The
unfiltered
union
podcast.
50.
You
turned
50.
50Th
episode.
Oh,
gotcha.
I'm
Linds.
I
would
hope
that
you
know
how
old
I
am.
We've
been
married
for
76
years.
And
you're
35.
I
said
I'm
Lin's.
Oh,
this
is
already
starting
off
very
nice.
I'm
Russ.
Thanks.
There
we
go.
Okay.
50th
episode.
Yeah.
I
can't
believe
it.
Does
that
include
when
we
tried
this
back
in
26?
2016?
Yes.
Okay.
Wow.
Well,
the
thing,
though
is
we
have
a
lot
more.
We
have
a
bunch
that
were
awful.
I'm
not
saying
the
content
was
awful.
No,
the
quality
was
awful
because
we
had
no
idea
what
we
were
doing,
and
we
just
did
it.
And
we
didn't
have
a
studio
like
we
have
today.
We
didn't.
This
ain't
really
a
studio.
Look
at
our
background
decorations.
You
did
such
a
good
job.
Pair
of
headphones.
It
looks
so
good.
Oh,
my
gosh.
I
mean,
that's.
That's
a
good
feat.
We've
been
doing
it
for
50
episodes,
like.
And
this
go
around
has
been
over
a
year
and
three
months,
I
think.
I
think
we
started
in
March
of
last
year.
Wow.
I
didn't
realize
it
had
been
that
long.
So
it's
been
over
a
year.
But
we've
had
guests
come
on
this
go
round.
Yeah.
That's
a
new
thing
for
us,
is
doing
the
guest
thing.
Absolutely.
On.
But
I
think
our
core
is
typically
when
we
do
episodes
where
it's
you
and
me,
right.
We
talk
about,
don't
go
to
hr.
I'm
gonna
use
my
hand,
where
you
and
I
talk
about
what's
happening
in
the
world
or
with
our.
With
us.
But
it
always
comes
back
to,
we
can
have
our
own
opinions
and
still
be
married
at
the
end
of
the
day.
And
I
get
mad.
Right?
Well,
I
mean,
we
do
get
mad.
Not
at
each
other,
though.
It's.
Well,
we
get
over
it.
Right.
You
don't
have
to
end
your
marriage
or
end
your
friendship
or
end
your
friendship
online
just
because
you
don't
agree
with
somebody
for
sure.
I
don't
know
why
you
would.
Well,
people
do,
and
they're
crazy.
I
don't
get
it.
Let's
kick
it
off
with
our
kiddo.
Got
her
ears
pierced
this
weekend.
Super
random.
She
asked
this
week.
We've
been
asking
her
ever
since
she
was
born.
We
asked
her
as
an
infant,
do
you
want
your
ears
pierced?
She
said,
yeah,
you
know,
after
she
shat
herself.
But
no,
we've
been
asking
her
for
a
long
time,
and
she
never
wanted
to
because
she's
Afraid.
Of
course,
that's
scary
to
kids.
Needles.
Well,
we
don't
lie
to
her.
Right.
We.
We
show
her
videos
of
other
people
doing
it.
We
explain
the
process.
I
never
want
my
child
to
be
uneducated
about
a
decision
she's
about
to
make.
Right.
For
sure.
And
she.
She
finally
came
up
to
us
this
week
and
said,
I
want
to
go
get
my
ears
pierced.
And
we're
like,
we'll
take
you
this
weekend.
And
we
went.
And
I
was
going
to
bet
money
that
she
was
going
to
chicken
out
at
the
last
second,
and
she
didn't.
It
was
the
sushi
she
went
for.
Oh,
yeah.
You
can
buy
that
kid
off
with
sushi.
It's
the
weirdest
thing
I've
ever
seen,
but
you
can
definitely
buy
this
kid
office.
She's
nine
and
loves
sushi.
And
we're
not
talking
just
California
roll.
We're
talking
raw
fish
on
top
of
a
chunk
of
rice.
Yep.
Tuna
sushi.
Yeah,
tuna
sushi.
She
loves
tuna.
Raw
tuna
or
salmon.
She's
a
big
salmon
fan.
Yeah.
But
we
went
to
the
mall,
and
we
did
the
Claire's
route.
You
know,
hate
us
if
you
want,
but
I
think
for
me,
that's
where
I
got
all
of
my
piercings
done.
I've
never
had
an
issue.
So
that's
the
route
she
wanted
to
go
as
well,
because
she
wanted
to
buy
additional
earrings
while
we
were
there.
Well.
And
they
were
very
caring
about
how
she
felt.
We
said,
if
you're
gonna
do
it,
you
have
to
do
it
right.
You
have
to
get
both
pierced.
And
they
said,
oh,
don't
worry
about
that,
because
we're
gonna
do
two.
We'll
have
two
people
doing
it.
Which
was
super
nice
because
not
just
her
chickening
out,
but
getting
one
done
and
being
like,
ow,
that
hurt.
Done.
Yeah.
I'm
not
doing
the
other
one.
Which
would
suck.
Right?
Because
she
wants
both.
Well,
they.
They
brought
a
second
person
in,
and
they
did.
They
did
everything
at
once.
Yep.
And
it's.
It
went
really
well.
There
was
no
tears.
She
didn't
even
cry.
I
know.
I
was
stronger
than
me.
No,
she.
She
bossed
it,
let's
just
say.
But
while
we
were
there,
we.
Her
thing
is
also
escalators,
but
as
long
as
she
gets
to
ride
a
couple
escalators,
she's
happy
at
the
mall.
Other
than
Claire's,
the
trip
was
free.
I
mean,
food,
but
you
have
to
eat.
The
trip
was
free.
She
loves
escalators,
and
that's
free.
Yeah.
Go
to
Macy's
and
ride
the
escalator
up
and
down,
and
you're
good
to
go.
She
was
Happy.
But
what
surprised
me
is
she
and
my
daughter.
She
and
my
daughter.
My
daughter
and
I.
Goodness.
We
go
to
the.
Okay.
We
go
to
the
mall
very
sparingly.
Typically
it's
like
to
return
stuff
like
from
Christmas
or
to
just
get
out
of
the
house
for
a
bit,
ride
the
escalators,
get
sushi.
But
other
than
that,
we
don't
venture
out
to
the
mall
very
often.
And
most
of
the
time
it
has
been
pretty.
Not
empty.
But
there
aren't
many
people
there
today.
It
was
bumping.
Oh
yeah,
it
was
packed.
That
food
court,
you
had
to
be
lucky
to
find
a
seat.
Right.
Which
was
good.
I
like
seeing
that.
Because
people,
even
though
we're.
The
economy
is
not
really
good.
People
are
still.
I
guess
they're
trying,
you
know,
trying
to
go
out
and
about
and
do
things
with
their
families
because
Expensive
for
sure.
Claire's
cost
us.
What
was
it,
$85
just
for
the
piercing.
Yep.
I
mean,
we
did
upgrade
the
earring,
but
we
wanted
to
make
sure
she
got.
What
is
it
called?
Like
gold.
Gold.
Because
it's
anti
allergen
or
whatever.
Right.
It's
supposed
to
be
more
for
sensitive
ears.
But
there's
lots
of
debate
as
to
what
Claire's
provides.
But
it
all
came
down
to
her
choice
as
to
where
and
what
to
do
after.
But
ultimately
the
fact
that
the
mall
was
so
packed,
I
feel
like
there
were
a
lot
of
people
there.
