Headache From Hell

[00:00:01] Speaker A: All right, everybody. Hello, and welcome to the Human podcast. This is Alex the Truck, your host and all that bullshit. We got my wife over here. Just my wife. And then we got Courtney across the land on the Internet. That. That's Courtney. [00:00:19] Speaker B: Yep. Here. [00:00:22] Speaker A: So, like, I don't know why. Just the universe hates everybody. Like, this week was, like, a bad week for everyone. I know. [00:00:41] Speaker C: This is truth. [00:00:44] Speaker A: Like, my wife is sick. I mean, she's not talking into her microphone. [00:00:49] Speaker C: Oh, am I not? [00:00:51] Speaker A: There you go. It's a little bit better. You can probably hear she's all, like, sniffly. [00:00:58] Speaker C: And, yeah, it's great. [00:01:02] Speaker A: But, like, this entire week from Monday has just been nonsense over nonsense over nonsense. And you know what? [00:01:17] Speaker C: You're right. It is a. It has been a bad week. [00:01:21] Speaker A: Yeah. Not every week can be a good week. Not every year can be a good year. It's been a, like, 20, 20 bad year. [00:01:29] Speaker C: Yeah, it's been a really bad week. [00:01:32] Speaker A: And, you know, like, I had to end it off, you know, pretty good. Like, today. I like to get the good news out of the way. I went out to range day, shot a bunch of guns, and it's one of them days where people will just be like, yeah, come out here and play with my expensive guns that you'll never be able to afford. And then, you know, we'll. We'll, like, guilt you into buying something cool and expensive anyway. Like, Courtney, do you ever shoot guns? Do you ever have, like, any interest in that? [00:02:18] Speaker B: Yeah, but, like, I haven't really done it lately. Like, the only. There's only been a few times I've done it. [00:02:30] Speaker A: I mean, next time you come out here, take you out to the range. And, you know, now. Now I've a plethora of guns ATF off. And, yeah, like, I always invite people like, my. Come on out, shoot some guns, have some fun. And then, like, I don't know. I don't want to go. Really, you know, shoot some guns. They're loud, and, like, everyone, like, treats guns like they're, like, a problem, especially in, like, voting season. And everyone that's like, I don't want to touch the guns, they're like, I. Okay, you're voting for Kamala, then what. What is it, Mochi? Like, like, the problem with having a cat is it's like a child that can't talk to you. Like, it doesn't want anything. It just wants your attention, you know, from a distance, though, and if you don't give it, they're going to ruin everything for you. [00:03:43] Speaker C: She's a pet me with your eyes cat. [00:03:49] Speaker A: But the, the day was, was awful. You know, Monday, fucking long ass day at work. Mochi, come here. I don't like what you're doing. It's making me nervous. [00:04:10] Speaker C: What, you don't like her resting cat face? [00:04:13] Speaker A: The fact that she's not laying down and is like getting ready to like pounce on something, you know, makes me think that she's going to do some up. Oh, she's, she, she has like the I'm about to commit a genocide face on right now and I don't know what her deal is. [00:04:30] Speaker C: Her pizza so round when she, when she crouches like that. [00:04:37] Speaker A: But yeah, Monday wasn't as bad as everything but a couple accidents on the road. I'm like okay, fine. And I, I just challenge the universe. I'm like, what more can you bring to this week? Because I already had like a six day week planned and I'm like bring it. And then Wednesday comes, car accident, really bad one, two of them, you know, at the end of my day and I'm like, well, so if you're in Durango area, you understand there was a Swift truck driver. I hate these, you know, dumbass drivers that go to Swift, make $600 a week driving a truck and have no goddamn training whatsoever. I, I'm just going to blame Swift on this one head on collision with a Toyota Corolla. [00:05:39] Speaker C: Like how the one car go out of traffic into the other lane. [00:05:44] Speaker A: Like I'm sure, yeah, it was like during, like this really like, you know, tight turn. [00:05:50] Speaker C: Huh. [00:05:51] Speaker A: And I'm sure Swift didn't, you know, make that turn quite so well because if you don't know about it, you're like oh, you know. So I assume that Swift just kind of came in like that and just boom, clipped that car and its whole up. Like I don't have any like those like you know who did what and you know all that because they're not gonna release, you know that hardcore. But yeah, I'm gonna blame Swift. Swift probably killed like three people, you know, up on 160 minutes, minutes before I was supposed to get through and I could have had my entire done. [00:06:41] Speaker C: Did you get to see any blood? [00:06:43] Speaker A: No, I mean I've seen plenty of dead people on the road. [00:06:48] Speaker C: Well, yeah, but did you see blood? [00:06:52] Speaker A: No. They're actually really good at cleaning it up. There's poor Coca Cola on it and it evaporates it. I feel like if you had a Coca Cola pool and put someone in it, they would like disintegrate that's disgusting. Yeah, well, like there was, you know, people that would like put like nails in like Coca Cola and like, it would like eat away at the nails and eat away at like teeth and. And I'm like, damn, Coca Cola is not that good for you. [00:07:28] Speaker C: What the fuck even is Coca Cola? I'm sure it's like, no, literally, what is it? What is it? Is it carbonated? What is it made of? [00:07:39] Speaker A: It's made of carbonated water and some acid, I guess, and some stuff to make it taste reasonable. [00:07:50] Speaker C: Like this is like some creepy like dude out in like the Midwest who's like, made his own like miracle drink. And it's just a bunch of different toxins thrown together and hopefully you don't die when you drink it. [00:08:03] Speaker A: I mean, that's pretty much what it is. That's what it is. Like, what the fuck? You can cut like Coca Cola and like sodas out of your diet and like, it makes like a big difference. [00:08:15] Speaker C: Oh my God. No, that shit's nasty. [00:08:20] Speaker A: I mean, like, I'm not gonna like, you know, big. I'm never drinking Coke again. I'm like, yeah, if I get a fast food, I'll, you know, grab myself a, you know, like a Dr. Pepper or like root beer or something like that. I'm like, I'm not gonna say I'm never drinking Coca Cola or any soda ever again. [00:08:38] Speaker C: It tastes like old chicken. It's like been breaded, but the bread breading like got soft and then it was deep fried again. [00:08:46] Speaker A: No, like that. [00:08:47] Speaker C: Like that's how it tastes. [00:08:48] Speaker A: Like at my bar you can get Coca Cola there. Cuz like they have like the little fountain drink thing and the Coca Cola tastes weird there. [00:09:00] Speaker C: Do they have their own recipe? [00:09:02] Speaker A: No, it like comes out a little, you know, fountain drink sprayer thingy. And I don't know what it is. Like everything else tastes fine. Like the water tastes fine. [00:09:14] Speaker C: Like there are different recipes for Coca Cola. Like McDonald's owns like a very specific recipe for Coca Cola, which is why McDonald's Coca Cola tastes different from everybody else's. They have, they have, they own their own version of Coca Cola. Like a