Speaker 1 (00:42):
What's up people?
I know I'm a day late, but Iwas very tired yesterday, very
lazy, I should say Not tired,just lazy.
And the reason being is thatI'm just tired.
I either get good sleep one dayor shitty sleep the next, so
today might be a shorty.
So, depending upon how much Ihave to talk about, which I

(01:03):
don't have many things tocomment on.
This week I did do my best totry and observe shit, but ain't
nothing happening.
So I am working from home fulltime.
So I'm going to have like lessinteraction with people outside,
which is amazing, and foranyone who knows me, knows that
that is going to be thehighlight of my career.
So for the next couple ofmonths I will be home and it's

(01:27):
going to be nice and quiet and Ican't fucking, can't, fucking
wait.
I mean, it's been this entireweek has just been so, you know,
perfect, and there's been noissues and no one's coughed in
my face, no one's coughed nearme, because nobody's home except
me.
Very blessed, very blessed tohave like a very convenient job

(01:48):
that will let me do this.
But the hassle let me tell yousomething Trying to get that
work accommodation form filledout was like the worst fucking
thing ever, and I'm gonna tellyou why.
It's because, I excuse me, I hadto click that.
I had to go back and forth withmy doctor's office and with my
job because they won't acceptjust a doctor's note stating for

(02:09):
me to work from home.
My employer has a specific formthey want filled out and if it
isn't filled out to their liking, they will reject it or they
will give you some bullshitsidesteppy here.
Well, here's what we can do.
That's not what I asked for.
What I asked for is full-timefrom work, like full-time at
home, excuse me while working,because my job can be done from

(02:30):
home.
There is no real reason andI've had this conversation
internally with a whole bunch ofmy coworkers there is no reason
why I need to come into thisoffice.
There's really no reason.
It's just you guys want to makesure people are doing their job
.
You know how you make surepeople are doing their job by
making and keeping them happy.
The only way that I'm going tobe happy doing my job and
continue doing it, the way I doit, which is very well, is by

(02:53):
being home in my own environment, where I don't have to leave my
house and get pissed off attraffic and you know, deal with
people in the office who like tosneeze and cough and just come
into the office regardless oftheir health and shit and put
everybody else at risk.
Like we sit right on top of eachother.
It's not like we're separatedby much, we're separated by
maybe like an inch of cubicleand that's it.
And then some of them are justopen because a lot of us are

(03:14):
back to back in the same littlecubby hole and I'm like dude, I
don't want to do this.
Like this is the most miserableI could ever be at a job is,
you know, trying to work and I'mlistening to these stupid
fucking guys talk about creatineprotein powder and oh, I just
stopped it.
Shut the fuck up, bruh, shut up.
It is eight in the morning.
Like you know, there's so manyother things we could talk about

(03:35):
.
Okay, I don't want to hearabout your protein creatine
nonsense.
Like I legitimately just havean air pod in all day because I
can't take it.
I'd rather hear half aconversation than a full one
from those jerks behind me.
They're not jerks, they're nicecoworkers, but just sometimes
it's a little too early.
It's just a little too early tohave certain conversations and
that's one of them Like gympractices and all this stuff.

(03:55):
Shut the fuck up.
Just shut up now.
Get away from me In any case.
So I started doing somerewatching of things.
Oh right, hold up.
Did I talk about this?
I did not talk about this.
No, I mentioned it last time.
Okay, so I've been rewatchingsome movies, specifically the

(04:19):
Saw series, and I have to tellyou that there's like a bunch of
things you don't noticeinitially when you watch those
movies that you notice thesecond time around.
So I'm going to give you a goodexample of this.
One is that a lot of the cops onthe cases are profiling Jigsaw,
right, they're profiling theserial killer, which technically

(04:41):
he isn't, because he's givingyou a choice and if you die
that's because of you, not him,but he's like the mastermind
behind the traps.
Could you imagine dude, anengineer being a murderer?
That's so crazy.
But it's so cool because hejust thinks up the craziest ways
to punish people for takingadvantage of their life and not
being grateful.
Like you know, I already saidI'm like, if I get caught in one

(05:05):
of those traps, I'm not goingto be one of those people who
sits there and panics for likehalf the allotted time they have
Like, oh no, what is this Bitch?
You know what it is.
You went to bed normal, youwoke up and now your face is in
a cage.
What do you think this is about?
This is some saw shit.

(05:28):
This is a jigsaw puzzle.
Get it Jigsaw puzzle.
That's stupid.
And another thing we're notdoing here is puns.
So, yeah, watching Saw andwatching those are the two big
things.
The cops who are profilingJigsaw still act like they have
no idea who this guy is.
Secondly, people who know aboutJigsaw who don't understand
that when shit is not normal andthey're either chained to

(05:50):
something or have somethingchained around their face, their
abdomen, whatever it is thatthey still are panicking Like
they don't know.
They have like maybe 60 secondsto do something before they get
killed.
It's every movie too, everyfucking movie I watched and me
and the boyfriend are watchingfucking these Saw movies and

(06:10):
every time I go.
You can't be serious Like youcan't be for real about this.
Okay, there is a 90% chancethat you should already know,
going into this situation, thatyou were taken and brought into
this fucking maze of bullshit.
You have to do.
They did like.

