It WouldSeem As Though Families Are Wild

WEBVTT
1
00:00:01.659 --> 00:00:26.679
It wasn't seamless though hi how's it going It's going.
2
00:00:26.699 --> 00:00:29.539
I know. We're doing the podcast at my house, and well...
3
00:00:29.660 --> 00:00:30.500
It's a menagerie.
4
00:00:30.519 --> 00:00:32.350
It's literally a zoo. Okay.
5
00:00:32.810 --> 00:00:34.770
I have just as many animals as you do.
6
00:00:35.250 --> 00:00:39.490
Three dogs, a cat, a goat, three bunny rabbits, a hamster,
7
00:00:39.570 --> 00:00:40.049
and a snake.
8
00:00:40.729 --> 00:00:42.210
I don't know where most of those are.
9
00:00:43.479 --> 00:00:46.280
They're hiding. Okay, really just three dogs. One of them
10
00:00:46.299 --> 00:00:46.960
is psychotic.
11
00:00:47.840 --> 00:00:47.960
And.
12
00:00:48.990 --> 00:00:50.509
Her fat trans cat.
13
00:00:50.890 --> 00:00:51.590
Fat trans cat.
14
00:00:51.909 --> 00:00:52.869
Yeah, yeah.
15
00:00:52.890 --> 00:00:55.670
Delilah, she's nine months old and she just has more
16
00:00:55.789 --> 00:00:58.869
energy than she knows what to do with. She wants
17
00:00:58.890 --> 00:01:00.609
to be with everyone and jump on everyone and put
18
00:01:00.630 --> 00:01:01.619
her mouth on everyone.
19
00:01:01.630 --> 00:01:03.600
Yeah, sounds like my puppy.
20
00:01:03.719 --> 00:01:07.159
Well, and trying to put her in her kennel. Listen,
21
00:01:07.560 --> 00:01:10.959
I'm home all the time. They are kenneled never. Like,
22
00:01:11.040 --> 00:01:16.930
very rarely. Sage, my German Shepherd, will go... Into her kennel,
23
00:01:16.969 --> 00:01:21.659
easy peasy. Always has. And likes it, right? Delilah thinks
24
00:01:21.700 --> 00:01:22.579
it's a game now.
25
00:01:22.980 --> 00:01:24.859
I've given her treats to go in there.
26
00:01:24.879 --> 00:01:29.120
No, she's too smart for that. But now if I'm like, go,
27
00:01:29.180 --> 00:01:30.939
and I walk towards her, she'll run the other way.
28
00:01:31.500 --> 00:01:33.340
She'll run to the bedroom, she'll jump on the bed,
29
00:01:33.640 --> 00:01:36.010
she'll hunch down and bark at me like we're playing.
30
00:01:36.030 --> 00:01:38.950
I'm like, I'm not playing, bitch! I start taking my
31
00:01:38.989 --> 00:01:41.290
earrings off and putting my hair up, ready to fucking
32
00:01:41.769 --> 00:01:45.680
street fight her. And, uh, I eventually have to like
33
00:01:45.900 --> 00:01:49.329
get her and grab her front paws from behind, you know,
34
00:01:49.409 --> 00:01:51.709
or the scruff of her neck. So she'll listen. She,
35
00:01:52.010 --> 00:01:55.489
but it's like fighting an army to get her to
36
00:01:55.530 --> 00:01:57.870
go back in. And I'm sweating. I need a nap.
37
00:01:58.950 --> 00:02:01.310
It's like herding cats, but with one dog.
38
00:02:01.329 --> 00:02:03.030
With one evil dog.
39
00:02:03.069 --> 00:02:07.790
Yeah. I understand that. Well, my puppy that I've mentioned
40
00:02:07.870 --> 00:02:10.770
on here, who is a hundred pounds of puppy.
41
00:02:11.379 --> 00:02:11.659
Yeah.
42
00:02:11.719 --> 00:02:14.180
But she's a Great Dane. So Great Danes are considered
43
00:02:14.219 --> 00:02:15.719
puppies until they're a little over two.
44
00:02:16.520 --> 00:02:17.259
That's disgusting.
45
00:02:17.280 --> 00:02:22.370
And I saw this really funny and accurate picture, which
46
00:02:22.409 --> 00:02:25.030
is like a little puppy, you know, Great Dane puppy,
47
00:02:25.490 --> 00:02:30.110
sweet and precious. And then from about nine months to
48
00:02:30.289 --> 00:02:32.860
a year and a half, there's a picture of a Velociraptor.
49
00:02:33.240 --> 00:02:33.460
Yeah.
50
00:02:33.759 --> 00:02:36.719
And then after that, sweet Great Dane again. And she's
51
00:02:36.840 --> 00:02:38.340
in the Velociraptor phase.
52
00:02:38.699 --> 00:02:38.819
Yeah.
53
00:02:39.139 --> 00:02:42.620
Where she's psychotic, she wants to chew on everybody, everything.
54
00:02:42.639 --> 00:02:43.680
Yeah, she's mean.
55
00:02:43.719 --> 00:02:46.000
Well, mostly everybody. She doesn't chew on.
56
00:02:46.039 --> 00:02:46.860
How long have you had her?
57
00:02:49.530 --> 00:02:53.849
I don't know. She was, I think, beginning of the year.
58
00:02:53.870 --> 00:02:56.990
Okay, yeah, because you got her and then we got Delilah, right?
59
00:02:57.150 --> 00:03:01.219
Yeah, I want to say that we got her in
60
00:03:01.340 --> 00:03:02.360
February or March.
61
00:03:02.379 --> 00:03:05.139
Oh, really? Because it was like right before her birthday. Oh,
62
00:03:05.199 --> 00:03:07.180
and then... Her birthday was in April. Okay, we got
63
00:03:07.199 --> 00:03:09.780
Delilah in January. Okay. So we had Delilah. Okay.
64
00:03:09.979 --> 00:03:11.819
And it could be. I don't know. You know me.
65
00:03:11.840 --> 00:03:12.340
I don't know Tom.
66
00:03:12.360 --> 00:03:15.879
Well, I was... I think that's what happened because I was...
67
00:03:16.719 --> 00:03:18.199
It's your fault I got Delilah.
68
00:03:18.259 --> 00:03:18.520
Yes.
69
00:03:19.219 --> 00:03:22.520
Because you were like, oh, look, this dog outside... Not
70
00:03:22.599 --> 00:03:25.219
outside of your shop, but the poster outside your shop. Yes.
71
00:03:25.780 --> 00:03:28.409
Needs a home. It's a puppy. So cute. So cute.
72
00:03:28.469 --> 00:03:33.250
Named Greta. Whatever. And then that whole back and forth
73
00:03:33.449 --> 00:03:36.680
with her quote unquote foster mother at the time. And
74
00:03:36.740 --> 00:03:40.240
I had... Yeah, we already talked about this. But, you know,
75
00:03:40.300 --> 00:03:42.699
got all the things ready. And then was like, oh,
76
00:03:42.879 --> 00:03:45.060
so I don't get a dog because the quote-unquote foster
77
00:03:45.080 --> 00:03:46.620
mother just wants to keep her? Yeah.
78
00:03:46.659 --> 00:03:49.740
Sounds like kidnapping. Right. Well, the biggest part of that
79
00:03:49.780 --> 00:03:52.800
that bothered me is there was no... I'm still on
80
00:03:52.819 --> 00:03:53.219
the fence.
81
00:03:53.960 --> 00:03:54.080
Yeah.
82
00:03:54.159 --> 00:03:58.599
I'm still thinking it over. Yeah. This is tentative.
83
00:03:58.759 --> 00:04:00.819
Yeah. Why did you make posters? Right.
84
00:04:01.240 --> 00:04:02.780
The posters that were up for a long time.
85
00:04:02.800 --> 00:04:03.060
Yeah.
86
00:04:03.379 --> 00:04:06.250
You know, and why didn't you say... You know, I'm
87
00:04:06.550 --> 00:04:10.370
thinking about keeping her, anything, instead of waiting until an
88
00:04:10.530 --> 00:04:12.789
hour before we were supposed to meet with her. I know.
89
00:04:13.060 --> 00:04:14.939
To go, uh... Yeah, yeah, yeah.
90
00:04:15.520 --> 00:04:16.060
Changing my mind.
91
00:04:16.160 --> 00:04:20.259
Bitch, drama crazy. Well, and we had bought puppy food.
92
00:04:20.560 --> 00:04:24.139
We had bought, you know, a crate, toys. We bought
93
00:04:24.160 --> 00:04:25.560
all this stuff for a puppy, and then.
94
00:04:25.920 --> 00:04:26.660
And then no puppy.
95
00:04:26.779 --> 00:04:29.699
Yeah. Like, the day, the hour before, you're right. I
96
00:04:29.720 --> 00:04:32.610
was just like, wow, damn. And you know what? I
97
00:04:32.649 --> 00:04:34.129
didn't want that bitch to come to my house anyway,
98
00:04:34.149 --> 00:04:35.370
because that was the thing, right? She was like, well,
99
00:04:35.389 --> 00:04:36.689
I need to see where they're going to be living.
100
00:04:36.740 --> 00:04:39.639
And I'm like, don't come to my home. No. I
101
00:04:39.660 --> 00:04:41.939
get why people do that, but I'm also like, you
102
00:04:41.980 --> 00:04:44.300
don't know me. I don't know you. You're going to
103
00:04:44.319 --> 00:04:45.459
look at my house and be like, you can't have
104
00:04:45.480 --> 00:04:47.500
this dog because you're a Satan worshiper. You know what
105
00:04:47.519 --> 00:04:47.860
I mean?
106
00:04:47.990 --> 00:04:53.829
Well, you need them for your rituals and whatever. Yeah,
107
00:04:53.870 --> 00:04:55.649
I know. I get it. Yeah.
108
00:04:56.029 --> 00:04:56.709
All right.
109
00:04:56.769 --> 00:04:59.470
Well, welcome to another week of It Would Seem As Though,
110
00:04:59.509 --> 00:05:02.009
the podcast where we talk about anything, everything, and nothing.
111
00:05:02.069 --> 00:05:04.230
Mostly nothing. I am Vesta.
112
00:05:04.310 --> 00:05:05.750
And I am Annika.
113
00:05:06.149 --> 00:05:07.009
And it is raining.
114
00:05:07.709 --> 00:05:11.430
I am obsessed, bitch. I'm so glad it's raining.
115
00:05:11.680 --> 00:05:13.480
I am fine with the rain. I don't like it
116
00:05:13.540 --> 00:05:13.980
on my hair.
117
00:05:14.310 --> 00:05:14.620
Sure.
118
00:05:14.689 --> 00:05:18.180
And I was outside with no umbrella because carrying all
119
00:05:18.199 --> 00:05:21.360
of my crap over here as an umbrella.
120
00:05:20.819 --> 00:05:21.699
Is not really going to work.
121
00:05:21.720 --> 00:05:25.279
Again, it was more important to me to... securely have
122
00:05:25.339 --> 00:05:27.000
my stuff in my hands and my coffee.
123
00:05:27.060 --> 00:05:27.480
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
124
00:05:27.540 --> 00:05:29.699
Then, then my hair gets wet. I'm not going anywhere today.
125
00:05:29.740 --> 00:05:31.600
Who cares? My hair will be a little damp.
126
00:05:31.759 --> 00:05:32.800
Yeah. It'll dry. Yeah.
127
00:05:33.379 --> 00:05:35.300
You know, it's not like I'm going to the, the
128
00:05:35.339 --> 00:05:36.310
prom tonight.
129
00:05:36.319 --> 00:05:36.759
Yeah.
130
00:05:36.810 --> 00:05:40.389
The Met Gala. The Met Gala or what? I, I
131
00:05:40.769 --> 00:05:42.449
know I usually save these for the end, but I
132
00:05:42.490 --> 00:05:46.430
just read this, uh, Am I the Jerk? And it's like,
133
00:05:47.870 --> 00:05:49.870
because we were talking about weddings, Met Gala, getting all,
134
00:05:50.709 --> 00:05:52.990
this just, and this really spoke to me because it's
135
00:05:53.110 --> 00:05:59.250
funny to me how people ask things of you and
136
00:05:59.269 --> 00:06:01.470
then treat you poorly, but still expect that you're going
137
00:06:01.490 --> 00:06:02.490
to do whatever for them.
138
00:06:02.810 --> 00:06:03.089
Yeah.
139
00:06:03.470 --> 00:06:07.189
I don't understand that dynamic because if I was, you know,
140
00:06:07.370 --> 00:06:10.379
actively being shitty to you, I was certainly not going
141
00:06:10.399 --> 00:06:14.100
to ask you for anything, you know, but that's me now.
142
00:06:14.259 --> 00:06:16.339
So am I the jerk for not letting my sister
143
00:06:16.420 --> 00:06:19.220
use my apartment to get ready after she told me
144
00:06:19.560 --> 00:06:22.370
not to come to her wedding? See, that's all I
145
00:06:22.399 --> 00:06:24.310
need to know. It's like, no.
146
00:06:24.689 --> 00:06:29.180
No, So your sister wants to use your apartment to
147
00:06:29.199 --> 00:06:30.740
get ready for her wedding or whatever.
148
00:06:31.019 --> 00:06:31.759
But you're not invited.
149
00:06:31.790 --> 00:06:33.850
But you're not invited. No.
150
00:06:34.129 --> 00:06:37.329
Specifically, well, I'll read it. Invited, but then told not
151
00:06:37.350 --> 00:06:41.750
to come. My sister's getting married soon. A while back
152
00:06:41.970 --> 00:06:45.279
asked if her and the bridesmaids could get ready in
153
00:06:45.300 --> 00:06:47.720
my apartment. I live really close to the venue and
154
00:06:47.740 --> 00:06:51.759
their bridal suite costs extra. So I said, sure. The
155
00:06:51.879 --> 00:06:54.240
problem is my sister and my girlfriend have never really
156
00:06:54.279 --> 00:06:58.360
gotten along. Nothing huge happened between them. Just years of
157
00:06:58.379 --> 00:07:00.740
little comments and arguments, and they basically avoid.
158
00:07:00.540 --> 00:07:01.680
Each other now. Okay.
159
00:07:01.939 --> 00:07:04.459
Which I say, that's a grown way to handle things.
160
00:07:04.480 --> 00:07:08.399
Just avoid each other. Avoid the trouble. A couple weeks ago,
161
00:07:08.959 --> 00:07:10.810
my sister told me she didn't want my girlfriend at
162
00:07:10.850 --> 00:07:14.490
the wedding because she didn't want any tension there. We've
163
00:07:14.509 --> 00:07:16.470
been together for almost four years, so I told her
164
00:07:16.509 --> 00:07:18.970
I wasn't comfortable going to a family wedding where my
165
00:07:19.029 --> 00:07:20.750
partner was specifically excluded.
166
00:07:20.769 --> 00:07:22.209
Yeah, I know. Fuck that. Fuck that.
167
00:07:22.930 --> 00:07:25.129
It turned into a pretty bad argument, and eventually my
168
00:07:25.170 --> 00:07:27.029
sister said, if that's how I feel, then I shouldn't
169
00:07:27.069 --> 00:07:31.430
come either. So I told her, okay. But then she
170
00:07:31.750 --> 00:07:33.910
would also need to find somewhere else to get ready.
171
00:07:34.649 --> 00:07:38.699
Sounds reasonable to me. Apparently, she thought those were two
172
00:07:38.740 --> 00:07:42.259
completely separate things. She still expected to come to my
173
00:07:42.300 --> 00:07:45.160
apartment at 7 a.m. with the bridesmaids, photographer, and makeup
174
00:07:45.180 --> 00:07:48.250
artist while I just made myself scarce for the day. No.
175
00:07:49.149 --> 00:07:49.350
No.
