WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.080 --> 00:00:02.640 You're listening to the sound of my voice right now 2 00:00:02.680 --> 00:00:04.879 just to irritate other people in line. Are you guys 3 00:00:04.919 --> 00:00:07.719 really standing out in front of a Walmart or yeah, 4 00:00:08.000 --> 00:00:10.400 excuse me, a best Buy right now for a video 5 00:00:10.439 --> 00:00:14.839 game thing? I never, dude, I feel so lost in 6 00:00:14.919 --> 00:00:18.760 the uh, in the realm of this stuff, like it 7 00:00:19.039 --> 00:00:23.079 just used to be. I knew when a bunch of 8 00:00:23.120 --> 00:00:25.440 people were gonna go camp in a parking lot, maybe 9 00:00:25.440 --> 00:00:28.199 even beat each other up for something. You know, I 10 00:00:28.359 --> 00:00:31.480 like to do iPhone release or whatever. That used to 11 00:00:31.559 --> 00:00:36.119 be a zoo of course, you know, uh Black Friday deals, 12 00:00:36.880 --> 00:00:40.399 that's when you got the meles usually. I just I 13 00:00:40.479 --> 00:00:42.799 just don't I dared to have the Nintendo Switch on 14 00:00:42.880 --> 00:00:47.560 my radar. I know nothing. I shouldn't say I know 15 00:00:47.640 --> 00:00:50.719 nothing about it. I've seen some articles where people are 16 00:00:50.719 --> 00:00:54.039 evaluating because I guess this is the second one. Listen 17 00:00:54.079 --> 00:00:58.000 to me, that's all like, that's not like I get 18 00:00:58.000 --> 00:01:00.399 off your long, guy. I know this is a I've 19 00:01:00.439 --> 00:01:05.200 never touched a Nintendo switch, so I don't even know 20 00:01:05.760 --> 00:01:07.599 what it does. I mean, I know that if you 21 00:01:07.599 --> 00:01:10.239 play games on it, you can play it in handheld. 22 00:01:10.319 --> 00:01:12.200 I guess you can hook it up to your TV, right, 23 00:01:12.879 --> 00:01:14.680 so ross you have to help it. You can hook 24 00:01:14.719 --> 00:01:16.439 it up to a TV and then get like big. 25 00:01:16.239 --> 00:01:17.959 Screen, right, yeah, you put it in the dock. 26 00:01:18.319 --> 00:01:22.480 Okay, all right, but the graphics are it's not a 27 00:01:22.519 --> 00:01:27.879 graphics cell because it's a Nintendo product, right, so my opinion, Yeah, okay, 28 00:01:27.920 --> 00:01:30.480 so it's about the games. I did see an article 29 00:01:30.480 --> 00:01:32.879 where some people were doing side by side graphics and 30 00:01:32.920 --> 00:01:36.719 they didn't sound please, But it's about some exclusive games 31 00:01:36.879 --> 00:01:37.400 or something. 32 00:01:37.719 --> 00:01:40.760 It has a bigger screen. I think it has like 33 00:01:40.799 --> 00:01:43.079 more memory. There's other things that can attach to it. 34 00:01:43.159 --> 00:01:45.840 But you know my feelings and the Nintendo switch. 35 00:01:46.159 --> 00:01:48.120 Yeah, yeah, Well, I'm not saying that anyone has to 36 00:01:48.200 --> 00:01:49.799 like it. I'm just trying to understand. I'm trying to 37 00:01:49.879 --> 00:01:52.319 understand what is it And I guess it would have 38 00:01:52.400 --> 00:01:57.560 to be exclusive games and nostalgia, right, why why else 39 00:01:57.560 --> 00:01:59.519 would you stay? Well? I actually I shouldn't say that 40 00:01:59.680 --> 00:02:01.879 for people standing out, for some of them are probably 41 00:02:01.879 --> 00:02:03.760 just going to try to flip it a sap on 42 00:02:03.840 --> 00:02:06.280 the internet. I just want to know what the appeal 43 00:02:06.319 --> 00:02:11.360 of that particular game system is two people, even if 44 00:02:11.400 --> 00:02:14.199 it's not to you, it's the power Mario Man it's 45 00:02:14.240 --> 00:02:17.800 power Mario. Okay, maybe if you don't buy one, Nintenda 46 00:02:17.840 --> 00:02:19.639 will sue you. I know they like to sue people. 47 00:02:19.759 --> 00:02:22.319 I told Lincoln, I'm like, we're not getting one. I've 48 00:02:22.360 --> 00:02:23.680 looked at it, and I'm like, I don't. I think 49 00:02:23.719 --> 00:02:26.719 it's like a, I don't know the upgrade. Isn't that 50 00:02:26.759 --> 00:02:30.080 impressive you had you have the first one? Oh of course? 