Episode Transcript
[00:00:00] Speaker A: Alrighty. Alrighty, Everybody. Welcome to 2025. It is the fucking New Year, stupid.
I don't know why anyone cares at all.
Like, I feel like every New Year's people care less.
Like, for the New Year's here, three fireworks got shot off. And then people are like, ah, this. We're done.
And I enjoyed it. I'm like, oh, good.
[00:00:33] Speaker B: I know. I was so happy because I forgot to get gabapentin for the cats. And Goose is panicking. And I was like, oh, I'm a bad cat mom. And then it stops and I'm like, okay. Phew. Less bad cat mom.
[00:00:44] Speaker C: Oh, my God, you guys were so lucky. It was so annoying. New Year's, everyone was like, it went popping off all over town.
[00:00:53] Speaker B: Isn't it illegal?
[00:00:55] Speaker A: Yes. Yeah, it's a huge fire hazard.
[00:00:58] Speaker B: Oh, my God. Do people really get go to jail.
[00:01:00] Speaker A: For setting off fireworks all the time?
[00:01:02] Speaker B: They do, yeah. Oh.
[00:01:06] Speaker A: Like, we had, like, a huge fire here a few years back.
You know, out in Fort Garland, we.
[00:01:16] Speaker B: Have huge fires every year, but continue.
[00:01:18] Speaker A: Oh, no, no. This was like.
Like the third biggest fire ever.
[00:01:23] Speaker B: Oh, that's dope.
[00:01:26] Speaker A: And it was a few million dollars, I think, like $12 million. Like, let me see.
[00:01:34] Speaker B: I say that's dope, but I mean for the environment. I don't mean for the humans who lost their homes.
[00:01:38] Speaker A: Fort Garland Fire, Spring Creek Fire in 2018.
[00:01:44] Speaker B: Oh, my God. That's when Covid came out, right?
[00:01:48] Speaker A: This is a few years ago. Yeah, yeah.
[00:01:51] Speaker B: Come out in 2020.
[00:01:53] Speaker A: Code came in 2020. So, yes, this is like six years old.
But it was a wildfire near Fort Garland and La Vida Colorado, which burned 108,000 acres, which was the third largest wildfire in Colorado history.
But it was started by Jasper Jorgensen, a citizen of Denmark, reported by immigration to the authorities as being in the United States illegally because he'd overstayed his visa and he was arrested. I think he, you know, got sent home, got sent back to Denmark.
He had been using a fire pit to grill food while camping, and he was unaware of the open fire ban, and he presumed the fire pit was fully extinguished.
Yeah, there was no way to fucking ignore the fire ban.
[00:03:05] Speaker B: Okay. No, no, no. So countries in Denmark and Sweden, that, right, they have. They have a law where it's called the hike. So people can hike wherever they want throughout the country and, like, stop for the night, set up a tent, eat their food, and move on the next day. Like. Like, that's like a thing. I'm not quite so, like, for Him. This makes complete sense. And a fire ban, quite honestly, I don't know.
Like, it's just. It's different. It's different.
[00:03:33] Speaker A: You're not hiking out to where this started.
[00:03:35] Speaker B: Where did it start?
[00:03:37] Speaker A: It was out in Fort Garland. There. There's nothing. Yeah. You won't survive a hike out there.
[00:03:43] Speaker B: Yeah, no, they're used. It's. It's a thing.
[00:03:48] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:03:49] Speaker C: Doing shit that Americans can't do, you know?
[00:03:52] Speaker A: I know it's a thing, but if you go ahead and do that out here, especially out in that neck of the woods, a gunshot's just gonna ring out, your body's gonna drop, vultures are going to come and fucking pick your remains, and no one's going to know shit.
Like, people don't want you on their property. People don't want you anywhere near their shit.
[00:04:16] Speaker B: Yeah. Because that's how it works here in.
[00:04:18] Speaker A: The U.S.
so it's like, you know.
[00:04:21] Speaker B: You may not understand the difference.
[00:04:22] Speaker A: Oh, I do. Like, yes. You know, all throughout the UK and all that shit. All throughout London, you do have the right to fucking, you know, go through, you know, someone's land, you know, not necessarily, like, through, like, their house, but, you know, like, across, like, their property. If they own, like, a huge piece of property, then you can, like, you know, camp for the night, but if you decide to, you know, pitch a tent for too long, then they can kick you off. But, yeah, I mean, he was here for a while.
He had overstayed his visa.
[00:05:02] Speaker B: How long is the visa in the U.S.
six months. Oh.
[00:05:08] Speaker A: And, like, I. I have friends here in Colorado from Denmark, and they drive around. They, you know, they get around, and they understand English quite well, and they understand how things are here in America.
So, yeah, so the. This guy.
But, yeah, I mean, it was started June 27, 2018.
It finished September 10. Wow.
You know, 2000.
[00:05:50] Speaker B: That's incredible.
[00:05:53] Speaker A: 140 structures are destroyed.
Jorgensen was declared mentally incompetent, causing the delay in his case.
I mean, like, I. I don't feel that bad because, like, most of what burnt was Forbes park, like, the magazine. So it was just millionaires watching their houses burn while they called their insurance companies and, like, hey, you owe us money.
[00:06:23] Speaker C: Wow.
[00:06:29] Speaker A: Rafano County.
[00:06:32] Speaker C: We started the podcast, right?
[00:06:34] Speaker A: Oh, yeah. Okay.
[00:06:36] Speaker C: Just making sure.
[00:06:38] Speaker A: Oh, yeah, we. We totally did.
But this is, you know, 2025. I am Alex Truck. This is the Human Podcast and all that, and nothing's gonna change. Like, you're like, oh, New Year, new podcast. No, absolutely not. Like, I don't know why anyone, you know has, like, New Year's resolutions ever.
Like, Courtney, did you make any New Year's resolutions?
[00:07:13] Speaker C: I can't eat chocolate anymore.
[00:07:16] Speaker A: Like, is that, like a mad.
[00:07:18] Speaker C: It's been make. I've been eating way too much, and it's one of the things that I shouldn't eat.
[00:07:22] Speaker B: Like, it's a trigger food.
[00:07:25] Speaker C: Yeah.
[00:07:27] Speaker A: Oh, no. I. I got her a huge thing of chocolate. Dang it.
I'll cancel the delivery.
Bunch of dark chocolates, cacaos, and dark.
[00:07:40] Speaker B: Chocolate'S the only way to go. If it's not 78% cacao or more, I'm not eating it.
[00:07:46] Speaker A: I feel like cacao is, like, a vegetable, which, like, just takes the chocolate and ruins it.
[00:07:52] Speaker B: Chocolate is bitter. It's not. Chocolate doesn't taste unbitter until you add sugar.
You have to add sugar for chocolate to not taste. Basically, like coffee.
[00:08:04] Speaker C: Yeah.
