Episode Transcript
[00:00:01] Speaker A: Alrighty. Alrighty. Welcome back to the Human podcast. And boy, did I choose a week to just throw in a random episode.
Oh, my God.
Like, the most, like, news, you know, heavy week in the world. And it's like, yeah, you know, never talk about it. And it's like. Because I recorded everything way beforehand.
Sorry.
[00:00:27] Speaker B: That's hilarious.
[00:00:29] Speaker A: So, yeah, everyone knows that Charlie Kirk got shot, you know, and. And I'm Alex Truck and all that.
But yeah, Charlie Kirk got shot, and that's awful.
And I don't feel bad for anyone that has lost their job because they went on the Internet with their full name and face.
[00:00:50] Speaker C: Oh, yeah, no, that's fucking stupid.
[00:00:52] Speaker A: It was hilarious to watch people crying.
[00:00:56] Speaker C: Literally. Our corporate sent out a letter saying, do not. You're welcome to feel what you feel, but if you comment on social media, you are the face of us and you will get fired.
[00:01:05] Speaker A: Exactly.
[00:01:06] Speaker C: And I'm just like, damn, people were doing that.
Okay, that's just like, when, like, all of a sudden, like, labor nurses were posting, like, their ick on, like, obviously partners who were, like, not being helpful in the delivery suite. But, like, a lot of them got fired too.
[00:01:20] Speaker A: Well, like, I. I've seen videos of, you know, people at.
What, what's that? What's the female like? What's the doctors that you get like, pap smears at and stuff?
[00:01:35] Speaker C: Your gynecologist?
[00:01:37] Speaker A: Yeah, there's like a four letter word for it.
[00:01:39] Speaker C: Gyno.
[00:01:40] Speaker A: No, Courtney, like, what. What am I thinking of? Like, it's like a, you know, like ptsd, but, like, you know, I don't know why I can't think of the fucking name. Oh, my God, it is a gynecologist. Yes. Yeah, but like, there's like.
[00:02:04] Speaker C: Oh, my God, I'm so excited to figure out what it is you're thinking of.
[00:02:08] Speaker B: Oh, my God.
[00:02:08] Speaker C: Please Google the most random thing you can.
[00:02:10] Speaker A: Four letter word for gynecologist.
[00:02:14] Speaker B: I know.
[00:02:15] Speaker A: No, obgyn.
[00:02:16] Speaker C: That's five.
[00:02:18] Speaker A: It's like, okay, obgyn, but, you know.
[00:02:20] Speaker C: No, that's five. No wonder I couldn't help you. That's five letters, you know, so.
[00:02:26] Speaker A: Yeah, but people were going to, you know, the OB gyn, and like, the. The nurses from this place were like, po. Like, after, you know, like the patient was out. So they weren't like, posting the patient, but like, they're like, you know, taking photos and taking videos of, like, the fluids left behind. Like, ew.
[00:02:48] Speaker C: Yeah, there's a lot of fluid during birth. Birth is disgusting and foul.
[00:02:53] Speaker A: Well, it wasn't it was like, you know, pap smears and stuff like that. It's like. And like on like the fucking paper where, you know, fluids are supposed to get. And like.
[00:03:00] Speaker C: Yeah.
[00:03:01] Speaker A: And it's like they were losing their fuck. I'm like, good.
If you are immature and dumb and, you know, get the out.
[00:03:09] Speaker C: What are you talking about?
[00:03:12] Speaker A: If you're an immature doctor, you know, and you say some stupid sorry get, you know.
[00:03:18] Speaker C: Yeah.
[00:03:19] Speaker A: You shouldn't be a doctor.
[00:03:21] Speaker C: I mean, you should learn to shut your mouth and be aware of your patient. Be respectful of your patients.
[00:03:26] Speaker A: Yeah, of course.
But yeah, these people would go on tick tock for tick tock and it'll be like the entire office and it's like, well, guess what? You all just lost your jobs.
[00:03:37] Speaker C: Yeah.
[00:03:38] Speaker A: And now this video where Hippa is.
[00:03:42] Speaker C: This is what Hippa shit's supposed to do right here.
[00:03:44] Speaker A: Well, like, you know, they. They, you know, saved themselves legally because they didn't, you know, announce who the patient was, but they were going on and like, oh, look at this. Oh my God. You know, and. And just, you know, showing like the various fluids and like laughing and giggling about it.
[00:04:02] Speaker C: I'm like, I mean, it should be normalized but not made fun of. That's.
[00:04:07] Speaker A: Yeah, exactly. Like, don't fucking, you know, do that shit.
[00:04:11] Speaker C: There's a lot of stupid, nasty stuff that comes out of my fucking. Is it a hatchet wound?
[00:04:16] Speaker A: Yeah, pretty much.
[00:04:17] Speaker C: Yeah.
[00:04:18] Speaker A: But you don't bleed from it.
[00:04:20] Speaker C: Not anymore. And thank God for that.
[00:04:25] Speaker A: Yeah, I like, every time I see this, I'm like, you know, okay, you know, you have the freedom to say what you want and your boss still has the freedom to fire you for saying it online, pretty much. But if you're just like, you know, saying it among your friends, you know, your boss has no fucking power.
[00:04:45] Speaker C: Like, if it's on social media, it's there forever.
[00:04:49] Speaker A: Yeah, they'll post it on YouTube and then it gets on the fucking news.
And then they're like, oh, this person works at this business. And then they're like, which one of you MAGA pieces of sent this to my boss? I'm like, the news?
The mainstream media are you talking about, dude?
[00:05:13] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:05:16] Speaker A: It'S like no one celebrated, no one laughed, no one giggled when the Twin towers came down.
And I'm sure there is at least one bad person in the Twin Towers.
[00:05:26] Speaker C: It was an inside job.
[00:05:29] Speaker A: It was actually an outside job.
[00:05:31] Speaker C: Nuh.
[00:05:32] Speaker A: Flew the plane from the outside to the inside.
[00:05:34] Speaker C: I know, but the building fell the way it Falls when you're deconstructing it.
[00:05:38] Speaker A: Yeah. I mean, it doesn't matter.
[00:05:40] Speaker C: All the way. It should have felt being hit by a plane directly.
[00:05:42] Speaker A: It doesn't matter. Still, a bunch of people died and it was.
[00:05:45] Speaker C: That does matter. Okay. The thing I feel the worst about 911 is that all the first search and rescue dogs were getting so sad that all they were finding were dead bodies, that they' handlers were like being pretended to be like in the rebel. So the dogs could like find live bodies.
[00:06:01] Speaker A: Yes. Ran out, you know, some that made me sad.
[00:06:03] Speaker C: The poor dog. The poor dogs were sad that they weren't finding live rescue. They weren't rescuing live people. It was making them sad.
Poor doggos.
[00:06:14] Speaker A: But yeah, and you know, they're like, 911 never forget. No one has ever forgotten.
[00:06:19] Speaker C: Okay. 9 okay. 911 basically took over Pearl Harbor. Everyone used like before 911 it was always, oh, Pearl Harbor. Second 911 happened, everyone dropped Pearl harbor in the dust. And one day something else is gonna happen and 911 will be dropped in the dust.
[00:06:33] Speaker A: Oh no, 9 11, you know, it's gonna turn into like a hamburger and hot dog holiday. Just like the Fourth of July.
[00:06:38] Speaker C: My dad would wear full black on 9 11. Like he, like, it was fucking weird.
[00:06:44] Speaker A: Is your dad me?
I wear full black like every day. Look at me, I'm right now wearing.
[00:06:49] Speaker C: No, you weren't mourning for some weird reason for people you weren't related to and expected everyone around you to also be as sad as you were. It's still sad when he would fucking cry.
[00:07:00] Speaker A: Yeah, I mean, like, like when he.
[00:07:01] Speaker C: Went to work, he would like wear black under his clothes and have like a black armband and make sure he told everyone what that armband was for.
[00:07:09] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:07:09] Speaker C: I mean like he was so self righteous.
