00:00:03.839 --> 00:00:05.360
Welcome to everyday live.
00:00:05.839 --> 00:00:07.200
Thank you for joining our podcast.
00:00:07.599 --> 00:00:09.279
Conversation over the case.
00:00:09.439 --> 00:00:15.679
My name is right after that.
00:00:18.480 --> 00:00:22.399
Adult situations and adult languages from time to time.
00:00:22.960 --> 00:00:23.519
I'm an angel.
00:00:23.839 --> 00:00:24.719
I never fucking test.
00:00:25.679 --> 00:00:25.839
Okay.
00:00:26.640 --> 00:00:28.559
Anyway, you ready to go?
00:00:28.960 --> 00:00:29.280
Oh yeah.
00:00:29.679 --> 00:00:30.879
All right, let's go.
00:00:41.359 --> 00:00:43.280
I'm just saying, I miss those days.
00:00:44.000 --> 00:00:49.600
You know, and it's so funny because he never waved me.
00:00:49.920 --> 00:00:50.880
He got knocked out.
00:00:51.039 --> 00:00:52.079
That's how I flu.
00:00:52.399 --> 00:00:53.759
But who was he singing about?
00:00:54.000 --> 00:00:55.200
The gingerbread man.
00:00:55.439 --> 00:00:55.920
That's right.
00:00:56.079 --> 00:00:58.960
The gingerbread boy, his pretend bread boy.
00:00:59.280 --> 00:01:01.359
He never waved me, so he got knocked out.
00:01:01.520 --> 00:01:04.640
I have tried going back to BLR.
00:01:05.519 --> 00:01:10.159
And you know, it there's just something about the time and place, it's just not for me anymore.
00:01:10.560 --> 00:01:18.400
But I can go back and I can watch the Hunger Games ones, I can watch the Game of Thrones ones, and I can watch Carl Papa and feel very satisfied.
00:01:18.640 --> 00:01:21.280
And what about the Star Wars once?
00:01:21.599 --> 00:01:23.920
I didn't never I never saw the Star Wars ones.
00:01:24.719 --> 00:01:34.239
Yeah, I I was too, I just love that Hunger Games one where it's from the first, it's from the Hunger Games, obviously not catching fire or mocking Jay.
00:01:34.319 --> 00:01:36.719
And she's like she's like Goat Girl.
00:01:37.120 --> 00:01:37.359
Yeah.
00:01:39.840 --> 00:01:40.799
So good.
00:01:41.200 --> 00:01:44.560
And of course, uh, you know, the Game of Thrones ones where you've got Jeffrey.
00:01:48.799 --> 00:01:49.680
It's so great.
00:01:49.920 --> 00:01:55.439
I've watched that Joffrey Jeff death scene so many times and been so happy every time.
00:01:55.760 --> 00:02:00.000
You mean from the bad lip rating or the both actual both?
00:02:01.200 --> 00:02:06.879
That the scene where he dies is one of my all-time favorite things that's ever happened in the world.
00:02:07.200 --> 00:02:07.519
I know.
00:02:07.599 --> 00:02:10.319
You know, and people don't it's uh no, it's not.
00:02:10.560 --> 00:02:17.360
It is exactly what we all secretly would secretly would wish to happen to all abusers and murderers.
00:02:17.520 --> 00:02:18.400
It's what we secretly wish.
00:02:18.719 --> 00:02:19.919
Douchebages in general.
00:02:20.080 --> 00:02:21.680
Yes, that they have a yeah.
00:02:21.759 --> 00:02:25.520
I mean, sometimes I wish we were in 1700 because we could have pol deaths again.
00:02:26.080 --> 00:02:27.039
Public executions.
00:02:27.439 --> 00:02:28.800
Yeah, we could start that again.
00:02:29.199 --> 00:02:30.479
We I think we should.
00:02:30.879 --> 00:02:32.879
Especially if they happen to be politicians.
00:02:33.199 --> 00:02:38.240
You know, speaking of politicians, uh a politician just like from out of nowhere just died.
00:02:38.400 --> 00:02:38.879
Oh yeah.
00:02:39.039 --> 00:02:39.520
Yeah.
00:02:39.840 --> 00:02:43.759
And now you've got the president going, well, his sister should find us the term for him.
00:02:44.000 --> 00:02:46.159
What the fuck kind of retarded shit is that?
00:02:46.879 --> 00:02:48.319
I did not say that.
00:02:50.159 --> 00:02:59.120
I read that, but I was just like, I read that headline, I was just like, I'm just not gonna get into it because maybe she's in politics too.
00:02:59.199 --> 00:03:11.759
I mean maybe uh but it doesn't matter to me if she was in politics or she is in politics, because isn't there um a lieutenant governor just like our state that steps in when you die?
00:03:12.000 --> 00:03:16.800
Isn't there a backup rep that steps in when your rep dies for your riot?
00:03:17.039 --> 00:03:24.479
Yeah, there should be basically a I don't know actually if Congress because you know the president, the vice president.
00:03:25.039 --> 00:03:28.000
Listen, we already have too many freaking people in politics as it is.
00:03:28.240 --> 00:03:35.280
Yeah, there's the equivalent for the states, but I don't know about representatives or congressmen or whatever.
00:03:35.680 --> 00:03:36.240
I don't know.
00:03:36.479 --> 00:03:37.759
I'm just like, holy crap.
00:03:38.080 --> 00:03:43.759
I can always have like an emergency election to replace them if there isn't somebody that's backup, basically.
00:03:44.319 --> 00:03:46.319
I'm just the deaths are weird.
00:03:46.400 --> 00:03:53.039
So you got that guy, 71, like, and I hate I hate to say that, but like quickly died, unexpectedly died.
00:03:53.199 --> 00:03:55.919
Same happened with the actor Sam Neil, unexpectedly died.
00:03:56.479 --> 00:04:10.240
And then you got like the actor James Handy, who was stabbed by his girlfriend, not his fiance, not his future daughter-in-law, his girlfriend's kid, okay, stabbed him, stabbed him once in the chest, kills the guy.
00:04:10.400 --> 00:04:17.120
Okay, and then you got Mitch McConnell, who's been in politics longer than there's been dirt on earth, going, I just took a fall, I'm okay.
00:04:17.519 --> 00:04:18.000
Yeah.
00:04:19.439 --> 00:04:23.199
It's like the internet on his money, he just takes a link and he keeps on thinking.
00:04:23.360 --> 00:04:24.480
Which there's nothing wrong with that.
00:04:24.639 --> 00:04:26.480
He's like every politician out there.
00:04:26.639 --> 00:04:30.160
Some of it's good, some of it's bad, and some of it is what the fuck were you thinking?
00:04:30.319 --> 00:04:30.560
Yeah.
00:04:30.800 --> 00:04:33.040
But, anyways, uh I don't know.
00:04:33.279 --> 00:04:34.879
I hate politics for reason.
00:04:34.959 --> 00:04:36.079
I think you like them.
00:04:36.399 --> 00:04:45.120
Sometimes you get really close on when you're talking about Asm and Gold, and I'm like, oh, because politics turn my bowels to jelly.
00:04:45.360 --> 00:04:47.439
I hate politics.
00:04:47.759 --> 00:04:50.879
Because it doesn't afraid of proofing yourself.
00:04:51.600 --> 00:04:56.800
Well, I mean, I'm here to tell you, I've done it many times, and there's no problem.
00:05:01.120 --> 00:05:06.319
Like running in the back front house, locking like you've been riding a horse all day, and your partner going, What the fuck's wrong with you?
00:05:06.480 --> 00:05:14.800
And it's absolutely um I don't like politics, not because it, you know, it used the whole idea was that it used to be that somebody would win and that everybody would win.
00:05:14.959 --> 00:05:16.720
Not somebody, but everybody would win.
00:05:16.879 --> 00:05:23.199
We have these politicians, they were there to make it a better life for everybody, and everybody would win.
00:05:23.839 --> 00:05:34.079
And quite literally, all I've seen in politics in the last probably uh 10 years probably is everybody wanting somebody to lose.
00:05:34.319 --> 00:05:35.759
This is about me winning.
00:05:35.920 --> 00:05:38.240
I'm right, you're wrong, lose, lose, lose.
00:05:38.319 --> 00:05:48.560
And it's just like, oh I have yet to see any single politician in the last 10 years make a decision that's worked for really well for everybody.
00:05:49.360 --> 00:05:51.759
But you know, I hate politics.
00:05:52.240 --> 00:05:55.439
And I'm sure there's gonna be somebody out there going, well, what about this?
00:05:55.519 --> 00:05:56.319
But what about that?
00:05:56.480 --> 00:05:57.600
Look, I'm not ready.
00:05:57.759 --> 00:06:01.680
And you can't you can't even look at my voting record and say I'm a Democrat or a Republican.
00:06:01.839 --> 00:06:05.439
Yeah, you really can't because I've voted both ways.
00:06:05.600 --> 00:06:06.959
Ah yeah.
00:06:07.360 --> 00:06:15.360
Just it to me, uh just just the fact that they're trying to make it to where you can't vote for the best candidate, you have to vote within an elected party.
00:06:15.519 --> 00:06:19.839
No, you have to declare oh yeah, nope, ain't voted a day since.
00:06:20.319 --> 00:06:25.439
I still fucking I have a uh formula for how I vote.
00:06:25.600 --> 00:06:33.360
And it's basically if I recognize the name of one of the people that is on the ballot, I vote for the other person.
00:06:33.600 --> 00:06:47.680
Unless I can immediately come up with a good reason to vote for that person, which I usually can't, um, I automatically vote for the other guy because I mean it at at worst it's a lateral move.
00:06:49.920 --> 00:06:53.360
Like, if you can't instantly think of why you should vote for them, you shouldn't.
00:06:53.519 --> 00:06:53.680
Yeah.
00:06:53.920 --> 00:06:59.120
And that's and especially if you recognize the name because that means you've heard or seen or read something somewhere.
00:06:59.360 --> 00:06:59.519
Yep.
00:06:59.600 --> 00:07:04.399
And I'm like, yeah, no, that person's probably a douchebag because I know their name.
00:07:04.720 --> 00:07:05.279
Next.
00:07:05.519 --> 00:07:06.000
Right.
00:07:07.839 --> 00:07:10.079
I know their name, I don't know why.
00:07:10.319 --> 00:07:14.480
Um I uh this person's probably an asshole, so don't forget.
00:07:14.879 --> 00:07:18.079
Yeah, it's it's it's we do not talk politics.
00:07:18.240 --> 00:07:25.120
My partner and I do not talk politics because you know, he's ever every human is opinion.
00:07:25.279 --> 00:07:27.600
Everybody's like assholes, everybody's got one, right?
00:07:27.759 --> 00:07:28.079
Yep.
00:07:28.319 --> 00:07:32.560
But he's like actually some people have two or three.
00:07:34.079 --> 00:07:35.839
Actually, some people don't have any.
00:07:36.079 --> 00:07:39.759
I hope they don't vote because they don't have an opinion if they got an asshole.
00:07:40.000 --> 00:07:44.000
You have to be an asshole, you have to have an asshole to vote, be or to be an asshole.
00:07:44.079 --> 00:07:45.439
No, you gotta have an opinion to vote.
00:07:45.519 --> 00:07:45.920
I don't know.
00:07:46.000 --> 00:08:02.160
Anyways, but I love my partner, I really do, but um, sometimes the way he uh approaches things is like, uh, I don't set out in this world, I don't set out to be Miss Super PC.