176
00:07:49.589 --> 00:07:52.519
No. My parents are saying that I should just let
177
00:07:52.540 --> 00:07:54.860
her use it because I already agreed months ago. And
178
00:07:54.899 --> 00:07:59.100
changing plans this close to the wedding is petty. I
179
00:07:59.120 --> 00:08:02.339
always think it's interesting that it's petty when it's something
180
00:08:02.360 --> 00:08:06.360
that doesn't affect you. And it's like one person is being,
181
00:08:06.379 --> 00:08:09.100
I think, kind of an asshole. And the other person's like, well,
182
00:08:09.139 --> 00:08:10.810
these are the consequences of being an asshole.
183
00:08:10.870 --> 00:08:14.209
Yeah. Well, girl, and petty, I love a good petty
184
00:08:14.250 --> 00:08:18.290
because it means that someone did something and you're doing
185
00:08:18.329 --> 00:08:22.459
something in retaliation. I... Love a good petty bitch.
186
00:08:22.980 --> 00:08:23.319
Oh, yeah.
187
00:08:23.459 --> 00:08:24.160
Laura, yeah.
188
00:08:24.240 --> 00:08:26.180
So it just says, the last line is, I just
189
00:08:26.199 --> 00:08:28.939
find it weird that I'm not wanted, but my apartment
190
00:08:28.980 --> 00:08:33.100
apparently still is. No. No, I'm sorry. If you're going
191
00:08:33.159 --> 00:08:36.000
to be shitty to me and my partner.
192
00:08:36.220 --> 00:08:37.759
Of four years. Yeah.
193
00:08:37.980 --> 00:08:40.139
If y'all had been dating for three months, I'd be like, yeah,
194
00:08:40.210 --> 00:08:42.509
I'd rather your plus one wasn't somebody you barely know.
195
00:08:42.710 --> 00:08:43.190
Yeah, sure.
196
00:08:44.509 --> 00:08:46.950
But if I already gave you a plus one, then
197
00:08:46.970 --> 00:08:47.990
I probably wouldn't give a shit.
198
00:08:48.809 --> 00:08:50.830
That's the thing. How many people.
199
00:08:52.720 --> 00:08:54.440
In our family alone that we can think of. Just
200
00:08:54.559 --> 00:08:57.840
people in general, you know, who have shitty partners. And
201
00:08:57.860 --> 00:08:59.860
you've had to endure holidays.
202
00:09:00.179 --> 00:09:03.690
Events, whatever, right? Like, I don't know. Well, I can
203
00:09:03.710 --> 00:09:05.110
think of some prime examples, but yes.
204
00:09:05.129 --> 00:09:07.210
I can think of... First of all, let's just... Let's
205
00:09:07.250 --> 00:09:09.169
go back to the... Let's go back to the future.
206
00:09:09.190 --> 00:09:11.029
Let's go back to the past.
207
00:09:11.049 --> 00:09:11.970
All right, Michael J. Fox.
208
00:09:13.830 --> 00:09:17.700
But your sister, my aunt, Tracy....
209
00:09:18.669 --> 00:09:19.500
God rest her soul.
210
00:09:19.509 --> 00:09:24.929
Yeah. Every... husband, partner she had was a piece of
211
00:09:24.990 --> 00:09:27.490
shit in a different way. There was one guy who
212
00:09:27.509 --> 00:09:29.909
was sweet, and that was it, out of all of them.
213
00:09:30.000 --> 00:09:33.200
And she was a serial monogamist, which we all kind
214
00:09:33.220 --> 00:09:35.720
of are, right? Like, we all are like, oh, I
215
00:09:35.779 --> 00:09:38.299
can't not be in a relationship. It's really hard for me.
216
00:09:39.360 --> 00:09:44.840
Being single is weird. But she dated dud after dud
217
00:09:44.879 --> 00:09:49.600
after dud after piece of shit. And we still... spent
218
00:09:49.720 --> 00:09:53.039
holidays with them or they came to weddings or whatever
219
00:09:53.059 --> 00:09:56.090
and it was like a non-issue because I also guess
220
00:09:56.110 --> 00:09:59.610
like when you're you're you know the matriarch of the
221
00:09:59.649 --> 00:10:02.580
family has six children who are all grown it's not
222
00:10:02.600 --> 00:10:04.639
like you're going to dictate who can and cannot come
223
00:10:04.700 --> 00:10:07.960
around right i mean right unless that like and listen
224
00:10:07.980 --> 00:10:11.559
there are caveats to that if that person is actively
225
00:10:11.600 --> 00:10:14.320
being abusive abusive if that person is you know like
226
00:10:14.440 --> 00:10:17.740
a predator if that there's reasons to not have them
227
00:10:17.799 --> 00:10:19.259
right Yes, because.
228
00:10:19.139 --> 00:10:23.539
I specifically remember, and I'm racking my brain to remember
229
00:10:23.580 --> 00:10:26.970
who it was, but somebody was told specifically they couldn't
230
00:10:27.029 --> 00:10:30.090
come to the house because they were abusive. I want
231
00:10:30.110 --> 00:10:33.480
to say it was your sister's boyfriend, but I don't
232
00:10:33.509 --> 00:10:36.659
remember and it doesn't matter, but they were specifically excluded
233
00:10:37.100 --> 00:10:38.340
because of their behavior.
234
00:10:38.379 --> 00:10:40.980
Because of reasons, right? Yes, it wasn't just I'm mad
235
00:10:41.000 --> 00:10:43.799
at you. Or I just, we just don't vibe and
236
00:10:43.820 --> 00:10:46.480
I don't want any attention. But have you guys ever fought? Like,
237
00:10:46.500 --> 00:10:47.559
and here's the thing.
238
00:10:47.580 --> 00:10:48.279
I get it.
239
00:10:48.419 --> 00:10:52.500
Fine. You don't like each other. I don't think everything
240
00:10:52.539 --> 00:10:56.509
needs to be a conversation. Right. Genuinely. Because like, if you,
241
00:10:57.409 --> 00:11:01.169
this girlfriend is essentially married into this family. Right. Right.
242
00:11:01.370 --> 00:11:03.669
Who cares if she likes her sister or not? She's not,
243
00:11:03.970 --> 00:11:04.409
you know what I mean?
244
00:11:04.429 --> 00:11:05.700
She's not dating her sister. Not marrying her.
245
00:11:05.929 --> 00:11:07.769
It doesn't hang out with her. Who cares? And they
246
00:11:07.809 --> 00:11:10.269
don't need to hash it out. Right. Because that could
247
00:11:10.330 --> 00:11:14.879
create an uncomfortable situation between girlfriend who married in and
248
00:11:14.919 --> 00:11:18.480
her partner because that's his family. Right. Right. So it
249
00:11:18.519 --> 00:11:20.759
could be a really, but like to be like, I
250
00:11:20.799 --> 00:11:24.139
don't want four years. That's like somebody I care about.
251
00:11:25.490 --> 00:11:27.850
None of my siblings, but somebody I care about being like,
252
00:11:28.110 --> 00:11:29.409
you're coming to my wedding and you want you to
253
00:11:29.429 --> 00:11:33.750
my wedding. Can I use your house? Which yes. Right.
254
00:11:33.809 --> 00:11:35.929
If it was like Sarah, right. If it was my
255
00:11:35.980 --> 00:11:38.590
good Sarah or somebody. That I loved. And they were like,
256
00:11:38.610 --> 00:11:40.870
can I use your house? Blah, blah, blah. Also, Gavin's
257
00:11:40.889 --> 00:11:42.990
not invited. And Gavin and I have been together for
258
00:11:43.110 --> 00:11:47.049
four years in November. I would be like, no. First
259
00:11:47.090 --> 00:11:51.049
of all, what? Unless it was like, we're all going
260
00:11:51.110 --> 00:11:53.990
to do this girls thing. And then that would be
261
00:11:54.009 --> 00:11:57.610
fine to me. But like, no.
262
00:11:57.629 --> 00:12:00.580
Well, yes, if it made sense for him to not
263
00:12:00.620 --> 00:12:00.879
be invited.
264
00:12:00.889 --> 00:12:01.409
Contextually.
265
00:12:01.649 --> 00:12:05.659
We're going, yeah, we're going on a girls little spot. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Or, yeah.
266
00:12:06.049 --> 00:12:08.250
But to be like, you're invited to my wedding, but
267
00:12:09.169 --> 00:12:10.509
your husband or boyfriend is not.
268
00:12:10.570 --> 00:12:13.389
Yeah, he can't come. No. Which no one would say that.
269
00:12:13.490 --> 00:12:15.610
People would probably invite him and tell me I couldn't come.
270
00:12:15.809 --> 00:12:17.559
That sounds more likely. He's nicer than you.
271
00:12:17.570 --> 00:12:19.549
Yeah, my family would invite him and say, but could
272
00:12:19.570 --> 00:12:22.759
you leave Annika at home? Right. If you just happen
273
00:12:22.820 --> 00:12:25.559
to leave and forget her, that's okay. Yeah, just say
274
00:12:25.580 --> 00:12:28.190
you're going out for a pack of smokes. Don't come back.
275
00:12:28.389 --> 00:12:29.649
Never return.
276
00:12:30.029 --> 00:12:32.210
Return hours and hours later with, you know, a slice
277
00:12:32.269 --> 00:12:33.009
of wedding cake.
278
00:12:33.149 --> 00:12:33.450
Yeah.
279
00:12:33.990 --> 00:12:35.549
Oh. I got it at Safeway.
280
00:12:35.590 --> 00:12:37.830
Yeah. Don't read it.
281
00:12:38.649 --> 00:12:44.480
Right. You know, the year that I decided to set
282
00:12:44.509 --> 00:12:45.700
boundaries with my family.
283
00:12:45.720 --> 00:12:46.659
Yeah.
284
00:12:47.159 --> 00:12:52.059
Because they're assholes. That just happened to also be a
285
00:12:52.080 --> 00:12:53.879
year where folks were getting married.
286
00:12:53.899 --> 00:12:56.080
And so....
287
00:12:56.120 --> 00:12:58.159
One of them I had gotten to save the date for.
288
00:12:58.340 --> 00:13:00.100
What year was this?
289
00:13:00.100 --> 00:13:04.539
2000... I'm going to say, because I got married in 2003. Okay.
290
00:13:05.899 --> 00:13:11.029
And we moved to this house in 2000... January 2007. Seven?
291
00:13:11.370 --> 00:13:11.710
Seven.
292
00:13:11.950 --> 00:13:14.570
So we were in that house for, I think, three years.
293
00:13:14.889 --> 00:13:15.129
Wow.
294
00:13:15.269 --> 00:13:16.870
So it was somewhere in that three-year span.
295
00:13:16.889 --> 00:13:17.690
Okay.
296
00:13:17.730 --> 00:13:19.120
But I think it... I want to say it was
297
00:13:19.129 --> 00:13:19.269
like 2004.
298
00:13:19.250 --> 00:13:19.509
Okay. Because.
299
00:13:21.600 --> 00:13:24.980
We invited the family. Short story. We invited my family
300
00:13:25.059 --> 00:13:28.620
to my house for Christmas. And Christmas was never at
301
00:13:28.639 --> 00:13:30.860
my house. It was always all the way out in Carleton.
302
00:13:31.000 --> 00:13:31.159
Yeah.
303
00:13:31.539 --> 00:13:33.370
And so we always had to drive at least an
304
00:13:33.399 --> 00:13:36.470
hour to get to Christmas. And nobody else did. Well,
305
00:13:36.500 --> 00:13:39.190
except my one brother. But everyone else lived out there.
306
00:13:39.210 --> 00:13:39.789
Right.
307
00:13:40.750 --> 00:13:42.289
And so I was like, can we please just do
308
00:13:42.309 --> 00:13:43.950
it at my house one time? I have a big
309
00:13:43.970 --> 00:13:44.490
enough house.
310
00:13:44.809 --> 00:13:45.090
Yeah.
311
00:13:45.370 --> 00:13:48.399
You know, because my mother's little teeny tiny house. Was
312
00:13:48.419 --> 00:13:49.320
a shoebox.
313
00:13:49.440 --> 00:13:52.419
We were bringing in like outside furniture inside, you know?
314
00:13:52.700 --> 00:13:54.940
Well, I mean, her whole house, if you counted every
315
00:13:54.980 --> 00:13:57.559
bit of it, was a thousand square feet on the
316
00:13:57.580 --> 00:14:00.659
main floor. And where do you put 24 people or
317
00:14:00.720 --> 00:14:01.610
how many would show up?
318
00:14:01.919 --> 00:14:02.230
Anyway.
319
00:14:02.250 --> 00:14:06.570
So my family comes to my house and none of
320
00:14:06.610 --> 00:14:10.570
them are particularly warm. No. But none of them spoke
321
00:14:10.610 --> 00:14:13.610
to my husband at all in his own home. And so...
322
00:14:14.120 --> 00:14:15.720
I set a boundary and I was like, no, this is,
323
00:14:15.960 --> 00:14:17.659
you know, you guys have talked shit about me and
324
00:14:17.679 --> 00:14:19.379
to me for years, but my husband?
325
00:14:19.519 --> 00:14:23.029
No. Well, it's because everyone had an issue. Well, for
326
00:14:23.049 --> 00:14:26.190
whatever reason, everyone felt had some problem because of like
327
00:14:26.570 --> 00:14:27.490
your age difference.
328
00:14:27.590 --> 00:14:27.830
Right.
329
00:14:27.929 --> 00:14:28.690
That was the issue.
330
00:14:28.710 --> 00:14:31.590
Because everybody decided they needed to have us take a
331
00:14:31.629 --> 00:14:35.470
stand on my marriage. Yeah. The age difference between me
332
00:14:35.509 --> 00:14:38.169
and my husband, which is considerable, but he was not
333
00:14:38.190 --> 00:14:38.870
like he was a kid.
334
00:14:38.909 --> 00:14:41.090
He was a grown man. You know, he was 21
335
00:14:41.090 --> 00:14:43.210
when I met him. But also, why do they care?
336
00:14:43.230 --> 00:14:44.970
Well, that's the bigger thing. Why do you care?
337
00:14:45.409 --> 00:14:48.570
Also, the other thing I want to say about them
338
00:14:48.789 --> 00:14:52.559
is a good portion of your siblings have been fucking
339
00:14:52.600 --> 00:14:58.460
weirdos in life, have been actual grown people, right? Like
340
00:14:59.240 --> 00:15:03.220
adults my age dating teenagers, right? Like, yeah. Let's keep
341
00:15:03.240 --> 00:15:04.860
it very fucking real. Right.
342
00:15:05.259 --> 00:15:08.129
Well, and so I set a boundary and said, I
343
00:15:08.230 --> 00:15:09.769
just need to take a break from the family. I
344
00:15:09.809 --> 00:15:11.049
won't be coming to family things.
345
00:15:11.090 --> 00:15:11.309
Yeah.
346
00:15:11.570 --> 00:15:13.289
Because I don't like the way you treat my husband.
347
00:15:13.309 --> 00:15:14.350
I don't like the way you treat me. And I
348
00:15:14.409 --> 00:15:15.730
never liked the way you treated me.
349
00:15:15.750 --> 00:15:16.309
Yeah.
350
00:15:16.509 --> 00:15:19.990
But, you know, I fell into her so many years
351
00:15:20.009 --> 00:15:22.750
to that whole family is family bullshit. And you put
352
00:15:22.809 --> 00:15:24.720
up with family because they're your family and you don't
353
00:15:24.740 --> 00:15:25.220
have a choice.
354
00:15:25.820 --> 00:15:26.600
Quack. Yeah.
355
00:15:27.000 --> 00:15:29.220
And I had gotten to a point where I was like, no.
356
00:15:29.710 --> 00:15:30.009
Oh, my God.
357
00:15:30.070 --> 00:15:32.429
This is not the case anymore. I don't believe that
358
00:15:32.470 --> 00:15:35.120
to be true. I no longer believe you have to
359
00:15:35.159 --> 00:15:38.419
love someone because they're related to you. You know, and so, whatever.
360
00:15:38.440 --> 00:15:38.960
Yeah.
361
00:15:39.039 --> 00:15:43.539
But that was the year that I had already gotten
362
00:15:43.559 --> 00:15:46.639
a save the date for a wedding for my niece.
363
00:15:46.840 --> 00:15:47.120
Yeah.
