00:00:00 Yeah
00:00:02 Hmm now if I stand up here I could have hair right? Yeah. Hello
00:00:08 Has it started
00:00:12 Is that my conscience? No, that's me kind of is wait wait. Hi. Oh, yeah the hair the hair. There you go. There you go
00:00:20 Hang on should we try what I would oh
00:00:28 Wait, we can do it. We can do it. Do you think we could hang on and stay in focus is here
00:00:32 Come on, you can do it
00:00:34 There we go. There we go. Yeah
00:00:36 Oh you
00:00:39 Tentacles we tried we tried it didn't quite work
00:00:45 so
00:00:47 We're gonna start off the show and is he kindly graciously eagerly?
00:00:52 I will say we're gonna start off the show with the question. Oh, what was it?
00:00:56 What lies do you tell yourself? What lies do you tell yourself now?
00:00:59 She didn't want to talk about the lies. She tells herself. Although we get to that. I will get to that
00:01:04 What is it that you most wanted to talk about?
00:01:07 Okay. Well, it wasn't me exactly
00:01:10 so just before the show my mom we'd got some candy and my mom brought it out because she was gonna have a bit and
00:01:14 In my dad's little like ziploc baggie
00:01:17 He has a bunch of like chocolate stuff and some of the chocolate chocolate covered almonds peanut butter chocolate
00:01:25 Chocolate you get the idea. It's chocolate. So
00:01:27 You know, he goes and he takes it and we've had this really really long ongoing debate. Wait, sorry
00:01:33 Just before you get to that. Yeah
00:01:35 How long ago was Halloween?
00:01:37 How long ago with Halloween it is the third
00:01:41 yes, so Halloween was three or so days ago four days ago and
00:01:46 Where did we go last night?
00:01:50 Candy store because it's like hey, it's been a few days. We were right there. We didn't get very good Halloween candy
00:01:56 And yeah, I did go how I did go trick-or-treating even at the age of 14. Don't judge me
00:02:00 So I but you're in a social group where kids do it up to 17 or 18, right?
00:02:05 Yeah, an 18 year old with us the older brother, but anyways
00:02:08 We were just you know at the area and the candy store it was calling to us
00:02:13 So obviously we know because we have no self-control. So right
00:02:17 so one of the lies is
00:02:20 And we're gonna ask you guys what your lies are what do you tell it?
00:02:24 What did you tell yourself? There's a total lie. So one of the lies I tell myself is
00:02:28 you think that
00:02:31 Chocolate covered almonds are healthy. No, no, no, not chocolate. Let's be fair
00:02:37 What?
00:02:39 Dark, you know you left off that dark chocolate dark chocolate extra 10% cocoa
00:02:45 Dark chocolate is a magical thing that erases all the negatives of the potential sugar that could be in the amalgam
00:02:51 Yeah, but the calories are still there I'm absolutely but so one lie I tell myself is that
00:03:00 Dark chocolate covered almonds or raisins, you know, it's just right grapes, right?
00:03:05 Raisins do often have like some added sugar and preservatives. I was actually just telling my show
00:03:10 I was telling the audience about my all
00:03:13 Dried grapes diet my diet of all dried grapes. Just raise an awareness
00:03:17 in general
00:03:20 General okay. So one of the things
00:03:24 Another thing is that why am I wearing this shirt?
00:03:27 Why because mom said what? Oh, yeah, you can't wear your gym shirt. Take off my gym shirt. I agree with this
00:03:35 Okay, it's a gym shirt. It's like a like a $5 like tank top looking thing
00:03:40 It does not look suitable for a live stream. But why did I have this shirt on because you think that when you wear the shirt?
00:03:47 It'll make you I'll work out in the morning
00:03:51 I what I wake up and I put on my shorts and my workout shirt cuz I'm like, I'm absolutely I'll get round to working
00:03:57 out today sure you will and
00:03:59 lies lies lies
00:04:01 Now, I don't know if you guys have kids
00:04:03 But one of the things that's a real joy and it's really payback for crying and being up when they're young is
00:04:08 Tricking them by repeatedly saying things that drive them fairly mental. Yeah, let me okay
00:04:13 Peanut butter. Yes, it contains protein, but I'm pretty sure last I check for like one tablespoon of peanut butter
00:04:21 there's like a hundred and twenty calories obviously this varies on which brand you use and like
00:04:26 Four or five grams of protein and okay. Yes, it has protein in it
00:04:31 But for the protein to calorie ratio, it does not have enough protein in it to make it
00:04:36 Protein worthy if you want protein go eat some steak
00:04:39 Nice almonds have protein but like no protein. That's
00:04:44 Now you guys may hear something I hear like this vague buzzing sound of sound in my ear because it goes against what I tell myself
00:04:53 So it just goes more purple purple. It's like listen to Charlie Brown's teacher play the tuba
00:04:57 Another lie I tell myself is my daughter is listening
00:05:03 It's another lie
00:05:07 What else do you you okay because I said would you like to tell the audience things I lie about
00:05:11 Myself too and you said oh, yes, and then I said how long would the show be about three hours about three hours
00:05:17 Then again, that would also be if I said things I lie about cuz I thought a lot of stuff
00:05:21 I wait but to yourself not to anyone else. Yeah. Yeah, totally totally
00:05:25 but
00:05:27 Alright, so what else what else do you find that? Oh, I know for you
00:05:32 I don't I don't really need to follow the story on Baldur's Gate. Oh
00:05:36 Oh, I need help getting to this area when we play it when he plays Baldur's Gate, right
00:05:43 So I will just give me the circles to hit with fireballs. Oh
00:05:46 Sorry, I will go up and you know, he's here on the laptop
00:05:51 Maybe playing some Baldur's Gate and I'll be like, oh, okay. So, you know
00:05:54 Did you decide to take the deal with like Gortash and and Orin and you know Rafael and stuff and he's like what deal?
00:06:02 And he's like wait, where's the Orphic sword?
00:06:04 I'm like check your inventories and he's like a hammer or for camera and he's like but who has it and I'm like
00:06:08 I don't know. It's your game
00:06:10 Yeah, I don't know so is he's finished the game yes a while ago and what happens is I get lost and I don't know
00:06:19 what to do next and
00:06:20 One of the things that Izzy did somewhat recently was she just gave me I said
00:06:25 Can you look something up for me? And what did you hand me the introduction to Baldur's Gate?
00:06:30 It was like a subsection of a Baldur's Gate 3 guide to a certain quest, okay
00:06:35 The other lie you tell yourself is oh, I only drink two cups of coffee a day. We're not counting the four lattes
00:06:41 No, no, the decafs don't really count. Yeah, it's still an addiction though
00:06:47 I'm on the fence about that. Yeah, I'm on the fence. I mean you need to be hydrated
00:06:53 So you drink water? You don't drink like the orange like coffee water with protein
00:06:58 But but but water doesn't taste like coffee. So that's the problem. I just want to
00:07:03 Water. All right, that is what coffee is. It's coffee flavored water. Okay, one thing. I definitely lie about myself, too is
00:07:10 About protein drinks. Oh, I don't I don't need to you know, I don't huge fan of like, you know
00:07:17 Like I don't know steak and chicken and stuff. I mean I ate I had like food that people eat not astronauts. No, it's
00:07:25 Like I'll eat it I had a sandwich today and it had lamb in it
00:07:28 So I definitely do eat like meat and stuff, but it's just I
00:07:31 Don't I don't really like it so I don't eat it often
00:07:34 So I do have to find a way to get my protein so I think and I say peanut butter. No, I'm just kidding
00:07:39 The protein drinks with 30 grams of protein in it and highly processed are really good for you. Yes, you know
00:07:46 Protein well, and that's an addiction too because every time we pass like if we're driving and we pass by a convenience store
00:07:54 You will literally try and chew you right out the window to try and get to the convenience store because there could be something with
00:07:59 More protein in it. That's magical. I see one of the comments. This is stevia soft drinks. Yes. Stevia isn't too bad
00:08:04 I just you know, don't really like consuming too much like artificial artificial sweeteners and stuff. But yeah, no, I love stevia
00:08:12 I know it's not good for me, but I eat it anyways
00:08:14 What else what else do I have that I I don't have too many computers. I don't have too many microphones
00:08:22 No, it's a way too many in this room. Yeah, there's a lot. What do we got here? I've got this
00:08:27 I have this microphone. I have two down there. I have one upstairs. I have this one
00:08:36 two headsets down there and
00:08:38 Yeah, I like to say that I use them all and at some point I'm sure I did or do
00:08:44 On the plus side. I'm getting another microphone delivered tomorrow. But anyway
00:08:49 That's just that's just fact of life. I mean, that's just labor man. That's work. What else anything else? Oh
00:08:54 I know I'm going to sit on the couch and listen to music
00:09:01 Right and that's because I'm often listening to musicians who fall asleep and you can just hear that through my headset
00:09:09 Not loud enough to keep me away the mind
00:09:14 Yes, I'm going to do you love yourself I'm just gonna go I've got an important podcast I need to listen to
00:09:19 So yeah, there's definitely that there's definitely that
00:09:23 What else anything else? I'm not sure
00:09:26 Oh
00:09:29 We're gonna go to the grocery store without mom and just get a couple of things. Oh, yeah
00:09:33 We never happens. Yeah, that's like oh, it's okay Izzy
00:09:36 I'm just gonna I'm gonna take you out to the store or whatever and then on the back
00:09:39 We'll just you know, I have to go to the grocery store. We'll grab a couple like items and
00:09:43 And then we're there for an hour. Yeah
00:09:46 So that's a big thing. All right, let's see what people have here
00:09:51 I once fell asleep once while catching up on a past show obviously not mine. Yeah, probably Metallica
00:09:58 Probably Metallica
00:10:00 Peanut butter is only good for chocolate. That is yeah, that's pretty good
00:10:03 We should get we should get these sweets in the house because we won't eat them too fast
00:10:11 Do you think yeah, we so so I'm not we're not too bad with that don't eat like too much
00:10:17 I don't know sugar and stuff. I mean I do kind of I mean I try not to and
00:10:21 It'll be like I don't eat any sugar for a week and then we'll get like I don't know a little packet of chocolates and
00:10:28 Then the chocolates gone in like two days
00:10:29 So I just I don't eat any and then I get all of my weak sugar consumption a day
00:10:33 So it's really not not very healthy. I'm trying to work on that. So
00:10:37 Dark chocolate is the dark side yogurt coated is evil Jedi. I can't eat yogurt coated stuff. It just makes me pass out
00:10:44 I don't know if it's too sugary or something like that. Yeah
00:10:46 The protein yogurt as well, it's not just a protein protein yogurt like this
00:10:52 I don't know Chobani Oikos stuff like I cannot pronounce any of these things, but it'll be like, oh, you know
00:10:57 It's low calorie protein yogurt. I'm like healthy. It's it's not, you know preservatives and
00:11:02 Artificial sweeteners and stuff. It's healthy. I'm a
00:11:05 SS I definitely tell myself the darker the chocolate the better it is for you and any natted nuts into it is a bonus
00:11:10 Do you know why the nuts are helpful?
00:11:12 Also, did you know I didn't know if you knew this this is actually scientifically true that if you have salt in your caramel
00:11:25 The salt takes out and removes and destroys all of the calories that are in the caramel. Not many people know that. Yeah
00:11:32 Because yeah, totally. I'm totally take off the gym shirt
00:11:35 Do you see what they try to lure me to do it's just appalling gym shirt plus healthy eating chocolate
00:11:43 competencies of work out
00:11:45 That's right. Almonds have protein. Ah, the Dread Pirate is absolutely right
00:11:50 I will peanut butter dust does create protein says manual. I'm just scrolling past manual, but a really poor quality
00:11:57 Oh, no, that's in Spanish. That just means the exact opposite in English. He just flips between the two
00:12:02 Mmm steak. All right good advice on the steak. What was your advice on the steak? I
00:12:07 Say I've no idea. I think I said it's better to eat steak than have protein drinks, but I really don't do that because
00:12:13 I eat spinach steaks. That's vegan nonsense. I don't know. Yeah, I
00:12:23 Just finished the death of reason from the bomb in the brain can't help but think it's applicable to chocolate
00:12:30 Yes, that's fair. No, she said is he there?
00:12:33 Any other I don't think I think okay anything else I'm sure there's more
00:12:39 There's nothing that's popping into your head
00:12:42 Those are the biggest ones. Yeah
00:12:45 Do you have do you have my suspicions regarding Stephens coffee consumption?
