Overpaid

[00:00:01] Speaker A: Alrighty. Alrighty, everybody. Welcome back to the Human podcast. You know, podcast I do simply just because my mother listens, I guess. But we're back. I'm your host, Alex the Truck, and we're, we're here with my wife. Just supports the things I like to do. And Courtney over there, probably burning to the ground in la. [00:00:26] Speaker B: I'm assuming no one heard me lick the mic. [00:00:28] Speaker A: Did you lick the mic? [00:00:29] Speaker C: No. [00:00:29] Speaker B: Yes. [00:00:30] Speaker A: Why? [00:00:31] Speaker B: Because I wanted to know what it tasted like. [00:00:33] Speaker A: Metal. [00:00:34] Speaker B: Yeah, I know. I was disappointed. [00:00:36] Speaker A: Yeah, it tastes like metal. It's not great. [00:00:39] Speaker B: I was expecting better. I've tasted better metals. [00:00:43] Speaker A: Yeah, I mean, obviously. My God, you know, like iron. [00:00:52] Speaker B: I mean, I mainly taste stainless steel, but other. But when there's opportunities for me to taste other metals, I accept them. [00:00:58] Speaker A: Okay, I mean, that's fine. But let's get right into the biggest news story in America, the one that we have to fucking talk about. The fires in la. Yeah, it's like, you know, they said that there is flaming homosexuals out there in California and I guess they were right. Right on the money. But honestly, good for la. It needs to burn down. LA kinda does. Like, like name 10 good things about LA, you know, and no one can. Like, they're like, oh, it's. There's a bunch of movie stars. It's Hollywood. [00:01:49] Speaker B: Well, don't forget Disneylanders at Disney World. [00:01:51] Speaker A: That's in. Or Orlando. [00:01:54] Speaker C: That's in Orlando. [00:01:55] Speaker B: I don't understand which is which. There's a world and there's a land. [00:01:58] Speaker A: World is in Florida. Disneyland is in California. [00:02:02] Speaker B: So is that burned yet? [00:02:04] Speaker A: Probably not. You know, Disney probably has it since. [00:02:08] Speaker C: It'S in San Diego. Not. [00:02:11] Speaker A: It's an Anaheim, technically. [00:02:13] Speaker C: Oh, there's one in Anaheim. I forgot. [00:02:16] Speaker A: So, yeah, it's far enough away from la. But it's like LA has gang violence, LA has stuck up idiots, and they have a, a gay fire chief that is, you know, getting dragged through all of the dragged. And honestly, it's not the fact that, you know, she's gay, it's the fact that she's a woman. You know that that's the whole reason that she's getting dragged at all. If it was a man and the same thing was happening. They're like, he's doing his best. He's really trying. You could see his mustache. Holy shit. But since it's a. [00:03:05] Speaker C: Well, no, she implemented policies that were cost cutting to the fire department and that's why everyone's blaming her. [00:03:15] Speaker A: Yeah, but if a dude did the same thing, he would not get blamed. [00:03:20] Speaker C: I don't know. People are blaming Gavin Newsom, too. Well, they're calling him new scum. [00:03:26] Speaker A: Well, that's because Oregon sent down, what, like 60 fire trucks to come help, and they turned them away because they wouldn't do smog. It's like, yeah, I think the fire is more of a danger to the atmosphere than, you know, some fire trucks driving all the way through the state. [00:03:46] Speaker B: Okay. I don't understand why California is not its own, like, country, and then, like, L. A Is like a state inside its own country. [00:03:55] Speaker A: Because if it is, if it was its own country, we just take it over and just be like, guess what? You belong back to the United States and you lose everything because they don't have guns. What are you going to do, Defend yourself with fucking hopes and prayers? [00:04:11] Speaker B: I know you need guns to fight guns, but I hate that. [00:04:17] Speaker A: Like, California has all but banned guns, and people are like, oh, I live in California and I have a gun. It's like, yeah, but anytime I see, you know, California compliant guns here in Colorado, I'm like, oh, you just took away all the features of the gun and made it, like, impossible to do anything with it. [00:04:42] Speaker B: Gun laws are weird. They have magic words like legal words do in a courtroom. [00:04:48] Speaker A: Well, I mean, here in Colorado, they have, you know, introduced a new bill that would make it illegal to buy or sell any gun that had a detachable magazine. So if you wanted to, you know, if I wanted to buy a new rifle, the magazine would have to be, like, somehow welded in or fixed in, and I'd have to, like, load everything from the top. And cops would be immune from this law. So cops could just come through and start murdering people after they fire off their 10 shots. [00:05:23] Speaker B: No, I feel like gun law should. Should apply to police guns as well. Otherwise it's not fair. Like, if you're going to make a law about guns, the police also need to follow said gun laws. [00:05:34] Speaker A: I. I say if you are here for gun laws, you are anti military, you know, because anytime, you know, we go to another country, we, you know, to, you know, bring up democracy to save them from their government. [00:05:52] Speaker B: Wait, savior. But continue. [00:05:54] Speaker C: Or by helping their government oppress them. [00:05:59] Speaker A: Either way, you know, guns are necessary for that whole purpose. It's like, if you want to take away guns from the military and be like, you know, try and go out there with diplomacy, it's not gonna work, you know, and people out here in America are like, well, you can't fight the government because they have APCs it's like Afghanistan would have been taken over in a day if that was true. They came over there with military might and are still losing guys, still having guys blown the fuck up, you know, by IEDs, and is gone, you know, and we are much bigger than Afghanistan. [00:06:41] Speaker B: War is disgusting. [00:06:42] Speaker A: It is, but, you know, it is necessary. Okay. Or knock over everything in my office. That's cool too. [00:06:50] Speaker B: I don't understand what happened. All I did was touch it. [00:06:52] Speaker A: You kicked it over. [00:06:53] Speaker B: I touched it. [00:06:54] Speaker A: I literally watched you play with it for the last 10 minutes. [00:06:57] Speaker B: I know it's just curling my toes inside the things and you kicked it over. [00:07:01] Speaker A: So it's fine, it's fine. It's no big deal. Just don't do it anymore. Ah, but yes, I like California and their ridiculous laws and the ridiculous policies, you know, and their diversity hires, you know, can backfire. You know, it's like lgbq, you know, instead of whatever. Honestly, I, I don't blame, you know, any of you know, the ladies that are in charge of the LA fire department. I, I'm kind of glad that LA is burning down. Just stay in California, run into the fires. You're already in hell, so you'll feel right at home. Like, like. Do you see smoke over in your area, Courtney? [00:08:00] Speaker C: No, but most of it's getting blown out to sea. Like, you can, I can show you on Google Maps, it shows where all the smoke is going. [00:08:11] Speaker A: I mean, everyone can see the smoke. Never mind. God damn. Like, I'm, I'm swinging and I'm missing on these jokes. [00:08:21] Speaker B: Yeah, it's pretty bad. [00:08:22] Speaker C: Sorry. [00:08:22] Speaker B: I kind of feel bad for you. [00:08:25] Speaker C: Sorry. [00:08:27] Speaker A: I mean, like, like when you tell an intelligent joke on a stage and like, only one person gets it and they're cackling and then like 10 minutes later, everyone else is like, oh, I got the joke. He's funny. And it's like, yeah, that'd been great if you're, you know, not dumb and got the joke right away because, like, having to explain a joke ruins it. [00:08:59] Speaker B: I mean, I was following this one. I was following this one page and it's a news reporter and he's reporting a fire and he's like, it. He's like, I've never seen anything but, like, it before. It looks like a war zone. And for me, that like, just really struck home and I just feel fire is awful. Like