1 00:00:08,960 --> 00:00:12,760 Speaker 1: Hi, and welcome back to the Carol Markowitz Show on iHeartRadio. 2 00:00:13,119 --> 00:00:16,680 Speaker 1: Last week I put out a call for advice for 3 00:00:16,760 --> 00:00:20,720 Speaker 1: my single listeners who want to meet someone to marry. 4 00:00:21,040 --> 00:00:23,800 Speaker 1: I got a ton of tips, but I wanted to 5 00:00:23,840 --> 00:00:26,680 Speaker 1: sort through them all so that I wasn't telling single 6 00:00:26,720 --> 00:00:29,840 Speaker 1: people to, you know, put yourself out there or get 7 00:00:29,880 --> 00:00:33,519 Speaker 1: on the apps, advice they've heard a million times and 8 00:00:33,680 --> 00:00:36,559 Speaker 1: that probably makes them like murderous at this point. I 9 00:00:36,600 --> 00:00:40,519 Speaker 1: will tell you that a lot of people suggested similar stuff, 10 00:00:41,080 --> 00:00:43,560 Speaker 1: and so I'll tell you what that is. One thing 11 00:00:43,600 --> 00:00:46,960 Speaker 1: that came up a lot was going to church and 12 00:00:47,159 --> 00:00:50,279 Speaker 1: obviously translate that into your own house of worship if 13 00:00:50,320 --> 00:00:52,839 Speaker 1: you're not a Christian, and that generally sounds like a 14 00:00:52,840 --> 00:00:56,840 Speaker 1: great idea to me. You're more likely to meet someone 15 00:00:56,920 --> 00:01:01,520 Speaker 1: a bit more serious and interested in something actually at church. 16 00:01:01,640 --> 00:01:01,800 Speaker 2: Right. 17 00:01:02,040 --> 00:01:05,200 Speaker 1: Another piece of advice that many shared was to get 18 00:01:05,200 --> 00:01:08,320 Speaker 1: off the apps. And I approve of this one obviously, 19 00:01:08,360 --> 00:01:10,640 Speaker 1: and I've talked about it on the show. Before the 20 00:01:10,720 --> 00:01:14,360 Speaker 1: apps become like a video game. They take away the 21 00:01:14,520 --> 00:01:18,280 Speaker 1: urgency to meet someone because you can just keep swiping. 22 00:01:18,640 --> 00:01:22,399 Speaker 1: Having said that, I think they can be useful for 23 00:01:22,600 --> 00:01:27,080 Speaker 1: at least creating a pool of people to date, especially 24 00:01:27,240 --> 00:01:30,480 Speaker 1: if you work from home or generally don't get the 25 00:01:30,520 --> 00:01:33,440 Speaker 1: ability to meet a lot of datable people. I would 26 00:01:33,520 --> 00:01:36,600 Speaker 1: treat the apps as a step in the process and 27 00:01:36,640 --> 00:01:40,400 Speaker 1: not like the whole process. Take it offline as quickly 28 00:01:40,480 --> 00:01:43,039 Speaker 1: as possible. Once you do meet someone on an app, 29 00:01:43,440 --> 00:01:46,959 Speaker 1: see if there's an actual real life attraction as early 30 00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:49,040 Speaker 1: as you can, because I think that's one of the 31 00:01:49,080 --> 00:01:52,080 Speaker 1: biggest things. People spend a lot of time talking to 32 00:01:52,160 --> 00:01:55,480 Speaker 1: somebody on the app, and they'll think that they're attracted, 33 00:01:55,560 --> 00:01:57,440 Speaker 1: but then they'll meet in real life and realize that 34 00:01:57,480 --> 00:02:01,960 Speaker 1: they're not. So just just using the apps in a 35 00:02:02,400 --> 00:02:06,000 Speaker 1: limited fashion. Tim Carney, who will be on the show 36 00:02:06,080 --> 00:02:08,960 Speaker 1: next month when his latest book comes out, and whose 37 00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:12,079 Speaker 1: brother John Carney, was on the show this past Monday, 38 00:02:12,880 --> 00:02:17,120 Speaker 1: suggested throwing house parties. He said, one per month, and 39 00:02:17,240 --> 00:02:19,560 Speaker 1: go out of your way to make sure friends of 40 00:02:19,680 --> 00:02:22,960 Speaker 1: friends come. He said, if you're the host, every girl 41 00:02:22,960 --> 00:02:25,520 Speaker 1: who shows up is happy to talk to you. And 42 00:02:25,680 --> 00:02:28,120 Speaker 1: you know, that's a great idea. I think as people 43 00:02:28,120 --> 00:02:31,359 Speaker 1: get older that gets tougher to accomplish. But if you're 44 00:02:31,600 --> 00:02:33,160 Speaker 1: of an age where you can have a bunch of 45 00:02:33,160 --> 00:02:36,440 Speaker 1: people over to your place, have people bring friends, and 46 00:02:36,840 --> 00:02:39,480 Speaker 1: that's a really good way to meet people. One Twitter 47 00:02:39,520 --> 00:02:44,440 Speaker 1: response from someone called Hostage Hoyser, hostage Hoyser, I think 48 00:02:44,440 --> 00:02:48,639 Speaker 1: that's I'm saying it correctly was young ladies stake out 49 00:02:48,680 --> 00:02:52,680 Speaker 1: the engineering department at your local university. The goods are odd, 50 00:02:52,800 --> 00:02:56,120 Speaker 1: but the odds are good. Now. I'm not commenting on 51 00:02:56,200 --> 00:02:59,040 Speaker 1: the oddness of engineers here, but I like this one 52 00:02:59,080 --> 00:03:02,040 Speaker 1: a lot because it is always good to put yourself 53 00:03:02,040 --> 00:03:05,680 Speaker 1: in a situation where you can meet multiple datable people 54 00:03:05,919 --> 00:03:10,240 Speaker 1: and see who you like. My hobbies, politics and poker 55 00:03:10,480 --> 00:03:15,160 Speaker 1: were always very male dominated. I'd go here speakers at 56 00:03:15,200 --> 00:03:19,239 Speaker 1: New York political events and men outnumbered women by a lot, 57 00:03:19,639 --> 00:03:22,480 Speaker 1: and I have often been like the only woman at 58 00:03:22,480 --> 00:03:25,760 Speaker 1: a poker table for a man. That might translate to 59 00:03:26,240 --> 00:03:29,920 Speaker 1: like a dance class or a cooking class. Just somewhere 60 00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:33,280 Speaker 1: where women will outnumber men. Buy a lot and you'll 61 00:03:33,280 --> 00:03:35,440 Speaker 1: get to meet kind of a lot of women, all 62 00:03:35,480 --> 00:03:38,480 Speaker 1: at the same time, and possibly hit it off with one. 63 00:03:38,640 --> 00:03:42,560 Speaker 1: My last idea is to make sure that your friends 64 00:03:42,720 --> 00:03:45,800 Speaker 1: know that you want to get set up. I have 65 00:03:45,880 --> 00:03:48,720 Speaker 1: some friends that love to be set up and some 66 00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:52,520 Speaker 1: that very much don't knowing which ones are into being 67 00:03:52,560 --> 00:03:55,680 Speaker 1: introduced will help your friends think of you when they 68 00:03:55,720 --> 00:03:59,320 Speaker 1: come across someone interesting. I know none of these suggestions 69 00:03:59,400 --> 00:04:03,120 Speaker 1: are rockets science. My goal here is to motivate you, 70 00:04:03,480 --> 00:04:06,480 Speaker 1: if you're single and don't want to be, to go 71 00:04:06,640 --> 00:04:09,120 Speaker 1: take a chance and to live your life in a 72 00:04:09,160 --> 00:04:12,920 Speaker 1: purposeful way so that you can meet your person. My 73 00:04:13,080 --> 00:04:16,320 Speaker 1: final thought is that if you're trying to meet someone, 74 00:04:16,960 --> 00:04:20,400 Speaker 1: nothing will hold you back more than still seeing or 75 00:04:20,480 --> 00:04:24,839 Speaker 1: talking to, or worst, hooking up with someone you used 76 00:04:24,880 --> 00:04:28,040 Speaker 1: to be with. It will lull you into a feeling 77 00:04:28,080 --> 00:04:31,320 Speaker 1: that you're with someone when you're really just wasting your time. 78 00:04:31,480 --> 00:04:34,920 Speaker 1: Coming up next and interview with John Bachman. Join us 79 00:04:34,960 --> 00:04:40,760 Speaker 1: after the break. Hi, and welcome back to the Carol 80 00:04:40,800 --> 00:04:45,120 Speaker 1: Markowitz Show on iHeartRadio.

Thanks for coming on, John, Carol. 84 00:04:55,279 --> 00:04:56,720 Speaker 2: I'm so excited to do this with you. 85 00:04:56,920 --> 00:05:00,000 Speaker 1: I'm so happy you're here. So I have to say 86 00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:02,839 Speaker 1: I say, I feel like you have a very made 87 00:05:02,880 --> 00:05:05,040 Speaker 1: for TV look like even if I didn't know you 88 00:05:05,120 --> 00:05:08,040 Speaker 1: I'd be like that guy is on TV. Do you 89 00:05:08,080 --> 00:05:09,200 Speaker 1: get recognized a lot? 90 00:05:09,440 --> 00:05:11,440 Speaker 2: I don't get recognized a lot. I mean I do 91 00:05:11,480 --> 00:05:14,520 Speaker 2: get recognized, but the more common thing that happens, and 92 00:05:14,560 --> 00:05:16,520 Speaker 2: you might be able to talk about this too, because 93 00:05:17,080 --> 00:05:19,880 Speaker 2: you know you're certainly in the same uh you know 94 00:05:19,960 --> 00:05:23,280 Speaker 2: arena is people will just look at you, and you 95 00:05:23,320 --> 00:05:27,800 Speaker 2: wonder do they actually recognize me? Sometimes I'm reminded like humbled, 96 00:05:27,839 --> 00:05:30,240 Speaker 2: because I'll leave straight from work with makeup on my 97 00:05:30,320 --> 00:05:32,520 Speaker 2: face and I'll be like, oh my gosh, I'm at 98 00:05:32,520 --> 00:05:34,960 Speaker 2: home depot and somebody recognizes me, or they see me 99 00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:37,120 Speaker 2: and look at me, when really they think they're just 100 00:05:37,160 --> 00:05:39,000 Speaker 2: looking at me because I'm a guy wearing makeup at 101 00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:41,680 Speaker 2: home depot. I think that happens more often than actually 102 00:05:41,680 --> 00:05:44,400 Speaker 2: people recognizing me, but it does depend on where I am. 103 00:05:44,480 --> 00:05:48,279 Speaker 2: And I'm always again humbled when people do recognize me 104 00:05:48,400 --> 00:05:50,760 Speaker 2: and come up to me and they talk about the 105 00:05:50,800 --> 00:05:54,480 Speaker 2: fact that they appreciate what I do or which which 106 00:05:54,520 --> 00:05:56,560 Speaker 2: does happen from time to time. So that keeps me going. 107 00:05:57,120 --> 00:05:59,039 Speaker 1: Yeah, I like when people look at me and they're like, 108 00:05:59,080 --> 00:06:01,960 Speaker 1: did we go to high school together? That's not it. 109 00:06:02,120 --> 00:06:04,800 Speaker 1: That's not where you know me. Yeah. No, so you 110 00:06:04,880 --> 00:06:09,040 Speaker 1: have this hit show, you're obviously doing amazing. I know 111 00:06:09,080 --> 00:06:12,640 Speaker 1: you have a beautiful family. Do you feel like you've 112 00:06:12,640 --> 00:06:12,960 Speaker 1: made it? 113 00:06:13,520 --> 00:06:16,279 Speaker 2: No? And I thank you for making sure I was 114 00:06:16,320 --> 00:06:19,560 Speaker 2: ready for this question. And I mean there's just I mean, 115 00:06:19,600 --> 00:06:22,840 Speaker 2: I don't know how anyone with multiple kids can ever 116 00:06:22,880 --> 00:06:25,480 Speaker 2: feel like they've made it, because, you know, I think 117 00:06:26,440 --> 00:06:28,840 Speaker 2: everyone is challenged in a different way and it's all 118 00:06:28,880 --> 00:06:30,600 Speaker 2: for the better. I mean, I think you know you 119 00:06:30,640 --> 00:06:33,560 Speaker 2: can attest to this is that you know, having kids 120 00:06:33,640 --> 00:06:36,000 Speaker 2: is one of the most challenging and rewarding things anybody 121 00:06:36,040 --> 00:06:38,600 Speaker 2: can ever do. And those two things things go hand 122 00:06:38,680 --> 00:06:43,039 Speaker 2: in hand. So you know, there are moments of calm, 123 00:06:43,400 --> 00:06:45,680 Speaker 2: and I really try to appreciate those moments, but more 124 00:06:45,720 --> 00:06:49,520 Speaker 2: often than not, it's like crazy schedules and travel, basketball 125 00:06:49,680 --> 00:06:51,760 Speaker 2: and you know, coordinating all that stuff, and it just 126 00:06:51,760 --> 00:06:55,279 Speaker 2: life feels chaotic. But I mean, just walking in here today, 127 00:06:55,320 --> 00:06:57,840 Speaker 2: for example, my son had froot loops in the back 128 00:06:57,920 --> 00:07:01,120 Speaker 2: seat and he spilled them all over for the back seat. 129 00:07:01,560 --> 00:07:03,200 Speaker 2: And I used to get mad about that stuff, but 130 00:07:03,200 --> 00:07:05,359 Speaker 2: now you realize, like you know, someday you're not going 131 00:07:05,440 --> 00:07:07,000 Speaker 2: to have to clean up their fruit loops anymore. 