[00:07:12] Speaker A: Here's the thing that does annoy me though is the people that are, you know, clout chasing and saying, oh, I'm, you know, doing this for Charlie Kirk, you know, and they'll like, you know, post a video. I'm going to church for Charlie Kirk. It's like, you know, good, you know, I'm glad you're going to church. Just do it. You don't have to post it online.
Just do it.
You know, don't, don't go online and be like, look what I'm doing. I'm a good person. I feel like that, you know, negates all the goodness.
[00:07:45] Speaker C: It 100% does.
[00:07:47] Speaker A: It's like you, you could just be like, hey, you know, I, you know, I'm gonna Change my life because this happened. Cool. Do it. Be a better person because something happened.
You know, be nicer to someone because, you know something happened. Cool.
You know, it's like.
[00:08:08] Speaker C: So this is my biggest problem with religion, where people, like, they need religion in order to be good. They can't just be good on their own. They have to be threatened with eternal damnation for them to be good people. And that always pissed me off.
[00:08:22] Speaker B: Oh, my God.
[00:08:24] Speaker A: It's like, be good or you're going to hell. It's Santa Claus on crack.
[00:08:28] Speaker B: I know someone exactly like that.
[00:08:31] Speaker A: Yeah, you call him dad. It's fine.
[00:08:34] Speaker B: Oh, God. How did you know?
Did I say it?
[00:08:40] Speaker A: I'm friends with your dad on Facebook. It's fine.
[00:08:44] Speaker B: Okay.
[00:08:44] Speaker A: Yeah, I guess, you know, I know all about it. Yes.
[00:08:47] Speaker C: And I'm sure you love everything. Yeah.
[00:08:49] Speaker A: Oh, no, I. I'm rarely ever on Facebook.
That's, like, the up part. It's like, you know, I, I.
[00:08:57] Speaker C: What is your mainstream social media platform, then?
Nothing. But you don't use Facebook. So what do you use?
[00:09:04] Speaker A: YouTube.
Yes, that is YouTube.
[00:09:09] Speaker C: It is, but do you have, like, friends on YouTube?
[00:09:13] Speaker A: Yes.
[00:09:13] Speaker C: Are those just followers?
[00:09:15] Speaker A: Well, no. Like, I.
[00:09:16] Speaker C: You know what my questions are?
[00:09:18] Speaker A: So, like, the guy I went to go talk to, the guy with the beard and the cowboy hat, there were.
[00:09:22] Speaker C: Multiple dudes with cowboy.
[00:09:23] Speaker A: The one that I specifically went up and.
[00:09:25] Speaker C: You know, the one where you had to shake his hand.
[00:09:27] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:09:27] Speaker C: Okay. No, like, I don't mean it like that. I don't mean it like that.
[00:09:31] Speaker A: After, you know, he realized who it was, he's like, oh, dude, Alex. What's up? Yeah, you know, like, he had a whole bunch of going on because he is actually, like, involved with CSSA and, you know, Teddy and, you know, all those people.
So he, you know, had a full plate, too. Yeah, I'm just. He didn't go up and speak.
But, yeah, I mean, like, I. I watch his channel on YouTube too, you know, and he. He comes in with, you know, all the.
[00:10:01] Speaker C: You have a channel?
[00:10:02] Speaker A: No.
[00:10:03] Speaker C: Then what's the point?
[00:10:05] Speaker A: I. This, you know, I. I guess is a channel on a podcast.
I. I'm not gonna get on YouTube. Are you kidding me?
[00:10:13] Speaker C: Are you in Reddit or are you on YouTube more?
[00:10:16] Speaker A: I'm on YouTube. Like, I do Reddit, you know, like, here mostly.
And then I'm like, okay. And then it's like, you know, then I'll go to, like, Street Arrow News, you know, boom.
Because, like, all the others are like, pay us money. But Straight Arrow knows Doesn't do that.
[00:10:40] Speaker C: Because someone's peeing them, paying them.
[00:10:44] Speaker A: I mean, like, you. You go through, and it's like, do you see any ads? No.
[00:10:50] Speaker C: Excuse me.
[00:10:51] Speaker A: And I. I love that.
So, yeah, I mean, it's just unbiased, straight facts.
You know, a lot of it's, you know, political, though, so I'm like, yeah, I was like, wait until it all, you know, kind of calms the down.
But, yeah, see, it'll. It'll do, you know, right, media miss, left, media miss. And just, you know, what coverage percentage everything got, you know.
So, yeah, I mean, I. I do like unbiased news.
I also kind of enjoy like, watching, you know, Trump go, you know, like, I'm gonna do this, and then a judge back, no, you know, like, I.
[00:11:54] Speaker C: Mean, that is the. That is the trickle of having a three body part, though.
[00:11:57] Speaker A: I mean. Yeah, that's the great thing about having a government is, you know, checks and balances, you know, because if Trump was, you know, able to, you know, go, like, I'm gonna do this, and no one is able to stop him, then, yeah, that'd be up. But, you know, he's like, I'm gonna. You know, anybody born in this country, you know, to, you know, Mexican parents, I'm gonna kick you out. And, like, some judge, like, dude now, he's like, all right, all right, we'll drop it. News don't cover that no more. Okay? We're gonna do something new.
And he does so much stuff that, like, the old stuff gets buried.
[00:12:37] Speaker C: And, yeah, the social media is all about red and blue paint. There's no longer purple.
No one wants to come together. And, I mean, you show stories of people coming together. Well, that's not good. The government doesn't want to use that. The government wants you to see strife and then feel fear.
[00:12:55] Speaker A: Here's how I, you know, I came up with this whole fucking bit in my truck the other day is, you know, America is like, divorced parents fighting for their children's love.
You know, you got, you know, the mother, you know, Democrats and the father, Republicans.
You know, the mothers are like, oh, yeah, we'll. We'll support you in whatever you want. You know, but, like, unrealistic, you know, expectations. Yeah, you can do whatever. You can be an astronaut. Sure. And, you know, the Republicans are like, dad, but, you know, strict but fair.
And, you know, each parent is telling lies about the other parent. It's like, oh, your mother cheated on me, and, you know, with, like, seven other dudes. And then the mom's like, your dad beat me. And it's like, all right, who are you gonna believe now?
[00:13:45] Speaker C: You choose who you get to believe. You're deciding your own reality.
[00:13:48] Speaker A: Exactly. That's why we have, like, a 50. 50 split of Democrats and Republicans in this country.
Believe whatever you want to believe.
[00:13:56] Speaker C: So is fucking the red pill and the blue pills, is that. Is that movie just a commentary on the government?
[00:14:05] Speaker A: Pretty much, yes.
You know, that. That, you know, like, I try not to get.
[00:14:13] Speaker C: What happens if you take both pills? Can you take both pills?
[00:14:16] Speaker A: Centralist.
[00:14:19] Speaker C: So what happens then in the movie?
[00:14:21] Speaker A: Then you vote for Kanye west and. Wait, waste your vote because it is meaningless. Yeah, if voting worked, they wouldn't let you do it. But, you know, they like to give you a sense of control, of power.
[00:14:33] Speaker C: So why should bludge?
[00:14:37] Speaker A: Because it makes you feel better.
[00:14:39] Speaker C: It does not make me feel better.
[00:14:40] Speaker A: It makes me feel better.
[00:14:41] Speaker C: I am very happy.
[00:14:43] Speaker A: I'm like the younger brother that my older brother gave me the unplugged controller while he's playing a video game. You're doing such a good job. Yeah, you are. Oh, my God. Gosh, look at us. We're winning together.
[00:14:56] Speaker C: Yeah. I choose to be the unplugger.
[00:15:00] Speaker A: Yeah. It's like you. You could just, like, you know, get up and leave the room back. Hey, I'm not even, you know, playing you.
[00:15:05] Speaker C: Oh, my God. English is such a dreadful language.
[00:15:07] Speaker A: It is.
[00:15:08] Speaker C: It's got to be. So.
[00:15:13] Speaker A: But guess what? The government is all in it together. It's fine. I don't.
