We Were Sick

[00:00:01] Speaker A: Alrighty. Alrighty, everybody. We are back. Sorry that there is no episode last week. I was sick. My wife was sick, and we were sick with, like, different things. And it was a mess. It sucked. I was coughing up a storm. Everything was bad. But it's better this week. I mean, I just found out that my bar that I go to all the time, tonight is the last night it's open. Just so you know. Yeah. Like, my main bar, you know, tonight is it. It's last hurrah, you know, it's not gonna reopen. I'm like. And I'm. I'm kind of hoping like, somebody else bought, like, the bar or there's, you know, some going, you know, behind the scenes that, you know, none of us are gonna be privy to until it all happens. But it's like the end of an era, you know, I don't know what it's gonna be. And I. I think, like, because the. The bar didn't own the building, they just leased the building and I don't think they got the lease again, so. [00:01:30] Speaker B: Oh, wow. [00:01:34] Speaker A: And it doesn't, like, have a kitchen or anything, you know, it's kind of. But we'll see what happens. [00:01:42] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:01:48] Speaker A: Yeah. Like, they just spent a bunch of money revamping it. Yeah. I mean, I have other bars that I go to. It's not just that one, but it was like, one of the main ones. [00:02:02] Speaker B: Oh, wow. [00:02:03] Speaker A: So. And now I have to. Now I have to go to other two bars. But, yeah, now. Now I have to, like, go back and like, find out what the happened, like, what went wrong, you know, who up, what happened, or if they're getting sued or something stupid like that, and they have to, like, rename it and reopen it, you know, at a different time where it's like, oh, we're getting sued. Oh, you. And then you just change the name. It's like, well, you sued that place. We're now you. This place, you know, the Star Lights Lounge. It's like, damn. Yeah. No, it's just. It's weird. It's been a weird year. Everything's changing. When everything was like, rock solid for years. And then it's like, boom, Whatever. [00:03:12] Speaker B: People aren't drinking as much. [00:03:15] Speaker A: I mean, Speak for yourself. I was drinking a load like. Like after my friend died. Yeah. We were going out there all the time and getting faced, you know, I, like, I. I would, you know, come back to my hotel blind drunk. I'd take the bus back and I. I just stand out there, you know, waiting for the bus. To come. Yeah, it was. I gave the bar a ton of money. It's like. Well, now I figure it out, you know, Like, Wednesdays was always, like, the comedy night. And I'm sure we're all gonna figure some out, you know, either Monday or Wednesday or Friday. But, Yeah, just like a staple. When a staple of the. You know, the small town, like, goes away, it's like, oh, no. But like. Like, imagine growing up in Placerville. Like, was there ever, like, a staple of Placerville? [00:04:35] Speaker B: I don't know. Not that I really knew. [00:04:39] Speaker C: I don't think so. [00:04:42] Speaker A: I mean, like, imagine, like, if you went downtown in Placerville and they got rid of that hanging guy that was there for too long. [00:04:53] Speaker B: I don't think I'd care. [00:04:56] Speaker A: I mean, yeah, that. Like, there's like, no, like, real. Like, that was back when I was poor and I couldn't afford to go places. You know, it's like we. We did. [00:05:09] Speaker C: The gelato place closed down. [00:05:12] Speaker A: There was a gelato place. [00:05:13] Speaker C: There was a gelato plates. I remember when that closed. That made me sad. [00:05:20] Speaker A: Yeah, I'm like. Like, we just hung out in the street. Like, we hung out at the park. And, like, there's, like, little areas that we'd hang out and, like, smoke weed and do drugs. Like, we weren't, like, allowed in buildings. We were like stray animals. Like, yeah, you guys stay out there. So I don't know. Like, that's when I was, like, poor. But, You know, like, I. I have people on deck to, like, buy the bar. And I guess, you know, the owner was, like, just stubborn. It's like, yeah, I'll kill the entire thing. What was that? [00:06:06] Speaker C: What do you mean, what was that? [00:06:07] Speaker A: You farted so loud, I could hear it through my soundproof headphones. [00:06:13] Speaker C: Sorry, I'm only on day two