wellRED podcast - #79 - Don't Mess With Katie Crowder on Facebook!

Episode Date: August 15, 2018

Trae and his better half (Katie Crowder) sit down for a lovely discussion in their Burbank home while Drew watches a concert and The CHO gets fat at his house.  Katie takes on a stupid lady named Karen on Facebook!

And we thank them for sponsoring the show. Well, no, I'll just go ahead. I mean, look, I'm money dumb. Y'all know that. I've been money dumb ever, since ever, my whole life. And the modern world makes it even harder to not be money dumb, in my opinion, because you used to, you, like, had to write down everything you spent or you wouldn't know nothing. But now you got apps and stuff on your phone.

It's just like, you can just, it makes it easier to lose count of, well, your count, the count every month, how much you're spending. A lot of people don't even know how much they spend on a per month basis. I'm not going to lie, I can be one of those people. Like, let me ask you right now, skewers out, whatnot, sorry, well-read people, people across the skewniverse, I should say. Do you even know how many subscriptions that you actively pay for every month or every year? Do you even know?

Do you know how much you spend on takeout or delivery, getting a paid chauffeur for your chicken low mane? Because that's a thing that we do in this society. Do you know how much you spend on that? It's probably more than you think. But now there's an app designed to help you manage your money better, and it's called Rocket Money. Rocket Money is a personal finance app

that helps find and cancel your unwanted subscriptions, monitors your spending, and helps lower your bills so you can grow your savings. Rocket Money shows all your expenses in one place, including subscriptions you already forgot about. If you see a subscription, you don't want anymore, Rocket Money will help you cancel it. Their dashboard lays out your whole financial picture,

including the due dates for all your bills and the pay days. In a way that's easier for you to digest, you can even automatically create, custom budgets based on your past spending. Rocket Money's 5 million members have saved a total of $500 million in canceled subscription with members saving up to $740 a year when they use all of the apps. Premium features. I used Rocket Money and realized that I had apparently been paying for two different

language learning services that I just wasn't using. So I was probably like, I should know Spanish. I'll learn Spanish. and I've just been paying to learn Spanish without practicing any Spanish for, you know, pertinent two years now or something like that. Also, a fun one, I'd said it before, but I got an app,

lovely little app where you could, you know, put your friends' faces onto funny reaction gifts and stuff like that. So obviously I got it so I could put Corey's face on those two, those two like twins from the Tim Burton Alice in Wonderland movies. You know, those weren't a little like the Q-ball-looking twin fellas. Yeah. So that was money.

What was that a reply gift for? Just when I did something stupid. Something fat, I think, and stupid. Something both fat and stupid. But anyway, that was money well spent at first. But then I quit using it and was still paying for it and forgotten. If it wasn't for Rocket Money, I never would have even figured it out. So shout out to them.

They help. If you're money dumb like me, Rocket Money can help. So cancel your unwanted subscriptions and reach your financial goals faster with Rocket Money.

I say trying to be like me. I've said that every week.

And it's true that I'm drinking the broth, that I've been drinking broth. And I have been. But I've also been like fucking eating ice cream sandwiches and ham sandwiches. Any type of sandwich you can think of. I've just been pounding them. And I've been back to my old ways of eating like two balls of cereal at night. I don't hit. I've got to do something.

Jesus Christ. On the road. And let me say this. I don't want you to ever stop. I hope you never stop because our fans are the absolute best. But just when I think I'm doing good, somebody brings banana pudding to a show. And it's always great. Or we're in Boulder or Denver and they bring me weed gummies.

And I can't turn that down. I'm going to. I ate a weed gummy this morning, and I wasn't, like, I was going to get up and work out, which I ended up working out. Don't get me wrong, still did that. But before I worked out, I went to Waffle House, and I ate a bunch of waffles because I had a weed gummy, and it hit, and the waffles were hitting, and I'm fat, and I don't hit. What was that going on about?