00:12:50 It's really it's he drinks a lot. Honestly, I mean I drink a lot of tea drinks a lot of coffee
00:12:54 That's kind of our thing what's fair to say though with sometimes I don't hugely occasionally
00:12:58 I don't hugely feel like doing a show but I say
00:13:00 But I can have coffee while doing so it's fine
00:13:03 Yeah, so also if you mama heading out like you had it out today and I say no no
00:13:12 I'm gonna try and find some time to relax and all of that. I know I'm not going to I just know I'm not going
00:13:16 To either it's that or you relax but like the whole time. That's what I've
00:13:19 Yeah, all right, I'm getting I let's see here
00:13:25 Potatoes are healthy before deep-frying. I've heard both things. What do you have you had much potatoes are like super car beat, right?
00:13:30 I don't I don't mean for me. I guess I haven't looked too much into like the health of carbs
00:13:36 I think it kind of matters like how you're getting your carbs
00:13:39 But I I eat potatoes is just that all the oil and nonsense from the deep fries
00:13:44 Really high in calories and not great for you. But yeah, definitely I eat potatoes
00:13:49 Mashed potatoes are good, but very like, you know, a lot of cream and milk and stuff
00:13:53 My brother was quick like absolute king of mashed potatoes. Oh, yeah. Oh, he would make these things
00:13:58 They like mayonnaise and butter and sour cream and see no
00:14:02 Because it doesn't have any
00:14:06 Update Steph drinks too much coffee eats too many chocolate-covered almonds and easy things protein drinks a real food
00:14:12 I mean real liquid that can replace food because it's bad
00:14:16 You go to the grocery store, you know, I gotta tell you somebody asked me today
00:14:21 What is the best vacation for kids and I was talking about how you just like catching lizards rather than going to like Disney World
00:14:27 Yeah, and I think some of the best times we've ever had have been in grocery stores. Oh, it's hilarious
00:14:32 It's a lot of actually I really like going to the grocery. Yeah, I love
00:14:35 You know dragging either one of my parents to aisles like looking at every single item or I just run through
00:14:42 And then complain and my mom does the same thing. So a little bit hypocritical, but you know, it's what I do
00:14:48 I do I do I ever say that I'm not particularly impatient
00:14:53 Yeah, yeah, I've heard that you probably said in an impatient tone
00:14:57 But because when we're scrolling through social media posts and there's something that takes more than eight to ten seconds what happens?
00:15:03 Well, I'm just like oh, let's fast-forward this and you literally will grab my arm
00:15:07 Look if we're walking down the street and I'm like, oh, I'm gonna go to the grocery store
00:15:10 You literally will grab my arm. Look if we're watching like I don't know a funny video
00:15:14 They give us a five second pop-up saying like subscribe
00:15:17 I tell you not to skip ahead ten seconds because then we miss ten like five seconds of the next clip afterwards
00:15:23 Yeah, probably six or seven because it takes us a couple moments to get to the skip. It's no point
00:15:27 It's like three seconds by the end of it that you're skipping and then you lose like so much of the video
00:15:32 It's just not good, but there is a principle involved which is quite complicated, which I'll explain to you when you get older
00:15:37 What?
00:15:40 Later
00:15:41 No, it's it's it's it's complicated. It involves a lot of gravitational pull some vector calculus and geography
00:15:48 So I probably know it better than you do explain it
00:15:51 When
00:15:54 What else anything else?
00:15:56 No, I think that's good. Not bad. Now any other things that you know, you lie to yourself about
00:16:03 I'm sure there are but nothing really I can't think of anything
00:16:08 It's usually just a little stuff like oh, I'll just have one gummy. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah for sure
00:16:12 Grocery shopping getting a different vibe with inflation boys. Oh, it really is. Isn't that true?
00:16:17 It was a new dopamine hit I get is when I find a sale what I miss a list
00:16:22 Just what it was six months ago. I know right, but I'll go and I'll be like, I don't know in the
00:16:27 Vegetable section. It'll be like, oh half off price on apples. I'm like, oh, I'm gonna get 20 apples
00:16:34 Another lie is I will measure my I will measure and control my kombucha intake. No, you won't. Yeah, that's that's pretty much not it
00:16:40 We go through like way too many of those. That's a lot of kombucha and
00:16:44 I'm actually a sweating carbonation. My sweat is carbonated
00:16:49 Yeah, I can I just tell you about I mentioned this to mom so I
00:16:56 Ordered a this is being in your 50s. You've got something to look forward to in 40 years
00:17:01 So, uh, you know, I've ordered and I put together my sit-up bar today
00:17:05 So I put up my sit-up bar today and then had a nap
00:17:07 Put together my sit-up bar there was some real turning with the screws. I'm good to go listen to some music
00:17:18 Anyway, that is that is my that is my make a good couch is my kryptonite, which is why mom didn't buy any good couches
00:17:26 That's why we you basically have we basically have Barbie furniture
00:17:29 It's fine for mom who's like five foot one and a bit but for normal human beings, it's just like it works for me
00:17:35 There's not like soft and comfortable which is you know, probably better for me that they aren't
00:17:39 Yeah, it is. It is a it is a velour womb to nestle in. It's very nice
00:17:44 McDonald's is now 40 or 50 bucks for the family. Yeah, that's crazy. It is. Yeah, I got we got weird
00:17:51 Like a little diner today or something and we had to like we were just there to use the washroom
00:17:56 so we got you know had to get a drink as well, but I got like a diet coke and
00:18:02 It was two and a half dollars
00:18:04 Like that's two dollars fifty cents for like a small diet coke with like ice filling up the whole cup pretty much
00:18:11 Are you in so she's absolutely ridiculous. No, no, you can't I can't what no no, no, you can't tell this audience that
00:18:16 That you speak the Voldemort beverage that has no name if you ever say the Voldemort beverage that has no name to this audience
00:18:26 What will happen
00:18:28 The audience will go. Oh my god
00:18:30 The color the aspartame the burpees the you'll be giving birth to the devil through your armpit if you okay
00:18:37 I just wanted to mention you very rarely have it my friends
00:18:41 They were drinking like a whole bottle of like the normal coke and I'm like you can't like I'm like this
00:18:46 What's has so much sugar in it?
00:18:47 I'd rather have a bit of aspartame and stuff than a whole thing
00:18:50 I know diet coke is a whole is not great with all the dye and it's the aspartame every now and then but I'll say
00:18:55 That to them and they're like, I don't want to get cancer from the aspartame and I'm like, yeah
00:18:58 I don't want to get diabetes from the sugar. So
00:19:01 I
00:19:03 Just wanted to mention as well and we won't go into any details about your friends
00:19:07 But I just want to for the people out here
00:19:09 who are
00:19:11 enjoying the endless dieting that happens after the age of
00:19:14 forever a
00:19:17 Lot of a lot of people that Izzy knows are teenage boys who are struggling to gain weight. Oh my gosh. Yeah, they're like
00:19:24 At one point I weighed more than them. Yeah. Yeah, I mean they literally they're lean as as like saplings
00:19:30 And I was talking with Ronnie's like, you know, I eat like 2,000 a day. I cannot can't gain any weight. Okay? No, no
00:19:36 No, they're really not they eat steak. They work out. They work out
00:19:40 They are not soy boys, but they just they literally cannot gain weight
00:19:43 They have the craziest metabolism like we were out
00:19:46 We were at Burger King once and they they usually try and eat healthier than that
00:19:49 But they did all get like these 1200 calorie burgers
00:19:52 Yeah, and they do this like every time we go out they just get the craziest food and they cannot gain weight
00:19:57 Yeah, it's absolutely ridiculous
00:19:58 They're also growing like I don't know five inches a year
00:20:00 So if I was reaching for one of those burgers my arteries would harden to the point where I couldn't move my arm
00:20:05 that would be my body's way to try and save me but
00:20:07 Somebody says I remember being a teen two pizzas a meal two meals a day
00:20:10 Oh, yeah, if you've got teenage boys, you might as well just take groceries and throw them down a well
00:20:15 Oh, that's about it. One of their moms was saying like, oh, yeah, it was an hour till dinner. He wanted rice
00:20:20 He wanted yeah, I can't make it till dinner
00:20:22 Mitch says I was eating one and a half pounds of beef and tons of rifles arises a teenager
00:20:29 3,500 calories a day and wasn't gaining any weight. It's wild
00:20:34 I mean, they're certainly not putting it into massive amounts of foresight
00:20:37 But hey, that's just jealousy of them being four decades back in time. Yeah
00:20:41 Remembering a supersonic double cheeseburger with a large strawberry shake every day for lunch and weight
00:20:48 120
00:20:50 5 or so. Oh, that's oh, that's a woman. Oh, wow
00:20:55 Again, they were like 115 and it's like okay, maybe if I weigh more than teenage boys, I should lose a bit of weight
00:21:01 So but yeah, it was just uh, it's crazy. Like they eat everything and they can't gain weight
00:21:07 I remember one guy ordered a pizza and he had like three quarters of it in just an hour before he had like a whole
00:21:12 pretzel and oh
00:21:12 I mean
00:21:13 especially with inflation that the moms must be looking at their teenage boys and thinking like you'd be better if I could just
00:21:18 Sell you for parts be like it makes some money. Yes. Yeah, it's crazy. Good morning from Australia. Yes. Welcome back early teens
00:21:24 I was the typical bottom of stomach my metabolism metabolism stalled out at 16. Oh, yeah, that's right that happens. All right
00:21:31 Shall we continue? Thank you
00:21:33 High-five. I appreciate it. That was fun. That was fun. Hi to everyone
00:21:37 We'll get on with the regularly scheduled show, but I thought that was kind of fun. All right. All right. Bye. Bye
00:21:42 All right
00:21:44 Well, good evening everybody. Bye Izzy. They say bye. Bye. Bye. Bye. Bye
00:21:49 Alrighty questions comments issues. I am all yours
00:21:56 I've been dropping weight recently by eating every other day being real strict with carbs and eating whole foods. I
00:22:05 Took the wrong road I wanted to have some so today I got up and
00:22:14 I had to I don't know you talk to a lot of accountants on this planet, right?
00:22:18 So I just had a conference call and then I did
00:22:21 a Q&A
00:22:24 solo show and then I had to do some
00:22:27 Excel based paperwork exciting stuff and then I did
00:22:31 part three of the French Revolution and then it was like oh
00:22:36 I went then I went for a walk with my wife and then I was like, oh shit
00:22:40 I'm kind of a little bit low on energy and
00:22:42 I mean I had a morning meeting. Can you believe it a morning meeting?
00:22:46 My entire life is scheduled around never having morning meetings, but I had one that was fine
00:22:49 But I was like, oh, you know, you have that fork in the road and you know, it's like I should work out
00:22:54 That'll give me energy. But what if it doesn't I need to bring my best for the audience?
00:22:58 So anyway, I lay down and listen to some music and when you listen to music, it's really important
00:23:03 You don't put on dark side of the moon. Do you know why if you put on dark side of the moon?
00:23:07 It's kind of a mellow album at least after the first money song, right?
00:23:10 Do you know why you can never ever rest with?
00:23:14 Dream of the Wizard of Oz no if you rest with dark side of the moon playing
00:23:22 That's right, you got it there is a song called time which starts off with every alarm clock in the planet
00:23:29 Ringing
00:23:33 It's it's not good
00:23:34 I can't tell you that because I was a huge Pink Floyd fan in my teens
00:23:38 And I can't tell you the number of times I was just like hey, man
00:23:41 listening to dark side of the moon and it's got the heartbeat and it's got the
00:23:45 Droney Gilmore vocals and it's got the thumping relaxing bass and you're basically back in a
00:23:51 dysfunctional LSD lace womb of the 60s and then
00:23:55 all of those clocks start going off and it's like
00:23:58 soul rejoins body from astral plane with deep thud of Arizona crater impact, so
00:24:05 What do you say to those who think time is an illusion? I would ask them why they arranged
00:24:10 Their words in a sequence in time that made sense, right?
00:24:15 Can anyone see these messages? Yes
00:24:17 Yes, yes, yes, so anyway, I did have a short nap and
00:24:23 All right, let's see here thank you for your tips tips are massively massively welcome
00:24:34 I
00:24:36 Step I have a Halloween themed question. Well more of a comment, but I'd like your thoughts on it
00:24:40 I've noticed the usual people putting out balls of candy and my kids following the rules and leaving some for others
00:24:46 However, I saw as expected the results of those who did not where the candy is pillaged by the parents who encouraged their kids to
00:24:51 Take everything. My question is why would the parents do this when they know it's wrong?