[00:08:07] Speaker A: I want milk chocolate. Like that. That. That is the pinnacle of everything, milk chocolate.
Anything else? Garbage. Get it out of here.
[00:08:18] Speaker B: Milk chocolate is disgusting.
[00:08:21] Speaker A: Milk chocolate is the pinnacle.
[00:08:25] Speaker B: It's so nasty.
I don't like it when shit gets too sweet and it's so melty. Like, ugh.
[00:08:34] Speaker A: Yeah, it's.
[00:08:35] Speaker B: It's melty.
[00:08:36] Speaker A: It's the perfect.
[00:08:38] Speaker B: It's melty.
[00:08:42] Speaker A: But, yes, the charges were dropped against the Danish man, and he was just sent home.
[00:08:49] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:08:51] Speaker A: Wait.
Oh, yeah. This guy was a looney tune.
[00:08:59] Speaker B: It's a very unflattering picture.
[00:09:07] Speaker A: But, yeah, they are in the inability to prove the case beyond a reasonable cause.
Yeah, no, that. That sucks.
They reinstated the charges.
Yeah. They said that ICE was unable to take him into custody, which prompted his reinstatement of charges.
Damn. That.
That. That's gotta suck.
[00:09:44] Speaker B: Fire's cool.
[00:09:46] Speaker A: I mean, I. I remember, like, the whole. The whole time, like, La Vida Pass was just closed. It's like, you cannot go on the Vita Pass.
Like, the entire thing was on fire.
And I'm like, oh, shit.
And so we just had to, like, tell one of our customers was like, yeah, tough titties, dude. Like, you can't get anything.
I think, like, we switched over to, like, a different route for the meantime so they could get it. But, yeah, we had to, like, take back roads. And then, like, when they opened it all up is all fucking burnt.
[00:10:34] Speaker B: Did it look like the. What did it look like?
[00:10:36] Speaker A: I mean, it's still burnt. It. Like, nothing has changed.
Like, the Land Before Time. Like, just, like, just barely.
[00:10:48] Speaker B: How many movies there are from the Land Before Time? A bunch, because there's nine And I've seen them all. And do not watch.
Do not watch five through eight. It's absolute shit. Nine is like, okay, you know what? Fine is closure. It wasn't, like, bad. But don't watch anything.
[00:11:07] Speaker A: Do they all die?
[00:11:08] Speaker B: No, it's okay. No, they bring in Little Foot's dad, and he's, like, been, like, doing his own thing and adopted, like, another dinosaur as his son and. Yeah.
[00:11:19] Speaker A: Yeah. I mean, like, yeah, the, the first one was great. I'm like, boom. End it there. Like movies in the 90s, like, movies that we had, like, had as kids were weird. Like, we had the Brave Little Toaster.
To this day, I don't know what the movie is about.
Like, I, I, I see it in my head. I'm like, there's a toaster, there's a vacuum. There's a light, there's a blanket.
And I feel like there's something else.
[00:11:52] Speaker B: Okay. I used to be really scared of vacuums as a kid. And then I start. Then for a while, my parents let me watch Teletubbies. And you knew the vacuum. Like, he was so cute and funny and. And after that, I wasn't scared of vacuums anymore.
[00:12:07] Speaker C: Wait, you were scared of vacuums?
[00:12:09] Speaker B: I was terrified of them.
[00:12:12] Speaker C: You know, I'm still afraid. So. When I was a kid, I had night terrors and I was afraid of fans.
And I think.
[00:12:22] Speaker B: Yes, I remember that.
[00:12:24] Speaker C: Yeah. And so when we had these swings that were just the, the rope swings with the little circular thing on it.
[00:12:34] Speaker B: Yes.
[00:12:34] Speaker C: And it was just. And they would spin. I would hate when they spin. Spinned. And when they were by themselves, they'd spin, too.
[00:12:42] Speaker B: Yeah, they would.
[00:12:42] Speaker C: And I think this fear got exacerbated by the fact that one time I fell off and then it came back spinning at me and hit me in the head.
[00:12:52] Speaker B: Oh, yeah.
[00:12:53] Speaker C: Yeah. So quite honestly, it's really weird because, like, all of our swings, like, they were always secured when no one was using them.
And I'm afraid of some wind chimes.
[00:13:08] Speaker B: Yeah. Now, you do have to be careful about that stuff.
[00:13:13] Speaker A: I'm afraid of garage door springs.
Garage door springs.
[00:13:21] Speaker C: What are they?
[00:13:23] Speaker A: You know, like the spring you see above a garage door when it's closed.
[00:13:26] Speaker B: The curved one?
[00:13:27] Speaker A: No, like, it's like a big old, like, spiral.
[00:13:29] Speaker B: Like a. Oh, yes. Yes.
[00:13:31] Speaker A: Yeah. Like, like when, like, you close the garage door and there's like, just a big old giant spring that goes across.
Yeah. Those things terrify me.
[00:13:43] Speaker C: Like, do, you know, have a. Do you know a reasoning why it is or Not.
[00:13:48] Speaker A: Oh, yeah. Like, they're under so much pressure they will kill you if you don't know what you're doing. That. It is one of the few things I will never diy. I will pay someone to come out and do that shit.
Because, like. Like, if you ever want to, like, ruin your day, go look up garage door spring accidents.
It is not a great fucking time.
And it is a ton of blood.
Like, to just imagine how heavy are garage doors?
Like £800.
[00:14:31] Speaker B: Really?
[00:14:32] Speaker A: Yeah.
And that spring makes it to where you're able to lift it up.
[00:14:39] Speaker B: Oh.
[00:14:42] Speaker A: And so where it's a manageable, you know.
[00:14:46] Speaker B: Oh, yeah, yeah.
[00:14:48] Speaker A: So you know that that's what it does. So it is necessary.
But at the same time, it's like, yeah, they'll fucking kill you.
And, like, I've never had any, you know, experience myself, but it's like, yeah, I'll just steer away from that.
Yeah, I have no problem.
[00:15:22] Speaker C: It's funny. So it's. I'm not afraid of spiders unless, like, it's certain situations, like, if I can't really reach up into.
We have a deep sink and then the faucet becomes jiggly after a little while sometimes because it's one of those ones where you pull down it like the end of the handle or not, like, the faucet itself that I don't know how to explain it. I'm so sorry, guys.
[00:15:57] Speaker B: Is it the one that was retractable with the metal on it, or.
[00:16:00] Speaker C: Yeah, yeah. So it's retractable and it goes back into the.
To the spigot?
[00:16:07] Speaker A: Yes, basically. Yeah.
[00:16:09] Speaker C: Yeah. So you guys know what I mean? I'm sorry. I just had a stupid, high, sober moment. Anyway, it. I just can't seem to put my hand up there because I'm afraid there's spiders and I just.
