Speaker 1 (00:00):
You didn't ask for it, but you need to hear it.
Hot Takes, a wild breakup, and a disgusting dog. Today,
we're going to say what needs to be said, even
if no one asked. She is Rebecca Black, I am
Dan O'Malley and this is unsolicited fair warning to those
that are queasy stomached. The video I'm about to show
(00:23):
you is both shocking and disturbing. Viewer discretion is strongly advised.
Speaker 2 (00:41):
Wow, oh, did you see the toenail fly?
Speaker 3 (00:59):
I did see the toenail fly.
Speaker 1 (01:01):
That is one of the most disgusting things I have
ever seen in my life.
Speaker 3 (01:05):
Thank you for sending it to me, Rebecca.
Speaker 2 (01:07):
You're absolutely welcome. I just for those of you who
are listening and maybe can't see the video, that is
a dog biting toenails of its owner.
Speaker 1 (01:16):
And not just sort of haphazardly, but very specifically, because
the entirety of that was him gnawing down the big toenail. Yeah,
and then right near the end after he shakes his
head and that's when you see.
Speaker 3 (01:31):
The toenail floot.
Speaker 1 (01:32):
That's when we see the toenail flip flip fly fly.
Speaker 2 (01:39):
And it literally flew like as if you were clipping
your own toenails. Like, have you ever had you had
a rogue toenail? Oh?
Speaker 1 (01:45):
Yeah, it looks like it looks like it looks like
it it looks like I can't talk. Uh, it looks
like a SpaceX rocket shooting off.
Speaker 3 (01:52):
Yes, yes, that's.
Speaker 2 (01:53):
Exactly what this dog did. He was able to somehow
get it off and then make.
Speaker 3 (01:57):
It fly, and he went right back to it to
the next toe.
Speaker 2 (02:02):
First of all, I have a lot of questions here.
Do we just not have shame anymore? Is there no
shame in this world or on the internet? What do
you mean meaning like, Oh, first of all, magically, if
I somehow figured out that my dog could eat my
toenails off, do you think I'm going to post that
(02:22):
on social media? No, my answer is no, that's a
secret I'm gonna keep to myself forever. I don't even
know that I'm gonna tell my significant other that the
dog can magically eat my toenails off. But then you
have this man.
Speaker 4 (02:37):
Here who is perfectly fine with just letting it all
out there, letting everybody in the whole wide world know
that his dog goes to town on his toenails.
Speaker 3 (02:51):
On one hand. I'm just glad that it's just as
toenails as far as we know.
Speaker 2 (02:56):
But I again, this is where I question things like
if he's doing the toenails, what else is going on?
Speaker 1 (03:01):
Because if he's willing to post the toenail terrier, what's
he not posting exactly?
Speaker 2 (03:09):
Again, like this poor dog, it's not his fault. Like,
can we call peta on this situation?
Speaker 3 (03:15):
So this is weird.
Speaker 1 (03:17):
So this is a great question because there are many
many instances where harm has come to an animal and
there needs to be someone or some group to step
in for the.
Speaker 3 (03:30):
Care of the animal.
Speaker 2 (03:31):
Agreed.
Speaker 1 (03:32):
There are situations though, where animals really do thrive with
having a job.
Speaker 2 (03:38):
No, you are not about to say that this dog
is like somehow serving his purpose. This is his corporate
nine to five.
Speaker 3 (03:47):
Shut up, Dan of just saying he doesn't seem to
hate it.
Speaker 2 (03:54):
Okay, I will give you that, But what did it
take to get him to this port, Because you know
there had to be some training of all. This dude
probably smothered his feet in peanut butter to get the
dog to like do his thing.
Speaker 1 (04:11):
Yeah, I'm choosing not to believe that part.
Speaker 2 (04:16):
Okay, So you're choosing that this is the dog's idea,
like the dog is the one that came up with
us on his own.
Speaker 1 (04:23):
I'm basically creating a narrative that can have me stomach
watching the video at all.
Speaker 2 (04:31):
But that's sad. That's what we have to do now.
We have to create a scenario in which it's okay
for us to be viewing this kind of disgusting, shameful
content online.
Speaker 3 (04:41):
And when we soak it up or we eat it up,
just like the dog is with those toenails. Oh that's
pretty good.
Speaker 1 (04:52):
I don't know if I've ever had so many dry
heaves in the beginning of a show.
Speaker 2 (04:55):
Bro. I am the dry heavingest person on the planet.
It takes very little for me to gag.
Speaker 1 (05:02):
Very little fifteen year old me had to run in
with some Crown Royal and some coatine and Arizona iced tea.
That might call you out a little bit. That was
an hour and a half straight of dry heaving at
six am that I will never forget.
Speaker 2 (05:23):
No, here's my thing I have like, I feel like
I have such empathy that I can I can put
myself in a position of just being able to smell
vomit or something like that, and it immediately makes me
dry heave.
Speaker 1 (05:38):
It's fascinating because I think I've kind of grown out
of that.
Speaker 3 (05:42):
I still remember.
Speaker 1 (05:43):
This is amazing, And this is one of the reasons
why my wife looks at me like the RCAA dog
at times, because I have a horrible memory with many things,
but some things, my memory is so specific and spectacular, right.
Speaker 3 (05:59):
It would floor you.
Speaker 2 (06:00):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (06:00):
Example, I still remember when I was five years old kindergarten.
It's the group trip to the bathroom. Right, girls go
to their potty, the boys go to ours. In my
in my kid.
Speaker 2 (06:15):
Already smell this scenario, by the.
Speaker 3 (06:17):
Way, not like I can.
Speaker 2 (06:20):
Well, yeah, because you had first hand experience, but I
can already put myself in your position.
Speaker 1 (06:25):
Well, you're gonna hate this story, then I hate you, Dan,
because not only are you going to relive this memory
with me, you're gonna smell it. So there I am,
five years old, kindergarten, boys bathroom on the group trip. Oh,
I'm turning around from the urinal when other Danny. There
(06:46):
were two of us in this class. I was Danny one,
Danny Prime, and then there was Danny number two.
Speaker 3 (06:53):
Yeah, ironically, because I.
Speaker 2 (06:55):
Know it was no pun intended.
Speaker 1 (07:00):
I turn around from the urinal and Danny number two
comes out of the stall, pants around his ankles and
poopy smeared.
Speaker 3 (07:07):
All over his backside. I remember this so well. I
can still see the finger swipes in stop swear to
God around his butt. He comes out of that stall
and he's asking for the teacher to help clean him up,
and I am wedding.
Speaker 2 (07:27):
I'm sweating. Dan.
Speaker 3 (07:30):
You think you're sweating, imagine what that teacher had to do.
Speaker 2 (07:33):
I this is when I'm like, teachers do not get
paid enough, especially if you're like a kindergarten or a
first grade teacher, and you end up having to go
and not only just wipe some poor kids butt because
for whatever reason, they don't know how to do it correctly,
but now you've got to be the maid too, and
you have to clean up the freaking walls.
Speaker 1 (07:52):
You know, That's something that I never learned. I don't
know that part of the story because I only saw
what was wiped all over his backside and him calling
out for help from the teacher to come in and help.
Speaker 3 (08:02):
I never went in the stall to see what that
looked like.
Speaker 2 (08:06):
You know, it was explosive.
Speaker 3 (08:08):
It probably looked like the bathroom and Desperado.
Speaker 2 (08:10):
It had to have had to of yeh.
Speaker 1 (08:16):
Anyway, who's more disgusting in this scenario, the dog or
the dude who's letting the dog eat his toenails?
Speaker 2 (08:25):
I mean, I gotta go with the dude here. I
think he's the disgusting one to allow that to happen.
It's not the dog's fault. Dogs are primal. They don't
have like the human instinct or like, you know, the
code of which we live by the human man.
Speaker 3 (08:40):
Does is supposed to anyway.
Speaker 2 (08:45):
Yeah, so like, where have we gone wrong?
Speaker 1 (08:50):
Well, the code that we all live by is now
in shards on that guy's rub next to his toenails.
We are back to unsolicited time now for am I
the A hole? This is a great one, Rebecca, And
(09:11):
this is one that is for the ages.
Speaker 3 (09:14):
Oh okay, maybe the Jurassic ages. Uh?
