It's something like that, yeah.
Okay.

Yeah.
I use that one.
(01:03):
I also use several apps for theweather, and then I just pick
whichever one I like theforecast the best.
So today's,'cause I have it onthe Sweary.
Mm-hmm.
Side of it, it says cloudyeffing.
Full poop, but it's the realwords.
I that, that's a funny one.
Especially in the summer whenit's so freaking hot.
That one's hilarious to listento.
(01:24):
Yeah, I have like three weather.
And I just bounce around.
But I do have a regular weatherapp, but you can do the hour by
hour or whatever.
That's not fun.
No, it does not give me like mysweary sarcasm that you enjoy so
much.
Yes.
Mm-hmm.
I need a little bit of fun in mylife.
Of course, I get it from myweather app.
We are so old, old and boring.
(01:48):
Well, speaking of old, Dylanwent through all of his clothes
and stuff mm-hmm.
And he was gonna get rid of hisBiggie shirt.
So I took it.
I was gonna compliment you on, Ifeel like I always tell you how
cute you look and I'm like,she's gonna think I'm really
obsessed with her.
And I I am obsessed with you.
But, but it's cute the way youhave it.
Like you have a little It tied.
I, yeah.
So I went to Pinterest.
Yeah, of course.
'cause Dylan, I mean, his.
(02:08):
Clothes are, yeah.
Huge on me.
If you cut a strip up the back.
Mm-hmm.
And then you can tie it so it'snot That's what you did.
Yeah.
Okay.
Because I've seen him too, whereyou take like a rubber band.
Yeah.
And you do that too.
You just like cut like a sliceup the middle and then you can
use those two pieces to makewill not.
Well, adorable.
I love it.
And then how's he gonna get ridof that?
He doesn't fit him anymore.
Oh yeah.
(02:28):
It's like, makes sense.
Well, what am I gonna do withit?
Like, I'm like busting out of itMom.
Because I was like, that'sbiggie, right?
It's like sacrilegious.
You can't do that.
and you've made it a littlefeminine there.
I cut the, the, the collar offand I cut the sleeves so they
weren't like down to like pastmy elbows.
It looks adorable.
Thank you.
You're welcome.
Yeah, you're welcome.
(02:49):
Yeah.
Jackson shirts.
We had to just recently convincehim that he's not a large
anymore.
Mm-hmm.
Yes.
That took a lot of convincing.
Yeah.
well, Dylan had all these liketons and tons.
Mm-hmm.
He doesn't put anything away.
Of course not.
And I'm just like, re washingthese clothes and I'm like,
there has not been enough time.
Mm-hmm.
In between washing clothesmm-hmm.
(03:10):
For all these clothes to beworn.
Mm-hmm.
So why don't we go through yourclothes and just keep the ones
that you're actually wearing?
Right?
Right.
Because Jay will do the samething where its the same thing
over and over again, but thenhe's got a closet full of
clothes and I'm like, if youdon't like these or you're not
gonna wear them, you need totell me.
Yeah.
Because I go up there and Ithink he's got a closet full of
clothes.
We're good.
But no, but I am proud of Jay.
(03:32):
Because he's now not onlywearing black, he has started
wearing some off white, what isit with the all black.
Does Dylan wear all black?
He used to, he went through thatface.
Oh my gosh.
Then he went through like asuper bright color face uhhuh,
and I think it really goes withthe seasons too.
'cause like in the winter, fall,yeah, it goes like darker.
(03:54):
Well, that makes sense.
But I feel like it's been likefor years that Jackson was worn
out.
No, Dylan goes, definitely goesthrough phases of like, what
does he, and I'm so envious ofJackson because his skin tone
and his eyes are so, his eyesare so blue, his skin is so
pretty.
Like he can do colors I can'tdo.
Mm-hmm.
And he's like, I just wanna wearblack.
And I'm like, oh my gosh.
Oh, you care about like, whatlooks, I, I don't, I just buy
(04:16):
it.
Yeah.
I do care about it.
I do care.
I don't know why I, I, nah, youjust wing it.
I'm like, oh, that's cute.
Well, hopefully this works.
'cause I don't like trying onclothes the store.
Oh, I don't either.
I'm the queen of returns.
I just the best.
Yeah.
Or buyer's remorse wants that.
But I, listen, I don't evenreally hardly ever go to a
(04:37):
store.
Everything's online Of course.
And I can just like Yeah.
Ship it back.
Exactly.
Exactly.
But I, yeah, I'm.
Try to look.
I got so little going for mecolors I cannot control.
So if I can find colors thatwork compared to fit or
whatever, I can do that.
But anyway, yeah, Jackson's gotthis comp, like he wore pink
(04:58):
really well and black.
Yeah, that's a boy thing Ithink.
I think so.
But I do love that.

Trying to lock into that.
Nice.

Cool.
Yeah.
well, did you hear about thelady that locked her boyfriend
in the, storage unit?
No.
On purpose.
He was stuck in there for fourdays, but he had his cell phone.
(16:01):
This is what I don't understand.
Okay, so this is from a, b, Cnews, right.
Uhhuh.
And she's arrested and in jailright now for attempted murder.
Mm-hmm.
So I'm gonna read you what wason the A BC News Channel
website.
Okay.
It says, A North Carolina womanis charged with attempted murder
after allegedly locking herboyfriend in a storage unit
where he was stuck for severaldays with no food or water
(16:23):
before being rescued by police.
Robin Deaton, 52 of Matthews wasarrest.
I know it's close.
I know of Matthews was arrestedon attempted murder and
kidnapping charges.
The Monroe Police Departmentsaid that she was booked into
jail early Thursday after amanhunt by police.
Do you know her?
I used to live in Monroe.
(16:43):
I know, but you know the lady?
No.
Okay.
I mean, I might, I don't know ifthat's her married name.
I don't know.
The boyfriend, Gary is sayingthat all charges should be
dropped and it was all amisunderstanding.
She did not lure me into theback of the unit or nothing.
All this is just a bunch of bullcrap.
Oxid Dean said, I guess it's,uh, his last name.
Mm-hmm.
They need to get their stuffright.
It's just a bunch of boguscharges.
(17:03):
I mean, she shouldn't be upthere charged with attempted
murder and attempted kidnapping.
He told W's SOC, that the courseof events did start the way
police claimed.
Oxide said he and Deaton were atthe Cooper Storage Unit in
Monroe on February 20th.
He said that at some pointDeaton left to go get food for
the couple, and while she wasgone, he fell asleep in the
unit.
(17:24):
When she got back, she yelled,but he didn't hear her because
he was asleep and she leftlocked the unit assuming he was
no longer there.
'cause he fell asleep in theback of the unit somewhere.
I think it's a unit.
'cause I mean any storage.
I mean I felt like 10 by 10 or10 by like, I mean you, you
would think, right?
I don't know.
Hello?
(17:44):
Look around.
She thought I had gone with anex-girlfriend, so this is where
the drama comes in.
Okay.
That's what it all boils downto, and I hadn't, she said that
she came the next day, but Isleep hard and I fell asleep and
I had been up working for acouple of days.
So he said that she came backand he still slept through her.
Where are you?
INE said that he called himslept or passed out from lack of
(18:06):
nutrition, or was he onsomething?
Read that too.
No, INE said he called emergencyservices instead of it.
Okay, so he had his cell phone,right.
Uhhuh.
He was in there for four daysand he didn't call until day
four.
He didn't call anybody else.
Yeah, I got it.
Okay.
So he said that he had noservice in the unit and the
only, that was the only callthat would go through laws.
(18:27):
Why wait four days?
No idea.
And you had your cell phone?
So I did a quick search on thebook of face to see if, because
I do know some ox and downs andlike I said, I lived in Monroe,
didn't grow up far from there.
I don't know him or her, but sheThat doesn't, that she's got
some filters.
Oh yeah.

evidence to support chargescharging DN with kidnapping and
attempted murder.

the door shut and locked him inthere.
That's what he told the policewhen they, okay.

