We listen to podcasts so you don't have to. We want to remind our listeners, check us out on whoarethese.com, our Facebook page, on Twitter, who are these pod. We're always looking for new podcast suggestions. So leave us a comment, post a death threat, whatever the hell you want to do. Daniel will be reviewing a show called The Happy

Home School and how we do it is both Carl and I listen to the podcast separately we do not discuss it with each other beforehand and that's how it how it goes so how you doing this week Carl Kevin I'm doing great we've had a couple of weeks off I know people are probably pretty upset yeah they need their W ATP fill we're back yeah I've heard a collective sigh when we said we were coming back. I was like, oh god They got yeah, we're we're back. I've had a couple trips. I went to Rochester, New York Oh, yeah for for business and then to Vegas last week for pleasure and Yeah, my wallet my wallet

I ejaculated all over Las Vegas. That's nice. Yeah Lost a lot of money and here I am so So this week we got the happy home school and Before we before we talk about that I want to address the Pink elephant in the room are very happy go lucky new theme song. Yeah, you know, just heard there. So the Jingles department and I got together because Kevin requested, hey, why don't you guys write a song for us, you know, idiots? We're like, oh yeah, we can do that.

So we put together this new WATP theme song and again, hit us up, Twitter, Facebook, let us know what you think about the new intro. Good, bad, nugly. Yeah, probably going to be, you know, negative, because I'm sure that's just people feel about us, but we'll see, you know, what the fuck? We'll see. We'll see how that goes. That's all I wanted to say.

Let's talk about the happy homeschool. Yeah, so I don't even know how to sum this up. The summary of what this show is. It's hosted by Scott and Becky. Scott was homeschooled and Becky homeschooled her boys. So they're both homeschooled officials. Yeah, Scott's a little bit of a zealot. He's very anti-government.

He comes off that way anyway. I'm fully expecting him to be a member of some kind of militia or something. Oh yeah. What the fucking way this guy talks. Very short episode, only like 20 something minutes for the one that we had mentioned a couple weeks ago, we were gonna listen to. I don't know if you listen to any other ones,

besides one. I listen to a bunch of them. Okay, I just picked the one that we did. I picked that one apart. So I don't know if you wanna get into it here. If you have a. Yeah, I have a track that I'd love to play to start things off because when you think about the topic of homeschooling, Kevin and I both went to public schools,

probably most of our listeners haven't. There's a stigma with homeschooled people and I think the reason why a lot of us look at that as not the best option is summed up in track 25 what I call exactly. A lot of parents feel like, you know, how can I teach physics to my kids or how can I teach calculus to my kids? Exactly. I know for a fact that my parents could not teach me calculus or physics. You think so? I have to show them how to use Excel so I'm pretty sure they can't

No, mom, you filled fill down You don't have to keep tight. All right. No, deep type it. That's fine control V It's called paste what? Yeah, it doesn't make any sense Yeah That's called paste. What? Yeah, that's a big issue. Yeah. Um, that's so fucking true though. But I mean, it seems like all, and maybe this is just an over generalization, but a lot of homeschooled kids, excuse me, are religious. Is that a fair statement to say? Like it's usually Uber religious people who don't want their kids going to public school. I think that's a fair statement. I don't know if there's any statistics that I've researched recently, but it does seem

like these types of families don't agree with the outside world at all. It's all about their religion and their church. So they want to keep everything close to the best. Yeah. in their church. So they want to keep everything close to the best. Yeah, they don't, like the two hosts just do, they don't have any like real chemistry with each other. It's very forced. Like here's the introductions of them on the podcast here. I'm Scott and I was homeschooled. And I'm Becky and I loved homeschooling my boys. It's just really awkward like she's. So I want to play something out. Did you play that clip because that episode that you listened to, they produced these differently.

Oh, okay. But that one, you can tell that they have just one microphone that they're passing back and forth. It is lean-in. Well, it's not even leaning in which would make more sense because there's that pause when they switch talking. Play track for I call this. I think these assholes are heading the mic back and forth. And we help you put it in place. You know, and that is such a good point. I enhanced that a little bit, but you can tell that he's like shuffling the thing over here. Here you go. They didn't learn audio engineering in homeschool. It's funny. They should totally, they should share the mic like Stephen Tyler and Joe Perry like get back to back

that would be less awkward yeah so the Scott guy gets really it doesn't take him long into the show to really get on his fucking soap box. He wheels that fucker out and puts it down and it immediately goes after it. So I have a trek here called all, oh here we go. If you send your kids to public school, you're letting the government be the designer of your kid's room. And when I say room, I mean your kid's brain or their education. Yeah, so they make this analogy in this episode. And I think you put it this out a couple of weeks ago when we reviewed or teased it. The room, he says that homeschooling is like interior decoration.

So you have an empty room, which is your child's brain, and you're in charge of putting the furniture and decorating it the way you want. But if you let the government do it, they're going to do it the way they want to do it. The government is going to put a shitty IKEA furniture in your kids' room. Exactly. They're not going to have the right poster to hang up. It's not going to be what's or not from Charlie's Angels.

It's going to be a hang in there, baby. Right, it's an accident. The fucking government doesn't get it. Yeah. So, yeah, this guy just... I can't think of her name just now. Is it Cheryl Teagues? No, not Cheryl Teagues. Oh my god.

We're old enough to know this. Oh, fair faucet. Fair faucet. There we go. Yes. As far as a weird name, I think that's what was bothering me about it. Yeah, and faucet is just well. I mean, that's a plumbing fixture as we know. But What's the public schools I could tell? Yeah. Yeah, I took a whole class on plumbing fixtures. Kevin, can I can I take it from that spot where you just set it up because I have a clip it might overlap with what you just played a little bit but I call this over explaining the interior decorator analogy and then I have a follow-up play track too. Yeah, so you start with the empty room and then the client hires the designer. If you send your kids to public school, instead of having you as the parent be the designer of their room, you're letting the government be the designer of their room. You're letting the committee of the government decide what goes where in your child's education in their empty room. So I took that clip, Kevin, and I was like, I don't think he's getting across.