51 00:02:30.599 --> 00:02:35.479 Oh okay, I don't know these things. Maybe Stephen can't 52 00:02:35.479 --> 00:02:35.919 can help me. 53 00:02:36.039 --> 00:02:37.840 And I know I sort of feel like even Lincoln 54 00:02:37.879 --> 00:02:39.599 at this point is sort of aged out of the 55 00:02:39.639 --> 00:02:43.000 Switch and he's thirteen. 56 00:02:43.840 --> 00:02:46.000 I remember I told Ross because I have a Wii. 57 00:02:46.319 --> 00:02:49.000 I don't remember how I acquired the Wii at a 58 00:02:49.039 --> 00:02:52.840 Wii and he's in. Ross's response was like, oh that's 59 00:02:52.879 --> 00:02:57.599 adorable or something. It was very like, it was very. 60 00:02:57.479 --> 00:03:00.479 Uh, listen, if you enjoy it for you? 61 00:03:01.240 --> 00:03:04.759 Yeah, yeah, that's that's the vibe I got there. So 62 00:03:06.400 --> 00:03:10.000 but whatever, man, I've played a little swingy golf thing. 63 00:03:10.080 --> 00:03:13.120 But Lincoln's like, can I play Dark Souls three on it? 64 00:03:13.159 --> 00:03:15.479 And can I play Fallout four on it? And I'm like, 65 00:03:15.560 --> 00:03:17.759 I don't. I think maybe Fallout four is come into 66 00:03:17.759 --> 00:03:19.240 the switch. But I think that would be a leap. 67 00:03:19.240 --> 00:03:21.520 I don't know if that's even possible because it's bethesta 68 00:03:21.680 --> 00:03:23.479 so I don't have no idea, but if. 69 00:03:23.439 --> 00:03:26.319 You can't ever get one. You ever camped out for anything? 70 00:03:26.439 --> 00:03:28.520 But last time I camped out for anything video game 71 00:03:28.520 --> 00:03:30.719 related it was forever ago. I think it was. This 72 00:03:30.800 --> 00:03:33.000 is back when you would go to GameStop for the 73 00:03:33.759 --> 00:03:36.960 for the launches, like the midnight launch, and it was 74 00:03:37.000 --> 00:03:39.599 for Fallout New Vegas. So that was like over twenty 75 00:03:39.680 --> 00:03:40.960 years ago. Some im I that. 76 00:03:41.120 --> 00:03:43.919 Yeah, I realized I've never camped out for anything. 77 00:03:44.000 --> 00:03:45.879 And it wasn't even like a camp out because I 78 00:03:45.879 --> 00:03:48.240 would get off work at midnight, so I left a 79 00:03:48.240 --> 00:03:50.759 little early. I voicetracked and I left at like eleven 80 00:03:50.879 --> 00:03:53.080 fifty And the game stop is right down the street 81 00:03:53.080 --> 00:03:55.960 here from the radio station in Raleigh on Capitol, So 82 00:03:56.080 --> 00:03:56.360 I was. 83 00:03:56.400 --> 00:03:57.719 Oh, you camped at that one. 84 00:03:57.840 --> 00:03:59.759 I didn't even camp. I just left work. 85 00:04:00.080 --> 00:04:00.960 How are you alive? 86 00:04:01.360 --> 00:04:03.319 Yeah, it was a different time, dude, It was a 87 00:04:03.319 --> 00:04:03.879 different time. 88 00:04:04.000 --> 00:04:06.520 Yeah, there's no way I'm sitting in that parking lot 89 00:04:06.599 --> 00:04:07.560 at three in the morning. 90 00:04:07.840 --> 00:04:08.960 And I just got there and I was like, well, 91 00:04:09.000 --> 00:04:10.360 I guess I'm picking up the game now, so it 92 00:04:10.400 --> 00:04:13.000 was something to play when I get home. Okay, all right, 93 00:04:13.159 --> 00:04:16.240 it was I got into camp for days, you know. No, yeah, 94 00:04:16.240 --> 00:04:19.720 I'm talking. I'm talking to these you know, the brand 95 00:04:19.720 --> 00:04:21.000 new iPhone right. 96 00:04:20.879 --> 00:04:23.560 Back in the day. Never, right, that kind of that 97 00:04:23.680 --> 00:04:25.600 level of camping. Yeah, I just never. I mean I 98 00:04:25.879 --> 00:04:29.279 camped a lot, but not for products. So and and 99 00:04:29.319 --> 00:04:32.800 the Black Friday stuff was never going to happen. Ever, 100 00:04:33.000 --> 00:04:35.160 I don't I don't go into a store on Black 101 00:04:35.199 --> 00:04:37.920 Friday if it can be helped. I don't want to 102 00:04:37.920 --> 00:04:40.000 go near anything where anyone sells anything. 