Our phone lines are lighting up!
No sorry, we can't lie to you. It's our duty as judges to tell the truth....we don't have phone lines. We have a G-Mail digital phone message system. But that is lighting up with voicemails from YOU!
We continue PART 2 of our SEASON 1 FINALE by tackling your pressing social questions and quandaries. We've donned our wigs and ensconced ourselves in velvet (nope sorry, lied again. It's polyester) and are ready to give America what it wants. The TRUTH.
This week's callers regale us with etiquette and faux pas like: opening the wine bottle you brought to someone else's house, refusing to engage in group texts, singing along to the radio and saying "good morning" in the afternoon.
Tune in to hear our verdicts, and perhaps YOUR VOICE, on part 2 of our raucous Season 1 finale.
Hugs and kisses America. Thank you so much for listening to stuff we've spent a lot of time working on. Without you we're just two guys prattling away on a couch. We love you. Thank you.

Hello, America, Welcome back to Night Court.
Only it's not Night Court. It's me and Neil.
The lawyers at Premeditated would like to extend to you the
offer of a lifetime. For a limited time only, you can
use your cellular telephone and call the number here.
(00:21):
I'll say it for you anyways, 202-810-4256 call this number.
Only call this number. Not you don't, don't.
If you want to talk, don't do this if, but if you do have a
serious social crime or etiquette flaw that you want
(00:44):
discussed by us, call this number.
We'll help you out the best we can.
And if it's not help, just remember it's a podcast.
I'll bang my gavel to that call today.
(01:04):
We'll see you around the courthouse.
This is premeditated. The podcast investigating
society's unwritten laws and theheinous ways they're broken.
True crime, low stakes. I'm Neil, I'm Graham, and this
(01:24):
is premeditated. Hello America, we're back with
Part 2 of our Call in episode. We had so many great cases.
I mean our inbox is piled high with Manila folders.
We're not even getting through. I don't, I don't think even half
(01:45):
of these that we've got. Well, very nice people left us
multiple case files because people are guys.
People got problems, people got problems.
And they we are here to not solve them but tell them how
they should be solved. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
All of the advice we have is foryou to do on your own time.
(02:06):
We're not doing any of the emotional.
No, no, no. That's not what the law is for.
The law is not for that. It's for trying to help you do
your thing. And it's for just telling you
how you're fucking up. Yeah, that's most of what?
That's most of what we do. Yeah.
OK, you're screwing up in this way.
Uh huh. Yeah.
I mean, but that is what the real judges do.
(02:28):
It's literally true. That's called precedent.
I don't even know what that wordmeans, but it sounds like
something a judge would say. You are on a legal podcast,
Graham. Precedent.
Precedent. Like the President of the United
States, it. Hurts me.
It hurts me what you're saying. Anyways, the the the the call in
(02:50):
shows have been the Collins havebeen great, great.
We've been getting them from a really diverse area abroad and
different. States.
Different states, different ages.
Absolutely. I can't wait.
Different shaped mouths I'm I'm guessing the voices sound
different. The voices definitely sound
different. Yeah, there were some gay
(03:11):
sounding voices in there too. That I did that that.
Listen, it's just what they and it's just what they.
Yeah. And that their mouth shape is is
great. Very round for all the Dicks
occurring. I know you're thinking it.
You're thinking it Well, I just get to say it.
It was our conversation off air about the noses.
(03:32):
That's true that gay people havefrom smashing against the pubic.
From all the blow jobs. Yeah, they have a sort of off
kilter nose. Yeah, asymmetric noses.
Apparently, that's science. Apparently, yeah.
I don't know. I don't know if this, I think we
might be mixing causation and correlation, but you know.
Again, 2 words don't know. Fair.
(03:56):
But they end in elation. So does elation and I am elated
to get into these cases. Yes.
Should we? Get into the cases.
OK, let's go. Let's go, let's go.
Hi Premeditated, this is Dominique Kyne.
(04:20):
My number is and I live in Austin, TX.
My question is if you bring a bottle of wine to a party is it
OK to open it and pour a glass for yourself or is it always
considered a gift? I usually bring a gifted bottle
and a drink it bottle but I havebeen known to cheat at my own
(04:40):
role. Thank you.
Bye. Bye.
Hi. Wow George, this this new
kitchen looks amazing. Doesn't it?
We got a new backsplash. We we just painted the old
cabinets. We didn't even get new cabinets.
Can you believe these are the same cabinets you're?
(05:02):
Kidding. Wait, did you paint them
yourself or did you have a professional?
I had a professional you know that I hate.
I will not get dirty. No, Yeah, yeah, your hands are
baby soft. Jimmy, it's so nice to see you.
Thanks for coming over. I I I brought a Malbec.
I think it's from Argentina. It's an Argentina Malbec.
OK, I just thought I. Argentinian wines good.
(05:23):
I think so. Yeah, I mean, there's a whole,
there's a sign in Trader Joe's, a little chalkboard sign that
says Argentina. So I think they make multiple
wines. They have all section.
Listen, you've never seen me. I've never seen on Argentinian
wine, but that's cool. It's quite.
Yeah, it's really good actually.I'm thirsty.
Do you have a bottle? Opener.
(05:43):
Yeah, here, Corkscrew. Yeah, I'll just do it myself.
I'll do it myself. Glasses.
Yeah, my gosh. And these are new glasses too.
We got all new stemware when we did the the backsplash.
For myself, glug glug, glug glug.
(06:04):
And then, yeah, you want some. Yeah, yes, please.
I'm holding the glass. Who wants this coming tonight?
Mary and her new girlfriend. You know how lesbians are.
They'd like move so fast. I and I heard this one's a
drinker too. This. 1 is a drinker.
Yeah, I heard. Drunk, so I'm gonna go ahead
and. Get beat her to the punch, shall
(06:25):
we? Yeah, I'm gonna get this ball
back down dry in a good way though.
A good dry. How they the good way to
describe? Beverages.
I think it's pretty fruity. I've.
Always thought that was funny. Why do they call champagne dry?
It seems pretty wet to me. This is a Malbec.
It's right, Champagne, yes, of course.
(06:45):
But to describe I'm just. Why do they call champagne dry?
Or just any? Any wines?
Yeah, I think it has to do with the mouthfeel.
OK, OK. I'm surprised you don't know
that you went to USCI did and. Sociology degree.
That's what I mean. It's a pretty professorial
degree. I would expect you to know a
(07:09):
little bit more about wines maybe.
I don't know. Well, I got to say this party
ain't going to be dry because cheers Clink.
It's good stuff. Listen, I do love the idea of
getting absolutely shit faced. I.
Want to pour myself some more ofthat?
Honestly, let's just finish the bottle before I I just.
Finished it myself. These are pretty big glasses,
(07:39):
all rise for Dominique from Austin, TX.
Hey, thanks nee ha Yee ha. It's bigger in Texas.
The bottles are bigger in Texas the those wine bottles.
Those wine bottles are huge in Texas and so are the court
cases. Yes they are and they are.
They are bigger court cases and they are less just than other.
(08:01):
States, right? Yes.
As soon as I said it, I was like, this has some real world
implications. Yes, not just for our little
funny little podcast that we do.Thank you, Dominique.
Thank you for calling in. We're so happy to have you on
our voicemail. This was at a dinner party.
Something was brought to the dinner party.
(08:21):
A bottle of wine. Exactly how was that bottle of
wine addressed? This is part of the case.
The person who brought it drank it exactly.
Yes, and the person who brought it opened it as.
Well that's also true. I didn't notice those things.
The my character did pretty muchget on board.
Yeah, but. You want a glass of wine?
(08:41):
But I can see some people reallygetting their knots in A twist.
Yes, about it. This is so fun because this is
quite literally the Marlboro Ryeepisode from Seinfeld.
Almost. Oh.
There's more reactions in there.It's a very famous episode.
You have to watch the show. It's.
I've never seen an episode of Seinfeld.
Yeah, you're not going to start now.
You're not. I am almost 40.
(09:02):
That's also what I love about you is I can just say signpo
references in front of you and you just think I'm saying a
funny. Thing I just think you're
hilarious. Or you have no idea what I'm
talking about. And in that case, I'm just blow
past it. OK, so Mark, Mark Dominique
wants to know, yeah, I'm stuck on Martinique the country.
Why am I stuck on? Martinique is a country.
Yeah, it's in the Caribbean, I think.
(09:24):
I thought I knew it, Martinique.It's an.
Island country. I know that for.
Sure. All right.
Well. It might be off the coast of
Madagascar. I thought I knew all one of the
warm motions. It's either Indian or the
Caribbean. OK.
Anyways, Dominique would like toknow if there are rules on
opening a bottle you bring. To a party, I think, yeah, you
(09:48):
can start. I think there's so.
OK, let's say I bring a bottle to your party.
Easy to imagine. You already have open bottles?
Like maybe I'm like the 4th or 5th person to arrive.
May perhaps there's a wine bottle already open.
What if I go over to the drinks table and start opening my own
bottle? Is that OK if there's already a
(10:11):
wine rotation? I'm not going to care.
Personally, yeah, Because it's already, it's just, OK, that's
that. Then people start drinking out
of that bottle. If there's no bottle, it's
already out. So like you're just sitting at a
dinner and they just grab their bottle because Dominique thinks
that it also could be a gift gesture.
So you're kind of opening a giftthat you got for somebody.
Yes. If it comes in a bag.
(10:35):
If you're bringing a bottle of wine in a bag.
First off, slap it. Slap the bag.
No, not a bag of wine. Oh, like you, child.
That shows you what kind of gifts I'm bringing to the party.
Jeez, Sally and I went to a birthday party this past weekend
and we stopped on the way and wegot a bottle of wine for the
(10:56):
party and we got a gift bag thatperfectly fits a bottle of wine.
Follow up question, does the baghave handles or is it one of the
just the brown paper sleeves? It has just a little.
Yeah, it's got 2 little strings on it.
That's a gift. That's a gift.
I think handles is gift. Handles is a 1000% to.
Go if it's just a little sleeve that.
If it's a paper bag with a bottle of wine in it, you're
(11:17):
just, you're just drinking. Or if you're bear bagging it,
you just got the bottle in hand.I think that's more of you're
bringing this to everybody with expectations.
Talk about bear bagging it. No bag.
Oh, oh, I see. Yes, bare handing it, I should
probably be making more sense. Yeah, If yeah.
So I think it the presentation counts.
I think in this situation, whichI I'm glad we talked this out, I
(11:39):
would not have got to this conclusion.
Is it? Is it like gift wrapped slash
like in a gift bag slash being presented as a gift?
If so, it is absolutely inappropriate for you to be the
one to open it. Yes.
And I think also, if there's an exchange of hands, if say,
you're coming to my party, I open the door for you, you go,
(12:00):
hi, how's it going? We brought this and you hand it
to me. Gift.
Yes, but are. You gonna cause like if I take
that bottle, go sit down in the kitchen, you're not gonna go
grab that bottle and oh, start opening that once you've handed
it to me. If it gets set down on the
counter I might go open it. If it's set down the counter by
(12:21):
the the host. By the host like in an easy to
reach like this is for the evening place.
The question is, is it for the evening or is it for later?
And, and but third example, it gets set on the table where
we're gonna have dinner. I will go ahead and open that,
(12:43):
but I will wait until dinner. And you, I feel like you'd
probably, I think you'd ask the table be like, does anybody mind
if I open this type of thing? I would not ask the table.
I do not ask for permission. But what if?
But what if they have like a bottle that they were?
And they wouldn't put it in the center of the table.
Yeah, it's true, this is a sticky case.
I think there's, I think there'svery.
I don't think it's sticky at all.
I think it's very clean lines. If it's sat on the table, it's
(13:05):
fine for you to open once dinnerhas started.
See, to me that almost feels like going to someone's
Thanksgiving and carving their Turkey.
It's like the if it if it if it's in the center of the table,
that's the hosts. Cause the host pours usually I
think I think. Traditionally, I don't think so.
(13:27):
Not you. Don't think the host the host.
Of course, I think, I think it has to be so formal for the for
the host to pour. Otherwise I think it's just
like, here's here's the bottles of wine that we have for the
evening in the center of the table.
Here's the one we're working on,and everybody pours their own.
In this case, there's multiple bottles of wine on the table,
not just the one you brought. If it's just, I don't.
(13:48):
Think it matters? I think it does.
Oh my God, why? Why does it matter?
