Thoughts and Rambles: It's 2023....Yay? · I Was Thinking…

• 1:05
  Hello, hello. Hello.
• 1:07
  What is up, everyone? It's your house Simone and I'm
• 1:11
  the feasts and I may see, okay? I was like what if you go
• 1:15
  welcome back. I was thinking it's a new year.
• 1:20
  I don't know if I should say happy new year, but it's a new
• 1:24
  year. We're in 2023, which is a
• 1:28
  mouthful to say and I'm ready for 2024, I'm ready.
• 1:32
  I know we're almost at the end of He is has it hasn't been
• 1:35
  good. It hasn't been good too much.
• 1:38
  Personally you trying to tell me that the month of my birth
• 1:41
  hasn't treated you. Well this you know but January's
• 1:47
  great because you were born May see.
• 1:49
  So that's the only reason why I like the month of January happy.
• 1:52
  Belated birthday. By the way, on the show.
• 1:54
  You're happy 26 in your late 20s.
• 2:01
  Probably exciting. You said, no any changes any
• 2:10
  feelings? My back hurts slightly more than
• 2:14
  it did last year. That's about it.
• 2:16
  But that could be because of my job, I was are the signs of your
• 2:18
  late 20s right now. Like I'm already in so much
• 2:22
  pain. How's it supposed to get any
• 2:24
  worse from here? Oh my God, this the declined and
• 2:29
  just this stupid panting, make it's just a Flash before your
• 2:33
  eyes. Sighs.
• 2:35
  I cannot believe I'm already in my mid-20s little I'm going to
• 2:38
  be in my late 20s, I don't know what's happening anymore.
• 2:42
  I mean, aren't we? Technically still in a pandemic?
• 2:45
  It's ever really gonna end. I mean, at this point it's just
• 2:49
  a little phase out at some point.
• 2:51
  I don't know. I feel like it's one of those
• 2:53
  things where like they're forcing us to live with, which
• 2:55
  is sad. Yeah, I feel like maybe I'm in
• 3:00
  not in the right situations where but I feel like it hasn't
• 3:02
  really affected my life. Much this last year because I
• 3:05
  don't have to wear masks at work.
• 3:08
  We don't really take any specific precautions for
• 3:11
  anything. Like I feel like it's normal
• 3:14
  again, but maybe I'm not going to the places where it's more
• 3:18
  like I was going to say. To be fair, we are in Florida.
• 3:21
  Where things are a bit more Open Access?
• 3:24
  Yeah. Relaxed.
• 3:26
  I mean, but we've never had any restrictions to begin with, so
• 3:30
  yeah. Yeah.
• 3:31
  I mean, I feel like I had to it was hard.
• 3:34
  I'd like initially when I had to stay home from work and we did
• 3:36
  everything on zoom and I had to wear a mask everywhere in public
• 3:39
  and whatnot. But I had their nothing around
• 3:42
  me. That enforces, it know like
• 3:44
  local businesses that I go to my work doesn't we don't even have
• 3:48
  to stay home anymore. If we like we should stay home
• 3:51
  if we get covid but they don't like force us to take a certain
• 3:53
  amount of time until I come back with a negative test anymore.
• 3:57
  She said you feel better you feel better?
• 3:59
  So interesting. I don't know if that's a good
• 4:01
  thing or not but I feel like that's a good thing.
• 4:06
  They still give us covid days, though.
• 4:07
  As part of like the school policy, they give us like, five
• 4:11
  days for covid that doesn't come out of your own personal time,
• 4:14
  which is good. But at the same time, it's like,
• 4:16
  you have to come up with all these different documentation to
• 4:18
  prove that you even had cooled it, right?
• 4:20
  But yeah. No, they don't really ask us for
• 4:22
  anything, like and I don't have, like, covid time off.
• 4:25
  I just, I knock on wood to date. Still have had covid meet ever.
• 4:30
  Knock on wood as well same. So I do Don't know, you know?
• 4:35
  Like, I know it. I feel like it has really
• 4:36
  affected me because I didn't have it to begin with.
• 4:38
  I had to go through, like, the hard times at the beginning but
• 4:42
  now I feel like the last year has been pretty normal.
• 4:45
  Yeah, my family even flew from California to see us as
• 4:50
  Christmas, which they haven't done in years because my cousin
• 4:52
  super afraid of covid. It had like she was pregnant.
