• 0:19
  Speaker 1: always owe money. I guarantee that's in the comments at
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: some point you're today, But Angie, what is the dumbest thing.
• 0:25
  Speaker 3: You've ever blown your tax? Or turn on?
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: Because it feels so good in the moment, and then
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: like a month later, you're always saying to yourself, why
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: did I buy this?
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: I still think about this fifteen years later?
• 0:38
  Speaker 3: Oh wow, that longs Yes. Wow.
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: Way back when, in two thousand and eleven, I used
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: my tax return, and back then it was like I
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: was a new tax filer or whatever. My return was
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: like eight hundred bucks.
• 0:55
  Speaker 3: Right, You thought you were rich.
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: I thought I was rich, and I thought I'm gonna
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: get even richer. I'm going to buy this gargantuan machine
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: to print graphic tea I can draw. I felt like
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: I had a creative enough brain to come up with
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: the dopest graphic teas in history.
• 1:15
  Speaker 3: So it's like an investment.
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: You thought, Yes, so I spend this eight hundred dollars
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: on this machine and then I quite literally have never
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: opened it.
• 1:25
  Speaker 3: You still have it. I still have it.
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: It is brand new. Well, no, it's fifteen years old,
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: but it's just in pristine condition. It's never been open,
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: never taken out of the box. Obviously, I do not
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: have a thriving graphic.
• 1:39
  Speaker 3: T shirt business start.
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: I know now it's too late. Now, it feels just
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: so far gone. But yeah, fifteen years ago, I could
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: have done a lot better things with that eight hundred dollars.
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: I could have saved it, I could have invested it.
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: I'm glad bitcoin wasn't around back then, though, because I
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: might have done some of that and I would have
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: messed myself up. But yeah, I think about it every day.
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: Every time tax day rolls around, I think, wow, I
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: really blew that money for no reason.
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: You know, I really respect Trevor on our Facebook page, Trevor.
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: The dumbest thing Trevor's blown his tax return on was
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: strip Club. And you know what, sometimes you just gotta.
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: Do it, Okay, but he probably helps some ladies get
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: through college, and that's commendable.
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: That's right, Ashley said, slot machines in Vegas doing some
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: gambling in your native homeland. It, Yeah, you did say
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: it was only about two hundred bucks, but it was
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: still dumb. And then we have Lisa, Kara and Lisa
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: who all said return what's that or some various version
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: of that. Poor one of the Lisa says, I only
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: get to pay in thousands of dollars. That is one
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: of my worst nightmares. I go to the tax guy,
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: you know, I'm psyched, or tax lady, and I'm psyched, like,
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: oh yeah, I might get a grand back or a
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: couple of grand who knows, you know, whatever the number is.
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: And then they go, actually, you owe the government thirteen bucks.
• 3:00
  Speaker 3: It would be irate.
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: You know what, You're about to have a baby, so
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: next year you get to claim that child text credit.
• 3:07

• 3:49
  Speaker 2: from heat, styling, sure and straightening all the time. And
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: now that the weather is turning, I know, sometimes she
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: gets confused and she goes back to how she was,
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: But there is turning and that's always the best time
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: for my hair to be in its natural state. And
• 4:06

  Speaker 1: all the notes right and practice is fun and goes
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: well for you.
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: Violin is such a fascinating instrument to me. I think
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: it sounds so beautiful, and when people can play it
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: on like a level that's listenable, it's really impressive. So
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: good on you girl.
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: My little victory today is I have I think discovered
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: one of my top three favorite new leftover foods. All right,
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: any kind any kind of uh, you know, like Chinese
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: food or Ocasian type of food. The next day I
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: always think is so good. I don't know if it's
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: like maybe all the grease has settled.
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's coagulated. It's delicious. Yeah.
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: And then you know, spaghetti is always pretty good leftover.
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you don't even have to heat it up, honestly.
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: Well, you know Taj the restaurant we love, the Indian
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: restaurant that would.
• 5:42
  Speaker 3: All course of course.
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 5:45
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: Well Corey and I and Bye. I I mean I
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: just go with to help by the ingredients. I don't
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: do any of anything. But Corey kind of got inspired
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: and started making her own kind of buttered chicken the
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: same way they do at TAJ, or as close to
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: it as passaj is goaded.
• 6:02
  Speaker 3: Yeah, but that stuff.
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: Corey made some of it the other day and I
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: had some of it for lunch for leftovers yesterday.
