Speaker 1 (00:04):
This is the Unfiltered Union, and I'm Russ.
Speaker 2 (00:08):
Here is this week's episode.
Speaker 1 (00:14):
You know, almost every single time we do a podcast,
I make fun of you for sunburn. I can't make
fun of you this time.
Speaker 2 (00:21):
Yeah, because you too.
Speaker 1 (00:23):
Ha I got wrecked yesterday. Huh badly?
Speaker 3 (00:27):
It is yeah, painful, it hurts.
Speaker 1 (00:30):
It hurts real bad. It hurts so bad that Solar
Recover is struggling to keep up.
Speaker 2 (00:38):
It's just my face. I got the raccoonize again, but
yours is like your whole body.
Speaker 1 (00:42):
Yeah, I don't outside it is awful outside.
Speaker 2 (00:47):
Well, I mean, mother nature does some crazy things. Inter
Helene and Milton.
Speaker 1 (00:53):
Helene, Helen. I still stand by Helen.
Speaker 2 (00:56):
You say so, But it just feels like this is
probable the first weekend that we've had that's kind of normal.
Speaker 1 (01:03):
Yeah, since all the hurricanes. Yeah, oh, I agree, because
it's been non stop. We've had trash build up in
our house because there's no trash service out here. They
finally restarted it, but now they paused it again because
they're getting overflowed with yard debrice debris and it's crazy. Yeah.
(01:28):
The city of Tampa just stopped recycling service and I
believe they did stop residential trash service for now.
Speaker 2 (01:36):
Crazy.
Speaker 1 (01:37):
Yeah, our our garage smelled like.
Speaker 2 (01:41):
Old food, don't want to trash.
Speaker 1 (01:45):
It was nasty. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (01:46):
But even driving around when we would go to we
shop at al d for our groceries exactly twished.
Speaker 1 (01:54):
Your own bags in a quarter. Yeah, that's that's a nightmare.
Speaker 2 (02:00):
Quarters at Aldi are the bane of my shopping existence.
Speaker 1 (02:04):
We went yesterday and we lost our trustee quarter.
Speaker 2 (02:08):
We dig through our car to try and find a
freaking quarter.
Speaker 1 (02:12):
It took us twenty minutes of our Aldi trip to
find a quata just so we could get a cart.
Speaker 2 (02:19):
Well anyways, but driving to and from Aldi, we go
through places that are near the river and by the river.
Down by the river, it sound like Chris Farley. There
was debris and people's houses flooded so all their furniture
was on the curb side for after Helene, right well
(02:39):
after Milton and where double like it's double now. The
amount of debris, the amount of things that are now
at the curb, it's crazy. And like you said, Hillsborough
County is struggling to keep up with all of it.
So it's just a it's a mess out here.
Speaker 1 (02:56):
Yeah, and just to be clear here, Hillsboro County is
what is in Tampa is in Hillsboro County. It's insane.
It's definitely. That was the worst one we've had since
we've been here.
Speaker 2 (03:10):
And we were here for Ian too, and Ian was Cat.
Speaker 1 (03:14):
Five upon landfall, but we got lucky. Unfortunately for other
people down in Fort Myers, it veered south at the
last second. It was supposed to hit us head on
the in burial grounds. Man, oh yeah, keep it coming. Well,
it kind of did the same thing for this one,
but a little bit closer to our disadvantage. We were
in the northern eyewall where we live, which is where
(03:37):
the highest winds and rains are, and that it was.
It was dicey. I'm not gonna lie. It scared the
shit out of me. I couldn't sleep. I went to
bed finally at about five am after the majority of
it passed us. But it was it was It's like
a tornado that doesn't stop after thirty seconds, right.
Speaker 2 (04:01):
It was it's ours watch the house literally like breathe.
Speaker 1 (04:06):
Yeah. We have sliding doors in our neighborhood that are
in our back backyards and they're big sliding doors and
that thing was flex and I was I swore that
was going to break that crazy. I swore it was
gonna shif Yeah. And then the problem with with windows
breaking is then your your your house gets essentially pressurized
(04:31):
from the inside and then they can blow your roof off.
So that was a big concern for me.
Speaker 2 (04:36):
Yeah, it was definitely definitely crazy. But on top of
it all, we watched Dennis Phillips. I can't say enough
about him as the local weathermen, like just keeping a
sane and aware and not freaking out. Well number seven I.
Speaker 1 (04:56):
Was still freaking out.
Speaker 3 (04:57):
Well.
Speaker 1 (04:57):
I mean, the problem with hurricanes is you know they're coming.
Speaker 2 (05:00):
Right, But that's also a good thing. That's also the benefit.
Speaker 1 (05:04):
Yeah, but if you're gonna hunker down like we did,
you're like, okay, God, just hurry up, please, dear god.
H did you say it was like getting stalked by
a turtle.
Speaker 2 (05:14):
Yes, that's what Dennis Phillips says. I love him. He
keeps me saying during those moments of the news, drawing
it out, sensationalizing it, and everybody's gonna so he gives
us the reel of it. Right, We're gonna be in
the northern eyewall, there's gonna be the fastest wins probably
the most damage to houses. Like he gives you the
(05:35):
reel of it, but he doesn't make you freak out.
So I appreciate him.
Speaker 1 (05:40):
I was, I'm not gonna lie. Though he got a
little it seemed like he got you're right. Yeah he did.
He said, he was like, don't freak out. He said,
now's not the time to freak out. It's the time
for action. I was like, what does that mean? Run?
But the problem with running you couldn't. There was no gas.
(06:01):
There was gridlock, traffic. People were running out of gas
on I seventy five to get out of Tampa and
go north. YEP. People were trying to go to Orlando
on I four. On I four gridlock and then there's
just no gas anywhere. We're still recovering from the gas shortage.
Now we're trying to get like stability in our gas system.
Speaker 2 (06:26):
Making that last quarter of a tank.
Speaker 1 (06:28):
Oh you're in. Yeah you just if you have an
EV you kind of made out a little bit unless
it got flooded and caught fire.
Speaker 2 (06:36):
Yeah that okay.
Speaker 1 (06:40):
Well, I mean EV is kind of a It kind
of lends to one of our topics. I don't know
if we're gonna.
Speaker 2 (06:45):
Not there yet.
Speaker 1 (06:45):
Come on, he was trying to segue.
Speaker 2 (06:48):
He tried it was cute.
Speaker 1 (06:50):
I'm not good at this.
Speaker 2 (06:52):
So we had the kids out for nine days out
of school. I think when we lived in Virginia, the
longest kids were out of school was probably close to
a month. If you think back to what was it
two thousand and ten, March twenty ten, the big blizzard. Yeah,
that one put kids out of school for multiple weeks.
(07:14):
I would say almost maybe two or three, close to
a month. And these kids were out for nine days
for this hurricane. And then they.
Speaker 1 (07:24):
Had nips in this shirt. Sorry, keep going.
Speaker 2 (07:31):
Then they had what three or four days for Helene.
So hurricane days are real down here.
Speaker 1 (07:38):
Yeah, it's been over two weeks for the kids here.
It's crazy, and they the parents are losing their minds.
Like we have Facebook neighborhood groups and all the parents
are like, these kids are going back, could somebody watch
my children?
Speaker 2 (07:54):
Well, everybody's like put the kids to work, Put the kids.
Speaker 1 (07:56):
To work, go pick up all the yard stuff everywhere.
Speaker 2 (08:00):
Which seriously, I had to tell myself at one point
that it's a marathon. It is not, you know, a
quick one hundred yard dash to get all this debris
picked up, although some of our neighbors did it that quickly,
which good on them. But gosh.
Speaker 1 (08:12):
But the funny part though, is they picked it up,
but it's sitting in front of their house now waiting
to be picked up. Picked up.
Speaker 2 (08:18):
Yeah, because of all the debris.
Speaker 1 (08:20):
As you Yeah, yes, I'm fancy and I'm French.
Speaker 2 (08:25):
But did you see that the stingrays had to actually
go back to the Tampa aquarium that were.
Speaker 1 (08:30):
In the I'm not surprised the roof got ripped off.
Speaker 2 (08:34):
Uh huh. So the Tampa Race, Tampa.
Speaker 1 (08:38):
Bay Race, TA Stadium at.
Speaker 2 (08:40):
Tropic Cana Stadium, they actually have a stingray tank that
you can actually have your kids go touch stingrays while
at the game. It's really cool. But the poor things
had to get moved because the whole roof of the
Tropicana got ripped off during Milton. It was scary.
Speaker 1 (08:58):
I wonder what they were thinking, God, what is that?
Speaker 2 (09:03):
There's probably more well other than being in a small tank,
but they're probably more used to it than us because
I don't know, in the ocean. I don't know is
it safer underwater. You think during a hurricane in.
Speaker 1 (09:14):
The ocean, I would think, so that's not where the
wind is.
Speaker 2 (09:18):
True, But if it floods, you're a fish anyways.
Speaker 1 (09:21):
Yeah, you can breathe, But but does it swirl in there?
Like that's what I'm saying, a reverse you know, the
whirlpools that people see and get sucked into. Is it
reverse for them? They get sucked into the air sharknado?
That would be kind.
Speaker 2 (09:35):
We talked to our cousin about that before it happened.