00:08:02.800 --> 00:08:08.800
Obviously, anybody who's ever met me in real life knows that because I have an opinion and I'll fucking tell you if you really want to hear it.
00:08:09.120 --> 00:08:19.600
But he sometimes he gets a hold of news articles, political ones, and he'll say, Did you hear this?
00:08:20.000 --> 00:08:22.000
And then he'll say things.
00:08:22.240 --> 00:08:24.800
And this is the funny thing with the way our world works.
00:08:24.959 --> 00:08:35.039
People will see a snippet of something and they'll make an accusation, then they'll make a video on YouTube about it, and they'll be like, Oh my god, Becky, look at these politics, they are just so sick and mean, right?
00:08:35.679 --> 00:08:48.720
By time you get to eight o'clock at night or nine o'clock or nine thirty when I get home, and it's just like they already announced that was a hoax, and then it's the anger because it's just caught with him the first thing he saw.
00:08:48.879 --> 00:08:51.360
I'm like, that's why I don't jump on shit right away.
00:08:51.440 --> 00:09:08.879
Yeah, like I am not going to say the person's name because I am not gonna give them any more fuel, I'm not gonna give them any more value, but there is an influencer out there who swears a Charlie Kirk killing was a hoax.
00:09:09.519 --> 00:09:11.120
And I'm like, what?
00:09:11.440 --> 00:09:17.519
It's like I I don't, I just I don't get how people can lose their humanity so easy.
00:09:17.679 --> 00:09:20.080
And it's not, it's it's not that it was a hoax.
00:09:20.240 --> 00:09:21.360
Yeah, he really died.
00:09:21.519 --> 00:09:24.720
It's the person who killed him, it's a conspiracy theory.
00:09:24.879 --> 00:09:25.759
That was a hoax.
00:09:25.840 --> 00:09:38.559
He didn't really do it, and it's just like, um, okay, so the person they have laying down and that jumped off the roof of the building and running away is all the same person, and it's his face, but it was faked.
00:09:38.879 --> 00:09:48.639
Like, come on, like you know, but people lose their humanity so easily over politics, they don't have the ability to do like what you and I do, where it's just like, stop.
00:09:48.879 --> 00:09:51.679
I don't care if he was a Republican, left wing, right wing, stop.
00:09:52.000 --> 00:09:55.200
This is not somebody who went out and murdered and raped women and children.
00:09:55.440 --> 00:09:59.200
This is not somebody who went out of their way to physically abuse somebody.
00:09:59.279 --> 00:10:03.039
This is just a guy who had an opinion and he lived his life within that style.
00:10:03.840 --> 00:10:10.080
So it is very sad that this, this, you know, a son, a father, a brother is gone.
00:10:10.320 --> 00:10:14.080
All because he's like, this is my opinion and this is how I live my life.
00:10:14.320 --> 00:10:15.919
You're welcome to follow me if you want.
00:10:16.080 --> 00:10:18.159
Yeah, it was not racist, it wasn't any.
00:10:18.480 --> 00:10:23.840
I mean, I guess you would call it sexist at times, maybe if he doesn't want to deal with transgender people in his life.
00:10:24.080 --> 00:10:29.600
Uh I mean, I I that's a weird way to ask that, but yeah, you'd almost wonder if it's sexist.
00:10:29.679 --> 00:10:30.399
So I I don't know.
00:10:30.559 --> 00:10:33.360
Anyways, uh, yeah, I hate politics.
00:10:33.519 --> 00:10:35.600
I hate politics so badly.
00:10:35.840 --> 00:10:40.960
I'm like, let's put on a musical, let's let's watch the greatest filmman again.
00:10:41.279 --> 00:10:41.840
Uh no.
00:10:42.320 --> 00:10:47.360
I would rather watch Hello Dolly than watch another fucking presidential debate.
00:10:48.240 --> 00:10:52.240
Honestly, I just I don't I don't have it in me anymore.
00:10:52.399 --> 00:10:52.799
Yeah.
00:10:53.120 --> 00:11:05.200
Because the the people who are controlling, look, we have two very distinct uh generations of people right now who seem to be controlling everything, and I don't agree with either one of them.
00:11:06.080 --> 00:11:09.519
And um that's because neither old thing is genetic.
00:11:09.759 --> 00:11:10.960
That is correct.
00:11:11.759 --> 00:11:23.120
No, it's it's it's honestly because it's uh I feel like you both generations are going everything they're doing is to target their generation, to help their generation.
00:11:23.360 --> 00:11:32.720
And so you have like I literally heard a uh person, uh, I believe you're a millennial if you're like 35, right?
00:11:33.120 --> 00:11:33.600
Yeah.
00:11:33.840 --> 00:11:34.159
Okay.
00:11:34.559 --> 00:11:49.759
So there was there was a doctor age like 35, like around 35, 36, or whatever, and they were talking about how damaged uh Gen Z is, like they're gonna end up being the throwaway generation because they're scared of everything, you know.
00:11:49.919 --> 00:11:52.559
And and I was just like, what?
00:11:53.279 --> 00:12:02.720
Because they go into the pandemic when they're young children, they go through they went through purity by themselves for the two and a half years that the pandemic hit, and it's just like, and they're scared of everything because they were locked in.
00:12:02.879 --> 00:12:13.919
I'm like, uh, I don't know what world you live in, but most of the kids I saw during the pandemic was running around the streets, and they weren't locked in the house with their mom holding masks their face.
00:12:14.159 --> 00:12:14.639
Uh-uh.
00:12:14.960 --> 00:12:18.000
Well, at least not in our neighborhood, anyways.
00:12:18.480 --> 00:12:19.600
How are you doing?
00:12:19.840 --> 00:12:20.879
How have you been doing?
00:12:21.039 --> 00:12:21.679
I'm doing all right.
00:12:21.759 --> 00:12:22.559
How are you doing?
00:12:22.799 --> 00:12:23.840
Uh I'm doing good.
00:12:23.919 --> 00:12:25.519
My mental health is getting a little better.
00:12:25.679 --> 00:12:26.399
How about you?
00:12:26.559 --> 00:12:27.840
How's your mental health doing?
00:12:28.080 --> 00:12:28.960
As usual.
00:12:29.120 --> 00:12:29.679
It's fine.
00:12:29.840 --> 00:12:31.519
You only want to choke a bitch every other day?
00:12:31.679 --> 00:12:32.000
Yeah.
00:12:32.240 --> 00:12:33.919
Hey, that's better than every day.
00:12:34.080 --> 00:12:34.320
Yeah.
00:12:34.480 --> 00:12:36.240
You're like, I'm not at work every day.
00:12:37.919 --> 00:12:42.320
Uh let me tell you what, you've got a coworker who's got a two co-workers, three coworkers.
00:12:42.639 --> 00:12:45.039
You have some co-workers that got some bad tempers.
00:12:45.279 --> 00:12:46.080
Like really bad.
00:12:46.399 --> 00:12:51.120
Yeah, one of them I was surprised when he went off for the first time.
00:12:51.360 --> 00:12:54.559
Because usually well, he's kind of Irish.
00:12:54.960 --> 00:12:59.759
So laughing and joking one minute, ready to kill somebody the next.
00:12:59.919 --> 00:13:01.840
Uh oh yeah, trust me.
00:13:04.799 --> 00:13:06.879
I was actually in your building the first time.
00:13:07.039 --> 00:13:09.519
I heard that individual get really upset.
00:13:09.679 --> 00:13:10.080
Yeah.
00:13:10.320 --> 00:13:14.240
And uh I actually thought we were gonna have to call 911.
00:13:15.120 --> 00:13:18.879
It was, you know, and I felt bad to have rage like that.
00:13:19.200 --> 00:13:21.200
Because it's it's not anger, it's rage.
00:13:21.440 --> 00:13:21.759
Yeah.
00:13:21.919 --> 00:13:26.720
And it's uh it's a very uh yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:13:26.879 --> 00:13:30.080
Anyways, some conversation with that dude's been through some shit.
00:13:30.159 --> 00:13:32.720
So yeah, I would I totally get.
00:13:32.960 --> 00:13:33.519
Yeah.
00:13:33.679 --> 00:13:34.000
Yeah.
00:13:34.159 --> 00:13:35.519
You should, you know what you should do?
00:13:35.600 --> 00:13:37.919
You should um you should uh send them a link.
00:13:38.000 --> 00:13:41.919
You should write down the link for Diagnosis Hypnotic Gifts and tell them to think about this.
00:13:42.159 --> 00:13:49.200
Because I feel like if you hadn't had if you haven't learned that at a young age, you very well could have explosive rage like that.
00:13:49.519 --> 00:13:52.480
Yeah, I'd probably be dead in a ditch somewhere or in prison.
00:13:52.720 --> 00:13:54.320
I mean, prison, yeah.
00:13:54.399 --> 00:13:55.279
Uh prison.
00:13:55.360 --> 00:13:55.600
Yeah.
00:13:55.759 --> 00:13:57.919
You're like, prison be my bitch.
00:13:58.879 --> 00:14:00.960
But um he's a nice individual.
00:14:01.120 --> 00:14:02.399
I really enjoy speaking to him.
00:14:02.559 --> 00:14:18.240
I do not enjoy it when he is when I've been near him and he's a bit angry, but I happened to be in the building training uh when he I heard this very uh loud noise, and I thought, I mean, it was so thunder, the noise was so thunderous.
00:14:18.399 --> 00:14:26.960
Uh, one of the two training managers that were in the building came out front, eyes the size of silver dollars, and it's like, what's going on?
00:14:27.120 --> 00:14:29.039
They're like, I'm not going back in there.
00:14:29.120 --> 00:14:32.720
I'm terrified right now because of his actions.
00:14:33.440 --> 00:14:39.200
And it was just like, wow, because I don't, I don't, I don't go for that shit.
00:14:40.159 --> 00:14:45.759
And there, there's a time to be gentler, and then there's a time to not.
00:14:46.399 --> 00:14:49.519
And I can understand being upset and being frustrated.
00:14:49.600 --> 00:14:59.679
Um, and I can understand even having explosive rage, but to the point where you make a grown woman woman, when you make grown women start shaking, I wasn't shaking.
00:14:59.759 --> 00:15:02.320
I happened to be probably 40 feet away.
00:15:02.480 --> 00:15:09.039
I, you know, the uh your break room, she was in your break room and he was at the lockers.
00:15:09.440 --> 00:15:09.759
Okay.
00:15:10.159 --> 00:15:13.440
I didn't hear the yelling word part of it.
00:15:13.600 --> 00:15:17.679
I heard something very muffled, but so I was 40 feet away.
00:15:17.759 --> 00:15:25.440
But there was somebody who was between where I was, which is like your toy section, the end of your toy section to the break room.
00:15:25.519 --> 00:15:26.399
That's about 40 feet.
00:15:26.559 --> 00:15:26.799
Yeah.
00:15:27.120 --> 00:15:31.279
There was somebody there actually looking at artwork as well, and she was terrified, she was shaking.
00:15:31.519 --> 00:15:32.480
She didn't know what was going on.
00:15:32.559 --> 00:15:35.759
It was like well, there's also no wall between those two.
00:15:36.559 --> 00:15:42.240
There's a doorway, but yeah you were at, there were basically three walls in between you and what was happening.
00:15:42.720 --> 00:15:46.320
Yeah, so yeah, but um, but he that might be a good idea.