Because because if it's a group of bottles of wine that's like a
communal, everybody's drinking. If it's one bottle of wine that
you bought that's the literal centerpiece of the table,
that's, I feel like that puts iton a proverbial pedestal a
little bit. And I think in that case, I
(14:09):
might have to go with the host. I think you, the host might have
to open and pour 'cause it's like, it's like the featured
item. It's not one of many items.
If no one has been drinking already, then I think you're
right actually. Yeah, because it's it's like
we're having. A Hey, we've waited for
everybody. No cocktails have been served.
No drinks have been served. I haven't been served anything
(14:30):
of my own so far. We sit down to dinner.
I'm not going to, I'm not going to be the one to start that
bottle of wine. You're right.
This is this is one of the most contentious I think we've gotten
in a lot, which is. So good, there's so many.
It's actually there's a lot of rules.
OK. So I think, yeah, I think, oh
boy, my mind is worrying on the unprecedented levels.
(14:51):
If if there's one bottle of wineon the table.
Yes, if it's a featured wine. Well, sure, it's there's one
bottle of wine on the table, buteveryone's already been drinking
wine and everyone's setting downwine glasses that have already
had wine in it. Then it's fine again.
Yes, yes I agree. I think if they are are similar,
if there's if drinks are on rotation, your bottle becomes
(15:12):
part of that rotation and you can open that whenever you when
you please and you can pour it and you can you should offer of
course. Right.
The inauguration of drinking is really what the host is
responsible for. Yeah, right.
And, and the, the host has responsibilities to be like,
hey, if the host wants you to serve yourself, they're
responsible for telling you that, you know?
(15:36):
But if there's already glasses of wine going out around,
there's a few bottles on the counter, there's one bottle on
the table. I probably don't touch it until
dinner, but I feel I would feel totally comfortable opening
that. Yeah.
But if no one has started drinking yet, I'm not touching
that bottle of wine until the host acknowledges.
(15:57):
That it's either. By serving it or saying
something. Yeah, I think, I think this
issue can kind of be summed up on two different levels.
There's presentation, like we said with a bag, if it's a bag
with handles, that's a gift. You can't open that.
And and a quantity if there's many drinks or many bottles,
(16:18):
open it up, fill these shoes. If there's a, if it's like a
bottle, like is if it was a bottle of liquor, I think I
think most liquor bottle, if youbring up unopened bottle of
liquor to someone's house, somebody's house, that's a gift.
Well, what if it's like a littlelike Crown Royal purple bag?
I don't know Crown, but like, yeah.
Maybe. People have gifted like I've
been gifted like a bottle of whiskey before or like, you
(16:39):
know, like a, a kind of a specialery.
Yeah, liquor. That's probably true.
But like if I bring I brought over a box of beer here.
Yeah, I'm not going to wait. Yeah, No, of course not.
There's many beers in there, just open when you're thirsty.
Yeah. So I, I think it comes in.
Yeah. So I think it's.
And he was the bringer of the box.
You set it down on the counter, you crack one open.
(17:01):
Yeah, right away. That's not rude to me.
No, Yeah, yeah, there's. So I think that.
There's eleven other beers in there, yeah.
The same thing applies to the wine, though, unless like the
drinking hasn't started is just my big thing or it unless,
unless it's presented as I want you to save this, then it's up
to the host to recognize that it's being presented as a gift
that you want them to save. Otherwise they may serve it that
(17:25):
night. I think that's usually fine,
unless it's like a very nice bottle of wine, but then you
have to know something about wine.
And then you're like, there's like other communication that
yeah, exactly. There's Yikes.
Nobody has time to learn wines. It's crazy.
But yeah, it's, I think, I thinkit's complicated and I think it
(17:47):
all has to do with like once those that dam is broken, it's
all fair game. For sure, yeah.
Yeah, but you get to kind of signal whether or not that dam
is meant to be broken as well asa guest.
This is 1 hell of a case, Dominique OH.
Geez. We're going to have to have you
(18:08):
come on the pod to figure this out.
Yeah. We, we, we might revisit this.
Yeah. Oh, should we take our podcast
to Austin? We have a lot of listeners.
Oh my. God, yes, let's do it.
Texas, we're coming to you. We're.
Coming to you. Case closed.
Yeah, case closed. Presentation matters.
And if the dam has been breached, it's OK.
Love it. Love it.
(18:35):
Neil I loved that case. I'm ready for another.
Bring it on. Hey this is Dylan from Miami and
I like always refuse to answer group texts and I think my
friends all hate me for it. Is that a problem?
Should I just not answer group text anymore?
I don't know. Oh, Danny, did you bring salad?
(19:01):
Did I bring the salad? Yeah, it's the potluck.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I, I, I, I, I just did a little
spring mix and then I put a little soft cheese on top and,
and cranberry, dried cranberry. So OK.
That's. Very interesting, Danny.
Was I supposed to bring something else?
No, it's exactly what we wanted.Oh, OK, so.
(19:22):
So you Good job, Danny. The group.
Text. Yeah, I, I, yeah, I skim it at
the end of the day. But you never seem to respond.
It just would I be really contributing to it?
No. You're listen, I'm glad you're
here. I'm glad you brought the salad.
(19:44):
I I got the information from thegroup text.
But Danielle already is bringinga backup salad.
Oh. Danielle's here.
Yes, she's on the group text. Is that the 858 number that I
keep? Oh my God.
I. Haven't saved that number on my
phone yet. What?
What do you have against Danielle?
I'm not ready to talk to her on a personal direct message basis.
(20:08):
It's. Not even direct, it's in the
group text. I know that's I want to keep it
that way. So you're just not going to talk
to the whole group text because you don't want to talk to
Danielle? No, no, no, no, Chief, you're
not. You're not thinking this
through. OK.
I don't want to save her number in my phone so I don't know when
she texts the group chat. I have no idea who that is.
(20:29):
Oh my God, and I'm fine with it.All right, It just seems like
you're not taking the group textseriously enough.
I mean, I can barely believe, I can barely believe it that you
successfully got a salad to thisparty.
I mean, I can barely believe thekinds of memes that Danielle
with the 858 area code is sending to that many people.
It's just SpongeBob stuff. Yeah, or like the Homer backing
(20:53):
into the hedge thing. It's like, what is this, 2012?
Come on, like just get with a program.
What would you said? What's your favorite meme I.
Don't know, maybe words. Words to express my feelings.
Rather than gifts. Yeah.
OK, well I listen. I still think that the meme
group is very fun. It's fun for some, but frankly,
(21:16):
some of us in the literary community of which I count
myself you. Literary Community You're a copy
editor for car and car for a carmagazine.
I I have half of mind to take these dried cranberries off my
salad. You guys do not serve.
You know what? Take I'll I'll take the
cranberries off your salad. Do it.
(21:37):
Look at this, do it want. That's a very good time.
That's a very meme sender thing for you to do.
You just want the basic just salad in a bowl reaction, huh,
Don't you? You don't want a little.
You don't want to liven up the conversation.
And with a little dried fruit, maybe a toasted nut on top.
Danny, I'm going through a divorce and I really was excited
(21:59):
for you to be here. Oh my God, Chief.
It's so bad. All rise for the Honorable Dylan
from Miami Bravo. Bravo, Dylan.
Bravo, Dylan. Bravo, Dylan.
(22:19):
So what do you think it is? I think this has to do with
group chat lurkers, people who, because I think you made a point
in the scene to point out that Ihad been reading the group
chats. So it's not like somebody who's
just in a big long group chat that they never check.
It's somebody who's there who reads them but doesn't
(22:39):
contribute. Well, yes, that is that is
definitely part of it. I would love to get into like
the greater because this is about the greater group chat
chat etiquette, you know, like unresponsive group text, group
text members. You know, of which I am so
guilty. I have muted so many I will if I
(23:01):
may get put in a group text. First thing that's happening is
I'm muting it. That makes sense.
For a couple of our group chats,there are some WhatsApp polls
that you have not responded to. Yeah, I just find it so hard to
keep up sometimes and. I have some muted group chats as
well. Yeah.
OK. So it's not just me.
But it's not when I get added into one, I usually.
(23:24):
Yeah, yeah. It's not just you.
OK, because like I will electively check them and then
occasionally respond, but like it is and listen, they still
come up to the top of my texts. So so I know when I check my
general messages that they're there.
But if it's I don't mind A3 Fer.Three friends and.
(23:46):
Three people, yeah, yeah. Or like 3 like that is.
That is almost always hey, we'redoing something and there needs
to be 3 people talking about. Yeah, that that typically has
more of a purpose, I think. I I think I'm with you, although
I know that we treat our inboxesdifferently.
Yes, we do. I'm an inbox zero.
(24:06):
You're an inbox ignore, Yes. So even when I do mute chats, I
will still click on them to get rid of the bolded unread and
then just go. So I I but I won't scroll up
because there's some group chatsI want and like there's it's
just I'm 20 messages too late. Whatever information I need is
(24:27):
already gone or I don't need in the 1st place.
So just like let sleeping sheep sleep.
Listen, I think that's fine. I am.
I really don't love the format. Yeah, it's kind of like it's a
very echoey room. Like there's just a lot of
(24:48):
voices. And it's a very centralized form
of communication because everybody can just text any
thought they wanted it, and not all thoughts need to be said.
Sorry, guys. Sorry, America, not all of your
thoughts need to be OK. OK, we're going to.
We're going to blow past that because like, everybody
(25:09):
deserves. To be oh did I cross the line?
Oh I crossed the line. Mr. doesn't read his.
Mr. mutes his group chats on basis cross the line.
Listen, I don't have anything tosay to defend myself, but.
But you'll say something I'll say.
Something else, and I deserve tobe heard.
Yes, the I, I, I'm part of I. I was never a part of group
(25:32):
texts until recently and I feel like it's because I've met a lot
of like new kinds of people, chat people, I've met group chat
people and I think there is a group chat type person.
There are people, I think. I'm guilty of being a group chat
person. Really.
You are one of those people then.
Well, I have done a lot of hey, I want people to come over to my
(25:54):
house on a certain day and I'll make a group chat of everybody.
That's that's a logistical group, that's a broadcast is
what that is. OK, OK, So I'm guilty of
broadcast. If I'm guilty of one thing, it's
broadcast. It's like broadcast television.
Here's the logistics. If anyone has additional
questions, other people in the group probably have the same
questions. Let's get to the meat of it.
(26:14):
That's. Fine.
And and and people, my friends listening at home, they can
check me on this. I don't think I use those for
purposes other than that get together.
I won't come back four months later and be like, oh, hey, just
so you guys know, I have an improv show on Saturday.
Here's like a link to the tickets.
I won't do I won't. I don't do that.
I'm an honorable comedian. Yeah, that's that's honorable.
(26:36):
That's great. Thank you.
That's exactly right. There have been group tax that
start as organization for some big get together.
Suddenly I'm getting pictures from numbers I don't have saved
in my phone and it's I know who it is because it's the person
sending like selfies of them doing something like four months
(26:56):
after this party. Eventually they tend to trail
off and like a new group is formed somewhere else.
Whatever. But I I'm like, I don't know why
they're texting me pictures of them and a dog or pictures of
them playing a sport or something like that.
I was just like, I don't understand what's going on.
(27:17):
Just hiked rattlesnake Ridge. Exactly.
Exactly. And it's like, oh, thought of
everybody who was at this party months ago.
I don't understand it, but I wish that I had that kind of
innocence. Do you?
And to a certain I imagine that that person I feel like.
You don't want. I feel like you don't wish that
innocence. I feel like you.
(27:37):
You may want that innocence, butdeep down I don't think you I.
Want to want it? Yeah.
Where it's just like, oh, it seems so happy.
I want you to want me. That's very, that's a different
want. But doesn't there seem something
like there's it's like on full display, like people just being
(27:58):
like earnestly enjoying something and just like being
like, this is what I'm doing right now.
I wish I had the the like just the the commitment to happiness
to do that. And I think group text people
are probably just happier people.
Yeah, I think, I think group text people, I think it's kind
(28:20):
of inherent in their definition where they are that they're
they're well liked people because they have many people
that they'd want or at least if they think they have good
connections with people that want all, you know, like get
together. So I think, yeah, I think there
is like a sort of like a joyous innocence to that, which is what
you're talking about, yeah. But like, I don't think I am a
(28:42):
joy. I am in general, like a joyful
man for sure. Yeah.
And I, I, I'm exuberant. Neil, you got joy.
Thank you. Thank you.
But I have like an exuberance and like I, I, well, people like
me, Yeah. And people are.
I've got lots of friends and stuff.
I don't in person. I don't do the next thing.
Like as your friend, I, it's notthat I wouldn't trust you to
(29:04):
start a group chat, but I just don't think you would do it.