Speaker 1 (09:37):
We did it. We did. She was making fun of
us because we're getting ready, not making fun of us,
but saying, you're gonna have sharknado. And then we were like, well,
where you live, people are eating cats. So oh yeah yeah.
Speaker 2 (09:51):
AnyWho, during all of this, we have, you know, again,
get it together.
Speaker 1 (09:58):
I can't.
Speaker 2 (09:59):
We have family member burst up north who live in Virginia, Pennsylvania, Ohio,
all the places right, well, why we're going through Hurricane Milton.
They're all posting pictures of the northern lights that reached
all the way down to Mid America. Yeah, and we're
over here like hi, Nadine high oscars that.
Speaker 1 (10:19):
You right, it's don't. We have two developing, but they're
not going to hit us.
Speaker 2 (10:25):
I don't think they're gonna They're in the Atlantic and
one of them is probably gonna cross the Pacific.
Speaker 1 (10:30):
But yeah, I thought one was going like through South
America and crossing over to the Pacific, and then they's.
Speaker 2 (10:36):
Gonna bounce off the Bahamas and like go back into
the Atlantic. And I'm good, gritty, but that's the cold Front.
Speaker 1 (10:44):
I think they're controlling the weather. For sure.
Speaker 3 (10:46):
We are not going there.
Speaker 2 (10:47):
I do that we're not going there.
Speaker 1 (10:48):
There's weather control like cloud seating devices out there that
have been patented and all that stuff. I think I
do believe that there are some form of control like
cloud seating and what is that camtrails all that stuff.
Do you ever when we're flying on an airplane, do
(11:10):
you see that stuff coming out the sides of that thing? No?
Come on, now, you good?
Speaker 2 (11:15):
No?
Speaker 1 (11:15):
Okay, I gotta talk all day about this.
Speaker 2 (11:18):
But now that things are starting to really feel slightly
back to normal this weekend, we went to a pumpkin
patch this today.
Speaker 1 (11:26):
It was cool.
Speaker 2 (11:27):
Yeah, that's not where we got the sunburn from sunburn
was actually yesterday during soccer, but.
Speaker 1 (11:32):
It was The weird thing is it was like seventy
degrees outside and it was cold. It's cold for Floridians. Yeah,
and we're all out there not I mean, I've got
shorts on.
Speaker 2 (11:43):
You.
Speaker 1 (11:43):
Yeah, we had shorts on, but it was windy, so
you couldn't feel the sun on your skin. And then
you got home and then you looked at yourself and
you're like, ow, it was a delayed reaction.
Speaker 2 (11:55):
But now that we're, you know again, getting back to
kind of normal. We went to a pumpkin patch and
there's red tide out there.
Speaker 1 (12:02):
Yeah, the beaches are closed. Plus you got to give this,
give give space to the people that actually lived there. Help,
you know, don't don't pollute their area with traffic and
people trash. Let them kind of get back to to
to their normal.
Speaker 2 (12:19):
Absolutely, let them get back to our Florida strong.
Speaker 1 (12:23):
That's right. It's kind of cool. Though. I will say
that Florida does come together after something like this because
this was a major, major hurricane. Like people, I'm pretty
sure there's quite a few people that have died.
Speaker 2 (12:39):
And have been displaced and have lost everything.
Speaker 1 (12:42):
And billions of dollars of damage.
Speaker 2 (12:45):
We we're lucky with what we got through, how we
got through this hurricane certainly lucky compared to many who
lost everything. Right, So our hearts go out to them,
for sure, And like Jennis.
Speaker 1 (12:59):
Villa said, Lord Strong, Yeah, for sure.
Speaker 2 (13:02):
We'll keep going. Okay, switching topics, right.
Speaker 1 (13:05):
Yeah, I know, I thought we were supposed to be
a comedy podcast. We laugh a lot at ourselves. Nobody
else does.
Speaker 2 (13:14):
Somebody does because somebody's out there laughing.
Speaker 1 (13:18):
They're laughing at us, wasting our time.
Speaker 2 (13:20):
Okay, I talk to you about movies that we watched
as kids, right, So a couple of them that comes
to mind.
Speaker 1 (13:31):
I mean, what do you mean, like watched as kids,
like kids movies.
Speaker 2 (13:34):
No, I'm talking like adult movies that we watched as kids.
Speaker 1 (13:38):
Oh so trauma.
Speaker 2 (13:41):
I mean you could say Disney back in the day
was traumatic because you have blinding, the dad dying in
the first like ten minutes.
Speaker 1 (13:47):
Yeah, but tell me about it. The freaking land before
time killed me. Right, So parents getting wrecked by the
our pits and stuff and gaters kind of sentence.
Speaker 2 (13:59):
But a lot of these movies I was thinking back
like when I first watched them, right, So Titanic, when
did you first watch Titanic.
Speaker 1 (14:08):
I saw it in the movie theaters at what age.
I don't when did it come out?
Speaker 2 (14:13):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (14:14):
Well, you gotta give me something here, I would. I
watched that in the theaters.
Speaker 3 (14:18):
So when it was seven, okay, you were nine.
Speaker 1 (14:22):
I watched that in the theater. So I was nine
years old. I saw Titties when I was nine years old.
Speaker 2 (14:27):
Who okay? So what did I say? It came out
in ninety seven. I got it on VHS.
Speaker 1 (14:34):
Yeah, a seventy three box set.
Speaker 2 (14:37):
Two to VHS. But so I think I was probably
a little bit older, so maybe ten or if you
were nine, So I was seven, so maybe eight, let's
say eight or nine for me too. When the VHS
came out. It wasn't always immediate, no, okay. Anyways, Jurassic Park,
I watched that.
Speaker 1 (14:57):
I didn't go to the theaters to that, but I did.
I think we ran did it from.
Speaker 2 (15:00):
Blockbustertassic Park was ninety three.
Speaker 1 (15:03):
Yeah, we rented it from Blockbuster, so I was probably
like six or seven. Jaws. I would never let my
kids what we're going to get to that dog Jaws.
To this day, I haven't seen Jaws.
Speaker 2 (15:22):
Get to learn something about you every day, and not
in the best way. I never seen Jaws. You also
told me their day. You've never seen what beetlejuice?
Speaker 1 (15:30):
I never watch.
Speaker 2 (15:31):
I can't with you, I can't.
Speaker 1 (15:34):
That stuff does is not interesting?
Speaker 2 (15:36):
See regardless Jaws, I was seven years old for me, And.
Speaker 1 (15:41):
Yeah, why would you watch that at seven years old?
Speaker 2 (15:44):
I was at the beach too with my family. It
was our family.
Speaker 1 (15:46):
But that ruined your entire vacay.
Speaker 2 (15:48):
It was horrible.
Speaker 1 (15:49):
Oh my, going to the beast today? Why that's Jaws.
Speaker 2 (15:53):
Did you ever watch Clueless? No? Okay, I think I
was about maybe ten for Clueless. How about Adam's family?
Speaker 3 (16:02):
No, you know what that?
Speaker 1 (16:03):
I've never seen that.
Speaker 2 (16:04):
Okay, I'm gonna say.
Speaker 1 (16:05):
And I've seen parts and pieces, but nothing like not
front to back.
Speaker 2 (16:11):
So we'll stick with Titanic and Jurassic Park for you. Okay, Yeah,
those two that's valid. When would you let our child,
our daughter who is now nine years old, almost ten,
when would you let her watch Titanic into a Jurassic Park?
Speaker 1 (16:25):
Never? And that's because she is super sensitive.
Speaker 2 (16:31):
She is. She is a very sensitive child. I will
admit that. But even knowing that about her, is there
a an age.
Speaker 1 (16:40):
Is there an age She's going to watch Miraculous Ladybug
and that's it for the.
Speaker 2 (16:47):
Rest of her life. That's it for the rest of our.
Speaker 1 (16:49):
Life, and Paul Patrol. She is very sensitive. Like if
she's nine right now, if we let her watch that,
she'd be sleeping in our bed until.
Speaker 2 (16:59):
She Well, I was thinking about The Adams Family the
other day. I'm like, oh, that's such a harmless movie.
She could watch that. I don't think she's seen Wednesday actually,
but well.
Speaker 1 (17:10):
Even Beetlejuice is weird to her, Like you tried, like Beetlejuice,
she left.
Speaker 2 (17:20):
So yeah, I can't imagine our kid watching any of those.
And then to your point, she is a more sensitive
child than I think you were. I were, but just
any child. Like thinking about my nephews.
Speaker 1 (17:32):
They are No, i'd let him watch Jurassic Park. No,
they wouldn't be afraid of it.
Speaker 2 (17:39):
Our oldest nephew is six, and then our youngest is four.
So the six year old, you would let him watch
Jurassic Park, it would surprise me if he's already seen it.
To be quite honest with you.
Speaker 1 (17:50):
Well, are the older one I would let watch it
because he doesn't seem phased by that stuff. But younger
one maybe, I don't know. I would say you can
leave if you want.
Speaker 2 (18:03):
He's done in the four year old is not into
movies right now.
Speaker 1 (18:06):
No, he wouldn't. He wouldn't make it. Yeah, although seeing
that dude get drug at the very beginning into that cage,
I don't know, he might be out.
Speaker 3 (18:17):
Yeah, it's I.
Speaker 1 (18:18):
Still remember that. You see his hand and he's grabbing
and then all you see is this oh my Yeah,
that's a core trauma memory.