side recipe. Well, I mean, so like you, you could literally just make your own Coke. Oh, fucking Coca Cola. [00:09:36] Speaker A: Like one of my friends like put me onto it and like, hey, the Coca Cola here. Like the best way to put it is it tastes moldy. Yeah, like, like, but like not like a terrible moldy. Like. Let me try that again. Moldy. Like when you smell a stinky Smell. And you're like, I gotta smell it again. Yeah. And you do a double dig. Like, I don't. [00:10:02] Speaker C: Sometimes it is satisfying to do that. I'm not gonna lie. [00:10:06] Speaker A: But, yeah, I'm, like, sitting there like. Like, the Sprite doesn't taste moldy, so it's, like, not the nozzle or anything like that. Like, I. I've seen everything they do, how they clean everything, and I've, you know, been in their, you know, back room. Really just, you know, if you've ever been behind a bar and you don't work there, you've been at that bar too long. Emoji. I don't like what. What your eyes are telling me. Stop that she's judging. Stop the. [00:10:45] Speaker C: Waiting. Where she wants to jump and how she wants to jump. [00:10:48] Speaker A: She. She's like. She's planning on how to ruin my life right now. [00:10:54] Speaker C: Yep. She's so austere. [00:10:57] Speaker A: She has that look of scar when he's standing on the mountaintop watching Mufasa die. [00:11:03] Speaker C: Her cheek fluffs her. Her cheeks are extra fluffy, but her nose is still a little drawn in. There are 44 expressions that a cat can make that we as humans so far have deciphered. [00:11:18] Speaker A: So, yeah, my. And I'm almost done with sober October, too. [00:11:25] Speaker C: Oh, yeah. [00:11:26] Speaker A: So, like, all month, I. I still. Still have been a good boy. No drugs, no alcohol. [00:11:34] Speaker C: Props. [00:11:35] Speaker A: And I got to say this, you know, as someone that's, like, almost done. That will be done by. Okay. [00:11:43] Speaker C: Like, do you want me to go pick her up? [00:11:44] Speaker A: No, I'm just gonna make sure she doesn't up too much. [00:11:53] Speaker C: Just clear her highway. [00:11:55] Speaker A: I am. That's what I'm doing there now. Now you can go up straight. But I. I gotta say this. There. There's no benefit to it. There's no benefit to stopping any drugs or drinking, you know, unless you do it to such an extent that it can, you know, up your whole life. It just, you know, keep it in moderation there. Like, I. I went out and bought myself a bottle of whiskey today because I. I think my wife would like it. It's 10th Mountain Springs, Al Alpin glow sage influe infused peach vanilla. God, I cannot read. But can you smell still? [00:13:04] Speaker C: Not much. [00:13:05] Speaker A: Okay, you're smelling still. Like, my wife might have Covid. [00:13:11] Speaker C: I don't know. I tested negative for Covid. I went to the doctor, and they were like, can I test you for Covid? And the first time, I was like, no, I don't want to be tested again for it. Just to be Positive. And then they asked me second time, and I'm like, what the fuck? Yes, test me. Jesus Christ. What the fuck was I thinking? The chick was like, yeah, it's. You're a little muddle headed. And I'm like, yeah, like the brain frog. The brain fog I have for my lyrica. Oh, my God. Being sick has extenuated it. I am stupid. No, seriously, like, I was so stupid at work. Like, I was just stupid. [00:13:50] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:13:52] Speaker C: God, I hate this brain fog, but it's. I hate it when a side effect of a drug is worse. Is worth what the drug does. [00:14:03] Speaker A: Well, I mean, like, I. I get these cluster headaches and like. Courtney, like, how often do you get a headache? [00:14:17] Speaker B: Maybe like once or twice a week. [00:14:22] Speaker A: Like, imagine like, taking, you know, all those headaches that you get, like, once or twice a week, boom, boom, boom, boom. And then, you know, combine them all into once a month. You get like a major headache. [00:14:36] Speaker C: Nope. [00:14:39] Speaker A: You know, like that. [00:14:40] Speaker C: That. [00:14:40] Speaker A: That's what, like a cluster headache is. It, like, feels like a spiky strawberry is, like, behind my eye, and it's like, pulsing and I'm like. And it's like. [00:14:54] Speaker B: I would say try Botox, but you're afraid of needles. [00:14:58] Speaker A: No. [00:14:59] Speaker C: That's what you perceive it as. I perceive it as like a shiny iron bar, but it's like a statue and acts like defeat at both sides. That's how I perceive that structure to be a strawberry. [00:15:14] Speaker A: Just like, you know, like a weird shape behind my eye. Like in just like pulses. And it's like once a month, like, the rest of the month. No headaches, nothing. I don't even get heartburn. It's like. This is like the one thing that, you know, takes me the down. I feel like it's like. It's like a period for, like, my brain, but there's like no blood. [00:15:46] Speaker C: I hate how you're right and also not right. Ugh. Continue. [00:15:51] Speaker A: No, like, I would. It's like, would you rather like, lightly spot all month long and never have any cramps or just have, like, one day of. Just. [00:16:05] Speaker C: Just one day when I had a uterus, there were liter. Like, you cramp all the time when you have a uterus. Like, it never stops. You cramp all the time. Of course I'm gonna buy a single day for 29 odd days without. [00:16:27] Speaker A: Okay, well, that. That's what it's like then. But it's like the worst. Okay, have you. Have you decided on genocide? Okay, let's go. Go, go. Do. Do whatever you're gonna do. Yeah, she like, I have speakers just sitting like next to my computer, like on my mini fridge. And I, I should just take those down to the basement. But she likes standing castle. [00:16:56] Speaker C: Yeah, she likes to be queen of the castles. [00:16:59] Speaker A: The whole reason I haven't taken them down, like, like I, I could use that room, but I'm like, yeah, I'll just have that for her. [00:17:07] Speaker C: I love doing stuff for our cats. [00:17:10] Speaker A: It's like doing stuff for your kids, you know, and, and I, I love like going to like people that truly have kids and like, yeah, we're like the same. I have cats at home. And like, you just see him have like a tiny, tiny little brain aneurysm. Like, you're wrong in every way. My kids are like, way like better than cats. It's like, no, you know, having cats is like the way to go. Like, ask any like, woman that's had like children and cats. Like, if you ask my mom, like, you know, if you could do it over and you could just have cats, you know, would you rather just have cats? And I believe the answer would be yes. You know, they can't say that to their kids face because they're like, well, you know, you're a nightmare that I was forced to love by the government. So yeah, I, I would have never given up my kids. But it's like if you would have like gone back in time with all the knowledge you have in your head and it's like, yeah, condoms, you know, you just got out and paid for the condoms. Just get it all done and be, yep, no kids. Like, like I, I see more and more people doing that nowadays where they're like, yeah, we, we don't, we don't want kids. Or I just, you know, hang out with such debaucherous people that they'll never have kids. But then like, so like hit their 30s and like, I kind of want a kid. I