do do do do do do here we go my name's todd and this is gaffney welcome back to another episode of zen parenting

radio this is podcast number seven hundred and eight why listen to zen parenting radio because you'll

feel outstanding and always remember our motto which is the best predictor of a child's well-being, is a parent's

self-understanding. On today's show, we're going to go over a few things. One is apologies.

Okay. And two is, there's a podcast that I love to listen to called Freakonomics.

And they just recently did an episode called Swewearing is more important than you think.

And it made me think that we've been doing this podcast for, I don't know, about 12 years.

I don't know if we've ever talked about the topic of swearing, but I think from a parental

viewpoint, it's an important topic to have.

So I might play a few clips from this Freakonomics podcast.

My hope is if you like this discussion that you'll head on over to Freakonomics and listen

to that podcast.

But first, I want to say thanks to a few brand new team Zen members.

And by the way, sweetie, did you know if you become a team Zem member, even if it's just

for a week, you get either fuzzy socks or a T-shirt.

The socks are so good.

I like T-shirts, but the socks are great.

So I want to say welcome to Mary Ellen from Crystal Lake and Tammy from Madondo Beach, California.

Thanks so much for joining the team.

And we look forward to seeing you soon.

As far as upcoming events on Team Zen, there's a few micro-community talks this week,

differently wired families, dealing with addiction.
