Bobbi's Therapy Chicken Named Lyle Doesn't Care About Your Legal Opinions-When Common Sense and Laws Collide S:1E:44
What happens when laws don't align with common sense? In this spirited conversation, mother-daughter hosts Jane and Bobbi tackle the fascinating gray area between what's legally permitted and what logically should be.
The pair kicks off with one of Bobbi's top frustrations—the maddening inconsistency in women's clothing sizes. Wait, WHAT?
From there, they explore a range of head-scratching legal contradictions. Why can displayed prices exclude tax, forcing mental math at checkout? Should exotic animal ownership remain legal when many owners can't properly care their pets? And why has raw milk become such a controversial regulatory battleground?
Throughout their conversation, Jane and Bobbi maintain their trademark humor while raising thought-provoking questions about personal freedom, corporate responsibility, and government overreach. Their candid perspectives challenge listeners to examine the logic behind laws that impact our daily lives.

welcome, welcome, welcome everyone to today's show. A boomer and a gen xer walk into a bar, coming to you from the rabbit hole studio, where you, as our listeners, will experience some wit and wisdom, some smart assery and this mother and that daughter questioning. Are we even related? My name is jane burr, my co-host is my daughter, bobbi, and for the next several minutes we're here to entertain you. Hey, bobbi, I see that you've got a visitor down there at the other end of the studio. What's going on?
Speaker 2:So what I did is I just quacked a song and said name that tune and they just laughed at me. What was the song here let's hear I have no idea what the song was. I was just messing with you.
Speaker 1:Oh my gosh. So yeah, she's squeezing this stupid chicken, and it was like it makes the same sound every time. Then she goes what song is that? Oh, like we would know. Okay, I don't think you leave lyle alone. Okay, is that his name?
Speaker 2:I don't think so.
Speaker 1:You leave Lyle alone. Is that his name? I don't know, I change it I change it like every week.
Speaker 2:He doesn't know.
Speaker 1:You know what I think is funny now that you said that is like people who name their dogs. People names Like Susan.
Speaker 2:Susan, don't bite that, steven. Well, I mean my dog come here. My dog is technically a human name. Well, kind of yeah, I mean, I named it after one of my favorite podcasters oh, I thought it was like bailey's no, bailey's drink, no, no, no, it's after bailey sirian the, the murder mystery.
Speaker 1:oh you know, yeah, but I didn't realize the dog was that stupid, so it, so it's kind of an oxymoron name yeah, so some people name their dogs like Elliot, yeah, or Elizabeth, or Mark Mark.
Speaker 2:George come, here, yeah, exactly.
Speaker 1:Exactly. Well, today we have a topic that we think is quite fun, and we hope our listeners do too, and maybe they'll be thinking about some of the topics that come to mind as we're talking about them and basically, you sound so professional.
Speaker 2:Really, we're just winging it. We are kind of winging it today, Because I just kind of I pulled it right out of nowhere.
Speaker 3:Like five minutes ago.
Speaker 2:Literally on the way over here I was like we should do this.
Speaker 1:That sounds good, so what?
Speaker 2:is the topic. So I'm thinking of things that are not illegal but should be, or are illegal and shouldn't be. Okay, okay, so, so let's start off with a bang. Okay, so one of the things that is not illegal, but I think should be, is the way that clothing manufacturers can't get their shit together when it comes to women's sizes. Okay, so, all men's sizes go by inches, like pants. You know exactly how big that pair of pants is it's 34 inches by 34 inches, and we have small, medium and large. No, we have like, oh, this is a size 10, but if you, you know, in this brand it's a size 8, but in this brand it's a size 0 and in this brand it's a 22 wide. Like, get your shit together, because I can't deal with this anymore. I cry when I close shop anymore because, I can't find my size.
Speaker 1:I'm just like I'm over it hoarding your money because I can see you're not using it, just buy clothes it is laundry day.
Speaker 2:I have no clothes right now. You leave me alone. I don't think you've seen me in shorts in like years.
Speaker 1:It's been a long time and you walked in with those white legs today and I went what is going on here? Oh my goodness, where did she? Just laundry day okay, okay, well, that's a good one. Um, one of the things and this could be a political issue, uh, no one really takes it that way, but, um, I recognize that there are a lot of loopholes in the tax system where, if you are a business, you can get certain credits or you can get certain. I can't even think of the word.