103 00:04:40.040 --> 00:04:41.639 Well, it's like we were talking the other day about 104 00:04:41.680 --> 00:04:43.920 those videos that come out around Christmas, and I've posted 105 00:04:44.000 --> 00:04:46.399 them before in the past and my social accounts where 106 00:04:46.439 --> 00:04:48.120 you know, it's the camp quarter that was set up 107 00:04:48.160 --> 00:04:52.319 in the mall and like thee yeah, and it's so 108 00:04:52.360 --> 00:04:53.639 cool and you're like, oh man, it was such a 109 00:04:53.639 --> 00:04:56.000 great time, and you see the decorations and the fashion 110 00:04:56.079 --> 00:04:58.759 and how people are behaving, and you're like, this is great. 111 00:04:59.000 --> 00:05:00.240 But then when you really think about it, you're like, 112 00:05:00.240 --> 00:05:01.439 I don't want to go to them all and shop 113 00:05:01.439 --> 00:05:02.160 in the horror. 114 00:05:02.160 --> 00:05:06.399 It's awesome people. Yeah, right, No, parking, and then if 115 00:05:06.399 --> 00:05:08.040 I do, probably get a fight over it in the 116 00:05:08.040 --> 00:05:11.360 parking that no, thank you. Don't want that, all right? 117 00:05:11.480 --> 00:05:14.720 So happy sitting at the best But I don't even 118 00:05:14.720 --> 00:05:17.240 know what time the best Buy opens. They open a 119 00:05:17.279 --> 00:05:21.000 little early this morning. I don't know what is this? 120 00:05:22.959 --> 00:05:27.839 Uh oh, Boston, Paul Lincoln is thirteen. Holy crap, where 121 00:05:27.879 --> 00:05:33.399 does time go? I know, Boston, Paul, do you have 122 00:05:33.439 --> 00:05:38.480 the Joe Biden. Oh? Oh, Boston Paul's got the Joe Biden. 123 00:05:39.279 --> 00:05:41.600 All right, we'll send you some flash cards over. They'll 124 00:05:41.639 --> 00:05:42.959 just say sit and drink. 125 00:05:43.240 --> 00:05:44.680 I've said this numerous times. 126 00:05:44.759 --> 00:05:45.279 Very easy. 127 00:05:45.360 --> 00:05:49.240 So scientists are so focused on, you know, fixing this 128 00:05:49.480 --> 00:05:52.160 or fixing that. I think what they should really focus on, 129 00:05:52.600 --> 00:05:55.639 if they were being if the scientists are serious people, 130 00:05:55.639 --> 00:05:58.319 which obviously they're not, is they need to focus on 131 00:05:58.319 --> 00:06:02.000 how to stop chronological time and progressing. That's what I mean. 132 00:06:02.759 --> 00:06:05.040 So you need that the like the remote that Adam 133 00:06:05.079 --> 00:06:05.759 Sandler had. 134 00:06:05.680 --> 00:06:07.240 In clar No, I know, I don't want it. I 135 00:06:07.279 --> 00:06:09.680 don't want time. Listen. I like the day and night cycle. 136 00:06:09.720 --> 00:06:11.439 I'm a fan of that, but I don't like getting older, 137 00:06:11.680 --> 00:06:14.040 and I don't like time progressing. So just stop it, 138 00:06:14.160 --> 00:06:19.920 just stop. Focus on the fountain of youth or adrenochrome, right, 139 00:06:20.120 --> 00:06:23.240 is that the I don't know, man, I've heard that's problematic. 140 00:06:23.839 --> 00:06:25.959 Oh is it? I don't know. What's the stuff where 141 00:06:26.000 --> 00:06:28.759 you just it deages you from like, uh, what was 142 00:06:28.800 --> 00:06:32.079 the what was the movie with the seventies show chick 143 00:06:32.199 --> 00:06:34.920 a Jupiter Ascending? Wasn't that kind of the thing there 144 00:06:35.319 --> 00:06:36.240 in that movie? Yeah? 145 00:06:36.279 --> 00:06:38.560 I never saw that they I. 146 00:06:38.519 --> 00:06:41.279 Think, but I think that basically they would harvest human 147 00:06:41.360 --> 00:06:43.879 life force and then I don't know, bathe in it 148 00:06:44.000 --> 00:06:47.959 or something. But yeah, so you want that, you realize 149 00:06:48.040 --> 00:06:53.800 to acquire that skill where one could essentially reverse chronologic 150 00:06:54.120 --> 00:06:57.480 like everything kept trucking along, but you just bathe in it, 151 00:06:57.519 --> 00:07:01.920 and then you'd get younger. They had to have planet 152 00:07:02.199 --> 00:07:05.920 gardens like Earth, and then they would harvest everybody and 153 00:07:06.079 --> 00:07:10.000 murder the entire planet like Oldron, and then you could 154 00:07:10.120 --> 00:07:14.000 use the life force of all the people you just harvested, 155 00:07:14.759 --> 00:07:16.480 and and then you would accomplish that. 156 00:07:16.560 --> 00:07:18.319 So I think you're thinking too much into this. What 157 00:07:18.439 --> 00:07:19.720 I'm saying is getting old sucks. 