Speaker 4 (00:36):
It's going still here, Yeah, somehow.

Speaker 2 (00:41):
Somehow, I was gonna say, you know, just to warn everybody,
we're picking up this in the middle of a very
intense blue conversation. Yeah, so when I was gonna be like,
first they came for the forest, then they came for
the Social Security Administration and the IRS. Now they're coming
for the Department of Education. And still I just posted

(01:04):
memes on Instagram and.

Speaker 5 (01:06):
Felt like I was doing something.

Speaker 2 (01:11):
Man in a way every you can just sway one person,
you're doing more than nothing.

Speaker 5 (01:16):
You're doing more than nothing.

Speaker 3 (01:18):
But it is more performative than like actually needle pushing.

Speaker 2 (01:22):
I know. But you know, again, we've talked about this.
It's like very much like what can you do? Like right,
and they're taking protesters away, they're making them disappear, Like
what can you do when you live in an authority
in government and the majority of the people who voted
for it. Still don't understand it. What do you do?

(01:45):
We're going to ask ourselves this every hopefully just for
the next four years and not for the rest of
our lives.

Speaker 4 (01:52):
So any calling your congress people, folks.

Speaker 2 (01:57):
Yes, we still have them.

of phone calls.

Speaker 2 (02:05):
You guys will still have yours. Oh, they're sending everything
back to the states, except if those states are blue,
in which case I'm just gonna arrest everybody. No, I
don't know, just heading bluey, let's talk about blue.

Let's talk about blue.

Speaker 2 (02:23):
Oh my god, what did you I was going to
mention that he was there.

Speaker 4 (02:30):
Because he was so funny because he crawled on the
bed like like Vivian, and like I was expecting it
to be Vivian, but then it was, and then and
then a little bit later, Vivian did crawl through the street.

Speaker 2 (02:48):
Because I turned at one point because I also thought
it was Vivian.

Speaker 4 (02:54):

Speaker 4 (03:21):
But you got to first see him crawling.

Speaker 5 (03:23):
Yeah, yeah, you started recording.

Speaker 3 (03:31):
I truly thought you knew, because I would imagine the
door made it.

Speaker 4 (03:34):
Sound it did.

Speaker 2 (03:35):
I thought it was the cat.

Speaker 4 (03:37):
The second time it was the cat.

will come upstairs and just a couple of minutes and
check on you. Please do do do do do do

Speaker 7 (04:15):
Yeah, So wherever we were, bluey, I do remember that, Yes,
blue Finally he is she is.

Speaker 3 (04:22):
And like she's like so imaginative and like she has
such a good memory that like she pulls like things
from stuff she sees and like manifest it into her play.
So you know, I think I came were always on lava,
always lava, not as much as you think, but you know,

(04:43):
from time to time, from time to time, And I
can't remember if I told this story around the holidays,
but for Christmas, she got this little bouncy ball that's
like a stuffed like a plushy ball, and it's a
panda and she called it pomp Pom and she was
like really into this, like just you know, sort of

(05:05):
cheapy little toy that someone got her as like an afterthought.

Speaker 4 (05:08):
And yeah, she's like.

Speaker 5 (05:09):
Pom Pom, You're the best part of Christmas.

Speaker 3 (05:12):
And like it was like very into this Pomp Pomp.
And cut to like several weeks later, her and I
are like watching blue because it's kind of our thing.
We like, come home from the playground, I put on
Bluey while I'm like getting dinner ready and like.

Speaker 2 (05:24):
Seven minutes of Heaven.

Speaker 5 (05:25):
Yeah, and like it all.

Speaker 3 (05:26):
Sit with her a little bit and the episode with
Pomp Pom the Dog came on, and like, yeah, it's
a little tiny circle of a dog cartoon dog that
is white, so it doesn't look too different from like
her Pomp Pom like plushy panda ball, and I like,
look at her, I'm like, is that where Pom Pom

(05:47):
comes from?

Speaker 4 (05:47):
And she just kind of like smiles at me.

Speaker 3 (05:50):
She's like, yeah, but like all these things now that
like I just think that she's like cleverly come up
with this thing again. It's like, oh, that's where you
got that from. Like she'll make us like reenact.

Speaker 5 (06:02):
Scenes of things and.

Speaker 3 (06:04):
It'll it's just like it's just a bluey you know.
And she gets mad that you don't know the lines,
cause it's like, well, I didn't.

Speaker 5 (06:09):
I didn't watch this episode.

Speaker 4 (06:11):
I don't know.

Speaker 5 (06:13):
I don't know Veranda Santa Verbatim.

Speaker 2 (06:16):
Yeah you know, but I didn't. Then it's it's a
great chick. I mean it's it's fantastic. And you know,
the amount of parents I hear talk about like how
it just inspire their kids imagination. It's great. Like it's
like it's yeah, it's wonderful.

Speaker 4 (06:33):
It's very entertaining.

Speaker 2 (06:35):
Yay. Do you have a favorite episode? Mine is the
Lulla by one where Bingo and Blueye are heavy or
Bingo's having trouble falling asleep and her mom is like
she has the nightmare and she dreams of her mom
and like her mom's her home base.

Speaker 4 (06:49):
It's beautiful. Oh that's nice.

Speaker 5 (06:52):
I really like the grannies.

Speaker 2 (06:54):
The grannies are the best, are just so fun, and
the grannies recur throughout the sho show.

Speaker 4 (07:00):
They do every time the granny show up.

Speaker 2 (07:03):
Like, yes, was it Rita and Janet and Janet, which
is funny because you have a Janet that's a granny Shanny.
You know, nobody would judge you if you just watch them,
because they're really great. Five years now, yeah, you know,

(07:27):
because they just they really like kind of just they
speak to adult themes and they presented in kid ways. Yeah,
and kids and kid themes that they presented kidways. So yeah,
it is quite wonderful. Yeah, anyway, you'll have to keep
us posted on like any Bluey updates. Are you finished?
Did you see the sign?

Speaker 3 (07:48):
Yeah, we've watched everything through and now we're kind of
watching it again.

Speaker 2 (07:51):
Okay.

Speaker 3 (07:51):
Well it's like and I think also when we were
flying for the holidays, they had Bluey on like the
in flight entertainment system, so she watched like two seasons
between the two flights, so like there was a lot
of Bluey that she had seen that we hadn't. So
that's like, you know, there was like a lot of
things that like were coming into her play because it's

(08:11):
like I just didn't see the episodes. It's like, well
I could see them, but I couldn't hear them because
she had them had on headphones. Yeah, so it's like
I'm sort of discovering, you know, the Pom Pom thing
was fresh in her mind. She had like just watched
that episode on the plane like two Connecticut.

Speaker 5 (08:26):
Yeah, it's like, oh, that's where that came from.

Speaker 2 (08:28):
Huh. Yeah, did you cry with the sign episode? That's
the one where we all sat there and like both
of my kids were sobbing hysterically, but also we had
a lot of build up for it, So yeah, I
don't know.

Speaker 3 (08:42):
If that one made me cry. Some of them definitely do.
Some of them like just you know, and baby Racing, Yeah, like.

Speaker 2 (08:50):
Yeah, a Shanny baby Race is an episode where they're
talking about how one of them was born premature, and
it's the mom's kind of pondering like how their kids
hit milestones at different times, and like they conclude at
the end of it that everybody crosses the finish line
at their own pace and doesn't matter, and it's yeah,

(09:13):
it's really quite lovely. Like I said, there's there's grown
up messages look it up Baby Race, like it's a
really it's a it's a really famous one. And then
there's the one where they allude to, you know, how
Blue's mom had a miscarriage before Blue and they talk
about that and then that comes back into play like

(09:36):
it's Zachary's actually seen that on Blue YouTube videos too,
So like that actually is like, it's really cool how
some of the grown up things they integrate into the
children's show are you know, kind of presented to children
then in like a way where you know, it's not
so taboo. It's more like just explaining it how mister

(09:56):
Rogers would explain it.

