Speaker 1 (00:04):
This is the Unfiltered Union.
Speaker 2 (00:08):
Here is this week's episode. He's it did not need
all that it does.
Speaker 1 (00:19):
Look at it. Look at it. You can hide deaf
see my ZiT.
Speaker 2 (00:23):
That's how we're gonna start it.
Speaker 1 (00:25):
Yeah, it's annoying, man, Like we record a podcast episode
every two weeks, and this is the week that I
decided to turn into a teenager.
Speaker 3 (00:34):
Well that, I mean, that's what happens, right, especially when
you're eating all the story.
Speaker 2 (00:38):
Eating tis the season.
Speaker 1 (00:40):
We did eat, and we did eat good on Thanksgiving.
Speaker 2 (00:44):
It was it was so good us.
Speaker 1 (00:47):
It was good. So I cooked a turkey on a
tragger right.
Speaker 2 (00:50):
Oh, here we go with your ego.
Speaker 1 (00:51):
It was so good. It was one of the best
turkeys I've ever had.
Speaker 3 (00:55):
And everybody told him so, oh yeah.
Speaker 1 (00:57):
It was so good. And the turkey with cree old butter.
Speaker 2 (01:05):
Our kidd was so grossed out.
Speaker 1 (01:06):
Yes, it was weird. So that the injectory it's like
a big needle and you stick it into the breast
and you essentially pump it full of butter. I gave
it to our kid because she was like, I want
to do it, and I let her do it, and
she physically shook like oh, that's gross. And I was like, well,
don't do it no more. She said no, but I
(01:27):
want to. It was the weirdest it's like gross style,
but at the same time she liked it.
Speaker 2 (01:34):
I mean it did taste really good though. It was good,
very good. Stroke your ego a little bit.
Speaker 1 (01:38):
Turkey's hard to cook and not let it get dry.
But that was super good.
Speaker 2 (01:44):
It was a very good turkey.
Speaker 3 (01:45):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (01:46):
And we also had no say it one more time.
It was really good, honey.
Speaker 3 (01:51):
We also had pumpkin pie, We had these little pre
lean things.
Speaker 1 (01:55):
We had cake because it was like a belated birthday
for me.
Speaker 2 (02:00):
So it was all the things right. So it's not
it's it's not because of you.
Speaker 1 (02:05):
I still looking down.
Speaker 2 (02:08):
Staying out of up. Yeah. So we got a new light,
we got a new camera.
Speaker 1 (02:12):
This light is the size of your anus.
Speaker 2 (02:17):
Wait the planet.
Speaker 1 (02:18):
No, oh, okay, your anus.
Speaker 3 (02:20):
Okay, it's brighter than the Florida sun.
Speaker 1 (02:24):
It is it is. I do feel like every time
we do a podcast episode we must apply sunscreen.
Speaker 3 (02:31):
I feel like we just keep amping up our little
studio here in our extra bedroom of our house.
Speaker 1 (02:36):
We do.
Speaker 2 (02:38):
We're acting our pay grade.
Speaker 1 (02:39):
Though. Yeah, it's this light's so big that I can't
really walk around in here, and I feel the heat
from it, that's how close it is.
Speaker 2 (02:49):
But I'm glad for the heat because I'm freaking cold
right now.
Speaker 1 (02:52):
Florida stupid.
Speaker 2 (02:54):
It is going through a mood swing because it is
so cold.
Speaker 1 (02:57):
It's making me mad.
Speaker 2 (02:58):
It was what forty nine this morning?
Speaker 1 (03:00):
Morning? Yeah, and you decided I don't know what hair
crawled up your ass, but good lord, oh my god,
time to get up. We gotta go Eat'm like, no.
Speaker 2 (03:11):
I don't want it hot coffee.
Speaker 3 (03:13):
We have a curate we do, but I wanted hot
coffee and hot breakfast, and it was we talked about.
Speaker 2 (03:18):
It last night, so it was time get up and
go get breakth We did.
Speaker 1 (03:21):
Talk about it last night. And that's our weekly tradition,
I guess, is either on Saturday or Sunday, we go
out to breakfast, family breakfast, family breakfast, because honestly, I
feel like, especially on the weekends, that is all of
our favorite meal of the day.
Speaker 3 (03:37):
Mm hmmm, yes, big breakfast. Yes, it's yes, yes. And
then during the week it's you know, family dinners. But
typically that morning on a weekend, give me some hot coffee.
Speaker 2 (03:47):
Because I was frozen.
Speaker 1 (03:48):
And speaking of family dinners, we've begun just recently. I
know it took a while. But putting our phones away, yeah,
I mean.
Speaker 3 (03:56):
I think we've tried to do that for a while.
We're making a point of it.
Speaker 1 (04:00):
Are actually physically putting our phone somewhere where it's out
of reach and you can't hear it, you can't respond,
and it makes a big difference.
Speaker 2 (04:11):
It does.
Speaker 3 (04:11):
But the things that we do for entertainment at the
table just seems to keep diving, devolving into Yeah.
Speaker 1 (04:18):
The game that we do, so we've mouthed random sounds.
We don't say it, we don't physically say it out loud,
but we mouth it and then just like that, and
then the other people have to guess what you were saying.
It's the weirdest thing, but it is fun. We do that.
Speaker 2 (04:40):
We try to make each other laugh.
Speaker 1 (04:42):
We do Alexa Jeopardy and then Alexa twenty questions, Alexa uh,
smarter than a fifth grader. We enjoy all those Alexa games.
Speaker 3 (04:53):
They're pretty Oh, don't say that too loud.
Speaker 1 (04:56):
No, she's listening.
Speaker 3 (04:58):
But I think overall, you know, we're trying to really
get in the spirit, right now, especially with the cold weather.
Speaker 1 (05:04):
I'm not why you guys are nuts.
Speaker 2 (05:08):
You are so humbug.
Speaker 1 (05:09):
I'm not. You say that, but I am not. You know,
I'm not humbug. It's just not December yet.
Speaker 2 (05:16):
We'll get to that in a moment.
Speaker 3 (05:17):
But we recently, along with family members went to Busch
Gardens and we did the Christmas Town experience.
Speaker 1 (05:25):
Yes, and for the most part, I'm not gonna say
I was super super impressed. I think Disney is a
lot better, like decorations and Christmas Eve stuff, but there
were some highlights.
Speaker 2 (05:40):
I think you.
Speaker 3 (05:41):
Can't even compare it to Disney. Let's just no, you cannot.
Disney and Universal are like top tier.
Speaker 2 (05:47):
Like they go. They are huge parks. They go all out.
Speaker 3 (05:49):
They have a huge, huge budget. You can't even put
Tampa Bay Busch Gardens in the same category.
Speaker 1 (05:56):
Yeah, but the fact that we spent eleven dollars for
the year for three season passes makes me think that
yes we should, we can put it on that level.
Speaker 2 (06:09):
That it's very expensive, Oh.
Speaker 1 (06:13):
I mean we have I will say we have gotten
our money's worth. We've been to so we have Platinum passes,
which is their top level. It comes with free parking,
which I think is at least thirty bucks every time
you go per car. And then we went to REFERD
Parking Preferred Park. Yes, so you get the upfront parking.
You don't have to ride the little uh peasant mobile.
(06:37):
I'm not saying that as a as a as an insult,
but it's it sucks. Yeah, it's a park. You can
walk right to your car and I have to wait
in line after you're done at the park. Anyway, we
went to SeaWorld, we went to Bush Gardens a bunch
of times. We went to aquatic Club, aquatic Club Aquatica.
(06:57):
We didn't go to Aquatica. We went to Adventure Island there.
The only one we haven't been to is Aquatica, not club.
Speaker 3 (07:06):
Okay, so yeah, but you also get a bunch of
passes with our membership, so we get to take family members.
Speaker 2 (07:14):
I think it's paid for itself, but.
Speaker 1 (07:16):
It has just based on we went. Where do we go.
We went to Busch Gardens a couple months back and
we had a party of nine yep, so you yea yeah,
but so six additional people that's a lot.
Speaker 2 (07:30):
Mm hmmm, yep. We've done that what twice? Three times.
Speaker 1 (07:33):
Now, Yeah, we brought your your side of the family,
then we brought my side of the family to SeaWorld
and we spent the day at SeaWorld with my parents. Yep.
So it definitely has paid for itself. But I still
don't think it was up there with Disney. I don't
know how the heck they do all that stuff.
Speaker 3 (07:55):
It is, it really is. I don't think you can
compare Bush Gardens to Disney.
Speaker 1 (08:00):
But I'm just saying based on pricing.
Speaker 3 (08:02):
But the overall experience that we had at Christmas Town
and Bush Gardens this year, I think was I enjoyed it?
Speaker 1 (08:10):
I mean, was it worth going to I say yes, yeah,
at least once.
Speaker 2 (08:15):
Yes.
Speaker 1 (08:15):
The reason why I say that Christmas on Ice they
have the little skate show. It was good. I'm not
gonna lie though. When we walked into that auditorium to
watch it, I was like, this is going to suck.
Speaker 3 (08:29):
Well, okay, so they have like two feet of the
ice showing and you're like, what is that? But then
they have the screen right and the screen you're playing
interviews with the performers and trying to get you in
the Christmas mood, and then the screen rolls up and
then it's like a.
Speaker 2 (08:42):
Fifty foot Yeah.
Speaker 1 (08:43):
But the fact that it was at first just those
like six feet, I couldn't. I was like, what are
they going to do on that? Yeah, It's like what
are they going to do?
Speaker 2 (08:53):
Because I thought it was just going to be a
show on the screen, to be honest, That's.
Speaker 1 (08:56):
What I thought too, because it was covering everything and
then all the sudden that lifts away. I was like, ah,
I see what you did there?
Speaker 2 (09:04):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (09:04):
It was really That part was probably my absolute favorite
because watching our kiddo watch the show, Yeah, that was awesome.
She was so focused on it. She was, you know, ah,
on everything.
Speaker 2 (09:19):
Did you see that light?
Speaker 1 (09:20):
And the first thing she said when we left was
I want to learn how to skate, So, you know,
it had an effect on her when she's all into
it and she wants to go out and now ice skate.
Speaker 3 (09:33):
Absolutely, I that was probably one of my favorite parts.
I mean, you know, the lights throughout the park were
really pretty.
Speaker 1 (09:39):
Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (09:40):
Then they had a couple of other experiences where it
was Missus Clawsread's bedtime Story and then you can meet
a nice princess, you can you know, different experiences. But
then we got towards the end of the park and
it was the North Pole Experience.
Speaker 1 (09:57):
With Senna that was the best part to me.
Speaker 2 (10:00):
I mean, I agree that part was really good.
Speaker 1 (10:03):
I mean, I guess it was the best part because
of how interactive it was for our kiddo, like the
Christmas on Ice thing. Yeah, she loved it, but she's
not involved. She's just watching this like every it's this building.
It looks like a house that's in the middle of
the park and they completely dress it up. As you're
(10:26):
in the North Pole. It's called the North Pole Experience,
and you walk in and there's elves everywhere, not real
elves or are.
Speaker 2 (10:35):
They they're no Pole elves?
Speaker 3 (10:38):
Yes, okay, anyways, and they're asking the kid, has your
elf arrived yet? They try to remember your ELF's name,
They talk about you know what you're about to do.
They really try and get the kid involved.
Speaker 2 (10:48):
With the experience.
Speaker 3 (10:50):
And then you start walking down the hollyway.
Speaker 2 (10:53):
It's covered in holly.
Speaker 3 (10:55):
It's very cute, and you get to a door and
you have to use your math in order to open
the door.
Speaker 2 (11:02):
And I'll pop.
Speaker 3 (11:02):
Sanna and Santa was amazing, like they were doing funny
faces together and taking pictures, but then also had the
serious ones. The way they interacted together, like it was
a really cute experience.
Speaker 1 (11:14):
I think so too. I think it was really good.
The only thing was I think Santa was a little
tuned up. It's a little bit. He slurred a couple times.
And I don't blame him.
Speaker 2 (11:24):
I'm not filling with kids all day.
Speaker 1 (11:25):
I'm not knocking him for it because I probably would
too if that was, you know, my gig. But yeah,
he was a little tuned up, and he slurred a
couple of times, and I was like, Eh, Sana.
