Diaphragm or Condom

[00:00:00] Speaker A: At least I think so. [00:00:01] Speaker B: All right, all right, everybody. Welcome back to another episode of the Human Podcast. Courtney thinks she's ready. Hopefully she is. Yeah, it's like always that, like, you know, yeah, I'm ready. It's like, nope, you know, totally wasn't right. That's usually how, like, all adulthood goes, you know, Like, I'm ready to be an adult. And then, like, the first fucking thing happens. It's like, ah, you have to pay your taxes now. Oh, fucking. You have to deal with, you know, adult shit. And it's like, oh, I don't like this at all. I thought it was just gonna be ice cream and video games non stop until I die, you know, this all sucks. Like, as a kid, you know, I remember, you know, sitting in bed, you know, fantasizing about being adult because I could eat ice cream anytime I wanted. And now I rarely eat ice cream. I'm not like, I don't get, like, diarrhea or anything. I'm just like, nah, you know, I'll save it for like a time that I really want. Like, did anybody else ever have, like, this? Or am like, I the only one? [00:01:11] Speaker C: I never dreamed of growing up. [00:01:13] Speaker A: But as always, like, what you're talking about, like, dreaming or like, no, like, [00:01:19] Speaker B: like, like fantasizing, like, thinking about the future and be like, you know, oh, man, the future is gonna be so awesome because I'm gonna be able to have ice cream. [00:01:29] Speaker C: Oh, I completely misunderstood what you were talking about. [00:01:32] Speaker B: It's all right. You know, most women do, but I am your host, Alex the Truck. This is the Human podcast. That is my wife, not the Truck, and that is Courtney. But yeah, I mean, like, I, I, I, like, like this is all I wanted for adulthood. This is what I imagined it would be, is I would grow up, I would have a job that I'd go to for a few hours. It'd be an easy job and it'd be kind of cool. And then I'd come home and play video games and eat ice cream and just do whatever the hell I wanted for the rest of the week, and it's nothing like that. [00:02:13] Speaker C: That sounds amazing, though. [00:02:15] Speaker B: Yeah, no, it does. You know, but then, like, I look at the reality of it and I'm like, oh, that's, that's why my parents didn't, you know, let me do that. You know, thank you for not letting me do that. You know, obviously you see these kids nowadays that are just little entitled. I'm like, ah, God damn it. I'm glad I don't have kids. Like Courtney, do you ever want kids Sometimes? [00:02:48] Speaker C: Courtney, as someone who hates kids, Courtney, if you ever have a kid, I'm going to adore and love the out of it. [00:02:55] Speaker A: It's okay. I know you've told me before, because it'll be my kid. [00:03:00] Speaker C: Yeah, it'll be my bestie's kid. [00:03:03] Speaker B: I mean, like, I like Ben's kids, you know. [00:03:08] Speaker A: Exactly. [00:03:08] Speaker B: Yeah, he has some cool kids, you know, and it's because, you know, I. I'm friends with, you know, both parents. I'm friends with, you know, Ben's wife as well. And so it's like I, I, I can, you know, say some, you know, up around the kids, and I know that she's not going to get offended. You know, there's like, some people that are like, you. You can't say fart around my kid. That's a bad word in my house. And it's like, God, Jesus Christ, you know, you. You took the Lord's name in vain. Oh, my gosh. Ear muffs, child. Ear muffs. [00:03:46] Speaker C: Oh, my. [00:03:47] Speaker B: Yeah, there are parents like that. Like, I, you know, I had a buddy, you know, and they would never say fart. They said toot instead of saying fart, I'm like, all right. Yeah, like, you're the parent. Like, you, you get to, you know, decide, you know, what you want for your kids, you know, what's best. And, you know, the kids all grew up really well, so, you know, maybe there's something to it. Like, like all, like the very, you know, Christian, you know, raised households. Like, the kids all grew up good and successful, you know, not on drugs, you know, better than me. Let's just say that, you know, not to say that I'm like a, you know, total failure, but, you know, [00:04:44] Speaker C: I don't know. I could have had nicer parents. [00:04:46] Speaker B: Yeah, of course. But, you know, like, I. I had good enough parents. Like, like my mom, you know, she's a good lady. You know, she had me too early, I think, and, you know, like, if I had a kid at 18, oh, fuck, my life would be over. Oh, man, that would suck. That would ruin everything. Like, I. I think about that all the time. I'm like, if I had a kid at 18, you know, my, my kid. How old my kid be? I'm 33. [00:05:26] Speaker A: You'd be near the. You quite honestly be near the end. You'd probably only have a few more years. They're a teenager now. [00:05:36] Speaker B: I mean, to be 36 at 18. So, yeah, I. The kid would be, you know, almost 18, talking mad, but definitely ruined my life. You know, I want to be able to go out to the oil fields. I want to be able to just, you know, move around the country, you know, like. Like, I. I talk to my best friend all the time, and, you know, like, we. We talk about, like, real like that. It's like, yeah. Having kids, you know, means that you can't really take a risk. You can't. You know, everything you do has to be a calculated decision to, you know, move one step further. You can't just, you know, be like, hey, I'm gonna, you know, move out to North Dakota and go work in the oil fields, and hopefully it works out. I don't have a job, you know, and then you just move, you know, Like, I, I. I can, you know, technically move. I own a house, so it's like, not really. [00:06:44] Speaker C: Do we own it, though. We're still paying the mortgage. Doesn't mean the bank owns it. [00:06:49] Speaker B: Technically. Technically, yes, the bank owns it, but we own it. We can do whatever the hell we want to this house. We have no landlord that's gonna, you know, come and inspect and be like, who told you you can have three cats in the house? You know, that doesn't happen. You know, we. [00:07:09] Speaker A: We. [00:07:09] Speaker B: You know, this is. At the very end, this is our