Nancy and Tonya: The Whack Heard 'Round the World

It’s the rivalry that shook the world of figure skating and turned into one of the juiciest scandals in sports history. In this episode, we’re diving deep into the icy feud between Nancy Kerrigan and Tonya Harding—the grace versus grit matchup that spiraled out of control. We’ll unpack who these women were, how their careers collided, and how a pipe to the knee turned into an international media circus. From Olympic dreams and jealous grudge matches to scheming ex-husbands, shady “bodyguards,” and a skating scandal that still lives in infamy—this one has it all. Strap on your skates, grab your sequined costume, and prepare for drama on ice that makes pro wrestling storylines look tame.

I put it on and her grandma you know who

(04:18):
she is. She's just a horny old woman. And I
put it on a Christmas time and she's like, I
fucking love that shit. I think she took it from
her husband and gave it to me. Probably, did I
look back on that. I should have capitalized in that
old woman. He's ninety now, but back then she had

(04:40):
the old bull seventy. I did see her sucking her
husband's dick one time while I was ever there hanging
out with my girlfriend. That's pretty cool. Yeah, she was
getting it. Didn't look like it was a good job,
but nonetheless it's a job effort. I can appreciate effort. Yeah,
if you're still if you're still giving an effort after
that long, then good for you. Yeah. No, my daughter,

(05:05):
my thirteen year old daughter is having you know, she
got a boyfriend. One of her friends is trying to
like one of her friends used to date the boy,
so they're kind of they were kind of beef and whatever.
And the dad of the other girl was sitting next
to me at the at the football game last night
to talk to me about it. We're both same wavelength. Okay,

(05:26):
he's telling me about his colonoscopy and shit, Okay, that's
cool as fuck. Completely same with good guy, same wavelength. Yeah. Nonetheless,
my mom called me. She was of the game and
her my dad were like, hey, we're up at the game.
They beat me up there. They're like, it's really freaking
it's brisk. Yeah, can you bring us some coats or
blankets or something. I'm like, yeah, it's fine, whatever. I

(05:49):
brought my dad like my favorite flannel. It's like a
flannel jacket with Shirpa line. I brought that, and I
brought my mom another coat I have, and my dad
put the coat on and uh, it was a little snug,
but he still wore the shit out of it. Yeah okay.
And then we went up into the bleachers and sat down,
and then I was talking to the other dad and

(06:11):
my dad just leaned forward and he had these new
pants he just got from Sam's Club. They are like
tissue paper. They're literally nothing. It's like my dad's saying
their naked. I told him I can completely see his balls,
and he's just like, fucking cur okay, okur you like
my nuts, Get a good look, queer. Oh the long balls.

(06:31):
They called me nut munching McFee. Oh my goddamn nut muncher.
He's wearing these tissue pants and he's got my coat on.
And I told the dude, like the dad I was
talking to him. I said, yeah, got these old fogies
over here. I had to bring him coats up. He's like, oh,
they got your coats. I was like, yeah, I was
just trying and keep them warm. Man. No sooner than
I say that, my dad leans forward and just an

(06:55):
earth shattering, unearthly, just a gurgling fart, just like just
it's not like a spaceship laying in a swamp. That's
what it sounded like. That his pretty essentially his bare
ass on the on the plastic bleacher seats. It wasn't
the metal bleach, it was the plastic one that was
the vip seats, so it cupped the fart. It was like,

(07:20):
it's not like a Carlo on oil, is what it's.
He had some rods knocked in his fucking torque. Converter
was all locked up. Man, the drive the fucking drive,
chaft broke loose, and you just got he was trying
to get out of the mud over there, and that
dad heard it and I was just like, oh man,

(07:44):
And he's like, you're gonna a trash back for that coat.
I was like, fuck, yeah, I am. That's disgusted. And
then the end of the night, my dad's like, oh
you want this back washing it first, burn it. My
mom's like, you you don't ee poop on it? Yeah?

(08:06):
I think when it's fucking underwear, what's you give me
your problem, old lady. He was already wearing tissue paper.
That's what you give her. Putting him in eight ninety
nine Sam's club pants, I was like, man, those things
are super thin. He's like, oh, oh girl, he's cargo pockets.
Like who who the fuck uses cargo pockets? Anyways? Right,

(08:28):
this is out of control. That's great. Hey, come to
our live show October eleventh in Dallas, Texas. We sold
a bunch of tickets the other day. We we are
skimming the barrel now, so I think we're gonna have
to uh yeah, you start getting people in there. You
went on this big ran about how you fucking think

(08:50):
it's so disgusting when people on the podcasts is okay, okay,
I think burping you can help it, partying it, you
can help a fart. Oh Not everyone's like you.

Speaker 2 (09:04):
Not.

Speaker 1 (09:04):
Oh that's true. You're a pure fucking athlete. Not everybody's
like that. So I can't stop stuff like when things
like that happen to me. They've got tot cheeks. My
body responds, yeah, fight or flight, that's true. My doctor
told me about it. We're caveman, dude, We're trained to
fight bears and caves. We can't hold farts, he explained it.

(09:25):
All some things you can control, and farts aren't one
of them. October eleventh, you want tickets, go to Brohio
podcast dot com slash tickets and you can buy them
through the link or the article. This week, okay, nine
minutes and forty five seconds. All right, there's a new
dating trend to foot and experts say it needs to

(09:46):
get sent back to far far away. It's called shreking. Yes,
let's go. Why are you doing in my swamp? So
I don't be fooled though the uh. The term derives
its name from the wholesome animated film Shrek The Dating World,
It's anything but charming. Shreking involves dating someone you're not
attracted to and hopes that this person will treat you

(10:07):
better in return because they have no fucking standards. Oh,
I don't want this person to leave. Princess Fiona took
a chance on Shrek and that turned out right great
for her. Right. This is from Yahoo New or Yahoo Unfortunately,
when you get shrecked, it means the person you lowered

(10:27):
your standards for still ended up hurting you. As Amy Chan,
a dating coach and the author of Breakup boot Camp
The Science of Rewiring your Heart puts it in this
plot line, you're dating an ogre without the princess treatment.
The term might be new, but the behavior isn't. Plenty
of people have put looks lower in the list and
hoped attraction would grow over time. That in itself isn't

(10:49):
a bad thing. When it backfires is when someone assumes
that just because they're dating down and looks, they'll automatically
be treating better. The problem with shreking, I got a
green dick, dude, I bet you. My wife feels like
she has to do this tricking that's a great term.
Man like that maybe a new addition to the modern