Oh, yeah, anyways, put the Smokey Boys stuff in your sipping broth. if you're trying to be not so much of a fatty fat fuck fuck like me which again I still am I saw as bullshit in earlier and said on Twitter it's like I've I've literally gained 12 pounds since my since I got married but fortunately I was fat as fuck to begin with so it doesn't really matter but I have gained 12 pounds I don't know what it is I don't know if it's a if it's eating crackers and milk at midnight after drinking 14 beers I don't know what it could be I don't know if it's a eating spam and

rice and egg yolk in the morning or, you know, drinking an entire box of wine and sitting on my porch listening to the almond brothers and crying. I don't know what it could be. I have no idea. I hadn't figured it out yet. So go to Smokey Boys Growling.com, grab their meat rubs and send them a hello. Tell them, we said, hey, they actually, they've told me that that's happened a decent amount and that they love it.

So tell them what's up. Send them a message. Wish them luck. They're doing a bunch of sweet barbecue festivals this year. Also, go to our newest sponsor that I'm going to fuck up the name again. Vastwine.com. Go to Vastwine.com. V-A-S-T-E-W-I-N-E.com.

That is an app. You can go to Vast Wine, which is pronounced Vast Wine, even though it looks like Vast Wine. I'm sorry, I'm a dickhead, but that looks like what it is. Go to Vastwine.com and get the app. And what they do is, it's really, it's really freaking cool. You should do it. What they basically do is you get. You scan wine on this app, and they will basically, they will tell you, number one, if you're being screwed on the price.

If you should actually be paying that price for that particular wine, it will show you the rating of the wine, and it will show you what to pair the wine with so that you don't have to just be like, oh, no, looks like cheeses to me. That's what I think. It'll actually tell you, actually, you need to get the jalapeno cheeses for this particular box of wine. so go to fast wine.com V-A-S-T-E-W-I-N-E dot com grab the app and start drinking

start drinking a shit tonne so you already know where we're going to be did all my plugs tell you about my day here's something I did today I went to after I left Waffle House I went to where'd I go? Oh I went to Hibit Sports

I was going to look for myself a pair of running shorts and as I do I was leaving Hibbitt Sports and I got carried away with a joke that I thought of. So I was tooling away on my phone. And so I'm on my phone and I'm fucking around. And I get in my car and I'm sitting there and it's hot and I'm working on this. I'm like, ah, it's hot as shit. So I'm going to start my car.

So I go to start my car. I put the keys in. It won't turn over and I'm pissed. I'm like, oh my God, what the fuck? The car won't start. This is insane. I go to turn over again. I'm furious.

I'm like, what the fuck is going on? And then I look up and it's because, I was in a Kia Sorrento. And guess what? I don't drive a Kia Sorrento. So I was just in some fucking random person's car because of how Scatterbrained I am. And as you can tell by this intro portion of this podcast, I'm insanely Scattered Brain. I can't pronounce cities.

I can't say app names right. God damn it. I'm so sorry, guys. I'm so sorry to have botched this. But please enjoy the rest of the podcast, which is a lovely discussion between Katie Crowder and her husband. This guy, I don't know, Trey Crowder. It's Katie and her husband, Trey, at their place in Burbank, having a nice 35-minute conversation that I laugh my ass off through,

and I know you will too. So enjoy it and skew, and please pray that I can sleep, because I very much don't hit. Hello, everybody, and welcome back to another exciting edition of some bitch on Facebook featuring Katie Crowder. Katie tells us. I don't,

I didn't think we were going to talk about that. Yeah, we're going to talk about that. So tell us about this week's bitch on Facebook. Sh, Tray. What? It's so fired up. It's always, always some bitch on Facebook with Katie.

Well, I complain to you so that I don't complain on Facebook. Right. Because, You didn't, and this was publicly on your page. Everybody saw it so that you can't get mad me for saying it. Yeah, because you didn't say, and I quote, it's just a fucking question, Karen, less than two weeks ago.