I don't care. I pay my taxes. I do what I'm supposed to do. I'm 34. I'm close to death. I am sure.
And, you know, I'm not having any kids now. I feel bad for everyone that has kids, for damn sure.
Your kids are fucking in for it.
You know, my parents kids were in for it. You know, everyone has to suffer. Misery loves company. You go out, you suffer too, just like I had to suffer.
And. And we'll call it good.
[00:15:48] Speaker C: Sometimes I accidentally fall into the mentality, and I'm like, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. That's not a happy place to be. And I pull myself back out. I hate fucking hate it when I realize I'm in that mood. I'm like, if I'm upset, everyone has to be upset. But then later, I'm like, wait, I don't want everyone to be upset just because I'm upset. That's not fair to everybody.
[00:16:06] Speaker A: I mean, like, when I'm in my truck, I. I yell at and. Yeah, it's like my favorite thing to do.
[00:16:17] Speaker B: It's the most annoying thing you do.
You don't even stop when you're the.
[00:16:22] Speaker A: Passenger because people are bad at driving.
[00:16:26] Speaker C: The only person who can shut him up on drives is his mama.
[00:16:31] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:16:31] Speaker C: For reals. I was the.
[00:16:33] Speaker B: You know, though, when we were in Puerto Rico, he. He didn't.
He didn't do it as much.
[00:16:41] Speaker A: I. I hate people that, you know, can't read signs that, you know, are like, I'm gonna speed and then get in front of you and then slam on my brakes.
It's like I. I deal with it all day, every day, and I'm just like, all right, you know, maybe, you know, these are the people to kill. Not left, not right. Bad drivers.
[00:17:05] Speaker C: Have you seen the most recent road signs in Colorado Springs? It says, get cut off. Shake it off.
[00:17:11] Speaker A: Yeah. No, they've had those for months.
[00:17:13] Speaker C: First time I saw it, I immediately cut somebody off just because I could. And I felt really bad afterwards. Like, I even did my impulsive decision and I felt really bad afterwards.
[00:17:24] Speaker A: Get cut off. You know, cut off their heads. Like, that's what you should do is like.
But, you know, I. I'm not supposed to be a violent person. I'm supposed to be Zen and nice and peaceful, and I try really hard, and I'm like, oh, yeah, I. I can just.
And I. I've come up with this realization, and I don't know if it's a trick that I've, like, tricked myself into or if it's, like, a real thing, but if I, you know, get the anger, if it hits and I don't feed it for, like, a minute and a half.
That's it. Just a minute and a half. 90 seconds, it goes away.
I get distracted by some other shit, and I'm just like, oh, yeah. No, like, it.
It's all fine. I'm never gonna see that person ever again.
[00:18:17] Speaker C: It's easier to forgive insults that are from people you don't know, as opposed to someone, you know.
Insults. Not the word I wanted to use, but it's the word that came out of my mouth.
[00:18:29] Speaker A: Like.
[00:18:30] Speaker B: But that's, like, kind of counterproductive because sometimes we teach the people closest to us shittier because there's. They love us, and they're supposed to love us, and then it sucks because we're supposed to be treating them better.
[00:18:46] Speaker C: Yeah.
[00:18:46] Speaker A: Yeah. I mean, if it's someone that I fucking know, I'll, you know, come up and say something. But if it's someone on the road that I'll never see again. Or if it's someone at an airport that I'll never see again.
What are you doing?
[00:18:59] Speaker C: She's being a cat.
[00:19:00] Speaker A: Okay, yeah, go ahead and bite all that. I don't care.
[00:19:03] Speaker C: You get that cardboard Momo then.
[00:19:05] Speaker A: I like, I. I don't care. I'm like, yeah, whatever.
And, you know, it's taken a long time to get there.
[00:19:15] Speaker C: But Momo is in such a mood.
[00:19:17] Speaker A: Yeah. Because we fucking fed her late.
[00:19:20] Speaker C: Ah, fine.
[00:19:21] Speaker A: She gets to be in a mood.
[00:19:22] Speaker C: Yeah, she does deserve to be in a mood.
She did get dinner very late.
[00:19:30] Speaker A: So.
But yeah, now. Now we're. We're back on the whole, you know, thing, so. Yep. It said the Charlie cart got shot. Don't go out on the. Like, I already. I have a friend that got fired from their job for, you know, saying some.
[00:19:48] Speaker C: Yeah, I believe that 100. Lots of people were stupid.
[00:19:53] Speaker A: Yeah. I mean, I'm not gonna say. I'll tell you after the podcast. You know, them.
[00:20:02] Speaker C: But, you know, if.
[00:20:02] Speaker B: It was a person on the other side, you know, they'd be doing the same exact thing.
[00:20:08] Speaker A: Like, if, you know, if it was like, Kamala Harris that got shot and, you know, I'm like, hell, yeah, Kamala Harris got shot and then I got fired from my job. I'm like, yeah, no fair. Valid.
Yeah, I. I don't think these people should get fired from their job. I think they should have, you know, the freedom to say and think what they want to say. But, you know, it's like, hey, there you go. A little bit of consequence for your action, you know, a consequence for being an evil person. But, you know, go ahead and, you know, have your thoughts. But, you know, you should just, you know, sometimes keep some things in private, you know, like, there's times where I'll see, you know, someone, you know, I'm like, ugh.
Like, like, if I see like a, you know, an 800 pound dude, you know, like, in a, you know, wheelchair or whatever, you know, get on a plane, I'm like, I hope he's not sitting next to me.
It's a mean thought. And I keep it in my head, but I still think it's. I'm like, oh, dude, I hope that fucking fat giant guy doesn't sit next to me.
And then, you know, if he does, he turns out to be, like, a really nice dude. And I'm like, God damn. Like, I wish I didn't have, like, that prejudice in my head, you know, to think like this person that's different, you know, is worse or bad, but.
[00:21:29] Speaker C: Then you realize that and you're able to think, you're able to be more aware the next time you come across that situation.
But then again the ability so like you're ingrained to like form like. Like there's stuff you learn from parents that like you don't even notice bias, like that kind of stuff, like microaggressions. But like once you do realize and then you're able to change your behavior or at least anticipate that behavior and be able to change your actions. If you can't control your thoughts, you can at least control your actions.
[00:22:00] Speaker A: Yeah, and I do my very best to control my actions.
Like, I. I don't judge, you know, people based on, you know, who they are or where they're from or anything like that. I give everyone an individual judgment and I'm like, okay, this guy is a fucking piece of shit. And you know, it's like, I. I've met like some of the nicest people I've met, you know, have been from, you know, other countries.
And then.
[00:22:26] Speaker C: Yeah, because they're not fucking American.
[00:22:29] Speaker A: But then I met dicks. I've met some of the biggest assholes in the world from other countries.
[00:22:35] Speaker C: This country really matter after I've just said that so spectacularly.
[00:22:39] Speaker A: I mean like someone like, honestly, when.
[00:22:41] Speaker B: You'Re in somewhat another country and you're not at home, sometimes you behave worse because no one, you know, actually around you.
[00:22:49] Speaker C: That's true.
[00:22:51] Speaker A: Yeah, it's like I've seen like.
[00:22:53] Speaker C: But that's just like religion all over again. They're. The person that they value to be important is not there. Therefore they can do whatever the fuck they want to. They are not respond for holding themselves back. The environment around them is. And if that person's not there, well. Well, too bad. So sadly get to do what the fuck they want and it's that other person's fault for not being there.
[00:23:12] Speaker A: Well, it's like, you know, I stay in hotels all the time and I've seen like, you know, a group of French people come in and destroy the entire breakfast area. Like, rip the fucking nozzle off, like the, you know, pancake, you know, batter, you know, just.
[00:23:27] Speaker C: I mean, can you blame them?
[00:23:30] Speaker A: Yes, I can.
You know, act like a normal person and not come out here and destroy everything because these stupid Americans will clean it up.
[00:23:39] Speaker C: I can't imagine pancakes at a hotel can taste that good.
