E2 Not Safe For Society opinion of a 13 year old
Ever wondered how a young teen views the rapidly changing world we live in? My daughter, Orion Roberts, isn't just any teen; she's a seasoned traveler with insights far beyond her years, thanks to our military lifestyle. Together, we're tearing down preconceived notions and offering you a front-row seat to the candid, sometimes humorous, always enlightening musings of a 13-year-old go-getter. From the impact of constant moves to her fervent love for animals and sports, Orion's take on growing up in these complex times is as refreshing as it is rare.
The pursuit of success isn't a straight line, it's a gritty climb, and we're dissecting every hold and hurdle along the way. In a world where complacency can be the norm, we're celebrating the relentless pursuit of personal growth. Listen as we delve into the experiences of students in gifted programs, the resilience required to excel, and the drive that fuels continuous self-improvement. Our chat isn't just about academic achievements; it's a broader conversation on how we, as a society, can push beyond our limits in sports, finances, and even self-care.
To top it off, we take a whirlwind tour through hopes for the future, the illusions of social media, and the latest buzz from the news cycle. Aspirations of prestigious universities are on the table, along with a lively discussion on wealth's role in happiness. Orion and I wrap things up with a light-hearted debate on favorite vacation spots, proving that whether it's the thrill of a water slide or the joys of family time, there's plenty to smile about. Join us for an episode that's as wholesome as it is thought-provoking, because here, every generation has a voice.
Alright, this is episode two of Not Safe for Society. Honestly, I don't even know if this is episode two. This is just kind of the play out I'm doing. So this, like I said on episode one, was an idea that I've been thinking around for a while, but I didn't really have a structure for it. So I want this to really, you know, tear up society in many ways and I want it to hit every angle for society. And I want to say something, like I named it Not Safe for Society, not because I don't believe society can handle it, but I believe the society, that the machine, that the government, that everybody wants you to live, it's not ready for this shit because it's going to be real.
Speaker 1:So, as of right now, on day two, don't really know where I'm going, but I'm thinking this is what's going to happen. One, I'm going to do two episodes personally of just me talking, sharing my thoughts. One will probably be an hour, one will be 30 minutes a week, and then I'm going to do a third episode a week, but that's going to have someone else. So I'm thinking I'm going to bring my wife, my 13 year old, my nine year old, and then I'll just have a random person every month and that's going to give us a really good just understanding of different perspectives, different age groups, because I know when I was 13 years old, I thought about shit way differently than I did. And the other thing is you also have the innocent mindset. You have, you know, the mindset of not really being too corrupted yet or not really understanding.
Speaker 1:However, at 13, it's going to be interesting hearing from my nine year old, my 13 year old. I think at 13 you understand a lot more of what's going on and I think you're starting to get to the point where you can finally put some pieces together and you can get an idea of maybe some reality without being too beat up by the mainstream media or the mainstream society. So first person I want to introduce today is Orion Roberts. This is my 13 year old daughter child. Hello, yeah, this is going to be here like second podcast, so we're going to work on, you know, back and forth communication. Orion, do you know how to conversate?
Speaker 2:Yes.
Speaker 1:Are you ready to have a conversation?
Speaker 2:Most definitely.
Speaker 1:Okay, Orion, introduce yourself.
Speaker 2:I'm Orion Roberts. I'm 13 years old.
Speaker 1:So one thing, orion, that we need to talk about that I should have talked to you before we went live is we'll talk about a little bit about your life and what you think of this and that, but make sure you don't mention, like, exactly where you live, what school you go to, like any sport leagues you play for. Like, you can mention the sports you play, but don't mention the league.
Speaker 2:Okay, yeah, of course.
Speaker 1:You knew that. Yeah, you're ready for that. Yeah, that's weird because I just published her address. I'm just getting this fucked up, anyways. So, orion, the first thing I want to talk to you about is we're going to try that intro again. Tell me what you think about yourself. Tell me, like if I were to say Orion introduced me, who is Orion? Like, what does Orion think she is? Who does Orion think she is?