Like I like if if there needs tobe a group chat with us and
other people, I wouldn't expect you to be the one to start the
group chat. And it's much less participate
beyond like a just here's, OK. Yeah, it's not your nature.
What turn do you take off the highway?
Whatever. Like, yeah.
(29:24):
Great information. Information.
Yeah, yeah. So wait, So what is who?
Who called in Dylan from Miami, Dylan from Miami?
Is Dylan from Miami concerned that Daniel from the scene is
reading the group chat or what'swhat's his concern?
His. Concern His concern is he needs
(29:45):
to understand group text etiquette.
Oh, oh, perfect broad. OK.
I thought, I thought it was likespecific on like people,
people's participation. Yeah.
So I think, I think group chat culture is I think stems from a
joy of community. I agree actually.
(30:06):
And I but I do think that with all things in life, there are
abuses of that. And any multimedia is an abuse.
Because because I think this is exactly what I think our show
needs to do, is put a line on this.
Because by having joined group chats, people then think that
(30:27):
anything in a group chat equals joy, which I don't think is
true. Oh my.
God, no, it does not. And in fact, putting me in a
group chat is disrespectful because it puts the
responsibility on me to communicate broadly with
everybody in the group when in fact, like I'm like, this can
(30:50):
wait. Suddenly there's six people
watching me have that thought. I don't need that kind of
exactly, yeah. I don't need that surveillance.
Exactly, because a lot of group when they and it comes for the
broadcast information, a lot of that is like safe for, you know,
a group trip. It's like, oh, hey, like send me
your flight info so I know what time to get the rental car or
(31:10):
like, you know, whatever, whatever.
That's personal information thatnow, like now that I have to
give out to the requester plus eleven other requesters friends.
That is, that is protected information in Europe.
Wait, PII? Personally identifying
information. Identifying.
I was just thinking Pi OK personal identifying
(31:31):
information. What's your favorite form of
personal identifying information?
My social Yeah. Should I say it on?
The pie, yeah. Case closed.
Case closed. Who loves the phone?
We love the phone. I love the phone.
(31:52):
Let's listen to the phone calls.Should you be able?
Should you? Should it be a should you be
able to set to say stuff to singradio songs and not have other
people want you to not? Other people like who?
(32:15):
Like your sister or your or yourfamily member?
Is this really such a problem? Yeah.
What would you want to sing along to?
Like KUSE and KSE rock. Station and what's your name and
(32:37):
where do you live? My name is Hilton Eunice Macker
Mayer and I live in the city of LA is in LA County and my house
my address. Is no, no, Don't give that.
It might be on the radio. OK Should you be able to sing on
(33:01):
the when the radio is playing a good song?
Yeah. Yeah.
Some people say no. Yeah.
All right, Kansas City, here we come.
I'm. So excited I've never been.
I've heard it has a huge. Airport I've actually never.
(33:23):
I've only driven here. I've never flown in.
Yeah, I've never driven or flownin.
Oh well, I guess this is your first time driving.
Well, the drive is nice. You go through all the
cornfields, I think. All right, all right.
Yeah. Flat Plains.
OK, we're coming. We're all, we're like halfway
there from Austin. Oh, did you pick up snacks for
the road? Did I pick up snacks?
I got a little. I got a little bag of pretzels
(33:46):
at the gas station. OK, Is that enough?
Should we stop and get some more?
Yeah, we'll probably have to stop, but I mean, it's just
that's an open Rd. for now, all right?
Let's take. A driver DJ.
Are you fine with me being the DJ because I'm the driver?
Yeah, it's your car, your rules.Let's.
Just do, let's do, let's I kind of just do radio in here.
So I'm going to do that's kind. Of classic, actually.
(34:07):
I didn't take you as like a radio guy.
I love 9772. 97 Two. They play like a lot of like 80s
and 90s type stuff, but then they also play some new age.
You know, it's kind of fun. Terrestrial radio is a little
bit underrated because like. This is the new Lady Gaga Ariana
Grande song. This is This is a really good
one. OK, All right.
I think I'm I may not be drunk, but at least I'm alive.
(34:32):
Rain on me, rain, rain, rain on me, rain, rain.
I love this song. Rain on me, rain, rain, rain on
me. And this is the part where it
picks up OK. All right, all right.
It's. A little loud.
(34:52):
Can we turn it down? Yeah, yeah.
I'll turn it down, OK. Yeah, well.
That's fun. Yeah, that's such a good one.
I really, I love Lady Gaga. What?
What color? Is her hair do you think I've
seen it in so many? Colors like her, her original
color. What color grows out of her head
or what is it now? Grows out of her head.
I think she's probably dirty blonde.
Dirty blonde. So like in Star Star is born
(35:14):
that color. I was more.
Brown That's the only movie thatI've ever walked out on, really.
Star is Morton made me so angry I walked out on it.
Save this thought for a little Ihave a theatre experience
because I because I because I really yeah the stars born
theater experience for both of us I think was interesting.
OK Oh my God oh they're playing they're playing Bowling For Soup
now I love Bowling For Soup. Oh OK says Bruce Springsteen
(35:36):
Madonna way before Nirvana thereis U2 and Blondie and music
still on MTV are insane now two kids in high school in town now
she's uncle but she's still preoccupied with. 19/19/1985
you're going. To sing along the entire way to
Kansas City because like, the radio will play a lot of random
(35:57):
songs that we don't necessarily need to sing along with Driver.
DJ, those are the rules your. Car your rules.
Oh, there's a sign. Kansas City 352 more miles
19/19/1985 Says we're singing Madonna.
(36:19):
All rise for the most honorable and most professional Hilton
from Los Angeles County, Los. Angeles County, Los.
Angeles yes, Hilton is from Los Angeles County.
OK, he almost gave out his actual address, but I his, his
supervisor on the on the phone or his, his reporting manager or
(36:39):
no the, the mayor that reports to him because I'm pretty sure
Hilton's in charge told him not to give out his address.
So Hilton has a has a an excellent case.
OK, and here's what I think it is, Yes, I think it's I think
it's when somebody's singing along to the radio and you don't
want them to. Yes, I I think he goes more
(37:01):
generous. Like should you be?
Is it OK to sing along the songson the radio?
Was it was his case OK? That was a long, OK.
He's like a minute and a half long of watching you react to
it. You.
Got to listen to this. I mean, it was.
Cannot wait to hear. It I mean we really have our
demographic of listeners all. Over the place wide, yeah.
Because yeah, because. Well, so his his dad, I'm
(37:23):
assuming it was his dad or his guardian or whoever I was was
there with him and to to help summarize occasion also to help
him not give out his address because he was like, say, say
your name where you live. And he goes Hilton from Los
Angeles County and I live at 432.
And he's like, Oh no, no, don't say that part.
Oh, it's amazing. Yeah.
So the case is, is it OK to singalong the songs on the radio?
(37:47):
I mean, I'm gonna be totally honest with you.
It drives me crazy. Yeah, I thought, I don't mean to
generalize, but I thought you might say this.
Yeah, yeah, I try and have fun. Everybody around me is always
having so much fun. Literally, I was coming back
from the Renaissance Festival orgoing to the Renaissance
(38:08):
Festival with Doctor Tess, guestof the pod and my boyfriend and
another friend of ours. And she was like, Neil put on
something that we can all sing along to.
And I was just like, no, no. And I hate to, I hate to let her
know this because I did it with feigned enthusiasm, but I
absolutely cannot stand a Carpool Karaoke.
(38:31):
It drives me Batty. I I can't say in.
Love to do it. I can't say in Carpool karaoke
with James Corden. I think that's and just it's
like be more creative pleased with your national television
show. OK, but I think this is where
your level of intellectuality serves you wrong.
(38:54):
You have you have two gifted of an ear.
I know it's actually like a problem.
It is and. It makes it makes like standard
karaoke sometimes a stretch. It makes it a stretch to be fun.
I love to do it and I love to doit with my friends.
And I think it's very social. I really like, I really like it
as like something that we can all kind of gather around and
(39:15):
like do this thing. But like, I think people take it
I, I, I get bored a lot faster than other people I think.
Right. You know, Right, Right.
Yeah, Yeah. Speaking of which, can you bring
a karaoke machine to my birthdayparty?
Do you? Something I got 1 upstairs.
Yes, we're going to do karaoke there.
This it's it's kind of it's sucha funny case.
(39:36):
Thank you again, Hilton, Becauseit's like, you know, you know
the old joke when you're singingalong to a song and somebody
goes, oh, who sings this? And you go like Lady Gaga and
the and the person goes, yeah, keep it that way.
Oh, I love that. That is spicy.
I thought that was like a dad joke.
I've heard that millions of times.
OK, I love it. Yeah, yeah.
I mean like you sing the song they tell you and then they and
(39:56):
they do it. So I think this is kind of a
stemming from that because I I could see there's for search
situations when I've been in a car with somebody singing and
I've been like, shut the. The front of your mouth it.
Feels like since a child gave usthis one I've been stopping
myself from swearing during. This Oh, I for sure have.
(40:19):
I also still want to talk to youabout A star is born.
Oh my God, but it's not shot appropriate parts of that movie,
so we're going to save that for maybe something else.
All right, I'll try to be. Should I be quiet about it or
just not mention? It Oh my God, let's just talk
about it. So I I saw it with I saw it with
an old girlfriend who Speaking of intellectual different, I
(40:39):
don't know. Basically we watched that movie
and the part where Bradley Cooper is no more caught her by.
Oh really? Yeah, what's been a read on
movie He dies or whatever. Yeah, he he's self-inflicted.
Oh. He kills himself.
OK, it's so broadcast through like most of the movie, and she
was so caught off guard by it that in the theater she turns
(41:01):
and looks at me and goes. And I was like, yeah, of course
he's going to do that. Like, it was like, literally
like the second it happened was when she realized it.
And I was like, this entire scene has been leading up to
this moment anyways. It was.
It was. A so like so your feelings for
her actually declined for sure because of the narrative beats
or? Whatever.
(41:21):
She missed all the narrative andthen, like, took it very
seriously and was like, oh, thisis such a moving, sad movie.
And I'm like, oh, right. Yeah, the problem with A Star Is
Born for me is that Bradley Cooper goes to a drag show and
he literally plucks the one realgirl out of it and makes her a
(41:44):
star. And all the drag Queens are left
to just be like, we love her. We love her.
We love her the entire time. And just being like, we can be
abused and all this stuff and it's just like, it's all about
you, girl. Like, don't worry, we're just
gay fans, you know? And I made me so mad that I was.
It's the only movie that's made me so angry that I've had to
turn it off. So I was just like, this is the
most homophobic movie I've ever seen in my entire life.
(42:08):
It was so bad. And then I realized also that
there was another like movie, I think it was called like
Dumpling or something. Dumpling.
It's about some like Southern girl who makes friends with drag
Queens and stuff like that. And I was like, anywhere that
you find in the 2000 tens, anywhere that they put a drag
queen in a movie that would havebeen a little person in the 90s,
(42:31):
they serve the same narrative purpose.
Yeah, of being like, wow, what an other person who's actually
got a heart of gold. And we don't actually have to
care about them because they're there to serve all the normals.
Yeah, it's to make the hero lookbetter because they're friends
with the the the. Freaks.
Exactly, exactly. And it makes me so.
Also ** is born was like 2017 that's.
Yeah, right. Better right in the.
(42:52):
Yeah, right in the pocket. Anyways, we both hated Star is.
Born anyways, yes. You don't.
You didn't say you hated it. But I mean, I'm not going to say
I loved it either. Yeah, I'm a radio singer.
Yeah, I mean, I like to do it too.
It feels good. Oh, especially if it's a rap
song too. And you can.
Oh. You're the worst kind.
I know I don't well raps. I wouldn't do in front of
(43:16):
people, but like it's it's. Oh God.
Oh my God, Oh I love you. OK, no, no, no, no.
Like I, it's, it's because I, mymusical intellectuality is low
(43:39):
enough that like when I can, when I know the words, like it's
just knowing the words to a song.
Yeah, it's so fun to be like, hey, guess what?
I know the song so well. I can do all the words that is.
It's so lame. It's like when it's like when
you go from like your parents reading your books to like
reading them out loud by yourself.
It's like, look at like I know. All I get, I get that I get that
it's. Fun because I'm not trying to
(44:00):
sing for tone. We all know that I'm not right,
bitch. I mean, and I had maybe like one
or two rap songs that were like that for me too, King Kunta
being one of them. I loved.
Oh, interesting. And I knew, like, every word of
that song. The.
