[00:00:01] Speaker A: Alrighty. Alrighty. Welcome back, everybody. This is the Human podcast, and I'm your host, Alex the Truck. And we got. My wife. Not the truck, no Courtney this week.
[00:00:14] Speaker B: She's taking care of her body, doing.
[00:00:16] Speaker A: What she needs to do. Don't matter.
You know, I still got my wife.
My wife.
And so last week, you know, we went to the state fair.
[00:00:33] Speaker B: Ah, I'm old.
[00:00:37] Speaker A: How are you old?
[00:00:38] Speaker B: This massage chair was the best ride at the fair.
[00:00:43] Speaker A: So, like, we're walking around, like, we get there, like, fucking early as hell. And I'm like, I want to get there early.
My wife's like, all right, we'll do it.
And so, like, we get up Sunday, get the fuck down there, I pay for the parking, do all this shit. And we get, like, good parking spot.
[00:01:02] Speaker B: We did get a good parking spot.
[00:01:04] Speaker A: And because I'm like, I'm not fucking taking a bus across town of doing it. So we get a good parking spot, and we go up to, like, the front gate, and it's, like, open, and just like, this grouchy, old, like, single lady, you know, just being.
No one's allowed in here. I'm like, oh, okay.
Like. Like, literally, the thing starts in, like, four minutes.
And see, no one's loud. I'm like, all right. And then, like, some helpful dude in a golf cart is like, hey, who wants to ride up to the front gate where it is open?
I'm like, all right, yeah, see you later, cunt. You know? And, you know, we just go, like, go around. I'm like, I don't know why that was such a fucking problem. But, yeah, they, like, let us ride on in and no issues whatsoever.
And so we're. We're walking around buying things.
My wife is like, oh, crystals. I need to go.
[00:02:07] Speaker B: Look, I got another stone kitty.
[00:02:09] Speaker A: Because I'm white. And I'm like, all right.
And, like, luckily, I had zipper pockets because we did go on a bunch of rides. And there was, like, some points where I'm like, I probably lost a, you know, crystal cat.
[00:02:25] Speaker B: Well, the crystal cat was in my. In my butt pocket.
[00:02:28] Speaker A: No, I had it.
[00:02:30] Speaker B: When did you give it back to.
[00:02:31] Speaker A: Me at the house?
Like, we were laying in bed.
[00:02:36] Speaker B: Okay.
[00:02:39] Speaker A: But so, yeah, we go. And I see this. You know, we go to all the art buildings because, you know, of course, she loves art. There's some good art there.
[00:02:47] Speaker B: There is paintings of cats.
[00:02:50] Speaker A: And then I see this building. It just says shopping. That's it. Nothing else. No frills shopping.
And I point up the shopping building. I'M like, let's go in there. My wife's like, you're gonna get ripped off in there.
Like, I.
[00:03:04] Speaker B: No, I said you were going to get conned again and have a salesperson show up at our house.
[00:03:11] Speaker A: I mean, it gave good stories, didn't it?
[00:03:15] Speaker B: Oh, my God.
[00:03:17] Speaker A: So like the first, like, I go to all the, the gun shows, you know, I'm one of them gun nuts and it's fine and like, sometimes, but like, I also go to, like, home shows too. I'm a homeowner. So, like, when we first got this house, we went to like a home and garden show.
[00:03:38] Speaker B: Oh my God, that, that was so much fun.
[00:03:40] Speaker A: And, you know, it had like, you know, upgrades to your house and people like, you know, oh, you could win, you know, this, you know, whole thing. You can win this whole, you know, set of like, medical supplies.
And so like, I, I'm like, all right, fuck it. And I threw in my number because, like, had like a good, you know, medical kit there.
You know, here's the grift. Everyone wins.
You know, like, they have you put it in like a basket. Like they're going to turn it. Nope, they call everybody, everyone wins a, you know, free basket or, you know, free thing of medical supplies. And I'm like, oh yeah, Hell yeah. Come on over to my house, show up. And then they show up and it's a sales pitch to buy their smoke detectors and their leak detectors and. And their whole fucking home security system. Like, you know, you don't want yourself to burn to death, do you? I'm like, dude, that'd be awesome.
Especially in the winter. Holy fuck. Like after your nerves burn and like, just annoying the shit out of it. And they realized really quickly they were.
[00:04:45] Speaker B: Here for like an hour and a half. They were here for so long.
[00:04:49] Speaker A: So. But you know that like, they wanted to sell.
Like, fuck, we have to sell.
[00:04:55] Speaker B: At least it didn't dump dirt on the carpet.
[00:04:59] Speaker A: Those are actually pretty fun because, like, they, you know, super clean one area.
[00:05:05] Speaker B: To make you feel bad about the rest of your house.
[00:05:07] Speaker A: Uh huh. So you have to buy their fucking vacuum.
And I'll be like, hey, clean that little one spot right there. Like, just like call them in for like, if you stain the carpet. Like, hey, can you clean this area here? I want to see if you're. Your vacuum is really that good. I'm like, all right, cool. Thank you for cleaning that one area. Fuck off. Now you just call like the fucking, you know, Rainbow or Kirby or whoever the fuck, you know, has like those super cool vacuums, call them into your house, they'll clean that one little spot and be like, can your vacuum do this? Because they're like, oh, my vacuum can do that.
And they'll, you know, prove it. And then you're like, all right, fuck off. I don't need anything else. I just need that one little spot cleaned with the, you know, $10,000 vacuum cleaner or whatever the fuck it is.
So. But yeah, we're going through and, like, we see, like, this ride that's just like.
It's pickup trucks going in a circle.
[00:06:03] Speaker B: Oh, I already forgot about the trucks. That was okay. I.
I was really scared when we drove downhill. It was such a deep angle when.
[00:06:12] Speaker A: We were driving uphill. I'm like, I can't see dick of what you're driving. Like, how do you see anything?
I'm like, you were.
[00:06:20] Speaker B: That's a good point.
[00:06:22] Speaker A: I'm like, I was just hoping to be in the truck while they go off the edge and like, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck. I'm like, seems like you're just gonna give me a free truck right now.
Seems like I'm the winner. Like, they had this Griff. Like, you could win a truck. You're not going to win a truck.
[00:06:41] Speaker B: And if you do, the taxes will be stupid.
[00:06:44] Speaker A: Yeah, it'll be, you know, a few thousand dollars in taxes. But, you know, so we do that, and then, like, I see this building shopping, like, right next to him. Like, we're going in there.
We walk in, you know, candy stall. Like, immediately my wife's like, all right, I'm in.
We go walking around, and my wife sees these beds, you know, like, these, you know, like, nice, you know, cooling beds and all.
[00:07:15] Speaker B: Really nice mattresses.
[00:07:17] Speaker A: And I'm like, all right, it's a fucking bed. Whatever.
You know, knowing in my head that I've already looked at some of these other fucking beds, I, like, been looking online because our mattress is getting ready as fuck. It's 10 years old. Yep. I'm like, yeah, we need a new fucking bed. So I've already. I've already been in the market for it.
So it's not like, oh, yeah, this is something. I don't need it.
Like, our beds are cat scratched.
[00:07:45] Speaker B: Yes.
[00:07:45] Speaker A: To say the least.
And so my wife gets on this bed, and it's like one of those ones that, like, have, like, little adjustable base.
[00:07:52] Speaker B: Oh, it's so nice.