Speaker 2:For being 13 years old. In today's society, I am definitely one of the higher, the faster growing kids, because everyone's stuck on, like social media and everything. They're stuck on their phones. They don't want to do anything in life. They just don't try in general, I'm always trying, I'm always doing my best, I'm always doing anything I can to help and I would definitely say I'm a very smart person. I oh bad.
Speaker 1:Just keep talking, you're okay. You don't have to think about what you're saying. There's no wrong or right answer.
Speaker 2:You're doing really well. I'm a very athletic person. I enjoy sports, I enjoy to clean, I like to sort things in my room. It makes me happy, and then I love animals. I do swim team. I have great times and yeah, that's me.
Speaker 1:Okay, well, I want to ask you a lot about this. I want to talk a little bit about this because you've had kind of I wouldn't say unique life, because a lot of children have gone through the same things you have and you know way worse things. So this isn't no pity fucking story or anything like that, but like, where were you born? Like what? I mean, you could literally tell the city, state, hospital and fucking or address where you were born if you really wanted to. It doesn't matter when were you born.
Speaker 2:I was born over in Germany. I don't quite remember if it was Bamberg or Hamburg. There's basically the same thing. Okay, bamberg.
Speaker 1:Okay, and then, after living in Bamberg, where do we move to next?
Speaker 2:We moved to Oregon, I think, nope, alaska.
Speaker 1:Yes, how many houses do we live in Alaska? Do you remember?
Speaker 2:Two, nope Three.
Speaker 1:Three, yep, yes, something like that. So, yeah, I mean, even in Germany, technically you lived in, I think, two houses, right, yeah, because you were born in the house off base and we moved on base for a short time. So two. So by the time you're three or four, you've already well, four or five by the time you're five or six, something like that. You've already lived in five different locations or five different homes, two different. You know cities or locations, and then I get out of the military and where do we move back to?
Speaker 2:We move back to Oregon with our family and we lived there for about three to four years. Yeah, yeah, we lived in Oregon for three to four years.
Speaker 1:How many different houses did we live in in Oregon?
Speaker 2:We left when I was 10 or 11, so we had around four to five houses there. The longest we've lived in a house was a year, so I count the houses by my age minus one. So we're on our like 11th or 12th house by now.
Speaker 1:I think we might only be on 10, but pretty damn close. So what do you think of having to move every year? Now, I mean often you even move school districts.
Speaker 2:Right, you've gone to pretty much different schools almost every time. I've gone to eight schools by now.
Speaker 1:Like eight schools in year one grade.
Speaker 2:I'm in seventh.
Speaker 1:So how does that work for you?
Speaker 2:I get to, like, experience other schools. I get to find out how other places are taught. I get different perspectives of teachers, school district principals, how they want to teach. Change is good. I enjoy going to different like houses and schools. I can meet new people, talk to other kids, find out their ways of life and how other schools run and compare them to each other. Okay cool.
Speaker 1:How long ago or how soon before we did this podcast, did you realize we were gonna do a podcast? How long ago did I tell you about this?
Speaker 2:15 minutes ago.
Speaker 1:Okay, did I tell you what I was gonna ask you? Nope, cool. And the reason we do that is we just want to keep it real, like I'm not trying to get some bullshit. You know staged answer. So you know what, if we would have done this two years ago, would you even talked?
Speaker 2:Nope.
Speaker 1:Probably not.
Speaker 2:So we joined the LA group around two years ago and even then I only talked to my friends and my like close family. I barely talked to anyone.
Speaker 1:So why'd you decide to open up a little more?
Speaker 2:It's the LA group, they're energy, they don't. They don't judge, like there's no right or wrong answer there. Everyone's welcome, they. They help you a lot to open up your shells.
