  Speaker 1: Got It feels good to be told, and thanks for
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: putting up with me for the past what eight nine,
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: ten days. I can't even keep track of the Wicked
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: Radio live stream with bad lighting, bad internet oft times
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: I had to miss a day because of a daughter
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: surgery all that stuff. But everything is cool and a
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: little updated. My daughter all is good. Back home plane
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: flight home a little rough. I'm gonna tell you that
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: that was kind of awful, not the flight itself, but
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: to be expected. You know, there's pain involved with this
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: thing in a recovery process whenever you have, like any
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: kind of a back or spine surgery. But to watch
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: your kid in pain, you can't do anything about it.
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: That's like one of the worst feelings in the world.
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: But already better feeling last night and azev this morning.
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: So thanks so much for hanging out with me back
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: home on a Friday and Mother's Day weekend, no less,
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: how about that. A little programming note here on the
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: Wicked Wisdom channels, which is, you know, radio is the
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: live stream, Wicked Wisdom is the social media channels on
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: everything out there. I'm gonna record an interview today. It's
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: gonna post later on this afternoon. Usually about maybe four
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: or five pm Eastern time. I think you get to
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: like this Mother's Day weekend special. I'm gonna talk to
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: a guy who I've talked to before. He's great, doctor
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: Steven Sideroff's a pretty well acclaimed psychologist. Thing he's written
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: a book called The Nine Pillars of Resilience. But it's about
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: turning all what he's all about, and this whole thing
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: is turning stress that we're all going through into a
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: superpower and actually using it. Well, I figured nobody's more
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: stressed out these days than moms. So just for the moms,
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: I think could turn all that mom stress into a
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: superpower and actually use it to help themselves. So that's
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: coming up later on. But with all that said, thanks
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: for finding me. I appreciate it so much. So here
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: we are yesterday. Yesterday, we're packing up the luggage, like
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: nine thousand suitcases, going into an uber trying to manage
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: our way to look GUARDI Airport in New York and
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: all that stuff, and the news breaks and oh my god,
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: there's and it's so funny too, because you look out
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: in any public area like that one is a big
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: news story, and you see people going all at the
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: same time. Oh, something going on here, breaking news. Wait,
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: there's white smoke coming out of the Vatican. They've chosen
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: a pope. Wait a minute, that's not white smoke. That's red,
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: white and blue smoke. It's an American pope. Oh my god,
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: which is wasn't really red, white and blue. But yeah,
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: here we go, We've got a brand new pope. Didn't
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: take too long. I think it was the third vote,
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: they said, uh, second day of conclave. He is Pope
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: Leo the fourteenth. Started his life off as Robert Prevost
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: and he's from Chicago. Not only Chicago, apparently it's from
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: the South side of Chicago, which is relevant to the
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: story because one of the first things this is amazing,
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: not only amazing that we have the first American pope
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: in history. One of the first things people wanted to
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: know when they found out that he started his life
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: in Chicago. You know, he's been a missionary all over
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: the world, mostly Peru. I think, is he a Cubs
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: or a White Sox fan? This this is what happens
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: when we get an American bulb. These are relevant things
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: we want to know. It turns out, I guess, because
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: he's from the south side. He's a white Sox fan.
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: I don't know, but an amazing thing, all right. So
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: here here's the moment that he stepped out in the
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: balcony at the at the Vatican, out in the porch,
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: and he announced himself and the Vatican announced him to
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: the world. Here he is. Here's here's Pope Leo the fourteenth,
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: the chosen papal name. There comes ah's him.
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: He's waving. They'll learned the pope wave t bits and everything.
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: You gotta admit, even if you're not Catholic. Uh, the
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: Roman Catholic Church is good at the pomp and circumstance.
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: They really are. I mean it's colorful. You heard the
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: horns there. How they do it, you know, the Vatican,
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: they have their own city, do a good job with
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: that stuff. So what do we know about this guy?
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: Like I said, the first American pope out of all
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: of them, Pope Leo the fourteenth born Robert Prevost, like
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: I said, in Chicago, started off life his first part
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: of his career in Chicago. His father Bob, that's what
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: they call him. He's the fourteenth pope overall, Leo the
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: forty excuse me, he's the two hundred and sixty seventh
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: pope overall, Saint Peter. This is I love this that
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: papal history has come up throughout this whole process where
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: people are like, you know, they're watching that movie Conclave
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: and there found it out about the church. Saint Peter
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: pretty much was the first pope because you know, one
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: day Jesus turned to him and he said, hey, they're
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: probably gonna kill me soon. I need you to start
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: this church.
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: Can you do that?
