In this episode, we dive into a series of humorous and engaging conversations. We start with a surprise appearance by our cat and share funny anecdotes about hiccups and sneezes. The discussion then shifts to our daughter's amusing sayings, such as calling a hornet 'sharp' and referring to toes as 'toe fingers.' We also recount a fishing trip where a gator steals our daughter's first bass. The conversation transitions to more serious topics, such as debating the appropriateness of Halloween decorations and the new sport of Power Slap versus UFC. We wrap up with excitement for upcoming shows like 'Yellowstone' and 'Squid Games,' fall fishing, and our voting experiences. Finally, we invite listeners to join us on Instagram to play Emoji Pong, adding a fun interactive element to the episode.

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):
I'm a visitor. As soon as I've clicked the record button,
he decides to show up. He doesn't love us until
we decide to do something. So hello, you don't want
to Okay?
Speaker 2 (00:32):
How often do you get hiccups?
Speaker 1 (00:34):
I don't remember the last time I got hiccups.
Speaker 2 (00:37):
I am not five, so i'm five apparently because I
had hiccups twice in one day the other day.
Speaker 1 (00:44):
Yeah, I was pretty upset with you too that one time,
because I was sleeping and you decided to come barging
in the room while I'm sleeping with your loud hit.
It sounded like a demon was being exercised.
Speaker 2 (00:57):
I was taking a shower. It's on my bolt.
Speaker 1 (01:02):
I had hiccups. Well, go outside and use the hose.
Speaker 2 (01:05):
I will say that to you from now on. Every
time you sneeze, go outside and sneeze. Why not a
lot of sneeze in the house.
Speaker 1 (01:12):
Why because you're so loud. I am not loud. I'm
pretty sure my sneezes are standard sneezes. That's really hard
to say, are standard sneezes.
Speaker 2 (01:23):
That's pretty good I'm kind of proud of you. Well,
I think our daughter has had a.
Speaker 1 (01:27):
Couple of good Can you please say my sneezes are
standard sneezes before we move.
Speaker 2 (01:32):
I'm trying.
Speaker 1 (01:34):
I will not allow this.
Speaker 2 (01:35):
Say it again.
Speaker 1 (01:36):
My sneezes are standard sneezes.
Speaker 2 (01:37):
My sneezes are standard sneezes.
Speaker 1 (01:39):
That's pretty good. Okay, thanks, I'm proud of you, appreciate it.
Speaker 2 (01:42):
Moving on, daughter, this cat, Oh my god. Okay, so
our daughter has had quite a few iss recently that
we think we're pretty good.
Speaker 1 (01:54):
Yeah, yeah, yeah. So the other day she came home
from school and dropped her back back off and there
was a bug on it. It was a hornet or
a yellow jacket some something something that it has a stinger.
And she said, Daddy, come get that bug is sharp, And.
Speaker 2 (02:11):
She was in panic most she was in one hundred.
Speaker 1 (02:13):
Percent panic mode. But she said, come hurry, hurry, come
get the bug. It's sharp.
Speaker 2 (02:18):
She's been stung what three times by wasp at this point,
so she was in panic mode.
Speaker 1 (02:23):
Floria, sharp, get the sharp one? Who you laughed so hard?
A sharp bug? That was the first time I ever
heard it. But it makes a lot of sense because
they do a lot of stabby stabs.
Speaker 2 (02:34):
And then we were tracing her foot or doing something
with her, and she goes, but my toe fingers are squished.
Speaker 1 (02:42):
My toe fingers. I don't understand where she gets.
Speaker 2 (02:47):
I guess just toes.
Speaker 1 (02:48):
Toes, that's what they are. They're not toe fingers. Monkeys
have toes individual one.
Speaker 2 (02:56):
You know, it translates to your fingers. No, okay, all right,
well she alle toes. But like, if you're trying to
talk about a specific toe, don't you say my pointer toe.
It's a finger pointer finger.
Speaker 1 (03:09):
Pointer toe, that's yeah, but you don't say finger. Okay,
you don't say pointer toe finger I mean kind of no.
Speaker 2 (03:18):
Okay, Well, what are those shoes? Those shoes five finger shoes.
Speaker 1 (03:22):
Yeah, but that's just branding.
Speaker 2 (03:24):
Well, so what they call it that five finger?
Speaker 1 (03:28):
Please? He wants to talk now, I know it. If
you're not watching on video, this cat is rubbing my microphone.
He loves us kind of only when he wants to,
and right now is not a good time, but he
wants to.
Speaker 2 (03:46):
But we also took her out fishing the other night.
Speaker 1 (03:48):
Yeah, yeah, that was fun.
Speaker 2 (03:50):
And if you check out our talk Instagram, all the
things our socials. You get to see her really not
a bass.
Speaker 1 (03:57):
Her first ever bass, and surprise, a gator snuck out
from underneath the dock and stole it right off the hook.
Speaker 2 (04:07):
I had didn't even get to take it out the water.
Speaker 1 (04:10):
I had to cut the line because that gator had
swallowed all of it. I was pissed and then well, no,
he had a little nice little snack. But there was
people out there and they were like, oh my god.
You know people people freak out over gators in Florida.
I don't understand it.
Speaker 2 (04:28):
Well, people who are not native. Yeah, getting whacked with
the cat.
Speaker 1 (04:31):
Tail, yes, but it was crazy because it was underneath
where we were fishing. So we're fishing on this dock,
so we didn't know it was there. And she's reeling
in the fish doing a really good job. The fish
is jumping. I'm recording a video watching my baby's first
bast and that's some of decided to sneak outside of
(04:55):
the out of the dock and boom, stole that fish.
I could believe it.
Speaker 2 (05:00):
They cracked us up though, because her reaction, she she
drops the poles as Nope, I'm out not dealing with that. Gator.
Speaker 1 (05:07):
No, that's an expensive fish and pole. Don't drop it.
Speaker 2 (05:11):
It was hilarious, though. I had a thought the other day,
I need I need you to weigh in here. No,
how do you what order do you put your clothes on?
Speaker 1 (05:22):
I don't think it matters, I think honestly, because I
don't like to put well, obviously you put underwear on first,
which doesn't matter. But aside from underwear, it doesn't matter.
Speaker 2 (05:36):
It really does.
Speaker 1 (05:37):
No.
Speaker 2 (05:38):
No, I mean I'm the one with OCD.
Speaker 1 (05:40):
I don't.
Speaker 2 (05:41):
I'm the one telling you it matters.
Speaker 1 (05:42):
I don't wear socks, okay, so it's underwear. And then
because I live off of a pile of laundry, I'm
okay with that. Don't even judge me. Don't judge me.
But I live off a pile of laundry. So whatever's
on top, I put that on first. So if it's
a shirt on the top, I'm putting shirt on. If
it's pants on the top, I'm putting the pants on first.
(06:04):
That's how I live. It is perfectly fine. I am
not putting clothes into a specific organizational pattern because I'm
just gonna wear them and throw them in the laundry.
It's not happening.
Speaker 2 (06:15):
Putting them on your body. You don't have an order.
Speaker 1 (06:17):
No, it all depends on what the order that they're
in the pile that I am living.
Speaker 2 (06:23):
I can't, I can't like, I feel like no, like,
this is wrong on so many levels. It is against
the law at this point.
Speaker 1 (06:29):
No, it isn't you you.
Speaker 2 (06:31):
Can't not have an order. I tried the other day
to put on a piece of clothing out of order,
and it felt so wrong. My whole day was messed up.
Speaker 1 (06:41):
So I will say though, no, no, no, I got no. No.
It has nothing to do with clothes. But I do
brush my teeth in a certain order. That's not funny,
you know.
Speaker 2 (06:53):
It's clothes in a certain order, brushing your teeth in
a certain order.