Speaker 2 (09:19):
Oh? Dinos h.
Speaker 1 (09:24):
A man went viral for asking Reddit, am I the
A hole? Because he broke up with his girlfriend because
she doesn't believe in dinosaurs?
Speaker 2 (09:35):
Uh? All right, I need I need more to the story.
Speaker 3 (09:39):
I will do what I can.
Speaker 1 (09:40):
A twenty six year old man made headlines on social
forums after breaking up with his girlfriend of six months
over an irreconcilable clash in core beliefs, specifically her I'm.
Speaker 2 (09:51):
Sorry, hold on, dinosaurs is a core belief? Hang on, sorry,
I literally like him, like, I don't know that that's
anyone core belief.
Speaker 1 (10:01):
No, no, this it is an important question you ask,
because this is this is this is what drove a
wedge into this relationship.
Speaker 2 (10:09):
Is this ross Geller from friends?
Speaker 1 (10:12):
It sounds like it could be. A twenty six year
old man made headlines after breaking up with his girlfriend
of six months over an irreconcilable clash and core beliefs,
specifically her rejection of evolution and the scientific age of
the planet. She insisted that Earth is only six thousand
(10:35):
years old and that dinosaurs were a myth. This is
all rooted in her religious upbringing.
Speaker 3 (10:41):
She's not alone. I've heard of this before.
Speaker 2 (10:44):
I have to.
Speaker 1 (10:44):
We live in Texas, more specifically North Texas, the land
of churches. This is not the first time we have
heard of people and this core belief.
Speaker 2 (10:54):
I will tell you not to commandeer the story here,
but when I was growing up, it was very widely
believed among my friends that dinosaurs were not a real thing.
And then I remember my dad taking me to I
think it's Glenrose in Texas where you can actually see
like the dinosaur footprints. Yeah yeah, And I like, I
was like, how is it My parents are like hip
(11:15):
with the dinos, and like nobody else's are. It was like,
it was definitely a Christian thing.
Speaker 3 (11:21):
It's a weird thing to be stuck around a bunch
of idiots.
Speaker 2 (11:26):
And why do we have museums devoted to dinosaurs that
they are real?
Speaker 1 (11:31):
Like why, that's that's just an imagination place. Okay, yeah,
but I too have experience of being surrounded by morons.
Third grade, I had just moved to Texas and went
to a school in Dallas and the teacher called it
boys Idaho. I looked around. Oh no, I looked around.
(11:56):
I looked around at everyone else in the class, and
I'm like, that's that's that's not right. So I raised
my hand. I'm in the back of the class and
she calls on me and she's like yes and said,
isn't it boisy idaho? On queue the entire class all
their heads spin and look directly at me and all
(12:18):
start screaming you it's boys. I went home and told
my mom, and then I was transferred to private school.
Speaker 2 (12:25):
God bless your parents. Yeah, boys, Idaoh that was from
the teacher. She's obviously had never been outside of her
own little city.
Speaker 3 (12:39):
It's Dallas.
Speaker 2 (12:41):
How can you You can't be from Dallas and not
know it's boisy?
Speaker 3 (12:45):
Well, I have a story that refutes you.
Speaker 1 (12:48):
And not only that, but she also couldn't do certain
three digit math problems.
Speaker 3 (12:54):
So there wasn't an isolated incident.
Speaker 1 (12:56):
There were a few, and then by the end of
that semester, my mom's like, you're not going to that
school next year.
Speaker 2 (13:01):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (13:03):
Anyway, back to our dino breakup. So the girlfriend insisted
the planet is only six thousand years old and that
dinosaurs are a myth, which was rooted in her religious upbringing.
While he initially tried to overlook the difference, I don't
know how, he later realized it posed too great of
a divide, like the continental especially when considering the future
(13:26):
of raising children. Yeah, that'll throw a RNE into some stuff.
Speaker 3 (13:29):
Absolutely.
Speaker 1 (13:30):
In his explanation, he said the breakup was not about
winning an argument, it was about long term compatibility. He
knew raising kids with conflicting worldviews on science education and
critical thinking could lead to confusion and conflict. Despite hoping
she might be open to different perspectives, he concluded that
mutual respect does not always guarantee shared values, and sometimes
(13:52):
love just isn't enough to bridge a fundamental gap.
Speaker 2 (13:56):
I mean, he couldn't just let the kids grow up
and decide on their own if dinosaurs are or not.
Speaker 1 (14:02):
Okay, look, I'm big on self discovery, but they're just.
Speaker 3 (14:08):
There are just some things you're gonna know as a child.
Speaker 2 (14:11):
Yeah, I agree. At first, I was kind of I
was gonna I was gonna hate on this dude, I
really was. I was like, really, you can't look past
the whole dino thing. But when he starts getting into
the fact that, like how we're going to raise our kids,
and I'm like, and then I started thinking about flat
earthers and how I can never date a flat earther. So, yeah,
this is a fundamental piece of knowledge I think you
need to know, and I think you need to be
(14:33):
on board with the dinosaurs.
Speaker 3 (14:34):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (14:35):
So I've been married so long that I never really
got into the whole online dating thing. I've never used
tender for its purpose. I've I mean, i've I've taken
a drug.
Speaker 2 (14:46):
Oh okay, Oh hold on, what have you been using
tender for there, Bud?
Speaker 1 (14:50):
Well, if you get drunken around me and you have
Tender on your phone, I'm gonna swipe on some folks.
Speaker 2 (14:54):
Same I will do.
Speaker 1 (14:56):
And one particular night at a bar with one of
our friends, my wife and I played matchmaker for him.
Speaker 2 (15:03):
Is that not the greatest thing in the world. I
love playing matchmaker for people on Tender or Bubble or wherever.
Speaker 1 (15:09):
It's so much fun. And I say that because I've
only been able to do it once.
Speaker 2 (15:13):
Well, hold on, it's fun because it isn't you, oh
somebody else? So who cares if I swipe on somebody?
That's awful? Oh not my problem?
Speaker 1 (15:21):
Yeah that I'm still going to be entertained by it,
just like watching a television show. Now, the problem is is,
once he told everyone what we did, everyone sort of
locking their phones around us.
Speaker 3 (15:31):
Smart on their part.
Speaker 1 (15:33):
Yeah yeah, but this this does bring up an important
thing that you need to start asking people for your
long term compatibility. Maybe you have to start putting this
type of stuff in your timber Timber Jesus in your
tender and your Bumble profile hinge. Whatever your future may
(15:53):
hinge on whether or not you are interested in dating
a dino denier, or if, like religion is going to
play a massive factor type of situation, or like you
even mentioned flat earthers, you want to know ahead of
time before you even start messaging someone if they happen
to be a flat earther, if they happen to be
(16:15):
a dinosaur denier, are they someone who doesn't.
Speaker 3 (16:18):
Believe in the moon landing or things like this?
Speaker 2 (16:22):
Right? I would think though, like, aren't there when you
get onto these apps, isn't there like a whole questionnaire
that you ask so that it makes sure it's putting
kind of the right mental equivalency in front of you.
Isn't there a questionnaire that happens?
Speaker 3 (16:37):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (16:38):
And I remember I've done this for friends before. We
did it as a radio bit years ago. I remember
filling out a whole match profile for a friend of mine.
We used it on air, and it just got weird
after a while because then it was just me messaging
on his behalf and I was like, this is weird.
Speaker 3 (16:53):
I'm done. You do this or don't do it?
Speaker 2 (16:55):
All right? Take it over please? Yeah, But I'm just
thinking like, surely there is a question that maybe isn't
exactly dinosaur related or flat earth or related or something
like that that you would answer, and that would kind
of give you a red flag into thinking like, Okay,
this person maybe doesn't believe in the same things that
I do.
Speaker 1 (17:13):
I dated someone and I started to get concerned about
a type of possible red flag because first couple of
times we went out, she didn't have her driver's license
and she had said like, oh, I think I left
it at home or whatever, And then I started wondering, Oh, no,
is it possible she's one of these traveler types.
Speaker 3 (17:35):
Do you know what that is?
Speaker 2 (17:37):
No, I don't think I've ever heard of this.