158 00:07:20.040 --> 00:07:22.600 No, I agree with you. I'm just I'm putting out 159 00:07:22.639 --> 00:07:25.360 what I understand to be the practical ways to combat it, 160 00:07:26.519 --> 00:07:28.639 and you got to murder a whole planet full of people. 161 00:07:28.920 --> 00:07:31.879 You got to go full of Vader Man. So you know, 162 00:07:32.040 --> 00:07:35.720 be careful what you wish for. So all right, let's 163 00:07:35.720 --> 00:07:45.079 see here. What is the perfect age then, right, because 164 00:07:45.079 --> 00:07:48.079 it's some you know you want to age. You don't 165 00:07:48.079 --> 00:07:50.160 want to be like the twelve year old vampire that 166 00:07:50.160 --> 00:07:52.199 are in some of the vampire movies. You're like, ah, 167 00:07:52.279 --> 00:07:56.079 that sucks. I wish like Casper the Friendly Ghost. Yeah right, 168 00:07:56.199 --> 00:07:58.160 so like you got I would say, right now, And 169 00:07:58.160 --> 00:07:59.759 it's so weird, Like I've said this for the past 170 00:07:59.839 --> 00:08:01.360 like five years, I feel like I'm at like the 171 00:08:01.360 --> 00:08:04.319 perfect age. Like I like where my family's at, I 172 00:08:04.399 --> 00:08:07.560 like where the finances are at. I'm enjoying my my job, 173 00:08:08.120 --> 00:08:10.120 my kid is great. We have another one on the way. 174 00:08:10.160 --> 00:08:12.360 I think it's fantastic, and it you know, you sit 175 00:08:12.439 --> 00:08:13.920 back and you sometimes you just got to take it 176 00:08:13.959 --> 00:08:16.040 in be like this is really good right now. Like 177 00:08:16.079 --> 00:08:18.439 I've got no complaints. I could have complaints, but I 178 00:08:18.519 --> 00:08:19.040 choose not to. 179 00:08:19.240 --> 00:08:21.240 Like, yeah, now, you could be those people that are 180 00:08:21.279 --> 00:08:22.720 always complaining, or you could. 181 00:08:22.639 --> 00:08:24.920 Yeah, yeah, life is pretty good right now. So but 182 00:08:25.000 --> 00:08:27.040 I'm waiting for that. Every time I like sit back 183 00:08:27.079 --> 00:08:29.800 and reflect upon that. I'm waiting for like the Karmik 184 00:08:29.879 --> 00:08:32.440 Mac truck to fly through my house, you know, just 185 00:08:32.440 --> 00:08:36.639 like throw everything into shambles and it's full of bees 186 00:08:36.679 --> 00:08:38.600 probably too, oh yeah, like forty million bees. 187 00:08:38.720 --> 00:08:42.240 Oh jeez, Yeah, that Karma truck just be central all right. 188 00:08:42.279 --> 00:08:45.080 Six fifteen coming up. We got a hug Boat update, 189 00:08:45.159 --> 00:08:50.240 because that's that's our new fascination around here. Also, I 190 00:08:50.240 --> 00:08:53.200 don't know, man, some of these activists sound super racist. 191 00:08:53.200 --> 00:08:57.080 And Donald Trump did the country pause thing again, which 192 00:08:57.120 --> 00:09:01.240 was kind of a first presidency or first turn thing 193 00:09:01.360 --> 00:09:05.559 that really made everyone start screaming, except he like doubled down, 194 00:09:07.080 --> 00:09:10.159 So we will explore what's up with that. Six sixteen 195 00:09:10.279 --> 00:09:12.679 hang on all right. One of our listeners he works 196 00:09:12.679 --> 00:09:16.720 for one of the one of the big box retailers there, 197 00:09:17.720 --> 00:09:20.320 but I'm like logistics, and he said, yeah, we've been 198 00:09:20.320 --> 00:09:22.919 planning for the switch release for months. Again, I just 199 00:09:22.960 --> 00:09:26.679 the thing wasn't on my radar because I just I'm 200 00:09:26.679 --> 00:09:29.360 not really gamer dude. But then he said, do you 201 00:09:29.440 --> 00:09:31.399 know what else is a really hot toy right now? 202 00:09:31.559 --> 00:09:34.200 Venomized iron Man. I don't even I didn't even know 203 00:09:34.240 --> 00:09:37.559 that existed. What is is that f from? Is that 204 00:09:37.600 --> 00:09:40.799 f from the upcoming movie? 