EP #98 The lack of common sense.
Welcome back to Dont get this Twisted
The conversation explores the concept of common sense and its decline in society. The hosts discuss their recent trip to Las Vegas and observe the lack of common sense on the road. They define common sense as sound and prudent judgment based on a simple perception of the situation or facts. They highlight the importance of allowing people to make mistakes and learn from them. The conversation also touches on the role of gender in common sense and the impact of alcohol on decision-making. The conversation explores the impact of alcohol on truthfulness and the fear of judgement that often prevents people from expressing their true thoughts. It delves into the role of common sense in relationships and the need to teach and value common sense in society. The value of elders in teaching common sense and the importance of calling out bullshit are also discussed. The conversation highlights the lack of common sense in younger generations and the need to think before reacting. It concludes with a call to action to use common sense and share the podcast with others.

::[Tina m Garcia]: Mm-hmm.
2
::[Robb]: That's pretty funny. Yeah, sometimes
I wonder if we live in the Matrix. Hey, thanks
3
::[Robb]: for coming to another show of Don't
Get This Wicked. I am Rob, along with my co-host
4
::[Robb]: as always, Tina. How are you doing?
5
::[Tina m Garcia]: I'm tired, but I'm doing good.
I'm doing
6
::[Robb]: Yes,
7
::[Tina m Garcia]: good.
8
::[Robb]: because you went to the desert, you
went to the Las Vegas place.
9
::[Tina m Garcia]: Yeah, I was in Las Vegas with
friends from junior high. It was a good
10
::[Robb]: Wow.
11
::[Tina m Garcia]: time. It was a good time.
12
::[Robb]: I haven't been there in a long time.
13
::[Tina m Garcia]: since you moved from there.
14
::[Robb]: I know I went back a couple of times,
but it's probably been, well, see, I've been
15
::[Robb]: here almost three, it's probably been
like eight years.
16
::[Tina m Garcia]: Wow.
17
::[Robb]: And I live closer to it now than I've
ever lived.
18
::[Tina m Garcia]: Yeah,
19
::[Robb]: So
20
::[Tina m Garcia]: we went, we
21
::[Robb]: I don't
22
::[Tina m Garcia]: went
23
::[Robb]: know.
24
::[Tina m Garcia]: and this was the first time
there was no traffic, there was no drama with
25
::[Tina m Garcia]: the car, like we literally
flew there and flew home. It was fantastic.
26
::[Tina m Garcia]: So
27
::[Robb]: That's pretty cool.
28
::[Tina m Garcia]: and it was a really good time.
29
::[Robb]: I'm just not a big fan of hotels. Like
I'm
30
::[Tina m Garcia]: Mm-hmm.
31
::[Robb]: a fan of them, but I'm just not a fan
of paying.
32
::[Tina m Garcia]: Mm-hmm.
33
::[Robb]: And they're so expensive. So I know
people there, but I really haven't talked to
34
::[Robb]: them in a long time. So it's like, but
I'd like to go and see some people because
35
::[Robb]: I haven't seen some friends for, like
I said, eight years.
36
::[Tina m Garcia]: Yeah.
37
::[Robb]: So it'll be fun.
38
::[Tina m Garcia]: I getcha.
39
::[Robb]: Hey, so we're gonna talk common sense
today because we were talking before we got
40
::[Robb]: on here and how there's kind of a lack
thereof.
41
::[Tina m Garcia]: Yes.
42
::[Robb]: A small bit, right? I'm trying to find
like
43
::[Tina m Garcia]: Well,
44
::[Robb]: a good definition of it.
45
::[Tina m Garcia]: put people on the road and
you see how much common sense is not common.
46
::[Tina m Garcia]: Oh my God.
47
::[Robb]: I mean, yeah.
48
::[Tina m Garcia]: You know, I think every generation
says that it's worse and worse with the generation
49
::[Tina m Garcia]: that's coming up. But there's
so much traffic where we live now that... They're
50
::[Tina m Garcia]: you're bound to see an idiot
every time you get in a car, you know, that
51
::[Tina m Garcia]: doesn't have common sense It's
doing the wrong thing is just a stupid maneuver
52
::[Tina m Garcia]: that could cost somebody a
life like I've I've been on the road a lot,
53
::[Tina m Garcia]: you know Just going back and
forth to Vegas and the things that I'm seeing
54
::[Tina m Garcia]: I'm just like aren't you using
your brain at all? Good news is you kind of
55
::[Tina m Garcia]: could see it coming. So you
get out of a person's way and just hope that
56
::[Tina m Garcia]: uh they get wherever they gotta
go without having any problems but man people
57
::[Tina m Garcia]: on the road not using common
sense, good judgment, it's scary. It's scary.
58
::[Robb]: Very much so. I mean, almost to the
degree where you see the lack of common sense
59
::[Robb]: daily. It's crazy.
60
::[Tina m Garcia]: Mm-hmm
61
::[Robb]: So here's the Webster's Dictionary version
of it. Sound and prudent judgment based on
62
::[Robb]: a simple perception of the situation
or facts. Pretty easy,
63
::[Tina m Garcia]: Okay,
64
::[Robb]: I mean.
65
::[Tina m Garcia]: right.
66
::[Robb]: So, like, and here's, this is their
sentence of giving it in usage. It says, so
67
::[Robb]: far, I've had the common sense not to
tweet anything ghastly. Ooh, ghastly. Ghastly,
68
::[Tina m Garcia]: Gasly.
69
::[Robb]: I say. Ghastly. So I think, look, we
live in a society where people... use the internet
70
::[Robb]: for their fact checking and or their
way of always getting information
71
::[Tina m Garcia]: Mm-hmm.
72
::[Robb]: when sometimes it really is just common
sense to say, look, it's this way. Or if you're
73
::[Robb]: doing something to go, hey, it's common
sense to do this while you're here. It's like...
74
::[Robb]: You were gone over the weekend and you
stayed in a place that wasn't a hotel. It's
75
::[Robb]: common
76
::[Tina m Garcia]: Right.
77
::[Robb]: sense to leave it clean.
78
::[Tina m Garcia]: Absolutely.
79
::[Robb]: But I guarantee you, a lot of people
would not have that common sense.
80
::[Tina m Garcia]: Yeah, no absolutely.
81
::[Robb]: And I think we're finding more and more
that people aren't using their better judgment
82
::[Robb]: when it's trying to break down the simplest
of things. Like,
83
::[Tina m Garcia]: Mm-hmm
84
::[Robb]: as much as like if you. are doing something
and there's trash on the floor, the common
85
::[Robb]: sense is to pick it up.
86
::[Tina m Garcia]: Right, you don't want your
house to
87
::[Robb]: Eh.
88
::[Tina m Garcia]: look like nobody cares
89
::[Robb]: Yeah.
90
::[Tina m Garcia]: about it. Or
91
::[Robb]: Eh,
92
::[Tina m Garcia]: that you
93
::[Robb]: eh,
94
::[Tina m Garcia]: don't care
95
::[Robb]: eh.
96
::[Tina m Garcia]: about yourself.
97
::[Robb]: Yeah, it's kind of like in a lot of
apartment buildings or something, you'll see
98
::[Robb]: like a sign that says, pick up your
dog poop,
99
::[Tina m Garcia]: Mm-hmm.