kind, it's like, you don't have to have the fear of missing out. But yeah, go ahead and have your kid. I'm, I'll not have kids for you. So anytime I talk to like, like my best friend Ben, he has like a bunch of kids and you know, we'll talk all the time and you know, he'll just, you can hear like the jealousy a little bit that I don't have kids. It's like a double edged sword. Like, like, Courtney, you want kids, right? [00:19:26] Speaker B: If it happens, it happens. [00:19:29] Speaker A: I mean, you, you could easily go get a kid. Like, they're like, I don't want A kid. Right now, men are giving out the secret recipe for children every day, like, for free. But, like, we have, you know, the last remaining ingredient for children. Yeah, we have it. It's a closely guarded secret. And only we can make it, you know, for human life. And we give it out back. This woman wants to, you know, have my kid. Yeah, dude, do it. And then it always turns into a nightmare. So, I mean, I'm like, trying to think, like, do I have any friends that have parents that are still together? And I'm like, not really. What? Like, everyone that I know either, like, they're one of their parents is dead. And like, that. That's a sad thought. Like when you, like, hit your 30s and it's like you go around and like, oh, yeah, your parents. And it's like, oh, yeah, my mom's dead. It's like, oh, yeah, like, like my parents staying together. And like my dad, he. He loves getting divorced, I guess. I think he's done with that. I think he, like, you know, hit his, you know, time where he's like, I don't. I don't enjoy that no more. [00:21:16] Speaker C: No, Heather's gonna. No, I love Heather. She's never leaving. She's great. She's great for Leo. I love her. [00:21:24] Speaker A: Just name drop everyone. [00:21:26] Speaker C: Oh, my God. I can't help it. [00:21:29] Speaker A: I love that about my wife. She just like, name drops all the people. [00:21:33] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:21:37] Speaker A: But, yeah, I mean, like, that, that. That's another thing I hate about myself. Like, I. I have like such severe, like, ADD ADHD that I'll be talking and in the middle of a sentence, forget anything I was saying. Like, like my brain is just like, oh, you hit an error. You know, you have too much in your brain. We're going to wipe everything, including the. You're thinking of right now. Yeah, it makes me feel like I'm like, running for president. Yeah, it makes me feel like Joe Biden. I'm like, oh, no. And I'm not even old enough to run for president yet. So, like, I would get up there and be, you know, having like a debate and make. [00:22:21] Speaker C: Wait, you're not 35. Oh, yeah. [00:22:25] Speaker A: 35 years old to run for president. [00:22:27] Speaker C: Oh. [00:22:30] Speaker B: That'S like, so weird. [00:22:32] Speaker A: I thought it was 29, 35, like, unless they change something. [00:22:37] Speaker C: Oh, I could be wrong. [00:22:40] Speaker B: Do it younger. [00:22:42] Speaker A: Yeah, like. [00:22:43] Speaker C: Like, I don't know if it should be 29. I have mixed feelings about that. [00:22:47] Speaker A: Minimum age to be president. [00:22:50] Speaker C: According to USA.gov the US Constitution states that the president must be a natural born citizen. [00:22:57] Speaker A: Of the United States, be at least. [00:22:59] Speaker C: 35 years old, have been a resident. [00:23:01] Speaker A: Of the United States for 14 years. [00:23:03] Speaker C: What the. Yeah. [00:23:04] Speaker A: Save to be 35, be a natural born and be a resident here for 14 years, which, by the next presidency or by the next election will be a thing. I can run. I can technically run because there's no other, like, prerequisites. Like, you don't have to be in the military. So, yeah, I can just, like, throw my name and be like, I'm gonna be president, the United States. I mean, we'll live in such a wackadoo world. I mean, like, I kind of wonder. [00:23:38] Speaker C: Aren'T you allowed to vote for yourself? [00:23:42] Speaker A: Yeah, you can. I doubt the one single vote for yourself would, you know, do anything. [00:23:49] Speaker C: Oh, no, I just didn't know if I could do it or not. [00:23:52] Speaker A: Why would you vote for somebody else? [00:23:55] Speaker C: I don't know. [00:23:56] Speaker A: You back. Imagine, like, Donald Trump out there back. Yeah, I'm gonna vote for. Oh, I like how Kamala Harris is running everything. I'm gonna vote for Kamala Harris. [00:24:08] Speaker C: Can I vote for my cat? [00:24:10] Speaker A: Yeah, you can vote for anybody you want. You can scratch out names on the ballot and put whatever you want, but it's like a fucking waste of a ballot. You might as well not even vote. [00:24:20] Speaker C: My vote doesn't matter. [00:24:23] Speaker A: It slightly matters. [00:24:24] Speaker C: Like, no, honestly, I don't feel like my vote matters. [00:24:29] Speaker A: Like, I need to go turn in my ballot. [00:24:31] Speaker C: Is that pathetic? [00:24:33] Speaker A: I mean, in the long run, your vote does not matter. Yes, you are correct on that. In the long run. No. You know, anything that you want, as far as politics go does not matter, but might as well put it in that way you can complain about it like that. That's what I get. I get to complain about it. Because if, you know, you're like, I hate the president. Oh, who did you vote for? Well, I didn't vote. Then you don't get a say. Shut the fuck up, you idiot. You know, I tried to make a difference. I tried to, you know, vote for whoever I wanted to vote for or vote for whatever I wanted to vote for. Like, vote no on, you know, proposition KK here in Colorado, you know, gun tax. Fuck that. [00:25:21] Speaker C: Vote no. 1. Prop 1, 149. [00:25:24] Speaker A: What is that? [00:25:25] Speaker C: Remember that ballot you're reading about how, like, it's that you thought, like, vets could be, like, er. Like, oh, my God, my words. They don't. [00:25:33] Speaker A: Okay, so, yeah, they want to, like, reclassify veterinarians and all that bullshit. [00:25:40] Speaker C: Oh, yeah. So they're trying to make it so that you can be a vet in two years basically. Almost all online study, like no hands on this has been initiated by companies like Chewy and, and fucking Petco and Petsmart. They're trying to make an easy way to make cheap vets that should not be allowed to perform surgery or prescribe meds. Like it's fucked up and it's being. And like it's just companies are, it's profit ran has absolutely nothing to do for animals and it's very dangerous. [00:26:20] Speaker A: Yeah, everything is profit ran. Everything in this world is run by money. Why? What's wrong with Chewy? [00:26:26] Speaker C: Everything's wrong with Chewy. Continue. [00:26:29] Speaker A: Like, like, like what? [00:26:31] Speaker C: Like Chewy is like Walmart and it's in like, and it's like it, it's not a nice Walmart. [00:26:40] Speaker A: It's not a nice Walmart. [00:26:42] Speaker C: You know there's like nice Walmarts and there's like that's not a nice, that's like, you know, like don't make me say it. [00:26:48] Speaker A: Like she's like, there's nice Walmarts and then there's black Walmart like the Walmart down in Fountain, Colorado. Or if they make you, you know, turn in your bag and you can't walk around the Walmart with a bag in, you know, that's a bad Walmart. [00:27:06] Speaker C: Yeah, it's, it's kinky. Like there's