Bill Gates Is Going Poor

[00:00:01] Speaker A: Alrighty. Alrighty, everybody. Another episode of the Human podcast. If you're still here. You know, you're a champion of the people. You're a glutton for punishment. You love it. Or you're my mom and you're just like, I want to hear my boy's voice just to make sure he's not dead or on crack. But, you know, it's all the same. I'm your host, Alex. The truck. We got my wife, not the truck. [00:00:27] Speaker B: Hello. [00:00:28] Speaker A: We got Courtney from across the land. [00:00:32] Speaker C: Yep, I'm right here. [00:00:33] Speaker A: Okay. I'm like, making sure that you're not like, you know, getting kicked out. [00:00:38] Speaker C: Silenced. [00:00:39] Speaker A: Silence. [00:00:40] Speaker C: Getting kicked off. [00:00:42] Speaker A: We had some technical errors earlier in the. Yeah, but that was before we started. But I have to start off with saying, you know, making your own mozzarella out of milk. [00:01:00] Speaker B: God. [00:01:02] Speaker A: You know, my wife didn't enjoy it. [00:01:04] Speaker B: Okay, it tasted okay. But I had diarrhea for five days afterwards. Like hot, aching, painful diarrhea. Okay, it might have tasted okay, but my gut hated it. [00:01:18] Speaker A: My gut did nothing with it. I ate like an entire gallon of that stuff. I think it like, you know, taste like. It like knew the bitching you. It's like, oh, hell no. She's too much of a coward to fucking come all the way. [00:01:33] Speaker B: Oh my God. It tasted. It tasted like, okay, mozzarella, but my gut hated it. [00:01:39] Speaker A: Well, it's cuz I forgot to put in any salt. So it's just like separated fucking, you know, curds with, you know, you know, without salt. [00:01:48] Speaker B: My God. Hated it. It was awful. My farts were so bad. Like everyone knew at work. And I shat myself more than once. [00:01:57] Speaker A: I don't think that that was from the cheese. You only had like a tiny fucking bite of it. And I don't think that is the. [00:02:06] Speaker B: Only thing I ate out of my diet. That was odd. And it started afterwards. [00:02:11] Speaker A: I think that was just, you know, a coincidence. [00:02:14] Speaker B: No, I went back to my plainest diet possible. I mean, okay, neither of you have ibs, so you can't judge me. [00:02:25] Speaker C: Yeah, but you have ibs. [00:02:27] Speaker B: Yes. [00:02:28] Speaker A: Oh my God, I be shitting. [00:02:31] Speaker B: I hate you so much. [00:02:34] Speaker A: I mean, no, I have like normal poops. [00:02:36] Speaker B: I am jealous of that. [00:02:39] Speaker A: Like, like I. I don't have to like. See, like this is the greatest part about being like me is like, I can go to any toilet, take a fat shit and it'll flush, no problem. [00:02:50] Speaker B: That is not something to boast of. [00:02:54] Speaker A: Like, there, there. Like there's been some times where I'm like, worried. Like, I look down and I'm like, oh, no. [00:03:00] Speaker B: You watch the toilet flush? [00:03:02] Speaker A: Oh, yeah. [00:03:03] Speaker B: What the fuck? [00:03:04] Speaker A: Like, dudes will do this thing where, like, they'll blow their nose into a napkin and then look at the devastation. Like, they'll spread it open. [00:03:12] Speaker B: Okay, that's different. [00:03:13] Speaker A: But, yeah, no, like, all I can do that. [00:03:15] Speaker C: I do both of that. [00:03:17] Speaker A: Yeah. Like, I'll stand up and look down and be like, what did I. [00:03:19] Speaker C: Because, like, you look into it to see if it's, like, if you're actually sick or not and what's come out. And then for your. You need to make sure it goes. Goes away so it doesn't sink up. The bathroom. [00:03:36] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:03:36] Speaker B: No, I don't watch the toilet flush. Am I supposed to be watching it flush? [00:03:41] Speaker A: Are you sitting on the toilet while you flush it? [00:03:43] Speaker B: Yes. [00:03:44] Speaker A: That's. That's worse. That's way worse. [00:03:46] Speaker B: What do you mean it's way worse? [00:03:48] Speaker A: I cannot sit on a toilet while it flushes. [00:03:52] Speaker B: Okay? I have to flush toilet multiple times sometimes. What am I supposed to do? [00:03:57] Speaker C: Have you watched too many X Files? [00:03:59] Speaker A: No. Like, I imagine, like, my turd will, like, do, like, a surfing move and then jump out of the water and, like, just graze my butt. [00:04:06] Speaker B: That's called a Neptune, you know? [00:04:09] Speaker A: Like, I'm just like, nope, absolutely not. I don't want, like, you know, my. My butt, my. [00:04:15] Speaker B: So you wipe until you're clean and then you stand up and watch it flush? [00:04:19] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:04:19] Speaker B: What the. What if you use too much toilet paper and it plugs clogs to. [00:04:25] Speaker A: I don't use that much toilet paper. Like, I know how to use a reasonable amount of toilet paper. And if I'm gonna shower afterwards, I don't even wipe. I spread them cheeks before I fucking sit down. Right? Like, this is like a. Like, you know. [00:04:41] Speaker B: Okay, I'm not judging. Okay, that's gross. But I'm not judging you because I pee in the shower. But everyone pees in the shower. [00:04:47] Speaker A: No, no. Like, if I shit, you know, then I'm gonna, like, about to shower. Like, if I'm at my hotel room. Okay. And I, like, get to my, you know. [00:04:56] Speaker B: Okay. I don't care about your hotel room. Have you ever done that when we were about to shower? [00:05:00] Speaker A: No. [00:05:01] Speaker B: Okay, then I don't care. [00:05:03] Speaker A: But I still, like, wash out my booty hole. [00:05:06] Speaker B: Well, yeah, obviously. [00:05:10] Speaker A: But, like, you know, here. Here's the move. Like, before you sit down. Mochi, can you, like, stop? Like, you know, you didn't want any love earlier. Now you want all the love. Yes, it works. [00:05:22] Speaker B: But you. [00:05:23] Speaker C: At the most inappropriate time. [00:05:26] Speaker B: Cat is. Cat is a cat. [00:05:29] Speaker A: But you. You spread your cheeks before you sit down. That way you get, like, the. The widest nozzle you can possibly get. And then when you, you know, you know, none of it touches, like, you know, it, like, no skin to, you know, touching. [00:05:47] Speaker B: What the fuck? [00:05:48] Speaker A: Mm. And then, like, you just, like, kind of, you know, clean the sphincter a little bit. You're good. It's a fucking move. Like, try it. [00:06:00] Speaker B: Like, so you hold your cheeks apart. No shit. [00:06:03] Speaker A: No, I don't hold them apart. Like, when I sit down, like, I take off my pants. Well, I don't take them off. I pull them down. I. I spread the cheeks, you know, before, you know, making the seal on the toilet. [00:06:16] Speaker C: You do what? [00:06:18] Speaker A: I spread the. [00:06:19] Speaker C: What the. [00:06:19] Speaker A: Is this seal, like, where you sit down and, like, you know, like, it's what a contract? Like, you just, you know, spread, like, spread your cheeks and then you sit down and then the toilet, you know, seat holds your cheeks open. [00:06:34] Speaker B: I don't think it works that way. [00:06:36] Speaker A: It does. [00:06:37] Speaker C: Yeah, it does. [00:06:39] Speaker B: Okay, do I abnormally or do you guys. Abnormally, you shit weird. Why do I shit weird? [00:06:47] Speaker A: Like, that's probably why it's so hard for you to shit, is you're not spreading them cheeks. Try spreading them cheeks. Like, the next time you go take a fucking massive shit, try spreading them cheeks. I guarantee you it's gonna come out a whole lot fucking easier because it, like. [00:07:00] Speaker B: Okay, it doesn't matter how it comes out because nine times out of 10, it's just pure liquid. [00:07:06] Speaker A: Oh, those are the best. Oh, I. [00:07:09] Speaker B: Not when it's all the time. Your butthole gets raw pretty quick. [00:07:13] Speaker C: Yeah, it does. [00:07:14] Speaker A: Well, yeah, don't eat spicy foods, but. [00:07:15] Speaker B: Like, I don't eat spicy foods. [00:07:19] Speaker A: Like, when it's, like, you know, soothing. Like when it's like a. Like a pudding. Like what? [00:07:25] Speaker B: Okay. Soft serve shits are nice. I will agree with you. [00:07:30] Speaker A: Yeah. Then