Robin, we've all been there.
We know you're really pissed.
So the first time I heard thisright, I heard this on, I don't
know, whatever, TikTok orsomething.
Mm-hmm.
The day it happened.
Mm-hmm.
They found him where he calledinto the police and mm-hmm.
My first thought was like, well,what did he do?
Yes.
That's what I like.
We know girl, we know he didsomething.
Did he mention the ex?
(21:16):
And you know that they're gonnatry to get the least amount of
women on that jury?
Oh yeah.
Oh yeah.
Like not guilty.
Yeah, I volunteer.
I'll be on the jury.
Drop all charges.
Yeah.
Oh my gosh.
Yeah.
So I'm just saying that is,that's a crazy story, right?
I wanna know so many details.
(21:37):
And did his phone not die?
That's what I'm saying, like howlike he had a phone in there to
call police on day four, butmine wouldn't make it one day.
Mine either, but I'm justthinking, yeah, he's got an
Android maybe.
Maybe.
But you had a phone this wholetime, but the only call that
(21:59):
would go through was 9 1 1 andyou had it this whole time.
Come on.
He had to have been on somethingI'm saying maybe like he had,
I'm just making up stories nowof that's what we do.
Totally.
A legend.
Yeah.
Do not hold me to this, butmaybe he was on something and
attacked her and she like, ohyeah, maybe self-defense.
(22:21):
Robin, here's your, yeah, thereyou go.
Your reasonable doubt.
I got you girl.
You know, we should give outlegal advice.
No, I'm just kidding.
No, nobody asks us for any kindof legal or medical.
No, I mean, okay.
What's the most used medicaladvice you give Dylan?
(22:42):
Like, put ice on it.
Suck it up buttercup.
Well, that too rubs some dirt init.
Yeah.
Some ibuprofen.
Yeah, that, that's me.
That's me.
Drink some water.
Do you?
Oh, is that it?
Yeah.
Well, he's like, mom, like I'vebeen having like a real bad
headache.
Sometimes if I'm working out,mm-hmm.
Are you drinking water?
Yeah.
And he's like, not really.
And I'm like, drink water.
(23:03):
Yeah.
It's probably dehydration.
Right?
That's, see, that's greatadvice.
This is what I'm saying.
And he drank water and I haven'theard a complaint yet.
I mean, you could be a doctor.
I should, I also tell Jackson tostretch a lot.
Like make sure you stretch.
Yeah, like stretch out.
I don't know why we are sittinghere doing this when we can be,
because this is fun.
(23:23):
That's why we're here doingthis.
You're drinking water so youdon't get a headache now, aren't
you?
Yes.
Yes I am.
Well, I've got our Doge updates.
Oh God.
There's been so much going onlately.
I know.
I am ready.
Okay., 120,000 to find out whyprisoners want to get outta
jail.
(23:46):
I better like use of that moneywould be to find out why some
prisoners want to stay in jail.
I think we could probably figurethat answer out too.
All right.
700,000.
To find out the exact phraseNeil Armstrong said when he
walked on the moon, was it onesmall step for man or was it one
small step for a man and theynever actually figured it out?
(24:09):
How are you going to figure itout?
So that's, that's$700,000 thatwent to that, and they had no
resolution to it.
Wasn't it recorded?
Like did it, wasn't ittelevised?
It was.
So why can't they figure it out?
I don't even want to go downthis because Brian says that we
haven't even walked on the moon.
I heard that as well.
(24:30):
And now I heard that there's onesomebody up there now and
they're gonna collect moon rocksor something, I don't know.
Um,$103,000 to find out ifSunfish get more aggressive if
you give them gin or tequila.
I got nothing.
Like I What do you think wouldbe, I think tequila would make
it more aggressive.
(24:50):
Oh yeah.
Gin's just like gonna chill'emout.
That's when they go to the, welleither gin and juice or that's
when they're at the uh,speakeasy.
They might have some gin.
I heard there's a speakeasy inCharlotte there.
It's speaking of things inCharlotte.
Should I apply for that job?
I am not kidding.
Like I think you would befreaking awesome.
Ah.
(25:11):
I might do it.
I might do it.
I think you would be an awesomequeen.
Well, thanks.
So what we're talking about, Ihad tagged so the girl that runs
that business mm-hmm.
Her mom lives my neighborhood.
Okay.
And her mom had shared the job,opportunity.
Okay.
So she does tours, like bustours mm-hmm.
that are themed.
And this one's themed onBridgeton.
And my immediate first thoughtwas Meredith.
(25:32):
I think I could pull it off.
I think so too.
And you get to write the scriptwith them, of, yeah.
Of the tour, of the differentlandmarks.
Yeah.
So I tagged Meredith in thismm-hmm.
This posting, because I'm like,dude, this is like your calling.
This is it.
This is what I've beenpracticing all these terrible
accents for.
So it's only, it's a Friday,Saturday, Sunday gig.
(25:53):
Yeah.
For the tours.
Yeah.
And.
But I think it would be so muchfun.
Those tours are two hours long.
Mm-hmm.
But even just to go on the touritself, I think it would be
cool.
Oh yeah.
And then I told you that I coulddo the wait staff because you
get to test the food.
Yeah.
Because they want you to be ableto tell the, the people what the
all, all the things taste like.
We totally should.
(26:14):
And like, you know, the waitstaff would have to be
knowledgeable about likeallergies, and I'm very well
versed in food allergies rightup your alley too.
So I just thought it would besuch a cool thing for you.
Well, I come in, you need towear the the queen dress.
See?
And they give you a crown.
I could bring my own.
It is.
It is your calling.
(26:35):
Well, when you first tagged mein it, I was like, well, I don't
know if I could be queen, but Ithink you would be a good queen.
I don't think I would be a goodqueen because I felt like you
have the, you could, you'revery, you could look very
haughty.
Very, yeah, very elegant, verymindful, very dmu.
I am none of those things.
Same.
So how is this to be a queen?
My hot bus?
(26:58):
My accents are not it.
Like I can't do an accent.
You.
Okay, I'll, that's your forte.
I'll put in my, I'll put in myapplication.
What kind of apple, what are myreferences and I don't know, but
we can as chat, GPT.
Okay.
Yeah.
I watch a lot of bridger.
Yes.
I watch a lot of bridger.
(27:19):
You can send in a voice.
That's a good idea of readingthe script.
We can write a script for you,Uhhuh.
And it says you, if you'resnarky, it's even better.
I mean, I would need your helpwith that.
Yeah.
Because sometimes I'm not superquick.
Okay.
Okay.
I can dress up and be the personat Earpieces.
(27:39):
Yeah.
Yes.
And I'll use the accent.
Yeah, I need you to gimme somesnarks as you're being the wait
staff.
So as you're serving thesepeople, you say something about
Wanka, they're like, listen,bro.
Right.
Well, there was a lady thatcommented on it, like Meredith,
(27:59):
I put in a good word.
That's one of the ladies that Idog sit for.
Oh, okay.
So I'm not sure the connectionthere, but I was like.
The Lord wants me to do this.
I'm saying if there was ever asign for you to be a queen, that
was it.
Okay.
I'll think about it.
Seriously, I think it'd be afun, fun thing to do.
I too, I mean, what else do Ihave to do on Friday and
(28:20):
Saturday?
Like acting long.
Yes.
Yes.
Absolutely.
I didn't mean to interrupt yourNo, I, okay.
I am.
That was way more important thanthe, the Doge updates.
Listen.
It.
I saw it and it was like lightbulb.
It was 100% and it wasn't theonly one that thought it, so.
Okay.
We'll see.
I'll let you guys know.
(28:41):
Back to back to the, yeah,sorry.
Okay, so we just got done withthe Sunfish.
Mm-hmm.
Are they becoming alcoholics?
1.4 million in contracts tophysically observe mailing and
clerical operations in theDepartment of Education.
So they're just observing.
They're just sitting therechilling, watching people work.
Yeah.
department of Education, 3million to create a report to
(29:03):
show that prior reports were notutilized in the school system.
So Brandon would always laughabout this, right in corporate
is they have meetings aboutmeetings.
They have to eliminate meetings.
Yeah.
Oh, it's ridiculous.
It's ridiculous.
And sometimes.
My schedule is so insanely crazywith meetings that it's like,
well, I'll, I'll throw you on acc, come as you can.
(29:24):
I'm like, yeah, I can't get mywork done because I'm attending
these meetings.
So I've just started not goingto a lot of them.
4.6 million in the Department ofEducation to coordinate Zoom and
in-person meetings,$4.6 million.
Yeah.
43.
I mean, our teachers get paidnothing.
Um, right.
(29:45):
And, but you know, right.
We have, well, okay, so myquestion is, what is that money
being, so is that the salary ofpeople that are coordinating or
Right.
I know.
We don't know, but it's justlike it went in somebody's
pocket.
Oh yeah.
I know.
I forgot that.
I forgot.
That's really what's going on.,43 million on a gas station in
Afghanistan that had nocustomers.
(30:05):
Tess is ridiculous.
$20,600 for a drag show inEcuador.
$446,700 to promote atheism inNepal, and 1.7 million for a
retirement study in China.
I've got nothing.
I've got nothing either.
But there we are.
(30:27):
Um, so I don't know if this hasbeen put into effect or not, but
supposedly President Trump wasgoing to sign an executive order
to make English the primarylanguage.
Did you hear that?
I thought it was, it, it is not.
I remember learning a schoolthat it's not, what is it?
We don't have one.
Oh.
But I saw this post that wasreally funny is that, you know,
(30:47):
46% of you guys don't know thedifference in there, there and