(11:11):
dating lexicon, but it's long been a universal experience. We've
all been there when TikToker says, we give the guy
we're not attracted to a chance, thinking that you will
for sure nobody has and treat us well, and then
we get traumatized my fucking trol. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (11:29):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (11:29):
This article goes on, maybe you've gotten shrecked, maybe you
are a shrek. Uh oh, well, yeah, I think I
my wife that's probably what she was trying to do. Sure,
fucking this dumb, fucking bastard, you who are a project,
this fat pants bitch, You've fallen into the mindset and

(11:50):
gotten shrek. Chance says not to give up or go
back to dating only people who fall within narrow beauty standards. Instead,
she says, it's an opportunity to get even clear sure
on what your non negotiables are for a partner, no
matter what they look like. I could not date in
the modern world. I can't even make new friends, well
alone date people. Yeah, your dad farts on everybody. Man,

(12:12):
my dad, he farts in my coats. That's disgusting. I
want to I'm gonna make him pay for that coat.
You should somewhere or another. Yeah, I believe you should.
After sixteen twenty six, so he got me my first

(12:32):
cell phone when I was sixteen. Last month I've got
off of his cell phone plan. Oh shit, look at you. Yeah,
it's not been fun. Yeah. So now my cell phone
bill no longer. I gotta pay for everybody now, including myself.
It's just been really stressful trying to work through that. Yeah,
I'm sorry about that man. So I guess he is

(12:54):
entitled to fart in my coat. Yeah, a couple of them.
He's invested a lot into me over the year. Right,
all right, here's a break for a you of our sponsors.
Welcome back everybody. Oh shit, did you hear that you

(13:16):
did the microphone? Pick that up? Oh? Absolutely, My fucking
gizzard's making noises. If you guys, go back and rewind.
There it went again. You can hear my gizzard leaking.
It's because I'm drinking a diet coke. Let's go over
the ingredients real quick. We got carbonated water, caramel color aspartame,

(13:42):
phosphoric acid, potassium, benzo benzo eight, the protect taste, natural flavors,
citric acid, caffeine. Then we got flinnicking economics fo carnarnix
in fenyl endin. Oh fuck, so fucking blown air gasketting
your gizzard, dug, that's why my gizzards leaking. I don't

(14:07):
need to go fund me. I'm fine. You just gotta
blease your gasket. Oh fuck, I'm gonna be okay. Yeah,
you'll make it, you'll live, all right. Uh one of
this is one of those episodes that we've been I
don't know. This is something we should have done a

(14:29):
long time ago. And this is gonna be a fun episode. Yeah,
this is This was huge. Two ice skaters beating each
other up. Great. I think one did the beaten, but
you don't know that the other one just cried. I
didn't know. I honestly don't. I did not know the
know the details of this story is fucking great. I
know somebody got beat up. Somebody was talking too much.
Ship That's usually how it works. Wait till I catch

(14:53):
you on the ice, and that's you don't You don't
funk with her Tanya Harding back in January of nineteen
ninety four, That's when it all happened. January sixth, nineteen
ninety four, the figure skating world was rocked, rocked and
shocked by an event dubbed the whack herd around the world. Man,
I fucking had one of those the other day. It

(15:15):
was great.

Speaker 2 (15:17):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (15:17):
I enjoy a good whack every once in a while. Yeah. Sorry,
my wife's text me about dinner sounds good. I don't listen. Listen, listen. Okay,
let's put this out there. Sure for every single couple
listening to this podcast, women, you are you're the picky eaters. Okay,

(15:39):
you know what I don't want. I don't want to
single out the ladies because I've recently met some men
that only that are forty and and we'll only eat
chicken tenders. That's weird, that's autism, that's I'm well, I
can't diagnose it. Sorry. There was stuff moving, and the
there was grass moving. As a fucking backfeed from your
air gas. My gizzard's starting to pushing back backfired. It's

(16:01):
got a double leak. No, it's usually women and children
that are the picky eaters. I can speak for myself.
I'll eat cat food. I don't care. I don't care
what we eat. Same. Yeah, if you bring home a
log of baloney, dude. You know what I'm gonna be
be like a hell hell yeah, yeah, hell yeah dude,
that's what I'm gonna do. I don't care, Like it's

(16:23):
just poloni for dinner. Dude. We just oh yeah, we
don't care, do we know? We don't care. I mean,
we definitely have preferences, but it's not like it's not
something that I don't think I've ever had a dinner
cooked at home that I'm like, yeah, I'm not eating that.
Once she did that to me. She made she found
a recipe that called for uh dujon mustard and maple

(16:43):
syrup and you mix those together. You get a really
good taste when you mix those together and you cook
it right. But at the time she wasn't much of
a cook, and she used yellow mustard and like some
fucking it Jemima's pancakes sirrup, And I said, what is
this monstrosity? It tastes like dog shit. And I told her,
I was like, you can eat this. And that's the
first time I've ever been like, Okay, no, I'm not

(17:05):
eating this. This is gamming me. Gag. Yeah, that does
sound appetizing. Nancy Carrigan and Tanya Harding were not just
rivals on the ice. They were polar opposites and background
style and public perceptions, and the media kind of ran
with that. The media created the good versus evil narrative
for the for the build up to the Olympics. Yeah,
and they were Olympic figure skaters, but their lives before

(17:28):
nineteen ninety four was kind of shaped by their by
their childhood, by what dude, I guess fucking shit going on. Man.
I know, I paid my power bill and they're still
calling me telling me they're just they're shutting it down.
I don't they They fixed their billing system. It's a
long story, but they keep calling me, and I don't

(17:48):
want to talk nice. Sometimes you just gotta. I'm busy. Yeah, right,
we're doing cool shit. Nancy Kerrigan, she was the All
American ice Princess is what they refer to her as.
She was born in the October of nineteen sixty nine
in Stoneham, Massachusetts, but she grew up in a blue collar,

(18:10):
supportive family. Her dad was a welder, which I think
is just phenomenal, phenomenal work if you can you get
into that for sure. He worked multiple jobs to make
sure that she could do her figure skating, and sometimes
for extra money and to save money at the rink,
he would actually drive the zamboni to cut cost. There.

(18:32):
My favorite pasta craft you like craft or just like
grocer brand zamboni and meatballs. Dude, Fuck up a zamp pile, Well,
fuck up a pile of zamboni, fucking bull zamboni, dude.
Her mother, Brenda, was legally blind, so of no use

(18:53):
to the family, adding emotional weight at the Nancy's drive
to succeed. She was an awful figure skater. Yeah, Karrigan's upbringing,
it was very stable. She had two older brothers, her
extended family was always in her life, cheering her on.
And she started figure skating at the age of just six.
And she showed a lot of natural grace, a lot

(19:14):
of natural athleticism, and people will say that even from
a very young age she appeared to be like a
ballerina on skates. By her teens, she was landing major sponsorships.
She was a spokesperson for Campbell's Revlon Rebock. She was

(19:35):
had this projection of a wholesome this wholesome image, just
elegance and beauty. They kind of build her up to
this this figure. She was more than a figure skater.
She was an actual, like an icon really, and I
didn't realize the scale of her notoriety at the time

(19:58):
how famous she was. But going back and doing the
research for this episode, she was kind of a she
was a huge deal in America kind of you know,
we all know who Simone Biles is. Yeah, probably got
some fucking tight ass butt cheeks on her. But Nancy
Care again much the same, just a bay back in
the day. Okay, she was old enough then, so I

(20:20):
can say bad things about her. Yeah, I just remember
the not even that I remember. Maybe it's just something
that I throughout the years have kind of understood. I
remember the build up for the build up for the
competition and just it was huge. I mean, it was
just it was fucking nuts. And then of course everything happened,
well some stuff happened, But I didn't I didn't know

(20:42):
she was like really popular before that Campbell's Rebok, Revlan
you name it.

