[00:00:00] Speaker A: Alrighty. Alrighty, everybody. Welcome back to another episode of the human podcast. So good. My cat left. She was, you know, being needy. Well, you didn't leave all the way. You can leave all the way right now. She's trying to guilt trip me. I don't care. But this is a human podcast. I'm your host, Alex Truck. We got my wife, not the truck. And this week we do have Courtney. Yeah, my wife is sitting back there just drinking a beer. [00:00:34] Speaker B: It's not a beer, okay? [00:00:37] Speaker A: She's drinking a liquid out of aluminum can. [00:00:40] Speaker B: It's a tiny can and it tastes like shit. I'm real mad. [00:00:45] Speaker A: My wife goes out and buys random beers. [00:00:49] Speaker B: This isn't a beer. [00:00:51] Speaker A: What is it, a cider there? [00:00:52] Speaker B: No, it's a fucking Cosmo sip. It tastes like. [00:00:54] Speaker A: No, I'm good. [00:00:56] Speaker B: So mad. [00:00:57] Speaker A: I don't drink Cosmopolitans. [00:01:00] Speaker B: I'm really unhappy with it, but I paid for it, so I'm going to drink it. [00:01:08] Speaker A: What I do have is margarita, so I'm going to just drink my Margarita while we do this podcast. Yeah, it's Margarita, like a glass jar that I got from Sam's club. [00:01:22] Speaker B: Is it good Margarita? [00:01:24] Speaker A: No, it's like, it's like half ass margarita. [00:01:30] Speaker B: You got what you paid for? [00:01:31] Speaker A: I, I, I got like a sugary drink with like a splash of tequila. [00:01:38] Speaker B: Sugar is good. [00:01:40] Speaker A: Like sugar makes the hangover worse. [00:01:43] Speaker B: Sugar makes your brain happy, but not the rest of your body. Sugar's like really bad for us, actually. [00:01:53] Speaker A: Yeah, sugar is like the worst thing for us. [00:01:55] Speaker B: It's like breathing oxygen. We're slowly being poisoned by it. [00:01:58] Speaker A: It's fine. But next week I will be busy all weekend long. So they're, you know, we're not going to record anything. I, I have a lost episode that I have to like go and find now and then upload. [00:02:14] Speaker C: Oh, my. [00:02:15] Speaker A: Yeah, because like we, we did an episode and it was like a pretty good episode. And then I, I just never got around to uploading it. I'm like, yeah, whatever. It can be a lost episode. [00:02:26] Speaker C: Oh, my. [00:02:28] Speaker A: So I, I, I always know that there's gonna be like weeks that, you know, nothing happens. [00:02:37] Speaker C: Yeah. Oh, I had drama this morning in the family. Group chat. [00:02:45] Speaker A: That's why I don't have. [00:02:46] Speaker C: It was so funny. Yeah, everyone saw the train wreck of my sisters going at each other. [00:02:55] Speaker B: It's entertaining. [00:02:57] Speaker C: Well, my sister's mad at my mom for like, not really watching a riot. And Ariah got scissors, I guess, and cut her hair. [00:03:08] Speaker B: All kids cut their hair with scissors. [00:03:10] Speaker C: I did yeah, no, I have like a freaking short ass haircut. When I was like two or three or something, I cut my hair and. [00:03:18] Speaker B: Then I cut Max's hair too. [00:03:22] Speaker C: You know what, I started cutting my hair and then my sisters finished and then they tried to play it off. They told my mom and dad that I did it all when really they fucked it up even worse than I did by trying to fix it when they should have just gone to my parents and been like, she cut her hair. Oh my God, so annoying. [00:03:47] Speaker A: I need to get a haircut. And like I, I'm looking at super cuts because like, they have wide open availability. And like, I, I hate that because I'm like, if it's not a little bit difficult for me to get in, do I want to be there or are they just gonna up my, like, I don't know, like, I haven't been to like a super. I haven't been to like a chain like barber shop in forever. [00:04:23] Speaker C: So I like it because usually they put notes on what your hair, what haircut and what, how they cut your last time into your file. So even if you get a different person, like, they know what you got and like they're all trained to do the same type of. [00:04:39] Speaker A: Oh, yeah, no, like anybody that's cutting hair, yeah, you have to like actually go to school for it. And I do understand that. But at the same time it's like, you know, it's like the Swift of truck drivers. Like, for those that don't are not aware or, or uninitiated. Swift is a trucking company that will pay to get you your CDL and then fucking rip you off. And then they have the worst training out of anybody. And you know, you can start with Swift and if you get out, awesome. But there's people that stay there forever and they're just like the worst train truck drivers. And we all make fun of them all the time. You know, Swift stands for sure wish I finished training and like that. Like they're bad truck drivers just all around. And you can ask any of your truck driving friends and you know, be like, hey, what do you think about Swift? And they'll be like, oh, what do I think about Even people that work for Swift, like Swift, you know, it, it's kind of a shitty company. But you know, they, they've, you know, they're a mega carrier at this point and there's nothing anyone can do about it. So you just have to like be, oh, they exist, you know me, I guess. But yeah, I mean, like, normally I go to, like, these, like, barber shops that have, like, two to three chairs. And like, that's it. And it's like, yeah, go sit there for 30 minutes while we, you know, finish up all these other people in front of you like that. Like, that's the shop I want to go into. I want to go into a place. There's like, you know, hey, you have to wait because I'm in demand and I know what I'm doing. [00:06:38] Speaker B: My hair salon doesn't take walk ins. You have to be scheduled. [00:06:44] Speaker A: Yeah, there's like, one place that they only do walk ins. Like my favorite barber. They only do walk ins. You cannot schedule. And the way it works is there's, you know, chairs that go, like, you know, around, like, half of the, you know, room. And there's two chairs. That's it. Boom, boom. Two chairs. And you sit in order and then you move down the line. Just move down the line. Move down the line. So when, you know, the next person gets up, everyone gets up and moves the chair down. And it's awesome. But, you know, the previous owner of it, she retired. And now I'm like, I don't know if I want to go there anymore. I'm like, it's like, lost its magic. I haven't been there since, you know, Ms. Patty retired. She was my only barber for years. Just like, my wife has, like, her. Her stylist. [00:07:47] Speaker B: Yeah, I'm going nowhere. [00:07:51] Speaker A: So I'm like. But I might just, like, do super cuts. Like, I'll see if it's, like, cheap if I get in there. And that's like $70 for a haircut. I'm like, oh, yeah, that's why you're empty. Go fuck yourself. [00:08:05] Speaker B: Good haircuts. Expensive, though. [00:08:08] Speaker A: I'll pay 50 bucks for a haircut. 50 bucks all in. You know, it takes 30 minutes to cut my hair. So you're making a hundred dollars an hour per chair. Yeah, that. That's insanely good money. [00:08:27] Speaker B: So when I get my hair colored, I get the. I get the haircut itself at $50, but by itself it's 70. [00:08:35] Speaker A: Yeah, no, like, I. I just have a dude's hair, you know, I just. I'm like, just chop off the top, you know, chop off the sides. [00:08:43] Speaker B: And yet you won't let me cut your hair. [00:08:46] Speaker A: No, I will not let you cut my hair because you're gonna fucking, like, go in too deep and, like, create a bald spot. And then I'm just gonna get mad and then shave my entire head. [00:08:56] Speaker C: Oh, my. Yeah, please don't shave your head. [00:09:00] Speaker A: I used to have. I used to be like, bald, like all the time. [00:09:04] Speaker C: Yeah. Show me a picture and like. Yeah, I don't think you'd look good bald. [00:09:13] Speaker A: Yeah, I mean, there's pictures of me online that you know of me. [00:09:16] Speaker C: Really? [00:09:16] Speaker A: Yes. [00:09:17] Speaker B: Like all the school pictures I have of you. Have. You have hair on. [00:09:20] Speaker C: Yeah. What the are you talking about? Oh, maybe I haven't even. I haven't even looked at your account, I think, though. [00:09:26] Speaker A: No, nobody ever does. [00:09:31] Speaker C: See this. [00:09:31] Speaker A: A lot, a lot. You know, you can. You can see it. It's there. I don't even think I have my Facebook. [00:09:42] Speaker C: Wow. You have the photos of the house on there, right? [00:09:48] Speaker