There's no production to the show. I don't think he's getting across really emphasizing the point he's trying to make. So I helped him out a little bit. I called this track. It's the exact same clip. I call this public schools are scary. Play track three.

Yeah, so you start with the empty room. And then the client hires the designer. If you Yeah, so you start with the empty room, and then the client hires the designer. If you send your kids to public school, instead of having you as the parent be the designer of their room, you're letting the government be the designer of their room. You're letting the committee of the government decide

what goes where in your child's education in their empty room. Join me together with the new public school. I mean that's basically what he thinks the government is the evil empire. Yes, just bituring Vader up there like they will learn math Yeah, I was just expecting like gun cocking noises in the background as you say in that shit It's just like he's putting on a fucking band a leader of bullets and Getting his Confederate flag ready. Yeah, there's a lot of that in there where it's just and his voice gets louder even during it in there where it's just and his voice gets louder even during it um

fire it up yeah I got one of called put down the gun I don't know if this is overlap but uh let's see instead of having you as the parent be the designer of their room oh I think you're letting the government be the designer of their room you're letting the committee see he gets like his it's like a crescendo of fucking voice he's like yes instead of being in the room, then you've got to fucking government, get in your shit. The answer to 1984 is 1776.

Yeah, it's gonna say turns into Alex Jones. Well, false flag operation. Yeah, so try not me. I don't like the female. Oh, back here. I'm here. I'm here. I'm here. I'm here. I'm here. I'm here. I'm here. I'm here. I'm here. I'm here. I'm here. I'm here. I'm here. I'm here. I'm here. I'm here. I'm here. I'm here. I'm here. I'm here. I'm here. I'm here. I'm here. I'm here. I'm here. I'm here. I'm here. I'm here. I'm here. I'm here. I'm here. I'm here. I'm here. I'm here. I'm here. I'm here. I'm here. I'm here. I'm here.

I'm here. I'm here. I'm here. I'm here. I'm here. I'm here. I'm here. I'm here. I'm here. I'm here. I'm here. I'm here. I'm here. I'm here. I'm here. I'm here. I'm here. I'm here. I'm here. I'm here.

I'm here. I'm here. I'm here. I'm here. I'm here. I'm here. I'm here. I'm here. I'm here. I'm here for your child's future, but you also want to have fun along the way and add some color and splash in there. Oh, again talking about decorating the room. She seems like the type of girl who would bring a jello to a potluck. Yeah, I mean. Well, I don't know if you've looked this girl up. If you've gone to Becky's homestead.com.

I did not. Oh, boy. She's something else, man. I'm a fan. I'm in. Oh, boy. Do I need to go there now and look? I would recommend it. I would recommend it. I tell you a lot about what we're what we're dealing with here. All right. Um, okay. Becky's homestead.org. Well, originally, then one of the shows they said, go to Becky's farm.tv. So I went there, but that was busted. But she does still have this site. I should mention that this show was around for like a year and a half between 2009 and 2010. And it's sad because our buddy Scott, he talks about checking him on on Twitter a lot.

He was on Twitter from October 2009. And his last tweet was November 5th of 2010. So he gave up on this pretty quickly. Home schoolers tend to do that, I guess. Yeah, yeah, they don't have the, you know, the fortitude to go through, they haven't been through the gauntlet. Right. I'm on Becky's homestead, okay.

I see I assume as Becky with a giant, hopefully lemonade not piss. Yep, okay, yeah, she looks about what I thought she would probably look like So all right, yeah, Becky is a pretty large dude. I'm not gonna lie to you. I mean I wouldn't fuck with them He kind of looks like a rowdy, rowdy piper. If you put a kill, you put a kill, Adam. I could imagine Becky and they live to put all the glasses. I mean, put on the glasses.

So here's just more hateable voice. You know, you don't want to do three or four subjects and then throw in some soccer and music lessons, dancing lessons, going to the library and that can really pile up if you have two or three kids. And it just becomes so overwhelming for you and your children. More isn't necessarily better speaking on a day-to-day basis. Is it like so, homeschool kids like you're you're supposed to do like sports and like gym and a lot of shit with them too? I have no idea. I have no idea, but since you ask that question, I have a really good clip. Track 8. I find this wildly confusing. I think another really important aspect of homeschooling

is this sounds really trivial, but it does make a difference. In the health of your children, it's exercise. In public school, your kids just do not get the physical activity and exercise. They need to be healthy children. What the hell are you talking about? Kevin, when I went to school, we had gym class. I played soccer, football, across, we played hockey. Have you ever seen a kid playing hockey by himself or football by himself? It's depressing. You'll throw the ball up in the air catch it and it starts crying. You've got a lot of physical activity. What's out she's talking about?