100
::[Robb]: right? Because there's a lot of dumb
people that just leave it just,
101
::[Tina m Garcia]: Do you really
102
::[Robb]: and it's
103
::[Tina m Garcia]: think
104
::[Robb]: everywhere.
105
::[Tina m Garcia]: that they do it just because
the sign is there though?
106
::[Robb]: No, no, no. I'm just saying the common
sense would be if your dog craps on the ground,
107
::[Robb]: you pick it up. And
108
::[Tina m Garcia]: Mm-hmm.
109
::[Robb]: this is not just here. It's anywhere.
I've seen it at a dog park where like it's
110
::[Robb]: everywhere. And like the whole point
is that you don't want to step in it or, or
111
::[Robb]: have your dog run through it. So the
common sense would be watch your dog and when
112
::[Robb]: he poops, you pick it up.
113
::[Tina m Garcia]: Exactly.
114
::[Robb]: So like for me, I mean, I don't live
in a house, so I don't have to worry about
115
::[Robb]: that. But if I owned a home, I think
I would just follow the dog out. And when he
116
::[Robb]: poops, pick it up in a plastic bag like
always and dump it, not leave it out in the
117
::[Robb]: yard and say, I'll get it later on.
Just
118
::[Tina m Garcia]: Right.
119
::[Robb]: do it while you're there. Cause to me
that's common sense. So I think, I hate to
120
::[Robb]: always break back to our generation.
but I think we were taught more common sense,
121
::[Robb]: or it was beaten into our heads more.
And I think my son probably has a little bit
122
::[Robb]: of that as well because I tried, but
even that is
123
::[Tina m Garcia]: Or we
124
::[Robb]: not
125
::[Tina m Garcia]: learn
126
::[Robb]: right.
127
::[Tina m Garcia]: from making mistakes, because
back then we were allowed to make them. And
128
::[Tina m Garcia]: it was okay to own it, that
you made a mistake, that you did something
129
::[Tina m Garcia]: wrong, that you had a problem
or something that happened. We were allowed
130
::[Tina m Garcia]: to do that. Now it's like,
don't do this, wash your hands, don't do that,
131
::[Tina m Garcia]: do all these things. I don't,
I remember one summer, I don't think my brother
132
::[Tina m Garcia]: bathed more than a couple times
because he thought being in the pool every
133
::[Tina m Garcia]: day was enough and nobody said
anything to him, you know what I mean? They
134
::[Tina m Garcia]: were, we were out all the time
so
135
::[Robb]: Uh...
136
::[Tina m Garcia]: I think we were allowed to
make mistakes so we learned common sense from
137
::[Tina m Garcia]: making them.
138
::[Robb]: Probably, but I also think that our
parents would be, if you were all doing something,
139
::[Robb]: and your parents thought you should
be doing something to help, they would go to
140
::[Robb]: you and go, what do you think you should
be doing?
141
::[Tina m Garcia]: Yeah.
142
::[Robb]: So the lead question was, you should
probably be doing something. The common sense
143
::[Robb]: is what? If we're
144
::[Tina m Garcia]: Yeah.
145
::[Robb]: all cleaning up after everybody ate
by the pool, you should be one of the ones
146
::[Robb]: picking the plates up.
147
::[Tina m Garcia]: Yeah.
148
::[Robb]: Like, it's common sense. There's just
a lack there of it, and you're right, it's
149
::[Robb]: across the board. Get on the freeway.
There's
150
::[Tina m Garcia]: Mm-hmm.
151
::[Robb]: absolutely zero common sense. You know,
the common sense would be to, you know, not
152
::[Robb]: get on the freeway and go five lanes
over all at once. You know,
153
::[Tina m Garcia]: Right?
154
::[Robb]: or. you know, not do 110 on the freeway
in the morning traffic.
155
::[Tina m Garcia]: So this is what I saw on the
freeway just the other day. I was right in
156
::[Tina m Garcia]: front of a police officer who
started doing the... round robin trying to
157
::[Tina m Garcia]: get Everybody on the freeway
to stop right and he was doing his thing and
158
::[Tina m Garcia]: doing his thing back and forth
But the people I was one of the closest ones
159
::[Tina m Garcia]: to him when he started But
the people were kind of kind of trying to sneak
160
::[Tina m Garcia]: through it like they were You
know They were right up on his ass while he's
161
::[Tina m Garcia]: trying to slow everybody down
To the point where he had to like physically
162
::[Tina m Garcia]: point at people and like shake
his finger to stop so that you know, stop the
163
::[Tina m Garcia]: traffic he needed to. And I
thought to myself, I'm like five, at least
164
::[Tina m Garcia]: five cars behind these people
that are pushing up on the police officer.
165
::[Tina m Garcia]: And I was like, why didn't
they just do what they needed to do? Stop the
166
::[Tina m Garcia]: traffic for a minute. Let them
grab what was, it was a bumper was right in
167
::[Tina m Garcia]: the middle of two lanes. He
was trying to get that out of the road and,
168
::[Tina m Garcia]: and then we'd be back on our
way, but they made it such a hassle. that I
169
::[Tina m Garcia]: was surprised he didn't pull
people over and start writing tickets. I don't
170
::[Tina m Garcia]: know why people do that. Like
back the fuck up. Common senses.
171
::[Robb]: Yeah, Common Sense says you probably
shouldn't be riding the bumper of a police
172
::[Robb]: officer.
173
::[Tina m Garcia]: Yeah. Yeah, it was insane.
174
::[Robb]: Or how many people do you think get
hit by cars, you know, walking across a roadway
175
::[Robb]: or walking across the freeway?
176
::[Tina m Garcia]: Mm-hmm.
177
::[Robb]: But, you know, again, where common sense
doesn't kick in when you're just, you know,
178
::[Robb]: and for whatever reason, and I'm not
just saying, like, there's stressful situations
179
::[Robb]: that common sense gets thrown out the
window, where, you know. I'll give you the
180
::[Robb]: perfect example is when a guy wants
to see a girl, common sense gets thrown out
181
::[Robb]: the window, right? Because we're in
la-la land. Women will make men forget that
182
::[Robb]: their right and left feet are different.
183
::[Tina m Garcia]: Mm-hmm.
184
::[Robb]: Common sense gets thrown out. So, I
get it, but I think on the level of how do
185
::[Robb]: we teach common sense? And it's kind
of that's kind of an oxymoron, right? Because
186
::[Robb]: we really shouldn't have to teach it.
187
::[Tina m Garcia]: Exactly, exactly.
188
::[Robb]: but it's missing, you know,
189
::[Tina m Garcia]: But
190
::[Robb]: deduction
191
::[Tina m Garcia]: I think allowing
192
::[Robb]: skills.
193
::[Tina m Garcia]: people to make. Allowing people
to make mistakes or kids to make mistakes I
194
::[Tina m Garcia]: think that helps them because
they're gonna figure out oh, I'm not gonna
195
::[Tina m Garcia]: do that because one it hurt
two I broke a bone or three. I got in trouble,
196
::[Tina m Garcia]: you know, whatever it is and
and Suffered consequences because of it and
197
::[Tina m Garcia]: that's how it seems like that's
how people start to use their thinking to their
198
::[Tina m Garcia]: advantage Like they're they
learn it from messing up And I see that these
199
::[Tina m Garcia]: kids don't ever go anywhere
to mess anything up. They don't, they don't
200
::[Robb]: Sure.