both awe and both. Aw. It's a force and it's carbon. I still don't understand what that means. [00:09:24] Speaker A: I've been in multiple fires. It's nothing like a war zone. It's smoky and it sucks to drive through, but it's whatever. [00:09:36] Speaker B: Have you ever been in a war? [00:09:38] Speaker C: It depends. [00:09:40] Speaker B: Because COD doesn't count. I mean, COD does not count. [00:09:46] Speaker A: What's hilarious is like the war torn, like Al Mazra map. They send you in. It's pretty nice. Like, there's like no blown up buildings, none of that. Like, everything is like really nice. And it's like, oh, yeah, there's beds here. [00:10:01] Speaker B: And my statement stands, like, it's not. [00:10:03] Speaker A: A war torn country. I'm like, I would live here, you know, if it wasn't a city. [00:10:08] Speaker B: God, it's not real. [00:10:11] Speaker A: God is very real. [00:10:13] Speaker B: You live in your universe. It's fine. [00:10:17] Speaker A: I mean, like the, the city of Al Mazar is probably not real. Let's see now I gotta see. Is Al Mazar real? Well, if you had stopped fucking talking. Shut up, shut up. I'm gonna mute your mic. Is Almazra real? [00:10:51] Speaker C: Oh my God. [00:10:52] Speaker A: Al Mazra is a Palestinian town located like 13 kilometers northeast of Rala. Rala. Hala city, whatever. Yeah, so Al Mazra is a very real place. So suck my dick. [00:11:19] Speaker B: It might be a real place, but how it's described in COD is not how it's described. [00:11:24] Speaker A: It's a map in God. Now I'm gonna have to, you know, go in and do more research, like in the middle of the podcast. [00:11:34] Speaker B: What are you trying to prove? [00:11:36] Speaker A: Fortress Alba. Y'all keep on talking. Albagra Fortress. No, not There we go. [00:11:49] Speaker B: Cod Wiki. Okay, fine. [00:11:53] Speaker A: Albagra Forge. Yep. [00:12:04] Speaker C: It'S Albabra. [00:12:07] Speaker A: Well, that's, that's one of the fortresses. [00:12:12] Speaker C: Oh, it's Al Bagra. [00:12:14] Speaker A: Yes, that's what I said. [00:12:26] Speaker C: Isn't it just in Call of Duty. [00:12:33] Speaker A: Well, I'm not going to spend any more time on this. I. I don't really give a. But yes, like, they're like real places. I'm sure it's not like a one to one, but yes, there is a lot of fucking times where people go. [00:12:48] Speaker B: There'S no way there's a country called Chad. [00:12:50] Speaker A: Yes. [00:12:51] Speaker C: Yeah, there is. [00:12:52] Speaker B: Oh my God, isn't your friend's name like Chadley? [00:12:57] Speaker A: It's Chad. There's also a country called that. That, that's the name of a country right there. [00:13:05] Speaker B: But there's only one. [00:13:07] Speaker A: Yeah, it's Niger, but yeah, so implies. [00:13:09] Speaker B: A hard vowel, not a soft. [00:13:13] Speaker A: And Sudan, like I, I want to go to like Sudan and Libya and Algeria. [00:13:17] Speaker B: I want to go to the desert. It'll be so warm. You'll be so miserable, and I'll be so happy. [00:13:23] Speaker A: Except if I want to go to Africa, I have to get shots. [00:13:26] Speaker B: Yeah, I know. Poor you. [00:13:29] Speaker A: So I'm not gonna go. [00:13:32] Speaker B: I'm sorry. You don't want to get malaria or tzatziki. [00:13:38] Speaker A: Taziki is a sauce. [00:13:39] Speaker B: Zeke. I don't know. It's close. [00:13:43] Speaker A: Malaria. [00:13:45] Speaker B: Okay, so there's Zeke. Like, the sleep. The sleeping sickness. [00:13:49] Speaker A: Oh, that sounds dope. That doesn't sound like a sickness. [00:13:52] Speaker B: No, it does sound dope, but, like, it's not. When you, like. I don't know. I don't. I feel like I don't be. I wouldn't be bad if I went to sleep and never woke up. I'm not gonna lie. Like, if I'm going to be suicidal, it might as well be soft. [00:14:10] Speaker A: There's a place in Palestine called Swat. [00:14:17] Speaker B: These are just words that are spelled with English letters and, like, sometimes quite poorly. [00:14:25] Speaker A: I mean, they're pretty close on. [00:14:28] Speaker B: Is our Alphabet really that good? [00:14:30] Speaker A: Our Alphabet's pretty, you know, really good. Honestly. You know, our pronunciation of words is abysmal. [00:14:39] Speaker B: Yeah, say that again. [00:14:41] Speaker A: I mean, abysmal. [00:14:43] Speaker B: No, pronunciation, Pronunciation. Yeah, say it three times in a row. [00:14:46] Speaker A: Pronunciation, pronunciation, pronunciation change. But, like, you know, if you have, like, one ox, it's an ox, and if you have two ox, it's oxen. If you have one box, it's box. If you have two box, it's not. [00:15:05] Speaker B: Boxing and it's octopus. It's not octopi because you can't apply Latin grammar to Greek words. I really wish it was octopi, but it's octopuses. [00:15:28] Speaker C: Oh, my goodness. [00:15:29] Speaker A: Yeah. Here we go. Found it. Let's see if. You know, it's exactly the same as video game. Pretty close on. God damn. Let's see if the fortress is the exact same. Well, there's nothing there. But. [00:15:57] Speaker B: Where'S the second fortress supposed. How many fortresses? Like, four. [00:16:01] Speaker A: No, there's one. [00:16:03] Speaker B: Shouldn't there be four fortresses? [00:16:05] Speaker A: No, it's just a fortress. [00:16:07] Speaker B: But there's. But if it's called. It's not a single. It's a fortress. [00:16:15] Speaker A: Yeah. No, it's pretty close on. God damn. You know, like, it's. It's a tiny little town surrounded by nothing. Yeah. Just farmland all the way around and desert. Yeah. Rohan, oil. Yeah. This is all there in the game. Yeah. Suck my dick. Call of Duty is real. [00:16:40] Speaker B: Sure. [00:16:42] Speaker A: Sure. [00:16:43] Speaker B: I'm just going to say sure so we can move on. [00:16:47] Speaker A: Oh, my God, Alex. [00:16:49] Speaker C: That's the worst thing to say. [00:16:50] Speaker B: I know, right? [00:16:51] Speaker A: You're upset that I am right. [00:16:53] Speaker B: No, you're right in the way you just. You deem your. It's. You're right in a certain point of view, quoting what's his face not Obi Wan's mentor. Obi Wan. I did my best. A certain point of view, which is the most bullshit line in the entire trilogy of first gen Star Wars. Most bullshit line ever. From a certain point of view, like, what the fuck, dude? [00:17:19] Speaker A: I guarantee you that they get so much fucking tourism from people that played Call of Duty. And people just come to the city. [00:17:28] Speaker B: Think how sad that must be. Hey, I'm at your country because a video game said you looked like this. So now I'm cool. [00:17:36] Speaker A: But now that this city gets to get. [00:17:39] Speaker C: If there was an anime that we would definitely go. [00:17:43] Speaker A: JoJo's Bizarre Adventure. Dead on. Yeah, dead on. [00:17:49] Speaker C: Shut up, Alex. You're a nerd too. Oh, my. [00:17:58] Speaker B: Am I the nerd or is he the nerd? [00:18:01] Speaker C: We're all nerds. [00:18:03] Speaker B: Yeah, we're all nerds. [00:18:05] Speaker C: So does that mean I fit in in college? [00:18:08] Speaker B: Yeah. No one likes me. [00:18:12] Speaker C: Oh my gosh, Alex. [00:18:13] Speaker B: No, seriously, like, I would show up for lectures and not study and then get straight A's and no one hung out with me. Everyone hated studying. No, I just showed up and listened to the lectures and I learned everything. I didn't have to study. I just heard it and learned it. [00:18:30] Speaker A: Al Mazra's in Syria. [00:18:32] Speaker C: God, I fucking hate you. I know. [00:18:33] Speaker B: Courtney. I had no friends in college. No, everyone hated me. I just. [00:18:39] Speaker A: I. Except I was. [00:18:41] Speaker C: You have friends? [00:18:42] Speaker B: You totally did. [00:18:43] Speaker C: You introduced me to some of them. [00:18:44] Speaker B: I did? [00:18:45] Speaker C: When I went to visit. [00:18:46] Speaker B: Yeah, I had friends. [00:18:48] Speaker A: Yes, we had friends. [00:18:50] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:18:51] Speaker B: Like what were they like? [00:18:53] Speaker A: We're all bunch of dorks. [00:18:56] Speaker C: Yeah, dorks. The