A: What? What. [00:09:51] Speaker C: Of like a house? [00:09:53] Speaker A: Of a house? [00:09:55] Speaker C: Yeah, it looks like a house. Is it your guys's first house when you guys bought it or. No, it doesn't look like it. No. This is 2014. [00:10:10] Speaker A: Are you looking at my Instagram or my Facebook? [00:10:13] Speaker C: Facebook. [00:10:15] Speaker A: Yeah, my Facebook. Like, way at the bottom. You know, I have like a picture somewhere of me with like, no hair. [00:10:26] Speaker B: Oh, my God. [00:10:27] Speaker A: I know. Yeah, there's some horrible in here. I should probably delete most of it. [00:10:33] Speaker C: Oh, my God, you look so skinny. I don't see it. [00:10:42] Speaker A: Yeah, there. That's the picture right there. [00:10:45] Speaker C: Send me the picture because I can't see it on your account. [00:10:49] Speaker A: Yes, you can. [00:10:49] Speaker B: Oh, God. [00:10:51] Speaker A: It's under your photos or, you know, his photos or however it says. [00:10:56] Speaker C: Okay, photos and then tagged photos, photos, albums or videos. [00:11:04] Speaker A: It's not tagged photos. It's. There's photos of you, your photos, and then albums, albums. [00:11:11] Speaker C: Is it part of an album? [00:11:14] Speaker A: No, it's just under like your photos. It's at the very bottom. Like, if you see like, you know, like there's like a picture of like my godson there, you know, at the very bottom. [00:11:30] Speaker C: Huh? [00:11:30] Speaker A: It's at the very bottom of it. Yes. There's like my old store that I used to work at, manage, and that's at the very bottom. [00:11:41] Speaker C: I wish I could screen share with you guys because I'm not seeing it. [00:11:44] Speaker A: Yeah, I can screen share. I forget I can do that. [00:11:47] Speaker B: Oh, my God. You photo of us. Photos of us from college. [00:11:51] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:11:51] Speaker C: Yeah. Oh, my God. I can't believe it. They drew a dick coming. At least they didn't draw it on your face. [00:12:01] Speaker A: Yeah, like that's me being bald as. [00:12:09] Speaker B: Sometimes. Yeah, I used to have brown hair. Wow. [00:12:16] Speaker C: You looked okay there because your face was skinny, but now it's fat. Yeah, you would not look good bald. [00:12:24] Speaker A: Yeah, this Is like me right out of military boarding school. [00:12:29] Speaker C: That is so funny. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Guys, I'm so sorry. I ate before and now I have to go to the bathroom and I can't wait, so give me a sec. [00:12:40] Speaker A: Okay, well, go to the bathroom, and if you're sitting, you know, loud, then you know it'll be recorded on the podcast forever. Unless you mute your mic now. She just left her phone. [00:12:53] Speaker C: Oh, I'm right here. [00:12:56] Speaker A: Okay. Yeah, so. [00:13:01] Speaker B: I can't believe you have so many photos of us. [00:13:05] Speaker A: I just don't delete. It's fine. I also don't add people on Facebook anymore. [00:13:11] Speaker B: Yeah, there's a reason why I don't smile that wide. [00:13:14] Speaker A: It's fine. But last week, you know, after we did the podcast, we. I had. The entire time that we were doing the podcast, I had the pool heating up because I went out and bought myself a tankless water heater that ran off of propane. And so for a few hours it was just running and, you know, dumping hot water into our little fucking pool that we have out in the backyard. And then we get out there and, like, the pool is, like, nice and warm. I'm like, oh, this is the perfect dinner. [00:13:50] Speaker B: Oh, so good. [00:13:51] Speaker A: And we're just sitting there and the pool is just gradually getting warmer, just better and better. Just like, because, like, I didn't turn off the, you know, heat pump for the pool at all, and it just turned into a hot tub. And I realize I'm like, do I want a fucking hot tub? [00:14:14] Speaker B: I want a hot tub. [00:14:20] Speaker C: They're just so relaxing. [00:14:22] Speaker B: They're the best. [00:14:24] Speaker A: Yeah, but here's the thing. You know, a hot tub runs off of electricity, and that electricity bill on a hot tub is expensive. Like, let, let, let's see. [00:14:35] Speaker C: I'm sure there's some type of propane powered hot dub. [00:14:38] Speaker A: No, really, Propane powered hot tub. [00:14:44] Speaker C: That's what I'm looking that up too. [00:14:48] Speaker A: It just gave me a propane paired hota hot propane. Let's. Let's go to Amazon, see what they give me. Oh, Jesus Christ. These are expensive. [00:15:10] Speaker C: Oh, yeah. [00:15:11] Speaker A: And yeah, now all of them run on electricity. Yeah, let's see. Average electricity bill for a hot tub. The average electricity bill for a hot tub typically ranges from 30 to $100, but can vary significantly based on factors like your local electricity rates, hot tub size and efficiency, the ambient climate, and how often you use it. Modern energy efficient models and mild climates may cost less, potentially around 20 to $50 per month. While light Larger hot tubs and colder climates with high usage could cost much more. [00:16:00] Speaker B: No. [00:16:02] Speaker C: Portable propane hot water tea. Okay. What the. That is so annoying. [00:16:10] Speaker A: I mean like that, that's not too, actually terrible. Except for the fact that a hot tub costs a billion dollars. Hot tub. Here is information from Modernize. Yes. [00:16:28] Speaker B: Okay, so are we getting a hot tub or are you going to get the massage chair first? [00:16:34] Speaker C: Oh my God. You're gonna get a massage chair. So how will you have room for it? [00:16:38] Speaker B: Oh my God, Courtney. He's infatuated. And I'm so, I'm super excited. [00:16:44] Speaker A: Like, okay, so I, for this Colorado State Fair, we went out and, you know, we told this story last episode, but we went out and bought ourselves a new bed because our, our bed is like a decade old and it's held up. It's held up also Weinstein's, you know, but I'm like, I, okay, I want a new bed, you know, because, you know the bed's old and you know it's breaking down, you know. [00:17:13] Speaker C: So you guys didn't get a hundred dollar one from Walmart? [00:17:16] Speaker B: Nope. [00:17:16] Speaker A: Why would I get a hundred dollar bed from Walmart? That sucks. Like, I, I know, right? I, I do have air mattresses and I'm like, nah, I'm not doing that. [00:17:27] Speaker C: Well, the one in the spare bedroom is. That's how much it was. [00:17:32] Speaker A: This one was a hundred bucks. [00:17:34] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:17:35] Speaker A: Ain't too bad. [00:17:39] Speaker C: Yeah, I found it so uncomfortable. It's not good for side sleepers. [00:17:45] Speaker A: I mean, it's good for, you know, people that wanna, you know, show up. And I'm like, hey, here's a bed for you. [00:17:54] Speaker B: Yep. [00:17:57] Speaker A: Like what, what is the. I, I hate when like they don't give me like the dimensions of the hot tub in the pictures. [00:18:07] Speaker B: They're sexy. [00:18:11] Speaker C: Usually they do it by how many people can fit in there. [00:18:14] Speaker A: This is a six person hot tub. [00:18:16] Speaker B: We don't need that big. [00:18:18] Speaker A: Like all I want is, you know. [00:18:22] Speaker C: Give me, you know how a four person hot hub. [00:18:28] Speaker A: Well, I, I don't need a four person hot tub. I just need, I don't know that. [00:18:31] Speaker B: Would they go smaller than a four person though? It is a square. [00:18:35] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:18:35] Speaker C: So when I visit, you don't mind if I kick one of you out. [00:18:39] Speaker B: Courtney, obviously it's just going to be you and me. [00:18:44] Speaker A: Oh, okay. So it, it is 85 inches by 85 inches. [00:18:51] Speaker B: This is a six person one. [00:18:54] Speaker A: Yes. This is the big ass one. Yes. [00:18:56] Speaker B: Do you want a big one or do you want just, or you want just big Enough for us. [00:18:59] Speaker C: So it's around seven feet. [00:19:03] Speaker A: Yeah, let's see. Yeah, little over seven feet. But you know, like I have to also take an account to the room that I have, you know, in the enclosure that I have and do I need a permit to install it and all that? Kind of. But yeah, it's gonna take 50amps and it's only 400 gallons. That ain't too bad. But it's 650 pounds. God damn, that is a heavy tube. I don't know, I might like ask my dad about it because he's had a hot tub for a long time. I'm like, hey, you know, what do you think about the hot