• 4:56
  When it initially started. And she had another child, since
• 4:59
  it has like fizzled. I'm gonna make babies.
• 5:02
  Yeah, so she did. Quote since people can't see so.
• 5:06
  Yeah, because like sometimes were very sarcastic them.
• 5:09
  Like does this translate? Well through audio.
• 5:12
  So does it I probably should like we need like a sound or
• 5:15
  something wrong with the right have to find.
• 5:18
  I'm yeah I do I usually say quote unquote but I don't know.
• 5:21
  Maybe I need to start incorporating sounds or
• 5:23
  something great. And I still see people in public
• 5:26
  wearing masks, I still do to be honest me to where I go.
• 5:30
  Sometimes it's also kind of like one of those things where like
• 5:32
  if I'm feeling balmy I wear masks or like even then I also
• 5:36
  just think because I work in healthcare and no offense just
• 5:40
  seek how Healthcare is like I I'm just waiting until it's
• 5:44
  clear clear which again yeah as we just said don't know if
• 5:47
  that's ever going to happen but I just if I can I do.
• 5:52
  Yeah, I'd rather be safe than sorry.
• 5:53
  I don't really care. Why are you so proud to see my
• 5:56
  face? First of all, does it really
• 5:58
  matter that much? That's so funny because like, I
• 6:01
  still wear a mask at school and the kids are like This.
• 6:04
  We've never seen your face and I'm like, it doesn't matter.
• 6:07
  Just focus on the contact. Exactly what setting am I in
• 6:11
  right now to where you are. So hard pressed, you need to see
• 6:15
  my face. What is seeing my face going to
• 6:17
  make a difference of what I do? That's like this Tick Tock.
• 6:20
  I came across this girl that like was telling about her.
• 6:24
  I mean, still recently, especially with like everything
• 6:26
  being lifted working in retail and she still wears the mask
• 6:30
  because she feels comfortable wearing a mask.
• 6:32
  And she did like this one scenario where Try to help a
• 6:34
  customer and the woman's protect like, just acting obnoxious like
• 6:38
  she can't hear because the mask, which is yeah.
• 6:42
  I understand because like, if you're hard of hearing and
• 6:45
  you're used to lip liberating. Yeah, yeah.
• 6:49
  That's one of those things where I know when the pandemic was
• 6:51
  very heavy, people are coming out with those Mass, where you
• 6:53
  can still see, like your lips, especially for like people with
• 6:57
  like hearing a or disabled. So I understand that, but the
• 7:00
  way she was saying it was a scenario where the woman was
• 7:02
  just being, you know, Annoying. Yes, clock rolling hitch.
• 7:07
  Karen. I'm just gonna try and avoid
• 7:10
  saying a Karen, what overplay the word care and it's lost.
• 7:14
  Its meaning. So I feel bad for all the
• 7:16
  genuinely. Nice people named Karen, though.
• 7:20
  Anywhere anyway, that's just what's the male equivalent of
• 7:23
  that. What's their name?
• 7:25
  Chad? Chad, I've heard that Chad,
• 7:28
  makes me think of a frat guy willing muscles from steroids.
• 7:34
  What's the equivalent full of? Like the ones that are like
• 7:37
  very, you know what? Maybe I shouldn't say this.
• 7:40
  Never mind again. We going back to the shit.
• 7:44
  I say certain stuff or should I keep that private?
• 7:47
  What? We're not recording.
• 7:49
  Yeah. That's the Dilemma for this new
• 7:51
  chapter. This new year of the podcast,
• 7:54
  it's fine, it's fine. I mean, we don't have to pick a
• 7:56
  sacrificial name to call. People just don't be a jerk in
• 8:00
  public, right, or be a jerk at all, like, just mind your
• 8:03
  business. Father and you people just I
• 8:06
  think people just want to be right, like they have some like
• 8:10
  complex going on that. They just have to be right.
• 8:12
  And they can't admit that any other people can have their own
• 8:16
  feelings and opinions about things.
• 8:18
  Yeah. I don't even bother arguing with
• 8:19
  people like that. That's never going to change.
• 8:21
  That's just yeah, it's called narcissism like we're not going
• 8:25
  to get past that unfortunately. Yeah and that's why a lot of
• 8:28
  change won't happen but people are too stubborn.
