Speaker 1 (00:04):
I still speaking that that should not have made it
to the rest of us. Thoughts check check check Welcome back,
since I thoughts, appreciate you for listening. All the podcast
is wait again. I'm sorry. I'm just being a lazy

(00:26):
sack of ship this week. Uh, I'm bad. Win the
cat right now to see who can take more midday naps.
She's winning. But like it's close, you know what I mean.
Ames is over there working hard. Hurry up and pay
the bills.

Speaker 2 (00:42):
Lady.

Speaker 1 (00:44):
Me and the cat are just like, you know what,
I think I could take my third nap of the day.
It's it's tough, man, I just hear. Here's the thing.
I'm just I'm getting too overlea stimulated by all of
the news. I just I can't. I can't. It's it's
too hard being awake. I can't. There is some crazy

(01:05):
shit going on in the news, man, Like Beyonce won
the Best Country Album of the Year at the Grammys.
Luka Dancic is a laker, and a bunch of planes
have been going down. Man, I just there was like, uh,
there was two stories last week. One plane crashed in
DC running into a helicopter. There was one in Philly

(01:27):
that went down. And then somebody showed me an article
yesterday that like two planes collided or bumped each other
to delta flights bumped each other. Luckily they were on
the runway, they weren't in the air. But it's like, man,
it's uh, it's tough being in a plane right now.
So I hope you don't have to take a trip anywhere.

(01:49):
You know, you really got to watch out, Like if
if your inter relationship, because Valentine's Day is coming up,
if your inter relationship and uh, you know it's been
on a rocky but you're thinking, hey, I'm gonna turn
it around on Valentine's Day and your partner comes over
to you, it's like, babe, I got us two flights

(02:12):
to I don't care after that, I'm breaking up with her.
You're not buying me a plane ticket. You're not gonna
show up. You're gonna make me get on that flight
and it's gonna go down and you're gonna get be
able to walk free. No, not doing it. So I'm
just saying be weary of anybody who comes to you
with gift bearing plane tickets. They're gonna miss that flight.

(02:35):
You're gonna get on it. It's gonna be scary. Don't
do it. If anybody comes to you with plane tickets,
it's gonna be like Judas going to Jesus with the
punchest pilot deal.

Speaker 2 (02:46):
Jesus, we have dinner reservations.

Speaker 1 (02:50):
Don't take that flight, man. That's all I'm saying. It
would be nice, though, Like the uh, the Delta flights
that bumped in into each other. What was that yesterday
two days ago? I don't know. Time's not real. That's
the best plane accident to get into. Like, if you're
just on the runway, you're not going fast age bump

(03:10):
into each other. You walk out of there like dude
from Friday, Oh my my neck, get my back, walk
out of there with the lawsuit. You get to retire.
Thank you. Delta Airlines. Was talking to my buddy about it.
I was like, I would love that. That's my retirement plan.
The only thing is I can't really afford to get

(03:31):
on a Delta Airline flight. I gotta fly Spirit. Spirit's
not paying that out, you know what I mean. Do
we really think Spirit has the money to pay out
my injury settlement? No, you'd be like, ah, here's a
couple packs of gum go walk it off. Fuck her.
That's what they're gonna be doing. There is crazy stuff
going on with planes, though, Like there was uh this

(03:55):
article today that said pilot propose the girlfriend mid flight
and heartwarming video. He got down on her knee mid flight.
They're in the air and he goes, my co pilot
of love and life, will you marry me? Mid flight?
Everybody on that plane knows plane's been going down left

(04:17):
and right, and this dickhead's got the balls to walk
back in front of everybody and propose. If she says no,
sweaty hands time, this guy might take the plane down.

Speaker 2 (04:29):
Life's not worth living anymore. She said, no, if you
don't love me, you don't love anybody.

Speaker 1 (04:36):
That's a dangerous move. Man. That's selfish. Don't ask people
to marry you in public places. Man, it's selfish, especially
on an airplane when you're the pilot. Thank god, she said, yeah.
I don't even know if she actually meant it, but
she was just doing everybody a favor on that flight.
She probably knew her pilot, her pilot boyfriend, and I

(05:00):
used to getting told no anytime. She was like, uh,
where do you want to eat tonight. I really want
to go to a steakhouse.

