WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.480 --> 00:00:06.559 So I did a thing over the weekendnial I don't. 2 00:00:07.000 --> 00:00:08.960 I left here on Friday, and on the show on 3 00:00:08.960 --> 00:00:10.800 Friday about nine o'clock, I said, I'm either going to 4 00:00:10.839 --> 00:00:13.720 get a dog or an electric bike this weekend. The 5 00:00:13.800 --> 00:00:16.879 reason I even got interested in an electric bike is 6 00:00:16.879 --> 00:00:18.960 my friend Brenda, who used to work at the station 7 00:00:19.079 --> 00:00:21.679 years ago. She has an electric bike. And I said, 8 00:00:21.719 --> 00:00:24.440 you're so fit. She's my age and she's got like 9 00:00:24.559 --> 00:00:27.480 the body of a twenty five year old. She's amazing 10 00:00:27.559 --> 00:00:31.320 and she's fit and she you know whatever. And I said, 11 00:00:31.359 --> 00:00:33.719 you're so fit, why do you have an electric bike? 12 00:00:34.039 --> 00:00:36.039 And she said, well, you still get exercise. But instead 13 00:00:36.039 --> 00:00:37.719 of being able to go twenty five miles, I can 14 00:00:37.759 --> 00:00:38.560 go fifty miles. 15 00:00:38.640 --> 00:00:38.960 Yeah. 16 00:00:39.039 --> 00:00:41.159 That means she can ride from here to like Saint 17 00:00:41.200 --> 00:00:42.520 Paul and back. 18 00:00:42.679 --> 00:00:43.159 Yeah. 19 00:00:43.200 --> 00:00:45.640 And there's so many trails and paths. And so we 20 00:00:45.719 --> 00:00:48.000 got on the air and we were talking about this, 21 00:00:48.039 --> 00:00:51.679 and then Eric from Eric's Bike Shop called in, and 22 00:00:51.719 --> 00:00:54.280 it was so cool because Eric is the fucking man 23 00:00:54.399 --> 00:00:57.640 when it comes to bikes and so and I recognized 24 00:00:57.679 --> 00:00:59.119 his voice right away because he used to do his 25 00:00:59.119 --> 00:01:02.240 own commercials and he's just kind of a soft spoken 26 00:01:02.359 --> 00:01:06.159 Norwegian Scanndalhoovian kind of a game. His last name is 27 00:01:06.200 --> 00:01:08.280 like scars Guard or something like that, you know what 28 00:01:08.319 --> 00:01:09.959 I mean. It's like such as Scanned a Hoovie and 29 00:01:10.040 --> 00:01:12.760 sort of a name. So he's on the phone and 30 00:01:12.760 --> 00:01:15.760 we're talking about these bikes and whether they're legal on trails, 31 00:01:16.079 --> 00:01:18.480 because you go on a trail a lot of the 32 00:01:18.480 --> 00:01:21.519 time it says no motorized vehicles allowed, right, yeah, yeah, 33 00:01:21.599 --> 00:01:24.719 And so it turned out that somebody sent us they 34 00:01:24.719 --> 00:01:29.640 are legal as long as they are not solely self 35 00:01:29.640 --> 00:01:33.799 propelled propelled. Okay, So if they're solely self propelled, then 36 00:01:33.840 --> 00:01:36.719 that is a motorized vehicle. You can't take it. But 37 00:01:36.799 --> 00:01:40.560 if it's partially self propelled. They've changed the laws in 38 00:01:40.599 --> 00:01:43.400 statuets because they want people to be able to use 39 00:01:43.439 --> 00:01:45.480 the trails, and people want to use the trails and 40 00:01:45.519 --> 00:01:49.959 an electric bike anyway, So I went to Eric's bike 41 00:01:50.000 --> 00:01:58.200 shop over the weekend and we got electric bikes. Yes, no, 42 00:01:58.239 --> 00:02:01.040 we don't have them yet, but we took a test drive. 