00:00:03.399 --> 00:00:05.519
Hello everyone, and thank you for tuning in too. Episode
3
00:00:05.599 --> 00:00:08.080
number three hundred and twenty seven. We are three middle
4
00:00:08.119 --> 00:00:09.759
class guys of you in the middle of America and
5
00:00:09.759 --> 00:00:13.199
middle chapters of our lives with cultural points of view
6
00:00:13.960 --> 00:00:18.000
somewhere in the middle. In this episode, Hey, it's my birthday,
7
00:00:18.440 --> 00:00:21.960
and whatever I want to call vegetables is vegetables. We
8
00:00:22.000 --> 00:00:24.160
talk a little bit about some things white women say.
9
00:00:24.559 --> 00:00:26.879
Corey finally makes it to the fourth season and has
10
00:00:26.920 --> 00:00:29.399
a bad time, and we talk about some things that
11
00:00:29.440 --> 00:00:31.960
we're streaming. We think you're gonna love this episode.
12
00:00:32.920 --> 00:00:38.759
Oh, for the love, sorry, just clear my mountaine hole.
13
00:00:42.399 --> 00:00:44.880
I got my phone hole clean today. That's where you
14
00:00:44.960 --> 00:00:46.560
keep it.
15
00:00:49.960 --> 00:00:53.560
You're so cerebral and you're so developed and e Loong.
16
00:01:04.280 --> 00:01:06.719
From the Middle after I don't want to miss anything.
17
00:01:07.640 --> 00:01:10.959
I don't want to miss a thing. The good stuff
18
00:01:11.000 --> 00:01:14.439
really happens before we hit record. Unfortunately for you all
19
00:01:15.159 --> 00:01:20.120
listeners know, they're like, we assumed as much.
20
00:01:22.640 --> 00:01:24.640
It must be before they hit record.
21
00:01:24.920 --> 00:01:29.040
That's that's the comedy portion of the comedy and culture
22
00:01:29.680 --> 00:01:32.120
all happens before we hit the record button.
23
00:01:32.680 --> 00:01:36.280
We made it already made an acknowledgment before the record
24
00:01:36.359 --> 00:01:40.719
button about Corey's new gear that he's wearing but just
25
00:01:41.439 --> 00:01:46.079
looking pretty sweet and I getting paid by Mercedes and Medidas.
26
00:01:46.799 --> 00:01:49.359
I did some work for one of these companies this week,
27
00:01:49.480 --> 00:01:51.200
and so it felt fitting to wear it.
28
00:01:51.959 --> 00:01:55.519
Cool. What do you think is the point with some
29
00:01:55.560 --> 00:02:00.840
of those jerseys where they go, that's enough done, put enough,
30
00:02:01.120 --> 00:02:02.480
put enough logos on them.
31
00:02:03.040 --> 00:02:05.400
I mean, for a couple million dollars, we could squeeze
32
00:02:05.400 --> 00:02:07.799
one more in. I think that's the real answer.
33
00:02:08.639 --> 00:02:11.280
What I do appreciate is when they at least make
34
00:02:11.439 --> 00:02:12.840
the logos all one.
35
00:02:12.759 --> 00:02:15.400
Color, right, Like, if they try to cap all.
36
00:02:15.319 --> 00:02:18.360
These companies' colors, it would be yeah, too much. So
37
00:02:18.400 --> 00:02:20.400
if they reverse it out and put it in white
38
00:02:20.520 --> 00:02:21.960
or whatever, it makes a lot of sense.
39
00:02:22.039 --> 00:02:22.240
Yeah.
40
00:02:22.280 --> 00:02:25.479
I imagine if somebody's paying, they'll find a room.
41
00:02:25.800 --> 00:02:26.199
Yeah.
42
00:02:26.280 --> 00:02:29.039
I appreciate that same thing about strip malls, by the way,
43
00:02:29.319 --> 00:02:34.439
that they have obviously some kind of mandated thing for
44
00:02:34.520 --> 00:02:36.599
the businesses in the strip mall that hey, when you
45
00:02:36.599 --> 00:02:39.919
put a sign up, it has to meet these specifications,
46
00:02:39.919 --> 00:02:42.199
and it all looks, it all looks cohesive.
47
00:02:42.280 --> 00:02:43.719
We like a cohesive look.
48
00:02:43.879 --> 00:02:46.280
Yeah. Yeah, make it look like it belongs to here
49
00:02:46.360 --> 00:02:49.280
kind of situation. I'm a fan. I'm a fan of it.
50
00:02:49.319 --> 00:02:49.919
I notice it.
51
00:02:50.759 --> 00:02:52.919
How are you guys doing? What's what's been going on?
52
00:02:53.080 --> 00:02:58.080
We're recording a little late this week. Travel schedules and
53
00:02:58.560 --> 00:03:05.080
family priorities. We're more important. That's that's how priorities work,
54
00:03:07.159 --> 00:03:10.280
So we're recording a little late. Thank you for being patient, middlers.
55
00:03:10.319 --> 00:03:12.719
Have you had a good week, guys? What's going on?
56
00:03:12.800 --> 00:03:13.960
Do you have any stories?
57
00:03:15.840 --> 00:03:19.560
Dylan? How's your week? Buddy good? I don't know if
58
00:03:19.560 --> 00:03:21.599
I'm supposed to say. It was my birthday this week,
59
00:03:21.800 --> 00:03:25.360
so happy birthday to me. I had, I celebrated. Still
60
00:03:25.439 --> 00:03:26.439
not as old as you guys.
61
00:03:26.960 --> 00:03:29.759
Well, we were going to bring it up, Dylan, but
62
00:03:30.120 --> 00:03:33.360
you know, since ruined it just not fast enough, I guess,
63
00:03:33.439 --> 00:03:33.639
thank you.
64
00:03:33.719 --> 00:03:36.639
Yeah, I know, I said, not as old as you
65
00:03:36.639 --> 00:03:39.400
guys yet, that's not how math works with ages. But
66
00:03:40.879 --> 00:03:43.879
a year older, not quite in my forties yet, so
67
00:03:44.400 --> 00:03:47.159
just slow burn until we hit that big, big wall.
68
00:03:48.039 --> 00:03:48.560
It was good.
69
00:03:49.560 --> 00:03:52.719
My company tells everyone to take their birthday off, so
70
00:03:52.759 --> 00:03:55.800
I took my birthday off and my wife Brina, I
71
00:03:55.840 --> 00:03:58.879
went to a nice lunch and then we were very
72
00:03:59.360 --> 00:04:03.199
adulty because we went to Costco after and got stuff
73
00:04:03.280 --> 00:04:06.159
at Costco on the way home. And then over a
74
00:04:06.199 --> 00:04:08.280
couple of days when we didn't have grown up chores
75
00:04:08.319 --> 00:04:10.639
to do on other days, I caught up on some
76
00:04:10.680 --> 00:04:14.439
stuff that I'd been wanting to watch. So birthday good.
77
00:04:15.240 --> 00:04:17.120
Busy week. Teaching my daughter how to ride a bike.
78
00:04:17.160 --> 00:04:20.240
She did great tonight? Really off, Oh for real, you're
79
00:04:20.319 --> 00:04:23.800
actually yeah, not only believe it or not. Not only
80
00:04:23.879 --> 00:04:28.720
was I actually outdoors for something in a manicured community
81
00:04:28.759 --> 00:04:31.639
that's not the woods or a pond, I also taught
82
00:04:31.680 --> 00:04:34.120
my child how to do something so very good.
83
00:04:34.319 --> 00:04:38.800
Actually caught up on watching things. That is time management skill.
84
00:04:38.920 --> 00:04:40.839
My friend turns out, it's not a this or that,
85
00:04:41.040 --> 00:04:44.000
it's a yes. And you know, you can teach them
86
00:04:44.040 --> 00:04:46.279
how to do things and try to catch up on some.
87
00:04:46.160 --> 00:04:48.600
Stuff you've been wanting to watch. So yeah, it's been
88
00:04:48.600 --> 00:04:51.839
a good week. And then I went to the office
89
00:04:51.879 --> 00:04:55.279
a couple of days. Over the last week, Big Boss
90
00:04:55.319 --> 00:04:57.399
took a few folks out to dinner that was very nice.
91
00:04:57.439 --> 00:05:00.399
Went to a nice restaurant in downtown Columbus as well.
92
00:05:00.879 --> 00:05:03.399
So yeah, just eating a little better this week than normal.
93
00:05:03.480 --> 00:05:07.399
You know, can't have taco bell every day. So that's why.
94
00:05:07.199 --> 00:05:11.240
You texted me on your birthday from Costco asking if
95
00:05:11.279 --> 00:05:13.279
I would like a case of sugar free Red Bull.
96
00:05:14.480 --> 00:05:17.839
I'm very thoughtful that way. Not only was it a
97
00:05:17.879 --> 00:05:19.879
case of sugar free Red Bull, it was a case
98
00:05:19.879 --> 00:05:22.319
of sugar free Red Bull on it with a considerable
99
00:05:22.399 --> 00:05:25.519
sale I think, yeah, twenty percent off for ten or
100
00:05:25.519 --> 00:05:27.720
twenty percent off or something. So I thought, you know,
101
00:05:28.199 --> 00:05:30.959
if anybody needs a whole case of red Bull, it's Corey.
102
00:05:33.040 --> 00:05:35.480
I had plans to message you later in the day.
103
00:05:35.560 --> 00:05:38.439
I was on Pacific time, and I was like, I'm
104
00:05:38.519 --> 00:05:42.120
going to give like a thoughtful or funny birthday message later,
105
00:05:42.160 --> 00:05:44.399
but you texted first with that, so I was like, well,
106
00:05:44.439 --> 00:05:47.360
I can't not reply now and wait till I was
107
00:05:47.399 --> 00:05:48.959
going to do what I was going to do because
108
00:05:48.959 --> 00:05:52.639
his thing is time sensitive. So I was like, no,
109
00:05:52.720 --> 00:05:55.800
thank you. Also, happy birthday, not the way I wanted
110
00:05:55.800 --> 00:05:56.160
to tell.
111
00:05:56.879 --> 00:05:59.240
Yeah. Kind of my lot in life to pull the
112
00:05:59.240 --> 00:06:01.959
wind out of people's sales, you know what I mean. Yeah,
113
00:06:02.600 --> 00:06:05.759
whatever I can do really drag people down.
114
00:06:05.920 --> 00:06:10.759
You know, I always I always appreciate people wishing me
115
00:06:10.839 --> 00:06:12.720
happy birthday. No matter how they do it.
116
00:06:13.279 --> 00:06:13.399
Uh.
117
00:06:14.879 --> 00:06:17.160
But I think what what gets me is when it's
118
00:06:17.199 --> 00:06:20.560
a text message from somebody whom I didn't expect would
119
00:06:20.560 --> 00:06:23.720
know my birthday, and you've got a text from none
120
00:06:23.759 --> 00:06:26.560
other than grab him in the Brisket's fine, missed, Well,
121
00:06:26.600 --> 00:06:29.279
that's it's not a competition. But he's just the one
122
00:06:29.279 --> 00:06:36.360
who talks to us most Jonathan Lathrop, which was admittedly
123
00:06:36.439 --> 00:06:41.079
my listen as some I understand that the rest of
124
00:06:41.120 --> 00:06:47.879
the world, it's so much qualify I really am.
125
00:06:48.199 --> 00:06:50.680
You should never think, Kendall, I should.
