Build those, uh, parasocialrelationships.

squadcaster-3jfg_1_01-17 (01:20):
Right, you know every podcast has that
section where they say, How wasyour week?
That's this.
This is its own stand aloneepisode.
So,

lb_1_01-17-2025_203211 (01:30):
Yep.

squadcaster-3jfg_1_01-17-20 (01:31):
how was your week, Laura?

lb_1_01-17-2025_203211 (01:33):
It was good.
I went, uh, on a trip, abusiness trip, which was nice
and, uh, I don't get out much,man, especially not to like big
cities.
I was in Chicago and I was like,holy shit.

squadcaster-3jfg_1_01-17- (01:47):
Love, Chicago.

lb_1_01-17-2025_203211 (01:48):
is a whole new world.
I have been very sequestered forthe past five years from COVID
and children and,

squadcaster-3jfg_1_01-17-2 (01:56):
I've been staying out all night!

lb_1_01-17-2025_203211 (01:59):
it's, it was, it was, it was cool.
It was a lot, but

squadcaster-3jfg_1_01-1 (02:04):
outside of work?
Did you do anything fun?

lb_1_01-17-2025_203211 (02:06):
I did, I, well, I mean, like there was
like the work.
You know, get togethers, the twonights, which was fine.
You know, it was fun.
I enjoyed meeting my co workersin person.
That was actually pretty great.
You can cold, you can, you canpry work from home from my cold
dead hands, but there issomething about meeting people
in person.

(02:26):
You really do learn a lot moreabout them and, you know, I like
to drink and be social.
So I had a good time at all ofthose things.

squadcaster-3jfg_1_01-17 (02:33):
that's good.

lb_1_01-17-2025_203211 (02:34):
Yeah.

squadcaster-3jfg_1_01-17-20 (02:34):
you ever wish there was like, An
app, maybe not an app, but likesomewhere you could just like
maybe pay someone, maybe like amale geisha, like somebody like
you could go out.
That's not a coworker thatsomebody you could just like
talk to and like kind of have alittle flirt flirt with, like
not do anything with, like nothave an affair with, you know,
there's no expectation of that,

lb_1_01-17-2025_203211 (02:54):
called, literally called escorts,

squadcaster-3jfg_1_01-17- (02:56):
yeah, but no, because that implies
sex.
I

lb_1_01-17-2025_203211 (02:58):
but you can choose not to have sex.

squadcaster-3jfg_1_01-17-2025 (03:00):
I mean, surely.
Yeah.
But you can't tell your spouseyou want an escort,

lb_1_01-17-2025_203211 (03:05):
I don't think you could tell your spouse
you're paying a man to flirtwith you at dinner.

squadcaster-3jfg_1_01-17- (03:10):
well, not a dinner, but like take, you
know, go out with or some thingsyou don't have to make friends.
I don't know.
It's just hard.
Like if you were in Chicago, Idon't want to run around with my
coworkers.
That sounds like a powder keg,right?
But I do want to like go out andsee stuff.
And sure, you could do it byyourself and then meet some
people.
But then that has moreconnotation, right?
Because one time I was like, Um,one time I was in San Francisco,

(03:33):
I think I talked about this.
I don't know if it was on air ornot about how I went with my
blonde friends and like I wasinvisible.
Um, but the one person who wastalking to me and it was like,
you know, we were like, it was asmall talk.
Like why are you here?
Like, what do you do?
Like blah, blah, blah, blah.
And he was like, Oh, maybe Icould show you guys around and
blah, blah, blah, blah.
And I was like, Oh yeah.
You know, just letting you knowI'm married.

(03:54):
And then he just turned aroundand walked away and I was like,
Oh, so the whole, yeah, thewhole point

lb_1_01-17-2025_203211 (03:59):
all subterfuge.

squadcaster-3jfg_1_01-17 (04:01):
Right, so if you could just pay someone
to be nice to you and like goaround with you and have like
conversation.

lb_1_01-17-2025_203211 (04:08):
Well, all I did is, so the last day I
was there, the conference endedat noon.
My flight didn't leave until,well, boarding wasn't until six
o'clock.
So I had a good chunk of time.
So I went down to theMagnificent Mile and did a bunch
of shopping slash walkingaround.