43 00:02:01.400 --> 00:02:04.760 And I will tell you and by the way, I 44 00:02:04.760 --> 00:02:06.719 did not get a discount. I'm not getting paid by 45 00:02:06.799 --> 00:02:10.759 ericson any way whatsoever. They nothing about that at all, 46 00:02:10.800 --> 00:02:13.800 this is not an advertisement. You get on the bike 47 00:02:13.840 --> 00:02:15.960 and you start to pedal and you can feel the 48 00:02:16.000 --> 00:02:20.599 assist and it's like, oh, it's helping you along. It's 49 00:02:20.840 --> 00:02:26.240 really cool. And if you want, you can stop pedaling 50 00:02:26.280 --> 00:02:29.039 and pull the throttle just a little thing with your 51 00:02:29.039 --> 00:02:32.759 index finger and it'll propel you along. Now, the top 52 00:02:32.759 --> 00:02:35.879 speed is twenty miles an hour, so you're not blazing, 53 00:02:36.000 --> 00:02:39.159 but that's faster than most people pedal. I would say, yeah, 54 00:02:40.800 --> 00:02:42.560 you know, you see kids in the neighborhood and they 55 00:02:42.560 --> 00:02:45.439 are on ones that are more like an electric motorcycle. 56 00:02:45.840 --> 00:02:48.159 You see the kids in the neighborhood. They're just zipping 57 00:02:48.199 --> 00:02:52.080 around like little like little race car drivers. Yes, and 58 00:02:52.159 --> 00:02:54.360 they don't care and they don't look, and they'll pull 59 00:02:54.360 --> 00:02:57.240 out in front. So those are not allowed on paths, 60 00:02:58.000 --> 00:02:59.800 but you'll see them on paths anyway. 61 00:03:00.159 --> 00:03:01.560 Because those kids are little issues. 62 00:03:01.639 --> 00:03:06.319 Those youth both dark youths. So we ordered them. We 63 00:03:06.319 --> 00:03:08.840 don't get them for a couple of days and I'll 64 00:03:08.840 --> 00:03:10.639 be in Colorado when they come, so I won't get 65 00:03:10.639 --> 00:03:12.680 to write it for another week or so. But very 66 00:03:12.680 --> 00:03:13.400 excited about it. 67 00:03:13.520 --> 00:03:15.000 Yay, I'm excited for you. 68 00:03:15.159 --> 00:03:20.879 Yay, yay, And no dog yet, No, no, somebody has. 69 00:03:21.199 --> 00:03:25.000 I'm still getting you know, offers of dogs. And there 70 00:03:25.080 --> 00:03:27.400 was one that that did like a little like beagle 71 00:03:27.479 --> 00:03:30.599 Chihuahua kind of a mix. It was very cute. I said, well, 72 00:03:30.639 --> 00:03:32.960 do they bark a lot? And they said, yeah, she's 73 00:03:33.000 --> 00:03:34.639 kind of a barker. And I said, okay, well that's 74 00:03:34.680 --> 00:03:36.759 got the deal. That's a deal breaker. So I want 75 00:03:36.759 --> 00:03:38.800 to get a senior dog. I want to get like 76 00:03:38.840 --> 00:03:41.159 an eight year old, ten year old dog. I mean, 77 00:03:41.319 --> 00:03:43.240 did somebody's kind of abandoned or doesn't want anything. 78 00:03:43.319 --> 00:03:43.560 Yeah. 79 00:03:43.599 --> 00:03:46.280 My mom used to really like doing that, and we 80 00:03:46.319 --> 00:03:49.319 would get dogs that were not like super senior, but 81 00:03:49.360 --> 00:03:51.800 they would be older dogs because she wanted to give 82 00:03:51.879 --> 00:03:53.879 these older dogs a good life in the end of 83 00:03:53.919 --> 00:03:54.360 their life. 84 00:03:54.400 --> 00:03:56.759 Yeah, rather than you know, being at the shelter. 85 00:03:57.479 --> 00:04:00.439 Really harder though then, because like you're only going to 86 00:04:00.479 --> 00:04:02.199 get so many years with them. 87 00:04:02.479 --> 00:04:05.360 True, yes, it's true, but I think you're giving this 88 00:04:05.400 --> 00:04:08.199 little creature, you know, a bed and some treats and 89 00:04:08.280 --> 00:04:12.120 scratches in a warm place by the fires that they 90 00:04:12.280 --> 00:04:15.080 just want and they need. And so we might get 91 00:04:15.080 --> 00:04:18.040 a senior dog. Plus they're usually housebroken by then, right 92 00:04:18.759 --> 00:04:22.120 until they start pean pooping on the floor. Josie, I'm 93 00:04:22.120 --> 00:04:25.519 looking at you, Josie. We adopted Rex when he was 94 00:04:25.560 --> 00:04:28.800 probably eight and Gracie when she was probably five, and 95 00:04:28.839 --> 00:04:31.800 they both lived about another five years or so. Okay, yeah, 96 00:04:31.839 --> 00:04:35.680 so yeah, all right on with the emails on the 97 00:04:35.680 --> 00:04:39.480 Minnesota Goodbye. Let's start off with this one, Dave Jenny Bailey. 