I think it's because I did find a spider when I first did it. And then also, like, we do actually have, like, a lot of spiders out here and some of them are black widows, so I've had to kill a ton of black widows, so I don't want to die.
[00:16:42] Speaker A: Oh, black widows actually won't kill you.
But, like, babies, immunocompromised people and old people, they have a higher chance of killing.
But, yeah, black widows generally don't. With people like. Like, I'm not afraid of black widows. They move too slow and they run away. Like, I. I hate it when a spider acts like it knows something that I don't know. Like, when, you know, I go to, like, Smash it. And it, like, puts up its front little legs. It's gonna fight. And I'm like, what do you know that I don't? Like, I. I'm scared right now.
[00:17:27] Speaker B: He's a gold star boxer.
[00:17:29] Speaker A: Yeah. Like, they're like. And like the, like, I'm like, okay, I guess the boss fight, you know, and like, I have to kill you now. Like, I. I would much rather you run away and stay away. And then I just never know where you went. Cool.
But anytime, like, I. I see a spider, like, I could take you. I'm like, okay, maybe you can. Maybe you are like a new spider. Maybe you're Australian, you know, say crikey. And they're like, crikey. And I'm like, oh, no, we gotta run away. Sell the house, burn it. It's fine.
Call the insurance company.
Have a, you know, crazy, you know, Norwegian guy come and burn down my house.
A little callback from the earlier part of this.
Oh, and the Brave Little toaster, the one that I'm missing is a radio.
It's like the only one that did not have a eyes.
[00:18:40] Speaker B: So was this like a cartoon or was that one of those, like, Muppet esque movies?
[00:18:44] Speaker A: Oh, it's a full on cartoon.
[00:18:46] Speaker B: Okay.
Like, I thought it was like, with the thing that had like, like the tooth puppet.
[00:18:51] Speaker A: They have the full movie on, like the, the. The whole ass movie on YouTube right now.
Yeah, it's. It's a whole ass.
Yeah, yeah, the. The premise was like, of course the.
[00:19:12] Speaker B: Sewing machine's a woman.
[00:19:18] Speaker A: Yeah, like the. They, like the Brave little toaster goes on a huge ass adventure.
I think like, the light bulb gets broken at one point.
Yeah.
[00:19:37] Speaker B: You know, there, there.
What did you really have to pause on this scene?
[00:19:45] Speaker A: Is that better?
[00:19:46] Speaker B: Yeah, it's not a stack of. It's not two fucking stacks of cars with their fucking eyeballs staring at me.
[00:19:55] Speaker A: Like, there's like a scene where like they're like going across a ravine and the brave little toaster goes into the water, which I find great.
[00:20:09] Speaker C: Can you play?
[00:20:09] Speaker A: This was a good.
[00:20:11] Speaker C: What's Brave Little Toaster? Like a good movie or.
[00:20:14] Speaker A: No, as a kid? Yes, it was pretty good.
Yeah. You can see, like his light gets broken.
It's a electric blanket. A. A vacuum cleaner.
Yeah, they. They even have Osmosis Jones.
[00:20:40] Speaker B: I'm assuming that's partially educational.
[00:20:44] Speaker A: Yeah, yeah, pretty much. The whole premise is they humanize like bacteria and viruses and like, the bacteria are like the bad guys and like the immune system is like the good guys.
[00:21:01] Speaker B: So Hard sells that work.
[00:21:04] Speaker A: But it's like, way different.
It's like the immune system is like cops.
[00:21:16] Speaker B: That's hilarious.
[00:21:18] Speaker A: But like, it goes back to, like, you know, real life, you know, so it's like, you know, this guy will, like, you know, see a banana on the ground. He's like, oh, five second rule. And he throws it down the hatch. And then, like, it goes inside of him and it's like, oh, no, the bad bacteria are here. And, like, they have to, like, go fight them off.
[00:21:38] Speaker B: Five second rule.
[00:21:41] Speaker A: I mean, that, that, that's, you know, the whole thing, it depends on what.
[00:21:47] Speaker C: It is for.5 second rule.
[00:21:50] Speaker A: It was banana in the movie. I remember this. It was banana. And it hits the ground. He's. And like, his daughter or whatever is like, ew, that's disgusting. How dare you?
And he's like, oh, Flo, the rule. And eats it. I'm like, what's it?
[00:22:10] Speaker C: Open banana?
[00:22:11] Speaker A: Yeah, open banana.
[00:22:13] Speaker C: And I don't think I would, because I have dropped a banana before and every time I dropped it, they're kind of soft, so anything that's on the ground sticks to it.
[00:22:23] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:22:24] Speaker C: And the whole thing with the five second rule, like, you have to, like, they've. They've done it. And it's usually like, smooth stuff. And like, it can't really be poor stuff. Like, they actually did a study on it. I haven't looked it up in a while. Maybe I should.
So it actually has some fallacy. But I mean, if there's shit stuck to it, then I don't think I could eat it.
[00:22:57] Speaker B: Like, just stuff or like.
[00:23:01] Speaker C: Stuff sticking to it.
Just anything. Like on the grounds. Like, for a banana, at least to me, it seems like it might stick. So, like, the part I would cut it off, like the part that touched the ground, I would cut it off and I'd still eat the rest of it.
[00:23:21] Speaker A: No, I just like, it's nature's banana now.
It's like, like, even an orange. Like, even, like a dry orange. I just like, it's. It's nature's orange now. Enjoy. And I give it to nature. Like, it'll break it down.
Like, that's like. My favorite way to litter is, like, when you know nature can take care of it.
It's like, there you go.
Like, you can throw an apple into the woods and it'll be fine unless.
[00:23:54] Speaker B: The apple sprouts and germinates and takes over the forest because it's an invasive species.
[00:24:02] Speaker A: What?
[00:24:03] Speaker C: Yes.
[00:24:03] Speaker A: It's not how that works.
[00:24:06] Speaker B: Seeds sprout they do.
[00:24:08] Speaker A: They germinate and all that.
Also, birds will just eat the seeds and then them out somewhere else.
I mean, humans can't eat seeds.
[00:24:22] Speaker B: So you do realize a lot of seeds are designed to survive the. They're dessert. They're designed to survive the GI tract. So when they. When they're pooped out, they're pooped out another place and they sprout and grow there away from their parent plant. That way they're not competing for resources.
[00:24:40] Speaker A: Yeah, of course, but like, in the woods, like, there's already a canopy, so, like, new little sproutlings, you know, can't ever, you know, make it up.
I know. Because you, like, make me watch all the nature documentary.
[00:24:53] Speaker B: I know. I can't deny what you've said.
Okay, this might sound weird, but, like. So, like, whenever I write something down, like, 90% of the time, I write my initials and I date it afterwards because if it's not written down and didn't happen, it the vet world. And so, like, it's kind of satisfying to be writing 25 as opposed to 24 for. To. For the year number. I don't know why, but it looks nicer.