(04:29):
I ended up buying one thing.

squadcaster-3jfg_1_01-17-202 (04:32):
Is that shirt?

lb_1_01-17-2025_203211 (04:33):
The shirt, which did you like, by
the way, I texted you and youdid not respond and if you liked
it or not.

squadcaster-3jfg_1_01-17-2025 (04:39):
I said it wasn't my I wouldn't
have bought I would never haveseen it and tried it on.
It was nice.
It's a nice shirt.
I don't have good fashion sense,so I don't know what's good and
what's not.
I'm wearing a baseball tee thatsays Goose

lb_1_01-17-2025_203211 (04:51):
I'm wearing a

squadcaster-3jfg_1_01-17-2 (04:51):
Also from Chicago.

lb_1_01-17-2025_203211 (04:53):
It's not about if it's cool.
The question is like, does itlook okay?

squadcaster-3jfg_1_01-17-2025 (04:59):
I wouldn't think it didn't.

lb_1_01-17-2025_203211 (05:01):
Okay, then There you go.
All right.
Don't text you for fashionadvice anymore.
Got it.

squadcaster-3jfg_1_01-17- (05:07):
yeah, well, I don't Respond fast, you
know that

lb_1_01-17-2025_203211 (05:10):
didn't need you to be, I didn't see a
response period.
It was just

squadcaster-3jfg_1_01-17-2025 (05:14):
I

lb_1_01-17-2025_203211 (05:15):
into a whole nother topic.
Well, it got lost.
I'm gonna have

squadcaster-3jfg_1_01-17-202 (05:18):
it said I said it's not my cup of
tea But it doesn't somethinglike that.
It doesn't look bad or you know,I don't remember what it was I
just said again, I would nothave found it on the rack picked
it up and been like I like this

lb_1_01-17-2025_203211 (05:30):
think it looks kind of seventies.
That's why I like it.
Like the, the floral

squadcaster-3jfg_1_01-17-202 (05:34):
In my memory, it's a rainbow color.
It's kind of like a lisa frankesque like rainbow Gradient

lb_1_01-17-2025_203211 (05:40):
it's floral.
It's Flo, it's Navy with floralon it.
It's fine.
Whatever.
I'm

squadcaster-3jfg_1_01-17-2 (05:47):
It's a good shirt.
Obviously you bought it

lb_1_01-17-2025_203211 (05:51):
I bought it because I had just convinced
myself not to buy the 2, 000coat I wanted to buy.

squadcaster-3jfg_1_01-17-2 (05:56):
It's your consolation.

lb_1_01-17-2025_203211 (05:58):
is, it was my consolation prize because
I, the fucking shirt was 68.
At Anthropologie.
Oh, yeah, way too much.
I would have never bought thatat home, but because I had been
shopping for hours and justwalking

squadcaster-3jfg_1_01-17-2 (06:11):
want something.

lb_1_01-17-2025_203211 (06:13):
I want something, so I bought it.
I mean, I think we might have torevisit this Canada Goose
counterfeit conversation becauseI'm seriously considering

squadcaster-3jfg_1_01-17-20 (06:23):
And that's a coat for folks who
aren't in the know, becauseLaura's like, should I buy a
Canada goose from China?
And I was like, I don't knowwhat any of that

lb_1_01-17-2025_203211 (06:31):
Yeah!

squadcaster-3jfg_1_01-17-202 (06:34):
If you're going to buy a long goose
from China, yes, that's my gutsays yes.
And then you can put a coat onthat.

lb_1_01-17-2025_203211 (06:41):
No, it's a super, like, heavy duty, like,
it started, Canada Goose startedas literally a, like, a supplier
to government employees who hadto work in the Arctic tundra of
Canada.
It is now a very bougie, like,coat shop, thus it being, it,

(07:03):
uh, uh,

squadcaster-3jfg_1_01-17- (07:04):
sense that it would be in Chicago,

lb_1_01-17-2025_203211 (07:06):
Oh my God, it was so fucking cold.

squadcaster-3jfg_1_01-17-20 (07:09):
you have a garage, like, you park
inside, so I don't know when youwould wear it, to be fair.

lb_1_01-17-2025_20321 (07:15):
Honestly, that is a really good point.
When you texted me that thisafternoon, I was like, Okay,
fair.
Because I did just spend twodays walking around Chicago, in
which I was like, Motherfucker!

squadcaster-3jfg_1_01-17-2025 (07:26):
I need a Canada, I need whatever,
a down coat.

lb_1_01-17-2025_203211 (07:29):
Yeah.
And I went the expeditionarycoat, which is the literal one
that they take to Mount Everest,and the most expensive coat that
they sell.

squadcaster-3jfg_1_01-17-2025 (07:41):
I mean, it's nice, but if you're
gonna spend that much on a coat,like, get one that at least goes
to your knees, in my opinion.