Speaker 2 (20:51):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (20:52):
Her skating, it was fluid, she had pristine costumes, she
had polished demeanor. It just made her perfect for the
media to kind of gobble her up. But but and
we love butts of this podcast Behind the Scenes Nancy Carrigan.
She was not flawless. She could be fiercely competitive and

(21:17):
occasionally shows some the ability to be incredibly ungracious. We'll
call it a little bit of unsportsmanship, and if we
had to use a more formal word, we would say county. Okay,
I love that word. She was a little cunty from
what I understand, and this is displayed in her frustration

(21:40):
after taking silver at the nineteen ninety four Olympics, but
also silver, Yeah, I'll throw that in the trash. It's
not even worth anything. Then there was a clip I
found of her doing multiple segments at Disney. Okay, they're
the people making the show. Had to be like, I'll

(22:04):
get your shit together, smile, pretend like you want to
be here. And then in the parade, she didn't realize
she was miked up with Mickey Mouse, but the entire
time she's telling Mickey Mouse, this is awful, this is
so corny. I hate this, this is stupid. You're the
fucking Marshall of the parade. That's what every girl dreams of,

(22:26):
is to be like the central Princess and the Disney
Parade just smiling ways. Oh boy, don't break protocol. Muska muska,
hold on, I got the clip from a play for

(22:46):
you guys.

Speaker 3 (22:47):
Bill Kerrigan finally showed up only seconds before the end
of the show. Kerrigan even had to be coached to smile.
Now listen carefully to the off camera voice that has
to tell her to smile.

Speaker 1 (23:00):
Honey, what's this one?

Speaker 3 (23:03):
This is going to be uplinked to most of the
stations across the country that are eager.

Speaker 2 (23:06):
To hear about him.

Speaker 3 (23:08):
We have an attitude problem here.

Speaker 1 (23:09):
Just wanted to welcome you back during her parade, and
you know, you guys can barely hear it, but they
tell her what she's It's gonna be broadcast across all
the stage. She goes, oh my god. And it wasn't nervous.
It was more like, I'm fucking sick of this shit.

Speaker 3 (23:22):
It looks like an annoyance it, Kragan complained to Mickey Mouse.
It's so corny, so dumb.

Speaker 1 (23:28):
I hate it.

Speaker 3 (23:29):
The most corny thing I've ever done. Disney also arranged
for Kerrigan to make appearances on the morning talk shows
Today in LA Viewers got only an empty chair until
Kerragan finally showed up only seconds before the end of the.

Speaker 1 (23:51):
Show, Hi Southern California.

Speaker 3 (23:54):
Apparently somebody forgot to remind Nancy Kerrigan that Disney is
paying her a reported two million dollars to make television
appearances like these, a movie and a TV deal. It
looks like Disney has a frosty ice princess on their hands. Yes,
and like it or not, you're gonna get a lot
more of icy Nancy. Today she signed yet another multi

(24:14):
million dollar deal, this time with a Revlon cosmetics company.
She's already got deals with Campbell, Soup and of course
Reebok and President Clinton today invited Nancy in the entire
Olympic team to the White House. It is not known though,
if Tanya Harding got the same invitation.

Speaker 1 (24:30):
Oh you know what he invited her for it. I'd
like to talk to you about that Revlon deal that
you signed.

Speaker 2 (24:37):
I know you like putting on lipstick, but I've got
a pink tube I'd like to put around your lips.
I know you're probably thinking I've been getting some solid
steady from Hillary, but she ain't fucked me in twenty years.
I had to let the intern blow me the other day.

(24:57):
This is about the same time made.

Speaker 1 (24:58):
A mess of address. Uh so Nancy care again while
she was at media darling he was a bit of
an asshole, a little fucking whiny shit, fucking cranky two million,
two million dollars A pointed the fucking smiling wage two
million dollars set on a float with Mickey Mouse on,

(25:20):
had his little red shorts pulled down around his ankles,
blown as a little hairy wiener.

Speaker 2 (25:23):
Dude.

Speaker 1 (25:26):
All the little kids at Disney be like, mom, he's
sucking Mickey Mouse's dick for two million dollars more. I'll
suck your mom's dick too. It's the question we always asked,
do you think Nickey asked a red rocket or a
normal email. He got a hairy dick. But it's like
an inside out dick like the dogs or is it

(25:47):
like a humans phallock dick? What if we did just
like gas ourselves up to eventually get to Disney and
deep and deep pants him and his fucking shorts really
did come down like they're not they're not part of
the costume. What it was really a dicky put dick
on the costome. You just saw Mickey's many God, oh

(26:16):
my god, oh ship. You don't want to get You
don't want to get h Donald involved. He's gotta he'll
blow your cover and your load. Tanya Harding she wasn't
a cunt like Nancy. Oh shit, all right. Tanya Harding

(26:42):
was born in nineteen seventy in Portland, Oregon. Shit well
the homeless drug addicts that Oregon trail, Yeah, buddy. She
lived through typhoid. The rest of the family died. She
came from a world far removed from Nancy Carrigan, right,
So she was raised by her mother, Levana Levana Golden.

(27:05):
That's that seems like a classy name. Levana. You think
you can get your mother Levana to buy us a
pack of cigarettes? Do you remember when you smoked your
first cigarette?

Speaker 3 (27:21):
No?