Speaker 1 (06:56):
Did you know how particular I am about brushing, about
brushing my teeth. I am about to be thirty six, right,
My birthday is in November, and I am about to
be thirty six. And I have not once had a cavity,
not once, And I don't know ever. I mean, because
I'm thirty six and I don't have a cavity. I
do not want to break that streak. And I we
(07:20):
use oralb brushes, which are the little spinny head ones
like my little spinny head, and they have these thirty
second timers that you do your quadrants on. I always
start with my bottom left and then I go bottom right,
then I go top left, and then top right, always
in that order every time. If I don't do it,
I gotta start over get it. Oh brush my teeth
(07:42):
for twenty minutes. If I have to to get it right,
I can't.
Speaker 2 (07:46):
There's no way that that bothers you that much.
Speaker 1 (07:50):
It bothers me that much.
Speaker 2 (07:51):
Okay, So as a female, right, we have underwear, we
have a bra, we have a pants, we have a shirt. Right,
you have a pants, we have a pants. If I
don't do the bottom first and top second, I feel
completely miscombobulated.
Speaker 1 (08:04):
I don't understand that. See, I feel like you got
to put on your undergarments first. Obviously. No, it's wait
wait wait wait. So you're saying you put your undies
on and then you put on your pants. Yes, so
you can't put your undies and your braw on at
the same time.
Speaker 2 (08:21):
You mean, like undy's first, bra second. No, that's out
of order. It's bottom.
Speaker 1 (08:25):
I don't I don't understand this.
Speaker 2 (08:27):
Well, I tried it the other day to put my
bra and then my shirt on first. It was wrong.
It's wrong. It felt wrong.
Speaker 1 (08:36):
Yeah, I don't. I truthfully don't care what order I
put them on in.
Speaker 2 (08:42):
Like I said, teeth matter, Yes, okay, but I have to.
Speaker 1 (08:46):
But I have no cavities as a thirty six year old.
Speaker 2 (08:50):
Yet, because it is just after Halloween and and we
have a lot of freaking candy.
Speaker 1 (08:56):
Yes, but I will brush my teeth in order and
they will be perfectly fine. So there.
Speaker 2 (09:02):
Well, we took our daughter and our nephews and a
bunch of neighborhood kids around and they did really well
as far as getting candy. But our little stem of
the neighborhood, because of the hurricane, still doesn't have street lights,
so it just seemed like nobody came to our house.
It was candy.
Speaker 1 (09:17):
I'm not gonna lie those kind of nice.
Speaker 2 (09:19):
I'm sure it was. I was walking with the kids.
Speaker 1 (09:22):
I got to set out, I got to sat out,
I got to sit outside and just chill, and I
did fly my drone. I flew my drone over the
neighborhood and it's pretty cool seeing all the kids running
up and down the streets and all that stuff, and
it was wild.
Speaker 2 (09:34):
It was busy, but on the lighted part of the yeah, yeah, yeah,
it was very busy.
Speaker 1 (09:39):
We live in a cul de sac, so our cul
de sac was pitch black except for our house. Really
we had one blow up decoration. That is our extent
of decoration for Halloween as one.
Speaker 2 (09:51):
Blow up decorately pumpkins. We didn't get pumpkins this year.
Speaker 1 (09:53):
It's so it's hard in Florida. You have to get
them like the day of.
Speaker 2 (09:56):
Because we still get them for Thanksgiving.
Speaker 1 (09:59):
And thirty Seve sends them. Things melt true and bugs everywhere.
There's a lot of bugs. But I sat outside for
about a half hour and I got swarmed with mosquitoes.
Speaker 2 (10:11):
I'm sure you did.
Speaker 1 (10:12):
It was unbelievable. I was pissed.
Speaker 2 (10:15):
Well, you talked about our one blow up decoration. But
there was some people who like their whole house is
done up almost like what you would expect for Christmas,
right with all the lights and all the fixtures and
all the bloats and all the It was pretty good.
In our neighborhood, there's a.
Speaker 1 (10:29):
Group of people that open their entire house.
Speaker 2 (10:32):
Up right to do the Haunted house, the lady.
Speaker 1 (10:37):
House.
Speaker 2 (10:39):
It's crazy. But I guess there's this viral thing going
around right now where some lady had a decoration in
her yard, and I guess it was very gruesome. Looked
like a murder scene.
Speaker 1 (10:52):
I think I've seen that.
Speaker 2 (10:53):
Yeah, And I guess the cops were called because it
was too much, too gruesome. They wanted the neighbors, wanted
it taken down. Lady did take it down. But how
much is too much decre like, let's stick with Halloween specifically,
how much is too much decor or Halloween.
Speaker 1 (11:09):
I don't think it was too much. I just think
it was if it's graphic. You don't want to walk
outside and see graphic stuff.
Speaker 2 (11:17):
Well, it's not your cup of tea, but it's my yard.
Speaker 1 (11:20):
I understand that. But you can't show. You can't go
outside naked and stand in your yard.
Speaker 2 (11:29):
Okay, Okay, I see where you're going, So.
Speaker 1 (11:32):
You shouldn't really be shown. Somebody's shanking up somebody else
in your fucking yard. Well, but it's Halloween, though, No,
it doesn't give you a free past to be a
crazy person.
Speaker 2 (11:44):
But Halloween is all about scare and horror, right, that's
the point. And purpose.
Speaker 1 (11:49):
It's also about giving kids, letting kids run around in
costumes and have candy, so you have to also think
about the young'uns. And I don't think that you should
have blood everywhere and make it look like some gruesome
murder scene outside of your house. That's a little bit much.
Speaker 2 (12:08):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (12:08):
Now, now if you do set it up like this
neighborhood couple here, and you have it to where you
have to go inside to see that stuff, Okay, it's
your choice at that point, but outside nobody you can't
not see it.
Speaker 2 (12:24):
I understand what you're saying. But at the same time,
it's her yard. Mm.
Speaker 1 (12:28):
Yeah, well so you're giving permission to pedophiles to go
outside and be in their yard, but naked.
Speaker 2 (12:34):
Whoa, you went way left there?
Speaker 1 (12:38):
Friends, Well, that's but you're you can't you can't say
one's okay and not the other because but.
Speaker 2 (12:44):
It's totally different. You are comparing pedophiles to decorations.
Speaker 1 (12:50):
Yeah, well, murder scene is a murder scene, and seeing
someone naked is seeing someone naked. That neither one is appropriate,
is what I'm trying to say.
Speaker 2 (13:01):
Okay, that's very extreme.
Speaker 1 (13:05):
Yeah, but that's what you're this lady had a murder
scene in her yard, but.
Speaker 2 (13:09):
It wasn't like the dead body is shown like it was.
You know, there was blood, like fake blood. So people
do that on their doors all the time, like do
not enter and there's bloody handprints, Like that's a thing?
Is that too much? No?
Speaker 1 (13:22):
Yeah, but you're talking see that's it's totally different. You're
talking about there's a body.
Speaker 2 (13:29):
There right, uh one, yes, yeah.
Speaker 1 (13:33):
With blood all over it?
Speaker 2 (13:35):
Fake? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (13:39):
Did you really kill somebody? Put them there?
Speaker 2 (13:41):
I'm just clarifying, making sure we're on the same page.
Speaker 1 (13:44):
That's not appropriate for these little kids that are running
around getting candy.
Speaker 2 (13:48):
So a skeleton in dirt is not appropriate.
Speaker 1 (13:52):
No, that's fine because it's it's fine as long as
it's not like somebody murdering, Like does the skeleton have
a sword sticking out of its eye? I don't know.
I can't. You can't. You can't do that shit. If
you can't, if it's not appropriate for, you know, especially
(14:17):
the younger crowd, then you probably shouldn't have it.
