WEBVTT
00:00:00.800 --> 00:00:01.360
Here we are.
00:00:01.439 --> 00:00:04.320
It's Plate and Ponder, Empty Nesting with Jenna Chris Fenton.
00:00:04.400 --> 00:00:12.480
I got a Wolfman Jack type of sound to me that is aging me as somebody who's old enough to know who Wolfman Jack is.
00:00:12.640 --> 00:00:16.320
I'm gonna dedicate um this episode to Fred C.
00:00:16.480 --> 00:00:21.600
Cohen, one of the great fathers, not only to his boys, but also to a lot of us his friends.
00:00:21.839 --> 00:00:27.199
Really excited to hang out with Greg Cohen, his son, coming up here soon at a Miami Hurricane game.
00:00:27.359 --> 00:00:31.920
Anyway, we are in officially 83 nations around the world.
00:00:32.079 --> 00:00:32.799
Can you believe that?
00:00:32.960 --> 00:00:40.479
I am gonna let I'm gonna just name really quick, and I'm here as you guys are probably having a sigh of relief with Jen Funten.
00:00:40.640 --> 00:00:40.880
Jen.
00:00:41.119 --> 00:00:42.399
Wait, you didn't even say my name right now.
00:00:43.280 --> 00:00:44.240
I don't know what I said there.
00:00:44.399 --> 00:00:45.359
You know we're married.
00:00:45.600 --> 00:00:46.000
We are.
00:00:46.159 --> 00:00:48.159
Have we been married for a certain amount of time?
00:00:48.399 --> 00:00:49.840
We've been married for a very long time.
00:00:50.079 --> 00:00:51.679
How long is that amount of time?
00:00:51.920 --> 00:00:55.840
We celebrated our 22nd wedding anniversary a few weeks ago.
00:00:56.000 --> 00:01:00.399
In fact, I think the last podcast we did was leading into it.
00:01:00.719 --> 00:01:02.960
Yeah, we um apologize.
00:01:03.200 --> 00:01:04.560
First of all, I'm under the weather.
00:01:04.719 --> 00:01:10.239
I was definitely under the weather last night when we got back from Montreal, and um, we were planning on doing one last night.
00:01:10.319 --> 00:01:13.040
So we're doing it tonight, and I'm gonna fight through it.
00:01:13.200 --> 00:01:19.200
Um, I will say it is pretty unbelievable to see how this grows even when we don't do episodes.
00:01:19.280 --> 00:01:28.480
But I will say also that I am one of my pet peeves is when I get into a podcast and they go a long stretch without their regular posting of a new episode.
00:01:28.560 --> 00:01:29.680
That drives me crazy.
00:01:29.760 --> 00:01:33.359
So if we drove you crazy, we um apologize for that.
00:01:33.439 --> 00:01:37.359
But I do want to thank Barbados, Botswana, the Cayman Islands.
00:01:37.439 --> 00:01:38.959
I wonder if that's Ryan Milconian.
00:01:40.239 --> 00:01:43.840
I want to do my 50th in a year and a half in the Caymans.
00:01:44.079 --> 00:01:44.799
That could be really fun.
00:01:45.120 --> 00:01:51.120
Slovakia, um, Paraguay, Kenya, El Salvador, and the Dominican Republic.
00:01:51.280 --> 00:01:53.200
Those are all the last ones that have joined us.
00:01:53.519 --> 00:01:54.480
We picked up some good ones.
00:01:54.719 --> 00:01:56.799
Yeah, so thank you everybody for joining us.
00:01:57.200 --> 00:02:00.079
Once again, Playton Ponder, Empty Nesting with Jen and Chris Fenton.
00:02:00.159 --> 00:02:03.840
Um, please download, enjoy, follow us, engage, DM us.
00:02:04.000 --> 00:02:06.799
Yes, even if you're upset that we haven't done it a new episode.
00:02:06.879 --> 00:02:08.639
And Jen doesn't even believe that.
00:02:08.719 --> 00:02:14.000
And then, of course, she comes in and I'm on the phone with somebody that calls, and the first thing they ask is like, where's a new episode?
00:02:14.080 --> 00:02:16.080
And I go, Okay, they're they're coming, they're coming.
00:02:16.159 --> 00:02:16.639
Um anyway.
00:02:16.960 --> 00:02:17.599
They're coming for us.
00:02:17.919 --> 00:02:18.400
Coming in hot.
00:02:19.199 --> 00:02:20.960
So there is just so much to talk about, Jen.
00:02:21.039 --> 00:02:26.000
What I mean, I you know the stuff I like talking about, but I don't know if that becomes a drone for everybody.
00:02:26.080 --> 00:02:30.400
So why don't you hit some of the subjects that we hit to kick this off, right?
00:02:30.639 --> 00:02:35.759
Okay, well, we were in Montreal, which means it is officially lacrosse season for us.
00:02:36.080 --> 00:02:37.439
Yes, yes, yes.
00:02:37.520 --> 00:02:40.000
And what happened over the weekend with this team?
00:02:40.240 --> 00:02:44.400
Well, we went to the opener uh at Molson.
00:02:44.719 --> 00:02:47.919
Oh, can I just say also that Montreal's weather was awesome?
00:02:48.319 --> 00:02:52.319
Oh, it was phenomenal, especially coming from Los Angeles when it was hotter than hell.
00:02:52.560 --> 00:02:57.120
Like I have never ever seen LA with temperatures like this.
00:02:57.280 --> 00:03:13.520
I, you know, born and raised here, obviously went to school back east, uh, have spent some time in some humid places, but you had like 90 hundred degree weather with crazy humidity that rivaled the the you know percentages Kaylee was getting in New Orleans.
00:03:13.759 --> 00:03:18.000
In fact, one night I think we said to her, we're like, oh my God, it's so hot and so humid.
00:03:18.159 --> 00:03:21.120
And Kaylee said, Oh no, it's definitely hotter and humid here.
00:03:21.199 --> 00:03:26.479
And we both pulled up our, you know, our our weather apps and we had the same humidity.
00:03:26.800 --> 00:03:32.960
Yeah, it's uh for anybody that's in SoCal, we've definitely had uh, I think a historic uh heat wave.
00:03:33.039 --> 00:03:35.039
We talked a little bit about it last time.
00:03:35.280 --> 00:03:39.759
It was just really nice to uh be in Montreal.
00:03:40.240 --> 00:03:42.879
Well, what's funny though is you know, I flew out.
00:03:43.039 --> 00:03:46.800
Oh, are we gonna get that cough throughout the entire podcast?
00:03:47.120 --> 00:03:50.240
So everybody knows I did uh there is COVID going around.
00:03:50.479 --> 00:03:52.000
It is not COVID, you tested.
00:03:52.240 --> 00:03:52.479
Right.
00:03:52.639 --> 00:03:56.639
So I did go get tested, as much as I think it's ridiculous.
00:03:56.800 --> 00:03:59.840
But I actually wanted to have, I mean, No, take it out of the universe.
00:04:00.080 --> 00:04:01.599
Stop, stop, stop, stop, don't even say it.
00:04:01.840 --> 00:04:07.680
There's a way to cure COVID where it's just the cure it, I still think that this strain that's going around is taking people down.
00:04:07.840 --> 00:04:14.479
In fact, I know two people who have said this round of COVID is worse than they ever had five years ago.
00:04:14.719 --> 00:04:15.520
Well, guess what?
00:04:15.599 --> 00:04:20.000
I just have an ordinary average cold or virus and it's how life is.
00:04:20.240 --> 00:04:26.319
You know, I'm actually I'm gonna tell you how selfish I am because I don't want to get sick.
00:04:26.480 --> 00:04:28.560
Um, I'm making him sleep in Kaylee's room.
00:04:28.720 --> 00:04:29.040
Yes.
00:04:29.199 --> 00:04:30.240
Sorry, Kaylee.
00:04:30.480 --> 00:04:33.759
Um I like I just I can't I can't get sick.
00:04:33.839 --> 00:04:36.639
I don't want to get sick, so you're sleeping in Kaylee's room.
00:04:36.800 --> 00:04:40.480
I like it too because if I have to cough, I don't feel like I have to be really quiet with the cop.
00:04:41.199 --> 00:04:42.160
Like I have to go.
00:04:43.680 --> 00:04:45.600
Anyway, um, okay, that's another one.
00:04:46.319 --> 00:04:53.600
Going to Montreal and coming from these crazy temperatures, I couldn't even fathom packing a jacket.
00:04:53.759 --> 00:04:59.519
I did muster a sweater, which is pretty good because it was a little chilly at one point during the day.
00:04:59.759 --> 00:05:01.040
And I'm glad I did.
00:05:01.279 --> 00:05:03.920
I think next time we go, I'm gonna have to bring a jacket.
00:05:04.000 --> 00:05:15.279
I feel like we are gonna be entering that fall season where even if it's you know 86 degrees in sunny Los Angeles, it's getting into those upper, well, maybe not upper, maybe mid-sixties.
00:05:15.680 --> 00:05:17.360
Well, I'm super excited about it.
00:05:17.519 --> 00:05:28.800
I was even hotter because I had a speaking engagement in Arizona and then I flew JSX from Arizona from Phoenix to uh Las Vegas airport for another conference that I had a keynote at.
00:05:29.120 --> 00:05:31.360
Wait, was that where the kid puked in the aisle?
00:05:31.680 --> 00:05:35.279
Yeah, he puked is a really great.
00:05:35.519 --> 00:05:38.160
If uh yeah, it was booked on JSX.
00:05:38.240 --> 00:05:39.279
I'd never flown it before.
00:05:39.360 --> 00:05:41.680
It's I've flown it to Napa a few times.
00:05:42.000 --> 00:05:43.920
Yeah, well, it's because it's an easy route.
00:05:44.079 --> 00:05:47.040
Yeah, it's like I think they fly up to like an hour and a half or something.
00:05:47.279 --> 00:05:50.319
It's not really much more expensive than a regular ticket.
00:05:50.399 --> 00:05:51.759
So and it's really I don't know.
00:05:51.920 --> 00:05:55.839
Regular tickets right now are so expensive, so probably what you're saying is absolutely accurate.
00:05:56.079 --> 00:06:06.399
But yeah, it was just a really pleasurable fight flight until the kid yeah, until like this kid literally projectiled and heaved all over the aisle.
00:06:06.560 --> 00:06:17.199
Uh it you know, and what was I was texting you because you you know they had good Wi-Fi on there, it's like, oh, a kid just heaved all over the aisle, just just a disaster.
00:06:17.439 --> 00:06:23.120
I mean, it not only when they thought it was done, they started cleaning up, but then he just heaved all over again.
00:06:23.279 --> 00:06:25.199
It was just the whole thing was a disaster.
00:06:25.360 --> 00:06:27.759
But it's it's malady, it definitely started to stink.
00:06:27.920 --> 00:06:31.040
And the and the flight attendant to her credit was actually really nice.
00:06:31.199 --> 00:06:43.759
And I, for as much as I was like, well, this sort of like ruins a little bit of the ambiance, but I didn't say anything because I well, you and I have been in that situation before in various ways, so it's hard to get mad.
00:06:43.920 --> 00:06:53.199
And then, of course, I also started seeing the wife get mad at the dad, who I don't think he did anything wrong, unless maybe he fed the kid ice cream or something like that.
00:06:53.439 --> 00:06:59.199
She was like, You shouldn't have given him the juice packet, and then it was and then you're cleaning it wrong, and oh my gosh, you're holding him wrong.
00:06:59.279 --> 00:07:00.240
Now he's throwing up again.
00:07:00.399 --> 00:07:07.839
Like she was on him, and you could just tell that there was nothing he could do to uh do the right thing in her eyes.
00:07:08.000 --> 00:07:10.000
And uh anyway, that was my trip there.
00:07:10.160 --> 00:07:15.920
But uh, both of those places were hotter than um Los Angeles, but they were less humid.
00:07:16.319 --> 00:07:19.120
I was gonna say they didn't have the humidity, so you had that dry heat.
00:07:19.279 --> 00:07:21.279
Yeah, it was it was unbelievable.
00:07:21.519 --> 00:07:28.879
Now, one other thing I'm gonna bring up, and I'm not gonna say the hotel uh because I don't think it's fair because they didn't end up charging me, but boy, did it make me mad.
00:07:29.120 --> 00:07:35.680
Now, you know that I never trust the laundry services at like the dry cleaning or whatever at these hotels.
00:07:35.759 --> 00:07:38.720
Like it's always I feel like it's playing roulette.
00:07:39.040 --> 00:07:46.319
It's like, okay, you're gonna get it back in my room in 12 hours or in 24 hours, it's gotta be there because I need to wear it.
