Ladies and gentlemen, welcome toanother another exciting episode
of Not about you podcast. You can see us on Spotify,
iHeartRadio, Apple podcast, wherever platform you prefer,
we're on it. So we're we're pretty much
everywhere these days. However, you're listening to us,

(00:29):
thank you for making this a partof your day slash night with me.
My name is Jamal Harrington and with me as always is our Co host
Mary Ann Riley. Hello there.
And her better half? Romeo Nash.
Yes, I'm here. Happy Thanksgiving everyone.
Happy Thanksgiving. Very very short work week.

(00:50):
I'm so glad tomorrow is my Friday.
I'm very happy. Yeah, this is and, and yeah,
Thanksgiving, man, how how aboutthat?
You know, Thanksgiving It's yeah.
I, I, I ask people what they're doing for Thanksgiving.
That's like my Co workers, you know, hey man, we do have

(01:11):
Thanksgiving plans and, and someof their answers are so funny.
They're like, well, my Thanksgiving plans is to go to
whoever is inviting me over for Thanksgiving 'cause I ain't
doing shit at my house, you know?
So that's a great, that's a great thing.
Today, but you know, it just depends on where you go and what
they're cooking is the big thingfor Thanksgiving for me.

(01:34):
I like see, I do I fry my Turkey.
I fry a Turkey. And if you have never had a
fried Turkey, I tell you, you ain't had, you ain't lived yet.
Fried Turkey is where it's at. I will never eat another baked
Turkey. I won't do it.
Some people have tried smoking turkeys.

(01:56):
I do not like smoked turkeys whatsoever.
And the reason being something shouldn't be smoked.
I mean, just because you can smoke it don't mean you should
smoke it. So let let let let me ask you
this. So like no smoked Turkey
sandwiches? No.
No. Well, here's what I'm going to

(02:17):
say about that. Here's the big thing that I have
to say. 1 Turkey's already pretty dry and when you smoke
it, it doesn't do it anything. It don't hold any moisture.
In the moisture, right? So, and it's different when it's
processed meat because that processed meat they, you know,
they're slamming it all together.

(02:39):
But here's what I'm going to say.
When you deep fry a Turkey, the best way to figure it out is
it's the difference between baked chicken and fried chicken,
right? And if that's not enough, here's
what I'm going to say. How long does it take to fry

(03:02):
your Turkey, honey? One hour.
One hour, I'm telling you, for the people who get up at 3:00 or
4:00 in the freaking morning to try and throw the Turkey in the
oven to start baking it. For six hours and four hours
and. 6-8 hours. Yeah.
Fuck that. I never want to have to because

(03:25):
it's so much easier. You know, you've got that
Turkey. It takes an hour for the oil to
heat up and and we have an actual I got a spoiled fryer, we
got a Turkey. Fryer not one of those, not one
of those things you see people in the backyard with and they
dropping them in there and. Making them in there.
Not one of those. I got a big Turkey fryer.
And it's designed it is for Turkey.

(03:46):
You could actually deep fry chick, a whole chicken or two or
three chickens at a time in it too.
But you can deep fry anything init.
It's a deep. Right, it's a deep fryer.
But it's big enough for a Turkey.
It's got A and it's actually gota Turkey basket that you set the
whole Turkey in and you dip the whole thing down into the oil

(04:06):
and then close the lid and you close the lid on it and it's got
a timer on it and everything. So yeah, once it's done, it'll
go, it'll flash and beep and youknow.
So. You lift it up.
And let it back. It'll notify you when your
Turkey is ready to. Yeah.
Yeah, yeah. The only thing that I'll say,

(04:26):
the only drawback, the only drawback to a deep fried Turkey,
you don't have the pan drippingsthat you can make homemade gravy
from. That's the only thing.
Yeah, don't have the pan droppings to make homemade
grape. Well, you can.
I mean, if depending on the way you do it and you can't do it
from the, you can't do it from the pan drippings, but you can

(04:48):
take the Turkey neck and gizzards and so forth and put
that in the skillet and then. Oh yeah, I guess you could do
that. Yeah, you could do that.
It'd be a lot more work. Right, right.
But you're not going to have any.
You're not going to have any drippings from the bird itself.
Yeah, the bird you. Won't.
Yeah. And, and I just say it's just so
much cheaper and easier just to go buy some Turkey gravy already

(05:10):
made and just heat it up becauseyou've already got so much work
going on anyways. I mean, there's certain things
like that. I, I don't mind mashed potatoes,
but when it comes to my Turkey dinner, my Thanksgiving dinner,
no, I am peeling potatoes. I'm chopping them, I'm boiling,
I'm mixing them up. It has to be from scratch on

(05:31):
them potatoes, 'cause I'm going,I make homemade stuffing, I make
the homemade, you know, the mashed potatoes.
I mean, we, we make things and so we cook because we typically
like we typically have anywhere from 20 to 3035 people come over
and that's including like usually what about anywhere from

(05:53):
5:00 to 12:00 kids, so. 12 kids and and then their friends.
Yeah, and our kids and their friends and their kids.
So. But it it it it's we We.
We're the house that when nobodyhas any other plans, they come
to us like they don't have anywhere else to go and or

(06:17):
they're going to be by themselves.
Like this year. We're trying to get our our one
of our bingo friends. A couple of.
Them well, a couple of them. One, I'm pretty sure she will.
She's did you know she's like 68.
Yeah. She just she's 68.
I thought she was like in her. I thought I.
Thought she was in the 50s. Yeah, and.
Then. The other one, he's newly single

(06:39):
separated. You hear that lady's?
He's newly single. Yeah, just in the last few
months and he's 83. That's right, 83 right and newly
single, he told. Her that he's 86.
Oh, that, that's even better. Yeah, he's 80.
Six. Wait, wait, hold on a second.
So 86 now. What happened to the wife?

(07:00):
Oh, they just broke up and she moved back in her daughter.
With her daughter. That's exactly the look I had on
my face too. Like.
I mean, it's, I'm never, I mean.I'm late, ladies.
At that point, what? You tough it out.
Yeah, like what the fuck? What are you doing different?
I I guess because they were verycompatible in public and they

(07:22):
would get along, they would hangout, they would do things, but
as soon as they got behind closed doors, all they did was
fight, fight, fight, fight well.I mean, duh, yes, that's what
old people do. You know what I'm saying?
That that's what it is. But it's.
Just like I mean. To, to, to.
Break up at that age, you would think like, you know, nature
would take care of that part, right?

(07:43):
You know, it's like, well, you would be like, I would break up
with you, but I'm just going to let God decide when that time
comes. And it's weird though, it's
because her brother, the wife's brother, because he also comes
and plays bingo his. Wife broke up with him last
broke up with. Him last year and he's.

(08:05):
Like 8. 5 84 Wow. OK, I'm sorry, this is, this is
fan, this is like. And they've been together like
50 years. Yeah, 5060 years of shit.
I'm like wow. No, no, at that point, at that
point, no. You, you, you keep going, man.
You hang in there. It's like you, I mean.

(08:25):
At that point it is until death do us part cause motherfucker,
you try and leave me you're going 6 foot under.
The The thing is, it's like I because I wonder, like what is
the stress like at A at 80 yearsold?
Like my girl of 50, some ideas is breaking up with me.
It's not like you're going to I mean, maybe you can get another

(08:47):
one. You know, old people still,
especially Florida, they, they go, you know, they, they knock
it out Florida. You know, they have a lot more
going on in Florida. There's a whole lot more of
them. But but again, for a man, if you
make it to that age and you're amale, oh, oh, you have your pick
of women if you're go to like anold folks home or you go to a

(09:11):
senior assisted living or a senior home.
Oh yeah. Oh my God, there's like, yeah,
there's like 5 to six women minimum per man.
And those women are not flippingout if you're if if you got a
share because there's so few menstill left alive at that age

(09:31):
that they are a Unicorn. 80. Year old and broke up with your.
Wife, man, that I don't know. That's just.
Not even like like like early 80s.
A part of me feels like if I'm with somebody for. 50 years and
they're like. Honey, we need to talk.
I'm thinking about breaking up with you.
I might have to just kill her. Like it's just like you ain't

(09:54):
leaving me unless. That's what's going to happen,
Yes. You know, fair here for you to
listen. Honey, if you try to leave me at
85, you are Garner straight out.Look, we got plans for 80.
Yeah, we got, we got plans for 85 we got.
Plans, you know, I mean, the fact that you even live that
long with somebody, that's firstof all, it's very rare.

(10:17):
Usually somebody, usually somebody's carrying on because,
you know, oh, my wife died at 75and I lived to be 82 and I'm
just waiting to meet her and allthat.
But it's just like, Nah, man, you break up with me at that age
and God forbid if I, you know, God willing, I live that long.
But you know, even if you break up with me at 65, we might have

(10:40):
a problem. But 80?
Five. Oh yeah, 85.
You know, I hope I I hope the trigger finger does not catch
arthritis because that's the only way you're going out.
I'm going to be like, you stay, you stay here.
I'm going to go get the lock boxand the key because if you
really want to go, yeah, I'll send you you'll.

(11:03):
Do some assisted. So, so me and Mary Ann, me and
Mary Ann, we're in there like I told her when we met, got
married six years ago. We got together.
No, it's past our our anniversary.
OK, so well, we got married. We got married.
Four years. Four years ago we we got
married. Three years depending three

(11:24):
years. We got married four years ago
and three years ago. So when we got married twice,
twice we got married twice. But I told her this is the end
game, and I do mean that. Meaning when we go, that's the
end. Now if you try to leave me,
that's the end. I will.
End. You Oh yeah, that's right.

(11:45):
That is right. I mean it.
I'm. I'm glad you guys have like a a
plan for each other's when you guys split.
And alive in each other. Oh, that's right.
We're not go. She going.
That's that's yeah, I'm like, you know what, Lip?
Fuck that. You know what?
Don't argue with me, lady. I I take I take this car off

(12:06):
this bridge right here. Just don't do that.
We got we got bingo tomorrow. We can't be having these type of
arguments. 85 year old Brigham. I, I've met that, that right
there that I've just never fathomed that because you know,
you every time I see a couple, you know, I mean, I, even when I
used to work, you know, delivering caskets or whatever.
I mean, I've seen couples like attend funerals and they're like

(12:30):
coming, they're in wheelchairs attending funerals and they're
together. And it's like, and it to me,
that's a beautiful thing becauseit's like, oh, that's got to be
their best friend because they've probably been together
for some 60, you know, years or so.
And it's just like, you think you you would know everything
about that person where it's like, yes, the grass has always

(12:52):
been on the other side, but it'slike, you know what, I've been
with this person that long that I mean, at 80, it's almost like,
OK, I got to you got to break ina new person and you got to hope
that, you know, it's like now I got to hope that the expiration
date on this relationship they're.

(13:13):
Just not. And here's what's, here's what
gets me though, is that the women move in with their adult
children, like an adult daughteror something like that.
And I have to I have to really question how much of that
separation was the the child in really pushing to have them

(13:33):
separate? Because I remember like my
grandparents, my aunt trying to tell my grandma to leave my
grandpa. And she was like, why would I
leave him at this point? We've been together forever.
I'm not leaving. And and so then I look at the

(13:55):
financial hardship too, of the two men, like the one who's 85,
still has a job, still working. Yeah, still working.
The other one tell me that he doesn't come to bingo as much as
he used to because now his finances got cut in half.
Because his wife is gone. Because his wife moved in with

(14:16):
their daughter so he has to pay off his bills and she doesn't
have any bills to pay so. I was him, I would get back at
her and just date a 45 year old chick.
He's been trying. He's been hitting on my wife.
I keep telling him, listen here,listen here, you home, wrecker,
I said. You need to stop it.

(14:37):
I'd be like 50 years and over. Come play with me.
See, but I've seen this happen before and I'm going to say
this. It's so sad, so, so
heartbreaking what I've seen. They're.
Kind of and it happened with howdo I want to say this without

(14:58):
without without starting a fight, but she ain't whenever
this fucker. So my ex-wife.
Oh yeah. Her mom left her husband on
their 35th anniversary, so they was married for 35 years.

(15:18):
OK. And then and she left him
because she said that he was he was getting old and she didn't
want to be with an old man who didn't have no money.
She left him and she got with anolder man with money who

(15:44):
wouldn't give her a fucking nickel.
Is is she still with him? He he passed.
He passed last year. Was she in the will?
I'm quite sure, but I don't think she has that much.
I don't think he had that much money.
I don't, I don't know. I don't know anything.
All I do know is that she wantedto be with this man because he

(16:05):
had money. And so she left her husband of
35 years to be with another man for his money who was older.
Not even that much older. Yeah, but he was a little bit
older. He was, but he was her.
Her husband in 35 years was a blue collar.
Worker, right, Right. So yeah.

(16:25):
I mean, it's just like, that's astrange gift to give somebody on
their anniversary. Oh, I know righty.
That's what I. Said I was.
Fucking kidding me. I was.
I was blown away. I was like.
That is. And I asked, so when we asked
her why did you why did you leave him?
And she was like, I don't want to be with some broke old man.

(16:46):
And I was like, bitch, you old. And you asked, I said.
You broke. She never worked a day in her
life though, did she? I don't know.
I I didn't know. No, I don't think she had.
I don't think she had. No, Not, no, no.
That is, yeah, that is kind of, I mean, first of all, you dated

(17:12):
the man knowing he didn't have any money.
So that's kind of on you whetherhe had it or not.
That well, he had money, he had money.
The man was and he was and what was the trip was like?
He was, he was my ex. So anyways, he was a ex
professional boxing trainer. OK, He trained Lennox Lewis and

(17:36):
I'm not bullshitting you. He trained a lot of boxers.
He was a professional boxer of, of professional boxing coach.
So when he took us to Vegas and he was like, yeah, I know Miles
Lane, yadda, yadda, yadda, right?
So I'm like Miles Lane. The, the, you know, you watch
Miles Lane, he's a referee all the time in Mike Tyson's.

(18:00):
Fights. Wait, you mean Mills Lane?
Mills Lane Yeah, right. And he's also a judge.
Right, so we. Oh yeah, I know.
He's like a short, bald headed guy.
So we get to Vegas, right? And we go to we go to visit this
dude and him and my father-in-law, my ex

(18:20):
father-in-law, they jumped it uphere.
Hey Mike, how you doing? They start to, he was talking.
I'm like, whoa, you really know this thing?
He goes, yeah, you know, 'cause I I know that he was yeah, I've
heard stories that he was a professional boxing coach.
And I was like, Nah, I didn't really believe it.
I'm like, Muriel, dad was a freaking boxing coach.

(18:41):
And he's like, yeah. And he used to talk, he used to
talk bad about Lennox Lewis because I was like, I was like,
so you trained Lennox Lewis, yougo, yeah, he's a big crap baby.
You know, he's a big baby. And and I was like, because,
because when he was training them, you know, as a coach, you
say he whining about this, he whining about that because you
coaching them, you know, but that's what he used to always

(19:03):
say. You say big Lennox Lewis is a
big crap baby. And you know, he needs to, you
know, he get ahold. He's a good fighter.
You know, he's just, you know, he whines a little bit.
You know, I was like, oh, OK, yeah, I didn't.
And then he was going to try to teach me how to box and Nope,
I'm good dad, because his his fists are like, granted, I was
like, Nah, dude, you ain't hit me with that.
Nope, he had knuckles. Like granted, I said dude, your

(19:27):
knuckles are too hard, like steel, you know?
But that's what he did. And when she left him, because
he was a professional contractorright for building houses and
shit, that's what he did. And that's.
A hydraulical job. Yeah, he was doing that shit

(19:48):
forever. Yeah, yeah, that shit forever.
You know, I even went up, I evenwent up there and worked for
him. I worked for him for I worked
for him for about 9-9 months andI'm like, Nope, I'm out of We
got a job and we started workingwith he had a he had a partner

(20:08):
and him and his him and his partner had a fallen out.
And so my father-in-law said fuck this.
I'm done. He goes, I'm out and he goes.
You can do it. And so I was like, fuck it,
didn't I quit too? He goes, Nope.
He goes, you go ahead and have akid.
You stay your ass here and you finish working.
He goes, you continue to work, he goes, I'll get another.