of solid food. Mike, that's not happy. [00:06:19] Speaker A: Like, here's something I don't understand. It's like, why do we as humans eat corn? We cannot digest it. We can't do anything with it. You know, if you eat a corn on the cob or a bunch of corn, it's just going to come out the exact same way. Like, your body is going to be like, what is this? It's gonna, like, come by on the conveyor belt of your, you know, intestines, and your body's, like, cool. Like, give it a thumbs up and, like, send it to the butt. Send it straight to your asshole. Like, you can't do anything with it. Like. Like a couple days ago, I ate Elote and two days ago. Yeah, two days ago I ate a lot day. And you know, I, I went and took a, you know, a regular shit because I shit every day, you know, like that, that's. That's the one last thing I got going for me at this age is I shit normal. But like, I. I'm a man, so I look down to see like, the devastation. Because I always like seeing that for some goddamn reason. It's like morbid curiosity. Like, women, I don't think ever do that. I feel like women flush the toilet before they stand up. [00:07:28] Speaker B: Sometimes. [00:07:28] Speaker A: Like every time. [00:07:29] Speaker B: Just like, like there is sometimes where I don't. [00:07:32] Speaker A: Do you ever, like, look at what you did? [00:07:35] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:07:36] Speaker C: Okay. If I know there's going to be blood, I'm not going to look. [00:07:41] Speaker A: Yeah. Not like. Yeah, well, like, if it hurt coming out, I want to see. I want to see what I did. I'm like, I like, like. And anytime I'm like in a sex store, I, I'm. I look at the, like, the dildos. I'm like, man, my shit from last night was way bigger than that. I feel like I can take all these dicks and like, it wouldn't even be a problem, you know, Just breathe through the first few inches and I'm fine. My wife just ran out the door. [00:08:23] Speaker B: Oh, no. [00:08:25] Speaker A: I don't know where she's going. She's like, oh, no. But I. I've finally set up all my vacations for this entire year and it feels pretty goddamn good to just be like, yeah, I can do it. I don't want to do it, but it's like, I have to do it. You know that feeling? I mean, probably not. [00:09:01] Speaker B: Sometimes. [00:09:05] Speaker A: Like, the first one is going to be a staycation. I'm going to stay home with the cats while my wife is out visiting you. Then I'm gonna go out to Tennessee to go see my best friend who I haven't seen in years. Like, I haven't seen Ben in probably five years or so. [00:09:26] Speaker B: Oh, yeah. [00:09:29] Speaker A: And then I'm gonna go down to Louisiana, add my. One of my good friends back. Hey, come on down to, you know, L.A. come to skank Fest with us. I'm like, oh, yeah. And I'm gonna go to California too. [00:09:48] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:09:51] Speaker A: Holy. I'm gonna do so many goddamn vacations this year. Yeah. Solid month vacations all broken up. Yeah, that's gonna. October, so. Yeah. July, October, November. [00:10:08] Speaker C: Good. [00:10:12] Speaker B: Definitely gotta use that. Hey. [00:10:18] Speaker A: Yeah. I mean, are you okay? [00:10:22] Speaker C: I'm so sorry. [00:10:23] Speaker A: Are you okay? [00:10:24] Speaker C: Like, you, You Yeah, I, I had to go. [00:10:30] Speaker A: The sound, the talk of dildos in my ass. You're like, I have to go take a shit. [00:10:37] Speaker C: My ass told me either I could take a shit now or I could take a shit now. So I chose option A. Oh my God. [00:10:46] Speaker A: Like it's the fucking worst. Like when you're just having like a normal day, like nothing is going wrong, you're just sitting there and then all of a sudden your stomach and your ass just conspire to kill you and you feel like Julius Caesar and like, you know, your ass is like Brutus. I'm like, why would you do this to me? It's just like, you know, you're like, I'm gonna let out like just an innocent fart and your entire body's like emergency mode. Like you hit the self destruct button. It's ah. [00:11:23] Speaker B: Oh my. [00:11:24] Speaker A: I know, I know. I, I, I'm just rambling. Yeah, I, I wasn't, I wasn't here last week and everything's weird. [00:11:36] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:11:38] Speaker A: And then one of my older friends