00:15:46.639 --> 00:15:48.240
Send him over to Hypnotic Gifts.
00:15:48.399 --> 00:15:53.360
Uh it it might be something that he could find interest in because he really is a genuinely nice person.
00:15:53.600 --> 00:15:54.159
Yeah, he's cool.
00:15:54.240 --> 00:15:54.799
I like him.
00:15:55.120 --> 00:15:58.879
I do too, but the other two, you know, I could take or leave them.
00:15:59.679 --> 00:16:11.440
And well, one of the two, obviously, one of the two was uh uh remind me of the people we have trouble with at my shop, at my building.
00:16:11.759 --> 00:16:24.639
And uh so one of them was out that the two biggest troublemakers, one of them was out because they had an allergic reaction to something, which uh bullshit, but that's not neither here nor there.
00:16:24.879 --> 00:16:34.159
Um, and then the other one the other day, let up the world just fuck this, fuck that, walking through the warehouse on a phone, which is very dangerous to do.
00:16:34.399 --> 00:16:43.200
They were operating machinery on a phone, and um, I saw it secondary as they were stopping, so I didn't know the extent of it.
00:16:43.759 --> 00:16:47.279
And uh yeah, it was it was scary.
00:16:47.679 --> 00:16:54.159
So, and me, you know me, like I'm gonna try to defend people when they're not doing something wrong.
00:16:55.120 --> 00:17:00.399
And I made the mistake of defending a co-manager to the individual, and you know what?
00:17:00.480 --> 00:17:05.119
The individual wasn't mad at me, the co-manager was because the co-manager's like, let that motherfucker walk out of here.
00:17:05.200 --> 00:17:11.759
And I'm like, Oh, I looked at this co-manager and I said, I will never defend you another day in my life, ever.
00:17:12.240 --> 00:17:15.359
I will never I could take care of myself.
00:17:15.440 --> 00:17:17.359
I always well.
00:17:17.920 --> 00:17:26.640
I'm just like, you know my personality, it's not like me to sit there and just let somebody be abusive language to somebody else without saying something.
00:17:26.799 --> 00:17:28.720
So, anyways, I don't know.
00:17:29.119 --> 00:17:31.920
I hate politics, I hate politics.
00:17:32.480 --> 00:17:37.119
I hate politics, and I hate the fact that uh everything seems to be in limbo right now.
00:17:37.279 --> 00:17:42.079
It like literally, we've got elections coming up, nobody gives a shit.
00:17:42.319 --> 00:17:52.559
You've got a president who's not paying his lawsuit bills, so now judges are throwing out accusations on that, and it's just like it's like this is why I don't like politics.
00:17:52.799 --> 00:18:01.039
Just because you're a president or a vice president or a member of the cabinet does not excuse you from taking care of your payments due.
00:18:01.359 --> 00:18:03.119
Yeah, irresponsibilities.
00:18:03.440 --> 00:18:04.319
You have to.
00:18:04.480 --> 00:18:08.960
You are supposed to, like, literally, what like what are you doing?
00:18:09.119 --> 00:18:11.359
You you can sit there and say, I'm fighting a good fight.
00:18:11.440 --> 00:18:12.000
This didn't happen.
00:18:12.079 --> 00:18:13.200
The evidence showed you did.
00:18:13.279 --> 00:18:17.039
Your own actions, your own words showed that you did what you're being sued for.
00:18:18.160 --> 00:18:19.279
Fine, whatever.
00:18:19.519 --> 00:18:27.359
So set the right tone for your people and say, be honest and say, Yes, I've made a mistake, I didn't feel it was this way.
00:18:27.440 --> 00:18:30.000
I'm you know, I apologize it felt that way.
00:18:30.160 --> 00:18:39.440
I will take care of the damages and pay it because this is the same person who is getting online and going out there and speaking the truth about everybody needs to pay their dues.
00:18:39.680 --> 00:18:42.880
Hey, how you doing, kettle pot black much?
00:18:43.359 --> 00:18:43.759
Exactly.
00:18:43.920 --> 00:18:45.839
Anyways, so how's your health going?
00:18:46.000 --> 00:18:48.000
Because you know, they've all been on this journey with us.
00:18:48.079 --> 00:18:50.720
You uh your diabetes under control.
00:18:50.960 --> 00:18:52.160
Yeah, doing pretty good.
00:18:52.240 --> 00:18:54.079
We just gotta get you in for some eyes, right?
00:18:54.319 --> 00:18:55.920
Yeah, or some new eyes.
00:18:56.160 --> 00:18:57.359
I'm dude.
00:18:57.599 --> 00:18:59.680
I'm right there with yeah.
00:19:00.400 --> 00:19:02.960
Yeah, I need to get an eye exam.
00:19:03.039 --> 00:19:04.240
It's been a couple years now.
00:19:04.480 --> 00:19:06.559
Yeah, well, the military will pay for it, right?
00:19:06.880 --> 00:19:08.160
Uh yes.
00:19:08.720 --> 00:19:11.920
I'm like, I'm like, if not, we'll start a GoFundMe.
00:19:12.559 --> 00:19:20.480
But I actually have noticed when I have seen you, not when we're always podcasting, but other times, I've actually noticed you squinting more.
00:19:20.960 --> 00:19:29.440
And I don't know if that's because you're trying to nail narrow your field of vision or because you think that's gonna help you read something you couldn't read with both eyes wide open.
00:19:29.680 --> 00:19:30.720
It does help sometimes.
00:19:30.880 --> 00:19:31.519
Does it really?
00:19:31.680 --> 00:19:32.000
Yeah.
00:19:32.240 --> 00:19:39.839
I was doing this, I was doing that thing where you've got one eye open and you're squinting and you're pulling it close and far away and everything.
00:19:40.000 --> 00:19:44.960
And I like ten times, and I said, Fuck it, took a picture of it and blew up the picture of it.
00:19:45.200 --> 00:19:47.200
Oh, that's not even what I was reading at all.
00:19:47.440 --> 00:19:47.680
Yeah.
00:19:47.920 --> 00:19:53.039
One of the nice things about smartphones nowadays, oh I can't read this, but I'll take a picture of it.
00:19:53.279 --> 00:19:53.759
Oh, okay.
00:19:53.839 --> 00:19:54.319
I can read it.
00:19:54.799 --> 00:19:55.359
What's so crazy?
00:19:55.519 --> 00:19:58.640
If I I've been doing that for years, I actually taught that to somebody the other day.
00:19:58.799 --> 00:19:59.839
They're like, wait, what?
00:20:00.000 --> 00:20:02.000
And I'm like, I'm like, you know what's even better?
00:20:02.079 --> 00:20:03.440
You don't even gotta take a picture of it.
00:20:03.599 --> 00:20:05.680
Just turn your camera on and zoom in.
00:20:05.920 --> 00:20:11.440
They were like, whoa, and then I caught them doing it, and I was like, and you already wear glasses.
00:20:12.240 --> 00:20:13.119
Yeah, yeah.
00:20:13.359 --> 00:20:14.160
No, so good.
00:20:14.400 --> 00:20:15.200
Health stuff's good.
00:20:15.279 --> 00:20:15.519
That's good.
00:20:15.599 --> 00:20:16.799
You've lost a ton of weight.
00:20:17.039 --> 00:20:18.319
Not a literal Todd.
00:20:18.400 --> 00:20:20.480
Yeah, but they've got your blood sugar under control.
00:20:20.559 --> 00:20:21.519
That's what I care about.
00:20:21.680 --> 00:20:22.079
Yeah.
00:20:22.319 --> 00:20:32.000
I mean, I remember when you were much chunkier than you've been, and you were wearing your your I call them your big boy cargo pants because they were like gray car hearts.
00:20:32.960 --> 00:20:39.359
And that you just look like a like one of those Roblox people because you were just thick in the middle.
00:20:40.559 --> 00:20:42.319
And now you're like a stick figure.
00:20:42.559 --> 00:20:43.680
Pretty close, anyways.
00:20:43.839 --> 00:20:44.079
Yeah.
00:20:44.480 --> 00:20:46.640
How many times have you had to downsize your clothes?
00:20:46.880 --> 00:20:47.200
Yeah.
00:20:47.759 --> 00:20:48.640
We've done it once.
00:20:48.799 --> 00:20:53.920
Well, that's what I'm saying, is you've needed to downsize every week, you've needed to go down at least a half size.
00:20:54.160 --> 00:20:56.400
Yeah, I've gone through two belts.
00:20:56.640 --> 00:20:59.519
The belt I have currently is too big.
00:20:59.759 --> 00:21:04.000
I was gonna say, don't doesn't isn't your shop right by where you buy your belts?
00:21:04.160 --> 00:21:04.480
Yeah.
00:21:04.720 --> 00:21:07.839
So you can just walk over there and grab one after work with it.
00:21:07.920 --> 00:21:09.119
Well, they're expensive too.
00:21:09.279 --> 00:21:09.519
Yeah.
00:21:09.759 --> 00:21:12.240
You're like, I don't want to fucking work all day just to buy a belt.
00:21:12.400 --> 00:21:14.480
But you know, it's the reality of what you have to do.
00:21:14.720 --> 00:21:15.039
Yeah.
00:21:15.200 --> 00:21:17.200
I bought some of those, I can't remember what they're called.
00:21:17.359 --> 00:21:20.960
Basically, it's a velcro thing that goes through your belt loops.
00:21:21.200 --> 00:21:21.519
Okay.
00:21:21.920 --> 00:21:29.440
Um, it's basically a uh velcro strap that has some bungeeness to it, uh-huh.
00:21:29.759 --> 00:21:36.720
And then it basically you put it through one belt loop and then feed it through another belt loop and then cinch it together.
00:21:37.119 --> 00:21:39.599
And it works like a belt effectively.
00:21:39.839 --> 00:21:40.160
Yeah.
00:21:40.559 --> 00:21:42.400
Um so I got some of those.
00:21:42.880 --> 00:21:43.200
Nice.
00:21:43.680 --> 00:21:47.279
So because I wear stuff on my belt.
00:21:47.519 --> 00:21:47.920
Yeah.
00:21:48.319 --> 00:21:51.599
Like my phone case and my um Leatherman case.
00:21:51.920 --> 00:21:58.160
Well, I appreciate it because when I'm behind you and you reach up, I don't want to see dark crack of the moon.
00:21:58.559 --> 00:22:09.839
I don't I I giggle every time I see it does not matter, man, woman, it doesn't matter every time I see butt crack, my brain instantly goes butt crack and I giggle.
00:22:10.240 --> 00:22:15.279
And I don't wanna I don't want to be walking behind you and say, hey, can you reach out for me?
00:22:15.359 --> 00:22:17.200
And then start giggling because that's rude.
00:22:17.519 --> 00:22:18.480
It's not very plain.
00:22:18.799 --> 00:22:26.480
I mean, I'm sure some of the ladies at the stores might like it, like like the one we got hugs from today, one of them, I'm sure they like it.
00:22:27.440 --> 00:22:29.599
But I'm like, no, I've I've seen enough.
00:22:29.680 --> 00:22:30.960
I've seen enough of you.
00:22:33.039 --> 00:22:43.359
Uh yeah, I mean, you know, it's not, I mean, it's not nearly as bad as the sash quat that I work with, but you know, it's kind of right on that border, man.
00:22:43.599 --> 00:22:47.759
They are uh I still gagged a little bit thinking about that.