[00:07:54] Speaker A: And I'm like, yeah. I'm like, those are pretty cool. You know, I like that idea.
[00:07:59] Speaker B: And it raises the Feet and the back.
[00:08:02] Speaker A: And so, like, my wife gets on. And, like, the dude's like, get on the bed. I'm like, I've been on a bed, you know, Like, I understand what a bed is. Like, yeah, that's cool. I'm like, you're not trying to sell me the bed. You already sold me the bed.
You know, you're trying to sell her the bed. Try and sell the woman the bed. That way the man pays.
[00:08:20] Speaker B: Yep.
[00:08:22] Speaker A: And so I'm like, all right, fine. I'll fucking bite. How much is this fucking bed?
And he's like, $5,000. I'm like, Nope.
And he's like, but it's a show special, so we'll give you 50% off. I'm like, he's like, $2,000, dude.
Like, all right, fine. I'll fucking, you know, buy your stupid mattress for $2,000.
Because, like, the first one I got was, like, just one of the those ones that, like, came rolled up in, like, compression. Like. Like, plastic. Like, it was a plastic bag.
[00:08:59] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:09:01] Speaker A: And, like, that was fun, like, you know, initially, but I'm like, yeah, you know, like, will you fucking get rid of my old mattress?
He's like, yeah, we can, you know, throw that. I'm like, like, throw this and throw that in. Throw this into.
And then they threw in a bunch of shit. And I'm like, okay, yeah, I'm fine. You got yourself a Dale.
[00:09:23] Speaker B: It's a nice bed. I really like it.
[00:09:26] Speaker A: And so, yeah, now sometime next weekish, we should have a new bed with.
[00:09:33] Speaker B: A frame that raises.
I'm so excited. I'm super excited.
[00:09:42] Speaker A: So, yeah, now we have to, like, go clean, like, our room, though.
[00:09:46] Speaker B: Okay. I've cleaned my half of the room.
[00:09:47] Speaker A: Yeah. I just have to clean my half of the room.
[00:09:49] Speaker B: Ta da.
[00:09:51] Speaker A: Pretty much all I have to do is, like, you know, pick up the mattress, take the sheets off of it, you know, go wash them, and then, you know, kind of like, I think Thursday is gonna be the day that we're gonna get the new mattress.
[00:10:03] Speaker B: Okay.
Oh, my God, I'm so excited.
[00:10:06] Speaker A: I mean, like, tomorrow they should. Tomorrow or Monday or Tuesday, they should be calling me.
If they don't call me by Tuesday, people are gonna get fucking phone calls.
[00:10:18] Speaker B: Well, duh.
[00:10:21] Speaker A: Who keeps on fucking messaging me? Like, I hate when you, like, you don't have your phone near you, and then, like, everyone is messaging you, and it's like, God damn it.
Let's see.
Oh, it's Courtney.
Oh, hell, yes.
I totally forget that I, like, have A subscription to my energy drinks and they just send it to me and I'm, I'm like, I forget.
But yeah, so now we, we fucking got a bed at a Colorado State fair. That's like one of the few things I got.
[00:11:06] Speaker B: A nice bed.
[00:11:09] Speaker A: And then we went on all the fucking rides, as many as I could handle. And I realized, you know, what adults have to go through now that they're older. Like, when I was a kid, I could do these rides like it was nothing, nobody's business. Upside down, inside out, it didn't matter. I'm like, fucking, yeah, let's go.
[00:11:32] Speaker B: Go.
[00:11:33] Speaker A: Like, I, I saw this ride called the Zeus that you could see from like three miles away. It goes up like a mile in the sky. My wife's like, I'm not doing that shit at all.
[00:11:42] Speaker B: That.
[00:11:43] Speaker A: But I'm like, oh, hell yeah. I want to do that thing after, like, you know, the fifth ride, I'm like, oh, I don't think I'm gonna do that Zeus thing.
[00:11:54] Speaker B: Nah, fuck that shit.
[00:11:55] Speaker A: I'm like looking at like, oh, God.
[00:11:58] Speaker B: I wouldn't have gone on there with you.
[00:11:59] Speaker A: I know, but you actually wanted to go on it. Initially, yeah. Initially I was excited. Initially I'm like, hell yeah, I can handle my things.
But I'm like, you know, there's two options for any fucking amusement park ride, you know, either A, you're going to have a good time or B, you're going to fucking die.
You know, both are good times, actually.
You know, it's like either it's gonna fall the apart and you know, it's gonna throw your carriage and then chop your head off, or you're just gonna, like while being worried that it's gonna kill you.
It's like, I, I, I, I imagine like, mothers that go on these rides with their kids are like, poor things.
[00:12:54] Speaker B: Ah.
[00:12:57] Speaker A: You know, they're like, my kid's gonna die and I'm gonna die, but my kid's gonna die. Oh, no, that's awful.
[00:13:06] Speaker B: Like, the rides were just uncomfortable too.
[00:13:09] Speaker A: Yeah, a bunch of the rides were like falling the apart too.
[00:13:14] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:13:16] Speaker A: Like, I got in one and like rivets were popped out. I'm like, okay, this is not safe.
And like they, like, since there was no one there, the rides went on a little too long.
[00:13:28] Speaker B: Yes, yes.
[00:13:30] Speaker A: Like, like they did every.
[00:13:31] Speaker B: I didn't know was possible, but yes.
[00:13:34] Speaker A: Like, that's not just in my head. Right. Like the rides like were like double rides.
[00:13:40] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:13:41] Speaker A: Because like, they had to like, literally wait for people to show up just to start the fucking thing. Like, they, like, move people around. Like, I guess it's balanced enough.
And there is only one guy I felt really bad for. It's that fucking, you know, the alien ship. The alien ship. Like, the. You know, it's pretty much like, just a drum that spins around centrifuge and. Yeah, pretty much.
And it was like, 110 in that fucking ride.
[00:14:10] Speaker B: It was so hot.
[00:14:11] Speaker A: It was the most miserable. I thought about just going outside and be like, fucking, let me know when you're ready.
[00:14:18] Speaker B: You literally started fanning me with your shirt at one point. I was so uncomfortable.
[00:14:23] Speaker A: And, yeah, that entire fucking thing just sucked. And, like, we just had to wait for, like, a bunch of fucking people to show up. And it didn't even fill up. They're, like, good enough. And they started it.
Like, not a single ride there was ever filled. There was no lines for anything, which.
[00:14:39] Speaker B: Was nice, but it came with caveats.
[00:14:43] Speaker A: Yeah, it came with fucking, you know, sitting there waiting. And then, like, there was, like, one ride that my wife wanted to go on, and, like, the dude was, like, flirting with, like, some chick, and I'm like, hey, you know, can we get on this ride? He's like, like, couldn't speak any English.
And I'm like, get a supervisor over here. Like, what the fuck is going on?
I'm like, is this right done for the day?
Like, like, mumbled at me. I'm like, you know, you, like, speak in Spanish to me, you know? See? No, you know, like, don't mumble at me. I hate that shit, you know? It's like, I understand that you're Spanish. We are in pueblo.
Like, 90% of everyone here is Spanish. That's 5. Fine. I can understand Spanish enough to get through, you know? But he, like, had the entrance open and was just over there flirting, like, trying to get some chick's number and, like, not paying attention to anything.
