So, Yeti, go ahead and tell us what your pulse looks like. How are you doing today?
SPEAKER_03:Well, I want to share this funny little story with you real quick.
SPEAKER_04:Share that story.
SPEAKER_03:Yeah, it kind of bled in today a little bit. So the other night, or last night, I was playing some Xbox, and I was on vacation this week, and I decided about 3 a.m. I was going to call it quits, came upstairs. I was like, you know, before I do this, I have to go take a piss. Oh. So I walked into the bathroom to go take a piss, and as I was peeing, I was like... Do I got a little rumble down there? Do I got a drop? Do I got poo-poo? Yeah, you know? And I was like, you know what? I was like, you know what? Let me just be safe. I don't want to wake up in an hour and be like, oh, I really did have to go, and I just kind of pushed it underneath the rug. Yeah, yeah. And I was like, I have my hands in my pocket, and I was like, oh, my phone's in my pocket. I was like, you know what I don't need? I don't want to drop my drawers and the phone hits the ground and it breaks, right? Are
SPEAKER_01:you following?
SPEAKER_03:I'm with you. So I reach in my pocket and I go to take the phone out and at 3 in the morning all I hear is
SPEAKER_01:BASH! I've never gotten into some nasty ass water! So quickly in my life. I reached in that motherfucker. I pulled
SPEAKER_03:my phone out. I'm causing up a storm. And keep in mind, I have a pregnant wife in the room next to me. So I'm rinsing my phone off. I get a warning on my phone that says there's moisture in your phone. Ah!
SPEAKER_01:I dropped it in pee water. There's more than moisture. I'm
SPEAKER_03:rinsing the phone off because I don't want to drip pee from the fucking bathroom to the kitchen. I have to fucking clean it. So I rinse it. I go in the kitchen and I use some soap. And I'm washing my phone at three in the morning. I'm elbows deep. I've taken out the otter box. I'm washing cracks and crevices. And I hear feet shuffling from the bedroom. And it's my wife. And she said, she heard it. She said, You dropped your phone in the toilet, honey. I didn't answer her. I just continued to clean and she went back to bed. Oh,
SPEAKER_04:that is too funny, bro. You dropped your phone in fucking piss water. Like what? What? You know, you know, okay. Like I thought I find it. The reason why I think I laugh so hard. Number one is because of the fact that it's like, What did you say, like 3 a.m.? Something like early in the morning? That's crucial. That sucks. Like, that fucking sucks. That sucks to be like, okay, I relieved myself. I'm wrapping it up. And then all of a sudden... Before you flush, that's tough. Like, that's tough. Like, my guy, that is very tough. But the reason why I find it the most funny is because I've recently... When I say recently, I want to say maybe in the last three months. It happened one time. It was the first time it ever happened. I also dropped my phone in the toilet. Now, I didn't have anything in it. I had just got done, okay? I had just wrapped everything up. Toilet was flushed. I washed my hands, right? dried them, and then I grabbed it off the counter, and somehow, someway, I don't know, my thumb just decided to quit. And it just went beeline. And you know, I was gonna die for it, but I went, nope. It just hit the water, and I was like, I knew this day was gonna come. I knew it. I was like, it's inevitable, right? Everybody somewhere, eventually, drops their fucking phone in the toilet, and it is the worst thing ever, because I'm like, motherfucker! Because now I've got to reach in there, right? Even though I flushed, right, even though I flushed, it's still kind of like, ugh. It is, it is. So I tore everything off, you know tore it all off yes yeah and i was like okay break this off and then i grabbed nothing but just lysol wipes and just wiped everything i'm like everything's got it you got it air dry and all kinds of shit i was like i'm taking like three fucking lysol wipes to each side of this phone
SPEAKER_03:so after when i was washing it with the dawn soap she came out she's like all you're using is dawn soap she's like you're not gonna use like Clorox or something. So I'm like, okay, fine, I'll use Clorox too. So then I double cleaned it. I used Dawn and then I used Clorox wipes. Needless to say, I didn't get done doing that until like 3.30 and at that point I had forgot about my shit. Go figure, right? So then I just went to the room and went to bed.
SPEAKER_04:He said, fuck it. I don't got to shit anymore. Fuck this whole thing. Moments passed. Now I just want to go to
SPEAKER_03:bed. Exactly.
SPEAKER_04:That's fair. That sucks. That absolutely fucking
SPEAKER_03:sucks. How I said it bled in today is because I was nervous about waking up because I did some research and they said that if you do drop your phone in water, you want to make sure it's 100% dry before you charge it or do anything like that.
SPEAKER_04:Yeah, it makes sense.
SPEAKER_03:So it's been not charging. I have wireless chargers that I've been placing it on, but I haven't been hooking it up in the charge port.
SPEAKER_04:No, I got you. Now, usually, especially with the OtterBox, I mean, it pretty much keeps... save for the speaker a little bit. Right, right. It keeps it pretty... And the great part about that, though, is because you have a... What do you have? S23? S22?
SPEAKER_03:Yeah, it's a couple years old.
SPEAKER_04:But it is water-resistant. It is. If you drop it in and then grab it out real quick, you should be fine, but definitely be on the safe side and let it dry out. but that sucks. That sucks to drop your phone in P water at 3 a.m. Like, nah, like that, like literally I'm like, this is how my day is going to fucking start. This is how my day is going to start before the sun comes up. That is not like I'm calling off of work. Any kind of activities I have for that day canceled. I'm going to be sleeping the rest of the day. Why? Because I dropped my phone in P water. That is a bad omen. I'm going to stay on the streets forever.
SPEAKER_03:It
SPEAKER_04:sucked, bro. Yeah, I would have cried. I will say, though, my
SPEAKER_03:phone is probably the cleanest it's ever been.
SPEAKER_04:Oh, I can imagine. I can imagine. It's like, this is the first time I've ever cleaned my phone off. Yeah, I bet it was fucking brown when you got done with it. Like, the wipes and everything, just nasty as fuck. Like, yeah, that's what you're putting up to your fucking face every day. I
SPEAKER_03:found breadcrumbs in it. No, I'm
SPEAKER_04:just kidding. There was a leftover mozzarella stick in there. And I was like, I wonder if it's still good. Don't figure, right? Right. That's
SPEAKER_03:where I placed it.
SPEAKER_04:Yeah, that's fucking wild. But I'm glad you retrieved your phone from the pee water. And
SPEAKER_03:it's still working, so right now I'm pretty good.
SPEAKER_04:Good, good. I just
SPEAKER_03:have a funny story to share now.
SPEAKER_04:No, yeah, that's hilarious. And I'll tell you what, god damn, that's... I'm sorry. I'm so
SPEAKER_03:sorry. I told our nephew that, and he... He cracked up laughing at me.
SPEAKER_04:I bet he did, because he was probably like, oh, oh, uncle, uncle? My uncle doing that? Reaching into a peat water?
SPEAKER_03:As I was telling the story, once I said I dropped it, he's like, I knew you were going to say that. And he was laughing.
SPEAKER_04:He's a smart one, that child. But okay, well, unfortunately, your day kind of started off kind of pissy. But, you know, you made it. Here you are, and now here we are doing all this. Since we don't have anybody else to talk to, I guess I can tell you how I'm doing.
SPEAKER_03:Yeah, tell me how you're doing.
SPEAKER_04:I'm chilling, you know. I've been playing a lot of Gran Turismo 7 and Death Stranding 2. I've been bouncing back and forth. Literally, what I'll do is I'll get home, I'll shower, and then I'll jump on Gran Turismo 7. do my daily workout because you got to do like i think it's 26.9 miles um in the game uh again it's cumulative and and you know i just have i've been having a lot of fun doing that and making awesome liveries for so many cars and i love watching the replays because now with this um with this setup that i have it's been so much fun especially like It is a huge difference from the controller. Is it? It's a huge difference because when you're oversteering or understeering, you definitely feel it. You feel the wheels slipping out from under. Yes. That's the feedback you get from the steering wheel, if you get the right one, obviously. When I was making some corners, especially in a lot of rear-wheel drive cars, like your Chargers, your Challengers, the Corvettes, stuff like that, When I'm going around a corner and I give it a little bit too much gas, you can feel it. You feel the back wheels basically slipping. You feel that ass end coming around. I was like, you don't get that with a controller. You get the rumbling, sure, but to feel that slipping? I was like, yo, that's dope.
SPEAKER_03:I wonder how that transport fires into actual driving? I
SPEAKER_04:mean, so with Gran Turismo, it is like a driving simulator, so I would... I mean, Gran Turismo, the movie came out, and they literally had people go from racing on Gran Turismo to racing in real life, so it's
SPEAKER_03:like... I'm just curious if it... If we were to throw you in a car, let's say a high output vehicle, and you attempted to do what you do on Gran Turismo without ever doing it in real life, but since you do it on Gran Turismo, do you think you could do it, or do you think you'd be too scared to do it?
SPEAKER_04:I wouldn't be... I think...
SPEAKER_03:Scared is the wrong word to use there, but like... I mean, I feel like you would be timid in the beginning.
SPEAKER_04:Yes, because the safety net is not there. It is just a video game, and if I crash or something, I'm not getting injured. But in real life, yeah, I don't get to hit restart. Restart? Like old dude said in Gran Turismo. I can't do that. Once I hit the wall, that's it. Like, well, I don't have a car now. So, I don't know. That was me. Yeah, that was me. That was me. Sorry, guys. Sorry. But I don't know. I don't know how I would do. I think I still got some hours to put in with it because I feel like I can hit lines a little better now. I'm getting faster at hitting those corners. We'll see how it goes. We'll see how it goes. And I know that... Who do you call it? I know Grizz and Templeton both suggested, now that I've gotten into that, to kind of start... kind of start streaming. I'm on the fence, but I'm getting prepared.
SPEAKER_03:I mean, what do you have to lose? If you're going to game, like, you may have, I mean, I know, like, on one hand, I don't make it be a job, but then on the other hand, like, what happens if you do tend to blow up? Because you don't know what's going to happen. Oh, man. You know what I'm saying?
SPEAKER_04:No, I'm with you. I'm with you. And, you know, the all... ultimately i'm gonna be gaming anyway right so
SPEAKER_03:right that's what it comes down to you're gonna be gaming anyway gonna be gaming anyway
SPEAKER_04:but uh you know i've thought about it and i've kind of thought of like a um my uh my schedule uh figured i'd game monday wednesday fridays and fridays i was kind of thinking like do like fortnight fridays like play fortnight on fridays and then game one day i'm out of the out of the weekend so have that day kind of float If I want to game on Saturday, I'll game on Saturday and leave Sunday open. If I don't feel like doing it Saturday, I'll game on Sunday and leave Saturday open.
SPEAKER_03:How long would you game for?