[00:25:35] Speaker A: Oh, I. I did find the scene of that movie. Let me. Let me share it with Courtney so she can see what I'm talking about on Osmosis Jones.
Talk about it later.
Hey, give me that egg, pal. Do the egg right there. Yes. Bill Murray.
[00:25:58] Speaker C: Dad. Hey, stop it. What are you doing?
[00:26:00] Speaker A: Hey, that's my egg. Give me that.
[00:26:05] Speaker C: Just an egg, dad.
[00:26:09] Speaker A: Okay, now I gotta choke you.
[00:26:16] Speaker C: Oh, so it's an egg.
[00:26:19] Speaker A: Now who's evolved?
What's the matter, buddy? All that salad slow you down? Huh, dad?
[00:26:28] Speaker C: Oh, my God, that's filthy.
[00:26:30] Speaker A: Honey, it wasn't. Second rule. It's the ground. You pick it up 10 seconds, you can eat it.
Oh. Oh, e.
Way worse than I thought.
[00:26:41] Speaker B: Oh, my God.
[00:26:43] Speaker A: I remember way different.
Oh, yeah. Oh, I didn't even remember the monkey part.
[00:26:49] Speaker C: I was not prepared.
[00:26:53] Speaker A: And then it, like, goes into.
Yeah, and it just turns into a cartoon.
[00:26:59] Speaker B: Oh, this is. This is really gross animation.
[00:27:04] Speaker A: Aaron Fiker.
[00:27:05] Speaker B: No, I don't need to see. See the teeth?
Biting disease.
[00:27:16] Speaker A: Not in the mouth.
[00:27:17] Speaker B: On Carter control. You're looking.
[00:27:19] Speaker A: Eating a scab. Oh, looks like we got some germs on that egg, baby.
[00:27:24] Speaker B: It's a.
[00:27:25] Speaker A: It's probably ginger vitus. Don't get carried away.
[00:27:28] Speaker B: Oh, my God.
[00:27:30] Speaker A: Yeah, it's that bad. Put your hands up.
[00:27:32] Speaker B: And we're still in the mouth.
[00:27:37] Speaker A: Yeah, it's a great Movie. Very.
[00:27:42] Speaker B: Did you guys ever see any of the Buzz Lightyear movies?
[00:27:44] Speaker A: Yeah, of course.
[00:27:45] Speaker B: They were good, right?
[00:27:47] Speaker A: Were they good, but like the new Buzz Lightyear movies or the old Buzz Lightyear?
[00:27:51] Speaker B: The old Buzz Lightyear movies with like this. With like the chick who had had like the mind control and everything?
[00:27:58] Speaker A: The chick that had the mind control?
[00:28:01] Speaker B: Yeah. No, she was like, supposed to, like, take over, like, her species as their. Their queen. She was like, nah, fuck that. I don't want to be that life. And so she was working with Buzz Lightyear and there was like a tiny show.
[00:28:15] Speaker A: There's a whole ass show.
[00:28:16] Speaker B: Yeah. And it has a chick who has the mind control.
[00:28:21] Speaker A: Yeah, let's see. Buzz Lightyear show.
[00:28:28] Speaker B: Yeah. See, there's a chick with the mind control.
Yeah, yeah, her.
[00:28:33] Speaker A: Fuck. What was her name?
[00:28:35] Speaker B: I don't remember, but I have been validated, so I'm quite pleased with myself.
[00:28:39] Speaker A: Yeah, no, that was a fucking bomb ass show.
[00:28:42] Speaker B: Yeah. Thank you.
With like the Zerg and everything. Quite honestly, I really like the Zerg. I didn't think he was scary. I was like, oh, no, this dude. Like, is that. What does that.
Is that my first introduction to soft communism that I accepted without question.
[00:29:05] Speaker A: I wonder if it's on Disney plus.
[00:29:07] Speaker B: That would be hilarious.
[00:29:10] Speaker A: I wasn't a massive fan of the show, but I can't knock the Toy Story universe for its expanding. It's crazy that.
[00:29:21] Speaker B: Are you reading your Reddit on it?
[00:29:23] Speaker A: Yeah, I'm reading a Reddit because, like, no one else has any information.
[00:29:28] Speaker B: It's not a reliable source of information.
[00:29:32] Speaker A: Like, like, where. Where do we go and find.
Okay, so you can watch the first episode.
[00:29:40] Speaker B: Oh, it's on YouTube.
[00:29:41] Speaker A: On. On YouTube, babe.
[00:29:44] Speaker B: Thank you for paying for YouTube Premium. That shit's dope.
[00:29:51] Speaker A: I mean, it is nice. I. I do enjoy it.
[00:29:55] Speaker B: As someone who watches like two hour long episodes of Chinese dramas, it's great not having ads every 20. Every 15 to 20 minutes.
[00:30:07] Speaker A: Yeah. So you just have to go on YouTube and fucking search them up.
Like, I, I feel like if no one is going to, you know, put out, like, if there's gonna like be like no Disney plus or anything like that. It is Disney property. But if they're not gonna put it out, I feel like it should just go out for free on YouTube.
Like, you know, Google can pay for the hosting cost.
Why do you look so concerned, Courtney H. You look so concerned.
[00:30:45] Speaker C: I do?
[00:30:46] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:30:47] Speaker B: Your brow is a little. Your brow is a little furled, but not that much, babe.
[00:30:53] Speaker C: Really?
I probably need to get High?
[00:30:57] Speaker B: I thought you were high. Weren't you just having.
[00:30:59] Speaker C: No, I'm not. That's why I was like, I. I had a high, sober moment, and it's like, I didn't have the excuse of being high.
[00:31:12] Speaker A: I mean, I feel that.
[00:31:13] Speaker B: What's my new motto?
It's called an oopsie when you fall asleep without pills or booze.
[00:31:25] Speaker A: So. So last night, like, I. I came out and, you know, like, my wife's like, is there anything you want to watch? So I was, like, going through Crunchyroll, and I saw an anime that I haven't seen in a while. It was so good.
[00:31:51] Speaker B: There. It's right there.
Oh, my God. This is the best anime I have watched in quite some Life Lessons with.
[00:32:03] Speaker A: Uramichi Oni San on Crunchyroll.
[00:32:10] Speaker B: It's so good.
[00:32:11] Speaker A: And it is a.
It goes through the day of a children's TV show and how these people have been beaten into the ground and given up online, you know, thinking that they're gonna have great, a great life, and they just do not.
[00:32:39] Speaker B: Middle working class is poverty.
[00:32:43] Speaker A: I mean, that. That's what we are. We're in poverty. Like, you know, get used to it.
[00:32:50] Speaker B: I am used to it, but I can still be sad about it. But this was amazing.