Speaker 1 (17:40):
Flat earthers, dinosaur deniers, and travelers. Travelers are people that
believe they don't have to have legal documentation from the
state or federal government to travel. They base their inalienable
rights pre Bill of Rights back to like the Articles
(18:02):
of the Constitution and before that, where some document randomly
said the people of this land are allowed to travel
without being infringed upon. Basically, it was like the Second
Amendment but for walking around, okay, And these people hang
on to that like like it's doctrine, when in fact,
(18:22):
all these things happened subsequently that made that stupid and moved,
but they still live by it. And these are people
that get their windows bashed out by police officers for
refusing to provide identification because they say they don't have to.
They're great videos on YouTube because you usually end up
with them being electrocuted at the hands of a taser.
Speaker 2 (18:45):
I was like, I don't even understand how you could
possibly live like that. You literally need a license for everything, Like,
how do you go and vote?
Speaker 3 (18:56):
I don't think they do.
Speaker 2 (18:58):
No, they can all f off because if you don't
have a driver's license to go and vote, you don't
get a saying whether or not you have or can
or can't have a driver's license. Does that make sense?
Speaker 1 (19:08):
No, it absolutely does. So their official name is sovereign citizens.
They believe that they are their own sovereignty. They are
not citizens of the United States or Texas or Dallas
or Houston or anywhere else. They just happen to live
in a little pocket of their own world and wherever
they go they believe they are their own sovereign nation
(19:30):
slash entity, not subject to your crazy laws.
Speaker 2 (19:34):
So then they yeah, they're not bound by anything legal, and.
Speaker 1 (19:38):
You can usually see them from a mile away because
they'll tell you who they are based on the bumper
stickers on their car, which.
Speaker 3 (19:44):
Is not registered.
Speaker 2 (19:48):
Their license plate is like twenty years outdated. They don't
even make it anymore.
Speaker 1 (19:52):
Yeah, they probably just found it on the side of
their own I'll slap that on.
Speaker 2 (19:56):
I can't imagine if some of you were to just
send me out and be like, by your own rules,
do you know I would? I would mess a lot
of things up.
Speaker 3 (20:06):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (20:07):
We have rules for a reason, Like things are in
place for a reason, and that's sort of to keep
things from being utter chaos.
Speaker 3 (20:13):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (20:14):
On the other hand, if I could find just enough
infrastructure to put on an island big enough where I
wouldn't go too stir crazy, I'm gonna do some things
right in Danistan.
Speaker 2 (20:26):
Oh well, I mean I I do understand that mentality absolutely.
But but you're gonna have some laws, right.
Speaker 1 (20:34):
Yeah, I'm not allowed to do certain things my laws.
My laws would be very similar to the laws in Grimleins.
Speaker 3 (20:40):
Don't feed me after midnight?
Speaker 2 (20:42):
Perfect? Perfect?
Speaker 3 (20:45):
But yeah, no, if you really want to be super entertained,
just type in sovereign citizens.
Speaker 2 (20:51):
Yeah, that's this afternoon's task.
Speaker 1 (20:55):
It's it's not pretty, it is it is quite quite
something to behold. So anyway, these are the types of
things that they should probably put in the online dating profiles,
so you know ahead of time.
Speaker 3 (21:08):
And if you didn't meet through timber or.
Speaker 1 (21:13):
Or hinge, and you meet the old fashioned way, then
these are the conversations you need to have on.
Speaker 3 (21:20):
That first date.
Speaker 1 (21:20):
It's like, okay, what are some of your core beliefs,
and let's start with question number one?
Speaker 3 (21:26):
Are you nuts?
Speaker 2 (21:29):
No one's going to answer that, honestly on a first date.
Speaker 1 (21:36):
Five thousand new words were recently added to the dictionary.
Speaker 3 (21:39):
But are they necessary?
Speaker 2 (21:42):
No?
Speaker 3 (21:44):
And end of show.
Speaker 2 (21:46):
Scene and we're done break Ever, it's all.
Speaker 3 (21:50):
We needed right there. Not going to waste a whole
bunch of time on that.
Speaker 1 (21:53):
It's not like we're going to give the time and
timp and the weather fifteen times in an hour.
Speaker 2 (21:59):
Oh that's an old inside radio joke there.
Speaker 1 (22:01):
Yeah, I'll drop little nuggets like that on occasion, So yeah,
I love it. Five thousand new words were added to
the Marion Webster Dictionary.
Speaker 3 (22:09):
But are they necessary? Rebecca?
Speaker 2 (22:12):
No again, Yeah, I'm at a know on this. Here's
the thing, though, I do love the idea of them
adding words to the dictionary. Right. It's like never stop
working on yourself kind of a thing. Okay, sure, you
know what I mean, because the dictionary is smart, right,
so they need to keep up with things. But there,
I do feel like we've maybe taken it a little
bit too far.
Speaker 1 (22:29):
I will say that adding five thousand new words to
the dictionary seems extreme. I don't even know if I
know five thousand words totally.
Speaker 2 (22:39):
No, I don't either. But I think what really I
guess stirred me with this is that they're adding the
word riz to the dictionary. Riz our eyes zz. Do
you know what rizz?
Speaker 1 (22:50):
I know, it's like you've got like, like this is
one of those gen Z gen alpha terms that I
didn't know that I just learned through context clue that
it was basically, Okay, this person is cool, they've got swagger, So.
Speaker 3 (23:05):
Yes, is that right?
Speaker 4 (23:06):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (23:07):
Yeah, it is. I would say, I would say, on
some level, you have riz. On some level I have riz.
Speaker 3 (23:11):
Oh hell yeah?
Speaker 2 (23:12):
All right now, I mean like I don't know that
I am necessarily like the coolest guy around, but I
do think there. I do have a little bit of
riz Would.
Speaker 1 (23:19):
It be lame to say that, Like if you told
someone like, hey, I'm I'm rizzy, then they're gonna look
at you like, uh.
Speaker 2 (23:25):
Oh, don't don't don't ever say that exactly. The kids.
The kids will kill you so quick for that.
Speaker 1 (23:31):
We'll probably they'll probably give me a swirly and a
skibbity toilet. Yes, So that's why, that's why I am
very cautious about any of these new terms using them.
Putting him in the dictionary is a different thing, and
we're going to touch on that, But just using some
of these new words I am very cautious about because
I don't want to use them incorrectly and then seem
(23:51):
like an old.
Speaker 2 (23:53):
No, that's exactly it.
Speaker 3 (23:54):
You don't want to be cringe, thank you. Yeah, I
don't want to be cringe.
Speaker 2 (23:57):
No, nobody wants to be cringe. I totally understand. So
you you you guard yourself a little bit when you
are talking to the youths, so.
Speaker 1 (24:05):
Much so that I have a tendency to just stay
away from the youths same.
Speaker 2 (24:10):
I do have a lot of nieces and nephews, so
therefore I have to be somewhat up to date on
the words, like I can't be completely uncool.
Speaker 3 (24:17):
Yeah, but my whole thing.
Speaker 2 (24:19):
About RIZ is like, isn't riz technically already in the dictionary?
Speaker 3 (24:24):
I don't know? Is it it is?
Speaker 2 (24:26):
Riz is short for charisma?
Speaker 3 (24:28):
It is?
Speaker 2 (24:29):
It is? Yes, get it the risk karma?
Speaker 3 (24:34):
Yes, No, it makes sense. I had no idea this
whole time. I didn't.
Speaker 1 (24:37):
I had no idea where it actually came from. I
didn't know where the riz was.
Speaker 3 (24:41):
It's our z Z.
Speaker 1 (24:43):
How do I put that in the middle of charisma
because there's no z's in charisma.
Speaker 2 (24:47):
I mean, I'll give you that. It is. It's a
it's a tough translate there, Like, I'll give you that.
But yeah, charisma. We already have had this word. We've
had this word for a million years. Why do we
need its like slang term to be in the dictionary.
Speaker 3 (25:00):
We don't. And I'm with you.
Speaker 1 (25:01):
If you want to make a separate slang dictionary like
Urban Dictionary one of my favorite spots on the internet, name,
then put it in that I have. I look, I
am a purist. I believe wholeheartedly in the Lord, My Savior,
the Oxford Comma.
Speaker 2 (25:19):
Yeah, oh, God, I love a comma.
Speaker 1 (25:20):
I love, I love a good comma, especially the Oxford commam.