[00:23:42] Speaker A: Well, it's waffle mix, but, you know.
[00:23:44] Speaker C: Okay, same thing Like Belgian waffle or regular?
[00:23:47] Speaker A: Yeah, like Belgian waffles. Like deep, you know, cups and everything.
[00:23:50] Speaker C: Yeah, I love Belgian waffles.
[00:23:52] Speaker A: But yeah, and then like as like the per, you know, as the front desk person's cleaning up their mess, they're like still like stepping on the person and treating them like subhuman. I'm like, what the guys? Seriously?
You come on up all this and then you, you know, act like this.
[00:24:09] Speaker C: Yeah. Cuz no one's holding them back, so it's not their fault.
[00:24:13] Speaker A: Yeah. And then, and then, you know, they, they get all offended. Like, I'm like, you know, you are putting a bad example for French people right now.
Now the next time I see a French person, I'm gonna think they're gonna be just like you. They could be super nice. I've met nice French people and French people, it's like, you know, if you're, you know, outside your country, be a good representation. That means you Americans, if you're going to a different fucking country, do not be a piece of to where I see your fucking news story out here because it makes it embarrassing for me. And if I go to that country and they're like, oh, they're Americans. Great.
Okay, Mo. That's cool.
[00:25:01] Speaker C: She fast as boy.
[00:25:02] Speaker A: So yeah, let's get into some news stories.
So from the BBC, a pot breaks as Nigerian chef attempts to cook the largest Yolof rice dish.
Kmo. I love you too.
Thousands gathered in Lagos to watch the world record bid for well known food influencer who in 2023 held the title for the longest cooking marathon.
Her recipe for jollof. A popular. I might be saying that wrong.
Let me actually look up how to say this.
That, that way I'm not, you know, a, you know, piece of shit.
Let's see.
Boom.
Pro pronunciation please.
[00:26:08] Speaker C: Joliff.
[00:26:09] Speaker A: Joliffe.
[00:26:10] Speaker C: Not bad.
[00:26:12] Speaker A: I mean, yeah, I mean, so yeah, I mean they're cooking the largest dish of jollof rice and like it's just.
[00:26:23] Speaker C: Guinness World record shit or.
[00:26:24] Speaker A: Yeah, Guinness World record shit.
It included 8,800 pounds of rice, 500 cartons of tomato paste, 600 kilograms of onions, all poured into a custom made pot that can hold 23,000 liters. The dish took nine hours to cook, but despite two attempts, it was not possible to weigh the enormous pot of food.
Yeah, like the, like the leg had broken so like they couldn't weigh it and they, they sent off the.
But they're like, yeah, tough.
You don't get for it.
And honestly, I feel like the Guinness Book World Records is a huge scam anyway.
[00:27:19] Speaker C: I think it's dumb as. I think it's dumb as. I'm sorry.
[00:27:23] Speaker A: Well, I'm pretty damn sure you have to pay to, like, even submit anything to them and then pay. Yeah.
[00:27:33] Speaker C: Like, does the Guinness World Record have the longest chihuahua on a skateboard?
[00:27:37] Speaker A: Probably not. How much does it cost to enter into the Guinness World Records?
Generally cost nothing to apply to break an existing record with the standing up. However, you must pay a $5 non refundable fee to propose a new record title. There is an additional cost for the services, like Priority Application 800 for a faster review, or hiring a Guinness Book of World Records indicator to verify your attempt for the day of the event.
So, yeah, new titles are $1,000. Existing titles are 800. 800 bucks for.
So, yeah, the standard is 12 weeks.
[00:28:23] Speaker C: For a short time. We had a relief check at my last job, and she claimed she was trying to submit to the guns world records for most cats being touched. Like, most, like, highest number of cats being pet by one person. I don't know if she ever did it or not, but she. But she was pretty confident she could do it because she could prove, like, all the patients that she's met at work and that kind of stuff. And I'm like, I don't think that's enough. But you do, you, boo.
Another bother to look her up, though.
I remember her name.
She had flat, long black hair.
[00:29:03] Speaker A: So, yeah, apparently it does cost really pretty hair.
It does cost, like, a bunch of fucking money to, you know, get real fucking people there. But, you know, this dude that or this lady that did cook this dish, you know, gave it out to everybody.
[00:29:21] Speaker C: Excellent.
[00:29:22] Speaker A: That was there.
[00:29:23] Speaker C: Oh, shoot, Momo.
[00:29:24] Speaker A: Yeah, she's been, you know, crazy. She's been.
[00:29:28] Speaker B: Quite honestly. I, like, thought, like, my door got, like, opened or something.
[00:29:33] Speaker A: Yeah, no, Mochi keeps on running around being all crazy.
So, yeah, I mean, this is, like, a good story.
[00:29:44] Speaker C: I'm just happy all the food didn't spill out. And it was still. Everyone still got to eat it.
[00:29:48] Speaker A: Everyone still got to eat it.
[00:29:49] Speaker C: That's the most important part.
[00:29:50] Speaker A: Kill the baki. You know it.
I'm sure I'm mispronouncing that.
[00:29:57] Speaker C: So was she trying to beat her own record?
[00:30:01] Speaker A: It was. No, she did, like, the longest. Like, the longest cooking marathon before was her record before.
But yeah, I mean, yeah, she did.
Baki won a competition for her version of jollof rice in 2021, then became a national sensation in 2023 when she claimed the world's cooking marathon record, an exhausting 93 hours and 11 minutes.
Jesus Christ. Nearly four days of straight cooking. Yeah, she, she wins. Just get. Give her the record.
I'm not even coming close to that. Four days of straight cooking. She's amazing.
And honestly, African food is phenomenal.
Like, I would love to go to Africa.
[00:31:01] Speaker C: It'd be cool.
[00:31:03] Speaker A: I mean, I have African friends that, you know, cook me authentic African food. It's really good. I'm like, oh, my gosh.
You know, but that, that's why you meet, you know, friends from around the world, you know, and, you know, back, hey, let's share, you know, food, you know, show me something from your country and I'll show you something from mine.
And then they come in with, you know, some fucking, you know, fresh kebabs or something like that. And then you're like, hey, here's pizza, here's a McDonald's.
That's what we do here.
But next story.
Ontario teen fails to perfect road test because Tesla was too high tech.
[00:31:52] Speaker C: Thought you're just gonna say the Tesla was too high.
[00:31:55] Speaker A: Tesla was too high, man.
So, yeah, North Bay family is raising concerns about Ontario's road test after their teenager failed her class G driving exam despite earning a perfect score. So nothing was done incorrectly in the car.
But since the car essentially could drive itself.
[00:32:18] Speaker C: Well, I shouldn't be using a Tesla then, if they're going to use that as a marker for the test.
[00:32:23] Speaker A: But nothing was done wrong.
[00:32:26] Speaker C: But if they're going to blame the kid for driving a Tesla, then they should have.
[00:32:31] Speaker A: Yeah, they should have, like, you know, cut it out to begin with. But since the test taker allowed the Tesla to do it, you know, they, they should just be like, oh, well.
[00:32:40] Speaker C: That should be a bad call on the testers part.
[00:32:42] Speaker A: Yeah. And like.
[00:32:44] Speaker B: Well, no. So, like, was it auto driving while she was, like, supposed to be in control?
[00:32:51] Speaker A: Well, no.
So what, like what the Tesla is do now is they, you know, can, like, see red lights and like automatically, you know, hit the brakes.
They'll like, you know, apparently like, beep at you when the light turns green.
[00:33:07] Speaker B: Oh.
Huh.
[00:33:10] Speaker C: Okay. So, okay, eventually we are going to reach the point where all car, all cars are automated, Right? Like, eventually it's going to be a thing. Right now we're in the phase where cars still need to be operated manually, so children should be tested on how to do it manually until everyone has an automatic driving car, and then none of this matters anymore.
Does that make sense?
[00:33:38] Speaker A: Well, what I find crazy about this story is California DMV stepped in clarifying that the regenerative braking alone should not be grounds for failure. And the student's result was later changed to a pass. Oh fuck. Yeah, they did pass. What?