• 8:34
  Man, I'm at when they're wrong. I had to come with compromises
• 8:38
  that works for everybody, right? I probably should wear a mask of
• 8:43
  work, only because I inhale so much dog hair, but at the same
• 8:46
  time, I get so hot and it gets in my mask anyway, and I was
• 8:50
  just like, it was very uncomfortable to wear them when
• 8:53
  I had to wear them in the beginning.
• 8:55
  So, but they've taken they've taken our like, glass Shields
• 8:59
  down. They've taken the stickers off
• 9:00
  the floor sayings to six feet apart.
• 9:02
  There's no, Regulation whatsoever at our store at least
• 9:06
  and and nobody seems to be wearing them like by choice or
• 9:09
  not. Yeah, like employee wise, if
• 9:11
  you're sick I have seen people wear masks to work when they're
• 9:14
  sick, but not necessarily with covid.
• 9:17
  Just sickness in general hell. But that's really the only
• 9:20
  thing. Okay, well enough of covid cuz
• 9:23
  we all spent like 10 minutes ago.
• 9:24
  But are you guys doing besides covid and this New Year of 2023.
• 9:31
  I'm doing okay. Recovering from my annual
• 9:35
  sickness of the fees gets sick the last week of the year every
• 9:40
  year. And then she has a lingering
• 9:42
  cough for like the next two months.
• 9:43
  But it's gotten better, so it's good.
• 9:47
  Yeah. Well, you may see, all right,
• 9:51
  I've just been, I feel like all I do is work and then come home
• 9:54
  and yeah sleep and like I haven't even Really done any of
• 10:02
  the activities. I enjoy yet which I started like
• 10:06
  reorganizing my room. I don't know if you can tell but
• 10:09
  I'm in a different position that I usually am.
• 10:11
  I don't think if he's has seen me since I moved, but probably,
• 10:16
  I don't know actually, but I tried to really create you moved
• 10:20
  again after you did your original move know so she's
• 10:23
  probably have coz I think once or twice at the house because
• 10:28
  yeah, at the apartment before and then we moved to the house.
• 10:30
  Have not seen you at the house. I've seen at the apartment.
• 10:33
  Yeah, but even in my room has seen me since I moved here.
• 10:40
  But I moved things around and I'm trying to like declutter my
• 10:43
  groom and an effort to declutter my life.
• 10:47
  So I feel like I just feel it's always a mess and I feel like
• 10:52
  lazy about it and like bad about it.
• 10:55
  So I figure if I have less stuff and it's if I can organize it
• 10:58
  properly, the first time I'll be able to keep it Miss to keep it
• 11:01
  clean and that will make me feel better and then I wont like get
• 11:04
  home and feel like I have a lot of shit to do because my room is
• 11:07
  messy. So that's my that's my like I'm
• 11:10
  not going to call it a New Year's resolution because I will
• 11:12
  fail with that. But I'm just trying to like
• 11:17
  declutter and then hopefully I'll feel better in general.
• 11:21
  I don't feel bad. I just this, it doesn't register
• 11:24
  to me that it's a new year yet. It's still early.
• 11:26
  I am I still am having trouble writing the year on paperwork
• 11:30
  and Stuff. Like, I don't really quantify
• 11:32
  like, oh it's a new year. I was supposed to feel different
• 11:35
  like, with birthdays and stuff. I'm with him.
• 11:36
  I feel any different. I was just like can time is just
• 11:39
  continuously going social concept.
• 11:42
  Anyway. Yeah, just like time.
• 11:44
  But shit, I really want to go back to our
• 11:59
  all over. And like do a count of how many
• 12:02
  times you've mentioned. This will get annoyed with me.
• 12:08
  Well, my God. I understand how people so
• 12:11
  listen, so times, but hey, So yeah.
• 12:16
  As you all heard me in the beginning.
• 12:18
  I'm not doing well but I'm pushing forward.
• 12:22
  Yeah it's just been a lot. I really need to take like not
• 12:28
  just like a social media break but just some type of media
• 12:31
  Break Even though I don't want to because I feel like I need to
• 12:33
  know what's going on in the world because it's stuff that
• 12:35
  affects us. But at the same time, it's just
• 12:38
  like a lot. And then, like personally, I
• 12:41
  told may see this, but I didn't tell you the feast We're kind of
• 12:44
  like in the stages of like, getting ready to put my dog.
• 12:49
  Bella down. So she had a vet appointment.
• 12:54
  Either a week or two weeks from here.
• 12:56
  Now like I already do is bad and I don't know if I ever said this
• 12:59
  on the podcast, but she's like a rescue dog.