132 00:07:07,440 --> 00:07:12,000 Speaker 1: Yeah, and you know over here is that when they 133 00:07:12,040 --> 00:07:14,440 Speaker 1: go to college or yeah maybe. 134 00:07:14,280 --> 00:07:16,760 Speaker 2: Never, maybe never, but you know, you realize you you 135 00:07:16,800 --> 00:07:18,960 Speaker 2: serve a purpose greater than yourself, and that's that's what 136 00:07:19,080 --> 00:07:21,320 Speaker 2: you try to take away from this. Stay please keep 137 00:07:21,320 --> 00:07:22,679 Speaker 2: your sanity about this stuff. 138 00:07:23,080 --> 00:07:26,480 Speaker 1: Yeah, it's funny because for me, whenever I succeed at 139 00:07:26,520 --> 00:07:28,600 Speaker 1: like a week of you know, taking them to sports 140 00:07:28,640 --> 00:07:31,400 Speaker 1: and getting everything done, that's when I feel like I've 141 00:07:31,440 --> 00:07:34,120 Speaker 1: made it. That's what I'm like, I am a success. 142 00:07:34,240 --> 00:07:36,880 Speaker 1: Like look at me, you know, ordering the groceries and 143 00:07:36,920 --> 00:07:39,520 Speaker 1: having everything in the fridge and like, you know, getting 144 00:07:39,520 --> 00:07:41,480 Speaker 1: everybody where they need to be on time. Those are 145 00:07:41,520 --> 00:07:42,880 Speaker 1: my most successful days. 146 00:07:42,920 --> 00:07:45,600 Speaker 2: I think I couldn't agree more. And especially the days 147 00:07:45,600 --> 00:07:47,440 Speaker 2: when you can get everybody around the dinner table at 148 00:07:47,480 --> 00:07:50,520 Speaker 2: the same time and you have everyone's focus because again, 149 00:07:50,840 --> 00:07:53,480 Speaker 2: my kids are still young enough. My oldest is twelve now, 150 00:07:53,920 --> 00:07:57,600 Speaker 2: and you realize, like how sleading that that is when 151 00:07:57,640 --> 00:08:00,880 Speaker 2: you can actually accomplish that those types of moments, And 152 00:08:00,880 --> 00:08:04,120 Speaker 2: it makes me just appreciate and respect my parents all 153 00:08:04,160 --> 00:08:05,520 Speaker 2: the more for being able to do that on a 154 00:08:05,560 --> 00:08:07,840 Speaker 2: regular basis. Get me and my sister to sit down 155 00:08:08,240 --> 00:08:11,280 Speaker 2: and have family meals. It's hard to overstate how important 156 00:08:11,600 --> 00:08:13,920 Speaker 2: and how much I appreciate that those types of things. 157 00:08:14,160 --> 00:08:15,600 Speaker 1: And it's harder than it looks. 158 00:08:15,680 --> 00:08:16,640 Speaker 2: Oh yeahs. 159 00:08:17,760 --> 00:08:19,600 Speaker 1: You know, for a long time, it was like, oh, 160 00:08:19,640 --> 00:08:22,040 Speaker 1: we have dinner together every night, and I'd be like, yeah, so. 161 00:08:22,920 --> 00:08:24,920 Speaker 1: But then the kids hit in age when they all 162 00:08:24,920 --> 00:08:28,800 Speaker 1: have activities and sports, and you know, you have activities also, 163 00:08:29,840 --> 00:08:32,600 Speaker 1: and it does get harder. And I am proud of 164 00:08:32,640 --> 00:08:35,640 Speaker 1: myself when we're able to do it. So I completely 165 00:08:35,720 --> 00:08:37,640 Speaker 1: get that. Is your oldest one a boy. 166 00:08:37,600 --> 00:08:40,600 Speaker 2: Or a girl. My oldest is a girl, and I 167 00:08:40,600 --> 00:08:43,600 Speaker 2: always joke around with my wife that she's like a 168 00:08:43,640 --> 00:08:46,480 Speaker 2: starter kit for first time parents because she was just 169 00:08:46,720 --> 00:08:49,120 Speaker 2: so easy compared to the other. 170 00:08:49,320 --> 00:08:51,520 Speaker 1: The trick baby. I have one of those Yes's. 171 00:08:51,160 --> 00:08:53,040 Speaker 2: Something about the oldest. I guess they give you kind 172 00:08:53,040 --> 00:08:56,080 Speaker 2: of like an on ramp into parenting. But yeah, she is, 173 00:08:56,840 --> 00:09:03,080 Speaker 2: you know, great student, really great athletes, very respectful. Could 174 00:09:03,200 --> 00:09:05,600 Speaker 2: have a room a little more clean, But if we're 175 00:09:05,640 --> 00:09:07,400 Speaker 2: going to nitpick, that's my nitpicking. 176 00:09:07,520 --> 00:09:09,320 Speaker 1: My oldest is a thirteen year old girl, and I 177 00:09:09,400 --> 00:09:12,720 Speaker 1: keep waiting for her to be teen angsty and not 178 00:09:12,960 --> 00:09:15,480 Speaker 1: like us. And so far, so good. I mean, you know, 179 00:09:15,520 --> 00:09:17,560 Speaker 1: we'll see how it goes. I'm not, you know, counting 180 00:09:17,559 --> 00:09:21,480 Speaker 1: anything out for the future years. But I was Enoughmaire 181 00:09:21,679 --> 00:09:24,520 Speaker 1: as a teenager, and I keep waiting for her to 182 00:09:24,559 --> 00:09:26,280 Speaker 1: be the same, Like when is she going to like 183 00:09:26,320 --> 00:09:29,559 Speaker 1: get into like blacknail polish and like goth rock or something. 184 00:09:29,600 --> 00:09:33,160 Speaker 1: She's like this bubbly you know, almost fourteen year old 185 00:09:33,160 --> 00:09:34,840 Speaker 1: who likes like Taylor Swift. 186 00:09:34,920 --> 00:09:37,480 Speaker 2: Yes, well, I said twelve. I think my daughter's thirteen, 187 00:09:37,600 --> 00:09:39,800 Speaker 2: thirteen years old. I should do that. I'm doing like 188 00:09:39,840 --> 00:09:42,880 Speaker 2: the the Kamala Harris math. I guess she was born 189 00:09:42,880 --> 00:09:45,720 Speaker 2: in twenty eleven. It's twenty twenty four now, or she 190 00:09:45,760 --> 00:09:49,040 Speaker 2: will be thirteen. So it's all blur. It is all blue. 191 00:09:49,200 --> 00:09:51,680 Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, it's all It's all a blur. It's all 192 00:09:51,720 --> 00:09:55,000 Speaker 1: a very fast moving blur. So if you weren't in TV, 193 00:09:55,360 --> 00:09:57,320 Speaker 1: what would be what would you be doing? What would 194 00:09:57,320 --> 00:09:58,120 Speaker 1: be planned. 