Speaker 1 (00:02):
There we go. Good morning, everybody. Welcome, Welcome, welcome, all is welcome.
We're five hundred feet above the streets in New York City,
and wow, it looks very very nice. Behind me that's
the island of man Manhattan, and the sun is going
to be popping in a little bit. And there you go.
We're back in the city, after a after a glorious

(00:23):
Thanksgiving way out east at the ocean. I am so
done with turkey. You're done with turkey, right, you know,
I said before before Thanksgiving, I'm like, no one likes turkey,
no one. So one of my leftover plates, I'm like,
you know what, let me, let me do a little experiment.
Let me get a whole nice plate of Thanksgiving. We

(00:47):
got the potatoes, we got the cranberry sauce, we got
the stuffing, we got the corn, what else a little
Coleslaw mashed potatoes. And then I decided for my last
plates of Thanksgiving because you know how it goes, right Thanksgiving,
you're in, you're into it. You pretty much have two plates.
You have the main plate, and then later later in

(01:08):
the night, when you're watching a movie with the family
or something, you get up and you get a second plate.
We all know that. And then the next day you're like, oh,
we got Thanksgiving in the refrigerator, and you get yourself
another plate. Ah, And then then what happens. That's Friday,
right then Saturday you don't even want to look at
the goddamn it leftovers. You're like, oh, enough of this.
And then Sunday you pop back in and you're like,

(01:29):
you know what, I'm gonna have one more plate. So
my experiment was Thanksgiving without the gravy. And I'm here
to say, without the gravy turkey steaks. But I hope
you had a fine, fine Thanksgiving. I had a fine,
fine Thanksgiving. It was nice to be with family and
friends and blah blah blah. It was nice to It

and I greatly appreciate you, even haters. Even haters reached out.
About the passing of my mom a a sad, sad situation.

So when she died, I'm like, you know what, this
is a piece of cake. We got this. My wife
kept checking in on me, and I'm like, I got this,
you know, you know the deal.

Hughes house was just fucking a big, old, giant water works.

Speaker 3 (04:16):
It sounds horrible.

Speaker 4 (04:20):
Actually crying on Christmas vacation, Kevy.

Speaker 1 (04:24):
That one scene, stupid John Hughes was pulling out the heartstrings.
You didn't grow up in a traditional family, and even
though my mom was broken, we had traditions and we
had we had a lot of good memories with the family.
And when he's in the attic watching the old films
of his own family on Christmas and winter, it got
me in the fields, Rod, it got me in the fields.

Speaker 4 (04:48):

him as a baby.

Speaker 3 (05:05):
I don't have to worry about that. I don't have
any videos.

Speaker 1 (05:34):
No, no, no, it was you. Yeah. Yeah. Well, everyone
has their own families and we don't do the big,
huge family get together. Although in the group chat there
was some some chatter about maybe maybe we go old
school and do one of those giant ones. One of
the problems is it would be like, fucking man, I
don't even know forty people. Probably that's that's a lot

(05:57):
for someone.

Speaker 3 (05:58):
Well, the reason I ask is I wonder, like, did
all of you cry?

Speaker 4 (06:03):
I assume like if all your brothers, do you think
your other brother says just cry.

I'm sure they had their moments. Yeah, I'm sure they
had their moments. But you know, no, but I had
a wonderful I had. I had a wonderful thanks even.

believe that the wind died down one of the days
and we had a glorious day on the beach.

Speaker 4 (09:56):
This way it comes and the Devil had like an
antiques remember that. It was like a small New England
town had an antique store.

Speaker 1 (10:04):
I don't know what you know. If you have read
one Stephen King's story, you have read them, all right, Ron?

Speaker 3 (10:13):
We do you know?

Speaker 4 (10:15):
We were gonna watch The Green Mile and I'm like,
you know that's a Stephen King novel.

Speaker 3 (10:18):
No one knew that.

Speaker 1 (10:19):
Theyone know that. Yeah, I did know that one, for real,
I did. But how was how was going back home
for the first time? What was it like seven or
eight years?

Speaker 4 (10:30):
Ye? Five?

Speaker 1 (10:31):
Three years? Right? Right? Okay, sucked?

Speaker 3 (10:34):
Kind of sucked.

Speaker 1 (10:35):
Oh my god, you were looking forward to it.

Speaker 3 (10:38):
Listen.

Speaker 4 (10:39):
Reconnecting with my cousin and reconnecting with Rachel, who's twenty two,
who just graduated from Brandice and now works at a
lab in Boston, and Molly, who's seventeen, who's a senior
now applying for college. Mollie, Rachel, and my cousin tober amazing, amazing,

(11:03):
amazing to reconnect. Shouldn't have taken shouldn't have had that
much separation.

Speaker 3 (11:09):
The issue. The issue is the husband. He's a massive
piece of ship.

Speaker 1 (11:15):
Oh my god.

Speaker 3 (11:16):
Really, the husband is a massive piece of sheet. He's abusive, abusive, he's.

Speaker 4 (11:24):
Verbally abusive, belittling my cousin in front of her children.
You're stupid, you lie, like, like, what the fuck? How
many times do I have to tell you this? Crive
By the way, he's a guess what he does. He's
a used car salesman, sold a car of a year.

(11:45):
He's a fucking piece of ship. He's a fucking piece
of ship rod.

Speaker 1 (11:50):
You're going all in this is crazy.

Speaker 4 (11:52):
Fuck him, dude, I've had it. I've given this guy time.
At the time, he's abusive. He's fucking belittling my cousin,
calling her stupid, telling her she doesn't know anything. He's
the type of guy who tries to control what you
say and how you say it. He tries to control
every aspect of his family. And the seventeen year old
daughter is I can see her. She's having serious psychological issues.

(12:15):
He's a fucking piece of suh.

Speaker 1 (12:21):
Enough enough of them.

Speaker 4 (12:24):
Yeah, So he's controlling every aspect of his family. He's
controlling how what his wife thinks and says, his children.
And obviously when you have that, when you're trying to
have that much control, it just means you have zero
self esteem.

Speaker 3 (12:42):
Right.

Speaker 4 (12:42):
He feels he feels like a piece of shit, and
he's taking it out on everybody. He hasn't made a
sale in a year. Can you imagine the financial stress.
He owns a like a auto body sort of like
repair shops, used car dealership. Yes, so he's a serious

(13:06):
fucking problem. And I made it very clear. I made
it very clear to my cousin the gloves are off.
I will no longer sit back and allow him to
be literally you in front of me or in front
of your children, literally calling the mother. You're fucking stupid,
You're a liar. How many times do I have to
fucking tell you like it's bad? But it's from the

(13:28):
time he gets up to the time he goes to bed.

Speaker 3 (13:31):
He controls every aspect. I've had it. You're fucking done, buddy.
I don't care.

Speaker 4 (13:37):
I don't consider him a family member anymore. I don't
consider him a friend. I consider him an enemy. Uh.
There's two bathrooms, and I use the bathroom that the
girls used, so they were in the bathroom shower. I
had to take a pants and I said, oh, I'm
gonna use your bathroom to my cousin.

Speaker 3 (13:52):
He's like, fuck, dog, you're not using my bathroom.

Speaker 4 (13:54):
You're not going to piss all over my floor, Like
it's that type of stuff.

Speaker 3 (13:57):
He had a giant bottle of vodka right right, and
he takes it out and I'm having a few sam Adams.
That's it. I don't drink heavy. You can't if you're
doing a morning show, right. So I've gotten to that.

Speaker 4 (14:09):
By the way, it's a blessing in disguise doing a
morning show. It really focuses your health, it does. Anyways,
he had a giant bottle of vodka and I'm like, hey, dude,
you know what, I'll have a shot. Fuck you know
like you do not like that set me off. I'm like,
so you're not you're you're getting drunk, but you're not

(14:29):
sharing it like he's a fucking piece of ship.

Speaker 1 (14:33):
Well, well he's not.

Speaker 3 (14:34):
He's not a fucking piece of ship.

Speaker 1 (14:37):
All right, all right, ronder you gotta you gotta like.