• 13:01
  So we never knew like, how old she actually is, she was always
• 13:04
  older. But yeah, so like when she came
• 13:08
  back my dad was already emotional.
• 13:10
  The vet told him that like in one eye she's already like
• 13:13
  completely blind. And the other one, she still has
• 13:15
  a little site left. The way she's been a hat in the
• 13:20
  house where like she doesn't seem like where she is or where,
• 13:22
  she knows where she is. She Like little doggie
• 13:25
  Alzheimer's. So yeah.
• 13:28
  My dad got some medicine from the vet but I don't know.
• 13:34
  Like when they're I post this episode or like maybe a little
• 13:37
  bit later, we're probably gonna have to put her down.
• 13:39
  Try not to get emotional, I haven't been emotional lately,
• 13:42
  but I know when I was telling someone at work, I started
• 13:44
  crying because I've had it for 10 years now.
• 13:48
  It's hard. Men.
• 13:50
  Amazing went through this with her dogs, but it's always hard.
• 13:52
  Especially if you've had Them first, so young, and for so
• 13:55
  long. So that's also another thing
• 13:58
  where it's just been defeated me.
• 14:00
  I know once we do it. Mmm.
• 14:02
  And I get over like the initial of like having her God, it'll be
• 14:06
  fine. But right now it's just like
• 14:09
  we're just trying to make sure we do it before she really
• 14:12
  starts suffering. Now she seems fine but because I
• 14:15
  never want to see a dog suffer. That's what happened with my
• 14:17
  first dog, Alex. Like I feel like we waited too
• 14:19
  long to where he was like just suffering so I don't want to Go
• 14:23
  through that again. Hmm.
• 14:26
  But yeah, that's just been me. What is the typical life span of
• 14:29
  a dog? It depends on the breed.
• 14:31
  Okay, smaller dogs usually have longer lifespans than bigger,
• 14:34
  dogs Yorkies apparently, can live up for a long time.
• 14:39
  I don't know the year and I wish, I knew how old Bella is
• 14:42
  because like when we got her I've had it for 10 years.
• 14:47
  When we got her the vet said she was between the age of five and
• 14:50
  six or five and seven because of her teeth.
• 14:53
  'The so, but I still don't know how old I would technically make
• 14:56
  her. So as I don't know, if she was
• 14:58
  on the younger side, like around 5:00 or like the older side like
• 15:02
  seven, maybe eight. I just don't know.
• 15:05
  So, even if she was on the younger side of 515 so long
• 15:09
  time, that's for sure. Piper my or key only lived to be
• 15:12
  13. So and he had he had a seizure
• 15:16
  but like so he could have lived longer because he was healthy
• 15:19
  otherwise. But like I think that's pretty,
• 15:22
  I think that's a pretty good life.
• 15:23
  And if she's on the older side 15 to like, I don't think they
• 15:26
  really go past 18 or 19 at least most of the ones I see in this
• 15:31
  Lon if I see who your key on my books that's like above 30, nice
• 15:36
  Panic, a little bit because they're usually really hard to
• 15:38
  work with because they, it hurts.
• 15:40
  Yeah. Yeah.
• 15:41
  Usually have arthritis. They're very small to begin with
• 15:44
  your keys. Don't really like having their
• 15:46
  legs touched in general and their feet touched.
• 15:48
  So it's like I always get a little bit worried because I'm
• 15:52
  like they're wrong. I not To be in the best shape as
• 15:54
  they're gonna hate it. And it's just, it's sad, you
• 15:57
  know, because I'll, it's like, I have to do it.
• 15:58
  It's my job, and it's going to make them feel better in the
• 16:00
  long run, but it's difficult. So, yeah.
• 16:05
  So that's just pretty much where I have been lately, so, it hurts
• 16:12
  to look at herself. Yeah, yeah, trust me I when we
• 16:18
  had to put Lucy down, Lucy was I think she was around 13 or 14 as
• 16:23
  well. She had cancer so and it was in
• 16:26
  her throat and it was like slowly closing her throat.
• 16:30
  So we had to make that decision at some point before.
• 16:33
  It got too bad and I ugly cry marble longest time.
• 16:39
  And like, I went to work, I had to go to work the next day and I
• 16:43
  just cried the whole day. I was like, just don't look at
• 16:46
  me. She can you try to get my dogs
• 16:47
  from you? So don't talk to people.