00:22:48.000 --> 00:22:51.119
And anyways, well, I'm glad you're doing better.
00:22:51.279 --> 00:22:53.759
Except for the fact that you look tired all the time.
00:22:54.000 --> 00:22:58.079
Um, I'm super happy that they have figured out a trick to keep your blood sugar down.
00:22:58.240 --> 00:23:02.559
Now, why do you why do they think the Ozempic is working to keep your blood sugar down?
00:23:02.799 --> 00:23:05.279
Because that's one of the things it gets prescribed for.
00:23:05.519 --> 00:23:17.039
I I understand, but I don't is it is it targeting your pancreas, which is what helps I'm not sure exactly what the mechanism is that causes it to control your blood sugar better.
00:23:17.279 --> 00:23:18.640
I mean, that's really nifty.
00:23:18.720 --> 00:23:27.839
Even for people who who, you know, if they're diabetic, but they whether they need to lose weight or not, if that like you're like it didn't matter what you did for a while there.
00:23:28.000 --> 00:23:31.519
There was only a few days where you really dropped down to decent numbers.
00:23:31.680 --> 00:23:37.440
So for me, I'm you know, I understand there's a lot of people out there who don't believe in like Ozempic or Roe or whatever.
00:23:38.079 --> 00:23:44.160
And I'm just really happy because those high high blood sugars does damage your body.
00:23:44.319 --> 00:23:44.640
Yeah.
00:23:44.799 --> 00:23:48.640
And so now that it's under control, now you know what kind of damage it did.
00:23:48.720 --> 00:23:50.720
And now you gotta get your eyes fixed.
00:23:51.039 --> 00:24:12.319
Well, yeah, the doctor was talking about one of the uh blood tests came back showing that there was some liver damage or not liver kidney damage, because it basically showed that uh there was protein, a specific protein in my urine, which shows that there's basically been holes poked in your kidneys.
00:24:12.799 --> 00:24:13.279
Yeah.
00:24:13.519 --> 00:24:20.880
Um although it wasn't at dangerous levels yet, it was still a sign that things will be getting much worse.
00:24:21.039 --> 00:24:21.440
Yeah.
00:24:21.680 --> 00:24:23.200
Um, so yeah.
00:24:23.599 --> 00:24:29.680
So you think so do they think now that everything is on the mend kind of direction?
00:24:29.920 --> 00:24:30.240
Yeah.
00:24:30.480 --> 00:24:31.440
I think that's good.
00:24:31.599 --> 00:24:36.079
I mean, obviously there's one thing we're not talking about on air, and that's perfectly fine.
00:24:36.240 --> 00:24:36.559
Yeah.
00:24:36.799 --> 00:24:43.599
But um, you know, the the whole point is to so for the last 13 years you've been dealing with your health.
00:24:43.680 --> 00:24:43.920
Yeah.
00:24:44.079 --> 00:24:50.720
And what's interesting to me, and what a lot of people don't understand, is health is not something that just gets better overnight.
00:24:50.880 --> 00:24:53.119
It it takes time, and I mean, there sure.
00:24:53.200 --> 00:24:55.599
I mean, if you're in a coma, you might wake up the next day, sure.
00:24:55.839 --> 00:25:00.319
But as far as long-term health, it's like something you really have to work at all the time.
00:25:01.039 --> 00:25:10.319
Um, and it's just like I can tell how my joints feel when I'm just like, I don't care, I want to eat cake and candy all day today.
00:25:10.400 --> 00:25:15.440
And oh, trust me, my joints yell at me for like a week when that happens.
00:25:16.240 --> 00:25:26.319
But for you, it's been a very long time coming, getting better health because it was 2013, uh, when you found out your heart condition.
00:25:26.559 --> 00:25:27.119
Yeah.
00:25:27.359 --> 00:25:37.119
And then it's just been it feels like if if it feels like it's been such an uphill battle to get you to the point where it's just like your health is in better order and you're you know doing better.
00:25:37.759 --> 00:25:43.519
I because it for a long time there, you couldn't even be comfortable sitting down, you couldn't even come comfortable laying down.
00:25:43.599 --> 00:25:51.920
I mean, you just like everything was so uncomfortable, and so what people don't understand is that I've been with you on this journey for 13 years as far as your health goes.
00:25:52.079 --> 00:26:03.119
And so for me, it's very satisfying to see your health getting better, and not just getting better, but like, oh, getting better.
00:26:03.359 --> 00:26:04.400
Yeah, you know what I mean?
00:26:04.559 --> 00:26:06.240
And it's gotta feel good to you.
00:26:06.480 --> 00:26:17.680
I mean Yeah, I mean, the with my diabetes, I never really noticed any like uh side effects other than my eyes getting worse.
00:26:17.920 --> 00:26:26.640
Um, there weren't any um I never had any of the symptoms of what you would normally get when you have really high blood sugar.
00:26:26.880 --> 00:26:27.200
Yeah.
00:26:27.680 --> 00:26:31.759
Um but when my blood sugar gets low, I fucking notice it really fast.
00:26:31.920 --> 00:26:32.400
Yeah.
00:26:32.640 --> 00:26:37.519
Um which was one of the reasons why I stopped taking that foreman a long, long time ago.
00:26:37.759 --> 00:26:39.039
Because it was dropping you too low.
00:26:39.279 --> 00:26:46.720
Yeah, because basically every time I took took the medication, I'd fucking get sick, and then I'd have to fucking eat sugar.
00:26:47.119 --> 00:26:50.960
Yeah, and it's and it and it's just a it's an evil fucking cycle on your body.
00:26:51.359 --> 00:26:51.680
Yeah.
00:26:52.160 --> 00:26:55.759
So I stopped taking at that time I was borderline.
00:26:56.319 --> 00:27:02.160
Um I wasn't it it wasn't where I was like, oh, your blood sugar is 300 and something.
00:27:02.319 --> 00:27:03.279
It wasn't like that.
00:27:03.599 --> 00:27:07.119
So basically every time I took metroll, my blood sugar would crash.
00:27:07.359 --> 00:27:09.920
And so I stopped doing it because I'm like, this is fucking stupid.
00:27:10.160 --> 00:27:10.400
Yeah.
00:27:10.640 --> 00:27:15.839
I mean it's what's really interesting is that you very much at times remind me of mommy.
00:27:16.000 --> 00:27:16.640
Hi mommy.
00:27:16.799 --> 00:27:23.119
Hi mommy, hi mommy, um, because she hates any medications they try to give her.
00:27:23.279 --> 00:27:23.839
Yeah.
00:27:24.079 --> 00:27:30.480
And I remember when we first when you first started your health journey and they were talking about the meds for your heart and everything.
00:27:30.720 --> 00:27:32.400
I remember how annoyed you were.
00:27:32.640 --> 00:27:33.119
Yeah.
00:27:33.359 --> 00:27:38.079
I I I think you're still annoyed to this day, but I think you're more accepting of it.
00:27:38.240 --> 00:27:44.319
Like, this is what I have to do because you've gone for periods of times, one, two, three days without it, and you're like, oh fuck.
00:27:44.799 --> 00:27:54.559
You know, so it's a lot of people don't understand the dynamic of our friendship, and they don't understand, like, so I've had people say sometimes he's kind of mean to you.
00:27:54.640 --> 00:27:59.680
I'm like, yeah, well, you know, he's I'm probably one of the people closest to him in the world, he's closest to me.
00:27:59.839 --> 00:28:14.000
And and it's like, you know, sometimes you do get snarky and vent at the people closest to you, and it's I don't take it, I don't, I don't always take it personally, but I do understand that if I want to be able to vent to you, you need to be able to vent to me.
00:28:14.240 --> 00:28:16.559
Yeah, yeah, bitch, take that.
00:28:16.799 --> 00:28:28.400
Um, but that's a big part of our dynamic is the fact that you know it's it's it's like having this as far as my family and all of us are concerned, you're another one of the kids.
00:28:28.960 --> 00:28:33.599
And so for me, it's just like I'm not, you know, I want to see how this story goes.
00:28:33.759 --> 00:28:35.359
Your dad ain't my daddy.
00:28:35.680 --> 00:28:38.720
Well, there is no part of black that my father is.
00:28:39.119 --> 00:28:40.240
So that's okay.
00:28:40.480 --> 00:28:44.240
But my mom, you know, high cheap almost like my mom.
00:28:44.640 --> 00:28:53.279
I bet if you look at a picture of your mom and put darker hair on her, if you put darker hair on Miss Connie, she'd be like, Oh yeah, she could pass for Rose's sister.
00:28:54.000 --> 00:28:54.880
I betcha.
00:28:55.359 --> 00:29:05.200
Anyways, um, so I tell people, I'm just like, it's not just this the weird work thing, there's other aspects to it.
00:29:05.279 --> 00:29:17.119
And it's just like, I love having, I love the fact that I have somebody in my life and I like being in somebody else's life that in all the years we've known each other, we haven't let each other down.
00:29:17.440 --> 00:29:19.519
And that's a hard thing to do in friendships.
00:29:19.759 --> 00:29:28.640
It really is, because you get sometimes if you're having like, you know, something going on, you're you get a little judgy about it or whatever.
00:29:28.720 --> 00:29:28.880
Yeah.
00:29:29.039 --> 00:29:36.000
Because like, trust me, if y'all think I haven't felt the judgment sometimes of my personal life choices over the years, you're wrong.
00:29:36.640 --> 00:29:38.400
But he's so sweet about how he does it.
00:29:38.480 --> 00:29:42.000
He was like, Well, you know, you'll say whatever.
00:29:42.160 --> 00:29:45.839
But I also feel the same way, like, you know, about some of the girls you've dated.
00:29:45.920 --> 00:29:48.480
I'm like, I don't know how I would think about that.
00:29:48.880 --> 00:29:51.279
But I'm excited that you're doing better.
00:29:51.440 --> 00:30:06.400
Yes, there's still a few more stepping blocks, but it feels it finally feels instead of it's like a sheer climb up the mountain, it finally feels like, oh, like we're we're up there and now we can and you can enjoy the the steps to success for your health.
00:30:06.480 --> 00:30:06.799
Yeah.
00:30:06.960 --> 00:30:14.160
You know, I worry about it all the time, and it's not even my body or or or my heart or my redact.
00:30:14.400 --> 00:30:15.839
It's not none of that's on me.
00:30:15.920 --> 00:30:16.160
Yeah.
00:30:16.319 --> 00:30:24.319
And it's so it's it's really funny that like I feel very celebratory when you like say stuff about how your health's doing.
00:30:24.400 --> 00:30:25.680
Like, I'll ask you.
00:30:25.839 --> 00:30:30.000
Because let me tell you what he is not a uh divulgent person.
00:30:30.160 --> 00:30:32.319
You gotta ask him if you want to know something, ladies.
00:30:32.480 --> 00:30:34.160
You just have to ask him.
00:30:34.400 --> 00:30:36.880
He'll tell he'll tell you the three basic things.
00:30:37.039 --> 00:30:41.759
He's angry, he's minuscule, and his dad was a pimp.
00:30:42.079 --> 00:30:43.119
The basic info.
00:30:43.359 --> 00:30:44.559
Yep, that's all you need to know.
00:30:44.720 --> 00:30:45.519
That's all you need to know.
00:30:45.599 --> 00:30:47.839
And his pimp hand is very strong, trust me.