Speaker 1:Deductions, deductions or you don't have to take the credits, or you take certain credits. And you know people complain about how large corporations don't pay their fair share of taxes, and the fact of the matter is is I am a firm believer that I don't care who you are, what you are or where you are, you should never be paying any more taxes than you're already paying. It's about time that our government, you know, starts spending our money the way they're supposed to and not asking us for more money. But there are so many loopholes that these corporations and people can utilize that that's why they're not paying the taxes. And then people think it's unfair. Well, quit voting for these freaking tax laws. I mean, it's crazy. That's one that I just I think is crazy. I think there should not be any, any tax deductions. I think everybody this is me- holy crap, you don't agree.
Speaker 2:You just came out of like left field. I'm like I'm thinking it's a fun one yeah, so holy.
Speaker 1:I think everybody should pay 10, everybody, I don't care who it is, y'all pay down to pay 10 10, whatever that is, and I don't care if you make a million dollars, because 10 on a million is a lot more than 10 on, you know, 25 000.
Speaker 2:So everybody pays 10 and let her roll, okay. So bouncing off of that one, I don't okay. If you go into a store and let's say eggs are 399 on the price tag, oh for god's sakes, not the egg price. I want to pay 399 I don't want on the price tag.
Speaker 2:Oh, for God's sakes, not the egg price. Right now I want to pay $3.99. I don't want. If the price tag says $5.29, that should include the tax. Stop making me do freaking math, okay, I don't like it. First of all, every county in this state has a different tax, so you never know if you're paying 7%, 8%, 6%.
Speaker 1:That's not true. Know if you're paying seven percent, eight percent, six percent. It's state state no, no, no, no no, absolutely no.
Speaker 2:Dallas county tax is different than poke county tax.
Speaker 1:Well then, you have a.
Speaker 2:I don't know what's going on there well, I'm in a different tax bracket so I pay attention to that one percent. But no, I I don't think that they should be able to put a price tag on the shelf and then charge you a different price when you get to the register. If you want to put tax on it, put it on the freaking price and that's what I pay. I think it should be illegal for them to do that. Period.
Speaker 1:You know what I think should be illegal, but it's not in all states.
Speaker 2:Oh Lord.
Speaker 1:Is that I don't think that you should be able to own, like monkeys and lions and bears.
Speaker 2:What.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:Not even with an exotic license. No.
Speaker 1:Well.
Speaker 2:Joe, exotic doesn't like you I know.
Speaker 1:Well, isn't he dead? No, he's in prison, that's right. Carol Baskin's the one that killed her husband and fed him to the tigers um, but I don't think people should, because you know, and I'm just going to give an example, we lived out south or north of town when you were little and oh, the guy that had the lion, yeah yeah, right next right behind us, yeah right there and so years he had this lion caged up in his garage, yeah, and the lion never got out.
Speaker 1:It was in this cage and so he had some exotic license that allowed him to have this lion and it was like the saddest thing. And here's the really sad thing the house caught on fire and killed the lion. Yeah, I remember that. It the really sad thing the house caught on fire and killed the lion. Yeah, I remember that it was really sad. And you know, the thing is is there's a lot of people who can't take care of a dog or a cat, right, I mean, when you see a dog chained up outside and especially in the heat, and people go, well, they've got water.
Speaker 2:Yeah, it's been boiling for 15 minutes In a metal bowl, in the sun, in a metal bowl, right in a metal bowl in the sun.
Speaker 1:A metal bowl well, he's got a dog house. Yeah, that's like a sauna, yeah, uh, unless you got an air conditioning unit in there. And so there's a lot of people who can't take care of domestic animals.
Speaker 2:So I don't, I don't think they should be taking care of any type of exotic animals okay, so another one I have is you know, around here, around, here, around, you gotta have a, a fish, and you know a license to fish. You gotta have a license to drive a car well license to fish we'll get on that, but I I don't think that um once you have so many kids that are taken away by the state that you should be allowed to have more what are they gonna do?
Speaker 2:make them get make them look, I'm not saying what the solution is their rights away, but when you? Have seven children and all seven are taken away within the first year by the department of human services. Maybe you shouldn't be having any more children.