Speaker 3 (14:39):
Uh, I'm sorry, yeah, he he's under my skin.

Speaker 1 (14:41):
No, No, it's okay. You just gotta be We just don't.
We always have to be be careful. But uh, well, so, well,
obviously he's not sharing his vodka because he's a It
sounds like it sounds like you could say that way.
He's an alcoholic, and alcoholics don't like sharing their ship.
Don't get your own ship. This is my ship.

Speaker 3 (15:00):
It was a big fucking bottle.

Speaker 4 (15:02):
And then I see him like when he's pouring the Vodki,
pours it in like those coffee thermous mugs, fills it
with shaved ice.

Speaker 3 (15:09):
Literally, I see the vodka go.

Speaker 4 (15:13):
Then he's adding two other liqueurs, then he adds Bailey's,
and then he adds a like a kolua, So you're
really getting triple the vodka, triple the alcohol. He's a
very selfish man, and he's trying to control He literally
I was having a conversation with my cousin and he's

(15:34):
trying to say, trying to tell us what to say
and how to say it, like you're I was like,
I literally said, are you gonna monitor an adult conversation?
Are you serious? You know what something that is? You're
in something my intelligence, You're in something you're White's intelligent.
You're gonna monitor a conversation with my cousin?

Speaker 3 (15:55):
Are you fucking kidding me? Bro stopping, stopping now, and
his head went down.

Speaker 4 (15:59):
No, the reason I keep my mouth shut is because
I'm doing it for my cousin, Tober, and I'm doing
it for her two children, Rachel and Molly.

Speaker 3 (16:09):
I don't want to start. I don't I can handle it,
but I can only handle this so long.

Speaker 4 (16:14):
This guy's bad this guy's bad news. Well, this guy's
fucking bad news.

Speaker 1 (16:19):
And you have to do it that way because you
know you're not going to change this guy, and you're
just gonna make their lives that much worse after you leave. Dude.
You you last time I saw you were at get
We were at Gap Parts. We had a fine show
over there. Uh you know, we had a little small
talk on the sidewalk. Have a nice Thanksgiving and have
fun up there. Blah. You were leaving on a bus

(16:40):
to uh where was it? I know it was, I
always mess it up Boston? Was it Massachusetts?

Speaker 4 (16:45):
I left Port Authority? Yeah, in New York City and
I went to South Station.

Speaker 1 (16:50):
Okay, And you were sort of looking forward to it
because you haven't seen your is it? You said your cousin, right,
you haven't seen her in three years?

Speaker 3 (16:58):
Three years. I took you because of this type of behavior.
It was. It was a blessing to see Tova and
the two kids.

Speaker 4 (17:08):
And I didn't realize how much they missed me. Like
the two girls ran up and hugged me, and like
we had I had such a good time with the girls,
just fucking laughing. We were laughing, like we all had
a great time. And the husband is like, just joy

(17:28):
upsets him. So so you know, being silent is being complicit, right,
And I felt by not saying anything to my cousin.

Speaker 3 (17:39):
It's like I'm I'm I'm enabling him.

Speaker 4 (17:41):
So I gave her a nice text when I got home, saying, uh,
you know, my heart's filled reconnecting with you and the girls.
But I say, I just have to say, like, I'm
absolutely appalled how how your husband treats you. He belittles you,
he punished is you, and I just can't take it anymore.

(18:04):
Like it's it's bad, it's bad. She's you know, it's
unfortunate because I think a lot of women are in
these such situations. They have kids. Financially, you know, they're stuck.
I think she obviously feels stuck financially.

Speaker 3 (18:20):
They have one.

Speaker 4 (18:21):
They have one daughter that's a senior going to college.
I have another daughter who does graduated college. Financially, you know,
you can tell, you can see some of the life
is going out of her.

Speaker 3 (18:32):
You just it sucks, you know, when you have to.

Speaker 4 (18:35):
Settle and you're in a joyless marriage, that sucks, dude.

Speaker 1 (18:41):
So you were literally in hell for Thanksgiving. There's no
way around it. I mean, you found some joy with
the kids, but.

Speaker 3 (18:48):
There were some times. Yeah, you were in this.

Speaker 1 (18:50):
House where yeah, you were pretty much walking on like eggshells.

Speaker 3 (18:55):
Because I was.

Speaker 1 (18:56):
Yeah, you didn't know what was going to set this
guy off, did you? Is he a bigger guy, You're a.

Speaker 4 (19:03):
Little bigger than me. But listen, I want to be
very clear to everyone listening. Bullies are cowards. Real men
don't bully women. He's a coward, and believe me, he's
terrified in me. I am, I'm thunder and lightning. I
am I am. You know what, you know what makes
me dangerous because I'm actually a really good guy, Like

(19:25):
good guys are very very dangerous if you set them
off because I don't. My My state of being is
I'm content. I'm a content person and I work at that.
So if I'm angry, it's for real.

Speaker 3 (19:40):
It's for real, dude. I'm not a pussy and.

Speaker 4 (19:42):
I'm trying to respect my and I'm trying to respect
my cousins. You know, I don't want to cause more
havoc for her, right, But I've.

Speaker 1 (19:51):
Read between the lines. We've known each other a while.
How many years now have we known each other for real?
Off and on? Like five six? No before I met
you through Carl. For the people that don't know the backstory.
The only reason I know Ron is because me and
Carl did a pop up at Pete's Tavern and Ron
was our literal waiter. That's why I call him Ron

(20:11):
the Waiter to this day. And he fucking crushed it.
And then, uh, outside the restaurant, Carl said to me,
I have to say this. He goes, oh my god,
you're gonna replace me with Ron, like you're crazy? And
then I replaced Carl with you, but because of other
reasons obviously, but.

Speaker 3 (20:29):
Oh that's funny. I did replace Carl.

Speaker 1 (20:31):
I get yeah, but uh, I, uh wow, Ron, you
gave me a lot there.

Speaker 4 (20:37):
I know.

Speaker 1 (20:38):
I've known you a long time, is the point here,
probably about seven years. And uh, I've read between the
lines with your with your upbringing and all that, and
I'm like this Ron, he's fun to make fun of.
He takes, he takes a good joke, he could give
it back. He's looks like he just loves life. But
I always knew, always knew, don't cross Ron because he

(21:02):
will rip your fucking That's true only because I believe it, Bro,
I believe it.

Speaker 4 (21:08):
Yeah, only because I don't want to. So if you
get me to that point, right, game's over for you.
Game's over for you. The Hebrew him has come out
like that.

Speaker 1 (21:19):
You know what, Ron, I want to give you a
big hug because I think I think you actually helped
me with your story, because you know, I look back
at my childhood and my mom and all that. I'm
here to say, I am here to say it was
never that bad what you just described in my house,

(21:40):
it was never that bad. For I think you helped
me a little bit this morning with your story.

Speaker 4 (21:47):
I'm just shocked at like he feels that he can
literally belittle his wife in front of me, in front
of his children and then think there's no issue with it.

Speaker 3 (21:58):
He's he's highly abusive. And I made it clear to
my cousin.

Speaker 4 (22:01):
Like you're an abusive You're an abusive relationship man.

Speaker 1 (22:05):
Like, well, the problem, No, I was going to say,
the problem is that, Uh, let's just let's just speak
with about the women today. There are a lot of
women in bad marriages. They can't get out of it. Financially,
you can't get.

Speaker 4 (22:19):
Out of it, and right, and I just want to say, like,
it's not physical abuse, it's psychological.

Speaker 1 (22:26):
Right.

Speaker 4 (22:27):
At one point, Tony, the husband kept burating my cousin.

Speaker 3 (22:34):
Because something she would did.

Speaker 4 (22:35):
In the kitchen, like something they're making, like she did
something with the stuff and whatever. He's like, God, damn it,
I told you, and now you have to lie to.

Speaker 3 (22:43):
Me about it.

Speaker 4 (22:43):
And he kept going, and I'm like, Tony, what the fuck?
Ten minutes over this, Like what do you want to
get out of this? Do you want her to go
on her knees? And my cousin Tova goes no, he
just wants to punish me.