00:24:55 I'm almost unable to believe that they really don't know what the results would be
00:24:59 Right
00:25:02 Have you seen hit me with the why if you saw those videos on social media of the parents click in the
00:25:09 With the parents grabbing the candies
00:25:13 right
00:25:16 Okay, so yes, there are a number of videos and yeah, there's basically losing all the candies right now
00:25:24 Did you see any fathers doing it at all?
00:25:26 Did you see any fathers doing it at all?
00:25:32 It's not scientific but it was the moms right the moms are just grabbing and pillaging and so on right
00:25:37 so
00:25:40 It's not smart behavior obviously right knows anybody you mean we know why right so you it's the old thing
00:25:46 It's like well you can get a lot. You can get a lot of candy now
00:25:49 But
00:25:53 You'll get much less candy in the future
00:25:55 Like if everyone stole all the candy there would be no Halloween, right?
00:25:58 So you get a lot of candy now and you get less candy in the future. So
00:26:02 Yeah, when it comes to shoplifting and things like that
00:26:06 It's a little bit more of a female pursuit in the same way that poisoning rather than shooting is a female murder pursuit
00:26:10 So it's a lot of single mom single mom well, you can look up the general stats about them, but yeah
00:26:19 Yeah, it's I mean it's the usual like the the looting and just everybody going into the store and taking stuff
00:26:28 Well, welcome to the world where you have to take three buses to pick up a bag of milk, right?
00:26:32 So, I mean it's just yeah, it's just not behave people who aren't particularly smart and they just
00:26:41 They can't defer gratification and they just want things in here and now and they don't care what happens to the future
00:26:47 They don't even really think about what happens to the future
00:26:49 like something's right there in front of me and
00:26:53 I will take it and I will take all of it and they don't right
00:26:58 So
00:27:03 Yeah, it is and then of course what people will do is they will complain
00:27:07 about food deserts and it's just and terrible how we we have to go so far to get I mean they you know
00:27:14 Can't put it together, right?
00:27:17 Steph do you remember Bitcoin not working like the banks do in the US today?
00:27:23 Yeah, well, I don't remember Bitcoin being ever used to fund a war
00:27:28 What do you think of the lightning network, I think it's a great idea I think it's interesting
00:27:35 Hey, you know somebody's gonna solve it. I don't know to me. It's all it's all kinds of funny. It's like yeah, you know
00:27:41 crypto, you know, it's not particularly friendly when it comes to buying a cup of coffee and it's like
00:27:50 It's so the alternative is to have two kids born a million dollars in debt to have
00:27:55 180 trillion dollars of unfunded liabilities war depredation degradation and
00:28:01 migration
00:28:03 But you know balanced on that it might be tricky to buy a cup of coffee. I
00:28:08 Just think that's just so funny
00:28:15 I mean there's
00:28:20 NPC speak right is when you hear the same thing that you've heard a million times before right?
00:28:26 You know all the people who are saying that Bitcoin mining is not energy efficient
00:28:32 Don't seem to be too fussed about all the wars going on wars are very energy efficient, right?
00:28:38 It's still cheaper to transact with fees than with inflation. Yeah
00:28:43 Yeah, I
00:28:45 Mean you want to see something painful you look at
00:28:49 The house prices in the 1960s compared to salary, right?
00:28:54 You paid about 30% more than your annual salary to buy a comfortable house
00:28:59 Also, of course inflation promotes spending in the here and now right because your money's worth less in the future so it's more of
00:29:09 Nature's scarce resources. So yeah, so I mean I've said this before but I remember talking to an old teacher many years ago
00:29:16 And he said yeah, I got a house for twelve thousand dollars downtown, Toronto in the 1960s and I was making
00:29:22 $9,000 a year as a teacher
00:29:25 Teachers now get paid 70 80 K which means that houses, you know, even with that level of inflation should be no more than 140 to 150
00:29:33 Right 140 or 150, right? I
00:29:37 Mean that's migration, right? You can't build houses fast enough for the population
00:29:45 30 year mortgages. I think they're even longer now
00:29:48 I mean, I don't mean to rip off any band-aids, but I was talking a lot about Bitcoin
00:29:59 When it was
00:30:04 two dollars
00:30:11 Car loans of five or six years now. Well, yeah, and I mean inflation leads you to
00:30:16 The leases right where you don't actually really own much of the car when all is said and done
00:30:23 25 years is the max in Canada
00:30:26 Yes, sad but true
00:30:38 So, let me just see if I can get a little piece of info here that was pretty wild I thought
00:30:42 She keeps a moe to shend on in a pretty cabinet
00:30:52 The top 1% in America pays what percentage of all taxes the top 1% of earners?
00:30:57 Pay what percent of all taxes in America?
00:31:07 It is 43%
00:31:09 the top 1% pays 43% and
00:31:13 People literally they literally have the math and literacy to say the rich should pay 42.3%
00:31:20 Yeah, it's it's pretty wild they don't pay their fair share they just don't pay their fair share
00:31:37 A couple's who pray together
00:31:39 What percentage of couples who pray together daily get divorced?
00:31:43 What percentage of couples who pray together daily get divorced?
00:31:48 It's 1% about 1% of couples who pray together daily get divorced. It's not interesting
00:32:02 Less than 1% of couples
00:32:07 You
00:32:09 In the
00:32:11 beware
00:32:12 Free gifts everything's free
00:32:14 So in 1945 Soviet schoolchildren presented the US ambassador to the Soviet Union
00:32:20 Avril Harriman with a carved US seal as a gesture of friendship
00:32:24 it hung in his office for seven years before
00:32:28 Before what before what happened with the free Soviet gift
00:32:35 What happened?
00:32:37 Yes, that's right, that's right they discovered that
00:32:42 There was a listening device
00:32:46 It's a passive covert listening device developed in the Soviet Union
00:32:50 It was called a passive device as it did not have its own power source. It was activated by a strong electron
00:32:55 electromagnetic signal from outside
00:32:57 The bug was finally discovered by the US State Department in
00:33:01 1952 three ambassadors later during the tenure of ambassador George F Cannon
00:33:06 Isn't that great
00:33:10 That's great, it's all just a bunch of nonsense all of this government stuff so this great meme
00:33:16 Where this woman says honey, please go wake up her son
00:33:20 And the dad is grabbing the son by the collar saying drop out of grade five get a job and buy Bitcoin
00:33:29 All right, let me ask you this is for the men right I'm gonna I'm gonna save this
00:33:33 Yeah, we just just do a couple of memes. What the heck right?
00:33:35 Let me just I'm gonna do a couple of memes
00:33:38 I will tell you which I'm sure you guys will know but I'll tell you which one I based
00:33:42 My personality on it says men will turn four and base their whole personality off of one of these
00:33:48 Their whole personality off of one of these
00:33:53 And
00:33:55 It's coming in the chat here your whole personality and now just for those who are listening
00:34:04 we have a giant truck a dinosaur a medieval knight a tractor a pirate a
00:34:10 GI a train an
00:34:13 Astronaut and a cowboy
00:34:18 Well, come on tell me what you got you guys know which which is what I am right it's accurate right your whole personality as
00:34:25 A man, what do we got here load a tractor? Yes, where's the ice cream man?
00:34:29 Sorry, he's at the gay parade. My son is currently in the tractor stage. Yes. Yes dinosaur train tractor. Absolutely
00:34:36 I was a knight a witch
00:34:41 Man
00:34:44 - I was the night's accurate the samurai guns Godzilla. I was an astronaut. Yeah. Yeah, it's kind of funny, right?
00:34:51 I of course was the night paladin. I had a cousin who was a dinosaur
00:34:54 I went through a train phase for a while. I had a model train set
00:34:57 I actually slept under it in my early teens. I had a model train set and
00:35:00 Did the papi a maché and the wireframe and all of that and I slept under it because I had no room in my room
00:35:06 But all pirate all the time. That's the way soldier
00:35:11 Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes
00:35:14 HO scale. Yeah
00:35:16 Yeah superhero guy. Hmm. All right
00:35:21 Another couple of memes a couple of memes. Oh boy. Here's a story
00:35:28 All right, Eric
00:35:31 Abramovitz 24 applied to study at the Colburn Conservatory in Los Angeles in 2014
00:35:37 He was accepted and was offered full scholarship including room and board in an email
00:35:43 But he never saw the email because his then girlfriend Jennifer Lee
00:35:48 Intercepted it. She posed as him and turned the offer down in a reply then deleted the correspondence
00:35:55 Lee then sent a fake email posing as a school administrator telling Abramovitz. It'd been turned down
00:36:03 She offered a $5,000 scholarship to a different school, which she knew he could not afford instead then consoled him as he lamented the rejection
00:36:12 The pair broke up six months later and he carried on studying music
00:36:15 he discovered the deceit years later when he applied to the same school and was asked why he had turned it down previously and
00:36:22 He sued her and won two hundred and sixty thousand dollars, which I'm sure he never got to see but
00:36:30 That was
00:36:33 That was kind of brutal
00:36:35 That was and of course, you know, why you know why she?
00:36:39 She would have done this. Do you know why?
00:36:42 I mean, I don't doesn't say so. No, not just afraid
00:36:50 So yeah, so he wouldn't go somewhere else and I assume be successful and yeah
00:36:55 Maybe he was paying the bills or something like that, but she didn't want him to improve or get there, right?
00:37:01 Do you know one of the does do you know that there's a film that was made in 2016
00:37:08 It was ten hours and seven minutes and the film was called paint drying
00:37:12 the 2016 British feature film about paint on a wall drying
00:37:17 Ten hours and seven minutes the film was created by Charles line in order to force the British Board of Film
00:37:23 Classification to watch all ten hours to give the film an age rating classification
00:37:27 That is some seriously excellent trollery. I just wanted to mention that that's really something
00:37:35 Here's an exchange that was pretty funny this
00:37:37 Person says you telling me Julius Caesar who's been dead for well over 70 years made this salad and
00:37:44 The person somebody replied technically you aren't wrong with that number, but I just hate it. It's true. It is well over 70 years
00:37:51 Okay, this is a kind of heartwarming and listen I'm happy to do your questions but
00:37:58 Here we go in
00:38:00 1981 dr. Michael Shannon worked tirelessly through the night to successfully rescue a premature baby boy
00:38:06 30 years later in 2011. Dr. Shannon was trapped in his burning SUV following a collision with a semi-truck
00:38:12 Miraculously, he was rescued from the blazing vehicle by Chris trochee a paramedic with the Orange County Fire Authority
00:38:18 Remarkably, it was revealed that Chris trochee was the same premature baby. Dr. Shannon had delivered
00:38:23 three decades earlier
00:38:26 in that wild
00:38:29 And when the guy was born, he was 10 weeks premature weight just three pounds two ounces
00:38:33 It was given a 50/50 chance of survival
00:38:35 So you save a life and the life saves you back. I think that's actually quite quite beautiful
00:38:42 quite beautiful
00:38:45 All right, let's see here
00:38:49 Okay, so my mom can hear me say whatever under my breath but can't hear me scream
00:38:57 Yeah after calling my name ten times from the kitchen. That's fairly true
00:39:01 That's fairly true a
00:39:06 Study reveals that gratitude may buffer the negative physiological consequences of stress and overall improve cardiovascular outcomes
00:39:12 in a sample of 912 participants
00:39:16 It was observed that the greater the predisposition to appreciate what is good in the world the lower the likelihood of suffering an acute
00:39:22 myocardial infarction
00:39:24 Isn't that wild?
00:39:27 Gratitude is understood as a the predisposition to notice and appreciate what is good in the world and
00:39:32 Give me a
00:39:36 Give me your range my friends. What is your
00:39:45 Range
00:39:48 Minus 10 only see the negative plus 10 only see the positive. What is your
00:39:54 Range in general in general. I think I would be probably a plus six. I mean, whatever
00:40:01 I mean that there's no right answer to this all the minus tens might be perfectly accurate
00:40:05 Yes, we got a range minus ten six four zero three. I got a six
00:40:10 Solid five says Allen minus three plus four plus six plus eight
00:40:15 right
00:40:18 Three plus seven plus five plus four or five minus four and again, I mean obviously there's no right answer
00:40:24 I mean other than if you don't want your heart to explode in your chest like an alien giving birth from your esophagus
00:40:28 but
00:40:30 Having kids raises the number. Yeah. Well, it kind of has to right
00:40:33 Kind of has to
00:40:37 So I find that I'm certainly able to see more of the positive now. I'm not doing politics
00:40:43 If that's my that's my big blessing about not doing
00:40:47 Politics is come on. I'm blur is that
00:40:50 Do you have hit me with a wife you've got student loans
00:40:59 Do you have student loans?