Speaker 1:Not an ad, didn't tell her a pitch, but if you need to, wwwlegroupcom, backslash Orion 20% off. Now I'm just kidding, that's also not the website, so don't go there. But okay, perfect. So you know we got around the LA group. We got around, you know, new people. You said the energy, the non-judgment, just you know, encouragement to be yourself has, you know, been a huge thing, like what's something that you've done with the LA group that you've never thought you would.
Speaker 2:So there I run the swag shop and I helped them set up and everything. I never thought I would be part of a crew like a backstage crew or helping set up events. I always thought I would be the one at the event, learning and I never knew the LA group existed and their their overall personalities are great and it's helped be in my family get through life much, much easier. I never thought I would be working Not like actually I never thought I would be volunteering at 13 and 12.
Speaker 1:Yeah, definitely. Now I wouldn't say it's volunteering, because you ended up volunteering and ended up getting you a job and you get paid now, right?
Speaker 2:Yeah, I make commission.
Speaker 1:So tell that story real quick. So we're kind of like in between school and you finding your first job at 12, 13 years old like how did that happen?
Speaker 2:I originally started just helping set up all the events and then, as I started to get used to the LA group like I'm being able to talk to them without fear of like stuttering or messing up, doing anything to like embarrass yourself, I started asking to do other things and I ran the swag shop once and then I did it the next time. And then I did it the next time and I realized I really, really liked working there. I got to meet new people, see how everything runs, I got to work behind the scenes and everything. And then I started making commission off of the training manual the training manual training manual.
Speaker 2:The deadly scripts and the Warriors play sales warrior playbook two best books.
Speaker 1:You should get them, so let me ask you with the first time you found out about the price of one of these training manuals, like what? What did you say to me? Because you didn't sell it the first time?
Speaker 2:no, he didn't sell it. I looked at the, I looked at the app and it said 300 and $300 for a book is a lot, so he didn't buy it. And then I texted I texted you, my dad, about it and you said, yeah, it's 300. And then Jacqueline came up after and said we can pay you commission off of every book you sell. So I started to be like more confident in myself and talking to people attempting to sell books and other items to help them in life and me yeah, and the cool thing is like you know, we discussed it a little bit that it's not really a book.
Speaker 1:It's not a story about someone's life or anything, but it's more of a I mean what I just said a training manual. It, you know, teaches you to sell, go over objections for a little social media plan in there. So you ended up, you know, learning that you could get paid and you know you're on a special commission structure where you get paid pretty good per book. I think a little bit better than us coaches I don't know if it's because you're young or whatever it is but a little bit better, which is awesome for you. But you ended up learning that you know you could basically find money whenever you needed to. So what do you use to pitch the book? Like, how did you learn about the book? Because you haven't read the whole book, right.
Speaker 2:I've only read just about half of it okay, so half of it.
Speaker 1:And then, what do you tell people? What do you like? What do you tell them? You just quote off of what.
Speaker 2:I quoted off the back of the book at first and then during my free time in there, sometimes I read the book. Basically all you have to do is read the book, go to seminars and you just write stuff down and you quote it. You can paraphrase it into your own words, but using them can make you sell things. People they believe you're more confident and with better energy. It gives off better energy to them, making them more likely to be happy and willing to buy stuff because they think you're a great person, you're confident in yourself and confidence is key to just about everything.
Speaker 1:So I just want to say she's 13 years old and never actually had a real job and like this is the exact same stuff we coach and like yeah, she's around it. I don't really coach her, I don't really push her too much. I mean, I think I push her too much occasionally, but that's usually for swim. And she just realized that you know, she liked buying shit. She liked, you know, buying stuff at stores and electronics, and what do you buy?
Speaker 2:um, so right now, when I, when I turned 13, just a few days after, I opened a bank account and a savings account to buy bigger items, because when you're younger, you want to spend all your money immediately to get your favorite thing or the new, most popular thing. But stuff like that it's, it's a fat it just immediately goes out of style once you buy it. Once you get enough money to buy it, it goes out of style. Then you have to buy the next thing. But right now I'm saving up for a new iPad with a keyboard and then an Apple Pencil to do the swag shop on and then I can design stuff for my small business that I'm gonna start soon and yeah what are you making for your small business?