201
::[Tina m Garcia]: have a life outside of whatever
device they're on the internet with. And so
202
::[Tina m Garcia]: how's anybody going to have
any common sense if they're not actively learning?
203
::[Robb]: Sure, and you're right. Look, I think
even as adults, we have a lack of common sense
204
::[Robb]: when it comes to some things.
205
::[Tina m Garcia]: Mm-hmm.
206
::[Robb]: And that's due to either not experiencing
things, having someone do it for years for
207
::[Robb]: you. So when you get thrown into the
situation now, there is no common sense about
208
::[Robb]: it because you've never lived it. So
you're probably
209
::[Tina m Garcia]: Mm-hmm.
210
::[Robb]: right. Like there is something about...
having these situations happen to you. So the
211
::[Robb]: next time you use your common sense,
you know what I mean? Like, now I think you're
212
::[Robb]: totally right. Part of common sense
is making the mistakes.
213
::[Tina m Garcia]: Mm-hmm
214
::[Robb]: But going forward, common sense, I think,
once you make the mistake, you can't
215
::[Tina m Garcia]: What did you
216
::[Robb]: make
217
::[Tina m Garcia]: learn?
218
::[Robb]: that same mistake, yeah.
219
::[Tina m Garcia]: Yeah, just
220
::[Robb]: How many
221
::[Tina m Garcia]: ask
222
::[Robb]: times
223
::[Tina m Garcia]: yourself,
224
::[Robb]: do you
225
::[Tina m Garcia]: what
226
::[Robb]: have
227
::[Tina m Garcia]: did
228
::[Robb]: to,
229
::[Tina m Garcia]: you learn?
230
::[Robb]: how many times do you have to smack
your hand with a hammer to realize it hurts?
231
::[Tina m Garcia]: Oh man, I learned that the
first time. I remember that.
232
::[Robb]: Yeah, yeah, exactly.
233
::[Tina m Garcia]: Yep.
234
::[Robb]: The next time you held the nail differently,
you
235
::[Tina m Garcia]: Absolutely.
236
::[Robb]: were like,
237
::[Tina m Garcia]: Actually, I had
238
::[Robb]: or,
239
::[Tina m Garcia]: somebody else hold it.
240
::[Robb]: yeah, or you didn't smack it hard, you
barely tapped it
241
::[Tina m Garcia]: Tapped
242
::[Robb]: in,
243
::[Tina m Garcia]: it
244
::[Robb]: so
245
::[Tina m Garcia]: in,
246
::[Robb]: you,
247
::[Tina m Garcia]: yeah.
248
::[Robb]: yeah, so you understood, I don't wanna
hit my thumb with a hammer again, but your
249
::[Robb]: common sense kicked in. Your common
sense
250
::[Tina m Garcia]: Right.
251
::[Robb]: was, and I think that goes across the
board with, after you do something like that,
252
::[Robb]: your common sense with other kinds of
tools or other kinds of things. Like
253
::[Tina m Garcia]: Mm-hmm.
254
::[Robb]: for some reason, I like to cut my thumb
because how I cut my chicken, I kind of, I
255
::[Robb]: kind of butterfly it
256
::[Tina m Garcia]: Mm-hmm.
257
::[Robb]: and because I like to stick either peppers
inside or whatever when I cook it. So I always
258
::[Robb]: cut it and I butterfly it. And... Twice
I have cut my thumb, and I mean deep, like
259
::[Robb]: good. I probably should have got
260
::[Tina m Garcia]: Mm.
261
::[Robb]: stitches on one time. And both of them,
when I did it right before I went on vacation,
262
::[Robb]: both times. So
263
::[Tina m Garcia]: and we'll
264
::[Robb]: both
265
::[Tina m Garcia]: see your
266
::[Robb]: times
267
::[Tina m Garcia]: brain
268
::[Robb]: I
269
::[Tina m Garcia]: with
270
::[Robb]: went to
271
::[Tina m Garcia]: some
272
::[Robb]: see
273
::[Tina m Garcia]: routes.
274
::[Robb]: my friend and my thumb was wrapped up,
and I remember getting there and my friend,
275
::[Robb]: she was like, what the hell happened?
I was like, I was cutting chicken again. So
276
::[Robb]: common sense didn't kick in. My common
sense was, you know you're not supposed to
277
::[Robb]: hold the... chicken like that when you're
cutting it, you're supposed to cut it this
278
::[Robb]: way. So
279
::[Tina m Garcia]: Mm-hmm.
280
::[Robb]: since then, which was about a year ago,
the last time that I'd cut my thumb, I now
281
::[Robb]: think about it every single time I cut
that chicken, that I hold the knife a certain
282
::[Robb]: way and
283
::[Tina m Garcia]: Yeah.
284
::[Robb]: how I go through it and where my fingers
are. It's just a different thing, because I
285
::[Robb]: did a number on it. I asked my friend
who's a nurse at USC, right after I cut it
286
::[Robb]: the first time. And I had sent her a
picture of my thumb and even she was like,
287
::[Robb]: you're going to the doctor, right? And
I was like,
288
::[Tina m Garcia]: Mm.
289
::[Robb]: nah, it's not that bad. And it shouldn't
be that bad. And it was gnarly. I know I should
290
::[Robb]: have. Common sense should have kicked
in and said go to the doctor and get stitches.
291
::[Tina m Garcia]: Yeah.
292
::[Robb]: Is what should have happened.
293
::[Tina m Garcia]: should
294
::[Robb]: But
295
::[Tina m Garcia]: have.
296
::[Robb]: like I said, I think, do you think men
or women have more common sense?
297
::[Tina m Garcia]: Ooh, you're gonna make it a
gender question. You know,
298
::[Robb]: Well, because
299
::[Tina m Garcia]: um, I've seen
300
::[Robb]: I have
301
::[Tina m Garcia]: it
302
::[Robb]: my own answer.
303
::[Tina m Garcia]: I've seen it in both like when
when a woman is dealing with a child that's
304
::[Tina m Garcia]: sick for the most part in my
in my Experience women no more. They're more
305
::[Tina m Garcia]: in tuned with their with their
you know, their children or with Taking care
306
::[Tina m Garcia]: of children that they they
naturally have an instinct that it kicks in
307
::[Tina m Garcia]: to help them care for it that
men I don't think completely have at least
308
::[Tina m Garcia]: not the majority from what
I've experienced but common sense With other
309
::[Tina m Garcia]: things I would say a man has
it. I think it for me. It just depends on what
310
::[Tina m Garcia]: the situation is
311
::[Robb]: Correct,
312
::[Tina m Garcia]: As to who
313
::[Robb]: I'll
314
::[Tina m Garcia]: I would
315
::[Robb]: agree
316
::[Tina m Garcia]: say
317
::[Robb]: with
318
::[Tina m Garcia]: would
319
::[Robb]: you.
320
::[Tina m Garcia]: be who would be better at it,
you know but I've
321
::[Robb]: Right.
322
::[Tina m Garcia]: seen men be really good knowing
what their kids need and I've seen women being
323
::[Tina m Garcia]: really good with fixing a car
or taking care of things that could go wrong
324
::[Tina m Garcia]: before it happens So it it
is a gender thing to some degree, but it really
325
::[Tina m Garcia]: isn't a gender thing
326
::[Robb]: Mm-hmm.