00:41:02 Now one person yes
00:41:05 Yeah
00:41:08 Do you know that?
00:41:10 There was this woman I was I was watching her video and she says I started with 87
00:41:15 She says I started with $80,000. I've been paying for 10 years. I've paid
00:41:19 $120,000 and I still owe
00:41:22 $76,000. Let's just do that again, right? I
00:41:24 Started with $80,000. I've been paying for 10 years. I've paid a hundred and twenty thousand dollars and I still owe
00:41:31 $76,000
00:41:35 so she's ten years in and
00:41:37 She has suddenly realized that she's only paid four thousand dollars of an eighty thousand dollar loan, even though she's paid a hundred and twenty thousand dollars
00:41:45 Well
00:41:47 I think that there's no I think there's deferment but isn't there something I think this is in the States. Isn't there something where?
00:41:52 you can
00:41:54 not pay more than 10% of your
00:41:57 Income on your loans and then you're just paying a portion of the interest that's accumulating
00:42:02 Yeah, the degree obviously wasn't in math
00:42:06 Yeah
00:42:08 Compound interest is like per capita. It just seems to be a
00:42:12 Threshold that a lot of people can't
00:42:14 Can't get past right? It's just it's really really rough
00:42:18 Compound interest is either your greatest friend or your greatest enemy
00:42:25 At SWAF and I mean, I don't know I obviously can't give anybody financial advice, but I will say this
00:42:32 That whatever you can pay over and above your interest whatever you can pay down on the principal
00:42:42 No comp and interest but Bitcoin is compound interest
00:42:45 Bitcoin is the very definition of compound interest
00:42:48 Not because Bitcoin accumulates but because it accumulates relative to fiat in a manner similar to Bitcoin, right?
00:42:53 So yeah, whatever you can pay in my humble opinion. It's not advice
00:42:57 It's just what I've tried to do with every loan is
00:42:59 I'll pay the interest and then I'll I'll go hungry to pay the principal because whatever you could do the chip away at that principle
00:43:05 It's like fantastic. And here's a funny thing, right? I
00:43:09 Remember I got into deep mounds of dinosaur doo-doo probably about 15 years ago
00:43:14 By talking about what a scam college was
00:43:17 I mean I have a whole presentation on the scam of college and I had all these parents raging at me
00:43:23 Oh my you're convincing my kid not to go to college. He's gonna fail and oh, well parents raging at me
00:43:28 It's my entire business plan apparently, so
00:43:30 Yeah, did you hit me with it why if you got a degree and regretted it
00:43:36 Did you get a degree and regret it?
00:43:38 No a few yes, it's a lot of nose
00:43:47 You got my MBA never used it once yeah
00:43:53 7% equals double in a decade. Yeah or half your value 7% inflation is half your money gone in a decade, right?
00:44:00 You quit before the degree
00:44:02 Make almost $40 an hour cleaning houses Wow
00:44:06 Clean in windows. It's a great Van Morrison song. I used to listen to in college
00:44:10 Well, I of course I ended up as a computer programmer I never took a computer programming course and
00:44:20 I mean I took some philosophy in
00:44:24 University but the philosophy that I apply here is original and
00:44:31 Gosh I mean, I guess I use some
00:44:33 historiography some technical historical stuff from my history degree, but I
00:44:37 Did yeah, I did take some logic for sure
00:44:40 They hated me in theater school then we kind of parted ways pretty
00:44:46 Pretty quickly. Well, I have a sort of in my second year and all
00:44:51 Hard science degrees force you to learn to complete hard stuff. Yeah
00:44:55 Yeah, it's rough man
00:44:59 I mean, you know you just have to I mean, isn't this the basic question that every kid asks?
00:45:04 Which is they go to their parents and they say what do you use from your school? What do you use from your education?
00:45:11 What do you still use from what you studied for 12 years in school?
00:45:14 What do you
00:45:20 But boy I had a lot of fun in college
00:45:26 I'll tell you that I had a lot of fun in college and I do think see I think that
00:45:30 The voice training and the acting training that I took in
00:45:37 Theater school has helped me a lot with
00:45:41 My voice. I mean my voice obviously, um, you know, it's the old you got a perfect face for radio, right?
00:45:47 My voice is kind of my gig and having a pleasant voice that I don't strain that I have a lot of flexibility
00:45:55 We're than someone I think that the voice training helped quite a lot
00:45:58 quite a lot
00:46:01 Would you recommend going into debt to pay $150 an hour for therapy does that make you a better writer partner business owner
00:46:09 What I would say, I mean I can't give you any advice
00:46:14 But I found that I think I dropped about twenty thousand dollars on therapy
00:46:19 and
00:46:21 This is back when twenty thousand. I know I think and this was what about twenty five years ago
00:46:26 I dropped about twenty thousand dollars on therapy. I went for almost two years three hours a week and
00:46:30 I mean with some breaks
00:46:34 Certainly some of the best money I've ever spent. I mean some of the best money I've ever I've ever spent so
00:46:43 Don't be too hard on yourself Steph, you know Tom like us
00:46:49 The fact that that guy pulled girls is just astonishing to me
00:46:53 Just astonishing to me before therapists were pushing drugs. No, I don't think therapists can prescribe that's a psychiatrist thing
00:47:01 Somebody's cell Mitch says I spent several thousand on therapy over the course of about six months definitely worth it
00:47:13 How many therapists did you use? Well, I went to one therapist when we just didn't click at all
00:47:17 in fact
00:47:18 I'm pretty sure I saw him composing a grocery list while I was telling him about my childhood and
00:47:21 Then I went to another therapist and I think it was better for me to go to a female therapist because my issues had to
00:47:26 some degree to do with women and
00:47:28 I
00:47:30 stayed with her for the duration
00:47:32 I did try couples therapy once with a girlfriend. It was absolutely appallingly wretchedly terrible. I mean absolutely appallingly wretchedly terrible
00:47:44 Let's I'm good. I'd love to pay someone to agree with my girlfriend about everything. This sounds great. Oh, yeah, that was just terrible
00:47:52 Not even the pretense of objectivity. That's what couples prison
00:47:56 That's what's couples therapy in general should be called with some acceptance not even the pretense of objectivity
00:48:01 Does she know about your philosophy life online no idea I haven't talked to her since therapy ended
00:48:11 Couples therapy made my life worse and the divorce harder. Yeah
00:48:15 Somebody says oh, yeah when looking for a therapist I went to three or four sessions
00:48:23 He tells me about the show where families have murder victims forgive the murderers
00:48:26 It's like okay, you've correctly identified my family, but holy crap your advice is horrible. I
00:48:30 Went to a couple therapists at the request of a girlfriend once she said we're never going back after he told her to lighten up
00:48:39 Yeah, I yeah, I mean I'm sure there are good couples therapists out there but a
00:48:46 Lot of them are I mean, maybe this truth therapy is a whole lot. I mean, maybe I just got lucky
00:48:54 Maybe I just got lucky. All right
00:48:57 But yeah, I think college is pretty is really really wretched
00:49:03 So
00:49:05 Your home that was worth four hundred and fifty thousand to two point seven percent mortgage rates is now worth
00:49:15 252 thousand at eight percent mortgage rates and people forget about the effect that mortgage rates have on
00:49:21 The value of the house because to pay 1850 a month for your mortgage at
00:49:31 2.7. You can get a four hundred and fifty thousand dollar house at eight percent. You can get a two hundred and fifty thousand dollar
00:49:36 House so people who can afford to pay that much
00:49:38 It's gonna cut the value of your house almost in half. Just wanted to
00:49:42 mention that
00:49:45 Earth is the only planet not named after a god
00:49:50 At least until they replace is renamed earth Steph ball, that's really what they should be doing is renaming earth steph ball
00:49:59 Did you guy are you got hit me with the why if you are
00:50:04 Hit me with the why if you remember it step or
00:50:10 Hit me with the why if you remember the Concorde, do you remember the Concorde?
00:50:15 The specs are wild, of course, I never flew one out
00:50:20 It was like eleven thousand dollars to fly on the Concorde, but I was just curious
00:50:25 About the Concorde and I found out a little bit more about it. So the Concorde was this old
00:50:30 Airliner, it was an incredible looking plane. You should really look it up. It operated from 1976 to 2003
00:50:36 And I remember being so hungry to fly on the Concorde when I was a kid
00:50:40 It was it would fly from London to New York in three and a half hours
00:50:45 Which is about half the time of a normal airliner. It flew as high as how many miles I could this plane
00:50:52 It flew as high as how many miles I could this is too too amazing to me
00:50:56 Do you know how many miles up the Concorde would sometimes fly at?
00:51:00 This just blew my mind
00:51:03 No
00:51:06 15 no, I this seems too high
00:51:10 It got as high as 10,000 miles that can't be right. I mean that's space. Isn't it 10,000? I mean
00:51:18 10,000 miles high it flew around the earth in 30 hours it Mach speed was
00:51:23 2.04 so it was more than twice the speed of sound and it arrived in New York at an earlier time than it left London
00:51:29 which of course the bankers loved and
00:51:31 It had Delta wings and a nose tip that could point down so pilots could see the runway because it had to land at a specific
00:51:38 angle
00:51:39 There were only ever 14 Concordes put to work. They flew 50,000 total flights. So why?
00:51:44 Did it go?
00:51:46 Tits up. Well, I remember
00:51:48 at our wits end
00:51:51 He had the writer I had on the show was saying that people just weren't smart enough to maintain it
00:51:56 which I think is probably true, but
00:51:58 Because it was so thin it could only seat 109 people which I always think of BF
00:52:03 109 e the Messerschmitt plane from the Second World War could only sit a hundred and seat 109
00:52:08 so the tickets were very expensive so a Boeing 747 can do more than 800 passengers, but the
00:52:15 Concorde can only do 109 and
00:52:17 planes got so hot at the maximum height 110 degrees that they expanded 30 centimeters and
00:52:23 The sealant for the fuel hardened so it took 28 hours to turn around the plane a normal plane can be turned around in less than
00:52:29 two hours
00:52:30 The fuel needs were of course completely insane each flight required 28,000 liters just for 109 passengers maximum
00:52:37 commercial planes needed four times less fuel on a per passenger basis and
00:52:41 Of course most cities would many cities wouldn't allow the Concorde to fly because of how glass shatteringly long it is on takeoff which limited destinations
00:52:48 Now development of the Concorde is
00:52:52 10,000 meters not miles says cruising height was 60,000 feet
00:52:59 Yeah, okay. Well, that would be 20,000 meters
00:53:02 Copy 10,000 miles that it's way higher than the atmosphere, isn't it?
00:53:07 Yeah, that's got to be
00:53:10 Crazy, so development of the Concorde was paid for by the UK and French governments
00:53:14 The airlines were able to fly profitably for a number of years
00:53:18 But the economics were warped because the planes were given to them for free and the airlines didn't have to capitalize
00:53:23 Costs and of course the business business shuttered in 2003. There was a tragic crash in 2000 and of course an industry-wide slowdown
00:53:31 post 9/11
00:53:33 So it was beautiful. It was a beautiful beautiful plane and wouldn't it be have very cool to do that. But
00:53:40 yeah, it's like when I remember looking up the data behind
00:53:44 The development of nuclear power and the government's just gave the people immunity from liability and that's the only sort of reason it got
00:53:51 Got that way
00:53:54 All right
00:53:56 Questions comments issues. I mean I can keep social media a media in media medium meaning medium medium
00:54:04 The average 30-year mortgage interest rate is 8.5 percent that was as of October 30
00:54:11 30 if the average 30-year mortgage interest rate is 8.5 percent for an average home price in the US of four hundred and thirty thousand dollars
00:54:19 You would pay seven hundred and sixty thousand dollars in interest
00:54:24 When rates were two point five percent you could have paid you would have paid a hundred and eighty one thousand, right?