house, you know, so, like, if I was to make, like, some, you know, crazy decision, you know, and, like, go work on, like, a oil rig, you know, out in the ocean, you know, I feel like I can do that, but I just, like, have to, like, live on the oil rig for a bit and then make a bunch of money and come pay off this house. And then once this house is paid off, then I can, you know, go make more, you know, decisions like that. Yeah, but my wife needs me here. I feel like you need me here. [00:07:48] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:07:48] Speaker B: Okay. My wife needs me here. So I can't just, like, go out and, you know, spend four months on an oil rig. [00:07:56] Speaker C: I wouldn't do well by myself. [00:07:58] Speaker B: I think you'd be fine. [00:07:59] Speaker C: No, I would need help. [00:08:00] Speaker B: With what? [00:08:01] Speaker C: I don't even know half the bills you even pay for the house. [00:08:04] Speaker B: Yeah, I pay them. Like, it would just come out of my, you know, paycheck. I would, like, go out, work four months, make 120, have to take the [00:08:14] Speaker C: trash out every month. [00:08:15] Speaker B: Huh? Yeah, I don't want to do that every week. Yep. [00:08:17] Speaker C: No, I don't want to fucking do that. [00:08:19] Speaker A: Why don't you just pay someone to do it? If he was making way more money, then you Just pay someone to do it. [00:08:34] Speaker B: Just have like, you know, get like a boyfriend for like the moment and then just like, ew. [00:08:38] Speaker A: No. [00:08:41] Speaker B: It's like, hey, come on over and do things for me. There. There are dudes that are into that [00:08:48] Speaker C: much effort. [00:08:51] Speaker B: I mean, guys. Guys don't really have any. You know, the guys are simple. Like, like every man that you'll ever meet. We are very simple creatures. You know, like in school, you give me like a ballpoint pen. That's a little clicky thing, you know, I take that thing apart and you know, turn into like a little gun. And, you know, it'd be great like that. That's how simple men are. Like, like, we're like cats with a box. You know, you don't have to give us like the whole toy. Just give us a box and. And we're happy. We're, you know, that's all it takes, you know, for any. Any dude. You know, women, you know, it's like, get that box the fuck out of here. I want the toy. [00:09:43] Speaker C: Depends on the box. There's some really nice boxes out there. Because for the longest time you had a box, it was in the shape of a hexagon. I never knew where it went. [00:09:57] Speaker B: Oh, yeah, that's somewhere. It hold. Held a cpu. It hold. Held a. I think an i9 or an i7 cpu for intel. Yeah. Let me see. Actually, i9 intel cpu box. Probably i7 then i7 intel cpu box. Oh, no. Yeah, like. Yep, there it is. The i9. 9900K. Yep. Those boxes were the dopest thing in the world. [00:10:46] Speaker C: Yeah, no, it was cool. [00:10:49] Speaker B: I'm sure I still have it somewhere. [00:10:51] Speaker C: Of course you do. You never throw stuff away. [00:10:54] Speaker B: Damn. It's wildly expensive now. Holy. I would never pay that much money for that. All that. Hell no. [00:11:04] Speaker A: Wow. [00:11:06] Speaker B: Like. Like, it makes me feel good when I, like, look up a previous purchase and I got it on a supreme sale. RAM for sale. Yeah. By ram. Holy. Oh, my God. Holy. God. Damn. That is expensive. Yeah, the RAM I have in this computer is like 500 now. Jesus Christ. Like, I. I heard that RAM was expensive, and now it is, you know, proven. Yep. I'll. I'll never. It'll be a while since I. Till I upgrade this computer again. I mean, currently I'm buying all my gun because Colorado wants to get rid of all our guns. So now I have to like, go through and buy barrels because here at the end of July, barrels are gone and then August rifles are all gone. Yeah. But let's get into some stories we have. Like, I. I had to go look up good news stories, you know, somewhat good news stories. Stories that did not have political overtones. So the first one. Sex workers at a Nevada brothel fight for their first union. Unionization. [00:12:53] Speaker C: Ah, yes. Props. This is where unions need to come in. [00:13:00] Speaker B: I mean, like, no, this is perfect. I. I thought, like, the women in, you know, the brothels, like, kind of like, ran their own shed. Like, do they have, like, an employer? [00:13:14] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:13:16] Speaker B: Then that makes them a pimp. [00:13:19] Speaker A: You. [00:13:19] Speaker B: You can't. [00:13:20] Speaker C: What do you think a pimp is? What is. That's. How is that different? [00:13:26] Speaker B: An employer of, you know, sex workers? [00:13:30] Speaker C: Yeah, this is a manager and all that kind of stuff. People who do, like, the business stuff in the background, like, it's. It's legitimate trade as far as I am concerned. [00:13:37] Speaker B: I feel like you should be like, a 1099 employee. You get a room and, you know, you get all the money and then you pay for the room. Kind of like how strip clubs work. You know, you pay for, like, stage time. I think that's how strip clubs work. [00:13:55] Speaker C: No, there's no crying in the champagne room. [00:13:58] Speaker B: No crying in the champagne room. I love that. [00:14:03] Speaker C: Is that not right? [00:14:04] Speaker B: That's not right. There's no crying in the champagne room. It makes it so much better because I know the actual saying. Oh, my God. The saying is, there's no sex in the champagne room. [00:14:29] Speaker C: I don't know where I got crying. [00:14:31] Speaker B: It makes it so much better. Like, they need to put up a sign. No crying in the champagne room. Oh, like, you get in the champagne room. You pay like, a thousand dollars to be like, we're in the champagne room. Hell, yeah. And they're like, there's no sex in the champagne room. And they're like, what? We paid a thousand. And then they point to the sign, no crying in the champagne room. We ain't getting bodily fluids anywhere. Don't care if it's your tear stains. It ain't going on nothing. Ah, but yes. Nevada is the only state where people can legally purchase sex. And now sex workers