Speaker 1:I'm just saying, is all well, I don't disagree with that, I don't disagree. But the problem is, is you're taking away their fundamental rights and so I know we do that anyway, but let's go, let's go I gotta disagree with that all right, what's?
Speaker 2:what's the something else that's either illegal or legal and you should you think it be the opposite.
Speaker 1:I don't think that it should be legal that the government allows certain things to be in our food.
Speaker 2:Oh, like arsenic Corn syrup.
Speaker 1:Yeah, no bugs or mouse poop Bugs.
Speaker 2:I'm okay with the poop, I'm not or human flesh, human flesh I'm not cool with. Or rat hair.
Speaker 1:Yeah, or so many flies, and we did cover this on the things you should know type of thing, because there is a book out there that the government publishes telling you how many of these things are allowable in certain foods, right, and I don't think any of it should be allowed.
Speaker 2:Right and going along with that. You know a lot of the Amish community has had issues with this lately. I don't think that it should be illegal to sell unpasteurized milk, you know.
Speaker 1:I can't believe you brought that up, Bobby. So Dr Domain and I drink raw milk. Yeah, and we. Just last year was it last year or two years ago did the state of Iowa allow raw milk to be sold on very, very small controlled farms? Was it last year?
Speaker 3:yeah, I think it was last year and georgia did with georgia as well. Georgia did too.
Speaker 1:Yeah and so they're very much controlled. I mean, it's like you can only have like 10 head of cattle on this farm, right, and it has to be so many miles away from another farm that you know could contract, right, you know, some disease or something, and so they're really under some pretty strict guidelines. But I will tell you, there's a lot of people who are pissed off at us, excuse me, who are mad at us because we drink raw milk.
Speaker 2:So what who?
Speaker 1:Like one of my grandkids.
Speaker 3:Okay, a lot of words.
Speaker 2:But I mean, so what If you want to drink raw milk, if, if a farmer wants to sell raw milk and you go in knowing that it's raw milk I mean, look at the crap we're buying on the shelves you really think raw milk is the problem? Yeah, no, no, it's red dye number five.
Speaker 1:I mean come on, no kidding, and you know what that used to be illegal, yeah, and and I remember when you couldn't get red m&ms. Yep, do you remember that? Yeah I remember, yeah, so you couldn't get red m&ms.
Speaker 3:Yep, do you remember that?
Speaker 2:yeah, I remember, yeah so you couldn't get red m&ms, you couldn't get red candies, that sort of thing, and then all of a sudden it's there, well, and a lot of our foods in the united states are not allowed overseas because it has ingredients in it that are banned because they're so bad for people.
Speaker 2:Yeah, and it's like, okay, and you're really worried about me going and getting cow milk straight from the cow, like, come on, now get over it. Yeah, that's, that's one thing that is still illegal in a lot of places that I do not think should be illegal I think the irony of that the the people that are the raw milk haters, whatever that group's called we'll call them raw milk haters.
Speaker 3:Rmhs, they'll be sucking on that teat boy. So um are the same people that you know want to go out and make everything organic and, you know, eat dirt and all that horse crap but, but it's the most natural thing. Yeah, I mean it's coming straight from the. But it's the most natural thing. Yeah, I mean, it's coming straight from the cow, it's not getting pasteurized and everything.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:There's a reason why they did pasteurization, but it doesn't really apply anymore, and the fact of the matter is it doesn't get to a temperature that is actually killing everything. So what difference does it make?
Speaker 3:Yeah, I just find it unfortunate that they really stifle a lot of the good people out there that are trying to make a living out of a dairy farm. Correct, because in Georgia I lived down the road from a really large dairy manufacturer and the remnants are still there. The tanks are still there, the pastures are still there. They actually still have some of the dairy cattle, but they were forced out because of the regulations.
Speaker 2:And I think that's sad. And they just had a government seizure on an amish farm. They took over a hundred thousand dollars worth of raw milk, saying that it was illegal for them to sell it. And that's their livelihood, that is what they work for.
Speaker 3:Yeah and it was just, it was devastating to them the whole community.
Speaker 2:It was devastating too, and it's like you know, both you and I are all for less government control.
Speaker 1:Yeah, they need to mind their own business yeah, stay out of it.
Speaker 2:You're poisoning us with river water, but you're worried about me sucking on a cow's teeth like stop.
Speaker 1:Yeah, all right, you know what I think should be legal?