(20:30):
He goes, I can find more work. I'm not worried.
He goes, you just continue that job.
And so I finished working with the guy because the guy was real
cool. They were real cool when they
was just there was just there was buddies and they were
partners all the time. They had a fight.
They had a fight on this one jobthat they were doing.
They had a fight on this one jobsite, so I stayed there while my

(20:52):
dad went and did another startedup another job that I couldn't
even have nothing to do with anyway.
So I just stayed there. But it was cool.
Like I said, he had he had they were together for like 35 years
or something like that. And then she left money fucking
like 30th or 40th anniversary orsome shit.
I'm like, and I was just like, what the fuck?
I was like, why would you leave him after all that all that

(21:12):
time? Like just like he he turned into
an old man and I don't want to he going to be broke and I'm
like, whoa. You're an old lady.
That's what I said. I'm like bitch you old hand
broke the fuck you got the braintill I.
Tell you, yeah, but you know, ifher daughter is anything like
her mother, bat shit fucking crazy, bat shit crazy that's.

(21:35):
A very strange way to break up with somebody, though.
I mean, I'm sure it happens all the time.
I mean, people get broken up on their birthdays.
I got, I think one of my strangest breakups I've ever had
was when I was sick and living in Seattle.
I was seeing somebody and I, shebroke up with me like almost as

(21:56):
soon as I woke up. You know, I'm not even gonna
like the fact that she was even there was like, oh, you came all
the way. I thought, you know, oh, you're
here to see me, make sure that I'm OK.
And we had that talk like, hey, this was like, she was nervous

(22:18):
and scared. And then all of a sudden it
turned into she thought I was going to die.
So she thought that this was going to be easy, you know?
But then she was like. Yeah.
Yeah, she, she didn't think I was going to go.
I mean, I was sick, you know? But she was like, yes, I, I

(22:41):
mean, not for nothing, I'm kind of glad she didn't wait like
weeks after I was fully recovered before breaking up
with me because then that would have probably sucked.
But she just, I woke up and like15 minutes later she literally
ripped, she ripped the Band-Aid off.
And I was like, you know, I justhad a procedure done right?

(23:02):
Like, you know, but she was, shethought that this was going to
be like an ongoing thing, me going to the hospital, bunch
this, that, whatever. And she couldn't take it.
So she thought she broke up withme because of my health, because
she thought I had like this was going to become a huge health

(23:22):
issue and she would have to takecare of me, which was like, that
is not the case. I mean, Fast forward what, 12
years and or so and I am, you know, for the most part fine,
you know, but she thought that was the tip of the iceberg and
she broke up with me within inside of 1/2 an hour after I

(23:46):
woke up. Jesus, wow.
Wow. So.
Like OK, so you guys were you living together or?
Oh, we were just dating. We're it was like a casual.
Date she smashed the band date off feeling that did.
She Did she spend the night withyou or did she?
She has before. Well, I've spent the night at
her place. No.

(24:06):
Did she spend the night so you woke up?
Did she come over to see you first?
Day she came, yeah, it was she was there from what I was told,
she was there for like 45 minutes because I was still at
the hospital. So she was there for 45 minutes
that she the. Hospital to break up your.
Oh yeah, yeah, this was at the hospital, like I said.
Oh, that's. Literally woke up at the

(24:28):
hospital. Out of your surgery.
Into the hospital. Yeah, you came out of
anesthesia. And I woke up and she was, and
she was there and wow, yeah. OK, I have to ask.
I have to ask what was the procedure for?
I'd rather not. Well, I guess, I guess you.

(24:48):
Have to. You don't have to, but you know,
yeah. It was a cancer related
procedure. Was it OK?
Yeah, so she wanted the healing to, she wanted the healing to
start right away. Just, you know, let's heal up
from that. And it's and it's fucking
breakup so. Yeah.
So, yeah, it was, it was pretty,it was pretty fucked up.

(25:11):
So I I I just ended up just kindof like scan.
That though, I guess. I'm laying back down.
I could. I kind of understand that
because when you're young like that, was she younger than you?
Yeah. She was younger than me.
Yeah. She was younger than me by about
four years, but that's not much.It's still.
Pretty scary. It's still pretty scary to think

(25:32):
that. So you were like in your 30s at
the time. Yeah.
So that's still pretty scary to think about being tied to
somebody. That.
You have to take care of for therest of their life.
And even though that wasn't the case, I mean, you know, what
better to find out now like thenwhen you didn't need that
person, you know, 'cause right now this is my ride or die.

(25:53):
I mean, like, I need to know that life is messy.
Life is fucking messy, at least in my life.
You know what it it Life is not messy.
People are messy. But I'm talking about.
Life is life is. I mean, things do happen, but
they're. Messy.
And they, they, they can get complicated and they can get

(26:16):
ugly and they can get dark and overwhelming.
And if you've got somebody who'stoo weak to be able to excuse me
to help weather the storm with you, then shove off, man.
Yeah, I, I feel that like life is short and people are messy.
So it's just like, because The thing is, I can control who is

(26:40):
in and out of my life, you know what I'm saying?
I can't control them, unfortunately.
But I could also control, I could say, oh, well, I could
filter people out of my life to a point where it's like, I don't
have to deal with that. Now with her, you know, it was,
first of all, I didn't even see that coming.

(27:00):
And on top of that, I never really talked about a lot of
what I was going through becauseI was kind of like, in my own
world anyway. So I didn't like, share like,
oh, by the way, I went to the doctor and, you know, I never
asked her to, like, drive me to the doctor or whatever.
I mean, my best friend came in later on that day, actually, and

(27:25):
he was there. And it was like, OK, great,
you're here for the weekend. You know, we're going to Uber
back to my house and you're going to drive me around in my
own car all weekend because I can't.
And we have such a great time. And it was just, you know, and I
didn't even tell him like, hey, man, my girl broke up with me.
Can you believe that? I was more, you know, I was very

(27:51):
excited and happy that he came out and he wanted to hang out
with his, you know, his buddy, you know, in his time of need
And that that's something that I'm always going to that's
always going to be that, you know, that's I'm going to hold
that. I always hold it near and there

(28:11):
because he didn't have to do that.
I've had friends ask me like, Hey, do you need me to come?
Like I'll, you know, I'll get a babysitter and I'll come and
I'll, I'll do whatever you need to do.
And it's like, no, don't do that'cause you know, I, like I said,
I didn't tell this girl like, hey, can you drive me to my
appointment? Can you do this?
Can you go pick up? She never had to do that.
I was doing that on my own. You know what I'm saying?

(28:32):
Because when it, when it comes to, you know, I, I don't, I keep
it private 'cause I don't want there to be any woe with me type
that. I don't, I don't, I don't want
that kind of, I don't want that kind of, what do they call it?
Attention. You know, I don't, I didn't
want, I didn't want that attention.
So I kind of kept it to myself, even though I told one person

(28:55):
and then it spread like wildfire, which I'm like note to
self, we don't trust that personagain.
But nonetheless, yeah, it was just one of those things where
it was like I was still doing the and maybe it's because maybe
it's old man pride, you know, but I was still doing what I
needed to do. Sometimes you'll call me and
hey, what are you doing? Oh, I'm at the doctor's office

(29:16):
waiting. You know, maybe that's what she
got tired of. Like every time I called you you
at the doctor's office, like, yeah, I'm making sure my fucking
health status is good so we could see another 10 years
together, you know what I'm saying?
Or a 10 years together. But yeah, when she broke up with
me, it kind of sucked. But what I took from that was

(29:37):
you're an awful person. And God forbid the next person
that you're with don't get sick.Yeah, you know what I'm saying?
Like shit, you might as well date a doctor for, you know, or
maybe a doctor. Somebody who's young, it's very
like scary to be with somebody who maybe their health isn't the

(30:02):
best. And that would be a hard person.
I would I would have like and I,I told Romeo this that when
there was early on in our relationship that I almost broke
up with him. It was.
Yeah, I told you that. No, you didn't watch it.
What? What that?
Time I had to take you to the hospital what I had to take him
to the hospital and his his he'sdiabetic and his his diet his

(30:29):
blood sugar when like you know high blood sugar makes.
You feel. Really sick right?
Well, when he you know and if you check your blood and you,
what do you consider a high blood?
Anything over 100. OK, so he checked his blood.

(30:50):
Yeah, more than that or like waymore than that.
But if it's over 100, for the most part, that's kind of
that's, you know, around normal.But anything higher than that
can be very, very detrimental. Yeah, I and I think at one point
before that I'd seen his blood was at like 301 time.

(31:13):
Hold on. This time I told him check your
blood and the blood meter said hi.
It didn't even give a number. It just said hi HIG.
A. When we get.
Into the hospital. When we got into the hospital,
they took his blood. His blood sugar was 800 and. 860

(31:38):
something. 860 I. Never heard it that high.
That's dangerously high. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
So I had to stay in the hospitaluntil my blood dangerously high.
Yes. Yeah.
Yes. I was giving.
It was terrifying. I was going to, I was, I was
going into a diabetic coma is what it was.

(31:59):
Yeah. So my blood sugars was up like
like 860 something and they mademe stay in the hospital until my
blood sugars. Yeah, we because they they said
I couldn't leave until my blood sugars was down to about 200.
Did they give you insulin? Yeah, Oh.

(32:19):
Yeah, Oh yeah, They gave me everything.
Yeah, OK, I remember. They gave me because it.
Was it was terrifying. But when my blood sugars get
that high, I had to pee every 5 minutes.
Every three, yes. Exactly.
I thought I just kept you. You have the urge to pee.
Sometimes you'll have the urge to pee and you can't pee.

(32:42):
Oh I know. I was peeing like a mug every
time. Every time I sat down I had to
get back up and go pee again. I.
Peed, I peed every every 5 minutes for about 3 hours and
then finally they was like you got to get your blood sugar down
below 300. You got to get down below 300,

(33:04):
get it down below 300. And then once it got down to
like 260, then it got down to 220 and I got out here, it's
like 193 when I when I left the hospital.
When I do my colonoscopies, theycheck my blood sugar.
And yeah, they check your blood sugar.
And I remember the last time I took a colonoscopy last year in

(33:27):
March, they checked, they took my blood sugar and it was at
267. And they were like, let's wait
before we do the colonoscopy. But they also opted, they said,
or we can give you a shot of insulin.

(33:49):
Right. Come back in 1/2 hour, see where
you're at. So they gave me the, I was like,
yeah, give me the insulin. I've never, I've never taken
insulin before. But you know, so I'm like,
that's weird because usually, you know, I'm a diabetic too
type. I'm a type 2 diabetic and I try

(34:11):
to keep my, you know, But when they told me that it was at 267,
I was like, OK, what did I oh, so strangely enough, I was like,
well, I didn't eat anything and I stopped that.
And I, well, I did eat stuff, but I stopped exercising.
It turns out the solution I was drinking contained sugar, which

(34:37):
was like weird because it tasteslike shit.
There was nothing sweet about it.
And I didn't and I and I didn't mix it with anything.
So it was like it, it contained sugar.
So it that raised my blood sugar.
Yeah, I don't know. So sometimes you know which.
Which is counterproductive. I'm like, really?

(34:58):
This thing tastes like shit. And so they asked me, you know,
what kind of solution did you use?
And I remember, you know, I remember the name of it.
I told them what it was. They walked away, came back.
I guess they checked like the nutritional value, which I
didn't even know there was any. And it turned out that it
contained sugar. So I was like, so when they came

(35:22):
back and they told me that they're like, OK, So what we're
going to do is we are going to give you a shot of insulin.
We'll come back in 1/2 an hour. We'll check your blood again.
So they came back, my blood sugar went from 240 something
down to like, you know, two O 5 or something because they wanted

(35:45):
to make sure that, you know, they say your blood sugar spikes
when they do your when the when they do the colonoscopy.
And up to this day, I never understood why I'm like, there's
nothing in my system. What are you putting in me
that's going to make my blood sugar spike?
But you know, nonetheless, yeah,you got it.

(36:07):
I even, I got to be careful sometimes I'll have like this
urge to get, you know, a sugary snack.
So I keep club sodas at my yeah,see, I got that at my job too.
But for me though, I, I, I, anytime I get snacks, like if I

(36:27):
go to Dunkin' Donuts and get like a dozen Donuts, I, of
course I'm not going to eat a dozen Donuts by myself because
that's just dumb. I share it with all my Co
workers. I share all my snacks with my Co
workers. I have a snack drawer where if I
take out something I share with my Co workers because that way
I'm like, hey, I could only havethis many.

(36:50):
So if I share with you guys, youguys are kind of helping me, you
know what I'm saying? So.
So that's, that's something, OK.Speaking of snacks, Marianne
just went out and grabbed her. I'm I'm making chex mix for
Thanksgiving. OK homemade check mix.

(37:10):
Have have you ever had homemade chex mix?
No, not not homemade chex mix I'd see.
That like I said, and now OK, meand her have been having this
discussion and I mean, I love, Ilove my wife.
I do. Hold on.
OK. You know what's in homemade, You
know what's in the Chex mix. I mean, I've had Chex mix, you

(37:32):
know? OK.
The cereal Chex. Mix.
Robot. In the bag Romeo, Have you ever
had four bots in the bag? Chex Mix.
I bought yeah, that's. You sound so unsure if you've
got checks. Well, The thing is, like I, I
told her and you know, I'm not trying to make this a racial
thing, but that's some white people shit there.

(37:53):
I I don't do. Checks mix and that's what he
told me and I said. She's making checks mix at home
and I like what the you know, it's I, you know, not I don't, I
don't know no black people that make fucking checks mix.
OK. Yeah.
I mean, I don't know black people that make checks mix

(38:13):
either, but I've been to enough house parties where I'll see
checks mix there. I don't know if it's made by
somebody. Or no, I'm not.
I'm not. So I cannot deny the fact that
I've had checks mix. I didn't buy the shit.
I didn't make the shit. I showed up and it was already

(38:35):
out. And like I said, it was usually
a white person's house that I was at when I had Chex Mix.
So Mary Ann, you when you're making this Chex mix, so from
scratch, did you like go get theingredients and and you're
making and you're just making this?

(38:55):
Yes. OK, so it's like and this.
Is it's. It's a snacking, you know, Of
course it's a snacking. So it's like, I don't see the
issue because I don't hate Chex Mix.
I don't go out of my way to buy it.
It's better. When it's homemade.
Is it, But if I see it there, I'm going to eat it because I

(39:15):
like, I, I'm a snacker anyway, you know, I, I've been to too
many and, and mind you, white people's parties, you know, or I
shouldn't say white people's parties, white people who hosts
or white people who are nice enough to let a colored fellow
such as myself enter their house.
Sometimes when I go to a white person's house, I'm like a

(39:37):
vampire. I'm like, do I have permission
to enter the premises? Fucking moon cricket.
You know, because, well, very funny.
Romeo. Again, to my heart.
To my heart, but you know, vampires are not allowed to
enter the house unless they're invited in so anytime I get

(40:00):
invited anytime I get an invitation to all my persons
house, I'm like, do I have permission to enter the premise
I asked that because, you know, I want to make sure that I got
this on purpose. You know what I'm saying?
And if you say yes that pretty much answers all the questions
that you know OK you're you're you're glad I'm here.
This was done on purpose. It doesn't need to be weird.

