Today we discuss the type of personality you have to have to make me hate the name "Stephanie," and how to cope with nuisances during meetings. Pointless emails coming from people who have no reason to be emailing you are the bane of existence. Another thing that will never be understood; people who try to make themselves look good at the expense of others. We also delve into some headlines and round it out by discussing the movie "Contagion," from 2011.
Close your blinds, shut off your lights and put your phones on airplane mode because it's time to join me for another episode of "Coco Off the Grid."

Speaker 1 (00:41):
all right people, what's up?
We're back for week.
I thought it was gonna be alittle late in putting this out,
but since I am still by myselfbefore people get home, I
figured I would just take thetime out to speak with you guys
and hope you're having afabulous Thursday.
I'm trying to put these out ontime, but I've been feeling a
little tired lately.
I don't know if it's a seasonalaffect disorder or whatever's
(01:03):
going on, but I've been veryfucking tired.
Yesterday I came home, I took anap on my couch, I had some
cereal for dinner since I atelike a pig the rest of the day
and then I basically got on thestair stepper like a little
weirdo and worked out for abouthalf an hour, got in the shower
and then laid down in bedbecause I was over it by 9
o'clock and that's it.
(01:24):
I just sat in on the worstfucking meeting I've ever sat in
on my entire life as a welcomecall.
The one person in there wasjust so fucking irritating.
I kept talking shit to thepayroll person.
I was talking shit to thepayroll person just sitting
there chilling and like justsitting in the background, like
not saying it any way.
That could be like misconstrued, but I was like this one bitch
(01:45):
in there is just like sayingquestions and stuff Like so in
what I do now, there's a projectmanager who's like the
ringleader of all of us in mycompany.
So we have the project manager,we have me who runs my module,
and then we have several otherpeople on the call who run their
modules.
So I'm laughing because I'mlike, okay, cool, hold on a
second.
I didn't realize.
(02:07):
My sister texted me, oh well,so basically there's a project
manager who's the ringleader ofall of us, then there's me who
runs my module, there's otherpeople who run their module and
then there's the clients,whoever's going to be involved
in the implementation process,like such as setting up their
stuff process, like such assetting up their stuff, getting
credentials to log into shit,this, that and the third.
(02:33):
So this one bitch in there, theproject manager is very chill
and very calm because I'd havelost my shit 10 times over to
Sunday because the projectmanager mentioned that she's
going to send a list out of allthe information.
She's going to send a list outof everybody's names who was
involved in the call and anyother information recap of the
fucking call.
So why is this one bitch withthe glasses who's asking us to
be on camera, which I'm notturning my camera on, bitch
Cause if you see my face, you'regoing to know I don't like
(02:55):
working with you.
She, uh, kept asking questionsabout how to spell people's
names and shit, and I'd havebeen like I'd have been like I
wanted to interrupt.
So bad, I'm like hold up, holdup.
She just said she's going tosend you a list at the end of
everyone's fucking name.
Okay, so stop asking forbullshit so that you could pay
attention to the rest of thedetails, because I'm pretty sure
(03:17):
questions, mcnancy, you'regoing to have more questions
after you've asked her questions.
So to keep from all that shit,why don't you just going to have
more questions after you'veasked your questions?
So to keep from all that shit,why don't you just listen to
what the project manager issaying, so that she can get
through her spiel and we can bedone with this shit?
I don't want to sit in here foran hour and listen to your
nonsense.
She's asking to have fucking.
I was laughing because mycoworker goes.
She's asking for us to have herour cameras on for personalized
(03:41):
experience.
Meanwhile, she has apersonality of a snake and I
almost peed my pants.
I was like just absolutelyendless and like nothing's
directed towards me.
I'm just there for moralsupport.
If there is a question, I'mthere to answer, but I'm not
talking.
This isn't a conversation forme.
This is basically hi, here'swho's working with you.
The next call, supposedly akickoff call, which I don't know
(04:02):
why I have to be involved inthat too, but I'm going to opt
out.
I'm hoping they pick a day thatI have a call.
So I left that meetingprematurely because they were
like hey, so for credentialingpurposes, we're going to ask you
for some sensitive information.
So anyone who does not need tohear any of this information can
drop off of the call right now.
I dropped off.
I didn't even say bye, nothing,because if I said anything they
(04:23):
would want to talk to me andI'm not doing it.
I'm not doing that on Thursday.
Nuh-uh, I'm not talking.
I did my talking earlier.
This bitch was crazy.
There was three client contactswell, four, considering someone
showed up late and then wantedto apologize and thank everybody
for being included in the call,I almost fucking fell out of my
chair because that shit wasfunny too.
I was like ain't no way thisbitch is saying hey, what's up?
(04:45):
Thanks so much.
I'm having a big problem withmy WebEx chat right now.
Can everybody hear me?
Bitch, we can hear you.
You almost blew through mybrain with how hard I could hear
you, so I was just.
I'm just over it today.
I'm tired, I don't feel good, Ihave a headache, I'm a little
warm, but it's also warm in herebecause for some reason it
liked to snow.
In Florida it's snowing by mycousin, by my sister's college,
(05:10):
fsu.
It's not snowing down here overby Orlando.
We chilling literally.
It's like 40 something degreesoutside, so in any case.
So that's what I just wentthrough.
I went through a personal hellof dealing with someone who
seems like she's going to be thebiggest bitch to work with.
I oversee all modules.
Like she sounds, like she'sjust fucking mean.
Like what the fuck is themeanness about Talking about?
(05:34):
Oh I'm sorry, but didn't wediscuss oh I'm sorry Like
directing her questions assomeone who's not even leading
this fucking meeting?
Talk to him on the side.
Bitch, like unbelievable.
She's talking, talking, talkingand fucking the project
manager's trying to be cool andbite her tongue.
You know she is, because justfucking rude bruh and I'm just
(05:58):
like, oh my God, if I don't wantto be on a call with this woman
because she's going to ask mequestions and be like you know
what, I actually have a meetingin about 10 minutes that I
forgot about.
So I have to cut this short andthat's going to be it.
So I think that is going to be,that's that's.
I have to be brief with thembecause if not, I'm going to
lose my fucking shit.
(06:19):
Ok, that's what I'm going to do.
I'm going to lose my fuckingshit and they're just going to
have to deal with it Because Iswear to God, I won't.
So also, I was pissed offbecause I was talking to my mom
about this earlier this morningand I was like this project
manager, I don't like workingwith her because she mentioned
(06:39):
stuff to clients that clientsdon't know what she's talking
about.
So basically, what's happeningis she's mentioning chart of
accounts and journal entries andthen I get some dumb bitch,
some client, in my fucking emailyesterday asking me questions
about why we need that Cause weneed it.
Bitch, I'm not trying to stealyour data, I don't give a fuck.
I basically this is my email.
(07:00):
I'm going to read it out loudto you because I have it right
next to me, because I wasreading it to my mother and I
thought that was fuckinghilarious, let's see, okay.
So this woman emails me and shegoes hello, corinne me.
Obviously I'm wondering if youhappen to have time to discuss
what is needed from financedepartment with Catherine, our
finance director.
She has a few questions.
First of all, we just had aninformal welcome Tuesday.
(07:24):
Mind you, this is Wednesday.
She's emailing me so of courseI'm like okay, let me check the
system, see if I could talk toher what the deal is.
Whatever, nobody's been set upyet.
You know why?
Because they don't exist in thesystem yet.
They don't even have a databasefor me to pull any information
from.
They have nothing going on.
Nothing going on but the rent,okay.
So they had nothing going on.
Nothing going on but the rent,okay.
So I responded back sayingpolitely fuck you, no, I'm
(07:47):
kidding.
I said good morning, theperson's name.
I'd love to be able to send youmy general ledger template for
review, but since there hasn'tbeen anything set up in the
system as of yet, there isn't away what the fuck is that?
There isn't a way for me tosend that to you at this moment
without it being bounced backfor security purposes.
Currently, from the ADP side,you're not showing as an
(08:09):
authorized contact, but thatwill change.
As soon as you start up withpayroll, we can revisit this
matter and I can send thetemplate as soon as more is set
up from the ADP side.
Thank you so much for reachingout.
All the best.
There you go, okay.
So now let's see, let's see,let's see, let's see, let's see,
let's see.
What the fuck is this bruh?
(08:29):
He must be looking for theperson who's talking shit in his
chat.
Sorry, so she goes.
She's wondering why you needthe chart of accounts.
I can't explain that to her.
She could Google what a chartof accounts is and explain that
to her.
So here we go.
I said hey, diane, I'll besending out a general ledger
welcome email and as long as sheshows as an authorized contact,
she'll be included.
Oops, I said her name.
(08:50):
Oh well, it will provide allthe details surrounding the
portion we will be implementingtogether.
I will also set up an analysiscall as well as send out a
template to be reviewed.
If you're not planning on usingADP's GL, you have the right to
choose not to use it, but it isincluded.
All questions will be answeredduring the calls and the welcome
email.
Stay tuned.
With an exclamation point Bitch,please get out of my email
(09:13):
inbox because I've told youtwice now to step the fuck back.
Okay, step the fuck back for me, because I don't need to talk
to you this much, especiallygiven the fact that there's
absolutely nothing you and Ineed to talk about because we
just met.
That's like, let's see, puttingthe cart before the horse.
(09:37):
I think is a saying so sorry, Ijust looked over at my screen
and something was happening.
So I think this feels like so,let's say, you go on a first
date with somebody.
I'm going to describe this toyou visually.
This might be a short episode,but we'll find, we'll figure it
out, we'll see.
So this is like going out on adate with someone and them
(09:59):
instantly and you instantlypopping out their kid and having
a ring on your finger.
That's what it is.
We cut to the chase, we cutthrough everything.
I don't understand.
Okay, I don't understandBecause I didn't mention any of
this information to you andyou're going based off of
someone who's just a projectmanager, who has no idea what
she's talking about and I'm justleft with you in my inbox, with
(10:20):
you just being like, because Inever mentioned any of that
information to you.
And you can maybe guess why Ineed that information Because I
picked up on the fact that shemight not want to use that
feature during the welcome call,the informal one.
Because I listen and I don'ttalk over people and I wait for
them to give me information.
Okay, if you don't want to, youknow, if you don't want to
(10:43):
chill and trust the process andgo through what you have to go
through first, I have no data.
I have no data on my end.
Okay To do anything with.
Okay, to give you a template.
Okay, that has anything in itfor you to do anything with.
So I'm not going to explain toyou why I need something.
If you're not already workingwith us, like you're not already
(11:04):
working with us, like you'renot fucking with us yet, and
you're asking me crazy questions, or crazy questions is fine too
, but I was telling my mom thatand my mom's, like you, can't
complain to your manager orsomething about her overstepping
a little bit, and I'm like Idon't know.
See, there's the tricky part ofit is I'm new to my role, but I
don't know if that's somethingshe should be saying.
(11:24):
I the tricky part of it is, I'mnew to my role, but I don't
know if that's something sheshould be saying.
I kind of want to tell herplease don't mention that stuff
or anything like that.
Just mention what my role isand keep it pushing, because I
don't need you to ask them shitlike that, because that's how
they end up in my inbox andthat's how they end up getting
not answered.
They're not in fuckinglaunchpad yet for me to see
their name, to be like oh,they're authorized.
They're not in securitymanagement yet.
You know why?
(11:44):
Because security managementdoesn't exist yet.
So I'm not going to do all ofthis groundwork for them to
change their mind, because sheseems like she doesn't want to
use it anyway.
That's all I'm saying.
That's all I'm saying Anyway.
So I'm back to also being angryat people who are, you know, not
putting their lunch bag in theright spot in the fridge.
(12:05):
I went to go find my lunch bagyesterday and I got confused for
a second because I'm notfeeling well and couldn't find
it for a second.
I had a mini heart attack.
I was like who stole my lunchand oh, I don't know if I told
this story, bro I got off on thethird floor accidentally,
thinking it was the fifth floor.
I wasn't paying attention and Ithought someone stole my
(12:26):
fucking lunch because it wasn'tin the fridge.
Cause all the kitchens, likeall the floors, are designed the
same way.
So no matter what floor you getout on, um, depending upon
which elevator you get out of,left or right is the kitchen and
it's the same on every floor.
It's the same side, I shouldsay on every floor.
So I get off on the third floor,on the elevator, and the
fucking fridge looks the same,like there's no difference to
(12:48):
how anything looks.
Everything is mirrored.
So I get off on the third floor, I go look for my lunch and I'm
like, oh my God, I'm having amini heart attack.
I'm like, oh my God, who thefuck stole my lunch?
And then I'm walking towardswhere my desk would be, on the
fourth floor, because that'swhere I was still and ta-da, it
says seat three, dash, whatever,whatever.
(13:10):
And I'm like, oh, I'm on thewrong fucking floor.
But of course, here's the otherpart.
That's embarrassing is thatthere were people by the fridge
that actually thought someonetook my lunch, because I didn't
make a scene or anything, but Iwas there looking and they were
like confused, just as confusedas I was, so it's like holy shit
.
So, in any case, that's whathappened to me with my lunch,
and I'm glad that I figured outwhat floor I have to get off on
on the elevator and, uh, that wejust chilling now.
(13:32):
But please don't put your lunchin front of my lunch.
If there's more space somewhereelse in the fridge for you to
put your shit, like I put my mylunch in a certain area because
my lunch fits there, don't putyour lunch bag and squish my
shit, please, and thank you.
As another fridge resident, Ishould say oh, I'm so glad that
(13:53):
lady finished all thatcredentialing with them, because
, fuck that, that chickStephanie is just such a bitch
man and if she hears this, Ihope she knows that because I
think she's probably a bitch toher coworkers too.
Nobody seems to like her toomuch, but I think that's funny.
So again, in watching the Officea million times let's do this
I've realized that Jim and Pamsometimes had the most
(14:13):
ridiculous shit written for them.
There's an episode that hasTimothy Olyphant on it and it's
a hot fucking hospital Halloweenepisode I think it's season
seven where they give away thefucking coupon book.
That's supposedly worth 15k butit's not.