[00:32:56] Speaker A: Like, I. I haven't laughed that hard in a while.
[00:33:00] Speaker B: You. You fell off the couch. You were laughing so hard.
[00:33:08] Speaker A: Yeah, I mean, it is, you know.
Oh, from back in, like, 2017.
[00:33:16] Speaker B: It's this old, and I've just now seen it.
[00:33:19] Speaker A: Yeah, well, like, that. That's when the manga came out.
[00:33:22] Speaker B: Okay.
[00:33:25] Speaker A: But, yeah, phenomenal.
[00:33:29] Speaker B: Oh, my God, it was the best thing ever.
[00:33:31] Speaker A: Like, if you're a millennial, you know, like myself, that is in the middle, you know, working class.
Watch this anime.
[00:33:47] Speaker C: What anime are you talking about again?
[00:33:49] Speaker A: Life Lessons with Uramichi Onisan Life Lesson.
[00:33:54] Speaker C: Is it on Country Roll?
[00:33:55] Speaker A: Yes. U R A M I C H I O N I I S A N.
[00:34:05] Speaker B: Courtney, you've seen those little shorts of, like, the dude is talking to preschoolers and he's, like, asking, like, kind of trying to ask, ask, like, kind of, like, cute, like, life questions. And the kids are all, like. They have, like, dead eyes, and they're like, freedom and that kind of.
[00:34:19] Speaker A: Here, I'll. I'll send it to you.
[00:34:21] Speaker C: I got it.
[00:34:22] Speaker B: The anime is, like, it lives up to the shorts. Like, it lives up to it.
[00:34:28] Speaker A: The entire thing does. It's great.
[00:34:30] Speaker B: Oh, my God, it's so good.
[00:34:33] Speaker C: Oh, my God, it's so good.
Let's see.
[00:34:40] Speaker A: And it's worth getting, like a week subscription to Crunchyroll for free just to watch this anime. You can watch it in an evening.
[00:34:47] Speaker B: Yeah, it's just 13 episodes of Pure Delight.
[00:34:57] Speaker A: You know, it hit me right in my soul. I'm like, is this person me?
Holy. We've already gone 35 minutes.
[00:35:15] Speaker B: Excuse me.
The tzatziki sauce is not sitting well.
[00:35:23] Speaker A: That's fine.
So, on to some news stories. How about that?
An Arizona death row prisoner has asked the state's highest corp. Court to skip legal formalities and schedules execution earlier than authorities were aiming for. Pushing as though he. Pushing as he had had in the past, to have his death sentence carried out.
[00:35:52] Speaker B: Capital punishment. If you're on the death row, just fucking die.
[00:35:56] Speaker A: Honestly, I don't.
[00:35:58] Speaker B: Why do I have to wait?
[00:35:59] Speaker A: Yeah. I don't know why we keep, you know, criminals that are irredeemable alive. Just kill them. It's fine. You know, if they have no remorse for what they did, just, you know, beat them to death viciously. Like, make Jesus Christ make. Oh, my God.
Like, why not, like, let the family that was wronged into the room and they're like, just chained to the ground with a bait, you know, and they.
[00:36:29] Speaker B: So if he dies sooner, does the prison he's at make less money?
[00:36:33] Speaker A: Yes.
[00:36:34] Speaker C: Yeah.
[00:36:38] Speaker A: So pretty much, you know, how the prison system in the United States works is if they're at maximum capacity, the state gives them more money or the US Government will give them more money. And so they want to keep their numbers all the way to the max because they are capitalists at heart.
[00:36:56] Speaker B: Oh, my God.
[00:36:59] Speaker A: And honestly, I. I would say for the.
For everything to get better, the United States government would have to seize control of every prison and jail in the United States.
[00:37:12] Speaker B: Okay. Prisons. Prisons, like churches should not be for profit.
[00:37:18] Speaker C: Yeah.
Quite honestly, churches need to start getting text.
[00:37:23] Speaker B: Oh, my God. They do that.
[00:37:24] Speaker A: That's why I love the Church of Satan. You know, like, if I was to ever join a church, I'm not, but if I ever was to, it'd be.
[00:37:33] Speaker C: The Church of Satan, you know, you don't really, like.
I don't know. Why would you not want to join them?
[00:37:46] Speaker A: Why would I not want to join them?
[00:37:48] Speaker C: Yeah. Why don't you join them now?
[00:37:51] Speaker A: Because I have to, like, pay dues.
[00:37:54] Speaker C: You do?
[00:37:55] Speaker A: Uhhuh. Yeah.
[00:37:56] Speaker C: Thank you.
I'm going to look this up. I have to know.
[00:38:01] Speaker A: Uhhuh. Yeah.
Church. Satan does not worship the devil.
Satanists are atheists.
They see the universe as being indifferent to us.
Blah. Blah, blah, blah.
[00:38:18] Speaker B: Wait, I thought Satanists were agnostic, not atheists.
[00:38:22] Speaker A: I mean this is from the Church of Satan dot com.
[00:38:24] Speaker B: Okay, well I'm clearly I'm wrong but I, I honestly God thought they were agnostic.
[00:38:30] Speaker A: Yeah. Support the Church of Satan. You can donate now.
Do Satanists risk ritually abuse people now?
[00:38:44] Speaker B: Wait, so do they apply to the theory of stoism?
[00:38:50] Speaker C: What is stoism, Alex?
[00:38:52] Speaker B: So stoism is a theory where, so where the only thing. So you can't control what happens to you throughout your life, but you can control how you respond to what has happened to you. And the idea is like you just kind of like you accept things as they are. You kind of let them roll off your back like you're try. Like it's, it's not quite like the way I'm describing it, but it's quite honestly how I view life is like I can't control what happened to me, but I can control how I respond to things that are happening to me. And I can either choose to react or to not react.
And I do my best to not react.
[00:39:31] Speaker A: Membership is considered supporting the philosophy of the Church of Satan. So we think it's important anyone joining to have read and fully understand at least two of the major texts. The Satanic Bible by Anton Salazar Lavalley or Laval and the Satanic Scriptures by Peter Gilmore.
[00:40:00] Speaker B: What is bible short for?
[00:40:03] Speaker A: Bibliography.
[00:40:06] Speaker B: Because you can write any book and then tack Bible at the end of it and call it a Bible.
[00:40:13] Speaker A: If you're legally a minor in your place of residence, you may not join the Church of Satan unless your parents were legal going guardians are already registered members and seek registration of your own free will.
So your parents can't, you know, force you in.
You don't have to join our organization to consider yourself a Satanist. You only need to recognize yourself in the Satanic Bible and live according to the tenants outlined there within.
We don't ask people to join. That is your prerogative.
So yeah, I like, I technically can just like, you know, like I'm a Satanist, but I, I should, you know, read the book. You know, why not, let's go get the Satanic Bible off of Amazon.