• 6:10
  Speaker 3: So fire, literally change.
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: You had my life in your office?
• 6:14
  Speaker 4: Right?
• 6:14
  Speaker 3: No? No, something else? Okay, I ate this at home,
• 6:17
  Speaker 3: but I could bring it in. Maybe I'll do that.
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: Say sometimes I walk into your office after you've eaten it,
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: and I know it's not soup, but it always smells
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: really good.
• 6:26
  Speaker 3: What was that I have discovered?
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: Yeah, buttered chicken leftover is pretty dang fire. I have
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: a question I need to know the answer to. If
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: you have a guess or if you have an opinion,
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: I want to know today seven oh one two eight
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: zero one nine eight seven we just had I'm glad
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: we just had Sabrina Carpenter there with espresso. Do you
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: think when Sabrina goes out with her not famous, not
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: rich friends, she picks up the tab Like Taylor Swift
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: has to have childhood friends that obviously aren't rich or
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: famous that she hangs out with. Justin Bieber's gotta have
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: childhood friends that he hangs out.
• 7:06
  Speaker 3: With when he goes back and visits Canada, who.
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: Obviously aren't one hundred millionaires when they go out and
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: do things together. Do you think these mega rich celebrities
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: pick up the tab seven oh one two eight zero.
• 7:20
  Speaker 3: One nine eight seven?
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: They better?
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: Do you think their friends expect them to pick up
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: the tab like justin got it?
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: Well, they should expect that. I think I saw this
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: interview once between Oprah and Chelsea Handler and they were
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: discussing about picking up the tab, and Chelsea Handler and
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: Oprah both agree it is clear that in their friend
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: groups they are the ones with the most money, right
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: and so and so if you're at a dinner, Chelsea
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: Handler's like, I'm gonna pick up the tab. It's embarrassing
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: to be like, oh, who got one and split that
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: I clearly have the most money. I'm just gonna pick
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: up the tab, right And Oprah agreed and said that's
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: the same with her as she just picks up the tab.
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: And I feel like, duh. At no point, if I
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: happened to who would I want to be friends with?
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: If I happened to meet Hillary Duff, for example, and
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: we became besties and we went out to lunch and
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: there was any semblance of like, who's gonna pick up
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: the check? I guess we're not friends anymore because clearly,
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: Hillary Duff, you got money, honey, in a way that
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: I don't. I think it's embarrassing if a celebrity doesn't
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: pick up the tab because what are you doing?
• 8:27
  Speaker 3: Yeah?
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: And you know, like Bieber or Taylor, they have the
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: money to afford very easily to go do some crazy
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: fun things that maybe there regular human friends can't afford
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: to go do.
• 8:39
  Speaker 3: So that'd be a little different.
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: Like if Bieber calls up his buddy and is like,
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: hey man, you want to go skydiving and he his
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: buddy's like, well, I don't have five hundred dollars to
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: pay to go skydiving today.
• 8:49
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm assuming he'd be like, I got you, I
• 8:51
  Speaker 3: got you.
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: I feel like unless they have friends that are like, no,
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: I really want to feel like I'm paying my own
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: way and I want things to be fair, so you
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: don't always have to pick up the tab. Fine, but
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: I'll tell you right now, I'm not that kind of friend.
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: If you rich, rich, you better be paying the tab
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: because the other thing is that also if I invite
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: someone over for something and then and we decide, like,
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: let's go do something else, And it was my idea.
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: I probably will cover their tab. Sure, And I ain't
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: even got money like that.
• 9:22
  Speaker 3: Because I think about it.
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: I've watched this interview once with Justin Bieber where he
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: talked about just things he does for fun. You know,
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: sometimes he will literally just go to a random dive
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: bar and just hang out and like have a beer. Yeah,
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: and some people obviously get very excited about it, but
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: he really clearly enjoys when people don't. He mentioned some
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: people don't really care and it's kind of cool.
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: One of my dreams in life would be to run
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: into some uba rich, mega celebrity in some dive bar
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: and be like, no, I want to buy you a beer,
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: so that I can say I bought you a beer.
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: Like okay, when okay, I like that I bought.
• 9:56
  Speaker 3: Some random dude a beer. That's not a story.
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: But if I can have in my back pocket, like,
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: oh man, I bought Taylor a cocktail yesterday, that would
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: be so awesome.
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: You know what, Gabe, I've done what I like that,
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: I like that, I like that.