364
00:15:47.679 --> 00:15:50.740
And then this happened, and so I was not, I
365
00:15:50.799 --> 00:15:51.919
never received an invitation.
366
00:15:51.940 --> 00:15:53.350
Sure.
367
00:15:54.230 --> 00:15:58.029
But I did send her, however, a congratulations card. I
368
00:15:58.049 --> 00:15:58.950
didn't send her a gift.
369
00:15:58.970 --> 00:15:59.250
Yeah.
370
00:15:59.389 --> 00:16:00.799
Because you didn't invite me to your wedding.
371
00:16:00.860 --> 00:16:01.259
Yeah.
372
00:16:01.879 --> 00:16:03.220
And I am petty.
373
00:16:03.700 --> 00:16:03.879
Yeah.
374
00:16:03.980 --> 00:16:05.639
If you didn't invite me to your wedding or at
375
00:16:05.679 --> 00:16:07.879
least say, you know, this is when we're getting married.
376
00:16:08.019 --> 00:16:11.090
I'm only inviting 10 people. Sure. But I would like
377
00:16:11.110 --> 00:16:13.379
you to just... I want you to have the invitation to...
378
00:16:13.710 --> 00:16:14.990
That's great. I want you to send me a gift.
379
00:16:15.009 --> 00:16:17.409
I will happily buy you a gift. Yeah. But if
380
00:16:17.450 --> 00:16:22.500
you specifically exclude me... Yeah. You know, so even sending
381
00:16:22.539 --> 00:16:25.129
her a card, I didn't... kind of to be petty
382
00:16:25.169 --> 00:16:28.490
i sent her a little congratulatory card with no no
383
00:16:28.529 --> 00:16:31.110
money no check no nothing in it because like i
384
00:16:31.149 --> 00:16:35.669
wasn't invited so whatever but that also uh two other
385
00:16:35.710 --> 00:16:39.789
weddings happened that uh three other weddings i don't know
386
00:16:39.830 --> 00:16:40.860
but i didn't go to any of them because i
387
00:16:40.860 --> 00:16:42.169
wasn't invited wait.
388
00:16:42.200 --> 00:16:44.759
But during that time is when my sister got married
389
00:16:45.960 --> 00:16:46.820
oh oh my.
390
00:16:46.759 --> 00:16:49.080
God that was a whole nother thing so i'm going
391
00:16:49.100 --> 00:16:51.059
to tell you this kooky story have we ever talked
392
00:16:51.080 --> 00:16:55.379
about this on here I don't know. I don't remember. So, uh,
393
00:16:56.700 --> 00:16:58.100
I will, I'm going to get back to that in
394
00:16:58.139 --> 00:17:02.659
just a second. But yeah, all those weddings, not invited.
395
00:17:02.679 --> 00:17:03.360
Yeah.
396
00:17:03.500 --> 00:17:05.740
Because I said, I don't want to be around drama.
397
00:17:06.000 --> 00:17:07.420
Sure. Okay.
398
00:17:07.740 --> 00:17:12.430
So Annika's sister asked me specifically if I would come
399
00:17:12.470 --> 00:17:16.009
to her wedding. Yeah. I was like, yes.
400
00:17:16.089 --> 00:17:18.150
Growing up, we were always at your house.
401
00:17:18.210 --> 00:17:18.470
Yes.
402
00:17:18.670 --> 00:17:19.109
Like, yeah.
403
00:17:19.569 --> 00:17:21.089
But she said, you know, I know there's all this
404
00:17:21.130 --> 00:17:23.369
family drama going on. I don't care. I want you
405
00:17:23.410 --> 00:17:29.779
at my wedding. Great. Well, then her father said to
406
00:17:29.880 --> 00:17:32.480
her that if I came to the wedding, he would
407
00:17:32.519 --> 00:17:34.160
not walk her down the aisle and he would not go.
408
00:17:34.180 --> 00:17:34.250
Yep.
409
00:17:35.279 --> 00:17:36.819
And it's like, I, and by the way, I didn't
410
00:17:36.900 --> 00:17:39.720
do anything to him. No. I just said, I need
411
00:17:40.019 --> 00:17:41.079
space away from the family.
412
00:17:41.400 --> 00:17:43.650
It was literally like when they got mad, it was
413
00:17:43.670 --> 00:17:46.630
like a front for some reason. They all then became
414
00:17:46.690 --> 00:17:47.710
like aligned.
415
00:17:47.990 --> 00:17:48.109
Right.
416
00:17:48.130 --> 00:17:50.349
Which none of them ever were aligned.
417
00:17:50.109 --> 00:17:51.750
On literally anything. No, no, no, no. And it's like,
418
00:17:51.869 --> 00:17:54.660
I could understand if I had ranted and raved and
419
00:17:54.700 --> 00:17:56.500
called them all names and acted like an asshole, but
420
00:17:56.539 --> 00:17:59.039
I just said, I need space. I will not be
421
00:17:59.079 --> 00:17:59.740
at things for a while.
422
00:17:59.960 --> 00:18:02.279
I think what you did, though, was give specific examples
423
00:18:02.319 --> 00:18:02.869
of how people.
424
00:18:02.880 --> 00:18:03.200
Oh, yeah.
425
00:18:03.609 --> 00:18:04.849
And they were like.
426
00:18:04.869 --> 00:18:06.349
Well, and don't only like to be called out on
427
00:18:06.369 --> 00:18:06.750
their shit.
428
00:18:06.769 --> 00:18:08.250
No. No.
429
00:18:08.710 --> 00:18:13.430
You're right. You are right. But anyway, so I told Ashley,
430
00:18:13.470 --> 00:18:14.819
I was like, I'll be there.
431
00:18:14.839 --> 00:18:15.220
Yeah.
432
00:18:15.339 --> 00:18:18.740
You know, whatever. And, but I will not, just don't
433
00:18:18.779 --> 00:18:19.519
tell anybody I'm coming.
434
00:18:19.680 --> 00:18:19.880
Yeah.
435
00:18:20.359 --> 00:18:23.660
And so what I did, this is so ridiculous.
436
00:18:23.980 --> 00:18:25.089
It is so funny to me.
437
00:18:25.140 --> 00:18:27.869
Yes. I was outside of the wedding. It was an
438
00:18:27.930 --> 00:18:30.960
outdoor wedding. I was outside and one of my friends
439
00:18:31.000 --> 00:18:34.799
had come with me as my plus one. And she said,
440
00:18:34.859 --> 00:18:37.359
what I'm going to do is as soon as he
441
00:18:37.440 --> 00:18:40.769
walks her to the front, I will text you real quick.
442
00:18:40.900 --> 00:18:41.069
Yeah.
443
00:18:42.109 --> 00:18:44.089
And you can then come in. Because what's he going
444
00:18:44.109 --> 00:18:45.670
to do? Unwalk her? I don't know.
445
00:18:45.710 --> 00:18:47.369
Drag her back down. Drag her back down the aisle
446
00:18:47.390 --> 00:18:49.230
and go, you're on your own. Yeah. No.
447
00:18:49.589 --> 00:18:53.650
So that's exactly what happened. And oh my God, the people,
448
00:18:53.710 --> 00:18:56.170
you would have sworn that I was some criminal on
449
00:18:56.190 --> 00:18:58.069
the run, the way they all talked to me and
450
00:18:58.089 --> 00:18:59.289
looked at, or didn't talk to me.
451
00:18:59.289 --> 00:19:00.990
It's like you walked in and shot everybody.
452
00:19:01.049 --> 00:19:03.529
Right. I was like, walked in and pissed on the
453
00:19:03.569 --> 00:19:06.859
wedding cake. Honestly, it looked like I had done, you know,
454
00:19:06.990 --> 00:19:10.420
the way they treated me. And what was interesting is I, uh,
455
00:19:11.559 --> 00:19:15.640
I sometimes I'm a little slow to realize kind of
456
00:19:15.700 --> 00:19:17.279
what's going on, what the vibe is.
457
00:19:17.339 --> 00:19:17.859
Right.
458
00:19:18.019 --> 00:19:20.609
And I was talking to my nieces and, And it
459
00:19:20.630 --> 00:19:22.549
was like, oh my gosh, I understand you're doing this now.
460
00:19:22.809 --> 00:19:28.019
And only all I got from that was like little grunts. Like, yeah. No.
461
00:19:28.859 --> 00:19:30.920
And I actually said... I was like, oh, I'm sorry.
462
00:19:30.940 --> 00:19:33.619
I didn't realize you weren't speaking to me. Yeah. Sorry.
463
00:19:33.640 --> 00:19:35.980
I'm a little slow on the uptake here.
464
00:19:36.279 --> 00:19:36.480
Yeah.
465
00:19:36.539 --> 00:19:39.200
And I actually said this to them. Yeah. I was like, oh,
466
00:19:39.329 --> 00:19:40.809
I didn't pick up on the fact that you're not
467
00:19:40.869 --> 00:19:43.789
speaking to me. So, okay. I will end this conversation.
468
00:19:43.829 --> 00:19:44.490
And I walked away.
469
00:19:44.509 --> 00:19:46.130
I'm the biggest loser ever. It was like.
470
00:19:46.150 --> 00:19:48.069
That was so fucking stupid.
471
00:19:48.289 --> 00:19:48.990
Yeah. You know?
472
00:19:49.410 --> 00:19:49.769
And again.
473
00:19:49.809 --> 00:19:49.859
I.
474
00:19:50.470 --> 00:19:50.819
Whatever.
475
00:19:50.839 --> 00:19:53.160
But it's just. They were giving you the space you
476
00:19:53.279 --> 00:19:54.079
asked for.
477
00:19:54.339 --> 00:19:54.859
Apparently.
478
00:19:54.880 --> 00:19:55.359
Yeah.
479
00:19:55.640 --> 00:19:57.680
You know. But whatever. It was just so dumb.
480
00:19:57.700 --> 00:20:00.799
Mm-hmm. And it's funny though. Because this time period of
481
00:20:00.839 --> 00:20:04.200
my life. Yeah. If you wrote it in 2004. I
482
00:20:04.200 --> 00:20:10.990
was 15. Okay. So. Annika. Yeah. on the island of Annika,
483
00:20:11.609 --> 00:20:14.630
in the middle of the country, imagine being a blue
484
00:20:14.670 --> 00:20:18.430
dot in the middle of the Red Sea. Like, I
485
00:20:19.569 --> 00:20:21.750
lived with Grandma, who was the matriarch, so you wrote
486
00:20:21.769 --> 00:20:25.509
this letter, and then it was like a bombardment, right,
487
00:20:25.529 --> 00:20:28.029
of everyone calling Grandma and people coming over and everyone
488
00:20:28.069 --> 00:20:32.569
discussing it. And I remember just being, you know, listening
489
00:20:32.609 --> 00:20:35.730
in the shadows with my arms crossed, like, yeah, fuck
490
00:20:35.809 --> 00:20:39.160
you people, mm, mad, like, Obviously, listening to them rant
491
00:20:39.180 --> 00:20:41.430
and rave about how, like, you're being so unfair or whatever.
492
00:20:41.849 --> 00:20:47.390
And I, obviously, never on their side. Always on your side. Was, like,
493
00:20:47.470 --> 00:20:50.690
from the shadows, fist up in the air. Like, you
494
00:20:50.750 --> 00:20:52.990
hear the Mockingjay song from.
495
00:20:53.029 --> 00:20:53.579
Little Whistle.
496
00:20:54.119 --> 00:20:58.440
Yeah, it's wonderful. But, I mean, like, your youngest brother
497
00:20:58.480 --> 00:21:03.420
came over to Grandma's house and was like, she's not wrong, right? Like,
498
00:21:03.460 --> 00:21:06.599
about what you wrote in the letter. And Grandma... Because
499
00:21:06.619 --> 00:21:07.380
Grandma was pissed.
500
00:21:08.170 --> 00:21:08.569
Oh yeah.
501
00:21:08.609 --> 00:21:10.089
She was big mad about it. And it, cause I
502
00:21:10.089 --> 00:21:12.910
remember you wrote when it, when it arrived in the mail,
503
00:21:14.769 --> 00:21:18.250
I went to get in the car. It was like,
504
00:21:18.509 --> 00:21:20.549
grandma picked me up from school or it was like
505
00:21:20.589 --> 00:21:23.289
the next morning taking me to school. And I opened
506
00:21:23.410 --> 00:21:25.710
the passenger seat and the letter you had sent her
507
00:21:26.069 --> 00:21:28.210
was like ripped up in the passenger seat. Like she
508
00:21:28.230 --> 00:21:30.390
had read it, ripped it up and didn't clean it up.
509
00:21:30.819 --> 00:21:33.740
And I was like, I wanted to read that, uh,
510
00:21:33.819 --> 00:21:37.650
you know, like annoyed. Um, She was pissed about it, though,
511
00:21:37.789 --> 00:21:41.329
because you were breaking up the family.
512
00:21:41.390 --> 00:21:44.109
Well, and people don't like boundaries.
513
00:21:44.289 --> 00:21:44.490
No.
514
00:21:45.309 --> 00:21:47.829
No, no, no. People don't like when you give them
515
00:21:47.869 --> 00:21:50.210
a hard boundary and they can't push up against it and,
516
00:21:50.670 --> 00:21:52.890
you know, make you change your mind because they're going
517
00:21:52.910 --> 00:21:54.849
to make you feel guilty or whatever it is.
518
00:21:54.869 --> 00:21:55.269
Yeah.
519
00:21:55.470 --> 00:21:58.970
It's like, no, no. I am now a 40-year-old woman
520
00:21:59.059 --> 00:22:04.200
at this point. And I'm setting some boundaries where you
521
00:22:04.220 --> 00:22:07.150
can no longer treat me this way. Yeah. And they
522
00:22:07.190 --> 00:22:10.160
were big mad about it. And what's really funny is
523
00:22:10.220 --> 00:22:14.720
out of my entire gigantic family, one person who this affected,
524
00:22:14.799 --> 00:22:18.400
I guess, talked to me, which was my sister-in-law. And
525
00:22:18.480 --> 00:22:23.039
she was like, well, and she was mad, but wrote
526
00:22:23.079 --> 00:22:25.160
me back. It's like, well, you know, don't even come
527
00:22:25.180 --> 00:22:27.519
to us when you need something like I ever have.
528
00:22:28.079 --> 00:22:28.539
Yeah.
529
00:22:28.579 --> 00:22:30.339
I'm the only person that never moved back home.
530
00:22:30.559 --> 00:22:30.700
Yeah.
531
00:22:31.000 --> 00:22:34.279
I'm the only one who moved to Portland and said, bye.
532
00:22:34.319 --> 00:22:36.589
I'm not ever coming back. Yeah. You know, so what
533
00:22:36.609 --> 00:22:37.470
am I going to need from you?
534
00:22:37.490 --> 00:22:40.910
It is. Yeah. You know, it's, this is sidebar kind
535
00:22:40.970 --> 00:22:43.079
of the whole, well, don't come to us if you
536
00:22:43.119 --> 00:22:48.220
ever need anything. I have never felt that close to
537
00:22:48.359 --> 00:22:51.019
like anyone other than grandma and you and whatever, but
538
00:22:51.039 --> 00:22:53.619
like my other aunts and uncles, not really. And I
539
00:22:53.640 --> 00:22:55.099
spent a lot of time with them as a kid.
540
00:22:55.140 --> 00:22:55.339
Right.
541
00:22:55.400 --> 00:22:58.519
They were always like, it was like the Richardson's couple
542
00:22:58.539 --> 00:23:00.420
of years to babysit me. And then it was like,
543
00:23:00.599 --> 00:23:04.119
you know, whatever. Um, But like, I have cousins who
544
00:23:04.420 --> 00:23:07.279
in adult life have gone to some of, you know,
545
00:23:07.359 --> 00:23:10.940
our aunts and uncles for loans or to live with them.
546
00:23:11.000 --> 00:23:13.759
And I'm just like, I didn't know y'all were that close.
547
00:23:14.299 --> 00:23:15.980
I thought we all felt the same way about each other.