327
::[Tina m Garcia]: I don't
328
::[Robb]: I think
329
::[Tina m Garcia]: I don't believe
330
::[Robb]: I think when it comes to doing stupid
shit Men have no common sense Like look at
331
::[Robb]: the internet like I saw this I don't
know if I sent it to you or not but it was
332
::[Robb]: the guy who got in the big huge plastic
bubble ball and
333
::[Tina m Garcia]: Oh my
334
::[Robb]: They hit him with a car
335
::[Tina m Garcia]: god. And he got launched into
a tree.
336
::[Robb]: In the
337
::[Tina m Garcia]: HAHAHAHA
338
::[Robb]: tree so common sense would say don't
do it, right? It would be like,
339
::[Tina m Garcia]: Yeah.
340
::[Robb]: like don't do it. But
341
::[Tina m Garcia]: Right?
342
::[Robb]: when it comes to stupid shit like that,
men have zero common sense. That's why you
343
::[Robb]: guys live longer. Like we'll jump off
bridges, you know, ride bikes down like super
344
::[Robb]: vertical, it's just
345
::[Tina m Garcia]: Yeah,
346
::[Robb]: that kind
347
::[Tina m Garcia]: I would
348
::[Robb]: of stuff.
349
::[Tina m Garcia]: say the boys that I grew up
with were definitely more daredevilish than
350
::[Tina m Garcia]: I was.
351
::[Robb]: Right, because common sense says don't
jump off the roof.
352
::[Tina m Garcia]: Right, right.
353
::[Robb]: But we did, and I did it multiple times.
But I think when it comes to social situations,
354
::[Robb]: both sexes are very good at it, right?
Where you'll, common sense will say, don't
355
::[Robb]: say this to your girlfriend's boss.
You know what I mean? Like,
356
::[Tina m Garcia]: Yeah.
357
::[Robb]: and again, I'm using the bell curve
because, you know, look. We all say dumb shit
358
::[Robb]: because some of us have no filter where
you have to be reminded before you go into
359
::[Robb]: the Christmas party. Please don't say
anything to this person. And you're like, oh,
360
::[Robb]: okay, I'm not supposed to say anything
stupid because you have loose lips or common
361
::[Robb]: sense when it comes to drinking. Don't
drink 12 beers at the Christmas party.
362
::[Tina m Garcia]: Is that common sense?
363
::[Robb]: Yeah, it should be, but how many, how
many bad Christmas party stories have you heard?
364
::[Tina m Garcia]: I wish I had some.
365
::[Robb]: I don't have any about me, but I do
have some about
366
::[Robb]: people I worked with, and some good
ones, where you're just like, holy shit, man.
367
::[Robb]: Like, yeah, crazy ones.
368
::[Tina m Garcia]: I
369
::[Robb]: But
370
::[Tina m Garcia]: feel
371
::[Robb]: again,
372
::[Tina m Garcia]: like I'm
373
::[Robb]: come.
374
::[Tina m Garcia]: missing out.
375
::[Robb]: I mean. I've missed out on a lot of
stuff. I definitely started my doing dumb shit
376
::[Robb]: way later in life. So,
377
::[Tina m Garcia]: Mmm.
378
::[Robb]: but again, you know, I'm just as guilty.
Common sense is hey, don't try to get with
379
::[Robb]: the girl who's already got somebody.
Common sense should say that, but obviously
380
::[Robb]: it doesn't always work that way.
381
::[Tina m Garcia]: Okay, I'll give
382
::[Robb]: So,
383
::[Tina m Garcia]: you that.
384
::[Robb]: yeah.
385
::[Tina m Garcia]: But everybody has their, there's
always exceptions to rules and I don't know
386
::[Tina m Garcia]: if that's common sense or it's
just people pushing their luck. You know,
387
::[Robb]: No,
388
::[Tina m Garcia]: there's a difference or...
389
::[Robb]: it's common sense not to do it.
390
::[Tina m Garcia]: Right, right. I'll give you
that.
391
::[Robb]: But we do it because we have other motives.
Your brain will tell you one thing. Your brain
392
::[Robb]: will tell you don't jump off the fucking
building.
393
::[Tina m Garcia]: Mm-hmm.
394
::[Robb]: But people do it. So it's no different
with that kind of thing too. Like don't hit
395
::[Robb]: on the girl in the bar that's there
with a dude. Alcohol will... will make common
396
::[Robb]: sense disappear.
397
::[Tina m Garcia]: I get you.
398
::[Robb]: Next thing you know, you wake up the
next day with your eyes swollen shut. So I
399
::[Robb]: get it. I think it's a mix of a lot
of different things, but it's, it's to me,
400
::[Robb]: it's, it's getting less and less and
less prevalent in society. We're getting more
401
::[Robb]: things that should be common sense that
people are either ignoring because they think
402
::[Robb]: that they don't have to. Or it's just
we're not as smart when it comes to thinking
403
::[Robb]: out problems before we do something.
404
::[Tina m Garcia]: Right?
405
::[Robb]: Because to me that's what common sense
is. Common sense is like, look it's right there
406
::[Robb]: in front of you. It's kind of like reading
manuals. The business I'm in, you know how
407
::[Robb]: many phone calls I get every day? They're
like, hey, we got this thing and it's not working,
408
::[Robb]: so we thought we'd call you. And I go.
did you call the manufacturer? Or did you read
409
::[Robb]: the manual? They're like, no, we just
thought we'd talk to you. I was like, why?
410
::[Robb]: I didn't make it, I only sell it. The
411
::[Tina m Garcia]: Hmm.
412
::[Robb]: people who make it should be common
senses to call them first so you're not on
413
::[Robb]: the phone with me for 15 minutes when
you could be talking to them. So those to me
414
::[Robb]: are the things that are just, if you
just step back for a second, common sense should
415
::[Robb]: kick in.
416
::[Tina m Garcia]: I agree.
417
::[Robb]: but I think maybe we're all just in
such a hurry to get to whatever it is we're
418
::[Robb]: doing. Maybe we just miss the step of
common sense. Maybe that's the bigger thing.
419
::[Robb]: Maybe people aren't stupid.
420
::[Tina m Garcia]: Maybe we're just so rushed
that we don't have a minute to make a real
421
::[Tina m Garcia]: decision. You know, not all
decisions should be made like, like on the
422
::[Tina m Garcia]: fly, just boom right now made,
you know,
423
::[Robb]: I
424
::[Tina m Garcia]: and,
425
::[Robb]: agree.
426
::[Tina m Garcia]: and I don't think we live in
a world where we're allowed to think about
427
::[Tina m Garcia]: anything. It has to be right
now. And we want it delivered because nobody
428
::[Tina m Garcia]: wants to go pick it up either.
So whatever we do it, you know, we should have
429
::[Tina m Garcia]: zero to no effort to get it.
And that's, that's, uh, that's great. You know,
430
::[Tina m Garcia]: if you need something in a
pinch, but does it teach you to like go without?
431
::[Tina m Garcia]: Does it teach you to come up
with a different, a different angle or do something
432
::[Tina m Garcia]: different? It totally doesn't.
So it's. you know, how are you ever going to
433
::[Tina m Garcia]: learn if you get what you want
all the time and you don't have to do anything
434
::[Tina m Garcia]: for it.