• 10:10
  Speaker 3: That all right?
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: Well, let us know what you think seven oh one
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: two eight zero one nine eight seven. If you have
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: an uber rich friend, uh, maybe they're even a celebrity.
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: Not all you know, people who are rich are celebrities. Obviously.
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: Do they pick up the tab all the time? Do
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: you expect them to pick up the tab? It's probably
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: nice for you to pick it up once in a while,
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: but I.
• 10:32
  Speaker 3: Don't want to exactly seven oh one two eight zero
• 10:36
  Speaker 3: one nine eight seven. What do you think.
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: This would be great news? Exam for example, Angie, for
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: my younger sister. My younger sister is thirty two, thirty
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: two or thirty three? I can never remember.
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: Great, what a wonderful brother?
• 10:50
  Speaker 3: But well I lose track.
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: My brother older brother's either three or two years older
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: than me, and then my sister's the other one.
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: I can't okay, but well, let's give her some good
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: news that.
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: Yes, my sister is terrified of needles when she has
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: to get shots at the doctor. You know you're afraid
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: of birds, Yeah, she's got that.
• 11:10
  Speaker 3: But with needles.
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: Interesting.
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: So, if you are someone who is not a fan
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: of shots or needles, if you despise them, there might
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: be some liquid courage that could help you and no,
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: I'm not talking about doing shots before you go in
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: to get your shots.
• 11:27
  Speaker 3: Okay, shot, that's right.
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: There is a virologist named Chris Buck and he believes
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: he's created an experimental vaccine beer using engineered yeast to
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: deliver antigens.
• 11:43
  Speaker 3: To your body. All right, listen to me talk about it.
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: Right here, about to drink the first vaccine beer the
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: world has ever seen.
• 11:49
  Speaker 3: I made this beer.
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: In my home lab set up, and I'm hoping that
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: eventually it will be able.
• 11:56
  Speaker 5: To protect transplant patients against a horrible virus callum plyma virus.
• 12:01
  Speaker 3: Now, as you heard there, these obviously aren't.
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: Immunea's immune is immunisation. It's just, for the love of goodness,
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: thank you. Ah, it's for these poly oma viruses, small
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: viruses that essentially it can cause like infections in your body. Okay,
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: would you be in favor of this if you had
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: to go down this route, would you chug one of
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: these beers if needed?
• 12:24
  Speaker 3: Or would you take the shot? I think this is wonderful.
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: This is the easiest way to get me to get
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: a shot in the history of life.
• 12:30
  Speaker 2: This is a weird thing about me, but I absolutely
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: love needles that sounds so weird. God, I really like
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: getting an ivy in, and I think it's because I
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: have such great Every nurse that has ever put an
• 12:46
  Speaker 2: ivy in me or drawn blood has told me that
• 12:49
  Speaker 2: I have excellent veins. They're nice and spongy and ready to.
• 12:54
  Speaker 3: Take a little bit of pride, do I do?
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: So?
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: It's never like a tough time, sir, chink for the
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: vein or all. We're gonna have to do it through
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: your hand, just right there in my arm. I'm just
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: looking at it right now. She's beautiful, she's ready phlebottomist
• 13:08
  Speaker 2: dream over here. Yeah, no, I don't mind a shot. However,
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: if this beer is gonna give me an give me
• 13:17
  Speaker 2: some sort of immunity and then also make me feel buzzed,
• 13:20
  Speaker 2: and maybe I would.
• 13:21
  Speaker 3: Take it now.
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: Technically, the inspiration it was not for people who are
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: afraid of needles. It's because the researchers they just haven't
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: developed an injectable vaccine for the viruses yet, so maybe
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: that at some point will be on the way. What
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: I will tell you right now, if I have the
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: choice between a shot, you know you take a lot
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: of pride in being able to get your vein you
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: got good veins and shots and what have you. I
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: take the same amount of pride and how fast I
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: can chug a beer, So I would love to show
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: off in front of these doctors.
• 13:52
  Speaker 3: This is am I the problem? It's me Hi.
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: The problem is me here one side of the story,
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: and with your help, decide if it's right or if

  Speaker 2: expecting our first kid end of next month, and we
• 14:40
  Speaker 2: still haven't settled on a name because the one I
• 14:42
  Speaker 2: want isn't the one she wants. And she says at
• 14:46
  Speaker 2: the end of the day she gets final say since
• 14:50
  Speaker 2: she's the one who is literally giving birth. I clearly
• 14:55
  Speaker 2: don't agree with that. The baby is my kid too,
• 14:57
  Speaker 2: and I should have as much say as her. Do
• 15:00
  Speaker 2: you think since I'm not physically pregnant, my opinion doesn't
• 15:04
  Speaker 2: count as much? Or she being unreasonable? What are your thoughts?