Home schoolers get more physical activity. What is she talking about? Yeah, I don't know where she's getting. You know, our time table start doing jump-adjacks. know what where she's getting you know. Time table start doing jump eject. I need you to do squat thrusts by your doing your times table, Tony. I don't understand this world because obviously we didn't grow up in it and stuff, but I just feel like this makes a kid into an introvert in a lot of ways, or totally the opposite direction. As soon as they get some social interaction with other kids, they're like,

thuh, thuh, thuh, thuh, thuh, thuh, thuh, thuh, thuh, thuh, thuh, thuh, thuh, thuh, thuh, thuh, thuh, thuh, thuh, thuh, thuh, thuh, thuh, thuh, thuh, thuh, thuh, thuh, thuh, thuh, thuh, thuh, thuh, thuh, thuh, thuh, thuh, thuh, thuh, thuh, thuh, thuh, thuh, thuh, thuh, thuh, thuh, thuh, thuh, thuh, thuh, thuh, thuh, thuh, thuh, thuh, thuh, thuh, thuh, thuh, thuh, thuh, thuh, thuh, thuh, thuh, thuh, thuh, thuh, thuh, thuh, thuh, thuh, thuh, thuh, thuh, thuh, thuh, thuh, thuh, thuh, thuh, thuh, thuh, thuh, thuh, thuh, thuh, thuh, thuh, thuh, thuh, thuh, thuh, thuh, thuh, thuh, thuh, thuh, thuh, thuh, thuh, thuh, thuh, thuh, thuh, thuh, thuh, thuh, thuh, thuh, thuh, thuh, thuh, thuh, thuh, thuh, thuh, thuh, thuh, thuh, thuh, thuh, thuh, thuh, thuh, thuh, thuh, like just going crazy, like they just go the opposite way. What do you say that? Because I listened to this other show that was only Scott, Becky was not it.

And he started promoting prostitution, which I think is another area where you go. Play track 24, listen to this. Because at the end of the day, it's just that simple. You can make or do something of value to other people and then exchange that for a paycheck. It's just that symbol. Yeah, is there any other way to interpret that? You can make or do things to other people and exchange it for a paycheck. Okay, we get it. He goes into that a lot on this one too, the

episode I listened to where he's like the whole reason of school Is to make something Not to spend money You make it things and then you exchange the things that you've made for money. That's how the world works I think this is him saying that you might ask that the next question might be how do I make money? How do I make money? You have to make something of value for people and Then people give you money for that thing of value

So I have some clips that I want to play that again It's I'm from this same show where he's talking about money Play track nine and I just want to tell you that I don't know that I agree with this at all. And ask them what is money for and see what they say. You know if you ask that question to you know 10 people I bet you all 10 will say money is for spending. So the he says if you 10 people, all 10 will tell you what he's spending. Typically, when you say if you ask 10 people, you'll say nine of them will say or eight of them will say, because you're trying to give a percentage.

What's the point of saying all 10 out of 10? You could say 5 out of 500 out of 100. And that is the dumbest thing I've ever heard. I don't agree. No one would say what's money for. Money is for spending. And then he goes out. All right, God.

No, I was just going to say it. And unless if he's saying that he's asking kids, like little kids, then maybe that's, you know, that's going to go on and explains that spending is not the main feature of money. Play track tab. Spending is a secondary thing, not the primary thing. It's a feature, it's not the primary feature,

it's a sub feature. Wait, spending money is a sub feature of money. I'm not gonna get this out of the way. No, but did you hear? Did you hear Becky in the background? Go, mm-hmm. Yeah, because they have to pass the mic back. Yeah, I think they should spend some money

on another microphone. They're gonna continue. Obviously, they don't think that money is for spending. They have one mic between the two of them. I don't understand this whole idea where he's like, people think money is for spending. It's not. Money is for making. No, you dummy. Money is so, we don't understand this whole idea where he's like, people think money is for spending. It's not, money is for making. No, you dummy.

Money is so, we don't have to figure out that we trade things with people who have something that we want. We have a common trade currency that we can get the things that we need that we're not necessarily good at producing ourselves. I don't understand what the hell this guy is talking about with this whole analogy.

What I'm trying to say, okay, Carl? I'm trying to say that if you go out and you kill 17 foxes and three wolves, you can take their pelts and you can trade those for school books, specifically textbooks. And did you know that 20 out of 20 kids will say that they never reached the end of their textbook? Oh, shit. Can I get my track on that? Yeah, I knew this was coming. So you probably haven't too. Yeah, but I love this because this guy can not stop himself from saying the word textbook. So of course, I put some markers in there so you can count how many times he says it. Track six, I call textbook mania. And this is something they don't talk about

too much in public school. They never finish the textbook. They never, ever get to the last page of the textbook, you know, on the last day of the school year, they are not on the last page of that textbook. They're fortunate if they get 70% through the textbook. Because the textbooks are overstuffed, have you ever gotten to the end of the textbook ever?

And you know, one thing we can do as home schoolers is get to the end of the textbook. We can make a bumper sticker that says that. I'm a home schooler and end of the textbook. We can make a bumper sticker that says that. I'm a homeschooler, and I finish the textbook. Kevin, that would be the world's worst bumper sticker. It's right next to, if I can kill Obama stickers, I'm in the back of your, of your Ford. That's what I said down here.

Can I tell you what the best bumper sicker is ever what? tennis is my racket I sure really got I saw that bumper sicker and a deltasatic About nine years ago and I haven't I haven't forgotten it. You haven't look back Every bumper sicker I see since I just judge against that well sounds good as tennis is my racket, but it's alright There's a there's the point in here where he talks about skills and Boy do they talk about skills? I shouldn't done a little dinger like you did here We're out of them and times he said skills. Let's see between the two of them. How many times they say it?

No, the thing we learn is skills. Skills so you can make things so you can make money, so you can make products, so you can make inventions, so you can make businesses. And also, you know, skills that benefit you at home, you have your home life, so you need skills in cooking, skills in making repairs around the house, skills in upkeep. I mean, that skills list is endless of what you can teach your children that will benefit them. Sent Emily Roth. Yeah, he's hanging out with me today.

Oh, all right. That's cool. I didn't know. Yeah, these guys over explain the easiest shit to understand. It goes. What I love about this show is that everything they say goes without saying. Yeah, when they talk about just the most ridiculous mundane topics, and then they over explain it as if the people listening to the show are as dumb as they are. Maybe they are. Actually, I think about it, that might actually make sense. Like this, uh, this saying, and you want skills so you can get stuff done. Yeah, we're not just learning a bunch of trivia. That's not the purpose of education. At one point, he's like, unless you're going to be on a game show.