Yeah, that happened. To some bitch on Facebook. But it wasn't like I said, fuck you, Karen. I was using it as a, as a, it was a sentence. It was a sentence enhancer. I stand by what I said. Okay, whatever. But anyway, this week, also, just for the record, listeners, if you're listening and you think that like, oh shit, did I miss? Did I miss a new segment?

No, we haven't done this for it. That was, this is actually the first installment of some bitch on Facebook. Yeah. Don't go back looking for another one. But there might be more in the future. You just tweeted about it. I did tweet about it. Okay, so anyway, so yesterday I got upset because someone I know posted about the NFL and about players still kneeling and how the Florida police unions were calling people to boycott or I don't know some bullshit. and so someone I know had shared that and I just scrolled past it because I just don't want to have to deal with other people's bullshit sometimes like I just didn't want to get into that Facebook fight with her. So I scrolled past it and later on in the day it popped back up into my news feed and several other people had commented and the comments kind of went back and forth.

and she um the original poster said that so she was replying to someone that is in a interracial marriage and she said well you should have known that that came with the territory and then said just like if I were to whip my child people would have their opinions. Hold on. I might be wrong, but I feel like you left out. I probably did because I feel like,

I mean, I told you what went down yesterday because I was pissed off about it. Okay. In summation, there was a post about the NFL and the players in the island and all that shit.

Everybody's been talking about it again lately. Uh-huh. Some lady on there said something about being an interracial marriage and how, people look at, she was talking about how it's right, racism is at the core of it or whatever. And then, and then to back that up, it was like, I'm in an interracial marriage and you should see. The way that people look at us sometimes or treat us or whatever.

When we're out in public. So, yeah. So racism. Because the one poster was trying to be like, it's not about racism. It's about respecting the troops or the flag or whatever. It's about being disrespectful. Yeah, that's what they kept saying is that, that the, that the protests are not about racism, that it's not.

And this lady was saying, racism is still very much a thing, and here's how I know. Yeah. Because I'm in an interracial relationship. And then that other lady said... We'll call her Karen. Just Karen's the best.

Just pick a random name. Just completely out of the ether. Karen. And, yeah, and she just... What pissed me off is that she... She was... The way that I read it, I mean, granted, you can read things the wrong way across, you know, Facebook.

But the way that I was reading it was that people have their opinions. Wait, say it again. Say what the lady said in response to racism's real. I'm in an iran racial relationship. Then the other lady said what? Well, you should have known that that came with the territory. For example. For example, if I were to.

whip my child, people would have their opinions, which, again, the way that I read it was that she was pretty much saying, you know, like, oh, well, some people will think that it's right or wrong to whip your child, just like they think that it's right or wrong to marry a black man. And if, if people think that that's wrong, then they are fucking racist. Like, it's not just a, an opinion. Like, like racism is not like, she was just saying like, oh, well, that's just their opinion.

Like, yeah, their opinion is racist. So, let's pull it back to this. And she's like, no, that's not what this is about at all. They do that all the time with like, it's just my personal beliefs and you should respect them. Like when it comes to, you know, hate and gay people because of the Bible or whatever. Well, that's just my opinion.

This is just my personal belief. And it's like, okay, so the fuck what? You know what I mean? Like, Hitler had a lot of strongly held personal beliefs. You know, and he believed them. He believed the fuck out of them. He didn't believe what he believed, any less than you believe the shit that you do. So who the fuck cares if it's, I mean, yeah, I've said that before.

I've said that one of my videos or something early on. like you can't demand that people respect your beliefs when your beliefs are like inherently disrespectful like that yeah I mean that's stupid but and I was saying this when you were telling me about it like that's one of those instances where that like because you kept saying like racism is not an opinion or whatever like that lady was like not technically incorrect no she wasn't but she was just like brushing it off like, oh, well, they'll have their opinions. And I mean, that's, that's the whole reason that these NFL players are kneeling so that people aren't just brushing it off and being like, oh, yeah, they can be racist. That's fine.