nerds. And you guys watched My Little Pony. [00:19:01] Speaker B: Alex, that was. Oh my God, I love My Little Pony. Don't make me sing the Winter Wrap up song, because I will. [00:19:12] Speaker A: We can go to Greece too. [00:19:15] Speaker B: I want to go wherever. Wherever it's not too cold. [00:19:19] Speaker A: North Macedonia. [00:19:21] Speaker B: I want to go where there's lots of places. [00:19:23] Speaker A: I want to go places and be a tourist. Hard as. [00:19:26] Speaker B: I want to go places. We can hike and look around at lower elevations so I don't pass out. [00:19:31] Speaker A: Albania. Albania has some good ass food. [00:19:39] Speaker B: I love food. [00:19:40] Speaker A: I mean, at least my Albanian friends make some good ass food. I don't know if the entire country does, but I assume they do. [00:19:49] Speaker B: Every country has their own Specialty. Like, I'm not going to go to wherever the fuck you just said and expect to get a good cheeseburger. I'm going to be looking for other foods. But if you go to America, you expect to get a good cheeseburger. [00:20:00] Speaker A: Why would you get a good cheeseburger here? [00:20:02] Speaker B: Because cheeseburgers can rock when they're nice. [00:20:07] Speaker A: Would you like to lay down, Mochi? Would you like to lay down? Lay down. [00:20:14] Speaker B: Don't tell mama what to do. She's an independent kitty. [00:20:18] Speaker A: Like. Like, one place I want to go to is New Zealand. Well, like, I feel like that would be, like, the best. [00:20:28] Speaker B: I also want to go to New Zealand, but, like, also, I'd feel so guilty being there. [00:20:33] Speaker A: Why? [00:20:34] Speaker B: Because of the lemurs. [00:20:36] Speaker A: The. The lemurs. [00:20:38] Speaker B: Lemurs. There are seven distinct species that live in seven distinct ecosystems. And I feel like an invader. [00:20:48] Speaker A: Well, just don't go there then. [00:20:50] Speaker B: I know. [00:20:51] Speaker A: Just go to, like, church. Christ. [00:20:54] Speaker B: I just want to go where it's warm and either there's sand or water, preferably both. [00:20:59] Speaker A: Then we'll go to Japan. Like, that'll be our next trip. Warm in Japan. It's hot in Japan. [00:21:04] Speaker B: I do really want to go to Japan. [00:21:09] Speaker A: Okay. Are you happy now, Mochi? [00:21:11] Speaker B: Whatever makes the momo happy makes momo happy. [00:21:14] Speaker A: But speaking of New Zealand, let's get right into some fucking stories, you know? Get off of fucking, you know. California burning. Yeah, I hope they all stay there. World's ugliest lawn winner says she leaves watering to mother nature. New Zealand garden takes first place in global competition designed to promote water conservation. [00:21:40] Speaker B: Oh, this is cool as. [00:21:43] Speaker A: So it's just a ugly lawn. Here, I'll share the. [00:21:47] Speaker B: Why do everybody care about lawns? [00:21:50] Speaker A: I. I've turned off, like, the sprinklers. I don't give a anymore. [00:21:54] Speaker B: I don't understand the point of lawns. I just want our guard. I just want our front yard to go to seed and seasonally, naturally, to support local ecosystems. I don't want our fucking lawn to be perfect 24 7. And also it pisses off the maggot. And whatever makes the maggot angry makes me happy because fuck her. [00:22:13] Speaker C: Who's the magnet? [00:22:15] Speaker B: She's our next door neighbor who's like a super Karen and called the city on us when our front yard. The grass on our front yard got too high. [00:22:23] Speaker A: What's funny is the winner actually kind of looks like her. [00:22:27] Speaker B: I don't remember what she looks like, but she looks like a Karen. So that's all that Matters. Oh, my God. One time she showed up and she was throwing a hissy fit about the fact that we had our, like, garbage can out in the front yard when literally, we had just move in. So we were, like, moving all the fucking trash out of the house into the fucking trash bin so it could come get collected. And now we purposely leave it out just to piss her off. [00:22:52] Speaker A: Yeah. I mean, I hope she dies. Like, I'm gonna celebrate. [00:22:55] Speaker B: No, it used to be, like, so nice to her. Like, you shoveled, like, in front of her house for the snow and everything, and she was so cunty back to us. [00:23:04] Speaker A: Yeah. And it's like, there, like, the second it, like, does a nice little snowstorm and she hasn't, you know, shoveled in 24 hours, I'm calling the city immediately. [00:23:14] Speaker B: Exactly. Fucking retribution against old white ladies. [00:23:17] Speaker A: It's like, hey, guess what? Now you're going to have to, you know, get a little nasty letter in the mail saying, hey, take care of this, and if it continues to happen, we're going to come out. [00:23:27] Speaker B: Yeah, that was super dumb. [00:23:32] Speaker A: Yeah. No, like, I. I talked to, like, the city people, and they're like, yeah, we hate her. Like, they. They've come out and like, when I was, you know, taking care of and like, hey, you own this house. I'm like, I did. Like, hey, if you can take care of that, you know, your neighbor over there is complaining. I'm like, can you go fucking kill her? [00:23:50] Speaker B: For real? And we don't even live in a fucking hoa and we still have to fucking put up with their bullshit. [00:23:57] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:23:57] Speaker A: There's nothing the city can actually do. [00:23:59] Speaker B: We're not in a fucking hoa, so fuck her. [00:24:05] Speaker A: Like, I can't wait to, like, you know, get a balloon saying, yeah, you're dead. [00:24:09] Speaker B: And she was super racist to our roommate when he was living with us. [00:24:15] Speaker C: Oh, wow. [00:24:16] Speaker B: For reals? [00:24:17] Speaker A: I'm pretty sure that's why she called the city. [00:24:19] Speaker B: It's like, that would be hilarious. [00:24:22] Speaker C: Why don't you guys get some wildflower seeds and put them all in your garden and that way it'll look good. [00:24:29] Speaker B: That's what I'm going to do next year. [00:24:31] Speaker A: Well, I don't give a shit and. [00:24:33] Speaker B: Exactly. So it's up to me, and I don't have that kind of energy right now, so it's going to have to happen next year. [00:24:37] Speaker A: Do you have the kind of money to fucking water at all? [00:24:40] Speaker B: No. [00:24:41] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:24:42] Speaker B: Precisely. [00:24:43] Speaker C: Do it naturally. [00:24:44] Speaker A: Yeah, see, I. I want to get. [00:24:46] Speaker B: No, you're gonna turn around. You're gonna turn around and one day there's gonna be beehives in our yard. And you're not gonna. And you're not gonna know what to do with them. But I will. Like, seriously, my hairdresser has been, like, talking about it, and it's like, it's difficult, but not like that difficult. Like, it's gonna be just as annoying to take care of an aquarium as it will to have a beehive. [00:25:06] Speaker A: No, be. [00:25:07] Speaker C: I think you're over stretching yourself. [00:25:09] Speaker B: Of course I am, but that doesn't mean I'm not going to do it. [00:25:12] Speaker A: You're not going to do it? Oh, my God, Alex, you don't even know you. You don't have enough acreage to take care of, you know, honey. [00:25:23] Speaker C: And with the city stuff, the zoning. You should look up the zoning. They sometimes don't allow it. Like, they'll make you get rid of it. [00:25:30] Speaker A: We are in a school zone, too. [00:25:33] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:25:34] Speaker B: Oh, well, then that can't happen then, because kids are. [00:25:38] Speaker A: Well, if one of the bees that are on our property that we take care of goes out and stings one of them. [00:25:44] Speaker B: I literally just agreed that kids are. [00:25:47] Speaker A: And they die, which is the most. [00:25:50] Speaker B: Appropriate time for things to die. [00:25:52] Speaker A: Ben will die if he gets stung by a bee. [00:25:54] Speaker B: Okay. No, seriously. One time a cat came in and she was pregnant, but she