[SPEAKER_08]: We will start the show.

[SPEAKER_06]: T. M. O. W. S. Classic.

[SPEAKER_06]: Friday, flashback.

[SPEAKER_06]: Trash, why?

[SPEAKER_06]: Brassled.

[SPEAKER_06]: Just runnin' back and forth and back and forth.

[SPEAKER_06]: And I was telling Carla the last night that this house that I live in up here.

[SPEAKER_06]: When I walk around, I'm like a ballerina because I'm avoiding furniture all the time because it's teeny and everything's kind of jammed in.

[SPEAKER_06]: Yeah, you know, spying out.

[SPEAKER_06]: And we had us again, and so we've got a table that has a leaf in it down in the kitchen, and we kind of spread out the table all the way like into the main room, and we haven't put it back together yet.

[SPEAKER_06]: In fact, we haven't done a lot.

[SPEAKER_06]: The balloons are not taken down from my, yeah.

[SPEAKER_06]: My young son's birthday.

[SPEAKER_04]: Why say why rush it?

[SPEAKER_04]: I mean balloons make things fun.

[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, and balloons traditionally are left up.

[SPEAKER_04]: There's no idea of just taking everything off before the balloons lose helium and they all followed the ground.

[SPEAKER_06]: These were not helium balloons.

[SPEAKER_06]: These were hand blown.

[SPEAKER_06]: Handblown by the way, which was a really, that's the way we used to advertise dorms in the American University.

[SPEAKER_06]: Stop, you did it?

[SPEAKER_06]: I don't know what I'm talking about.

[SPEAKER_06]: I'll come on.

[SPEAKER_06]: That's wrong with me.

[SPEAKER_06]: A lot of distance from there this time.

[SPEAKER_05]: Sure.

[SPEAKER_06]: Yeah.

[SPEAKER_06]: Why didn't I print that out?

[SPEAKER_06]: Old Mary, so you were talking amongst yourselves.

[SPEAKER_05]: How they're going to lose it?

[SPEAKER_05]: Like how they're going to lose it?

[SPEAKER_04]: It's Maddie.

[SPEAKER_04]: Can you imagine a fully virtual semester?

[SPEAKER_02]: No, I would have been so pissed off.

[SPEAKER_02]: the whole point of college is to go out in party.

[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, there you go.

[SPEAKER_02]: How you're going to do that.

[SPEAKER_02]: That's just depressing.

[SPEAKER_02]: I feel so bad for them.

[SPEAKER_04]: Let's go to the zoom.

[SPEAKER_04]: Happy our maggies.

[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, let's do it.

[SPEAKER_04]: Let's do it.

[SPEAKER_06]: Let's do it.

[SPEAKER_06]: Yeah, Maggie's the home of the hand blown balloons.

[SPEAKER_05]: Yes.

[SPEAKER_06]: hand-blown balloon by the way, and talk a lot.

[SPEAKER_06]: It was a great party and, you know, it was nice.

[SPEAKER_06]: He got a, his gammie sent him a battleship.

[SPEAKER_05]: He got a really suit.

[SPEAKER_06]: He got a World War I suit.

[SPEAKER_06]: He got, uh, what a canister of mustard gas.

[SPEAKER_06]: It was a great party.

[SPEAKER_06]: He got fake grenades.

[SPEAKER_06]: We went all the way, you know what, my mind is what we'll talk about this in the beginning of the show because it had on my show prep for a couple of days now.

[SPEAKER_06]: Okay, thank you.

[SPEAKER_06]: Should I be worried at this military obsession?

[SPEAKER_04]: I know I played army when I was a boy in his father's footsteps.