Speaker 1 (22:57):
She's making Thanksgiving for him.

Speaker 3 (22:59):
I would pick together, cooking it together. Yeah, it's it's horrible.

Speaker 1 (23:03):
Wait, wait was he in the kitchen helping?

Speaker 3 (23:07):
They're in the kitchen doing stuff together, and he just
he berates the children, he breaks her like everyone's he's perfect.

Speaker 4 (23:14):
No, it's really bad. It's the guy he's he's you know,
he's almost sixty. He's in his late fifties, and he
has the mentality of like of like a teenager. He
hasn't grown, he hasn't developed as a human. He's highly toxic.

Speaker 3 (23:32):
He's highly abusive.

Speaker 1 (23:33):
Was your cousin like crying and stuff? Was she kind
of in the at she or she just numb?

Speaker 4 (23:40):
At this point I think she's numb to it. And
I think what And I said to her, I think
you've normalized this. This ain't normal to it. This ain't normal.
So the next day, Friday morning, like, he sleeps late,
so we're up early, and I'm like, the first thing
I said to her is like, dude, is.

Speaker 3 (23:57):
He like this all the time or just because of
the holidays? And she said wrong, leave it alone. Oh god.

Speaker 4 (24:03):
And then and then I tried to bring it up
again and she goes, we all have our issues.

Speaker 3 (24:09):
And I'm like, oh my god, she's making excuses for him.

Speaker 1 (24:12):
Well, she probably has no choice. It's probably the lesser
of two evils. Ron sadly, Yeah, and you know what,
and unfortunately you know what you know, Like when you're
in a bad, uh situation, your baseline is your baseline.
It's what you know. Unfortunately, you know there's probably a
better life out there, But how do you get there?

Speaker 3 (24:32):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (24:33):
How do you get there without a lot of work?

Speaker 4 (24:35):
I wish she could know and feel like what like
true support and love feels like because it's like they
work for him. It's that's how he treats them. They're
his workers. And if you don't do exactly what he says.
He literally yells at you.

Speaker 1 (24:53):
Oh my god, dude, No, it's bad.

Speaker 3 (24:54):
It's bad.

Speaker 4 (24:55):
He's a piece of ship and and and he's a
coward for for treating women like that, and he's not watching.

Speaker 3 (25:03):
But Tony, you're a fucking piece of ship.

Speaker 1 (25:05):
Bro. Oh my god.

Speaker 4 (25:08):
No.

Speaker 3 (25:08):
And I made it clear.

Speaker 4 (25:09):
Uh if I ever see him.

Speaker 1 (25:15):
All right, you gotta be careful, serious rules. Trust me.
There's people I would I would live. I would love
to say exactly what you're saying to some people.

Speaker 3 (25:26):
You know what you know it is you.

Speaker 4 (25:27):
Try to be respectful for your cousin and for your
and for your nieces because you don't you.

Speaker 3 (25:32):
Know you they have to live there. I don't. I
don't live there. I come and go. You know.

Speaker 1 (25:38):
So, Uh, people are saying tough guy. No, Ron is
a tough guy. I wouldn't. I wouldn't mess with Ron.
I wouldn't mess with you in the end, Ron, just not.

Speaker 3 (25:50):
So it's such a heavy thing.

Speaker 1 (25:51):
Well, I just want to if you're moving on, I
just want to say this. I think it's really important
that you stay in touch with your cousin on a
regular bass and all that.

Speaker 4 (25:59):
Obviously, Okay, I'm not going to allow him to uh
separate me from my cousin and my niece's No, you
have to deal with me, bro.

Speaker 1 (26:09):
Do you think reason why you haven't seen them in
a while? Did you feel part of it? Yeah?

Speaker 3 (26:13):
I mean why go up when when.

Speaker 4 (26:15):
Dude, he he, he treats me with zero respect, He
doesn't respect me. I think he must think I'm a loser.
He doesn't understand who he's dealing with. And I'm only
biting my tongue because he's married to my cousin. Otherwise,
this guy's fucking dead, dead meat.

Speaker 1 (26:32):
Not like that, all right, man, They're just all right.

Speaker 3 (26:36):
It's a great I don't mean it like that.

Speaker 1 (26:37):
Yeah, I know you didn't mean like that. Okay, you
said on the lighter side about Thanksgi.

Speaker 3 (26:43):
Do you know what the cousin walk is on Thanksgiving?

Speaker 1 (26:46):
The cousin walk?

Speaker 3 (26:47):
Yeah? You ever heard of the cousin walk on Thanksgiving?

Speaker 1 (26:50):
I literally have never heard of this before.

Speaker 4 (26:52):
Is it a Massachusetts store when they when when they
smoke the flower, it's called the cousin walk.

Speaker 3 (26:58):
Hey, come on, let's walk around the quarter and they
get high.

Speaker 1 (27:01):
Oh I've never heard the term. I understand, I've been
there as far as taking the walk for some.

Speaker 4 (27:10):
So you know, you gather with the family Thanksgiving and
there's always a group of the uncles or the cousins, right,
who take a walk in the woods. Okay, and they're
and they're and they're lighting up. It's called the cousin walk.
So the cousin walk. So the day before Thanksgiving it's

(27:31):
called the cousin walk.

Speaker 3 (27:32):
Buying.

Speaker 4 (27:33):
The day before Thanksgiving is the second busiest day of
the year for cannabis sales.

Speaker 1 (27:39):
Oh really, what would be the first?

Speaker 3 (27:41):
What would be what's the number one day for cannabis sales?
That's easy?

Speaker 1 (27:45):
Uh, New Year's problem. No, what do you mean that's easy? Oh?

Speaker 3 (27:52):
There it is.

Speaker 4 (27:53):
Four twenty is the number one day for sales that
the right below it very close.

Speaker 3 (27:59):
They call it.

Speaker 4 (28:01):
The cousin walk day. And that's the day before Thanksgiving
where everyone's loaded. Why because everyone's loading up going to
the family, right.

Speaker 1 (28:10):
That makes sense because you got to deal with a
lot of drama at these these big get togethers. So
you did the cousin's walk with your cousin and and
did they.

Speaker 3 (28:19):
No, No, I was just I just saw that stat
All right.

Speaker 1 (28:23):
Well, it's funny. You should come back from Massachusetts with
these stories because you know, me talking openly about the
passing of my mom, while the amount of people that
reached out saying they could relate, I was, I was,
I was. I shouldn't say I was surprised, but I
was surprised. I actually was surprised because I know there's

(28:44):
a lot of people out there that deal with like toxic,
toxic people in their lives or in their families. And
then I read a stat that do you know that
a third of us have serious problems with people in
our families, whether it's like an uncle, n ann, a brother,
a sister, a mom, or a dad. A third of us,

(29:07):
they said, like real problems, not a little shut you
you know? Yeah, do you like, you know, like real solid,
efing issues a third of us? A third?

Speaker 4 (29:17):
That's crazy, right, I thought it'd be higher, honestly, really yeah.

Speaker 1 (29:23):
Yeah, but uh wow, Ron, that's uh wow. I'm kind
of bummed for you. I'm not gonna lie to you, Ron,
because you're kind of looking forward to this. You don't
have a lot of family. Yeah, you don't have a
lot of family. Uh, you were looking forward to this trip.
You haven't been back in you know, home or in
your home area in a long time. But I had
to deal with this monster just like pacing around the

(29:45):
fucking house.

Speaker 3 (29:46):
Dude.

Speaker 4 (29:47):
He as soon as he gets up, what are you doing?
Why is this here? Why is this on the counter?
Who left this out? Put it back?

Speaker 3 (29:53):
Like it's literally it's orders he's given.

Speaker 4 (29:56):
He gives orders from the time he gets up to
the time he goes to bed. He could troll every
aspect of his family. It's fucking disgusting.

Speaker 1 (30:03):
And then he's not providing. You said he hasn't sold
a car in a year.