tub? Because you know, I, I, you know, went over to his house and me. [00:20:07] Speaker B: And Heather literally got in the hot tub, you know. [00:20:10] Speaker A: Yeah, yeah, it has a hot tub again. So I, I might, you know, pick his brain about it. I'm like, is it worth it to get a hot. Cuz I already have everything to make. You know what I have a hot tub, technically. [00:20:29] Speaker C: Oh, well, why don't you make your own hot tub separate from your pool. How much was your pool? [00:20:35] Speaker A: 100 bucks. [00:20:37] Speaker C: Yeah, can't you just. [00:20:39] Speaker A: I, I'm not looking to spend $7,000 on a hot tub. Yeah, like realistically I'm like, ah, never mind. [00:20:48] Speaker C: Well look, they have this outdoor portable gas heater. [00:20:52] Speaker A: Yeah, no, I already have one of those. [00:20:54] Speaker C: Yeah, you can use that to make your own. Right? That way you don't. It can run off of propane. [00:21:01] Speaker A: Yeah, no, that, that's what I have. I have, it's essentially a propane powered shower that can run off of a hose, but I have a pump for it and you know that that's what's running all of it. So I don't know, like, I'll figure it out. You know, do I get a, you know, just a bigger propane tank and then just hook that up and you know, hope for the best. [00:21:34] Speaker C: Oh, and know what I wanted? [00:21:42] Speaker A: You know, like I can get like these cheap ass ones from like Walmart which are like 300 bucks, you know, and you know, temperatures. It's a Square, you know, 74 inch hot tub. So. [00:22:06] Speaker C: Yeah, you can look up how to. You can probably cut holes and do the piping like you would a build your own one. Like one of those in ground one. Oh, why would you get an inflatable one? They don't really work. They only blow air bubbles. [00:22:25] Speaker A: No, they, you know, blow heat. [00:22:27] Speaker B: Well, can't we hook the water heater up to that and then get it up to temperature. We want maybe. Cuz I was thinking we could just do that. [00:22:37] Speaker C: Yeah, you can, you can buy hot tub control systems. [00:22:41] Speaker A: Well, I. I'm not where it. I'm not going to, you know, go out and do all this right now. Yeah, you know, eventually, maybe. Because honestly, like, I could probably, you know, go through and just build a tub out of like concrete and. [00:23:02] Speaker C: Yeah, yeah, that's basically what the thing is. [00:23:06] Speaker A: Just go build a tub, you know, out of, you know, concrete and wood and, you know, put it all together. That way it has, you know, like, like seats that are all built in and have like underwater cushions or something. I don't know. But yeah, it's 1300 watts, 10amps. Yeah. Now, you know, we'll see what happens, you know, in the future, like after, you know, everything is done. I'm bored, you know, and I don't have any more projects. I can probably be like, okay, we're gonna do this now, but let's get into some fucking stories because I'm sure that no one wants to hear about pools and hot tubs and all that. [00:24:06] Speaker B: Babe, pass me a beer. [00:24:08] Speaker A: Your. Your real beer this time. [00:24:11] Speaker B: My real beer. That was disappointing and I'm sad. [00:24:15] Speaker C: What did you drink? [00:24:17] Speaker B: I got this Cosmopolitan and it was like in a can and like, some of the ingredients I knew I would like, and of the ingredients I didn't like and like. [00:24:26] Speaker C: Yeah, dingle. [00:24:30] Speaker B: Yeah, I know. [00:24:32] Speaker C: I got my grandma one and there's only one good flavor so far. [00:24:36] Speaker B: Yeah, I made a mistake. [00:24:39] Speaker C: Like, I got a multi pack of like Captain Morgan's mixed canned mixed drinks. And it's got strawberry daiquiri, passion fruit, something mango Mai tai, and a strawberry margarita. And my grandma's tried three of them and only one of them has been good so far. And that's the daiquiri. [00:25:04] Speaker B: I don't care for my ties. [00:25:09] Speaker A: I just care. I. I just care for your ties. [00:25:12] Speaker B: Shut up. [00:25:14] Speaker C: Oh, wow. [00:25:15] Speaker A: I know, I'm great. [00:25:17] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:25:19] Speaker A: But let's talk about this Polish millionaire, Piotr. I know I misspelled, misspoke his name, but I don't really care. There is a Polish millionaire that owned a, like, paving business that went to the US Open, a tennis match. And one of the tennis players was handing a hat, like directly handing a hat to a little kid, you know, like signing it and handing it to the little kid. And like this, you know, grown man comes and rips the hat out of this dude's, out of this kid's hands, essentially hands it to his wife and all smiles and is, you know, laughing and going on, you know, online, on social media back. Ha ha. All of you. That kid was too slow. You know, you're all, you know, it. [00:26:19] Speaker C: Was already in his hands. Dick wad. Yeah, he stole it, and he should be charged with theft. [00:26:26] Speaker A: Well, what. What's awesome is the tennis player found the kid and, you know, gave him, you know, a hat and a bunch of other goodies and, like, actually, like, met with them and, you know, they, like, hung out a bit, and, like, it was all good. So, like, the kid was made whole. But, you know, now this CEO is mad because, you know, people found out who the he was. You know, they found a company that had the same name and started harassing them. And, like, that company had to come out and be like, hey, we're not the same people as that. We have nothing to do with him. Here's you know, who he is, and here's his website. [00:27:08] Speaker B: Excellent. [00:27:10] Speaker A: Yeah. And so now they. They went to his website, started bombing his reviews, and now he's, like, at one point, two stars on his whole business. [00:27:22] Speaker B: Oh, stocks are crashing. [00:27:24] Speaker A: I mean, he doesn't have stocks. He just, like, is, like a paving company, like, a local paving company. But, you know, he's not getting any jobs because, you know, everyone knows who the he is. And, you know, it's like him and his wife that run the company, and now he's like, I can't get any more jobs, and he's bleeding money, hemorrhaging money quick. And now he's, like, going online and back, you know, apologizing and being really upset and big. I'm sorry that I did a little. [00:27:54] Speaker B: Too late, my dude. [00:27:57] Speaker C: It sucks because all the people he employs are because of him. [00:28:02] Speaker B: That part does suck. I agree with you. [00:28:07] Speaker A: Yeah, but it's like that. That's what happens. It's like, hey, you know, your boss is being a dickhead. You know, y' all should abandon ship. You know, same thing. Like, you know, if you're being a, you know, and you get caught, you know, being out, like, say, at Arby's or something like that, and you're screaming at the person behind the counter, and your company gets hold of that video, they're gonna fire you. [00:28:35] Speaker B: It's not hard to not be a dick. [00:28:39] Speaker A: But when you're in America, you got it. You know, when in America, do as the Americans do. [00:28:44] Speaker B: That is an awful phrase, but it is accurate. [00:28:50] Speaker A: So, yeah, people are like, you know, reposting his Video and, you know, I don't know if you are seeing this video. [00:28:59] Speaker B: Hear me, I have not seen the video. I've just heard about it. [00:29:03] Speaker A: Yeah. Share it. So here he is. [00:29:08] Speaker C: Yep. [00:29:09] Speaker A: It's like, can't. You know, the kid's like, what the. And he's like, smiling and, you know, takes a hat and just puts it in his wife's bag and she's all, you know, smiles and cheers and. [00:29:25] Speaker C: Jesus. [00:29:26] Speaker A: Yeah, he had like, the kid's pen and everything. And he hands the pen back and he's like, the kid's all pissed off. [00:29:33] Speaker B: As the kid should be. [00:29:35] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:29:38] Speaker A: So, yeah, that. That guy's whole business is, you know, eating dicks. [00:29:44] Speaker B: Would people be as upset had he stolen it from an adult? [00:29:49] Speaker A: No. [00:29:50] Speaker C: No. [00:29:51] Speaker A: Yeah. Absolutely. No. Like, but it was a child. It was a kid. And it's like, yeah, yeah. People are like, I'm not gonna use your service because you might steal from me too. But, yeah, he, like, deleted his Instagram and all kinds of shit. I'm like, well, you know, you don't do that shit in America. You might be able to