Right. Yeah. Like, oh, I'm a game show player. It's like, okay. game show. I'm a game show player. It's like, okay. Zing. Boy Scott, you got my number. I'm sorry, I'm a track I hear called OMG. This guy is adult. If you listen to this, he actually reboots his brain halfway through the sentence. Play track seven. Public school is one size fits all. You know, if you ever tried to you know the thing about public school is it's one size fits all and it's made that way because they have such a wide diversity of people I love that he actually

decides to do do over it I start the sentence it goes nowhere is we start it all over again it tries it again it's nowhere, so he starts it all over again, it tries it again, it's hilarious. He does, he stops himself. He's good. Yeah, he stops himself too at the end when he's doing his promos, he fucks up the email, and he does it again, there's that. If you have any questions, we're here to answer them.

You can email them to help, no. You can email them to homeschool show at gmail.com You can also see what we're up to on Twitter The Twitter name is help homeschool. It's hglp H-o-m-e-s-c-h-o-l I didn't even have to spell it I didn't clip that but I almost did because I was thinking the same thing help homeschool school is the easiest thing to spell ever. I can't lose the audience here. They're like cool. Well he slowed down. What was it? We're just dumb idiots from public school. We don't know how to help Poem school how to spell that.

Let's Twitter read. What the hell is Twitter? Is that the thing with the bird or the blue fucking effort whatever? You know why I was listening to this I Wrong up my good friend his name is cover commander. Oh good. Yeah, and I asked cover commander You know what his thoughts about home schooling were and while I pre-recorded something That he that he sent to me, because I got his permission, because he lives in California now, and that you need to have that permission over the phone for the recording, right?

So let me play that for you real quick. Hello! Yes! Hey! Kevin, how you doing? I wanted to comment here about this God damn homeschooling podcast, because most of my people on my team of Cobra here are all homeschooled. Okay?

That's just a little known fact. I didn't know if you knew that. But I just wanted to say that homes hope school people are fucking stupid. Alright, the entirety of my co-brateen has been home school. There are complete idiots. They do not know how to kill G.I. Joe. They try every single week. They have fucking laser guns. And they cannot kill these goddamn bastards. I am so frustrated. But I just wanted to let you know that this is the way of the world

now. God damn Destro, this seems that he needs to teach these people from home, the cancer of the God damn public school, where they would maybe get laid and do some things that are encouraging and normal and social. No, we have to sit home and make peanut butter and jelly sandwiches for these bastards. He sends about a fucking uncrustables to a goddamn public school if he wanted to, but he doesn't. He makes sure they're home and they have to wear the same uniforms. It's ridiculous. I want to go to them. I want dreadnoughts. You know what? Those guys are public school. Zartan public school. All right. It's simple.

It's very, very simple. Anyway, I'll let you guys go. Hope have fun with the episode. All right. Well, that one went deep a little bit. He got to really know a lot about co-bruts I just to find that one yeah I was surprised that he uh that he called you know what I love about that setup is that this is the way I took it Carl I'm gonna riff I'm the cover for that you're a project don't interrupt me I would be telling you to record it so you just shut your fuck off well the funny part of a halfway through that I was like oh shit he can't talk because this is supposed to be Oh my god, I just let him go. Let's see. Oh shit It's a lot easier when I'm someone to play off of that's hilarious. Oh All right, well you know we've been offered two weeks

Next time say hey, I cover Commander Collins. I pre-recorded it, but he pauses a time so go ahead and see oh god it was a garbage fire that was hilarious hope it really does suck a killing GI Joe and it makes sense well I mean they've been trying forever you know and it's interesting it's kind of like you know scullet or is very similar you know scullet or has got a whole bunch of these weird fucking beasts and shit. They're all extremely cut. I think they all shop at GNC. They're very, very mussely, but they can never kill him.

He man is just too elusive for him. And he man is, I mean, come out. He's pretty built, but I mean, he does have a stupid fucking bowl cut, you know haircut and stuff and Yeah, but Kevin, it's hard to defeat someone when you can't bend your elbows They're always just a bit of a constant semi-vent nature. It's hard to get around or punch someone That is true. I never really got in their defense I never really thought about it that much and then he's got that, know he's got that oracle fucking wizard thing, you know, and he Anyway, it's it's a whole it's a whole thing the villains never seem to win It's hope Skeletor didn't leave you a voice milk and I just don't have time for that shit. Yeah, no, he didn't he didn't comment He sounds eerily too much like a gov recommenders, so right yeah

All right. So I listened to this one episode that was I think an older episode, the sound quality's garbage and they're talking about reading and teaching your kids how to read. And there's some interesting things going on here. Let's start with Track 11. It doesn't matter what age your kids are. You

should read to them. Another thing is you can always read to them. That's really important and it doesn't matter how old a child is. It doesn't have to be a two or three year old. You can read to an eight or even a 12-15 year old. That wrapped up pretty quick, didn't it? It's like, it doesn't mean two or three, it can be 15. Like, what? Could you imagine reading to a 15 year old? Like, all right, mom, shut the fuck up.

I'm playing video games. All right, sit down. Now, Katniss was going after her. I do not like green eggs in ham, Sam. I am. All right. I've got it. Read them, we with a young A

or YA fucking fiction In that divergent theories book number two We're gonna get into that right now alright Twilight is something that you should really listen to okay Yeah that's a... I like the noise in the background It sounds like they probably... yeah they probably have like you know 17 kids in a sweatshop You know making making like fucking blankets for horses or some shit That's life on the farm that's life on the farm when you're homeschooled

So I mentioned before Kevin that they talk about things that everybody knows and It's nothing groundbreaking. You'd be like oh, I learned something from listening to this. But here is one exception to that. Play Track 12. You know, obviously lots of books. You can buy books online and everything. So if you know that you can buy books online. Really?