this Walmart you don't go to and it's a Walmart you don't go to. [00:27:16] Speaker A: Yeah, I mean I don't have any problem with any Walmart ever. Yeah, I'm like, if I go into a Walmart and I'm like, oh yeah, there's you know, like any Walmart I go into, I'm going to get my shit checked every single goddamn time. You know, like if I walk in that, they're like, sir, can we see what your receipt and all that. I'm like, but if I'm walking with my wife and she's pushing the cart right on through. Ma'am, we know you didn't steal anything. [00:27:50] Speaker C: I'm not stopping for no one to check my cart. I want to get out to my car as quickly as possible. I have ice cream that is defrosting. [00:27:58] Speaker A: That's all she buys from Walmart. It's just like I don't buy anything from Walmart. [00:28:02] Speaker C: Okay. I have bought a couple of things from Walmart in last year. Like I bought like a gift bag and some tissue paper because I've cuz like I needed it, it was a 24 hour Walmart and I needed gift wrapping stuff. [00:28:16] Speaker A: She, she like doesn't plan and she's like, oh shit. [00:28:22] Speaker C: Yeah, I don't plan. [00:28:25] Speaker A: I mean I, I don't plan neither. But you know, at least I, I try and plan, you know, a little bit into advance. But yeah, I mean I never do plan. I, I just, I play by ear. I'm like, I, that's why I enjoy that Amazon exists. So if I do plan for some, I'm good, but if I don't plan for some, I can just go to Walmart and like, I feel like every store in the future is just gonna be a Walmart or just some giant conglomerate or something or another. Like, if you really think about it, it's like, yeah, welcome to the future. [00:29:11] Speaker C: Like, I just, I, I don't understand how like the concept of a grocery store that's not Walmart or Safeway, like there people used to have like their own, like tiny marts. Yeah, like what, how did that work? Like, I just, I never saw it at all growing up and I'm very confused by it. [00:29:30] Speaker A: So back in the day, you know, individuals that would have their own stores, they would, you know, order shit and then mark it up in their store. Then Walmart came into town and like, hey, we can fucking do better prices than this tiny little mart. And we have a bigger fucking selection because we have more money. And so they'd come in and you know, all these tiny little shops could not compete and they would have to rely on their loyal people to, you know, keep on shopping there. But it would take such a hit that they're like, yeah, we have to close down and then everyone just has to now rely on Walmart. And I feel like it's the point to where once Walmart has complete global domination by force, they're gonna just raise their prices back up to the point where, you know, oh man, I missed when that little stop and shop had, you know, reasonable prices. It's like, yep, that ain't the thing no more. [00:30:34] Speaker C: So people had their own stores and they picked out what to sell the people and people came and bought them. [00:30:40] Speaker A: Yeah, I mean, and like gas stations, like that too. [00:30:47] Speaker C: Yeah, they're like that too. [00:30:50] Speaker A: Like I'm a sucker for small business, like a huge sucker. Like I understand that I can get, you know, something similar that you're selling for cheaper from somewhere else. Like, you know, when I went out to range day, like they had a bunch of vendors out there and people. I, I know that I Have met before and, you know, have a good rapport with, like, I got a rifle sling out there and it, it was like 60 bucks, you know, and that, that's, you know, pretty much on point for, you know, other rifle slings. But normally, like, they're like, you know, 80 bucks on their website and they like, lowered it down to 60 because they had so many goddamn problems processing my order because they had a new system and everything. And they're like, oh, dude, you've been great, and you got all the kinks worked out for us. So now when we sell to the next person, they're not just walking away and bag, oh, fuck this, I guess. And so, yeah, I was like, going around like, like, the whiskey, small business. And I'm like, I would much rather support a small business. You know, Yes, I spend a little bit more, but, you know, if I have a problem with something at Walmart, like, yeah, well, whatever. Sucks to be you. But if I have a problem with any of these people, I can call them directly to their cell phone, beg, hey, I had a, you know, this issue. Can, can you help me out? And like, yeah, absolutely, we can help you out. You know, even if it's at a cost to them, if there's something wrong with their product, they stand behind it. So I'm like, yeah, I'd much rather have that to where I have, like, a small little business that, you know, can help me out. So, yeah, I'm a sucker for small business rather than, you know, just like, hey, we have a hundred million dollars. You have enough, Then, you know what? Once you have enough to pay everybody out and have everyone retire, get out of the game, you know, let somebody else, you know, step up to the plate. Let somebody else have a, you know, slice of the pie. How much money is enough money? Well, I said too much money. But how much is enough? And like, that's the problem with corporations is they get too big to where they don't know who their employees are. And they're like, we're more important than you. And then they take private flights and then, you know, drink champagne and, you know, do a bunch of rich asshole things and you're like, oh, fuck these guys 100%. But small businesses, they know who everybody is. You know, they might have a bit of money, you know, and I feel like, you know, if you have like a million dollars, like, you know, that's enough to like, retire maybe one person. But yeah, to just like Denver Bullets is like a store here in Colorado Springs. Don't know why? They're called Denver Bullets, but they sell all kinds of different shotgun rounds. Like, all the, you know, fun shotgun runs, and they make their own fucking bullets at their shop. [00:34:30] Speaker C: That's cool. [00:34:31] Speaker A: Yeah. So, like, the back of their shop is huge, the front of their shop kind of small, you know, kind of like smaller than, like, a convenience store at a gas station. But if you're looking for a.50 BMG, they have it in whatever you want. Like that. That's their bread and butter there. And for decent prices, too. I think it's like $44 for 10 rounds, which normally that'd be a hundred and twenty. So, yeah, I am a sucker. God damn it. But let's go to, like, last Friday. Like. Like the. The worst day of my week. I know hard lefts and all that, getting through the podcast. Last Friday, I. I get to work, and it was the worst, worst day of the week. And I. I immediately look at my sheet, and my entire truck of 250 tires is 100 out of order. And I. I look at this, and I'm like, universe, go ahead, bring it on. At this point, I don't care. You, universe. And, like, what more could you possibly do to me? And I had that thought sincerely in my head. I'm like, what more could you possibly fucking do? And so I get on the road. I'm like, whatever, I'll figure it out. Get to my first exit to get on the highway. Closed, you know, I'm like, okay. You know, they're doing some construction work over there. Whatever. I flip a. Go to the next exit. Closed due to an