there it is stupid that we haveall these words that are the
same words spelled mm-hmm.
A bunch of different ways.
Yeah.
But, or the same or differentwords spelled the same way.
Yeah.
Like red and red.
Yeah.
And polish.
And polish.
Yeah.
I could go on and on, but I'llstop.
And yeah.
(31:07):
And I'm not horrible at languagearts.
Mm-hmm.
It was like my better Right.
School, right subject.
Right.
But with Dylan having dyslexia.
Oh yeah.
It was a trip.
Realizing how Yeah.
Absurd some of this stuff is.
So, yeah, our English languageis weird.
It is very weird.
Okay.
And I said that I can't I said Ican't learn a second language.
(31:29):
Mm-hmm.
Like, my brain just doesn'tabsorb it.
And I did download the Babel appbecause there was a, a lifetime
membership Oh.
for like$125 or something.
Okay.
And so I was like, well, I'mjust gonna download it.
So it's great.
And I got through like the firstlesson, but I keep having to go
back because I'm afraid that I'mnot, like, once we move on, I'm
(31:50):
not gonna forget the firstlesson.
So I'm like, I, I've been on thefirst lesson forever and I've
already finished it, but I'mlike, I'm gonna forget it.
And then it's just like thisvicious cycle.
And.
How long did it take you to doone lesson?
Not long.
I mean, I mean, like an hour ortwo days.
I mean, I, I just have it setfor like 10 minutes a day or 15
minutes a day or whatever it is.
So I can finish.
(32:10):
Are you doing Spanish or whatlanguage?
Spanish, yeah.
And then if I don't do it forlike a day or two, I forget it
all.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah.
So I was gonna say like, youneed to set yourself a time or a
reminder in your calendar.
I know.
Block your time and do like 10minutes and then you can do
maybe like a recap.
Yeah.
And, and, and keep building onit.
I know.
It's just, I have such a badmemory.
(32:32):
That's neat though.
I've always wanted to try that.
Boy a lifetime for 1 25 is good.
Yeah.
'cause like, just like for theannual thing, it was like 80 or
something like that.
Mm-hmm.
Yeah.
And it's got, I don't know, like15 or 20 different languages.
Not that.
I can't even get the second.
Yeah.
Right.
No, we're, we're still stuck on,the second I struggle, so
(32:52):
Jackson is doing Spanish rightnow.
Okay.
He did Spanish and middleschool, but I mean, no, it was
middle school, Spanish, don'tget me wrong.
It was just whatever.
So he seems to be doing well.
His grades fine.
So we were watching a movie theother night called McFarland,
USA.
Mm-hmm.
And it takes place in Californiawith a lot of, hispanic people
and Jackson was like, I cantranslate for you.
(33:13):
And I was like, okay babe.
And the coach's name was CoachWhite and they were calling him
Blanco, and he was like, thatmeans white.
I was like, I got it.
Like I read the crayon.
He said, Blanco.
Right, right.
We know that one, right?
We got that one.
We got that one.
Well, yeah, it's, it's, I don'tknow.
It's going very slow.
Yeah, but, well, I think youdon't have enough confidence in
(33:35):
yourself.
Confide, they go so slow.
I think.
Spanish people speak really fastbecause that's their language
and they can understand eachother.
I'm gonna be there to be likeslow.
I need to learn the word forslow.
Opposite of Onlay?
No.
Onlay.
Onlay.
I actually caught, Nicole Eatonon a live today with another,
(33:58):
person on Instagram.
Mm-hmm.
And she had said that.
She's very type B if it's not infront of her.
Mm-hmm.
It's like outta sight, outtamind.
Mm-hmm.
You know?
Yeah.
Yeah.
If I don't have it and I do likea paper, like something uhhuh to
write on mm-hmm.
I got like, the electroniccalendars and stuff just don't
work for me.
Yeah.
So she said that she's beendoing a bullet journal.
(34:20):
Mm-hmm.
And it's like, well that's agood idea.
So, today I pulled out one of mynotebooks.
Yeah.
And so we have like the monthly.
So I can check off the box forevery day and then a daily one.
Nice.
So we will see how that worksout.
Okay.
If it keeps me on track.
Oh, you're just throwingconfetti over here.
Um, celebrating.
(34:41):
I, I like both.
I can do a paper or I likehaving it.
On my phone, I just, it ev yougot that with you, right?
Like that's the plus side.
As long as I can check thingsoff though, like, as long as I
can.
But I then download a new appcalled Structured and it's
supposed to help me remember todo my tasks, like to drink
(35:03):
water, to, take my medicine, todrink water, to do my
moisturizer, what, you know, allthat kind of stuff.
That's not important, but itneeds to be done.
And, I need to change thereminders'cause I'm not getting
any reminders.
So I get to the end of the dayand it's like, okay, it's time
to wind down.
And I'm like, so I need to makeit so I get my alerts.
You have like notifications off?
(35:23):
Yeah, I must, I might, which isso on brand for me, like.
All my notifications are off.
All my ringers are always off.
Like, well, it's because youare, you're always on Do not
disturb always a hundredpercent.
And that it won't give you yournotifications.
That's on Perfect.
Well, but I do have some of mypeople that can get to me.
Anytime you're in, you're in mypeople that can get to me
anytime.
You made the cut.
(35:43):
Mm-hmm.
I love you.
Don't abuse it.
I'll take you right off of thelist.
Okay.
No, but so, but you knowJackson.
Yeah, my close people can get tome.
Everybody else, you'll just haveto wait until I look, until I
decide to look.
But yeah, I'm sure it's, I'msure that's what it is.
Yeah.
Oh, well.
Whoops.
Yep.
(36:04):
Well, I can't wait to hear howthat goes though.
We'll see.
It's today day one.
Yeah.
Okay.
Okay.
I haven't marked anything upyet.
Oh dear.
I just made it like an hourbefore you got here.
Okay.
So that's why.
Yeah.
So, okay.
We'll see how tomorrow goes.
Yeah.
All right.
Cool.
Okay.
You ready for am I the A-hole Iam.
All right, Steph, what have yougiven me?
(36:27):
What am I the a-hole forthinking I was great in bed
until my wife admitted she'sbeen faking it.
So this one hurts.
I 34-year-old male have beenwith my wife, 32 female for
eight years, married for five.
Can I just stop you right here?
Yeah.
She just didn't wanna be mean, Iguess, and like, but then she
(36:47):
got like so caught up in it thatshe couldn't say anything.
Homie, she might have beentrying to tell you and you just
weren't picking up what she wasputting down.
Okay.
I always thought our sex lifewas solid.
She seemed into it.
I put in effort, and honestly, Ithought I was pretty good in
bad.
Then last week we were having adeep conversation about our
relationship.
(37:08):
Oh, don't have those.
There's, there's your solution.
There's where you went wrong.
There's where you went wrong.
We were just talking aboutthings we could improve and out
of nowhere she drops.
What did he say before this?
Mm-hmm.
I should probably tell you, I'venever actually had an O with
(37:28):
you.
I laugh because I legit thoughtshe was joking and she wasn't.
Turns out she's been faking itour entire relationship.
Eight.
Beeping years.
I was stunned.
I asked why she never told meand she said, I didn't wanna
hurt your feelings and that it'snot a big deal.
(37:50):
Not a big deal.
I've been walking aroundthinking I was a sex God.
Well, that's your own fault.
While she was out here givingOscar worthy performances.
I was gonna ask, maybe sheshould be Queen Charlotte, if
she's that good to convince himfor eight years, five years,
eight years.
I don't think it takes muchconvincing for a guy to believe
it.
He is a sex God.
(38:14):
Okay.
I won't lie, I felt like acomplete idiot.
I told her I would have ratherknown sooner so we could, you
know, fix it.
But now I just feel embarrassed,frustrated and kind of betrayed.
I get, she didn't wanna make mefeel bad, but I also feel like
she took away my chance toactually learn and improve.
Dude, you're 34.
You got some time left, bud.
(38:36):
Like, was I that bad that shethought I wasn't even worth it?
So am I the a-hole for beingupset or am I overreacting to
something that apparentlydoesn't matter?
Okay.
So many questions.
Mm-hmm.
I have.
Mm-hmm.
What was the response was, washe the a-hole?
not.
Okay.
I don't think he's an a-hole forbeing upset.
I think that I wanna know whathe was telling her she could
(38:56):
approve on before she threw thisout.
Yeah.
That's a good point.
That's a great point.
I wanna know what was said thatlike this came out right,
because she's been holding thatin for a long time that Yeah, I
am.
There had to have been somethinglaid down that she was like, ha,
that's what I'm think Trump.
Yeah, you're probably right.
(39:17):
And that ended the conversation.
Yeah.
Be she won.
Yeah.
Might literally be the end, Imean.
You're, she, she probably juststarted like, oh, well, it's
just one time.
Like, it's the first time he isnervous.
Whatever.
Maybe it'll get better.
I don't know.
Don't come for us for sex adviceeither, apparently.
(39:38):
I, okay.
So I've got so many questionsfor both of them.
Yeah.
I, I want.
I don't want like detaileddetails, but I like, I need more
than what I, he thought he was asex guide staff.
That right there tells me prettymuch everything I need to know.
I think he's a big douche bag.
Yeah, it sounds like it.
And I, again, Uhhuh said rightbefore this, yeah, because I
feel like he probably saidsomething really, really dumb
(40:02):
right before this.
I understand why he's upset andit's probably very embarrassing
for a man to hear that.
Yeah.
Are they talking about just theactual act or is it like
