[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