(40:23):
So yeah, I I do that all the time.
You know what I'm saying? If you are lighter than egg
white, I ask that question all the time.
I If you're lighter than egg shells, I ask that question all
the time. Can I?
May I come in? Do I have permission to enter
your domicile? Why, yes, you do, Mr.
Harrington. Why?
Thank you. Can't ask me that shit.

(40:45):
I've seen too many vampire movies.
Nope. Hell no you ain't allowed in.
I'm a scared I I don't do the vampire movies.
I just watched the previews for was Vampire.
Movies. Well.
Some of them. What was that movie?
Sinners? That was the last.
That was the last one we watched.
The last one we watched was Sinners.
I feel like I'm the only person on the planet that has not seen

(41:07):
that movie. And I have HBO Max, but I just,
it's OK. I, I've never, I've never had
the time to just like sit down and watch it.
I'm sure I will one day. But but yeah, you know, Chex
Mix, Marianne, first of all, you're doing the Lord's work.
First of all, the fact that you're making your own snacks,
That that, that right there should.

(41:30):
There's something to be said about that, you know what I'm
saying? Like you could have, again, you
could have easily went back, went to the, you know, Fred
Meyer's, grabbed a couple of boxes of Chex Mix, put it in a
bowl and call it good. But you're like, you know what?
I'm going to put my elbow in this, you know, and.
It tastes better and you can really control how you're making
it and. I don't know.

(41:50):
This is the second time I might have made it, and I'm thinking
that next time I'm going to throw in some you're.
Not going to put raisins in it, right?
Like, you know you're not going to do that, right?
You're not going to put raisins.I'm not that white.
You know, I got not going to putthat bag full of nuts out there.
You can throw some of those in there.
You, you're not going to put raisins in your stuffing, are
you? Like you're not going to.

(42:10):
Hell no, she better not. Not even as a joke.
Not even as a joke. You better not ever throw no
Raisin left stuff and it'll be afight.
But I am going to put in my stuffing this year is some sage.
Sausage. Sausage.

(42:31):
OK, yeah, I've had stuffing was I've had that before.
Yeah. So Speaking of movies, let's get
to that category that you brought up a little earlier.
Oh my God. I I want you to bring this out.
We are. So.
You teased us with it earlier. Yes, yes, I'm very excited about

(42:53):
this. So I ran into this article and
it was talking about and I wish I would have written down the
title, but it's like it's men's favorite movies red flags.
Now let me explain basically what this is basically I, I ran
into this article and I, I wish I could, I forgot who wrote.

(43:13):
I didn't even write down the theperson I wrote it.
But these are movies that if you're if a man or your husband,
boyfriend, what have you, if these are his favorite movies,
these are red flags you should look for basically.
And as I'm looking through this list, I have seen all of these

(43:36):
movies. Are any of?
Our favorite. Let me see.
I know one of these on my top. None of them are really in my
top five, but 1-2 three of them are in my top ten.
One of them has just recently kind of went up to my should be

(43:58):
on my one of my favorite movies because it wasn't before and I
own this movie, but after watching it for like a fifth
time, I'm like, what the fuck? This movie is not in my top five
and it's so I had moved it up but let me see 123455 of them

(44:21):
are in my there's 12 movies. Five of them, I would say, are
easily in my top 20. Well, OK.
So we're going to run this down.We'll we will spare you no
suspense. OK, so men's favorite movies,
Red Flags. So #1 Wolf of Wall Street.

(44:45):
If your significant other male, that is, if your boyfriend or
husband likes this movie, it's you know, if you've seen this
movie, Belfort, who's the main character in this movie, it
should be a cautionary tale. And and but dudes who like this

(45:06):
movie think he's a hero, but it's a cautionary tale rather
than him being a hero. And for anybody who likes this
movie, they are they either havean ego issue, they're impulsive,
or they have a thing for chaos and all of that is in that
movie. So you guys kind of see where

(45:29):
I'm going with this with the first one right here.
You guys have seen Wall Street, right?
I have not seen it. I have it's first of all, it's a
good movie. Yeah, it was.
I mean, it's, it's three hours long.
It's Martin Scorsese just crushing it.
Per usual. It's a good movie.

(45:52):
I'm sorry. True story though.
Yes, it is. Oh, yes, it is.
I've I've actually googled this guy and he's a person.
Yeah, he and he is the, the, I mean, a lot of the things in the
movie are things that has been done.
And it's like, holy shit, is this for real?

(46:12):
And so, yeah, so that, that's definitely one of them #2 And
this is the movie that is near and dear to me that I bumped up
on my on my list after watching it five times.
Fight Club, OK Fight Club I feelis so underrated.
And every time I talk to people about Fight Club, they're just

(46:33):
like, I didn't get Fight Club. OK, OK.
You you didn't get a Fight Club.How many times did you watch
Fight Club? Once.
I watched this movie five times and I I love this movie.
No, I watched it three times, Yeah.
You know, I mean, if you watch it once and you watch it again,

(46:53):
you. Can.
You you pick up stuff that even when I watched it for the fifth
time, I was picking up stuff that I missed the 4th and 3rd
and second time that I walked, Iwas like, oh wow, I didn't even
realize this. The red flags on this one is
glamorizing rebellion, lack of accountability for for the anti

(47:17):
heroes of Brad Pitt Splash, Edward Norton.
It's a great film. I I I think it's great.
This movie here the next one number three makes a lot more
sense and I and I'm not surprised that it's on here.
Joker. Yeah.
So miss the men who like the character feels that Joker is a

(47:41):
misguided genius yet emotionallyunstable.
And of course, if you've seen that movie, Joaquin Phoenix
definitely presented that resentment towards society as
well. So if you have somebody whose
favorite movie might be this, these are the red flags that you
should see, or the red flags that might top up because of

(48:02):
that #4 surprise me. This movie is, I'm not surprised
this movie is not on. Is I am not surprised this movie
is on here, American Psycho, which is probably my least
favorite movie among these. I'm not, I wasn't a huge fan of
it, but I liked Christian Bale'sacting in it.

(48:26):
Of course, the red flag would bevanity and insecurity,
especially with the card scene where they're like showing each
other, showing off their card, their business cards.
And yeah, that that that was like the part that's struck me.
Let's see 1234 number 5 red flags for men's favorite movies,

(48:47):
Scarface and I mean reckless ambition, The world is mine type
attitude. Of course, this is one of my
favorite movies and this is one of my major red flags.
The reckless ambition, reckless and ambitious.
That is definitely me for sure. Number six, The Godfather,

(49:10):
specifically Michael Corleone's Al Pacino's character who is
distant, calculating and hyper rational.
I don't think, I don't know why hyper rational would be a red
flag, but I guess if you're adding the calculation distant
and also ambitious, I guess thatwould be a thing as well.

(49:32):
Next movie, Pulp Fiction. I did not understand that at
first because there's so many characters in Pulp Fiction.
Who are we talking about? And the character that they
zeroed in on in this case was Vincent Vega, played by John
Travolta. And the red flag in this one,
which again, I've watched this movie a bunch of times, avoids

(49:57):
serious conversation. So I guess the whole trip to,
you know, France in the car withwas not a serious enough
conversation. But when they're talking about
rubbing another man, another man's girl's feet and he's like,
there's nothing wrong with that.And Samuel Jackson had to check

(50:20):
him on that. Like, hey, man, you don't rub
another man's wife's feet. You know what I'm saying?
Like, you know, so I I can kind of see where that came in.
I didn't understand at first, but then as I'm going through
the dialogue in a lot of the his, especially John Bolton's
character, I'm like, OK, I guessI could see that the next movie

(50:43):
drive. And yeah, I mean, of course,
Ryan Gosling's character very. I mean, first of all, like
difficulty, difficulty assessing, feeling or
apologizing. You know, I, I thought he was

(51:05):
very stoic and just just a stoiccharacter, but at the same time
protected those who he cared about when he could.
The next one, this one makes sense.
The Social Network Jesse Eisenberg plays Mark Zuckerberg

(51:28):
in this movie. The owner the the the Facebook
guy. Yeah.
Cut throat, ambition, emotional detachment, manipulation.
And that's just Zuckerberg's redflags right there alone.
Oh, yeah, Yeah. So there's that.
This next movie. I will say this, I will.

(51:50):
Before I I, I'll preface this. I saw this movie once.
It was more than enough and I still bought the DVD and I don't
even know if I could ever watch it's.
I watched this movie probably 15years ago and I can't and I
can't even bring bring myself towatch this movie again.

(52:12):
Requiem for a dream What was? Requiem for a Dream.
What was it about it that? It's it's a story.
Let's see Ellen Bernstein's in it.
Jared Leto Great performance by Marlon Wayans and Jennifer
Connelly. They play junkies basically, and

(52:34):
it's a very trippy movie. I I can't even like, I saw it
once and I was just like, yeah, I'm good.
Like I can't bring myself again to watch it.
It's, it's, it's a, it's a really good movie, don't get me
wrong, But there's a lot of things in that movie that it's

(52:56):
like, you know, it's like these these heroin addicts are just
pushing the limit and you know, the chances that they go through
and what have you. But Mark, Mark Marlon Wayans,
that was like the start of his life serious role.
And in my opinion, he's probablyone of those guys.

(53:17):
I could still do roles like thisif you if he would allow himself
to really. I mean, I think he could, he
could win an Academy Award if hewanted to, but he was really
good in Requiem for a Dream. You know, again, I own this
movie and I kind of want to watch it again, but it's just
like I got to be in the right headspace too.

(53:39):
And, you know, it's, it's very, the movie to me is very
emotionally draining. The red flags for this one is
unhealthy coping patterns for stress.
And yeah, I mean, if a woman told me that her favorite movie
was working for a dream, I wouldthrow myself out a window.

(54:02):
Like I, I probably would be like, you know.
Redefine our relationship. You know what?
I'm. Saying like not and and so next
movie two more. Next one here is A Clockwork
Orange and I'm pretty sure you guys have heard of this movie.
Yeah, I've heard. That probably seen of it seen it

(54:24):
reflects immaturity lack of awareness and boundaries and
that's the red flags that definitely covers anybody who
says that clock of gorge is my favorite movie yeah it's a good
movie but boy it's it's a hard watch in some scenes last but
not least and I laughed when I saw this I have seen this movie

(54:46):
too but I I went on a date to see this movie The notebook.
Yeah, I laughed so hard I was like, let me guess, The red flag
is your husband is gay, right? Is that what that is?
No, it's dudes whose favorite movie is this romanticized

(55:07):
struggling love or they are experts at grand sacrifices.
Not for nothing, if. Let's see, if a woman came up to
me and told me Fight Club or Scarface or Pulp Fiction were
her favorite movies. Yeah, she could definitely get
it. Even The Wolf of Wall Street if

(55:28):
she's. Why do you like these movies?
Oh, it kind of reminds me of. But yeah.
So these were the movies that were that are red flags if you
are dating somebody or in a relationship with somebody.
The gentleman Whose favorite movies are these thoughts?

(55:50):
Thoughts. I know you like Scarface, Romeo.
Like you? Yes, fermented.
I like Scarface, but I'm thinking about the notebook on
that last one. Like, really?
Yeah, that's a real like perf ball at the end.
It is for. I've never met the dude who said
that that was his favorite movieever.

(56:13):
Like. Ever.
Like, really? I've seen it.
It's not a terrible movie, but it's like, I'm like, alright,
you know, it's, it's a good story.
I, I didn't, I, I did not. I don't think it's over hyped or
under hyped. I think it's just, you know,
it's a good movie, but it's not like I never, I never, I never

(56:35):
looked at it like that, you know, I'm just like, wow, this
chick just, you know. And as you was naming some of
the the movies, I was going intomy mind.
Some of these movies you can watch.
And do you know how you see you?You can watch a movie and watch
it one time and be done, never have to watch it again.

(56:59):
Yeah, like like one off the top of my head, it was was the movie
with Jesus Christ getting the snuff film.
Oh, the passion. Oh God, passion.
OK, yeah, I I saw that early this year, actually, because I
had time to kill, not going to lie.

(57:21):
I see what Mel Gibson was tryingto do in this film.
I was like, I could I could go without seeing that movie ever
again. See, that's my point.
That's my point. I've seen it once and I can go
without seeing it ever again. But also, though, my not that I
had an issue with that movie. When I watched this movie, I'm

(57:41):
like, it really questioned my faith in certain things,
religiously speaking. You know, I, I lament, I don't
go, I don't, I haven't been to church and God knows how long.
I mean, such as I haven't been to Sunday service and God knows
how long. I don't like organized religion.
I question a lot of things, But after watching this movie, I was

(58:04):
like, how much of A Christian was I?
Or I mean, I don't, I think I'm less of a Christian now than I
was 30 years ago than I was 20 years ago when my, I mean 30
years when my mom was taking me to church.
It's like, Oh, yay. And now I'm just like, I feel
like passion of the Christ is a movie that kind of didn't need

(58:25):
to be made the way that it was. If you're going to do a a movie
about Jesus, I don't care if you're doing a movie about his
miracles or whatever, but you'redoing like the last, like, hey,
after the Last Supper type shit,this is what's going on.
And I remember, I don't know if you guys remember the joke, but

(58:46):
but George Carlin has like a bitabout it while he's he was like,
you want to know why? You know, he was like, you know
what I would have done if I was Jesus, I would have beaten the
shit out of, you know, Judas. I would have been like, you
motherfucking snitch, you motherfucking give me that $30.
You know what I'm saying? You know, I could turn you into

(59:08):
a fucking monkey. You know what I'm doing?
Give me that $30. I'm going to buy beer for the
other, for the other apostle. Like that, that bit was going on
in my head while I'm watching Passion of the Christ because
it's. It.
Is again, I, I've watched it. I could say that I've watched
it, but you know, that's not a movie that whenever we talk

(59:32):
about movie, I mean, I talk about movies with, you know,
like a lot of comics, whatever. A lot of a lot of my friends,
you know, we talk about movies alot and no one ever brings up
like Passion of the Christ. Or if they do, it's like in
reference to something else. No one's like, Oh yeah, Passion
of the Christ. By the way, let me tell you what
I gathered from Passion of the Christ.
Like, dude, not for nothing, noteven fucking interested.

(59:53):
You know what I'm saying? Like I've not seen it.
You're not missing much if you've read the.
That's what I I understood too. And there was so much
controversy when that movie cameout with Mel Gibson.
Oh my God, there was a huge controversy when that came out.
Well, yeah, you got to see what they were talking about.

(01:00:14):
Well, you don't have to see the movie because yeah, I don't need
to. I won't.
I won't watch it again. I won't.
Nope. I'm good.
I'm good. I mean, first of all, it was it
was super brutal, you know, likeit was very brutal.
And I'm like, OK, I don't know any.
I mean, is this, am I supposed to watch this and think to

(01:00:35):
myself, like, I think it's supposed to make you feel like,
wow, this guy died for my sentence.
I should, you know, I need to goto church on Sunday after
watching this. And I, I felt I felt so numb
after watching it that I went tomy kitchen and I started cooking
and I was shaking because I was like, what the fuck did I just

(01:00:56):
see? And again, I, I see zombie.
Like, again, we could watch likea zombie movie and be like, Oh
yeah, zombie. But this is something that's
written in the book that has been preached on us.
I want, I don't even want to sayspoon.
And the reason we shoveled down our throats as kids, you know,
and it's like as an adult, I'm like, you know what?

(01:01:18):
I choose to be like, you know what, fuck this.
I don't. I don't have to care.
You know what I'm saying? And that's what I think Mel
Gibson was going for when he made that movie.
Because nobody, I mean, everybody was taught that Jesus
Christ died for your sins, period.