126
00:06:50.519 --> 00:06:52.360
Never say what you want to say and let your
127
00:06:52.399 --> 00:06:56.360
words land where they land and assume people assume positive intent.
128
00:06:56.680 --> 00:06:58.680
Life is so much easier at the end, don't.
129
00:06:58.720 --> 00:07:02.800
I don't scroll through social media, and that's everybody's dirty
130
00:07:02.800 --> 00:07:07.399
little secret. You're not remembering everybody's birthday. You're not. You
131
00:07:07.560 --> 00:07:10.360
see it on social media. I know how it works.
132
00:07:10.759 --> 00:07:13.920
I don't do the social media thing so much, and
133
00:07:13.959 --> 00:07:17.959
so I, you know, miss birthdays. But when I found
134
00:07:18.000 --> 00:07:22.120
out it was your birthday, Dylan, I immediately wanted to
135
00:07:22.120 --> 00:07:24.959
wish you a happy birthday. Thank you, because I appreciate
136
00:07:25.000 --> 00:07:25.439
you friend.
137
00:07:25.920 --> 00:07:29.879
Thanks buddy, I appreciate that my little tip on birthdays
138
00:07:32.199 --> 00:07:35.120
because my social media tends to be more reading news
139
00:07:35.360 --> 00:07:38.720
and information than it is like just scrolling. I like
140
00:07:38.759 --> 00:07:40.600
the I like reels and stuff. They're fun too, and
141
00:07:40.639 --> 00:07:42.920
I send those to you guys, But mine tends to
142
00:07:42.959 --> 00:07:45.480
be more like news or reels versus just like looking
143
00:07:45.519 --> 00:07:49.959
at posts. But my little tip for birthdays for any
144
00:07:50.120 --> 00:07:52.519
especially Apple users. I don't know if Android does this too.
145
00:07:52.639 --> 00:07:55.560
I couldn't care to learn. But if you're an Apple user,
146
00:07:56.120 --> 00:07:59.800
go under somebody's contact and put their birthday under their
147
00:07:59.839 --> 00:08:03.240
contact and when you do, it populates their birthday onto
148
00:08:03.279 --> 00:08:06.439
your calendar. And if you know the year, it doesn't
149
00:08:06.480 --> 00:08:08.199
it not only tells you their birthday, it tells you
150
00:08:08.240 --> 00:08:10.959
how old they are each year, and so then you
151
00:08:10.959 --> 00:08:14.560
have it right on your calendar every year, with the
152
00:08:14.680 --> 00:08:17.040
right age and everything. So that's my tip for the
153
00:08:17.040 --> 00:08:20.800
Apple users. Put it under their contact and then you'll
154
00:08:20.839 --> 00:08:21.800
see it on your calendar.
155
00:08:21.800 --> 00:08:24.639
If you want to see birthdays, yeah, little by little.
156
00:08:25.240 --> 00:08:26.800
Other Wise that's a lot of work.
157
00:08:27.480 --> 00:08:27.839
Well is that?
158
00:08:27.879 --> 00:08:30.319
Why is that why your name on the zoom call
159
00:08:30.399 --> 00:08:33.960
is dealing for it? Because you have powerful tips like that.
160
00:08:34.639 --> 00:08:39.039
Little it tips? No, but that works. I should have
161
00:08:39.039 --> 00:08:42.200
said yes, but no, that was a silly nod to
162
00:08:43.519 --> 00:08:45.799
the role that I do for the company where I
163
00:08:45.879 --> 00:08:49.759
work is in revenue operations. And somebody brought up today
164
00:08:49.759 --> 00:08:51.879
as we were having a silly bit of conversation with
165
00:08:51.960 --> 00:08:55.480
the team there, Hey, does is anybody else it for?
166
00:08:55.600 --> 00:08:59.200
Like their whole network, like all their friends and family,
167
00:08:59.759 --> 00:09:03.639
and everyone just raised their hand on the entire on
168
00:09:03.679 --> 00:09:05.840
the entire call. So I was leaning into the Dylan
169
00:09:05.879 --> 00:09:10.360
for It moniker because of a silly little inside joke today.
170
00:09:10.919 --> 00:09:15.039
But that too. Yes, also that if you want mac
171
00:09:15.480 --> 00:09:19.600
Apple other product tips, let me know, shoot me a message.
172
00:09:19.960 --> 00:09:20.799
Yeah.
173
00:09:21.000 --> 00:09:23.440
So you said your company gives you your everybody their
174
00:09:23.480 --> 00:09:27.720
birthday off. Do they make you report back to the
175
00:09:27.759 --> 00:09:30.440
team what you did for your birthday as like.
176
00:09:30.360 --> 00:09:33.279
A no, don't have to do that. Nope, you can
177
00:09:33.360 --> 00:09:36.480
just take the day off if you want. Even in
178
00:09:36.960 --> 00:09:40.120
the technology that we use for submitting time off, it
179
00:09:40.159 --> 00:09:43.600
even says birthday perk, So you didn't even have to
180
00:09:43.600 --> 00:09:45.799
just put like vacation day. Everyone knows what it is,
181
00:09:45.799 --> 00:09:49.559
no explanation required, got it? Birthday? Love that for you. Yeah,
182
00:09:49.559 --> 00:09:51.399
it was great, nice long weekend. I enjoyed it.
183
00:09:52.080 --> 00:09:57.519
Nice, good good. We'll speaking of birthdays and getting older.
184
00:09:59.080 --> 00:10:02.399
There's certain things I feel like as I get older,
185
00:10:02.440 --> 00:10:05.559
and maybe other people can relate to this, that there's
186
00:10:05.759 --> 00:10:07.639
there's things that you just decide you're going to stop
187
00:10:07.679 --> 00:10:12.720
caring about anymore, and like you know, like hairlines and
188
00:10:12.759 --> 00:10:17.080
that kind of thing. Your day's come and Dylan, But
189
00:10:20.080 --> 00:10:23.960
realization I had a couple of days ago, was I
190
00:10:24.000 --> 00:10:30.600
am going to stop caring about reclassifying vegetables as things
191
00:10:30.799 --> 00:10:36.000
that you know, like a a tomato, It's unvegetable as
192
00:10:36.000 --> 00:10:38.440
far as I'm concerned for the rest of my life,
193
00:10:38.840 --> 00:10:42.000
a tomato is a vegetable. And and I don't I
194
00:10:42.000 --> 00:10:45.600
don't have time to care about whether or not things
195
00:10:45.639 --> 00:10:48.960
are fruits or what kinds of fruits. I've decided in
196
00:10:49.000 --> 00:10:50.960
my own head that the way that the world should
197
00:10:50.960 --> 00:10:55.360
work is, generally speaking, how you use it, how you
198
00:10:55.480 --> 00:10:58.840
use the thing, or just what you what you generally
199
00:10:58.879 --> 00:11:01.279
believe it's if it's some that like like you don't
200
00:11:01.360 --> 00:11:03.200
like it as much as like a fruit, and so
201
00:11:03.279 --> 00:11:05.399
therefore you can just call it a vegetable from now on,
202
00:11:05.919 --> 00:11:08.720
or like potatoes, like that's not a vegetable, it's a
203
00:11:08.720 --> 00:11:11.960
tuber Well you know, no, it's it's a vegetable in
204
00:11:12.000 --> 00:11:14.759
my world. From now on, beans are also vegetables. And
205
00:11:14.799 --> 00:11:18.600
while we're at it, peanuts are nuts. Okay, I'm not
206
00:11:18.759 --> 00:11:22.879
I'm not putting up with with the reclassifying things that
207
00:11:22.919 --> 00:11:26.360
we all should just know. Tomatoes are vegetables.
208
00:11:27.000 --> 00:11:30.679
The thing you said about potatoes just now is news
209
00:11:30.720 --> 00:11:35.080
to me. Hot off the press, vegetables or potatoes are vegetables.
210
00:11:35.120 --> 00:11:38.840
They're a tuber? Or being funny? Is that a real thing?
211
00:11:39.159 --> 00:11:39.320
Is this?
212
00:11:39.440 --> 00:11:39.679
Like?
213
00:11:40.159 --> 00:11:43.919
I mean, I don't know, like Northwest Ohio if like
214
00:11:44.120 --> 00:11:50.399
people classified things as tubers or not. But yeah, maybe
215
00:11:50.919 --> 00:11:53.240
is a type of vegetable. And are you serious? You
216
00:11:53.279 --> 00:11:55.840
guys have never heard of this before? Wow?
217
00:11:56.120 --> 00:11:58.320
Like t U b E R too.
218
00:11:58.480 --> 00:12:00.840
I feel like we're having the green bean cat conversation
219
00:12:00.919 --> 00:12:05.320
all over again. Yeah, yeah, it's a it's a thing.
220
00:12:05.840 --> 00:12:10.360
What are potatoes called tubers? That's what I'm googling.
221
00:12:10.759 --> 00:12:12.399
A tuber is a type I don't know, is it
222
00:12:12.440 --> 00:12:14.399
a type of vegetable or is it its own thing?
223
00:12:14.720 --> 00:12:17.799
And that was the specific example that came up where
224
00:12:17.799 --> 00:12:19.639
I just decided I'm not going to care anymore.
225
00:12:20.039 --> 00:12:24.080
Yes, potatoes are classified as tubers. Yeah, they are specifically
226
00:12:24.080 --> 00:12:26.120
this is ai who knows if it's right. They are
227
00:12:26.200 --> 00:12:30.279
specifically known as stem tubers, which are thickened, underground storage
228
00:12:30.320 --> 00:12:34.919
stems that grow from stolen stoleons. I don't know. Probably
229
00:12:34.960 --> 00:12:39.200
not Stalin's. That's a little communist. Not roots. The eyes
230
00:12:39.440 --> 00:12:43.440
on a potato are actually nodes in parentheses, buds that
231
00:12:43.519 --> 00:12:48.159
can sprout into new plants. Potatoes are not root vegetables.
232
00:12:48.200 --> 00:12:51.480
They are modified swollen stems. I don't care for that
233
00:12:51.480 --> 00:12:55.600
that store nutrients and starch for the plant because they
234
00:12:55.600 --> 00:13:01.480
are stems. Potatoes have nodes, eyes and inner nodes. Interesting.
235
00:13:02.120 --> 00:13:04.960
So while you're reading Kendall, I was like, I love
236
00:13:05.000 --> 00:13:07.639
this newfound you know, I don't give a rip what
237
00:13:07.759 --> 00:13:11.960
category things are. I thought you were like specifically talking
238
00:13:12.000 --> 00:13:17.159
about vegetables. You're saying in general, and so when I
239
00:13:17.279 --> 00:13:18.879
first thought you were just talking about.
240
00:13:18.639 --> 00:13:20.559
Oh no, it's very specific to vegetables.
241
00:13:20.879 --> 00:13:24.159
Okay, So you're just classifying things in general. So I
242
00:13:24.200 --> 00:13:26.399
was like, how many other things would that even apply to.
243
00:13:27.440 --> 00:13:30.080
There's a lot of I'll probably stumble across things where
244
00:13:30.080 --> 00:13:32.120
I'm like, yeah, no, I'm not. I'm not worried about
245
00:13:32.200 --> 00:13:35.279
you know, for for a thousand years, we all understood
246
00:13:35.279 --> 00:13:39.559
tomatoes to be vegetables. We've all understood potatoes to be vegetables.
247
00:13:40.320 --> 00:13:43.759
And you know if somebody if I call a peanut
248
00:13:43.840 --> 00:13:48.440
a nut instead of a legume, and somebody corrects me,
249
00:13:48.960 --> 00:13:50.679
they're going to get an eye roll out of me.