And
I
keep
hearing
that
malls
are
dying.
Right.
Like
malls
are
becoming
a
thing
of
the
past.
They
were
big
when
they
first
came
out
in
the
70s,
80s.
And
then
throughout
my
childhood,
I
was
at
the
mall
every
weekend.
Oh
my
God.
Not
just
your
childhood.
When
we
started
dating
at.
You
were
14.
14,
I
was
15.
We're
at
the
mall
every
week.
I
remember
calling
you
on
Saturdays.
I'll
call
you
right
back.
I'm
at
the
mall.
I'm
like,
how
the
do
you
have
so
much
money?
We
didn't.
It
was
just
the
thing
to
do
something
to
do.
Kind
of
like
when
I
take
our
kiddo
out,
it's
you
know,
go,
go
out,
have
lunch
and.
Right.
We
didn't
have
escalators
at
our
mall
in
Virginia.
But
anyways,
so.
So
the
idea
that
malls
are
dying,
I'm
like
that.
That
doesn't
seem
like
that's
proof.
I
don't.
Yeah.
Today
kind
of
changed
my
mind.
So
what
I
think
about
that
is
maybe
that
high
rent
type
deal
is
dying.
Like,
I
couldn't
imagine
the
rent
at
a
mall,
but
a
store
owner,
maybe
they
just
couldn't
afford.
I
don't
know.
I.
I
keep
spinning
it
around
in
circles
with
this
because
I
feel
like
most
businesses
can't
afford
that
massive
high
mall
rent,
I
would
assume,
especially
in
the
economy
the
way
it
is
right
now.
So
is
that
what
they're
talking
about?
Malls
dying?
Because
the
people
that
own
the
malls
are
like,
I'm
not
making
any
money
anymore
because
people
don't
want
to
pay
this
rent.
Well,
I
feel
like
that
kind
of
goes
back
and
forth
with
the
idea
of
COVID
Right.
And
remote
work
that
people
want
still
today.
Want
jobs
of
remote
work.
But
companies
are
like,
we've
spent
billions
of
dollars
on
infrastructure.
You're
bringing
your
asses
back.
Yeah,
well,
that's
not.
I
don't
know.
That's
not
good.
I
don't
think
that.
I
think
it
should
be
a
choice.
Well,
I
agree,
but
I'm
just
saying,
like
when
you
think
of
the
idea
of
infrastructure,
if
a
mall
already
is
built
right.
And
you
essentially
are
renting
out
to
tenants.
So
you're
saying
that
high
rent
is
a
thing
of
the
past?
I
don't
know.
I'm
just
guessing.
I
don't
know
if
that's
what
they
mean.
Because
what
I
saw
today,
malls
ain't
going
nowhere.
That
place
was
freaking
packed.
Yeah.
And
people
were
in
every
single
store
we
walked
by.
Claire's
was
packed.
Yeah.
Was
there
a
tax
refund?
Could
it
be
tax
refund?
No,
I
thought
that.
I
don't
even
think
it's
tax
free
weekend.
Like
I'm
trying
to
think.
I
know
that
because
of
the
hurricane
stuff
down
here
in
Florida.
They
do
like
a
tax
free
month
or
something.
I
thought.
But
that's
on
like
generators
and
I
forget
what
else.
No,
no,
but
speaking
of
things
being
expensive,
you
told
me
today
about
Amazon.
Yeah,
Amazon,
Alexa.
Not
in
here.
Okay,
they
are.
From
what
I
read,
they're
planning
on
charging
something
for
the
next
generation
of
Alexa,
which
is
all
this
generative
AI,
your
chat
GPTs,
your
large
language
model
type
assistance,
not
just
Alexa,
turn
my
lights
off
type.
It's
like
you
can
converse
with
it.
Things
of
that
nature
they're
supposedly
they're
talking
about,
there's
going
to
be
a
price
tag
for
it.
Now,
some
people
have
said
five
bucks
and
some
people
have
said
all
the
way
up
to
10
bucks.
I
feel
like
Amazon
fumbled
so
hard
on
this
generative
AI
stuff.
It
is
mindboggling.
They
have.
I'm
pretty
sure
they're
the
number
one
home
speaker
type
deal.
You
know,
Amazon,
Alexa
type,
shit,
they're
the
number
one
retailer
for
that.
You
have
literally
millions
of
these
units
in
people's
houses.
Yeah.
You
should
have
been
the
first
company
out
there
to
release
some
kind
of
generative
AI
on
those
things.
Well,
it
sounds
like
they're
still
going
to
be.
Yeah,
but
they're
late
now.
It's
like
it,
they're
late
and
they're
not
doing
it.
Like
charging
money
for
it
is
nuts.
But
if
they're
trying
to
put
a
device
in
your
house,
whole
new
device,
it's
an
Apple
play,
right?
No,
they're
not
doing
whole.
It's
not
going
to
need
whole
new
devices.
It's
all
server
based.
Oh,
all
your
devices
that
you
have.
That's
what
I'm
saying.
Everybody
that
has
an
Alexa,
I'm
pretty
sure
has
the
capability
of
this
new
large
language
model.
So
you're
like
upgrading
your
software
on
your
existing
Echo.
It
sends
all
your
queries
to
the
cloud.
Yeah,
it
sends
all
your
queries
to
the
cloud.
So
it
can
work
on
essentially
anything.
So
the,
the
fact
that
they
are.
So
it's
essentially
software
as
a
service,
Right.
That
you
can
put
on
any
device.
Well,
you
can
put.
It's,
it's
going
to
be
a
pay
for
upgrade
for
your
existing
Alexa
devices.
Okay.
So
I
guess
I
don't
understand
what
the
benefit
would
be.
Well,
you
could
ask
it
a
lot
of
different
things
and
converse
with
it.
Like
say,
hey,
my
wife's
birthday's
tomorrow.
Give
me
10
good
ideas
for
a
birthday
party
that
are
sounds
like
you've
done
this.
That
are
local
to
blah
blah
blah
and
it
will
spit
it
out.
It's
smart.
It's
a
really
good
freaking
idea.
But
why
aren't
they?
They
should
be
moving
a
lot
faster
than
they
are.
Everybody
else
is.
When
I
think
of
the
AI
ChatGPT,
those
type
things
like,
those
are
more
for
what
I
want
to
say.
Like
when
you
ask
Alexa
a
question,
I
don't
want
to
make
it
go
off
in
our
house.
If
you
ask
it
a
question,
then
your
response
that
you
get
back,
it's
already
searching
the
web.
Right,
Right.
So
to
me,
the
ChatGPT
becomes
more
about
like
deep
dive
prompts,
I
guess.
So
if
you're
doing
a
research
paper,
like
it
can
help
you
with
the
research
paper.
If
you're
doing
just
how
do
you
fix
an
Excel
formula?
I've
done
that.
Smart
way
to
do
it
though.
Well,
I
know,
but
like
putting
that
on
your
Echo
dot,
we'll
call
them
in
your
house,
which
is
an
Amazon
product.
What
benefit
do
you
have
of
that
versus
what
it
already
does?
Well,
I
think
part
of
it
is
like
what
I
said.
You
could
ask
questions
like
that.
You
could
say,
hey,
give
me
seven
different
action
movies
or
something.
Like
that
from
different
eras
that
I
can
add
to
my
playlist.
Anything,
really.
It'll
integrate
with
the,
you
know,
your
music
software,
make
a
playlist
for
Tay
Taylor.
