This is the Unfiltered Unions.

Speaker 2 (00:08):
Here is this week's episode.

Speaker 1 (00:14):
The preparation it took to start this freaking episode. Take well,
first off, Take four, and nine of those takes are
because of these children. It's Florida. It's a beautiful day,
there's no rain, sky is blue, it's eighty degrees out.
And we said we're gonna start a podcast, so can
you guys please go outside? Just for it was a

(00:36):
poem it is haiku, please go outside. And they were like, okay,
we'll go outside. We've been sitting in here for twenty
minutes and it's been constant knocking on the Can I
have gis? Can I have chips? It's like, why do
you wait until we're doing something to ask all these questions?

Speaker 2 (00:57):
Oh that's children for you.

Speaker 1 (00:58):
Oh my god. It's like they know. It's like their
brains are programmed all the time.

Speaker 2 (01:03):
I feel like husbands are that way too.

Speaker 1 (01:05):
Oh my god, here we go. Don't man plain.

Speaker 2 (01:09):
To me exactly. Yep, keep it to yourself. This is ridiculous.
What it's huge. Microphone is ridiculous.

Speaker 1 (01:17):
It's the best sound in microphone for podcasts out there.
I don't believe it better than the sure.

Speaker 3 (01:23):
I don't believe it because you watch every podcast ever
and everybody uses the shure.

Speaker 2 (01:27):
You're telling me this monstrosity.

Speaker 1 (01:30):
Yes, the Sure is used a lot by most people
only because it is the influencer's microphone.

Speaker 2 (01:38):
Oh we're not influencers.

Speaker 1 (01:41):
No, well we're not that, but everybody it's got an
iconic look the sure.

Speaker 2 (01:46):
It's not this monstrosity, right.

Speaker 1 (01:49):
But this, if you look it up, the sound quality
is much higher.

Speaker 2 (01:55):
So can they hear me breathing?

Speaker 1 (01:56):
Probably? So.

Speaker 2 (01:57):
I was doing my makeup earlier, getting ready for the pack.

Speaker 1 (02:00):
Did you get out of breath doing your makeup?

Speaker 2 (02:02):
Breadth?

Speaker 1 (02:04):
No?

Speaker 3 (02:05):
I was doing my makeup and I could hear myself breathing.
Have you ever heard yourself breathing?

Speaker 1 (02:09):
I hear it all the time. You know what's the worst.
When you're trying to take a nap and you snore
and wake yourself up.

Speaker 3 (02:15):
I hear you breathing all the time. You let out
a lot of air through your nostrils. It's very intense breathing.
But I was doing my makeup and I heard myself breathing.

Speaker 1 (02:24):
Like, oh my god, weird. And you have to do
that to live. That's not something that you can stop
right like there's no diet breathing.

Speaker 3 (02:36):
But I feel like it's like one of those sound
things that just like nails on chalkboard.

Speaker 1 (02:39):
Right.

Speaker 2 (02:40):
Yeah, but if this captures are breathing.

Speaker 1 (02:44):
It's not going to be any different than the other mic.

Speaker 2 (02:46):
I apologize to everyone.

Speaker 1 (02:48):
It does sound better.

Speaker 2 (02:49):
Yeah, we'll see.

Speaker 1 (02:50):
And I use this and it and we did get
a new interface too, because our old broadcaster is taking
them big dump.

Speaker 2 (03:00):
They lasted a long time.

Speaker 1 (03:01):
It did twenty sixteen, twenty sixteen, and then it's just
I wanted something simple. This thing doesn't have any power
going to it. It's called the pod Mobile DSP and
it's by this dude. He makes them all by hand.

Speaker 2 (03:15):
Yeah, and he's been really helpful.

Speaker 1 (03:17):
Yeah. His name is Fernando and he I had issues
with the first one that I was sent, and he
calls me on the phone. I was like, hey man,
I'm having issues. He's like, what's your number? And I
gave it to him and he calls me up right
away and helps me out. It's it's awesome. Yeah, And
I mean he stands by his product that he makes
by hand. He told me on the phone. He was like, bro,

(03:38):
I know the manufacturer. I'll take care of it for you.
I was like, okay, okay, so you're gonna, you're gonna,
you're gonna yell at yourself. But yeah, he's he's a
good dude, and I highly recommend checking him out. It's
audio Sigma pod mobile DSP.

Speaker 2 (03:54):
God if I hear that word Sigma one more.

Speaker 1 (03:56):
Time, Sigma sigma boy, Oh my god.

Speaker 2 (03:59):
That is all ours have been singing recently, is singing mine?
And then what's the other songs? The vegetable songs? I
don't see. I'm gonna hit this thing repeatedly.

Speaker 1 (04:09):
Well what bugs me is we have an Olynka in
our kids room because they play music all the time. Right, Well,
yesterday there was seven seven girls over here. Right, we
have the explicit filter on because obvious, obvious reasons, we
don't want them playing like fucking party up by DMX
or anything that's only okay, wedding, only okay at our wedding.

(04:32):
And well, one of the kids was like, Alexa, turn
off explicit filter.

Speaker 2 (04:38):
I couldn't believe it, said okay.

Speaker 1 (04:40):
I was like this, this is a trader.

Speaker 3 (04:43):
I couldn't believe that a the kid knew to do that.
And be like like sure, why not?

Speaker 1 (04:47):
Ye eat authorization, It's fine, here's your secret security clearance
and nuclear launch do whatever you want.