Speaker 4 (09:58):
So yeah, that episode, either.

Speaker 2 (10:01):
That's the one where they are I believe that's the
one where they're re enacting how the parents met.

Speaker 3 (10:06):
Oh yeah, I guess maybe I didn't pick up on them.

Speaker 2 (10:09):
Maybe I wasn't watching it. I didn't pick up but
the first time either, it's very subtle, but they it
talks about how their mom had a baby and her
tummy before Bluie that didn't get to be born or something.

Speaker 4 (10:20):
Geez, yeah, no I miss that.

Speaker 2 (10:23):
I'll let you when I'm editing this, I'll look up
the one. I'm pretty sure, it's the one where they're
they're interacting how the parents met, but yeah, okay, but yeah,
it's very subtle.

Speaker 3 (10:33):
So yeah, yeah, And we recently watched the one where
like bingos in the hospital for some reason they don't
explain and like everybody else makes her this like story
movie and they're like watching it on the.

Speaker 4 (10:45):
iPad and it was very sweet.

Speaker 2 (10:48):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (10:49):
I can't remember the name of the episode, but I
was just.

Speaker 5 (10:51):
Like, oh, good o yeah, family. Family.

Speaker 4 (10:55):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (10:55):
But there's also a lot of really fun ones too.
I like the one where the parents are hungover from
New Year's but it's New Year's Day, so they're letting
the kids build the forts all over them. I don't
think it's one of the later season ones. But yeah,
there's there's something for everyone. It's really really great. Okay,

(11:16):
back to the end of the world. We we had
our first ever car convention at the White House this week.
That was cool. That was new Tesla Khan outside of
the White House. The new meme though, that you know
came out of that is I don't know if you
watched the video of Trump getting into Tesla for the

(11:37):
first time, they need to see that he's okay, it's
actually pretty fucking hilarious to like, honestly, it's funny. He's
in there and he's like you can tell that he
doesn't really want to be there, but like he's got
to be. And he's like, oh wow, wow, look how
beautiful this is. This is a beautiful car. Like, i mean,
look at this. Everything's computer. So everything's computer is like

(12:04):
the new internet meme, like and not like, you know,
to glorified Trump just because it was so fucking old man, ridiculous,
Like everything's computer. So if you hear somebody say that
in the wild, do you see a meme? That's what
it is. Yeah. He also like they got out of

(12:25):
the test when like made this speech because the reporter's like,
so are you gonna drive? And he's like, oh no,
I'm not allowed to drive. They won't let me drive,
but I'm gonna let the White House workers drive in.
It's like I'm not allowed and I'm like, oh my god.
The one law he follows, right, I'm.

Speaker 3 (12:41):
Gonna let the White House workers drive it like a
class pet. They're all gonna take turns taking it home.

Speaker 2 (12:47):
Basically, But he says clearly, like three or four tapes
like but they won't let me drive. I'm not allowed
to drive. I love driving cars, but I'm just not
allowed to anymore. And I'm like, God, damn it, we
found the law that he's not willing to break.

Speaker 4 (12:59):
You think he's ever driven?

Speaker 2 (13:01):
I don't know. Maybe I don't know.

Speaker 4 (13:03):
No, I mean honestly, like, yeah, I don't think so.
I mean I don't.

Speaker 5 (13:07):
Throughout wealthy in New York City.

Speaker 4 (13:09):
Likely he never had to always be driven.

Speaker 5 (13:12):
Yeah, I'm sure he's always had drivers.

Speaker 4 (13:15):
So that's probably why it's not that he's following the
laws that he doesn't actually know how to drive.

Speaker 2 (13:19):
That's a good point. See you always think that like
drag racing, like college or like try, but you're right,
it's more plausial than.

Speaker 4 (13:28):
Yeah, yeah, that's dangerous.

Speaker 2 (13:30):
You have to bone.

Speaker 4 (13:32):
Spurs would have prevented that.

Speaker 3 (13:35):
It would be too painful to like press down on
the gas pedal that hard.

Speaker 5 (13:39):
Yeah, yeah tough.

Speaker 8 (13:41):
You know, everything's computer I'm going to say so, speaking
of technology, I come in exacchary on his class field
trip over the weekend, and when he like.

Speaker 2 (13:58):
Always says, like everybody in my class has we were start,
he was just exaggerating. No, every single kid in that
class has a phone, like just about.

Speaker 4 (14:08):
Them.

Speaker 2 (14:09):
No, it was insane, like I mean insane, like truly,
I I get so I was sitting next to you.
I'm a new friend. She was very nice. She actually
lives like across the street from her school, so her
daughter is a walker.

Speaker 4 (14:27):
A walker.

Speaker 2 (14:28):
Yeah, so it was funny because we yes, so it
was funny because we knew she's a walker, not a
white walker. But still it was kind of funny because
A we had to be there at five point forty
five in the morning, right, and we get on the
bus it's like six fifteen, and both like Zachary want

(14:49):
to sit with me, but one of his friends who's
autistic and he was really want to see it with
act so bad and like he's very highly functioning. But
there are some things you could tell like struggles with
and at six fifteen in the morning, I was not
there to help him fucking cope with not getting this
sit with Zachary. So I helped him cope with things

(15:10):
throughout the rest of the day because he was in
my group. But like I was, I was not ready
for it yet because I still had a full thing
of coffee, so you know, I was like, zach, it's okay,
just sit with him. I'm going to sit over back here.
And we knew there were empty seats, and I think
both of us as parents were hoping that we would
get the empty seat. And then we just did it,

(15:30):
and like finally I was like, hey, can I sit here?
And she was like sure. I was looking for the
empty seat, like she said it out loud and I
was like me too. I was like I'm sorry. And
we were just like in the back, like the second
rope from the back.

Speaker 4 (15:44):
So the cool kids.

Speaker 2 (15:45):
Yeah, the cool kids. So anyway, we like you know, politely,
like you know, talked the hallway there and like by
the end, at one point I brought up how Zachary
went to a birthday party. This was on the way back,
how Zachar went to a birthday party? Ohkay. It started
with she was talking about Kendrick Lamar's halftime show and

(16:06):
like album, and she didn't know that the whole that
whole not Like Us song is a complete diss on Drake.
Like she was like, and do you know who he's
talking about with this and that I was like, yeah,
it's Drake. The whole song, every single thing is drap, like,
go back, it's just Rick. So then like I started
like pulling up things online. I was showing her on like,
and so at some point we were talking about Zach

(16:27):
went to that birthday party and he was really uncomfortable
because it was at the kid's house and the kid's
dad had Trump paraphernalia everywhere, and he called me to
have him pick him up because he was like uncomfortable
at the end. So I was telling her about it,
and she goes, you're not mega, and I was like,
I'm not mega. And then we just hit it off.

Speaker 3 (16:50):
Bar from it.

Speaker 2 (16:53):
So then we both had the leopards eat your face,
eat my face up breadit fulled up, and we're comparing
like things like I mean, we spent like a half
an hour. I'm so glad. The kids were like too
busy on their phones and their tiktoks to pay attention.