(06:32):
You can't.
I'm sorry, you can't, okay, youcan't be like, oh, what
happened?
Why is this thing on my face?
Oh my God, oh my God, startpanicking.
You can't, because if you livein a jigsaw world and you know
why people are, you know whythis is happening to people not

(06:52):
why, but that this is happeningto people.
You can't just, you know, gostart panicking anyway, because
you're wasting time.
That's the thing.
So, like I'm watching thesepeople struggle, trying to take
the shit off of them and I'mlike you're wasting time, bitch.
You're wasting time and Icannot wait to see what happens,
because this is what he'stalking about.
You are wasting time in yourlife by doing bad shit and

(07:15):
people notice.
The wrong person noticed and didthis to you, but maybe you
deserved it a little bit.
You know what I mean.
Maybe you deserved it a littlebit.
It a little bit.
You know what I mean.
Maybe you deserved a little bit.
Someone ignoring their kid anda whole bunch of other shit, and
it's like maybe you deserved it.
I feel like you did a littlebit.
You had a nice family.
You have a whole bunch of otherstuff going for you.
He also taps into people's rage.

(07:36):
I think which one was that Idon't remember which one it was
with the doctor, uh, with the ERtrauma doctor, and the fucking
guy with the, with the kid whogot killed in the car accident.
I remember if it was this.
No, the second one was thehouse, I think the third one,
yes, the third one, I think, wasthat one where the doctor has

(07:57):
to keep him alive or else the,uh, the thing around her neck
will go off and it's all likeshotgun bullets to the face.
It's crazy.
It was the craziest thing I'veever seen, but very well built.
Obviously I hope you don't hearany of the background noise
because they're mowing outsideand it's just really loud.
But yeah, the third one wasgood.
I liked that one.

(08:18):
The second one was okay.
He was trying to teach him alesson about about patients,
fucking what's his name?
Donnie Wahlberg's character, thepolice officer Jigsaw, takes
his son and puts him in a housewith a whole bunch of like
criminals who were arrested bythe little boy's son father,

(08:38):
excuse me.
So Donnie Wahlberg's son is inthe house with a couple of perps
who Donnie Wahlberg hadarrested.
So of course that's crazy.
They don't find that out tillthe end.
But this big beefy motherfucker.
The way he gets killed isabsolutely hilarious, because
how does he die?
Anyway, I've watched like 10 ofthese movies.

(08:59):
I think that's all that's outis 10.
And I'm waiting for the nextone to come out, because I think
that's gonna be dope.
And what's funny is that, youknow, watching Letter Kenny and
seeing McMurray, I recognizecertain actors face.
So the one spiral, the one withChris Rock, has McMurray in it
in the beginning and that'shilarious.
So any of you who watch LetterKenny out there maybe not a lot

(09:19):
of people, but anybody who'swatched Letter Kenny and knows
the character McMurray I waslike, bro, that guy talks with
his full mouth.
Because McMurray is likeconsidered a mumbler on the show
.
You can't ever understand whathe's saying and the spelling bee
is the craziest piece ofevidence of that.
Because he tries to play theyhave an adult spelling bee and

(09:40):
he tries to play it up too hard.
So it's almost like he had astroke because he's not opening
his mouth enough to talk.
So he's like that's what I saidand it's like no, bro, that's
not what you said.
I love Tannis too, because shebrought the tape recorder and
recorded him because she saw itin the movie Dick Tracy, like
it's just simple minded shitlike that that keeps me
entertained lately, like myboyfriend watched the last

(10:02):
episode of Invincible yesterdayand everything that happened in
that show.
I'm like looking at him likehow can you watch such sad shit?
Meanwhile, I grew up watchingLaw and Order SVU, where every
other episode some girl wasassaulted.
And then I'm just like, oh yes,stabler, let's get that done.
Benson, you're useless, huh?
I don't really care aboutOlivia Fucking.

(10:23):
What was his name?
John Stabler, I don't remember.
Detective Stabler was out hereclotheslining bitches who ran
from him.
And Olivia Benson's like oh, da, da, da.
Like she's got her own shitgoing on where she just strolls
up casually or like jogs up Likeshe was going to do anything
anyway.
Anyway, I'm getting off topic.
Fuck.
But those Saw movies there's awhole bunch of things that I

(10:47):
noticed and there's a whole lotof this might seem really sexist
, so I don't really know how tosay it, so I'm just going to say
it.
I feel like men have a higherdeath rate in Jigsaw's puzzles
than women, and I think it'sbecause women can be feral.
Okay, women can go dog, shitcrazy at the drop of a hat.

