SPEAKER_02 (00:04):
This is the Unfiltered
SPEAKER_01 (00:06):
Union.
I'm Linz.
SPEAKER_02 (00:07):
And I'm Russ.
SPEAKER_01 (00:08):
Here is this week's
SPEAKER_02 (00:13):
episode.
Well, you know, last time we hada podcast, just us two, no
guests.
I told you that you love gettingsunburned.
SPEAKER_01 (00:21):
Can't help
SPEAKER_02 (00:21):
it.
Look at you now.
SPEAKER_01 (00:24):
I can't help it.
The whole coastline of Floridais a beach.
I love the beach.
Well, why do you like to getsunburned?
You saw how much sunscreen I put
SPEAKER_02 (00:33):
on my face.
I don't understand it.
See, you need to wear what Iwear.
Oh,
SPEAKER_01 (00:38):
and your brilliant idea?
SPEAKER_02 (00:40):
Yes.
SPEAKER_01 (00:41):
Uh-huh.
SPEAKER_02 (00:42):
I really want to develop these.
SPEAKER_01 (00:44):
Okay.
SPEAKER_02 (00:44):
Beach burkas.
SPEAKER_01 (00:45):
Yeah.
I think it would be awesome.
SPEAKER_02 (00:49):
I do, too.
SPEAKER_01 (00:49):
Especially for people fair-skinned like
yourself.
SPEAKER_02 (00:52):
And, you know, certain religious people.
SPEAKER_01 (00:54):
I'm sure they would.
Yes, absolutely.
SPEAKER_02 (00:56):
And it would be very breathable.
And it would be like thatmoisture-wicking fabric, so it
dries quickly.
But it also covers.
SPEAKER_01 (01:07):
Well, there you go.
You have a million-dollar ideathere.
I
SPEAKER_02 (01:09):
think I do.
I really do
SPEAKER_01 (01:11):
believe this.
No, patent-pending.
SPEAKER_02 (01:12):
Yeah, don't even.
Don't.
SPEAKER_01 (01:15):
But I love the beach.
I can't help it.
I put a ton of sunscreen on.
I need to reapply, I guess.
That's the
SPEAKER_02 (01:23):
problem.
For sure.
We're there for a while and noneof us end up
SPEAKER_01 (01:27):
reapplying.
SPEAKER_02 (01:28):
We get burninated.
SPEAKER_01 (01:30):
But then we use sun in and it's great.
SPEAKER_02 (01:33):
Sun in?
That's the hair stuff, eh?
You mean solar recover?
SPEAKER_01 (01:39):
That one.
Then we use solar recover andit's great.
SPEAKER_02 (01:41):
Yeah, we're fine.
SPEAKER_01 (01:42):
Yeah, it's fine.
SPEAKER_02 (01:43):
And then we do sun in and make our hair change
SPEAKER_01 (01:45):
colors.
I'm not a blondie, but I could.
But we attempted to park thismorning at a spot near
Clearwater.
SPEAKER_03 (01:55):
Yep.
SPEAKER_01 (01:56):
And parked the car, got out of the car, walked up to
where you pay for parking.
$30 for three hours.
SPEAKER_02 (02:02):
That was nuts.
SPEAKER_01 (02:04):
Insane.
SPEAKER_02 (02:05):
$30 to park in a place that I live.
I pay taxes.
SPEAKER_01 (02:11):
We paid tolls to get there.
SPEAKER_02 (02:12):
I paid tolls to get there, and yet they still got to
bleed me dry when I just park myvehicle.
I don't live on the beach, so Igot to bring my car.
SPEAKER_01 (02:21):
Right.
SPEAKER_02 (02:22):
It's insane.
With stuff.
SPEAKER_01 (02:23):
Yep.
SPEAKER_02 (02:24):
And it costs$30.
And that wasn't$30 for the wholeday.
That was$30 for three hours.
SPEAKER_01 (02:30):
Right.
SPEAKER_02 (02:30):
So we would have to go back out there, pay another
$30 if we wanted to stay.
Because we spent, what, four orfive hours there today.
So we would have had to pay$60for five hours.
SPEAKER_01 (02:41):
That's insane.
SPEAKER_02 (02:42):
That's a lot of money.
SPEAKER_01 (02:44):
But it doesn't make sense to me because it's not
consistent everywhere throughoutFlorida, at least on the Gulf
side that we've been to, whereyou pay for parking.
There's some that's freeparking.
There's some that's$5.
There's some that it justdepends on where you're going,
really.
But luckily, right down thestreet, there was a place that
it's only$5 for the whole day.
(03:05):
It doesn't make any sense.
And this place was nothing tobrag about.
It was literally like analleyway.
It was.
You have 30 parking spots, maybea bathroom, a little tent area.
But other than that, it wasn'tanything to brag about.
SPEAKER_02 (03:19):
They're charging you $30 for a toilet.
SPEAKER_01 (03:21):
Right?
I don't get it.
SPEAKER_02 (03:23):
It's not right.
SPEAKER_01 (03:24):
It's insane.
SPEAKER_02 (03:26):
I
SPEAKER_01 (03:26):
don't know if it's like a private thing.
I
SPEAKER_02 (03:29):
think it was a county parking lot.
But still, I think that'srobbery.
SPEAKER_01 (03:34):
I agree.
And the idea that it can bedifferent anywhere.
I
SPEAKER_02 (03:42):
almost wonder why they have to charge us as
residents, but why don't theyjust charge tourists?
Right.
Because they're spending moneyhere in the state, so they're
paying taxes and stuff, butthey're not...
Paying property tax in thecounty and all that stuff.
SPEAKER_01 (04:03):
Road, school.
SPEAKER_02 (04:04):
Yeah.
It's a scam.
I pay enough money already, soyou're just bleeding me dry.
SPEAKER_01 (04:11):
Yeah.
But it was fun, though.
SPEAKER_02 (04:15):
It was fun, and you got sunburned, so you're happy.
SPEAKER_01 (04:17):
I'm not happy I got sunburned.
I'm happy.
SPEAKER_02 (04:21):
You like getting burnt.
SPEAKER_01 (04:23):
No, I like going to the beach.
It's fun.
SPEAKER_02 (04:25):
It was fun.
SPEAKER_01 (04:26):
But also, earlier this month, there was 988 Day.
SPEAKER_02 (04:30):
Explain.
SPEAKER_01 (04:31):
It actually happened on September 8th.
And the correlation there,98898.
Wow.
988 is the suicide hotline.
So if you are feeling any sortof feelings, emotions that would
require such support, you call988 instead of 911.
And it would direct you topeople who could help you and
(04:53):
support you in those times.
I think for mental healthawareness, like this is big,
right?
Like this is something that it'sbeen around for a while but
something that educate people onlet them know it's there as a
resource like i think it'simportant
SPEAKER_02 (05:08):
yeah i i like the idea of 988 but why not why
can't you just call 9-1-1 andthey transfer you to you know
just keep it one same number
SPEAKER_01 (05:23):
I don't know.
SPEAKER_02 (05:24):
I'm just saying.
I like the idea.
I think it's smart.
I think it's easily rememberedand...
Pick up your phone, hit 988.
But I just wonder why anadditional.
SPEAKER_01 (05:36):
Well, I guess it's immediate help.
SPEAKER_02 (05:38):
So it was 911.
SPEAKER_01 (05:40):
Right.
But if they're having toredirect you to a specialist
therapist, someone, socialworker, somebody who has
expertise in those type ofdiscussions.
SPEAKER_02 (05:49):
I don't know.
I just find it weird because911, they take calls for like
crime and then they take callsfor people.
Dying?
So it's different.
They're redirecting you toeither police or the fire
department or whatever.
I
SPEAKER_01 (06:08):
don't know.
SPEAKER_02 (06:09):
I like it, though.
I do like it.
I'm just being cynical and kindof...
Your
SPEAKER_01 (06:16):
unfiltered opinion.
Congratulations.
SPEAKER_02 (06:19):
Welcome to the podcast.
I like that they're doing it,but I just think that it should
be blended into the numberthat's already recognizable
everywhere anyway.
I
SPEAKER_01 (06:28):
think that's just another resource.
I don't think it's in...
different or don't use this.
It's just another resource.
SPEAKER_02 (06:40):
We always talk about why they separate that kind of
health with mental health, eventhough it's all a combination.
SPEAKER_01 (06:49):
But now
SPEAKER_02 (06:50):
they're separating it again.
SPEAKER_01 (06:51):
Well, I think it's the idea of keeping
communication lines open, right?
If you have this problem, callthis.
If you have this problem, callthis.
If you have this problem, callthis.
I don't think that's a negativething to put buck and keep lines
open.
If somebody needs immediateassistance on their mental
health versus houses burningdown, why wouldn't you have two
(07:15):
lines?
SPEAKER_02 (07:16):
Because you don't have two lines for somebody's
robbing my house versus fire isburning down my house.
It should be one line.
That's all I'm saying.
SPEAKER_01 (07:28):
But I don't think that you can't call 911.
No, I
SPEAKER_02 (07:32):
know.
I just...
I don't know.
I'm done.
I just think I just once again,I feel like people are
separating mental illness fromother health things.
And I don't like that.
I like the idea that there's anadditional resource.
(07:52):
I don't like the idea thatthey're separating this stuff.
It's a part of life.
And you should call 9-1-1.
I mean, if you have a mentalhealth crisis, obviously call
988, but I'm just saying, I feellike it should be one thing
(08:13):
because it's already memorable.
They're teaching kids about itin school.
911.
They're probably doing 988 now,but I'm just saying, I just feel
like separating this stuff againis, is silly.
SPEAKER_01 (08:30):
Well, speaking of schools and 911, 988, all these
things.
Recently, across all the UnitedStates, there has been a social
media trend of kids.
It doesn't seem to just beteenagers in high school.