So I want and my wife doesn't. It's one of
It's one of our great battles in.
Speaker 2 (25:29):
My marriage, the great debate.
Speaker 1 (25:31):
She is modern and doesn't care for the Oxford comma.
She thinks it's unnecessary. I am a traditionalist. I want
my Oxford coma same anyway. She believes in commas in general.
It's not like a dinosaur thing.
Speaker 2 (25:46):
She just doesn't think, God, that would be hilarious. She's
just one run on sentence all the time.
Speaker 1 (25:51):
Yeah, thank god we're not dealing with that type of scenario.
But yeah, so I know Merriam Webster will start adding
in these new words, and they used to be like
a handful each year, so I'm not used to the
like five thousand number. That is definitely extreme. But at
one point I think they were only adding words to
the online version of the dictionary, not the print version,
(26:15):
which I believe Miriam Webster was treating like the word Bible.
So okay, they're not unless they've changed it.
Speaker 2 (26:23):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (26:24):
They weren't going to be adding things like riz or
beast mode into the hard bound Bible version of the
Dictionary online thing, Fine, we'll put it in there, so
I hope I hope that they've maintained that.
Speaker 2 (26:37):
Thank you for clarifying that. That's giving me so much
peace of mind, because I really was thinking, we're about
to hit a point where it's going to be the Dictionary,
right and Urban Dictionary, and then we're going to combine
as one, and before we know it, we're no longer
going to have Dictionary and it's just going to be
Urban Dictionary, and then we're going to have ourselves in
idiocracy situation. Not that we aren't already almost in idiocracy,
(27:01):
Oh we are. By the way, That's a movie. If
no one has seen it. If you haven't seen that,
I highly recommend.
Speaker 1 (27:06):
It's a movie that is, over the course of its lifespan,
has moved from comedy fiction into documentary.
Speaker 2 (27:14):
You are absolutely correct. Anytime I watch it, I will
post about it because it is absolutely and easily in
my top five favorite movies of all time. And when
I post that I'm watching it, I'm like, this documentary
is so good.
Speaker 3 (27:26):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (27:27):
In addition to it nailing reality show slash Wrestler in Chief. Yes, Crocs,
you know how popular crocs are today. Yes, they were central.
They were a central item to the plot and to
setting up the future in the movie Idiocricy.
Speaker 2 (27:49):
Do you know the backstory of that, right? They literally
were like, go find the ugliest shoe on the market
that you can find. That's what we want everybody to
be wearing in the future. In the future exactly. So
they go out, they find these shoes, crocs, and they're like,
oh my god, these are the worst shoes you've ever seen.
(28:09):
They're so ugly.
Speaker 3 (28:11):
These are the pontiac as texts of feet.
Speaker 2 (28:13):
Oh my god, yes, my in laws had one of those.
By the way. Anyway, so they get to a point
before they had started filming and they're like, ooh, maybe
we shouldn't use crocs. Maybe this is too like mean,
we're gonna ruin this company. They legitimately had a question
of that they might actually ruin a company by putting
them in the movie. I don't know where along the
(28:35):
way they were like, ask, screw it, let's do it,
and they put crocs in the movie. And then fast
forward twenty years later and crocs are literally the most
popular shoe on the planet right now. I think everybody
I know has a pair. I will never have a pair.
But to each his own.
Speaker 3 (28:49):
I tried, I tried, No.
Speaker 2 (28:51):
You did not. I heard they're comfortable. Pang on, Sorry,
I go mad. They're so ugly.
Speaker 3 (28:57):
You are so judging.
Speaker 2 (28:58):
Yeah, I am very judging.
Speaker 3 (29:00):
Thank you for that. Though.
Speaker 1 (29:03):
I tried Crocs years ago for yard shoes. Yeah, okay,
so I had them. I mean we're talking like two
thousand and six to two thousand and eight, you know, right,
except that, and then I had some like five five
years ago or so.
Speaker 3 (29:22):
Again.
Speaker 1 (29:22):
I had them for yard shoes at the time we
had chickens, and so those are the shoes I kept
by the back door that I would wear into the
backyard to take the dogs out or go do something
chicken or pool related. Those that's what those shoes were for.
Now they're used for everything.
Speaker 2 (29:41):
Oh so you're a convert then?
Speaker 3 (29:42):
Oh wait, sorry, I.
Speaker 2 (29:43):
Need I thought you were gonna tell me this great
story about how you tried, tried, tried, and then now
you you never wear them?
Speaker 3 (29:48):
No, no, no, definitely not. I'm sorry I said that poorly.
Speaker 1 (29:51):
Now I do not own any Crocs, and I certainly
don't own any croc charms.
Speaker 2 (29:59):
But well, something super creepy about a forty year old
something man with croc charms. From me, that's a red flag.
Speaker 1 (30:09):
From experience, I can tell you you have no idea
how right you are. But I do not own crocs anymore.
They were they were my yard shoes, and they eventually
got lost, damage, whatever, and I didn't replace them because
I didn't care to.
Speaker 2 (30:25):
Okay, thank goodness, I'm very happy to hear that.
Speaker 1 (30:28):
Not a great story, but just offering some context that
I have tried them.
Speaker 2 (30:34):
I mean, I appreciate your willingness to, you know, go
a little bit outside the box and try something that
maybe you normally wouldn't do or wear. I appreciate that
because that says something about you as a person. But
then to make the decision that they suck, good job.
Speaker 3 (30:50):
I've limited it to the backyard and never in public.
Speaker 2 (30:53):
Right, Oh god, bless you? Like I'm sorry. I don't
get it. I will never get it.
Speaker 1 (31:00):
Are crocs the word, not the shoes? Are crocs in
the dictionary? In the Merriam Webster dictionary.
Speaker 2 (31:06):
Ooh, that's a good question. Surely by now they are?
Speaker 1 (31:08):
They have to be right, well, I mean, if they're
adding five thousand new words to the Merriam Webster Dictionary.
I'm assuming that's in there, along with some other words
that I probably have no idea about. Like I just
learned about RIZ today. I knew what it was, but
I didn't know where it came from. So now I'm
glad I know that.
Speaker 2 (31:25):
Yeah, now you're cool. You can be hip with.
Speaker 3 (31:26):
The kids, so I can use RIZ.
Speaker 2 (31:30):
Yep, try it, try it, say it in the sentence.
Let's hear you say RIZ, and you got to pull
it off? Cool?
Speaker 3 (31:38):
All right? I can't. I just can't. I'm sorry.
Speaker 1 (31:44):
The only thing I could come the only thing I
could possibly come up is like that guy's got rizz.
Speaker 3 (31:49):
That's all I got.
Speaker 1 (31:53):
That Really the reason I'm going to I hate being
vulnerable and I'm going to keep doing it on this show.
Speaker 3 (31:59):
How dare you you pull this out of me?
Speaker 1 (32:01):
So the reason I know what RIZ means is because
of a video I saw on Instagram that showed Tom
Holland in a movie. It might be at the beginning
of Now You See Me two or something, and it
shows him interacting with this female with a couple of
little magic tricks and he picks her pocket and the
title of the video was Tom Holland has riz, and
(32:24):
so because of the video and the context, I was like, Okay,
now I know what riz.
Speaker 3 (32:28):
Means, but I didn't. He does have RIZ, but I
had no idea. It was short for charisma.
Speaker 2 (32:33):
Yeah, charisma, ye old charisma.
Speaker 3 (32:38):
Speaking of ye old.
Speaker 1 (32:40):
And Merriam Webster, you know how there's some social media
accounts that you just need to follow. Wendy's is an
all timer. Yeah, so good Wendy's. Wendy is queen of snark. Agreed,
Merriam Webster is not far by. Heind Wendy's yep, especially
(33:02):
from just a just a few weeks ago when Merriam
Webster posted booty and butt are synonyms. Call and dial
are synonyms, but a booty call and a butt dial
are very different things.
Speaker 2 (33:20):
Yes, yes, oh they're social media people don't get paid enough.
Speaker 3 (33:27):
No, they do not.
Speaker 1 (33:28):
They absolutely do not. They are a treasure and they
are to be heralded much like we are. If I
may speak so boldly, with just a splash of riz, ah,
you did it. If you are listening to us, follow
the show so you don't miss an episode. And if
you're watching on YouTube, be sure to like and subscribe
(33:50):
for Rebecca Black. I'm danil Mally and this was unsolicited
You didn't ask for it, but you need to hear it.