is one of the state's oldest brothels are fighting become the nation's first to be unionized. Well, I. I hate to say this in Nevada, but Colorado is actually looking at a law to legalize all prostitution across the board. Even, like, street prostitution, all of that. Like, so, yeah, we're working on that, you know, taking away the guns and legalizing prostitution. Prostitutes will get killed. Yeah, unfortunately. But we want the same thing any other workers want. We Want a safe and respectful workplace? Well, don't, you know, like, vet your men before you, like, let them in? Like, have them do, like, a whole questionnaire. Prostitution is legal with the licensed brothels at 10 of Nevada's rural counties. That doesn't include Clark county, home to Las Vegas, although Sherry's Ranch is about an hour drive away. The majority of the brothels, 74 sex workers, submitted a petition to unionize with the nation's Labor Retention Board last week under the United Brothel Workers. Yeah, unfortunately, I think prostitution is still federally illegal, so you're going to have a really hard time, you know, getting, you know, any real movement on that. [00:16:46] Speaker C: But you are important. [00:16:51] Speaker B: Well, I mean, it's going to be just an extra pimp on top of your pimp, you know, you have to pay union dues. [00:16:56] Speaker C: Well, yeah, but if it's getting you better quality of life at work, [00:17:01] Speaker B: like, [00:17:02] Speaker C: you know, what working standards is what I meant to say, like, what better [00:17:05] Speaker B: quality do you want? [00:17:06] Speaker C: I don't know. [00:17:08] Speaker B: Like, I feel like. [00:17:09] Speaker C: All I know is that sex is really fucking gross. [00:17:12] Speaker B: I feel like if I walked into a brothel and, like, all the women came out and they looked at me and they're like, no, like, I wouldn't be offended. I'd be like, good for you. Like, you know, unless, like, you know, women have to take in any dude that comes in. Like a homeless guy, you know, comes in with a thousand bucks. Suck my dick. Like, yeah, fucking deny that guy. You know, it's like, you know, make the, you know, men fucking, you know, wash up. That's how the old brothels used to do it. You know, you used to, you know, go in and, you know, get a bath before you had sex. And I guess it worked. You know, brothel is back in the old west, you know, were the thing that, you know, built the Old west, you know, prostitution is what, you know, really, you know, got everything off the road or, you know, off the ground. [00:18:15] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:18:16] Speaker B: So, yeah, I mean, I. I feel like you could just, like, quit your job, you know, if you're like, I don't, you know, like this. Oh, okay. So I'm, like, reading through it. Jetson said the drive was spurred by a new independent contractor agreement issued in December that would give the brothel power to use the women's likeness without permission, even if they no longer work there. [00:18:52] Speaker C: Ew. [00:18:56] Speaker B: Yeah. This is how you find yourself on the face of a Japanese lubricant company without ever having signed a document. [00:19:01] Speaker C: Yep. They have a right to privacy, if anything. They have. They have A stronger need for privacy than a lot of other businesses. [00:19:18] Speaker B: But all, all someone has to do is, you know, find someone that kind of looks like them. In fact, it's actually based on this lady over here that did sign and yeah, you know that, like, a lot of women look like each other. I'm not signing up. Ap. I am sorry. But yeah, no, no one ever plans to stay there forever. Another worker who goes by the stage name Molly Wilder, said the terms would make it harder for courtesans to leave the industry and pursue opportunities. For Wilder, sex work is a temporary job. To help pay her student loans. Like Jetson, she asked that her legal name not be used. [00:20:11] Speaker C: Okay, yeah, no, they are more than entitled to privacy. [00:20:20] Speaker B: So hope, you know, hopefully something, you know, goes up. I don't know if they have like a madam of the house. I feel like that, that's like, I don't think men should be in charge of that, you know, of like, the schedules and all that. Like, men should be in charge of, like, security for sure, but, you know, just have like a madam of the house, you know, like a strong, independent woman that just like. Yep, you know, I, I, you know, vet all the men and do all that. Yeah. With many of the women making their own content, online content, they want their intellectual property protected. Negotiate over their dress code, fair wage contract. Jesus Christ. They'd also like to negotiate for health insurance. I thought. What? [00:21:14] Speaker C: What? [00:21:15] Speaker B: They're not provided with the health insurance. [00:21:17] Speaker C: They. What? Wait, what? Okay, surely they at least get like screenings for free and stuff, right? [00:21:26] Speaker B: Probably, but that doesn't cost that much. [00:21:29] Speaker C: No, but, like, why are they not giving health insurance? Yeah. [00:21:32] Speaker B: Give health insurance to these ladies, [00:21:36] Speaker C: they [00:21:36] Speaker B: take like a foot of dick a year. It's crazy. But yeah, I mean, you know, good for them. Hopefully, you know, you know, gets better for them. [00:21:53] Speaker C: For reals. [00:21:54] Speaker B: Unfortunately, what happens a lot of the time when people try and unionize is they just shut down the business. Just like, okay, cool, the business is closed. You're all fired. You know that. That's what happens with Walmart. That's why Walmart hasn't unionized is there's like, oh, well, you're trying to unionize here. Guess what? Everyone here just lost their job and now everyone's pissed off at the union for fucking costing everyone their goddamn job. [00:22:21] Speaker C: It is not the union's fault. [00:22:23] Speaker B: I mean, kinda. [00:22:24] Speaker C: No, it's not. [00:22:26] Speaker B: I mean, unions have a fucking, you know, good. There's good and bad, you know, Like, I, I see both sides of unions, like teamsters is good, you know, for like the