Why did Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi choose the UK as their new home? Is it a simple retirement plan or a politically driven move in the wake of Trump's election? We dive into these questions and explore the aftermath of Ellen's controversial career, dissecting the public's skepticism and the accusations that led to her talk show's cancellation. We consider the broader trend of Americans moving abroad, reflecting on the cultural and political nuances that such a decision entails. Ellen’s attempts to mend her public image through humor in her Netflix special are another piece of this puzzle, raising themes of personal accountability in both public and private life.
From the public persona of kindness to the off-screen allegations, what can Ellen teach us about the importance of accountability and legacy? We draw parallels between Ellen's story and personal anecdotes, exploring the complex nature of relationships and friendships. Inspired by personal experiences, we ponder the challenges of modern technology and customer service, as well as the quirks of daily life like Florida traffic and unexpected events. Through these musings, we reveal the relatable chaos and unpredictability of our own lives.
As the holiday season approaches, we share personal stories about reinventing Thanksgiving traditions, the importance of positivity and breaking away from toxic relationships. Join us as we navigate the complexities of decision-making, the passage of time, and the everyday hurdles that shape our lives, all while maintaining a healthy dose of humor and introspection.

Speaker 1 (00:35):
What's up everybody?
We are back with anotherepisode of Coco Off the Grid.
Hey, it's going to be what it'sgoing to be, right?
In any case, I got the niceminty, fresh breath for y'all.
I have not eaten yet, sorry, Isee more chair movement.
I hate this fucking chair.
Anyway, we're going to cover alittle bit of stuff today.
I don't know that we're goingto make it to the full hour, but
(00:56):
I'm going to do my best.
Hopefully my chair has settlednow so we can just be fucking
cool and be friends and just nothave this problem.
Probably not, though it'sprobably going to give me
another issue.
My mouse looks like it wants todie on me, which is fine, but
also it's going to have to chillfor a minute because I still
need to fucking do this show.
Right, I haven't had my coffeeor bagel yet, so we'll see how
(01:19):
this goes, all right.
So the first thing I want totalk about is who the fuck cares
that ellen's moving to englandor the uk, whatever you want to
call it.
Who really cares about that?
Um, I'm gonna google it andwe're gonna read, because this
is outrageous that this is evenconsidered news ellen moving,
(01:42):
let's see.
I like how there's a gif.
Who cares?
That's so fucking funny.
All right, let's see Yahoocom.
They always have good stuff.
Sorry, I was laughing at adifferent article that said that
Meghan Markle's not followingher.
So let's see.
It says Ellen DeGeneres moved tothe UK as reportedly for
retirement after being kickedout of Hollywood.
(02:04):
I'm pretty sure she wasn'tkicked out.
I'm pretty sure she did that toherself.
It's no longer news that EllenDeGeneres is relocated to the UK
with her wife, portia de Rossi.
Reports earlier suggested thatthe couple made the move because
of Donald Trump's recent win atthe November 5th election.
However, it has now beenrevealed that Ellen DeGeneres
and Portia de Rossi's relocationis part of the former TV host's
(02:24):
retirement plan, as she settlesto live her life away from the
public eye after coming underfire for fostering a toxic work
environment.
Okay, right, bitch, all right,we believe it, let's continue.
According to the Daily Mail, theformer Ellen DeGeneres show
host's relocation to the UKwasn't just a response to the
outcome of the recently held USelection, but also her resolve
(02:45):
to retire her enduring TV career.
Bitch, you've made your wholefucking life controversial, and
I'm saying that out of love andrespect from one adult to
another, but you've made yourlife more difficult than it
needs to be.
And I'm not saying that becauseshe's a lesbian.
I'm saying it because thedecisions she has made
(03:05):
throughout her career haveeither gotten her love or
extreme hate, like when shedecided on her show Ellen back
in the early thousands she wasgonna have her character come
out as gay after executives toldher not to do that and her show
got canceled.
Nobody was ready to hear thatyet, and I understand you're
trying to be a pioneer for thatcommunity, but maybe people in
(03:28):
that community weren't ready forit yet.
You don't know that.
Anyway, reports let's see.
Reports previously suggested thecouple made the move because
Trump won the 2024 presidentialrace.
However, insiders told the newsoutlet that the couple already
planned to move before theelections for DeGeneres to kick
off her retirement.
Make no mistake about it thisis Ellen and Portia's retirement
(03:48):
.
Neither one of them have anyprojects lined up.
Well, portia DeRossi, the onlything she had going on was Ally
McBeal, and then she didArrested Development as well
after that.
And then what the fuck else hasshe been in?
Anyone want to tell me?
Portia D Rossi, dan, I knowyou're going to look it up.
Be cool and let me know later.
(04:11):
Ellen really felt that she hadmade her mark on the industry,
but that was diminished when shewas canceled over her alleged
treatment of her staff.
The source added Then, to havecelebrities call her out one by
one was so hurtful.
Look, if it happens, it happens.
No one wants to be the firstperson to be the whistleblower.
Nobody wants to be thewhistleblower.
Nobody wants to be that person.
Unless you're really strongenough to take on the backlash
of it.
The people who stood up againsther awesome big fans do it some
more, okay, because if there'speople like her running shit,
(04:38):
running TV shows and whatnot,put them in their place.
Everybody's afraid to put thesepeople in their place like
they're gods or some shit.
I'm a normal person, I'm acivilian.
Could I be a celebrity inanother lifetime?
Yes, people in my discord putme in my place all the time.
Me and Dan have enlightenedconversations all day long where
we can still shake on it and belike cool, none, neither one of
us runs away like, well, fuckthat guy, I'm never going to be
friends with him again becausewe're in our thirties.
This bitch is in like herfifties, sixties, whatever.
(05:00):
She'd been her hundreds for all.
I give a shit.
And she's acting like she's avictim of Hollywood.
Maybe she should have drankthat gold juice, like Taryn
Manning said, if you haven'theard that shit.
That shit's crazy, that chickshe.
I hope they have her in witnessprotection or something,
because people are going to comeafter her.
(05:20):
Anyway, another source sharedthat the way people's attitudes
towards genders change followingreports that she fostered a
racist and harsh workenvironment was enough to see
her leave the country.
But that was years ago.
You can't say that now.
This was years ago that thiscame out about you.
This wasn't yesterday.
Stop lying, bro.
(05:41):
It's about Trump.
It's about Trump.
It's about Trump.
It's about Trump, stop, ok, youcan't say it's about the
allegations made against youfrom years ago.
Okay, this happened, I think,probably when we came back from
COVID.
I'm gonna look it up, though,with all the ill will towards
her, she was looking to moveaway even before the election,
so she should have done it, soit didn't make it look like this
(06:02):
.
The source began and as thingspanned out, with Trump winning,
she's glad that she's making themove and going to be away from
the U?
S.
The source continued she hasthe one person that still loves
her Porsche, which doesn't evenlook like it from pictures I've
seen of them together, and she'sready to leave everyone who in
her mind left her hanging out todry.
If she considers it herretirement, so be it.
Nobody gives a fuck about EllenDeGeneres.
That's the funny part.
(06:23):
Have you ever seen her picturedout with anybody but Portia
Lately?
I should say Nobody gives ashit.
All these other celebrities areprobably in their house looking
at this article or looking atany news of Ellen moving and
going.
Oh, okay, at this point she'san acquaintance at best to
anybody who's making thoseBrazilians, okay, brazilians.
(06:47):
An enormous part of the USdoesn't like her because of her
sexual preferences and otherswere turned off by her persona,
which some perceive to be fakein the wake of the workplace
allegations.
Bruh, that second part, so true,because once the curtain's been
drawn, okay.
Once they pull back the curtainon her bullshit, uh, woe is me.
(07:07):
Let me cry on camera, bro.
You also went on to do stand-up.
That kind of was like fuckHollywood.
So which one is it?
Are you upset that Hollywoodleft you in the lurch or are you
upset because you can't makefriends anymore because of what
people believe about you now.
Is it fuck Hollywood or is itfuck Donald Trump?
(07:29):
Which one is it?
It's fuck Hollywood.
It's actually not even fuckHollywood.
It's like oh, hollywood left mebehind.
Trump won, yeah, that's thefinal straw.
Bruh Trump is a person, by theway.
That's like breaking up withsomeone and moving out of your
house.
That's not even near them.
That's what that is.
(07:49):
You're leaving the countrybecause a person won, and I just
love how everyone thinks thatthere's.
All these changes he's going tomake are going to undo
everything Joe Biden did, whichmaybe he doesn't have enough
time though you would need adecade at least to undo
everything that happened.
Not saying anything aboutanybody being a bad guy, but I'm
(08:10):
just saying Ellen moving to theUK is like her moving, like who
does she even know who's in theUK?
Or is that the point?
I think Johnny Depp lives inthe UK now, or is it Paris?
I don't know, but either way,these celebrities are just doing
what they want, and this is notnews.
This is there was a bad breakup.
(08:31):
This is what it feels like.
So it feels like the breakupwas between Ellen and Trump, ok,
and she had to move out oftheir house.
That's what that is.
And essentially we us, theneighbors, who are seeing this
shit firsthand are like oh, okay, she's moving, wow, and that's
it.
Move on with your fucking day.
(08:53):
Like, this girl's putting somuch drama to it.
It's insane.
Nobody hates her because of hersexual preferences.
At this point it's so in ourface.
I don't give a shit if you lovethe color purple and want to
fuck it or marry it.
If I'm being perfectly honest,I have a gay coworker who I love
to death.
Okay, he is the shit.
(09:15):
I love the entire gay communityand that's it.
I don't care about EllenDeGeneres' love life.
I'm pretty sure nobody elsecares about it either.
Like, she's been with Portiafor like from since the dawn of
time.
She hasn't been with anyoneelse that I've seen.
(09:36):
I think she was with Anne Hechefor like two seconds.
I think Anne Heche is deaf,right, or maybe that's the other
one I'm thinking of.
Anyway, I just love that Anenormous part of the US doesn't
like her because of her sexualpreferences.
No, bro, we don't like herbecause she's a shit ass person.
Okay, she's a shit ass person.
Sit ass person, cool.
Anyway.
(09:56):
The source added that DeGeneresfinds it easier to move away
from her problems than toconfront them, adding that the
whole incident seems like a sadend to what she once was in
people's minds.
Nobody cared about Ellen ever.
I didn't even think her comedywas that good.
She like quit doing stand-up todo a talk show.
You became very vanilla.
Why not just stay raunchy?
(10:17):
This would have been way coolerif you were still that raunchy
stand-up person that peopleliked.
Now you're just another assholethat's moving out of the country
anytime.
I see some shit about peoplemoving out of the country
because donald trump won.
I'm like good for you.
You have the money to do that.
But also, why have you studiedpolitics of any other country?
(10:38):
Do you know what your rightsare as a man or a woman, even as
a woman, in another country?
Is anyone doing research?
Are we just leaving?
To leave Like that makes nosense.
Oh, I'm a.
I'm a woman.
I'm a Hispanic woman.
I'm going to go live in Italy.
What are your rights as aHispanic woman in Italy?
If anything, I want to go toSwitzerland.
I want to go for that.
(10:58):
Four four day work week is whatI want.
Give me those 10-hour shifts,if not my weekend.
Give me that maternity leavethat lasts almost forever in a
day.
Make me happy, bruh.
Oh, I just wiped my nose likeI'm not wearing makeup, fuck.
Anyway, degeneres and Rossi hadand DeRossi, how stupid had
(11:20):
since acquired a home in theCotswolds area, a rural
community in southwest Englandthat sits 100 miles outside of
London.
What that makes me think of isthe holiday, because that's
where fucking Kate Winslet'shouse was.
Anyway, the couple isreportedly preparing to place
their Montecito mansion up forsale, which means they're
permanently calling it quits onAmerican life.
Their new home was reportedlypurchased months before the
(11:41):
election, with a source sharingthat they'd earlier traveled to
England to see the property andthat DeGeneres had fallen in
love with the property inCotswolds.
As long as Ellen does, ellenexcuse me, ellarin as long as
Ellen doesn't say two fuckingwords to anybody, she'll make it
, because then she'll be like ohmy God, the UK hates me also.
Yeah, because you're an asshole, you're the obnoxious person
(12:09):
they invite to dinner and neverinvite back.
You get like one chance to makefucking an impression on
somebody.
Somebody knows how you feelabout them within 10 seconds of
you talking.
Please do talk to some peoplein England.
Ellen, fucking Portia will befine because she's Australian.
She has some kind of accent.
You're an American.
We all sound like dicks to them.
Okay, we are walking dickheadsto them when we go to their
country.
Nobody likes the Americanaccent Nobody and if they do,
(12:33):
it's because they're trying tofuck you.
You know what I mean.
We have the most annoyingaccent there is.
I know, I do, I know, I do.
Let's see.
She has been on the lookout fora house in the area and often
visits her celebrity pals.
A Cotswolds house has become astatus symbol in the celebrity
world and Ellen wanted to jointhe pack.
Degeneres and DeRossi haveseemingly settled down in their
(12:54):
new neighborhood, as they werespotted visiting Clarkson's Pub
in the Cotswolds last week.
Their new home bo listneighbors like david and
victoria beckham, kate moss,patrick stewart, elizabeth
hurley, jeremy clarkson anddamian hurst.
Okay, I like this, this titleof this fucking and this piece
of the blog.
Whatever ellen degeneres said,she was kicked out of show
(13:16):
business following theallegations that she was toxic
to her staff.