It's like a $30 book that youwould get and it has $15,000 in
(14:33):
savings, but you'd have to spendmoney.
So you're not.
That's not worth $15,000.
There's coupons Okay, it's acoupon book.
So I was laughing, becauseTimothy Oliphant plays a
salesman that they havetraveling and the problem is is
that apparently he went on amini date with Pam or went on
some kind of date with Pam andthey made it a big deal.
And they made it a big dealthat he never called her back.
(14:59):
Jim and Pam, isn't that funnythat your husband and father of
your children is concerned aboutwhy some guy didn't call you
back?
That's the most ridiculousthing I've ever heard.
If I ever had a husband or aboyfriend who was ever fixated
on why someone didn't call meback, but we're like already
betrothed and shit I would smackhim in the face Because that
doesn't matter, because I'vegiven birth to your kid, I have
(15:22):
a ring on my finger because youbought it, like we have a
marriage license and all that,and you're concerned about why
some fucking jackoff has notcalled me back, and this was a
date four years ago.
It's the most irresponsible useof time you know to care about
something like that during afucking Halloween party where
(15:43):
everybody's supposed to behaving fun.
So, and then, of course, theythink that everybody in the
other office is so stupid andout of touch.
They think that this is causinga rift between co workers, like
, oh, jim and Pam don't want usto go to your bar later because
of what happened.
Like who cares, bro, likethat's.
They're so crazy for that kindof support because that's not
even necessary.
Again, again, because she'smarried to Jim again and has had
(16:06):
Jim's kid.
So all of this is stupid ashell and makes no sense.
It is unnecessary.
So there's that, the wholething of them wanting to know
why, though, I could never hyperfixate over someone like that.
After I'm married, once I'mmarried, actually, once I'm
seeing someone else, I don'tgive a fuck about why someone
(16:27):
didn't call me back, becausethen Timothy Oliphant tries to
be nice and be like oh well, shewas talking about you the
entire time, so it was obviousthat she was still in love with
you, and he goes.
That's not why.
And then, of course, pam's,like you know he goes, she had a
really good time, so whywouldn't you have called someone
like that?
And then you know, why wouldn'tyou call her back?
She had a really nice time.
And then he was like you know,sometimes her fours look like
(16:48):
eights and he goes.
No, but you call her a secondtime, so it wasn't that.
So then of course Pam's therenow and he was like you know,
she had a really good time, whydidn't you call her back?
That's what Jim is saying andyou know, is the definition of
(17:08):
stupidity right here.
Who the fuck cares?
Both of you, both of you arepathetic for this, and it's the
most.
They have such good charactersand I think they try and make
them interesting by giving themthe most stupid storylines.
It was the stupidest storylineI've ever heard of Jim and Pam.
That and their whole, you know,living in Philly, living in,
(17:29):
you know, scranton, distance.
He wants to do his thing.
She loves their life there.
Like also, don't be a drag, pam.
Secondly, my problem is thatthere's no real reason to know
why someone didn't call you back, unless you're still single and
you see them out with someoneelse.
But they give you a look oflike you know what I should have
called you.
(17:50):
You, everybody knows what thatlook is.
So they get to the point whereTimothy Oliphant goes.
I didn't call her back becauseshe seemed dorky.
Also, being a dork is notoffensive.
So the fact that you know Pamgot offended by being called
dorky and Jim got offended onher behalf because she got
called dorky is stupid, stupid.
I would rather be a dork thandeal with someone who doesn't
(18:12):
like dorky people.
You know what I'm saying.
Like Timothy Olyphant'scharacter fucking, who the fuck
cares?
He doesn't like dorks.
Good, you fucking dodged abullet.
You're going to be upset bythat.
And then, of course, it wascute at the end because Jim
showed up.
He pulled up in his Popeyecostume, which he swore he
wasn't going to wear, so Ithought that was cute.
The other thing that's happeningduring that episode is Michael
(18:33):
and Daryl are going at eachother because Michael passed up
on Daryl's idea of you knowhaving, you know salesmen having
the?
Um, fuck, what is it?
Having the delivery drivers, um, sell printers, because they're
selling printers and paper now,so when they do their paper
deliveries they can also doprinter sales.
(18:55):
And apparently it was a reallygood idea that Michael passed up
and you know they get.
I was laughing because thefucking thing that makes me
laugh about that is that youknow, michael has always made
childish remarks to Daryl, likeDaryl isn't an adult, like he's
drawn pictures and he said, oh,that's cute, we're going to put
(19:15):
it on the fridge.
Like being a real dick about it.
I'm like, bro, you can't bethat way.
And then be surprised when acolleague gets mad at you for
not taking an idea seriously andDaryl makes good points.
And Daryl makes good points.
Like Michael has always kepthim in the same spot and not,
you know, trusted Daryl to makegood decisions that would
benefit the company, which isinsane.
(19:36):
Like you're squanderingresources, bruh, anything that
would take.
You know Michael has plenty ofopportunities to show that he
can come up with new ideas.
One idea Daryl is sitting downin the warehouse doing nothing
because Michael doesn't let him.
Anyway, fuck it.
So that's my analysis of someof the shit they just do on that
(19:57):
show that just you know youdon't see it the first time
because you're busy laughing atall the dumb shit, but when you
go back and watch stuff which Ihighly recommend of a series
that you like, that's yourfavorite, I highly recommend
going back and watching it, justso that you could be like, oh
wow, that fucking is terrible,like that's the fucking most
terrible plot line they couldhave given that person.
Like, just like with Grey'sAnatomy, let me see this shit.
(20:24):
Just like that real quick.
So just like with Grey'sAnatomy.
Here's the other thing thatpissed me off is the way they
had Alex Karev leave the show.
All right, so they built hisstory.
He became one of the fuckingfavorites.
He started out being a terror,albeit hilariously funny, but he
(20:46):
started out being a terror toall the other interns that he
started with.
Then he becomes a truly goodguy.
He finds someone, he settlesdown, he gets married and all
that.
And then just one day he justfucking leaves and he left a
letter for each of them forfucking, uh Meredith, for Joe,
for um Richard, for Dr Weberexcuse me and for um Dr Bailey.
(21:08):
Like all of them got letters, Ithink, and it was the most
Sawfest episode there ever was.
Okay and as much as I liked Alex, what a shitty way to end your
story by saying spoiler alertthat you're going back to
fucking Izzy because Izzy kepttheir sperm from when she had
cancer and thought she was gonnadie.
(21:28):
She stored her eggs and decidedto use those eggs and give
birth to your children withouttelling you.
That's crazy.
It's a plot twist nobody sawcoming.
But that's not how you do thatcharacter, like he dropped off
the face of the earth to do whatI love, how these actors who
get big off these shows for like20 years at a time go.
(21:51):
Okay, now it's time to start mycareer out of that series.
Bro, you're old now, you're notJon Hamm.
Jon Hamm is one of thosemotherfuckers.
He got what he got known whenhe was fucking in his forties
and now he's still going on todo shit.
He was just in um, fucking shit.
What is it?
Oh my God, what is the name ofthat show?
(22:13):
Hold up, hold up, hold up.
Good Omens.
He was just in Good Omens asGod, as Gabriel, okay, and he's
still recognized as Jon Hamm.
Who the fuck even knows theactor who plays Alex Karev?
Alex, the guy who plays AlexKarev was in um the Wedding
(22:33):
Planner.
I don't remember what his namewas, but he was like an Italian
who Jennifer Lopez's dad wastrying to set.
Oh, massimo, that's what hisname was.
Stupid fucking movie he wastrying to be.
She was like in love withMatthew McConaughey and Matthew
McConaughey turned out to bemarried or getting married,
excuse me and they were.
(22:54):
She was their wedding planner.
And Mossimo ends up being likesome Italian that her dad meets,
that he wants to set her upwith, set up JLo with.
That's so stupid, but it's like, that's it.
What else is that actor doingright now?
Nothing.
I don't even know his real name.
I couldn't even tell you Likeand then fucking who else?
(23:15):
Who else left?
Well, at least we know thatfucking Patrick Dempsey does
some stuff he's into like racingand shit now, which is crazy,
but whatever Still looks good.
He came back for a coupleepisodes of the fucking spoiler
alert death sequence withMeredith limbo sequence, I
should say, which I didn'tfinish.
I did not finish that seasonwhere she was like half dying
(23:37):
from COVID or exhaustion ordehydration or all the above.
But I think I just mightrestart the series.
I think I'm on season two orwhatever, but I I can't believe
they've gotten through so manyseasons.
It's fucking insane and I'mjust like, whatever, all right,
let's check out some news,because I don't have anything
(23:59):
interesting to report on.
We got an M Night Shyamalanlawsuit trial.

This article is from January15th.
By the way, representatives forShyamalan, apple and the
defendant's legal team didn'timmediately respond to
Entertainment Weekly's requestfor comment.
Gregorini's complaint, which EWhas reviewed, says that
Shyamalan implausibly claimshe's never seen Emanuel.
Gregorini is seeking $81million from Servants creators,
including Apple and Shyamalan,who was present in the courtroom
(25:13):
for opening arguments.
However, most of Tuesday'sopening arguments focused not on
Shyamalan, who served asshowrunner, executive producer
and occasional director on thefour-season series, but on
Servants creator, tony Baskallop, who was also defendant in the
case.
In an opening statement,gregorini's attorney, patrick
Orenz, observed that both thetruth about Emanuel and Servant
(25:34):
center on a delusional motherwho cares for a lifelike doll
and bonds with a nanny whoindulges her by taking care of
the doll as if it were a realchild, according to the court
transcript.
So the show here I thinkthey'll explain this Servant
sprang ideas that Baskalop hadconceived for a previous
iteration of the Supernaturalproject titled Practically
Perfect, and Ahrens argued thatthe screenwriter amended his
(25:57):
work to add a doll and adelusional mother in 2016, when
he presented the concept toShyamalan, three years after
Emanuel premiered at theSundance Film Festival.
Ahrens claimed that Shyamalanand his colleagues love the
reborn doll upon hearingBaskalov's pitch.
It's so compelling, fresh, edgy.
It's definitely the big idea ofthe show.
They also love the concept, theawesome concept between the
(26:20):
mother character and the nannycharacter.
Ahrens also argued that Emanuelis based on Miss Gregorini's
life experiences, because it wasabout her efforts to protect
her mother when she wassuffering from an addiction and
keeping up the delusion thateverything was fine at home.
So let me see, I don't reallycare about any of this, so let's
see.
(26:40):
So the movie, so the show, theServant on Apple TV Plus is
basically about this mother whois, you know, pretending a
lifelike doll is her actual son,and supernatural shit starts
happening when they welcome thisnanny, this live-in nanny, into
their house, this doll babyactually starts moving and
(27:01):
crying and whatever, like a realbaby.
So they think it has to do withthe nanny who, I guess, is the
servant of the Lord, whatever.
Think it has to do with thenanny who, I guess, is the
servant of the Lord, whatever.
And it's a good show.
I haven't finished it yet.
The only.
There's so many like things,though, about that that I don't
like.
Like the girl is very.
There's a lot of holes in thisgirl's background.
(27:22):
Okay, she came from a cult andall this other shit, and it was
very religious, she's verydevout.
And then, of course, you know,the first season shows.
The first season finale showsthe people coming back for her
to take her from this familywho's basically given her a food
, shelter and everything else sothat she could continue this.
You know, farce of this dollbeing alive.
(27:45):
And once, of course, she leaves, the baby goes with her or the
baby goes back to being a doll.
I forget, I have to rewatchthis too, um, but of course they
have to find her now.
They have to find the nannybecause she obviously the mom is
cracked out of her mind andbelieves that this doll is alive
(28:07):
and she wants the alive dollback and she thinks that since
the nanny left the house, thisis what's happening and it's
like, um, what the fuck happenedhere?
And it's like, uh, it's justweird.
It's just so.
It's a weird show.
I liked it for a second and thenI fell off of it because you
know, it was during COVID andall this shit and I was going
(28:33):
through a lot of stuff mentallyand I just gave up on it.
But I might go back into it.
It might be an interestingwatch a second time around, like
I rewatched it and I see thingsI didn't catch the first time.
And you know me, I like to siton my phone and while I watch
shit and play around andwhatever, whatever.
So that might be interesting.
I don't know that this is goingto hold up, especially
considering the fact thatthere's let's see.
I wonder how it's going to go,to be honest with you, because
(28:58):
there's a lot of evidence thatcould point to this being
similar to the life of Emmanuel,but I've never seen it to know,
so I can't really tell you.
Oh cool, my stuff was delivered.
I'm not going to grab it yet,so I can't really tell you oh
cool, my stuff was delivered.
I'm not going to grab it yet.
Let's see.
I am done reading about thisJustin Baldoni shit.
I am, however, into this WendyWilliams thing, so let's take a
(29:23):
peeky-poo at that.
Wendy Williams insists she's notcognitively impaired and is
trapped in a conservatorship.
I feel like I'm in a prison.
The former talk show host gavea harrowing account of her life
under court-appointed guardianSabrina Morrissey.
Wendy Williams was in tears onThursday, january 16th, as she
begged to get out of herconservatorship and return to
life outside the walls of thewellness facility in New York
City in which she's been orderedto live.
(29:44):
Appearing on the Breakfast Clubfor a rare interview, the former
television show host 60, spokeout about her situation to host
Charlamagne the God.
I'm not cognitively impaired,but I feel like I'm in prison.
William said I'm in this placewith people who are in their 90s
and their 80s and their 70s.
These people there's somethingwrong with these people here on
this floor.
I'm clearly not what you'reclearly not.
(30:04):
What bitch crazy.
Listen, this system is broken.
Let me see this system that Iam in.
The system is falsified a lot.
For the last three years I havebeen caught up in the system.
She went on to explain that shespends all her days in her room,
taking all her meals in bed andwatching TV.
I can call you, but you can'tcall me.
William said I don't even knowwhat kind of phone I have.
I can't sit on the phone andlook at things and scroll
(30:25):
through things.
I can't do that.
I do not have a laptop.
I do not have an iPad.
It's essentially what somepeople would call a luxury
prison.