00:54:29 So you get this from two point five percent to eight point five percent you go from a hundred and eighty one thousand in interest
00:54:35 to seven hundred and sixty thousand in interest
00:54:38 Thus the difference in interest paid now versus two years ago is more than the price of the entire house
00:54:44 In that wild more than the price of the entire house
00:54:47 I will share with you
00:54:53 One of my favorite memes because it is just
00:54:58 Shockingly true and appropriate to this time of year
00:55:03 How many parts you think the truth about the French Revolution will be it's gonna be at least an eight-hour presentation
00:55:08 At least all right. I can't remember if I shared this before but this is one of my favorite means on the planet
00:55:14 It just combines everything perfectly
00:55:19 My kids after Halloween where are all our peanut butter cups me and it's that Leonardo DiCaprio laughing character, but totally bloated up
00:55:27 Just think that's too funny. It's kind of true. Let me introduce you to the dead tax the dead tax
00:55:35 While most puns make me feel numb math puns make me feel number number number
00:55:46 Me I have a headache web MD and it'll be your last do you ever look up physical symptoms on the web?
00:55:53 If the community would have pulled their tips and vote for particular albums for you to analyze would you be interested? Absolutely
00:55:59 Absolutely. Have you ever looked up things on the internet?
00:56:04 My ear is itchy. It's cancer
00:56:06 If web empty will get you killed
00:56:09 Here's something funny I read I still think my favorite thing that's ever happened to me on the internet
00:56:15 Is the time a guy said people change their minds when you show them facts and I said actually studies show
00:56:20 That's not true and linked to two studies and he said yeah. Well, I still think it works
00:56:24 That's delightful and very very very very very very very very true
00:56:30 All right
00:56:35 The Sun is large enough that how many Earth's could fit inside it the Sun
00:56:45 Is how big that how many Earth's would fit inside it if it was sort of squished
00:56:53 1.3 million Earth's if they were squished
00:56:58 960,000 if they retained their spherical shape, of course, I just did that math in my head
00:57:04 And one thing I'm good at is fear math because the math occurs within my sphere
00:57:11 More than 90% of the total Bitcoin supply is mined which represents 19 million Bitcoin 10 to 15 percent of which seem to be lost
00:57:17 It will take 119 years to complete the Bitcoin mining process and reach the 21 million coin cap
00:57:22 The Bitcoin ETF isn't priced in yet. The halving isn't priced in yet
00:57:28 The FASB changes aren't priced in yet. The Fed pivot isn't priced in yet quantitative easing isn't priced in yet
00:57:34 So anyway, has it got room? Yeah, maybe
00:57:39 For our lovely Canadian friends over 60% of all Canadian mortgages will come up for renewal in the next three years
00:57:44 Monthly mortgage payments will increase by 50% and thus interest rates go down significantly
00:57:50 RBC believes that credit losses at banks will rise massively
00:57:55 Did you also know October 30th Taiwan is going to make Bitcoin legal tender
00:58:02 legal tender
00:58:06 You
00:58:08 This is a
00:58:13 Girl and
00:58:16 a boy
00:58:18 She says we ain't splitting any bills sir. He says oh, so what did you have in mind ma'am?
00:58:23 She says you got this. Mr. Tech startup. I struggle to pay rent
00:58:27 And he says so what are you offering me if I were to pay she says yikes. I provide good company
00:58:33 He says so do I I've worked hard to get where I am in life shame on you for trying to take advantage
00:58:38 I suggest a value menu at Burger King
00:58:40 Nice
00:58:43 Nice
00:58:46 25% of Iceland's population went on strike all the women
00:58:50 Went on strike in Iceland
00:58:53 What do you think happened to the infrastructure in Iceland? What do you think happened to the general stuff that makes things work in?
00:59:00 Iceland when 25% of the entire workforce went on strike I
00:59:06 Assume it worked better because there's just fewer bureaucrats and all of that kind of stuff, right?
00:59:11 Divorce rate and oral contraceptive use track incredibly close together divorce rate and oral contraception use tracking credibly close together. I'm just
00:59:27 pointing it out
00:59:30 You
00:59:32 This woman posted a picture of herself half crying me when my ex and I broke up and he came into my house to
00:59:41 Say bye and thank you to my parents and my mom started crying and said I'm so sorry
00:59:45 You deserve so much better than her like she wasn't lying. But what the fuck mom? Why did you have to say that?
00:59:50 Yeah, how can you possibly not know that?
00:59:55 Picture of sad woman lying on a couch when I want a boyfriend at 19 to be married by 28 and have a kid by
01:00:00 30, but I'm about to be 33 next month and have no guy interested in me. Oh
01:00:04 Oh
01:00:07 God I can't tell you how much this velcro tears my heart into a thousand different pieces
01:00:12 First of all boyfriend at 19 married by 28. What on earth are you doing for nine years between 19 and 28? I
01:00:19 Don't know bizarre
01:00:25 Just bizarre
01:00:27 What's your what opinion about marriage will have you attacked and this woman said we had to identify my dad's body at the hospital
01:00:37 Hours later we arrived home and there were his dirty clothes on the floor next to the hamper. My mother began to sob
01:00:44 Through the hyperventilating she squeaked out I'd give anything
01:00:48 Isn't that that's a hell of a story, isn't it?
01:00:53 You
01:00:55 Isn't that a story
01:01:00 I I'm aware. I don't know if you guys have this I'm aware of
01:01:09 How little I want to regret
01:01:12 pettiness
01:01:14 You didn't know imagine dick, you know, I
01:01:18 Used to call my wife Heidi because I'd put something down and she'd tidy it tidy
01:01:22 Heidi has been here and she's hiding things right hidden things
01:01:24 And of course, you know, it's all in good fun and and I love her madly and my gosh
01:01:29 you get mad at people and then you think if they're gone just how much you'd give to have them back and
01:01:36 Not put their clothes in the right place, right?
01:01:39 Just please remember that please remember that
01:01:42 Love people now
01:01:48 Rates of divorce alcohol and drug use sickness absence and even suicide are higher in
01:01:53 psychiatrists than in the general public or other medical specialties. Oh
01:01:58 My gosh
01:02:02 the rates of divorce alcohol and drug use sickness absence and even suicide are higher in
01:02:07 psychiatrists than in the general public or other medical specialties and
01:02:10 Don't even start looking into the mental health of reporters
01:02:15 Don't even imagine the mental health of reporters
01:02:18 A recent paper invested investigated the old truism that science advances one funeral at a time. There's kind of something to it
01:02:31 Check out what happens to publication counts by different groups after a superstar scholar in their field passed away and it really does it really does
01:02:38 change
01:02:43 Meta analysis of people's happiness
01:02:45 In this meta analysis, we synthesize the available longitudinal longitudinal data on mean level change in three subjective well-being components
01:02:54 life satisfaction
01:02:56 positive affect and negative affect
01:02:58 Our results showed that life satisfaction decreased from age 9 to 16
01:03:04 Increased slightly until age 70 and then decreased again until age 96 the oldest
01:03:11 Data positive affect declined from age 9 for almost the entire time
01:03:15 until age 94
01:03:19 Negative affect showed small ups and downs between ages 9 and 22 after age 22 negative affect declined until age 60 after which again
01:03:27 It increased until age
01:03:29 87
01:03:31 Average changes in positive and negative effect affect was stronger than in life satisfaction in some
01:03:36 we found a favorable development trajectory of subjective well-being over large parts of life for life satisfaction and
01:03:42 Negative affect and decreases from childhood until late adult for positive effect
01:03:48 so basically
01:03:51 Positive feelings declined steadily from the age of 9 for the rest of your life on average 9
01:03:58 You peak at 9
01:04:01 You peak at 9
01:04:07 If that doesn't make you wonder what is going wrong with our world, I don't know what will oh
01:04:13 My gosh
01:04:19 Measured intelligence by student academic subfield I
01:04:25 Think we all know right? This is sort of measured intelligence at the top and the bottom or pH
01:04:35 pH wise at the top is physics and at the bottom is physical education
01:04:39 So the top is physics then history of science
01:04:43 classical language
01:04:46 astrophysics mathematics atomic physics solid-state physics
01:04:49 Biophysics classics planetary science
01:04:53 Physics other philosophy Oh coming in right near the top philosophy and then near the bottom
01:05:01 Business administration nursing communication nutrition elementary education
01:05:06 counseling psychology
01:05:09 community psychology
01:05:10 special education early childhood education social work criminal justice
01:05:14 Criminology and physical education. There's not any innings and outies differences in between those two is it
01:05:22 Isn't that something
01:05:28 And the less intelligent people we give the most control over our children
01:05:32 Isn't that wild
01:05:36 All right
01:05:40 0% surprise those who can do those who can't teach those who can't teach teach to you. We have heard that one before
01:05:44 Yeah, it's really sad
01:05:47 And you know
01:05:49 this is why people why universities in particular got mad at me for talking about IQ right because
01:05:54 If IQ is accepted as measure
01:05:56 You don't need universities like it was a direct competitor and way cheaper to just
01:05:59 Spend a couple of hundred bucks on an IQ test than hundred thousand dollars on a four-year degree, which is a proxy for IQ
01:06:04 Of course they're going to attack right I
01:06:09 Mean I can understand that I don't agree with it, but I can understand why they'd get mad at somebody talking about IQ
01:06:17 I mean, can you imagine if IQ was allowed to be a test for?
01:06:20 academic for for jobs
01:06:23 you wouldn't
01:06:25 You wouldn't need to waste all this time effort and money on
01:06:27 degrees, right
01:06:30 Inevitable, all right physics to understand matter philosophy to understand what matters
01:06:35 Yeah
01:06:40 All right hit me with the questions comments issues I
01:06:48 I
01:06:51 Didn't come in with a lot I guess other than my daughter
01:06:53 People are obsessed with pets it's insane
01:06:56 I knew it already, but it really struck me when I became a parent
01:06:59 I've had a pet for many years, but now I catch myself asking why is this animal in my home?
01:07:03 My husband my wife says that to my instincts have radically changed now cleaning up after pet seems bizarre
01:07:08 I'll maybe have a guard dog if I own a house with a backyard, but no more pets for me
01:07:11 Yeah
01:07:16 What's with the polyamory curse lately
01:07:18 But I just porn addicts acting out what they think are going to be found is in turn out to be hell on earth, right?
01:07:24 Sex again sex is a bonding mechanism so that husbands and wives stay together and protect children, right?
01:07:33 Not a personal play thing, right
01:07:44 Pets are
01:07:46 Two relationships as heroine is to happiness, right? It's a it's a form of
01:07:51 Fantasy play that you have a relationship and all you have is a biochemical pair bond, right?
01:07:57 What caused the lack of passing down basic life skills to your children, I'm not sure what you mean
01:08:14 Can you tell me a little bit more about that?
01:08:15 Hi Steph, if most people don't change their minds when presented with reason and evidence what gives you motivation for your work?
01:08:21 Well you glorious beautiful people, of course
01:08:24 The fact that I think better
01:08:26 socially
01:08:29 Yes, I think better with you
01:08:32 Together we are greater than the sum of our parts
01:08:35 No, I I think better socially when I get great comments and questions. I
01:08:40 Think better in conversation philosophy is not a guy in a room
01:08:44 Scratching away on a piece of parchment with a quill right philosophy is conversational. It's interactional philosophy is bouncing ideas back and forth. I am
01:08:53 far smarter and more insightful
01:08:55 over the course of call-in shows
01:08:58 Interviews these kinds of things so it helps me for sure be an infinitely better philosopher to talk to people
01:09:07 So that's helpful. That's helpful to the future. And of course some people change their minds based on reason and evidence
01:09:12 Yeah
01:09:13 everyone claims to in the same way everyone claims to care about the children some people do change their minds according to reason and evidence and
01:09:19 Those are the people I have in my life and those are the people I have conversations with so
01:09:22 People my age had to teach themselves how to cook clean keep a house basic life skills parenting, etc
01:09:34 Yeah, well, I mean that's because of the career woman, right go make money for your boss
01:09:38 Go drive down the wages of your husband and don't have anything
01:09:41 to offer your children
01:09:44 Can you give us a spicy a spicy peaceful parenting quote can I
01:09:51 Can I let me see
01:09:55 I'll have a quick look
01:09:59 Have a quick quick look I'll have a quick look
01:10:02 Sean Connery style Sean Connery. All right
01:10:06 Before I swallow my own esophagus. Let's see if I can
01:10:09 Find a nice a spice a quote
01:10:12 Pick up where you left off. Oh, no, that's not where I left off. Oh, well. Oh, well
01:10:27 If you could also send messages to Izzy asking her why she's not helping more and more in Baldur's Gate
01:10:31 And why she doesn't give me as much peanut butter because apparently I need protein. That would just be fantastic
01:10:35 All right
01:10:46 All right, we'll do a little little little spicy bit of the peaceful parenting book
01:10:52 Hit me with if you've ever had this, you know kind of conflict, right?
