50. Guest-Jen Aloisi Ham- 2020 Third Shoe, Firework Intolerance, Ready to Bite & Life is Full of A$$holes

The Chris Ham podcast

Buckle up! My wife, Jen, joined to talk about the American Flag dog whistle, raising kids to be racially aware, and thewet blanket of a year that is 2020.
I kick off the show introducing upcoming epsidoes and discuss why July and Q3 in general is an important time for our family.(0:00-4:55)

Jen attempts to impersonate my intro to the show and we start talking about the differences between men and women when it comes to photo taking.(5:31-12:58)

Jen then lays out the two discrete examples of American flag flying people and why both are problematic in 2020. She then pitches her idea about country match making and how picking a country to live in should be looked at like a romantic relationship. (12:59-26:40)

I talk about how an American flag has become a dog whistle for conservative America and regressive ideals. I speak about a realization I had about living in a homogeneous town and the perpetual microaggressions that are a symptom of that experience. I am going to be ready to bite as our kids get older. (26:41-36:54)

We discuss how in your 30s you realize that life is full of a$$holes then we do our best to compare our kids as babies and talk about the irratating narrative that "boys are easier than girls" when they become teenagers. We end avoiding loaded topics but Jen gives a dystopian prediction about the year that is 2020.(36:55-53:20)