was positive for kitty aids. So, like, we. So that's how I got like, my little, like, frozen kitten fetus is because we're like, oh, well, our kittens are going to have aids. So we did surgery, killed her off. Killed the kittens off. Then we all collected the kitten fetuses and put them in jars. Like, you, like, culling happens best when they're young, before they can reproduce more. That's the, that's the optimum time to cull, is when they're children. [00:26:27] Speaker A: Yeah, but people don't like it when their kids die. And I, I, I'm a, I'm a supporter of, like, defending children. [00:26:35] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:26:36] Speaker A: Yeah. I, I can't be out here. [00:26:40] Speaker B: Okay? I believe in monarchies, and monarchies are not democracies. Ah, babe, did your beer, like, foam over whatever the it's called? Is there, like, a name for it? [00:26:58] Speaker A: Yeah. Ruining your day. [00:26:59] Speaker B: Okay. Because, like, my, like, all the beers do that. Except my porters. My porters never overflow like that. [00:27:07] Speaker A: I accidentally banged it while getting it out and cracked it up and Too quick. [00:27:11] Speaker B: Is that what she said? [00:27:14] Speaker A: Sure. [00:27:15] Speaker B: Sure, sure, sure. That was the wrong kind of sure. [00:27:22] Speaker A: I mean, it's fine. Whatever. So yeah, this old lady in Christchurch, New Zealand has the ugliest lawn. And you know, good for her. I hope she wins money off of it. But yeah, she's sitting there like, yeah, our drinking water is pumped from a well and she's like, I don't want to waste it on the lawn. [00:27:50] Speaker B: Like, you should let the environment around do what it's supposed to fucking do. [00:27:56] Speaker A: Oh. There was an irrigation ban in 2022 due to water shortage and it led to a competition between residents which quickly gained global recognition. [00:28:06] Speaker B: That's amazing. Like we take the environment, sculpt it to our needs, and then get mad when it doesn't do what we demanded it to do. [00:28:18] Speaker A: Yeah, I mean typical, you know, dumbass people that wanna, you know, have a green lawn and a white picket fence because they think it looks good. [00:28:31] Speaker B: If we ever put up a white picket fence, I'm gonna paint it pink. We're not like, I'd have like the like horizontal pink, but then the vertical would be blue. [00:28:42] Speaker A: And we're, we're not, we're not doing that at all. [00:28:45] Speaker B: I know if I had my choice, we do like the like brick with like the archways. Like that neighbor. Like four, like four hit like four houses but beyond us, like they're, they're like their fence. Like that brick was only open four. [00:28:59] Speaker A: Feet in the front yard. So now I know I have to. [00:29:02] Speaker B: Do it all by myself. And I can't do that. I'm too weak. [00:29:05] Speaker A: Yeah, I mean masonry work sucks. [00:29:09] Speaker B: Well also I have a neuropathy and I can't lift stuff for very long. So I can't do it by myself. [00:29:14] Speaker A: Yep. And I'm not doing it. [00:29:15] Speaker B: Precisely. So if I ever put a fence up, I get to paint it. [00:29:21] Speaker A: I mean, good luck with that. [00:29:23] Speaker B: Exactly. But wood's lighter than brick. [00:29:27] Speaker A: As someone that has built fences before and you know, done brickwork before and done all this dumbass done a lot of in my life and, and there's a reason why I don't do certain things anymore. Cuz it sucks. [00:29:39] Speaker B: You see how poorly if assemblade I've assemble. I have assembled cat tree. Sometimes you know what our fence will look like. But I'll do my best. [00:29:48] Speaker A: And then it'll get blown over immediately. I like the metal fence. It's great. [00:29:52] Speaker B: I'm not going to move the metal fence. I'm just going to have the wood lean against it. I'm going to cheat. [00:29:59] Speaker A: That's going to rot immediately. So I mean if you want rotting wood tastes good. No it doesn't. And it also attracts rodents and nasty shit. [00:30:14] Speaker C: Wait, what'd you say? Tastes good. [00:30:16] Speaker B: Rotten wood. Like, when it gets, like, soft enough that it just, like, ever so slightly squishes between your teeth when you bite down, then it's perfect. [00:30:26] Speaker C: Rotten wood. [00:30:28] Speaker B: Yes. [00:30:28] Speaker A: Oh, my gosh. [00:30:30] Speaker B: It tastes like honey. [00:30:33] Speaker C: You've tasted rotten wood, Courtney. [00:30:35] Speaker B: You don't under. Courtney. Literally any type. I've bitten literally everything in my life. You know, this. [00:30:42] Speaker A: Eating my dick. [00:30:43] Speaker B: Yeah, okay, that only happened twice, okay? And it's because I have a fucking underbite and my arcade up front is malformed. I've done my best, okay? [00:30:55] Speaker C: Oh, my God. [00:30:56] Speaker B: And it hasn't happened in years. [00:30:59] Speaker A: All right, so on to the next story. An Aussie woman, you know, from the next Highland over went on a spending spree after Crypto.com accidentally sent her $10.5 million. [00:31:14] Speaker B: Nice. [00:31:16] Speaker A: In May 2021, Crypto.com processed a Revund. A refund for manievil. That's a fucking maneval. I'm gonna say Maneville. [00:31:28] Speaker B: I don't know many evil. [00:31:30] Speaker A: But instead of entering the refund amount for a hundred dollars into the payment system, an employee mistakenly put her account number into the field for the transfer amount, and the simple clerical error caused 10.5 million to be sent to her account. Remarkably, the error slipped under the radar for seven months, only coming to light during a routine audit in December 2021. By that time, the funds were already being spent, turning a simple refund into a legal and reputational debacle for the company. The response was un unexpected. The windfall was as extravagant as it was swift. Within months, the disability support worker purchased a 1.35 million dollar luxury home, and she transferred the property to her sister. [00:32:25] Speaker B: Oh, smart. [00:32:29] Speaker A: The property included four bedrooms, spacious interior, landscape garden, and was purchased beyond anything she could afford it under normal circumstances. Beyond the house, Court documents reveal that she's floured on high end cars, expensive gifts, and international bank transfers to family members in Malaysia. For someone unaccustomed to wealth, the sudden influx seemed like a once in a lifetime opportunity. When Crypto.com realized their error, they moved to swiftly recover the money, filing a lawsuit against her and her sister in early 2022. [00:33:08] Speaker B: What? [00:33:09] Speaker A: However, by the time the court intervened in August 2022, much of the money had vanished. [00:33:15] Speaker B: Possession is, what, 55% of the law? [00:33:19] Speaker C: No, it's. It wouldn't work in this case, alex. [00:33:22] Speaker A: Oh. In August 2022, the Victorian Supreme Court ruled in favor of crypto.com ordering the sale of the property and the return of the remaining funds. [00:33:37] Speaker B: That's bullshit. [00:33:40] Speaker A: However, by this point, much of the money had been spent or moved, complicating the recovery efforts. [00:33:46] Speaker B: Yeah, possession is like what, 90% of the law? There's a phrase. [00:33:50] Speaker A: Nine tenths of the law. [00:33:51] Speaker B: But I'm so close to it. [00:33:59] Speaker A: As the legal case escalated, her and her sister attempted to escape in March 2020. [00:34:06] Speaker B: No, that's the wrong move. [00:34:07] Speaker A: And her. Her and her family were intercepted at Melbourne airport with one way tickets to Malaysia. [00:34:14] Speaker B: No, they needed to stay. No. [00:34:21] Speaker C: Oh my. [00:34:22] Speaker B: They needed to stay. Running away just, ah, just failed everything. [00:34:30] Speaker A: I mean, I can't believe they ruled. [00:34:32] Speaker B: In favor of the company. [00:34:35] Speaker A: I mean crypto.com is. I, like, I. I haven't. I don't even have an account with them. Them. Like they're exactly them. [00:34:46] Speaker B: The chick