Speaker 3 (30:07):
He hasn't sold a car in a year. I don't know.
I don't know. Uh, maybe he's got other investments. I
don't know. I don't know what's going on.

Speaker 1 (30:13):
Dude. This sounds like the start of a Ben Affleck movie,
just one of those dark movies. Said in Massachusetts, I I.

Speaker 3 (30:23):
Know my cousin.

Speaker 4 (30:24):
I know she's gonna she's I know she's saying when
the kids are out of school, I'm out. I know
she's saying that when they when when when Molly finishes college,
she's out.

Speaker 1 (30:34):
I have a feeling, can I I want to make
a point.

Speaker 4 (30:38):
I saw her in the kitchen with her hands on
the counter, with her head down, you know, like.

Speaker 1 (30:44):
Oh my god.

Speaker 3 (30:45):
It sucks to.

Speaker 4 (30:46):
See a family member who's like kind of deflated and
the joy's been taken out of them because they have
an abusive, overbearing husband who shames her.

Speaker 3 (30:57):
He literally shames her.

Speaker 4 (30:59):
Can you imagine shaming your wife in front of your
children or in front of other family members.

Speaker 1 (31:03):
Like she would knock my teeth out? Are you kidding me?

Speaker 3 (31:06):
Exactly? Yeah, she's a I.

Speaker 1 (31:10):
Have to say, it's something I just simply wouldn't do anyway. Yeah,
with that, But I want to go back to your
point about I want to make a blanket statement obviously
because I guarantee people would go you just have no idea.
But I think staying with somebody that's abusive like that
for the sake of the children, what are you actually
doing because you're because you're the kids are also in

(31:33):
that environment for you know, we're staying together for the
sake of the children. And I know every relationship is
unique and different, but as a blanket statement, that doesn't
make sense to me that you would stay for the
sake of the children. They know that'sid No.

Speaker 4 (31:50):
I think a major factor is it's finances. It's financial too,
you just you know what I mean. I think finances
also anchors you to that situation.

Speaker 1 (32:00):
All right. Wow? And I thought this was going to
be our big back from Thanksgiving live stream, all fun
and festive and.

Speaker 3 (32:09):
Uh well wow.

Speaker 4 (32:10):
She must have said something to him, because I gave
her a text, and then I gave her another text saying, hey,
you know what, I also have a right to express.

Speaker 3 (32:20):
How I felt. And I told her how I felt
like it was bad.

Speaker 4 (32:24):
Then around like eleven o'clock at night, I got a
texture him going, hey, I assume he got home safe.

Speaker 3 (32:30):
Question mark. That's never happened ever, So all right, it
was just, yeah, it sucks, it sucks, that's life.

Speaker 1 (32:38):
Did he hug you rightything? Dude?

Speaker 3 (32:41):
This guy would rather spit on me he like it.

Speaker 4 (32:44):
And also I don't think he likes family around like
I think it's like it's a danger to him in
his hold on what he had.

Speaker 3 (32:52):
You understand, even when.

Speaker 4 (32:54):
We were dumping the fucking ashes of her mother at
the park, he didn't he didn't even want to be
a part of it.

Speaker 1 (33:00):
Wait wait wait oh wait wait wait wait wait wait
wait is she the one that.

Speaker 3 (33:06):
Uh to his mother, the nacissist.

Speaker 1 (33:09):
But all right, you can't you could say, uh, let
me let me say this, because it's insane. You can't
say certain words for people that are no longer with us,
and they did and they did it to themselves. Okay,
you know what I'm saying, right, Oh, you can't actually
say the word anymore for some reason. So for three,
but I think we can start saying the R word

(33:29):
again because Trump Trump called Tim Walls an R and
then the reporter goes, did you mean to call him
at R? And he goes, yes, because he's an R.
So I think we might get that word back soon
because that's a beautiful word to also when you're mad.

Speaker 4 (33:46):
Yeah, but I think Trump Listen, don't don't under estimate Trump.

Speaker 3 (33:51):
He's very clever, right, you're clever.

Speaker 4 (33:53):
You said that on purpose because Tim Walter's son is
has the big.

Speaker 1 (33:57):
Oh yeah, yeah, thats fair enough, is.

Speaker 4 (34:00):
Like, and that's why even the Republics like, dude, you're
going too far.

Speaker 3 (34:05):
You're going too far.

Speaker 1 (34:06):
Fair enough and you know it's yeah, fair enough. I'll
leave it at that. You're yeah, okay, so very personal
and we have a.

Speaker 3 (34:15):
Bully as a president.

Speaker 4 (34:18):
You your president calling people to our word when they
have an r when they have a handicapped son. Really,
at least how do that You don't like Howard start
cause he was making fun of your friends.

Speaker 1 (34:32):
You're right, You're I back off. You're one hundred percent right.
The only reason I look people say it, and I
will say it. You're upset. Yeah, I am obsessed with
Howard because back in the day, he went after my
mentor who has a handicap daughter who's absolutely awesome, has
brother Weise's personality and everything. People love her to death.

(34:55):
And Howard went in hard because because he needed he
needed to take Weez out of the Rochester market. So
what do I do? I go after his family members?
And look, I was never I wasn't a choir boy
on the radio, So I'm not gonna even sit here
and make believe I didn't do shitty things. But at
least I acknowledge it did shitty things. So yeah, that's
where the obsession with Howard started. If Howard needs to

(35:17):
know him going after Weez's daughter, So yeah, you're right,
and the matter of people should admit that we have
a bully for a president. He might be doing well
for you.

Speaker 4 (35:27):
But he's a bully, by the way, so you know
the things brought from the head down, right, So like,
so what Trump picks people who are like him?

Speaker 3 (35:40):
Right, so he'd head seth. What is it? He's not
the he's the secretary of war. Is that the new
term secretary of war? It used to be secretary of defense? Right?

Speaker 4 (35:51):
Yeah, of course, just to let you know, the news
the news agency don't say secretary of war, like still
says secretary of defense.

Speaker 1 (35:58):
I noticed that.

Speaker 3 (36:00):
How about what this Fox say secretary of war?

Speaker 1 (36:04):
Yeah, I would assume they do.

Speaker 3 (36:05):
They do.

Speaker 1 (36:06):
Yeah, I uh, look, I know like pretty much anybody, Uh,
I know, people in the in the military. Uh, they
think they think this guy's a joke. They think he's
a joke, and they're just waiting for Trump to do
the right thing and move on from this idiot.

Speaker 4 (36:20):
Also, Cashptel, the FBI director, like there's so much turmoil
because of incompetence, but talking about bullies, Yeah, Pete's out
some big trouble.

Speaker 3 (36:32):
So that the initial strike.

Speaker 1 (36:34):
On the boat in Venezuela, right.

Speaker 4 (36:37):
Yes, you know those speedboats of the drug sure, sure, sure,
So the first strike left two survivors hanging off the
side of the boat, and Pete heads up gave the order.

Speaker 3 (36:46):
Kill them all. No survivors, no survivors. He said, kill
them all those survivors right right.

Speaker 4 (36:52):
And now Trump is saying, well, I spoke to him
about it and he said, no, so I believe Pete
that you do. We're doing stuff that you know third
world dictator countries are doing.

Speaker 3 (37:07):
This is supposed to be America the beacon of light.

Speaker 4 (37:09):
We're just straight up killing people now and international waters.
Speaking of bullies, what are you gonna And by the way,
his base, the MAGA, they love it.

Speaker 1 (37:25):
I uh, I have to point out the obvious, your
stupid Patriots. You're wearing the Tom Brady Patriots jersey. I
do want to say that the Bills had a decent
game last night. They took out Aaron Rodgers and the
Steelers and the terrible Towels. But I'm gonna admit that
this Bills team is not a Super Bowl champion team.

(37:46):
Josh Allen is still carrying that team on his back,
although the although the rest of the team showed up
a bit more last night than usual. But you're a
fucking Patriots. They're playing tonight, right.

Speaker 3 (37:59):
They're playing tonight.

Speaker 1 (38:00):
Are they going for their tenth winn.

