Speaker 1 (00:04):
This is the Unfiltered Union. I'm Russ.
Speaker 2 (00:08):
Here is this week's episode. Hi, I think we need
a side hustle.
Speaker 1 (00:16):
What does that mean?
Speaker 2 (00:17):
A side hustle?
Speaker 1 (00:17):
What do you think this podcast is supposed to be?
It's a failing side hustle. But it's a side hustle.
Easy now, I'm just saying we have seven downloads.
Speaker 2 (00:27):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (00:28):
So I've been doing this for six years now, okay. So,
and it's not good.
Speaker 3 (00:34):
On Facebook, someone is selling snowballs that they accumulated during
the snowstorm up in northern.
Speaker 2 (00:41):
Florida and they're selling them for.
Speaker 3 (00:44):
Two hundred and fifty dollars apiece a piece a baggie.
Speaker 1 (00:48):
Why would you it's rain, bro.
Speaker 2 (00:53):
But it's Florida snow.
Speaker 1 (00:54):
Okay. So what I'll do is I'm next. Next time
it rains in Florida, which is right now, I'm gonna
go outside with a sandwich bag, fill it up with rain,
and put it in a freezer. Florida snow, Florida snow ice,
Florida ice. It's the same thing. It's a solid Okay, science, bitch,
(01:18):
this is not going well. Why it's fine, It's fine,
You're fine, it's fine. This is staying in too. Yeah
it is. So. This episode today is sponsored by the
Night Signals podcast. That's another side hustle.
Speaker 2 (01:41):
Though, okay, that's our side hustle.
Speaker 1 (01:44):
It's one of them, this one and that one.
Speaker 2 (01:46):
That's yours side hustle.
Speaker 1 (01:49):
What's mine is yours? What's yours is mine?
Speaker 2 (01:51):
Document it Clockett put it down right there.
Speaker 1 (01:54):
Hey, I'm good with that. That rule. You make more
money than me. That's on the record. You make more
money than me. You're the sugar MoMA. Now, so I'm
the captain. If you decide to leave, guess what leave
what me?
Speaker 3 (02:13):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (02:13):
I get half? It hurts you more than it hurts me.
I'm just saying. I'm just saying I got you. You
would be the one getting the short end of the stick.
First off. First off, you'd be without this my trophy husband, Yeah,
(02:35):
my trophy husband.
Speaker 2 (02:37):
And you don't have a trophy husband. I have a
trophy husband.
Speaker 1 (02:41):
I am not gay. But yeah, good, you just have
to give me.
Speaker 2 (02:48):
Half, okay, ready, so just.
Speaker 1 (02:49):
Don't leave, all right, I'm ready. Tax season woo.
Speaker 2 (02:55):
I can't with you.
Speaker 1 (02:56):
Good lord, speaking of tax season, I'm not going to
get a word. And Ron DeSantis just said he is
on board with eliminating the state income tax or state
property tax in Florida. There is no state income tax
in Florida. The state property tax he's talking about getting
rid of cool. That's a big deal. He doesn't want
(03:19):
people to have to pay taxes on something they've already
paid taxes on when they purchased the item. As in
your house, you pay a bunch of taxes when you
buy it, and then you have to pay the government
in perpetuity for rights to live in your own freaking property.
That is a scam, my friends.
Speaker 2 (03:39):
Does that mean assessments or any thing? Is that separate?
Speaker 1 (03:42):
Well, So the negative to this is it doesn't affect
local taxes, so your county taxes, so for example, state
versus we're in Tampa, so we're in Hillsboro, Hillsborough taxes
obviously the state has no control over those. But state
taxes will hopefully be eliminated. He said he's going to
(04:06):
support any bill that is like the top level of
getting rid of state property taxes. So the problem with
it is in Florida, it has to be a sixty
percent vote to eliminate or to do a constitutional amendment
in Florida. So that that's that's where we're at. But
(04:27):
he's going to support it. And who the hell wouldn't
vote for less taxes. If you do vote for keeping
more taxes, you're dumb, dumb, dumb dumb. I want them
to stop taxing me for fucking social security that i'll never.
Speaker 2 (04:42):
Get going to pay for other people's social security. Yeah,
but taxes are coming up. Boooooo boo.
Speaker 3 (04:51):
So I don't know if you've seen this, but it's
been going around on TikTok where an actual Supreme Court
opinion in Flora versus the United States.
Speaker 2 (04:59):
Flora is often quoted that.
Speaker 3 (05:03):
The proposition of the opinion anyways, our system of taxation
is based upon voluntary assessment and payment, not upon distraint.
Speaker 1 (05:14):
Oh wait a minute, so you're talking right, well, what's
voluntary about me getting half my check taken out every
two weeks?
Speaker 2 (05:21):
Uh huh.
Speaker 3 (05:22):
They're saying that you can. They're not forcing you to
pay the taxes. You're supposed to go out and do
your tax return on your own. They don't just forcibly
take all that out.
Speaker 1 (05:31):
But that's not true because if I decide to not,
if it's voluntary, and I say now I'm not going
to do it this year. They will put me in
jail or garnish my wages. I don't understand, like how
that's voluntary. Garnishment of my wages is stealing from me.
Speaker 3 (05:50):
There are many cases, I guess, of the United States
versus you know, individuals.
Speaker 1 (05:57):
Let's fix that. I liked it forty five degrees. Honey,
she she, We've been doing this for six years and
you still don't have Mike etiquette.
Speaker 3 (06:08):
Anyways, So the United States versus all these people, and
all these people said that, well, back in the decision
of the Flora Flora first of the United States, we
said that it was voluntary, then I shouldn't have to
pay taxes.
Speaker 2 (06:22):
Every single person's lost tax filing at the.
Speaker 3 (06:26):
End of the year is voluntary, meaning that you have
to go out and prepare your own taxes. But the
actual act of paying taxes is not voluntary. But this
statement keeps popping up.
Speaker 1 (06:36):
Oh, hang on, hold on. So so you're saying that
I don't have to file taxes.
Speaker 2 (06:43):
You do if you don't want to go to jail.
Speaker 1 (06:44):
No, no, no, no, no, I don't have to file taxes.
They just said that that's voluntary.
Speaker 3 (06:51):
Although Treasury regulations established voluntary compliance as the general method
of income tax collection, Congress gave the State of the
Treasury the power are to enforce the income tax laws
through involuntary collection.
Speaker 2 (07:04):
It don't make no sense.
Speaker 1 (07:05):
So what I don't know? Because if I okay, why
should I go out and use turbo tax?
Speaker 3 (07:14):
Then because you are voluntarily I don't want to volunteer
in your taxes, then I don't want to.
Speaker 2 (07:20):
So they don't involuntary come take you to jail.
Speaker 1 (07:24):
How about they prepare my taxes for me? Since they
got to make this complicated.
Speaker 3 (07:30):
Why can't they just involuntarily because all of this leads
to jail.
Speaker 2 (07:35):
If you don't do.
Speaker 1 (07:36):
It, destroy the irs, takee the taxes and flat tax
me every month, yep, because it equals out if you
flat tax everybody, I don't know fifteen percent, we'll just
pretend fifteen percent. That means rich people will pay more
because fifteen percent of a million dollars is obviously more
than fifteen percent of ten thousand dollars or one hundred
thousand dollars. So flat tax me, and that way rich
(08:00):
people can't pay their way through lawyers and red tape
and loopholes and write offs. Yeah, loopholes that are purposefully
in there that they use because they can afford to.
They can't do that with a flat tax. It's like, oh,
your company may fit one hundred million dollars this year,
Well you owe us fifteen percent.
Speaker 3 (08:20):
Originally, the government was meant for national security. Yeah right,
we'll get there in a second. So take what you
need in order to get the national government done. But
from there, why do I have to be involved? I
don't know what all of these back and forth taxation
things mean. I have a cousin who's very smart and
all of it. I will give her her props, but
(08:42):
I cannot, for the life of me, figure out a
tax form like.
Speaker 1 (08:45):
No, no, it's almost purposeful because there's a whole industry
created around doing something that's required by law. It doesn't
make sense to me.
Speaker 2 (08:57):
But it's voluntary.
Speaker 1 (08:58):
No, it isn't. Ask Wesley Snipes.
Speaker 2 (09:01):
Uh huh. So I can't wait to see what Dodge does.
Speaker 1 (09:04):
Yeah I did. I did read and heard that they
are entering the IRS building this week, and I do
hope they go in there and crack some skulls. It
needs to happen the Irs. Why do they need I
can't remember to two hundred thousand agent irs, agents with
firearms and ammo they bought that stuff. Good grief, it's insanity.
(09:29):
Like it's like, oh, it's voluntary, then why you need guns?
Speaker 2 (09:32):
Bro right?
