- 0:08Speaker 1: One more thing.
- 0:11Speaker 2: I don't have any idea what that's about.
- 0:13Speaker 1: Yeah, we tried to get this going the other day,
- 0:15Speaker 1: but then we got off on another topic and never
- 0:17Speaker 1: got to it. So we will in a minute, I promise,
- 0:20Speaker 1: get to why you should consider, at the very least
- 0:24Speaker 1: putting your face against a burning hot stove.

- 0:37Speaker 1: Great, Okay, oh everything? Okay, man, it's just say you've
- 0:42Speaker 1: only scanned a few items and it's already sixty bucks.
- 0:45Speaker 3: I'm so scared.
- 0:46Speaker 2: Okay, I'm a trained professional, ma'am.
- 0:48Speaker 3: I've scanned a lot of groceries. I need you to
- 0:49Speaker 3: stay with me.
- 0:50Speaker 2: It's just that my in laws are in town and
- 0:52Speaker 2: they want a sharcootery board.
- 0:54Speaker 3: This isn't going to be easy, so I need you
- 0:55Speaker 3: to be brave.
- 0:55Speaker 2: All right.
- 0:56Speaker 3: What's your name?
- 0:57Speaker 2: But Trish? All right?
- 0:58Speaker 3: I need you to take a deep breath. About to
- 1:00Speaker 3: do the cheese. Oh my god, don't look up there.
- 1:04Speaker 3: It only makes it worse. Keep your eyes on me.
- 1:06Speaker 2: Okay, now, brace yourself.
- 1:08Speaker 3: I'm about to do the mixed nuts. WHOA, my god,
- 1:11Speaker 3: I'm gonna get ready. I'm gonna do the cured meats.
- 1:15Speaker 3: Don't stop. I can't tell this anymore. It's too late.
- 1:18Speaker 3: There's a line behind you. Okay, you're locked in, strong enough,
- 1:24Speaker 3: You've got this.
- 1:25Speaker 2: Patricia, get ready, I'm gonna weigh the great.
- 1:28Speaker 3: What have you tell?
- 1:30Speaker 2: Your totals two hundred and.
- 1:31Speaker 1: Fifty seven eighty four. Alert listeners may remember that we
- 1:38Speaker 1: actually ran that a while back.
- 1:42Speaker 2: Oh, it doesn't matter that what don't say that? It's
- 1:46Speaker 2: one of my favorite it's a humor efforts. But I
- 1:49Speaker 2: don't remember that we ran it before, and I find
- 1:51Speaker 2: that troubling.
- 1:52Speaker 3: Was I here?
- 1:53Speaker 1: Oh boy, I don't know. I can't tell you exactly
- 1:57Speaker 1: how long it was.
- 1:57Speaker 2: But it's interesting that neither Katie or Iron remember it
- 2:00Speaker 2: before me.
- 2:01Speaker 1: Who's that woman? She's got to she's got to be
- 2:03Speaker 1: on the silver screen.
- 2:05Speaker 3: I don't know, but the way she screams just had
- 2:08Speaker 3: me die.
- 2:09Speaker 2: That's pretty funny. Hey, what's your name? What's your name?
- 2:11Speaker 1: Stay with me?
- 2:12Speaker 3: Now we're gonna do it. We're gonna weave the cheese.
- 2:15Speaker 3: We're gonna do the cheese.
- 2:16Speaker 2: Ah. So the fact that I don't so true, fact
- 2:20Speaker 2: that I don't remember that reminds me. I had this
- 2:22Speaker 2: conversation the other day with the fam when I got
- 2:25Speaker 2: the same Father's Day card two years in a row
- 2:27Speaker 2: and didn't remember it. It was it was a joke.
- 2:30Speaker 2: It was a It was a It was a guy
- 2:33Speaker 2: standing at the open door of a refrigerator, and inside
- 2:35Speaker 2: the refrigerator is nothing but butter, and he says, Honey,
- 2:38Speaker 2: do we have any butter? And I got that same
- 2:40Speaker 2: card two years in a row and laughed both times
- 2:42Speaker 2: as if I'd never heard it. And then one time
- 2:45Speaker 2: I bought the same shirt twice. Katie, you haven't heard
- 2:47Speaker 2: this story. I bought the shirt that I thought was
- 2:49Speaker 2: really cool. Then like two weeks later, I bought a
- 2:51Speaker 2: shirt that I thought it was really cool, got home
- 2:53Speaker 2: to put it in the closet, realized that I already
- 2:54Speaker 2: had that same shirt. And uh, I don't know what
- 2:58Speaker 2: that means about my brain, But.