Speaker 2 (14:20):
Agree to disagree on that. That is a differing of
opinions there and here at Unfiltered Union, we're allowed to
do that.
Speaker 1 (14:26):
You can your opinion.
Speaker 2 (14:27):
I can have mine, But what I'm saying is it's
my yard. I will do what I want. However, if
neighbors come together and ask me to take it down
they think it's too much, that's my right to either
agree or disagree, and either take action or not.
Speaker 1 (14:45):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (14:47):
Good job, we are differing opinions and we're moving on.
Speaker 1 (14:52):
No. Oh, no, I don't know. I don't like it
because I don't truthfully, I don't want our kids seeing that. Well,
she's already timid, timid, right, But there.
Speaker 2 (15:06):
Are other kids like our nephew, who has watched Scream
at this point, who has watched other things that probably
aren't necessarily age appropriate, but he can handle it, and
he enjoys that kind of thing, like right. He likes
the suspense of it. He likes. That's just what he enjoys,
and that's okay. So to him it might not be
a big deal. To our daughter it might.
Speaker 1 (15:27):
And how old is the nephew, just so everyone hears it,
he is six years old, shouldn't be watching Scream.
Speaker 2 (15:33):
Not our choice, not But he can handle it though
it's the difference, and.
Speaker 1 (15:39):
He find out.
Speaker 2 (15:43):
It doesn't bother him, like it would our kid.
Speaker 1 (15:45):
Oh my gosh, I don't know. I don't like it period.
I don't keep their innocence for as long as possible.
Speaker 2 (15:53):
Now I can agree with that, but again differing of personalities.
Speaker 1 (15:57):
I agree, but I want our kids, our kid to
keep to stay a kid as long as possible.
Speaker 2 (16:04):
I agree. However, going back to the idea of you know,
neighbors coming together and saying, hey, too much, take it down?
She did and that was her choice, right, there was
no slap down. How do you feel about the new
sport coming out for power slaps.
Speaker 1 (16:19):
It's not new, is it?
Speaker 2 (16:20):
Well, no, not brand new, but.
Speaker 1 (16:22):
I think it's dumb. I mean, if you want to
watch it, I think it's funny to watch. I just
don't know how they have the whole sport dedicated to Yeah,
it seems kind of silly to me.
Speaker 2 (16:35):
Well, what's interesting to me is it doesn't seem like
it's based on training, if you will, I don't know,
Maybe maybe it is. Maybe I'm completely I don't know,
ignorant in the sport, But it doesn't seem like a
person who is big, large heavyweight has an advantage over
someone who is maybe smaller than them because how hard
(16:59):
you slap doesn't isn't dependent exactly on their their size,
Because I've seen I have seen slap these power slap
videos where smaller individuals can slap just as hard and
knock somebody out who's bigger than them. Yeah, but it's
one shot. You get one shot.
Speaker 1 (17:20):
A big person is all just naturally stronger than a
smaller person. That is not true too, It is too,
It is not. I have a friend that is a
very large individual. He would a thousand percent out bench
(17:40):
press me.
Speaker 2 (17:42):
But what I'm saying is a slap.
Speaker 1 (17:44):
Because one push up, one pushing up a bench press
is the same as doing this and slap can I finish?
Speaker 2 (17:52):
So one slap you have to get it in the
right spot right in order to knock that person out.
Otherwise you miss your one chance. Now they have a
chance and they can knock you out. So the difference
is instead of being in a ring and just throwing
punches all day, you get one shot and if you
aren't exactly right on that shot, then you don't get
(18:14):
to knock that person out.
Speaker 1 (18:16):
But do you think a big person can punch harder
than a smaller person?
Speaker 2 (18:22):
Do I think a bigger person can punch harder than
a smaller person. Yes, uh, yes, the bigger person would
punch harder than a smaller person.
Speaker 1 (18:30):
Okay, So a bigger person would have an advantage in
power slap if.
Speaker 2 (18:35):
They get it right, is what I'm trying to say.
Speaker 1 (18:38):
Okay, but because.
Speaker 2 (18:40):
In the ring you don't get a breathing chance, right,
like you are constantly throwing hands, whereas in power slap
you get one slap, and if they are better than
your one slap, you're going down.
Speaker 1 (18:52):
If my big friend power slapped me, I would be
on the first man on Mars.
Speaker 2 (18:59):
But if they.
Speaker 1 (19:00):
Didn't land it right, I would be the first man
on the moon.
Speaker 2 (19:05):
But you have a hard head. So my point is.
Speaker 1 (19:08):
That I'd be fine, but I would knock you.
Speaker 2 (19:12):
Out your turn, and you may be able to a.
Speaker 1 (19:15):
Long distance hit him from the moon.
Speaker 2 (19:20):
The point I'm trying to make here in this whole discussion,
do you think it's good, bad, or neutral for the UFC?
Speaker 1 (19:27):
I don't know. There's a lot of social media buzz
about it, so I don't doubt that it's a net
positive or they wouldn't do it well.
Speaker 2 (19:35):
I mean, you know, for Dana White, right, the creator
he's he's golden. But when it comes to the actual
sport of USC versus power slap, it seems like online
on a lot of these power slap posts, people are
saying like, I don't want anything to do with power
slap because it's hurting the sport of UFC. I don't
(19:55):
exactly get that.
Speaker 1 (19:57):
I don't know. I mean, it's I see a lot
of highlight videos and I do watch those. I'm not
gonna lie, and I laugh my ass off just about
every time because it is funny. But do I think
it is it hurts. I don't think so. I don't know.
I mean, I guess some people can see it as
(20:18):
kind of an unskilled version of whatever. A competition like
UFC you have to be skilled power slap. I still
think you have to be skilled. You have to hit
them square in the dome piece right you can and
stay awake. But hm, I don't obviously, I don't think
it's as skilled as somebody in the UFC. I don't know.
(20:42):
I think it's dumb. But do I think it hurts
the UFC? Probably not.
Speaker 2 (20:48):
Yeah, I don't know either. I don't know if I
think it hurts the UFC or not. I think I'm
neutral on it. I think they're there separate sports at
this point.
Speaker 1 (20:55):
Yeah, I don't. Honestly, I don't consider power slap a sport.
Speaker 2 (20:59):
Yeah, it's not having you know, big names from the
UFC move over to the other side. You know, so
two separate sports and let them go, you know, pick
a ball versus tennis.
Speaker 1 (21:08):
Stop it.
Speaker 2 (21:12):
Our Benny Cat, just move the mic. What's your attention?
Speaker 1 (21:16):
Yeah, it's not the right time.
Speaker 2 (21:18):
Talk to him. Okay, So I wanted to talk about
three upcoming things that we're excited for because I've got
a list. You ready, sure, Yellowstone, We've got Well, let
me back up all new releases that are coming out.
I'm so excited. This is the time of year where
all the new stuff is coming out. I'm so excited
Yellowstone is coming back November tenth. Oh so excited Squid
(21:43):
Games for season two. Just drop the official trailer and
it's coming out in December. Do you hear me?
Speaker 1 (21:49):
I'm trying. I do, and I will watch that one. Yellowstone.
Speaker 2 (21:52):
I'm eh, no, you never watched it.
Speaker 1 (21:55):
I know, but I've watched a little bit of it.
That's just a little too far fetched to me.
Speaker 2 (21:58):
Oh, I love it. It's so good. And then Wicked
the movie Wicked is.
Speaker 1 (22:02):
At the new Wizard of Oz type deal.
Speaker 2 (22:06):
Yeah, well it was a play.
Speaker 1 (22:07):
Uh no, I know, but it's based on Wizard of Oz.
Speaker 2 (22:10):
The Wicked Witch that comes out in a few weeks.
I'm so excited.
Speaker 1 (22:15):
Oh.