died. But he was old, you know, that's what old people do. [00:11:42] Speaker B: Good. [00:11:43] Speaker A: Yeah. It's like, ah, it still sucks. It still sucks, but you know, it's like, yeah, nah, yeah, not too crazy. But let's get into some fucking stories. Let's get some ask men advice. Because I, I do love this, you know, subreddit. Even though it's all cancer by Original Knowledge 202. Ask me an advice. My dad is a terminally ill drug addict and I'm exhausted from paying his bills and dealing with the fallout of his addiction. What advice would you give me on how to handle this? To try and make a very long story short, my 70 year old dad is a poly drug addict. He pretty much does everything hard drug you can think of, crack, meth, fet pills, etc. He has been on, on again, off again, hardcore addict since his early 20s. More on than off. So overall I'm used to dealing with it. He also has terminal cancer and he's not getting treatment for. He was a pretty good dad overall and I'm glad I had him in my life five years ago after my mom finally kicked him out of her house. He has never owned his own place by the way. Always cycling out of women's houses like my mom, his mom and his random girlfriends. I let him live with me in my house. I just, I brought him so, you know, he could leave the homeless shelter he was at. We were all very worried about him being there. There was a lot of violence, fighting violence and with him being so old, I wanted him to say stay somewhere safe. Luckily he was clean for the first few years. Or really good at hiding it. He was really good at hiding it, sorry to say. And there wasn't really a problem. He helped out around the house. There wasn't really too many issues around. Two years ago, all hell broke loose again with his addiction. He would bring strange drug addicted women over to my house and have really scary episodes of him screaming, having dangerous hallucinations. During these, he would walk around the middle of the night with a gun thinking people were trying to kill him. Just really terrible behavior and stressful and frightening to live with. I tried to have an intervention with family just to get him some help. He has refused. His cancer has also come back and doctors tell him there's nothing more they can do for him and I think they just gave up hope. I couldn't take living with him anymore so I told him he had to move out. Problem is he has no real income outside of a scant disability check and whatever hustling he does. I cannot stand to see him out on the streets. So I got an apartment for him. Yes, I know, dumb move. But again, I can't bear to see him out in the streets. The reality was just too awful. I knew I had to take care of my parents in their old age. They're both drug addicts with no retirement whatsoever. I am the breadwinner of all my siblings and by no means am I well off. Aside from my main salary job, I do home care for my dad that provides a little extra income. I use a hundred percent of his income to pay for his apartment costs. The rest is to come from his disability. Together is enough to cover rent, bills and food and bare minimum to keep him fed and housed. Well, he moved out around six months ago I guess unsurprisingly. And I've only seen a month's worth of money from him to cover the expenses. Yep, I've been paying around $1,000 a month of my own money from my 9 to 5 to keep him housed and lights on when I confront him about it. He said he made some bad investments and doesn't know what's happening to the money. I also told him he needs to give me money the same day it hits his account so he doesn't have a chance to blow it. He comes up with continued excuses next month. Next month he has also gotten into dangerous fights with his addict girlfriend that has resulted in bullet holes through the window and the door. Of the apartment. He didn't tell me this initially. Neighbors have been calling the cops. Management has gotten involved and I'm waiting to see if his lease is terminated. He cannot move back in with me. But it is crushing to see, you know, him living on the streets, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. Pretty much, you know, your 70 year old dad is a drug addict with terminal cancer and he's, you know, a up. [00:16:26] Speaker C: You know, OP is. I'm really impressed. Stupid. Yeah. OP stupid. Yeah. But, oh, he's