Williams' niece, alex Finney,who joined her aunt for the
interview, explained it's small.
She has a bed, a chair, a TV, abathroom and she's looking out
one window at buildings acrossthe street.
(30:53):
Williams claimed the facilitydoes not let her come or go as
she pleases, with elevatorslocked.
Visitors are restricted, somuch so that even Breakfast Club
personality Lauren LaRosawasn't allowed to see her,
despite Williams speaking to thefront desk herself and
requesting LaRosa come up.
The facility also feedsWilliams medications, some of
which, she claimed she doesn'tknow why they've prescribed
Everybody's like a nursemaid, soto speak.
They come in and give yourpills and then they leave.
I've had two pills all my life.
There are seven pills.
I have no idea what this pillis doing.
I haven't been to a pill personin a matter of a long time to
(31:15):
ask excuse me, doctor, can youtell me what this pill is for?
When she asked to go see herdoctor for her thyroid, williams
, who has Graves disease, anautoimmune disorder that causes
the thyroid gland to produce toomuch thyroid hormone, was
allegedly told the pill that youhave for your thyroid is
(31:36):
perfect.
This is my life, people.
This is my life.
This is my goddamn life.
Let's see, in the mostemotional parts of the chat,
williams broke down as sheexpressed fears of not being
able to visit her father for hisupcoming 94th birthday.
He lives in Miami whereWilliams hopes to relocate to be
with her family, including herson, kevin Hunter Jr.
I don't know if I'm able to flyto Miami to say happy birthday
to my dad.
That person was holding mehostage.
I don't know if she's going tolet me see my dad for his
birthday.
I'm exhausted thinking aboutwhat if I can't see my dad for
(31:56):
his birthday.
Jesus Christ, how many timesare you going to say it At 94,
the day after?
That is not promised.
It's not promised.
It's not promised before thateither.
Bitch.
Makes no sense to say that Asource with knowledge of the
matter explained that theguardianship court ultimately
decides whether it is safe forWilliams to travel to Florida or
other locations.
She's currently in a facilitywith 24-7 medical care.
We're going to go into whyshe's there in a second.
(32:19):
My life is fucked up.
Williams cried, expressing herconcern about retaliation that
might come from her interview.
What if they take my phone?
I won't be able to talk toanybody.
Asked how fans could helpFinney.
Urge supporters to make as muchnoise as possible using social
media hashtag free Wendy orsupporting various changeorg
petitions and go fund mecampaigns.
Whatever we have to do to makesure my aunt is in a place where
(32:40):
she's living her life indignity, this is still a legal
situation.
So, yes, there are things thatmy aunt can't talk about.
There are things that we as afamily can't talk about, but I
think the thing we can talkabout is that my aunt sounds
great.
I've seen her in a very limitedcapacity.
I've seen her, we've talked,we're talking to her.
This does not match anincapacitated person.
That's why we say she's in aluxury prison, because she's
(33:00):
being held and she's beingpunished for whatever reason
that other people are coming upwith as to why it is she has to
be kept in this position.
We're not asking for a wholelot.
I'm not asking for a whole lot.
All I'm saying is just treatthe woman with dignity and give
her the freedom she deserves.
Morrissey is currently in alegal battle with media
companies, a&e televisionnetworks, lifetime Entertainment
and other affiliates, whichwere involved in the release of
(33:21):
A Where's Wendy Williams?
A docuseries about televisionpersonalities about television
personalities, guardianship,health diagnoses and life after
the Wendy Williams show.
This case arises from thebrutally calculated, deliberate
actions of powerful and cravenlyopportunistic media companies
working together with a producerto knowingly exploit Williams.
The filing alleged in partreferencing Williams'
(33:42):
frontotemporal dementiadiagnosis.
There you go, and he laterfiled a counterclaim denying the
allegations.
Days before the documentarypremiered on lifetime in
february 2024, williams teamrevealed that she had been
diagnosed with progressiveaphasia and frontotemporal
dementia.
A press release shared at thetime noted that she received the
diagnosis of 2023, stating thatthe conditions have already
(34:03):
presented significant hurdles inwendy's life.
Have you seen that clip of herlike fucking seizing on
Halloween.
It's insane.
Her eye looks like it wants topop out of her head.
Ftd is a group of disorders thatoccur when nerve cells in the
frontal and temporal lobes ofthe brain are lost.
According to Johns HopkinsMedicine, this causes the lobes
to shrink.
Ftd can affect behavior,personality, language and
(34:25):
movement.
At this time, no treatments cancure or slow it getting worse.
Wendy is still able to do manythings for herself.
Most importantly, she maintainsher trademark sense of humor
and is receiving the care sherequires to make sure she's
protected and that her needs areaddressed.
She's appreciative of the manykind thoughts and good wishes
being sent her way.
Nearly two months ago, morrisseyshared an update on William's
(34:46):
health In court documentsobtained by People at the Time.
Morrissey said the former talkshow host is cognitively
impaired, permanently disabledand legally incapacitated, but
Finney on the Breakfast Clubseemed to deny that diagnosis.
My aunt hasn't had a medicalevaluation to see if her rights
have been restored.
It's a shame we're in thisplace.
This is how sickening it is andhow tired I am of having to
(35:07):
talk about this and have theseconversations with my aunt,
because it's not just her.
Anyway, let's see as a result.
Let's see Attorney RobertaKaplan, who's suing A&E Lifetime
and the producers of theWhere's Wendy Williams
docuseries.
On behalf of Williams says theformer talk show host suffers
from frontal lobe dementiadegenerative brain disease that
has no cure.
As a result, the state courtfound her to be legally
(35:30):
incapacitated, meaning thatshe's not capable of making
legal and financial decisions onher own.
Unfortunately, because of herdiagnosis, wendy's condition
will only get worse with timeand she will require care for
the rest of her life.
But, as anyone who has had afamily member with dementia
knows, wendy has both good daysand bad days.
It is truly a shame that thereis so much voyeuristic attention
to this right now, since itonly leads to the same kinds of
(35:50):
exploitation that we saw in theso-called documentary.
As alleged in our complaint,last month, williams made a rare
appearance at her son'sgraduation from Florida
International University,surrounded by her family.
Williams sat in a motorizedscooter wearing a sequined
low-cut dress, black boots and alarge w necklace.
I'm not fucking rating people,I don't know.
(36:13):
Sorry, I was in a twitch streamand he rated somebody in any
case, um, some, so here's myproblem.
So there's, there's a commenton it that I'm like yeah, I
understand that, let me see,let's see, because when you look
at her and when you see hermovements and stuff, she
(36:33):
definitely has some kind ofimpairment.
Okay, it's not, you can't hideit.
So the first comment says Ibelieve Wendy does have
cognitive impairment and it's ashame Finney doesn't see it.
Look at the documentary.
What concerns me is why herfamily can't visit or even one
or two members, saying she issafe and protected.
What a joke.
She's in lockdown.
What a freedom.
What a mess.
So I agree with that.
(36:56):
I agree, the family members seewhat they want to see when they
want to see it.
So at some point it's going tobe too late for her niece to see
this, which is only going to be.
You know, it's only gonna makethings worse.
Like, um, it's better to noticethings upfront than have them
creep up on you later.
Um, I'm gonna have to take mylunch soon in this ship.
(37:20):
Anyway, let's see.
I haven't seen the documentary.
I think I will, but I'm withyou on that regarding isolating
her from her family.
That's why it makes theconservator and financial
advisor suspects.
I don't see the correlationabout a will.
How is having or not having awill relevant?
You know, in case anybodyremembers, she judged Britney
Spears and called her a lot ofmessed up stuff.
Now she knows that BritneySpears felt, knows what Britney
Spears felt like and she's onlydone it for a couple of months.
(37:41):
Britney did it for years, whichis why she went crazy.
Let's see what else does it say?
No-transcript.
(38:16):
Who signed off on this?
Who signed off on thisconservatorship?
Because I'm pretty sure Wendydidn't.
That's like.
My other question is like whatthe fuck's going on, that these
people are just getting throwninto conservatorships left and
right, like, don't like?
Britney Spears ultimatelylooked a little insane.
Ok, she shaved her head, shewent through a nervous breakdown
(38:37):
, but we don't need to havesomeone babysit her.
She's a fucking adult.
I mean, she's going to do whatshe wants to do anyway, and she
was still doing what she wantedto do anyway under a
conservatorship.
But to be honest with you, nowthat she's out of that shit,
when do we really see her?
I think she was at peak BritneySpears when she was acting up
on Instagram and holding knivesand dancing and shit.
(38:57):
I think that was peak Britney.
I think we need that Britneyback.
That shit would be hilariousHilarious in a good way, not
hilarious in a.
Let's watch this fucking carwreck happen.
Anyway, oops, going to hell,it's fine.
Also, don't compareconservatorship to prison,
(39:18):
unless you actually want to bein prison, because, from what I
can tell, prison doesn't seemokay.
Doesn't seem okay, all right,and I find these good ones every
so often.
Every so often I find a goodone.
Mom says her frugal dadcomplained about her daughter's
diner order because it violatedhis rule of etiquette.
(39:40):
This should be good.
The mom said that although herdad grumbled at the table,
things came to a head later thatday when he started complaining
about their lack of manners.
A mom said that she and herteenage daughter were treated to
breakfast by her frugal father,only to later be berated by him
for the price of one of theirmeals.
In a recent post on Reddit am Ithe?
I'm going to assume word isasshole a 44-year-old mom vented
(40:02):
about the situation.
My dad has always been frugal.
She wrote about her 68-year-oldfather.
His frugality has served himwell.
He has a beautiful home,savings, he's been retired for
over 10 years, multiple rentalproperties, etc.
The mom went on to explain thatshe and her 15-year-old daughter
recently drove to Phoenix tovisit him for the weekend and
that during the trip he didsomething a little out of
(40:24):
character he invited them outfor breakfast.
By the way, I thought this wasa whole fucking younger
situation here.
I thought it was like some 44year old dad yelling at a 15
year old girl.
This is a 66 year old man outwith 68 year old man out with
his 44 year old daughter and hisgranddaughter.
Let's get back in.
Typically, my dad cooksbreakfast every morning.
(40:46):
On this particular morning hedidn't feel like it and told us
we were going out.
This is a little unusual, sincehe does not like to eat out due
to the expense.
The woman said her dad tookthem to a casual diner but that
her dad mumbled something underhis breath about after his
granddaughter ordered chickenfried steak.
I heard my dad mumble somethinglike the things you order.
(41:06):
The woman wrote but shared thatoverall it didn't seem like a
big deal at the time, but laterin the day her dad was still
visibly irate and eventuallyexclaimed I can't stand it
anymore.
He then started complainingabout their lack of manners.
He has this rule of etiquettethat says that if someone
invites you out to a meal, youshould never order anything more
expensive than the personthat's paying.
The woman wrote I think it'srude to put that responsibility
(41:28):
on a guest and, as she pointedout, her daughter only ordered a
chicken fried steak, not anoutrageously overpriced meal or
a magnum of champagne.
I don't know what that means.
Not wanting to make anuncomfortable situation worse,
the mom said she apologized forany disrespect he felt.
I'm going back to my dad'shouse this weekend if it comes
up again.
Am I the asshole here?
She asked her fellow redditorsat the conclusion of her post.
(41:49):
No bitch, no, no, you're not.
(42:10):
Let's see extravagant.
At a diner I can't imagineanything on the menu would be
fancy or disproportionatelyexpensive.
Yet another commenter wrotethat while they do keep price in
mind when somebody else ispaying, there's only so much you
can reasonably be expected todo when someone else is paying.
I order something mid-priced,not the most expensive thing,
but not the cheapest thingeither, wrote the Redditor.
I feel this is pretty fair, butordering something that costs
(42:32):
less than the payer's dishsounds silly.
What's she supposed to have?
Bread and water.
She's supposed to have the.
What they come out with foreverybody.
Let's read the comments.
I'm sure these are good.
I just read that rule last weekin the mismanners column.
I bet the other yes responds.
Read mismanners last week too.
Let's say the grandfather.
I don't really care about thatcomment.
(42:52):
That was stupid.
The grandfather in thissituation may have grown up in a
huge family with lots ofsiblings, so eating cheap at the
restaurant when they all wentout may have been the norm.
His upbringing and mindset mayhave been may have still been on
his childhood and teen years.
Being cheap was how such alarge family survived.
Good Lord, she's yourgranddaughter.
How cheap can you be?
I'd never go out to eat withyou again.
You know that's the thing Likefamilies grow up in certain
(43:19):
things.
But you could break thosetraditions.
Even if he did grow up in a bigfamily and they had to like
order cheap to just survive ordidn't have enough money or
whatever, then you don't fuckinggo out.
My mom's thing is that if youdon't have the money to tip
somebody, then don't go out toeat.
Don't.
If you don't have money to tipyour server, don't go out to eat
.
This would be the same thing.
If you can't spot yourgranddaughter and let her eat
whatever she wants to have agood visit, then you don't go
(43:41):
out to eat.
Maybe be in the mood to do whatyou traditionally do, which is
make breakfast.
Don't put it on them or don'teven make your daughter feel
uncomfortable to the point whereshe doesn't want to eat with
you again.
Because if someone did that tome and like, maybe my child,
whatever, like even a familymember, I'd be like you know
what, I'll send you the fuckingmoney.
Like it would come to the pointwhere I would curse at a blood
(44:02):
relative Because that's insane,let me eat what I want.
You offered to do this thing,you offered to do this favor,
and then you're getting pissedoff when people follow through
with the favor, like how much ischicken fried steak anyway?
And what did this fucking guyorder?
I need more details to actuallybe officially mad at this.
I'm mad at it because of basicfacts.
(44:23):
Okay, if I had more information, I'd be mad at it for a
different reason.
But, like sir, you offered togo out and that's what happens.
All right, let's hear anothercomment.
Presumably father quote unquotewith all his good graces allowed
the women at the table to orderfirst, according to the
(44:44):
customary etiquette.
How would either woman knowwhat they were ordering?
How would either woman quoteunquote know that they were
ordering something moreexpensive?
Was this done ill-intentioned?