everything?
Like he has never Yeah.
Brought her ever, ever withanything.
Right.
Like, ha does he not warm up theengine before?
(40:24):
Just start sticking the keys in.
They go for the ride.
Yeah.
Yeah, they didn't really givemany details.
I feel like this was like her.
Gotcha.
Almost not.
Gotcha.
But, okay.
So after eight years mm-hmm.
Like, things can, yeah.
Like that's like, that's likealmost, you know, that's the
(40:44):
kind of the time where you're,everything's kind of going
stagnant a little bit.
Yeah.
And I don't know, but it's been,it had never happened.
Yeah.
It's not like it always hadhappened and then it stopped.
Yeah.
Well, I'm saying if everythingelse is kind of like slowing
down, they're kind of gettinginto this like stagnant mm-hmm.
Area of their relationship.
Mm-hmm.
(41:04):
And she's like, yo, I, you atleast you got to Yeah.
Take the car for the ride andhave fun in the ride.
I didn't even get there likeRight.
I again, was it an aggressiveconversation or was it like a.
Truly heart to heart.
Like I don't see a dude havinglike this heart to heart about
(41:24):
this.
No.
Okay.
They were, uh, this is whathappened.
You're right.
They were arguing aboutsomething else.
Probably something totally.
Or not even arguing, but like,we need to sit down and have a
talk about our finances orwhatever.
You haven't done the dishes.
Yeah.
Is what I'm seeing.
We need to talk about.
It's like head, like he wasfloating, like his head.
Like why?
(41:45):
Yeah.
We need to figure out.
He probably tried to save it.
Like we need to figure out whywe aren't.
I don't say dude doing that atall.
Brian does it.
Does he?
Yeah.
He'll be like, we really need todo better.
I'm like, who is we?
Go ahead and say it, and itusually stops right there.
But yeah, like I could see andthen I would flip and then I
(42:06):
would be like, you know what?
Yeah.
Guess what?
Mofo right.
She took off the gloves.
Yeah.
I think he's trying to play itlike he's this.
Mm-hmm.
I don't know.
I don't believe what he'sputting out there.
I don't think he's the a-hole.
But I think he's the douchecanoe, and I don't think she is
(42:26):
either.
I think she was just, she wastrying to protect him.
Yeah, protect his feelings.
And she really loved him and waslike, okay, well I can handle
that myself.
Like that's not right.
Like my whole right.
Right reason I'm with him.
Well, and women don't alwaysneed that.
Not all women, but you know whatI mean, like it's not our top
(42:47):
priority.
Right.
It's the emotional and theclose, the intimacy itself.
So if that, if they're losingthat, I can see her being like,
yo.
Yeah, the same organ.
A, B, C, D, E, F, G.
Yeah.
All the way to O is not working.
Yeah.
they need some therapy, not theA-hole, but I think that there's
(43:09):
more to that than Yeah.
He's on.
Yeah.
You wanna talk to our bookies?
Yeah.
So if you're not a bookie, peaceout.
Bye.
Go learn how to read, stillleave us a review.
Well, they can't'cause theydon't know how to read.
Yes.
They, they know how to read.
They just don't want to.
It's a choice.
They're making a choice.
Okay.
I won't take your choices away.
I love you anyway.
Yes, we do.
(43:30):
All right.
So for our book readers, yes.
We, decided we didn't like thebook this week.
And Life's too short for badbooks.
Yes.
So we left it.
So we did not read the book wewere supposed to read.
Nope.
We started to, it was the GoodGirl, I think.
Yes.
Both tried it.
Both failed miserably.
Yeah.
At getting through it and welistened to it.
Mm-hmm.
(43:50):
And I couldn't get past thedifferent accents.
Yeah.
And the.
Slowness of the book.
I just, I, there was nothingabout it that kept me,
everything was telling me to beslow.
Yeah.
So if you read it, yay.
Hope you liked it.
Good for you.
Yeah.
But if you didn't send us Yeah.
And, and send us some other bookrecommendations, on what you
(44:12):
might have been reading, becausewe do wanna talk about some
things that we have been readinga little bit.
Yes.
you wanna start or you want meto start?
Uh, you can start.
Okay.
So, I have recently discoveredan author named Holly Jackson.
Okay.
I did read the The Good GirlsGuide to Murder.
And I'd been seeing this bookand it's got a picture of a
young, teenager on it.
(44:33):
And I was like, because it's anew, a Netflix series.
Yes.
Yeah.
And I was like, Ugh, that justdoesn't look like whatever.
But it kept coming up, so I waslike, I'll give it a go.
Loved it.
Mm-hmm.
Loved it.
Loved.
so it is Teenagery, I can readthe blurb.
But so I've read Coupled by her,including some of the series and
then one outside the series, oneoutside the series that I really
(44:54):
liked was the.
Reappearance of Rachel Pierce, Ithought, yeah, that was good.
That is very good.
Lots of twists and turns and allof these seem to have lots of,
you know, different paths,different twists that
unexpected, So should I read theblurb or now?
Yeah.
Okay.
So this is for a Good Girl'sGuide to Murder, which is the
(45:15):
first book in the series.
Pretty unpopular high schoolsenior.
Andy Bell was murdered by herboyfriend, Sal Singh, who then
killed himself.
It was all anyone could talkabout.
And five years later, PIP seeshow the tragedy still haunts her
town, but you can't shake thefeeling.
But there was more to whathappened that day.
She knew Sal when she was achild and he was always so kind
(45:36):
to her.
How could he have possibly havebeen a killer?
Now a senior herself, PIPdecides to reexamine the closed
case for her final project atfirst, just to cast out on the
original investigation, but soonshe discovers a trail of dark
secrets that might actuallyprove Sal's innocent.
And the line between past andpresent begins to blur.
Someone in Fairview doesn't wantPip digging around for answers,
(45:58):
and now her own life might be indanger.
Then the next one in the seriesis called Good Girl Bad Blood,
and I've just started that onenow.
So if you're looking forsomething easy read, ya Yeah,
definitely young adult, butstill murdery, but still some
had a lot of the.
(46:20):
Qualities that we enjoy with thetwist, the ya, um, and Moda.
Um, but but still an easy read.
Definitely check out HollyJackson.
She's got several books that,fit that criteria.
Yeah, I do enjoy her books.
Yeah.
So what you got, I read WhereThe Darkness Goes by Kirsten
Modlin.
Mm-hmm.
(46:40):
I like her.
I do too.
I've read other books of hersand enjoyed all of them.
Yeah.
so this one.
Is Thriller slash Romance.
Mm-hmm.
and I thought it was awesome.
The twist at the end.
Did not see.
Go nice.
Alright.
Tessa Becker has several reasonsto never return to her hometown.
She will have to face the manwho shattered her heart.
(47:00):
She's terrified to confront herailing mother's condition.
That is where the murdershappened.
Tessa Becker must return homefor one reason and one reason
alone.
Someone else is dead, and it'stime to finally learn the truth.
Ever since the first murder,Tessa once charming and safe,
hometown has been infected withsuspicion and fear.
Back then, accusations were madein whispers, but without proof,
(47:22):
the killer still walks free, andnow it's possible they've struck
gun.
If things weren't complicatedenough, Tessa finds herself
forced to stay with the one manshe had hoped to avoid years
ago.
Garrett Campbell held her heartuntil he crushed it.
Now he's a stranger and he'salso her brother's best friend.
An all too familiar place filledwith secrets and devastating
loss surrounded by people withmemories she'd rather forget.
(47:45):
Tessa will have to discover thetruth about what happened back
then and the threatened poses tothe town and the ones she loves
most before it's too late.
It was good.
It was good.
What would you give it?
I would give it probably like aneight and a half.
Okay.
Yeah.
Nice.
I thought it was a great book.
I thought the characters wereawesome.
Yeah.
Again, did not see the twistcoming at the end.
Mm-hmm.
(48:05):
That's always so much fun.
Yeah.
When you don't have any idea howit's gonna Yeah.
Happen.
And it wasn't slow, there was nolag in the book.
Yeah.
It, it continued to go.
So I thought it was great.
Good.
Yeah.
Good.
Okay.
Add, add that one to my list.
Yeah.
now we do have a book for nextweek.
Yes.
Okay.
The House Across the Lake byRiley Sager.
(48:26):
And I have read books by thisauthor before and I enjoy most
of'em.
There was like one or two that Iwas like, Ugh.
Yeah.
But, I have read this bookbefore as well, so I I have too,
but it's been a while, so, yeah.
All right.
So, the blurb.
Casey Fletcher, a recentlywidowed actress trying to escape
a streak of bad press hasretreated to the peace and quiet
(48:48):
of her family's lake house inVermont.
Armed with a pair of binocularsand several bottles of liquor,
she passes a time watching Tomand Catherine Royce, the
glamorous couple who live in thehouse across the lake.
They make for good viewing atech innovator.
Tom is rich and a former model.
Catherine is gorgeous.
One day on the lake, Casey savesCatherine from drowning.
And the two strike up a buddingfriendship.
(49:10):
But the more they get to knoweach other, the longer Casey
watches, it becomes clear thatCatherine and Tom's marriage is
not as perfect and placid as itappears.
When Catherine suddenlyvanishes, Casey becomes consumed
with finding out what happenedto her in the process, she
uncovers eerie, darker truthsthat turn a tale of voyeurism
and suspicion into a story ofguilt, obsession, and how looks
(49:31):
can be very deceiving.