trucking union. But like back in the day, like, there's people that worked for teamsters that would go and like slash tires of like non union truckers and you know them up. So it's like, hey, you can't operate in this area unless you're with a union. Like, I'm just making a delivery. It's like, no, you ain't. And they just slash the tire. So. But neck next, you know, good story. Wife used Find my iPhone to locate husband who is buried for over four hours after an avalanche. [00:23:17] Speaker C: It's a husband. Wow. Probably. [00:23:27] Speaker B: Wife used. I mean, hopefully. God damn, that would be so devastating if I like, pick this, like, good news story and it's like, oh, no, he was dead. A wife used a special feature on her cell phone. Yeah, it's not a special feature. It's every. Every phone has this feature. [00:23:45] Speaker C: But it's an iPhone. [00:23:47] Speaker B: Yeah, I have find my phone on my phone too. [00:23:49] Speaker C: I know, but it's an iPhone. And then story. [00:23:52] Speaker B: Yes, it is an iPhone in the [00:23:54] Speaker C: story, like, oh, my God. [00:23:58] Speaker B: Michael Harris was skiing at Steven ski Resort, Thursday, February 26, when he got caught in the avalanche. The skier said that he quickly knew who he is in trouble. Okay, so he's alive. He recalled telling God. I don't know if anyone is going to know where I'm at, but I can't get out of this on my own. Eventually, Michael said, his wife Penny started to call him, although he was unable to pick up. When Michael failed to answer his phone, Penny decided to try and track her husband's location using Find my iPhone app. You get a feeling something's not just right. Penny told the outlet. I followed my intuition, saw his location and checked it a couple times and saw it wasn't moving. [00:24:41] Speaker C: Always go with your gut. [00:24:43] Speaker B: That's when Penny rushed to the resort and contacted rescuers. According to the news, she used find my iPhone to help rescuers track down her husband. She's the best, Michael said of his wife. She's my lifesaver, you know. Michael was missing for more than four hours. He had hypothermia as well as a lung full of fluid and a broken leg when he was found. Yeah, avalanches will you up, you know, snow weighs a lot. Lauren Harris, Michael's daughter, said in a statement that the gofundme that her dad was hospitalized after the incident will likely take 14 to 16 weeks to recover if everything goes well. Now, I. I gotta say this, you know, don't go up skiing you know, like, you don't need to go sledding on a fucking, you know, predetermined hill. You're fine. You know, all these people that like going up skiing, you know, [00:25:42] Speaker A: they should just have a spotter or something. [00:25:46] Speaker B: I mean, they. They should. They. They set off dynamite at the top of these hills. Every once in a while, they, like, you know, trigger avalanches just to get it over with. Yeah, and then the dude got $29,000 on GoFundMe. Oh, no. The dad is the sole provider for the family. Holy. [00:26:13] Speaker A: Did he die? [00:26:14] Speaker B: No, no, he. He's alive. He's just in the hospital. And, you know, he. He's the only one making money. And so, like, $29,000 got sent to the GoFundMe. They didn't even link the GoFundMe in the article, which is crazy. But up to the next story. A wireless red retinal implant helps blind patients see again. From the University of Pittsburgh. A tire tiny wireless implant is giving new hope to people blinded by advanced age related macular degeneration. Holy. I got through all that. In a major international clinical trial, more than 80% of patients regained meaningful central vision, and many were able to read letters or even words again after. Oh, wow. That's pretty good, actually. After years of decline. The device replaces damaged l light sensing cells in the retina with a 2x2 millimeter a implant that converts light into electrical signals, restoring communication between the eye and the brain. [00:27:27] Speaker C: I love science. I love science in the medical field. [00:27:31] Speaker B: Now you gotta hope that, you know the fucking. Your body doesn't notice that your white blood cells don't notice that because your body will attack your eyeballs. It's fucked up. Like, your body doesn't know your eyeballs are there. [00:27:48] Speaker C: Well, they have to be detected as an. As a type of cell for it to attack the eye. [00:27:54] Speaker B: Yeah, but happens all the time. So. Yeah, I mean, like, like this. Among the 32P participants who compl completed one year of followup, 81% experienced meaningful improvements. In addition, 27 participants said that they were using the artificial vision provided by the device at home. To read numbers or words. Yeah. [00:28:28] Speaker A: So how does it work? [00:28:31] Speaker B: So, you know, like, there's cells that you're in your eye that. [00:28:35] Speaker C: No, it's wireless. Why is. Why did they say wireless? [00:28:39] Speaker B: Receive. Wireless. [00:28:41] Speaker C: Go back up to the. Yeah, wireless. Why is it wireless? What does that mean? [00:28:48] Speaker B: It means there's no wires. [00:28:50] Speaker C: But does that mean there's a need for electricity for it to work? Like, why would. Why does It. Why is it wireless? Why would it need wires? [00:28:58] Speaker B: Why wouldn't it need wires? [00:29:00] Speaker C: No, if it's. Why is it wireless? Like, does it need electricity to do something? [00:29:07] Speaker B: Oh, yeah, everything needs electricity to do something. But I'm sure it uses your body's electrical. [00:29:12] Speaker C: You know, it doesn't say. [00:29:16] Speaker B: I, like, I, I don't have the, you know, the full, you know, research. Let me see if I can get the full research. You know, that. Except. Sure, Yeah, I don't have the full. Yeah, just the excerpt of the New England Journey, Journal of Medicine. But yeah, I, like, I don't know how sciency works, but there's, you know, like rods and cones and science words that I'm not sure of, you know, in your eye, and I'm sure that they just replace it with, you know, low voltage that can use the electricity in your eye to power it. [00:30:09] Speaker C: But I want to know how it works. [00:30:11] Speaker B: Well, I'll find the whole article and you can, you know, geek out on it. Yeah, I'm sure it's going to cost a bunch of money, too. Yeah, the, the efficiency. Like, I'm over here. The efficacy. [00:30:27] Speaker C: Efficiency. [00:30:29] Speaker B: That's not efficiency. [00:30:30] Speaker C: Efficacy, sorry. [00:30:31] Speaker B: Efficacy and safety of that crazy word. Like, it. I. They just chose different letters and just like, that's a word. [00:30:45] Speaker C: It's probably named after somebody. [00:30:47] Speaker B: It's definitely not named after somebody. Like if, If. Okay, now I need to search Google for this. You know, Let's see pronunciation. There we go. [00:31:05] Speaker C: Is it just a. It's a generic drug name. All right, what's its brand name? [00:31:17] Speaker B: I don't know. Oh, Binyamin. I, I, like, he said it and I can't even. What kind of drug is this targeted cancer drug called? The monoclonal anti. Holy. I, I can't be a scientist. [00:31:37] Speaker C: Okay, that's why it sounds like that. Cancer drugs have the weirdest names nowadays. Like, they have the weirdest names. And I don't know why, but cancer drugs are like, it's literally a spelling bee of their own kind. Yeah, I mean, like, naming of drugs is weird. [00:31:54] Speaker B: Like, it's just in, like, different, you know, languages altogether, but, you know, cool, you know. You know, vision is returning to people. You know, that. That's neat. I don't think they're going to be able to do anything for people that are, like, blind from birth, but you never know, you know, shit's, you know, increasing and Courtney's gonna really love this one. I, I picked this one for Courtney specifically. 25, minimum wage to end tip credit. That would put policy in Maryland constitution. So anyone that works, you know, as like a server, like for tips where you get paid like $3 an hour or whatever that is, they would just get rid of that in Maryland. Like they have a bill right now and just, you know, increase that to $25 an hour. So if you're working at a restaurant, you're getting paid $25 an hour plus tips. And no matter what, you're always making $25 an hour. Now, this will increase the price of everything at every restaurant. [00:33:11] Speaker C: Well, okay, if I'm going to a restaurant and I know employees, employees there are making full time, like, they're not dependent on me tipping for them to be able to afford stuff. Like, if I know they're getting paired, paid a fair wage, I'm not going to tip. [00:33:26] Speaker B: Yeah, no, like. Like if you're making 20, if you're making 25 an hour, I'm not tipping you for. [00:33:31] Speaker C: Well, no, but if they're going to make that a rule, then that needs to be taken into consideration as well. Because you are right. Just ways just raising minimum wage does not fix inflation. Like, inflation needs to be tackled from all different types at the same time for it to be helped. [00:33:48] Speaker B: I mean, here's the thing. You know, I went to Europe and Europe does not tip. There's no tipping over there. It's a foreign concept to them, but they're, you know, they all get paid a living wage to, you know, bring you your drinks and bring you your food. But they do it in such a great way that I tipped anyway. And the food was not like, crazy expensive either. It wasn't like, holy, I can't afford that. You know, it was a tiny bit more expensive. But, you know, the profit margins on food is insane, you know, so it's like, I feel like restaurant owners, you know, could, you know, take this on, you know, but if you have a slow day, you. You guarantee that, you know, some people are gonna get sent the home. Go home, go home, go home. [00:34:45] Speaker C: You know, I mean, that's how it is in my field. I don't know how it works in restaurants, but if the day slow. If you don't want to. If you don't want to find something to clean or organize, you can go home. [00:34:57] Speaker B: Yep. [00:34:58] Speaker C: Which I'm like. And there are days where I'm like, I would prefer to go home than to clean. [00:35:05] Speaker A: Yeah. But then, like, sometimes the reason why they pay you so is because no one's actually there. Well, I mean, like, plus, like, there's Only so much cleaning you can do sometimes. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I used to work at, like, a small tourist shop, and, like, there's really only so much cleaning you can do. Especially like, when the person before you cleaned the whole store. [00:35:35] Speaker B: Yeah, I mean, that. That's always how it went. It's like, you know, you're gonna stand up and. [00:35:43] Speaker C: I'm aware. [00:35:45] Speaker B: Bottle opener. [00:35:48] Speaker C: Still can't believe Christy stole mine. [00:35:50] Speaker A: Or Cassandra stole it and, like. [00:35:54] Speaker B: Stole your what? [00:35:55] Speaker C: She stole my bottle opener. [00:35:58] Speaker B: Stole your bottle opener. So, I mean, like, like, this. This is going to be some, you know, really cool. I mean, I. I am down for, you know, paying, you know, everyone that works at a restaurant a living wage. You just lose tips. [00:36:19] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:36:20] Speaker B: You know, across America, you know, everyone that, you know, works, you know, delivering food, you know, you. You get paid, you know, the minimum wage or more. [00:36:31] Speaker C: Okay. I would still tip a delivery driver. [00:36:35] Speaker B: What if they're making, you know, quite [00:36:37] Speaker A: honestly, like, delivery drivers could probably be constant compensated more. Yeah, they get paid gas, like, sometimes, like. Like they're shady places that, like, don't really take in the cars, wear tear. Because sometimes people are driving their own vehicle and stuff. [00:36:57] Speaker B: Most of the time they are. Yeah. [00:36:59] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:37:00] Speaker B: And, you know, here. Here's how that works is like, you know, say. Say, I hope I order a pizza from Domino's. Okay. Like, I've done that, you know, recently, because my work makes me, you know, order food from the company card. And so, like, I