Speaker 3 (38:02):
In a row?

Speaker 4 (38:02):
To dude, they have the best record in football, But are.

Speaker 1 (38:07):
They going for their tenth winning a row?

Speaker 3 (38:10):
I think they're going for their tenth winn in a row, right, but.

Speaker 1 (38:12):
They already have ten wins. I understand that.

Speaker 3 (38:14):
But yes, they're going for their tenth winning a row.

Speaker 1 (38:17):
They've won nine in a row.

Speaker 3 (38:20):
Incredible. Hold on, I don't want to give you a
cigre on the subject. I have this ready to go.
You ready for this?

Speaker 1 (38:25):
Yeah?

Speaker 4 (38:26):
Drake May, who is the current quarterback for the Patriot,
by the way, leads the NFL a like passing percentage
and like passage seventy two passing percentage. Right, Drake May
versus Tom Brady their very first twenty five games as
a Patriot, And by the way, tom Brady's the goat.

Speaker 3 (38:47):
Yes, not even It's not even a question.

Speaker 1 (38:49):
I don't think anyone comes close to him for real.

Speaker 4 (38:52):
You know when they say Michael Jordan's to go, oh no, no,
there's no question.

Speaker 1 (38:57):
James is the goat conversation in this household, It's not
even close. Lebron James is gonna be remembered for a
guy that had insane longevity, and they'll have pretty much
every record he more or less does at this point.

Speaker 4 (39:10):
Meanwhile, Michael Jordan's in the news because he's soon he's
you know, Michael Jordan's a NASCAR car ru Yeah, yeah,
and he's soon NASCAR because he says it's a monopoly
and uh, they're hoarding all the money and they're not
distribing it to the actual race car drive h whatever,

(39:33):
the race.

Speaker 1 (39:33):
Car teams or whatever.

Speaker 3 (39:35):
You know.

Speaker 4 (39:35):
Each owner loses roughly two point three million dollars a year,
so they don't even make money. That's what Michael Jordan's
Michael Jordan says. NASCAR itself makes billions, but the owners
lose lose millions every year. So Michael Jordan is trying
to fix that, fix that. He's going to court.

Speaker 1 (39:55):
No offense to the goat, but that that's a there's
a bunch of good old boys that run that whole
NASCAR thing. You ain't You ain't touching that shit. Yeah,
you ain't touching that shit.

Speaker 3 (40:08):
Just like you're.

Speaker 4 (40:09):
Crazy about black owners, they're not crazy about black drivers.

Speaker 1 (40:12):
Just like the NFL owners. You ain't touching their little group.

Speaker 4 (40:17):
No, no, So Drake May versus Tom Brady the first
twenty five games, and just remember tom Brady's.

Speaker 1 (40:28):
The careers in their careers, right, But this is can
I preface this by saying, because I think it's fair
to say Tom Brady didn't set the NFL on fire
in his first twenty five games. We all know that.
Is that fair to say? Oh, yeah, he had a
little bit of this. Yeah, he ramped up to where
he would would end up.

Speaker 4 (40:49):
Worst of all twenty five games is like two seasons.

Speaker 1 (40:52):
Uh yeah, more or less?

Speaker 3 (40:53):
Okay?

Speaker 4 (40:53):
So here, So here's the stats tom Brady versus Drake
May their first twenty five games, essentially two and a
half seasons.

Speaker 3 (41:02):
You're ready for this.

Speaker 4 (41:03):
In the first twenty five games, Drake May's completion percentage
is sixty eight point eight.

Speaker 3 (41:09):
Tom Brady's was sixty four point six.

Speaker 4 (41:12):
All right, passing yards for the first twenty five games,
Drake May was five four hundred and six. Tom Brady
was three hundred and twenty one. Once again, Drake May.
Touchdowns Drake May forty, tom Brady thirty nine. Interceptions Drake
May sixteen, tom Brady twenty two.

Speaker 3 (41:33):
On every category, Drake May's better in his first two.

Speaker 1 (41:36):
Years, and you just proved my point wrong. Tom Brady
had a hell of a start to his career because
it's comparable to what Drake May's doing. Yeah, you're completely
wrong about my point.

Speaker 4 (41:48):
Their stats are almost identical with Drake May's being just
a touch better.

Speaker 3 (41:53):
Hey, Drake May, and I think the Patriots.

Speaker 4 (41:56):
Have probably the best coach in football.

Speaker 3 (42:01):
They got a ten year run coming.

Speaker 1 (42:03):
They have a really good shot of going a very
long way this year. It's way ahead of schedule.

Speaker 4 (42:10):
Too, right, It's hilarious how the New Yorkers here are
like so pissed off, how good the Patriots are playing again?

Speaker 3 (42:17):
Well, you're like, dude, give us a break. The Jets have.

Speaker 4 (42:19):
Already been eliminated from the playoffs. The Giants have been
eliminated from the playoffs.

Speaker 1 (42:23):
Well, what people don't understand is, you know, I'm a
big sports fan in general. I tapped out of the Jets,
and I never was a Giants fan, but I tapped
out of the Jets a million years ago. That's why
I'm a huge Bills fan, because I lived up there,
I worked up there. The Jets sucked. It was very
easy to move on from the stupid Jets. But being

(42:43):
a New York sports fan is brutal. The Knicks are
finally back, you know, competing finally, but the drought in
New York sports is absolutely insane. How bad it's been
across the you.

Speaker 4 (43:01):
Know, speaking of the NFL, speaking of the Giants. But
by the way, the Giants are playing the Patriots tonight. Yeah,
but who knows what the spreader than that?

Speaker 1 (43:10):
So you know, but those are those tricky games where
do you think it's a given that the Patriots will
just destroy them? Those are the weird games that end
up going the other way for whatever reason.

Speaker 4 (43:22):
I'm telling you, this is Monday night football. Giants Patriots.
They two super Bowls. This is a game where the
Giants are going to be absolutely competitive, right the Super Bowl?

Speaker 1 (43:33):
Yeah? What else do they got? They got nothing?

Speaker 3 (43:35):
So speaking of the NFL, it's a nice segue.

Speaker 4 (43:39):
So apparently the NFL has a major smelling salts problem.

Speaker 1 (43:43):
I was reading about this, do you know what, do
you ever done it? I no, no, I was thinking
about it because we've done a lot of crazy. No,
I've never done it for real. But it is brutal
and it wakes your ship up immediately.

Speaker 4 (44:00):
Half of the Giants use smelling salt on a regular basis.

Speaker 3 (44:04):
So this is what happens.

Speaker 1 (44:05):
I gotta, I gotta stop here. What are they using
it for just basic maintenance.

Speaker 4 (44:10):
Or so like, what does it use it? They use
it for an adrenaline rush. But let me okay, so
this is how it works.

Speaker 1 (44:19):
Wait, wait again, I'm sorry, I need to understand it though.
Wasn't smelling salts I used when like a player was
a little fucked up from from getting hit too hard
or sometimes and it was waking that it was waking. No,
My point is originally it was being used properly where
we had this smelling salts. We don't use it a lot.

(44:41):
Oh ship, he looks like he's he's days and confused.
Give him some smelling salts, get him back on the
on the field. The only reason I interrupted you. Now
it went from that to their using it on a
regular basis to get that adrenaline rush.

Speaker 3 (44:54):
They're using it anymore?

Speaker 4 (44:57):
Yeah, okay, By the way, it's been smelling salts. Because
you brought up a very good point. Smelling salts are
now banned in boxing. Why because it masks the signs
of a concussion. Would you say, oh, they're wobbly. Ooh,
So smelling salts are now officially banned in boxing because
it masks the symptoms of a concussion.

Speaker 3 (45:20):
And two it will further.

Speaker 4 (45:25):
Exasperate a neck injury because you snap your head back
when you do it, right, Yeah, so box band it
because of neck injuries from snapping your head back. And
it's mass the signs of a concussion. So that's why
the NFL has a problem. Now you don't know if
they haven't cussion or not, because they may be wobbly,

(45:46):
just like you said, Hey the wobbley, let's snap them
out of it. They get snapped out of it maybe
before they get examined, and it masks the symptoms.

