If you're feeling uncomfortable discussing payment it's because someone is trying to steal from you and they're counting on social conditioning to get away with it.

Everyone needs to watch the video Chemda was talking about, it’s so funny. We all need a Denita in our lives.

wowowow this was a great episode, where do I even start?!

Did I hear something bleeped out for the first time in the ad for ZipRecruiter??

Yesterday I heard something about anxiety that really helped me ... mine is less social anxiety these days, and more just generalized worry about how I'm falling short at doing everything. I'll keep myself up at night going over in my head on what I forgot, what I need to do or what went or will go wrong. And the tip that helped me was "instead of counting the worries, think about everything that went right and could go right." And I know it sounds dumb like someone saying to a sad person "well just be happy" but this legit helped me even if for a moment yesterday, I could feel my tension lessening and my racing heart slowing. It's a gratitude type of exercise and I'm going to stick with it.

Because I'm either a good mom or the worst, I listen to KATG in the car daily when me and my daughter are driving to and from school. She's 4 and a half. She heard today's episode and said "I wish Keith and Chemda came to MY school, you should invite them to my birthday party." She thinks you guys are the funniest ever, has named two dolls of hers after you and even has this little dollhouse they go in that they go in called The Keith and the Girl House.

I couldn't imagine booking a general comedian for a group of preschoolers! This was probably a bougie school in Jersey City that DEFINITELY did have the money to pay for this kind of shit.

But in case anyone needs hints on what makes kids laugh, boogers are on the right track. Burps, farts, poop, pee. When we listen to music in the car, her thing lately is to replace words in songs with poop, pee, fart, burp and crunch. So you could also be a low-rent version of Weird Al and make up songs like "Old Town Fart" and it'll be a hit to the preschool crowd.

That is awesome all over the place! Thanks for saying!

My grandpa was always hammered when he’d take me squirrel hunting. I’d usually have to drive us back home. Hunters are supposed to wear a certain number of square inches of blaze orange to stick out to other hunters. Mistakenly shooting a friend while hunting is fucking nuts and happens all the time. I’d say most often it’s an accidental discharge while climbing over a fence. But not being what’s in the sight picture and just pulling the trigger should be criminal. There’s no way they’re thinking about where the bullet ends up.

Ok. End of idiot hunter rant.

Also loved the guest and trying to figure out when to end a conversation is a nightmare for me too.

I hadn’t thought about the fence aspect. My assumption was the beer drinking plays an unspoken part in it.