195 00:09:57,800 --> 00:09:59,839 Speaker 2: Beca Oh man? You know, if you would have asked 196 00:09:59,880 --> 00:10:02,360 Speaker 2: me I question a long time ago, it might be 197 00:10:02,400 --> 00:10:04,240 Speaker 2: different now. But my answer to the best answer I 198 00:10:04,240 --> 00:10:06,600 Speaker 2: could give you is something with my hands, you know, 199 00:10:07,000 --> 00:10:10,600 Speaker 2: might be in a trade, something like a plumber or electrician. 200 00:10:10,679 --> 00:10:12,079 Speaker 2: You have a couple of those calls come out to 201 00:10:12,120 --> 00:10:14,880 Speaker 2: your house an emergency situation, you really start to value 202 00:10:15,440 --> 00:10:18,840 Speaker 2: people in the trades, either that or doing something with food. 203 00:10:19,040 --> 00:10:21,760 Speaker 2: I think I did work as a cook in a 204 00:10:21,800 --> 00:10:23,320 Speaker 2: restaurant when I was in high school for a brief 205 00:10:23,320 --> 00:10:26,880 Speaker 2: period of time, and it was backbreaking, hard work, especially 206 00:10:26,920 --> 00:10:29,800 Speaker 2: when you work the fry station. But I do love 207 00:10:30,080 --> 00:10:33,880 Speaker 2: to cook, and you know, the it's especially for the family. 208 00:10:34,040 --> 00:10:36,000 Speaker 2: I guess it's different in a work environment, but it 209 00:10:36,080 --> 00:10:39,320 Speaker 2: might be something like that because the enjoyment you see 210 00:10:39,360 --> 00:10:42,520 Speaker 2: when people are enjoying what you cook is a feeling 211 00:10:42,600 --> 00:10:43,440 Speaker 2: it's hard to replicate. 212 00:10:44,640 --> 00:10:46,839 Speaker 1: Yeah, I love that because it's so practical. Those are 213 00:10:46,920 --> 00:10:47,640 Speaker 1: like things. 214 00:10:47,520 --> 00:10:50,559 Speaker 2: People needed for sure, at least with the food and 215 00:10:50,600 --> 00:10:51,520 Speaker 2: neat on there. 216 00:10:53,559 --> 00:10:54,679 Speaker 1: Do you what do you enjoy cooking? 217 00:10:56,200 --> 00:10:59,640 Speaker 2: You know, probably barbecue like most men my age, the 218 00:10:59,679 --> 00:11:03,520 Speaker 2: whole milk, meat or grill or fire. That primal instinct 219 00:11:03,920 --> 00:11:07,160 Speaker 2: to do stuff like that. And then aside from that, 220 00:11:07,240 --> 00:11:10,960 Speaker 2: I love Mexican food, and my oldest daughter and I 221 00:11:11,000 --> 00:11:13,800 Speaker 2: have a little kind of you know, hobby where we 222 00:11:13,840 --> 00:11:16,840 Speaker 2: try to find all these taco stands all over South 223 00:11:16,880 --> 00:11:21,040 Speaker 2: Florida and try the pastor tacos and whatever else they 224 00:11:21,040 --> 00:11:23,320 Speaker 2: have to offer. So there's you know, one of the 225 00:11:23,320 --> 00:11:25,520 Speaker 2: great things is I'm sure you've already discovered about living 226 00:11:25,559 --> 00:11:28,640 Speaker 2: in South Florida is the cultural diversity when it comes 227 00:11:28,640 --> 00:11:32,160 Speaker 2: to food is kind of you know, maybe not as 228 00:11:32,160 --> 00:11:34,679 Speaker 2: good as New York, but it's it's certainly got its 229 00:11:34,679 --> 00:11:36,120 Speaker 2: own thing going for it. 230 00:11:36,800 --> 00:11:38,920 Speaker 1: I'm going to have to get that taco truck map 231 00:11:38,960 --> 00:11:41,680 Speaker 1: from you, because you know, there is a lot of 232 00:11:41,720 --> 00:11:45,880 Speaker 1: cultural diversity here in food. But I, I don't know, 233 00:11:45,920 --> 00:11:47,959 Speaker 1: maybe I just haven't explored enough because I think I 234 00:11:48,400 --> 00:11:51,040 Speaker 1: need to see some more. Especially taco trucks is definitely 235 00:11:51,040 --> 00:11:53,439 Speaker 1: something I feel like I haven't hit enough of. So 236 00:11:53,600 --> 00:11:56,640 Speaker 1: I'm going to get the John Bachman Map of taco 237 00:11:56,720 --> 00:11:57,760 Speaker 1: trucks of South Florida. 238 00:11:57,840 --> 00:12:01,160 Speaker 2: You should sell that, I should. It could be maybe, Yeah, 239 00:12:01,200 --> 00:12:03,199 Speaker 2: we talked. We've actually talked about that, my daughter and I. 240 00:12:03,280 --> 00:12:06,000 Speaker 2: She has her own kind of like you know, twelve 241 00:12:06,080 --> 00:12:09,199 Speaker 2: year old vocabulary for rating these things. I was like, 242 00:12:09,240 --> 00:12:11,160 Speaker 2: you know, we should capitalize on that. 243 00:12:11,280 --> 00:12:16,400 Speaker 1: Awesome. So you talk about cultural issues, you talk about 244 00:12:16,440 --> 00:12:19,079 Speaker 1: political issues on your show. If you had to sum up, 245 00:12:19,120 --> 00:12:23,280 Speaker 1: like what our largest cultural or societal issues are what 246 00:12:23,320 --> 00:12:24,760 Speaker 1: would you say that that would be. 247 00:12:24,760 --> 00:12:28,000 Speaker 2: I would say these things right here. Our phones and 248 00:12:28,280 --> 00:12:31,720 Speaker 2: the way we use our phones. I mean, I remember 249 00:12:31,760 --> 00:12:36,600 Speaker 2: getting my first iPhone, and you know, it's become such 250 00:12:36,640 --> 00:12:39,480 Speaker 2: an integral, integral part of our lives too much. So 251 00:12:39,679 --> 00:12:43,080 Speaker 2: I think we have this cultural trend now where people 252 00:12:43,200 --> 00:12:48,240 Speaker 2: are retreating further and further from actual human interaction. I 253 00:12:48,280 --> 00:12:51,320 Speaker 2: saw a joke yesterday on AX about like, you know, 254 00:12:51,320 --> 00:12:53,400 Speaker 2: who actually picks up the phone to call? I think 255 00:12:53,679 --> 00:12:56,960 Speaker 2: Elon Musk or somebody was writing about that, and how 256 00:12:57,040 --> 00:13:00,640 Speaker 2: you know, texting is the preferred method of unication, and 257 00:13:00,679 --> 00:13:02,880 Speaker 2: I think there is something lost by text when it's 258 00:13:02,880 --> 00:13:05,240 Speaker 2: become a vital part of how I communicate with my 259 00:13:05,280 --> 00:13:08,240 Speaker 2: team here, with my family and everything. And it's certainly 260 00:13:08,320 --> 00:13:11,640 Speaker 2: more convenient. But I think the less we interact on 261 00:13:11,679 --> 00:13:15,640 Speaker 2: a human level, face to face, the worse off we're 262 00:13:15,640 --> 00:13:18,360 Speaker 2: going to be. In the biggest reason for less human interaction, 263 00:13:18,400 --> 00:13:21,520 Speaker 2: I think of those phones and the social media applications 264 00:13:21,520 --> 00:13:25,200 Speaker 2: that we have on these phones. I mean, you just 265 00:13:26,000 --> 00:13:28,920 Speaker 2: it's like a complete retreat from all the advancement we've 266 00:13:28,920 --> 00:13:33,920 Speaker 2: made as a civilization. And until I think people realize 267 00:13:34,040 --> 00:13:36,560 Speaker 2: The analogy you often hear at times is we've got 268 00:13:36,559 --> 00:13:39,800 Speaker 2: to make kind of the cell phone, the smartphone like cigarettes. 269 00:13:39,800 --> 00:13:41,640 Speaker 2: You don't want to ban it, but you don't. You know, 270 00:13:41,679 --> 00:13:44,600 Speaker 2: there's certain places where you just don't smoke a cigarette nowadays, 271 00:13:44,600 --> 00:13:47,840 Speaker 2: and that's accepted by everybody, and that the phone just 272 00:13:47,880 --> 00:13:52,480 Speaker 2: has this unbelievable ability to interrupt any moment that you have, 273 00:13:52,920 --> 00:13:56,200 Speaker 2: you know, to interrupt your own thoughts. If you know 274 00:13:56,240 --> 00:14:00,720 Speaker 2: you're just taking a break from whatever, you're zoning out, 275 00:14:00,880 --> 00:14:03,199 Speaker 2: you know, it just it has the ability to interrupt 276 00:14:03,240 --> 00:14:05,200 Speaker 2: all that stuff and just take you back to this 277 00:14:05,280 --> 00:14:09,080 Speaker 2: kind of death cycle of negative, negative thoughts. And so 278 00:14:09,480 --> 00:14:11,600 Speaker 2: I think as a culture, we've got to get away 279 00:14:12,080 --> 00:14:14,160 Speaker 2: from using our phone so often. It's a it's a 280 00:14:14,160 --> 00:14:15,800 Speaker 2: struggle that I have every week when I get that 281 00:14:15,840 --> 00:14:18,520 Speaker 2: little notification on my screen tape in the week, Like 282 00:14:18,800 --> 00:14:20,840 Speaker 2: one of the things I always try to, you know, 283 00:14:20,920 --> 00:14:22,640 Speaker 2: base my week on it is I got to do better, 284 00:14:22,720 --> 00:14:24,120 Speaker 2: you know, I got to lower the screen time. So 285 00:14:24,120 --> 00:14:26,360 Speaker 2: if I can have consecutive weeks of lower screen time, 286 00:14:26,400 --> 00:14:27,960 Speaker 2: I really feel like I've accomplished something. 287 00:14:28,640 --> 00:14:31,520 Speaker 1: I heard this thing one time regarding texting that if 288 00:14:31,600 --> 00:14:34,600 Speaker 1: texting had come out before phone calls. We would be 289 00:14:34,640 --> 00:14:37,440 Speaker 1: really impressed with phone calls, Like, yeah, just call somebody 290 00:14:37,520 --> 00:14:39,000 Speaker 1: up and just tell them what you need to say. 291 00:14:39,040 --> 00:14:40,840 Speaker 1: You don't need to type anything. It's amazing. 292 00:14:41,000 --> 00:14:42,880 Speaker 2: Yes, it's so true, so true. 293 00:14:43,000 --> 00:14:45,800 Speaker 1: We're going backward fault into texting. I mean, I'm definitely 294 00:14:45,800 --> 00:14:48,080 Speaker 1: more into texting than phone calls. If somebody calls me, 295 00:14:48,120 --> 00:14:50,040 Speaker 1: I'm like, what is happening here? Why? Why is my 296 00:14:50,080 --> 00:14:53,720 Speaker 1: phone ringing? You know, what could they want? Do you 297 00:14:53,720 --> 00:14:56,440 Speaker 1: take social media breaks? No? 298 00:14:56,640 --> 00:14:59,400 Speaker 2: Maybe I should. I do. Try. One of the things 299 00:14:59,440 --> 00:15:01,840 Speaker 2: that I've just in the last six months I've really 300 00:15:01,840 --> 00:15:05,840 Speaker 2: tried to do is not get on my phone on Sundays, 301 00:15:06,120 --> 00:15:09,520 Speaker 2: just you know, try to take as much you know, 302 00:15:09,560 --> 00:15:11,880 Speaker 2: you have to check your phone, especially nowadays, we could 303 00:15:11,880 --> 00:15:14,320 Speaker 2: be a war any moment, and that would, you know, 304 00:15:15,040 --> 00:15:17,960 Speaker 2: definitely change what I was doing in that moment. But 305 00:15:19,000 --> 00:15:22,200 Speaker 2: you just try to take moments, you know, take breaks 306 00:15:22,360 --> 00:15:25,120 Speaker 2: periodically and not be on your phone. And I you know, 307 00:15:25,760 --> 00:15:29,160 Speaker 2: watching other people all the time. When I'm driving to 308 00:15:29,320 --> 00:15:31,280 Speaker 2: work in the morning, I see kids at the bus 309 00:15:31,280 --> 00:15:34,320 Speaker 2: stop and like every single kid is standing around down 310 00:15:34,400 --> 00:15:37,200 Speaker 2: looking their phone, not interacting with each other. Yeah, you know, 311 00:15:37,280 --> 00:15:39,600 Speaker 2: and that's like, you know, I just wonder what they're 312 00:15:40,600 --> 00:15:43,640 Speaker 2: engaging in at that moment, and that's you know, that's 313 00:15:43,720 --> 00:15:45,920 Speaker 2: such a big influence on kids these days. 314 00:15:46,400 --> 00:15:49,640 Speaker 1: Yeah, it's depressing that they can't be bored, like somebody 315 00:15:49,720 --> 00:15:52,440 Speaker 1: I saw this on Instagram, you know, on social media, 316 00:15:52,480 --> 00:15:55,520 Speaker 1: but whatever where you know, kids now have like in 317 00:15:55,800 --> 00:15:58,360 Speaker 1: the car, it'll be on their phones or the TVs 318 00:15:58,400 --> 00:16:01,600 Speaker 1: in the car. Now entertainment and our entertainment when we 319 00:16:01,600 --> 00:16:06,000 Speaker 1: were kids was like watching two rain drops racing which 320 00:16:06,040 --> 00:16:07,200 Speaker 1: one would get to the bottom. 