Speaker 3 (45:55):
This is how it works.

Speaker 4 (45:56):
So, so it releases ammonia gas right, which irritates the
nose and lungs, which triggers a sharp inhalation reflex.

Speaker 3 (46:08):
That in that.

Speaker 4 (46:10):
Deep sudden breath increases oxygen flow to the brain, which
this is the important part, which activates the sympathetic the
sympathetic nervous system, which then releases a jot of adrenaline.
So the whole it's it's like a sequence of events

(46:30):
right that the ammonia makes your body convulse and you
take a massive dose of oxygen and it triggers your
nervous your sympathetic nervous system. And when your sympathetic nervous
system is triggered, your body thinks it's in danger and
releases adrenaline. So yet you have these players there now,

(46:54):
they're hooked on it.

Speaker 3 (46:55):
Because they're by the way.

Speaker 4 (46:56):
I see quarterbacks now coming coming into the game. I
see cornerbacks in the NFL coming into the game.

Speaker 3 (47:04):
I see Rogers doing it too, because he's old.

Speaker 4 (47:07):
They're not injured, they're on the sideline because the defense
is on.

Speaker 3 (47:11):
When they come back in, you see him go like that.

Speaker 4 (47:14):
They go and then go in the game like it's
becoming a it's becoming a habit so bad.

Speaker 1 (47:19):
So how you just describe what happens to you when
you take smelling salts for themselves? Uh? Can't that trigger
a heart attack in some people? To have that jolt
like that?

Speaker 4 (47:33):
Probably if you're not a fucking you know, trained superior actly, Yeah.

Speaker 1 (47:37):
Yeah, yeah, I understand. That's wow. So what so are
they trying to ban the smelling salts?

Speaker 4 (47:43):
They're worried, Well, what's the big issue with the NFL
head injuries, right, they're concerned about masking concussions, right. And
also they're abusing it. They're abusing it. It's not meant
to be like, Okay, I'm uh, I'm going back in.
You see you see players so like that. Hockey players
doing a lot too though. See hockey players in the

(48:05):
on the bench going.

Speaker 1 (48:07):
Well, there's there's so much at stake, you know, I
mean to stay in the NFL. I think the average
career for an NFL players three years. I'm gonna say
it's like, it's definitely so you'll do anything to try
to stay in the NFL as long as you can
because you want to make that You're not making that
money outside the NFL.

Speaker 3 (48:27):
Dude, That's exactly why.

Speaker 4 (48:31):
Steroids were so rampant in baseball, because you say, hey,
why are you taking steroids? Because I wanted to keep
my starting position. I wanted to I didn't want to
be sent to the miners. Of course, I wanted to
get my fucking paycheck.

Speaker 1 (48:43):
And everyone was in. Everyone was in on it, and
then they had to make believe they were surprised that
we've done this wrap before with the Mark McGuire and
the Sammy Sosa. Oh let's they were doing what everyone
everyone knew.

Speaker 4 (49:00):
You got Clemens and Mark McGuire under oath going, you know,
just straight up lying.

Speaker 1 (49:05):
You know, as a sports fan though, do whatever whatever.
I like seeing monsters playing sports.

Speaker 3 (49:11):
I like it here in.

Speaker 4 (49:14):
The height of the steroid era with Mark McGuire and
Sammy Sosa.

Speaker 3 (49:18):
It's probably the highest ratings they ever had.

Speaker 1 (49:20):
Yeah, of course, of course.

Speaker 3 (49:22):
They should have massive home runs.

Speaker 1 (49:24):
They should have allowed it. You know, it's still going on,
just in different ways. Now, come on, you gotta be wow, Ron,
this is a lot huh.

Speaker 3 (49:35):
But yeah, go ahead.

Speaker 1 (49:37):
I was gonna say, welcome back. You know, almost a
week in a hell house, in a house of horrors.

Speaker 4 (49:45):
And here's the other thing. Would be like when you're
a guest in somebody's house, you accommodate them whatever they want, whatever. No, dude,
it's like I'm a prisoner, like I have to follow
his rules exactly.

Speaker 3 (49:57):
It's it's fucking horrible. Only cow Wards treat people like that.
Only cow would treat people like dude.

Speaker 4 (50:04):
You had a giant ollavaka and I'm your guests, and
I said, hey, you know what, keep it out.

Speaker 3 (50:08):
I'll do a shot.

Speaker 4 (50:09):
Your fucking Crosier like, all right, dude, And then I
went downstairs for something and my cousin like I can
hear my cousin like just laying into.

Speaker 3 (50:17):
Him, like what the fuck's wrong with you? So she
turned back. I'll be like, oh, do you want a shot?
I'm like and I literally said, get away from me.
So just get away from me.

Speaker 1 (50:26):
So she gives it back to him a little bit.

Speaker 3 (50:28):
A little bit, and then like I wanted to, I wanted.

Speaker 1 (50:31):
To did they Now I need to go deeper with this.
Did they set up the house? Do they like, get
you some drinks that you might like, whether it's a
soda or like a beer, or did they set up
your room nice? Then here's your fresh towels for your shower.

Speaker 4 (50:47):
This guy could get two fucks about me, and I'm stutying.

Speaker 3 (50:53):
He didn't like, he didn't like her mother around.

Speaker 4 (50:55):
He doesn't like he doesn't like family around because he's
so abusive.

Speaker 1 (50:59):
Wait, we went off tangent.

Speaker 4 (51:01):
He hated it, he hated her mother, He hated the narcissist.

Speaker 1 (51:05):
Okay, so the for the people that know, so, Ron
had an aunt that uh decided to uh not be
with us anymore. On Thanksgiving so.

Speaker 4 (51:15):
It ruined years ago. She decided to take it. She
decided to take a trip to heaven.

Speaker 1 (51:21):
Well, brother, we calls it a Pasadena. She decided to
take Pasadena her own Pasadena, y.

Speaker 3 (51:28):
Her own schedule.

Speaker 1 (51:29):
So wait, so your cousin had the ashes for the
last three years and you jumped it in a pond.
I remember you said this earlier.

Speaker 4 (51:37):
Oh yeah, they were waiting for me to come. So
I didn't know this. It's illegal to dump bachelors in a.

Speaker 3 (51:42):
Public park, and you guys did it. We did it, Yeah,
we did it.

Speaker 4 (51:46):
We kind of like snuck down to the bank and
then like everyone took a turn saying something about Lois
the narcissist, and then Tony the husband was like, what
went up?

Speaker 3 (51:57):
Went back to We went down the embankment to the
lan you know, kind.

Speaker 4 (52:01):
Of like because you don't want to get someone can
report you. It's you know, and then my cousin's a teacher.
You don't want that kind of publicity. We go down
to the embankment to the lake and then my the cousin,
the Tony the husband goes back up and she's like,
what are you doing. He's like, I don't want that
ash in my face. You know, that's the type of
guy he is. I don't want that ash in my face.

(52:22):
He by the way, she hated him, right because she
saw the type of person he is.

Speaker 1 (52:28):
Yeah, So we all went around.

Speaker 4 (52:30):
You know, we dumped the a by the way you
dump it, you dumped in the lake. We dumped it
in a little corner. Wasn't a lot of currents.

Speaker 3 (52:36):
It just sits there. He turns, it turns muddy.

Speaker 4 (52:38):
Yeah, And I kind of because in my mind, I'm like, oh,
that's her.

Speaker 3 (52:43):
I'm hey.

Speaker 4 (52:44):
I wasn't trying to be funny, but when you see
someone's ashes, you're like, oh my god.

Speaker 1 (52:48):
You know, it's funny because in the movies it looks
so almost romantic. They got the nice music playing. You're
throwing it in the ocean or whatever, and.

Speaker 4 (52:57):
It just clumped together in the water. And I was
waiting for fish to come up and eat it.

Speaker 1 (53:01):
So you live a uh, you know, maybe she lived
a wonderful life. Whatever, You live a wonderful life. And
then you know your family is dumping your ashes and
you just turn into mud on the side of the
and then so it's just gonna step on it and
take your aunt home with.