that's all I want. That's all I ever want. [00:07:32] Speaker B: That's how I ask clients to describe shit. I'm like, is it a pudding? Is it a puddle? Or is it soft serve? [00:07:37] Speaker A: Yeah, when it's like, liquid. When it's like, you know, like, dirty water, I'm like, ugh, that's the worst. Like, for some reason it's sharp. [00:07:46] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:07:47] Speaker A: Like, I. I don't know. Like, what I ate that was sharp. Like, if I sitting here eating razor blades or whatever. No, like, it. It's the Worst. But. But, like, you know, soft serve, especially when you spread them cheeks. Boom. [00:08:01] Speaker B: It's just. Anything's better than constipation. [00:08:04] Speaker A: Spread them cheeks like that. That is my. My advice for the day. [00:08:09] Speaker B: I'm putting that on your tombstone. [00:08:10] Speaker A: Spread them cheeks. You know, get. Get deep in there. I mean, like, people, like, you know, get all concerned. It's like, if you wash your hands good enough, you're fine. Well, obviously, like, when you, like. Like, imagine, like, you're, you know, over a hole in the ground and you're squatting, your cheeks are just going left to right. Just like, you know that. You know how your body works. Just automatically spread some cheeks. I'm just doing it preemptively while sitting on the toilet. I feel like that's how humans, like. Like, you see, like a dog, you know, One time. [00:08:53] Speaker B: One time I shat while. While crouching, and that was the best of my life. [00:08:57] Speaker A: Yes. [00:09:00] Speaker B: The only problem was it was in the middle of the woods. [00:09:03] Speaker A: Oh, those are great shits. When you're just, like, in the middle of woods, no one's around, and you're like, oh. And you're like, you know, moaning in pleasure of. And then like, a family of four walks by and, like. And there's nothing they can do. You're just like. You seem like a crazy person in the middle of the woods. And, you know, they're just like. They have. [00:09:26] Speaker B: When I'm running over, it's in pain. [00:09:29] Speaker A: Oh, no. Like. Like, there's times where, like, I haven't pissed for, like, 10 hours. [00:09:35] Speaker B: You. [00:09:36] Speaker A: And I'm like. I'm like. [00:09:38] Speaker C: I'm like, be careful. Because, like, I. I've been doing that. And, like, I really accidentally. I've peed my pants twice. Your muscles get weaker as you get older. [00:09:51] Speaker A: So I'm older than all of you? [00:09:54] Speaker B: Yeah, by a year and a half. [00:09:57] Speaker A: And mentally older. [00:09:59] Speaker B: Okay. I can go pee every ten fucking minutes. And I do sometimes. [00:10:06] Speaker A: And there's men out there that would pay for that pee. [00:10:10] Speaker B: Would you pay for maybe? [00:10:11] Speaker A: No. [00:10:11] Speaker B: Or I guess technically you already do. [00:10:15] Speaker A: I. I pay for everything else. But, like, yeah, there's, like, crazy men out there in the world. I'm not gonna call them crazy. I'm not gonna yuck on the yum. But yeah, like, you know, you could get that for free. You could just, like, go up to, like, any, you know, woman, make 10 bucks, kind of like a bottle of your piss, and she like weird requests, but, yeah, sure. Like, I'll fucking do this, I guess. [00:10:43] Speaker C: Did someone actually do that? [00:10:45] Speaker A: Oh, people do it all the fucking time. It's like a huge, like, in the kink community. Like, people, like. [00:10:52] Speaker B: So if you get a Galilee piss, like, what do you do with it? Do you put it, like, in the shower itself? [00:10:58] Speaker A: Well, truck drivers do it all the time, and they just put it right next to the fucking trash can at a truck, you know, fuel up, you know, fuel island. And it just sits there and stinks, and they just. [00:11:11] Speaker B: Just pour it down the toilet. [00:11:13] Speaker A: I wish they fucking could. These goddamn animals. I. I hate any fucking truck driver. Like, throw your fucking piss bombs off the side of the highway onto, like, homeless encampments or something. [00:11:25] Speaker B: Wait, wait, wait. They're missing out on a huge market. Truckers have clean piss, right? Like, they could be selling it from, like, drug tests. [00:11:33] Speaker A: Not this piss. You don't. No one wants this piss. I don't care. [00:11:38] Speaker B: You're missing out on a market, okay? [00:11:41] Speaker A: Like, I, They. They have, like, these water jugs. The gallon water jug. [00:11:45] Speaker B: I know what a water jug is. [00:11:46] Speaker A: And, like, they'll fill it all the way up to the top with piss, and for some reason, it permeates outside of it. [00:11:53] Speaker B: Didn't Chad do that? Or was that with, like, a solo cup? [00:11:56] Speaker A: That was like. It was a fucking, like, Safeway fucking plastic cup. And he did it unlike the Golden Gate Bridge. [00:12:04] Speaker B: Well, where else are you gonna do a golden shower? [00:12:07] Speaker A: I mean, he wasn't peeing on himself. He just had to pee, and he was like, in the middle of the road and, like, he couldn't get out. [00:12:14] Speaker C: So. [00:12:16] Speaker B: I thought golden showers were swim peed on you. It's the same if you pee on yourself. I mean, like, do you, like your. Do you aim your dick up and it makes, like, a fountain? [00:12:26] Speaker A: I don't think that's how that works. But if, like, that's your thing. It's like, dude, you're. You're fucking gold. [00:12:32] Speaker B: Like, could you lie on your back and make a fountain with your dick? [00:12:35] Speaker A: I. I don't. I've never tried wildly. I've never, like, pissed on myself. I've never been like, oh, yeah, let. [00:12:43] Speaker B: Me, like, you know, there's so much weird stuff I would do with a dick if I had one, to see what I could do with it. [00:12:51] Speaker A: You can do a whole bunch of crazy shit, and. [00:12:53] Speaker B: And I would definitely try to make a fountain out of my own dick and piss. [00:12:59] Speaker A: I. I mean, like, can we do this? [00:13:02] Speaker B: Can I like, like in, like, the bathroom or something? [00:13:06] Speaker A: No. [00:13:07] Speaker B: Okay. If you dipped your balls in soy sauce for Me? You can do a fountain dick for me. [00:13:13] Speaker A: I'm not peeing on myself for you. [00:13:16] Speaker B: But we'll shower afterwards. [00:13:18] Speaker A: I don't care. [00:13:19] Speaker B: Okay, fine. [00:13:22] Speaker A: Like, like, you can literally go online and find, you know, videos of dudes pissing on themselves. [00:13:28] Speaker B: Why would I want to watch other dudes? [00:13:32] Speaker A: Because I'm sure they can do some crazy stuff with it. [00:13:35] Speaker B: Like, I just want to know if you can do it. [00:13:38] Speaker A: Yes. Every dude can, like, piss up into the air. All of us. We can all piss up in the air. It is a universal thing with every man. It's like, like I. I'm weird. I don't like getting my own bodily fluids on myself. [00:13:55] Speaker B: No, that's not weird. I don't like it when they drool on myself. [00:14:01] Speaker A: You know, like anybody else's. I'm like, yeah, whatever, that's fine. But like, my own, I'm like, ah, God damn it. Like that, that, like, as an older man, like, I. I take my balls all the way out when I piss that way. And I, like, tuba toothpaste it to make sure that there's nothing, like, stuck in. [00:14:23] Speaker B: That was the visual. Okay. Kind of like the churros. [00:14:27] Speaker A: Kind of like the churros. Exactly. Yes. That's how you have to do it. You just have to, like, squeeze it out and. Because they're like, there's nothing worse. Especially like when you're wearing, like, light colored pants. You know, you'll go to the bathroom, shake it, make sure you're all good. Make sure everything is perfect. [00:14:52] Speaker B: Well, you only shake it twice, right? [00:14:55] Speaker A: You can shake it three times more than that. You're playing with it. [00:14:58] Speaker B: I thought it was only. I thought you only got two opportunities. [00:15:00] Speaker A: No boom, boom, boom, you know, and you, like, you know, kind of like whip it. You have like, you know, the move is like to whip your penis, you know, at the back of the urinal. But, you know, like, I, I pinch, like, the