[00:41:09] Speaker C: I wanted to do that too.
So there's two Bibles, two things that they say that they, that you should read. And it's this, the Bible and then the Scriptures and so they're actually available on Amazon. The Bible is worth 7.99 and the Scriptures is worth 16.95.
[00:41:39] Speaker A: I mean I feel like I can Find it for free.
But I, I feel like, you know, like, is it, is it like legitimately, like, oh, they're real books.
[00:41:57] Speaker C: Yeah.
[00:41:58] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:41:58] Speaker A: I thought they're ebooks.
[00:42:02] Speaker C: I wonder if there is an ebook.
I chose. I did the wrong thing.
[00:42:09] Speaker A: Like, I want to know how like, big the satanic scriptures are. Like, now this is something I want to know. Like, like, you know, like, how many.
Is it satanic to be a Fascist?
Same section, 308 pages.
See? How many?
[00:42:39] Speaker C: 272 pages for the Bible.
[00:42:44] Speaker A: I mean, okay, they're big words.
It's not, it's not, you know, little tiny bit Bible print. I. I like that it's a block of text though. Jesus Christ.
[00:43:01] Speaker C: Yeah.
[00:43:03] Speaker A: Like, I'm looking at the samples.
Maybe I might get one of these. Maybe I might be a Satanist.
I don't know. Like, my mom will be like, welcome to the fold. Welcome in, son.
You know, I. I didn't know you're a Satanist too.
No, but every, Every single fucking Satanist I've ever met in the Church of Satan, they're really good people.
Like, genuinely fucking good people.
[00:43:43] Speaker B: I mean, there are generally good Christians out there too. Like, it's just extremists.
[00:43:49] Speaker A: Well, like a lot of them are judgy and they're like, well, you don't do this and you don't do that, you know, oh, you're a man that likes a man. You know, you're out.
[00:44:01] Speaker B: You know, I'm so fat. I've looked for this and I can't find it. And I feel so sad. But like, I saw this post where it's like a tug of war. And on one end it says Jesus is teaching, and on the other end it's Christianity. And then the next scene down, like all of a sudden atheism is on Jesus Christ. Jesus teaching side and capitalism has joined the Christianity side and Jesus teaching is like, what the.
And I'm like, that's precisely what has happened.
There are good Christians out there, but Christianity itself is been destroyed by money.
And at the end of the day, like, is it really that hard to be nice?
Is it really that hard?
[00:44:44] Speaker C: It is why it is so hard for some people.
[00:44:49] Speaker A: It's hard for me to be nice. Like, you know, any, anytime.
Oh look, I can just go to.
[00:44:56] Speaker C: The Internet archives and like part of.
Give me one second.
[00:45:07] Speaker B: Sorry, dearest.
[00:45:08] Speaker C: I. I forgot. I forgot I had a little reflux last night. And so sometimes I do that on. I smoke a little weed on purpose so that I do cough it Up. But I didn't think when I did it on the podcast it would. But. So.
[00:45:26] Speaker A: Good news. On the Internet archive, there is the Satanic scriptures.
I don't have to pay anything for it.
[00:45:37] Speaker C: Oh, wow.
Oh, my gosh. Oh, yeah. Alex, will you send me a link to our.
When we went to the aquarium, when I took a lot of pictures?
[00:45:51] Speaker A: Yeah, I have it with your phone.
[00:45:53] Speaker C: Can you send it to me again? And then can you also send me the link for the. Whatever.
[00:46:00] Speaker A: The link for scriptures.
Oh, yeah, copy that. Actually, copy that.
I don't know what that is. Like, every time, like, I'll, like, like, hover.
Hover over, like, my notepad, and it's like, it, like, makes, like, weird music.
[00:46:36] Speaker B: I thought this was just the background music for the Bible.
[00:46:39] Speaker A: No, not at all.
[00:46:42] Speaker B: Wait, then where is it coming from? An ad?
[00:46:44] Speaker A: Like, no, I have no idea.
Like, I, like, I hover over something.
[00:46:53] Speaker B: You sure it's not the background music?
[00:46:57] Speaker A: Oh, it's on my steam.
[00:47:00] Speaker C: Oh, my God, that is so funny.
[00:47:03] Speaker A: Like, it wasn't playing because I. I had it, like, minimized. But, like, anytime I'd hover over, like, the bottom, it would just, like, play, like, you know, music from, like, a horror game. And I'm like, what is happening right now?
[00:47:18] Speaker C: Oh, my God, this is so darn cute. I'm so sorry.
Sorry. I was on Reddit while you were talking for a second, and the cutest thing came up. This other cat brought home a little orphan kitty.
[00:47:35] Speaker A: Oh.
[00:47:38] Speaker C: I left the other one where the dogs bring home a freaking little cat.
[00:47:43] Speaker B: Those ones are super cute, too.
[00:47:45] Speaker C: Yeah, it's so gosh darn cute.
[00:47:55] Speaker A: Yeah. This is Aquarium Pacific.
Share Copy link. There we go.
And I. I guarantee you, like, the. The music has just been blaring over everything, too. There you go. And then that's all the aquarium stuff.
[00:48:32] Speaker C: I just love how they're trying to say that the guy who ran people over in New Orleans wasn't a terrorist and that Luigi, the guy who killed one pharmaceutical executive is terrorist. I just find it the Most hilarious.
[00:48:50] Speaker B: The 1% is protecting their own via the social media, which feeds us lies.
[00:48:59] Speaker A: I mean, you know, running people over, you know, in your, you know, vehicle does make you a bad person, you know, no doubt.
But, you know, at the same point, you know, going through and, you know, shooting people in the street could make you a terrorist if you did it indiscriminately. He did it to one person that was a hit. That's not a terror attack.
[00:49:29] Speaker B: Thank you.
[00:49:31] Speaker A: Yeah. So if. And Everyone knows what Luigi Mangione did. I don't know if that's how you say his name. I'm gonna. You know, I like Mangioni.
So, yeah, he's my hero.
And I love all these social justice warriors are like, this man came through and killed someone's father. Is this who you call your hero? And it's like, yup. And then people come through. It's like, united Health denied care for my, you know, terminally ill father who had to, you know, spend the last two years of his life on phone calls trying to, you know, get care for himself.
So, yeah, United.
[00:50:25] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:50:26] Speaker A: What?
The fact you farted hard.
[00:50:29] Speaker C: Oh, my God, it's so bad.
[00:50:32] Speaker A: Oh, smell you.
[00:50:34] Speaker C: I didn't hear it.
Alex, get some beano. It feels.
[00:50:40] Speaker B: Oh, my God, I have the hot farts.
Like, for me, like, okay. Quite honestly, sometimes it's pretty satisfying to have like a bad fart and just kind of like rot in your own stench. But, like, even for me, that was bad.
Oh, God, I told you.