(01:01:38):
And that's the way they leave itat they don't, they don't go
through, they don't see the suffering, they don't see the
torturing, they don't see the ridicule.
They don't see all these things that was that was leading up to
his death. Yeah.
They don't see none of that, buthe shows all of that and he

(01:01:59):
shows it in great detail how he was covered in how he was
covered in and and welts all over his body with cuts and
sores. And then they placed a blanket
over them and they waited to theto the to the blanket star to
coagulate around. And then they ripped it off of

(01:02:20):
them to reopen all the sores on his body.
Yeah, it was just like it. Was just all kinds of things
that they did like I people theythey, they numb it down to oh,
Jesus Christ died for our sins and that's where they leave it,
you know? Yeah.
And, and it's just like, you didn't need.
I think it was just like, it wasjust way too much torture.

(01:02:44):
Yeah. That's what they focus.
That's what Mel Gibson kind of focused on.
And again, I think he was tryingto just be like, hey, look, this
is the guy who died for his sin.This is what he went through.
And I'm just like, well, you know, one man going through all
this. I'm just like a part of me just
felt like, OK, you just took thefun out of believing in

(01:03:05):
believing this. Because now it's like, I got
this in my head. Like I've watched, I've watched
Lincoln and had gotten more out of that movie than Passion of
the crime. Because at least at the end, at
least at the end of Lincoln, they're not showing you the
bullet traveling out of John Wilkes boots, gun entering the

(01:03:27):
head of, you know, Abraham Lincoln and then of course,
going through the skull shot thewhole time and then exiting.
No, they didn't even do that. It's like.
All. Of this, this is what Lincoln,
they focused on what he stood for.
And then, of course, towards thethe end of the movie, what
happened at the the Ford Theater.

(01:03:48):
I mean, they didn't, again, theydidn't even show that, you know,
they. Yeah, they just let you use your
imagination. Exactly, you know what I'm
saying and and and again, but they should have that's what
Mel. I think that's what Mel Gibson
should have done with this movieinstead, you know, kind.
Of getting the little look. So it it says that a little bit

(01:04:09):
on his family background, his father hunting, hunting.
Gibson has publicly expressed extremist views, including
questioning the Holocaust. Oh yeah, yeah.
So I mean, his dad was, I mean, he thought he was Irish,
American, Catholic, Roman Catholic, but they were talking
like he got a lot of, and I think this is because I was

(01:04:32):
questioning what I know. He got a lot of clap back, a lot
of clap back about. Making a lot of it.
Yes, he did. And the reason why was because,
let's see, face criticism from various religious groups,
including the Anti Defamation League, who argued that the
movie promoted anti-Semitic stereotypes by portraying Jews

(01:04:53):
as collectively responsible for the death of Jews.
Jesus. Well, I'm like, well, that, that
would, yeah, I mean. I could see that, of course,
yes. But it's just like, you know, I
mean, that's why the KKK they don't like Jews because they

(01:05:16):
feel, hey, Jews killed Jesus Christ.
And it's like, really, how can you hate a group of people that
killed your God and you condemned them?
I I don't understand that weird,you know, keep.
In mind, keep in mind the the mentality of people who hate

(01:05:41):
entire races based on the actions of one person or a
couple, a handful of people. How do you, how do you hate an
entire race of people based on the actions of two or three
people who identify as, you know, that doesn't make any
sense to me, you know? Yeah, I mean, no, I agree.

(01:06:01):
I think hate, I mean, again, that's a lot of energy.
Just like, could you imagine if I hated, like, even if I hated
white people, which I mean, you know, there's just like if I
hated white people, I I'll be exhausted, you know, like The
thing is just, oh, look, Whitey over there smoking a cigarette,
minding his own fucking business, you know what I'm

(01:06:21):
saying? Like.
Let. Me guess.
Did you just hear what my husband said?
And he slipped that in there so fucking casual.
Like nobody would have heard that.
Like nobody would have heard that.
Like it was funny, I was talkingto a bunch of friends of mine
and we were like, could you imagine if we were race?

(01:06:41):
Like he just you know, I like to, I am just one of those dudes
that like at work, I like to just kind of shake, rattle the
cage a little bit. So it's like a bunch of us
standing around the water coolerand we're talking about our
weekend. And I was like, hey, could you
imagine? And it's just like 3 black guys
and a white dude walked by us. Like hey, could you imagine if
we were just racist, just racist, white racist against

(01:07:05):
white people? Could you imagine if we were
that, you know, and they were just like, where's this coming
from? And another one was like, are
you asking for our permission tobe racist white people?
I'm like, no, but just could youimagine that?
Like imagine if we were just like sitting there hating like
again, like I was just saying like I got a white goo minding
his own business smoke. I've been like, oh, I bet you're
not even smoking cools or Newports.

(01:07:25):
You're smoking mall pearls like a real white man would.
You know, like, but, but it's just like, I don't.
Have. You know, and again, my parents
never taught us to be never they're not racist.
They never taught us to be racist.
So it's just like, like you say,Marianne, like how could you?
One thing that I under one thingthat I believe is a is, is the

(01:07:50):
the the truth right here. And I see this through my knees.
Hate is taught. Yes, simple as that.
What you know hate is taught, Hate is taught.
It's a word, it is. Because I have a niece and I
watched the way she carries herself around other people.

(01:08:14):
She doesn't. I mean, we all say that children
speaks the most honest truth, right?
Yeah, she. Doesn't she doesn't say she
never meant she doesn't see color.
You know what I'm saying? Oh that's I'm like, which dude
are you talking about? Oh the white guy.
Oh damn. OK, that's fine.
But she doesn't have, again, she's a kid and I'm hoping she

(01:08:35):
has that pure of heart when she's in her 20s and 30s, but
she does not she she doesn't, she does not have that hateful
demeanor that I'm capable of having, you know what I'm
saying? Because of like, she's a child
and she doesn't see, I mean, shedoesn't see the world that I see

(01:08:57):
it as far as people. I mean, well, not as far as
people, but she doesn't look at color.
And I would never tell her, hey,don't talk to that person.
Like, we'll we will pass. We will walk by somebody who has
like the, like the, the, the face covered and all that.
And she would ask about that. And I'm like, oh, you know, it's

(01:09:18):
a religious thing, you know? Yeah.
Women that have their face covered and you could only see
the eyes. We have a lot of them in our
neighborhood actually, believe it or not.
Alberta, yes. And, you know, I would, We would
walk around the neighborhood andshe would see that and she would
ask the question. Yeah.
And that's, that's curiosity because it's something you don't

(01:09:39):
see in your necessary in your home life, your daily life,
your, you know, like at school, stuff like that.
So you're wondering like, is that a fashion?
You know, you don't know, is it a fashion?
Is it, is it something that maybe like especially for a
child who, who came through the pandemic, you know, maybe it

(01:10:01):
could be, you know, we're so used to seeing people wearing
masks. Is that something like a new
kind of mask? I mean, you know, it could be
just about anything. See, but what I'm thinking it's
not hate is not taught only, it's also learned.
And what I mean by that, like you said, when we're kids, when
we kid, when we're kids, we'll play with any other kid, you

(01:10:23):
know, so forth and so on. But as we get old.
As also. Then you start seeing the evil
of others. Yeah, I mean.
That's where a lot of them start.
They, you know, like. Their own you, but they make
their own decisions on that. Exactly.
They make their own decisions onit.

(01:10:44):
Again, it's I look at, it's the parents, I look at the parents.
I'm going to say that there's something a little bit different
too. OK, so there there was this and
I I forgive me, I don't have allthe stats in front of me or who
who conducted this. I'm trying to remember she at
all. I can look it up later.
She did she's amazing about antiracism.

(01:11:11):
Actually, she was a white teacher in the 60s and 70s or I
think maybe the 50s. And so, but she did the, the
blue eye, green eye, brown eye thing.
So one of the things that she, she did and, and part of this
study was, is that, OK, So they took a child and, and brought

(01:11:37):
this child like I see into the classroom of a teacher.
And they did it with multiple teachers, right?
Just to, to kind of gauge the, to get a, a, an actual response,
you know, a, a checked and measured response.

(01:11:57):
And they told the teacher, you know, that this person, the kid
was slow, they were kind of stupid.
They were kind of like a, a, a misbehaved, right?
And the teacher's reports reflected that.
OK, so then they take the exact same child and give them a new

(01:12:19):
set of teachers and tell the teachers the student is very
brilliant. They are so well behaved, they
are so smart and they are so offthe chart.
And those teachers neared exactly what they were told.
That's all they saw. So those preconceived
perceptions can be planted in somebody's head.

(01:12:41):
And I've seen that in my own life in, in so many different
like when I've investigated accidents or even as HR when I
was investigating things. And we have a tendency when
somebody tells us something, oh,don't trust that person.
You know, they're not any right.All of a sudden you have a
preconceived and you don't even think about it.

(01:13:02):
You don't stop to check and say,why would they tell me this?
Why would I you know, OK, well, let and and it takes a lot of
action. It takes a lot of thought power
to say not to even to that person, but to within yourself
internally. They say, no, I'm not going to
just allow your perception of that person to color my own

(01:13:27):
opinion that I'm going to formulate over my own course of
time. And a lot of people, they don't
do that. So like when you talk about
something like kids or somethingor even adults, even adults are
are subject to that, right? Adults.
I mean, yeah, we are, but you know.

(01:13:48):
Think about something that then you take it at a like a deeper
level when you're talking about racism, It's something that the
color of your skin differentiates you from me here
in the now. But if we were in, let's say,
like an A contrary on area or a community that we were all the

(01:14:13):
same skin color, right? But maybe there was a different
color of eyes or a different color hair or maybe an accent.
There was a different accent then you would identify them
versus US, they versus the we. OK.
Because when you boil it down, we as tribal people, that's, you

(01:14:36):
know, weird. We're we're herd animals, we're
tribal. And we're always going to be
leery or suspicious of others than other than our own tribe
because of the fact that we don't know if, if you know,
they're going to bring danger tous, especially considering
humans are they're animals and they're also violent.

(01:14:59):
Depending on they can be very violent, they can be very
untrustworthy depending on the situation.
Like if if you're fighting for food and territory, yeah, you
can't trust them. So anything that's different,
you're going to identify that asa potential and you're going to
be super, super careful. But that's on a, an instinctual

(01:15:23):
animalistic basis. Now as a as, as, as cognitive
conscious human beings, we can stop and say, wait a minute,
that's some bullshit. Is this really true?
Let's take it, let's take a stepback from ourselves and this
situation and really question the validity of that response.

(01:15:49):
Yeah, I mean also speaking with about racism, I think because I
think also or or hate being learned.
I also think that because I remember one time when I was
living in New York before I moved to Seattle, one of my, one

(01:16:11):
of my friends and his fiance at the time and the kid that, that
she had at the time as well, youknow, they came to New York and
they, they were going to be here.
They were here for like 5 days and they were like, hey, you
know, show us around whatever the, and the couple they wanted

(01:16:33):
to have like their time. So I was like, hey, I'll watch
the kid. I love kids, you know, I'll
watch the kid. We'll hang out for a day.
I took the kid to Harlem. I lived on the Upper West Side
at the time. I took the kid to Harlem, which
actually we watched Harlem and Itook him to a Barber shop

(01:16:53):
because I need to get my hair cut.
And I took him to a Barber shop.I bought him snacks and I had
him sit there and just like, youknow, I mean, and we're talking,
they're talking. They're like, dude, you, you're
just going to bring white kids to my to my Barber shop.
But but they were joking and they, you know, gave him a lot

(01:17:14):
of attention. They were talking to him and he
was talking to them. And, you know, he's never been
around. I can tell you for a fact he's
never been around this many black people who are Puerto
Ricans at one time in this setting.
And he looked like, you know, they liked him.
They were like, hey. Man, you want a soda?
You like soda, like, oh, we callit pop in Florida.

(01:17:37):
There's like, well, you want some pop, young man and
whatever, you know, things like that.
And so we, we're having dinner, you know, later on that day and
I and they're like, So what you guys do today?
And, and he right out the gate, he went to go get a haircut.
Oh, really? He was like, oh, that's he's
like, yeah, we went to Harlem. He remembered where we went.

(01:18:01):
And the father was like, you guys went to Harlem.
You took my son to Harlem. I was like, yeah.
He was like, how was it? Like, I was like, yeah, it was
good. He was like, you know, you know,
you said hang around more black people.
And he was just like, you know, like, wow, you know, like
because they don't have black friends.

(01:18:23):
Well, you know, except for me, you know, I'm like the only one.
So I was like, Nah, I heard, youknow, I show him around Harlem.
I took him to like, AI took him to like a lot of like snack
shops that there was like, there's a few Mexican like
restaurants there where we just ate like tacos, you know what
I'm saying? Just kind of giving him because
I'm like, look, man, you need a little bit of culture in you.

(01:18:45):
You need to see this is how the city is.
And he wasn't fazed by it. He wasn't like, oh, look, black
people. It's like, you live in Florida.
You know, I grew up with his father in, you know, in Texas.
So it's like, so it's like, you know, you're in Florida.
You probably don't get to hang, you know, get to hang out.
With this many black folks, but.You know, we went to a bunch of

(01:19:09):
like Hispanic places in Spanish Harlem, worked our way into West
Harlem, Central Harlem. Probably got to see more
homeless people than he should have.
But it's like, hey, got to breakthem in when they're young.
But also Harlem is gentrified, so there's white people there.
So we have to see some of the people there, so.
But at the same time, how old was he?

(01:19:32):
He was 9 at the time. OK, that's a that's such a great
age too, because yeah, he's a sponge and he's also, he's old
enough that he'll remember, if not every, the whole thing.
He's. At that age when he starts
making his own decisions. Yeah, yeah.
And and you know, he starts likereally putting pieces together.
Yeah, he started having his own opinion on on how.

(01:19:53):
The the thing, the, the thing that impressed my barbershop
people was his knowledge on basketball.
And that's what they taught thatthe minute that they turned on a
basketball game. And he was.
Clapton talking about stats, who's good, who he felt I was
like because, you know, his dad was a it was a basketball was

(01:20:15):
aficionado. So he's all talking about, you
know, I mean, he knew his shit about sports and he grabbed
everybody's attention and was rooting for, you know, I forget
what game was on, but he was rooting and just full of
knowledge, full of like, you know, interesting, fun facts

(01:20:36):
about the players or whatever. Again, you know, kids, Google is
free. So kids are always yeah, but but
but The thing is, it was just, you know, the reason I bring it
up is because he's hanging around and my, you know, the
barbershop there, you know, I knew I could bring him in and he
a he would be taken care of Nobody.
I mean, they would be like, wow,you know, sorry, we don't cut

(01:20:59):
white dudes hairs. We we don't have, we don't have
a white Barber for him. But they were cracking jokes and
he was even laughing, you know what I'm saying?
Like, but he got, he got to for for 1/2 an hour, got to hang out
with like, you know, my buddies from the Barber shop and, you
know, maybe learned a little bitmore than he should have.

(01:21:19):
But you know, but when we when, when me and his parents and him
was having dinner, like he was basically like reciting
everything that was done that day.
Like, you know, Uncle Jamal tookme to Harlem.
We got a haircut, we had fish tacos, we had St. tacos, You
know what I'm saying? You know, I was like, yeah, I
was literally, I was. The money that was in my pocket

(01:21:39):
was burning a hole in my pocket.So I just bought him food and
just tried to get him, you know,just have him experience.
The. Problem life, you know, it's
like my problem like that, but you know, it was like, why not?
It's so. Important.
It's so important, you know, to be able to have a different
perspective and to get a different point of view that the

(01:22:04):
worst thing, I think the worst thing that any of us could do is
live in an echo chamber. You know, we need to be able to
be stimulated to have somebody challenge us to our beliefs and
our views, even if it's just that experience of, you know,
you have a preconceived notion of what something is like and
then you experience it. I was listening today on the on

(01:22:28):
the radio. They were talking about the
Leaning Tower of Pisa. And how it wasn't.
And it's way smaller than peoplethink it is.
It's. Like 4 stories. 54 stories.
It's just. Oh, really?
Underwhelming how, how and, and it made me think about when I
was in Italy and I went to the Vatican and I was touring the

(01:22:49):
Vatican and the picture that allof us have seen, they have made
memes out of it. They have done like it's been on
so many different shows. I think even the Family Guy, I
mean everything I can. Do right.
It's on everything. Oh, it's but on the two guys and
I don't remember what it's called, but the two guys who are

(01:23:12):
who are reaching across. Our clouds?
Yeah, the finger of God. And they, yeah, and and they,
they touch fingers, right? OK, yeah, I know.
I know what you're talking about.
OK. And and yeah, the finger of God,
everybody has seen that in in some sight, some way, shape or
form. OK, yes.
And I always thought that it wasenormous, that it was huge.