order a pizza and it cost me $6 just to have them deliver that pizza. That does not include tip. And that can be like a mile away. And it's like a half mile away from, you know, I can easily walk down there, but it's snowing, and I'm not walking in the snow for a pizza. [00:37:41] Speaker C: So you're paying more for convenience because, like, so. [00:37:46] Speaker B: No, my company is paying more for convenience. I. I don't, you know, order that. It's like. But I have to spend $25 a night. And so I'm like, yeah, I'll just order a pizza. And I'm like, okay, I'll just, you know, get to the 25 with the tip. Boom. There you go. But it's like, they get paid pretty good. You know, they'll get that, you know, seven dollars, that six. Seven bucks plus that tip. So it's like you got paid $10 to, you know, drive for, you know, five minutes, and if you're continuously busy, you can take out, you know, like, three pizzas and you're getting paid 30 bucks, you know, to go drive 15 minutes. Yeah, like, like if you have a busy pizza night, you know, you're making bank, you're making a lot of money being a delivery driver as a delete. As a previous, you know, food delivery driver, Yes, I can say that they make enough money or you just quit that job and go work somewhere else. But yeah, you, you, they, you know, Maryland's current minimum wage is $15 an hour. And damn, they are ramping up that minimum wage quick. $25. So another $10 by 20, 30. So in four years. [00:39:31] Speaker A: Wow. [00:39:32] Speaker B: I guarantee you that, you know, people are going to start getting fired and you know, what they need to do is lower the rent, lower, you know, the, the rent for where you live. Boom. Guess what? Everything, you know, evens out. So we'll, we'll see how this goes. I'm sure it'll be killed because anything good gets killed like that. [00:40:02] Speaker A: And [00:40:04] Speaker B: Omar so, And then, next story. This noble Nobel laureate invents a machine that harvests water from dry air. Omar Yagi's invention uses air ambient thermal energy that can generate up to 1000L of clean water every day. Now, everything that I know about science, which is not a lot, but enough, tells me that there's no way that this actually works. But a Nobel laureate, how would this work? [00:40:46] Speaker C: Okay, my understanding of chemistry is only slightly better than yours, I'm assuming because you need the two ingredients to make water, and those ingredients are in the air, but they're not combined at the moment to become water. So whatever that machine is doing, it's taking those atoms and it's putting it together and then now they have become water. [00:41:12] Speaker B: I'm assuming that he uses something, I know it's wrong that, you know, condensates water from the air. But like compare, you know, the machine is like a 20 foot shipping container powered entirely by ultra low grade thermal energy which could be played placed in local communities that could generate up to 1,000 liters. Like, I love that, that term up to, you know, you know, on premium, you know, days where everything is great, it's like, but honestly, this machine will probably create like 2 liters of water a day. [00:42:00] Speaker C: Does it say how it works? I want to know if I was anywhere near right. [00:42:04] Speaker B: I'm sure he doesn't say how it works. I'm sure he, you know, came up with some, you know, dumb bullshit. Anything like this, you know, that's like, it seems kind of cool. It dies, you know, anything like that's like, oh yeah, this could you Know, be used to, you know, save the world. Like a water powered engine. Boom. Dead. You know, the inventor. Dead. Yep. No, it doesn't say how it works. [00:42:35] Speaker C: Okay, what is it? Because I need to know answer. I'm still stuck on wireless, but now I need to know answers for this too. [00:42:43] Speaker B: Just look up Omar Yagis. O M A R Y A G [00:42:49] Speaker C: H for the machine. [00:42:51] Speaker B: No, that's his name, that's inventor. [00:42:53] Speaker C: What's the name of the invention? [00:42:58] Speaker B: They don't say the name of the invention. He's a chemist too, so I, I don't. You know. For developing metal organic frameworks, He created porous sponge like materials used for capturing carbon dioxide, storing hydrogen and harvesting water from desert air. [00:43:30] Speaker C: Oh, I was, I don't think I was wrong. [00:43:34] Speaker B: So he's essentially using a sponge to fucking, you know, grab water out the air? [00:43:39] Speaker C: No, but he's collecting ingredients and then he's using a catalyst to make water neat. [00:43:46] Speaker B: So hopefully that works. [00:43:47] Speaker C: I can't believe I was actually sort of right. I'm so proud of myself, you know, [00:43:54] Speaker B: But I, I feel like it'll like, you know, never, you know, get off the ground. [00:43:58] Speaker C: I don't know how I passed chemistry in college. I struggled so hard and then biology was worse. But then we got into microbiology and everything was medicine and all and it just like magically made sense overnight. [00:44:11] Speaker B: All right now, now we're on the relationship advice by no calligrapher 6470 and this one is brutal. How do I, 25, female, communicate to a partner, 26 male, that he needs a smaller condom? [00:44:28] Speaker C: Oh no. [00:44:30] Speaker B: I've been seeing this guy for a few months. Things are pretty good. I really enjoy our sex. We have similar libidos, usually good communication and he is very giving. The only problem is that we use condoms and they don't stay on well. He will complain about condoms and how they all suck. He'll still wear one anyway because about 2/3 into the action they are slipping and sliding around or coming off inside me. This makes me nervous. We have tried a couple different brands. Frankly, I have used condoms with other partners and not had the same problem. I think the average ones are slightly too big big for him. My first idea is to buy a brand that fits a little snugger and just mention I got a new brand to try without the size part. I like how. I know straightforward communication is usually better, but in my experience this is an area where men are kind of sensitive