Speaker 3 (09:33):
Uh? Dodge actually has a tracker. I don't know if
you've seen this, but you can actually download an app
even but it's dodgedashtracker dot com and literally it shows
everything that they're working on as far as you know, collecting.
Their recommendations are for elimination because they don't have the
authority to eliminate, but they're giving recommendations on what to
eliminate and how much the savings has accumulated to. I
(09:55):
got a question, so do we get a bigger refund?
Are we saying that's a sunk cost and maybe lower
taxes later?
Speaker 1 (10:04):
No, because we're still operating at a deficit.
Speaker 2 (10:09):
Yeah, but are okay that's a billion not a trillion?
Speaker 1 (10:12):
Okay, yeah, yeah, we're not even close to touching that.
But I did see one of the line items that
they cut. It was millions of dollars for Mozambique circumcisions.
Why are we paying for this?
Speaker 2 (10:29):
Improving learning outcomes?
Speaker 1 (10:30):
In Asia, and I don't understand.
Speaker 2 (10:34):
Motor confidence in Liberia.
Speaker 1 (10:35):
Like, yes, that was one of them.
Speaker 2 (10:37):
That's crazy.
Speaker 1 (10:38):
Circumcision things like what are you doing? I don't what
the why are we over in other countries promoting circumcisions.
Speaker 2 (10:47):
It's insane.
Speaker 1 (10:48):
It's like I got scissors. I did mine for free.
Speaker 2 (10:54):
They call it a brisk I think in the Jewish.
Speaker 1 (10:58):
Oh yeah, don't they have a whole ceremony?
Speaker 2 (11:01):
Yeah, so did you did you have?
Speaker 1 (11:03):
Yeah? But I did it myself. I didn't have a party. Ok,
just kidding. I'm joking all jokes. I have a child,
so it works.
Speaker 2 (11:12):
Oh I know where you are going.
Speaker 1 (11:17):
I didn't, Butcher they there you go. Okay, so you.
Speaker 2 (11:23):
So with all of this in mind, you know a
lot of.
Speaker 3 (11:26):
People seem to have concerns over what Dodge is doing,
and I don't. I mean, I I can understand, like,
what does it take to run a government? None of
us one hundred percent understand what that is, what it
takes to run a government.
Speaker 2 (11:39):
So all of these are recommendations. They're not just cutting
things out.
Speaker 3 (11:43):
It's up to the executive I believe it's the executive
branch that would then make the decision on what to
do with any of these. So I feel like, let's
just watch, like the idea that all of this money
is going to waste and there's a potential that we
could be less impacted in paying more taxes.
Speaker 2 (12:03):
I mean, I feel like it's a win, right.
Speaker 1 (12:05):
Well, they're taking away things that we are paying for
for other countries. It's not necessarily people here that are
going to be affected by it. Not only that, a
lot of what Dodge is uncovered is literal theft they're paying. Politico,
I can't remember a ridiculous amount of money of your taxes.
(12:28):
That's a freaking journalistic organization. How are you paying for
them with my money?
Speaker 2 (12:36):
When you say things like the Department of Education is
being cut, like, people freak out right.
Speaker 1 (12:42):
Okay, yeah, but they are.
Speaker 2 (12:43):
What part of their funding are we cutting in the
Department of Education?
Speaker 1 (12:48):
So I think there's we need to dismantle that whole
word too.
Speaker 3 (12:51):
I think there's a lot going on that needs to
be piece by piece and just watch, right, let's just
watch the recommendations that come out and see what happens.
Speaker 1 (12:59):
I saw it the other day about it. We got
Dodge over there cutting the Department of Education when eighth
graders can't read, twelfth graders can't write, blah blah blah
blah blah. They were like, hey, exactly, exactly exactly, they go.
I mean, they're they're they're in charge right now, and
all these kids can't do normal school taught things. So
(13:21):
what are they doing besides soaking up all these funds
for what?
Speaker 2 (13:25):
Right?
Speaker 1 (13:26):
I don't know. I think we need to go more
back towards state run programs in schools, and honestly we
should go back toward more towards school choice type type
deals too. That it's a monopolistic thing the Department of
Education is that they have a monopoly on what they
(13:50):
consider education. That was pretty cute, so cute.
Speaker 3 (13:57):
Well, I think with all this of Gwen Almond and
that we're making all these fun cuts to international type
fundings right where, it sounds like other countries are getting
pissed off. One of them currently, probably more because we're
saying that they should become a fifty first date.
Speaker 1 (14:14):
But is Canada, Oh thank thank you. Are we talking
about hockey?
Speaker 2 (14:18):
We are note the shirt, we are talking about hockey.
Speaker 1 (14:21):
Oh I love it though. That was so awesome them
them dumbasses up in the north. Yeah, I'm calling y'all
dumb asses because you pissed me off. Now I don't
even want you over here. Hold on.
Speaker 3 (14:33):
So there's a tournament going on called Four Nations face Off,
and it's the US Canada. I think it's Sweden, and
there's one more. I can't remember the other one Russia
maybe maybe maybe, I don't know. But anyways, US and
Canada fased off recently last night, I believe.
Speaker 2 (14:51):
Yes, but based on when this airs.
Speaker 1 (14:53):
When's this hair recently?
Speaker 3 (14:56):
So during the national anthem of Canada, every was respectful, peaceful, quiet,
US anthem comes on the Canadians, boo, the national anthem
of the United States.
Speaker 1 (15:08):
Not a good look, bros.
Speaker 2 (15:10):
Nope, nope, nop, noop.
Speaker 1 (15:12):
Soon your boo's over there.
Speaker 3 (15:15):
So as soon as the hype, as soon as the
puckage dropped, gloves are dropped by all the US players
on the ice, including the Canadians.
Speaker 1 (15:27):
Now, you said the US lost two fights. Yes, I
did not see that. I watched them. None, no, no.
Speaker 3 (15:36):
If you watch the fights, Canada won two of the fights,
the fights, I don't believe that, and the US one
won and.
Speaker 2 (15:43):
They were good fights. I mean like it was pretty close.
Speaker 1 (15:46):
I didn't see the ones where the US lost. Okay,
well you're bullshitting me right now. But overall, but listen,
our bird is an eagle, their bird is a goose.
Speaker 3 (15:59):
Overall, the game was won by the United States three
to one.
Speaker 1 (16:04):
Yeah, we beat you all asses in your own sport.
I shut up and stay up there, stupid.
Speaker 2 (16:10):
I can't get a word in ed Joyce.
Speaker 1 (16:11):
Okay.
Speaker 3 (16:12):
So one of the things that they kept saying the
night before the match was that anytime Sydney Crosby has
been on the line for Canada, they have not lost.
They were at twenty six to zero against any international
last night.
Speaker 2 (16:27):
He played last night and they lost.
Speaker 1 (16:30):
Good. I don't like him either.
Speaker 2 (16:33):
I'm not a fan.
Speaker 1 (16:34):
He cries a lot. Yep, he's kind of like I
remember when what was that disease they all had in
the lockero mumps or whatever. I don't know. Damn, that
dude looked like a chipmunk with his cheeks.
Speaker 2 (16:44):
All big and was back in eight or something.
Speaker 1 (16:47):
So weird. She looked like he had a bunch of
nuts in his mouth, which I'm sure he's used to.
Speaker 2 (16:55):
I can't okay, so he I think is even though.
Speaker 1 (16:59):
I do not like him, he's a good player.
Speaker 2 (17:01):
He is a good player.
Speaker 1 (17:02):
He's highly skilled. Is he as good as Ovi? Fuck? No, nope.
Speaker 2 (17:06):
Speaking of ove check the shirt. Check the shirt. We
are sixteen sixteen goals away sixteen.
Speaker 1 (17:14):
He's gonna that's going to be an insane feat that
he beats Wayne gretz Ski and his record. Yeah, that's
that is huge. So Wayne Mocky as hard as hell
to score in now versus back when Wayne Gretzky was playing.
Those pads are shoot, yeah, the goalie, it's like, you
have three inches of space to score in now?
Speaker 2 (17:36):
But oh god, what did you do?
Speaker 1 (17:39):
Oh my gosh, my Tonio ripped off somehow? Oh no, on.
Speaker 3 (17:47):
Air, I can hunt. Okay, Pain, don't grab your hooper, Wayne.
Wayne Gretzky holds the record currently for the most amount
of career goals at eight hundred and ninety work Ovechkin
is sixteen away. Her are the analysts of sports this
year in March, So we're not even gonna get into
(18:10):
postseason before he hits this.
Speaker 2 (18:12):
I'm so excited.
Speaker 1 (18:14):
I do hope he pads it, though, I.
Speaker 2 (18:16):
Mean, well, he's got the rest of the season.
Speaker 1 (18:18):
If he hits it all, and I do hope he
keeps playing. He's getting up there in age though. To
be honest with you, but I think he's got gas
in the tank. The dude's got skills.