[SPEAKER_06]: Okay, thank you. [SPEAKER_06]: Should I be worried at this military obsession? [SPEAKER_04]: I know I played army when I was a boy in his father's footsteps. [SPEAKER_04]: He sees you he sees you watching these docks. [SPEAKER_04]: right and reading like this must be important in history is important this is this is quite to the departure though from I would say three year old Mike now allowed to be like playing with guns to hey don't forget your grenades [SPEAKER_06]: because I'm asking you honestly, I'm asking you honestly about whether or not this is this upset. [SPEAKER_06]: I don't think it's an obsession. [SPEAKER_06]: I think like for example, he had his buddy, Colton come over yesterday. [SPEAKER_06]: They're both in his military uniforms that he got. [SPEAKER_06]: He got like a shot. [SPEAKER_05]: You are going to say they're both in the militia. [SPEAKER_05]: They're both in it and they're going out there and they're running around the yard and they're playing on me. [SPEAKER_04]: You have to think about it. [SPEAKER_04]: Think about like from the outside looking in. [SPEAKER_04]: Yeah. [SPEAKER_04]: You have a friend who's a colonel that comes in stays with you guys. [SPEAKER_04]: You love World War II history. [SPEAKER_04]: Like your history buff when it comes to that. [SPEAKER_04]: You enjoy educating your son about the facts. [SPEAKER_04]: Like, no, they weren't Nazis yet, Michael, but they were still bad during that time during World War one. [SPEAKER_04]: So, that's right. [SPEAKER_04]: This is point. [SPEAKER_04]: You're falling on this. [SPEAKER_06]: I'm fostering the the obsession with the subconsciously. [SPEAKER_05]: Yes, well, I say even outside of that that's so that's it. [SPEAKER_06]: Even outside of that when I was growing up that one that might be right That might be true [SPEAKER_05]: But even if you don't, even if you take that as an outlier, when I was growing up, I was not allowed to have toy guns. [SPEAKER_05]: It just wasn't what we did. [SPEAKER_05]: And even then, now you want to go out and get them a halitzer. [SPEAKER_05]: Sure. [SPEAKER_05]: Uh, yeah, we didn't want to run anyways. [SPEAKER_05]: Well, no, but I'm saying that when we played, we played, you know, army or whatever, you find a stick that looked like a gun and you pretended it was a gun. [SPEAKER_05]: You say in the foxhole. [SPEAKER_06]: Yeah, I mean, I'm interested in world history, but I mean, I don't obsess, I'm not like Tony Soprano, where the only thing I watch is the history channel and watch World War II about how it's been. [SPEAKER_06]: I read two books out of the last two, I'll ask three books I've read, two of them have involved, you know, the bad people in world. [SPEAKER_04]: But he also sees your esteem and respect for the colonel. [SPEAKER_04]: He doesn't know, you know, what don't call them colonel too. [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, so I want to say, like, why wouldn't he say really? [SPEAKER_04]: That's cool. [SPEAKER_04]: Yeah. [SPEAKER_04]: You would buy into all of that, which is great, which is fine. [SPEAKER_04]: By the way, not a bad thing overall. [SPEAKER_04]: But if you're wondering where it comes from, what stems from? [SPEAKER_04]: How does you know what, which tanks are, which tanks? [SPEAKER_06]: Well, I tell him, okay, but he asked me. [SPEAKER_06]: He said, what kind of tank is this? [SPEAKER_06]: It's a Sherman tank. [SPEAKER_06]: So what's that? [SPEAKER_06]: Panzers, but they were better than the Sherman tanks, because they had thicker armor, but I think you could do damage to them underneath. [SPEAKER_06]: He's asking the questions, I mean, I'm answering the call. [SPEAKER_06]: But all ships, that, that's a destroyer. [SPEAKER_06]: What ship is that? [SPEAKER_06]: It's a battleship. [SPEAKER_06]: He's got a toy battleship, and we're gonna play with it in the pond. [SPEAKER_06]: All kids might have fun. [SPEAKER_06]: Highlighters, he's ready to go out and look at him. [SPEAKER_06]: Like it's coloring is different in that light. [SPEAKER_06]: Yeah, it looks like a bond dog. [SPEAKER_05]: The lighting is different because we've started a half hour early It'll change. [SPEAKER_05]: You'll look. [SPEAKER_05]: He'll look normal at about nine fifteen. [SPEAKER_05]: The the kids fascination with the army and also police I think it's because we instill authority into children to respect authority and I think [SPEAKER_05]: A lot of kids love the army. [SPEAKER_05]: They love to play army. [SPEAKER_05]: I think that Michael is a curious and intelligent kid that takes it to the next level But the basis of liking the army. [SPEAKER_05]: That's just kids being kids. [SPEAKER_05]: I think. [SPEAKER_05]: Well, just just quickly if you don't mind on and we'll pat for you. [SPEAKER_05]: And for a second, he's got a lot of stuff. [SPEAKER_06]: He's got a lot of stuff. [SPEAKER_06]: We don't want to drop a Duke right on your floor. [SPEAKER_06]: Oh, there you go. [SPEAKER_06]: No need to wear shoes. [SPEAKER_06]: He's going to go sniff around some plants, you put proper footwear on, you'll focus on the show. [SPEAKER_05]: How about you focus on me not wearing proper footwear, and then everything will be fine. [SPEAKER_06]: This is so you are of the so-called massive, like. [SPEAKER_06]: There's a lame, whosler feeding your horse. [SPEAKER_06]: He got a reference, but appreciate. [SPEAKER_04]: He's got Fred Flintstone feet. [SPEAKER_05]: Like that's what you have here that are just, uh, I mean, well, if I did night fall down, look what they have to support. [SPEAKER_06]: Do you choose anywhere near you right now? [SPEAKER_05]: I got my books down here. [SPEAKER_05]: Yeah. [SPEAKER_05]: Where are they? [SPEAKER_05]: Hold on, they're over here. [SPEAKER_06]: I just like the tour because I'm craving more of it right now. [SPEAKER_06]: There they go, those will put upon those feet. [SPEAKER_06]: Look at his feet.

[SPEAKER_06]: And he's moving from downstairs because we create them a lot of we go out of the house. [SPEAKER_06]: We create them because he's still a puppy, but he's a very lovable beginning back to my kid. [SPEAKER_06]: I don't be instead of placing the blame on where, uh, you know, who instilled this. [SPEAKER_06]: And I'm not going to dispute that I might be influencing my son. [SPEAKER_06]: Should I be concerned about all this military stuff? [SPEAKER_06]: Like the first question today was, dad, uh, when was the Civil War? [SPEAKER_05]: And I said it was in the 1800s.