It's something like that, yeah.
Okay.
That's funny.
Yeah.
I use that one.
(01:03):
I also use several apps for theweather, and then I just pick
whichever one I like theforecast the best.
So today's,'cause I have it onthe Sweary.
Mm-hmm.
Side of it, it says cloudyeffing.
Full poop, but it's the realwords.
I that, that's a funny one.
Especially in the summer whenit's so freaking hot.
That one's hilarious to listento.
(01:24):
Yeah, I have like three weather.
And I just bounce around.
But I do have a regular weatherapp, but you can do the hour by
hour or whatever.
That's not fun.
No, it does not give me like mysweary sarcasm that you enjoy so
much.
Yes.
Mm-hmm.
I need a little bit of fun in mylife.
Of course, I get it from myweather app.
We are so old, old and boring.
(01:48):
Well, speaking of old, Dylanwent through all of his clothes
and stuff mm-hmm.
And he was gonna get rid of hisBiggie shirt.
So I took it.
I was gonna compliment you on, Ifeel like I always tell you how
cute you look and I'm like,she's gonna think I'm really
obsessed with her.
And I I am obsessed with you.
But, but it's cute the way youhave it.
Like you have a little It tied.
I, yeah.
So I went to Pinterest.
Yeah, of course.
'cause Dylan, I mean, his.
(02:08):
Clothes are, yeah.
Huge on me.
If you cut a strip up the back.
Mm-hmm.
And then you can tie it so it'snot That's what you did.
Yeah.
Okay.
Because I've seen him too, whereyou take like a rubber band.
Yeah.
And you do that too.
You just like cut like a sliceup the middle and then you can
use those two pieces to makewill not.
Well, adorable.
I love it.
And then how's he gonna get ridof that?
He doesn't fit him anymore.
Oh yeah.
(02:28):
It's like, makes sense.
Well, what am I gonna do withit?
Like, I'm like busting out of itMom.
Because I was like, that'sbiggie, right?
It's like sacrilegious.
You can't do that.
and you've made it a littlefeminine there.
I cut the, the, the collar offand I cut the sleeves so they
weren't like down to like pastmy elbows.
It looks adorable.
Thank you.
You're welcome.
Yeah, you're welcome.
(02:49):
Yeah.
Jackson shirts.
We had to just recently convincehim that he's not a large
anymore.
Mm-hmm.
Yes.
That took a lot of convincing.
Yeah.
well, Dylan had all these liketons and tons.
Mm-hmm.
He doesn't put anything away.
Of course not.
And I'm just like, re washingthese clothes and I'm like,
there has not been enough time.
Mm-hmm.
In between washing clothesmm-hmm.
(03:10):
For all these clothes to beworn.
Mm-hmm.
So why don't we go through yourclothes and just keep the ones
that you're actually wearing?
Right?
Right.
Because Jay will do the samething where its the same thing
over and over again, but thenhe's got a closet full of
clothes and I'm like, if youdon't like these or you're not
gonna wear them, you need totell me.
Yeah.
Because I go up there and Ithink he's got a closet full of
clothes.
We're good.
But no, but I am proud of Jay.
(03:32):
Because he's now not onlywearing black, he has started
wearing some off white, what isit with the all black.
Does Dylan wear all black?
He used to, he went through thatface.
Oh my gosh.
Then he went through like asuper bright color face uhhuh,
and I think it really goes withthe seasons too.
'cause like in the winter, fall,yeah, it goes like darker.
(03:54):
Well, that makes sense.
But I feel like it's been likefor years that Jackson was worn
out.
No, Dylan goes, definitely goesthrough phases of like, what
does he, and I'm so envious ofJackson because his skin tone
and his eyes are so, his eyesare so blue, his skin is so
pretty.
Like he can do colors I can'tdo.
Mm-hmm.
And he's like, I just wanna wearblack.
And I'm like, oh my gosh.
Oh, you care about like, whatlooks, I, I don't, I just buy
(04:16):
it.
Yeah.
I do care about it.
I do care.
I don't know why I, I, nah, youjust wing it.
I'm like, oh, that's cute.
Well, hopefully this works.
'cause I don't like trying onclothes the store.
Oh, I don't either.
I'm the queen of returns.
I just the best.
Yeah.
Or buyer's remorse wants that.
But I, listen, I don't evenreally hardly ever go to a
(04:37):
store.
Everything's online Of course.
And I can just like Yeah.
Ship it back.
Exactly.
Exactly.
But I, yeah, I'm.
Try to look.
I got so little going for mecolors I cannot control.
So if I can find colors thatwork compared to fit or
whatever, I can do that.
But anyway, yeah, Jackson's gotthis comp, like he wore pink
(04:58):
really well and black.
Yeah, that's a boy thing Ithink.
I think so.
But I do love that.
Thank you.
Yes, my biggie.

