah, but no, yeah, but 0:19:12.320 --> 0:19:15.440 now people, you know, the first of all, I think 0:19:15.480 --> 0:19:17.440 it's ballsy to do one of these, but it's it's 0:19:17.440 --> 0:19:20.520 even more ballsy to do it. Oh, it's Halloween weekend. 0:19:20.960 --> 0:19:23.480 Who cares it? It's not like you, you know, families 0:19:23.480 --> 0:19:25.880 don't have kids that maybe trick or treating or doing 0:19:25.920 --> 0:19:29.280 these uh socially distant events. Whatever you're you're doing for 0:19:29.280 --> 0:19:31.840 the pandemic. Making a zoom call, make a ten minute 0:19:31.880 --> 0:19:34.800 zoom call. It's like you have to fucking not even 0:19:34.800 --> 0:19:37.199 that it's not worth it. No, I'm not kidding on 0:19:37.200 --> 0:19:39.919 your goddamn zoom call for your gender reveal.

Right, 0:19:50.520 --> 0:19:52.480 maybe it's a friend of hers. Was this right up 0:19:52.520 --> 0:19:54.240 there with asking how much the baby weights? Not a 0:19:54.240 --> 0:19:56.280 friend she sees every day, We'll put it that way. Oh, 0:19:56.320 --> 0:19:59.439 then definitely, why would you want to see them then, Like, 0:19:59.440 --> 0:20:02.440 if I'm gonna risk my life exaggeration, but I'm gonna 0:20:02.480 --> 0:20:06.400 risk my life and give up a holiday Saturday, even 0:20:06.480 --> 0:20:09.240 during COVID times.

Well, 0:20:38.080 --> 0:20:44.399 I think that would be the push out party. The 0:20:44.480 --> 0:20:46.919 push out party, I mean, I think that would be 0:20:46.960 --> 0:20:49.080 more than not that you're gonna do that. But now 0:20:49.119 --> 0:20:53.720 that's a moment. It's like bringing the life. Like here 0:20:54.040 --> 0:20:58.320 head just popped out, Like I think it's awfully conceded. Again, 0:20:58.359 --> 0:21:01.080 can you see what I gets?