Whole but again, King Kunta, youknow, you know, but God damn,
that's a good song. Yeah, and, and, but I so like, I
(44:24):
like to, I like to sing along tomy like in the car to my own
stuff. To your own songs or.
I mean not to I mean I would if they're on I guess and I'm just
enjoying them, which usually I'mlike critically listening, but
but like to music that I love. Sometimes I will just like sing
along top of my lungs, but I would never do it with another
person there. What if they're singing too?
(44:48):
Like in the car or like? Then I want them to stop.
Really. Yeah, just hands down, always.
Wait, wait, no, no, if if you're.
If anyone. Who will never sing, It's
somebody else in the car. But if they're singing as a
song, say, say we're in a car together, I'm doing King Kunta,
you're not going to join in. I.
Probably would, but I would do it under duress.
(45:09):
It's believable. Yeah.
Yeah. I I really like.
Yeah. If a song is playing, I don't
want anyone. I don't want to hear someone
singing along to it. Ever.
It's just ever I unless it's me.Yeah, see, I'm generally pro.
It can be annoying, like like Shaggy.
It wasn't me. Was completely ruined for me
(45:29):
because a girl who I worked withat Plato's Closet would sing it
every single time it came on ourPandora playlist.
Yeah, which you would play. It would play once or twice a
day per shift. Frequently, yeah.
And it was just a girl that I already didn't have a great Co
worker in a relationship with. Nothing actually intentional,
but it's just like this is we'regonna see each other at work and
(45:50):
we're gonna play never outside of this.
We're gonna go pass pass in Plato's closet.
Yeah, we're gonna pass in Plato's closet.
But she would just. And she wouldn't sing the words
either. She would kind of like say them
got me banging on the counter, wasn't me, caught me on the
corner, wasn't me. It was just, it would just be
that. That's really rough.
And would do it like at the counter when we ring it up
(46:10):
customers, I'm like, these are not lyrics.
You can just like say like if like singing them softens them a
little bit. Like you can't.
Like it's just all about bangingon the counter, banging on the
floor. Right.
It's deeply sexual. But yeah, so that's not that
song has been run for me. Also Africa by Toto was ruined
for me in a similar situation. Not cuz somebody was singing it,
but just cuz they would come on that playlist every single day.
(46:31):
It was tough. Africa for Toto was ruined for
me for a different reason, but it's kind of a long story, I'll
tell it anyways. Like.
I went to like an AI Film Festival.
Eww. It was very EW.
And Neil never tell me about this again.
And there was like this crazy, like, oh, I'm like kind of a
shock jock, sort of like. A shock jock.
(46:53):
A shock jock at the AI Film Festival.
I trusted someone's recommendation.
Pu yeah. Oh my gosh.
He's very much like Toxic Avenger type.
Yeah, 80s I can imagine. And so now he's doing this and
he generated a bunch of AI videos of Toxic performing in
the 711 parking lot at Santa Monica Blvd.
(47:16):
And just essentially like being harassed.
The Toto was being harassed by homeless people and it was the
most racist thing I've ever seenin.
My Toto. Toto the band as if they're.
Was in Santa Monica, nice, kind.Of moth I missed it there it
goes. They're not they're not really
there. It's just AI generated, you
(47:38):
know, and you know this is. Like a mad libs it.
Seems like a mad libs thing but then it got so just unflattering
and disgusting and racist and itI.
And that ruined the song for you, which is.
Yeah, because like. Not, not anything Toto did, but
anything because. I loved that song before that,
but that's all I can think about.
Is this like? Grotesque bum bum bum bum bum.
(48:00):
Homelessness like just exploitation thing that anyways,
it sounds yucky. It was super yucky, but singing
Toto, Yeah, Toto singing in the car, Don't do it.
I this is this is a split case for me.
Oh God, we're there and normallyand normally I'm a pushover, but
(48:23):
I think for this one I have to Ihave to listen.
You could it's no one you're being annoying.
No one know that you should you should get OK, I'll put some
rules on it. It can't be every song and two
(48:44):
and anything more than two verses is a lot.
So like if you sing like, like if you sing a verse of King
Kunta or whatever fun, OK, he knows the lyrics.
If you come back in for the second verse, you're kind of
pushing your luck. If you do the whole, if you do
all three verses of the song, it's like, OK, are we just
supposed to sit here and wait for 3 1/2 minutes until you're
done with the song? I think then it gets a little
(49:06):
annoying. I think it's annoying at the
start. But but the starts of the songs
are the best parts to sing because those are the ones that
easiest to remember. Yeah.
I'll give you I'll give you 10 seconds at the start of each
song. All right, stop, collaborate and
listen. I suspect with a brand new
invention. Come on, you.
Yeah, Yeah. No, I guess three, I guess 3.
That's like 2. That's not even.
(49:26):
That's a quarter of a verse vanilla.
Ice. I mean, come on.
Case. Closed case.
Case open. Oh, oh, oh, oh, Neil, can you,
can you run down to the corner market and get me another case
file? Wow.
(49:49):

But yes, this is our first on leash walk.

day, I think, and it's nice whenone is actually in the morning.
(52:10):
OK. So is this about the good
morning? It's afternoon.
Good afternoon to you. I'm not going to say good
afternoon. I'm sorry Chris, I just, if I

you a worse afternoon. Just seems crazy.
Anyways, I need to go get his nails painted, so I'm going to

go. OK.

(53:38):
Well, thank you, Ryan and Renee.Renee, thank you very much.
The case at hand, is it as simple as an I'll timed?
Hello. It's not.
Quite so simple saying good morning when it's after 12:00
(53:59):
PM. That's it, That's it.
Good morning. When it's not morning, how am I
supposed? To oh, I am so guilty of this.
Yeah. Oh yeah.
Oh yeah. Right.
But like, when you're guilty of it, what the fuck do you want me
to do about it? I think that's really the
question, yeah. What am I supposed to do about
that? Just say hi back.
Is it that simple? Yeah, wait.
(54:21):
Wait, like. OK, it's close.
It's just. Yeah, kids close I guess because
like I do all the time, because it's, it's such a like a muscle
memory just greeting and it's always with like in passing on
the street. I, I don't think I've ever, I
think I've rarely said good morning when it's in the
morning, when I'm indoors. It's always just like, if it's
(54:42):
outside in the daylight, I'll just be like, oh, good morning,
just in passing. Yeah, I think, I think that's I
just move on. Very.
Yeah, move on with your day. It's because like.
It's yeah, Ryan, move on. Ryan, this is the first time
we've had a voicemail. Or we blame you off.
Get out of here. It's I feel like it's it's with
(55:02):
the same because of, yeah, of course you can't call it out.
That's like, it's like when you say like what's up to somebody
and they go the sky. It's like, oh come on, just say
give me my hello back. Should I mean in any world, is
there a way to correct them? Just be like, oh, it's
afternoon. I think that's insane.
Actually, it sounds wrong when Isay it loud.
(55:23):
Yeah, just ignore it. But OK, here's what I.
This is a good experience. This is a good experiment.
I'm going to say good morning toyou and you try to as pleasantly
and as good naturedly as possible and like you're the
nicest person ever. Correct me.
We're going to the premeditated labs for this.
This is a social experiment. Yes, OK.
OK. You ready?
(55:43):
Good morning, Nick. Hey, Steve, it's a little after
morning. No, see, that's, yeah, that's
that. Sounds so bitchy.
Just waiting for you to say thatword.
Yes, I completely agree. It's give me try again.
Yeah, yeah. Let me do one more experiment.
Yeah, let me try to you OK, you try it, Brian.
(56:05):
Good morning. Oh, hey, it's well, it's it's
see, I already started. OK, Give it to me again.
Give it to me again. I'm going to get it this time,
OK? Brian, good morning.
Hey, 1232, but I guess you're a little bit late.
Oh, God, you're like giving bad like, oh, I, I, I immediately
hated, I hated me as soon as youstarted.
Yeah, I hated you in that scene too.
(56:27):
I you, you were wearing like a golf shirt, you know, like the,
the, like athleisure golf shirtsthat are like, really brightly
colored. I'm like, yes, that's what you
were wearing bad horizontal. Yeah, horizontal stripes.
You pointed at me. I point out to you, I, I, I'm
not sure if you noticed if I checked my watch, that watch was
chunky, too chunky. Oh, my God.
So chunky. Yeah.
(56:48):
And like those and like those wrists have never lifted
anything in their lives. Oh, yeah.
Because, I mean, nobody. Yeah.
Nobody who's doing labor has time for any of that.
Kind of stuff. Yeah, I think it's, I think
that's an impossible phrase to turn.
It's kind of like, OK, I've always had this.
The phrase did I stutter? Impossible to say.
Nice. Impossible.
(57:10):
Oh, did I? Yeah, it's impossible.
I'm trying it. Oh did I stutter and.
Then did I stutter? Did I stutter?
Did I stutter? That's like a scene from, like,
Inglorious Bastards. Yes, you know what I mean?
Oh, did I stutter? Oh, and that's the thing.
Like the bead of sweat that means that everyone figured out
(57:30):
that like, they're all about to die.
In that that's that did I stutter is knowing that Germans
do three with their thumb and the two other fingers.
Yeah, exactly. That's what the actual scene is,
yeah. Yeah, it's a tough, I mean, if
callers, if you call in, call into a voicemail and tell us the
best way, do the did I stutter? But also more specifically, do
(57:52):
what's a good way to correct somebody who gives a good
morning in the afternoon? Because I I think it might be an
impossible task. It's.
If you can, if you can act out apolite way to correct someone
that it's the afternoon when they get a good morning in our
voicemail, we will make shirts which we don't have and send you
one. Yes, and we will also send you a
(58:16):
robe Ocean. All the robes.
You just have robes instead of shirts.
Oh my God, you're a genius. You're a marketing genius.
Yeah, and I think these were cheaper than most T-shirts that
we could don't. Tell the viewers that.
Yeah, it's an exclusive deal that not everybody can get on
Amazon.com. That's right.
(58:36):
One thing I will say hate morning so I don't want to hear
it ever. Oh yeah, but the word morning.
You hate the word morning. I hate the word morning, I hate
the time morning, I hate doing things in the morning.
It's it's just not my time, but.I, I, that's why we're good.
I like, I like the morning. I'm a big morning guy, that kind
of guy. I just, I feel like that's when
I mean, it's how is it not when your brain's freshest, it's when
(58:58):
it's had the most rest. It's true, but.
You're taller in the morning because you've been lying down
and stretching out all night. That's true too.
There's. Listen, I'm not saying there's
not benefits. I'm just saying it's not my
time. Yeah, it's not my time to shine
with that. I think.
Case closed. This is.
This one's easy for us. This one's easy.
Yeah. I, I think you just don't do it.
(59:19):
You just let that person have their missed timed good morning.
And but OK, I, I think, I think it's case closed for two reasons
that I just don't think you should do it.
I don't think you should correctsomebody, OK.
And because if you correct somebody, it's impossible to do.
It's impossible to not be a Dick, yeah.
Yeah, your mic's up. It's way low.
(59:39):
Low. Oh my gosh.
Lolo Jones. That's fine.
I finally got a word associationin.
Lolo Jones. Yeah, she's a professional
athlete. Case closed.
Case closed. America, thank you listeners,
(01:00:00):
callers, especially callers, wow, wow, the diversity of
issues that is plaguing you at your kitchen tables on your.
Plates at your workplaces. This is really a time when
things seem to be bad out there,yeah.
But if things are bad, then how come this podcast is so good?
(01:00:25):
Owie ow and it's. All thanks to you guys.
You guys a did our homework for us by coming up with this.
You guys got out in society and found these situations that were
either intriguing you or bothering you or interesting
you, and you brought them to us.You brought them to our Law
Offices at Premeditated and we thank you for it.
They were so fun to listen to. We're always keeping our phone
(01:00:46):
lines open, so feel free to leave us a voicemail for next
time and it may be featured on the show on Season 2.
This is our last shoot of Season1.
That's a wrap, folks. That is a wrap, yeah.
It's incredible and we will be starting Season 2 in no time
flat. I don't want to give a date yet
because we don't actually know yet.
(01:01:07):
I can't even believe we're doingseasons but it's freaking
awesome. It's been a pleasure being in
your ears for, I don't know, thepast.
Seven months. Seven months.
Yeah, it's been great. I don't know.
Something like that. It's all been a blur.
It's been, it's been a blur of colorful court cases and fun
(01:01:28):
memories. And we thank you guys for that
God. Bless us.