(17:13):
It was so ridiculous. And then but yeah, at some point,
this one girl who was this one girl she is
like Alex's size in fifth grade, and she was she
was shutting kids up with just a look like she
clearly runs the classroom. And the mom was saying, so
she's a girl. Mom, I'm a boy mom, so I
don't find out any of this shit. And she was

(17:35):
telling me how this girl and her counterpart in the
other class were so mean that the girl in the
other class had gotten other girls to change their tracks
to not have to be in her class. That's how
mean this other girl was. And she was like, that
are the girl's moms not involved? This girl's mom has
at least gotten involved in like she's a bit better
where she's not that mean, but like she's still I mean,

(17:57):
I noticed it at six fifteen in the morning where
like people would give her she had like Britney Murphy
energy almost does that make sense? Or like what's her
name's character the Christina Ricci character the Gabrielle Hoffman character
In Gabrielle Hoffman character Christina Ricci in like now and then,
like she said this energy, we're like like people would

(18:21):
say something to her, and like literally she was trying
to sleep on the way back and one of the
kids that were sitting directly behind us so directly like
diagonally behind her, they were like making really loud noises.
She literally picked again she's Alex's size and fifth grade
picks her head up like with the covers, turns around,
gives this kid a look, and he just shuts the
fuck up. And we have been asking, as parents, been

(18:44):
asking this to stop fucking or at least at least
forty five minutes. We were like, oh shit, that's power.
That is yeah, And I asked Zach after and He's like, yeah,
she's one of those sassy girls that likes to be
in charge of everything, and I was like ye. Anyway,
so at some point she was texting this that her

(19:07):
counterpart in the other class who was on the other bus,
that this other kid behind us had a crush on her.
And then the the lady sitting next to me, Yolanda,
she was like, uh, you should. She was joking, right,
She was like, you should tell uh what's her name?
I don't remember the other girl in her class's name.

(19:29):
Let's say Anne because I don't remember what it was.
It wasn't Anne Egg. Yes, So she was like, you
should tell Egg that he you know, he wants to
talk to her. And she actually typed that in and
said it and then like the girl, Egg responded back
like I have him call me, and then we were like, oh,

(19:51):
like his parents.

Speaker 4 (19:53):
It was so it was so ridiculous, and then like
all her.

Speaker 2 (19:57):
Yeah, he tried to facetimer and we were like, no,
we don't really do that. It ended up being okay, though,
because you could tell that these were all the cool
kids that, like you were like when you're growing up,
the cool kids have their own like thing going on,
right m hm, And you can just tell like this
was not going to socially hurt anybody, but it was

(20:19):
really funny because everybody got real loud, and all of us,
including us two parents, got real dirty looks from the parent,
the teacher, chaperone in the front. You're like, just kidding,
but okay. So every kid had a phone except for
Zachary and this other kid who he was at his dad.

(20:40):
His parents are divorced. He was at his dad's house
that morning, so he only gets his iPhone and he's
at his mom's house. He doesn't he's not allowed to
get when he's at his dad's house. So that's the
only reason why this kid didn't have a phone. And
Zachary wasn't the only one without a phone that I
could see in my vicinity. So anyway, this little woman
I was sitting with was telling me that a group

(21:00):
of kids were I'm sorry, a group of parents were
reading this book, and you know, the board meeting, I
was just in they were just talking about this book too.
But it's it's I think it's called Unplugged maybe, but
it's it's basically talking about uh me, it's not called unplugged.
It's talking about kids in like this era, like this

(21:21):
generation who were growing up, like do you get them
cell phones or do not get them cell phones? And
the book recommended like waiting until they were like you know,
fifteen or sixteen to get the phones because developmentally, But
the problem they were all having and they were trying
was that now that they're in it. And she said

(21:41):
that her daughter facetimes some of her girlfriends at like
seven o'clock in the morning, and they put makeup on together.
Like that's how like you know, do you wear makeup? Yeah?
Fifth grade, but like they put makeup on together. They
FaceTime each other at night, like and then some of
the other kid uh like parents I've been talking to

(22:02):
since they're like, yeah, like the kids FaceTime like all
the time, they text all the time. But the problem
is if you take the phone away, now, that's like
all their social status is tied into it, so then
they just lose out on their friends. Like our friends
are going to continue having these text message conversations, are
going to continue making plans and this and that, and
then your kid is just like left out. So it's

(22:24):
like this sort of like you know, Sophie's Choice kind
of situation, Like what do you do when you've already
gotten into it?

Speaker 3 (22:33):
Right, which is why there needs to be like a
real come to Jesus moment with children and phones and
schools and like it needs to be a community, right,
a community solution.

Speaker 4 (22:46):
A community effort, just like that, just.

Speaker 3 (22:50):
Exactly like we need to all be playing like come
up with a playbook together, like yeah, you know, because yeah,
like you're the one parent sticking to your prince. But
then it's like, you know, your kid does miss out
on certain things because nobody else is playing by that
same playbook.

Speaker 5 (23:06):
It's just it's not it's not good.

Speaker 4 (23:09):
Yeah good.

Speaker 2 (23:10):
So the at the board meeting I was at before
we started this, somebody brought the book up and she
was saying and then like other parents are like, oh,
I'm reading that too, that they're doing it as a
neighborhood book club thing and they're like, like have a
pact to not do the cell phones or whatever, just

(23:32):
to like you know, their group of kids at least
won't have that. But it's it's it's also like also
like the choice, like yes that to get the cell phone.
Like as a parent, I understand like the older and
older they get, the more likely they are to go
to school and have a school shooting or to be
put in a situation where they are uncomfortable for some reason.

(23:55):
And I want them to be able to call me
if they're in danger.

Speaker 3 (24:00):
Well, it's not like there's payphones anymore. It's not exactly
you were kids, Like you know, you just like go
out front and call on the payphone.

Speaker 4 (24:07):
But they flip phone, Like why do we need to
start them with a smart phone?

Speaker 2 (24:12):
Well that well that's that. Alex has a little flip phone,
but he doesn't want to use it anymore because he
can't do anything on it. And Zachary has his Apple
Watch which he can call us from, but like you know,
he hates it because he can't do anything other than that,
so he'll start calling me. At three forty five when
they have like you know, they line up for dismissal
they can't pick me up. He pick me up, And

(24:32):
I'll be like, yeah, at five fifteen, cay pick me up, key,
pick me up. Yeah, I'll see it. Five fifteen. He'll
just call over and over again until I'm like, hey,
I'm not answering anymore.

Speaker 4 (24:46):
Don't cry.

Speaker 9 (24:46):
Well yeah, but anyway, I mean it is tough because
like we like parents nowadays, we don't know how to
keep our kids safe, but also we don't want them
to put in danger like from the digital perspective either,
So it's hard.

Speaker 3 (25:04):
Yeah, it really is. Yeah, it seems like a good
thing for like the Department of Education to be like
doing study you know, like that.

Speaker 2 (25:13):
Just yeah, it seems like an important being abolish action point.

Speaker 5 (25:18):
That we're at right now.

Speaker 3 (25:19):
Yeah, too bad, the part that does all the research
into how kids are learning.

Speaker 7 (25:25):
Yeah, well, they were going to abolish it completely right
last week, and then they realized there was no way
they could do that without abolishing the student loan payment payments,
so they had to.

Speaker 2 (25:35):
Go back to the drawing board, and instead they're just
firing everybody.

Speaker 4 (25:39):
Yep, yeah, yep, sounds about right.

Speaker 2 (25:41):
M hm, sounds about right. Anyway, ding, how's everybody else doing?
How's it all going.

Speaker 4 (25:53):
We're getting by.

Speaker 5 (25:54):
We bought a car.

Speaker 4 (25:55):
Congratulations, that's that's exciting. That's a big thing.

Speaker 5 (25:59):
We figure with a.

Speaker 3 (26:03):
Yeah they will the will they won't they of terror?

Speaker 5 (26:06):
Right, it seems like now.

Speaker 3 (26:08):
Was probably the wisest time and our yea, our sad,
sad clunker of a car was not going to make
it to the end of the year, forget you know,
the next four years.

Speaker 4 (26:19):
So it was let's just do it now. Let's do
it now.

Speaker 6 (26:22):
So, yeah, we spent some money, but it was a
good investment.