And I'm like. He's like, like, is this done? He's like, I'm like, like, like, are you done for the day on this ride? Is it broken? He's like, yeah. I'm like, all right, cool. We, like, go away. And, like, 10 minutes later, the ride's up and running. I'm like, I want to go over there and just punch that guy in the mouth.
[00:16:11] Speaker B: The ride would have been boring anyway.
[00:16:14] Speaker A: Still, it's a principle of the thing. He could have been, like, oh, 10 minutes.
You know, this ride's taking a break for 10 minutes.
Something overheated or. Yeah, just, like, Something dumb, you know. But all in all, had a good time. My wife got dehydrated towards the end.
[00:16:37] Speaker B: Yeah, I forgot I have a weaker stomach right now.
[00:16:42] Speaker A: And so I got her a big ass bucket of lemonade that was delicious lemonade.
And they're like, hey, you can get, you know, this, you know, thing of lemonade for too much money. Or this thing of lemonade for even more too much money.
I might give me the thing that's just too much money.
Like, how much do you think that bucket of lemonade cost me?
[00:17:06] Speaker B: 35.
How much?
[00:17:11] Speaker A: $15.
[00:17:12] Speaker B: Oh my God.
[00:17:15] Speaker A: I could have gotten like 10 gallons of lemonade.
[00:17:18] Speaker B: Yeah, you could have at a store.
[00:17:19] Speaker A: For $15, but nah, just whatever.
[00:17:24] Speaker B: And I had the funny straw.
[00:17:27] Speaker A: Yeah. And then it's like, we can take it. You know, we. We took it home. Obviously we still have it and you know, we can use it for whatever now.
Use it for like little sangrias.
Yeah, like, use it for like a. Like get. Like. Do they have like little bottles of like, wine?
[00:17:44] Speaker B: Yes.
[00:17:47] Speaker A: That's crazy.
[00:17:48] Speaker B: You mean like little 8, 8 ounce ones?
[00:17:51] Speaker A: Yeah, it's like like little, Little mini bottles.
[00:17:52] Speaker B: Yeah, of course.
[00:17:54] Speaker A: I don't know. I don't drink wine.
[00:17:55] Speaker B: There's wine and there's champagne.
[00:17:58] Speaker A: Yeah, like I. I know that there's like, you know, shooters. Like, we don't have like little beers. Like, you know, 12 ounce cans are little beers.
[00:18:07] Speaker B: I mean, I have a four pack of the Sutter 8 fluid ounces ones because I use them sometimes when I'm cooking.
[00:18:14] Speaker A: Huh. Okay.
[00:18:14] Speaker B: Like, I just use it as a cooking wine.
[00:18:16] Speaker A: Yeah, I don't drink wine.
I drink things that are problems.
But. Yeah. So now, now we have a bed.
And that's the most money I've ever fucking spent at a goddamn state fair.
So I hope you're happy.
[00:18:38] Speaker B: I had so much fun. Quite honestly, I really did.
[00:18:41] Speaker A: Oh, yeah. And then I bought her like shoe inserts too.
[00:18:44] Speaker B: Oh. It's like walking on a water bed. My feet are so happy.
[00:18:50] Speaker A: So let's talk a little bit about Burning Man. Like, Burning man is like, been like one of the things I've wanted to do for a while. Yeah, like, I've heard about it. I'm like, oh, man, that seems so much fun.
And now there's too many people doing Burning man and it's kind of ruined it.
[00:19:11] Speaker B: Yeah, it has.
[00:19:13] Speaker A: It's like if it wasn't like such a, you know, if there was like a thousand people out in the desert, that'd be dope.
Like that that's what you need. Just like a thousand people, you know, everyone comes together and it, like, works like a potluck.
Everyone brings, you know, something different.
And, you know, other people can come and enjoy and just, you know, camp out in the desert. Hell yeah.
But nope, it's become this corporatized fucking, you know, techno gig. And it's been ruined. But for the last two years of Burning man, they've gotten rained out every fucking time.
[00:19:57] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:19:59] Speaker A: And so, like, they'll go out there and they'll be like, yeah, they shut down the gate because it's fucking raining too hard right now.
And I just imagine myself in the vehicle, waiting in line, losing my mind, you know, in the car, like, where the fuck is happening?
Why can't they let us the fuck in?
And I'm just glad that I haven't gone.
But I like there. Sh. Honestly. Let's see if there's any festivals.
Festivals like Burning Man.
Oh, holy. There's so many.
There's Tomorrowland, Cy Trans Festival.
A full day trek to get to the campsites. Hell no.
Eat my whole ass.
Jesus Christ.
Is there a festival that feels like Burning Man 25 years ago?
Joshua Tree Music Festival.
[00:21:18] Speaker B: Oh, I like that.
[00:21:27] Speaker A: Oh, yeah.
See, seems like. Yeah, it's October 9th through the 12th. Yeah. Something small.
Not eight goddamn days.
And I don't notice. I don't know any of these bands.
I don't even know if these are bands, honestly. These could just be people speaking at it.
I might have to go check this out later. The Joshua Tree Fest Music Festival. They should be all bands. That looks cool.
Can I blame my age for not knowing a single name on this lineup? I'm 40.
I don't think it's your age. I don't know any of these artists. I think they're more local.
[00:22:14] Speaker B: Oh, that makes sense.
[00:22:20] Speaker A: Oh, thank God someone put a link. I love it when people got input links. How much are the. The tickets, though? Let's see.
Four day passes.
Yeah. All weekend. 300 bucks all in. Hell yeah.
And then if you get it early, it's 257.
Includes all fees and then vehicle passes.
Oh, yeah, you have to fucking pay if you have an rv.
But if you just have, like, a car, it's only 40 bucks.
Yeah. RV sites with power and cozy campers and, you know. Oh, yeah, there's hookups, everything.
Hell, yeah. I might do this.
[00:23:16] Speaker B: All right.
[00:23:17] Speaker A: Oh, it's in California.
[00:23:20] Speaker B: Where did you think it would be?
[00:23:21] Speaker A: I don't know where Joshua Tree is.
[00:23:24] Speaker B: It's California. And Arizona.
[00:23:31] Speaker A: Let's see how, how far into California it is.
Okay, so it's a fuck out there.
Oh my God. Oh, there's a national park called Joshua Tree National Park.
[00:23:45] Speaker B: Yes.
[00:23:45] Speaker A: Christ.
Oh shit. It's over by fucking Courtney.
[00:23:50] Speaker B: Oh, it is? Yeah, it is.
[00:23:53] Speaker A: Yeah. Cuz here's Palm Springs and then, you know, she's further down here, but Yeah, I mean, let's see how far away. Yeah, she's an hour and 20 minutes away from it by car.
[00:24:29] Speaker B: And she could like come by like two, like.
[00:24:32] Speaker A: Yeah, I mean she can buy like a single day pass.
[00:24:34] Speaker B: Yeah.
Is there an orgy tent?
[00:24:39] Speaker A: No, there's not an orgy tent.
I doubt it.
But there was an orgy tent at Burning man that blew the fuck away.
[00:24:50] Speaker B: No.
[00:24:52] Speaker A: Burning man orgy dome completely destroyed by winds.
[00:24:57] Speaker B: Oh no.
[00:25:00] Speaker A: Nevada's infamous Burning Man's has notified that their orgy dome was destroyed by a dust storm that hit the Black Rock city Saturday evening.
So yeah, like there was like videos of it and you know, people like trying to survive through it and like, you know, sitting on couches and just. Yeah. Just completely destroyed the entire fucking thing.