98 00:04:40.560 --> 00:04:42.879 This is from Georgia, which I bring up her name 99 00:04:42.920 --> 00:04:45.519 because she what a beautiful name. I love that name, Georgia. 100 00:04:45.800 --> 00:04:48.079 I recently took an international trip with my parents in 101 00:04:48.160 --> 00:04:50.319 their early sixties. I'm twenty six, and let me tell you, 102 00:04:50.839 --> 00:04:54.600 somewhere between TSA and takeoff, the roles reversed. Suddenly I 103 00:04:54.839 --> 00:04:57.560 was the responsible adult and they were the ones that 104 00:04:57.680 --> 00:05:02.120 needed supervision, snacks, and possibly a. I went in expecting 105 00:05:02.120 --> 00:05:04.480 a relaxing family vacation, came out of it feeling like 106 00:05:04.519 --> 00:05:07.920 I just escorted two well meaning but wildly unpredictable exchange 107 00:05:07.920 --> 00:05:11.240 students across the globe. We land at our destination, we're 108 00:05:11.240 --> 00:05:13.680 waiting for the bags. My mom's suitcase gets rolled out 109 00:05:13.720 --> 00:05:17.399 of the plane and into the terminal, visibly vibrating, like 110 00:05:17.439 --> 00:05:21.600 aggressively vibrating. Everybody is staring. She doesn't hear it because 111 00:05:21.639 --> 00:05:24.120 she wears hearing aids, but my dad notices and says, 112 00:05:24.160 --> 00:05:27.079 your bag is shaken. She opens it up and right 113 00:05:27.120 --> 00:05:28.920 there casually, what do you think it is? 114 00:05:29.560 --> 00:05:31.120 I mean, I would say vibrator. 115 00:05:31.920 --> 00:05:34.240 No, it's a razor. Oh it's a razor. Yeah, okay, 116 00:05:34.360 --> 00:05:36.040 And I was thinking of the same thing as like, Okay, 117 00:05:36.160 --> 00:05:39.600 mom's a freak. She got a vibrator. Oh, my raizor, 118 00:05:39.959 --> 00:05:41.959 then proceeds to dig around in a suitcase for a 119 00:05:41.959 --> 00:05:44.079 while while it's still buzzing, like it's trying to escape 120 00:05:44.120 --> 00:05:47.399 airport security. I would have sprinted into the baggage carousel 121 00:05:47.439 --> 00:05:50.360 if it meant escaping the moment. But wait, on the 122 00:05:50.399 --> 00:05:52.600 way back, it gets better. We had a rough landing 123 00:05:52.600 --> 00:05:55.199 and all of a sudden, a loud sigh figh alarm 124 00:05:55.319 --> 00:05:58.000 sound starts going off from somebody's bag. People are looking 125 00:05:58.000 --> 00:06:00.839 around the flight attendants or craning their necks. I just 126 00:06:00.959 --> 00:06:04.040 know it's gotta be us. My dad had packed a 127 00:06:04.120 --> 00:06:08.120 portable radio why who knows, and apparently it thought we 128 00:06:08.199 --> 00:06:11.720 crash landed. It starts blaring this sci fi panic sound, 129 00:06:11.759 --> 00:06:14.199 and he's just sitting there laughing tells us that's my radio. 130 00:06:14.959 --> 00:06:17.879 He couldn't shut it off because we're taxing, So we 131 00:06:17.920 --> 00:06:19.800 all just sat there on the taxiing playing with this 132 00:06:19.839 --> 00:06:25.319 weird UFO Sirens soundtrack blaring while I slowly disassociated from reality. Georgia, 133 00:06:25.360 --> 00:06:28.560 you are a writer. You must have taken writing classes 134 00:06:28.680 --> 00:06:31.040 or worked for the Star Tribune or something because you're 135 00:06:31.040 --> 00:06:34.680 a writer. Eventually it stopped. I'm not sure I've recovered anyway. 136 00:06:34.720 --> 00:06:36.199 It got me thinking, have you ever look at your 137 00:06:36.199 --> 00:06:39.839 parents mid chaos and think, wait, these are the people 138 00:06:39.839 --> 00:06:42.600 who raised me. Thanks for bringing a smile to my 139 00:06:42.639 --> 00:06:46.600 face every day, Georgia. Well, Jenny and Bailey both have stories. 