should have won. [00:34:49] Speaker A: Well, no, she shouldn't have won. [00:34:50] Speaker B: Like, why not? [00:34:51] Speaker A: It was a mistake on their part. [00:34:53] Speaker B: Money's money and we live in capitalism. [00:34:57] Speaker A: This is Australia. [00:34:58] Speaker B: What is the difference? Oh, is Australia part of the non single pair system? I know I said the wrong words. [00:35:09] Speaker A: Yeah, I have no idea what that is. [00:35:11] Speaker B: I know, but continue. [00:35:12] Speaker C: Health care. They have some health care. Yeah. [00:35:14] Speaker B: Okay. Thank you. [00:35:15] Speaker C: Wonderful health benefits. [00:35:17] Speaker B: Thank you. [00:35:17] Speaker C: And they're required to do have certain wages and stuff. [00:35:22] Speaker B: Like free health care is all that matters. [00:35:24] Speaker A: Yeah. So they're great over there. [00:35:27] Speaker B: Like the dude who was like bitten half and like it took like fucking like 30 years for his mom to save up the money to surgery to re. To reassert him. [00:35:36] Speaker A: What? [00:35:37] Speaker B: Yes. [00:35:39] Speaker C: What happened? [00:35:40] Speaker B: There was a dude in China who was fucking bent in half and his family couldn't afford the surgery until like years later. [00:35:47] Speaker A: Oh, where are you hearing these stories? [00:35:52] Speaker B: Southern China post. [00:35:55] Speaker A: Okay. Yeah. [00:35:56] Speaker C: Alex, that's probably fake. [00:35:58] Speaker B: I don't know. The surgery scenes were pretty dope though. I'm here for blood. [00:36:02] Speaker A: Is it a fucking TV show? [00:36:05] Speaker B: I don't know. Facebook is the highest source of false information and I saw it on Facebook, so I'm not gonna say it's true. Jeez. [00:36:15] Speaker A: Whatever. [00:36:16] Speaker B: There was still a dude a bit in half who had surgery, so it was pretty cool to watch. [00:36:19] Speaker C: I think like my hips went out of place. [00:36:22] Speaker B: Oh my God. [00:36:23] Speaker C: Just now when I moved. I hope, I hope it's back in place. [00:36:28] Speaker B: Like, have you called the chiropractor brat back? [00:36:31] Speaker C: No, I'm gonna make an appointment. [00:36:33] Speaker B: Okay. [00:36:34] Speaker C: In a day or two on Monday. [00:36:36] Speaker B: Okay. [00:36:36] Speaker A: Don't call. [00:36:37] Speaker C: I have a Pilates class on. I'm trying to get Enrolled at the local college for a Pilates class. [00:36:43] Speaker B: That'd be so good for you. [00:36:46] Speaker A: Don't call the chiropractor back to the hospital. [00:36:47] Speaker B: The only thing is, like. [00:36:51] Speaker C: Why do you not go back to the chiropractor? [00:36:54] Speaker B: No, for a while, like, I was able to afford, like, a fucking subscription to this one chiropractor. And I could go, like, I could go like, four times a month for the prices. Just going one times a month and not fucking. Dude was dope as fuck until I couldn't afford it anymore. I loved his. He was so good for my hips. Like, holy. My hips felt so good, babe. [00:37:15] Speaker A: I like how cool. [00:37:16] Speaker B: I need my alcohol. [00:37:17] Speaker A: Responded to my joke. And then you just went off on a separate tangent. [00:37:21] Speaker B: Yeah, it's okay. [00:37:22] Speaker C: It's okay. [00:37:26] Speaker A: I. I said don't call the chiropractor back. They fixed them. Like, don't. Don't call, you know, a chiropractor back. Yeah, it's fine. [00:37:35] Speaker C: Oh, my gosh. [00:37:36] Speaker B: I don't know. [00:37:37] Speaker C: Quite honestly, that kind of, like, went over my head. [00:37:40] Speaker A: I know. It's a sweet. It's. It's a smart joke. [00:37:42] Speaker B: No, it was a bad joke. [00:37:44] Speaker A: It's okay. You're drunk and high. [00:37:45] Speaker B: This is true. You're just jelly. [00:37:49] Speaker A: Yeah. Let's get on to another story about where someone is overpaid. Florida accidentally paid health care company $5 million instead of 50,000, and the CEO used the extra funds to run for Congress. [00:38:06] Speaker B: This is Texas. [00:38:08] Speaker A: Yeah, this is Florida. [00:38:09] Speaker B: Nuh. [00:38:10] Speaker A: Florida is suing a health care company after accident, paying it over 5 million instead of the 50,000 with execute with accusations that the extra funds were used by the CEO to run for Congress. This is back in 2021. I. I love these. [00:38:27] Speaker B: So pre covered. [00:38:28] Speaker A: No. [00:38:29] Speaker B: What year was Covid? [00:38:30] Speaker A: 2020. [00:38:31] Speaker B: Yeah. So 2019 is pre covered. [00:38:33] Speaker A: This is 2021. [00:38:35] Speaker C: 21. [00:38:38] Speaker B: All right, I give up. [00:38:39] Speaker C: It wasn't 2019. It was 2021. [00:38:42] Speaker B: Oh, did I get the 19? [00:38:45] Speaker A: No idea where you got the 19 from? [00:38:47] Speaker B: I got it from the COVID Okay. [00:38:48] Speaker A: Just. Florida division of emergency management contracted Trinity Health Care Services to assist in registering residents for COVID 19 vaccinations. So after Covid, that's where you got. [00:39:02] Speaker B: The 19 from. [00:39:05] Speaker A: And they actually. They actually paid them $5.7 million instead of the 50,000, you know, to kind of help them out. And so despite this error, the funds were not returned, and similar overpayments totaling more than $5.7 million occurred within that period. The issue resurfaced in 2024, when Florida Department of Emergency Management formally demanded repayment. According to the lawsuit filed in Leon civil Court, Trinity knowingly accepted the inflated payments during the pandemic, when the state was operating under emergency conditions. At the time. Trinity CEO Sheila McCormick, who later ran for and won a seat in Congress. [00:39:55] Speaker B: Damn. [00:39:57] Speaker A: McCormick now faces unrelated ethics complaints. While the state claims her property failed to fulfill its obligations to return overpaid funds. McCormick is now accused of using a portion of the money from Florida's Division of Emergency Management to fund her 2021 congressional campaign. The current CEO, Edwin Sherfilis, has declined to comment on the case. Trinity took advantage of the state of emergency the entire country was enduring during the COVID 19 pandemic and knowingly possessed an invoice with more than 100 times its typical invoice size, according to the state's lawsuit filed in Leon civil Court. I kind of hope that this lady goes to jail. Like, that's theft. That's. That's a lot of theft. Like, if I was to go steal, you know, $500, I would go to jail. She stole, you know, like, 4.9, like, $5 million. Honestly. She stole $5 million, used it to run for Congress, and, yeah, I mean, she should just be in jail, but she's not gonna go to jail. [00:41:20] Speaker B: How much money really is 5,000, 5 million? Is it really that much money? [00:41:25] Speaker A: A lot to me. [00:41:27] Speaker B: Fair enough. If it's a lot to you, then it's a lot more to me. [00:41:33] Speaker A: I mean, if I had $5 million, I would, you know, put it in stocks and, you know, get 10% back, you know, every year and just keep it running. But I don't have that. So, yeah, I mean, you know, good for these people that, you know, took advantage of a shitty situation, you know, someone up somewhere and, you know, they got to, you know, kind of win a bit, and I. I love this fucking. Goddamn Florida story. Oh, God damn it. I went to a gun show today. I got home and fell asleep for, like, hours. [00:42:31] Speaker B: Two and a half. Two hours and 23 minutes. [00:42:35] Speaker A: I don't even know why. I wasn't even tired. [00:42:37] Speaker B: You came home and you napped. Naps are good. I tried to nap with you, but my brain was too busy. [00:42:47] Speaker A: But. So a Florida cop was watching pornography on his phone when he slammed his patrol car until a vehicle stopped ahead of him. According to an internal affairs report that accused the deputy of initially lying about the accident, the 1:45pm Crash occurred two months ago at Lake county intersection, which prompted the cop to resign his post in the