435
::[Robb]: Well, and I think you're correct. We
live in a society where, you know, Amazon is
436
::[Robb]: same day or the next day.
437
::[Tina m Garcia]: Mm-hmm
438
::[Robb]: You want food, you don't have to drive
to get it. You can just
439
::[Tina m Garcia]: Mm-hmm.
440
::[Robb]: pay way, way, way, way, way, way, way,
way, way, way, way, way, way more.
441
::[Tina m Garcia]: Thank you. Bye.
442
::[Robb]: Or to me, common sense is get in your
car and go pick it up.
443
::[Tina m Garcia]: Well, there you go.
444
::[Robb]: You know, and look, I, and I'm using
the, you know, eight to two rule. Eight times
445
::[Robb]: out of the ten, you can go get it. There's
the two times where you're just busy at work
446
::[Robb]: and you order food because it's better
for you.
447
::[Tina m Garcia]: Yeah.
448
::[Robb]: But common sense should be like, look,
it's gonna cost me $12 more when the restaurant
449
::[Robb]: is around the block. And there's
450
::[Tina m Garcia]: and
451
::[Robb]: a
452
::[Tina m Garcia]: I'm
453
::[Robb]: dude at
454
::[Tina m Garcia]: just
455
::[Robb]: my
456
::[Tina m Garcia]: being
457
::[Robb]: work,
458
::[Tina m Garcia]: lazy.
459
::[Robb]: there's a dude at my work, he will order
on that shit all the time, when literally it's
460
::[Robb]: around the corner or five minutes from
my work.
461
::[Tina m Garcia]: Mmm.
462
::[Robb]: So. I don't know, I think it's a weird
thing. That's all, I just think that it's such
463
::[Robb]: a lack of common sense now that it's
being perpetuated, like in our youth. Like
464
::[Tina m Garcia]: Mm-hmm
465
::[Robb]: none of them can solve a problem, but
they know how to find it on the internet. But
466
::[Tina m Garcia]: Yeah.
467
::[Robb]: it's the simple things that you can't
find the answer on the internet because the
468
::[Robb]: common sense is, like I'll give you
an example. You have someone coming over that
469
::[Robb]: you haven't seen in a while or is going
to stay for a couple days. Common sense is
470
::[Robb]: clean the house. Make it look nice.
471
::[Tina m Garcia]: Right?
472
::[Robb]: Make sure that there's toilet paper
in a bathroom. Clean your toilet. Like things
473
::[Robb]: that are very, very simple common sense
that I've seen people not do.
474
::[Tina m Garcia]: Mm-hmm.
475
::[Robb]: And it blows me away. I'm like, your
friend is coming over. Like my kid, I love
476
::[Robb]: him to death, but sometimes he just
doesn't think. I'm like, dude, it's, you have
477
::[Robb]: females coming over, clean your shit.
Like just make it look nice, make it smell
478
::[Robb]: pretty. But no, no common sense. So
479
::[Tina m Garcia]: Mmm.
480
::[Robb]: I don't know, maybe that's just me.
And maybe I didn't learn that until later.
481
::[Robb]: Maybe I'm just jumping the gun. But
if I have a female coming over here, I make
482
::[Robb]: sure. I clean up everything around make
sure that I spray the fucking furniture with
483
::[Robb]: the smelly good stuff. I
484
::[Tina m Garcia]: Hehehe
485
::[Robb]: put a candle on I clean the bathrooms
Because I want to make an impression
486
::[Tina m Garcia]: Right,
487
::[Robb]: You know
488
::[Tina m Garcia]: and a good one.
489
::[Robb]: and
490
::[Tina m Garcia]: You
491
::[Robb]: look
492
::[Tina m Garcia]: don't want
493
::[Robb]: and
494
::[Tina m Garcia]: to
495
::[Robb]: Yeah,
496
::[Tina m Garcia]: have somebody
497
::[Robb]: and
498
::[Tina m Garcia]: walk
499
::[Robb]: and here's
500
::[Tina m Garcia]: into your place and it smells
like ass and dirty feet. Like, come on.
501
::[Robb]: Yeah, and common sense is clean it all
the time. But if you know someone's coming,
502
::[Robb]: there should be more urgency. And I
think that common sense and urgency kind of
503
::[Robb]: walk hand in hand, where. So, I think
that's a good point. I think that's a good
504
::[Robb]: point. It's just not there anymore.
And I mean, I work with a small group of people,
505
::[Robb]: so I think common sense is a little
easier to see, or you do things because you
506
::[Robb]: have such a small crew. But when you
start getting large amounts of people, common
507
::[Robb]: sense just disappears.
508
::[Tina m Garcia]: Mm-hmm.
509
::[Robb]: And I don't know why, because I remember
when I worked in a place that had We had a
510
::[Robb]: lot of people, we had like 35 people
that worked in one place. Common sense gets
511
::[Robb]: thrown out the window because I think
most people go, well, they'll just do it.
512
::[Tina m Garcia]: Mm-hmm.
513
::[Robb]: Well, they'll just do it. Or, I didn't
know I had to do that. It's like, well, yeah,
514
::[Robb]: you did. Or, why didn't you see that
you had to do that? I don't know. And I know
515
::[Robb]: you work in a place where you have quite
a few people that are in the building at the
516
::[Robb]: same time.
517
::[Tina m Garcia]: Oh yeah, lots of people. But
I don't really,
518
::[Robb]: you know, common sense.
519
::[Tina m Garcia]: yeah, clean up after yourself
for sure. That's a big one.
520
::[Robb]: Yeah, I mean,
521
::[Tina m Garcia]: Don't
522
::[Robb]: and
523
::[Tina m Garcia]: try
524
::[Robb]: I'm
525
::[Tina m Garcia]: to
526
::[Robb]: sure
527
::[Tina m Garcia]: take
528
::[Robb]: that
529
::[Tina m Garcia]: other
530
::[Robb]: people...
531
::[Tina m Garcia]: people's clients, but be nice
to everybody.
532
::[Robb]: Mm-hmm.
533
::[Tina m Garcia]: You know, it's a golden rule
sort of thing.
534
::[Robb]: But I think common sense and the golden
rule also walk hand in hand. You know what
535
::[Tina m Garcia]: Yeah,
536
::[Robb]: I mean? Like use
537
::[Tina m Garcia]: but
538
::[Robb]: your
539
::[Tina m Garcia]: common
540
::[Robb]: brain.
541
::[Tina m Garcia]: sense also says pay attention
to when your clients are walking in and in
542
::[Tina m Garcia]: or out so that you're the one
that gets to pay attention to them if you don't.
543
::[Robb]: Mm-hmm.
544
::[Tina m Garcia]: Common sense says they'll go
somewhere else, you know, there's
545
::[Robb]: Yeah, or they'll wait for whoever's
there to help them to help them.
546
::[Tina m Garcia]: Mm-hmm.
547
::[Robb]: You know, I mean, where I work, I don't
have to really worry about, because all of
548
::[Robb]: our clients are clients, because we're
not
549
::[Tina m Garcia]: Mm-hmm.
550
::[Robb]: commission based. So,
551
::[Tina m Garcia]: Right, right.
552
::[Robb]: whether I help them or someone else
helps them, it doesn't matter. But, you know,
553
::[Robb]: there's also other common sense when
it comes to things in the world. Like, you
554
::[Robb]: should just look around more. because
I think if we all started looking around more,
555
::[Robb]: common sense would kick in.