It's any age at this point areputting in either false tips or
(08:54):
tips in general related toactive shootings and or bombs
and or.
Things that are happening are,you know, all the things that we
pray and hope never happen toour kids in schools.
But they're putting in thesetips and it is causing what
happened recently in our Tampaarea is police department with
(09:17):
SWAT, with helicopters, with allthe resources they can pull.
It's
SPEAKER_02 (09:22):
costing thousands upon thousands of dollars and
man hours.
And you're pulling officers offof.
SPEAKER_01 (09:30):
Crime.
SPEAKER_02 (09:31):
Actual crime and causing them to waste time
instead of being out thereactually doing what they should
be doing.
But
SPEAKER_01 (09:41):
mind you, if it's a real threat, then I'm glad
they're taking it serious.
SPEAKER_02 (09:45):
No, I agree.
But when you come to find outit's not a threat, all those
people that were sent out there,SWAT team, helicopters, all
that, they could have beenpicking up somebody who got in a
car accident.
Right.
You know, airlifting someone oranything.
They could have stopped the bankrobbery.
(10:06):
I don't know.
I'm just saying.
UNKNOWN (10:09):
Yeah.
SPEAKER_02 (10:10):
These kids that are doing this shit, they need the
hammer laid on them.
SPEAKER_01 (10:16):
Well, hold on.
So it's across the UnitedStates.
It's not an isolated incident.
It's, you know, I have friendsin other parts of Florida that
are saying that's happeningthere, too.
I have friends in Virginia.
We have friends, you know,everywhere that is.
It's just widespread becausethese kids think.
They get famous?
I don't know what they'rethinking.
I think it's funny, I think.
(10:37):
Right, that they can get out ofschool, that they...
I don't know what they'rethinking, to be honest with you.
And I...
I really hope that they eitherget help or can fully grasp
their situation at some pointbecause it's insane that they
think that this is okay to do,that it's, I don't get it.
But the point I'm trying tomake, recently, one of the
(11:00):
sheriffs in Florida came out andsaid that from here forward, any
child in school who puts in oneof these tips and they are
found, they will be perp walkedin front of the media.
Uh, Their images will be postedonline as well as their parents'
images.
And their parents are going tohave to pay for these bills for
(11:23):
all of the sheriff's resourcesthat are being utilized in order
to investigate these things.
And essentially, you know, it'salmost like a walk of shame for
both the kid and the parents.
So...
I don't know how I feel aboutthis.
There's so many different thingsto this, and I want to talk it
(11:44):
out for a minute.
The idea of a kid being perpwalked, right?
If they're out to get famous,like if they think this is a
social media trend, I'll getfamous.
If I'm being if I'm caught, Idon't know.
I don't get it.
But if I'm going to get famous,well, if you give them a perp
(12:06):
walk, that's certainly going togive them some attention.
OK,
SPEAKER_02 (12:09):
but hopefully that perp walk isn't Hopefully it's a
perp walk to juvie or jail.
SPEAKER_01 (12:20):
I mean, everybody's innocent until proven guilty.
Oh, yeah,
SPEAKER_02 (12:23):
that's what I mean.
Because what this sheriff saidwas they're not going to perp
walk the parents because theparents didn't do it.
SPEAKER_01 (12:32):
Wow.
SPEAKER_02 (12:32):
But what they're
SPEAKER_01 (12:33):
going to do is
SPEAKER_02 (12:34):
they're going to call the media when they're
getting ready to send thisperson out, probably prior to
court, and their parents comepick them up.
They're going to record theparents coming to pick them up
and almost shame them.
Now, one thing that I don't.
really like, but I almost thinkit's necessary, is shaming the
(12:55):
parents.
Because sometimes these kids aredoing stuff that parents don't
have a clue or it's just random.
SPEAKER_01 (13:08):
Well, I want to stick with the kid for just a
second.
We'll come to the parents inanother moment.
But when it comes to the kids,the kids and perp walking them,
right?
I fully believe that if you canmake a threat like this, then
you need to be tried, acted asan adult.
SPEAKER_02 (13:28):
Yeah, you're playing stupid games.
SPEAKER_01 (13:31):
Fafo.
Yeah, you
SPEAKER_02 (13:32):
are 100% fafo.
SPEAKER_01 (13:33):
Yep, you are fucking around.
You are about to find out.
SPEAKER_02 (13:36):
Yep.
SPEAKER_01 (13:37):
So I 100% agree with every action that you can take
against the kid who is makingthese kind of accusations,
whether they are real or not.
Right.
Right.
(14:12):
If you don't know that yourchild is either on some online
platform making these kind ofthreats or literally seriously
has some problem within themthat they are legitimately going
to carry this out.
There's signs, right?
SPEAKER_03 (14:29):
Oh, yeah.
SPEAKER_01 (14:30):
There's always signs.
Then the parents need to be heldresponsible to some extent, some
degree.
I don't know what that is, but.
SPEAKER_02 (14:38):
I don't know.
I don't know how you can holdsomebody who didn't do anything
responsible.
SPEAKER_01 (14:44):
They
SPEAKER_02 (14:45):
didn't do it.
SPEAKER_01 (14:45):
Well, I guess if you're trying them as an adult,
they are no longer a minor.
But I was going to say they're aminor, so you would hold the
parents responsible.
But if you're trying them as anadult, then they're no longer a
minor.
SPEAKER_02 (14:55):
I do think that they should go after them financially
for the bill, for sure.
Because that's resources thatother taxpayers are having to
pay.
And your kid did it.
But...
I don't know what else you cando to them.
They didn't do it.
(15:15):
I mean, did your parents knowyou went on chat rooms and stuff
as a kid?
SPEAKER_01 (15:22):
Every 90s kid.
I'm
SPEAKER_02 (15:23):
serious.
Did they know that kind ofstuff?
What happened in them chat roomsand everything?
No.
But that's the thing.
It's like they didn't know.
They just trusted you.
Maybe the parents trusted theirkid.
They had no idea this kid had asinister side.
Sometimes that stuff just popsout.
(15:44):
They go to school, especiallyhigh school, and they get
involved with the wrong people.
That happens.
SPEAKER_01 (15:51):
It does.
SPEAKER_02 (15:52):
Yeah.
And they change.
And maybe you don't see it athome.
SPEAKER_01 (15:58):
Maybe.
I
SPEAKER_02 (15:58):
just have a really hard time with it.
SPEAKER_01 (16:01):
I agree, but I definitely think they need to be
tried as adults.
And I honestly have a hard timesaying even that because I guess
there's 11-year-olds who havebeen arrested.
Like, how do you put an11-year-old through an adult
trial, an adult jail?
Like, oh my God.
(16:22):
It
SPEAKER_02 (16:22):
hurts me.
SPEAKER_01 (16:24):
Me too.
It
SPEAKER_02 (16:24):
hurts me, but you are...
Playing a really stupid game.
SPEAKER_01 (16:29):
And their brains aren't fully developed.
It's like it's it is so hard toknow what the right thing is.
But our
SPEAKER_02 (16:38):
kid is younger than 11.
SPEAKER_01 (16:40):
Mm hmm.
SPEAKER_02 (16:41):
And she would never do that.
SPEAKER_01 (16:43):
You can't say that.
SPEAKER_02 (16:44):
I know.
Well, that's true.
But based on what I know, shewouldn't do that.
SPEAKER_01 (16:50):
You can't say that.
I know it's hard to think, butwe can't.
Nobody can say that.
Right.
You can't say that about anybodyyou know.
that they would never dosomething like that.
You don't know what anyone iscapable of, what goes on in
their head.
And I think this is where I kindof wanted to bring in the idea
of 988 is mental health matters,right?
(17:11):
A lot of these kids who aregoing through these things and
either one, they think thatthey're going to get famous,
that they would never really doit or two, they're really going
to do it.
Like that's a mental healthcrisis.
I can't imagine what is goingthrough their head if they think
that they have to take thataction or if they think they're
(17:32):
going to get famous like whatattention are you not getting or
that you're seeking right so I
SPEAKER_02 (17:38):
you think some kid calling a school and saying a
threat like that is a mentalthing
SPEAKER_01 (17:46):
I think there is some mental aspect to it.
Absolutely.
If they're really going to carryit out, then that's that is a
mental health crisis that youfeel like that is your only way
to deal with this situation.
SPEAKER_02 (17:58):
Oh, for sure.
I think people are crazy,though.
SPEAKER_01 (18:02):
But for the people who are just doing it because
they think they're going to getfamous.
SPEAKER_02 (18:05):
I don't think that's a mental thing.
SPEAKER_01 (18:08):
Well, you can almost argue it, though, right?
Because social media, if youfeel so much pressure on social
media.
Maybe you shouldn't have it.
Maybe you're not mentallyprepared for it.
I
SPEAKER_02 (18:21):
think it's kind of interesting that a lot of these
local governments and stuff areconsidering and have enacted
bans on minors using socialmedia.
SPEAKER_01 (18:31):
I don't know how you validate that, but I almost
agree at this point.
I
SPEAKER_02 (18:36):
know.
I do, too, because it's likethey're being exposed to things.
Yeah.
Right.
(18:59):
It's going to be hard to fakethat.
I mean, everything else you doonline, you got to do an ID.
Like if you want to buy Bitcoin,you got to do IDs or whatever.
So why not do that with socialmedia?
Clearly, This country is goingthrough a weird phase of young
people feeling like they got toact out.
And I am about 95% sure a lot ofit has to do with social media.
SPEAKER_01 (19:23):
Oh, 100%.
Because they see somebody
SPEAKER_02 (19:25):
doing something.
I mean, look, these fuckingpeople were eating Tide Pods.
Didn't you just...
You told me yesterday or the daybefore the kids are eating
straws.
SPEAKER_01 (19:35):
Yeah, to save the turtles.
Yep.
Why?
I mean, that could be a fakenews line, but...