base and just, you know, move it up and then I'll do the whip. [00:15:20] Speaker B: Is that why you only wear black pants? [00:15:22] Speaker A: If I wear, like, white pants, you know, and I, like, go take a piss, you know, I guarantee you the universe is going to put, like one drop of piss and in my penis. And then like, I take up my pants, put them back on, and then like, that drop will just show right up to the front. [00:15:37] Speaker B: True. [00:15:38] Speaker A: It's like, fuck. And it's the worst. So, yeah. So that is why wear black clothing? It hides everything. [00:15:50] Speaker B: It's a safe bet. [00:15:52] Speaker A: It's the best bet, you know? Like, you. If you get anything on it other than cat fur, like, cat fur and come are, like, the only things that show up on dark clothing. Yes. Yeah. Good. With her mo, you got got. But what is new with the life of Courtney is anything new. [00:16:30] Speaker C: I started a walking challenge. [00:16:33] Speaker B: Oh, my God. I keep forgetting to take it. [00:16:35] Speaker C: Get those little. [00:16:37] Speaker A: The crazy metals that, like, flip and. [00:16:39] Speaker C: Yeah, yeah, yeah. I start doing that. I have it, and I've started. I'm actually, like, farther because I didn't realize that it, like, counted your whole day that you walked, and I thought it only, like, counted your workouts or something like that. No. Count your whole day. So it was nice to see what it does and stuff like that. [00:17:10] Speaker A: How much does that cost? [00:17:14] Speaker C: It costs, like, 30 bucks. [00:17:15] Speaker A: Yep. It's always how it goes. They're like, hey, you know, give us 30 bucks, walk 20 kilometers, and we'll give you this crazy little piece of metal. [00:17:24] Speaker C: Yeah, well, you can choose how long it is. So the one that I chose it. Let's see. It's 45 miles, and you can actually change which my. The miles that you can make it more or less. You can tell it how long you want to take. And it, like, I think it starts with people that, like, are similar starting time than you, and it shows you where they are on the map. [00:17:56] Speaker A: I. I would just, like, put it on, like, a dog and, like, you know, like, put, like, whatever, like, Fitbit or whatever, like, on a dog and, like, go run, and, like, the dog will run around like crazy. It's, like, 45 miles done in 30 minutes. That's crazy. [00:18:12] Speaker C: Yeah. And then, like, if you're doing, like, an actual spot, like, it start, it gives you, like, postcards from different spots with, like, the picture and stuff. And then it has different pictures of, like, and video of, like, wherever. Different popular local spots. So, like, the Tokyo one, it goes by the Maguro river, cherry blossoms, and, like, it basically takes, like, a half an hour to walk that river and show you different. Like, stuff. Like, there's some. Like, it could. With that one, it got a little boring. But the next one is the Nezu shrine, and the Nezu shrine was actually a little bit better. And the last one is something else, but the name splurged out because it's locked. And then, like, when you do it, they do. They help fund, because in foreign countries, they don't have, like, CRV and stuff like that and stuff to really recycle plastic. So they do these stuff where, like, they'll give people money and Stuff for turning in the plastic bottles and stuff like that. So, like, for every. So for every 20 you complete, they'll fund 10 bottles. So they'll fund 50 plastic bottles. Stop going into the ocean and stuff like that. Or they'll plant trees if you want to do trees instead. [00:19:55] Speaker A: What's crazy is, like, most companies have stopped recycling plastic because it is so expensive. And they like doing, like, aluminum, because you can recycle aluminum forever. [00:20:10] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:20:12] Speaker A: So it's like, yeah, I like aluminum. [00:20:15] Speaker B: Aluminium. [00:20:17] Speaker A: Yeah. We're not British. We won in 1776. [00:20:22] Speaker B: It's just fun to say it that way. Your mouth feels funny when you say it. [00:20:27] Speaker A: It's like they say Parmesan here. Weird. Like, how do they say it? Parmesan. [00:20:34] Speaker B: I just like words that make my mouth move in funny directions. [00:20:41] Speaker A: But, yeah, you should, like, do, like, Pokemon Go alongside that. Because you get rewarded for walking. When Pokemon Go. Do you play Pokemon Go at all? [00:20:56] Speaker C: No. [00:20:58] Speaker A: You should get back into that. It's, like, actually kind of fun, like, every once in a while, like, fire it up. And then it's like you walk, like, 20 kilometers. Holy shit. Here's a bunch of pokeballs. And I'm like, okay, cool. And I immediately throw them in the trash. But last Sunday, we went out. Or was it. No, Saturday? Last Saturday. That's. That's right. That's why we didn't record an episode. Like, I did, like, a little halfy last Saturday. We went out and saw the comedian Louis ck. He didn't jerk off on nobody. It's disappointed. [00:21:42] Speaker B: Oh, my God. His joke about doctors was amazing. You go to this doctor. Oh, go to that doctor. You go to that doctor. Why are you here? Go back to that doctor. Hilarious. That is my life these days. [00:21:56] Speaker A: And I thought for sure that they were gonna, like, confiscate everyone's cell phone or. [00:22:01] Speaker B: Oh, my God. You were so convinced that was going to happen. And I was just like, what the. [00:22:05] Speaker A: In comedy clubs, it. You know, typically in, like, with, like, you know, highbrow fucking comedians, they'll give you what is called the yonder bag. And it is just like, this bag that, you know, hold your cell phone securely. That way you can't record or do anything with it. And I'm like, okay, cool. Yeah, that. That will fucking work. And stop secret videos from getting out. I mean, you can't 100% stop it, but you can stop, like, 90 of it. And it makes people focus on, like, the comedian, too. So it's like a double win. But no, they just trusted people to be adults. Now, the second the show ended, like within minutes, like the show ended, he's like, all right, have a good night. My wife immediately went to the bathroom. [00:22:57] Speaker B: Yes. [00:22:59] Speaker A: And they weren't even going to let me wait for her. They're like, get out. Leave. The party's over. Gone. Get out. They're like, you know, hitting us with brooms and like, get the out of here. I'm like, you're all getting paid by the hour. Like le. You know, like they're like ushering everybody the out. I'm like, that's like, I haven't seen a movie theater empty this quick. This is like, you know, couple thousand people just gone. And getting out of there was a nightmare because there's just cops everywhere. [00:23:39] Speaker B: There were cops everywhere. Like the fuck. [00:23:45] Speaker A: But the place is not fucking sold out. Where the. Sometimes it sucks being old. Let's get into some stories. Let's start off with something really good. Bill Gates, you know, like the founder of Microsoft. That guy, the multi billionaire. [00:24:09] Speaker B: He's still alive? [00:24:10] Speaker A: He's still alive. Yeah. Him and his wife, Melinda Gates. [00:24:13] Speaker B: Okay. [00:24:14] Speaker A: Like, they have a, you know, foundation and all that. He is gonna give away most of his 200 billion dollar fortune to Africa. [00:24:25] Speaker B: Billion is abbreviated by BN. Yes, that looks dumb as. [00:24:29] Speaker A: I know, but don't worry, you'll never have that kind of money. [00:24:32] Speaker B: It should be bln that way, secret that way. If you add one more hump, it's blm. [00:24:42] Speaker A: Yep. But. So Microsoft founder Bill Gates is going to spend most of his fortune over the next 20 years helping Africa by unleashing human potential through health and education and helping, you know, all the countries in Africa, you know, get, you know, better. [00:25:05] Speaker B: Yeah. Advancement requires money. Welcome to capitalism. [00:25:10] Speaker A: I mean, this is going to sound mean, but pull yourself up by your bootstraps and, you know, try not to get robbed by white people next time. [00:25:23] Speaker B: I do like the phrase pull up your bootstraps though. [00:25:26] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:25:27] Speaker