548
00:23:16.119 --> 00:23:17.140
You know what I mean? Right.
549
00:23:17.460 --> 00:23:17.680
Right.
550
00:23:17.720 --> 00:23:18.599
That's wild to me.
551
00:23:18.700 --> 00:23:20.539
Well, and I, first of all.
552
00:23:20.819 --> 00:23:21.039
Yeah.
553
00:23:22.549 --> 00:23:26.309
A large portion of our family, to quote my grandma,
554
00:23:26.349 --> 00:23:27.829
didn't have a pot to piss in or a window
555
00:23:27.869 --> 00:23:28.480
to throw it out of.
556
00:23:28.490 --> 00:23:28.990
Yeah. So.
557
00:23:29.460 --> 00:23:30.880
I wouldn't have asked them for anything anyway.
558
00:23:30.900 --> 00:23:31.180
Yeah.
559
00:23:31.359 --> 00:23:32.799
And I would have never asked my mother for anything
560
00:23:32.819 --> 00:23:33.880
because she didn't ever have anything.
561
00:23:33.920 --> 00:23:34.099
Yeah.
562
00:23:34.420 --> 00:23:36.640
You know, and I don't mean that in a judging way.
563
00:23:36.720 --> 00:23:37.480
It's just a fact.
564
00:23:37.579 --> 00:23:37.960
Yeah. Yeah.
565
00:23:38.039 --> 00:23:41.420
You know, it's like I grew up really poor. Most
566
00:23:41.480 --> 00:23:45.690
of us struggled financially for years and whatever. And it
567
00:23:45.769 --> 00:23:48.269
is what it is. But I can't imagine going to
568
00:23:48.509 --> 00:23:49.029
any of them.
569
00:23:49.349 --> 00:23:49.569
No.
570
00:23:49.849 --> 00:23:50.650
For anything.
571
00:23:50.990 --> 00:23:55.279
No. Yeah. Yeah. I, I, going back to those years, 2006,
572
00:23:55.259 --> 00:23:59.259
January of 2006. Yeah. is when I dropped out of
573
00:23:59.279 --> 00:24:02.500
high school and left DM Hill County. You know what
574
00:24:02.539 --> 00:24:05.410
I mean? So like you wrote this letter in 2004
575
00:24:05.400 --> 00:24:09.069
or whatever, and I was 15 and then on my
576
00:24:09.509 --> 00:24:12.049
17th birthday, I had dropped out of high school. You
577
00:24:12.069 --> 00:24:15.190
said deuces. Yeah. So I just think about how grandma
578
00:24:15.329 --> 00:24:17.369
had filed for custody of me and my sisters when
579
00:24:17.410 --> 00:24:22.569
I was like 12. Right. And then a couple of
580
00:24:22.589 --> 00:24:25.869
years after that, there was this big hullabaloo because you
581
00:24:26.349 --> 00:24:29.079
set boundaries with people. And a couple years after that,
582
00:24:29.160 --> 00:24:31.700
I said, I can't do this anymore. Because it was
583
00:24:31.720 --> 00:24:33.799
like a year after you had wrote the letter that
584
00:24:33.819 --> 00:24:35.240
I was like, I don't want to do this either.
585
00:24:35.420 --> 00:24:37.269
I don't want to go to events. I don't want
586
00:24:37.289 --> 00:24:38.869
to go to family functions. I don't want to see
587
00:24:38.900 --> 00:24:42.130
these people. Because I think the last one that I
588
00:24:42.190 --> 00:24:47.990
wanted to go to was at your youngest brother's house.
589
00:24:48.710 --> 00:24:51.609
And all of these bitches who were married in to
590
00:24:52.630 --> 00:24:56.269
the family were talking shit about my cousin Jacob's then wife.
591
00:24:56.769 --> 00:25:01.170
Who like, Um, nobody likes her now. I thought she
592
00:25:01.210 --> 00:25:03.769
was great. I had no problem with her. I thought
593
00:25:03.789 --> 00:25:07.789
she was nice, whatever. But there's like all of the women,
594
00:25:08.089 --> 00:25:10.950
all of my aunts who are married to my blood uncles, right?
595
00:25:10.990 --> 00:25:13.190
Like the people I share blood with and they're, so
596
00:25:13.210 --> 00:25:16.150
they're all married into this family and they're talking shit
597
00:25:16.170 --> 00:25:18.089
about her and whatever, how she should be doing things.
598
00:25:18.109 --> 00:25:20.430
And I'm like, what?
599
00:25:20.950 --> 00:25:23.210
Yeah. How is that any of your concern?
600
00:25:23.329 --> 00:25:25.890
Also like my, yeah, my stepmom and two or three
601
00:25:25.910 --> 00:25:28.920
of my aunts, I'm just like, the fuck do you mean? Like,
602
00:25:28.960 --> 00:25:31.170
you're all married into this. None of you, you know
603
00:25:31.190 --> 00:25:34.089
what I mean? Like, who do you think you are? Right? Like,
604
00:25:34.170 --> 00:25:35.549
as if any of you did better.
605
00:25:35.950 --> 00:25:38.009
Well, and I am, I would wager to say that
606
00:25:38.269 --> 00:25:39.470
none of them even knew her.
607
00:25:40.009 --> 00:25:42.450
No, not a bit. They just judged her. And I,
608
00:25:42.549 --> 00:25:44.690
and I was, I don't know, 15 or 16 years
609
00:25:44.730 --> 00:25:48.589
old being like, you're fucking kidding, right? Like, y'all bitches suck.
610
00:25:48.650 --> 00:25:51.809
I'm going to tell you something really funny. So, his daughter,
611
00:25:53.579 --> 00:25:54.559
Jacob's daughter, Yeah.
612
00:25:55.140 --> 00:25:58.849
Was out at you know, your uncle's house, the youngest one,
613
00:25:58.869 --> 00:26:01.990
the old, the one who has money and actually said
614
00:26:02.049 --> 00:26:04.430
to him, so when you die, can I have your house?
615
00:26:04.569 --> 00:26:06.970
Oh yeah. I remember that. I remember that.
616
00:26:07.190 --> 00:26:10.700
And I was like, you are just young enough that
617
00:26:11.259 --> 00:26:12.259
you can get away with that.
618
00:26:12.319 --> 00:26:12.660
I know.
619
00:26:12.779 --> 00:26:14.619
Because the answer of course is no.
620
00:26:14.779 --> 00:26:15.140
Of course.
621
00:26:15.160 --> 00:26:17.039
Because you know, they have a whole family and children
622
00:26:17.059 --> 00:26:20.640
and grandchildren, whatever, but not old enough that anybody's going
623
00:26:20.660 --> 00:26:23.789
to be genuinely mad or appalled that you asked.
624
00:26:24.180 --> 00:26:26.539
And I thought it was hilarious. I think it's kind
625
00:26:26.559 --> 00:26:28.930
of endearing because I'm like, yeah, this house is sweet.
626
00:26:29.150 --> 00:26:31.309
You do want this house. You know what I mean? Like,
627
00:26:31.329 --> 00:26:34.269
I don't know. Do you have anyone you actually like,
628
00:26:34.329 --> 00:26:36.230
or can I have this house? Right.
629
00:26:36.359 --> 00:26:38.319
And you know what? I would have said to that person,
630
00:26:38.339 --> 00:26:39.740
I was like, well, I'm glad you like my house.
631
00:26:39.839 --> 00:26:40.220
Yeah.
632
00:26:40.440 --> 00:26:41.200
But you can't have it.
633
00:26:41.200 --> 00:26:42.000
Yeah, but you can't have it.
634
00:26:42.599 --> 00:26:45.180
There's other folks on. If everyone else in line dies,
635
00:26:45.200 --> 00:26:48.619
maybe we'll think about it. Yeah, sure. But probably not.
636
00:26:48.640 --> 00:26:51.190
You're ninth in line or whatever. Right. Crazy.
637
00:26:51.450 --> 00:26:54.450
Like in royalty, you are the 21st in line.
638
00:26:54.170 --> 00:26:58.849
To accept the crown. Okay, well, I hope there's not
639
00:26:59.029 --> 00:27:01.950
a mass murder. Right. Because then I'll have to learn
640
00:27:01.970 --> 00:27:09.690
real quick. The Princess of Genovia. I was... Annika and
641
00:27:09.710 --> 00:27:11.910
I went to get coffee like we always do before this.
642
00:27:12.170 --> 00:27:15.809
And I was supposed to come right over to her
643
00:27:15.849 --> 00:27:16.789
house so we could get going.
644
00:27:16.990 --> 00:27:17.269
Yeah, yeah.
645
00:27:17.309 --> 00:27:22.180
But I got a phone call. Oh. Of course. Which was...
646
00:27:22.710 --> 00:27:25.279
So my mother is... I know last time... Last week
647
00:27:25.319 --> 00:27:26.980
I talked about all the shit that had happened with her.
648
00:27:27.000 --> 00:27:29.950
She broke her hip. She broke her hip. She had surgery. Yeah,
649
00:27:29.990 --> 00:27:32.920
she was the obstacle. Right. Yeah, she wouldn't do PT.
650
00:27:33.440 --> 00:27:35.839
Pulled her... I almost said intestines. That's not what they're called.
651
00:27:35.859 --> 00:27:39.000
IVs out. She pulled her intestines out. She pulled her
652
00:27:39.039 --> 00:27:39.660
intestines out.
653
00:27:39.980 --> 00:27:44.930
And then the other day, she pulled her... Catheter. Catheter out, which... Bitch.
654
00:27:44.990 --> 00:27:48.950
If you know anything about that, it is incredibly dangerous
655
00:27:48.990 --> 00:27:49.650
and painful.
656
00:27:49.670 --> 00:27:50.990
It makes me want to die.
657
00:27:51.029 --> 00:27:51.150
Yeah.
658
00:27:51.170 --> 00:27:51.710
I thought of it.
659
00:27:51.769 --> 00:27:54.230
Yeah. Pulling a balloon through your urethra.
660
00:27:54.309 --> 00:27:57.920
You know... Okay, I'm going to sidebar again. Having... Ah! Sorry.
661
00:27:58.539 --> 00:28:04.369
My cat is being a big girl. Okay. Having just
662
00:28:04.420 --> 00:28:07.869
had a catheter, I thought it was uncomfortable, but again,
663
00:28:07.890 --> 00:28:10.170
I was like, I couldn't really feel it. And when
664
00:28:10.190 --> 00:28:13.089
they removed it, I had heard all the horror stories.
665
00:28:13.170 --> 00:28:15.089
I knew all the bad things that could happen. So
666
00:28:15.130 --> 00:28:18.029
I was like, and granted, they had to take a
667
00:28:18.069 --> 00:28:19.630
lot of tubes and shit on me to begin with,
668
00:28:19.670 --> 00:28:22.119
but I was like, you ready? I'm like, yeah. And
669
00:28:22.130 --> 00:28:25.029
then I like held my breath. I felt nothing.
670
00:28:25.309 --> 00:28:25.529
Right.
671
00:28:25.690 --> 00:28:26.630
Nothing. Not at all.
672
00:28:26.650 --> 00:28:29.089
I'm like, Oh, cause they, you know, deflate the balloon.
673
00:28:29.130 --> 00:28:29.750
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
674
00:28:29.869 --> 00:28:34.250
You know, whatever. Uh, but anyway, so she's, you know,
675
00:28:34.309 --> 00:28:38.589
back at the memory care facility and is now, like
676
00:28:38.630 --> 00:28:40.529
I said, in hospice, which is a new thing. She's
677
00:28:40.549 --> 00:28:41.990
only been in hospice for a couple of days.
678
00:28:42.009 --> 00:28:42.430
Yeah.
679
00:28:42.650 --> 00:28:46.539
Well, this man called me this morning who was contacted
680
00:28:46.599 --> 00:28:50.460
by the hospice and he has an organization called Swan song.
681
00:28:50.980 --> 00:28:51.200
Okay.
682
00:28:51.220 --> 00:28:55.470
Um, And they're actually, they're a band and they play music.
683
00:28:55.509 --> 00:29:01.190
They go to specifically to retirement communities and memory care facilities.
684
00:29:01.250 --> 00:29:02.210
Oh my God. Okay.
685
00:29:02.289 --> 00:29:02.890
And sing.
686
00:29:03.170 --> 00:29:03.730
How cute.
687
00:29:03.759 --> 00:29:05.779
And play music and whatever for the old folks.
688
00:29:06.140 --> 00:29:08.440
I love it. And probably hits they know and love.
689
00:29:08.539 --> 00:29:10.339
Yeah. Oh my God. And so they talk, like he
690
00:29:10.359 --> 00:29:12.240
was talking to me like, what kind of music does
691
00:29:12.259 --> 00:29:15.049
she like? Blah, blah, blah. That kind of thing. Okay.
692
00:29:15.329 --> 00:29:16.809
You got to go, dog. Yeah. Go on.
693
00:29:17.869 --> 00:29:18.930
Don't call me a dog.
694
00:29:19.210 --> 00:29:21.069
She's like beating her tail on the table. We don't
695
00:29:21.089 --> 00:29:25.470
need the extra noise. Anyway, but he was asking me
696
00:29:25.490 --> 00:29:28.599
what kind of music she liked. And did I think
697
00:29:28.640 --> 00:29:31.630
she would like a private concert in her room? Or,
698
00:29:31.630 --> 00:29:34.269
you know, I said, you know what? I think she
699
00:29:34.269 --> 00:29:37.650
would like probably to have one where she's part of
700
00:29:37.650 --> 00:29:40.700
the crowd. yeah because that is how she has always
701
00:29:40.720 --> 00:29:43.660
you know enjoyed live music as part of the crowd
702
00:29:43.680 --> 00:29:46.339
yeah you know has been to many many many concerts
703
00:29:46.380 --> 00:29:48.279
way more than I've ever been to yeah yeah yeah
704
00:29:48.319 --> 00:29:50.640
you know but I just thought that was really sweet
705
00:29:50.839 --> 00:29:53.210
that's gonna be so cute I wonder so I was
706
00:29:53.230 --> 00:29:56.549
like yeah you know she likes just classic rock yeah
707
00:29:56.589 --> 00:30:00.180
you're like Elvis and Roy Orbison and that kind of
708
00:30:00.240 --> 00:30:02.289
thing and whatever. So that, I think that was really
709
00:30:02.349 --> 00:30:05.750
fun and it's all covered by Medicaid.
710
00:30:05.930 --> 00:30:06.769
That's so sweet.
711
00:30:06.849 --> 00:30:07.150
Yeah.
712
00:30:07.430 --> 00:30:10.029
That is so sweet. I know that was, that was
713
00:30:10.109 --> 00:30:13.710
a day to when you text me about them saying
714
00:30:13.730 --> 00:30:18.470
it was time for, um, hospice. Cause that's a big step.
715
00:30:19.269 --> 00:30:19.589
It is.
716
00:30:20.089 --> 00:30:24.269
It is indeed. Um, but yeah, that's a lot. It's
717
00:30:24.309 --> 00:30:26.200
a lot, but I mean, I mean, The fact that
718
00:30:26.400 --> 00:30:30.779
she doesn't really take in nutrition or hydration and the
719
00:30:30.819 --> 00:30:33.119
fact that she refuses to try to get up to
720
00:30:33.160 --> 00:30:36.480
try and walk. What else is going to happen?
721
00:30:36.500 --> 00:30:39.619
And then the other day she attempted to get out
722
00:30:39.660 --> 00:30:41.680
of her wheelchair. I don't know what she was thinking
723
00:30:41.779 --> 00:30:44.960
because every other time someone's even tried to stand her up,
724
00:30:45.039 --> 00:30:47.789
she like throws a fit. But she apparently tried to
725
00:30:47.809 --> 00:30:49.470
get out of her wheelchair and fell and landed on
726
00:30:49.490 --> 00:30:52.470
her butt. Thankfully on her butt, not, you know, her
727
00:30:52.509 --> 00:30:55.589
hip or whatever. Oh my Jesus. So she was all right. But,
728
00:30:55.869 --> 00:30:58.210
you know, I mean, as they have to call me
729
00:30:58.269 --> 00:30:59.789
and say she had a fall.
