Latest / Let's Ask the Mamas! / Random Thoughts
Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: We got a question for our American mamas. Dear mamas,
- 0:02Speaker 1: what are your most random thoughts?
- 0:05Speaker 2: Well, let's ask our American mamas.
- 0:08Speaker 3: Mama, mama, mama.
- 0:12Speaker 2: Mama told me not to come.
- 0:15Speaker 1: She said that ain't the way to have fun, no.
- 0:20Speaker 1: And joining us now are American Mamas Terry Nedeville and
- 0:23Speaker 1: Kimberly Burleson. I am desperately afraid of this question because
- 0:27Speaker 1: we've been doing this show now together for a long time.
- 0:31Speaker 2: And I know a lot of.
- 0:32Speaker 1: Your thoughts, both of you. But if there's even more
- 0:37Speaker 1: random ones than I know of, I'm just like, I don't.
- 0:40Speaker 1: Maybe we should just skip this one.
- 0:44Speaker 3: I think your random thoughts say a lot about who
- 0:47Speaker 3: you are, your inner thoughts, what your.
- 0:49Speaker 2: Mind dwells on. Yeah, I agree with that.
- 0:52Speaker 3: I was thinking about this the other night, and my
- 0:54Speaker 3: thought was, what did men do before cups were invented
- 1:00Speaker 3: to protect their privates During baseball.
- 1:03Speaker 2: I have no idea, but that was my random thought.
- 1:06Speaker 1: The idea, the answer is nothing.
- 1:09Speaker 4: Yeah, maybe that's why they invented it.
- 1:10Speaker 1: Walk it off.
- 1:11Speaker 2: That's it. Walk it off, son.
- 1:13Speaker 5: Walk it off.
- 1:14Speaker 1: Exactly.
- 1:14Speaker 3: I started asking my kids and my family, like, what
- 1:17Speaker 3: are your random thoughts?
- 1:18Speaker 2: I'm just curious, like, what's your random thoughts? And, Terry,
- 1:22Speaker 2: you said what?
- 1:23Speaker 4: I said, like, where did knick-knack paddywhack come from? What
- 1:28Speaker 4: is that?
- 1:29Speaker 1: That's a great question.
- 1:32Speaker 5: My thoughts before 10.30 p.m. are very different from my
- 1:36Speaker 5: thoughts after 10.30 p.m.
- 1:38Speaker 4: But what I love is.
- 1:39Speaker 5: You can grab your phone now and you can chat
- 1:44Speaker 5: GPT or GROC and say, how did this occur?
- 1:48Speaker 4: When did this happen? Or why did people name it this?
- 1:50Speaker 5: Or whatever. And Kevin does that all the time. We'll
- 1:53Speaker 5: be talking and some phrase will come up and he goes,
- 1:56Speaker 5: I wonder where that phrase came from.
- 1:57Speaker 4: And he wants to know immediately.
- 2:00Speaker 1: Yeah. I'll do that on the etymology of words a lot.
- 2:03Speaker 1: I'll go through where that word come from and things
- 2:06Speaker 1: like that.
- 2:06Speaker 3: Yeah. Okay.
- 2:08Speaker 2: Okay.
- 2:09Speaker 1: So Google is your way to deal with these random thoughts.
- 2:13Speaker 2: Well, Terry was really bad.
- 2:14Speaker 3: I even had to tell her to pull back because
- 2:16Speaker 3: she also would Stevapedia, and she would ask you a
- 2:20Speaker 3: million questions.
- 2:21Speaker 2: If she has a thought, she'll just send it to you.
- 2:23Speaker 4: He's as good as Grok.
- 2:25Speaker 2: Why did you tell her to stop that? Because she
- 2:27Speaker 2: was doing it all the time.
- 2:28Speaker 1: I have no other purpose in life.
- 2:30Speaker 3: Thank you.
- 2:31Speaker 4: That's it. Thank you, Steven.
- 2:33Speaker 2: My word, if I don't have that, what do I have?
- 2:37Speaker 4: Yeah, she kind of started calling you Steve-opedia.
- 2:40Speaker 5: Yeah. Yeah, but it is, I love it personally. Here's another,
- 2:45Speaker 5: here's an example of how I used it recently. Okay,
- 2:48Speaker 5: I'm getting past the thoughts and onto the grok or
- 2:51Speaker 5: the chat GPT because a lot of people will use
- 2:54Speaker 5: that to figure out the answers to their questions. But
- 2:57Speaker 5: this is what I love about it. I have a
- 3:00Speaker 5: little fourth grade group that I do a Bible study
- 3:02Speaker 5: for twice a month. And so recently I was trying
- 3:05Speaker 5: to think of what kind of art activities you'll want
- 3:07Speaker 5: to do with the Fruit of the Spirit because I
- 3:08Speaker 5: want to talk to them about the Fruit of the Spirit. Right.