556
::[Tina m Garcia]: There you go,
557
::[Robb]: maybe
558
::[Tina m Garcia]: from
559
::[Robb]: slow
560
::[Tina m Garcia]: experiences,
561
::[Robb]: down a little bit.
562
::[Tina m Garcia]: yeah.
563
::[Robb]: Because you know, and it's with everything.
It's with what you do in the morning, relationships
564
::[Robb]: in life, your work life. All these things
are common sense. You know not
565
::[Tina m Garcia]: Mm-hmm.
566
::[Robb]: to go to work and yell at a boss because
common sense says they're gonna fire you, right?
567
::[Tina m Garcia]: Right?
568
::[Robb]: Common
569
::[Tina m Garcia]: Yeah.
570
::[Robb]: sense, if you're in a shitty relationship,
you get out of it. It's common sense. It doesn't
571
::[Tina m Garcia]: Well,
572
::[Robb]: take much.
573
::[Tina m Garcia]: we've talked about that. Common
sense is not very common in those situations
574
::[Tina m Garcia]: at all.
575
::[Robb]: That's what I'm saying. And look, there's
always something manipulating common sense
576
::[Robb]: on both of those. At work, you know,
people push their luck at work all the time.
577
::[Robb]: They'll push and push and see how much
they can get away with. It's like small children.
578
::[Robb]: Because they'll take a step and they'll
go, well, I didn't get fired for this. Take
579
::[Robb]: another step.
580
::[Tina m Garcia]: Right?
581
::[Robb]: But common sense should tell you that
if you keep taking a step, you're gonna get
582
::[Robb]: fired. Like, you can only go so far.
And it's the same in a relationship. You can
583
::[Robb]: only do so much in a relationship or
do so much to somebody until common sense kicks
584
::[Robb]: in and they're going to kick your ass
to the curb. Because they can't
585
::[Tina m Garcia]: Mm-hmm
586
::[Robb]: take being shit on all the time or not
paying rent or whatever, whatever the thing
587
::[Robb]: is. So. But a lot of us don't act on
that common sense for whatever reason.
588
::[Tina m Garcia]: That's true.
589
::[Robb]: Because it's hard, you know? I just
wish that the minor stuff would be easier for
590
::[Robb]: people. Like you said, drive into work.
Common sense is don't try to kill the people
591
::[Robb]: that are on the road with you.
592
::[Tina m Garcia]: Mm-hmm.
593
::[Robb]: Common sense is if you don't know how
to do something, we have a way of finding out
594
::[Robb]: to do it. You don't. You don't go, well
I just didn't do it because I didn't know what
595
::[Robb]: to do.
596
::[Tina m Garcia]: Mm-hmm.
597
::[Robb]: Common sense should kick in and go,
maybe I can find out because we live in a world
598
::[Robb]: of YouTube or online manuals
599
::[Tina m Garcia]: Right?
600
::[Robb]: or
601
::[Tina m Garcia]: And it's
602
::[Robb]: whatever.
603
::[Tina m Garcia]: not like everything isn't on
there.
604
::[Robb]: Yeah, there's an answer for everything.
And I think that's just in life. There's answers
605
::[Robb]: for you. You just have to be willing
to go far to find the answer.
606
::[Tina m Garcia]: Gotta
607
::[Robb]: And
608
::[Tina m Garcia]: use your common
609
::[Robb]: maybe
610
::[Tina m Garcia]: sense.
611
::[Robb]: you have to use your common sense. And
look, we're missing it. There's no doubt. I
612
::[Robb]: mean, the quote. in general in life
that we have all said is, man, what the fuck's
613
::[Robb]: happened to common sense?
614
::[Tina m Garcia]: Yeah, no that's
615
::[Robb]: It's
616
::[Tina m Garcia]: true.
617
::[Robb]: gone. You know,
618
::[Tina m Garcia]: It is.
619
::[Robb]: we have very big brains and don't use
them enough. So it's out there. I don't know
620
::[Robb]: how we get better, because this is a
quote that's probably been around, 50 years,
621
::[Robb]: 60 years, 100 years, because common
sense is not so common.
622
::[Tina m Garcia]: Mm-hmm.
623
::[Robb]: It's crazy. Maybe as we move forward,
I was hoping that we'd get smarter. Sometimes
624
::[Robb]: I wonder if we'll just not knuckle dragging
Neanderthal still. when it
625
::[Tina m Garcia]: Well,
626
::[Robb]: comes to
627
::[Tina m Garcia]: and how
628
::[Robb]: a lot
629
::[Tina m Garcia]: many
630
::[Robb]: of things.
631
::[Tina m Garcia]: generations does it take to
figure out something to where it's just in
632
::[Tina m Garcia]: there? You know what I mean?
Like, there's a lot.
633
::[Robb]: Lots.
634
::[Tina m Garcia]: Yeah.
635
::[Robb]: Lots, I think. I think it's, you know,
and again, you could have three generations
636
::[Robb]: of incredibly smart people. I mean,
we're free thinkers. So at some point, you're
637
::[Robb]: gonna free think. That's, like, we've
all done it. I, you know, look, I left my house
638
::[Robb]: thinking I knew everything.
639
::[Tina m Garcia]: Mmm.
640
::[Robb]: Right? Like, I just thought, there's,
I know, I know what I'm doing. And then I went
641
::[Robb]: through an eviction, and my common sense
should have kicked in when my dad said, hey,
642
::[Robb]: do you wanna come home for a little
while? But unfortunately, foolish pride gets
643
::[Robb]: in front of common sense all the time.
644
::[Tina m Garcia]: A lot of things get in front
of common sense.
645
::[Robb]: Yeah, so look,
646
::[Tina m Garcia]: Just add alcohol.
647
::[Robb]: oh yeah,
648
::[Tina m Garcia]: Hehe
649
::[Robb]: I mean, how many horrible text messages
have you sent drunk?
650
::[Tina m Garcia]: Me, I don't. I
651
::[Robb]: No?
652
::[Tina m Garcia]: don't, well, I don't
653
::[Robb]: How many
654
::[Tina m Garcia]: really
655
::[Robb]: have you
656
::[Tina m Garcia]: drink.
657
::[Robb]: got?
658
::[Tina m Garcia]: I don't get them either.
659
::[Robb]: No,
660
::[Tina m Garcia]: No.
661
::[Robb]: I've got a few good ones. I've got,
I usually get, if I get them, they're usually
662
::[Robb]: more I need to talk. Like they're not
wild ones. Like they're
663
::[Tina m Garcia]: I've
664
::[Robb]: not
665
::[Tina m Garcia]: gotten
666
::[Robb]: like. I'm not a
667
::[Tina m Garcia]: a couple,
668
::[Robb]: wild one.
669
::[Tina m Garcia]: like I've, I had a sex dream
that you were in and I was kind of taken
670
::[Robb]: Yeah,
671
::[Tina m Garcia]: back.
672
::[Robb]: that's a dumb one to send.
673
::[Tina m Garcia]: By that I'm
674
::[Robb]: That'll
675
::[Tina m Garcia]: like,
676
::[Robb]: get you in trouble.