(01:23:39):
And it's about the size of this TV.
Yeah, it's maybe about the size of our TV, literally.
And I remember 'cause when I wasin, I was in the Vatican and I
was looking up and I was trying to find it because the entire
ceiling is painted with all these different, like pictures
and, and different scenes. And it took me a while to find
it. And I remember just looking at

(01:24:02):
it and I was so underwhelming because of how small it was.
Like I had I'd had it blown up in my head that it was like 12
feet by 12 feet or, you know, itwould be something really
enormous that would stick out that, you know, it was larger
than life and it wasn't, it was so small.
And so I was like really shockedabout that.

(01:24:22):
But then on the flip side, when I went to go see the statue of
David, OK, we all know the statue of David where he's
standing there butt ass naked. And I expected the statue of
David to be like human size, like life-size, our size.

(01:24:44):
I didn't expect it to be 20 feettall.
I mean, this thing so huge when it was it was on a platform, but
the I mean the statue itself hadit been like 10 feet, 1012 feet
tall and it it was enormous, absolutely enormous.
And I remember looking at it going, my God, this thing is so

(01:25:06):
huge. You're.
Still talking about the statue, right?
Yes, the statue and every littlebit of him.
But I mean, that's how you know,they exaggerated because David
was white anyways. But see, I slipped that one in

(01:25:26):
too, huh? Yeah, I.
Know. I know, no, but it was.
So when you, you have these likethese spots in your head because
of what you've been shown and what you, you see.
And then so it's so good to havethat perspective when you get to

(01:25:46):
travel and you get to go see things, especially things that
like I did not know when I went to the Vatican, I was raised
Irish Catholic, OK? I was raised Catholic.
My family's from Ireland. I was raised very Irish
Catholic. But like you, I haven't gone to

(01:26:07):
church. I I don't, I don't get along
with organized religion, OK. I just don't, I don't get along
with organized religion for a million reasons.
And it does not mean that I am by no means an atheist, that's
for damn sure. Yeah, but it's just, you know,

(01:26:28):
and, and and that's what I thinkpeople that try to sneakily try
to, you know, force this whole yeah, again, religion on you.
It's, you know, it, it really rubs me the wrong way.
And I, and I did have an incident with somebody when it

(01:26:49):
came to that when, you know, I was, oh, when was the last time
you went to church, brother? When was Clinton in office?
You know, how about none of yourbusiness but.
But you know, here's the. Thing here's the thing though
real quick and then we'll we'll talk about that.
I was very surprised at my response of being in the Vatican

(01:27:16):
with the Pope was there and going through the Vatican.
The, I mean the like, literally how many Catholics have
pilgrimage to the Vatican and tobe out there, even in the, the
four, you know, the whole yard out there where people will

(01:27:36):
stand to go see the Pope come out you.
I felt it. I felt, I felt it down to my
ancestors. I felt it.
It actually was so overwhelming that it brought tears to my eyes
just being there. And again, I'm not religious,

(01:27:59):
like I'm not organized religion,but I came from that background
and knowing how much that would have meant to several members of
my family, like my grandma and stuff to be.
I mean, she would have loved to have gone because, you know, so.

(01:28:20):
Yeah, Exactly. Exactly.
And so it was so powerful. It was such a powerful
experience for me to be there that I think that I would, you
know, and I want to share that with Romeo.
I want to go back and I want to share.
We, we got there early and we had breakfast buffet at the

(01:28:41):
Vatican. We have, we got tickets, we got
breakfast buffet and then we toured the Vatican and we had to
run and catch a train early. So we didn't get to stay longer.
But I, I think that I would loveto go again just because my, my,
my companion that went with me, she not religious at all, no

(01:29:05):
religious upbringing. And so it didn't quite have the
say like it was more of architectural.
That was that part was really cool too.
But I would like to to kind of like experience it again and
just to see like it. It was just incredible.
I mean, I can't but more, you know, the more travel, more
travel, more travel. And I think that it is so

(01:29:26):
critical for people to get exposed to to different things.
So anyway, you were talking about the person is saying, when
was the last time you went to church?
And you said, when was the Clinton administration?
What was their? Response Oh, they just thought
that I needed to be baptized and, you know, like, have you
heard of the good book? And it's like, yeah, I know the

(01:29:46):
stories. I mean, I'm not yeah, I was
like, yeah, you know, I know thestories and this not whatever.
And, you know, he invited me to church and I was like, no,
that's, that's not. Happening.
You know what? I'm saying like it's really.
Funny how they they, everybody wants to see not happening.
I'm trying to save your soul, brother.
As a matter of fact, as a matterof fact, what I told him was I'm

(01:30:07):
very comfortable with my demons.And they don't that answer.
I might as well have been Satan himself.
But yeah, I was like, no, he waslike, you know, I was like,
yeah, no, I'm very, I'm comfortable with my demons,
thank you very much. You.
Know I don't need, I don't need to be fixed, you know, and.

(01:30:30):
Let me guess, this wasn't even like a priest or it wasn't some
person of the cloth, it was justsome.
Guy walking around with the fucking Bible.
Wasn't some white dude. Yes.
Yeah. Yes, and I'm like, look, that
shit may work in Utah. This is.
OK, hold on, hold on, white dude.
Look what you fucking did to theNative Americans.

(01:30:51):
Look what you guys already did to the African, the Africans
that you drug over here, your people brought over here.
Fuck off, OK? You can't get me too.
They can't catch us all. Next white dude, that next white
dude that asked me to go to church with them, I'm going to
ask him what color is Jesus. And if he tells me White, I'm

(01:31:11):
going to be like, yeah. Perfectly, perfectly acceptable
question. And.
And why do you think he's white?I'm listening, Right?
Well, right. Yeah.
Oh, sorry. You.
Cancelled me. I saw something.
I saw something I saw. Something I know.
White Jesus bro. I know, right?
Somebody said what's what's in the what's in the Bible today

(01:31:35):
that wasn't in the Bible back then.
And the little girl said white people.
And I was like, that's the perfect answer.
Right. If you stop and think about it,
there's no way in hell Jesus waswhite.
Let's, let's, where were we? Where we were?

(01:31:55):
OK, let's, let's take it back and take it.
Because I remember I went to Sunday school as a child a
little bit, but I was too much of a little ornery cuss.
Yeah. Where was Jesus from?
Jerusalem. OK, where's Jerusalem?
Israel or is yeah, all as an effort.

(01:32:18):
No, no. Definitely in the Middle East.
Middle East. Middle East.
Oh, OK, Middle East. You know, Jerusalem, Bethlehem,
all that. You know it's all from the
Middle East, right? And.
When you see the. Places where they're having all
the wars there, yeah. Gaza, all that shit, all that
shit, right? Yeah, yeah.

(01:32:38):
But so, So what color are the people that that are born and
raised and live in the Middle East?
Black. They're brown.
Well, they're they're, they're, they're definitely brown.
They're a little bit they're light.
They're lighter than you and darker than Marianne.
They're definitely like they they make.

(01:33:02):
Jesus. Every time I see a portrait of
Jesus, he looks like some, some hillbilly, some like hillbilly
from Kansas. And I'm just like, that's not
like, you know? Even like they.
'D be having him look like a dirty biker.
Look, if they had they had Jesuslook like his skin tone really
wise, how would they possibly get white people to follow him,

(01:33:26):
especially racist white people, Racist white people.
Are. Not going to follow Jesus if
they know that Jesus is brown. Exactly, Exactly.
Like, wait, I mean, come on, Youcouldn't get white.
You couldn't get, I shouldn't say you couldn't get them.
Certain white people would not follow MLK.

(01:33:48):
Oh yeah. I think that's safe to say.
Like don't get me wrong, there was some there was some that
marched with them. I know a guy that did wouldn't
never shut up about it every time I bring up race, but he was
like, Hey, I've marched with theking.
I'm like, all right, you're maybe this doesn't, you know,
concern you for the most part, but no.

(01:34:09):
But if, if, if, if Martin LutherKing was Jesus Christ, Oh, today
you think white people would follow him?
They would probably kill him. Yeah.
Yeah, they would probably deporthim.
Or deport him. They would definitely deport
him. Sorry, Jesus.

(01:34:30):
ICE would be tackling his ass and taking him out.
They're sending you back and they're going to send you to the
Ukraine. I'm not from the Ukraine.
Doesn't matter. Your ass is now you're going to
go fucking fight with them. OK, so you just gave me an idea.
They're actually going to catch Jesus, nail him onto a cross,

(01:34:54):
and FedEx that cross back to theMiddle East.
Wow. That's what they would do.
Oh. My God, you know what that is?
I, I, I I can imagine the pilot being like, can you shut the
fuck up back there please? I'm trying to concentrate.
Left screaming. Oh my God.
Jesus kneeled to a cross laid out on the aisle floor, just

(01:35:16):
screaming his head off, praying that there wouldn't be
turbulence. Yeah, I'm not from Ukraine.
Don't take me there. He's like Jesus We picked up,
ladies and gentlemen, this just then Jesus was picked up in
Kansas and by ice and ice. Hold on the the the he's in

(01:35:38):
cuffs. They're bringing him out now,
he's peacefully being escorted into the vehicle and they're
taking him away where we've justbeen told that he's going to be
nailed to a cross and sent back to where the fuck he came from.
Oh my God, that was that I, you know.
And the bad thing about his Three days later, he'll be back
at Walmart. Trying to cure leprosy in in

(01:36:05):
some small town in that area. He'll be he'll be back at at
Walmart in Utah. OK, I'm.
Going to say right now, God. You would think, go ahead.
You would. Think that if anything, if Jesus
was in Kansas and he was white, he would be protected by like

(01:36:25):
the KKK, the white nationalists,the Christian nationalists, like
he would be protected. You know they would be.
You would have to go through an army of white people to get to
Jesus like Jesus. If he was white, but if.
He was white, but if he was. Jesus isn't white.
We already know that. OK, but I'm just saying if he

(01:36:45):
was white. Yes, but we know we.
Have every single Waffle House employee would be protecting his
ass if he was white. He's saying, OK, so, so first of
all, I'm going to say this rightnow, OK, somebody is flipping
out about us making, you know, like all these we're.
Well past that. First of all, here's what I'm
going to say. Jesus has a sense of humor.

(01:37:07):
Calm your tits, it's fine. So that being said.
Well, we know he has a sense of humor because black people have
senses of humor. So there you go.
I'm still in that in there. You.
Could take a good joke. Of course, what do they say?
Joke them if they can't take a fuck.

(01:37:30):
I've never heard that. I like that.
I like that, whatever I. Like that?
That's pretty fucking cool. I learned something new today.
Yes, joke them if they can't take a fuck so, but what I'm
saying is just that we know thatJesus wasn't white.
It's just not like. But things are always being

(01:37:51):
taught to. US but people are trying to to
soften it to make them look, youknow, like represent and who
knows maybe maybe Jesus if if Jesus came to America would be
white when he goes to Africa, he's black if he goes to when
he. Goes to Hong Kong.

(01:38:13):
He's yellow. Yeah, I was going to say, if he
goes to Atlantis, he's a woman and Wonder, Wonder Woman.
Yeah. Oh, he went to Thermoscore.
Yeah, Yeah. So we had me and Marian had a
discussion about, since we're talking about things, some
things being true and untrue. Now this is something that we

(01:38:38):
were discussing earlier and she made a very good point.
And I'm going to ask you, Jamal,what you think the moon being
discovered by man, true or false?
No, no, no, no not. Be you.
No, no. Being, being, being moon.
Landing the moon. Landing see, I know 60, you know

(01:38:59):
69. So to be honest with you,
because every I, I don't have anopinion about that because I
don't know. I'm not sure I, I mean.
So this is what with this is thethe and I believe, I don't
believe it actually happened. And she made a very good point

(01:39:21):
because she said this is what she said, she goes the moon
landing was supposed to happen in 1969, right?
56 years ago. 56 years ago if weactually landed on the moon 5056

(01:39:45):
years ago, why haven't we been back?
Not only no, no one's ever gone back.
Nobody's ever stepped foot. On Never ever step back, step
foot back on the moon ever in inin 50. 56 years.
In 50-6 years, if we really wentto the moon because the way.

(01:40:09):
If we landed on the man. The way man is, we like to,
we're like a germ. We like to go discover.
And then we, yeah, we infested. We they came over here, they
brought their young, they brought their old and they

(01:40:29):
procreated there and so forth and so on.
And they built if we went to themoon 50-6 years ago.
Why haven't we been? Back.
Why have not we been back? Yet think about.
The not one, not only us, any other country in the world, no
other has ever been back. And not, not the Chinese,

(01:40:50):
nobody. Now let me let me say too, why
wouldn't we go back and collect moon rocks?
Moondust shit that we'd be able to capitalize on South.
Yeah, right. Right.
Like, like simple shit to collect, you know?
And nobody's ever been back in 50-6 years, but there's a video

(01:41:13):
of them actually doing it. I'm like, who made the video?
Who made the fucking video, you know?
Yeah, I, I, I you know what? Yeah.
I really can't. I mean, it makes.
Yeah. Why, why wouldn't we go back,
see if there's any kind of. I mean, usually we explore.

(01:41:33):
Exactly. You know, we would explore, we
would see what we can do, you know, Hey, what kind of life
altering we can get from the moon or whatever, let's do.
Some stuff, can we build on it? Can we, Can we, can we gather
some type of minerals from it? You know that we can use.
We were watching Brickleberry when this came about and they,

(01:41:57):
you know, and they were faking AMartian landing, Mars landing.
And that's when we started talking about it.
And I was like, you know, in 50,as far as the cameras, OK, I
could say that they put cameras on the outside of the the
spacecraft and that's what was recording.
OK, Yay or nay? I don't know.

(01:42:19):
They didn't have that much technology back then like we do
now, OK. We have way further advanced
technology. I mean, for fuck's sake, I have
a whole computer in my hand that's more powerful than the
computer they used. They used to.
Run. The whole guidance system and to

(01:42:40):
get them out there to the moon and to run all the calculations
and and trajectories and all of that stuff, that whole computer
was bigger than my house. Yeah, oh, the Super computer.
Technology now is in palm of my hand.
This, this little palm of my hand, is more powerful than that
computer was. That would have taken the space

(01:43:01):
in my entire house. If we had the technology in 1969
to go to the moon, to land on the moon, why haven't we been
back? Yeah.
With today's technology, with today's cameras, today's
everything that we have, we would be able to have way better

(01:43:24):
like audio, visual. I know.
Have everything. We would be able to get samples,
we would be able to bring that back.
We would explore so much of it than just that one little spot.
Like what they do they like not even.
We'll be getting deported to themoon that we're going to send
your ass to the moon. We don't need you on our planet

(01:43:44):
anymore. Moon cricket.
I mean, I, I, I giggle every time somebody says that.
You know what? The only thing that I could
think of is the reason why we probably didn't go back to the

(01:44:05):
moon is maybe because it costs too much to fake it a second
time. I don't know.
That's the only thing that I could think of.
Like what's the budget to fake amoon landing these days with
inflation and shit? Like maybe that's maybe that's
what it is. Maybe it's like, hey look, I
don't. Do that they they probably it
was too easy for them to prove that it wasn't so that's AI,

(01:44:28):
that's not the moon. That's, that's AI, that's not,
that's not a real moon landing, so forth and so on, because you
still have. Speaking of AI, now I need to
ask AI. Why we haven't been to the moon
since? Yeah.
Since forever. Yeah, since the first time we
went. Why do we make movies about

(01:44:48):
going to the moon? And circling the moon and so
forth and so on. Yeah, see, yeah, I, I don't
really have like a huge opinion on that.
I mean, I, I know I, I, I, I hear people talking about it
still like, yeah, the moon landing, blah, blah, blah.
And I'm just like, oh, you guys are still on that.