C: No, actually, like, that's not even a real thing. Like that was meant to be sarcastic because pulling yourself up by your bootstraps is impossible. [00:25:36] Speaker B: I thought it meant like you were like dragged like under like the boat or some. [00:25:41] Speaker C: No, it's meant to be like, for poor people that you need to pull yourself up and like work harder and like that when that sometimes it actually is really hard to get out of poverty and like that. [00:25:53] Speaker B: I'm tired, Grandpa. [00:25:55] Speaker A: Well, that's too damn bad. Yeah. I mean it. [00:25:58] Speaker C: You bought your 45, $45,000 house and now it's 10 times that and salary isn't 10 times what it used to be. Nope. And you expect it. I saw a post on Reddit where like they were doing affordable housing and the people nearby who were in affordable housing and they have their rent kept and were paying for 600 to $1,000 when the market rate was like 2,000 to 3,000 and they were complaining about more affordable housing going in. [00:26:38] Speaker A: Well, I mean, like I, I, there's like certain places in like New York where like they, they got like a rent lock. Yeah, like, like just like this is, you know, what you're gonna be paying until you move out. And like they've just renewed their lease. Renew their lease. And, and now it's like, you know, dirt cheap for them to live in New York. You know, they don't have to pay for nothing. And just generations of families have just been living there. It's like, you know, good for you guys though. But it's like there should be like ways to fucking lower the prices of houses. I mean like, I've already bought a house, so now I'm like, fuck everybody else. You know, raise them house rates, I don't care. But you know, I, I, I would like it if, you know, new houses go cheap. Like, like a house is like the one, you know, one of the very few things that you can buy and it'll go up in value. You buy a car fresh off the lot loses 50% of its value immediately. Boom. Drops like a rock. You know, it's like I'm gonna go buy a $10,000 car. You drive it off the lot for the $5,000. [00:27:56] Speaker B: So I'm Cat sitting for like a really rich couple and like the really ritzy side of college. Colorado Springs, like above Woodman, where all like the million dollar mansion houses are. That's who I'm cat sitting for. And I was, and like I went to, I went there this morning and there was like a shit ton of yard sales. And all these houses had like yard sales for like kids stuff. And it looked like a farmer's market. And I was like, what the fuck? And then I went back this afternoon and there were these. And like this chick was like kidding, cutting her head, her kid's hair out in the front yard. And my first thought was, they're allowed to have fun on their front yard in this expensive ass place. What the fuck? [00:28:38] Speaker A: We're allowed to do that. [00:28:40] Speaker B: I just found it completely shocking. Like they're perfectly green like lawns and what shot. And they're allowed to have kids on it. Like, the hell. I thought that was, like, Karen Hood, where you can't do anything in your front yard. [00:28:52] Speaker A: That's hoas. [00:28:53] Speaker B: Oh, my God. And one of the girl. And, like, one of, like, the garage sale signs, like, I drove by and it said, free beer. And I was like, what? And then underneath it said, just kidding. Come to our garage sale. And I was like, you motherfucker. [00:29:07] Speaker A: See, I like, if I could start going to garage sales, I will start buying people's useless shit. Like, this is a guaranteed thing. Like, I will find something at everyone's garage sale. Oh, that seems awesome. Oh, that seems awesome. I want to buy that. I want to buy that, you know, and none of it, I need. It's all impulse purchase. [00:29:30] Speaker B: Oh, yeah. No, garage sales are 100% impulse purchases. [00:29:34] Speaker A: So I'm like, I'm staying the fuck out of those. You know, like, someone will have, like, a bunch, like, magic the Gathering cards. I'm like, yeah, I'll buy them all. And hopefully they're just dumb and they don't know what they have. And I'm like, seven bucks, and I'll buy this entire box. Binder of cardboard. And, you know, sometimes, like, yeah, that sounds good. But yeah, I'm like, I'm waiting till, like, the economy really takes a. And people are, like, really struggling, and, you know, they need. [00:30:07] Speaker B: Is MTG really still popular? [00:30:10] Speaker A: Of course. [00:30:11] Speaker B: Seriously? [00:30:12] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:30:13] Speaker C: Wow. [00:30:13] Speaker A: They had a Lord of the Rings series. [00:30:16] Speaker B: They did, yes. I love Lord of the Rings. [00:30:19] Speaker A: I know you do. Magic the Gathering secret lair, you know, so, yeah, it's like new secret layers all the time. [00:30:31] Speaker B: Oh, so they're saying they're, like, keeping up. [00:30:34] Speaker A: Oh, they are printing money. They don't care. [00:30:37] Speaker B: Nice. [00:30:39] Speaker A: They're pieces of shit. Fuck these guys. [00:30:41] Speaker B: Oh, they've gone. Oh, they've gone, like, all EDM with it, haven't they? [00:30:44] Speaker A: Yeah, like, there's Ghostbusters. There's a fucking Miku Hatsune and fucking some, like, camp One fucking final Fantasy. There's secret Lair. National association of Latino Arts and Cultures. [00:31:01] Speaker B: That sounds amazing. [00:31:04] Speaker A: So, like, they'll fucking take, you know, Latino art and then fucking throw it in. [00:31:08] Speaker B: Oh, it's beautiful. [00:31:09] Speaker A: And, you know, like, that, like, that's gonna be, like, a whole fucking thing. [00:31:15] Speaker B: Authenticity is so much better than mainstream. And I don't care how woke. [00:31:20] Speaker A: That makes me sound very fucking woke. [00:31:22] Speaker B: I know. I try not to, like, make. I try not to be too strong about it. I fucking love diversity. [00:31:30] Speaker A: I can't help it, but it's like every, you know, single One, you know, it's like, oh, you know, secret player. There's like one of those, like old cartoons and stuff. But yeah, it's just like, you know, new, like they just take old, you know, fucking Marvel and Deadpool, you know, just, you know, Deadpool, you know, and unicorns and all kinds of shit. [00:32:05] Speaker B: Okay, I'm sorry to everyone who's about to hear this, but that's kind of lame. [00:32:09] Speaker A: Yes, a lot of it's lame. They had Final Fantasy, you know. [00:32:14] Speaker B: I thought you liked Final Fantasy. [00:32:16] Speaker A: I mean, it's all right, but it's like, you know, you are printing money at this point and, you know, like, I looked up the prices of a lot of these cards. I'm like, oh, that looks cool. How much is that? It's like 7 cents. And it's like, damn. People are fucking paying real money for these cards. They're just dump in value. Like, there'll be like one card that's like good, or maybe three cards that are good. [00:32:41] Speaker B: What's the last game you played besides all your shooting games? [00:32:45] Speaker A: What do you mean? Like, I used to play Magic the Gathering, but, you know, it's expensive now and I, I'm just like, I haven't kept up with it. I'm like, yeah, none of my shit's legal. I'm not gonna, you know, go bothered learning all the new rules. But, you know, and I, I, I'm not gonna go spend like a hundred dollars on a fucking box of magical Gathering either. Just too much money. And then you have like, I, I got rid of probably like 10,000 cards. And I'm pretty damn sure that my dad still has like a shitload of them. [00:33:28] Speaker B: You still have a shitload down in the basement or crawl space? [00:33:31] Speaker A: No, those are gone. [00:33:33] Speaker B: You really? Really? [00:33:34] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:33:34] Speaker B: Oh, nice. [00:33:38] Speaker A: Yeah, I, I got rid of like a load of them. I offloaded them and I'm like, hell yeah. I mean like, I got like a hundred dollars for it all. I'm like, yeah, it's fine. I'm like, you can probably get like, you know, $500 if you really go through it all and, you know, pick through it. But it's like, it's. [00:34:02] Speaker B: That takes time. [00:34:03] Speaker A: Oh, yeah. It'll be like, you know, 40 hours of work. [00:34:08] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:34:08] Speaker A: For it's. You're literally getting paid minimum. You're paying yourself minimum wage. [00:34:14] Speaker B: Yep. That is precisely what you're doing. [00:34:17] Speaker A: And it's like, I don't want to do that. I'm like, yeah, I'll easily take 200 bucks. And you go through this and then I get to keep all my expensive. That's fine. But yeah, so good. Good job, Bill Gates. You know, you're giving money to Africa, a really old country that should have gotten on their feet, but they still haven't. So sell your Microsoft stocks now because that, that's all gonna go to. [00:34:55] Speaker C: You think so? [00:34:57] Speaker A: Oh, yeah. [00:35:00] Speaker C: Why? [00:35:01] Speaker A: He owns Microsoft. And if he's going to just give away all his money, it's like, like you could help people here in the United States. And I'm not like talking like someone like me. I'm talking like desperate, desperately poor people where $20 will make their entire week. It's like you can help the, you know, the desperately poor in the United States, but you're gonna go to another country and be like, hey, look, I'm helping Africa, you know, and it's like they have other countries all around them that could help them. And they do get, you know, money all the time. And I'm not being a dick, I'm just like, you know, you, you could, you know, give them, you know, $100 billion and you know, bring like $50 billion over here to like, help kids, you know, get into, you know, schools and, you know, help single mothers and like that. Just, you know, help people with like, medical debts, you know, make it to where you have a scholarship program, help, you know, kids that want to, you know, improve the world. Big boom. There you go. Now you get into mit. It's like, oh, thank you. Fucking Bill Gates. But, you know, it's his money and he gets to do whatever he wants with it. I'm just, you know, saying how it is. [00:36:34] Speaker C: But Bill Gates already does do that stuff though. He has a foundation. [00:36:38] Speaker A: Yeah, the Melinda Gates fan or. Yeah, the. [00:36:41] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:36:43] Speaker A: But I'm saying he can do more. Like he, he can expand the numbers of kids that get into, you know, good schools and shit like that. You know, he still has $200 billion with a B. It's like, yeah, instead of, you know, just going over to another country and just throwing them the money to some of their corrupt ass governments, you know, that that's, you know, part of the reason that are, they're desperately poor is the governments over there can be bought and they get all the money, but, you know, no one actually wants to fucking look into it. They're just like, eh, whatever, who cares? But I mean, I, I can't solve the world's problems and eventually I'll die and I don't care. But on to the next story. An AI company files for bankruptcy after being exposed as 700 Indian engineers, which I find great. I like that. That's how I thought, like, the AI all started. This is like a bunch of Indians, you know, busting their asses. Like, the opposite of, like, the scam callers. Just like, you know, these guys are actually, like, working hard and trying to give you the best information. [00:38:11] Speaker B: So why is this a bad thing? [00:38:15] Speaker A: Well, because it was backed by Microsoft and it was valued at $1.5 billion. [00:38:23] Speaker B: What's the difference between it and an AI and a company that's working hard? [00:38:30] Speaker C: Well, because that's not what they wanted. [00:38:32] Speaker A: Yeah, they just wanted a fucking. An app. [00:38:34] Speaker C: They wanted computers to do it. [00:38:37] Speaker B: But they hired this AI, Right? They hired a company or entity. [00:38:42] Speaker A: Yeah, but it, like, there was no AI. [00:38:46] Speaker B: I don't understand why that's bad. They did the same service as the AI. Correct. [00:38:53] Speaker A: Not as good, though. It was an app building service called Natasha. And, you know, you had a, you know, pay for, you know, the plans and all that. And Microsoft gave them, you know, $455 million for their neural network, which I guess it was. It was a neural network of Indians and, you know, valued the company at $1.5 billion. And it's just like, you know, 700 dudes. [00:39:24] Speaker B: I don't understand why this is a bad thing. They hired a com. They hired this AI to do a specific purpose. Correct. [00:39:32] Speaker A: Like, imagine, you know, buying a robot, and you find out that this robot's just a dude in a robot suit. [00:39:41] Speaker B: Did the dude in the robot suit do the tasks I wanted the robot to do? [00:39:46] Speaker A: Not as good as the robot could have done it. [00:39:48] Speaker B: Like, not as quickly or not as. [00:39:51] Speaker A: Quickly and as efficiently. [00:39:53] Speaker B: Hmm. But if I didn't notice the difference. [00:39:58] Speaker A: If you didn't know, it's a different. Like, a bunch of people didn't notice the difference. I'm sure they got a money, and. [00:40:04] Speaker B: So these engineers were paid. [00:40:09] Speaker A: But I'm sure they are getting fucking worked to death. And, you know, I'm sure it, you know, just started slacking down and down and down. But it's like, you know, when you go to an AI, you expect, boom, quick, boom, quick. You know, not, hey, we'll get it done in two weeks. Like, if you, you know, hire an AI, you're just like, okay, I want this done in an hour. Make me an app in an hour. And it's like, oh, no, we're just 700 dudes. [00:40:40] Speaker B: Hmm. [00:40:42] Speaker A: Now I can actually kind of wonder if, you know, it still exists. Search Google For Natasha. Natasha. AI builder. AI. Let's. Let's see if. Oh, it is. It's still around. [00:41:07] Speaker B: Well, of course. [00:41:08] Speaker A: Pricing. Explain your idea. Yeah. Oh, you have to request a quote. What a fucking piece of shit. [00:41:16] Speaker B: Of course you have to request a coat. Request a quote. If humans are involved, it's like sale. It's like when you go to like. It's like when I go to like the website for like therapy laser and I look at all the different models and I clicked price and it says get a quote. It means I have to deal with a human. I just completely changed tables on what I just said before. Oh, my God, I'm a hypocrite. Oh my God, I'm a hypocrite. Ah. [00:41:54] Speaker C: I just switched sides, what you're asking. You know, it's actually pretty funny. I also saw another story about how it was on the anti work, someone was going on vacation and I guess they're one of like the drone pilots and they're starting to implement some AI in their company and his boss was like needing him for stuff and I'm like, tell them we can do it when I get back. And they. He tried to push some off of him about AI that was produced by the AI and they didn't. Weren't gonna take the job until other co. Other people, like co workers showed them other footage of what they actually produce, what he actually produced. Because I guess for like when you're doing that, you need like a pilot's license to operate like a drone and like that it's. And to get permits and. So weird. [00:42:59] Speaker A: Yeah. I want to see like what happens with like, you know, all these vehicles that are going to be driving around, like they'll, you know, they'll say, hey, AI is great. You know, it's going to take over your trucking job and it's like, oh, it's going to, you know, be able to navigate through Wolf Creek Pass when you can't see the roads. So none of their cameras are going to be able to see the roads. So there's no cell phone reception up there and it's all icy. So yeah, you know, AI is going to do all of that. Yeah, right. [00:43:35] Speaker C: They actually are testing it in Texas. Oh yeah, there's people on the road 100%. [00:43:43] Speaker A: Like on flat driver on flat, you know, straight roads, you know, it's the equivalent of a train. Like that. That's all they can do, the equivalent of a train. And guess what? If a train track gets a bunch of snow on it, the train can't do anything. The train's just done for the winter. You know, there's some of them that do have plows and, you know, blowers and all kinds of