00:30:48.559 --> 00:30:59.119
Can't tell these people how many times over the years people really thought when I was when you're like, gotta keep my pimp pants wrong, people really did think that you were slapping me at our old job.
00:30:59.359 --> 00:31:07.680
You know, but yeah, no, that's I'm super happy about the so how high since you've started the Ozempic, how high has your blood sugar gotten?
00:31:07.920 --> 00:31:11.440
Um because I know you said it was a pretty immediate trend down.
00:31:11.680 --> 00:31:12.160
Yeah.
00:31:12.400 --> 00:31:20.160
A couple of times it's been over 180, but for the most part it's been like 130, 150?
00:31:20.480 --> 00:31:21.759
No, it's been lower than that.
00:31:21.920 --> 00:31:22.480
Oh wow.
00:31:22.799 --> 00:31:25.759
Most of the time it's been around like 100.
00:31:26.400 --> 00:31:27.359
When do you feel the best?
00:31:27.440 --> 00:31:29.279
With your blood sugar, when do you feel the best?
00:31:29.359 --> 00:31:31.039
When it's rocking around what number?
00:31:31.359 --> 00:31:34.160
Um, like I said, I don't really notice it when it's high.
00:31:34.400 --> 00:31:38.160
So as long as it's above like five, I can find.
00:31:38.559 --> 00:31:39.440
Oh, that's great.
00:31:39.680 --> 00:31:44.720
Yes, when it dips into the even sometimes at 88, I'll start feeling off.
00:31:45.039 --> 00:31:51.440
Um So what so so you obviously you know you they're using the Ozempic to help.
00:31:51.839 --> 00:31:53.920
They're not you don't have to do Metformin anymore, though.
00:31:54.240 --> 00:31:55.359
I do do Metformin.
00:31:55.680 --> 00:31:59.200
So I wonder what would happen if they started taking off Metformin and just had to do the O's.
00:31:59.680 --> 00:32:00.240
I don't know.
00:32:03.920 --> 00:32:09.759
I mean I'd rather not do Ozempic than stab myself for that one.
00:32:10.160 --> 00:32:16.000
Also, the fucking well, so Metformin and Ozimpic both have similar side effects.
00:32:16.720 --> 00:32:18.160
So you're doubling your damage.
00:32:18.400 --> 00:32:18.880
Yeah.
00:32:19.119 --> 00:32:25.759
Um so uh but the Ozympic is the one that will make you nauseous, also.
00:32:25.920 --> 00:32:26.160
Yeah.
00:32:26.400 --> 00:32:33.279
So the the um metformin tends to have intestinal issues, let's call it.
00:32:33.519 --> 00:32:33.839
Yeah.
00:32:34.079 --> 00:32:38.319
Um, but the osympic does that and will make you vomit too.
00:32:38.480 --> 00:32:38.799
Yeah.
00:32:38.960 --> 00:32:44.000
And so that's the one that I'll wake up in the middle of the night being like, I think I'm gonna throw off.
00:32:44.079 --> 00:32:46.880
And then I'll have to sit in my chair rather than lay down.
00:32:47.039 --> 00:32:47.440
Yeah.
00:32:47.680 --> 00:32:49.279
Because laying down makes it worse.
00:32:49.440 --> 00:32:49.680
Yeah.
00:32:49.839 --> 00:32:54.640
So I have to sit in my chair until I fall asleep, and then after an hour or two, usually it'll be fine.
00:32:54.720 --> 00:32:57.759
By then I'm in pain from fucking sitting in my chair.
00:32:57.839 --> 00:33:00.960
So then I'll get back in bed, and usually it's fine, but yeah.
00:33:01.279 --> 00:33:18.720
Yeah, a lot a lot of people do not understand how painful it can be on your body if like you go work a full day of work, then you go to your home office, or for you, you have you you kind of have a mix, you're like me, where you have your space where your computer is, but you also do work for like hypnotic gifts and all that.
00:33:18.799 --> 00:33:21.839
So you basically have your workspace and home, and they don't understand.
00:33:21.920 --> 00:33:27.519
Sometimes when you get home from work, you like me the other day, I worked on artwork for six hours.
00:33:28.000 --> 00:33:30.799
And it was like, I'm and I'm really narrowing it down.
00:33:31.200 --> 00:33:34.160
I'm really narrowing it down because something has to give.
00:33:34.799 --> 00:33:40.079
And uh I so I'm like, okay, I've got this formula down now that I use and I love it.
00:33:40.400 --> 00:33:42.960
And um, but people don't understand.
00:33:43.119 --> 00:33:51.440
Like, you go work all day, and for you, uh, your your car is incapacitated at this time, you're getting a different car in the next few months, probably.
00:33:51.680 --> 00:34:01.680
Um, so you ride the bus because it's too you could walk to your work, it's only like 2.7 miles, but then you got to be on your feet all day.
00:34:01.839 --> 00:34:02.240
Yeah.
00:34:02.480 --> 00:34:07.839
And and so people don't understand that when you have to go home and do your side projects at home and you have to sit to do it.
00:34:08.000 --> 00:34:10.880
Like, dude, you need to be able to lay down comfortably.
00:34:10.960 --> 00:34:12.400
Yeah, not nauseously.
00:34:12.480 --> 00:34:20.000
You need to be able to lay down comfortably and get your rest because then you go sit in your chair and you fall asleep and it hurts.
00:34:20.239 --> 00:34:20.719
Yeah.
00:34:20.960 --> 00:34:25.360
I mean, like, we have pretty comfy chairs here, but six hours at a go.
00:34:25.440 --> 00:34:34.639
I I mean, and you'll notice, like, a lot of people probably hear it when recording that they can hear when we've had enough time, or we're like, okay, um I need a break.
00:34:34.800 --> 00:34:36.000
Because you know what I mean?
00:34:36.159 --> 00:34:36.880
They can hear it.
00:34:37.039 --> 00:34:40.159
But yeah, and man, that's tough.
00:34:40.320 --> 00:34:51.360
And I can honestly say I saw you the other day and and I could tell something was up because you were like, Woo the bathroom, and you were like, I'm like, if I would have stood in your way of the joke, you probably would have knocked me out.
00:34:51.599 --> 00:34:52.000
Yeah.
00:34:52.239 --> 00:34:54.239
You know, and and I get it.
00:34:54.400 --> 00:34:58.880
I'm I'm I just I wish they could keep your I mean, obviously it's a pancreatic disorder, right?
00:34:59.039 --> 00:35:01.440
The pancreas is what controls your blood sugar, right?
00:35:01.599 --> 00:35:02.559
Yes, yeah.
00:35:02.719 --> 00:35:06.800
So it's what yeah, it's what controls your uh insulin.
00:35:07.039 --> 00:35:07.840
Insulin, yeah.
00:35:08.000 --> 00:35:13.440
And what's really what's really crazy is that isn't that a side effect of some of your heart medications?
00:35:13.519 --> 00:35:16.400
It could mess with your pancreas, kidneys, and liver.
00:35:16.480 --> 00:35:18.480
Like um, I don't remember.
00:35:18.639 --> 00:35:19.599
I don't think so.
00:35:19.920 --> 00:35:21.679
No, just the liver and kidneys.
00:35:21.920 --> 00:35:42.159
Yeah, yeah, it's it's it's to it's tough because it's like some days, you know, I I think I some some days I think, and I can see you where it's just like not necessarily you want to talk about it or not talk about it, but I can just see I'm and I think to myself, I'm like, when's the last normal day he had health-wise?
00:35:42.960 --> 00:35:51.840
Because for the last 13 years, I mean you can have good health days, yeah, where nothing's bugging me, everything's good, I'm getting my walk-in, and I ate food, everything's great.
00:35:51.920 --> 00:35:57.199
But I and I think to myself, but is that the new normal for your health days?
00:35:57.360 --> 00:36:02.079
Because my health struggles, yes, I need to lose weight, and Jesus knows I will someday.
00:36:02.239 --> 00:36:05.280
Like when they put me in the oven and burn me to a crisp, I think.
00:36:05.440 --> 00:36:15.519
But you know, I mean, my weight fluctuates a bit, it's gone down, it got went down quite a bit when I got sick, but then you know, then I had tasted food again and I feel like yum.
00:36:15.679 --> 00:36:23.599
Uh, anyways, um, but I think, man, is there anything that's like you have a normal health day anymore?
00:36:24.159 --> 00:36:32.719
You know, like there's good health days and there's and there's not good health days, but it's like, what would be what would it entail to have a normal health day again for you?
00:36:32.960 --> 00:36:36.400
No meds, eat what you want, drink what you want.
00:36:36.559 --> 00:36:46.239
I mean, I I don't know, honestly, because it's it's it's been so long that I've seen you work around either a paleolithic carnivore or keto-style diet.
00:36:47.119 --> 00:36:57.280
And uh I don't think I've ever seen you drink sugared soda pops, like maybe once or twice on takeout food when we're traveling.
00:36:57.519 --> 00:37:01.760
Yeah, and that's usually because they don't have a different option diet or whatever.
00:37:01.920 --> 00:37:02.480
Yeah, yeah.
00:37:02.719 --> 00:37:08.880
So it's like I I wonder what would be what would you consider a back to normal health day?
00:37:09.280 --> 00:37:14.079
I mean, sure being able to eat whatever I want, although I don't know.
00:37:14.239 --> 00:37:19.840
The that's that is like a secondary concern to me.
00:37:20.159 --> 00:37:20.400
Okay.
00:37:20.719 --> 00:37:24.079
I'd rather feel good than be able to eat whatever I want.
00:37:24.320 --> 00:37:28.639
So you've felt okay for a long time, but when was the last time you felt really good?
00:37:28.960 --> 00:37:34.079
Um honestly when I was on the paleo diet, when I was on the bullet scoop diet.
00:37:34.239 --> 00:37:36.159
Oh my god, that's like 10 years ago.
00:37:36.320 --> 00:37:36.800
Yeah.
00:37:37.039 --> 00:37:40.239
And you so it's just kind of been okay days since?
00:37:40.480 --> 00:37:41.039
Yeah.
00:37:41.280 --> 00:37:46.320
I mean, when I was doing that and I was working out, that was when I was feeling the best.
00:37:46.559 --> 00:37:46.960
Uh-huh.
00:37:47.920 --> 00:37:52.320
Um, yeah, since then it's been meh at best.
00:37:52.719 --> 00:37:54.960
Like okay days or tired days.
00:37:55.280 --> 00:37:56.079
Okay days.
00:37:56.320 --> 00:38:01.920
Days where it's like, okay, uh I'm feeling okay, but I'm not like, yes, I feel fantastic.
00:38:02.079 --> 00:38:03.440
And wasn't having any of those.
00:38:03.760 --> 00:38:04.159
I remember.
00:38:04.320 --> 00:38:05.039
Well, what was that?
00:38:05.119 --> 00:38:07.840
What was that thing you used to do when you were working out?
00:38:07.920 --> 00:38:16.079
And it obviously it was this is how people know we've known each other a long time because you quit doing the paleo diet in 2013, because 2013 is when you had your heart surgery.
00:38:16.639 --> 00:38:26.239
Um, but before that, that six months before, between the first incident and when they had you in for that, your first ablation to your last in that time period, you were doing paleo.
00:38:26.480 --> 00:38:29.119
There used to be this weird thing you used to do and you used to jump up really high.
00:38:29.280 --> 00:38:30.159
What was it called?