God, I didn't realize that you could do that. You know, there's a, is it, it's a new thing? Oh, it's, that's interesting. I thought you had to go to a bookstore and then watch them handcraft the book for you. And then they bind it right there in front of you. And no, no, it hasn't been the case for a long time actually. Wow.

All right, well, I guess I need to purchase them on the internet. If. So we've established that the Scott guy is not the brightest bulb. This is a great example of that. And actually, I love that Becky is involved in this too because it proves that she's an idiot. Play track 13. I remember that when I was younger, I really liked maps. I remember that when I was younger I really liked maps and so like a big book of maps of the world I found that endlessly fascinating so you know maybe getting a big map book or a big um what's it called at list getting a big Atlas or Almanac I think that's what they call it. Oh my god. You're your home score interested in different subjects because a big book on maps is something that I found really interesting when I was younger. Oh, he had it. He had it. He's like his Atlas, but he was an Almanac. He's like, yeah, yeah, it's not an open act. It's an Atlas. You had it.

What do you call a big book of maps? So, fucking idiot. And what's great about that is that this episode's all about reading and teaching your kids to read. And he's like, I like books for maps. All right, sit down. We're going to read tonight. Here we go. Pop a new guinea. All right, sit down. We're gonna read tonight. Here we go. Pop a new Guinea Brazil. Oh, that's that's an interesting one, right? Not Madagascar. Oh River what's this river? River The V makes a buzz sound I like this one here at the bottom it says NW

SE I don't know what that means, but I think that's not safe for work. I think it's like, oh my god, this stuff. Let's not go there. So here's after he talks about how much he likes maps, Becky has a dynamite drop in play track 14. Also, when my kids were little at night at home school, I did get maps, big maps that open them up and tape them on the wall. I'd get smaller maps of the United States and all the different states there.

Whatever interesting thing you can have and tape it on on the wall and look the kids look at it Make sure it's you know taped down low enough so the child can stand in front of it. It seems to me like you're the expert mark These assholes are homeschooling children. She's she's explaining how she taped a man side the fucking wall But but make sure you use tape because. So, so child protective services. Yeah, I just wanted you to check out this Becky moment. We'll play a clip of our show. Make sure you use tape, all right?

Because if you use, I think if you try to use tax, it's a little too permanent. And when the government tries to overthrow our state, we want to be able to run in a quick and a hurry, all right? So take all the maps. Don't use your staple gun. We need to use those for the government. Nothing's gonna slow you down, all right? Just tape it up there and you can rip it down and we need to. All right, so Kevin, here's a track and I'm just kind of going along for a miss episode that I found fascinating about reading.

I call this one Get Ready for some knowledge. Play Track 15. Exactly. A child that starts reading when their seven is going to catch up or be equal to a child that started reading when they were three. It's not going to be a handicap at all. What? So he just states his effect that if you start reading at seven or three, it's the same thing. It doesn't matter. No research to support it she's like oh yeah of course we just start reading whenever you want oh god holy shit did you know that Eddie Van Helen didn't play guitar until he was 32 that is a true story it doesn't matter when he started dude yeah you could be you could be a virtual so at any age at

any age I'm gonna be an amazing film director. I've never directed a movie before. But I don't know why I can't start like in three years and just be Spielberg. I don't know what the good is. I mean, you know, according to if you're at a homeschool, you could. I mean, that's that could've worked out that way,

but we were public schools, so therefore we're the evil. They literally go into this whole diatribe about, if your kids aren't ready to start learning how to read, then don't worry about it Just wait, you know you can teach them when they're seven or eight. They literally say search easier kids how to read with their eight and these are the people giving advice to homeschools I know one of their showed it last very long. I love this track. This goes right after that It's track 16 on here and is explaining how if you don't want to teach your kids how to read There's other things you can do

So if you were if you didn't have a child if you didn't have a homeschool that was gonna not start reading until maybe seven What you'd want to do is focus on teaching on the alphabet the phonics sounds like what each letter the sound each letter makes and just read to them. Again he's explaining, teaching someone how to read. If you don't want to teach him how to read, teach him the alphabet now that fucking sounds the letters make. Yeah, well that's reading, it's only. This is always for overthrow the government and F is for fascist society. Yeah, that's something that's right there. Hey Carl. Hey, oh, hey, the cage. Hey, I just want to let you know that it's totally cool if you tape things up on your kids wall Would you take up there? Well for one I would tape up the depoteration of an upon us. Oh

Does he ever say that once in the movie because I was looking Oh Does he ever say that once in the movie because I was looking at I was trying to cliff him say the Declaration of Defense and it's like doesn't It's like I don't think he says it In your mind that's all he says in that movie that's all he says in any movie like you can watch the rock and he's like We need to get off this prison island and he's like gosh like, we need to get off this prison island. And he's like, gosh, we do. We need to get off of this island. I think we should get over there.

And he's like, well, if we get over there, we could do it by floating on the declaration of independence. Well, remember in leaving Las Vegas, he's like, I got to leave Las Vegas to find that declaration on the bed. Exactly. I mean, every movie has that. I mean, he's like, you know, that one movie is like the wicker man, he goes, uh, the bees, the bees, the bees are eating the declaration of an apprentice. Yeah, it's pretty much how it goes. Yeah, you notice that I'm not good at impressions. it's pretty much how it goes. Yeah, you notice that I'm not good at impressions. And you notice that? I was riveted just now. I thought I was watching the movie.