lb_1_01-17-2025_203211 (07:47):
No, that's why I like it I

squadcaster-3jfg_1_01-17-202 (07:50):
it doesn't go to your knees?

lb_1_01-17-2025_203211 (07:52):
I it's like hip length.
It's like right below the hip.

squadcaster-3jfg_1_01-17- (07:55):
Yeah, but that's out of style.

lb_1_01-17-2025_203211 (07:57):
I don't give a fuck about style, Rachel.
I

squadcaster-3jfg_1_01-17- (07:59):
spend 2,

lb_1_01-17-2025_203211 (08:00):
care.
They haven't changed the designin like fucking 40 years.
Like the coat is the coat.

squadcaster-3jfg_1_01-17-202 (08:06):
to be fair, my, my puffer coat that
goes to my knees, my thighs areroasty toasty.
So, like, you need that extra.

lb_1_01-17-2025_203211 (08:13):
No,

squadcaster-3jfg_1_01-17-202 (08:13):
My shins have never been cold, but
my thighs, they're cold.
They're warm.
They're cold and warm.
Now cold, water cold, now warm.

lb_1_01-17-2025_203211 (08:23):
Well, speaking of buying things, so As
I was spending hours on theMagnificent Mile and shopping,
you know, I'm, I'm very antipurchasing, right?
But so, like, I came in therewith the idea of like, Oh, this
is just like a look and see andjust like walk around and trip

(08:43):
and after a few hours I wantedto fucking buy everything.
And I was, it does, becauseapparently I am very immune to
like online advertising, but inperson.
And it.
It may, I'm like, how quicklycan everyone be reprogrammed to
not want to buy things onlinebecause buying things in person

(09:03):
is so much better.

squadcaster-3jfg_1_01-17 (09:05):
Except you have to leave your house,
and you can't do it while winedrunk on a Tuesday.

lb_1_01-17-2025_203211 (09:10):
sure you can, just not in your house.
But I mean like it's a longerprocess, right?
Like there's the looking, thetouching, the choosing, the
trying on, you know, the tactileexperience.
Like once you hold something,you're like, Ooh, I want it, you
know what I mean?

squadcaster-3jfg_1_01-17-2025 (09:28):
I like, I'm like, it's not worth
it.
I don't know.

lb_1_01-17-2025_203211 (09:32):
Online or in

squadcaster-3jfg_1_01-17-20 (09:33):
I'm not a shopper.
If somebody could pick out allmy outfits for me and I would
just wake up and they'd bethere, I'd do that.
Like I, I don't even care.
If somebody said this is theidealized clothes for you, I'm
sure.
That sounds good.
I'm gonna be like MarkZuckerberg.
Just one outfit every day.
We need

lb_1_01-17-2025_203211 (09:49):
thought that was Steve Jobs.
Does Mark Zuckerberg do that

squadcaster-3jfg_1_01-17- (09:52):
Yeah, they all do that.
It's like a billionaire gottafree my brain up like, oh,

lb_1_01-17-2025_203211 (09:56):
Oh, he's so important!

squadcaster-3jfg_1_01-17-2 (09:57):
like all white dudes don't wear the
same uniform anyway.
My, my husband's put zerothought into his clothes.
You wanna know how he gets them?
His mom buys them for him andthey show up.
Yeah, cause he doesn't put anyeffort into it.
I think, I think he's a 31 yearold man.
I'm not buying him clothes.
We got in a fight.
I went shopping with him oncewhen we were dating in college.

(10:19):
And they told him a shirt lookedtoo big because he was five,
well, because he was six, seven,and a hundred and seventy
pounds.
And he got mad and then hestormed off and ran over my
groceries.
It's one of my favorite stories.
And then, yeah, I, I marriedthat man that ran over my
groceries.
That's good.

lb_1_01-17-2025_203211 (10:38):
On accident, on accident,

squadcaster-3jfg_1_01-17-202 (10:41):
he didn't stop.
My, my poor popsicles werescattered.

lb_1_01-17-2025_203211 (10:47):
It's college.
We're

squadcaster-3jfg_1_01-17- (10:48):
Yeah, why the fuck was I buying
groceries anyway?
I should've just been living offTaco Bell.

lb_1_01-17-2025_203211 (10:53):
Fair.
Your stomach could handle itback then.

squadcaster-3jfg_1_01-17-2025 (10:56):
I know! Geez.