get away with it in your own country, but here in America, we record every everything. And people online are good at being online and finding out who the you are, so. Or you can just go back to your country and pretend like nothing happened and then, you know, just continue doing your business and, like, yeah, whatever. I got a hat and a hat that it'll never use either. Like, I've never seen someone that has, like, you know, hats, like, you know, on their wall, like, yeah, this is my. My hat from a famous tennis player I played in the US So I can't name, like, a single tennis player. I don't know any of them, nor can I. I'm like, if. If it's your thing, if it's your jam, then, yeah, enjoy it. But, like, I don't care. And if, like, I met one of them, like, hey, yeah, I'm a world famous tennis player. I'm like, oh, cool. And like, that's it. [00:31:21] Speaker B: That's literally what my reaction would be, too. [00:31:25] Speaker A: Yeah. I'm like, I. That I'm not gonna be like, oh, you're. You're famous in tennis? Wow. Well, like. And there's nothing more obnoxious than people that are, you know, slightly famous in something that you don't give a about, and they want you to give a about it so much. Like, I am the world famous badminton player. I'm like, I don't care. I don't Watch badminton. It's like, I'm the best in the whole world, though. Don't you want my autograph? I'm like, I literally could want nothing less. It's like, I don't want your autograph. I don't care who you are. Do you want to buy me a beer at least? No. You know, if you're obviously a world famous badminton player, you should have enough money to buy a beer for reals. But, like, when the kangaroos show up in Durango, holy. People go insane. Like, like there. There is a. Like this dude that has kangaroos, like multiple kangaroos and like, raises them. I don't know what the he does with them, if he sells them or what. [00:32:47] Speaker B: I'm assuming he slaughters them for meat. [00:32:52] Speaker A: I mean, I have no idea. [00:32:54] Speaker B: There's kangaroo cat food. [00:32:57] Speaker A: Yeah, I mean, there. There was a. A business in Durango in the town that sold like, kangaroo, but, you know, like the king. [00:33:05] Speaker B: There you go. [00:33:06] Speaker A: They don't grow fast enough for them to do that. But the kangaroos, like, have escaped a few times. And like, every time they do, like, the news shows up with the police. [00:33:18] Speaker B: What did the police do? [00:33:21] Speaker A: They pick up the kangaroo and take it back to its house. Like, everyone knows where the kangaroos are from. [00:33:28] Speaker B: That's true. [00:33:30] Speaker A: Let me see. Durango kangaroo. Yeah, Durango police, you know, get. Get the kangaroo for the second time. Just pick it up. [00:33:51] Speaker B: At my bio parents house. The people down the road, they had emus. And every now and again, one of the emus would escape shape and he'd come up or they. I don't know what the gender was. They'd come up to our property and we named him George. And so every now and again, George just like, showed up in our backyard. And we called the neighbor and he had come up and collect George. I don't know if that was the emu's real name, but we called. We called it George. [00:34:19] Speaker A: Yeah, they just pick it up and toss it in the back of their truck. [00:34:25] Speaker B: The kangaroo shit in the cop car? [00:34:27] Speaker A: Yeah, probably not. Like, like anytime they have like, baby kangaroos, they come around town and like, bring the kangaroos. [00:34:36] Speaker B: Like the bar, like juveniles. [00:34:39] Speaker A: Yeah, that's a tiny kangaroo. [00:34:40] Speaker B: Yeah, it's a very small kangaroo. [00:34:44] Speaker C: Bullshit. [00:34:47] Speaker B: I mean, I know those fuckers get big. Like, I've seen the video of the dude waltzing up and just uppercutting the kangaroo. [00:34:55] Speaker A: It punches the kangaroo, has a dog. He's like, fuck off. Give me my dog back. And the kangaroo is like, what just happened? Like, unhurt Just surprised. Yeah, no, just like this. Just hit me, Mr. Roo. [00:35:14] Speaker B: Okay, so there's a thing called the invisible fence for dogs. And what it is, it's a call you put on the dog. And either when they go past a certain point, either it makes a noise or it shocks them. And one time, and the owner told us this too, like, I'm not making this up, like, because she brought the dog in afterwards, but a coyote had snatched her dog around the neck. But when it went past the limit, the shock collar shocked the coyote, and so he dropped the dog and ran off. And she brought the. And she brought the dog to us, who didn't. Had minimal injuries. Like, he was just fine. [00:35:47] Speaker A: Oh, yeah. Like, the initial bite, you know, to carry it off is not going to do too much damage, because if it does, then it can, you know, draw too much blood and draw too much attention to the new location where that coyote is going to take the animal to kill it. [00:36:02] Speaker B: Like, it was one and only time where I was like, oh, a shot collar actually did a good thing for once. [00:36:07] Speaker A: Or offense for once. [00:36:09] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:36:10] Speaker A: Or keeping your dog inside and, like, you know, taking your dog out and walks. Like, don't keep your dog inside all the time. Like, if you don't have the. [00:36:19] Speaker B: God, no. [00:36:20] Speaker A: Ability to take care of your dog, like, don't get one. But yeah, take your dog out on walks. Take it like. Like that. That's like, my favorite thing is, like, to see, you know, people out with their dogs. Dogs are always happy. [00:36:32] Speaker B: I like it best when they're a good body condition. Score. [00:36:37] Speaker A: Yeah, No, I just. I like seeing happy dogs, so. All right, next story. Oh, I. I love this because I feel like I can, like, relate with it. Four hikers rescued after suffering debilitating psychedelic mushroom high while in mountains for hike. [00:37:01] Speaker B: That sounds awesome. [00:37:04] Speaker A: Yeah, I mean, like, if you're gonna go do your first time on mushrooms, don't do it outside. [00:37:10] Speaker B: Oh, absolutely not. [00:37:11] Speaker A: But four hikers were rescued in upstate New York after they got lost while experiencing a debilitating psychedelic mushroom high over the labor day weekend on August 29th. The hikers were on side mountain wilderness near Giant Ledge. That's a bad place to be while tripping on mushrooms. [00:37:31] Speaker B: Room. [00:37:32] Speaker A: Yes, next to a giant ledge. Jesus Christ. They were hiking from, you know, 1100ft. And when they sent a text message reporting that they were lost, the caller told dispatchers the group had consumed mushrooms and one individual was experiencing debilitating high. [00:37:54] Speaker B: What the. Was hyperventilating. [00:37:56] Speaker A: Yeah, probably right. You know, Freaking out. [00:38:00] Speaker B: Dude can't handle his. [00:38:02] Speaker A: Yeah, of course not. Oh, looks like he himself too. [00:38:05] Speaker B: Oh, yeah, that's sad. [00:38:08] Speaker A: The group had also lost their car keys during this, so the rangers provided a courtesy ride to the hikers rental lodging. [00:38:18] Speaker B: Why is it every time I've shot myself I've been sober? [00:38:23] Speaker A: Called being old. The following day, officials returned to the area and located the sling bag containing the missing keys under a log and tall ferns. Wow. [00:38:34] Speaker B: Nice. [00:38:34] Speaker A: These guys are great. [00:38:36] Speaker B: Yeah. Now, that skill right there. They didn't use a dog or nothing. [00:38:40] Speaker A: According to the Alcohol and Drug Foundation. Silos. You know, fucking psychedelic mushrooms can affect all the senses, altering a person's thinking, sense of time and emotions. Psychedelics can cause a person to hallucinate, see or hear things that do not exist. How do you know they don't exist? What if, you know, taking the mushrooms just allows you to see the things that do exist? [00:39:08] Speaker B: It's literally, you're just transit. You're just transitioning between, oh, my God, I lost my words. Planes of existence, like, you're just moving around them. There's nothing wrong with that. [00:39:26] Speaker A: But yeah, good. Good for these guys. [00:39:28] Speaker B: Did they bring mushrooms or did they find mushrooms out in the wild and eat them? [00:39:32] Speaker A: Oh, they brought mushrooms for sure. [00:39:33] Speaker B: Okay. [00:39:34] Speaker A: I'm sure they, like, went out