321 00:16:07,440 --> 00:16:09,120 Speaker 2: I saw that same clip where the guy was like 322 00:16:09,280 --> 00:16:11,920 Speaker 2: they had to invent a term for mindfulness like when 323 00:16:11,920 --> 00:16:13,200 Speaker 2: I was a kid, right, that's what he said. We 324 00:16:13,280 --> 00:16:15,640 Speaker 2: didn't have to be mindful. We just watched two you know, 325 00:16:15,760 --> 00:16:18,040 Speaker 2: condensation drip down the window on the bus stop. And 326 00:16:18,080 --> 00:16:20,680 Speaker 2: I felt that because I'd literally been in that moment 327 00:16:20,880 --> 00:16:23,120 Speaker 2: getting on your bus in the morning, nothing to do. 328 00:16:23,280 --> 00:16:25,080 Speaker 2: You don't want to look at your homework, you just 329 00:16:25,080 --> 00:16:27,240 Speaker 2: and so like all you can do is like make 330 00:16:27,320 --> 00:16:29,440 Speaker 2: little you know, I used to make little footprints on 331 00:16:29,480 --> 00:16:31,640 Speaker 2: the windows with my palms, yes, you know, on the 332 00:16:31,680 --> 00:16:35,000 Speaker 2: on the bus stop, and that was like was invigorating 333 00:16:35,040 --> 00:16:35,720 Speaker 2: you know, exciting. 334 00:16:35,800 --> 00:16:37,680 Speaker 1: Yeah, I love those little footprints. I still do those 335 00:16:37,720 --> 00:16:40,200 Speaker 1: on my kids showers whenever they have like condensation, I 336 00:16:40,280 --> 00:16:42,680 Speaker 1: make a little footprint for them, and you know, yeah, 337 00:16:42,680 --> 00:16:45,920 Speaker 1: it's a it's it's really the problem is that they 338 00:16:46,000 --> 00:16:49,760 Speaker 1: expect constant entertainment. And I say they, but I mean us, 339 00:16:49,880 --> 00:16:53,360 Speaker 1: oh totally obviously are just as bad, if not worse. 340 00:16:54,240 --> 00:16:55,920 Speaker 1: But at least when we were kids, or at least 341 00:16:55,920 --> 00:16:58,040 Speaker 1: when I was a kid. I think you're probably younger 342 00:16:58,080 --> 00:17:00,880 Speaker 1: than me, but you know, there was the boredom which 343 00:17:00,960 --> 00:17:04,359 Speaker 1: you just had to live with, and you were bored 344 00:17:04,400 --> 00:17:06,280 Speaker 1: and that was okay, and you read the back of 345 00:17:06,440 --> 00:17:11,359 Speaker 1: you know, product boxes to entertain yourself, or you know, 346 00:17:11,400 --> 00:17:13,520 Speaker 1: maybe even read a book that would be you know 347 00:17:13,560 --> 00:17:17,199 Speaker 1: what you did. And I feel like this generation we 348 00:17:17,320 --> 00:17:19,680 Speaker 1: try to keep our kids. I mean, I'm not saying 349 00:17:19,680 --> 00:17:23,080 Speaker 1: we're perfect. They come home, they're on their iPads. You know, 350 00:17:23,160 --> 00:17:27,280 Speaker 1: it definitely happens, but in restaurants, for example, they don't 351 00:17:27,280 --> 00:17:29,920 Speaker 1: get to use their phones or anything like that. I 352 00:17:30,440 --> 00:17:33,480 Speaker 1: see now on the beach people handing their kids iPads 353 00:17:33,480 --> 00:17:35,720 Speaker 1: and that really kills me. Like you're on a beach, 354 00:17:35,800 --> 00:17:38,159 Speaker 1: you're in South Florid and look how beautiful everything is, 355 00:17:38,200 --> 00:17:40,800 Speaker 1: and you live in this magical place where you're visiting 356 00:17:40,880 --> 00:17:43,960 Speaker 1: and you're on an iPad, and I just I think 357 00:17:43,960 --> 00:17:46,640 Speaker 1: there needs to be some boundaries, not just for kids, 358 00:17:46,640 --> 00:17:48,720 Speaker 1: but for us. I do this thing where I take 359 00:17:48,760 --> 00:17:50,919 Speaker 1: my you know, Twitter off my phone because that's my 360 00:17:51,280 --> 00:17:52,280 Speaker 1: big addiction. 361 00:17:52,040 --> 00:17:55,480 Speaker 2: Is that your oh totally Twitter Instagram now and I 362 00:17:55,520 --> 00:17:59,280 Speaker 2: feel like this pressure to keep up on those two 363 00:17:59,320 --> 00:18:02,119 Speaker 2: social media It's part of my work requirement. You know 364 00:18:02,200 --> 00:18:04,919 Speaker 2: that we use it for promotional purpose. It's part of 365 00:18:04,920 --> 00:18:08,439 Speaker 2: my job. But I also understand it's not real life, 366 00:18:08,600 --> 00:18:10,959 Speaker 2: you know, it's really I just keep telling myself that 367 00:18:11,040 --> 00:18:14,119 Speaker 2: over and over again, and you know, something that I 368 00:18:14,119 --> 00:18:17,160 Speaker 2: had to be conscious about. Just to your point again, 369 00:18:17,200 --> 00:18:18,600 Speaker 2: I want to give my wife a lot of credit 370 00:18:18,600 --> 00:18:20,679 Speaker 2: because she really made the decision when I was at 371 00:18:20,680 --> 00:18:22,840 Speaker 2: work most of the time, to you know, just take 372 00:18:22,880 --> 00:18:25,480 Speaker 2: our kids devices away. It was in the kind of 373 00:18:25,480 --> 00:18:28,439 Speaker 2: the peak of the pandemic. There was fear being just 374 00:18:28,520 --> 00:18:30,720 Speaker 2: thrown at them all the time, and even if we 375 00:18:30,760 --> 00:18:32,679 Speaker 2: had them on kids YouTube, it still seemed like there 376 00:18:32,680 --> 00:18:36,440 Speaker 2: were advertisements seeping in just perpetuating this fear all the time. 377 00:18:36,520 --> 00:18:39,359 Speaker 2: So we just it was like taking pass away pacifiers 378 00:18:39,400 --> 00:18:41,840 Speaker 2: away from our kids too. Very difficult in the short term, 379 00:18:41,840 --> 00:18:44,600 Speaker 2: but you saw the reward and the long term. We 380 00:18:44,840 --> 00:18:47,040 Speaker 2: just kind of We got my twelve year old daughter 381 00:18:47,040 --> 00:18:49,640 Speaker 2: a phone, but there's no social media on it. I mean, 382 00:18:49,680 --> 00:18:52,439 Speaker 2: I don't I think again, going social media is like 383 00:18:52,520 --> 00:18:54,919 Speaker 2: cigarettes too. There's no way a kid should have access 384 00:18:54,960 --> 00:18:57,840 Speaker 2: to social media until their mind is is developed to 385 00:18:57,840 --> 00:19:01,040 Speaker 2: a point where they can understand like really differences between 386 00:19:01,480 --> 00:19:05,720 Speaker 2: you know, fiction and reality, because you know that that images, 387 00:19:06,000 --> 00:19:08,520 Speaker 2: all that stuff that has just pushed on social media. 