(11:08):
And the other thing is is thatmen, if I can say this, men
think that they're just going tobreak a fucking machine open
with their bare hands.
And I'm going to tell yousomething.
Whoops, sorry about that.
I hit the button.
The thing about that is is thatthat's fine that you think in a

(11:32):
previous life you could justyou know, I'm going to rip this
metal open.
You're not a Viking bro.
We grew out of that.
We grew out of that when wedidn't have to like hunt and
fight our meals.
Sorry about the oops buttonpush.
I was trying to fix somethingon the bottom of it and I set it
off.
My bad Females are more likeyou know what.
I'm going to kill everymotherfucker in this room until

(11:53):
I figure out how to get out ofthis.
And that's exactly what happenedin one of those movies too.
That's another funny part, isthat?
That's what I noticed.
Is that this one bitch in Ithink it was.
Was it the final one?
I think it was saw the finalact or something, where he had a
where the bad cop fucking setit up so that they they thought

(12:15):
they all had to be against eachother, but they all realized
that the end, like the two orthree at the end had to figure
it out that they had to worktogether and it just didn't work
.
Um, but the timelines are allfucked up too, like I have to.
I really don't understand thetimelines of some some of them,
cause they seem to cross overeach other a lot.
So there's that.
But, um, yeah, so I'm justgoing to have to deal with that.

(12:38):
Uh, conclave was good.
I watched Conclave and what Ilearned is that they just like
to stress out Ralph Fiennes fortwo and a half hours.
That's what I learned.
It was very good in the waythat it was.
It's adapted from a book of thesame name.
Kind of want to read the book.

(13:00):
I think it's on my Amazon list.
I might read it because theymight have more detail, because
sometimes you read a book andyou watch a movie and there's a
lot of stuff left out, becauseI'm pretty sure Harry Potter
would have definitely been alonger book and a longer movie
had they put all those detailsin there, and I'm pretty sure
they skipped over a lot.

(13:20):
I haven't watched Harry Potter.
For me, that movie is notreally a rewatch.
I know a lot, a lot of peoplearound the holidays like to
rewatch that and that's that'snot for me.
Not to say that you can't do it, just saying that I don't need
to rewatch that movie.
So, um, I really don't need torewatch Harry Potter, but I can

(13:41):
rewatch shows.
Has background noise, and I wasanother thing that I did this
week, which is really funny,because I've had a lot of time
in between my projects at work.
I've been watching StrangerThings.
I got back into a real heavy,and what's funny is that I
watched like a season a day.
So I'm on season four now.

(14:02):
So I watched season two onTuesday, season three on
Wednesday, yesterday.
Yesterday, I took a breakbecause I was halfway through
season four by the end ofWednesday night, because I'm one
of those people who cannotwatch new shows when they go to
bed because I'll be up all night.
Example is the first season ofthe Sinner sinner.

(14:25):
Um, it was.
It's such a good show too.
I wish they would have broughtit back, but they canceled it.
Um, because no one watches shiton USA.
Is USA even a channel?
I don't even know what channelsexist anymore, but, um, yeah,
so I watched the sinner and eventhough I had to work, I got to
work from home the next day.
It was miserable because Ithink I stayed up until like 3am
and had to be up at like seven.
It was so miserable.

(14:53):
But I did watch the entirefirst season and was like holy
shit, that's what happened toher.
That's like my reaction toanything.
Jessica Biel plays a woman whokilled someone on the beach
because she was triggered by asong, as she heard, and they
have to figure out why ithappened.
And, um, bill Pullman is in it,right, hold on, let me just
double check what his name is.
They had a lot of good seasons.

(15:13):
I forgot a lot of the shit.
Let's see.
Yes, bill Pullman playsdetective Harry Ambrose, and
Jessica Biel is in the firstseason.
Her name is Cora, so he'sbasically trying to prove a
point that she's trying to provethe point.
He's trying to prove the pointthat she didn't just do this.

(15:34):
This wasn't something that wasunder her control.
It was something from mentalstress, from a situation she was
in and he had to, like, go sodeep into this thing to figure
out what happened.
And you just have to watch it.
Okay, the center.
All of those seasons are good.
They had Matt Bomer in one ofthe seasons.

(15:56):
They had um, who else was in it?
There's not too many memorablepeople, because the only two
seasons I remember are the firstand second one, which is kind
of bad.
But once you like finishwatching something like that
like I'm so quick to let shit goafter I've watched things that
it's just really good of me tojust drop it because I'll obsess

(16:18):
.
I'm one of those people I usedto do that at work too, like I
never knew how to leave my stuffat work and then I took meds
but I was able to just likeclock out and leave it at work
and everybody was alwaysimpressed by that.
And I'm like, because I'm notgetting paid after my time to
think about this shit anymore,so why am I going to do it?
Can't be that honest.

(16:42):
But you know, sorry, I had totake a sip of something.
So let's see what else can wetalk about.
Because, yeah, conclave, sorry.
So Conclave is about.
I'm going to read you a littlesynopsis of it, because, even
though I know what it's about, Idon't want it to sound or come
off stupid.
So let's see Conclave synopsis.