250
00:13:50.960 --> 00:13:53.639
Like that's that's the way I'm going to treat these situations.
251
00:13:53.679 --> 00:13:53.919
Now.
252
00:13:54.240 --> 00:13:57.720
I feel like I'm living that meme where the middle
253
00:13:57.759 --> 00:14:01.120
aged woman is like confused in the math is like
254
00:14:01.240 --> 00:14:04.399
going past her head, like all the different math problems.
255
00:14:04.399 --> 00:14:06.799
When I hear potatoes and tubers as a word that
256
00:14:06.879 --> 00:14:09.080
I've never heard before, Yeah.
257
00:14:08.799 --> 00:14:13.279
But I get the whole like it's it's it's more
258
00:14:13.360 --> 00:14:16.799
classification based off vibes than it is science, is what
259
00:14:16.840 --> 00:14:21.480
you're saying, Like, yeah, tomatoes functionally operate like a vegetable.
260
00:14:21.559 --> 00:14:25.240
You're thinking about them like a vegetable. Potatoes are a vegetable.
261
00:14:25.240 --> 00:14:28.039
That's how we think of them. I don't. Yeah, I
262
00:14:28.159 --> 00:14:31.559
just looked up like painting or a picture of vegetables
263
00:14:31.720 --> 00:14:34.360
and guess what's included in everyone potato?
264
00:14:34.399 --> 00:14:39.639
Tomatoes tomatoes. Yeah, vegetable juice from V eight still a
265
00:14:39.759 --> 00:14:44.480
very proud tomato right there on the can and V
266
00:14:44.600 --> 00:14:49.440
eight the vegetable juice company is calling that a vegetable,
267
00:14:49.480 --> 00:14:50.879
then it's good enough for me.
268
00:14:51.519 --> 00:14:55.279
That's funny. Is a mushroom technically fung guy and not
269
00:14:55.320 --> 00:14:55.960
a vegetable?
270
00:14:56.200 --> 00:14:57.639
Yeah, it can be a vegetable too.
271
00:14:58.879 --> 00:15:01.000
Biologically, mushroom are not vegetables.
272
00:15:01.039 --> 00:15:02.919
That's a nice thing to other vegetables.
273
00:15:03.039 --> 00:15:04.759
It's functionally it's a vegetable.
274
00:15:04.879 --> 00:15:05.679
It's a vegetable.
275
00:15:05.759 --> 00:15:07.879
Scientifically, it's not. Functionally it is.
276
00:15:08.519 --> 00:15:13.519
Yeah, Well, science needs to just stick to things that
277
00:15:13.559 --> 00:15:15.720
are important, like figuring out how to get more cream
278
00:15:15.720 --> 00:15:17.399
in between Oreo cookies.
279
00:15:18.600 --> 00:15:22.080
I don't know really, but it is a worthwhile pursuit.
280
00:15:23.840 --> 00:15:26.360
I agree with you. I'm fine. I'm on board. I'm
281
00:15:26.399 --> 00:15:29.679
on board with all the directionally accurate terms that aren't
282
00:15:29.720 --> 00:15:33.360
technically accurate terms. Yeah, that's fun.
283
00:15:35.240 --> 00:15:36.919
How are you, Corey good?
284
00:15:37.039 --> 00:15:40.039
I have a question for you guys about travel. So
285
00:15:41.399 --> 00:15:45.080
if you follow our group, our Facebook group, Yes, we're
286
00:15:45.120 --> 00:15:48.799
old apparently Facebook's for old people, it is. We have
287
00:15:48.840 --> 00:15:51.639
a Facebook group called from the Middle for the middlers,
288
00:15:51.679 --> 00:15:56.200
and I started a survey over there based on this hypothesis.
289
00:15:56.559 --> 00:16:00.639
I travel enough to start to think that people travel
290
00:16:00.720 --> 00:16:05.759
with what I will call statement clothing. Typically shirts or hats.
291
00:16:07.000 --> 00:16:10.679
That's like they want they want to travel in that
292
00:16:11.480 --> 00:16:16.200
because they want people to see. And usually it's either
293
00:16:16.360 --> 00:16:22.519
where they're from, something representative of where they're from, something
294
00:16:22.600 --> 00:16:28.879
representative of where they're going. So like Malli, right, they're
295
00:16:28.919 --> 00:16:31.000
going to travel in their Mauie shirt because they're going
296
00:16:31.000 --> 00:16:36.639
to Mali. I've also I've also begun to believe that
297
00:16:36.720 --> 00:16:42.159
maybe they travel with something from another place they've been.
298
00:16:42.279 --> 00:16:45.120
Whether they're going there or or not is irrelevant. It's
299
00:16:45.159 --> 00:16:48.039
just like, I'm a traveler, look at all the places
300
00:16:48.080 --> 00:16:52.279
I've been, equivalent to putting stickers of all the places
301
00:16:52.320 --> 00:16:56.759
you've been on your roller bag. Or another category would
302
00:16:56.799 --> 00:17:00.279
be like your favorite comedian, band, sports team?
303
00:17:01.399 --> 00:17:02.679
Which could you know?
304
00:17:02.720 --> 00:17:04.519
It could be a house state and could therefore be
305
00:17:04.559 --> 00:17:05.319
someplace you're from.
306
00:17:05.319 --> 00:17:08.440
But like, do you guys do this? Do you do
307
00:17:08.559 --> 00:17:09.000
well if.
308
00:17:08.920 --> 00:17:13.359
You're traveling somewhere, and if so, which of those things
309
00:17:13.359 --> 00:17:15.920
would you do? Where I'm from, where I'm going, another
310
00:17:16.000 --> 00:17:18.960
place I go to show that I'm a well traveled person,
311
00:17:19.079 --> 00:17:24.880
or my favorite band, comedian, musical artists. Podcasts from the
312
00:17:24.880 --> 00:17:29.640
Middle T shirt hoodie available now at Tea Public.
313
00:17:29.880 --> 00:17:32.200
Is it Tea Public? Where do we have our stuffing
314
00:17:32.359 --> 00:17:35.759
and merch? Have you ever thought about this?
315
00:17:36.359 --> 00:17:36.480
No?
316
00:17:37.000 --> 00:17:44.000
Okaygu So as far as I would say, by and large,
317
00:17:44.000 --> 00:17:47.960
I don't do this with clothing. I mean I wear,
318
00:17:49.920 --> 00:17:51.480
I wear what I wear where I like it.
319
00:17:51.559 --> 00:17:51.920
I don't.
320
00:17:52.400 --> 00:17:55.079
My wardrobe doesn't change a whole lot, even from season
321
00:17:55.079 --> 00:17:58.960
to season. And then my hat is just kind of
322
00:17:59.000 --> 00:18:02.279
like whatever my favorite hat at the moment is, and
323
00:18:02.319 --> 00:18:04.599
so like whatever hat I wore yesterday is probably the
324
00:18:04.599 --> 00:18:06.960
one I'm wearing on the road trip or to the
325
00:18:06.960 --> 00:18:14.480
plane tomorrow. By and large, there are some exceptions. So
326
00:18:14.640 --> 00:18:17.160
last year, we went to Myrtle Beach for spring break
327
00:18:17.200 --> 00:18:20.920
and I bought a sun hat, not a that set scaly,
328
00:18:21.000 --> 00:18:22.400
I don't know what to call it, you know, like
329
00:18:22.839 --> 00:18:25.559
a safarige kind of hat that is kind of popular now.
330
00:18:25.559 --> 00:18:28.799
You see guys our age anyway wearing them. I bought one,
331
00:18:28.839 --> 00:18:30.480
and I warred for the remainder of the trip. And
332
00:18:30.519 --> 00:18:32.880
then we're going to Hilton Head this summer, and I
333
00:18:32.920 --> 00:18:35.759
will likely wear that hat when I go to Hilton Head,
334
00:18:35.759 --> 00:18:38.319
But I otherwise don't wear that hat. Is that what
335
00:18:38.400 --> 00:18:40.640
you're talking about? Yeah?
336
00:18:40.680 --> 00:18:44.039
But like it specifically will say it'd be different if
337
00:18:44.039 --> 00:18:45.680
it said myrtle beach on that hat.
338
00:18:45.799 --> 00:18:49.839
Oh gotcha. Yeah, I tend to not wear like printed stuff.
339
00:18:50.440 --> 00:18:55.880
Okay, so here's some of the Granted that the survey
340
00:18:56.000 --> 00:19:00.319
size was small, Twenty six percent of people say something
341
00:19:00.359 --> 00:19:05.240
that shows where I'm from. Okay, One percent says something
342
00:19:05.279 --> 00:19:10.240
that shows where I'm going, eight percent say something from
343
00:19:10.279 --> 00:19:15.400
another place I've been, thirty three percent say something of
344
00:19:15.480 --> 00:19:18.960
my favorite band, comedian, musical artists, podcast, sports team, et cetera.
345
00:19:20.160 --> 00:19:23.880
Sixteen percent say I might inadvertently do this and or
346
00:19:23.920 --> 00:19:26.119
I do it with way less thought than you've put
347
00:19:26.160 --> 00:19:30.599
into this poll. Eight percent say I don't do this
348
00:19:30.720 --> 00:19:34.680
at all, and another eight percent say you think too much.
349
00:19:34.720 --> 00:19:38.799
Here are some of the comments middler Sherry, which I love.
350
00:19:38.920 --> 00:19:42.200
She says, I go to the other extreme when I travel.
351
00:19:41.880 --> 00:19:45.960
And specifically choose clothing that shows absolutely nothing about me.
352
00:19:46.880 --> 00:19:50.720
This keeps people from yelling oh h randomly in my ear,
353
00:19:53.480 --> 00:19:57.640
I said completely neutral equals little to no non essential interactions.
354
00:19:57.680 --> 00:19:58.599
I love the move.
355
00:20:00.000 --> 00:20:02.559
And that says I think it's illegal to go to
356
00:20:02.599 --> 00:20:06.720
the Columbus airport without wearing OSU gear, and Rachel agrees.
357
00:20:08.039 --> 00:20:11.279
Amy's comment is the best your wife I mostly don't
358
00:20:11.279 --> 00:20:13.559
do it at all, but I think I have worn
359
00:20:13.559 --> 00:20:14.920
a shirt from another trip.
360
00:20:15.400 --> 00:20:16.960
I guess.
361
00:20:21.880 --> 00:20:25.680
Rachel's daughter Gabby says, I wear Taylor Swift merch so
362
00:20:25.799 --> 00:20:32.039
that it's man repellent. So anyway, I think more people
363
00:20:32.079 --> 00:20:35.519
do this than are willing to admit, based on my observations.
364
00:20:35.680 --> 00:20:36.839
When I travel, there's a.
365
00:20:36.759 --> 00:20:39.640
Lot of where I'm from or where I'm going, or
366
00:20:39.680 --> 00:20:42.319
the most popular and then you can tell people are
367
00:20:42.319 --> 00:20:47.160
sometimes wearing something that they're like, ask me about, Ask
368
00:20:47.240 --> 00:20:50.599
me about the Yeah, the concert I went.