Degeneres was seeminglycanceled, with her show
subsequently airing its lastepisode on May 26, 2022.
Do you see what I mean?
She's talking about howeverybody hates her.
Meanwhile, this shit washappening.
I'm telling you, right afterCOVID.
This became the thing becausesomeone was probably sick of her
shit and reported it to, leakedit to a news media and they ran
(13:38):
with it.
And good for them, because,also, fuck her, fuck her, she
does not need to.
She should have just stayed inher lane.
She went to be in a talk showand acted and wanted to act like
a bitch.
Then own up to your shit.
Own up to it.
Yes, I'm an asshole.
I'm a piece of shit.
You know how.
You know how you have to dothat so many times in a
(13:59):
relationship.
Just be accountable for shityou've done wrong.
I do it all the time lately andI'm so sick of it.
I'd rather just be how I was inthe 20s, which is fuck you,
you're wrong and this is why Ifeel this way, because you
provoked me and eat shit and diejust like that.
In that order, she talked abouther fall from grace on her stand
up Netflix special for yourapproval, where she joked about
(14:21):
getting kicked out of showbusiness for being mean, as well
as then becoming the most hatedperson in America.
The hate went on for a longtime and I would try to avoid
looking at the news.
The quote unquote be kind girlwasn't kind.
That was the headline.
Yeah, you're a dickhead.
Noting how she ended her talkshow each day by saying be kind
to one another.
Degenerate, degenerate joke.
(14:42):
That it became a problembecause people started to think
of her as a one dimensionalcharacter who gave stuff away
and danced up steps.
Yeah, pretty much.
She then spoke about how shewas able to go through the
trying phase with the help ofher wife and that they're both
dancing.
Now.
I'm making jokes about whathappened to me, but it was
devastating.
It took a long time for me towant to do anything again.
(15:05):
Okay, funniest thing.
The next article that comes upis Meghan Markle won't follow in
pal and Ellen DeGeneresfootsteps by moving to the UK.
But what about Prince Harry?
I like this one.
This.
This is going to be funny,let's see.
Last week, it emerged that thecomedian and the arrested
development alum packed up andmoved to England following
Donald Trump's election when,earlier this month, sources
close to the couple, who wed in08, said that they will likely
never return to the US on apermanent basis.
(15:26):
However, despite boasting avery close friendship with the
former Ellen show host, theSuits alum 43, will not be
looking to make a similar moveherself for the second time.
According to a former palacestaffer, megan's too much of an
American girl.
She doesn't want to be in theUK permanently.
I can see her coming over forthe holidays and having time
(15:47):
over here, but living herepermanently I just don't see it.
The same theory doesn't applyto Markle's husband.
What are they going to do?
In fact, the former palacestaffer believes the Duke of
Sussex will be making that moveeventually.
I do see it.
I think he could be open toreturning.
As I always keep saying, neversay never.
Post has reached out to Markle'sreps for comments, still after
being stripped of tax fundedprivate security following their
royal exit in 2020.
(16:07):
The Sussexes, and Markle inparticular, have made a
conscious effort to stay out ofthe UK.
Good for her.
They don't want to be under thethumb of that bullshit.
Out of the thumb of thatroyalty bullshit.
Let me see, bruh, what is youknow what?
I don't have time for that.
So then the next thing.
So I have to say man, I'mgetting so sick of like that.
(16:29):
Shit's not news, okay, ellenwanting to leave the country to
move someplace else?
That's not news.
The reason she's moving is fakeas fuck.
Just say you want to movebecause you got found out to be
a shitty person who, like theysaid, was one dimensional and
just danced up steps.
Her poor fucking guy Twitchdying was crazy, killing himself
(16:50):
probably from everything heknew about.
Ellen, don't you realize a lotof people who commit slewy slide
, they like to, they have themost secrets, and you find that
shit out after they pass away.
And yes, I said slewy slidebecause I don't want to talk
about it, I don't want to saythe other word Anyway.
So my other problem is lately,I've just noticed a lot of
(17:12):
things with technology.
Let's move ahead.
The latest thing that's oh, mygod, I wiped my nose again the
latest thing that's happenedwith technology is that you can
no longer just pick up shit instore anymore.
You either have to go to thestore itself or you have to
order for delivery.
Um, I don't want to do that,apple, I don't want to do that
AT&T.
What I want to do is be able toplace the order on my phone and
(17:34):
go pick it up.
For example, my Apple watch isdying Okay, more and more each
week, I feel.
So my shit is ready for anupgrade.
I have a Series 6.
Right now they're on Series 10and Ultra 2.
That's like six models outsideof what I had, and I've had this
watch for years and I said Iwas never going to upgrade it
(17:55):
until it needed to be upgraded.
I think we're at the pointwhere that's it.
So I'm at the point where Iwant to do it, but the way they
were wanting me to do it, Idon't want to do it, and I say
that with absolute love anddisgust at the same time.
But, at&t, just let me placethe order on the phone here and
go get it.
I don't want to just go inthere and be stuck talking to
(18:16):
y'all about it.
I know which one I want.
I had the conversation with arepresentative on Apple.
They told me series 10, 46millimeter.
I want the big screen, bruh.
Anyway, all I have to do is paytax on it, and I'm probably
going to get it next week, Ithink, because funds are running
(18:37):
a little dry and I have billsto pay.
But I just don't get it.
And I was talking to mycoworker, jamar, about this and
he said that T-Mobile used togive you Amazon prime for free
and now you have to add it, likeput it as an add on and I'm
like bruh, it's the same cost ofhaving it on its own.
Like that makes no sense.
I would rather just have itseparate.
Like what would be the fuckingdifference?
I have HBO, max, three, tnt,and I'm fine with that, because
(18:59):
I feel like they keep raisingthe price on it and as long as
my phone bill stays the same, weGucci, uh, oh, yeah.
So here we go.
So let's talk about friendships,relationships and all that shit
, because Dan wanted to get intoit last week.
He wanted to get into it lastweek when I was having a, when
he listened to the podcast lastThursday.
We were talking about this.
(19:20):
He listens to the podcast whileI'm sitting in discord with him
so that he can make comments ortext me about it and I'll be
like I have no idea what that is.
That's how quickly I forgetwhat I talk about.
That's why I always have towrite shit down.
I never understand what I, whatI was talking about, what I
want to talk about, what I meantto say, what I didn't say.
(19:41):
I don't remember.
I don't remember anything.
And it's not sad or anything,it's just I don't remember.
So the next part of my notes isentitled Dan, fuck you, which
he asked for.
So check this shit out.
(20:01):
He took five years away frombeing my friend or being a part
of my life, I guess, because Iwas too toxic of a person back
then.
And you see that, ellen, takethat as a note.
Ellen, you're too toxic aperson, I'm too toxic a person,
but you know what I do.
I live where I live and that'slife.
You live where you live.
(20:22):
So, basically, he took fiveyears away from me, I guess to
you know, have a life outside ofmine because I was toxic, I was
very you're my friend andthat's it kind of how dare you
try and have a life outside ofit?
Yes, I'm a bitch, whatever.
So I did all of that to him andhe was like, yeah, well, he kind
of ghosted for five years.
He didn't give an explanationas to why.
(20:44):
He just kind of dipped and Isent him a message.
I think I sent him one lastmessage like come on, I think
he's been long enough for somecrazy shit and uh, supposedly
that's begging him to be myfriend again as I go cross-eyed
reading this shit.
He said that he noticed it twoyears later, like he forgot his
password on Facebook or someshit.
Could you imagine?
I actually write my passwordsdown because I'm an old lady, so
(21:08):
if I ever clear cash andcookies, I have a whole thing of
notes of all my passwords foreverything For my movie
streaming shit, for my moviestreaming shit, for my game
streaming shit, everything.
Everything is up and running.
Okay, you're not going to tellme that I don't have my
passwords, because even aniPhone has an app called
Passwords Now, where everythingis.
(21:29):
But sometimes, though, thatshit fails because it doesn't
save it the way it should,because it doesn't save it the
way you should, anyway.
So we took a five-year hiatus,or he did.
He noticed it two years later.
He forgot his password, neversaw my message, and supposedly I
begged him to be my friend, andhere we are.
I don't even remember what thereturn message was.
(21:51):
I'm pretty sure I can't find itbecause, since we've been
friends, it's been another fiveyears, oh dope.
So he told me that his okay.
So this was the otherconversation we were having.
We were going to bet on whetheror not his daughter would be
able to withstand Moana too.
They went to go see it thismorning.
Cause I'm recording on aWednesday.
I'm not recording onThanksgiving, but I am putting
(22:12):
it out on Thanksgiving, um, ormaybe I'll just release the same
day.
Who gives a fuck?
Um, nah, I'm gonna release itThursday.
I have to have discipline,discipline, discipline.
Um, we were trying to figureout whether or not she'd be able
to withstand it.
I even Googled some shit as tolike decibels of movies and it
was kind of cool, the facts.
But, um, the decibels arereally loud.
(22:36):
Um, apparently he just textedme to let me know that she went
through like a rock star, whichis really cool because now he
could take her to other movies.
So that's dope for them.
I like that.
They went to go see moana too.
I don't remember if I said it.
See what I'm saying, I don'tremember shit.
Uh, yeah, so they went to gosee that movie and, uh, kicked
ass, kicked ass is what I heard.
(22:57):
Uh, saturday, my friend laurafrom new york came by.
We had such a good time.
She came, we sat on the couch,um, like we used to, and uh, I
was very, uh, very chill.
She came over.
I think I woke up like an hourbefore she got here, because she
said 12 o'clock, so I thoughtthat she was saying that she was
leaving at 12 o'clock, not whattime she was actually going to
(23:20):
get here, like I think I askedher ma'am what time and she said
12.
What does that mean?
12?
What Are you getting here at 12?
Which was the right was theright question to ask, because,
yes, she got here at 12.
She hung out with us all day.
I loved it.
(23:40):
Um, we sat on the couch, wetalked, we watched Deadpool
versus Wolverine, which she hadnot watched yet and uh, we had a
good time.
It was really good.
Um, the boyfriend was sellinghis cards in the other room.
He kept coming out, cause Iguess he misses being in the
same room with me, like in theold apartment where I used to
kind of just sit next to him,kind of like the couch and his
desk and shit were in the sameroom, so he would kind of just
be able to talk to me, eventhough he knows I can't fucking
(24:03):
hear him when I have headphoneson, which is so crazy to me.
The bucket drums on the fucking, the buckets on the side of my
head exclaim please talk to me.
Like you know, I listen to shitloud.
I have to stop rubbing my face.
I do plan on streaming today.
I think now that Dan has gottenout of the movies, it might be
easier.
I'm not sure I might play likeBioshock or something.
(24:26):
I was going to play somethingchill.
I should really just see ifthat's even downloaded.
If it isn't, I'm going to playthe other cozy game, but
downloads usually take like fiveseconds on my computer.
But downloads usually take likefive seconds on my computer.
So Laura came over and we hungout on the couch, we watched TV
and then we went to go eat.
We went to this place calledJohnny's Filling Station, which
(24:48):
was really good.
I had a Cuban which I hadn'thad in forever.
She had a Philly cheesesteakand Stephen had a black and blue
burger.
Um so good, curly fries arealways, always a hit for me.
And uh, we ate, we, uh, we gotstuck in stupid traffic because
you know, florida just likes tochange the highways around and
(25:10):
shit.
So when you think you're goingleft on a highway to get on the
highway, it's actually hey, hey,stay to the right to go east,
and we're like what the fuck?
Then, of course, we try andfigure out what's going on and
why there's such an event, andthen we're like oh yeah, it's a
fucking Saturday, saturday nightand Orlando Magic was playing.
Bruh, that's what.
Shut everything down.
(25:30):
A shitty ass basketball teamshut everything down on a
Saturday.
The people trying to get peoplein parking lots just insane to
me.
Bruh, just don't ever godowntown on a Saturday night and
think you're getting in and outof there quickly around dinner
time, because I don't know whogave these guys license to
fucking manage traffic during anevent.
(25:50):
But take it back.
Take back the authority thatyou were given to do this shit.
Anyway, that food was good.
Hanging out with her is alwaysgood.
She said she's going to revokemy Spanish card because I don't
have rice in my house anymore.
I'm too busy during the week.
I don't want to spend two hoursin the kitchen on top of, you
know, having to go throughtraffic and all that shit.
(26:12):
The only time I actually makefood that's on and popping with
crazy amount of effort is on theweekends.
Like I don't want to.
I don't want to do it.
I don't want to be bothered.
Bruh, during the week I do myminute rice.
I put it in a bowl, I put somekind of protein with it, some
seasonings, whatever, and that'sit.
I'm trying to eat better.
Also, I can't be making crazyshit like that anymore.
(26:33):
I need to just be chill.
I need to be chill.
In any case, she don't get it.
She's like I'm going to revokeyour Spanish card.
I was like I don't even have afucking bag of rice in here,
like usually.
You have like a five pound bagof rice that you just scoop from
and just throw it.
No, I don't even have thatanymore.
I do want to get more organizedwith my shit, though, because I
hate pests, and it's been agood two weeks.
(26:55):
Knock on wood.
I heard that knock.
That's my desk.
Knock on wood that I don't haveany more issues.
Lord, baby Jesus, stop givingme trauma.
I know I can handle it, I justdon't want to.
I'm in the season of lazinesswe are.
We're about to be in fall,where, you know, seasonal affect
(27:17):
disorder is having it and it'scoming up.
Man, it's coming up.
Oh, my God.