Speaker 2 (18:27):
Right then, letting us watch Titanic, which had sexual content.
Let us watch Jurassic Park, which people got.
Speaker 1 (18:38):
Eight very I mean the dude got eight while he
was dropping a duke right to what a way to go?
He tasted poop his.
Speaker 2 (18:50):
Well, I mean, it's the whole body. You're going to
get that anyways.
Speaker 1 (18:53):
But yeah, but at least at least you don't have
it hitting your tongue where the taste buds are. K.
Speaker 2 (19:00):
It just it blows my mind. When I was thinking
about it, I'm like listing all these movies out in
my head, trying to think of things that she could watch,
know that our age appropriate, or something that she'd enjoy
and even Clueless. There's a bunch of kids who are
dressing as Clueless in their Halloween costume for this year,
and I'm like, wait, I don't know.
Speaker 1 (19:19):
I don't even know what that movie's about.
Speaker 2 (19:21):
It's essentially all about losing your virginity. It's about losing
your virginity. So having these kids dress as Clueless and
I know, you know the outfits are harmless, right, but
I don't think i'd ever let her watch it, and
not until she was old curtain at this.
Speaker 1 (19:39):
Point, right, I mean, she knows what all that stuff, Well,
she doesn't really know what virginity is, but she knows
what private parts and how babies are made and stuff. Well, yeah, an.
Speaker 2 (19:51):
Extent, she's got the biology of it, if you will,
But she's not, like she doesn't.
Speaker 1 (19:56):
I don't think she knows what has to.
Speaker 2 (19:58):
Happen, right, the drive behind it trying to.
Speaker 1 (20:02):
I'm not trying to break her innocence of that, not
until she's honestly, she's going to learn that at school
before she learns it from me. And I'm not saying
from school school, I'm saying from friends at school. Yeah,
that's where you learn a lot. That's like a rite
of passage.
Speaker 2 (20:19):
Yeah, where you come home and ask questions.
Speaker 1 (20:23):
And you're like, ma, what the what is that? And
you're like, oh man, we're at that aggage.
Speaker 2 (20:30):
All right, here we go. Well, speaking of Halloween, have
you heard what the top costumes for this year are
going to be?
Speaker 1 (20:39):
Elsa No, good.
Speaker 2 (20:43):
Guess but no. So I've got the top fifteen here
on the list.
Speaker 1 (20:46):
I don't know, I guess any of them. The top
one will Wednesday. Wednesday's up there.
Speaker 3 (20:53):
It's got to be Wednesday.
Speaker 2 (20:55):
Wednesday did not make the list.
Speaker 1 (20:58):
This country's going to hell?
Speaker 2 (21:00):
Okay, two years since the season came out, Waiting on season.
Speaker 1 (21:05):
Two, Kamala Harris. No, so people don't want to dress
up as a stack of ship.
Speaker 2 (21:11):
Russell Allen, you don't have to take that out.
Speaker 1 (21:15):
No, it's too late.
Speaker 2 (21:18):
I said, you're first and middle.
Speaker 1 (21:19):
That's okay. She fucking almost full named me.
Speaker 2 (21:29):
Yeah, no, you're gonna have to take that out.
Speaker 3 (21:32):
I'm okay.
Speaker 2 (21:33):
So I have a list in front of me.
Speaker 1 (21:38):
She scolded me on the podcast, Cry go ahead, you ready?
Speaker 2 (21:48):
So I have a list of the top fifteen costumes
for this year. No, you're cheating.
Speaker 1 (21:55):
Wolverine and Deadpool Wolverine and Deadpool. I said, you saw
Lady Deadpool.
Speaker 2 (22:01):
Yes, Lady Deadpool. There's actually a call out, I guess
in the Deadpool and Wolverine movie, but I haven't watched
it yet. Yeah to Lady Deadpool.
Speaker 1 (22:08):
Yes, and I think it's actually Blake Lively. Who's Lady Deadpool?
Really think so? Yeah? But I don't think it's not
like a huge.
Speaker 3 (22:15):
Part No, no, no, I get it.
Speaker 1 (22:16):
But there was a lot of I don't what do
you call it, like controversy, No, not controversy, but people
all kinds of superheroes showing up in Ah. I thought
it was kind of cool. Yeah, like Channing Tatum was
Gambit and stuff.
Speaker 2 (22:33):
I can't wait to watch it. We just don't typically
go to the movies much anymore. It's more watch them
at home on themand.
Speaker 1 (22:39):
Because it's too expensive. Yeah, it costs a lot of
money to go in there. Because you want popcorn, you
gotta have movie popcorn. Then you gotta have thirty seven
gallons of coke. Yep, all that they don't have a
regular side. Can I please have a thimble of coke? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (23:00):
No, we haven't gotten to the movies in a while.
I think the last one was what super Mario.
Speaker 1 (23:04):
Yeah, yeah, we took our kiddo because plus we wanted
to see the new theater where we live. Man, I
tell you what, though, nice chairs put the fucking most
expensive nap youo ever takee Okay.
Speaker 2 (23:17):
Focus back to the costumes. So top fifteen, I don't know.
Speaker 1 (23:22):
Wolverine's not on there. No, man, Deadpool's not on there. No,
let's see. That's strange.
Speaker 2 (23:29):
Yeah, you'll probably never guess what number one is. I'm
gonna tell you ready, Yeah, it is Shrunken Head Bob.
He is from Beetlejuice, the Little Yeah, I know who
that is. Shrunken Head Bob is number one. I'm surprised
by that. So I don't know how much I believe
this list. Yeah no, but that's number one. Number two
is ray Gun, the break dancer from the Olympics.
Speaker 1 (23:53):
Oh that's valid.
Speaker 2 (23:54):
That's a good one.
Speaker 1 (23:54):
Yeah, because everybody can be a breakdancer.
Speaker 3 (23:56):
Now, uh huh, that's a good one. I thought it
was really good.
Speaker 2 (24:00):
Hat nap from Poppy's Playtime. Okay, yeah, whatever that means.
Morris from Beetlejuice. So Catherine O'Hara, I got nothing, Okay,
you know who Catherine O'Hara is.
Speaker 1 (24:13):
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, okay, yeah yeah.
Speaker 2 (24:16):
Get it together. Palmney from the Amazing Digital Circus, never
heard of it. Envy from Inside Out Inside Out has
a bunch of them on here. So Anger discuss anxiety. Yeah,
all of those are on this list.
Speaker 1 (24:31):
That's usually how it is. There's a big something that
comes out, like Elsa was huge for seven years after
Frozen came out.
Speaker 2 (24:40):
We'll wait till the next Frozen comes out. Frozen three
is coming out, and it'll be all over again to
goal Height. Then read from Descendants, which is a Disney movie,
and then Doctor Doom because we have Robert Downeing Junior
who's gonna be doctor. It's gonna be some alternate universe
bal whack that I.
Speaker 3 (24:59):
Can't I don't like it either.
Speaker 1 (25:01):
Don't get me started on that whole thing.
Speaker 3 (25:03):
Yeah, it's bad, they.
Speaker 1 (25:04):
Said, supposedly. I read a thing somewhere online about why
they did that, and it's because the Marvel movies have tanked.
They suck yep, and bringing back Robert Downey Jr. Was
a way to try to drum up interest. And I
don't truthfully, I don't think it's gonna work either. I
(25:27):
don't know. Disney is not on the right track. I
don't think Star Wars they've ruined it. They've thrown all
this weird shit into Star Wars. It's like, just shown
can make me a sci fi movie, man, you know.
Speaker 2 (25:39):
So the next one is don't you stop?
Speaker 1 (25:43):
It's my podcast too, it is.
Speaker 2 (25:49):
The next one is Sabrina Carpenter. I figured that that's
a big one right now. She's all over the place.
Barry said, Lady Deadpool and then a Chipotle burrito. If
he dresses as a burrito, you can actually get free chipotles,
is what I heard.
Speaker 1 (26:02):
Well, then, why the fuck? Why isn't that number.
Speaker 2 (26:05):
One or is it just your costume one of the two.
Speaker 1 (26:08):
I thought if you just dressed up and went there,
you would get something, Yeah.
Speaker 2 (26:11):
Something like that. Anyways, Oh, Wolverine is on here. Okay,
it was number fourteen.
Speaker 1 (26:15):
Line I did beifteen brito?
Speaker 2 (26:19):
Uh no, eleven was the Chipotle burrito. But I already
said all the inside outs and then.
Speaker 1 (26:23):
Oh, okay, I gotcha. Yeah, so Deadpool is not on there,
but Wolverine is the Lady DEADPOOLO.
Speaker 3 (26:29):
Is on there.
Speaker 1 (26:31):
That's nice.
Speaker 2 (26:33):
Who runs where? So? Uh we talked about those Halloween costumes. Yes,
what else looks really crazy and weird and looks like
a costume, but I guess was actually a robot Optimus. Yeah, yeah, yep,
(26:55):
I've got big concerns.
Speaker 1 (26:59):
I do well. I do too to a point, I
think AI. So what we're talking about is Optimists Elon
musk Tesla. They are developing a robot called Optimists, and
it's supposed to be like a in your house all
the time on help you do everything, mow your grass,
(27:20):
help you do dishes, laundry. It's like your personal companion robot.