369
00:20:50.480 --> 00:20:55.279
To or the whatever that's funny. I think I would
370
00:20:55.319 --> 00:20:58.319
think like I would tend to if I were to
371
00:20:58.359 --> 00:21:01.799
wear something specific or non specific, I think I would
372
00:21:01.799 --> 00:21:07.640
go the other direction and with avoidance, right, kind of
373
00:21:07.680 --> 00:21:09.519
like it was Sherry who had said that, like she
374
00:21:09.640 --> 00:21:14.759
doesn't she's trying to avoid being like anything about it,
375
00:21:15.440 --> 00:21:18.599
maybe something like that in that same spirit, but instead
376
00:21:18.640 --> 00:21:23.400
I'm trying to avoid looking like a tourist. Yeah, I
377
00:21:23.400 --> 00:21:25.640
think that's the direction I would go. So I'm not
378
00:21:25.720 --> 00:21:30.559
trying to say anything about myself other than I belong here, gotcha?
379
00:21:30.759 --> 00:21:34.200
If that makes sense. Yeah, you could go with the
380
00:21:34.640 --> 00:21:42.160
classic Oh what movie was it? My wife and her
381
00:21:42.200 --> 00:21:44.240
family would kill me because it's like their favorite movie
382
00:21:44.240 --> 00:21:45.519
and I can't remember the name of it, but the
383
00:21:45.519 --> 00:21:49.680
shirt that says, don't hassle me. I'm local. I forget
384
00:21:49.720 --> 00:21:54.640
what movie that's from. I talking, but yeah, that that
385
00:21:54.759 --> 00:21:57.720
same kind of vein. So I mean, I feel like
386
00:21:57.799 --> 00:22:03.599
I dress pretty normally, would basically blend in anywhere, and
387
00:22:03.680 --> 00:22:07.759
so I'm not too worried about it, but I otherwise
388
00:22:07.799 --> 00:22:09.240
would probably think about that.
389
00:22:09.759 --> 00:22:10.839
It's from What About Bob?
390
00:22:11.039 --> 00:22:11.799
What About Bob?
391
00:22:11.920 --> 00:22:15.000
That's right, Bill Murray, Bill Murray.
392
00:22:15.079 --> 00:22:18.160
Yeah, this probably doesn't surprise anyone who's listened for a while.
393
00:22:18.240 --> 00:22:20.759
This isn't the thing I think about it all. But
394
00:22:21.880 --> 00:22:25.799
and in fact, when people describe anything remotely fashionable, I
395
00:22:26.079 --> 00:22:28.599
end up having to almost always google it. Somebody said
396
00:22:28.640 --> 00:22:32.400
resort chic the other day. No idea what that would even.
397
00:22:33.200 --> 00:22:34.440
I don't even know what that would mean.
398
00:22:35.400 --> 00:22:38.039
Is that like, is that like a loose linen shirt?
399
00:22:39.000 --> 00:22:41.039
Yeah? See, you know these things. I don't know.
400
00:22:41.319 --> 00:22:45.640
I'm guessing that's that's what I'm thinking. Yah, birkenstocks and
401
00:22:45.680 --> 00:22:50.279
a loose linen shirt and khaki shorts.
402
00:22:50.519 --> 00:22:55.319
Sure, I recognize some of the words. He said. It's
403
00:22:55.359 --> 00:22:58.200
not a thing I think about. So it's an interesting question,
404
00:22:58.279 --> 00:23:00.400
mostly because I need other people to weigh in, and
405
00:23:00.440 --> 00:23:03.400
in fact, just to cement how much I've not thought
406
00:23:03.400 --> 00:23:07.920
about this. Steve Jobs a polarizing person. One thing that
407
00:23:08.119 --> 00:23:10.079
I would do if I was a billionaire and people
408
00:23:10.079 --> 00:23:12.240
would think it was neat and not weird, I'd wear
409
00:23:12.279 --> 00:23:14.519
the same outfit every day. He had a s turtle
410
00:23:14.599 --> 00:23:17.440
neck and certain jeans and certain shoes. And when you're
411
00:23:17.440 --> 00:23:19.200
a billionaire and you're rich, you can do that and
412
00:23:19.200 --> 00:23:22.160
it's not weird at all. People just think, oh, he's
413
00:23:22.200 --> 00:23:25.039
so driven and focused. But like, I can't do that
414
00:23:25.119 --> 00:23:27.200
because then it's like, eh, he's gross and he has
415
00:23:27.240 --> 00:23:30.680
the same outfit on. But I totally get it, because
416
00:23:30.720 --> 00:23:34.240
that's what like T shirt, shorts, some kind of shoe,
417
00:23:34.559 --> 00:23:36.519
great locked in. I'll do that till I have to
418
00:23:36.559 --> 00:23:39.759
switch to pants because it's colder about and then I'll
419
00:23:39.759 --> 00:23:43.279
switch back when pants season is over, and I'd be fine.
420
00:23:43.359 --> 00:23:43.960
I'd be fine.
421
00:23:45.880 --> 00:23:50.160
Well, some people can't sneak through the airport, namely NBA stars.
422
00:23:50.519 --> 00:23:54.079
I saw Scottie Pippen at the Columbus airport.
423
00:23:54.240 --> 00:23:57.000
Oh nice, did you ask him? Why the long face?
424
00:24:03.720 --> 00:24:06.519
Whoa what hold on?
425
00:24:07.119 --> 00:24:13.119
Sorry, stop everything, gem and Christmas.
426
00:24:14.519 --> 00:24:16.359
He's got to make sure the logos on a shirt
427
00:24:16.400 --> 00:24:20.480
get seen. There's a certain contractual. There's a contractual obligation
428
00:24:20.599 --> 00:24:21.839
for airtime on YouTube.
429
00:24:22.119 --> 00:24:24.880
I thought it just picked up on Kendall's nose joke
430
00:24:24.960 --> 00:24:29.359
and zoomed in on mine. So I'm in I'm in
431
00:24:29.440 --> 00:24:34.079
the security line on Sunday morning. And the Ohio State
432
00:24:34.160 --> 00:24:38.720
spring game was the day before, and Scottie Pippen's son
433
00:24:38.839 --> 00:24:41.519
that Sherry told me later because I didn't know, had
434
00:24:41.680 --> 00:24:46.240
just committed to play basketball at Ohio State. And Scottie
435
00:24:46.240 --> 00:24:50.759
Pippen was at the football spring game, so that's why
436
00:24:50.799 --> 00:24:53.839
he was in town. He's unmistakable right to your point.
437
00:24:54.160 --> 00:24:57.640
I mean, his his face, his nose, It's Scottie Pippen.
438
00:24:58.400 --> 00:25:01.960
So I'm like five behind him in line. And like
439
00:25:02.839 --> 00:25:05.880
if you know terminal be at the Columbus Airport. There's
440
00:25:06.000 --> 00:25:10.519
the side area with the restaurants. I think it's like
441
00:25:10.519 --> 00:25:12.640
a Burger king and a two more.
442
00:25:12.599 --> 00:25:13.839
Where people wait for their love.
443
00:25:13.960 --> 00:25:15.720
There's little food court there, little food.
444
00:25:15.559 --> 00:25:16.200
Court right there.
445
00:25:16.960 --> 00:25:24.960
This lady, she was a character. She's going, hey, Scottie
446
00:25:24.960 --> 00:25:30.079
Hay and he just turns and he just gives her
447
00:25:30.160 --> 00:25:34.000
like a peace sign or whatever, and so we get
448
00:25:34.000 --> 00:25:36.759
through security. We're on the other side of TSA now,
449
00:25:37.559 --> 00:25:41.720
and my gate is immediately on the other side of
450
00:25:41.759 --> 00:25:46.200
the security line, so I don't have to walk any further,
451
00:25:46.720 --> 00:25:48.960
but I usually go and get a Starbucks. And so
452
00:25:49.000 --> 00:25:50.680
I was like, all right, I'm not I'm gonna play
453
00:25:50.680 --> 00:25:52.440
it cool. I'm not gonna like I can just say
454
00:25:52.440 --> 00:25:55.880
that I've seen him, because he's still pretty far ahead
455
00:25:55.920 --> 00:25:58.720
of me. But as I'm in line for Starbucks, I'm
456
00:25:58.720 --> 00:26:04.079
thinking I can't be this close to Scottie Pippen because
457
00:26:04.079 --> 00:26:06.400
I watched him play with Jordan in the nineties. I mean,
458
00:26:06.480 --> 00:26:09.920
like I grew up watching those two, right. So I'm like, yeah,
459
00:26:10.079 --> 00:26:10.880
all right, here's.
460
00:26:10.640 --> 00:26:11.240
What I'm gonna do.
461
00:26:11.319 --> 00:26:15.759
I'm gonna casually just like really sort of chill, get
462
00:26:15.799 --> 00:26:19.519
my coffee and breakfast sandwich. And if he happens to
463
00:26:19.599 --> 00:26:21.559
be because I saw where he's at, I saw which
464
00:26:21.599 --> 00:26:24.440
gate he was at. If he's still there and they
465
00:26:24.440 --> 00:26:27.519
have him boarded by the time I'm done, then I'll
466
00:26:27.559 --> 00:26:29.240
walk over and just shake his hand.
467
00:26:29.279 --> 00:26:31.000
I'm not going to do a photo, ask to do
468
00:26:31.000 --> 00:26:31.960
a photo, none of that.
469
00:26:32.039 --> 00:26:35.240
I'm just gonna be like Scotty loved watching you play.
470
00:26:35.039 --> 00:26:36.279
Would just love to shake your hand.
471
00:26:37.119 --> 00:26:40.119
So I go to Starbucks, I get my coffee, at
472
00:26:40.119 --> 00:26:42.599
my breakfast sandwich, I come out. I looked to him,
473
00:26:42.599 --> 00:26:45.480
all right, sure enough, he's still sitting there, very relaxed
474
00:26:46.039 --> 00:26:46.680
at his gate.
475
00:26:47.240 --> 00:26:48.119
So I walk over.
476
00:26:48.759 --> 00:26:53.400
Oh, I had this shirt on, so he looks at me,
477
00:26:53.480 --> 00:26:58.720
because you can't miss this shirt. And as I get closer, though,
478
00:26:58.880 --> 00:27:03.240
now we've locked eyes and he sees that I'm making
479
00:27:03.240 --> 00:27:08.279
a bee line right for him. And then I notice
480
00:27:08.319 --> 00:27:12.079
he's got air pods in, but I don't know if
481
00:27:12.079 --> 00:27:14.200
he's just listening to music or on like a call.
482
00:27:15.599 --> 00:27:19.440
But I'm processing this as I'm taking even more steps closer.
483
00:27:19.000 --> 00:27:21.319
To him, staring at him right in the eyes, looking
484
00:27:21.319 --> 00:27:23.039
at that him right in the eyes, which is awkward,
485
00:27:23.160 --> 00:27:25.039
by the way, like you catch s eye contact with
486
00:27:25.119 --> 00:27:27.359
somebody that you're walking to too soon. And now let's
487
00:27:27.359 --> 00:27:28.400
say now, and.
488
00:27:28.359 --> 00:27:31.240
Now it's like there's five more steps till I get here. Yeah, yeah,
489
00:27:31.359 --> 00:27:33.400
he could have just reached. His arms are long enough,
490
00:27:33.440 --> 00:27:36.200
he could have just it's holding the door open way
491
00:27:36.240 --> 00:27:38.920
too early. Somebody's like twenty steps away, and you're like this,
492
00:27:39.200 --> 00:27:39.960
I made it weird.
493
00:27:40.200 --> 00:27:42.680
Yeah. So now okay, so you're having this romantic moment
494
00:27:42.680 --> 00:27:43.480
with Scottie Piffen.
495
00:27:44.160 --> 00:27:47.160
I've clocked that he's got air pods in with the cord.