God bless every American. Yes, and the court system.
God bless the court system whichis losing power.
Problem by all this is premeditated.
Hello, America, Welcome back to Night Court.
Only it's not Night Court. It's me and Neil.

offer of a lifetime. For a limited time only, you can
use your cellular telephone and call the number here.

I'll say it for you anyways, 202-810-4256 call this number.
Only call this number. Not you don't, don't.

And if it's not help, just remember it's a podcast.
I'll bang my gavel to that call today.
(01:04):
We'll see you around the courthouse.
This is premeditated. The podcast investigating
society's unwritten laws and theheinous ways they're broken.
True crime, low stakes. I'm Neil, I'm Graham, and this
(01:24):
is premeditated. Hello America, we're back with
Part 2 of our Call in episode. We had so many great cases.
I mean our inbox is piled high with Manila folders.
We're not even getting through. I don't, I don't think even half
(01:45):
of these that we've got. Well, very nice people left us
multiple case files because people are guys.
People got problems, people got problems.
And they we are here to not solve them but tell them how
they should be solved. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
All of the advice we have is foryou to do on your own time.
(02:06):
We're not doing any of the emotional.
No, no, no. That's not what the law is for.
The law is not for that. It's for trying to help you do
your thing. And it's for just telling you
how you're fucking up. Yeah, that's most of what?
That's most of what we do. Yeah.
OK, you're screwing up in this way.
Uh huh. Yeah.
I mean, but that is what the real judges do.
(02:28):
It's literally true. That's called precedent.
I don't even know what that wordmeans, but it sounds like
something a judge would say. You are on a legal podcast,
Graham. Precedent.
Precedent. Like the President of the United
States, it. Hurts me.
It hurts me what you're saying. Anyways, the the the the call in
(02:50):
shows have been the Collins havebeen great, great.
We've been getting them from a really diverse area abroad and
different. States.
Different states, different ages.
Absolutely. I can't wait.
Different shaped mouths I'm I'm guessing the voices sound
different. The voices definitely sound
different. Yeah, there were some gay
(03:11):
sounding voices in there too. That I did that that.
Listen, it's just what they and it's just what they.
Yeah. And that their mouth shape is is
great. Very round for all the Dicks
occurring. I know you're thinking it.
You're thinking it Well, I just get to say it.
It was our conversation off air about the noses.
(03:32):
That's true that gay people havefrom smashing against the pubic.
From all the blow jobs. Yeah, they have a sort of off
kilter nose. Yeah, asymmetric noses.
Apparently, that's science. Apparently, yeah.
I don't know. I don't know if this, I think we
might be mixing causation and correlation, but you know.
Again, 2 words don't know. Fair.
(03:56):
But they end in elation. So does elation and I am elated
to get into these cases. Yes.
Should we? Get into the cases.
OK, let's go. Let's go, let's go.
Hi Premeditated, this is Dominique Kyne.
(04:20):
My number is and I live in Austin, TX.
My question is if you bring a bottle of wine to a party is it
OK to open it and pour a glass for yourself or is it always
considered a gift? I usually bring a gifted bottle
and a drink it bottle but I havebeen known to cheat at my own
(04:40):
role. Thank you.
Bye. Bye.
Hi. Wow George, this this new
kitchen looks amazing. Doesn't it?
We got a new backsplash. We we just painted the old
cabinets. We didn't even get new cabinets.
Can you believe these are the same cabinets you're?
(05:02):
Kidding. Wait, did you paint them
yourself or did you have a professional?
I had a professional you know that I hate.
I will not get dirty. No, Yeah, yeah, your hands are
baby soft. Jimmy, it's so nice to see you.
Thanks for coming over. I I I brought a Malbec.
I think it's from Argentina. It's an Argentina Malbec.
OK, I just thought I. Argentinian wines good.
(05:23):
I think so. Yeah, I mean, there's a whole,
there's a sign in Trader Joe's, a little chalkboard sign that
says Argentina. So I think they make multiple
wines. They have all section.
Listen, you've never seen me. I've never seen on Argentinian
wine, but that's cool. It's quite.
Yeah, it's really good actually.I'm thirsty.
Do you have a bottle? Opener.
(05:43):
Yeah, here, Corkscrew. Yeah, I'll just do it myself.
I'll do it myself. Glasses.
Yeah, my gosh. And these are new glasses too.
We got all new stemware when we did the the backsplash.
For myself, glug glug, glug glug.
(06:04):
And then, yeah, you want some. Yeah, yes, please.
I'm holding the glass. Who wants this coming tonight?
Mary and her new girlfriend. You know how lesbians are.
They'd like move so fast. I and I heard this one's a
drinker too. This. 1 is a drinker.
Yeah, I heard. Drunk, so I'm gonna go ahead
and. Get beat her to the punch, shall
(06:25):
we? Yeah, I'm gonna get this ball
back down dry in a good way though.
A good dry. How they the good way to
describe? Beverages.
I think it's pretty fruity. I've.
Always thought that was funny. Why do they call champagne dry?
It seems pretty wet to me. This is a Malbec.
It's right, Champagne, yes, of course.
(06:45):
But to describe I'm just. Why do they call champagne dry?
Or just any? Any wines?
Yeah, I think it has to do with the mouthfeel.
OK, OK. I'm surprised you don't know
that you went to USCI did and. Sociology degree.
That's what I mean. It's a pretty professorial
degree. I would expect you to know a
(07:09):
little bit more about wines maybe.
I don't know. Well, I got to say this party
ain't going to be dry because cheers Clink.
It's good stuff. Listen, I do love the idea of
getting absolutely shit faced. I.
Want to pour myself some more ofthat?
Honestly, let's just finish the bottle before I I just.
Finished it myself. These are pretty big glasses,
(07:39):
all rise for Dominique from Austin, TX.
Hey, thanks nee ha Yee ha. It's bigger in Texas.
The bottles are bigger in Texas the those wine bottles.
Those wine bottles are huge in Texas and so are the court
cases. Yes they are and they are.
They are bigger court cases and they are less just than other.
(08:01):
States, right? Yes.
As soon as I said it, I was like, this has some real world
implications. Yes, not just for our little
funny little podcast that we do.Thank you, Dominique.
Thank you for calling in. We're so happy to have you on
our voicemail. This was at a dinner party.
Something was brought to the dinner party.
(08:21):
A bottle of wine. Exactly how was that bottle of
wine addressed? This is part of the case.
The person who brought it drank it exactly.
Yes, and the person who brought it opened it as.
Well that's also true. I didn't notice those things.
The my character did pretty muchget on board.
Yeah, but. You want a glass of wine?
(08:41):
But I can see some people reallygetting their knots in A twist.
Yes, about it. This is so fun because this is
quite literally the Marlboro Ryeepisode from Seinfeld.
Almost. Oh.
There's more reactions in there.It's a very famous episode.
You have to watch the show. It's.
I've never seen an episode of Seinfeld.
Yeah, you're not going to start now.
You're not. I am almost 40.
(09:02):
That's also what I love about you is I can just say signpo
references in front of you and you just think I'm saying a
funny. Thing I just think you're
hilarious. Or you have no idea what I'm
talking about. And in that case, I'm just blow
past it. OK, so Mark, Mark Dominique
wants to know, yeah, I'm stuck on Martinique the country.
Why am I stuck on? Martinique is a country.
Yeah, it's in the Caribbean, I think.
(09:24):
I thought I knew it, Martinique.It's an.
Island country. I know that for.
Sure. All right.
Well. It might be off the coast of
Madagascar. I thought I knew all one of the
warm motions. It's either Indian or the
Caribbean. OK.
Anyways, Dominique would like toknow if there are rules on
opening a bottle you bring. To a party, I think, yeah, you
(09:48):
can start. I think there's so.
OK, let's say I bring a bottle to your party.
Easy to imagine. You already have open bottles?
Like maybe I'm like the 4th or 5th person to arrive.
May perhaps there's a wine bottle already open.
What if I go over to the drinks table and start opening my own
bottle? Is that OK if there's already a
(10:11):
wine rotation? I'm not going to care.
Personally, yeah, Because it's already, it's just, OK, that's
that. Then people start drinking out
of that bottle. If there's no bottle, it's
already out. So like you're just sitting at a
dinner and they just grab their bottle because Dominique thinks
that it also could be a gift gesture.
So you're kind of opening a giftthat you got for somebody.
Yes. If it comes in a bag.
(10:35):
If you're bringing a bottle of wine in a bag.
First off, slap it. Slap the bag.
No, not a bag of wine. Oh, like you, child.
That shows you what kind of gifts I'm bringing to the party.
Jeez, Sally and I went to a birthday party this past weekend
and we stopped on the way and wegot a bottle of wine for the
(10:56):
party and we got a gift bag thatperfectly fits a bottle of wine.
Follow up question, does the baghave handles or is it one of the
just the brown paper sleeves? It has just a little.
Yeah, it's got 2 little strings on it.
That's a gift. That's a gift.
I think handles is gift. Handles is a 1000% to.
Go if it's just a little sleeve that.
If it's a paper bag with a bottle of wine in it, you're
(11:17):
just, you're just drinking. Or if you're bear bagging it,
you just got the bottle in hand.I think that's more of you're
bringing this to everybody with expectations.
Talk about bear bagging it. No bag.
Oh, oh, I see. Yes, bare handing it, I should
probably be making more sense. Yeah, If yeah.
So I think it the presentation counts.
I think in this situation, whichI I'm glad we talked this out, I
(11:39):
would not have got to this conclusion.
Is it? Is it like gift wrapped slash
like in a gift bag slash being presented as a gift?
If so, it is absolutely inappropriate for you to be the
one to open it. Yes.
And I think also, if there's an exchange of hands, if say,
you're coming to my party, I open the door for you, you go,
(12:00):
hi, how's it going? We brought this and you hand it
to me. Gift.
Yes, but are. You gonna cause like if I take
that bottle, go sit down in the kitchen, you're not gonna go
grab that bottle and oh, start opening that once you've handed
it to me. If it gets set down on the
counter I might go open it. If it's set down the counter by
(12:21):
the the host. By the host like in an easy to
reach like this is for the evening place.
The question is, is it for the evening or is it for later?
And, and but third example, it gets set on the table where
we're gonna have dinner. I will go ahead and open that,
(12:43):
but I will wait until dinner. And you, I feel like you'd
probably, I think you'd ask the table be like, does anybody mind
if I open this type of thing? I would not ask the table.
I do not ask for permission. But what if?
But what if they have like a bottle that they were?
And they wouldn't put it in the center of the table.
Yeah, it's true, this is a sticky case.
I think there's, I think there'svery.
I don't think it's sticky at all.
I think it's very clean lines. If it's sat on the table, it's
(13:05):
fine for you to open once dinnerhas started.
See, to me that almost feels like going to someone's
Thanksgiving and carving their Turkey.
It's like the if it if it if it's in the center of the table,
that's the hosts. Cause the host pours usually I
think I think. Traditionally, I don't think so.
(13:27):
Not you. Don't think the host the host.
Of course, I think, I think it has to be so formal for the for
the host to pour. Otherwise I think it's just
like, here's here's the bottles of wine that we have for the
evening in the center of the table.
Here's the one we're working on,and everybody pours their own.
In this case, there's multiple bottles of wine on the table,
not just the one you brought. If it's just, I don't.
(13:48):
Think it matters? I think it does.
Oh my God, why? Why does it matter?
Because because if it's a group of bottles of wine that's like a
communal, everybody's drinking. If it's one bottle of wine that
you bought that's the literal centerpiece of the table,
that's, I feel like that puts iton a proverbial pedestal a
little bit. And I think in that case, I
(14:09):
might have to go with the host. I think you, the host might have
to open and pour 'cause it's like, it's like the featured
item. It's not one of many items.
If no one has been drinking already, then I think you're
right actually. Yeah, because it's it's like
we're having. A Hey, we've waited for
everybody. No cocktails have been served.
No drinks have been served. I haven't been served anything
(14:30):
of my own so far. We sit down to dinner.
I'm not going to, I'm not going to be the one to start that
bottle of wine. You're right.
This is this is one of the most contentious I think we've gotten
in a lot, which is. So good, there's so many.
It's actually there's a lot of rules.
OK. So I think, yeah, I think, oh
boy, my mind is worrying on the unprecedented levels.
(14:51):
If if there's one bottle of wineon the table.
Yes, if it's a featured wine. Well, sure, it's there's one
bottle of wine on the table, buteveryone's already been drinking
wine and everyone's setting downwine glasses that have already
had wine in it. Then it's fine again.