Speaker 2 (04:54):
But I was shocked.

Speaker 1 (04:56):
I was mad because now all the kids know. Yeah,
now all the kids know. Now I have to relearn Alexa.

Speaker 2 (05:04):
I have to put the filter.

Speaker 1 (05:05):
Back on, and I have to refigure out how I
did that in the first place and figure out if
there's a way that I can somehow pin code it
to where they can't.

Speaker 2 (05:12):
Just say I was shocked.

Speaker 1 (05:16):
I was like, damn, that kid is pretty smart.

Speaker 3 (05:19):
Yeah, who is her parents? It's the first time she's
come around. Okay, you have to watch this one.

Speaker 1 (05:25):
Yeah, yeah, this one's gonna be a she's gonna know
how to get away with stuff. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (05:29):
These Florida kids, I'll tell you what.

Speaker 1 (05:31):
Florida, Florida.

Speaker 2 (05:33):
Well, speaking of Florida, most recently, the Florida Games happened.

Speaker 1 (05:37):
Florida Man Games, Florida Man Games.

Speaker 2 (05:39):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (05:40):
Yeah. Was he the host again?

Speaker 2 (05:42):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (05:43):
He deserves it.

Speaker 2 (05:43):
Absolutely. He is the reason why I was okay moving
to Florida.

Speaker 1 (05:47):
I know, yeah, his his what do they he had
like instructional videos of Florida living.

Speaker 3 (05:54):
Well, it was like it's parody, right, Like, you know,
Florida's crazy, sure, but it's.

Speaker 2 (06:00):
Okay, right its.

Speaker 1 (06:05):
Most states don't have alligators, right, crocodiles or crocodiles. And
he just kind of breaks it down, like, look, just
because we have them, it doesn't mean they're just gonna
eat you.

Speaker 3 (06:17):
Right, It's an everyday thing, right. They they hurricanes don't
scare us.

Speaker 2 (06:21):
I mean, we read out of the way.

Speaker 1 (06:22):
But the reason why people and alligators have a lot
of run ins with each other and bad things happen
is because of people people feeding them. Then they start
associating food with humans, and then humans have bad run
ins with an alligator because he's like, hey, bro, you
got some chicken.

Speaker 2 (06:41):
Where's the public's meet?

Speaker 1 (06:43):
Yeah? Yeah, yeah, let me get that pup sub bro.
And then all of a sudden, it's like, you don't
have a pub someb them, I'll bite your leg off instead.

Speaker 2 (06:49):
Oh that wasn't it my best?

Speaker 3 (06:52):
But yes, omg, it's Wicks was the host, and they
had a couple of games that I want to run
by you to see if you would.

Speaker 2 (06:59):
Actually play that.

Speaker 1 (07:01):
I can barely get out of bed without getting out
of breath, so I doubt I would play any of them.

Speaker 3 (07:07):
So one of our neighbors we actually had around the
podcast before is a personal trainer.

Speaker 2 (07:10):
I'm gonna tell her, you need help.

Speaker 1 (07:12):
I do need help, but my motivation level is so
low and it's not good. No, it is not good.

Speaker 2 (07:20):
So you wouldn't play Okalla knockerball.

Speaker 1 (07:23):
I have no idea what that means.

Speaker 3 (07:25):
Essentially soccer, but with the inflatable things and you can
just run and hit people with your Yeah, the inflatable ball.

Speaker 1 (07:33):
So you're inside the inflatable ball.

Speaker 2 (07:35):
Yeah, and you run and you kick, and you play soccer.

Speaker 1 (07:37):
How you kick inside of the ball. You just run
into the ball.

Speaker 2 (07:40):
Well, your feet are hanging out. It's like your knees
down out.

Speaker 1 (07:43):
Yeah yeah, that's not I mean that would be kind
of fun, right.

Speaker 2 (07:45):
I thought that one was fun because.

Speaker 1 (07:47):
It's pure contact. It is full contact sport.

Speaker 2 (07:49):
And then they had a mechanical gaiteror you.

Speaker 1 (07:52):
Gotta ride it.

Speaker 2 (07:53):
Yeah okay, I thought that was fun.

Speaker 1 (07:55):
Yeah no, no, okay, Well then they had some more
and I'll get sprained ankle or something on a mechanical
so I am. I am terrified to get hurt now because.

Speaker 2 (08:10):
You're not tall. It's not a long way down.

Speaker 1 (08:12):
But being thirty seven, that's not even that old, right,
But I'm gonna be thirty seven. Shut up, man, Oh,
I can't even do math. But being thirty seven, it
takes a lot longer to heal than it used to. Yeah,
I'm terrified that, like im break an arm and I'm
out of commission.

Speaker 2 (08:33):
For a couple of weeks.

Speaker 1 (08:34):
You'd be fine for a couple of years and whatever.

Speaker 2 (08:37):
But some of the other ones that they had that
are more Florida man.

Speaker 1 (08:40):
Right, evading the police, Yeah, that was that's a that's
a leftover from last year, right, would you try it?
He ain't know. I'm the only thing I'm evading is taxes.

Speaker 3 (08:54):
Also not true, let's put that out there. But well,
last night you were running away from the kids. We
were playing ball in the street.

Speaker 1 (09:00):
And do you remember the aftermath. I thought I had
a hangover. I thought I was gonna throw up.