Speaker 2 (18:27):
He's got some babies though, too.
Speaker 1 (18:29):
Yeah, but I mean he's a tough fellow. He broke
his leg this year, I think didn't he I don't call.
I feel like he did. But he's back. Yeah either way,
sixteen to go. Dude's gonna break it. We I'll be
honest with you. We haven't watched a lot of hockey
since moving to Florida because it's hot here. It doesn't
make sense, it is.
Speaker 2 (18:51):
No, we don't want to pay for TV like a TV.
Speaker 1 (18:55):
Yeah, we cord cut and we see and we cord cut.
And not only did we cord cut, we really only
have Netflix, right.
Speaker 2 (19:05):
We have very minimal Amazon Prime, like very minimal.
Speaker 1 (19:08):
Yeah, we have the what comes with Amazon ship, you know,
because we have to have Prime. You got to have
that two days.
Speaker 3 (19:14):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (19:14):
Well it's even faster here because we're uh, Tampa has
distribution centers everywhere. But yeah, I do hope he gets it,
and I want to be sure we watch that that
game because they're going to celebrate like crazy for him, which.
Speaker 3 (19:28):
They it's going to be the North Carolina game. I
think they said March tenth is what they're guessing. Obviously
they can't know.
Speaker 1 (19:34):
Well, he's got to score a lot sixteen sixteen.
Speaker 3 (19:38):
We're almost there, so excited, So switching switch and wait,
hold on, who do you think is better of Veshkin
or Crossby? All Right?
Speaker 1 (19:46):
I just said that easily. Crosby will never ever get
as many goals to get close to Gretzki's record.
Speaker 2 (19:58):
Yep, just for the record and for my dad's sake.
Speaker 1 (20:02):
Oh, he's gonna be mad about this. Where So super
Bowl just won't boy?
Speaker 2 (20:09):
Super Bowl just happened recently?
Speaker 1 (20:11):
Yes, thank god they lost too.
Speaker 3 (20:13):
Yes, so we all know that the Jeeves well, I
couldn't think of what the team was called for a second.
Speaker 1 (20:20):
That dude Mahomes has the most.
Speaker 2 (20:22):
Annoying You think he reminded me of Seth Rogan a lot.
Speaker 1 (20:27):
Yeah, a little bit. He's got that weird laughing. It
makes no sense. Where's it coming from? We get a.
Speaker 3 (20:32):
Break for a little while from football from Taylor Swift frown.
Speaker 1 (20:37):
I was happy to see that that that h Taylor
Swift kind of get booed too. Did you see that video?
She looked like that meme of that muppet looking character
where he's looking at the camera and looking away. She
looked just like that, and then you could see her
mouth what is happening because she was getting booed. It's like,
(20:59):
are you out of touch?
Speaker 2 (21:00):
Everybody says she looked like Sharpay from high school musical
and just standing.
Speaker 1 (21:04):
There all jacked up. Yeah. Well, and then they all
everybody cheered for Trump like it was a huge cheer. Yeah. Yeah,
just happened at dytone of five hundred was today and
Trump did his rounds there in that place, erupted and
Air Force one did a flyover, Thunderbirds did a fly over.
(21:26):
The Beast went around the track a couple times. You
know how much gas they probably use going around that track?
And that thing, the freaking presidential limousine, is called the Beast,
and it weighs twenty two thousand pounds.
Speaker 2 (21:39):
Insane.
Speaker 1 (21:40):
It's a Cadillac that weighs twenty two thousand pounds. It
weighs so a NASCAR weighs thirty two hundred pounds. What's
the math on that? Seven times as much. That's insanity
and how fat. They won't it was top secret. They
tried to ask how fast it can actually go. They
(22:00):
were like, we're not telling you. That thing probably flies
and ship fly.
Speaker 3 (22:05):
Yeah, jumps all the things.
Speaker 1 (22:10):
It's got boosters in it. It probably floats and ship.
Speaker 2 (22:13):
Back to the topic of the Super Bowl. So Taylor Swift,
you know how her and Kelsey right are things.
Speaker 1 (22:21):
She probably beat him when he got home. I'm joking.
I'm joking all jokes, I know.
Speaker 3 (22:27):
But recently MLB at MLB on ex Twitter or whatever
the heck you want to call it, posted a picture.
Speaker 1 (22:34):
It was MLB major League Baseball. Oh okay, okay, okay.
I was just making sure, No I was you were
You were talking about MLB like it was a human.
Speaker 2 (22:46):
Here's the blonde. It's cute. Okay.
Speaker 3 (22:48):
So the MLB posted a picture of one of their
pictures on the Dodgers. I'm sorry, I don't know his name,
but holding hands with Taylor Swift and said can't wait
for the upcomings.
Speaker 2 (23:00):
Oh my, responded, what it looks so good too.
Speaker 1 (23:10):

Speaker 2 (23:17):
No, these have never and this.
Speaker 3 (23:19):
Picture, this MLB picture is actually married, so it may
have just been his wife.
Speaker 2 (23:23):
And he told hands with and they put Taylor's with
face off.
Speaker 1 (23:25):
Oh my god. That's hilarious. Though that was bad. That
is masterful trolling. That's better than Wendy's, and Wendy's has
some skills when it comes to trolling.
Speaker 2 (23:37):
That was really good. Okay, but back to the question
of which one, which one's better?
Speaker 1 (23:42):
I already told you I don't know how many times
you want me to say that Oveskin is going to storm.
No Baby Crosby.
Speaker 2 (23:49):
One ready, Patrick Mahomes or Tom Brady.
Speaker 1 (23:54):
Tom Brady, Come the fuck on.
Speaker 3 (23:56):
They keep saying that every time tom Brady is in
the vicinity of a Super Bowl that Patrick lose. So
tom Brady was announcing at the Super Bowl Patrick Mahomes lose.
Speaker 2 (24:08):
They're trying to make that correlation tom Brady's.
Speaker 1 (24:12):
It'll take a lot to surpass that, dude, Like what.
Speaker 2 (24:16):
A three pat would the three peat have done?
Speaker 3 (24:18):
It?
Speaker 1 (24:18):
No? No, because I think I think half the team,
half the Kansas City Chiefs are refs.
Speaker 2 (24:27):
So okay, yeah, curious.
Speaker 1 (24:31):
I don't even like what I don't like football period
and some of the I enjoyed watching Patrick Mahomes get
shitted on though.
Speaker 2 (24:42):
Well that's that's good.
Speaker 3 (24:43):
I guess.
Speaker 2 (24:46):
That's yeah.
Speaker 3 (24:48):
So recently, oh my god, that to nail is killing me.
Speaker 2 (24:55):
Okay, I'm gonna get through this.
Speaker 3 (25:00):
Recently we finished off series that we've been watching for
a while now.
Speaker 1 (25:04):
Yeah, it just ended. Cobra Kaigh just ended. Spoilers just in.
Speaker 2 (25:09):
Case because you haven't seen it yet. Again. Netflix is
like one of the only platforms we have.
Speaker 1 (25:15):
But it's over. And I told you this before this,
this final season, and I told you it should have
been done a while ago. They start, they started getting
kind of outlandish and unrealistic. At least at first it
was like.
Speaker 2 (25:32):
Made sense high school bullying, high.
Speaker 1 (25:34):
School bullying, and then you know, Johnny Lawrence was the
old bully, but he essentially let his high school karate
shit catch up to him, like he was labeled a
lose or he labeled himself a loser his whole life
because of losing. And there's about a lot of trauma
for Johnny yep, and that was all believable bringing back
(26:00):
like high school rivalries with with Danny and all that stuff.
Speaker 2 (26:03):
All Valley, like those things are believable.
Speaker 1 (26:05):
Then they started getting silly, like all the kids would
go to the other person's house and they'd be fighting
in the house, like it's like, dude, that's not at
least in Florida, that shit ain't happening. We got standard
ground walls here, like everybody would have been dead.
Speaker 2 (26:20):
Well, I don't even think.
Speaker 3 (26:21):
That was the outlandish part. It really came to me
like outlandish when it was the creaking of bones of
each other and using weapons, and then you go to
I think it was South Korea was a part of it,
and then they had this dojo that was just like
really crazy, like there's just some weird things that started
(26:45):
to happen.
Speaker 1 (26:45):
It was too much. They got too I know they
were I don't know, they got too weird. Yeah, too
fake to me. Yeah, like in the first well was
it the first season or the second season where main
character got.
Speaker 2 (27:03):
Say it we are said spoilers, Okay.
Speaker 1 (27:04):
Well main character broke us back Miguel. Yeah, in the
first season, second second season. Yeah, I think it was
a second season because yeah, I did. But but that
all was fine because it was like like you said,
high school bullying. Yeah, yeah, and the consequences to to
your little rivalry caused real life screw ups.