Speaker 2 (11:36):
A little too much, Edna, Sanna.
Speaker 1 (11:37):
You like that, Jack Daniels, don't you sinna h?
Speaker 3 (11:41):
I think seeing the lights throughout the park and those
two things were like the big standout.
Speaker 2 (11:47):
Yes, so mean, I thought it was good.
Speaker 1 (11:49):
It was good. I just I don't think I would ever.
I would go again to bring like our nephews and stuff,
but I wouldn't see Disney. I would go to the same.
Speaker 2 (11:59):
Part again over and over and over.
Speaker 1 (12:02):
Would I wouldn't purposefully go to Christmas Town again unless
they announced something new or something like that.
Speaker 2 (12:11):
Yeah, or you're bringing somebody new.
Speaker 1 (12:13):
Yeah, Like I wouldn't bring us three again on purpose. Me.
I just don't it was okay. It was good to
see once.
Speaker 2 (12:22):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (12:23):
And that's the other thing too, is it's getting chilly out,
so the animal stuff is a lot of it's closed.
YEA understandable, but monkeys don't go there and think you're
going to see all kinds of their animal experiences and
all that. But I mean it was good. I would
definitely recommend it at least once.
Speaker 2 (12:43):
Awesome.
Speaker 3 (12:45):
So the great debate right now is whether or not
you put up your Christmas decorations.
Speaker 2 (12:50):
I think that's you know, on all social media is
do you put up.
Speaker 3 (12:56):
Do you put up Christmas decorations before Thanksgiving or after
or on a specific you know, December first for example,
and I think for us, for me specifically, it's the
day after Thanksgiving. That's when everything goes up. You can
start putting up your Christmas decorations, which we started to
do where you've finally finished today, but all of our
(13:18):
Christmas decorations are at see.
Speaker 1 (13:20):
And I thought about this a little bit. I don't
think you should do it until December. But at the
same time you have time off for Thanksgiving, right, so
that makes sense to me. But I do think it's
early when you're putting stuff up and it's not even
December yet. I don't get that. I don't like the
(13:42):
stores that decide in October to put out Easter stuff
that's not much.
Speaker 3 (13:49):
But I make your point, But I mean overall, I
think when it comes to decorating, it should be the
day after Thanksgiving. But our kidda was actually having an
argument with one of our friends as to whether or
not her birthday or kiddo's birthday is a couple of
days before Christmas. Is the is part of a winter
birthday or is it a fall birthday? So her birthday
(14:13):
being in you know the early well, a few days
five days before Christmas, will say, and that's technically before
the winter season starts.
Speaker 1 (14:25):
No, no, it's it's a winter birthday.
Speaker 3 (14:29):
But winter starts on or around December twenty first. I
think it will be the twenty first this year.
Speaker 1 (14:34):
Who decided that, because that's god crack hit, Well, you
might want to take a couple of steps back away
from me because I'm about to get struck by lightning.
Speaker 3 (14:47):
Well it's base Sorry, it's based on the way the
earth tilts, right, Who.
Speaker 1 (14:53):
Decided to tilt it? That way. It don't make sense.
Speaker 2 (14:55):
God.
Speaker 1 (14:56):
Sorry, So December is winter. I don't care what anybody says.
I don't care what the flippy flip of the earth is.
December is winter.
Speaker 2 (15:08):
Well, so in my.
Speaker 3 (15:09):
Head I think I agree with you too, because it's
like when you think of winter, you think of.
Speaker 2 (15:14):
You know, Christmas. So when do you start degrading for Christmas?
Speaker 1 (15:19):
Yes, I don't.
Speaker 2 (15:20):
Again, to me, right after Thanksgiving we can call it winter.
Speaker 1 (15:25):
I agree. I think like Thanksgiving to me is the
last day of fall, I agree, or the end of fall, yes,
and then we are diving into winter directly thereafter, and
it's cold, but it's like the holiday season, right. You
don't get just saying December twenty first is the beginning
of winter. That's like three days before Christmas. Yeah, and
(15:49):
especially people that aren't in Florida, you're suffering from winter
season in October. In October, so no winter is in December, agreed,
December one?
Speaker 2 (16:03):
Yep?
Speaker 1 (16:03):
Agreed That flippy flop earth thing is dumb.
Speaker 2 (16:08):
That's science, honey.
Speaker 1 (16:10):
Yeah, well I'm a scientist.
Speaker 2 (16:12):
It sounds like it. Yep.
Speaker 3 (16:14):
So did you see what the new toy craze is
for this year's Christmas gifts.
Speaker 1 (16:20):
No, I bet I can guess one of them is
probably something to do with that Wicked movie.
Speaker 2 (16:24):
Yes, yeah, what's your other guests?
Speaker 1 (16:29):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (16:31):
Even guess one.
Speaker 1 (16:32):
That's the only one, and I'm guessing.
Speaker 3 (16:34):
Okay, good, Yeah, the Wicked dolls are out, you know,
for purchase, and most recently they just.
Speaker 2 (16:41):
Had they had a little kerfuffle, a little kerfuffle with
their packaging.
Speaker 1 (16:45):
I read about this and there ain't no way this
happened on accident right there, new way. How many people
do these packaging things go through before they get released
for mass production, right.
Speaker 3 (16:59):
Before they head out the door for people to buy.
If you haven't heard.
Speaker 2 (17:02):
There was a QR code on the box for these dolls.
Speaker 1 (17:06):
It took you straight to a porno site. How, I
don't know.
Speaker 2 (17:11):
How does that happen?
Speaker 1 (17:13):
But that's not even a good like to me. Okay,
maybe they had mock ups and placeholder QR codes to
design it and stuff, and that's not even a good placeholder.
That's not safe for work. So all the people working
on that at work should be fired for going to
porn sites.
Speaker 3 (17:32):
It doesn't even make any sense if that was a
placeholder it's like, that's what I'm saying.
Speaker 2 (17:36):
At one point, somebody had to have checked.
Speaker 1 (17:38):
Yeah, somebody's like, oh booph oh No.
Speaker 3 (17:41):
I don't think it was on accident either. Somebody did
something along the way.
Speaker 1 (17:47):
Somebody trolled and it made it probably a lot further
than they expected.
Speaker 2 (17:53):
AI did it.
Speaker 1 (17:53):
They were like, A, I did it. That was AI's rickroll.
Speaker 2 (17:59):
But I you know, I was thinking back on it.
Speaker 3 (18:01):
They say, a lot of in you window is in
a lot of different Disney movies, a lot of different
kids things, because they put it in there for following
the parents. But Kristen Bell, the actress who voiced Anna
and Frozen, came out recently and said that she put
why have a ballroom with no balls?
Speaker 2 (18:20):
She did it on purpose for the parents.
Speaker 3 (18:22):
I'm just like, okay, but why that. That honestly didn't
connect for me at all until she said that, I'm like, oh, okay.
Speaker 1 (18:29):
Maybe there's a difference between innuendo in the direct link
I think true. Like one is straight up scan this code,
go to porn site. One is it could be taken
a certain way.
Speaker 3 (18:43):
Yeah, if they put that QR code up in the
middle of a Disney movie.
Speaker 1 (18:47):
Right, if a poster in the background, and Woody's room
had a QR code taking you to whatever porn site
that that is. That's not innuendo.
Speaker 2 (18:57):
Uh huh, that is, that's blatant.
Speaker 1 (18:59):
Yeah, so I'm pretty sure that it was one purpose.
Speaker 3 (19:04):
I think so too collect them. You know that if I.
Speaker 1 (19:10):
Had one of those things, I'd be sealing that thing
up in an air tight, water tight container and putting
it somewhere dark so that it doesn't get you know,
sun faded, and selling that thing when the time comes,
because that is going to be worth boukoo bucks.
Speaker 3 (19:26):
I can't imagine why it would be worth that, but
I get your point.
Speaker 1 (19:30):
It'll be worth that much because it is a legit
collector's item that they stop producing. They pull the ones
that existed, and you essentially have something that no one
else can get.
Speaker 2 (19:43):
I guess it's.
Speaker 1 (19:45):
It's dumb, but that's what people like. Pokemon is another example,
like if there's a misprint, if they spell something wrong
on a card, those are worth more money. It's like,
but that thing's broke. Yeah, that it's why it's worth more.
There's seven of them versus ten thousand of them.
Speaker 2 (20:03):
I guess.
Speaker 3 (20:04):
Can you imagine someone giving it, who hasn't heard about
the box issue, hasn't heard about the QR issue, actually giving.
Speaker 1 (20:10):
That to their kid, Well, hopefully their kids young enough
to not have a cell phone to scan it with.
Speaker 2 (20:16):
But I mean, what kid doesn't have a tablet these days?
Speaker 1 (20:19):
Turn off your QR code scanners on your kid's tablet, turn.
Speaker 2 (20:22):
Off the camera camera. So I was thinking back in
the day sometimes, but not about this.
Speaker 3 (20:31):
So back in the day, we used to go from
the clubs, the bars that we would herbs back in
our twenties. Uh, and then we would go to I
hup and have you know, early morning breakfast after you know,
a night of drinking. Right, I was typically g d idea.
Speaker 1 (20:51):
You never drunk. I drunk. You never drank, I.
Speaker 2 (20:54):
Mean not often.
Speaker 1 (20:58):
If we would go out, we would go to this
place called Norris in northern Virginia and it was like
a hookah bar. It's about the size of a shoe box.
So you couldn't do nothing in there but sit down
and drink, and you would. You would have one at
the beginning of the night and then we would I
would be getting plastered and you would be you know,
(21:20):
that was it because you didn't really you never really
liked drinking at all.
Speaker 3 (21:24):
No, I more go for either atmosphere dancing experience.
Speaker 1 (21:28):
It wasn't just it was your friends too, right.
Speaker 3 (21:31):
Yep, No, I've never been a big drinker. I have
my moments, but not like that. But anyways, so you know.
Speaker 2 (21:36):
After a night out, we were responsible, right.
Speaker 3 (21:39):
I would I would typically drive us to I Hop
and we would all get you know, late night breakfast,
sober up, drink some coffee, some pancakes, and then go.
Speaker 1 (21:50):
Home try to nurse the hangover.
Speaker 3 (21:52):
Right, it's you know, it's the sobering moment. It's the
end of the night.
Speaker 1 (21:55):
Yeah. It was like our it was our what do
you call it down downtime or unwind times? There you go.
We were all hyped up, we were all partying, and
now it's time to take a step back. It was
like the next phase of our night life.
Speaker 2 (22:11):
Right.
Speaker 3 (22:12):
Well, I love now combining I Hop with Applebee's.
Speaker 1 (22:18):
Stupid they're removing my unwind exactly because I'm gonna go
get me a Long Island iced tea from Applebee's.
Speaker 3 (22:25):
But they also have all those specials, right, they had
like dollar Margarita's or whatever.
Speaker 2 (22:30):
It's like that they would have.
Speaker 1 (22:32):
Y'all want to go to I Hop to to unwind
and kind of you know, refresh yourself the night and
the night it's time to go, and it's like, hey,
we have happy hour all the time. Dollar margarita, Well
give me seven with my eggs.
Speaker 3 (22:48):
That's what I'm saying, Like, I couldn't imagine back then
in our twenties when it was end of the night
you go to I Hop, But now they have Applebee's.
Speaker 2 (22:56):
I'm telling them I would never be able to get
you to go home.
Speaker 1 (22:58):
No, well, arty.
Speaker 2 (23:00):
Would never end.
Speaker 1 (23:01):
Last call would kill it. That's one thing that I
was right, yes, because I thought Virginia last call everywhere.
Speaker 2 (23:09):
Was two yes.
Speaker 3 (23:10):
But here in Florida, I think Miami. I don't know
what time last call is.
Speaker 1 (23:15):
I don't think there is one, to be honest with you,
because I had a friend who frequented Miami, and yeah,
he said he would drink all night, right.
Speaker 2 (23:24):
So I don't think I would ever get you to
be able to.
Speaker 1 (23:26):
Go home like, no, well, you'd have to drag me
out of it, right. That's so embarrassing. I look back
on that stuff too, and I'm like.
Speaker 2 (23:35):
Well, you're young, I know, but it's so gross. But
then you would be at an Applebee's.