I
am
starting
to
feel
like
such
an
old
person.
Yeah.
I'm
not
even
kidding.
Like,
how
are
you
gonna
use
that
technology?
Like,
that's
how
I
feel.
Yeah.
But
it's,
it's
got
a
lot.
I
don't
even,
I
don't
even
know
how
much,
like,
what
else
the
Alexa
can
do
and,
you
know,
the
next
gen
Alexa
can
do
inside
of
your
house.
But
it's
mostly,
I
would
assume
it's
mostly
things
that
you
can
already
do
with
search
and
things
like
that.
But
it,
Instead
of
typing,
you
just
talk.
You
converse
in
natural
language.
Instead
of,
you
know,
going
to
and
say,
find
me
five
things
to.
Do
tonight
in
Tampa,
I
guess
I
just,
I'm
old.
We're
in
our.
We
said
it
at
the
beginning.
Right.
We're
in
our
mid-30s,
and
I
just
feel
like
we're
getting
so
old
with
how
all
this
technology
is
being
used
and
implemented
and
trying
to,
you
know,
it's
all
about
smart
homes.
A
few
years
ago.
Right.
So
the,
the
echo
dots
were
a
thing.
That's,
that's
why
I
think
they're
fumbling
hard.
Because
they,
they
were
pre.
They
were
like
your
smart
home
hub,
and
now
they're
trying
to
move
it
into
this
generative
AI
stuff.
And
it's
like,
you
should
have
done
that
a
year
ago,
maybe.
Probably
true.
But
I
don't
know.
I
just.
What,
what
difference?
It
doesn't
feel
like
a
difference
that.
From
what
it
does
now.
It's
smarter.
It's
fine.
Instead
of,
instead
of.
Because,
you
know,
half
the
time
you
say,
alexa,
tell
me
who,
who
was
born
last
month.
You
know
what
famous
people
were
born
last
month.
Half
the
time
it's
like
dir.
Well,
it's
a
contributor.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Right.
Gave
this
response,
but
now
it's
like
real
time
searching
the
web,
pulling
in
data.
It's,
it's,
it's
really
cool.
Yeah.
But
I
personally
would
not
pay
10
bucks
or
even
5
bucks
a
month
for
that.
I'm
not
doing
it.
I
use
my
phone.
Yeah.
At
this
point.
Because
I
guess
that's
your
point.
Right.
They've
missed
the
mark.
Yeah.
And
you
just
will
use
your
phone.
Right.
Because
it's
readily
available.
Exactly.
My.
Everybody's
got
a
phone.
Most
people
have.
And
look,
Apple's
doing
Apple
Intelligence,
which
cracks
me
up
so
bad.
I
just,
again,
I
just
feel
so.
Yeah,
it's
just,
that's
the
thing
now
it's
a
AI
arms
race
and
we'll
all.
Yeah,
but
they're
the
only
ones
charging
for
it
so
far.
Amazon?
Yeah.
No,
they're
all
char.
Well,
Apple's
not
going
to
charge
for
it.
charges
for
Gemini
Advanced
and
Chat
GPT
has
Chat
GPT
plus
Plan
is.
Copilot
built
into
Microsoft?
It
is,
but
you
have
to
pay
for
it.
Like
if
you
have
Microsoft
Copilot
for
your
business.
I
think
it's
an
extra
cost
per
user.
I
think
it's
actually
pretty
expensive
too.
It's
like
30
bucks
a
month
per
user.
Geez.
I
think.
Well,
guess
what
else
is
going
up
in
price?
Life.
That's
a
good
answer.
Spotify.
Yeah.
That's
bullshit,
man.
I'm
about
sick
of
them.
We
use
Spotify
a
lot.
I
love
it.
Even
our
kiddo
has
it.
She's
got
the
Spotify
kids
version.
I
mean,
we
have
it
for
our.
Family
and
we
have
a
family
plan.
Right.
And
it's
got.
I
love
it
because
it
has
all
of
our,
like,
songs
ever.
Right?
Ever.
That's
the
issue.
And
I.
Well,
I
can't
imagine
not
having
that.
So
I
have
found
services
that
will
transfer
your
playlist
and
your,
like,
songs
to
another
service.
So
one
thing
you
need
to
know
about
Russ.
Technology
is
his
thing,
right?
You're
all
about
technology
and
you
love
finding
the
new
best
thing.
Be
nerd.
Yeah,
but
when
we
switch
profiles
over
and
over
again.
I've
lost
things
in
the
past.
It's
not
my
fault.
No,
I'm
not
saying
it
is.
I'm
not
saying
it's
your
fault.
I'm
saying
that
I've
lost
things.
I
don't
want
to
lose
my,
like,
songs.
I
know.
That's
why
we
do
the
services
that
allow
the
transfer.
I've
done
it
with
Apple
Music
before.
Or
we
just
bite
the
bullet
and
we
keep
Spotify.
I.
I
want
to
switch
out
of
principle
right
now.
I
understand.
Because
it's
a
constant.
It's.
It
hasn't
stayed
the
same
price.
It
seems
like
they
increase
it
once
a
year
now.
I
don't.
I
feel
like
everybody's
doing
that,
though.
Yeah,
but
not
only
Spotify,
Netflix
is
doing
it.
You've
got
Amazon
Prime.
You've
got
like,
all
of
these
subscription
services
are
just
going
up.
I
don't
understand
why.
It's
like,
are
you
not
meeting
your.
Your
subscriber
count?
I
don't
know,
but
I
can't
imagine
that's
true.
And,
and,
but
they
wonder
why
people
are
cutting
the
cord
and
not
having
cable
tv.
It's
like
that
stuff
is
so
freaking
expensive
and
we
are
being
subscription
to
death.
Right?
Everything's
a
subscription
anymore.
Yep.
It's
like
rent.
You
can't.
If
you.
If
you
cancel
Spotify,
boom,
your
music
library
is
gone.
Yep.
That's
crap.
You
own
nothing.
I.
I
would
be
very
sad.
I
would
probably
slip.
Deep
dark
depression.
No,
I'm
just
kidding.
It's
just
weird
though,
that
that's
how
everything
is
now.
Even
gaming.
Right?
Like
that.
Yeah,
you
said
that
before.
You
don't
own
games
anymore.
You
don't
own
games.
There
was
a
game
that
just.
I
can't
remember
it
came
out
a
couple
years
ago
or
whatever,
but
they
just
closed
down
the
servers.
It's
like,
okay,
then
let
me
play
it.
Single
player.
No,
it
requires
an
online
connection
to
the
server
to
play.
So
you
can't
even
play
that
game
anymore.
At
all.
Even
if
you
want
to
just
play
it
by
yourself,
you
cannot
play
it
even
though
you
bought
it.
That's
sad.
It's
a
bunch
of
crap.
I
remember
going
to
the
freaking
store,
buying
a
disc,
sticking
it
in
the
console,
and
I
could
play
that
thing
whenever
I
wanted.
Right.
Unplug
the
Internet
from
it
and
I
can
still
play
it.
Not
anymore.
Sad.
I
don't
like
it.
Kind
of
freaky
to
me.
You
don't
own
anything
anymore.
You
own
nothing.
I
think
the
World.
Wef.
What
is
it?
World
Environmental
Federation,
something
like
that?
Water
Environmental
Federation.
No,
I
think
it's
World.
Okay,
regardless.
Anyway,
Wef.