Speaker 2:slapping kids in public.
Speaker 1:No wait, you did that spanking kids should be okay, and it is okay it is okay, open hand, yeah, a lot of people are like oh well, you know that's not a law.
Speaker 3:I know I wasn't gonna say that I was just kidding, that's just hyper sensitive wackos.
Speaker 2:Oh yeah, so um, I think, removing that mat, that mattress tag should be you know that's the first thing I do when I get a new mattress is I rip them suckers off. Oh my gosh, what Well. It says only by consumer. That's saying that the person selling it or the manufacturer can't remove it. Now, if you actually read the tag, it says you can't remove it unless by consumer.
Speaker 1:I know, I know You're not going to jail, I was just teasing.
Speaker 3:You'll be by consumers, you're not going to jail.
Speaker 1:I was just teasing. What about driving naked? It is legit you can drive naked, but you can't get out of your vehicle because then you risk public exposure.
Speaker 3:I think it's unwise to be driving with vinyl seats naked probably.
Speaker 2:Or leather seats. I mean my legs stick to it with shorts on. I couldn't imagine trying to peel myself out on a 110 degree day of black leather seats. Leather, yeah, I mean, my legs stick to it with shorts on.
Speaker 1:I couldn't imagine trying to peel myself out on 110 degree day of black leather seats it wasn't that long ago in the state of iowa that you could not drive barefooted right. It wasn't that long ago, yeah and it was now.
Speaker 2:It was a danger and it's like danger to who?
Speaker 1:yeah, because you're wearing flip-flops to get caught on the or?
Speaker 2:oh, a bee could come in and sting you, okay, well, so could a rabid squirrel, but we're not worried about that. Like, come on now, okay. So what else do you have? Oh gosh, like I had a whole list of them now. Oh, oh, so, uh, the highways around here. Okay, unless you are driving equipment, you should not be allowed to drive 25 or 30 mile an hour on a 55 mile an hour highway period.
Speaker 1:Some of them are like that. They do have minimum, you know, like 40 miles an hour.
Speaker 2:I'm talking like our highway coming up to your house, type of thing. Yeah, there's no minimum. Interstates have minimums. Most highways do not.
Speaker 3:Are you in a hurry?
Speaker 2:highways do not, are you? Are you in a hurry? Well, it's not about being in a hurry, but it's about impeding traffic, and it does cause a safety issue?
Speaker 3:it really does. I can see that. I can see that on busy roads, yeah, like you know, like, 169.
Speaker 2:You're coming up 169. That's a busy ass two-lane highway. You come up on somebody doing 25 mile an hour and a 55. That's not on farm equipment, you know it's.
Speaker 1:It's a hazard I know that we piss a lot of people off coming through the mountains of georgia because they're two lane highways and they are narrow and they are switch back. Yeah, and we're in a 40 foot motor home towing a car and so when we hit it, when we hit a hill, we're not doing 55, 60 miles an hour.
Speaker 2:But that's a safety thing. I mean, anybody who's ever driven a motorhome should know that that is a safety issue, that you shouldn't be flying down those switchbacks we're going downhill.
Speaker 3:Look out, can't bar the door.
Speaker 1:That's right.
Speaker 3:I can't think of a law that I would keep. I was just thinking of what I would keep.
Speaker 1:You can't think of a law no trespassing on my property. Oh no, okay, stay off, don't break into my house.
Speaker 3:Okay, and I think other people like helmet laws. They come and go right yeah.
Speaker 1:And they're state by state.
Speaker 3:And they flip back and forth, it'll be illegal one year and okay the next.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I don't think there should be helmet laws for adults, seatbelts, that's a dumb. I think it should be, maybe, maybe. Well, for those individuals that can't make decision, yeah for kids for adults.
Speaker 3:If you want to ride without seatbelts, more power to you right, yeah you know it's a little more difficult for the medics to find you, but I think that it's, you know, up to the individual Anything infringing on personal choice. I just totally against.
Speaker 1:So I don't smoke. But Anymore, I only smoked as a social smoker anyway, but that was a long time ago.
Speaker 3:Tobacco anyway, but that was a long time ago and tobacco, or what are we talking?
Speaker 1:it was tobacco. Tobacco, yeah, and that I love. But I would defend somebody's right to smoke. I just don't want you smoking oh, there you go.