Speaker 1 (23:44):
Yeah, yeah, because knowing me, I would have went to
the I Hop a Bee's and got me eggs and
pancakes and bacon with a Long Island iced tea. It
doesn't make sense. I'd be eating my breakfast while drinking,
getting more drunk.
Speaker 2 (24:03):
It doesn't make sense.
Speaker 1 (24:05):
They're ruining it for me. I'm going to Denny's.
Speaker 2 (24:07):
Yeah, waffle House, that's the Florida classic.
Speaker 1 (24:11):
Yeah, waffle House Warrior Princess.
Speaker 2 (24:14):
That lady was so strong she is.
Speaker 1 (24:18):
She got a chair thrown at her and she knocked
it out of the air like it was nothing.
Speaker 2 (24:22):
Adrenaline, adrenalin.
Speaker 1 (24:24):
I would if I would have done that and somebody
knocked a chair out of the air that I threw,
I'm knocking out you got it. You win, you win.
I record me saying it, you win. Whatever I was
trying to do, I'm not doing it no more. You
don't even have to serve me. I will pay how
(24:46):
much did my meal cost that you didn't serve me?
I will pay for it and I will give you tip.
Kind of like, oh, this is kind of a weird segue.
Speaker 2 (24:59):
So now I feel like my segues are just like.
Speaker 1 (25:02):
We're talking about a movie now.
Speaker 3 (25:04):
Yes, so movie hadle like we recently watched it.
Speaker 1 (25:10):
Yes, and just just forewarning spoiler alerts, they're coming. Spoiler, spoiler, spoiler.
I hate time travel.
Speaker 2 (25:21):
It breaks your brain up.
Speaker 1 (25:22):
I like it, but I hate it at the same time.
Speaker 2 (25:25):
So your favorite type of movies are like sci fi.
Speaker 1 (25:28):
Well sci fi, that's why we've chose this movie, right,
Plus it had like a resurgence I think, yeah, it
came out a while back, but it's now streaming, so
that's why we watched it too. It like kind of
like popped up on all these feeds, and plus I
kept seeing it on like social media. Go watch the movie,
Go watch this movie, and I'm like, it sounds kind
of cool.
Speaker 3 (25:48):
But no, every time we watch something that has to
do with time travel, it's like playing two hundred questions,
like trying to get you caught up.
Speaker 2 (25:57):
I feel happening.
Speaker 1 (25:59):
I feel stupid. That's one hundred percent you're not, No,
but I feel stupid. I still feel stupid from that movie,
and we watched it like two weeks ago.
Speaker 2 (26:08):
Well, like I feel like we had this conversation.
Speaker 1 (26:11):
She still has to feed me.
Speaker 3 (26:14):
We had a similar conversation about terminator like the new terminators,
and I'm trying to think of what the other ones were.
But anything time travel.
Speaker 1 (26:24):
Related don't matter.
Speaker 3 (26:26):
Right, the brain gets broken. So I'm gonna spoil a
little bit here. Here we go when it comes to
this movie, Right, there's a young girl. Let's say it's
twenty twenty four, and she's nine years old, and she
goes back in time. Well, I can see you calculating.
She goes back in time to the nineteen fifties, we'll say,
(26:46):
and from nineteen fifty to twenty twenty four, she grows up, right,
she lives her life, and she has a child in
that span of time, we'll say in nineteen ninety. So
she has a child in nineteen ninety and and she
that child then grows up to be a man, and
that man gets with another woman, has another child, and
(27:09):
then that another child, the grandchild of the woman who
went back in time, is also traveling in time. It
becomes the stepsister to the girl who went back in time.
Speaker 1 (27:24):
How does he exist though, when he's the one who
brought her back in time?
Speaker 3 (27:29):
He exists because she grew up, But he doesn't make
em size. So she's born in today's day, but she
went back in time and lived her life and was
able to have a child.
Speaker 1 (27:41):
But how was she born in today's day when you
just said she went back in time? I don't understand
that at all.
Speaker 2 (27:48):
She was if she was born.
Speaker 1 (27:50):
Today, she couldn't have an adult male kid that brings
her back in time.
Speaker 2 (27:57):
But she can because she grew up, had a child
in nineteen ninety. That child grew up and she went
back in time.
Speaker 1 (28:05):
She didn't. It's a movie. It's fake and I hate
it now I really like.
Speaker 3 (28:09):
It hill thinking about it, because she actually didn't. She
died a few years before he started to time travel. Yeah,
so thinking about it, I wonder if she actually died
when her new self was born, that wouldn't be in
the same twice.
Speaker 1 (28:28):
Well yeah, but if that was true, then that one
the stepsister, wouldn't be in the same timeline twice because
she was she saw herself, remembering she had to hide.
Speaker 3 (28:38):
From her Well, right, she saw herself when she was.
Speaker 1 (28:40):
A baby, and she saw herself as a teenager, because
remember she walked into the house said mom, da da
da dah.
Speaker 2 (28:47):
Right, But that's different from being born in that.
Speaker 1 (28:50):
Time like why I don't understand.
Speaker 2 (28:57):
Regardless, really good movie. It will break.
Speaker 1 (29:00):
I did like it. I know I'm kind of trashing
it just based on time travel, but it was really
good and really well done. I The ending wasn't great
to me, but it was an ending that was necessary
because it completely closed all the loops yep, lots of closure.
Speaker 3 (29:17):
It's not one of the ones that you feel walking
out like, oh.
Speaker 1 (29:20):
What the heck, what's this? What's that? Yeah? It was.
The ending was necessary. I won't say it was good,
but it was necessary because they think it was good.
They buttoned up. Everything makes me mad, it makes you mad,
but it was. It was good. I liked it. I
definitely recommend it if you like sci fi type movies
because it was it was definitely trippy.
Speaker 2 (29:40):
Speaking of sci fi.
Speaker 1 (29:44):
I'm kind of worried.
Speaker 3 (29:46):
Elon Musk and Hell, he's real, but everything he does
is like science and FI. I guess science and Fi
him and Elon Musk and Vivic Ramaswami, thank you. I
think that individual are now heads of the Department of
(30:08):
Government Efficiency aka Dodge.
Speaker 2 (30:12):
You break my brain every time you.
Speaker 1 (30:14):
Say that it's one hundred percent on purpose. Elon doesn't
do stuff like that on accident.
Speaker 2 (30:21):
I can't. I don't know why. I never realized, never
saw that until you said it.
Speaker 1 (30:26):
He loves memes. I mean, he's already said he wants
Dodge Dodge coin to take over the world, and all
of his models of Tesla's equal sexy Model S, Model three,
Model X, Model Y, not Model T, not Model T.
I did that earlier, but he Yeah, he does all
(30:47):
this stuff on purpose. There's if it's something like that
public facing, it's not on accident.
Speaker 3 (30:54):
I can't believe it when you said that, though, I
feel like my brain was blown, like I did not
put that together.
Speaker 1 (30:59):
KG he's a big supporter of that shit coin.
Speaker 3 (31:05):
Well, I will be curious to see what happens in
this next realm because the Department of Government Efficiency Dodge
is all about, you know, cutting cutting the fat and
slimming down the government. And I overall, what Trump said
(31:26):
four years well more than four years ago now when
he first got into office, was drain the swamp.
Speaker 2 (31:31):
So I think with Elon Musk and.
Speaker 3 (31:35):
Thank you Vivic, it's going to be a good balance
and hopefully they can actually accomplish something.
Speaker 1 (31:41):
They will. I think they will this time. I think
Trump if you listened to him on Joe Rogan earlier,
like a couple of weeks back right before the elections,
actually he talked about how he was brand new to
all this politics stuff and he didn't realize how big
it was and how corrupt it was, and everybody's out
(32:03):
it's a business essentially, everybody's out there and stabbing each
other in the back. And he admits, and it's it's
very rare to hear Trump admit wrong, seriously, like it's rare,
but he did. He admitted to picking some shitty people. Yeah,
and he I don't think he's making that mistake this
(32:25):
time because he's picking people like Elon. The swamp don't
like Elon. They were already talking about dismantling X Kamala
Harris and like her campaign and a bunch of other
stuff had had uh had had a bunch of internal
(32:49):
documents that we're talking about dismantling Elon Musk's X because
they don't like freedom of speech. I don't care what
you think. They were trying to suppress speech one hundred, trying.
Speaker 3 (33:04):
To everyone can have their own. That's what we're about
here at the unfiltered union, but having your own opinions,
you can say it and who.
Speaker 2 (33:11):
Cares, see, no big deal.
Speaker 1 (33:13):
See, but that's exactly why I did not really like
that side this time, because of the fact that they
didn't like just the opinions that were against theirs they
said it.
Speaker 3 (33:29):
I mean, so I think all of this, you know
how things went during the election, how things were going.
Speaker 2 (33:37):
You know what's going on right now in the.
Speaker 3 (33:39):
UK, Great Britain, whatever the heck it's called these days,
where they are, you know, trying to control.
Speaker 2 (33:46):
Speech and it's terribley well in jail over it.
Speaker 3 (33:48):
And I mean I get the point and purpose of it.
But I think with what they're trying to do with
the Department of Government efficiency, Yeah, I.
Speaker 1 (33:56):
Went off on a little tangent there.
Speaker 2 (33:57):
You did, so I'm bringing you back. It's okay back.
Speaker 3 (34:01):
But with Dodge, it's going to be interesting to see
if they can actually do what they said they were
going to do four years ago, I think eight years.
Speaker 1 (34:10):
Ago this time. I don't think Trump is going to
pull any punches. He's not worried about getting re elected.
He's choosing people that aren't swamp creatures.
Speaker 2 (34:20):
Swamp creatures, yeah, that's what they are.
Speaker 1 (34:22):
They didn't like RFK. They didn't let him run against
Joe Biden in this current administration during the Democratic primary,
and then they picked. They just picked. So he's I
don't think Trump is choosing like he chose last time.
Speaker 3 (34:42):
I can maybe agree with that, but I mean, RFK
to me is a huge win.
Speaker 2 (34:47):
Oh yeah, we'll see.
Speaker 1 (34:51):
No, he's going to be good. I like him.
Speaker 3 (34:53):
I hope they can do what they say they were
gonna do eight years ago. Hope they can do that
with the Dodge Dodge, But with RFK, I feel like
we're gonna get good outcomes of that.
Speaker 1 (35:08):
I really hope. So. I think he's definitely vocal and
a big proponent of American health.
Speaker 2 (35:17):
Yes.
Speaker 1 (35:18):
And when what cracked me up the most about all
this was when Trump chose him and Trump won. Big
pharma stocks took a shit.
Speaker 2 (35:27):
Nahuh good.
Speaker 1 (35:29):
They're scared. They should be. They shouldn't. They shouldn't have
that much pool in government and politics, right. Like the
fact that there's a lobby out there pushing for all
this stuff, this chemicals to be put in your body
is insane. It's like the food lobby in the pharma lobby.
(35:50):
Are all in cahoots with each other. Let's keep Americans
sick by giving him shitty food. Then they go to
big Pharma and get blood pressure me because they're blood
pressures through the roof because they eat garbage all the time.
Speaker 2 (36:04):
Well, have you seen loop?
Speaker 3 (36:06):
Have you seen the tiktoks where people actually compare fruit
loops between Canada and the US.
Speaker 1 (36:13):
I guarantee you ours are full of straight garbage.
Speaker 3 (36:16):
Uh huh, not only the ingredients, but just even the
looks of them, Like putting them side by side.
Speaker 2 (36:20):
The US one is, you.
Speaker 3 (36:22):
Know, real vibrant with all these beautiful, vivid colors, and
then the Canada one is kind of dull looking. So
supposedly the Canadian flavor is way better than the American
So it's like, you make it look pretty, but it
tastes like garbage, and is garbage for you?
Speaker 1 (36:39):
Yeah? Well, even if it didn't taste like garbage, it's
like you, just because it tastes good doesn't mean it's
good for you. And our vibrant colors are due to
dye chemical dyes that aren't intended to be consumed by us.
And the other cool thing that he wants to do
is remove fluoride from all the water systems in the US.
Speaker 2 (37:01):
Did you see winter Haven, Florida? I did.
Speaker 1 (37:03):
I told you about that, did you. Winter Haven said
they're actually removing it. I think starting January first, they're
removing it from all water systems within that area. I
love it.