Speaker 1 (27:22):
Never have You've never smoked a cigarette, never smoked? Brother?
Where to God? Would you smoke him? Intol? If I
got one for you, I'd take a puff. You've ever
smoked a cigarette? Like even whenever drunk? Never even taken
a fucking puff of one? Why? I don't know. I
mean I've only I've probably smoked three. I've probably smoked
three whole cigarettef you can buy in all times, I've

(27:43):
taken a puff of a cigarette. Yeah, I'd say maybe
two whole cigarettes my whole life. Never had any interest whatsoever.
And you know, when I used to work on the
drill rig, everyone around me smoked, and one one summer,
to gain their respect, I bought a uh a box
of camel crush cigarettes with your cigarettes. It's got a

(28:04):
little uh got took a tube of come in it
and you crush it and actually it's a bulb. It's
a it's a camel cigarette and there's a little ball
in it, and then you crush the ball and the
whole cigarette fills up like menthol liquid really and it
makes it just like really menthol ly h. That's interesting,
it is. It's cool they do. They'll make the do

(28:46):
who I worked with, he's like he's like I'm out
of cigarettes, and I said, you want all these camel crushes?
And this is like I'd have these things in my
fucking sleep like two months. He's like, yeah, I'll take one.
And I took him out of my sleeve and they
still had the plastics wrap on him. Damn it, there's
still factory fresh. And I opened him and he's like, oh,

(29:08):
you just buy this pack. I was like about two
months ago. I just had to roll up my sleeve
for apparent's sakes, and he said, you gotta just use
an empty cart and I like, it's not the same man.
This is what I wanted to happen. I wanted somebody
to ask me for one. Uh shit, Okay. Harding had

(29:34):
a little bit more of a uh we'll say, gritty life.
There was some voltyle, very volatile household. There was some
alleged physical and emotional abuse. Sorry her mother, LaVona, she
was a waitress, but she pushed Tanya into skating at
age three, reportedly using harsh tactics to drive her daughter's ambition. Now,

(29:58):
her father al some stability until her mom and dad
divorced when Tanya was a teenager, but she didn't let
that stop her. She went on the drop out of
high school focus on skating. Geese, dude, that's wild. She
was a prodigy though she had raw athleticism, skating to

(30:19):
heavy metal music and homemade costumes and it kind of
it really clashed with everything that figured skating stood for
at the time, and I did not realize how rough
around the edges she was. Nancy Carrigan was this graceful,
prim proper ice queen essentially, And Nancy Kerrigan or Tanya

(30:40):
Harding's out there skating to you know, in her sandman
shit wherein you know, just some piece together costumes, which
is fucking track marks on her arm. But she literally
had she possessed power in her lower body that was
unrivaled by anybody else in the sport. Yeah, thick ass dude. Actually,

(31:04):
she made a sex tape with her husband and I
watched it. Yeah, And if you guys look up Nancy No,
I'm sorry, I keep on getting the names mixed up.
If you look up Tanya Harding sex tape, it's on
a website called Motherless and you can watch the whole,
entire thirty minute sex tape. And it was she's in

(31:24):
lingerie but her husband at the time, did a really
good job making love to her. I didn't watch the
whole thing. I'm like that. Boys, that's a boy. That's
a strong boy. Okay, so don't hesitate you guys, want
to do any further reading on this episode, that's a
good place to start. Watch your getting fucking bounded. Yeah,

(31:49):
I mean he did a nice job. Man. I was like,
you know what if I if this was an instructional
or a tutorial video, it would be completely believable. Okay,
yeah it was man, it was good. They weren't acting. No,
they weren't acting, buddy. In nineteen ninety one, she made
history as the first American woman to land a triple
axle in competition, a feat that showcased her power, but

(32:12):
it didn't win her the endorsements that Nancy Kerrigan enjoyed.
The rebok the Revlin, Oh boy, the Disney parades, you
didn't get all that. The sport. They called her an outcast.
They resented her. She was skating to fucking pearl jam
and shit, they didn't like that. Corney Corney Love killed

(32:38):
Kurt Cobain. And here we got Tanya Harding skating in
a potato sack to Pantera instead of Disney. She's getting
drug behind a County Fair roller coaster. Yeah, so this
is kind of when the rivalry began. You had this
rough and tough Tanya, hardy, rough around the edges, but

(33:02):
just pure possessed so much raw athleticism, raw talent. Then
you have this Nancy care again, who's a trained athlete
just about all the things that the sport is about,
the perfect costume, perfect proper, perfect makeup. The media absolutely

(33:25):
staged these two against one another. The age Old tail
Man it is, and it was good television. It was
good media. It made for great story and made you
want to watch figure skating at a time that wasn't
cool to necessarily be in love with figure skating. But
they they did what they had to do to make

(33:45):
it important, and I don't blame them for it. I
like the WNBA. Now, well, someone keeps on throwing green
dildos on the floor, and I, you know, I try
and stay out of political shit, but we got to
figure out what the fuck is going on with the
green dildos. So he got arrested. One guy did Are
they still doing it? I know you think it's funny,

(34:07):
but could you imagine oh, I was sick. This is
not funny, Robert. Could you imagine me at your desk
at work, plugging away at some reports and then a
green dildo flies across the room. How fucking stressful that
would be probably be mine? Do you get out of there?
I have the corn bildo at my work, at my office,

(34:29):
and it's so that I heard something the other day
talking like how would you like to be working? And
someone starts throwing six toys across the office. Dude, I
would fucking love it. I lose my ship. Someone's got
to get a poopy one on the floor. One of
our guys has a chocolate dildos and there was a

(34:51):
chocolate dick. Yeah, someone threw one on the one of
the preseason games, might have been the Eagles or something
that there was like a meme on net like it's
it's them rolling. This is a trend I could get behind.
I like it for one. At first. At first, when

(35:13):
the green dildos are flying onto the court, they're like,
oh my god. You know they'd use like towels, they
wouldn't touch them, and ship like they take somebody who
like took it to the bathroom and stuck up their
ass and then launched it on the court. Thing's never
been used now. But now when they fly on the court,
they just fucking kick them across the floor just they

(35:34):
pay no attention to them. They just they literally drop
kick him into the like into the stands and just
keep on playing. And it's really taken away from it.
They just ignore it. They just yeah, they don't care anymore.
But it's still fun that just this is caught on
that Hey, we're gonna launch green dildos onto the under
the just so stupid. For anybody coming to our live

(35:56):
show in Dallas, Texas, we'd love for you to throw
a green floppy at us. That that would make me
happier than for someone just to uncork a fat green
one at us. Please, I'll sit on it, I don't
instead of right next to fucking old Girth. I'll stick
it on Girth's head. Get my little friend suction into

(36:16):
his balls. This episode of the Brhyo Podcast has brought

he's got a dick girl in STD. He's like a stegosaurus,
but with dicks. That's good, like a spine spine of dicks.

(40:15):
That's cool as fuck. You wasn't carrying that monstrosity out.
It wouldn't be hard for me to do it, you
know what I mean. Do you remember Indiana Show. We
were carrying him out to the car. We had a
sheet on him, and we were like, hey, let's drop
him in the middle of the road when all these
cars are coming by. Oh yeah, we waited for a

(40:36):
fucking car they let us buy in the middle of it.
We dropped it and I hud onto the sheet. This
huge just flops on the road. The people they were laughing,
We're sorry. There was like that video that went viral.