Speaking of, I forgot to takeall my medication this morning.
That's cool.
I'm gonna take it after this,though.
That's cool as fuck.
Anyway, speaking of medication,um, I've had like the worst
headache and it's because ofallergies.
Okay, so I know that I'msupposed to be taking allergy
medication every day because Ihave a problem.
So when I get sinus headachesthey're really bad and I fuck
(27:49):
man, I keep forgetting shit inthe middle of a sentence.
I know that I should be takingthat shit every day If not gonna
have bad days.
I have had several bad allergydays.
I think my desk is crookedSorry, I'm looking at the wrong
shit.
I've had bad allergy days whereI just want to put my head down
and I cry a little bit becausethat's how bad the pressure is.
Like.
Right now I feel it behind myleft eye.
So I'm headed to headache landand, uh, I have to ask.
(28:14):
Because I was taking Tylenolbefore I finally you know,
fucking ordered myself meds.
I, uh, what you call it I wastaking Tylenol and I was
thinking to myself I'm like why,why are they making the coating
of pills sweet?
It's not fucking candy.
We all know why we're takingthis shit.
(28:35):
Like I was taking generictylenol and it had that red
coating on it and it was likesweet and I'm like, can you
please not?
Um, please, stop giving mesugar pills.
Is what it feels like?
I'm not eating sugar pills.
Stop giving it to me.
And anyway, I was tasting it,and that's that's my thought.
(28:56):
I'm like this shit isn't working.
My brain is just thinking it'sworking like a placebo.
Stop it, I want the shit thatactually works.
I don't want to deal withanything else.
Sorry, I need to drink stuff.
My throat's getting dry.
It's not candy.
Tylenol is not candy.
Tylenol is not candy.
Ibuprofen is not candy.
Advil is not candy.
When I was younger, though, Idid think it was candy, because
(29:18):
Advil was covered, had like abrown coating to it, and I was
like, ooh, m&ms, but for pain,all right, I can deal with it.
And then, growing up, yourealize that there's the
different pills do differentthings.
So Advil doesn't do the samething as Excedrin or ibuprofen.
(29:39):
It can, but you might need ahigher dose, which could lead to
death in most cases.
Isn't that funny?
The regular shit that we relyon can kill us if we take too
much of it, because the liverand kidneys are just like up too
much overdosed.
Overdosed on ibuprofen.
That period cramps going tohave to wait.
Bitch, we're taking over yourbody and killing you.
That period cramps gonna haveto wait.
Bitch, we're taking over yourbody and killing you.
That's what that message is.
(30:00):
Actually, there was a guy whowas putting poison in Excedrin.
I'm gonna look that shit up,hold up.
This was years ago, though thisisn't new, so calm down.
Excedrin poisoning here it is,let's see.
No, that's not it.
Here it is, let's see.
(30:22):
Nope, that's not.
It Is that it 1988.
Well, this is one.
So let's see.
Stella Nickel this was in 1988.
Stella Nickel is convicted ontwo counts of murder by a
Seattle Washington jury.
She was the first person to befound guilty of violating the
Federal Anti-Tampering Act afterputting cyanide in excedrin
capsules in an effort to killher husband.
That's crazy.
And they say that that shitsmells like peanuts and not many
(30:43):
people are able to smell it.
Stella and bruce nickel marriedin 1976, shortly before seven
people were killed in chicago,chicago, illinois.
Okay, so this is it chicago,illinois from poison, tylenol
pills.
According to Stella's daughterfrom a previous marriage, stella
had begun planning Bruce'smurder almost from the honeymoon
.
The Chicago Tylenol incident,which was never solved, had a
(31:04):
lasting impact on Stella, whodecided that cyanide would be a
good method of murder.
Hold up, I'm going to read thatother one too.
Actually, let's read that onefirst 1982.
Okay, so this.
Read that one first 1982.
Okay, so this is eight years.
Cyanide-laced Tylenol killsfirst three of seven victims.
On September 29, 1982, threeChicago-area residents became
(31:25):
ill and die after ingestingextra-strength Tylenol, later
found to be poisoned withcyanide.
They are the first of sevenvictims to lose their lives
after taking theover-the-counter pain reliever
which had been tampered with.
Seven victims to lose theirlives after taking the
over-the-counter pain relieverwhich had been tampered with.
The case would create anational panic over the safety
of non-prescription medicationsand lead to new standards for
pill packaging.
Okay, so it led to somethinggood.
Seventh grader MarianneKellerman was the first to die
(31:48):
after taking the medicineovernight to combat a sore
throat.
After the next victim, adamJanus fuck me.
Man with the name didn't wakeup, or is it Janus?
I don't know, bruh, it's J,with anus attached to it.
Sad, don't disrespect the dead,but come on with the name.
Didn't wake up from a nap.
He ended up in the emergencyroom in critical condition and
(32:08):
later died.
After visiting his olderbrother in the hospital Stanley
what's his name?
Man Stanley Janus, I'm justgoing to say went back to Adam's
house with his wife Teresa toalleviate their stress-induced
headaches.
They both took capsules fromthe open Tylenol bottle that was
sitting on the counter.
They too were poisoned.
Stanley died that day andTeresa the next after lapsing
into a coma.
Other victims included MaryReiner, who had a headache after
(32:31):
giving birth, 31-year-old MaryMcFarland and flight attendant
Paula Prince.
After Prince's death, richardKeyworth and Philip Capitelli
firefighters in the Windy Cityrealized that all seven victims
had ingested extra-strengthTylenol prior to becoming ill.
Further investigation revealedthat several bottles of the
Tylenol capsules had beenpoisoned with cyanide.
While bottles of extra-strengthTylenol were recalled
(32:51):
nationwide, the onlycontaminated capsules were found
in the Chicago area.
A possible culprit wasidentified when investigators
discovered letters demanding amillion dollars to stop the
killings, but a lack of evidenceprevented a conviction.
The mass murder did, however,lead to new tamper-proof
medicine containers.
It also led to a string ofcopycat crimes, as others sought
to blackmail companies withalleged poisoning schemes, most
(33:13):
of which proved to be falsealarms.
That's crazy, so that neverwent solved.
So this one, though, is good.
We'll go back to the Stella one.
In 1985, stella took out a lifeinsurance policy on Bruce that
included a substantial indemnitypayment for accidental death.
A year later, stella putcyanide in an Excedrin capsule
that Bruce later took for aheadache.
He died in the hospital, butdoctors did not detect the
(33:34):
cyanide and ascribe the death toemphysema.
Stella, who stood to lose ahundred thousand if his death
wasn't ruled an accident,decided to alter her plan.
Wow, bruh, she tampered withfive additional bottles of
Excedrin and placed them onstore shelves in the Seattle
area.
Six days later, susan Snow tookone of these capsules and died.
Instantly After her death wasreported in the news, stella
called the police to tell themthat she thought her husband had
(33:55):
also been poisoned.
Wow, bro, that's crazy.
When investigators came toNichols' home to pick up the
Excedrin bottle, she told themthat there were two bottles and
that she had purchased them ondifferent days at different
places.
When both turned out to containcontaminated capsules,
investigators grew suspicious.
(34:40):
No-transcript, that's crazy asfuck.
Could you imagine?
Oh, it wasn't ruled anaccidental death.
Actually, I'm going to bookmarkthe History Channel.
We, we're gonna do some shit.
We're gonna incorporate thatshit, the Unbelievable with Dan
(35:02):
Aykroyd.
You know I'm a bookmark thatsite, though I'm gonna need some
shit to talk about.
And that was crazy.
Could you imagine, hey, so itdoesn't look like it's gonna be
an accidental death, so youabsolutely get nothing.
And she goes.
But wait a second, gonna be anaccidental death.
So you absolutely get nothingand she goes.
But wait a second, that otherperson got poisoned too.
Could you imagine?
Oh my god, why would you callthe police and say that shit,
(35:23):
just let them investigate it ontheir own, you greedy bitch.
Also, 100k is like nothing now,but 100k might have been like a
million back in fucking 1985?
I don't remember, my memory'sfailing me.
Thank you so much for thesejeans.
So, oh man, there was somethingelse that I was talking about
(35:45):
with Dan that I forgot.
Anyway, that's crazy.
Why would you poison yourhusband like that, you stupid
bitch?
If you don't want to marry him,don't marry him.
This is what I'm saying.
Like, there's certain things inrelationships, like, if you know
, how long does it take you torealize that you don't want to
be with someone?
Like it took her how many years?
(36:07):
Three, eight, I don't rememberthe year.
Now, damn it, hold up.
I'm looking.
I'm looking because that'sfucked up.
My memory is fucked up.
No bitch, go back 1988.
Okay, so she was with this guy.
What?
How many years?
Oh my God, she was with him 12years.
Oh, you stupid ass.
(36:28):
So it took her 12 years todecide she wanted to kill him.
That's insane, bro.
You should know right off thebat whether or not you want to
date somebody and just getdivorced.
Just get divorced Because asmuch as you could have probably
gotten away with that back inthat time, you're not doing it
now Only because technologyexists.
(36:48):
Like, just get divorced, dowhat normal people do and just
part ways amicably or notamicably and get your money.
Get your money, sis.
Stop murdering people who getmoney.
It doesn't work that way.
What do you think you're in amovie?
You're not slick enough forthat, especially because you
didn't think about, you know,tampering with other shit first.
(37:10):
Do that first and wear gloves.
They were fingerprinting backthen.
The only thing they weren'tdoing was probably DNA, or were
they?
No, they might have starteddoing DNA, like later on, or
maybe they just you know, I mean, who cares?
I'm getting caught up infucking details, anyway.
(37:34):
So, going back to what I saidlast time about abbreviations, I
figured out what I see.
Why am?
I means and I can't believe I'm35 and just figuring that out I
was looking at something atwork yesterday on my laptop and
I was looking at something thatthey posted in one of the chats.
(37:55):
It's really informational.
It lets us know about updatesand stuff.
And, um, yeah, I know, myfucking box was delivered.
You scared the shit out of mewhen you dropped it.
Sorry, my hello, fresh boxeshere.
Um, so I was looking atsomething in my work.
Chat, it said I see him, I seewhy am I?
And then had a title to it andI was like, oh, okay.
Chat, it said, I see why am I.
And then it had a title to itand I was like, oh, okay, cool.
(38:18):
So let me see if I can figurethis out, because we've been
trying to figure out theseabbreviations forever.
So I looked and I was like, oh,okay, that's what that fucking
means.
It's.
In case you missed it.
In case you missed it, in caseyou missed it, I've never been
(38:40):
more annoyed in my life at anabbreviation Like what happened
to FYI?
Why are we doing this with somany letters?
What's going on?
Hey, fyi, da-da-da-da-da-da-da,put the agenda underneath it.
We got.
In case you missed it, I see,why am I, this is what we talked
about and it's just annoying.
(39:02):
I'm like, okay, bitch, what didI miss?
And then it's like someunimportant shit that I did not
miss, like yesterday, love myjob, excuse me, had to put
Japsicle on.
Love my job.
But let me tell you somethingI'm still in training.
I'm still not even sure whatI'm going to be doing once I get
to reporting, like once I getinto the role, like I'm in the
(39:28):
role now, but what I'm saying isin a more official capacity
rather than just sitting herelike a blob on a log and I just
uh, I'm trying to figure outwhat I'm supposed to be doing
and right now nobody has anyidea.
I'm given a lot of self studystuff and I'm just I'm watching
and rewatching and attendingcalls.
If they assign me something todo on my agenda, I'm in there
like swimwear.
I'm attending everything theytell me to.
(39:50):
But I sat in on somethingyesterday that was like an hour
and a half.
But I sat in on somethingyesterday that was like an hour
and a half.
And you know I want to be active, I want to show enthusiasm and
stuff, but I have no idea whatI'm doing.
I have no idea what I'm doing.
I have no idea what I'm talkingabout and uh, it's just crazy
Cause I'm like they have mesitting in on this and while I
love being welcomed warmly to ateam, I don't know what any of
(40:13):
this means.
I don't know what any of thisis and you're just making me
more confused, which, again, I'mokay with.
It's fine, I'll figure it outlater on.
I'm sure later on, whateverthey showed me yesterday is
going to be like ah, when I getto that, like ah, okay.
Like yeah, okay, that makessense, I'll apply that here.
(40:35):
But I don't get it Like.
I'm not trying to let me tellyou something.
I'm not trying to bad mouth or,you know, downplay anything.
Again, really excited to be inmy new role.
I've been in it for liketomorrow makes date-wise, makes
a month.
This past Monday makes fourweeks, I believe, or next Monday
, I don't remember.
I makes four weeks, I believe,or next Monday, I don't remember
(41:02):
.
I can't believe we're going tobe in December next week.
Anybody else confused by thiscalendar?
I'm confused by the fact thatwe're already ending 2024.
Does anybody else not like,even like, odd number years
either?
I feel like 2025 is going to beso odd, but I am going to be an
even year to age 36, which isso fucking frightening.
I don't like this idea ofgetting old anymore.
When I was younger, you knowhow.
(41:23):
When you're younger.
You want to be older.
I'm just not feeling it.
I think I'm just scared to beolder because I feel like I
should be more responsible andI'm not where I think I should
be, which is obviously negativethinking, and I've said this
before.
But I can't help but stop andwonder if I just pursued things
earlier or actually went forstuff that I wanted to go for,
(41:43):
would my life be different?
And I'm kind of okay with thatanswer being yes, but I'm kind
of okay with my life where it is.