- 2:59Speaker 3: Is it a shot? Find one thing he likes and
- 3:01Speaker 3: then just buy it over and over.
- 3:02Speaker 2: And I won't remember it?
- 3:04Speaker 1: So right, just confiscate it from your closet the day
- 3:07Speaker 1: before your birthday, then give it to you again. Yeah,
- 3:10Speaker 1: the card thing wouldn't bother me. I mean, because those
- 3:13Speaker 1: those jokes are cute and they're funny, but it's not
- 3:15Speaker 1: like you have any reason to commit them.
- 3:17Speaker 2: To memory, you know what I mean?
- 3:20Speaker 1: I wouldn't worry.
- 3:20Speaker 2: How about the shirt thing?
- 3:24Speaker 1: How distinctive was this shit?
- 3:26Speaker 2: White? Oh boy?
- 3:29Speaker 1: Anyway, you've had a good run this.
- 3:33Speaker 2: I believe.
- 3:35Speaker 1: This was written by Frank Fleming, who is a He's
- 3:40Speaker 1: a creator for the Daily Wire. He's a writer for
- 3:44Speaker 1: the Babylon be Conservative man, funny, clever, and I think
- 3:49Speaker 1: he is reacting to some of the things Tucker Carlson
- 3:53Speaker 1: has done or others like him have done recently. This
- 3:56Speaker 1: is post going sideways Tucker Carlson. Very clever, funny, snarky
- 4:02Speaker 1: and sane Tucker Carlson. But I love this as a
- 4:04Speaker 1: metaphor hang with it. Everyone jumps on you if you
- 4:10Speaker 1: question the narrative. But why are people resistant to new information?
- 4:13Speaker 1: If you're so sure, you should welcome this questioning. I'm
- 4:16Speaker 1: going to talk to you about something you won't hear
- 4:18Speaker 1: in the history books. You should press your face against
- 4:21Speaker 1: a hot stove. I can hear all the NPCs. Now, NPCs,
- 4:26Speaker 1: what is that?
- 4:29Speaker 2: Not sure correct? Probably pretty good, guess, sir Michael.
- 4:34Speaker 1: Even no, no, it's it's it's something conservatives.
- 4:39Speaker 2: Even if we don't know, it's the group that, yeah,
- 4:42Speaker 2: will tell you this is wrong.
- 4:44Speaker 3: I'm saying, non player character.
- 4:47Speaker 2: Oh yeah, okay, well it could be anyway.
- 4:50Speaker 1: I can hear all the NPCs now, No, the stove
- 4:52Speaker 1: will burn your face. That's all you've been taught to say.
- 4:55Speaker 1: You never think for yourself. You never actually put your
- 4:58Speaker 1: face on a hot stove. Know what you've been told
- 5:01Speaker 1: to parrot. In the real world, things are not as
- 5:04Speaker 1: simple as hot stove burned face. It's more complex than that.
- 5:08Speaker 3: Now.
- 5:08Speaker 1: I'm not saying no one has been burned by stove.
- 5:10Speaker 1: I'm just saying that the idea that you should never
- 5:12Speaker 1: put your face on a hot stove is rather simplistic. Now,
- 5:16Speaker 1: what happens when heat is applied to a face Only
- 5:18Speaker 1: bad things? No, that's ridiculous. Sometimes heat can be good,
- 5:22Speaker 1: especially for your face. That's why we clean with hot water,
- 5:26Speaker 1: and a stove is just concentrated heat. So am I
- 5:29Speaker 1: saying pressing your face against a hot stove will make
- 5:31Speaker 1: you stronger. No, I'm just saying that you don't know
- 5:34Speaker 1: for certain what will happen. You only think you know
- 5:37Speaker 1: because of what you've been programmed in school. Why do
- 5:40Speaker 1: people get angry when you point this out. You're trying
- 5:42Speaker 1: to burn people's faces, They say, I'm trying to open minds,
- 5:46Speaker 1: and through the face is the mind. I'm just brings
- 5:51Speaker 1: it home. I'm just asking questions here, questions about stoves
- 5:55Speaker 1: and faces. If that alarms or angers you, maybe the
- 5:58Speaker 1: problem is you small mind get disturbed when shaken from
- 6:01Speaker 1: the long held views like hot stove bad. I pressed
- 6:05Speaker 1: my face against a stove and I was, okay, is
- 6:07Speaker 1: that so hard to believe? Yes, this one wasn't on.