also doing everything for his dad, which is impressive. But all this is stupid. [00:16:39] Speaker A: Your dad is manipulating you. Your dad is a drug addict and that's what drug addicts do. They're really great manipulators. That's how they, you know, stay in their drugs. [00:16:54] Speaker C: Poor op. [00:16:55] Speaker A: But yeah, like it, you have to get your dad in jail like that, that's, that's the next step. Like that's the only thing you have left is, you know, put your dad in jail, you know, if you don't want to see him on the street, you know, jail, sorry, dude. You know, otherwise he's just going to be on the street, you know, doing 50 years of hard drugs on and off. [00:17:24] Speaker C: Yeah, you're wonder the dude's got cancer. [00:17:26] Speaker A: Yeah, you're. I mean, surprisingly, he lived to 70. They usually don't live to 70. They usually overdose. And yeah, I mean either a, your dad's gonna overdose and die. He's 70, you know, he's lived a good long life. Or you're just gonna have to like sit there and just deal with that shit, dude. Or you have to just, you know, let them ruin your life, you know, do you want them to ruin your life or you know, you're just gonna like cut it off? You know, just because you know, a drug addict who was a fun dude for a bit for your childhood doesn't mean shit. [00:18:06] Speaker C: No, it does not. [00:18:09] Speaker A: You know, and let's see what the comments say. This one was wild. I had to watch my ex husband kill himself with drug addiction. It was heartbreaking and if I'm being real, it was a relief when his suffering ended. I highly suggest Al Anon, please know that he is not your responsibility. You do not have to give him money. You do need to take proper care of yourself. [00:18:39] Speaker C: Yes. OP is not the parent. [00:18:45] Speaker A: I had to take a parent to the ER this week because. Because of a fall due to excessive drinking. I had to release my grip on the outcome. I'd rather feel guilty than resentful. Yeah, I mean that, that's absolutely true. Feeling, you know, guilty then rather than hating your dad, you know, and being at the funeral like that guy, you know, it's like. Yeah. You know, be, you know, release them. You know, when people know that they have a safety net like you. Yeah. They're going to continue doing whatever the they want to do. [00:19:23] Speaker C: Yeah. No, op is definitely being taken advantage of. [00:19:25] Speaker A: Yeah. You are 100 a safety net, dude. [00:19:28] Speaker C: Okay? And Opie's dad is trashing that apartment and Opie is going to be on the hook for all the cleaning fees. [00:19:34] Speaker A: Yeah, you're going to be on the hook. [00:19:35] Speaker B: Yeah. Plus, you don't know when he finally does, like, grow backbone, like, you don't know what's going to happen to that apartment because people can be like, really vindictive. He can trash it on his way out. [00:19:47] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:19:50] Speaker A: I mean, it's probably already trashed. You know, it's like I've lived with drug addicts and I've been to drug addicts homes and it. It's a nightmare. And it's like, oh, this is gonna cost a load. And, you know, it does suck, you know, when, you know, drugs get, you know, too far involved and. Yeah. I mean, sometimes you just have to, like, cut it off. Like, if any of my friends that I had that were like too far into addictions, I just cut them off, I'm like, sorry, dude. You know, I don't have anything for you. You know I love you, but you know, I'm not gonna be your safety net. Yeah, come on. Come on. Yeah. [00:20:48] Speaker C: I mean, OP is doing more than I would have done in this situation. [00:20:51] Speaker A: Well, of course you wouldn't have done nothing for your parents. [00:20:54] Speaker C: Nah, fuck them. [00:20:56] Speaker B: Yep. [00:20:57] Speaker A: Yes, Mo. Can I have my mouse back or are you gonna be a cat? Okay, go be a cat. She's being extra cute because it's Catterday and she gets treats on every Saturday or Catterday and she knows that she has to come to me because. And be extra cute. And that's when I get up and go give her treats. And that's what she's doing right now. She's coming over and being extra cute and extra lovey and, you know, rubbing up on me. And then I go over and give her treats. You know, it'll happen after the