midst of the Office of the Professional Standards Review. Oh my God. Tristan McComber, 28, initially offered various explanations for his distracted driving. He claimed to be on the phone with another officer at the time of the crash and contended that the squad car had mechanical issues. That he would go on to claim that he had been exchanging texts with a fellow officer. However, investigators reviewed dash cam and body cam footage that contradicted the deputy's story. The video recorded in the cruiser's steering wheel airbag deploying momer telling the 63 year old female motorist whose Toyota CR Corolla he hit my brakes locked up. The Florida. The Florida Highway Patrol report prepared at the time of the November 6 crash stated that Macomber seen it right, was inattentive and drove into a careless and drove in a careless or negligent manner. The estimated damage to the police vehicle was 10,000 while the damages to the 2023 Toyota were calculated at $5,000. Damn right. Imagine buying a brand new vehicle and then a cop crashes into you. [00:44:41] Speaker C: I try to get away with it too. [00:44:44] Speaker B: Obviously you get the short stick. [00:44:46] Speaker A: I would sue them hard. Macomber initially admitted that he was on his phone looking at inappropriate pictures which he further described as pornographic materials like boobs or whatnot. I love that. An investigator added he was looking at images that contained nudity. As for why his car had been defective anti anti lock braking system. McComber admitted that it was more of a deflection than a general reason for the vehicle crash comer's hesitancy to admit the pornography viewing. He said he was lying by admission. The internal fair probes said he was violation in violation of several professional standards including departure from the truth and that prohibited use of electronic device. He had become a Sheriff's deputy in 2021. [00:45:45] Speaker B: Wait, so he was looking at porn on his work phone? [00:45:48] Speaker A: He was looking at porn on his personal phone while driving a cop car. He became a cop in 2021 and in you know, 2023 or 2024 crashed that. [00:46:02] Speaker B: Have you seen the video of where it's like a dash cam but like the back of a truck and like the dude hits the cart in front of him but it's because he's getting a blow jobs. Like the dude hits the car and then like the girl like pops out of nowhere? [00:46:15] Speaker A: No. [00:46:15] Speaker B: Oh my God. It's amazing. You have not seen that. [00:46:18] Speaker A: I mean I might have but you know I see a lot of videos. I love that. California is burning down and we're under snow. But St. Louis has a national French Toast System alert. [00:46:40] Speaker B: Like the Waffle House system. [00:46:43] Speaker A: It's even better than that. Let's see. [00:46:52] Speaker B: French toast is gross. I don't care what anybody else says. That shit's nasty. It's like monkey bread, but somehow worse. [00:46:59] Speaker C: What is gross? [00:47:01] Speaker B: Soft bread. [00:47:02] Speaker A: French toast. So that's. [00:47:08] Speaker C: So that's what I've been craving. [00:47:10] Speaker A: The National French Toast Alert System. The. The temperature is currently 28 degrees. It looks like it might be time to run the store to buy some milk, bread, and eggs, which is, you know, what you need for French toast? [00:47:29] Speaker B: French toast, you're supposed to use, like, old bread. Like, the way you make, like, fried rice. Like it's shit left over from the previous day. You're not supposed to make French toast with fresh bread. [00:47:41] Speaker A: Yeah. The temperature in Colorado springs is currently 27. [00:47:45] Speaker B: Fuck that noise. [00:47:46] Speaker A: But yeah, it's the National French Toast Alert System and it's french toastalert.com and if it's cold, it'll tell you to go to the store to get, you know, ingredients for French toast. [00:48:01] Speaker B: Why are there strawberries in the picture? [00:48:03] Speaker C: Have you never had strawberries can be on French toast? [00:48:07] Speaker B: Okay, I've never. Every time. Okay, my. My dad used to make French toast and it was so disgusting. And then we go out for breakfasts and they'd always order French toast and force me to eat it, and it was so gross. I hate French toast. [00:48:23] Speaker A: Well, you've never had good French toast then, clearly. [00:48:25] Speaker B: But I refuse to. Even if it was good, I refuse to acknowledge it as good. Soggy bread is gross. [00:48:33] Speaker C: Oh, my God. [00:48:33] Speaker A: But yeah, now this is going to be like my number one fucking weather app. You know, it tells me what the temperature is and if I should go get milk, bread and eggs. [00:48:46] Speaker B: I'm not denying that this is an awesome weather system, but I will not eat French toast. [00:48:52] Speaker A: Well, like, let's see, what is, like, let's see, zip code for LA? Oh, 9001. I know. [00:49:09] Speaker C: I found my keys. Damn, I lost my keys. [00:49:13] Speaker A: Oh, that's the worst. [00:49:15] Speaker C: I know, right? I have to go to the bathroom. [00:49:23] Speaker A: So in LA, it's currently 57. Not too bad. Looks like you're safe for now. Good news, la. Looks like you're safe for now. You don't need any fucking. [00:49:47] Speaker B: You're safe from having to eat French toast. [00:49:50] Speaker A: What's cool is, like, you can cook it all on the sidewalk and you have a fire right there and, you know, search cooking. And what I'm finding really amazing is there is looters in California that are going to houses that are going to burn anyway, and they're just looting all the stuff out of the house and just stealing everything. And I'm like, I mean, it was gonna burn anyway. [00:50:17] Speaker B: Precisely. [00:50:18] Speaker A: I'm like, yeah, I don't know. [00:50:22] Speaker C: Well, maybe if it doesn't burn, then I'd be angry. [00:50:26] Speaker A: But, like, if your house burns to the fucking ground and someone loots everything out of it beforehand, you know, is it really stealing? I mean, it, it was going to burn. Like, you, you're out of the house, you got all your important. But if they come in and steal, like, your TV and all that, and, like, then your house burns, that TV was going to burn anyway, and so they just relocated to somewhere safe and now they get to, you know, enjoy it. [00:50:53] Speaker B: You have a valid point. I'm not mad at anything you just said. [00:50:58] Speaker A: Like, you know, people are like, they see, like, it's always like, videos of black people fucking doing this shit. I'm like, yeah. I mean, let them have it. You know, like, it's the same thing with, you know, stuff that's in the trash. Like, fucking people that go into, like, you know, trash cans. Like, dumpster divers. Like, like, get out of here. Get. You know, they're like, defending their trash. Like, a manager always come out and be like, get out of here. This is our trash. [00:51:28] Speaker B: I thought, well, man's trash is another dude's treasure. [00:51:31] Speaker A: Yeah. I mean, it is like. And a lot of the times, like, people will go into trash cans and they'll be all locked up. You have to go pee. Yeah, okay. And it will be insane because, like, a manager will come out and try and chase them away or call the cops because they're stealing trash, which, which I find ridiculous. You know, let people have it. But they're like, well, no one's going to buy our stuff if they, you know, take our trash. It's like, yeah, that. Then don't, like, sell it for less. Like, this is a damaged item. You can take 50% off instead of trashing it outright and just say you trashed it to, you know, the manufacturers and just pocket that money. I, I, I feel like that that's a legitimate thing to do. Like, if I can go into a harbor freight and there's, like, a damaged box, it's like the box is all up. Everything inside of it's good, but the box is 50% off, so we don't have to throw it in the garbage. And it's like, boom. Yeah. Hell yeah. I'll pay 50% off. I'm going to throw away the box anyway. I don't care. You okay? [00:52:45] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:52:45] Speaker