Speaker 4 (26:33):
Yeah, we got a hybrid, so like I feel good
about that. Like so, yeah, it was probably a little bit,
but I feel like that felt that felt like the
right choice for us.

Speaker 3 (26:43):
But yeah, you know, forward thinking and you know, keep
keeping our carbon footprint as low as possible exactly.

Speaker 2 (26:53):
Oh hey, speaking of and that got me thinking about
how MAGA is now going to drive a look to vehicles,
which I guess that's fine. I mean, you know, it's
like I'll go for it, truly whatever. Yeah, that's right,
we can.

Speaker 4 (27:08):
We can find common ground.

Speaker 3 (27:10):
Like I'm fine with the like ev being the common ground,
Like that's that's great, great for everybody there were.

Speaker 10 (27:17):
Rebates, you know, yeah, right right, but yeah, yeah, you
see that the picture of Trump holding all the talking
points for and and the prices.

Speaker 4 (27:31):
I mean, you know, it's hard to remember all of
your sales numbers when you're pitching a sale.

Speaker 5 (27:39):
Mm hmm.

Speaker 2 (27:40):
Anyway, yeah again, if if, if you want to own
the libs by all means, get rid of those guest guzzlers. Yep, yeah,
you fifty is old news. It is time to go
get a model.

Speaker 4 (27:52):
Y cyber tuck. The cyber trucks, like, apart from everything else,
I just have to say, they're so fucking ugly.

Speaker 2 (28:03):
They're so ugly because we're in the path of like
the testing, like the because we're right by the Tesla dealership.
So the cyber trucks drive through my neighborhood a couple
of times a day, and I'm just like, still doesn't
look good.

Speaker 3 (28:19):
And I was listening to a podcast today and I
was reminded that I've forgotten that Elon Musk didn't start Tesla.

Speaker 5 (28:27):
He bought it started.

Speaker 2 (28:28):
He's literally starting companies. Yeah, so the cyber truck, every
single one, the cyber.

Speaker 3 (28:33):
Truck is the only thing that the only new design
under his.

Speaker 2 (28:37):
Yeah, Oh, there we go. So that's why it's so ugly.

Speaker 4 (28:40):
That's why it's so gross, because it's like a vision, Yeah,
the actual the car at least, it's not like ugly
to the site.

Speaker 2 (28:49):
No, no, no, it's just you know. Yeah, but like
I think Tesla's are a nice design in general, I
think I think.

Speaker 4 (28:59):
I think they're a nice design. But now when I
see it, I'm like, bar Yeah I was.

Speaker 2 (29:04):
I was behind one today that said bought this car,
love my Tesla, hate the CEO. Sorry, Sandy, No, that's it.

Speaker 4 (29:15):
You know this is eye opening, Amanda. But also non surprise,
right it makes so much Yeah, that does make it
is so fucking but ugly, I mean, but it's also
like you know, naming renaming twitter x just like not
a good idea, very stupid.

Speaker 3 (29:34):
Rich people don't necessarily have good ideas. They don't actually
really have vision necessarily. They just have a lot of
money that they can just like throw things.

Speaker 2 (29:43):
That's exactly it is. The models before the cyber drop,
the Tesla models are S three X Y, which means sexy.

Speaker 5 (29:56):
No, that's.

Speaker 2 (29:58):
No, that's one hundred percent of thing.

Speaker 5 (30:00):
That's really funny.

Speaker 2 (30:01):
Yeah, it's sexy like S e x Y yeah.

Speaker 3 (30:05):
Okay, sense of humor.

Speaker 2 (30:08):
Sense of humor, speaking a sense of humor. All right,
So I am gonna pick like ten of these here,
which will be very quick. Ask Reddit, what you what's
a universally love food that you secretly think is trash?
Anybody out there have any any What does everybody else

(30:28):
love that you hate?

Speaker 4 (30:29):
Bacon?

That's right, Well you're a vegetarian.

Speaker 2 (30:33):

Speaker 2 (30:41):
Yeah, like things that you could eat that are it?
I know I have some. I don't like cake, but
I like frosting like cake. I don't like cake, but
I like frosting like all.

Speaker 3 (30:53):
Right, butter fingers, I don't like butterfingers.

Speaker 4 (30:56):
Butter fingers are not good. Yeahs are the best.

Speaker 2 (30:59):
I how when they get stuck in your teeth it's
like second teast.

Speaker 3 (31:02):
No, it's the touch, it's a weird touch show.

Speaker 2 (31:05):
No, I love it.

Speaker 4 (31:06):
Not great?

Speaker 2 (31:07):
Okay?

Speaker 4 (31:08):
Here like things like like I mean, this is probably
not a hot take, but maybe it is. I don't know.
Most fast food like Taco bell or like on love
it early. But they'll talk a lot about like all
the various fast food things that they like, and I'm sorry,
it's all just very girls.

Speaker 2 (31:26):
All right, that's fair, that's fair, all right. So here
are some of the redded answers. You ready, oh, Amanda,
here you go. Big hamburgers. I do not see the
appeal of the two and a half inch thick slab
of half cooked meats. I mean you just locate my
jaw like a snake to take a bite of. I
haven't a love big hampers. Oh.

Speaker 4 (31:46):
I was gonna say I can get on board with
this because I love hamburgers, but like it like it
doesn't need to I don't want to.

Speaker 2 (31:52):
Feel sick when it doesn't need to be this big.

Speaker 4 (31:54):
It doesn't mean to be huge. Yeah it needs to be. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (31:59):
Any oreo that isn't a flavored oreo, I'm not gonna
lie pack. I take a pack of two as thanks
from the bisco for their unsolicited flavor pulling if they
wanted to change my mind. Uh, Twinkies, why are they
so damn greasy?

Speaker 4 (32:18):
Yeah, twinkies are kind of gross.

Speaker 2 (32:19):
I think twinkies are gross. I don't like any of those.

Speaker 3 (32:22):
I like the like the hostess cupcakes, like the chocolate cupcakes.
I think those are the only ones I really or
the theentimen's like chocolate covered donuts. And I don't even
really like donuts, so donut it's another one.

Speaker 4 (32:34):
I fucking excellent.

Speaker 2 (32:38):
Yeah, I had one for breakfast.

Speaker 3 (32:41):
I mean a good donut, Like sure, I can get behind,
but like they're not like my if I'm gonna have
like a sweet treat, I feel like I don't get
like as excited about donuts as well.

Speaker 2 (32:52):
Culture does you gotta change your thinking you need a
frozen or refrigeratedmen's chocolate donut that those.

Speaker 4 (33:00):
Are great, They're delicious, but like they're not my go to.

Speaker 2 (33:02):
Like I'm just fair enough.

Speaker 3 (33:03):
I feel like there's so many better sweet treats than
a doughnut.

Speaker 4 (33:06):
Fair enough, fair enough, I will say tkies. I don't
know if I've had a twinkie in like thirty years.

Speaker 2 (33:11):
Yeah, there's just no I haven't choice. My kids will
eat them once in a while from Jack and Sydney
or Jay will take one when we're there. I think
they're so gross. Yeah, oh, peepes, I cannot stand peeps.

Speaker 4 (33:24):
Peeps are gross.

Speaker 2 (33:25):
Pe Peeps for the wind, baby, I love stale peeps.
I will open them at the beginning of Easter season
and then wait like a week maybe two. They are.

Speaker 3 (33:40):
That's so gross, But I also love love for you.

Speaker 2 (33:44):
I love them.

Speaker 3 (33:48):
I have a specific place in the kitchen that I
heed them dry out the best there.

Speaker 2 (33:54):
So good. This one I cannot get behind because this
is my favorite cookie cock of rooms. They say they're
just expensive, fancy looking sugar bombs that everyone photographs for Instagram.
Half the time there's stale, and when they're fresh, they're
still just met. I disagree.