Hot Takes, a wild breakup, and a disgusting dog. Today,
we're going to say what needs to be said, even
if no one asked. She is Rebecca Black, I am
Dan O'Malley and this is unsolicited fair warning to those
that are queasy stomached. The video I'm about to show
(00:23):
you is both shocking and disturbing. Viewer discretion is strongly advised.
Speaker 2 (00:41):
Wow, oh, did you see the toenail fly?
Speaker 3 (00:59):
I did see the toenail fly.
Speaker 1 (01:01):
That is one of the most disgusting things I have
ever seen in my life.
Speaker 3 (01:05):
Thank you for sending it to me, Rebecca.
Speaker 2 (01:07):
You're absolutely welcome. I just for those of you who
are listening and maybe can't see the video, that is
a dog biting toenails of its owner.
Speaker 1 (01:16):
And not just sort of haphazardly, but very specifically, because
the entirety of that was him gnawing down the big toenail. Yeah,
and then right near the end after he shakes his
head and that's when you see.
Speaker 3 (01:31):
The toenail floot.
Speaker 1 (01:32):
That's when we see the toenail flip flip fly fly.
Speaker 2 (01:39):
And it literally flew like as if you were clipping
your own toenails. Like, have you ever had you had
a rogue toenail? Oh?
Speaker 1 (01:45):
Yeah, it looks like it looks like it looks like
it it looks like I can't talk. Uh, it looks
like a SpaceX rocket shooting off.
Speaker 3 (01:52):
Yes, yes, that's.
Speaker 2 (01:53):
Exactly what this dog did. He was able to somehow
get it off and then make.
Speaker 3 (01:57):
It fly, and he went right back to it to
the next toe.
Speaker 2 (02:02):
First of all, I have a lot of questions here.
Do we just not have shame anymore? Is there no
shame in this world or on the internet? What do
you mean meaning like, Oh, first of all, magically, if
I somehow figured out that my dog could eat my
toenails off, do you think I'm going to post that
(02:22):
on social media? No, my answer is no, that's a
secret I'm gonna keep to myself forever. I don't even
know that I'm gonna tell my significant other that the
dog can magically eat my toenails off. But then you
have this man.
Speaker 4 (02:37):
Here who is perfectly fine with just letting it all
out there, letting everybody in the whole wide world know
that his dog goes to town on his toenails.
Speaker 3 (02:51):
On one hand. I'm just glad that it's just as
toenails as far as we know.
Speaker 2 (02:56):
But I again, this is where I question things like
if he's doing the toenails, what else is going on?
Speaker 1 (03:01):
Because if he's willing to post the toenail terrier, what's
he not posting exactly?
Speaker 2 (03:09):
Again, like this poor dog, it's not his fault. Like,
can we call peta on this situation?
Speaker 3 (03:15):
So this is weird.
Speaker 1 (03:17):
So this is a great question because there are many
many instances where harm has come to an animal and
there needs to be someone or some group to step
in for the.
Speaker 3 (03:30):
Care of the animal.
Speaker 2 (03:31):
Agreed.
Speaker 1 (03:32):
There are situations though, where animals really do thrive with
having a job.
Speaker 2 (03:38):
No, you are not about to say that this dog
is like somehow serving his purpose. This is his corporate
nine to five.
Speaker 3 (03:47):
Shut up, Dan of just saying he doesn't seem to
hate it.
Speaker 2 (03:54):
Okay, I will give you that, But what did it
take to get him to this port, Because you know
there had to be some training of all. This dude
probably smothered his feet in peanut butter to get the
dog to like do his thing.
Speaker 1 (04:11):
Yeah, I'm choosing not to believe that part.
Speaker 2 (04:16):
Okay, So you're choosing that this is the dog's idea,
like the dog is the one that came up with
us on his own.
Speaker 1 (04:23):
I'm basically creating a narrative that can have me stomach
watching the video at all.
Speaker 2 (04:31):
But that's sad. That's what we have to do now.
We have to create a scenario in which it's okay
for us to be viewing this kind of disgusting, shameful
content online.
Speaker 3 (04:41):
And when we soak it up or we eat it up,
just like the dog is with those toenails. Oh that's
pretty good.
Speaker 1 (04:52):
I don't know if I've ever had so many dry
heaves in the beginning of a show.
Speaker 2 (04:55):
Bro. I am the dry heavingest person on the planet.
It takes very little for me to gag.
Speaker 1 (05:02):
Very little fifteen year old me had to run in
with some Crown Royal and some coatine and Arizona iced tea.
That might call you out a little bit. That was
an hour and a half straight of dry heaving at
six am that I will never forget.
Speaker 2 (05:23):
No, here's my thing I have like, I feel like
I have such empathy that I can I can put
myself in a position of just being able to smell
vomit or something like that, and it immediately makes me
dry heave.
Speaker 1 (05:38):
It's fascinating because I think I've kind of grown out
of that.
Speaker 3 (05:42):
I still remember.
Speaker 1 (05:43):
This is amazing, And this is one of the reasons
why my wife looks at me like the RCAA dog
at times, because I have a horrible memory with many things,
but some things, my memory is so specific and spectacular, right.
Speaker 3 (05:59):
It would floor you.
Speaker 2 (06:00):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (06:00):
Example, I still remember when I was five years old kindergarten.
It's the group trip to the bathroom. Right, girls go
to their potty, the boys go to ours. In my
in my kid.
Speaker 2 (06:15):
Already smell this scenario, by the.
Speaker 3 (06:17):
Way, not like I can.
Speaker 2 (06:20):
Well, yeah, because you had first hand experience, but I
can already put myself in your position.
Speaker 1 (06:25):
Well, you're gonna hate this story, then I hate you, Dan,
because not only are you going to relive this memory
with me, you're gonna smell it. So there I am,
five years old, kindergarten, boys bathroom on the group trip. Oh,
I'm turning around from the urinal when other Danny. There
(06:46):
were two of us in this class. I was Danny one,
Danny Prime, and then there was Danny number two.
Speaker 3 (06:53):
Yeah, ironically, because I.
Speaker 2 (06:55):
Know it was no pun intended.
Speaker 1 (07:00):
I turn around from the urinal and Danny number two
comes out of the stall, pants around his ankles and
poopy smeared.
Speaker 3 (07:07):
All over his backside. I remember this so well. I
can still see the finger swipes in stop swear to
God around his butt. He comes out of that stall
and he's asking for the teacher to help clean him up,
and I am wedding.
Speaker 2 (07:27):
I'm sweating. Dan.
Speaker 3 (07:30):
You think you're sweating, imagine what that teacher had to do.
Speaker 2 (07:33):
I this is when I'm like, teachers do not get
paid enough, especially if you're like a kindergarten or a
first grade teacher, and you end up having to go
and not only just wipe some poor kids butt because
for whatever reason, they don't know how to do it correctly,
but now you've got to be the maid too, and
you have to clean up the freaking walls.
Speaker 1 (07:52):
You know, That's something that I never learned. I don't
know that part of the story because I only saw
what was wiped all over his backside and him calling
out for help from the teacher to come in and help.
Speaker 3 (08:02):
I never went in the stall to see what that
looked like.
Speaker 2 (08:06):
You know, it was explosive.
Speaker 3 (08:08):
It probably looked like the bathroom and Desperado.
Speaker 2 (08:10):
It had to have had to of yeh.
Speaker 1 (08:16):
Anyway, who's more disgusting in this scenario, the dog or
the dude who's letting the dog eat his toenails?
Speaker 2 (08:25):
I mean, I gotta go with the dude here. I
think he's the disgusting one to allow that to happen.
It's not the dog's fault. Dogs are primal. They don't
have like the human instinct or like, you know, the
code of which we live by the human man.
Speaker 3 (08:40):
Does is supposed to anyway.
Speaker 2 (08:45):
Yeah, so like, where have we gone wrong?
Speaker 1 (08:50):
Well, the code that we all live by is now
in shards on that guy's rub next to his toenails.
We are back to unsolicited time now for am I
the A hole? This is a great one, Rebecca, And
(09:11):
this is one that is for the ages.