I
think
they
said
something
like
that.
They
had
a
quote
on
their
website.
In
the
future,
you
will
own
nothing
and
you'll
be
happy.
That's
a
very
philosophical
thing
to
say.
Because
if
you
think
about
it,
it
means.
Does
it
mean
less
responsibility
or
more
responsibility?
Who
has
the
responsibility?
There's
a
lot
to
unpack
there.
You
own
nothing.
That's
not
good,
but.
I
know,
but
is
it
a
shifting
of
responsibility?
Is
it,
I
have
responsibility
or
no
more
responsibility
because
I
don't
own
it?
It's
like
the
idea
of
who
is
responsible.
Where
does
that
go?
No,
it
means
if
you
stop
paying
your
car.
I
understand
fundamentally
what
it
means.
Messed
up,
but
philosophically.
But
then
again,
as
of
right
now,
you
technically
don't
really
own
anything,
even
if
you
pay
your
freaking
house
off.
Are
you.
I
mean,
depending
on
what
state
you
live
in.
But
if
you
pay
your
car
off,
you
still
pay
taxes,
right?
Why?
Lord
knows.
It's.
It's
not
right.
Back
to
Spotify.
So,
yeah,
all
the
services
are
doing
it.
I
personally
can't
imagine
not
having
my
liked
songs.
I
understand
their
services,
but
I
can't
imagine
not
having
Spotify.
Well,
I
like
Spotify's
interface
a
lot
and
that's
my
biggest
issue
is
I've
tried
Apple
Music,
wasn't
much
of
a
fan
of
their
interface,
but
it's
something
I
can
work
through.
Can
you?
And
YouTube
music
is
actually.
They've
got
a
family
plan
and
it
actually
includes
ad
free
YouTube.
So
I
was
thinking,
you
know,
if
I
have
to
pay
that,
it's
going
to
be
like
21
bucks
a
month
for
us,
I
think
because
of
taxes.
Why
not
just
pay
an
extra
dollar
and
have
YouTube
ad
free
included?
Because
we
watch
a
lot
of
YouTube.
We
will
talk
about
the
budgetary
standpoint
of
that.
Maybe
off
camera,
but
no,
it's
not
a
fight.
It's
not
a
fight.
Spotify
is
probably
gonna
be
the
same
cost
as
what
you're
just
talking
about.
So
you're
talking
about
on
principle
again?
I'm
talking
about
on
principle.
And
you
get
more
bang
for
your
buck
with
YouTube
music.
Ad
free
YouTube
is
the
shit.
Fair.
I
want
to
shift
gears.
Not
totally,
but
a
little
bit
here.
The
idea
of
music,
right.
You
and
I
have
talked
about
this
a
lot.
We
enjoy
music
in
general.
Like
if
you
look
at
our
liked
songs,
we
do
it
every
year.
Right.
One
of
our
podcasts
is.
Let's
go
through
our.
What
do
they
call
it?
The
Wrap
up.
Yeah,
Spotify
Wrap
Up.
Which
we
won't
get
anymore
because
we're
canceling
it.
Stop
it.
So
we
do
the
Wrap
up
every
year
and
our
playlists
are
pretty
diverse.
I
mean,
yours
leans
a
little
heavy
on
our
nine
year
old
because
she
does
use
yours
to
play
music
throughout
the
house.
It's
just
what
it's
tied
to.
But
anyways,
mine
is
very
diverse,
wouldn't
you
say?
Yeah,
you're
weird.
I
like
it
all.
I'm
talking
classical
music,
jazz
all
the
way
through.
Country,
rock,
rap,
spoons.
I
do
like
folk.
But
Charlie
Marks
is
good.
He
really
is.
So
when
we
think
about
country
music,
you
and
I
have
talked
about
this
a
lot,
but
I
know
exactly
who.
You'Re
going
to
talk
about
too.
No,
it
doesn't
have
to
be
just
that
one
individual
artist.
I
want
to
talk
about
it
as
a
broadcast
landscape.
Country
music
to
me
is
having
an
identity
crisis.
Country.
There's
no
such
thing
as
country
music
anymore,
right.
I
feel
like
we
have
very
small
subcategories
of
country
music
now
and
there's
not
one
true
sound
of
country
music
anymore.
Maybe
that's
not
a
bad
thing.
But
when
I
hear
songs.
By
who?
By
Hardy,
which
is
your
new
favorite
artist
right
now.
Even
our
kiddo
likes
Hardy.
Yeah,
yeah.
But
when
you
hear
songs
by
Hardy
or
when
I
do,
I
don't
automatically
think
country.
I
never
think
country.
Okay.
There's
a
couple
that
may
sound.
But
they.
They
even
don't
sound
country.
It's
like
more
of
that
poppy.
And
he
talks
about
redneck
life.
He
talks
about,
you
know,
country
living.
But
it's
not
country.
The
actual
sounds
are
not
country.
There
is
no,
like,
regular
guitar.
It
is
an
electric
guitar.
And
it's
metal,
right?
It
is
metal.
He
growls.
Yeah.
Like,
there.
Is
there
double
bass.
Because
I
feel
like
there
should
be.
I
think
there
is
in
some
of
his
stuff.
Right.
So
to
me,
that's
not
country
is
more.
If
we're
going
to
call
him
country,
he's
country
rock
or
country
metal.
I
saw
somebody
call
him
Tennessee
New
metal.
Okay.
I
can
see
new
Nashville
new
metal.
Okay.
Is
what
they
said.
I
guess.
I
don't
know.
He's
not
the
only
one,
though.
He's
not
the
only
one
in
country.
Brian
isn't
country.
He
is
pop,
right?
Yeah.
And
you
have.
Shaboozy
is
a
new
one.
Just
because
you
sing
about
country
stuff
doesn't
make
you
country.
Right.
Like
hunting
and
fishing
and
loving
every
day.
That's
not
country.
And
I'm
not
taking
away
from
the
fact
that
he
is
from
the
south,
he's
from
Georgia.
Like,
he
is
a
country
boy.
Okay,
fine.
But
your
music,
like,
if
we
go
back
to
the
roots
of
country.
Dolly
Parton.
Yeah.
You've
got
all
the
other
names
are
blanking
on
me
right
now.
But
you've
got
people
from
that
generation
where
country
really
came
from,
right?
Yep.
That's
not
this.
And
that's.
Okay.
Can
you
call
someone,
like,
what
if
Eminem
started
rapping
about
living
in
the
South?
That's
not
Detroit.
I'm
just
saying.
I'm
just
saying.
But
that's.
That's
kind
of
what's
happening,
though,
right?
And
like,
Shaboozi
is
another
example.
Shaboozi
is
country
pop.
Right.
Like
all
of
his
music,
he
sure
is
talking
about
things
in
country
life,
but
the
sound,
right.
Is
pop.
How
is
he
talking
about
country
life?
He
lives
in
Wood
or
he's
from
Woodbridge.
Well,
I
mean,
we're
from
Virginia,
and
I'm
not
country.
Well,
a
lot
of
people
say
that
Virginia
is
the
country.
I'm
like,
which
part?
Yeah.
Not.
Not
D.C.
area.
No.
Which
Woodbridge
is
in.
But
to
the.
And
the
last
one
that
I'll
bring
up
is
Chuck
Morris.
This
is
a.
This
is
a
new
name
to
me.
He
was
on
my
Spotify
radio
list
of
new
artists.
To
listen
to.