[00:50:58] Speaker C: Oh, God, I told you.
Oh, my God, you guys.
[00:51:06] Speaker A: All right, we're gonna do Am I the?
And relationship advice. And then, you know, get this one in the books. First episode of the year.
Am I the? By Arcnado1.
Wife wants me to paint print a 150 page recipe book on a work printer. I don't want to. Am I the asshole?
[00:51:32] Speaker B: So fucking lutely not.
[00:51:35] Speaker A: Context. My wife and my wife put in a lot of effort to compile a set of recipe recipes for our dinner cookbook. I contributed by helping her combined 50 plus one or two recipes into a single PDF document. She wants me to use a work computer to print out a book. I don't feel comfortable doing that because one, I'm part of an I. T. Committee that's looking into the misuse of company resources, and two, I don't like being a hypocrite. Her point is, I should do it for her. Am I the what? The more facts. I work at a university.
She works in corporate America. Previously, her morals are more flexible than mine. She's fine bending the rules. Often I'm okay paying slightly more to do the right thing. We have more than enough money to print the cookbook through FedEx. I offered to take the mental load of doing this myself. I'm fine printing five to ten pages occasionally. She agrees that ten, a thousand, is too much. But she can't understand why I care so much about 150. This is meaningless. Married forever. Couple arguments and an otherwise loving marriage.
[00:52:56] Speaker B: Fuck is Wrong with her, dude, Just.
[00:52:58] Speaker A: Take it to the library, dude. Like you can go.
[00:53:01] Speaker B: He literally offered to take it to FedEx.
[00:53:05] Speaker A: There's places you can send this PDF to. They'll bind it, make it into a book, you know, make the entire thing into a book and send it back to you like as like a hardcover book. It's dope.
[00:53:23] Speaker B: So very occasionally I'll have to. So we don't have a printer. So every now and again I have to print stuff from work. And the max I've ever printed was five pages. One time I didn't realize for my chronic pain doctor, they wanted me to print and fill up paper beforehand. It was 22 fucking pages of shit that I, I didn't realize how long, how many pages it was to print out. And like it was printing and like it was at the end of the day and I was just waiting for my manager to walk in and I was in like tears and I'm like, I'm using so much pain paper for my own personal reasons.
[00:53:56] Speaker C: My God, Alex.
[00:53:58] Speaker A: Yeah, like, and then I had to.
[00:53:59] Speaker B: Fucking fill out 22 pages.
[00:54:05] Speaker C: You could have done it on the computer.
[00:54:07] Speaker B: No, I, no, they wanted it printed off and I could either bring it in filled out or I'd have to fill it out when I got there. And I asked for the earliest appointment possible. So my appointment was at 8, but they opened at 7:40. And there's no way I was like.
[00:54:23] Speaker C: There'S an app, there's way you can put it on your, save it on your phone as the PDF and then when there's certain, I think it's an app or something and it like puts, it lets you answer and type in instead of having to write it down.
[00:54:42] Speaker B: Oh my God.
[00:54:44] Speaker C: Yeah.
[00:54:45] Speaker A: I mean only some things like sometimes people like do like a photocopy and like get a caddy wampus and then it doesn't work.
And I always hated like the whole paper system cuz like they'll have you write on paper. That way you can hand the paperwork to them and then they're going to go type it back into a computer. I'm like, talk about redundant. You could have just sent me all this and I could have typed it in for you.
That way you're not something up like my name.
[00:55:22] Speaker B: Oh wait, so it's just Adobe or is it a different app?
[00:55:25] Speaker A: I mean, I use Adobe. Yeah, so work for that.
[00:55:28] Speaker B: So you pay for it?
[00:55:30] Speaker A: I mean, I pay for it.
Adobe is $40 a month, so it's.
[00:55:36] Speaker B: Just I have to print out Paperwork for my next visit. On Tuesday, on Monday. And it's gonna. It's gonna be like 15 pages. And I'm like, I don't know why y'all need me to fill this shit out. I come in, I give you a verbal description why it's there, you type it up and you're done. Like, we don't. I don't. We don't make fucking clients do this at work. Like, they come in, we write, we talk about what they're here for, we type it up, and then it's done. I don't understand why I have to fill out all this fucking paperwork.
[00:56:05] Speaker C: Quite honestly, it's probably for insurance reasons, because they're assholes.
[00:56:11] Speaker B: I was not prepared to fill out 22 pages of shit.
[00:56:15] Speaker C: Yeah.
[00:56:16] Speaker B: And half of it. Like, I didn't even understand why it was there. And then, like, I got there and like, oh, no, this is for us to fill out. And that's for the doctor to fill out. And I'm just like, then why did you ask me to fill out all 22 pages?
[00:56:30] Speaker A: Yeah. I mean, fucking. They're shitty people.
[00:56:33] Speaker B: Like, seriously, I was so annoyed, but I can't be too mad at them because they're. They keep me pain meds, so I can't be too bitchy about it.
[00:56:43] Speaker A: But, yeah, like, I. I have like, Adobe, you know, Express, and I can do all kinds of different. And, you know, I pay for it all.
I mean, I. I need to, you know, get back to making karaoke videos and. But so, yeah, dude, that doesn't want to print 150 pages. Take it to the library. Libraries have, you know, good fucking printers just as well.
And you can send the entire fucking PDF and it'll print it all out lickety split.
And you can probably pay like, a little bit more and have it in color.
[00:57:29] Speaker B: Precisely. That's what Opiah offered to do.
[00:57:35] Speaker A: You know, I love this first comment. Just go print it at FedEx and bring it home.
Even better if you print them in protector sheets in a binder action ends this argument.
[00:57:47] Speaker B: Yeah, I can't deny that.
Just. Yeah, I can't.
[00:57:52] Speaker C: It.
[00:57:52] Speaker B: Yeah, it solves the issue.
Oh, my God, it really solves the issue.
[00:57:57] Speaker A: It's like the whole like. Like the first episode of, like, Yu Yu Hakusho, where the guy's like, hey, go steal this comic, you know, from this store. And he goes in and buys the comic from the store and gives it to him. He's like, hey, you're supposed to steal it. You know, when you steal Something. It doesn't come with a receipt. And he beats him up anyway.
[00:58:22] Speaker C: Oh, my God.
[00:58:28] Speaker A: You know, someone else said, I got fired for something like this. It's not worth the $20 in savings.
[00:58:35] Speaker B: And also, Opie's job is to find this. Like, it's. Yeah, no, it's his job to look out for this kind of stuff. So it'd be even worse.
[00:58:44] Speaker A: I mean, like, at my company, in order for me to do anything, I have to use, like, my name badge and access the printer. That way, so, like, they'll know who fucking printed what and, you know, so forth.
Like, I'm allowed to go in and print stuff, but, yeah, if I did, you know, too much. So they're back. Okay, knock it off.