Speaker 2 (27:28):
Which happens, right, I mean thirteen reasons why, Like that's
that's a real thing.
Speaker 1 (27:31):
But and then all of a sudden, you're you're talking
about these like these adults like John Crease and Silver
from the old movies.
Speaker 2 (27:41):
They were insane in the old movies.
Speaker 1 (27:42):
So it but it was like it was too much.
It was like they were treating the kids like they
were soldiers in a war. It's like, you're not in Vietnam, bro.
But I think that was the.
Speaker 2 (27:52):
Point they had trauma from that they brought it to
the kids.
Speaker 1 (27:54):
Yeah, but it was too much. It was like it
was hot for it was, at least for me. It
was hard to believe that any of these kids because
I remember being a high school kid. I was dumb,
but I wasn't that fucking dumb. I wasn't going to
let I wouldn't let some old motherfucker say, bruh, you're
in a war. Now, everything's war. You must beat everybody's
(28:17):
ass or else you're going to die.
Speaker 2 (28:19):
You wouldn't even listen to the teacher and they told
you to stop doing something.
Speaker 1 (28:22):
So I don't know. It was just weird.
Speaker 2 (28:25):
But I feel like this last half of season six,
the final.
Speaker 1 (28:30):
Portion, they killed it.
Speaker 2 (28:31):
It was not killed it.
Speaker 1 (28:33):
They did it well, I know they killed it. They
did a really good freaking job.
Speaker 3 (28:39):
They closed it up so well, put the bow on it.
It was nice and pretty. It was a very The
only thing that I think could have been a little
better was Robbie's part. I feel like he got a
little shafted. But I mean he ended up with a
deal with Tory, so maybe that's okay.
Speaker 1 (28:55):
But I see what you're saying, because he never won
a championship.
Speaker 3 (28:59):
Right, but he gets to take place of Johnny and
do it right rather than Johnny's loser mentality throughout his life.
Speaker 2 (29:07):
Right, it has to be mini Johnny do over.
Speaker 1 (29:09):
And he uh, he accepted it and that showed growth too, like,
but it was good. I enjoyed it a lot. I actually, uh,
this sounds so silly, but I wrote it in my
journal last night that I think that they ended this
better than Breaking Bad ended.
Speaker 2 (29:28):
Oh yeah, I agree, And.
Speaker 1 (29:30):
They ended this but obviously better than Game of Thrones ended,
And to me that was surprising because it so funny. Yeah, yeah,
I was seriously concerned about how they were going to
finish it off because of how Outland got. Yeah right,
Aliens karate Aliens are coming with swats.
Speaker 2 (29:49):
I had a dream about Aliens. It was very vivid.
Speaker 1 (29:51):
Oh, Mike, Yeah, and you already wrote a book.
Speaker 2 (29:53):
I'm working on it, working on it. God this toe.
So did you hear that they are going to make
How to Train Your Dragons live action?
Speaker 1 (30:06):
Yeah? I don't.
Speaker 2 (30:07):
Why are they going down the Disney route? Nobody asked for.
Speaker 1 (30:10):
That because clearly it's making Disney lots of money.
Speaker 2 (30:14):
Bullshit by that.
Speaker 3 (30:18):
I don't believe that to be true at all, because
all of their live actions have flopped, every single one.
Speaker 1 (30:24):
They flopped to you because they're not good. Did they
flop in the box office?
Speaker 2 (30:29):
I guarantee you they didn't do as good as they.
Speaker 1 (30:31):
Thought they were all I'm sure, But did they make money?
Speaker 2 (30:35):
I need a bit regardless? Nobody asked for this.
Speaker 3 (30:38):
Like the whole reason why I like dream Works and
Illumination is because their originals, right, they don't follow the
the usual tropes, if you will, whereas Disney, I mean,
that's their bread and butter. I get it, but at
some point stop rinking stuff. I agree, So don't go
down this route.
Speaker 1 (30:57):
Originality has been lost, for sure.
Speaker 3 (31:00):
It is drowning in a sea of remake, redo, reboot.
Speaker 2 (31:05):
It is insane.
Speaker 1 (31:08):
But I will say Gerard Butler does seem pretty good
in that.
Speaker 2 (31:14):
Oh he was the dad in the original, wasn't he? Yeah?
So I mean, I okay, I'm sure it'll be fine,
but we don't need it. But who needs it? Who
asked for this? Point to them? Where are they?
Speaker 1 (31:25):
What are you gonna do?
Speaker 2 (31:27):
Smack them? Because this is not needed. Give me something new?
Speaker 1 (31:33):
What you like?
Speaker 2 (31:34):
Sonic has been awesome? Why can't we find more things
like that?
Speaker 1 (31:38):
Yeah? I know that's that's not really an original ip,
but it's original films, right, it's original content.
Speaker 3 (31:45):
It has nothing to do with the video games other
than the characters. But just find more originality, please, love
of God, find it.
Speaker 2 (31:55):
Okay, So we got a couple of things.
Speaker 1 (31:57):
I've tried to diffuse the situation by saying I love you.
Speaker 2 (32:00):
It did, and it calmed me down. I appreciate it.
Speaker 1 (32:02):
I know you're welcome. I'm pretty good at that. I
should be a therapists.
Speaker 2 (32:05):
You should be therapists.
Speaker 1 (32:06):
I should be.
Speaker 3 (32:09):
You should not be an English teacher. So a couple
of things coming up, where Mark Bro coming up.
Speaker 1 (32:16):
You're you're am I supposed to buy beads.
Speaker 3 (32:20):
No, we get enough of those at the events here
in Florida. It does not make sense how they throw
so many beads. They throw them at the Christmas.
Speaker 2 (32:28):
Parade, they throw them at Gasparilla, they throw them at
just random events, all these beads.
Speaker 1 (32:35):
Yeah, I know, y'all went to that Christmas parade and
y'all had to wear hard hats because you're getting pelted.
Speaker 2 (32:40):
Oh my god, they were mean.
Speaker 1 (32:43):
Watch watch that kid fall down and cry.
Speaker 2 (32:46):
But then there's Easter that's coming up too.
Speaker 3 (32:50):
Stop, we've got to decorate all the eggs. And then
Saint Patrick's Day where we can actually I think Saint
Patrick's Day is before.
Speaker 1 (33:00):
But yes, that's when we conceived our child.
Speaker 3 (33:03):
Yes, no, it was after Saint Patrick's, but it was
because of a Saint Patrick's Day event.
Speaker 1 (33:08):
You're drinking.
Speaker 2 (33:10):
Meanwhile, it's eighty five and sunny in Florida.
Speaker 1 (33:13):
It is, and we have sunburn, and our families are
getting ready to get smacked up with at least, from
what I read, at least six inches of snow on
on next week English, not in my language.
Speaker 2 (33:27):
You're just a winner today.
Speaker 3 (33:29):
Yes, in Virginia near the Virginia yeah, I said in Virginia.
Speaker 1 (33:33):
No, you're wrong.
Speaker 2 (33:35):
Come down, I love you.
Speaker 1 (33:37):
Take that fingernail.
Speaker 3 (33:38):
In Virginia, they're about to get six inches of snow
on top of their already existing snow from a couple
of weeks ago, so they are.
Speaker 2 (33:46):
Just getting it piled on.
Speaker 3 (33:47):
Meanwhile, we have sunburn from being outdoors this weekend.
Speaker 1 (33:51):
Yep, first, well not first, but soccer and stuff is
in full effect and it's fun.
Speaker 3 (33:58):
But there was a map that showed the United States
of all the weather in one day snapshot. In Plant City, Florida,
it was I forget, I think it was ninety five.
In North Dakota it was negative five, one hundred degree
(34:20):
difference between a northern point and a southern point in
the country.
Speaker 2 (34:24):
That's insane.
Speaker 1 (34:26):
Who the fuck lives in North Dakota not US. I
know my buddy's dad does, well, at least he did,
and he said that it's not good.
Speaker 2 (34:35):
No, come to Florida.
Speaker 1 (34:36):
Imagine the house is how they have to be built
to withstand that that heat is different, like a hundred degrees. Yeah,
it could be kind of uncomfortable after a while. But
you can drink water, hydrate, pour water on yourself.
Speaker 2 (34:51):
Get in water.
Speaker 1 (34:52):
But what are you going to do in negative five?
Speaker 2 (34:56):
Just bury yourself in blankets, fleece wool.
Speaker 1 (35:00):
I can't fire unless you run out of wood. Yeah,
I think. I think. My buddy's dad actually has a
geothermal set up there too, And they dug a big
old hole in the ground, and I.
Speaker 2 (35:10):
Had an intrusive thought. I'm glad I didn't say.
Speaker 1 (35:12):
It out loud. M'd have been bad. Is that it?