It's like C three po from Star Wars. For all
my Star Wars nerds.
Speaker 2 (27:29):
If you know the movie I Robot.
Speaker 1 (27:30):
Yes, exactly exactly. It's supposed to be that where it's
essentially like a family member. And they had an event
I think it's been like two weeks now, and they
showed it off and it's it looks a lot like
I Robot. Even the bus that it rode in on,
(27:53):
like those things rode in on to start walking around,
it looked like I Robot. And I don't know if
that is that a Is that wise branding or is
that unwise branding? Because I Robot is an apocalyptic type movie.
Speaker 2 (28:06):
I think it's wise because people are gonna say it anyways. Right,
people are gonna say it anyway, so why not lean
into it.
Speaker 1 (28:11):
Well, is a known sci fi nerd. I mean he
loves that stuff like Starship. But I don't know.
Speaker 2 (28:22):
I think branding wise, it was a smart decision. But overall,
I mean, you're gonna have those thoughts anyways. You're gonna
say that it looks like I Robot, that this feels
like I Robot, that it's similar to an I Robot situation.
What's gonna happen? Right, the whole idea of Terminator, the
whole idea of all these other AI has gone wrong. Right,
(28:42):
You're gonna say it anyways. You're gonna draw those conclusions,
lean into it. But the actual I think it was
either the movie creator or the director of I Robot
said can I get my designs back to Elon? I
thought it was funny.
Speaker 1 (28:56):
I mean, I don't I see. I diss agree with that.
And the reason why I disagree with that is because
the robot itself is designed to look human. It's like, okay,
then you need to go talk to God and give
his designs back. I mean, that's stupid.
Speaker 2 (29:15):
No, I just thought it was funny.
Speaker 1 (29:16):
Bus the bus thing. I will say though, it did
look very similar to the transport in Eye robot. But
the robots themselves, it's like you're trying to make them
human looking so that people accept them. You can't make
it look like something with razor blade. Yes, I mean,
you got to make it look friendly so people will
(29:37):
buy it. But it's supposed to be what twenty to
thirty thousand bucks, I think, so he.
Speaker 2 (29:42):
Thinks that people everyday people can afford them and have
them in their home.
Speaker 1 (29:46):
Yeah. I don't know about that. That's it's a lot
of money. But I think if it's the value that
you can get out of one of them things, if
it's as good, yeah, I'm sure you could. You could
probably do pretty it would be worth the money. I
think if it did what it was supposed to do,
I don't know, but you're going to talk about them
(30:11):
being remoted. Yeah, so.
Speaker 2 (30:16):
I guess it was supposed to come across right that
these robots, the Optimist robot was being it was integrated
with AI.
Speaker 1 (30:27):
It was mingling amongst the crowd with no human intervention.
That's what the idea was behind the uh this this presentation, right.
Speaker 2 (30:37):
That's what they said. But in actuality, it was actually
being piloted, is what people are coming to believe.
Speaker 1 (30:45):
Well, it wasn't being so the robots themselves. They were
walking themselves. Yes, that was AI. The other stuff was
a human assisted Yes.
Speaker 2 (30:58):
The interaction between people, like people could order drinks and
the robot would give it, but they would actually talk
right like okay, well what do you have? Well, we
have this, this and this. That was actually somebody I
don't know.
Speaker 1 (31:11):
I don't know, because there was a word that somebody
kept saying to it, and it kept stumbling over the
word and it was like a basic word. I don't
know what it was. But yeah. But also the other
thing that lends more evidence against it being like a
real AI robot rummaging and socializing amongst the crowd. Tesla
(31:37):
just got caught speeding up a video of Optimists doing
things in the factory. I think so it made it
look like it was like super efficient. I'm like, come on, man,
I love Elon and I think he's doing awesome stuff,
but I don't think this is nearly as close to
being ready as they're selling it. I know they have
(31:58):
to do this shit for investors, right, absolutely, it's it
looks fake as fuck.
Speaker 2 (32:04):
Yeah, And I mean I like you said, I get
it right. They're close, they're getting close, but they're probably
not as close as they're trying to make us believe.
Speaker 1 (32:12):
Well, I think Elon's biggest thing is technology expands and
evolves quickly, yes, like exponentially. Once you do one thing,
it like triples the next step or whatever, you know.
And I think that's his idea. But he's been promising
self driving cars since I can't remember, it's been years. Yeah,
(32:38):
we're still not there yet.
Speaker 2 (32:40):
Yeah, although the taxis that they had as part of
this event as well. Yeah, but that was such a
right It was almost like on a track.
Speaker 1 (32:47):
It was. It was that. I think it was at
Universal Studios, so it was in a contained environment. It
wasn't like driving on a city street with real traffic,
real on certainty of human drivers, people walking out in
front of you, stuff like that. It looks cool and
I do hope it comes true me too, because driving
(33:11):
is one of the most dangerous things you can do
as a person. You can get killed like nothing. And
if we can take that control away from people and
put it into somebody's somebody a robot's hand that can
actually like do a bajillion process as a second and
(33:31):
notice things or even they all communicate to each other.
Speaker 2 (33:34):
And you'd rather drive than fly.
Speaker 3 (33:36):
I can't with you, I can't.
Speaker 1 (33:37):
I can't fly, man, I don't.
Speaker 2 (33:39):
Know, getting off shopping, But the overarching idea of one
of these robots, would you have one?
Speaker 1 (33:45):
And yeah, I mean I wouldn't pay thirty thousand dollars
for it unless I was rich, but I'd have one.
Are you looking at me like that? For you because
of the uprising?
Speaker 2 (33:58):
That is a huge difference between us then, because I
don't know if I could get around having that thing
in our house.
Speaker 1 (34:05):
You you say that so weird. You say that until
that motherfucker folds laundry.
Speaker 2 (34:10):
Well, like if you think about it, I mean, but
if you about it like we've had you know, the Alexa,
We've had the Google, We've had the I Home, like
all of the things.
Speaker 1 (34:22):
Right, you had to look around and our devices are listening.
Speaker 2 (34:26):
But you've had all those things in the house and
a lot of people don't like them, right because they're intrusive,
They are always listening. They're whatever.
Speaker 1 (34:33):
Yeah, but these are the same people that carry around
a smartphone.
Speaker 2 (34:38):
True, but they are tiny, right, they are small. They're
almost like not noticeable unless you know they're in the
house and then you say the name and then it
does the thing, right, so they're not intrusive. You're talking
about having something that almost moves and acts like another human, yeah,
in your house, right, but if it can, if it
(35:00):
gives you that much benefit, But it doesn't have personality,
Like I'm sure you could probably have conversations with it
because it's.
Speaker 1 (35:08):
AI right, and I recommend people listening try either Gemini
Live well, use Gemini Live if you have an Android phone.
That was mind blowing to me.
Speaker 2 (35:19):
I just I don't think I would be able to
get over that hump of having something that's almost like
taking up a whole space as another person.
Speaker 1 (35:28):
But that's a generational thing too. You got to think
people like us, we're hesitant, but people like our.
Speaker 2 (35:35):
Kid or her kid one day.
Speaker 1 (35:37):
Yeah, or her kid, Like if this comes out while
our kid is still young, you'll get used to it quick.
And then her kids though that's what they have in
their house. It's normal jets Yeah, like like oh hey,
optimist is mowing the lawn. Imagine walking, imagine driving through
your neighborhood, and y'all, use is a bunch of Optimists
(36:01):
outside Mono Grass the well. They wave at you when
you drive, hey, and they're like, I was up rich.
Speaker 2 (36:08):
No, I don't know. I feel weird about that one.
Speaker 1 (36:12):
I don't. Yeah. And then and then you have your
rogue AI that goes.
Speaker 2 (36:17):
In there and it kills everybody.
Speaker 1 (36:19):
Yeah, they're already in your house, you're sleeping. Any that
they're not, I don't they have it. I mean, Amazon's
got the astro that's super basic, but it still knows
how to navigate through your house. You've seen that, right,
Like the mobile Alexa.
Speaker 2 (36:35):
Thing not in here? Okay, all right. So we talked
about some strange things today. As far as that robot
goes in, my opinion is stranger. Can't wrap my head
around it. But I wanted to end today with what
is the strangest compliment you have ever thought about giving me?
I found this question. I found this question from like
(36:59):
a couple, like not a therapy couple's book. Couples, like
I said, like how to stay connected with your partner? Right,
And one of these questions. So what's the strangest compliment
you ever thought about giving me. I'll give you a minute.
I've got mine. You're a good cuddler and.
Speaker 1 (37:20):
That's not strange though, But how is that a strange
that's a normal compliment. How is that strange?
Speaker 2 (37:28):
The other one was, you're really good at laser hair removal.
Speaker 1 (37:32):
That's strange. That is strange.
Speaker 2 (37:35):
Good job on my laser hair removal. We got the
bronze device at home and it's working really well. You
do do a very good job at it.
Speaker 1 (37:43):
That's to see. That's strange. But good cuddler, that's not strange.
Speaker 2 (37:46):
That's well, I'm gonna be nice.
Speaker 1 (37:48):
Okay. I don't know. You're really good at folding.
Speaker 2 (37:54):
Clothes, but you want to replace me with optimists?
Speaker 1 (38:00):
Well I didn't save you time and we could do
more podcasts. Yeah, spend more time with the fan you
maybe next week.