Speaker 2 (22:16):
But also Christmas Town at Busch Gardens is getting ready
to be in. I'm so excited, so excited. I'm not
going to be freezing my butt off walking around Bush Gardens.
It's going to be nice weather. We get to see
the Christmas lights. Get in the spirit.
Speaker 1 (22:29):
So if we're going to Christmas Town, I'm getting me
a mobility buggy. You do that, I'm not, I am serious,
I hear you.
Speaker 2 (22:37):
But then also for Christmas around the Tampa area, they
do the boat parade. Yes, that is one of my
favorite things for the Christmas season here in Tampa at Florida.
Speaker 1 (22:46):
It's a new tradition for us since moving here. We
used to go to a parade in our in Virginia
and Northern Virginia and it was frigid. We would be
miserable and we wanted to leave after about three minutes,
but we had to stay for the whole thing. Because
Santa came at the end and our kid, oh obviously
(23:07):
wants to see Santa, so we toughed it out.
Speaker 2 (23:10):
But now now Santa walks around and talks to everybody
while the boats go by.
Speaker 1 (23:14):
Well, and you're not freezing your ass off, right.
Speaker 2 (23:17):
It's like having a picnic.
Speaker 1 (23:18):
It's so funful. I love it is that was or
That is one of my favorite Christmas events that I
enjoy down here, for sure.
Speaker 2 (23:27):
I'm so excited we're getting to that season. There's so
much coming up. It's going to be such fun. I'm
so ready.
Speaker 1 (23:34):
Okay, yes, because it is my turn now it is
so you said TV show, So I wanted to say
a TV show. I didn't write it in the list.
Speaker 2 (23:43):
You're going off script.
Speaker 1 (23:44):
Our cane is coming out. The second is the second season, second,
and it's the last season, which sucks, but they're closing
up the story and they're closing it up as far
as I know, in only three episodes.
Speaker 2 (23:58):
Only three episodes for the season.
Speaker 1 (23:59):
Yeah, but there. It kind of makes me mad too
because Netflix is releasing them like two weeks apart or
something like that.
Speaker 2 (24:05):
I'm like, I'm just it better be moving movie length then, yeah, No.
Speaker 1 (24:09):
But I feel like I'm just gonna wait till they're
all out to watch, so that I'm not waiting two
weeks in between. But that's coming out. I'm very excited
about that. That is my nerd card showing. But even
if you don't like video games and it's about Legal legends,
it's a legal legends show. But even if you don't
like video games, it's a really good animated TV show.
Speaker 2 (24:33):
Okay, well go back to your script of other three things.
Hello and Google's talking. Sorry.
Speaker 1 (24:41):
So my other thing is fall fishing in Florida is
real nice because it's not super hot to where you're
dying sweating well and sunburning, but it's cooler and the
fish I think the fish bite more down here because
they're kind of chipper, you know, like our dog. And
(25:06):
then my last one, My last thing that I'm looking
forward to is voting. I am excited to vote on Tuesday.
And the reason why I am voting on Tuesday is
because my kiddo wants me to take her with me
and I'm excited to show her the cluster that voting is.
Speaker 2 (25:25):
Yeah, I oh, I didn't put my voting sticker on.
I went and voted today because my work week doesn't
allow me to leave the house pretty much the entire day.
Speaker 1 (25:36):
And just just for reference, today is Friday before voting day.
Speaker 2 (25:40):
Yes, but this is your unal reminder to get out
and vote. Don't care how you vote, just do your thing.
We hear at Unfiltered Union. I have our own opinions
and will not sway you one way or the other.
Just remembered to get out and vote. It's important. But
I wanted to tell you a story. So I went
and voted today.
Speaker 1 (26:00):
And it was a madhouse.
Speaker 2 (26:02):
Let me just be it was insane. It's at a
local library and it seems like those are the places
right now for early voting in the Tampa area. So
I went, rush dropped me off, and the line's out
the door and it's probably a good what two hundred
yard line at this point, that's a.
Speaker 1 (26:21):
Bit much, but okay, it's a long line though.
Speaker 2 (26:26):
Okay, well I say two hundred yards. You gauge it
however you want.
Speaker 1 (26:29):
It's from here to Mars.
Speaker 2 (26:32):
You got slapped, okay. So the line is real long
going through the line, and there's the individuals who are
the poll monitors, if you will, and they make sure
you know, line stays orderly, moves through, goes quick. Well,
this one gentleman, and he had to have been older,
I would say, in his eighties.
Speaker 1 (26:50):
A lot of those polling officials usually do that as
volunteer because they're bored.
Speaker 2 (26:54):
Yeah, well in Florida is a retiree state.
Speaker 1 (26:57):
And yeah, and the price is right was off by
then anyway.
Speaker 2 (27:01):
So he's going through the line. Lady in front of
me has her sixteen year old daughter, and the man
comes up to the sixteen year old daughter and says, oh,
what are you doing here? You look like you're too
young to vote. And the girl goes, oh, i'm here
with my mom. Just came back from an appointment. I'll
I'm here moral support, that's what she said, thank you.
(27:23):
And the gentleman said, oh, well, shouldn't you be in school?
And she goes, oh, I'll probably go to school, you know,
after this, just here with my mom. And the gentleman said,
I don't understand your generation to this young girl. And
I'm just looking at him like she's here to learn
about her civic duty.
Speaker 1 (27:40):
Yeah, I don't know, it's none of your business.
Speaker 2 (27:41):
First, it used to be a thing though, when we
were kids. Like to go with your parents to the
polling booth and watch them vote. I remember doing it
with my dad when I was young.
Speaker 1 (27:51):
Yeah, I did it, and I remember being bored.
Speaker 2 (27:53):
To death, right and watch them go in and oh,
back then it was those tick things. Do you remember that?
Speaker 1 (27:58):
Yeah, it was like a on a hole. Once you
pulled that big lever. Man pulling that lever though, it's like,
what's gonna happen because it was like twelve feet it
was a long pool.
Speaker 2 (28:10):
But back then it was a thing. You go, you
saw your parents do it, and I don't know, I
feel like it should still be a thing, right.
Speaker 1 (28:18):
That's why when our kiddo asked, can I go with
you to vote? I said, yes, of course.
Speaker 2 (28:24):
Right, so you haven't voted yet. You'll go on Tuesday
during the Mad House. Wow, it's gonna be crazy, Like
if the lines are this long.
Speaker 1 (28:31):
Now, I'm blessed to work from home, so I can
kind of hopefully skip a lot of the traffic and
go in after everyone goes to work, go in during
the middle of the day, So hopefully that helps, But
if not, I don't care. It'll be a fun experience
for her to see and kind of I'll let her
help me fill out the scantron.
Speaker 2 (28:52):
She's familiar with us.
Speaker 1 (28:53):
Yes, unfortunately because of school it.
Speaker 2 (28:56):
She'll keep you entertained in the line too. Maybe she'll
give you some more isms to bring.
Speaker 1 (29:00):
Yeah, sharp bugs.
Speaker 2 (29:03):
So I wanted to also offer to anyone out there
who listens to our Unfiltered Union here. If you're on Instagram,
come over to our Instagram page, shoot us a message.
Let's play emoji pong.
Speaker 1 (29:17):
Oh yeah, that's fun. I can't stop.
Speaker 2 (29:19):
I'm addicted.
Speaker 1 (29:20):
Emoji pong is terrible.
Speaker 2 (29:21):
It is so much fun. So all you have to
do is send someone a message on Instagram a little emoji,
and then you get to play pong with the emoji
and see who gets the highest score and.
Speaker 1 (29:32):
It tallies it. I'm obsessed. It's messed up though. But
my first recommendation, though, is to pick one with a
really bright color because I try to smiley phase and
you can barely see it on the background. Makes it
almost impossible to play.
Speaker 2 (29:46):
Good tip.