(40:56):
I showed it. There was something We're out with friends, yeah,
and uh, I was like, get a load of this
and I pop a trunk and that guy's like, oh,
there's fucking awesome. And he picked it up and he's
holding it over his head. Oh yeah. Yeah. And there
was like this viral video on Instagram. This old man
holding the giant dick above his head. That yeah, that
was girth. Great man. We gotta do that, we can

(41:17):
we can just do that one day, just yeah, take
it out. And that's a good idea. It's a great idea.
So this, uh, this rivalry, it wasn't about skating. It
was a cultural clash by the I mean the people
watching the media. They are all hungry for drama. By

(41:38):
the early nineteen nineties, both women were top US skaters
vying for Olympic Olympic glory and Olympic spots. Their competition
began to take shape at the nineteen ninety one US
Figure Skating Championships, where Harding's triple axle propelled her to
the title, edging out Nancy Carrigan, who took bronze at

(41:58):
the World Championships that year. So you gotta chill out
them DC's man. In nineteen ninety two, at the Albertville Olympics,
Carrigan won bronze while Harding finished fourth. And this this
finished this gap, but kind of intensified the rivalry. At
this point, the the press painted Nancy Carrigan as the graceful,

(42:22):
marketable star and Harding as the rough edged heroin addict
I'm sorry underdog, a narrative that that ignored their their
their actual similarities. Both came from working class roots and
exaggerated their differences. And the most of this rivalry was
the media's fault. Sure it was they were I mean,

(42:47):
obviously they were fierce competitors, but there was no physical
like and there was no like no physicalness between them,
you know, like I want to beat this bitch's ass
or yeah, things like that. The media kind of they
framed all of it. It was like Brittany and Christina. Yeah,
they always do that ship. Christina came out on top

(43:09):
on that one, didn't she Oh, boy, you remember I
want to talk to you something really personal. Sure for
a second. You know, a few months ago, maybe a
few weeks ago, I told you I wanted to start
trying to wear tighty whities, and I talked to Stacy
about it, and she made it bondingly clear that she

(43:31):
wouldn't fuck me anymore if I wore tighty whities, that
she wouldn't find it attractive. Sure, it's understandable they would
yuck her out, yea. And she said that she wouldn't
like it. A couple weeks ago, I acquired a single
pair of tidy whities, and what I've been doing is

(43:53):
I stop. I go to work, and there's a the
Love's truck stop on my seventy five, and I pull off,
and I go into Hearty's and I get two Simmons
Raisin biscuits. And then I go in the bathroom and
I put on the tidy whities. Okay, and I go
to work. Okay. I work all day in the teddy whities,

(44:14):
and then before I leave work, I go to the bathroom.
I stop, and I put my other underwear back on
before I get in the car and drive home. Okay,
So she doesn't know that I've been cross dressing. I mean,
has there been poop yet? I don't pay any attention.
I don't care. It's one pair. I don't have anywhere
to wash them, sure, much like my wash them here.

(44:36):
I remember what my optometrists said about wearing underwear U
til they're uncomfortable, right, talked about that. Yeah, So I
just that's cool, man, heavy burden to bear. Yeah, I
don't want her to know about it. Yeah, So we'll
just keep that to yourselves. Guys. I think it's gonna
be that's like an added letter into like the LGBTQ thing.
I was strictly doing at work, and I hit them

(44:59):
behind a trash can the bathroom, but they disappeared. I
went back to put them on and they were gone.
So I had to start using the loves truck stop.
I keep the underwear of my dashboard my glove box. Actually,
I take out my to take my dashboard off. I
hide it in the dashboard. I mean, whatever you gotta

(45:20):
do to get your fix in. I put them around
the cabin filter of the I can't figure out. You
can't figure out why my car smells the way it does. Now,
I know, it's the weirdest thing. My car smells like
cat pissed. I can't figure it out. It's like the
cat's meow. Pumpkins just wearing your fucking wace. Oh my god,

(46:03):
you know, roller man, it's so stupid. What is dumb?
Oh you guys, I don't know how you guys listen
to this. They've stopped. They've already stopped. See the ninety
four Winter Olympics and Lily Lilah Lily Hammer loomed as
their ultimate showdown, with only two US women's spots on

(46:25):
the team. The US Figure Skating Championships in Detroit just
a few weeks before, were a make or break moment.
Tanya Harding come off coming off a disappointing nineteen ninety
three season well she was desperate to reclaim her edge.
While Nancy Carrigan the defending ninety three champion, she was

(46:45):
the favored skater. The stage at this point was set
for a fierce competition between the two. The incident on
January sixth, nineteen, after a practice session at the Detroit's
Cobo Arena, Nancy Carrigan stepped off the ice and walked

(47:07):
down a corridor. A man later identified as Shane stant
rushed toward her and struck her right thigh with a
twenty one inch telescopic baton, aiming to break her leg.
The blow did not fracture the bone because it caused
severe bruising and swelling, forcing Nancy Caragan to withdraw from

(47:29):
the US Championships. Cameras captured her sobbing, clutching her knee
and crying, why why, why, why, that shit was legendary.
We're gonna play it for you. Hell yeah. Her father
carried her to safety, and the incident became instant tabloid fodder.

(47:50):
You thought they chopped her fucking leg off. That's the
start of it, looking like a white swan. This is
her skating. Here is her coming off the ice. God,
she was on love on the little skate condoms. You're

(48:17):
going to forward or he's hitting the Mariah carry notes?
Why why? Why? In some hard heart black sick it's
not even tears, really really hot. Help, we're gonna get

(48:42):
you there.

Speaker 2 (48:51):
It was.

Speaker 1 (48:53):
Okay, go up, get on side, right is secur You're
looking for the guy? What thought that way?

Speaker 2 (49:01):
You know, white guy thought at.

Speaker 1 (49:05):
White tall white guy with a with a leather jacket,
as anyone done this one.

Speaker 2 (49:15):
Why.

Speaker 1 (49:18):
What's funny is the guy said it was a tall
white guy. He put his hand like all the way
up here, like he was like nine foot tall, ten
foot tall reptilian. I the attack. It wasn't random. Within days,
the FBI uncovered a bizarre plot orchestrated by none other
than the porn star himself, Jeff Gillooly, which was Harding's

(49:38):
ex husband. He was the fellow hot dogging her down
in the second tape. In the video, hell you very
sensual lover, not a very good hit man, though while
it was her ex husband they were still living together
at the time, and Sean Eckert, who was Tanya Harding's bodyguard.