I know, but you know the lady?
No.
Okay.
I mean, I might, I don't know ifthat's her married name.
I don't know.
The boyfriend, Gary is sayingthat all charges should be
dropped and it was all amisunderstanding.
She did not lure me into theback of the unit or nothing.
All this is just a bunch of bullcrap.
Oxid Dean said, I guess it's,uh, his last name.
Mm-hmm.
They need to get their stuffright.
It's just a bunch of boguscharges.
(17:03):
I mean, she shouldn't be upthere charged with attempted
murder and attempted kidnapping.
He told W's SOC, that the courseof events did start the way
police claimed.
Oxide said he and Deaton were atthe Cooper Storage Unit in
Monroe on February 20th.
He said that at some pointDeaton left to go get food for
the couple, and while she wasgone, he fell asleep in the
unit.
(17:24):
When she got back, she yelled,but he didn't hear her because
he was asleep and she leftlocked the unit assuming he was
no longer there.
'cause he fell asleep in theback of the unit somewhere.
I think it's a unit.
'cause I mean any storage.
I mean I felt like 10 by 10 or10 by like, I mean you, you
would think, right?
I don't know.
Hello?
(17:44):
Look around.
She thought I had gone with anex-girlfriend, so this is where
the drama comes in.
Okay.
That's what it all boils downto, and I hadn't, she said that
she came the next day, but Isleep hard and I fell asleep and
I had been up working for acouple of days.
So he said that she came backand he still slept through her.
Where are you?
INE said that he called himslept or passed out from lack of
(18:06):
nutrition, or was he onsomething?
Read that too.
No, INE said he called emergencyservices instead of it.
Okay, so he had his cell phone,right.
Uhhuh.
He was in there for four daysand he didn't call until day
four.
He didn't call anybody else.
Yeah, I got it.
Okay.
So he said that he had noservice in the unit and the
only, that was the only callthat would go through laws.
(18:27):
Why wait four days?
No idea.
And you had your cell phone?
So I did a quick search on thebook of face to see if, because
I do know some ox and downs andlike I said, I lived in Monroe,
didn't grow up far from there.
I don't know him or her, but sheThat doesn't, that she's got
some filters.
Oh yeah.
Going on.
Yeah, because I saw that.
(18:48):
Yeah, him too.
Yeah.
I think, well, that was 2018.
Yeah.
But here's what the detectivessay.
Right?
Okay.
Okay.
So, they reached out to thepolice for a statement.
Detectives have followed thefacts of the case, corroborating
evidence to support chargescharging DN with kidnapping and
attempted murder.
Charges have been filed and thecase has been turned over to
(19:08):
Union County District Attorney.
Now, they said that.
They said that she got pissedoff and basically like slammed
the door shut and locked him inthere.
That's what he told the policewhen they, okay.
They got there.
Okay.
And he's saying, no, no, no.
That's not what happened.
She went to go get food and Ifell asleep for two days.
(19:29):
Right?
Like.
Oh my gosh.
Ash's now saying that he went totry to get her released on
Thursday morning.
if they want to trade me forher, I'll go in there and sit.
Just whatever she needs to getout.
She's got two kids.
I mean, it's just a bunch ofbull crap.
He's like, I'll just go in thereand take another big nap.
I'll be fine.
My gosh.
How, how did he like you?
(19:49):
I thought you could only gothree days without water, but he
had a phone.
I know, I know.
But move it past that.
Maybe.
Maybe he door dashed himselfwith his phone, food and water,
but out.
How the food get inside.
They put it under the thing, itwas like liquid.
Mm-hmm.
And they put it under the doorin the little vent.
(20:12):
Was it tortilla?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yep.
They, that's maybe that's whatI, I, I'm picturing the tortilla
from like Mr.
Potato Head and Toy Story.
Yes.
That flattens out and goes.
Absolutely, absolutely.
Yeah.
There's a, there's a lot ofquestions there.
A lot.
I need answers.
I need.
She might be, they might belisteners.
(20:34):
I'm just saying that's not evenour way.
I am like I, I need more info.
Somebody give me more info.
Robin and Gary, like the realinfo.
We want to know all the thingsand why was there a question of
the ex-girlfriend?
Right.
Where'd she come from?
Like why was that all of asudden, I thought you were, and
(20:56):
Robin, we've all been there.
We know you're really pissed.
So the first time I heard thisright, I heard this on, I don't
know, whatever, TikTok orsomething.
Mm-hmm.
The day it happened.
Mm-hmm.
They found him where he calledinto the police and mm-hmm.
My first thought was like, well,what did he do?
Yes.
That's what I like.
We know girl, we know he didsomething.
Did he mention the ex?
(21:16):
And you know that they're gonnatry to get the least amount of
women on that jury?
Oh yeah.
Oh yeah.
Like not guilty.
Yeah, I volunteer.
I'll be on the jury.
Drop all charges.
Yeah.
Oh my gosh.
Yeah.
So I'm just saying that is,that's a crazy story, right?
I wanna know so many details.
(21:37):
And did his phone not die?
That's what I'm saying, like howlike he had a phone in there to
call police on day four, butmine wouldn't make it one day.
Mine either, but I'm justthinking, yeah, he's got an
Android maybe.
Maybe.
But you had a phone this wholetime, but the only call that
(21:59):
would go through was 9 1 1 andyou had it this whole time.
Come on.
He had to have been on somethingI'm saying maybe like he had,
I'm just making up stories nowof that's what we do.
Totally.
A legend.
Yeah.
Do not hold me to this, butmaybe he was on something and
attacked her and she like, ohyeah, maybe self-defense.
(22:21):
Robin, here's your, yeah, thereyou go.
Your reasonable doubt.
I got you girl.
You know, we should give outlegal advice.
No, I'm just kidding.
No, nobody asks us for any kindof legal or medical.
No, I mean, okay.
What's the most used medicaladvice you give Dylan?
(22:42):
Like, put ice on it.
Suck it up buttercup.
Well, that too rubs some dirt init.
Yeah.
Some ibuprofen.
Yeah, that, that's me.
That's me.
Drink some water.
Do you?
Oh, is that it?
Yeah.
Well, he's like, mom, like I'vebeen having like a real bad
headache.
Sometimes if I'm working out,mm-hmm.
Are you drinking water?
Yeah.
And he's like, not really.
And I'm like, drink water.
(23:03):
Yeah.
It's probably dehydration.
Right?
That's, see, that's greatadvice.
This is what I'm saying.
And he drank water and I haven'theard a complaint yet.
I mean, you could be a doctor.
I should, I also tell Jackson tostretch a lot.
Like make sure you stretch.
Yeah, like stretch out.
I don't know why we are sittinghere doing this when we can be,
because this is fun.
(23:23):
That's why we're here doingthis.
You're drinking water so youdon't get a headache now, aren't
you?
Yes.
Yes I am.
Well, I've got our Doge updates.
Oh God.
There's been so much going onlately.
I know.
I am ready.
Okay., 120,000 to find out whyprisoners want to get outta
jail.
(23:46):
I better like use of that moneywould be to find out why some
prisoners want to stay in jail.
I think we could probably figurethat answer out too.
All right.
700,000.
To find out the exact phraseNeil Armstrong said when he
walked on the moon, was it onesmall step for man or was it one
small step for a man and theynever actually figured it out?
(24:09):
How are you going to figure itout?
So that's, that's$700,000 thatwent to that, and they had no
resolution to it.
Wasn't it recorded?
Like did it, wasn't ittelevised?
It was.
So why can't they figure it out?
I don't even want to go downthis because Brian says that we
haven't even walked on the moon.
I heard that as well.
(24:30):
And now I heard that there's onesomebody up there now and
they're gonna collect moon rocksor something, I don't know.
Um,$103,000 to find out ifSunfish get more aggressive if
you give them gin or tequila.
I got nothing.
Like I What do you think wouldbe, I think tequila would make
it more aggressive.
(24:50):
Oh yeah.
Gin's just like gonna chill'emout.
That's when they go to the, welleither gin and juice or that's
when they're at the uh,speakeasy.
They might have some gin.
I heard there's a speakeasy inCharlotte there.
It's speaking of things inCharlotte.
Should I apply for that job?
I am not kidding.
Like I think you would befreaking awesome.
Ah.
(25:11):
I might do it.
I might do it.
I think you would be an awesomequeen.
Well, thanks.
So what we're talking about, Ihad tagged so the girl that runs
that business mm-hmm.
Her mom lives my neighborhood.
Okay.
And her mom had shared the job,opportunity.
Okay.
So she does tours, like bustours mm-hmm.
that are themed.
And this one's themed onBridgeton.
And my immediate first thoughtwas Meredith.
(25:32):
I think I could pull it off.
I think so too.
And you get to write the scriptwith them, of, yeah.
Of the tour, of the differentlandmarks.
Yeah.
So I tagged Meredith in thismm-hmm.
This posting, because I'm like,dude, this is like your calling.
This is it.
This is what I've beenpracticing all these terrible
accents for.
So it's only, it's a Friday,Saturday, Sunday gig.
(25:53):
Yeah.
For the tours.
Yeah.
And.
But I think it would be so muchfun.
Those tours are two hours long.
Mm-hmm.
But even just to go on the touritself, I think it would be
cool.
Oh yeah.
And then I told you that I coulddo the wait staff because you
get to test the food.
Yeah.
Because they want you to be ableto tell the, the people what the
all, all the things taste like.
We totally should.
(26:14):
And like, you know, the waitstaff would have to be
knowledgeable about likeallergies, and I'm very well
versed in food allergies rightup your alley too.
So I just thought it would besuch a cool thing for you.
Well, I come in, you need towear the the queen dress.
See?
And they give you a crown.
I could bring my own.
It is.
It is your calling.
(26:35):
Well, when you first tagged mein it, I was like, well, I don't
know if I could be queen, but Ithink you would be a good queen.
I don't think I would be a goodqueen because I felt like you
have the, you could, you'revery, you could look very
haughty.
Very, yeah, very elegant, verymindful, very dmu.
I am none of those things.
Same.
So how is this to be a queen?
My hot bus?
(26:58):
My accents are not it.
Like I can't do an accent.
You.
Okay, I'll, that's your forte.
I'll put in my, I'll put in myapplication.
What kind of apple, what are myreferences and I don't know, but
we can as chat, GPT.
Okay.
Yeah.
I watch a lot of bridger.
Yes.
I watch a lot of bridger.
(27:19):
You can send in a voice.
That's a good idea of readingthe script.
We can write a script for you,Uhhuh.
And it says you, if you'resnarky, it's even better.
I mean, I would need your helpwith that.
Yeah.
Because sometimes I'm not superquick.
Okay.
Okay.
I can dress up and be the personat Earpieces.
(27:39):
Yeah.
Yes.
And I'll use the accent.
Yeah, I need you to gimme somesnarks as you're being the wait
staff.
So as you're serving thesepeople, you say something about
Wanka, they're like, listen,bro.
Right.
Well, there was a lady thatcommented on it, like Meredith,
(27:59):
I put in a good word.
That's one of the ladies that Idog sit for.
Oh, okay.
So I'm not sure the connectionthere, but I was like.
The Lord wants me to do this.
I'm saying if there was ever asign for you to be a queen, that
was it.
Okay.
I'll think about it.
Seriously, I think it'd be afun, fun thing to do.
I too, I mean, what else do Ihave to do on Friday and
(28:20):
Saturday?
Like acting long.
Yes.
Yes.
Absolutely.
I didn't mean to interrupt yourNo, I, okay.
I am.
That was way more important thanthe, the Doge updates.
Listen.
It.
I saw it and it was like lightbulb.
It was 100% and it wasn't theonly one that thought it, so.
Okay.
We'll see.
I'll let you guys know.
(28:41):
Back to back to the, yeah,sorry.
Okay, so we just got done withthe Sunfish.
Mm-hmm.