496
00:27:47.240 --> 00:27:49.400
By the way, can't you afford the new ones?
497
00:27:49.480 --> 00:27:49.880
Whatever?
498
00:27:51.759 --> 00:27:52.759
It's airport chic.
499
00:27:55.759 --> 00:27:58.119
So now I'm like, I don't want him to have
500
00:27:58.160 --> 00:28:01.279
to go, yeah, man, what's the like take one out?
501
00:28:01.359 --> 00:28:04.559
So I just go, I mouth if you can't, if
502
00:28:04.559 --> 00:28:06.799
you're not watching us on the podcast, I mouth, I
503
00:28:06.880 --> 00:28:09.400
just want to shake your hand, and I stick, I
504
00:28:09.440 --> 00:28:12.079
stick my hand out and he nods and smiles, he
505
00:28:12.160 --> 00:28:13.559
shakes my hand, and then I just go.
506
00:28:16.200 --> 00:28:18.799
All right, hey, that was cool man.
507
00:28:18.720 --> 00:28:20.720
That was it. Just want to just want to shake
508
00:28:20.759 --> 00:28:21.119
your hand.
509
00:28:21.519 --> 00:28:23.240
That was Hey. That was a lot of thought and
510
00:28:23.240 --> 00:28:24.119
he did great.
511
00:28:25.000 --> 00:28:28.039
Way less weird than some of my other celebrity interactions.
512
00:28:28.279 --> 00:28:32.599
I'm getting better, but it was like, I can't be
513
00:28:32.720 --> 00:28:35.400
this close and not at least, you know, go for it.
514
00:28:35.440 --> 00:28:35.960
What the heck?
515
00:28:36.039 --> 00:28:36.200
Right?
516
00:28:36.319 --> 00:28:37.160
So it was cool.
517
00:28:37.400 --> 00:28:39.000
Probably going to be seeing a lot more of him
518
00:28:39.000 --> 00:28:42.319
here in Columbus. So I posted this on on Facebook,
519
00:28:42.680 --> 00:28:45.920
just the text, just met Scottie Pippen in the airport.
520
00:28:46.000 --> 00:28:50.440
What loved watching thirty three growing up, and Middler Sherry
521
00:28:50.559 --> 00:28:52.079
was like photo or it didn't happen.
522
00:28:52.960 --> 00:28:56.000
Yeah, I'm like, I don't want to be that guy.
523
00:28:56.759 --> 00:28:58.720
But people were like, yeah, he was at this a
524
00:28:58.720 --> 00:29:01.839
Snutch steakhouse and this last night, so apparently he was
525
00:29:01.880 --> 00:29:02.880
out making the rounds.
526
00:29:02.920 --> 00:29:05.160
But yeah, pretty cool.
527
00:29:06.240 --> 00:29:07.200
That is pretty cool.
528
00:29:07.680 --> 00:29:08.799

Let's get nerdy.
539
00:30:15.640 --> 00:30:19.720
Okay, So I've been trying to put a list together
540
00:30:20.160 --> 00:30:23.599
and I'm only too deep. But it's it's been astonishingly
541
00:30:23.680 --> 00:30:27.200
a long amount of time, and it makes me appreciate
542
00:30:27.920 --> 00:30:32.599
that people do like these like most popular or whatever
543
00:30:32.720 --> 00:30:35.200
sayings in the Midwest, and then they I don't know.
544
00:30:36.160 --> 00:30:38.359
I mean, I assume that they're just scouring the Internet
545
00:30:38.400 --> 00:30:41.359
and regurgitating information and compiling and that kind of thing.
546
00:30:42.440 --> 00:30:46.599
I've started making a list of things that white women say,
547
00:30:48.480 --> 00:30:54.000
you've got to and I only have two two things
548
00:30:54.359 --> 00:30:57.480
that I that I can for sure say that white
549
00:30:57.480 --> 00:31:01.279
women say these things. And and every time I hear
550
00:31:01.519 --> 00:31:03.839
that somebody said these things, it is going to be
551
00:31:03.880 --> 00:31:06.680
a white woman that pops in like virtually everybody's heads,
552
00:31:07.359 --> 00:31:11.920
all right, and they're relatively innocuous. The first one is
553
00:31:12.079 --> 00:31:17.319
referring to fall as sweater weather. I feel like that
554
00:31:17.319 --> 00:31:21.920
that is legitimately a white woman thing. And then the
555
00:31:21.960 --> 00:31:24.720
second white woman thing I've got is that when you
556
00:31:24.839 --> 00:31:29.799
eat something that is unhealthy but delicious, you refer to
557
00:31:29.839 --> 00:31:34.200
it as dangerous. Call these these are dangerous. That's a
558
00:31:34.240 --> 00:31:38.640
white woman thing. So this is just my call out
559
00:31:39.079 --> 00:31:41.559
to you two and everybody else that I'm trying to
560
00:31:41.599 --> 00:31:46.920
put this list together. Uh, and my challenge everybody is,
561
00:31:47.000 --> 00:31:50.000
don't resort to any other lists. Let's see if we
562
00:31:50.039 --> 00:31:54.000
can come up with our own organic white women saying list.
563
00:31:55.240 --> 00:31:58.279
This is fun, this is a good one. I've been on.
564
00:31:58.319 --> 00:32:01.680
This thing's white people say, tip and there's a lot
565
00:32:01.680 --> 00:32:04.440
of these going around on Instagram reels right now, but
566
00:32:04.519 --> 00:32:08.359
I like the specifics. This also reminds me of the
567
00:32:08.440 --> 00:32:12.279
time when we talked about we brought up on the podcast.
568
00:32:13.400 --> 00:32:13.599
Ah.
569
00:32:14.839 --> 00:32:16.680
I think it was a Reddit thread that one of
570
00:32:16.720 --> 00:32:19.880
you guys brought up, and it was like things things
571
00:32:19.920 --> 00:32:23.480
black people have always wanted to ask white people, and.
572
00:32:23.400 --> 00:32:26.240
It was like totally safe. It was like it didn't
573
00:32:26.240 --> 00:32:27.039
get nasty.
574
00:32:27.119 --> 00:32:30.480
It was like actually very endearing and sweet that like
575
00:32:31.200 --> 00:32:33.559
some of the things that black folks wanted to know
576
00:32:33.599 --> 00:32:35.960
about white people. And then one of them was like,
577
00:32:36.000 --> 00:32:38.920
why why do y' all call your sons bub or
578
00:32:38.960 --> 00:32:42.440
bubba or bubby? So that could be a white woman
579
00:32:42.519 --> 00:32:47.519
one like it'd be But yeah, that's funny.
580
00:32:47.519 --> 00:32:51.839
I like that. Keep it going. Yeah, yeah, sweater weather.
581
00:32:51.880 --> 00:32:54.680
I wonder if that happened before or after the SNL
582
00:32:54.759 --> 00:33:01.880
sketch the sweat like from that.
583
00:33:00.119 --> 00:33:02.400
That could be I bet you, I bet you. Saturday
584
00:33:02.480 --> 00:33:06.640
Night Live is was going down the same. There's a
585
00:33:06.680 --> 00:33:09.039
writer at Yes and Now that was also thinking of
586
00:33:09.079 --> 00:33:10.000
what white women say.
587
00:33:10.200 --> 00:33:13.799
Yeah, I like this wet Weather. I feel like people
588
00:33:13.839 --> 00:33:15.640
need to chime in on this one on socials and
589
00:33:15.720 --> 00:33:18.160
let us know, if you've got any more ideas we
590
00:33:18.240 --> 00:33:21.759
can discuss. That's such a like did not That's that's
591
00:33:21.799 --> 00:33:23.640
hard to think of on the spot, but I'm sure
592
00:33:23.640 --> 00:33:25.440
we could come up with a good list over time.
593
00:33:25.599 --> 00:33:28.519
And then it is yeah, because it's pick them apart.
594
00:33:28.799 --> 00:33:30.559
I mean there's all kinds of white women. Like you
595
00:33:30.559 --> 00:33:33.000
can just go on to like Pinterest and find all
596
00:33:33.079 --> 00:33:36.680
kinds of white women things right like live laugh, love
597
00:33:36.839 --> 00:33:39.319
signs made out of like reclaimed wood.
598
00:33:40.680 --> 00:33:41.160
Like that.
599
00:33:41.160 --> 00:33:43.279
That kind of thing is very much a white woman thing.
600
00:33:43.359 --> 00:33:46.839
But what else? What else?
601
00:33:46.839 --> 00:33:49.319
Well, what what inspired it? Can I ask what inspired it?
602
00:33:50.200 --> 00:33:54.039
I think the idea I I I heard somebody to
603
00:33:54.079 --> 00:33:56.599
refer to something as dangerous, and the thought popped into
604
00:33:56.640 --> 00:33:58.799
my mind that, like, that's very much a white woman
605
00:33:58.920 --> 00:34:01.680
thing to say. And then I was like, are there others?
606
00:34:02.240 --> 00:34:03.599
I was like, well, there's one other.
607
00:34:06.119 --> 00:34:10.360
And it's a list. Like it's a list, it's dangerous.
608
00:34:10.400 --> 00:34:13.719
One is also not just unhealthy foods, but like a
609
00:34:13.760 --> 00:34:16.519
cocktail that they can barely taste the alcohol in. Yeah,
610
00:34:16.719 --> 00:34:20.639
you're like, oh, that's dangerous. State, that's dangerous, Stacy, I
611
00:34:20.679 --> 00:34:22.800
could have six of it. You can't even say stick.
612
00:34:24.639 --> 00:34:27.280
These are so dangerous, I'd get it away from me.
613
00:34:27.320 --> 00:34:29.840
It's dangerous, that's good.
614
00:34:32.280 --> 00:34:34.719
Or Stuwie from Family Guy would also say these things.
615
00:34:37.880 --> 00:34:40.960
Oh that's true. Now, now I just gotta pull like
616
00:34:41.039 --> 00:34:44.400
Stewie's like best quotes from Stewie on Family Guy, and
617
00:34:44.599 --> 00:34:46.719
just see how many of those could also double for
618
00:34:46.760 --> 00:34:49.079
your list. Yeah, if you could double it from two
619
00:34:49.079 --> 00:34:50.960
to four, we'd be feeling pretty hot, you know what
620
00:34:51.000 --> 00:34:52.679
I mean? I agree?
621
00:34:52.880 --> 00:34:55.920
I agree. So many of them are things that, like
622
00:34:56.000 --> 00:34:58.239
our quotes that I could attribute to white women, but
623
00:34:58.280 --> 00:35:01.039
not necessarily things I always hear them say, you know,
624
00:35:01.440 --> 00:35:03.360
I like this, similar to the live laf love thing,
625
00:35:03.440 --> 00:35:06.480
also the like you know, bardon the mess for making
626
00:35:06.519 --> 00:35:09.519
memories thing, like all of that stuff. And some of
627
00:35:09.559 --> 00:35:11.920
these are going to be probably millennial specific. I feel
628
00:35:11.920 --> 00:35:16.159
like those we've talked about hanging up like signs as
629
00:35:16.320 --> 00:35:19.400
art core. You brought that up once, and that's that's
630
00:35:19.559 --> 00:35:26.079
I think of a female millennial thing similar to millennial
631
00:35:26.159 --> 00:35:31.760
gray on the walls and millennial gray color schemes, and
632
00:35:31.800 --> 00:35:33.800
all of the younger generations are now like, why are
633
00:35:33.840 --> 00:35:39.440
millennials so depressed with their walls? That's that's what it is.