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: Sure? Thanks? Cool. So he was the first pope really,
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: as you look at it. He steps into the role
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: at age sixty nine. He's gonna be seventy in September.
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: So as far as popes go, this guy's pretty young, barring,
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: you know, God forbidding he kind of a health crisis
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: or any other kind of emergency. It's got me around
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: a long time, so it's important to get to know him.
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: And I hear what you're saying. I totally understand it.
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: You're like, well, I'm not Catholic, I could care less.
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: What the pope's all about.
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: I hear you. I understand that. I totally get that.
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: But here's the thing. The latest estimate is that the
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: Catholic Church. The pope not in charge of but influences
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: and persuades one point four billion people around the world.
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: One point four billion. So anybody with that much influence worldwide,
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: you got to pay attention to what they're all about.
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: So this is an amazing thing. This is the first
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: amazing thing. Why this is so different? And you know,
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: I go back and forth with the Catholic Church. I'm
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: certainly a critic of it, but this was wild to
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: me to hear a pope speaking with an American accent.
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: He knows five languages, but this was wild to me.
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: That just listen to how different this is. If you
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: are if you did grow a Catholic like I did this,
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: you know, you know what's common. You know he's an
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: American by birth, but you hear it as a polp
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: and you're like, WHOA, that's really different.
• 6:10
  Speaker 3: I'll begin with a word in English and the rest
• 6:13
  Speaker 3: is in Italian, but I want to repeat the words
• 6:17
  Speaker 3: from the responsorial psalm. I will sing a new song
• 6:21
  Speaker 3: to the Lord because he has done marvels.
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: I just this may not mean much to you if
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: he didn't grow up in the Catholic Church. And my
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: mom was like a super Catholic, Like like if she
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: was a superhero, that's what she would be. She'd have
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: a big C on her cape. Super Catholic. So I'm very,
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: very familiar with all of this. It's wild to hear
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: an American pope. It just it just is it's really different.
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: What does it mean, though, What does it mean to
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: normal people like you and me? I think I think
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: this means the communication from the church is going to
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: be a lot different in many different ways. First of all,
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: not through a translator, not through a different language. He
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: sounds young and vibrant too. He just does you know,
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: he's sixty nine. It's not that old as far as
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: popes go, So you know, because it's, let's face it,
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: if Francis was like this, even Pope John Paul was
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: like this at the end of their lives, you couldn't
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: even understand it. Me were like, this guy's got some
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: bigger to them. That's cool, that's all right. Here here's
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: the other thing that that kind of freaks me out.
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: But it's good, and it's just it makes total sense.
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: It started with Pope Francis, the previous guy who just
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: died recently, but picked up with this guy, this guy,
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: this new Pope Leo the fourteenth, has a has an
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: x account and is on social media a lot. How
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: weird is that it's you know, and no, Pope Francis did,
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: and I get it. But Pope Francis was just kind
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: of like, you know, sort of like monitoring things, and
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: people followed him. This guy's active. So what's the first
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: thing that happened? Just like anybody that's thrust onto the
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: world stage in a big prominent role, what did we
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: all do? You know, not only the news operations, what
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: did we all do? We went on there and we said,
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: all right, let's check out this guy's previous tweets.
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: What's he all about?
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: And certainly that happened. Now did we learn anything? No,
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: nothing conclusive. This apparently I thought was fake news and
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: it turned out to be true. Somebody dug up his
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: voting history in the state of Illinois. Apparently, reportedly by
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: some verifiable sources, he did register once as a Republican. Interesting,
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: very interesting, especially coming from the Catholic side of things. Okay,
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: there's one thing bad side. He has not written, but
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: reposted and liked various posts criticizing Trump's policy of closing
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: the border, and he was very, very very pro immigration.
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: That's bad to me. Interesting side. In his own words, though,
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: he has written things he's not too cool with the
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: whole transgender issue, not too cool with that, or gay marriage,
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: says it's adding more confusion to a confusing world. That's interesting. Now,
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: we've got to keep this in mind. It's very very
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: possible not the stuff he's written, because he signed his
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: name to that when he was a bishop. It's possible though,
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: that somebody that high in the Vatican would have some
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: younger social media person running his accounts. So maybe the
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: likes and reposts were from them. I don't know. We
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: don't really know. But he was a right hand man
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: to Pope Francis, so you got to figure he was
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: pretty along the same lines with his policies. You gotta
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: figure my whole issue. All I wanted as a recovering Catholic,
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: it's just a joke. I wanted to see somebody that
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: will protect Western culture. And I think this guy, being
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: an American would The thing that bothers me is pro immigration,
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: because here's the problem with popes. Most of them are old,
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: they don't have a family lineage. There's nobody. You know
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: that they don't have kids. Obviously they can't. They have
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: what twenty maybe this guy thirty years left. So when
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: he's gone, he gone. I didn't really care too much
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: about the state of the nations he leaves behind when
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: he's gone, So he doesn't care about what our kids
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: or grandkids are going to face with an invasion of
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: a border like we just had for the past four years.