Speaker 2:customized jewelry okay, cool.
Speaker 1:So how much is your iPad and keyboard and stuff gonna cost you? In total, I estimated around $1,600 okay and her mom and dad, helping you out much with this one yeah, sometimes I can do chores for a few bucks.
Speaker 2:I've cleaned the house a few times for just like Tony bucks. It's not much, but every penny counts okay good job.
Speaker 1:So what'd you make our last event? How much did you make from selling the training manual?
Speaker 2:I made $300 and then I make around $300 per seminar, but last seminar I got a bonus for an extra hundred, so I made 400 last seminar okay, so three to $400, for how many days of work?
Speaker 1:one, two, two days of work? Yeah, so at 13 years old you have figured out because here's the thing about making money, finding money, this and that. Here's the thing about that is, once you figure out how to do it at a certain level, you can just kind of repeat it over and over again. It's why, like, once you figure out how to make $10,000 a month, it's not that hard to make it again. Once you figure out 20, it's pretty easy to make it again. You know 30, 50, 60 is so on and so forth. You can repeat the same process because all it is is a skill set. So you know, at 13 years old, for $400 in two days, you know assume 15 sessions of two days a month, or, you know, 30 days a month.
Speaker 1:You know that's $6,000 a month, right?
Speaker 2:six thousand well.
Speaker 1:I mean, if you worked every day and you know do the same thing and had the same production, but I think for the last like two or three events you've made $300, right, yeah, okay, so you figured out how, in a two-day period, to make $300 and now you just have to reproduce that over and over again. So let's talk about like we've kind of got your school, we've got where you're going now, like where do you see yourself going in the future?
Speaker 2:I've always been a hard-working kid.
Speaker 2:Even in, like, the younger grades, I never really slowed down because, like it was easy, you know, I would always try and go above and beyond. In about fourth grade I got accepted into gifted classes because the like just regular in general classes were going to at a two slow pace for me. So I got into gifted classes. We had a very nice teacher and as we matured they gave us more freedom, making us feel stronger and more empowered to like do our own stuff, to be who we are. And then we transferred to a more higher end school, a traditional type school, which was really hard at first. But then I started to get the hang of it and I have straight A's and I'm gonna, after eighth grade I'm gonna get into Notre Dame preparatory, just absolutely demolish that school, show them who I am, and then after that I'm gonna go to Yale, harvard, one of the top colleges. Go there, go to law school, go to college for a few years, become a corporate lawyer and then just be the best person I can be.
Speaker 1:Okay. So when you say best person you can be, what does that mean to you?
Speaker 2:Never give up. If someone does one thing, do it 10 times better.
Speaker 1:Okay.
Speaker 2:Today's tomorrow is not what you're looking for. Yesterday was nothing. Be better than you are gonna be tomorrow. So then next day you have to be better than the next day, and then that day say you made $100 one day, and then the next day you have to make more than that. You make 150, and then 200, and you slowly go further and further. It's like swim team. At first you start out really really slow, just learning the basics, and then you start doing much faster things, and then every week you go faster and faster until you're one of the best.
Speaker 1:Okay, so I'm just getting a little bit better every day. And is that just money, or is it other parts of life?
Speaker 2:It can be a school sports money, it can be just about anything. It could be your mindset, your self-care. Say, one day for the first week it's a new year, you have your new goals for 2024, 2025, anything. For the first week, you wash your face every morning. The second week you wash your face and make your bed. The first week you do those two and you clean up a little bit and then you finish all that. You make it habits and just like that, you become a better person. Every day, every week, every minute.
Speaker 1:Perfect, that works for me. So that kind of gives you an idea of what your future wants to be. You wanted to go to law school for quite some time and, like you said, the school you transferred to was very advanced for, I guess, public school and it was a little kick in the pants and you got your butt kicked at first. Then you kind of pulled your head out of your ass and said, screwed, I'm gonna do it.