(01:45:08):
Like, I don't, I have, I mean. I don't really care about it,
but the only reason it was brought up was because we were
bringing up the lies that you'refed Bible to the moon landing.
These are these are things that are fed to society on a daily
basis and expected for everybodyto swallow it, you know, like

(01:45:31):
taking medicine. That's what it is.
You know, you know, Jesus was a white dude and, you know, and
the moon and it was real and. You, you know, it was, it's fun
that you, you bring, like we're bringing all these things up.
Like the other day I was thinking like I was having a
conversation with somebody aboutthe holidays.

(01:45:52):
A friend of mine, I, I, I said my favorite holiday is I like
Halloween more than I like Christmas.
And my friend was like, well, I,he didn't, he did like, I don't
like Christmas because you know,the whole Santa thing and this,
that, whatever. And I'm like, well, hold on,
everybody knows. I mean, any adult will tell you

(01:46:14):
Santa Claus is not real, but he is the icon that represents
Christmas for the most part. You know what I'm saying?
Probably a pomshell like that the month before fucking
Christmas. OK, first of all, Santa Claus,
hold on. Santa Claus is real.
Yeah, the spirit of Santa Claus is real.

(01:46:37):
That's that's what that's what I'm talking about, though.
I'm talking about the, the spirits and him being an again,
it's not the well, I think what the whole idea of him going
around the world giving gifts onDecember 24th and what have you
like all that. Like again, we know that we know
it's fictitious, but at the sametime I'm not bothered by that

(01:47:01):
idea because again, I know it's not real, but at the same time
it's, it's, it's a fun spirit. Like I, I've sat down on Stannis
lap at the ball before and you know what?
I'm not, I'm not like I'm not anti that, you know, the elves
and the reindeer and all that. I'm all, I like the spirit of

(01:47:24):
all of that. Like I said, I don't hang my
religious beliefs on Santa Clausbecause again, I know that the
truth, you know, I know that's awhole fabrication and all that.
And I'm not, some people actually, they're bothered by
it. They're like, yeah, I don't
believe in the whole Santa Clauself reindeer thing, you know,
this flay and all that. And I'm like, but that's just

(01:47:45):
the coolness of it. Like whether you believe in the
Easter Bunny or not, I don't believe that.
I don't believe in the Easter Bunny, but I'm not bothered.
I mean, and again, that whole Pagan part of Easter with the
Bunny and all and that hidden, but I'm just like, it's up to
you to teach your kids that the Easter Bunny has nothing to do
with Easter. You know what I'm saying?
It's up to the parent to do that.

(01:48:06):
But I'm never going to tell my niece, Hey, Santa Claus isn't
going to doesn't exist. You want to know why?
Because when she gets to a certain age and she realized
what's real, then what's not, she's going to come up with her
own idea. She may one day come up to me
and be like, Yo, uncle is, is Santa Claus real?
And I'll say, well, I'll be ableto tell her the truth and
she'll, you know, be able to live with it.

(01:48:28):
Like, no, But you know, Santa Claus is basically an icon of
Christmas. You know, here's the story of
Santa Claus or whatever. Or if you sit down and watch
like the Peanuts gang holiday special and all that.
I grew up watching these. I don't have an issue with that
because again, with my grown up brain, I can distinguish the

(01:48:48):
difference between the religiouspart of Christmas and the hey,
the fun Santa Claus, Rudolph thered nosed reindeer, Frosty the
snowman. I'm not bothered by any of
those. Again, I don't worship Santa
Claus, Do you know what I'm saying?
But I like the idea of what Santa Claus represents for a
holiday that's super commercialized and, and what

(01:49:11):
have you. So do I like Christmas?
I mean, again, I like Halloween better, but I don't have an
issue with Christmas. Like, you know, based on what
people have an issue with with the Santa Claus thing.
OK, I have to ask you real quickabout Halloween.
Do you know where Halloween camefrom?
I do have an idea the Day of thedead it's it's basically the Day

(01:49:35):
of the dead Cinco de. Mayo.
No. I thought Cinco de Mayo was the
day of. The day, yeah, that's a
different. One.
No, no, you're, you're thing. Yeah, that's definitely not
that. Yeah, I I do have an idea.
It's not Day of the Dead either.Has nothing to do with that.
It it's from Ireland. Hey.

(01:49:57):
Oh. Hey.
Halloween came from Ireland, didit?
Yeah, yeah. And carving pumpkins.
We didn't carve pumpkins. We carved turnips.
But you know. Where did the pumpkins?
Come from I'm. I guess they were big enough.

(01:50:17):
Yeah, well, not that they're bigenough, but I think they were
more, more common and they grow better here than like turnips.
And they're probably more commonfor people to have.
But yeah, I know like in Ireland, they used to, my
grandma would tell me the stories about carving turnips.
And they also used to do things like they would, they would,

(01:50:38):
they would carve a hole all the way through and they would line
them up on this on the fence at the cemetery.
And when drunks would go by, they would shoot kerosene
through and light it and the carved turnip and oh, scare the
hell out of it. Oh, they loved, oh, they're huge
pranksters. They loved.
They loved teasing. Wait a minute, shooting fire at

(01:51:00):
homeless dudes? No drunk.
People. Went home from the the pub and
they had to walk past the cemetery.
Oh, they're. Insanely, insanely
superstitious. Yeah, so.
Wow, that's pretty. Good.
Oh yeah, they used to love to scare the shit out of each

(01:51:21):
other. Yeah, she would tell me about
how her brothers would do that. Oh, really?
Oh yeah, yeah, her brothers would you know, like when?
So when the dance 'cause they used to have to walk.
Like it was practically. I, I, I'm gonna say it was
probably a good 5 to 6 miles to,to the meetings of the water.

(01:51:44):
And that's where they would holdthe dances.
And so they would go walk there to go to the dance.
And then when they would come home, they'd have to walk past
the cemetery on their way home. And so that's what they would do
is like, and they're already like, you know, to Irish your
marriage superstition. They're like, we don't, you

(01:52:06):
know, it's it's like that's where I say us some black
people, we have a lot of time. We don't do dead people.
You know, we don't do like cemeteries and shit like that,
right. And so.
Telling you I know. No we do not.
No, not at all. I've, I've had my, I mean, I,
you know, my last job, I've shared a lot of time in
cemeteries. But yeah, most peaceful place

(01:52:30):
though. At night.
At night when you were drunk. I actually, Oh my God, the last
time I spent the night at a cemetery, I got into that car
accident on April Fool's Day in off the four O 5 in Bellevue.
Yeah. What?
Are you doing spending the nightat the cemetery?

(01:52:50):
I. When I say spend the night at
the cemetery, I spent the night with the girl at the cemetery
and we did things in the back ofmy Honda Element, OK, that are
not, let's just say you weren't.Living with me back then, huh?
I was actually, was I living with you?
I think I was. I was in, I had, I had the Honda

(01:53:13):
Element, the small Honda. Yeah, I bought my first car.
So I wrecked my first car in Seattle, first car that I ever
bought. I wrecked it in.
Seattle No. The Honda Element, no.
No, because you had the Honda Accord.
I had the Honda Civic after the.Or Honda Civic.
Honda Civic. Yeah.
So no, no, you weren't living with me.

(01:53:35):
Yeah, I think it was after that.I remember it was.
After day after that it may it might have been because.
You had not had that Honda Civicvery long because you had almost
positive you had the Honda Civicwhen we met because it was at
Riggs's birthday party. Yeah, I had the red Honda Civic
that Riggs had fixed a jillion times.

(01:53:56):
Oh my. God, I know, I know.
Our vehicle, Yeah. Yeah, he's fixed.
Yeah. And then when I remember.
Oh, yeah. So when I moved to Mercer
Island, I still had the Civic. Yes.
Yeah. OK.
So I had this the red Civic after after when I moved in with
you, I had the red. Yeah, I remember that because my

(01:54:16):
car insurance rate went differedfrom Spanaway to Mercer Island
and I was like, wow, I had to know my car insurance would have
been like that. But yeah.
But yeah, I had wrecked the car I had before.
The red Honda boy. Yeah, I such a fun night.

(01:54:39):
The girl that I that I had that I had that thing with, she found
out that I ended up in the hospital and she kind of kept
blaming herself. She's like, Oh my God, was I
that good? And I was like.
So you're trying to take credit for your car accident?

(01:54:59):
Yeah, pretty much. Oh my God, so she was.
Killing. Brothers.
Because my mom took a picture ofthe damaged car and posted up on
Facebook and she saw it. And her reaction was I was in
that car. Yeah.
I Yeah, but she was like, did wedo that to that car?

(01:55:23):
I was like, no. After we left, I got into that
car accident. She thought that the sex was
that great. It damaged and totaled my car.
I I wouldn't go that far, but you know, I like the fact that
she tried. Oh yeah, she probably told our
friends. Yeah, I'm killing them.
Literally. That is hilarious.

(01:55:44):
Yeah. And it was weird because I went,
I went to a comedy club. I went to the parlour that night
and it was again, I, like I said, it was, it was like the
end of March, early April and itwas Comic Con week, Comic Con
weekend. So yeah, I was tired from

(01:56:05):
walking. I went to the comedy club at the
at the parlour to see this comicMike Becky own New York guy who
I was like, Oh yeah, I know MikeBecky and her friend was like,
yeah, let's go, let's go catch him.
So we went and saw him there andlike hours after I saw him, I
went to to Bellevue, picked up this chick, fucked around at the

(01:56:32):
graveyard. We were there for like we were
there for like 2 1/2 hours and Idropped her home and then I was
going home and got into that carwreck that almost, that almost
literally killed me. That almost killed me.
I should say literally because if that literally killed me, I
would have been dead. But yeah, it was.
It was. And the weird thing is, I have

(01:56:54):
the glass that they pull out of my elbow, the shards of glass
that they pull out of my elbow, laying around here as a reminder
to stay awake while driving. Oh wow, you fell asleep.
I fell asleep behind the wheel. Oh wow.
I, I caught when they, they sentme to Bellevue Hospital and I

(01:57:19):
remember they, the nurse can't comes into my room and she's
like, is there anybody that we could call to let you know that?
And I'm like, no, no, there's nobody that you can call.
And she was like, I'm pretty sure you have a family member
that, you know, should come and come and pick you up and

(01:57:41):
wondering where you are. And I said, ma'am, do you know
what day it is? And she looks at the calendar.
She's like, oh, that shouldn't matter.
I'm like, you don't know my family.
I call my. I called my brother first
because we've lived together at the time.
OK, Sakai, look, this is not an April Fool's joke.

(01:58:03):
I am in. What's the name of that hospital
there? Overlake is it?
Is it overlake? Overlake So I'm like, hey, I'm
at Overlake Hospital. I got into a car accident.
Can you come and get me? And he started laughing.
He said, hey, stay on the line. Let's tell mom that.
And mind you, it's it's not even10 in the morning.
It's like 7 in the morning. I didn't think you joking.

(01:58:26):
I hung up the phone and I said fuck it, I'll, I'll call my mom,
call my mom. And I told the White House.
I said, hey, mom, this is not anApril Fool's joke.
I need you to come get me. I'm in Overlake hospital.
I got into a car accident and she yelled at me.
I gave the phone to the nurse and I was like, can you talk to

(01:58:48):
this lady, please? She does not believe I'm here.
And and you know, my mom was like, you have one of these
bitches that you're fucking playing practical jokes on me.
I'm like, no, this. And the lady is talking to my
mom. She gives me back a vote and my
mom is convinced that the nurse has I told her that I was there
was a girl that I was banging and we're just playing a

(01:59:10):
practical choke on her. I was like, mom, and mind you,
she lives in Tacoma, so she's got to go from Tacoma to
Bellevue to come get me. That's and that's not an easy
schlep. No, she was not happy.
I was like, Mom, if you come to Bellevue and I'm not here, you

(01:59:33):
I'll do whatever you want me to do, but please come and get me.
I don't want to be here. And like an hour and a half
later, my mom shows up with likethe stern look on her face, like
angry look. And then when she sees me
bandaged up, she's like, oh, my God, my son, are you OK?

(01:59:53):
I was like, I told you I was here.
She. Was like I swear.
I thought you were playing a practical joke on.
Me, I'm like, yeah, we're way, way past mad.
Now not funny anymore, Yeah. Where's the vehicle?
I'm like, they towed that shit and we went and saw where they
towed the vehicle and the car was completely just totaled.

(02:00:15):
Wow. Jeez Louise.
Wow. Every so every April Fool's Day,
I'm reminded of the ordeal. And I even had show, I even did
shows with the cast on and everything.
And it took me a a good while toheal.

(02:00:37):
And I did it without painkillers.
That was the hardest part. Yeah, that's my April Fools, how
crazy my family is story. Wow, I bet Speaking of I I have
to tell you, because this kind of segued right in we didn't
very organically. So I, I, I saw this article and

(02:00:58):
I, I sent it to you about and and this to me just blew my
mind. It the headline of the article.
Let me let me pull it up becauseI sent it to you and I went this
is just too crazy to not share. It says that OK, I think I sent

(02:01:23):
it to you guys separately. The headline says car towed
twice in 15 days before anyone noticed a dead body in the back
seat. What?
I sent it to you too. You didn't read it.
No, I didn't. Yeah, this is wild.
It's wild. It said it.
And this was on KING5 here in Seattle, reported it.

(02:01:46):
Oh. This happened in seat no IT.
Didn't happen in Seattle, but itwas reported.
It said it took it took 15 days and two tows before anyone
noticed a dead man in the back seat of a car.
Now police are investigating hisdeath.
So I I went to go do a little bit of a deeper dive and it said
a 49 year old man's body was found in his car after it was

(02:02:09):
towed twice over 15 days, with afinal discovery made by workers
at a tow lot in Fairfax County, Virginia.
Initially towed from a business park on November 3rd and then
transferred to another tow yard before the body was discovered.

(02:02:30):
Police are investigating the man's death, though there is no
preliminary evidence of foul play.
So initial towing. The man's vehicle was towed by a
private company on November 3rd after being parked in a business
park, and the man had been reported missing on November
1st. OK, so.
He was there for two days. Nobody bothered to to yeah, so

(02:02:52):
he was missing under no, maybe even longer because he didn't
get reported until November 1st.So it could have been even
longer. And so then it gets towed on the
third the second tow. The car was later moved to a
second tow lot in Fairfax Countyand then the discovery 15 days
after the initial tow. 15 days later. 15 days.

(02:03:15):
Later sitting there rotting in. A car that's cooking in the sun
well, in Virginia. No, it's in November, so it's
getting. Colder.
It's getting colder, so. He's decomposing at a slower
rate. Yeah, so 15 days after the
initial tow, workers at the Fairfax County lot noticed the
body in the back seat and contacted police.

(02:03:36):
So there's an investigation. The man's identity and cause of
death are pending an examinationby the medical examiner.
Police have stated that there are currently no signs of of
foul play or a threat to the community.
So and, and I don't know if it was like, I mean, they said they
found him in the back seat of his car.
So I don't know if maybe. He fell asleep and never woke

(02:03:59):
up. Well.
It could have been, you know, suicide or anything like that.
But yeah. But he was in the back seat.
He was in the back. Seat probably doing some drugs
and passing. Oh, he could be OD in the back.
Could be. You know.
I don't. Know that is strange, Like what
would you be doing in the back seat that people forget that
you're there? Sleeping off a a a.