Speaker 2 (37:15):
It's like what you're not and a half away from us.
Speaker 1 (37:17):
Yeah, you're not supposed to ingest fluoride. I'm not no,
I'm not a scientist, but fluoride is a is not
for human consumption, right, Like, it's good for your teeth,
but brush them with fluoride. It'll seep into it and
you know, harden your teeth and stuff. But you're not
supposed to eat it every day. And it's in your water.
(37:40):
You use that all the time.
Speaker 2 (37:42):
To wash, to cook.
Speaker 3 (37:43):
Yeah, all the things, right, So I am really excited.
I do hope big things happen and change with him
in office.
Speaker 1 (37:51):
I do too. And I hope he goes after not
just the food people, but also big pharma for keeping
keeping America sick.
Speaker 2 (38:00):
I think, I really hope there's big changes.
Speaker 1 (38:03):
I think there will be. He's got to I'm telling you,
he's It feels different this time, just because of the
people he has chosen, they're they're clearly outsiders. RFK was
disenfranchised by his own party, which is crazy. Which is
crazy because he's sure they going to.
Speaker 3 (38:23):
Have next election season.
Speaker 1 (38:25):
It's it's gonna be a They're going to have to
really think and sit back and think about their party.
Speaker 3 (38:32):
Yeah, I can't imagine like who they would put up next,
Like there's not in my head a viable candidate. And
everyone that tried this last time before, you know, by
dropped out and Kamala happened, Like, yeah, they rejected.
Speaker 2 (38:48):
It's like RFK, I think could actually do some damage.
Speaker 1 (38:52):
RFK probably what he would have been a lot of
a tougher fight for Trump than Kamala was. Yeah, under
the current administration was not favorable to most of America,
clearly because the popular vote went to Trump, right, and
that is rare for the popular vote to go towards
(39:13):
a Republican rare, but it happened, and that shows a
rejection of Democrat policies. And I'm curious to see what
they do next time. Will they learn? Oh, now they should,
but we'll see.
Speaker 3 (39:31):
I'm just sick of feeling like it's Game of Thrones
out there. In the political world.
Speaker 2 (39:35):
It's crazy Game of Thrones.
Speaker 3 (39:37):
Speaking of Netflix, I don't know it's network. Segues are all, yeah,
they are.
Speaker 1 (39:47):
I'm confused.
Speaker 2 (39:48):
Did you see that Jake Paul Entyson fight?
Speaker 1 (39:52):
Did you I did see that Jake Paul Entyson scriptedness?
Speaker 2 (39:59):
I mean, do you think it was scripted? Let's start there.
Speaker 1 (40:03):
Do I think it was? Yes, one thousand percent.
Speaker 2 (40:06):
I agree.
Speaker 3 (40:06):
I think that Mike Tyson took a twenty million dollar dive,
and I don't blame him.
Speaker 1 (40:12):
I don't either. If at all, if you're gonna say, hey, Russ,
you have to go stand in a ring with this
dude lasts as long as you can, We'll give you
twenty million dollars at the end, no matter what happens.
I'most stand in there.
Speaker 2 (40:23):
Uh huh.
Speaker 1 (40:24):
But the reason why I think it was scripted, go
look up the training videos of Mike Tyson. They posted,
you know, promo shots of him and him training. The
dude looked phenomenal.
Speaker 2 (40:36):
Yes, for a fifty.
Speaker 1 (40:37):
Eight year old man. Yeah, for a fifty eight year
old man. He looked. I was like, this dude's going
to kill him. And then you see the way he
was moving in practice, and then all of a sudden
in the fight. You see, his typical thing was like
to get small and then explode on you. He would
do that, and then he would rear up to do
(40:58):
like an uppercut or a or a right or left hook,
and then he would pull it yep, and then he
would immediately immediately bite his glove yep. I was like,
this dude is so angry right now. He wants to
kill him, but he knows he won't get paid.
Speaker 3 (41:12):
I think it was just his reminder to himself, like,
don't do it.
Speaker 1 (41:17):
Need twenty million dollars, don't hit him.
Speaker 2 (41:19):
I mean, I don't know. I feel like I would
have taken the dive too. Do you think it hurts
his legacy?
Speaker 1 (41:26):
I don't. Would you care?
Speaker 2 (41:31):
What should Mike Tyson care?
Speaker 1 (41:33):
Or I'm saying if you or Mike Tyson, would you care?
Speaker 3 (41:37):
Well, it sounds like he needs the money.
Speaker 1 (41:39):
He does he's so more.
Speaker 3 (41:40):
No, he shouldn't care or probably doesn't care. But at
the same time, it's like, does that hurt his legacy?
And I honestly don't think it does because everybody knows
it was a dive.
Speaker 1 (41:50):
Well, it's not just that, it's like fifty eight year
old man just got paid twenty million dollars for noth
you know, for eight rounds. For eight rounds. I mean, yeah,
he got punched a bunch of times, his phase hurt.
But and exactly it was it was a I didn't
like it. I thought it was stupid, and then Netflix
(42:11):
servers were dumb as hell.
Speaker 2 (42:12):
Yeah, streaming quality.
Speaker 1 (42:13):
I can't. God, if they do that during during the
Christmas break and where when football is on during Christmas Day,
when everybody's at home and they're sitting around the TV
after opening presents and stuff, there's going to be riots.
Speaker 2 (42:28):
Well.
Speaker 3 (42:28):
See, I think they should have done it like the reverse, right,
because everybody in the world wanted to watch that fight,
Yeah for sure, whereas I feel like football becomes more
regional and not everybody in the world is gonna watch it,
So it would have been more of like a soft
launch for what they could handle exactly, because now you
(42:48):
need to buy more servers in Ashburne, Virginia, which is
where all the servers are in the world.
Speaker 1 (42:52):
Yeah. Well, and not just that, it's like your production
of the fight was complete worse, God.
Speaker 2 (43:01):
The production was awful.
Speaker 1 (43:06):
It was comically that where are we We're supposed to
be focusing on her, so I can talk about her
entrance into the stadium.
Speaker 2 (43:13):
It's like, it was, how horrible?
Speaker 3 (43:16):
And then even the commentators the way they would talk
to each other, the one main guy who was, you know,
introducing all the fighters, and then I forget what the
lady's name is, the actress lady, and the other guy
that was with her, So it's those three, but the
loudmouth white guy, he just kept getting closer and closer.
Speaker 1 (43:34):
She's like, she did not like that dude. And I'm like,
you know, he's spitting all over She's like, and you
know that is just spraying.
Speaker 3 (43:47):
So I mean, like, overall production was horrible. So I
hope the NFL takes over production.
Speaker 1 (43:55):
Well that I do think because the NFL has those
you know, TV and all that stuff in the bag already,
they know how to do it. It'll be fine. And
that aspect My concern is performance of the servers, right,
buffering buffering.
Speaker 3 (44:11):
Well, did you hear that people are actually class action lawsuit?
Speaker 2 (44:15):
Yeah, against Netflix for over fifty million.
Speaker 1 (44:17):
I don't understand what they're all getting a dollar? What
do they expect is gonna happen?
Speaker 2 (44:22):
How many people do you think subscribe to Netflix?
Speaker 1 (44:25):
All of them?
Speaker 3 (44:26):
Like, but seriously, like, say it's a billion people.
Speaker 2 (44:29):
What is fifty million going to do for.
Speaker 1 (44:32):
Five hundred million people? Okay, it's yeah, you don't get nothing.
You're to me, you're suing them for no reason because
you can. First off, you can watch it later. And
I don't think they're promising you anything like performance wise,
like Okay, it crapped out, watch it tomorrow.
Speaker 2 (44:52):
Yep, well watch it tomorrow. Let them keep that fifty
million and buy more servers.
Speaker 1 (44:57):
I don't I don't understand people. I mean, maybe they
give everybody an hour extra of Netflix Premium.
Speaker 2 (45:06):
Yeah, I mean like an hour? What's an hour?
Speaker 1 (45:09):
Though?
Speaker 2 (45:09):
Like the show?
Speaker 1 (45:11):
Like yeah, they extend your your monthly bill by one day.
There you go and then there you go, you got
a free day.
Speaker 2 (45:19):
It's crazy.
Speaker 3 (45:20):
But the idea that that arena, that stadium was sold out,
I don't know, Like I I can see that this
is just gonna.
Speaker 2 (45:26):
Keep going for Jake Paul.
Speaker 1 (45:28):
Why wouldn't it.
Speaker 2 (45:29):
He's the money train right now.
Speaker 1 (45:31):
People are hating on the dude, but you have without
his brother, you have to admit that he's making a
lot of money doing this crap, even if it's a scripted,
fake garbage, He's making a lot of money.
Speaker 2 (45:48):
He is the money man, that's for sure.
Speaker 1 (45:51):
I mean, I don't think they've released actual numbers of
what he made, but I heard it.
Speaker 3 (45:56):
Was a lot, I'm sure. But he more than Tyson
has to pay everybody. So you're saying what he actually took.
Speaker 1 (46:02):
Home though, yeah, way more than Mike Tyson. A lot.
But I did well, I watched highlights, but the girl
fight prior to Mike Tyson, that was that was the
one to watch.
Speaker 2 (46:13):
Really yeah, well it yeah, but.
Speaker 1 (46:17):
I did watch highlights and that was a bloodbath. I
do think the fighter that didn't win should have won,
just like the first fight. I think the Irish girl
that won, she shouldn't have won. I think the other
one did a lot better.
Speaker 2 (46:32):
But I don't know, didn't see it.
Speaker 1 (46:35):
They have to. They gotta make a story. They got
to make you come back for round three.
Speaker 3 (46:39):
Me Meanwhile, you've got Jones out there, John Jones.
Speaker 1 (46:46):
Yeah, you're kicking people's asses left and right.
Speaker 2 (46:49):
Uh huh.
Speaker 3 (46:50):
And he's already talking about his next fight, So.
Speaker 1 (46:53):
Jake Paul should go fight him.
Speaker 2 (46:55):
Ooh two heavyweights.
Speaker 1 (46:57):
Yeah, go fight him. Stop being a bitch and fight
somebody who can actually fight.
Speaker 2 (47:01):
Uh huh, who won't take a dive?
Speaker 1 (47:02):
Right? Well, I'm not I'm not saying Mike Tyson can't fight,
because he clearly can fight.
Speaker 3 (47:08):
Yes, but who won't take a dive? Yeah, he doesn't
need your money, Jake Paul, Well.
Speaker 1 (47:13):
I think I think he should fight uh McGregor. McGregor's
billionaire now or something like that, so he won't need
your money.
Speaker 2 (47:22):
Although I don't know, like I still feel like McGregor
he's a shit.
Speaker 1 (47:26):
Did you hear about all that stuff that just happened
to him? No, he got he had to pay up
some amount of money for I can't remember assault something
or other. God not surprised man, poor man.
Speaker 3 (47:42):
Meaning just like he can't stay out of trouble, It
just follows him, I swear to my goodness.
Speaker 1 (47:48):
Well, you know, maybe it'll straighten his ass up, hopefully,
because sometimes people need a kick in the ass, wake
up call, wake up call, and maybe he needs that
because I think he's got a lot going for him.
He sold that liquor brand or whatever, and I can't
(48:09):
remember he's got a record label. I think he signed exhibit. Yeah,
he brought him back next to the Z exhibit West
Coast Customs.
Speaker 2 (48:18):
I missed that. I missed that so much.
Speaker 1 (48:21):
Yeah, me too. He signed him and stuff. But it's like, dude,
just fucking relax. Yeah. I think he did a statement
like I made mistakes because he cheated on his wife.
He said, I've made mistakes. I cheated on the girl
I love the most or whatever, and it's like, dude,
what are you doing?
Speaker 3 (48:40):
Let me talk about it all the time. Though, when
people get rich, they get bored.
Speaker 1 (48:42):
They gotta go you don't, you can't. You can buy
anything you want, but then you start going towards that
taboo shit. Yep, that's unattainable by money. But it's like
morality type shit, right, it's creepy yep, so moral a story.
Speaker 3 (49:02):
Don't get rich, don't get rich, or or you could
take a dive like Tyson.
Speaker 1 (49:07):
I would probably do that though, for real. All right,
Jake Paul, I'm calling you out, come fight me. I'll
do it for ten million. I'm cold love you.