Speaker 3 (09:14):
Oh okay, maybe the Jurassic ages. Uh?
Speaker 2 (09:19):
Oh? Dinos h.
Speaker 1 (09:24):
A man went viral for asking Reddit, am I the
A hole? Because he broke up with his girlfriend because
she doesn't believe in dinosaurs?
Speaker 2 (09:35):
Uh? All right, I need I need more to the story.
Speaker 3 (09:39):
I will do what I can.
Speaker 1 (09:40):
A twenty six year old man made headlines on social
forums after breaking up with his girlfriend of six months
over an irreconcilable clash in core beliefs, specifically her I'm.
Speaker 2 (09:51):
Sorry, hold on, dinosaurs is a core belief? Hang on, sorry,
I literally like him, like, I don't know that that's
anyone core belief.
Speaker 1 (10:01):
No, no, this it is an important question you ask,
because this is this is this is what drove a
wedge into this relationship.
Speaker 2 (10:09):
Is this ross Geller from friends?
Speaker 1 (10:12):
It sounds like it could be. A twenty six year
old man made headlines after breaking up with his girlfriend
of six months over an irreconcilable clash and core beliefs,
specifically her rejection of evolution and the scientific age of
the planet. She insisted that Earth is only six thousand
(10:35):
years old and that dinosaurs were a myth. This is
all rooted in her religious upbringing.
Speaker 3 (10:41):
She's not alone. I've heard of this before.
Speaker 2 (10:44):
I have to.
Speaker 1 (10:44):
We live in Texas, more specifically North Texas, the land
of churches. This is not the first time we have
heard of people and this core belief.
Speaker 2 (10:54):
I will tell you not to commandeer the story here,
but when I was growing up, it was very widely
believed among my friends that dinosaurs were not a real thing.
And then I remember my dad taking me to I
think it's Glenrose in Texas where you can actually see
like the dinosaur footprints. Yeah yeah, And I like, I
was like, how is it My parents are like hip
(11:15):
with the dinos, and like nobody else's are. It was like,
it was definitely a Christian thing.
Speaker 3 (11:21):
It's a weird thing to be stuck around a bunch
of idiots.
Speaker 2 (11:26):
And why do we have museums devoted to dinosaurs that
they are real?
Speaker 1 (11:31):
Like why, that's that's just an imagination place. Okay, yeah,
but I too have experience of being surrounded by morons.
Third grade, I had just moved to Texas and went
to a school in Dallas and the teacher called it
boys Idaho. I looked around. Oh no, I looked around.
(11:56):
I looked around at everyone else in the class, and
I'm like, that's that's that's not right. So I raised
my hand. I'm in the back of the class and
she calls on me and she's like yes and said,
isn't it boisy idaho? On queue the entire class all
their heads spin and look directly at me and all
(12:18):
start screaming you it's boys. I went home and told
my mom, and then I was transferred to private school.
Speaker 2 (12:25):
God bless your parents. Yeah, boys, Idaoh that was from
the teacher. She's obviously had never been outside of her
own little city.
Speaker 3 (12:39):
It's Dallas.
Speaker 2 (12:41):
How can you You can't be from Dallas and not
know it's boisy?
Speaker 3 (12:45):
Well, I have a story that refutes you.
Speaker 1 (12:48):
And not only that, but she also couldn't do certain
three digit math problems.
Speaker 3 (12:54):
So there wasn't an isolated incident.
Speaker 1 (12:56):
There were a few, and then by the end of
that semester, my mom's like, you're not going to that
school next year.
Speaker 2 (13:01):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (13:03):
Anyway, back to our dino breakup. So the girlfriend insisted
the planet is only six thousand years old and that
dinosaurs are a myth, which was rooted in her religious upbringing.
While he initially tried to overlook the difference, I don't
know how, he later realized it posed too great of
a divide, like the continental especially when considering the future
(13:26):
of raising children. Yeah, that'll throw a RNE into some stuff.
Speaker 3 (13:29):
Absolutely.
Speaker 1 (13:30):
In his explanation, he said the breakup was not about
winning an argument, it was about long term compatibility. He
knew raising kids with conflicting worldviews on science education and
critical thinking could lead to confusion and conflict. Despite hoping
she might be open to different perspectives, he concluded that
mutual respect does not always guarantee shared values, and sometimes
(13:52):
love just isn't enough to bridge a fundamental gap.
Speaker 2 (13:56):
I mean, he couldn't just let the kids grow up
and decide on their own if dinosaurs are or not.
Speaker 1 (14:02):
Okay, look, I'm big on self discovery, but they're just.
Speaker 3 (14:08):
There are just some things you're gonna know as a child.
Speaker 2 (14:11):
Yeah, I agree. At first, I was kind of I
was gonna I was gonna hate on this dude, I
really was. I was like, really, you can't look past
the whole dino thing. But when he starts getting into
the fact that, like how we're going to raise our kids,
and I'm like, and then I started thinking about flat
earthers and how I can never date a flat earther. So, yeah,
this is a fundamental piece of knowledge I think you
need to know, and I think you need to be
(14:33):
on board with the dinosaurs.
Speaker 3 (14:34):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (14:35):
So I've been married so long that I never really
got into the whole online dating thing. I've never used
tender for its purpose. I've I mean, i've I've taken
a drug.
Speaker 2 (14:46):
Oh okay, Oh hold on, what have you been using
tender for there, Bud?
Speaker 1 (14:50):
Well, if you get drunken around me and you have
Tender on your phone, I'm gonna swipe on some folks.
Speaker 2 (14:54):
Same I will do.
Speaker 1 (14:56):
And one particular night at a bar with one of
our friends, my wife and I played matchmaker for him.
Speaker 2 (15:03):
Is that not the greatest thing in the world. I
love playing matchmaker for people on Tender or Bubble or wherever.
Speaker 1 (15:09):
It's so much fun. And I say that because I've
only been able to do it once.
Speaker 2 (15:13):
Well, hold on, it's fun because it isn't you, oh
somebody else? So who cares if I swipe on somebody?
That's awful? Oh not my problem?
Speaker 1 (15:21):
Yeah that I'm still going to be entertained by it,
just like watching a television show. Now, the problem is is,
once he told everyone what we did, everyone sort of
locking their phones around us.
Speaker 3 (15:31):
Smart on their part.
Speaker 1 (15:33):
Yeah yeah, but this this does bring up an important
thing that you need to start asking people for your
long term compatibility. Maybe you have to start putting this
type of stuff in your timber Timber Jesus in your
tender and your Bumble profile hinge. Whatever your future may
(15:53):
hinge on whether or not you are interested in dating
a dino denier, or if, like religion is going to
play a massive factor type of situation, or like you
even mentioned flat earthers, you want to know ahead of
time before you even start messaging someone if they happen
to be a flat earther, if they happen to be
(16:15):
a dinosaur denier, are they someone who doesn't.
Speaker 3 (16:18):
Believe in the moon landing or things like this?
Speaker 2 (16:22):
Right? I would think though, like, aren't there when you
get onto these apps, isn't there like a whole questionnaire
that you ask so that it makes sure it's putting
kind of the right mental equivalency in front of you.
Isn't there a questionnaire that happens?
Speaker 3 (16:37):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (16:38):
And I remember I've done this for friends before. We
did it as a radio bit years ago. I remember
filling out a whole match profile for a friend of mine.
We used it on air, and it just got weird
after a while because then it was just me messaging
on his behalf and I was like, this is weird.
Speaker 3 (16:53):
I'm done. You do this or don't do it?
Speaker 2 (16:55):
All right? Take it over please? Yeah, But I'm just
thinking like, surely there is a question that maybe isn't
exactly dinosaur related or flat earth or related or something
like that that you would answer, and that would kind
of give you a red flag into thinking like, Okay,
this person maybe doesn't believe in the same things that
I do.
Speaker 1 (17:13):
I dated someone and I started to get concerned about
a type of possible red flag because first couple of
times we went out, she didn't have her driver's license
and she had said like, oh, I think I left
it at home or whatever, And then I started wondering, Oh, no,
is it possible she's one of these traveler types.
Speaker 3 (17:35):
Do you know what that is?
Speaker 2 (17:37):
No, I don't think I've ever heard of this.