1.4 million in contracts tophysically observe mailing and
clerical operations in theDepartment of Education.
So they're just observing.
They're just sitting therechilling, watching people work.
Yeah.
department of Education, 3million to create a report to

is they have meetings aboutmeetings.
They have to eliminate meetings.
Yeah.
Oh, it's ridiculous.
It's ridiculous.
And sometimes.
My schedule is so insanely crazywith meetings that it's like,
well, I'll, I'll throw you on acc, come as you can.
(29:24):
I'm like, yeah, I can't get mywork done because I'm attending
these meetings.
So I've just started not goingto a lot of them.
4.6 million in the Department ofEducation to coordinate Zoom and
in-person meetings,$4.6 million.
Yeah.

I mean, our teachers get paidnothing.
Um, right.
(29:45):
And, but you know, right.
We have, well, okay, so myquestion is, what is that money
being, so is that the salary ofpeople that are coordinating or
Right.
I know.
We don't know, but it's justlike it went in somebody's
pocket.
Oh yeah.
I know.
I forgot that.
I forgot.
That's really what's going on.,43 million on a gas station in
Afghanistan that had nocustomers.
(30:05):
Tess is ridiculous.
$20,600 for a drag show inEcuador.
$446,700 to promote atheism inNepal, and 1.7 million for a
retirement study in China.
I've got nothing.
I've got nothing either.
But there we are.
(30:27):
Um, so I don't know if this hasbeen put into effect or not, but
supposedly President Trump wasgoing to sign an executive order
to make English the primarylanguage.
Did you hear that?
I thought it was, it, it is not.
I remember learning a schoolthat it's not, what is it?
We don't have one.
Oh.
But I saw this post that wasreally funny is that, you know,
(30:47):
46% of you guys don't know thedifference in there, there and
there it is stupid that we haveall these words that are the
same words spelled mm-hmm.
A bunch of different ways.
Yeah.
But, or the same or differentwords spelled the same way.
Yeah.
Like red and red.
Yeah.
And polish.
And polish.
Yeah.
I could go on and on, but I'llstop.
And yeah.
(31:07):
And I'm not horrible at languagearts.
Mm-hmm.
It was like my better Right.
School, right subject.
Right.
But with Dylan having dyslexia.
Oh yeah.
It was a trip.
Realizing how Yeah.
Absurd some of this stuff is.
So, yeah, our English languageis weird.
It is very weird.
Okay.
And I said that I can't I said Ican't learn a second language.
(31:29):
Mm-hmm.
Like, my brain just doesn'tabsorb it.
And I did download the Babel appbecause there was a, a lifetime
membership Oh.
for like$125 or something.
Okay.
And so I was like, well, I'mjust gonna download it.
So it's great.
And I got through like the firstlesson, but I keep having to go
back because I'm afraid that I'mnot, like, once we move on, I'm
(31:50):
not gonna forget the firstlesson.
So I'm like, I, I've been on thefirst lesson forever and I've
already finished it, but I'mlike, I'm gonna forget it.
And then it's just like thisvicious cycle.
And.
How long did it take you to doone lesson?
Not long.
I mean, I mean, like an hour ortwo days.
I mean, I, I just have it setfor like 10 minutes a day or 15
minutes a day or whatever it is.
So I can finish.
(32:10):
Are you doing Spanish or whatlanguage?
Spanish, yeah.
And then if I don't do it forlike a day or two, I forget it
all.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah.
So I was gonna say like, youneed to set yourself a time or a
reminder in your calendar.
I know.
Block your time and do like 10minutes and then you can do
maybe like a recap.
Yeah.
And, and, and keep building onit.
I know.
It's just, I have such a badmemory.
(32:32):
That's neat though.
I've always wanted to try that.
Boy a lifetime for 1 25 is good.
Yeah.
'cause like, just like for theannual thing, it was like 80 or
something like that.
Mm-hmm.
Yeah.
And it's got, I don't know, like15 or 20 different languages.
Not that.
I can't even get the second.

(32:52):
Jackson is doing Spanish rightnow.
Okay.
He did Spanish and middleschool, but I mean, no, it was
middle school, Spanish, don'tget me wrong.
It was just whatever.
So he seems to be doing well.
His grades fine.
So we were watching a movie theother night called McFarland,
USA.
Mm-hmm.
And it takes place in Californiawith a lot of, hispanic people
and Jackson was like, I cantranslate for you.

It's going very slow.
Yeah, but, well, I think youdon't have enough confidence in
(33:35):
yourself.
Confide, they go so slow.
I think.
Spanish people speak really fastbecause that's their language
and they can understand eachother.
I'm gonna be there to be likeslow.
I need to learn the word forslow.
Opposite of Onlay?
No.
Onlay.
Onlay.

supposed to help me remember todo my tasks, like to drink
(35:03):
water, to, take my medicine, todrink water, to do my
moisturizer, what, you know, allthat kind of stuff.
That's not important, but itneeds to be done.