(17:02):
All right, here we go.
So Conclave is a 2024 politicalthriller film directed by
Edward Berger and written byPeter Straughn, based on the
2016 novel by Robert Harris.
The film stars Ralph Fiennes,stanley Tucci, john Lithgow,
sergio Castelletti Castellito,excuse me and Isabella
Rossellini, who is a fantasticnun in that movie me and

(17:26):
Isabella Rossellini, who is afantastic nun in that movie.
In the film, cardinal ThomasLawrence, which is Ralph
Fiennes' character, organizes aconclave to elect the next pope
and finds himself investigatingsecrets and scandals about the
major candidates.
So in the beginning, you seethe pope is passing.
They're praying around his bed.
John Lithgow's character'sthere.
Stanley Tucci's character'sthere.
Ralph F praying around his bedUh, john Lithgow's characters
there.
Uh, stanley Tucci's charactersthere.
Ralph Fiennes' characterthey're all in the.

(17:47):
They're all around the bedwhile they're pretty much
praying as like a way to saygoodbye to the Pope.
And, um, ralph Fiennes becomeslike fucking Nancy Drew over
there and starts to put puzzlepieces together of things.
And, obviously, john Lithgow'scharacter he's.
Has he ever played a goodperson besides being on third
rock from the sun, where he wasa fucking alien?

(18:08):
No, so immediately, fingersstart getting pointed at him for
certain shit.
Um, you just find out one thingafter the other and you're like
oh my God, what?
That's what I did for a goodportion of the movie.
And, uh, this is what I meanwhen I say like all they did was
stress fucking Ralph Fiennesout for hour for the audience's
two and a half hours and it'slike all right, what did I learn

(18:31):
?
At the end I was like I'm sorry, he said what.
He said what now?
I even texted my mom.
I was like I'm sorry, he saidwhat now?
And she goes yeah, I know right, like that's the response
Because she knew I was watchingthe movie.
And I got towards the end andI'm like I'm at the end now
where they're talking to whothey elected as pope, and I'm
like I'm sorry, he said whatkind of surgery.
And that was it.

(19:03):
But there's a whole bunch of outsomething, a conversation
between John Lithgow and thePope.
I'm not going to give away toomuch of this movie because I do
want people to see it who arelistening, but the amount of
bullshit.
If you don't know what aconclave is, apparently I'll
tell you what it is.
It is a sequestering or agrouping of deacons or sorry
cardinals who all get togetherand have to choose the next Pope

(19:24):
, but they're cut off from theoutside world so they can't
leave the property on whichthey're on.
They cannot use cell phones orany electronic devices for
outside shit.
They're literally fenced in,like the type of technology that
was in the purge is whatthey're using to keep these guys
in until they come to adecision.
And then outside the wallsthere's a whole bunch of like

(19:45):
bombings and shit going on whichyou know plays into it in a way
, because then they all have to.
They all shift politically tolike kind of a racial
conversation about what's goingon and who should be next
because of this race or whatever.
And it's just reallyinteresting because as much as
you hear about it aboutconclaves and stuff which isn't
isn't much you just wait for thesmoke to come out the top to

(20:09):
let you know that someone's beenchosen.
Uh, you don't hear much aboutit.
And the reason why I watchedthis movie is and I have to tell
you this is also why I need tostop going into the office,
because I was going to offendsome people very soon.
This guy that works in myoffice was having a conversation

(20:29):
.
He's a manager.
He was having a conversationwith a bunch of other people
like peers of mine.
So a manager is having aconversation with some peers of
mine.
So employees at his level andfrom his level, looking down,
it's employees.
Sorry, I'm explaining this allkinds of weird, but they were
having a conversation aboutconclave or they were actually
cause this is what was coming up.
Ash Wednesday was coming up andthey were talking about getting

(20:51):
their ashes and then theystarted talking about religion
and stuff and I'm like, do youknow that?
In my head I'm like do you knowthat's not appropriate to say
here any of this.
Like we have this conversationin WebEx, ping each other,
message each other.
Nobody wants to hear anythingabout your like, religious
affiliations and all this shit.
Like I don't hate, I used to bereligious back in the day, not

(21:12):
so much anymore, sorry, jesus.
But you know, keep that shitout of here.
There's like a whole separationof church and state thing.
We are working.
Talk about this shit on yourown time.
I know y'all are friendsbecause y'all talk the most
bullshit.
We got this lady over heretalking about her divorces and
shit at the top of her lungs, ortalking about breastfeeding at

(21:33):
the top of her lungs and allthis other stuff and I'm kind of
like, oh my God, this is theone that I kept saying save it
for the Christmas party.
Her Save it for, like holidayparties where we're all like
bored and no topics and she'slike, oh, you want to hear about
my life?
And everybody just leans inlike for sure, since we have
nothing else to talk about buthim.
He was cool up till this momentand this is the moment that got

(21:56):
me mad.
He said that if you really wantto watch a movie about Conclave
or anything that has to do withit, he said watch Angels and
Demons, which is the sequel tothe Da Vinci Code.
And I almost threw my entiredesk at him.
Conclave is historical.