Speaker 3 (34:11):
This person has never had a good one.

Speaker 8 (34:12):
Is exactly yeah, yeah, exactly.

Speaker 2 (34:18):
Truffle oil. It smells like a high school locker room,
so pervasive. It'll absolutely ruin food for me, even someone
else at at the table having treffleover room the taste
of my food. I don't mind treble oil like on
French fries, but that's doubt it. That's my limits. Popcorn
truffle popcorn jay does that?

Speaker 4 (34:39):
We love it? I love it. I think popcorn.

Speaker 2 (34:44):
No, we like the pickle uh seasoning on popcorn.

Speaker 4 (34:50):
We did have an extensive We had an extensive popcorn
toppings discussion at one point and somebody and forgive me.
I'm forgetting who sent me like a set of three like.

Speaker 2 (35:02):
It probably was fazing.

Speaker 4 (35:04):
No, I think it was a listener. Oh okay, And
I'm still traditional with my popcorn.

Speaker 2 (35:11):
But that's that's fair. I've never like, I've never been
in the truffle oil there, I don't think, but I
think we talked about this at the start of COVID.
Jay had bought a thing a truffle oil that was
like at Costco or something, and he like he went
a long way with that, but after a while, like
I think he was just like, smell.

Speaker 3 (35:30):
You gotta use it in like a little That's why
I like we use like the truffle powder.

Speaker 2 (35:35):
Jader Joe's is a really good one.

Speaker 3 (35:38):
It's like not stinky.

Speaker 2 (35:39):
Yeah, okay, Twizzlers the candy Twizzlers.

Speaker 4 (35:44):
Fine, like a twizzler.

Speaker 5 (35:45):
Yeah, I mind.

Speaker 3 (35:47):
It's like a good movie candy.

Speaker 2 (35:48):
Yeah, cake cake pops. Yes, twislers are a great movie candy.

Speaker 5 (35:52):
Yeah, cake pops are kind of dumb.

Speaker 3 (35:54):
Would I I would super I would eat one if
someone offered me one. But it's not like kind of
like with it's not like my my go to.

Speaker 2 (36:03):
I feel like there's better treats to be had if
I've ever had, because they're like seventy five dollars and
it's literally just a lollipop of cake.

Speaker 4 (36:14):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (36:14):
So basically what it is like you take cake and
you mix the frosting into the cake so that it
and then you just like make it into like a
meat ball, like a cake ball, and you stick it
on a stick and then you dip it in chocolate
or yeah, white chocolate or some sort of hard hardening coating.

Speaker 2 (36:31):
Yeah, and then you buy it at Starbucks for like
seven dollars, like why bites. Yeah, it's literally the center
of the TOUTSI pop one two cake, that's it. Yeah,
basically it's really everything's computer. So okay, moving on real quick,

(36:53):
we've got chocolate covered strawberries. A texture doesn't work well
together and they're not more than the sum of their parts.
I disagree.

Speaker 4 (37:00):
I disagree.

Speaker 3 (37:03):
That the texture can be weird that like you bite
into it and then like the chocolate immediately settle, like separates.

Speaker 5 (37:09):
From the fruit.

Speaker 2 (37:10):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (37:11):
If you do like.

Speaker 3 (37:14):
Style chocolate on do style is the way to do it.

Speaker 4 (37:16):
Yeah, texture problem and you sell that's the same delicious mix.

Speaker 2 (37:23):
Yeah, same vein red velvet. I like red velvet. I
do too. Peanut butter.

Speaker 4 (37:33):
I love peanut butter, and it's very culturally specific. I
love to remind from that, like if he had grown
up in the US, he would like peanut butter, and
if I, well, no, I mean it's like this weird
thing that if you don't grow up here, you don't,
you know. And if I wouldn't have grown up in
the US, I probably wouldn't like peanut butter either.

Speaker 2 (37:54):
But I don't know. Tastes delicious, But I only person
in my family likes peanut butter. Everybody else hates it. Really,
I don't know, but it's it's cool because I get
to have a peanut butter all to myself.

Speaker 4 (38:09):
That's fair.

Speaker 3 (38:11):
So speaking of like regional or like you know, where
you grew up, things did you guys have, Like marshmallow fluff.

Speaker 5 (38:17):
I love.

Speaker 3 (38:20):
Peanut butter, and fluff sandwiches were like a thing.

Speaker 2 (38:23):
We were talking about it on here. I want to
put fluff in a brownie.

Speaker 5 (38:27):
Ah, that's what she said. Yeah, I feel like that.

Speaker 4 (38:31):
Probably there somewhere.

Speaker 2 (38:33):
There is a joke there. Some marshmallow fluff is delicious.
I used to do the fluff sandwiches.

Speaker 3 (38:40):
Yes, I didn't like it, but like it was definitely
like peanut butter and fluff was.

Speaker 2 (38:43):
Like I loved it. And nutella and fluff too.

Speaker 4 (38:46):
Nutella and everything is good.

Speaker 3 (38:48):
Yeah, I mean similar concept. Yeah, I could see it.

Speaker 2 (38:51):
Okay, let's stop there. That's the next one was buffalo wings.
But I feel like a man is going to hate
that too, so we all know what buffalo.

Speaker 3 (39:01):
You know, I put that on.

Speaker 2 (39:02):
It is good, but this is literally fiddley bones, cartilage,
some weird veins. I love sucking the thin strips of.

Speaker 4 (39:09):
Me really good and like what I don't like and
the celery sticks after like it's all around ten out
of ten. But also so.

Speaker 2 (39:22):
Is it though, I mean you're eating parts of the chicken.

Speaker 5 (39:24):
Yeah, but the chicken going.

Speaker 3 (39:28):
The ground chicken, right, But like for a plate of wings,
like that's X amount of birds.

Speaker 4 (39:35):
I would hope that they ca.

Speaker 5 (39:38):
Yeah, I don't know, chicken. I have questions. I have questions.

Speaker 2 (39:44):
I think that's where the shred.

Speaker 4 (39:45):
I mean, we do not treat our chicken as well
that well there's also I'm not going to claim that,
but yeah.

Speaker 2 (39:53):
Yeah, yeah, we're not like Justice for the chickens here,
but we're talking about how good they taste.

Speaker 11 (39:58):
Okay, let's take away, Greg, can we come back?

Speaker 2 (40:09):
We got a bunch of feedback here we go. All right,
we are back and we are ready to get into
a hell of a lot of feedback, which we love.
So getting started in the Facebook group. John the retired
guy says, got our Getting Lost DVD last week and

(40:31):
watch it over the weekend. Calling did an Next Men
job with her interview. Oh thank you, yeah, good times. Thanks,
Jessica says, yeah, I just this is about our feedback
from the movies last week. Beer bong versus beer funnel?
Is it regional? She said, yeah, I just couldn't remember
the name beer bong. I knew beer funnel was not right,

(40:51):
but I was too lazy to look it up. Again,
not cool enough to go to parties. Plus it not
like most beers, so it's not a term I use.

Speaker 4 (41:00):
Okay, Jessica, I will say two things. Thing one, it's
really not about liking beer. Thing two, you are probably
a better person than me that you couldn't remember the term.
Now that you know we are at the age that
we are like, it doesn't need to be in my vocabulary.
But there it was, so don't feel bad. Prominent part

(41:27):
of my life in high school. So there we go.

Speaker 2 (41:30):
Matt says. One thing calling miss was one of Treehorn's
goons was played by Mark Pillagrenow aka Jacob from Lost,
also Satan from Supernatural, also super Maga. So okay, this
was in The Big Ybowski And that's right. I did
remember seeing him on there. I totally forgot about it.
Then we've got some feedback, some other feedback from Matt.

(41:54):
Phoebe Bridgers named her debut album Stranger in the Alps
after the suck a Stranger.

