Quiverfull
Yeah, I mean, they were listening to this authority figure in their church that was telling them he's the voice of God.
Flightless Bird
Quiverfull
I mean, the whole contraception is bad and sex is just for procreation isn't unique to Quiverful, though. It's a lot of the, like... Heaps of religions do it.
Flightless Bird
Quiverfull
There's a little bit of really seeing yourself in your kid, but in a less...
Flightless Bird
Quiverfull
So within the Quiverful religion, are the priests and people in the church then also having kids?
Flightless Bird
Quiverfull
They think everyone should be doing that. But then like, how are they looking at the priest that's preaching to them? Who isn't doing it? Who isn't quiverful because he's celibate.
Flightless Bird
Quiverfull
Well, I also feel like it's a generational thing too. Like when you were a kid, like most of the families you grew up around probably had more kids than... Totally.
Flightless Bird
Quiverfull
It's just weird how that has no kids instead of... Seven. Because, yeah, I mean, most of the kids that I knew growing up, like, they were families of three, four, five kids. And would have most of them been religious?
Flightless Bird
Quiverfull
Which there is some merit to that. Like the fulfillment that I get from my kids. Pretty good. Yeah.
Flightless Bird
Quiverfull
Which I also am not in the mindset that, like, the only way for fulfillment is to have children. Totally.
Flightless Bird
Quiverfull
Well, and the same way that I said that I was probably wrongfully judging people that had a lot of kids. Totally. Who aren't necessarily religious. They just want kids. Yeah. I don't think I'm doing the same, though. Like...
Flightless Bird
Quiverfull
No, not from her. I don't want to be reductive in saying we didn't want an only child because we felt like Calvin having someone was important and that he wasn't taking the brunt of everything.
Flightless Bird
Quiverfull
people on the planet but that's me just kind of like as someone without kids being a judgy asshole as well you know i also think a lot of that has to do like geographically where you are in the country completely fair like i think urban areas seems like they're most a lot of the families have less kids Yep, true. Or just, like, less room to, like, have them, right?
Flightless Bird
Quiverfull
And then, like, you're having the bigger families when you're moving out into the more rural areas of the country, which then happened to trend at, like, a higher religious level
Flightless Bird
Quiverfull
It makes me think, did you ever see that movie Teeth? Oh, about the vagina with teeth?
Flightless Bird
Quiverfull
We have had that thought and as I've gotten older... This is the part where I don't want to seem reductive.
Flightless Bird
Quiverfull
Which that Bob Barker also died. Yes, both dead. But the legacy lives on of both of them. It does. Yeah. Through Drew Carey and toothbrushes and presents.
Flightless Bird
Quiverfull
stuttery weird argument last week about shitting on a blimp except it was not about shitting it was about peeing people can sometimes hear you peeing yeah through the door i will say when we recorded it we were just listening to the audio doc seeing the photos on youtube on our youtube version which if you want to watch it it's there uh it's much smaller than i was picturing the blimp of the toilet
Flightless Bird
Quiverfull
I don't know. Like a basketball court. It's really good. Not a small bus.
Flightless Bird
Quiverfull
I imagine something much bigger. I imagine like, you said a bus. Yeah, I did use the word bus. But I was thinking like greyhound bus, but like wider.
Flightless Bird
Quiverfull
I think subconsciously, I feel like when people have more than three or four kids, that there has to be some sort of religious thing or other element that I'm not getting.
Flightless Bird
Quiverfull
I like that for some of these true crime reenactment shows. Like, I watch a lot of the BBC crime shows like this. You like kind of grittier... methodical storytelling right yeah i'm the same less like ncis version or law and order version of less american versions yeah uk does gritty so so well yeah and all the actors in them are so insane
Flightless Bird
Quiverfull
Growing up, my dog had a lot of colorful poop. Our dog liked to eat crayons. Oh, amazing. Get into our crayons. And she was able to take the wrapper off and then would just eat the crayons. Just love crayons. Yeah.
Flightless Bird
Quiverfull
I also don't want to alienate anyone that's listening that has more than three kids. Oh, no, no.
Flightless Bird
Quiverfull
I don't think I've ever been in a plane that has a window in the bathroom.
Flightless Bird
Quiverfull
And the trash is always, like... It's so hard to get the paper towel without touching everything.
Flightless Bird
Quiverfull
I know people too like that, that I think break my idea of that. It's just I think where I grew up and the people I grew up around when I was around the church, like when you had that many kids, it was like a very religious symbol for me.
Flightless Bird
Quiverfull
I had an ex-girlfriend that she grew up in Texas. And she just did not know what asphalt was. What do they have there? Dirt. I think it's too hot, maybe, that they... It probably melts and just gets all fucked up. Yeah. Or, I don't know.
Flightless Bird
Quiverfull
I guess if it's like a really... We're going to sound real stupid if we're wrong.
Flightless Bird
Quiverfull
If it's like really hot there, I don't know if it absorbs too much and then the ground is... Yeah. Hot.
Flightless Bird
Quiverfull
types of services which is fine I mean if my partner didn't know about types of services it would be fine I wouldn't hold it against her clearly you have that's another episode down feedback flightlessbirdchat at gmail.com Portland April 13th San Francisco not San Fran San Francisco April 18th and we'll see you there and have a wonderful rest of the week and we'll see you next week
Flightless Bird
Quiverfull
Yeah, it was like Seventh Heaven vibes, where like, dad's the pastor. I forgot about that show. Dad's the pastor.
Flightless Bird
Quiverfull
Yeah, you can't. Who was in that? It was one of, it was a pop star. Jessica Biel was in that.
Flightless Bird
Quiverfull
Seventh Heaven cast. I don't know that any of the other, I don't think there were pop stars in there. Oh, no. I'm thinking of something else. What was... You're going to have to Google the dad, though. I think something happened with the dad.
Flightless Bird
Quiverfull
Yeah, where to eat, what to see. And if you're in San Francisco, bring your friends. Please do. Bring like three or four friends each.
Flightless Bird
Quiverfull
That's like the perfect example of what we're looking for. We talked to someone that trained Navy Dolphins, so she was our gateway into the episode. So we are looking for people that have unique access to some sort of topic that can maybe speak on it or has a relative or a friend. Yeah.
Flightless Bird
Quiverfull
No, I haven't. It was, I mean, it was always a trek from Chicago. And then since moving to LA,
Flightless Bird
Quiverfull
I never saw a ton of that in Chicago. That became pretty new to me, moving to LA. To LA. Occasionally, there'd be a big enough show where that would happen, but it wasn't... It wasn't a thing. It's not the scale of, like, you go to the Greek theater for a 3,000 or 5,000 seat show. Describe what you see at the Greek, like, leaving the Greek. There's always like four or five vendors with t-shirts.
Flightless Bird
Quiverfull
We have a couple of them in our front. They're also, they're a nightmare.
Flightless Bird
Quiverfull
The crazy thing about agaves is when they die, there's like a last burst of energy. And this like asparagus stalk grows out from the middle of it. A huge phallic thing. As tall as the house. We had one that grew taller. Incredible. And it's like very thin.
Flightless Bird
Quiverfull
Yeah. But it just shoots straight out of this already, like, pointy, dangerous plant.