and, like, we're gonna all do mushrooms. And like, one dude's like, I took too many mushrooms. And then he, like, goes, like, back home and tells the stories. Like, dude, I took like so many mushrooms. Like, how much do you take? Like, like an eighth? [00:39:50] Speaker B: Is that a lot? [00:39:51] Speaker A: No. [00:39:52] Speaker B: Okay. It's like an eighth of a shroom. [00:39:56] Speaker A: An eighth of an ounce. Of mushrooms? Yes. Of dried mushroom. [00:39:59] Speaker B: How much is an ounce or how much is a hit? [00:40:02] Speaker A: An eighth. [00:40:04] Speaker B: Okay. [00:40:05] Speaker A: I mean, like, you know, like, usually like an eighth to a quarter is like an average, you know, dose, depending on the strain of mushroom. But, you know, do your research. Like, if you wanted to go out and do mushrooms, you know, be my guest. But you know, be of age, be responsible and do your fucking research, you know, before fucking just going out and back. Oh, you know, I got these fucking, you know, wild, you know, mushrooms. It's crazy, you know, it's like, well, what are they? It's like, oh, they're golden teachers. You know, it's like, learn your shit. [00:40:54] Speaker B: As far as I'm concerned, the best part of tripping is being without pain. [00:40:59] Speaker A: Yeah, I. I hope these guys, you know, got charged like a load of money, though. [00:41:05] Speaker B: Yeah. If you're going to be A loser. I'm heating on his dude when I have absolutely no idea what he experienced. And it's kind of judgmental on my part. [00:41:15] Speaker A: Yeah, you, you've, you know, done drugs outside. Just imagine having to like walk around. [00:41:21] Speaker B: My God, I wish I had been able to walk around instead of vomiting half naked in the campsite. [00:41:27] Speaker A: Nope. You're fully clothed. [00:41:29] Speaker B: I was, yeah. Christ, at least feel a little bit better. But I was still on my hands and knees in the campground vomiting at 3am in the morning. [00:41:37] Speaker A: Yeah, it's fine. [00:41:38] Speaker B: It was not fine. [00:41:42] Speaker A: But on. On to the next story. Push that one to later. Surgeon jailed after amputation of all own legs. [00:41:53] Speaker B: A. Yes. I respect this dude. Oh my God, so much respect. National Health System. [00:42:07] Speaker A: National Health Service. [00:42:08] Speaker B: Oh, I was close. [00:42:10] Speaker A: A National Health Service vascular surgeon who had his own legs removed has been jailed for two years and eight months for insurance fraud and possessing extreme pornography. [00:42:24] Speaker C: What? [00:42:28] Speaker A: This is crazy. Neil Hopper, 49, of Turo, Cornwall, carried out hundreds of amputation operations before having his own legs removed. In 2019, Truro Crown Court heard that he lied to insurance claiming that his injuries to his leg were the result of sepsis and not self inflicted. [00:42:49] Speaker B: Oh, so props to this dude. [00:42:53] Speaker A: It heard that in May 2019, Hopper had below the knee amputations after a mysterious illness. In fact, that he had used ice and dry ice to freeze his own legs so they had to be removed. The court heard that Hopper, who admitted it's the two counts of fraud and. And three counts of possessing extreme pornography had a sexual interest in amputation. I don't see anything wrong with that. [00:43:22] Speaker B: Wrong with that. Wait, is that wrong of me? Okay. There are very few things important that I feel like are truly wrong. It's just like, that's fucked up. But you do you boo. [00:43:32] Speaker A: I mean like, if it was like child porn, I'm like, that's something that's different. And they would say that. But, you know, I'm sure it was. [00:43:40] Speaker B: Like, you know, okay, I thought this dude had done the surgery himself and that's why I was like, this dude's fucking cool. But if he didn't do it himself, I'm really disappointed in the title. Like, if I had to amputate one of my limbs, I'd be the one to do it. Yeah, amputations are cool as. I love amputations. [00:44:04] Speaker A: There's like, I don't think you could like really, you know, like he just put like ice and dry ice to, you know, damage his legs. [00:44:11] Speaker B: Yeah, but I thought he did like the Procedure himself. Like doing the cuts, moving the ligaments and the tendons and the bone. [00:44:17] Speaker A: I don't think you would be able to handle that. [00:44:19] Speaker B: Well, I'm assuming he had a block. [00:44:23] Speaker A: The fraudulent insurance claims from two firms totaled more than half a million. [00:44:32] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:44:32] Speaker A: Jesus. He had messaged friends claiming he could milk it. He enjoyed the interest from the media. In his case, his motivations were a combination of obsession with removing parts of his own body and a sexual yes, in doing so. [00:44:48] Speaker B: Yes, I so dearly want to cut off some of my fingers, but you won't let me. [00:44:55] Speaker A: Yeah, don't do that. [00:44:56] Speaker B: You don't understand. [00:44:57] Speaker A: Understand because I never. [00:44:59] Speaker C: You're so weird, Alex. [00:45:00] Speaker B: No, no, no, no, I'm not weird. You guys just don't understand how much I hate my fingers. This is like, apart from the paint. [00:45:08] Speaker C: I don't think having less fingers is going to help you. [00:45:11] Speaker B: No, I. I would just get. Okay, no, no, no, no. [00:45:14] Speaker C: I don't think it's going to help you, Alex. [00:45:17] Speaker B: Middle of my middle finger and my ring finger and then I just have three fingers and three is my second favorite number, so it'd be great. [00:45:25] Speaker C: No, not really. You drop even more stuff than you do now, Courtney. [00:45:34] Speaker B: I don't like my fingers. [00:45:36] Speaker C: Yeah, you need your fingers though, you weirdo. [00:45:39] Speaker B: I mean, I feel like once they get them tattooed and they have some pretty art on them, I might like them more. But right now I still really hate my fingers. [00:45:47] Speaker C: Yeah, get tattoos, you weirdo. [00:45:51] Speaker B: I like being. [00:45:52] Speaker A: Gosh, yeah. Like, what if you get like tattoos on your fingers and it's like, you know, it says like love and hate, and then you like get like your pinky chopped off and just says love hat. And it's like, I love hats. [00:46:03] Speaker B: That's amazing. I do love hats. I bought a hat box today. I now have four hat boxes. Aim to have more. [00:46:16] Speaker A: Yeah, originally I clicked on this story because I thought this dude chopped off his own fucking legs. [00:46:20] Speaker B: That's what I thought. [00:46:22] Speaker A: And now I'm like, way, you know, like cuz he's getting a fucking insurance payout for it. [00:46:27] Speaker B: Fuck yeah. [00:46:27] Speaker A: And so that's why he's in trouble. Like, that's why he's going to jail. [00:46:31] Speaker B: Oh my God. [00:46:31] Speaker A: Like that. That's it. Yeah. [00:46:32] Speaker B: Okay, I'm not quite sure. I hate on insurance fraud, your milk in the system. I mean, you're milking the system. Is that a dummy in the background or just a naked dummy in the background? Okay. Why does it have tits? [00:46:50] Speaker A: Because women have tits. And maybe you Know, they need to, you know, have people that have experience with tits. Yeah, like that, that, that's like. I, I feel like doctors just see so many tits. Like, they get home and they're like, wife like, whips out like, her tits. And like, the doctor's like, yeah, I've seen, you know, better tits than you want a dead woman today. It's like, oh, no. [00:47:16] Speaker B: Well, you don't tell her that. [00:47:22] Speaker A: But I, I feel like the doctor. [00:47:23] Speaker B: Would be like, wait, if you saw, if you saw enough tits, you would think that mine are boring. [00:47:30] Speaker A: If you saw enough dicks. You think my dick is boring? [00:47:34] Speaker B: All dicks are boring. [00:47:37] Speaker A: See, like, you know, I, I have like, you know, male friends that'll like, send me like, you know, just random penis pictures of themselves. No, like, like, of like, just like other dudes. I'm like, this is hilarious. I, I love that you're doing this. Like, like my friend Connor, you know, like, he. We originally like, had plans, like, fucking meet up on yesterday, but I didn't make it back to Cortez because I had a fucking busy day. And so I texted him, I'm like, I ain't making it. Ain't no fucking chance. And so he started sending memes back and forth and he sent me a fucking picture of like, Barack Obama, like, spread eagle