Speaker 4 (42:03):
This is what happens when you find a stranger in
the Alps. I want that to become like part of
our lingo, Like I want to just start saying that.

Speaker 2 (42:13):
We can do.

Speaker 4 (42:14):
That tells me so much.

Speaker 2 (42:17):
Yeah, you pull it out. You pull it out, and
I'll pull mine out too.

Speaker 4 (42:23):
The kind of thing that you could even, like say,
at work, if somebody at work knew what you were
talking about, and you know it's just hilarious.

Speaker 2 (42:29):
Is what does it? Find a stranger in the Alps.

Speaker 4 (42:31):
Find a stranger in the Alps, A stranger in the Alps.

Speaker 2 (42:35):
We can make it happen.

Speaker 4 (42:36):
Why not?

Speaker 2 (42:38):
I would be remiss in my matt explaining duties if
I didn't mention that before. It can hardly wait. In
Dazing reviews, there was the granddaddy of all one whild
nine teenager movies, American Graffiti.

Speaker 4 (42:48):
Never seen it.

Speaker 2 (42:49):
I've never seen it either.

Speaker 3 (42:50):
I actually never have either. But it's always been. It's
been on my list because for a while I was
gonna do like the AFI Top one hundred.

Speaker 5 (42:57):
I think we did like five movies.

Speaker 3 (43:00):
I feel like, yeah, I remember be a pandemic thing,
and we didn't. We didn't continue it, as with so
many pandemic copies that people picked up and didn't finish.

Speaker 5 (43:10):
And follow through lone.

Speaker 3 (43:11):
But yeah, it's supposed to be a great, great movie.

Speaker 2 (43:14):
We can add it to the Listen, we're down the line. Also,
Matt continues, also, if you remade Dazing Abuse today and
said it as far back as Days and Confused was
from its original release, it would take place in two
thousand and eight.

Speaker 4 (43:26):
I don't know how much I like that. Why you
say these mean things to us?

Speaker 2 (43:33):
It's wild.

Speaker 4 (43:35):
Yeah, that is insane, that's crazy.

Speaker 2 (43:39):
Colin was asking why there are the ads for the
fourth of July, before even Memorial Day. This was days confused.
He said, My best guess is that it's because it
was the by centennial.

Speaker 4 (43:48):
Yeah. Yeah, And they talk about that in the history class,
and the teacher I was like, and when you're out,
everyone's giving you this bus and tell you all shit.
Just remember because a bunch of why guys didn't want
to pick of their taxes hasn't changed.

Speaker 2 (44:06):
Yeah, seriously, I know there's a they stay the same
tax sheets joke in there somewhere. Oh my god.

Speaker 4 (44:14):
Yeah.

Speaker 12 (44:19):
Uh.

Speaker 2 (44:19):
I kind of was asking, oh no, there's another Don
Phillips cast, another movie that Don Phillips cast. Uh, that's
the guy that cast and he's a guest. Mallrats that
may Yeah, Jeremy London isn't the only cast member who's
a twin. Cynthia the Redhead is played by Marissa Rabbisi,
Giovanni Ribisi's twin sister. Giovannibisi was in Friends, Correct and

(44:42):
a lot of other things. She was also married to Beck.
As you may have guessed, she's a scientologist.

Speaker 4 (44:48):
Stens do not come in. That's a bummer, But I
suppose that checks out.

Speaker 2 (44:53):
And then I highly recommend link link Laters before trilogy.
All of them are wonderful. I even have the car
Tia set. Okay, why don't we like you know, sorry?
Criterion said, let's uh yeah, not right now, but let's
figure out time to talk about those. Then I'm down.

Speaker 3 (45:12):
Yeah, I've always wanted to see them and I just
never have gotten around to it.

Speaker 2 (45:16):
Let's do it, Okay, to be to be determined. When
TVD all right got some food from food for thought
from God, uh, he says. My high school years were
eighty two to eighty six. There were a lot of
It was a lot familiar in days to confuse. First,
the soundtrack was incredible. I can't argue that truly the

(45:39):
soundtrack of my pre of my young pre high school years.
The address was very similar to how we dressed when
I was in high school. There was some hazy yeah,
oh my god, we need pictures.

Speaker 5 (45:50):
Pictures.

Speaker 4 (45:53):
Uh.

Speaker 2 (45:53):
There was some hazing, but it was more of the
cool kids picking on the not so cool, which I
am age is still around in some form or another.
Think the Breakfast Club eighty five, which really reflected how
we segmented our cells, segmented ourselves in the eighties. Smoking
cigarettes was everywhere. Back then, my first three years of
high school, there was actually a student smoking area.

Speaker 4 (46:16):
That is crazy.

Speaker 2 (46:19):
When I was a senior, they ended that, but we
had opened an open campus and we go across the street.

Speaker 4 (46:24):
Across the street.

Speaker 2 (46:26):
It was fun to watch a world I recall with
no cell phones, someone recall from the cell phones, and
then he links us to a Reddit post. Okay, you
want to lead us through it, Chenny.

Speaker 4 (46:43):
Yeah, okay, so this is the This post is about
repeated lines in The Big Lebowski.

Speaker 2 (46:50):
Okay, and.

Speaker 4 (46:54):
If my phone will open it. This is something that
I hadn't really like, I'd noticed it without like noticing it.
I guess repetition in The Big Lebowski. So this poster
Jackson Heights Own goes on to say, to explain someone
a few weeks ago asked about repetition in The Big Lebowski.
Each time I watched, my mind as typically limber, so

(47:14):
I don't always remember specific I feel.

Speaker 2 (47:19):
That's so hard. Yeah, the first few times that I
watched this movie.

Speaker 4 (47:24):
But below are the most interesting examples of repetition in
the movie. In my opinion, I'm not including what I
would consider normal repetition. Blah blah, blah okay. So here
we go the examples. This depression will not stand. First,
said by George Bush on TV in the very first scene.

(47:45):
Yeah yeah, repeated by the Dude in his first meeting
with mister Lebowski. Opening lines of movies are often important,
and I've always wondered if there was a political commentary
with this line, particularly as I've always thought of mister
Lebowski as a symbol for the right wing. And he
looks a bit like Dick Cheney, who was Bush's secretary
of Defense. Totally he does. He totally looks so much.

(48:09):
Yeah okay. Next one, Oh my god, Yes, without the
necessary means for a necessary means for a the only
example of a single person repeating themselves that I think
is interesting. It sounds so unnatural. I wonder if the
Coen Brothers wanted to hammer home the point that repetition

(48:31):
was a theme in this movie. Next one, in the
parlance of our time, said first by Maud, repeated by
the Dude. I always thought this was interesting because of
the timing element of the movie. This is a historical
movie about an event that took place sixty seven years prior,
but with an Old West element. Ah yeah abide first

(48:54):
said by mister Lebowski in the limo I will not
abide another toe And at the end of the movie
the Dude and the Stranger, the dude divides the movie.
The movie basically begins and ends with repetition. That's how
the whole uh darned human comedy keeps perpetuating self with that,
with that accent the whole or okay, the next one

(49:17):
gold Bricken said by the police chief, said by the
police chef in Malibu, and then by Walter in the
showdown at mister Zlowski's mansion. Interesting because this is not
a typical term, and it's one of the few examples
of repetition in the movie where the repeating character did
not actually hear the words being said earlier by the
initial speaker. M variations on fucking in the ass or

(49:41):
finding a stranger in the Alps, if you will, This
wouldn't be that interesting because the term is not that unique.
But I think it's worth noting that Walter says this
is what happens when you fuck a stranger in the
ass a bunch of times, and then the tall German
Nihilis says, I fuck you, and the ass about ten
times in the fight scene. Not sure what it means,

(50:03):
but humorous. Next one is killing my slash your car,
said by Larry's neighbor after Walter destroys his car, repeated
by the dude when the Nihilist sits his car on fire.
Killing your car is not something people typically say, so
I always think it's sort of amusing that the dude
repeats it. And to finish us off Johnson said by Mad,

(50:26):
repeated by the dude, repeated by the Nihilist, we cut
off your Johnson. Anyway, that was super fun. Thank you, Got.
I really enjoyed. I was reading. Also, sometimes I forget
about the age difference between us and Got, and then
he reminds us and he knows that he was literally

(50:48):
in high school and we were born. So there you go.
A generation that is crazy.