- 3:11Speaker 4: And I thought, God, you know, coming up with stuff.
- 3:13Speaker 4: And I thought, well, I'm just going to ask.
- 3:15Speaker 5: When I tell you the activities that it came up
- 3:18Speaker 5: with in a split second.
- 3:19Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 3:20Speaker 4: I got online. I ordered some of the stuff, the
- 3:22Speaker 4: supplies that I'll need.
- 3:23Speaker 5: It's going to be so much fun for these girls
- 3:25Speaker 5: to learn about the Fruit of the Spirit while they're
- 3:27Speaker 5: working on this fun art project that will make sense.
- 3:30Speaker 4: And I think, oh, my gosh.
- 3:31Speaker 2: It's made us smarter.
- 3:33Speaker 5: I don't know if it's made us smarter or dumber.
- 3:35Speaker 3: It has. It made us, even the most random ideas,
- 3:38Speaker 3: the random thoughts. You know, Shane told me that the
- 3:41Speaker 3: other day she thought, how does somebody walk without a
- 3:44Speaker 3: big toe? Yeah.
- 3:46Speaker 2: So she looks it up.
- 3:47Speaker 3: So now if that conversation ever happens, she's that much
- 3:50Speaker 3: smarter to know.
- 3:52Speaker 4: Tell them what stones are.
- 3:54Speaker 1: By the way, I know how you walk without a
- 3:56Speaker 1: big toe because when I hurt my toe.
- 3:59Speaker 4: You need that toe. You need that big toe for balance.
- 4:02Speaker 4: You hobble.
- 4:02Speaker 1: You hobble is what you do.
- 4:04Speaker 3: Well, you actually push off the big toe.
- 4:06Speaker 2: That's how important the big toe is.
- 4:08Speaker 3: You push off of the big toe.
- 4:10Speaker 4: I know.
- 4:10Speaker 3: And without it, you have a different gait and you
- 4:12Speaker 3: have to relearn how to walk.
- 4:14Speaker 4: You do. You know all of it now. I do.
- 4:16Speaker 3: I know.
- 4:17Speaker 2: I didn't need Grok to tell me that.
- 4:19Speaker 4: Well, we did.
- 4:20Speaker 1: I just had to break my code.
- 4:22Speaker 3: I asked Stone what are his random thoughts. He said, well,
- 4:25Speaker 3: you used to call them shower thoughts because that's when
- 4:28Speaker 3: you have random thoughts. But he said, I have 1,000
- 4:30Speaker 3: a day. And he said, the very last one I
- 4:32Speaker 3: did was today. And my question was, what was the
- 4:35Speaker 3: percentage of people that died during the bubonic plague?
- 4:41Speaker 2: And I was like, really?
- 4:42Speaker 3: And he goes, yeah, it was about 20%. He said
- 4:44Speaker 3: the population went from 500 million to 375 million.
- 4:48Speaker 4: I thought, I like going to that.
- 4:48Speaker 2: That's so interesting.
- 4:50Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 4:50Speaker 1: And it varied depending upon where it was. There were
- 4:52Speaker 1: some places that were hit by the bubonic plague more
- 4:54Speaker 1: than others. So the fatality rate was actually over 40%
- 4:56Speaker 1: in some locations.
- 4:57Speaker 3: Yes.
- 4:58Speaker 4: Do you see why I called him?
- 4:59Speaker 2: Yeah, I know.
- 5:00Speaker 4: Before I had Grok and ChatGPT.
- 5:02Speaker 1: And I don't know why I know that.
- 5:04Speaker 4: Because you can retain things.
- 5:06Speaker 5: Like, I remember going to the library at Rosa Scott
- 5:09Speaker 5: in Mississippi in junior high and having loads of encyclopedias
- 5:15Speaker 5: and books and I think she gave.
- 5:18Speaker 4: Me the subject matter Galileo. Yeah. And so I was looking. Now,
- 5:23Speaker 4: these kids, all they have to do is not even
- 5:25Speaker 4: leave their bedroom.
- 5:26Speaker 3: Right.
- 5:26Speaker 4: Ask, and it's all right there.
- 5:29Speaker 1: But do you retain it?
- 5:30Speaker 5: No.
- 5:30Speaker 2: Without the effort to.
- 5:31Speaker 4: Put it in. That's why I said, are we getting dumber?
- 5:34Speaker 3: I'll retain the big toe information. Yeah.
- 5:37Speaker 2: But I won't retain any history.
- 5:41Speaker 1: That seems fair. If you'd like to ask our American