SPEAKER_04:So I'm thinking during the week, I might do at max three hours. Because that's basically what I'm doing right now, depending on the time I get home. So if I get home at 6, 6.30, I shower. Might grab something to eat if I'm hungry. And then by the time I get on, it's probably about 7, 7.30. And then I'll play until about 11, 11.30. And then I'll go to bed. So, I mean, do that Monday, Wednesday, Friday. And then Saturday or Sunday, maybe do four hours instead of three. And then just take the rest of it, you know, like later on in the day when everything's done. Like Sunday, like if I game Sunday, it would have to be early. And not late because I got to work Monday. It's Saturday. I can game whatever time. I just want to make sure I get all my shit done. Shit around the house, cleaning, lawn done, all that. But we'll see. I got the capture card. I got a little holder here for my headset and my controller. Obviously, I got this guy ready to rock and roll. I can set this thing up. I don't know if I'll be doing TikTok. I think I might just stick to stream. Twitch might just stick to Twitch and see how that goes. I know Twitch is a little bit harder to get followers at because it's so saturated and stuff like that. TikTok is usually where people start at to gain those followers and then tell everybody, move over to Twitch. But I don't know. I think I'm just going to try my hand at Twitch and see what happens. But other than that, yeah, just been working and paying bills. And yeah, that's pretty much it. pretty much it for me nice yeah yeah yeah so uh but glad we're doing good chilling um you want some entertainment news i can't ask i can't ask who's ready for entertainment just you so entertainment news uh i don't know if you've heard but uh snack wraps are back i have heard
SPEAKER_03:are
SPEAKER_04:you excited
SPEAKER_03:Yes. I was told that the lines at McDonald's, though, are currently outrageous because of these little bastards.
SPEAKER_04:I guess it depends on what time you go, but yes, they are pretty busy, especially during lunch. They have lines wrapping around the building.
SPEAKER_02:Do they really?
SPEAKER_04:Because everybody is super stoked that the snack wraps have returned. Now, they're$2.99. each and they only have two flavors which makes me really sad because before we had ranch barbecue and honey mustard and you had the option of either crispy or grilled so right now we only have one option and that's just the mc crispy strips which are obviously crispy and now we only have ranch and spicy which is like i thought the spicy was going to be like the um
SPEAKER_03:a buffalo
SPEAKER_04:um no i thought it was gonna i thought they were gonna use like the creamy chili sauce that comes with the strips because the creamy chili sauce is actually pretty good like
SPEAKER_03:it's not yeah i did try it's not bad it's
SPEAKER_04:it's pretty good and i thought that's what they were gonna put on it because i was like it does kind of have a little bit of a kick i was like that would be smart that's one that's one hell of a way to you know get people hooked on that shit but it's some totally different sauce that i mean it is it's definitely spicy It's
SPEAKER_02:not even buffalo?
SPEAKER_04:It's not buffalo. I don't know what kind of sauce it is. It's a spicy sauce. I don't know what kind of sauce it is, though. So I'm like, it's probably some kind of special McDonald's spicy sauce. Right,
SPEAKER_03:it's probably like their Big Mac sauce.
SPEAKER_04:Right, which is basically Thousand Islands with one or two added extras in it. Are they good? Because I've tried them. I got the mix and match, so I can try both. They're not bad. I... I don't know if they're worth$2.99. That's just me. That's just me. Other people might sell their soul for these things because they were gone for 10 years or however long it was. I mean, I'm not... I feel like McDonald's kind of had the opportunity to bring back some kind of deal. Something close to a dollar
SPEAKER_03:menu. To be honest... If I was CEO of McDonald's, I would have made it a dollar. Hands down. We are going to give you this vintage item and we're going to try to keep it at low cost for the consumers. One item, dude, like the lines you have now would be doubled. I'm telling you that right now because the thing about the aura of a snack wrap is it gives you the healthy feeling. Right. You don't have to pack a lunch. You can go to McDonald's and just get a snack. That's the whole purpose of it.
SPEAKER_02:Right.
SPEAKER_03:Is not to get a burger, not to get fries. Keep it light. Keep it simple. And I'm not gaining a bajillion pounds if I eat one or two.
SPEAKER_04:Yeah. It's amazing that Um, especially when they had the grilled snack wraps, like there were, there were actually a lot of people that went on a weight loss journey and that's what they did for lunch because they didn't want to pack anything. And they didn't like the idea of, uh, like making meals, like meal prepping. They didn't like that idea. So what did they do? They went to McDonald's and they got a grilled snack wrap with, and they might, they might've did it like, you know, no sauce, you know, I don't want, I don't want to age and just do the lettuce cheese and the, and the tortilla. And they, they, I mean, it worked it worked because it's it's not again like you said it's not a heavy meal and it's definitely not something that's going to stick around forever it's not you know it's not like a fucking big mac or you know a whopper or you know something like that right and something light like you said something light something that you know i can eat two of and not feel guilty
SPEAKER_03:Right, exactly. And that's the whole purpose of a snack wrap. And here's the other thing. Hence the name. It's a snack. That's why it came up with that name. And now you're going to charge me$2.99? I mean...
SPEAKER_04:It could be worse. It could be worse, but$2.99 and then you have to add tax, so it's a$3 snack wrap.
SPEAKER_03:Right, and then if, I mean, granted, if you have your own beverage, but if you don't, you order a drink, I mean...
SPEAKER_04:And if you get the meal, which I did, it's$10. It's$10 for a fucking meal.
SPEAKER_03:That's crazy. How many do you get? One or two?
SPEAKER_04:You get two snack wraps, fries, and a drink. That's
SPEAKER_03:still crazy. That's insane.
SPEAKER_04:I know, because if you buy two snack wraps, right? I mean, I get it, because as a meal, yeah, sure, if you buy two snack wraps, a fry, and a drink, you're probably going to spend about that much anyway, so I got it. I'm with you.
SPEAKER_03:But the thing is, most people who get the snack wrap aren't going there for a snack wrap meal. They get just a snack wrap. Just the snack wraps. Nobody gives a shit about the fucking meal. No, No, nobody cares. The people that want that, to be honest, to be fair, are probably not even drinking soda. The only thing that they're ingesting is going to be probably their morning shake, protein shake, and then water the rest of the day.
SPEAKER_04:Yep. And then they're like, you know what? I'm a little hungry. I'm going to go to McDonald's, get me a little snack wrap. You know what I mean? Because it's not a lot of calories, not a lot of carbs. Yeah, I could do that. I could do that. I could pull that off. I could swing that.
SPEAKER_03:I would be fair to say that if I had to throw a percentage, I'd probably say at least 80% are drinking just water on those who order the snack wraps.
SPEAKER_04:Probably. Probably.
SPEAKER_03:That feels like a safe number to throw out there.
SPEAKER_04:I could see that. I would be curious as to the statistics of that and the people ordering snack wraps for lunch and or dinner. Are you just doing water and two snack wraps? Because honestly, that sounds like that would fill me. That's what I'm saying. Yeah, I'd be good.
SPEAKER_03:Right, and again, two snack wraps may be even pushing it. I don't know if I would want to spend$5,$6 for two snack wraps.
SPEAKER_04:Yeah, I don't know. Again, after trying them, I don't think I would want to spend$6 for two snack wraps. I think I would just want one snack wrap and call it a day.
SPEAKER_03:So the snack wraps are going to be on our list to try this weekend at some point.
SPEAKER_04:Yeah, I do recommend trying them just so you can have your own thoughts about it.
SPEAKER_03:Now, did you try... Okay, have you tried the Burger Kings? What are they called? The crispy wraps?
SPEAKER_04:I've tried theirs. I have tried their wraps. I've tried Popeye's. Popeye's now has wraps. Oh, I didn't know that. I'm not going to lie to you. I was not impressed.
SPEAKER_03:Really?
SPEAKER_04:With Popeye's wraps. I was not impressed.
SPEAKER_03:It's interesting because I want to say they probably hold the crown for chicken sandwiches.
SPEAKER_04:So that's where I was thrown off at. I was like, how are you a chicken joint? And you missed on this one. Right, right, right. I got done with it. I was like, I'm not. When we tried the Popeye's chicken sandwich the first time, You remember when we got it? Fucking phenomenal. It did something to me. I was like, oh my god, this sandwich. I understand the hype. Right. I got it. But when I tried those snack wraps, I was just like, eh. No. This isn't it. I was like, I'm sorry, Popeyes, but you missed. You missed on this. And I don't know what to say. Airball. Holy fucking airball. How'd you miss on chicken, bro? Like, What? Right. That's wild to me. So, yeah, I don't know. The snack wraps, am I excited they're back? Sure, because it's like a nostalgic kind of feel now. You know what I mean? But for me right now, you could have kept them. You know what I
SPEAKER_03:mean? Right, right. That's fair. And here's the other thing. So what I've read is people aren't liking the chicken. They're saying it's not as crispy as the original.
SPEAKER_04:No, no. The Chicken Selects definitely had thicker, more crispier breading on it than these ones. Now, the breading on the new strips, the McCrispy strips they have, are much more flavorful than the Selects were. I will say that. So, like, do you give a little to get a little? I don't know. I
SPEAKER_03:mean, to be honest with you, I prefer things to be soft when they enter my mouth.
SPEAKER_04:Wait. Wait. Wait. Wait, wait. Or the joke.
SPEAKER_03:I'm just saying that I don't want to have to fight my food when I'm trying to eat it. I just feel like even with hard candy, I don't eat hard candy often because... Again.
SPEAKER_04:It's hard candy. It's hard when it goes in your mouth.
SPEAKER_03:I don't
SPEAKER_04:like hard things in my mouth.
SPEAKER_03:Glass it
SPEAKER_04:all day. Anyway. I will recommend you and Mrs. Yeti to try out the snack wraps this weekend and get your take on it. Like I said, I'm Take it or leave it for me. The rest of the world, I mean, if you like them, great. Fire off in the comments. Let us know how you feel about it. Are you excited the snack wraps are back? Did you miss them? Is it only because you're looking at these things through rose-colored glasses that you're like, oh, these snack wraps are phenomenal, or are you going to be real with yourself and say, they could have done better?
SPEAKER_03:Okay, so if you rank the... wraps that you've had from Popeyes, Burger King, and McDonald's, what would you say?
SPEAKER_04:I'd probably say Burger King, McDonald's, Popeyes. First, second, third.
SPEAKER_03:Have you tried Chick-fil-A's?
SPEAKER_04:I don't know if they have a snack like that kind of snack wrap. They do have a chicken wrap.
SPEAKER_03:Yeah, they got a chicken wrap. Is it not the same? I think it's just bigger.
SPEAKER_04:No, it's got a lot. I mean, it is literally like, it's like almost a chicken salad in a wrap. Oh, is it? It's thick. It's got a lot of lettuce. Now, their wrap is fucking, like, you can't, nah, I'm not even going to put that. That's in its own category. Chick-fil-A fucking chicken wrap is definitely in its own category, especially with their avocado ranch. Right. Nah, man. Nah, nah, nah, nah. I'm not even going to put that in that category.
SPEAKER_03:But I will say... No, I mean... So they are bigger. These are$8.25. Yeah, they're much bigger. They're not wraps, but I mean, looking at the picture, they've got the tortilla, a circle of lettuce, a circle of cheese, and then a circle of chicken.
SPEAKER_04:Yep, and let me tell you, that shit...
SPEAKER_03:See, but here's the thing, though. Here's the thing, though. These are the different sauces you can add into it. Avocado lime ranch. Garden herb ranch. Fat-free honey mustard. Balsamic. Zesty apple cider vinaigrette. Creamy salad dressing. Light Italian dressing. I guess you could do the same thing at McDonald's. Just say no sauce and then add the sauce on. But then you're doing extra work. I'm not trying to...