205 00:09:40.840 --> 00:09:42.480 I don't know if it's from a movie. Sometimes they 206 00:09:42.480 --> 00:09:44.799 come out with these, like you know, like cross sort 207 00:09:44.840 --> 00:09:47.279 of characters that you can collect. 208 00:09:47.720 --> 00:09:50.000 Would you want to would you want an Iron Man? 209 00:09:50.200 --> 00:09:54.559 But Venom up in there? Personally, No, that sounds that 210 00:09:54.639 --> 00:09:57.080 sounds like not a good idea. But I know when 211 00:09:57.120 --> 00:10:00.360 it comes to the switch, like Nintendo has been pairing 212 00:10:00.399 --> 00:10:02.080 for this forever, like it was obviously it was gonna 213 00:10:02.080 --> 00:10:04.559 be sold out like weeks ago. I guess they said, 214 00:10:04.600 --> 00:10:07.759 I think it was like a Walmart. Yeah, I was 215 00:10:07.799 --> 00:10:09.799 reading that people were concerned about that, like. 216 00:10:09.799 --> 00:10:12.320 The placards, like the cardboard stand ups or whatever that 217 00:10:12.360 --> 00:10:14.120 you put in the in the window. Whatever, this is 218 00:10:14.240 --> 00:10:16.600 sold out they sold. They sent those to Walmart like 219 00:10:16.600 --> 00:10:19.080 two weeks ago or like a week ago, like they 220 00:10:19.159 --> 00:10:22.519 knew it was going to be sold out. So I'm 221 00:10:22.559 --> 00:10:25.320 not surprised by it. I just I'm more surprised that, 222 00:10:25.480 --> 00:10:30.279 like I paid no attention. I just I think it's 223 00:10:30.279 --> 00:10:33.840 our generation because we had growing up the Nintendo and 224 00:10:33.960 --> 00:10:35.840 when you had a Super Nintendo, it was a big 225 00:10:35.840 --> 00:10:41.039 difference in the graphics. Like it was very Genesis Kids. Yeah, right, Genesis, 226 00:10:41.039 --> 00:10:44.279 and then you went to what Nintendo sixty four and 227 00:10:44.320 --> 00:10:47.159 then you went to the But my point is every 228 00:10:47.159 --> 00:10:49.879 time you'd get a new console, the graphics would be 229 00:10:50.320 --> 00:10:53.679 noticeably different, so you felt like something and the memory 230 00:10:53.720 --> 00:10:55.279 and the size of the games would be different. And 231 00:10:55.320 --> 00:10:57.960 now it's happened with consoles is the same thing that's 232 00:10:58.000 --> 00:11:00.480 happened with phones where they come out and it's like 233 00:11:00.559 --> 00:11:03.200 there's not much difference, but it's kind of different, and 234 00:11:03.240 --> 00:11:05.879 there's not these giant leaps that we used to have. 235 00:11:06.360 --> 00:11:08.399 So you have like the Xbox One and then the 236 00:11:08.519 --> 00:11:11.320 Xbox XS and they're the same similar thing on the 237 00:11:11.320 --> 00:11:13.279 PlayStation and it's dumb. 238 00:11:13.759 --> 00:11:16.600 It's yeah, I got a I got a text message 239 00:11:16.679 --> 00:11:21.720 yesterday before the like literally right before the show from 240 00:11:21.919 --> 00:11:26.559 AT and T Who is my cell phone provider? And 241 00:11:26.840 --> 00:11:34.039 hang out? This is a second? Um, Hey here it is. 242 00:11:34.240 --> 00:11:35.200 Hey, it's I. 243 00:11:35.720 --> 00:11:38.240 Hi, it's AT and T Our Record Show. You paid 244 00:11:38.279 --> 00:11:42.320 off your iPhone, hooray, thanks for being a loyal customer. Hey, 245 00:11:42.360 --> 00:11:46.039 if you're interested, we get you a new iPhone Promac sixteen. 246 00:11:46.320 --> 00:11:50.399 Just press yes, no, no, yeah, I started getting those 247 00:11:50.399 --> 00:11:54.840 two no no. The only reason that I have this 248 00:11:55.000 --> 00:11:57.639 phone that it was even in that situation, is my 249 00:11:57.759 --> 00:12:01.559 other phone got stolen, right, or I'd still have I 250 00:12:01.559 --> 00:12:03.720 don't remember what I think that was an eleven that 251 00:12:03.799 --> 00:12:06.200 got stolen. The only reason that I have this is 252 00:12:06.240 --> 00:12:09.639 a thirteen. I think it's a thirteen. Unless this thing 253 00:12:09.720 --> 00:12:13.360 gets stolen or I drop it in a wood chipper, 254 00:12:14.080 --> 00:12:14.559 I don't. 255 00:12:15.000 --> 