• 16:49
  I'm gonna do my job, but I'm going to cry the whole time, so
• 16:53
  yeah. Am I my one manager already
• 16:55
  knows? Because I talk about Bella all
• 16:56
  the time and she always acts so I already warned her when I was
• 16:59
  telling her the story before I went on a break, I'm like listen
• 17:02
  I will probably take a day or two.
• 17:04
  You got your just going to have to give me like some headspace
• 17:08
  of like, realization probably gonna have to do some cleaning
• 17:12
  up her stuff. I don't know what we're gonna do
• 17:14
  with her stuff, like her little doggie stairs to get on the bed
• 17:17
  and all that, but kept like Lucy's collar and a keep going.
• 17:23
  Allah's caller her like favorite toy that wasn't like completely
• 17:28
  destroyed. And then I just took the rest of
• 17:29
  it to an animal shelter and donated it, but like I have, I
• 17:34
  can't, I still have Piper's collar around my rearview mirror
• 17:37
  in my car, and then Lucy didn't have a tag because she hated the
• 17:41
  tag. She would like, rip them off of
• 17:42
  her. So, I just have her call her in
• 17:44
  like my top of like other sentimental things from life.
• 17:50
  So, Yeah, this is basically a ramble episode.
• 17:55
  Any rants, we want to try to get out the way guys, anything on
• 17:59
  the world, you know. I think you guys have been
• 18:03
  paying attention to coin onto the world, I mean I think of
• 18:06
  recessions already pretty much happening so what everyone's
• 18:08
  talking about prices are just something.
• 18:10
  We already started the recession when eggs were like eight
• 18:14
  dollars. My gosh.
• 18:16
  Every time I think we are. I keep hearing that we haven't
• 18:19
  that we're on the Teeter, but they're trying not to, and it's
• 18:21
  just like, you just say, we are already.
• 18:24
  I feel like we've been at least it's last year.
• 18:28
  I feel like it really slapped me in the face when I went to
• 18:31
  Walmart. And like Walmart brand 12 like a
• 18:35
  dozen eggs was like seven. Something I'm like never the
• 18:38
  Walmart brain. Yes.
• 18:40
  And I'm like never and I double-checked the little tag to
• 18:42
  just to make sure I was seeing correctly and it was like,
• 18:46
  Walmart brand, one dozen grade A eggs, like seven something, six
• 18:50
  something on my this is crazy. Crazy kids playing on, my dad
• 18:54
  hasn't bought eggs in about a week.
• 18:55
  Yeah. Is that man eats eggs every day?
• 18:58
  And I haven't seen them in there for a while.
• 19:00
  Yeah. And I'm like, it's not even
• 19:01
  worth it. This point eggs can wait.
• 19:03
  What is like? That's one thing that's just so
• 19:05
  essential to know. It's like, what else?
• 19:09
  But I researched it though and I think it had more to do with
• 19:12
  like the chickens that were laying the eggs and stuff, had
• 19:16
  there was like a bird flew going on.
• 19:17
  So that's why they had to, you know, that's why eggs were in
• 19:21
  short supply, which is why the demand for it went up and all
• 19:25
  that. I don't know.
• 19:27
  Yeah, I just don't know, I don't, I don't know anymore.
• 19:31
  I don't know what's happening. I'm just glad that gas with down
• 19:37
  in my area. I don't know if it has for you
• 19:39
  guys but I put premium gas in my car and I could not afford that
• 19:44
  down. It's like 3:30 in my area 337.
• 19:49
  I think when I got gas yesterday.
• 19:51
  So depending on where you go. Because I live, I do live in a
• 19:55
  tourist town. So you cannot get gas speech
• 19:57
  that I do have to get it in town and if you Get it in town.
• 20:02
  It's like between two forty, two, three.
• 20:04
  And then you go Beach Titans immediately like 3:30 to 350.
• 20:09
  So I think that's how much it is here as well.
• 20:12
  Around like 315 320 that range five dollars a gallon at one
• 20:17
  point for premium gas like the regular stuff was like for
• 20:20
  something but that's too much. Yeah, my car doesn't get very
• 20:24
  good gas mileage. So I have to fill up at least
• 20:27
  once a week. Hmm.
• 20:29
  And now I live farther live like 30.
• 20:31
  It's some sort of ten minutes, yeah, but all of that factors
• 20:35
  into it really does. So do you guys have a Costco
• 20:39
  membership, they sell cheaper gas, the Costco.