- 6:10Speaker 1: But that's nearly the same thing as what I'm talking about.
- 6:13Speaker 1: That's one chip away at the narrative we've all been
- 6:16Speaker 1: told about stoves. People will say that though the heat
- 6:18Speaker 1: of the stove that is on will damage the face,
- 6:20Speaker 1: but damage is just another word for change. Perhaps it
- 6:24Speaker 1: will change the face into something better, stronger, facier. So well,
- 6:31Speaker 1: pressing your face against a hot stove improve you. We
- 6:34Speaker 1: don't know, same as the people who say it will
- 6:36Speaker 1: hurt you don't really know for sure. That's why we
- 6:38Speaker 1: need an open discussion about the issue. Now, what is heat?
- 6:41Speaker 1: Heat is energy, it is activity, it is excitement. Is
- 6:44Speaker 1: that all bad for your face? No, that's ridiculous. So
- 6:47Speaker 1: what is it about the stove that makes people so
- 6:49Speaker 1: dismissive of the idea of pressing your face against it?
- 6:52Speaker 1: People will say, well, the stove is too hot for
- 6:55Speaker 1: your face? How much feet if face? I'm sorry, how
- 6:57Speaker 1: much heat can you your face take? What exact degree
- 7:01Speaker 1: fahrenheit is too much for your face? You don't know.
- 7:04Speaker 1: You just think you know because that's what you've been told.
- 7:07Speaker 2: Yeah, that's pretty good, and from both sides. You introduced
- 7:09Speaker 2: it with the Tucker thing, So I had that in
- 7:11Speaker 2: my mind when he was talking that his story and
- 7:13Speaker 2: about how Churchill was actually the bad guy. But as
- 7:16Speaker 2: you went on, I was thinking about some of your
- 7:18Speaker 2: anti racist BS crap that you hear all the time too,
- 7:22Speaker 2: that uses the same argumentative technique sixteen nineteen project Sure.
- 7:28Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, they're all logical fallacies red Herring's equivocation. I
- 7:34Speaker 1: actually I've got the speaking of books I want to read.
- 7:36Speaker 1: I just got a book about logical fallacies of I
- 7:39Speaker 1: want to get good at that. Oh yeah, I end
- 7:42Speaker 1: up in the grave. I want to be able to
- 7:44Speaker 1: call out arguments, partly for the audience, partly for myself
- 7:48Speaker 1: and say, oh, that's an appeal to blankety blank. Here's
- 7:50Speaker 1: what that means. Learn to recognize that sort of false heart.
- 7:53Speaker 2: Yeah, I should for you to this video I watched
- 7:55Speaker 2: from some professor going through the However many there are logical.
- 8:00Speaker 2: It was so interesting. Yeah, if you make a note,
- 8:03Speaker 2: once you get onto it, it's you spot them more often.
- 8:07Speaker 1: Well, I remember, and I'm so grateful that you brought
- 8:10Speaker 1: us the Mott and Bailey argument, which I still say
- 8:15Speaker 1: should be named renamed the castle and courtyard argument, where
- 8:18Speaker 1: you make a bedrock argument there is racism in America.
- 8:23Speaker 1: Therefore we need to teach anti racism in the schools
- 8:27Speaker 1: and divide the kids by race and yell at the
- 8:29Speaker 1: white kids. I think that's a sick idea. Oh so
- 8:33Speaker 1: you're saying there's no racism. When you call them on
- 8:36Speaker 1: the out their argument, they retreat to the castle and
- 8:39Speaker 1: act like you disagreed with that premise, where you didn't.
- 8:43Speaker 1: It's dishonest and it's practically ubiquitous these days.
- 8:46Speaker 3: It sounds like every liberal I've ever argued.
- 8:47Speaker 2: With, Yeah, yeah, pretty much.
- 8:50Speaker 1: It's super common. Well, if you'll excuse me, I've got
- 8:54Speaker 1: a stove to fire up.
- 8:57Speaker 3: Well, I guess that's it.