Speaker 2 (00:08):
Here is this week's episode. He's it did not need
all that it does.
Speaker 1 (00:19):
Look at it. Look at it. You can hide deaf
see my ZiT.
Speaker 2 (00:23):
That's how we're gonna start it.
Speaker 1 (00:25):
Yeah, it's annoying, man, Like we record a podcast episode
every two weeks, and this is the week that I
decided to turn into a teenager.
Speaker 3 (00:34):
Well that, I mean, that's what happens, right, especially when
you're eating all the story.
Speaker 2 (00:38):
Eating tis the season.
Speaker 1 (00:40):
We did eat, and we did eat good on Thanksgiving.
Speaker 2 (00:44):
It was it was so good us.
Speaker 1 (00:47):
It was good. So I cooked a turkey on a
tragger right.
Speaker 2 (00:50):
Oh, here we go with your ego.
Speaker 1 (00:51):
It was so good. It was one of the best
turkeys I've ever had.
Speaker 3 (00:55):
And everybody told him so, oh yeah.
Speaker 1 (00:57):
It was so good. And the turkey with cree old butter.
Speaker 2 (01:05):
Our kidd was so grossed out.
Speaker 1 (01:06):
Yes, it was weird. So that the injectory it's like
a big needle and you stick it into the breast
and you essentially pump it full of butter. I gave
it to our kid because she was like, I want
to do it, and I let her do it, and
she physically shook like oh, that's gross. And I was like, well,
don't do it no more. She said no, but I
(01:27):
want to. It was the weirdest it's like gross style,
but at the same time she liked it.
Speaker 2 (01:34):
I mean it did taste really good though. It was good,
very good. Stroke your ego a little bit.
Speaker 1 (01:38):
Turkey's hard to cook and not let it get dry.
But that was super good.
Speaker 2 (01:44):
It was a very good turkey.
Speaker 3 (01:45):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (01:46):
And we also had no say it one more time.
It was really good, honey.
Speaker 3 (01:51):
We also had pumpkin pie, We had these little pre
lean things.
Speaker 1 (01:55):
We had cake because it was like a belated birthday
for me.
Speaker 2 (02:00):
So it was all the things right. So it's not
it's it's not because of you.
Speaker 1 (02:05):
I still looking down.
Speaker 2 (02:08):
Staying out of up. Yeah. So we got a new light,
we got a new camera.
Speaker 1 (02:12):
This light is the size of your anus.
Speaker 2 (02:17):
Wait the planet.
Speaker 1 (02:18):
No, oh, okay, your anus.
Speaker 3 (02:20):
Okay, it's brighter than the Florida sun.
Speaker 1 (02:24):
It is it is. I do feel like every time
we do a podcast episode we must apply sunscreen.
Speaker 3 (02:31):
I feel like we just keep amping up our little
studio here in our extra bedroom of our house.
Speaker 1 (02:36):
We do.
Speaker 2 (02:38):
We're acting our pay grade.
Speaker 1 (02:39):
Though. Yeah, it's this light's so big that I can't
really walk around in here, and I feel the heat
from it, that's how close it is.
Speaker 2 (02:49):
But I'm glad for the heat because I'm freaking cold
right now.
Speaker 1 (02:52):
Florida stupid.
Speaker 2 (02:54):
It is going through a mood swing because it is
so cold.
Speaker 1 (02:57):
It's making me mad.
Speaker 2 (02:58):
It was what forty nine this morning?
Speaker 1 (03:00):
Morning? Yeah, and you decided I don't know what hair
crawled up your ass, but good lord, oh my god,
time to get up. We gotta go Eat'm like, no.
Speaker 2 (03:11):
I don't want it hot coffee.
Speaker 3 (03:13):
We have a curate we do, but I wanted hot
coffee and hot breakfast, and it was we talked about.
Speaker 2 (03:18):
It last night, so it was time get up and
go get breakth We did.
Speaker 1 (03:21):
Talk about it last night. And that's our weekly tradition,
I guess, is either on Saturday or Sunday, we go
out to breakfast, family breakfast, family breakfast, because honestly, I
feel like, especially on the weekends, that is all of
our favorite meal of the day.
Speaker 3 (03:37):
Mm hmmm, yes, big breakfast. Yes, it's yes, yes. And
then during the week it's you know, family dinners. But
typically that morning on a weekend, give me some hot coffee.
Speaker 2 (03:47):
Because I was frozen.
Speaker 1 (03:48):
And speaking of family dinners, we've begun just recently. I
know it took a while. But putting our phones away, yeah,
I mean.
Speaker 3 (03:56):
I think we've tried to do that for a while.
We're making a point of it.
Speaker 1 (04:00):
Are actually physically putting our phone somewhere where it's out
of reach and you can't hear it, you can't respond,
and it makes a big difference.
Speaker 2 (04:11):
It does.
Speaker 3 (04:11):
But the things that we do for entertainment at the
table just seems to keep diving, devolving into Yeah.
Speaker 1 (04:18):
The game that we do, so we've mouthed random sounds.
We don't say it, we don't physically say it out loud,
but we mouth it and then just like that, and
then the other people have to guess what you were saying.
It's the weirdest thing, but it is fun. We do that.
Speaker 2 (04:40):
We try to make each other laugh.
Speaker 1 (04:42):
We do Alexa Jeopardy and then Alexa twenty questions, Alexa uh,
smarter than a fifth grader. We enjoy all those Alexa games.
Speaker 3 (04:53):
They're pretty Oh, don't say that too loud.
Speaker 1 (04:56):
No, she's listening.
Speaker 3 (04:58):
But I think overall, you know, we're trying to really
get in the spirit, right now, especially with the cold weather.
Speaker 1 (05:04):
I'm not why you guys are nuts.
Speaker 2 (05:08):
You are so humbug.
Speaker 1 (05:09):
I'm not. You say that, but I am not. You know,
I'm not humbug. It's just not December yet.
Speaker 2 (05:16):
We'll get to that in a moment.
Speaker 3 (05:17):
But we recently, along with family members went to Busch
Gardens and we did the Christmas Town experience.
Speaker 1 (05:25):
Yes, and for the most part, I'm not gonna say
I was super super impressed. I think Disney is a
lot better, like decorations and Christmas Eve stuff, but there
were some highlights.
Speaker 2 (05:40):
I think you.
Speaker 3 (05:41):
Can't even compare it to Disney. Let's just no, you cannot.
Disney and Universal are like top tier.
Speaker 2 (05:47):
Like they go. They are huge parks. They go all out.
Speaker 3 (05:49):
They have a huge, huge budget. You can't even put
Tampa Bay Busch Gardens in the same category.
Speaker 1 (05:56):
Yeah, but the fact that we spent eleven dollars for
the year for three season passes makes me think that
yes we should, we can put it on that level.
Speaker 2 (06:09):
That it's very expensive, Oh.
Speaker 1 (06:13):
I mean we have I will say we have gotten
our money's worth. We've been to so we have Platinum passes,
which is their top level. It comes with free parking,
which I think is at least thirty bucks every time
you go per car. And then we went to REFERD
Parking Preferred Park. Yes, so you get the upfront parking.
You don't have to ride the little uh peasant mobile.
(06:37):
I'm not saying that as a as a as an insult,
but it's it sucks. Yeah, it's a park. You can
walk right to your car and I have to wait
in line after you're done at the park. Anyway, we
went to SeaWorld, we went to Bush Gardens a bunch
of times. We went to aquatic Club, aquatic Club Aquatica.
(06:57):
We didn't go to Aquatica. We went to Adventure Island there.
The only one we haven't been to is Aquatica, not club.
Speaker 3 (07:06):
Okay, so yeah, but you also get a bunch of
passes with our membership, so we get to take family members.
Speaker 2 (07:14):
I think it's paid for itself, but.
Speaker 1 (07:16):
It has just based on we went. Where do we go.
We went to Busch Gardens a couple months back and
we had a party of nine yep, so you yea yeah,
but so six additional people that's a lot.
Speaker 2 (07:30):
Mm hmmm, yep. We've done that what twice? Three times.
Speaker 1 (07:33):
Now, Yeah, we brought your your side of the family,
then we brought my side of the family to SeaWorld
and we spent the day at SeaWorld with my parents. Yep.
So it definitely has paid for itself. But I still
don't think it was up there with Disney. I don't
know how the heck they do all that stuff.
Speaker 3 (07:55):
It is, it really is. I don't think you can
compare Bush Gardens to Disney.
Speaker 1 (08:00):
But I'm just saying based on pricing.
Speaker 3 (08:02):
But the overall experience that we had at Christmas Town
and Bush Gardens this year, I think was I enjoyed it?
Speaker 1 (08:10):
I mean, was it worth going to I say yes, yeah,
at least once.
Speaker 2 (08:15):
Yes.
Speaker 1 (08:15):
The reason why I say that Christmas on Ice they
have the little skate show. It was good. I'm not
gonna lie though. When we walked into that auditorium to
watch it, I was like, this is going to suck.
Speaker 3 (08:29):
Well, okay, so they have like two feet of the
ice showing and you're like, what is that? But then
they have the screen right and the screen you're playing
interviews with the performers and trying to get you in
the Christmas mood, and then the screen rolls up and
then it's like a.
Speaker 2 (08:42):
Fifty foot Yeah.
Speaker 1 (08:43):
But the fact that it was at first just those
like six feet, I couldn't. I was like, what are
they going to do on that? Yeah, It's like what
are they going to do?
Speaker 2 (08:53):
Because I thought it was just going to be a
show on the screen, to be honest, That's.
Speaker 1 (08:56):
What I thought too, because it was covering everything and
then all the sudden that lifts away. I was like, ah,
I see what you did there?
Speaker 2 (09:04):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (09:04):
It was really That part was probably my absolute favorite
because watching our kiddo watch the show, Yeah, that was awesome.
She was so focused on it. She was, you know, ah,
on everything.
Speaker 2 (09:19):
Did you see that light?
Speaker 1 (09:20):
And the first thing she said when we left was
I want to learn how to skate, So, you know,
it had an effect on her when she's all into
it and she wants to go out and now ice skate.
Speaker 3 (09:33):
Absolutely, I that was probably one of my favorite parts.
I mean, you know, the lights throughout the park were
really pretty.
Speaker 1 (09:39):
Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (09:40):
Then they had a couple of other experiences where it
was Missus Clawsread's bedtime Story and then you can meet
a nice princess, you can you know, different experiences. But
then we got towards the end of the park and
it was the North Pole Experience.
Speaker 1 (09:57):
With Senna that was the best part to me.
Speaker 2 (10:00):
I mean, I agree that part was really good.
Speaker 1 (10:03):
I mean, I guess it was the best part because
of how interactive it was for our kiddo, like the
Christmas on Ice thing. Yeah, she loved it, but she's
not involved. She's just watching this like every it's this building.
It looks like a house that's in the middle of
the park and they completely dress it up. As you're
(10:26):
in the North Pole. It's called the North Pole Experience,
and you walk in and there's elves everywhere, not real
elves or are.
Speaker 2 (10:35):
They they're no Pole elves?
Speaker 3 (10:38):
Yes, okay, anyways, and they're asking the kid, has your
elf arrived yet? They try to remember your ELF's name,
They talk about you know what you're about to do.
They really try and get the kid involved.
Speaker 2 (10:48):
With the experience.
Speaker 3 (10:50):
And then you start walking down the hollyway.
Speaker 2 (10:53):
It's covered in holly.
Speaker 3 (10:55):
It's very cute, and you get to a door and
you have to use your math in order to open
the door.
Speaker 2 (11:02):
And I'll pop.
Speaker 3 (11:02):
Sanna and Santa was amazing, like they were doing funny
faces together and taking pictures, but then also had the
serious ones. The way they interacted together, like it was
a really cute experience.
Speaker 1 (11:14):
I think so too. I think it was really good.
The only thing was I think Santa was a little
tuned up. It's a little bit. He slurred a couple times.
And I don't blame him.
Speaker 2 (11:24):
I'm not filling with kids all day.
Speaker 1 (11:25):
I'm not knocking him for it because I probably would
too if that was, you know, my gig. But yeah,
he was a little tuned up, and he slurred a
couple of times, and I was like, Eh, Sana.
Speaker 2 (11:36):
A little too much, Edna, Sanna.