Speaker 2 (09:08):
My god.

Speaker 1 (09:11):
Oh, everybody in the neighborhood told me to turn my
heart rate down because they could hear it.

Speaker 2 (09:17):
Is that what that was?

Speaker 1 (09:18):
Rather than the drums, it was my heart pumping out
trying to keep up.

Speaker 2 (09:24):
Well, then the other one, which you have to know,
Floridian mythology is eating butt contest.

Speaker 1 (09:35):
Eating but remember you don't.

Speaker 3 (09:38):
Remember, Okay, story was guy had on his car decals
of IA.

Speaker 1 (09:44):
Yeah, and the cop pulled them.

Speaker 2 (09:46):
Over and they went to court and everything.

Speaker 1 (09:48):
How do you feel about that about so this dude
you just said it, But he had I eat a
S S sticker on his vehicle and a cop pulled
him over and said that's inappropriate. He I think he
wrote him a ticket.

Speaker 2 (10:01):
Actually he went to court.

Speaker 1 (10:03):
And how do you feel about that?

Speaker 2 (10:06):
I mean, it's not illegal, it's not.

Speaker 1 (10:09):
Illegal, it's not legal. It's freedom of speech.

Speaker 3 (10:12):
Now, if it was something that depicted something bad.

Speaker 1 (10:15):
There's a difference between indecent exposure and saying a word though, right.

Speaker 3 (10:19):
Agreed, Agreed, Yeah, I think the the illegal part, right,
If you're actually depicting that, that's that's a little.

Speaker 1 (10:26):
You can't do that.

Speaker 2 (10:27):
That's a little lude.

Speaker 1 (10:28):
You can't you can't post a picture. You can't like
have your only fans lorn hubs streaming out of your
car window. That's true, So I forgotten VPNs don't exist.

Speaker 3 (10:40):
But the but the eating contest was just like an
eating like a eating contest, So I don't know I
didn't look.

Speaker 1 (10:49):
I was scared I would be too.

Speaker 2 (10:50):
I didn't look. I was scared.

Speaker 1 (10:52):
Eating, but I could. I can't imagine what they would eat. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (10:55):
Well, speaking of eating.

Speaker 1 (10:57):
Don't no, it's my favorite pastime.

Speaker 2 (11:01):
It really is like we are absolute foodies. Foot is
which is.

Speaker 1 (11:06):
I will say, when we first moved to Florida, the
food here was kind of whack. We have.

Speaker 2 (11:12):
It depends on where we went.

Speaker 3 (11:14):
I agree, we were in the place that didn't have
the best food.

Speaker 1 (11:17):
We had a really hard time. I was like, man,
the food down here is not that good. But then
we finally started branching out, and I will say, the
food choices here are a lot better than where we
came from.

Speaker 2 (11:30):
Yeah. I mean I think where we initially started in
Florida didn't have the.

Speaker 1 (11:35):
Best food options Plant City.

Speaker 2 (11:37):
Plant City. But coming into we have good strawberries though,
oh yeah. And what was the other thing that they had, cubans.

Speaker 1 (11:44):
Good cubans, Yeah, strawberry hut.

Speaker 3 (11:48):
But then coming into more the Tampa area, now there's
a lot more choices.

Speaker 1 (11:53):
Tacos every time they should sponsor the show.

Speaker 3 (11:58):
Yeah, and then as much money as we spend and
then quickly boba right, next door quickly Boba.

Speaker 1 (12:03):
That's our good. We went there what Thursday, Thursday or Friday,
I don't know. We went, but our thing is our
perfect date night. Drive over, get some Boba and walk
to tacos. The taco joint only has like can sodas
and stuff, and I'm not going to buy a can
soda from a place I just doesn't sound good. So

(12:27):
we go to Boba first, get a drink, then we
walk over to tacos. Well, Friday, we went to Boba first,
had tacos, then we went back to Boba.

Speaker 2 (12:35):
That we could have bob but tomorrow, well the.

Speaker 1 (12:37):
Next day I drank mine before we got home to bobas.
Then I couldn't sleep.

Speaker 2 (12:42):
Yeah, that sounds about right. But eggs are.

Speaker 3 (12:45):
Still expensive right now right, they're cheaper though, I mean
they're coming down.

Speaker 2 (12:49):
But they are still expensive.

Speaker 3 (12:50):
Yes, but iguanas are invasive in Florida. Yeah, people have
taken to eating iguana eggs.

Speaker 1 (13:00):
How does that work?

Speaker 2 (13:00):
Instead of fame chicken eggs.

Speaker 1 (13:04):
I don't know how does that work? So they have
they lay unfertilized eggs.

Speaker 2 (13:08):
I don't know. I don't know how this works, but
I was curious, like would you try it?

Speaker 1 (13:13):
The fuck know?

Speaker 2 (13:14):
It seems like a very Floridian thing to do.

Speaker 1 (13:17):
I don't know how that works. Now, I got to
do my science and go look it up and see
if they actually lay unfertilized eggs.

Speaker 2 (13:24):
Well, it's like that should.

Speaker 3 (13:25):
Be part of the Florida man games, in my opinion,
is eating like all the random Florida stuff.

Speaker 2 (13:29):
Yeah, they should gatertail.

Speaker 1 (13:31):
Yeah, that's what they when they want to when they
say I eat eat, But they should do gator butt.

Speaker 2 (13:36):
There go gatortail.