00:12:15.879 No, it's fine. 256 00:12:16.360 --> 00:12:20.000 Now, if you put out a phone that I don't know, 257 00:12:21.320 --> 00:12:24.960 floats alongside me and handles all my stuff for me, 258 00:12:26.159 --> 00:12:28.279 then maybe I'll maybe we can upgrade, do you know 259 00:12:28.360 --> 00:12:33.000 what I'm saying? But like, this is remarkably different. If 260 00:12:33.120 --> 00:12:35.240 this thirteen than a sixteen, You're. 261 00:12:35.120 --> 00:12:37.200 Like, ah, the new phone is translucent, and if you're 262 00:12:37.440 --> 00:12:39.360 stuck in a jungle, you can eat it for food, 263 00:12:39.480 --> 00:12:39.679 you know. 264 00:12:39.759 --> 00:12:43.480 Okay, sign me up. I'm there. I'm there for it. 265 00:12:43.600 --> 00:12:46.279 So and I know that there, you know there there 266 00:12:46.360 --> 00:12:49.039 is some quote unquote AI stuff that's gonna get worked 267 00:12:49.039 --> 00:12:52.840 in there. But I am so convinced of my theory 268 00:12:52.960 --> 00:12:58.919 that that AT and T or not AT and t 269 00:12:59.440 --> 00:13:07.639 Apple and others have intentionally neutered the voice all the 270 00:13:07.720 --> 00:13:10.600 voice command stuff, right, And I read it. I read 271 00:13:10.639 --> 00:13:13.000 an interesting theory on this, rousselet and run it by you. 272 00:13:13.480 --> 00:13:16.799 Don't you think that voice to text used to work better? 273 00:13:17.879 --> 00:13:20.600 You know, I've never used it, Okay, all right, so 274 00:13:20.600 --> 00:13:22.879 if you're not a user of it, it used to 275 00:13:22.960 --> 00:13:26.120 work better. So if I wanted to dictate a quick message, 276 00:13:26.720 --> 00:13:28.639 or if I wanted to dictate the tweet that I'm 277 00:13:28.639 --> 00:13:31.519 going to send out, I would do that. And it 278 00:13:31.679 --> 00:13:35.639 worked really well for me because I speak for a living, 279 00:13:36.679 --> 00:13:41.360 so I and so I can dictate in pretty clear English. 280 00:13:41.440 --> 00:13:45.720 And I swear it's getting worse every time. And there's 281 00:13:45.759 --> 00:13:49.440 words in it. There's no there's no Ockham's razor on 282 00:13:49.519 --> 00:13:53.519 this thing. Right, I'd be writing and it's very clear 283 00:13:53.639 --> 00:13:55.960 what the next few words should be, and then it'll 284 00:13:56.000 --> 00:13:59.360 just have a word like yeah, I'll be like anyone, 285 00:13:59.519 --> 00:14:02.200 and then it'll it'll say ambrosia. And it's like nobody, right, 286 00:14:02.279 --> 00:14:03.840 nobody uses ambrosia. 287 00:14:03.919 --> 00:14:04.799 Shut up. 288 00:14:05.360 --> 00:14:08.039 And I think it's getting worse because and this is 289 00:14:08.080 --> 00:14:13.600 the theory people who are non native English speakers, it 290 00:14:13.720 --> 00:14:18.320 wasn't getting better for them, right, So, meaning if you 291 00:14:18.440 --> 00:14:21.240 have an accent, if you have a heavy accent, it's why. 292 00:14:21.720 --> 00:14:25.279 It's why even though I you know. My goal was 293 00:14:25.360 --> 00:14:28.320 to learn Spanish to become fluent. I'm not fluent in it, 294 00:14:28.879 --> 00:14:34.039 but I can. I can slowly cobble together sentences in Spanish, 295 00:14:34.360 --> 00:14:39.799 but I can't dictate Spanish to text. Okay, right, I've 296 00:14:39.879 --> 00:14:43.440 tried it. I can't do it, and it's because my 297 00:14:43.559 --> 00:14:50.440 pronunciation is just not there. So like I can just 298 00:14:50.519 --> 00:14:54.600 see some DEI groups sitting around going, no, how do 299 00:14:54.639 --> 00:14:57.879 we it's our voice to text works well for native 300 00:14:57.919 --> 00:15:01.600 English speakers, but people with accents it's not working. Oh well, 301 00:15:01.639 --> 00:15:04.360 why don't you go ahead and newterter what we have 302 00:15:04.519 --> 00:15:08.559 out there? I don't know how to analyze this. Have 303 00:15:08.639 --> 00:15:10.759 you ever had to have a meeting at the school 304 00:15:10.879 --> 00:15:15.679 with Lincoln's teacher and maybe the principal or something good 305 00:15:15.799 --> 00:15:18.879 or bad? You ever ever had to sit down with 306 00:15:18.919 --> 00:15:20.480 the people at the school? 