Episode Transcript
[00:00:00] Speaker A: Alrighty. Alrighty, everybody. Welcome back to another episode of the Human Podcast. I am your host, as always, Alex the truck.
We got my wife with me, not the truck. And Courtney.
[00:00:12] Speaker B: Hello.
[00:00:14] Speaker A: My wife is a little bit sick. I got her some soup today.
And as I was checking out, I got myself some soup, you know, And I'm like, oh, yeah, I'm gonna love, you know, having soup for me too.
I dropped my soup and immediately busted it on the floor right in front of an overworked retail worker.
I'm like, oh, no. And, like, I, like, watch, like, her entire, like, world shatter. I'm like. Because she was so fucking busy. I'm like, I'll clean it. It's fine.
You know, I'm like, that. That's, like, what I should be doing anyway.
[00:00:51] Speaker B: Okay. The giant jars of the Tostitos, like, nacho cheese, like, the big jar.
I once dropped that and broke that in the store. And it also hit the cart on the way down, so it made a ginormous mess because it was the big jar, not the little jar.
[00:01:09] Speaker A: Oh, no.
[00:01:11] Speaker B: And like, the problem was there was like, there was a person there, and he was working at, like, the other end of the aisle. And, like, he watched it and then I looked at him and he looked at me and he just walked away.
[00:01:25] Speaker A: Yeah, he didn't see.
[00:01:26] Speaker B: I was like, that's fair, bro. That's fair. So I went and found another person to confess my sins too.
[00:01:33] Speaker A: Yeah, he didn't see a goddamn thing.
[00:01:35] Speaker B: Nuh. He was. He wasn't getting paid enough to see that goddamn thing.
[00:01:39] Speaker A: Yeah, no, like that. That's the whole thing. It's like, when you work in retail, you do not get. Like, I would watch people steal. Like, back when I worked at Walmart, like, the first time I saw someone steal, like, obviously. And I, like, told, you know, the manager, and they're like, give it to him. And I'm like, oh, we're just, you know, allowing this bad behavior. Okay, so if you go to a Walmart and steal, no one gives a. Just. Just like, let you know. I mean, I'm sure there's someone. Yeah, they do.
[00:02:10] Speaker C: They do care.
Like, they do the same thing. Like, they wait until you rack up enough where it's prosecutable and it's a felony.
Target does the same thing too.
No, they wait until you rack up enough.
[00:02:28] Speaker A: And remember, you see, here's the thing, though. It's like, if they, you know, get the wrong person, you know, and you walk in and like, they're like, oh, you're under arrest because, you know, you're this person and then it's like, oh, wait, you're not that person. Guess what? You have a huge lawsuit. I'm not a lawyer, but I assume you'd have a huge lawsuit, you know, against that store. And they'd just be like, okay, yep, here's, you know, $15,000 or whatever.
Sorry about that whole thing.
It's like, yeah, dude. Like, you can't just, you know, go out and arrest people off of some.
But, you know, they'll definitely try.
But yeah, you, you can steal all day. There's people that have stolen, you know, hundreds and thousands of dollars.
Like, I, I saw the back end on how much we lost at Walmart and it's intense. It's like, yep. No, we, we just get everything stolen all the goddamn time, you know, and Asset Protection will watch you sometimes if you're, if you walk into a Walmart looking sketchy as they're watching you.
But if you're, you know, in there, you know, looking, you know, like a white person, I don't give a shit. You can steal all you want.
[00:03:51] Speaker B: But also, it's Walmart.
[00:03:55] Speaker A: We've literally had people get an associate get an L cart, and, you know, they put a TV on the L cart, just telling the associate that they bought this tv.
You know, the associate doesn't give a shit. You know, he's like, okay, yeah, you know, why would he lie?
And as long as you're convincing enough to, you know, underpaid teenage associate, the associate will help you walk it out the door. And since the dude's right there with you, no receipts getting checked, they'll even help you load it into your fucking truck. And then you drive away.
And then the boss comes out, hey, did you check that guy's receipt? And it's like, what? And they're like, wait, that guy didn't pay for a tv.
It's like, oh, no.
And you know, he's gone now, so. Yeah, I mean, bad shit always will happen at Walmart. And if you want to steal from them, go ahead.
Like, this is like literally shit that's happened. Like, like I watched, you know, and the guy looked at me, look at him. Like I was working in sporting goods.
And he takes an expensive, you know, tackle box. It was like a big old tackle bag, probably like a 200 tackle bag. He pushes it over to $40 section. I, I'm like watching him do this, you know, like, huh? Yeah, you know, like Monty Python, you know, when like the prince is like, you know, making the arrow and shooting it out and the two guards, like, yeah, you know, I'm like. I'm like, the guards, like, watching him, you know, and if you get the reference, it's a great reference.
And, you know, then he comes over, he picks him up and has the gall to walk straight to me, you know, after you see me, you know, notice him and watch him. I had nothing better to do than stand behind the counter.
And he's like, I found these in the $40 section.
I'm like, you do know I was here the entire goddamn time, right? Like, you. You looked at me, and then you did it. Like, you. You're like. You're like a cat at this point. You know, you. You saw me see you, and then you did it anyway. And you're like, I didn't.
You know, you. This is just being a piece of shit. I'm like. I'm like, I literally watched you do it.
I watched you.
I'm here as a witness. That camera, that camera and that camera all watched you do it, too.
And he's like, give me your. Give me your manager right now. I'm like, all right. And then, like, manager comes through, and it's like, just give it to him.
And then, you know, take $20 off each one as well to, you know, for the inconvenient. I'm like, like, if you're not gonna have our backs, I'm just gonna tell everyone to steal. And so now I do steal from Walmart. I don't give a.
Oh, wow.
[00:07:01] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:07:03] Speaker A: You know that, like. Like, what. What are they gonna do if they're like, just, you know. Yeah, go ahead and give it to them. Go. Yep, do it.
Yeah.
100. That place, you know, I like it now. I don't work there anymore, so I don't really give a.
You know, yes, you can get arrested. Yes, you can get charged.
And, you know, it's like, oh, yeah, you stole, like, $2,000 worth of. From Walmart. And then they'll give you, like, probation and charge you, like, 200 bucks and slap a misdemeanor on.
You know, I'm not guaranteeing that, but, you know, the way that the justice system in this country actually fucking works, I wouldn't doubt it. Or they just dismiss the entire thing altogether and then forget about it, and Walmart just tries to sue you instead, because now they have all your information and you just bake. Guess what? I. You know, go ahead and try and sue me. I don't have any money. Walmart that's why I'm stealing from you guys.
Yeah, Walmart makes stupid amounts of money.
You know, you're. You're not hurting them at all.
But let's get into some fucking stories.
So this one here is right from my wife. She sent this one to me.
[00:08:27] Speaker B: She's like, wait, I don't get blamed for this?