Okay.
I haven't marked anything upyet.
Oh dear.
I just made it like an hourbefore you got here.
Okay.
So that's why.
Yeah.
So, okay.
We'll see how tomorrow goes.
Yeah.
All right.
Cool.
Okay.
You ready for am I the A-hole Iam.
All right, Steph, what have yougiven me?
(36:27):
What am I the a-hole forthinking I was great in bed
until my wife admitted she'sbeen faking it.
So this one hurts.
I 34-year-old male have beenwith my wife, 32 female for
eight years, married for five.
Can I just stop you right here?
Yeah.
She just didn't wanna be mean, Iguess, and like, but then she
(36:47):
got like so caught up in it thatshe couldn't say anything.
Homie, she might have beentrying to tell you and you just
weren't picking up what she wasputting down.
Okay.
I always thought our sex lifewas solid.
She seemed into it.
I put in effort, and honestly, Ithought I was pretty good in
bad.
Then last week we were having adeep conversation about our
relationship.
(37:08):
Oh, don't have those.
There's, there's your solution.
There's where you went wrong.
There's where you went wrong.
We were just talking aboutthings we could improve and out
of nowhere she drops.
What did he say before this?
Mm-hmm.
I should probably tell you, I'venever actually had an O with
(37:28):
you.
I laugh because I legit thoughtshe was joking and she wasn't.
Turns out she's been faking itour entire relationship.
Eight.
Beeping years.
I was stunned.
I asked why she never told meand she said, I didn't wanna
hurt your feelings and that it'snot a big deal.
(37:50):
Not a big deal.
I've been walking aroundthinking I was a sex God.
Well, that's your own fault.
While she was out here givingOscar worthy performances.
I was gonna ask, maybe sheshould be Queen Charlotte, if
she's that good to convince himfor eight years, five years,
eight years.
I don't think it takes muchconvincing for a guy to believe
it.
He is a sex God.
(38:14):
Okay.
I won't lie, I felt like acomplete idiot.
I told her I would have ratherknown sooner so we could, you
know, fix it.
But now I just feel embarrassed,frustrated and kind of betrayed.
I get, she didn't wanna make mefeel bad, but I also feel like
she took away my chance toactually learn and improve.
Dude, you're 34.
You got some time left, bud.
(38:36):
Like, was I that bad that shethought I wasn't even worth it?
So am I the a-hole for beingupset or am I overreacting to
something that apparentlydoesn't matter?
Okay.
So many questions.
Mm-hmm.
I have.
Mm-hmm.
What was the response was, washe the a-hole?
not.
Okay.
I don't think he's an a-hole forbeing upset.
I think that I wanna know whathe was telling her she could
(38:56):
approve on before she threw thisout.
Yeah.
That's a good point.
That's a great point.
I wanna know what was said thatlike this came out right,
because she's been holding thatin for a long time that Yeah, I
am.
There had to have been somethinglaid down that she was like, ha,
that's what I'm think Trump.
Yeah, you're probably right.
(39:17):
And that ended the conversation.
Yeah.
Be she won.
Yeah.
Might literally be the end, Imean.
You're, she, she probably juststarted like, oh, well, it's
just one time.
Like, it's the first time he isnervous.
Whatever.
Maybe it'll get better.
I don't know.
Don't come for us for sex adviceeither, apparently.
(39:38):
I, okay.
So I've got so many questionsfor both of them.
Yeah.
I, I want.
I don't want like detaileddetails, but I like, I need more
than what I, he thought he was asex guide staff.
That right there tells me prettymuch everything I need to know.
I think he's a big douche bag.
Yeah, it sounds like it.
And I, again, Uhhuh said rightbefore this, yeah, because I
feel like he probably saidsomething really, really dumb
(40:02):
right before this.
I understand why he's upset andit's probably very embarrassing
for a man to hear that.
Yeah.
Are they talking about just theactual act or is it like
everything?
Like he has never Yeah.
Brought her ever, ever withanything.
Right.
Like, ha does he not warm up theengine before?
(40:24):
Just start sticking the keys in.
They go for the ride.
Yeah.
Yeah, they didn't really givemany details.
I feel like this was like her.
Gotcha.
Almost not.
Gotcha.
But, okay.
So after eight years mm-hmm.
Like, things can, yeah.
Like that's like, that's likealmost, you know, that's the
(40:44):
kind of the time where you're,everything's kind of going
stagnant a little bit.
Yeah.
And I don't know, but it's been,it had never happened.
Yeah.
It's not like it always hadhappened and then it stopped.
Yeah.
Well, I'm saying if everythingelse is kind of like slowing
down, they're kind of gettinginto this like stagnant mm-hmm.
Area of their relationship.
Mm-hmm.
(41:04):
And she's like, yo, I, you atleast you got to Yeah.
Take the car for the ride andhave fun in the ride.
I didn't even get there likeRight.
I again, was it an aggressiveconversation or was it like a.
Truly heart to heart.
Like I don't see a dude havinglike this heart to heart about
(41:24):
this.
No.
Okay.
They were, uh, this is whathappened.
You're right.
They were arguing aboutsomething else.
Probably something totally.
Or not even arguing, but like,we need to sit down and have a
talk about our finances orwhatever.
You haven't done the dishes.
Yeah.
Is what I'm seeing.
We need to talk about.
It's like head, like he wasfloating, like his head.
Like why?
(41:45):
Yeah.
We need to figure out.
He probably tried to save it.
Like we need to figure out whywe aren't.
I don't say dude doing that atall.
Brian does it.
Does he?
Yeah.
He'll be like, we really need todo better.
I'm like, who is we?
Go ahead and say it, and itusually stops right there.
But yeah, like I could see andthen I would flip and then I
(42:06):
would be like, you know what?
Yeah.
Guess what?
Mofo right.
She took off the gloves.
Yeah.
I think he's trying to play itlike he's this.
Mm-hmm.
I don't know.
I don't believe what he'sputting out there.
I don't think he's the a-hole.
But I think he's the douchecanoe, and I don't think she is
(42:26):
either.
I think she was just, she wastrying to protect him.
Yeah, protect his feelings.
And she really loved him and waslike, okay, well I can handle
that myself.
Like that's not right.
Like my whole right.
Right reason I'm with him.
Well, and women don't alwaysneed that.
Not all women, but you know whatI mean, like it's not our top
(42:47):
priority.
Right.
It's the emotional and theclose, the intimacy itself.
So if that, if they're losingthat, I can see her being like,
yo.
Yeah, the same organ.
A, B, C, D, E, F, G.
Yeah.
All the way to O is not working.
Yeah.
they need some therapy, not theA-hole, but I think that there's
(43:09):
more to that than Yeah.
He's on.
Yeah.
You wanna talk to our bookies?
Yeah.
So if you're not a bookie, peaceout.
Bye.
Go learn how to read, stillleave us a review.
Well, they can't'cause theydon't know how to read.
Yes.
They, they know how to read.
They just don't want to.
It's a choice.
They're making a choice.
Okay.
I won't take your choices away.
I love you anyway.
Yes, we do.
(43:30):
All right.
So for our book readers, yes.
We, decided we didn't like thebook this week.
And Life's too short for badbooks.
Yes.
So we left it.
So we did not read the book wewere supposed to read.
Nope.
We started to, it was the GoodGirl, I think.
Yes.
Both tried it.
Both failed miserably.
Yeah.
At getting through it and welistened to it.
Mm-hmm.
(43:50):
And I couldn't get past thedifferent accents.
Yeah.
And the.
Slowness of the book.
I just, I, there was nothingabout it that kept me,
everything was telling me to beslow.
Yeah.
So if you read it, yay.
Hope you liked it.
Good for you.
Yeah.
But if you didn't send us Yeah.
And, and send us some other bookrecommendations, on what you
(44:12):
might have been reading, becausewe do wanna talk about some
things that we have been readinga little bit.
Yes.
you wanna start or you want meto start?
Uh, you can start.
Okay.
So, I have recently discoveredan author named Holly Jackson.
Okay.
I did read the The Good GirlsGuide to Murder.
And I'd been seeing this bookand it's got a picture of a
young, teenager on it.
(44:33):
And I was like, because it's anew, a Netflix series.
Yes.
Yeah.
And I was like, Ugh, that justdoesn't look like whatever.
But it kept coming up, so I waslike, I'll give it a go.
Loved it.
Mm-hmm.
Loved it.
Loved.
so it is Teenagery, I can readthe blurb.
But so I've read Coupled by her,including some of the series and
then one outside the series, oneoutside the series that I really
(44:54):
liked was the.
Reappearance of Rachel Pierce, Ithought, yeah, that was good.
That is very good.
Lots of twists and turns and allof these seem to have lots of,
you know, different paths,different twists that
unexpected, So should I read theblurb or now?
Yeah.
Okay.
So this is for a Good Girl'sGuide to Murder, which is the
(45:15):
first book in the series.
Pretty unpopular high schoolsenior.
Andy Bell was murdered by herboyfriend, Sal Singh, who then
killed himself.
It was all anyone could talkabout.
And five years later, PIP seeshow the tragedy still haunts her
town, but you can't shake thefeeling.
But there was more to whathappened that day.
She knew Sal when she was achild and he was always so kind
(45:36):
to her.
How could he have possibly havebeen a killer?
Now a senior herself, PIPdecides to reexamine the closed
case for her final project atfirst, just to cast out on the
original investigation, but soonshe discovers a trail of dark
secrets that might actuallyprove Sal's innocent.
And the line between past andpresent begins to blur.
Someone in Fairview doesn't wantPip digging around for answers,
(45:58):
and now her own life might be indanger.
Then the next one in the seriesis called Good Girl Bad Blood,
and I've just started that onenow.
So if you're looking forsomething easy read, ya Yeah,
definitely young adult, butstill murdery, but still some
had a lot of the.
(46:20):
Qualities that we enjoy with thetwist, the ya, um, and Moda.
Um, but but still an easy read.
Definitely check out HollyJackson.
She's got several books that,fit that criteria.
Yeah, I do enjoy her books.
Yeah.
So what you got, I read WhereThe Darkness Goes by Kirsten
Modlin.
Mm-hmm.
(46:40):
I like her.
I do too.
I've read other books of hersand enjoyed all of them.
Yeah.
so this one.
Is Thriller slash Romance.
Mm-hmm.
and I thought it was awesome.
The twist at the end.
Did not see.
Go nice.
Alright.

hometown has been infected withsuspicion and fear.
Back then, accusations were madein whispers, but without proof,

Tessa will have to discover thetruth about what happened back
then and the threatened poses tothe town and the ones she loves
most before it's too late.