Speaker 1 (11:37):
You like that, Jack Daniels, don't you sinna h?
Speaker 3 (11:41):
I think seeing the lights throughout the park and those
two things were like the big standout.
Speaker 2 (11:47):
Yes, so mean, I thought it was good.
Speaker 1 (11:49):
It was good. I just I don't think I would ever.
I would go again to bring like our nephews and stuff,
but I wouldn't see Disney. I would go to the same.
Speaker 2 (11:59):
Part again over and over and over.
Speaker 1 (12:02):
Would I wouldn't purposefully go to Christmas Town again unless
they announced something new or something like that.
Speaker 2 (12:11):
Yeah, or you're bringing somebody new.
Speaker 1 (12:13):
Yeah, Like I wouldn't bring us three again on purpose. Me.
I just don't it was okay. It was good to
see once.
Speaker 2 (12:22):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (12:23):
And that's the other thing too, is it's getting chilly out,
so the animal stuff is a lot of it's closed.
YEA understandable, but monkeys don't go there and think you're
going to see all kinds of their animal experiences and
all that. But I mean it was good. I would
definitely recommend it at least once.
Speaker 2 (12:43):
Awesome.
Speaker 3 (12:45):
So the great debate right now is whether or not
you put up your Christmas decorations.
Speaker 2 (12:50):
I think that's you know, on all social media is
do you put up.
Speaker 3 (12:56):
Do you put up Christmas decorations before Thanksgiving or after
or on a specific you know, December first for example,
and I think for us, for me specifically, it's the
day after Thanksgiving. That's when everything goes up. You can
start putting up your Christmas decorations, which we started to
do where you've finally finished today, but all of our
(13:18):
Christmas decorations are at see.
Speaker 1 (13:20):
And I thought about this a little bit. I don't
think you should do it until December. But at the
same time you have time off for Thanksgiving, right, so
that makes sense to me. But I do think it's
early when you're putting stuff up and it's not even
December yet. I don't get that. I don't like the
(13:42):
stores that decide in October to put out Easter stuff
that's not much.
Speaker 3 (13:49):
But I make your point, But I mean overall, I
think when it comes to decorating, it should be the
day after Thanksgiving. But our kidda was actually having an
argument with one of our friends as to whether or
not her birthday or kiddo's birthday is a couple of
days before Christmas. Is the is part of a winter
birthday or is it a fall birthday? So her birthday
(14:13):
being in you know the early well, a few days
five days before Christmas, will say, and that's technically before
the winter season starts.
Speaker 1 (14:25):
No, no, it's it's a winter birthday.
Speaker 3 (14:29):
But winter starts on or around December twenty first. I
think it will be the twenty first this year.
Speaker 1 (14:34):
Who decided that, because that's god crack hit, Well, you
might want to take a couple of steps back away
from me because I'm about to get struck by lightning.
Speaker 3 (14:47):
Well it's base Sorry, it's based on the way the
earth tilts, right, Who.
Speaker 1 (14:53):
Decided to tilt it? That way. It don't make sense.
Speaker 2 (14:55):
God.
Speaker 1 (14:56):
Sorry, So December is winter. I don't care what anybody says.
I don't care what the flippy flip of the earth is.
December is winter.
Speaker 2 (15:08):
Well, so in my.
Speaker 3 (15:09):
Head I think I agree with you too, because it's
like when you think of winter, you think of.
Speaker 2 (15:14):
You know, Christmas. So when do you start degrading for Christmas?
Speaker 1 (15:19):
Yes, I don't.
Speaker 2 (15:20):
Again, to me, right after Thanksgiving we can call it winter.
Speaker 1 (15:25):
I agree. I think like Thanksgiving to me is the
last day of fall, I agree, or the end of fall, yes,
and then we are diving into winter directly thereafter, and
it's cold, but it's like the holiday season, right. You
don't get just saying December twenty first is the beginning
of winter. That's like three days before Christmas. Yeah, and
(15:49):
especially people that aren't in Florida, you're suffering from winter
season in October. In October, so no winter is in December, agreed,
December one?
Speaker 2 (16:03):
Yep?
Speaker 1 (16:03):
Agreed That flippy flop earth thing is dumb.
Speaker 2 (16:08):
That's science, honey.
Speaker 1 (16:10):
Yeah, well I'm a scientist.
Speaker 2 (16:12):
It sounds like it. Yep.
Speaker 3 (16:14):
So did you see what the new toy craze is
for this year's Christmas gifts.
Speaker 1 (16:20):
No, I bet I can guess one of them is
probably something to do with that Wicked movie.
Speaker 2 (16:24):
Yes, yeah, what's your other guests?
Speaker 1 (16:29):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (16:31):
Even guess one.
Speaker 1 (16:32):
That's the only one, and I'm guessing.
Speaker 3 (16:34):
Okay, good, Yeah, the Wicked dolls are out, you know,
for purchase, and most recently they just.
Speaker 2 (16:41):
Had they had a little kerfuffle, a little kerfuffle with
their packaging.
Speaker 1 (16:45):
I read about this and there ain't no way this
happened on accident right there, new way. How many people
do these packaging things go through before they get released
for mass production, right.
Speaker 3 (16:59):
Before they head out the door for people to buy.
If you haven't heard.
Speaker 2 (17:02):
There was a QR code on the box for these dolls.
Speaker 1 (17:06):
It took you straight to a porno site. How, I
don't know.
Speaker 2 (17:11):
How does that happen?
Speaker 1 (17:13):
But that's not even a good like to me. Okay,
maybe they had mock ups and placeholder QR codes to
design it and stuff, and that's not even a good placeholder.
That's not safe for work. So all the people working
on that at work should be fired for going to
porn sites.
Speaker 3 (17:32):
It doesn't even make any sense if that was a
placeholder it's like, that's what I'm saying.
Speaker 2 (17:36):
At one point, somebody had to have checked.
Speaker 1 (17:38):
Yeah, somebody's like, oh booph oh No.
Speaker 3 (17:41):
I don't think it was on accident either. Somebody did
something along the way.
Speaker 1 (17:47):
Somebody trolled and it made it probably a lot further
than they expected.
Speaker 2 (17:53):
AI did it.
Speaker 1 (17:53):
They were like, A, I did it. That was AI's rickroll.
Speaker 2 (17:59):
But I you know, I was thinking back on it.
Speaker 3 (18:01):
They say, a lot of in you window is in
a lot of different Disney movies, a lot of different
kids things, because they put it in there for following
the parents. But Kristen Bell, the actress who voiced Anna
and Frozen, came out recently and said that she put
why have a ballroom with no balls?
Speaker 2 (18:20):
She did it on purpose for the parents.
Speaker 3 (18:22):
I'm just like, okay, but why that. That honestly didn't
connect for me at all until she said that, I'm like, oh, okay.
Speaker 1 (18:29):
Maybe there's a difference between innuendo in the direct link
I think true. Like one is straight up scan this code,
go to porn site. One is it could be taken
a certain way.
Speaker 3 (18:43):
Yeah, if they put that QR code up in the
middle of a Disney movie.
Speaker 1 (18:47):
Right, if a poster in the background, and Woody's room
had a QR code taking you to whatever porn site
that that is. That's not innuendo.
Speaker 2 (18:57):
Uh huh, that is, that's blatant.
Speaker 1 (18:59):
Yeah, so I'm pretty sure that it was one purpose.
Speaker 3 (19:04):
I think so too collect them. You know that if I.
Speaker 1 (19:10):
Had one of those things, I'd be sealing that thing
up in an air tight, water tight container and putting
it somewhere dark so that it doesn't get you know,
sun faded, and selling that thing when the time comes,
because that is going to be worth boukoo bucks.
Speaker 3 (19:26):
I can't imagine why it would be worth that, but
I get your point.
Speaker 1 (19:30):
It'll be worth that much because it is a legit
collector's item that they stop producing. They pull the ones
that existed, and you essentially have something that no one
else can get.
Speaker 2 (19:43):
I guess it's.
Speaker 1 (19:45):
It's dumb, but that's what people like. Pokemon is another example,
like if there's a misprint, if they spell something wrong
on a card, those are worth more money. It's like,
but that thing's broke. Yeah, that it's why it's worth more.
There's seven of them versus ten thousand of them.
Speaker 2 (20:03):
I guess.
Speaker 3 (20:04):
Can you imagine someone giving it, who hasn't heard about
the box issue, hasn't heard about the QR issue, actually giving.
Speaker 1 (20:10):
That to their kid, Well, hopefully their kids young enough
to not have a cell phone to scan it with.
Speaker 2 (20:16):
But I mean, what kid doesn't have a tablet these days?
Speaker 1 (20:19):
Turn off your QR code scanners on your kid's tablet, turn.
Speaker 2 (20:22):
Off the camera camera. So I was thinking back in
the day sometimes, but not about this.
Speaker 3 (20:31):
So back in the day, we used to go from
the clubs, the bars that we would herbs back in
our twenties. Uh, and then we would go to I
hup and have you know, early morning breakfast after you know,
a night of drinking. Right, I was typically g d idea.
Speaker 1 (20:51):
You never drunk. I drunk. You never drank, I.
Speaker 2 (20:54):
Mean not often.
Speaker 1 (20:58):
If we would go out, we would go to this
place called Norris in northern Virginia and it was like
a hookah bar. It's about the size of a shoe box.
So you couldn't do nothing in there but sit down
and drink, and you would. You would have one at
the beginning of the night and then we would I
would be getting plastered and you would be you know,
(21:20):
that was it because you didn't really you never really
liked drinking at all.
Speaker 3 (21:24):
No, I more go for either atmosphere dancing experience.
Speaker 1 (21:28):
It wasn't just it was your friends too, right.
Speaker 3 (21:31):
Yep, No, I've never been a big drinker. I have
my moments, but not like that. But anyways, so you know.
Speaker 2 (21:36):
After a night out, we were responsible, right.
Speaker 3 (21:39):
I would I would typically drive us to I Hop
and we would all get you know, late night breakfast,
sober up, drink some coffee, some pancakes, and then go.
Speaker 1 (21:50):
Home try to nurse the hangover.
Speaker 3 (21:52):
Right, it's you know, it's the sobering moment. It's the
end of the night.
Speaker 1 (21:55):
Yeah. It was like our it was our what do
you call it down downtime or unwind times? There you go.
We were all hyped up, we were all partying, and
now it's time to take a step back. It was
like the next phase of our night life.
Speaker 2 (22:11):
Right.
Speaker 3 (22:12):
Well, I love now combining I Hop with Applebee's.
Speaker 1 (22:18):
Stupid they're removing my unwind exactly because I'm gonna go
get me a Long Island iced tea from Applebee's.
Speaker 3 (22:25):
But they also have all those specials, right, they had
like dollar Margarita's or whatever.
Speaker 2 (22:30):
It's like that they would have.
Speaker 1 (22:32):
Y'all want to go to I Hop to to unwind
and kind of you know, refresh yourself the night and
the night it's time to go, and it's like, hey,
we have happy hour all the time. Dollar margarita, Well
give me seven with my eggs.
Speaker 3 (22:48):
That's what I'm saying, Like, I couldn't imagine back then
in our twenties when it was end of the night
you go to I Hop, But now they have Applebee's.
Speaker 2 (22:56):
I'm telling them I would never be able to get
you to go home.
Speaker 1 (22:58):
No, well, arty.
Speaker 2 (23:00):
Would never end.
Speaker 1 (23:01):
Last call would kill it. That's one thing that I
was right, yes, because I thought Virginia last call everywhere.
Speaker 2 (23:09):
Was two yes.
Speaker 3 (23:10):
But here in Florida, I think Miami. I don't know
what time last call is.
Speaker 1 (23:15):
I don't think there is one, to be honest with you,
because I had a friend who frequented Miami, and yeah,
he said he would drink all night, right.
Speaker 2 (23:24):
So I don't think I would ever get you to
be able to.
Speaker 1 (23:26):
Go home like, no, well, you'd have to drag me
out of it, right. That's so embarrassing. I look back
on that stuff too, and I'm like.
Speaker 2 (23:35):
Well, you're young, I know, but it's so gross. But
then you would be at an Applebee's.