Speaker 1:And yeah, now you're, I think are you straight A's again, or are you still that one B?
Speaker 2:I still have one B that I need to get up.
Speaker 1:All right, you lied We'll let it slide, but you're doing a lot better, so that's awesome. So what do you think of it? Go ahead.
Speaker 2:Just about any other school it's an A, but to my school we have much, much harder.
Speaker 1:A's.
Speaker 2:You have to have a 90, a 93 or higher.
Speaker 1:It's like 92, 93 or higher.
Speaker 2:So I have. I only have a 91. So technically it's an A in other schools, but in my school it's a B.
Speaker 1:No, it's a B. You don't go to other schools, so that's on you. So what do you think of? Let's say, what would you say you think of, like adults in today's society?
Speaker 2:Most of them are not who we should be. It's quite sad how they've given up on life. Say, you're doing good in school and then you fail. One test ruins your mindset and you fail the rest of your tests, kind of like that. Like they started good, they had a good childhood, but then, as they got older and they had to do their own thing, they started to give up on life. And then they got onto social media. They made money from there, but then they failed. And then now they're just like they're stuck at one spot because they won't try any harder. They're just, they're in one mindset. They're only doing one thing. They're doing the exact same thing every day. It's part, it's like engraved in their brain. They won't try any harder. But the LEA group they're getting better and better every day. They're helping millions of people every day to be their best selves, and some of them they don't even use it. They let go.
Speaker 1:Once again, did not frame this podcast, so not an ad. All right, cool. So when you become an adult and you get into society, or you get to be a contributing member of society or whatever the hell you wanna call it like how do you plan on being different?
Speaker 2:Have a lot of people know you. Just be an in general very friendly person in and out of social media, cause usually people are like they seem all nice on social media but then when you meet them in real life they're really, really mean. So be nice wherever be the best, always be helpful, help other people.
Speaker 1:Who have you met from social media? That was mean. Huh, who have you met from social media? That was mean.
Speaker 2:There's some people in the social media where they're all like nice, they do things on social media, but then when people meet them they're just like not good people.
Speaker 1:All right, I'll go with. It works for me. So when you decide you wanna go practice law and become a corporate attorney, like what do you think that actually is, what do you think you'll be doing?
Speaker 2:you get paid to argue with people. That's. I enjoy arguing with people, even if they get me put in my room, aka jail. Don't try it, kids.
Speaker 1:So who do you argue with?
Speaker 2:My parents.
Speaker 1:Just us.
Speaker 2:Sometimes there's class debates and with the LA group, like closing and stuff, I can slightly manipulate people into joining the dark side.
Speaker 1:We call it persuasion, not manipulation.
Speaker 2:I don't know words. Okay, words ain't wordin.
Speaker 1:Okay, so talk to me about what universities you want to potentially go to again.
Speaker 2:Right after my school I'm gonna go to a preparatory school and then either want to go to Yale, or Is Notre Dame and Yale the same? No, okay, are those both called? Notre Dame is a college too.
Speaker 1:Yes.
Speaker 2:Okay, either those two or Harvard, one of the higher, most more known schools.
Speaker 1:Why do you want to go to those schools?
Speaker 2:They're just, in general, better. Some just regular colleges. They teach you the basics in life, but higher schools, they're gonna teach you more than that. They'll teach you the basics, they'll teach you the advanced basics. I don't know what to say about that part.
Speaker 1:You can say whatever you want, but that's cool. Alright, you want to play a cool game live on a podcast? Sure, alright, we're gonna call this game and I'm just making it up as we go is called how much did your parents fuck you up? Are you ready?
Speaker 2:Simple answer a lot.
Speaker 1:Yeah, that's true. So I've got a bunch of new stations pulled up, and this is kind of the same thing I'm gonna do on my podcast, where, you know, the first one was kind of just proof that the news is fricking stupid and pointless and, honestly, we don't watch.