and I don't want to do any damage to his self esteem. Through my suggestion, I would do the first option. So any recommendations of brands to try or. Or ways to approach this delicately? Thank you. I mean, get him some, like, Dickelodeon condoms or something. Like, go to, like, you know, Spencer's where they have. [00:45:54] Speaker C: Okay. I would try to do it sneakily, but if my part. But if my partner mentioned or asked about it why I wanted to do this one, I would tell them why and be honest about it. That's how I would do it. [00:46:17] Speaker A: Yeah, just, you know, condoms have, like, measurements on them. Like, do they at all? [00:46:24] Speaker B: Nope. Let's see. Small condoms. Yeah, they have my one custom fit condoms. And you can, like, order those. [00:46:43] Speaker C: No, scroll back up. [00:46:46] Speaker B: What. What do you see down. [00:46:50] Speaker C: You can choose your size. That. [00:46:53] Speaker B: Yeah, smaller size. Let's. I kind of want to buy, like, one of these tiny little condoms, except it's $12 for a single condom of, like, the single. And I'm like. Or is it a sampler pack? Sampler pack select. Okay. It comes in six. So it's six. So it's like $2 a condom. I. I kind of want to fucking. [00:47:28] Speaker C: Is there, like, a recommended measurement? [00:47:33] Speaker B: I. I hate how it's like, smaller size, regular size. I'm like, that. That hurts feelings. That is exactly how feelings get hurt, you know, Or. Or, like, get it like a ring and, like, you know, put that, you know, over the condom, and then, you know, he has a little trash bag and, you know, stays on. [00:48:00] Speaker A: There's also girl condoms. They're not. [00:48:05] Speaker C: They're not much better. [00:48:06] Speaker A: Okay. [00:48:06] Speaker B: I mean. Yeah, they're not called condoms. They're called something different to forget what. But they're, like, huge, like fucking frisbees. What are female condoms called? No, God damn it. [00:48:32] Speaker C: Like, there's still condoms. Like, it hasn't changed. [00:48:35] Speaker B: Yeah, no, but, like, [00:48:38] Speaker A: condoms. They're called women's condoms. Vaginal condoms. They're coming up under condom. [00:48:45] Speaker C: Yeah. I don't know why they had different name guys. [00:48:48] Speaker B: No, they. They have a fucking different goddamn name. And I cannot. [00:48:53] Speaker C: Babe, you're not thinking of a Venus cup, right? [00:48:56] Speaker B: No, no, no. [00:48:57] Speaker C: Okay. I just had to make sure. [00:49:03] Speaker B: God, that now, like, what is another name for a female? No, like, it had another name. I swear to God. Like, like it is now. [00:49:19] Speaker C: Maybe you're just thinking of a brand. [00:49:22] Speaker B: No, I'm not. Like, like, it had, like, another name, you know, and, you know, like, it. Like an innocuous name. Just like, oh, yeah. And now it is fucking, you know, Mandela affecting me right now. Oh, God. Why is it Doing this. A diaphragm. Thank you. A diaphragm. Holy shit. [00:50:00] Speaker C: Why would it be called a diaphragm? [00:50:02] Speaker B: It's called a diaphragm, but it's not. What is the difference between a female condom and a diaphragm? Yeah. Suck my whole dick, mochi. Yeah. Yeah. It makes me feel so good. [00:50:17] Speaker C: No, diagrams have muscles. Diaphragm Diaphragms have muscles. They contract like your lungs. [00:50:28] Speaker A: No, a diaphragm is actually a, a, it's, it's not a female condom. It's something that was put at the end of your cervix that covered it basically. [00:50:39] Speaker B: Like. [00:50:39] Speaker C: Oh. So it was, you know those little. Oh, it was a birth control. Like, like an inserted birth control. [00:50:45] Speaker A: Yeah, you know, like the one, you see that crazy lady on that one show where she leaves a diaphragm out for her daughter in law. [00:50:57] Speaker B: Female diaphragm. [00:50:59] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:51:03] Speaker C: Yeah. That is not a condom. [00:51:05] Speaker B: It's a condom. [00:51:06] Speaker C: No, it's not. A condom is a fucking, for lack of a better term, sock. That is a bottle cap. They are completely different. [00:51:17] Speaker B: I hate how it's like not showing me images and shit. [00:51:20] Speaker C: Well, yeah, Women's bodies aren't supposed to be talked about in science. [00:51:25] Speaker B: This is not science. This is like, like I don't even know where to buy a diaphragm now. I want it like shopping. Let's see, where do I buy a diaphragm? Do you have to get them prescribed? Kind of horseshit is this. [00:51:45] Speaker C: Yeah, babe, you have to, you have to go to a doctor review on birth control. You're not allowed to just go get it yourself. But no, I mean for a reason though. [00:51:55] Speaker B: Next stop, get your prescription online. I, I, I can't get a prescription for it. [00:52:02] Speaker C: That's what planned Parenthood is for. [00:52:06] Speaker B: So, you know, back to this. Due to this tiny little dick. Just get some smaller condoms, go online, find the little. Oh yeah, I forgot the little dickelodeon condoms. And you know. Yeah. Holy. [00:52:22] Speaker A: It's $200. [00:52:23] Speaker B: Yeah. They're wildly expensive. [00:52:28] Speaker A: Wow. [00:52:28] Speaker C: Are they reusable? [00:52:30] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:52:32] Speaker C: So you'd have to wash it out. [00:52:35] Speaker B: Yeah, I mean you have to do the same thing with like vaginas too. [00:52:37] Speaker C: But I wouldn't have to pull something out of my vagina to wash and then insert again at a later date. [00:52:44] Speaker B: Like it. Okay, so what I, I have seen before is it's like a, like a big frisbee looking thing. Like it's like the size of a small dinner plate and it like Goes in kind of like a, you know, like a glove. [00:53:04] Speaker A: But like it should be the size less than the your hands. It didn't be that big. I think you might have been seeing something different. [00:53:15] Speaker B: No, I, I, I, I am getting Mandela affected right now, today. I have seen the pictures, cuz I'm like, holy. [00:53:25] Speaker C: What you're describing is a cover for a pro. An ultrasound