[00:08:31] Speaker A: What? You don't get blamed for the story?
[00:08:34] Speaker B: No, no, I know.
[00:08:38] Speaker A: What if it's like the most popular fucking story?
[00:08:40] Speaker B: No.
[00:08:41] Speaker A: All right.
[00:08:42] Speaker B: I don't want cred. This is your podcast.
[00:08:44] Speaker A: Well, she sent the story.
[00:08:46] Speaker B: Oh, my God.
[00:08:47] Speaker A: You know, probably because it was probably her.
It seems like, you know, my wife, you know, if she was ever in like FFA or 4H or whatever the fuck they call it out there anymore.
But California Girl 9, which is my favorite number. Sue's State Fair, after her pet goat was sold and barbecued, after her mom entered it for auction. And the cops were sent hundreds of miles to retrieve it when family took it back.
[00:09:18] Speaker B: What? I did not read this. I just saw the title.
[00:09:21] Speaker A: See, I like to imagine that the goat was already barbecued, already had barbecue sauce on it, you know, looking great, and there's like a bunch of this barbecue. And the cops, like, were sent hundreds of miles and then they get like, hungry on the way back and they're like, man, I'm hungry. And they look in the back seat like, oh, dude, we have some barbecue back here. And they like eat it. Not thinking about, you know, what it is. It's like, oh, it's the girl's little goat. And they just bring back bones and make. This is all that was left. Sorry about that, little girl, but it was Jessica Long.
You know, this is back in April 2022, but.
But yeah, her goat was sold for $902, slaughtered and barbecued, despite the family wanting it to. Wanting to withdraw its entry for auction. Sorry. Once you put something up for sale, it's gonna get sold. You know that. That's just how it is. You know, this is a great time to teach your kid, you know, lessons about life and death. Just do that. You know, your. Your goat's going to fucking die.
Tough shit.
But Jessica Long's family bought Cedar the goat, a seven month old white boar boer, in April 2022. The animal formed an attachment to the nine year old daughter who, who fed and cared for it every day. This, this is like Wilbur the.
[00:10:54] Speaker B: You know, Wilbur creeped me out. I hated the rat.
[00:10:58] Speaker A: Yeah, I mean, like, everyone forgets like the pig's name. The pig's name was Wilbur.
And, you know, the spider. Everyone forgets the spider's name, too.
I forgot the spider's name.
[00:11:08] Speaker B: Is it Wilfred?
[00:11:10] Speaker C: No, Charlotte's.
[00:11:12] Speaker A: Charlotte's. Yeah.
[00:11:13] Speaker B: Oh, my God. Okay, you. I was so confused because you kept saying Wilbur was the name, and I'm like, no, Wilbur's the pig.
[00:11:18] Speaker A: Wilbur's the pig. Ye. Some pig. Yeah, I know.
[00:11:21] Speaker B: I thought you meant that, but you said Wilbur. It's like it was the title, and that wasn't the title, but it was the name of the pig. So you were right. But I was still confused.
[00:11:28] Speaker A: That's all right. Yeah, but, yeah, no, the. The book was Charlotte's Web. They also made a movie out of it.
[00:11:35] Speaker B: It was creepy.
[00:11:36] Speaker C: Yeah.
[00:11:37] Speaker A: And, like, they. They should have finished it with, like, them killing the fucking pig anyway.
[00:11:43] Speaker B: Well, yeah. Now. Now that his bestie died, why should he have to live without his bestie?
[00:11:48] Speaker A: Oh, no. The spider had babies.
[00:11:50] Speaker B: I know. And the babies all left.
[00:11:51] Speaker A: No, a couple of babies actually stayed.
[00:11:53] Speaker B: Oh, okay. That's better.
[00:11:55] Speaker C: Yeah.
[00:11:56] Speaker A: Yeah. Then that's the. You know, how it all ends is, like, you know, he's like, oh, no, she's dead. And, like, the fucking spider, like, a bunch of them fucking, like, fled.
And, like, I think, like, one or two fucking spiders, like, hey, we're still here. Are we good enough? It's like, fuck, yeah, you are.
And, like, I would love it if, like, the farmers, like, spiders, like, squashed them and kills a pig. Like that. That's a perfect fucking ending.
Just.
And then, like, oh, shit, a rat fucking shoots the rat.
[00:12:26] Speaker B: The rat needed to go.
Rat was creepy. I hated the rat.
[00:12:31] Speaker A: Everything dies.
[00:12:37] Speaker B: And that's why I really don't like ratatouille, because what's his fluff? Reminds me of the rat from Charlotte's Web.
[00:12:44] Speaker A: The. The fat brother?
[00:12:45] Speaker B: No, the main character mouse. I can't remember his name.
[00:12:48] Speaker A: Remy.
[00:12:49] Speaker B: Remy. Thank you. Like, if I can't remember your name, I call them what's their fluff? Instead of what's their Face?
[00:12:59] Speaker C: So funny.
[00:13:00] Speaker B: I like fluffy cats.
[00:13:03] Speaker C: I. I feel like. Like the family is in the right, though. They signed up, but they. They tried to pull out long before the auction was even held. And that happened. Stuff like that happens, though.
I would have just said that the goat died and couldn't be auctions if they put up a phone. Okay.
[00:13:23] Speaker A: Like in the story, the mother, after seeing her daughter sob by the goat's pen at the fair, decided to steal back the animal at the last minute and deal with the consequences later.
[00:13:33] Speaker B: Queen.
[00:13:34] Speaker C: Well, no, it says in the top of the article that they did try to pull out before, but the. The.
[00:13:41] Speaker A: Yeah, Once you put it in. Yeah, yeah.
[00:13:45] Speaker C: I always said the goat died.
[00:13:47] Speaker A: Oh, yeah. No, the goat's dead. 100%. Yes. That's why they're trying to, you know, sue.
[00:13:52] Speaker B: They couldn't just pay the. The. The new owner wouldn't agree to sell the goat back to them.
[00:13:58] Speaker A: Like, if I was the new owner, I back $1,000, you know? And it's like, then you get this goat back and it pisses all over the place and then gets hit by a car anyway.
Be hilarious.
Like, don't get your fucking child. Like, something that is like a slaughterable animal.
Like, am I wrong here?
[00:14:19] Speaker B: No.
[00:14:20] Speaker A: Yeah. Like, if you get your kid, you know something, it's like, we're gonna kill this thing. Don't get him a pig. Don't get him a fucking cow. Don't get him any fucking livestock that is, you know, for food.
[00:14:33] Speaker B: Okay. So one of my teachers in Big animal in my vet tech program, she told me this really cool story.
So she grew up on a dairy farm, and the dairy farm was right next to, like, a expanding city. And so she had friends that were in the city but weren't exposed to any type of farm culture. And so she said one time she and her sisters were around the table and they were like, damn, Betty tastes good. And their city friend's like, who's Betty? And they're like, oh, it's the cow we raised. And the city friend is just, like, so offended. And they're just like, what? Betty was meat and Betty tastes good.