Like, that shit is not fine. No, of course not. But that's what I was saying. It was like, she was saying, you've got to be, you've got to know that that's going to happen if you're going to be an interracial. You got to be ready for that. You know, and like, I was saying when you first told me about this, like, I mean, that's true. But like, that doesn't make it okay. That don't make it any less shitty.

And it also doesn't mean that you should have to be okay with it or just accept it or any fucking thing like that, you know. But just saying like, yeah, well, you know, you got to know. that comes with the territory, like, that is accurate. But all the other shit that she's implying by it is some bullshit. Agreed. I also don't see what that has to do with, you know, if that other lady was like, no, racism is very much still a thing in America. And here's how I know, because I'm in an interracial relationship.

Oh, because all the Karen's keep saying that. I'm saying I don't understand how what Karen said is even a response to that. That doesn't even address that lady's point. Of the kneeling or whatever? No, that lady's point was racism is still real. Racism is still pervasive. Yes. That was her point.

Just saying in response to that, well, you got to expect that. Yeah, because she was trying to. that's not she's not even saying that racism isn't real oh no I think that she even said like oh yeah some people are going to be mean and they're so what she's trying to say is like Colin Kaepernick

and all of them should also just accept it like that's just part of the territory and they should deal with it I mean who the fuck knows I don't know but I got real fired up and I put in my two cents and then

and then you know of course people were like what she's not And I didn't call her racist. I didn't say that she was racist. I just said like, like, do you, like, if someone has the opinion that their marriage is wrong, do you not think that that person is racist?

I didn't say that Karen thought that. I said, like, whoever she's referring to saying that people are going to have their opinions. Right. I was like, if those people have that opinion, do you not think that they're racist? And then I went on and said, you know, like, that I didn't understand why, like, her original post was like, these players should be fired. They should not be able to play on any other NFL team ever again, like, because they're kneeling and disrespecting the military and the cops and blah, blah, and I'm like, they're, how can you? Yeah, let's fire all the black guys from the NFL, you know. Yeah, I don't know.

How is that going to work? It's so. But I mean, that was her original post. And I was, and the thing was is I was just like, mind your own fucking business. Like, if you don't have anything nice to say or anything to actually contribute, then just sit down and shut up. up. But she is contributing her opinion. That's what she's doing.

Yeah, it's shit though. My opinion is shit. But it's not a nice opinion and that's why I'm saying like... The Popeye's family feast. Why is everybody suddenly family with Popeyes hits the table? Feed all those cousins with six pieces of our boldly seasoned signature chicken.

Two famous chicken sandwiches, two large mouth-watering sides and four flaky biscuits. That's enough for cousin co-worker, cousin roommate, cousin neighbor, And all his billion cousin kids. You've got all the cousins coming. Even the ones who aren't really your cousins. All for $29.99.

Love that chicken from Popeye. Limited time to participate in U.S. restaurants. Prices may very additional terms apply. What do you think it is about that whole situation that actually, like, bothers them the most? What do you think, like, the number one thing is that they have such a fucking problem with it? They're racist. I don't know. I mean.

I mean, I don't. No, that's just it is I have no idea. That's what I'm getting at. Like, why do they get their paintings and such a wide? Of course they're all going to say that it's not. They call us snowflakes and say that, you know, like. Right, we're easily offended. Oh, we're easily offended and stuff.

But, dude, we're the most sensitive. We are offended that there are racist cops. And that was the other thing is that she was saying, oh, there's bad apples in every bunch. And I was like, I don't see you fucking saying anything about the cops. that are doing bad things. I don't say you saying anything about the bad apple cops at all. You know what Chris Rock said about bad apple cops

in his last special? It was so fucking great. He said, he's like, yeah, but some jobs, you can't have that. He was like, he was like, fucking Delta Airlines can't come out and say, most of our pilots like to land. He's like, it's just a few bad apples.