Speaker 2 (38:10):

This is the Unfiltered Union, and I'm Russ.
Speaker 2 (00:08):
Here is this week's episode.
Speaker 1 (00:14):
You know, almost every single time we do a podcast,
I make fun of you for sunburn. I can't make
fun of you this time.
Speaker 2 (00:21):
Yeah, because you too.
Speaker 1 (00:23):
Ha I got wrecked yesterday. Huh badly?
Speaker 3 (00:27):
It is yeah, painful, it hurts.
Speaker 1 (00:30):
It hurts real bad. It hurts so bad that Solar
Recover is struggling to keep up.
Speaker 2 (00:38):
It's just my face. I got the raccoonize again, but
yours is like your whole body.
Speaker 1 (00:42):
Yeah, I don't outside it is awful outside.
Speaker 2 (00:47):
Well, I mean, mother nature does some crazy things. Inter
Helene and Milton.
Speaker 1 (00:53):
Helene, Helen. I still stand by Helen.
Speaker 2 (00:56):
You say so, But it just feels like this is
probable the first weekend that we've had that's kind of normal.
Speaker 1 (01:03):
Yeah, since all the hurricanes. Yeah, oh, I agree, because
it's been non stop. We've had trash build up in
our house because there's no trash service out here. They
finally restarted it, but now they paused it again because
they're getting overflowed with yard debrice debris and it's crazy. Yeah.
(01:28):
The city of Tampa just stopped recycling service and I
believe they did stop residential trash service for now.
Speaker 2 (01:36):
Crazy.
Speaker 1 (01:37):
Yeah, our our garage smelled like.
Speaker 2 (01:41):
Old food, don't want to trash.
Speaker 1 (01:45):
It was nasty. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (01:46):
But even driving around when we would go to we
shop at al d for our groceries exactly twished.
Speaker 1 (01:54):
Your own bags in a quarter. Yeah, that's that's a nightmare.
Speaker 2 (02:00):
Quarters at Aldi are the bane of my shopping existence.
Speaker 1 (02:04):
We went yesterday and we lost our trustee quarter.
Speaker 2 (02:08):
We dig through our car to try and find a
freaking quarter.
Speaker 1 (02:12):
It took us twenty minutes of our Aldi trip to
find a quata just so we could get a cart.
Speaker 2 (02:19):
Well anyways, but driving to and from Aldi, we go
through places that are near the river and by the river.
Down by the river, it sound like Chris Farley. There
was debris and people's houses flooded so all their furniture
was on the curb side for after Helene, right well
(02:39):
after Milton and where double like it's double now. The
amount of debris, the amount of things that are now
at the curb, it's crazy. And like you said, Hillsborough
County is struggling to keep up with all of it.
So it's just a it's a mess out here.
Speaker 1 (02:56):
Yeah, and just to be clear here, Hillsboro County is
what is in Tampa is in Hillsboro County. It's insane.
It's definitely. That was the worst one we've had since
we've been here.
Speaker 2 (03:10):
And we were here for Ian too, and Ian was Cat.
Speaker 1 (03:14):
Five upon landfall, but we got lucky. Unfortunately for other
people down in Fort Myers, it veered south at the
last second. It was supposed to hit us head on
the in burial grounds. Man, oh yeah, keep it coming. Well,
it kind of did the same thing for this one,
but a little bit closer to our disadvantage. We were
in the northern eyewall where we live, which is where
(03:37):
the highest winds and rains are, and that it was.
It was dicey. I'm not gonna lie. It scared the
shit out of me. I couldn't sleep. I went to
bed finally at about five am after the majority of
it passed us. But it was it was It's like
a tornado that doesn't stop after thirty seconds, right.
Speaker 2 (04:01):
It was it's ours watch the house literally like breathe.
Speaker 1 (04:06):
Yeah. We have sliding doors in our neighborhood that are
in our back backyards and they're big sliding doors and
that thing was flex and I was I swore that
was going to break that crazy. I swore it was
gonna shif Yeah. And then the problem with with windows
breaking is then your your your house gets essentially pressurized
(04:31):
from the inside and then they can blow your roof off.
So that was a big concern for me.
Speaker 2 (04:36):
Yeah, it was definitely definitely crazy. But on top of
it all, we watched Dennis Phillips. I can't say enough
about him as the local weathermen, like just keeping a
sane and aware and not freaking out. Well number seven I.
Speaker 1 (04:56):
Was still freaking out.
Speaker 3 (04:57):
Well.
Speaker 1 (04:57):
I mean, the problem with hurricanes is you know they're coming.
Speaker 2 (05:00):
Right, But that's also a good thing. That's also the benefit.
Speaker 1 (05:04):
Yeah, but if you're gonna hunker down like we did,
you're like, okay, God, just hurry up, please, dear god.
H did you say it was like getting stalked by
a turtle.
Speaker 2 (05:14):
Yes, that's what Dennis Phillips says. I love him. He
keeps me saying during those moments of the news, drawing
it out, sensationalizing it, and everybody's gonna so he gives
us the reel of it. Right, We're gonna be in
the northern eyewall, there's gonna be the fastest wins probably
the most damage to houses. Like he gives you the
(05:35):
reel of it, but he doesn't make you freak out.
So I appreciate him.
Speaker 1 (05:40):
I was, I'm not gonna lie. Though he got a
little it seemed like he got you're right. Yeah he did.
He said, he was like, don't freak out. He said,
now's not the time to freak out. It's the time
for action. I was like, what does that mean? Run?
But the problem with running you couldn't. There was no gas.
(06:01):
There was gridlock, traffic. People were running out of gas
on I seventy five to get out of Tampa and
go north. YEP. People were trying to go to Orlando
on I four. On I four gridlock and then there's
just no gas anywhere. We're still recovering from the gas shortage.
Now we're trying to get like stability in our gas system.
Speaker 2 (06:26):
Making that last quarter of a tank.
Speaker 1 (06:28):
Oh you're in. Yeah you just if you have an
EV you kind of made out a little bit unless
it got flooded and caught fire.
Speaker 2 (06:36):
Yeah that okay.
Speaker 1 (06:40):
Well, I mean EV is kind of a It kind
of lends to one of our topics. I don't know
if we're gonna.
Speaker 2 (06:45):
Not there yet.
Speaker 1 (06:45):
Come on, he was trying to segue.
Speaker 2 (06:48):
He tried it was cute.
Speaker 1 (06:50):
I'm not good at this.
Speaker 2 (06:52):
So we had the kids out for nine days out
of school. I think when we lived in Virginia, the
longest kids were out of school was probably close to
a month. If you think back to what was it
two thousand and ten, March twenty ten, the big blizzard. Yeah,
that one put kids out of school for multiple weeks.
(07:14):
I would say almost maybe two or three, close to
a month. And these kids were out for nine days
for this hurricane. And then they.
Speaker 1 (07:24):
Had nips in this shirt. Sorry, keep going.
Speaker 2 (07:31):
Then they had what three or four days for Helene.
So hurricane days are real down here.
Speaker 1 (07:38):
Yeah, it's been over two weeks for the kids here.
It's crazy, and they the parents are losing their minds.
Like we have Facebook neighborhood groups and all the parents
are like, these kids are going back, could somebody watch
my children?
Speaker 2 (07:54):
Well, everybody's like put the kids to work, Put the kids.
Speaker 1 (07:56):
To work, go pick up all the yard stuff everywhere.
Speaker 2 (08:00):
Which seriously, I had to tell myself at one point
that it's a marathon. It is not, you know, a
quick one hundred yard dash to get all this debris
picked up, although some of our neighbors did it that quickly,
which good on them. But gosh.
Speaker 1 (08:12):
But the funny part though, is they picked it up,
but it's sitting in front of their house now waiting
to be picked up. Picked up.
Speaker 2 (08:18):
Yeah, because of all the debris.
Speaker 1 (08:20):
As you Yeah, yes, I'm fancy and I'm French.
Speaker 2 (08:25):
But did you see that the stingrays had to actually
go back to the Tampa aquarium that were.
Speaker 1 (08:30):
In the I'm not surprised the roof got ripped off.
Speaker 2 (08:34):
Uh huh. So the Tampa Race, Tampa.
Speaker 1 (08:38):
Bay Race, TA Stadium at.
Speaker 2 (08:40):
Tropic Cana Stadium, they actually have a stingray tank that
you can actually have your kids go touch stingrays while
at the game. It's really cool. But the poor things
had to get moved because the whole roof of the
Tropicana got ripped off during Milton. It was scary.
Speaker 1 (08:58):
I wonder what they were thinking, God, what is that?
Speaker 2 (09:03):
There's probably more well other than being in a small tank,
but they're probably more used to it than us because
I don't know, in the ocean. I don't know is
it safer underwater. You think during a hurricane in.
Speaker 1 (09:14):
The ocean, I would think, so that's not where the
wind is.
Speaker 2 (09:18):
True, But if it floods, you're a fish anyways.
Speaker 1 (09:21):
Yeah, you can breathe, But but does it swirl in there?
Like that's what I'm saying, a reverse you know, the
whirlpools that people see and get sucked into. Is it
reverse for them? They get sucked into the air sharknado?
That would be kind.
Speaker 2 (09:35):
We talked to our cousin about that before it happened.