podcast. Next advice. Would you ever date someone with a chronic illness from Jupiter Fawn? And also, how would you like the person to just to disclose that information if you're just getting to know each other for context? I have Lime plus Positive. I Don't know what that, that is. Like, sounds like a streaming. [00:22:09] Speaker B: He has Lyme disease, I think. [00:22:12] Speaker A: Yeah. L Y M E. Yeah, yeah. Lyme disease sounds like a streaming service. I'm just being honest. I am very, you know, proactive about my health. I exercise and enjoy being outside. My health though, makes planning things in advance difficult because I'll never know how I'm feeling too far in advance because I always try and push through regardless on, you know, because I always want to be accountable for people I care about. And one area of my life I don't enjoy talking about is when I've just met someone. And I'm curious to hear different opinions on if dating someone with a chronic illness is a deal breaker. If not, how would you like them to go about telling you? It depends on the illness, you know, realistically. And like, if there's a timeline for like death, you know, it's like, hey, I'm going to die in five years. And it's like, you know, here's the thing, you know, if you stay with them for that entire five years, you're going to get deeply attached, emotionally attached, and then they're going to die and it's going to be devastating and it's going to wreck your entire world on something you already knew was going to happen. And it's like, but, you know, if it's something that, you know, you can deal with and it's just, you know, here and there and, you know, it's a manageable condition. Yeah, that's fine. You know, like, if I knew my wife was gonna die when she turned, you know, 30, you know what? I, I don't, I don't know if I, I would have like started dating. [00:24:01] Speaker C: Yeah, I told you, I'm dying at 60, not 30. [00:24:03] Speaker A: Yeah, but no, like, if, if you were, you know, had like some like crazy disease. [00:24:08] Speaker C: Oh, if I knew I was going to die in my 30s, I wouldn't date anybody. Really? No. [00:24:18] Speaker A: I mean, I, I feel like you have that right to date someone. Just like, you know, bring. [00:24:22] Speaker C: Okay, I wouldn't give, Okay, I would. [00:24:25] Speaker A: Not get married or, or would you just be like a, like a fuck boy just going around, you know, having like one night stands and. [00:24:31] Speaker C: Go around having one night stands. [00:24:34] Speaker B: Alex, I don't think you would do that. [00:24:36] Speaker C: I know, I'm saying that from a spot where I'm not in that circumstance, but like, I know I wouldn't want to be in a long term relationship if I knew my life was going to be that. [00:24:50] Speaker A: Yeah, I mean, like, if I. If I had cancer and it's like, you know, this is interoperable cancer. You have, you know, like two years to live and I was single. I just, you know, like, okay, I guess I'll just, you know, die alone. Or it's like, get friends and, you know, like, never tell them and then be, like, devastating one day. Just like, be like the best, like, nicest dude ever. And then just die and be like, ah, there you go. Hand grenade in your lap. And then, like, I, like, create, like, a video and, like, have it, like, time delayed, like, after I die, like, send it out and everyone gets, like, a personalized video and like, ah, I'm dead. Ah, you know? [00:25:43] Speaker B: Yep. [00:25:46] Speaker A: Like, I want my funeral to be a party, you know? [00:25:53] Speaker B: Yeah, I would want to party too. [00:25:58] Speaker A: But. But then, like, I put myself as like, a ghost. I'm like, man, you're all having too much fun, y'. All. Y' all enjoying yourselves too much. Be a little bit sad. Be more sad. No, don't do more lines of coke off the strippers. Ask. Ah, okay. Yeah, I paid for it all. Enjoy. But the last ask men advice is from a woman. And this, she says, men's input only, but we're gonna do it here. This lady calls herself human garbage. I struggle to get a boyfriend. How do I approach men? Change that name straight up. Have more self respect for yourself. You are a person. You're a human. It doesn't matter what you look like or anything. Just go up and be nice. But let's read it. I'm chronically single and I have never dated before. I get rejected