• 15:10
  Speaker 3: Well, there's a both and here. Okay.
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: I understand why she would want a certain name. She
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: is doing the heavy well not the heavy lifting, she's
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: doing quite literally all of the lifting.
• 15:22
  Speaker 3: That's right, all of it. But I also understand why.
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: Hey, you know your dad too, you should have some
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: say that you're kind of gonna lose.
• 15:29
  Speaker 3: Lose.
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: Here's what you do, all right, as adults who are
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: obviously mature enough to create a baby, to create life.
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: What you both do is neither of you get your name,
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: and you find a different one that you both can
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: agree on. Then everybody loses and you're both miserable. You
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. I think that's how you go
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: about it. By I am having a daughter sometime this summer. Yeah,
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: and her first name is going to be wonderful.
• 15:53
  Speaker 2: You know.
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: I kind of didn't have a ton of say in it,
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: which is fine, And there's a reason why I didn't
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: have a ton of say. Already has an older sister
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: who is sadly no longer around anymore, and her name
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: is going to be kind of a combo of her
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: first and middle name made into one.
• 16:08
  Speaker 3: Yeah, how am I going to argue that? Okay?
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: And that might sound kind of hurt, but it's like
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: what am I supposed to say?
• 16:14
  Speaker 4: Like?
• 16:14
  Speaker 2: Not that?
• 16:16
  Speaker 3: Do that? Aiden?
• 16:17
  Speaker 2: My older one, his middle name is in honor of
• 16:21
  Speaker 2: my ex's dear friend who passed away. So I was
• 16:25
  Speaker 2: not gonna veto that.
• 16:26
  Speaker 3: Yeah, you're not gonna fight that.
• 16:27
  Speaker 2: Right, But I will say this. When I was both
• 16:30
  Speaker 2: times that I was pregnant, I was very clear that
• 16:35
  Speaker 2: when it comes to naming, I feel like I should
• 16:38
  Speaker 2: get final say because I physically, not only do you
• 16:41
  Speaker 2: have to incubate and grow this baby, and literally pregnancy
• 16:45
  Speaker 2: is a parasitic relationship. You're not getting anything from the pregnancy.
• 16:48
  Speaker 3: It's like a crock pott on low.
• 16:50
  Speaker 2: For eight hours, the baby is draining all of you.
• 16:55
  Speaker 2: And then you have to give birth to this thing,
• 16:58
  Speaker 2: whether you're pushing that baby out or they have to
• 17:02
  Speaker 2: cut the baby out of you. Both incredible traumas to
• 17:07
  Speaker 2: your body. And so I always said, if I'm the
• 17:11
  Speaker 2: one who has to go through all that, I get
• 17:12
  Speaker 2: final say on the name. Sure, when it came down
• 17:16
  Speaker 2: to it, I was gonna have a Leonidas, but I
• 17:22
  Speaker 2: did give my man some say and that's why we
• 17:25
  Speaker 2: have an aiden. And then with Liam, I was like, no,
• 17:28
  Speaker 2: this time, I'm really gonna get the name that I chose.
• 17:33
  Speaker 2: And I would have had a Tyrian, but no, I
• 17:36
  Speaker 2: have a Liam because I compromised with dad. And I
• 17:40
  Speaker 2: think it's easy. In the while you're pregnant, the hormones
• 17:44
  Speaker 2: are going crazy. Don't ever tell your wife she's hormonal,
• 17:47
  Speaker 2: though only we're allowed to say it about ourselves. That's right,
• 17:50
  Speaker 2: But you know, it's like, if I'm going through this
• 17:52
  Speaker 2: and I really want this, but I think at the
• 17:54
  Speaker 2: end of the day, if you're partners who love each other,
• 17:58
  Speaker 2: you aren't going to pick a name that your partner
• 18:02
  Speaker 2: doesn't like. I ended up compromising with my man, and
• 18:05
  Speaker 2: I love my kids' names. They're very basic, but I
• 18:09
  Speaker 2: love their their names, and I'm glad that I didn't
• 18:12
  Speaker 2: die on that hill.