730
00:31:00.049 --> 00:31:01.930
Yeah. So, yeah, but she's fine.
731
00:31:02.630 --> 00:31:07.339
But yeah, now it's just kind of planning for the inevitable.
732
00:31:07.539 --> 00:31:07.839
Yeah.
733
00:31:08.119 --> 00:31:09.859
You know, and so that's a whole different turn. And
734
00:31:09.900 --> 00:31:12.920
I think about I always think about when my grandmother
735
00:31:13.420 --> 00:31:22.390
was in hospice, she she was in hospice for not
736
00:31:22.410 --> 00:31:23.250
even 24 hours.
737
00:31:23.730 --> 00:31:24.089
Really?
738
00:31:24.109 --> 00:31:27.569
Right. When they finally called hospice in, they came in
739
00:31:27.650 --> 00:31:30.450
and the next day she passed because she was all, no,
740
00:31:31.089 --> 00:31:35.359
I'm done. My grandmother was the most independent, stubborn lady
741
00:31:35.940 --> 00:31:39.200
who hated anybody taking care of her.
742
00:31:40.440 --> 00:31:40.640
Yeah.
743
00:31:42.619 --> 00:31:44.599
But like when she had her heart attack, like I
744
00:31:44.799 --> 00:31:47.680
think it was about 20 years prior to her passing.
745
00:31:48.349 --> 00:31:52.589
She was, she was ready to go. She was like,
746
00:31:53.289 --> 00:31:55.190
you know, if I go, I go. I don't want
747
00:31:55.210 --> 00:31:56.829
to live like this. I don't want to. Because she
748
00:31:56.869 --> 00:32:00.500
had like a triple bypass at the inner early 50s.
749
00:32:01.769 --> 00:32:06.269
And so she was really, really sick and really feeble.
750
00:32:06.869 --> 00:32:10.869
And she could not stand that. She hated that. And
751
00:32:12.029 --> 00:32:14.390
in the end, when she was pretty much eaten up
752
00:32:14.410 --> 00:32:15.039
with cancer.
753
00:32:15.059 --> 00:32:15.539
Yeah.
754
00:32:16.880 --> 00:32:19.079
You know, and couldn't eat and couldn't do a lot
755
00:32:19.119 --> 00:32:21.619
of things. She was just like, nope, I'm done.
756
00:32:22.299 --> 00:32:22.420
Yeah.
757
00:32:22.440 --> 00:32:23.940
And as soon as they called the hospital, she's like.
758
00:32:24.099 --> 00:32:24.619
Oh, I'm out.
759
00:32:24.839 --> 00:32:27.380
Oh, you know what? I'm not going to be bathed
760
00:32:27.420 --> 00:32:28.000
in my bed.
761
00:32:28.019 --> 00:32:29.960
I already meant to die. Thanks. Yeah.
762
00:32:29.980 --> 00:32:31.470
You know, I've been scheduling this death.
763
00:32:31.990 --> 00:32:32.130
Yeah.
764
00:32:32.450 --> 00:32:34.650
Apparently, I'm just a little, you know.
765
00:32:34.750 --> 00:32:35.650
Shy of retirement.
766
00:32:35.670 --> 00:32:38.609
I'm a little late for the out, you know, the
767
00:32:38.670 --> 00:32:41.730
out date. But here it is. I'm going. Yeah. And
768
00:32:41.769 --> 00:32:45.759
she went. I know. What's really crazy about that whole
769
00:32:45.779 --> 00:32:46.460
thing to me is in.
770
00:32:49.559 --> 00:32:51.420
I was at home when she passed and she passed
771
00:32:51.440 --> 00:32:53.579
in the middle of the night. And I remember I
772
00:32:53.640 --> 00:32:57.019
woke up about, I woke up at the time that
773
00:32:57.059 --> 00:32:59.859
she died. I woke up and I rolled over and
774
00:32:59.880 --> 00:33:02.079
I was like, oh, she just died.
775
00:33:02.339 --> 00:33:02.779
Crazy.
776
00:33:03.019 --> 00:33:04.819
And I'm home and nobody, you know, it's like whatever.
777
00:33:04.839 --> 00:33:07.839
And then at seven in the morning when my phone rang,
778
00:33:07.859 --> 00:33:10.119
I was like, oh, that's my mother calling to tell
779
00:33:10.140 --> 00:33:10.920
me that she passed.
780
00:33:11.000 --> 00:33:11.220
Yeah.
781
00:33:11.660 --> 00:33:16.390
And of course it was. And what's interesting, you know
782
00:33:16.430 --> 00:33:19.589
how oftentimes people will like to go back to like
783
00:33:19.609 --> 00:33:21.809
a place that they've lived to go revisit it and
784
00:33:21.869 --> 00:33:25.269
like feel that whatever it is, they, you know, nostalgia
785
00:33:25.289 --> 00:33:27.869
or whatever. And then you get there and it's not there. Yeah.
786
00:33:28.029 --> 00:33:30.549
It's because it's just a shell. It's, you know, and
787
00:33:30.589 --> 00:33:33.490
so when I went to her house later that day
788
00:33:33.549 --> 00:33:36.549
and she was already gone. Yeah. So was every bit
789
00:33:36.589 --> 00:33:38.329
of her energy. Cause I walked into that house and
790
00:33:38.349 --> 00:33:40.430
I was like, Oh, she's, she long gone.
791
00:33:40.630 --> 00:33:40.819
Yeah.
792
00:33:41.019 --> 00:33:42.710
You know, cause there, I didn't feel any of her
793
00:33:42.759 --> 00:33:43.380
spirit there.
794
00:33:43.400 --> 00:33:45.839
Yeah. It's cause she was like juices, man.
795
00:33:45.880 --> 00:33:47.839
I gotta get out of here. I got places to go.
796
00:33:48.200 --> 00:33:53.890
Right. I also love the story of your mom, McGrammy,
797
00:33:54.109 --> 00:33:59.019
taking her parents' ashes to like Eastern Oregon, right? Where
798
00:33:59.039 --> 00:33:59.779
they used to hunt.
799
00:34:00.079 --> 00:34:00.180
Yeah.
800
00:34:00.200 --> 00:34:02.980
Because our grandma and grandpa were hunters.
801
00:34:03.160 --> 00:34:03.440
Yes.
802
00:34:03.500 --> 00:34:07.819
They hunted. But where they used to hunt and grandma would,
803
00:34:08.179 --> 00:34:09.920
you know, let their, she went with her brothers.
804
00:34:10.980 --> 00:34:11.340
One brother.
805
00:34:11.559 --> 00:34:13.500
One brother. And they each, you know, she let her
806
00:34:13.519 --> 00:34:16.599
mom's ashes and he let dad's ashes. But mom's ashes,
807
00:34:16.909 --> 00:34:19.449
grandma's ashes went up and flew away and just were
808
00:34:19.489 --> 00:34:23.630
like just stoked to be out of a urn and
809
00:34:23.730 --> 00:34:25.530
grandpa's didn't they just.
810
00:34:25.250 --> 00:34:28.449
Went to the ground and laid there which seems perfect
811
00:34:28.469 --> 00:34:32.530
for those two yeah my grandmother was just i loved
812
00:34:32.590 --> 00:34:35.630
my grandmother she was i thought a great lady now
813
00:34:36.210 --> 00:34:39.219
i i realized not that long ago that not once
814
00:34:39.260 --> 00:34:40.800
in my entire life did she ever say i love
815
00:34:40.820 --> 00:34:44.119
you but but she showed up me yeah i knew
816
00:34:44.159 --> 00:34:46.960
she loved me but yes and my grandfather was a
817
00:34:46.980 --> 00:34:49.889
monster yeah So, you know, fuck him.
818
00:34:50.010 --> 00:34:51.949
Yeah. But... Did you think he was a monster when
819
00:34:51.969 --> 00:34:52.710
you were a kid? Oh, yeah.
820
00:34:52.730 --> 00:34:53.329
I always hated him.
821
00:34:53.650 --> 00:34:54.090
Oh, wow.
822
00:34:54.150 --> 00:34:54.510
Always.
823
00:34:54.590 --> 00:34:55.130
I didn't know that.
824
00:34:55.369 --> 00:34:57.190
And I was talking to my cousin one day who
825
00:34:57.289 --> 00:35:01.130
said that she... When her family would go to visit
826
00:35:01.150 --> 00:35:03.730
the grandparents, she and her sister would, like, cry.
827
00:35:03.750 --> 00:35:04.170
Yeah.
828
00:35:04.469 --> 00:35:06.969
Because they hated him. Because he was mean.
829
00:35:06.989 --> 00:35:08.710
Okay. You know? Yeah.
830
00:35:09.369 --> 00:35:10.920
And as little kids, they were kind of afraid of
831
00:35:10.929 --> 00:35:14.780
him because he had crazy eyes. He had... You couldn't tell.
832
00:35:14.679 --> 00:35:16.300
If he was looking at you. Was he, like, wall-eyed?
833
00:35:17.059 --> 00:35:20.489
No, but he was so close to blind that the
834
00:35:20.650 --> 00:35:23.139
Coke bottle glasses he wore and whatever muscle thing was
835
00:35:23.179 --> 00:35:25.550
going on in his eyes One eye was looking straight
836
00:35:25.590 --> 00:35:27.070
at you and the other eye was looking somewhere else.
837
00:35:27.090 --> 00:35:28.789
So it was always disconcerting.
838
00:35:28.809 --> 00:35:30.210
Yeah, yeah, yeah. But he was mean.
839
00:35:30.230 --> 00:35:30.610
Yeah.
840
00:35:30.650 --> 00:35:32.730
So that did not help. That's okay.
841
00:35:33.349 --> 00:35:35.860
I didn't know because if you, like, if grandma had
842
00:35:35.909 --> 00:35:38.019
told stories to you growing up, like she told me
843
00:35:38.079 --> 00:35:39.539
about how she was mean.
844
00:35:39.579 --> 00:35:39.820
Yeah.
845
00:35:40.099 --> 00:35:42.199
I didn't know if that was the reason. Later. Yeah.
846
00:35:42.239 --> 00:35:43.900
But I had my own experiences with him and I
847
00:35:43.920 --> 00:35:48.300
couldn't stand him. Yeah. You know, so whatever. But I,
848
00:35:48.320 --> 00:35:52.239
you know, speaking of spreading ashes, one of the things
849
00:35:52.300 --> 00:35:56.449
my mother had asked me was, When she goes, and
850
00:35:56.489 --> 00:36:01.349
she's cremated, to go up into the mountains, spread her ashes.
851
00:36:02.329 --> 00:36:04.530
Because my mother is a weirdo. She doesn't like the beach.
852
00:36:04.849 --> 00:36:05.070
Mm-hmm.
853
00:36:05.320 --> 00:36:06.219
Which I always think is weird.
854
00:36:06.239 --> 00:36:06.510
Yeah.
855
00:36:06.590 --> 00:36:08.360
But whatever. I love the beach. I don't want to
856
00:36:08.380 --> 00:36:09.539
be on it. But I love to look at it.
857
00:36:09.559 --> 00:36:11.019
It's beautiful, though. Anyway.
858
00:36:11.039 --> 00:36:13.079
And she said, and I want you to take the
859
00:36:13.139 --> 00:36:15.480
cremains of all of my cats.
860
00:36:15.500 --> 00:36:16.000
Mm-hmm.
861
00:36:16.420 --> 00:36:18.079
And I was like, that's going to look like fucking
862
00:36:18.099 --> 00:36:18.719
Mount St. Helens.
863
00:36:18.780 --> 00:36:22.860
Girl, girl, you want me to do what?
864
00:36:23.179 --> 00:36:26.909
When I tell you that the closet of the room
865
00:36:26.949 --> 00:36:28.590
that used to be her bedroom is now my bedroom
866
00:36:29.530 --> 00:36:31.010
has two full shelves.
867
00:36:31.690 --> 00:36:32.789
How many are there? Two dozen?
868
00:36:33.510 --> 00:36:37.630
At least. That's nuts. There's at least that many cremated
869
00:36:37.670 --> 00:36:41.230
remains of cats. So maybe one chicken. I don't know.
870
00:36:41.250 --> 00:36:43.750
And my sister. Are you going to crack them all
871
00:36:43.949 --> 00:36:47.010
at home and pour them in a bag? That's a
872
00:36:47.050 --> 00:36:49.039
solid question. You know, I hadn't actually thought about that.
873
00:36:49.119 --> 00:36:51.739
Because you can't go up there and, like, crack all
874
00:36:51.760 --> 00:36:56.659
these 36 dead babes. Honestly, because it'll take forever. It's
875
00:36:56.679 --> 00:36:58.389
going to take you a while to get them all open.
876
00:36:58.429 --> 00:37:00.510
I'll just go there with, like, a big black trash
877
00:37:00.550 --> 00:37:03.269
bag filled with all the ashes.
878
00:37:03.869 --> 00:37:05.829
And the whole way in there, just out the window.
879
00:37:06.150 --> 00:37:06.670
You know what I mean?
880
00:37:06.690 --> 00:37:07.969
So there you go. So they're all open.
881
00:37:07.989 --> 00:37:10.449
It looks like you're Cheech and Chong. Yeah. Out the
882
00:37:10.489 --> 00:37:11.570
back window, girl.
883
00:37:12.420 --> 00:37:16.769
You've watched the movie... The Shawshank Redemption, yeah.
884
00:37:17.650 --> 00:37:18.530
Yeah, I've read the book too.
885
00:37:18.730 --> 00:37:22.269
So remember when he is digging his way out of
886
00:37:22.309 --> 00:37:25.869
his cell and he comes out every day with dirt
887
00:37:25.949 --> 00:37:27.719
and stuff in his, or rock or whatever is in
888
00:37:27.760 --> 00:37:30.280
his pockets and just slowly lets it out so nobody
889
00:37:30.300 --> 00:37:32.860
can see. I was like, I want somebody to do
890
00:37:32.880 --> 00:37:34.460
that for me in Disneyland.
891
00:37:34.500 --> 00:37:35.179
Just a little bit.
892
00:37:35.300 --> 00:37:38.860
Just walk around with my ashes in your pocket and
893
00:37:38.900 --> 00:37:41.329
put a little hole so that It's trailing out somewhere.
894
00:37:41.530 --> 00:37:43.550
Although that would really be gross, because then it would be, like,
895
00:37:43.710 --> 00:37:45.510
on your legs and stuff, and that's disgusting.
896
00:37:45.570 --> 00:37:45.949
Yeah.
897
00:37:46.110 --> 00:37:47.510
Or you could just put them in your purse and
898
00:37:47.530 --> 00:37:49.280
put a hole in your purse. I'm just going to
899
00:37:49.300 --> 00:37:51.219
grab a fistful. You'll be like, um, lady, there's something
900
00:37:51.260 --> 00:37:53.460
dripping out your purse. I'm going to grab a fistful of.
901
00:37:53.340 --> 00:37:54.820
You, and I'm going to throw you to the top
902
00:37:54.860 --> 00:37:57.039
of a ride. And then you can just scatter over animals.
903
00:37:57.059 --> 00:37:59.000
And people are like, what's falling in my eyes?
904
00:37:59.320 --> 00:37:59.840
My mother.
905
00:37:59.920 --> 00:38:03.800
Sorry, it's the Incredicoaster. They're getting fucking packed in.
906
00:38:03.820 --> 00:38:05.219
Or you'll be, like, throwing it straight up in the
907
00:38:05.260 --> 00:38:06.739
air and it's landing on the people behind you.
908
00:38:06.900 --> 00:38:07.199
I know.
909
00:38:07.219 --> 00:38:08.550
I want, um.
910
00:38:09.969 --> 00:38:14.090
We're going to split my ashes into several pieces like horcruxes.
911
00:38:14.329 --> 00:38:15.690
That makes sense.
912
00:38:16.510 --> 00:38:18.449
I want a couple pieces turned into gems so they
913
00:38:18.469 --> 00:38:21.730
can be, you know, little earrings for someone. Or just
914
00:38:21.769 --> 00:38:23.809
bury me with them. No, I don't know.