140 00:06:47.000 --> 00:06:50.319 Some you can tell, some you cannot. But I hear 141 00:06:50.360 --> 00:06:52.480 from these two all the time. Oh my god, you 142 00:06:52.480 --> 00:06:55.040 wouldn't believe what my dad did or I had to 143 00:06:55.079 --> 00:06:56.759 tell my mom to blah blah blah. 144 00:06:56.879 --> 00:06:57.319 Damn. 145 00:06:58.160 --> 00:07:01.240 Yeah, I'm sure I could come up with a bunch 146 00:07:01.240 --> 00:07:03.240 of them. But me and my sister, we have one 147 00:07:03.360 --> 00:07:05.279 story about my mom that we bring up all the 148 00:07:05.319 --> 00:07:07.879 time in front of her because we were all like 149 00:07:08.000 --> 00:07:11.120 in Ohio, which is where my grandma lives, where my 150 00:07:11.160 --> 00:07:13.680 mom grew up, grew up, and we're all like with family, 151 00:07:13.759 --> 00:07:16.199 and we're having this big long conversation and my mom 152 00:07:16.279 --> 00:07:18.399 is the one disassociating. I can tell she's just kind 153 00:07:18.399 --> 00:07:23.360 of sitting there like staring, and we're all chatting, talking, 154 00:07:23.639 --> 00:07:26.600 And then I look over at my mom and make 155 00:07:26.639 --> 00:07:28.279 eye contact with her, and she looks up at me, 156 00:07:28.319 --> 00:07:32.639 and she goes church and we're like church. She's like, yeah, 157 00:07:32.680 --> 00:07:36.439 aren't we talking about church? No, And so we just 158 00:07:36.519 --> 00:07:38.279 bring it up all the time where we just go. 159 00:07:38.680 --> 00:07:40.800 We'll be in a conversation and me and my sister 160 00:07:40.839 --> 00:07:45.480 will just go church. Yes, church, because girl, what are 161 00:07:45.480 --> 00:07:49.040 you talking about? So she's gone slightly batty in her 162 00:07:49.079 --> 00:07:51.519 old age.

But I've 170 00:08:06.160 --> 00:08:07.560 worked with you for almost ten years. 171 00:08:07.639 --> 00:08:07.879 Go on. 172 00:08:08.639 --> 00:08:12.560 I'd say a few things have changed your ability to 173 00:08:12.600 --> 00:08:14.240 pay attention to me when I speak. 174 00:08:14.360 --> 00:08:17.399 I'm just kidd. 175 00:08:17.600 --> 00:08:19.560 That's always just been your thing, is I'll know if 176 00:08:19.600 --> 00:08:22.120 you're paying attention or not, and I will immediately be 177 00:08:22.160 --> 00:08:24.360 able to be like, dam it, did you hear me? 178 00:08:24.519 --> 00:08:24.639 No? 179 00:08:24.720 --> 00:08:28.879 Sorry, I'll literally say I'm sorry, I wasn't listening, and 180 00:08:29.000 --> 00:08:32.039 that's on me.

You know, Like it's just I don't know. 190 00:08:51.039 --> 00:08:53.039 I grew up with a dad like that, so okay. 191 00:08:53.120 --> 00:08:56.480 I find myself sometimes like when Alison comes over or 192 00:08:56.600 --> 00:09:00.480 Carson's on FaceTime and Susan does most of the talking, 193 00:09:00.879 --> 00:09:04.679 and I'll be like kind of like tune out sometimes 194 00:09:04.720 --> 00:09:07.600 and I don't mean to, but then I'll be like, so, Carson, 195 00:09:07.600 --> 00:09:09.399 did you blah blah blah, and he'll say like I 196 00:09:09.679 --> 00:09:14.200 just told mom that I like, okay. He's home from 197 00:09:14.200 --> 00:09:18.399 the Willow Avalon tour and it went really well. I 198 00:09:18.440 --> 00:09:20.440 face he faced time last night and he was just 199 00:09:20.480 --> 00:09:22.000 in such a good mood. He was tired. He's still 200 00:09:22.039 --> 00:09:24.559 tired from the tour, and he's got a couple of 201 00:09:24.559 --> 00:09:26.720 weeks off till he goes back out with Willow Avalon 202 00:09:26.799 --> 00:09:27.679 again May. 203 00:09:28.120 --> 00:09:30.360 So he his plans in his time off. 204 00:09:30.919 --> 00:09:34.480 That's what I asked him. I really, he's still got 205 00:09:34.519 --> 00:09:37.000 like