Speaker 2:Are you doing the whole time?
Speaker 1:I did it yesterday. This is only a second episode. Yeah, I've been looking for stories. I've got some kids news stations pulled up. I've got, you know, the OG CNN, I've got the Fox News and I'm just gonna hit you with little headlines and I want you to tell me what you think.
Speaker 2:okay, Don't you'd say it. What do you mean? What's on your screen? Don't say it.
Speaker 1:Which one? There's a lot on this screen. Oh yeah, we'll talk about that one in a second, because that'll be fun. So you know who Mark Zuckerberg is.
Speaker 2:The one who looks like a robot.
Speaker 1:I mean he kind of looks like a robot.
Speaker 2:He looks like the kid in my class, the guy who started Facebook and bought Instagram. Oh, that one yeah.
Speaker 1:Okay, so it says Mark Zuckerberg made more than 28 billion this morning after Metastalk makes a record search. What do you think of that?
Speaker 2:28 billion in a morning. Yeah, like he just woke up and he had an extra 28 billion.
Speaker 1:I mean I think it took a couple hours, but yeah.
Speaker 2:Absolutely outrageous.
Speaker 1:Well why?
Speaker 2:What is he gonna do with the money? There's no, like even a billion. Like what's a human gonna do with a billion dollars? You don't need a massive fancy house. You don't need a massive fancy car. You don't need everything you could possibly want. Yes, money does buy happiness, but you just need the basics in life. Once you're done with that, you can advance. But you don't really need to show off all your money.
Speaker 1:Well, I mean, I don't think he was showing off. That's a news article that's reporting about Zuckerberg. Zuckerberg actually is kind of quiet, even though he has a lot of dough. So, that being said, you need you said that money does buy happiness, but all you need is the basics. What are the basics to you? What are the basics of life mean to you?
Speaker 2:You just need work, obviously, to get the money, you need a house. It doesn't matter if it's a small one that costs just not, not much. It doesn't matter if it's a slightly it's a medium house or a large house. You just you need a car, obviously, to get to places, to get to work. You need vacations. You need friends, family, obviously Food, water, electricity. You just need everything to keep you alive. You need protection Stuff like that. Vacations I'm not sure if I already said that.
Speaker 1:You said vacations twice Do you like vacations?
Speaker 2:I like vacations. What's?
Speaker 1:your favorite vacation.
Speaker 2:Hmm, theme parks. I love roller coasters and water parks. I also really, really like water parks.
Speaker 1:Water parks. We went to a water park recently.
Speaker 2:Great with Lodge.
Speaker 1:Did you have fun? Yes, I love that place. Did you write a slide?
Speaker 2:My favorite slide was the one where the floor goes like under you. You stand cross your arms and legs and then the floor just drops under you. Okay, that's my favorite one.
Speaker 1:So and I find this very interesting because this is just, you know, what actually matters in life Like a 13-year-old isn't really dealing with much, but what I come to find out is you know, they honestly deal with the same shit we do, but we just go out and find crap to worry about. So you know, let's uh, let's not cover that article because I could get this in trouble, and I mean that's literally how horrible the news is Nowadays. I'm looking through articles and I'm reading them like, oh my gosh, if you know someone gives their real opinion without any, you know, backing that, I mean I'm already gonna get banned from this. This podcast ain't going anywhere, so whatever. So let's do this. Nope, not that one either. Okay, so okay, this is a good one. Alright. This says roadblock could stop Taylor Swift from seeing her boyfriend in the Super Bowl.
Speaker 2:Taylor Swift is a scam and a con.
Speaker 1:Explain.
Speaker 2:I believe I heard this from someone else, one of my dad's friends.
Speaker 1:Uh oh.