SPEAKER_04:Because when you go to Chick-fil-A, the sauce they give you or the dressing that they give you literally comes on the side. It's literally like a pack of dressing. So that's why I say it's like a chicken salad in a wrap, in a tortilla, wrapped in a tortilla. So that's why I say it's in a league of its own. Because if you're looking at Burger King, Popeyes, and McDonald's, they're literally like, you know, they're... You know, something just to grab on the go. Like Chick-fil-A. Right, Chick-fil-A. Like, I gotta sit down and eat that bitch, because it's
SPEAKER_03:going to... I do! I do! You
SPEAKER_04:only get one of them bitches, and it's thick, they cut it in half, and it takes me a minute to... Yeah, you gotta use both hands. Gotta use both hands. No ditty. No ditty. Gotta use both hands. So it's like... I don't know. I don't know. But for me, it would be, I would say Burger King, McDonald's, Popeyes. That's fair. That's what I would say. So just remember to try it this weekend. And yeah, I guess I'll wait to hear how you and Mrs. Yeti like it.
SPEAKER_03:Well, the chances are you're going to be with us since we have a fun, exciting weekend starting.
SPEAKER_04:Exactly.
SPEAKER_03:10 o'clock tomorrow morning. 10 o'clock tomorrow
SPEAKER_04:morning.
SPEAKER_03:On fucking Sunday.
SPEAKER_04:Well, Sunday isn't going to be as bad because it's just one movie. Just one movie. It's early, but it's just one movie. Just one movie. You can do one movie. You can do one fucking movie at 8.30 in the morning. You'll be okay.
SPEAKER_03:Who does that? I do! That's why we're going to be the only ones there, because it's fucking 8.30. Every other person with a fucking brain is like, no, fuck that. Perfect,
SPEAKER_04:because that means there's no chance, there's zero risk of somebody being like, you guys are really loud and obnoxious while we're laughing at funny parts.
SPEAKER_03:That's... You know who I feel bad for? Who? This person that's sitting between us. Yeah. Yeah. Tomorrow morning, they're not going to like us. I'll reach over him and be like, hey, you want some chips?
SPEAKER_04:Hey, thanks, man. They'll probably be like, you guys want to switch spots? No, I like it here. Nope. I'm sitting exactly where I fit. I picked these seats for a reason. I like these seats. I like the acoustics.
SPEAKER_03:We're going to be such trolls. We are, and here's the thing. The moment we walk in there, we're going to gauge this person. Oh, absolutely. We're going to look at them and be like, or whatever. They, whoever they are. Whoever they are, we're going to look at them and be like, Oh, yeah. You're getting judged.
SPEAKER_04:Yeah,
SPEAKER_03:yeah,
SPEAKER_04:yeah. We're going to have fun with this one.
SPEAKER_03:And that's how we're going to gauge it. Does this person look like they're going to be fun or are they going to be annoyed? Because we're Superman?
SPEAKER_04:Yeah, we're going to go see Superman. So they might be like a straight Superman diehard. Yeah.
SPEAKER_03:Leave
SPEAKER_01:me alone!
SPEAKER_03:He watched the original from 1956. Exactly. He grew up with this.
SPEAKER_04:Like, you know, you guys are really disturbing me. I need you to stop passing those chips back and forth in front of me. You guys should have bought your tickets earlier. We
SPEAKER_03:should get a small popcorn and just pass it back and forth. And be like, bro. You can get some if you want
SPEAKER_04:some. You want to get down on this? Oh, that's actually funny. Okay, yeah, yeah, yeah. That's a good idea. I like that idea.
SPEAKER_03:Oh, fuck. That's why God hates me.
SPEAKER_04:Yeah, a little bit. Anyway... Okay, snack wraps. Again, talk about it. If you love them, great. If not... Yeah, yeah, yeah. I understand. So I guess... Milina? You hear yet? Milina? No? Alright, well, Yeti? Yeah? Yeah? Reddit roulette. Okay, let's go. T.E. Appleton. Pick a number. I fucking can't. I can't.
SPEAKER_01:Pick a number one through five.
SPEAKER_04:What's that? Number one through five. I think he said four. T. Hamilton, is that right? Yeah, he said four. One. Uno.
SPEAKER_03:Dos. Tres. Cuatro. Okay.
SPEAKER_04:What you got for us to discuss?
SPEAKER_03:Am I the asshole for prioritizing my daughter over my partner's niece?
SPEAKER_04:Ooh.
UNKNOWN:Okay.
SPEAKER_04:This could be steamy. Yeah, let's
SPEAKER_03:go. Okay, hello. 28 female. I've been with my partner, 38 male, for quite some time now. I have a daughter with my previous partner, and she's five now. Let's call her Mina. I have twins. One month with my current partner. A little background. Ever since I lived with my current partner, I help around the house since we're both... What? Okay. Okay. I'm going to continue on. My partner's niece... I can't even decipher that. My partner's niece, seven female, came to the main house as usual and I always take note. Always help my partner's niece to get her food, give her water. I'm really not complaining about it. I love serving the people that I love. My partner's parents went home from abroad and we... as in all the family members went on a trip outside of our we ate at a local restaurant where we rode a boat cruise through the water the food was already served and we just needed to help ourselves to get some food to our plates one time just this one time they got the baby from me for me to do things that i needed to be done like get food and drinks from my daughter after that i went and get my baby, my partner's mom was furious because I didn't get food for my partner's niece. Like, the niece's parents was just there grabbing their own food, not knowing that their own daughter is just waiting for food to be served. Now my parent's mom is blaming me because I prioritized my daughter over my granddaughter. So am I the asshole for prioritizing my daughter over my partner's niece? There's a language barrier there, bro.
SPEAKER_04:Yeah, but I guess the gist of it is they don't have a lot of food. Yes. And they have one house, I guess, where everybody gathers.
SPEAKER_03:That's what it sounds like.
SPEAKER_04:And that's where all the food is, essentially. Yes. Like, that's where you go for a
SPEAKER_03:big meal. Like a mess hall, almost. Yeah,
SPEAKER_04:yeah, yeah, almost anyway. So she's asking because she was like, I need to feed my daughter before I feed... My niece. Her
SPEAKER_03:granddaughter. Well. No. Yeah. Yes. Partner's niece. Yeah. Her niece.
SPEAKER_04:Okay. I mean. That's a little sensitive subject because me being me as a functioning adult. Mm-hmm. I would prioritize both children before I prioritize myself. I would make sure that both kids would eat. Before I do. Because I want to make sure you're good before I do anything. Right. I'm
SPEAKER_03:just going to say not the asshole because she said a sentence in all this. The niece's parents were just there grabbing their own food and And not getting their daughter. Why is the parents not getting the daughter food? If the parents are just getting their food...
SPEAKER_04:Yeah, if they're only worrying about themselves, then yeah. Then
SPEAKER_03:it falls on the parents, so you're not the asshole. The parents
SPEAKER_04:should have taken care of their kid. Instead of depending on you to take care of their kid. Because you're already there grabbing food for yourselves. Why not grab for your child as well? Right.
SPEAKER_03:Bingo. So that's why I say, just because of that one sentence, not the asshole, and that is if that sentence is true. If that sentence is not true, then I'm going to have to say... I
SPEAKER_04:would say light asshole.
SPEAKER_03:Yeah, because then I start to lean on the side where you're leaning on is making sure that the younger people are taken care of before the older people are taken care of.
SPEAKER_04:Right,
SPEAKER_03:because I feel like Older people can withstand a little bit longer of being a little hungrier, being a little thirsty, whereas a child may not be able to. Because you're talking, the youngest I've seen was one month, two-year-old female, or I'm sorry, a seven-year-old female, and two twins that are, oh yeah, the niece is seven, and then her kids are one month. And they're twins.
SPEAKER_04:Yeah, see, that's, that's, yeah, especially one-month-olds, they gotta eat. Yeah. They have to. Right.
SPEAKER_03:Well, I mean, they're not eating formula, but still. Regardless, I mean, you
SPEAKER_04:know, and
SPEAKER_03:then
SPEAKER_04:the seven-year-old, yeah.
SPEAKER_03:Well, now then, I mean, now you gotta argue breastfeeding, because if she's breastfeeding, then the mother does have to get nutrients into her body, because then she's not providing food
SPEAKER_04:for her kid. That is, that
SPEAKER_03:is true. So that's kind of a double-edged sword there.
SPEAKER_04:Yeah, that is true. That's why I said it's a kind of touchy If you look at it from all aspects. But at the same time, like you said, that line is there where this child's parents were there grabbing food. Why did they not grab food for their child? Right. So, I don't know. If that is the case, then yeah, I would say not the asshole. I would say the parents are the ones that should be responsible for making sure their children are fed. Not, you know, leaning on somebody else to take care of the kids. Obviously, I mean, I'd do it. You know, I would take care of it and then definitely have something to say about it. Like, well, you were already up there. Why didn't you just do it? Why didn't you grab the food for your child?
SPEAKER_01:Mm-hmm.
SPEAKER_04:instead of just glazing over that and then saying, oh, you'll get this, and not even talking to me about that. You didn't even mention, hey, can you do this for me? Right, right. They're just trying to pass it off like, yeah like this is your responsibility like you should know that no i don't write that because i have my own responsibility right
SPEAKER_03:i'm taking care of these two other little ones right
SPEAKER_04:right so i don't know like if that if that is the case and and what she says is true then yeah not the asshole but if if she's kind of embellishing and saying you know they were getting their food but didn't get you know but they really didn't like okay you're kind of kind of the asshole But not totally, because the kid shouldn't be your responsibility anyway, because it is their child. But again, as a relative, take care of your family. And
SPEAKER_03:to be fair, no seven-year-old should go without anything. You know what I'm saying? And it sounds like... I mean, I don't know. I mean, cause they say that they're struggling. So I would like to know, I clicked a user to see if I get like any info, like where they were living potentially. Yeah. Cause it sounds like, and it's going to sound horrible, but I, I, I picture like a, a fucking encampment, you know, like a scene from like a X-Men when, when fucking Magneto was like,
SPEAKER_04:I wouldn't say that extreme. I could see it being like a soup kitchen. Yeah. Like downtown. Yeah, in downtown. I could see it being a soup kitchen or something like that. But still, take care of your child. Take care of your child. Take care of your children, people. Stop trying to pass it off on everybody else. It's crazy work. Crazy work. But if that's true, not the asshole. If it's not true... Light asshole. I'll hit you a light sentence of an asshole.
SPEAKER_03:So we give you the lowercase a. Lowercase a.
SPEAKER_04:All lowercase, no caps. You know, when somebody goes, asshole. Yes, yes, yes. A whispered
SPEAKER_03:asshole. Yes. Because you were like two seconds away from not being an asshole. Right. Yeah,
SPEAKER_04:yeah, yeah. You could have easily just, you know, I don't know. Anyway. Okay. All right. That wasn't too bad. Not too bad at all. I do want to ask you a question though.
SPEAKER_02:Yes.