(22:18):
You're talking about afictional character and all this
other shit in a potentiallyhistorical setting.
Like we're talking about seeingformulas in front of us and
shit.
We're talking about going tothe Vatican and just being in

(22:38):
that area.
We're not talking about anentire movie.
We're not comparing twoconclave movies, it's not.
We're talking about Tom Hanksrunning around with the most
bogus haircut I've ever seen ofthat year and we're talking
about a movie where it's basedsolely on the conclave and all
those fucking priests andIsabella Rossellini being the

(23:01):
shit as a nun.
She was absolutely perfect inthat role.
She did like a mic drop in thatmovie that I was like, fuck yeah
, sorry, lord, fuck yeah, justlike that, because she gave a
crazy.
She gave like the shortestspeech or sentence that was ever
needed to put someone in theirplace in front of all the

(23:24):
cardinals that were there tomake this decision.
Okay, so like they're having aconversation.
It's getting heated over JohnLithgow's, not like John
Lithgow's loyalty and why wouldyou do all of this shit?
And he's pretending the Popetold him to do it and I'm not
pretending, but he's like thePope told me to do it and I
didn't ask why, or I wasn'tallowed to know the reason.

(23:45):
Isabella Rossellini pops up andshe goes you did this because
this, this and this boom.
And then fucking left and I waslike, oh, she goes.
I know as nuns we're supposedto be silent in the back.
She's like but I'm going tospeak in front of you.
And then she said the thing andfucking dipped and I was like,
bro, if there was ever a morespiritual mic drop, it's that

(24:05):
one.
It was an amen, bye, bitch,that's what it was.
It was a toodaloo of thehighest power.
But anyway, hadn't heard thatshit.
That shit brought back crazymemories of being at church and
not wanting to, and shesandwiches at my grandmother's
house afterwards because that'swhat we did on Sundays.
We used to go to church at theass crack of dawn and then we

(24:27):
would go to my grandparents'house and have brunch, which was
like the hardest Italian breadyou could think of, with bacon.
And my grandmother still madesome fire bacon back in the day
Don't know about now, but shedoesn't really like to cook much
.
She did show me her food,though, but she said she
couldn't.
She made what she made.
She made picadillo, which isbasically ground up.

(24:49):
It's like ground beef with awhole bunch of seasonings and
some green olives.
Throw it over rice.
It's a poor man's meal.
I throw, instead of greenolives, I throw diced potatoes,
because I don't really careabout olives, even though the
boyfriend does, but he doesn'tcare, he'll just eat it.
So she made it one day and sheshowed me her plate and she was
like unfortunately I got sickand couldn't eat it, but it

(25:09):
looks delicious and she's likeand now I have, she goes.
Now I have meat for she goes, Ihave meat for pasta tomorrow.
And I was like yum, because theway you season picadillo, if
you follow.
The fucking recipe is not howyou would season meat for for
Italian food.
So probably why you're sick,grandma.

(25:29):
Anyway, sorry, grandma, anyway,I love you very much, but you
know, still crazy.
Uh, some guy requested death byfiring squad.
Uh, I was looking at that theother day too.
He was like the last person toask for that and uh, I'm going
to look up this uh fuckingarticle really quick, cause it's
crazy of seven days ago Allright, south Carolina inmate

(25:56):
executed by firing squad forfirst time in the U?
S since 2010.
This was.
This was amazing.
I was like when the fuck didthey stop doing this?
This was amazing.
I was like when the fuck didthey stop doing this?
This is in Columbia, southCarolina.
A convicted double murderer hasbeen executed by firing squad,
the first such execution in theUnited States since 2010,.
According to the South CarolinaDepartment of Corrections.
The execution of Brad Sigmund,67, by the South Carolina

(26:19):
Department of Corrections onFriday is only the fourth firing
squad execution in the US sincecapital punishment was
reinstated in 1976, according tothe Death Penalty Information
Center.
Why is there a Death PenaltyInformation Center?
Who is reporting on this shit?
Like, yeah, I need to know.
Sigmund chose firing squad overthe two other state-approved
methods of execution lethalinjection or the electric chair.

(26:41):
He was pronounced dead by aphysician at 6.08 pm Eastern
Time.
Officials said at a newsconference Friday Sigmund was
convicted of the 2001bludgeoning deaths of his
ex-girlfriend's parents.
After their murders, sigmundkidnapped his ex-girlfriend at
gunpoint, but she managed toescape.
In a final statement shared byhis lawyer, sigmund said I want

(27:05):
my closing statement to be oneof love and a calling to my
fellow Christians to help us endthe death penalty.
But you chose fucking firingsquad, bro.
What do you mean?
Put an end to it.
What the fuck does that mean?
We're going to put an end to it, oh God, anyway, let me see.
Okay, sorry, they had someupdates on my fucking team chats
.
He quoted several Biblepassages that emphasize

(27:27):
forgiveness and the law.
Nowhere does God in the NewTestament give man the authority
to kill another man, he said.
One of Sigmund's attorneys,gerald Boe King said shortly
after the execution that hisclient's death was horrifying
and violent.
Yeah, his fucking firing squadis basically choosing to get
shot to death Like what he choseone of.
Okay, he chose the firing squadknowing that three bullets

(27:48):
would shatter his bones anddestroy his heart.
King sent a statement, but thatwas the only choice he had
after the state's threeexecutions by lethal injection
inflicted prolonged andpotentially torturous deaths on
men he loved like brothers Okay.
King described Sigmund as a manwho has devoted himself to his
faith and to ministry andservice to all around him, who
committed no acts of violenceduring his 23 years in prison.