Speaker 3:Yeah, smoking. That's a bullshit law too, because I think anybody should be able to smoke.
Speaker 1:But you know I do. I want you smoking near me. No, I don't.
Speaker 3:Leave it up to the proprietor of the business, I think the proprietor should make that decision Right, and then if you don't like it, you don't go to that business.
Speaker 2:Yeah, and going along with that, you know they just now raised the smoking age in Iowa to 21. Now, if you can, okay, way back when, so in the military, you can sign to go to the military and fight for your country at age 17 if you remember 17, I don't think that, as an 18 year old who's given multi-million dollars, of weapons and equipment should not be able to walk into a bar or a cigarette shop and be denied the right to kill themselves slowly.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I mean, we're killing them fast out there. What? Why would we care if they're smoking or drinking while we're doing that?
Speaker 1:totally agree, completely agree, totally agree.
Speaker 2:And I mean, if they've got the right to vote right, you got a right to vote and you got a right to go into the military it'll change but then again, I don't think that we should be allowing 17, 18, 19 year olds to be joining the military, and here's why their frontal lobe is not fully formed until they're almost 25 years old, that's for men.
Speaker 1:Okay, that's for men.
Speaker 2:Well, the majority.
Speaker 1:Yeah, and the majority are men. Okay. Did you just Roll your eyes at me, like give me that. I rolled them so hard I didn't think they were coming back up. Your left one is still back.
Speaker 2:But I don't think that before the age of 25, we should be allowing them to make those decisions to go and die and fight for our country. I don't think that we should be. I get why we do it, you know. I get why a lot of these kids join, whether it be to get out of a bad situation, to pay for college. You know, because they don't have a choice. But I don't think that their brain, at 17, 18, 19 years old, understands what they're going to go through and what they're going to come home with. And that's not fair to them, it's not fair to their families, it's not fair to their friends, it's not fair to anybody.
Speaker 3:So does that apply to voting as well? No, oh, oh Interesting.
Speaker 2:I think the voting age should be 21.
Speaker 3:Oh, so you agree. Okay, it should be 21.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 2:Okay, but that was a different thing okay okay, yeah okay, so you want them to be a little bit more mature, but I'm saying if we have the voting age at 18, why is everything else so many years away? Why is it? You know, you can vote, you can go to the military, but you can't smoke, you can't drink, you can't rent a car, you can't rent a hotel room. You can't do all of these things until you're 23, 25 years old, but we're allowing these 17, 18-year-olds to make these life-altering decisions. It's stupid. I think it should be illegal.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I mean, I hear what you're saying and I totally agree with that. There's not much we haven't disagreed or that we've disagreed on. So some of the other things that have come up on some of the lists. This is kind of funny because some of the lists um, what about recording a conversation? Like the laws indicate that at least one person has to know well, I'm the person recording, exactly, of course.
Speaker 2:So in iowa. In iowa it's a one-party state. A lot of other states are two-party states where at least two people have to know, but iowa is a one-party state. A lot of other states are two-party states where at least two people have to know, but Iowa is a one-party state where you're allowed to record as long as you realize you're recording.
Speaker 3:Yeah, it's the same in Georgia.
Speaker 1:You know what else, and it worked out pretty handy.
Speaker 2:Well, it worked out pretty handy with me too. But it's like if you don't want something to come back and bite you in the ass, maybe don't say it in a conversation. Yeah, you know.
Speaker 1:What about drugs that are over-the-counter or prescription, that if they're controlled substances I get it, you know, like if it's sleeping pills, something like that, or some oxycodone?
Speaker 2:So you're asking like paracetamol, like overseas, where it's a stronger painkiller, it's allowed over the counter. Yeah, you're asking if that should be allowed there's a lot that we should decriminalize all drugs, but that's me well, I I all of them, all of them, all of them. For adults, I think anybody who is 18 and over it should be decriminalized. Now I'm not saying legalized.
Speaker 1:Listen to what I'm saying decriminalized okay okay because I think that the people who were put in jail because of possession of marijuana should be let out absolutely, and their records should be expunged I think that's silliness yeah I think it's sheer, but then again you know it's not federally recognized as legal, it's only statewide.
Speaker 2:You know the the separate states that are actually recognizing it to be legal. I think federally it should be legalized. But then again, like I said, I think all drugs should be decriminalized. I'm not saying legal, I'm not saying go to the corner store and get you some heroin. I'm saying that if you get caught with it, if you you try to arrest you for it, you're not going to get arrested for it.