SPEAKER_04:Have you ever just been like hanging out and, and you're like, you know what? I, it feels really like, it feels really like, like, like it's been a crazy day and my mind is just all over the place. And I don't know, and I don't know how to like, Get my thoughts clear. And you're like, you know what? Magic mind. Magic mind. You know what I'm saying? And you're like, oh, my God. Like this little wonderful mental performance shot here. And you're like, you know, if I had one, if I could just pop one real quick, I'd be good. And I'd be able to get everything taken care of. Because what a hell of a day. You know what I mean? Like, you go to work for eight hours, you come home, and you're like, I got a podcast to do. I got a show to run. And, like, nobody shows up.
SPEAKER_01:Hold on. Hold on. No! Where's it at? No! I can't find the button fast enough.
SPEAKER_04:God damn it. I'm fucking failing. Shit. But magic mind. It's a wonderful little mental performance shot that has... Beautiful little new tropics in it, like Lion's Mane and Ashwagandha. I don't know what yet he's doing right now. Crickets. It's got L-theanine, cordyceps, has matcha tea in it, which is, you know, wonderful. That's where you're going to get your caffeine from. But it does that, you know, has the L-theanine to kind of like regulate that absorption of caffeine and make that caffeine last a little longer for you. But it also, you know, helps with mental fog, gets your mental state right. And it works. It really does work wonders. It's like a very magical drink. So what I'm going to do right now is I'm going to pop one. There we go. Popped. Now my focus can go up. We're straight. We feeling good now?
SPEAKER_03:Feeling right? I got a question. When you pop this right now, because obviously you just took it right now on the spot, how long does it last? Because I know it's 9.30pm So, I mean, you gotta think about bed and stuff like that. So how long does it last?
SPEAKER_04:So luckily for me, it's Friday and I don't have to work tomorrow.
SPEAKER_02:Gotcha.
SPEAKER_04:That's, that's why I, that's why I try to, I try to like really like, um, take these, I gotta be strategic with, with, with how I take them because I will say, um, if I'm, if I'm kind of like feeling a little low on energy or whatever, Like I need a little pick-me-up. You know what I mean? I will pop one. And it'll probably last me... I mean, it lasts for a while. It really does. I would venture to say, because I used to take them first thing in the morning. As soon as I got to work, I'd pop one. And I would be good for the entire day. I'd be straight for the whole day. I would not feel tired at any point in time. And I'm just like, I'm ready to rock and roll. And it's not like ready to run through a wall type of energy. It's like, I'm just awake. And usually by like 2 o'clock, 3 o'clock, I'm like, man, I could really use a nap. But whenever I was taking them on a daily, you know what I mean? And like popping them first thing in the morning, I'd be good. That 2 o'clock, 3 o'clock low energy feeling at that time of day, non-existent. It does last quite a while, which I'm pretty sure has a lot to do with the L-theanine and all that kind of stuff, and allowing your body to better regulate the absorption of caffeine. So if you do wind up drinking anything that has a little bit of caffeine in it later on, that L-theanine will kind of help with that. I'm sure it does wear off throughout the day, but that's why I try to keep my caffeine intake at a minimum. That's fair. You know what I'm saying?

So anyway, moving toward our topic for the day, what are we talking about today, you guys?
SPEAKER_03:Not all at once. Not all at once. I'll go first. Okay. Scammers. Oh!
SPEAKER_04:Scammers?
SPEAKER_03:Yes.
SPEAKER_04:Oh! Me, Lina? Do you have scammer stories? No. G-Riz? Any scammer stories?
SPEAKER_03:No.
SPEAKER_04:Why you got G-Riz? fucking stupid. No. You know good and damn well Grizz doesn't even fucking sound like that. What the fuck? T. Appleton? T. Appleton! Do you... Wait. For the joke. God damn it, Yeti. I don't know. I don't know. Anyway, moving on. Yeah, scammers. We're talking about scammers. And what do we mean by scammers? We mean like the phishing emails, the phone calls and the text messages you get. Those kind of scammers. It's interesting that this is something that we have to worry about, right? People that have no problem impersonating somebody to get personal information from you. Right. Which is really trippy. I know we have been talking about it a lot lately, but I guess we have to bring it up because it is very much prevalent right now. Excuse me. It's very prevalent, but Scammers use AI in nefarious ways because they actually have a way of... They'll give you a call on your phone and they'll probably say something like, you know, hello? And then you'll say, hello? And then it'll come back and the voice will say, can you hear me? And you'll say, yeah. And then they'll ask, hey, can you hear me? Yeah. Who is this? And then ask for your name. And that's all they need, because now they've got your voice, they've got you saying yes, they've got you saying your name, and they can now put you into this AI system and use it to open up lines of credit, get cars, you name it. Which is crazy to me. It's fucking nuts. It's fucking nuts. And for me, I'm like, why don't you get a job?
SPEAKER_03:No, because... I feel like to them, okay, this is going to sound terrible, but this is their job. It's almost like gambling. A gambler goes to the casino. No, no, hear me out. Hear me out. They spent X, they spent X amount of dollars just to maybe to hit the jackpot. And the chances are a lot of times they'll win. Like my coworker, he goes to the casino all the time, right? Spends hundreds, thousands of dollars. I would have to. And he just hit the jackpot for like 1500 bucks. In his mind, he won big. But in the long term, he spent a lot of money. I feel like this is the same thing. They call, they waste their time. They're not wasting money, but they're wasting their time. Because all it takes is for me to get one person, and I can get a couple thousand dollars from said person.
SPEAKER_04:Yeah, I mean, I guess I could see it from that angle. Okay, this is my job. But at the same time, like,
SPEAKER_03:It's fucked up. That's what it comes out. It's just fucked up.
SPEAKER_04:It's fucked up because if I, because here's the thing, if I come to you, let's say you're a scammer, right? You're scamming people out of money, this, that, and the other thing. If I, as a random stranger, come to you and steal something from you, you are now pissed at me. How are you mad at me for me stealing something from you that you stole from somebody else? That shit don't make no fucking sense to me. To me, that sounds fucking stupid. You sound stupid. dumb if you're like oh why'd you take that from me well didn't you take this from somebody else that's not the point no that is the point because like this is like the universe writing itself right like somebody else is stealing from the stealing from you and it's like it's just now this huge cycle of one person steals from one person the other person steals from the other person and the other person steals from the other person where does it stop
SPEAKER_03:It stops when people stop answering the phone calls and stop getting suckered into these can-you-hear-me-now phone calls.
SPEAKER_04:Well, yeah, but the problem is AI is getting so good now, especially with the AI voices, that, I mean, it's hard to tell if it is AI. It's hard to tell.
SPEAKER_03:Right, and they even make messages saying, like, let's say that you call the person's grandparents or their parents and say, hey, if you have a kid named... Joe Baker. They're like, hey, this is Joe Baker. I'm in Cancun. And he was legitimately going to Cancun. They're like, yeah, I got arrested and I need X amount of dollars to get me out of jail. Send it to this right here. And they'll believe it. And then parents without thinking, well, wait, wait, wait. Scammers shouldn't know that he's in Cancun right now. They don't even think about that because they just want their kid home safe. Or to be safe. So they're just like, how much you need? Bet. Sent over right now.
SPEAKER_04:Yep. Yep. And that's where you got to step in and kind of like I get it because for some people, panic will set in and be like, oh, my kid's out in some other country that they're unfamiliar with and they got arrested. Especially if they are that kind of person that could possibly wind up in prison. You know what I'm saying? You know they do some dumb shit and every now and then I gotta bail them out. I could see that working on some people. Yeah, sure. But it's like, sometimes you just gotta okay let me take a second let me call him real quick let me call let me call him and find out if he's actually in trouble and if they're like oh yeah i'm no i'm i'm i'm not i'm not in jail i'm not having the time of my life oh then i now know you know what i mean like i know somebody's fucking now i do know that there are ways to combat it like you know you have your safe words and all that kind of your code words or whatever and say hey um uh just some random shit like what's the safe word uh sea cucumber
SPEAKER_03:right right but you know like here's the thing like how do you even say that in like a conversation especially if like something's happening like in the moment like it's not a scammer and you're just in danger you need to get like your parents or like how are you gonna just like sue cucumber no that's fucking code i know that's code let's go
SPEAKER_04:oh i've been here before i've heard people say see cucumber before i know what that means I mean, yeah, that is interesting to think about. How do you sneak that by a captor? How do you sneak that by somebody? I guess you would have to try to... Come up with some kind of conversation that you would have that kind of like how they do on 911, where they're like, just call and say you're ordering a pizza. You know what I'm saying? So you would have to have some kind of conversation like that. But then at the same time, you have to hope and pray that the other person remembers the conversation. This is the fucking key word.
SPEAKER_03:You're talking to the police. They're like, you talk to them. Did they say anything of importance? Nope, not really. Not really. They wanted a pizza. Oh, you know what? He did mention something about the grass being black. I didn't know black
SPEAKER_04:grass meant something. My bad. Like, did he say anything important? No, not really. Like 15 minutes goes by, he's like, You know, actually, he did mention a pizza, which I thought was weird, because he was like, I was like, you know, this isn't Domino's, dude, and I hung up on him. Like, you fucking moron! So you'd have to, you'd have to know, like the other person would have to be hip to that. You know what I'm saying?
SPEAKER_03:Well, I would imagine you would have this conversation. So here's the thing. Okay. To be fair. So like, we're trying to get my daughter tuned to be born in a month set up with some daycare, right? Cause we work, whatever. So I had to come up with passwords or like when you created the account, it's like pick two password or two questions to recover your password. You know what I'm saying? Yes. So, and then I asked Emily, one of them and I'm like hey what's this and she's like and she gave me the answer and I'm like okay cool and she's like I'm not gonna remember that
SPEAKER_04:I'll never I'll never remember that shit because I'll tell you what security questions they're great but I hate them because they're like they're like I have to remember that I'm not gonna fucking remember this shit big facts why would you ask me this question especially in an emergency right right right it's almost like when you're paying your bills and they're like can you verify this is you like does it matter if the motherfucker wants to pay my bill let them
SPEAKER_03:there should be nothing protecting me or anyone from protecting from paying my bill pay bill should be on the fucking non cryptid internet and if it happened To get paid, he gets paid. Pay my bill, bro. Pay that shit.
SPEAKER_04:Give a fuck. What do you mean? What do you mean verify that it's you before I ask to get your money? What? What? What do you mean? Like, I don't give a fuck who pays my bill if they're willing to pay my bill. Let them pay my bill, especially if it's a big bill. They're like, oh, yeah, you owe like$4,000. Like, yeah, I got that. That's a drop in the bucket. You know, if you're like, well, this is strange. You must not be who you say you are. Who fucking cares? It's about to give you four grand. You're going to say no? Like, what the fuck, man? But no, yeah, yeah, yeah. You definitely got to be careful. Got to watch yourself. Protect yourself out there. Yes, you do. Again, I know we've talked about it a lot, but as you can see, it's very prevalent. Like the AI side of it, it's very prevalent. Obviously, it can be used for good. Obviously, it can be nefarious. But at the same time, The old tried and true methods, they are still out there. They will throw you that email saying, I'm a prince and I want to give you$25,000. But first you have to send me$2,500.
SPEAKER_03:Let's do this. I'm going to go to my spam box
SPEAKER_04:real quick. Oh, my
SPEAKER_03:God. Please hold. Let me see if I can find anything.
SPEAKER_04:Yeti is literally live right now on the show. He's got scammer emails.