[00:33:55] Speaker C: That's amazing.
[00:33:57] Speaker A: But in Arizona, you know, last year another teens failed was initially another teens test was initially failed under suspicion that the Tesla was in, you know, full self driving even though this car didn't have the system installed.
[00:34:11] Speaker C: Wait, so you can, it can show that the car is using it but not look like it?
[00:34:16] Speaker A: No.
[00:34:16] Speaker C: Like isn't there like an icon like the dashboard being like you're using automotive mode?
[00:34:20] Speaker A: Probably. I've never actually been inside a Tesla.
[00:34:21] Speaker C: I've never been inside a Tesla either. Courtney, have you been inside a Tesla?
[00:34:25] Speaker B: No.
[00:34:26] Speaker A: Yeah, so.
[00:34:26] Speaker C: God, we're such peons.
[00:34:29] Speaker A: It doesn't matter.
[00:34:30] Speaker C: Like I, I'm at the bottom of the middle class.
[00:34:32] Speaker A: I can go order, I can go, you know, get a Tesla.
[00:34:36] Speaker B: Quite honestly, even if I had the money, I wouldn't get a Tesla.
No, I wouldn't get a Tesla. So I'd get a Subaru.
[00:34:46] Speaker C: I need something inexpensive.
[00:34:49] Speaker B: Yeah, exactly.
[00:34:51] Speaker C: I could. You both know that I could crash a Tesla, right? You both understand that?
[00:34:55] Speaker A: Yes. Tesla's crash on their own, they don't need your help.
So now I think this is a story about Courtney's grandma.
Elderly woman conned by romance scammer posted as stranded astronaut that police said the victim told the fake astronaut spaceship was under attack. And they warned people to be suspicious if they're asked for money from someone that they have met online.
An 80 year old woman in Japan sent money to an online fraudster who told her that the astronaut was stranded on a spaceship and needed the cash to buy oxygen.
[00:35:44] Speaker C: No.
Oh.
[00:35:49] Speaker A: It gets way fucking worse.
The scammer told the victim who lives in Japan's North Hokkaido island, that they asked that he was an astronaut and they continue to develop their online relationship. The fraudster eventually told her that he was in space on a spaceship right now and he was under attack and in need of oxygen. Police in Hiko said the victim who lives alone then was persuaded to transfer around 1 million yen or 5,000 pounds.
[00:36:23] Speaker C: That's a lot of money.
[00:36:24] Speaker A: Yeah, I mean like, let's see, that's a lot of money for her, that's about $6,737.
[00:36:31] Speaker C: Oh my God.
[00:36:32] Speaker A: In US it's a lot of money. For an 80 year old it is. Especially in Japan.
Officers believe that the exchange was a part of a romance scam.
When fraudsters take advantage of people seeking love, you know, like, I feel so bad for this. I hope this is. I hope this, like it's like a made up fucking story, but, you know, clickbait.
It'd be cool, but, you know, I can see it happening.
I can 100% see it happening. Just, you know, people being, you know, easily manipulated and, you know, you say the right things and.
[00:37:09] Speaker C: Okay, one time a scam color got a hold of me and I was like, I'm gonna with this dude. But like, he kept trying, but like, for some time during the conversation he decided I was a movie star and was trying to tell me that he loved me. And I'm just like, fucking people buy this shit.
Like, he's trying to gaslight me into thinking I was a movie star. I was just like, you're a movie star.
[00:37:29] Speaker A: Oh my God.
[00:37:30] Speaker C: Yeah. No, he was like, I've seen you in movies. And I'm like, what movies? He's like, all your movies. And I'm like, okay, can you name a movie? And he names a random movie? And I'm like, I was not in that movie.
He was like, oh, you must have been an extra. And I'm like, then how the fuck did you see me on the screen after that? He hung up.
[00:37:47] Speaker A: Yeah, people are dumb.
So, you know, but it's not as bad as the Samsung 1800 dollar fridges going to be showing you ads.
[00:37:58] Speaker C: What?
[00:37:59] Speaker A: So you know those fucking yeah, yeah.
[00:38:01] Speaker C: Yeah, what the fuck?
[00:38:03] Speaker A: I want.
[00:38:04] Speaker C: Yeah, that you want.
[00:38:05] Speaker A: I do. I'm not going to deny it. I still love the idea of a touch screen on a fridge. It's the dumbest idea. It's a fucking total hokey fucking thing.
[00:38:15] Speaker C: As long as you acknowledge it 100%.
[00:38:18] Speaker A: You know, any fucking high tech refrigerator is a dumb thing.
100%. I agree. But I still love it.
[00:38:27] Speaker C: Okay, you're allowed to love it, but I'm also allowed to look down on you for it.
[00:38:31] Speaker A: There's people that like, want barbed wire around their bicep as a tattoo.
[00:38:35] Speaker C: Hey, that's hot.
[00:38:36] Speaker A: Dumb tattoo idea.
[00:38:38] Speaker C: Okay. Any, like armband across the bicep I'm here for. I'm not going to lie. Obviously, Tribals are like the ultimate. But I'll take Bob, I'll take barbed wire.
I don't care what that makes me sound like.
[00:38:50] Speaker A: I like, I do want tribals and it's a dumb idea. I'm not going to do it good in tribals.
[00:38:59] Speaker C: And like a lip piercing and maybe a man bun.
[00:39:02] Speaker A: Oh, hell no.
[00:39:03] Speaker C: With like the long hair, like, fob.
Okay. If you want to have long hair, it has to be up in a man bun for a dude.
[00:39:09] Speaker A: Oh, no, man. Absolutely.
[00:39:12] Speaker C: No. They're.
[00:39:13] Speaker A: I would kick my own ass if I had a man bun.
[00:39:16] Speaker C: They're just a side effect of long hair. No, like, your hair was so long when we first went out.
[00:39:23] Speaker A: Yeah. It's cool. And I wore it back. Yeah.
[00:39:26] Speaker C: You let me play with it.
[00:39:29] Speaker A: This is like, you know, like my hair now.
[00:39:31] Speaker C: I know. And as long as you're happy with it, this is.
[00:39:33] Speaker A: Yeah, I enjoy not having hair in my face and having to put it up. Like, I, I don't enjoy having to, you know, have a responsibility that's like on the same level as a cat, like on my head at all times, so. But Samsung confirms that's 1800 plus. Bridges will start showing you ads. Any smart fridge, when the COVID screen is idle, it'll show certain themes.
[00:40:01] Speaker C: That's stupid.
[00:40:03] Speaker A: But it's Family Hub.
[00:40:04] Speaker C: Can you like, decline the software?
[00:40:07] Speaker A: No.
[00:40:07] Speaker C: That sucks.
[00:40:09] Speaker A: Yeah, I'm sure, you know, there's people that can, you know, install new software on it and you know, but you.
[00:40:18] Speaker C: Know, having to have an ad blocker on your fridge, like, really.
[00:40:24] Speaker A: So, like you can get this thing that you connect to your network called the Pie Hole.
It's a Raspberry PI and it connects straight to your network and it pretty much blocks any, you know, ad traffic whatsoever. You have to know how to actually make it, create it and install it and use it. But you can do that and you know, like once you're. Once it's up and running it, it just runs.
It's pretty much ad blocker but like nothing can actually get through, so.
But yeah, Samsung is committed to the innovation enhancing everyday value for our home appliance customers.
It is offering curated advertisements on certain Samsung Family Hub refrigerator models.
[00:41:20] Speaker C: That's your information being sold online.
[00:41:23] Speaker A: But you know, maybe like you want an ad for, you know, oh, there's new new tela flavors. Hell yeah.
You know, there's a new ice cream. Oh, you know, eggnog is back. Like if that's an ad. Hell yes.
[00:41:41] Speaker C: Every time I go to the store, I look to see if it's eggnog season yet.
[00:41:43] Speaker A: And it's not October. I know, October 1st.
[00:41:48] Speaker C: I just like buying eggnog for you because it makes you happy.