probe. Like either it's a cover for an ultrasound probe or it's an animal. [00:53:35] Speaker B: It's like a, it's like a condom, but it's just like big. It's. [00:53:40] Speaker C: That would not work. That is clearly big for another reason. [00:53:44] Speaker B: On the outside, like the outer lit. That way, you know, the penis can like find like. [00:53:48] Speaker C: Are you sure it's not like a hand glove? [00:53:51] Speaker B: No, it's not a hand glove. You would just put on a glove [00:53:55] Speaker A: a picture of one and it, it's not that big. Dude, that does not fit up someone's vajayjay. [00:54:02] Speaker C: Okay, I think you're just thinking of an ultrasound probe. Cover. [00:54:06] Speaker A: Ultrasound probe cover. [00:54:10] Speaker B: No, no, not that, [00:54:15] Speaker A: That's what we were talking about. A diaphragm. [00:54:18] Speaker C: That's the diaphragm, babe. [00:54:19] Speaker B: Yeah, no, it is Mandela affecting me right now. I am telling you this. [00:54:23] Speaker C: Are we talking about the condom? Are we talking about that? Because I don't know which one you're talking about. [00:54:28] Speaker B: I, I swear I'm now I, I'm going to up my whole algorithm. Female, condom for sale. No. Female. [00:54:52] Speaker A: I need to look up images. [00:54:54] Speaker B: I am trying to, but it keeps on putting me on shopping. Female condom. See, see, look at this shit. Look, look at this shit. This is the shit that I was talking about. Look at that fucking thing. [00:55:14] Speaker C: That's not the size of a dinner plate. [00:55:16] Speaker B: That is the size of a small dinner plate. [00:55:18] Speaker C: What? [00:55:19] Speaker B: Yes. [00:55:20] Speaker C: No, it's not. [00:55:20] Speaker A: No, it's not. [00:55:22] Speaker C: That is not the size of a dinner plate. [00:55:24] Speaker B: A small dinner plate. [00:55:25] Speaker C: No, that's smaller than the room of a coffee cup. [00:55:29] Speaker B: A small dinner plate. [00:55:31] Speaker C: What the is a small dinner plate to you? Okay, the, so the dinner plates we [00:55:37] Speaker B: use very small dinner plate saucer. [00:55:40] Speaker A: It looks like it could be the size of a SC perchy. [00:55:46] Speaker C: You cannot use Etsy to validate yourself. Etsy does not count. [00:55:54] Speaker B: Oh, look, look at this target. Oh, oh. Is this target right here? [00:55:59] Speaker C: That's. That is not a small dinner plate. That's a regular sized dinner plate. [00:56:06] Speaker B: Look at it. Look at this boom. Like yeah, small dinner plate. Small dinner plate. [00:56:13] Speaker A: What the. [00:56:14] Speaker B: Yes, small dinner plate. Thank you. Thank you. I'VE been vindicated. [00:56:19] Speaker C: That is one of the worst drawings of a vagina I have ever seen in my life. [00:56:23] Speaker B: Yeah, it looks like a oyster. 100%, but, you know. [00:56:27] Speaker C: Wait, that's what oysters look like. Don't they have, like, the. I thought they have, like, the flaps that look like fish. [00:56:34] Speaker B: Oyster. Yeah. I mean, yeah, kind of, but yeah, that's like what oysters look like. I don't like eating oysters, but, yeah, so sorry, dude, you have a, you know, sorry your boyfriend has a tiny little dick. As long as it makes you happy, you know, everything is good. Just get him a smaller condom or get yourself a, you know, female condom. [00:57:04] Speaker C: Well, no, she's. Just try something. If he asks, be honest about it. If not, you never have to tell [00:57:09] Speaker B: or get a diaphragm. [00:57:12] Speaker C: Okay. [00:57:15] Speaker B: I am a hundred percent in a different. In a different universe. I am 100% on this. [00:57:23] Speaker C: Okay. Even dessert plates aren't small. [00:57:27] Speaker B: Now, I want to take you to a fancy restaurant just to be like, look, tiny. Look. And then, like, go buy, like, one of these female condoms and just, like, put it on. Fucking. Yeah. At the restaurant. Well, it's not gonna be a used one. Obviously not. [00:57:45] Speaker C: No. If we're gonna do that, we should just steal the plate and do it at home. [00:57:51] Speaker B: Get arrested. Be like, yeah, Officer. I had to show her that the condom is the same size as the stick dinner plate. This tiny little dinner plate. Oh, my God. [00:58:02] Speaker C: So, yes, old co workers, she. Whenever we went out for food, like, sometimes she would just steal, like, a fork or a spoon or a plate. One time she stole a little. She stole a little pot because it looked like a little. It looked like a little stewing pot. So just. And it came, like, the cheese sauce came in it, and she. She straight up just took the mini pot with her when she left. That was. Oh, he's so weird. [00:58:29] Speaker B: I. I hate to tell you this. That was you. [00:58:34] Speaker C: No, she gave it to me afterwards because I asked her for it. [00:58:37] Speaker B: I'm like. I'm about to say, like, we have that in the pantry. [00:58:41] Speaker C: No, she offered to. Because, like. Cause I said late. Because, like, I had said, oh, my God, these are so cute. And we left the restaurant, and afterwards, she's like, hey, do you want it? And I was like, yes, I wanted it. [00:58:55] Speaker B: I guarantee you. Courtney can tell you how many fucking, like, silverwares and cups and all this shit gets stolen from the restaurant all the fucking time. [00:59:06] Speaker C: Like, should I have said, like, no and, like, taking it back to the restaurant? [00:59:10] Speaker B: No, we have it now it's ours. Fuck them. [00:59:14] Speaker A: Oh my God, this is hilarious. [00:59:16] Speaker B: It cost them like, $2. Fuck em. Who cares? [00:59:19] Speaker C: I think we. I think she lasted six months. She wasn't very smart. She was. She was not smart. [00:59:31] Speaker B: Yeah, I mean, that's usually what happens. [00:59:35] Speaker C: And like, she wasn't like. And she wasn't like, dumb in a funny way. Like, she was dumb in a really bad way. [00:59:42] Speaker B: Not in a cute way. [00:59:43] Speaker C: Yeah, no, it was bad. [00:59:49] Speaker B: All right, we're gonna go ahead and end the episode there. I had other. Am I the. And other dumbass. Whatever it. But yeah, we'll. We'll see you all next week.