915
00:38:23.929 --> 00:38:29.090
I want one released. I don't know.
916
00:38:29.150 --> 00:38:31.969
I don't know where I want to be released. Shot
917
00:38:32.010 --> 00:38:35.570
into space. No, that's so scary. I want you to
918
00:38:35.610 --> 00:38:38.550
dump my ashes in the ocean. Or at your favorite place.
919
00:38:39.030 --> 00:38:40.440
Face my fear even in death.
920
00:38:41.260 --> 00:38:45.340
I know. I know. What's funny is there are very
921
00:38:45.360 --> 00:38:48.860
strict rules against spreading ashes, even tiny amounts, in Disneyland.
922
00:38:49.239 --> 00:38:52.519
They will ban you for life. Well, here's the thing.
923
00:38:52.559 --> 00:38:55.050
Don't really spread my ashes in Disneyland. I would hate
924
00:38:55.320 --> 00:38:56.289
for you to get banned for life.
925
00:38:56.489 --> 00:38:57.989
Listen, nobody tells me what to do.
926
00:38:59.329 --> 00:39:00.849
So, if I had.
927
00:39:01.289 --> 00:39:03.230
If they check me out, because you have to go
928
00:39:03.250 --> 00:39:05.869
through metal detectors and they check your bag and they
929
00:39:05.889 --> 00:39:10.510
don't find a little vial of ashes... bitch, please. They'll
930
00:39:10.530 --> 00:39:12.920
be fine. I don't need to get you all over
931
00:39:12.960 --> 00:39:15.480
the park, bitch. I can get you in the Haunted Mansion.
932
00:39:15.840 --> 00:39:18.820
I can do lines of you in the bathroom. You know?
933
00:39:18.840 --> 00:39:22.199
You could go on to what is now Tiana's Bayou
934
00:39:22.260 --> 00:39:25.550
Adventure and just very subtly drop it over the side
935
00:39:25.570 --> 00:39:25.929
of the boat.
936
00:39:25.949 --> 00:39:27.409
That's what I'm saying. You'll just be in that water.
937
00:39:27.429 --> 00:39:29.550
Who's going to see it? No one.
938
00:39:30.320 --> 00:39:31.599
Someone might yell at you to get your hand back
939
00:39:31.659 --> 00:39:33.579
in the boat but it's not like you're going.
940
00:39:33.159 --> 00:39:34.400
To trail it through the water.
941
00:39:34.420 --> 00:39:37.300
No, exactly. And it's a little violent. Get to the
942
00:39:37.340 --> 00:39:41.880
top of the what is it? Guardians of the Galaxy
943
00:39:42.099 --> 00:39:46.739
and just blow it. Yeah, girl. Yeah.
944
00:39:47.199 --> 00:39:47.539
No.
945
00:39:47.699 --> 00:39:51.079
I'm also okay not being cremated and having, being buried, like,
946
00:39:51.159 --> 00:39:53.900
under a tree. Do you know how cool that would be?
947
00:39:53.920 --> 00:39:57.780
This tree just, like, eats me. And then it becomes
948
00:39:57.980 --> 00:39:59.960
that I'm a tree. Oh my god, it's full circle,
949
00:39:59.980 --> 00:40:01.300
and then I'm one of those trees from The Wizard
950
00:40:01.320 --> 00:40:03.760
of Oz. He throws apples.
951
00:40:03.880 --> 00:40:04.619
Slapping Dorothy.
952
00:40:05.039 --> 00:40:07.320
Yeah, being scary as shit.
953
00:40:07.340 --> 00:40:08.179
She was hungry.
954
00:40:08.400 --> 00:40:08.840
I know.
955
00:40:09.039 --> 00:40:14.719
Yeah, that's me. Yeah, I can see it. You're A
956
00:40:14.760 --> 00:40:15.280
mean tree.
957
00:40:15.300 --> 00:40:17.420
But I don't want to stand... I don't want to... Yeah, no.
958
00:40:17.500 --> 00:40:19.059
Cremate me and let me fucking fly.
959
00:40:19.800 --> 00:40:22.559
Well, and my other idea that I've always thought would
960
00:40:22.599 --> 00:40:25.440
be the best, which I know sounds horrifying to you,
961
00:40:25.519 --> 00:40:26.380
is Burial at Sea.
962
00:40:26.440 --> 00:40:27.639
No, that does not sound the best.
963
00:40:27.659 --> 00:40:28.239
Who are you?
964
00:40:28.280 --> 00:40:29.119
No, to me.
965
00:40:29.139 --> 00:40:31.019
And I'll tell you why. Because I have the same
966
00:40:31.239 --> 00:40:36.460
water fears that Annika has. But the idea that once
967
00:40:36.559 --> 00:40:40.900
your body reaches the depths where it's going to lay... Yeah.
968
00:40:41.280 --> 00:40:44.219
It is immediately starting to break down in the water.
969
00:40:44.380 --> 00:40:44.760
Yeah.
970
00:40:44.900 --> 00:40:45.969
And you become fish food.
971
00:40:45.989 --> 00:40:46.530
Okay.
972
00:40:46.550 --> 00:40:49.489
You also become habitat for, like, some animals. For humanity.
973
00:40:49.670 --> 00:40:49.889
Yeah.
974
00:40:50.690 --> 00:40:53.409
You become habitat for humanity. Where you build a little
975
00:40:53.449 --> 00:40:55.389
house at the bottom of the ocean so that the
976
00:40:55.969 --> 00:40:57.369
sea slugs can come live in me.
977
00:40:57.710 --> 00:41:01.010
Ew. I can't imagine just seeing... Can you imagine being
978
00:41:01.050 --> 00:41:04.309
a stupid diver and going down there and being like, oh,
979
00:41:04.369 --> 00:41:07.320
so pretty. So, so pretty. And then you just see
980
00:41:07.340 --> 00:41:09.739
a carcass and there's fish living in it and they're like,
981
00:41:10.909 --> 00:41:12.469
You know what? You call the police.
982
00:41:12.489 --> 00:41:13.289
It's from a horror movie.
983
00:41:13.309 --> 00:41:15.090
And they're like, don't worry about it. What do you mean,
984
00:41:15.230 --> 00:41:16.409
don't worry about it?
985
00:41:16.409 --> 00:41:17.869
Do I need to bring that back up so someone
986
00:41:17.889 --> 00:41:19.789
can figure out who this bitch was? Was this a
987
00:41:19.829 --> 00:41:20.130
crime scene?
988
00:41:20.150 --> 00:41:22.480
Yeah, how exhausting, right? Because then your corpse is going
989
00:41:22.659 --> 00:41:24.820
up and down. People are being like, put her back!
990
00:41:24.840 --> 00:41:25.519
Put her back!
991
00:41:27.900 --> 00:41:30.960
Now that you mention that, I do wonder... Yeah. You know,
992
00:41:31.000 --> 00:41:32.900
it's like, what keeps you... I wonder if they, like,
993
00:41:33.539 --> 00:41:35.980
weigh it down so that it'll stay down there. Or,
994
00:41:37.429 --> 00:41:39.889
you know, something... Because the idea.
995
00:41:40.780 --> 00:41:41.000
Yeah.
996
00:41:41.480 --> 00:41:43.960
And it must be out deep enough that once it hits,
997
00:41:44.019 --> 00:41:44.780
it's going to stay there.
998
00:41:45.039 --> 00:41:46.599
Yeah, no one's scuba diving down there.
999
00:41:46.639 --> 00:41:48.840
Well, even that, it's like the tide's not going to
1000
00:41:48.900 --> 00:41:52.219
move you in and wash you up on shore or whatever. Yeah.
1001
00:41:53.059 --> 00:41:55.030
But it has to have waves because otherwise, as it's
1002
00:41:55.739 --> 00:41:57.949
producing oxygen and stuff, it would float you back up.
1003
00:41:58.050 --> 00:42:00.690
Yeah, all those gases are going to burble in your butt.
1004
00:42:01.670 --> 00:42:04.429
And you're going to go up. Yeah. Ew, gross.
1005
00:42:04.710 --> 00:42:05.150
Oh, God.
1006
00:42:05.610 --> 00:42:09.110
The ocean is like so cool, but also like. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
1007
00:42:10.320 --> 00:42:11.960
The other day, I took my kids to swim in
1008
00:42:11.980 --> 00:42:14.079
the river. I took them to swim in a swimming
1009
00:42:14.099 --> 00:42:16.900
pool like a normal person. But the swimming pool was closed.
1010
00:42:16.940 --> 00:42:21.420
That's really privileged of you. You nasty bitch. I took
1011
00:42:21.460 --> 00:42:24.019
them to swim in a swimming pool like a normal person. Like,
1012
00:42:24.059 --> 00:42:26.300
we didn't spend most of our lives swimming in natural
1013
00:42:26.340 --> 00:42:29.960
bodies of water. But... Oh, my God.
1014
00:42:30.119 --> 00:42:33.909
The swimming pools were all closed. So, we ended up
1015
00:42:33.949 --> 00:42:34.550
going to the river.
1016
00:42:34.570 --> 00:42:36.150
I hate swimming pools.
1017
00:42:36.489 --> 00:42:41.320
What's funny... Yeah? Is... the kids were like, oh, it's
1018
00:42:41.340 --> 00:42:44.599
so fun. And we saw fish. What? You saw fish
1019
00:42:44.639 --> 00:42:48.139
in the river? Crazy.
1020
00:42:48.179 --> 00:42:50.389
City children. It was like, and the fish were like
1021
00:42:50.510 --> 00:42:51.690
nibbling at my toes.
1022
00:42:51.730 --> 00:42:55.349
And I was like, nope. When we went to SeaWorld
1023
00:42:55.949 --> 00:42:57.030
in 2019. I know.
1024
00:42:57.650 --> 00:43:01.219
I don't know. Can't believe you did that. Oh. The
1025
00:43:01.280 --> 00:43:02.579
animals wrote me.
1026
00:43:02.900 --> 00:43:04.579
I know. The animals were very mad, and they're like,
1027
00:43:04.619 --> 00:43:06.679
I can't believe we saw her there. We thought she
1028
00:43:06.719 --> 00:43:07.360
was on our side.
1029
00:43:07.400 --> 00:43:09.639
Yeah. Advocate my ass.
1030
00:43:09.900 --> 00:43:11.639
And I know that you're going to feel the same
1031
00:43:11.659 --> 00:43:14.469
way that I did. When you first walk in, and
1032
00:43:14.489 --> 00:43:16.989
you're waiting to go through into the actual park, but
1033
00:43:17.010 --> 00:43:21.630
you're in between the gate and whatever, because they've let
1034
00:43:21.670 --> 00:43:24.510
you in, but the park isn't quite open yet. There's
1035
00:43:24.530 --> 00:43:25.389
all these pools.
1036
00:43:25.610 --> 00:43:26.409
Yeah, I know there isn't.
1037
00:43:26.900 --> 00:43:29.099
That are full of fish. I don't like that. That
1038
00:43:29.119 --> 00:43:31.690
they encourage you to like put your hands. And they'll.
1039
00:43:32.010 --> 00:43:33.730
And the little fish come up and eat your dead
1040
00:43:33.750 --> 00:43:34.269
skin off your hand.
1041
00:43:34.309 --> 00:43:37.190
No. No. They'll be mad, bitch. That's going to be
1042
00:43:37.210 --> 00:43:38.889
my flesh. I don't have no dead skin, bitch. My
1043
00:43:38.929 --> 00:43:41.929
skin is supple. You know what I mean? What dead skin?
1044
00:43:42.010 --> 00:43:42.360
Huh?
1045
00:43:42.719 --> 00:43:44.420
Huh? The fish would come over and be like, dead
1046
00:43:44.559 --> 00:43:46.460
skin where? Right. You know?
1047
00:43:47.340 --> 00:43:51.639
But my husband and my children, more than happy. To
1048
00:43:51.679 --> 00:43:53.539
put their hands in the water, let the fish come
1049
00:43:53.559 --> 00:43:54.920
up and nibble on them, and it was all.
1050
00:43:55.139 --> 00:43:55.380
No.
1051
00:43:55.579 --> 00:43:56.239
Fuck that.
1052
00:43:56.320 --> 00:43:56.710
Listen, I.
1053
00:43:56.860 --> 00:43:59.019
And I also could never do that, like, pedicure where
1054
00:43:59.079 --> 00:44:01.000
you have fish nibbling on your feet. No, thank you.
1055
00:44:01.800 --> 00:44:04.420
It's gross to me. Well, I have swam in bodies
1056
00:44:04.460 --> 00:44:05.559
of water where fish... I don't want to be a snack.
1057
00:44:05.579 --> 00:44:07.639
Where fish come up to you. You know what I mean?
1058
00:44:07.820 --> 00:44:09.840
Been there, done that. I grew up there. I don't
1059
00:44:09.880 --> 00:44:10.579
want to go there again.
1060
00:44:10.619 --> 00:44:11.119
Well, sure.
1061
00:44:11.260 --> 00:44:11.900
Nobody's home, girl.
1062
00:44:11.940 --> 00:44:14.659
But the idea of, like, I'm putting my hand specifically
1063
00:44:14.719 --> 00:44:15.239
in this thing.
1064
00:44:15.320 --> 00:44:15.539
Nope.
1065
00:44:15.679 --> 00:44:17.539
So a fish will specifically come up and chew on
1066
00:44:17.559 --> 00:44:17.840
my hand.
1067
00:44:17.960 --> 00:44:21.380
Gross. No, what? Just piranhas. Ah! You know, like.
1068
00:44:22.829 --> 00:44:23.110
I'll do that.
1069
00:44:23.130 --> 00:44:25.230
Why do you say that? Because Grace said, what if
1070
00:44:25.269 --> 00:44:28.010
they were piranhas? Then you'd have pulled back a bloody stump.
1071
00:44:28.210 --> 00:44:30.750
Yeah. It would have been a very different experience, girl.
1072
00:44:30.769 --> 00:44:31.630
It would have been very different.
1073
00:44:31.889 --> 00:44:33.489
There would have been blood boiling, you know.
1074
00:44:33.510 --> 00:44:34.889
Yeah. Roiling.
1075
00:44:35.070 --> 00:44:36.179
Roiling, yeah, in the water.
1076
00:44:36.199 --> 00:44:36.929
Yeah.
1077
00:44:37.360 --> 00:44:39.840
No, they're not piranhas.
1078
00:44:40.139 --> 00:44:43.519
Yeah, no. But, ugh. No, I don't like any of that, girl.
1079
00:44:44.119 --> 00:44:46.900
I mean, I guess, listen, the Earth's going to be
1080
00:44:46.940 --> 00:44:49.880
flooded soon because everything is melting, so we're all going
1081
00:44:49.900 --> 00:44:52.019
to have a burial at sea, so. I guess I'm
1082
00:44:52.039 --> 00:44:54.920
sure you get used to it. I don't want to.
1083
00:44:54.960 --> 00:44:56.829
Are we going to have to move to like higher ground?
1084
00:44:56.929 --> 00:44:58.409
I mean, we're not very high right now.
1085
00:44:59.210 --> 00:44:59.699
Portland is.
1086
00:44:59.769 --> 00:45:01.789
I'm pretty fucking high right now.
1087
00:45:02.889 --> 00:45:06.170
Portland is just above sea level, really. So.
1088
00:45:06.289 --> 00:45:09.800
Yeah. Same. Um, I know we're not, we are not
1089
00:45:09.840 --> 00:45:12.539
very high, but we're, we're not that far inland either.
1090
00:45:12.760 --> 00:45:13.019
No.
1091
00:45:13.739 --> 00:45:15.619
Because there's a big fucking river right there.
1092
00:45:15.639 --> 00:45:18.760
Well, and that, you know, all those years ago when that, uh,
1093
00:45:19.360 --> 00:45:21.639
newspaper article happened saying how there was going to be
1094
00:45:21.679 --> 00:45:24.579
the big quake that's been coming for years and blah, blah, blah.