00:07:46.399 --> 00:07:47.839
And of course, I did it.
00:07:48.079 --> 00:07:51.040
There was one shirt where you folded it perfectly.
00:07:51.120 --> 00:08:01.920
I needed to wear it for one of the events, and it it had like a little bit of a crease, and the bell hop talked me into using like I had four free press shirts or something on my my room.
00:08:02.000 --> 00:08:05.120
So he's like, Go have a press, it will be back in two hours.
00:08:05.360 --> 00:08:06.079
Well, guess what?
00:08:06.399 --> 00:08:07.120
It wasn't back in two hours.
00:08:07.360 --> 00:08:09.680
I got back uh five hours later, it wasn't there.
00:08:09.759 --> 00:08:14.399
So then I called down and it wasn't there after six hours, and then I had to take get in the shower.
00:08:14.480 --> 00:08:16.319
So it said, leave it, tell them to come in.
00:08:16.399 --> 00:08:20.800
I'm in the shower, I'll lock the bathroom door or whatever, and leave a uh leave a tip, leave it there.
00:08:20.879 --> 00:08:26.079
I get out of the shower, it's not there, and then suddenly I'm like, I gotta go to this thing, so I had to scrap for another thing.
00:08:26.160 --> 00:08:33.919
It made me so upset because I was like, my instinct is always don't trust the laundry service, no matter how nice the hotel, it always messes it up.
00:08:34.159 --> 00:08:35.120
But you got it eventually.
00:08:35.360 --> 00:08:40.240
I got the yeah, I got the shirt back, but like after you know, after it was needed.
00:08:40.799 --> 00:08:42.320
I guess I wore it in Canada.
00:08:42.480 --> 00:08:43.919
I looked a little extra fancy.
00:08:44.320 --> 00:08:45.360
I like getting dressed.
00:08:47.200 --> 00:08:50.000
I like getting dressed when I go on vacation or I go any place.
00:08:50.080 --> 00:08:52.240
In fact, my sister and I have this conversation all the time.
00:08:52.559 --> 00:08:53.840
My sister loves to travel.
00:08:53.919 --> 00:08:58.799
She is definitely, you know, the the world traveler of the family.
00:08:59.039 --> 00:09:04.320
And um but when we go away as a family, I think she and I always compare our outfits.
00:09:04.480 --> 00:09:05.679
What are we bringing?
00:09:05.919 --> 00:09:09.679
The purses, the shoes, all the accessories.
00:09:09.840 --> 00:09:10.639
We get dressed.
00:09:10.720 --> 00:09:17.360
So I mean, I think I was probably dressed for for our dinners maybe a little more than I needed to be, but that's that's just who I am.
00:09:17.440 --> 00:09:18.159
I like doing that.
00:09:18.399 --> 00:09:24.240
And I and I'm also gonna add that the hosts of that conference were just off the charts great.
00:09:24.320 --> 00:09:28.399
And so wait, we're talking about different things right now because I'm talking about Montreal dinners.
00:09:28.480 --> 00:09:29.279
You're going back to the city.
00:09:29.440 --> 00:09:32.480
But you're talking about my shirt at the Montreal dinners and the fact that I dressed up.
00:09:32.879 --> 00:09:35.519
I thought, well, I thought we This is how we roll.
00:09:35.679 --> 00:09:38.720
We I'm sick, so I don't have my ADD medicine in today.
00:09:38.799 --> 00:09:39.679
I had to take other stuff.
00:09:40.320 --> 00:09:43.679
So not only do I have the cough, but I have you ping-ponging back and forth.
00:09:43.919 --> 00:09:44.240
100%.
00:09:44.720 --> 00:09:46.480
But I just want to give a shout-out to the hosts.
00:09:46.559 --> 00:09:47.039
They were great.
00:09:47.120 --> 00:09:48.320
And the conference was incredible.
00:09:48.799 --> 00:09:51.840
Okay, but we ended that conversation like three minutes ago.
00:09:52.080 --> 00:09:53.919
Okay, well, I brought it back to life.
00:09:54.240 --> 00:09:55.840
Well, what else are you gonna bring back to life?
00:09:56.080 --> 00:09:58.720
Um, well, what what else do you want to talk about?
00:09:58.799 --> 00:10:04.960
I could bring back the fact that you look more beautiful now that we've been married 22 years than you did even when we first got married.
00:10:05.200 --> 00:10:06.639
So are you saying I was ugly when we got married?
00:10:06.879 --> 00:10:13.360
No, I'm saying like you look younger now, you're unbelievably just talented and beautiful, and you glow.
00:10:13.679 --> 00:10:18.399
Well, I'm glowing because I'm sweaty because I'm in periomenopause and it's freaking hot out.
00:10:18.720 --> 00:10:25.679
Okay, so you're you're gonna downplay my incredible compliments for you, and I'm very complimentary of you, and I think you're awesome, and thank you.
00:10:26.080 --> 00:10:26.639
Thank you.
00:10:27.200 --> 00:10:29.279
You're a bright sun on a cloudy day.
00:10:29.519 --> 00:10:29.840
Uh huh.
00:10:29.919 --> 00:10:31.840
I mean, I'm super appreciative.
00:10:32.399 --> 00:10:32.639
Thank you.
00:10:33.120 --> 00:10:35.759
I feel like maybe that could have been written in the anniversary card.
00:10:36.080 --> 00:10:37.360
Uh, I did write it in there.
00:10:37.600 --> 00:10:37.840
Did you?
00:10:38.000 --> 00:10:39.360
Yeah, I had some pretty good words in that.
00:10:39.600 --> 00:10:39.840
Did you?
00:10:39.919 --> 00:10:40.159
Oh, yeah.
00:10:40.639 --> 00:10:41.679
Did you use Chat GPT?
00:10:41.840 --> 00:10:42.080
No.
00:10:42.320 --> 00:10:42.720
Are you sure?
00:10:43.120 --> 00:10:43.360
Possibly.
00:10:43.679 --> 00:10:44.960
Can I tell you something and you can't get mad at me?
00:10:45.360 --> 00:10:46.480
Don't use it with me.
00:10:46.720 --> 00:10:53.519
I have in the past use chat GBT to help me.
00:10:54.480 --> 00:10:57.519
And maybe it was like a Father's Day card or a birthday card.
00:10:57.600 --> 00:11:00.000
It was definitely not this year's anniversary card.
00:11:00.080 --> 00:11:01.519
I can say that with certainty.
00:11:02.000 --> 00:11:08.159
But I can also say with certainty that I have had chat help me come up with something very loving to say to you.
00:11:08.240 --> 00:11:08.960
Is that bad?
00:11:09.440 --> 00:11:13.360
We really are relying on the robots and they really are taking the world down.
00:11:13.440 --> 00:11:14.080
Isn't that true?
00:11:14.639 --> 00:11:19.279
Is this sort of my my kind of premise for the evening?
00:11:19.519 --> 00:11:21.360
That we're all gonna die because the robots?
00:11:22.320 --> 00:11:24.720
Well, I don't know if you wanted to talk about that today.
00:11:25.039 --> 00:11:35.279
Well, but we're going into it because I just admitted the fact that Chat GBT is writing my love notes to you either on birthdays or on holidays, or I'm I'm sorry.
00:11:35.440 --> 00:11:40.960
I I just have a lot of things, so I feel like I'm outsourcing and I'm using my resources efficiently.
00:11:41.279 --> 00:11:55.360
Well, can I just tell you the the part that's scary over the weekend is a lot of people started to see all this doomsday or stuff about AI and how Which I I will say, to Chris Fenton's credit, you have been riding this doomsday.
00:11:57.120 --> 00:12:11.759
No, but you've been you've been leading it, and we've had conversations with friends that we go, you know, on a weekly walk with, and you have talked about it to a point where I think I had to pull you aside one evening and say, Hey Chris, like I'm sorry, can we go back to Rainbows and Unicorns?
00:12:11.919 --> 00:12:22.000
Because you're really depressing everybody with this with this premise that AI is gonna take over the world, there's gonna be no jobs, our kids are gonna, you know, gonna be screwed, and we're all gonna die.
00:12:22.320 --> 00:12:33.679
And cut two, we have you know, this AI kind of warning and and because apparently we only have five years left.
00:12:34.000 --> 00:12:35.440
Well, no, that's not it.
00:12:35.600 --> 00:12:46.559
He said there's there's been a couple of these founders, emoti and and Sam Altman, who have who have sort of been tied to the hip on this idea, and Altman is a lot more reckless.
00:12:46.639 --> 00:12:58.720
Umody seems to be much more um he seems to be a little more cognizant of the humanity involved, but they both came out and said there's a there is a better than zero probability that the end of the world comes.
00:12:58.879 --> 00:13:02.960
Um, you know, there's different percentages they put and different timelines they put.
00:13:03.039 --> 00:13:14.000
But the reality is this I look at how fast it's progressed, and I don't have access to the best stuff, but I use it a lot, I teach it a lot at at at USC.
00:13:14.480 --> 00:13:21.200
Um where it's come from from Will Smith eating spaghetti a couple years ago is just insane.
00:13:21.440 --> 00:13:26.799
And to think that it it's speeds, the speed of improvement is exponential.
00:13:27.200 --> 00:13:32.399
I just don't think anybody can really comprehend how advanced it's gonna be in just one year.
00:13:32.559 --> 00:13:40.879
I mean, it's literally gonna be ten times, a hundred times better than it is now in one year, and then another year it's gonna be a thousand times better.
00:13:41.039 --> 00:13:43.039
I mean, just try to comprehend that.
00:13:43.200 --> 00:13:47.120
It's always when I when I think about earthquake, uh, the Richter scale, right?
00:13:47.200 --> 00:13:58.879
People don't really realize that you know a 7.0 earthquake is ten times stronger than a six point zone like imagine living through a six point z like we sort of did, there was a six point three.
00:13:59.360 --> 00:14:00.240
What the North Ridgequake?
00:14:00.399 --> 00:14:02.320
Yeah, Northridge quake or whatever it was.
00:14:03.120 --> 00:14:06.159
If you had a six point four, it would have been twice as much, right?
00:14:06.240 --> 00:14:08.879
And you go, wow, twice as crazy as that.
00:14:09.039 --> 00:14:11.919
Well, then then you think, well, what about ten times stronger?
00:14:12.080 --> 00:14:14.799
And that's that's the crazy part about this.
00:14:14.879 --> 00:14:17.679
Like our microchips are getting amazingly fast.
00:14:17.919 --> 00:14:26.639
Um the pursuit of it to beat China, the pursuit of it for money, the fact that our financial system is completely riding on its success.
00:14:26.799 --> 00:14:36.240
It's obviously a too big to fail industry, and the fact that people are now actually concerned that we gotta really put some sandbox rules around this thing.
00:14:36.320 --> 00:14:38.720
But I I just don't have hope that we're gonna be able to figure that out.
00:14:39.039 --> 00:14:44.080
You don't I mean that was gonna be my next question is because enough people have raised the alarms.
00:14:44.159 --> 00:15:00.879
I mean, we even have Bernie Sanders and um uh uh Steve Bannon Steve Bannon who are both jumping on the same bandwagon that something needs to be done, although I don't think they can necessarily agree on the actual approach, but you are getting enough people saying, We got to do something about this.
00:15:01.120 --> 00:15:13.360
So, given that, is it kinda is it kind of like climate, you know, climate change, things like that, where enough people are saying it and finally it's getting some traction, and maybe we're gonna halt this a little bit.
00:15:13.679 --> 00:15:15.519
Okay, so that will bring me to the other topic.
00:15:15.600 --> 00:15:21.200
Um, well, number one is I I'll blow some minds out there in terms of Bernie and Steve Bannon.
00:15:21.360 --> 00:15:25.200
Steve Bannon actually wanted to run Bernie Sanders' campaign in 2015.
00:15:25.279 --> 00:15:25.440
Yeah.
00:15:25.759 --> 00:15:26.320
How did you know this?
00:15:26.480 --> 00:15:30.879
And Bernie wanted to do a grassroots thing without like a main quarterback campaign.
00:15:31.519 --> 00:15:32.159
How do you know this?
00:15:32.720 --> 00:15:34.399
Uh you have your ways, don't you?
00:15:34.639 --> 00:15:36.000
Yeah, and you know exactly.
00:15:36.080 --> 00:15:38.480
You were there when I was told that by him.
00:15:38.720 --> 00:15:39.440
So anyway.
00:15:39.840 --> 00:15:40.879
I'm just being a good journalist.
00:15:41.039 --> 00:15:42.240
I'm gonna add that to my resume.
00:15:42.639 --> 00:15:46.960
Yes, uh it that's a first hand source being Steve Gannon himself.