Speaker 1 (23:44):
Yeah, yeah, because knowing me, I would have went to
the I Hop a Bee's and got me eggs and
pancakes and bacon with a Long Island iced tea. It
doesn't make sense. I'd be eating my breakfast while drinking,
getting more drunk.
Speaker 2 (24:03):
It doesn't make sense.
Speaker 1 (24:05):
They're ruining it for me. I'm going to Denny's.
Speaker 2 (24:07):
Yeah, waffle House, that's the Florida classic.
Speaker 1 (24:11):
Yeah, waffle House Warrior Princess.
Speaker 2 (24:14):
That lady was so strong she is.
Speaker 1 (24:18):
She got a chair thrown at her and she knocked
it out of the air like it was nothing.
Speaker 2 (24:22):
Adrenaline, adrenalin.
Speaker 1 (24:24):
I would if I would have done that and somebody
knocked a chair out of the air that I threw,
I'm knocking out you got it. You win, you win.
I record me saying it, you win. Whatever I was
trying to do, I'm not doing it no more. You
don't even have to serve me. I will pay how
(24:46):
much did my meal cost that you didn't serve me?
I will pay for it and I will give you tip.
Kind of like, oh, this is kind of a weird segue.
Speaker 2 (24:59):
So now I feel like my segues are just like.
Speaker 1 (25:02):
We're talking about a movie now.
Speaker 3 (25:04):
Yes, so movie hadle like we recently watched it.
Speaker 1 (25:10):
Yes, and just just forewarning spoiler alerts, they're coming. Spoiler, spoiler, spoiler.
I hate time travel.
Speaker 2 (25:21):
It breaks your brain up.
Speaker 1 (25:22):
I like it, but I hate it at the same time.
Speaker 2 (25:25):
So your favorite type of movies are like sci fi.
Speaker 1 (25:28):
Well sci fi, that's why we've chose this movie, right,
Plus it had like a resurgence I think, yeah, it
came out a while back, but it's now streaming, so
that's why we watched it too. It like kind of
like popped up on all these feeds, and plus I
kept seeing it on like social media. Go watch the movie,
Go watch this movie, and I'm like, it sounds kind
of cool.
Speaker 3 (25:48):
But no, every time we watch something that has to
do with time travel, it's like playing two hundred questions,
like trying to get you caught up.
Speaker 2 (25:57):
I feel happening.
Speaker 1 (25:59):
I feel stupid. That's one hundred percent you're not, No,
but I feel stupid. I still feel stupid from that movie,
and we watched it like two weeks ago.
Speaker 2 (26:08):
Well, like I feel like we had this conversation.
Speaker 1 (26:11):
She still has to feed me.
Speaker 3 (26:14):
We had a similar conversation about terminator like the new terminators,
and I'm trying to think of what the other ones were.
But anything time travel.
Speaker 1 (26:24):
Related don't matter.
Speaker 3 (26:26):
Right, the brain gets broken. So I'm gonna spoil a
little bit here. Here we go when it comes to
this movie, Right, there's a young girl. Let's say it's
twenty twenty four, and she's nine years old, and she
goes back in time. Well, I can see you calculating.
She goes back in time to the nineteen fifties, we'll say,
(26:46):
and from nineteen fifty to twenty twenty four, she grows up, right,
she lives her life, and she has a child in
that span of time, we'll say in nineteen ninety. So
she has a child in nineteen ninety and and she
that child then grows up to be a man, and
that man gets with another woman, has another child, and
(27:09):
then that another child, the grandchild of the woman who
went back in time, is also traveling in time. It
becomes the stepsister to the girl who went back in time.
Speaker 1 (27:24):
How does he exist though, when he's the one who
brought her back in time?
Speaker 3 (27:29):
He exists because she grew up, But he doesn't make
em size. So she's born in today's day, but she
went back in time and lived her life and was
able to have a child.
Speaker 1 (27:41):
But how was she born in today's day when you
just said she went back in time? I don't understand
that at all.
Speaker 2 (27:48):
She was if she was born.
Speaker 1 (27:50):
Today, she couldn't have an adult male kid that brings
her back in time.
Speaker 2 (27:57):
But she can because she grew up, had a child
in nineteen ninety. That child grew up and she went
back in time.
Speaker 1 (28:05):
She didn't. It's a movie. It's fake and I hate
it now I really like.
Speaker 3 (28:09):
It hill thinking about it, because she actually didn't. She
died a few years before he started to time travel. Yeah,
so thinking about it, I wonder if she actually died
when her new self was born, that wouldn't be in
the same twice.
Speaker 1 (28:28):
Well yeah, but if that was true, then that one
the stepsister, wouldn't be in the same timeline twice because
she was she saw herself, remembering she had to hide.
Speaker 3 (28:38):
From her Well, right, she saw herself when she was.
Speaker 1 (28:40):
A baby, and she saw herself as a teenager, because
remember she walked into the house said mom, da da
da dah.
Speaker 2 (28:47):
Right, But that's different from being born in that.
Speaker 1 (28:50):
Time like why I don't understand.
Speaker 2 (28:57):
Regardless, really good movie. It will break.
Speaker 1 (29:00):
I did like it. I know I'm kind of trashing
it just based on time travel, but it was really
good and really well done. I The ending wasn't great
to me, but it was an ending that was necessary
because it completely closed all the loops yep, lots of closure.
Speaker 3 (29:17):
It's not one of the ones that you feel walking
out like, oh.
Speaker 1 (29:20):
What the heck, what's this? What's that? Yeah? It was.
The ending was necessary. I won't say it was good,
but it was necessary because they think it was good.
They buttoned up. Everything makes me mad, it makes you mad,
but it was. It was good. I liked it. I
definitely recommend it if you like sci fi type movies
because it was it was definitely trippy.
Speaker 2 (29:40):
Speaking of sci fi.
Speaker 1 (29:44):
I'm kind of worried.
Speaker 3 (29:46):
Elon Musk and Hell, he's real, but everything he does
is like science and FI. I guess science and Fi
him and Elon Musk and Vivic Ramaswami, thank you. I
think that individual are now heads of the Department of
(30:08):
Government Efficiency aka Dodge.
Speaker 2 (30:12):
You break my brain every time you.
Speaker 1 (30:14):
Say that it's one hundred percent on purpose. Elon doesn't
do stuff like that on accident.
Speaker 2 (30:21):
I can't. I don't know why. I never realized, never
saw that until you said it.
Speaker 1 (30:26):
He loves memes. I mean, he's already said he wants
Dodge Dodge coin to take over the world, and all
of his models of Tesla's equal sexy Model S, Model three,
Model X, Model Y, not Model T, not Model T.
I did that earlier, but he Yeah, he does all
(30:47):
this stuff on purpose. There's if it's something like that
public facing, it's not on accident.
Speaker 3 (30:54):
I can't believe it when you said that, though, I
feel like my brain was blown, like I did not
put that together.
Speaker 1 (30:59):
KG he's a big supporter of that shit coin.
Speaker 3 (31:05):
Well, I will be curious to see what happens in
this next realm because the Department of Government Efficiency Dodge
is all about, you know, cutting cutting the fat and
slimming down the government. And I overall, what Trump said
(31:26):
four years well more than four years ago now when
he first got into office, was drain the swamp.
Speaker 2 (31:31):
So I think with Elon Musk and.
Speaker 3 (31:35):
Thank you Vivic, it's going to be a good balance
and hopefully they can actually accomplish something.
Speaker 1 (31:41):
They will. I think they will this time. I think
Trump if you listened to him on Joe Rogan earlier,
like a couple of weeks back right before the elections,
actually he talked about how he was brand new to
all this politics stuff and he didn't realize how big
it was and how corrupt it was, and everybody's out
(32:03):
it's a business essentially, everybody's out there and stabbing each
other in the back. And he admits, and it's it's
very rare to hear Trump admit wrong, seriously, like it's rare,
but he did. He admitted to picking some shitty people. Yeah,
and he I don't think he's making that mistake this
(32:25):
time because he's picking people like Elon. The swamp don't
like Elon. They were already talking about dismantling X Kamala
Harris and like her campaign and a bunch of other
stuff had had uh had had a bunch of internal
(32:49):
documents that we're talking about dismantling Elon Musk's X because
they don't like freedom of speech. I don't care what
you think. They were trying to suppress speech one hundred, trying.
Speaker 3 (33:04):
To everyone can have their own. That's what we're about
here at the unfiltered union, but having your own opinions,
you can say it and who.
Speaker 2 (33:11):
Cares, see, no big deal.
Speaker 1 (33:13):
See, but that's exactly why I did not really like
that side this time, because of the fact that they
didn't like just the opinions that were against theirs they
said it.
Speaker 3 (33:29):
I mean, so I think all of this, you know
how things went during the election, how things were going.
Speaker 2 (33:37):
You know what's going on right now in the.
Speaker 3 (33:39):
UK, Great Britain, whatever the heck it's called these days,
where they are, you know, trying to control.
Speaker 2 (33:46):
Speech and it's terribley well in jail over it.
Speaker 3 (33:48):
And I mean I get the point and purpose of it.
But I think with what they're trying to do with
the Department of Government efficiency, Yeah, I.
Speaker 1 (33:56):
Went off on a little tangent there.
Speaker 2 (33:57):
You did, so I'm bringing you back. It's okay back.
Speaker 3 (34:01):
But with Dodge, it's going to be interesting to see
if they can actually do what they said they were
going to do four years ago, I think eight years.
Speaker 1 (34:10):
Ago this time. I don't think Trump is going to
pull any punches. He's not worried about getting re elected.
He's choosing people that aren't swamp creatures.
Speaker 2 (34:20):
Swamp creatures, yeah, that's what they are.
Speaker 1 (34:22):
They didn't like RFK. They didn't let him run against
Joe Biden in this current administration during the Democratic primary,
and then they picked. They just picked. So he's I
don't think Trump is choosing like he chose last time.
Speaker 3 (34:42):
I can maybe agree with that, but I mean, RFK
to me is a huge win.
Speaker 2 (34:47):
Oh yeah, we'll see.
Speaker 1 (34:51):
No, he's going to be good. I like him.
Speaker 3 (34:53):
I hope they can do what they say they were
gonna do eight years ago. Hope they can do that
with the Dodge Dodge, But with RFK, I feel like
we're gonna get good outcomes of that.
Speaker 1 (35:08):
I really hope. So. I think he's definitely vocal and
a big proponent of American health.
Speaker 2 (35:17):
Yes.
Speaker 1 (35:18):
And when what cracked me up the most about all
this was when Trump chose him and Trump won. Big
pharma stocks took a shit.
Speaker 2 (35:27):
Nahuh good.
Speaker 1 (35:29):
They're scared. They should be. They shouldn't. They shouldn't have
that much pool in government and politics, right. Like the
fact that there's a lobby out there pushing for all
this stuff, this chemicals to be put in your body
is insane. It's like the food lobby in the pharma lobby.
(35:50):
Are all in cahoots with each other. Let's keep Americans
sick by giving him shitty food. Then they go to
big Pharma and get blood pressure me because they're blood
pressures through the roof because they eat garbage all the time.
Speaker 2 (36:04):
Well, have you seen loop?
Speaker 3 (36:06):
Have you seen the tiktoks where people actually compare fruit
loops between Canada and the US.
Speaker 1 (36:13):
I guarantee you ours are full of straight garbage.
Speaker 3 (36:16):
Uh huh, not only the ingredients, but just even the
looks of them, Like putting them side by side.
Speaker 2 (36:20):
The US one is, you.
Speaker 3 (36:22):
Know, real vibrant with all these beautiful, vivid colors, and
then the Canada one is kind of dull looking. So
supposedly the Canadian flavor is way better than the American
So it's like, you make it look pretty, but it
tastes like garbage, and is garbage for you?
Speaker 1 (36:39):
Yeah? Well, even if it didn't taste like garbage, it's
like you, just because it tastes good doesn't mean it's
good for you. And our vibrant colors are due to
dye chemical dyes that aren't intended to be consumed by us.
And the other cool thing that he wants to do
is remove fluoride from all the water systems in the US.
Speaker 2 (37:01):
Did you see winter Haven, Florida? I did.
Speaker 1 (37:03):
I told you about that, did you. Winter Haven said
they're actually removing it. I think starting January first, they're
removing it from all water systems within that area. I
love it.
Speaker 2 (37:15):
It's like what you're not and a half away from us.