paperwork to do on the tour and collecting bills 206 00:09:37.039 --> 00:09:39.759 and billing people and things like that. All right. Next 207 00:09:39.799 --> 00:09:43.480 one from Aaron, she says, I felt the need to 208 00:09:43.480 --> 00:09:45.759 write in after I heard the listener write in about 209 00:09:45.759 --> 00:09:49.399 needing a coach signer for a car. I am struggling 210 00:09:49.440 --> 00:09:52.840 to tell my point. My parents, my boyfriend and I 211 00:09:52.879 --> 00:09:55.200 are getting a puppy. We did a lot of research 212 00:09:55.559 --> 00:09:57.679 on budgeting. It's going to be okay. I know how 213 00:09:57.720 --> 00:10:00.240 much work animals are and expensive they can be, but 214 00:10:00.320 --> 00:10:04.200 I've got my boyfriend's support financially and physically. I have 215 00:10:04.480 --> 00:10:07.159 been supported by my parents through most of my twenties. 216 00:10:07.159 --> 00:10:09.399 I'm twenty seven now. In both vehicles I started with 217 00:10:09.480 --> 00:10:11.960 were gifts from my parents. My parents helped me buy 218 00:10:11.960 --> 00:10:14.320 a horse when I was twelve, paid for boarding lessons, etc. 219 00:10:15.360 --> 00:10:17.440 I've taken care of the bills since I graduated for 220 00:10:17.559 --> 00:10:20.360 college and got a big girl job. Unfortunately, with just 221 00:10:20.399 --> 00:10:23.080 starting a career, I hadn't exactly made a lot of 222 00:10:23.080 --> 00:10:25.720 money to comfortably support myself on my horse. I do okay, 223 00:10:26.000 --> 00:10:28.200 but when I get a big or unexpected vet bill 224 00:10:28.799 --> 00:10:32.399 or truck maintenance, I struggle and sometimes they help. Okay, 225 00:10:32.879 --> 00:10:35.519 by the way, don't be embarrassed about that. That happens 226 00:10:35.720 --> 00:10:38.279 a lot. As a matter of fact. I know people 227 00:10:38.320 --> 00:10:40.759 in my neighborhood that are probably in their thirties and 228 00:10:40.879 --> 00:10:43.200 mom and dad made the down payment on their house. Yeah, 229 00:10:43.840 --> 00:10:46.480 so it's not uncommon. Fast forward to now about a 230 00:10:46.480 --> 00:10:48.679 new truck much needed. But now I got a car payment, 231 00:10:48.759 --> 00:10:51.360 got to pay my own insurance, which is completely understandable. 232 00:10:51.840 --> 00:10:54.799 I work multiple odd in type jobs and I'm prepared 233 00:10:54.840 --> 00:10:56.840 to do this till I can fully support myself on 234 00:10:56.840 --> 00:10:59.360 one job. My boyfriend is great at splitting costs, so 235 00:10:59.399 --> 00:11:01.519 I feel will do fine with the cost of a pup. 236 00:11:01.720 --> 00:11:03.919 But I know my mom is not keen on this, 237 00:11:04.879 --> 00:11:06.799 and I think a dog will help me maintain a 238 00:11:06.799 --> 00:11:09.679 better schedule and support my physical and mental health. I 239 00:11:09.960 --> 00:11:11.799 just don't know how to tell her, and I really 240 00:11:11.840 --> 00:11:14.600 worry I'll have some big financial stress come up which 241 00:11:14.639 --> 00:11:16.960 will cause me to put my tail between my legs 242 00:11:17.000 --> 00:11:19.240 and ask for help. I'm a big girl. I can 243 00:11:19.240 --> 00:11:22.399 make my own choices, but obviously my parents' opinion is valuable. 244 00:11:22.720 --> 00:11:24.320 I know they won't be a fan of this dog, 245 00:11:24.440 --> 00:11:26.679 but it's really something I want to move forward with, 246 00:11:26.960 --> 00:11:29.399 and I've already put a deposit down. Just want some 247 00:11:29.440 --> 00:11:32.240 advice on how to tell my parents I'm getting a puppy. Well, 248 00:11:32.279 --> 00:11:34.360 I think you're well within your rights to get a puppy. 249 00:11:34.399 --> 00:11:38.000 I mean, you're an adult, but I can see how 250 00:11:38.000 --> 00:11:42.480 they might be annoyed if they are still helping you financially. 