It's just career wise anddegree wise.
I would like to be using mydegree, and it's just really
hard to do that.
I don't really support peoplegoing to college unless they
(42:07):
know what they actually want todo, and it's a field that they
can actually get into.
My sister is going for um.
She's doing like coding andshit, and I think she's going to
be really good at that, becauseI think she's more, she's less.
She doesn't like people.
If I'm I'm just going to say itlike that plainly she doesn't
(42:27):
like people, but what she doeson her own, she's very talented
in schoolwork, so her being likea data analyst or anything like
that, she's going to be reallygood at it.
She might not be great with thepeople portion of it, which is,
you know, you can't be good ateverything.
She's going to be good at that,and I'm really proud of her.
(42:50):
My sister I don't know whatBeats is doing.
I don't know what Beats isdoing.
I know what Dee is doing.
Beats, I have no idea.
I talk to her every so oftenbut, bro, I don't care.
The fucking HelloFresh texted meagain like hey, how would you
approve your order?
How would you rate your order?
Bitch, my food's here.
I rated it five.
(43:10):
It got here.
It got to the right door.
You guys are great.
I don't know about the $60 amonth, though.
I mean $60 a week.
I think I have to skip thisweek, though, because it's too
much food now and I have food inthe freezer I need to make, so
I might skip this this comingweek.
Um, it's really good, though.
We had uh, I'm I'm changinglanes cause I don't care about
(43:30):
that school stuff anymore.
I am, uh I'm very impressedwith their menu.
I didn't think that it wasgoing to be good because of the
seasoning, like the least.
I feel like I might beover-seasoning my shit at this
point.
It's making me observant ofthings.
But we had some panko crusted,spicy Buffalo chicken thing.
Oh my God, bruh Almost died ofdeliciousness, cause of death.
(43:52):
Deliciousness, that's what it'sgoing to be.
I'm like, oh my Lord, this wasso good.
And then, of course, theboyfriend eats it up Like
someone's going to steal it fromhim.
Obviously, I give him thebigger cutlet, but it was just
so.
The way they have you do shitis very simple, very easy, and
in half an hour you're eatingfood and I'm like, bro, my shit
feels like it takes too long,bro.
(44:15):
So, the Buffalo chicken thingactually I cooked last Friday
and I worked out Friday, whichis weird for me because I am the
laziest piece of garbage thereis on Fridays.
So Friday I cooked and it waslike a um, creamy, um, like
creamy beef and beef cavatappithing.
It was good.
(44:35):
Um, creamy, cheesy beefcavatappi.
It was like ground beefcavatappi thing.
It was good.
Creamy cheesy beef cavatappi,it was like ground beef
cavatappi and like Parmesaneverywhere.
It was so good, it was reallygood.
This was good.
The chicken was better, thechicken was really good.
I cooked.
What did I cook on a Monday,today's Wednesday?
Yeah, monday, sorry, I had tothink about it in my head.
Monday I cooked that chickenthing and it was so good.
(44:58):
And I think I've gotten to thepoint where I'm such a cleaner
that I'm cleaning while I cookso that towards the end of it I
don't have anything left in myfucking sink.
So that makes me happy aboutthat.
And that chicken was so good andI just got my box that came
this week.
Let's see what we got this weekfor this box.
I'm going to look at my appreal quick.
(45:18):
I am going to skip next weekfor sure.
The week after I can definitelydo because I get paid.
So let's see Delivered.
So I got Mushu Pork Bowls.
I got Tortilla Melts, so onepan cheesy beef tortilla melts
and then I got the marry mechicken penne.
So that's going to be good.
Um, yeah, I don't think.
(45:41):
Yeah, I'm not going to havethat.
I'm going to have to skip thatweek or I'm going to have to
push it.
Uh, edit, delivery the wow, thecrispy chicken, cayenne chicken
cutlets they're giving it to meagain, bro.
So good, firecracker meatballsand pork sausage.
Rigatoni Rosa.
Ooh, creamy lemon butterchicken with couscous.
What's up?
Sorry, this menu gets me sofucked up.
(46:02):
It's going to be so good theygot me for some reason I don't
know why, but they actuallytheir menu's gotten a lot better
.
Not that it was bad before,it's just I actually have
someone who wants to eat thisfood with me.
It's saving us money on buyingshit.
We don't need to buy food asmuch because we order takeout a
(46:24):
lot because I get lazy andsometimes I don't want to cook.
Bruh, I don't know what it is,but, like you know, that job was
taking it out of me up untilnow.
Now I feel good, now I feelprepared.
I feel uh, prepared is theright word, prepared is the
right word.
I feel prepared and I feel likeI have more time mentally to do
things.
You know I'm I'm more availablementally to take on other shit
(46:49):
after work.
When I was in upmarket, um, allI did not only complain on here
but rant on here, which maybemade some of you guys laugh.
Maybe you guys were sick of it.
Always had a new story, thoughit was never the same shit,
maybe the same people involved.
But now I can talk about shit Iwant to talk about because I
don't have to use my brain asmuch.
Ok, and I'm trying to.
(47:11):
Like I said, I'm trying to getback into being consistent and
so far, so good.
Every time I see something, Itake notes because I know you
guys want to hear about it ormaybe don't Up to you, but I'm
really glad to be able to sharethis time with you guys.
It makes me feel a lot better.
It's like a virtual journal forme, because sometimes writing
can cramp a bitch's hand up.
Okay, and I don't really wantto be writing in a journal
(47:33):
anymore because I've had badexperiences with people going
through my shit.
And if I want people to knowshit, here you go, you can have
this, you can listen to this,that's it.
Just listen to this thing andit tells you all you need to
know about my day, how I feltabout it, who was involved, et
cetera, et cetera, and that's it.
(47:56):
Damn, my phone screen turnedoff on me.
Let me chew in.
Look at me in a minute.
Hold on, stop Not using my face, okay.
So Thanksgiving traditions we'regoing to try and round this out
.
I hope you guys have some goodones.
We are breaking tradition thisyear by going to a restaurant.
My mom's had enough of cooking.
I've never been to a restauranton Thanksgiving.
(48:16):
I don't believe or don't recallMaybe as a baby I might have,
but anything involving my memory, however old I am three and up,
whatever that is, if that is itI don't recall ever having gone
to a restaurant, I've gone tosomebody's house or I've been
home.
So the year before I left uh,the Thanksgiving before I left
(48:38):
to Florida, I spent it with mygirl, alicia, at her house.
I was dating the worst kind ofperson there was at the time Uh,
really toxic, narcissisticGemini.
I guess we're all like that atsome point, but he was the worst
.
He used to blame everything onme, which is why I left.
So more of the story is don'tdate someone like that.
(48:59):
So I had told him like, hey,alicia is going to cook, why
don't we go over there?
So we spare the kitchen and anycleanup and whatever, because I
know how that's going to go.
We're going to invite peopleover to your house, it's going
to be a thing, and the peopleleft cleaning are going to be
you and I.
So he didn't want to go.
So I said all right, so I'mgoing to go.
Um, his friends came over.
(49:20):
I know it's not ideal to notspend Thanksgiving with your
significant other, but it wasvery stressed at that point.
It was very our relationshipwas very strained.
So I was just going to do whatI was going to do, regardless,
because I don't want to clean.
On fucking Thanksgiving, theThanksgiving before that, I
(49:42):
think, I spent it with my uncle.
Yes, so I spent theThanksgiving before that with my
aunt and uncle and mygrandmother at her apartment in
Bay Ridge.
I drove over there.
I was spending the weekend withmy aunt and uncle after that.
So that was the plan that wasalready established before he
and I started dating that I wasgoing to spend Thanksgiving with
(50:02):
them and I was spendingChristmas with my family, who'd
already been in Florida.
So my Thanksgiving and myChristmas were already planned.
My New Year's I spent with theboyfriend at the time.
So the following Thanksgiving,which is Thanksgiving before I
left, I spent it with Alicia,which was Alicia and her
daughters, which was way morefun.
(50:23):
We talked a lot of shit, we hada lot of fun, we drank a little
bit and I just didn't want togo home.
I came home and there werestill some people.
Mind you, I was living with himbecause we were supposed to
move to Florida and he changedhis mind and I got fucking stuck
because COVID.
So I gave up my nice studioapartment to move into this
(50:44):
house.
That seemed like a frat housebecause it was his stepmother's
house and he had a roommate,okay, so I was confined to a
bedroom for most of COVID, andthat's not me.
I need my space, I need akitchen, I need a space to the
bathroom.
I need to not be tiptoeingaround people.
I need my space, which I nowhave.
(51:05):
I uh.
I came home.
His straggler friends were stillaround.
Um, I was like, hey, how's itgoing?
Then, of course, you know, Iwent upstairs to relax and he
left everything a fucking messthat night.
And then the next day I woke upand he's like banging around,
(51:25):
all pissed off and shit, and I'mplaying video games because I
told his ass to just come withme so we didn't have to be
cleaning up.
So he got pissed off and he waslike is anyone going to fucking
help me clean?
And I was like you know what?
I'm not going to help you clean, because I told you about this
and you said, no, it would befine.
Why didn't you have yourfucking friends help you clean
(51:45):
up?
You just let them leave withouthelping you.
So this is you, this is all you.
If I planned something and youtold me not to do it and that we
had plans to do something elseto make our lives easier, I
would have listened to you,because I know you're not going
to help me clean up because thiswas my idea.
So why am I going to go out ofmy way to help you when I gave
(52:08):
you a suggestion that could haveprevented all of this?
We even could have had yourstupid busty ass friends dusty
ass friends, excuse me, bustyfriends.
He has one busty friend.
She had big cats your dustyfriends over to my friend's
house and we could have justchilled there.
It was always a problem, butanyway.
So my Thanksgiving was spentwith Alicia, and on my Christmas
(52:30):
I spent with my family down infucking Florida.
So I never spent a Christmas orThanksgiving with him, because
thankfully, that's what I'mthankful for Not having negative
energy like that around me.
On Thanksgiving and the yearbefore that, I made Thanksgiving
lunch, which was shrimp andpasta.
So for Thanksgiving, before Idrove to my grandmother's, I
(52:53):
cooked people food early in theday so that we could at least
have lunch together, and then Itook a two and a half hour drive
well, two hour drive to mygrandmother's in Brooklyn, where
I then spent dinner with them.
So not only did I try and do agood thing, but he worked at
Best Buy at the time, so thatmeant he was going into work
later.
So what was I supposed to do?
(53:14):
Spend Thanksgiving all day withhim and then just be left alone
at night to do nothing?
No, I'm going to spend it withmy family that I made this plan
with earlier that year, beforewe even started dating.
How about that?
How about that?
So, in any case, we're breakingtradition this year and we're
going to a restaurant.
I was talking to my formermanager yesterday about this and
(53:36):
I said I've never been to arestaurant on Thanksgiving and I
hope it goes well.
Um, I don't even know whattheir menu is going to look like
, or how it's catered toThanksgiving, or if it's just
going to be steak, steak hits,steak hits every time.
Um, brandon's like Brandon's,my manager.
He was like you have to let meknow how that goes.
Um, that homie is off today too.
(54:00):
I took off today and Friday Idid this.
I don't even know when.
To be honest with you, I reallydo not know, but I was looking
at it and I was like when did Irequest off for this?
Because I was just lookingaround in Genesis because I
didn't know how to request timeoff for this position.
It's new to me, but theyactually use the fucking time
off function in our, in our app,which I'm like, wow, make my
(54:20):
life so easy.
But yeah, so everything's a loteasier.
Everything's going a lot moresmoothly.
I'm hoping everything is greatgoing into 2025.
We'll have more time betweennow and then.
It's going to be weeklyepisodes again 2025.
We'll have more time betweennow and then.
It's going to be weeklyepisodes again, like it has been
.
Thankfully, I'm thankful forthat.
I'm thankful to get back intomy routines.
I'm thankful to have clearerframe of mind.
(54:48):
I'm thankful for my friends, mypeople who listen, thankful for
anybody who's listening.
These days it's less and less.
Tell your friends about this,shit, shit.
Okay, let's move this along.
Um, I'm getting ready to streamon twitch soon, if you feel
like it.
Um, my links should be in thefucking episode bios.
I have to start including thoseagain because for some reason,
it's not there.
So, um, going live soon.
(55:11):
Uh, hope to see you guys.
I hope, hope you guys get anice mouth of turkey or pork, or
like pernil as they say.
White people say it.
I say pernil or ham, whateveryou guys fucking hang around
with, don't know.
Tofurky people can go eat shit.
I'm not doing turkey in theshape of tofu, like I'm not
(55:34):
doing tofu in the shape of aturkey, excuse me, fuck tofurkey
, fuck, um.
What was the chicken inside ofa turkey?
Stop stuffing turkeys withother other poultry.
It's unnecessary.
You're like assaulting a turkeywith another fucking dead
animal.
Okay, stop, just have theturkey gluttons.
(55:54):
Probably doesn't even tastegood either.
Oh, anyone who's eating chickenfor Thanksgiving, good for you.
Save the turkeys, whatever.
No tofurkey, though.
You can, like I said, fuckinggo play in traffic.
Anyways, don't actually go playin traffic, but just fuck off,
okay, all right.
Well, I love you guys.
This has been amazing Thankfulfor you guys, and has been
amazing, uh, thankful for youguys, and I hope you have a
(56:16):
wonderful holiday.
I will let you know how thatgoes.
I might have a little specialin between.
Uh, this episode and the next,I'm going to see if I can record
each of my family memberssaying what they're thankful for
.