with a boner. [00:48:25] Speaker B: Whenever I hear the name Barack Obama, I just remember the chick who named her llama. Baracko Llama. And so I just hear Barack Obama every time. [00:48:34] Speaker A: Yep. No, it was just, it was like a, AI, you know, face swapped image. [00:48:39] Speaker B: Obviously it's AI, you know, and. [00:48:44] Speaker A: Just like this dude, like, you know, hard dick and just like, you know, spreading his ass. I'm like, okay, cool. [00:48:49] Speaker C: He. [00:48:54] Speaker A: But yeah, now this guy's like, way less impressive now. And he's just like, I, I like, you know, amputation porn. And I don't think he should have gotten in trouble for having amputee porn. [00:49:06] Speaker B: I also don't think so, especially if he was making home videos. [00:49:10] Speaker A: Like, like, I, I've seen some crazy in my day and I'm like, oh, I, I didn't know that that was a thing, you know, but, you know, good on you, girl, for sticking your stump in that dude's ass. Oh, holy. We already burnt through a whole bunch of time and this is like the most California story I have seen in a while. And Orange county woman could face up to six years in state prison for improperly registering to vote under her dog's name and then casting two ballots, one of which Is counted. [00:49:56] Speaker B: Okay, why do we arrest people for fucking ballot frauds when the voting system's already controlled by the government? [00:50:06] Speaker A: Well, like, because, you know, California and Colorado, we have like mail in voting and Trump's trying to get rid of that, but it's neither here nor there. But a 62 year old Laura Yorix faces five felony charges related to voter fraud for registering her dogs to vote. [00:50:31] Speaker B: Why is it more than one felony charge? [00:50:34] Speaker A: I'm sure they just stack on fucking charges. Yeah, like it turns into a whole fucking nightmare if you ever get charged by the police. Don't get charged by the police. [00:50:42] Speaker B: I have no desire to be so. But I cannot make any promises, but. [00:50:46] Speaker A: According to the Orange County District Attorney's office, your ex, I love that that's her name. Your ex submitted mail in ballots under the dog Maya Jean. Your ex, her dog's name. During the 2020, 2021 Goober national recall election and the 2022 primary, the first ballot was successfully counted while the second was challenged and rejected. [00:51:15] Speaker B: How are votes checked? [00:51:19] Speaker A: They just like, how do they know. [00:51:22] Speaker B: It'S a fake vote? [00:51:24] Speaker A: Oh, they don't. They're just know count it. So like, say if, you know, someone gets, you know, their ballot mailed to your house and you, you know, check up, you know, whoever you want and then sign it under that person's name and mail it in. They'll count it and be like, yep, that's right. [00:51:41] Speaker B: Oh, is that why you can't use my ballots? [00:51:43] Speaker A: That's why I can't use your ballots. That is a felony. That is, you know, mail fraud. But you know, if you were to do it, then yes, I like, I can be like, hey, you should probably vote for this person. [00:51:59] Speaker B: I'm not gonna vote for nobody. [00:52:01] Speaker A: Well, I. It doesn't matter. [00:52:04] Speaker B: Precisely. It doesn't fucking matter. [00:52:08] Speaker A: So just, you know, vote anyway because like, you don't have any other options. [00:52:12] Speaker B: Did she put the I voted sticker on her dog? [00:52:16] Speaker A: That'd be hilarious. Put it on her dog's collar. I voted. Yeah, but last October, your ex self reported the crime to the Orange County Register of Voters. [00:52:27] Speaker B: Fuck she do that for? [00:52:28] Speaker A: Which in turn reported it to local authorities. I don't know. She's dumb. She's a Californian. Like all these Californians are dumb. The investigation was launched, determined that your ex had registered Maya Jean to vote, participated in two elections, and then posted about her activity on social media. In January 2022, she posted the photo of her dog wearing a I voted sticker posted with the fraudulent ballot. In October 2024, she posted the photo of the dog's collar and the mail in ballot addressed to her, saying that she still received them despite the dog's previous passing. [00:53:12] Speaker B: I'm sorry she lost Maya. That's sad. [00:53:15] Speaker A: Well, good. She's gonna be in prison so she can't take care of the dog anyway. [00:53:18] Speaker B: That's a good point. [00:53:20] Speaker A: She has been since charged with five felonies, including perjury, offering a forged document, casting a ballot when not entitled to, registering a non existent person to vote. She is due in court next week. [00:53:35] Speaker B: Wait, what's the fifth one? There's perjury, forged document, casting a ballot and registrating. What's the fifth one? [00:53:44] Speaker A: Probably two counts of perjury. [00:53:46] Speaker B: Okay, what does perjury mean? Does it mean lying? [00:53:52] Speaker A: Yeah. Yeah. In order to register to vote in California, an eligible voter must fill out a form with identifiable, identifiable information, political preference and attest to the citizenship under penalty of perjury. While California elect code does not require proof of residence or identification for citizens to register to vote or cast a ballot in state elections, proof of register, residence and registration is required for first time voters to vote in a federal election. Yes, Mo, you need to say hello to the people. Say hello to the people. Say hello. There we go. Yeah, I mean, like, this is like, you know what us Republicans are bitching about all the time. It's like, you know, this lady was able to have her dog vote. [00:54:53] Speaker B: What if Munchie could vote? [00:54:57] Speaker A: Should vote for Kanye west or something stupid like that. [00:55:01] Speaker B: Is Kanye west still alive? [00:55:03] Speaker A: Yes, of course he is. Oh yeah, he just put out a insanely racist song. [00:55:09] Speaker B: Oh, I don't listen to his. [00:55:12] Speaker A: It like it's some of his worst work and some of his best work. [00:55:19] Speaker B: I don't listen to any stuff by him. I just voted for him because my vote doesn't matter. [00:55:25] Speaker A: His song got taken off of Spotify. [00:55:28] Speaker B: I did it for the Reddit points. [00:55:30] Speaker A: He didn't do it for the Reddit points. [00:55:33] Speaker C: Wait, whose song got taken off of Spotify? [00:55:36] Speaker A: Yays, Kanye West. [00:55:37] Speaker C: But he goes, oh yeah, because he's stupid. Idiot. [00:55:43] Speaker A: Well, I mean, you know, he. He's made a song hailing Hitler. [00:55:47] Speaker B: He literally named his kid north. [00:55:49] Speaker C: So. [00:55:55] Speaker A: Yeah, but. But the beats are right on that song. All right, like I. I gotta admit that, like, you know, I'm not even gonna pull it up. They'll probably get the whole podcast taken down. All right, but we got some relationship advice. This one is not between, you know, boyfriend and girlfriend and like but little brother. So by throwaway, my 27 female little brother, 22 male, joined a pro life group for young men. I'm considering cutting ties. My 27 female little brother, 22 male, has been struggling with loneliness for years. I've told him that if he wants to stop being so lonely and maybe get a girlfriend, he needs to actually go out and do something with his life. Stop playing video games, watching anime, vaping in his room and try and better himself as a person and actually go outside and connect with people, get healthy hobbies, go volunteer instead. He recently found meaning in the church. Not a bad thing. It is unfortunately a very right wing church and he has become very passionate about it. Our family grew up lightly Christian, but drifted away from religion over time. His pastor told them that they've been seeing a new phenomenon. Lots of young men like my brother are joining the church more than ever, especially from nearby universities. And the church is very excited about it. They want to organize them for something meaningful. A few of those churches in the area have put together a group of young men, mostly college age, to defend the unborn. They're going to protest outside of providers as a big group. So Planned Parenthood. My brother said that these young males just want to make their voices heard. But it sounds like to me an intimidation task against, you know, vulnerable. I can never see that word. Vernable. Venerable, venerable women. I'm livid. I don't want to support or have