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: It didn't really care about that, and that bothers me.
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: That's my main issue. We'll see, we'll see what he's
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: all about coming up in the future. We'll see, we'll
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: see what he's we'll see what his actions actually taking,
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: not just going by his previous social media post, which
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: is still so weird to me, that's just unbelievable. But
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: we'll see. But it's kind of a cool thing. I've
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: gone back and forth with the Catholic Church. I was
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: talking about my mom for Mother's Day a couple of
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: minutes ago. I'll say this, this was the biggest family
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: fight we ever had. Was because I never I refuse
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: to get confirmed as a Catholic, even with a super
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: Catholic mom growing up. The biggest family fight we ever
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: had because in the stupid town where I grew up.
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: Most people in Catholic dioceses that you get confirmed at
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: like what, I don't know, eleven twelve. You get that
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: out of the way, and then you're fine. My stupid
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: town where the church was. We're gonna have it. We
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: were gonna they were gonna delay it. We were gonna
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: be like seventeen and eighteen or something. Now as a
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: teenager you're growing up, You're like, you want me to
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: continue to go to CCD classes. I'm trying to get
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: a job and get a car and find some kind
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: of a girlfriend. No, I'm not down with that. So
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: you know, I refused whatever, which led me into looking
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: into more of the Catholic Church and some of the
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: corruption whatever. So any organization has its own corruption and
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: then big problem. So I've gone back and forth with it.
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: I hope this guy works out. Like I said, one
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: point four billion people. He influences. It's important even if
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: you're not Catholic. He influences a lot of things that
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: will affect your daily life because a lot of people
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: listen to him, and he can affect politics and how
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: things are, how things are legislated on a daily basis.
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: So I don't know, but here's one thing that's gonna
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: change automatically. He's an American and he did grow up
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: in Chicago. So now all the Communion wafers are gonna
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: be served deep dish style. Hey yuck, yucks. I got
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: him probably going to jail for that one too, all right,
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: So that's the pull. Amazing, amazing time to be in.
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: We're gonna get into a little we'll get into a
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: little bit of news what happened on Capitol here yesterday,
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: but not too long because it's just, you know, it's politics,
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: and we're all sick of it, right, But just to
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: explain what all this news is all about. So, this guy,
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: Ed Martin had been, uh, had been the temporary US
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: attorney for Washington, d C. All these cities have US
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: attorneys and they're all important, but in Washington, DC, you
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: need that job because that's where all the lawfare cases
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: start and the US Attorney decides which judges are going
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: to see these cases, like all the lawfare thrown against
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: Trump and things that they'll throw against the Democrats whatever. Right,
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: So he had been doing a great job, so they
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: wanted to get him confirmed to be the permanent US
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: Attorney for DC. Well, his nomination was blocked by one senator,
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: and so he's not gonna get the job. Senator Tom Tillis,
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: who's a Republican, blocked Trump's nomination Ed Martin to be
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: the US Attorney for DC. Right, so it's not gonna
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: be him. Now here's Ed Martin's day. Because all these
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: guys are still politic there. They're they're you know, they're
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: go getters. They are no matter what their job is,
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: even if they're just you know, US attorneys, judges, whatever
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: it is, they all want to advance in their careers.
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: This Ed Martin guy, here's his day. Here's a bad
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: day for you. He finds out his nomination is blocked,
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: and then he goes out in the street to do
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: an interview to talk about it. And he's talking to
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: a Newsmax lady and he's talking about, you know where
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: we go from here. In the middle of the interview,
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: and you probably saw this clip, some insane, deranged, crazy
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: cat lady walks up to him, runs up to him
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: and spits on them in the in the middle of
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: the interview, and it's sound it sounded like this we
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: need to get really focused you are mying, oh my god,
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: and then runs away dragging her dog in a leash.
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: By the way, we're possible pet ownership. That's a bad day.
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: You find out you're not getting the job you wanted
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: and he got spit on by a crazy cat lady.
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: Can't get much worse than that as far as days go. Well,
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: here's the other thing. Here's how it turns around. They
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: will spend not a lot of time on this, but
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: I'll just update you because there's a lot of chatter
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: about this online. Love him or hate him, don't listen
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: to the people that tell you that Trump is dumb,
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: because he is a brilliant strategist. What it looks like
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: now is that he anticipated Tom tillis blocking the nomination
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: of this Ed Martin guy. So what he can do
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: is nominate a bunch of temporary judges because they get
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: one hundred and twenty days each time, can go on forever.