Speaker 1 (09:37):
We did it. We did. She was making fun of
us because we're getting ready, not making fun of us,
but saying, you're gonna have sharknado. And then we were like, well,
where you live, people are eating cats. So oh yeah yeah.
Speaker 2 (09:51):
AnyWho, during all of this, we have, you know, again,
get it together.
Speaker 1 (09:58):
I can't.
Speaker 2 (09:59):
We have family member burst up north who live in Virginia, Pennsylvania, Ohio,
all the places right, well, why we're going through Hurricane Milton.
They're all posting pictures of the northern lights that reached
all the way down to Mid America. Yeah, and we're
over here like hi, Nadine high oscars that.
Speaker 1 (10:19):
You right, it's don't. We have two developing, but they're
not going to hit us.
Speaker 2 (10:25):
I don't think they're gonna They're in the Atlantic and
one of them is probably gonna cross the Pacific.
Speaker 1 (10:30):
But yeah, I thought one was going like through South
America and crossing over to the Pacific, and then they's.
Speaker 2 (10:36):
Gonna bounce off the Bahamas and like go back into
the Atlantic. And I'm good, gritty, but that's the cold Front.
Speaker 1 (10:44):
I think they're controlling the weather. For sure.
Speaker 3 (10:46):
We are not going there.
Speaker 2 (10:47):
I do that we're not going there.
Speaker 1 (10:48):
There's weather control like cloud seating devices out there that
have been patented and all that stuff. I think I
do believe that there are some form of control like
cloud seating and what is that camtrails all that stuff.
Do you ever when we're flying on an airplane, do
(11:10):
you see that stuff coming out the sides of that thing? No?
Come on, now, you good?
Speaker 2 (11:15):
No?
Speaker 1 (11:15):
Okay, I gotta talk all day about this.
Speaker 2 (11:18):
But now that things are starting to really feel slightly
back to normal this weekend, we went to a pumpkin
patch this today.
Speaker 1 (11:26):
It was cool.
Speaker 2 (11:27):
Yeah, that's not where we got the sunburn from sunburn
was actually yesterday during soccer, but.
Speaker 1 (11:32):
It was The weird thing is it was like seventy
degrees outside and it was cold. It's cold for Floridians. Yeah,
and we're all out there not I mean, I've got
shorts on.
Speaker 2 (11:43):
You.
Speaker 1 (11:43):
Yeah, we had shorts on, but it was windy, so
you couldn't feel the sun on your skin. And then
you got home and then you looked at yourself and
you're like, ow, it was a delayed reaction.
Speaker 2 (11:55):
But now that we're, you know again, getting back to
kind of normal. We went to a pumpkin patch and
there's red tide out there.
Speaker 1 (12:02):
Yeah, the beaches are closed. Plus you got to give this,
give give space to the people that actually lived there. Help,
you know, don't don't pollute their area with traffic and
people trash. Let them kind of get back to to
to their normal.
Speaker 2 (12:19):
Absolutely, let them get back to our Florida strong.
Speaker 1 (12:23):
That's right. It's kind of cool. Though. I will say
that Florida does come together after something like this because
this was a major, major hurricane. Like people, I'm pretty
sure there's quite a few people that have died.
Speaker 2 (12:39):
And have been displaced and have lost everything.
Speaker 1 (12:42):
And billions of dollars of damage.
Speaker 2 (12:45):
We we're lucky with what we got through, how we
got through this hurricane certainly lucky compared to many who
lost everything. Right, So our hearts go out to them,
for sure, And like Jennis.
Speaker 1 (12:59):
Villa said, Lord Strong, Yeah, for sure.
Speaker 2 (13:02):
We'll keep going. Okay, switching topics, right.
Speaker 1 (13:05):
Yeah, I know, I thought we were supposed to be
a comedy podcast. We laugh a lot at ourselves. Nobody
else does.
Speaker 2 (13:14):
Somebody does because somebody's out there laughing.
Speaker 1 (13:18):
They're laughing at us, wasting our time.
Speaker 2 (13:20):
Okay, I talk to you about movies that we watched
as kids, right, So a couple of them that comes
to mind.
Speaker 1 (13:31):
I mean, what do you mean, like watched as kids,
like kids movies.
Speaker 2 (13:34):
No, I'm talking like adult movies that we watched as kids.
Speaker 1 (13:38):
Oh so trauma.
Speaker 2 (13:41):
I mean you could say Disney back in the day
was traumatic because you have blinding, the dad dying in
the first like ten minutes.
Speaker 1 (13:47):
Yeah, but tell me about it. The freaking land before
time killed me. Right, So parents getting wrecked by the
our pits and stuff and gaters kind of sentence.
Speaker 2 (13:59):
But a lot of these movies I was thinking back
like when I first watched them, right, So Titanic, when
did you first watch Titanic.
Speaker 1 (14:08):
I saw it in the movie theaters at what age.
I don't when did it come out?
Speaker 2 (14:13):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (14:14):
Well, you gotta give me something here, I would. I
watched that in the theaters.
Speaker 3 (14:18):
So when it was seven, okay, you were nine.
Speaker 1 (14:22):
I watched that in the theater. So I was nine
years old. I saw Titties when I was nine years old.
Speaker 2 (14:27):
Who okay? So what did I say? It came out
in ninety seven. I got it on VHS.
Speaker 1 (14:34):
Yeah, a seventy three box set.
Speaker 2 (14:37):
Two to VHS. But so I think I was probably
a little bit older, so maybe ten or if you
were nine, So I was seven, so maybe eight, let's
say eight or nine for me too. When the VHS
came out. It wasn't always immediate, no, okay. Anyways, Jurassic Park,
I watched that.
Speaker 1 (14:57):
I didn't go to the theaters to that, but I did.
I think we ran did it from.
Speaker 2 (15:00):
Blockbustertassic Park was ninety three.
Speaker 1 (15:03):
Yeah, we rented it from Blockbuster, so I was probably
like six or seven. Jaws. I would never let my
kids what we're going to get to that dog Jaws.
To this day, I haven't seen Jaws.
Speaker 2 (15:22):
Get to learn something about you every day, and not
in the best way. I never seen Jaws. You also
told me their day. You've never seen what beetlejuice?
Speaker 1 (15:30):
I never watch.
Speaker 2 (15:31):
I can't with you, I can't.
Speaker 1 (15:34):
That stuff does is not interesting?
Speaker 2 (15:36):
See regardless Jaws, I was seven years old for me, And.
Speaker 1 (15:41):
Yeah, why would you watch that at seven years old?
Speaker 2 (15:44):
I was at the beach too with my family. It
was our family.
Speaker 1 (15:46):
But that ruined your entire vacay.
Speaker 2 (15:48):
It was horrible.
Speaker 1 (15:49):
Oh my, going to the beast today? Why that's Jaws.
Speaker 2 (15:53):
Did you ever watch Clueless? No? Okay, I think I
was about maybe ten for Clueless. How about Adam's family?
Speaker 3 (16:02):
No, you know what that?
Speaker 1 (16:03):
I've never seen that.
Speaker 2 (16:04):
Okay, I'm gonna say.
Speaker 1 (16:05):
And I've seen parts and pieces, but nothing like not
front to back.
Speaker 2 (16:11):
So we'll stick with Titanic and Jurassic Park for you. Okay, Yeah,
those two that's valid. When would you let our child,
our daughter who is now nine years old, almost ten,
when would you let her watch Titanic into a Jurassic Park?
Speaker 1 (16:25):
Never? And that's because she is super sensitive.
Speaker 2 (16:31):
She is. She is a very sensitive child. I will
admit that. But even knowing that about her, is there
a an age.
Speaker 1 (16:40):
Is there an age She's going to watch Miraculous Ladybug
and that's it for the.
Speaker 2 (16:47):
Rest of her life. That's it for the rest of our.
Speaker 1 (16:49):
Life, and Paul Patrol. She is very sensitive. Like if
she's nine right now, if we let her watch that,
she'd be sleeping in our bed until.
Speaker 2 (16:59):
She Well, I was thinking about The Adams Family the
other day. I'm like, oh, that's such a harmless movie.
She could watch that. I don't think she's seen Wednesday actually,
but well.
Speaker 1 (17:10):
Even Beetlejuice is weird to her, Like you tried, like Beetlejuice,
she left.
Speaker 2 (17:20):
So yeah, I can't imagine our kid watching any of those.
And then to your point, she is a more sensitive
child than I think you were. I were, but just
any child. Like thinking about my nephews.
Speaker 1 (17:32):
They are No, i'd let him watch Jurassic Park. No,
they wouldn't be afraid of it.
Speaker 2 (17:39):
Our oldest nephew is six, and then our youngest is four.
So the six year old, you would let him watch
Jurassic Park, it would surprise me if he's already seen it.
To be quite honest with you.
Speaker 1 (17:50):
Well, are the older one I would let watch it
because he doesn't seem phased by that stuff. But younger
one maybe, I don't know. I would say you can
leave if you want.
Speaker 2 (18:03):
He's done in the four year old is not into
movies right now.
Speaker 1 (18:06):
No, he wouldn't. He wouldn't make it. Yeah, although seeing
that dude get drug at the very beginning into that cage,
I don't know, he might be out.
Speaker 3 (18:17):
Yeah, it's I.