lb_1_01-17-2025_203211 (11:00):
So what's going on with you?

squadcaster-3jfg_1_01-17- (11:03):
Well, it's been a very busy week.
I know that it's not the same asrunning around Chicago living it
up on the Magnificent Mile, butI have discovered, um, A couple
shows on Netflix, which I'lltalk about in a second, but I
also just really want to makesure I talk about this little
band that I've learned aboutthis like little Australian band

(11:24):
that I am now obsessed with.
You may have heard of them,probably not.
Cause I'm like really cool.
And on the edge, but they'recalled the Wiggles,

lb_1_01-17-2025_203211 (11:31):
You

squadcaster-3jfg_1_01-17-20 (11:33):
the Wobbles,

lb_1_01-17-2025_203211 (11:34):
the

squadcaster-3jfg_1_01 (11:35):
kangaroo, Joey kangaroo.

lb_1_01-17-2025_203211 (11:38):
That's the one.

squadcaster-3jfg_1_01-17-20 (11:39):
His walkabout.
No, the Wiggles.
What is going on with them?

lb_1_01-17-2025_203211 (11:44):
I have not heard of the wiggles in, uh,
Maybe 10, 15 years.

squadcaster-3jfg_1_01-1 (11:48):
They're still out there making new music

lb_1_01-17-2025_203211 (11:50):
Are they

squadcaster-3jfg_1_01-17-20 (11:50):
and it's, it's nuts because I found
it on TikTok.
Rest in peace.
Um, and so I started likeplaying the song.
They have a song, verycontentious.
I'll talk about that in asecond, but I started playing a
song for my son and then I'mlike, okay, we're gonna put it
on and then I watched acompilation video or like a
bunch of their little shorts andI don't know what they're doing.

(12:12):
It is both cringy and likeappalling to watch but
impossible to look away from.
It's insane what dark magic theyare working on me.
That I'm just like, me and mykid are just like, wiggles, And
we just sit there and watch itand I'm just like cringing to my

(12:33):
core.
But it's just I can't look away

lb_1_01-17-2025_203211 (12:38):
I, I, I don't know.
Honestly, my biggest referencepoint for them is the

squadcaster-3jfg_1_01-17-202 (12:41):
is 30

lb_1_01-17-2025_203211 (12:42):
on 30 Rock.

squadcaster-3jfg_1_01-17-2025 (12:43):
I had no idea either until this
happened until bouncing balls.
Which is the song, crossed myFor You page, and then I went
down this rabbit hole, and I'mlike bouncing balls.
I think that's an innuendo.
I think this song is low keydirty.
My husband thinks I'm just anall around middle school brained

(13:03):
pervert.
But like, okay, the lyrics, andI was like, I gotta run this by
Laura to make sure I'm not justinsane.
Okay, what are, let me look upsome of the lyrics real quick.

lb_1_01-17-2025_203211 (13:13):
Cause you did send me the video, but I
did not watch the video.
Sorry to say, I was runningaround the

squadcaster-3jfg_1_01-17- (13:19):
Well, yeah, you were at the airport,
so you were a little busy.
It's just this man, like, pelvicthrusting in a children's music
video.
So, the tree of wisdom.
That guy goes hard.
So, it starts off.
This is a quote from the start.
Alright, everybody, it's fitnesstime.
Time to get your balls out.

lb_1_01-17-2025_203211 (13:40):
Okay, but there's jumping on balls,
right?
Like,

squadcaster-3jfg_1_01-17- (13:43):
Well, they're bouncing balls,
bouncing, bouncing balls, yeah,let's bounce some balls.
So, like, basketballs, blah,blah, blah, blah.
And so, I'm like, maybe I amjust dirty minded.
That's it.
But, okay, so here's the linethat I think really seals the
deal.
And I know that a lot ofchildren's media likes to sneak
in adult jokes to keep theirparents entertained.
But this is the one, to me, thatreally seals the deal.