Speaker 2:What you're going to do is you're going to get referred to a rehab clinic, if that's what you want, blah blah, blah if that's what you want, but as an adult, let me make my own damn decision, because I'm going to do it anyway. I know at least three different places I can get illegal drugs, and I'm not talking marijuana. If I want to go get them, I'm going to go get them. As an adult, you're not going to stop me. The only thing that you know really stops people, and a lot of it would come with education too. You know more education on it, more resources, things like that for people who want to not do it so if you, even if you decriminalize it, there's still policies that corporations are going to have well, and that's.
Speaker 2:That's up to the corporation.
Speaker 1:That's up to any job that you want to go work yeah, so I I want people to understand that just because it was decriminalized doesn't mean that they're going to let you be a heart surgeon, right.
Speaker 2:And that's like saying okay, well, it's legal in illinois, so I'm gonna go live in illinois and I'm gonna smoke pot all day. Well, you'll get a job at taco bell, but you're not gonna get a job at you know right, lutheran general hospital is one of the top cardiologists. Most likely, I mean, you may be able to yeah, you may be a functioning pothead who's really good at surgery.
Speaker 1:I don't know, I think there's just, I think there's a lot of drugs that the farm and of course this gets back to the pharmaceuticals and who's lining whose pockets but there's a lot of drugs that are considered to be controlled or prescription level Right. That absolutely should not be. You should be able to get them over the counter. Yeah, you have a UTI, come on.
Speaker 2:Why do I have to go to a doctor for it? Yeah, I don't understand it. I know what's going on.
Speaker 1:I mean my back hurts. Yeah, you know, I'm going to go in. I have a strep throat, I have a sore throat or I've got the flu, yeah you know.
Speaker 2:Well, we need to see you. You know like you and I both have chronic health conditions that require pain management. And then they'll see you and you'll find something that works for pain management and then they'll go. Okay, well, we're going to go ahead and pull you off of what's working because we don't want you to be a drug seeker what about jaywalking? What should it be?
Speaker 1:illegal or illegal.
Speaker 2:Illegal why? Because you know how many people I've seen walk right out into cars and then get mad because the car hit them. Well, don't be stupid. I think stupidity should be illegal, but that's me Like there should be levels, there should be tickets, there should be fines. I mean, come on now. Come on now. One thing I do think that should be illegal, that a lot of states don't take seriously, if they even have records. You know laws on books is stalking. Oh yeah, whether it be real life or online, you, as my ex, should not be able to ride by my house three times a day when you don't live near me. Period.
Speaker 3:Yeah.
Speaker 2:Because that's harassment. Yeah, I don't care. You don't live near me, period. Yeah, because that's harassment. I don't care, you don't live near me. There's no reason to ride by my house, go away, and I should be able to have a law to stand on that.
Speaker 1:Would that would fix that so I yeah, and I think that's a good point, because we see too many people who have domestic situations and they try to report the person who's harassing them. They try to get a um order so that they can't come within it's hard, it's hard, it's hard, unless they try to kill you.
Speaker 2:And even you know I have an ex who did try to kill me. Yes, and I still had to go six months to court just to convince a judge that I needed protection from this person and there were cops right there that saw it Literally right there.
Speaker 1:That's, I think that's. That's what's really kind of interesting too, and so, yeah, if you're being harassed like that, now don't get me wrong If you went in and you said, hey, my mom's harassing me and I want an order.
Speaker 2:Well, it depends on the harassment. I mean, there are some really shitty parents out there, but you know, like if I called and said my mom keeps asking me when I'm coming over, like can you get her to stop? Okay, that's stupid. Like don't do that.
Speaker 1:So what about? What's one that you can think of Dr Domain that you think should either be legal or should not be legal? That is legal now. Automatic weapons not be legal? That is legal now. Automatic weapons oh wow, yeah, I think if I want to own a tank, I should own it, that's right. I don't think, as citizens, that we should have to tell the government anything about what we own. I don't give a rat's ass what anybody else thinks, so I'm just going to throw that out there, wait.
Speaker 2:So is there a ban now? Wait, is there a ban now? Wait. Is there a ban On automatic?