Like, it's all about exposure and a lack of knowledge.
[00:15:14] Speaker C: Yeah, I mean, like, oh, they probably shouldn't have named. My mom ended up naming her her cow. Hamburger.
[00:15:22] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:15:24] Speaker A: Yeah, That's a common name.
[00:15:25] Speaker C: Eat it.
[00:15:26] Speaker B: Why not?
Okay. If I raise, will you be able.
[00:15:30] Speaker C: To eat goo a cow?
[00:15:32] Speaker A: Yeah, Goose is a cat.
[00:15:33] Speaker B: Oh, I don't eat rabbits.
[00:15:34] Speaker C: Would you be able.
[00:15:35] Speaker A: Yeah, but if goose was a cow or a pig or, you know, something that tastes delicious cooked? Yeah.
[00:15:42] Speaker B: Okay. I look down on herbivores, so it doesn't matter. I'll eat it.
[00:15:48] Speaker C: I mean, cat can probably be good.
[00:15:51] Speaker A: It's not. It's not very like, I don't eat predators.
[00:15:55] Speaker B: I just eat prey.
[00:15:58] Speaker C: Oh, my God.
[00:15:58] Speaker A: No, I mean, your predator preys on crunchies and, like, food from a bowl.
[00:16:04] Speaker B: I'm sure he ate a mouse at least once in his life. He used to roam when he was younger.
Every now and again, I'd let him go out with Momo.
[00:16:14] Speaker A: Yeah. Moe is over here killing birds left and right.
[00:16:18] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:16:19] Speaker A: You know, she. She is a little killer, but yes, she is.
[00:16:22] Speaker B: Or she was. She chunky lady now.
[00:16:25] Speaker A: Well, she's old, but so, yeah, they don't get a goat and, like, just go fucking buy another goat. Like, take that fucking money and go, you know, lie to your kid. Just lie to your kid and be like, hey, we got the, you know, goat's child.
You know, it's not even a good looking goat.
[00:16:47] Speaker B: Okay, so the mom stole the goat before it was.
[00:16:52] Speaker C: Yeah, but they. No, they ended up, like, issuing a warrant for it and stealing the goat back.
[00:16:58] Speaker B: Huh.
[00:16:59] Speaker C: And they were actually supposed to wait, but they didn't wait.
So that's kind of why they're in trouble, because they were gonna go and do a civil suit or something. There was a civil suit involved with this.
So. Yeah.
And they. The goat was cooked at a barbecue.
[00:17:19] Speaker A: I mean, you should, like, you know, show the. Like, take the kid to, like, a slaughterhouse. Like, it's a good experience. Slaughterhouses are cool, you know, especially the bolt gun. It's like, oh, that thing is so.
[00:17:33] Speaker C: Glad you guys aren't having kids that.
[00:17:36] Speaker A: Yeah. Like, have like a pneumatic bolt gun.
[00:17:39] Speaker B: You know, that poor thing would be raised such a freak.
Like, I would go let it run wild in the forest for like a few weeks and come back, I'd take.
[00:17:49] Speaker A: It out to the forest and make. All right, we're gonna go, you know, have some.
[00:17:52] Speaker B: Yeah, raise it like half Tarzan or some.
[00:17:55] Speaker A: It'd be tardzan.
[00:17:57] Speaker B: Like, I want it out in the wild.
[00:17:59] Speaker A: Oh, man.
Phenomenal.
Flew over everyone's heads.
[00:18:07] Speaker B: No, I heard it. I. But I didn't think it was that funny.
[00:18:09] Speaker A: Pretty godamn funny, but. All right, so, yeah, the. The. These.
Yeah, they. They took the goat, drove it more than 200 miles back before delivering it to an unnamed individual at the fair for slaughter sl destruction.
Despite the fact that the warrant required them to hold the goat for the court hearing to determine its lawful owner.
Yep. So tough, you know, get wrecked, you know, don't fucking take it and, you know, auction it off.
I'm sure this is gonna be a lesson you're gonna fucking learn, but, you know, to follow this up, a German discount chain, Penny, had a bunch of goats or sheep.
I mean, what's the difference?
Around 50 sheep wandered into a penny supermarket in a small Bavarian town, Bergson, in southern Germany.
And you just see these sheep just fucking wandering around I don't know how the fuck they really got in.
[00:19:17] Speaker B: Sheep are so dumb.
[00:19:20] Speaker A: Sheep are actually pretty goddamn smart.
[00:19:22] Speaker B: No, sheep are dumb.
[00:19:24] Speaker A: I've never run over a sheep.
I've run over porcupines. I've run over deer are.
[00:19:30] Speaker B: How do you know you hit a park? How do you know you hit a porcupine?
[00:19:34] Speaker A: Because I saw it.
They're very big.
[00:19:37] Speaker B: They're big.
[00:19:38] Speaker A: Oh, they're huge.
[00:19:39] Speaker C: Yeah.
[00:19:39] Speaker B: Wait, how big are porcupines?
[00:19:41] Speaker C: I think you're talking about a hedge. I think you're thinking about a hedgehog. Okay, that's the size of your paw, like hand.
[00:19:47] Speaker B: No.
[00:19:48] Speaker C: Okay, porcupine is bigger.
[00:19:50] Speaker B: I thought it was about the size of a squirrel.
[00:19:53] Speaker A: No, they're way bigger than a squirrel.
[00:19:54] Speaker C: No, they're the size of like.
[00:19:56] Speaker B: Because I know hedgehogs and porcupines are different. I understand they're different.
They're that fucking big.
[00:20:03] Speaker A: Yeah, they're fucking huge.
[00:20:04] Speaker B: Ew.
My God. These fuckers are ugly.
[00:20:09] Speaker A: They're very cute.
[00:20:10] Speaker B: Oh my fucking God. These are hideous.
They are brilliant.
And really fucking these.
[00:20:17] Speaker A: Okay, I mean like that's a small porcupine there.
[00:20:19] Speaker B: These things are ugly as fuck.
[00:20:21] Speaker A: I mean like the, the wild porcupines are like, like, like a medium sized dog.
[00:20:26] Speaker B: Making it worse. Are porcupines rodents or.
[00:20:28] Speaker A: Oh yeah, they're rodents for sure.
[00:20:30] Speaker B: Okay, so they are mammals, but yeah.
[00:20:34] Speaker A: No, they, they, they squish very nicely so they don't pop my tires.
[00:20:39] Speaker B: Wait, can you confirm the rodents?
[00:20:43] Speaker A: Is porcupine a rodent?
Go to. All because I was showing my wife images on.
Yes, porcupine is a rodent known for its large slow moving rodent covered in sharp quills belonging to the order Rodenta, despite their name being spine. Latin for spine.
[00:21:06] Speaker B: We could have had capybara. Capybara. And instead we got porcupines in the.