677
::[Tina m Garcia]: well, well, they said that
like they they said I had I had a sex dream
678
::[Tina m Garcia]: I'm like, oh, yeah, they're
like, yeah, you were in it and I'm like Okay,
679
::[Tina m Garcia]: like I didn't know what to
say. So the only thing I figured the only thing
680
::[Tina m Garcia]: I came up with was I good It's
like
681
::[Robb]: hahahaha
682
::[Tina m Garcia]: well, well, what's the most
important thing right? It's a sex dream. Was
683
::[Robb]: Uhhh...
684
::[Tina m Garcia]: I good? So but Honestly, I
didn't know how to answer that to I did not
685
::[Tina m Garcia]: hope I'd answer that.
686
::[Robb]: I've sent some pretty dumb text messages
and not under the influence
687
::[Tina m Garcia]: I don't
688
::[Robb]: of
689
::[Tina m Garcia]: get
690
::[Robb]: alcohol.
691
::[Tina m Garcia]: enough dumb
692
::[Robb]: So my common
693
::[Tina m Garcia]: out there,
694
::[Robb]: sense
695
::[Tina m Garcia]: thank
696
::[Robb]: did
697
::[Tina m Garcia]: god.
698
::[Robb]: not kicked in. Oh, you're lucky. I've
sent some dumb ones. I got one, one of my favorite
699
::[Robb]: text messages I ever got was someone
text me from a women's bathroom at a bar.
700
::[Tina m Garcia]: Mmm.
701
::[Robb]: Yeah, and it was...
702
::[Robb]: It was actually not a bad, it wasn't
bad, it was just turmoil in life and relationship,
703
::[Robb]: that kind of thing. But it was definitely,
there was alcohol involved, because this person
704
::[Robb]: generally doesn't send me text messages
like that, unless alcohol
705
::[Tina m Garcia]: Mmm
706
::[Robb]: is involved. And then she's super duper
open and says things that she probably wishes
707
::[Robb]: she didn't, because. Look, alcohol is
a truth bomb,
708
::[Tina m Garcia]: Yep,
709
::[Robb]: generally.
710
::[Tina m Garcia]: it sure is.
711
::[Robb]: Most people say things that are very,
very true when they're on alcohol, and then
712
::[Robb]: have to find a way to backstep when
they are sober. But common sense, see I think
713
::[Robb]: when you're under the influence of alcohol,
common sense kicks in. because the common sense
714
::[Robb]: says, I need to tell this person how
I feel.
715
::[Tina m Garcia]: Yeah.
716
::[Robb]: Because common sense kicks in when you're
sober and says, I cannot say this shit to them
717
::[Robb]: because they're going to say this, this,
this, or this. So you're kind of right. I think
718
::[Robb]: alcohol, boy, is just a common sense
killer.
719
::[Tina m Garcia]: Mm-hmm.
720
::[Robb]: It'll make you say dumb shit. So.
721
::[Tina m Garcia]: dumb shit or exactly what you're
thinking. Because
722
::[Robb]: Yes,
723
::[Tina m Garcia]: I think
724
::[Robb]: but I think that that.
725
::[Tina m Garcia]: I think that when somebody
is drinking, you're absolutely right. It's
726
::[Tina m Garcia]: a truth, it's like truth serum.
But if that's
727
::[Robb]: Mm-hmm.
728
::[Tina m Garcia]: what's going through their
head and that's what they're feeling, they
729
::[Tina m Garcia]: should say that. I think that
as people, we're always worried about being
730
::[Tina m Garcia]: judged. And so we don't say,
if we have common sense, we don't say anything.
731
::[Tina m Garcia]: But sometimes I think it's
good to say what it is you're thinking because
732
::[Tina m Garcia]: I think it's ideas with somebody
that you're close to but if you're feeling
733
::[Tina m Garcia]: them too they should know that
because that changes the
734
::[Robb]: Yeah.
735
::[Tina m Garcia]: dynamic of things.
736
::[Robb]: I think that's when common sense kicks
in to say, hey, if I say this, this may happen,
737
::[Robb]: or if I say this, this may happen. Like
there's lots of reasons why in relationships
738
::[Robb]: or alcohol when common sense is involved,
you're saying things that you're probably feeling
739
::[Robb]: when you're drunk, but common sense,
when you're sober says, okay, if I say this,
740
::[Robb]: there's repercussions. When you're drunk,
you can always come back and go, oh, I was
741
::[Robb]: just drunk.
742
::[Tina m Garcia]: Mm-hmm Right But I always think
when people say things to me drunk I'm like
743
::[Tina m Garcia]: no matter if they say oh well
I was drunk or not. I believe what they're
744
::[Tina m Garcia]: saying I may not say that I'll
be like yeah, you were drunk no big deal, but
745
::[Tina m Garcia]: I believe it because
746
::[Robb]: Well, so do I, because
747
::[Tina m Garcia]: That's when you're at your
most
748
::[Robb]: it's,
749
::[Tina m Garcia]: raw and honest.
750
::[Robb]: yeah, it makes you uninhibited, where
you'll say exactly the feelings that are going
751
::[Robb]: through your mind. I mean, I've
752
::[Tina m Garcia]: Mm-hmm.
753
::[Robb]: got some pretty good text messages where
I was like, oh, okay, I didn't see that one
754
::[Robb]: coming. And then, of course, you just
get the, oh, I'm sorry, I said that last night.
755
::[Robb]: It's like, no, that's okay. And. Sometimes
you can't act on those because of whatever
756
::[Robb]: reason. They're employees of yours or
whatever. Like things come to where you can't
757
::[Robb]: or someone is in a bad relationship
and they tell you how they feel about you but
758
::[Robb]: they can't get out of where they're
at or whatever it is. Those are the things
759
::[Robb]: that common sense goes away when alcohol
is involved. And that's
760
::[Tina m Garcia]: Right.
761
::[Robb]: why most people use or try to use their
common sense when they're sober and go, if
762
::[Robb]: I say this, the repercussions are going
to be very bad and I would rather keep this
763
::[Robb]: person in my life than push them away.
So.
764
::[Tina m Garcia]: Mm-hmm.
765
::[Robb]: I just think that in general, common
sense is a lost art when it comes to all parts
766
::[Robb]: of life. And we need to start teaching
or showing, maybe not teaching, that's probably
767
::[Robb]: not the best way, because I think showing
how common sense works is how we can continue
768
::[Robb]: to drive forward where they're using
these
769
::[Robb]: Parts of deduction of going, okay, if
I'm over your friend's house and they cook
770
::[Robb]: dinner for you, help with dishes. That
should be common sense, or ask if they need
771
::[Robb]: help. Things like that where common
sense and morals or common sense and how things
772
::[Robb]: are done walk hand in hand. They're
the easy things that we should all see that
773
::[Robb]: we either. look blindly away from for
whatever reason, or you just don't understand
774
::[Robb]: the social cues in life. Social cues
or how things are done should be quite easy.
775
::[Tina m Garcia]: Right?
776
::[Robb]: Like, how do you hang a picture? Like,
common sense should be pretty simple. Like,
777
::[Robb]: it has a wire on the back, you put a
nail in and you hang the wire on it. These
778
::[Robb]: are easy things that, even though you've
never done them, we've all seen them or read
779
::[Robb]: about it or whatever. Mostly movies,
TV, things,
780
::[Tina m Garcia]: Right.