Yeah, the kids are eating strawsto save the turtles.
SPEAKER_02 (19:45):
Yeah, straws aren't good for you.
Don't
SPEAKER_01 (19:48):
do that.
Nope, same with Tide Pods.
SPEAKER_02 (19:51):
So I just feel like this social media thing is just
clearly...
I mean, not everybody, but a lotof people are not responsible
enough to have it.
SPEAKER_01 (20:00):
I agree.
SPEAKER_02 (20:01):
So shut
SPEAKER_01 (20:02):
it off.
If you're not mentally developedenough to be able to handle
social media...
The pressures of it, the ideasthat these kids, you know, can
get famous quick or get richquick on social media.
It's insane.
Like, I don't know.
There's something that's got tobe done.
SPEAKER_02 (20:24):
Yeah, it's it's no good.
UNKNOWN (20:28):
Yeah.
SPEAKER_02 (20:28):
We're going down a bad, bad path with our young
generations, and it's not good.
It scares me.
I do, too.
SPEAKER_01 (20:36):
So bad.
SPEAKER_02 (20:37):
The fact that these kids in our Tampa area, they
were forced to turn the entireschool, turn their lights off,
shut their lights off.
announced you know essentiallyyou need to hide
SPEAKER_03 (20:54):
these
SPEAKER_02 (20:55):
kids are in class and you need to hide and then
red lights were blinking intheir classrooms they were under
their desks crowded in a cornercowering in fear and All of a
sudden, helicopters show up.
SWAT team shows up.
(21:15):
They then send police squads toeach classroom, take all the
kids out to the gym, metaldetect them, and then yank their
bags open and check every singlebag.
Why would anybody want to sendtheir kid to public schools
SPEAKER_01 (21:34):
now?
I have no idea.
I really don't.
It's...
I can't imagine what parentswent through that day.
SPEAKER_02 (21:41):
Oh, well, yeah.
My biggest concern is someonecalling something like that in,
getting all the attention oversomewhere else and doing
something somewhere else.
It's terrifying to
SPEAKER_01 (21:57):
me.
Absolutely.
Because it did.
There was multiple schools thatthis happened with across
multiple counties across thewhole United States.
So it's like, Oh, God.
SPEAKER_02 (22:08):
It makes me angry because these kids are just
trying to go to school andyou're trying to teach them and
make sure they're not, don'tgrow up to be uneducated.
SPEAKER_01 (22:20):
Right.
You want smart kids and socialkids.
SPEAKER_02 (22:24):
Yeah, but then you have to worry about your kid not
coming home that day because ofsome random threat that's been
dropped and Now your kids heldthere.
They can't move.
You can't go pick them up.
They won't let anybody near thatplace.
SPEAKER_01 (22:42):
Not on campus.
Nope.
There was parents parking acrossthe street because they weren't
allowed on campus.
And yeah, I can't imagine.
I mean,
SPEAKER_02 (22:51):
how helpless would you feel?
SPEAKER_01 (22:54):
Because we're in Tampa.
The Hillsborough CountySheriff's Department is the one
that responded and they didamazing.
They did.
They did.
I mean, they responded to a lot.
It sounded like that day wasmultiple places, but they did an
amazing job keeping everybodysafe, doing what they could to
keep everybody in the know, butI can't imagine what parents
(23:15):
went through that day and I wantto homeschool.
SPEAKER_02 (23:18):
Yeah, it's nuts that you have to worry about that.
The world is going to shit.
And it makes me sad.
SPEAKER_01 (23:28):
That's heavy.
SPEAKER_02 (23:29):
It is.
Now let's switch gears here.
SPEAKER_01 (23:32):
Well, I mean, I still want to talk about the
police for a second.
Did you see where they attemptedto arrest Tyreek Hill from the
Miami Dolphins football player?
SPEAKER_02 (23:40):
Yeah, I did.
SPEAKER_01 (23:41):
Did you see that he got arrested at noon and was at
the game at 3 p.m.?
SPEAKER_02 (23:45):
Yeah, and then he pretended to get arrested when
he...
Didn't he score a touchdown orsomething?
SPEAKER_01 (23:49):
I think so.
And
SPEAKER_02 (23:50):
he pretended to get arrested.
I thought that was funny ashell.
SPEAKER_01 (23:54):
That was awesome.
You know they were...
were dolphins fans the thesheriffs that arrested him they
were dolphins fans like
SPEAKER_02 (24:02):
why
SPEAKER_01 (24:03):
because they let him go
SPEAKER_02 (24:04):
oh yeah yeah yeah for
SPEAKER_01 (24:06):
sure either that he has a really good lawyer i
SPEAKER_02 (24:09):
mean he's got money he can pay bail and all that but
you know i don't i don't knowwhat they charged him with i
didn't really dig a whole lotinto that story because
SPEAKER_01 (24:18):
he was it was hilarious
SPEAKER_02 (24:20):
he went to that game like the same day so
SPEAKER_01 (24:24):
i laughed so hard
SPEAKER_02 (24:25):
clearly it wasn't a big thing
SPEAKER_01 (24:26):
right It's Florida.
SPEAKER_02 (24:28):
It is Florida.
Everybody's used to this kind ofcraziness.
SPEAKER_01 (24:32):
I actually wanted to talk to you about Apple.
They just had their big event.
It's
SPEAKER_02 (24:37):
glow time.
SPEAKER_01 (24:38):
Right.
That whole thing.
I don't get it, but okay.
So their big reveal
SPEAKER_02 (24:45):
new button
SPEAKER_01 (24:46):
was a button
SPEAKER_02 (24:47):
and it's not even a button.
SPEAKER_01 (24:49):
It's like
SPEAKER_02 (24:50):
a touch thing at the top of the phone.
That's a camera or I don't know.
It's some kind of weird camerabutton that feels like a button
but it's not you push it it hashaptic feedback i'm like man
smartphones are done what areyou laughing at
SPEAKER_01 (25:07):
tell me it was designed by a man without
telling me it was designed by aman what it's a button but it's
not a button you couldn't findthe button no someone pointed it
to you
SPEAKER_02 (25:18):
if you pushed it it doesn't click in oh god if you
push into it it doesn't click inbut it Makes the phone buzz.
Oh, my God.
Can't find the button?
Yours has haptic feedback, too.
Oh,
SPEAKER_01 (25:37):
Lord.
Okay.
Wow.
SPEAKER_02 (25:39):
But this got me thinking.
Like, there is zero innovationanymore in smartphones.
SPEAKER_01 (25:46):
Yep.
SPEAKER_02 (25:48):
So what's next?
UNKNOWN (25:50):
I'm so confused.
SPEAKER_01 (25:51):
Oh, God.
It was designed by a man.
That's all I can think of rightnow.
It was designed by a man.
And that's not a bad thing.
I'm not saying it's a bad thing.
It's a button, but it's not abutton.
He couldn't find the button.
Okay.
Right.
You and I started talking aboutthis.
(26:11):
Okay.
You and I started talking aboutthis and we put it on pause
because we wanted to talk aboutit here.
SPEAKER_03 (26:17):
Right.
SPEAKER_01 (26:18):
The idea that Apple came up with a button that's not
a button as their big reveal islike that.
SPEAKER_03 (26:28):
That's it?
SPEAKER_01 (26:29):
That's it.
That's it.
SPEAKER_03 (26:31):
Right.
SPEAKER_01 (26:31):
That's it.
Like, back in the early 2000s,it was, bam, new phone.
Bam, new features.
Right.
It was
SPEAKER_02 (26:39):
big features, like feature drops, you know, way
better cameras, Siri, all thatstuff.
SPEAKER_01 (26:47):
Right.
And now it just feels, it's abutton, but it's not a button.
SPEAKER_03 (26:51):
Yeah.
SPEAKER_01 (26:52):
So, is it...
what is the next phase of thesmartphone then if apple can't
come up with anything new rightlike they are the innovators in
my opinion i mean you've gotsamsung you've got you know some
of the other phones that are outthere but it feels like we're
almost on repeat with a lot ofthese because you've now got a
phone that can fold right you'vegot a phone that can
SPEAKER_02 (27:13):
yeah i think that was intended to be like the next
phase of smartphone but I don'tthink people want a bigger
phone.
They're already big.
SPEAKER_01 (27:24):
Uh-huh.
SPEAKER_02 (27:25):
And they're not real rugged yet, those foldables.
They're kind of...
You got to kind of baby them alittle bit because if dust gets
in the hinge, it gets all jackedup.
Your inside screen can crackreal easy.
SPEAKER_01 (27:39):
I can't take that to the beach.
SPEAKER_02 (27:40):
No, no, no.
But it got me thinking, too,about the next phase.
Like, I don't think thefoldables are it.
I think it's wearables likeaugmented reality wearables
like.
SPEAKER_01 (27:54):
But then that's not a smartphone, right?
Yeah.
So are we seeing the age of thesmartphone is over?
I
SPEAKER_02 (27:59):
think it's coming.
None of this.
none of this is innovativeanymore
SPEAKER_01 (28:05):
right
SPEAKER_02 (28:06):
it doesn't like I used to want to upgrade my phone
every single time because it waslike what I gotta have that
feature but now I'm like
SPEAKER_01 (28:17):
you've got a case up shiny
SPEAKER_02 (28:19):
but there was reasons to
SPEAKER_01 (28:21):
for it
SPEAKER_02 (28:22):
it wasn't just that's a new one I want to get
it it was
SPEAKER_01 (28:25):
99% of the time it was that I
SPEAKER_02 (28:27):
don't have Siri so I want to get Siri or whatever But
now I got a button.
SPEAKER_01 (28:35):
That's not a button, and I gotta find it.
SPEAKER_02 (28:38):
I push it, and it pretends to click, but the phone
just vibrates.
SPEAKER_01 (28:43):
I can't.