Hopefully my grandmotherdoesn't say anything crazy, but,
um, yeah, I think it should begood.
So I'm just going to havepeople pass around the
microphone and say what they'rethankful for.
We're going to do it at home,though, so that there isn't any
(56:38):
noise, and I'll be able to postit, I think, either tomorrow or
I'll post it Friday, and then,you know, you guys can compare
notes Should be a good time.
Love you guys.
Thank you so much for listeningand, again, enjoy your upcoming
holiday.
I hope it's a blast.
Enjoy the weather.
Enjoy the weather, enjoy fall.
Go play outside in some leaves.
Thank you guys for listening.
(56:59):
Y'all are great.
Outro Music.
What's up everybody?
We are back with anotherepisode of Coco Off the Grid.
Hey, it's going to be what it'sgoing to be, right?
In any case, I got the niceminty, fresh breath for y'all.
I have not eaten yet, sorry, Isee more chair movement.
I hate this fucking chair.
Anyway, we're going to cover alittle bit of stuff today.
I don't know that we're goingto make it to the full hour, but
(00:56):
I'm going to do my best.
Hopefully my chair has settlednow so we can just be fucking
cool and be friends and just nothave this problem.
Probably not, though it'sprobably going to give me
another issue.
My mouse looks like it wants todie on me, which is fine, but
also it's going to have to chillfor a minute because I still
need to fucking do this show.
Right, I haven't had my coffeeor bagel yet, so we'll see how
(01:19):
this goes, all right.
So the first thing I want totalk about is who the fuck cares
that ellen's moving to englandor the uk, whatever you want to
call it.
Who really cares about that?
Um, I'm gonna google it andwe're gonna read, because this
is outrageous that this is evenconsidered news ellen moving,
(01:42):
let's see.
I like how there's a gif.
Who cares?
That's so fucking funny.
All right, let's see Yahoocom.
They always have good stuff.
Sorry, I was laughing at adifferent article that said that
Meghan Markle's not followingher.
So let's see.
It says Ellen DeGeneres moved tothe UK as reportedly for
retirement after being kickedout of Hollywood.
(02:04):
I'm pretty sure she wasn'tkicked out.
I'm pretty sure she did that toherself.
It's no longer news that EllenDeGeneres is relocated to the UK
with her wife, portia de Rossi.
Reports earlier suggested thatthe couple made the move because
of Donald Trump's recent win atthe November 5th election.
However, it has now beenrevealed that Ellen DeGeneres
and Portia de Rossi's relocationis part of the former TV host's
(02:24):
retirement plan, as she settlesto live her life away from the
public eye after coming underfire for fostering a toxic work
environment.
Okay, right, bitch, all right,we believe it, let's continue.
According to the Daily Mail, theformer Ellen DeGeneres show
host's relocation to the UKwasn't just a response to the
outcome of the recently held USelection, but also her resolve
(02:45):
to retire her enduring TV career.
Bitch, you've made your wholefucking life controversial, and
I'm saying that out of love andrespect from one adult to
another, but you've made yourlife more difficult than it
needs to be.
And I'm not saying that becauseshe's a lesbian.
I'm saying it because thedecisions she has made
(03:05):
throughout her career haveeither gotten her love or
extreme hate, like when shedecided on her show Ellen back
in the early thousands she wasgonna have her character come
out as gay after executives toldher not to do that and her show
got canceled.
Nobody was ready to hear thatyet, and I understand you're
trying to be a pioneer for thatcommunity, but maybe people in
(03:28):
that community weren't ready forit yet.
You don't know that.
Anyway, reports let's see.
Reports previously suggested thecouple made the move because
Trump won the 2024 presidentialrace.
However, insiders told the newsoutlet that the couple already
planned to move before theelections for DeGeneres to kick
off her retirement.
Make no mistake about it thisis Ellen and Portia's retirement
(03:48):
.
Neither one of them have anyprojects lined up.
Well, portia DeRossi, the onlything she had going on was Ally
McBeal, and then she didArrested Development as well
after that.
And then what the fuck else hasshe been in?
Anyone want to tell me?
Portia D Rossi, dan, I knowyou're going to look it up.
Be cool and let me know later.
(04:11):
Ellen really felt that she hadmade her mark on the industry,
but that was diminished when shewas canceled over her alleged
treatment of her staff.
The source added Then, to havecelebrities call her out one by
one was so hurtful.
Look, if it happens, it happens.
No one wants to be the firstperson to be the whistleblower.
Nobody wants to be thewhistleblower.
Nobody wants to be that person.
Unless you're really strongenough to take on the backlash
of it.
The people who stood up againsther awesome big fans do it some
more, okay, because if there'speople like her running shit,
(04:38):
running TV shows and whatnot,put them in their place.
Everybody's afraid to put thesepeople in their place like
they're gods or some shit.
I'm a normal person, I'm acivilian.
Could I be a celebrity inanother lifetime?
Yes, people in my discord putme in my place all the time.
Me and Dan have enlightenedconversations all day long where
we can still shake on it and belike cool, none, neither one of
us runs away like, well, fuckthat guy, I'm never going to be
friends with him again becausewe're in our thirties.
This bitch is in like herfifties, sixties, whatever.
(05:00):
She'd been her hundreds for all.
I give a shit.
And she's acting like she's avictim of Hollywood.
Maybe she should have drankthat gold juice, like Taryn
Manning said, if you haven'theard that shit.
That shit's crazy, that chickshe.
I hope they have her in witnessprotection or something,
because people are going to comeafter her.
(05:20):
Anyway, another source sharedthat the way people's attitudes
towards genders change followingreports that she fostered a
racist and harsh workenvironment was enough to see
her leave the country.
But that was years ago.
You can't say that now.
This was years ago that thiscame out about you.
This wasn't yesterday.
Stop lying, bro.
(05:41):
It's about Trump.
It's about Trump.
It's about Trump.
It's about Trump, stop, ok, youcan't say it's about the
allegations made against youfrom years ago.
Okay, this happened, I think,probably when we came back from
COVID.
I'm gonna look it up, though,with all the ill will towards
her, she was looking to moveaway even before the election,
so she should have done it, soit didn't make it look like this
(06:02):
.
The source began and as thingspanned out, with Trump winning,
she's glad that she's making themove and going to be away from
the U?
S.
The source continued she hasthe one person that still loves
her Porsche, which doesn't evenlook like it from pictures I've
seen of them together, and she'sready to leave everyone who in
her mind left her hanging out todry.
If she considers it herretirement, so be it.
Nobody gives a fuck about EllenDeGeneres.
That's the funny part.
(06:23):
Have you ever seen her picturedout with anybody but Portia
Lately?
I should say Nobody gives ashit.
All these other celebrities areprobably in their house looking
at this article or looking atany news of Ellen moving and
going.
Oh, okay, at this point she'san acquaintance at best to
anybody who's making thoseBrazilians, okay, brazilians.
(06:47):
An enormous part of the USdoesn't like her because of her
sexual preferences and otherswere turned off by her persona,
which some perceive to be fakein the wake of the workplace
allegations.
Bruh, that second part, so true,because once the curtain's been
drawn, okay.
Once they pull back the curtainon her bullshit, uh, woe is me.
(07:07):
Let me cry on camera, bro.
You also went on to do stand-up.
That kind of was like fuckHollywood.
So which one is it?
Are you upset that Hollywoodleft you in the lurch or are you
upset because you can't makefriends anymore because of what
people believe about you now.
Is it fuck Hollywood or is itfuck Donald Trump?
(07:29):
Which one is it?
It's fuck Hollywood.
It's actually not even fuckHollywood.
It's like oh, hollywood left mebehind.
Trump won, yeah, that's thefinal straw.
Bruh Trump is a person, by theway.
That's like breaking up withsomeone and moving out of your
house.
That's not even near them.
That's what that is.
(07:49):
You're leaving the countrybecause a person won, and I just
love how everyone thinks thatthere's.
All these changes he's going tomake are going to undo
everything Joe Biden did, whichmaybe he doesn't have enough
time though you would need adecade at least to undo
everything that happened.
Not saying anything aboutanybody being a bad guy, but I'm
(08:10):
just saying Ellen moving to theUK is like her moving, like who
does she even know who's in theUK?
Or is that the point?
I think Johnny Depp lives inthe UK now, or is it Paris?
I don't know, but either way,these celebrities are just doing
what they want, and this is notnews.
This is there was a bad breakup.
(08:31):
This is what it feels like.
So it feels like the breakupwas between Ellen and Trump, ok,
and she had to move out oftheir house.
That's what that is.
And essentially we us, theneighbors, who are seeing this
shit firsthand are like oh, okay, she's moving, wow, and that's
it.
Move on with your fucking day.
(08:53):
Like, this girl's putting somuch drama to it.
It's insane.
Nobody hates her because of hersexual preferences.
At this point it's so in ourface.
I don't give a shit if you lovethe color purple and want to
fuck it or marry it.
If I'm being perfectly honest,I have a gay coworker who I love
to death.
Okay, he is the shit.
(09:15):
I love the entire gay communityand that's it.
I don't care about EllenDeGeneres' love life.
I'm pretty sure nobody elsecares about it either.
Like, she's been with Portiafor like from since the dawn of
time.
She hasn't been with anyoneelse that I've seen.
(09:36):
I think she was with Anne Hechefor like two seconds.
I think Anne Heche is deaf,right, or maybe that's the other
one I'm thinking of.
Anyway, I just love that Anenormous part of the US doesn't
like her because of her sexualpreferences.
No, bro, we don't like herbecause she's a shit ass person.
Okay, she's a shit ass person.
Sit ass person, cool.
Anyway.
(09:56):
The source added that DeGeneresfinds it easier to move away
from her problems than toconfront them, adding that the
whole incident seems like a sadend to what she once was in
people's minds.
Nobody cared about Ellen ever.
I didn't even think her comedywas that good.
She like quit doing stand-up todo a talk show.
You became very vanilla.
Why not just stay raunchy?
(10:17):
This would have been way coolerif you were still that raunchy
stand-up person that peopleliked.
Now you're just another assholethat's moving out of the country
anytime.
I see some shit about peoplemoving out of the country
because donald trump won.
I'm like good for you.
You have the money to do that.
But also, why have you studiedpolitics of any other country?
(10:38):
Do you know what your rightsare as a man or a woman, even as
a woman, in another country?
Is anyone doing research?
Are we just leaving?
To leave Like that makes nosense.
Oh, I'm a.
I'm a woman.
I'm a Hispanic woman.
I'm going to go live in Italy.
What are your rights as aHispanic woman in Italy?
If anything, I want to go toSwitzerland.
I want to go for that.
(10:58):
Four four day work week is whatI want.
Give me those 10-hour shifts,if not my weekend.
Give me that maternity leavethat lasts almost forever in a
day.
Make me happy, bruh.
Oh, I just wiped my nose likeI'm not wearing makeup, fuck.
Anyway, degeneres and Rossi hadand DeRossi, how stupid had
(11:20):
since acquired a home in theCotswolds area, a rural
community in southwest Englandthat sits 100 miles outside of
London.
What that makes me think of isthe holiday, because that's
where fucking Kate Winslet'shouse was.
Anyway, the couple isreportedly preparing to place
their Montecito mansion up forsale, which means they're
permanently calling it quits onAmerican life.
Their new home was reportedlypurchased months before the
(11:41):
election, with a source sharingthat they'd earlier traveled to
England to see the property andthat DeGeneres had fallen in
love with the property inCotswolds.
As long as Ellen does, ellenexcuse me, ellarin as long as
Ellen doesn't say two fuckingwords to anybody, she'll make it
, because then she'll be like ohmy God, the UK hates me also.
Yeah, because you're an asshole, you're the obnoxious person
(12:09):
they invite to dinner and neverinvite back.
You get like one chance to makefucking an impression on
somebody.
Somebody knows how you feelabout them within 10 seconds of
you talking.
Please do talk to some peoplein England.
Ellen, fucking Portia will befine because she's Australian.
She has some kind of accent.
You're an American.
We all sound like dicks to them.
Okay, we are walking dickheadsto them when we go to their
country.
Nobody likes the Americanaccent Nobody and if they do,
(12:33):
it's because they're trying tofuck you.
You know what I mean.
We have the most annoyingaccent there is.
I know, I do, I know, I do.
Let's see.
She has been on the lookout fora house in the area and often
visits her celebrity pals.
A Cotswolds house has become astatus symbol in the celebrity
world and Ellen wanted to jointhe pack.
Degeneres and DeRossi haveseemingly settled down in their
(12:54):
new neighborhood, as they werespotted visiting Clarkson's Pub
in the Cotswolds last week.
Their new home bo listneighbors like david and
victoria beckham, kate moss,patrick stewart, elizabeth
hurley, jeremy clarkson anddamian hurst.
Okay, I like this, this titleof this fucking and this piece
of the blog.
Whatever ellen degeneres said,she was kicked out of show
(13:16):
business following theallegations that she was toxic
to her staff.
Degeneres was seeminglycanceled, with her show
subsequently airing its lastepisode on May 26, 2022.
Do you see what I mean?
She's talking about howeverybody hates her.
Meanwhile, this shit washappening.
I'm telling you, right afterCOVID.
This became the thing becausesomeone was probably sick of her
shit and reported it to, leakedit to a news media and they ran
(13:38):
with it.
And good for them, because,also, fuck her, fuck her, she
does not need to.
She should have just stayed inher lane.
She went to be in a talk showand acted and wanted to act like
a bitch.