I had no idea. Oh boy. Yeah, so, uh, all right, here's a fun clip, Kevin. I call this what I'm specifically reading. Play track 17. All right. Is the country wisdom and no help walk in what I'm specifically reading in the book. What I'm specifically reading in the book. So she combines the words specifically and basically I think is what happened there. But specifically. And what I loved about it is as soon as she realized she said a word that doesn't exist, she sped up her speech to try to just get past it, like we'll just keep going. We're just gonna tumble through this one. It's fine.

Yeah, to God forbid, you should edit it out, you know. Right, right. No, she just wanted to do a shoulder roll and then hop up and do that. No one noticed. Oh, well, it's a hot mic, Becky. pass it back. We're gonna be staying making up words. This show was a pile of shit. I mean I don't think that we're we're giving it enough credit for being horrible. It's garbage. Yeah, there's, uh, I think even if I had kids, and I was going to stay home with those kids and teach them subjects such as, uh, how to say, specifically, and, uh, maps and things like that, even then I would be like, this, this is a horrible podcast and I will

not, uh, Listen anymore for this and and by the way Who who knows anything about? Getting a podcast wouldn't know that there's books available online There's this weird thing where you're talking to these Red Nacks who live on a farm somewhere in East Ginger fuck Pennsylvania Red Nacks who live on a farm somewhere in East Ginger Fuck, Pennsylvania. I don't know anything. Ginger fuck.

And stuff while they're downloading their podcasts and listening to each new episode as it comes out. It doesn't seem to make a ton of sense, especially considering this is eight years old now. Yeah. Oh boy. So here's a, there was like a three minute long show called, Why I Don't Like Math Teachers. Oh boy.

And this is, yeah, this is great. So when Scott does shows by himself, there's a bunch of ones where Becky's not involved. This is how he starts them off. Play track 18. This is the Happy Home School. My name is Victor Scott, and in this episode, I'm going to talk about the problem with math teachers.

Right, Victor Scott. Yeah, these name changes too. All of a sudden, these Victor Scott. I thought his name was Scott. Oh, okay. But one of them is like, by probably with math teachers, they say things that make my brain hurt.

I don't know what from math teachers. They say things that make my brain hurt. I'm from math teachers. They be talking about numbers and stuff. God. So here let's let's go on this ride for a minute. Here I have him setting up why he hates math teachers. Play track 19. I think part of the reason that young people are turned off by learning is math teachers

insistence on cramming loads of jargon down students throats. Oh, that's a poor choice of words coming from that. You should never put loads down students throats. You weren't nothing. We know that's for that's reserved for public school. That public school only affair. That is not happening at all school. Oh boy So

You know, he says you know, he shouldn't cram jargon down some of us throughout What is an example of jargon play track 20? Example which sounds more exciting and inviting multiplying and dividing rational expressions, or how algebra is used to make video games. All right, so those are two completely different things to say. He's not comparing the exact same sentence, just set a different way. You know what, Nick Cage doesn't like jargon either i've heard

oh really yeah uh... some examples of jargon for me would be constitution bill of rights they're all jargon that's not what jargon means is the bunch of jargon it's not even that's not what Jargon means. That's just a bunch of jargon. It's made up. That's not even close. All right.

Nick just gave it. He just gave you off. Maybe I'll be idiots. All right, fuck me then. Oh, well, the fuck do I know? My only good Nick Cage impression is when he reacts to someone that he doesn't even want to be listening to he just he always does this in every movie I like when he gets overly dramatic Like real real in your face. Yeah, I hope he's being attacked by bees. It's my favorite

Yeah, like I look when he's being attacked by bees. It's my favorite. Oh The wicker man is such a great movie because he punches a woman in the It's just hilarious because he's wearing like a bearer mask or something. I don't know if you've seen that movie, but Maybe we'd be controversial. This is why I take a stand. I don't want a bunch of women in the face. I don't, I don't either, but it's hilarious. It's hilarious to see Decade in a fucking bear face mask running and then just randomly pop a bunch, you know, woman in the face. Before he gets bees dumped on his head. Very, very random movie. I'll pull Johnny Boatty in fairs, I don't care. Like I said, I don't gotta believe in the bull rights.

Kevin, I feel bad. I know you're losing interest in the happy homeschool, and I still have tons of work going on. Okay, go for it. I mean, here's the deal. And people know this, who've listened to our show. Kevin gets to control the final editing. So if I go on too long, just play way too many clips that are just the same shit over and over again. And people know this who've listened to our show Kevin gets to control the final editing So if I go on too long just play way too many clips that are just the same shit over and over again in a log

It can I will take care of it and post so it'll be 45 minutes and it can't end You know it might be a fun exercise is to me to record a whole bunch of one word answers and have you make your own show? a whole bunch of one word answers. And have you make your own show? There's just be a reaction to Culver Commander and the K-Hers going, oh yeah, right? You just laughing and then feeding me lines so I can continue to do. Yeah.

And then what? And then musical guests, I just do, I go into Don Pardo, I do everything that I can do. I just look at my phone and there's seven new episodes at WATP I'm like what I don't remember doing any of this. I've been busy. I've been very busy. I Figured out how to do a convincing Nixon. I gotta work it in somehow Oh, actually one Yeah Getting back to jargon Oh, Act 21, yeah, getting back to jargon.

This is a fun analogy. This guy make, this guy talks about a lot of analogies that make zero sense. Here's another great example. Teaching jargon is like asking the other person to marry you on the first date. What, what, what? What?