someone in my life who does. I know different politics can coexist, but this one is a red line for me for some deeply, deeply personal reasons. Nuclear options available, you know, do I cut time? How do I handle this? Any advice will be appreciated. Just to let you know they this. [00:58:29] Speaker B: Is what happens when you put incels out in the open. [00:58:35] Speaker A: I'm pro life, you know, I don't think you should, you know, kill a baby, you know, just because, you know, you messed up and you know, got pregnant. You know, there are, you know, some, you know, situations where it's like, okay, you know, incest, rape, you know, health complications, you know, are all, you know, good reasons. But you know, it's like, oh no, I got my girlfriend pregnant, you know, have the baby, you know, you can, you know. [00:59:04] Speaker B: If I'd gotten pregnant and wanted to have the baby, you would have stayed? [00:59:07] Speaker A: Yes. [00:59:08] Speaker B: Really? [00:59:09] Speaker A: Uh huh. [00:59:12] Speaker B: So what if I told you I once got pregnant, I had an abortion without your knowledge, how would you feel? Feel? [00:59:19] Speaker C: I don't think you'd care. [00:59:20] Speaker B: Precisely. [00:59:21] Speaker A: I mean, that never happened. How do you Know, cuz you would have told me. [00:59:28] Speaker B: You don't know that. [00:59:34] Speaker A: I mean like if, if you take a plan B, I'm like, that's fine. And you've taken plan B and you've told me about that. Yeah, we don't have any secrets between us. [00:59:48] Speaker B: I mean, we don't, but how would you feel if we did? Would you leave me? You don't want to have kids. [00:59:58] Speaker A: Oh, you just adopt out the kid. [01:00:00] Speaker B: The fuck would I do that for? [01:00:03] Speaker A: To weigh a family that cannot have kids. [01:00:06] Speaker B: You understand how I feel about population control. Of course I would have an abortion. A, because of my beliefs and B, I am not my mother. My trauma genetically ends with me. There will no be genetic. There will be no generational trauma coming now. [01:00:23] Speaker A: We can't have no kids. [01:00:24] Speaker B: So purposely like I didn't just get my hysterectomy because I was in pain and dealing with hemoglobic cysts that burst at random and putting my life at risk. Part of the reason I got rid of my uterus is because I did not want to have kids. And I wanted to make sure that was a possibility. Because you didn't want to get a snip snip, therefore I had no choice. [01:00:46] Speaker A: But you know, as far as this story goes, lady, you know, careful what you wish for because you got it. You know, you told, you know, you told him that if he wants to stop being lonely, he needs to go out and do something with his life. He went out and did something with his life. [01:01:02] Speaker B: He's still going to be lonely though. [01:01:04] Speaker A: Why? [01:01:05] Speaker B: He's not going to get a girlfriend with that kind of attitude. [01:01:08] Speaker A: There's a lot of women that are pro life. [01:01:11] Speaker B: That's true. I mean, and that's okay. No one has to be right or wrong in this situation. But if you're at a point where you're denying women choices, that's when it becomes a problem. [01:01:22] Speaker A: You know, like here, here's, you know, how I truly feel about it. You know, if you're one of these, you know, people that are like, yay abortions, but boo, you know, school violence, you're, you're a dumbass. Because I want both. There's a million babies a year that get aborted here in the United States of America. [01:01:41] Speaker B: God, for that. [01:01:42] Speaker A: A million. [01:01:44] Speaker B: And you get that statistic. [01:01:51] Speaker A: How many babies get aborted in the United states every year? 1.03 abortions in 2023. [01:02:01] Speaker B: All right, you're right. Thank God for that. That's one less 100 million people. Alive. And you're constantly complaining about how there's too many people alive. Oh, I mean, pick a side and stick with it. [01:02:19] Speaker A: I'm, I'm here for, you know, war. Send them all out to war. Send them all out to the meat grinder. [01:02:26] Speaker B: This is what population control is all about. [01:02:29] Speaker A: How about use a condom, do anal, pull out, come on her face, come on her tits. Like there's like a million other ways to, you know, not get. [01:02:37] Speaker B: Pulling out isn't a guarantee. The reason we didn't get pregnant without from pulling out is because my uterus was so deformed it would have been very difficult for us to get, get pregnant. [01:02:49] Speaker A: But you know, if I ever like hit like, if I hit like, you know, 43 and I'm like, I want a child now, then you're going to. [01:02:55] Speaker B: Have to find someone else. Cuz I'm not sticking around for that. [01:02:58] Speaker A: Then I can just like, you know, adopt a child. [01:03:01] Speaker B: That's your child. I'm leaving. I mean, just so you know, you bring a child into a relationship and I am gone. That is a boundary. That is a secret promise to myself, I will never be a mother. So if you want kids at 43, you're on your own. [01:03:26] Speaker A: Let's see. Yeah, but yeah, every town for Gun Safety reported 429 gun deaths on school grounds between 2013 and 2020. [01:03:56] Speaker B: Okay. Would you rather children die before they're born or die being shooted at school? [01:04:03] Speaker A: I mean, I'd rather children not die at all. [01:04:05] Speaker B: Precisely. So they're not even alive until they're born. Like for fuck's sake, it's just a pile of cells doing what they're supposed to do. That's why you don't die when you go into a coma at first. Your body keeps doing what it's supposed to do until it needs assistance. [01:04:25] Speaker A: Yeah, it's like, yeah, school shootings are awful. But if you're gonna sit here and be like, you know, the, you know, 500, you know, kids that died, you know, but you know, not give a shit about the million that were, you know, never given a chance. [01:04:38] Speaker B: What's the difference? Death is death and the important thing is that it happens before they start reproducing. That's when death is key when it comes to population control. [01:04:55] Speaker A: Yeah. Either way, sorry, Courtney. [01:04:58] Speaker C: Or make people dinks like you guys. [01:05:02] Speaker B: Yep. So yeah, she needs to cut ties. He's irreversible at this point. Leave him to rot. [01:05:13] Speaker C: Yeah, sometimes when someone goes like religious fanatic or gets into something Too much. There's really no turning back until they get out themselves. [01:05:26] Speaker A: I mean, you know, going to a church is not a bad thing, you know, and, you know, you have the freedom of speech to say what you want here in America. So, yeah, I mean, if you want to go to an abortion. And also, Planned Parenthood is not where the abortions actually happen. It's separate. It's a completely separate, you know, area. So, you know, like, they'll keep up appearances and be like, yeah, you need to stop doing the abortions. And then not a single abortion happens that building. But it's like when you understand, like, what actually happens during the abortion, they, like chop up a baby and, you know, pull it out piece by piece. It's like, oh, that's awful. [01:06:09] Speaker B: Oh, my God. That only happens later in pregnancy. And that is never a choice. That is an informal, unfortunate ending. [01:06:20] Speaker A: The pro life crowd wants to abort this post. Interesting. [01:06:24] Speaker B: That's hilarious. [01:06:35] Speaker C: Oh, my. [01:06:39] Speaker A: But yeah, I mean, it's just social support. It's just, you know, social things that, you know, people want to do and, you know, cut ties if you don't want to, you know, deal with it or, you know, just, you know, tell them not to talk about it around you. You know, you have options, but, you know, careful what you wish for because you might just get. And then this one is, see. Yeah, we'll do. See how much time we're already over. Am I the for not siding with my wife over our son's ex girlfriend's pregnancy? Her son just turned 16 and his girlfriend, she's almost 17. They broke up a month ago, about three weeks ago there. And the parents were informed by the ex girlfriend's pregnant ex girlfriend's parents that the ex girlfriend is now pregnant. You know, both families met and you know, the son saying that, you know, his girlfriend cheated on him and he never her. Yeah, honestly. [01:08:11] Speaker B: So why haven't they had a DNA test? [01:08:13] Speaker A: They're waiting on a DNA