(02:04:21):
Benju. Oh yeah, if you got too drunk to
drive so you'd crawl in the backseat and sleep it off.
Choke on his own choke on his own vomit.
Yeah, I mean, I guess there's a lot of different things that
could be there you. Know, or maybe, yeah, maybe
somebody just planted the body there like, hey, you know.

(02:04:42):
Well, they said he was. He was reported missing on
November 1st. OK, so November. 1st.
And then on 1/3 he was told. So.
He's told the first time on 1/3 and then he was told again.
He was 15 days later. He was probably, you know,

(02:05:03):
usually they don't let you report somebody missing for like
24 hours, right? Or a couple of days.
I mean, who knows if he was married or not.
We don't know anything about it,but my gosh, like, just imagine.
The man's been gone for like a month.
Well, think about you know, you tow the car, you didn't look in

(02:05:23):
the back seat. I look in the back seat when I
get into my car right? I always check the back.
Seat you're hooking up the car to go tow it.
At no point you walking past thefucking car to to hook it up you
didn't like, glance inside the damn car and see a body.
Or, you know, sometimes you sometimes people leave kids in
those things, you know, it's like.

(02:05:44):
They are animals and shit and. Everything you got to make sure,
you got to make sure it's just you in there.
And and then. Well, I get, I guess some of
these, some of these tow companies, they don't want to
deal with people right away, so they hurry up and just hook the
car up and just drive off. If you see a dead body back
there, that's I mean that would but like.
But they didn't look back there.That's.

(02:06:06):
They didn't even. Yeah.
Well, we don't know that they didn't look they they just
didn't recognize that it was a body.
They're probably like, hey, hey,Sam, we're going to Fairfax, VA
Hang tight. Body was covered up with a
blanket or something back there sleeping.
Maybe it was smell or something that caught somebody's
attention. Because he may have been covered
up, you know, that's probably why they didn't recognize him.

(02:06:27):
If he was sleeping by her, yeah.Yeah, he could have been asleep,
but I mean, so they have this. Well, I I can tell you for a
fact in these parking lots, theydon't give a.
Fuck. Nope, they do not give a fuck.
I had my car parked in a a parking lot.

(02:06:48):
I was working in construction with to excuse me.
I went to go visit a job site and they were like, they didn't
tell me not to park in that parking lot.
I had a handicap placard. I went to go park.
They towed my shit. They towed my shit.
In less than an hour, they came in, swooped in, got my car and

(02:07:12):
towed it. Yeah, yeah, $200 and, and they
did not care because there was aconstruction going on next door.
They the business park had all these signs, you know, they had
a sign. I didn't see it because I got
there it was like 6 O clock in the morning.
So it was still dark. So I, I mean, I think it was
like 536 O clock in the morning when I got there.

(02:07:33):
It was, it was still and it was winter time so it was totally
dark out when I got parked and Iwas just running in.
I was doing a meeting with the crew and then bouncing and had
to call one of the guys said, yeah, I'm going to need you to
come take me to the tow yard andcome get my car.
And he's like, you parked there.And I'm like, fuck, I didn't

(02:07:54):
know. And I didn't think they would
tow a car with a handicap placard in it.
Oh, man. And it wasn't in a spot that was
in super, super. Like it wasn't like there was
any cars at all. Like they was taking up any
spots. Or yeah, I wasn't, you know, but
Oh yeah, no. And the tow company, So tow
company, what it is, is they, they get paid to keep the car if

(02:08:17):
they, if they don't have a permit or like the, the parking
lot permit on their tow, the shed.
And so that car, that's what they would do is they would go
through like every 15 minutes orsomething and just hook up and
tow hook. Up they was getting paid.
They they get paid. Oh yeah, they're getting well
because they're getting the the money to the the $200 that I

(02:08:39):
paid to fucking tow get to get it.
Out, and God forbid you can't get it out that day, they charge
you a state of fee every day that it's there.
Yeah, yeah. So.
Yeah. It could have been a parking lot
like that, like he was parked inone of those kind of parking
lots. And that's, but I mean, it took
him. He was reported missing on the

(02:09:03):
1st, but that doesn't mean that that was the day he pulled into
that parking lot. So it's just kind of it was
just, but it was just like it, it made me go what he the car he
was in was coat. His body was in this car and
they towed it twice and nobody noticed it was there.
Wow, Yeah, I had to read that. I mean, I read that headline

(02:09:23):
twice and I was like holy shit. Right.
They towed him twice and he was in there decaying.
DK So we start this out. So we start this out pretty good
with some movies that were red flags for men and movies that

(02:09:47):
they like to watch. So I think it's about time for
us to start talking about movieswe we're binge watching.
Yeah, Heck yeah. Yes it is.
Yes, it is so. So.
I will leave it to you guys to tell me what you guys have been
been watching. So we recently started watching
Mayor of Kingstown. The new season.

(02:10:11):
Well, I've I've watched. Season 1 from the beginning.
We started from. The have.
You seen it? No.
OK. I I like mayor of Kingstown.
I think that it's. This is my second attempt at
trying to watch it. Yeah, I'm pretty.
I thought you guys have seen it before.
No, I've seen it, I've seen up to season 3 but I want to watch

(02:10:35):
season 4 but I want her to watchit because I enjoy it but she
doesn't like a lot of the. It I don't, I don't want.
Jeremy. Renner I I do enjoy Jeremy
Renner. I remember watching this the

(02:11:03):
first time when it first came out and I think I made it to
episode 2 before I said yeah I'mdone.
Oh, OK. This time I've made it to
episode 3. And you're not done yet.
I don't know. I yeah, but I'm not going to be
able to watch this like I do theother stuff.
I know you can only. Need to be.
I know it'll have to be 1 episode a night I get.

(02:11:25):
It maybe 1 episode a night and then not just a night, but I
need a lot of fluff in between because it was in we watched 3
episodes yesterday and it was very fucking disturbing when you
were just talking about the passion of the Christ and you
were talking about how the bullet and then you go through
the creative and watching the blood and and watching it go and
the rains. That's kind of in a nutshell

(02:11:48):
what Mayor Kingstown showed too.And I was like and one of the
episodes involved a child at theage of 5 and I don't want to.
I don't know if I want to spoil it or.
Not no. It's not going to spoil well.
I'm going to say because you, I mean you see it coming.

(02:12:12):
The kid is in a trailer with hismeth methed out mom and I'm not
going to say how it happens but the trailer explodes.
So I mean that's it's a meth. What meth house doesn't explode?
Right, right. And the firefighters are coming

(02:12:34):
and they're putting everything out and then they, they're
putting out hotspots and they, they're like, oh, another
hotspot and they start extinguishing it.
And it's the five year old's body charcoal.
And I was just like, I mean, it was so.
She's just real sensitive to her.

(02:12:56):
You know, of course, who wouldn't be, I mean.
It just hits on so many different levels for me.
That's really, I think one of the things that really bothered
me and, and it's weird. I, I, you know how they wanted
to go after the person responsible as a murderer.

(02:13:19):
And my thought was why I don't agree with let me let me change
that. I am an advocate for the death
penalty. I think that the death penalty
is is necessary. However, I don't think in a

(02:13:48):
situation like that the death penalty is appropriate because
that was not something like I think of of the death penalty
the same way I would a rabid dog.
You would put down a rabid dog to protect everything.
You know, other animals and people.
I feel the same way about the death penalty of humans.

(02:14:10):
If they are going to re offend, if there is no way that they're
redeemable, then yes, the death penalty is appropriate.
And, and I could say that the guy who murdered tried to murder
my dad, death penalty would havebeen appropriate.
That person was somebody who wasevil and was and not just

(02:14:31):
because what he did to my dad, but what he did to other people,
right? I think that that that that dog
is rabid and it can't be saved, put it down, not have to pay,
you know, spend taxpayers money.But somebody in a situation like
that where it was an accident. He wasn't, he wasn't.
He didn't get the death penalty.No, no, no, no, but.

(02:14:52):
They did give them. They sent to someone to death
pretty much. Right, but no, what they said
that he would go to jail and sitin jail on death row.
And I don't think that and, and it, it actually made me like, I
actually felt really bad for himbecause it was something that it
was an accident. It wasn't just that it was an

(02:15:14):
accident. It made me look a little bit
deeper. Like we look at a lot of these
people who are, are doing stupidshit or, or getting into the
drugs and it's because they don't have a different life,
right? They don't have a different
path. Nobody showed them a different
path. And I don't think that putting

(02:15:37):
them to death is, is serves a purpose.
OK. I, I don't know.
It just, it stuck me on a, a morality level that I didn't
expect it to. And it was weird.
It, it made me actually very sympathetic for that guy.
And it made me think that, you know, we as a society need to do

(02:15:58):
better by a lot of our drug addicts because, but it starts
before they they get into drugs because once they're into drugs,
it's almost impossible. You know, it is impossible for
anybody else to save them. You cannot save another person.
They have to want to save themselves.
So it has to be you catch them before they do the drugs, before
they start that to show people that there's a different path.

(02:16:20):
And that it because I was looking at that little 5 year
old boy when he was and his mom's all messed out on the
couch and I'm like that little boy grows up right now.
You could, he's redeemable. But when he grows up, his path
is already written for him. He's already he's another meth
head waiting to happen because that's the life he's been shown.

(02:16:42):
But also though not I know that.You're, there's exceptions to
that rule, my love. And you are definitely an
exception to that rule, right? You are definitely an exception
to that rule, but you look at your neighborhood and everybody
around you and how many of thosepeople there were the exception?
And that's why I'm saying is this that you have to get to

(02:17:06):
them before it gets to that point.
You have to get them when they are those five year old kids
that are playing with the weights or dancing around in the
living room and the in their their underoos, you know, that's
where we need to go to be. And so it made me like really
feel sympathetic for the quote UN quote murderer because it was

(02:17:29):
absolutely a fucking accident because he was methed out.
He was high as fuck when he walked away and what he did
caused the accident. It wasn't intentional, right?
And I think that's where I I waslooking at it.
And that's what was so disturbing to me, besides the
the very vivid, vivid fucking images.

(02:17:51):
You know that like I, I wrestledwith a lot of demons last night
when I was watching it. Like a lot of my demons started
stirring to try and wake up. Like, hey, we haven't gone back,
we're still here. Want to play?
Going to play tonight when you're sleeping.
I like shows that do things likethat only because it rings true.
That's why I love The Wire so much.

(02:18:12):
The Wire, when people try to, you know, throw, I'm like, have
you watched The Wire? I was just in Baltimore this
past Sunday and I was told even before I went to Baltimore where
to go, where not to go, where tohang out.
And let me tell you something, Ifollowed everything to the T,
you know what I'm saying? Because, you know, Baltimore

(02:18:35):
gets what, 200 and 8300 homicides a year?
You know what I'm saying? That's a lot.
So and I wasn't phased. I wasn't, you know, I, we rode
around Baltimore. Baltimore, the areas that we
stayed at was super, was super cool, super chill.
Downtown Baltimore was great. Outside of Baltimore, outside of

(02:18:58):
downtown Baltimore, little bit ratchet, little bit super
ghetto. A lot of abandoned houses.
I was like, if we were in New York, these houses would be
Starbucks and malls and and shitlike that, like this property,
it would be something. But I'm like Baltimore, you
know, Charm City. I'm like aside from downtown,

(02:19:20):
I'm like, it's got to be, you know, you got to do better with
certain parts of the city. But nonetheless, you know, I
like what they did with the Inner Harbor.
You know, we hung out at the Inner Harbor.
Very, very nice, nice area. But at the same time, like we're
walking around and I'm like, yo,these Stoops remind me of the
wire, like the way that the houses are like put together and

(02:19:44):
the row houses and what have you.
You know, it reminded me of that.
But nonetheless, when you watch something like the the scene in
you were talking about in Mayor of Kingstown, it reminds you
that these things happen. That's what was so disturbing.
And that's, that is what really like, that's what was so

(02:20:06):
disturbing to me. And, and I was thinking about
that like, you know, and I, I'vebeen high class white trash.
I've lived in the, the, the mobile home parks.
You know, I was high class whitetrash because I had me a Jetta
too. But I know what it's like to, to
live in those trailer parks and I know what it was like.
Like I moved out, I think two months after I moved out, one of

(02:20:28):
the, the kids, two of the, the kids that my kids played with,
the mom, her boyfriend stabbed her to death in front of the
kids. And, you know, and it was drugs
and, and I think about stuff like that.
I think about, you know, these people that are cooking meth
and, and the kids that are around.
And I just, you know, like how it, it was so fucking real that

(02:20:56):
it, it just like I, I, I don't know, it's a lot of times I
watch television to escape my drama, to escape, you know, to
get a break from my own reality and, and reality, something that
is so vividly disturbing and mentally disturbing.

(02:21:20):
I'm not saying that it's not good.
I'm just saying that it's reallyfucking heavy and and deep to
watch and I'm already going through a lot of heavy deep shit
right now, so humor is good. Give me fluff.
But I can't just fucking watch humor all the fucking time.

(02:21:41):
I'm not asking you to. So that's why and once in a
while, because I love the wire and I've never seen it.
I've loved the wire. I do and favorite.
Show of all. Time, then you'll then you will
like Mayor of Kingstown. If you like the Wire, you'll
like I. Don't know.
I don't like the wire. I loved the Wire.

(02:22:03):
Well then check out Favorite Things down.
You won't be disappointed. I'm not saying that I'm not
going to continue to watch it because no, no, it's just, I'm
sorry. Go ahead.
I just have to, you know, like heads up our oh, you're you.
So it's just in town? You can.
No, I, I see what you're saying,Marianne.
There's just, you know, there's some things where you're just

(02:22:26):
like I, I, I'm not in the mood for this kind of, you know, like
a point. I am watching The Walking Dead.
I'm actually revisiting it because I didn't finish all
eleven seasons, but I wanted to watch The Walking Dead like 2
weeks ago. But I'm not in the headspace
right now to sit there and watchzombies, you know, So I, I had

(02:22:51):
to wait even like last week. I'm like, I'm going to watch The
Walking Dead. I have it, it's on Netflix.
I want to watch it on Netflix. And I was just, I'm like, OK,
like you said, you got a lot going on.
I have a lot going on. I was not in the mood to sit
down and watch disgusting, you know, like, I mean, and Walking

(02:23:13):
Dead is like really graphic, youknow what I'm saying?
So I'm not it's, it's not, it's I'm not surprised, you know,
because I've, I've seen this before, not in real life, of
course, but in in the show. So I know the level of, you
know. Intensity.
And yeah, so, but at the same time, it's like I'm not ready.

(02:23:35):
The first season is only 6 episodes long and I just watched
all of it a day, you know? But at the same time, there's
still something, there's a lot of emotional stuff that's in The
Walking Dead, a lot of emotionalstuff aside from the the
zombies, which I always tell people, like the zombies are
just the backdrop. There's more to the story than

(02:23:58):
zombies. There's tension between people.
There's a lot of loss. There's a lot of this.
And you know, I'm sitting here watching this.
I'm like, damn, I should have waited to watch this show again.
So, but I knocked out season 1, but nonetheless, I'm watching it

(02:24:20):
with a heavy heart because again, there are some emotional
parts in The Walking Dead. It's more than just zombies and
shooting them in the head and hitting them with sticks and
whatnot. There's there's something more
to that. And even when I even when I
watch other shows, I mean, I'm older now.
I've seen things. Shit, I've seen that body.
So when I see. One on ATV show.