• 20:43
  I was going to say, I don't think I have a Costco's near me.
• 20:45
  I have a Sam's Club around me which is basically a Costco's my
• 20:49
  dad has. Once you fill up your gas there
• 20:52
  though because they have cheaper gas.
• 20:54
  What? Like the Sands he expressly with
• 20:57
  stuff like that. It's just always so busy and
• 21:00
  like even shopping in there. Even though you get stuff in
• 21:02
  bulk, I feel like it's just more expensive than just buying what
• 21:05
  you actually need here. So it's like, am I really
• 21:09
  getting anything from this? I feel like like big families
• 21:13
  benefit from places like that. Yeah.
• 21:15
  But like I have a why I'm so bad especially with my social cues.
• 21:19
  If there's any place that's just too many people or too crowded.
• 21:23
  I try to avoid as much as I can see two.
• 21:26
  I guess manic it does and I'm not good in chaos.
• 21:30
  Yeah. Last year, I went to a Bucky's
• 21:33
  for the first time in my life, I bought had to pay an executive
• 21:38
  Casey. Did you know, they built one
• 21:39
  here? I just never been in it.
• 21:41
  Yeah, I know it was there, but I'm into anything because it's
• 21:43
  always crazy, you know, I'm not going.
• 21:47
  I literally almost had a panic attack by moms like it's the
• 21:50
  coolest place you'll ever see. Like what?
• 21:52
  Like, well not the coolest place.
• 21:53
  So it seemed like it was a gas station.
• 21:55
  It's a gas station because we have a gas station line here
• 21:59
  called busy bees. And it's my Because it's always
• 22:02
  super clean. The bathrooms are gorgeous.
• 22:04
  Like they have cool interesting, like snacks and jerky and stuff
• 22:08
  like that. But it's not nearly as giant as
• 22:11
  Bucky's is and it was like I feel like I'm a little salmon in
• 22:15
  a school of fish and everything is touching me and I need to get
• 22:18
  out of here and if the food wasn't even like like we stopped
• 22:22
  to get breakfast or something. I'm like this is like this is a
• 22:25
  gas station sick like breakfast sandwich.
• 22:28
  That was not worth going in there.
• 22:31
  The first I went to a puppy's was in Atlanta.
• 22:33
  Apparently, that one is the biggest one they have on the
• 22:36
  side or something, but it wasn't.
• 22:38
  I guess the time we want. It wasn't as busy Coast because
• 22:41
  Bucky's I think originated from Texas.
• 22:44
  Yeah. I think on the East Coast but it
• 22:45
  was it was really cool because like I've never seen a gas
• 22:48
  station that I can longest. And inside of it, look pretty
• 22:51
  interesting. But like you said there were
• 22:53
  just too many people like, oh my God, if there were so many
• 22:57
  people because I have, like, if somebody touches me in public,
• 23:00
  like, bump shoulders, Hers with me, I want to scream like how
• 23:04
  it's just like this. I'm like, this is not six feet
• 23:08
  apart covid Russian because that was like a year ago.
• 23:11
  That's when you're trying to make a beeline to the bathroom
• 23:17
  and you just like stopped like every five seconds.
• 23:20
  Oh, I like this. I like this is worse than
• 23:24
  Disney. I would rather walk through
• 23:26
  Disney right now than be in this, gas station.
• 23:28
  Yeah. Oh God.
• 23:29
  I can't tell you the last time I've been to this.
• 23:31
  Me either but it's I just remember it being crowded middle
• 23:36
  school. That's the last time I've been
• 23:38
  to eat, even when I lived in Orlando, going to college and I
• 23:41
  was closer to Disney, I did not go to Disney.
• 23:44
  Yeah, I went to Universal a bunch, but Dad, never really my
• 23:47
  thing. Like all I wanted to go, I just
• 23:50
  wanted to go to the Wizard World.
• 23:52
  Yeah, that's it. This he's really for like I feel
• 23:55
  like families and like people who are really into this me.
• 23:59
  Yeah, like really is Statistically true.
• 24:03
  I've met those people when I went to college because a lot of
• 24:05
  them especially working it. Well, going to school for like
• 24:08
  Hospitality a lot of them work for Disney.
• 24:10
  You can tell people who were really into this team.
• 24:16
  Yeah. I hey, they took over the world
• 24:19
  or they're starting to 32, or trying to.