634
00:35:40.039 --> 00:35:42.760
We should identify a word for the year at New
635
00:35:42.800 --> 00:35:43.920
Year's New Year's time.
636
00:35:44.599 --> 00:35:49.480
That's a vite. What's our word for this year? Babe? Babe?
637
00:35:49.519 --> 00:35:50.639
What's our word for this year?
638
00:35:51.760 --> 00:35:55.239
Speaking of dangerous things, I discovered a new ice cream
639
00:35:55.280 --> 00:35:57.079
treat while I was in the Bay Area.
640
00:35:57.239 --> 00:35:59.119
Oh, I'm much.
641
00:35:59.119 --> 00:36:02.239
Dangerous it was. That's why I went there, right.
642
00:36:02.239 --> 00:36:07.239
That's requesting screen chair allow it.
643
00:36:07.639 --> 00:36:12.760
These make it so it's food related all aloud.
644
00:36:13.440 --> 00:36:19.199
These are called It's it. It's this one here. It's
645
00:36:19.280 --> 00:36:24.440
two oatmeal cookies with ice cream in the middle. Nice
646
00:36:25.239 --> 00:36:29.760
dipped in chocolate, a very thin layer of choo and
647
00:36:29.760 --> 00:36:33.280
they're kind of like a Scotch egg of the dessert world.
648
00:36:34.199 --> 00:36:40.360
It's the originals are from San Francisco. It started in
649
00:36:40.440 --> 00:36:41.519
nineteen twenty eight.
650
00:36:42.280 --> 00:36:43.960
They have strawberry anyway.
651
00:36:45.119 --> 00:36:49.280
I was at a fancy office and in the office
652
00:36:49.320 --> 00:36:52.679
they had a mini freezer that had these and like Snickers,
653
00:36:52.719 --> 00:36:56.400
ice cream bars and little tiny ice creams. I had
654
00:36:56.480 --> 00:36:59.159
like three of these things over the course of two days.
655
00:36:59.760 --> 00:37:02.320
And they're smaller than an oatmeal cream pie. They look
656
00:37:02.480 --> 00:37:04.840
large in the photo, but they're actually you know, maybe
657
00:37:05.079 --> 00:37:06.960
like this, They're not too big, so you feel like
658
00:37:07.519 --> 00:37:10.559
you're having a decadent little it's worth going to San
659
00:37:10.599 --> 00:37:11.880
Francisco for y'all.
660
00:37:11.960 --> 00:37:17.679
They're like, it's it, it's it. They're legit, big fan.
661
00:37:19.840 --> 00:37:22.199
That sounds like something would would be right up my alley,
662
00:37:22.320 --> 00:37:27.079
And that created a really, really great transition until I
663
00:37:27.119 --> 00:37:30.119
realized how uncomfortable it would be to say. So, I'm
664
00:37:30.119 --> 00:37:32.760
not going to use the transition, but just imagine I
665
00:37:32.800 --> 00:37:35.639
had a witty transition here to something that I wanted
666
00:37:35.679 --> 00:37:36.320
to ask about.
667
00:37:36.519 --> 00:37:37.880
It's already there, buddy.
668
00:37:37.840 --> 00:37:42.880
Yeah, perfect, whatever makes it more awkward. So we love
669
00:37:42.960 --> 00:37:47.760
to try sodas. Mountain Dew has a new dirty Mountain
670
00:37:47.840 --> 00:37:50.880
Dew cream soda. I don't know if you've seen this one.
671
00:37:51.079 --> 00:37:55.239
Have you had it yet? Kendall? Yeah, yeah, okay, So
672
00:37:56.320 --> 00:38:01.559
I enjoy trying Mountain Dews especially, but certainly certainly not
673
00:38:01.639 --> 00:38:04.199
limited amount dues. Anyways, I was intrigued to try this.
674
00:38:04.679 --> 00:38:07.000
I got it. I've had a handful of cans. It's
675
00:38:07.079 --> 00:38:12.960
kind of weird, but what it really reminds me of
676
00:38:13.079 --> 00:38:15.800
is ice cream floats, which I guess kind of makes sense,
677
00:38:15.880 --> 00:38:19.679
like cream soda whatever, but not like root beer. It
678
00:38:19.719 --> 00:38:22.400
was root beer. As kids, we would do root beer
679
00:38:22.440 --> 00:38:25.320
in like Big Red floats. I don't know if that
680
00:38:25.480 --> 00:38:28.079
was the thing, and so it reminds me more of
681
00:38:28.119 --> 00:38:32.800
like the Big Red like a citrusy fruity type, not
682
00:38:32.920 --> 00:38:36.719
a root beer type. It's weird. I don't love it.
683
00:38:36.800 --> 00:38:40.039
I'm glad I tried. It reminds me of if Big
684
00:38:40.079 --> 00:38:44.719
Red were melted, if a Big Red float had melted
685
00:38:45.159 --> 00:38:47.199
and was but was still cold. That's kind of what
686
00:38:47.239 --> 00:38:47.920
it tastes like to me.
687
00:38:48.199 --> 00:38:49.679
Yeah, do you agree?
688
00:38:49.760 --> 00:38:50.440
Did you like it?
689
00:38:51.199 --> 00:38:53.360
I didn't. I didn't really like it. I was. I
690
00:38:53.639 --> 00:38:55.719
very much wanted to like it, and it sounds great.
691
00:38:55.840 --> 00:38:56.079
I know.
692
00:38:56.280 --> 00:38:59.840
Taco Bell is like a little while ago got on
693
00:38:59.880 --> 00:39:05.480
the dirty soda wagon, which my understanding of a dirty
694
00:39:05.480 --> 00:39:08.239
soda is literally just mixing cream in with whatever, and
695
00:39:08.280 --> 00:39:11.280
they've been doing like dirty Baja blasts and stuff, which
696
00:39:11.320 --> 00:39:14.559
I have not tried, but I'm wondering if those got
697
00:39:14.840 --> 00:39:18.280
really popular. And so then Mountain Dew, who clearly has
698
00:39:18.320 --> 00:39:22.119
a close relationship with Taco Bell. Yeah, this hard to
699
00:39:22.199 --> 00:39:23.480
try to can can it?
700
00:39:24.960 --> 00:39:25.480
I think? So?
701
00:39:26.199 --> 00:39:31.360
I'm and maybe didn't translate well with the like trying
702
00:39:31.360 --> 00:39:36.480
to process it this way. I don't know. Yeah, I
703
00:39:36.519 --> 00:39:40.519
wasn't a big fan either. I was. I haven't seen
704
00:39:40.559 --> 00:39:43.039
that dragon fruit one that's shown up on screen. I've
705
00:39:43.079 --> 00:39:44.480
not seen that yet.
706
00:39:44.719 --> 00:39:49.039
It's not a panther. It's a dragon made from bits,
707
00:39:49.079 --> 00:39:52.480
a real panther. This this article alludes to the dirty
708
00:39:52.519 --> 00:39:55.400
soda thing coming out of Utah, right, because they don't
709
00:39:55.719 --> 00:39:59.480
have okay on paper. They don't drink alcohol there, and
710
00:39:59.519 --> 00:40:03.480
so the dirty soda thing became especially popular there. That
711
00:40:03.639 --> 00:40:06.559
was going to be part of my segue. You can
712
00:40:06.599 --> 00:40:12.000
start piecing it together anyways. So I had talked about
713
00:40:12.039 --> 00:40:14.920
this with a coworker from Utah, and they don't drink soda.
714
00:40:15.000 --> 00:40:16.880
So this didn't That didn't help at all, because I
715
00:40:16.880 --> 00:40:19.400
wanted to ask, have you this is like a thing
716
00:40:19.440 --> 00:40:23.760
that would have been made. This would have been made
717
00:40:23.840 --> 00:40:27.639
before mountain dew candate and sold at themselves there, like
718
00:40:27.920 --> 00:40:32.760
taking a soda, pouring in creamer, adding in fruit, doing whatever.
719
00:40:32.920 --> 00:40:36.920
That's exactly so like it almost felt like a McDonald's
720
00:40:36.920 --> 00:40:40.360
burger versus a homemade burger. Kind of maybe a homemade
721
00:40:40.440 --> 00:40:42.519
version would have been way better if people were already
722
00:40:42.519 --> 00:40:46.960
slinging mountain dews with creamer in it, but not helpful.
723
00:40:47.000 --> 00:40:50.679
They didn't drink soda, So it's fascinating. I do love
724
00:40:50.719 --> 00:40:54.480
trying weird sodas. Canada Dry has a strawberry fruit fruit
725
00:40:54.519 --> 00:40:58.559
splash right now, that's nice. Not a big ginger ale person.
726
00:40:58.800 --> 00:41:02.159
That one's kind of fun though, because it's not super gingery.
727
00:41:02.280 --> 00:41:06.760
It's like strawberry with a little bit of kick. But yeah,
728
00:41:06.800 --> 00:41:09.079
it was a weird one. Little Sad didn't love it.
729
00:41:09.159 --> 00:41:12.239
Little said, yeah, yeah. Mountain Due usually does a really
730
00:41:12.239 --> 00:41:15.199
good job with their flavors, to the point where, like
731
00:41:15.480 --> 00:41:18.480
I was convinced that it's impossible to screw up Mountain
732
00:41:18.519 --> 00:41:21.039
Dewon no matter what you add to it. Sure, I
733
00:41:21.119 --> 00:41:23.719
think the dirty one is a little bit too far to.
734
00:41:23.679 --> 00:41:24.320
The left there.
735
00:41:24.719 --> 00:41:29.559
Yeah, you're right, though, there's definitely uh Taco Bell and
736
00:41:29.599 --> 00:41:34.480
Mountain Dude certainly see Mike Bedfellows. They're often associated with
737
00:41:34.519 --> 00:41:39.199
one another. I think Ohioan's love both of those pretty well,
738
00:41:39.960 --> 00:41:43.159
Big Big Taco Bell State, Big Mountain dew State. I
739
00:41:43.239 --> 00:41:48.440
fall in and it's like it's like the college gamer
740
00:41:48.519 --> 00:41:52.280
commercial just rights itself, but for like the whole state
741
00:41:52.320 --> 00:41:52.960
of Ohio.
742
00:41:54.079 --> 00:41:57.559
Some collab with the first person shooter like call of
743
00:41:57.639 --> 00:41:59.519
Duty or yeah.
744
00:41:58.960 --> 00:42:02.360
Sure, why not all in the same commercial, and they
745
00:42:02.360 --> 00:42:04.840
would just cross market, kind of like your shirt. Just
746
00:42:04.880 --> 00:42:07.760
slap everything in one place, throw it all on, just
747
00:42:07.840 --> 00:42:09.559
throw it all on. Yep, there you go.
748
00:42:09.960 --> 00:42:11.920
Well they can't all be winners, but it's good to
749
00:42:11.920 --> 00:42:17.440
have some variety. Speaking of variety, before I tell you
750
00:42:17.480 --> 00:42:20.559
other story, I don't pay for this stuff by myself.
751
00:42:20.639 --> 00:42:22.760
I'm not quit hedging.
752
00:42:23.239 --> 00:42:26.440
I'm not fancy. I didn't pay for this hotel stay.
753
00:42:26.519 --> 00:42:29.159
I got to stay at my first four Seasons.
754
00:42:29.639 --> 00:42:31.559
Oh cool, were your New York friends there.
755
00:42:32.280 --> 00:42:33.639
In Silicon Valley?
