But then it's just like, you can have children via other means. My kids aren't my possessions. I'm just their custodians. I'm here to guide them.
Can you imagine the stress a kid is having? The damage, the therapy.
And we're still making the podcast.
Not for a while. She's not going to be pregnant again.
Sounds like a Japanese TV show, like The Toddler and the Pig. Toddler vs. Pig. Which one shops better?
Love it. Where's your cut up point? Like what's the income where you won't throw shade? I'm very curious about that. What's the number?
Yes, you do.
I completely agree because I'm from England. And whenever I go home, I'm like, this country is so poor. And I'm going to say that because Americans can skew your perception of what money is. Because there's just so much money here. Everything is so expensive.
There was a piece in the New York Times recently about how they are giving financial aid to families that make $800,000 a year to attend private school. Because even though they have $800,000 a year... They cannot afford to send their kids to these private schools, which cost about $70,000 a year. And if you have two, three kids, do the numbers. And that's kind of the class that does pay taxes.
And sometimes you live in a place where even though in the abstract, you know, you're like among the wealthiest in the world. You're like, how am I going to pay for gas? How am I going to pay for my accommodation? How am I going to give my kids a better life? So you can be rich here and feel really poor. Right.
Not too much now, Trevor. No, no, no. It's true. It's true. I'm from Brixton.
Oh, yeah. And then you cross, you go past the tube station. You're like, what's going on here? Exactly.
You know, it's interesting maybe because now I compare the US to the UK a lot more. Now I've lived here for like nearly 10 years. And, you know, when I go back to the UK, everyone's like, oh my God, the guns. They're like, oh, the guns and health care and obviously Trump and the other lady that was trying to be president. You live in a crazy place.
But the thing I have noticed is kind of like this because of austerity. I don't know how much you know about the Tory government. It's kind of like this urban, suburban, rural blight. You can see the lack of investment. in people and the country.
Stores are boarded up. They're dilapidated. Yeah, like where I used to work, I used to work in this department store called Alders, which is now closed in the Whitgift Centre in Croydon. And if you go to the Whitgift Centre now, it used to be this like bustling kind of shopping mall. And now you're like, it's like a ghost town, right? Like this NHS, which is like brilliant, free healthcare.
But people are like, I'm on a list for two years to get a knee replacement. And when I go into central London, a lot of the wealth I see is foreign wealth. I don't necessarily come across people like, I was born and raised in London and I made my dream come true here. So, you know, I just see the gap between the have and the have not seems to be getting wider everywhere.
But in America, it's more acute because there's just so much money here. if that makes sense.
Oh, you know, I have a vendetta against dolphins.
Dolphins are like rapists. They're like the most evil, horrible... No, okay, I don't agree with this. Nope. Dolphins? Tell your story.
Tell your story.