Speaker 1 (13:38):
I love that shit, So it's good. It's got to
be done right though, or else it's kind of schewy.

Speaker 3 (13:42):
Yes, but then you know, obviously there's still things like
ostrich eggs and some other random ones that.

Speaker 1 (13:48):
You never have one of those either either.

Speaker 2 (13:50):
But I would try it. Would you.

Speaker 1 (13:53):
Have to have a big cast iron pan to cook
that thing.

Speaker 2 (13:56):
Crack it open and.

Speaker 1 (13:58):
Fill up our cast iron. By the way, we need
more cast irons, oh do we?

Speaker 3 (14:03):
But it is spring break, yes, and it's almost over.
Well at least for our Florida kids. Understood that, you know,
other places, other schools.

Speaker 2 (14:14):
We're not colleges.

Speaker 1 (14:16):
That's the this is the beginning. Of the vacation season
for Florida.

Speaker 2 (14:19):
Yep, and it's gonna get crazy. It's already crazy.

Speaker 1 (14:23):
Yeah. No, we went well last weekend to the beach
and it was packed, yep. And it wasn't I don't know,
it wasn't worth it to me.

Speaker 2 (14:32):
Well, last weekend even this weekend is chili for the beach.

Speaker 1 (14:36):
It's chilly and the wind was just whipping and hitting
you and pelting you with sand. It felt like needles. Yeah.
And the water was super cold, so there was no
That was the thing too. It's like when you go
to the beach, you gotta have shelter to get out
of the sun so you don't fry to a crisp Well,
last weekend, when you sat in the shelter, you froze

(14:59):
and then you walk out and you'd get in the
into the sun to warm up and then you get sunburned.

Speaker 2 (15:04):
It didn't It was like torture if not to so ridiculous.
We are hashtag glussed to be in Florida and able
to go to.

Speaker 1 (15:12):
The beach in March Man, it wasn't worth it.

Speaker 2 (15:15):
A Gator thought so too.

Speaker 1 (15:17):
I saw that was that where was that siesta? Y e?
Things partying down there with the spring Breakers, and.

Speaker 2 (15:23):
It was crowded. I wonder how that.

Speaker 1 (15:28):
I wonder, did you just get lost? I don't know,
because that I don't think they can survive very mating season.

Speaker 2 (15:36):
So they're you know, moving around trying to mate with
an ocean man. That'd be fun.

Speaker 1 (15:44):
A manatee, gator hybrid, the gator tea. Maybe a man manotour. Oh,
I like that one evil that's so a giant scaly
sweet potato.

Speaker 2 (15:58):
Sweet potato, I guess.

Speaker 3 (16:01):
But you know, overall spring break, we also had some
tornado warnings. There was a hurricane that popped up in
the Atlantic.

Speaker 1 (16:10):
Yeah, no, no, no worries though on that one.

Speaker 3 (16:13):
No, no, no, it went away. But it just seems like
we're starting early. Yeah, we're starting early with all this
crazy weather stuff.

Speaker 1 (16:20):
Right. It was I don't know, Florida's tripping. We've been
saying that, like ever since we've moved here, the winters
haven't been as mild as our first year.

Speaker 2 (16:29):
Oh, that first year was awesome.

Speaker 1 (16:31):
It was insane. I remember December eleventh or tenth, we
went to the We went to sand Hill, Sir, sand
Pine Key, sand Pine sand Key, sand Key. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (16:43):
No, it was clear water at the sand.

Speaker 1 (16:45):
Pearl, I know, but it's up there. I think that
it's technically a key and it's sand key or something
like that. Anyway, we went there and it was freaking amazing.

Speaker 2 (16:54):
Yeah, beautiful weather.

Speaker 1 (16:56):
Got hassled for having a dog on the beach.

Speaker 2 (16:59):
Mm hm our service dog.

Speaker 1 (17:01):
Yeah, he's a service dog though when needed.

Speaker 2 (17:06):
And then we also went to the pool for Christmas.

Speaker 3 (17:08):
But now it just seems like the weather is so extreme,
like you no bounce them back and forth.

Speaker 2 (17:13):
Hopefully we'll get a mild one here soon.

Speaker 1 (17:15):
It's windy and it's cold, so it's like getting in
the water. The water's cold, then you get out and
the wind makes you even colder, and then you get
p pneumonia and then you die.

Speaker 3 (17:24):
So Mississippi had a three point zero earthquake and tornadoes
all at once. Other states also experienced multiple tornadoes. Total,
forty two have died because of these popped up tornadoes
were not the only ones.

Speaker 2 (17:45):
Yeah, have horrible weather recently.

Speaker 1 (17:47):
Well and my I have a couple of coworkers in Nebraska.
They just had a blizzard. Oh my god, lost power
for I think a couple of days. I mean, it
was a major, major snowstorm. The weather has been tripping.

Speaker 2 (17:59):
Yeah, we need to be done. I am ready for summer.

Speaker 1 (18:02):
I am too.

Speaker 2 (18:02):
I am over there.

Speaker 1 (18:03):
Melt me.

Speaker 2 (18:04):
Please quote him, Remind him that he said that once
we get to the.

Speaker 1 (18:09):
I will take it. See that's the thing, Like, yes,
I hate winter, but I always hate winter. There's not
a time in my life that I like winter. I
will take the melting hot sun over anything else. I mean, well,
spring is good when it's actually spring, but we haven't

(18:30):
had that yet here.