307 00:15:20.799 --> 00:15:22.759 You had tons of them. We have IP meetings and 308 00:15:22.799 --> 00:15:26.120 also behavioral meetings because Lincoln this past year. I've never 309 00:15:26.159 --> 00:15:28.039 mentioned this before in the air, but he started doing 310 00:15:28.039 --> 00:15:31.519 the autistic thing where it's like they start to run away, 311 00:15:32.000 --> 00:15:34.200 and it's been super stressful, Like we had to put 312 00:15:34.240 --> 00:15:37.639 like extra locks in the door and sensors on the windows. 313 00:15:37.639 --> 00:15:39.720 So what he started doing at school is he'd be 314 00:15:39.759 --> 00:15:43.279 in the classroom and he would just bolt and he 315 00:15:43.279 --> 00:15:45.639 would run out of the school and he would run 316 00:15:45.679 --> 00:15:48.879 across Rogers Road through traffic to try to get to 317 00:15:48.960 --> 00:15:51.360 like the Chick fil A or to come home, and 318 00:15:51.399 --> 00:15:53.679 in his head he was playing a game or like 319 00:15:53.720 --> 00:15:56.000 reading a book or going through a movie. So there's 320 00:15:56.039 --> 00:15:59.559 been several times where we have had to go in 321 00:15:59.559 --> 00:16:02.240 the middle of the day and it's terrifying. It's absolutely 322 00:16:02.360 --> 00:16:04.480 terrifying because you drop your kid off and it's nothing 323 00:16:04.480 --> 00:16:06.000 against them at the school. They've done a great job. 324 00:16:06.039 --> 00:16:09.039 They're fantastic. His teachers are great. The administration has been 325 00:16:09.360 --> 00:16:12.080 amazingly supportive. They're great, nothing bad to say about it. 326 00:16:12.200 --> 00:16:14.200 But it's terrifying to think that maybe your kid might 327 00:16:14.279 --> 00:16:16.759 run out of the school and be hit by a 328 00:16:16.799 --> 00:16:20.200 car and die, because this is the thing that parents 329 00:16:20.200 --> 00:16:22.240 have autistic children have to go through, and it's a real, 330 00:16:22.320 --> 00:16:25.639 real fear. It sucks. So there's been times before where 331 00:16:25.679 --> 00:16:27.200 I've been at the gym or whatever and you get 332 00:16:27.200 --> 00:16:29.919 a call from the school and you drive there and 333 00:16:30.279 --> 00:16:32.080 not only is Lincoln out of the school, but he's 334 00:16:32.120 --> 00:16:36.039 surrounded by like police cars and cop cars, and there's 335 00:16:36.080 --> 00:16:38.840 a cop holding him on the ground, and there's you know, 336 00:16:39.159 --> 00:16:40.759 the teachers are there and we have to go back. 337 00:16:40.799 --> 00:16:43.720 So we have had tons of meetings involving this sort 338 00:16:43.759 --> 00:16:47.559 of thing and it's really scary. So to answer your question. 339 00:16:47.360 --> 00:16:52.519 Yes, no, I can't make the transition I was gonna make. 340 00:16:53.759 --> 00:16:55.320 I was gonna ask when you go to the meetings, 341 00:16:55.360 --> 00:16:57.159 if you beat up the principal. 342 00:16:56.679 --> 00:16:58.679 And the TI, I do not know where, like, thank god, 343 00:16:58.679 --> 00:17:03.559 our kid is alive. And unfortunately, I think that autistic. 344 00:17:03.440 --> 00:17:06.920 I should have previewed this question with yes, yeah, because 345 00:17:06.960 --> 00:17:08.960 this is something I wasn't trying to get you to 346 00:17:08.960 --> 00:17:10.799 talk about. That really wasn't man. 347 00:17:10.839 --> 00:17:12.400 No, but it's something that I've been wanting to talk 348 00:17:12.400 --> 00:17:14.799 about for a while because it's it's something that autistic 349 00:17:14.839 --> 00:17:17.640 powers special needs parents can sort of relate to. This 350 00:17:17.640 --> 00:17:19.440 this fear of your kid running away, where we've had 351 00:17:19.440 --> 00:17:21.319 to get like these tags and put him in his 352 00:17:21.359 --> 00:17:23.839 shoes because we're so fearful he's gonna run away. You know, 353 00:17:24.079 --> 00:17:24.839 it's terrifying. 