[00:25:23] Speaker B: Oh no.
[00:25:24] Speaker A: And so someone came out and made.
Let's see if like.
Yeah, they made the orgy tarp.
They just have a sign next to a tarp. The orgy tarp.
[00:25:46] Speaker B: That's amazing.
[00:25:48] Speaker A: Improvise, adapt, overcome.
[00:25:50] Speaker B: Yes.
[00:25:55] Speaker A: But yeah, not like I, I might be down to, you know, take a, a trip out to, you know, Joshua Tree to like a music festival.
[00:26:05] Speaker B: Yes.
[00:26:07] Speaker A: You know, get like a small rv, put it on the back of my truck and then take the on out there.
And it's only a couple days too, so we can probably just sleep in the back of my truck, honestly.
[00:26:21] Speaker B: Yeah, we could.
Yeah, I'm not opposed to that idea at all.
[00:26:27] Speaker A: Just, you know, put shit on top of the truck and I mean, the back of the truck is actually pretty goddamn spacious. Yeah, it's an suv. It's a big ass suv.
[00:26:39] Speaker B: No, it's a nice truck.
[00:26:42] Speaker A: Yeah. And just get it all up and ready. But we'll cross that bridge when it comes. It's definitely not going to be this year.
[00:26:48] Speaker B: Oh God, no.
[00:26:49] Speaker A: You know, but you know, maybe in a couple years.
But let's get into some stories now. Now that we've gone down that, you know, crazy loophole, RFK Jr claims that he can tell if children are unhealthy just by looking.
[00:27:08] Speaker B: What the is that?
[00:27:09] Speaker A: He is the Secretary of Health.
That sounds like the unhealthiest man you have ever Heard like, let me see if I can RFK junior Talking.
He is hilarious.
Where there was discussion about legislation to try to, for example, get rid of additives to food on a state level.
You've told me earlier, earlier today that in places he blinks too much, they simply don't have these kind of additives. So I would love if you would share if there is a plan to sort of get it from the top down to speak to the food companies and say now this is the guy that's in charge of like all the health shit.
[00:27:54] Speaker B: Okay.
[00:27:56] Speaker A: Yeah. How can we get it out of the food so that we don't have to go state by state by state and get it out through legislation?
[00:28:01] Speaker C: I mean, you know, one of the first groups I met with when I came in, when I was.
After I was sworn in was the big food companies, all of the major food processors and producers in this country had that go. And it.
[00:28:17] Speaker A: But the unhealthiest sounding man ever, you know, and he, he is, you know, make America healthy again.
And you know, he has like weird ears too.
He's like weird like little elf ears that come out.
Look at those.
[00:28:39] Speaker B: They're not pointed though.
They're kind of more like hobbit ears.
[00:28:43] Speaker A: Don't matter.
Yeah, he has weird ears.
[00:28:49] Speaker B: They're just different.
[00:28:50] Speaker A: Yeah, he's a U.S. health and Human Services Secretary.
Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
But yeah, I mean, like I can look at people's kids too and tell if your kids are unhealthy. Like just being honest.
If your fucking little Augustus Gloop is sitting there fucking, you know, drinking, you know, chocolate from the river. Yeah, that little. Is unhealthy as hell.
[00:29:15] Speaker B: Chocolate river.
[00:29:16] Speaker A: So like you know Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, like it's a great movie about like a psycho that runs a. A candy factory.
[00:29:26] Speaker B: Okay. So I like all the imagery, but I actually don't like the movie plot at all. Like it's still a really creepy movie to me.
[00:29:32] Speaker A: He's a. Like he. Willy Wonka's a psycho.
[00:29:37] Speaker B: Yeah, I know. And so I'm creeped out by him. I just like the imagery. That's kind of it.
[00:29:44] Speaker A: You know, it's like no one is trying to cancel Gene Wilder for like having slaves in the movie. That's what those were. Slaves. Can you go home? No, you don't have a home. You live here at the factory.
[00:29:56] Speaker B: Well, yeah, cuz he's.
[00:29:57] Speaker A: Do you get paid? You get paid in candy.
You get paid in the shit that you make.
So. But yeah, like I. Anytime I look at your kid and your kid's sneezing or coughing or, you know, just.
Yeah, most kids are unhealthy nowadays.
[00:30:19] Speaker B: Fortunately, that's true.
[00:30:23] Speaker A: He recently claimed that he can spot children with mitochondrial issues or developmental problems by simply appearing their appearance and behavior. No tests, no lab reports, just as eagle eye.
Okay, now that's some bullshit. Okay. Like, sometimes my party can be dumb.
Like, I can admit that.
But let's see what he says.
[00:30:50] Speaker C: And I know what a healthy child is supposed to look like.
I'm looking at kids as I walk through the air.
[00:30:57] Speaker A: Full pause. Don't be looking at kids, you idiot.
[00:31:01] Speaker C: Today, as I walk down the street and I see these kids that are just overburdened with weights. Mitochondrial challenges with inflammation. You can tell they're from their faces, from their body movements, and from their lack of social connection.
And I know that that's not how our children are supposed to look.
[00:31:27] Speaker A: Well, what are the children supposed to look like?
[00:31:30] Speaker B: Kids climbing trees.
[00:31:34] Speaker A: I mean, it's not wrong, you know, having, you know, kids. You know, like, dude, back in, like, the Great Depression. Yeah. Kids were different.
[00:31:44] Speaker B: Okay. Is talking about, like, inflammation, and that does. That causes a host of problems and all kinds of different things.
Like, inflammation is not.
At the end of the day, a lot of times it's not good.
[00:31:58] Speaker A: But, yeah, he. I'm sure he's gonna go on to fucking autism and, you know, be like, this is what causes the autism. And I'm like, oh, God.
[00:32:06] Speaker B: As long as he's not blaming vaccines. I'm taking that as. I will take that as a step forward in society.
[00:32:11] Speaker A: Me, I am fully on board with vaccines. I think they're great. It's like, hey, we're going to infect you with the disease. That way you have a way to fight off the disease. It's a weaker version of it, but that way you have antibodies. It's solid science, in my opinion. It works with dude math in my head.
[00:32:32] Speaker B: Well, if it didn't work, we'd be at. We. We would be at risk for a lot more vaccine diseases.
[00:32:39] Speaker A: Like, one of the things I've seen recently, it was a commercial for, like, a nasal spray for your flu shot.
[00:32:50] Speaker B: Yeah. So absorbs across your mucous membranes.
[00:32:53] Speaker A: So instead of getting, like, your flu shot, it's just a. And you can take it at home. You go, poop. Pop it up your nose, you're good to go.
[00:33:00] Speaker B: We did. We have the same. We have little nasal vaccines for cats, too.
[00:33:04] Speaker A: Yeah. Have that for humans. Like, I would do it all the Fucking time at every year, you know, just pop into my nose. Hell yeah, we're good. You know, measles, mumps, fucking malaria. Boom, boom, boom. I don't know what half those things are, but I don't. Measles and mumps. No idea what that is.
Malaria. It's a fucking disease from, like, mosquitoes or something.
[00:33:31] Speaker B: It's passed through mosquitoes.
They're a carrier or a vector, if you will.
[00:33:39] Speaker A: Oh, I thought they, like, created the disease or something.
[00:33:42] Speaker B: No, they just carry it.
[00:33:44] Speaker A: Where do they get it from?
[00:33:46] Speaker B: I don't know.