test. So let me, let me read it all. Our son just turned 16 and his girlfriend, she's 16, almost 17. They broke up about a month ago. About three weeks ago. We are informed by her parents that she is pregnant. She is slightly showing the dates line up with my son's relationship. My wife and I went into full panic mode. As you should. We waited a couple days before telling our son, who didn't know. He immediately said, it's not mine. I never fucked her. I didn't believe her. As I know that he is active. He did the sensible thing. And asked me for protection. However he kept saying that they never did it. He said that he said that he cheated on her and had a heart to heart with him and you know he is an absolute shithead. But I began to believe him. He is oh he always raps and asks for restocks. My wife on the other hand still didn't believe him. Both families met. My wife started the conversation by just accepting that our son is the father and was trying to figure out a solution, funding etc My son spoke up and saying it's not his baby as they never had sex. He was genuinely angry and it made a comment that I'm going to rephrase. Apparently they only did a certain act which can't result in a baby and it was unsatisfactory so we never went any further with her. An absolute shithead and we raged. It had him over it. That's funny. His ex girlfriend admits that they rarely did it but explained the event when and where and said it was believable too. I know he is a complete liar, I know he is an absolute dog but I believe him still. My wife however is angry with me for playing into his nonsense. She says I'm a part of the boy culture and she said children born to teen parents are most more likely to be teen parents and we're both 17. When my wife got pregnant she said I'm worsening the situation by not living in reality and she is left to figure out what to do on her own. To her point, I am hands off in further meetings with the family and I don't believe we should have those discussions until it's proven proven that he's the dad. Am I the this is also really ranty but I'm sorry, I need to let off some steam. Just to add her parents don't want to do a paternity test until after the child is born. They said it could harm the baby but apparently it's harmless. So I just don't know if we can get a test done before then. Courts can't order one till birth. Another addition. I'm in the uk. [01:11:05] Speaker B: Oh my God. Just get a path paternity test that solves the whole thing. [01:11:14] Speaker C: Wait, but does she want to take a paternity test? That's the thing because he said that sounds like she can't force one until the baby's born. So he has to wait until the baby's born to get a paternity test. [01:11:26] Speaker A: So to do like a in utero paternity test there are certain, certain risks with it. Yes, low risks, but there are, you know, risks. And every doctor has to, you know, you know, spit fire and brimstone saying, oh, no, this, you know, could happen. That way, if it does happen, you know, they're covered. Like we told you, this could happen. So, yeah, they're. They're probably going to wait for the baby to be born and the mom's probably going to come in and be like, okay, here's a crib, here's this, here's that. You know, we're gonna get everything ready for this baby and then they're gonna go in and do that. [01:12:10] Speaker C: So there's actually a few different types of tests. There's non invasive prenatal testing that, like, you get a blood sample from the mother and there's actually fetal DNA present in the mother's blood. [01:12:24] Speaker B: Because babies. [01:12:25] Speaker C: There's also the one that you were talking about, how they take the invasive procedure, take a tissue sample from the placenta, or you can take a sample of the amniotic fluid, but those two can happen. But starting at 10 and 13 weeks of pregnancy, and then 15 and 20 weeks of pregnancy for the second one, and then the non invasive one can be done as early as nine weeks. [01:13:06] Speaker A: Yeah. So, like, everyone's saying, get a paternity test, don't sign the birth certificate. I can guarantee you, though, that this mom is going to, you know, make sure that this, you know, pregnant, you know, teenager, you know, is, you know, taken care of. Like, the mom of the son is gonna, you know, back this. My ex, you know, my son's ex girlfriend. I'll, you know, take care of her and, you know, get her, you know, things that she needs and help the family out, you know, and even if it doesn't end up being, you know, you know, her grandchild, I'm sure she's still gonna, you know, come out and help because she's like, ah, I know what it's like. I was there. [01:13:47] Speaker B: Yes, she was. [01:13:48] Speaker A: And, you know, I'm like, yeah, fucking empathy is, you know, great. So. [01:13:58] Speaker B: But there's nothing to do until they have the paternity results. Otherwise it's just fingers pointing at each other and that accomplishes nothing. [01:14:09] Speaker A: Yeah. But, you know, we'll see. [01:14:12] Speaker B: And I'm sorry. Teenagers are so stupid. [01:14:14] Speaker A: Yeah, that's what a lot, A lot of other people are saying. Teenagers are dumb shits. Yeah, I. I never had kids as a teenager. Yeah. So name this episode Baby Drama. But. All right, that's it. Thank you so much for being here. We'll Be. I. I'll have the lost episode hopefully up next week. I will be, you know, busy doing, you know, shooting stuff next weekend, so I will not be around. [01:14:51] Speaker C: Yeah. [01:14:52] Speaker A: And if you live in Colorado Springs and you're somehow listening to this, come on out to Dragon Man's the 13th and the 14th. It's 25 to get in, and you get to shoot a whole bunch of guns for free. And you can go to the machine gun range and shoot a whole bunch of big shit. [01:15:11] Speaker C: Oh, my gosh. Oh, my gosh. Didn't. Did you hear about the murder at Burning Man? [01:15:18] Speaker A: It was a murder. Now there's a baby. Well, there's a baby born at Burning man, too, so. [01:15:23] Speaker B: Well, that's dumb. I'm here for the murder. [01:15:27] Speaker A: There was a dude that was, like. Like, burnt or something like that. That. I forgot what it was. He was, like, burnt or fell off or something. Yeah. They're like, you know, calling it a murder. Yeah, We. We covered the orgy tarp last week when you weren't here. [01:15:44] Speaker C: Oh, my God. [01:15:46] Speaker A: The orgy tent blew away and so someone made an orgy tarp. [01:15:51] Speaker C: God. [01:15:52] Speaker A: Yeah. So apparently murders happened at Burning Man. Don't go to Burning Man. It's not great. [01:15:59] Speaker B: Murders happen everywhere. [01:16:01] Speaker A: Oh, yeah, We. We discussed. What was it? Joshua Tree Music Festival. [01:16:08] Speaker B: Oh, yeah. [01:16:12] Speaker A: Yeah, it was Joshua Tree Music Festival. [01:16:14] Speaker B: Yeah, yeah, yeah. [01:16:15] Speaker A: And, like, we're planning on, you know, coming on up there. [01:16:20] Speaker B: Not this year. [01:16:21] Speaker A: Not this year. No. Because it's, you know, way too soon. It's like, next month. Yeah, it's literally, like, in a month, but maybe, like, McCoortney, it's close to you. It's like an hour away from your house. [01:16:33] Speaker C: What is it called again? [01:16:35] Speaker A: Joshua Tree Music Festival. [01:16:38] Speaker B: Oh, wow. [01:16:41] Speaker C: I feel like I've heard of it. [01:16:42] Speaker A: I'm sure you have. I'm sure you've heard it because it's so goddamn close. It's in Joshua Treasure. [01:16:51] Speaker C: Oh, no, it's. It's like, over an hour away. [01:16:54] Speaker A: It's like an hour with the way you drive. [01:16:58] Speaker C: Yeah, I've been driving better because I can't get in a car accident. [01:17:03] Speaker A: Not again. Well, the. [01:17:07] Speaker C: This. This last one wasn't my fault. Someone ran a red light and hit me. [01:17:11] Speaker B: Yeah. Bastard. [01:17:12] Speaker C: And the other one. My first car accident was my fault. Well, the. The one that I was driving the truck in, I accidentally rear ended someone. [01:17:25] Speaker A: Yeah. [01:17:27] Speaker C: Thank God they didn't check my brakes. [01:17:29] Speaker A: Yeah. 72 miles away. So, you know, we'll. We'll probably, you know, just get, like, a little camper or something on my truck and then come on out there. And then, you know, it's just like three days, so. [01:17:44] Speaker C: Oh, so you guys are coming out here and standing around Joshua Tree for it? [01:17:48] Speaker A: Yeah. [01:17:50] Speaker C: Okay. [01:17:53] Speaker B: Oh, yeah.