Speaker 1 (17:40):
Flat earthers, dinosaur deniers, and travelers. Travelers are people that
believe they don't have to have legal documentation from the
state or federal government to travel. They base their inalienable
rights pre Bill of Rights back to like the Articles
(18:02):
of the Constitution and before that, where some document randomly
said the people of this land are allowed to travel
without being infringed upon. Basically, it was like the Second
Amendment but for walking around, okay, And these people hang
on to that like like it's doctrine, when in fact,
(18:22):
all these things happened subsequently that made that stupid and moved,
but they still live by it. And these are people
that get their windows bashed out by police officers for
refusing to provide identification because they say they don't have to.
They're great videos on YouTube because you usually end up
with them being electrocuted at the hands of a taser.
Speaker 2 (18:45):
I was like, I don't even understand how you could
possibly live like that. You literally need a license for everything, Like,
how do you go and vote?
Speaker 3 (18:56):
I don't think they do.
Speaker 2 (18:58):
No, they can all f off because if you don't
have a driver's license to go and vote, you don't
get a saying whether or not you have or can
or can't have a driver's license. Does that make sense?
Speaker 1 (19:08):
No, it absolutely does. So their official name is sovereign citizens.
They believe that they are their own sovereignty. They are
not citizens of the United States or Texas or Dallas
or Houston or anywhere else. They just happen to live
in a little pocket of their own world and wherever
they go they believe they are their own sovereign nation
(19:30):
slash entity, not subject to your crazy laws.
Speaker 2 (19:34):
So then they yeah, they're not bound by anything legal, and.
Speaker 1 (19:38):
You can usually see them from a mile away because
they'll tell you who they are based on the bumper
stickers on their car, which.
Speaker 3 (19:44):
Is not registered.
Speaker 2 (19:48):
Their license plate is like twenty years outdated. They don't
even make it anymore.
Speaker 1 (19:52):
Yeah, they probably just found it on the side of
their own I'll slap that on.
Speaker 2 (19:56):
I can't imagine if some of you were to just
send me out and be like, by your own rules,
do you know I would? I would mess a lot
of things up.
Speaker 3 (20:06):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (20:07):
We have rules for a reason, Like things are in
place for a reason, and that's sort of to keep
things from being utter chaos.
Speaker 3 (20:13):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (20:14):
On the other hand, if I could find just enough
infrastructure to put on an island big enough where I
wouldn't go too stir crazy, I'm gonna do some things
right in Danistan.
Speaker 2 (20:26):
Oh well, I mean I I do understand that mentality absolutely.
But but you're gonna have some laws, right.
Speaker 1 (20:34):
Yeah, I'm not allowed to do certain things my laws.
My laws would be very similar to the laws in Grimleins.
Speaker 3 (20:40):
Don't feed me after midnight?
Speaker 2 (20:42):
Perfect? Perfect?
Speaker 3 (20:45):
But yeah, no, if you really want to be super entertained,
just type in sovereign citizens.
Speaker 2 (20:51):
Yeah, that's this afternoon's task.
Speaker 1 (20:55):
It's it's not pretty, it is it is quite quite
something to behold. So anyway, these are the types of
things that they should probably put in the online dating profiles,
so you know ahead of time.
Speaker 3 (21:08):
And if you didn't meet through timber or.
Speaker 1 (21:13):
Or hinge, and you meet the old fashioned way, then
these are the conversations you need to have on.
Speaker 3 (21:20):
That first date.
Speaker 1 (21:20):
It's like, okay, what are some of your core beliefs,
and let's start with question number one?
Speaker 3 (21:26):
Are you nuts?
Speaker 2 (21:29):
No one's going to answer that, honestly on a first date.
Speaker 1 (21:36):
Five thousand new words were recently added to the dictionary.
Speaker 3 (21:39):
But are they necessary?
Speaker 2 (21:42):
No?
Speaker 3 (21:44):
And end of show.
Speaker 2 (21:46):
Scene and we're done break Ever, it's all.
Speaker 3 (21:50):
We needed right there. Not going to waste a whole
bunch of time on that.
Speaker 1 (21:53):
It's not like we're going to give the time and
timp and the weather fifteen times in an hour.
Speaker 2 (21:59):
Oh that's an old inside radio joke there.
Speaker 1 (22:01):
Yeah, I'll drop little nuggets like that on occasion, So yeah,
I love it. Five thousand new words were added to
the Marion Webster Dictionary.
Speaker 3 (22:09):
But are they necessary? Rebecca?
Speaker 2 (22:12):
No again, Yeah, I'm at a know on this. Here's
the thing, though, I do love the idea of them
adding words to the dictionary. Right. It's like never stop
working on yourself kind of a thing. Okay, sure, you
know what I mean, because the dictionary is smart, right,
so they need to keep up with things. But there,
I do feel like we've maybe taken it a little
bit too far.
Speaker 1 (22:29):
I will say that adding five thousand new words to
the dictionary seems extreme. I don't even know if I
know five thousand words totally.
Speaker 2 (22:39):
No, I don't either. But I think what really I
guess stirred me with this is that they're adding the
word riz to the dictionary. Riz our eyes zz. Do
you know what rizz?
Speaker 1 (22:50):
I know, it's like you've got like, like this is
one of those gen Z gen alpha terms that I
didn't know that I just learned through context clue that
it was basically, Okay, this person is cool, they've got swagger, So.
Speaker 3 (23:05):
Yes, is that right?
Speaker 4 (23:06):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (23:07):
Yeah, it is. I would say, I would say, on
some level, you have riz. On some level I have riz.
Speaker 3 (23:11):
Oh hell yeah?
Speaker 2 (23:12):
All right now, I mean like I don't know that
I am necessarily like the coolest guy around, but I
do think there. I do have a little bit of
riz Would.
Speaker 1 (23:19):
It be lame to say that, Like if you told
someone like, hey, I'm I'm rizzy, then they're gonna look
at you like, uh.
Speaker 2 (23:25):
Oh, don't don't don't ever say that exactly. The kids.
The kids will kill you so quick for that.
Speaker 1 (23:31):
We'll probably they'll probably give me a swirly and a
skibbity toilet. Yes, So that's why, that's why I am
very cautious about any of these new terms using them.
Putting him in the dictionary is a different thing, and
we're going to touch on that, But just using some
of these new words I am very cautious about because
I don't want to use them incorrectly and then seem
(23:51):
like an old.
Speaker 2 (23:53):
No, that's exactly it.
Speaker 3 (23:54):
You don't want to be cringe, thank you. Yeah, I
don't want to be cringe.
Speaker 2 (23:57):
No, nobody wants to be cringe. I totally understand. So
you you you guard yourself a little bit when you
are talking to the youths, so.
Speaker 1 (24:05):
Much so that I have a tendency to just stay
away from the youths same.
Speaker 2 (24:10):
I do have a lot of nieces and nephews, so
therefore I have to be somewhat up to date on
the words, like I can't be completely uncool.
Speaker 3 (24:17):
Yeah, but my whole thing.
Speaker 2 (24:19):
About RIZ is like, isn't riz technically already in the dictionary?
Speaker 3 (24:24):
I don't know? Is it it is?
Speaker 2 (24:26):
Riz is short for charisma?
Speaker 3 (24:28):
It is?
Speaker 2 (24:29):
It is? Yes, get it the risk karma?
Speaker 3 (24:34):
Yes, No, it makes sense. I had no idea this
whole time. I didn't.
Speaker 1 (24:37):
I had no idea where it actually came from. I
didn't know where the riz was.
Speaker 3 (24:41):
It's our z Z.
Speaker 1 (24:43):
How do I put that in the middle of charisma
because there's no z's in charisma.
Speaker 2 (24:47):
I mean, I'll give you that. It is. It's a
it's a tough translate there, Like, I'll give you that.
But yeah, charisma. We already have had this word. We've
had this word for a million years. Why do we
need its like slang term to be in the dictionary.
Speaker 3 (25:00):
We don't. And I'm with you.
Speaker 1 (25:01):
If you want to make a separate slang dictionary like
Urban Dictionary one of my favorite spots on the internet, name,
then put it in that I have. I look, I
am a purist. I believe wholeheartedly in the Lord, My Savior,
the Oxford Comma.
Speaker 2 (25:19):
Yeah, oh, God, I love a comma.
Speaker 1 (25:20):
I love, I love a good comma, especially the Oxford commam.