(14:06):
So it goes, Purple balls, redballs, yellow balls too.
You know my favorite ball of allis the color blue.

lb_1_01-17-2025_203211 (14:15):
Okay, definitely I, I definitely can
see where you say that.
But also, who likes blue balls?
Ha ha

squadcaster-3jfg_1_01-17-20 (14:23):
Why of any

lb_1_01-17-2025_203211 (14:24):
But why?
Yeah, that's fair.
I, I totally feel that.

squadcaster-3jfg_1_01-17- (14:27):
cause it's blue balls.
That's, that is a hundo, andit's a girl singing it.
Cause they have women now.

lb_1_01-17-2025_203211 (14:34):
All right.
No.
All right.
I, I see what you're saying.
The girl singing it does more,like,

squadcaster-3jfg_1_01-17-20 (14:41):
but it's not saying that she's
trying to say that she doesn'tlike, she likes to give guys
blue balls.
It was just like, you could havepicked any color.

lb_1_01-17-2025_203211 (14:48):
Yeah.
But the girls sing it because ifa guy were to make a joke, it
was like, my favorite balls areblue balls.
Like, why?
Why would you make that joke?
Of course you don't like blue

squadcaster-3jfg_1_01-17- (14:56):
Well, I think that's thinking too much
into it.
Even it's just like, why is yourfavorite ball blue, blue balls?
I

lb_1_01-17-2025_203211 (15:03):
color blue?

squadcaster-3jfg_1_01-17- (15:05):
don't know.

lb_1_01-17-2025_203211 (15:05):
Who cares?
Your kid's not going to pick itup.
So who gives a shit?

squadcaster-3jfg_1_01-17-20 (15:08):
but I'm just like, Dan, I think this
is like meant to be a littlekid, a little bit dirty.
And Dan was like, you're insane.
So maybe I am insane.
What do you think?
What does the listener

lb_1_01-17-2025_203211 (15:18):
in listeners.
Give us

squadcaster-3jfg_1_01-17-2 (15:20):
tell us

lb_1_01-17-2025_203211 (15:21):
insights on the Wiggle Woggles.

squadcaster-3jfg_1_01-17-20 (15:23):
but okay.
So another thing about thewiggles is that this bouncing
ball one is done.
They do a crossover video withthe Harlem globe trotters,

lb_1_01-17-2025_203211 (15:29):
They're all fun.

squadcaster-3jfg_1_01-17- (15:30):
which I like, I'm enamored with them

charming that it's just likey'all have impeccable presence

go Google Their team and likesee the roster cuz I'm like I
gotta learn more about thesepeople So I scrolled through the

(15:52):
roster and I found out that onthe globe but the global On the
Harlem Globetrotters, there isboth a man who is under 5 feet

Don't leave me that way.
Um, but yeah, so that's that I'mnow deep in the Wiggles

lb_1_01-17-2025_203211 (16:51):
And the Harlem Globetrotters.
I feel like they have a goodstory.
I feel like I read something orlistened to a podcast once about
them.
And it was all very positive,like, there's no scandal, like,
they're all, it's just like,wholesome, all across the board.

squadcaster-3jfg_1_01-17- (17:07):
Yeah, they got ladies on their team
now, too.
So I just like, yeah, yeah, theladies I was like, awesome.
The white dude I was like, mmm,and then I wrote a story I was
like, okay, you pass becauseyou're Polish and the Poles are
like the black folks of

lb_1_01-17-2025_203211 (17:20):
It's true, they truly are.

squadcaster-3jfg_1_01-17-20 (17:23):
you count, you pass, you get a pass
But also I'm watching a coupleshows and I don't know what
you're watching these days So Iwill just throw them out there.
I watched a thriller show calledMissing You, which was so
outrageous Like Egregiouslyridiculous that I would not
recommend it.

lb_1_01-17-2025_203211 (17:42):
What is it about?

squadcaster-3jfg_1_01-17-2 (17:44):
It's a lady detective and like her
dad is a doctor, a policeofficer who was killed and she's
like her fiance disappears soshe's trying to like solve this
mystery of her fiancedisappearing like walking out on
her when

lb_1_01-17-2025_203211 (17:58):
Is it a British one?
Yeah, these are like a dime adozen for like the BBC.

squadcaster-3jfg_1_01-17-202 (18:04):
no it was made for Netflix I think
and

lb_1_01-17-2025_203211 (18:06):
Yeah, but I, I know what you mean
though.

squadcaster-3jfg_1_01-17- (18:08):
Yeah, and like the big villain of the
series was this random man on afarm who was kidnapping like
Five to seven people at a timeto extort money out of them
using phishing through datingprofiles And I'm like, how does
this exist in this tiny littlecountry without anybody catching
on that like People aredisappearing

lb_1_01-17-2025_203211 (18:31):
at a very quick rate.

squadcaster-3jfg_1_01-17-2 (18:33):
they all have the same thing in
common that they're on a datingapp.
It just, it just, it feltcompletely preposterous.
And this woman,

lb_1_01-17-2025_2032 (18:39):
advertised and I thought pass.

squadcaster-3jfg_1_01-17- (18:42):
don't watch it.
There's literally a scene at theend where there's like, the guy,
the big bad, has this lady thathe kidnapped, has his, her son,
and then the lady's standingthere with a shovel and then the
cop runs in with a gun and she'slike trying to talk to him or
whatever.
I'm like, lady, you got ashovel, swing away.
Swing away, to quote signs, justlike, what?