You
almost
said
Chuck
Norris
Morris,
but.
He
was
actually
rapping
in
a
country
song.
Okay.
And
I'm
like,
again,
fine.
Country
rap,
maybe.
But
if
we
go
back
to
the
roots
of
what
country
was
and
is,
then
you
would
see
that
it's
not
this.
I
just
don't.
I
don't.
Country
isn't.
There's
no
such
thing
as
country
anymore.
That's
what
it
feels
like,
honestly.
And
a.
That's
kind
of
sad.
Didn't
Beyonce
just
do
a
country
album?
Well,
again,
she's.
She
is
from
Texas.
She.
She
is
from.
I
think
it's
Houston.
And
she
has
a
background
that
I
believe
many
would
say
is
a
country
background.
So,
sure
that
that's
who
you.
You
know,
if
that's
who
you
are.
But
the
sound
of
the
song,
which
is
Texas
hold'em,
I
think
is
the
song.
But
anyways,
I've
said
it
many
times.
I'm
not
a
huge
fan
anyways.
But
she.
That
song
has
more
of
a
pop
sound.
That's
all
of
it.
And
that's.
Okay.
So
it's
country
pop.
Yeah.
So
I
don't
think
what
country
music
was.
Exists
anymore.
It
doesn't.
And
that's
kind
of
sad.
Yeah,
I
agree.
But
I
still
like
Hardy.
I
mean,
I
love
Shaboozi.
I
like
the
Chuck
Morris
song.
I
like
all
the
Hardy
songs
that
you've
been
listening
to.
Do
you
like
the
Beyonce
song?
I
do.
It's
catchy.
Do
you
like
it?
I
do.
It's
catchy.
I
haven't
even
listened
to
it,
and
I
don't
plan
on
it.
Not
your
genre.
I
get
it.
But
it's.
It
is
a
very
catchy
song.
A
lot
of
her
music
is
catchy.
Well,
no,
that's
not
true.
I
do
listen
to
country
now
because
I
like
Hardy.
Get
out.
Just
leave.
It
doesn't
make
sense.
It's
so
weird.
But
to
double
down
on
country
here,
let's
stick
with
the
south,
right?
So
I've
been
watching
on
Netflix
the
new
season
of
Dallas
Cowboys
Cheerleaders.
It's
an
awesome
show.
I
love
that
show.
I
watched
it
back
when
it
was
on
cmt.
I.
I
have
a
dance
background.
I
used
to
dance,
so
I
love
it.
I
like
watching
the
auditions
and.
Oh,
I
like
watching
the
auditions.
I
like
seeing
them
perform.
I.
I
really
enjoy
that
show.
And
one
of
the
things
they
said
on
the
show
really
just
caught
my
interest,
though.
They,
as
in
the
Dallas
Cowboy
Cheerleaders.
I'm
just
gonna
say
specific
to
them
because
it
was
on
that
show.
We're
saying
that
they
have
a
very
low
Salary.
Meaning
they
get
paid.
Meaning
they
get
paid
as
much
as
a
Chick
Fil.
A
worker.
So
I'm
assuming
that
means
minimum
wage.
Right.
I
don't
see
how
they
can
expect
more.
So
the
way
it
was
explained
in
the
show
is
they
are
their
own
business
unit.
They
bring
in
their
own
funds,
their
own
money.
Because
they
sell
Barbies,
they
sell
calendars,
they
sell
uniforms,
go
to
events.
Right.
They
go
to
events,
make
appearances,
they
get
paid.
So
that
makes
sense.
Right?
Their
own
business
unit.
But
I
can't
imagine
that
business
unit
making
so
much
money
that
they
could
afford
to
pay
these
dancers
more
than
that.
I
don't
either.
They.
They
don't
exist
without
football.
True.
And
I
know,
okay,
there.
There
may
be
some
people
that
go
to
the
football
game
to
watch
them.
That's
fine.
But
people.
Most
people
at
a
football
game
are
there
to
watch
football.
Yep.
And
that's.
They
are
part
of
the
experience.
Right.
For
sure.
But
that's
why
the
football
players
make
millions
and
they
don't.
They're
a
sideshow.
I'm
not
just.
I'm
not
insulting
any
of
them.
They
have
skills.
Right.
If
you
go
to
a
concert,
there
is
the
main
event.
Right.
And
there
are
opening
acts.
Right.
They're
an
opening
act.
Right.
It's
the
same
with
the
WNBA
and
all
that
stuff.
It's
like
if
you
want
more
money,
you
need
to
go
out
there
and
get
more
people
to
show
up.
To
show
up
to
pay
for
your
stuff.
Right?
Yeah.
All
that.
You.
You
need
more.
More
people
to
show
up
to
your
games.
Because
I
don't
know
what's
the
Dallas
guy?
I
think
it
was
like
39,
000
people
can
fit
in
the
Cowboys
stadium
or
something
like
that.
Yeah,
more
than
that.
Because
they
can
fit.
They
said
it
on
the
show.
They
could
fit
five
Astrodomes
inside
of
the
Dallas
Cowboys
stadium.
Okay.
So
I
don't
know.
I
don't
know
what
the
number
is,
but
it's
huge.
I'm
just
saying
you've
got
X
amount
of
people
that
go
there
to
see
the
football
players
buying
tickets,
buying
merch,
buying
food.
But
then
when
you
swap
it
over
in
obviously
different
arenas,
but
if
you
swap
it
over
to
the
wnba,
they're
not
filling
stands.
They're
just
not.
Right.
And
when
it's
not
as
popular
as
the
NBA,
it's
not.
So
people
complaining
about
a
business
that
isn't
paying
them
more
doesn't
make
sense
to
me.
It's
still
a
business.
Yep.
Still
has
to
make
profit.
Yeah.
At
the
end
of
the
day,
a.
Football
team
is
a
business.
A
basketball
team
Is
a
business,
how
can
I
pay
you
more
than
what
we're
making?
Right.
It
makes
no
sense.
Yep.
No,
I
agree.
I.
In
the
amount
of
work
that
they
do
out
in
their
community,
like
the
outreach
that
they're
doing,
like,
they
do
a
lot,
it
seems,
for
their
Dallas
community,
and
I'm
not
trying
to
negate
that,
but
when
you
look
at
their
business
unit,
how
much
they
bring
in
their
net
revenue,
Right.
And
then
they
have
to
subtract
all
of
their
liabilities,
which
is
payroll,
I'm
sure
that
is
actually
probably
taking
up
a
good
chunk
of
the
revenue.
And
then
whatever's
left
is
profit.
Are
they
self
sufficient?
Yes.
I
see.
That's
cool.
Yeah,
they
are
self
sufficient.
But
to
your
point,
they
are
the
opening
act.
They
are
part
of
the
show,
Right.
They
are
not
the
main
event.
Yeah.
I
mean,
if
they
want
to
make
more
money,
they
should
go
out
and
do
events
by
themselves.
Well,
like
think
of
the
Rockettes,
right?
Do
a
whole
show,
right?
Go
do
parades,
go
do
sell.
How
much
the
Rockettes
get
paid?
I
don't
know.
I
don't
know.
I'm
just
saying
though,
to
make
more
money,
you
have
to
do
more
events,
not
eight
games
a
year.
Yep.
Well.
And
one
of
the
things
they
also
brought
up
in
the
show
is
the
Dallas
Cowboy
cheerleaders
have
to
be
in
the
community.