Speaker 4 (53:20):
Them, and the whole time, the fucking hug was like,
don't tip the mud.

Speaker 1 (53:27):
Don't tip the mud.

Speaker 3 (53:30):
Until he's got a new tesla. So he's like, don't
track it in the mood.

Speaker 4 (53:33):
You know this guy, he's a selfish, materialistic All he
cares about is his material possessions.

Speaker 3 (53:41):
You don't care about people. That sucks totally. You deserve better.

Speaker 1 (53:46):
That's yeah, that's that's that's the whole That too bad.

Speaker 4 (53:50):
So before we dumped the ashes, we all tell we all,
we all.

Speaker 3 (53:52):
Said something about the narcissist.

Speaker 4 (53:54):
So I told the story when she beat me with
a wooden spoon, when I was in the shower and naked, kid,
she beat me with a wooden spoon.

Speaker 1 (54:02):
Wait wait, so before you threw the ashes, you all
told had a cute little memory went around.

Speaker 3 (54:08):
Of course, the husband was up the hill. He didn't he.

Speaker 1 (54:13):
Doesn't want the dust in his face. Then you're going
around a circle with the memories of the narcissistic dad
who dunk Asadena on Thanksgiving. So you got that memory
in your heads, and your loving memory was the time
she beats you in the shower with the wooden spoon.

Speaker 3 (54:28):
We all think it's hilarious. It is.

Speaker 4 (54:31):
I was a little kid and she had just made
herself a toasted bagel with cream cheese.

Speaker 3 (54:37):
Yeah, and I decided to eat it all. And I
left her a little piece, you know, because I'm considerate.
And then I went took a.

Speaker 1 (54:45):
Shower a piece of what a piece of the bagel?

Speaker 4 (54:48):
She had a toasted bagel with cream cheese, and I
ate it all. I left her like a sliver.

Speaker 3 (54:53):
It wasn't mine.

Speaker 4 (54:55):
And then I went to a shower. I don't know,
I mean, what am I fucking know, seven years old?
Nine years old?

Speaker 3 (55:02):
I don't know. Maybe I'm like around seven, right. And
she went wild because she fucking opens up.

Speaker 4 (55:12):
She opened up the curtain like wild eyed and had
this wooden spoon.

Speaker 3 (55:16):
You mother, fuck up, you ain't my bag Yeah yeah, yeah.

Speaker 4 (55:23):
We All we did was laugh about it, so like
she'd hurt me. I mean, she's like she looks like
the psychic and poltergeist, literally fat and around like my
father beating me with a wooden spoon because I ate
her bagel and creamchees.

Speaker 3 (55:36):
That's the story I.

Speaker 1 (55:37):
Told that creepy.

Speaker 3 (55:39):
Creepy you also.

Speaker 4 (55:40):
Taught us how to pick seeds out of the out
of the her flowers because she used to sell it.
And also I talked about how she she's the first
person to introduce me to African men. She used to
take because as kids, you know, we would waiting.

Speaker 1 (56:00):
Are you admitting something here? Today?

Speaker 4 (56:02):
On the Lives she would take fucking African men home
from the clubs and like all of a sudden in
the morning, just be like this fucking big Kuta Kinta
walking through the kitchen with a heavy accent.

Speaker 3 (56:16):
You know, I can't you know, like like, uh what what?
What's that? Rwanda? No? Was it?

Speaker 1 (56:23):
Was it? Lamar? Was his name? Lamar?

Speaker 3 (56:27):
He did look like he was married to a cadas ship.

Speaker 4 (56:29):
Yeah, so in the morning you would see like these
fucking African men.

Speaker 1 (56:36):
Were they like in the what was the movie? The
Animal House? Do you mind if we dance with your dates?
Was it like that.

Speaker 4 (56:47):
Where the white women at where? Do you liked them?

Speaker 1 (56:50):
Doc? All right? Well, wow, Ron, that's a that's a
hell of a story. My god, let's uh, I say
we start wrapping up this is this is a good
welcome back live stream, that's for sure.

Speaker 4 (57:03):
Yeah, it's unfortunate, and I think Tovea is my cousin
has borre me that I'm not going to come back up.

Speaker 3 (57:08):
I have no I told her I'm going to come
back up.

Speaker 4 (57:12):
But I told her the gloves are off. Now I
hold him back. If I see him, you know, laying
into you, I'm I'm, I'm, I'm I'm gonna inject myself.

Speaker 3 (57:22):
You're lazy to me, I'm going to inject myself. Do
you really want me to come up?

Speaker 1 (57:27):
That sounds like it's horrible. It's were you guys watching
any like holiday movies or anything? Was there any good
moments with everybody? Like did you please?

Speaker 3 (57:38):
A Superman movie? It wasn't bad, okay?

Speaker 4 (57:41):
And then and then I got them hooked on a
television series show. So they were talking about how they
loved the show It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia.

Speaker 1 (57:51):
It started started watching it again from season one myself,
but go ahead.

Speaker 3 (57:56):
So the girl who stars in it, Yeah.

Speaker 4 (58:00):
She's in a new Hold on Sneeze. She's in a
new television series.

Speaker 5 (58:05):
Right.

Speaker 1 (58:07):
She plays like a what like a heavy like a detective,
and she's not even really funny in it.

Speaker 3 (58:13):
It's a great show. It's called Special Person something.

Speaker 4 (58:22):
She has an IQ of like one hundred and sixty three.
You's the premise of the show. She's a single mother
with two children. She has an IQ of one hundred
and sixty three. She's they're actually people like they're called
like hyperhumans or something hyper sensitive humans, right, and they're

(58:45):
like super intelligent and they can walk into a room
and know where everything whatever. So she's the cleaning lady
at the police station and she accidentally knocks over a
case file that they're currently working on, and there's the
board with like who did it, blah blah blah.

Speaker 3 (59:04):
So she's looking at she's trying to pick up the files.
So she's looking at it and realizes they got the.

Speaker 4 (59:09):
Whole case wrong. She crosses this off. He goes, no,
this is your victim and this is the murderer. They
come in the next day and the detective goes, what
the fuck, who's tampering with crime investigation?

Speaker 3 (59:24):
This is actually a felony. Get the fucking cameras. I
want to know. This ain't a joke.

Speaker 4 (59:29):
They realize it's her, They go arrest her, and then
and then they say why do you do it?

Speaker 3 (59:33):
She goes, because when I see your problem, I fix it.

Speaker 4 (59:35):
It's I'm a hypercenter blah blah blah, and she says, no,
you got it wrong, and then one thing led to
another to the point where she's solving the cases for them.
It's really good and she's a powerhouse and it's funny.

Speaker 1 (59:51):
I saw like one episode of it. Did you watch
it a little bit?

Speaker 4 (59:56):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (59:56):
I got to dip back in. I didn't even I
didn't even know that was the backstory of the show.

Speaker 4 (01:00:00):
It's just my family got hooked because they love it's
always sunny Philadelphia.

Speaker 3 (01:00:04):
But she's so good in it.

Speaker 4 (01:00:06):
She's funny, she's funny. It's a great it's a great premise.

Speaker 1 (01:00:10):
So I'm watching a show that's very similar to that
where they solve murders. Finally, I finally dipped into this
Murders in the Building with Martin Short, Steve Martin and
Selene Gomez. Huh h are you watching this thing?

Speaker 3 (01:00:24):
No, my roommate watches it.

Speaker 1 (01:00:27):
It's pretty fucking good. And my takeaway from Murders in
the Building is that Selena Gomez she's got uh, she's
got boobies that hang a little, got boobies she's got
she's got big torpedoes that hang a little.

Speaker 3 (01:00:45):
So isn't it season or in New York.