00:15:47.440 --> 00:15:52.480
The um second thing I'm gonna bring up is this idea that, well, now everybody's cognizant of it.
00:15:52.720 --> 00:15:58.000
Well, we like to watch what the news is doing at night, the national news.
00:15:58.080 --> 00:16:02.159
So I'm talking about ABC News, CBS News, NBC News.
00:16:02.320 --> 00:16:11.279
The thing that was a programmed schedule calendar event that my parents watched every night from 6:30 to 7.
00:16:11.440 --> 00:16:14.399
You know, that's how everybody got their global news.
00:16:14.480 --> 00:16:17.519
They knew what was happening around the country and around the world.
00:16:18.240 --> 00:16:29.440
The news stories that were focused on at the top of the hour all the way through were some Ed Sheeran, Makolo, or um Mekelaw.
00:16:29.919 --> 00:16:30.399
How do you say?
00:16:30.639 --> 00:16:31.759
Some controversy there.
00:16:31.840 --> 00:16:34.960
It's an Israeli-Palestinian thing that he got in the middle of.
00:16:35.039 --> 00:16:42.159
I don't I don't know who's on what side, and I I don't care because that well, I do care about the issue, but I don't care that we're McLamore.
00:16:42.320 --> 00:16:43.200
Okay, Macklemore.
00:16:43.279 --> 00:16:52.240
I don't care that we're actually spending time away from things that are like like humanity issues.
00:16:52.799 --> 00:17:09.759
I'm gonna push back and I'm gonna say that this is important because Ed Sheeran kicked him off, kicked Macklamore off the tour because during the concert, McLamore gave a pro-Palestine sort of, I don't know, I wasn't at the concert, but I think it was very it was a pro-Palestine message.
00:17:09.920 --> 00:17:10.240
Okay.
00:17:10.720 --> 00:17:17.920
And my understanding, and I could be wrong, so if I am wrong, please feel free to write into Chris because I'm still private.
00:17:18.160 --> 00:17:29.759
Um, my understanding is that people at the concert were really upset about the message, and Ed Sharon, because he is the boss, he well, he's the boss, but he's also pro-Israel.
00:17:29.839 --> 00:17:35.839
I don't know if he's Jewish, um, but he did not like these said comments and kicked him off the tour.
00:17:35.920 --> 00:17:44.559
And when he kicked McLamore off the tour, the rest of the artists were like, peace out, we're not gonna be on this because you're stifling our free speech.
00:17:44.799 --> 00:17:45.039
Okay.
00:17:45.359 --> 00:17:56.160
So they were making so they were more in favor of the pro-Palestine comments than they were understanding Ed Sharon's perspective of being pro-Israel.
00:17:56.319 --> 00:18:03.839
So I actually think he was standing up for Israel, for the Jews, and and you know, people who who believe in that, which is we do too.
00:18:04.079 --> 00:18:07.599
Well, look, we're mostly a Jewish household and a Jew, mostly a Jewish family.
00:18:07.759 --> 00:18:13.039
I'm the the ex sort of the exception a little bit, and um, maybe one of our kids.
00:18:13.279 --> 00:18:18.400
But the reality is uh that Ed was right.
00:18:18.559 --> 00:18:19.200
Yeah, he's the boss.
00:18:19.759 --> 00:18:20.000
I agree.
00:18:20.240 --> 00:18:23.599
I don't know if politics was something that was allowed to be.
00:18:23.839 --> 00:18:25.359
I mean, you go to a free speech.
00:18:25.519 --> 00:18:27.440
But here's the thing, you go to a no, it's not free speech.
00:18:27.599 --> 00:18:28.000
It's a business.
00:18:28.480 --> 00:18:29.279
No, it's a business.
00:18:29.519 --> 00:18:34.000
You can't you can't be out there part of somebody else's tour and take a political stance.
00:18:34.160 --> 00:18:43.599
It'd be like if you're out there on CNBC as a JP Morgan executive and you say, you know, I'm pro-Israel or poor power, whatever the the stance is.
00:18:43.759 --> 00:18:46.640
Now, he's Macle or whatever his name is.
00:18:46.799 --> 00:18:49.279
He was on the wrong side of the equation in terms of the way I think.
00:18:49.440 --> 00:18:55.680
But regardless, the fact that you took a political position on somebody else's tour, that person's tour, they have every right to fire him.
00:18:55.839 --> 00:18:56.480
That's a business.
00:18:56.640 --> 00:18:58.319
That's not a free speech platform.
00:18:58.640 --> 00:19:01.839
What do you think about all the other artists that said, peace out, we're leaving too.
00:19:01.920 --> 00:19:05.200
If you if you cancel Macklemore, then we're not going to stand for that.
00:19:05.519 --> 00:19:12.079
Well, I think they're on the wrong side of what a private business enterprise is allowed to do.
00:19:12.240 --> 00:19:15.039
I think free speech rights are absolutely essential.
00:19:15.279 --> 00:19:18.400
I think Macle Roar, McLarer either.
00:19:19.680 --> 00:19:25.920
He could go to the town square and yell at the top of his lungs whatever position he wants, but to do it on Ed Sheeran stage.
00:19:26.079 --> 00:19:32.480
Maybe Ed wasn't on the stage at that time, but it was the Ed Sheeran like concert tour with Mekolo or whatever his name is.
00:19:34.079 --> 00:19:36.079
I know you didn't take your ADD medicine, you cannot remember.
00:19:36.319 --> 00:19:38.160
But here's here's the point I brought up.
00:19:38.319 --> 00:19:47.920
Okay, we have an Iran conflict, we have a Ukrainian-Russian conflict, and we have AI real seriousness going on right now.
00:19:48.160 --> 00:19:53.279
And I watched that news to just see when they actually tackle those subjects.
00:19:53.440 --> 00:20:06.240
We went from Ed Sheerhan to a dude launching fireworks at a car to an Archie Manning controversy about some video he laughed at, to mail and balloting getting shut down by the by SCOTUS.
00:20:06.400 --> 00:20:10.079
I would argue maybe that's that's a pretty big issue, you know, one side or the other.
00:20:10.480 --> 00:20:13.440
But then the Kennedy Center won't allow Trump's name on it.
00:20:13.519 --> 00:20:14.079
Like, whatever.
00:20:14.160 --> 00:20:16.000
That's like a trolling idiotic thing.
00:20:16.079 --> 00:20:19.279
And why why do like, yes, I want to keep the Kennedy name on there?
00:20:19.359 --> 00:20:22.240
It's just ridiculous that Trump wants to have his name on, but whatever.
00:20:22.480 --> 00:20:27.119
Is that really ahead of Iran conflict, Russia, Ukraine, and AI?
00:20:27.200 --> 00:20:35.920
All three of those have the potential of turning into something that could be a detriment to humanity across the globe.
00:20:36.079 --> 00:20:39.279
Oh, and then there was a plane that had a tricky landing, but everything was safe.
00:20:39.440 --> 00:20:39.759
Okay.
00:20:40.160 --> 00:20:40.960
That is the problem.
00:20:41.039 --> 00:20:49.599
You say everybody's aware of this stuff, but I would argue, as Dylan would say, and I never heard the the the term which is so bad.
00:20:50.000 --> 00:20:50.480
But it's true.
00:20:51.039 --> 00:20:56.079
He says it's a Psyop operation where everybody talks, they would get you talking about bread and bread and circus.
00:20:57.119 --> 00:21:00.160
Yeah, like, oh, the circus is fun, NFL's fun, you know, NASCAR is a good one.
00:21:00.319 --> 00:21:00.720
Look over here.
00:21:00.799 --> 00:21:07.200
I mean, he even says, he's like, hey, if I as long as I have my Monday night football and, you know, I can drink a beer, I'm happy.
00:21:07.279 --> 00:21:08.880
I'm just not gonna pay attention to it.
00:21:09.440 --> 00:21:13.440
Make sure you have the cheap Buffalo Wild Wings and the beer and all that stuff.
00:21:13.519 --> 00:21:20.559
Like, you know, it's a little feed them and entertain them, and they won't think about all the other stuff, which is like a Can I tell you something?
00:21:20.640 --> 00:21:32.319
It's a little bit like the mentality that you talked about in your book, Feeding the Dragon, which was, you know, in China, keep civilization and keep the, you know, the community just happy enough so they don't revolt.
00:21:32.640 --> 00:21:32.960
Exactly.
00:21:33.119 --> 00:21:34.160
That's what that's what's happening.
00:21:34.400 --> 00:21:48.079
And it goes back to the medieval times, the way they used certain, you know, you know, whether it was witchcraft or, you know, uh certain things that they got the populace all upset at each other with, you know, um, you know, immigration, whatever it is.
00:21:48.240 --> 00:21:55.039
Like, look over there, go be angry about that while we, you know, take over the world and make you not think about the important things.
00:21:55.200 --> 00:21:56.400
That's the Bread and Circus.
00:21:56.559 --> 00:22:02.960
And I watch the news tonight and I give a shout out to Dylan Hudson Fenton for calling it.
00:22:03.119 --> 00:22:09.680
It is a bread and circus psyops that's trying to divert our attention from things that actually really matter.
00:22:09.920 --> 00:22:10.799
So I don't know.
00:22:10.880 --> 00:22:15.920
It's hard not to be hopeful about it, but I just hope there's adults in the room that deal with some of these things.
00:22:16.160 --> 00:22:29.359
I mean, I will tell you that when I go onto my phone and I'm looking at the news app, the top stories, uh, we have the Iranian strikes have damaged hundreds of the structures at US bases.
00:22:29.759 --> 00:22:30.799
But you do have cookies that are.
00:22:38.720 --> 00:22:42.480
Uh, top AI companies are asking for supervision.
00:22:42.799 --> 00:22:46.880
FBI chief Cash Patel defends hiring policy changes.
00:22:47.200 --> 00:22:53.440
Then we get into all supporting acts on Ed Sharon's US tour quit after MacLamore's dropped.
00:22:53.839 --> 00:22:56.160
So there is a little bit of that.
00:22:56.319 --> 00:23:01.440
I saw earlier today it talked about how much this uh this war is costing us.
00:23:01.920 --> 00:23:04.480
That was uh, you know, a headline that I saw.
00:23:04.799 --> 00:23:09.279
Yeah, and that's um that's a number that for some reason it's a lot of people.
00:23:09.519 --> 00:23:10.319
What is it compared to?
00:23:10.960 --> 00:23:13.359
Well, so what is the number that they were reporting?
00:23:13.440 --> 00:23:14.480
Um let me see if I can find it.
00:23:14.880 --> 00:23:15.119
I don't know.
00:23:15.200 --> 00:23:16.480
It's in the hundreds of billions, I'm sure.
00:23:16.880 --> 00:23:17.200
Certainly.
00:23:17.440 --> 00:23:32.880
And then they try to distract you with, oh, we caught these people that had a million-dollar insurance fraud scam against uh, you know, Social Security or against uh, you know, um California, you know, health plan or whatever it is.
00:23:33.039 --> 00:23:36.000
Like they, oh, look over there, it's a million-dollar scam.
00:23:36.160 --> 00:23:51.440
No, what's going on is we're anyway, I don't want to get all into it because it it does get depressing and we love to follow like talk about really fun stuff, but I do implore everybody that's listening to this to pay attention to some of these things that are starting to spiral a bit.
00:23:51.519 --> 00:23:58.480
I mean, this Ukrainian-Russian conflict is not going the right direction, it's escalating.
00:23:58.640 --> 00:24:03.519
The Iranian conflict has now really become a hoothy um issue.
00:24:03.680 --> 00:24:06.960
It's become the KSA, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
00:24:07.200 --> 00:24:12.319
You have a lot of players in the Gulf Nation that are just beside themselves on how to handle this.
00:24:12.400 --> 00:24:15.440
We have two choke points in the Red Sea and the Strait of Hormuz.
00:24:15.519 --> 00:24:18.000
We have east-west pipelines that have been bombed.
00:24:18.079 --> 00:24:27.839
Um, and then on top of it, in the Ukrainian-Russian conflict, we're seeing energy refinement and energy depots and refineries and storage tanks all getting blown.
00:24:28.079 --> 00:24:40.240
Like this is all going to come home to roost, and we need to be aware of it, and we need to talk to the people that we put in office to spend time on that versus whatever else they're doing.
00:24:40.400 --> 00:24:42.559
Oh, and by the way, Mitch McConnell showed up.
00:24:42.880 --> 00:24:43.359
Good.
00:24:43.519 --> 00:24:44.319
Did you see him?
00:24:44.559 --> 00:24:45.680
Well, I I wasn't there.
00:24:45.839 --> 00:24:49.200
He oh man, I I don't I not sure.