Then own up to your shit.
Own up to it.
Yes, I'm an asshole.
I'm a piece of shit.
You know how.
You know how you have to dothat so many times in a
(13:59):
relationship.
Just be accountable for shityou've done wrong.
I do it all the time lately andI'm so sick of it.
I'd rather just be how I was inthe 20s, which is fuck you,
you're wrong and this is why Ifeel this way, because you
provoked me and eat shit and diejust like that.
In that order, she talked abouther fall from grace on her stand
up Netflix special for yourapproval, where she joked about
(14:21):
getting kicked out of showbusiness for being mean, as well
as then becoming the most hatedperson in America.
The hate went on for a longtime and I would try to avoid
looking at the news.
The quote unquote be kind girlwasn't kind.
That was the headline.
Yeah, you're a dickhead.
Noting how she ended her talkshow each day by saying be kind
to one another.
Degenerate, degenerate joke.
(14:42):
That it became a problembecause people started to think
of her as a one dimensionalcharacter who gave stuff away
and danced up steps.
Yeah, pretty much.
She then spoke about how shewas able to go through the
trying phase with the help ofher wife and that they're both
dancing.
Now.
I'm making jokes about whathappened to me, but it was
devastating.
It took a long time for me towant to do anything again.
(15:05):
Okay, funniest thing.
The next article that comes upis Meghan Markle won't follow in
pal and Ellen DeGeneresfootsteps by moving to the UK.
But what about Prince Harry?
I like this one.
This.
This is going to be funny,let's see.
Last week, it emerged that thecomedian and the arrested
development alum packed up andmoved to England following
Donald Trump's election when,earlier this month, sources
close to the couple, who wed in08, said that they will likely
never return to the US on apermanent basis.
(15:26):
However, despite boasting avery close friendship with the
former Ellen show host, theSuits alum 43, will not be
looking to make a similar moveherself for the second time.
According to a former palacestaffer, megan's too much of an
American girl.
She doesn't want to be in theUK permanently.
I can see her coming over forthe holidays and having time
(15:47):
over here, but living herepermanently I just don't see it.
The same theory doesn't applyto Markle's husband.
What are they going to do?
In fact, the former palacestaffer believes the Duke of
Sussex will be making that moveeventually.
I do see it.
I think he could be open toreturning.
As I always keep saying, neversay never.
Post has reached out to Markle'sreps for comments, still after
being stripped of tax fundedprivate security following their
royal exit in 2020.
(16:07):
The Sussexes, and Markle inparticular, have made a
conscious effort to stay out ofthe UK.
Good for her.
They don't want to be under thethumb of that bullshit.
Out of the thumb of thatroyalty bullshit.
Let me see, bruh, what is youknow what?
I don't have time for that.
So then the next thing.
So I have to say man, I'mgetting so sick of like that.
(16:29):
Shit's not news, okay, ellenwanting to leave the country to
move someplace else?
That's not news.
The reason she's moving is fakeas fuck.
Just say you want to movebecause you got found out to be
a shitty person who, like theysaid, was one dimensional and
just danced up steps.
Her poor fucking guy Twitchdying was crazy, killing himself
(16:50):
probably from everything heknew about.
Ellen, don't you realize a lotof people who commit slewy slide
, they like to, they have themost secrets, and you find that
shit out after they pass away.
And yes, I said slewy slidebecause I don't want to talk
about it, I don't want to saythe other word Anyway.
So my other problem is lately,I've just noticed a lot of
(17:12):
things with technology.
Let's move ahead.
The latest thing that's oh, mygod, I wiped my nose again the
latest thing that's happenedwith technology is that you can
no longer just pick up shit instore anymore.
You either have to go to thestore itself or you have to
order for delivery.
Um, I don't want to do that,apple, I don't want to do that
AT&T.
What I want to do is be able toplace the order on my phone and
(17:34):
go pick it up.
For example, my Apple watch isdying Okay, more and more each
week, I feel.
So my shit is ready for anupgrade.
I have a Series 6.
Right now they're on Series 10and Ultra 2.
That's like six models outsideof what I had, and I've had this
watch for years and I said Iwas never going to upgrade it
(17:55):
until it needed to be upgraded.
I think we're at the pointwhere that's it.
So I'm at the point where Iwant to do it, but the way they
were wanting me to do it, Idon't want to do it, and I say
that with absolute love anddisgust at the same time.
But, at&t, just let me placethe order on the phone here and
go get it.
I don't want to just go inthere and be stuck talking to
(18:16):
y'all about it.
I know which one I want.
I had the conversation with arepresentative on Apple.
They told me series 10, 46millimeter.
I want the big screen, bruh.
Anyway, all I have to do is paytax on it, and I'm probably
going to get it next week, Ithink, because funds are running
(18:37):
a little dry and I have billsto pay.
But I just don't get it.
And I was talking to mycoworker, jamar, about this and
he said that T-Mobile used togive you Amazon prime for free
and now you have to add it, likeput it as an add on and I'm
like bruh, it's the same cost ofhaving it on its own.
Like that makes no sense.
I would rather just have itseparate.
Like what would be the fuckingdifference?
I have HBO, max, three, tnt,and I'm fine with that, because
(18:59):
I feel like they keep raisingthe price on it and as long as
my phone bill stays the same, weGucci, uh, oh, yeah.
So here we go.
So let's talk about friendships,relationships and all that shit
, because Dan wanted to get intoit last week.
He wanted to get into it lastweek when I was having a, when
he listened to the podcast lastThursday.
We were talking about this.
(19:20):
He listens to the podcast whileI'm sitting in discord with him
so that he can make comments ortext me about it and I'll be
like I have no idea what that is.
That's how quickly I forgetwhat I talk about.
That's why I always have towrite shit down.
I never understand what I, whatI was talking about, what I
want to talk about, what I meantto say, what I didn't say.
(19:41):
I don't remember.
I don't remember anything.
And it's not sad or anything,it's just I don't remember.
So the next part of my notes isentitled Dan, fuck you, which
he asked for.
So check this shit out.
(20:01):
He took five years away frombeing my friend or being a part
of my life, I guess, because Iwas too toxic of a person back
then.
And you see that, ellen, takethat as a note.
Ellen, you're too toxic aperson, I'm too toxic a person,
but you know what I do.
I live where I live and that'slife.
You live where you live.
(20:22):
So, basically, he took fiveyears away from me, I guess to
you know, have a life outside ofmine because I was toxic, I was
very you're my friend andthat's it kind of how dare you
try and have a life outside ofit?
Yes, I'm a bitch, whatever.
So I did all of that to him andhe was like, yeah, well, he kind
of ghosted for five years.
He didn't give an explanationas to why.
(20:44):
He just kind of dipped and Isent him a message.
I think I sent him one lastmessage like come on, I think
he's been long enough for somecrazy shit and uh, supposedly
that's begging him to be myfriend again as I go cross-eyed
reading this shit.
He said that he noticed it twoyears later, like he forgot his
password on Facebook or someshit.
Could you imagine?
I actually write my passwordsdown because I'm an old lady, so
(21:08):
if I ever clear cash andcookies, I have a whole thing of
notes of all my passwords foreverything For my movie
streaming shit, for my moviestreaming shit, for my game
streaming shit, everything.
Everything is up and running.
Okay, you're not going to tellme that I don't have my
passwords, because even aniPhone has an app called
Passwords Now, where everythingis.
(21:29):
But sometimes, though, thatshit fails because it doesn't
save it the way it should,because it doesn't save it the
way you should, anyway.
So we took a five-year hiatus,or he did.
He noticed it two years later.
He forgot his password, neversaw my message, and supposedly I
begged him to be my friend, andhere we are.
I don't even remember what thereturn message was.
(21:51):
I'm pretty sure I can't find itbecause, since we've been
friends, it's been another fiveyears, oh dope.
So he told me that his okay.
So this was the otherconversation we were having.
We were going to bet on whetheror not his daughter would be
able to withstand Moana too.
They went to go see it thismorning.
Cause I'm recording on aWednesday.
I'm not recording onThanksgiving, but I am putting
(22:12):
it out on Thanksgiving, um, ormaybe I'll just release the same
day.
Who gives a fuck?
Um, nah, I'm gonna release itThursday.
I have to have discipline,discipline, discipline.
Um, we were trying to figureout whether or not she'd be able
to withstand it.
I even Googled some shit as tolike decibels of movies and it
was kind of cool, the facts.
But, um, the decibels arereally loud.
(22:36):
Um, apparently he just textedme to let me know that she went
through like a rock star, whichis really cool because now he
could take her to other movies.
So that's dope for them.
I like that.
They went to go see moana too.
I don't remember if I said it.
See what I'm saying, I don'tremember shit.
Uh, yeah, so they went to gosee that movie and, uh, kicked
ass, kicked ass is what I heard.
(22:57):
Uh, saturday, my friend laurafrom new york came by.
We had such a good time.
She came, we sat on the couch,um, like we used to, and uh, I
was very, uh, very chill.
She came over.
I think I woke up like an hourbefore she got here, because she
said 12 o'clock, so I thoughtthat she was saying that she was
leaving at 12 o'clock, not whattime she was actually going to
(23:20):
get here, like I think I askedher ma'am what time and she said
12.
What does that mean?
12?
What Are you getting here at 12?
Which was the right was theright question to ask, because,
yes, she got here at 12.
She hung out with us all day.
I loved it.
(23:40):
Um, we sat on the couch, wetalked, we watched Deadpool
versus Wolverine, which she hadnot watched yet and uh, we had a
good time.
It was really good.
Um, the boyfriend was sellinghis cards in the other room.
He kept coming out, cause Iguess he misses being in the
same room with me, like in theold apartment where I used to
kind of just sit next to him,kind of like the couch and his
desk and shit were in the sameroom, so he would kind of just
be able to talk to me, eventhough he knows I can't fucking
(24:03):
hear him when I have headphoneson, which is so crazy to me.
The bucket drums on the fucking, the buckets on the side of my
head exclaim please talk to me.
Like you know, I listen to shitloud.
I have to stop rubbing my face.
I do plan on streaming today.
I think now that Dan has gottenout of the movies, it might be
easier.
I'm not sure I might play likeBioshock or something.
(24:26):
I was going to play somethingchill.
I should really just see ifthat's even downloaded.
If it isn't, I'm going to playthe other cozy game, but
downloads usually take like fiveseconds on my computer.
But downloads usually take likefive seconds on my computer.
So Laura came over and we hungout on the couch, we watched TV
and then we went to go eat.
We went to this place calledJohnny's Filling Station, which
(24:48):
was really good.
I had a Cuban which I hadn'thad in forever.
She had a Philly cheesesteakand Stephen had a black and blue
burger.
Um so good, curly fries arealways, always a hit for me.
And uh, we ate, we, uh, we gotstuck in stupid traffic because
you know, florida just likes tochange the highways around and
(25:10):
shit.
So when you think you're goingleft on a highway to get on the
highway, it's actually hey, hey,stay to the right to go east,
and we're like what the fuck?
Then, of course, we try andfigure out what's going on and
why there's such an event, andthen we're like oh yeah, it's a
fucking Saturday, saturday nightand Orlando Magic was playing.
Bruh, that's what.
Shut everything down.
(25:30):
A shitty ass basketball teamshut everything down on a
Saturday.
The people trying to get peoplein parking lots just insane to
me.
Bruh, just don't ever godowntown on a Saturday night and
think you're getting in and outof there quickly around dinner
time, because I don't know whogave these guys license to
fucking manage traffic during anevent.
(25:50):
But take it back.
Take back the authority thatyou were given to do this shit.
Anyway, that food was good.
Hanging out with her is alwaysgood.
She said she's going to revokemy Spanish card because I don't
have rice in my house anymore.
I'm too busy during the week.
I don't want to spend two hoursin the kitchen on top of, you
know, having to go throughtraffic and all that shit.
(26:12):
The only time I actually makefood that's on and popping with
crazy amount of effort is on theweekends.
Like I don't want to.
I don't want to do it.
I don't want to be bothered.
Bruh, during the week I do myminute rice.
I put it in a bowl, I put somekind of protein with it, some
seasonings, whatever, and that'sit.
I'm trying to eat better.
Also, I can't be making crazyshit like that anymore.
(26:33):
I need to just be chill.
I need to be chill.
In any case, she don't get it.
She's like I'm going to revokeyour Spanish card.
I was like I don't even have afucking bag of rice in here,
like usually.
You have like a five pound bagof rice that you just scoop from
and just throw it.
No, I don't even have thatanymore.
I do want to get more organizedwith my shit, though, because I
hate pests, and it's been agood two weeks.
(26:55):
Knock on wood.
I heard that knock.
That's my desk.
Knock on wood that I don't haveany more issues.
Lord, baby Jesus, stop givingme trauma.
I know I can handle it, I justdon't want to.
I'm in the season of lazinesswe are.
We're about to be in fall,where, you know, seasonal affect
(27:17):
disorder is having it and it'scoming up.
Man, it's coming up.
Oh, my God.
Speaking of, I forgot to takeall my medication this morning.
That's cool.
I'm gonna take it after this,though.
That's cool as fuck.
Anyway, speaking of medication,um, I've had like the worst
headache and it's because ofallergies.
Okay, so I know that I'msupposed to be taking allergy
medication every day because Ihave a problem.
So when I get sinus headachesthey're really bad and I fuck
(27:49):
man, I keep forgetting shit inthe middle of a sentence.
I know that I should be takingthat shit every day If not gonna
have bad days.