Speaker 2 (00:08):
Here is this week's episode. Hi, I think we need
a side hustle.
Speaker 1 (00:16):
What does that mean?
Speaker 2 (00:17):
A side hustle?
Speaker 1 (00:17):
What do you think this podcast is supposed to be?
It's a failing side hustle. But it's a side hustle.
Easy now, I'm just saying we have seven downloads.
Speaker 2 (00:27):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (00:28):
So I've been doing this for six years now, okay. So,
and it's not good.
Speaker 3 (00:34):
On Facebook, someone is selling snowballs that they accumulated during
the snowstorm up in northern.
Speaker 2 (00:41):
Florida and they're selling them for.
Speaker 3 (00:44):
Two hundred and fifty dollars apiece a piece a baggie.
Speaker 1 (00:48):
Why would you it's rain, bro.
Speaker 2 (00:53):
But it's Florida snow.
Speaker 1 (00:54):
Okay. So what I'll do is I'm next. Next time
it rains in Florida, which is right now, I'm gonna
go outside with a sandwich bag, fill it up with rain,
and put it in a freezer. Florida snow, Florida snow ice,
Florida ice. It's the same thing. It's a solid Okay, science, bitch,
(01:18):
this is not going well. Why it's fine, It's fine,
You're fine, it's fine. This is staying in too. Yeah
it is. So. This episode today is sponsored by the
Night Signals podcast. That's another side hustle.
Speaker 2 (01:41):
Though, okay, that's our side hustle.
Speaker 1 (01:44):
It's one of them, this one and that one.
Speaker 2 (01:46):
That's yours side hustle.
Speaker 1 (01:49):
What's mine is yours? What's yours is mine?
Speaker 2 (01:51):
Document it Clockett put it down right there.
Speaker 1 (01:54):
Hey, I'm good with that. That rule. You make more
money than me. That's on the record. You make more
money than me. You're the sugar MoMA. Now, so I'm
the captain. If you decide to leave, guess what leave
what me?
Speaker 3 (02:13):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (02:13):
I get half? It hurts you more than it hurts me.
I'm just saying. I'm just saying I got you. You
would be the one getting the short end of the stick.
First off. First off, you'd be without this my trophy husband, Yeah,
(02:35):
my trophy husband.
Speaker 2 (02:37):
And you don't have a trophy husband. I have a
trophy husband.
Speaker 1 (02:41):
I am not gay. But yeah, good, you just have
to give me.
Speaker 2 (02:48):
Half, okay, ready, so just.
Speaker 1 (02:49):
Don't leave, all right, I'm ready. Tax season woo.
Speaker 2 (02:55):
I can't with you.
Speaker 1 (02:56):
Good lord, speaking of tax season, I'm not going to
get a word. And Ron DeSantis just said he is
on board with eliminating the state income tax or state
property tax in Florida. There is no state income tax
in Florida. The state property tax he's talking about getting
rid of cool. That's a big deal. He doesn't want
(03:19):
people to have to pay taxes on something they've already
paid taxes on when they purchased the item. As in
your house, you pay a bunch of taxes when you
buy it, and then you have to pay the government
in perpetuity for rights to live in your own freaking property.
That is a scam, my friends.
Speaker 2 (03:39):
Does that mean assessments or any thing? Is that separate?
Speaker 1 (03:42):
Well, So the negative to this is it doesn't affect
local taxes, so your county taxes, so for example, state
versus we're in Tampa, so we're in Hillsboro, Hillsborough taxes
obviously the state has no control over those. But state
taxes will hopefully be eliminated. He said he's going to
(04:06):
support any bill that is like the top level of
getting rid of state property taxes. So the problem with
it is in Florida, it has to be a sixty
percent vote to eliminate or to do a constitutional amendment
in Florida. So that that's that's where we're at. But
(04:27):
he's going to support it. And who the hell wouldn't
vote for less taxes. If you do vote for keeping
more taxes, you're dumb, dumb, dumb dumb. I want them
to stop taxing me for fucking social security that i'll never.
Speaker 2 (04:42):
Get going to pay for other people's social security. Yeah,
but taxes are coming up. Boooooo boo.
Speaker 3 (04:51):
So I don't know if you've seen this, but it's
been going around on TikTok where an actual Supreme Court
opinion in Flora versus the United States.
Speaker 2 (04:59):
Flora is often quoted that.
Speaker 3 (05:03):
The proposition of the opinion anyways, our system of taxation
is based upon voluntary assessment and payment, not upon distraint.
Speaker 1 (05:14):
Oh wait a minute, so you're talking right, well, what's
voluntary about me getting half my check taken out every
two weeks?
Speaker 2 (05:21):
Uh huh.
Speaker 3 (05:22):
They're saying that you can. They're not forcing you to
pay the taxes. You're supposed to go out and do
your tax return on your own. They don't just forcibly
take all that out.
Speaker 1 (05:31):
But that's not true because if I decide to not,
if it's voluntary, and I say now I'm not going
to do it this year. They will put me in
jail or garnish my wages. I don't understand, like how
that's voluntary. Garnishment of my wages is stealing from me.
Speaker 3 (05:50):
There are many cases, I guess, of the United States
versus you know, individuals.
Speaker 1 (05:57):
Let's fix that. I liked it forty five degrees. Honey,
she she, We've been doing this for six years and
you still don't have Mike etiquette.
Speaker 3 (06:08):
Anyways, So the United States versus all these people, and
all these people said that, well, back in the decision
of the Flora Flora first of the United States, we
said that it was voluntary, then I shouldn't have to
pay taxes.
Speaker 2 (06:22):
Every single person's lost tax filing at the.
Speaker 3 (06:26):
End of the year is voluntary, meaning that you have
to go out and prepare your own taxes. But the
actual act of paying taxes is not voluntary. But this
statement keeps popping up.
Speaker 1 (06:36):
Oh, hang on, hold on. So so you're saying that
I don't have to file taxes.
Speaker 2 (06:43):
You do if you don't want to go to jail.
Speaker 1 (06:44):
No, no, no, no, no, I don't have to file taxes.
They just said that that's voluntary.
Speaker 3 (06:51):
Although Treasury regulations established voluntary compliance as the general method
of income tax collection, Congress gave the State of the
Treasury the power are to enforce the income tax laws
through involuntary collection.
Speaker 2 (07:04):
It don't make no sense.
Speaker 1 (07:05):
So what I don't know? Because if I okay, why
should I go out and use turbo tax?
Speaker 3 (07:14):
Then because you are voluntarily I don't want to volunteer
in your taxes, then I don't want to.
Speaker 2 (07:20):
So they don't involuntary come take you to jail.
Speaker 1 (07:24):
How about they prepare my taxes for me? Since they
got to make this complicated.
Speaker 3 (07:30):
Why can't they just involuntarily because all of this leads
to jail.
Speaker 2 (07:35):
If you don't do.
Speaker 1 (07:36):
It, destroy the irs, takee the taxes and flat tax
me every month, yep, because it equals out if you
flat tax everybody, I don't know fifteen percent, we'll just
pretend fifteen percent. That means rich people will pay more
because fifteen percent of a million dollars is obviously more
than fifteen percent of ten thousand dollars or one hundred
thousand dollars. So flat tax me, and that way rich
(08:00):
people can't pay their way through lawyers and red tape
and loopholes and write offs. Yeah, loopholes that are purposefully
in there that they use because they can afford to.
They can't do that with a flat tax. It's like, oh,
your company may fit one hundred million dollars this year,
Well you owe us fifteen percent.
Speaker 3 (08:20):
Originally, the government was meant for national security. Yeah right,
we'll get there in a second. So take what you
need in order to get the national government done. But
from there, why do I have to be involved? I
don't know what all of these back and forth taxation
things mean. I have a cousin who's very smart and
all of it. I will give her her props, but
(08:42):
I cannot, for the life of me, figure out a
tax form like.
Speaker 1 (08:45):
No, no, it's almost purposeful because there's a whole industry
created around doing something that's required by law. It doesn't
make sense to me.
Speaker 2 (08:57):
But it's voluntary.
Speaker 1 (08:58):
No, it isn't. Ask Wesley Snipes.
Speaker 2 (09:01):
Uh huh. So I can't wait to see what Dodge does.
Speaker 1 (09:04):
Yeah I did. I did read and heard that they
are entering the IRS building this week, and I do
hope they go in there and crack some skulls. It
needs to happen the Irs. Why do they need I
can't remember to two hundred thousand agent irs, agents with
firearms and ammo they bought that stuff. Good grief, it's insanity.
(09:29):
Like it's like, oh, it's voluntary, then why you need guns?
Speaker 2 (09:32):
Bro right?
Speaker 3 (09:33):
Uh? Dodge actually has a tracker. I don't know if
you've seen this, but you can actually download an app
even but it's dodgedashtracker dot com and literally it shows
everything that they're working on as far as you know, collecting.