Speaker 2:Oh yeah, oh yeah, uh oh. Taylor Swift is being paid by the NFL to quote, unquote date Travis Kelsey to get younger people to buy tickets, uh, their merch, and watch the NFL, because their ratings were going away because of social media and just in general, taylor Swift, like every, every single piece of her merch, is overpriced. She has 700 covers for just one album. And then the Swifties are taking over the world. They're scary, they're spooky. I'd rather be chased by a javelina than a Swiftie.
Speaker 1:That's an Arizona pig-like creature. They're spooky.
Speaker 2:Spooky dookie.
Speaker 1:Alright, this one that I think you'll really really like. So, teens working part-time jobs at highest rate since 2011 in perfect quote perfect storm of economic condition stability.
Speaker 2:That says 2009.
Speaker 1:Yeah, it's, teens are working part-time jobs at the highest rate since 2009.
Speaker 2:I don't comprehend.
Speaker 1:Like more teens are working jobs part-time jobs than they ever have since 2009. Like more teens are having to go to work or choosing to go to work. Why do you think that is?
Speaker 2:Life is boring. What else are we supposed to do with it?
Speaker 1:All right, good answer.
Speaker 2:You just wake up school sports, sleep. Wake up school sports, sleep. Wake up school sports, sleep Until the weekend, and then it just flies by and then back to school for another five days Weekend. It's boring. What else am I supposed to do with my free time?
Speaker 1:So what do you think about this Stanley Cup Mania spreading to the toy aisle?
Speaker 2:Like what, like Stanley Cup. You know what that is? Yes, I have one.
Speaker 1:That annoying shit you and mom have. Hey, that Stanley Cup Mania is spreading to the toy aisle.
Speaker 2:That's weird. It's just a cup. Why would you want to play with a cup? Like, if a kid wants to play with a cup, they probably want like a tea set or something, not a Stanley.
Speaker 1:Well, I think it's more related to where they're selling an advertising amount. I don't necessarily know if you play with it, but you drink with it.
Speaker 2:Yeah, it holds, water.
Speaker 1:All right, do you know what Time Magazine is? No, Okay. So Time Magazine is a magazine from a long ass time ago. Everybody's read it. It looks like you know from what I've Googled in the last hour. There's, you know, a version for educators, there's a version for families, there's a version for kids, just about anything. You know K1, 2, 3, and 4, and 5 and 6. Let's go to 5 and 6. That's closest to where you're at. So this is a kids magazine and I looked at this a second ago and I think it's pretty cool because it's not as horrible. But we're going to see what's going on here. So let's see here One of their articles. Let's go to their very first article. So tell me if you think this would be interesting to you when you would read it, or you don't really give a shit. A volcano erupts A volcano in Iceland, I can't read that word. Peninsula erupted on the morning of January 14th.
Speaker 2:Rec Janes.

Speaker 2:Not interested.
Speaker 1:Okay, interested or not interested, there's a dry spell. The king fish endures dry winter weather near Kashmir, india. On something the region is having a tough winter because it's dry, no snow. You're going to read it or you're going to pass.
Speaker 2:That, like little summary, is worse than my essays. I would. I'm going to need more on that. I love animals. I would probably read it if I had more on the article.
Speaker 1:What about Messi in Miami?
Speaker 2:I don't know, I don't really care for sports that much.
Speaker 1:What about girl power?
Speaker 2:I think I could do the same.
Speaker 1:So it says Melinda French Gates. Melinda Gates, that's Bill Gates's ex-wife, is a businesswoman and philanthropist. She co-founded. She's the co-founder of the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, one of the world's largest private charitable organizations. She's also the author of a book called Advocate or author and an advocate.
Speaker 2:No, I wouldn't read it, why? I don't really care for much what it says.
Speaker 1:Okay, I don't know what that is. So you got something about the Wisconsin Wolverines.
Speaker 2:I hate football so much. How about the?
Speaker 1:change in the sea.
Speaker 2:What do you mean Like? Read the little thing of a G.