shit, and they can try and go, but it's like at the same time, it's like, no. And I. I'll be thoroughly impressed if someone figures it out, because it's like, it's hard enough for me as a professional driver, you know, to get through the snow. And it's like, if this AI up and crashes a truck in the snow, guess What? Now you're 100%, you know, at fault. And now your AI company, you know, owes a truck and, you know, more AI and all that shit and, you know, a lawsuit and hopefully they didn't crash anybody else. And it's a nightmare. So, like, I'm not like, everyone's worried about AI and I'm like, it's not going to happen in my lifetime, and if it does, it's going to happen at the end of my lifetime. [00:45:00] Speaker B: Yeah, we're in the shitty phase to take over. [00:45:05] Speaker A: And I'm not going to have no kids. So I don't care. Whatever, you know, let it happen. [00:45:10] Speaker B: I don't have to leave anything for the future with responsibility. [00:45:14] Speaker A: And if you're so worried about the future and how awful it's going to be, don't have kids. Like, if you have kids. It's like, I have hope for the future. It's like, I'm not. I don't have kids. I don't care. [00:45:25] Speaker B: I have hope for the future, but I don't want to add to overpopulation. [00:45:28] Speaker A: I. I vote for the sun blowing up and killing everything. [00:45:32] Speaker B: It won't happen. Eventually. Eventually our sun will turn into a black, Black nova, black star. [00:45:41] Speaker A: It will not turn into a, you know, black hole. It is not big enough, does not have enough weight to turn into a black hole. [00:45:50] Speaker B: This is how little I know about astronomy. [00:45:53] Speaker A: Well, I mean, God damn it, who the fuck is that? You know, one guy that. The astrophysicist. Oh, fuck. Why is my brain blanking on the black astrophysicist? [00:46:07] Speaker B: Neil Tyson. [00:46:08] Speaker A: Neil Degrasse Tyson. [00:46:10] Speaker B: I was close. [00:46:11] Speaker A: Yeah. Like, that guy, you know, was very smart and I liked listening to him because he explains it in ways that I can understand. And I appreciate that. I appreciate it when you, you know, have advanced information yet explain it in the way that dumb dumbs can understand. [00:46:30] Speaker B: Well, it's not dumb dumbs. It's just using layman's turns. [00:46:33] Speaker A: Speaking of dum dums TSA urges people to stop trying to use a Costco card as a sufficient real ID at airports. [00:46:43] Speaker B: That's amazing. [00:46:46] Speaker A: So for those of you that do not know what I'm talking about, the TSA is requiring real IDs, and in your real ID, you have, like, this little fucking star, you know? [00:47:01] Speaker B: And there's a star on the Costco card. [00:47:03] Speaker A: I know. And that's why people are trying to use it. Being funny. But, like, if you check, like, on your id, you'll have, like, a little star in a circle. [00:47:12] Speaker B: Huh? [00:47:13] Speaker A: Like, I have one there in my corner. [00:47:15] Speaker B: You just happen to have your wallet on you always. I was right. You don't have a purse. [00:47:20] Speaker A: I mean, you have one, too, so you're all good. [00:47:22] Speaker B: I know, but mine's in my purse, which is in another room because I don't have pockets. [00:47:26] Speaker A: But, yeah, so you. You have that. But since the Costco card does have a star on it and a picture and your name and Costco cards are. [00:47:37] Speaker B: Kind of a bitch to get. [00:47:38] Speaker A: Not really. [00:47:41] Speaker B: Okay. No. When I had to replace mine, it was an absolute bitch. [00:47:48] Speaker A: But. So apparently, people have been going into airports with their Costco wholesale gold star member card and trying to use it as id. [00:47:59] Speaker B: It's brilliant. [00:48:01] Speaker A: And I guarantee you, one dumbass TSA person is, like, fine. [00:48:08] Speaker B: Yeah. No, seriously, that's precisely what happened. [00:48:11] Speaker A: Let them through. [00:48:13] Speaker B: That's like the cop who accepts, like, the get the get out of jail free card from Monopoly. [00:48:18] Speaker A: I guarantee you that's not a real thing. It's just like a fucking skit. But, you know, it's like. It's a good grift, and I appreciate it, but I. I want to see this in real life. I want to see someone that's like. [00:48:35] Speaker B: I still have my Costco card. Do you want to do it when we go flying? [00:48:37] Speaker A: No, I still have my Costco card, too. [00:48:40] Speaker B: Then let's do it. [00:48:42] Speaker A: They'll be like, you know, hey, I'm like. Like that. I mean, it has my member number, my name on it, and a picture, A member sense. [00:48:51] Speaker B: And a gold star. [00:48:52] Speaker A: It's not even a good picture. I mean, like, it's. [00:48:54] Speaker B: Yeah, no, your picture. [00:48:55] Speaker A: Shit. [00:48:56] Speaker B: Babe, I love you, but you've taken better photos. [00:49:01] Speaker A: I'm. I'm not there to take a good photo. And plus, you just scan your shit at Costco. [00:49:06] Speaker B: Precisely. I think this is brilliant. [00:49:10] Speaker A: I think we should, like, you know, go pick up her Sam's Club cards. I don't know if they have a star on them, but, like, is this good. I guarantee you, someone like, 100%. [00:49:19] Speaker B: My Costco card, I don't need. Okay, I'm, I'm. I'm not okay if the tsa. I'm middle class, but I am not white fucking trash. [00:49:28] Speaker A: I kind of hope that the TSA agent tases you. Like, if you pull out. Like, if you pull out your Costco card, they should just call it a threat and just tase you to the. [00:49:38] Speaker B: Ground with me in my boot. That'd be fucking hilarious. [00:49:42] Speaker A: And they're like, oh, my God, that poor lady. Was she with you? I don't know her at all. She was just behind me in line, I guess. That's crazy. [00:49:50] Speaker B: Oh, I'm a Karen. [00:49:53] Speaker A: This is my id. It's too early in the morning for this. [00:49:57] Speaker B: It is too. Okay. Do you ever come across those channels where it's like conversations between, like, the air tower and the pilots? [00:50:06] Speaker A: Yeah, of course. [00:50:06] Speaker B: Okay, there's this one, and this is like one of my life mottos is this pilot is insisting he can fly into a zoned off airspace for like, the Air Force. And like, the tower is like, you can't fly there. And the pilot's like, yes, I can. And I. Word for word, the air tower says, sir, I just clocked in 11 minutes ago. You can do whatever the fuck you want. And that is my life motto. [00:50:32] Speaker A: That's a great motto. [00:50:33] Speaker B: It is. I see that all the time at work. It's great. [00:50:41] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:50:42] Speaker B: With all due respect, sir, I clocked in 11 minutes ago. Like, it is too early. [00:50:52] Speaker A: But. All right, next story. I love this. This is Texas. A man faces charges for drawing chalk crosswalk at intersection he says is dangerous. [00:51:05] Speaker B: You know, I'm here for this dude. [00:51:07] Speaker A: Oh, this is in Charlottesville, Virginia. An activist, pedestrian safety in Virginia is facing charge. I've never actually seen anyone use a crosswalk. They will walk across the street close to a crosswalk, but it's just jaywalking non stop. Like people don't know what it means. Like, they treat, you know, crosswalks the same way a cat treats a crosswalk. They don't care that it exists. Yeah, but the speed of cars is the biggest problem. The dude says they drive too fast and ignore pedestrians. You know, a 64 year old woman was hit and killed in this area in October 2024. [00:51:51] Speaker B: Oh my God. Was it his wife? [00:51:53] Speaker A: No, I doubt it. [00:51:58] Speaker B: Because now if it's his wife, it makes him a vigilante. I've learned this from Marvel. If your partner dies, then you get to be a vigilante. If your partner doesn't die, then you're the villain. [00:52:18] Speaker A: But yeah. [00:52:19] Speaker C: What? Again, I'm sorry, what? So wait, so if you die, if Alex was saying if your partner died, you. Oh my God. Shit. [00:52:31] Speaker B: If your partner dies, you get to be the vigilante. And I know I said that word wrong. [00:52:38] Speaker C: Yeah, so what do you