Quote unquote test as theinvitation to go out so rarely
happens.
This sounds like gaslightingand a bug if a step, even if not
a lighthearted chuckle and asubtle comment about the needs
of growing children, should putthe issue to rest.
Nope, I don't know how Ilearned the same thing, but I
(45:08):
never would order something moreexpensive than the pay.
That said, it appears dad isconcerned with good manners and
etiquette.
If that is basing this on goodmanners, he needs to learn a few
himself.
First of all, you shouldn'tinvite someone to a restaurant
and then criticize them for theorder of their cost.
Ding, ding, ding bad manners.
I wonder if he's always beencritical like this, or is it
something new?
Could he have had a TIA?
(45:28):
I don't know what the fuck thatmeans.
I'm just trying to look at allthe different scenarios.
I'd have ordered anotherchicken fried steak to go after
hearing that comment.
How would your daughter evenknow what he was ordering?
That's the thing too.
Is that you know?
Because here's the thing when,even now, when I go out on a
date with my boyfriend, I'll askhim oh, what are you having?
Because I still have the menuin front of me and I don't have
(45:49):
any idea.
But I do have an idea.
I look at what he's orderingand, to be honest with you.
I do kind of look at the price.
I do kind of look at the priceand I base it off my hunger
level.
If I'm crazy hungry I'll belike, hey, is it cool if I have
an appetizer.
I will be polite like that,like I'm not just going to be
like, oh, I assume he has crazymoney to spend on my dinner.
I'm not crazy like that, butit's just so funny Like that.
(46:11):
She ordered too much.
Good job, team on the call.
I'm checking with the deal desk.
Bitch, I don't give a fuck forany of that.
Sorry, reading work stuff, butI don't give a fuck about none
of that shit.
That lady Stephanie had mepissed off.
I don't give a fuck about therest of their company for the
rest of the day.
Let's see.
Oh, they came out with a newvirus.
That's the last one.
I'm going to close this outwith HMPV.
(46:36):
So this came out.
All right, bitch.
No, no, I don't want to.
No, I don't want to.
You know what?
(46:56):
Hold on a second.
Okay, bruh, let's see what.
Hold up when your offer applied.
Okay, cool, subscribe.
I just want to read this article.
I don't really care if I haveto pay for it.
I'll just cancel it.
If I remember it's a dollar.
Oh, it's four bucks.
(47:16):
Who cares?
All right, I really want toread this.
Come on, bruh, this is stupid.
Okay, can I go back to thearticle now, please?
Thanks so much, okay, bruh.
Okay, cool, thank you so much.
Can I fucking read this shit?
Oh, bitch, you're being crazy.
There we go.
(47:37):
What we know about HMPV, thecommon virus spreading in China.
Let's see this shit.
Published January 7th, notright now, in the app.
Bruh Reports of a surge incases of a respiratory virus in
China have evoked dark echoes ofthe start of the COVID-19
pandemic exactly five years ago.
So this is why I'm reading this, just to be like.
(47:57):
Really, despite the surfacesimilarities, this situation is
very different and far lessworrisome.
It is one of several pathogensthat circulate across the world
each year, causing respiratoryillnesses.
Hmpv is common, so common thatmost people will be infected
while they are still childrenand may experience several
infections in their lifetimes.
Wonderful In countries withmonths of cold weather, hmpv can
(48:21):
have an annual season, muchlike the flu, while in places
close to the equator, itcirculates at lower levels all
year long.
Great HMPV is similar to avirus that is better known in
the US respiratory syncytialvirus or RSV.
It causes symptoms much likethose associated with flu and
COVID, including cough fever,nasal congestion and wheezing.
So glad I spent $4 for this.
(48:42):
Most HMPV infections are mildlyresembling bouts of the common
cold, but severe cases canresult in bronchitis or
pneumonia, particularly amonginfants, older adults and
immunocompromised people.
Hello, patients withpre-existing lung conditions
such as asthma, chronicobstructive pulmonary disease,
copd or emphysema are at higherrisk of severe outcomes.
Hello, that's your girl.
In higher income countries, thevirus is rarely fatal.
(49:07):
In lower income countries withweak health systems and poor
surveillance, details are morecommon.
Are they talking about Florida?
How long has this virus beenaround?
The virus was identified in 2001.
So, wait a minute.
So we've had this thing goingon for 24 years.
It says check this shit out.
This sentence kills me.
The virus was identified in2001, but researchers say it has
circulated in humans for atleast 60 years.
(49:29):
Though it is not new, itdoesn't have the name
recognition of influenza, covidor even RSV.
Great One reason is that it israrely discussed the name
recognition of influenza, covidor even RSV.
Great One reason is that it israrely discussed by name, except
when people are hospitalizedwith a confirmed case of it.
Cool.
How does a person get infected?
The virus spreads primarilythrough droplets or aerosols
from coughing or sneezing,through direct contact with an
(49:50):
infected individual or throughexposure to contaminated
surfaces.
Basically the same way.
People get cold flus and COVIDEnough.
Is there a vaccine or atreatment?
There is no vaccine againstHMPV, but there is a vaccine for
RSV and research is underway tofind a vaccination that can
protect against both.
With one shot, Double death.
There is no antiviral treatment.
(50:11):
Treatment focuses on managementof symptoms.
What is China saying about it?
China, the Chinese authorities,have acknowledged that HMPV
cases are increasing, but haveemphasized that the virus is a
known entity and is not a majorconcern.
Has anyone seen that movieContagion?
I went and I saw that movie.
Yeah, I'm not reading thatarticle anymore because who
cares?
That movie Contagion was socrazy when it first came out
(50:32):
that I was scared to be alive.
So my mother and I went to gosee this movie during the day I
don't remember if it was duringthe week, but it was like not
really an empty movie theater,but it was one of the old school
ones.
I used to love that movietheater.
I think I need to see a moviethis weekend.
It was called the Distinta.
It no longer exists.
They bulldozed it.
I guess sales and shit wentdown from whatever.
(50:53):
Maybe it went down because ofCOVID, who knows?
I need movie popcorn for sure.
That movie theater was the shit.
Okay.
I used to love going there.
The ticket prices were bomb.
They were not crazy like AMCand all these other expensive
joints, which is probably whythey went out of business, but
they used to make crazy moneyoff me and my mom on the
(51:15):
weekends and we used to.
We went and we saw this movieContagion.
Let me see how old this fuckingmovie is.
It was really good, but it wasvery scary because of how real
it could be.
Let me just see Contagion 2011.
We're in 2025.
This movie is 14 years old.
It had Jude Law, matt Damon,kate Winslet like it had so many
(51:39):
big names in it MarionCotillard for no reason, she got
taken as like a prisoner forsome reason.
Lawrence Fishburne, gwynethPaltrow, bryan Cranston I forgot
was in it.
Sanaa Lathan was in it.
Dimitri Martin was in it.
All of these people, john Hawks, elliot Gould he's dead.
There's so many fucking peoplein this movie I might have to
(52:02):
watch again.
It was a good movie and itscared the fuck out of me
Because, again, of how real andhow real this could be.
How dirty people are, howcommunal things like going to a
bar and putting your hand inlike some almonds or whatever or
some you know bar nuts,whatever is crazy, this shit.
I'm gonna read this.
(52:22):
What is it?
Synopsis, whatever.
When beth emhoff, who's gwynethpaltrow's character, returns to
minnesota from a hong kongbusiness trip, she attributes
the malaise she feels to jet lag.
However, two days later, bethis dead and and doctors tell her
shocked husband that they haveno idea what killed her.
Soon, many others start toexhibit the same symptoms and a
global pandemic explodes.
(52:43):
Doctors try to contain thelethal microbe, but society
begins to collapse.
As blogger fans, the flames ofparanoia, jude Lawd's character.
This is basically the precursorfor COVID, if I could say that,
because eight years later wehad COVID and this is exactly
what fucking happened.
Pretty much.
So I just like the layout ofthe movie.
(53:06):
I like how they have all thesecharacters lives intertwined.
They explain how everybody isinvolved in this epidemic
pandemic, whatever you want tocall it.
I think there's a pandemic inthe fucking thing.
Don't remember, don't care,it's right in front of me.
Sorry, I hit the thing, I hitmy mic, so if you hear that,
click my bad.
It was just.
It was a movie for its time thatreally brought the reality of
(53:29):
what pandemics can do to acivilization.
There was quarantining in yourown home, there was staying away
from other people, nobody,there was like nothing on the
shelves in the stores, peoplegoing crazy.
And once you got it, you got it.
But this was way worse because,you know, immunocompromised and
older population got affectedby COVID and it turned into a
(53:52):
whole other thing, like itturned into yeah, you're
definitely going to die.
Okay, I worked in a nursing home.
That place never shut downthrough this entire thing.
So, even though I had a mask onat work, there was always a
concern, but they would swab us,I think on a weekly basis at
least.
And if you traveled to a place,if you traveled to a state that
(54:13):
was not considered safe, notsafe, but I don't remember.
But what's funny is I went toGeorgia.
No, no, no, I went to Maryland.
I went to Maryland, which wasconfirmed to be safe before I
left, and, of course, while Iwas out there and came back,
they said no, sorry.
So what they did was I had togo in be tested, then I had to
(54:34):
leave and couldn't go back towork until they got my results.
Obviously, I was negativebecause me and the person I was
seeing at that time were onlywith each other and we were
outdoors for most of it.
We would did a lot of hikingand whatnot.
Um, he was a piece of shit who,uh, I don't know, couldn't enjoy
anything unless it had nicotinein it or marijuana.
What a shitty ass trip that Ipaid for anyway.
(54:59):
Um, but, yeah, contagion.
So here's the funny part aboutit.
So I could wrap this up so thatmy brain gets back to work on
normal shit.
Uh, essentially what happenedis that we were in the movie.
We saw the movie there.
At the end it tells you exactlywhat happened to her.
But they go through the wholeprocess of people dying and
they're trying to fucking comeup with the fucking vaccine for
(55:21):
it.
And of course, you know, one ofthe scientists takes it upon
herself to just be the testdummy because she's like so
tired of all these things goingwrong and she's like what's the
worst that could happen?
I die Like yeah, bitch, that is, it is literally the worst
thing that could happen.
So she gives up after fightingwith her partner, just stabs
herself with it and like, justgave up and then she was fine.
(55:44):
And then they used her bloodand what they mixed together for
the vaccine, for the cure, andthen everyone would line up and
get this vaccine.
That's basically what happened,and I think her dad either she
did it for her dad because herdad was in the hospital and she
wanted him to survive and Iguess she knew the risks I think
(56:04):
it was the CDC.
She knew the risks involved,but she was so over it.
She was tired of seeing allthese people die around her.
She was tired of all her testsfailing and she didn't know what
else to do.
So she's so fucking brave to dothat.
I mean, she was probably likein her late twenties um, fucking
brilliant to be in a job likethat, where you have to come up
(56:24):
with a vaccine to fix a fuckingillness.
Uh, and yes, I say fixed.
I don't care about cure, I'm nota scientist, I don't care about
the terminology, but it's agood movie.
If you haven't seen it, go seeit.
I haven't spoiled too much ofit because I didn't tell you
what happens at the end really.
But it is good.
It's very intense too.
(56:45):
It gets to a point where you'relike, should I be staring this
long at this?
Because it's very quiet?
It's not like it has asoundtrack or a laugh track or
anything like that.
Then you got Jude Law'scharacter, who comes in and he's
a social media person, so he'sputting his face everywhere
saying, um, one of this thing,this home remedy he found for
(57:05):
Scythia I think he calls it uh,helps stave away the effects,
whatever.
Spoiler alert, he's wrong.
Um, fortunately, though, Idon't think he gets sick.
I don't remember.
I haven't seen it in a whileand it's not one of those movies
you rewatch, but I think Imight have to rewatch it, um,
but yeah, it's a really goodmovie.
If you haven't had a chance,it's called contagion.
(57:26):
Uh, kate Winslet's character isimportant too, because she
comes through and she's one ofthe field workers.
She goes out in the field andis staying in hotels and stuff,
and in that time where there'sthis illness going around, she
is staying in hotels voluntarilyto try and suss this whole
situation out.
She's seeing people in thetrenches, she's got her hazmat
(57:46):
suit on and then it's just areally good show.
Lawrence Fishburne being who heis in that, he's like the head
of something at the CDC, soobviously there's special treat
for him and his wife and hisfamily and all that.
But you know it's, it's reallygood.
I would recommend it.
I forgot how good a fuckingmovie that is.
(58:09):
If you get a chance, watch it.
I don't know where it's at,though.
Let me see, let me Google andhelp you guys out, figure out
where you can watch it so youcan see it on.
You have to.
You can watch it so you can seeit on.
You have to.
Unfortunately, you got to rentit.
Amazon Prime has it.
I don't know what Philo is, orPhilo however you say it.
Google Play movies and TV,apple TV and Fandango at home.
Again, good movie.
I recommend seeing it.
It just puts a lot ofperspective on things and what
(58:33):
we don't know is people that aregoing on the background with
these viruses that come out.
But yeah, I think that's it forme, because I'm getting tired
and my throat's getting reallydry and I'm getting hungry for
some reason, because it's 246.
And I've already.
I had lunch at like 11.
So every four hours?
Yeah, makes sense.
I will catch y'all next week.
I will hopefully have more totalk about.
Maybe we'll review some moremovies.
(58:53):
Maybe I'll watch a movie thisweekend, who knows?
I'm watching Deadly Women rightnow and you know all these
women are stupid that arekilling these people and
thinking they're going to getaway with it.
There was one sad one.
We'll get into it next week Notsad, but just like how the fuck
.
But we'll talk about that nextweek.
I love you guys.
Thank you so much again forlistening.
You know I appreciate you guyscoming back week after week.
Tell your friends, tell yourfamily to take a take a peek at
(59:16):
this.
Don't even care if any coworkers for my job here, to be
honest with you, because we allfucking know it's a shit show
from nine to five or eight to430.
Whatever your shift may be, butI'll catch y'all next week.
Love you, bye.
all right people, what's up?
We're back for week.