Speaker 2 (50:56):
Shit, you're old, Got. I'm just kidding.

Speaker 4 (51:03):
I'm just kidding.

Speaker 2 (51:07):
I got targeted. Added a post on Instagram for some
reason that was like, fifty isn't middle age. The average
age lifespan of America is now seventy six, so you're
middle ages thirty eight, And I was like, wait, no, wait,
wait what like I gotta like net anyway, we've got

(51:31):
we got a couple of emails. Uh, let's start with
uh some more movie feedback from Brian the DP Specialist.

Speaker 3 (51:40):
All right, Brian the DP Specialist says, Hey, ladies, hope
you're all well. I'm writing from my bunker in Kentucky,
surrounded by musical instruments, albums, and coffee and a snoring
dog that sounds heavenly, Yes it does. Big Lebowski is
amazing fun ride with offbeat characters sucked into a chain

(52:03):
reaction of odd events. Rugs, bawling, montages, medicinal herbs, untreated PTSD,
Sam Elliott, and glorious profanity, hilarious with a touch of
sweetness and menace.

Speaker 2 (52:16):
Oh oh, before we move on, because this reminds me
connections on Monday, it was or yesterday, it was Big Lebowski.
That was the like it was. It was no, I
swear to god, I was gonna tell everybody to do it.
It was rugs, white, uh white, Russian, uh shit, uh

(52:36):
bathrobe and what was the other one? But it was
so funny, falling, It was falling. But it was so
funny because I, like I kept telling my kids last week,
I was like, I gotta watch these movies. Can't hang
out with you. I gotta go watch the movie. And
then yesterday morning we were doing Connections. I was like,

(52:57):
oh my god, I know this one, this movie. I
had to watch the show last week. Anyway, I was
super excited, but Ryan his email reminded me of that. Okay, sorry, amazing.

Speaker 3 (53:11):
No, that was a wonderful that was worth the break.
That was great, Amanda. You are correct, as I often am.

Speaker 4 (53:19):
Not just kidding, I'm really correct.

Speaker 3 (53:22):
Link letter is amazing. The art design of his movies
are an important character and a storytelling. Dazed and Confused
is on the cusp of my high school experience. It's
very similar, but not identical to my experience. I think
the social struggles of high school at that time did
help me find myself. Many of my friends from high
school were made. We're made in band and our friends

(53:45):
to this day. I love that we may have used
medicinal herbs. On the ride to school. We listened to
Public Enemy and NWA to piss off the small minded racists,
Prince and George Michael to annoy the homophobes. While I'm
not sure if it was great for everyone, I think
standing up to those folks prepared me to be the

(54:06):
fear to be fearless in my future career.

Speaker 4 (54:08):
Yep, snaps for that.

Speaker 3 (54:10):
Although there was bullying and ignorance, the degree of potential
violence was less than kids less than kids face today.

Speaker 4 (54:18):
That is very true.

Speaker 3 (54:20):
No one flourished weapons. I believe kids today are way
meaner to their peers, but only because they have twenty
four seven access to each other on their smart devices. True,
we had time to regulate our emotions in the evenings
and weekends and the way kids don't today.

Speaker 4 (54:38):
That is also very true.

Speaker 3 (54:40):
Just the thought of an old dude, Just the thoughts
of an old dude who is part who was partially
dazed and confused. Whyse wise words, I would say, hang
in there, we will survive. No kings, no knees, bend,
fight the power until we win. Hate never, love always
though one and only DP Special and honorary Broad Scroll

(55:03):
down to the next page. Brian, PS, my friend is a.

Speaker 5 (55:08):
Dudeas a minister.

Speaker 2 (55:09):
What and he.

Speaker 3 (55:10):
Performed the wedding of our buddy's son a few months ago.
Oh my gosh, I know everything about that, the dude
of Byes.

Speaker 4 (55:18):
That's awesome, Oh, Brian, It's so good. To hear from you.

Speaker 5 (55:22):
I know what a what a healing balm that email was.
We needed that, Thank you friends.

Speaker 2 (55:28):
Yes, I actually, in the midst of all this king
shit spoke to Brian the non DPEA specialist recently, which
Jay was actually was like, hey, how is a how's
he doing? And I was like, ship that's I was like,
you're right, I'm such a terrible friend when we text him, so, uh, Brian,

(55:50):
non DP specialist, that text was actually h Jay's initiative.
They're hanging in still still employed for now and.

Speaker 4 (56:00):
Uh also in a bunker.

Speaker 12 (56:02):
Yeah anyway, yes DP Brian, which actually you are the
perfect person to say, find a stranger in the Alps,
because you know.

Speaker 4 (56:19):
Brian, please write us back and let us know what
happens when you find a stranger in the Alps. We're
just we're dying.

Speaker 2 (56:26):
To know you here. You're the specialist from that, You're
the Alps specialist.

Speaker 4 (56:33):
You're the Alp pinist.

Speaker 2 (56:36):
Stop that. I want to spit tea out of everywhere.
Now it's not expecting that one.

Speaker 13 (56:43):
Okay, all right, next up, we've got an email.

Speaker 2 (56:54):
So well here's what we got. We got an email
from Jamie. We got Andy update. We got some uh,
we got some matter, she said, and then we're all
going the fuck to sleep. Amanda and I are dying
right now. Here we go, Jamie, Oh, I can do it.
It's been a while since I've talked. Just kidding me. No,

(57:21):
I'll do the Andy update. I've never done a Nandy update,
so it's okay, yeah, okay.

Speaker 4 (57:28):
So Jamie Joe writes in self Care. So we are
at the five year anniversary of the COVID shenanigans, which got.

Speaker 2 (57:36):
Me thinking March eleven, that's crazy.

Speaker 4 (57:40):
Remember during COVID there was the thing where everyone would
howl at seven pm. Everyone would open the front door
and howl. My kids kind of got into that for
a little while. There was there are a few people
in our neighborhood who joined in. So here are Martha.

Speaker 2 (57:56):
We banged pots, Yeah, the pots. Yeah, it's got to
be a Midwest thing. Okay, yeah, So here are my thoughts.

Speaker 4 (58:05):
What if we brought that back, but instead of howling,
we just open our front door and just start rage,
screaming into the void. Lmao. I mean, it's a start
seven every night and let's have at it anyway. I
really hope you are taking time each day for self care,
go for a walk, eat a snacky poke, out a

(58:26):
mud puddle with a stick, whatever it takes. I myself
have been visiting myself with a million and one Survivor
episodes each week, sprucing up the storm shelter and adopting
straight cats. It passes the time between the panic attacks.
All jokes aside, keep breathing. Our ancestors got us this far.
We can do hard things, love y'all. Jamie Joe, we

(58:49):
can do hard things. You can do hard things.

Speaker 3 (58:51):
You did a great job of like capturing the cadence
of how Jamie Joe speaks. I know, I just have
to say that it was like she was reading at
her self.

Speaker 4 (59:00):
It was a very we are one, and we are
one and the same.