Speaker 3:Yeah, you have to have a special license to have an automatic weapon. Oh, shit. Okay.
Speaker 2:Never mind, okay, okay yeah.
Speaker 3:Even if you just had like burst mode on some of the weapons, I think that's fine.
Speaker 2:Oh man, I did not know that. I didn't know that they had passed anything like that. I guess I don't pay attention to the government that much.
Speaker 1:So let me ask you a question.
Speaker 3:I think there are certain things that should never be law and thankfully they're not but I could see, with the right set of people in Congress, that they could become laws, like hate speech and things like that.
Speaker 2:Right.
Speaker 3:So-called hate speech and stuff. I think that's just an infringement.
Speaker 1:I think wearing a fricking mask is is infringement on my rights, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2:Unless it's for a medical procedure.
Speaker 1:I mean you know if you have somebody having a medical procedure type thing.
Speaker 2:But if I want to go to Kmart, yeah, and you tell me I have to wear a mask to walk outside and go to Kmart or pump gas.
Speaker 1:I have an issue.
Speaker 3:I think when I look at masks I look at it like the old West, the old wild, wild West. You had fences built to keep livestock out and off your property way back in the day.
Speaker 1:You kept your livestock in. Yeah, well, it kept the other livestock out.
Speaker 3:Kept the other livestock out. If I didn't want a cow in my pasture, I'll fence it off, right.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 3:But if there's a cow in my pasture, I mean whose responsibility is that to keep the livestock out?
Speaker 2:Yours, I think it's mine yeah.
Speaker 3:Same thing with a mask. If I'm sick, I mean I'll wear a mask. If I feel like I got to wear a mask, I agree, or if other people are sick, what's wrong?
Speaker 2:Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 3:And if you're going to lecture me on wearing a mask, you don't know my health status.
Speaker 1:Right.
Speaker 3:What's wrong with your mask, by the way?
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah. And in all fairness, if somebody said, hey, I want you to come over, but in order to come over you have to wear a mask, now the decision's mine.
Speaker 2:right, the ball's in your court either you wear a mask and you come over, or you say, hey, that's okay, I'll come over some other time, or we can go meet a lake and you can stand on one side and I'll stand on the other and we'll just holler to each other what's up?
Speaker 2:oh my gosh, so another one. That is not. There is no like record illegal type thing. So I think that if you go and make a report against somebody, like to the police and you try to get them in trouble and it's proved to be false, I think that you should be charged I agree I don't care what it is, I agree.
Speaker 1:I don't care what it is, I agree, I don't care what it is In a corporation where somebody says that they were sexually harassed and you find out that it's false that person should be fired and charges should be put against them, absolutely I remember having to investigate some of those in my company and we had, so this was interesting.
Speaker 1:This was years ago and our phone records, or our phone calls, were recorded when you called into our control center. One of the gals that called into the control center to find out some information came to us and said I was sexually harassed. He called me names, he did this and he said these things, she not knowing that. We recorded those calls and it was in the company handbook that this is all recorded Right.
Speaker 1:So it's not like this is news. You know this was yesterday's news and we ended up doing an investigation. Listen to it. This guy was really nice to her. I mean super front, you know, super nice very professional. She was nasty and didn't get her way. He was really nice and professional and we couldn't do anything we couldn't, we couldn't fire her for that, for falsification, to me that's falsification, that's crap.
Speaker 3:What do you mean?
Speaker 1:you can't fire her we couldn't fire her at the time for making a false report. Yeah, because she was protected. She was kind of protected.
Speaker 3:Under what law? Retaliation laws.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I think it was a retaliation, but what a crock I mean for people to make those false allegations. And having a son has given me a completely different perspective, because he has a lot of friends that and I I've seen this firsthand where these girls are like you're going to do this or I'm going to tell people that you raped me. Yeah, that is a huge thing, and anybody who falsely accuses someone of something, there should be repercussions for it, and it should be as harsh, if not harsher, than the person who's being accused would have gotten had it been true. Yeah, because it's going to stop a lot of this shit from going on yep, I agree, I totally agree with you, okay, so?
Speaker 2:let's, let's. I think in a corporate setting, that's different.
Speaker 3:Well, you were talking about it is, yeah, it is yeah, well, like um like she should have been terminated, the guy that recently got taken off of master chef um john whatever what's his face, I don't remember. I don't follow those shows very well, but he was singing along to some kanye west song didn't know about it.