SPEAKER_02 (28:44):
I think that the next phase is like...
The
SPEAKER_01 (28:47):
phone fakes it, babe.
SPEAKER_02 (28:49):
Like glasses.
You're tripping.
You need to go to bed.
I think glasses with aninterface built in, mics in the
arms of the glasses, all that isgonna be the next phase.
SPEAKER_01 (29:03):
Yeah.
Well, okay, so we always talkabout this, right?
Like we've said this many timesthroughout our technology lives,
right?
That they always pre-flighttechnology and then they refine
it until it gets to be somethingthat is like, we've had
autonomous driving for a longtime.
You think about the cruisecontrol, you think about lane
(29:26):
assist, you think about like allthese, the sensors that are on a
vehicle.
Like you think of all thesethings that have been out there
for a while.
It's like, It's been testing tolead up to us
SPEAKER_02 (29:38):
combining it all together.
SPEAKER_01 (29:39):
Exactly.
Into the next technology.
So autonomous driving, you haveall these pieces, right?
Same thing.
I think that we've been buildingup to what you're saying is the
next phase of technology ofwearables.
You have Oculus Rift, right?
You've got the, they do have
SPEAKER_02 (29:57):
Oculus Quest, but yes.
SPEAKER_01 (29:59):
Excuse me.
UNKNOWN (30:02):
Yeah.
SPEAKER_01 (30:02):
You have glasses that have the microphones in
them already in the camera.
You've got you know, so it'slike we've we're always building
up towards the next
SPEAKER_02 (30:11):
phase.
(30:32):
Apple Vision Pro, it can beaugmented reality.
It's not just like a game thatyou're playing inside of this
headset.
It is using your outerenvironment to show you
information.
Like you can sit in a room andwatch tv on the wall a huge
(30:56):
screen on your wall right butthe screen's not really there
it's just here right so i thinkshrinking that down and putting
that kind of feature within likean interface like your glasses
like what how cool would it beif you're driving down the road
And you have GPS like it doesn'treally mess with your vision,
(31:19):
but you have GPS on your glassesso you can see it.
It shows you like a see-throughoverlay that's like, all right,
you need to get over to theright lane.
Because GPS is shit like that.
SPEAKER_01 (31:31):
Right.
You're like, oh, my God, I gotto turn here.
I know.
And we did that earlier.
Yes.
North towards Tampa, southtowards St.
Pete.
SPEAKER_02 (31:41):
Went the wrong way.
But I do think that that's thefuture because.
And I don't I mean, I don't knowhow you really interact with it
yet.
I know the Apple Vision Pro, youcan actually use your eyes to
scroll and stuff.
It's creepy.
SPEAKER_01 (31:55):
Yeah.
SPEAKER_02 (31:56):
But like, how do you type?
Because I don't want to be Idon't want to say things out
loud.
SPEAKER_01 (32:01):
You could type with your eyes too.
A lot of paraplegics do that.
SPEAKER_02 (32:05):
Well, then maybe they pull that in there.
So that's, they pulled inparaplegics and, and use the
technology like blind spotmonitoring and stuff.
SPEAKER_01 (32:15):
Yeah.
I mean, seriously, we talk aboutit all the time.
It's, it's out there.
They just start to accumulateand creates the next phase.
SPEAKER_02 (32:22):
But I think that Apple one is the best example of
the, combining things together.
SPEAKER_01 (32:30):
So we think the age of the smartphone's over?
SPEAKER_02 (32:32):
It's coming, I think.
That's
SPEAKER_01 (32:35):
crazy.
SPEAKER_02 (32:36):
All the smartphone things now are always
software-based.
SPEAKER_01 (32:43):
Right.
SPEAKER_02 (32:43):
The upgrades.
And it's like, well, upgrade theone that I have.
And clearly they don't want todo that because they want you to
buy the new one.
SPEAKER_01 (32:49):
Right.
Always.
SPEAKER_02 (32:51):
But why?
Yep.
Especially with this AI stuffthat, like Google Pixel, they
have put AI at the front andcenter of almost everything they
do.
including their their phones andA lot of this stuff is offloaded
to the cloud.
So anything can run that shit.
You know what I mean?
SPEAKER_01 (33:11):
Uh-huh.
You're saying lots of words.
SPEAKER_02 (33:13):
Yeah.
I'm saying that your phoneprocessor speed and RAM, all
that stuff doesn't matterbecause you're sending, like if
you want to do a photo edit thatuses AI, it sends to the cloud.
SPEAKER_01 (33:25):
Right.
SPEAKER_02 (33:26):
It does it on their servers.
SPEAKER_01 (33:27):
What's the cloud?
SPEAKER_02 (33:29):
It's over here.
UNKNOWN (33:31):
Okay.
SPEAKER_02 (33:31):
Ask Kamala.
SPEAKER_01 (33:33):
Oh, I'm so sick of politics.
Not today.
SPEAKER_02 (33:36):
Yeah, no, we have to talk about that.
SPEAKER_01 (33:37):
No, we are not.
I do not want to talk aboutTrump.
I do not want to talk aboutKamala.
SPEAKER_02 (33:42):
I did enjoy that debate, though.
SPEAKER_01 (33:44):
No politics today, please.
I am already so sick of it.
And we have a long way to gountil November.
SPEAKER_02 (33:50):
We do.
But it'll be here before youknow it.
SPEAKER_01 (33:53):
It's going to be crazy.
SPEAKER_02 (33:54):
We don't have live TV in this house, so we don't
really see a lot of thecommercials.
So that's good.
SPEAKER_01 (33:59):
No, I refuse.
Every now and then when we'rewatching YouTube, maybe, but no.
But did you hear about theAmazon driver who was so drunk?
And I'm wondering if this is afake headline, but it made me
laugh so hard I had to share it.
There was an Amazon driver.
He was so drunk that he wasdriving on sidewalks.
(34:24):
He actually then drove intosomeone's house to deliver a
package.
SPEAKER_02 (34:28):
He drove into?
SPEAKER_01 (34:28):
Into the house.
SPEAKER_02 (34:30):
He thought it was a drive-thru.
SPEAKER_01 (34:31):
Into.
Yep.
Into.
And when he was gettingarrested, he actually had a note
written already that said, I candrive lit, bro.
It says it right here.
Oh,
SPEAKER_02 (34:43):
my God.
This has to be in Florida.
SPEAKER_01 (34:46):
I was thinking the exact same thing, but there was
no palm trees in the video.
SPEAKER_02 (34:49):
Dang
SPEAKER_01 (34:50):
it.
I don't even know if it's real,but I laughed so hard.
I can drive.
I've lit, bro.
SPEAKER_02 (34:55):
I mean, some people can.
No.
It doesn't mean they should.
SPEAKER_01 (34:58):
No, nobody can.
Nobody can.
They think they can.
SPEAKER_02 (35:01):
Oh, yeah, that's true.
SPEAKER_01 (35:02):
They think they can.
Well, clearly.
Nobody can.
He
SPEAKER_02 (35:04):
can't because he was driving on sidewalks.
SPEAKER_01 (35:06):
Right.
And
SPEAKER_02 (35:07):
he drove into somebody's house.
SPEAKER_01 (35:08):
Right.
He was just parking.
He was just parking.
SPEAKER_02 (35:11):
Yeah.
SPEAKER_01 (35:12):
That's convenient.
Okay.
Last thing I want to talk about.
Now, this is more into marriagetype things.
I think this is a very importantthing that needs to happen
between couples that havedecided to get married, right?
If you get engaged, one of thethings you start talking about
(35:32):
besides a date for your weddingand who you're going to invite
needs to be whether or not yousmash cake.
SPEAKER_02 (35:40):
What, you mean like in each other's face?
SPEAKER_01 (35:42):
Yes.
So at most wedding ceremonieshere in America, you take a
piece of cake and you feed eachother, right?
Yeah, but that
SPEAKER_02 (35:51):
turns violent.
SPEAKER_01 (35:53):
In some relationships.
SPEAKER_02 (35:55):
I saw a video of this just recently.
SPEAKER_01 (35:57):
I know.
Oh, did you see it?
I saw a video recently, too.
He grabbed her head and
SPEAKER_02 (36:01):
smashed it in.
SPEAKER_01 (36:02):
I would...
SPEAKER_02 (36:04):
Oh, no, I would kill...
That made me mad.
That was way overboard.
The cake was...
From her
SPEAKER_01 (36:11):
forehead
SPEAKER_02 (36:12):
to her, you know, ponytail or however she did her
hair.
It was on her whole top of herhead.
SPEAKER_01 (36:19):
So this needs to be a discussion.
I'd
SPEAKER_02 (36:22):
have been like, give me that marriage certificate
before you sign it and rip itup.
SPEAKER_01 (36:26):
This is something that every couple and we have a
couple.
I have a cousin and a friendwho's getting married next year.
I'm going to tell them this.
This is my only advice beforeyou get married.
Make sure that you speak withyour soon-to-be spouse and you
guys describe how you would likethe cake smashing to go.
SPEAKER_02 (36:47):
Yeah, you told me not to do it too hard, but you
have to do a little bit.
SPEAKER_01 (36:53):
Well, for me, I spent money on hair and makeup,
probably way too much money onhair and makeup for our wedding.
But yeah, I wanted it.
And I did tell you, please don'tmess up my makeup.
That was the only thing I
SPEAKER_02 (37:09):
asked.
I just did a little bit aroundyour mouth.
SPEAKER_01 (37:11):
Right.
Same.
Yeah.
You started to go for it, andthen I actually kind of
strong-armed into your
SPEAKER_02 (37:18):
mouth.
Yeah, that one video, though, hegrabbed her head and pushed it
into the cake.
He didn't even pick a piece up.
SPEAKER_01 (37:24):
There's a lot like that.
SPEAKER_02 (37:25):
It was the whole cake.
I was like, dude, that's kind ofdangerous, too.