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: I just think there's so many different there's obviously millions
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: of names to choose from.
• 18:19
  Speaker 3: If you can't.
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: Agree on two or whatever, can't you just find one
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: that you both agree on. I mean, there are so
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: many for you to rifle off or go through or
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: ask Google or chat GPT. Can you mean some names
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: that start with this letter? I mean this or stand
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: for this? There's so many, just find a different one.
• 18:37
  Speaker 2: I think there is still time. You've got like a
• 18:40
  Speaker 2: month and some change to go. I think everything's gonna
• 18:44
  Speaker 2: be fine. Don't fight your wife too much on it.
• 18:48
  Speaker 2: She's going through a lot, but I think there will
• 18:50
  Speaker 2: be a compromise. What do you think? Seven oh one
• 18:52
  Speaker 2: two eight zho one nine eight seven? Have you gone
• 18:55
  Speaker 2: through this?
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: Do?
• 18:56
  Speaker 2: Who you think? It's the final say? On the baby's
• 19:00
  Speaker 2: We also have this posted to our Facebook page, so
• 19:03
  Speaker 2: hit us up there. What are your thoughts on?
• 19:05
  Speaker 5: Or?
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: Was there a name that you actually died on that hill?
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: You were not gonna budge you didn't? Yeah, what is
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: the name? Let us know that too? Seven oh one
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: two eight zero one seventy And we do have Duaba
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: on the phone, a name we love. By the way,
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: how did you go about picking your kids' names?
• 19:30
  Speaker 4: I didn't get to pick either one of my kids's names?
• 19:32
  Speaker 2: Really what? Nope?
• 19:35
  Speaker 4: I gave I got two names up for my oldest
• 19:38
  Speaker 4: and my sister and niece pick picked that name and
• 19:41
  Speaker 4: I got to So I had two picks names from
• 19:44
  Speaker 4: my oldest daughter, and they picked her first name, and
• 19:47
  Speaker 4: then the middle name was the second choice. So I
• 19:51
  Speaker 4: got to pick her middle name. And then my youngest
• 19:54
  Speaker 4: my husband picked her name.
• 19:56
  Speaker 3: Well, it sounds like you were pretty nice and about
• 20:00
  Speaker 3: what they were going to go with.
• 20:02
  Speaker 4: It was a very nice and then and then my
• 20:04
  Speaker 4: youngest is like, but Mom, I like the name you
• 20:08
  Speaker 4: picked for my name better than what Dad picks.
• 20:12
  Speaker 3: Don't you hate that one? Dad screwed it up again?
• 20:14
  Speaker 2: Okay, but now she can rub that in his face forever.
• 20:18
  Speaker 2: Darren and his wife are expecting their first kid at
• 20:22
  Speaker 2: the end of next month. They haven't agreed on a name,
• 20:24
  Speaker 2: but his wife says that she should get final say
• 20:27
  Speaker 2: because she's the one physically giving birth. He feels like
• 20:31
  Speaker 2: that's unreasonable and he should have equals say. So of
• 20:34
  Speaker 2: course he turned to us, the experts on Nothing, to
• 20:39
  Speaker 2: give him some advice. But thank god we have you,
• 20:42
  Speaker 2: and so we also have this up on our Facebook page.
• 20:46
  Speaker 2: We got some responses. Katie said that with my first
• 20:50
  Speaker 2: I chose the first name and Dad solely chose the
• 20:53
  Speaker 2: middle name. I have no say since I got the
• 20:55
  Speaker 2: name I wanted that's the thing. That'd be an option
• 21:01
  Speaker 2: for him to do the middle name. In my household,
• 21:04
  Speaker 2: ain't none of us got middle names though.
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: That's yeah, the idea of he can pick the middle name,
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: like that's some victory is the most If you're not first,
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: your last.
• 21:14
  Speaker 3: Of all, Angie, you don't even have I doubt.
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: I bet one of my best friends on earth his
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: name is Chris, no middle name. So let's not act like, oh,
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: he can pick the middle name, like that's some victory.
• 21:25
  Speaker 3: No, that might be.
• 21:27
  Speaker 2: No, that might be because, on the other hand, there
• 21:29
  Speaker 2: are some people who strictly go by their middle names.