388 00:19:09,080 --> 00:19:11,960 Speaker 2: I think, you know, the Taylor Swift whole kind of 389 00:19:11,960 --> 00:19:13,800 Speaker 2: thing is part of that, which I have my own 390 00:19:13,840 --> 00:19:16,960 Speaker 2: feelings on, but it's and then it gets perpetuated because 391 00:19:17,560 --> 00:19:20,159 Speaker 2: you know, people that we interact with a lot, some 392 00:19:20,200 --> 00:19:23,000 Speaker 2: of them are just like viscerally angry about this this 393 00:19:23,000 --> 00:19:27,080 Speaker 2: old terrorist Taylor Swift conspiracy theory and things like that. 394 00:19:27,520 --> 00:19:30,000 Speaker 2: So h yeah, yeah, you got to get You've got 395 00:19:30,000 --> 00:19:32,800 Speaker 2: to get these devices. Like you know, I watch myself 396 00:19:32,840 --> 00:19:35,480 Speaker 2: and I'm clearly addicted. And I see my dad, you know, 397 00:19:35,520 --> 00:19:37,880 Speaker 2: like I was in the car the other around Christmas 398 00:19:37,880 --> 00:19:40,920 Speaker 2: time with my dad and my daughter.

My suggestion is 406 00:20:01,640 --> 00:20:04,000 Speaker 1: that when you are on vacation and you're not at 407 00:20:04,040 --> 00:20:05,920 Speaker 1: work and you don't have to be on it, take 408 00:20:05,960 --> 00:20:08,199 Speaker 1: Twitter off your phone. That's what I do. And then 409 00:20:08,240 --> 00:20:10,960 Speaker 1: you come back and you're refreshed and you like everybody again, 410 00:20:11,000 --> 00:20:13,320 Speaker 1: and everybody seems like not as crazy as they were 411 00:20:13,359 --> 00:20:16,440 Speaker 1: when you left, and it's it's a really nice thing 412 00:20:16,520 --> 00:20:18,840 Speaker 1: to just completely And I'm you know, I've said this 413 00:20:18,880 --> 00:20:21,080 Speaker 1: on the on the show before, but I am such 414 00:20:21,119 --> 00:20:22,960 Speaker 1: an addict that when I take it off my phone, 415 00:20:23,000 --> 00:20:25,520 Speaker 1: I'm still like pressing the empty space where it used 416 00:20:25,560 --> 00:20:28,399 Speaker 1: to be several times a day because I just can't, like, 417 00:20:28,560 --> 00:20:32,320 Speaker 1: I'm just my muscle memories, like, oh where's my Twitter app? 418 00:20:33,400 --> 00:20:37,600 Speaker 1: But it's really good and it it clears you up, 419 00:20:37,640 --> 00:20:40,240 Speaker 1: but it also again makes the app more interesting and 420 00:20:40,280 --> 00:20:44,239 Speaker 1: fun again briefly, but still it makes you know it 421 00:20:44,240 --> 00:20:45,320 Speaker 1: makes a good change for you. 422 00:20:45,840 --> 00:20:47,440 Speaker 2: I will try. I'll give it a try. 423 00:20:48,000 --> 00:20:49,880 Speaker 1: Yeah, So what do you what do you think about 424 00:20:49,880 --> 00:20:52,240 Speaker 1: the Taylor swift Where are you? 425 00:20:52,240 --> 00:20:54,800 Speaker 2: You know? I yeah, I think there's been more like 426 00:20:54,920 --> 00:20:59,000 Speaker 2: inkspilled on this relationship and it's almost like destined to fail, 427 00:20:59,080 --> 00:21:01,080 Speaker 2: because how can they ever possibly live up to the 428 00:21:01,119 --> 00:21:04,480 Speaker 2: expectations that have been set for them, you know, based 429 00:21:04,520 --> 00:21:07,480 Speaker 2: on their popularity and all the challenges that come with 430 00:21:07,560 --> 00:21:11,399 Speaker 2: a regular quote unquote relationship. Now they have all the 431 00:21:11,440 --> 00:21:13,919 Speaker 2: pressures of the world and the Swifties and the Chiefs 432 00:21:13,920 --> 00:21:17,359 Speaker 2: fans and the NFL. You know, I went into a 433 00:21:17,400 --> 00:21:20,960 Speaker 2: Sporting Good story yesterday and the only jersey, you know, 434 00:21:21,359 --> 00:21:23,679 Speaker 2: they had on display was Travis Kelsey's jersey, And it 435 00:21:23,760 --> 00:21:25,639 Speaker 2: just shows you, like, we're in Florida and then you know, 436 00:21:26,000 --> 00:21:28,680 Speaker 2: the Super Bowls in Las Vegas. The teams are from 437 00:21:28,680 --> 00:21:31,600 Speaker 2: San Francisco and Kansas City, and this is what is 438 00:21:31,640 --> 00:21:35,480 Speaker 2: you know, being pushed. And I do think though, like 439 00:21:35,560 --> 00:21:37,840 Speaker 2: for all these conservators that are mad or talking about 440 00:21:37,840 --> 00:21:42,480 Speaker 2: this conspiracy theory about the script being written, et cetera, 441 00:21:42,800 --> 00:21:46,600 Speaker 2: like there's a legitimate alternative for conservatives to be happy about, 442 00:21:46,640 --> 00:21:49,480 Speaker 2: and it's this guy brock Purty, the quarterback for the 443 00:21:49,520 --> 00:21:51,119 Speaker 2: San Francisco forty nine ers, And I want to talk 444 00:21:51,160 --> 00:21:53,080 Speaker 2: about this a little bit today on the show. It's 445 00:21:53,119 --> 00:21:56,320 Speaker 2: like this guy is a devout Christian. He is. He 446 00:21:56,400 --> 00:21:59,000 Speaker 2: was a last player selected in the NFL draft and 447 00:21:59,000 --> 00:22:00,800 Speaker 2: I don't remember which year, but they call this guy 448 00:22:00,880 --> 00:22:04,560 Speaker 2: mister irrelevant. He but he worked hard, he put in, 449 00:22:04,640 --> 00:22:07,320 Speaker 2: he paid his dues, and now he's got a chance 450 00:22:07,320 --> 00:22:09,440 Speaker 2: to become a super Bowl champion. And that's like, that's 451 00:22:09,480 --> 00:22:15,000 Speaker 2: a classic American story. So I'm what my message for 452 00:22:15,040 --> 00:22:17,200 