(19:04):
Yeah,

lb_1_01-17-2025_203211 (19:04):
use that one all the time.

squadcaster-3jfg_1_01-17-20 (19:06):
why are you not running and killing
him right this second?
I don't understand.
I just, what are you doing?
Anyways, it was

lb_1_01-17-2025_203211 (19:12):
it says.
I think it's, is that a, I thinkthis is a book.

squadcaster-3jfg_1_01-17-202 (19:16):
It was a book.
It sound like, I can't I likethrillers.
I like them.
I cannot say in any thrillerwhere it's like a big crime
syndicate and there was likesome kind of mafia boss in it.
I just I can't I just that orthe cartel.
Every American one has thecartel in it, and I'm just like
I don't think you people evenreally know what the cartel is.
It's not,

lb_1_01-17-2025_203211 (19:37):
on what it is.
Like, if it's a drug show, yeah,it's the cartel.

squadcaster-3jfg_1_01-17- (19:42):
yeah, but it's like, no, it's like
even the thriller books, likethis girl goes missing and
there's like a secret cartelholdout somewhere in Michigan.
And like that stuff, it justfeels like a, you pull the same
card every time.

lb_1_01-17-2025_203211 (19:54):
Playing Cards Against Humanity, you just
flipped it out.
Cartel!

squadcaster-3jfg_1_01-17-20 (19:58):
and it's just like it's not scary
cuz I don't believe it's gonnacome in It's like what's way
more gripping are the storiesabout like people normal people
doing crazy stuff, but whateverI'm good I'm not an editor here.

lb_1_01-17-2025_203211 (20:11):
yeah.

squadcaster-3jfg_1_01-17-20 (20:12):
And then this one you might like
it's

lb_1_01-17-2025_203211 (20:14):
I'm aware of it.
Yeah, my dad was watching it onNetflix.
He's like, this is reallyfucking good.
And so I'm like, alright, add,add to list.

squadcaster-3jfg_1_01-17- (20:23):
Well, you know your number one hater
here, um certified hater.
I was not jiving with it so muchIt's just over the top violent
for no reason like I know theWild West didn't have rules You
But like people aren't justrunning in and murdering 70
people in one go.
It's just that's just not

lb_1_01-17-2025_203211 (20:42):
It depends on, maybe, you know,
they had mass murder.
Like, what is, is it a serialkiller or

squadcaster-3jfg_1_01-17-202 (20:48):
no It's like they're gonna wipe out
a whole wagon party and

lb_1_01-17-2025_203211 (20:52):
Oh yeah, they did that.
They 100 percent did that.

squadcaster-3jfg_1_01-17-20 (20:56):
and then there's like but there's
also like the Indians are comingacross each other or sorry the
indigenous people are comingacross each other and just like
killing people point blank andit just

lb_1_01-17-2025_20321 (21:07):
happened.
All of those things happened.

squadcaster-3jfg_1_01-17- (21:09):
Yeah, but not within a three day span.

lb_1_01-17-2025_203211 (21:11):
Fair to like the same group.

squadcaster-3jfg_1_01-17- (21:13):
Yeah, it was just, I'd, I'd, Cause I
had just come off reading TheIndifferent Stars Above, which
is about the Donner Party.
And even in the worst situation,those people were still trying
to help each other.
So I just, like, I don't thinkof humanity as inherently, like,
we're gonna come out and killy'all, you know?

(21:33):
It just, it's, I don't know.
Like, there's, it's, they're inBridger, Fort Bridgers, and
there's like, people shootingeach other dead in the street.
It just, it doesn't seem,

lb_1_01-17-2025_203211 (21:43):
I really like Westerns.
So yeah, I think it probablywould be up my alley.

squadcaster-3jfg_1_01-17- (21:47):
might like it.
It's got, um, that actress fromGlow in it, and she's, you know,
blonde.

lb_1_01-17-2025_203211 (21:53):
Do I like blonde women?

squadcaster-3jfg_1_01-17-2025 (21:55):
I don't know, she's got a little
sun with a brace on his leg.
Oh, okay, this is where it lostme, is the opening scene,
they're leaving from St.
Joe, Missouri, and I'm like,that ain't Missouri.

lb_1_01-17-2025_203211 (22:04):
Oh,

squadcaster-3jfg_1_01-17-2 (22:05):
seen Missouri.
They're like leaving from theone train station in St.
Joe and it's just like This isUtah.
Like, y'all didn't even try tomake it look like Missouri.
Like, you didn't even look upwhat Missouri looked like.
It's just very evidently not theMidwest, right?
And it was like, Montana.