I have had several bad allergydays.
I think my desk is crookedSorry, I'm looking at the wrong
shit.
I've had bad allergy days whereI just want to put my head down
and I cry a little bit becausethat's how bad the pressure is.
Like.
Right now I feel it behind myleft eye.
So I'm headed to headache landand, uh, I have to ask.
(28:14):
Because I was taking Tylenolbefore I finally you know,
fucking ordered myself meds.
I, uh, what you call it I wastaking Tylenol and I was
thinking to myself I'm like why,why are they making the coating
of pills sweet?
It's not fucking candy.
We all know why we're takingthis shit.
(28:35):
Like I was taking generictylenol and it had that red
coating on it and it was likesweet and I'm like, can you
please not?
Um, please, stop giving mesugar pills.
Is what it feels like?
I'm not eating sugar pills.
Stop giving it to me.
And anyway, I was tasting it,and that's that's my thought.
(28:56):
I'm like this shit isn't working.
My brain is just thinking it'sworking like a placebo.
Stop it, I want the shit thatactually works.
I don't want to deal withanything else.
Sorry, I need to drink stuff.
My throat's getting dry.
It's not candy.
Tylenol is not candy.
Tylenol is not candy.
Ibuprofen is not candy.
Advil is not candy.
When I was younger, though, Idid think it was candy, because
(29:18):
Advil was covered, had like abrown coating to it, and I was
like, ooh, m&ms, but for pain,all right, I can deal with it.
And then, growing up, yourealize that there's the
different pills do differentthings.
So Advil doesn't do the samething as Excedrin or ibuprofen.
(29:39):
It can, but you might need ahigher dose, which could lead to
death in most cases.
Isn't that funny?
The regular shit that we relyon can kill us if we take too
much of it, because the liverand kidneys are just like up too
much overdosed.
Overdosed on ibuprofen.
That period cramps going tohave to wait.
Bitch, we're taking over yourbody and killing you.
That period cramps gonna haveto wait.
Bitch, we're taking over yourbody and killing you.
That's what that message is.
(30:00):
Actually, there was a guy whowas putting poison in Excedrin.
I'm gonna look that shit up,hold up.
This was years ago, though thisisn't new, so calm down.
Excedrin poisoning here it is,let's see.
No, that's not it.
Here it is, let's see.
(30:22):
Nope, that's not.
It Is that it 1988.
Well, this is one.
So let's see.
Stella Nickel this was in 1988.
Stella Nickel is convicted ontwo counts of murder by a
Seattle Washington jury.
She was the first person to befound guilty of violating the
Federal Anti-Tampering Act afterputting cyanide in excedrin
capsules in an effort to killher husband.
That's crazy.
And they say that that shitsmells like peanuts and not many
(30:43):
people are able to smell it.
Stella and bruce nickel marriedin 1976, shortly before seven
people were killed in chicago,chicago, illinois.
Okay, so this is it chicago,illinois from poison, tylenol
pills.
According to Stella's daughterfrom a previous marriage, stella
had begun planning Bruce'smurder almost from the honeymoon
.
The Chicago Tylenol incident,which was never solved, had a
(31:04):
lasting impact on Stella, whodecided that cyanide would be a
good method of murder.
Hold up, I'm going to read thatother one too.
Actually, let's read that onefirst 1982.
Okay, so this.
Read that one first 1982.
Okay, so this is eight years.
Cyanide-laced Tylenol killsfirst three of seven victims.
On September 29, 1982, threeChicago-area residents became
(31:25):
ill and die after ingestingextra-strength Tylenol, later
found to be poisoned withcyanide.
They are the first of sevenvictims to lose their lives
after taking theover-the-counter pain reliever
which had been tampered with.
Seven victims to lose theirlives after taking the
over-the-counter pain relieverwhich had been tampered with.
The case would create anational panic over the safety
of non-prescription medicationsand lead to new standards for
pill packaging.
Okay, so it led to somethinggood.
Seventh grader MarianneKellerman was the first to die
(31:48):
after taking the medicineovernight to combat a sore
throat.
After the next victim, adamJanus fuck me.
Man with the name didn't wakeup, or is it Janus?
I don't know, bruh, it's J,with anus attached to it.
Sad, don't disrespect the dead,but come on with the name.
Didn't wake up from a nap.
He ended up in the emergencyroom in critical condition and
(32:08):
later died.
After visiting his olderbrother in the hospital Stanley
what's his name?
Man Stanley Janus, I'm justgoing to say went back to Adam's
house with his wife Teresa toalleviate their stress-induced
headaches.
They both took capsules fromthe open Tylenol bottle that was
sitting on the counter.
They too were poisoned.
Stanley died that day andTeresa the next after lapsing
into a coma.
Other victims included MaryReiner, who had a headache after
(32:31):
giving birth, 31-year-old MaryMcFarland and flight attendant
Paula Prince.
After Prince's death, richardKeyworth and Philip Capitelli
firefighters in the Windy Cityrealized that all seven victims
had ingested extra-strengthTylenol prior to becoming ill.
Further investigation revealedthat several bottles of the
Tylenol capsules had beenpoisoned with cyanide.
While bottles of extra-strengthTylenol were recalled
(32:51):
nationwide, the onlycontaminated capsules were found
in the Chicago area.
A possible culprit wasidentified when investigators
discovered letters demanding amillion dollars to stop the
killings, but a lack of evidenceprevented a conviction.
The mass murder did, however,lead to new tamper-proof
medicine containers.
It also led to a string ofcopycat crimes, as others sought
to blackmail companies withalleged poisoning schemes, most
(33:13):
of which proved to be falsealarms.
That's crazy, so that neverwent solved.
So this one, though, is good.
We'll go back to the Stella one.
In 1985, stella took out a lifeinsurance policy on Bruce that
included a substantial indemnitypayment for accidental death.
A year later, stella putcyanide in an Excedrin capsule
that Bruce later took for aheadache.
He died in the hospital, butdoctors did not detect the
(33:34):
cyanide and ascribe the death toemphysema.
Stella, who stood to lose ahundred thousand if his death
wasn't ruled an accident,decided to alter her plan.
Wow, bruh, she tampered withfive additional bottles of
Excedrin and placed them onstore shelves in the Seattle
area.
Six days later, susan Snow tookone of these capsules and died.
Instantly After her death wasreported in the news, stella
called the police to tell themthat she thought her husband had
(33:55):
also been poisoned.
Wow, bro, that's crazy.
When investigators came toNichols' home to pick up the
Excedrin bottle, she told themthat there were two bottles and
that she had purchased them ondifferent days at different
places.
When both turned out to containcontaminated capsules,
investigators grew suspicious.
(34:40):
No-transcript, that's crazy asfuck.
Could you imagine?
Oh, it wasn't ruled anaccidental death.
Actually, I'm going to bookmarkthe History Channel.
We, we're gonna do some shit.
We're gonna incorporate thatshit, the Unbelievable with Dan
(35:02):
Aykroyd.
You know I'm a bookmark thatsite, though I'm gonna need some
shit to talk about.
And that was crazy.
Could you imagine, hey, so itdoesn't look like it's gonna be
an accidental death, so youabsolutely get nothing.
And she goes.
But wait a second, gonna be anaccidental death.
So you absolutely get nothingand she goes.
But wait a second, that otherperson got poisoned too.
Could you imagine?
Oh my god, why would you callthe police and say that shit,
(35:23):
just let them investigate it ontheir own, you greedy bitch.
Also, 100k is like nothing now,but 100k might have been like a
million back in fucking 1985?
I don't remember, my memory'sfailing me.
Thank you so much for thesejeans.
So, oh man, there was somethingelse that I was talking about
(35:45):
with Dan that I forgot.
Anyway, that's crazy.
Why would you poison yourhusband like that, you stupid
bitch?
If you don't want to marry him,don't marry him.
This is what I'm saying.
Like, there's certain things inrelationships, like, if you know
, how long does it take you torealize that you don't want to
be with someone?
Like it took her how many years?
(36:07):
Three, eight, I don't rememberthe year.
Now, damn it, hold up.
I'm looking.
I'm looking because that'sfucked up.
My memory is fucked up.
No bitch, go back 1988.
Okay, so she was with this guy.
What?
How many years?
Oh my God, she was with him 12years.
Oh, you stupid ass.
(36:28):
So it took her 12 years todecide she wanted to kill him.
That's insane, bro.
You should know right off thebat whether or not you want to
date somebody and just getdivorced.
Just get divorced Because asmuch as you could have probably
gotten away with that back inthat time, you're not doing it
now Only because technologyexists.
(36:48):
Like, just get divorced, dowhat normal people do and just
part ways amicably or notamicably and get your money.
Get your money, sis.
Stop murdering people who getmoney.
It doesn't work that way.
What do you think you're in amovie?
You're not slick enough forthat, especially because you
didn't think about, you know,tampering with other shit first.
(37:10):
Do that first and wear gloves.
They were fingerprinting backthen.
The only thing they weren'tdoing was probably DNA, or were
they?
No, they might have starteddoing DNA, like later on, or
maybe they just you know, I mean, who cares?
I'm getting caught up infucking details, anyway.
(37:34):
So, going back to what I saidlast time about abbreviations, I
figured out what I see.
Why am?
I means and I can't believe I'm35 and just figuring that out I
was looking at something atwork yesterday on my laptop and
I was looking at something thatthey posted in one of the chats.
(37:55):
It's really informational.
It lets us know about updatesand stuff.
And, um, yeah, I know, myfucking box was delivered.
You scared the shit out of mewhen you dropped it.
Sorry, my hello, fresh boxeshere.
Um, so I was looking atsomething in my work.
Chat, it said I see him, I seewhy am I?
And then had a title to it andI was like, oh, okay.
Chat, it said, I see why am I.
And then it had a title to itand I was like, oh, okay, cool.
(38:18):
So let me see if I can figurethis out, because we've been
trying to figure out theseabbreviations forever.
So I looked and I was like, oh,okay, that's what that fucking
means.
It's.
In case you missed it.
In case you missed it, in caseyou missed it, I've never been
(38:40):
more annoyed in my life at anabbreviation Like what happened
to FYI?
Why are we doing this with somany letters?
What's going on?
Hey, fyi, da-da-da-da-da-da-da,put the agenda underneath it.
We got.
In case you missed it, I see,why am I, this is what we talked
about and it's just annoying.
(39:02):
I'm like, okay, bitch, what didI miss?
And then it's like someunimportant shit that I did not
miss, like yesterday, love myjob, excuse me, had to put
Japsicle on.
Love my job.
But let me tell you somethingI'm still in training.
I'm still not even sure whatI'm going to be doing once I get
to reporting, like once I getinto the role, like I'm in the
(39:28):
role now, but what I'm saying isin a more official capacity
rather than just sitting herelike a blob on a log and I just
uh, I'm trying to figure outwhat I'm supposed to be doing
and right now nobody has anyidea.
I'm given a lot of self studystuff and I'm just I'm watching
and rewatching and attendingcalls.
If they assign me something todo on my agenda, I'm in there
like swimwear.
I'm attending everything theytell me to.
(39:50):
But I sat in on somethingyesterday that was like an hour
and a half.
But I sat in on somethingyesterday that was like an hour
and a half.
And you know I want to be active, I want to show enthusiasm and
stuff, but I have no idea whatI'm doing.
I have no idea what I'm doing.
I have no idea what I'm talkingabout and uh, it's just crazy
Cause I'm like they have mesitting in on this and while I
love being welcomed warmly to ateam, I don't know what any of
(40:13):
this means.
I don't know what any of thisis and you're just making me
more confused, which, again, I'mokay with.
It's fine, I'll figure it outlater on.
I'm sure later on, whateverthey showed me yesterday is
going to be like ah, when I getto that, like ah, okay.
Like yeah, okay, that makessense, I'll apply that here.
(40:35):
But I don't get it Like.
I'm not trying to let me tellyou something.
I'm not trying to bad mouth or,you know, downplay anything.
Again, really excited to be inmy new role.
I've been in it for liketomorrow makes date-wise, makes
a month.
This past Monday makes fourweeks, I believe, or next Monday
, I don't remember.
I makes four weeks, I believe,or next Monday, I don't remember
(41:02):
.
I can't believe we're going tobe in December next week.
Anybody else confused by thiscalendar?
I'm confused by the fact thatwe're already ending 2024.
Does anybody else not like,even like, odd number years
either?
I feel like 2025 is going to beso odd, but I am going to be an
even year to age 36, which isso fucking frightening.
I don't like this idea ofgetting old anymore.
When I was younger, you knowhow.
(41:23):
When you're younger.
You want to be older.
I'm just not feeling it.
I think I'm just scared to beolder because I feel like I
should be more responsible andI'm not where I think I should
be, which is obviously negativethinking, and I've said this
before.
But I can't help but stop andwonder if I just pursued things
earlier or actually went forstuff that I wanted to go for,
(41:43):
would my life be different?
And I'm kind of okay with thatanswer being yes, but I'm kind
of okay with my life where it is.
It's just career wise anddegree wise.
I would like to be using mydegree, and it's just really
hard to do that.
I don't really support peoplegoing to college unless they
(42:07):
know what they actually want todo, and it's a field that they
can actually get into.
My sister is going for um.
She's doing like coding andshit, and I think she's going to
be really good at that, becauseI think she's more, she's less.
She doesn't like people.
If I'm I'm just going to say itlike that plainly she doesn't
(42:27):
like people, but what she doeson her own, she's very talented
in schoolwork, so her being likea data analyst or anything like
that, she's going to be reallygood at it.