• 21:32
  Speaker 2: So maybe that's the move. Fine, you name her or
• 21:36
  Speaker 2: I don't know what the baby is, but you name
• 21:38
  Speaker 2: the baby whatever you want. Then what I want to
• 21:41
  Speaker 2: be the middle name, and then let the kids choose
• 21:44
  Speaker 2: which your name they like better. I like that.
• 21:46
  Speaker 3: I do too.
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: We did have Jacqueline who also Jacqueline was kind of
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: on the other side of this. There's a lot of
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: ladies who have chimed in and said, hey, she's doing
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: the heavy lifting, she gets kind of the priority, which
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: I think is, you know, fairly fair. But Jacqueline said,
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: I do not think just because she's pregnant that she
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: gets the stronger say in this situation, carrying a child
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: for the family, I assume you both agreed upon growing
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: does not give her a pass to sway decisions in
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: her favor. You must always compromise and weigh all the options.
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: Can one of the names be a middle name instead
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: or be used for a different child if you choose
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: to have more than one, That is also true if
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: you are stuck on two names, you could, in theory,
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: be like, hey, we kind of have planned on having
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: more than one. Yeah, I'll just pass this time up.
• 22:32
  Speaker 2: That's actually a good that's a good idea to as well.
• 22:36
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I do find I do find them.
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: Well, you get the middle name to be kind of funny,
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: like we all know no one do you even know
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: my middle name?
• 22:44
  Speaker 2: Oh my god, Gabriel Frederick.
• 22:48
  Speaker 3: That's how not important that name?
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: How do you split chores at your household? Seven oh
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: one two eight zero one nine eight? And I've already
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: seen some comments on Facebook that really just kind of
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: made me laugh in a sense of like it's like,
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: what do you mean split them?
• 23:08
  Speaker 3: I just do them all, And for that I feel bad.
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: How do you split the jors at your house, and
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: you have two kids, you have Mikey who lives there,
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: so there's four of you.
• 23:18
  Speaker 3: How do you divvy on up? Those bad boys?
• 23:20
  Speaker 2: I am going to say, generally how it goes. There
• 23:25
  Speaker 2: are exceptions. I'm not saying that the men in my
• 23:29
  Speaker 2: house don't do anything. However, I live in a boy house. Okay,
• 23:35
  Speaker 2: Mikey the other day, I'm a boy when he was
• 23:38
  Speaker 2: doing something gross like these boys do not pick up
• 23:42
  Speaker 2: after themselves unless repeatedly asked, and I get tired of
• 23:47
  Speaker 2: doing that. I get tired of hearing the sound of
• 23:49
  Speaker 2: my own voice, believe it or not. And so usually
• 23:52
  Speaker 2: what happens, No, usually what happens is mess accumulates throughout
• 23:58
  Speaker 2: the week. I this is my fault. I don't really
• 24:02
  Speaker 2: say anything about it because I just feel like I'm
• 24:05
  Speaker 2: wasting my breath. And then come the weekend, I lose
• 24:09
  Speaker 2: my damn mind and I start aggressively cleaning clean, Yes
• 24:16
  Speaker 2: I'm rage cleaning, and then making unnecessary commentary throughout the
• 24:22
  Speaker 2: entire time. No one in this house ever helps me.
• 24:24
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, I guess I'll just clean this myself. Mm hmm. Oh,
• 24:27
  Speaker 2: couldn't put that in the sceink. Great, I'll wash it
• 24:30
  Speaker 2: like it's just that for a very long time until
• 24:33
  Speaker 2: I get everything clean, and during which then they offer,
• 24:38
  Speaker 2: well I could do No, I'm already doing it. Well,
• 24:41
  Speaker 2: let me take up the tread. No, I already got it.
• 24:44
  Speaker 2: And so essentially I'm my own worst enemy.
• 24:46
  Speaker 3: This sounds healthy.
• 24:50
  Speaker 5: So if anyone has an actually healthy way to split
• 24:54
  Speaker 5: up chores that actually works, please let me know, because
• 24:58
  Speaker 5: I already wants to Today Wednesday comes Saturday.
• 25:01
  Speaker 2: I'm about to be a month.
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: Seven oh one two eight zero one nine eight seven.
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: Once again, how do you split up the chores in
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: your household? This also is up on Facebook, and it
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: looks like we do have Derek on the phone.
• 25:14
  Speaker 3: Derek, how do you split up the chores of your house?
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: It depends on the specific chore, but we try to
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: split up everything evenly.
• 25:20
  Speaker 3: The only thing I can't do is laundry.