[00:41:51] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:41:52] Speaker B: Wait, isn't it available at Sprouts too?
[00:41:55] Speaker C: I don't go to Sprouts.
[00:41:56] Speaker A: Yeah. Do you think I have money?
I'm married to a Woman.
[00:42:01] Speaker C: Omg.
[00:42:01] Speaker A: With boobs.
[00:42:03] Speaker C: Thank you.
[00:42:06] Speaker B: Wonder.
Okay, not everything at Sprouts is expensive though.
[00:42:14] Speaker A: Yeah, I mean like the entry free. The entry, entry fee is free, you know, but like the, you know, if you want to leave, they're like, you have to pay to get out.
You know, pay me right now, motherfucker, if you want to get out of this.
It's like, oh, no, I'm trapped in here forever. It's like forever.
Now you're gonna. Employee. Congratulations. Get to work.
But this is like one of my favorite stories that I've seen so far today.
I'm giddy about this.
Woman, 95, beat fellow nursing home residents to death with a wheelchair.
[00:42:57] Speaker B: Oh my gosh. I saw this right before, like, what the. How did she beat someone to death? That makes a lot of sense.
[00:43:04] Speaker A: Yeah, she. So a 95 year old suspect is not currently facing charges because of her cognitive condition.
[00:43:12] Speaker C: I was about to wonder if that was what was going on.
[00:43:15] Speaker A: Yeah. So, yeah, you know, an 89 year old woman living in a senior housing facility in Brooklyn was bludgeoned to death with a wheelchair part by a fellow resident who has dementia.
You know, like I, I like to imagine that like she like picked up the entire wheelchair and just like, you know, smacking her. Not just like taking a part off the wheelchair and, you know, killing people.
[00:43:39] Speaker C: Oh, that's what I thought was happening too.
[00:43:41] Speaker A: Yeah, just like she just goes Hulk mode. Like.
[00:43:45] Speaker C: Well, no, all she'd have to do is just be able to like pick it up. It's like slam it down on her once. She's what, 95? She's 95. So she's made out of toothpicks, right?
[00:43:52] Speaker A: Yeah, but she just probably like took off like a foot piece and just started attacking people.
Police say that Nina Karotskov was killed Sunday night when an argument broke out between the two women at Seagate Rehabilitation and Nursing center in Brooklyn. The attack happened steps away from the beach inside the nursing center. The elderly victim was stuck repeatedly over the head with a metal piece of the chair by a 95 year old with dementia. It's like, you know, okay, you, you know, got killed by someone that was nearly a hundred years old.
Doesn't even fucking show me what the wheelchair piece was.
Yeah, that doesn't even.
Probably a foot piece, though.
I'm gonna go with that.
Next story. A drug dog visiting middle school finds cocaine and teacher's wallet.
[00:44:57] Speaker C: That's people.
Do people keep cocaine in their wallet a lot of the times?
[00:45:04] Speaker A: Usually in their pocket in like a little Baggie.
But, you know, I guess.
[00:45:10] Speaker C: Okay, you know how there's, like, Google Pay and Apple Pay?
[00:45:12] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:45:13] Speaker C: One day you'll have cocaine because, you know, it's a digital wallet. So one day you can have cocaine in your digital wallet.
[00:45:19] Speaker B: Oh, my God.
[00:45:23] Speaker A: I mean, don't do cocaine, kids. It has fentanyl in it now. Like, just don't do, like.
[00:45:28] Speaker C: No, fentanyl is the best.
Oh, my God.
[00:45:31] Speaker A: Fentanyl will kill you.
[00:45:32] Speaker B: So little of it will kill you.
[00:45:35] Speaker C: I know, but Fentanyl was the best pain control I ever had in my life.
I've seen a horse with a broken leg walk fine on Fentanyl. That shit works.
[00:45:43] Speaker A: Oh, it was in Baton Rouge. Why would you bring a drug dog to a school in Baton Rouge, Louisiana? Okay, never mind.
[00:45:51] Speaker C: Yeah, no, this is on the police.
[00:45:53] Speaker A: You shouldn't, like, go test the principal. Like, that drug dog is probably going fucking apeshit in that school. Like, dude, what the fuck? Everything is drugs.
[00:46:02] Speaker C: Yeah.
[00:46:02] Speaker A: Dogs like, sitting down constantly. But there it is, there it is, there it is.
[00:46:06] Speaker C: Okay? And I'm sorry our school teachers are underpaid. Overwork, and a goddamn middle school. Middle school teacher.
Like, I'm perfectly fine with this. I gotta say. Like, they need help, but, yeah.
[00:46:20] Speaker A: Virginia Somers, 47 years old, was reportedly found with cocaine inside the wallet. The drugs were tested and confirmed to be cocaine.
They also found marijuana and pipes.
She now faces possession charges for the drugs and paraphernalia.
I think she's also fired.
[00:46:40] Speaker C: I mean, obviously she's fired.
Sometimes teachers just. Sometimes they're kind of like vets. You get slapped on the hands and you transfer them somewhere else.
[00:46:53] Speaker A: How about this? Instead of having your drug dog at the school, you know, have the drug dog actually going out, like, finding real drugs.
[00:47:00] Speaker C: Okay. Was the dog there more Is like, kind of like a police, like, little, like, demo. You know how like, sometimes, like, people come to, like, schools and, like, talk a little bit about themselves? What if it was just kind of that thing and the dog noticed on accident?
[00:47:12] Speaker A: I mean, like, good dog. I. I must say that.
The best boy ever. Ever. Good boy.
[00:47:20] Speaker C: Yes.
[00:47:21] Speaker A: But, you know, bad teacher. Bad. You know, leave your cocaine at home, you know, if you need your co.
[00:47:27] Speaker C: Like, why is cocaine illegal?
[00:47:31] Speaker A: Because it's a stimulant and it makes people do dumb things.
Cigarettes would be illegal if they made you do dumb things.
The only thing cigarettes do is make you buy more cigarettes.
[00:47:44] Speaker C: Oh, my God. So my co worker, we're all waiting for her to get fired because she's okay, so she, she has a brain tumor, right? And she's doing everything she can to get hurt in the clock so she can get paid money for it. Okay? She has a fucking tumor. She's on a bunch of epileptic meds and she fucking smokes every hour.
Like, is that up?
[00:48:04] Speaker A: No. If you're gonna die it. Why not go crazy?
[00:48:08] Speaker C: I mean, I guess that's so. But like, no one's even saying her, like, oh, you need to clock out for those because we're all scary. We're all worried she's gonna do something and then get us in trouble and then she can sue.
[00:48:19] Speaker B: Now, quite honestly, what you should go to is go, go to HR and we have voice your concerns. And then you guys.
[00:48:28] Speaker C: So we now have like a part time manager. She manages one of the other hospitals, but now she's like kind of covering us. And so, like, they have to go through the process of like the three warnings and all that kind of stuff. And she's only had one meeting with her so far.
[00:48:42] Speaker B: Wow.
[00:48:42] Speaker C: And we've also. And we're all talking to her about, like, like, we have like, we literally have like physical records of her, like not doing stuff or doing stuff she's not supposed to be doing. Like, we keep like, get. We have like this ginormous paper trail and her manager's not doing anything about it. She's had one meeting and like, and she's just, she's just. She's super busy with the other clinic. She really doesn't have time for us. That's the problem.
And I can tell she's not happy about it too.
[00:49:09] Speaker A: Of course not.
[00:49:10] Speaker C: We can all see she's not happy about it. And we're not happy about it either.
I miss her old manager, Danny.
[00:49:17] Speaker A: Yeah.
But last story of the night before we get into fucking am I the assholes and all that shit.
Limewire acquires. Fire Festival.
So if you don't remember, Fire Festival was this festival that, you know, got ran into the ground.
It was supposed to be a cool music festival on an island. They got there, they got stranded on the island, which I think was hilarious. No one showed up.
[00:49:45] Speaker C: Yep. Even better.