Yeah, no, I didn't remember that. I like to fly into the side of a mountain. It's like some jobs can't have that. Yeah. And I mean, I could not agree more. Agreed. Which I know is not what you were even saying. You just reminded me of it.

But, yeah. No, but I mean, no, that's true. And that's what I'm saying is like she's calling these NFL players kneeling during the national anthem bad apples, but she don't say shit about no bad apple cops. Right. Well, that's what I was saying. Of course, they're all going to say that it's not racism. And I'm pretty sure.

But like, do you think that ultimately it is, they think it's disrespectful because of the troops and the military and all that and all the shit they say? No, it's because it's black guys. Okay, that's my question is maybe we should ask them. Maybe we should be like, hey, Karen, what is your problem with this? Because here's my question. Is like, in both of those situations, what is the worst outcome of having a racist cop? And what is the worst outcome of an NFL player kneeling for the fucking national anthem?

Like, I don't think anybody's going to get hurt in one of those situations. I don't know. Russell Wilson, Neals, the Seahawks are all going to get killed. Sorry, I could not do it. But that's my question is like... Of course, that's true, yeah. Like, how do you compare those two things? How does she think that...

Well, and it also goes back in this point. It's been made a million times, but, like, you know, rewind before Kaepernick and go back a few years, back to the Ferguson riots, right? And what was their number one narrative for black people who were pissed off? Because that was over police brutality, obviously also. And their number one thing was, you can protest. Protesting is fine.

Peaceful protest is totally okay. This right here, though, this is not okay. That's all we're saying. That's all we're saying. It's not racist. We're just saying that this violent protest is not acceptable. Peaceful protest, this is America. It's all good. And then Colin Kaepernick took what could be, what could possibly be a more peaceful, docile protest, then literally just kneeling. That's all it is kneeling and they have lost their

fucking minds over it. Because of course I have, because they never met that first shit in the first place. It's just, it's black people, black men in particular, but black people having an opinion, you know? Like they're supposed to be complacent, they're supposed to be complacent and grateful in everything. I had another. And just step two and all this. And the fact that they're not,

that's what it is. All the other bullshit aside, that is what they're actually made about. I had another Facebook altercation a few weeks ago. Surely not. About literally the same thing with someone from your hometown. Not at all surprised by that.

I don't think I even told you about that. But anyway, pretty much, same shit went down. But the argument was that she said she did not know why they were protesting. She was like, I mean, I wish that I actually knew why they were protesting. And I was like, well, it sounds like you're not listening. This has been going on for two years.

If you don't know, you're not listening. She was like, don't you? She was like, don't you say that I'm not listening? And I was like, well, there's this thing called Google. And I'm pretty sure that I really pissed her off. And I was like, just fucking Google it. How could you have, well, fuck all that. Fuck finding out what they're protesting in that moment.

She didn't want to know. That's just it. She did not want to know. I'm saying, how can you come in with a strongly held opinion? And then immediately after that admit, I mean, I don't really know the details of what this is even about. Because they don't care. I know that, but that's my point. I would never in a million fucking years did that.

Try to argue something that you don't know. If I know that I'm truly, like, completely ignorant to it all, that's what I say. I'll say, I don't know enough about it to really comment, you know, but like, that's just the audacity of that. She said several times, like, oh, I don't even know what they're protesting. And I was like, well, then. They know all they need to know. Well, and I just have to remind myself sometimes, like, especially with. you know, who, who, the things that I see on Facebook and, you know, like from both of our

hometowns and stuff, a lot of people are in that mindset. And, um, I, like, you can't argue with stupid. That's what I always have to remind myself is like, and not that they're dumb in, in other aspects, but like, like, that girl saying, like, I don't even know what this is, what they're protesting. I don't even know, but I don't like it. And they need to be fired. Yeah. It just pisses me on. No, you can't. No, you can't argue with them.