Their recommendations are for elimination because they don't have the
authority to eliminate, but they're giving recommendations on what to
eliminate and how much the savings has accumulated to. I
(09:55):
got a question, so do we get a bigger refund?
Are we saying that's a sunk cost and maybe lower
taxes later?
Speaker 1 (10:04):
No, because we're still operating at a deficit.
Speaker 2 (10:09):
Yeah, but are okay that's a billion not a trillion?
Speaker 1 (10:12):
Okay, yeah, yeah, we're not even close to touching that.
But I did see one of the line items that
they cut. It was millions of dollars for Mozambique circumcisions.
Why are we paying for this?
Speaker 2 (10:29):
Improving learning outcomes?
Speaker 1 (10:30):
In Asia, and I don't understand.
Speaker 2 (10:34):
Motor confidence in Liberia.
Speaker 1 (10:35):
Like, yes, that was one of them.
Speaker 2 (10:37):
That's crazy.
Speaker 1 (10:38):
Circumcision things like what are you doing? I don't what
the why are we over in other countries promoting circumcisions.
Speaker 2 (10:47):
It's insane.
Speaker 1 (10:48):
It's like I got scissors. I did mine for free.
Speaker 2 (10:54):
They call it a brisk I think in the Jewish.
Speaker 1 (10:58):
Oh yeah, don't they have a whole ceremony?
Speaker 2 (11:01):
Yeah, so did you did you have?
Speaker 1 (11:03):
Yeah? But I did it myself. I didn't have a party. Ok,
just kidding. I'm joking all jokes. I have a child,
so it works.
Speaker 2 (11:12):
Oh I know where you are going.
Speaker 1 (11:17):
I didn't, Butcher they there you go. Okay, so you.
Speaker 2 (11:23):
So with all of this in mind, you know a
lot of.
Speaker 3 (11:26):
People seem to have concerns over what Dodge is doing,
and I don't. I mean, I I can understand, like,
what does it take to run a government? None of
us one hundred percent understand what that is, what it
takes to run a government.
Speaker 2 (11:39):
So all of these are recommendations. They're not just cutting
things out.
Speaker 3 (11:43):
It's up to the executive I believe it's the executive
branch that would then make the decision on what to
do with any of these. So I feel like, let's
just watch, like the idea that all of this money
is going to waste and there's a potential that we
could be less impacted in paying more taxes.
Speaker 2 (12:03):
I mean, I feel like it's a win, right.
Speaker 1 (12:05):
Well, they're taking away things that we are paying for
for other countries. It's not necessarily people here that are
going to be affected by it. Not only that, a
lot of what Dodge is uncovered is literal theft they're paying. Politico,
I can't remember a ridiculous amount of money of your taxes.
(12:28):
That's a freaking journalistic organization. How are you paying for
them with my money?
Speaker 2 (12:36):
When you say things like the Department of Education is
being cut, like, people freak out right.
Speaker 1 (12:42):
Okay, yeah, but they are.
Speaker 2 (12:43):
What part of their funding are we cutting in the
Department of Education?
Speaker 1 (12:48):
So I think there's we need to dismantle that whole
word too.
Speaker 3 (12:51):
I think there's a lot going on that needs to
be piece by piece and just watch, right, let's just
watch the recommendations that come out and see what happens.
Speaker 1 (12:59):
I saw it the other day about it. We got
Dodge over there cutting the Department of Education when eighth
graders can't read, twelfth graders can't write, blah blah blah
blah blah. They were like, hey, exactly, exactly exactly, they go.
I mean, they're they're they're in charge right now, and
all these kids can't do normal school taught things. So
(13:21):
what are they doing besides soaking up all these funds
for what?
Speaker 2 (13:25):
Right?
Speaker 1 (13:26):
I don't know. I think we need to go more
back towards state run programs in schools, and honestly we
should go back toward more towards school choice type type
deals too. That it's a monopolistic thing the Department of
Education is that they have a monopoly on what they
(13:50):
consider education. That was pretty cute, so cute.
Speaker 3 (13:57):
Well, I think with all this of Gwen Almond and
that we're making all these fun cuts to international type
fundings right where, it sounds like other countries are getting
pissed off. One of them currently, probably more because we're
saying that they should become a fifty first date.
Speaker 1 (14:14):
But is Canada, Oh thank thank you. Are we talking
about hockey?
Speaker 2 (14:18):
We are note the shirt, we are talking about hockey.
Speaker 1 (14:21):
Oh I love it though. That was so awesome them
them dumbasses up in the north. Yeah, I'm calling y'all
dumb asses because you pissed me off. Now I don't
even want you over here. Hold on.
Speaker 3 (14:33):
So there's a tournament going on called Four Nations face Off,
and it's the US Canada. I think it's Sweden, and
there's one more. I can't remember the other one Russia
maybe maybe maybe, I don't know. But anyways, US and
Canada fased off recently last night, I believe.
Speaker 2 (14:51):
Yes, but based on when this airs.
Speaker 1 (14:53):
When's this hair recently?
Speaker 3 (14:56):
So during the national anthem of Canada, every was respectful, peaceful, quiet,
US anthem comes on the Canadians, boo, the national anthem
of the United States.
Speaker 1 (15:08):
Not a good look, bros.
Speaker 2 (15:10):
Nope, nope, nop, noop.
Speaker 1 (15:12):
Soon your boo's over there.
Speaker 3 (15:15):
So as soon as the hype, as soon as the
puckage dropped, gloves are dropped by all the US players
on the ice, including the Canadians.
Speaker 1 (15:27):
Now, you said the US lost two fights. Yes, I
did not see that. I watched them. None, no, no.
Speaker 3 (15:36):
If you watch the fights, Canada won two of the fights,
the fights, I don't believe that, and the US one
won and.
Speaker 2 (15:43):
They were good fights. I mean like it was pretty close.
Speaker 1 (15:46):
I didn't see the ones where the US lost. Okay,
well you're bullshitting me right now. But overall, but listen,
our bird is an eagle, their bird is a goose.
Speaker 3 (15:59):
Overall, the game was won by the United States three
to one.
Speaker 1 (16:04):
Yeah, we beat you all asses in your own sport.
I shut up and stay up there, stupid.
Speaker 2 (16:10):
I can't get a word in ed Joyce.
Speaker 1 (16:11):
Okay.
Speaker 3 (16:12):
So one of the things that they kept saying the
night before the match was that anytime Sydney Crosby has
been on the line for Canada, they have not lost.
They were at twenty six to zero against any international
last night.
Speaker 2 (16:27):
He played last night and they lost.
Speaker 1 (16:30):
Good. I don't like him either.
Speaker 2 (16:33):
I'm not a fan.
Speaker 1 (16:34):
He cries a lot. Yep, he's kind of like I
remember when what was that disease they all had in
the lockero mumps or whatever. I don't know. Damn, that
dude looked like a chipmunk with his cheeks.
Speaker 2 (16:44):
All big and was back in eight or something.
Speaker 1 (16:47):
So weird. She looked like he had a bunch of
nuts in his mouth, which I'm sure he's used to.
Speaker 2 (16:55):
I can't okay, so he I think is even though.
Speaker 1 (16:59):
I do not like him, he's a good player.
Speaker 2 (17:01):
He is a good player.
Speaker 1 (17:02):
He's highly skilled. Is he as good as Ovi? Fuck? No, nope.
Speaker 2 (17:06):
Speaking of ove check the shirt. Check the shirt. We
are sixteen sixteen goals away sixteen.
Speaker 1 (17:14):
He's gonna that's going to be an insane feat that
he beats Wayne gretz Ski and his record. Yeah, that's
that is huge. So Wayne Mocky as hard as hell
to score in now versus back when Wayne Gretzky was playing.
Those pads are shoot, yeah, the goalie, it's like, you
have three inches of space to score in now?
Speaker 2 (17:36):
But oh god, what did you do?
Speaker 1 (17:39):
Oh my gosh, my Tonio ripped off somehow? Oh no, on.
Speaker 3 (17:47):
Air, I can hunt. Okay, Pain, don't grab your hooper, Wayne.
Wayne Gretzky holds the record currently for the most amount
of career goals at eight hundred and ninety work Ovechkin
is sixteen away. Her are the analysts of sports this
year in March, So we're not even gonna get into
(18:10):
postseason before he hits this.
Speaker 2 (18:12):
I'm so excited.
Speaker 1 (18:14):
I do hope he pads it, though, I.
Speaker 2 (18:16):
Mean, well, he's got the rest of the season.
Speaker 1 (18:18):
If he hits it all, and I do hope he
keeps playing. He's getting up there in age though. To
be honest with you, but I think he's got gas
in the tank. The dude's got skills.
Speaker 2 (18:27):
He's got some babies though, too.