(22:25):
I

lb_1_01-17-2025_203211 (22:26):
too many mountains.

squadcaster-3jfg_1_01-17- (22:28):
don't know, it was just, I just, the
landscape's different.
Like, Missouri looks likeMissouri.
And, I mean, Nebraska, sure,maybe.
But, like, Kansas City looks alot like the east side of the
state

lb_1_01-17-2025_203211 (22:38):
yeah,

squadcaster-3jfg_1_01-17-20 (22:39):
for the most part.
So, it's just like, that's, theyprobably never even Considered
Missouri.
They probably don't even knowwhere it is on the map.

lb_1_01-17-2025_203211 (22:46):
Well they also probably don't nobody
films in Missouri or the midwestbecause of uh film credits.
Nobody films there.

squadcaster-3jfg_1_01-17-2025 (22:53):
I know, which is a bummer.
I

lb_1_01-17-2025_203211 (22:55):
is a bummer!

squadcaster-3jfg_1_01-17-2 (22:56):
they were trying, I feel like
everything would be so cheap.
Why not?

lb_1_01-17-2025_203211 (22:59):
I, I know, I, it's something to do
with tax credits, like thegovernment has to pass the tax
credits for like production orart, art, like television or
movie production or whatever youwould call that.
And I often think of it as likeAtlanta got to be like the hub
of everything.
And I'm like, Jelly, why can'twe get people over to Missouri?

squadcaster-3jfg_1_01-17-20 (23:19):
the Ozarks in Georgia.
That might, come on

lb_1_01-17-2025_203211 (23:22):
I know.
Exactly.
It was, it seemed uh, like aslap in the face.

squadcaster-3jfg_1_01-17- (23:26):
Yeah.
We don't have much here.

lb_1_01-17-2025_203211 (23:29):
Yeah, you,

squadcaster-3jfg_1_01-17-20 (23:30):
But we have the Ozarks.
Which I'm pretty sure thecartels were involved in that
one too, so,

lb_1_01-17-2025_203211 (23:35):
They, but it was like, it was a, it
was a, a redneck cartel.
I'm pretty sure

squadcaster-3jfg_1_01-17- (23:40):
Yeah, and I'm not saying that

lb_1_01-17-2025_203211 (23:42):
he grew, they were

squadcaster-3jfg_1_01-17-20 (23:43):
but I don't think they exist.

lb_1_01-17-2025_203211 (23:46):
of the Ozarks.
I don't think that's,

squadcaster-3jfg_1_01-1 (23:49):
Growing heroin?
Is that what you said?

lb_1_01-17-2025_203211 (23:51):
They were growing poppy,

squadcaster-3jfg_1_01-17-20 (23:52):
Oh, I'm like, I'm so far removed.
I'm like, how do you growheroin?
I don't even know.
I thought it was something youmade.

lb_1_01-17-2025_203211 (23:58):
Yeah.
Well, you

squadcaster-3jfg_1_01-17-2 (24:00):
It's an opium,

lb_1_01-17-2025_203211 (24:01):
Yeah, but the, so some, from the
poppies, you do somethingchemically with it to make
heroin.

squadcaster-3jfg_1_01-17- (24:08):
Yeah.

lb_1_01-17-2025_203211 (24:09):
I don't know.
Anyway, I never, I neverfinished.
I

squadcaster-3jfg_1_01-17-20 (24:11):
and I just don't think I just don't
think like these drug rings arelike these master criminals I
think it's just a bunch ofidiots leading idiots.
And that's why they all get shotand killed because it's just

lb_1_01-17-2025_203211 (24:23):
I wouldn't know.
I don't know.
I don't watch a lot of like drugthemed stuff,

squadcaster-3jfg_1_01-17-2 (24:28):
yeah I because I mean maybe in Miami,
I don't know I watched that onewith um, the girl from modern
fan the woman from modernfamily.
I watched that I can't GloriaNo, that's her name in modern
family.

lb_1_01-17-2025_203211 (24:39):
I know which one you're talking about.