Yes, yes I agree. I think if they are are similar,
if there's if drinks are on rotation, your bottle becomes
(15:12):
part of that rotation and you can open that whenever you when
you please and you can pour it and you can you should offer of
course. Right.
The inauguration of drinking is really what the host is
responsible for. Yeah, right.
And, and the, the host has responsibilities to be like,
hey, if the host wants you to serve yourself, they're
responsible for telling you that, you know?
(15:36):
But if there's already glasses of wine going out around,
there's a few bottles on the counter, there's one bottle on
the table. I probably don't touch it until
dinner, but I feel I would feel totally comfortable opening
that. Yeah.
But if no one has started drinking yet, I'm not touching
that bottle of wine until the host acknowledges.
(15:57):
That it's either. By serving it or saying
something. Yeah, I think, I think this
issue can kind of be summed up on two different levels.
There's presentation, like we said with a bag, if it's a bag
with handles, that's a gift. You can't open that.
And and a quantity if there's many drinks or many bottles,
(16:18):
open it up, fill these shoes. If there's a, if it's like a
bottle, like is if it was a bottle of liquor, I think I
think most liquor bottle, if youbring up unopened bottle of
liquor to someone's house, somebody's house, that's a gift.
Well, what if it's like a littlelike Crown Royal purple bag?
I don't know Crown, but like, yeah.
Maybe. People have gifted like I've
been gifted like a bottle of whiskey before or like, you
(16:39):
know, like a, a kind of a specialery.
Yeah, liquor. That's probably true.
But like if I bring I brought over a box of beer here.
Yeah, I'm not going to wait. Yeah, No, of course not.
There's many beers in there, just open when you're thirsty.
Yeah. So I, I think it comes in.
Yeah. So I think it's.
And he was the bringer of the box.
You set it down on the counter, you crack one open.
(17:01):
Yeah, right away. That's not rude to me.
No, Yeah, yeah, there's. So I think that.
There's eleven other beers in there, yeah.
The same thing applies to the wine, though, unless like the
drinking hasn't started is just my big thing or it unless,
unless it's presented as I want you to save this, then it's up
to the host to recognize that it's being presented as a gift
that you want them to save. Otherwise they may serve it that
(17:25):
night. I think that's usually fine,
unless it's like a very nice bottle of wine, but then you
have to know something about wine.
And then you're like, there's like other communication that
yeah, exactly. There's Yikes.
Nobody has time to learn wines. It's crazy.
But yeah, it's, I think, I thinkit's complicated and I think it
(17:47):
all has to do with like once those that dam is broken, it's
all fair game. For sure, yeah.
Yeah, but you get to kind of signal whether or not that dam
is meant to be broken as well asa guest.
This is 1 hell of a case, Dominique OH.
Geez. We're going to have to have you
(18:08):
come on the pod to figure this out.
Yeah. We, we, we might revisit this.
Yeah. Oh, should we take our podcast
to Austin? We have a lot of listeners.
Oh my. God, yes, let's do it.
Texas, we're coming to you. We're.
Coming to you. Case closed.
Yeah, case closed. Presentation matters.
And if the dam has been breached, it's OK.
Love it. Love it.
(18:35):
Neil I loved that case. I'm ready for another.
Bring it on. Hey this is Dylan from Miami and
I like always refuse to answer group texts and I think my
friends all hate me for it. Is that a problem?
Should I just not answer group text anymore?
I don't know. Oh, Danny, did you bring salad?
(19:01):
Did I bring the salad? Yeah, it's the potluck.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I, I, I, I, I just did a little
spring mix and then I put a little soft cheese on top and,
and cranberry, dried cranberry. So OK.
That's. Very interesting, Danny.
Was I supposed to bring something else?
No, it's exactly what we wanted.Oh, OK, so.
(19:22):
So you Good job, Danny. The group.
Text. Yeah, I, I, yeah, I skim it at
the end of the day. But you never seem to respond.
It just would I be really contributing to it?
No. You're listen, I'm glad you're
here. I'm glad you brought the salad.
(19:44):
I I got the information from thegroup text.
But Danielle already is bringinga backup salad.
Oh. Danielle's here.
Yes, she's on the group text. Is that the 858 number that I
keep? Oh my God.
I. Haven't saved that number on my
phone yet. What?
What do you have against Danielle?
I'm not ready to talk to her on a personal direct message basis.
(20:08):
It's. Not even direct, it's in the
group text. I know that's I want to keep it
that way. So you're just not going to talk
to the whole group text because you don't want to talk to
Danielle? No, no, no, no, Chief, you're
not. You're not thinking this
through. OK.
I don't want to save her number in my phone so I don't know when
she texts the group chat. I have no idea who that is.
(20:29):
Oh my God, and I'm fine with it.All right, It just seems like
you're not taking the group textseriously enough.
I mean, I can barely believe, I can barely believe it that you
successfully got a salad to thisparty.
I mean, I can barely believe thekinds of memes that Danielle
with the 858 area code is sending to that many people.
It's just SpongeBob stuff. Yeah, or like the Homer backing
(20:53):
into the hedge thing. It's like, what is this, 2012?
Come on, like just get with a program.
What would you said? What's your favorite meme I.
Don't know, maybe words. Words to express my feelings.
Rather than gifts. Yeah.
OK, well I listen. I still think that the meme
group is very fun. It's fun for some, but frankly,
(21:16):
some of us in the literary community of which I count
myself you. Literary Community You're a copy
editor for car and car for a carmagazine.
I I have half of mind to take these dried cranberries off my
salad. You guys do not serve.
You know what? Take I'll I'll take the
cranberries off your salad. Do it.
(21:37):
Look at this, do it want. That's a very good time.
That's a very meme sender thing for you to do.
You just want the basic just salad in a bowl reaction, huh,
Don't you? You don't want a little.
You don't want to liven up the conversation.
And with a little dried fruit, maybe a toasted nut on top.
Danny, I'm going through a divorce and I really was excited
(21:59):
for you to be here. Oh my God, Chief.
It's so bad. All rise for the Honorable Dylan
from Miami Bravo. Bravo, Dylan.
Bravo, Dylan. Bravo, Dylan.
(22:19):
So what do you think it is? I think this has to do with
group chat lurkers, people who, because I think you made a point
in the scene to point out that Ihad been reading the group
chats. So it's not like somebody who's
just in a big long group chat that they never check.
It's somebody who's there who reads them but doesn't
(22:39):
contribute. Well, yes, that is that is
definitely part of it. I would love to get into like
the greater because this is about the greater group chat
chat etiquette, you know, like unresponsive group text, group
text members. You know, of which I am so
guilty. I have muted so many I will if I
(23:01):
may get put in a group text. First thing that's happening is
I'm muting it. That makes sense.
For a couple of our group chats,there are some WhatsApp polls
that you have not responded to. Yeah, I just find it so hard to
keep up sometimes and. I have some muted group chats as
well. Yeah.
OK. So it's not just me.
But it's not when I get added into one, I usually.
(23:24):
Yeah, yeah. It's not just you.
OK, because like I will electively check them and then
occasionally respond, but like it is and listen, they still
come up to the top of my texts. So so I know when I check my
general messages that they're there.
But if it's I don't mind A3 Fer.Three friends and.
(23:46):
Three people, yeah, yeah. Or like 3 like that is.
That is almost always hey, we'redoing something and there needs
to be 3 people talking about. Yeah, that that typically has
more of a purpose, I think. I I think I'm with you, although
I know that we treat our inboxesdifferently.
Yes, we do. I'm an inbox zero.
(24:06):
You're an inbox ignore, Yes. So even when I do mute chats, I
will still click on them to get rid of the bolded unread and
then just go. So I I but I won't scroll up
because there's some group chatsI want and like there's it's
just I'm 20 messages too late. Whatever information I need is
(24:27):
already gone or I don't need in the 1st place.
So just like let sleeping sheep sleep.
Listen, I think that's fine. I am.
I really don't love the format. Yeah, it's kind of like it's a
very echoey room. Like there's just a lot of
(24:48):
voices. And it's a very centralized form
of communication because everybody can just text any
thought they wanted it, and not all thoughts need to be said.
Sorry, guys. Sorry, America, not all of your
thoughts need to be OK. OK, we're going to.
We're going to blow past that because like, everybody
(25:09):
deserves. To be oh did I cross the line?
Oh I crossed the line. Mr. doesn't read his.
Mr. mutes his group chats on basis cross the line.
Listen, I don't have anything tosay to defend myself, but.
But you'll say something I'll say.
Something else, and I deserve tobe heard.
Yes, the I, I, I'm part of I. I was never a part of group
(25:32):
texts until recently and I feel like it's because I've met a lot
of like new kinds of people, chat people, I've met group chat
people and I think there is a group chat type person.
There are people, I think. I'm guilty of being a group chat
person. Really.
You are one of those people then.
Well, I have done a lot of hey, I want people to come over to my
(25:54):
house on a certain day and I'll make a group chat of everybody.
That's that's a logistical group, that's a broadcast is
what that is. OK, OK, So I'm guilty of
broadcast. If I'm guilty of one thing, it's
broadcast. It's like broadcast television.
Here's the logistics. If anyone has additional
questions, other people in the group probably have the same
questions. Let's get to the meat of it.
(26:14):
That's. Fine.
And and and people, my friends listening at home, they can
check me on this. I don't think I use those for
purposes other than that get together.
I won't come back four months later and be like, oh, hey, just
so you guys know, I have an improv show on Saturday.
Here's like a link to the tickets.
I won't do I won't. I don't do that.
I'm an honorable comedian. Yeah, that's that's honorable.
(26:36):
That's great. Thank you.
That's exactly right. There have been group tax that
start as organization for some big get together.
Suddenly I'm getting pictures from numbers I don't have saved
in my phone and it's I know who it is because it's the person
sending like selfies of them doing something like four months
(26:56):
after this party. Eventually they tend to trail
off and like a new group is formed somewhere else.
Whatever. But I I'm like, I don't know why
they're texting me pictures of them and a dog or pictures of
them playing a sport or something like that.
I was just like, I don't understand what's going on.
(27:17):
Just hiked rattlesnake Ridge. Exactly.
Exactly. And it's like, oh, thought of
everybody who was at this party months ago.
I don't understand it, but I wish that I had that kind of
innocence. Do you?
And to a certain I imagine that that person I feel like.
You don't want. I feel like you don't wish that
innocence. I feel like you.
(27:37):
You may want that innocence, butdeep down I don't think you I.
Want to want it? Yeah.
Where it's just like, oh, it seems so happy.
I want you to want me. That's very, that's a different
want. But doesn't there seem something
like there's it's like on full display, like people just being
(27:58):
like earnestly enjoying something and just like being
like, this is what I'm doing right now.
I wish I had the the like just the the commitment to happiness
to do that. And I think group text people
are probably just happier people.
Yeah, I think, I think group text people, I think it's kind
(28:20):
of inherent in their definition where they are that they're
they're well liked people because they have many people
that they'd want or at least if they think they have good
connections with people that want all, you know, like get
together. So I think, yeah, I think there
is like a sort of like a joyous innocence to that, which is what
you're talking about, yeah. But like, I don't think I am a
(28:42):
joy. I am in general, like a joyful
man for sure. Yeah.
And I, I, I'm exuberant. Neil, you got joy.
Thank you. Thank you.
But I have like an exuberance and like I, I, well, people like
me, Yeah. And people are.
I've got lots of friends and stuff.
I don't in person. I don't do the next thing.
Like as your friend, I, it's notthat I wouldn't trust you to
(29:04):
start a group chat, but I just don't think you would do it.
Like I like if if there needs tobe a group chat with us and
other people, I wouldn't expect you to be the one to start the
group chat. And it's much less participate
beyond like a just here's, OK. Yeah, it's not your nature.
What turn do you take off the highway?
Whatever. Like, yeah.
(29:24):
Great information. Information.
Yeah, yeah. So wait, So what is who?
Who called in Dylan from Miami, Dylan from Miami?
Is Dylan from Miami concerned that Daniel from the scene is
reading the group chat or what'swhat's his concern?
His. Concern His concern is he needs
(29:45):
to understand group text etiquette.
Oh, oh, perfect broad. OK.
I thought, I thought it was likespecific on like people,
people's participation. Yeah.
So I think, I think group chat culture is I think stems from a
joy of community. I agree actually.
(30:06):
And I but I do think that with all things in life, there are
abuses of that. And any multimedia is an abuse.
Because because I think this is exactly what I think our show
needs to do, is put a line on this.