Speaker 2 (59:04):
Andy Joe and Jamie Joe. They've they've merged. They merged,
which we actually we need to do. We need to
pick a date that time where we're gonna do our
uh patrons thing to to kick off the season. Definitely
okay without John love it, it'll be a lot quicker
this year. And I promised, But now that Shandy has

(59:27):
seen the first two, yep, yeah, yeah, maybe yeah, We're
not gonna talk about it now because it's really fucking late,
but we should talk about it on a Patron show.
I'll text you guys while I'm editing. We'll figure it out. Okay, Yeah,
but you you did. I also thought like you did
a good Jamie impression.

Speaker 4 (59:48):
Well, thank you.

Speaker 2 (59:49):
Yeah, you're welcome just.

Speaker 4 (59:51):
Changing channelling her.

Speaker 5 (59:53):
You were just like channeling.

Speaker 2 (59:54):
Her her vibe, Jamie, you rational as always. Yeah, uh,
thank you. Yeah again. Jamie was there for me when
I called her hysterically crying the day after the election,
and she's an hour behind me, so you know, kudos. Yeah,

(01:00:20):
Jamie's actually doing like the good Lord's work. If you
want to find a meme to post on, like line anywhere,
Jamie's posting them on her Facebook feed like literally daily.
So thank you, Jamie. Though we can do hard things,
we can do hard thing we can not. Everything is
computer not yet.

Speaker 4 (01:00:43):
We're not not yet anyway.

Speaker 2 (01:00:48):
Okay. And then finally I'm gonna do my first Andy
by Andy Cherry. I think Andy says, hey, Bron's well
for the nth week in a row. I can't put
have sex on my list of things I did, although
I can write, can I write your mom and send
it to Elon and big balls hashtag I'm with hers. Andy,

(01:01:11):
you can certainly put your mom you you did want
to get a new job. That's a fast track, baby.
If you sending big balls, he actually might offer you one.
Uh Andy, keep fighting the good fight, all right? And
now we've got a mass What she said?

Speaker 3 (01:01:29):
Oh wait, crap, I just exed out of the I
forgot we had to do that whole time.

Speaker 5 (01:01:32):
I exed out of the outline.

Speaker 4 (01:01:33):
Let me come.

Speaker 2 (01:01:35):
That is totally okay. I was like, we're down, We're not.

Speaker 4 (01:01:40):
Actually, we've got a that's what she said. And it's

Speaker 2 (01:01:44):
It's a deep it is a DP.

Speaker 4 (01:01:46):
Okay, I'm back in all right. This is my ninth
time he's been in things.

Speaker 2 (01:01:54):
What's let this guy back in? And now sounds like
a Debbie Downer.

Speaker 4 (01:02:03):
He's why we're here.

Speaker 5 (01:02:04):
They're not out for the season yet.

Speaker 2 (01:02:08):
We're doing it next week for certain.

Speaker 4 (01:02:10):
We got a couple to wind it up. Can I
do it too?

Speaker 2 (01:02:14):
Please send them to us, Andy.

Speaker 4 (01:02:17):
Sometimes those are the best.

Speaker 3 (01:02:19):
And a bonus round of Matt's what she said from
the big Lebowski Oo, it's down there somewhere.

Speaker 4 (01:02:28):
Let me have another look.

Speaker 5 (01:02:31):
Go ahead.

Speaker 4 (01:02:32):
Oh sorry, that was out of order. You okay, you're
out of order.

Speaker 2 (01:02:38):
You really wanted to say that one.

Speaker 4 (01:02:39):
It's fine. No, no, no, go ahead.

Speaker 2 (01:02:43):
You want the next one, it's even better.

Speaker 4 (01:02:45):
Go ahead, blow. I can't blow that far.

Speaker 5 (01:02:50):
They're not blowing.

Speaker 2 (01:02:55):
Is this like from the movie or is this US?
I have no idea this is from the movie, okay,
because I don't remember this exchange. Okay, I'd love it
if you came and gave me notes.

Speaker 4 (01:03:09):
I grabbed one and beat it out of him.

Speaker 2 (01:03:11):
There was no bottom, a lot of inns, a lot
of oats.

Speaker 4 (01:03:19):
This is what happens when you suck a stranger early out.

Speaker 5 (01:03:27):
It was very natural.

Speaker 2 (01:03:29):
So that was exciting.

Speaker 4 (01:03:33):
There already are provisions for different uses.

Speaker 3 (01:03:36):
Does American Lumber even want this?

Speaker 2 (01:03:40):
Oh shit?

Speaker 4 (01:03:40):
Was that US?

Speaker 2 (01:03:41):
Or was that the show?

Speaker 4 (01:03:43):
But I think it was all the show and we
said a lot of lines on the shows.

Speaker 2 (01:03:46):
Yeah, well, I did look up the answer to the
American Lumber thing. When then we were talking about cutting
down the all the two hundred eighty million acres. So
the reason that that's preserved is the majority of the
wood from the national forests is not good lumber wood anyway.
So it's literally it's literally just fucking clearing the forest

(01:04:09):
to get like, you know, the twenty five percent of wood.
That's good because we are in the worst goddamn timeline.

Speaker 4 (01:04:15):
Stick it to the list.

Speaker 2 (01:04:17):
Yeah, libs, I'm a lib. I'm owned. Can we stop
this now?

Speaker 5 (01:04:21):
Owned?

Speaker 2 (01:04:24):
You win? You win.

Speaker 5 (01:04:25):
Stop destroying the planet now, Pete, thank.

Speaker 2 (01:04:27):
You, you win, your your electric vehicle. You got me.

Speaker 4 (01:04:35):
We have to figure out a reverse psychology way for
them to care about all the things that we care about.

Speaker 2 (01:04:40):
So somebody on Twitter was like, now can we get
can liberals start protesting books? So Maga accidentally discovered it. Okay, anyway,
I'd have to research to see if I could do that.

Speaker 4 (01:05:01):
Oh, this prep's really good.

Speaker 3 (01:05:04):
It's gonna blow on one of them.

Speaker 2 (01:05:07):
It was sixty nine because I took note of that.
Uh okay, I definitely said that.

Speaker 4 (01:05:12):
Okay, there's a yearning for it.

Speaker 3 (01:05:18):
I've never done any of them.

Speaker 2 (01:05:21):
I can take this one.

Speaker 4 (01:05:22):
I just had to get that in somehow.

Speaker 3 (01:05:25):
Shall we move on to Matt's Nah, I'm.

Speaker 2 (01:05:30):
Just a we did it. We gotta throw all the feedback.

Speaker 4 (01:05:35):

Love it.

Oh my goodness, busy week.

Speaker 2 (01:06:17):
It's a busy week. Shit, I'm gonna have to go back.
And I'm so tired. It's after eleven, very tired. I
had a board meeting right before this yesterday. I had
to take this class to help volunteer in Alex's religion classroom.
And it was this online course from the diocese and

(01:06:38):
it was all about sexual abuse and like and physical abuse,
and it was fucking nuts. It was two and a
half hours. You had to take tests and like it
was all dudes that were running it, and they were
like like everything was like, you know, this big surprise,
like and I realized, like I was like, oh my god.
They were talking to people that probably do live in

(01:06:58):
an echo chamber. We're like, they've never heard any of
this information. At some point.

Speaker 4 (01:07:03):
Was the reason? Were they like, the reason you have
to take this is because our church has a really
bad one.

Speaker 2 (01:07:08):
They actually did talk They did in the beginning talk
about talking about Yeah, like clergy was at the start,
but then it moved into family because you're supposed to
be like volunteering in the classroom and and you know,
blah blah blah. But they did start with clergy in
the beginning, but it was it was like at one
point like I literally like took one headphone out and
like started watching TV. Then I'm pretty sure I still

(01:07:32):
got one hundred on each quiz. Oh yeah, that was
like this is nothing new anyway. All right, good night, everybody,
Thanks for playing, Thanks for listening. It's always a pleasure.