Speaker 1 (18:29):
Yeah, but I mean he's a tough fellow. He broke
his leg this year, I think didn't he I don't call.
I feel like he did. But he's back. Yeah either way,
sixteen to go. Dude's gonna break it. We I'll be
honest with you. We haven't watched a lot of hockey
since moving to Florida because it's hot here. It doesn't
make sense, it is.
Speaker 2 (18:51):
No, we don't want to pay for TV like a TV.
Speaker 1 (18:55):
Yeah, we cord cut and we see and we cord cut.
And not only did we cord cut, we really only
have Netflix, right.
Speaker 2 (19:05):
We have very minimal Amazon Prime, like very minimal.
Speaker 1 (19:08):
Yeah, we have the what comes with Amazon ship, you know,
because we have to have Prime. You got to have
that two days.
Speaker 3 (19:14):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (19:14):
Well it's even faster here because we're uh, Tampa has
distribution centers everywhere. But yeah, I do hope he gets it,
and I want to be sure we watch that that
game because they're going to celebrate like crazy for him, which.
Speaker 3 (19:28):
They it's going to be the North Carolina game. I
think they said March tenth is what they're guessing. Obviously
they can't know.
Speaker 1 (19:34):
Well, he's got to score a lot sixteen sixteen.
Speaker 3 (19:38):
We're almost there, so excited, So switching switch and wait,
hold on, who do you think is better of Veshkin
or Crossby? All Right?
Speaker 1 (19:46):
I just said that easily. Crosby will never ever get
as many goals to get close to Gretzki's record.
Speaker 2 (19:58):
Yep, just for the record and for my dad's sake.
Speaker 1 (20:02):
Oh, he's gonna be mad about this. Where So super
Bowl just won't boy?
Speaker 2 (20:09):
Super Bowl just happened recently?
Speaker 1 (20:11):
Yes, thank god they lost too.
Speaker 3 (20:13):
Yes, so we all know that the Jeeves well, I
couldn't think of what the team was called for a second.
Speaker 1 (20:20):
That dude Mahomes has the most.
Speaker 2 (20:22):
Annoying You think he reminded me of Seth Rogan a lot.
Speaker 1 (20:27):
Yeah, a little bit. He's got that weird laughing. It
makes no sense. Where's it coming from? We get a.
Speaker 3 (20:32):
Break for a little while from football from Taylor Swift frown.
Speaker 1 (20:37):
I was happy to see that that that h Taylor
Swift kind of get booed too. Did you see that video?
She looked like that meme of that muppet looking character
where he's looking at the camera and looking away. She
looked just like that, and then you could see her
mouth what is happening because she was getting booed. It's like,
(20:59):
are you out of touch?
Speaker 2 (21:00):
Everybody says she looked like Sharpay from high school musical
and just standing.
Speaker 1 (21:04):
There all jacked up. Yeah. Well, and then they all
everybody cheered for Trump like it was a huge cheer. Yeah. Yeah,
just happened at dytone of five hundred was today and
Trump did his rounds there in that place, erupted and
Air Force one did a flyover, Thunderbirds did a fly over.
(21:26):
The Beast went around the track a couple times. You
know how much gas they probably use going around that track?
And that thing, the freaking presidential limousine, is called the Beast,
and it weighs twenty two thousand pounds.
Speaker 2 (21:39):
Insane.
Speaker 1 (21:40):
It's a Cadillac that weighs twenty two thousand pounds. It
weighs so a NASCAR weighs thirty two hundred pounds. What's
the math on that? Seven times as much. That's insanity
and how fat. They won't it was top secret. They
tried to ask how fast it can actually go. They
(22:00):
were like, we're not telling you. That thing probably flies
and ship fly.
Speaker 3 (22:05):
Yeah, jumps all the things.
Speaker 1 (22:10):
It's got boosters in it. It probably floats and ship.
Speaker 2 (22:13):
Back to the topic of the Super Bowl. So Taylor Swift,
you know how her and Kelsey right are things.
Speaker 1 (22:21):
She probably beat him when he got home. I'm joking.
I'm joking all jokes, I know.
Speaker 3 (22:27):
But recently MLB at MLB on ex Twitter or whatever
the heck you want to call it, posted a picture.
Speaker 1 (22:34):
It was MLB major League Baseball. Oh okay, okay, okay.
I was just making sure, No I was you were
You were talking about MLB like it was a human.
Speaker 2 (22:46):
Here's the blonde. It's cute. Okay.
Speaker 3 (22:48):
So the MLB posted a picture of one of their
pictures on the Dodgers. I'm sorry, I don't know his name,
but holding hands with Taylor Swift and said can't wait
for the upcomings.
Speaker 2 (23:00):
Oh my, responded, what it looks so good too.
Speaker 1 (23:10):
AI.
Speaker 2 (23:11):
I don't know it was Ai. They just over later face.
Speaker 1 (23:14):
It could have been like a previous no, no, no,
it wasn't.
Speaker 2 (23:17):
No, these have never and this.
Speaker 3 (23:19):
Picture, this MLB picture is actually married, so it may
have just been his wife.
Speaker 2 (23:23):
And he told hands with and they put Taylor's with
face off.
Speaker 1 (23:25):
Oh my god. That's hilarious. Though that was bad. That
is masterful trolling. That's better than Wendy's, and Wendy's has
some skills when it comes to trolling.
Speaker 2 (23:37):
That was really good. Okay, but back to the question
of which one, which one's better?
Speaker 1 (23:42):
I already told you I don't know how many times
you want me to say that Oveskin is going to storm.
No Baby Crosby.
Speaker 2 (23:49):
One ready, Patrick Mahomes or Tom Brady.
Speaker 1 (23:54):
Tom Brady, Come the fuck on.
Speaker 3 (23:56):
They keep saying that every time tom Brady is in
the vicinity of a Super Bowl that Patrick lose. So
tom Brady was announcing at the Super Bowl Patrick Mahomes lose.
Speaker 2 (24:08):
They're trying to make that correlation tom Brady's.
Speaker 1 (24:12):
It'll take a lot to surpass that, dude, Like what.
Speaker 2 (24:16):
A three pat would the three peat have done?
Speaker 3 (24:18):
It?
Speaker 1 (24:18):
No? No, because I think I think half the team,
half the Kansas City Chiefs are refs.
Speaker 2 (24:27):
So okay, yeah, curious.
Speaker 1 (24:31):
I don't even like what I don't like football period
and some of the I enjoyed watching Patrick Mahomes get
shitted on though.
Speaker 2 (24:42):
Well that's that's good.
Speaker 3 (24:43):
I guess.
Speaker 2 (24:46):
That's yeah.
Speaker 3 (24:48):
So recently, oh my god, that to nail is killing me.
Speaker 2 (24:55):
Okay, I'm gonna get through this.
Speaker 3 (25:00):
Recently we finished off series that we've been watching for
a while now.
Speaker 1 (25:04):
Yeah, it just ended. Cobra Kaigh just ended. Spoilers just in.
Speaker 2 (25:09):
Case because you haven't seen it yet. Again. Netflix is
like one of the only platforms we have.
Speaker 1 (25:15):
But it's over. And I told you this before this,
this final season, and I told you it should have
been done a while ago. They start, they started getting
kind of outlandish and unrealistic. At least at first it
was like.
Speaker 2 (25:32):
Made sense high school bullying, high.
Speaker 1 (25:34):
School bullying, and then you know, Johnny Lawrence was the
old bully, but he essentially let his high school karate
shit catch up to him, like he was labeled a
lose or he labeled himself a loser his whole life
because of losing. And there's about a lot of trauma
for Johnny yep, and that was all believable bringing back
(26:00):
like high school rivalries with with Danny and all that stuff.
Speaker 2 (26:03):
All Valley, like those things are believable.
Speaker 1 (26:05):
Then they started getting silly, like all the kids would
go to the other person's house and they'd be fighting
in the house, like it's like, dude, that's not at
least in Florida, that shit ain't happening. We got standard
ground walls here, like everybody would have been dead.
Speaker 2 (26:20):
Well, I don't even think.
Speaker 3 (26:21):
That was the outlandish part. It really came to me
like outlandish when it was the creaking of bones of
each other and using weapons, and then you go to
I think it was South Korea was a part of it,
and then they had this dojo that was just like
really crazy, like there's just some weird things that started
(26:45):
to happen.
Speaker 1 (26:45):
It was too much. They got too I know they
were I don't know, they got too weird. Yeah, too
fake to me. Yeah, like in the first well was
it the first season or the second season where main
character got.
Speaker 2 (27:03):
Say it we are said spoilers, Okay.
Speaker 1 (27:04):
Well main character broke us back Miguel. Yeah, in the
first season, second second season. Yeah, I think it was
a second season because yeah, I did. But but that
all was fine because it was like like you said,
high school bullying. Yeah, yeah, and the consequences to to
your little rivalry caused real life screw ups.