There's structure to these cakessometimes.
They hold them together withshit.
SPEAKER_01 (37:37):
Yep.
post like there's a little postin there sometimes we had
candles around ours yeah
SPEAKER_02 (37:43):
remember you burned my dag on hand
SPEAKER_01 (37:45):
we were cutting it yep and your hand got a little
close to the flame i said
SPEAKER_02 (37:50):
ow everybody's like
SPEAKER_01 (37:52):
uh-oh
SPEAKER_02 (37:52):
they got a knife and he said ow
SPEAKER_01 (37:55):
that that was an accident but for yes i think
it's for nothing else if you getnothing else out of today's
podcast
SPEAKER_02 (38:03):
discuss that first before you get married
SPEAKER_01 (38:05):
and yep
SPEAKER_02 (38:06):
and smash each other's faces
SPEAKER_01 (38:08):
And rip up the wedding certificate before it's
signed.
SPEAKER_02 (38:10):
Yeah.
We just had a big party today.
We spent thousands on.
Everything else is...
We're not married.
UNKNOWN (38:16):
Nope.

SPEAKER_01 (00:08):
Here is this week's
SPEAKER_02 (00:13):
episode.
Well, you know, last time we hada podcast, just us two, no
guests.
I told you that you love gettingsunburned.
SPEAKER_01 (00:21):
Can't help
SPEAKER_02 (00:21):
it.
Look at you now.
SPEAKER_01 (00:24):
I can't help it.
The whole coastline of Floridais a beach.
I love the beach.
Well, why do you like to getsunburned?
You saw how much sunscreen I put
SPEAKER_02 (00:33):
on my face.
I don't understand it.
See, you need to wear what Iwear.
Oh,
SPEAKER_01 (00:38):
and your brilliant idea?
SPEAKER_02 (00:40):
Yes.
SPEAKER_01 (00:41):
Uh-huh.
SPEAKER_02 (00:42):
I really want to develop these.
SPEAKER_01 (00:44):
Okay.
SPEAKER_02 (00:44):
Beach burkas.
SPEAKER_01 (00:45):
Yeah.
I think it would be awesome.
SPEAKER_02 (00:49):
I do, too.
SPEAKER_01 (00:49):
Especially for people fair-skinned like
yourself.
SPEAKER_02 (00:52):
And, you know, certain religious people.
SPEAKER_01 (00:54):
I'm sure they would.
Yes, absolutely.
SPEAKER_02 (00:56):
And it would be very breathable.
And it would be like thatmoisture-wicking fabric, so it
dries quickly.
But it also covers.
SPEAKER_01 (01:07):
Well, there you go.
You have a million-dollar ideathere.
I
SPEAKER_02 (01:09):
think I do.
I really do
SPEAKER_01 (01:11):
believe this.
No, patent-pending.
SPEAKER_02 (01:12):
Yeah, don't even.
Don't.
SPEAKER_01 (01:15):
But I love the beach.
I can't help it.
I put a ton of sunscreen on.
I need to reapply, I guess.
That's the
SPEAKER_02 (01:23):
problem.
For sure.
We're there for a while and noneof us end up
SPEAKER_01 (01:27):
reapplying.
SPEAKER_02 (01:28):
We get burninated.
SPEAKER_01 (01:30):
But then we use sun in and it's great.
SPEAKER_02 (01:33):
Sun in?
That's the hair stuff, eh?
You mean solar recover?
SPEAKER_01 (01:39):
That one.
Then we use solar recover andit's great.
SPEAKER_02 (01:41):
Yeah, we're fine.
SPEAKER_01 (01:42):
Yeah, it's fine.
SPEAKER_02 (01:43):
And then we do sun in and make our hair change
SPEAKER_01 (01:45):
colors.
I'm not a blondie, but I could.
But we attempted to park thismorning at a spot near
Clearwater.
SPEAKER_03 (01:55):
Yep.
SPEAKER_01 (01:56):
And parked the car, got out of the car, walked up to
where you pay for parking.
$30 for three hours.
SPEAKER_02 (02:02):
That was nuts.
SPEAKER_01 (02:04):
Insane.
SPEAKER_02 (02:05):
$30 to park in a place that I live.
I pay taxes.
SPEAKER_01 (02:11):
We paid tolls to get there.
SPEAKER_02 (02:12):
I paid tolls to get there, and yet they still got to
bleed me dry when I just park myvehicle.
I don't live on the beach, so Igot to bring my car.
SPEAKER_01 (02:21):
Right.
SPEAKER_02 (02:22):
It's insane.
With stuff.
SPEAKER_01 (02:23):
Yep.
SPEAKER_02 (02:24):
And it costs$30.
And that wasn't$30 for the wholeday.
That was$30 for three hours.
SPEAKER_01 (02:30):
Right.
SPEAKER_02 (02:30):
So we would have to go back out there, pay another
$30 if we wanted to stay.
Because we spent, what, four orfive hours there today.
So we would have had to pay$60for five hours.
SPEAKER_01 (02:41):
That's insane.
SPEAKER_02 (02:42):
That's a lot of money.
SPEAKER_01 (02:44):
But it doesn't make sense to me because it's not
consistent everywhere throughoutFlorida, at least on the Gulf
side that we've been to, whereyou pay for parking.
There's some that's freeparking.
There's some that's$5.
There's some that it justdepends on where you're going,
really.
But luckily, right down thestreet, there was a place that
it's only$5 for the whole day.
(03:05):
It doesn't make any sense.
And this place was nothing tobrag about.
It was literally like analleyway.
It was.
You have 30 parking spots, maybea bathroom, a little tent area.
But other than that, it wasn'tanything to brag about.
SPEAKER_02 (03:19):
They're charging you $30 for a toilet.
SPEAKER_01 (03:21):
Right?
I don't get it.
SPEAKER_02 (03:23):
It's not right.
SPEAKER_01 (03:24):
It's insane.
SPEAKER_02 (03:26):
I
SPEAKER_01 (03:26):
don't know if it's like a private thing.
I
SPEAKER_02 (03:29):
think it was a county parking lot.
But still, I think that'srobbery.
SPEAKER_01 (03:34):
I agree.
And the idea that it can bedifferent anywhere.
I
SPEAKER_02 (03:42):
almost wonder why they have to charge us as
residents, but why don't theyjust charge tourists?
Right.
Because they're spending moneyhere in the state, so they're
paying taxes and stuff, butthey're not...
Paying property tax in thecounty and all that stuff.
SPEAKER_01 (04:03):
Road, school.
SPEAKER_02 (04:04):
Yeah.
It's a scam.
I pay enough money already, soyou're just bleeding me dry.
SPEAKER_01 (04:11):
Yeah.
But it was fun, though.
SPEAKER_02 (04:15):
It was fun, and you got sunburned, so you're happy.
SPEAKER_01 (04:17):
I'm not happy I got sunburned.
I'm happy.
SPEAKER_02 (04:21):
You like getting burnt.
SPEAKER_01 (04:23):
No, I like going to the beach.
It's fun.
SPEAKER_02 (04:25):
It was fun.
SPEAKER_01 (04:26):
But also, earlier this month, there was 988 Day.
SPEAKER_02 (04:30):
Explain.
SPEAKER_01 (04:31):
It actually happened on September 8th.
And the correlation there,98898.
Wow.
988 is the suicide hotline.
So if you are feeling any sortof feelings, emotions that would
require such support, you call988 instead of 911.
And it would direct you topeople who could help you and
(04:53):
support you in those times.
I think for mental healthawareness, like this is big,
right?
Like this is something that it'sbeen around for a while but
something that educate people onlet them know it's there as a
resource like i think it'simportant
SPEAKER_02 (05:08):
yeah i i like the idea of 988 but why not why
can't you just call 9-1-1 andthey transfer you to you know
just keep it one same number
SPEAKER_01 (05:23):
I don't know.
SPEAKER_02 (05:24):
I'm just saying.
I like the idea.
I think it's smart.
I think it's easily rememberedand...
Pick up your phone, hit 988.
But I just wonder why anadditional.
SPEAKER_01 (05:36):
Well, I guess it's immediate help.
SPEAKER_02 (05:38):
So it was 911.
SPEAKER_01 (05:40):
Right.
But if they're having toredirect you to a specialist
therapist, someone, socialworker, somebody who has
expertise in those type ofdiscussions.
SPEAKER_02 (05:49):
I don't know.
I just find it weird because911, they take calls for like
crime and then they take callsfor people.
Dying?
So it's different.
They're redirecting you toeither police or the fire
department or whatever.
I
SPEAKER_01 (06:08):
don't know.
SPEAKER_02 (06:09):
I like it, though.
I do like it.
I'm just being cynical and kindof...
Your
SPEAKER_01 (06:16):
unfiltered opinion.
Congratulations.
SPEAKER_02 (06:19):
Welcome to the podcast.
I like that they're doing it,but I just think that it should
be blended into the numberthat's already recognizable
everywhere anyway.
I
SPEAKER_01 (06:28):
think that's just another resource.
I don't think it's in...
different or don't use this.
It's just another resource.
SPEAKER_02 (06:40):
We always talk about why they separate that kind of
health with mental health, eventhough it's all a combination.
SPEAKER_01 (06:49):
But now
SPEAKER_02 (06:50):
they're separating it again.
SPEAKER_01 (06:51):
Well, I think it's the idea of keeping
communication lines open, right?
If you have this problem, callthis.
If you have this problem, callthis.
If you have this problem, callthis.
I don't think that's a negativething to put buck and keep lines
open.
If somebody needs immediateassistance on their mental
health versus houses burningdown, why wouldn't you have two
(07:15):
lines?
SPEAKER_02 (07:16):
Because you don't have two lines for somebody's
robbing my house versus fire isburning down my house.
It should be one line.
That's all I'm saying.