756
00:42:34.840 --> 00:42:40.360
And the hotel room itself was fine. It's a much
757
00:42:40.400 --> 00:42:45.960
older hotel. But the experience there was some fun experiential things,
758
00:42:46.840 --> 00:42:49.599
and that's small. This is like the perfect person from
759
00:42:49.679 --> 00:42:53.400
the middle reacting to a fancy lifestyle that he could
760
00:42:53.400 --> 00:42:57.119
not otherwise afford. One thing that I liked when they
761
00:42:57.199 --> 00:43:00.320
cleaned your rooms each day, if you had any thing
762
00:43:00.400 --> 00:43:05.039
plugged in, they would like perfectly wind it up and
763
00:43:05.079 --> 00:43:10.079
then put a velcrow little strap in buckle around.
764
00:43:09.760 --> 00:43:12.639
Every chord with a little four season's logo on the
765
00:43:12.719 --> 00:43:17.320
velcoro strap. I was like, wow, nice touch.
766
00:43:17.800 --> 00:43:18.480
Wow.
767
00:43:18.880 --> 00:43:21.440
The other thing I didn't notice until the last night,
768
00:43:21.480 --> 00:43:23.800
which is a shame. Because as I get older, I
769
00:43:23.880 --> 00:43:27.800
don't argue about which category tomatoes get in. I have
770
00:43:27.920 --> 00:43:31.440
troubles with the pillows that I use, or the pillows
771
00:43:31.440 --> 00:43:32.360
you might say.
772
00:43:33.320 --> 00:43:37.320
Speaking of Ohio things my hellos.
773
00:43:37.880 --> 00:43:41.159
So the last night I looked to my left and
774
00:43:41.159 --> 00:43:43.159
on the nightstand is a little card that I hadn't
775
00:43:43.199 --> 00:43:47.400
noticed all week, and it says pillow menu. And I
776
00:43:47.440 --> 00:43:49.800
was like, oh, this is like little decadent treats that
777
00:43:49.840 --> 00:43:52.039
you could like order late at night, like their late
778
00:43:52.159 --> 00:43:55.559
night food menu, room service menu.
779
00:43:55.719 --> 00:43:59.039
Nope, it's a menu of at least I think it
780
00:43:59.119 --> 00:44:00.079
was at least ten.
781
00:44:00.079 --> 00:44:04.119
Different pillows that you could order if you didn't like
782
00:44:04.159 --> 00:44:08.000
the ones on the bed with descriptions and then like
783
00:44:08.079 --> 00:44:11.840
a dot scale of how soft or ferment was, and
784
00:44:12.440 --> 00:44:15.760
like little drawings if it was like ergonomic or like
785
00:44:15.800 --> 00:44:18.480
one of those you know, pillow cubes or whatever.
786
00:44:18.519 --> 00:44:23.840
I was like, a pillow'll make wow. What I wish
787
00:44:23.920 --> 00:44:25.239
I would have noticed it earlier.
788
00:44:25.239 --> 00:44:27.440
I would have taken advantage because I like a firm
789
00:44:27.639 --> 00:44:30.639
you know, I'm a side sleeper, so I need like
790
00:44:30.679 --> 00:44:31.800
a firm hop pillow.
791
00:44:31.840 --> 00:44:34.800
Anyway, Uh, that was the only thing I wanted to say.
792
00:44:35.760 --> 00:44:39.719
Is that's next level, they wrap up your cords cool,
793
00:44:39.760 --> 00:44:43.079
and they got different kinds of pillars. And one time
794
00:44:43.119 --> 00:44:45.440
I stayed in a in in in one of these
795
00:44:45.559 --> 00:44:48.079
one of these places where like the door to your
796
00:44:48.159 --> 00:44:52.840
room was like inside, like you were already inside, and
797
00:44:52.880 --> 00:44:55.400
then you opened a door to get inside of your room.
798
00:44:55.559 --> 00:44:58.800
So that was crazy. Like you opened the door to
799
00:44:58.920 --> 00:45:02.079
leave your room and you're inside. It was crazy.
800
00:45:02.079 --> 00:45:04.360
You didn't have to park by your door.
801
00:45:04.880 --> 00:45:07.639
Yeah, that was the only inconvenient part is that, like,
802
00:45:07.679 --> 00:45:09.440
you know, my car wasn't right there.
803
00:45:10.320 --> 00:45:15.760
Uh, but you you I'm gonna use the word complaining.
804
00:45:15.840 --> 00:45:18.199
You weren't saying it that harshly, but it's funnier if
805
00:45:18.239 --> 00:45:22.239
I say complaining. You complaining about your four seasons room
806
00:45:24.679 --> 00:45:28.880
made the quote. It was old and small and run down.
807
00:45:28.960 --> 00:45:31.800
It was pretty. It wasn't up to what I expected
808
00:45:31.840 --> 00:45:34.119
from my saying. But it reminds me of been Friends
809
00:45:34.360 --> 00:45:37.760
when Chandler says he's Joey has two women in love
810
00:45:37.800 --> 00:45:40.960
with him, and then Chandler says, oh, no, two women
811
00:45:41.000 --> 00:45:43.440
love me. They're both gorgeous and sexy. My wallet's too
812
00:45:43.440 --> 00:45:46.320
small for my fifties and my diamond shoes are too tight.
813
00:45:50.480 --> 00:45:52.719
I have this fun little tradition with Er when I'm
814
00:45:52.760 --> 00:45:54.840
on the road that I take like a little video
815
00:45:54.960 --> 00:45:58.480
of the room, just like because she is curious about
816
00:45:58.519 --> 00:46:01.719
my view or whatever, like and how the hotel rates.
817
00:46:01.760 --> 00:46:03.519
And so I did our usual thing where I'm like,
818
00:46:03.599 --> 00:46:06.119
this is my room. And even she, who is like
819
00:46:06.719 --> 00:46:10.199
not at all judge or like pampered like that, is
820
00:46:10.239 --> 00:46:12.920
like the room looks just not what you would expect
821
00:46:13.039 --> 00:46:14.840
in your head when you picture a room at a
822
00:46:14.920 --> 00:46:18.039
four seasons You're like, oh, and she's like, it looks
823
00:46:18.079 --> 00:46:20.880
like rooms I've seen at the Double Tree or you
824
00:46:20.920 --> 00:46:24.760
know whatever. So just it wasn't it didn't just jump
825
00:46:24.840 --> 00:46:26.360
out as anything special.
826
00:46:26.119 --> 00:46:26.880
Is all I meant.
827
00:46:27.519 --> 00:46:30.039
Yeah, sure, and my diamond shoes are too tight.
828
00:46:30.119 --> 00:46:34.000
They'ah. And Scottie Pippens doing just fine.
829
00:46:34.920 --> 00:46:38.280
Yeah, we're homies now, we exchange numbers. Everything's fun.
830
00:46:39.400 --> 00:46:40.800
Yeah.
831
00:46:41.400 --> 00:46:43.320
Oh that's all I got. Boys, I'm tapped out. What
832
00:46:43.360 --> 00:46:47.280
are we streaming? Oh, Dylan, Dylan.
833
00:46:47.320 --> 00:46:51.760
I watched The Trust Me doc and Fight over Wild
834
00:46:52.159 --> 00:46:57.159
Wild Wild just not for children, not for children, just
835
00:46:59.719 --> 00:47:05.800
one one that's if you missed it. It's The Trust Me.
836
00:47:05.960 --> 00:47:08.599
It's on Netflix for people who don't know what we're
837
00:47:08.599 --> 00:47:10.639
about to start talking about if you want to add
838
00:47:10.679 --> 00:47:12.840
it to your quire since we brought up Utah and
839
00:47:12.880 --> 00:47:19.199
Dirty Pop exactly. Uh, trust me, I'm trying to remember
840
00:47:19.239 --> 00:47:21.480
the name. I can't. The Netflix app doesn't let you
841
00:47:21.519 --> 00:47:23.719
search like a normal app anymore. It's the worst. It's
842
00:47:23.719 --> 00:47:25.159
like AI or something pulled up.
843
00:47:25.880 --> 00:47:30.320
So while you're doing that, I'll acknowledge that the fundamentalist
844
00:47:30.480 --> 00:47:34.239
Latter Day Saints is already an extreme fundamentalist.
845
00:47:33.639 --> 00:47:38.840
Sect of LDS. You got your blur on. There you go.
846
00:47:39.079 --> 00:47:42.800
It is, trust me, the false prophet on Netflix.
847
00:47:43.880 --> 00:47:50.400
So FLDS is already like a fundamentalist extreme like to
848
00:47:50.639 --> 00:47:55.559
the letter sect of LDS. And then this guy spins
849
00:47:55.599 --> 00:48:02.519
off and doesn't even wilder version of FLDS.
850
00:48:02.519 --> 00:48:08.400
So fascinating. Yeah, just I don't know what else to say.
851
00:48:08.400 --> 00:48:12.440
It was really good. It's it's wild, it's a wild
852
00:48:12.639 --> 00:48:16.480
And then the lady who's like the plant within in
853
00:48:16.519 --> 00:48:18.039
her background.
854
00:48:18.199 --> 00:48:22.159
She's so conflicted because she genuinely cares about these women
855
00:48:22.679 --> 00:48:24.599
and is trying to get them out of it because
856
00:48:24.599 --> 00:48:28.000
she had a similar experience in her life. But then
857
00:48:28.079 --> 00:48:31.519
she knows they're gonna hate me because they're so zealous
858
00:48:31.559 --> 00:48:36.159
about their faith. They're gonna hate me for helping them,
859
00:48:36.199 --> 00:48:38.239
and I can only hope and pray that they'll thank
860
00:48:38.320 --> 00:48:38.800
me later.
861
00:48:39.800 --> 00:48:40.760
Because they're so.
862
00:48:42.400 --> 00:48:44.519
I think it's safe to say they're pretty boxed in
863
00:48:44.599 --> 00:48:47.000
and they're sort of limited in their critical thinking. They
864
00:48:47.000 --> 00:48:49.199
even admit that in the documentary there.
865
00:48:49.800 --> 00:48:50.760
They're very.
866
00:48:52.239 --> 00:48:55.679
They're very loyal to the prophet and it's all about obedience,
867
00:48:55.719 --> 00:48:58.199
and so they don't question things. They just do what
868
00:48:58.239 --> 00:49:01.760
they're told to a fault and to the point that
869
00:49:01.840 --> 00:49:05.639
pretty egregious things are happening that they don't question because
870
00:49:05.639 --> 00:49:08.360
they're like, well, the profit's said, and.
871
00:49:07.880 --> 00:49:12.280
You're like, oh, you can. You can see the recurring
872
00:49:12.519 --> 00:49:20.400
pattern amongst other cults and extremist groups, where othering and
873
00:49:20.719 --> 00:49:26.360
fear is used to create divisions so that you can't
874
00:49:26.400 --> 00:49:30.920
ever trust or question, or everyone's an enemy because if
875
00:49:30.920 --> 00:49:34.199
there's any level of empathy or gray area, people are
876
00:49:34.239 --> 00:49:37.159
open to like, oh maybe I'm wrong, but if everyone's
877
00:49:37.199 --> 00:49:41.239
always a hardline enemy. So you can see this playing
878
00:49:41.280 --> 00:49:46.119
out in conversations that and the entire town is basically
879
00:49:46.159 --> 00:49:48.679
a part of the group, so there's no outside there's
880
00:49:48.760 --> 00:49:54.199
virtually no outsiders, so they're literally sequestioned told to obey
881
00:49:54.719 --> 00:49:57.400
and only and and then you see how.