[00:21:10] Speaker A: U.S.
i'm sure we have capybara here too.
[00:21:13] Speaker B: And zoos.
[00:21:15] Speaker A: Yeah, I mean that.
Yeah, See like this is how big a porcupine.
[00:21:24] Speaker B: It looks like a peacock.
[00:21:25] Speaker A: Pretty much.
[00:21:26] Speaker B: Yeah, pretty much. And okay, I do like it more now. That looks like a peacock.
[00:21:30] Speaker A: Yeah, I mean like that, that, that's like a good one there. Yeah. I mean they, they don't.
[00:21:34] Speaker B: Okay. No, I only like the certain colored.
[00:21:36] Speaker A: They don't shoot their quills. Like, I don't know who came up that dumbass shit.
[00:21:41] Speaker B: Disney.
[00:21:42] Speaker A: You know, it's like, it's like. That'd be cool like that, like that would make like a porcupine actually dangerous. Like they'll like raise their Quills up. So if you continue to approach, you're gonna get stabbed. But no, they don't do any of that thing.
[00:21:56] Speaker B: It was really sad when the dogs came into the clinic covered in porcupines.
[00:22:01] Speaker A: Good.
[00:22:02] Speaker B: It was like, oh, you're and a. It was awful. They're in so much pain. But also was like, oh, you're a special level of stupid. Okay.
[00:22:14] Speaker A: So back, back to these sheep.
Speaking to the German newspaper, the store manager, Jurgen Kips initially thought that he was being pranked. I've never experienced anything like this before, he told the newspaper. I thought we were on candid Camera.
During a short visit, the flock managed to cause a fair bit of mess.
They ran straight towards the fruits and vegetables.
You know, if they had run straight towards the fruits and vegetables, you wouldn't have been able to get them out.
[00:22:46] Speaker B: See, they're dumb.
[00:22:49] Speaker A: I mean, they're flock animals.
[00:22:51] Speaker B: They should have smelt of. They should have smelt it and gone straight to it.
[00:22:56] Speaker A: No, it's not what they.
Their noses aren't great.
[00:23:01] Speaker B: What do you mean? They're grazers. Of course their noses are good.
[00:23:04] Speaker A: Why would you think the sheep noses are good?
[00:23:07] Speaker B: Because you want to eat the best grass first.
[00:23:11] Speaker A: They don't care what grass they're eating. They don't even care if it's grass.
[00:23:15] Speaker B: That's true.
[00:23:17] Speaker A: They don't have great noses.
I'm sure their noses are burnt out just by smelling other sheep.
But yeah, I just found that adorable. Just like a bunch of little farm sheep just running into a supermarket. Just up everything but flock distracted. Possibly distracted by acorns.
The flock shepherd told Bavarian radio that he suspected the sheep were distracted by acorns on the ground and lost contact with the rest of the flock.
He suspects someone probably ran into the supermarket with a bag and they followed.
[00:23:56] Speaker B: Yes, I told you.
[00:23:58] Speaker A: The animals perhaps mistaking the bags for feed or a bag of salt.
[00:24:02] Speaker B: They're stupid. Yeah, they're doing their best, but they're stupid.
[00:24:10] Speaker A: Penny said it also sponsor the 50 sheep for a year. That's pretty cool like that. That's why Germany is pretty, you know, fun, you know, times.
Now. Now for the next story.
Also from the other side of the world. Dutch couple's marriage nulled due to chat GPT speech.
So I, I, I read through this story. They used a chat GPT to make like a fun, you know, wedding vows and it was playful but it failed to meet the legal requirements according to a co court ruling.
The pair from the city of Z Zol and they redacted their names, argued that they had intended to marry regardless of whether the right wording was used when they took their vows.
Yeah, they. According to the decision, the person officiating the ceremony last April 19 asked whether they would, you know, continue supporting each other, teasing each other, and embracing each other even when life gets difficult, the Paris that I do. And the officiant declared them not only husband and wife, but above all, a team. A crazy couple and each other's love and home base. Apparently, that wasn't good enough.
You know, so a judge is like, yeah, you're not actually married.
[00:25:48] Speaker C: And it's like, that's so stupid.
[00:25:52] Speaker A: I. I'm sure they can go do it again. I'm sure she's stoked. She's like, I get to do it again.
Or. Or they just think, go to, like, their version of, you know, Vegas, you know, Dutch Vegas or whatever.
But, yeah, now they have to, like, go redo it again because this judge wants to be a.
[00:26:16] Speaker B: Well, also, laws have magic words that mean different, that have, like, special definitions.
[00:26:21] Speaker A: Yeah. If you say, you know, certain words, you know, like allegedly, like, if you watch the work, the news, and someone's like, allegedly, because if they, you know, accuse you of something and you know you didn't do it, boom. Slander case.
[00:26:37] Speaker B: Yeah. You know, yeah, they're secret words.
[00:26:41] Speaker A: I. I love the secret words.
But now we're on to, you know, am I the.
And we got, you know, a few advice and then one relationship advice. So am I the asshole really quick?
By Wellness Hefty 3927, am I the asshole for not agreeing to pick up my niece at 3am's, no questions asked?
You know, this, like, just based on the title, I'm like, probably.
This happened a little over a week ago. I'm still catching shit for it. So I thought I'd seek judgment.
My sister had her friend over, and they were in the lounge with my sister's kid, who is 13.
Not sure of the exact conversation before I went in, but I heard the friend Julie, tell my niece Sam, that if she needed to be picked up from somewhere, it didn't matter where, when, or why, she'd be there. That she could call her at 3am from the boonies. This says local lingo that refers to an abandoned factory complex where interesting things happen about 40 minutes out from the blah, blah, blah, and she'd be there in her pajamas with McDonald's, no questions asked.
Sam thought this was amazing and was spewing praise to Julie, who said it had Nothing to do with any and that anyone would do the same.
They seemed to notice that I was around, and Julie asked me if I would do the same.
[00:28:06] Speaker B: Okay, so are these people all sitting in the same room?
[00:28:09] Speaker A: Yes.
[00:28:09] Speaker B: Okay, continue.
[00:28:11] Speaker A: I said no, and that seemed to stop everyone in their tracks. I clarified that, yes, I'd pick her up, but there'd certainly be questions.
[00:28:18] Speaker B: And.
[00:28:18] Speaker A: And it'd be crazy not to have questions.
Sam said I was not. I wasn't allowed to ask and it was none of my business. Julie was glaring at me for some reason and muttered something I couldn't hear under her breath to my sister.
I did explain my reasoning, which was the boonies were over a half an hour away and there's no public transportation to get there. If Sam was at the boonies at 3am and discounting the fact that she shouldn't be be there, she would not have gone on loan, so there'd be another child to consider. And she doesn't have any friends old enough to drive yet, so she would have to, you know, get taken there.
She would.