A: No, I'm not talking to you. [00:52:47] Speaker B: Okay. [00:52:48] Speaker C: Oh, are you talking to me? [00:52:49] Speaker A: Yes. [00:52:51] Speaker B: Sorry, I. [00:52:52] Speaker C: My back has been hurting and so I got in a position. In a different position. On the bed? Yeah. [00:52:59] Speaker A: I mean like you brought your phone. Like it was like a horror movie or something like. Oh my God. [00:53:04] Speaker B: I'm sorry. [00:53:05] Speaker A: Someone's in the house. Someone's here. And we don't have guns because we're in California. [00:53:11] Speaker C: What are you talking about? Oh, yeah, I guess we don't really. [00:53:15] Speaker B: I mean, do you have like. [00:53:17] Speaker C: Dad, we had one gun, but it was like one of those. It was almost like a BB gun, but not. It should. It shot different stuff. Yeah, it was like a weird thing. [00:53:30] Speaker A: Of, you know, one, two. [00:53:32] Speaker C: Oh, a pellet gun. [00:53:34] Speaker A: Yeah. No, I. I have guns that will kill people. I have guns that'll blow fucking holes in people. No problem. Ready to go? Ready to rock. Well, let's go into. Am I the. It's almost at the end. Am I the asshole? By district sentence 26. Am I the asshole for not wanting to drop charges on a 10 year old kid that beat up my 9 year old at school? Some background. My kids go to a school where over 90% of the student population are refugees, immigrants. We live in a neighborhood that is under the same circumstances as my kids. School cut to yesterday. My 9 year old girl was out at recess. She was playing basketball with some friends. This bully walked up behind her, pushed her to the ground. And when she was getting back up, the kid kicked her in the head like it was a soccer ball. My wife went out to check my girl out of school. She'll be okay, but I hope she has scratches on the side of her. She. She'll be okay, I hope. But she has scratches on the back of her head, the black eye, and it's swollen. School principal said he'd handle it later. Later he called my wife and I separately and asked us to drop the charges because the student doesn't understand what they did wrong. I told the principal, if the school isn't going to discipline the bully, I will call the police department and file charges. Am I not. Am I the asshole for not wanting to drop charges on a 10 year old kid? No. Fucking ruin that kid's entire goddamn life. You come to this country and get a fucking chance and you know now you're gonna fuck it all up. [00:55:18] Speaker B: So was the bully white? [00:55:26] Speaker A: Probably not. I mean it's like kind of a fitting duty chance. I mean, like, they don't bring up, you know, what race anybody is. And I feel like that that's for a purpose. [00:55:43] Speaker B: What the is the point of suspension anyway? I don't understand why it's like a bad thing. It's like, oh, I don't have to go to school for a while. Fuck yeah. That's my only perspective. I don't understand how it's a punishment and here. And I understand that's my only perspective. [00:56:03] Speaker A: I mean, like, I feel like most of the kids that are bullies, you know, as children have like a tougher home life, you know, but like, I wasn't one to really, you know, get bullied, but I was kind of like a bigger kid anyway. [00:56:21] Speaker B: Okay. We all know you were the bully. [00:56:24] Speaker A: No, yeah, yeah, I. I wasn't really a bully. [00:56:28] Speaker C: He probably wasn't. He was a fat Mexican kid. [00:56:33] Speaker B: Yeah, I do have pictures. [00:56:35] Speaker C: Dynamite T shirts. [00:56:37] Speaker A: I mean, like, Like I remember in elementary school, like, me and my friend James, we'd sit there making nasty soup. [00:56:46] Speaker B: Wait, is James the dude who had, like, the depression, so he eats like soup off his chest bones. [00:56:53] Speaker A: He. Open heart surgery. He's the James that we went to his house and everyone got drunk. [00:57:00] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:57:03] Speaker A: He's awesome. He has like his own law firm now, actually. [00:57:07] Speaker B: Remember that? That's cool. [00:57:09] Speaker A: Yeah, no, he, he's. He's 100% awesome. [00:57:12] Speaker B: How did that become a long term memory? [00:57:15] Speaker A: I don't know. It was a good night. But yeah, I've known him since we were kids. And like, we'd sit there, like at school and like, take straws and put them through our hot dogs and make like, littler hot dogs. [00:57:30] Speaker B: Ew. [00:57:31] Speaker A: I know it was called nasty soup for a reason. We'd like, take peas and mash them up and like. [00:57:36] Speaker B: Where'd you get the bees? [00:57:38] Speaker A: Peas. P E A S. I know. [00:57:40] Speaker B: Where did you get them from? [00:57:41] Speaker A: Lunch. [00:57:43] Speaker B: They serve legumes at school. Lunches? [00:57:45] Speaker A: Yes, they serve peas. Green peas. Yes. And, like milk. And we'd pour it all into, like little trays we got and like, like shoot like snot rockets into it and just like make it the nastiest we could with the time we had. Yeah, like, we'd eat like, majority over lunch, but, like to make like a little nasty soup. Then like, I. I remember like, one kid, like, threw his retainer away and then like, unbeknownst to us, we, like, threw like the nasty soup on top of it on top of this kid's retainer. [00:58:24] Speaker B: And it's like, what's the retainer? [00:58:26] Speaker A: It goes in your mouth, it straightens out your teeth. [00:58:28] Speaker B: Oh, that sounds nice. [00:58:29] Speaker A: Yeah. And it went right on top of his retain. Because you can't eat food with a retainer in. [00:58:38] Speaker B: Didn't you used to have one? [00:58:40] Speaker A: I did back in the day. [00:58:41] Speaker B: Okay. [00:58:42] Speaker A: And yeah, we just like threw all that like right on top. And it felt so bad because he like, you know, immediately realized Kim running back and he saw what had happened. He's like, no, the nasty soup on anyhow. [00:58:58] Speaker B: With the hot dog noodles. [00:58:59] Speaker A: With the hot dog noodles. Yeah. It was a good time. [00:59:06] Speaker B: Sure. [00:59:06] Speaker A: Kids. We're kids being kids. [00:59:09] Speaker B: This is true. I'm pretty sure at once I made someone's dupe. Like there was like, I forget what the it was called, but my mom said it was miner's lettuce. So I had to go out and pick it and like eat it all the time. It was something because my mom said it was food. And a lot of times all the food in that house was like, I couldn't eat it. So I had to go out and find other food I could eat. I feel like my parents purposely bought food I couldn't eat. [00:59:40] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:59:40] Speaker C: I mean, did they just buy cheap food? [00:59:44] Speaker B: I don't. Well, like they bought food like I couldn't eat. Like Courtney, you know, like there's like a lot of food like I can't eat. [00:59:51] Speaker C: What food? [00:59:53] Speaker B: Like a lot of food. [00:59:55] Speaker A: She can't name any of it, but she can't eat it. [00:59:57] Speaker B: Yeah, I know. I'm a little too high right now. [01:00:01] Speaker A: Okay, but let's go into the comments of this plant princess. No, don't drop the charges. Why? Because the 10 year old doesn't understand what he's done wrong. This is the point of negligent parenting and or serious mental problems, both of which won't be addressed if you don't. If you drop charges. Because if you do, it'll be business as usual, then another kid will be kicked and the damage will be so much worse. Something needs to be done. Pressing charges is the best way to make sure people do something. Exactly. Dropping the charges only sweeps the problem under the rug. A 10 year old that doesn't grasp with the harm they've caused needs intervention, not a free pass. Holding them accountable forces the system and the parents to address the deeper issues before something worse happens. This is about prevention, not punishment. So yeah, I mean, go through, you know, if they're like five years old, they do something, you know, whatever. But 10 years old and they kick your