(28:09):
King said the state had failedto provide information about
drugs used in a lethal injection.
Brad only wanted assurancesthat these drugs were not
expired or diluted or spoiledwhat any of us would want to
know about the medication wetake or the food we eat, much
less the means of our death, hesaid.
Sigmund became the oldestperson executed by the state,
according to King.
In the hours ahead of Sigmund'sscheduled execution, several

(28:31):
protesters gathered outside theprison where he's incarcerated,
calling for an end to capitalpunishment.
They held banners proclaimingall life is precious and no more
killing.
South Carolina RepublicanGovernor Henry McMaster declined
a bid for clemency from Sigmund.
Friday evening, attorneys forSigmund filed a petition for
executive clemency with thegovernor asking to commute his
death sentence to lifeimprisonment without parole.

(28:52):
Saying in a news release,sigmund committed his crimes and
stood trial on the grip of anundiagnosed inherited mental
illness.
Here we go, bro.
You can't always blame it onthat.
You can't always blame it onthat.
Let's see how firing squadexecutions work.
This is what I want to get to.
Sigmund's execution took placeat the Broad River Correctional

(29:12):
Institution in Columbia, southCarolina, where all executions
in the state are carried out.
Sigmund received let me seeSigmund received his special
requested meal Wednesday night.
He was given an individual mealfrom Kentucky fried chicken
that include mashed potatoes andgreen beans.
Bro, you fucking fell with thegreen beans In 2022,.
The South Carolina Department ofCorrections detailed the room

(29:35):
setup and protocols for how afiring squad execution would be
carried out.
The rifles used by thethree-member firing squad would
would be carried out.
The rifles used by thethree-member firing squad would
not be visible to witnesses.
The department said at the timeall three rifles will be loaded
with live rounds.
I would hope so.
What the fuck?
The firing squad is thought tocause nearly instant
unconsciousness, and death froman exsanguinating hemorrhage

(29:55):
follows shortly thereafter.
Dr jonathan groener, emeritusprofessor of clinical surgery at
the Ohio State UniversityCollege of Medicine, told CNN
Sunday the longest fuckingsentence to describe a college,
the three or four executionersfiring large caliber bullets.
Caliber bullets at the heartwould instantly stop the blood
flow to the brain which, like acardiac arrest, causes rapid

(30:16):
loss of brain function.
Jeffrey Collins, a reporter forthe Associated Press and one of
the witnesses to the execution,said at a news conference that
Sigmund wore a black jumpsuitand was completely strapped into
a chair.
Was he going to do run?
King read Sigmund's finalstatement before a hood was
placed over his head.
His arms were bare, but noother skin was visible.
Shots rang out at 6.05.

(30:37):
Witnesses involuntarilyflinched when the shooting began
.
A small red stain appeared onSigmund's chest, he said.
A doctor performed anexamination for about 90 seconds
and Sigmund was declared deadat 6.08,.
According to Collins and theSouth Carolina Department of
Corrections, it took him threeminutes.
Witnesses were unable to seethe guns.
According to Anna Dobbins, areporter for WYFF who also acted

(31:01):
as a witness for the execution,the three shots rang out at the
same time, she said.
Collins, who has witnessed allthree methods of execution, said
that the firing squad was muchquicker than other methods.
The time from the shots beingfired to the time death was
declared was a little over twominutes.
He described a very somber,quiet environment inside the
execution chamber.

(31:22):
Each of the three executionersis an employee of the Department
of Corrections and volunteeredto be part of the team.
Whatever, the firing squadfired from 15 feet away and
witnesses could see the rightside profile of the condemned
inmate.
Each of the executioners firedonce from their rifles using a
308A Winchester Tap UrbanBullets, shane said at the news

(31:42):
conference.
The bullet provides rapidexpansion and fragmentation.
Holy fuck, let's see, but that'scrazy.
Could you imagine?
Hey, I want to get shot todeath.
That is absolutely crazy.
I will plug in my device when Ifeel like it.
Sorry, my laptop's trying toyell at me to hey, your
battery's low.
That's crazy.

(32:05):
In 2021 is when they passed thelaw allowing execution by firing
squad but named the electricchair the state's primary means
of execution.
Okay, stop, bruh.
I don't know what keeps fucking.
I know, bruh, I know, plug itin.
Don't tell me what to do.
How much time do I have left onthis thing?
Hold up.
I have 38 minutes Shut up.

(32:28):
Anyway, sorry, I had to look atthe battery.
So that's, that's really crazyabout that.
That guy chose to get shot todeath.
I mean, there's probably.
You know, I don't trust lethalinjection either, only because I
do hear that it can be painfulif they fuck it up and I don't
know that that's gotten anybetter.
But uh, yeah, I don't know whoknows.