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: You can just keep nominating judges all you want, or
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: replacing them. They don't have to be confirmed if they're
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: just temporary and they get one hundred and twenty days
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: to do their job to decide who the judges are.
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: They're going to decide these lawfare cases. It's actually really
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: important in DC. So who does he put in place
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: for at least the next hundred twenty days if they
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: blocked ed Martin because they thought he was too extreme.
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: Here's your new US attorney for DC. You know her name,
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: Judge Janine Piro, feisty judicial grandma. You know from Fox News.
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: She's a contributor there and she's on the five all
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: the time. Oh do you want to mess with her?
• 15:21
  Speaker 3: Now?
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: You just got somebody more severe here.
• 15:24
  Speaker 4: She is speak to us anymore. The Democrats are the
• 15:27
  Speaker 4: party of hate. The Democrats are the party that said
• 15:30
  Speaker 4: he's a Russian, he's a potent asset, He's a Russian puppet.
• 15:33
  Speaker 4: The Democrats are the ones who signed Affid David's and
• 15:36
  Speaker 4: lied to a court so that they could spy on
• 15:39
  Speaker 4: a president of the United States. You call the Democrats
• 15:41
  Speaker 4: are the ones who said that we're destroying democracy.
• 15:44
  Speaker 2: Let me.
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: It's like Trump said, Okay, you didn't want ed you
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: got her. Good luck to you. We know when they
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: say fort js, that's fortys anyway. That's why you're gonna
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: see a lot more of her these days coming up here.
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: A little wicked wisdom to before we get into Mother's Day,
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: and happy Mother's Day weekend again to all you moms.
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: We love you so much. He's my little and I'll
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: keep it quick, little wicked wisdom tip of the day
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: for if you're an adult and you still have your
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: parents around, count your lucky stars, because for the rest
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: of us orphans who lost our parents pretty young, is
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: not a day that goes by that I wouldn't like
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: to have one of them around to add to just
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: to be with them and just to talk to them again.
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: So you got a mom, you got a dad, especially
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: a mom on Mother's Day weekend, give her an extra
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: hug and appreciate all they do, even if you've had
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: your troubles. I appreciate them because they're not around forever.
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: All right, It's enough of that. Speaking of Mother's Day, though,
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: I thought this was fascinating, so you know, I love
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: my surveys. They did a survey, a poll of thousands
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: of people, and they asked people who were raised by
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: a mother and a father, which is becoming rarer and
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: rareer these days. If you had to choose this kind,
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: this is a little dark. If you had to choose
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: one parent who's the more important one. There's a little tease.
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: It's not looking good for us dads. Fifty two percent
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: said their mother was the most involved in daily activities. Okay,
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: that's one thing. But they asked, if you had to
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: replace one, get this. I don't even know who comes
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: up with this stuff. If you had to replace one,
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: who would you replace? A majority of people said dad.
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: And isn't it true? Meaning I think mom is the
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: more important parent? And I was thinking about this when
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: I saw this early this morning and I said, boy,
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: that's kind of rough.
• 17:30
  Speaker 2: But you know what, I can't argue with that.
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: To be honest with you, if going back to when
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: my kids were younger, if God came down from the
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: heavens and he said, okay, one of you, this is terrible,
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: one of you has to go, I think I'd I
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: think I'd say, okay, take me whatever, that's fine, because
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: it's like, I think my kids can survive, I think
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: without me. But they need their mom. If you ever
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: doubt that, if you have got multiple kids, whenever they're
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: like an injury or something, who do they run to first?
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: Right to mom? It happens all the time, and moms
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: are awesome. They really are. Now. Granted, the best case
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: scenario is to have both parents in the house and
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: both parents that do a good job. But moms are
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: just something extra special. Dads. We have to just admit that. That's
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: a reason why they spend a billion dollars on Mother's
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: Day gifts this weekend. That's what the that's what the
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: Retailers Association says. You know what us dads get for
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: Father's Day like on average, like a like a nine
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: dollars gift and a tie. But whatever, we love our
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: moms and speaking of moms is just another reminder again.
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: I got that interview coming up later on today. I'm
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: gonna record with a really cool guy. I like his
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: stuff a lot. I've followed him for quite some time.
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: His name is doctor Steven sitter Off, and he talks
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: about turning stress into a superpower. Nobody is more stressed
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: out these days than moms. I see it personally. So
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: this is the Mother's Day special and that'll be posted
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: on the Wicked Wisdom social media channels wherever you get
• 18:59