01:10:57 We say
01:11:04 Clean your room kids kids. You gotta clean your room. Why can't you keep your room clean? Oh
01:11:09 That one my stream there. There we go. Yes. Did you ever have me?
01:11:14 Have you ever had a
01:11:19 Did you ever have this
01:11:21 Did you ever have this your mom wants you to clean your room
01:11:25 You don't want to clean your room and you just conflict fight can't find anything here. It's like a big sign here
01:11:30 You gotta clean your room. You ever have that my mother all the time while the house was a disaster
01:11:35 Yeah, that's quite often the case, right?
01:11:37 All right
01:11:42 so one of the most common questions asked by parents who wish to take the peaceful approach is
01:11:48 How do I get my kids to clean their room?
01:11:51 It's a fine question and I for one. I'm not a big fan of a big mess. So what is the answer?
01:11:58 Peaceful parenting takes the following approach to all parent-child conflicts
01:12:04 Why is it important
01:12:07 Kind of an important question, don't you think why do you want your child's room to be clean a
01:12:17 Lot of times parents set up a rule and then demand that their children obey it and the stage is set for grueling
01:12:24 multi-year grinding battles and for what
01:12:28 Of course I understand that parents
01:12:32 Need to teach their children responsibility and self-care and tidiness and all other sorts of nice and wonderful things
01:12:38 That is exactly why it is so important to ask how essential is the rule
01:12:44 Let's take a typical example mom
01:12:47 Wants her son's room to be clean
01:12:51 initially mom goes in and cleans up her son's room as
01:12:55 Her son gets older. He wants privacy. And so he begins to make demands that his mother not enter his room
01:13:01 His mother agrees in principle, but says that he needs to keep his room clean
01:13:06 Otherwise she will have to go in and tidy everything up
01:13:09 Her son
01:13:12 Does not keep
01:13:14 his room very tidy his mother marches in tidies up and
01:13:19 Cleans and then he can't find anything and he feels
01:13:23 violated and then his mother again reiterates
01:13:26 Her demand that he keep his room clean
01:13:30 Otherwise she'll be forced to come in and tidy because he lives in a shared space and she doesn't want to think that there is
01:13:35 Food or other items that might attract bugs and mice somewhere in his room and it smells
01:13:38 And she can't do anything if she needs something and how on earth can someone live like that?
01:13:42 and so on
01:13:44 Neither person is
01:13:52 Getting what they want. Both people are escalating and hardening their positions and the stage is set for endless useless pointless
01:13:59 conflict
01:14:01 The mother feels that she is going to lose her position good sense and
01:14:06 Any authority if she gives up her demand for a clean room?
01:14:09 Her son fights back against what he perceives as maternal bullying and both parties very quickly find themselves utterly unable to give up their positions
01:14:17 or demands
01:14:19 Sound familiar it is a common pattern in a wide variety of scenarios
01:14:25 What is the solution
01:14:29 The mother wants a clean room the son doesn't want to be ordered around and also wants his privacy
01:14:37 Here is the most essential message
01:14:39 Don't lie to your children
01:14:43 In most of these cases the mother is lying to her son about why she wants a clean room
01:14:50 She wants him to clean his room
01:14:53 Because she feels anxious and unhappy if his room is messy
01:14:59 She wants him to clean his room
01:15:03 Because she likes exercising power over him under the pretense of keeping things in good order
01:15:08 She has unresolved conflicts or hostilities with her son and uses the clean room
01:15:15 Pretext as an excuse to act aggressively against him
01:15:20 She is afraid of others coming into the house and judging her by the messiness of her son's room
01:15:26 she is
01:15:28 Frustrated at her life in general feels powerless and out of control and so seeks to wield control over her son in order
01:15:35 to counteract her feelings of chaos and
01:15:38 submission
01:15:41 This list can go on and on but in
01:15:44 General it is not about the room or the tidiness or the privacy or the intrusion or anything like that
01:15:51 What is really going on
01:15:57 If the mother feels
01:15:59 anxious helpless frustrated and angry if her son's room is messy then
01:16:03 What does it mean to tell her son the truth?
01:16:09 Well
01:16:13 It means that she has to tell her son that his messy room makes her feel anxious
01:16:18 helpless frustrated and angry
01:16:24 But she doesn't do that right why not
01:16:29 Well for two main reasons
01:16:34 The first reason is that she prefers to be aggressive towards him rather than ask for a favor from a state of vulnerability
01:16:42 Asking someone for a favor does not allow you to bully him and that person can always say no which might reveal how little
01:16:51 They care about your negative
01:16:53 emotional states
01:16:55 The second reason is that it is an utterly indefensible position to ask your son to clean up his room because
01:17:06 You feel bad when he doesn't
01:17:08 Why
01:17:14 Because we are untrained in philosophy, that's why
01:17:21 Let us extract a simple principle from the mother's demand that the son clean his room to make her feel better. What do we get?
01:17:26 Well, we get the principle that we should change our behavior to make other people feel better
01:17:34 It's a universal principle remember
01:17:38 Since it is a universal principle. It doesn't just apply from the mother to the son. It also applies in reverse
01:17:44 If the mother says I
01:17:49 Really need you to keep your room clean because I feel really bad when you don't
01:17:52 well
01:17:54 The son can equally reply. I really need you to stop asking me to keep my room clean because I feel
01:18:00 Really bad when you do that
01:18:02 Do you see
01:18:06 You see how hard it is to ask someone to change his behavior in order to help you feel better
01:18:13 Now it's far easier at least in the short run to make up some moral nonsense about respecting the shared environment
01:18:19 Having some respect for yourself some sense of self-care honoring your mother doing the right thing
01:18:24 It's far easier to bring out the moral club and in a sense beat your child's will into groveling submission
01:18:30 Rather than asking for a favor that can easily be reversed
01:18:39 Children are incredibly good at sensing hypocrisy particularly in their parents
01:18:43 If the mother inflicts a moral narrative on her son about keeping his room tidy
01:18:49 Rather than be honest about her own emotional anxieties
01:18:53 Then her son will fight very hard to avoid submitting to her
01:18:58 She doesn't have any credibility because she's not being honest about her demand
01:19:07 If she demands that her son manage her emotions by obeying her commands
01:19:12 Then he will lose all respect for her
01:19:15 in
01:19:17 Particular because he is a male and that's not how males work at all
01:19:20 It will also be difficult when she commands her daughter
01:19:25 But her daughter will more likely mirror her mother's habits
01:19:28 In her own relationship with others thus reducing the demand that everyone else
01:19:34 change their behaviors in order to manage the daughter's and the mother's emotions
01:19:37 if
01:19:40 The son has to change his behavior to manage his mother's emotions
01:19:44 But she lies about that and claims some sort of moral high ground
01:19:48 Then he is setting himself up for a life of enslavement to women if he submits to his mother
01:19:56 In general women aren't very attracted to
01:20:03 doormats
01:20:05 enablers and submissive males
01:20:07 So his mother's demand that he subjugate himself to her emotional immaturity inflicts potentially irreversible harm
01:20:14 to his future romantic
01:20:17 prospects
01:20:19 Would you rather your son tidy his room or
01:20:24 Get married and have children. I'm not kidding about this
01:20:28 I'm sure there are countless mothers out there reading this and shaking their heads
01:20:33 But I promise you this is all true. And if you ask your sons
01:20:37 Honestly, they will agree with me. I'm sure
01:20:40 A boy who submits to his mother's emotional manipulations is no fit husband or father to be
01:20:48 A woman who absorbs and reproduces her mother's emotional manipulations is no fit wife or mother to be
01:20:57 If say
01:21:03 A teenage boy submits to his mother for no good reason or because she is lying which is to say the same thing
01:21:08 Then he's substantially low as the quality of woman he can attract in the future
01:21:13 he becomes
01:21:16 Ground-down submissive and appeaser and groveler
01:21:20 which is a real turn-off to strong independent women later on a
01:21:24 Mother who demands that her son submit to her emotional
01:21:31 This is why all your books take a while a
01:21:33 mother who demands that her son submits to her emotional and moral bullying is
01:21:39 Undermining and destroying his chances of attracting and keeping equality mate down the road
01:21:45 By fighting the mother
01:21:48 Do this last two sentences again a
01:21:54 Mother who demands that her son submit to her emotional and moral bullying is
01:21:58 Undermining and destroying his chances of attracting and keeping a quality mate down the road
01:22:04 By fighting his mother
01:22:08 The son is fighting for his own genetic survival
01:22:13 To put it another way
01:22:19 sons who gave up the ghost and submitted to their mothers either didn't
01:22:23 reproduce or
01:22:25 Reproduced with very dominant low quality women either of which is a disaster
01:22:32 So that's why the son fights so hard
01:22:36 What about the mother
01:22:39 Why does she?
01:22:41 Fight so hard to control the son
01:22:44 well
01:22:47 That one should be obvious. I'm sure
01:22:49 a
01:22:50 Woman who gets to middle age or later who still retains the habit of bullying others to appease her own negative emotions
01:22:58 Well that woman doesn't just confine what happens
01:23:02 to her own son
01:23:05 That happened that habit should be habit. Sorry. That's a homonym from the voice recognition. Let's try it again. We'll get there a
01:23:13 Woman who gets to middle age or later
01:23:18 Who still retains the habit of bullying others to appease her own negative emotions?
01:23:23 Well that woman doesn't just confine that habit to her own son now does she oh no
01:23:31 If she is still married then for sure she has a husband who has bowed down before her emotional manipulations and bullying
01:23:41 What happens to her relationship with her husband
01:23:47 If her son mounts a successful resistance and defense against her bullying
01:23:52 I would assume that
01:23:57 by the time a woman hits 40 or 50 her retained emotional habits are the foundation of
01:24:03 all of her relationships
01:24:05 With the exception possibly of her own parents, of course
01:24:09 In other words all
01:24:13 her relationships are based on the premise that other people are responsible for managing her own negative emotions and
01:24:19 Thus if she gets upset other people have failed her and can be aggressed against
01:24:25 for their betrayal of love and loyalty and responsibility and morality and so on
01:24:31 If she feels bad other people must be bad
01:24:39 If she feels bad
01:24:44 And asks for another person to make her feel better and that other person refuses. Oh
01:24:48 then that other person is mean and thoughtless and callous and just doesn't care about her and is a very bad and selfish person and
01:24:57 She has to punish that person in order to lead him away from the darkness and back towards the soft light of
01:25:03 eternal compliance to her emotional demands
01:25:09 If a mother is like this and
01:25:11 her son successfully resists her bullying
01:25:15 Well, that successful resistance might very well spread to her other children her husband who knows
01:25:21 Probably her friends are just like she is but what if her son's successful rebellion spreads to her friends husbands and children as well
01:25:31 Well
01:25:34 It ain't so much fun when the rabbit gets a gun is it
01:25:38 The
01:25:40 Son is desperate to avoid submitting especially to a woman for fear of ending up alone or in a terrible marriage
01:25:46 At the same time the mother is desperate for him to submit for fear that any successful rebellion against her dominance could spread to other people
01:25:54 in her life
01:25:55 Which would reveal her weakness and aggression?
01:25:58 Furthermore imagine if the son
01:26:06 Successfully resists the will of his mother
01:26:08 What happens then?
01:26:11 Well over time he ends up
01:26:15 Dating and marrying a very healthy assertive and moral woman and how was she react to his?
01:26:23 hypocritical and manipulative mother
01:26:26 Ouch
01:26:29 How does peaceful parenting resolve this a
01:26:35 Socrates said know thyself
01:26:38 As a mother it is your job to know deeply
01:26:43 authentically
01:26:46 Why you want your son to keep his room clean?
01:26:49 Is it even fair or just or right for you to make this demand?
01:26:54 Far too often we as parents assume that our demands are
01:27:01 Automatically legitimate and any resistance or rebellion by our children is illegitimate
01:27:05 Well, how do you know?
01:27:09 How do you know that your demand that your son keep his room clean is legitimate while his resistance to your demand is illegitimate
01:27:18 How do you know that you are in the right?