accident. Okay. I only have one more exit at this point. And if I. If I can't get there, then my entire day gets shot. Get to my third exit. Like, oh, there you go. You can get on the road now. I get 15 minutes down the road, and then my dashboard lights up like the 4th of July, and my truck just shuts down. Just go fuck yourself. And I, like, take an exit and, you know, get safely off the road. I'm like, whatever. Yeah, I know how to coast this bitch. And I'm like, I try to turn on the truck, and it, like, starts for, like, a couple seconds, and it all lights back up and shuts back down. I'm like, okay, it's 32 degrees outside, and I need to have some heat, but whatever. Me, I guess. And so I call roadside, and I'm like, hey, I need somebody out here. And they get it all taken care of. They're like, it's gonna be Four hours before we can get anyone out to you. I'm like, okay, cool. So I'm just sitting there twiddling my thumbs, calling my boss, who, unbeknownst to me, loaded my truck. So he was the one that loaded it wrong, but his phone was just off. I'm like, okay, well, whatever. Freezing my ass off, 32 degrees. And then they finally get there and I explain, you know, what's wrong with my truck to the dude, and he's like, oh, yeah, and pops the hood and just like, you know, does like one thing and it's back up and running. I'm like, I hate Freightliner so much. [00:38:22] Speaker C: They couldn't tell you to do that over the phone? [00:38:24] Speaker A: No, they. They don't have a text over the phone. They have, you know, someone from like the east coast on the phone. [00:38:30] Speaker C: That is so unhelpful. Oh, my God, my voice. [00:38:37] Speaker A: No, it's fine. I mean, you know, here's the thing. They don't pay me to be a mechanic. You know, there is a lot of shit that I can check and I could go over the truck with a fine tooth comb. I'm not going to. I'm not paid to do that. [00:38:52] Speaker C: No, you're not. [00:38:54] Speaker A: Yeah, so I'm going to have, you know, plus, I. I really hoped that I needed my truck to get towed back, you know, so I didn't have to unload this janky ass truck that was loaded 100% incorrectly. So I'm like, universe, go ahead, send me back. And so, like, I call my boss again. At this point, it's like 8:00. Still nothing, radio silence. I'm like, he has to be awake. And so, like, I call, like, my dispatch desk and like, one of the other drivers answers the phone. I'm like, dude, is boss there? And he's like, no. I'm like, okay, well, I'm coming back. Let. Let him know. Let whoever needs to know know I'm coming back. My truck broke down. Life sucks and all that. And he's like, all right, sure. And lost all of my overtime for this entire week. Had a truck break down. And I just sit, you know, at freezing temperatures for hours. But I have to say the best part. You know, I don't have to do that day, but next week's gonna suck. Absolutely. You know, people are going to be all pissy with me. They make, well, why didn't you, you know, do that or make it work? Why didn't you check, you know, all that? I'm like, because I don't need to see what time it is. Oh, holy. We probably blown through. [00:40:40] Speaker B: Did you find any. Am I the. [00:40:41] Speaker A: Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. I found a really good one. But let's get into some fun little stories. What? Okay, go use the restroom. Sam's Club temporary clo temporarily closed due to a loose raccoon in the bakery, which is, my God. Like my, My favorite thing. Like, how does a raccoon ever get into a bakery? This is over in Maryland too. And Gasters Gathersburg. Gathersburg, yeah. October 25th, a raccoon was spotted in the store's bakery. I just imagine it like on all of the pastries. Like, I don't know if you've ever seen that meme of like the possum that's like in the donut store. Just like really fat and full of donuts and it's like, you know, do whatever you want. I've already won. Yeah. After attempts to lo locate the raccoon were unsuccessful, Sam's Club representatives were advised back best practices were to properly capture the animal. So, yeah, there's like, been no updates on, you know, this. Imagine just going to a Sam's Club you hated and just like, hey, I saw a raccoon in their bakery area and then just cost them like a day of cake sales. [00:42:27] Speaker B: Oh, my gosh. [00:42:29] Speaker A: I don't know who goes to a Sam's Club. [00:42:31] Speaker B: Like, why don't you like Sam's Club? [00:42:34] Speaker A: It's Walmart, you know, like Sam Walton, you know, Sam's Club, Walmart Walton, you know, it's a wholesale Walmart. Oh, yeah. You know, Sam Walton's Club, you know, that's what it is. [00:42:56] Speaker B: And maybe that's why a lot of their products can be the same. [00:43:00] Speaker A: Yeah, they're the same. They're. They're. Who supplies Walmart. So yeah, that, that, that's what that is. Go to a Costco if you have a Costco. Like, if you only have a Sam's. Sam's Club, you know, go to a Sam's Club. I. I get it. Sure, whatever. But yeah, now, like, I, I refuse to support Sam's Club or Walmart or any of those greedy companies. [00:43:34] Speaker B: That Walmart all the time. [00:43:37] Speaker A: I used to work there. Yeah, Yeah. I mean, like, if a Walmart's convenient to get to. Sure. Like if I live across the street from a Walmart, I'm like, God damn it, I have to now. But I don't live across the street from Walmart anymore. [00:43:55] Speaker B: Oh, yeah. [00:43:58] Speaker A: You know, I could net now. I. I live like a Convoluted complicated way to a Walmart. And I'm like, I don't want to go. And my wife doesn't like it either. [00:44:10] Speaker C: Like, what? [00:44:11] Speaker A: Walmart? [00:44:12] Speaker C: Oh, yeah, no, Walmart. [00:44:15] Speaker A: So. [00:44:17] Speaker C: Oh my gosh. [00:44:19] Speaker A: You know, h. Hopefully that. [00:44:25] Speaker C: Didn't my dad work for Walmart? [00:44:27] Speaker A: Yeah, your dad worked for Walmart and he got in trouble for stealing time from Walmart. [00:44:34] Speaker C: What? [00:44:36] Speaker A: Yes. That is why he got fired. No. [00:44:40] Speaker C: What? [00:44:40] Speaker A: Yes. Yeah. Yes. This is amazing. So. So my. What? My, my. I guess father in law worked for Walmart and he would clock in 15 minutes early and clock out like 15 minutes late, stealing like 15 minutes each time or 30 minutes each day. And like, just like every day he worked at Walmart would steal like 30 minutes off the time clock. [00:45:13] Speaker C: Oh, my God. [00:45:14] Speaker A: And that's why he got fired. [00:45:17] Speaker C: Oh, my God. [00:45:20] Speaker A: Yeah. No, I. I knew people that knew him. Yeah. And he was well known for this. [00:45:27] Speaker C: Oh, my God. [00:45:28] Speaker A: He wasn't known for working hard. [00:45:30] Speaker C: No, he was a. My dad was incredibly lazy. [00:45:36] Speaker B: Oh, my God. [00:45:37] Speaker C: No, he was a fucking lazy bastard. [00:45:40] Speaker A: And speaking of Walmart, former Ohio Walmart employee pees on 27 bags of potting mix right in time for winter. Dude, you know, a store in Boardman, Ohio, is out $400 worth of potting mix after a former employee urinated on the products. If it was a female, you can charge more for it. Boardman police were called to the Walmart at 1300 Doral Drive around 3:50pm dude, in the afternoon. [00:46:18] Speaker C: Afternoon. [00:46:21] Speaker A: Was urinating