So I'd firstly need to know that she was safe and unharmed at the minimum, who she was with and how she got there and her. And where her friend was, and if her friend was back with whomever brought her there. And I would just make sure to take Sam home. But if her friend was still there, you can better ask. We'd be staying until her friend was in the back seat on her way back home too. Sam got really huffy and said it was none of my business and even less about who she was there with. And Julie made a comment about how it's not that deep. I said, you know, it was that deep. And I knew how Sam worked.
Um, and if I did agree to a no questions asked approach, I did need.
And I did need to pick her up then. And I asked questions, she'd fly off the rails, accusing me of backstabbing her, which she's done for other things in the past.
Julie started banging on about how I was implying she was irresponsible and, you know, just trying to have Sam's back and being a buzzkill, you know, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
And, you know, pretty much, you know, all these kids are, you know, upset that, you know, sister won't come out there and fucking save him, no questions asked.
[00:30:16] Speaker B: Okay, so this phrase, I understand its importance, but I feel like it needs to be no questions asked. It needs to be no judgments made.
Like, I feel like that's a better way for it. To be said. Because if I had to do that for someone 100%, I'm going to do that.
Obviously, I'm going to go pick them up. I am not going to berate them or anything. I want to get them home safely. And then we do need to talk about what's happened once everyone has calmed down and things and everyone has a clear head. Like, to me, I would. I would. I think the phrase would be no judgment, not no questions, because I agree with everything that OP is saying. But she. Okay, everyone is way everyone. Everyone's just, like, taking this out of, like, proportion.
From my perspective, I think that's the right phrase, but they're all making it a bigger mess than it needs to be.
[00:31:14] Speaker A: Yeah. I mean, like, they want to know that they have, you know, like, a cool aunt that will come save them and not, you know, go and snitch on them. It's like, you know, hey, I understand your kids, and you want to go have fun, you know, be responsible. Let me know. You know, let me bring you out and we can go have fun. But it's like, at the same time, it's like, I don't want you to, you know, go out and become a statistic or become a news story or, you know, become the next reason why someone doesn't go out to the fucking boonies.
[00:31:47] Speaker B: Yeah. Like, if this happens, you need to talk about what's happened, and that way everyone can learn from the situation, and it's a growing moment for that young individual, too, and it's a way to change patterns and that kind of stuff. Like, this is a really good opportunity to reset things if it's done properly.
[00:32:06] Speaker A: I mean, like, you know, I. I went out and, you know, raised my fair bit of hell, but, you know, like, I. I guess, like, I'm a dude, so I, like, it's, like, different for us.
[00:32:17] Speaker B: It is different for you.
[00:32:19] Speaker A: You know, we don't have to worry about anything. We just, like, walk back and it's all good.
So. Yeah, I mean, you know, being judgy and like that, you know, I'm sure, like, the way you said it, you know, was. Was, like, a little bit, you know, harsh, but, you know, you can turn around and at the same time, just be like, yeah, you know, I. I will come get you. You know, obviously, like, if you're like, I'm like, that's why I thought at first, like, that's why I'm like, I think you're the.
[00:32:53] Speaker B: No, that's why I held my peace.
[00:32:55] Speaker A: Yeah. Like, yeah, I'll make a judgment based on the title. Yeah, if you didn't go get them, you know, you're 100 the. If you're like, no, you figure it out yourself, you know, 100 the yeah, you have to go get it.
[00:33:08] Speaker C: It would actually like. If it was like the way you say it, I wouldn't do this repeatedly for the same person. If they kept on getting themselves in situations that required me to come pick them up, I would say, unfortunately, you need to do your get your big girl pants. Well, if they weren't underage, but if they were an adult and kept on needing me to pick them up in the middle of the night, like, no.
[00:33:37] Speaker B: Yeah, no, that's, that's just positive reinforcement.
[00:33:39] Speaker C: But if it was like a one time thing or like very occasionally hit the fan or something, then of course.
[00:33:47] Speaker A: Here'S what I would do. If they, if they kept on calling me for rides, I would call the cops and you know, like, hey, there's a massive party going on over here.
And then the cops come to bust that the down and you know, then the cops get your, you know, kid sister back home. It's like, there, there you go.
You know, now you're back home safe and sound and now you don't have any friends because, you know, your older sister narcissist.
So now you're not going to get invited to parties anymore.
But I mean, no, you're not an for putting down your foot.
I mean, you know, this isn't something that needs to be happening in like a group setting. This is something that needs to, you know, be like a one on one conversation. Just be like, hey, you know, there's real consequences that can happen when adults are not around and have that, you know, real conversation with, you know, bad things that can happen, you know. So yeah, you're not being a buzz killer or anything like that. Let's see what the comments say.
My mom always said I can, you know, phone her whenever and wherever and she drop everything to come fetch me if I needed it, especially while I was drunk and alone.
She never said there wouldn't be questions, but promised I wouldn't get into trouble for calling and asking and wouldn't make me feel guilty that I asked. Not the some questions need answers, especially if safety is concerned.
Yeah, exactly. That's what I told my team. He won't get in trouble for it, but there'll be a discussion later, you know, so yeah, I mean everyone's, you know, rocking the same thing.
And yeah, there's, there's always gonna be questions. You know, they're like, oh, no questions asked. There's always questions.
But next one for advice.
Ivory stripes. I realize my boyfriend I've been dating for two years might be a flat Earther.
I don't even know how to start this. I'm pretty shocked at the conversation I just had. My boyfriend has been sending me reels, showing me a theory where the earth is encapsulated in an ice wall.
Hi, Mo. Yeah.
Are you just a cutie little patootie? Okay, yeah. Find a happy spot.
Find a happy spot. Yeah. Find a happy spot.
He's been showing me reels where the earth is encapsulated in an ice wall and a tiny part of the greater earth and land. Yeah, blah, blah, blah. So he's just a Flat Earther retard.
I brought this up.
He has brought up conspiracies, but not anything like this. I have a science degree and I'm trying to explain to him gravitations, gravitational pull. He said that's what they want us to believe. I feel like he's being punked, but, you know, how have I gotten this long without knowing this crazy belief he has had? This has to be a deal breaker, right? Yep, it is.
[00:37:04] Speaker B: Oh, my God. I really hope he's just doing a prank, but no, she needs to dump his ass.
[00:37:10] Speaker A: Yeah. I mean, if you're this fucking stupid, you know that, like, it's like, oh, no, you live on flat earth and I live on round earth.
We can't be in a relationship. You need to go find another, you know, dumb lady to.
Well, I'm sure there's so many fucking know dumb flat earth women.
What. What do you think, Courtney?
Like if.
[00:37:34] Speaker C: Yeah, dump him.
[00:37:36] Speaker A: Hear that, guys? If you're. If you're dating Courtney and you're Flat Earther, get the out.
Yeah.
And th. This one I. I read because I. I thought ED at first was erectile dysfunction.