I thought it was gonna be alittle late in putting this out,
but since I am still by myselfbefore people get home, I
figured I would just take thetime out to speak with you guys
and hope you're having afabulous Thursday.
I'm trying to put these out ontime, but I've been feeling a
little tired lately.
I don't know if it's a seasonalaffect disorder or whatever's
(01:03):
going on, but I've been veryfucking tired.
Yesterday I came home, I took anap on my couch, I had some
cereal for dinner since I atelike a pig the rest of the day
and then I basically got on thestair stepper like a little
weirdo and worked out for abouthalf an hour, got in the shower
and then laid down in bedbecause I was over it by 9
o'clock and that's it.
(01:24):
I just sat in on the worstfucking meeting I've ever sat in
on my entire life as a welcomecall.
The one person in there wasjust so fucking irritating.
I kept talking shit to thepayroll person.
I was talking shit to thepayroll person just sitting
there chilling and like justsitting in the background, like
not saying it any way.
That could be like misconstrued, but I was like this one bitch
(01:45):
in there is just like sayingquestions and stuff Like so in
what I do now, there's a projectmanager who's like the
ringleader of all of us in mycompany.
So we have the project manager,we have me who runs my module,
and then we have several otherpeople on the call who run their
modules.
So I'm laughing because I'mlike, okay, cool, hold on a
second.
I didn't realize.
(02:07):
My sister texted me, oh well,so basically there's a project
manager who's the ringleader ofall of us, then there's me who
runs my module, there's otherpeople who run their module and
then there's the clients,whoever's going to be involved
in the implementation process,like such as setting up their
stuff process, like such assetting up their stuff, getting
credentials to log into shit,this, that and the third.
(02:33):
So this one bitch in there, theproject manager is very chill
and very calm because I'd havelost my shit 10 times over to
Sunday because the projectmanager mentioned that she's
going to send a list out of allthe information.
She's going to send a list outof everybody's names who was
involved in the call and anyother information recap of the
fucking call.
So why is this one bitch withthe glasses who's asking us to
be on camera, which I'm notturning my camera on, bitch
Cause if you see my face, you'regoing to know I don't like
(02:55):
working with you.
She, uh, kept asking questionsabout how to spell people's
names and shit, and I'd havebeen like I'd have been like I
wanted to interrupt.
So bad, I'm like hold up, holdup.
She just said she's going tosend you a list at the end of
everyone's fucking name.
Okay, so stop asking forbullshit so that you could pay
attention to the rest of thedetails, because I'm pretty sure
(03:17):
questions, mcnancy, you'regoing to have more questions
after you've asked her questions.
So to keep from all that shit,why don't you just going to have
more questions after you'veasked your questions?
So to keep from all that shit,why don't you just listen to
what the project manager issaying, so that she can get
through her spiel and we can bedone with this shit?
I don't want to sit in here foran hour and listen to your
nonsense.
She's asking to have fucking.
I was laughing because mycoworker goes.
She's asking for us to have herour cameras on for personalized
(03:41):
experience.
Meanwhile, she has apersonality of a snake and I
almost peed my pants.
I was like just absolutelyendless and like nothing's
directed towards me.
I'm just there for moralsupport.
If there is a question, I'mthere to answer, but I'm not
talking.
This isn't a conversation forme.
This is basically hi, here'swho's working with you.
The next call, supposedly akickoff call, which I don't know
(04:02):
why I have to be involved inthat too, but I'm going to opt
out.
I'm hoping they pick a day thatI have a call.
So I left that meetingprematurely because they were
like hey, so for credentialingpurposes, we're going to ask you
for some sensitive information.
So anyone who does not need tohear any of this information can
drop off of the call right now.
I dropped off.
I didn't even say bye, nothing,because if I said anything they
(04:23):
would want to talk to me andI'm not doing it.
I'm not doing that on Thursday.
Nuh-uh, I'm not talking.
I did my talking earlier.
This bitch was crazy.
There was three client contactswell, four, considering someone
showed up late and then wantedto apologize and thank everybody
for being included in the call,I almost fucking fell out of my
chair because that shit wasfunny too.
I was like ain't no way thisbitch is saying hey, what's up?
(04:45):
Thanks so much.
I'm having a big problem withmy WebEx chat right now.
Can everybody hear me?
Bitch, we can hear you.
You almost blew through mybrain with how hard I could hear
you, so I was just.
I'm just over it today.
I'm tired, I don't feel good, Ihave a headache, I'm a little
warm, but it's also warm in herebecause for some reason it
liked to snow.
In Florida it's snowing by mycousin, by my sister's college,
(05:10):
fsu.
It's not snowing down here overby Orlando.
We chilling literally.
It's like 40 something degreesoutside, so in any case.
So that's what I just wentthrough.
I went through a personal hellof dealing with someone who
seems like she's going to be thebiggest bitch to work with.
I oversee all modules.
Like she sounds, like she'sjust fucking mean.
Like what the fuck is themeanness about Talking about?
(05:34):
Oh I'm sorry, but didn't wediscuss oh I'm sorry Like
directing her questions assomeone who's not even leading
this fucking meeting?
Talk to him on the side.
Bitch, like unbelievable.
She's talking, talking, talkingand fucking the project
manager's trying to be cool andbite her tongue.
You know she is, because justfucking rude bruh and I'm just
(05:58):
like, oh my God, if I don't wantto be on a call with this woman
because she's going to ask mequestions and be like you know
what, I actually have a meetingin about 10 minutes that I
forgot about.
So I have to cut this short andthat's going to be it.
So I think that is going to be,that's that's.
I have to be brief with thembecause if not, I'm going to
lose my fucking shit.
(06:19):
Ok, that's what I'm going to do.
I'm going to lose my fuckingshit and they're just going to
have to deal with it Because Iswear to God, I won't.
So also, I was pissed offbecause I was talking to my mom
about this earlier this morningand I was like this project
manager, I don't like workingwith her because she mentioned
(06:39):
stuff to clients that clientsdon't know what she's talking
about.
So basically, what's happeningis she's mentioning chart of
accounts and journal entries andthen I get some dumb bitch,
some client, in my fucking emailyesterday asking me questions
about why we need that Cause weneed it.
Bitch, I'm not trying to stealyour data, I don't give a fuck.
I basically this is my email.
(07:00):
I'm going to read it out loudto you because I have it right
next to me, because I wasreading it to my mother and I
thought that was fuckinghilarious, let's see, okay.
So this woman emails me and shegoes hello, corinne me.
Obviously I'm wondering if youhappen to have time to discuss
what is needed from financedepartment with Catherine, our
finance director.
She has a few questions.
First of all, we just had aninformal welcome Tuesday.
(07:24):
Mind you, this is Wednesday.
She's emailing me so of courseI'm like okay, let me check the
system, see if I could talk toher what the deal is.
Whatever, nobody's been set upyet.
You know why?
Because they don't exist in thesystem yet.
They don't even have a databasefor me to pull any information
from.
They have nothing going on.
Nothing going on but the rent,okay.
So they had nothing going on.
Nothing going on but the rent,okay.
So I responded back sayingpolitely fuck you, no, I'm
(07:47):
kidding.
I said good morning, theperson's name.
I'd love to be able to send youmy general ledger template for
review, but since there hasn'tbeen anything set up in the
system as of yet, there isn't away what the fuck is that?
There isn't a way for me tosend that to you at this moment
without it being bounced backfor security purposes.
Currently, from the ADP side,you're not showing as an
(08:09):
authorized contact, but thatwill change.
As soon as you start up withpayroll, we can revisit this
matter and I can send thetemplate as soon as more is set
up from the ADP side.
Thank you so much for reachingout.
All the best.
There you go, okay.
So now let's see, let's see,let's see, let's see, let's see,
let's see.
What the fuck is this bruh?
(08:29):
He must be looking for theperson who's talking shit in his
chat.
Sorry, so she goes.
She's wondering why you needthe chart of accounts.
I can't explain that to her.
She could Google what a chartof accounts is and explain that
to her.
So here we go.
I said hey, diane, I'll besending out a general ledger
welcome email and as long as sheshows as an authorized contact,
she'll be included.
Oops, I said her name.
(08:50):
Oh well, it will provide allthe details surrounding the
portion we will be implementingtogether.
I will also set up an analysiscall as well as send out a
template to be reviewed.
If you're not planning on usingADP's GL, you have the right to
choose not to use it, but it isincluded.
All questions will be answeredduring the calls and the welcome
email.
Stay tuned.
With an exclamation point Bitch,please get out of my email
(09:13):
inbox because I've told youtwice now to step the fuck back.
Okay, step the fuck back for me, because I don't need to talk
to you this much, especiallygiven the fact that there's
absolutely nothing you and Ineed to talk about because we
just met.
That's like, let's see, puttingthe cart before the horse.
(09:37):
I think is a saying so sorry, Ijust looked over at my screen
and something was happening.
So I think this feels like so,let's say, you go on a first
date with somebody.
I'm going to describe this toyou visually.
This might be a short episode,but we'll find, we'll figure it
out, we'll see.
So this is like going out on adate with someone and them
(09:59):
instantly and you instantlypopping out their kid and having
a ring on your finger.
That's what it is.
We cut to the chase, we cutthrough everything.
I don't understand.
Okay, I don't understandBecause I didn't mention any of
this information to you andyou're going based off of
someone who's just a projectmanager, who has no idea what
she's talking about and I'm justleft with you in my inbox, with
(10:20):
you just being like, because Inever mentioned any of that
information to you.
And you can maybe guess why Ineed that information Because I
picked up on the fact that shemight not want to use that
feature during the welcome call,the informal one.
Because I listen and I don'ttalk over people and I wait for
them to give me information.
Okay, if you don't want to, youknow, if you don't want to
(10:43):
chill and trust the process andgo through what you have to go
through first, I have no data.
I have no data on my end.
Okay To do anything with.
Okay, to give you a template.
Okay, that has anything in itfor you to do anything with.
So I'm not going to explain toyou why I need something.
If you're not already workingwith us, like you're not already
(11:04):
working with us, like you'renot fucking with us yet, and
you're asking me crazy questions, or crazy questions is fine too
, but I was telling my mom thatand my mom's, like you, can't
complain to your manager orsomething about her overstepping
a little bit, and I'm like Idon't know.
See, there's the tricky part ofit is I'm new to my role, but I
don't know if that's somethingshe should be saying.
(11:24):
I the tricky part of it is, I'mnew to my role, but I don't
know if that's something sheshould be saying.
I kind of want to tell herplease don't mention that stuff
or anything like that.
Just mention what my role isand keep it pushing, because I
don't need you to ask them shitlike that, because that's how
they end up in my inbox andthat's how they end up getting
not answered.
They're not in fuckinglaunchpad yet for me to see
their name, to be like oh,they're authorized.
They're not in securitymanagement yet.
You know why?
(11:44):
Because security managementdoesn't exist yet.
So I'm not going to do all ofthis groundwork for them to
change their mind, because sheseems like she doesn't want to
use it anyway.
That's all I'm saying.
That's all I'm saying Anyway.
So I'm back to also being angryat people who are, you know, not
putting their lunch bag in theright spot in the fridge.
(12:05):
I went to go find my lunch bagyesterday and I got confused for
a second because I'm notfeeling well and couldn't find
it for a second.
I had a mini heart attack.
I was like who stole my lunchand oh, I don't know if I told
this story, bro I got off on thethird floor accidentally,
thinking it was the fifth floor.
I wasn't paying attention and Ithought someone stole my
(12:26):
fucking lunch because it wasn'tin the fridge.
Cause all the kitchens, likeall the floors, are designed the
same way.
So no matter what floor you getout on, um, depending upon
which elevator you get out of,left or right is the kitchen and
it's the same on every floor.
It's the same side, I shouldsay on every floor.
So I get off on the third floor,on the elevator, and the
fucking fridge looks the same,like there's no difference to
(12:48):
how anything looks.
Everything is mirrored.
So I get off on the third floor, I go look for my lunch and I'm
like, oh my God, I'm having amini heart attack.
I'm like, oh my God, who thefuck stole my lunch?
And then I'm walking towardswhere my desk would be, on the
fourth floor, because that'swhere I was still and ta-da, it
says seat three, dash, whatever,whatever.
(13:10):
And I'm like, oh, I'm on thewrong fucking floor.
But of course, here's the otherpart.
That's embarrassing is thatthere were people by the fridge
that actually thought someonetook my lunch, because I didn't
make a scene or anything, but Iwas there looking and they were
like confused, just as confusedas I was, so it's like holy shit
.
So, in any case, that's whathappened to me with my lunch,
and I'm glad that I figured outwhat floor I have to get off on
on the elevator and, uh, that wejust chilling now.
(13:32):
But please don't put your lunchin front of my lunch.
If there's more space somewhereelse in the fridge for you to
put your shit, like I put my mylunch in a certain area because
my lunch fits there, don't putyour lunch bag and squish my
shit, please, and thank you.
As another fridge resident, Ishould say oh, I'm so glad that
(13:53):
lady finished all thatcredentialing with them, because
, fuck that, that chickStephanie is just such a bitch
man and if she hears this, Ihope she knows that because I
think she's probably a bitch toher coworkers too.
Nobody seems to like her toomuch, but I think that's funny.
So again, in watching the Officea million times let's do this
I've realized that Jim and Pamsometimes had the most
(14:13):
ridiculous shit written for them.
There's an episode that hasTimothy Olyphant on it and it's
a hot fucking hospital Halloweenepisode I think it's season
seven where they give away thefucking coupon book.
That's supposedly worth 15k butit's not.
It's like a $30 book that youwould get and it has $15,000 in
(14:33):
savings, but you'd have to spendmoney.
So you're not.
That's not worth $15,000.
There's coupons Okay, it's acoupon book.
So I was laughing, becauseTimothy Oliphant plays a
salesman that they havetraveling and the problem is is
that apparently he went on amini date with Pam or went on
some kind of date with Pam andthey made it a big deal.
And they made it a big dealthat he never called her back.
(14:59):
Jim and Pam, isn't that funnythat your husband and father of
your children is concerned aboutwhy some guy didn't call you
back?
That's the most ridiculousthing I've ever heard.