Speaker 1 (29:47):
Yeah, it's life skills.
Speaker 2 (29:49):
Appreciate it. So head on over. Yeah, play emoji pong
with us?
Speaker 1 (29:55):
Yeah, do it. I'll play my high score right now?
Is what? Twenty three? All right? Love you.

Speaker 2 (00:08):
Here is this week's episode.
Speaker 1 (00:14):
I'm a visitor. As soon as I've clicked the record button,
he decides to show up. He doesn't love us until
we decide to do something. So hello, you don't want
to Okay?
Speaker 2 (00:32):
How often do you get hiccups?
Speaker 1 (00:34):
I don't remember the last time I got hiccups.
Speaker 2 (00:37):
I am not five, so i'm five apparently because I
had hiccups twice in one day the other day.
Speaker 1 (00:44):
Yeah, I was pretty upset with you too that one time,
because I was sleeping and you decided to come barging
in the room while I'm sleeping with your loud hit.
It sounded like a demon was being exercised.
Speaker 2 (00:57):
I was taking a shower. It's on my bolt.
Speaker 1 (01:02):
I had hiccups. Well, go outside and use the hose.
Speaker 2 (01:05):
I will say that to you from now on. Every
time you sneeze, go outside and sneeze. Why not a
lot of sneeze in the house.
Speaker 1 (01:12):
Why because you're so loud. I am not loud. I'm
pretty sure my sneezes are standard sneezes. That's really hard
to say, are standard sneezes.
Speaker 2 (01:23):
That's pretty good I'm kind of proud of you. Well,
I think our daughter has had a.
Speaker 1 (01:27):
Couple of good Can you please say my sneezes are
standard sneezes before we move.
Speaker 2 (01:32):
I'm trying.
Speaker 1 (01:34):
I will not allow this.
Speaker 2 (01:35):
Say it again.
Speaker 1 (01:36):
My sneezes are standard sneezes.
Speaker 2 (01:37):
My sneezes are standard sneezes.
Speaker 1 (01:39):
That's pretty good. Okay, thanks, I'm proud of you, appreciate it.
Speaker 2 (01:42):
Moving on, daughter, this cat, Oh my god. Okay, so
our daughter has had quite a few iss recently that
we think we're pretty good.
Speaker 1 (01:54):
Yeah, yeah, yeah. So the other day she came home
from school and dropped her back back off and there
was a bug on it. It was a hornet or
a yellow jacket some something something that it has a stinger.
And she said, Daddy, come get that bug is sharp, And.
Speaker 2 (02:11):
She was in panic most she was in one hundred.
Speaker 1 (02:13):
Percent panic mode. But she said, come hurry, hurry, come
get the bug. It's sharp.
Speaker 2 (02:18):
She's been stung what three times by wasp at this point,
so she was in panic mode.
Speaker 1 (02:23):
Floria, sharp, get the sharp one? Who you laughed so hard?
A sharp bug? That was the first time I ever
heard it. But it makes a lot of sense because
they do a lot of stabby stabs.
Speaker 2 (02:34):
And then we were tracing her foot or doing something
with her, and she goes, but my toe fingers are squished.
Speaker 1 (02:42):
My toe fingers. I don't understand where she gets.
Speaker 2 (02:47):
I guess just toes.
Speaker 1 (02:48):
Toes, that's what they are. They're not toe fingers. Monkeys
have toes individual one.
Speaker 2 (02:56):
You know, it translates to your fingers. No, okay, all right,
well she alle toes. But like, if you're trying to
talk about a specific toe, don't you say my pointer toe.
It's a finger pointer finger.
Speaker 1 (03:09):
Pointer toe, that's yeah, but you don't say finger. Okay,
you don't say pointer toe finger I mean kind of no.
Speaker 2 (03:18):
Okay, Well, what are those shoes? Those shoes five finger shoes.
Speaker 1 (03:22):
Yeah, but that's just branding.
Speaker 2 (03:24):
Well, so what they call it that five finger?
Speaker 1 (03:28):
Please? He wants to talk now, I know it. If
you're not watching on video, this cat is rubbing my microphone.
He loves us kind of only when he wants to,
and right now is not a good time, but he
wants to.
Speaker 2 (03:46):
But we also took her out fishing the other night.
Speaker 1 (03:48):
Yeah, yeah, that was fun.
Speaker 2 (03:50):
And if you check out our talk Instagram, all the
things our socials. You get to see her really not
a bass.
Speaker 1 (03:57):
Her first ever bass, and surprise, a gator snuck out
from underneath the dock and stole it right off the hook.
Speaker 2 (04:07):
I had didn't even get to take it out the water.
Speaker 1 (04:10):
I had to cut the line because that gator had
swallowed all of it. I was pissed and then well, no,
he had a little nice little snack. But there was
people out there and they were like, oh my god.
You know people people freak out over gators in Florida.
I don't understand it.
Speaker 2 (04:28):
Well, people who are not native. Yeah, getting whacked with
the cat.
Speaker 1 (04:31):
Tail, yes, but it was crazy because it was underneath
where we were fishing. So we're fishing on this dock,
so we didn't know it was there. And she's reeling
in the fish doing a really good job. The fish
is jumping. I'm recording a video watching my baby's first
bast and that's some of decided to sneak outside of
(04:55):
the out of the dock and boom, stole that fish.
I could believe it.
Speaker 2 (05:00):
They cracked us up though, because her reaction, she she
drops the poles as Nope, I'm out not dealing with that. Gator.
Speaker 1 (05:07):
No, that's an expensive fish and pole. Don't drop it.
Speaker 2 (05:11):
It was hilarious, though. I had a thought the other day,
I need I need you to weigh in here. No,
how do you what order do you put your clothes on?
Speaker 1 (05:22):
I don't think it matters, I think honestly, because I
don't like to put well, obviously you put underwear on first,
which doesn't matter. But aside from underwear, it doesn't matter.
Speaker 2 (05:36):
It really does.
Speaker 1 (05:37):
No.
Speaker 2 (05:38):
No, I mean I'm the one with OCD.
Speaker 1 (05:40):
I don't.
Speaker 2 (05:41):
I'm the one telling you it matters.
Speaker 1 (05:42):
I don't wear socks, okay, so it's underwear. And then
because I live off of a pile of laundry, I'm
okay with that. Don't even judge me. Don't judge me.
But I live off a pile of laundry. So whatever's
on top, I put that on first. So if it's
a shirt on the top, I'm putting shirt on. If
it's pants on the top, I'm putting the pants on first.
(06:04):
That's how I live. It is perfectly fine. I am
not putting clothes into a specific organizational pattern because I'm
just gonna wear them and throw them in the laundry.
It's not happening.
Speaker 2 (06:15):
Putting them on your body. You don't have an order.
Speaker 1 (06:17):
No, it all depends on what the order that they're
in the pile that I am living.
Speaker 2 (06:23):
I can't, I can't like, I feel like no, like,
this is wrong on so many levels. It is against
the law at this point.
Speaker 1 (06:29):
No, it isn't you you.
Speaker 2 (06:31):
Can't not have an order. I tried the other day
to put on a piece of clothing out of order,
and it felt so wrong. My whole day was messed up.
Speaker 1 (06:41):
So I will say though, no, no, no, I got no. No.
It has nothing to do with clothes. But I do
brush my teeth in a certain order. That's not funny,
you know.
Speaker 2 (06:53):
It's clothes in a certain order, brushing your teeth in
a certain order.