Speaker 3 (18:31):
No, we are struggling, but it's not as bad as
swimming out into the middle of the water to save
something that looks like it's drowning.

Speaker 1 (18:41):
Oh my god, they're evolving, right, So have you seen
this picture? Yeah, Indonesian gators. The crocs are the gators
across I think they're crocs.

Speaker 3 (18:51):
Okay, so they're crocs in Indonesia and they look like
they're drowning.

Speaker 2 (18:55):
They stick up their little hens.

Speaker 1 (18:56):
Yeah, and they got it looks like fingers. Yeah, they
are like spread and they're like help me. And then
Joe Schmoe swims out there and then you gets free meal. Yeah,
he's like I ordered uber eats comes right, to me.

Speaker 2 (19:11):
So, yeah, the.

Speaker 3 (19:12):
Crocs are rolling over, hands up, somebody swims out gets eaten.

Speaker 2 (19:16):
Now, I will say I've read a couple of articles
that said that.

Speaker 3 (19:19):
They debunk this that yeah, whatever scientists are saying, Oh,
it could be an actual behavior that we're just misunderstanding.

Speaker 1 (19:28):
What's he doing.

Speaker 2 (19:29):
I think he's getting a benefit.

Speaker 3 (19:32):
This crocodile gets a benefit out of doing this.

Speaker 2 (19:35):
So maybe it's a learned behavior.

Speaker 1 (19:37):
But yeah, but what what animals are? They survive by
eating everything, especially alligators and crocs. They're like, I'm gonna
eat you. You're here, I'm gonna eat you. Also like scavengers, right,
they eat what they can get.

Speaker 2 (19:53):
Opportunist eaters.

Speaker 1 (19:55):
So what was what would playing dead drowning in the
water accomplished for them? Like fish aren't going to look
at him and be like, oh he's darrying, I'm gonna
eat him.

Speaker 2 (20:04):
No, maybe it didn't do it on purpose the first time.

Speaker 1 (20:06):
But but then, like I said, Joe Schmoel swam out
there and he got five stars on a Zuber eats delivery.

Speaker 2 (20:13):
Yep, mm hmm, good quality.

Speaker 1 (20:16):
They're evolving. Yeah he was, I was fresh still ninety
eight point seven degrees hot.

Speaker 3 (20:21):
So I think people when it comes to crocs, maybe
we need like security guards around, Like, no, nope, he's
not drowning.

Speaker 1 (20:29):
Person, leave them alone.

Speaker 2 (20:31):
It doesn't cross ripping.

Speaker 1 (20:34):
Meanwhile, according to scientists, he's not trying to eat you though, according.

Speaker 2 (20:38):
To scientists, this is a behavior you're misinterpreting.

Speaker 1 (20:42):
Yeah, okay, well, okay, so I'm the dumb one. Teach
me how to speak croc then, dumb ass, I don't
like all that, and no, don't okay. Meanwhile, space is fake.

Speaker 2 (20:54):
No, we're not there yet. Hold on. So meanwhile, in Tennessee,
have you heard about this story?

Speaker 1 (21:01):
I don't know. That's Tennessee.

Speaker 3 (21:03):
There was a license security guard at a nightclub license
security guard at a night club in Tennessee. Someone opened
fire on the crowd that was standing outside the night club,
and the licensed security guard opened fire back, apparently grazed
the shooter. Because the would be shooter ended up in
the hospital with non life frightening injuries, dang it basically

(21:25):
told him, told on himself and is now going to jail.
But because of the quick actions of this licensed security guard.

Speaker 2 (21:34):
People were saved. Yeah, of course we need more of that.
Good stories.

Speaker 3 (21:39):
One where the licensed security guard took action and there
was no mass shooting.

Speaker 2 (21:45):
We need more stories.

Speaker 1 (21:46):
Like that, I don't know. I mean the alternative to
you can't destroy all the guns. That's just the way
it is. They exist, They're always going to exist. They're
made of metal. They're not going nowhere. So how do
you stop this kind of stuff. You give a good

(22:06):
guy with training like this guy was a firearm, teach
him how to use it, put him in a job
like that, and he just saved people's lives. Who knows
how many.

Speaker 3 (22:18):
Now, I feel like it's more of the idea that
there's a good story out there.

Speaker 1 (22:24):
There's a lot of them that are not reported.

Speaker 2 (22:26):
On, right and why, Like I feel like.

Speaker 1 (22:29):
Well, because a lot of them don't even really make
the news.

Speaker 3 (22:34):
But again, I feel like it's like, why we are
so inundated with just horrible stories.

Speaker 2 (22:41):
I'm sick of it.

Speaker 1 (22:42):
Just imagine if that guy wasn't there, how many people
would be right because of some nutjob. We have a
mental health crisis, not a gun crisis in this country.
Let's be clear, Well, we have issues with American health
period which your body health equals mental health too. It's

(23:03):
all connected. I think so would we eat and everything
go ahead.

Speaker 3 (23:07):
I think it's what we're also consuming in the media.
I feel like if we had more good stories.

Speaker 1 (23:13):
Yeah, constant negativity is never good.

Speaker 2 (23:16):
For your brain, exactly. So another good story you.

Speaker 1 (23:19):
Said exactly, that was expensive word you just said there, right?