Speaker 2 (05:08):
Babe.

Speaker 1 (05:08):
I don't want to go to a steak Oh, it's
always what you want. Okay, that's fine, bababe. Okay, we
can go to the steakhouse. She knows he can't handle no,
so she was playing on getting out of the relationship
before Valentine's Day. Anyway, She's like, I'm gonna use my
free buddy pass one more time. They're on flight together.
She's like, yeah, I'm just traveling for work. Appreciate the

(05:31):
free flight. She was gonna start a new wife in
like San Diego or something. He walks back to six
B because she's got nice seats. The pilot's her boyfriend.
You know what I mean? Babe? Will you marry me
my co pilot for wifeh fuck? I gotta say yes. Ord.
He's gonna crash a plane. It's tough, but you know

(05:54):
she's a hero. She saved all those people's lives and
now she has to get married to that pilot. Hope
it uh, I hope it works out. I actually don't
care either way. I'm never gonna hear about those people
ever again. Sorry. I'm just yapping man. Just yapping. But hey,
you're listening to this podcast. You made. You made this decision.

(06:18):
You could be reading a book, could be going to
the gym, could be doing something the better your wife.
But you're like, Nope, I'm gonna kill time. I'm gonna
listen to this dickhead talk. And I appreciate you for that.
I just I gotta say, like wife, Right now, everybody
kind of seems like they're a little bit on edge.

(06:39):
It's gonna be okay, It's gonna be okay. Everybody's just
on edge. Everybody's mad at each other. I think the
biggest problem that we have is we as a society
made everybody have to go to college. That's that was

(07:00):
where like a lot of this, a lot of this
stuff came from where we're at now. We told everybody
starting in like, you know, mid nineties, all the way
through the two thousands, you have to go to college.
It's the worst thing that ever happened to society because
now everybody thinks their opinion matters. You know, you get

(07:23):
get into college, you're away from your parents, teachers are
asking you what you think about things, and you just
start talking and they're listening a lot of those classes.
They're participation based for your grade. So you're just you're yapping,
You're doing what I'm doing right now, and you think.

Speaker 2 (07:41):
This is how the world is supposed to be. Everybody
listens to what I say. College used to be reserved
for just smart people. Then they found out it could
be a business model, like, hey, you know we're only
charging like two thousand bucks a year for college and
actual smart.

Speaker 1 (08:01):
People are coming. You know we could do we conject
the price up to about I don't know, fifteen thousand
dollars a semester and make everybody have to go if
they want a job, and a bunch of dumb asses
like me go to college. You rack up that, so
you know, they get to play the mob game with you,
Sallly May and then you just you're out in these

(08:25):
open forums. You started thinking that life is like a
college campus. Everybody listens to me in my opinion matters. No,
stupid people listen to me. As a fellow dumb ass,
you should know your opinion doesn't matter. You find smart
people in your life and you listen to them. Okay, hey, aren't.

Speaker 2 (08:47):
You doing the same thing that you're saying not to do?

Speaker 1 (08:49):
Yeah, I am but somebody, one of us dummies has
to step up and say it. Okay, your opinion doesn't matter.
You go through like any posts on the internet, and
you'll get like three comments down. The first two comments
will actually be talking about the video. It could be
a video about anything like oh, look at this little
dog chasing the ball. First two comments are like, oh,

(09:14):
it's so cute, look at the dog chasing the ball.
Third comment is this is exactly why communists are running
the country.

Speaker 2 (09:25):
And you're like, what are you talking about?