00:24:49.359 --> 00:24:56.400
I mean, I haven't seen too much of him other than what was the video clips, but it doesn't look like he's operating inside.
00:24:56.559 --> 00:24:59.759
I mean, he is alive, I think, as long as that's him.
00:25:00.240 --> 00:25:01.039
What do you think it is?
00:25:01.279 --> 00:25:01.680
I don't know.
00:25:02.400 --> 00:25:03.279
Is it like Tupac?
00:25:03.519 --> 00:25:04.640
I don't know, but it definitely doesn't.
00:25:05.839 --> 00:25:09.920
I just wish it it's I feel for him, I feel for his family.
00:25:10.079 --> 00:25:10.960
It's embarrassing.
00:25:11.039 --> 00:25:22.160
Like we we need to be able to honorably put people out on uh to retire at at an age where they're no longer fit for service in any business or in any political office.
00:25:22.240 --> 00:25:23.680
I don't understand why.
00:25:23.920 --> 00:25:32.400
I mean, I know why there's a political advantage in the gameanship and all that stuff, but why are we doing this to people and why are we doing this to our country?
00:25:32.640 --> 00:25:42.400
Um because when we do, we don't talk about it and people aren't aware of it, and we just move on to the bread and circus, as you say.
00:25:42.720 --> 00:25:43.839
The bread and circus.
00:25:44.000 --> 00:25:45.200
So what else?
00:25:45.519 --> 00:25:47.519
Montreal has great hotels and restaurants.
00:25:47.759 --> 00:25:49.680
Can I just say something about lacrosse?
00:25:49.839 --> 00:25:50.000
Yeah.
00:25:50.559 --> 00:25:51.599
Well, okay, so what happened?
00:25:51.680 --> 00:25:53.920
Did we talk about the the two games that were played?
00:25:54.079 --> 00:25:54.480
Who won?
00:25:54.799 --> 00:25:55.200
We did not.
00:25:55.359 --> 00:26:00.799
McGill won both games, the one on Saturday as well as the one on Sunday.
00:26:00.960 --> 00:26:04.799
So we are 2-0 at the start of our season, which is great.
00:26:04.960 --> 00:26:09.119
Uh, we've got a few more games coming up in the next few weeks.
00:26:09.279 --> 00:26:13.599
And hopefully, you know, our team makes it to the bag, which is gonna be in November.
00:26:13.839 --> 00:26:14.480
Hopefully.
00:26:14.799 --> 00:26:18.960
That that's that's sort of like, you know, the Stanley Cup if you're a hockey, you know, a hockey follower.
00:26:19.200 --> 00:26:26.799
Well, can we also talk about the maturity of our boys and the fact that not only are they all playing on the field together in this house of six lacrosse?
00:26:27.200 --> 00:26:32.079
Oh, that was the best when they're but they're also keeping a relatively clean house that we feel okay going into.
00:26:32.640 --> 00:26:32.960
Thank you.
00:26:33.039 --> 00:26:34.160
Thank you for reminding me.
00:26:34.640 --> 00:26:46.720
I uh I step foot in that house, and you know, you leave your kid after you move them into their off-campus property, and you sort of hope that they keep it in some level of you know, clean.
00:26:46.880 --> 00:26:48.480
And we did have a cleaning girl come.
00:26:48.559 --> 00:26:49.920
I'm not gonna, I'm not gonna deny that.
00:26:50.000 --> 00:26:58.640
But we haven't had the cleaning girl come in a few weeks, and they've had some parties and they've been living there, and they've been doing, you know, their two-a-days and their training camps, and now they're in school and practice.
00:26:58.799 --> 00:27:04.240
And I think all the parents were a little concerned on the uh the nature of the house and how it was gonna look.
00:27:04.319 --> 00:27:09.200
And when we walked in, it was actually really clean.
00:27:09.519 --> 00:27:12.880
And yes, all the boys are like, oh, well, we cleaned up for you to come.
00:27:13.039 --> 00:27:13.759
But you know what?
00:27:13.920 --> 00:27:20.400
I'm glad that they cleaned up for us to come because it shows us that they can clean up and they're not total knuckleheads.
00:27:20.559 --> 00:27:23.759
And the house, like, there wasn't crap all over the place.
00:27:23.920 --> 00:27:31.359
Dylan's room was, you know, in in total order, although he didn't make his bed, he has not necessarily learned how to do that yet.
00:27:31.519 --> 00:27:32.319
But uh, it's okay.
00:27:32.400 --> 00:27:37.359
I went in and I made it for him, and I hung a couple of pictures that we we ordered for the room.
00:27:37.519 --> 00:27:39.359
Um, but no, I'm so proud of those boys.
00:27:39.519 --> 00:27:40.400
They're cooking.
00:27:40.640 --> 00:27:43.759
In fact, going to the market with Dylan was hysterical.
00:27:44.000 --> 00:27:45.440
That was beyond hysterical.
00:27:45.680 --> 00:27:52.559
And and I I want to give a shout out to Kaylee Fenton because we're gonna have all kinds of stories from when you visit here, and then we have a parents' weekend coming up.
00:27:52.640 --> 00:27:54.480
So we'll we'll don't worry, Kaylee.
00:27:54.720 --> 00:27:56.960
We will spend lots of glazing on you too.
00:27:57.119 --> 00:27:58.720
Okay, so tell me about the grocery store.
00:27:58.960 --> 00:28:01.599
Okay, so we go to the grocery store because that's what parents do, right?
00:28:01.680 --> 00:28:04.880
Like when you're in town, you you load your kid up on what they need.
00:28:04.960 --> 00:28:08.480
And I think Dylan was a little reluctant to go to the grocery store because he had other things to do.
00:28:08.559 --> 00:28:12.079
But we're like, no, no, no, let's go to the grocery store, let us buy you food.
00:28:12.160 --> 00:28:17.200
And he then sort of looked at me and he's like, Well, mom, you already buy me food because I put the food on your credit card.
00:28:17.359 --> 00:28:18.400
So that is true.
00:28:18.640 --> 00:28:21.920
But he went through the aisles and he's very methodical.
00:28:22.000 --> 00:28:32.160
It's almost like he's on supermarket sweep, which anybody that knows Dylan and and myself knows that we totally want to go on that game show supermarket sweep.
00:28:32.319 --> 00:28:36.160
In fact, we have a team name, it's called the Dale Danishes.
00:28:36.319 --> 00:28:37.920
We take marketing very seriously.
00:28:38.240 --> 00:28:48.880
So, Dylan, you know, in his mind, maybe he's pretending he's on supermarket sweep, and he goes straight to the meat section because that's where he says he starts every single time.
00:28:49.119 --> 00:28:58.880
And he's looking at the meat, and you know, he doesn't really cook chicken yet because I think I've scared him with the the chicken disease notion that he's gonna get salmonella all over, you know, the the house.
00:28:59.119 --> 00:29:04.480
But he does cook the ground beef, the ground pork, the ground turkey, and he was looking.
00:29:04.559 --> 00:29:10.640
I mean, I think he I think he got steaks because I know that the boys are grilling and he's checking out the prices, and he's like, Oh, this is really a good deal.
00:29:10.880 --> 00:29:19.599
And then we start going from aisle to aisle, and he definitely has his map through the the supermarket where he likes to go, and he's like, I only look for things that are on sale.
00:29:19.680 --> 00:29:21.359
I'm like, dude, I'm I'm buying you groceries.
00:29:21.519 --> 00:29:22.079
Like, it's cool.
00:29:22.160 --> 00:29:24.480
He's like, Yeah, no, I'm I'm only buying things on sale.
00:29:25.039 --> 00:29:26.000
Okay, fine.
00:29:26.240 --> 00:29:35.279
And he only bought the chips that were on sale, and he only bought the you know the the the bread that was on sale, and he only bought he did buy cookies because that boy has a sweet tooth, and I think he bought some muffins too.
00:29:35.920 --> 00:29:40.079
But we asked if he knows did you want us to buy him any beer because the drinking age is 18 there.
00:29:40.160 --> 00:29:42.640
He's like, No, it's okay, I got I I took care of it.
00:29:42.880 --> 00:29:44.720
But he was very frugal.
00:29:44.880 --> 00:29:45.759
Can I even say that?
00:29:45.920 --> 00:30:05.839
Well, and what's what was the most hilarious part of it is that sometimes I will go grocery shopping with you, and I have to like really just take a backseat and do nothing, especially when the bagging portion comes, like just stay out of the way because you have such a particular way you bag stuff that heaven forbid I'd do anything with the bagging.
00:30:05.920 --> 00:30:09.279
I I'm I'm just there, I hold the cart, and then when it's done, I take it to the car.
00:30:09.599 --> 00:30:09.839
That's it.
00:30:10.000 --> 00:30:13.119
And then even when I get to the car, I put the wrong bag in first, or whatever it is.
00:30:13.279 --> 00:30:16.319
But but you and Dylan are the exact same.
00:30:16.480 --> 00:30:34.000
So he has whatever the system he's developed over the last three weeks, is a definitely inflexible system, and you kept pulling stuff out, and not only was he irritated by you trying to re-bag what he already wanted bagged in the way he wanted it bagged.
00:30:34.240 --> 00:30:42.880
I was bagging it for the biggest, but it was also taking the weight off the self-checkout and causing us to have to call the assistant over every time to reset the machine.
00:30:43.039 --> 00:30:48.079
It was so close to going to blows, it was unbelievable.
00:30:48.319 --> 00:30:52.640
Anyway, I think you even looked at the attendant and said, Oh, she's American.
00:30:52.880 --> 00:30:54.640
I think you totally mocked me.
00:30:54.799 --> 00:30:56.720
Oh my gosh, it was crazy.
00:30:56.960 --> 00:30:58.400
So um, I don't know.
00:30:58.480 --> 00:31:09.920
I think we sort of end on that for today because there's so much more to talk about, including, by the way, the American um federal production incentive is getting a lot of momentum this week.
00:31:10.000 --> 00:31:20.319
Uh, John Voigt's uh Donald Trump, then the Schiff and the you know, um Nathaniel Moran and the Ways and Means Committee are starting to combine with Reps Jack and Reps Friedman.
00:31:20.400 --> 00:31:24.880
And uh anyway, there's a an announcement coming tomorrow that's gonna really start moving this forward.
00:31:24.960 --> 00:31:28.640
We got to keep our fingers crossed so we can get this federal production incentive through.
00:31:28.880 --> 00:31:40.079
But just a shout out to the coalition in Hollywood that's been helping push this, all the individuals have been out there, um, bad counselors, which is showcased the beauty of an American-made movie, all that kind of stuff.
00:31:40.160 --> 00:31:40.880
We're just super excited.
00:31:40.960 --> 00:31:42.640
And that that's do you feel responsible?
00:31:42.720 --> 00:31:45.200
Do you feel a little bit like you you help make this happen?
00:31:45.440 --> 00:31:47.039
I'm a very small piece in the puzzle.
00:31:47.119 --> 00:31:52.160
Yeah, I'll I'll I'll admit I'm a very small piece in the puzzle, but it takes a village to get this done.
00:31:52.400 --> 00:31:54.799
Well, I'm happy that the village is getting this done, fingers crossed.
00:31:54.880 --> 00:31:58.880
Yeah, and no offense to Botswana or Barbados or whatever who's listening to this.
00:31:59.119 --> 00:32:04.240
Like, we'll we'll shoot stuff down there too when the plot's warranted, but we gotta keep some of our people employed here in the U.S.
00:32:04.480 --> 00:32:05.359
So I don't know.
00:32:05.519 --> 00:32:06.880
Anything else you want to say?
00:32:07.200 --> 00:32:07.599
Bye.
00:32:07.839 --> 00:32:09.359
Okay, well, you're just gonna say bye.
00:32:09.440 --> 00:32:10.400
I haven't even started.
00:32:10.799 --> 00:32:14.640
Oh, I haven't even started like our wait, I'm gonna do Austin Powers.
00:32:14.880 --> 00:32:16.559
I like Austin Powers to end these things.
00:32:16.720 --> 00:32:23.759
So you listen to Plate and Ponder Empty Nesting with Jen and Chris Fenton, um, all 32 30 uh of it.
00:32:23.920 --> 00:32:26.799
And we really appreciate you listening to this latest episode.
00:32:26.880 --> 00:32:28.000
We apologize for the pause.
00:32:28.160 --> 00:32:29.359
We will be back next week.
00:32:29.440 --> 00:32:33.519
I don't think we'll get one out before next Monday or Tuesday, but we love you.
00:32:33.680 --> 00:32:37.119
Keep DMing, keep engaged, follow, spread the word.
00:32:37.279 --> 00:32:39.759
Until next time, bye bye.
