Hey, we're recording the podcast.

I hope this is recording.

Shut up.

Good day.

Wherever you are, because it is morning somewhere.

For December 10th, 2020, 5.

My name is Bernie Burns sitting right over there. She's so happy about her latest milestone. It's Ashley Burns. I had to ask everybody. It's a big deal. It's the 10th of December. Right before we started the podcast, I said 10th of December. Some of those, I just say the date out loud before we do it. Got to remind yourself what day it is. And Ashley said so proudly.

That's right. We're all out of single digits for the year. We're done. There's no more.

I can't believe the milestone that I never tracked has finally happened this year.

Never once thought about that ever.

But now you're thinking about it, aren't you?

So it's too late.

If you were anything you wanted to do on a single digit day in 2025,

can't do it now.

Everybody, it's over.

It's done.

You missed your,

you missed your window.

I did see there's a thing going around now on social media, which by the way, doesn't exist. If your kid in Australia, it doesn't exist for you now. They're really happy about it, too. Like, they are very, very happy about this program. All the headlines that I'm reading about it are, this will be the first domino to fall in the world. Well, of course. I mean, you know, this is a legislation that they've pushed through. They're going to tout it, right, as, like, being this huge, wonderful thing. They're not going to be like, and that piece of shit just started. So enjoy it, kids. You know, they're going to be like, yes, let kids be kids. Of course they're going to say good things. I think it's going to be a little while before they see the effects, but they're hoping to have like some sort of initial report about how successful it is by Christmas. I'm not seeing a lot of pushback on it other than the impact it's going to have on everyone else, right, of age verification. Where are you going to see

the push pack? The kids can't push back right now. Well, I mean, they could have up and, you know,

after the vote and everything like that. I guess so. Or even parents going like, my kids have to have this. I don't want them to be behind the rest of the world in terms of social development. social development is one of those things you don't hear about it until you're a parent.

And then there's some parents in particular.