SPEAKER_01 (07:28):
But I don't think that you can't call 911.
No, I
SPEAKER_02 (07:32):
know.
I just...
I don't know.
I'm done.
I just think I just once again,I feel like people are
separating mental illness fromother health things.
And I don't like that.
I like the idea that there's anadditional resource.
(07:52):
I don't like the idea thatthey're separating this stuff.
It's a part of life.
And you should call 9-1-1.
I mean, if you have a mentalhealth crisis, obviously call
988, but I'm just saying, I feellike it should be one thing
(08:13):
because it's already memorable.
They're teaching kids about itin school.
911.
They're probably doing 988 now,but I'm just saying, I just feel
like separating this stuff againis, is silly.
SPEAKER_01 (08:30):
Well, speaking of schools and 911, 988, all these
things.
Recently, across all the UnitedStates, there has been a social
media trend of kids.
It doesn't seem to just beteenagers in high school.
It's any age at this point areputting in either false tips or
(08:54):
tips in general related toactive shootings and or bombs
and or.
Things that are happening are,you know, all the things that we
pray and hope never happen toour kids in schools.
But they're putting in thesetips and it is causing what
happened recently in our Tampaarea is police department with
(09:17):
SWAT, with helicopters, with allthe resources they can pull.
It's
SPEAKER_02 (09:22):
costing thousands upon thousands of dollars and
man hours.
And you're pulling officers offof.
SPEAKER_01 (09:30):
Crime.
SPEAKER_02 (09:31):
Actual crime and causing them to waste time
instead of being out thereactually doing what they should
be doing.
But
SPEAKER_01 (09:41):
mind you, if it's a real threat, then I'm glad
they're taking it serious.
SPEAKER_02 (09:45):
No, I agree.
But when you come to find outit's not a threat, all those
people that were sent out there,SWAT team, helicopters, all
that, they could have beenpicking up somebody who got in a
car accident.
Right.
You know, airlifting someone oranything.
They could have stopped the bankrobbery.
(10:06):
I don't know.
I'm just saying.
UNKNOWN (10:09):
Yeah.
SPEAKER_02 (10:10):
These kids that are doing this shit, they need the
hammer laid on them.
SPEAKER_01 (10:16):
Well, hold on.
So it's across the UnitedStates.
It's not an isolated incident.
It's, you know, I have friendsin other parts of Florida that
are saying that's happeningthere, too.
I have friends in Virginia.
We have friends, you know,everywhere that is.
It's just widespread becausethese kids think.
They get famous?
I don't know what they'rethinking.
I think it's funny, I think.
(10:37):
Right, that they can get out ofschool, that they...
I don't know what they'rethinking, to be honest with you.
And I...
I really hope that they eitherget help or can fully grasp
their situation at some pointbecause it's insane that they
think that this is okay to do,that it's, I don't get it.
But the point I'm trying tomake, recently, one of the
(11:00):
sheriffs in Florida came out andsaid that from here forward, any
child in school who puts in oneof these tips and they are
found, they will be perp walkedin front of the media.
Uh, Their images will be postedonline as well as their parents'
images.
And their parents are going tohave to pay for these bills for
(11:23):
all of the sheriff's resourcesthat are being utilized in order
to investigate these things.
And essentially, you know, it'salmost like a walk of shame for
both the kid and the parents.
So...
I don't know how I feel aboutthis.
There's so many different thingsto this, and I want to talk it
(11:44):
out for a minute.
The idea of a kid being perpwalked, right?
If they're out to get famous,like if they think this is a
social media trend, I'll getfamous.
If I'm being if I'm caught, Idon't know.
I don't get it.
But if I'm going to get famous,well, if you give them a perp
(12:06):
walk, that's certainly going togive them some attention.
OK,
SPEAKER_02 (12:09):
but hopefully that perp walk isn't Hopefully it's a
perp walk to juvie or jail.
SPEAKER_01 (12:20):
I mean, everybody's innocent until proven guilty.
Oh, yeah,
SPEAKER_02 (12:23):
that's what I mean.
Because what this sheriff saidwas they're not going to perp
walk the parents because theparents didn't do it.
SPEAKER_01 (12:32):
Wow.
SPEAKER_02 (12:32):
But what they're
SPEAKER_01 (12:33):
going to do is
SPEAKER_02 (12:34):
they're going to call the media when they're
getting ready to send thisperson out, probably prior to
court, and their parents comepick them up.
They're going to record theparents coming to pick them up
and almost shame them.
Now, one thing that I don't.
really like, but I almost thinkit's necessary, is shaming the
(12:55):
parents.
Because sometimes these kids aredoing stuff that parents don't
have a clue or it's just random.
SPEAKER_01 (13:08):
Well, I want to stick with the kid for just a
second.
We'll come to the parents inanother moment.
But when it comes to the kids,the kids and perp walking them,
right?
I fully believe that if you canmake a threat like this, then
you need to be tried, acted asan adult.
SPEAKER_02 (13:28):
Yeah, you're playing stupid games.
SPEAKER_01 (13:31):
Fafo.
Yeah, you
SPEAKER_02 (13:32):
are 100% fafo.
SPEAKER_01 (13:33):
Yep, you are fucking around.
You are about to find out.
SPEAKER_02 (13:36):
Yep.
SPEAKER_01 (13:37):
So I 100% agree with every action that you can take
against the kid who is makingthese kind of accusations,
whether they are real or not.
Right.
Right.
(14:12):
If you don't know that yourchild is either on some online
platform making these kind ofthreats or literally seriously
has some problem within themthat they are legitimately going
to carry this out.
There's signs, right?
SPEAKER_03 (14:29):
Oh, yeah.
SPEAKER_01 (14:30):
There's always signs.
Then the parents need to be heldresponsible to some extent, some
degree.
I don't know what that is, but.
SPEAKER_02 (14:38):
I don't know.
I don't know how you can holdsomebody who didn't do anything
responsible.
SPEAKER_01 (14:44):
They
SPEAKER_02 (14:45):
didn't do it.
SPEAKER_01 (14:45):
Well, I guess if you're trying them as an adult,
they are no longer a minor.
But I was going to say they're aminor, so you would hold the
parents responsible.
But if you're trying them as anadult, then they're no longer a
minor.
SPEAKER_02 (14:55):
I do think that they should go after them financially
for the bill, for sure.
Because that's resources thatother taxpayers are having to
pay.
And your kid did it.
But...
I don't know what else you cando to them.
They didn't do it.
(15:15):
I mean, did your parents knowyou went on chat rooms and stuff
as a kid?
SPEAKER_01 (15:22):
Every 90s kid.
I'm
SPEAKER_02 (15:23):
serious.
Did they know that kind ofstuff?
What happened in them chat roomsand everything?
No.
But that's the thing.
It's like they didn't know.
They just trusted you.
Maybe the parents trusted theirkid.
They had no idea this kid had asinister side.
Sometimes that stuff just popsout.
(15:44):
They go to school, especiallyhigh school, and they get
involved with the wrong people.
That happens.
SPEAKER_01 (15:51):
It does.
SPEAKER_02 (15:52):
Yeah.
And they change.
And maybe you don't see it athome.
SPEAKER_01 (15:58):
Maybe.
I
SPEAKER_02 (15:58):
just have a really hard time with it.
SPEAKER_01 (16:01):
I agree, but I definitely think they need to be
tried as adults.
And I honestly have a hard timesaying even that because I guess
there's 11-year-olds who havebeen arrested.
Like, how do you put an11-year-old through an adult
trial, an adult jail?
Like, oh my God.
(16:22):
It
SPEAKER_02 (16:22):
hurts me.
SPEAKER_01 (16:24):
Me too.
It
SPEAKER_02 (16:24):
hurts me, but you are...
Playing a really stupid game.
SPEAKER_01 (16:29):
And their brains aren't fully developed.
It's like it's it is so hard toknow what the right thing is.
But our
SPEAKER_02 (16:38):
kid is younger than 11.
SPEAKER_01 (16:40):
Mm hmm.
SPEAKER_02 (16:41):
And she would never do that.
SPEAKER_01 (16:43):
You can't say that.
SPEAKER_02 (16:44):
I know.
Well, that's true.
But based on what I know, shewouldn't do that.
SPEAKER_01 (16:50):
You can't say that.
I know it's hard to think, butwe can't.
Nobody can say that.
Right.
You can't say that about anybodyyou know.
that they would never dosomething like that.
You don't know what anyone iscapable of, what goes on in
their head.
And I think this is where I kindof wanted to bring in the idea
of 988 is mental health matters,right?
(17:11):
A lot of these kids who aregoing through these things and
either one, they think thatthey're going to get famous,
that they would never really doit or two, they're really going
to do it.
Like that's a mental healthcrisis.
I can't imagine what is goingthrough their head if they think
that they have to take thataction or if they think they're
(17:32):
going to get famous like whatattention are you not getting or
that you're seeking right so I
SPEAKER_02 (17:38):
you think some kid calling a school and saying a
threat like that is a mentalthing
SPEAKER_01 (17:46):
I think there is some mental aspect to it.
Absolutely.
If they're really going to carryit out, then that's that is a
mental health crisis that youfeel like that is your only way
to deal with this situation.
SPEAKER_02 (17:58):
Oh, for sure.
I think people are crazy,though.
SPEAKER_01 (18:02):
But for the people who are just doing it because
they think they're going to getfamous.
SPEAKER_02 (18:05):
I don't think that's a mental thing.
SPEAKER_01 (18:08):
Well, you can almost argue it, though, right?
Because social media, if youfeel so much pressure on social
media.
Maybe you shouldn't have it.
Maybe you're not mentallyprepared for it.
I
SPEAKER_02 (18:21):
think it's kind of interesting that a lot of these
local governments and stuff areconsidering and have enacted
bans on minors using socialmedia.
SPEAKER_01 (18:31):
I don't know how you validate that, but I almost
agree at this point.