(02:24:43):
My question is, I wonder what's Funeral Home that they're taking
them to or or I was watching a movie with a Bunny just a few
days ago and there was a funeralscene and he was like, hey, what
kind of casket is that? And I was like, OK, rewind it.
Let me see if I can identify thehandles and the markings on the

(02:25:03):
casket. And I couldn't identify.
We must have rewind it so many times that I even lost interest
in the scene because I'm just like, OK, bro, He's like, and
then he's kind of like zooming in.
He's like, how can you tell whatkind of casket is?
What kind of casket? I'm like, well, it depends on
the design of this on the handles or what's on the handles

(02:25:24):
or what's on the top or how it shaped or what have you, you
know, and the fact that I still know that scares me.
But yeah, I got friends who would like, hey, what kind of
casket is that? You know, I'm like, what Funeral
Home did he come from? You know, like, that's what I'm
curious about. But but yeah, so I get where
you're coming from. Sometimes things can be a little

(02:25:46):
too real. We have to kind of step back and
take a deep breath. I think that's, I think that's
why I think that's what romanticcomedies are for.
It's for situations like that, like, hey, you know, let's watch
a genre that should never exist so I could feel good about
myself. Or just a regular comedy.
Or even like watching nature shows.

(02:26:07):
I love those too. Nature shows.
Yeah. Love, nature show and even
though sometimes could be like. Like my favorite nature, my
favorite nature show is when animals attack.
Like that is just. Oh yeah.
Yeah, that's pretty. Cool, look at that bear beat the
shit out of this drunken old man.

(02:26:29):
It's when the deers whoop somebody's ass that you got to
be crying, laughing, you know, Imean, I.
Would love to see that. Well, what was funny about that?
His wife didn't fucking try to help him at all, kept filming.
It's happened to more than one one guy, trust me, more than one
guy has, you know, actually, I. Just read something.

(02:26:50):
I just read something last week about a woman getting killed by
a deer. A deer attacked a woman and
killed her. She had it coming, so the next.
So what else have we been to watching?
So we also watched the Tulsa King ended off with the season,
The Alley, which is really good.I was happy.

(02:27:11):
I was happy with the outcome on that.
Samuel L Jackson. Yeah, Samuel L Jackson.
I loved his partner. You know they they have.
Yeah. Did you say motherfucker a lot?
Did you say motherfucker a lot? Yeah, yeah.
Yeah, OK. And then now season 2 of Land
Man just started, so they've they've released episode 2 and

(02:27:35):
that now has Sam Elliott. I was going to say Sam Elliott
is a God. I love the fact that they casted
him in that because anything that he's in is gold.
I'm telling you, that is a fact.You know, I have to, you have to
like really tip your hat to Taylor Sheridan, who is is a

(02:27:58):
producer. And I'm not sure like of all of
these different shows, this is the second time he has passed
Samuel L Jacks or Samuel L Jackson.
I'm not sorry, Sam Elliott, Samuel L Jackson, this is the
first time, but Sam Elliott, this is the second series of

(02:28:20):
Taylor Sheridan that he's been in.
Really, what was the What was the 1st?
The first one was in 1883, whichwas the prequel to Yellowstone
so. Sam Sam Elliott's made love,
love him narrating The Big Lebowski and loved him in
Tombstone. I think he's actually from the

(02:28:41):
Pacific Northwest. I think he's from the Oregon
area actually, or he at least went to school in Oregon before
joining the military because he does have a military background
but love Sam Elliott. He is, Yeah.
I mean, Roadhouse. Oh my God.
You know. But that's right, he was in

(02:29:02):
Roadhouse. Yeah, yeah, He was in Roadhouse.
He was. You got the list goes on the the
the Sackets. I think he was in the Ghost
Rider, second Ghost Rider movie actually.
Actually, yes, he was but and hewas the.
Second Ghost Rider movie. It's trash, but Sam Elliott is

(02:29:24):
in it and if you're ever going to watch it, he would be the
reason to do so because he's actually pretty good in it.
Yeah, he was also good in that movie with Ashton Kutcher, the
TV series that was on the. Ranch.
The ranch, Oh my God. I really enjoyed that.
I loved watching that, Yeah. Watch.
I haven't watched that, but I do.

(02:29:45):
You haven't watched the Ranch yet?
That was really good. Oh wow, what?
Would I look like looking looking at the ranch?
What I What would I look like? Oh.
You're watching. I'm watching.
Open your mind. Open your mind.
Yeah, well, what would you be doing watching?
Desk mix and open your mind. I well I'm Caribbean people are

(02:30:10):
genetically disposed to watchingwesterns so I love westerns
anyway. Oh, I'm telling you.
I, I would, I would definitely. I, I mean, again, I've watched a
lot of, I've watched a lot of Sam Elliott movies and it's just
like he's one of those guys where I kind of feel like you

(02:30:33):
could have a beer with this guy.Like he's like a dude's dude,
like I would. Yes.
You know, like, I love all the stuff that he does.
And he seems like a true gentleman, you know, like just
a, just a cool fucking dude. So it's like, yeah.
That you could listen to readinga phone book and I'd be
entertained. And that mustache, it's like he

(02:30:55):
has like this cartoon mustache whenever they show the the trip,
like the trailer, the land man, and they show like Samuel
Jackson, like, Oh yeah, breakfast can be an event.
It's like kind of, kind of, yeah, Samuel is the man.
Yeah, yeah. What?
What cartoon does he? Oh, he's on Family Guy.

(02:31:16):
Family Guy, yeah. He's on Family Guy and he's a.
Family Guy. Whenever they take him out into
the wood to the to a ranch or something, it's either that one
or it's. American Dad No.

(02:31:37):
No, I wouldn't be an American dad.
It'd be a it's Family Guy or it's Cleveland Show.
Yeah, but it's it's the Family Guy family.
Guy or Yeah, no, it's not The Simpsons, so.
It's Family Guy. Is it The Simpsons?
No. No, I'm pretty sure I've heard
of my Family Guy. It's on Family Guy, OK?

(02:32:03):
Yeah. When when Peter goes out there
and he wanted. Mira W.
Which one is Mira West on? That's on.
That's on Family Guy. That's.
Family Guy too there. You go, that's the one he's on,
'cause they were, they were seentogether.
So yeah. So OK, so yes, Land Man season 2

(02:32:24):
and then what else? Are we still doing Big Bang?
Yeah, we've been doing a lot of like Big Bang just.
To I. Like one of the things about Big
Bang is when you've seen it so many times, it's very
comforting. It's like it's a familiar

(02:32:46):
comfort and it's easy to relax and just kind of drift off
asleep. Yeah.
And and that's, you know, a. Nice wind down.
Show it sure is. We got a start up on friends
here soon. Yeah, we'll watch Friends again

(02:33:07):
too, because just because both of them are ones that because
they're, they're just that comfortable, familiar.
So I think that's about it for us.
So what about you? What are you?
I have been watching as I was, as I just said, The Walking
Dead. I just finished Season 1.
I am now, well, when I'm done with this, when I sign off, I

(02:33:31):
will be watching Season 12 of South Park.
I'm looking forward. To that.
Yeah, I was on like season 10 the last time we spoke.
So yeah, season 12 of South Park, of course, Taxi, which
just makes me laugh in a in a warm place.

(02:33:52):
I know dude. I need to find taxi on air.
Taxi is on tube, It's on Tubey now.
OK, No, it's actually on Paramount Plus now.
Really. Is it OK we got Paramount?
Plus, yeah, we got Paramount Plus.
And Taxi is talking amazing. I do want to say I did see a
movie that really I saw Good Morning Vietnam yesterday and it

(02:34:20):
reminded me of how great that movie was.
Probably hard to write because Robin Williams did a lot of, I'm
pretty sure he did a lot of ad libbing in that.
I watched that movie yesterday and I was, I've seen it before
Robin. It solidified how amazing of an

(02:34:44):
actor Robin Williams was. I I keep saying this is that
Fire is his best movie. I'm probably going to shift
that. I think Good Morning Vietnam was
such an incredible movie. There's a scene that he does
that made me cry that he did that made me cry.

(02:35:05):
When I was watching, I was tearing up.
You guys remember? Have you guys seen the movie by
the way? Yes, yes.
Been a long time. I need to see it again.
I definitely need to see it again.
This it was on. It's on Tubi Forest Whitaker is
driving him. And they stop and they see a

(02:35:25):
bunch of military trucks. And they're like, hey, guys.
They're like, hey, it's, it's, you know, it's AC.
It's the guy, the guy who does the radio show, Hey, save the
Line. And he's like, I'm not in the
mood for saying it. And they're like, come on, Save
the line. It was like, all right, good
morning Vietnam. And he goes straight into this.

(02:35:49):
Maybe it's a 5 minute like standup bit that he's doing poking
fun of all these guys. He grabs a condom from one of
the guy's hat and he does. He's like, oh, it's you got
small. No, you got you got like I think
extra large, medium and white person.

(02:36:13):
He does like these crazy off thewall bits.
And I was like, Oh my God, we lost a fucking legend.
Yeah. Comedy and and might you this is
be, I mean, I grew up watching, of course, Jim Carrey.
But before Jim Carrey, there's Robin Williams, who was just

(02:36:34):
like 110 mph going at it. And he is just doing
impersonation to get fun at these guys.
And, you know, they're kids. And he's like, guys, I'm not
going to, I'm never, I'm not going to forget you guys.
I will never forget you guys. And they drive off, getting

(02:36:54):
ready to go to war. Yeah.
You know, but he takes the time to sit there and just do bits
and make these guys feel good. And you know, in his heart he
knows, hey, these guys are fighting a bullshit war, you
know what I'm saying? And I'm, I'm on the radio, you

(02:37:17):
know, breaking all the rules. You know, that scene, that
scene. And I think it's like almost 1/2
hour left before the movie. That's the whole movie, you know
what I'm saying? Like that's pretty much the
whole movie. And it just, it just made me

(02:37:37):
feel like, wow, This is why to do stand up comedy.
This is why, you know, I, I'm able to sit around with a bunch
of friends and lift up their moods by just being quirky and
witty and, you know, just, you know, just kind of roast people,

(02:37:58):
you know what I'm saying? And just have a great time doing
it. And then I watch Robin Williams
and I'm like, that's what comedyis all about.
You know, I'm saying it's not. And I'm like, there's no way.
The writers wrote that scene forhim or any of the radio scenes.
He there's no way it's hard to write for somebody like him or
it's hard to write for somebody like Jim Carrey.

(02:38:19):
Guys that could just do physicalcomedy, very comedy very well.
So that that movie I thought waslike, hey, this is a really good
movie whether you know, it's a very powerful movie.
It's very funny, but it's also very, it's very dramatic as
well, you know, during the Vietnam War and what have you.

(02:38:41):
So it, it really it, you know, Ilike movies that are able to
balance comedy, drama. You know, he's, he likes this
Vietnamese girl that he's tried to impress by pretending he's an
English teacher and teaching himEnglish.
I mean, it's such a it, it was, it was, it's such a good way.
I think that may be probably oneof my probably my my favorite

(02:39:06):
Robin Williams movie Robin Williams, you know, a a tribute
to Robin Williams, one of the inmy.
Opinion If we're going to talk about one of our favorites, man,
one of the most powerful that I think I've ever seen that he
did. Have you seen the Fisher King?

(02:39:27):
I have not. Watch The Fisher King.
OK. It is so it it is right there on
that same kind of level with Good Morning Vietnam.
It is OK. Then I'll enjoy it.
Oh yes, it is. It'll gut punch you and make you

(02:39:51):
laugh harder than you've ever laughed at.
You know, all in the same movie.You will cry.
You will laugh it. It is such a powerfully good It
was an amazing movie. OK.
I mean. It's.
We'll watch it together. It was such an amazing movie.
Yeah, I mean, Robin Williams is so good at blending both genres,

(02:40:14):
you know, drama and comedy or just even doing drama.
IPhones. You know, without having to be
funny. But it was just like, I'm
watching every time I see a Robin Williams movie that really
touches me. I'm like, man, this guy, this
guy is guy was just as an entertainer, as an actor.
This guy really was somebody special and I wish he.

(02:40:37):
He was so amazing and. Wish he was still alive to
continue to entertain us because, you know, he's
partially, he's partially the reason why I, you know, became a
comic. Yeah, Ditto.
Definitely hands down my favorite.

(02:40:57):
My favorite SO. Wow, What a.
What a what a downward way to end up, you know?
And I'm telling you though, like, so let's bring your back
up because I can't, we can't walk away like that.
What are you doing for Thanksgiving?
I don't know yet. I'm waiting for.

(02:41:17):
I'm waiting to find out which family member is going to invite
me. Or, well, you're invited here,
yeah. Yeah, I'll be there.
OK, I'll, I'll, I'll book a flight tomorrow.
And. I got a couple pies in the
freezer. We're deep frying a Turkey.
Most most likely we'll probably going to end up going.

(02:41:39):
We'll a family member will probably be cooking.
That's that's always the thing like who's cooking?
You know, because being we, we have a, somebody gave us a
Turkey. We have a Turkey and herb.
It's big. We are not going to be able to
cook it much. Let's finish it.
I'm just like, let's just save this for Christmas and we go to

(02:42:02):
our, you know, our last year, our uncle.
Oh my God, big spread. It was amazing.
What you do is you call your uncle and see if he needed
Turkey. Well, he's probably already got
one, but at the same time, with Caribbean Thanksgivings, it's
more than it's it's, I mean, food is not even a problem.

(02:42:23):
Like, yeah, the Turkey will be there, but it's like oxtail
Curry chicken macaroni and cheese and, and all that.
I mean we, we, we, you know, we put some seasoning in our.
Oh, we do too, trust me. I mean, we've got.
We season off Thanksgiving for sure.
Yeah. Daughter's making the the Greens
she's. She's.
Going. She's going to be coming.

(02:42:45):
In She's making greens and my son is going to be making Mac
and cheese. Nice.
Yeah, so we've got Oh yeah, Oh yeah, we got, we got to put some
flavor in in all of our stuff. And I like I said, I'm doing
sausage stuffing. So I'm going to be, you know, I
got the sausage put in my cornbread.

(02:43:07):
I mean, yeah, we got stuffing and cornbread and.
Yeah, it's going to be good, man.
Yeah, I mean, yeah, I, I, I likeit.
I'm not Black Friday. I'm probably going to sleep in
and I got a show Saturday and I got a show on Monday.
So I'm going to try not to eat my Oh, and funny enough, at my
job, I have a bunch of Tupperware because I will cook

(02:43:31):
food here. And then I would, whatever
leftovers I have, I bring it to work and I have a shit ton of
Tupperware there. And I meant to bring it home
today, but I forgot it. So I'm like when I because I
need, you know, when I go to whoever's Thanksgiving, I'm
packing, I'm packing food. So I could be.
Like I bought some some Tupperware that people can take.

(02:43:52):
Back Tupperware every year. I do and I, I give it to people
to take home with them. I cleaned it up today so it's
all rinsed out and ready to go. It's it's kind of flimsy so
it'll be perfect. Just it's like a only a 2/3 time
use. So I'll fill that sucker up and
send it home with people and then, yeah, I will make sure.

(02:44:12):
That we don't expect no no our Tupperware it back.
That's for you. I was going to say it where you
do you do you? Do people bring it back or?
No, we don't want it back. We always.
That's why we buy it, just so wecan give.
It we give it to them and they. That's yours.
You take it. Don't, don't, don't send it
back. Yeah, and this one's actually
got kind of a Christmas theme onthe lid, so they'll remember
when they see it. Oh, that's what we got from, you

(02:44:33):
know, Mom and Romeo or Dad and Marianne and you know, I mean,
so. Yeah, that's cool.
Yeah. I got to keep, I got to keep my
Tupperware because it's just like, but I want to, I got like
different sizes of Tupperware because sometimes I order
Chinese food and the Tupperware that they bring it in, I'm like,
oh, I can reuse this. So it's like I save it because I
