  Speaker 1: Get the hell out of my way. It's One More.
• 0:03
  Speaker 2: Thing twice in one week. Katie led One More Thing podcast.
• 0:09
  Speaker 2: But before we get to that, I'm asking, well, did
• 0:14
  Speaker 2: you play anything in band, Katie?
• 0:16
  Speaker 3: I wasn't in band, but I've played several instruments growing up.
• 0:20
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Michael, do you ever do band in school?
• 0:24
  Speaker 4: No?
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: I was just wondering last night as I was watching
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: the Christmas concert. My son is a tuba player and
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: he's not really into it, and a lot of the
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: kids don't look like they're that into it, and a
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: lot of Martin Urry, a lot of them have no
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: talent for it. What do you think the benefit is
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: of having kids be in band? I was in band
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: and I liked it. And I play a musical instrument
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: every single day. It's rare if I have a day.
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: I mean today, as a sixty year old, I play
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: something almost every single day. I love it. But what
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: do you think the advantage is? What's in it for
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: kids who are like they don't really have a talent
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: for it and they're not really into it, but they
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: do it anyway.
• 1:04
  Speaker 4: I think there's an advantager. Science is rock solid that
• 1:07
  Speaker 4: is great for your brain, helps you with your math skills.
• 1:11
  Speaker 4: It gets all sorts of different parts of your brain
• 1:14
  Speaker 4: working together in a way that's really healthful.
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: Okay, that's a good one. I'll use that on my kid.
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: Anything else, do you think just like being well rounded
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: or anything like that?
• 1:25
  Speaker 4: Maybe? I don't know. I don't know. I try to
• 1:31
  Speaker 4: avoid advocating stuff just because that's the way I rolled, right, Katie.
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: Sorry, the chicks think it's hot when they get older.
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: I tell Henry that all the time, because Henry does
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: have some talent for music I can tell, and plays
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: a little guitar. So, dude, this is gonna be the
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: best thing you've ever done if you keep up with this.
• 1:53
  Speaker 4: Although if all the girls are into the hippity hop music,
• 1:56
  Speaker 4: is that still true? I don't know. I don't have
• 1:58
  Speaker 4: a sense of that. Now.
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: There's still plenty of singer songwriter stuff on the radio. Yeah,
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: and the country's huge, of course. Yeah.
• 2:03
  Speaker 4: To quote the great John Mellencamp, cut out all of
• 2:06
  Speaker 4: that macho shit and learn how to play guitar.
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: I've played that song before him. Yeah, what instruments did
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: you play, Kadio? I did not know this.
• 2:14
  Speaker 3: I played piano, violin flute, and then I taught myself
• 2:20
  Speaker 3: guitar later on in.
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: Life all past tense, Do you still play anything?
• 2:24
  Speaker 3: I still play the guitar every now and then. I
• 2:26
  Speaker 3: should play it more, but cool. Yeah, I can't not
• 2:30
  Speaker 3: not play something. I need to every day or it
• 2:33
  Speaker 3: makes me very unhappy. It's just I'm driven to it.
• 2:35
  Speaker 3: For whatever reason.
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: It does something for my brain or ability to check out.
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: I found I can't think about anything else when I'm
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: practicing music, so it just automatically makes me not think
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: about anything.
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: My dad does that love that?
• 2:49
  Speaker 4: Yeah, you know. It's funny because I play scales and
• 2:53
  Speaker 4: licks and stuff while I watch the news, because I
• 2:55
  Speaker 4: frequently find the news mostly tedious and depressing. But if
• 2:59
  Speaker 4: I'm concentrated, I realized I did not hear anything that
• 3:02
  Speaker 4: was just said. It obliterates everything else, which is what's
• 3:06
  Speaker 4: so healthy about it.
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: I think John Mayer is a big proponent of sitting
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: there with your guitar while you watch TV and just
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: kind of going through things kind of oh really, yeah,
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: gets in the back of your brain somehow.
• 3:17
  Speaker 4: I wonder, Yeah, I would argue with that handsome devil.
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: So what was your thing about? Get out of your
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: way or whatever? Katie get the hell out of my way.
• 3:26
  Speaker 4: I say that to my dog half a dozen times
• 3:28
  Speaker 4: every single day.
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: Just get out of the way.
• 3:34
  Speaker 3: My sweet friend just broke her ankle because her dog
• 3:38
  Speaker 3: got under her when she was going down some stairs.