00:00:00.800 --> 00:00:01.360
Here we are.
00:00:01.439 --> 00:00:04.320
It's Plate and Ponder, Empty Nesting with Jenna Chris Fenton.
00:00:04.400 --> 00:00:12.480
I got a Wolfman Jack type of sound to me that is aging me as somebody who's old enough to know who Wolfman Jack is.
00:00:12.640 --> 00:00:16.320
I'm gonna dedicate um this episode to Fred C.
00:00:16.480 --> 00:00:21.600
Cohen, one of the great fathers, not only to his boys, but also to a lot of us his friends.
00:00:21.839 --> 00:00:27.199
Really excited to hang out with Greg Cohen, his son, coming up here soon at a Miami Hurricane game.
00:00:27.359 --> 00:00:31.920
Anyway, we are in officially 83 nations around the world.
00:00:32.079 --> 00:00:32.799
Can you believe that?
00:00:32.960 --> 00:00:40.479
I am gonna let I'm gonna just name really quick, and I'm here as you guys are probably having a sigh of relief with Jen Funten.
00:00:40.640 --> 00:00:40.880
Jen.
00:00:41.119 --> 00:00:42.399
Wait, you didn't even say my name right now.
00:00:43.280 --> 00:00:44.240
I don't know what I said there.
00:00:44.399 --> 00:00:45.359
You know we're married.
00:00:45.600 --> 00:00:46.000
We are.
00:00:46.159 --> 00:00:48.159
Have we been married for a certain amount of time?
00:00:48.399 --> 00:00:49.840
We've been married for a very long time.
00:00:50.079 --> 00:00:51.679
How long is that amount of time?
00:00:51.920 --> 00:00:55.840
We celebrated our 22nd wedding anniversary a few weeks ago.
00:00:56.000 --> 00:01:00.399
In fact, I think the last podcast we did was leading into it.
00:01:00.719 --> 00:01:02.960
Yeah, we um apologize.
00:01:03.200 --> 00:01:04.560
First of all, I'm under the weather.
00:01:04.719 --> 00:01:10.239
I was definitely under the weather last night when we got back from Montreal, and um, we were planning on doing one last night.
00:01:10.319 --> 00:01:13.040
So we're doing it tonight, and I'm gonna fight through it.
00:01:13.200 --> 00:01:19.200
Um, I will say it is pretty unbelievable to see how this grows even when we don't do episodes.
00:01:19.280 --> 00:01:28.480
But I will say also that I am one of my pet peeves is when I get into a podcast and they go a long stretch without their regular posting of a new episode.
00:01:28.560 --> 00:01:29.680
That drives me crazy.
00:01:29.760 --> 00:01:33.359
So if we drove you crazy, we um apologize for that.
00:01:33.439 --> 00:01:37.359
But I do want to thank Barbados, Botswana, the Cayman Islands.
00:01:37.439 --> 00:01:38.959
I wonder if that's Ryan Milconian.
00:01:40.239 --> 00:01:43.840
I want to do my 50th in a year and a half in the Caymans.
00:01:44.079 --> 00:01:44.799
That could be really fun.
00:01:45.120 --> 00:01:51.120
Slovakia, um, Paraguay, Kenya, El Salvador, and the Dominican Republic.
00:01:51.280 --> 00:01:53.200
Those are all the last ones that have joined us.
00:01:53.519 --> 00:01:54.480
We picked up some good ones.
00:01:54.719 --> 00:01:56.799
Yeah, so thank you everybody for joining us.
00:01:57.200 --> 00:02:00.079
Once again, Playton Ponder, Empty Nesting with Jen and Chris Fenton.
00:02:00.159 --> 00:02:03.840
Um, please download, enjoy, follow us, engage, DM us.
00:02:04.000 --> 00:02:06.799
Yes, even if you're upset that we haven't done it a new episode.
00:02:06.879 --> 00:02:08.639
And Jen doesn't even believe that.
00:02:08.719 --> 00:02:14.000
And then, of course, she comes in and I'm on the phone with somebody that calls, and the first thing they ask is like, where's a new episode?
00:02:14.080 --> 00:02:16.080
And I go, Okay, they're they're coming, they're coming.
00:02:16.159 --> 00:02:16.639
Um anyway.
00:02:16.960 --> 00:02:17.599
They're coming for us.
00:02:17.919 --> 00:02:18.400
Coming in hot.
00:02:19.199 --> 00:02:20.960
So there is just so much to talk about, Jen.
00:02:21.039 --> 00:02:26.000
What I mean, I you know the stuff I like talking about, but I don't know if that becomes a drone for everybody.
00:02:26.080 --> 00:02:30.400
So why don't you hit some of the subjects that we hit to kick this off, right?
00:02:30.639 --> 00:02:35.759
Okay, well, we were in Montreal, which means it is officially lacrosse season for us.
00:02:36.080 --> 00:02:37.439
Yes, yes, yes.
00:02:37.520 --> 00:02:40.000
And what happened over the weekend with this team?
00:02:40.240 --> 00:02:44.400
Well, we went to the opener uh at Molson.
00:02:44.719 --> 00:02:47.919
Oh, can I just say also that Montreal's weather was awesome?
00:02:48.319 --> 00:02:52.319
Oh, it was phenomenal, especially coming from Los Angeles when it was hotter than hell.
00:02:52.560 --> 00:02:57.120
Like I have never ever seen LA with temperatures like this.
00:02:57.280 --> 00:03:13.520
I, you know, born and raised here, obviously went to school back east, uh, have spent some time in some humid places, but you had like 90 hundred degree weather with crazy humidity that rivaled the the you know percentages Kaylee was getting in New Orleans.
00:03:13.759 --> 00:03:18.000
In fact, one night I think we said to her, we're like, oh my God, it's so hot and so humid.
00:03:18.159 --> 00:03:21.120
And Kaylee said, Oh no, it's definitely hotter and humid here.
00:03:21.199 --> 00:03:26.479
And we both pulled up our, you know, our our weather apps and we had the same humidity.
00:03:26.800 --> 00:03:32.960
Yeah, it's uh for anybody that's in SoCal, we've definitely had uh, I think a historic uh heat wave.
00:03:33.039 --> 00:03:35.039
We talked a little bit about it last time.
00:03:35.280 --> 00:03:39.759
It was just really nice to uh be in Montreal.
00:03:40.240 --> 00:03:42.879
Well, what's funny though is you know, I flew out.
00:03:43.039 --> 00:03:46.800
Oh, are we gonna get that cough throughout the entire podcast?
00:03:47.120 --> 00:03:50.240
So everybody knows I did uh there is COVID going around.
00:03:50.479 --> 00:03:52.000
It is not COVID, you tested.
00:03:52.240 --> 00:03:52.479
Right.
00:03:52.639 --> 00:03:56.639
So I did go get tested, as much as I think it's ridiculous.
00:03:56.800 --> 00:03:59.840
But I actually wanted to have, I mean, No, take it out of the universe.
00:04:00.080 --> 00:04:01.599
Stop, stop, stop, stop, don't even say it.
00:04:01.840 --> 00:04:07.680
There's a way to cure COVID where it's just the cure it, I still think that this strain that's going around is taking people down.
00:04:07.840 --> 00:04:14.479
In fact, I know two people who have said this round of COVID is worse than they ever had five years ago.
00:04:14.719 --> 00:04:15.520
Well, guess what?
00:04:15.599 --> 00:04:20.000
I just have an ordinary average cold or virus and it's how life is.
00:04:20.240 --> 00:04:26.319
You know, I'm actually I'm gonna tell you how selfish I am because I don't want to get sick.
00:04:26.480 --> 00:04:28.560
Um, I'm making him sleep in Kaylee's room.
00:04:28.720 --> 00:04:29.040
Yes.
00:04:29.199 --> 00:04:30.240
Sorry, Kaylee.
00:04:30.480 --> 00:04:33.759
Um I like I just I can't I can't get sick.
00:04:33.839 --> 00:04:36.639
I don't want to get sick, so you're sleeping in Kaylee's room.
00:04:36.800 --> 00:04:40.480
I like it too because if I have to cough, I don't feel like I have to be really quiet with the cop.
00:04:41.199 --> 00:04:42.160
Like I have to go.
00:04:43.680 --> 00:04:45.600
Anyway, um, okay, that's another one.
00:04:46.319 --> 00:04:53.600
Going to Montreal and coming from these crazy temperatures, I couldn't even fathom packing a jacket.
00:04:53.759 --> 00:04:59.519
I did muster a sweater, which is pretty good because it was a little chilly at one point during the day.
00:04:59.759 --> 00:05:01.040
And I'm glad I did.
00:05:01.279 --> 00:05:03.920
I think next time we go, I'm gonna have to bring a jacket.
00:05:04.000 --> 00:05:15.279
I feel like we are gonna be entering that fall season where even if it's you know 86 degrees in sunny Los Angeles, it's getting into those upper, well, maybe not upper, maybe mid-sixties.
00:05:15.680 --> 00:05:17.360
Well, I'm super excited about it.
00:05:17.519 --> 00:05:28.800
I was even hotter because I had a speaking engagement in Arizona and then I flew JSX from Arizona from Phoenix to uh Las Vegas airport for another conference that I had a keynote at.
00:05:29.120 --> 00:05:31.360
Wait, was that where the kid puked in the aisle?
00:05:31.680 --> 00:05:35.279
Yeah, he puked is a really great.
00:05:35.519 --> 00:05:38.160
If uh yeah, it was booked on JSX.
00:05:38.240 --> 00:05:39.279
I'd never flown it before.
00:05:39.360 --> 00:05:41.680
It's I've flown it to Napa a few times.
00:05:42.000 --> 00:05:43.920
Yeah, well, it's because it's an easy route.
00:05:44.079 --> 00:05:47.040
Yeah, it's like I think they fly up to like an hour and a half or something.
00:05:47.279 --> 00:05:50.319
It's not really much more expensive than a regular ticket.
00:05:50.399 --> 00:05:51.759
So and it's really I don't know.
00:05:51.920 --> 00:05:55.839
Regular tickets right now are so expensive, so probably what you're saying is absolutely accurate.
00:05:56.079 --> 00:06:06.399
But yeah, it was just a really pleasurable fight flight until the kid yeah, until like this kid literally projectiled and heaved all over the aisle.
00:06:06.560 --> 00:06:17.199
Uh it you know, and what was I was texting you because you you know they had good Wi-Fi on there, it's like, oh, a kid just heaved all over the aisle, just just a disaster.
00:06:17.439 --> 00:06:23.120
I mean, it not only when they thought it was done, they started cleaning up, but then he just heaved all over again.
00:06:23.279 --> 00:06:25.199
It was just the whole thing was a disaster.
00:06:25.360 --> 00:06:27.759
But it's it's malady, it definitely started to stink.
00:06:27.920 --> 00:06:31.040
And the and the flight attendant to her credit was actually really nice.
00:06:31.199 --> 00:06:43.759
And I, for as much as I was like, well, this sort of like ruins a little bit of the ambiance, but I didn't say anything because I well, you and I have been in that situation before in various ways, so it's hard to get mad.
00:06:43.920 --> 00:06:53.199
And then, of course, I also started seeing the wife get mad at the dad, who I don't think he did anything wrong, unless maybe he fed the kid ice cream or something like that.
00:06:53.439 --> 00:06:59.199
She was like, You shouldn't have given him the juice packet, and then it was and then you're cleaning it wrong, and oh my gosh, you're holding him wrong.
00:06:59.279 --> 00:07:00.240
Now he's throwing up again.
00:07:00.399 --> 00:07:07.839
Like she was on him, and you could just tell that there was nothing he could do to uh do the right thing in her eyes.
00:07:08.000 --> 00:07:10.000
And uh anyway, that was my trip there.
00:07:10.160 --> 00:07:15.920
But uh, both of those places were hotter than um Los Angeles, but they were less humid.
00:07:16.319 --> 00:07:19.120
I was gonna say they didn't have the humidity, so you had that dry heat.
00:07:19.279 --> 00:07:21.279
Yeah, it was it was unbelievable.
00:07:21.519 --> 00:07:28.879
Now, one other thing I'm gonna bring up, and I'm not gonna say the hotel uh because I don't think it's fair because they didn't end up charging me, but boy, did it make me mad.
00:07:29.120 --> 00:07:35.680
Now, you know that I never trust the laundry services at like the dry cleaning or whatever at these hotels.
00:07:35.759 --> 00:07:38.720
Like it's always I feel like it's playing roulette.
00:07:39.040 --> 00:07:46.319
It's like, okay, you're gonna get it back in my room in 12 hours or in 24 hours, it's gotta be there because I need to wear it.