[00:33:47] Speaker A: Can. Can insects get diseases?
[00:33:50] Speaker B: Of course insects get diseases.
Everybody gets diseases.
[00:33:53] Speaker A: So if, like, a mosquito, like, sucks up, malaria does like, it go crazy?
[00:33:57] Speaker B: I have no idea.
[00:34:00] Speaker A: Now I have to know.
[00:34:01] Speaker B: I could be wrong.
[00:34:03] Speaker A: Can mosquitoes get malaria?
Yes. Certain species of mosquitoes can carry and transmit the malaria. It's a parasite.
[00:34:18] Speaker B: Oh, I didn't even know that. So I'm. Oh, that makes so much more. Wait, what?
Huh?
[00:34:27] Speaker A: Specifically the word genus of mosquitoes is responsible for transmitting malaria. When an infected person is bitten by the, you know, crazy word mosquito, the parasite enters the mosquito's body. The parasite then multiplies within the mosquito and is eventually passed to the next person the mosquito bites, infecting the most malaria.
I'm not.
[00:34:53] Speaker B: So it doesn't say the mosquitoes themselves get sick.
[00:35:00] Speaker A: I don't. I. I think they're too small to get sick by it.
I think it. It just, like, kind of festers in their body.
Can mosquitoes get sick with malaria?
Yes, mosquitoes can get sick from malaria parasite, but they have a strong immune response and can fight off the parasite and prevent infection.
[00:35:26] Speaker B: Oh.
[00:35:32] Speaker A: So yeah, the mosquitoes can get malaria.
[00:35:34] Speaker B: That's very interesting.
[00:35:37] Speaker A: See, that's why I do these little rabbit holes, because you. You might learn something from the podcast or you might not. You know, I'm dummy, you know, online.
So, yeah, I mean, get. Get your vaccines. Believe in some science. It's fine now. Now we got a bunch of Florida stories. Because I. I goddamn love Florida stories.
Let me scroll those down.
So, Florida story, Florida school introducing armed drones that respond to shootings within seconds.
Yeah.
[00:36:23] Speaker B: Who controls the drones?
[00:36:25] Speaker A: I hope AI does.
In another sign of society moving ever closer to a Hot Punk 2020 77, like dystopia schools in Florida are testing armed drones as a defense against school shooting incidents. The drone armed with probably tasers and like that.
Maybe some guns, maybe an explosive. That'd be cool.
Maybe. Maybe they have malaria. Just have a little stinger.
Malaria Now.
So the drones sit and wait on charging pads at the school's campus and can confront an armed shooter within 15 seconds.
Three Florida school districts are trializing the weapon system drone after it is approved by Governor Ron DeSantis.
The drones provide constant live video feed to first responders. They cruise at 30 to 50 miles an hour inside buildings and can reach.
[00:37:36] Speaker B: A hundred to fifty miles per hour inside a building.
[00:37:40] Speaker A: Yeah. And can reach 100 miles an hour outdoors, allowing them to cross a large campus in eight seconds.
The company is called Campus Guardian Angel. The drones are mowing on their charging pads and secure multiple boxes, each containing six drones, at the school's location until a shooting incident is detected. They are flown remote remotely by operators at the firm's Austin's headquarters.
The drones primarily are primarily there to aid law enforcement by clearing corners and rooms like a police dog. The live feed also helps confirm a shooter's identity and location, aiding with situational awareness and threat assessment.
According to Newsweek, the awesome team running the drones includes a pilot tactical specialist who coordinate movements and decide when to engage, and liaisons who relay real time information to law enforcement.
While the drones are armed, they use non lethal or less lethal weaponry, allowing them to distract, disorient, confront and disengage and incapacitate shooters.
They carry pepper rounds and a glass breaker for quickly entering classrooms.
[00:38:59] Speaker B: What are pepper rounds?
[00:39:01] Speaker A: They're like little balls.
[00:39:02] Speaker B: Like peppercorns?
[00:39:03] Speaker A: No, they're like little balls like, you know, they hit. Okay, they're less than lethal. You can go buy them at the store. Well, not like any, like at the gun store, but. Yeah, so it's like just less than lethal.
So it's not a gun, but there's like little, like paintballs, but, you know, tear gas.
[00:39:27] Speaker B: Huh.
[00:39:33] Speaker A: So despite not carrying any lethal power and having having 30 to 90 of these drones in schools has raised concern beyond any potential technical issues, there's always the possibility they can make a shooting situation even worse or more complicated.
There are question marks over the training kind of training the operators receive, too.
There's the storage safety aspect, as well as the potential of a drone collating with a student or law enforcement officer as it zooms through corridors at 50 miles an hour.
[00:40:05] Speaker B: Yep.
[00:40:07] Speaker A: We'll find out how successful the system is soon enough. Campus Guardian Angels aims to install these drones in the schools permanently in September and October ahead of a fully operational live service starting in January.
Yeah, I mean, you know, just like put a, put a gun on top of a drone. Just pop, pop, pop, pop, you know.
[00:40:33] Speaker B: Well, my biggest Thing is, well, what if someone hacks the drones and then they're using the drones to shoot the children?
[00:40:39] Speaker A: Well, that's why it's less than lethal.
You know, they'll cry after getting shot by pepper balls.
[00:40:47] Speaker B: Oh, my God.
[00:40:49] Speaker A: They're gonna cry anyway.
[00:40:51] Speaker B: Oh, my God.
[00:40:56] Speaker A: But yeah, I mean, like, this could be a good thing, you know, to have like, a drone that, you know, is able to, like, you know, shoot out, like, barbs, like, you know, like a taser barb. And you know, you know, as they're like, just walking down the halls, you know, it's like, boom. You know, threat assessed. Drone goes in. Who's that? You know, threat assessed, Boom. Hit him with the taser.
And before they even get into a classroom, you know, cops are three minutes out, they're getting tased and like, you know, 90 drones keep on tasing them. He's like, oh, I'm gonna get away.
You know, just like another taser.
So, I mean, like, anything to, you know, stop school shootings, I. I'm down with.
But here, here's a hero. A Florida man wearing Batman pajamas thwarts of burglary. Detained suspect before the police even arrive.
[00:42:01] Speaker B: Yes, I'm here for this.
[00:42:04] Speaker A: A man in Florida, you know, proved that not all heroes wear capes. After he th a burglary, thanks to quick thinking in his Batman pajamas, another burglary suspect was put behind bars. Approximately 2:03am on Wednesday.
Police responded to a burglary in process at a home in Southeast Cape Corral. But when they arrived on scene, they found the suspect had already been detained by Kyle Mervett. Myvet.
Myvette.
I'm gonna say my vet, Kyle. My vet who is dressed in Batman onesie. It's a Batman onesie.
I want it now.
[00:42:48] Speaker B: That's so much better.
[00:42:50] Speaker A: Dude, like, this guy should have like his own link to get kickbacks from selling the Batman. Yes, like I would buy from his link.
[00:43:00] Speaker B: Imagine you're a cop and you show up and you think you're about to take someone down, and then there's just a dude in a Batman suit just sitting on him.
[00:43:09] Speaker A: I mean, that, that'd be pretty fun.
Yeah, I. I like it, though.
[00:43:13] Speaker B: Oh, my God. Have you seen the picture where like a cops, like clearly taking someone down and that individual, he's laying on the grass and he's got his. He's got. He's handcuffed and there's just a cat laying on him.