That's like one of probably the most common questions I get in like interviews and stuff is like some version of do you think you're like changing these people's minds about this stuff or, you know, have you talked to people, you know, who you've convinced whose minds you've convinced whose minds you've changed? change like rednecks or whatever stereotypically. And I always have to be like, I mean, not really. You know, I'm like, there are, I have had a handful of those types of interactions. And I'll bring that up. But for the most part, no. No, because like you can't. Okay, but wait.

Let me. On any one given thing, somebody that's like that dug in, you can't change their mind by just talking to them about it. No. There could be like a larger cultural change. They can have some big watershed moment in their life, like finding out their kid is gay or something like that, I guess. And then slowly they change a lot of their opinions. But like in the moment arguing with somebody about something?

Yeah, you can't. That's zealous or whatever. You can't argue. You're never debating it, whatever, talking to them about it. You're not going to. well even you're not going to convince a zealot

no I agree with you there but on I will say this about Facebook because a friend of mine said that she was like I don't really

you know give my opinions on Facebook I don't I don't argue with people I don't post she was like but I creep those posts and I read the comments

and she was like and several times I have not necessarily changed her mind about things, but she said, you know, like reading posts made me think, or reading people's comments made me think about the other side or what other people thought or whatever. And I mean, I agree with her in that aspect. And so, like, this Karen yesterday, I really thought about what I was going to put because I wasn't trying to change hurt Karen's mind, I thought if anyone else reads this post that isn't as loud and obnoxious as

either one of us, then maybe, I don't know, maybe they'll just think about it in a different way. Well, just in the interest of switching things up a bit, although I do want to preface this by saying I'm not one of those people that's like, oh, there's crazy people on both sides or whatever, you know. I mean, I just talked about that in, like, the last video I did. So that's not what I'm doing here, but I've been wanting to tell you this story anyway. And it's like, it's indirectly relevant. This is a story of a Karen on the other side. Because absolutely, those people exist, you know, for sure.

I don't think that the two sides are equivalent in that regard. But, like, crazy lefties or whatever absolutely do exist. is. And I heard a story. And, you know, now that we've moved to California, it's like, you know, they're about. You know, it's more of a, we're more exposed to that version of it than we used to be. But, and so recently I heard this story from somebody in show business. I'm going to go into like any details at all.

somebody had been in show business for a long time telling me this story above a friend of hers who also worked in show business and had for years but and I think that guy was even like basically from L.A., but his family was from Kentucky and he was married to this other, you know, show business lady who was her and her family were from the West Coast. and they went to visit his family in Kentucky and they came back and his wife posted some pictures on Facebook of the trip

including pictures of their kids and were like, I don't know, I don't remember 10 or 11, something like that on a, with like rifles, like 22 rifles like grandpa teaching them how to shoot right? Like this guy's dad or whatever like showing him out of you, you know,

You know, how to shoot a rap, so it's just kids with goggles. All the safety equipment on and whatever and just like target shooting or whatever. And some pictures from in the house or in the garage or whatever where there was racks and buckheads mounted on the wall, right? Yeah. And gun racks and that type of shit. Just like in the background amongst a whole bunch of other pictures. and like that day or the next day him and his wife

this is so fucked up him and his wife got a message un-inviting their son from their son's birthday party because they didn't want their son hanging out with somebody that shot a gun

yes with like that type of they didn't they said said we were shocked to see the recent photo album, yada yada, and we thought about it a lot, and we decided that anybody who has that kind of like gun culture, you know, or whatever, or who's that comfortable with murdering animals and shooting guns and all this stuff, anyone with that kind of element in their family, we'd rather not have around our family. So we're going to have to rescind the invitation to.

these two kids ain't got shit to do with this. I mean, one of them, you know, went to his grandpa's house and shot a fucking gun, and now he can't go to his buddy's birthday party or whatever. Oh, my goodness. Like, how fucking shitty is that? And that, and that's all, it's just, I mean, I was told this story because, like, I was told this story because I'm from the South, and they were like, you know. How crazy is that?