• 25:22
  Speaker 2: I'm just not good at it.
• 25:24
  Speaker 3: No, that's the best excuse.
• 25:26
  Speaker 2: I think that's weaponized incompetence.
• 25:28
  Speaker 3: I don't like your best excuse.
• 25:30
  Speaker 1: Ever, according to my wife, I would be the best
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: water getter of all time and the best popcorn maker
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: of all time.
• 25:36
  Speaker 3: So well, that's fair.
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: I put popcorn in the microwave better than anybody, I
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: believe it. Yeah, this is very fun to read about
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: on Facebook. There are some actually good ideas on here.
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: I like this from I believe it's Jared. He said,
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: we have three kids, two teen kids, one born on
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: the twenty fourth and one on the twenty seventh. They
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: alternate dishes day based off of odd or even day
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: of the month. It works awesome, so there is never
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: any I did them last fights, and our little guy
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: is on daily dog feeding duty usually works well, which
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: I think that's actually really smart.
• 26:13
  Speaker 2: This odd even day thing is so cute for the dishes,
• 26:16
  Speaker 2: and I feel I want to do that with Aiden
• 26:20
  Speaker 2: and Liam because they have odd even birthdays. Okay, I
• 26:23
  Speaker 2: think it's not. Liam about to be nine at the
• 26:26
  Speaker 2: end of this month, so he's gonna start washing some dishes.
• 26:29
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I do like that. I think that's pretty good.
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: Tammy says split Lol, I do ninety nine percent, which
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: I don't know.
• 26:35
  Speaker 3: That kind of breaks my heart just a little bit.
• 26:37
  Speaker 2: I think part of that though, because now that I'm
• 26:40
  Speaker 2: thinking about it, when it comes to dishes, a lot
• 26:42
  Speaker 2: of us think that the other person does it.
• 26:45
  Speaker 3: Wrong, right.
• 26:46
  Speaker 2: I think when you're taking on that many chores, it's
• 26:49
  Speaker 2: because you think the other person does it poorly.
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: Yeah, they don't do it how you want it done. Yeah,
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: I feel you on that. All right, Well we do
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: have Miranda on the Fall of Miranda.
• 26:57
  Speaker 3: What about you? Okay? So I tried to hold show
• 27:00
  Speaker 3: chart saying and that lasted like three days.
• 27:02
  Speaker 4: And now we just do whoever gets annoyed first does
• 27:05
  Speaker 4: it like I have to think it's full. The person
• 27:07
  Speaker 4: who snaps first loses and has to do the dishes.
• 27:09
  Speaker 3: That is exactly lose.
• 27:12
  Speaker 2: I get annoyed first.
• 27:13
  Speaker 3: That's exactly how yours work at my Hausia.
• 27:18
  Speaker 2: I need some good.
• 27:21
  Speaker 3: Starting off the day with something good.
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: This is Gabe's good News on Big ninety eight point seven.
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: Isaiah Lawson is a seventeen year old cancer survivor from
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: Fergus Falls, and he's turning his experience into a way
• 27:37
  Speaker 1: to help others. He created Zaios Jammy's, a specialized clothing
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: design with zippers and access points to make medical treatments
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: easier and more comfortable for kids battling illness. Now a
• 27:51
  Speaker 1: high school senior and athlete, Isaiah is using his invention
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: to compete in a National Entrepreneur of Impact contest where
• 27:59
  Speaker 1: he he's currently in first place.
• 28:01
  Speaker 3: If he wins, he'll receive mentorship.
• 28:03
  Speaker 1: I had a twenty five thousand dollars scholarship to help
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: grow his idea. And here's what he had to say
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: about his journey and the whole ordeal.
• 28:12
  Speaker 3: But yeah, no, it was definitely a character building thing.
• 28:15
  Speaker 3: I'm glad it happened to me. I wouldn't be who
• 28:17
  Speaker 3: I am if this didn't happen to me.
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: If that's not the definition of you know, obviously something
• 28:21
  Speaker 1: very negative and turning it into a positive and using
• 28:24
  Speaker 1: it to try to help lift up others, I don't
• 28:27
  Speaker 1: know what is so way to go to Isaiah. I
• 28:29
  Speaker 1: hope he wins it and keep doing you man, that's incredible,
• 28:32
  Speaker 1: incredible work out of you. The world is full of
• 28:35
  Speaker 1: nice people. If you can't find one, you gotta be one.
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: And broken crayons they still color