Right.
They
have
to
be
presenting
themselves
in
a
way
that
they're
America's
sweethearts
and
they
all
seem
to
do
that
really
well.
However,
there's
a
lot
of
control
there
by
the
Dallas
Cowboys
brand,
if
you
will,
as
to
what
they're
involved
in.
Right.
Rightfully
so.
Yeah.
I
mean,
they're
Dallas
Cowboy
cheerleaders.
Right.
They
can't
fraternize
or
date
any
of
the
football
players.
Right.
That's
one
of
the
rules.
Well,
I
also
have
a
personal
friend,
real
life.
Real
life
scenario
situation,
who
posted
something
on
her
social
media
that
she
did
amazing
with
the
writing.
Right.
It
was
very
professionally
written.
It
was
on
her
specific
page.
And
the
company
that
she
worked
for
did
not
agree
with
it.
Took
offense
to
it.
So
the
idea
that
a
company
that
you
work
for,
organization
you
work
for,
can
control
those
things
or
have
a
say
in
it
even.
Right.
Seems
like
a
lot.
Yeah,
it
doesn't
make
a
lot
of
sense
to
me.
A
little
overstepping
there,
but
I
mean.
Especially
if
you're
in.
You're
not
really
in
a
public
facing
position.
Well,
that's
my
question
to
you.
Do
you
think
companies
should
be
able
to
have
an
opinion
on
what
you
post
on
social
media
or
what
you're
involved
in?
Who
you
date.
Oh,
I
stumped
him.
I
don't
know.
I'm
trying
to
think
because
I
can
see
it
going
both
ways.
It's
the
job
dependent.
If
you
are
a
public
facing
person,
like
you're
the
mayor
of
something
and
you
know
you
got
busted
dating
your
assistant
or
something
like
that,
you're
probably
going
to
get
in.
Maybe.
Unless
you're
on
Both
Unmarried
and
it's
a.
Okay,
say
it's
a.
Say
it's
a
extramarital
situation.
Yeah.
Say
it's
something
that's.
It's
frowned
upon
in
this
establishment.
You're
going
to
get
in
trouble.
Yeah.
But
I
don't
know.
I
don't,
I
don't.
It's
strange
to
me.
I
don't
own
a
business.
Right.
But
I
could
also
see
where
if
I
did
own
a
business
and
somebody
was
out
there
and
they
were
clearly
associated
with
my
business
being
a.
I
don't
know.
I
don't
know.
I
just
feel
like
I'd.
I'd
probably
can
them.
Well,
and
that's
my
right
as
a
business
owner.
True.
And
that's
your.
Okay.
It's
your
right
to
post
what
you
want,
but
it's
also
my
right
to
not
like
what
you
post
and
ask
you
to
take
it
down.
And
if
you
don't
like
it,
then
I
could
let
you
go
or
vice.
Versa,
you
can
leave.
Right.
Yeah.
Right.
Right.
Everyone
has
choices
in
the
situation.
No
matter,
I
guess,
in
the
specific
situation
and
scenario
with
my
friend,
like
what
she
posted
about
to
me,
it
had
no
harm,
no
foul
on
anything
that
had
to
do
with
where
she
was
working,
so.
Sounds
more
like
an
excuse.
Agreed.
It
sounds
like
they
were
looking
to
some
looking
for
something
to
complain
about
with
her
and
they
found
something
and.
But
she,
she
did
what
she
felt
was
best
in
that
situation.
She
took
down
her
post
and
left
it
at
that,
you
know,
moved
on
essentially
for
sure.
But
ultimately
that
damages
the
relationship.
Unless.
Yeah.
And
that's
when
you
go.
Right.
Because
it's
like,
all
right,
you
guys
are
gonna
like
stick
your
nose
in
all
my
business.
Right?
I'm
not
here.
I'm
not
working
right
now.
Then
it's
your
choice
to
leave.
Well,
on
top
of
that,
it's
almost
like
it
was
one
of
her
values.
I'm
just
going
to
say
it.
It
was
about
Pride
Month.
She
posted
something
about
Pride
Month
and
the
company
didn't
agree
with
it
and
essentially
said
that
she
shouldn't
be
voicing
those
things
on
social
media
and
see
what.
Right.
That's
none
of
your
business.
No.
And
that
has
nothing
to
do
with
any.
Anything
like,
that's
not
disparaging
to
anybody.
Right.
That
has
nothing
to
do
with
anything.
Yeah,
see,
that's
different.
What
I'm
thinking,
I'm
thinking
like,
dude,
you're
going
out
in
public
and
you're
bashing
the
company.
No.
Yeah.
You're
vandalizing.
Nothing
to
do
with
the
company,
but
it's
like
an
alignment
of
values.
Wasn't
there.
So
for
her,
she.
She
left
eventually.
But
when
she
posted
that,
they
asked
her
to
take
it
down.
And
I
think
right
there
is
what
breaks
the
relationship.
Like,
we
do
not
have
aligned
values.
No.
So
I
cannot
be
here.
See,
and
that's
the.
That.
That's
the
beauty
of
the
free
market,
though,
is
you
can
take
yourself
elsewhere.
Now,
that's
easier
said
than
done,
for
sure.
But
try
to
find
something
else,
because
that's
messed
up.
Things
like
that
shouldn't.
You
should
not
be
judged
about
posts
like
that.
Right
now.
People
are
going
to
disagree
with
you.
Everybody
disagrees
about
something.
But
to
get
reprimanded
about
Pride
Month,
really?
Right.
That's
a
little
weird.
Yeah,
it's
a
little
much.
It's
like,
that
is
truly
none
of
your
business.
Like,
what?
Would
they
have
said
anything
if
she.
Said,
happy
fourth
of
July?
No,
I'm
happy.
I'm
straight.
Right.
Would
they
have
said
anything?
Well,
probably
not.
I
mean,
she.
She
is
an
ally
to
that
community.
Not
that
she's,
you
know,
in
one
of
the
represented.
Right,
I
understand.
Yeah.
But
my
point
is.
My
point
is,
though,
is.
Would
they
have
jumped
her
shit
for
saying
the
opposite?
Right.
I
feel
like
they
wouldn't
have
said
anything.
Right.
And
that's
strange.
It's
like,
dude,
okay,
if
you
don't
want
to
see
what
I'm
posting,
then
don't
read
it.
Especially
things
like
that.
And
if
it's
not
about
your
company.
Right.
But
like
I
said,
unfortunately,
or
fortunately,
it
can
go
both
ways,
depending
on
the
situation,
they
have
the
right
to
remove
her,
because
that's
sad.
It's
a
free
country.
And
it's
a
free
country
for
them,
too.
Yep.
The
owners
of
that
company
can
say,
you
know,
I
don't
like
that.
When
it
becomes
a
values
thing,
though.
Like,
it's
not
even
just
talking
the
company.
It's
a
values
thing.
And
our
company,
the
company
and
she
did
not
align.
Like,
you
made
that
very
clear.
It's
time
for
me
to
go.
Right.
Clearly
it's
time
for
me
to
go.
That's
messed
up,
though.
I
don't
like
that.
And
I
don't.
I.
It's
messed
up
because
you.
If
you
think
about
it,
there's
no
real
good
way
to
solve
these
kind
of
problems.
Nope.
Because
if
you
say,
well,
companies
shouldn't
be
able
to
fire
you
for
that.
Well,
then
that
snowballs
into
this
huge
cluster.