I
SPEAKER_02 (18:36):
know.
I do, too, because it's likethey're being exposed to things.
Yeah.
Right.
(18:59):
It's going to be hard to fakethat.
I mean, everything else you doonline, you got to do an ID.
Like if you want to buy Bitcoin,you got to do IDs or whatever.
So why not do that with socialmedia?
Clearly, This country is goingthrough a weird phase of young
people feeling like they got toact out.
And I am about 95% sure a lot ofit has to do with social media.
SPEAKER_01 (19:23):
Oh, 100%.
Because they see somebody
SPEAKER_02 (19:25):
doing something.
I mean, look, these fuckingpeople were eating Tide Pods.
Didn't you just...
You told me yesterday or the daybefore the kids are eating
straws.
SPEAKER_01 (19:35):
Yeah, to save the turtles.
Yep.
Why?
I mean, that could be a fakenews line, but...
Yeah, the kids are eating strawsto save the turtles.
SPEAKER_02 (19:45):
Yeah, straws aren't good for you.
Don't
SPEAKER_01 (19:48):
do that.
Nope, same with Tide Pods.
SPEAKER_02 (19:51):
So I just feel like this social media thing is just
clearly...
I mean, not everybody, but a lotof people are not responsible
enough to have it.
SPEAKER_01 (20:00):
I agree.
SPEAKER_02 (20:01):
So shut
SPEAKER_01 (20:02):
it off.
If you're not mentally developedenough to be able to handle
social media...
The pressures of it, the ideasthat these kids, you know, can
get famous quick or get richquick on social media.
It's insane.
Like, I don't know.
There's something that's got tobe done.
SPEAKER_02 (20:24):
Yeah, it's it's no good.
UNKNOWN (20:28):
Yeah.
SPEAKER_02 (20:28):
We're going down a bad, bad path with our young
generations, and it's not good.
It scares me.
I do, too.
SPEAKER_01 (20:36):
So bad.
SPEAKER_02 (20:37):
The fact that these kids in our Tampa area, they
were forced to turn the entireschool, turn their lights off,
shut their lights off.
announced you know essentiallyyou need to hide
SPEAKER_03 (20:54):
these
SPEAKER_02 (20:55):
kids are in class and you need to hide and then
red lights were blinking intheir classrooms they were under
their desks crowded in a cornercowering in fear and All of a
sudden, helicopters show up.
SWAT team shows up.
(21:15):
They then send police squads toeach classroom, take all the
kids out to the gym, metaldetect them, and then yank their
bags open and check every singlebag.
Why would anybody want to sendtheir kid to public schools
SPEAKER_01 (21:34):
now?
I have no idea.
I really don't.
It's...
I can't imagine what parentswent through that day.
SPEAKER_02 (21:41):
Oh, well, yeah.
My biggest concern is someonecalling something like that in,
getting all the attention oversomewhere else and doing
something somewhere else.
It's terrifying to
SPEAKER_01 (21:57):
me.
Absolutely.
Because it did.
There was multiple schools thatthis happened with across
multiple counties across thewhole United States.
So it's like, Oh, God.
SPEAKER_02 (22:08):
It makes me angry because these kids are just
trying to go to school andyou're trying to teach them and
make sure they're not, don'tgrow up to be uneducated.
SPEAKER_01 (22:20):
Right.
You want smart kids and socialkids.
SPEAKER_02 (22:24):
Yeah, but then you have to worry about your kid not
coming home that day because ofsome random threat that's been
dropped and Now your kids heldthere.
They can't move.
You can't go pick them up.
They won't let anybody near thatplace.
SPEAKER_01 (22:42):
Not on campus.
Nope.
There was parents parking acrossthe street because they weren't
allowed on campus.
And yeah, I can't imagine.
I mean,
SPEAKER_02 (22:51):
how helpless would you feel?
SPEAKER_01 (22:54):
Because we're in Tampa.
The Hillsborough CountySheriff's Department is the one
that responded and they didamazing.
They did.
They did.
I mean, they responded to a lot.
It sounded like that day wasmultiple places, but they did an
amazing job keeping everybodysafe, doing what they could to
keep everybody in the know, butI can't imagine what parents
(23:15):
went through that day and I wantto homeschool.
SPEAKER_02 (23:18):
Yeah, it's nuts that you have to worry about that.
The world is going to shit.
And it makes me sad.
SPEAKER_01 (23:28):
That's heavy.
SPEAKER_02 (23:29):
It is.
Now let's switch gears here.
SPEAKER_01 (23:32):
Well, I mean, I still want to talk about the
police for a second.
Did you see where they attemptedto arrest Tyreek Hill from the
Miami Dolphins football player?
SPEAKER_02 (23:40):
Yeah, I did.
SPEAKER_01 (23:41):
Did you see that he got arrested at noon and was at
the game at 3 p.m.?
SPEAKER_02 (23:45):
Yeah, and then he pretended to get arrested when
he...
Didn't he score a touchdown orsomething?
SPEAKER_01 (23:49):
I think so.
And
SPEAKER_02 (23:50):
he pretended to get arrested.
I thought that was funny ashell.
SPEAKER_01 (23:54):
That was awesome.
You know they were...
were dolphins fans the thesheriffs that arrested him they
were dolphins fans like
SPEAKER_02 (24:02):
why
SPEAKER_01 (24:03):
because they let him go
SPEAKER_02 (24:04):
oh yeah yeah yeah for
SPEAKER_01 (24:06):
sure either that he has a really good lawyer i
SPEAKER_02 (24:09):
mean he's got money he can pay bail and all that but
you know i don't i don't knowwhat they charged him with i
didn't really dig a whole lotinto that story because
SPEAKER_01 (24:18):
he was it was hilarious
SPEAKER_02 (24:20):
he went to that game like the same day so
SPEAKER_01 (24:24):

SPEAKER_02 (24:25):

SPEAKER_01 (24:26):

SPEAKER_02 (24:28):
It is Florida.
Everybody's used to this kind ofcraziness.
SPEAKER_01 (24:32):

They just had their big event.
It's
SPEAKER_02 (24:37):
glow time.
SPEAKER_01 (24:38):

That whole thing.
I don't get it, but okay.
So their big reveal
SPEAKER_02 (24:45):
new button
SPEAKER_01 (24:46):
was a button
SPEAKER_02 (24:47):

SPEAKER_01 (24:49):
It's like
SPEAKER_02 (24:50):
a touch thing at the top of the phone.
That's a camera or I don't know.
It's some kind of weird camerabutton that feels like a button
but it's not you push it it hashaptic feedback i'm like man

I'm not saying it's a bad thing.
It's a button, but it's not abutton.
He couldn't find the button.
Okay.

Okay.
You and I started talking aboutthis and we put it on pause
because we wanted to talk aboutit here.
SPEAKER_03 (26:17):
Right.
SPEAKER_01 (26:18):
The idea that Apple came up with a button that's not
a button as their big reveal islike that.
SPEAKER_03 (26:28):
That's it?
SPEAKER_01 (26:29):
That's it.
That's it.
SPEAKER_03 (26:31):
Right.
SPEAKER_01 (26:31):
That's it.
Like, back in the early 2000s,it was, bam, new phone.
Bam, new features.
Right.
It was
SPEAKER_02 (26:39):
big features, like feature drops, you know, way
better cameras, Siri, all thatstuff.
SPEAKER_01 (26:47):
Right.
And now it just feels, it's abutton, but it's not a button.
SPEAKER_03 (26:51):
Yeah.
SPEAKER_01 (26:52):
So, is it...
what is the next phase of thesmartphone then if apple can't
come up with anything new rightlike they are the innovators in
my opinion i mean you've gotsamsung you've got you know some
of the other phones that are outthere but it feels like we're
almost on repeat with a lot ofthese because you've now got a
phone that can fold right you'vegot a phone that can
SPEAKER_02 (27:13):
yeah i think that was intended to be like the next
phase of smartphone but I don'tthink people want a bigger
phone.
They're already big.
SPEAKER_01 (27:24):
Uh-huh.
SPEAKER_02 (27:25):
And they're not real rugged yet, those foldables.
They're kind of...
You got to kind of baby them alittle bit because if dust gets
in the hinge, it gets all jackedup.
Your inside screen can crackreal easy.
SPEAKER_01 (27:39):
I can't take that to the beach.
SPEAKER_02 (27:40):
No, no, no.
But it got me thinking, too,about the next phase.
Like, I don't think thefoldables are it.
I think it's wearables likeaugmented reality wearables
like.
SPEAKER_01 (27:54):
But then that's not a smartphone, right?
Yeah.
So are we seeing the age of thesmartphone is over?
I
SPEAKER_02 (27:59):
think it's coming.
None of this.
none of this is innovativeanymore
SPEAKER_01 (28:05):
right
SPEAKER_02 (28:06):
it doesn't like I used to want to upgrade my phone
every single time because it waslike what I gotta have that
feature but now I'm like
SPEAKER_01 (28:17):
you've got a case up shiny
SPEAKER_02 (28:19):
but there was reasons to
SPEAKER_01 (28:21):
for it
SPEAKER_02 (28:22):
it wasn't just that's a new one I want to get
it it was
SPEAKER_01 (28:25):
99% of the time it was that I
SPEAKER_02 (28:27):
don't have Siri so I want to get Siri or whatever But
now I got a button.
SPEAKER_01 (28:35):
That's not a button, and I gotta find it.
SPEAKER_02 (28:38):
I push it, and it pretends to click, but the phone
just vibrates.
SPEAKER_01 (28:43):
I can't.
SPEAKER_02 (28:44):
I think that the next phase is like...
The
SPEAKER_01 (28:47):
phone fakes it, babe.
SPEAKER_02 (28:49):
Like glasses.
You're tripping.
You need to go to bed.