Speaker 1 (18:18):
Still remember that. You see his hand and he's grabbing
and then all you see is this oh my Yeah,
that's a core trauma memory.
Speaker 2 (18:27):
Right then, letting us watch Titanic, which had sexual content.
Let us watch Jurassic Park, which people got.
Speaker 1 (18:38):
Eight very I mean the dude got eight while he
was dropping a duke right to what a way to go?
He tasted poop his.
Speaker 2 (18:50):
Well, I mean, it's the whole body. You're going to
get that anyways.
Speaker 1 (18:53):
But yeah, but at least at least you don't have
it hitting your tongue where the taste buds are. K.
Speaker 2 (19:00):
It just it blows my mind. When I was thinking
about it, I'm like listing all these movies out in
my head, trying to think of things that she could watch,
know that our age appropriate, or something that she'd enjoy
and even Clueless. There's a bunch of kids who are
dressing as Clueless in their Halloween costume for this year,
and I'm like, wait, I don't know.
Speaker 1 (19:19):
I don't even know what that movie's about.
Speaker 2 (19:21):
It's essentially all about losing your virginity. It's about losing
your virginity. So having these kids dress as Clueless and
I know, you know the outfits are harmless, right, but
I don't think i'd ever let her watch it, and
not until she was old curtain at this.
Speaker 1 (19:39):
Point, right, I mean, she knows what all that stuff, Well,
she doesn't really know what virginity is, but she knows
what private parts and how babies are made and stuff. Well, yeah, an.
Speaker 2 (19:51):
Extent, she's got the biology of it, if you will,
But she's not, like she doesn't.
Speaker 1 (19:56):
I don't think she knows what has to.
Speaker 2 (19:58):
Happen, right, the drive behind it trying to.
Speaker 1 (20:02):
I'm not trying to break her innocence of that, not
until she's honestly, she's going to learn that at school
before she learns it from me. And I'm not saying
from school school, I'm saying from friends at school. Yeah,
that's where you learn a lot. That's like a rite
of passage.
Speaker 2 (20:19):
Yeah, where you come home and ask questions.
Speaker 1 (20:23):
And you're like, ma, what the what is that? And
you're like, oh man, we're at that aggage.
Speaker 2 (20:30):
All right, here we go. Well, speaking of Halloween, have
you heard what the top costumes for this year are
going to be?
Speaker 1 (20:39):
Elsa No, good.
Speaker 2 (20:43):
Guess but no. So I've got the top fifteen here
on the list.
Speaker 1 (20:46):
I don't know, I guess any of them. The top
one will Wednesday. Wednesday's up there.
Speaker 3 (20:53):
It's got to be Wednesday.
Speaker 2 (20:55):
Wednesday did not make the list.
Speaker 1 (20:58):
This country's going to hell?
Speaker 2 (21:00):
Okay, two years since the season came out, Waiting on season.
Speaker 1 (21:05):
Two, Kamala Harris. No, so people don't want to dress
up as a stack of ship.
Speaker 2 (21:11):
Russell Allen, you don't have to take that out.
Speaker 1 (21:15):
No, it's too late.
Speaker 2 (21:18):
I said, you're first and middle.
Speaker 1 (21:19):
That's okay. She fucking almost full named me.
Speaker 2 (21:29):
Yeah, no, you're gonna have to take that out.
Speaker 3 (21:32):
I'm okay.
Speaker 2 (21:33):
So I have a list in front of me.
Speaker 1 (21:38):
She scolded me on the podcast, Cry go ahead, you ready?
Speaker 2 (21:48):
So I have a list of the top fifteen costumes
for this year. No, you're cheating.
Speaker 1 (21:55):
Wolverine and Deadpool Wolverine and Deadpool. I said, you saw
Lady Deadpool.
Speaker 2 (22:01):
Yes, Lady Deadpool. There's actually a call out, I guess
in the Deadpool and Wolverine movie, but I haven't watched
it yet. Yeah to Lady Deadpool.
Speaker 1 (22:08):
Yes, and I think it's actually Blake Lively. Who's Lady Deadpool?
Really think so? Yeah? But I don't think it's not
like a huge.
Speaker 3 (22:15):
Part No, no, no, I get it.
Speaker 1 (22:16):
But there was a lot of I don't what do
you call it, like controversy, No, not controversy, but people
all kinds of superheroes showing up in Ah. I thought
it was kind of cool. Yeah, like Channing Tatum was
Gambit and stuff.
Speaker 2 (22:33):
I can't wait to watch it. We just don't typically
go to the movies much anymore. It's more watch them
at home on themand.
Speaker 1 (22:39):
Because it's too expensive. Yeah, it costs a lot of
money to go in there. Because you want popcorn, you
gotta have movie popcorn. Then you gotta have thirty seven
gallons of coke. Yep, all that they don't have a
regular side. Can I please have a thimble of coke? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (23:00):
No, we haven't gotten to the movies in a while.
I think the last one was what super Mario.
Speaker 1 (23:04):
Yeah, yeah, we took our kiddo because plus we wanted
to see the new theater where we live. Man, I
tell you what, though, nice chairs put the fucking most
expensive nap youo ever takee Okay.
Speaker 2 (23:17):
Focus back to the costumes. So top fifteen, I don't know.
Speaker 1 (23:22):
Wolverine's not on there. No, man, Deadpool's not on there. No,
let's see. That's strange.
Speaker 2 (23:29):
Yeah, you'll probably never guess what number one is. I'm
gonna tell you ready, Yeah, it is Shrunken Head Bob.
He is from Beetlejuice, the Little Yeah, I know who
that is. Shrunken Head Bob is number one. I'm surprised
by that. So I don't know how much I believe
this list. Yeah no, but that's number one. Number two
is ray Gun, the break dancer from the Olympics.
Speaker 1 (23:53):
Oh that's valid.
Speaker 2 (23:54):
That's a good one.
Speaker 1 (23:54):
Yeah, because everybody can be a breakdancer.
Speaker 3 (23:56):
Now, uh huh, that's a good one. I thought it
was really good.
Speaker 2 (24:00):
Hat nap from Poppy's Playtime. Okay, yeah, whatever that means.
Morris from Beetlejuice. So Catherine O'Hara, I got nothing, Okay,
you know who Catherine O'Hara is.
Speaker 1 (24:13):
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, okay, yeah yeah.
Speaker 2 (24:16):
Get it together. Palmney from the Amazing Digital Circus, never
heard of it. Envy from Inside Out Inside Out has
a bunch of them on here. So Anger discuss anxiety. Yeah,
all of those are on this list.
Speaker 1 (24:31):
That's usually how it is. There's a big something that
comes out, like Elsa was huge for seven years after
Frozen came out.
Speaker 2 (24:40):
We'll wait till the next Frozen comes out. Frozen three
is coming out, and it'll be all over again to
goal Height. Then read from Descendants, which is a Disney movie,
and then Doctor Doom because we have Robert Downeing Junior
who's gonna be doctor. It's gonna be some alternate universe
bal whack that I.
Speaker 3 (24:59):
Can't I don't like it either.
Speaker 1 (25:01):
Don't get me started on that whole thing.
Speaker 3 (25:03):
Yeah, it's bad, they.
Speaker 1 (25:04):
Said, supposedly. I read a thing somewhere online about why
they did that, and it's because the Marvel movies have tanked.
They suck yep, and bringing back Robert Downey Jr. Was
a way to try to drum up interest. And I
don't truthfully, I don't think it's gonna work either. I
(25:27):
don't know. Disney is not on the right track. I
don't think Star Wars they've ruined it. They've thrown all
this weird shit into Star Wars. It's like, just shown
can make me a sci fi movie, man, you know.
Speaker 2 (25:39):
So the next one is don't you stop?
Speaker 1 (25:43):
It's my podcast too, it is.
Speaker 2 (25:49):
The next one is Sabrina Carpenter. I figured that that's
a big one right now. She's all over the place.
Barry said, Lady Deadpool and then a Chipotle burrito. If
he dresses as a burrito, you can actually get free chipotles,
is what I heard.
Speaker 1 (26:02):
Well, then, why the fuck? Why isn't that number.
Speaker 2 (26:05):
One or is it just your costume one of the two.
Speaker 1 (26:08):
I thought if you just dressed up and went there,
you would get something, Yeah.
Speaker 2 (26:11):
Something like that. Anyways, Oh, Wolverine is on here. Okay,
it was number fourteen.
Speaker 1 (26:15):
Line I did beifteen brito?
Speaker 2 (26:19):
Uh no, eleven was the Chipotle burrito. But I already
said all the inside outs and then.
Speaker 1 (26:23):
Oh, okay, I gotcha. Yeah, so Deadpool is not on there,
but Wolverine is the Lady DEADPOOLO.
Speaker 3 (26:29):
Is on there.
Speaker 1 (26:31):
That's nice.
Speaker 2 (26:33):
Who runs where? So? Uh we talked about those Halloween costumes. Yes,
what else looks really crazy and weird and looks like
a costume, but I guess was actually a robot Optimus. Yeah, yeah, yep,
(26:55):
I've got big concerns.
Speaker 1 (26:59):
I do well. I do too to a point, I
think AI. So what we're talking about is Optimists Elon
musk Tesla. They are developing a robot called Optimists, and
it's supposed to be like a in your house all
the time on help you do everything, mow your grass,
(27:20):
help you do dishes, laundry. It's like your personal companion robot.