like crazy. I post my selfies online before I know desperate, but I'm getting better and I'm told I'm stunning and it doesn't translate in real life. I've tried dating and the guys reject or even insult and humiliate me. I'm not sure what I do wrong. I give gifts and attention. I try and appear confident. Do the guys I like not like me? Which, if I'm honest, would be pretty bad because I'm not very picky. I have one or two deal breakers. Aside from the obvious ones like abuse or whatnot. How do I approach men? Why don't men approach me? I feel so lost now. You know, you have, you know, hidden your entire profile. Like, I went to go look to see if you have, you know, stuff in your profile here to, you know, give me some more insight on who you are. And there's been, you know, a few personality types that I'VE seen from women that, you know, kind of keep them single. And it's this, you know, hyperactive, you know, like, weeaboo, you know, type thing that will, you know, keep some, some women single unless you go to, you know, your people. Like, but if you're like too, you know, intense, then yeah, you're gonna, you know, kind of off put men. You know, if you come in with the energy of a, a golden retriever to a, you know, a nervous cat, you know, that's kind of how it is. You kind of have to, you know, play it simple. Yes, Mo, I know the second I'm done, you'll get your treats, I promise. Yeah, you've already told me a million times. I know, I've gotten up. [00:29:09] Speaker C: I want to know what OP's deal breakers are. [00:29:16] Speaker A: She doesn't seem like it. There is. [00:29:17] Speaker C: Okay, I mean you literally, you said this and I'm just repeating you, but OP's given absolutely no information about herself. [00:29:24] Speaker A: So I mean, here's something I already tried to do that I didn't mention it in the post, but I'm a very talkative and extroverted person. I tend to yap and be friendly around everyone. Kindness is important to me. You know, so she seems like the very like, you know, excitable girl. You know, like the, the blonde girl that's like, hey, how you doing? I, I, I, I, you know, I, I saw that you like this and you know, you just, you know, you come across like, I, I, I don't have any information to go off of here. So you know, that, that's just what I'm, you know. [00:30:05] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:30:05] Speaker A: There's just no information inferring. [00:30:07] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:30:08] Speaker A: Is that you are someone that is very intense and that will off put dudes really quick because like, you know, imagine like you go up to a dude and like, hey, you know, and then you have a, you know, your first date and you're like that one really good. Let's get married. You know, when do you want to get married and how many kids you want to have? And it's like, oh, that's too much too fast. [00:30:33] Speaker C: Okay. I don't think it, I don't think it's wrong to on the first date establish are you looking to get married and are you looking to have kids? Like, I think that's a conversation you should a conversation you should have on the first date. You're not crazy to make. I don't think you're crazy to be like as me. [00:30:50] Speaker A: If you brought up marriage and kids on the first date, I would have ghosted you. [00:30:55] Speaker C: Fair enough. [00:30:58] Speaker A: I would have never talked to you again. [00:31:00] Speaker C: Well, no, on a first day, I'd be like. I'd be like, if I'm going on date for someone, I'm gonna be like. I'm just. I want to. I want to specify, am I just looking for someone to date or am I looking for someone to build a relationship with? Like, I want to make sure my expectations are visible. [00:31:14] Speaker A: I feel like the first date should be, you know, hey, who are you? Do we actually mesh? And you, you spend like an hour or two, you know, seeing if you actually mesh. And then like, you know, second to fourth date, you can, you know, get into, like, you know, deeper questions. It's like, hey, does my personality, you know, like, the physical, you know, attraction was obviously there. Boom. Okay, cool. You know, I'm willing to go out on a date with you because I think you're cute. And now does our personalities match? Oh, he's too racist. Oh, he's too this. Oh, he's too that. You