(32:52):
Uh, other big thing that,honestly, who cares to be honest
with you?
Um, you know how I w I wentover how fucking Ellen DeGeneres
and Portia de Rossi are movingto.
Who cares?
To the UK, sorry, moving to theUK.

(33:12):
What is this?
What's happening?
What happened here?
What happened here?
And K logistics is part of abigger GL.
What does that even mean?
I don't know what that means.

(33:33):
Let me see something.
Clients, no activity.
Let's see, she said thatsomething about one of my
clients is bigger.
Are they a hand?
Okay?
So what the fuck does thatmatter?
What does it matter thatthey're bigger?

(33:54):
A hand k logistics okay, uh, sowhat does that mean?
It's delayed.
Yeah, that's the one havingissues with.

(34:19):
Yeah, anyway.
So my boss doesn't listen, orshe does listen, because I'm
having issues with one of theseclients and getting their third
party to work with me and I'mjust not in the mood to deal
with it today and it's a Friday.
Leave me alone.
So, in regards to celebritiesmoving out of country, we have
another one, leaving RosieO'Donnell Bye bitch.

(34:39):
I don't know how many peoplecare about her, but Rosie
O'Donnell is out the dough toIreland, apparently.
The actress and comedian posteda video on TikTok on Tuesday in
which she shared that she'smoved to Ireland with her child
Clay in mid-January, sayingalthough I was never someone who
thought I would move to anothercountry, that's what I decided
would be the best for myself andmy 12-year-old child.

(35:01):
She made enough money off ofthe US.
I guess she's going to go toIreland and figure it out.
O'donnell explained that shemoved to Ireland on January 15th
and is in the process ofgetting her Irish citizenship as
she has Irish grandparents.
Whatever, o'donnell, clearlyit's been pretty wonderful.
The people are so loving and sokind, so welcoming, and I'm

(35:22):
very grateful.
I miss my other kids, I miss myfriends, I miss many things
about life there at home and I'mtrying to find a home here in
this beautiful country.
And when it's safe for allcitizens to have equal rights
there in America, that's when wewill consider coming back.
Knew it, it's always like apretend thing to be like oh, I
want to explore other countriesand you know, live over there

(35:43):
and you know, see what it's like.
It always comes back topolitics.
We can't just do shit becausewe want to.
It has to be like, politicallymotivated now, like, oh, I'm
going to have butter pecan icecream because Trump told me to
like what?
No, it's the dumbest thing.
The League of their Own starcontinued.

(36:03):
It's been heartbreaking to seewhat's happening politically,
and hard for me personally aswell.
The personal is political, aswe all know, oh my God.
Later on in the video,o'donnell explained her
reasoning for sharing the newsof her move.
I just felt like we needed totake care of ourselves and make
some hard decisions and followthrough.
And now, as we're gettingsettled, I was ready to post
this and tell everyone what'sbeen going on.
Is ready to post this and telleveryone what's been going on.

(36:27):
O'donnell is not the onlycelebrity to move out of the US.
In recent months, personalitiesincluded Ava Longoria, who
cares, ellen DeGeneres, whodefinitely cares, richard Gere
nobody cares, for sure andothers have also moved on, moved
abroad.
Shut the fuck, shut the fuck up.
Like you can't just move thereand just be happy to have moved
there.
You have to put this is whatI'm saying.

(36:49):
Okay, this is what I mean.
Like there's so many thingsthat I've seen of.
Instead of just doing somethingbecause you want to, you always
have to have a message behind it.
Like nobody's sponsoring yourmove to Ireland, you chose to do
that.
Who are you advertising thisfor?

(37:11):
Like that's what I don'tunderstand.
Like people are just sayingshit, to say shit now, and it
makes no sense to me whycelebrities feel they have to be
like hey, we moved here, youcan too.
No, you know why we can't?
Because we don't have yourmoney, bitch.
We don't have your money, wedon't have fuck off money.
Okay, we have stay put money.

(37:32):
All right, if we all had fuckoff money, do you think like
people would still live in thiscountry if they could just leave
whenever they wanted to?
No, and I'm not going to gointo debt to do it either,
because you are not worthy offollowing either.
What has Rosie O'Donnellcontributed?
I have not heard about RosieO'Donnell in a good couple years
, up until this article whereshe's moving.

(37:54):
See how interesting that isPeople out here making
themselves look interesting byposting crazy shit about moving.
You already moved in January.
Stay gone silently, bitch.
Stay gone silently.
You moved already.
Move in silence.
Why are you letting people knowyour movements.
Never have I ever been moreirked at someone like that.

(38:16):
That's why I always used to getmad when people post their
fucking.
Oh I love him, oh I hate him,oh, I love this.
One more, though, on Facebookand shit, make your moves in
silence.
We all out here with thisbullshit of we listen and we
don't judge, but I'm judging andI'm listening.
Okay, there's so much judgment.
Me and my boyfriend do thatshit.