It's like C three po from Star Wars. For all
my Star Wars nerds.
Speaker 2 (27:29):
If you know the movie I Robot.
Speaker 1 (27:30):
Yes, exactly exactly. It's supposed to be that where it's
essentially like a family member. And they had an event
I think it's been like two weeks now, and they
showed it off and it's it looks a lot like
I Robot. Even the bus that it rode in on,
(27:53):
like those things rode in on to start walking around,
it looked like I Robot. And I don't know if
that is that a Is that wise branding or is
that unwise branding? Because I Robot is an apocalyptic type movie.
Speaker 2 (28:06):
I think it's wise because people are gonna say it anyways. Right,
people are gonna say it anyway, so why not lean
into it.
Speaker 1 (28:11):
Well, is a known sci fi nerd. I mean he
loves that stuff like Starship. But I don't know.
Speaker 2 (28:22):
I think branding wise, it was a smart decision. But overall,
I mean, you're gonna have those thoughts anyways. You're gonna
say that it looks like I Robot, that this feels
like I Robot, that it's similar to an I Robot situation.
What's gonna happen? Right, the whole idea of Terminator, the
whole idea of all these other AI has gone wrong. Right,
(28:42):
You're gonna say it anyways. You're gonna draw those conclusions,
lean into it. But the actual I think it was
either the movie creator or the director of I Robot
said can I get my designs back to Elon? I
thought it was funny.
Speaker 1 (28:56):
I mean, I don't I see. I diss agree with that.
And the reason why I disagree with that is because
the robot itself is designed to look human. It's like, okay,
then you need to go talk to God and give
his designs back. I mean, that's stupid.
Speaker 2 (29:15):
No, I just thought it was funny.
Speaker 1 (29:16):
Bus the bus thing. I will say though, it did
look very similar to the transport in Eye robot. But
the robots themselves, it's like you're trying to make them
human looking so that people accept them. You can't make
it look like something with razor blade. Yes, I mean,
you got to make it look friendly so people will
(29:37):
buy it. But it's supposed to be what twenty to
thirty thousand bucks, I think, so he.
Speaker 2 (29:42):
Thinks that people everyday people can afford them and have
them in their home.
Speaker 1 (29:46):
Yeah. I don't know about that. That's it's a lot
of money. But I think if it's the value that
you can get out of one of them things, if
it's as good, yeah, I'm sure you could. You could
probably do pretty it would be worth the money. I
think if it did what it was supposed to do,
I don't know, but you're going to talk about them
(30:11):
being remoted. Yeah, so.
Speaker 2 (30:16):
I guess it was supposed to come across right that
these robots, the Optimist robot was being it was integrated
with AI.
Speaker 1 (30:27):
It was mingling amongst the crowd with no human intervention.
That's what the idea was behind the uh this this presentation, right.
Speaker 2 (30:37):
That's what they said. But in actuality, it was actually
being piloted, is what people are coming to believe.
Speaker 1 (30:45):
Well, it wasn't being so the robots themselves. They were
walking themselves. Yes, that was AI. The other stuff was
a human assisted Yes.
Speaker 2 (30:58):
The interaction between people, like people could order drinks and
the robot would give it, but they would actually talk
right like okay, well what do you have? Well, we
have this, this and this. That was actually somebody I
don't know.
Speaker 1 (31:11):
I don't know, because there was a word that somebody
kept saying to it, and it kept stumbling over the
word and it was like a basic word. I don't
know what it was. But yeah. But also the other
thing that lends more evidence against it being like a
real AI robot rummaging and socializing amongst the crowd. Tesla
(31:37):
just got caught speeding up a video of Optimists doing
things in the factory. I think so it made it
look like it was like super efficient. I'm like, come on, man,
I love Elon and I think he's doing awesome stuff,
but I don't think this is nearly as close to
being ready as they're selling it. I know they have
(31:58):
to do this shit for investors, right, absolutely, it's it
looks fake as fuck.
Speaker 2 (32:04):
Yeah, And I mean I like you said, I get
it right. They're close, they're getting close, but they're probably
not as close as they're trying to make us believe.
Speaker 1 (32:12):
Well, I think Elon's biggest thing is technology expands and
evolves quickly, yes, like exponentially. Once you do one thing,
it like triples the next step or whatever, you know.
And I think that's his idea. But he's been promising
self driving cars since I can't remember, it's been years. Yeah,
(32:38):
we're still not there yet.
Speaker 2 (32:40):
Yeah, although the taxis that they had as part of
this event as well. Yeah, but that was such a
right It was almost like on a track.
Speaker 1 (32:47):
It was. It was that. I think it was at
Universal Studios, so it was in a contained environment. It
wasn't like driving on a city street with real traffic,
real on certainty of human drivers, people walking out in
front of you, stuff like that. It looks cool and
I do hope it comes true me too, because driving
(33:11):
is one of the most dangerous things you can do
as a person. You can get killed like nothing. And
if we can take that control away from people and
put it into somebody's somebody a robot's hand that can
actually like do a bajillion process as a second and
(33:31):
notice things or even they all communicate to each other.
Speaker 2 (33:34):
And you'd rather drive than fly.
Speaker 3 (33:36):
I can't with you, I can't.
Speaker 1 (33:37):
I can't fly, man, I don't.
Speaker 2 (33:39):
Know, getting off shopping, But the overarching idea of one
of these robots, would you have one?
Speaker 1 (33:45):
And yeah, I mean I wouldn't pay thirty thousand dollars
for it unless I was rich, but I'd have one.
Are you looking at me like that? For you because
of the uprising?
Speaker 2 (33:58):
That is a huge difference between us then, because I
don't know if I could get around having that thing
in our house.
Speaker 1 (34:05):
You you say that so weird. You say that until
that motherfucker folds laundry.
Speaker 2 (34:10):
Well, like if you think about it, I mean, but
if you about it like we've had you know, the Alexa,
We've had the Google, We've had the I Home, like
all of the things.
Speaker 1 (34:22):
Right, you had to look around and our devices are listening.
Speaker 2 (34:26):
But you've had all those things in the house and
a lot of people don't like them, right because they're intrusive,
They are always listening. They're whatever.
Speaker 1 (34:33):
Yeah, but these are the same people that carry around
a smartphone.
Speaker 2 (34:38):
True, but they are tiny, right, they are small. They're
almost like not noticeable unless you know they're in the
house and then you say the name and then it
does the thing, right, so they're not intrusive. You're talking
about having something that almost moves and acts like another human, yeah,
in your house, right, but if it can, if it
(35:00):
gives you that much benefit, But it doesn't have personality,
Like I'm sure you could probably have conversations with it
because it's.
Speaker 1 (35:08):
AI right, and I recommend people listening try either Gemini
Live well, use Gemini Live if you have an Android phone.
That was mind blowing to me.
Speaker 2 (35:19):
I just I don't think I would be able to
get over that hump of having something that's almost like
taking up a whole space as another person.
Speaker 1 (35:28):
But that's a generational thing too. You got to think
people like us, we're hesitant, but people like our.
Speaker 2 (35:35):
Kid or her kid one day.
Speaker 1 (35:37):
Yeah, or her kid, Like if this comes out while
our kid is still young, you'll get used to it quick.
And then her kids though that's what they have in
their house. It's normal jets Yeah, like like oh hey,
optimist is mowing the lawn. Imagine walking, imagine driving through
your neighborhood, and y'all, use is a bunch of Optimists
(36:01):
outside Mono Grass the well. They wave at you when
you drive, hey, and they're like, I was up rich.
Speaker 2 (36:08):
No, I don't know. I feel weird about that one.
Speaker 1 (36:12):
I don't. Yeah. And then and then you have your
rogue AI that goes.
Speaker 2 (36:17):
In there and it kills everybody.
Speaker 1 (36:19):
Yeah, they're already in your house, you're sleeping. Any that
they're not, I don't they have it. I mean, Amazon's
got the astro that's super basic, but it still knows
how to navigate through your house. You've seen that, right,
Like the mobile Alexa.
Speaker 2 (36:35):
Thing not in here? Okay, all right. So we talked
about some strange things today. As far as that robot
goes in, my opinion is stranger. Can't wrap my head
around it. But I wanted to end today with what
is the strangest compliment you have ever thought about giving me?
I found this question. I found this question from like
(36:59):
a couple, like not a therapy couple's book. Couples, like
I said, like how to stay connected with your partner? Right,
And one of these questions. So what's the strangest compliment
you ever thought about giving me. I'll give you a minute.
I've got mine. You're a good cuddler and.
Speaker 1 (37:20):
That's not strange though, But how is that a strange
that's a normal compliment. How is that strange?
Speaker 2 (37:28):
The other one was, you're really good at laser hair removal.
Speaker 1 (37:32):
That's strange. That is strange.
Speaker 2 (37:35):
Good job on my laser hair removal. We got the
bronze device at home and it's working really well. You
do do a very good job at it.
Speaker 1 (37:43):
That's to see. That's strange. But good cuddler, that's not strange.
Speaker 2 (37:46):
That's well, I'm gonna be nice.
Speaker 1 (37:48):
Okay. I don't know. You're really good at folding.
Speaker 2 (37:54):
Clothes, but you want to replace me with optimists?

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.