know, we will not, you know, mix well. So, you know, thank you for, you know, the chance that don't think this will work. Boom. Someone said, show the pictures you post online. That's hilarious. You don't seem to have a lot of self esteem, which men pick on. Pick up on. Perhaps a neediness quality username checks out. But yeah. So, yeah, I'm seeing like a lot of people, you know, with what I just said. Is this a personnel ad? No, asl. [00:32:39] Speaker C: Opie has, like, no information about herself, and for some reason I'm like. [00:32:46] Speaker A: You. [00:32:46] Speaker C: Know how sometimes some people want to do, like, MMA and like, they do everything possible to describe themselves in a good light and don't say anything bad about them, to hide about the fact they know that they're the person in the wrong. Like, is she crazy? Crazy and she's hiding her crazy, and I hate to be that person, but, like. [00:33:08] Speaker A: I mean. [00:33:12] Speaker B: She. [00:33:12] Speaker A: She definitely. Let's see, let's see. All of. Use. God damn it. There we go. Boom. Copy. Well, let's see. Go search comments. Boom. Okay, so it's search for function's not working, but yeah, seems like, you know, how old are you? 20. A sophomore in college. Don't give gifts. That sounds too forward. Do you look like Gorlok the Destroyer by chance? [00:34:36] Speaker C: What's wrong with giving gifts? [00:34:39] Speaker A: I mean, I give gifts, like, to, like, my best friends, but they're not like, anything like, special. I mean, yeah, you using a lot of these acronyms like, the, you know, generally, you know what I mean? You know, you're doing, like, the, you know, young, you know, trying to find love, you know, excitable girl. Energy is what I'm getting from you. So, yeah, I mean, either a. [00:35:21] Speaker B: There's not. Quite honestly, not enough information. [00:35:23] Speaker C: No, there's no information. [00:35:24] Speaker A: But. But I. I do, you know. You know, like, it gives, like, just enough information to where. It's like, you know, how do. How does she, you know, approach men? You know, like, she's not asking, you know, why don't I get men? She's just asking, how do I approach them? You know, approach them, you know, like, hey, what's up? You know, how are you doing? You know, because you. You are 20, you know, and you're just, you know, experiencing life honestly, instead. [00:35:59] Speaker B: Of, like, trying to date, I would probably join a group or something. That way I can maybe fill out, like. And. Because she doesn't talk about any of her friends, like, no. Yeah. So maybe she's just not socialized enough. [00:36:18] Speaker A: Like, babe, you remember, like, your one friend from college, like, that excitable girl? No, I forget her name. [00:36:29] Speaker C: Was she my vet tech program? [00:36:31] Speaker A: She. She was your friend up in Folsom. [00:36:35] Speaker C: My friend up in Folsom? [00:36:38] Speaker A: Yeah. College. [00:36:41] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:36:42] Speaker B: She probably doesn't remember. [00:36:43] Speaker C: I don't remember. I feel so bad. [00:36:45] Speaker A: Yeah. Like. [00:36:46] Speaker C: But clearly I haven't kept in touch with this person. [00:36:48] Speaker A: You have not kept in touch. She was like your friend in college, and I have no idea what her name was, but, like, anything. [00:36:54] Speaker C: Was she friends with me or was I friends with her? [00:36:58] Speaker A: She was more friends with you. [00:36:59] Speaker C: Okay. [00:37:01] Speaker A: Like, I met her once and she was like the excitable, you know, like, you know, like the anime type girl, you know? [00:37:12] Speaker C: That must have been a phase. [00:37:14] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:37:14] Speaker C: Hopefully it's just friends in college. [00:37:16] Speaker A: Yes. [00:37:18] Speaker B: Alex, you had friends in college. You introduced them to me. [00:37:21] Speaker C: I did, yeah. [00:37:23] Speaker A: Yeah. I went to a party with you and all your friends. [00:37:29] Speaker C: I can't believe I had friends in college. I'm so happy. [00:37:33] Speaker B: And you actually partied in college. [00:37:35] Speaker C: I did, yeah. [00:37:38] Speaker B: You partied way more than me. [00:37:40] Speaker C: Oh, man. [00:37:42] Speaker B: Yeah, right. [00:37:47] Speaker A: I've done a lot of drugs and drinking since then, so. But. So, yeah, human garbage, you know, hopefully, you know, like your goal, your fucking name. Change your name. And also, you know, getting a boyfriend should not be the goal. You know, working on yourself to where a man, you know, wants to date, you should be the goal to be yourself. And then, you know, two people, boom, bump into each other, and then you Find true love or some, you know, trash. Yeah, you know, I mean, I'm married because my wife was like, hey, you want to get married? I'm like, sure. [00:38:31] Speaker B: Yeah. But just remember, he didn't want to get married. [00:38:36] Speaker C: No. But I had put in the years I deserved to be a wife. [00:38:42] Speaker A: Yeah. I mean, marriage is honestly, you know, a dumb thing. But, you know, it makes my taxes better, makes them easier. It's nice. But let's end this all in a fucking nice story. You know, this is January 10th, so this is very recently a Mexican company rescued a stray. I love how they misspelled stray. You know, estre orange cat hired him as that. [00:39:10] Speaker C: That's a coat pattern. [00:39:13] Speaker A: A saray. [00:39:14] Speaker C: Yeah, it's a coat pattern. It's a type of stripes on his head. [00:39:20] Speaker A: The. The tattoo stripes on his head. Okay. So a saray orange cat hired him as engineer Mirakiro, probably fucking Miru Kiro, and made him the director of emotional support. Yeah. So it's just in a company, but. [00:39:44] Speaker C: This is peak level pizza party shit. [00:39:47] Speaker A: I would love this. [00:39:48] Speaker C: I know, right? I already have cats at my job. [00:39:52] Speaker A: If, you know, there was like a office and like, they just brought in this cat to just like kind of wander about to everybody and like every once in a while, like, you know, come over to you meow, and you pick him up and give him pets. And he's like, yep, this is the fucking director of emotional support. [00:40:09] Speaker C: I love having our clinic cats. They just have free roam at the clinic, like at all times. And like, we can just be doing anything in the back. And they just like waltz through, stop by, get pets, do sniff, and they're on their way. They're just always checking this out. There's just always a cat walking around. [00:40:24] Speaker A: See, like the shops I go to have shop dogs. And like, the dogs are always excited to see me. Like, I'll pull up and they'll like, sit patiently and then I'll park my truck and they'll know it's parked and. And then they'll come and sniff all my tires and then pee on my truck and then leave. [00:40:42] Speaker C: Their work there is done. [00:40:43] Speaker A: Yeah, that's all they needed to do. They need to go around, sniff my truck, piss on the truck, and then I get to, like, the next stop and like, the, the dogs come around, sniff the truck back. Oh, whose piss is that? Mine now. And then, you know, keep it moving. Like, I. I don't know. Like, if dogs just keep like an extra little pouch of piss on them, just like, if they need to, like, mark something like, I'm not gonna use all my piss. [00:41:06] Speaker C: You're not exactly wrong. [00:41:11] Speaker A: Do dogs that keep extra piss on them somehow? [00:41:13] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:41:15] Speaker A: That's insane. [00:41:16] Speaker C: Well, no, they use it to mark. You're right. [00:41:19] Speaker A: Just like a little marking piss. Just like. [00:41:23] Speaker C: Well, you don't fully empty your bladder every single time you pee. [00:41:26] Speaker A: I do. [00:41:27] Speaker C: You usually avoid around 80 to 90%. [00:41:30] Speaker A: I fucking empty that thing. It's like a fucking raisin after I'm done. Like, I also keep, like, a gallon of fucking liquid in my bladder. [00:41:43] Speaker C: You do? [00:41:45] Speaker A: My wife has heard me pee. It's a crazy thing. So. But yeah, we're gonna go ahead and end there. Yeah, we'll be back on that normal shit. As I said, I have a bunch of fucking vacations coming up, so we'll see what happens. I'll try and stay with it. And until next time, you know, Sorry. For, like, the worst episode of the year. I won't say that. I'm sure I have worse episodes coming, so stay tuned for the worst episode of the year. I'll fucking do nothing about it. All right, bye, bye, bye.