SPEAKER_03:Oh, here he goes. Payment declined. Yes. so it says last reminder with sirens on it okay yes you know that's coming from a legit place now and okay it has my my email address and then it has like a a capital a with a with a symbol above it yep like a squiggly line has been blocked your photos and videos will be removed friday the 23rd may 25th a with a symbol on the top it looks like a book icon Take action. And then weird characters after that. And it said, your payment has expired. Please update your payment information to avoid data loss. Click here. You want to know what's funny? What's that? I don't even take pictures.
SPEAKER_04:Trust me, I know. I get the same shit.
SPEAKER_03:Delete them. Delete them, bro. I don't give a fuck. You're going to delete screenshots of the best meta guns in Call of Duty. Nobody
SPEAKER_04:cares. Nobody fucking cares. I will get random emails, especially in my junk box, spam box, whatever, and it'll say your iCloud is about to lose all of its blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. I'll fill out this information if you don't. I'm like, bitch, I don't even have an iPhone. Exactly. Then
SPEAKER_01:delete
SPEAKER_04:it. Please. Yeah, please. Or the one that I really love that I get quite often is the email about Netflix. Oh, your Netflix. Update your payment for Netflix before it expires. Now, I get it because there are people out there that will... Okay, go ahead. Go ahead. Share your story.
SPEAKER_03:So, my... I have a lot of my accounts linked up with my debit card. And it did expire. Okay. And I had to chase down. I thought I changed them all. And I got that Netflix fucking email around the same time it was expiring. And I was like, is Netflix set up like that? I was like, I don't think I set it up that way. I thought I used my checking account on that one. So I'm like, huh? So I went into Netflix. I didn't go through the link. I was like, let me go to the Netflix app and look at my account. And sure as shit, when I went to the Netflix app, opened it up, I looked to see if I was current. I was like, I'm current. I looked to see how I pay. Oh, it's completely different. So then I was like, I went back to the email and they had a period at the end of the X on Netflix. Yeah. Yeah.
SPEAKER_04:And that's... It's little shit like that. Yes. Yeah, it's little shit like that that they tell you to look for because they can't necessarily use that specific name, Netflix, because it is actually a thing. Somebody owns that. Yes, yes. Somebody owns that. So they can't use it. So you've got to look for the little shit. But that was one thing I was going to say because people will fall for that. They'll be like, oh, shit, my Netflix account is about to be... Oh, shit, let me... Click on this and update it real quick. If you are unsure, if you're ever unsure, you get an email about anything. I'm talking to y'all, the listeners, those listening right now. If you are ever unsure about anything that you get in your email, go to the source. Go to text message. Yeah. Yeah. Text messages, anything like that. Go to the source. If it says your Netflix is about to be suspended due to nonpayment, Just jump in your app and see what it says. Because literally, it will scream at you. Because, you know, we've all been there where our shit expires and it tries to fucking charge it. And it's like, update your payments before we kick you off of Netflix. So it's like... The app will tell you. Yeah, open your app.
SPEAKER_03:The quickest way. Fastest way. You got two hours. We're kicking you off,
SPEAKER_04:bro. Update this shit before we cut you off. Oh, okay. Well, let me do that because that's a legitimate source. You know that is fucking Netflix. But it's Again, a lot of people are out there that will fall for that shit, and that's the shitty part. There's a reason why they keep doing it.
SPEAKER_03:They go for the panic people, and
SPEAKER_04:they just hit that link, and that's what happens. Click the link, put my stuff in, and usually they say it's typically the elderly and the people that don't have a lot going on that they go after the most. They have the most success with. Yeah,
SPEAKER_03:the ones that kind of live underneath a rock, so to speak. Right,
SPEAKER_04:right. Because they're like, oh, well, let me update this real quick. And not even realizing that, you know, you can just click your app and see. You know what I mean? Like, it's that simple. And, again, it sucks. And I know, because I did watch...
SPEAKER_03:I've heard horror stories about this shit.
SPEAKER_04:Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Because I heard... I don't remember if it... Somebody was interviewing somebody from, like, the dark web. And... He asked him, because he was big into stealing people's credit card information and all that kind of shit. Yes. And he asked him, he said, does any part of you feel bad about it? You stealing money from people, is there any part of you that feels bad about that? And he's like, not really. Because his reasoning was, because at the end of the day, we're all going to get our money. yes, I took money from you, but you're going to dispute that charge from the bank, and the bank is going to give you your money back. That was his mindset. His mindset is, you're going to dispute the charge, the bank is going to say, okay, gotcha, they'll verify, validate that it is indeed fraudulent, and then they'll go ahead and give you your money back. Not realizing, though, that that could have an effect on us as a consumer at that bank. Right. But the thing about that is, it's not their problem because once they're done with you, they may never come back to you ever again. They might, there, there, there are over 8 billion people on this planet. You know what I mean? So it's like, but at the same time, like you're fucking up my cred.
SPEAKER_03:Right. And the other thing too, like, like you said, there's 8 billion people and the chances of it happening to you is probably slim. So that's why people also probably just sweep it underneath the rug and don't listen to conversations like, Because there is some knowledge behind this conversation we're having right now. Even though we're having jokes and laughing about it.
SPEAKER_04:There's knowledge and lessons to be learned at every turn that you come to. Again, there are people out there that will fall for it. People that will literally not think twice about clicking that link. The best case scenario, if you don't know who that's coming from, Don't click that bitch. Go to the source. Go to the person that is literally supposedly coming from
SPEAKER_03:here. If you're that old school about it, don't even use your phone or don't use apps. Call the number. Call the number. Call the customer service number and talk to somebody and talk.
SPEAKER_04:Yeah, they'll let you know immediately. Oh, no, we haven't tried to reach out to you. We haven't sent you emails. Oh, okay. Oh, perfect. Now,
SPEAKER_03:have you ever answered a phone call or a text message or an email when you've gotten anything like that for shits and giggles?
SPEAKER_04:Now, phone calls, I don't get them often anymore because now that everything's automated and shit like that, there's really nobody to talk to. Now, I have answered phone calls. I absolutely have. Would
SPEAKER_03:you like to share one?
SPEAKER_04:So, with phone calls, I typically, like... Oh, my God. I'm trying to remember... I'm trying to remember a moment that I had. It was years ago. And I, like... I had awful... I did not live right, okay? Let's just start there. I love the way you fucking summed that up. I'm just going to. A little fun fact about Sweet Baby J. I did not live right whatsoever. So, yeah, I got payday loans like forever ago. I got that shit. I dove head first into that shit and straight up. I'm talking interest rates of like 283%. That is criminal. But I was young and stupid and wanted some money, right? So I literally was like, you owe me a thousand back. Yeah. Here's, here's 200 bucks. Now you owe$2,000. I'm like, yo, that's gotta be illegal, but I don't care. Sign me up right now. So again, I wasn't living right. But after I have cleaned all that mess up, right. And I, and I got wiser, got older and just stopped being a fucking shithead. Um, I did get a phone call once upon a time and I, the guy on the other line, he was literally like, it was, okay. So it was basically like one of the, one of the payday loans that I had back then. Um, you know, I, I learned about all my rights and everything with all that shit and, and, and got that all taken care of just, just to preface that. But they called me up and it was supposedly a, about one of the, one of the payday loans. And this guy was like, he's like, so, oh shit. I'm trying to remember. Hang on. Okay. So he's like, he's like, He's like, so you owe X amount of dollars. I'm like, okay, well, this is what I was told about this whole thing. And he basically tried to tell me that he was calling me because we've been trying to get a hold of you. I'm trying to serve you, all that kind of stuff. I was like, oh, okay. Because I was told that I will never get a phone call about stuff like this. You'll just show the fuck up at where I am because you know where I work. You know where I live. You're just going to show the fuck up. You know what I mean? You're not going to give me a phone call and give me a heads up. You're going to show up and give me papers. That doesn't happen. You know what I mean? I was like, this is what I heard. I was like, so, I mean, what are we going to do? How are we going to cross this bridge? And Apparently, that set him off. Because I was told by the Attorney General of our state that this is how you respond. This is what the Attorney General was telling me. He was like, this is how you respond to this, and I promise you it'll send them into a tizzy. And boy, was he right. Because this dude got so pissed. He was like, what the fuck do you mean, how are we going to cross this bridge? He was like, you have something to pay. You said you were going to pay it. You need to fucking pay it right now. I was like, okay, cool. I was like, I mean... I took care of all this like months, years ago at this point. I was like, so, I mean, no. This guy literally was like, no. Yeah, and this guy literally was like, okay, well, you know what's going to happen? He's like, you still working over at such and such? Now, mind you, have a whole new job, right? And I've been working here for like two years at this point. He's like, you still working here at such and such? I was like, yep. No, and I don't. Knowing I don't. And he was like, well, I'm coming down there right now and I'm going to put you in cuffs. And I hope I arrest you in front of your supervisor so he knows what kind of person you are. I was like, I'll see you when you get here.
SPEAKER_01:He
SPEAKER_04:hung up on me so fast. I was like, wow, they really do get pissed off when you drop that information on them. I was like... That's wild. But he was just telling me there are predatory loans and stuff like that. Again, I took care of all that. The most fun I've had so far with all of these is the text messages that I have received.
SPEAKER_03:See, I'm always afraid to respond to them because I feel like my brain... Because my brain goes, if you respond, they can get into your phone.
SPEAKER_04:No! Listen, they're simply sending you a text message. Again, it's just like a phishing email, right? They're trying to get information out of you. You know, they're basically trying to start a conversation. Get your name, where you live, all that shit. And if you don't give them that, they leave you alone. They just disappear off into the whatever. They already have your fucking number. Obviously, they have information about you. So what? You
SPEAKER_02:know
SPEAKER_04:what I mean? Like the most they're going to get from me is a fucking headache. And that's what I absolutely love. That's why I love responding to these people over text messages. message because it is so much fun. Again, nowadays, the robot calls are basically what most of them are, but I have saved a few of these conversations for the simple enjoyment that I like to go back and read some of these.
SPEAKER_03:Is this your reading material when you're taking a shit?
SPEAKER_04:Honestly, every now and then, yes, because it makes me chuckle. Get the load out. Anyway, It honestly does. It honestly does. It makes me chuckle, but let me surf my messages here because I think the audience will absolutely love some of these conversations. Now, they are just totally random numbers, okay, because I'm sure whoever it is, they're using some kind of like VPN or something that randomize phone numbers. I'm sure 80, 84, 82 all got the same message. Absolutely. Absolutely. Everybody's getting the same shit I'm getting, but are they responding? That's going to be the question. So I have a text message here. I got a few that I'm going to read, and I think y'all are going to get a kick out of this. So they messaged me and said, how's your day going? What are you doing? I respond, selling drugs. What are you doing? They reply, LOL. Are you mad? I'm at office. I know you are kidding me. I respond. Nope. I'm selling hardcore drugs. You need some? They reply. Really? I'm so confused. Hey, LOL. I'm serious, Julia. Where are you? It's me, Zoya. I reply. At the corner. Selling drugs. They respond. Three little question marks. I reply, are you inquiring?$10 for a dime bag. They respond, what? I'm totally confused. I hate drugs. I reply, then get off my phone. This is my work phone. Get off it. I never got a reply back after that. So again, it really does come down to like, What you tell these people. And I have a name that I go by now. Whenever I get a text message from these. I'll go to my next one. They text me. Said hello. How are you doing today? I reply. Who this is? Who this is? They respond. Excuse me. Is this Mike's phone number? I'm Isabella. I reply, Mike Hawk or Mike Hunt?