00:07:46.399 --> 00:07:47.839
And of course, I did it.
00:07:48.079 --> 00:07:51.040
There was one shirt where you folded it perfectly.
00:07:51.120 --> 00:08:01.920
I needed to wear it for one of the events, and it it had like a little bit of a crease, and the bell hop talked me into using like I had four free press shirts or something on my my room.
00:08:02.000 --> 00:08:05.120
So he's like, Go have a press, it will be back in two hours.
00:08:05.360 --> 00:08:06.079
Well, guess what?
00:08:06.399 --> 00:08:07.120
It wasn't back in two hours.
00:08:07.360 --> 00:08:09.680
I got back uh five hours later, it wasn't there.
00:08:09.759 --> 00:08:14.399
So then I called down and it wasn't there after six hours, and then I had to take get in the shower.
00:08:14.480 --> 00:08:16.319
So it said, leave it, tell them to come in.
00:08:16.399 --> 00:08:20.800
I'm in the shower, I'll lock the bathroom door or whatever, and leave a uh leave a tip, leave it there.
00:08:20.879 --> 00:08:26.079
I get out of the shower, it's not there, and then suddenly I'm like, I gotta go to this thing, so I had to scrap for another thing.
00:08:26.160 --> 00:08:33.919
It made me so upset because I was like, my instinct is always don't trust the laundry service, no matter how nice the hotel, it always messes it up.
00:08:34.159 --> 00:08:35.120
But you got it eventually.
00:08:35.360 --> 00:08:40.240
I got the yeah, I got the shirt back, but like after you know, after it was needed.
00:08:40.799 --> 00:08:42.320
I guess I wore it in Canada.
00:08:42.480 --> 00:08:43.919
I looked a little extra fancy.
00:08:44.320 --> 00:08:45.360
I like getting dressed.
00:08:47.200 --> 00:08:50.000
I like getting dressed when I go on vacation or I go any place.
00:08:50.080 --> 00:08:52.240
In fact, my sister and I have this conversation all the time.
00:08:52.559 --> 00:08:53.840
My sister loves to travel.
00:08:53.919 --> 00:08:58.799
She is definitely, you know, the the world traveler of the family.
00:08:59.039 --> 00:09:04.320
And um but when we go away as a family, I think she and I always compare our outfits.
00:09:04.480 --> 00:09:05.679
What are we bringing?
00:09:05.919 --> 00:09:09.679
The purses, the shoes, all the accessories.
00:09:09.840 --> 00:09:10.639
We get dressed.
00:09:10.720 --> 00:09:17.360
So I mean, I think I was probably dressed for for our dinners maybe a little more than I needed to be, but that's that's just who I am.
00:09:17.440 --> 00:09:18.159
I like doing that.
00:09:18.399 --> 00:09:24.240
And I and I'm also gonna add that the hosts of that conference were just off the charts great.
00:09:24.320 --> 00:09:28.399
And so wait, we're talking about different things right now because I'm talking about Montreal dinners.
00:09:28.480 --> 00:09:29.279
You're going back to the city.
00:09:29.440 --> 00:09:32.480
But you're talking about my shirt at the Montreal dinners and the fact that I dressed up.
00:09:32.879 --> 00:09:35.519
I thought, well, I thought we This is how we roll.
00:09:35.679 --> 00:09:38.720
We I'm sick, so I don't have my ADD medicine in today.
00:09:38.799 --> 00:09:39.679
I had to take other stuff.
00:09:40.320 --> 00:09:43.679
So not only do I have the cough, but I have you ping-ponging back and forth.
00:09:43.919 --> 00:09:44.240
100%.
00:09:44.720 --> 00:09:46.480
But I just want to give a shout-out to the hosts.
00:09:46.559 --> 00:09:47.039
They were great.
00:09:47.120 --> 00:09:48.320
And the conference was incredible.
00:09:48.799 --> 00:09:51.840
Okay, but we ended that conversation like three minutes ago.
00:09:52.080 --> 00:09:53.919
Okay, well, I brought it back to life.
00:09:54.240 --> 00:09:55.840
Well, what else are you gonna bring back to life?
00:09:56.080 --> 00:09:58.720
Um, well, what what else do you want to talk about?
00:09:58.799 --> 00:10:04.960
I could bring back the fact that you look more beautiful now that we've been married 22 years than you did even when we first got married.
00:10:05.200 --> 00:10:06.639
So are you saying I was ugly when we got married?
00:10:06.879 --> 00:10:13.360
No, I'm saying like you look younger now, you're unbelievably just talented and beautiful, and you glow.
00:10:13.679 --> 00:10:18.399
Well, I'm glowing because I'm sweaty because I'm in periomenopause and it's freaking hot out.
00:10:18.720 --> 00:10:25.679
Okay, so you're you're gonna downplay my incredible compliments for you, and I'm very complimentary of you, and I think you're awesome, and thank you.
00:10:26.080 --> 00:10:26.639
Thank you.
00:10:27.200 --> 00:10:29.279
You're a bright sun on a cloudy day.
00:10:29.519 --> 00:10:29.840
Uh huh.
00:10:29.919 --> 00:10:31.840
I mean, I'm super appreciative.
00:10:32.399 --> 00:10:32.639
Thank you.
00:10:33.120 --> 00:10:35.759
I feel like maybe that could have been written in the anniversary card.
00:10:36.080 --> 00:10:37.360
Uh, I did write it in there.
00:10:37.600 --> 00:10:37.840
Did you?
00:10:38.000 --> 00:10:39.360
Yeah, I had some pretty good words in that.
00:10:39.600 --> 00:10:39.840
Did you?
00:10:39.919 --> 00:10:40.159
Oh, yeah.
00:10:40.639 --> 00:10:41.679
Did you use Chat GPT?
00:10:41.840 --> 00:10:42.080
No.
00:10:42.320 --> 00:10:42.720
Are you sure?
00:10:43.120 --> 00:10:43.360
Possibly.
00:10:43.679 --> 00:10:44.960
Can I tell you something and you can't get mad at me?
00:10:45.360 --> 00:10:46.480
Don't use it with me.
00:10:46.720 --> 00:10:53.519
I have in the past use chat GBT to help me.
00:10:54.480 --> 00:10:57.519
And maybe it was like a Father's Day card or a birthday card.
00:10:57.600 --> 00:11:00.000
It was definitely not this year's anniversary card.
00:11:00.080 --> 00:11:01.519
I can say that with certainty.
00:11:02.000 --> 00:11:08.159
But I can also say with certainty that I have had chat help me come up with something very loving to say to you.
00:11:08.240 --> 00:11:08.960
Is that bad?
00:11:09.440 --> 00:11:13.360
We really are relying on the robots and they really are taking the world down.
00:11:13.440 --> 00:11:14.080
Isn't that true?
00:11:14.639 --> 00:11:19.279
Is this sort of my my kind of premise for the evening?
00:11:19.519 --> 00:11:21.360
That we're all gonna die because the robots?
00:11:22.320 --> 00:11:24.720
Well, I don't know if you wanted to talk about that today.
00:11:25.039 --> 00:11:35.279
Well, but we're going into it because I just admitted the fact that Chat GBT is writing my love notes to you either on birthdays or on holidays, or I'm I'm sorry.
00:11:35.440 --> 00:11:40.960
I I just have a lot of things, so I feel like I'm outsourcing and I'm using my resources efficiently.
00:11:41.279 --> 00:11:55.360
Well, can I just tell you the the part that's scary over the weekend is a lot of people started to see all this doomsday or stuff about AI and how Which I I will say, to Chris Fenton's credit, you have been riding this doomsday.
00:11:57.120 --> 00:12:11.759
No, but you've been you've been leading it, and we've had conversations with friends that we go, you know, on a weekly walk with, and you have talked about it to a point where I think I had to pull you aside one evening and say, Hey Chris, like I'm sorry, can we go back to Rainbows and Unicorns?
00:12:11.919 --> 00:12:22.000
Because you're really depressing everybody with this with this premise that AI is gonna take over the world, there's gonna be no jobs, our kids are gonna, you know, gonna be screwed, and we're all gonna die.
00:12:22.320 --> 00:12:33.679
And cut two, we have you know, this AI kind of warning and and because apparently we only have five years left.
00:12:34.000 --> 00:12:35.440
Well, no, that's not it.
00:12:35.600 --> 00:12:46.559
He said there's there's been a couple of these founders, emoti and and Sam Altman, who have who have sort of been tied to the hip on this idea, and Altman is a lot more reckless.
00:12:46.639 --> 00:12:58.720
Umody seems to be much more um he seems to be a little more cognizant of the humanity involved, but they both came out and said there's a there is a better than zero probability that the end of the world comes.
00:12:58.879 --> 00:13:02.960
Um, you know, there's different percentages they put and different timelines they put.
00:13:03.039 --> 00:13:14.000
But the reality is this I look at how fast it's progressed, and I don't have access to the best stuff, but I use it a lot, I teach it a lot at at at USC.
00:13:14.480 --> 00:13:21.200
Um where it's come from from Will Smith eating spaghetti a couple years ago is just insane.
00:13:21.440 --> 00:13:26.799
And to think that it it's speeds, the speed of improvement is exponential.
00:13:27.200 --> 00:13:32.399
I just don't think anybody can really comprehend how advanced it's gonna be in just one year.
00:13:32.559 --> 00:13:40.879
I mean, it's literally gonna be ten times, a hundred times better than it is now in one year, and then another year it's gonna be a thousand times better.
00:13:41.039 --> 00:13:43.039
I mean, just try to comprehend that.
00:13:43.200 --> 00:13:47.120
It's always when I when I think about earthquake, uh, the Richter scale, right?
00:13:47.200 --> 00:13:58.879
People don't really realize that you know a 7.0 earthquake is ten times stronger than a six point zone like imagine living through a six point z like we sort of did, there was a six point three.
00:13:59.360 --> 00:14:00.240
What the North Ridgequake?
00:14:00.399 --> 00:14:02.320
Yeah, Northridge quake or whatever it was.
00:14:03.120 --> 00:14:06.159
If you had a six point four, it would have been twice as much, right?
00:14:06.240 --> 00:14:08.879
And you go, wow, twice as crazy as that.
00:14:09.039 --> 00:14:11.919
Well, then then you think, well, what about ten times stronger?
00:14:12.080 --> 00:14:14.799
And that's that's the crazy part about this.
00:14:14.879 --> 00:14:17.679
Like our microchips are getting amazingly fast.
00:14:17.919 --> 00:14:26.639
Um the pursuit of it to beat China, the pursuit of it for money, the fact that our financial system is completely riding on its success.
00:14:26.799 --> 00:14:36.240
It's obviously a too big to fail industry, and the fact that people are now actually concerned that we gotta really put some sandbox rules around this thing.
00:14:36.320 --> 00:14:38.720
But I I just don't have hope that we're gonna be able to figure that out.
00:14:39.039 --> 00:14:44.080
You don't I mean that was gonna be my next question is because enough people have raised the alarms.
00:14:44.159 --> 00:15:00.879
I mean, we even have Bernie Sanders and um uh uh Steve Bannon Steve Bannon who are both jumping on the same bandwagon that something needs to be done, although I don't think they can necessarily agree on the actual approach, but you are getting enough people saying, We got to do something about this.
00:15:01.120 --> 00:15:13.360
So, given that, is it kinda is it kind of like climate, you know, climate change, things like that, where enough people are saying it and finally it's getting some traction, and maybe we're gonna halt this a little bit.
00:15:13.679 --> 00:15:15.519
Okay, so that will bring me to the other topic.
00:15:15.600 --> 00:15:21.200
Um, well, number one is I I'll blow some minds out there in terms of Bernie and Steve Bannon.
00:15:21.360 --> 00:15:25.200
Steve Bannon actually wanted to run Bernie Sanders' campaign in 2015.
00:15:25.279 --> 00:15:25.440
Yeah.
00:15:25.759 --> 00:15:26.320
How did you know this?
00:15:26.480 --> 00:15:30.879
And Bernie wanted to do a grassroots thing without like a main quarterback campaign.
00:15:31.519 --> 00:15:32.159
How do you know this?
00:15:32.720 --> 00:15:34.399
Uh you have your ways, don't you?
00:15:34.639 --> 00:15:36.000
Yeah, and you know exactly.
00:15:36.080 --> 00:15:38.480
You were there when I was told that by him.
00:15:38.720 --> 00:15:39.440
So anyway.
00:15:39.840 --> 00:15:40.879
I'm just being a good journalist.
00:15:41.039 --> 00:15:42.240
I'm gonna add that to my resume.
00:15:42.639 --> 00:15:46.960
Yes, uh it that's a first hand source being Steve Gannon himself.