[00:43:26] Speaker A: That's hilarious. Yeah, I've seen that one.
But my vet told the detectives, he'd gone home, got gone to bed with his security assistant. Security cameras alerted to someone breaking into his vehicle.
So my vet, still sporting the pajamas, went outside to investigate and he saw the suspect rummaging through his truck. Moments later, my vet found the same suspect in the neighbor's garage and detained him until officers arrived.
Police identified the suspect as 20 year old Justin Shrimp Shrimple. I'm just gonna call him Shrimple Shrimp Dick. You know, Justin Shrimp Dick. He allegedly broke into my vet's vehicle along with his neighbors and stole Multiple items, including two pairs of Ray Ban sunglasses worth 300 Ray Bans. Used to be gas station sunglasses. I don't know what the we're doing counting them as 300 glasses.
[00:44:22] Speaker B: Who the pays 300 for sunglasses?
[00:44:27] Speaker A: Women all the time.
Yep. Just. Fuck. God damn it. Why is it a guy that looks like me?
[00:44:33] Speaker B: He does kind of look like you.
[00:44:34] Speaker A: God damn it. He fucking looks just like me.
[00:44:36] Speaker B: Only his beard's much better.
[00:44:37] Speaker A: Shut the fuck up.
[00:44:39] Speaker B: Next story, next story.
[00:44:44] Speaker A: Man in Florida is accused of aiming sprinklers at students with disabilities waiting for a bus.
[00:44:53] Speaker B: Oh, my God.
[00:44:54] Speaker A: This guy is evil and hilarious.

[00:45:01] Speaker A: Yeah. A 61 year old man admitted repeatedly spraying a family with the sprinklers because he's angry about the location of the bus stop.
[00:45:09] Speaker B: Definitely the way to deal with that.

But yeah, he was charged with four counts of stalking, two counts of battery, and two counts of battery of a disabled person.
He is alleged to use his home security camera to turn on his sprinklers and intentionally spray his neighbors as they waited for a school bus.
[00:46:19] Speaker B: I thought he was out there with a hose.
Nope.
[00:46:23] Speaker A: Now if they were in like a motorized chair, that's up, you know? Of course. Yeah, but like, if they just have like cerebral palsy kind of funny.
Kind of funny, like, you know, like, it's not gonna, like damage them.
Let's see. What is Prater's Willie syndrome.
Now to find out what the fuck this. That. That way I can Know if I'm like, an asshole. A rare genetic disorder, so.
Characterized by a range of physical, intellectual, and behavioral symptoms.
Do mild to moderate intellectual disability yet. So no, you're fine.
Constant feeling of hunger, bone weakness.
So yeah, let's images, please, now. They look fine.
[00:47:31] Speaker B: Oh, my God. It doesn't matter.
[00:47:40] Speaker A: But yeah, I mean, you, you shouldn't be spraying, you know, kids with sprinklers.

[00:48:14] Speaker A: Roman is accused of spraying the family for more than a year.
The family told authorities that their students have been sprayed 400 times.
[00:48:24] Speaker B: Oh, my God.
[00:48:26] Speaker A: I mean, fool me once, but fool me 400 times, that's on you. At this point, that is on you.
[00:48:37] Speaker B: So is he just mad that the bus stops in front of his house?
[00:48:40] Speaker A: That's it.
[00:48:41] Speaker B: He can contact somebody about that?
[00:48:43] Speaker A: We tried.
The family told police that Roman tried to have the bus stop moved by both the school district and a homeowners associated association and began retaliating when those efforts failed.
[00:48:57] Speaker B: Oh, my God. So this has turned into a fucking tit for tat.
[00:49:01] Speaker A: Yeah, yeah. Petty bullshit thing. It's hilarious. Oh, my God, this is hilarious.

So, yeah, I'm sure, you know, he's gonna get, like, a fucking fine or something. And, like, don't do that no more.
But you got sprayed 400 times.
[00:49:45] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:49:46] Speaker A: @ some point you just gotta, like, realize, like, let's go the long way around or pick up your kids from school or just put some WD40. WD stands for water displacement.
You know, it's, it's not meant to be Like a lubricant, it's just to displace water.
Works well as a lubricant though.
But yeah, let's do the. The last story. Let's see how much more time we got.
10 minutes. Oh, and it's almost feeding time for the kitties. Worked out good.
[00:50:26] Speaker B: That's why Goose keeps coming by.
[00:50:29] Speaker A: Florida man in Lee County, Sean Muse, was bitten by a lemon shark.
[00:50:35] Speaker B: Oh, come on.
[00:50:36] Speaker A: Don't know what a lemon shark is.
[00:50:38] Speaker B: They're good puppies.
[00:50:41] Speaker A: So he was posing with the. The shark. Like I. I pulled up photos of him, you know, posing with the shark.
[00:50:49] Speaker B: What an idiot.
[00:50:50] Speaker A: You know, here. And he's like, just like, has it in the water and like he, you know, has it on its little snoot and you know, like the before and after of him, like, you know, like it kind of like reared back. Like you can see him like. Like the shark rear back.
[00:51:09] Speaker B: Yeah, that's not how you hold a shark.
[00:51:10] Speaker A: And then he got him on his little kneecap.
[00:51:13] Speaker B: What an idiot.
Poor lemon shark.
They're good boys.
[00:51:19] Speaker A: And so, yeah, now he's like in the.
[00:51:22] Speaker B: He's got a. He's got a shark on top of the bandage.
[00:51:24] Speaker A: Yeah, yeah. He was just out there on a fishing trip.
[00:51:32] Speaker B: And if you're gonna with sharks, go with a bull shark. They're mean.
[00:51:38] Speaker A: Don't with sharks at all. Leave them the alone.
[00:51:40] Speaker B: They're just fish.
[00:51:42] Speaker A: They're not fish.
[00:51:43] Speaker B: Actually, sharks are fish.
[00:51:44] Speaker A: Sharks are not fish.
[00:51:45] Speaker B: What are they then?
[00:51:47] Speaker A: Sharks are mammals.
Is a shark a fish?
Um, is the shark considered a fish?
[00:52:00] Speaker B: It is a fish.
[00:52:00] Speaker A: What type of fish?
[00:52:01] Speaker B: It doesn't have bones.
[00:52:03] Speaker A: What are you talking about?
[00:52:05] Speaker B: It has cartilage.
[00:52:06] Speaker A: Of course it has bones.
[00:52:07] Speaker B: No, it has cartilage.
[00:52:08] Speaker A: Does a shark have bones?
What the fuck?
[00:52:13] Speaker B: Yes, they don't have bones.
[00:52:17] Speaker A: Their skeletons are made entirely of cartilage.
[00:52:20] Speaker B: Yes.
[00:52:22] Speaker A: They'Re made of human noses. Apparently they have deposit calcium salts into their cartilage, which makes it stronger, more durable.
That's why their jaws often feel solid and can fossilize. Okay.
Yeah, so they're just like jelly, essentially. They're like.
Can they like fit through small holes too?
[00:52:48] Speaker B: No.
[00:52:52] Speaker A: So, yeah, you know, dumb shit fucking gets bit the fuck up. Good, Good for him.
[00:52:57] Speaker B: Poor lemon shark.
[00:53:01] Speaker A: You know, but that, that's why you just don't do that.
Yeah, don't, don't, you know, pose next to it, give it a thumbs up, you know, big. Yeah, we got it. And then release the shark.