251 00:11:42.799 --> 00:11:44.919 How do you feel when Donna calls you and wants 252 00:11:44.960 --> 00:11:47.360 five more cats and you're like, great, that's. 253 00:11:47.159 --> 00:11:47.720 More for me. 254 00:11:48.159 --> 00:11:53.440 The difference is Donna is very irresponsible in all financial 255 00:11:53.480 --> 00:11:56.600 areas of her life. She always has been. She's never 256 00:11:56.639 --> 00:11:58.759 been good with money. Whenever Donna got money, she would 257 00:11:58.799 --> 00:12:01.600 always have to spend it. And she gave away my 258 00:12:01.720 --> 00:12:03.639 dad's inheritance. I think I told you about that. 259 00:12:03.960 --> 00:12:06.879 Yeah, it's some guy that scammed her. 260 00:12:07.039 --> 00:12:09.679 Yep. She got like sixteen thousand dollars from when my 261 00:12:09.759 --> 00:12:11.639 dad died, and she went to work and bragged about it, 262 00:12:11.639 --> 00:12:13.519 and some guy said he needed it for law school. 263 00:12:14.960 --> 00:12:17.679 This guy probably can't even spell law school, and she 264 00:12:17.919 --> 00:12:20.559 gave him a big part of it. So you know, 265 00:12:20.679 --> 00:12:23.639 she was just she wants so badly for people to 266 00:12:23.759 --> 00:12:26.240 like her. Yeah, and that is one of Donna's biggest 267 00:12:26.240 --> 00:12:29.600 flaws is she just really really wants people to like her, 268 00:12:30.440 --> 00:12:35.440 which is really it's sweet, but it's also it's annoying. 269 00:12:35.840 --> 00:12:39.519 It's like, stop trying so hard to make people like you. 270 00:12:39.519 --> 00:12:41.559 You know, people will like you better if you're just yourself. 271 00:12:42.200 --> 00:12:44.679 That these people aren't that in a Donna situation. 272 00:12:45.080 --> 00:12:48.120 No, So anyway, I don't really know. I would say, 273 00:12:48.159 --> 00:12:50.279 you know, mom and dad were going to be responsible 274 00:12:50.320 --> 00:12:53.240 for this myself, but you're going to need to some 275 00:12:53.279 --> 00:12:55.440 point borrow money for a vet bill or a truck 276 00:12:55.480 --> 00:12:57.559 bill or something. I don't know what to tell you. 277 00:12:57.720 --> 00:13:00.879 If it's just like that, they're concerned that, Okay, well 278 00:13:00.919 --> 00:13:03.000 you gave us money for our house and now we 279 00:13:03.039 --> 00:13:05.399 want to get a dog. But like, I think the 280 00:13:05.559 --> 00:13:08.320 rationale to your parents could be like, well, we'd want 281 00:13:08.320 --> 00:13:10.840 this house to feel like a home, and a dog 282 00:13:10.879 --> 00:13:12.919 will help it feel like a home. And I think 283 00:13:12.960 --> 00:13:18.600 that's like a valid excuse. I guess that maybe hopefully 284 00:13:18.720 --> 00:13:19.960 your parents will understand. 285 00:13:21.000 --> 00:13:21.600 I would hope, so. 286 00:13:21.799 --> 00:13:23.759 Yeah. At the same time, I will put a little 287 00:13:23.799 --> 00:13:27.399 bit on you and say you're not entirely in the right. 288 00:13:27.919 --> 00:13:30.960 I mean, if you are still, you know, at your age, 289 00:13:31.000 --> 00:13:33.759 being supported by mom and dad here and there, and 290 00:13:33.799 --> 00:13:35.360 you're going to get a puppy that you might not 291 00:13:35.399 --> 00:13:37.000 be able to afford, there's a little bit of me 292 00:13:37.080 --> 00:13:40.919 that says, you know what, you're not entirely in the right. 