Speaker 1 (09:28):
And my opinion, the dog actually thinks that freedom of
speech is bad and that's why we have to get
the Democrats out. And now it's just that, but flipped
for Trump, every single comment section is like in my opinion.
I was reading like Jurassic Park is coming out with

(09:51):
a new movie or Jurassic World, whatever it is, it's
coming out with a new movie, and I was like,
I'm just gonna read the comments like the movie actually
looks good. They're like, we got to go back to
the island and find a cure for cancer or something,
but we have to get past all these scary dinosaurs.
Solid concept for the movie. I haven't watched, you know,

(10:12):
the last two Jurassic Parks that came out with but
I love Jurassic Parks. I was like, okay reading the
comments and this guy third comment down one about politics,
but he was just like, this is this looks like
a good movie. I can't wait to see it. And
I gotta be honest, I think I am one of
the few people who have enjoyed all of the Jurassic

(10:33):
Park movies. Oh, you think you're one of the only people, Jeff,
why'd you have to put that in there? Because he
probably went to college as a stupid person and he
was in philosophy one oh one, and they're like, what
do you think about things like, oh, well, nobody's asked
me before. In my opinion, I think that no, we

(10:54):
got to cut that shit out. Your opinion does not matter.
We gotta start pushing opinions back down. Okay. Need to
bring shame back, shame and embarrassment, because too many people
don't have any shame. They don't feel embarrassment anymore. There's
a woman she was a rapper. She was suing lift,

(11:17):
you know, not uber lyft, for being denied or ride
because she was too fat. And I read this story
and know I was like, I bet you she's about
to get a case. Ain't no way, she's that fat.
Jesus Christ. They showed a picture of her six hundred
pound life, Like, hey, bro, if you're that big, you
gotta walk a little bit. You're not gonna be here

(11:39):
for much longer that witht driver's got his Toyota Corolla.
He's trying to make up a couple extra bucks, and
you're gonna knock the suspension out of his car because
you wanted to get a ride to McDonald's. Have some shame.
We need to bring embarrassment back a little bit. It
makes you better, makes you focused. Nobody has any shame

(12:00):
embarrassment anymore. Like people. People don't even have embarrassment. Like
the most embarrassing thing you can do now as an
adult is like, fuck up turning in a car, you
know what I mean? Like you got to make a
regular turn, you mess it up, turns into a seven
point turn. I was in the grocery store parking lot.

(12:24):
This lady was just like messing up a turn trying
to get into a parking space. Didn't even like throw
her hand up and say I'm sorry. She just like
was looking and after a couple like, I don't know
five turns. I kind of like beef to like, hey,
hurry up, you're holding the line. She looked at me like.

Speaker 2 (12:39):
What what what do you mean what?

Speaker 1 (12:42):
You don't know how to drive? You're thirty seven years
old and you can't make that parking space. Have some shame,
That's all I'm saying, man, have some shame. We need
to go back to knowing when we're stupid. It's fine, man,
Just she know when you're stupid, like me, I'm stupid.
So I got to fill out job applications now because

(13:05):
I they need a job. Oh really, you're talking on
a podcast Thursday in the afternoon. You just talked about
out napping a cat, and we don't think that you
need a job. We know you need a job. Nick,
It's okay. I was filling out the form though, and
I swear some of these places do not want you
to have a job. Like I was filling out this

(13:25):
job application for like some marketing thing on Amazon, and
it makes you take this question there and it gives
you like I don't know if it's like a personality
test or like a character test or something. They'll give
you two situations and you have to say most like
me or not like me? You know what I mean?

(13:50):
And there's two options and you just have to click what.
This was a screenshot of one of the examples because
it was so ridiculous. The two choices are rechecking your
work is usually a waste of time, or I don't
think much about other people's feelings. And there's not like
a no, I don't. Neither of those are me. It's

(14:12):
just okay, go ahead, pick impossible situation rocking a hard place. Well,
what do you want? Rechecking your work is usually a
waste of time. So in your mind you're Jesus Christ.
I don't make mistakes. Why would I recheck my work?
You're a sociopath? Or the other one is I don't
think much about other people's feelings, also a sociopath. Hey,

(14:35):
we're here to get a job done. What do you
think Amazon wanted me a pick? Probably I don't think
much about other people's feelings, right, because they want you
to recheck that work. I just I was like, what
what do you want me to do? I don't know.
It's crazy. We got the uh got super Bowl coming