[00:49:46] Speaker A: People got over and like, they, you know, lost a bunch of money and people were pissed and like, they, you know, went after the organizer and sued him and won. And, you know, he's like, I don't got no money. And so after that, after everything was all cleared up, he tried to do it again and say it was Fire Festival 2, we're doing it again. And they Just shut it the down. Like, no, you're not. We're not doing Fyre Festival 2. You already fucked up the first one. You don't get to do it again.
And now Limewire. If you don't remember back in the day, Limewire was where you went to download all your music from.
[00:50:26] Speaker C: Limewire was dope.
[00:50:29] Speaker A: You know, Limewire was, you know, the birthplace of like piracy and getting viruses on your computer.
So people went online where boom, boom, boom, and you know, you either got, you know, cool music or a virus. It was like a fucking coin flip. But it was either free music or virus.
And a lot of people took that, you know, coin flip and it was great.
So now, now it's like an NFT company.
You can buy, you know, Limewire share stocks or whatever. Or the Limewire coin, I do believe it is a coin.
You can buy it on Crypto, Kraken, all these weird sites, all these sketchy ass sites.
Yeah, you can buy. Yeah, Limewire token. So yeah, it's like an nft.
And you can also upload, edit and share sizes, files of any size, you know, blah, blah, blah, all that. Dumbass. Also, it does more stuff now, just not as efficient.
So I'm sure you can share music.
They just don't have like a, you know, big old central thing like Pirate Bay. I wonder if Pirate Bay is still a thing. Gonna get a virus right now.
[00:51:50] Speaker C: Pirate Bay thing, just not as big.
[00:51:53] Speaker A: Yeah, it is piratebay.org that's hilarious. Yeah, it's still the same thing.
[00:51:59] Speaker C: Didn't they get sued?
[00:52:01] Speaker A: How?
[00:52:03] Speaker C: For leaking government stuff? No, someone went to jail.
[00:52:07] Speaker A: Oh yeah, no, the founders of Pirate Bay went to jail, but they just. It stays up. Like it's a whole kind of.
[00:52:15] Speaker C: Like when the government tried to ban Tick Tock.
[00:52:18] Speaker A: Yeah, I mean like they're still trying to ban Tick Tock, but yeah, you can just go on Pirate Bay and like, you know, find all the you ever want.
You know, you can go find games, like PC games. Let's see what they have. And then you can just download, you know, the torrent, which isn't the file, mind you. And you have to like go out of your way to then get it. Like a.
[00:52:42] Speaker C: God, that's so nostalgic to see, huh? But God, I remember you downloaded like the entirety of Inuasha for me.
[00:52:51] Speaker A: I still have it.
Oh, your phone's going. Oh my gosh.
[00:52:57] Speaker C: Like, what, what, what?
[00:52:59] Speaker B: How did Torrence work? Because I never figured it out.
[00:53:01] Speaker C: Okay, so that way I don't forget.
[00:53:04] Speaker A: Torrence worked by sending you four megabytes of data at a time.
So pretty much everyone that had the, you know, file completed would seed it back.
So, you know, you. You would download it from all these different people. You know, you get, you know, four megabytes here, four megabytes here for, you know, from a bunch of different people. So you're not downloading the entire thing. You're getting four megabytes at a time. And then, you know, your torrent, you know, client could, you know, take all these little chunks of data and, you know, reassemble them to, you know, where. Now it's a complete file. So you're not downloading the complete file, but at the end, you end up with it. It's like teleportation, where it's like little pieces, you know, come, and then, you know, you get it at the other side.
It's like, imagine taking, like, a bag of M M's, and you have, like, a great. And you're like, throwing one M&M through at a time, and then somebody on the other side is, you know, has a bag, and then eventually they have a full bag of M M's.
But, like, imagine like, 20 people are throwing M and Ms. Down, and then, oh, cool, I have a bag. M&Ms.
Yeah, worked.
And, you know, they didn't like it because it was a fucking gray area. And so they were like, we're gonna sue you guys, everyone that's fucking doing this. And it's like, yeah, no, you can't really do that.
You know, we're not doing anything technically legal.
And if you're gonna do that, you have to sue everyone here.
[00:54:47] Speaker C: Yep.
[00:54:49] Speaker A: And, you know, finding these people, because a lot of them would use VPNs and other browsers would be impossible.
And, you know, then these, you know, whole cases just get, you know, kind of tossed out and, like, damn it.
But, you know, they. They'd publicize we're suing this person for piracy. And then, like, you'd go nowhere.
But if you do, you know, upload an entire file, like an entire movie online. Yeah. You'll get popped for piracy quick.
So don't do that.
So Limewire now owns Fyre Festival. We'll see what happens. I'm just waiting to see, you know, if something cool happens or if they just pirate everyone's music and, you know, play it over speakers and save a bunch of money.
But now on to Am I the by fluffy wind, 2681 or 2661?
Am I the for not allowing my daughter to Travel to India.
I didn't read this story, so we're reading it together, but I like the title.
My daughter is 19 and studying electrical engineering. She is doing well and I am proud of her. For context, I pay her tuition and rent so she can focus on school without needing to work part time.
She recently told me she wants to go to India over winter break with her close friend who has family there. My daughter is a white cockat or white Canadian. Same thing, Caucasian. And her friend is half Brazilian and half Portuguese, but white passing. I told her absolutely not. I do not think it is safe for young women, especially white tourists, in India. I have seen plenty of videos online where foreign women are swarmed by men, harassed. I do not think this is an environment I can in good conscience support her putting herself into.
I'm not quite sure I believe her that her friend has relatives that actually live there and she might be misrepresenting that. She argued that they are going to Goa, which is south and supposedly safer. But I am not convinced. Just because one region is safer does not mean it is safe. There are way too many risks and if something happens, I would never forgive myself for letting her go.
She is very upset saying I'm being controlling and overprotective and even racist. I feel like I'm supporting her financially and I should have a say in these decisions.
It is not like she can just pay for the trip herself right now.
[00:57:38] Speaker B: Yeah. If she can't pay for the trip herself and really she shouldn't be going.
[00:57:44] Speaker C: Yep.
[00:57:47] Speaker A: So yeah.
[00:57:47] Speaker B: And quite honestly, I like, I don't know.
[00:57:53] Speaker C: How old is she again?
[00:57:55] Speaker A: 19.
[00:57:58] Speaker B: Not even old enough to drink.
Yeah, unfortunately, it's like if she's not financially independent and like independent, unfortunately, I don't think she should go anyway because maturity levels and like that.
Or like, quite honestly, the mom could do her due diligence and like, like look up there. There's safety information.
[00:58:34] Speaker A: Everywhere.
[00:58:34] Speaker B: She could look up that and research it.
[00:58:37] Speaker A: How safe India.
India's overall safety varies on region.
It is generally advised to exercise increased caution or a high degree of caution.
While violent crime is rare for tourists, common issues involve petty crime like pickpocketing, scams and concerns about traffic safety due to high accident rates.
Traffickers should also be aware of potentials due to terrorists, civil unrest, demonstrations.
Yeah, it just tells you, you know, be careful.
Let's see where the, you know. Yeah, they have level two exercise increased caution.
Level three is reconsider travel. Four is do not travel.
[00:59:36] Speaker B: Yeah, they can't even go to the bathroom in overnight trains.
[00:59:40] Speaker A: Yeah. Like on the website it says rape is one of the fastest growing crimes in India.
Violent crimes, including sexual assault, happen at tourist sites and other locations.
Terrorists may attack with little or no warning. They target tourist locations, transportation hubs, markets and markets, and shopping malls and government facilities.
The US Government has limited ability to provide emergency services to US Citizens rural. In rural areas.
So.
Yeah, and then they do have, you know, areas that do not travel to like, armed conflict and like that. But, you know, do not bring, you know, satellite phone, gps.
Possessing a satellite phone or GPS is illegal in India and will result. Result in a penalty of $200,000 or jail time up to three years. Okay, so that's good to know.
Holy.
You know, no, gps. Do not travel alone, especially if you're a woman.