It doesn't make any sense. I'm not going to justify that one with any further explanation. The next track, Track 22, you know he's talking about how just memorizing things is not helpful, that's what public schools do. This guy, if there's ever been someone who doesn't give a shit about the capital of Brazil, it's this guy. Play Track 22. You may be able to get an A on your history exam and memorize the capital of Brazil, but try showing your landlord your report card when he asks for the rent. It doesn't work. Knowing the capital of Brazil doesn't pay the bills. That could be a bumper sicker. Now that is a bumper sicker. It's quite the rhyme he has

in. Yes. Knowing the camp will Brazil doesn't pay the bills teacher. You fucking idiots. We don't need no education. We don't need no thought control. All right, here's a here's another doozy track 23. This is another analogy. And this, here's a here's another doozy track 23 This is another analogy and this one he's saying the public schools treat children like they're a museum Public school treats young people's minds like they're a museum

There you start with a bunch of empty rooms and all they care about is with a bunch of empty rooms and all they care about is filling up each room with a painting goes on this wall and this piece of furniture goes over here and then this artwork goes over in that corner and then everything has its place and once it's filled up it's ready to go and you never touch it again like a museum. Yeah, and this guy ever been to a museum. Oh my God. Do you think that you built a museum and then it never changed? You just walk away from it.

You've never heard of like a new exhibit at a museum. You fucking retired. The way museums work is you put a bunch of paintings in it. And then you never touch it again. And everyone abandoned it. Like now, it's how museums work at all. It's like public schools treat children just like a museum. There's a suggested donation of $5 to get in.

And then if you get, they get your e-mail address. It's non-stop even now that's for fun. You, they treat them just like a museum. That means you have to put headphones on and walk around and stare at things while listening to someone else's voice. Josh, you know about museums from the movie, not at the Museum 3. It's the only education I have. And I'm just curious. Ben Stiller is my teacher.

He's a very good teacher. Robin Williams is pretty much folding it at this point, but still good. But I do have to say that I do just adore the Night of the Museum movies. Because that's really what happens in a museum. I don't know if you knew that, but everything does come alive at night. That's why you don't go to museums. You avoid those. Do you avoid museums as if they were a public school? Just like a kid's brain. You avoid it. Get away from it when it comes alive. Just mute it. Push it down. Stuff it down. So it doesn't

rise up. So Kevin, there was one other episode I listened to, it was called Is Home Schooling Legal. Is the title of this episode. All right, so let's play Track 26. Is Home Schooling Legal? So the question we're gonna talk about today in this episode is, is home schooling legal? As far as as far as in different countries around the world, you'd have to look that up. We're in this podcast, we mostly focus on the United States, but you would have to consult your own local laws if you're in another country. Epic sale. It's homeschooling legal. I'm not sure. I don't know. Where do you live? I'm not sure. I don't know where do you live. I lost my map. All I know is my map. I put a map on the wall and I write whether it's legal or illegal.

So in this episode Kevin, this is another one with both Victor Scott now. I guess it's VSCAT and Becky and I have this clip it's called the World's Worst Advice, Play Track 28. But then those are the states that have strict regulations where you have to send a letter, you have to turn in test results, your curriculum has to be approved by the state, and then you may get home visits by state officials. So these states are the vast minority where they make you jump through a lot of hoops. And that's if they enforce all those to the T, a lot of times they don't, know just don't let that detour you

just go ahead and homeschool and you know everything you need is out there. So Becky's advice is, last listen they probably won't even enforce the law if you don't break it. You know if you're thinking about drinking and driving tonight it's only a problem if there's a roadblock usually there isn't a roadblock you can just get home don't worry about it. There's the worst advice in a verse. There's a lot of states that make you jump through hoops to have things done. Unless you're teaching your kids hoop jumping, which is the number one subject you should teach in homeschools hoop jumping. How to get through hoops, how to hula hoop, how to do lots of different things with hoops. You need skills for

hoops. If you're setting your hoop on fire, I recommend gasoline. It burns slow and hot. And you can own your own tiger. That is legal. And you can have him jump through the hoops. If you're looking to start a circus or just join one, perhaps, then hoop jumping is very important. All right, before we get too far off, I have now World's Worst Advice Part Two. One thing that I have found when I was younger and just in my life in general is, personally, myself, I do enjoy playing video games, but one piece of advice that I would give and that I do myself is only have

one video game console in your house. What? Kevin, he's explaining that having video games is very distracting. So if you're homeschooling and the TV has a video game console hooked up to it, that can be distracting So his advice to get around that just have

Xbox one you don't have to have the PlayStation 4 as well. What are we doing? A billion games for every console. How does that help in any way or or so many people that have multiple consoles I mean, I don't understand this at all. Only have one console. Now, I was poor, you know, home-school. Yeah, I think it's synonymous. And so we just had one video game console. And that's what I recommend everybody else to. And yes, it's all you need. When he says video game console, he means that they take out puppets and they reenact the game that they're playing. Grab that coin Biting biting. I'm playing the Grand Theft Auto. That means you've got to fuck me in the car. All right, the hooker scenario

But I'm gonna do a gamesy place the advice on this show is just garbage advice I don't understand my people start shows where they think they're smarter than other people when they're just the dumbest doles on the planet. It's so bizarre. Yeah. Well, I agree. And that's coming from two idiots that are reviewing podcasts. Who are the dumbest doles on the planet? These people suck.

So I do have a compilation I put together that shows the Scott Socks at Talking, which normally is not something I make fun of except for the fact that he hosts a podcast. And then and then sometimes when you're doing interior decoration designs the layout of the room the layout of the room is not doing too much into not biting off more than you can chew in your home school because Because, you know, what would it be like to, you know, if you ever tried to, you know, you can email them to help, no.

You can email them to homeschool show, like our mind and our young people's minds are like, laboratories. So, the parent or the guardian can really know the child and teach them really well. You know what classy did not skip was analogy class because you need to shut out of them. It's all analogies but he gets so fumbled up with his own words and he's kind of stuttering problem. Maybe that's why they gave up on this show. You think that's the reason? I hope so. I hope you realize he sucks.