If I ever had a husband or aboyfriend who was ever fixated
on why someone didn't call meback, but we're like already
betrothed and shit I would smackhim in the face Because that
doesn't matter, because I'vegiven birth to your kid, I have
(15:22):
a ring on my finger because youbought it, like we have a
marriage license and all that,and you're concerned about why
some fucking jackoff has notcalled me back, and this was a
date four years ago.
It's the most irresponsible useof time you know to care about
something like that during afucking Halloween party where
(15:43):
everybody's supposed to behaving fun.
So, and then, of course, theythink that everybody in the
other office is so stupid andout of touch.
They think that this is causinga rift between co workers, like
, oh, jim and Pam don't want usto go to your bar later because
of what happened.
Like who cares, bro, likethat's.
They're so crazy for that kindof support because that's not
even necessary.
Again, again, because she'smarried to Jim again and has had
(16:06):
Jim's kid.
So all of this is stupid ashell and makes no sense.
It is unnecessary.
So there's that, the wholething of them wanting to know
why, though, I could never hyperfixate over someone like that.
After I'm married, once I'mmarried, actually, once I'm
seeing someone else, I don'tgive a fuck about why someone
(16:27):
didn't call me back, becausethen Timothy Oliphant tries to
be nice and be like oh well, shewas talking about you the
entire time, so it was obviousthat she was still in love with
you, and he goes.
That's not why.
And then, of course, pam's,like you know he goes, she had a
really good time, so whywouldn't you have called someone
like that?
And then you know, why wouldn'tyou call her back?
She had a really nice time.
And then he was like you know,sometimes her fours look like
(16:48):
eights and he goes.
No, but you call her a secondtime, so it wasn't that.
So then of course Pam's therenow and he was like you know,
she had a really good time, whydidn't you call her back?
That's what Jim is saying andyou know, is the definition of
(17:08):
stupidity right here.
Who the fuck cares?
Both of you, both of you arepathetic for this, and it's the
most.
They have such good charactersand I think they try and make
them interesting by giving themthe most stupid storylines.
It was the stupidest storylineI've ever heard of Jim and Pam.
That and their whole, you know,living in Philly, living in,
(17:29):
you know, scranton, distance.
He wants to do his thing.
She loves their life there.
Like also, don't be a drag, pam.
Secondly, my problem is thatthere's no real reason to know
why someone didn't call you back, unless you're still single and
you see them out with someoneelse.
But they give you a look oflike you know what I should have
called you.
(17:50):
You, everybody knows what thatlook is.
So they get to the point whereTimothy Oliphant goes.
I didn't call her back becauseshe seemed dorky.
Also, being a dork is notoffensive.
So the fact that you know Pamgot offended by being called
dorky and Jim got offended onher behalf because she got
called dorky is stupid, stupid.
I would rather be a dork thandeal with someone who doesn't
(18:12):
like dorky people.
You know what I'm saying.
Like Timothy Olyphant'scharacter fucking, who the fuck
cares?
He doesn't like dorks.
Good, you fucking dodged abullet.
You're going to be upset bythat.
And then, of course, it wascute at the end because Jim
showed up.
He pulled up in his Popeyecostume, which he swore he
wasn't going to wear, so Ithought that was cute.
The other thing that's happeningduring that episode is Michael
(18:33):
and Daryl are going at eachother because Michael passed up
on Daryl's idea of you knowhaving, you know salesmen having
the?
Um, fuck, what is it?
Having the delivery drivers, um, sell printers, because they're
selling printers and paper now,so when they do their paper
deliveries they can also doprinter sales.
(18:55):
And apparently it was a reallygood idea that Michael passed up
and you know they get.
I was laughing because thefucking thing that makes me
laugh about that is that youknow, michael has always made
childish remarks to Daryl, likeDaryl isn't an adult, like he's
drawn pictures and he said, oh,that's cute, we're going to put
(19:15):
it on the fridge.
Like being a real dick about it.
I'm like, bro, you can't bethat way.
And then be surprised when acolleague gets mad at you for
not taking an idea seriously andDaryl makes good points.
And Daryl makes good points.
Like Michael has always kepthim in the same spot and not,
you know, trusted Daryl to makegood decisions that would
benefit the company, which isinsane.
(19:36):
Like you're squanderingresources, bruh, anything that
would take.
You know Michael has plenty ofopportunities to show that he
can come up with new ideas.
One idea Daryl is sitting downin the warehouse doing nothing
because Michael doesn't let him.
Anyway, fuck it.
So that's my analysis of someof the shit they just do on that
(19:57):
show that just you know youdon't see it the first time
because you're busy laughing atall the dumb shit, but when you
go back and watch stuff which Ihighly recommend of a series
that you like, that's yourfavorite, I highly recommend
going back and watching it, justso that you could be like, oh
wow, that fucking is terrible,like that's the fucking most
terrible plot line they couldhave given that person.
Like, just like with Grey'sAnatomy, let me see this shit.
(20:24):
Just like that real quick.
So just like with Grey'sAnatomy.
Here's the other thing thatpissed me off is the way they
had Alex Karev leave the show.
All right, so they built hisstory.
He became one of the fuckingfavorites.
He started out being a terror,albeit hilariously funny, but he
(20:46):
started out being a terror toall the other interns that he
started with.
Then he becomes a truly goodguy.
He finds someone, he settlesdown, he gets married and all
that.
And then just one day he justfucking leaves and he left a
letter for each of them forfucking, uh Meredith, for Joe,
for um Richard, for Dr Weberexcuse me and for um Dr Bailey.
(21:08):
Like all of them got letters, Ithink, and it was the most
Sawfest episode there ever was.
Okay and as much as I liked Alex, what a shitty way to end your
story by saying spoiler alertthat you're going back to
fucking Izzy because Izzy kepttheir sperm from when she had
cancer and thought she was gonnadie.
(21:28):
She stored her eggs and decidedto use those eggs and give
birth to your children withouttelling you.
That's crazy.
It's a plot twist nobody sawcoming.
But that's not how you do thatcharacter, like he dropped off
the face of the earth to do whatI love, how these actors who
get big off these shows for like20 years at a time go.
(21:51):
Okay, now it's time to start mycareer out of that series.
Bro, you're old now, you're notJon Hamm.
Jon Hamm is one of thosemotherfuckers.
He got what he got known whenhe was fucking in his forties
and now he's still going on todo shit.
He was just in um, fucking shit.
What is it?
Oh my God, what is the name ofthat show?
(22:13):
Hold up, hold up, hold up.
Good Omens.
He was just in Good Omens asGod, as Gabriel, okay, and he's
still recognized as Jon Hamm.
Who the fuck even knows theactor who plays Alex Karev?
Alex, the guy who plays AlexKarev was in um the Wedding
(22:33):
Planner.
I don't remember what his namewas, but he was like an Italian
who Jennifer Lopez's dad wastrying to set.
Oh, massimo, that's what hisname was.
Stupid fucking movie he wastrying to be.
She was like in love withMatthew McConaughey and Matthew
McConaughey turned out to bemarried or getting married,
excuse me and they were.
(22:54):
She was their wedding planner.
And Mossimo ends up being likesome Italian that her dad meets,
that he wants to set her upwith, set up JLo with.
That's so stupid, but it's like, that's it.
What else is that actor doingright now?
Nothing.
I don't even know his real name.
I couldn't even tell you Likeand then fucking who else?
(23:15):
Who else left?
Well, at least we know thatfucking Patrick Dempsey does
some stuff he's into like racingand shit now, which is crazy,
but whatever Still looks good.
He came back for a coupleepisodes of the fucking spoiler
alert death sequence withMeredith limbo sequence, I
should say, which I didn'tfinish.
I did not finish that seasonwhere she was like half dying
(23:37):
from COVID or exhaustion ordehydration or all the above.
But I think I just mightrestart the series.
I think I'm on season two orwhatever, but I I can't believe
they've gotten through so manyseasons.
It's fucking insane and I'mjust like, whatever, all right,
let's check out some news,because I don't have anything
(23:59):
interesting to report on.
We got an M Night Shyamalanlawsuit trial.
Let's see Open this, please.
M Night Shyamalan starts atrial for 81 million lawsuit
alleging his show Servant stoleideas from a 2013 movie.
Holy fuck, okay.
Italian born filmmakerFrancesca Gregorini claims the
(24:21):
Apple TV Plus series copiedconcepts from the Truth About
Emmanuel.
M Night Shyamalan is on trialfor alleged copyright
infringement.
The Sixth Sense filmmaker facesa lawsuit from Italian director
, francesca Gregorini, whoclaims that Shyamalan's Apple TV
Plus show Servant stolesubstantially similar concepts
from her 2013 film.
Truth About Emmanuel, began infederal court in Riverside,
(24:51):
california on Tuesday.
This article is from January15th.
By the way, representatives forShyamalan, apple and the
defendant's legal team didn'timmediately respond to
Entertainment Weekly's requestfor comment.
Gregorini's complaint, which EWhas reviewed, says that
Shyamalan implausibly claimshe's never seen Emanuel.
Gregorini is seeking $81million from Servants creators,
including Apple and Shyamalan,who was present in the courtroom
(25:13):
for opening arguments.
However, most of Tuesday'sopening arguments focused not on
Shyamalan, who served asshowrunner, executive producer
and occasional director on thefour-season series, but on
Servants creator, tony Baskallop, who was also defendant in the
case.
In an opening statement,gregorini's attorney, patrick
Orenz, observed that both thetruth about Emanuel and Servant
(25:34):
center on a delusional motherwho cares for a lifelike doll
and bonds with a nanny whoindulges her by taking care of
the doll as if it were a realchild, according to the court
transcript.
So the show here I thinkthey'll explain this Servant
sprang ideas that Baskalop hadconceived for a previous
iteration of the Supernaturalproject titled Practically
Perfect, and Ahrens argued thatthe screenwriter amended his
(25:57):
work to add a doll and adelusional mother in 2016, when
he presented the concept toShyamalan, three years after
Emanuel premiered at theSundance Film Festival.
Ahrens claimed that Shyamalanand his colleagues love the
reborn doll upon hearingBaskalov's pitch.
It's so compelling, fresh, edgy.
It's definitely the big idea ofthe show.
They also love the concept, theawesome concept between the
(26:20):
mother character and the nannycharacter.
Ahrens also argued that Emanuelis based on Miss Gregorini's
life experiences, because it wasabout her efforts to protect
her mother when she wassuffering from an addiction and
keeping up the delusion thateverything was fine at home.
So let me see, I don't reallycare about any of this, so let's
see.
(26:40):
So the movie, so the show, theServant on Apple TV Plus is
basically about this mother whois, you know, pretending a
lifelike doll is her actual son,and supernatural shit starts
happening when they welcome thisnanny, this live-in nanny, into
their house, this doll babyactually starts moving and
(27:01):
crying and whatever, like a realbaby.
So they think it has to do withthe nanny who, I guess, is the
servant of the Lord, whatever.
Think it has to do with thenanny who, I guess, is the
servant of the Lord, whatever.
And it's a good show.
I haven't finished it yet.
The only.
There's so many like things,though, about that that I don't
like.
Like the girl is very.
There's a lot of holes in thisgirl's background.
(27:22):
Okay, she came from a cult andall this other shit, and it was
very religious, she's verydevout.
And then, of course, you know,the first season shows.
The first season finale showsthe people coming back for her
to take her from this familywho's basically given her a food
, shelter and everything else sothat she could continue this.
You know, farce of this dollbeing alive.
(27:45):
And once, of course, she leaves, the baby goes with her or the
baby goes back to being a doll.
I forget, I have to rewatchthis too, um, but of course they
have to find her now.
They have to find the nannybecause she obviously the mom is
cracked out of her mind andbelieves that this doll is alive
(28:07):
and she wants the alive dollback and she thinks that since
the nanny left the house, thisis what's happening and it's
like, um, what the fuck happenedhere?
And it's like, uh, it's justweird.
It's just so.
It's a weird show.
I liked it for a second and thenI fell off of it because you
know, it was during COVID andall this shit and I was going
(28:33):
through a lot of stuff mentallyand I just gave up on it.
But I might go back into it.
It might be an interestingwatch a second time around, like
I rewatched it and I see thingsI didn't catch the first time.
And you know me, I like to siton my phone and while I watch
shit and play around andwhatever, whatever.
So that might be interesting.
I don't know that this is goingto hold up, especially
considering the fact thatthere's let's see.
I wonder how it's going to go,to be honest with you, because
(28:58):
there's a lot of evidence thatcould point to this being
similar to the life of Emmanuel,but I've never seen it to know,
so I can't really tell you.
Oh cool, my stuff was delivered.
I'm not going to grab it yet,so I can't really tell you oh
cool, my stuff was delivered.
I'm not going to grab it yet.
Let's see.
I am done reading about thisJustin Baldoni shit.
I am, however, into this WendyWilliams thing, so let's take a
(29:23):
peeky-poo at that.
Wendy Williams insists she's notcognitively impaired and is
trapped in a conservatorship.
I feel like I'm in a prison.
The former talk show host gavea harrowing account of her life
under court-appointed guardianSabrina Morrissey.
Wendy Williams was in tears onThursday, january 16th, as she
begged to get out of herconservatorship and return to
life outside the walls of thewellness facility in New York
City in which she's been orderedto live.
(29:44):
Appearing on the Breakfast Clubfor a rare interview, the former
television show host 60, spokeout about her situation to host
Charlamagne the God.
I'm not cognitively impaired,but I feel like I'm in prison.
William said I'm in this placewith people who are in their 90s
and their 80s and their 70s.
These people there's somethingwrong with these people here on
this floor.
I'm clearly not what you'reclearly not.
(30:04):
What bitch crazy.
Listen, this system is broken.
Let me see this system that Iam in.
The system is falsified a lot.
For the last three years I havebeen caught up in the system.
She went on to explain that shespends all her days in her room,
taking all her meals in bed andwatching TV.
I can call you, but you can'tcall me.
William said I don't even knowwhat kind of phone I have.
I can't sit on the phone andlook at things and scroll
(30:25):
through things.
I can't do that.
I do not have a laptop.