daughter in the head. Are you fucking kidding me? [01:01:14] Speaker B: How cognizant are you at 10 years old? [01:01:17] Speaker A: Pretty goddamn cognizant, Yeah. I mean there was 10 years. [01:01:21] Speaker C: Unless like you're a really stupid kid. [01:01:23] Speaker A: There are 10 year old kids at our boarding school. [01:01:27] Speaker C: Really? [01:01:28] Speaker A: Yes. I mean like they weren't like, yeah, we defended them. Like nothing bad ever happened to them. [01:01:40] Speaker B: Like according to my parents, I didn't start talking until 5. Like is that normal or is that delayed? [01:01:45] Speaker A: That's delayed. That's way delayed. [01:01:47] Speaker B: So when did kids normally start talking? [01:01:49] Speaker A: I got two. [01:01:50] Speaker C: Maybe one. It starts at one. Oh, you're supposed to start talking at one. [01:01:56] Speaker A: You say words at one, but you don't know what the you're saying. At like two. You're like mom and dad, you know, saying you know what you're saying. [01:02:05] Speaker C: I think, let me see. I, I, they used to have developmental stuff that they used to go through and you check them off to see if they were developing correctly and stuff like that. [01:02:21] Speaker B: Like I remember when my parents were like pulling me out of school, they told me it was because I was going to have to be held back a year. [01:02:29] Speaker C: No, Alex, your grades were so good. No, it was because your teachers wanted to do testing. [01:02:36] Speaker B: Oh, okay. [01:02:37] Speaker C: Because you were autistic. [01:02:39] Speaker B: Yeah. [01:02:40] Speaker C: Yeah. You don't remember? [01:02:42] Speaker B: No, I don't. [01:02:43] Speaker C: Yeah, you told me about it. Your parents pulled you out because they said you were autistic. [01:02:50] Speaker B: Oh, so like my parents were told the truth and they denied it? [01:02:54] Speaker C: Yeah. [01:02:55] Speaker B: Oh cool. [01:03:00] Speaker C: Yeah, that, that My mom ended up going on a whole tirade about how ADD and ADHD weren't real. [01:03:07] Speaker B: Oh, I'm sorry, darling. [01:03:10] Speaker C: Yeah, I wish that I really had gotten evaluated. Yeah, because like you can definitely tell. [01:03:16] Speaker A: Like the, I mean you can still go do it. You can still go to a doctor, get evaluated and then get it. Yeah, justified. So, but now on to relationship advice by apprehensive bus 128. I love the random names that Reddit gives people. My 19 female boyfriend, 20 male eyes scare the crap out of me. I do not know what to do from here posting on my spam because my man's on Reddit. My boyfriend and I have been together for six months and I have known and been friends with each other since we were 17 and 18. I mention this because it's relevant, but it has never ever been abusive or manipulative, either verbally, physically or emotionally. Never even a hint of any of that nonsense. We're both very level headed people. So no crazy fights, screaming or anything like that that we view as disrespectful. There are some disagreements and stresses as we are long distance and pursuing different paths in life at the moment, but we have a very healthy relationship. Now here's the main issue, and it's kind of insane sounding, but I don't know. A couple months ago, we were having a civil disagreement about something and he is glancing at me from the corner of his eye and speaking to me. The look at his eyes genuinely scared the shit out of me. It's not about the eye color or anything like that. It's the look. You know, you hear about the soulless eyes that serial killers have. Like, like no joke. That was 100% there. I haven't ever gotten that something is wrong, you need to run feeling before with anybody else. It's obviously wasn't anything inner intentional on his part, but he was speaking very calmly and I immediately stopped disagreeing and just accepted whatever he was saying because I was so unnerved. I didn't mention anything to him and I just ignored it. The next time we disagreed about something, the look was back and I genuinely got frightened. I just agreed with whatever he was saying. This doesn't happen every time we disagree or argue, but it happens enough to question whether I'm safe with him. I know a lot of people say this on this app, but it's. He's actually an amazing partner to me and I'm very happy with him. I'm just looking for advice on what to do next and how seriously I should consider this feeling. [01:05:38] Speaker C: What the. [01:05:39] Speaker A: So this guy has like crazy serial killer eyes. I mean, if you break up with someone because, like, they have, you know, crazy eyes. Yeah, yeah, that. That makes you like, a little bit insane. But yeah, it is your brain recognizing a threat. Oh, look at that. [01:06:00] Speaker B: There's so much left out of this. Like, what the. This is so little information to go on. [01:06:06] Speaker C: I feel like there might be other red flags. [01:06:09] Speaker B: There's got to be other shit. When people start off saying, oh, my relationship's perfect, and then delve into thing, it's like, nah, honey, you are deluding. [01:06:18] Speaker A: Yourself, girl, I'm gonna say this. That's your intuition. That's what that's called, intuition. And your brains, you know, your subconscious notices something that's trying to tell, you know, your, you know, conscious self and you are ignoring it. [01:06:41] Speaker B: And also she's submitting. But, like, this is a power play and it's gross. [01:06:46] Speaker A: But here's what to do. You're young. You're 19 and he's 20. [01:06:50] Speaker B: Oh my God. [01:06:50] Speaker A: You've known each other for what, two years? You know, and you're going in different directions in life and you're long distance. It. [01:06:59] Speaker B: Yeah, now is the time. [01:07:01] Speaker A: Cut it off. Yeah, like, hey, I think we should see other people and just keep it moving. I mean, you're still, you know, a teenager technically. Like you. You. You're not able to drink alcohol. What if like he starts drinking alcohol and then it gets crazy? [01:07:21] Speaker B: Teenagers are drinking alcohol. What do you think? What do you. Okay, long distance is a make or break. Like how long were you long distance? [01:07:28] Speaker A: For a while. [01:07:29] Speaker B: A while. Exactly. It's a make and break type thingy. But this is weird. [01:07:37] Speaker A: Someone else had like a longer goddamn comment. Holy. This, this, this. This is a longer comment than the actual post was. [01:07:48] Speaker B: Okay, good. Cuz OP has not posted enough information. [01:07:52] Speaker A: Well, no, this is not op. This is somebody else exactly. Had the same thing. Good. He needs spail and apparent. Like I'm. I'm like, you know, going through. He'd look at her with a hate eyes. At this point I didn't believe he hurt me physically. And it turned. It was nine months and then like he beat the out of her. So. Yeah, I mean, like, honestly, Op, you know, go ahead and get out of there. I mean, he's still young. Whatever. [01:08:34] Speaker B: Your intuition is correct. Bail. [01:08:38] Speaker A: You know, let. Let him grow as a person. There's a lot of dudes out there, a lot of good dudes. So yeah, OP on out. So. But that, that's gonna be it for this episode. We'll be back next week, same time, you know, same kitty laying on me. I know. Mochi. [01:09:04] Speaker B: Oh, when did you acquire a momo? [01:09:07] Speaker A: I mean, she's been here for a minute. [01:09:09] Speaker B: She's quite content. [01:09:11] Speaker A: I mean, she comes in, claws into. [01:09:13] Speaker B: Me and I know I need to trim her nails. Sorry, I can't find my nail trimmers. [01:09:17] Speaker A: She's fine. Her nails don't hurt. She like. She's like not like in my skin. She's like. [01:09:23] Speaker B: She's catching on the blankets when she makes biscuits. [01:09:26] Speaker A: I mean she, she likes doing this so she can sit at an angle and you know, not slide down, but she just likes being comfy. But yeah, we'll be back next week, same time, same. All that bullshit. And maybe I might actually play in something. Who knows? [01:09:48] Speaker B: By.