(14:58):
up on Sunday. Two of the worst teams that you
could ever hope the root for to win a Super
Bowl or playing Chiefs Eagles. I hope the Eagles win
because it's the lesser of two evils. That's what every
choice when you're an adult becomes the lesser of two evils.
Can I have just like a good versus bad? Not

(15:20):
a rechecking your work is usually a waste of time.
Or I don't think much about other people's feelings. Why
does every answer a lose lose? Hey, do you want
Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Devils Demons to win
another Super Bowl and get their three p because they
get the refs on their side, or do you want

(15:41):
anybody in Philadelphia to feel joy and happiness? It's like,
I really don't want the Chiefs to win another super
Bowl because then it just like plays into the NFL's marketing.
It's like, yeah, we have a new Tom's better and

(16:02):
Taylor Swift's at the game, so you get everybody just
eyes on the game. Or people from Philadelphia get to
be happy. And I don't know if you've ever met
somebody from Philadelphia, terrible people. I don't ever want them
to be happy, but I gotta do it, like you
got a root for Saquon Barkley. That's about it, You
know what I mean, lose lose situation. It's tough, man,

(16:29):
I have a lot of time to think about stupid shit.
Do you ever think singers know when they dropped like
a generational banger? Or do you think they get amazed
when it takes off? How it does? Like do they
get to go, Wow, this is cool as shit? Or
they walk out of the studio like man, world doesn't
even know what I did yet? Like Marvin gays Ain't

(16:50):
No Mountain High still plays at the bars. I heard
it last Friday. We were walking past the bars. It
was still playing. No Way to Marvin Gaye make that
and think generations are gonna think this shit is sick? Man?
I did it. I know this is the best song
I've ever made. That's got to be a cool feeling, right,

(17:12):
I don't know. I just still can't get over the
fact that Luka Doncic got traded to the Wakers because
the Mavericks thought he was fat. That had to be
a conspiracy, right, Or do I just need a job?
Probably just need a job. It's whatever, all right, Let's
get to your uh, let's get to your headline of

(17:36):
the week and we'll release you from this podcast. And
this is actually, this is a nice happy story. Unfortunately
he had to be a Philadelphia fan. But a ten
year old boy wakes up from emergency brain surgery after
being injured by Philadelphia plane crash, and the first thing
he does is ask, Daddy, did I save my sister?

(17:59):
So this will I had ten years old. That plane
crash in Philly happened and they were close to it,
so he like jumped in front to save his sister
because there was like trapnel and metal from the plane exploding.
So he just saved his sister, gets hit knocked out,

(18:20):
had to have emergency brain surgery. First thing he does
when he wakes up, Dad, did I save my sister?
That dude's awesome. And then the next thing he asked
when they told him, yeah, you saved your sister, he
asked if he had missed the super Bowl. They're like, no,
the super Bowl is coming up, man, and he was
super happy because he's a Phillies fan. So you know

(18:42):
that's what like, Okay, I guess we do have a
good versus evil because I do want that kid to
be happy and have the Eagles win. You know what
I mean. That kid's a superhero. Ten years old. He
saved his old sister from plane trapnel woke up first thing,
not like, WHOA, I'm alive? Did I save my sister?

(19:05):
That is awesome. I'm telling you, man, the world isn't
full of bad people. The world just makes people bad sometimes.
All Right, I'm getting out here real quick, though. I
do have to say rest in peace to Ken Flores.
He was a comedian. He passed away last week. Super
cool dude, And that kind of stinks that he passed

(19:25):
away because he was like right on the cusp of
like blown up, and I was like talking to him
about it. I was like, man, I think it's like cool,
Like you're you ever have that moment where you look
around You're like, oh, man, I'm doing this shit. He goes, yeah, dude,
every day, this is awesome. So like at least he
was enjoying it. But it kind of stinks that got

(19:47):
cut short. But rip to Ken Flores. Man, all right,
you guys have a great week. I'll talk to you
again Tuesday. Peace. Nice money for money for money for go,

Are You A Charlotte?

In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