It's
like,
well,
you're
taking
away
the
freedom
of
the
owner
of
the
company
or
you're
taking
the
freedom
away
from
your
friend.
Right.
She's
not
allowed
to
do
free
speech.
And
it's
like,
well,
yeah,
she
is,
but
that
doesn't
mean
me
as
the
owner
of
the
company,
have
to
agree.
And
I'm
unfortunately.
Unfortunately.
And
for
that
specific
scenario.
Right.
And
I'm
not
either
side.
I'm
not.
I
understand
disclosing
either
side
or,
or
whatever,
but
it's.
It's
kind
of
the
slippery
slope.
It
is
a
very
slippery
slope.
And
a
segue
from
slippery
slope.
I
don't
know
if
I
like
segue
from
slippery
slope.
Louisiana
just
passed
a
law
to
post
the.
Whoa.
That
has
nothing
to
do
with
the
slippery.
Yes,
it
does.
Okay,
now
let
me
get
there.
Louisiana
just
passed
a
law
to
post
the
Ten
Commandments
in
all
school
classrooms.
Was
this
voted
on
by
the
people?
I
don't
know.
Good
talk.
They.
But
I'm
just
saying
they
just
passed
the
law,
so
they're
going
to.
They
are
going
to
post
the
Ten
Commandments
in
classrooms.
What
do
you
think
about
this?
So,
first
initial
thought,
was
it
voted
on
by
the
people?
If
it
was
voted
on
by
the
people,
to
me,
that
is
what
a
majority
of
people
have
voted
for.
Have
voice.
Voiced.
Voice.
Voice
that
they
want.
So
it
should
move
forward.
Caveat
to
that,
though,
is
if
individuals
who
are
not
of
that
faith
are.
Don't
believe
this
should
continue,
they
have
the
right
to
challenge
it.
You
can
take
it
to
the
Louisiana
Supreme
Court.
Or
do
you
say,
I
want
my
religious
text
posted
on
the
walls
in
all
schools?
They
could
very
well
do
that,
too.
My
issue,
it's
a
First
Amendment
issue.
The
government
isn't
supposed
to
promote
or
align
themselves
with
any
religion.
Freedom
of
religion.
Yep.
All
religions
are
free.
Right.
So
they're
doing.
They're
aligning
themselves.
That's.
That
is
a
government
agency
or
a
state
government
aligning
themselves
with
a
religion.
I'm
a
Christian,
and
I
think
this
is.
I,
I'm
not
going
to
disagree.
My
caveat
here
is
if
the
people.
Voted
on
it,
the
First
Amendment
is
very
clear
that
the
government
shall
not.
I
understand.
But
if
the
people
voted
on
it
and
that's
what
they
want,
and
that's
what
lawmakers
in
that
state
said.
Okay.
People
said,
yes,
we're
going
to
pass
the
law,
then
our
Judicial
system
needs
to
get
involved
and
say
whether
or
not
it's
constitutional.
That
is
a
constitutional
government.
Yeah.
And
it's
not,
in
my
opinion.
It
is
not
constitutional
because
your
state
government
is
aligning
itself
with
the
religion.
And
I
don't
go
to
Louisiana
and
defend
them.
And
I
don't
think
that's.
That's
right.
There's
a
separation
of
church
and
state.
Yep.
And
you're
clearly
not
separating.
We
need
to
add
another
one
at
this
point.
We
need
to
have
a
separate
separation
of
church
and
state
as
well
as
a
separation
of
state
and
social
policy.
Yeah,
I
agree.
We
need
complete
separation
of
religion
and
social
policy
from
our
government.
For
sure.
It
is
insane
how
much
they
are
trying
to
control
and
be
involved
in.
I'm
on
a
soapbox
now.
Let
me
come
back
down.
Well,
the.
So
what
the
first
commandment
is
about
God.
You
won't
believe
in
another
God,
but
this
God.
Right.
That
is
against
other
children
who
are
of
other
faiths.
Correct.
I
understand
that.
Like
I
said,
I
believe
in
the
Ten
Commandments
because
I'm
a
Christian.
Oh,
I've
got
something
to
say
about
that.
However,
to
all
these
people
that
are
over
there
that
don't
believe
in
Christianity
or
Jesus
and
things
like
that,
it's
like
this.
How
does
that
make
them
feel?
I'm
getting
so
excited
about
this
conversation.
Okay,
go.
Okay.
So
on
the
Chosen,
the
new
season
came
out
and
the
episode,
I
can't
remember
which
episode
it
is,
but
Jesus
is
explaining
to
his
disciples
that
the
Ten
Commandments,
yes,
are
the
laws
of
Moses.
They
are
very
important,
but
they
do
not
trump
anything
that
Jesus
came
on
this
earth
to
do.
We
are
Christians.
We've
already
said
that.
Believe
in
Jesus.
Big
baby
Jesus.
Him
saying
that
like
the
example
was.
But
we're
supposed
to
honor
our
mother
and
father.
And
Jesus
says,
you.
You
can
honor
your
mother
and
father,
but
not
before
or
above
me.
Right?
Yes.
So,
yes,
you
can
put
the
Ten
Commandments
in
school
if
that's
what
people
voted
on.
But
the
judicial
system
should
be
getting
involved
because
Jesus
said
the
Ten
Commandments
do
not
come
above
him.
It's
just
strange,
though,
how.
I
don't
think
that
made
any
sense,
what
I
just
said.
But
it's
strange
how,
because
a
lot
of
the
people
that
are
supporters
of
this
will
get
super
mad
if
another
religion
said,
well,
we
want
ours
on
the
wall,
too.
True
rules
for
me,
but
not
for
the.
It's
like,
no,
no,
no,
no.
That's
why
you
don't
put
any
of
that
in
school
at
all.
Yep.
And
that's
a
home
thing.
And
A
personal
quest
to
go
on
and
learn
about.
Yep.
It's
not
a
school
thing.
Right.
School's
not
there
to
teach
you
a
religion.
And
that
actually
really
does
make
me
kind
of
angry
because
that
is
not
the
place
for
that.
Agreed.
I
think.
But
it's
also
not
the
place
for
a
lot
of
stuff.
It's
not
the
place
for
social
policy.
Exactly.
You
teach
me
math.
Yep.
You
teach
me
the
history
and
you
teach
me
science
in
English
and
then
you
send
me
home.
Yep.
That
was
the
weirdest
face
I've
ever
seen.
It
went
away.
Could
you
move?
But
yeah,
I
just,
I.
It's.
Schools
are
turning
into
indoctrination
stations
when.
I
feel
like
people
would
argue
with
you
on
what
you
just
said
about
teach
me
those
basic
fundamentals
and
send
me
home.
Because
a
lot
of
kids
aren't
getting
that
at
home,
Aren't
getting
the
social
training,
aren't
getting
the
exposure
to
all
of
these
other
things
that
goes
through
life.
It's
like.
But
that's
a
home
problem.
Yeah.
That's
not
a
state
issue.
Right.
You
don't,
you
don't
then
blanket
say,
okay,
everybody,
every
kid
that
goes
to
public
school
now
has
to
learn
about
all
these
social
issues
and
all
these
religious
issues
and
all.
No.
Right.
That's
separate.
That
is
a
home
thing.
Yep.
And
if
it's
not
at
home,
they'll
learn
it.
Yep.
Kids
are
freaking
smart,
man.
Ours
is.
She
catches
up
on
stuff
and
we're.
