63. Blue Lives DON'T matter to Trumpers, Covid Parenting is HARD & HAM like the meat

The Chris Ham podcast

I start the episode complaining about February as a month and how you could look at this point in winter in the Northeast glass half empty or glass half full. I go on to discuss how to consume t.v as a parent in 2020 and how the new Twilight Zone has captured my attention.(0:00-6:43)

I explain why and how being the parent of kids under 12 during Covid has had it the hardest the last 12 months and has had it the relative hardest since World War II, all things equal. Count your number of household depenedents including pets and that is a measure of how hard it is to work remotely during Covid with young kids. (6:46-17:07)

I explain why there is hypocrisy in much of the Blue Lives Matter flagging and those who wave it. Blue Lives Matter is a dog whistle and it always has been. I asked my closest college friends if they would put a Black Lives Matter flag or sign up and their reservations are similar to mine and I discuss unfortunately why. (17:11-26:15)

I talk about cancel culture and how it is weaponized on the right even toward the middle of the political spectrum(26:19- 32:53)

I give a philosophical take on aging and how it gets scary to approach "mid-life" (32:57-35:12)

T.O.A.Ts(Takes of All Temperatures)- Robert Saleh; 4-year old quirks; Friendship height correlations; Hamoisi as a name; Unnecessary outdoor mask scrambling (36:29-45:37)

Quick Superbowl LV recap, our family experience watching this year, and Covid season capstone (45:41-53:20)