01:27:25 The question of what is good and noble and just and moral and right is very deep very
01:27:31 Complicated and has been struggled with by philosophers for thousands of years
01:27:35 We all treasure the idea that people accused of wrongdoing are innocent until proven guilty this is a foundational principle of justice
01:27:44 If your child disagrees with you assume that he or she is right and moral and just and good to do so
01:27:54 In this way you can ask him why he disagrees with you and really
01:27:58 Genuinely and deeply listen to his answer
01:28:03 Maybe he has a really good point
01:28:10 If you listen without
01:28:16 prejudice without
01:28:18 tension without anger or frustration well
01:28:22 What a gift that is to your child to anyone for that matter
01:28:28 Children should be listened to we all should be
01:28:33 Don't assume that you are in the right
01:28:42 Have the humility to accept that you might be wrong for two reasons
01:28:48 the first is that you might be wrong of course and
01:28:51 The second is that you want to model humility to your children
01:28:57 So that they can also question if they are in the right
01:29:02 Don't expect your children to be humble if all you do is model arrogance
01:29:10 Which brings me to
01:29:18 Have I modeled the behavior I want in my children so that's the start of the next chapter
01:29:23 So I thought that was fairly spicy
01:29:25 Let me just get back to your comment, sorry I was see here
01:29:35 Clothes need to be up for laundry food attracts bugs. What else needs to be cleaned males have lower standards on average
01:29:45 No, not at all true. Not at all true
01:29:48 Male males have higher standards for some things
01:29:51 Women have higher standards for some things
01:29:54 Sounds familiar for me needing to be a good speller. Yeah, I
01:29:59 Only remember being told to clean up the Legos
01:30:03 It does not come to mind that my parents ever told me to clean and yet I remember our childhood home being immaculate nearly all
01:30:08 The time I assume someone cleans then
01:30:10 So the mom should change her behavior to make your son feel better. Yeah, that's right
01:30:14 That would have been a great way to get hit. Yeah
01:30:16 Your free speech offends me so shut up, that's how we got here. Yeah. Yeah, this is totally me until I was 21
01:30:23 You mean on the receiving end or the providing end the peaceful parenting book has been phenomenal so far. I appreciate that. Thank you
01:30:29 You're describing my ex best friend's mom who got drunk at a toddler's birthday party and slapped me now
01:30:34 He's a drunk and has a fat wife who screams at their children
01:30:36 Bet you don't bet you don't bet you don't like your life
01:30:41 that's a
01:30:44 Listen without prejudice George Michaelson
01:30:46 You got two fat children that you've got to something children and a drunken wife or something like that
01:30:53 Describing my mother to a tea sadly. Yeah same even in preschool
01:30:58 I had to manage my mother's volatile emotions
01:31:00 One of the major things I had to work on in therapy in my 30s was that I'm not the keeper of other people's emotions
01:31:05 This shit sticks
01:31:07 This is my mom. My brother married a crazy woman divorced her and came out as gay Wow
01:31:11 That chapter was amazing I'm gonna send a donation later tonight. Here's your room but keep it the way I want. Yeah. Yeah
01:31:17 This is amazing can't wait for the rest of the peaceful parenting book
01:31:22 My pet thank you. My parents were near hoarders, but still complained about
01:31:26 Things being a pig sty took me a while to learn how to be tidy. It was my scarcity mindset. Yeah
01:31:33 Much more thoughtful than Peterson's clean your room is good enough. You're a good kid
01:31:39 You're a good kid. You're a good kid. You're a good kid. You're a good kid. You're a good kid
01:31:41 You're a good kid. You're a good kid. You're a good kid. You're a good kid. You're a good kid
01:31:45 Appreciate that
01:31:48 Christians Michelle says Christians continually cite the Bible about discipline and punishment
01:31:56 But I'm coming to the conclusion that these are opposite terms since discipline means to educate if the child fails to learn it is the educators
01:32:02 Fault at the very least the educator cannot objectively assess whether it is there or the child's failure
01:32:06 right
01:32:08 children learn
01:32:10 From seeing not hearing
01:32:13 The child's primary learning mechanism is eyes not ears in terms of behavior
01:32:21 You have to ask are you modeling the behavior that you want in your children now the mother might say well
01:32:28 I keep my space clear a clean, but that's not the issue, right?
01:32:31 Why do you want your child to keep her room clean
01:32:36 Why do you want your child to keep his room clean?
01:32:37 Are you modeling that behavior of being curious about other people's thoughts and feelings right? She's ordering him around
01:32:42 He's gonna fight back. Of course, he's gonna fight back God
01:32:45 This is something I wish moms understood my god. I mean
01:32:49 You know that children raised by single fathers end up much better off than children raised by single mothers
01:32:55 and I think one of the reasons is this fundamental inability for
01:32:58 Women to
01:33:02 Understand
01:33:06 That boys
01:33:07 Will half fight them to the death to not be bullied and controlled by a mother
01:33:11 Like it's it's a wild thing man
01:33:14 It's a wild thing
01:33:18 We're like cornered animals we fight to the death to not be bullied by a woman
01:33:24 Now it is of course in our genes if we're broken by a mother we can't win a quality wife
01:33:32 She's literally ending the quality any potential quality in her entire bloodline
01:33:37 is
01:33:39 the sons who failed to rebel against
01:33:42 dominating mothers particularly single mothers, right I
01:33:45 Mean am I wrong about this? I just I was a pretty mild-mannered kid
01:33:51 But man when I hit a teenager man, I just I came out swinging man. I was just
01:33:56 Like you do not push me around anymore
01:34:00 I'm yelling back. Um, I ended up hitting back to just try and get her to stop hitting me and it worked like fuck. No
01:34:07 Absolutely in no way shape
01:34:11 In no way shape or form am I just gonna submit and do what you want because you're upset like it's literally like
01:34:20 You know when I was in the Dominican Republic many years ago
01:34:25 Decades ago now I was snorkeling and swam into a shipwreck and then when I tried to come back out
01:34:31 The current was coming in so hard. It was really hard to get out of the hole
01:34:35 I kind of got sucked in and then I would have died in there because it was only snorkeling not scuba diving
01:34:39 I'd only had my lungfuls of air and I gouged the hell out of my arm
01:34:42 I had to scar for a long time
01:34:43 I gouged the hell out of my arm getting back out of that ship and back up to the air
01:34:46 This was like it was me fighting with my mother's dominance
01:34:49 Like oh my god, this is
01:34:55 Yeah, mom was a shouter until I got good at shouting
01:34:57 Nothing more I wanted them to move out. I remember yeah
01:35:03 Yeah, my brother and I packed our mom
01:35:06 Into a bus and sent her to the opposite side of the continent when I was 15
01:35:13 You use sarcasm to battle my mom because it was the only way to fight back against that control freak
01:35:23 She hated the sarcasm, but it felt so good to roast her
01:35:26 My brother can't rebel against our mother and he is childless smokes and plays video games non-stop
01:35:31 I mean, it's tragic if moms understood how horrible it was to break their children to force their children to bully their children to
01:35:39 Get their children. They seem to the dysfunctional moms, right?
01:35:42 they seem to want to just get their children to obey particularly their sons and
01:35:46 It's like be careful what you wish for honey
01:35:49 If you get that if you get your son to obey you he's done in the dating world
01:35:55 He's done in the dating world. Like he he's not going to be able to attract any kind of quality
01:36:02 Somebody says my mom argued everything with me so frustrating
01:36:13 I also punched stopped a punch at 11 or so and told her no more. I was finally bigger than her. Yeah
01:36:19 Somebody says I think I eventually lost that battle with my mother
01:36:22 I'm picking up marijuana as a habit for a few years recovering now good for you
01:36:25 It's
01:36:34 It's it's awful to break the spine of your son is to break the line of your family
01:36:47 And I I just I remember like really feeling like I I fought back as hard as
01:36:52 Someone who's holding you underwater
01:36:56 Like zero fucking way I was gonna be ground down by that
01:37:04 Did you know what I mean, I am NOT saying like maybe this didn't happen to you
01:37:14 Is there a cure for a broken son? Yeah get in touch with the anchor for sure. Don't act on it
01:37:19 but get in touch with it
01:37:21 Yeah, I I
01:37:24 completely understand the cornered rat phenomenon like
01:37:27 It doesn't feel like you're ever gonna win and society supports her not you and nobody
01:37:32 Notices the fight you're kind of alone in the fight
01:37:34 But it is a desperate desperate battle and I wrote about this in just poor with the character Lady Barbara and K
01:37:43 about
01:37:45 How debilitating it is to have a soul murdering?
01:37:50 maternal unit it's just
01:37:53 astonishing
01:37:56 How how hard you have to fight and how desperate the battle is how solitary it is and how unsupported you are
01:38:03 It's crazy
01:38:12 And I you felt like you could never win
01:38:14 Well, that's because you probably drew back from escalation
01:38:20 I I honestly I was like there's nothing I won't do to win
01:38:28 I mean there's I will not be ground like whatever I have to do whatever escalation I have to go to I will
01:38:37 Escalate to not be destroyed in this way like no absolutely not. I had to do it when I was a kid
01:38:43 I had to comply when I was a kid. I don't have to do it now
01:38:47 Does that make sense
01:38:52 Need that fighting spirit, it's not violence
01:38:58 It's not violence
01:39:05 But
01:39:07 It is if I'm able to get in touch with that anger will that lead to better partners if yes, can you explain
01:39:13 That probably would be a call-in show
01:39:18 I don't want to talk too much about people getting in touch with their anger because you should be in therapy or at least have
01:39:23 A close circle of friends who can help you with that kind of stuff. So
01:39:26 You
01:39:28 My mom gave me an option
01:39:38 Between not going out with friends or getting a spanking at 16 years of age
01:39:43 I chose spanking and I'm so happy I did even though it was breaking me at least I still escaped
01:39:47 Yeah, I remember when I was in grade 8
01:39:49 I was in a grade 13 writing class and at the end of the writing class
01:39:53 We went out for drinks at a place called the edge and I remember I mentioned this before I remember many years later
01:40:00 That the headline I still remember it to this day rock takes a blow as the edge closes doors
01:40:04 And it was my first time in a bar
01:40:07 Gosh grade 8. What was I 13? It was my first time in a bar
01:40:11 I don't know how I got into the bar, but I did I didn't I think I even just had a sprite or something
01:40:15 And I got home and my mother just slapped me across the face because I had worried her or whatever it is
01:40:22 And it it's like it's worth it. Hey, I got to go chat with girls at a bar at 13. It's totally worth it
01:40:29 Yeah, go go for it. Yeah, I'd do it again
01:40:33 I'd do it again
01:40:37 You know, my mother's like you didn't tell me where you were it's like hey, honey you flew off to Houston for two weeks
01:40:47 I didn't know when you were coming back. So don't talk to me about like and I was 12 or whatever, right?
01:40:52 So yeah, don't talk to me about didn't know where you were didn't know what was happening, right?
01:40:57 My mom once went away for a weekend that didn't come back for over a year
01:41:05 But no, it's really important that I keep her informed about me going to a bar
01:41:09 Say if I'd appreciate some guidance as to what to do with the anger. I feel so angry most of the time
01:41:15 I don't know how to express it
01:41:17 Do you know what you're angry at?
01:41:21 sympathies, of course and
01:41:23 But do you know what you're angry at or about
01:41:27 And I was terrified of making my parents angry felt like a moral crime to disobey
01:41:38 Sure, sure, and the moral crime aspect of it is very important, right?
01:41:43 I think I kind of sensed and this is nothing better or worse
01:41:46 My mother was just more obvious with this kind of stuff plus when she got institutionalized
01:41:49 She lost a fair amount of credibility with me. So it was easier for me
01:41:52 I'm not trying to say like I got it and you should have it was just easier for me because I mean when your
01:41:57 Mom gets thrown into a lunatic asylum for quite a long time
01:42:01 You kind of get that maybe things aren't aren't too well
01:42:04 But yeah, if they can get you to convince there's the moral crime then yeah, they're gonna then it's like hey man, you're not you
01:42:12 I'm not trying to control you
01:42:15 I'm just telling you what the moral and right and good thing to do is and all that right
01:42:18 I
01:42:20 Somebody says I remember my mom called the cops because I was gone for a few hours
01:42:24 Without telling her so she said to miss a state glad I escaped
01:42:28 Yeah, well
01:42:31 Does anybody know what percentage of policing is?