on the products for sale outside the business. What? The reports state that the suspect was still in the area when the police arrived and admitted to officers that he had been drinking earlier in the day and had urinated behind a pallet of potting mix. Security footage provided by the Shore store shows the suspect consuming alcohol while outside the store and also captured his ruination of the potting mix. Ruination? Jesus Christ. [00:46:56] Speaker C: No, because it's urination. Ruination. Urination. [00:47:00] Speaker A: An employee told store police that the entire pallet would be disposed of, totaling a 401 total loss of 72 bags of potting mix. [00:47:11] Speaker C: How much did he pee? Those Just like, pissing and walking? [00:47:15] Speaker A: No, like he just peed behind the fucking potting mix. [00:47:18] Speaker C: How big is the potting mix? [00:47:21] Speaker A: Obviously not that good. [00:47:22] Speaker C: No, like how big? How much is a potting mix? Like how many pounds or bags? [00:47:27] Speaker A: Like the giant fucking bags of potting mix. [00:47:30] Speaker C: I'm just confused with a ratio to him producing urine to the size. [00:47:34] Speaker A: Oh, no. Since one bag was touched, they are all touched. [00:47:37] Speaker C: Okay. Okay. All right. That makes more sense. Thank you. [00:47:42] Speaker A: And imagine throwing garbage, like, dirt into, like, the garbage. Like, just throw it out back and, like, let people take it. But no one, like, no one enjoys stuff that's, like, outside. Like, the shitty pools that they put out front of Walmarts. [00:48:00] Speaker C: Oh, they made the noise, like, that noise. [00:48:06] Speaker A: Like, I remember as a kid, like, I would go over to, like, my mama and papa's house and, like, as, like, a young boy, we had, like, little plastic shitty, like, Walmart pool. And it was great. It was, you know, we. We played around and splashed in. It. [00:48:20] Speaker C: Was the bottom like, pebbled or. [00:48:23] Speaker A: Yeah, it was like, pebbled. Yeah. And then, like, one day we got, like, the bigger pool. Like, it had, like, the sides have folded in and all that. Like, the side would always bust out. Yeah. [00:48:35] Speaker C: Yes. [00:48:37] Speaker A: But it was. It was a bigger pool. And so we took the smaller pool and turned that into a boat inside the bigger pool. And we. We thought we were awesome. [00:48:46] Speaker C: That is awesome. [00:48:50] Speaker A: And, you know, eventually the little pool, like, got a hole in the bottom, and I'm like, ah. We're saying. And we, like, you know, pretend like we were, like, in a sinking ship. And it was a fun time. And then eventually that broke, and eventually the bigger pool, like, busted out the side. But I'm like, it's like the best use of, like, you know, 50 bucks is just to get, like, one of these little shitty pools. I think I might do that next summer. I love this. [00:49:18] Speaker C: Yes, let's do this next summer. I want a boat in the backyard. And then we can make a hole and make it sink, too. [00:49:28] Speaker A: Well, we'll see. Yes. Go out there and I wonder if. [00:49:37] Speaker B: Someone who dies with an erection still keeps the erection after death. [00:49:42] Speaker A: Yeah, you get an erection when you die. [00:49:46] Speaker B: What? [00:49:47] Speaker A: Yes. You get an erection when you die. [00:49:50] Speaker C: No way. [00:49:51] Speaker A: Yes. [00:49:53] Speaker C: What the fuck? No way. Prove that. [00:49:56] Speaker A: Okay, I'll vote for right now. Do you get an erection when you die? Yes. It's possible for a person to have an erection after death. Oh, yeah. And also women, you know, becoming gorgeous, too. [00:50:16] Speaker C: Interesting. [00:50:22] Speaker A: So, yes, you. You can, you know. You know, have. It'll go away eventually. I mean, you know, your dick is just a blood balloon. [00:50:32] Speaker C: It's filling up with lymph. [00:50:34] Speaker A: A blood balloon? [00:50:37] Speaker C: Yes. [00:50:39] Speaker A: But, you know, it's doing something. I don't know, like. Like, I'm sure, like, all the blood, like, if you're. Especially if you're, like, standing up or, like, cleaning up or, like, if you're, you know, dick is on the bottom part of your body. Yeah, it's gonna, you know, everything's gonna relax and you know, blood's gonna go where it's gonna go. It's not gonna be like, you know, a fucking massive like hard rager, you know, I'm fucking 18 boner. But yeah, it's gonna be coming to gorge. I mean it's not what you like. [00:51:13] Speaker C: Gonna want, you know, not knowledge I needed. [00:51:16] Speaker A: Yeah. So yeah, that, that dude cost $400. That, that, that's hilarious. And the business is interested in pursuing charges. Yeah, we're going to charge you $400. But yet they're going to steal way more than that from any of their employees. You know, Walmart, Walmart, let's see. And then Wisconsin pizzeria apologizes after customers get high from pizzas accidentally contaminated with thc. Which is like, you know, how much more do I have to pay for that now? But a Wisconsin based pizza restaurant has a pol issued an apology after it was discovered that some of the pizzas were laced with weed. Officials in public health Madison and Dane county released in a news statement that the famous yeti's pizza in Stockton has intentionally been served with contaminated thc. Blah, blah, blah blah. EMS workers reportedly notified public health department and they had transported multiple people with THC related symptoms at the time. All of whom were reported eating the famous yeti's pizza. [00:52:51] Speaker C: Wait, just for like acting like they're high, they're going to the ER people. [00:52:57] Speaker A: Like if you don't know you're high. Like if you don't know, like that gummy you just ate was weed, you're not gonna have a good time. [00:53:13] Speaker C: How did it get into the pizza? [00:53:15] Speaker A: That's what I'm trying to figure out. As mentioned in the famous yeti statement, the public health department confirmed that the famous yetis does indeed operate in a building with shared industrial kitchen where many businesses make food and other products. [00:53:31] Speaker C: Oh, they don't own their own processing plan. That thing's expensive though. [00:53:39] Speaker A: It was Delta 9 THC, which is like not even real THC, just like some shitty. We can ship it to you because it's not technically weed. [00:53:55] Speaker C: Oh so I thought one of their employees was like whoops, dropped some like weed butter or something. Like I was trying to figure out how they hided how the like weed hidden ingredient that's incorporated into the pizza. [00:54:06] Speaker A: So yeah, it's just like a shared kitchen. Now I gotta, you know, search for famous yeti's pizza. [00:54:16] Speaker C: I hope this doesn't harm them. They're not fault at all, huh? [00:54:25] Speaker A: Yeah. The famous Yeti's pizza is the name of the place. Let's see how much this shit fucking cost. Like, see if they, like, deserve to. Yeah, they even have grinders out there, which is a sandwich for those that are unaware. Yeah. So the entire pizza place is just called Famous Yetis? Yeah, I thought it was a famous Yeti's pizza. Like, I thought, like, that was the name of the pizzas. The Famous Yetis. [00:55:00] Speaker C: Oh, my God. I thought that at first, but halfway there was like, oh, no, wait, duh. [00:55:06] Speaker A: But yeah, they have a lunch special. Any slice? 