[00:53:15] Speaker B: You know, Shark didn't know what was going on. They just wanted to get back in the water.
Shark was probably scared.
[00:53:25] Speaker A: Yeah, it's fine.
We got a quick relationship advice and then we'll get on out of here.
Relationship Advice by Secure Positive 5733 My husband, my 32 female husband, 32 male, is falling into the Make America healthy again. Make America great against fear.
And we have an 11 month old son. We're starting to have some serious disagreements about parenting and I'm scared. Is it salvageable or do I need to start making some tough choices?
I apologize in advance for another political post, but I guess this is my life as an American now. Jesus, I am so scared for my son and I really need advice.
Neither my husband nor I have ever identified with an Apollo political party. That being said, circa 2025 I am absolutely a Democrat while my husband claims that he's an independent, but he's definitely on the Republican side.
His whole family is MAGA to the core though.
Fox News is on 24. 7 and they'll do some mental gymnastics that requires to agree with their master. The whole nine yards has been a really, you know, big source of conflict for us since January. Since I don't want my son around that. Your son's 11 months old. He doesn't know what's going on.
The specific issue at hand, however, is that our son has upcoming vaccines. My husband is fully falling down the mat. Make America healthy again rabbit hole. While he claims that he is not anti vax, I just have some questions is where he is headed. When our son was first born he thought there was an excess of vaccines but he explicitly said something along lines of don't worry, I'm not going to suggest he skips his MMR vaccine or something. Well, guess who doesn't want our son to get his MMR vaccine now.
Lol. Cool.
What the is an MMR vaccine now? Now?
Measles, mumps and rubella. Yeah, vaccine. Okay.
He is suggesting that we wait until he is 15 months to get an MMR vaccine as compromise. How kind of him.
And that we skip all of his booster shots.
[00:55:50] Speaker B: Oh my God. If you don't get the boosters, there's no point in getting the first vaccine.
FYI, you have to do the boosters.
[00:55:59] Speaker A: Do the boosters get the vaccines?
Thanks mom for holding me down and you know, forcing vaccines into me.
[00:56:07] Speaker B: That's not the way to vaccinate a child.
[00:56:10] Speaker A: It is.
[00:56:11] Speaker B: No, she could have. No, you could have had some gabapentin. Someone could have been there to distract you. Playing calming Music, lots of toys around, trying to make it a fun environment.
[00:56:20] Speaker A: No, it wasn't a fun environment. She had shit to do.
[00:56:24] Speaker B: It's stupid.
[00:56:24] Speaker A: My mom was efficient.
[00:56:26] Speaker B: If anything else, scared of vaccines. Just give them some gabapentin or some.
[00:56:30] Speaker A: I mean, if they, if they have like pine cones that I can shove up my ass for vaccines, I'll do that. I don't care. I just don't do needles anymore.
And I don't even think it's like really my mom, like, it's like a lot of other things.
It's taking a horse penicillin needle to the face though.
[00:56:45] Speaker B: Yeah. No, that, that's traumatizing.
[00:56:50] Speaker A: And the vaccine is just the most immediate issue. He's also questioning the public school system and literally tried to tell me that he thinks teachers are out to get our kids and brainwashing him to being gay. Trans insert whatever Republican dog whistle you want here. This is a huge problem for me too. Like, go to therapy, dude.
I mean, some teachers are fucking insane.
Not all teachers. And you know, some teachers, they need to pay teachers more.
[00:57:22] Speaker B: Yes.
[00:57:23] Speaker A: That way, you know, better qualified teachers come in.
[00:57:27] Speaker B: Yes.
[00:57:27] Speaker A: And you can see, you know, what your kid can, you know, do with a good education from a good teacher.
[00:57:34] Speaker B: Yes.
[00:57:34] Speaker A: That actually wants to fucking be there and not collect a paycheck, you know, based on lowest denominator. Or wanting to be insane.
Honestly, you have to be insane to take the wages that they're paying teachers right now or you have to really actually give a shit about kids.
[00:57:53] Speaker B: Yes.
[00:57:53] Speaker A: And I've had, you know, insane teachers and I've had teachers that really care, really want, you know, the future for the kids. So, you know, I applaud those good teachers.
You know, you shouldn't bring politics into a fucking school at all.
[00:58:12] Speaker B: Nope.
[00:58:13] Speaker A: And if you're, you know, a child, you shouldn't even be like worrying about what your dinky does. Who cares?
So yeah, I know my husband is scared.
I know Fox News and his parents are preying on his vulnerabilities as a new father and he wants the best for our son. I know that he is thinking, but I also know the way he's thinking is going to be harmful for our child. You know, the way he's thinking is going to be harmful for your child. Yeah. Stop that.
How do I handle this with the entire family being full blooded maga? I feel like this is the only voice of sanity. The vaccines are a hill I will die on even if we solve this one immediate issue. I am one in a Lifetime of this. Has he gone too far? How can I get him to reevaluate his thought on this process?
God, I hate this. And I'll never forget the media for.
Forgive the media, the people that voted for this current administration. You will literally torn families apart from.
I mean, here's the thing. You know, you didn't identify with, you know, anything, but now you're a Democrat because you've been watching your news channels.
You know, but, you know, bring the science, bring the facts.
You know, I am full bore. You know, go get your vaccines.
You know, I, I didn't do the latest COVID vaccine because, you know, I had my, my horse, my hydrochloroquine. Is that how you say that?
No, I, I don't do anything. I, I, I, I, raw dog life.
But you know, have like a, a realistic, you know, conversations.
[01:00:04] Speaker B: Sounds like she's trying and all, and all he's hearing is opposition to his new beliefs.
[01:00:10] Speaker A: Well, no, she, she is, you know, hardcore on her side.
[01:00:13] Speaker B: When did she say that?
You know, she's done her best to not identify with a politic party. And now he's fought politics, enter their marriage and now he's forced her to choose a side.
Like he is the root of all this problems.
He's the one who brought this into their marriage.
[01:00:31] Speaker A: And I, right here, I, I know Fox News and his parents, yes, are preying on his Vernon. It's like, yes, you know, that, it's like, you know, two things can be true. You know, there, there could be, you know, good Democrats and, you know, good Republicans, bad Republicans and bad Democrats.
[01:00:51] Speaker B: You know, like it's, it should all be about meeting in the middle and no one, no one does that anymore.
[01:00:58] Speaker A: Here's the thing, like, as a hardcore Republican, I voted for Obama.
I, you know, he was black and I'm like, yeah, that's cool. You know, he has some, you know, good things to say and I kind of enjoy how he is and you know, I voted for him. But then like the second they're like, we need to do this, this and that, I'm like, all right, you know, you lost the plot and I joined the other team.
You know, it's like the Jedi. It's exactly the Jedi. You know, like the Jedi are like, yeah, we need to do this. And then they see what's wrong, you know, in the Jedi order and then they join the Sith.
Same colors too, actually.
Interesting.
[01:01:42] Speaker B: That is very interesting now that you've pointed it out.
[01:01:46] Speaker A: And the Sith win anyway by force.
[01:01:50] Speaker B: Well, there's what's his face with the purple one?
[01:01:53] Speaker A: Yeah, because he's black and he's like, if you want me to do this movie, I'll do the movie, but it has to be a purple lightsaber, which is dope as. Yeah, Samuel Jackson's great, but. Yeah, I mean, I want comments.