Speaker 1:And Rik Sala is standing under a replica of the right whale of a right whale at a Natural History Museum in Washington DC. I'm absolutely terrified of the sea, but I do like reading about it, so I would most likely read it Right, so you'd read that one, I would read about this one, and this is about 10 articles down on times4kidscom Tfk I don't know what the tfk is explains primaries and caucuses. Do you know what either of those things are?
Speaker 2:Nope.
Speaker 1:Okay, let me read the uh.
Speaker 2:If it's a big word, I'm not going to read it.
Speaker 1:So election season begins on January 15th with Iowa's caucus State caucus and primaries are held before every presidential election. Republican and Democratic parties hold them to select a candidate in the general election. Tfk explains the differences between the primaries.
Speaker 2:I'm only 13 and I have five more years to go until I can vote. So no, I would probably start reading in about four years.
Speaker 1:Do you think every adult American should have the right to vote? No, who should, and who?
Speaker 2:shouldn't the ones who actually tried in life? There's a lot of people who really just are careless of their life. They just see how it goes. They don't like attempt to plan their future, and then their votes are shouldn't count.
Speaker 1:Okay. Do you want to get dad's podcast shut down on episode two? Nope, well, let's try, nope. What do you think of? Don't you dare of President Joe.
Speaker 2:Biden. If I could describe Joe Biden in one word, it jigg-a-gub-jigg-a-bit in America. Quote Biden.
Speaker 1:Did you intentionally fuck that up? Yep, very good.
Speaker 2:It's one of his quotes. He was in the middle of his speech and he goes America. America, described in one word, would jigg-a-gub-a-bit in America. Okay.
Speaker 1:And your knowledge and understanding. Who do you think will be the next president-elect this year?
Speaker 2:The one and only our lord and savior, Donald Trump.
Speaker 1:Little blasphemous.
Speaker 2:Don't, don't.
Speaker 1:That is your opinion about Donald Trump.
Speaker 2:He looks like a cheeto puff.
Speaker 1:Do you know anything about his like political stances, economic stances, anything?
Speaker 2:No, everything I know about him is probably from like family guy or South Park.
Speaker 1:So why do you think he's gonna be the next president? Gas, gas yep like fuel, mm-hmm. That's your opinion.
Speaker 2:Yep cuz I don't know anything.
Speaker 1:Okay well. There's a problem. You're half right with saying people that don't contribute to society shouldn't have a right to vote, and I believe that, like If you don't pay over like a liveable wage, or if you don't claim a liveable wage of income and pay a little bit of taxes in this society, I don't know like why the fuck do you get a vote? Like you don't do anything, you just collect unemployment. So I agree with that one isn't Biden.
Speaker 2:What's, what is he? A Dimeca, dimeca crap.
Speaker 1:Democrat.
Speaker 2:Yeah, isn't he one I mean yeah. Aren't those the ones who believe that only the rich should pay the taxes to give to the poor, or something?
Speaker 1:Oh, that's an entire episode. Maybe we'll do that for episode two with Orion. Um, not exactly, but I mean.
Speaker 2:Okay, now you understand what I mean, right.
Speaker 1:Yeah, that's just a hard. That's a hard topic. That could be a six hour podcast by itself.
Speaker 2:I'm gonna make it, I'm gonna shorten quick. If you tried in life, you should be at the top. You should be Praise, respected. But the people who don't try and are trying to get away with it easy, as other people worked hard for their stance or their place in the society, the. But like the people who didn't try, we're trying to get through life easy. They should, I Wouldn't say, be taxed more, but they should just. They should be the same or Not same. But it should be based off of your income, because if you didn't try in life, that's your fault. That you're at the bottom, that's your fault that you just suck. So yeah, if you tried in life and you're at the top of society, you should be well respected. That's why I think Trump's gonna win. People are stupid.
Speaker 1:All right, we're gonna end that there because that is we're really good in there. I'll probably clip out and put on social media to piss some people off. But yeah, that's episode two of not safe for society. We appreciate y'all toning it and tuning in. Hopefully you made it all 37 minutes and we'll talk soon you.