By pendavar 420 i26, female, am a nurse, and my boss is threatening to fire me because of it. Eating disorder I don't have.
Last week my boss called me in for a meeting because he noticed I never eat at work and she's worried about me since I'm naturally skinny. I told her that I eat when I get home, I'm not insecure about my body. And any way, I even asked what's wrong with my body, which would cause me to starve myself. She didn't answer and she doesn't believe that I eat at home. I Don't have an eating disorder, but I lose all appetite when I look at other people eat. I can't stand the smell either.
[00:38:41] Speaker B: Girl.
[00:38:41] Speaker A: I know that it's even just knowing that other people are eating makes me nauseous.
I obviously can't eat in the same room as my colleagues. And I'm not allowed to eat outside the break room. And I'm not allowed to take my breaks after my colleagues are done either. Therefore, I'm not eating at work. My boss told me that if I. If she doesn't see me eat before next week, this week, she'll have to let me go. Things haven't changed. I'm having a meeting with her tomorrow.
When I'm, you know, been honest with people, they see it as an attack that I find them disgusting, which is somewhat true and always makes things worse. What do I tell her?
[00:39:22] Speaker B: This is fucking weird. And okay. A. I wonder if she is. Has like arfid. However you want to pronounce it and be like, I understand. I don't know.
I'm trying. The only thing I can see this boss being worried about is if it's like a liability of some kind. But I don't understand how I. I.
[00:39:42] Speaker A: Have the ending to the story too. So.
[00:39:44] Speaker C: Yeah, yeah, she's. She quite honestly, like, she should be able to go somewhere else during her break and not be in the break room.
[00:39:52] Speaker B: That's also true.
[00:39:53] Speaker A: And also in an edit that she says, I don't have eating disorder or arfid or disordered eating. I can eat with my friends and family who don't eat meat with zero issues. I enjoy going to veggie restaurants. Unfortunately, meat is a huge part of many people's daily lives.
That someone.
Okay, so she's a vegetarian or vegan.
You know, that, that, that's all I need to know.
[00:40:23] Speaker B: I mean, that doesn't change things from my perspective, but it is helpful information.
[00:40:27] Speaker C: Yeah.
[00:40:29] Speaker A: So I mean, number one, you know, your boss can't fire you for this.
But I do have all the edits and all the updates, so I'll get straight to the update. Update. I called HR this morning.
I hope they'd be in the meeting, but they weren't. They had talked to my boss though. No one's getting fired. She claims she only said it to motivate me to break my eating disorder. That I was never going to get fired in the first place. I called HR immediately after the meeting. We're looking at getting me transferred to a different unit.
[00:41:02] Speaker B: Excellent. Well done, Opie.
[00:41:04] Speaker A: So, yeah, you Know, I, I understand.
[00:41:07] Speaker B: Weird.
[00:41:08] Speaker A: I understand if you're, you know, out here and you, you have an inversion to meat. You have aversion to people eating, you know, flesh or whatever, you know, that. That's your prerogative. I have no problem with you.
And you, do you?
Yeah. And your boss way overstepped here. Let's see what the comments say on this.
Yes. Mo, are you just, you know, my, my cat's just sitting here just being very cute.
I'm an HR manager. Talk to someone above her at the very least. This is inappropriate. That person needs to be reported.
I agree. If you're fired, you can probably sue for wrongful termination. Depends on your states or country's laws.
Can you talk to someone higher up than her? This is ridiculous.
Yeah, no, stupid. I, I, I don't think you have an eating disorder or anything, you know, weird, you know, you know, like, if you're a vegetarian, vegan, whatever, and you're like, I, I don't like, know the smell of meat or, you know, people eating meat around me, then yeah, you know, you do you and enjoy what you enjoy.
You know, maybe you can have like a, a, you know, a vegan day or a vegetarian day where you, you know, have like a little potluck. That's all, you know, vegan or vegetarian foods, you know, for the lunch, you know, and, you know, introduce all your colleagues to, you know, your lifestyle.
Mochi, hop up.
Hop up in here.
Good girl.
[00:43:02] Speaker B: My plan works.
My plan works.
[00:43:06] Speaker A: Yeah, she hops up in there all the time.
[00:43:07] Speaker B: Oh my God. My plan works now. Brilliant.
[00:43:12] Speaker A: Now this is a ask men advice, but, you know, it has a little bit of women in it too.
By timeshifter76. Ghosted after a second date.
Does it have more to do with me or her?
Had two dates with this girl I matched on dating apps. The first date went very well. We even exchanged numbers. Afterwards, we, we texted each other quite a bit and ended up setting up a second date. The second date also went pretty well.
We flirted, bantered, and it was a pretty good time. Similar to our first date, we also texted for a few days after our second date. But when I tried to set up a third date, she didn't respond. I thought it was a bit odd, so I just left it alone for a few weeks. The holidays were coming.
[00:44:01] Speaker B: Weeks.
[00:44:03] Speaker A: A few weeks since the holidays were coming up and everyone, including me, was busy with travel and vacation.
During this time, I noticed she had matched me on the app. I thought it was odd since the app you know, hides inactive chats, so she had to go out of her way to unmatch. I gave the benefit of the doubt and assumed she was just cleaning her inbox. So I texted her one last time after the holidays were over. She didn't reply at all.
Our dates were both very pleasant. She showed a lot of interest in the beginning. And I think it was a bit harsh to completely ghost me without saying something. Like even a sorry, I don't feel a spark would have left things on a positive note instead of a sour one. I felt disappointed, but mostly healed. Now it's hard to know what I did wrong. If there is no feedback, should I feel ashamed about being discarded like trash? Or does the ghosting say something more about her character? I imagine, you know, what if we ran into each other again? It'd be super awkward. I wonder, should I kept my head held high or feel guilt for not being good enough?
[00:45:17] Speaker B: Dude, this dude is clearly not healed.
[00:45:20] Speaker A: Dude, you did something that, like, you're not telling us the entire fucking story. You're leaving out some fucking huge.
[00:45:29] Speaker B: All the information he's putting out just enough information to make it look like he's in the right.
[00:45:36] Speaker A: Yeah, I mean, you're out here trying to get.
[00:45:38] Speaker C: Honestly, no one's like, I don't think.
I think he could be.
[00:45:43] Speaker A: If.
[00:45:43] Speaker C: If what he says is true, he could be just reading too much into it.
And this girl was. Just went on two dates, decided it wasn't for her, and she's unmatching anyone that she's not truly interested in or she's trying to go study with someone. I mean, like, he's reading too much into it.
[00:46:03] Speaker B: Bare minimum.
[00:46:04] Speaker A: Yes, my guy. Like, here's one thing that happening then. Yeah, here's something that, you know, you don't, you know. No, it's like all the girl, you know, so many girls know each other.
So you might, you know, be, you know, going on a few dates with this chick and you know, she shows your picture to like, one of her other girlfriends. Like, I know that guy.