00:15:47.440 --> 00:15:52.480
The um second thing I'm gonna bring up is this idea that, well, now everybody's cognizant of it.
00:15:52.720 --> 00:15:58.000
Well, we like to watch what the news is doing at night, the national news.
00:15:58.080 --> 00:16:02.159
So I'm talking about ABC News, CBS News, NBC News.
00:16:02.320 --> 00:16:11.279
The thing that was a programmed schedule calendar event that my parents watched every night from 6:30 to 7.
00:16:11.440 --> 00:16:14.399
You know, that's how everybody got their global news.
00:16:14.480 --> 00:16:17.519
They knew what was happening around the country and around the world.
00:16:18.240 --> 00:16:29.440
The news stories that were focused on at the top of the hour all the way through were some Ed Sheeran, Makolo, or um Mekelaw.
00:16:29.919 --> 00:16:30.399
How do you say?
00:16:30.639 --> 00:16:31.759
Some controversy there.
00:16:31.840 --> 00:16:34.960
It's an Israeli-Palestinian thing that he got in the middle of.
00:16:35.039 --> 00:16:42.159
I don't I don't know who's on what side, and I I don't care because that well, I do care about the issue, but I don't care that we're McLamore.
00:16:42.320 --> 00:16:43.200
Okay, Macklemore.
00:16:43.279 --> 00:16:52.240
I don't care that we're actually spending time away from things that are like like humanity issues.
00:16:52.799 --> 00:17:09.759
I'm gonna push back and I'm gonna say that this is important because Ed Sheeran kicked him off, kicked Macklamore off the tour because during the concert, McLamore gave a pro-Palestine sort of, I don't know, I wasn't at the concert, but I think it was very it was a pro-Palestine message.
00:17:09.920 --> 00:17:10.240
Okay.
00:17:10.720 --> 00:17:17.920
And my understanding, and I could be wrong, so if I am wrong, please feel free to write into Chris because I'm still private.
00:17:18.160 --> 00:17:29.759
Um, my understanding is that people at the concert were really upset about the message, and Ed Sharon, because he is the boss, he well, he's the boss, but he's also pro-Israel.
00:17:29.839 --> 00:17:35.839
I don't know if he's Jewish, um, but he did not like these said comments and kicked him off the tour.
00:17:35.920 --> 00:17:44.559
And when he kicked McLamore off the tour, the rest of the artists were like, peace out, we're not gonna be on this because you're stifling our free speech.
00:17:44.799 --> 00:17:45.039
Okay.
00:17:45.359 --> 00:17:56.160
So they were making so they were more in favor of the pro-Palestine comments than they were understanding Ed Sharon's perspective of being pro-Israel.
00:17:56.319 --> 00:18:03.839
So I actually think he was standing up for Israel, for the Jews, and and you know, people who who believe in that, which is we do too.
00:18:04.079 --> 00:18:07.599
Well, look, we're mostly a Jewish household and a Jew, mostly a Jewish family.
00:18:07.759 --> 00:18:13.039
I'm the the ex sort of the exception a little bit, and um, maybe one of our kids.
00:18:13.279 --> 00:18:18.400
But the reality is uh that Ed was right.
00:18:18.559 --> 00:18:19.200
Yeah, he's the boss.
00:18:19.759 --> 00:18:20.000
I agree.
00:18:20.240 --> 00:18:23.599
I don't know if politics was something that was allowed to be.
00:18:23.839 --> 00:18:25.359
I mean, you go to a free speech.
00:18:25.519 --> 00:18:27.440
But here's the thing, you go to a no, it's not free speech.
00:18:27.599 --> 00:18:28.000
It's a business.
00:18:28.480 --> 00:18:29.279
No, it's a business.
00:18:29.519 --> 00:18:34.000
You can't you can't be out there part of somebody else's tour and take a political stance.
00:18:34.160 --> 00:18:43.599
It'd be like if you're out there on CNBC as a JP Morgan executive and you say, you know, I'm pro-Israel or poor power, whatever the the stance is.
00:18:43.759 --> 00:18:46.640
Now, he's Macle or whatever his name is.
00:18:46.799 --> 00:18:49.279
He was on the wrong side of the equation in terms of the way I think.
00:18:49.440 --> 00:18:55.680
But regardless, the fact that you took a political position on somebody else's tour, that person's tour, they have every right to fire him.
00:18:55.839 --> 00:18:56.480
That's a business.
00:18:56.640 --> 00:18:58.319
That's not a free speech platform.
00:18:58.640 --> 00:19:01.839
What do you think about all the other artists that said, peace out, we're leaving too.
00:19:01.920 --> 00:19:05.200
If you if you cancel Macklemore, then we're not going to stand for that.
00:19:05.519 --> 00:19:12.079
Well, I think they're on the wrong side of what a private business enterprise is allowed to do.
00:19:12.240 --> 00:19:15.039
I think free speech rights are absolutely essential.
00:19:15.279 --> 00:19:18.400
I think Macle Roar, McLarer either.
00:19:19.680 --> 00:19:25.920
He could go to the town square and yell at the top of his lungs whatever position he wants, but to do it on Ed Sheeran stage.
00:19:26.079 --> 00:19:32.480
Maybe Ed wasn't on the stage at that time, but it was the Ed Sheeran like concert tour with Mekolo or whatever his name is.
00:19:34.079 --> 00:19:36.079
I know you didn't take your ADD medicine, you cannot remember.
00:19:36.319 --> 00:19:38.160
But here's here's the point I brought up.
00:19:38.319 --> 00:19:47.920
Okay, we have an Iran conflict, we have a Ukrainian-Russian conflict, and we have AI real seriousness going on right now.
00:19:48.160 --> 00:19:53.279
And I watched that news to just see when they actually tackle those subjects.
00:19:53.440 --> 00:20:06.240
We went from Ed Sheerhan to a dude launching fireworks at a car to an Archie Manning controversy about some video he laughed at, to mail and balloting getting shut down by the by SCOTUS.
00:20:06.400 --> 00:20:10.079
I would argue maybe that's that's a pretty big issue, you know, one side or the other.
00:20:10.480 --> 00:20:13.440
But then the Kennedy Center won't allow Trump's name on it.
00:20:13.519 --> 00:20:14.079
Like, whatever.
00:20:14.160 --> 00:20:16.000
That's like a trolling idiotic thing.
00:20:16.079 --> 00:20:19.279
And why why do like, yes, I want to keep the Kennedy name on there?
00:20:19.359 --> 00:20:22.240
It's just ridiculous that Trump wants to have his name on, but whatever.
00:20:22.480 --> 00:20:27.119
Is that really ahead of Iran conflict, Russia, Ukraine, and AI?
00:20:27.200 --> 00:20:35.920
All three of those have the potential of turning into something that could be a detriment to humanity across the globe.
00:20:36.079 --> 00:20:39.279
Oh, and then there was a plane that had a tricky landing, but everything was safe.
00:20:39.440 --> 00:20:39.759
Okay.
00:20:40.160 --> 00:20:40.960
That is the problem.
00:20:41.039 --> 00:20:49.599
You say everybody's aware of this stuff, but I would argue, as Dylan would say, and I never heard the the the term which is so bad.
00:20:50.000 --> 00:20:50.480
But it's true.
00:20:51.039 --> 00:20:56.079
He says it's a Psyop operation where everybody talks, they would get you talking about bread and bread and circus.
00:20:57.119 --> 00:21:00.160
Yeah, like, oh, the circus is fun, NFL's fun, you know, NASCAR is a good one.
00:21:00.319 --> 00:21:00.720
Look over here.
00:21:00.799 --> 00:21:07.200
I mean, he even says, he's like, hey, if I as long as I have my Monday night football and, you know, I can drink a beer, I'm happy.
00:21:07.279 --> 00:21:08.880
I'm just not gonna pay attention to it.
00:21:09.440 --> 00:21:13.440
Make sure you have the cheap Buffalo Wild Wings and the beer and all that stuff.
00:21:13.519 --> 00:21:20.559
Like, you know, it's a little feed them and entertain them, and they won't think about all the other stuff, which is like a Can I tell you something?
00:21:20.640 --> 00:21:32.319
It's a little bit like the mentality that you talked about in your book, Feeding the Dragon, which was, you know, in China, keep civilization and keep the, you know, the community just happy enough so they don't revolt.
00:21:32.640 --> 00:21:32.960
Exactly.
00:21:33.119 --> 00:21:34.160
That's what that's what's happening.
00:21:34.400 --> 00:21:48.079
And it goes back to the medieval times, the way they used certain, you know, you know, whether it was witchcraft or, you know, uh certain things that they got the populace all upset at each other with, you know, um, you know, immigration, whatever it is.
00:21:48.240 --> 00:21:55.039
Like, look over there, go be angry about that while we, you know, take over the world and make you not think about the important things.
00:21:55.200 --> 00:21:56.400
That's the Bread and Circus.
00:21:56.559 --> 00:22:02.960
And I watch the news tonight and I give a shout out to Dylan Hudson Fenton for calling it.
00:22:03.119 --> 00:22:09.680
It is a bread and circus psyops that's trying to divert our attention from things that actually really matter.
00:22:09.920 --> 00:22:10.799
So I don't know.
00:22:10.880 --> 00:22:15.920
It's hard not to be hopeful about it, but I just hope there's adults in the room that deal with some of these things.
00:22:16.160 --> 00:22:29.359
I mean, I will tell you that when I go onto my phone and I'm looking at the news app, the top stories, uh, we have the Iranian strikes have damaged hundreds of the structures at US bases.
00:22:29.759 --> 00:22:30.799
But you do have cookies that are.
00:22:38.720 --> 00:22:42.480
Uh, top AI companies are asking for supervision.
00:22:42.799 --> 00:22:46.880
FBI chief Cash Patel defends hiring policy changes.
00:22:47.200 --> 00:22:53.440
Then we get into all supporting acts on Ed Sharon's US tour quit after MacLamore's dropped.
00:22:53.839 --> 00:22:56.160
So there is a little bit of that.
00:22:56.319 --> 00:23:01.440
I saw earlier today it talked about how much this uh this war is costing us.
00:23:01.920 --> 00:23:04.480
That was uh, you know, a headline that I saw.
00:23:04.799 --> 00:23:09.279
Yeah, and that's um that's a number that for some reason it's a lot of people.
00:23:09.519 --> 00:23:10.319
What is it compared to?
00:23:10.960 --> 00:23:13.359
Well, so what is the number that they were reporting?
00:23:13.440 --> 00:23:14.480
Um let me see if I can find it.
00:23:14.880 --> 00:23:15.119
I don't know.
00:23:15.200 --> 00:23:16.480
It's in the hundreds of billions, I'm sure.
00:23:16.880 --> 00:23:17.200
Certainly.
00:23:17.440 --> 00:23:32.880
And then they try to distract you with, oh, we caught these people that had a million-dollar insurance fraud scam against uh, you know, Social Security or against uh, you know, um California, you know, health plan or whatever it is.
00:23:33.039 --> 00:23:36.000
Like they, oh, look over there, it's a million-dollar scam.
00:23:36.160 --> 00:23:51.440
No, what's going on is we're anyway, I don't want to get all into it because it it does get depressing and we love to follow like talk about really fun stuff, but I do implore everybody that's listening to this to pay attention to some of these things that are starting to spiral a bit.
00:23:51.519 --> 00:23:58.480
I mean, this Ukrainian-Russian conflict is not going the right direction, it's escalating.
00:23:58.640 --> 00:24:03.519
The Iranian conflict has now really become a hoothy um issue.
00:24:03.680 --> 00:24:06.960
It's become the KSA, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
00:24:07.200 --> 00:24:12.319
You have a lot of players in the Gulf Nation that are just beside themselves on how to handle this.
00:24:12.400 --> 00:24:15.440
We have two choke points in the Red Sea and the Strait of Hormuz.
00:24:15.519 --> 00:24:18.000
We have east-west pipelines that have been bombed.
00:24:18.079 --> 00:24:27.839
Um, and then on top of it, in the Ukrainian-Russian conflict, we're seeing energy refinement and energy depots and refineries and storage tanks all getting blown.
00:24:28.079 --> 00:24:40.240
Like this is all going to come home to roost, and we need to be aware of it, and we need to talk to the people that we put in office to spend time on that versus whatever else they're doing.
00:24:40.400 --> 00:24:42.559
Oh, and by the way, Mitch McConnell showed up.
00:24:42.880 --> 00:24:43.359
Good.
00:24:43.519 --> 00:24:44.319
Did you see him?
00:24:44.559 --> 00:24:45.680
Well, I I wasn't there.
00:24:45.839 --> 00:24:49.200
He oh man, I I don't I not sure.