Uh boy, I want to know a video games you plays. I'm really intrigued by that. Oh, he didn't get past Frogger. What you got to do, see the whole map is like a museum and you have to navigate the frog through all the old boring paintings that have been sitting there for 20 years. Oh, so yeah, this was another tough one to get through. It's a couple of weeks off, so it felt a little kind of coming into this. We didn't have another shitty one We're coming off of so No, it's been a little while. I feel like I'm out of the podcast universe Because I didn't listen to anything. I didn't enjoy for a couple of weeks straight. It was bizarre. That's true

I made sure to Check out S town. I don't know if you listen to S town at all. Are you a S town fan? I am a huge S town fan. I completely finished the entire thing in one day The entire whatever ten episodes or whatever it was Then Kevin, I have to tell you that you are totally fucking up my next week's teaser. Oh, no Go ahead and play our up my next week's teaser. Oh no. I'm going to play our teaser for next week. I'm in an area that just hasn't advanced for life of a better world. I don't have to eat a tombs here.

Sorry about that. Oh, it's an awful cherry flavored ones. That would be the first one to hop out. Is your stomach bothering you? Oh, I have const. I don't acid reflux. You don't hate it all my life. So what, can you tell me, why did you email me?

Well, you know, the original, the original reason which I gave you was just some of the things I had heard about. Some of the goings on down here. I honestly, I have to say I did not list the veck lip. I just literally pulled S town out of my S hole and uh yeah I did. Well that sound is like the biggest podcast right now. It's it is. It's number one of the charts. It comes from the craze of cereal in this American life hosted by Brian Reed. And listen, I don't personally care about a town in Alabama as

much as I care about like say Richard Simmons so for me I'm just like why is this so popular and apparently people are really into it so I thought it'd be fun for us to dissect it and maybe maybe we'll enjoy it I haven't listened to it all yet you obviously have yeah it's I think it's gonna be interesting to try to review because Because I've heard all of it. I kind of know Spoilers if you will of what happens and So it'll be it'll be interesting to try to get through this in a partial way or

In-person. No Partial way. I don't think there's anything that we're impartial about. That was fine. That was public school, right? or a... Imperson. No, I'm... Impersonally. I don't think there's anything that we're impartial about. That was fine. That was public school, do I? Just kind of... It's good to hear. Yes, you got to give me the benefit of the doubt.

So, um... Yeah, that should be very interesting. I actually really, really enjoyed the show. I mean, to be serious for a minute, it was very, very... I don't know. It's just something, I guess, about it in the way that it kind of... When you reach the end of the show and all the kind of highs and lows that it's brought you through, very, very interesting. Probably as gripping as serial was, which I loved that too when it...

The first season anyway, the second season was just kind of okay, but the whole ad-nond thing was really pretty captivating too. So this was, and I usually don't really gravitate to podcasts like this, but Estoun is a good listen. I know I'm saying that before we technically review it for next week, but I did enjoy it quite a bit. This isn't the kind of podcast that I normally listen to. It's not something that I care a lot about.

I have a lot of things that I like that I listen to. This style of podcast, the true crime, the investigative type of thing, doesn't hold my interest. So I know that they put it all out at once. All the episodes came out and it's hours and hours. If you're not interested in it after the first 30 minutes, what am I doing? I'm just gonna keep wasting my time and figure out if it's gonna be good. So I'm interested to listen to this and see

what it's like. Skeptical only because it's gotten so much praise. People are just besides themselves with how great it is. And a lot of times it becomes this thing where it's like, well, I better say it's great too, or I'll say, I look like an idiot. So, yeah, I'm interested to check it out for that reason. But maybe it's great. Maybe it's outstanding.

We'll see. It's just, it takes a lot of twists and turns, which is, it's not, it starts out, I guess, is one thing when you're starting to listen to it, like, what the fuck is this? And then it kind of morphs into a whole different story as it moves around. And it's not really, it isn't a murder mystery.

It isn't that, it starts out that way. And hopefully on that ruin it for anybody that hasn't listened to it yet, but it't it doesn't end it doesn't end in the same place that you think it would and it's not serial it's not like that it's the same kind of style I'm as far I mean that those guys are really good this American life and those guys that do those they're fucking top notch. I mean all the audio cues all that shit is Perfectly oh production's yeah, I mean it is and that's what makes it so compelling because it's just so I don't know. I just I get wrapped up into it and I do like true crime stuff

I mean I was then the type of guy who like wishes that he would have become a detective type of thing And I think it's really cool If you're not looking for Richard Simmons then what the fuck's the point? Well, I don't get it. One other story's around there who cares? I do need to check that one out. I have heard also some good things about that as well, but Yeah, so all right that this should be Interesting to try that will be next week's episode where we'll have the good cop bad cop episode of WATP where

I explain to Kevin, that is great as he thinks it is and he explains to me to fuck you. Yeah, that would be fun. Yeah, that would be fun. All right, well, I guess we're, are we good to go? You know, it's funny because when you were explaining what you liked about Ashtown, I was like, this is actually a good explanation of WATP. It takes a lot of twists and turns. You don't know where it's going to end up. You know, at one point, you know, like it's Nick Cage even in this show, I'm saying, he's a big factor in it.

Cooper can manage his leaving voicemails. It's all over the place. You think you're just going to listen to these assholes I'm a homeschooling. And then it turns into us talking about ass town. I mean, we've really taken people out of the journey today. I think we really have. I think we usually do. I think buckle up.

Every time you listen to WATB, you don't know what shitty impressions I'm going to be throwing at you. So please join us again next week. Because this might be the episode.. I mean, it's, uh... So please, join us again next week because this might be the episode, and I mean it this time, where we find out what's it for all. Who are these podcast, sleep well, every pony. Party can watch this.