Yeah, let's see what the people say. He said he has questions. Have him bring all his questions to the doctor. Let someone who's qualified answer them. Yeah, I mean, you know, let. Let, you know, doctors, doctors have, you know, the best interest of your kid.
[01:02:23] Speaker B: Please talk to your doctor. Don't listen to the Internet, please.
[01:02:28] Speaker A: Yeah, get the kid all the fucking vaccines in the goddamn world. Also, your breast milk, you know, helps, you know, fortify the child too.
[01:02:37] Speaker B: Okay, so how vaccines work?
So kitties. So. So babies get antibodies for mom, right? So the antibodies for mom are only going to last so long in the child's systems. So you start vaccinating before the timeline for the anti. For a mom's antibodies to start fading out. So you're already starting to build the immune system. So you're covering it. As mom's antibodies leave, you need to continue to introduce the new antibodies because you have to continue to build up the immune system.
[01:03:08] Speaker A: Yeah, just take your kid to the fucking doctor, get the vaccine. Like, you can just go right in. You don't need his permission to go do that. Just go do it. You know, go take him out and you'll go get him a vaccine. He'll have a little band aid on its leg, you know, whatever.
Get, you know, write Trump on the band aid and be like, he got the Trump vaccines. Oh, hell yeah.
[01:03:30] Speaker B: That's all they need to do. They just need to call them Trump vaccines and everyone will be fine.
[01:03:36] Speaker A: Oh, hell yeah. I got the new Trump vaccine. I got the fucking Trump fucking band aid, too. Hell yeah.
[01:03:41] Speaker B: Yeah, yeah, dude.
[01:03:45] Speaker A: But yes, no, I. I did vote for Trump. So, you know, there. There have that, and I still like him. So, yeah, take your, you know, you. You don't want your kid to fucking die of, you know, measles or something.
[01:04:00] Speaker B: Really don't. Not when it could have been prevented.
[01:04:06] Speaker A: So, yeah, you know, go do that. And then, you know, if you're gonna let politics ruin your entire marriage, you know, let is, you know, and then, you know, but see, here's what can happen is, you know, it could just be like 50, 50, and you don't get anything then, like if his family owns a house and, you know, you had a Prenup, you could walk away with nothing and it could really suck for you. So.
[01:04:38] Speaker B: But if she feels that. But politics is just so dividing. It's so stupid. I hate, I hate hearing, oh, I'm Republican, so that means you're Democrat, so now you're the enemy. Like, I'm so tired of hearing that. It's like, what happened to, like, why can't we come to a common ground?
[01:04:54] Speaker A: Well, that's why I do a podcast with Tron. Tron has the exact opposite political views that I do.
You know, 100, 180.
And you know, he's like, you know, you're. You're like grifting right now. I'm like, maybe. But it's like, you know, what, what if I'm right?
You know, what, what if what I am saying is correct? And, you know, like, like there's. There's part of me that's like, yeah, go ahead. And, you know, like, after I die, let the, you know, Democrats have the entire country and then, you know, watch it go down in flames. I'm watching other countries go down in flames. You know, England going down in flames. They're like, we don't have any more gun deaths. Yeah, but you have rapes and stabbings like every day.
[01:05:45] Speaker B: So it's just, when did we go from accepting our differences to being so polarizing?
[01:05:51] Speaker A: Yeah, when politicians wanted to win, when it became a competition to win.
So, you know, they'll, they'll, you know, get soldiers on their side back. Yeah, these are my people.
It's like, you know, you can be a Democrat, you know, you could hate Donald Trump and, you know, there are real reasons to hate Donald Trump. And if you come up with a real one, you know, then fine, have your opinion, but if you come up with some, you know, bullshit, then I'm like, you know, obviously you're just, you know, going as a lemming to, you know, whatever your news, you know, feed tells you and believing that.
I mean, you know, how do you think people get racist?
It's kind of just like, hey, you know, black people are bad. You hear that every fucking day. And it's like, oh, black people are lazy. You know, and then you start believing it.
[01:06:53] Speaker B: Yeah. Cuz it's been bred into you since you were a child, so it falls on you to be able to step out of that mindset.
[01:07:02] Speaker A: See, you know, like, I don't think I'm that racist.
I know I have biases for sure, but, you know, a little bit I.
[01:07:19] Speaker B: Just do my best to be Aware of the words I choose and my actions and how I perceive things that are shown before me. And, like, I've worked really real. And, like, there are some things I've had to work really hard on. Like, because for a long time, and this is going to sound awful, and I'm super embarrassed about it, but for a long time I saw. Oh, my God. It's basically. It took me a long time to realize that.
Oh, my God. I don't even want to say I'm so embarrassed, but, like, I struggled with it for so long, but it took me a long time for me to realize that black women also want giant princess dresses and that it was perfectly normal and natural to want that. And for a long time, I was like, oh, like, just, like, in my head, in the back of my mind, I was just like, oh, yeah, people are people. And so it just. It took me a long time to get over that. And so whenever I. And so it's just like, I have to be aware of what's my. What's it called? Micro racism or whatnot. I'm trying my best to be aware of little actions I do and little thoughts in the back of my head so I can see things more evenly around me.
[01:08:24] Speaker A: Yeah. I mean, if you sit there and, you know, go on Instagram all day and, you know, watch, you know, like, you know, inner city kids, like, inner city, like black youth, you know, going out and doing some crazy shit over and over and over, you know, you're going to, like, look at, like, the next black guy you see and be like, oh, I guarantee you, he's just like those inner city youths I saw on the Internet and then miss out on an opportunity to have, like, a, you know, a cool dude in your life.
[01:08:54] Speaker B: Like, so with our corporate thing, they always have us watch, like, little videos, like training modules and that kind of stuff. When I first started working there, all the trainees or what, and like, they would be like cartoon figures. They wouldn't be like actual people, but they were, like, always all white characters. And then in the last six months on the training videos, there are now people of color who are the characters, like, that's been introduced. And it's so refreshing to see.
It's still annoying as fuck, and I hate listening to them. But at the same time, it's like, I've seen this change and I'm so happy to see it.
[01:09:26] Speaker A: Yeah, I mean, like, and that's what.
[01:09:28] Speaker B: That's. What's it about.
[01:09:29] Speaker A: I would say, like, half the people that I work with are black, you know, and I not, you know, any worse or any better than anybody else.
Like, yeah, no, you guys are all fine.
You know, I put everyone individually on a scale.
I judge everyone individually, you know, and that scale can slide really fat fast if you're. I'm, like, driving, like, on the road, and, like, I see you do some shit on the road, I'm like, all right, boom. You're a piece of shit. I don't care who you are. You know, what your gender is. You know, whoever is driving that car is a piece of shit.
So, yeah, yeah, don't. Don't let politics fucking divide you if it is an issue, you know, just, you know, have a rule. Have a rule for your marriage. Just back. You know, you can go out and have friends and, you know, talk about, you know, all your, you know, MAGA stuff and your gun stuff and all that. And then, you know, you can, you know, I'll go out and have, you know, brunch with my girls, and we'll talk about, you know, how Kamala was robbed of the presidency.
So, yeah, do that, you know, or get divorced and fucking, you know, shred your family apart because, you know. You know, that, you know, Trump is bad, whatever. But that's it for this week. We'll be back next week with some more shit we might have, you know, something brewing, maybe. We'll see what's up. But until then, we'll see you next week. Bye.
[01:11:13] Speaker B: Bye.