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 3:42
  Speaker 4: Yeah, you know, I've always assumed that because Baxter is
• 3:45
  Speaker 4: half a herding dog, that that's part of it. But
• 3:48
  Speaker 4: he will see where you're going and and walk over
• 3:52
  Speaker 4: and stand there like he wants to heard you. And seriously,
• 3:56
  Speaker 4: half a dozen times a day, I say, would you
• 3:58
  Speaker 4: get the hell out of my way? Why did you
• 4:01
  Speaker 4: stand this is a doorway, I say, looking at him.
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: It's just so excited to do whatever you're doing.
• 4:07
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I guess he's a good fellow.
• 4:09
  Speaker 3: Uh So my intro was about the other day at
• 4:14
  Speaker 3: the grocery store. And I don't know why, but I
• 4:17
  Speaker 3: hate little things more than I hate the grocery store.
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: I hate going in there.
• 4:22
  Speaker 3: I just like to go in, I know what I'm getting,
• 4:24
  Speaker 3: get my stuff, get out.
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: And so I'm going to get the coffee.
• 4:28
  Speaker 3: And I noticed like a couple of people kind of
• 4:31
  Speaker 3: standing as if they were waiting to get into the aisle,
• 4:34
  Speaker 3: and I'm like, oh God, okay, of course of course
• 4:37
  Speaker 3: this is happening on the aisle.
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: I need to go down. The reason they were.
• 4:40
  Speaker 3: Doing that is because this chick that was probably maybe
• 4:46
  Speaker 3: late twenties at I kid you not, had a camera
• 4:51
  Speaker 3: set up on a shopping cart and was doing a
• 4:53
  Speaker 3: TikTok dance and no one was telling her to move.
• 4:55
  Speaker 4: Wow, my god, shame I wasn't there.
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: Oh I wish I think we're all figuring.
• 5:02
  Speaker 4: God, why doesn't that happen to me?
• 5:04
  Speaker 5: Yeah, it would have.
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: Been a different type of video if I was there.
• 5:06
  Speaker 3: Oh well, and I'm sitting there and I'm watching her,
• 5:09
  Speaker 3: and she didn't have the camera facing like we the
• 5:12
  Speaker 3: group was not standing behind her.
• 5:14
  Speaker 4: Oh.
• 5:14
  Speaker 3: If I had been in shot, this would be a
• 5:15
  Speaker 3: completely different broadcast. But it was away from us and
• 5:20
  Speaker 3: just complete disregard for the fact. I mean, there was
• 5:23
  Speaker 3: this sweet little old lady who was probably in her
• 5:26
  Speaker 3: mid eighties, like just trying to get her tea, you know,
• 5:30
  Speaker 3: and she's sitting there doing this stupid f and dance
• 5:33
  Speaker 3: and finally.
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: This big, burly cowboy dude went.
• 5:37
  Speaker 4: Hey, move, good job, burly cowboy dude.
• 5:42
  Speaker 3: But it was just I mean, I don't I don't understand.
• 5:46
  Speaker 3: I've had a moment of like, where am I? How
• 5:49
  Speaker 3: did I end up here?
• 5:50
  Speaker 4: Where I am?
• 5:51
  Speaker 3: Stopped at a grocery aisle because a woman is dancing
• 5:54
  Speaker 3: to a camera.
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I can see how a lot of kindly older
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: people would think I need to stay out of their way.
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: They're doing something.
• 6:03
  Speaker 3: Yeah, there were three people just waiting for her to
• 6:06
  Speaker 3: People lack the confidence to say what clearly needs to
• 6:10
  Speaker 3: be said.
• 6:11
  Speaker 4: Yeah, you know, it's it's funny. I I was thinking
• 6:15
  Speaker 4: what I was about to say is such a truism,
• 6:17
  Speaker 4: But then I realized, No, I think the vast majority
• 6:20
  Speaker 4: of the population, especially younger, younger people, have never heard this.
• 6:24
  Speaker 4: I was gonna say, Katie, what is required of good
• 6:26
  Speaker 4: people for evil to triumph? They're silence.
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: That's all this requested.
• 6:32
  Speaker 4: Would you don't let the evil of TikTok dancing clog
• 6:36
  Speaker 4: the grocery aisles of our society? Say something? What would
• 6:40
  Speaker 4: you have said, you dumb mother? No, I just excuse me,
• 6:48
  Speaker 4: just pushed past.