SPEAKER_01:That was golden. Before you said that,
SPEAKER_03:I said I would
SPEAKER_04:respond, are you looking for Hunt or Mike Hawk? Or Mike Hunt. Hawk never got a response to that. I wonder why. I wonder why. So again, depending on my mood. I will absolutely go bar for bar, word for word with these people just to see how far they'll take it, just to see if they'll have as much fun as I'm having because they don't get anything out of me. I never tell them my name. Again, they already have my number. I'm sure they have my name somewhere, right? They're probably trying to get more information, a credit card, something like that, my address, anything. So I have another one. This one's very short. It says, good morning. do you have time to go shopping with me tomorrow? And I reply, for drugs. No reply after that. No reply. No reply after that, because they're like, no, not even going to do it. Here's another one that I enjoyed. It says, good morning. Do you have time to go shopping with me tomorrow? Familiar?
SPEAKER_02:Yeah.
SPEAKER_04:I reply, where? They respond, Alice, have you forgotten? I reply, yeah, it's this damned CTE.
SPEAKER_03:No reply. I'd have been like, only if we go to Wonderland. Only
SPEAKER_04:if we go to Wonderland. It's fucking nuts down there. Apparently they're all mad. I have a lot of fun with these people. And some of them, I don't know if I have it, but there's been a few that are like, I had a good time chatting with you. I'm like, I'm glad you did. Now get off of my phone. Don't text me again. Literally, I do break some of them down because I'm in that kind of mood. So here's another one that I've got for you. It says, hello. How are you doing today? I respond. I said, I'm doing great. How are you? They reply, I'm pretty good, thanks. I'm Bella. Nice to meet you here. Sends me some picture of some AI photoed woman. I said, neat. Was she hot? Oh, I mean, she's Asian and she does look decent. But I'm like, okay. I respond, neat. Are you a little lost? They respond, thank. Don't know what that means. Yeah. I see this number in my contact, but no name, so I think we used to talk before. If you don't mind, may I know your name? I reply.
SPEAKER_03:You gave her some fucking dumb name. I know you did. I don't
SPEAKER_04:want to fuck this up. I said... I was laughing so hard when I wrote this. I replied, Guadalupe Mejor Rojo Antonio Banderas. hang on wait they reply you have a nice name i like your name you can call me bella oh okay where do you live i live in boston massachusetts i reply that's nice do you ever tried sniffing coke That's how I responded, okay? That's how I responded. Have you ever tried sniffing coke? They replied, so do you live in Kentucky, right? Now, obviously they know because they have my number. It's 859. You can look up the area. Right. And I replied, nah, I actually stole this phone. You need a hookup? No reply after that. I stole his phone. He is fucking great. So, again, they will do scare tactics. They will absolutely try to get you to panic, so that way you're like, oh shit, what do I do? Oh my god. Again, they're texting you, they're calling you, they're emailing you. They have some sort of information on you. Your information is sold constantly. Yep. It is just handed off to everybody and their
SPEAKER_03:grandmother. That wants it. That is willing to pay for it. They're not necessarily going after you. They're buying a bag of information. Yep. And that bag of information, you could get passed around and passed around and passed around and passed around and never get got or get... It's
SPEAKER_04:worse than D-Block. You know what
SPEAKER_03:I'm saying? Big facts.
SPEAKER_04:For real, you will get passed around non-stop. You will circulate throughout the dark web, wherever they pass information. You will circulate. And eventually, somebody will reach out to you, especially because we've had this number active for shit, almost 40 years now.
SPEAKER_03:No, no, no. It's been every bit of what... 25 every bit every bit that was my first number
SPEAKER_04:yeah that was this was your number and now i'm using it and it's just it's just been active so i'm sure this bitch has been passed around a lot you know what i mean so i've got another one and you're gonna love this because i was totally random on this day because i i at this point i just wanted to see how far i could take it and just to see if i could like just if i can get him to quit real fast So they text me and says, hello, how's everything been? I reply. I say, oh, you know, birds are screaming for sex. They respond. Hi, excuse me. I'm Tatiana. Are you the yoga teacher Alice recommended to me? Apparently Alice has been talking to everybody. She gets around. She gets around. And then I reply, I love yogurt. did you say yoga or yogurt yogurt yogurt i love i love yogurt they respond sorry i've just checked the number and realized that in my carelessness i mixed up the area codes in the number i hope this wrong message doesn't bother you i respond i will lose sleep over this i thought i had a friend i thought i had a friend They reply, Thank you for understanding. It's nice to meet someone as kind and polite as you. My name is Tatiana. Yeah, we got that. And I love making new friends. What should I call you? I reply, Neighborhood drug dealer. Mike Hawk. You love that
SPEAKER_03:name.
SPEAKER_04:That's my name. That's the name I go with. They reply, I'm Tatiana Smirnova, whatever name that is. That's Russian. Yeah, nice to meet you. I'm 36. I reply, I like turtles. I like turtles. They respond, I'm sorry, I don't know what you mean. I reply, the toast will always land on the dry side. No reply. That doesn't make any fucking sense. It doesn't. It doesn't. But no reply. No reply.
SPEAKER_03:That's hilarious, bro.
SPEAKER_04:Oh, I'm not done yet, but I think I'm about halfway through, so we'll be done here momentarily. This one said, long time no see. This is my new number. How are you doing recently? See how that rhymed? They made a rhyme. Yes. I replied, oh no, they're going to find us. You were supposed to keep that number. It was our only way to keep our information encrypted. No reply. Wow. Oh, my God. Next one. I'm telling you, I got so many of them. It says, hello. I respond, hi. They respond, what have you been up to recently? Long time no see. Oh, you know, digging up moles. I don't know. Just anything. They reply. You're not Amy? I'm Faye. I reply. And I'm your typical deep sea dweller, the anglerfish. They respond. I also like fishing very much. And I like eating fish, lol. I'm very sorry to bother you. I reply. I don't know how I'll recover from this disruption. They respond. Where are you from? I reply. A pineapple under the sea.
SPEAKER_03:The next person that writes you and they say, hey, are you such and such? You're like, no, I'm D-E-E. I'm D. I'm D. And then say, would you like my last name too? And if they say yes, say nuts.
SPEAKER_01:Nuts! Nuts! D-Nuts!
SPEAKER_04:That's a good one, Ashley. So they reply, you are so humorous. I respond, I can also taste sounds. They reply, I can't get better communication with you. Excuse me? I respond, if you listen closely, the color orange tastes like the inside of cilantro. If you listen closely.
SPEAKER_03:The
SPEAKER_04:fuck, dude? They reply,
SPEAKER_03:Goodbye. They actually responded that they were not going to talk to you anymore. That's fabulous.
SPEAKER_04:I responded, farewell.
SPEAKER_03:Don't forget
SPEAKER_04:to write. They said goodbye. I
SPEAKER_03:wonder if these people go home after a hard day of work. They take their shoes off. look at this significant other and say, man, what a story for you.
SPEAKER_01:This guy told me he lived in a fucking pineapple under the sea. Yes. He caught himself an angler
SPEAKER_04:fish. I didn't know what to do with that. I
SPEAKER_03:thought our kids were crazy because they want to identify as a cat.
SPEAKER_04:Right. But he's over here saying, I'm an angler fish, and he lives in a pineapple under the sea. I don't understand. I'll take my cat kid over this. No shit. In a day of the week. No shit. No shit. Again, depending on the mood that I'm in, because I do get a lot. I will get a bunch of these, and I'll just delete them. Delete, get out of here, block
SPEAKER_03:the number. And that's the thing. I just, in my brain, we always talk about your time is very valuable. That's like the one thing you'll never get back. It's whatever. Absolutely. I just like, nope, I'm not responding. And I've gotten a couple of these, hey, and you know what's crazy is I just deleted these things like a month ago. And I didn't respond to any of them. I didn't respond to them. They were just sitting in my... Yeah, they were just sitting there and I finally cleaned out my... And stuff, but yeah. But now, the thing is, kind of going back to the phishing emails, I was on vacation this week. Literally yesterday, I spent the entire day going through the... Junk mail that have made it through and I went unsubscribe to all of them Which took I felt I felt like maybe like two hours to do Because you have to go to each one and I didn't check my mail for two weeks.
SPEAKER_04:Yeah Yeah,
SPEAKER_03:so I like a thousand emails and that's not that much compared to some people right? But for me, that's a lot. No, which is like when you click unsubscribe. They're like I We hate to see you go. Well, for the record, I was never here. I was kidnapped. I never joined. I never wanted to be here to begin with. So don't thank me for fucking leaving. I
SPEAKER_04:never joined. I did not consciously sign up for this. I wound up on a list somewhere because you got my information from somebody and now you're like, hey, spam emails. I'm like, no. Here you go. Fuck off.
SPEAKER_03:There's some that don't even have an unsubscribe button. Yeah. Like, I got one from Elon Musk. You know him? Apparently, bro. Yeah, I do. But, like, if you go to the email, you go to the email, and, like, it loads, like, oh, man, you know what? I need to find it. Please find it. But you go to the email, and, like, you see it. Hold on. Let me see if I can find one. Go ahead. But, no, in... It loads the top part, but the email's like super fucking long.
SPEAKER_04:Yeah. I'm sure when you open it, it probably looks like code, doesn't it? Like somebody wrote
SPEAKER_03:code. No, it looks normal. Let me go to my trash. Where's my trash email? Because it's going to be in there. Because it was just recently. When I find it... Come on. There it is. Hold on. I just seen Elon.
SPEAKER_04:I just seen Elon Musk!
SPEAKER_03:Go ahead with your thing, and I'm going to find it real quick.
SPEAKER_04:Okay, so this one here was kind of fun. It was a little bit different. Now, I think this is kind of one that I... This was from one of the people that I definitely had a conversation with a while ago, and I wish I would have kept that one because that one was kind of funny. But this one says, Hey, Eric... I'm Jay from Direct Home Buyers. We're acquiring homes in town, and your neighborhood recently caught our eye. Open to discovering a new way to move on from your property as such and such and such and such? I'd love to know if you're free for a call. And I replied, did you know that you can immobilize a shark for about 10 minutes by simply flipping it upside down?
SPEAKER_03:No reply. I was hoping he was going to ask for your address. And if you ever get that, fucking give him the White House address.
SPEAKER_04:Man, I'm telling you. Yes, I want to do that. I want to do that someday. I'm trying to see if I got anything else. I think that might have been the last one.
SPEAKER_03:Bro.
SPEAKER_04:Yeah, I think that might have been the last one.
SPEAKER_03:Okay, here's what you need to do. You need to get a president's information that's like from like 1901. I don't know when the first president was, but get it like when it was super old or like the 1800s president. How far does the presidency go back? I don't know.
SPEAKER_04:I mean, our first president was George Washington.
SPEAKER_03:First president. And what year was that? I don't remember.
SPEAKER_04:Well, we're about to find out. He was the first U.S.
SPEAKER_03:president.
SPEAKER_04:1700s. He was born in 1732. Served from 1789 to 1797.