mean? [00:52:40] Speaker B: Okay, this dude started drawing crosswalks after this 64 year old lady died. If she's someone he didn't know, then they're like pressing charges. But if it's his wife, then he's being a vigilante and he's not going to get in trouble with the law. I've learned this several times from Batman. [00:52:56] Speaker A: There's a dude that died like right next to my hotel like a couple months ago. And yeah, he was like crossing the street, jaywalking at night, like at 11 o' clock at night. Like there's wearing black clothes probably, but there's no one around at 11 o' clock at night. I can like lay in the middle of the street. Ain't nothing, no one. It's a dead town. Everything's closed. [00:53:21] Speaker B: It is a dead town. [00:53:22] Speaker A: And you know, this dude managed to like hit the, you know, only car, gets himself killed. And like I'm taking the bus back and I see a load of police lights. I'm like, oh hell no. That better not be in front of my hotel. And it was like right behind my hotel. [00:53:43] Speaker B: This is humanity at its finest. [00:53:46] Speaker A: Yeah, that guy. [00:53:50] Speaker B: I love this. [00:53:52] Speaker A: And I'm like, oh, thank God. Now it smells like barbecue. [00:54:00] Speaker B: It does, but like charred barbecue. [00:54:04] Speaker A: I have a feeling if they're probably having like a little bonfire or something, there's like a party that's going on. [00:54:10] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:54:11] Speaker A: So yeah, I mean like, hopefully this guy is, you know, doing good or whatever, but yeah, he's fucking like, you know, doing chalk. It's like, obviously it's not that dangerous if you can get on your hands and knees and fucking make chalk art in the middle of the road. But let's get on to some. Am I the asshole? Am I the asshole from Russ Peterson? Am I the asshole for telling my friend she can't bring her dog to my place anymore? I, 30 male, have a close friend, 31 female, who's super attached to her dog as 31 year old females are. She brings them everywhere. Cafes, hikes, even to people's houses. For a while she brought him over whenever she came to hang out at my place. And I didn't mind too much at first, but lately it's become a problem. Her dog is big. While he's not aggressive, he's not exactly well trained either. He jumps on my couch, which I've asked her not to let him do. Knocked over a lamp the last time, and even peed on my carpet once. [00:55:15] Speaker B: Okay. [00:55:16] Speaker A: Yeah, no, she always apologizes and kind of laughs it off. Like, that's just how he is. So last week, before she came over, I asked if she would leave her dog at home. She got pretty offended and said I was being uptight and clearly didn't understand how important he is to her. Now she's being distanced, and I'm wondering if I was out of line. I like dogs. I just don't want my place wrecked. Am I an asshole for setting that boundary? [00:55:41] Speaker B: The dog pissed on the carpet. There's a difference between a dog being big, a dog with no manners, and a dog pissing on the carpet, quite honestly. [00:55:52] Speaker C: Like, if she needed. If you wanted her over, then anything that her dog damages, then you should make her sign something that she assumes responsibility. Yeah, and follow through on freaking charging her for any cleaning or for replacing any items. [00:56:09] Speaker B: Yeah, because I don't know if OP lives in the house or Freeze or if OP is renting the house. But the dog pissed on the carpet. Cards are off the table. [00:56:19] Speaker A: Let's see what people are saying. Not the choosing her irresponsible owner. [00:56:23] Speaker B: Yep. [00:56:24] Speaker A: I run German Shepherds, and if I come over to your house with my dog, I ask permission first. When I get there, I usually, you know, point to where I want, you know, him or her, usually under a table. And they stay in less cold. They understand rules are different at other people's houses. [00:56:41] Speaker B: Dogs with manners are very important, especially big dogs. Yes, big dogs need manners. They can't help it. They're big dogs, but they need manners. [00:56:50] Speaker A: Everyone's saying you're not the asshole. [00:56:52] Speaker B: Yeah, the dog pissed on the carpet. [00:56:54] Speaker A: I mean, you know, they're not even bringing up the piss on the carpet. [00:56:57] Speaker B: The dog pissed on the carpet. At least dog piss is easier to get up than cat piss. [00:57:04] Speaker A: And here's another. Am I the asshole? I like this one, so I added it in by ammonia. Am I the asshole for secretly replacing my late brother? [00:57:14] Speaker C: Are you still there? [00:57:15] Speaker A: Yeah, I'm here. [00:57:17] Speaker B: What? [00:57:17] Speaker C: What the heck? [00:57:18] Speaker A: Oh, no. Did. [00:57:19] Speaker B: Can you hear us, bestie? [00:57:24] Speaker A: Oh, no. You see, my bestie. [00:57:31] Speaker B: My bestie. [00:57:33] Speaker A: Disconnect and reconnect if you can hear me. [00:57:35] Speaker B: Is she abandoned to me? [00:57:41] Speaker A: I wonder if I can, like, you know, disconnect and Reconnect. There we go. See if it like, if it works. TDlr, are you back? [00:57:58] Speaker C: Yeah. I don't know why I couldn't hear you. [00:58:00] Speaker A: That's weird. Yeah, but. But back to Am I the asshole by ammonia. Am I the asshole for secretly replacing my late brother's ashes with fireplace ash so I can keep the real ones? My brother passed away two years ago. We were incredibly close. He basically raised me after our parents died. He always said he didn't want to be buried or scattered. He wanted to stay with the people he loved. When he passed, my family decided to scatter his ashes at our childhood. Our childhood homes lake. I was devastated. I wanted to keep a small urn, but my older cousin who organized the memorial said that it was morbid and selfish and insisted that all the ashes be scattered together. Everyone else went along with it. Here's where it gets weird. I work at a lab and I quietly took a small portion of his ashes before the official scattering. To avoid suspicion, I replaced what I took with near identical weight of grave fireplace ash. No one noticed. Now I have a tiny urn in my apartment and I feel closer to him because of it. I told my best friend recently and she was mortified. She said it was deceptive, disrespectful to the rest of the family, and possibly even spiritually selfish. I haven't thought of it like that. I never meant to hurt anyone. I just felt like it was the only way to keep a piece of them with me. So am I the asshole for secretly replacing some of my brother's ashes before the family scattered them? [00:59:32] Speaker B: What the fuck? Of course not. His family are the assholes. [00:59:37] Speaker C: Yeah. They didn't abide by his wishes. [00:59:39] Speaker B: No, they didn't. [00:59:40] Speaker C: And quite honestly, like, technically she was the next of kin, so she should have been the one in charge instead of anyone else. [00:59:48] Speaker B: Yep. [00:59:49] Speaker C: And like she ended up letting her family railroad her. And she should have said no in the first place to them doing any thing that he didn't want. She should have said, hey, I'm gonna give you a part of his ashes. He didn't want to be scattered. He wanted to be with family. You can do what you want with your portion and left it at that. [01:00:14] Speaker A: Like, I. I just like imagine like a tiny little urn, you know, just. [01:00:19] Speaker B: Like cat size ear. [01:00:21] Speaker A: Like I'm thinking like something like even tinier than that. But it's like, you know, like, like in my head it's like he just like took like a little like golf ball size amount of you Know, Ash, and I'm like, I, I. You should have just, like, taken all of it. You should just, like, you know, had an urn and then like, hey, you can, you know, fucking do this. You know, gray fireplace, ash, all of it. You know, just like, you know, do a little swap a room. Like, boom, there you guys go. [01:00:46] Speaker B: I mean, Op was literally grieving the loss of her older brother. Like. Like, she was probably not in the best place to be able to defend herself. And if everyone else is pushing her for it and she's in this complete world of grief, like, she's. Of