293 00:13:41.480 --> 00:13:43.879 Yeah, I mean I agree with that too, but I 294 00:13:44.000 --> 00:13:47.240 will I mean, I've just never had anybody to rely 295 00:13:47.360 --> 00:13:49.759 on for money my entire life. It's always been on me. 296 00:13:50.039 --> 00:13:51.639 I could never rely on my parents to help me 297 00:13:51.679 --> 00:13:53.919 out if I was in a pickle. So that's the 298 00:13:53.960 --> 00:13:56.360 life I grew up, and so I feel like that's 299 00:13:56.519 --> 00:13:59.039 how other people should be. But I know that's probably 300 00:13:59.080 --> 00:13:59.759 not fair to say. 301 00:14:00.080 --> 00:14:04.480 Okay, all right, next one, Hello all from Kelly. We 302 00:14:04.480 --> 00:14:07.600 were talking about the recurring dream that I have. I 303 00:14:07.639 --> 00:14:11.240 have it very very frequently, almost every night, and it's 304 00:14:11.279 --> 00:14:13.039 not a bad dream. It's just a dream where I'm 305 00:14:13.080 --> 00:14:15.559 trying to get somewhere, but the plane is leaving it 306 00:14:15.600 --> 00:14:17.320 in an hour, and I still got to all my 307 00:14:17.320 --> 00:14:18.960 stuff and I haven't packed yet, and I get this 308 00:14:19.039 --> 00:14:20.440 over here, and I gotta clean up, and I gotta 309 00:14:20.440 --> 00:14:22.799 find this, and I get to get the airport or whatever. 310 00:14:24.320 --> 00:14:27.120 This person says. I have the same recurring dream I'm 311 00:14:27.159 --> 00:14:29.200 supposed to be going somewhere. I'm not packed, I can't 312 00:14:29.200 --> 00:14:31.360 find the things I need, people are waiting on me, 313 00:14:31.399 --> 00:14:33.039 and for some reason, it's taken me forever to get 314 00:14:33.080 --> 00:14:35.440 my stuff together. I don't know how you don't find 315 00:14:35.440 --> 00:14:38.679 those dreams stressful. I find mine to be very stressful. 316 00:14:39.120 --> 00:14:40.840 I also have the dreams that I'm back in school. 317 00:14:40.840 --> 00:14:43.080 I get a book report due tomorrow but I haven't 318 00:14:43.080 --> 00:14:45.039 read the book, or a huge project that I haven't 319 00:14:45.080 --> 00:14:47.559 yet started. You'd think at thirty five, I wouldn't have 320 00:14:47.600 --> 00:14:50.919 those dreams anymore. Anyway, love listening to you guys. Thanks 321 00:14:50.919 --> 00:14:52.759 for entertaining us each day. 322 00:14:53.799 --> 00:14:56.159 I still have like school dreams too. Mine are always 323 00:14:56.159 --> 00:14:58.399 about like I didn't have enough college credit to graduate 324 00:14:58.519 --> 00:15:01.279 in time, which we have a dream expert on once, 325 00:15:01.279 --> 00:15:03.159 and they said that, like usually that means, do you 326 00:15:03.159 --> 00:15:05.399 feel like you're not getting enough credit in your life 327 00:15:05.440 --> 00:15:06.240 where you deserve it? 328 00:15:06.399 --> 00:15:07.960 Or something I don't really. 329 00:15:07.840 --> 00:15:12.720 Okay, I'm gonna go ahead and confess something. I think 330 00:15:12.720 --> 00:15:15.519 I'm going to have told you this one. Not very often, 331 00:15:15.559 --> 00:15:18.399 but once a month or so, I will have a messy, messy, 332 00:15:18.480 --> 00:15:23.440 disgusting dream about poop where I've I've got I've got 333 00:15:23.440 --> 00:15:27.159 poop everywhere, I've got it on my hands, I'm trying 334 00:15:27.200 --> 00:15:29.080 to wipe it off with a towel that's got poop 335 00:15:29.120 --> 00:15:32.480 on it, and it's everywhere. The toilet is full of 336 00:15:32.519 --> 00:15:35.879 poop and I'm trying to like clean it off, and 337 00:15:35.919 --> 00:15:38.360 the toilet sees got poop all over it. I think 338 00:15:38.360 --> 00:15:40.039 in the last one, I usually had poop in my 339 00:15:40.120 --> 00:15:42.639 mouth and it was just everywhere. 340 00:15:42.840 --> 00:15:43.200 Stream. 341 00:15:43.480 --> 00:15:44.679 Poop dreams are a real thing. 342 00:15:44.840 --> 00:15:45.759 What does it mean? Though? 