882
00:49:58.719 --> 00:50:02.920
Regressed they are and some of their critical thinking skills
883
00:50:02.960 --> 00:50:07.239
and anyway, it was just wow. So and so there's this, Yeah,
884
00:50:07.519 --> 00:50:09.199
just go check it out if you're into that sort
885
00:50:09.239 --> 00:50:11.039
of thing. Not for kids, but wild and just a
886
00:50:11.079 --> 00:50:15.239
fascinating study of human psychology and the stuff.
887
00:50:15.000 --> 00:50:17.960
That you don't realize goes on in the United States.
888
00:50:18.320 --> 00:50:22.599
I'm gonna say, yeah, like that's that's the thing that's surprising, right,
889
00:50:22.679 --> 00:50:28.159
It's like we're used to our little suburban lives and
890
00:50:28.159 --> 00:50:30.840
then like you know, we hear about, like, you know,
891
00:50:30.880 --> 00:50:32.960
what life is like in other parts of the world
892
00:50:33.000 --> 00:50:36.079
and in different cultures and things. But then to realize that,
893
00:50:36.199 --> 00:50:40.400
like man, for some people like you just get in
894
00:50:40.400 --> 00:50:42.079
the car and drive a little bit and find it.
895
00:50:42.719 --> 00:50:49.760
Yeah, you could see how even non extreme examples, it's
896
00:50:49.840 --> 00:50:53.840
not much of a stretch. When the Amish refer to
897
00:50:53.920 --> 00:50:58.119
non Amish as the English, or you have very rural
898
00:50:58.360 --> 00:51:03.320
and very urban folks that intersect places or North South,
899
00:51:03.599 --> 00:51:08.280
you know, Southerners calling the Northerners Yankees or whatever. Like,
900
00:51:08.400 --> 00:51:10.360
you could see how that's not that's just like a
901
00:51:10.440 --> 00:51:14.320
tiny inch away from normal. But there's already a little
902
00:51:14.360 --> 00:51:16.960
bit of that, like it's a pretty different world and
903
00:51:17.000 --> 00:51:19.280
you're not that far apart kind of thing, you know.
904
00:51:21.000 --> 00:51:24.840
But then to your point, Corey, they're almost exclusive within
905
00:51:24.920 --> 00:51:27.960
this town. So it's not like there's a town and
906
00:51:28.039 --> 00:51:30.039
they make up I'm making up numbers, but it's not
907
00:51:30.079 --> 00:51:31.840
like they're in a town and they make up ten
908
00:51:31.920 --> 00:51:35.119
percent of the town. They're like most of this town
909
00:51:35.280 --> 00:51:38.559
that's its own little bubble. And so there's not even
910
00:51:38.639 --> 00:51:43.039
like a bunch of English going to visit the Amish
911
00:51:43.039 --> 00:51:46.880
and all co mingling constantly in Amish country in Ohio
912
00:51:46.960 --> 00:51:50.559
or Pennsylvania or Indiana. This is like even more secluded
913
00:51:50.639 --> 00:51:55.039
than that, and then amped up by some of the
914
00:51:55.079 --> 00:51:57.280
other stuff happening. So yeah, just.
915
00:51:57.320 --> 00:51:59.880
Crazy crazy, Sorry to jump in, but you had men
916
00:52:00.239 --> 00:52:02.119
it last week and I wanted to say I watched
917
00:52:02.159 --> 00:52:03.800
all four Step episodes on the.
918
00:52:03.719 --> 00:52:07.239
Flight over because I could. I was just like, yeah,
919
00:52:07.519 --> 00:52:10.159
I think we bingched it all at once, and maybe
920
00:52:10.159 --> 00:52:12.639
maybe two nights. Maybe we watched the last episode and
921
00:52:12.639 --> 00:52:14.760
a half the second night, but we watched it all quick,
922
00:52:14.800 --> 00:52:18.519
and it was it was bizarre. Yeah. So I mentioned
923
00:52:18.519 --> 00:52:20.920
that my birthday I was off extra day catching up
924
00:52:20.960 --> 00:52:23.440
on some stuff. I finally watched over the last I
925
00:52:23.440 --> 00:52:26.360
think couple of weeks, but I finished miss Mission Possible
926
00:52:26.400 --> 00:52:28.400
seven and eight. It's like a thirty year journey of
927
00:52:28.840 --> 00:52:31.400
getting from the first one to the last one. We
928
00:52:31.480 --> 00:52:34.599
did it all very fun, very much exactly like you
929
00:52:34.639 --> 00:52:39.599
expect them to be, just a fun action spy thriller.
930
00:52:40.800 --> 00:52:45.880
Still watching Daredevil on Netflix, which is fantastic. Star Wars
931
00:52:46.000 --> 00:52:50.199
is a new animated series called Mal. If you watch Solo,
932
00:52:50.960 --> 00:52:53.440
the live action Star Wars movie called Solo, at the
933
00:52:53.559 --> 00:52:56.079
very end teaser for like a ten year old movie.
934
00:52:56.119 --> 00:52:57.920
I don't know how old is this point. At the
935
00:52:58.000 --> 00:53:01.159
very end, there's a post credit scene with Darth, who
936
00:53:01.199 --> 00:53:04.599
appears as like a hologram talking to one of the characters.
937
00:53:05.320 --> 00:53:08.119
This show is basically an animated version of what you
938
00:53:08.159 --> 00:53:11.159
would have wanted to see based on that teaser. So
939
00:53:11.320 --> 00:53:14.599
like Mal is a crime lord, it just happens to
940
00:53:14.639 --> 00:53:19.920
be animated. But it's really good so far. So yeah,
941
00:53:19.960 --> 00:53:25.360
so Mission Possible, Daredevil, Mal, the Star Wars mall series,
942
00:53:25.519 --> 00:53:29.480
probably some other stuff, but all's been really fun, all
943
00:53:29.599 --> 00:53:30.480
good stuff to watch.
944
00:53:32.360 --> 00:53:38.599
Kendal really nothing but sports doaling Mission Impossible? Did you
945
00:53:38.639 --> 00:53:40.360
say are you watching that with Brie.
946
00:53:41.360 --> 00:53:46.199
She does not watch the Mission Possible movies I watched myself. Okay, cool, Yeah.
947
00:53:46.760 --> 00:53:52.679
I heard a meme recently that said that, like a
948
00:53:52.679 --> 00:53:59.239
big part of parenting is is wanting to watch things,
949
00:54:00.400 --> 00:54:03.079
but your kids are too young to watch it, and
950
00:54:03.119 --> 00:54:04.920
so you have to wait until they go to bed.
951
00:54:04.960 --> 00:54:07.199
But you can't watch it by yourself because it's something
952
00:54:07.239 --> 00:54:09.920
that your wife also wants to watch, and so you
953
00:54:09.960 --> 00:54:12.039
both wait until the kids go to bed, and then
954
00:54:12.079 --> 00:54:14.159
by the time they go to bed and everybody's like
955
00:54:14.239 --> 00:54:16.840
actually asleep, it's too late and you're too tired, and
956
00:54:16.880 --> 00:54:18.159
so you just go to bed and you just end
957
00:54:18.280 --> 00:54:19.400
up never watching anything.
958
00:54:21.559 --> 00:54:25.000
It's kind of that, But like her and I generally
959
00:54:25.039 --> 00:54:27.519
don't have a problem finding things to watch, it's that
960
00:54:28.440 --> 00:54:30.760
it's the watching the stuff I know she won't want
961
00:54:30.800 --> 00:54:33.039
to watch. So it's like, I don't want to make
962
00:54:33.079 --> 00:54:35.480
you watch something I know you're not interested in, so
963
00:54:35.559 --> 00:54:39.679
I'll try to carve out some time whatever that could
964
00:54:39.719 --> 00:54:42.320
happen to like watch the thing that I know I
965
00:54:42.400 --> 00:54:43.000
just want to watch.
966
00:54:43.000 --> 00:54:45.119
That's the thing, because when you do finally get time
967
00:54:45.159 --> 00:54:46.719
that you're not exhausted.
968
00:54:46.239 --> 00:54:48.400
It feels selfish. To peel off and be like, I'm
969
00:54:48.440 --> 00:54:52.639
just gonna go do my own thing. Yeah, the room.
970
00:54:53.159 --> 00:54:56.039
I known even at that. Like we were talking to
971
00:54:56.079 --> 00:54:59.880
some family at Easter about watching something and it's like, so,
972
00:55:00.000 --> 00:55:02.639
somebody made the comment, oh, I started it last night,
973
00:55:02.679 --> 00:55:05.199
I'll try to finish it tomorrow, and I'm like, that's
974
00:55:05.239 --> 00:55:08.440
pretty fast. Sometimes I start a movie and it's like
975
00:55:08.559 --> 00:55:10.840
three weeks later or a month later, and then I'm like,
976
00:55:10.880 --> 00:55:13.559
I'm gonna finally watch the second half or another third
977
00:55:13.599 --> 00:55:15.599
of this, and then in a couple of weeks, I'll
978
00:55:15.599 --> 00:55:20.360
watch another third of this. So I lucked out because
979
00:55:20.360 --> 00:55:23.719
we were watching Modern Family together. We'd never watch that,
980
00:55:23.800 --> 00:55:26.920
so or think on season three she fell asleep on
981
00:55:26.960 --> 00:55:28.679
the couch. It was early enough that I'm like, I'm
982
00:55:28.719 --> 00:55:32.440
gonna switch to Mall and finish mallil she wakes up,
983
00:55:32.480 --> 00:55:35.280
because they're like twenty five minute episodes. I can watch several,
984
00:55:36.320 --> 00:55:38.000
So even Matt just kind of worked out. I'm like,
985
00:55:38.039 --> 00:55:40.079
if she wakes up, I'll turn Modern Family back on,
986
00:55:40.239 --> 00:55:43.760
but until then, I'm gonna catch up on a couple episodes.
987
00:55:44.880 --> 00:55:46.519
It would have been fun for her to wake up.
988
00:55:46.559 --> 00:55:49.519
And then you try to explain how Modern Family got
989
00:55:49.679 --> 00:55:52.599
to like how the storyline, how much she missed and.
990
00:55:52.519 --> 00:55:57.480
Now it's this turns out realty was a real pipeline
991
00:55:57.519 --> 00:56:02.039
for Phil to turn into a crime lord space and
992
00:56:02.119 --> 00:56:07.880
now he runs several criminal underground organizations. So that's where
993
00:56:07.880 --> 00:56:10.039
we are no longer a real.
994
00:56:09.920 --> 00:56:12.360
Term And this is an animated episode.
995
00:56:12.639 --> 00:56:16.519
Think this is some episodes do like musical episodes. This
996
00:56:16.639 --> 00:56:20.639
is like they're doing an animated episode, but not musical.
997
00:56:21.000 --> 00:56:24.880
Wasn't there like when there was a strike or something,
998
00:56:25.119 --> 00:56:28.159
or maybe it was during COVID and they they weren't recording.
999
00:56:29.519 --> 00:56:36.440
There were some Blacklist did an episode an animated episode,
1000
00:56:36.440 --> 00:56:42.400
which was really freaking awesome. And I'm trying to think
1001
00:56:42.400 --> 00:56:45.599
if others did that that were around during that era,
1002
00:56:45.679 --> 00:56:47.440
because Modern Family would have been one of those.
1003
00:56:48.159 --> 00:56:49.880
Yeah, I think a lot of shows just did a
1004
00:56:49.920 --> 00:56:53.639