Because by having joined group chats, people then think that
(30:27):
anything in a group chat equals joy, which I don't think is
true. Oh my.
God, no, it does not. And in fact, putting me in a
group chat is disrespectful because it puts the
responsibility on me to communicate broadly with
everybody in the group when in fact, like I'm like, this can
(30:50):
wait. Suddenly there's six people
watching me have that thought. I don't need that kind of
exactly, yeah. I don't need that surveillance.
Exactly, because a lot of group when they and it comes for the
broadcast information, a lot of that is like safe for, you know,
a group trip. It's like, oh, hey, like send me
your flight info so I know what time to get the rental car or
(31:10):
like, you know, whatever, whatever.
That's personal information thatnow, like now that I have to
give out to the requester plus eleven other requesters friends.
That is, that is protected information in Europe.
Wait, PII? Personally identifying
information. Identifying.
I was just thinking Pi OK personal identifying
(31:31):
information. What's your favorite form of
personal identifying information?
My social Yeah. Should I say it on?
The pie, yeah. Case closed.
Case closed. Who loves the phone?
We love the phone. I love the phone.
(31:52):
Let's listen to the phone calls.Should you be able?
Should you? Should it be a should you be
able to set to say stuff to singradio songs and not have other
people want you to not? Other people like who?
(32:15):
Like your sister or your or yourfamily member?
Is this really such a problem? Yeah.
What would you want to sing along to?
Like KUSE and KSE rock. Station and what's your name and
(32:37):
where do you live? My name is Hilton Eunice Macker
Mayer and I live in the city of LA is in LA County and my house
my address. Is no, no, Don't give that.
It might be on the radio. OK Should you be able to sing on
(33:01):
the when the radio is playing a good song?
Yeah. Yeah.
Some people say no. Yeah.
All right, Kansas City, here we come.
I'm. So excited I've never been.
I've heard it has a huge. Airport I've actually never.
(33:23):
I've only driven here. I've never flown in.
Yeah, I've never driven or flownin.
Oh well, I guess this is your first time driving.
Well, the drive is nice. You go through all the
cornfields, I think. All right, all right.
Yeah. Flat Plains.
OK, we're coming. We're all, we're like halfway
there from Austin. Oh, did you pick up snacks for
the road? Did I pick up snacks?
I got a little. I got a little bag of pretzels
(33:46):
at the gas station. OK, Is that enough?
Should we stop and get some more?
Yeah, we'll probably have to stop, but I mean, it's just
that's an open Rd. for now, all right?
Let's take. A driver DJ.
Are you fine with me being the DJ because I'm the driver?
Yeah, it's your car, your rules.Let's.
Just do, let's do, let's I kind of just do radio in here.
So I'm going to do that's kind. Of classic, actually.
(34:07):
I didn't take you as like a radio guy.
I love 9772. 97 Two. They play like a lot of like 80s
and 90s type stuff, but then they also play some new age.
You know, it's kind of fun. Terrestrial radio is a little
bit underrated because like. This is the new Lady Gaga Ariana
Grande song. This is This is a really good
one. OK, All right.
I think I'm I may not be drunk, but at least I'm alive.
(34:32):
Rain on me, rain, rain, rain on me, rain, rain.
I love this song. Rain on me, rain, rain, rain on
me. And this is the part where it
picks up OK. All right, all right.
It's. A little loud.
(34:52):
Can we turn it down? Yeah, yeah.
I'll turn it down, OK. Yeah, well.
That's fun. Yeah, that's such a good one.
I really, I love Lady Gaga. What?
What color? Is her hair do you think I've
seen it in so many? Colors like her, her original
color. What color grows out of her head
or what is it now? Grows out of her head.
I think she's probably dirty blonde.
Dirty blonde. So like in Star Star is born
(35:14):
that color. I was more.
Brown That's the only movie thatI've ever walked out on, really.
Star is Morton made me so angry I walked out on it.
Save this thought for a little Ihave a theatre experience
because I because I because I really yeah the stars born
theater experience for both of us I think was interesting.
OK Oh my God oh they're playing they're playing Bowling For Soup
now I love Bowling For Soup. Oh OK says Bruce Springsteen
(35:36):
Madonna way before Nirvana thereis U2 and Blondie and music
still on MTV are insane now two kids in high school in town now
she's uncle but she's still preoccupied with. 19/19/1985
you're going. To sing along the entire way to
Kansas City because like, the radio will play a lot of random
(35:57):
songs that we don't necessarily need to sing along with Driver.
DJ, those are the rules your. Car your rules.
Oh, there's a sign. Kansas City 352 more miles
19/19/1985 Says we're singing Madonna.
(36:19):
All rise for the most honorable and most professional Hilton
from Los Angeles County, Los. Angeles County, Los.
Angeles yes, Hilton is from Los Angeles County.
OK, he almost gave out his actual address, but I his, his
supervisor on the on the phone or his, his reporting manager or
(36:39):
no the, the mayor that reports to him because I'm pretty sure
Hilton's in charge told him not to give out his address.
So Hilton has a has a an excellent case.
OK, and here's what I think it is, Yes, I think it's I think
it's when somebody's singing along to the radio and you don't
want them to. Yes, I I think he goes more
(37:01):
generous. Like should you be?
Is it OK to sing along the songson the radio?
Was it was his case OK? That was a long, OK.
He's like a minute and a half long of watching you react to
it. You.
Got to listen to this. I mean, it was.
Cannot wait to hear. It I mean we really have our
demographic of listeners all. Over the place wide, yeah.
Because yeah, because. Well, so his his dad, I'm
(37:23):
assuming it was his dad or his guardian or whoever I was was
there with him and to to help summarize occasion also to help
him not give out his address because he was like, say, say
your name where you live. And he goes Hilton from Los
Angeles County and I live at 432.
And he's like, Oh no, no, don't say that part.
Oh, it's amazing. Yeah.
So the case is, is it OK to singalong the songs on the radio?
(37:47):
I mean, I'm gonna be totally honest with you.
It drives me crazy. Yeah, I thought, I don't mean to
generalize, but I thought you might say this.
Yeah, yeah, I try and have fun. Everybody around me is always
having so much fun. Literally, I was coming back
from the Renaissance Festival orgoing to the Renaissance
(38:08):
Festival with Doctor Tess, guestof the pod and my boyfriend and
another friend of ours. And she was like, Neil put on
something that we can all sing along to.
And I was just like, no, no. And I hate to, I hate to let her
know this because I did it with feigned enthusiasm, but I
absolutely cannot stand a Carpool Karaoke.
(38:31):
It drives me Batty. I I can't say in.
Love to do it. I can't say in Carpool karaoke
with James Corden. I think that's and just it's
like be more creative pleased with your national television
show. OK, but I think this is where
your level of intellectuality serves you wrong.
(38:54):
You have you have two gifted of an ear.
I know it's actually like a problem.
It is and. It makes it makes like standard
karaoke sometimes a stretch. It makes it a stretch to be fun.
I love to do it and I love to doit with my friends.
And I think it's very social. I really like, I really like it
as like something that we can all kind of gather around and
(39:15):
like do this thing. But like, I think people take it
I, I, I get bored a lot faster than other people I think.
Right. You know, Right, Right.
Yeah, Yeah. Speaking of which, can you bring
a karaoke machine to my birthdayparty?
Do you? Something I got 1 upstairs.
Yes, we're going to do karaoke there.
This it's it's kind of it's sucha funny case.
(39:36):
Thank you again, Hilton, Becauseit's like, you know, you know
the old joke when you're singingalong to a song and somebody
goes, oh, who sings this? And you go like Lady Gaga and
the and the person goes, yeah, keep it that way.
Oh, I love that. That is spicy.
I thought that was like a dad joke.
I've heard that millions of times.
OK, I love it. Yeah, yeah.
I mean like you sing the song they tell you and then they and
(39:56):
they do it. So I think this is kind of a
stemming from that because I I could see there's for search
situations when I've been in a car with somebody singing and
I've been like, shut the. The front of your mouth it.
Feels like since a child gave usthis one I've been stopping
myself from swearing during. This Oh, I for sure have.
(40:19):
I also still want to talk to youabout A star is born.
Oh my God, but it's not shot appropriate parts of that movie,
so we're going to save that for maybe something else.
All right, I'll try to be. Should I be quiet about it or
just not mention? It Oh my God, let's just talk
about it. So I I saw it with I saw it with
an old girlfriend who Speaking of intellectual different, I
(40:39):
don't know. Basically we watched that movie
and the part where Bradley Cooper is no more caught her by.
Oh really? Yeah, what's been a read on
movie He dies or whatever. Yeah, he he's self-inflicted.
Oh. He kills himself.
OK, it's so broadcast through like most of the movie, and she
was so caught off guard by it that in the theater she turns
(41:01):
and looks at me and goes. And I was like, yeah, of course
he's going to do that. Like, it was like, literally
like the second it happened was when she realized it.
And I was like, this entire scene has been leading up to
this moment anyways. It was.
It was. A so like so your feelings for
her actually declined for sure because of the narrative beats
or? Whatever.
(41:21):
She missed all the narrative andthen, like, took it very
seriously and was like, oh, thisis such a moving, sad movie.
And I'm like, oh, right. Yeah, the problem with A Star Is
Born for me is that Bradley Cooper goes to a drag show and
he literally plucks the one realgirl out of it and makes her a
(41:44):
star. And all the drag Queens are left
to just be like, we love her. We love her.
We love her the entire time. And just being like, we can be
abused and all this stuff and it's just like, it's all about
you, girl. Like, don't worry, we're just
gay fans, you know? And I made me so mad that I was.
It's the only movie that's made me so angry that I've had to
turn it off. So I was just like, this is the
most homophobic movie I've ever seen in my entire life.
(42:08):
It was so bad. And then I realized also that
there was another like movie, I think it was called like
Dumpling or something. Dumpling.
It's about some like Southern girl who makes friends with drag
Queens and stuff like that. And I was like, anywhere that
you find in the 2000 tens, anywhere that they put a drag
queen in a movie that would havebeen a little person in the 90s,
(42:31):
they serve the same narrative purpose.
Yeah, of being like, wow, what an other person who's actually
got a heart of gold. And we don't actually have to
care about them because they're there to serve all the normals.
Yeah, it's to make the hero lookbetter because they're friends
with the the the. Freaks.
Exactly, exactly. And it makes me so.
Also ** is born was like 2017 that's.
Yeah, right. Better right in the.
(42:52):
Yeah, right in the pocket. Anyways, we both hated Star is.
Born anyways, yes. You don't.
You didn't say you hated it. But I mean, I'm not going to say
I loved it either. Yeah, I'm a radio singer.
Yeah, I mean, I like to do it too.
It feels good. Oh, especially if it's a rap
song too. And you can.
Oh. You're the worst kind.
I know I don't well raps. I wouldn't do in front of
(43:16):
people, but like it's it's. Oh God.
Oh my God, Oh I love you. OK, no, no, no, no.
Like I, it's, it's because I, mymusical intellectuality is low
(43:39):
enough that like when I can, when I know the words, like it's
just knowing the words to a song.
Yeah, it's so fun to be like, hey, guess what?
I know the song so well. I can do all the words that is.
It's so lame. It's like when it's like when
you go from like your parents reading your books to like
reading them out loud by yourself.
It's like, look at like I know. All I get, I get that I get that
it's. Fun because I'm not trying to
(44:00):
sing for tone. We all know that I'm not right,
bitch. I mean, and I had maybe like one
or two rap songs that were like that for me too, King Kunta
being one of them. I loved.
Oh, interesting. And I knew, like, every word of
that song. The.
Whole but again, King Kunta, youknow, you know, but God damn,
that's a good song. Yeah, and, and, but I so like, I
(44:24):
like to, I like to sing along tomy like in the car to my own
stuff. To your own songs or.
I mean not to I mean I would if they're on I guess and I'm just
enjoying them, which usually I'mlike critically listening, but
but like to music that I love. Sometimes I will just like sing
along top of my lungs, but I would never do it with another
person there. What if they're singing too?
(44:48):
Like in the car or like? Then I want them to stop.
Really. Yeah, just hands down, always.
Wait, wait, no, no, if if you're.
If anyone. Who will never sing, It's
somebody else in the car. But if they're singing as a
song, say, say we're in a car together, I'm doing King Kunta,
you're not going to join in. I.
Probably would, but I would do it under duress.
(45:09):
It's believable. Yeah.
Yeah. I I really like.
Yeah. If a song is playing, I don't
want anyone. I don't want to hear someone
singing along to it. Ever.
It's just ever I unless it's me.Yeah, see, I'm generally pro.