343 00:15:45.799 --> 00:15:47.759 It means that you are holding onto something you need 344 00:15:47.840 --> 00:15:52.360 to release, because I seriously, yes, like two months ago, 345 00:15:52.440 --> 00:15:54.679 I was having poop dreams too, and so I was 346 00:15:54.720 --> 00:15:56.840 doing some research because I was like, I've never had 347 00:15:56.840 --> 00:16:00.279 these before in my life. And it's like you're holding 348 00:16:00.240 --> 00:16:02.279 onto like a grudge or you're holding onto something you 349 00:16:02.279 --> 00:16:04.440 need to like confront that you just need to like release. 350 00:16:04.759 --> 00:16:07.720 That's what's no. 351 00:16:08.440 --> 00:16:12.440 Yeah, Wow, that actually kind of makes a lot of sense, 352 00:16:13.639 --> 00:16:16.360 and that kind of coincides with when I started having 353 00:16:16.440 --> 00:16:19.399 shit dreams. 354 00:16:19.200 --> 00:16:21.879 His dreams is so weird. I mean, it is your 355 00:16:21.919 --> 00:16:24.879 subconscious so it's just like it's really diving into something 356 00:16:24.919 --> 00:16:27.480 that you probably suppressed or something. 357 00:16:28.000 --> 00:16:31.039 Does anybody else want to admit that they've had shit 358 00:16:31.200 --> 00:16:34.000 dreams where it's like you got it all over your 359 00:16:34.000 --> 00:16:35.879 hands and you try to wash it off, but the 360 00:16:35.919 --> 00:16:39.519 water has got shit in it.

He says, Hey, day, 370 00:17:06.640 --> 00:17:09.359 point of correction in your response to the discussion of 371 00:17:09.400 --> 00:17:12.519 the Little Pilot girl. We were talking about that girl 372 00:17:12.839 --> 00:17:15.680 last week on the podcast that died. She was six 373 00:17:15.759 --> 00:17:18.319 years old and she was flying a publicity stunt set 374 00:17:18.359 --> 00:17:20.720 up by her parents across the country, and they took 375 00:17:20.759 --> 00:17:25.319 off in bad weather and she died. She was Jessica DuBroth. 376 00:17:26.240 --> 00:17:29.200 I think I called her Jessica McClure. That was the 377 00:17:29.279 --> 00:17:35.200 baby who fell down the well in Texas. Jessica's as 378 00:17:35.240 --> 00:17:37.839 for advance and by the way Jessica McLure lived, they 379 00:17:37.839 --> 00:17:40.640 were able to get her out as for Advanced Placement 380 00:17:40.640 --> 00:17:43.480 classes because I said, what does AP stand for? I 381 00:17:43.559 --> 00:17:45.599 loved him. I took enough AP classes and tests in 382 00:17:45.640 --> 00:17:49.319 school that I entered college with three semesters worth of 383 00:17:49.400 --> 00:17:52.519 credits and was able to earn a bachelor's in two 384 00:17:52.559 --> 00:17:55.279 and a half years. AP is a real time and 385 00:17:55.400 --> 00:17:56.240 money saver. 386 00:17:56.720 --> 00:18:00.079 Definitely a money saver and obviously time too. But I 387 00:18:00.079 --> 00:18:03.000 remember my I'm so happy I did AP psych because 388 00:18:03.039 --> 00:18:04.960 if I would have taken AP psych in college it 389 00:18:04.960 --> 00:18:07.720 would have been a harder. But b I also did 390 00:18:07.799 --> 00:18:10.680 AP stats and that helped with like a math credit 391 00:18:10.799 --> 00:18:12.759 as well for me. But I did like math, so 392 00:18:12.759 --> 00:18:15.279 I wouldn't have been super against having to take that 393 00:18:15.319 --> 00:18:17.440 in college. But I'm so happy I didn't have to 394 00:18:17.480 --> 00:18:19.960 take psych because I did like libeb and you'd have 395 00:18:20.039 --> 00:18:22.039 to do all these like random requirements that didn't have 396 00:18:22.160 --> 00:18:25.039 shit to do with your degree, and so I'm happy 397 00:18:25.079 --> 00:18:26.400 I didn't have to take that in college. 398 00:18:26.519 --> 00:18:29.519 I think if I recommend, if like a high schooler say, like, 399 00:18:29.519 --> 00:18:32.079 what do you recommend AP PSO all of that, I 400 00:18:32.079 --> 00:18:35.640 would recommend PSO or like college in the schools, sometimes 401 00:18:35.680 --> 00:18:39.319