Speaker 1 (06:56):
Did you know how particular I am about brushing, about
brushing my teeth. I am about to be thirty six, right,
My birthday is in November, and I am about to
be thirty six. And I have not once had a cavity,
not once, And I don't know ever. I mean, because
I'm thirty six and I don't have a cavity. I
do not want to break that streak. And I we
(07:20):
use oralb brushes, which are the little spinny head ones
like my little spinny head, and they have these thirty
second timers that you do your quadrants on. I always
start with my bottom left and then I go bottom right,
then I go top left, and then top right, always
in that order every time. If I don't do it,
I gotta start over get it. Oh brush my teeth
(07:42):
for twenty minutes. If I have to to get it right,
I can't.
Speaker 2 (07:46):
There's no way that that bothers you that much.
Speaker 1 (07:50):
It bothers me that much.
Speaker 2 (07:51):
Okay, So as a female, right, we have underwear, we
have a bra, we have a pants, we have a shirt. Right,
you have a pants, we have a pants. If I
don't do the bottom first and top second, I feel
completely miscombobulated.
Speaker 1 (08:04):
I don't understand that. See, I feel like you got
to put on your undergarments first. Obviously. No, it's wait
wait wait wait. So you're saying you put your undies
on and then you put on your pants. Yes, so
you can't put your undies and your braw on at
the same time.
Speaker 2 (08:21):
You mean, like undy's first, bra second. No, that's out
of order. It's bottom.
Speaker 1 (08:25):
I don't I don't understand this.
Speaker 2 (08:27):
Well, I tried it the other day to put my
bra and then my shirt on first. It was wrong.
It's wrong. It felt wrong.
Speaker 1 (08:36):
Yeah, I don't. I truthfully don't care what order I
put them on in.
Speaker 2 (08:42):
Like I said, teeth matter, Yes, okay, but I have to.
Speaker 1 (08:46):
But I have no cavities as a thirty six year old.
Speaker 2 (08:50):
Yet, because it is just after Halloween and and we
have a lot of freaking candy.
Speaker 1 (08:56):
Yes, but I will brush my teeth in order and
they will be perfectly fine. So there.
Speaker 2 (09:02):
Well, we took our daughter and our nephews and a
bunch of neighborhood kids around and they did really well
as far as getting candy. But our little stem of
the neighborhood, because of the hurricane, still doesn't have street lights,
so it just seemed like nobody came to our house.
It was candy.
Speaker 1 (09:17):
I'm not gonna lie those kind of nice.
Speaker 2 (09:19):
I'm sure it was. I was walking with the kids.
Speaker 1 (09:22):
I got to set out, I got to sat out,
I got to sit outside and just chill, and I
did fly my drone. I flew my drone over the
neighborhood and it's pretty cool seeing all the kids running
up and down the streets and all that stuff, and
it was wild.
Speaker 2 (09:34):
It was busy, but on the lighted part of the yeah, yeah, yeah,
it was very busy.
Speaker 1 (09:39):
We live in a cul de sac, so our cul
de sac was pitch black except for our house. Really
we had one blow up decoration. That is our extent
of decoration for Halloween as one.
Speaker 2 (09:51):
Blow up decorately pumpkins. We didn't get pumpkins this year.
Speaker 1 (09:53):
It's so it's hard in Florida. You have to get
them like the day of.
Speaker 2 (09:56):
Because we still get them for Thanksgiving.
Speaker 1 (09:59):
And thirty Seve sends them. Things melt true and bugs everywhere.
There's a lot of bugs. But I sat outside for
about a half hour and I got swarmed with mosquitoes.
Speaker 2 (10:11):
I'm sure you did.
Speaker 1 (10:12):
It was unbelievable. I was pissed.
Speaker 2 (10:15):
Well, you talked about our one blow up decoration. But
there was some people who like their whole house is
done up almost like what you would expect for Christmas,
right with all the lights and all the fixtures and
all the bloats and all the It was pretty good.
In our neighborhood, there's a.
Speaker 1 (10:29):
Group of people that open their entire house.
Speaker 2 (10:32):
Up right to do the Haunted house, the lady.
Speaker 1 (10:37):
House.
Speaker 2 (10:39):
It's crazy. But I guess there's this viral thing going
around right now where some lady had a decoration in
her yard, and I guess it was very gruesome. Looked
like a murder scene.
Speaker 1 (10:52):
I think I've seen that.
Speaker 2 (10:53):
Yeah, And I guess the cops were called because it
was too much, too gruesome. They wanted the neighbors, wanted
it taken down. Lady did take it down. But how
much is too much decre like, let's stick with Halloween specifically,
how much is too much decor or Halloween.
Speaker 1 (11:09):
I don't think it was too much. I just think
it was if it's graphic. You don't want to walk
outside and see graphic stuff.
Speaker 2 (11:17):
Well, it's not your cup of tea, but it's my yard.
Speaker 1 (11:20):
I understand that. But you can't show. You can't go
outside naked and stand in your yard.
Speaker 2 (11:29):
Okay, Okay, I see where you're going, So.
Speaker 1 (11:32):
You shouldn't really be shown. Somebody's shanking up somebody else
in your fucking yard. Well, but it's Halloween, though, No,
it doesn't give you a free past to be a
crazy person.
Speaker 2 (11:44):
But Halloween is all about scare and horror, right, that's
the point. And purpose.
Speaker 1 (11:49):
It's also about giving kids, letting kids run around in
costumes and have candy, so you have to also think
about the young'uns. And I don't think that you should
have blood everywhere and make it look like some gruesome
murder scene outside of your house. That's a little bit much.
Speaker 2 (12:08):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (12:08):
Now, now if you do set it up like this
neighborhood couple here, and you have it to where you
have to go inside to see that stuff, Okay, it's
your choice at that point, but outside nobody you can't
not see it.
Speaker 2 (12:24):
I understand what you're saying. But at the same time,
it's her yard. Mm.
Speaker 1 (12:28):
Yeah, well so you're giving permission to pedophiles to go
outside and be in their yard, but naked.
Speaker 2 (12:34):
Whoa, you went way left there?
Speaker 1 (12:38):
Friends, Well, that's but you're you can't you can't say
one's okay and not the other because but.
Speaker 2 (12:44):
It's totally different. You are comparing pedophiles to decorations.
Speaker 1 (12:50):
Yeah, well, murder scene is a murder scene, and seeing
someone naked is seeing someone naked. That neither one is appropriate,
is what I'm trying to say.
Speaker 2 (13:01):
Okay, that's very extreme.
Speaker 1 (13:05):
Yeah, but that's what you're this lady had a murder
scene in her yard, but.
Speaker 2 (13:09):
It wasn't like the dead body is shown like it was.
You know, there was blood, like fake blood. So people
do that on their doors all the time, like do
not enter and there's bloody handprints, Like that's a thing?
Is that too much? No?
Speaker 1 (13:22):
Yeah, but you're talking see that's it's totally different. You're
talking about there's a body.
Speaker 2 (13:29):
There right, uh one, yes, yeah.
Speaker 1 (13:33):
With blood all over it?
Speaker 2 (13:35):
Fake? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (13:39):
Did you really kill somebody? Put them there?
Speaker 2 (13:41):
I'm just clarifying, making sure we're on the same page.
Speaker 1 (13:44):
That's not appropriate for these little kids that are running
around getting candy.
Speaker 2 (13:48):
So a skeleton in dirt is not appropriate.
Speaker 1 (13:52):
No, that's fine because it's it's fine as long as
it's not like somebody murdering, Like does the skeleton have
a sword sticking out of its eye? I don't know.
I can't. You can't. You can't do that shit. If
you can't, if it's not appropriate for, you know, especially
(14:17):
the younger crowd, then you probably shouldn't have it.
Speaker 2 (14:20):
Agree to disagree on that. That is a differing of
opinions there and here at Unfiltered Union, we're allowed to
do that.
Speaker 1 (14:26):
You can your opinion.
Speaker 2 (14:27):
I can have mine, But what I'm saying is it's
my yard. I will do what I want. However, if
neighbors come together and ask me to take it down
they think it's too much, that's my right to either
agree or disagree, and either take action or not.