It can be annoying, like like Shaggy.
It wasn't me. Was completely ruined for me
(45:29):
because a girl who I worked withat Plato's Closet would sing it
every single time it came on ourPandora playlist.
Yeah, which you would play. It would play once or twice a
day per shift. Frequently, yeah.
And it was just a girl that I already didn't have a great Co
worker in a relationship with. Nothing actually intentional,
but it's just like this is we'regonna see each other at work and
(45:50):
we're gonna play never outside of this.
We're gonna go pass pass in Plato's closet.
Yeah, we're gonna pass in Plato's closet.
But she would just. And she wouldn't sing the words
either. She would kind of like say them
got me banging on the counter, wasn't me, caught me on the
corner, wasn't me. It was just, it would just be
that. That's really rough.
And would do it like at the counter when we ring it up
(46:10):
customers, I'm like, these are not lyrics.
You can just like say like if like singing them softens them a
little bit. Like you can't.
Like it's just all about bangingon the counter, banging on the
floor. Right.
It's deeply sexual. But yeah, so that's not that
song has been run for me. Also Africa by Toto was ruined
for me in a similar situation. Not cuz somebody was singing it,
but just cuz they would come on that playlist every single day.
(46:31):
It was tough. Africa for Toto was ruined for
me for a different reason, but it's kind of a long story, I'll
tell it anyways. Like.
I went to like an AI Film Festival.
Eww. It was very EW.
And Neil never tell me about this again.
And there was like this crazy, like, oh, I'm like kind of a
shock jock, sort of like. A shock jock.
(46:53):
A shock jock at the AI Film Festival.
I trusted someone's recommendation.
Pu yeah. Oh my gosh.
He's very much like Toxic Avenger type.
Yeah, 80s I can imagine. And so now he's doing this and
he generated a bunch of AI videos of Toxic performing in
the 711 parking lot at Santa Monica Blvd.
(47:16):
And just essentially like being harassed.
The Toto was being harassed by homeless people and it was the
most racist thing I've ever seenin.
My Toto. Toto the band as if they're.
Was in Santa Monica, nice, kind.Of moth I missed it there it
goes. They're not they're not really
there. It's just AI generated, you
(47:38):
know, and you know this is. Like a mad libs it.
Seems like a mad libs thing but then it got so just unflattering
and disgusting and racist and itI.
And that ruined the song for you, which is.
Yeah, because like. Not, not anything Toto did, but
anything because. I loved that song before that,
but that's all I can think about.
Is this like? Grotesque bum bum bum bum bum.
(48:00):
Homelessness like just exploitation thing that anyways,
it sounds yucky. It was super yucky, but singing
Toto, Yeah, Toto singing in the car, Don't do it.
I this is this is a split case for me.
Oh God, we're there and normallyand normally I'm a pushover, but
(48:23):
I think for this one I have to Ihave to listen.
You could it's no one you're being annoying.
No one know that you should you should get OK, I'll put some
rules on it. It can't be every song and two
(48:44):
and anything more than two verses is a lot.
So like if you sing like, like if you sing a verse of King
Kunta or whatever fun, OK, he knows the lyrics.
If you come back in for the second verse, you're kind of
pushing your luck. If you do the whole, if you do
all three verses of the song, it's like, OK, are we just
supposed to sit here and wait for 3 1/2 minutes until you're
done with the song? I think then it gets a little
(49:06):
annoying. I think it's annoying at the
start. But but the starts of the songs
are the best parts to sing because those are the ones that
easiest to remember. Yeah.
I'll give you I'll give you 10 seconds at the start of each
song. All right, stop, collaborate and
listen. I suspect with a brand new
invention. Come on, you.
Yeah, Yeah. No, I guess three, I guess 3.
That's like 2. That's not even.
(49:26):
That's a quarter of a verse vanilla.
Ice. I mean, come on.
Case. Closed case.
Case open. Oh, oh, oh, oh, Neil, can you,
can you run down to the corner market and get me another case
file? Wow.
(49:49):
Hit us up on The Voice landline,voicemail DC area code.
Hello, it's Ryan from Raleigh. I'm calling in with another one
that was Co created with Brene. All right, so it is.
What? How do you?
Respond if somebody says good morning to you, but it's
actually the all. Right, Steven.

Just Peter. OK, we're.
Doing a photo shoot and then we've commissioned A watercolor
artist. She was like.

Photographers. There's great photographers.
(51:00):
Important. So he took the photo of Peter
and we're getting it transformedinto watercolor.
OK Yeah. And I haven't found the
watercolor artist that I really want yet.
I've got to narrow down to 4. Are you gonna fly them in?
If I need to two are local. Where's this painting going, am
I asking? You any questions?
Did you say good morning to me? What?
Did you say good morning to me? I feel like you said good
(51:22):
morning to me and it's it's 1:30in the afternoon.
Did I? I think you did.
Oh, I and I, you know, you know,it's it's OK, OK.
I could tell Peter, Peter. Peter's Peter's a little
flustered about it. I didn't know because like, come
(51:43):
on. Like it's already 1:30.
Mallory, get down Mallory, get down.
Stop. Stop humping Chris's leg.
What is? This Mallory's first walk of the
day. Yes, it is.
Well, she, I, I let her out in the backyard for a pee.
But yes, this is our first on leash walk.
Yeah. OK, it's nice.
It's nice for the dogs when you can have two or three walks a
day, I think, and it's nice whenone is actually in the morning.
(52:10):
OK. So is this about the good
morning? It's afternoon.
Good afternoon to you. I'm not going to say good
afternoon. I'm sorry Chris, I just, if I
slip up and say good morning, then that's then I don't wish
you a worse afternoon. Just seems crazy.
Anyways, I need to go get his nails painted, so I'm going to
(52:32):
go. OK.
And let me know what watercolorist you work with.
Yeah, I will, because, you know,it's hard to get good
recommendations. Sure, I know that.
All rise for the Honorable Ryan and Brene from Raleigh.
(52:54):
Thank you, Ryan and Brene. Well, we're really, really
hitting all the coasts here. We're hitting every coast we've
got. South Coast Miami, we got
Galveston, coast, Texas, which we as we know is some of the
best water in America. Pekinko Bay or whatever you
Pismo Beach, Pismo Beach and Galveston Beach.
I feel like our sisters. Yes, they're sister beaches.
(53:17):
We have Raleigh from the RaleighDurham Triangle.
It's true, which my sister livesin.
I don't know if I should say that on podcast.
It's a big city. They can't find her.
It's. Not even a city.
That's like an entire zone of America.
Yeah, yeah. We're fine.
We're fine. Nobody.
'S going to find her, yeah. And then we've been hitting
everything. We've been hitting everything.
(53:38):
Well, thank you, Ryan and Renee.Renee, thank you very much.
The case at hand, is it as simple as an I'll timed?
Hello. It's not.
Quite so simple saying good morning when it's after 12:00
(53:59):
PM. That's it, That's it.
Good morning. When it's not morning, how am I
supposed? To oh, I am so guilty of this.
Yeah. Oh yeah.
Oh yeah. Right.
But like, when you're guilty of it, what the fuck do you want me
to do about it? I think that's really the
question, yeah. What am I supposed to do about
that? Just say hi back.
Is it that simple? Yeah, wait.
(54:21):
Wait, like. OK, it's close.
It's just. Yeah, kids close I guess because
like I do all the time, because it's, it's such a like a muscle
memory just greeting and it's always with like in passing on
the street. I, I don't think I've ever, I
think I've rarely said good morning when it's in the
morning, when I'm indoors. It's always just like, if it's
(54:42):
outside in the daylight, I'll just be like, oh, good morning,
just in passing. Yeah, I think, I think that's I
just move on. Very.
Yeah, move on with your day. It's because like.
It's yeah, Ryan, move on. Ryan, this is the first time
we've had a voicemail. Or we blame you off.
Get out of here. It's I feel like it's it's with
(55:02):
the same because of, yeah, of course you can't call it out.
That's like, it's like when you say like what's up to somebody
and they go the sky. It's like, oh come on, just say
give me my hello back. Should I mean in any world, is
there a way to correct them? Just be like, oh, it's
afternoon. I think that's insane.
Actually, it sounds wrong when Isay it loud.
(55:23):
Yeah, just ignore it. But OK, here's what I.
This is a good experience. This is a good experiment.
I'm going to say good morning toyou and you try to as pleasantly
and as good naturedly as possible and like you're the
nicest person ever. Correct me.
We're going to the premeditated labs for this.
This is a social experiment. Yes, OK.
OK. You ready?
(55:43):
Good morning, Nick. Hey, Steve, it's a little after
morning. No, see, that's, yeah, that's
that. Sounds so bitchy.
Just waiting for you to say thatword.
Yes, I completely agree. It's give me try again.
Yeah, yeah. Let me do one more experiment.
Yeah, let me try to you OK, you try it, Brian.
(56:05):
Good morning. Oh, hey, it's well, it's it's
see, I already started. OK, Give it to me again.
Give it to me again. I'm going to get it this time,
OK? Brian, good morning.
Hey, 1232, but I guess you're a little bit late.
Oh, God, you're like giving bad like, oh, I, I, I immediately
hated, I hated me as soon as youstarted.
Yeah, I hated you in that scene too.
(56:27):
I you, you were wearing like a golf shirt, you know, like the,
the, like athleisure golf shirtsthat are like, really brightly
colored. I'm like, yes, that's what you
were wearing bad horizontal. Yeah, horizontal stripes.
You pointed at me. I point out to you, I, I, I'm
not sure if you noticed if I checked my watch, that watch was
chunky, too chunky. Oh, my God.
So chunky. Yeah.
(56:48):
And like those and like those wrists have never lifted
anything in their lives. Oh, yeah.
Because, I mean, nobody. Yeah.
Nobody who's doing labor has time for any of that.
Kind of stuff. Yeah, I think it's, I think
that's an impossible phrase to turn.
It's kind of like, OK, I've always had this.
The phrase did I stutter? Impossible to say.
Nice. Impossible.
(57:10):
Oh, did I? Yeah, it's impossible.
I'm trying it. Oh did I stutter and.
Then did I stutter? Did I stutter?
Did I stutter? That's like a scene from, like,
Inglorious Bastards. Yes, you know what I mean?
Oh, did I stutter? Oh, and that's the thing.
Like the bead of sweat that means that everyone figured out
(57:30):
that like, they're all about to die.
In that that's that did I stutter is knowing that Germans
do three with their thumb and the two other fingers.
Yeah, exactly. That's what the actual scene is,
yeah. Yeah, it's a tough, I mean, if
callers, if you call in, call into a voicemail and tell us the
best way, do the did I stutter? But also more specifically, do
(57:52):
what's a good way to correct somebody who gives a good
morning in the afternoon? Because I I think it might be an
impossible task. It's.
If you can, if you can act out apolite way to correct someone
that it's the afternoon when they get a good morning in our
voicemail, we will make shirts which we don't have and send you
one. Yes, and we will also send you a
(58:16):
robe Ocean. All the robes.
You just have robes instead of shirts.
Oh my God, you're a genius. You're a marketing genius.
Yeah, and I think these were cheaper than most T-shirts that
we could don't. Tell the viewers that.
Yeah, it's an exclusive deal that not everybody can get on
Amazon.com. That's right.
(58:36):
One thing I will say hate morning so I don't want to hear
it ever. Oh yeah, but the word morning.
You hate the word morning. I hate the word morning, I hate
the time morning, I hate doing things in the morning.
It's it's just not my time, but.I, I, that's why we're good.
I like, I like the morning. I'm a big morning guy, that kind
of guy. I just, I feel like that's when
I mean, it's how is it not when your brain's freshest, it's when
(58:58):
it's had the most rest. It's true, but.
You're taller in the morning because you've been lying down
and stretching out all night. That's true too.
There's. Listen, I'm not saying there's
not benefits. I'm just saying it's not my
time. Yeah, it's not my time to shine
with that. I think.
Case closed. This is.
This one's easy for us. This one's easy.
Yeah. I, I think you just don't do it.
(59:19):
You just let that person have their missed timed good morning.
And but OK, I, I think, I think it's case closed for two reasons
that I just don't think you should do it.
I don't think you should correctsomebody, OK.
And because if you correct somebody, it's impossible to do.
It's impossible to not be a Dick, yeah.
Yeah, your mic's up. It's way low.
(59:39):
Low. Oh my gosh.
Lolo Jones. That's fine.
I finally got a word associationin.
Lolo Jones. Yeah, she's a professional
athlete. Case closed.