[01:00:52] Speaker B: Yeah. Like, quite honestly, I looked it up and just like within March this year, two people, two women were gang raped and a male, like, they were all together as a group with other tourists and a male tourist was later found dead.
[01:01:11] Speaker A: So.
[01:01:11] Speaker B: So they were gang raped and someone died.
[01:01:15] Speaker A: So. Parent of this post.
No, you're not an.
Just like, sometimes it's like, you know, best practice to, you know, let them fuck around and find out. This is not one of those times. Do not let your daughter go out, fuck around and find out.
[01:01:35] Speaker C: Nope.
[01:01:37] Speaker A: Just be like, no, especially if you're fucking paying.
You know, you'll never forgive yourself if like, you know, your daughter never comes home because you're not Liam Neeson and you do not have a specific set of skills to go, you know, bring her back.
So.
[01:01:53] Speaker B: Yeah.
[01:01:56] Speaker A: Yeah, just there and th. This one is wild.
This is relationship Advice by Wacky camp.
My husband, 50 male, wants to divorce me, 50 female, because I got a tattoo.
It's a long ass story, so I'll just give you the TLDR because we're running out of time. Tldr. I got a tattoo to honor my late mother.
He says he begged me not to do it. Now he can't look at me or be with me despite all the things I begged him that haven't been important to him.
So, yeah, I mean, you know, honestly, you know, you got a fucking tattoo that you wanted, he told you not to do it, and he's being controlling and shit.
[01:02:51] Speaker C: Some people like, tattoos are just like the worst possible thing to him. And while I do not understand that, I see that so many times.
And so for some people, it is this complete irrationality where like, once someone's got that, like, it, they cannot see past it. And I'm sorry, Op is with someone like that.
[01:03:09] Speaker A: I mean, if I got a tattoo of, like, a swastika on my chest, like, would you be okay with that? Yeah, no, exactly. You know, like, that, like, certain tattoos are just, like, what the. No, but, you know, like, I. I saw this story not too long ago of this chick that got a tattoo of, like, Op's dead brother, like, on her shoulder. Like, the brother, like, died in, like, a motorcycle accident. And, like, they were best friends. And so, like, you know, his, like, fiance was like, I'm gonna get a tattoo of. Didn't tell him. You just got the tattoo of his, like, face.
[01:03:53] Speaker C: Wait, what?
[01:03:54] Speaker A: Yeah, of the dead brother's face? Yeah, like, on her.
[01:03:57] Speaker C: Okay. I was okay with that until. No, the face. What?
[01:04:01] Speaker A: No, it wasn't like the dead face. It was like, his. Alive.
[01:04:03] Speaker C: No, obviously, but no, no, if it had been, like, his name or something, that'd be different. But his face.
[01:04:07] Speaker A: Yeah, like a portrait of him, like.
[01:04:09] Speaker C: On the shoulder, different, unfortunately.
[01:04:11] Speaker B: It's really weird.
[01:04:13] Speaker C: Yeah.
And no one wants to their partner and accidentally look their sibling in the face. The dead tattoo? Yeah, the dead sibling, too, you know, so.
[01:04:22] Speaker A: Yeah.
And what I find, like, hilarious and fucked up is they broke up.
So now this chick has to, you know, go around the rest of her life with, like, a dude's, like, her ex fiance's dead brother.
[01:04:37] Speaker C: Did you sleep with the dead brother?
[01:04:38] Speaker A: No.
[01:04:39] Speaker C: How do we know?
[01:04:40] Speaker A: They barely even knew each other.
[01:04:44] Speaker C: How do we know that she was him?
[01:04:47] Speaker A: No.
[01:04:47] Speaker C: Yes, she was in.
[01:04:49] Speaker A: In that story. No, she was not.
Like, they. They're hella far away.
It's like, you know, my brothers.
[01:05:02] Speaker B: Yeah, that's even weirder.
[01:05:05] Speaker A: It's like, you know, like, you have no access to either of my brothers right now, so. Yeah, because they're hella far away, so.
[01:05:15] Speaker B: But could not get a tattoo, like.
[01:05:21] Speaker C: Face tattooed on me. Yeah, there's things I'm not going to get tattooed in my body, and faces are one of them, so.
But yeah, face maybe differently, but.
[01:05:31] Speaker A: Yeah, I mean, work it out, you know, hopefully, but, you know, apparently it's a loser.
[01:05:41] Speaker C: Oh, my God. Both of her parents were hospitalized, and he did nothing to support her. And then after she was sad about it, he was like, what the fuck's wrong with you?
Oh, my God.
[01:05:52] Speaker A: So, yeah, I mean, you know, go ahead and get a divorce. I mean, you're only 50. Like, 50.
[01:05:55] Speaker C: You've been stuck with this person for so long.
[01:05:57] Speaker A: 50 is the new 30. You know, get a divorce.
[01:06:00] Speaker C: Fucking probably wouldn't even dye her hair color, different hair color if she wanted.
[01:06:03] Speaker A: You'd be surprised. Fucking. You know, older people are horny as fucking, looking for love.
And you know, you'll, like women always fucking land on their feet. It's crazy. Unless they're crazy.
So.
But that's it for this week. We'll go and end there.
We're back in our normal.
We'll be back next week with some more nonsense. Hopefully nothing crazy happens this week.
We didn't even get to talk about the whole event that we just went to. Probably talk about that. Oh, yeah, yeah. We're just like a whole two way event that my wife did not care about at all.
[01:06:41] Speaker C: She's like, do you want to read the text? I do you want me to read the text I sent to Courtney?
[01:06:45] Speaker A: What?
[01:06:45] Speaker C: Okay. So my favorite one was, oh, my God. Chewing on a cheap cut of steak, knowing I have better at home. And then my second favorite was there was a lady on the other side of the table that clearly was also dragged here by her husband. And we keep rolling eyes at each other.
[01:07:06] Speaker A: Oh, my God.
I invited you to come out to a nice thing.
[01:07:12] Speaker C: I had fun. I got to eat good food and my husband up my steak for me, which made me feel very pretty.
[01:07:18] Speaker A: And, you know, I. I like to support, you know, the people that are, you know, out there fighting for my rights and actually suing the government and, you know, taking care of business. That way I can still enjoy my freedoms and the things that I like.
[01:07:32] Speaker C: Yeah. And I was there for the food and I got mine out of it, so.
[01:07:38] Speaker A: But what was awful is we were sitting front and center.
[01:07:41] Speaker C: Oh, my God. We were totally sitting front and center. Like, every time I got up, I had to walk all the way around the banquet room because I didn't want to walk in front of the stage or walk in front of people who were trying to look at the stage.
[01:07:52] Speaker A: Yeah, it's like, you know, boom. Like, I'm like, I paid for, like, a normal ticket. And like, there's people that paid like, a thousand dollars for a table, you know, and they got sat, like, way in the back.
[01:08:04] Speaker C: Yeah. No, that's fucked. I agree.
[01:08:06] Speaker A: I'm like, those people should have been, like, right up front. Like, they should have gotten, like, the front tables.
But it's like, nope. We're just like, hey, here you guys go, you know, table number five, front and center.
And I didn't win the raffle. God damn it.
[01:08:21] Speaker C: I know. And you had six entries, six chances.
[01:08:24] Speaker A: To win out of, like, you know, 6,000.
[01:08:30] Speaker C: Oh, my God. And then we had the paddles. And so I wrote I love my wife on the paddle, but instead of love, I had, like, a big heart. And then Alex raised outside of the heart to make look like a dick, so.
[01:08:43] Speaker A: And then I left the paddle there, too.
[01:08:45] Speaker C: Oh, good. I was hoping you would. I want someone else to see that.
[01:08:48] Speaker A: Did not erase it at all.
[01:08:50] Speaker C: Someone's gonna come across it, and you're going to be like, that's a good married couple. Or they're going to be like, we need to burn this.
[01:08:56] Speaker A: It's a good married couple. Yeah, Republicans have a great sense of humor, but, yeah, we'll be back next week. And, you know, all the same, you know how it goes. All right, bye.