course she gave in to peer pressure. [01:01:04] Speaker A: Yeah, your. Your friend that's, like, spiritually selfish. Sounds like a, you know, white crystal. So just, you know, know that you're in the right and you get to be with your brother, and it's fine, you know, just do it. Do what you want, you know? [01:01:22] Speaker B: Well, I once heard when you lose someone close to you, like a family member or a partner, your reality now splits into two worlds where there was this individual and where the world where this individual is no longer. And it takes a long time, if not forever, to be able to disconnect the two. There are times in Op's life where her brother is still there, and there are times when she's reality where her brother is not there. And it's got to be so confusing. Yeah, Like, I think about that a lot. Like, literally, you're moving from a space where you had said individual to space where you don't have said individual, and your brain is having to rewire itself. [01:02:05] Speaker A: Well, we'll do this last relationship advice real quick by throwaway. I, 28, female, freaked out about my boyfriend, 30, male's fetish request, and broke up with him. He wants to explain, even if we don't get back together, is there any good explanation for what he wanted? Just tldr, because it's a long story. He wanted to be cucked. [01:02:32] Speaker B: He wanted to be what? [01:02:33] Speaker A: Cucked. He. [01:02:34] Speaker B: Oh, he wanted someone else to her while he watched. [01:02:36] Speaker A: Yep. [01:02:37] Speaker B: Okay. [01:02:40] Speaker A: Like. Like, I already, like, read through it all, and it's like, you know, he's like, you know, and your boyfriend's like, hey, you know, no pressure, nothing. But yeah, he, you know, the actual idea. He wanted me to have sex with his friend while he watched. So, I mean, like, like that. That's like, the only, like, weird part. It's like. It's like someone that he already knows. [01:03:15] Speaker B: Why is that weird? It'd be weirder if it wasn't. If it was Someone he didn't know for my opinion. [01:03:20] Speaker C: Well, quite honestly, and clearly, these are. [01:03:22] Speaker B: Bros, and this is bros before hose code. [01:03:26] Speaker C: No, it's fucking weird because then it will be, like, weird, awkward stuff because you know each other. You have to see each other. Well, I mean, if things become awkward, then you kind of have to cut off that friendship. [01:03:41] Speaker B: Well, this is why boundaries seem to be set beforehand of what expectations and. And rules are. You don't just, like, do this, like, all of a sudden, like, oh, let my best friend. You, like, no, you guys have to agree on what is and cannot be done. [01:03:55] Speaker A: But, you know, it's like, you know, that that's his fetish, and you didn't have to break up with him for it. Meow, meow, meow. [01:04:04] Speaker B: I mean, but if OP Is not up for it and it's a deal breaker for OP Then it's allowed to be her deal breaker. [01:04:11] Speaker A: He. He was being respectful, and he was just like, hey, I have this request. It's totally fine if it's a no. But, you know, she, you know, started freaking out immediately, which she's allowed to do, and then broke up with them. [01:04:23] Speaker B: Yeah. If it's a deal breaker for OP it's a deal breaker. [01:04:26] Speaker C: You should, like, some people, like, I've. I've seen it where, like, a man suggests an open relationship and just suggesting that, or a woman suggesting that, like, it's happened both times where they feel like, oh, that can't be something that we do at all, like, and that it ends their relationship because it's a deal breaker. It's really weird. Yeah. [01:04:54] Speaker A: I mean, like. But I feel like that, you know, a relationship is a place to, like, you know, like, hey, you know, here's, you know, something that I. I've thought about that I want. Or it's like, you know, dude is like, hey, you know, can you, like, peg me? Or, you know, hey, you know, do you want to try blood player? Hey, do you want to, you know, do any of this, you know, crazy and, you know, if that's not your thing, you can make, hey, that's not my thing. You know, And I don't think this relationship's gonna work out, but it's like, you don't have to freak the out. And it's like, you know, like, I'm never seeing you again. [01:05:28] Speaker B: Feelings are valid. [01:05:29] Speaker A: They are? Yes. [01:05:38] Speaker B: Someone who draws blood. I do not understand blood play. And that's okay. But if you wanted to do it, I would say no. [01:05:44] Speaker A: Oh, it's a vampire thing. [01:05:46] Speaker B: Oh, with like fangs and. [01:05:47] Speaker A: Oh, yeah. [01:05:48] Speaker B: Like, with, like, puncture points. [01:05:50] Speaker A: I mean, sometimes. [01:05:50] Speaker B: Yeah, like, cat bites. [01:05:52] Speaker A: Like, usually, like, you know, how it will be done is, like, they'll, like, safely, you know, withdraw, you know, the blood and then, you know, play with it and have sex while, like, rubbing blood all over. And. [01:06:05] Speaker B: It just sounds like period sex. [01:06:08] Speaker A: Or, like, you know, rubbing blood, like, on chest and. [01:06:10] Speaker B: And, you know, I just like the idea of being bit. I don't like the idea of bleeding afterwards. [01:06:18] Speaker A: So. Yes, you know, that. That sucks, dude. There. There's websites for that that you can, like, find, you know, girls that are totally into that twin. My brain's saying Twitter. What's that? [01:06:39] Speaker B: What? T, X and xx? [01:06:41] Speaker A: No, no, no. I'm the. The fucking dating website, Courtney. What's a dating website? [01:06:46] Speaker B: Fish. [01:06:47] Speaker A: No, the T word. No, the tea one. Not Tumblr. Yeah, like, your brain's going the same place that mine is. [01:06:55] Speaker B: Tinder. [01:06:56] Speaker A: Tinder. [01:06:57] Speaker C: That's Tinder. [01:06:58] Speaker A: Yeah. Go find, you know, a girl that's willing, like, somebody else in front of you, you know, on Tinder. Like, yep, they'll be down for it. But until, you know, next week, that that's where we're gonna go ahead and end this, you know, don't yuck on someone's yum. You know, it's fine to have kinks and whatever, but just set rules first and, you know, don't freak out, like, if someone's like, hey, I have. You know, this is like, a thing. [01:07:28] Speaker B: I, like, I don't think OP freaked out. [01:07:32] Speaker A: I think OP really Ops, you know. Okay, so op, you know, freaked out. [01:07:39] Speaker B: But it's freaked out me, like, I don't even understand. [01:07:41] Speaker A: It says right there, you know, I freaked out. [01:07:42] Speaker B: What does freaked out mean? [01:07:44] Speaker A: It means, like, she, like, you know, like, broke up immediately, you know? Anyway, at some point in my conscious stream of consciousness attack, I told him we're done and left his place, not even grabbing my stuff. He's been texting me, trying to get the chance to explain, saying that we're not even. Even if we don't get together. He wants to explain what he's actually asking and what, you know, his feelings for me are, slash, were. So. [01:08:14] Speaker B: Okay, so Opie's boyfriend wants to communicate about how he felt because he wants to eradicate any confusion, which I appreciate, but Opie doesn't have to. Opie. If Opie wants to listen or if Op doesn't want to listen, there is no bad answer here. It's up for her to decide what she wants, but I think what the boyfriend's like or ex boyfriend's trying to do is, like, polite. Instead of just leaving her confused, he was going to tell her why he wanted to do it and what he expected. And so at least that would have given op more information to understand in the future. Like, information's important. [01:08:52] Speaker A: And, girl, you're 28. Like, I've heard of, like, way crazier. And I'm not that older. Much older. [01:08:58] Speaker B: People are just, like, vanilla for their whole lives. And that's fine. [01:09:01] Speaker C: It. [01:09:04] Speaker A: That'S fine. But until next week, we'll be back, and then we're going to go on vacation. So I don't know what we're going to do for that episode. We'll figure it out. [01:09:14] Speaker C: All right? [01:09:15] Speaker A: But until then, bye. [01:09:17] Speaker C: Bye.