781
::[Robb]: or how your grandparents did it. So
I think common sense can be handed down. with
782
::[Tina m Garcia]: Right.
783
::[Robb]: the right.
784
::[Tina m Garcia]: I think the more interaction
a child has with their elders, the better they're
785
::[Tina m Garcia]: going to be. the more well-rounded
they're going to be as people to begin with
786
::[Tina m Garcia]: because somebody's putting
the time in to show them this is important,
787
::[Tina m Garcia]: that's important, you should
do this, you should do that but if you look
788
::[Tina m Garcia]: at a society as a whole we
don't really keep our elders around us, you
789
::[Tina m Garcia]: know, it's not that's not the
value or there's no value in it and people
790
::[Tina m Garcia]: don't do that and it's a shame
because they're missing out on education, they're
791
::[Tina m Garcia]: missing out on interaction,
they're missing out on love that they would
792
::[Tina m Garcia]: have if they just gave it a
chance.
793
::[Robb]: Right.
794
::[Tina m Garcia]: That and that having those
people around teaches you how to have common
795
::[Tina m Garcia]: sense teaches you how to do
the right thing Isn't afraid to tell you no,
796
::[Tina m Garcia]: you know, it seems like the
generation before you sees that the value in
797
::[Tina m Garcia]: in what you need to do so that
kids learn how to To connect and and to have
798
::[Tina m Garcia]: good relationships based on
respect and trust and and everything so I don't
799
::[Tina m Garcia]: know. I don't know that I really
don't think the common sense is going to get
800
::[Tina m Garcia]: any better than what it is
right now. I just don't
801
::[Robb]: I would
802
::[Tina m Garcia]: see
803
::[Robb]: have
804
::[Tina m Garcia]: that.
805
::[Robb]: to
806
::[Tina m Garcia]: Unless,
807
::[Robb]: agree with you.
808
::[Tina m Garcia]: unless as a society we start
to value that again.
809
::[Robb]: Yeah, start to value bringing people
together to show the rest of your clan how
810
::[Robb]: to do things and how to think things
out.
811
::[Tina m Garcia]: Well, not
812
::[Robb]: Like
813
::[Tina m Garcia]: only
814
::[Robb]: being
815
::[Tina m Garcia]: that,
816
::[Robb]: a free
817
::[Tina m Garcia]: but...
818
::[Robb]: thinker is great.
819
::[Tina m Garcia]: Yeah, it's true. But not only
that, but somebody that'll, that'll call bullshit
820
::[Tina m Garcia]: because there's, you know...
In our society, there's a lot of times we just
821
::[Tina m Garcia]: don't say anything because
it would be too much to deal with the person
822
::[Tina m Garcia]: that's acting like a fool,
instead of just calling it as we should. And
823
::[Tina m Garcia]: I think the older generations,
just one of the generations that would be like,
824
::[Tina m Garcia]: shut up. You're being an idiot,
you know, where the younger generations are
825
::[Tina m Garcia]: putting a stamp on the bullshit.
826
::[Robb]: Yeah, I also think that as your kids
get older, when you see the lack of common
827
::[Robb]: sense, instead of saying something,
we just do it for them.
828
::[Tina m Garcia]: that makes it even
829
::[Robb]: So
830
::[Tina m Garcia]: worse.
831
::[Robb]: yeah, you're not, their common sense
now is that they'll just do it if I just wait
832
::[Robb]: long enough.
833
::[Tina m Garcia]: Mm.
834
::[Robb]: And the reality of that is as you grow
older and you leave the house. Common sense
835
::[Robb]: kicks you in the nuts quick. When you
live alone or you have a family, it's like
836
::[Robb]: my daughters, they hated doing dishes.
And my whole thing was, you're gonna have to
837
::[Robb]: do dishes for the rest of your life.
If you're bitching about them now, you just
838
::[Robb]: wait.
839
::[Tina m Garcia]: Wait till you're 60.
840
::[Robb]: Yeah, because. Common sense is you're
gonna have to do your own dishes at some point.
841
::[Robb]: I'm not teaching you to do mine, I'm
teaching you that you need
842
::[Tina m Garcia]: They
843
::[Robb]: to
844
::[Tina m Garcia]: need
845
::[Robb]: do
846
::[Tina m Garcia]: to
847
::[Robb]: them
848
::[Tina m Garcia]: be done, yeah.
849
::[Robb]: for the future of everything. So, and
again, common sense kicked in later with them
850
::[Robb]: and they understood that it wasn't me
being mean, it was me teaching them a moment
851
::[Robb]: in life that you're gonna continue to
have to do these things.
852
::[Tina m Garcia]: Mm-hmm.
853
::[Robb]: You can't live on paper plates forever.
854
::[Tina m Garcia]: Right?
855
::[Robb]: Life is going to change. And I agree
with you, I hope common sense at least gets
856
::[Robb]: a little better where people are stepping
back, looking at the situation, think it out
857
::[Robb]: and make a decision
858
::[Tina m Garcia]: Mm-hmm.
859
::[Robb]: instead of holding back for too long
or rushing too quick. Everything
860
::[Tina m Garcia]: Mmm.
861
::[Robb]: needs to be a small band of common sense.
Think about it and then react.
862
::[Tina m Garcia]: how boring would that be though?
I mean come on.
863
::[Robb]: I mean, as a society, it'd be great.
As you and me and our friends that make rash
864
::[Robb]: decisions, yeah, it's great. But we're
also a lot older. I don't know if, my kid's
865
::[Robb]: generation, they're not jumping off
of roofs, but they're eating Tide Pods. You
866
::[Robb]: know what I mean? So, you
867
::[Tina m Garcia]: Again, where's
868
::[Robb]: know what
869
::[Tina m Garcia]: the
870
::[Robb]: I
871
::[Tina m Garcia]: common
872
::[Robb]: mean?
873
::[Tina m Garcia]: sense?
874
::[Robb]: There's none and you know, look at it
that way. I mean, we might've had broken legs,
875
::[Robb]: but they're dying of eating detergent.
Fucking crazy thing, no common sense. All right,
876
::[Tina m Garcia]: But...
877
::[Robb]: so, huh? Yeah,
878
::[Tina m Garcia]: I was
879
::[Robb]: yeah,
880
::[Tina m Garcia]: gonna say,
881
::[Robb]: yeah,
882
::[Tina m Garcia]: but
883
::[Robb]: yeah, yeah.
884
::[Tina m Garcia]: they still don't have their
licenses and our dumbasses are driving them
885
::[Tina m Garcia]: around, so how is that common
sense?
886
::[Robb]: That's very true. I know.
887
::[Tina m Garcia]: You know?
888
::[Robb]: No brains.
889
::[Tina m Garcia]: Nope.
890
::[Robb]: No brains.
891
::[Tina m Garcia]: But yeah, we should
892
::[Robb]: Yes.
893
::[Tina m Garcia]: wrap it up. Ha ha
894
::[Robb]: Wrap it up.
895
::[Tina m Garcia]: ha.
896
::[Robb]: Make
897
::[Tina m Garcia]: We
898
::[Robb]: sure
899
::[Tina m Garcia]: should
900
::[Robb]: you check
901
::[Tina m Garcia]: wrap
902
::[Robb]: out
903
::[Tina m Garcia]: it
904
::[Robb]: the
905
::[Tina m Garcia]: up.
906