01:42:34 Single mothers calling the cops on their sons. I mean my mom did that single mothers calling the cops and their sons
01:42:42 Do you know how much policing is that is like bungee and fatherhood?
01:42:47 That's really really sad
01:42:49 It's really sad
01:42:51 It's really sad
01:42:53 Somebody says I'm sorry Michelle. I'm angry at my mother, especially after having a baby girl
01:42:56 I hate that I spent my formative years being broken down and then my teenager tweens left alone and then pity-partied about
01:43:03 How horrible of a person I was?
01:43:05 Right
01:43:08 Are you safe from your mother
01:43:12 Are you safe from your mother
01:43:16 And
01:43:18 The way that you get safe from dysfunctional people is either they get less dysfunctional or you get gone
01:43:27 And of course if you would like call in at free domain comm
01:43:35 Happy to help in any way that I can of course, of course
01:43:39 You guys are wonderful. And if there's anything I can do to help I would absolutely do that. I
01:43:45 Am gone, but she's a bit stalky. Oh, yeah, that's rough. That is very rough
01:43:49 That's very rough, yeah, so she's just kind of hovering around like a shark in the middle distance, right
01:43:57 Yeah, I mean I've heard the stories of this kind of stuff over the years and I mean this there's no easy particular answers
01:44:12 if you want to go the legal route, which is not even a particularly easy answer either, but
01:44:16 It's very tough. It was almost better to have her in sight. Hmm. Probably not
01:44:22 probably not I
01:44:25 Mean, you know, is it worth moving? Is it worth changing numbers? Is it worth I don't know. I mean, I don't know. I
01:44:30 Got a P.O. Box and assist my mom not knowing my physical address even though thousands of miles away is it someone? Yeah
01:44:38 You
01:44:40 Yeah, and of course now it's it's different right
01:44:50 So if I'd have been I don't know a 13 year old with a cell phone
01:44:52 My mom would have been calling me at that bar and yelling at me and I wouldn't have had any fun
01:44:56 So, I mean, I'm glad that I was able to go and have fun at that bar. I still I still remember there was one guy
01:45:01 He was not a good guy
01:45:02 I was talking about going to the prom and there was some 17 year old girl and he was like you should ask her and
01:45:07 I'm like I
01:45:08 Didn't and it was like dude don't tell the 13 year old to ask a 17 year old to his prom
01:45:13 Like what are you trying to do? What are you trying to do? I?
01:45:16 Saw a screen grab from Instagram earlier today that literally said I wish I could choose my baby daddy. Yeah
01:45:23 Not great that she knows people we know well
01:45:29 Depends how hard you want to cut man if
01:45:34 If I was trying to escape someone and there were people informing her of my location, I would escape them to just right
01:45:40 So there's no one
01:45:41 I mean if people betray your trust and they you're trying to hide from someone or escape someone and they tell that person where you
01:45:47 Are I mean, they'd be off my list. I can't tell you what to do, but they would be off my list
01:45:51 Wow, this topic has really brought up a lot of perspectives. Well, that's the peaceful parenting book as a whole
01:45:56 Has a whole yeah, I'm not I'm not in touch with anyone who knows both me and my mother like I'm not in touch with anyone
01:46:04 Who knows both me and my mother father's a little less complicated now that he's in the ground
01:46:08 But with regards to my mother, there's just no common point of contact like
01:46:11 No, thank you. No, thank you. I
01:46:14 Mean when you're controversial you need to keep your secrets, right?
01:46:18 Steph I decided to confront my abusive parents about my childhood
01:46:23 Is there any advice you can give me what to expect and what to do to prepare? Thank you
01:46:26 I'm sorry that this is the situation. I really am very sorry
01:46:33 First of all decide if it's worth it to fight decided safe if it's safe and decide what it is that you want out of
01:46:39 The interaction do you want an acknowledgement? Do you want to reveal how crazy they are? Do you want to do you want?
01:46:45 Restitution like what is it that you want out of the
01:46:49 Situation. I mean go in assuming it's safe go in be as honest as you can and just just don't back down
01:46:56 Don't back down until you're emotionally satisfied and if you can't think of what to say next, but you're not emotionally satisfied
01:47:02 Just say I don't know what to say next, but I'm not emotionally satisfied. Well, you should be we've apologized. No
01:47:09 I'll know when I'm emotionally satisfied and it's not there. Well, you're just withholding we've already apologized. What else can we do?
01:47:15 Well, that's for you to figure out but I'm not emotionally satisfied the fact that you're snarling at me after
01:47:20 Apologizing is not a good sign, right?
01:47:23 My mom used to hit me every day until I fought back my dad said I was bad and I should ask God for
01:47:30 forgiveness
01:47:32 I'm so sorry, man
01:47:34 I'm so sorry. Oh
01:47:36 I mean that's the desert you have to cross to get from the bad people to the good people
01:47:44 Really
01:47:57 My psychologist daughter killed herself via alcoholism now her black and white picture looks down on us
01:48:02 We haven't talked about it. I found out because I looked up her name and saw a news article
01:48:05 Psychologist daughter killed herself
01:48:13 So you are thinking about it ask your psychologist I would say if you're thinking about it and it's like is this a red flag
01:48:28 What happened?
01:48:31 You
01:48:33 Now she may say of course
01:48:40 I'm not gonna talk about my private life and then that I understand that I understand that but I
01:48:45 Would if I were in your shoes again, I can't tell you what to say. I were in your shoes
01:48:49 I'd say well you put your private life is staring down at us like you brought your daughter's picture into the therapy room
01:48:55 so
01:48:58 I
01:49:00 Mean you understand that my daughter is at the age
01:49:05 She's almost 15 right where she's supposed to be the least friendly towards her parents, right?
01:49:10 That's sort of snarky snippy negative and all of that. And I mean you listen to her
01:49:15 She's she's great fun, right?
01:49:16 As I said all the parenting is for the teenage years all the parenting is for the teenage years
01:49:20 It's because that's where things really count and matter
01:49:23 so
01:49:25 And again, I'm not trying to show her off. I mean, I just want her to be her authentic self, but
01:49:29 She's a great deal of fun. And of course, she is more than welcome to notice my shortcomings and critique me
01:49:36 Is he did blow up your spot about your coffee problem? Yeah. Well, that's fair
01:49:41 No again, I'm not I'm not trying to parade her out like oh look
01:49:44 He's a zoo, but you know, she we were making fun of this and I said, hey do you want to talk about it on?
01:49:48 The show she's like, yeah, that would be fun. And so we did right?
01:49:51 It wasn't like I kind of drag you out and show how cool you I mean, I think she is cool
01:49:55 But you know whatever right by their fruits shall you know them? Yo, yeah
01:49:59 In my opinion teens aren't unfriendly. Their parents are just antagonistic towards them
01:50:03 Your shows with Izzy are the only reason I ever changed my mind on having kids
01:50:09 Mmm, yeah, but it'd been great to have more but I guess I'll take round two with the grandkids as best I can
01:50:15 Why wouldn't you show her off? She's great and you're a great husband and parent. Well, I appreciate that but she's not there to prove a point
01:50:21 She's not there to validate
01:50:23 Peaceful parenting. She's you know, she's there to be herself and and all of that. So
01:50:27 And she's gonna have to be you know pretty tough in the world right she's gonna have to be pretty tough in the world
01:50:35 Because of the way she's raised and all that so
01:50:40 All right, any other last questions comments or or or
01:50:46 Donations if you are a donor
01:50:50 then
01:50:53 you get the
01:50:55 Just did part three of the French Revolution and it's really good stuff. It's really good
01:51:00 That's great
01:51:01 Getting back to the economics and politics that I used to do the truth about the French Revolution is now into its third hour
01:51:06 And it's gonna be a long presentation and that's why I'm doing it French Revolution stuff. It's great dive. Isn't it?
01:51:14 The French Revolution stuff is amazing says Dave, thank you very much. I got again on that. The second one is great
01:51:20 Yeah, there's a feat I created a feed also also also, of course, I have a feed
01:51:25 for
01:51:27 Just poor you can go to RSS comm slash podcast slash just poor one word just poor. I'll put it in here man
01:51:33 If you haven't heard that book
01:51:35 That it I don't even think I could write anything that good ever again like that was just fantastic
01:51:39 And and it's just one of my greatest one of the greatest things I've ever done. I absolutely love that book
01:51:47 You mentioned in your Matthew Perry presentation you're a sucker for autobiographies. Can you recommend some of your favorite autobiographies?
01:51:52 Let me think about that. Let me think about that. I'll do an autobiography on just about anything. I'm kind of partial
01:51:59 I did Jim Morrison I did
01:52:01 I'm doing Charles Dickens at the moment because I'm reading all of a twist with Izzy and
01:52:06 I did Led Zeppelin
01:52:09 I tried Elon Musk. I couldn't quite
01:52:13 Get into it. I did about two-thirds of the Steve Jobs thing and I got kind of bored with it
01:52:19 So, I mean tech stuff is interesting, but usually not that interesting to me but artists in particular I find really quite fascinating
01:52:28 Also really enjoyed the Matthew Perry stream listen to it almost three times now. Thank you. Thank you. I
01:52:34 Suggest Genghis Khan. Yeah. All right. I will make a note of that. Thank you
01:52:40 Genghis of course, I've watched that Star Trek movie. So now it's always Genghis Khan
01:52:43 All right
01:52:46 Is it good to defoo without confronting your parents or should you always at least inform them why you're leaving
01:52:51 Can't tell you that I can't tell you that I
01:52:55 Can't tell you that Oh
01:52:58 Jared you watch Kramer versus Kramer. Yeah, I watched that again. I paid to watch that three times when I was broke
01:53:07 Somebody says
01:53:09 My dad deteriorated rapidly from cancer several years ago and died a month after his granddaughter was born
01:53:15 I have a picture of him looking at her while holding her for the first time recently
01:53:19 I found out he took out the verbal abuse on my sister and called her a prostitute regularly when I left for the military
01:53:24 I think he let himself go because he realized
01:53:27 He once held his own daughter like this and ended up calling her such things he would rather die than live with facing it
01:53:37 My family doesn't know my husband and I have her son they live eight minutes away
01:53:40 I'm gonna cut them off in 2021 never heard from them. That's everything I need to know about my family
01:53:44 Yeah
01:53:48 Bets on Steph going carnival after reading about Genghis Khan, it's funny
01:53:57 The wetness concept is so strange to me. Yeah, the wetness stuff in history and particularly in France is pretty it's pretty wild
01:54:05 The lack of attachment I did this whole thing about the morning show like the lack of attachment is just really terrifying
01:54:10 I mean, have you had people in your life? They just vanish they just go one little conflict and it's like you never knew each other
01:54:16 It's not even not even that raging or hostile just gone done
01:54:19 The French what can you say? Yeah
01:54:26 French and he was feel you seem to be one in the same
01:54:29 One and the same did your dreams change when writing the peaceful parenting book?
01:54:34 Can you talk a little more about the emotional process and how you got through it was a form of therapy for you
01:54:38 I think it probably got the last veggies vestiges of my anger out about it, which you'll see in the book
01:54:44 I've decided not to despise it too much
01:54:46 Not despise it too much
01:54:49 Germans yeah Germans were rough with parents as well a lot of a lot of that coldness coming out
01:55:02 Can relate any last tips or donations you can tip on the app as well
01:55:06 Can relate to the person talking about issues with his parents after my parents apologized?
01:55:10 I brought it up again in a separate instance. They said to drop it
01:55:12 I still feel unsatisfied feel like I'm in the wrong for bringing up something. They apologized for
01:55:17 Yeah, there are some people who will not be emotionally satisfying and you won't be able to get emotional satisfaction from them
01:55:32 Emotional satisfaction
01:55:34 comes when people are honest with you
01:55:36 Emotional satisfaction closure completion whatever emotional satisfaction comes when you know the truth and there are you know?
01:55:41 So many people who will just lie and lie and lie lie like a rug
01:55:45 They're just lying lying lying and you'll never get satisfaction. They can't tell the truth
01:55:49 They have no interest in telling the truth. The truth is words are just things that they use to get what they want
01:55:59 Were there any cultures that approached peaceful parenting no
01:56:01 Well, I mean the British culture a little bit more I talked about that in
01:56:06 the presentation on John Locke versus Jacques Jean Jacques Rousseau and
01:56:10 So yeah, England was certainly certainly better
01:56:14 These shows have been getting a lot more views keep sharing and liking the message stream guys. Thank you so much