squadcaster-3jfg_1_01-17-2 (24:41):
Like sure.
Maybe that's like a bigorganized crime, but like

lb_1_01-17-2025_203211 (24:44):
Oh, definitely in Miami, yeah.

squadcaster-3jfg_1_01-17- (24:46):
Yeah, but I mean even still it like is
it

lb_1_01-17-2025_203211 (24:50):
To watch Sicario, you would fucking hate
it.
It's so good.

squadcaster-3jfg_1_01-17-2 (24:53):
it's just like is it this big like
actual I I just any kind ofthing where it's people running
it I just don't think it's gonnabe perfect.
I think it's gonna be kind oflike inefficient I don't know
like look at the government.
I

lb_1_01-17-2025_203211 (25:08):
all kinds of people.

squadcaster-3jfg_1_01-17-2 (25:09):
Yeah

lb_1_01-17-2025_203211 (25:11):
murders a lot of people.
I watched something totallydifferent.
I watched a Netflix, uh, insidethe, the, A man on the inside
with Ted Danson, where he's likean old, um, retired professor
whose wife just died.
And somehow he gets like.
Recruited to be a mole at aretirement community by this

squadcaster-3jfg_1_01-17-2 (25:33):
yeah I've seen the ads for

lb_1_01-17-2025_203211 (25:34):
It was cute.
It was cute.
I was intrigued.
It was kind of heartwarming.
It was funny in parts.
I liked it.
I liked it.
It was a very quick watch.
I think it's like eightepisodes.
There are

squadcaster-3jfg_1_01-17-2025 (25:46):
I think they stole that concept
from psych.
There was an episode where

lb_1_01-17-2025_203211 (25:50):
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
We're the dad Yeah.

squadcaster-3jfg_1_01-17-2 (25:52):
into the old folks home to solve the

lb_1_01-17-2025_203211 (25:55):
And he was like, you know, the, the
Casanova.
Same thing with Ted Dansonbecomes Casanova.

squadcaster-3jfg_1_01-17- (26:00):
right because they're the ones who
aren't peeing their

lb_1_01-17-2025_203211 (26:03):
Exactly.

squadcaster-3jfg_1_01-17-20 (26:05):
and I think in psych He was actually
like 50 or 60 or like he

lb_1_01-17-2025_203211 (26:09):
He was trying to pretend like he was
way

squadcaster-3jfg_1_01-17- (26:11):
years older.

lb_1_01-17-2025_203211 (26:12):
Yeah

squadcaster-3jfg_1_01-17-20 (26:14):
I'm gonna go watch psych after this.

lb_1_01-17-2025_203211 (26:16):
I, I watched the whole series not too
long ago.
Like less than a year ago Iwatched it all.
But then this got me on a TedDanson kick.
So I started watching The GoodPlace again.

squadcaster-3jfg_1_01-17-20 (26:26):
Oh, have you watched mr.
Mayor?

lb_1_01-17-2025_203211 (26:28):
No, that is on my list, and I hear that
one's good, too.

squadcaster-3jfg_1_01-17-2025 (26:31):
I liked it.
It is very close.
I think Same writers as 30 Rock,I

lb_1_01-17-2025_203211 (26:35):
That's what I hear, yeah.

squadcaster-3jfg_1_01-17-202 (26:37):
so it is very similar pacing.
And I do like that one actresswho was also on Crazy Ex
Girlfriend.
So I like her.
Um, she's a kiss assistant.
Um, no, it's good.
It's disappointing.
I don't think it has more thantwo seasons.

lb_1_01-17-2025_203211 (26:51):
Yeah, story of our lives.

squadcaster-3jfg_1_01-17- (26:53):
Yeah, all the

lb_1_01-17-2025_203211 (26:54):
Always upsetting.
I have a hard time watching newshows, just period.
Like, I just want to go back tomy comfort shows.
Just turn off my brain.

squadcaster-3jfg_1_01-17-20 (27:04):
No, I know that feeling.
I'm like craving the excitementof a new show because I've been
Santa brought my son atrampoline like a little indoor
trampoline for Christmas And hewas very kind enough to bring an
adult version that my

lb_1_01-17-2025_203211 (27:18):

motivated to like get up andactually watch it.

All right.
Well, I think that's it forSociety

squadcaster-3jfg_1_01-17-2025 (27:53):
I think that's an important thing
to remember is just hit that guywith a shovel.

lb_1_01-17-2025_203211 (27:57):
if you have an opportunity to strike,
strike.
A good offense is the bestdefense.