Speaker 1 (01:00:47):
Dude, I'm way behind. We just finished season three with
uh uh Merle Streep. This Merle Streep. Don't even say
she's one of our greatest female actors of old times.
She's one one of our greatest actors of all time.
She's in Murders in the Building. Soon as she pops
on the TV. You like, these people that are acting

(01:01:08):
with her and Murders in the Building, they're way out
of their fucking league. Selena Gormez is doing lines with
Merle Streep, and you could just see the difference between uh,
the two actresses. But she's she was amazing in season three.

Speaker 3 (01:01:23):
Oh my god.

Speaker 4 (01:01:24):
And by the way, I'm glad you make that distinction
between male and female actors.

Speaker 3 (01:01:29):
There's there's By the way, you don't.

Speaker 4 (01:01:31):
Call a female actor an actress, it's just that you're
an actor.

Speaker 1 (01:01:35):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:01:36):
And as an actor, she's a fucking powerhouse.

Speaker 4 (01:01:40):
I mean she's gonna work, that's I mean, does she
does she have the record for most Oscars or Oscar nominations.

Speaker 1 (01:01:48):
I don't pay attention to the Oscar shit.

Speaker 3 (01:01:51):
I have a Selena Gomez story.

Speaker 1 (01:01:53):
You do. Yeah, let's say I'm with a Selena Gomez.

Speaker 3 (01:01:55):
Okay, here's a Selena Gomez story.

Speaker 1 (01:01:57):
I'm still in season one of Murders in the Bill
because some people say it might be because of the medication
she's on. She has his voice that's very Mono town
and she's supposed to be young and fun and funny,
but she talks like this the entire show. Hot. She's hot,
but she's but But some people say it's because of

(01:02:19):
possibly some of the medication she's on efect.

Speaker 3 (01:02:23):
She talks she has a serious medical condition.

Speaker 1 (01:02:27):
I know, but by season three she was talking way
more normal. But in season I can't, I couldn't get
past us. Lena gome as talking. We got a murder
in the Building.

Speaker 3 (01:02:38):
She's kind of like Jessica Simpson.

Speaker 4 (01:02:43):
She's an incredibly or Jessica Albert. Actually she's incredible. She's
an incredible business woman. I think she's worth a billion. Well,
she through her there were businesses.

Speaker 1 (01:02:56):
It's her show, Murder in the Building exactly.

Speaker 3 (01:02:59):
Well, she's the executive producer. This was her creation.

Speaker 1 (01:03:03):
She's the executive producer with Steve Martin and Martin Short.
Martin Short has a line in this show. Oh, I
gotta remember the exact line because I don't want to
wreck it. Martin Short is a mate. Why was it
Martin Short way more famous than he was? I know
he had I know he had the Three Amigos, and
he had the click character and all. But this guy

(01:03:25):
should have been in a million fucking comedies as the lead.

Speaker 3 (01:03:28):
He is my.

Speaker 1 (01:03:31):
Just walking onto the set in this stupid show.

Speaker 4 (01:03:33):
He's hilarious, my favorite, my favorite short movie.

Speaker 3 (01:03:39):
And maybe because it's my name's in it? Right all right?

Speaker 1 (01:03:48):
Uh tell you Selena Gomez story. I am listening, but
I'm trying to find this one line from Merson the building,
and I don't know if I'll be able to find it,
but go ahead.

Speaker 3 (01:03:59):
I'm working.

Speaker 4 (01:04:00):
I'm still working at Peach Tavern before uh, I had
the incident in the bathroom.

Speaker 1 (01:04:06):
Right right right, and.

Speaker 4 (01:04:10):
Before anything happens, And I knew he was Israeli because
I used to live in Israel and I speak Hebrew.
This fucking Israeli guy comes in and you can tell like, oh,
this guy's like he can handle himself. He's the head
of security his Israeli There's one Israeli guy, one white

(01:04:31):
Israeli guy. He comes in with another guy and they
scope the place out and then he goes he has
to speak to the manager and he's like, listen, we're
bringing in Selena Gomez and the weekend. They were dating
at the time, right, they scope out the place. So
the head of security for Selena gomeanz it could have
been for the weekend.

Speaker 3 (01:04:50):
I don't know. He's I think the weekends even bigger
than her. Dude, the WEEKND is huge.

Speaker 1 (01:04:54):
He's th Selena Gomez.

Speaker 4 (01:04:56):
You think you think so as a recurt he's a massive,
He's a he's a recording star and I think he
has the number one song out now.

Speaker 3 (01:05:05):
Anyways, I don't know.

Speaker 4 (01:05:08):
So now the head of security who's Israeli probably special forces.
All of a sudden, before Selena Gomez and the wee
can come in, three giant and when I say giant,
three giant black men come in and they say, okay,
well they're gonna they make a perimeter. At the book,

(01:05:30):
they're sitting across from the bar in the booth that
O Henry wrote the Gift of the Magi in.

Speaker 3 (01:05:35):
They're sitting in that booth.

Speaker 4 (01:05:37):
So there's a booth of Peach Tarvern that's very famous,
booth number three where O Henry wrote Gift of the Magi,
which is a very famous Christmas story, and he also
wrote bag Chrift of the Magic that has a very
favorite Chrisper. So anyways, they do the perimeter of the
booth and then all of a sudden, Selena Gomez and
the Wee can come in and they're having they drank

(01:05:59):
Shirley Temples.

Speaker 3 (01:06:01):
They had burgers, and then the weekend goes.

Speaker 4 (01:06:05):
The weekend has his personal security guard go to the
manager and go, hey, listen, where's the bathroom. I need
to check out the bathroom for us. So they take
him downstairs to the public bathroom. He goes, this ain't
going to work for us. I need a private.

Speaker 1 (01:06:22):
Bathroom for you, Oh my god.

Speaker 4 (01:06:23):
And they're like, well, there's there's also the speakeasy room
upstairs where there's another dining room upstairs that has its
own woman bar, and then there's bathrooms upstairs that's where
like Johnny Depp and Keith are Suthern do their Christmas parties.
So he goes, no, that ain't gonna work for him.
He needs a private bathroom of his own. So they
take him upstairs to the to the bathroom upstairs.

Speaker 3 (01:06:47):
The bathroom I was in.

Speaker 1 (01:06:50):
If you know, by the way, if you know the
the waiters story, Oh my.

Speaker 3 (01:06:54):
God, the other thing we both have in common. We
both did. We both did.

Speaker 1 (01:07:00):
Okay, okay, okay.

Speaker 3 (01:07:01):
So he goes upstairs.

Speaker 4 (01:07:04):
I'm not joking, dude, almost a half hour, almost a
half hour, and the fucking.

Speaker 3 (01:07:09):
Giant black guys outside the door like this when when
the weekend went up, the went up the stairs of
the bathroom. He didn't have a hat on, and he
didn't have glasses on.

Speaker 4 (01:07:20):
Right when he finally came down, he was coming down
the stairs going like this, he was he all of
a sudden, you had a hat on, he had giant
black glasses. And then you hear while he's coming downstairs.
They didn't say the weekend.

They're like the subjects cut, the subject leaving, now, the
subject leaving. They didn't say subject, but they they didn't
say the weekend.

Speaker 4 (01:07:47):
But he's coming now, he's coming now, get ready, he's

I don't know whether they were fucking pulls up and
fucking the weekend's coming down the stairs. Then they are
sure Selena Gomez out of the booth. The Weekend comes

(01:08:08):
back into the bar and they open up the side doors,
which knowing that they asked to open up the side doors, right,
and they pulled that black serv right up to the
side door, opened up the fucking doors and said, hold on,
hold on, wait, it's not so I hear them say

don't have it that bad?

people that go through shit in life. You realize that,
you know, people have it way worse than you. I
had a I'm not gonna sugarcoat. I had a tough
upbringing with my mom. She meant well, she tried the hardest.
I know, she loved us, but uh, this dark cloud
that followed her everywhere she went, it just sucked her

(01:15:07):
in unfortunately. But after hearing your cousin's story, I'm going
to turn this off going you know what, that fucking
helped a bit, and sadly, you.

Speaker 3 (01:15:16):
Know, it just sucks.

Speaker 4 (01:15:17):
Like you know, you you go to your family and
you want to be embraced with love and support, right