375. Very reasonable. Slice and sodas. Five bucks. Two slices. [00:55:16] Speaker C: Pizza. Like good pizza? [00:55:19] Speaker A: Yeah. I mean, even shitty pizza is fine. [00:55:21] Speaker C: Yeah. There's no such thing as bad pizza. It's just better pizza. [00:55:28] Speaker A: The same Papa John's. But now for Am I the. By local connection. 460. Am I the asshole for refusing to pay for my friend's meal after she invited me out for dinner? So my friend, 29, female, and I, 28, male, went out for dinner the other night. She invited me out to this nice place, which was cool because we hadn't hung out in a while, and I was really looking forward to catching up. When we got there, she ordered way more food and drink than I did. I kept it light because I'm trying to save money, so I only ordered a main course and water. At the end of the meal, the waiter brought the check, and my friend looked at me and asked if I'd cover this one because. And asked if I'd cover this one. I was kind of thrown off, especially since she invited me out. I told her I wasn't planning on paying for both of us and reminded her that she was the one who suggested dinner. She got really upset and thought it was obvious that she meant I should pay because I make more money than her. I do. But not by a huge margin. I'm also trying to be on a budget right now. She ended up paying her share, but called me stingy and said I was being unfair. Am I the. For refusing to pay for her meal when she was the one who invited me out? [00:56:55] Speaker C: What the. Of course not. [00:56:59] Speaker A: I mean, like, was she inviting you out, like, romantically? Like, was she, like, romantically, like, interested in you? Like, like, trying to, like, do, like, a date thing? Or was she, you know, trying to just get a free meal out of, like, some dumb male friend that she has? [00:57:17] Speaker C: This is not what nice friends do to each other. [00:57:21] Speaker B: Is it? A guy yeah. [00:57:23] Speaker A: So, yeah, you know, op is a dude and the friend is a female. [00:57:28] Speaker B: Oh. [00:57:29] Speaker A: And they're the same age. [00:57:31] Speaker C: Makes it even worse that. That she thought he should pay. [00:57:35] Speaker B: Yeah, no, if you invite someone, then yeah, but like, no way is he a dick. It's on her. [00:57:46] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:57:50] Speaker A: I mean, like, you know, the other week we, like, me and a bunch of my friends went to Denny's and it was like my friend Jeff's birthday. And so I'm like, you know, let me get it. And like, like, we were like, me and my friend Reese were like fighting on who's gonna get the bill. And Reese is like, I'll get this bill. And then I'm like, okay, Reese, the next time we go out. I got it. So I mean, it's like, like if you discuss this before then. Yes. You know, if you invite someone out, like, hey, you want to go to this nice restaurant? And it's like, yeah, sure. It's like, hey, can you pay for it though? It's like, like if you're having somebody else pay for you go light on the food. Yeah. No drinks, none of that. So, yeah, this. This lady is a piece of. Not the asshole. That's so embarrassing. How does one even reach that level of entitlement? Not the I have friends who I gladly pay for knowing that they'll pay next time we see each other a lot. This is just entitlement itself. No go, red flag and whatever word in that lane you can think of. The person inviting others normally pays the bill or the bill is split. [00:59:11] Speaker B: Yep. So yeah, and it, it's like they over ordered because they were fully intended not to pay for it. [00:59:22] Speaker A: Yeah, I mean, you know, if she, you know, like, was interested in you and like, you know, flirting with you, maybe, but nah. All right. Up next, relationship advice. What would you do? My 30, female partner of eight years, male, 44, lied about his real age by a lot. This is crazy. I currently can't sleep because of all this. Back in 2016, I met and fell in love with a guy, I'll call him Max. Max and I hit it off immediately and our relationship started very quickly. I was almost 21 at. I was. I was 21 almost 22 at the time. In the first week or two of seeing him, I asked how old Max was. He is the kind of person that looked like he could be literally any age, so it was hard to tell, which is why I asked. He avoided the question at first and asked me, how old do I look? I guess somewhere around 28 to 30 ish. He smiled and said yes, I was right. I pushed for the exact age and he admitted that he was actually 36. He asked if that was okay with me. The age gap had been 7 to 10 years. A 15 age gap was conforming. But really I liked him and we got along great. So I said that was okay for me though the maximum age gap I'd be comfortable with. We want a long term relationship loving relationship for 7ish years. Currently 2024. We are now going through a very long, drawn out, heartbreaking breakup. It's complicated. I don't have time to go into all the details. He thinks I don't express my emotions well. And I think he's manipulative and simply doesn't like whenever I have negative emotions. We have to remain living together for now. Separate bedrooms and bathrooms. About a week ago he left go on a much needed trip and I've been loving having the house to myself. But today I stumbled upon the truth. I'm not going to go into how I came about it, but it was an accident. I came across his birth date when it was written on an official document. He has always been super secretive of official documents and made sure I never really saw them. Y'all, my jaw hit the floor when I read his birth year 1970. He's literally 24 years older than me. He's older than my freaking mother. I am flabbergasted. I feel. Oh my God. I don't even know. I feel disgusting. Honestly, I feel violated. This man lied to me just to get me and continue to lie. Like, was he never going to tell me he wasn't 36 when he met me? He was 46. I was barely 22, barely at a home. I'm questioning reality right now. Like whatever other secrets did I miss? Did he have a family? Is he a criminal? Like, what the heck. I feel totally blindsided and disillusioned, like I'm living in the Truman show or something crazy. I can't feel that this is possibly real, but it is. I'll start looking at housing alternatives. I really want to kick him out. I've emailed my therapist, so don't worry. I. I'm going to wait until he's back to confront him about it. How would you confront him? Has anyone else been in this situation before? What did you do and what happened when he confronted them? Him. I'll update in a few weeks. Edit. He is currently 54, whereas I thought he was 44 and he was 46 when we met. Sorry if it's confusing, so what. What would you do, Courtney? [01:03:24] Speaker B: I wouldn't pay for someone else ever. [01:03:27] Speaker A: Oh, this is completely different. [01:03:29] Speaker B: Oh, I zoned out. [01:03:30] Speaker C: Deny. [01:03:31] Speaker A: You totally zoned. [01:03:32] Speaker C: Oh, my God, Courtney, you so zoned out. [01:03:35] Speaker B: I did. [01:03:37] Speaker C: What are TLDR. [01:03:38] Speaker B: TLDR. [01:03:39] Speaker A: TLDR. This chick met a dude when she was 21 years old, and he said that he was 36. They went on a seven year relationship, had a nice, loving relationship, and they're going through a