I do not have an iPad.
It's essentially what somepeople would call a luxury
prison.
Williams' niece, alex Finney,who joined her aunt for the
interview, explained it's small.
She has a bed, a chair, a TV, abathroom and she's looking out
one window at buildings acrossthe street.
(30:53):
Williams claimed the facilitydoes not let her come or go as
she pleases, with elevatorslocked.
Visitors are restricted, somuch so that even Breakfast Club
personality Lauren LaRosawasn't allowed to see her,
despite Williams speaking to thefront desk herself and
requesting LaRosa come up.
The facility also feedsWilliams medications, some of
which, she claimed she doesn'tknow why they've prescribed
Everybody's like a nursemaid, soto speak.
They come in and give yourpills and then they leave.
I've had two pills all my life.
There are seven pills.
I have no idea what this pillis doing.
I haven't been to a pill personin a matter of a long time to
(31:15):
ask excuse me, doctor, can youtell me what this pill is for?
When she asked to go see herdoctor for her thyroid, williams
, who has Graves disease, anautoimmune disorder that causes
the thyroid gland to produce toomuch thyroid hormone, was
allegedly told the pill that youhave for your thyroid is
(31:36):
perfect.
This is my life, people.
This is my life.
This is my goddamn life.
Let's see, in the mostemotional parts of the chat,
williams broke down as sheexpressed fears of not being
able to visit her father for hisupcoming 94th birthday.
He lives in Miami whereWilliams hopes to relocate to be
with her family, including herson, kevin Hunter Jr.
I don't know if I'm able to flyto Miami to say happy birthday
to my dad.
That person was holding mehostage.
I don't know if she's going tolet me see my dad for his
birthday.
I'm exhausted thinking aboutwhat if I can't see my dad for
(31:56):
his birthday.
Jesus Christ, how many timesare you going to say it At 94,
the day after?
That is not promised.
It's not promised.
It's not promised before thateither.
Bitch.
Makes no sense to say that Asource with knowledge of the
matter explained that theguardianship court ultimately
decides whether it is safe forWilliams to travel to Florida or
other locations.
She's currently in a facilitywith 24-7 medical care.
We're going to go into whyshe's there in a second.
(32:19):
My life is fucked up.
Williams cried, expressing herconcern about retaliation that
might come from her interview.
What if they take my phone?
I won't be able to talk toanybody.
Asked how fans could helpFinney.
Urge supporters to make as muchnoise as possible using social
media hashtag free Wendy orsupporting various changeorg
petitions and go fund mecampaigns.
Whatever we have to do to makesure my aunt is in a place where
(32:40):
she's living her life indignity, this is still a legal
situation.
So, yes, there are things thatmy aunt can't talk about.
There are things that we as afamily can't talk about, but I
think the thing we can talkabout is that my aunt sounds
great.
I've seen her in a very limitedcapacity.
I've seen her, we've talked,we're talking to her.
This does not match anincapacitated person.
That's why we say she's in aluxury prison, because she's
(33:00):
being held and she's beingpunished for whatever reason
that other people are coming upwith as to why it is she has to
be kept in this position.
We're not asking for a wholelot.
I'm not asking for a whole lot.
All I'm saying is just treatthe woman with dignity and give
her the freedom she deserves.
Morrissey is currently in alegal battle with media
companies, a&e televisionnetworks, lifetime Entertainment
and other affiliates, whichwere involved in the release of
(33:21):
A Where's Wendy Williams?
A docuseries about televisionpersonalities about television
personalities, guardianship,health diagnoses and life after
the Wendy Williams show.
This case arises from thebrutally calculated, deliberate
actions of powerful and cravenlyopportunistic media companies
working together with a producerto knowingly exploit Williams.
The filing alleged in partreferencing Williams'
(33:42):
frontotemporal dementiadiagnosis.
There you go, and he laterfiled a counterclaim denying the
allegations.
Days before the documentarypremiered on lifetime in
february 2024, williams teamrevealed that she had been
diagnosed with progressiveaphasia and frontotemporal
dementia.
A press release shared at thetime noted that she received the
diagnosis of 2023, stating thatthe conditions have already
(34:03):
presented significant hurdles inwendy's life.
Have you seen that clip of herlike fucking seizing on
Halloween.
It's insane.
Her eye looks like it wants topop out of her head.
Ftd is a group of disorders thatoccur when nerve cells in the
frontal and temporal lobes ofthe brain are lost.
According to Johns HopkinsMedicine, this causes the lobes
to shrink.
Ftd can affect behavior,personality, language and
(34:25):
movement.
At this time, no treatments cancure or slow it getting worse.
Wendy is still able to do manythings for herself.
Most importantly, she maintainsher trademark sense of humor
and is receiving the care sherequires to make sure she's
protected and that her needs areaddressed.
She's appreciative of the manykind thoughts and good wishes
being sent her way.
Nearly two months ago, morrisseyshared an update on William's
(34:46):
health In court documentsobtained by People at the Time.
Morrissey said the former talkshow host is cognitively
impaired, permanently disabledand legally incapacitated, but
Finney on the Breakfast Clubseemed to deny that diagnosis.
My aunt hasn't had a medicalevaluation to see if her rights
have been restored.
It's a shame we're in thisplace.
This is how sickening it is andhow tired I am of having to
(35:07):
talk about this and have theseconversations with my aunt,
because it's not just her.
Anyway, let's see as a result.
Let's see Attorney RobertaKaplan, who's suing A&E Lifetime
and the producers of theWhere's Wendy Williams
docuseries.
On behalf of Williams says theformer talk show host suffers
from frontal lobe dementiadegenerative brain disease that
has no cure.
As a result, the state courtfound her to be legally
(35:30):
incapacitated, meaning thatshe's not capable of making
legal and financial decisions onher own.
Unfortunately, because of herdiagnosis, wendy's condition
will only get worse with timeand she will require care for
the rest of her life.
But, as anyone who has had afamily member with dementia
knows, wendy has both good daysand bad days.
It is truly a shame that thereis so much voyeuristic attention
to this right now, since itonly leads to the same kinds of
(35:50):
exploitation that we saw in theso-called documentary.
As alleged in our complaint,last month, williams made a rare
appearance at her son'sgraduation from Florida
International University,surrounded by her family.
Williams sat in a motorizedscooter wearing a sequined
low-cut dress, black boots and alarge w necklace.
I'm not fucking rating people,I don't know.
(36:13):
Sorry, I was in a twitch streamand he rated somebody in any
case, um, some, so here's myproblem.
So there's, there's a commenton it that I'm like yeah, I
understand that, let me see,let's see, because when you look
at her and when you see hermovements and stuff, she
(36:33):
definitely has some kind ofimpairment.
Okay, it's not, you can't hideit.
So the first comment says Ibelieve Wendy does have
cognitive impairment and it's ashame Finney doesn't see it.
Look at the documentary.
What concerns me is why herfamily can't visit or even one
or two members, saying she issafe and protected.
What a joke.
She's in lockdown.
What a freedom.
What a mess.
So I agree with that.
(36:56):
I agree, the family members seewhat they want to see when they
want to see it.
So at some point it's going tobe too late for her niece to see
this, which is only going to be.
You know, it's only gonna makethings worse.
Like, um, it's better to noticethings upfront than have them
creep up on you later.
Um, I'm gonna have to take mylunch soon in this ship.
(37:20):
Anyway, let's see.
I haven't seen the documentary.
I think I will, but I'm withyou on that regarding isolating
her from her family.
That's why it makes theconservator and financial
advisor suspects.
I don't see the correlationabout a will.
How is having or not having awill relevant?
You know, in case anybodyremembers, she judged Britney
Spears and called her a lot ofmessed up stuff.
Now she knows that BritneySpears felt, knows what Britney
Spears felt like and she's onlydone it for a couple of months.
(37:41):
Britney did it for years, whichis why she went crazy.
Let's see what else does it say?
No-transcript.
(38:16):
Who signed off on this?
Who signed off on thisconservatorship?
Because I'm pretty sure Wendydidn't.
That's like.
My other question is like whatthe fuck's going on, that these
people are just getting throwninto conservatorships left and
right, like, don't like?
Britney Spears ultimatelylooked a little insane.
Ok, she shaved her head, shewent through a nervous breakdown
(38:37):
, but we don't need to havesomeone babysit her.
She's a fucking adult.
I mean, she's going to do whatshe wants to do anyway, and she
was still doing what she wantedto do anyway under a
conservatorship.
But to be honest with you, nowthat she's out of that shit,
when do we really see her?
I think she was at peak BritneySpears when she was acting up
on Instagram and holding knivesand dancing and shit.
(38:57):
I think that was peak Britney.
I think we need that Britneyback.
That shit would be hilariousHilarious in a good way, not
hilarious in a.
Let's watch this fucking carwreck happen.
Anyway, oops, going to hell,it's fine.
Also, don't compareconservatorship to prison,
(39:18):
unless you actually want to bein prison, because, from what I
can tell, prison doesn't seemokay.
Doesn't seem okay, all right,and I find these good ones every
so often.
Every so often I find a goodone.
Mom says her frugal dadcomplained about her daughter's
diner order because it violatedhis rule of etiquette.
(39:40):
This should be good.
The mom said that although herdad grumbled at the table,
things came to a head later thatday when he started complaining
about their lack of manners.
A mom said that she and herteenage daughter were treated to
breakfast by her frugal father,only to later be berated by him
for the price of one of theirmeals.
In a recent post on Reddit am Ithe?
I'm going to assume word isasshole a 44-year-old mom vented
(40:02):
about the situation.
My dad has always been frugal.
She wrote about her 68-year-oldfather.
His frugality has served himwell.
He has a beautiful home,savings, he's been retired for
over 10 years, multiple rentalproperties, etc.
The mom went on to explain thatshe and her 15-year-old daughter
recently drove to Phoenix tovisit him for the weekend and
that during the trip he didsomething a little out of
(40:24):
character he invited them outfor breakfast.
By the way, I thought this wasa whole fucking younger
situation here.
I thought it was like some 44year old dad yelling at a 15
year old girl.
This is a 66 year old man outwith 68 year old man out with
his 44 year old daughter and hisgranddaughter.
Let's get back in.
Typically, my dad cooksbreakfast every morning.
(40:46):
On this particular morning hedidn't feel like it and told us
we were going out.
This is a little unusual, sincehe does not like to eat out due
to the expense.
The woman said her dad tookthem to a casual diner but that
her dad mumbled something underhis breath about after his
granddaughter ordered chickenfried steak.
I heard my dad mumble somethinglike the things you order.
(41:06):
The woman wrote but shared thatoverall it didn't seem like a
big deal at the time, but laterin the day her dad was still
visibly irate and eventuallyexclaimed I can't stand it
anymore.
He then started complainingabout their lack of manners.
He has this rule of etiquettethat says that if someone
invites you out to a meal, youshould never order anything more
expensive than the personthat's paying.
The woman wrote I think it'srude to put that responsibility
(41:28):
on a guest and, as she pointedout, her daughter only ordered a
chicken fried steak, not anoutrageously overpriced meal or
a magnum of champagne.
I don't know what that means.
Not wanting to make anuncomfortable situation worse,
the mom said she apologized forany disrespect he felt.
I'm going back to my dad'shouse this weekend if it comes
up again.
Am I the asshole here?
She asked her fellow redditorsat the conclusion of her post.
(41:49):
No bitch, no, no, you're not.
(42:10):
Let's see extravagant.
At a diner I can't imagineanything on the menu would be
fancy or disproportionatelyexpensive.
Yet another commenter wrotethat while they do keep price in
mind when somebody else ispaying, there's only so much you
can reasonably be expected todo when someone else is paying.
I order something mid-priced,not the most expensive thing,
but not the cheapest thingeither, wrote the Redditor.
I feel this is pretty fair, butordering something that costs
(42:32):
less than the payer's dishsounds silly.
What's she supposed to have?
Bread and water.
She's supposed to have the.
What they come out with foreverybody.
Let's read the comments.
I'm sure these are good.
I just read that rule last weekin the mismanners column.
I bet the other yes responds.
Read mismanners last week too.
Let's say the grandfather.
I don't really care about thatcomment.
(42:52):
That was stupid.
The grandfather in thissituation may have grown up in a
huge family with lots ofsiblings, so eating cheap at the
restaurant when they all wentout may have been the norm.
His upbringing and mindset mayhave been may have still been on
his childhood and teen years.
Being cheap was how such alarge family survived.
Good Lord, she's yourgranddaughter.
How cheap can you be?
I'd never go out to eat withyou again.
You know that's the thing Likefamilies grow up in certain
(43:19):
things.
But you could break thosetraditions.
Even if he did grow up in a bigfamily and they had to like
order cheap to just survive ordidn't have enough money or
whatever, then you don't fuckinggo out.
My mom's thing is that if youdon't have the money to tip
somebody, then don't go out toeat.
Don't.
If you don't have money to tipyour server, don't go out to eat
.
This would be the same thing.
If you can't spot yourgranddaughter and let her eat
whatever she wants to have agood visit, then you don't go
(43:41):
out to eat.
Maybe be in the mood to do whatyou traditionally do, which is
make breakfast.
Don't put it on them or don'teven make your daughter feel
uncomfortable to the point whereshe doesn't want to eat with
you again.
Because if someone did that tome and like, maybe my child,
whatever, like even a familymember, I'd be like you know
what, I'll send you the fuckingmoney.
Like it would come to the pointwhere I would curse at a blood
(44:02):
relative Because that's insane,let me eat what I want.
You offered to do this thing,you offered to do this favor,
and then you're getting pissedoff when people follow through
with the favor, like how much ischicken fried steak anyway?
And what did this fucking guyorder?
I need more details to actuallybe officially mad at this.
I'm mad at it because of basicfacts.
(44:23):
Okay, if I had more information, I'd be mad at it for a
different reason.
But, like sir, you offered togo out and that's what happens.
All right, let's hear anothercomment.
Presumably father quote unquotewith all his good graces allowed
the women at the table to orderfirst, according to the
(44:44):
customary etiquette.
How would either woman knowwhat they were ordering?