Speaker 2: conservatives would be, like, focus on that if you really 453 00:22:17,200 --> 00:22:21,000 Speaker 2: want to walk what you talk like, there's a legitimate storree, 454 00:22:21,640 --> 00:22:26,160 Speaker 2: great storyline, great central character who's doing all the right things, 455 00:22:26,200 --> 00:22:28,040 Speaker 2: and you can talk more about that than you talk 456 00:22:28,119 --> 00:22:33,880 Speaker 2: about you know, Taylor Swift and Travis Kelsey. So there's 457 00:22:33,920 --> 00:22:37,040 Speaker 2: like this, you know, overwhelming desire. And I think again 458 00:22:37,040 --> 00:22:40,440 Speaker 2: this goes back to social media and all the societal 459 00:22:40,800 --> 00:22:43,720 Speaker 2: pressure that kids and adults face these days is just 460 00:22:43,720 --> 00:22:47,199 Speaker 2: to talk about one thing, to get swept up in 461 00:22:47,280 --> 00:22:50,760 Speaker 2: these types of things, and it perpetuates itself and it's 462 00:22:50,800 --> 00:22:54,919 Speaker 2: like not healthy, Like that is not the ideal that 463 00:22:55,040 --> 00:22:57,760 Speaker 2: relationship is the ideal kids or adults should be seeking, 464 00:22:58,000 --> 00:23:01,040 Speaker 2: you know, right, She's like, but take a private plane 465 00:23:01,040 --> 00:23:04,119 Speaker 2: from Tokyo back to the super Bowl. It's like, nobody 466 00:23:04,119 --> 00:23:06,320 Speaker 2: can do that. We can't do that in our daily lives. 467 00:23:06,960 --> 00:23:09,080 Speaker 2: Let them be them, And I'm actually pointing to them. 468 00:23:09,200 --> 00:23:10,959 Speaker 2: I don't know if you saw there's I think it 469 00:23:11,000 --> 00:23:13,560 Speaker 2: was Fomo Capital, which is a Twitter feed. They were saying, 470 00:23:13,600 --> 00:23:16,800 Speaker 2: here's what happens Travis Swift, I mean, Travis Kelsey and 471 00:23:16,800 --> 00:23:18,880 Speaker 2: Taylor Swift get married, they have a bunch of kids. 472 00:23:18,960 --> 00:23:24,280 Speaker 2: It starts a baby boom, China collapses. Yeah, that's that's 473 00:23:24,320 --> 00:23:26,840 Speaker 2: what we should all be rooting for that. Taylor Swift 474 00:23:26,840 --> 00:23:29,560 Speaker 2: and Travis Kelcey have like five kids. They go on 475 00:23:29,600 --> 00:23:32,600 Speaker 2: to understand what it's like to try and bring up 476 00:23:32,680 --> 00:23:35,640 Speaker 2: up the next generation. Taylor Swift and Travis Kelcey both 477 00:23:35,720 --> 00:23:39,159 Speaker 2: have conservative revivals and realize that the nuclear family is 478 00:23:39,200 --> 00:23:41,520 Speaker 2: really what we're missing here in this country. Then and 479 00:23:41,560 --> 00:23:44,280 Speaker 2: then you know, they become like you know, Kirk Cameron 480 00:23:44,280 --> 00:23:46,640 Speaker 2: and whatever. Yes, in the future. 481 00:23:47,320 --> 00:23:49,119 Speaker 1: So I'm a Dallas Cowboys fan, So I don't know 482 00:23:49,160 --> 00:23:50,720 Speaker 1: if I could root for the forty nine ers. 483 00:23:50,800 --> 00:23:53,520 Speaker 2: You might have to. But this, I mean, people say, 484 00:23:53,600 --> 00:23:54,560 Speaker 2: like the future of. 485 00:23:54,520 --> 00:23:56,800 Speaker 1: Humans very bad to us, those forty nine ers. 486 00:23:56,880 --> 00:23:59,040 Speaker 2: Well, the future of humanity is in brock Perty's hands 487 00:23:59,119 --> 00:24:02,719 Speaker 2: unless you want to talk about Taylor Stript and Travis Kelcey. Yeah, 488 00:24:02,800 --> 00:24:04,760 Speaker 2: and that goes out to conservatis who can't get over 489 00:24:04,800 --> 00:24:05,120 Speaker 2: it either. 490 00:24:05,600 --> 00:24:08,560 Speaker 1: Right. The thing is, I don't think of them as 491 00:24:09,359 --> 00:24:13,960 Speaker 1: so I mean, especially Travis kelce like the Kansas City Chiefs, 492 00:24:13,960 --> 00:24:16,679 Speaker 1: the whole conspiracy theory where like, oh, they're being you know, 493 00:24:16,760 --> 00:24:18,879 Speaker 1: put up to win because of Taylor Swift. Like have 494 00:24:19,000 --> 00:24:21,520 Speaker 1: you seen the last few years of football. They've won 495 00:24:21,840 --> 00:24:24,639 Speaker 1: once or twice without her and it's not about her. 496 00:24:24,680 --> 00:24:26,840 Speaker 2: But I mean I am on a couple of minds 497 00:24:26,840 --> 00:24:29,680 Speaker 2: of this because and not to get too far down 498 00:24:29,680 --> 00:24:33,360 Speaker 2: in the weeds on football, but Todd Monkin, the offensive 499 00:24:33,400 --> 00:24:36,200 Speaker 2: coordinator for the Ravens, you know, he was the University 500 00:24:36,200 --> 00:24:38,280 Speaker 2: of Georgia where I went to school offensive coordinator for 501 00:24:38,359 --> 00:24:40,879 Speaker 2: the last two years when they won the national championships. 502 00:24:40,880 --> 00:24:44,879 Speaker 2: Guys like a mastermind, and he runs all these running 503 00:24:44,880 --> 00:24:48,720 Speaker 2: plays into the Kansas City defense, which is like kind 504 00:24:48,720 --> 00:24:50,960 Speaker 2: of goes against logic, and so that I'm thinking to 505 00:24:51,000 --> 00:24:53,240 Speaker 2: myself because I'm always like, you know, being in this 506 00:24:53,240 --> 00:24:55,840 Speaker 2: stuff out like, well, maybe maybe that's the script that 507 00:24:55,880 --> 00:24:57,920 Speaker 2: they were talking about, because why would he do those 508 00:24:57,960 --> 00:25:00,159 Speaker 2: type of things? Or Dan Campbell? Why would he why 509 00:25:00,200 --> 00:25:02,480 Speaker 2: would he not kick the field goal? Like maybe that's 510 00:25:02,480 --> 00:25:05,240 Speaker 2: where they pressure to do something like that, and that's. 511 00:25:05,119 --> 00:25:06,600 Speaker 1: They're all kings. 512 00:25:08,960 --> 00:25:11,480 Speaker 2: I got bills to pay, I got carpool, I got basketball. 513 00:25:11,600 --> 00:25:14,040 Speaker 2: Let's move on with real life and the grocery shopping. 514 00:25:14,680 --> 00:25:19,280 Speaker 1: Yes, exactly.