• 24:22
  Yeah. The only thing that interests me
• 24:24
  how dizzy sometimes is all see, take talks of like the crazy
• 24:27
  food that people eat there. I'm like that looks really
• 24:29
  yummy. I'd like to try that but I don't
• 24:31
  want Pay $12 for it. So I'll watch you enjoy it and
• 24:35
  just, you know, more like 15 to 20, but okay.
• 24:39
  Yeah, yeah, Stickley can't afford to eat there.
• 24:42
  When I was growing up, it was like, you eat before we go to
• 24:45
  the theme park and then you eat. After we do not eat any of the
• 24:48
  food there and get a snack. Yeah, because why?
• 24:52
  She's like six bucks, right? You can have a singular pretzel
• 24:55
  and if they offer water cups, or if you can go up to the nice
• 24:59
  people, in those stands on the Outside and ice axe for a cup
• 25:02
  and find like waterfowl in the piano or they had Lee drinking
• 25:07
  fountains like in front of the bathroom sometimes.
• 25:09
  Yeah, and acts for like a plastic or like a paper cup.
• 25:13
  That's that's how you got your water pretty much.
• 25:15
  So it's like I'm envious of giving you tips.
• 25:17
  Guys were giving tips to survive theme parks, all right?
• 25:20
  Yeah. Looks like I'm envious because I
• 25:22
  could see all these influencers on Tick-Tock, go to dizzy and
• 25:24
  they're like what I ate at Disney today and it's like ten
• 25:27
  items and I'm like, are you crazy?
• 25:30
  You just that Like my whole life savings.
• 25:33
  Do they let you bring the food? Didn't know it?
• 25:36
  I think, Mike's never allowed you to bring outside food.
• 25:39
  Really don't think so. Yeah, not that.
• 25:41
  I'm aware of. You may have been able to bring
• 25:43
  like water and stuff because, like, you got the yes, but not
• 25:46
  like food food because I remember, I was bringing like,
• 25:51
  what are those called like, those snack bars, granola bars?
• 25:54
  Mmm, like we were able to bring those in.
• 25:58
  That was also a different time now.
• 26:00
  Disney has you like and putting your fingerprints and all that?
• 26:03
  Yeah, I don't know. I just if one day, I could be
• 26:07
  successful enough to be able to afford or one day of eating at
• 26:10
  Disney World, I think I've made ago because it's so expensive.
• 26:15
  I don't want to go out on a right.
• 26:16
  So I just want to like, it always looks.
• 26:18
  So like that. I don't know.
• 26:20
  It could just be the like, people who make it make it look
• 26:23
  really cool, but it doesn't actually taste that good, but it
• 26:25
  just looks so cool date. Some of the stuff.
• 26:29
  I don't know. I understand what you're saying.
• 26:30
  Yeah, maybe one day. I mean, we are on the topic of
• 26:37
  like theme parks and Florida and this place continues to
• 26:40
  disappoint me living here. I just can't make excuses
• 26:44
  anymore. I just try not to get too
• 26:46
  political but like the thing that I've been reading lately
• 26:50
  has been bothering me especially now that I here in Florida and
• 26:55
  like high schools, I guess they can't teach AP and
• 26:59
  African-American studies anymore.
• 27:01
  And there's already a thing about like the don't say gay
• 27:04
  Bill and like Secondary schools, I mean, I don't know.
• 27:08
  I just feel like we're not as Progressive as we claim to be
• 27:14
  and it's also one of those things were, like, I have a
• 27:17
  problem with like, I don't know if we'll ever really know the
• 27:21
  true history of this country, to be honest because I don't know
• 27:24
  what that's going to look like if it ever comes to light, but
• 27:27
  like, I feel like the Erasure of history is just getting worse
• 27:30
  and worse. I definitely think that like, at
• 27:38
  least like future Generations after us are being, I don't want
• 27:43
  to use the word sheltered because I don't like that word,
• 27:46
  but blinded from a lot of the like, realities of things
• 27:51
  because I distinctly, remember going as like a middle schooler
• 27:55
  to the Holocaust Museum and then walking us through all of it and
• 27:59
  having to like see all of those videos and pictures like that,
• 28:02
  I'm never going to forget that. I highly doubt that that would
• 28:06
  be a church field trip that would be approved in today's
• 28:09
  day. Mmm, you know what I mean?