breakout right now. Kind of long and drawn out. They have to live together, though. And then she found out that he was actually 10 years older than that. That he was like, like 22 years older than her or something like that. So he lied about his birth. You know, he lied about his age by, like, another 10 years. [01:04:18] Speaker B: Yeah, I would break up with him. [01:04:20] Speaker A: Well, they're already breaking up. You know, they're. They're in a, you know, drawn out breakup right now. Like. Like, what would you do, babe? Like, if you found out that I was actually, you know, like 20 years older than you. [01:04:38] Speaker B: But you're not. [01:04:39] Speaker A: Like, what would you do if you found out that I was actually, like, 53? [01:04:44] Speaker C: I'd have to think about it for a long time before I decide what I would decide to do. [01:04:50] Speaker B: Yeah, we're procrastinators. We'd have to make lists. [01:04:55] Speaker A: You, like, make like a flowchart and like, okay, you know, you, like, you. You had, like a partner for eight years. Girl, you. You had someone that had a loving relationship. And if you couldn't figure out in. [01:05:09] Speaker B: Eight years, it would be a blessing because Alex thinks she's gonna die young too. So you guys will die roughly around the same time. [01:05:18] Speaker A: No, it'll be a murder suicide for sure. But, yeah, but, like, if I was 24 years older than you, you know, for like eight years and, like, just said I was like 10 years older than you. Yeah, it'd be a mind trip. Let's see what the comments say. Don't confront them. Just pack up and leave. When you're safely out, text him you know his real age and you don't want to contact him. You don't want to contact him again and block him. Let your employer knows what's going on in case he shows up to work. Honestly, to answer your question, I would not confront him. The relationship is over. You have nothing to gain from this. Yeah, he may become dangerous, as you said. Who is he really? If you're going through eight years of lying about this, he might be hiding way more Tell people you trust as a backup. Leave as soon as you can. Stay safe. [01:06:23] Speaker C: So do they have a lawyer? They're going through with the divorce. [01:06:26] Speaker A: They're not married. [01:06:28] Speaker C: Oh, why did I think they were getting divorced? [01:06:32] Speaker A: No, they're just, you know, they're dating for, you know, seven years. [01:06:37] Speaker C: Oh, okay. Yeah, no, she needs to leave. [01:06:41] Speaker A: She has a therapist. [01:06:43] Speaker C: It's weird. [01:06:51] Speaker A: I want to say anything to his next birthday and simply text him, Happy 55, 54, 55th birthday. [01:07:00] Speaker B: Yep. [01:07:06] Speaker A: Sounds like you're already in the process of breaking up. Just let it be. Wash your hands of it and leave them in the dust. But I mean, like, you. You had a good relationship for nearly a decade, you know, and what would. [01:07:29] Speaker C: You do if you found out I was like, hella older than you? [01:07:33] Speaker A: I wouldn't care. Age is a number. And the. The fact that this chick is, like, making a deal out of it, it is wild. She's like, you know, you. You can't, you know, be this old. It's like, yeah, whatever. So, girl, you. You had a good relationship longer than most people ever have a relationship, longer than most people are married. And now you. You're just, like, looking for things to, you know, use as bait to. [01:08:15] Speaker B: To, you know, I just think it's. I think part of it is, is that he's even older than, like, she's like half his age. [01:08:25] Speaker C: Yeah. [01:08:26] Speaker B: That's where it's like if. If he's not able to. Like, it's like those guys that say, oh, I can date. I'll date an 18 or 21 year old but won't be guy friends because, oh, they' kids, like, and your girlfriend supposedly isn't that. I just think it's ridiculous. [01:08:47] Speaker C: Yeah. [01:08:58] Speaker A: Yeah. Somebody else says, sounds kind of insane how you only believed him to be 30 when he was 46. Was there never any indication, like, have you met his parents or friends? Have you never filled out paperwork where he had to fill out his age? At the same time, I'm like, in a general sense of things, why does this matter so much? You're breaking up and you say he was manipulative. So I imagine a lot of went through in the course of the relationship was worse and more important things that him lying about his age is a minor thing compared to the rest. Yeah, I mean, op. You know, you're young, you're younger than me. Doesn't really matter. If you had a good time, you had a good time. If you had a bad time, you had a bad time. That. That sucks. That. That Happened to you ask who see IDs, like any of my friends, we like, you know, break out IDs and like, we like make fun of each other's pictures do that. You know, go into a bar. You know, when he walks in, he's gonna have to show his id. I mean, there, there's ways to, you know, figure it out. But, you know, obviously how he looked and how he was not, you know, any indication and you still went on with a relationship, but, you know, you're going to discriminate him against him because of his age originally, you know, you, you're a shallow. [01:10:42] Speaker C: Honestly, they're already breaking up. I don't know why, but, but you know, breaking up. [01:10:47] Speaker A: Yeah, they're already breaking up. But the fact that she didn't like, the fact that, you know, he was a, you know, a certain age, you know, means that she was being shallow. And I'm like, you know, like, what, what are you gonna do when you hit 40 and no one wants to date you and then like, you know, you wear makeup and go out and you have a good night and some dude like really is into you and then he's like, oh, ew, gross, you're 40. Ew. No. And you could have had a nice relationship and all that. You know, age is just a number. Like there, there is a point where it gets, you know, creepy. And yeah, that, that is definitely in creepy territory that the 40, you know, 6 year old was looking at like 21 year olds. But yeah, you know, you're just being shallow. You're both consenting adults and you know, he looked good for what you wanted and you had probably some good years out of it. So take the good, leave the bad and get over it. You're already done. So that's it for this week. We'll be back next week for some more random ramblings and we might have a reunion of argue this coming up maybe. [01:12:31] Speaker B: Oh, wow. Who's going to do it with you? [01:12:34] Speaker A: Tron. [01:12:35] Speaker B: Oh, okay. [01:12:36] Speaker A: Yeah, I still see Tron and I didn't cut him out of my life. Still, my friend, we're. We're going to CCW class tomorrow. So we're going to go shoot. Shoot some guns and learn some laws and then get that all done. But I don't know why people have to like honk for so damn long. Like if someone does something wrong, you honk once and like, dude, you know, you know, make a hand gesture at him like, what the. Or flip them off like that's it. But people will like, just lay on their horn back, you know, just, like, to annoy you. It's like, you know, in a country full of 300 million guns, like, road rage is not a great way to die. We'll end on that. We'll see you all next week. You can follow me Instagram. I don't give a shit. Alex. Truck. Peace. Bye. Whatever.