SPEAKER_03:Yeah, so what you need to say is your name is George Washington. Yes, yes, yes, yes. Change your date of birth to something that's a little bit more real. And then when they ask where you live, give them the fucking White House address.
SPEAKER_04:Oh, my God. Now that would actually be funny. That would actually be hilarious. Because they'd be like, oh, shit. They might panic and be like, oh, fuck, he's fed. Delete, delete, delete, delete, delete, delete. I was not there. Where'd you go? Yeah, just forget I was here. Forget everything we just talked about. So, there you go. Found this email.
SPEAKER_03:Yeah, read your email. So, it says verified delivery at the top, right? Okay. So, like, yeah. And it's him holding a fucking portable AC unit. The fuck? I don't fucking know. But look, it looks like normal and legit, right? I don't know if I can turn this down a little bit. So, and you can't even fucking see it. Damn it. Come on, focus, camera.
SPEAKER_04:There you go. There it goes. Oh, now it's... Come on, focus. Now you're going to have a problem. There you go. There you go. A little bit closer. There you go. There you go. Nope. Nope.
SPEAKER_03:All right. Yeah, there we go. Did it for a second. Anyways, but anyways, so then it just turns black. And it just keeps going. And look at the... Oops.
SPEAKER_04:You
SPEAKER_03:changed. Yeah,
SPEAKER_04:you moved it.
SPEAKER_03:Yeah. You swiped.
SPEAKER_04:You're not supposed to swipe.
SPEAKER_03:Swipe
SPEAKER_04:or no
SPEAKER_03:swipey. Okay, anyways. So, as you're scrolling, right? It turns black. And you see my scroll bar?
SPEAKER_04:Yep. Yeah, that's long. Look at this shit. That's long. Look at this shit. Look at this shit. It's so good. Just keep swimming. Just keep swimming. Just keep swimming.
SPEAKER_03:Because usually you can find the unsubscribe button at the bottom.
SPEAKER_04:Yeah, that doesn't have one.
SPEAKER_03:It doesn't have one. And it's literally just a picture. And it says, get your portable AC now.
SPEAKER_04:That was definitely by design. Get your portable AC. You have no choice but to buy this AC. Buy it. Go buy the AC. Buying it is a form of buying it. Not buying it is a form of buying it. Go buy the AC. What? What? No, I don't want this stupid fucking AC.
SPEAKER_03:There
SPEAKER_04:you go. There's the fun stuff that I do every now and then. And I hear you when you say time is precious. It absolutely is. But with text messages, again, depending on my mood, if I'm in the mood to fuck with people, I have the time. I have all day. You want to talk to me? Cool. Let's make it happen. Let's make it happen. You're either going to, you're either going to love the conversation we have, or you are absolutely going to hate it. Like the one that just says, just straight up says goodbye. Like literally like.
SPEAKER_03:It's
SPEAKER_04:fucking good. That's fucking gold. When I read that, all I heard was the AOL voice. Goodbye. Like just
SPEAKER_01:lock me out.
SPEAKER_04:That's all I heard in my head. I was like, oh, he left the chat. This man literally said, I'm out. Like, I'm done. I've tried. I've given the old college try. Nope. He noped right out of that conversation. And that's why I'm like, for me, it's that simple. You know what I'm saying? But for other people, especially, again, elderly people, elderly folks, especially like those ones that are like, oh, is this Isabella? Is this Amy? Is this so-and-so? It's like they're throwing out a name and hopefully get lucky, right? Because if it isn't Isabella, I'm going to fall for this and say, oh, I must have met you somewhere. What's going on? Oh, you want to meet me here or whatever? Or, hey, I have a problem getting a cab. You want to cash out me some app? You want to Venmo me? You want to PayPal me? And it's like, don't fall for that shit. Just don't fall for it. Just give them a hard time. Have a little bit of fun with it. Give them a hard time. And then go about your business. I promise you, they might come... They might come back. I don't know. I don't know if it's the same people. You know what I mean?
SPEAKER_03:It's the same guy. He tried... He's staring at his fucking whiteboard like... I'm gonna get this guy. And he's just marking off each time he fails. And he's just like, I will get this motherfucker one day. One day or another.
SPEAKER_04:I'm gonna get you.
UNKNOWN:I'm gonna...
SPEAKER_04:i'm his fucking unicorn that's exactly what that is i'm his unicorn he's like if i keep trying one of these days he's gonna fall for it and it's like i don't know buddy that many times that many times if it is one person that many times i would chalk that up as a yeah i'm not getting anything out of this guy
SPEAKER_03:or or he's your he's his stress reliever You're his stress reliever. He gets all these fucking... Yeah, he just goes to you for a chuckle at the end of the day. You're his coffee break.
SPEAKER_04:After the first encounter, he's like, you know... I'm
SPEAKER_03:keeping him.
SPEAKER_04:Yeah, he's cool.
SPEAKER_03:He's cool. At the moment you actually respond with the correct answers, he's like, wait, wait,
SPEAKER_04:what? He's literally going to break character and be like, are you okay? No, for real, are you okay? Do you need to talk? I'm here. I'm here. I'm here if you need to talk. He's like, I don't need any information from you. I just need to know, are you good? Like, are you cool? You're not acting like yourself. You're not. Now I'm kind of hoping. I'm kind of hoping it's the same person. Oh, fuck, man. I kind of am now. But yeah, I just wanted to share some of those to give you an idea of, like, number one, how to handle that situation. Number two, just be aware. You know what I mean? Be aware of what they're trying to do, what they're looking for, all that kind of shit. Because, again, it's the same thing as fishing. They're throwing a name out there, hoping to get lucky. um they're they're using probably common names that would be used the most and and and chuck that out there and and hopefully get lucky and and match a name you know what i'm saying and
SPEAKER_03:or their response of no i'm such and such yeah
SPEAKER_04:no this is so and so oh i'm sorry it's the wrong number then but it's very nice to meet you and then try to act like they want to buddy you know they try to butter you up and get information out of you so it's like just just don't fall for it you know if you if you if you're not like Like me, you don't want to have fun? Delete it. Delete
SPEAKER_03:the message. Yeah, you want to be lame like me, just delete it. Ignore it.
SPEAKER_04:Delete it. Move on. If you want to have fun, like I do, come on. Have fun with it. Just tell them stupid-ass fucking shit. Be like, you know what? Did you know? Did you know? Did you know? It just hit him with stupid random facts. Tell them about how ants can lift 10 times their own body weight. Just do stupid shit. And they'll be like, what the fuck? Or they'll tell you goodbye. Just examples of random shit to do. But yeah, scammers, they're out there. Be weary. Be aware. Again, I know it's a little strange for us to talk about, but... I know we all have to deal with emails and text messages and phone numbers. Again, we've talked about it a lot. AI, people use it for nefarious shit nowadays. So we just want you to be aware. Be careful and protect yourself. Protect the people you know. And let them know. Pass the word along. And if they want to have fun with you, let them have fun with them. It's a good time. You can absolutely get a good laugh out of it. And then you can keep those messages and share them with your friends, and they'll get a kick out of it. Yes, they will. You know what I mean? They will. It's funny. It's funny when you hear stuff like that. You're like, God damn, and they were still texting you? Like on some of them, I'm like, you're really not going to give up. That's amazing. Nope.
SPEAKER_03:Nope. Nope.
SPEAKER_04:So... Yeah, that's always fun. I know I did a lot of talking today, but...
SPEAKER_03:You did do a lot of talking. It's because you fuck with
SPEAKER_04:them. Yeah, I fuck with them. I have stories to share. Yes. To me, it's entertainment. It's entertainment. I like to troll people anyway. And if I can't troll people without them... If I can't troll people... in front of me immediately. They come to me now. I
SPEAKER_03:don't even leave my house.
SPEAKER_01:I ain't got to do anything. They just come to me.
SPEAKER_03:Door dashing troll
SPEAKER_04:activities is what they're doing. Exactly. Straight door dashing troll activities and I'm fine with it. I just have to stay under my fucking troll bridge and I'm good. I'm good. So there you go. Just do with that information what you will. Be careful out there. Protect you and your people that you know. Spread awareness. That's all I'm saying. But other than that, good talk, Yeti. Yes, good talk. I know we're actually a little over right now.
SPEAKER_03:I know, which is fucking shocking. That's amazing.
SPEAKER_04:I'm impressed. I am impressed. So we'll go into some fun and games. Do you want some fun and games? Yeah. Yeah. I'm the only one here. There's only one participant. Listen, technically, too. Let me just ask you a question. Let me put this out there to you. Okay. I'm going to ask you to choose a side,
SPEAKER_03:and it's red pill or blue pill. Oh, I wonder if this is a fucking picture that I screenshot, because I see some of this random shit. Hold on. Hold on. Hold on. Hold on. Hold on. Okay, it's not. Mine are four pills. Okay,
SPEAKER_04:go
SPEAKER_03:ahead.
SPEAKER_04:Okay. I got a red pill side. I got a blue pill side. Red pill. You ready? These are the sides you're choosing. It's going to be Adam Sandler movies. Big Daddy.
SPEAKER_02:Okay.
SPEAKER_04:The Waterboy. Okay. Happy Gilmore. Okay. Billy Madison.
SPEAKER_02:Okay.
SPEAKER_04:Little Nicky. That's your red pill.
SPEAKER_02:Okay.
SPEAKER_04:Blue pill. Jim Carrey's eye. You got The Mask. Ace Ventura Pet Detective. The Cable Guy. Liar Liar. And Dumb and Dumber. Which pill are you taking? The crazy part is, I've actually seen every single one of these movies.
SPEAKER_03:Yeah, same here, same here. And I can tell you, in my opinion, and this could be the weakest Jim Carrey movie out of them five, for me, would be Cable. Okay. Even though it's a classic, it's funny as fuck. But out of the ones that you mentioned, that's the weakest out of the five, in my opinion. Adam Sandler's side, again, how much I enjoyed it, still the weakest, Little Nicky. Ooh, really? What were the other ones? Happy
SPEAKER_04:Gilmore, Billy Madison,
SPEAKER_03:The Waterboy, Big Daddy. Yeah. Yeah. Little Nicky. Yeah. Easy. Easy on that one. Yeah.
SPEAKER_04:Yeah. Okay. Okay.
SPEAKER_03:And, and, and just, I'm just trying to like, I don't know. I'm trying to rate and see which ones I gravitate toward more and it's going to have to be Ace Ventura. I mean, the water boy had me, no, not the water boy. Uh, Ace Ventura, paid detective had me in a fucking chokehold. Oh yeah. It still had me. Yeah. Still quote it.
SPEAKER_04:You still
SPEAKER_03:quote it to this day. And that's what I'm saying. Like fucking chokehold. For 20 years. I get it. I
SPEAKER_04:get
SPEAKER_03:it. So are you popping the blue
SPEAKER_04:pill?
SPEAKER_03:Yeah. Yeah, I'm going blue pill.
SPEAKER_04:Okay. Okay. Because it would be hard to turn my back on Ace Ventura. You're not wrong. It would be hard. Right. And I love Liar Liar. Right. And the mask was super zany. And again, it fit Jim Carrey. And I quote the mask on a daily.