1095
00:45:24.940 --> 00:45:27.570
And basically it was going to shear off everything on
1096
00:45:27.610 --> 00:45:30.369
the other side of I-5 and we would have coast
1097
00:45:30.389 --> 00:45:31.130
front property.
1098
00:45:31.289 --> 00:45:34.269
Perfect. It's like, well, then I'd only have to drive
1099
00:45:34.309 --> 00:45:35.769
a few minutes to go to the beach. Yeah. Could
1100
00:45:35.789 --> 00:45:39.949
you imagine though? Everything we knew growing up would be gone. Yeah.
1101
00:45:40.369 --> 00:45:42.670
Isn't that crazy to think about? It is crazy. That's
1102
00:45:42.730 --> 00:45:47.039
nuts to think about. Like just flooded. Gross towns flooded.
1103
00:45:47.969 --> 00:45:49.489
I hate it. That makes me want to cry. I
1104
00:45:49.530 --> 00:45:51.289
watched a movie. Sorry, this is.
1105
00:45:51.489 --> 00:45:52.230
Oh, you watched a movie.
1106
00:45:52.309 --> 00:45:54.309
Good for you. Months ago, I watched this movie called
1107
00:45:54.329 --> 00:45:58.269
The Underwater House because I like to punish myself.
1108
00:45:58.389 --> 00:45:58.809
Yeah.
1109
00:45:59.170 --> 00:45:59.449
And it.
1110
00:46:00.139 --> 00:46:01.550
My cat looks nuts.
1111
00:46:03.239 --> 00:46:10.360
Excuse me. And it was about this couple who does, like, YouTube. Right?
1112
00:46:10.440 --> 00:46:15.619
They do YouTubes. And they do, like, spooky haunted houses. Like,
1113
00:46:16.280 --> 00:46:19.699
famous haunted places. And then they find this little beach
1114
00:46:20.280 --> 00:46:22.840
and this guy's like, I can show you a really
1115
00:46:22.880 --> 00:46:25.469
haunted place. I can show you the world. Sorry. But
1116
00:46:25.510 --> 00:46:28.630
it's under the waters of this lake because we flooded
1117
00:46:28.710 --> 00:46:33.929
it years ago because, for whatever reason. Of, because. And
1118
00:46:33.949 --> 00:46:35.469
then they're like, oh my god, okay. So they went
1119
00:46:35.550 --> 00:46:39.949
scoop to diving into this house that's been, like, flooded for,
1120
00:46:40.010 --> 00:46:42.480
you know, 40 years or whatever. And they get down
1121
00:46:42.500 --> 00:46:44.739
there and things are wrong. Like, the doors are chained
1122
00:46:44.860 --> 00:46:49.650
up and they find, you know, skeletons everywhere. strapped to shit. Like,
1123
00:46:49.710 --> 00:46:53.190
they left people there to die. Very scary, very haunted,
1124
00:46:53.219 --> 00:46:55.219
very scary, very scary, very scary, very haunted.
1125
00:46:55.239 --> 00:46:57.219
I'm assuming this was fictional. This wasn't documentary.
1126
00:46:57.239 --> 00:47:00.039
Yeah, it wasn't real. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
1127
00:47:00.320 --> 00:47:02.659
But I mean, there's that, what is that lake that
1128
00:47:02.699 --> 00:47:05.539
people talk about? Like, don't ever go swimming in Blinkity
1129
00:47:05.579 --> 00:47:08.530
Blink Lake because there was a black community that was flooded.
1130
00:47:08.570 --> 00:47:09.949
It's funny, I was just thinking about that.
1131
00:47:09.969 --> 00:47:10.469
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
1132
00:47:10.530 --> 00:47:14.570
And it was, they did not do anything with all
1133
00:47:14.590 --> 00:47:17.829
the buildings and houses or whatever. They literally just flooded
1134
00:47:17.849 --> 00:47:26.199
it basically made everybody leave and then just blew up
1135
00:47:27.300 --> 00:47:32.960
the dam and flooded it. Now, when I was a kid...
1136
00:47:33.739 --> 00:47:36.059
Lake Lanier. And where is that?
1137
00:47:36.159 --> 00:47:39.840
Georgia. Covers a site of historic and prosperous black town
1138
00:47:39.900 --> 00:47:43.449
named Oscarville. Yeah.
1139
00:47:43.510 --> 00:47:44.429
I will not be going there.
1140
00:47:44.690 --> 00:47:45.170
No.
1141
00:47:46.010 --> 00:47:49.130
When I was a kid, there was always talk that
1142
00:47:49.449 --> 00:47:52.090
they were going to put the lake back into Carleton.
1143
00:47:52.829 --> 00:47:55.989
Because at one point, down at the bottom of the hill,
1144
00:47:56.800 --> 00:47:59.000
where those, like, kind of deep fields and stuff are,
1145
00:47:59.400 --> 00:48:00.860
if you were going down the hill out of town,
1146
00:48:01.280 --> 00:48:05.099
over on the right-hand side, that was all water.
1147
00:48:05.219 --> 00:48:06.360
Going out of town which way?
1148
00:48:07.000 --> 00:48:08.219
Like, to Four Corners.
1149
00:48:08.599 --> 00:48:09.380
Okay, okay, okay.
1150
00:48:09.559 --> 00:48:11.219
And I know that y'all don't have any clue what.
1151
00:48:11.139 --> 00:48:13.019
We're talking about. Like, the lower park was flooded?
1152
00:48:13.039 --> 00:48:16.159
No, even farther out. Okay, okay. But I think so.
1153
00:48:16.179 --> 00:48:16.800
Gross, I hate that.
1154
00:48:16.880 --> 00:48:18.469
I think part of it. But there was a huge
1155
00:48:18.550 --> 00:48:23.539
lake there, and there's pictures of people fishing on said lake. Wow.
1156
00:48:23.559 --> 00:48:27.219
But there was talk. There was always talk for years
1157
00:48:27.579 --> 00:48:32.440
that they were going to build the dam back up,
1158
00:48:32.480 --> 00:48:32.840
break the dam.
1159
00:48:32.900 --> 00:48:33.199
I don't know.
1160
00:48:33.679 --> 00:48:38.690
But recreate the lake for tourism because it was a
1161
00:48:38.730 --> 00:48:43.429
town that was barely making ends meet to survive as
1162
00:48:43.449 --> 00:48:47.230
a town. Yeah. But then the wineries came in. And
1163
00:48:47.469 --> 00:48:49.489
Lord have mercy. And yeah, booming.
1164
00:48:49.929 --> 00:48:53.210
I remember, okay, you guys have to imagine that Carleton
1165
00:48:53.250 --> 00:48:55.570
has hills in it. It's not like a flat one
1166
00:48:55.650 --> 00:48:59.360
level place, right? It's quite hilly. In the Lower Park,
1167
00:49:00.059 --> 00:49:02.340
you're at the top of this hill. And we call
1168
00:49:02.360 --> 00:49:05.940
it the Lower Park because you go down 300 feet.
1169
00:49:06.000 --> 00:49:06.280
I don't know.
1170
00:49:06.300 --> 00:49:09.000
You go down quite a ways. It's very far. It's
1171
00:49:09.019 --> 00:49:12.179
a very steep hill that has like roller coaster waves
1172
00:49:12.260 --> 00:49:15.710
in it. And then you turn left into this huge
1173
00:49:15.750 --> 00:49:17.190
open park, and you can see the park from the
1174
00:49:17.210 --> 00:49:19.969
top of the hill. It's not, like, obscured. I remember that.
1175
00:49:20.420 --> 00:49:23.679
there being years when it rained so much in like
1176
00:49:23.699 --> 00:49:27.480
the 1997 summer or spring break quake or what the
1177
00:49:27.519 --> 00:49:31.500
fuck ever. Things that had fucked up nature flooded the
1178
00:49:31.739 --> 00:49:34.530
lower park. So like the play structures and the bathrooms
1179
00:49:34.630 --> 00:49:36.750
and all of that shit was flooded.
1180
00:49:36.769 --> 00:49:36.929
Flooded.
1181
00:49:37.309 --> 00:49:40.489
And I want you to know that's my worst fucking nightmare.
1182
00:49:40.929 --> 00:49:43.610
Because it's a whole park. So scary. And, like, that's
1183
00:49:43.650 --> 00:49:46.550
where I played baseball and softball and soccer growing up.
1184
00:49:46.610 --> 00:49:48.889
And so, like, the idea of this whole park being flooded.
1185
00:49:49.329 --> 00:49:53.809
Sore scary. That's sore scary. Yeah. Carlton.
1186
00:49:53.909 --> 00:49:54.530
Absolutely.
1187
00:49:54.550 --> 00:49:57.269
Wild. What a wild place. Yeah.
1188
00:49:57.969 --> 00:50:00.340
What a terrible place. Terrible place to grow up.
1189
00:50:01.750 --> 00:50:03.489
I know. It didn't have to be. It was just
1190
00:50:03.510 --> 00:50:05.320
the people. Yeah.
1191
00:50:05.340 --> 00:50:06.900
So, Carlton Lake. Okay.
1192
00:50:06.920 --> 00:50:07.079
Yeah.
1193
00:50:07.550 --> 00:50:10.630
Is a former lake and wildlife refuge located in the
1194
00:50:10.690 --> 00:50:14.110
northwest section of Carleton, Oregon, which was drained in 1972. Oh,
1195
00:50:14.230 --> 00:50:18.050
my God. So not long before we lived there. Yeah.
1196
00:50:18.070 --> 00:50:22.110
Because I moved there in fourth grade. Was it really drained?
1197
00:50:22.650 --> 00:50:25.750
Because 72, I think, is when we moved there. Crazy.
1198
00:50:27.780 --> 00:50:30.659
It served as a local wildlife refuge before its removal.
1199
00:50:31.219 --> 00:50:35.159
The lake was officially drained in 1972. The sloping vacant
1200
00:50:35.219 --> 00:50:38.409
land that since once overlooked the body of water remains
1201
00:50:38.889 --> 00:50:40.750
a potential site for a future park.
1202
00:50:40.570 --> 00:50:41.750
And open space development.
1203
00:50:42.730 --> 00:50:43.110
Okay.
1204
00:50:44.030 --> 00:50:45.050
Yeah.
1205
00:50:46.630 --> 00:50:48.530
I just think that's really weird. I think it's really
1206
00:50:48.570 --> 00:50:51.510
weird that it was really just moments, but I thought
1207
00:50:51.530 --> 00:50:56.070
it was way back in the 30s or 40s, not
1208
00:50:56.150 --> 00:50:57.170
the 60s and 70s.
1209
00:50:57.230 --> 00:50:57.869
That's crazy.
1210
00:50:58.750 --> 00:51:03.719
That's crazy. Because we, again, moved there when I was 10.
1211
00:51:03.719 --> 00:51:07.869
Which would have been 1972. So how I missed that,
1212
00:51:07.889 --> 00:51:08.250
I don't know.
1213
00:51:08.489 --> 00:51:11.130
Did you ever see this lake? No. No.
1214
00:51:11.909 --> 00:51:13.510
Because, you know, I lived out in the country and
1215
00:51:13.550 --> 00:51:14.250
we didn't travel.
1216
00:51:14.789 --> 00:51:17.050
I wonder what it looked like, though.
1217
00:51:17.179 --> 00:51:20.619
I was a poor kid in the country who only
1218
00:51:20.679 --> 00:51:22.400
had to live on the farm with no shoes.
1219
00:51:22.960 --> 00:51:27.639
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Sure. Yeah, sure, you.
1220
00:51:27.679 --> 00:51:28.380
Yeah, sure.
1221
00:51:28.530 --> 00:51:30.869
Yeah, sure. I wonder what the lake looked like. Oh,
1222
00:51:31.110 --> 00:51:35.389
there's a whole Wikipedia for it. That's crazy bananas. Carlton
1223
00:51:35.449 --> 00:51:40.989
Lake Wildlife Refuge. Wait, yeah. Crazy. But I want to
1224
00:51:41.050 --> 00:51:46.130
see pictures. Why are you guys all so stupid? Same, same.
1225
00:51:46.659 --> 00:51:50.639
Because that just seems really interesting to me. Yeah. I
1226
00:51:50.679 --> 00:51:52.659
remember one time looking up a bunch of things about Carlton,
1227
00:51:52.699 --> 00:51:54.900
like when it was founded and all the historical buildings
1228
00:51:54.980 --> 00:51:57.300
and shit. I don't remember any of it because, like,
1229
00:51:57.420 --> 00:52:01.920
who cares? Nothing really cool happened there. But there used
1230
00:52:01.960 --> 00:52:05.949
to be this... the log cabin was that tall brick
1231
00:52:05.989 --> 00:52:10.469
building and it burned down. It's crazy. Cause I remember
1232
00:52:10.489 --> 00:52:12.630
it being when they were, when it was very, very young.
1233
00:52:12.869 --> 00:52:16.130
And then it was a fenced off pit for ever.
1234
00:52:17.190 --> 00:52:19.070
And that shit would fill with water too. And I want,
1235
00:52:19.110 --> 00:52:22.300
you know, I'd peek through the fence slats at all,
1236
00:52:22.320 --> 00:52:24.400
like the gross algae and shit growing in the water.
1237
00:52:24.460 --> 00:52:28.559
And I'd be like aliens, monsters. You're here to get us,
1238
00:52:28.599 --> 00:52:29.159
you know, gross.
1239
00:52:30.650 --> 00:52:31.610
Death by a wildlife.
1240
00:52:31.670 --> 00:52:32.329
Yeah.
1241
00:52:32.849 --> 00:52:33.610
No, I get that.
1242
00:52:33.809 --> 00:52:36.150
In the middle of the town, though, so I'm like, nope,
1243
00:52:36.210 --> 00:52:40.349
they've crossed the borders. I.
1244
00:52:40.449 --> 00:52:44.059
In 1996, I want to say, is the year that
1245
00:52:44.099 --> 00:52:44.920
it flooded here.
1246
00:52:44.940 --> 00:52:45.880
Okay. Because it was.
1247
00:52:45.960 --> 00:52:47.300
The rain just never stopped.
1248
00:52:47.420 --> 00:52:48.440
Yeah.
1249
00:52:48.460 --> 00:52:48.530
And.
1250
00:52:48.820 --> 00:52:49.519
God was mad.
1251
00:52:49.739 --> 00:52:52.559
God was mad. God is good. But God is mad.
1252
00:52:53.000 --> 00:52:56.539
So God flooded the... It's like, build your ark and
1253
00:52:56.559 --> 00:52:57.219
get the fuck out of here.
1254
00:52:57.239 --> 00:53:02.920
Yeah. No, but the river... That runs through downtown. Okay. Was.
1255
00:53:03.880 --> 00:53:04.440
In the park.
1256
00:53:04.860 --> 00:53:05.710
That's terrible. Because it had.
1257
00:53:05.719 --> 00:53:06.059
It had.
1258
00:53:06.300 --> 00:53:06.599
You know.
1259
00:53:06.619 --> 00:53:07.559
Breached the banks.
1260
00:53:07.800 --> 00:53:08.059
Yeah.
1261
00:53:08.960 --> 00:53:11.989
But what's crazier than that. Is if you go downtown.
1262
00:53:12.170 --> 00:53:12.690
Yeah.
1263
00:53:12.710 --> 00:53:14.969
To the buildings. The old old buildings. That are right on.
1264
00:53:15.329 --> 00:53:18.090
Kind of around. Yeah. On several of them. You'll see
1265
00:53:18.150 --> 00:53:21.789
a high watermark. That was the year. That it really flooded.
1266
00:53:21.809 --> 00:53:22.190
I hate that.
1267
00:53:22.269 --> 00:53:23.389
And the watermark.
1268
00:53:23.550 --> 00:53:24.280
On these buildings.
1269
00:53:24.380 --> 00:53:25.119
Is probably like.
1270
00:53:25.920 --> 00:53:28.739
You know. Boob high. Yeah. On.
1271
00:53:28.860 --> 00:53:29.139
You know.
1272
00:53:29.300 --> 00:53:30.159
On a regular street. So.