And you know, she has like, the real dirt on you.
Or she found, you know, someone, you know, better, hotter, richer, you know, whatever. A mixture of all three.
And you know, you're just fucking chopped liver at this point.
So let's see what the comments say.
She was looking for someone and found them. This has nothing to do with you. She wasn't just, you know, she wasn't using the only one fishing rod. Sorry, bro.
Some unsolicited advice here from a married man. And I still feel this way to this day. No matter what happens, it's their loss. If you treat women with respect and are a gentleman, you. It's their loss. It sucks. But, you know, go with someone who'll be on dates with you, sees you as the person they want to be with. Dude.
And on top of it, you're on dating apps, my guy.
You know, it's. You know, that. That's for like, you know, hookups. Maybe she was looking for something a little bit more.
Maybe you're kind of boring, you know?
You know, like, you. You can get boring after you get married.
Like, now I'm married, I can be boring. As. As all.
Doesn't matter.
I love being boring.
But.
And she's found something. Someone else.
First rule of understanding women club. You'll never understand.
[00:48:06] Speaker C: God.
[00:48:07] Speaker A: Yeah, I mean, she. She either got more serious with somebody else or, you know, just.
[00:48:13] Speaker C: Or missing missing reasons.
[00:48:18] Speaker B: Also, a few weeks, and then he decides to reach out to her.
I. I mean, like, I'm very confused by this three week gap of him caring, not caring, and now we're back to caring.
[00:48:32] Speaker A: I mean, like, you know, sometimes women just disappear and it's. Whatever.
[00:48:41] Speaker B: Like that time when I fell asleep in the bathroom and you couldn't find me. And then you finally found me and you're like, I was starting to think aliens had abducted you.
[00:48:51] Speaker A: I mean, like, I. I watched her go, you know, to the room, and I'm like, all right.
And, you know, I'm like, you know, I look in the bathroom, she ain't there.
You know, I look in the room and we have a tiny house. It's not like, you know, it's not like a tiny house, but it's like.
[00:49:08] Speaker B: No, there's five rooms.
[00:49:09] Speaker A: It's a small house. You know, there's perfect size, but there's nowhere to hide.
You know, it's what I'm getting at, you know, like, I can look in my office. No one's in here in the room, no one's in. You know, it's not like she can hide in the closet or something.
No, it's like, you know, just like, oh, yeah, you can sweep the house in like 10 seconds.
And so I'm like, looking all over. I'm like, okay, where the fuck is my wife?
She is, you know, behind the door in the bathtub, you know, not running a shower or anything. Not in a bath.
Just went into the bathroom and, you know, got into, like, the bathtub and just sat there and, like, fell asleep.
[00:49:55] Speaker B: I was so Tired. I went there to wash my feet and then I sat and I leane the back against the wall of the shower and it was like so nice and cool and I was just so tired and like the next thing I knew you were waking me up and like you were breathing so hard.
Like you were breathing so hard and then you're like hurting me to the bedroom. Like you did not let me out of sight.
It was hilarious.
[00:50:27] Speaker C: Oh my gosh.
That's cute.
[00:50:29] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:50:31] Speaker C: Ow.
[00:50:32] Speaker B: Ow.
[00:50:33] Speaker C: Sorry, sorry. Oh, I ended up accidentally grinding my teeth while I was sick. And my freaking jaw hurts. Like my upper jaw, like even my cheek hurts like from here to here.
Like it sucks.
[00:50:51] Speaker B: That does suck.
[00:50:53] Speaker C: Yeah, yeah. And I noticed I freaking clenched my teeth un, like needed all the time and I need to stop that.
[00:51:02] Speaker B: I clench my teeth when I am like trying to do more difficult stuff with my hands and I grind my teeth super bad when I'm holding a knife and cutting.
[00:51:10] Speaker A: Oh my God.
Okay, so yeah, this dude, you know, being blamed for being ghosted by women.
[00:51:22] Speaker B: Wait, he made a second post?
[00:51:24] Speaker A: Yeah, I mean, like, like, wow, this.
[00:51:25] Speaker B: Dude is desperate and insecure.
[00:51:29] Speaker A: How to stop overthinking how the date went?
[00:51:31] Speaker B: Oh my God, I thought he was healed.
[00:51:36] Speaker A: You know, do you like to get, you know, chatty and argue while I walk, you know?
Yeah, this dude in his post history. God damn.

So in that three week period he was out. He was out trying to get other bitches.
[00:52:11] Speaker A: Above 18. Role play. Does the idea of two hot women arguing turn you on?
Yeah, yeah. And he keeps on going on the two arguing women.

[00:56:53] Speaker A: No response after third day. Another one.
You know, experienced daters. How do you, you know it's still date after the end of the first date removed, you know.
All right, next, last one. Relationship advice. You know, hopefully this person is normal. Let me read it.
Yeah. No, no, they're not normal. Throw away. How do I ask my boyfriend, you know, 29 female. How do I ask my 29 female boyfriend, 30 male of two years, for real sex?
Throw away. Because he definitely knows my real Reddit account. So I've been with my boyfriend a little over two years now. For the most part, the relationship is great. However, I feel like I have a bit of a unique problem when it comes to our sex life. This is very too much information and I'm quite embarrassed typing it out and even more embarrassed thinking about how on earth to bring this up to them. Technically, we have a pretty active sex life.
We don't live together yet, but we see each other often and we often do sexual things when we're alone, like hand jobs, blow jobs, he fingers me, etc. And we both orgasm sometimes several times. He definitely cares about my sexual satisfaction. The thing is, we rarely ever have actual sex, like penis and vagina sex with penetration. I think it's something like eight months ago and less than five times total in the course of our two year relationship.
I've heavily hinted that I want penetration a few times before getting into it. I'm on birth control and I use condoms too, just to be on the safe side.
There have been times where I've literally just asked to go get a condom and he says yes. I go and get it and hand it to him, and then he just never puts it on. And we continue what we were doing before.
We've been in positions that are basically sex positions without penetration, missionary, cowgirl, etc. It just doesn't happen. I feel like I'm at that point where if I was to push for it more, it'd be pressuring him into something that he might not feel comfortable with for some reason that I cannot imagine what.
For me and at least several other women, I know there's a difference between, you know, wanting to have an orgasm and wanting to have sex.
So sometimes when we're getting frisky, I don't particularly care if I finish all the way or not. But I'm looking for that particular connection that sex has.
Although of course both is good. Lol. I'm finding it difficult to express that I'm not fully satisfied despite him making me finish.
Tldr. I want to have, you know, penis and vagina sex with my boyfriend, but I'm not, you know, sure how to be more clear without feeling like I'm pressuring him.
[00:59:47] Speaker B: How long have they been together?
[00:59:49] Speaker A: Two years.
[00:59:49] Speaker B: Two years. And they've never talked about this.