Yeah, they were like, oh, okay. you'll appreciate this or whatever. I mean, I've already said that I wish that there were like more, and I said that we, like in school even or having gun safety courses. Because like I'll go ahead and say before I start letting Bishop and Benton go to friends' houses, we will have a gun safety talk with them. I mean, yeah, you almost have to nowadays. Just because, I mean, you never know.

You never know what people, you know, you know, that you don't know. And I say baby proof, but you know, like, you don't know if people keep their guns in safes or they don't. Or, I mean, out here, I don't know, gun laws are crazy out here. But, like, in Tennessee, I mean, everybody's got guns in Tennessee. Yeah, well, I mean, also, I mean, they fucking do drills at school now and shit. Like active shooters. I'm saying, like, kids don't know about guns. I know that.

That's not, I'm not saying that. I'm saying that's another. that's all the evidence you need of how ubiquitous guns are. So, like, yeah, kids should know how dangerous they are. And what, I mean, honestly, I think especially up to a certain age, the extent of gun safety should be, stay the fuck away from them. They will kill you. Treat them like hot stoves.

Yeah. I mean, up to a certain age. I don't think there's anything wrong with, like I said, Paul Paul teaching a kid how to properly and safely shoot a hunting rifle. There's nothing wrong with that. I feel like a lot of times when it was like

an accidental shooting with a gun, it's usually kids that have not been told anything about guns and they just like pick it up. I know they haven't been told it. I'm saying if one of those kids have been told if you point this end of the this thing at you yourself or anybody else or anything, very, very, very bad things will happen.

People will get hurt and every, you know, you will get hurt and stay. So these are for adults only, stay away from them. It's like the extent of what you need to teach a small child when it comes to gun safety. I'm saying they don't need to, like, I feel like you're saying, like, have a gun course. No, not a gun course. Just like... Gun safety.

Well, I'm saying, in my opinion, at a certain age, which is like little kids, gun safety basically amounts to what I just said. Teach them stay the fuck away from them. Just teach them like you teach them crossing the road. Yeah. You know, you're teaching them look both ways where you cross the road, whatever.

Mm-hmm. Go the fuck away if you see a gun. That's what I said. I know. Go and get an adult. Yes, immediately. You know, she's like, stranger danger or whatever.

Just don't do it. Just teach them just not to do it. And then if they still do it, I mean, kids still get abducted. Kids still do stupid shit. They'll probably still accidentally shoot somebody. But like, in terms of deterring it, I feel like that's enough.

I don't feel like you need, like, like that. You need for like young, teenagers and stuff. I was just about. to bring that up. I was just about to bring that up. I was just about to make the same argument. I was about to make the exact same argument, but from my side of it, it's all about the different ages. Yeah. Like, well, I'm not saying when they're little, little, I'm saying whenever they get a little bit older. You said before we'd let the boys go over to anybody else's house. Yeah, we're not letting them go to other people's houses.

Until they're what? Without us? Okay, this is off my conversation. Yeah, what? They can't go hang out at their friend's house until they're how old? I don't know. Yeah, okay, conversation for a later date. But that's what you said. That's what you started this with.

I mean, and I'm saying for... And here's the thing. If we were still in Tennessee, I'd be like, oh, they can go over to a friend's house because, like, I know people with... Because I... That's the people that... I'm friends with them. But, like, out here, I don't know any of the parents. Yeah, but the people, you know in Tennessee are the ones with the guns.

I know. I know. I know. Like, anyway. Like I said, we're veering into off-micophone territory here because like... Yeah, but also my friends... You said we're not going to let them go to anybody's house until this thing happened. So in my mind, that was little because, like, kids don't have to be very old to spend the night at a buddy's house or whatever.