SPEAKER_03:See? I'm literally
SPEAKER_04:like... But you told me to freeze. He's like, all right, all right, unfreeze. So it's like, it's hard to give that up because Jim Carrey has had some bangers. But I go to the red pill side and I'm like, Big Daddy,
SPEAKER_01:but I wipe my own ass. I wipe my own ass.
SPEAKER_04:Hip Hop Anonymous? Damn you, you gave him all the easy ones. You come to my store? You never order BLT. Stay away from BLT. He's like, all right, stop scaring the kid. The fucking water boy. My mama said, my mama said, my mama said, stop picking on me.
SPEAKER_03:This is some
SPEAKER_04:high quality ice. He spit in the water cooler. happy gilmore and we're finally getting a
SPEAKER_03:sequel and we're getting a sequel
SPEAKER_04:now
SPEAKER_03:i still think this i honestly because we had this discussion last podcast if i'm not mistaken uh i don't think it will be as good as the first i think it's just going to be a nostalgic movie
SPEAKER_04:for the most part that's that's all it's going to be but billy madison back to school yes to school He's like, everybody peacing their pants. It's the cool thing to do. And then he fucking pisses. Yeah, he pisses his fucking pants. He gets drunk and sees the penguin everywhere. It's too hot out here for a penguin. He's like, oh, I'm sorry. I didn't know you had company. Carry on. Little Nicky. Little Nicky. I know. Honestly, when Little Nicky came out, I watched that movie over and over and over again because that shit was fucking hilarious. You can do it. Cover Winkler and Bees again. You can do it. He's like, sorry, Henry. Say Mr. Beebe. Say Mr. Beebe. Mr. Beebe. And I left.
SPEAKER_03:I mean, they're all great movies, but again, going off of which ones, it's going to be, I'm sorry, it's going to be Jim Carrey. I'm not, but I say that, but I'm not taking anything away from it.
SPEAKER_04:I get it. I get it. I get it. Because for me, it's a tough decision. But I would probably have to go Red Pill. For me, I'd have to go Red Pill. You're going Adam. I hate to turn my back on Ace Ventura like that. That's fair. I'd have to pop the Red Pill. Because honestly, I'd venture to say I've watched... I'm just basing it off of how many times I've watched each movie. That's fair. And each movie on Adam Sandler's side, I have watched multiple times and have gotten a very good guffaw out of each one. On Jim Carrey's side, I'd probably say the only ones I've watched multiple times would be Ace Ventura, The Cable Guy... and maybe Liar Liar. Like Dumb and Dumber I've seen a few times. I didn't bother watching Dumb and Dumber-er. I heard it was kind of a miss. I heard it was kind of a miss. The Mask, I've watched a couple of times here and there. I still enjoy it. Cause it's Jim Carrey. You know, we watched the fucking, how the Grinch stole Christmas. Yeah. Like
SPEAKER_03:three weeks ago,
SPEAKER_04:like three weeks ago. And I fucking love it. I'm a psycho. No, it is. It's, it's fucking good. He's hilarious. I, again, like you said, I take nothing away from Jim Carrey, but for me, Adam said those, that, that those movies are, had me in a chokehold for a long time. And that's where I'm like, I'd have to take the red pill. I would have to, because yeah, those would take up a lot of my time.
SPEAKER_03:See, I lived in Pet Detective. I mean, I don't know how many times. See? No, I couldn't even. And then Lila, I watched quite a few also, as well as Mask.
SPEAKER_01:Mama.
SPEAKER_03:Cable Guy and Dumb and Dumber, I'd have to say, I've watched Cable Guy just a few times, and then Dumb and Dumber a little more than a few. Right. See, now, I thought you had this picture, because I screenshot random shit that I put up on, like, TikTok or whatever, and I'm like, ooh, this is going to be a good conversation to start at some point during the podcast. That's what I do. Yeah, and this one's got four... The Martian, Superman, Goku, and Omni-Man from Invincible. Yep. And it says, green pill, red pill, blue pill, white pill. Become a Martian, become a Kryptonian, become a Saiyan, become...
SPEAKER_04:Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, we kind of did something like that a little while ago. Yeah. On a fun and games. It was like either become a Saiyan or something else.
UNKNOWN:Yes.
SPEAKER_04:And everybody was like, well, if you become a Saiyan, you have the opportunity to turn into a Super Saiyan, but you got to work for it. Right. Had a whole discussion about that. But no, like if ever, if ever you do hold on to them and we can stay up for fun and games. But yeah, there you go. All right. Well, we'll try to wrap this up real quick. Finally, we'll come to our fun fact. Do you want one? Do you want a fun fact?
SPEAKER_03:Sure. Absolutely.
SPEAKER_04:Okay. This is going to be, it's kind of funny that I picked this one. Especially after the story you told earlier about your toilet mishap.
SPEAKER_01:Did you
SPEAKER_04:know that the largest piece of fossilized dinosaur poo discovered is over 30 centimeters long and over 2 liters in volume? Believed to be a Tyrannosaurus Rex turd, the fossilized dung also named a coprolite is helping scientists better understand what the dinosaur ate. So, what does that mean? Does fossilized dinosaur poo exist? Well, of course. Dino dung can provide direct evidence about what these prehistoric reptiles ate. Dinosaurs, like all animals, would have needed to expel waste. Sometimes pieces of dinosaur feces turned into fossils, which we can find today. These are called Some paleontologists specialize in studying coprolites and use them to understand what food dinosaurs ate and how they fit into larger food chains. The most famous dinosaur coprolite is an enormous specimen found in late Cretaceous rocks in Canada. At over 30 centimeters long and more than 2 liters in volume, this huge piece of scat could only have been produced... by the largest predator in the ecosystem, and that would be the Tyrannosaurus rex. Although a T-Rex poo in itself is interesting or perhaps disgusting, depending on your sensibilities, this fossil is also important. It's full of chunks of bone, which tell us that T-Rex could bite so hard that it crushed the bones of its prey. A highly unusual way of eating with no obvious modern equivalent. other dinosaur coprolites have been found with plants inside and one even contains decomposing wood a sign that the dinosaur was supplementing its nutrition with fungi and bugs that feed on rotting logs there you go they can actually kind of get an inside view of what dinosaurs were eating back in the day how their diet was like But that's crazy that the T-Rex had enough bite force to just crush bone. Like, just... Right, right. Like, that's... That's crazy.
SPEAKER_03:That's impressive. So I got a question.
SPEAKER_04:Yeah.
SPEAKER_03:Do you think dinosaurs look the way they say they did, or do you think we're completely way off?
SPEAKER_04:So when you say the way they say they did, do you mean, like, Jurassic Park style, or do you mean, like, how they're saying, like, legitimately they look?
SPEAKER_03:Because they've changed over the past few years. They're saying a lot of these dinosaurs may have had feathers.
SPEAKER_04:Not necessarily feathers, but quills, which are similar. But yeah, the T-Rex, they believe, actually had quills up on the top of its head and kind of down its back.
SPEAKER_03:Because all those are just little, I'm going to call them spikes, but that's what a quill is, right? Kind of, sort of, yeah. Like a soft...
SPEAKER_04:Yeah. Because in all reality, and it was funny because I told our nephew that birds are dinosaurs, and he freaked out. And he was like, I'm scared. I was like, really? He's like, they're dinosaurs. Because you equate dinosaurs to a giant T-Rex. Yes, yes, yes. It's not that kind of dinosaur, bro. They're avian dinosaurs. Like, literally, birds are... dinosaurs. They live among us, which is kind of funny because telling people that, they look at me like I'm some kind of weird pug. But yeah, so they do believe that dinosaurs did have quills on them because they strongly believe that a lot of dinosaurs, a lot of dinosaurs, were very closely related to birds. They had the same build as birds did as far as their arms and stuff were formed and all that kind of stuff.
UNKNOWN:So
SPEAKER_04:Do I believe that's how they look? Probably not 100%, but probably pretty close. I'd venture to say upwards of 80% and above. Especially with today's technology, they're literally capable of, and I don't know if you know this, but they're literally capable of recreating the sound of an actual T-Rex.
SPEAKER_03:Yeah, I've heard this. Have you heard it?
SPEAKER_04:I've not heard it. No, I've not heard it, but I've heard that they can do that. Look it up, because honestly, the actual sound of a T-Rex is more terrifying than what we got in Jurassic Park. Oh, my God. Oh, yeah. You have to listen to the whole thing, because when you do, you're like, bro, if I heard that in the middle of the night, I would absolutely shit myself. All right. He's got it up. You can hold up to the microphone.
SPEAKER_00:But with new fossil discoveries related to their voice box, scientists have recreated what the T-Rex actually sounded like.
SPEAKER_04:Ooh. Let it play. Hold it closer to the microphone.
SPEAKER_00:Why do we
SPEAKER_04:hear him so loud? There we go. That's at max, isn't it? Yeah, so tell me if you heard that in the middle of the night. Like, while you're sleeping. Oh, yeah, dude. Put yourself, like, in that... Granted, we were not around at that time, but put yourself in that situation. As a caveman? Yeah, as a caveman. With your loincloth and spear? And you just hear that bitch in the middle of the night. I'm shitting my loincloth. I'm throwing my spear in... Any direction. And I'm hoping and praying that it's hitting whatever the fuck is making that noise. Because absolutely fucking not. You throw the spear, I come in peace. I have no weapon. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. Like, bitch, you'll hear that.
SPEAKER_03:That is pretty fucking terrifying. That's terrifying.
SPEAKER_04:And I'm telling you, if they use that in Jurassic Park, oh my god. Because if you hear that before you see what that's attached to, like what makes that sound. Right.
SPEAKER_03:Nope. But I mean, to be fair though, even the T-Rex on Jurassic Park sounds fucking...
SPEAKER_04:I'm not taking anything away from that T-Rex because I'll tell you what, that loud roar, yeah, I'd shit myself on that too. Right. You know what I mean? Like, yeah, yeah, yeah. But that right there just makes me feel like it's a predator that will stalk me for the rest of my
SPEAKER_03:life. Do you know what's crazy, though? Like, now we're going on a whole new topic.
SPEAKER_04:Hell
SPEAKER_03:yeah. Have you heard, like, what the Black Panthers sound like? Yeah. Or Jaguars? Yes. Like, bro. Yeah. Like, I'm good.
SPEAKER_04:Yeah. I'm good. They are terrifying cats. They truly are. That's why I'm like Pumas. That's basically what they are. Just leave them alone.
SPEAKER_03:Leave them alone. I always talk about wanting to go on a safari. I would love. To this day, if I had the funds and the ability to do it, I would do it without hesitation.
SPEAKER_04:Just to see that leopard climb into the car with me. I want to be able
SPEAKER_03:to pickle lions nuts, okay?
SPEAKER_04:Hey, yo, Mufasa. Hey, yo, Mufasa. Where's Scar at? Huh? Where's Scar at? You'll get eaten
SPEAKER_03:so fast. Without a doubt. So fucking
SPEAKER_04:fast. Oh, shit. So there you go. T-Rex poop. largest poop that they found from dinosaurs. Do with that information.
SPEAKER_03:As you will, right.
SPEAKER_04:But anyway, I know we are over, which
SPEAKER_03:is wild to me.
SPEAKER_04:Absolutely wild to me. Again, I'm impressed and kind of proud that I know that two of us can carry this whole thing all the way home. It's fucking amazing.