Speaker 1 (14:45):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (14:47):
Good job, we are differing opinions and we're moving on.
Speaker 1 (14:52):
No. Oh, no, I don't know. I don't like it
because I don't truthfully, I don't want our kids seeing that. Well,
she's already timid, timid, right, But there.
Speaker 2 (15:06):
Are other kids like our nephew, who has watched Scream
at this point, who has watched other things that probably
aren't necessarily age appropriate, but he can handle it, and
he enjoys that kind of thing, like right. He likes
the suspense of it. He likes. That's just what he enjoys,
and that's okay. So to him it might not be
a big deal. To our daughter it might.
Speaker 1 (15:27):
And how old is the nephew, just so everyone hears it,
he is six years old, shouldn't be watching Scream.
Speaker 2 (15:33):
Not our choice, not But he can handle it though
it's the difference, and.
Speaker 1 (15:39):
He find out.
Speaker 2 (15:43):
It doesn't bother him, like it would our kid.
Speaker 1 (15:45):
Oh my gosh, I don't know. I don't like it period.
I don't keep their innocence for as long as possible.
Speaker 2 (15:53):
Now I can agree with that, but again differing of personalities.
Speaker 1 (15:57):
I agree, but I want our kids, our kid to
keep to stay a kid as long as possible.
Speaker 2 (16:04):
I agree. However, going back to the idea of you know,
neighbors coming together and saying, hey, too much, take it down?
She did and that was her choice, right, there was
no slap down. How do you feel about the new
sport coming out for power slaps.
Speaker 1 (16:19):
It's not new, is it?
Speaker 2 (16:20):
Well, no, not brand new, but.
Speaker 1 (16:22):
I think it's dumb. I mean, if you want to
watch it, I think it's funny to watch. I just
don't know how they have the whole sport dedicated to Yeah,
it seems kind of silly to me.
Speaker 2 (16:35):
Well, what's interesting to me is it doesn't seem like
it's based on training, if you will, I don't know,
Maybe maybe it is. Maybe I'm completely I don't know,
ignorant in the sport, But it doesn't seem like a
person who is big, large heavyweight has an advantage over
someone who is maybe smaller than them because how hard
(16:59):
you slap doesn't isn't dependent exactly on their their size,
Because I've seen I have seen slap these power slap
videos where smaller individuals can slap just as hard and
knock somebody out who's bigger than them. Yeah, but it's
one shot. You get one shot.
Speaker 1 (17:20):
A big person is all just naturally stronger than a
smaller person. That is not true too, It is too,
It is not. I have a friend that is a
very large individual. He would a thousand percent out bench
(17:40):
press me.
Speaker 2 (17:42):
But what I'm saying is a slap.
Speaker 1 (17:44):
Because one push up, one pushing up a bench press
is the same as doing this and slap can I finish?
Speaker 2 (17:52):
So one slap you have to get it in the
right spot right in order to knock that person out.
Otherwise you miss your one chance. Now they have a
chance and they can knock you out. So the difference
is instead of being in a ring and just throwing
punches all day, you get one shot and if you
aren't exactly right on that shot, then you don't get
(18:14):
to knock that person out.
Speaker 1 (18:16):
But do you think a big person can punch harder
than a smaller person?
Speaker 2 (18:22):
Do I think a bigger person can punch harder than
a smaller person. Yes, uh, yes, the bigger person would
punch harder than a smaller person.
Speaker 1 (18:30):
Okay, So a bigger person would have an advantage in
power slap if.
Speaker 2 (18:35):
They get it right, is what I'm trying to say.
Speaker 1 (18:38):
Okay, but because.
Speaker 2 (18:40):
In the ring you don't get a breathing chance, right,
like you are constantly throwing hands, whereas in power slap
you get one slap, and if they are better than
your one slap, you're going down.
Speaker 1 (18:52):
If my big friend power slapped me, I would be
on the first man on Mars.
Speaker 2 (18:59):
But if they.
Speaker 1 (19:00):
Didn't land it right, I would be the first man
on the moon.
Speaker 2 (19:05):
But you have a hard head. So my point is.
Speaker 1 (19:08):
That I'd be fine, but I would knock you.
Speaker 2 (19:12):
Out your turn, and you may be able to a.
Speaker 1 (19:15):
Long distance hit him from the moon.
Speaker 2 (19:20):
The point I'm trying to make here in this whole discussion,
do you think it's good, bad, or neutral for the UFC?
Speaker 1 (19:27):
I don't know. There's a lot of social media buzz
about it, so I don't doubt that it's a net
positive or they wouldn't do it well.
Speaker 2 (19:35):
I mean, you know, for Dana White, right, the creator
he's he's golden. But when it comes to the actual
sport of USC versus power slap, it seems like online
on a lot of these power slap posts, people are
saying like, I don't want anything to do with power
slap because it's hurting the sport of UFC. I don't
(19:55):
exactly get that.
Speaker 1 (19:57):
I don't know. I mean, it's I see a lot
of highlight videos and I do watch those. I'm not
gonna lie, and I laugh my ass off just about
every time because it is funny. But do I think
it is it hurts. I don't think so. I don't know.
I mean, I guess some people can see it as
(20:18):
kind of an unskilled version of whatever. A competition like
UFC you have to be skilled power slap. I still
think you have to be skilled. You have to hit
them square in the dome piece right you can and
stay awake. But hm, I don't obviously, I don't think
it's as skilled as somebody in the UFC. I don't know.
(20:42):
I think it's dumb. But do I think it hurts
the UFC? Probably not.
Speaker 2 (20:48):
Yeah, I don't know either. I don't know if I
think it hurts the UFC or not. I think I'm
neutral on it. I think they're there separate sports at
this point.
Speaker 1 (20:55):
Yeah, I don't. Honestly, I don't consider power slap a sport.
Speaker 2 (20:59):
Yeah, it's not having you know, big names from the
UFC move over to the other side. You know, so
two separate sports and let them go, you know, pick
a ball versus tennis.
Speaker 1 (21:08):
Stop it.
Speaker 2 (21:12):
Our Benny Cat, just move the mic. What's your attention?
Speaker 1 (21:16):
Yeah, it's not the right time.
Speaker 2 (21:18):
Talk to him. Okay, So I wanted to talk about
three upcoming things that we're excited for because I've got
a list. You ready, sure, Yellowstone, We've got Well, let
me back up all new releases that are coming out.
I'm so excited. This is the time of year where
all the new stuff is coming out. I'm so excited
Yellowstone is coming back November tenth. Oh so excited Squid
(21:43):
Games for season two. Just drop the official trailer and
it's coming out in December. Do you hear me?
Speaker 1 (21:49):
I'm trying. I do, and I will watch that one. Yellowstone.
Speaker 2 (21:52):
I'm eh, no, you never watched it.
Speaker 1 (21:55):
I know, but I've watched a little bit of it.
That's just a little too far fetched to me.
Speaker 2 (21:58):
Oh, I love it. It's so good. And then Wicked
the movie Wicked is.
Speaker 1 (22:02):
At the new Wizard of Oz type deal.
Speaker 2 (22:06):
Yeah, well it was a play.
Speaker 1 (22:07):
Uh no, I know, but it's based on Wizard of Oz.
Speaker 2 (22:10):
The Wicked Witch that comes out in a few weeks.
I'm so excited.
Speaker 1 (22:15):
Oh.
Speaker 2 (22:16):
But also Christmas Town at Busch Gardens is getting ready
to be in. I'm so excited, so excited. I'm not
going to be freezing my butt off walking around Bush Gardens.
It's going to be nice weather. We get to see
the Christmas lights. Get in the spirit.
Speaker 1 (22:29):
So if we're going to Christmas Town, I'm getting me
a mobility buggy. You do that, I'm not, I am serious,
I hear you.