Speaker 1 (37:17):
Yeah, you're not supposed to ingest fluoride. I'm not no,
I'm not a scientist, but fluoride is a is not
for human consumption, right, Like, it's good for your teeth,
but brush them with fluoride. It'll seep into it and
you know, harden your teeth and stuff. But you're not
supposed to eat it every day. And it's in your water.
(37:40):
You use that all the time.
Speaker 2 (37:42):
To wash, to cook.
Speaker 3 (37:43):
Yeah, all the things, right, So I am really excited.
I do hope big things happen and change with him
in office.
Speaker 1 (37:51):
I do too. And I hope he goes after not
just the food people, but also big pharma for keeping
keeping America sick.
Speaker 2 (38:00):
I think, I really hope there's big changes.
Speaker 1 (38:03):
I think there will be. He's got to I'm telling you,
he's It feels different this time, just because of the
people he has chosen, they're they're clearly outsiders. RFK was
disenfranchised by his own party, which is crazy. Which is
crazy because he's sure they going to.
Speaker 3 (38:23):
Have next election season.
Speaker 1 (38:25):
It's it's gonna be a They're going to have to
really think and sit back and think about their party.
Speaker 3 (38:32):
Yeah, I can't imagine like who they would put up next,
Like there's not in my head a viable candidate. And
everyone that tried this last time before, you know, by
dropped out and Kamala happened, Like, yeah, they rejected.
Speaker 2 (38:48):
It's like RFK, I think could actually do some damage.
Speaker 1 (38:52):
RFK probably what he would have been a lot of
a tougher fight for Trump than Kamala was. Yeah, under
the current administration was not favorable to most of America,
clearly because the popular vote went to Trump, right, and
that is rare for the popular vote to go towards
(39:13):
a Republican rare, but it happened, and that shows a
rejection of Democrat policies. And I'm curious to see what
they do next time. Will they learn? Oh, now they should,
but we'll see.
Speaker 3 (39:31):
I'm just sick of feeling like it's Game of Thrones
out there. In the political world.
Speaker 2 (39:35):
It's crazy Game of Thrones.
Speaker 3 (39:37):
Speaking of Netflix, I don't know it's network. Segues are all, yeah,
they are.
Speaker 1 (39:47):
I'm confused.
Speaker 2 (39:48):
Did you see that Jake Paul Entyson fight?
Speaker 1 (39:52):
Did you I did see that Jake Paul Entyson scriptedness?
Speaker 2 (39:59):
I mean, do you think it was scripted? Let's start there.
Speaker 1 (40:03):
Do I think it was? Yes, one thousand percent.
Speaker 2 (40:06):
I agree.
Speaker 3 (40:06):
I think that Mike Tyson took a twenty million dollar dive,
and I don't blame him.
Speaker 1 (40:12):
I don't either. If at all, if you're gonna say, hey, Russ,
you have to go stand in a ring with this
dude lasts as long as you can, We'll give you
twenty million dollars at the end, no matter what happens.
I'most stand in there.
Speaker 2 (40:23):
Uh huh.
Speaker 1 (40:24):
But the reason why I think it was scripted, go
look up the training videos of Mike Tyson. They posted,
you know, promo shots of him and him training. The
dude looked phenomenal.
Speaker 2 (40:36):
Yes, for a fifty.
Speaker 1 (40:37):
Eight year old man. Yeah, for a fifty eight year
old man. He looked. I was like, this dude's going
to kill him. And then you see the way he
was moving in practice, and then all of a sudden
in the fight. You see, his typical thing was like
to get small and then explode on you. He would
do that, and then he would rear up to do
(40:58):
like an uppercut or a or a right or left hook,
and then he would pull it yep, and then he
would immediately immediately bite his glove yep. I was like,
this dude is so angry right now. He wants to
kill him, but he knows he won't get paid.
Speaker 3 (41:12):
I think it was just his reminder to himself, like,
don't do it.
Speaker 1 (41:17):
Need twenty million dollars, don't hit him.
Speaker 2 (41:19):
I mean, I don't know. I feel like I would
have taken the dive too. Do you think it hurts
his legacy?
Speaker 1 (41:26):
I don't. Would you care?
Speaker 2 (41:31):
What should Mike Tyson care?
Speaker 1 (41:33):
Or I'm saying if you or Mike Tyson, would you care?
Speaker 3 (41:37):
Well, it sounds like he needs the money.
Speaker 1 (41:39):
He does he's so more.
Speaker 3 (41:40):
No, he shouldn't care or probably doesn't care. But at
the same time, it's like, does that hurt his legacy?
And I honestly don't think it does because everybody knows
it was a dive.
Speaker 1 (41:50):
Well, it's not just that, it's like fifty eight year
old man just got paid twenty million dollars for noth
you know, for eight rounds. For eight rounds. I mean, yeah,
he got punched a bunch of times, his phase hurt.
But and exactly it was it was a I didn't
like it. I thought it was stupid, and then Netflix
(42:11):
servers were dumb as hell.
Speaker 2 (42:12):
Yeah, streaming quality.
Speaker 1 (42:13):
I can't. God, if they do that during during the
Christmas break and where when football is on during Christmas Day,
when everybody's at home and they're sitting around the TV
after opening presents and stuff, there's going to be riots.
Speaker 2 (42:28):
Well.
Speaker 3 (42:28):
See, I think they should have done it like the reverse, right,
because everybody in the world wanted to watch that fight,
Yeah for sure, whereas I feel like football becomes more
regional and not everybody in the world is gonna watch it,
So it would have been more of like a soft
launch for what they could handle exactly, because now you
(42:48):
need to buy more servers in Ashburne, Virginia, which is
where all the servers are in the world.
Speaker 1 (42:52):
Yeah. Well, and not just that, it's like your production
of the fight was complete worse, God.
Speaker 2 (43:01):
The production was awful.
Speaker 1 (43:06):
It was comically that where are we We're supposed to
be focusing on her, so I can talk about her
entrance into the stadium.
Speaker 2 (43:13):
It's like, it was, how horrible?
Speaker 3 (43:16):
And then even the commentators the way they would talk
to each other, the one main guy who was, you know,
introducing all the fighters, and then I forget what the
lady's name is, the actress lady, and the other guy
that was with her, So it's those three, but the
loudmouth white guy, he just kept getting closer and closer.
Speaker 1 (43:34):
She's like, she did not like that dude. And I'm like,
you know, he's spitting all over She's like, and you
know that is just spraying.
Speaker 3 (43:47):
So I mean, like, overall production was horrible. So I
hope the NFL takes over production.
Speaker 1 (43:55):
Well that I do think because the NFL has those
you know, TV and all that stuff in the bag already,
they know how to do it. It'll be fine. And
that aspect My concern is performance of the servers, right,
buffering buffering.
Speaker 3 (44:11):
Well, did you hear that people are actually class action lawsuit?
Speaker 2 (44:15):
Yeah, against Netflix for over fifty million.
Speaker 1 (44:17):
I don't understand what they're all getting a dollar? What
do they expect is gonna happen?
Speaker 2 (44:22):
How many people do you think subscribe to Netflix?
Speaker 1 (44:25):
All of them?
Speaker 3 (44:26):
Like, but seriously, like, say it's a billion people.
Speaker 2 (44:29):
What is fifty million going to do for.
Speaker 1 (44:32):
Five hundred million people? Okay, it's yeah, you don't get nothing.
You're to me, you're suing them for no reason because
you can. First off, you can watch it later. And
I don't think they're promising you anything like performance wise,
like Okay, it crapped out, watch it tomorrow.
Speaker 2 (44:52):
Yep, well watch it tomorrow. Let them keep that fifty
million and buy more servers.
Speaker 1 (44:57):
I don't I don't understand people. I mean, maybe they
give everybody an hour extra of Netflix Premium.
Speaker 2 (45:06):
Yeah, I mean like an hour? What's an hour?
Speaker 1 (45:09):
Though?
Speaker 2 (45:09):
Like the show?
Speaker 1 (45:11):
Like yeah, they extend your your monthly bill by one day.
There you go and then there you go, you got
a free day.
Speaker 2 (45:19):
It's crazy.
Speaker 3 (45:20):
But the idea that that arena, that stadium was sold out,
I don't know, Like I I can see that this
is just gonna.
Speaker 2 (45:26):
Keep going for Jake Paul.
Speaker 1 (45:28):
Why wouldn't it.
Speaker 2 (45:29):
He's the money train right now.
Speaker 1 (45:31):
People are hating on the dude, but you have without
his brother, you have to admit that he's making a
lot of money doing this crap, even if it's a scripted,
fake garbage, He's making a lot of money.
Speaker 2 (45:48):
He is the money man, that's for sure.
Speaker 1 (45:51):
I mean, I don't think they've released actual numbers of
what he made, but I heard it.
Speaker 3 (45:56):
Was a lot, I'm sure. But he more than Tyson
has to pay everybody. So you're saying what he actually took.
Speaker 1 (46:02):
Home though, yeah, way more than Mike Tyson. A lot.
But I did well, I watched highlights, but the girl
fight prior to Mike Tyson, that was that was the
one to watch.
Speaker 2 (46:13):
Really yeah, well it yeah, but.
Speaker 1 (46:17):
I did watch highlights and that was a bloodbath. I
do think the fighter that didn't win should have won,
just like the first fight. I think the Irish girl
that won, she shouldn't have won. I think the other
one did a lot better.
Speaker 2 (46:32):
But I don't know, didn't see it.
Speaker 1 (46:35):
They have to. They gotta make a story. They got
to make you come back for round three.
Speaker 3 (46:39):
Me Meanwhile, you've got Jones out there, John Jones.
Speaker 1 (46:46):
Yeah, you're kicking people's asses left and right.
Speaker 2 (46:49):
Uh huh.
Speaker 3 (46:50):
And he's already talking about his next fight, So.
Speaker 1 (46:53):
Jake Paul should go fight him.
Speaker 2 (46:55):
Ooh two heavyweights.
Speaker 1 (46:57):
Yeah, go fight him. Stop being a bitch and fight
somebody who can actually fight.
Speaker 2 (47:01):
Uh huh, who won't take a dive?
Speaker 1 (47:02):
Right? Well, I'm not I'm not saying Mike Tyson can't fight,
because he clearly can fight.
Speaker 3 (47:08):
Yes, but who won't take a dive? Yeah, he doesn't
need your money, Jake Paul, Well.
Speaker 1 (47:13):
I think I think he should fight uh McGregor. McGregor's
billionaire now or something like that, so he won't need
your money.
Speaker 2 (47:22):
Although I don't know, like I still feel like McGregor
he's a shit.
Speaker 1 (47:26):
Did you hear about all that stuff that just happened
to him? No, he got he had to pay up
some amount of money for I can't remember assault something
or other. God not surprised man, poor man.
Speaker 3 (47:42):
Meaning just like he can't stay out of trouble, It
just follows him, I swear to my goodness.
Speaker 1 (47:48):
Well, you know, maybe it'll straighten his ass up, hopefully,
because sometimes people need a kick in the ass, wake
up call, wake up call, and maybe he needs that
because I think he's got a lot going for him.
He sold that liquor brand or whatever, and I can't
(48:09):
remember he's got a record label. I think he signed exhibit. Yeah,
he brought him back next to the Z exhibit West
Coast Customs.
Speaker 2 (48:18):
I missed that. I missed that so much.
Speaker 1 (48:21):
Yeah, me too. He signed him and stuff. But it's like, dude,
just fucking relax. Yeah. I think he did a statement
like I made mistakes because he cheated on his wife.
He said, I've made mistakes. I cheated on the girl
I love the most or whatever, and it's like, dude,
what are you doing?
Speaker 3 (48:40):
Let me talk about it all the time. Though, when
people get rich, they get bored.
Speaker 1 (48:42):
They gotta go you don't, you can't. You can buy
anything you want, but then you start going towards that
taboo shit. Yep, that's unattainable by money. But it's like
morality type shit, right, it's creepy yep, so moral a story.
Speaker 3 (49:02):
Don't get rich, don't get rich, or or you could
take a dive like Tyson.
Speaker 1 (49:07):
I would probably do that though, for real. All right,
Jake Paul, I'm calling you out, come fight me. I'll
do it for ten million. I'm cold love you.