Speaker 3 (23:24):
Oh no, I swapped it out for an iguana egg.
It's okay to help the invasiveness. No, Another good story
is the astronauts. They finally got to come home. Yes, thankfully,
that's a feel good thing in my opinion, that they
finally got to come home after nine months of being
stuck up there.

Speaker 1 (23:41):
Yeah, hopefully they're able to kind of do their physical
therapy and stuff and get back to normal because their
bodies are atrophied. From what I saw and read about,
their health does take a major hit coming back to
Earth because of gravity. Mm hmm.

Speaker 2 (23:56):
Remember on Wally why at.

Speaker 3 (24:00):
Ur Kiddo's favorite back in the day. But they were all,
you know, in space and they looked like babes. Their
bone density was none, but.

Speaker 1 (24:07):
They had a lot of fluffy So I.

Speaker 3 (24:10):
Can imagine right that they made these astronauts who were
up there for nine extra months.

Speaker 1 (24:16):
Well, speaking of that, Trump was in some kind of
not really a press conference, but he takes questions when
he does whatever. He was asked, like, do the astronauts,
since they weren't supposed to be up there for nine
months straight, do they get overtime because their salary only
their salary. So the answer is no. But Trump said,

(24:37):
I didn't even know. I didn't even think about this.
Nobody even brought this up to me. If I have to,
I will pay them out of my own pocket because
they should be getting more, a lot more than what
they got.

Speaker 3 (24:48):
Yeah, it's almost like hazard pay, not even overtime. It's
like Hazard pays, well.

Speaker 1 (24:52):
They get something. It's kind of similar like that, but
it's still only equaled out to like five bucks a day.
Oh so they it was like a thousand dollars extra,
only one thousand bucks for nine months of not seeing
your family, your friends, destroying your body.

Speaker 2 (25:10):
How bored are you too? You know, like that mental
game of being stuck in space in a tube.

Speaker 1 (25:18):
I don't know. I mean I think they actually go
up there and they do a lot of stuff, but
still you you don't go up there and play Xbox.

Speaker 3 (25:27):
You're not conversating with anybody other than somebody on a
mic and maybe the other person that stuck with you. You're
not seeing, you're not touching grass.

Speaker 1 (25:36):
Weird to me too, is like, why do they keep
sending people up there? I thought the plan was to
bring that thing down. I don't know, didn't. Yeah, I
think one of our episodes we even talked about it.

Speaker 2 (25:46):
That's I think like a twenty fifty projection. It's not
anything soon.

Speaker 1 (25:51):
Yeah, well, what the hell, man, why are we going
up there anyway?

Speaker 2 (25:54):
What's out there?

Speaker 1 (25:55):
Bab right there? What's out nothing? How about we focus
our energy on uh, multiplanetary.

Speaker 3 (26:05):
Species, multiplanetary jumping travel, that's the word traveling.

Speaker 1 (26:11):
Yeah, yeah, we should be on Mars and stuff.

Speaker 2 (26:13):
Yeah, we need, we need. But if you think about it, though,
So these astronauts.

Speaker 1 (26:19):
I want Matt Damon grew potatoes up there. Man, we'd
be fine. I know. That's what I'm saying. That's our
first step.

Speaker 2 (26:26):
Okay, But these astronauts stuck up there for nine months.

Speaker 3 (26:29):
They were brought back from SpaceX, right, yes, SpaceX is how.

Speaker 1 (26:33):
They got Boeing. Was supposed to bring him back, but
they failed miserably.

Speaker 3 (26:37):
SpaceX has a lot of failures too, like how An
c and nervous?

Speaker 2 (26:42):
Are you? Were those astronauts and like SpaceX is coming.

Speaker 1 (26:46):
What's their failures?

Speaker 2 (26:48):
They had the thing blow up recently, that's R and D.

Speaker 1 (26:51):
That's not that had nothing to do with the rockets
that they used to send things up and send things back.
I'm serious at that. That's it's like comparing a Chevy
Corvette to a Chevy Silverado. It's not even remotely the
same thing one has been. I mean, that's a stupid analogy,

(27:13):
but I'm saying, though, and oranges you it is though,
because what we'll say, the apple was investigated and researched
to death. They got all the bugs out of the apple,
but the orange is still kind of like we don't
know how to we don't know how to grow this
thing yet. I'm serious, it's the same thing.

Speaker 2 (27:32):
Your analogy is just on.

Speaker 1 (27:34):
I am stupid, but it's the same. Like one thing
has been tested, it's been shown, the performance has been
shown to work.

Speaker 3 (27:44):
They've you would have no apprehension and say SpaceX is
coming to get you.

Speaker 1 (27:50):
I would take SpaceX over Boeing.

Speaker 2 (27:55):
I mean, you might have a point.

Speaker 1 (27:59):
I ain't going, oh you might have a point, y'all
can't even fly airplanes right right now.

Speaker 2 (28:05):
You might think, did you see the Boeing guy get
absolutely destroyed in Congress? The CEO?

Speaker 3 (28:10):
No, oh, he just might be old, to be honest
with you, but he got destroyed. He had a twenty
six percent raise while everyone else in the company had
maybe like one or two percent, and.

Speaker 1 (28:20):
While the company is going up in flames. Yeah, yeah,
that was interesting, mind boggling.

Speaker 2 (28:26):
But Tesla cars are being destroyed, which is ridiculous, and
vandalized and sold Like what do you think you're dowey?