And I'm saying, for a kid that young... I don't know. First time I ever stayed at Thompson's house, I was probably 10. And me and Thompson met in fourth grade. Before that, I stayed at Friends House at probably seven, eight. Did you? I mean, Bishop's six. I know.

Yeah. I'm going to have to ask my mama. I don't know. Okay. My point is, so when you said that, I ain't letting them stay over at a friend's house until this happens. In my mind, that was a seven or eight-year-old. Which is why this whole time I was like, all you need to teach them is don't fuck with them. Stay away from them.

They're dangerous. Don't. That's it. You don't need to teach a class. But if you're talking about teenagers or something, then yeah, all right, because it is similar to sex education. I don't know. I mean, especially if they live in the South, because, yeah, they're going to be around fucking guns. But I mean, I shot guns when I was five, six, when I was their age.

I'm okay. I'm also not saying there's anything wrong with teaching a kid, I don't know, five, with teaching a young kid, actual full, on gun safety. Yeah. Like a class. And how to, no, I'm saying,

there's nothing wrong with that, I don't think. As long as you actually teach them the right, right way about it. But if you don't want to do that, as a parent,

teach your five-year-old how to shoot a rifle, I'm saying, I don't think that's necessary to accomplish what you're saying needs to be accomplished. Would you just stay away from guns?

Which is so they know better than to accidentally shoot somebody with one. That's all I'm saying. If you don't put your kid through a hunter safety course at a young age, I have no real problem with that. That happens in slina all the time. Whatever. But if you don't want to, but you also want them to know better than accidentally shoot somebody with a gun,

there's a middle ground there. Oh yeah, I agree. I'm just saying I feel like it's something that... Well, then I don't know what you're arguing for, because I felt like you start out by asking, or by saying... No, I feel like, I feel like you, when you were telling the story, the person that you know that got unfriended to the birthday party because they had seen guns or whatever, I feel like, like, that type of person is, you know, telling their kids like, oh, guns are bad. Guns are bad. But other than that, aren't really telling them, like, a gun.

None will fuck you up if you touch it. Oh, surely they are. Surely they are. I feel like it's the same with the people on the right that are like, don't talk about sex. Stay away from sex. I mean, surely they are at least imparting to them that they are dangerous and will kill you or other people and not to fuck with them. I mean, that's kind of the same argument that they tell you about sex. When you're a teenager, you keep like shifting the age.

here. Yeah, because I mean, you don't really talk about that when they're kids. No. You talk about Stranger Danger, which is don't get in a fucking candy van. Okay, look at me. Don't do that. That's all you have to do with guns, too, in my opinion. That's pretty much what we tell the boys now.

Yeah. But when they get older and, yeah, sex, drugs. drugs, guns, whatever. If you're talking about teenagers, education is the best approach for fucking anything, in my opinion. So I'm all for that. But in my mind,

we've been talking about little kids this whole time, and I'm saying with little kids, I don't think it's necessary to be on, stay away from them. But anyway, uh, uh, yeah, good job.

I know I sound, I know my fucking boy. And it sucks as day after tomorrow, we're going back on the road. in Richmond, Virginia for a whole weekend. I hope this ain't a whole thing. I don't know what the hell is up with my voice, but anyway. Good job, honey. Yeah.

We'll see y'all next week on some bitch on Facebook. Shut up. It sounds like I'm calling you the bitch on Facebook, and I'm not. Karen. Yeah. Karen is the bitch on Facebook. Definitely going to use Karen's. I feel bad because my old boss is a Karen, and I love my old boss.

She was great. I have a couple of friends named Karen, but they, They said that they think that it's hilarious also. Okay. All right. Yeah, well, my old boss, Karen, if, you know, work gets back to you, just, we're cool in it. Nothing personal.

This is all the Katie-based thing. Yeah, sorry. The Karen stuff. Anyway, thanks for listening. We'll see y'all next time. Thank you all for listening to the well-read show. We'd love to stick around longer, but we got to go. Tune in next week if you got nothing to do.