00:38:30.320 --> 00:38:32.880
I I say bear crawl in my head, but that's not right.
00:38:33.119 --> 00:38:33.920
Bear crawl.
00:38:34.079 --> 00:38:35.280
I mean burpees.
00:38:35.440 --> 00:38:36.000
Burpee.
00:38:36.159 --> 00:38:36.800
There you go.
00:38:37.039 --> 00:38:39.039
Let me and let me tell you, nobody else knows.
00:38:39.119 --> 00:38:48.400
Like I know because when you were when you were doing your your paleo, and you were doing you would just randomly do a burpee in the day and be like, woohoo, and jump really high.
00:38:48.719 --> 00:38:58.079
What's interesting about all this is um I work with somebody who wants to be shot if she lives past 50.
00:38:58.239 --> 00:39:00.159
She does not want to live a day past 50.
00:39:00.639 --> 00:39:02.960
And I'm like, that's that's heartbreaking.
00:39:03.119 --> 00:39:09.440
And and and you know, for me, and I'm very sentimental about this, and I'm very uh, I mean, I we all struggle, right?
00:39:09.519 --> 00:39:14.079
Yeah, and uh, and I and I said to her, I said, I said, yeah, that is just fucking heartbreaking, man.
00:39:14.239 --> 00:39:15.199
I'm like, don't say that.
00:39:15.280 --> 00:39:17.039
I said, You're gonna live past 50, don't say that.
00:39:17.119 --> 00:39:18.880
Nope, I want to, I don't want to live past 50.
00:39:20.079 --> 00:39:23.440
Now, her mom's closer to mommy's age, right?
00:39:23.679 --> 00:39:23.920
Okay.
00:39:24.079 --> 00:39:24.639
Hi, mommy.
00:39:24.800 --> 00:39:25.280
Hi, mommy.
00:39:25.440 --> 00:39:27.599
I know we already said hi, but I always love saying hi, mommy.
00:39:27.920 --> 00:39:37.679
Um, I don't think she realizes the probability of her parent passing away in the next 20 years of her life is a high probability.
00:39:37.840 --> 00:39:38.400
Yeah.
00:39:38.719 --> 00:39:43.199
Because it is uh it's it's a tricky, it's a tricky slope.
00:39:43.360 --> 00:39:45.360
It's a tricky slope, you know.
00:39:45.679 --> 00:39:52.480
And uh, and she was just like, nope, I don't want to be old, I don't want to, I don't want to deal with things, and it wasn't making sense what she was saying.
00:39:52.639 --> 00:39:55.119
And I said, I said, wait, say that again.
00:39:55.280 --> 00:39:59.679
And she said, I don't want to live live past 50, I want to go first, that's that.
00:39:59.840 --> 00:40:04.719
And I went, oh, I said, I said, you don't want to watch everybody else you know die.
00:40:04.800 --> 00:40:06.159
And she goes, exactly.
00:40:06.400 --> 00:40:07.840
I said, let me tell you something.
00:40:08.079 --> 00:40:21.519
I said, when I was like 27, I said, I told my mom, I said, I want to be the first to go, I want to be the first um to be gone because I don't want to watch any of you other people go first.
00:40:21.760 --> 00:40:28.000
And I said, and my mom, I said, I said, listen to me, girl, mom got so upset and she told me, don't ever say that.
00:40:28.159 --> 00:40:30.400
That's not fair because that's not the natural order of things.
00:40:30.480 --> 00:40:32.639
That's not how it's supposed to go.
00:40:33.039 --> 00:40:36.159
And so it was really interesting because she just blinked at me.
00:40:36.320 --> 00:40:44.480
But I was talking to one of my other work co-workers, and I was just like, this breaks my heart that at her age, she's like, Yep, I'm I could die tomorrow and I'd be happy.
00:40:44.639 --> 00:40:47.119
Yeah, and I'm just like, Jesus Christ.
00:40:47.519 --> 00:40:48.639
I can get that.
00:40:49.199 --> 00:40:57.280
I I know, but I I just thought I thought one of the things I think to myself, uh think to myself all three of you.
00:40:57.519 --> 00:40:58.400
All three of me.
00:40:58.800 --> 00:41:00.320
Well, there's only really two.
00:41:00.719 --> 00:41:02.880
Well, there's two of me and then my inner child.
00:41:02.960 --> 00:41:07.840
So I guess it is three, but uh it's I'm like hot water and cold water sometimes.
00:41:08.400 --> 00:41:11.599
Uh it's very psychotic imbalance at times.
00:41:11.920 --> 00:41:20.320
But all I think to myself is when I hear people say things like that, is I think, you know, life can be so much worse.
00:41:21.119 --> 00:41:24.480
It breaks my heart that that she feels that way.
00:41:24.639 --> 00:41:29.760
Because I think she's a fantastic and wonderful woman and a good mom, even though her kids are shits.
00:41:29.920 --> 00:41:31.280
I mean, they really are.
00:41:31.920 --> 00:41:46.480
Her her daughter was in the other day and bought some books, and it was just like, uh, and she was she was talking about her mom, but it was just like, yeah, these are for me and mom to read, these are just for mom.
00:41:46.880 --> 00:41:49.679
This is for mother to read to see if I can read it.
00:41:49.760 --> 00:41:51.199
And I was just like, damn.
00:41:51.840 --> 00:42:00.159
But the the point is, is that I thought to myself, I've never once heard you say ever that you like, fuck it, I'm done.
00:42:00.559 --> 00:42:03.519
I've always heard you say, I'm gonna outlive all you motherfuckers.
00:42:03.679 --> 00:42:04.000
Yep.
00:42:04.159 --> 00:42:05.599
But I get where you would feel.
00:42:05.679 --> 00:42:15.920
I mean, obviously, it causes um some emotion for me when I hear you say, I get that, but not in a bad way, just like in a good way, like, uh, you're human.
00:42:16.239 --> 00:42:17.280
That kind of way.
00:42:17.519 --> 00:42:21.679
Yeah, uh well, intellectually, I can fucking understand.
00:42:22.079 --> 00:42:23.039
Absolutely.
00:42:23.280 --> 00:42:25.840
Uh emotionally, no, not really.
00:42:26.000 --> 00:42:33.039
And that is kind of a selfish standpoint to be like, I want to die first, so I don't have to fucking deal with all this.
00:42:33.199 --> 00:42:34.320
I know, I've been told.
00:42:34.480 --> 00:42:45.920
Um it's you know, and it's not a matter of dealing with like somebody's possessions or dealing with the emotional situation of yeah, like mom just died or whatever.
00:42:46.239 --> 00:43:01.679
Like people, and I and it is a very selfish thing because uh it is a very selfish thing, especially when you're highly empathic, you feel everybody else's emotions about that.
00:43:02.320 --> 00:43:09.519
But I said to her, I said, Well, you know, it's just not the natural order of things, that's not how it should be, and you're gonna live to be at least 67.
00:43:09.760 --> 00:43:12.559
I said, So just suck it up, buttercup, and deal with it.
00:43:12.800 --> 00:43:14.960
And she's like, We're not friends, you just cursed me.
00:43:15.039 --> 00:43:15.440
No, I didn't.
00:43:15.519 --> 00:43:20.079
I said, I'm telling you, you're gonna live to be at least 67 as long as you pay attention to your life.
00:43:20.159 --> 00:43:21.360
You'll live at least that long.
00:43:21.519 --> 00:43:24.880
And it was, and here's the ass kicker of the whole thing, right?
00:43:26.000 --> 00:43:30.719
Within 10 minutes, then we were talking about people are telling her she needs to have a baby.
00:43:30.800 --> 00:43:41.760
I'm like, Oh, you should have a baby, and you know, and of course she had a reason for for no, but I'm just like, you're already a good mom, and I think you'd make uh uh uh, you know, she's already a good adoptive mom.
00:43:41.840 --> 00:43:44.079
I think she'd make a great birth mom as well.
00:43:44.719 --> 00:43:51.920
But I think the reason she doesn't want kids is because then she would have uh a reason to live.
00:43:52.320 --> 00:43:59.760
Don't know, but yeah, intellectually I know you get it, but like, yeah, so I'm super happy you're doing better health.
00:44:00.320 --> 00:44:12.159
Wise, I am kind of angry with them because they've been telling you for over a year they're gonna get you to an optometrist, and I think they need to do it now before it gets worse because, like I said, I've noticed you squinting more.
00:44:12.719 --> 00:44:17.840
I think if I remember correctly, that might be one of the side effects of Ozempic.
00:44:18.000 --> 00:44:18.400
Yeah.
00:44:18.639 --> 00:44:20.239
Which would kind of suck.
00:44:20.639 --> 00:44:21.280
Right.
00:44:21.679 --> 00:44:25.760
Uh but I've lost like 38 pounds or something.
00:44:26.000 --> 00:44:26.239
Yeah.
00:44:26.320 --> 00:44:28.639
So you don't really need to lose any more poundage.
00:44:28.880 --> 00:44:31.920
I could probably back your dose off just to help it regulate.
00:44:32.400 --> 00:44:33.440
Maybe take you off the metal.
00:44:35.679 --> 00:44:40.320
But or I could stop taking it altogether, maybe it'd be fine because I've lost so much weight.
00:44:40.480 --> 00:44:40.800
Yeah.
00:44:41.039 --> 00:44:45.840
Because just losing like 10 pounds oftentimes will drop your blood sugar a bunch.
00:44:46.079 --> 00:44:46.559
Yeah.
00:44:46.800 --> 00:44:49.199
Um because what are you rocking now?
00:44:49.360 --> 00:44:50.639
27% body fat now?
00:44:52.480 --> 00:44:53.840
Here's the crazy thing, folks.
00:44:54.000 --> 00:44:59.920
He actually knows because he's got all these neat gadgets and stuff that uh that tell tells him all this stuff.
00:45:00.639 --> 00:45:06.960
I mean, I have a tail that connects to an app on my phone that then tells you this stuff.
00:45:07.760 --> 00:45:09.199
Um 24.
00:45:09.840 --> 00:45:10.079
20.
00:45:10.480 --> 00:45:11.199
Well, 25.
00:45:11.519 --> 00:45:12.320
24.7.
00:45:13.039 --> 00:45:13.599
Nice.
00:45:13.920 --> 00:45:14.719
That's excellent.
00:45:15.119 --> 00:45:17.599
Yeah, I've lost 39.9 pounds.
00:45:17.920 --> 00:45:24.000
Technically, though, I need to lose like another 20 pounds so that I'm normal instead of overweight.
00:45:24.320 --> 00:45:25.599
I think you're normal.
00:45:25.760 --> 00:45:35.920
Uh like it's so weird that like you're the same size as some of your other coworkers, and their body weight's perfectly are you just a dense man?
00:45:36.079 --> 00:45:36.880
Is that what it is?
00:45:36.960 --> 00:45:37.920
You're just dense.
00:45:38.719 --> 00:45:42.320
If I was in the army, I'd been kicked out a long time ago from being overweight.
00:45:42.559 --> 00:45:56.400
No, let me tell you what, I disagree with that statement because I moved military for four years full-time, and I move some fatty fat fats to the next, and I'm a big girl, and I move some fatty fat fats.
00:45:56.559 --> 00:45:59.840
Well, that's because they're become so lax.
00:46:00.079 --> 00:46:00.480
Yep.
00:46:01.039 --> 00:46:04.800
Also, like the standard is what the standard is, right?