Speaker 1 (28:34):
I'm telling you, I do you.

Speaker 2 (28:36):
Think you're doing?

Speaker 1 (28:37):
Everybody tell it. Please keep selling your Tesla's saturate the
market with your model water.

Speaker 2 (28:42):
You're not getting the Tesla.

Speaker 1 (28:44):
What if it goes that's twenty five k.

Speaker 2 (28:46):
We're not getting Tesla if it goes.

Speaker 1 (28:48):
To twenty five k. We have a van that's worth
thirty something. Listen to me, Listen to what I'm saying.
Our paint it will be three hundred bucks a month
on a seventeen thousand mile Tesla.

Speaker 2 (29:01):
You ready?

Speaker 3 (29:02):
Yeah, Okay, No, they're not.

Speaker 2 (29:05):
Kidding a Tesla?

Speaker 1 (29:07):
Why not?

Speaker 3 (29:07):
And I'm not I don't give a crap about Elon
or Tesla or any of that. It's just because we
have a van. It serves a purpose, it has eight seats, eight,
it does eight seats in it.

Speaker 2 (29:20):
I want to maintain that many seats. Why Tesla doesn't
have that, Why that's a vehicle, not a question?

Speaker 1 (29:27):
How often? How often do we use those ninety four seats?

Speaker 2 (29:33):
I would say at least once a month.

Speaker 1 (29:34):
That's a lie. It is that well even so, it's
like everybody that needs to sit in the car can
sit in their own car too.

Speaker 3 (29:42):
Right, But when it costs per car, we can get
away with only paying for one car rather than three cars.

Speaker 1 (29:51):
Like what costs per car?

Speaker 3 (29:53):
Oh, when we did the Festival of Lights. When we did,
there's a couple other things.

Speaker 1 (29:57):
Oh, you go to so the Festival of Lights that
we all agreed that we will never go back to.

Speaker 2 (30:04):
Fair But you go into Honeymoon Island, it's per car.

Speaker 1 (30:09):
Okay.

Speaker 2 (30:10):
So my point is, My point is I don't want.

Speaker 1 (30:13):
To pay for oil changes. I want to pay less
for brake pads less often. Gasoline is expensive. We have
a freaking solar system on our house that can be
used to generate energy and have a free gas tank
or a free tank of.

Speaker 2 (30:31):
Vaults.

Speaker 3 (30:32):
Yeah, but in the winter months when it's not as sunny.

Speaker 1 (30:35):
It doesn't matter. It's still the ROI is a lot
higher and a lot faster than a gas guzzler.

Speaker 2 (30:43):
Not getting Tesla, but we'll see.

Speaker 3 (30:46):
Really curious what people think they're doing after you've already
bought it, that you sell it, it depreciates in value.

Speaker 1 (30:55):
Money you gave Elone your money, So what are we doing?
Elon's not really making money off of secondhand stuff other
than maybe service calls and things of that nature.

Speaker 2 (31:04):
Right, and then if you destroy a Tesla or if
you vandalize.

Speaker 1 (31:07):
It, then you go to jail.

Speaker 2 (31:09):
Right, So what are we doing? What are we doing?

Speaker 1 (31:12):
I don't understand it, I really don't. I mean, you
don't have to like what the dude's doing, and that's
totally fine. But vandalizing property that's not yours, not smart
selling your vehicle whatever to you, that's not violent. And
if that's what you.

Speaker 2 (31:28):
Want to do, then it doesn't make sense.

Speaker 1 (31:31):
But go ahead, you know, you show him, you show.

Speaker 2 (31:35):
That South Africa you already paid.

Speaker 1 (31:36):
Him, Yeah that you already paid him. You show him
that you don't like Tesla.

Speaker 2 (31:40):
Never buy another one? Maybe?

Speaker 1 (31:41):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, that's the that's the smart thing
to do. But they're telling people to like carry guns
if you own a Tesla because they're getting harassed on
the street and all that stuff. It makes no sense.
It's like, dude, I own a car, I don't. I mean,
it's not just because Elon's a CEO. It doesn't mean
that I sup what he's doing.

Speaker 2 (32:01):
Right.

Speaker 3 (32:03):
Meanwhile, Selena's murderer had a gun in her car and
killed Selena.

Speaker 1 (32:09):
Yeah, she's about to get out, ain't she.

Speaker 3 (32:11):
I swear to my god if I don't give a
damn about Tesla.

Speaker 2 (32:16):
But none of that.

Speaker 3 (32:17):
But if Yolanda gets out of jail, I don't know
how I'm gonna feel. I might that's something I would
write over. That's something I would go to the streets for.

Speaker 1 (32:26):
You go onto the streets or go to the streets
over Selena. Yes, yeah, that's weird. I mean I feel
like that kind of stuff, like if you take a life,
your life is for fifth.

Speaker 2 (32:38):
Which makes no sense. Right, If you get a life
sentence you can go out on parole one.

Speaker 1 (32:42):
Yeah, I don't think that's how it should work.

Speaker 2 (32:44):
So my life is only worth like thirty years.

Speaker 1 (32:46):
Right, she took away a young girl's life, and she.

Speaker 2 (32:49):
Could have been bigger than anyone today as far as
music goes, right, But it's just.

Speaker 1 (32:58):
To me if you're a murderer and you did it
and it wasn't like self defense, you know, she admitted.
She admitted that she just capped her. Your life's forfeit. Ye.
And I'm not saying that they should just put you
in the chair, but prison for the rest of your

(33:18):
life is probably fair.