1273
00:53:30.860 --> 00:53:32.400
The flooding was severe.
1274
00:53:32.420 --> 00:53:34.980
Well, and also downtown wasn't, hasn't always been as big
1275
00:53:35.019 --> 00:53:35.559
as it is.
1276
00:53:35.579 --> 00:53:35.880
No.
1277
00:53:36.239 --> 00:53:39.059
So you had like old town and shit, you know, terrifying.
1278
00:53:39.079 --> 00:53:40.800
The idea that there's that much water.
1279
00:53:40.820 --> 00:53:41.360
Okay.
1280
00:53:41.440 --> 00:53:45.079
And one of my friends lives in a houseboat.
1281
00:53:45.400 --> 00:53:45.579
Yeah.
1282
00:53:45.980 --> 00:53:49.900
And of course, houseboat, river floods, it just rises up, right?
1283
00:53:50.139 --> 00:53:50.860
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
1284
00:53:50.889 --> 00:53:53.449
Whatever. Yeah. But she said to get out of her house,
1285
00:53:54.469 --> 00:53:57.929
she had to get in a boat and boat through
1286
00:53:58.090 --> 00:53:58.670
Oaks Park.
1287
00:53:59.170 --> 00:53:59.809
Crazy. Crazy.
1288
00:54:00.300 --> 00:54:02.119
And Oaks Park is a little theme park that's right
1289
00:54:02.239 --> 00:54:02.719
on the river.
1290
00:54:02.739 --> 00:54:02.820
Yeah.
1291
00:54:02.980 --> 00:54:07.300
You know, which rides and all these things. But the
1292
00:54:07.539 --> 00:54:10.539
water was deep enough that she literally took her boat
1293
00:54:10.659 --> 00:54:13.119
into the park and then got to the other side
1294
00:54:13.159 --> 00:54:16.900
where the cars and stuff were because it was that bad.
1295
00:54:17.380 --> 00:54:21.539
And so, yeah, that idea is crazy to me. And flooding. Well,
1296
00:54:21.559 --> 00:54:24.980
because water. The biggest things to me that are frightening
1297
00:54:25.380 --> 00:54:26.599
are really fire and water.
1298
00:54:26.760 --> 00:54:26.989
Yeah.
1299
00:54:27.219 --> 00:54:28.639
You know, because they're so destructive.
1300
00:54:29.070 --> 00:54:29.340
Okay.
1301
00:54:29.550 --> 00:54:29.639
Yeah.
1302
00:54:30.329 --> 00:54:33.949
There was the Willamette Valley Flood of 1996. Yep. The
1303
00:54:33.989 --> 00:54:36.820
larger series of floods of the Pacific Northwest. Yeah. Yeah,
1304
00:54:36.840 --> 00:54:41.920
it's so scary. So, so scary. Like, I don't know.
1305
00:54:41.980 --> 00:54:45.739
I think natural disasters are scary in general. But damn,
1306
00:54:45.760 --> 00:54:48.110
the idea of it just, things flooding so quickly. Yeah.
1307
00:54:49.289 --> 00:54:51.730
Yeah, it's terrifying to me.
1308
00:54:51.750 --> 00:54:54.869
Yeah. So, no thank you. Yeah, it's not going to happen.
1309
00:54:54.889 --> 00:54:58.539
It's just sprinkling refinements. We don't need to build an
1310
00:54:58.559 --> 00:55:01.030
ark yet. The world's upside down. So, like, it's probably
1311
00:55:01.070 --> 00:55:02.659
not going to rain that much this winter. And next
1312
00:55:02.679 --> 00:55:03.280
year we're going to burn up.
1313
00:55:03.280 --> 00:55:05.630
The world's upside down. Wouldn't all the water just blow up?
1314
00:55:05.630 --> 00:55:09.710
Then why aren't we on our heads? Oh, my God.
1315
00:55:09.750 --> 00:55:11.369
I have to share this one thing before we go.
1316
00:55:11.550 --> 00:55:11.849
Okay.
1317
00:55:12.130 --> 00:55:13.550
So, my daughter.
1318
00:55:13.570 --> 00:55:15.170
I'm right here.
1319
00:55:15.190 --> 00:55:17.610
Who's 17. Who's 20 years younger than me.
1320
00:55:17.610 --> 00:55:18.019
I do look 17.
1321
00:55:18.010 --> 00:55:18.170
Yep.
1322
00:55:18.190 --> 00:55:18.260
Uh.
1323
00:55:21.969 --> 00:55:24.590
Watches a lot of TikTok. I agreed with you. I said, yep.
1324
00:55:24.610 --> 00:55:27.909
What do you want? In the rudest way possible. Yep.
1325
00:55:27.949 --> 00:55:30.489
No, the rude way would have been, yeah.
1326
00:55:30.510 --> 00:55:31.949
Yeah. Sure can.
1327
00:55:33.769 --> 00:55:35.280
But she watches a lot of.
1328
00:55:35.260 --> 00:55:36.880
Like TikTok and YouTube and crap.
1329
00:55:36.940 --> 00:55:37.500
It's her news.
1330
00:55:37.519 --> 00:55:39.760
She's got to watch her news. And she believes.
1331
00:55:39.480 --> 00:55:40.260
Everything she sees.
1332
00:55:40.340 --> 00:55:41.139
Gotta watch her programs.
1333
00:55:42.199 --> 00:55:46.500
So there was this musician who died earlier this year.
1334
00:55:46.559 --> 00:55:48.929
His name is Oliver Tree. Never heard of him.
1335
00:55:49.210 --> 00:55:51.650
I highly recommend you look him up just so you
1336
00:55:51.670 --> 00:55:53.650
can laugh at his haircut. Because he has a bowl
1337
00:55:53.690 --> 00:55:54.309
cut mullet.
1338
00:55:54.829 --> 00:55:55.210
A bullet?
1339
00:55:55.630 --> 00:56:01.539
A bullet. He died when his helicopter collided with another
1340
00:56:01.579 --> 00:56:03.639
helicopter in South America. Okay?
1341
00:56:03.900 --> 00:56:04.199
Sure.
1342
00:56:06.360 --> 00:56:10.679
Grace says to me, you know, Oliver Tree died because
1343
00:56:10.719 --> 00:56:12.500
he knew too much. I was like, what?
1344
00:56:12.780 --> 00:56:13.260
Girl!
1345
00:56:13.280 --> 00:56:14.409
I was like, what?
1346
00:56:15.150 --> 00:56:17.849
What do you mean? Are you a prophet? What are
1347
00:56:17.869 --> 00:56:19.010
you saying?
1348
00:56:19.510 --> 00:56:21.630
He knew government secrets. What are you trying to say?
1349
00:56:21.690 --> 00:56:22.170
He knew too much.
1350
00:56:22.570 --> 00:56:24.789
Well, he flew over the ice wall.
1351
00:56:24.809 --> 00:56:26.750
I was like, I'm going to kill myself.
1352
00:56:27.050 --> 00:56:30.610
Oh, my God. I said, so you've fallen into some
1353
00:56:30.710 --> 00:56:34.719
flat earth propaganda. Because, you know, the flat earthers believe. Well,
1354
00:56:34.860 --> 00:56:38.920
there's an ice wall all around the perimeter of the globe.
1355
00:56:39.000 --> 00:56:42.409
That's not a globe. The disk. The disk, yeah. And
1356
00:56:42.429 --> 00:56:45.409
there's military all around that to keep you from it.
1357
00:56:45.420 --> 00:56:45.760
Right.
1358
00:56:46.119 --> 00:56:47.900
So that you don't know the secrets and take pictures.
1359
00:56:47.920 --> 00:56:49.500
Well, but okay. But also there's the ice wall, the
1360
00:56:49.579 --> 00:56:52.440
idea of like, there's this giant ice wall and people
1361
00:56:52.519 --> 00:56:54.420
sail to it and you can sail through it. And
1362
00:56:54.440 --> 00:56:58.559
on the other side is like advanced civilizations that we've
1363
00:56:58.599 --> 00:57:00.960
never seen. And like, we've been kept from all of it.
1364
00:57:00.960 --> 00:57:01.920
Like it's also that.
1365
00:57:02.239 --> 00:57:03.099
Oh, I've never heard that.
1366
00:57:03.119 --> 00:57:03.340
Yeah.
1367
00:57:03.360 --> 00:57:03.699
Yeah.
1368
00:57:03.719 --> 00:57:03.860
Yeah.
1369
00:57:03.909 --> 00:57:06.650
So it's like, So was that what he knew too
1370
00:57:06.690 --> 00:57:07.010
much about?
1371
00:57:07.030 --> 00:57:08.510
He flew over the ice wall? Yeah, he got over
1372
00:57:08.530 --> 00:57:09.409
the ice wall to.
1373
00:57:09.909 --> 00:57:11.590
The aliens were there or whatever.
1374
00:57:11.610 --> 00:57:14.150
I don't know, they're advanced humans or something. Like the
1375
00:57:14.230 --> 00:57:16.170
Anunnaki or there's some gods or.
1376
00:57:16.190 --> 00:57:18.309
So why are we being kept from them just because
1377
00:57:18.329 --> 00:57:20.110
we'll colonize their land?
1378
00:57:20.260 --> 00:57:22.159
I just need you to do a little Google search
1379
00:57:22.320 --> 00:57:26.739
of things from the CIA that were considered, you know,
1380
00:57:27.159 --> 00:57:30.480
confidential or whatever. You know, what is it called when
1381
00:57:30.500 --> 00:57:31.039
they're secret?
1382
00:57:31.920 --> 00:57:32.460
Confidential?
1383
00:57:33.099 --> 00:57:36.619
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Classified. The
1384
00:57:36.639 --> 00:57:38.449
things that they did that were classified that they kept
1385
00:57:38.469 --> 00:57:40.889
from the American public and then decided to say, okay,
1386
00:57:40.909 --> 00:57:43.210
you can now learn about this because there's lots of
1387
00:57:43.269 --> 00:57:44.769
crazy shit.
1388
00:57:45.030 --> 00:57:47.030
I really don't think an ice wall all around the
1389
00:57:47.090 --> 00:57:48.289
world is one of those things.
1390
00:57:48.309 --> 00:57:52.559
No, no, no, me either. But there is precedent for
1391
00:57:52.619 --> 00:57:57.480
governments keeping lots of information. Oh, yes, of course. And their,
1392
00:57:57.579 --> 00:57:58.880
you know, ill doings.
1393
00:57:59.300 --> 00:58:03.530
I think that it's very funny that the president now
1394
00:58:03.969 --> 00:58:09.420
keeps releasing random files and stuff just to try and
1395
00:58:09.460 --> 00:58:11.960
take the heat off himself. It's like, look at this
1396
00:58:12.079 --> 00:58:14.000
thing over here that you never knew about that the
1397
00:58:14.039 --> 00:58:15.820
government lied to you about before I was in government.
1398
00:58:15.980 --> 00:58:18.420
And it's like, we don't care.
1399
00:58:18.659 --> 00:58:20.159
We don't care. Did you see that he posted a
1400
00:58:20.199 --> 00:58:25.260
picture of an AI photo of him and Dolly Parton? No.
1401
00:58:25.280 --> 00:58:27.900
Because there's no real picture of them together. There would
1402
00:58:27.920 --> 00:58:28.340
never be.
1403
00:58:28.360 --> 00:58:32.789
However, please look up when you get off our podcast,
1404
00:58:33.210 --> 00:58:36.530
please look up the foot and type in Google divine
1405
00:58:36.550 --> 00:58:37.829
and Donald Trump.
1406
00:58:37.869 --> 00:58:40.670
Cause that is one of my favorite images. And it's real.
1407
00:58:40.690 --> 00:58:40.949
Yeah.
1408
00:58:41.010 --> 00:58:43.139
It's absolutely real anyway.
1409
00:58:43.179 --> 00:58:45.400
But what's also real is that we got to get
1410
00:58:45.480 --> 00:58:47.760
out of here because I, you know, I have so
1411
00:58:47.860 --> 00:58:52.659
many important things to do, uh, like watching Tik TOK.
1412
00:58:52.679 --> 00:58:54.539
So I can find out more about this ice ball.
1413
00:58:55.340 --> 00:58:58.510
Um, You gotta learn. You gotta learn. I like to
1414
00:58:58.550 --> 00:59:00.840
learn all about it like I'm in school. You know
1415
00:59:00.860 --> 00:59:02.360
what I mean? Like, okay, I learned everything I need
1416
00:59:02.380 --> 00:59:04.039
to know. Now let me recite it back to you
1417
00:59:04.059 --> 00:59:06.139
so I remember it. Like, I love that. The little
1418
00:59:06.469 --> 00:59:09.969
history of bullshit. Because it's not real. What if it is, though?
1419
00:59:11.250 --> 00:59:11.889
Here's what I do.
1420
00:59:11.909 --> 00:59:14.809
That's, I think, what your book should be called. The
1421
00:59:14.849 --> 00:59:16.670
History of Bullshit. The History of Bullshit.
1422
00:59:16.730 --> 00:59:16.809
Yeah.
1423
00:59:16.849 --> 00:59:17.289
I like it.
1424
00:59:17.650 --> 00:59:19.849
It's accurate. But, you know, my whole thing is I
1425
00:59:19.929 --> 00:59:22.030
don't like to say, well, that doesn't exist. That's not real.
1426
00:59:23.050 --> 00:59:25.510
Just because I'm like, what happens if I'm proved wrong?
1427
00:59:26.170 --> 00:59:27.929
I'm not saying it is or it isn't. I'm saying
1428
00:59:27.949 --> 00:59:30.070
I'm not going to go looking for it. And I
1429
00:59:30.110 --> 00:59:32.230
don't actually care. But I'm not going to be so
1430
00:59:32.269 --> 00:59:37.010
presumptuous to say, like, aliens don't exist. Or whatever, you know. Right. Whatever,
1431
00:59:37.030 --> 00:59:39.829
I don't know. Whatever. Let's leave, bitch. I'm sick of it.
1432
00:59:40.289 --> 00:59:42.050
Well, we are going to leave and then we're going
1433
00:59:42.090 --> 00:59:43.650
to go searching for aliens.
1434
00:59:43.889 --> 00:59:47.170
Yes. The Loch Ness Monster. Yes.
1435
00:59:47.449 --> 00:59:48.190
Sasquatch.
1436
00:59:48.829 --> 00:59:55.289
I'm right here, bitch. Howard. My man, Sasquatch, he's at work.
1437
00:59:55.730 --> 00:59:58.409
I know he at work. The jolly redhead giant.
1438
00:59:58.530 --> 01:00:00.949
I know him. El Gringo Rojo.
1439
01:00:01.210 --> 01:00:01.429
Yeah.
1440
01:00:02.150 --> 01:00:03.469
Anyway. Yeah.
1441
01:00:03.489 --> 01:00:05.420
So thanks for spending another hour with us.
1442
01:00:06.059 --> 01:00:07.460
We love y'all. We do.
1443
01:00:07.480 --> 01:00:11.219
We're glad you listened. Yeah. And we'll be back next week.
1444
01:00:11.260 --> 01:00:11.659
We'll talk.
1445
01:00:11.699 --> 01:00:13.000
If you want to talk to us.
1446
01:00:13.239 --> 01:00:13.500
Yeah.
1447
01:00:14.400 --> 01:00:15.360
How might they do that?
1448
01:00:15.559 --> 01:00:19.590
You know, send us an, you know, an electronic mail
1449
01:00:20.269 --> 01:00:23.289
at it would. Is that what the E stands for?
1450
01:00:23.309 --> 01:00:27.449
The electronic mail. Send me some electronic mails. I knew
1451
01:00:27.489 --> 01:00:30.750
that I was kidding. She didn't. It would seem as
1452
01:00:30.889 --> 01:00:32.530
though at gmail.com.
1453
01:00:32.789 --> 01:00:33.750
Yeah.
1454
01:00:34.550 --> 01:00:36.909
And we'll talk at you next week.
1455
01:00:37.030 --> 01:00:39.179
We sure will. Bye.
1456
01:00:39.739 --> 01:00:40.920
It would seem as though.