How would either woman quoteunquote know that they were
ordering something moreexpensive?
Was this done ill-intentioned?
Quote unquote test as theinvitation to go out so rarely
happens.
This sounds like gaslightingand a bug if a step, even if not
a lighthearted chuckle and asubtle comment about the needs
of growing children, should putthe issue to rest.
Nope, I don't know how Ilearned the same thing, but I
(45:08):
never would order something moreexpensive than the pay.
That said, it appears dad isconcerned with good manners and
etiquette.
If that is basing this on goodmanners, he needs to learn a few
himself.
First of all, you shouldn'tinvite someone to a restaurant
and then criticize them for theorder of their cost.
Ding, ding, ding bad manners.
I wonder if he's always beencritical like this, or is it
something new?
Could he have had a TIA?
(45:28):
I don't know what the fuck thatmeans.
I'm just trying to look at allthe different scenarios.
I'd have ordered anotherchicken fried steak to go after
hearing that comment.
How would your daughter evenknow what he was ordering?
That's the thing too.
Is that you know?
Because here's the thing when,even now, when I go out on a
date with my boyfriend, I'll askhim oh, what are you having?
Because I still have the menuin front of me and I don't have
(45:49):
any idea.
But I do have an idea.
I look at what he's orderingand, to be honest with you.
I do kind of look at the price.
I do kind of look at the priceand I base it off my hunger
level.
If I'm crazy hungry I'll belike, hey, is it cool if I have
an appetizer.
I will be polite like that,like I'm not just going to be
like, oh, I assume he has crazymoney to spend on my dinner.
I'm not crazy like that, butit's just so funny Like that.
(46:11):
She ordered too much.
Good job, team on the call.
I'm checking with the deal desk.
Bitch, I don't give a fuck forany of that.
Sorry, reading work stuff, butI don't give a fuck about none
of that shit.
That lady Stephanie had mepissed off.
I don't give a fuck about therest of their company for the
rest of the day.
Let's see.
Oh, they came out with a newvirus.
That's the last one.
I'm going to close this outwith HMPV.
(46:36):
So this came out.
All right, bitch.
No, no, I don't want to.
No, I don't want to.
You know what?
(46:56):
Hold on a second.
Okay, bruh, let's see what.
Hold up when your offer applied.
Okay, cool, subscribe.
I just want to read this article.
I don't really care if I haveto pay for it.
I'll just cancel it.
If I remember it's a dollar.
Oh, it's four bucks.
(47:16):
Who cares?
All right, I really want toread this.
Come on, bruh, this is stupid.
Okay, can I go back to thearticle now, please?
Thanks so much, okay, bruh.
Okay, cool, thank you so much.
Can I fucking read this shit?
Oh, bitch, you're being crazy.
There we go.
(47:37):
What we know about HMPV, thecommon virus spreading in China.
Let's see this shit.
Published January 7th, notright now, in the app.
Bruh Reports of a surge incases of a respiratory virus in
China have evoked dark echoes ofthe start of the COVID-19
pandemic exactly five years ago.
So this is why I'm reading this, just to be like.
(47:57):
Really, despite the surfacesimilarities, this situation is
very different and far lessworrisome.
It is one of several pathogensthat circulate across the world
each year, causing respiratoryillnesses.
Hmpv is common, so common thatmost people will be infected
while they are still childrenand may experience several
infections in their lifetimes.
Wonderful In countries withmonths of cold weather, hmpv can
(48:21):
have an annual season, muchlike the flu, while in places
close to the equator, itcirculates at lower levels all
year long.
Great HMPV is similar to avirus that is better known in
the US respiratory syncytialvirus or RSV.
It causes symptoms much likethose associated with flu and
COVID, including cough fever,nasal congestion and wheezing.
So glad I spent $4 for this.
(48:42):
Most HMPV infections are mildlyresembling bouts of the common
cold, but severe cases canresult in bronchitis or
pneumonia, particularly amonginfants, older adults and
immunocompromised people.
Hello, patients withpre-existing lung conditions
such as asthma, chronicobstructive pulmonary disease,
copd or emphysema are at higherrisk of severe outcomes.
Hello, that's your girl.
In higher income countries, thevirus is rarely fatal.
(49:07):
In lower income countries withweak health systems and poor
surveillance, details are morecommon.
Are they talking about Florida?
How long has this virus beenaround?
The virus was identified in 2001.
So, wait a minute.
So we've had this thing goingon for 24 years.
It says check this shit out.
This sentence kills me.
The virus was identified in2001, but researchers say it has
circulated in humans for atleast 60 years.
(49:29):
Though it is not new, itdoesn't have the name
recognition of influenza, covidor even RSV.
Great One reason is that it israrely discussed the name
recognition of influenza, covidor even RSV.
Great One reason is that it israrely discussed by name, except
when people are hospitalizedwith a confirmed case of it.
Cool.
How does a person get infected?
The virus spreads primarilythrough droplets or aerosols
from coughing or sneezing,through direct contact with an
(49:50):
infected individual or throughexposure to contaminated
surfaces.
Basically the same way.
People get cold flus and COVIDEnough.
Is there a vaccine or atreatment?
There is no vaccine againstHMPV, but there is a vaccine for
RSV and research is underway tofind a vaccination that can
protect against both.
With one shot, Double death.
There is no antiviral treatment.
(50:11):
Treatment focuses on managementof symptoms.
What is China saying about it?
China, the Chinese authorities,have acknowledged that HMPV
cases are increasing, but haveemphasized that the virus is a
known entity and is not a majorconcern.
Has anyone seen that movieContagion?
I went and I saw that movie.
Yeah, I'm not reading thatarticle anymore because who
cares?
That movie Contagion was socrazy when it first came out
(50:32):
that I was scared to be alive.
So my mother and I went to gosee this movie during the day I
don't remember if it was duringthe week, but it was like not
really an empty movie theater,but it was one of the old school
ones.
I used to love that movietheater.
I think I need to see a moviethis weekend.
It was called the Distinta.
It no longer exists.
They bulldozed it.
I guess sales and shit wentdown from whatever.
(50:53):
Maybe it went down because ofCOVID, who knows?
I need movie popcorn for sure.
That movie theater was the shit.
Okay.
I used to love going there.
The ticket prices were bomb.
They were not crazy like AMCand all these other expensive
joints, which is probably whythey went out of business, but
they used to make crazy moneyoff me and my mom on the
(51:15):
weekends and we used to.
We went and we saw this movieContagion.
Let me see how old this fuckingmovie is.
It was really good, but it wasvery scary because of how real
it could be.
Let me just see Contagion 2011.
We're in 2025.
This movie is 14 years old.
It had Jude Law, matt Damon,kate Winslet like it had so many
(51:39):
big names in it MarionCotillard for no reason, she got
taken as like a prisoner forsome reason.
Lawrence Fishburne, gwynethPaltrow, bryan Cranston I forgot
was in it.
Sanaa Lathan was in it.
Dimitri Martin was in it.
All of these people, john Hawks, elliot Gould he's dead.
There's so many fucking peoplein this movie I might have to
(52:02):
watch again.
It was a good movie and itscared the fuck out of me
Because, again, of how real andhow real this could be.
How dirty people are, howcommunal things like going to a
bar and putting your hand inlike some almonds or whatever or
some you know bar nuts,whatever is crazy, this shit.
I'm gonna read this.
(52:22):
What is it?
Synopsis, whatever.
When beth emhoff, who's gwynethpaltrow's character, returns to
minnesota from a hong kongbusiness trip, she attributes
the malaise she feels to jet lag.
However, two days later, bethis dead and and doctors tell her
shocked husband that they haveno idea what killed her.
Soon, many others start toexhibit the same symptoms and a
global pandemic explodes.
(52:43):
Doctors try to contain thelethal microbe, but society
begins to collapse.
As blogger fans, the flames ofparanoia, jude Lawd's character.
This is basically the precursorfor COVID, if I could say that,
because eight years later wehad COVID and this is exactly
what fucking happened.
Pretty much.
So I just like the layout ofthe movie.
(53:06):
I like how they have all thesecharacters lives intertwined.
They explain how everybody isinvolved in this epidemic
pandemic, whatever you want tocall it.
I think there's a pandemic inthe fucking thing.
Don't remember, don't care,it's right in front of me.
Sorry, I hit the thing, I hitmy mic, so if you hear that,
click my bad.
It was just.
It was a movie for its time thatreally brought the reality of
(53:29):
what pandemics can do to acivilization.
There was quarantining in yourown home, there was staying away
from other people, nobody,there was like nothing on the
shelves in the stores, peoplegoing crazy.
And once you got it, you got it.
But this was way worse because,you know, immunocompromised and
older population got affectedby COVID and it turned into a
(53:52):
whole other thing, like itturned into yeah, you're
definitely going to die.
Okay, I worked in a nursing home.
That place never shut downthrough this entire thing.
So, even though I had a mask onat work, there was always a
concern, but they would swab us,I think on a weekly basis at
least.
And if you traveled to a place,if you traveled to a state that
(54:13):
was not considered safe, notsafe, but I don't remember.
But what's funny is I went toGeorgia.
No, no, no, I went to Maryland.
I went to Maryland, which wasconfirmed to be safe before I
left, and, of course, while Iwas out there and came back,
they said no, sorry.
So what they did was I had togo in be tested, then I had to
(54:34):
leave and couldn't go back towork until they got my results.
Obviously, I was negativebecause me and the person I was
seeing at that time were onlywith each other and we were
outdoors for most of it.
We would did a lot of hikingand whatnot.
Um, he was a piece of shit who,uh, I don't know, couldn't enjoy
anything unless it had nicotinein it or marijuana.
What a shitty ass trip that Ipaid for anyway.
(54:59):
Um, but, yeah, contagion.
So here's the funny part aboutit.
So I could wrap this up so thatmy brain gets back to work on
normal shit.
Uh, essentially what happenedis that we were in the movie.
We saw the movie there.
At the end it tells you exactlywhat happened to her.
But they go through the wholeprocess of people dying and
they're trying to fucking comeup with the fucking vaccine for
(55:21):
it.
And of course, you know, one ofthe scientists takes it upon
herself to just be the testdummy because she's like so
tired of all these things goingwrong and she's like what's the
worst that could happen?
I die Like yeah, bitch, that is, it is literally the worst
thing that could happen.
So she gives up after fightingwith her partner, just stabs
herself with it and like, justgave up and then she was fine.
(55:44):
And then they used her bloodand what they mixed together for
the vaccine, for the cure, andthen everyone would line up and
get this vaccine.
That's basically what happened,and I think her dad either she
did it for her dad because herdad was in the hospital and she
wanted him to survive and Iguess she knew the risks I think
(56:04):
it was the CDC.
She knew the risks involved,but she was so over it.
She was tired of seeing allthese people die around her.
She was tired of all her testsfailing and she didn't know what
else to do.
So she's so fucking brave to dothat.
I mean, she was probably likein her late twenties um, fucking
brilliant to be in a job likethat, where you have to come up
(56:24):
with a vaccine to fix a fuckingillness.
Uh, and yes, I say fixed.
I don't care about cure, I'm nota scientist, I don't care about
the terminology, but it's agood movie.
If you haven't seen it, go seeit.
I haven't spoiled too much ofit because I didn't tell you
what happens at the end really.
But it is good.
It's very intense too.
(56:45):
It gets to a point where you'relike, should I be staring this
long at this?
Because it's very quiet?
It's not like it has asoundtrack or a laugh track or
anything like that.
Then you got Jude Law'scharacter, who comes in and he's
a social media person, so he'sputting his face everywhere
saying, um, one of this thing,this home remedy he found for
(57:05):
Scythia I think he calls it uh,helps stave away the effects,
whatever.
Spoiler alert, he's wrong.
Um, fortunately, though, Idon't think he gets sick.
I don't remember.
I haven't seen it in a whileand it's not one of those movies
you rewatch, but I think Imight have to rewatch it, um,
but yeah, it's a really goodmovie.
If you haven't had a chance,it's called contagion.
(57:26):
Uh, kate Winslet's character isimportant too, because she
comes through and she's one ofthe field workers.
She goes out in the field andis staying in hotels and stuff,
and in that time where there'sthis illness going around, she
is staying in hotels voluntarilyto try and suss this whole
situation out.
She's seeing people in thetrenches, she's got her hazmat
(57:46):
suit on and then it's just areally good show.
Lawrence Fishburne being who heis in that, he's like the head
of something at the CDC, soobviously there's special treat
for him and his wife and hisfamily and all that.
But you know it's, it's reallygood.
I would recommend it.
I forgot how good a fuckingmovie that is.
(58:09):
If you get a chance, watch it.
I don't know where it's at,though.
Let me see, let me Google andhelp you guys out, figure out
where you can watch it so youcan see it on.
You have to.
You can watch it so you can seeit on.
You have to.
Unfortunately, you got to rentit.
Amazon Prime has it.
I don't know what Philo is, orPhilo however you say it.
Google Play movies and TV,apple TV and Fandango at home.
Again, good movie.
I recommend seeing it.
It just puts a lot ofperspective on things and what
(58:33):
we don't know is people that aregoing on the background with
these viruses that come out.
But yeah, I think that's it forme, because I'm getting tired
and my throat's getting reallydry and I'm getting hungry for
some reason, because it's 246.
And I've already.
I had lunch at like 11.
So every four hours?
Yeah, makes sense.
I will catch y'all next week.
I will hopefully have more totalk about.
Maybe we'll review some moremovies.
(58:53):
Maybe I'll watch a movie thisweekend, who knows?
I'm watching Deadly Women rightnow and you know all these
women are stupid that arekilling these people and
thinking they're going to getaway with it.
There was one sad one.
We'll get into it next week Notsad, but just like how the fuck
.
But we'll talk about that nextweek.
I love you guys.
Thank you so much again forlistening.
You know I appreciate you guyscoming back week after week.
Tell your friends, tell yourfamily to take a take a peek at
(59:16):
this.
Don't even care if any coworkers for my job here, to be
honest with you, because we allfucking know it's a shit show
from nine to five or eight to430.
Whatever your shift may be, butI'll catch y'all next week.