(50:00):
They hired Stant and his uncle Derek Smith to carry
out the assault with the goal of sidelining Nancy Carrigan
from the US Nationals and the Olympics, thus boosting Tanya
Harding's chances of winning it at all. The plan was sloppy. Stant,
the guy wielding the baton, had stalked Nancy Carrigan at

(50:22):
her Cape Cod rank in December nineteen ninety three. They
couldn't find her, leading to the Detroit attack. The group's
in competence would later unravel their scheme, though, but the
immediate aftermath was absolute chaos, and later interviews, Sean Stant,
the gentleman that actually assaulted her with the baton, said

(50:44):
the initial plan was to rush her and slit her. Achilles,
Oh fuck ah God, when I heard that, I got sick.

Speaker 3 (50:53):
Man.

Speaker 1 (50:54):
Ooh that would have sucked a fat one. Mmmm yeah,
that's a that's fucking you ain't using that leg. Well,
that's what I would have been doing. He had slip
my fat ass, Mike, heees, I would have been doing
the same thing. Where's Mickey Mouse? She would have thought

(51:14):
that fucking that parade was corny, then she'd have loved
have been standing up shit dude. The conspiracy was it
was wasn't so much like a mission impossible e Ocean's eleven.
It was more like a fucking low rent disaster. Jeff Gillooley,
a volta figure in Tanya Harding's life, had a history

(51:35):
of alleged abuse towards her, including attempts to break down
doors during arguments. Shawn Eckert, who was a four hundred
pound fantasist living in his parents' basement, boasted of connections
to Third world dictators, but what was mostly a delusional
fat fuck the actual hitman himself stant He was paid

(51:56):
sixty five hundred dollars with funds funneled through Efkerts from
Hilly Derek Smith, the uncle he served as the getaway driver.
The group's planning. It was awful. It was half hazard
at meetings and hotel rooms. They left a paper trail
that actually included a discarded note and a dumpster, allegedly
in Tanya Harding's perfectly matched handwriting listing. Nancy Kerrigan's practice

(52:21):
Rink and Dennis, Massachusetts top handwriting expert, linked the note
to Tanya Harding, though she denied involvement. Tanya Harding did.

Speaker 2 (52:32):
So.

Speaker 1 (52:32):
The first one to crack was Eckert, the uncle, investing
to the FBI on January twelfth, after the story broke
via an Oregonian reporter's tip from a private detective. Hiluly followed,
surrendering on January sixteenth and implicating Tanya Harding, claiming that
she knew of the plan beforehand. Now the actual hitman himself,

(52:56):
Stant and Smith. They were arrested soon after, with stant
turning himself in on January fourteenth. The confessions they kind
of they painted a picture of desperation and greed with
Tanya Harding's Olympic dreams at the center. But how did
Tanya know? How much did she know? She went on?

(53:17):
She went on to win that after what's her nuts
got hurt? Didn't she? I think she did? She did win? Yea, yeah.
In that question, it remains the kind of she was
never fully proven that she did or didn't know, And
that's kind of where it all gets. It gets a

(53:39):
little murky. And whether she knew absolutely, you and I
both know that she knew there's no way that man
was Ghilulei was fucking her like that and wasn't telling
her everything. Yeah, she she knew she definitely benefited from it,
so she yeah. She initially denied any knowledge, tear tearfully
proclaiming her innocence. Quote, despite my mistakes and rough hedges,

(54:05):
I have done nothing to violate the standard of excellent
and sportsmanship. But there were cracks that started to appear.
On March sixteenth, nineteen ninety four, Tanya Harding pleaded guilty
to conspiracy to hinder prosecution, admitting she helped cover up
the attack after the fact. She would go on to

(54:26):
receive three years probation, five hundred hours of community service
in a one hundred and sixty thousand dollars fine the
US Figure Skating Association or the USFSA for those of
you keeping track at home, bander for life just about
a month or two later, and stripped her nineteen ninety
four US Championship title, leaving it vacant now. Her ex

(54:52):
husband Gillluley and Eckert, the getaway driver, insisted she was
involved in the planning, with Giluly claiming Harding was upset
after a poor showing at the nineteen ninety three NHK
Trophy and wanted Nancy Kerrigan taking the fuck out The
dumpster note allegedly in her handwriting, suggested she provided Nancy

(55:15):
Kerrigan's skating rink details. Tanya Harding admitted to asking about
Kerrigan's practice schedule for a bet, claiming it was for
a quarter, but denied orchestrating the attack. That's such fucking
Bolognay crazy. In her two thousand and eight book The
Tanya Tape, she expressed anxiety over these questions, insisting she

(55:36):
was innocent of premeditation. UMM, there's been supporters over the
years that just blindly follow Tanya Harding and think that
she walks on water and that she had no idea
about any of this. There's some some speculate that that
Tanya Harding's mother, Levana, was involved. There no evidence supports that.

(55:58):
Others point to a staged death threat against Tanya Harding
in nineteen ninety three, which we will talk about that
more in just a minute. Despite the uh, despite the scandal,
both skaters competed in the nineteen ninety four Lillly Hammer Olympics.
Nancy Kerrigan remarkably recovered in time, or did she. Thanks

(56:21):
to the USFSA granting her a spot despite missing the nationals,
Tanya Harding won the US Championship in Kerrigan's absence, like
you said a few minutes ago, which secured her Olympic berth.
They were both on the Olympic team at this point.
They had cameras tracking their every move. They avoided one

(56:43):
another during practice and the tension was palpable, to say
the least. Nancy Kerrigan delivered a stellar performance, the earning
her a silver medal behind Ukraine's Oxana Bayoul. I have
heard that name in forever. Tanya Harding, though, however, she
faltered during her long program. She stopped mid routine citing
a broken skate lace. They gave her re escape. She

(57:05):
wanted to finish eighth. A fucking letdown. Yeah, that sucks.
In her post life, Nancy Carrigan has mainly of avoided
the cameras, kind of been a kind of been a
quiet life. She did go on was it Dancing with
the Stars. She did really well on there. I think

(57:28):
that was about ten years ago, a little less six
five six years five or six years ago. Nancy Kerrigan,
she emerged as a national hero. Her silver medal kind
of it helped cement her legacy. She got inducted into
the Figure Skating Hall of Fame. She worked as a
correspondent for the Olympics. But like we talked about her image,

(57:51):
it wasn't untarnished her her frustration at getting second place
in the Olympics. It was matched that within her fucking
shit ass attitude with a Disney parade. People were starting
to talk like, Okay, was she really injured as bad
as everyone says she was? Yeah. But in twenty ten,

(58:13):
tragedies struck when her brother Mark was convicted of assault
and battery after a fight that led to her father's
fatal heart attack. Harrigan stayed relatively private, marrying her agent,
Jerry Solomon. She released a children's book. She never received
a direct apology from Tanya Harding, though in a recent

(58:36):
interview she says, doesn't even fucking matter at this point,
you know, one of the apology doesn't mean but Tanya Harding,
who her life kind of unraveled after all, after all
this shit. She went on to be a boxer, good
for her three and three record. She became a wrestling coach.
She went on Dancing with the Stars in twenty eighteen,

(58:57):
where she plays third. She faced a lot of personal struggles.
She got a dui, there was an alleged suicide attempt.
There was a leak sex tape with the with her
with her husband, which I've you know, check it out.
Whatever research. In twenty ten, she married Joseph Jen's Price

(59:18):
and found some some stability, but the scandal it's kind
of been a shadow of her life ever since then.
She has expressed remorse over the years. She says that
she feels guilty for what happened, but maintained that she
did not have anything to do with the attack. There's

(59:38):
been conspiracy rumors over the years that, like you said,
whenever she's laying there, like why you like you said,
where's the tears?