(38:37):
I'm like look at this shit.
And he goes Ooh, like like wedo the banter.
It's just, I don't want to dothe banter right now because
he's not here.
My allergies are killing meright now.
I'm gonna have to end thisearly soon Because I can't
breathe out my nose.
So, speaking of things thatdon't make sense, considering I

(38:59):
have my work accommodation to behome all the time, I've
actually been outside more thanI'd like.
No, I'm kidding, it's pretty.
My boyfriend took me to thisarea called Baldwin Park and
there's a nice little lake andyou can walk around it and it's
like two and a half miles, whichwe do in 45 minutes, which is a
lot of fun.
We talk and we kind of likeobviously we're drinking water
because it's crazy outside andit's just nice.

(39:21):
It's nice instead of being inthe gym.
And we decided, if we don't goto the gym, we're going to do
that, and we've been walking alot more than actually going to
the gym.
Like yesterday was my firsttime back in the gym and months
I think, because a lot of thetime I'll work out at home
instead, like I'd prefer to workout at home.
There's a lot of I have asthmaand there's like a lot of not

(39:42):
wanting to be around uncleanpeople in my life, like I don't
want to go to the gym and youknow smell someone's BO or you
know a whole bunch of otherstuff.
Or look at someone who's beenon a machine that's sweat all
over it and you know wipes itdown and it's still wet and
you're like, oh great, likeruins your day and I'm just not

(40:03):
up for that.
So we did go to the gymyesterday.
We went to his gym he doesn'tlike plan of fitness whatever
and, uh, we worked out.
We did strength workouts.
I didn't do any cardio.
I feel good.
I'm sure tomorrow, though,because usually my body feels it
like two days later Um, mybody's going to hurt.
That's all I'm going to say, uh, but yeah, my allergies are

(40:24):
trying to take me out, so I haveto go because I'm not going to
hurt.
That's all I'm going to say.
But yeah, my allergies aretrying to take me out, so I have
to go because I'm not going toblow my nose while I record this
, but I'm not going to keepsniffling either.
So, yeah, so working from homefull time but still seeing
outside is pretty interesting.
It's like backwards kind of,but the thing with that is is
that I walk around with him andthere's other people out there,

(40:44):
but their conversations, likethe sound that passes, lasts
about 20 seconds and then we'reback in silence just talking to
each other.
There was one lady, though,that made me mad and I'm like
this is why I don't like people,and this is before I go.
This is my last story.
We were walking on Wednesday itwas Wednesday, no Tuesday.
We went walking Tuesday.

(41:05):
This lady had on Crocs, waswalking her two boxers in front
of us and we we walk prettyquickly, um, so we were trying
to lap her.
So we go around her and, uh,we're, we're doing good, because
I prefer to speed up when I goaround people so that we're not
pacing because there's peoplewho like to ride their bikes and
rollerblade and shit and theymight crash into us.

(41:26):
We have this one chick scream,excuse me, like she was being
fucking chased by a rapist inthe park and it was just to get
to a point like maybe 25 feet infront of us, to stop and wait
for her friends to show up.
So I'm like no, she didn't yell, excuse me like that, like a
fucking idiot.
So and immediately.

(41:51):
The first thing I remember fromrunning is you're never supposed
to just stop on a dime.
You're supposed to walk it offa little bit first, then you can
stop.
So you let your heart calm downbecause your heart's been
pumping like crazy and if youjust stop like that, you have a
heart attack or anything else.
Let me see, did she sayanything back?
Okay, where?
So if it's part of a bigger GL,can you fucking tell me about

(42:13):
it?
Okay, she has no details for me.
So, anyway, back to this lady.
So the lady.
So we, we passed her, we get agood bit away from her, and then
I hear some running behind us.
So obviously we're to the rightside so they could pass us on
the left.
So she's running in Crocs, withher boxers in front of us again

(42:35):
, she like runs around us tostop in front of us again and
start her slow fucking walk.
And I like look at my boyfriendand I'm like this is why I
don't like to be around people,because they do stupid shit.
What did you do that for?
You're not wearing runningsneakers, you're wearing white
Crocs.
So of course, um, of course she.

(43:00):
We fucking pass her again andI'm like, bro, I swear to God,
if I see her pull up on us againand get in front of us and slow
us down again, I'm going tohave a fucking heart attack,
because there's no reason foryou to be running in Crocs to
step in front of us.
None whatsoever.
Like I can think of no reasonswhy that should be happening.

(43:22):
All right, stop doing this dumbshit for anybody who does that.
If you're going to run, run,your dogs don't want to run with
you.
They don't even want to walkwith you.
They want to sniff everythingand piss everywhere in this park
.
Okay, stop doing that shit.
Nobody thinks you're cute.
My boyfriend and I certainlydidn't think you were cute,
especially because it's two dayslater and I've thought about

(43:44):
this still think you were cute,especially because it's two days
later and I've thought aboutthis still.
So, in any case, that's it forme.
Sorry, there was a big pause inthe middle while I was doing
some work, but you guys are withme for the long haul and
there's just going to be work inbetween life, okay, and that's
what happens, but I love youguys.
Thank you so much for listeningand I'll try and be more on
track with my stuff.

(44:05):
You have a good day everybody.
Enjoy your upcoming weekend,because I'm recording on a
Friday.
Love y'all.
Bye, thank you.