Speaker 1:Which did he drop the n-word?
Speaker 3:evil n-word that no one can say because it's been so evil. Um, yeah, he was singing along and they it's in a song whack, they whacked him, you get a pass. Well, you don't get a pass, apparently, to them oh well you got rid of, they got rid of him.
Speaker 2:Oh jeez. It's silliness like that, it's arbitrary, I mean if you're going to allow that music to be released. Sorry, I'm going to sing along to it. I'm not going to apologize, Not going to happen.
Speaker 1:I'll be honest with you. I don't think you get the right to tell me what I can say and what I can't say I'll use whatever words I want to use I'm not using it towards somebody. I'm singing it right as long as yeah and it's like, I'll use whatever words I want to use so so let's you got a fun one to end on because I do.
Speaker 2:Okay, so is it legal?
Speaker 1:another one, another one.
Speaker 3:Well like um who is the the ceo at the coldplay concert oh yeah, yeah, that just happened recently. I'm not clear on what the inner workings were at the corporate side, what they presented to the public. Was he resigned? But maybe what happened internally was he got fired.
Speaker 2:Right, he was forced out he was forced out?
Speaker 3:Why?
Speaker 1:I don't know why was he and not she?
Speaker 3:My ex wasn't forced out when she did that to me. Well come on, and there could be, you know, but there could be a clause, that is, you know, like a morality clause.
Speaker 2:A lot of companies do have morality clauses.
Speaker 3:Or they've got it in the quid pro quo.
Speaker 2:Yeah. You know if you're caught doing something, but she should have been forced out too. Yeah, because she was the CPO.
Speaker 1:He was the cpo. He was the ceo, but if it was mutual, I guess I don't understand, yeah, why either one of them would have to leave I think it's just downplayed.
Speaker 3:I think the we're morally bankrupt this society we live in. It's so acceptable now to be unfaithful to to other people that is true to the ones that you married it's's just, it's sad, it's really sad.
Speaker 1:So I got a fun one, okay you go first, is it illegal to mail poop?
Speaker 2:What so? It depends on if it's across state lines.
Speaker 3:Is it on your doorstep in a bag that's on fire?
Speaker 2:So what you have to do is you have to seal it, you have to double box it.
Speaker 1:She's got the specifics on how to do this and then you have to double, double box.
Speaker 2:it got the specifics on how to do this and then you have to mark it as a biohazard human waste, and then you can mail it well, what if it's not human? Well then you just, it's just a bio biohazard oh, okay, that's it.
Speaker 3:Yeah, it could be any species.
Speaker 2:But you do have to seal it, double box it and then put the biohazard sticker on the outside.
Speaker 1:Oh my gosh, how funny. Don't ask me how I know it could be illegal, that's true, it could be okay, yeah.
Speaker 2:Yeah, it just depends on how you do it. You got to look these things up before you do it. Okay, okay.
Speaker 1:If I get a box of poop on my front doorstep, I was going to say I'll just drop it on your doorstep. What are you talking about? You'll see it on fire, I'm sure.
Speaker 2:See me on the ring camera. I'll be like what is she doing?
Speaker 1:Oh my God so what's your last one there, Bobby?
Speaker 2:So my last one is especially lately. You know, when you go to the store and you go to let's use this as an example you go to the store and you go to buy a bag of chips, Okay, and you go to buy a bag of chips, Okay, and it's the same price as it's been. But you pick the bag up and you notice the bag's a little smaller or it's a little lighter, because you realize that they've taken out two or three ounces for the same price. They should have signs at the store.
Speaker 1:Oh, indicating that.
Speaker 2:Indicating that this is a smaller size for the same price. You're getting screwed. Do you still want to eat them? Chips?
Speaker 1:screwed do you still want to eat them chips. They're travel size.
Speaker 3:They're travel size yeah, family size is now one sitting size.
Speaker 2:You're too fat size. Bag of chips will not fit in your watch pocket of your jeans. Don't judge me. Well, do you have any?
Speaker 1:more. I think I'm done. I think that was pretty fun.
Speaker 2:Now I would love to hear from our listeners on some things that they think should be illegal, or things that they think shouldn't be illegal that are, and maybe even why. Because we would love to hear why we would love to hear it, but you know what?