00:24:49.359 --> 00:24:56.400
I mean, I haven't seen too much of him other than what was the video clips, but it doesn't look like he's operating inside.
00:24:56.559 --> 00:24:59.759
I mean, he is alive, I think, as long as that's him.
00:25:00.240 --> 00:25:01.039
What do you think it is?
00:25:01.279 --> 00:25:01.680
I don't know.
00:25:02.400 --> 00:25:03.279
Is it like Tupac?
00:25:03.519 --> 00:25:04.640
I don't know, but it definitely doesn't.
00:25:05.839 --> 00:25:09.920
I just wish it it's I feel for him, I feel for his family.
00:25:10.079 --> 00:25:10.960
It's embarrassing.
00:25:11.039 --> 00:25:22.160
Like we we need to be able to honorably put people out on uh to retire at at an age where they're no longer fit for service in any business or in any political office.
00:25:22.240 --> 00:25:23.680
I don't understand why.
00:25:23.920 --> 00:25:32.400
I mean, I know why there's a political advantage in the gameanship and all that stuff, but why are we doing this to people and why are we doing this to our country?
00:25:32.640 --> 00:25:42.400
Um because when we do, we don't talk about it and people aren't aware of it, and we just move on to the bread and circus, as you say.
00:25:42.720 --> 00:25:43.839
The bread and circus.
00:25:44.000 --> 00:25:45.200
So what else?
00:25:45.519 --> 00:25:47.519
Montreal has great hotels and restaurants.
00:25:47.759 --> 00:25:49.680
Can I just say something about lacrosse?
00:25:49.839 --> 00:25:50.000
Yeah.
00:25:50.559 --> 00:25:51.599
Well, okay, so what happened?
00:25:51.680 --> 00:25:53.920
Did we talk about the the two games that were played?
00:25:54.079 --> 00:25:54.480
Who won?
00:25:54.799 --> 00:25:55.200
We did not.
00:25:55.359 --> 00:26:00.799
McGill won both games, the one on Saturday as well as the one on Sunday.
00:26:00.960 --> 00:26:04.799
So we are 2-0 at the start of our season, which is great.
00:26:04.960 --> 00:26:09.119
Uh, we've got a few more games coming up in the next few weeks.
00:26:09.279 --> 00:26:13.599
And hopefully, you know, our team makes it to the bag, which is gonna be in November.
00:26:13.839 --> 00:26:14.480
Hopefully.
00:26:14.799 --> 00:26:18.960
That that's that's sort of like, you know, the Stanley Cup if you're a hockey, you know, a hockey follower.
00:26:19.200 --> 00:26:26.799
Well, can we also talk about the maturity of our boys and the fact that not only are they all playing on the field together in this house of six lacrosse?
00:26:27.200 --> 00:26:32.079
Oh, that was the best when they're but they're also keeping a relatively clean house that we feel okay going into.
00:26:32.640 --> 00:26:32.960
Thank you.
00:26:33.039 --> 00:26:34.160
Thank you for reminding me.
00:26:34.640 --> 00:26:46.720
I uh I step foot in that house, and you know, you leave your kid after you move them into their off-campus property, and you sort of hope that they keep it in some level of you know, clean.
00:26:46.880 --> 00:26:48.480
And we did have a cleaning girl come.
00:26:48.559 --> 00:26:49.920
I'm not gonna, I'm not gonna deny that.
00:26:50.000 --> 00:26:58.640
But we haven't had the cleaning girl come in a few weeks, and they've had some parties and they've been living there, and they've been doing, you know, their two-a-days and their training camps, and now they're in school and practice.
00:26:58.799 --> 00:27:04.240
And I think all the parents were a little concerned on the uh the nature of the house and how it was gonna look.
00:27:04.319 --> 00:27:09.200
And when we walked in, it was actually really clean.
00:27:09.519 --> 00:27:12.880
And yes, all the boys are like, oh, well, we cleaned up for you to come.
00:27:13.039 --> 00:27:13.759
But you know what?
00:27:13.920 --> 00:27:20.400
I'm glad that they cleaned up for us to come because it shows us that they can clean up and they're not total knuckleheads.
00:27:20.559 --> 00:27:23.759
And the house, like, there wasn't crap all over the place.
00:27:23.920 --> 00:27:31.359
Dylan's room was, you know, in in total order, although he didn't make his bed, he has not necessarily learned how to do that yet.
00:27:31.519 --> 00:27:32.319
But uh, it's okay.
00:27:32.400 --> 00:27:37.359
I went in and I made it for him, and I hung a couple of pictures that we we ordered for the room.
00:27:37.519 --> 00:27:39.359
Um, but no, I'm so proud of those boys.
00:27:39.519 --> 00:27:40.400
They're cooking.
00:27:40.640 --> 00:27:43.759
In fact, going to the market with Dylan was hysterical.
00:27:44.000 --> 00:27:45.440
That was beyond hysterical.
00:27:45.680 --> 00:27:52.559
And and I I want to give a shout out to Kaylee Fenton because we're gonna have all kinds of stories from when you visit here, and then we have a parents' weekend coming up.
00:27:52.640 --> 00:27:54.480
So we'll we'll don't worry, Kaylee.
00:27:54.720 --> 00:27:56.960
We will spend lots of glazing on you too.
00:27:57.119 --> 00:27:58.720
Okay, so tell me about the grocery store.
00:27:58.960 --> 00:28:01.599
Okay, so we go to the grocery store because that's what parents do, right?
00:28:01.680 --> 00:28:04.880
Like when you're in town, you you load your kid up on what they need.
00:28:04.960 --> 00:28:08.480
And I think Dylan was a little reluctant to go to the grocery store because he had other things to do.
00:28:08.559 --> 00:28:12.079
But we're like, no, no, no, let's go to the grocery store, let us buy you food.
00:28:12.160 --> 00:28:17.200
And he then sort of looked at me and he's like, Well, mom, you already buy me food because I put the food on your credit card.
00:28:17.359 --> 00:28:18.400
So that is true.
00:28:18.640 --> 00:28:21.920
But he went through the aisles and he's very methodical.
00:28:22.000 --> 00:28:32.160
It's almost like he's on supermarket sweep, which anybody that knows Dylan and and myself knows that we totally want to go on that game show supermarket sweep.
00:28:32.319 --> 00:28:36.160
In fact, we have a team name, it's called the Dale Danishes.
00:28:36.319 --> 00:28:37.920
We take marketing very seriously.
00:28:38.240 --> 00:28:48.880
So, Dylan, you know, in his mind, maybe he's pretending he's on supermarket sweep, and he goes straight to the meat section because that's where he says he starts every single time.
00:28:49.119 --> 00:28:58.880
And he's looking at the meat, and you know, he doesn't really cook chicken yet because I think I've scared him with the the chicken disease notion that he's gonna get salmonella all over, you know, the the house.
00:28:59.119 --> 00:29:04.480
But he does cook the ground beef, the ground pork, the ground turkey, and he was looking.
00:29:04.559 --> 00:29:10.640
I mean, I think he I think he got steaks because I know that the boys are grilling and he's checking out the prices, and he's like, Oh, this is really a good deal.
00:29:10.880 --> 00:29:19.599
And then we start going from aisle to aisle, and he definitely has his map through the the supermarket where he likes to go, and he's like, I only look for things that are on sale.
00:29:19.680 --> 00:29:21.359
I'm like, dude, I'm I'm buying you groceries.
00:29:21.519 --> 00:29:22.079
Like, it's cool.
00:29:22.160 --> 00:29:24.480
He's like, Yeah, no, I'm I'm only buying things on sale.
00:29:25.039 --> 00:29:26.000
Okay, fine.
00:29:26.240 --> 00:29:35.279
And he only bought the chips that were on sale, and he only bought the you know the the the bread that was on sale, and he only bought he did buy cookies because that boy has a sweet tooth, and I think he bought some muffins too.
00:29:35.920 --> 00:29:40.079
But we asked if he knows did you want us to buy him any beer because the drinking age is 18 there.
00:29:40.160 --> 00:29:42.640
He's like, No, it's okay, I got I I took care of it.
00:29:42.880 --> 00:29:44.720
But he was very frugal.
00:29:44.880 --> 00:29:45.759
Can I even say that?
00:29:45.920 --> 00:30:05.839
Well, and what's what was the most hilarious part of it is that sometimes I will go grocery shopping with you, and I have to like really just take a backseat and do nothing, especially when the bagging portion comes, like just stay out of the way because you have such a particular way you bag stuff that heaven forbid I'd do anything with the bagging.
00:30:05.920 --> 00:30:09.279
I I'm I'm just there, I hold the cart, and then when it's done, I take it to the car.
00:30:09.599 --> 00:30:09.839
That's it.
00:30:10.000 --> 00:30:13.119
And then even when I get to the car, I put the wrong bag in first, or whatever it is.
00:30:13.279 --> 00:30:16.319
But but you and Dylan are the exact same.
00:30:16.480 --> 00:30:34.000
So he has whatever the system he's developed over the last three weeks, is a definitely inflexible system, and you kept pulling stuff out, and not only was he irritated by you trying to re-bag what he already wanted bagged in the way he wanted it bagged.
00:30:34.240 --> 00:30:42.880
I was bagging it for the biggest, but it was also taking the weight off the self-checkout and causing us to have to call the assistant over every time to reset the machine.
00:30:43.039 --> 00:30:48.079
It was so close to going to blows, it was unbelievable.
00:30:48.319 --> 00:30:52.640
Anyway, I think you even looked at the attendant and said, Oh, she's American.
00:30:52.880 --> 00:30:54.640
I think you totally mocked me.
00:30:54.799 --> 00:30:56.720
Oh my gosh, it was crazy.
00:30:56.960 --> 00:30:58.400
So um, I don't know.
00:30:58.480 --> 00:31:09.920
I think we sort of end on that for today because there's so much more to talk about, including, by the way, the American um federal production incentive is getting a lot of momentum this week.
00:31:10.000 --> 00:31:20.319
Uh, John Voigt's uh Donald Trump, then the Schiff and the you know, um Nathaniel Moran and the Ways and Means Committee are starting to combine with Reps Jack and Reps Friedman.
00:31:20.400 --> 00:31:24.880
And uh anyway, there's a an announcement coming tomorrow that's gonna really start moving this forward.
00:31:24.960 --> 00:31:28.640
We got to keep our fingers crossed so we can get this federal production incentive through.
00:31:28.880 --> 00:31:40.079
But just a shout out to the coalition in Hollywood that's been helping push this, all the individuals have been out there, um, bad counselors, which is showcased the beauty of an American-made movie, all that kind of stuff.
00:31:40.160 --> 00:31:40.880
We're just super excited.
00:31:40.960 --> 00:31:42.640
And that that's do you feel responsible?
00:31:42.720 --> 00:31:45.200
Do you feel a little bit like you you help make this happen?
00:31:45.440 --> 00:31:47.039
I'm a very small piece in the puzzle.
00:31:47.119 --> 00:31:52.160
Yeah, I'll I'll I'll admit I'm a very small piece in the puzzle, but it takes a village to get this done.
00:31:52.400 --> 00:31:54.799
Well, I'm happy that the village is getting this done, fingers crossed.
00:31:54.880 --> 00:31:58.880
Yeah, and no offense to Botswana or Barbados or whatever who's listening to this.
00:31:59.119 --> 00:32:04.240
Like, we'll we'll shoot stuff down there too when the plot's warranted, but we gotta keep some of our people employed here in the U.S.
00:32:04.480 --> 00:32:05.359
So I don't know.
00:32:05.519 --> 00:32:06.880
Anything else you want to say?
00:32:07.200 --> 00:32:07.599
Bye.
00:32:07.839 --> 00:32:09.359
Okay, well, you're just gonna say bye.
00:32:09.440 --> 00:32:10.400
I haven't even started.
00:32:10.799 --> 00:32:14.640
Oh, I haven't even started like our wait, I'm gonna do Austin Powers.
00:32:14.880 --> 00:32:16.559
I like Austin Powers to end these things.
00:32:16.720 --> 00:32:23.759
So you listen to Plate and Ponder Empty Nesting with Jen and Chris Fenton, um, all 32 30 uh of it.
00:32:23.920 --> 00:32:26.799
And we really appreciate you listening to this latest episode.
00:32:26.880 --> 00:32:28.000
We apologize for the pause.
00:32:28.160 --> 00:32:29.359
We will be back next week.
00:32:29.440 --> 00:32:33.519
I don't think we'll get one out before next Monday or Tuesday, but we love you.
00:32:33.680 --> 00:32:37.119
Keep DMing, keep engaged, follow, spread the word.
00:32:37.279 --> 00:32:39.759
Until next time, bye bye.