Speaker 2 (22:37):
But then also for Christmas around the Tampa area, they
do the boat parade. Yes, that is one of my
favorite things for the Christmas season here in Tampa at Florida.
Speaker 1 (22:46):
It's a new tradition for us since moving here. We
used to go to a parade in our in Virginia
and Northern Virginia and it was frigid. We would be
miserable and we wanted to leave after about three minutes,
but we had to stay for the whole thing. Because
Santa came at the end and our kid, oh obviously
(23:07):
wants to see Santa, so we toughed it out.
Speaker 2 (23:10):
But now now Santa walks around and talks to everybody
while the boats go by.
Speaker 1 (23:14):
Well, and you're not freezing your ass off, right.
Speaker 2 (23:17):
It's like having a picnic.
Speaker 1 (23:18):
It's so funful. I love it is that was or
That is one of my favorite Christmas events that I
enjoy down here, for sure.
Speaker 2 (23:27):
I'm so excited we're getting to that season. There's so
much coming up. It's going to be such fun. I'm
so ready.
Speaker 1 (23:34):
Okay, yes, because it is my turn now it is
so you said TV show, So I wanted to say
a TV show. I didn't write it in the list.
Speaker 2 (23:43):
You're going off script.
Speaker 1 (23:44):
Our cane is coming out. The second is the second season, second,
and it's the last season, which sucks, but they're closing
up the story and they're closing it up as far
as I know, in only three episodes.
Speaker 2 (23:58):
Only three episodes for the season.
Speaker 1 (23:59):
Yeah, but there. It kind of makes me mad too
because Netflix is releasing them like two weeks apart or
something like that.
Speaker 2 (24:05):
I'm like, I'm just it better be moving movie length then, yeah, No.
Speaker 1 (24:09):
But I feel like I'm just gonna wait till they're
all out to watch, so that I'm not waiting two
weeks in between. But that's coming out. I'm very excited
about that. That is my nerd card showing. But even
if you don't like video games and it's about Legal legends,
it's a legal legends show. But even if you don't
like video games, it's a really good animated TV show.
Speaker 2 (24:33):
Okay, well go back to your script of other three things.
Hello and Google's talking. Sorry.
Speaker 1 (24:41):
So my other thing is fall fishing in Florida is
real nice because it's not super hot to where you're
dying sweating well and sunburning, but it's cooler and the
fish I think the fish bite more down here because
they're kind of chipper, you know, like our dog. And
(25:06):
then my last one, My last thing that I'm looking
forward to is voting. I am excited to vote on Tuesday.
And the reason why I am voting on Tuesday is
because my kiddo wants me to take her with me
and I'm excited to show her the cluster that voting is.
Speaker 2 (25:25):
Yeah, I oh, I didn't put my voting sticker on.
I went and voted today because my work week doesn't
allow me to leave the house pretty much the entire day.
Speaker 1 (25:36):
And just just for reference, today is Friday before voting day.
Speaker 2 (25:40):
Yes, but this is your unal reminder to get out
and vote. Don't care how you vote, just do your thing.
We hear at Unfiltered Union. I have our own opinions
and will not sway you one way or the other.
Just remembered to get out and vote. It's important. But
I wanted to tell you a story. So I went
and voted today.
Speaker 1 (26:00):
And it was a madhouse.
Speaker 2 (26:02):
Let me just be it was insane. It's at a
local library and it seems like those are the places
right now for early voting in the Tampa area. So
I went, rush dropped me off, and the line's out
the door and it's probably a good what two hundred
yard line at this point, that's a.
Speaker 1 (26:21):
Bit much, but okay, it's a long line though.
Speaker 2 (26:26):
Okay, well I say two hundred yards. You gauge it
however you want.
Speaker 1 (26:29):
It's from here to Mars.
Speaker 2 (26:32):
You got slapped, okay. So the line is real long
going through the line, and there's the individuals who are
the poll monitors, if you will, and they make sure
you know, line stays orderly, moves through, goes quick. Well,
this one gentleman, and he had to have been older,
I would say, in his eighties.
Speaker 1 (26:50):
A lot of those polling officials usually do that as
volunteer because they're bored.
Speaker 2 (26:54):
Yeah, well in Florida is a retiree state.
Speaker 1 (26:57):
And yeah, and the price is right was off by
then anyway.
Speaker 2 (27:01):
So he's going through the line. Lady in front of
me has her sixteen year old daughter, and the man
comes up to the sixteen year old daughter and says, oh,
what are you doing here? You look like you're too
young to vote. And the girl goes, oh, i'm here
with my mom. Just came back from an appointment. I'll
I'm here moral support, that's what she said, thank you.
(27:23):
And the gentleman said, oh, well, shouldn't you be in school?
And she goes, oh, I'll probably go to school, you know,
after this, just here with my mom. And the gentleman said,
I don't understand your generation to this young girl. And
I'm just looking at him like she's here to learn
about her civic duty.
Speaker 1 (27:40):
Yeah, I don't know, it's none of your business.
Speaker 2 (27:41):
First, it used to be a thing though, when we
were kids. Like to go with your parents to the
polling booth and watch them vote. I remember doing it
with my dad when I was young.
Speaker 1 (27:51):
Yeah, I did it, and I remember being bored.
Speaker 2 (27:53):
To death, right and watch them go in and oh,
back then it was those tick things. Do you remember that?
Speaker 1 (27:58):
Yeah, it was like a on a hole. Once you
pulled that big lever. Man pulling that lever though, it's like,
what's gonna happen because it was like twelve feet it
was a long pool.
Speaker 2 (28:10):
But back then it was a thing. You go, you
saw your parents do it, and I don't know, I
feel like it should still be a thing, right.
Speaker 1 (28:18):
That's why when our kiddo asked, can I go with
you to vote? I said, yes, of course.
Speaker 2 (28:24):
Right, so you haven't voted yet. You'll go on Tuesday
during the Mad House. Wow, it's gonna be crazy, Like
if the lines are this long.
Speaker 1 (28:31):
Now, I'm blessed to work from home, so I can
kind of hopefully skip a lot of the traffic and
go in after everyone goes to work, go in during
the middle of the day, So hopefully that helps, But
if not, I don't care. It'll be a fun experience
for her to see and kind of I'll let her
help me fill out the scantron.
Speaker 2 (28:52):
She's familiar with us.
Speaker 1 (28:53):
Yes, unfortunately because of school it.
Speaker 2 (28:56):
She'll keep you entertained in the line too. Maybe she'll
give you some more isms to bring.
Speaker 1 (29:00):
Yeah, sharp bugs.
Speaker 2 (29:03):
So I wanted to also offer to anyone out there
who listens to our Unfiltered Union here. If you're on Instagram,
come over to our Instagram page, shoot us a message.
Let's play emoji pong.
Speaker 1 (29:17):
Oh yeah, that's fun. I can't stop.
Speaker 2 (29:19):
I'm addicted.
Speaker 1 (29:20):
Emoji pong is terrible.
Speaker 2 (29:21):
It is so much fun. So all you have to
do is send someone a message on Instagram a little emoji,
and then you get to play pong with the emoji
and see who gets the highest score and.
Speaker 1 (29:32):
It tallies it. I'm obsessed. It's messed up though. But
my first recommendation, though, is to pick one with a
really bright color because I try to smiley phase and
you can barely see it on the background. Makes it
almost impossible to play.
Speaker 2 (29:46):
Good tip.
Speaker 1 (29:47):
Yeah, it's life skills.
Speaker 2 (29:49):
Appreciate it. So head on over. Yeah, play emoji pong
with us?
Speaker 1 (29:55):
Yeah, do it. I'll play my high score right now?
Is what? Twenty three? All right? Love you.

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.