I think glasses with aninterface built in, mics in the
arms of the glasses, all that isgonna be the next phase.
SPEAKER_01 (29:03):
Yeah.
Well, okay, so we always talkabout this, right?
Like we've said this many timesthroughout our technology lives,
right?
That they always pre-flighttechnology and then they refine
it until it gets to be somethingthat is like, we've had
autonomous driving for a longtime.
You think about the cruisecontrol, you think about lane
(29:26):
assist, you think about like allthese, the sensors that are on a
vehicle.
Like you think of all thesethings that have been out there
for a while.
It's like, It's been testing tolead up to us
SPEAKER_02 (29:38):
combining it all together.
SPEAKER_01 (29:39):
Exactly.
Into the next technology.
So autonomous driving, you haveall these pieces, right?
Same thing.
I think that we've been buildingup to what you're saying is the
next phase of technology ofwearables.
You have Oculus Rift, right?
You've got the, they do have
SPEAKER_02 (29:57):
Oculus Quest, but yes.
SPEAKER_01 (29:59):
Excuse me.
UNKNOWN (30:02):
Yeah.
SPEAKER_01 (30:02):
You have glasses that have the microphones in
them already in the camera.
You've got you know, so it'slike we've we're always building
up towards the next
SPEAKER_02 (30:11):
phase.
(30:32):
Apple Vision Pro, it can beaugmented reality.
It's not just like a game thatyou're playing inside of this
headset.
It is using your outerenvironment to show you
information.
Like you can sit in a room andwatch tv on the wall a huge
(30:56):
screen on your wall right butthe screen's not really there
it's just here right so i thinkshrinking that down and putting
that kind of feature within likean interface like your glasses
like what how cool would it beif you're driving down the road
And you have GPS like it doesn'treally mess with your vision,
(31:19):
but you have GPS on your glassesso you can see it.
It shows you like a see-throughoverlay that's like, all right,
you need to get over to theright lane.
Because GPS is shit like that.
SPEAKER_01 (31:31):
Right.
You're like, oh, my God, I gotto turn here.
I know.
And we did that earlier.
Yes.
North towards Tampa, southtowards St.
Pete.
SPEAKER_02 (31:41):
Went the wrong way.
But I do think that that's thefuture because.
And I don't I mean, I don't knowhow you really interact with it
yet.
I know the Apple Vision Pro, youcan actually use your eyes to
scroll and stuff.
It's creepy.
SPEAKER_01 (31:55):
Yeah.
SPEAKER_02 (31:56):
But like, how do you type?
Because I don't want to be Idon't want to say things out
loud.
SPEAKER_01 (32:01):
You could type with your eyes too.
A lot of paraplegics do that.
SPEAKER_02 (32:05):
Well, then maybe they pull that in there.
So that's, they pulled inparaplegics and, and use the
technology like blind spotmonitoring and stuff.
SPEAKER_01 (32:15):
Yeah.
I mean, seriously, we talk aboutit all the time.
It's, it's out there.
They just start to accumulateand creates the next phase.
SPEAKER_02 (32:22):
But I think that Apple one is the best example of
the, combining things together.
SPEAKER_01 (32:30):
So we think the age of the smartphone's over?
SPEAKER_02 (32:32):
It's coming, I think.
That's
SPEAKER_01 (32:35):
crazy.
SPEAKER_02 (32:36):
All the smartphone things now are always
software-based.
SPEAKER_01 (32:43):
Right.
SPEAKER_02 (32:43):
The upgrades.
And it's like, well, upgrade theone that I have.
And clearly they don't want todo that because they want you to
buy the new one.
SPEAKER_01 (32:49):
Right.
Always.
SPEAKER_02 (32:51):
But why?
Yep.
Especially with this AI stuffthat, like Google Pixel, they
have put AI at the front andcenter of almost everything they
do.
including their their phones andA lot of this stuff is offloaded
to the cloud.
So anything can run that shit.
You know what I mean?
SPEAKER_01 (33:11):
Uh-huh.
You're saying lots of words.
SPEAKER_02 (33:13):
Yeah.
I'm saying that your phoneprocessor speed and RAM, all
that stuff doesn't matterbecause you're sending, like if
you want to do a photo edit thatuses AI, it sends to the cloud.
SPEAKER_01 (33:25):
Right.
SPEAKER_02 (33:26):
It does it on their servers.
SPEAKER_01 (33:27):
What's the cloud?
SPEAKER_02 (33:29):
It's over here.
UNKNOWN (33:31):
Okay.
SPEAKER_02 (33:31):
Ask Kamala.
SPEAKER_01 (33:33):
Oh, I'm so sick of politics.
Not today.
SPEAKER_02 (33:36):
Yeah, no, we have to talk about that.
SPEAKER_01 (33:37):
No, we are not.
I do not want to talk aboutTrump.
I do not want to talk aboutKamala.
SPEAKER_02 (33:42):
I did enjoy that debate, though.
SPEAKER_01 (33:44):
No politics today, please.
I am already so sick of it.
And we have a long way to gountil November.
SPEAKER_02 (33:50):
We do.
But it'll be here before youknow it.
SPEAKER_01 (33:53):
It's going to be crazy.
SPEAKER_02 (33:54):
We don't have live TV in this house, so we don't
really see a lot of thecommercials.
So that's good.
SPEAKER_01 (33:59):
No, I refuse.
Every now and then when we'rewatching YouTube, maybe, but no.
But did you hear about theAmazon driver who was so drunk?
And I'm wondering if this is afake headline, but it made me
laugh so hard I had to share it.
There was an Amazon driver.
He was so drunk that he wasdriving on sidewalks.
(34:24):
He actually then drove intosomeone's house to deliver a
package.
SPEAKER_02 (34:28):
He drove into?
SPEAKER_01 (34:28):
Into the house.
SPEAKER_02 (34:30):
He thought it was a drive-thru.
SPEAKER_01 (34:31):
Into.
Yep.
Into.
And when he was gettingarrested, he actually had a note
written already that said, I candrive lit, bro.
It says it right here.
Oh,
SPEAKER_02 (34:43):
my God.
This has to be in Florida.
SPEAKER_01 (34:46):
I was thinking the exact same thing, but there was
no palm trees in the video.
SPEAKER_02 (34:49):
Dang
SPEAKER_01 (34:50):
it.
I don't even know if it's real,but I laughed so hard.
I can drive.
I've lit, bro.
SPEAKER_02 (34:55):
I mean, some people can.
No.
It doesn't mean they should.
SPEAKER_01 (34:58):
No, nobody can.
Nobody can.
They think they can.
SPEAKER_02 (35:01):
Oh, yeah, that's true.
SPEAKER_01 (35:02):
They think they can.
Well, clearly.
Nobody can.
He
SPEAKER_02 (35:04):
can't because he was driving on sidewalks.
SPEAKER_01 (35:06):
Right.
And
SPEAKER_02 (35:07):
he drove into somebody's house.
SPEAKER_01 (35:08):
Right.
He was just parking.
He was just parking.
SPEAKER_02 (35:11):
Yeah.
SPEAKER_01 (35:12):
That's convenient.
Okay.
Last thing I want to talk about.
Now, this is more into marriagetype things.
I think this is a very importantthing that needs to happen
between couples that havedecided to get married, right?
If you get engaged, one of thethings you start talking about
(35:32):
besides a date for your weddingand who you're going to invite
needs to be whether or not yousmash cake.
SPEAKER_02 (35:40):
What, you mean like in each other's face?
SPEAKER_01 (35:42):
Yes.
So at most wedding ceremonieshere in America, you take a
piece of cake and you feed eachother, right?
Yeah, but that
SPEAKER_02 (35:51):
turns violent.
SPEAKER_01 (35:53):
In some relationships.
SPEAKER_02 (35:55):
I saw a video of this just recently.
SPEAKER_01 (35:57):
I know.
Oh, did you see it?
I saw a video recently, too.
He grabbed her head and
SPEAKER_02 (36:01):
smashed it in.
SPEAKER_01 (36:02):
I would...
SPEAKER_02 (36:04):
Oh, no, I would kill...
That made me mad.
That was way overboard.
The cake was...
From her
SPEAKER_01 (36:11):
forehead
SPEAKER_02 (36:12):
to her, you know, ponytail or however she did her
hair.
It was on her whole top of herhead.
SPEAKER_01 (36:19):
So this needs to be a discussion.
I'd
SPEAKER_02 (36:22):
have been like, give me that marriage certificate
before you sign it and rip itup.
SPEAKER_01 (36:26):
This is something that every couple and we have a
couple.
I have a cousin and a friendwho's getting married next year.
I'm going to tell them this.
This is my only advice beforeyou get married.
Make sure that you speak withyour soon-to-be spouse and you
guys describe how you would likethe cake smashing to go.
SPEAKER_02 (36:47):
Yeah, you told me not to do it too hard, but you
have to do a little bit.
SPEAKER_01 (36:53):
Well, for me, I spent money on hair and makeup,
probably way too much money onhair and makeup for our wedding.
But yeah, I wanted it.
And I did tell you, please don'tmess up my makeup.
That was the only thing I
SPEAKER_02 (37:09):
asked.
I just did a little bit aroundyour mouth.
SPEAKER_01 (37:11):
Right.
Same.
Yeah.
You started to go for it, andthen I actually kind of
strong-armed into your
SPEAKER_02 (37:18):
mouth.
Yeah, that one video, though, hegrabbed her head and pushed it
into the cake.
He didn't even pick a piece up.
SPEAKER_01 (37:24):
There's a lot like that.
SPEAKER_02 (37:25):
It was the whole cake.
I was like, dude, that's kind ofdangerous, too.
There's structure to these cakessometimes.
They hold them together withshit.
SPEAKER_01 (37:37):
Yep.
post like there's a little postin there sometimes we had
candles around ours yeah
SPEAKER_02 (37:43):

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