354 00:17:29.680 --> 00:17:33.880 Principal Jennifer Schroeder at Randolph Middle School you're in North Carolina, 355 00:17:34.559 --> 00:17:44.799 called Maria Hector to discuss her daughter who had been fighting. So, uh, 356 00:17:45.039 --> 00:17:49.039 mom shows up to the school and uh, there is uh, 357 00:17:49.160 --> 00:17:54.559 let's see, there's the assistant superintendent and uh and the 358 00:17:54.599 --> 00:17:58.759 principal there, and so she goes in and uh. According 359 00:17:58.839 --> 00:18:04.799 to police reports, when confronted with her daughter's behavior, they 360 00:18:04.960 --> 00:18:08.960 suddenly figured out if it was nature versus nurture, and spoiler, 361 00:18:08.960 --> 00:18:10.039 it looks like it was nurture. 362 00:18:10.240 --> 00:18:12.240 So the kid is beating us. Somebody that calling the parent, 363 00:18:12.279 --> 00:18:16.519 and the parent beats up the administration correct, yes, yes. 364 00:18:17.200 --> 00:18:21.279 When mom showed up, the discussion got heated, and then 365 00:18:21.359 --> 00:18:25.839 she allegedly threw the principle against a wall and then 366 00:18:25.960 --> 00:18:29.519 leaped onto the assistant superintendent, who was also a woman, 367 00:18:30.279 --> 00:18:34.880 so three women and started choking the life out of her. 368 00:18:34.920 --> 00:18:36.240 That's how it's described here. 369 00:18:39.160 --> 00:18:41.880 So see our experience and we go is we always 370 00:18:41.920 --> 00:18:44.880 feel horrible because we're like, you know, we were such 371 00:18:44.920 --> 00:18:47.400 good kids in school, and we've had these conversations with Lincoln. 372 00:18:47.440 --> 00:18:49.079 He's like, how many times did mommy and daddy run 373 00:18:49.079 --> 00:18:51.400 away from school? And we're like, we didn't. That wasn't 374 00:18:51.400 --> 00:18:53.240 a thing. And we go and we when we go 375 00:18:53.359 --> 00:18:57.920 in front of the teachers in the administration, we're incredibly apologetic, like, right, 376 00:18:57.960 --> 00:18:59.920 you know, we're sorry y'all to go through this. Thank god, 377 00:19:00.079 --> 00:19:02.400 he's okay. You guys did a great job. So for 378 00:19:02.400 --> 00:19:04.640 for us, it's a little different. We know, show up 379 00:19:04.640 --> 00:19:06.240 and we're like, hey, I'm gonna punch you in the face. 380 00:19:06.960 --> 00:19:10.079 Uh well uh. It was a combination of punching and 381 00:19:10.519 --> 00:19:16.400 strangling strangulation as the superintendent lost consciousness. So do you 382 00:19:16.519 --> 00:19:19.079 do you now expel the student and like ban the 383 00:19:19.160 --> 00:19:22.799 parents from the premises, Like what do you do? I mean, 384 00:19:23.599 --> 00:19:26.519 I mean, clearly mom can't Mom. There's no way you're 385 00:19:26.519 --> 00:19:28.240 gonna let mom back in the school. She tried to 386 00:19:28.359 --> 00:19:35.759 murder the superintendent, our assistant superintendent, excuse me, allegedly the 387 00:19:35.920 --> 00:19:40.000 kid is doomed, right, that's it, that's your right. So 388 00:19:40.359 --> 00:19:41.920 where where I got it? 389 00:19:41.960 --> 00:19:42.119 From? 390 00:19:42.160 --> 00:19:44.440 Watching you? Dad? This is literally the commercial. 391 00:19:44.640 --> 00:19:46.359 Yeah, I know. The thing that really stopped Lincoln from 392 00:19:46.400 --> 00:19:48.440 running because he hasn't tried to run away from school 393 00:19:48.440 --> 00:19:52.480 for for his fingers crossed knock on wood is we 394 00:19:52.559 --> 00:19:55.039 had this big conversations with him, like we took it obviously, 395 00:19:55.079 --> 00:19:58.759 it's very serious. Oh yeah, for Lincoln, we're trying to 396 00:19:58.759 --> 00:20:00.759 figure out like ways to get him to stop doing this. 397 00:20:00.839 --> 00:20:03.440 But it's like a flight or fight response when it 398 00:20:03.480 --> 00:20:06.960 comes to being overwhelmed with stimulation with autistic children, like 399 00:20:07.200 --> 00:20:10.119 sometimes they'll have a meltdown, but sometimes they'll just run. 400 00:20:10.200 --> 00:20:11.920 It's a thing they'll do. They'll take off. But we've 401 00:20:11.920 --> 00:20:15.240