• 6:50
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: I was too deeply, too deep in the line to
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: do that.
• 6:53
  Speaker 3: But and it was also the fact that that this
• 6:55
  Speaker 3: wasn't a teenager, which I mean, even if it was
• 6:58
  Speaker 3: a teenager, it would have been annoying, but it would
• 6:59
  Speaker 3: have been like, Okay, they're dumb. You know, this woman's
• 7:02
  Speaker 3: frontal lobe is fully developed, you know what I mean?
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I think I would have just walked to whatever
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: product I need to get and shop. I would have
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: just shopped like I was normally gonna shop. And if
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: we end up in the same space, excuse me, not lucky.
• 7:14
  Speaker 4: Yeah, carts in my way, excuse me, excuse me, I
• 7:17
  Speaker 4: gotta get by you.
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: Thanks, right where I needed to be, of course, and
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: I stood.
• 7:23
  Speaker 3: I stood there like an ass I was like, I
• 7:25
  Speaker 3: think it was because my brain didn't really understand what
• 7:27
  Speaker 3: was happening.
• 7:29
  Speaker 4: Right. That's funny, isn't that when that sort of thing
• 7:32
  Speaker 4: happens in life that you think it's so weird you
• 7:35
  Speaker 4: don't like have a I think psychologists would tell you
• 7:38
  Speaker 4: you don't have a script for it, which is the
• 7:41
  Speaker 4: psychological You walk into a church, for instance, if you've
• 7:44
  Speaker 4: ever been in churches, you know how to act, you
• 7:46
  Speaker 4: know what is where and roughly what's going on. If
• 7:49
  Speaker 4: you go, like to a Catholic church as a Protestant,
• 7:51
  Speaker 4: your script is a little bit off and you have
• 7:53
  Speaker 4: to adjust it. And that sort of thing if you
• 7:55
  Speaker 4: try to go down a grocery all if somebody's doing
• 7:57
  Speaker 4: a TikTok dance, you don't really have a script for that.
• 8:01
  Speaker 4: You got entirely ad lib the whole thing. And yeah,
• 8:03
  Speaker 4: I get it. There's a moment of a right, wait
• 8:05
  Speaker 4: a minute, this is so weird. What do we do?
• 8:07
  Speaker 5: Yeah?
• 8:08
  Speaker 3: I totally had that, And well, now that I'm seasoned,
• 8:10
  Speaker 3: I'll just knock her out next time.
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: Speaking of TikTok, it's like when the guy did the
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: splits and ate the the entire raw egg in front
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: of that yes, exactly boiled egg. It's like I didn't
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: I didn't react the way I wish I would have
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: reacted because it was a little cognitive dissonance going on.
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: Because I do not have a script for somebody doing
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: the splits, getting lower and lower, pulling a full hard
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: boiled egg out of their backpack, and then eating it
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: in front of me.
• 8:34
  Speaker 4: I didn't know what to do performance art. Yeah, I
• 8:37
  Speaker 4: found out that that guy does that. That's his thing.
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: That's his thing all the time.
• 8:41
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I wonder how we.
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: Came up with that.
• 8:43
  Speaker 4: Here's what how many iterations he went through? You know,
• 8:47
  Speaker 4: I'm gonna squat and uh and munch on a nice
• 8:50
  Speaker 4: ripe slice of watermelon. No, that's not really good.
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: It'll lay on my back and eat sardines.
• 8:54
  Speaker 4: No better if I do splits and eat sardines. Now,
• 8:58
  Speaker 4: that's still not think.
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: I see that guy around town now, and then I
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: think I wish he'd come over now because I got
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: a bit of the jerk store calling her out of you.
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: I mean, I got I'm ready to talk to him now,
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: but he's gonna end up stalking the guy just hoping
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: he does it again. Hey, buddy, how you doing. You
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: got any like weird skills or anything.
• 9:22
  Speaker 5: Katie, I'm surprised that you just didn't go pick up
• 9:24
  Speaker 5: your product and just maybe put a couple of dance
• 9:26
  Speaker 5: moves on video right along with her.
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: You know, I join in and catch her again. I'll
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: show her a dance move.
• 9:33
  Speaker 4: Her Blewie. Well, I guess that's it.