So I want and my wife doesn't. It's one of
It's one of our great battles in.
Speaker 2 (25:29):
My marriage, the great debate.
Speaker 1 (25:31):
She is modern and doesn't care for the Oxford comma.
She thinks it's unnecessary. I am a traditionalist. I want
my Oxford coma same anyway. She believes in commas in general.
It's not like a dinosaur thing.
Speaker 2 (25:46):
She just doesn't think, God, that would be hilarious. She's
just one run on sentence all the time.
Speaker 1 (25:51):
Yeah, thank god we're not dealing with that type of scenario.
But yeah, so I know Merriam Webster will start adding
in these new words, and they used to be like
a handful each year, so I'm not used to the
like five thousand number. That is definitely extreme. But at
one point I think they were only adding words to
the online version of the dictionary, not the print version,
(26:15):
which I believe Miriam Webster was treating like the word Bible.
So okay, they're not unless they've changed it.
Speaker 2 (26:23):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (26:24):
They weren't going to be adding things like riz or
beast mode into the hard bound Bible version of the
Dictionary online thing, Fine, we'll put it in there, so
I hope I hope that they've maintained that.
Speaker 2 (26:37):
Thank you for clarifying that. That's giving me so much
peace of mind, because I really was thinking, we're about
to hit a point where it's going to be the Dictionary,
right and Urban Dictionary, and then we're going to combine
as one, and before we know it, we're no longer
going to have Dictionary and it's just going to be
Urban Dictionary, and then we're going to have ourselves in
idiocracy situation. Not that we aren't already almost in idiocracy,
(27:01):
Oh we are. By the way, That's a movie. If
no one has seen it. If you haven't seen that,
I highly recommend.
Speaker 1 (27:06):
It's a movie that is, over the course of its lifespan,
has moved from comedy fiction into documentary.
Speaker 2 (27:14):
You are absolutely correct. Anytime I watch it, I will
post about it because it is absolutely and easily in
my top five favorite movies of all time. And when
I post that I'm watching it, I'm like, this documentary
is so good.
Speaker 3 (27:26):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (27:27):
In addition to it nailing reality show slash Wrestler in Chief. Yes, Crocs,
you know how popular crocs are today. Yes, they were central.
They were a central item to the plot and to
setting up the future in the movie Idiocricy.
Speaker 2 (27:49):
Do you know the backstory of that, right? They literally
were like, go find the ugliest shoe on the market
that you can find. That's what we want everybody to
be wearing in the future. In the future exactly. So
they go out, they find these shoes, crocs, and they're like,
oh my god, these are the worst shoes you've ever seen.
(28:09):
They're so ugly.
Speaker 3 (28:11):
These are the pontiac as texts of feet.
Speaker 2 (28:13):
Oh my god, yes, my in laws had one of those.
By the way. Anyway, so they get to a point
before they had started filming and they're like, ooh, maybe
we shouldn't use crocs. Maybe this is too like mean,
we're gonna ruin this company. They legitimately had a question
of that they might actually ruin a company by putting
them in the movie. I don't know where along the
(28:35):
way they were like, ask, screw it, let's do it,
and they put crocs in the movie. And then fast
forward twenty years later and crocs are literally the most
popular shoe on the planet right now. I think everybody
I know has a pair. I will never have a pair.
But to each his own.
Speaker 3 (28:49):
I tried, I tried, No.
Speaker 2 (28:51):
You did not. I heard they're comfortable. Pang on, Sorry,
I go mad. They're so ugly.
Speaker 3 (28:57):
You are so judging.
Speaker 2 (28:58):
Yeah, I am very judging.
Speaker 3 (29:00):
Thank you for that. Though.
Speaker 1 (29:03):
I tried Crocs years ago for yard shoes. Yeah, okay,
so I had them. I mean we're talking like two
thousand and six to two thousand and eight, you know, right,
except that, and then I had some like five five
years ago or so.
Speaker 3 (29:22):
Again.
Speaker 1 (29:22):
I had them for yard shoes at the time we
had chickens, and so those are the shoes I kept
by the back door that I would wear into the
backyard to take the dogs out or go do something
chicken or pool related. Those that's what those shoes were for.
Now they're used for everything.
Speaker 2 (29:41):
Oh so you're a convert then?
Speaker 3 (29:42):
Oh wait, sorry, I.
Speaker 2 (29:43):
Need I thought you were gonna tell me this great
story about how you tried, tried, tried, and then now
you you never wear them?
Speaker 3 (29:48):
No, no, no, definitely not. I'm sorry I said that poorly.
Speaker 1 (29:51):
Now I do not own any Crocs, and I certainly
don't own any croc charms.
Speaker 2 (29:59):
But well, something super creepy about a forty year old
something man with croc charms. From me, that's a red flag.
Speaker 1 (30:09):
From experience, I can tell you you have no idea
how right you are. But I do not own crocs anymore.
They were they were my yard shoes, and they eventually
got lost, damage, whatever, and I didn't replace them because
I didn't care to.
Speaker 2 (30:25):
Okay, thank goodness, I'm very happy to hear that.
Speaker 1 (30:28):
Not a great story, but just offering some context that
I have tried them.
Speaker 2 (30:34):
I mean, I appreciate your willingness to, you know, go
a little bit outside the box and try something that
maybe you normally wouldn't do or wear. I appreciate that
because that says something about you as a person. But
then to make the decision that they suck, good job.
Speaker 3 (30:50):
I've limited it to the backyard and never in public.
Speaker 2 (30:53):
Right, Oh god, bless you? Like I'm sorry. I don't
get it. I will never get it.
Speaker 1 (31:00):
Are crocs the word, not the shoes? Are crocs in
the dictionary? In the Merriam Webster dictionary.
Speaker 2 (31:06):
Ooh, that's a good question. Surely by now they are?
Speaker 1 (31:08):
They have to be right, well, I mean, if they're
adding five thousand new words to the Merriam Webster Dictionary.
I'm assuming that's in there, along with some other words
that I probably have no idea about. Like I just
learned about RIZ today. I knew what it was, but
I didn't know where it came from. So now I'm
glad I know that.
Speaker 2 (31:25):
Yeah, now you're cool. You can be hip with.
Speaker 3 (31:26):
The kids, so I can use RIZ.
Speaker 2 (31:30):
Yep, try it, try it, say it in the sentence.
Let's hear you say RIZ, and you got to pull
it off? Cool?
Speaker 3 (31:38):
All right? I can't. I just can't. I'm sorry.
Speaker 1 (31:44):
The only thing I could come the only thing I
could possibly come up is like that guy's got rizz.
Speaker 3 (31:49):
That's all I got.
Speaker 1 (31:53):
That Really the reason I'm going to I hate being
vulnerable and I'm going to keep doing it on this show.
Speaker 3 (31:59):
How dare you you pull this out of me?
Speaker 1 (32:01):
So the reason I know what RIZ means is because
of a video I saw on Instagram that showed Tom
Holland in a movie. It might be at the beginning
of Now You See Me two or something, and it
shows him interacting with this female with a couple of
little magic tricks and he picks her pocket and the
title of the video was Tom Holland has riz, and
(32:24):
so because of the video and the context, I was like, Okay,
now I know what riz.
Speaker 3 (32:28):
Means, but I didn't. He does have RIZ, but I
had no idea. It was short for charisma.
Speaker 2 (32:33):
Yeah, charisma, ye old charisma.
Speaker 3 (32:38):
Speaking of ye old.
Speaker 1 (32:40):
And Merriam Webster, you know how there's some social media
accounts that you just need to follow. Wendy's is an
all timer. Yeah, so good Wendy's. Wendy is queen of snark. Agreed,
Merriam Webster is not far by. Heind Wendy's yep, especially
(33:02):
from just a just a few weeks ago when Merriam
Webster posted booty and butt are synonyms. Call and dial
are synonyms, but a booty call and a butt dial
are very different things.
Speaker 2 (33:20):
Yes, yes, oh they're social media people don't get paid enough.
Speaker 3 (33:27):
No, they do not.
Speaker 1 (33:28):
They absolutely do not. They are a treasure and they
are to be heralded much like we are. If I
may speak so boldly, with just a splash of riz, ah,
you did it. If you are listening to us, follow

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist
It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