Speaker 2 (33:19):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (33:20):
At the very least, you took away somebody's life, So
guess what yours is now taken away? You don't get
to do that.

Speaker 3 (33:28):
But I saw on TikTok this one Latin lady, Latina lady,
and she said, all the Latinas are going to go
and wait to see if Yolanda comes out.

Speaker 2 (33:37):
I will drive to get away car. I will help.
I can be there.

Speaker 3 (33:41):
What if they if they're going to do anything against Yolando,
I could be there. I can be there and support.

Speaker 1 (33:47):
I mean you just do you be there in support
of a protest? Yes, I'm there, A non violent protest okay,
maybe no, a non violent protest okay, just to be clear,
no violent, yes, okay.

Speaker 2 (34:01):
Exactly Okay, good, I'm just driving.

Speaker 1 (34:05):
Driving what a Tesla shut off?

Speaker 2 (34:10):
So what's the worst fight that you ever saw in
high school?

Speaker 1 (34:14):
I read this question and I had to think, But
my I think the worst one was when I was
in ninth grade. So I was fresh into high school
and these two black chicks were fighting and oh my god,
there was weave everywhere. I'm serious, Like they were yanking
each other's hair out and it was everywhere.

Speaker 2 (34:35):
That's not the one I thought you were going to say.

Speaker 1 (34:37):
Which one?

Speaker 2 (34:38):
I think we're going to talk about. The belts one?

Speaker 1 (34:40):
The belts, Yeah you're talking about Did I see this?

Speaker 2 (34:44):
Yeah? You told me what you told me that there
was a fight. I didn't even see this, so I
I can't say that this is mine. But you told
me that there were two guys.

Speaker 3 (34:54):
They took off their belts and they were fighting each
other with them, like hitting each other with their belts.

Speaker 1 (34:58):
You're, yeah, must be your up her boyfriend.

Speaker 2 (35:02):
Well, there weren't many before you.

Speaker 1 (35:04):
Well you better talked to them, because I don't remember
ever telling you that. I never seen nobody beating each
other with a belt other than my mama.

Speaker 2 (35:14):
Okay, fair enough. I thought it was gonna be the
belts one.

Speaker 1 (35:16):
So I don't remember that, Okay, I really honestly, I
don't think I've seen that many fights in high school. Really, yeah,
there wasn't much.

Speaker 3 (35:25):
It was definitely my freshman year, so it would have
been your sophomore that I saw the most, Like.

Speaker 2 (35:32):
There were so many. Yeah, I don't know if it's
something about that year that just.

Speaker 1 (35:36):
It's almost like going to prison. You got to establish
dominance immediately. Yeah, yeah, yeah, No, mine was three girls.

Speaker 3 (35:44):
There was three girls against one and up the one
she actually held her own, but still, and then one
of the assistant principals was like all messed up, makeup smeared,
and she's screaming and everybody go to class and trump
and tizing times.

Speaker 1 (36:01):
Yeah, I remember that, that fact that I was talking
about where the weave was everywhere there they I remember
the principal and they're the administrators coming there and trying
to tell everybody to go to class. I'm like, I
can't man's pay per view.

Speaker 2 (36:14):
This was before cell phones, before TikTok.

Speaker 1 (36:18):
There was no recording it. It was like we got
live action.

Speaker 2 (36:21):
I wonder if that almost keeps kids.

Speaker 1 (36:24):
No, No, I don't know I was thinking that. I
do think it probably. I mean, I see lots of
Karen videos, but I do think that it makes you
think twice about being a dick when you're older.

Speaker 2 (36:37):
I think, if you're the right person, maybe Yeah.

Speaker 1 (36:40):
Like I said, there's a mental health crisis in this country,
so I think a lot of people they don't care
or I don't know, they think that it's not going
to happen, that they're going to get recorded and immortalized online. Right,
But that that for example, that one older dude he
got caught. Dude was recording punching his window in his car.

(37:01):
It was like a road rage incident, you know what
I'm talking about. But everybody's like remixing the video. He's
punging the car in a cadence, so they're like doing
music to it and dancing, and it's like this dude
will he will never ever ever live that down. It's forever.

Speaker 2 (37:19):
No, I've lost it the other day on a video
where the old man was trying to put money in
a cold booth to try and get out of the parking.

Speaker 1 (37:27):
Yeah. But see that's funny though, I know, but I
feel like.

Speaker 3 (37:30):
I need more of that in my life and not
this right you value brought it up.

Speaker 1 (37:35):
Yeah, I agree though, but I'm just saying, if you
go out there and you act like an asshole, be
prepared to be immortalized as an asshole.

Speaker 2 (37:43):
Yep.

Speaker 1 (37:44):
And that that happened to this dude. And my dad
sends me videos. He's like, here's another one. It'd be
months six months later and he's like, I found another one.
It's another remix and a dude will be playing the
guitar and he's punching the window playing the drums.

Speaker 3 (37:58):
I'm really go need to get back to more of
like the ASV videos, Like, let's get back to that
where those are funny.

Speaker 1 (38:07):
You can watch them in front of your kids, right, Yeah,
I missed those, me too, Me too? I love you
should stop it? Yeah? Do you want to stop it? Now?

Speaker 2 (38:21):
Here? What are we at?