00:46:05.039 --> 00:46:10.960
Uh, but there are certain units that keep more to the actual standards than others.
00:46:12.000 --> 00:46:18.320
And like, at least when I was in the 82nd was extremely fucking fit by the book.
00:46:18.559 --> 00:46:19.039
Yeah.
00:46:19.280 --> 00:46:26.559
Um, and so like I saw a couple guys get kicked out because they got overweight, and they're nowhere near what I had.
00:46:27.360 --> 00:46:40.320
Um I I I I don't get me wrong, I loved every minute of seeing the chunky guys because it's not like the upper bodies got chunky, it's not like they got bellies really.
00:46:40.639 --> 00:46:44.719
It was always their butts and their thighs that got really big.
00:46:44.960 --> 00:46:45.840
You know what I mean?
00:46:46.079 --> 00:46:46.800
But I don't know.
00:46:46.960 --> 00:46:49.360
If they do another 20 pounds, they do another 20 pounds.
00:46:49.440 --> 00:46:55.119
I'm just happy your health seems to be doing better, but we need to get on your eyes and you know, yeah.
00:46:55.360 --> 00:47:03.199
I mean, I I want nothing more than to see you lead a happy life and healthy life.
00:47:03.280 --> 00:47:05.199
I don't know which is more important to you.
00:47:05.440 --> 00:47:06.320
Probably healthy.
00:47:06.559 --> 00:47:09.599
Well, the the two of them kind of coincide in tandem.
00:47:09.920 --> 00:47:11.280
Um, but yeah.
00:47:11.519 --> 00:47:18.559
I mean, I think if you could at least get off one of your medications, I think you'd be a lot happier.
00:47:18.719 --> 00:47:19.360
Yeah.
00:47:20.000 --> 00:47:22.159
And but uh, I don't know.
00:47:22.239 --> 00:47:51.840
I I I thought they deserved a health update because they've been with this for a year now, and they've heard about this health struggle, and we kind of didn't talk about it too much for a while, and and that's because some things are worth talking about, some you know, like the overall general and the diabetes is really important to talk about because so many people are type two of diabetes anymore, yeah, and they don't understand that just making small changes can help going from regular soda to diet soda or no soda at all, yeah.
00:47:52.000 --> 00:47:55.360
You know, which is I do flavored water packs, you know.
00:47:55.519 --> 00:47:59.920
I don't I just hit my uh 20-year anniversary.
00:48:00.079 --> 00:48:01.039
Was it 20 years?
00:48:01.199 --> 00:48:05.119
No, 22-year anniversary for no soda, right?
00:48:05.519 --> 00:48:13.519
Yeah, so it's just like I have thought about starting it again though, because look at look, that blackberry Dr.
00:48:13.599 --> 00:48:14.960
Pepper looks delicious.
00:48:15.119 --> 00:48:17.440
It is that looks delicious.
00:48:18.639 --> 00:48:20.320
The cream soda one sounds good too.
00:48:20.719 --> 00:48:21.360
It's really, really good.
00:48:21.599 --> 00:48:25.840
Because I way back in the day, I remember I imagine it's kind of like Dr.
00:48:26.000 --> 00:48:27.280
Pepper root beer floats.
00:48:27.360 --> 00:48:27.920
It's like Dr.
00:48:28.079 --> 00:48:31.280
Pepper floats because it'd be like creamy, and it's like so.
00:48:31.360 --> 00:48:38.559
I have been thinking about having some, but I'm afraid it's just gonna be that rigma roll back to it'll start old habits again.
00:48:38.639 --> 00:48:46.400
Like, well, if I do this, then I can have ice cream three meals a day, and I can have cigarettes 12 packs, you know what I mean?
00:48:46.480 --> 00:48:48.000
Like, I'm trying last night.
00:48:48.079 --> 00:48:50.239
I really didn't think about getting into a pack of cigarettes.
00:48:50.400 --> 00:48:51.280
Honestly, I did.
00:48:51.840 --> 00:48:59.360
Um, because I'm just I'm accepting of the way some things are, and I'm trying to figure out how to change other things in life.
00:48:59.440 --> 00:48:59.760
Yeah.
00:48:59.920 --> 00:49:04.719
So it it leads you, it leaves you mentally, mentally depleted.
00:49:04.880 --> 00:49:05.199
Yeah.
00:49:05.360 --> 00:49:08.559
So then I think, okay, so we'll just do it one day at a time.
00:49:08.639 --> 00:49:09.360
It's fine.
00:49:09.599 --> 00:49:10.000
Yep.
00:49:10.159 --> 00:49:11.360
It's it's perfectly fine.
00:49:11.519 --> 00:49:14.719
And and it doesn't help that last week my schedule was all over the place.
00:49:14.880 --> 00:49:15.280
Yeah.
00:49:15.519 --> 00:49:20.559
Like, yeah, but one thing I do know, I couldn't get blamed for anything.
00:49:21.119 --> 00:49:22.000
Which was great.
00:49:22.079 --> 00:49:23.599
Well, I'm glad your health is doing better.
00:49:23.679 --> 00:49:26.880
I know their health is, they're happy to hear about your health too.
00:49:26.960 --> 00:49:36.880
And for the people we do have listeners that have the diabetes, seeing that there is an end game where there it there can be, you're struggling with the weights, you're struggling with diabetes, there can be something that worked for you.
00:49:36.960 --> 00:49:38.559
You just gotta keep looking at it.
00:49:38.639 --> 00:49:42.639
Yeah, it's just it's frustrating that it's taking this long.
00:49:43.039 --> 00:49:47.920
It's it's taken the invention of a Zimpic to get your blood sugar under control.
00:49:48.719 --> 00:49:53.679
Like, like, I think it's just because it's harder as we get older to lose visceral fat.
00:49:53.920 --> 00:49:55.440
Yeah, that that's some of it, yeah.
00:49:55.920 --> 00:49:57.760
I mean, it's not like you were eating a ton of food.
00:49:57.920 --> 00:49:59.599
You do eat a lot of processed food.
00:49:59.920 --> 00:50:00.239
Yeah.
00:50:00.719 --> 00:50:01.760
That was probably the big part.
00:50:02.480 --> 00:50:04.880
Especially since I've stopped cooking all the time.
00:50:05.360 --> 00:50:07.360
You need to go back to batch cooking, bro.
00:50:07.679 --> 00:50:18.559
Although fucking I mean, most of the time there's a fair amount of the time that I'll buy like chicken well, fried or baked chicken from segue.
00:50:18.800 --> 00:50:19.039
Yeah.
00:50:19.280 --> 00:50:21.440
And then I'll eat it for like two to three days.
00:50:22.000 --> 00:50:24.079
As long as you don't eat the skins, you're fine.
00:50:24.480 --> 00:50:25.840
I mean that's the best part.
00:50:26.079 --> 00:50:26.400
Yeah.
00:50:26.800 --> 00:50:30.079
But yeah, I like to take the whole roasted chickens or whatever.
00:50:30.239 --> 00:50:39.199
I'll have some of the skin, get rid of some of the skin, and then I like to chop it up and put it into salads or you know, into wraps with cheese, all that McFatty goodness.
00:50:39.360 --> 00:50:40.960
But it it's it's such a balance.
00:50:41.039 --> 00:50:42.320
It's yeah.
00:50:42.559 --> 00:50:44.079
But um, good.
00:50:44.320 --> 00:50:46.320
Well, I think they appreciate the update.
00:50:46.480 --> 00:50:48.239
I'm happy to see you doing better.
00:50:48.320 --> 00:50:51.360
We've got medical stuff coming up, and then we can update them again in a few weeks.
00:50:51.440 --> 00:50:51.920
It's fine.
00:50:52.079 --> 00:50:53.519
Yeah, we'll see how it goes.
00:50:53.679 --> 00:50:56.400
Nobody's nobody's looking forward to this medical stuff, I'm gonna tell you.
00:50:56.480 --> 00:50:59.599
None of us, not me, not you, especially not you.
00:50:59.840 --> 00:51:03.280
But what I am happy about is we had a good break.
00:51:03.360 --> 00:51:04.960
Uh, we got some stuff figured out.
00:51:05.119 --> 00:51:09.679
So are we gonna have to miss weeks here and there in the coming future?
00:51:10.000 --> 00:51:17.760
Probably, because I'm getting to the point where um, due to circumstances beyond my control, I have to work five days a week.
00:51:18.079 --> 00:51:21.280
And um, so we've gotta get our head.
00:51:21.679 --> 00:51:30.480
I have to get my head back in the game because uh I know that you need at least one Monday off a month because Mondays are our go-to days.
00:51:30.559 --> 00:51:49.920
Yeah, and it's like we can still hang out and stuff, but it's the pressure of recording that kind of gets a little crazy sometimes because it's just like, man, I was like, like I'm not gonna lie, all I wanted to do today was hang out, talk to you about what I talked to you about off mic, and then be like, how was your week?
00:51:50.159 --> 00:51:53.760
And then go get teriyaki property.
00:51:54.239 --> 00:52:00.559
That's but that's not how it doesn't work that way, they're just not open when we're out in the morning, like otherwise we could have got it and brought it back here.
00:52:00.719 --> 00:52:05.920
And it's just, I don't think people realize how long podcasting episodes actually take to get done.
00:52:06.000 --> 00:52:06.159
Yeah.
00:52:06.320 --> 00:52:13.119
If you're doing an audio only, because if we were doing like a live one, a live video one, it's it it's done.
00:52:13.199 --> 00:52:14.079
It's how it is.
00:52:14.239 --> 00:52:28.960
Yeah, but you know, there's little tweaks that we have to do in the home office to I was talking with some of my friends about uh AI and how I use it to basically create chapter markers.
00:52:30.000 --> 00:52:32.880
And the one friend was like, Oh, just do it yourself.
00:52:32.960 --> 00:52:46.960
I'm like, Yeah, if I want to spend three fucking hours doing it, even if it's incorrect half the fucking time and I have to go back and redo it, it takes like 10 minutes to do this thing that would take me three hours to do manually.
00:52:47.280 --> 00:52:49.039
So fuck that.
00:52:49.840 --> 00:52:51.119
Yeah, no, exactly.
00:52:51.199 --> 00:52:52.880
Like that's that's what I'm saying.
00:52:52.960 --> 00:53:04.639
It's like um, so one of the things that we do with our artwork, because one, it's it's one way to share artist work of people that we've seen and that we like and we enjoy.
00:53:04.719 --> 00:53:06.320
So it's it's it's an easy way to share that.
00:53:06.400 --> 00:53:08.719
So they their name can get out there, their work can get out there.
00:53:08.800 --> 00:53:17.199
Yeah, but then it's also you know, the things I mean, we could do just a black and white with this is the name of our podcast, these are the days we publish, and here's where you find us.
00:53:17.280 --> 00:53:20.559
Yeah, we could do that every time, but that's not fun to me.
00:53:20.719 --> 00:53:30.559
Just like um, I think most people that listen are super smart now, or they were super smart before, but I mean like they're smart enough to figure it out.
00:53:30.719 --> 00:53:35.119
Look at I like to do the fun things like Warhammer and Drifts.
00:53:35.199 --> 00:53:35.599
Yeah.
00:53:35.920 --> 00:53:41.280
And some people might not get it, but I want you to write it down and look at it.
00:53:41.440 --> 00:53:47.199
It's not just war hammered and drifts, it's war hammered DD Rifts.