Like,
oh,
if
they
have
screens,
they'll
figure
it
out,
I
promise.
Yeah.
It's
just
wild
though,
that
they're
thinking
that
this
is
a
good
idea.
I
just,
like
I
said,
I'm
a
Christian
person.
I,
I
don't
think
school,
public
schools,
a
state
run
thing
or
a
government
run
thing
should
be
involved
in
religion
or
social
issues.
For
sure.
Sure.
So
I
had
a
dream
the
other
night.
Oh,
God.
Did
I
get
punched
when
you
woke
up?
No.
I
am
a
very
vivid
dreamer.
I
have
been
that
way
since,
honestly,
as
long
as
I
can
remember.
Yeah.
You've
sat
up
in
the
bed
and.
Typed,
I
used
to
work
at
a
hotel.
And
yes,
I
was
checking
in,
whatever.
We
called
him
a
guest.
Thank
you.
A
guest
to
the
hotel.
I
sat
up
and
I
was,
yeah.
Like,
damn,
you
should,
you
should
call
them
up
and
get
overtime
checking
people
in
from
the
house.
That
was
one
of
my
first,
like,
big
girl
jobs.
And
it
was
very
stressful.
But
most
recently,
like,
how
detailed
do
you
remember
things
from
your
dreams?
Because
rarely,
literally,
I
had
to
look
this
up.
I
had
a
dream
about
an
address,
a
full
address.
Don't
know
what
city,
state
or
zip
I
was
in,
but
it
was
4755
Moshell.
I
can't
remember
if
it
was
Drive
Court
street,
but
something.
Did
you
look
it
up?
I
did.
It
doesn't
exist.
Okay,
good.
It
doesn't
exist.
But
it
was
the
strangest
thing
that
it
was
in
my
head
when
I
woke
up
and
I
had
to.
I
had
to.
I
had
to
look
it
up.
I
had
to.
I
don't
think
I've
ever
been
able
to
remember
that
much
about
my
dreams.
Oh
my
gosh.
Like,
it
was
insane
that
an
address
stuck
in
my
head.
It's
kind
of
weird,
right?
Yeah,
a
little
crazy.
Oh,
you
almost
didn't
answer.
And
I
was
going
to
congratulate
you,
but
okay.
Have
you
heard
about
the
Hawk
tua
girl?
I
did.
I
don't
know
how
you
couldn't
have
heard
about
Hawk
to
a
girl.
That's
how
you
should
have
asked
me.
Have
you
not
heard
about
the
Hawk
to
a
girl?
Huh?
Yeah,
she's
very
popular
right
now.
Yeah,
she's
a.
She's
a
living
meme.
Yeah.
How
would
you.
I
don't
even
know
what
to
say
about
it,
to
be
honest
with
you.
Like,
I
thought
people
are
dogging
her
like,
her
dad's
gonna
be
so
proud.
It's
like
she
honestly,
she
was
being
funny
and
it
was
funny.
Yeah,
I
thought
that
was
funny
as.
And
everybody's
like,
oh,
the
hug
to
a
girl's
dad.
It's
like,
you
know,
I'm
like,
but
it's
just
being
funny,
man.
In
all
of
the
music
that's
out
there
today,
there
are
work
wap.
For
example.
Well,
and
how
many
girls
are.
And
dudes
are
on
only
fans
and
all
that.
Selling
access
to
their
Hawk
tuas.
Hawk
tuas.
But
it's
just
weird
though.
It's
like,
I
don't
know,
you
guys
are
dogging
this
girl
about
being
freaking.
I
thought
it
was
hilarious,
to
be
honest
with
you.
But
being
really
funny.
But
who
actually
does
that
sound?
I
mean,
I've
never
heard
somebody.
If
you
hawk
to
it
me,
I
would
be
pissed
because
that's
disrespectful.
Oh,
God.
That's
Lugian.
Right?
That's
what
I
thought
too.
Like,
she's
talking
about
a
loogie.
That's.
That's.
That's
not
like
it.
Just
a
friendly.
That's
nasty.
You're
about
to
become
your
own
little
meme.
That's
okay.
Immortalized.
I'm
just
saying
that's
disrespectful.
No
hock
tooling
over
here.
That's.
That's
Vile.
I've
got
a
final
thought
for
you.
Final?
Yeah,
Podcast
over.
Before
it's
over,
do
you
hug
with
your
eyes
open
or
closed?
God,
I
don't
know.
That's
a
weird
question.
So
going
back
to
the
Dallas
Cowboy
cheerleaders,
they
all
hug
a
lot
in
all
of
those
episodes.
And
some
of
the
girls
have
their
eyes
open,
some
of
them
have
them
closed.
And
I'm
like,
oh,
no,
what
do
I
do?
I
feel
like
my
eyes
are
open.
I
feel
like.
Yeah,
I
feel
like
my
eyes
are
open
because
I'm
always
looking
out
for,
like,
ninjas
in
the
woods
and.
Ninjas
in
the
woods
when
you're
hugging
somebody
in
the
house.
Weird
stray
cats
out
here
in
Florida.
You
hug
our
daughter
before
she
goes
to
school.
Looking
all
over.
Where's
our
cat
Benny?
Yeah,
I'm
always
on
high
alert.
God,
I'm
serious.
I'm
terrified.
So
now
I'm
gonna
be
very
conscious
as
to
whether
my
eyes
are
open
or
closed.
You're
gonna
just
do
it?
Like,
I'm
both
gonna
watch
out
for
the
ninjas.
All
right,
so
we
have
swapped
hosts
again.
Oh,
we
went
to.
We
are
now
on.
Let
me
just.
Let
me
just
back
it
up
here.
Yeah,
do
that.
To
manage
a
podcast,
it
takes
a
lot
of
tools,
right?
You
were
very
good
at
it.
Yeah,
we
had
a
Patreon,
we
had
a
website,
and
then
we
had
a
host.
Two
or
three
separate
tools,
and
they
all
cost
money
and
they
aren't
cheap.
Well,
Substack
is
all
three
of
those
tools
in
one.
So
we've
got
a
website
through
Substack,
and
now
we
have
our
Patreon
membership.
It's
not
really
a
Patreon
membership
anymore,
but
that's
through
Substack
too,
and
they
host
our
podcast
and
video
episodes.
Please,
please
sign
up.
No,
no,
you
don't
have
to
pay
us,
but
sign
up
for
our
newsletter.
It
helps
us
kind
of
raise
up
in
the
Substack
rankings.
It's
kind
of
nice.
And
you
get.
You
can
sign
up
for
free.
It'll
still
send
you
our
weekly
or
bi
weekly
updates
and
episodes,
and
we're
also
going
to
start
posting
some
blog
type
stuff
there
too,
because
it's
kind
of
fun,
you
know
what
I'm
saying?
But
we're
also.
This
is
the
thing.
We're
gonna
do
some
specials.
Yeah.
VIP
or
paid
subscriber
only
episodes,
to
kind
of
entice
you
into
joining.
Giving
us
some.
Join
us.
Yeah.
What
did
you
want
to
call
the.
The
VIP

I
don't
remember.
Unfiltered
Heathens
or
something
like
that.
No.
What
you
lied
to
me.
Free
or
free
opinions?
I
don't
know.
It's.
It's
still
on
the
whiteboard.
The
Heathens
were
better.
Thanks.
My
first
idea
was
better.
Okay,
gotcha.
Love