Speaker 2 (59:49):
Man?

Speaker 1 (59:50):
Yeah? There was none, absolutely in the tears faked it.
I guess that doesn't make somebody not a true definition
of someone's either really hurt or not. One time I
got hit in the nuts, I didn't cry, but it
fucking hurt. Man. Yeah. When's the last time you cried
from pain from pain? Yeah? Oh mmm, probably when as

(01:00:12):
a kid? Yeah, probably, Yeah, probably when I was a
kid or a teenager, So yeah, he can't. So you
can't say, oh, she wasn't hurt because she wasn't crying.
But in the in the research, like she got hit
with a baton. It didn't break her leg, but it

(01:00:32):
bruised her thigh. What they do just rub it against her. Well,
let me tell you how many times a bruised thigh
has stopped me from doing anything at all? True? Now,
she is obviously Olympic skater performing an elite athletic level.
So who's to say that them fucking gorgeous ass thighs

(01:00:54):
being bruised couldn't cause her some problems and at least
looked bad. It look like shit. Yeah, nobody wants to
have a big old bruise fucking hamhowk nothing, you can't nothing,
you can't cover up with some pantiosue some Yeah, so
stant the hitman testified that Tanya Harding Stage nineteen ninety

(01:01:15):
three death threat against herself to gain sympathy. If that's true,
that kind of suggests a pattern of deception there. Some
actually recall the weapon as an ice pick or a
crow bar, not a baton. I don't think the baton
was ever recovered, but there is a bit of a
discrepancy there. Well, Nancy Gerrigan's pain was real. Some speculate

(01:01:37):
that the injuries severity was overstated as she competed weeks later,
So maybe the media's portrayal of it being a devastating attack,
maybe it was probably exaggerated for drama. Yeah, definitely. And
what I'm gonna play next is the conclusion of her
skate at the nineteen ninety four Olympics, and man, that crowd,

(01:02:02):
they were on fire for her that night. And you
seldom hear reactions like this in the figure skin what

(01:02:27):
a pop right, very well up. Green dildos. Yeah, I
look at them, green dollos flying on the ice, octopusses
and ship. She's very toothy, very toothy. Her husband said
the same thing about her that I would like to
marry you, but you're very toothy, very very teethy. That's

(01:02:48):
a compliment for some women. That's yeah. That used to
be a symbol of status in colonial days. Horse teeth.
Have you ever seen Mickey Mouse with the shorts off?
Did you get a Harry Dick? Got a Harry Wiener?

(01:03:11):
And we've all been there before. I wish Disney had
like a hot line where you could call and ask questions.
You know, I've I've told this story many years ago podcast,
but it's really important to remind you guys of it.
You know, me and Roy we went to sea World. Yeah,
whenever we were in the fifth grade and SeaWorld had

(01:03:34):
a fucking hot line. You could call twenty four to
seven and ask questions about SeaWorld. That's so weird, yeah,
and they would answer. We would like, we'd like Jilley,
we can stamp Zelley, we can stamp, and we stay
up till two forty five, four thirty. And we called
him like, I make sham news, Dick, I even hang

(01:03:57):
up us on.

Speaker 2 (01:03:58):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:03:58):
But they would always like, and this is probably some
poor motherfucker that had like an on call phone getting
woken up by us in the mill of those things
were calling zero, This is Daniel, this is Tammy. What's
your question? Really? How much do you have to feed

(01:04:20):
the whale? Who wipes the whales? But we just asked
stupid fucking questions and they would answer the ship for
the best they could. But they would always answer, I
think there's a penguin in trouble, send help, uh, And

(01:04:44):
we just call and we'd ask just ask the dumbest
fucking questions. Yea, the seals are the whiskers, reel and
the seals. Then we would ask questions like that all
the animals and sewol are. In fact, none of them
are animatronics like Disney World. They're real animals. Shit. Ok,

(01:05:10):
that was back when the Sea World was in Cleveland. Man,
oh yeah, yeah, SeaWorld. They used to have a Sea
World in Ohio, right in the coldest part of Ohio right,
makes no fucking sense. You can have it open for
about three months a year and then you haven't shut
that bitch down. They're like, oh, we can't figure out
why we can't make any money. Well, you can only

(01:05:30):
go to that motherfucker four days out of the year.
So stupid. It was dumb idea, that idea, And to
keep the killer whale locked. I think that what's that
documentary is a black fish? Yeah? Yeah, that's crazy, heart
wrenching documentary. See what they do to them seals, or
see what they do those whales, and the think about

(01:05:53):
the stupid fuckers to swim with those things. It ain't
no fucking way, man, those things are so big and strong. People.
This week, I think you're okay to get in there.
What's the chance of it happening for a fifth time
to you a little confuse him? If you just launch
a giant green dildo across the really throws them into
a tizzy, makes him happy. Oh that's our episode covering

(01:06:15):
the Nancy care Again and Tanya Harding scandal. I hope
you learn something today. Mostly, I hope you learn that
Tanya Harding has a really great sex tape. If anything,
that's the lesson you can learn. That's it. Yeah, do
with that what you want. Just if you do, go
to motherless dot com, be careful clicking around. There's some
wild shit on there. That's a weird one. Man, it
is a weird one. It's dark. I think I saw

(01:06:37):
like two old like two naked old men like bottle
feeding each other at one point. Yeah, And I was like,
there's no way I'm clicking on that. And then when
I said that, like, there's no way I'm clicking on that,
it fucking opened. The video started and I said, oh man,
they're jacking off and bottles with each other. There's a
lot of stuff on there that looks like it should

(01:06:58):
be illegal. I didn't like complete truth be told. I
didn't click around, but just at face value, I didn't
see anything that I was like, Oh God, I gotta
fucking get a attorney. There's nothing I saw like that. Yeah,
it's if you want to see some crazy shit, that's yeah,

(01:07:18):
that's the that's the neck of the woods. And when
after I went to that website, that's when I got
off my dad's cell phone plan because I didn't want
him to know about it. That makes sense, Okay, go
buy tickets to our live show in Dallas, Texas. It's
gonna be a great time. That's gonna be here before
you know it. We're only about a month and a

(01:07:38):
half away. It's getting close. Man. Vacations, vacation, vacation. Love it.
I'm gonna give me some tics mix. I can't wait.
I'll take your restaurant recommendations. If you guys are interested
in passing those along, that would be awesome please. But
in the meantime, everyone have a great week. One more thing.