Yeah, Op. Like, very easy. Go fucking print it at FedEx. Just get it done.
[00:59:20] Speaker B: Like, this is kind of like, is this a hill you want to die on situation.
[00:59:24] Speaker A: I'm sure you can send it ahead of time. And they'll fucking bind it all up. And you can just go by and be like, hey, I'm here for my copies. Boom. Pick it up. Good. Out the door. Pay fucking 20 bucks. Done.
And up next, relationship advice. Throw away. My girlfriend, 27, female, is expecting her name to be on the deed to a house that I, 28, male, will be using my money to buy.
I've been with my partner for over three years, and that said, in the next five years, it'd be nice if we had enough to have a deposit for the home. Last month, I inherited a pretty substantial amount of money, which would allow me to buy a house outright.
Very nice. Good job.
I mean, you know, not that you did anything, but, you know, sorry for your loss.
I was talking about this with my partner, and I mentioned to her that I could do this, but since I'd be the one paying the down payment and deposit, I'd be putting my name as a homeowner. I said I don't expect her to pay rent, obviously, only to contribute towards utilities and groceries. She said I was being unfair, and we were planning to buy a house together. I said that if she wants to, I'm happy to wait until we both have money to.
Or that I'm happy to pay the down payment. Then my girlfriend can pay all the mortgage until she matches the down payment.
She said since I have the money now, it makes sense for us to get the house, but it would mean that we're not paying rent anymore. I told her that's fine with me if she chose the option buy sooner, but I'd be the sole homeowner. She again said it was being unfair since it'd be the both of us. Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
How would you handle this?
If she wants to, you know, be in the long haul with you? Get married?
[01:01:32] Speaker B: Yeah.
[01:01:35] Speaker A: Like, is this someone you can see yourself with in 10 years? You said it's your girlfriend.
There's a reason loan offices will not, you know, loan money to, like, boyfriends and girlfriends. Because it can go south in 30 years.
[01:01:49] Speaker B: Yeah.
[01:01:50] Speaker A: Very easily.
[01:01:51] Speaker B: Oh, yeah.
[01:01:51] Speaker A: It turns into a huge fucking nightmare.
[01:01:54] Speaker B: Is my name on our house?
[01:01:56] Speaker A: Yes.
[01:01:56] Speaker B: Cool.
[01:01:58] Speaker A: Both of her names on this.
But yes. Like, either get married and, you know, go in 50 50, or buy the house and, you know, essentially loan her half the money and have this as a written contract, you know, saying, hey, you owe me, you know, X amount of money for the house.
[01:02:32] Speaker B: Yeah. This shit always need contracts, contracts, fucking everything.
[01:02:37] Speaker A: Get lawyers involved. Like, this is a substantial amount of money.
[01:02:40] Speaker B: Yeah.
[01:02:41] Speaker A: And, you know, if she's just like, I want my name on the house and blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
[01:02:48] Speaker B: And I think OP's very smart asking her to be like, okay, well, if you want your name on the house, I expect you to meet, like, this, like, level. Like, I think that's. I think this is a smart way to go about it, to be honest.
[01:02:59] Speaker A: But, yes. I mean, you can, you know, have, you know, your name fully on the house and say, hey, I am willing to put your name on the house as soon as you, you know, have, you know, equal equity into the house, you know, as to what I've paid, you know, and if that's agreeable to her, like, if you don't want to get married, if you're, like, not ready for that stuff yet, you know, cool.
You know, that way, you know, if something does go wrong and you have to sell the house, well, cool. You know, you have, you know, your half the money and everything shakes out well. But if you put her. If you put her name on the house and she ends up breaking up with you, she's gonna take half the house.
[01:03:54] Speaker B: Exactly.
[01:03:55] Speaker A: You know, and you're just kind of fucked at that point.
[01:04:00] Speaker B: Like, it's not nice to doubt your partner, but you have to protect yourself sometimes.
[01:04:05] Speaker A: Trust but verify.
Yeah, first comment. Explain. It wouldn't be fair to you if you guys broke up and then she walked with half your money equity.
And what if you got married? None of this would matter anyway. Since you don't intend to charge her rent, you suggest that she should start saving, paying rent so you know, here's another thing you can do. Buy the house on your own, you know, throw down all your money and, you know, cool. You know, go 5050 on groceries and utilities and then save up money as a unit to go buy a different property that you're both your names can be on, you know, and then you can rent, you know, your house out as, you know, added income.
I mean, there's so many ways to do this.
[01:05:04] Speaker B: Yeah, but don't. She can't just ask to be on the deed of the house when she's put no money towards and they're not married.
[01:05:13] Speaker A: Yeah. I mean, don't commingle funds from an inheritance, you know, ever, unless you're married.
Yeah, everyone's saying the same thing. Don't buy a house with someone until you're married.
Don't do it. You're not married to her. Let her break up with you over this if it bothers her that much.
I mean, you can still afford the house, dude.
[01:05:40] Speaker B: Yeah, that's 100% correct.
[01:05:44] Speaker A: You know, she can, you know, move out.
And guess what? You fucking upped your value as a dude.
So someone said, I'm an attorney and I can't tell you how many messes I've seen with couples that when they do this and break up, it's a very, very, very bad idea for you. Put the house in your sole name. If you get married down the road, it'll likely make sense to put the house in both names or maybe in a trust, but now your name only.
So, yeah, op, you're not an asshole. I kind of see her point.
As long as you're, you know, having a good relationship and, you know, your goal was to, you know, buy a house together.
[01:06:39] Speaker B: Okay. No. If we were dating and you decided to buy a house and only you're the one putting money down, I would never, ever ask to be on that deed. I'd be like, okay, cool, that's your house. I have absolutely no claim on that. A, because I'm broke all the time, and B, it's your fucking money.
Like, it's fucking weird that she asked for it, in my opinion.
[01:06:59] Speaker A: Yeah, but anytime.
[01:07:00] Speaker C: Yeah.
[01:07:01] Speaker B: Like, is she asking for a ring?
[01:07:02] Speaker C: In a roundabout way, it reeks of entitled.
[01:07:06] Speaker B: Yes, it does. It does. Entitlement. Yes.
[01:07:08] Speaker A: Well, I mean, this is written from the dude's perspective only. So, like, we are only seeing one half of this.
[01:07:17] Speaker B: This is true, but.
[01:07:19] Speaker A: And he's not, you know, like, oh, my God, my entitled girlfriend wants to be on the house, and it's like I, you know, you know, if you weren't gonna get that inheritance, you would not have the money to go buy this house. And your goal was to go, you know, Halsey's on a house.
Always get married before you do that.
[01:07:44] Speaker B: Yep.
[01:07:45] Speaker A: Just simple. So that will be it for this episode. We will be back next week.
It is 2025 and episode one of season five.
Jesus, we did it. All right, bye.