00:53:47.360 --> 00:53:54.639
Yeah, like your three primary games, or at least two of your primary games, but DD is the most common one for a lot of people.
00:53:54.880 --> 00:53:56.719
It's the most recognizable, though.
00:53:57.280 --> 00:53:58.880
Absolutely role play.
00:53:58.960 --> 00:54:02.480
I don't tell them by role play, I say I play DD because they know what I'm talking about.
00:54:02.639 --> 00:54:08.480
Yeah, I mean, I would understand if you were to say to me the first year I knew you, I wouldn't have understood.
00:54:08.800 --> 00:54:10.800
But now I've known you so long.
00:54:10.880 --> 00:54:14.719
If you're just like, Yes, new Pathfinder, I totally know what you're talking about.
00:54:14.800 --> 00:54:18.159
You're not talking about the car, you're not talking about the SV, you're I know what you're talking about.
00:54:18.480 --> 00:54:19.679
Rifts, I know what you're talking about.
00:54:19.840 --> 00:54:21.519
Warhammer, I know what you're talking about.
00:54:21.599 --> 00:54:27.119
Yeah, and so I like to do fun things with the names, like we just had an episode.
00:54:27.360 --> 00:54:34.480
Um, the squirrels stopped by because even though we were kind of talking a little bit about video games, we're talking about other stuff too.
00:54:34.559 --> 00:54:34.880
Yeah.
00:54:35.119 --> 00:54:43.119
And I like days like that because I kind of want to have a survey at the end of the episode, being like, how much of this episode did you understand?
00:54:43.360 --> 00:54:48.480
Because you can keep up with my brain 97.5% of the time.
00:54:48.880 --> 00:54:53.920
Every every once in a while, y'all, I flip him up and he's like, wait, what the fuck are you talking about?
00:54:54.159 --> 00:54:55.679
And I love it when I can do that.
00:54:55.840 --> 00:54:58.480
But I I love the playfulness with the titles.
00:54:58.719 --> 00:55:12.960
Um, like my two of my favorite titles, uh, I didn't even name them, but I really love The Brains Have Left the Building, such a great title, and The Indumining has begun.
00:55:13.199 --> 00:55:16.800
Those such great titles, such fun episodes.
00:55:16.880 --> 00:55:17.199
Yeah.
00:55:17.519 --> 00:55:22.559
But my favorite episodes are anything about Harry Dresden.
00:55:23.119 --> 00:55:26.159
And it's it's something, yeah, fuck off.
00:55:27.920 --> 00:55:40.000
You know, when I met you and you were telling me about this book series, it was just the book, I was like, I don't have time to read, but I did try to, I did watch some of the TV series, and so I was expecting it to be like that.
00:55:40.159 --> 00:55:46.320
Like, so for a long time when I first started reading Dresden, I was hearing Paul Blackthorne.
00:55:46.400 --> 00:55:48.880
Yeah, yeah, I could hear him, right?
00:55:49.119 --> 00:55:53.599
Yeah, and I could, you know, and in Waldo Butters, I kind of heard like that.
00:55:53.840 --> 00:55:56.559
That's all sounded by hand, it's a little bit like that.
00:55:56.800 --> 00:56:00.800
So he sounded very nasally because he is doing this, right?
00:56:01.119 --> 00:56:01.679
Wow.
00:56:01.920 --> 00:56:02.079
Yeah.
00:56:03.280 --> 00:56:07.199
But is that in actorslash director's name?
00:56:07.360 --> 00:56:08.079
Which one?
00:56:08.320 --> 00:56:10.239
Um, the one who married his daughter.
00:56:10.480 --> 00:56:11.280
Oh, Woody Allen.
00:56:11.440 --> 00:56:12.159
Woody Allen.
00:56:12.239 --> 00:56:12.480
Yeah.
00:56:12.639 --> 00:56:14.960
Yeah, you just reminded me of Woody Allen.
00:56:17.599 --> 00:56:18.159
Anyway.
00:56:18.320 --> 00:56:18.559
Yeah.
00:56:18.719 --> 00:56:30.320
So, you know, for for me, if I would have known 16 years ago how much I would have fallen in love with Dresden, uh, you know, I'd have been like, fuck you, I hate you.
00:56:30.400 --> 00:56:32.239
You're always right, it makes me mad.
00:56:32.480 --> 00:56:35.599
But here's the thing is I really enjoy the series.
00:56:35.840 --> 00:56:48.320
But the minute I heard, because the book I couldn't actually read, um, and I had to actually listen to the audio on because I didn't have time to actually well, I anyways, blood rights.
00:56:48.639 --> 00:56:53.360
Hearing James Marsters like bring this world to life.
00:56:53.760 --> 00:57:04.719
And I'm like, and it anybody who's known me for the last, you haven't, but anybody who's known me for the last any part of my adulthood in the last 30 years, they know what a big Buff of the Vampire Slayer fan I was.
00:57:05.119 --> 00:57:07.360
And they know what a big Spike fan I was.
00:57:07.519 --> 00:57:10.000
And of course, James Marsters played Spike.
00:57:10.719 --> 00:57:18.480
And so I don't, I remember I looked at my ex-husband one time and I was just like, if I ever get divorced, I'm gonna marry that motherfucker right there.
00:57:18.960 --> 00:57:20.320
He did not like that comment.
00:57:20.400 --> 00:57:26.159
I was like, it was like James Marsters, it was either Spike, because he was so Billy Idol, he was so punk rock.
00:57:27.199 --> 00:57:35.280
He's so yeah, but Billy Idol, I only thought was cute when I was a kid because he was he was just he wanted to be a bad boy, but he wasn't really a bad boy.
00:57:35.440 --> 00:57:37.440
But Spike was a bad boy.
00:57:37.760 --> 00:57:53.199
So James, you opened my ears to audibles, and James Marsters opened up this entire world, and it's really funny because he you can hear him, and you can even hear he recognizes when he slips with the character voices a little bit.
00:57:53.360 --> 00:58:04.239
He's mixed a couple of them up in the last two books, um, or a couple of books ago, where he uh Mave and is it Serena?
00:58:04.320 --> 00:58:08.480
Was her name Serena or Sabina or whatever her other her twin's name is?
00:58:08.800 --> 00:58:11.360
Oh um, I don't remember.
00:58:11.599 --> 00:58:13.440
I I no, it's a different name.
00:58:13.679 --> 00:58:14.719
It starts with an S.
00:58:14.880 --> 00:58:20.800
Mave's Mave's actual twin starts with an S because there's Mav's actual daughters.
00:58:20.960 --> 00:58:26.880
So, anyways, um so he reversed them during the whole on when they're on Demon Reach.
00:58:27.039 --> 00:58:38.480
Oh he ended up slipping right there because the the two girls are kind of having a uh well when Aurora and Maeve and Sabine or Sub Sir Serena or whatever her name is.
00:58:38.559 --> 00:58:39.039
Yeah, I don't remember.
00:58:39.280 --> 00:58:39.760
I'm so sorry.
00:58:39.840 --> 00:58:40.880
I feel so bad, Butcher.
00:58:40.960 --> 00:58:41.760
I'm so sorry, Mr.
00:58:41.840 --> 00:58:42.320
Butcher.
00:58:42.480 --> 00:58:46.079
Um, but anyways, he I don't mind those little things like Waldo.
00:58:46.159 --> 00:59:04.239
If you listened the first time he talks about Waldo, he definitely has a little bit more nasaliness to him, but now it's it's interesting because James Marsters does it so smart because it's like you'll hear him in these stories be like, Well, hell, I've known these people for 10 years, hell, I've known this person for five years, 20 years, whatever.
00:59:04.400 --> 00:59:08.079
You can hear the maturity level, and that just made me fall in love with the whole series.
00:59:08.159 --> 00:59:10.159
It's just like there is nobody else.
00:59:10.320 --> 00:59:20.800
And so the funniest thing about all of it is I spend a lot of time when I need to calm down, and like really sometimes it'll happen at work, sometimes it happens when I'm driving.
00:59:20.960 --> 00:59:23.119
I'll have this little thing playing in the back of my head.
00:59:23.199 --> 00:59:27.039
It's like a little drive in theater, and I'm just watching it in the back of my head.
00:59:27.199 --> 00:59:31.199
And I thought they must make a new Dresden Files series.
00:59:31.360 --> 00:59:39.280
Yeah, and what they could do, I'm just putting it out there, is they could use James Marsters to do the narration on it.
00:59:39.519 --> 00:59:47.119
Like he could be just like how uh how I met your mother, how he's sitting his kids down and he's talking about how the past was.
00:59:47.920 --> 00:59:51.760
He literally could do that with Maggie and and Bonea.
00:59:51.920 --> 00:59:54.639
He could literally, James Marsters could be the narrator.
00:59:54.880 --> 00:59:57.360
So let me tell you how this wizard came to light.
00:59:57.440 --> 01:00:00.159
And he could tell his whole story and interject.
01:00:00.320 --> 01:00:04.079
I still think he would need to have him do Bob.
01:00:04.320 --> 01:00:12.000
Yes, at the very least, at the very, very least, they need to have him do Bob uh because he does such a good, he's such a good Bob.
01:00:12.079 --> 01:00:18.320
But anyways, so I'm super glad health is doing good, couple of things to still work on, but that's okay.
01:00:18.480 --> 01:00:21.039
Yeah, team friendship will we'll get there.
01:00:21.360 --> 01:00:29.519
Uh, you know, that's just what we do, and uh yeah, but yeah, people just don't understand how much time actually goes into this.
01:00:29.679 --> 01:00:35.840
Yeah, six hours on artwork, and let me tell you what, that's six hours on artwork for three episodes.
01:00:36.000 --> 01:00:36.400
Yeah.
01:00:36.639 --> 01:00:52.079
It's like, and that's because part of that is because you know, you'll be like, oh, I think this combination looks great, and then your brain, you'll get it all ready, and then either the program, like you saw earlier today, yeah, fucks up, and you got to redo the whole thing.
01:00:52.320 --> 01:00:58.880
Because oh, I mean, we don't we don't have any uh IT or we don't have any staff, we don't have any staff yet.
01:00:59.119 --> 01:01:07.119
Although I do have to say, somebody who is a little behind the scenes and helps with stuff here and there when they can, uh, bogey made some awesome hats.
01:01:07.440 --> 01:01:08.320
Thank you, bogey.
01:01:08.400 --> 01:01:09.679
They're awesome.
01:01:09.840 --> 01:01:11.039
I love my hat.
01:01:11.199 --> 01:01:15.039
Uh, you know, I can't I can't wear it to work as much as I would love to.
01:01:15.119 --> 01:01:18.239
I can't wear it to work, but hopefully you'll be able to wear yours to work.
01:01:18.880 --> 01:01:19.280
Maybe.
01:01:19.519 --> 01:01:21.199
I mean, it's a pretty filthy place.
01:01:21.360 --> 01:01:21.920
Yeah.
01:01:22.800 --> 01:01:27.039
Anyways, but uh yeah, so we'll we'll we'll work on it.
01:01:27.199 --> 01:01:27.519
Yeah.
01:01:27.840 --> 01:01:29.039
Okay, I have to pee.
01:01:29.199 --> 01:01:30.960
So anyway, five more minutes.
01:01:31.280 --> 01:01:33.039

01:01:40.000 --> 01:01:40.960
Okay, everybody.
01:01:41.199 --> 01:01:43.039