(01:08:00):
I saw a dead guy the other day. Yeah, yeah,
it was the craziest thing. I was driving home from
Real King and I passed a metro park and I
saw a guy laying flat on his back with his
arms like, oh, I don't over and there's a Metro
park guy standing next to him, and I said, I
said to myself, oh, he's probably just drunk or fell

(01:08:23):
down or having a medical event. But there was one
park ranger with him. I got on Facebook. I saw
a mutual friend of ours say something about seeing a
dead guy in a park. But naturally I had to
go back. And I went back and the guy had
sadly taken his own life. And it just really put

(01:08:45):
It really got me thinking, like, there's no way that
that is what you're that's what's planned for you. And
I want to say that on the show that everybody listening,
whatever you're going through, your your your plan, does not

(01:09:06):
your story doesn't end with you alone taking your own life.
That doesn't. That's not how it ends for anybody listening.
No matter how bad you're feeling about yourself, no matter
how down you are, you you may feel like your
story sucks. You may feel like that the that your

(01:09:29):
story is done. But what you don't realize is you
are a huge part of somebody else's story. And you
may not have even met the person yet whose story
you belong to. But I know that your story doesn't
end with you being sad and alone and at the
end of like I don't want to say, at the

(01:09:50):
end of your rope, but that's not how, that's not
what the what the plan is for you. And I
know that, and no matter who you are and what
you're going through, I can attest that it does get better.
And if in the USA you can just dial nine
to eight eight and you can reach the you can

(01:10:11):
reach out to the suicide hotline. But I know for
without a shadow of a doubt that that that's not
how It's not how it should end for anybody. It sucks.
We're all going through shit. I can speak with pure
transparency that the past couple the past month for me

(01:10:33):
has been one of the most stressful months that I
can remember going through as an adult. And there were
times like I was like, I don't know if I'm
going to make it through this. Not to say that
I was thinking about, you know, harming myself or anything
like that, but there are times that I said to myself,

(01:10:54):
this fucking sucks. I don't know if I can get
through it. Yesterday was like yesterday was the day that
was a date that I was not looking forward to
we'll say that, and I was like, I don't know
if I'm gonna make it to August twenty fifth. I
think my fucking heart's gonna explode, my brain's gonna melt

(01:11:15):
out of my skull before then. I'm happy to tell
you that today is August twenty sixth. I'm still here,
I'm still nicolicious, I'm still I'm okay, and the people
that I love are okay. And I know that it
may feel like sometimes you're not gonna make it to

(01:11:39):
the next day, but you can't make it to the
next day. We want you to make it to the
next day. We love you. You're a part of our story.
We're a part of your story. And you may feel
like you may feel like you don't have anybody, but
I know that's not true, because if you have a
cool enough personality to listen to this show, you have

(01:12:00):
a cool enough personality to find that there are people
out there that want to be your friend. Of course,
we have a loving community on Facebook. It's called the
Brohio Podcast, but Chugger is anonymous. There's plenty of fucking
losers on there. If you go on there and you say, hey,
I'm a loser. I have nobody. I want friends. There
are people on there, they're way bigger losers than you
that will be your friend and will be your friend. Yeah,

(01:12:21):
I've got lots of friends. I don't have any more
room for friends, but I'll make room for you. But
that's what I'm saying is like you're cool enough and
fun enough to listen to the show. There's other people
out there that just like you. We have a community,
and like it doesn't end for you sad alone taking

(01:12:44):
your own life, and there's people out there that want
to make things better for you, including me. You can
email us. I'll talk to you. I mean, I get
right back to you. But we're here for you. Yeah,
we love you absolutely. And if it gets to the
point that you needed nine eight eight in the United

(01:13:04):
States and can call the crisis Lifeline there and they
can they can get you where you need to be.
They can get you the help. That's very heartfelt. Yep,
you should fart again. I can't. I'm all out of farts.
You got to go back down a little bit of normalcy. Yeah.
I want to go out here and kill my cat
because she hasn't used the litter box in about a month.
Poor baby. Everyone's like she's got dementia. I'm like, I

(01:13:27):
don't fucking care. She keeps pooping on my floor. Okay,
what type of food we buy her?

Speaker 2 (01:13:32):
She?

Speaker 1 (01:13:33):
I had a halt Cogan hat, a really expensive hault
coging hat I got in Florida. Is she wearing it?
Am I tidy whities? How the wiest pictured her with
like fucking like a bald cap with the yellow hair.
It fell behind the couch. Yeah. And I come in
the other night. There's a bunch of teenage girls here.
I'm like, get fucking stinks in here, right, I'm telling

(01:13:56):
them they wash their asses and they're fucking shit. I'm like,
you all need to go watch your groundles. And I
sat down the couch. I'm like, man, what the fuck
is that? I look behind the couch and my hawk
Cogan hat. It fell behind the couch and the cat
had just been pooping in it relentlessly for who knows
how long. Those halkster hat was full of shit. That's

(01:14:21):
fucking awful. So I just threw it away. Fucking sixty
dollars hat I got in Florida at his beach chop.
Oh man, Oh that sucks. I'm like, a, there's no
way I'm getting all ship out of this thing. I
threw it away. Poop. There was entirely too much shit
inside this hat. It's like she used the fucking hats
a toilet. That's personal, you know, discouraging that is for me, Sorry, hulkster.

(01:14:46):
She's like, I know my master's a real American, but
I'm gonna fill this hat full of cat shit. So
my wife's like, we just like, we don't have to
put her down, do we. I'm like, if she keeps
on fucking shitting pistol on everything, I don't know what
I'm gonna do with her. Put her in a goddamn

(01:15:06):
rocket ship and send her to Mars. I don't pray
she gets there. Russia can use her in a spaceship experiment.
No arthritis, no ut, I s no not. I took
her to the vet. The Vet's like, how many litter
boxes do you have? I'm like four. He's like, you
need to put down more? What what do you mean

(01:15:28):
I need to put down more? I just turned the
whole fucking house into a litter box. She's done, bastard,
just dump litter all over the floor. What the fuck
like everywhere she would be, there's a place for her
to shit. He'll get better for it. Usually, what I
do when she gets like that to lock her up
in the bathroom for a couple of days. You have
her no choice to put the shit in her box. Yeah,
and then give the old factory reset if she doesn't

(01:15:49):
start shitting in her box. I'm literally I'm gonna shit
inside of her box.

Speaker 2 (01:15:53):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:15:53):
Take that what you will.