Speaker 2 (27:28):
Which happens, right, I mean thirteen reasons why, Like that's
that's a real thing.
Speaker 1 (27:31):
But and then all of a sudden, you're you're talking
about these like these adults like John Crease and Silver
from the old movies.
Speaker 2 (27:41):
They were insane in the old movies.
Speaker 1 (27:42):
So it but it was like it was too much.
It was like they were treating the kids like they
were soldiers in a war. It's like, you're not in Vietnam, bro.
But I think that was the.
Speaker 2 (27:52):
Point they had trauma from that they brought it to
the kids.
Speaker 1 (27:54):
Yeah, but it was too much. It was like it
was hot for it was, at least for me. It
was hard to believe that any of these kids because
I remember being a high school kid. I was dumb,
but I wasn't that fucking dumb. I wasn't going to
let I wouldn't let some old motherfucker say, bruh, you're
in a war. Now, everything's war. You must beat everybody's
(28:17):
ass or else you're going to die.
Speaker 2 (28:19):
You wouldn't even listen to the teacher and they told
you to stop doing something.
Speaker 1 (28:22):
So I don't know. It was just weird.
Speaker 2 (28:25):
But I feel like this last half of season six,
the final.
Speaker 1 (28:30):
Portion, they killed it.
Speaker 2 (28:31):
It was not killed it.
Speaker 1 (28:33):
They did it well, I know they killed it. They
did a really good freaking job.
Speaker 3 (28:39):
They closed it up so well, put the bow on it.
It was nice and pretty. It was a very The
only thing that I think could have been a little
better was Robbie's part. I feel like he got a
little shafted. But I mean he ended up with a
deal with Tory, so maybe that's okay.
Speaker 1 (28:55):
But I see what you're saying, because he never won
a championship.
Speaker 3 (28:59):
Right, but he gets to take place of Johnny and
do it right rather than Johnny's loser mentality throughout his life.
Speaker 2 (29:07):
Right, it has to be mini Johnny do over.
Speaker 1 (29:09):
And he uh, he accepted it and that showed growth too, like,
but it was good. I enjoyed it a lot. I actually, uh,
this sounds so silly, but I wrote it in my
journal last night that I think that they ended this
better than Breaking Bad ended.
Speaker 2 (29:28):
Oh yeah, I agree, And.
Speaker 1 (29:30):
They ended this but obviously better than Game of Thrones ended,
And to me that was surprising because it so funny. Yeah, yeah,
I was seriously concerned about how they were going to
finish it off because of how Outland got. Yeah right,
Aliens karate Aliens are coming with swats.
Speaker 2 (29:49):
I had a dream about Aliens. It was very vivid.
Speaker 1 (29:51):
Oh, Mike, Yeah, and you already wrote a book.
Speaker 2 (29:53):
I'm working on it, working on it. God this toe.
So did you hear that they are going to make
How to Train Your Dragons live action?
Speaker 1 (30:06):
Yeah? I don't.
Speaker 2 (30:07):
Why are they going down the Disney route? Nobody asked for.
Speaker 1 (30:10):
That because clearly it's making Disney lots of money.
Speaker 2 (30:14):
Bullshit by that.
Speaker 3 (30:18):
I don't believe that to be true at all, because
all of their live actions have flopped, every single one.
Speaker 1 (30:24):
They flopped to you because they're not good. Did they
flop in the box office?
Speaker 2 (30:29):
I guarantee you they didn't do as good as they.
Speaker 1 (30:31):
Thought they were all I'm sure, But did they make money?
Speaker 2 (30:35):
I need a bit regardless? Nobody asked for this.
Speaker 3 (30:38):
Like the whole reason why I like dream Works and
Illumination is because their originals, right, they don't follow the
the usual tropes, if you will, whereas Disney, I mean,
that's their bread and butter. I get it, but at
some point stop rinking stuff. I agree, So don't go
down this route.
Speaker 1 (30:57):
Originality has been lost, for sure.
Speaker 3 (31:00):
It is drowning in a sea of remake, redo, reboot.
Speaker 2 (31:05):
It is insane.
Speaker 1 (31:08):
But I will say Gerard Butler does seem pretty good
in that.
Speaker 2 (31:14):
Oh he was the dad in the original, wasn't he? Yeah?
So I mean, I okay, I'm sure it'll be fine,
but we don't need it. But who needs it? Who
asked for this? Point to them? Where are they?
Speaker 1 (31:25):
What are you gonna do?
Speaker 2 (31:27):
Smack them? Because this is not needed. Give me something new?
Speaker 1 (31:33):
What you like?
Speaker 2 (31:34):
Sonic has been awesome? Why can't we find more things
like that?
Speaker 1 (31:38):
Yeah? I know that's that's not really an original ip,
but it's original films, right, it's original content.
Speaker 3 (31:45):
It has nothing to do with the video games other
than the characters. But just find more originality, please, love
of God, find it.
Speaker 2 (31:55):
Okay, So we got a couple of things.
Speaker 1 (31:57):
I've tried to diffuse the situation by saying I love you.
Speaker 2 (32:00):
It did, and it calmed me down. I appreciate it.
Speaker 1 (32:02):
I know you're welcome. I'm pretty good at that. I
should be a therapists.
Speaker 2 (32:05):
You should be therapists.
Speaker 1 (32:06):
I should be.
Speaker 3 (32:09):
You should not be an English teacher. So a couple
of things coming up, where Mark Bro coming up.
Speaker 1 (32:16):
You're you're am I supposed to buy beads.
Speaker 3 (32:20):
No, we get enough of those at the events here
in Florida. It does not make sense how they throw
so many beads. They throw them at the Christmas.
Speaker 2 (32:28):
Parade, they throw them at Gasparilla, they throw them at
just random events, all these beads.
Speaker 1 (32:35):
Yeah, I know, y'all went to that Christmas parade and
y'all had to wear hard hats because you're getting pelted.
Speaker 2 (32:40):
Oh my god, they were mean.
Speaker 1 (32:43):
Watch watch that kid fall down and cry.
Speaker 2 (32:46):
But then there's Easter that's coming up too.
Speaker 3 (32:50):
Stop, we've got to decorate all the eggs. And then
Saint Patrick's Day where we can actually I think Saint
Patrick's Day is before.
Speaker 1 (33:00):
But yes, that's when we conceived our child.
Speaker 3 (33:03):
Yes, no, it was after Saint Patrick's, but it was
because of a Saint Patrick's Day event.
Speaker 1 (33:08):
You're drinking.
Speaker 2 (33:10):
Meanwhile, it's eighty five and sunny in Florida.
Speaker 1 (33:13):
It is, and we have sunburn, and our families are
getting ready to get smacked up with at least, from
what I read, at least six inches of snow on
on next week English, not in my language.
Speaker 2 (33:27):
You're just a winner today.
Speaker 3 (33:29):
Yes, in Virginia near the Virginia yeah, I said in Virginia.
Speaker 1 (33:33):
No, you're wrong.
Speaker 2 (33:35):
Come down, I love you.
Speaker 1 (33:37):
Take that fingernail.
Speaker 3 (33:38):
In Virginia, they're about to get six inches of snow
on top of their already existing snow from a couple
of weeks ago, so they are.
Speaker 2 (33:46):
Just getting it piled on.
Speaker 3 (33:47):
Meanwhile, we have sunburn from being outdoors this weekend.
Speaker 1 (33:51):
Yep, first, well not first, but soccer and stuff is
in full effect and it's fun.
Speaker 3 (33:58):
But there was a map that showed the United States
of all the weather in one day snapshot. In Plant City, Florida,
it was I forget, I think it was ninety five.
In North Dakota it was negative five, one hundred degree
(34:20):
difference between a northern point and a southern point in
the country.
Speaker 2 (34:24):
That's insane.
Speaker 1 (34:26):
Who the fuck lives in North Dakota not US. I
know my buddy's dad does, well, at least he did,
and he said that it's not good.
Speaker 2 (34:35):
No, come to Florida.
Speaker 1 (34:36):
Imagine the house is how they have to be built
to withstand that that heat is different, like a hundred degrees. Yeah,
it could be kind of uncomfortable after a while. But
you can drink water, hydrate, pour water on yourself.
Speaker 2 (34:51):
Get in water.
Speaker 1 (34:52):
But what are you going to do in negative five?
Speaker 2 (34:56):
Just bury yourself in blankets, fleece wool.
Speaker 1 (35:00):
I can't fire unless you run out of wood. Yeah,
I think. I think. My buddy's dad actually has a
geothermal set up there too, And they dug a big
old hole in the ground, and I.
Speaker 2 (35:10):
Had an intrusive thought. I'm glad I didn't say.
Speaker 1 (35:12):