[00:59:54] Speaker A: And they're like adults, like. Like real adults.
[00:59:57] Speaker B: So weird that they haven't talked about it.
[01:00:02] Speaker A: Yeah, yeah. I mean, like, literally, it's really strange they haven't just asked him directly.
[01:00:06] Speaker B: Yes.
This is nothing to be ashamed of.
[01:00:10] Speaker A: 90 of the subs posts can be solved with have an adult conversation with him when you're in a neutral setting.
I mean, maybe he might just come quick, you know, he might be embarrassed about it or maybe he might have erectile dysfunction.
[01:00:25] Speaker B: Yeah, and so they can talk about it. So she understands she is operating in the dark.
She has new information.
She wants to know why. At least know why. She's not saying, I'm not dissatisfied with this, but I want this. And I don't understand why you're not comfortable with it. So I'm going to ask you about it so I can learn.
Yeah, I mean, you know, she's operating in the dark. She needs to ask and he needs to answer.
They need to talk.
They're adults.
[01:00:57] Speaker C: Yeah, but it's always, what can of worms is this gonna open?
[01:01:01] Speaker B: But they've been together for two years and if this is a can of open, then if that. If they can't get through this and they're not meant to be and you need to go find other people.
[01:01:11] Speaker A: All right, so, you know, I. I went to the profile to like look up the comments. Holy crap. I did not expect this to blow up so much. Some clarifying things.
Of course I know the answer is just talk to them.
The question is how to gently bring it up. Because sex can be a sensitive subject. I'm trying to find some possible reasons why you might feel this way to know what am I expecting the conversation. Have some solutions for him.
We have great communications and I fully plan on talking to him about this.
I'm just thinking about my wording. Number two, religion is not an issue.
Number three, the condoms we have are both the type that he chooses and has used before with success.
The few times that we've had penis and vagina sex, he stayed hard enough putting it on and was able to finish with no issues. Lastly, I apologize on my poor, poor choice in wording and calling it real sex. I meant no offense. I just wanted to differentiate between non penetrative oral sex and the like.
[01:02:15] Speaker B: Who the fuck is hung up on that?
[01:02:17] Speaker A: I'm sure somebody in the thread. There's always somebody in the thread.
So. Yeah, I mean, yeah, just. Just.
[01:02:37] Speaker B: Feel sad for a piece partner. He's clearly not in a comfortable place.
[01:02:42] Speaker A: Yeah, I mean, like, that. That's just what it is.
I mean, just.
[01:02:47] Speaker B: They just need to talk about it.
[01:02:49] Speaker A: You kind of have to, you know, be blunt, you know, I mean, I.
[01:02:52] Speaker B: Would be blunt in her shoes. Like, I would not beat around the bush.
[01:02:58] Speaker A: You know, or just, you know, say it, you know, just like, put that dick in my.
Put it right here.
And it's like, oh, okay.
You know.
You know, he might have, like, you know, weird, you know, issues or might. Might think, you know, oh, I'm gonna come too quick. I definitely come too quick. I come quick, like, 911 in, you know, white neighborhoods.
[01:03:24] Speaker B: I don't care.
[01:03:26] Speaker A: I know you don't care.
[01:03:27] Speaker B: Well, yeah, no, you make sure.
[01:03:30] Speaker A: Yeah, I mean, like, like that. That's the thing is I'm like, okay, the job's done. I can off for the rest.
All right. Boom.
It's like when you, you know, move somebody out, out of, like, their house, and they're like, I don't want any of this stuff.
You know, like when you, like, move, it's like, I don't want this desk anymore. Destroy the desk, and you hit the desk with like, a bunch of hammers and just make a mess everywhere. And it's like, I've done the job that, you know, I was paid to do, you know, Now I can make a huge mess and do it quickly. Yeah, I don't have to be gentle anymore.
Like, when I was younger, like, I forget this dude's name, but, like, he, like, I would get, like, calls every once in a while for, like, a job, and I, like, I go meet him, meet with him, and it'd be like, you know, cleaning out a house.
And, like, we take like, the stuff that, you know, is to be saved and like, everything else we can like destroy. So it'd be like, you know, taking like, desks out to like, the park. Like the. Not the parking lot, but like the driveway, and just destroy them with hammers and throw them into like a garbage truck. And like, yeah, my favorite fucking part.
Like, I don't even think I got paid for the jobs. I think I just got to destroy.
I was super happy to get like, destroy shit. I'm like, hell yeah.
But yeah, I mean, if you're looking at, you know, you know, calming words, you know, like, bring it up like after, you know, he comes and be like, hey, why don't you want to have, like, you know, real sex with me?
You know that that's when he's the most vulnerable.
[01:05:21] Speaker B: Say R, but with a W.
R.
[01:05:24] Speaker A: But with a W?
[01:05:25] Speaker B: Yeah, for the real sex.
[01:05:29] Speaker A: What?
[01:05:29] Speaker B: You know, when you make a W noise instead of an R noise to make it sound younger.
[01:05:36] Speaker A: Wheel sex.
[01:05:37] Speaker B: Yeah, that.
[01:05:42] Speaker A: Like the guy that his car is like, I have wheel sex.
I have tailpipe sex and wheel sex.
I fucked my car. My car is my love. My car is pregnant with little babies.
[01:05:55] Speaker B: I once came across instructions on how to fuck your car, and one of them was you is. So one was obviously you just like, dig a hole through the seat. But the other one was you put like tubing of the exhaust pipe and like patted it and then like fucked it with your condom on.
And every now and again, that image, because there's pictures with it, the imagery is just like, yeah.
[01:06:26] Speaker A: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
The guy who had sex with his car.
[01:06:30] Speaker B: No, I saw a cartoon version of it.
[01:06:31] Speaker A: My strange addiction is back. And he has a new lover. Oh, he's given up his, you know, 1998 Chevy, you know, Monte Carlo for.
[01:06:41] Speaker B: His Lexus, his Camilla.
Oh, no, Carmilla.
[01:06:50] Speaker A: I mean, like, yeah, that. That's sad. But that, that's gonna be it for this week. Jesus Christ. This has been a weird fucking week of, you know, weird people, weird dudes.
I find it hilarious if this is like the same dude from like the Time Shifter. Like, she's dating time shifter 76. She's dating this dude. It's like, I don't want to you because you're not arguing with other girls like that. That will get me so hard. Like, I want to her cuz she's arguing with another girl, you know.
Yeah, heated debate where you get riled up. Yeah, just watch any, you know, go on X.
[01:07:37] Speaker B: Isn't that what soap operas are for?
[01:07:39] Speaker A: No, dude, like. Like if you want to watch people, you know, argue and get heated. Like, just go on Twitter and you'll find people screaming at each other. It's hilarious.
But that's it. You know, we'll. We'll see you all next week. Bye.
[01:07:57] Speaker B: Bye.