She might not be great with thepeople portion of it, which is,
you know, you can't be good ateverything.
She's going to be good at that,and I'm really proud of her.
(42:50):
My sister I don't know whatBeats is doing.
I don't know what Beats isdoing.
I know what Dee is doing.
Beats, I have no idea.
I talk to her every so oftenbut, bro, I don't care.
The fucking HelloFresh texted meagain like hey, how would you
approve your order?
How would you rate your order?
Bitch, my food's here.
I rated it five.
(43:10):
It got here.
It got to the right door.
You guys are great.
I don't know about the $60 amonth, though.
I mean $60 a week.
I think I have to skip thisweek, though, because it's too
much food now and I have food inthe freezer I need to make, so
I might skip this this comingweek.
Um, it's really good, though.
We had uh, I'm I'm changinglanes cause I don't care about
(43:30):
that school stuff anymore.
I am, uh I'm very impressedwith their menu.
I didn't think that it wasgoing to be good because of the
seasoning, like the least.
I feel like I might beover-seasoning my shit at this
point.
It's making me observant ofthings.
But we had some panko crusted,spicy Buffalo chicken thing.
Oh my God, bruh Almost died ofdeliciousness, cause of death.
(43:52):
Deliciousness, that's what it'sgoing to be.
I'm like, oh my Lord, this wasso good.
And then, of course, theboyfriend eats it up Like
someone's going to steal it fromhim.
Obviously, I give him thebigger cutlet, but it was just
so.
The way they have you do shitis very simple, very easy, and
in half an hour you're eatingfood and I'm like, bro, my shit
feels like it takes too long,bro.
(44:15):
So, the Buffalo chicken thingactually I cooked last Friday
and I worked out Friday, whichis weird for me because I am the
laziest piece of garbage thereis on Fridays.
So Friday I cooked and it waslike a um, creamy, um, like
creamy beef and beef cavatappithing.
It was good.
(44:35):
Um, creamy, cheesy beefcavatappi.
It was like ground beefcavatappi thing.
It was good.
Creamy cheesy beef cavatappi,it was like ground beef
cavatappi and like Parmesaneverywhere.
It was so good, it was reallygood.
This was good.
The chicken was better, thechicken was really good.
I cooked.
What did I cook on a Monday,today's Wednesday?
Yeah, monday, sorry, I had tothink about it in my head.
Monday I cooked that chickenthing and it was so good.
(44:58):
And I think I've gotten to thepoint where I'm such a cleaner
that I'm cleaning while I cookso that towards the end of it I
don't have anything left in myfucking sink.
So that makes me happy aboutthat.
And that chicken was so good andI just got my box that came
this week.
Let's see what we got this weekfor this box.
I'm going to look at my appreal quick.
(45:18):
I am going to skip next weekfor sure.
The week after I can definitelydo because I get paid.
So let's see Delivered.
So I got Mushu Pork Bowls.
I got Tortilla Melts, so onepan cheesy beef tortilla melts
and then I got the marry mechicken penne.
So that's going to be good.
Um, yeah, I don't think.
(45:41):
Yeah, I'm not going to havethat.
I'm going to have to skip thatweek or I'm going to have to
push it.
Uh, edit, delivery the wow, thecrispy chicken, cayenne chicken
cutlets they're giving it to meagain, bro.
So good, firecracker meatballsand pork sausage.
Rigatoni Rosa.
Ooh, creamy lemon butterchicken with couscous.
What's up?
Sorry, this menu gets me sofucked up.
(46:02):
It's going to be so good theygot me for some reason I don't
know why, but they actuallytheir menu's gotten a lot better
.
Not that it was bad before,it's just I actually have
someone who wants to eat thisfood with me.
It's saving us money on buyingshit.
We don't need to buy food asmuch because we order takeout a
(46:24):
lot because I get lazy andsometimes I don't want to cook.
Bruh, I don't know what it is,but, like you know, that job was
taking it out of me up untilnow.
Now I feel good, now I feelprepared.
I feel uh, prepared is theright word, prepared is the
right word.
I feel prepared and I feel likeI have more time mentally to do
things.
You know I'm I'm more availablementally to take on other shit
(46:49):
after work.
When I was in upmarket, um, allI did not only complain on here
but rant on here, which maybemade some of you guys laugh.
Maybe you guys were sick of it.
Always had a new story, thoughit was never the same shit,
maybe the same people involved.
But now I can talk about shit Iwant to talk about because I
don't have to use my brain asmuch.
Ok, and I'm trying to.
(47:11):
Like I said, I'm trying to getback into being consistent and
so far, so good.
Every time I see something, Itake notes because I know you
guys want to hear about it ormaybe don't Up to you, but I'm
really glad to be able to sharethis time with you guys.
It makes me feel a lot better.
It's like a virtual journal forme, because sometimes writing
can cramp a bitch's hand up.
Okay, and I don't really wantto be writing in a journal
(47:33):
anymore because I've had badexperiences with people going
through my shit.
And if I want people to knowshit, here you go, you can have
this, you can listen to this,that's it.
Just listen to this thing andit tells you all you need to
know about my day, how I feltabout it, who was involved, et
cetera, et cetera, and that's it.
(47:56):
Damn, my phone screen turnedoff on me.
Let me chew in.
Look at me in a minute.
Hold on, stop Not using my face, okay.
So Thanksgiving traditions we'regoing to try and round this out
.
I hope you guys have some goodones.
We are breaking tradition thisyear by going to a restaurant.
My mom's had enough of cooking.
I've never been to a restauranton Thanksgiving.
(48:16):
I don't believe or don't recallMaybe as a baby I might have,
but anything involving my memory, however old I am three and up,
whatever that is, if that is itI don't recall ever having gone
to a restaurant, I've gone tosomebody's house or I've been
home.
So the year before I left uh,the Thanksgiving before I left
(48:38):
to Florida, I spent it with mygirl, alicia, at her house.
I was dating the worst kind ofperson there was at the time Uh,
really toxic, narcissisticGemini.
I guess we're all like that atsome point, but he was the worst
.
He used to blame everything onme, which is why I left.
So more of the story is don'tdate someone like that.
(48:59):
So I had told him like, hey,alicia is going to cook, why
don't we go over there?
So we spare the kitchen and anycleanup and whatever, because I
know how that's going to go.
We're going to invite peopleover to your house, it's going
to be a thing, and the peopleleft cleaning are going to be
you and I.
So he didn't want to go.
So I said all right, so I'mgoing to go.
Um, his friends came over.
(49:20):
I know it's not ideal to notspend Thanksgiving with your
significant other, but it wasvery stressed at that point.
It was very our relationshipwas very strained.
So I was just going to do whatI was going to do, regardless,
because I don't want to clean.
On fucking Thanksgiving, theThanksgiving before that, I
(49:42):
think, I spent it with my uncle.
Yes, so I spent theThanksgiving before that with my
aunt and uncle and mygrandmother at her apartment in
Bay Ridge.
I drove over there.
I was spending the weekend withmy aunt and uncle after that.
So that was the plan that wasalready established before he
and I started dating that I wasgoing to spend Thanksgiving with
(50:02):
them and I was spendingChristmas with my family, who'd
already been in Florida.
So my Thanksgiving and myChristmas were already planned.
My New Year's I spent with theboyfriend at the time.
So the following Thanksgiving,which is Thanksgiving before I
left, I spent it with Alicia,which was Alicia and her
daughters, which was way morefun.
(50:23):
We talked a lot of shit, we hada lot of fun, we drank a little
bit and I just didn't want togo home.
I came home and there werestill some people.
Mind you, I was living with himbecause we were supposed to
move to Florida and he changedhis mind and I got fucking stuck
because COVID.
So I gave up my nice studioapartment to move into this
(50:44):
house.
That seemed like a frat housebecause it was his stepmother's
house and he had a roommate,okay, so I was confined to a
bedroom for most of COVID, andthat's not me.
I need my space, I need akitchen, I need a space to the
bathroom.
I need to not be tiptoeingaround people.
I need my space, which I nowhave.
(51:05):
I uh.
I came home.
His straggler friends were stillaround.
Um, I was like, hey, how's itgoing?
Then, of course, you know, Iwent upstairs to relax and he
left everything a fucking messthat night.
And then the next day I woke upand he's like banging around,
(51:25):
all pissed off and shit, and I'mplaying video games because I
told his ass to just come withme so we didn't have to be
cleaning up.
So he got pissed off and he waslike is anyone going to fucking
help me clean?
And I was like you know what?
I'm not going to help you clean, because I told you about this
and you said, no, it would befine.
Why didn't you have yourfucking friends help you clean
(51:45):
up?
You just let them leave withouthelping you.
So this is you, this is all you.
If I planned something and youtold me not to do it and that we
had plans to do something elseto make our lives easier, I
would have listened to you,because I know you're not going
to help me clean up because thiswas my idea.
So why am I going to go out ofmy way to help you when I gave
(52:08):
you a suggestion that could haveprevented all of this?
We even could have had yourstupid busty ass friends dusty
ass friends, excuse me, bustyfriends.
He has one busty friend.
She had big cats your dustyfriends over to my friend's
house and we could have justchilled there.
It was always a problem, butanyway.
So my Thanksgiving was spentwith Alicia, and on my Christmas
(52:30):
I spent with my family down infucking Florida.
So I never spent a Christmas orThanksgiving with him, because
thankfully, that's what I'mthankful for Not having negative
energy like that around me.
On Thanksgiving and the yearbefore that, I made Thanksgiving
lunch, which was shrimp andpasta.
So for Thanksgiving, before Idrove to my grandmother's, I
(52:53):
cooked people food early in theday so that we could at least
have lunch together, and then Itook a two and a half hour drive
well, two hour drive to mygrandmother's in Brooklyn, where
I then spent dinner with them.
So not only did I try and do agood thing, but he worked at
Best Buy at the time, so thatmeant he was going into work
later.
So what was I supposed to do?
(53:14):
Spend Thanksgiving all day withhim and then just be left alone
at night to do nothing?
No, I'm going to spend it withmy family that I made this plan
with earlier that year, beforewe even started dating.
How about that?
How about that?
So, in any case, we're breakingtradition this year and we're
going to a restaurant.
I was talking to my formermanager yesterday about this and
(53:36):
I said I've never been to arestaurant on Thanksgiving and I
hope it goes well.
Um, I don't even know whattheir menu is going to look like
, or how it's catered toThanksgiving, or if it's just
going to be steak, steak hits,steak hits every time.
Um, brandon's like Brandon's,my manager.
He was like you have to let meknow how that goes.
Um, that homie is off today too.
(54:00):
I took off today and Friday Idid this.
I don't even know when.
To be honest with you, I reallydo not know, but I was looking
at it and I was like when did Irequest off for this?
Because I was just lookingaround in Genesis because I
didn't know how to request timeoff for this position.
It's new to me, but theyactually use the fucking time
off function in our, in our app,which I'm like, wow, make my
(54:20):
life so easy.
But yeah, so everything's a loteasier.
Everything's going a lot moresmoothly.
I'm hoping everything is greatgoing into 2025.
We'll have more time betweennow and then.
It's going to be weeklyepisodes again 2025.
We'll have more time betweennow and then.
It's going to be weeklyepisodes again, like it has been
.
Thankfully, I'm thankful forthat.
I'm thankful to get back intomy routines.
I'm thankful to have clearerframe of mind.
(54:48):
I'm thankful for my friends, mypeople who listen, thankful for
anybody who's listening.
These days it's less and less.
Tell your friends about this,shit, shit.
Okay, let's move this along.
Um, I'm getting ready to streamon twitch soon, if you feel
like it.
Um, my links should be in thefucking episode bios.
I have to start including thoseagain because for some reason,
it's not there.
So, um, going live soon.
(55:11):
Uh, hope to see you guys.
I hope, hope you guys get anice mouth of turkey or pork, or
like pernil as they say.
White people say it.
I say pernil or ham, whateveryou guys fucking hang around
with, don't know.
Tofurky people can go eat shit.
I'm not doing turkey in theshape of tofu, like I'm not
(55:34):
doing tofu in the shape of aturkey, excuse me, fuck tofurkey
, fuck, um.
What was the chicken inside ofa turkey?
Stop stuffing turkeys withother other poultry.
It's unnecessary.
You're like assaulting a turkeywith another fucking dead
animal.
Okay, stop, just have theturkey gluttons.
(55:54):
Probably doesn't even tastegood either.
Oh, anyone who's eating chickenfor Thanksgiving, good for you.
Save the turkeys, whatever.
No tofurkey, though.
You can, like I said, fuckinggo play in traffic.
Anyways, don't actually go playin traffic, but just fuck off,
okay, all right.
Well, I love you guys.
This has been amazing Thankfulfor you guys, and has been
amazing, uh, thankful for youguys, and I hope you have a
(56:16):
wonderful holiday.
I will let you know how thatgoes.

Uh, this episode and the next,I'm going to see if I can record
each of my family memberssaying what they're thankful for
.
Hopefully my grandmotherdoesn't say anything crazy, but,
um, yeah, I think it should begood.
So I'm just going to havepeople pass around the
microphone and say what they'rethankful for.
We're going to do it at home,though, so that there isn't any
(56:38):
noise, and I'll be able to postit, I think, either tomorrow or
I'll post it Friday, and then,you know, you guys can compare
notes Should be a good time.
Love you guys.
Thank you so much for listeningand, again, enjoy your upcoming
holiday.
I hope it's a blast.