• 28:12
  Like that you would be able to go witness like actual videos
• 28:15
  and photographs of an event that was tragic and happened and like
• 28:19
  learn about it. I'm sure I'm probably probably
• 28:21
  still teach about it, but I highly doubt that, that would be
• 28:23
  a field trip. That we would be allowed to go
• 28:26
  and like witness nowadays. Same with like, a lot of the,
• 28:31
  you know, like slave trade and all of that stuff, like I do.
• 28:34
  How much they talk about it because I distinctly remember a
• 28:37
  lot of the lessons about it and I'm sure that that was watered
• 28:40
  down and itself. I was going to say, even the
• 28:43
  lessons that we got it that, I'm sure it's not even just like the
• 28:46
  full history. I don't know what the gain is.
• 28:51
  Well, I do, but I don't want to say of like, the Erasure of
• 28:55
  things that really happened here.
• 28:57
  So, right. Well, they say, like, I think we
• 29:01
  talked about this in our, in our Avatar episode.
• 29:04
  It's like depending on which country is writing the history
• 29:06
  book, you're going to get a different story.
• 29:09
  So people never want to like publish Hora, bring back shows
• 29:13
  like yeah, yes, yes. Really feel like teach these
• 29:16
  kids. Okay.
• 29:18
  And like I don't I mean because I don't know, I don't I'm not
• 29:21
  around little kids so I don't know what type of shows there
• 29:23
  watching. But I'm like, aren't paying
• 29:25
  melons like that anymore? Like, I feel like as an adult,
• 29:30
  like, I can think back on those types of shows and even not
• 29:33
  Avatar, but like other show. I could think of that just
• 29:35
  really made you think not only like to learn as like, how to
• 29:39
  interact with people, but just like your own values and like,
• 29:43
  how we should be treating others and, just like ways to help
• 29:46
  others. Like, I just again, I just don't
• 29:51
  know what's happening. Really, I'm not really around
• 29:54
  children, so I don't really know what the media is like anymore.
• 29:58
  But I mean, from what I just commercials and what I see
• 30:02
  online, it's mainly, I think, Think positive things like may
• 30:06
  be positive in like helping people but not positive in like
• 30:10
  you have to see the real horrors of the world in order to like
• 30:13
  make change. Like I don't think people want
• 30:15
  their kids to see that because it's awful but it like it's
• 30:18
  something that like needs to be shown because like we're just
• 30:21
  going to repeat our mistakes. I feel like there's a way you
• 30:24
  can do it to where it's not like trauma by like traumatic to the
• 30:29
  kids. Like it can still teach them.
• 30:32
  But again I'll just bring up. Our because I feel like that was
• 30:35
  the best way of like showing horriffic stuff but not really,
• 30:39
  you know, like I'm not traumatized by Avatar.
• 30:42
  I learned stuff from, it's an equivalent in today's day.
• 30:46
  That is like that, though. I think it's more like positive
• 30:49
  and fun colors and whatever, you know, at least from what I've
• 30:54
  seen. But I'm not around children.
• 30:55
  So I think it's really more up to the parents on whether
• 30:57
  they're teaching their kids about these things.
• 30:59
  But are they let me say kids? Are we talking about like
• 31:03
  elementary school, or Like high school, middle school and all of
• 31:06
  them? Honestly, all of them, I would
• 31:09
  think that high schoolers are more aware of what's going on at
• 31:12
  that stage. But, like, I remember learning
• 31:16
  about a lot of things in middle school that was like, elementary
• 31:19
  school is like, they're not going to show you anything
• 31:21
  crazy. But, like, Middle School was
• 31:23
  like, when we started to learn about like the human body, and
• 31:26
  then about human history. So, I distinctly remember that
• 31:31
  age of my life being like, oh shit, things are getting Real.
• 31:36
  So I don't know because I just don't know if that's technically
• 31:39
  becoming a disservice for the kids now and today when they
• 31:42
  have to be thrown into the real harsh truth of reality.
• 31:45
  So I think it's a harsher change.
• 31:47
  Like it's better to like slowly integrate things into society
• 31:52
  rather than oh everything's perfect until you graduate high
• 31:55
  school and then you're dropped into the scary reality.
• 31:58
  That's why a lot of like college age, kids dystopian, almost
• 32:02
  develop, like mental health, issues and anxiety.
• 32:05
  T. Yeah, you know what?
• 32:06
  It's giving me. It's giving me.
• 32:08
  I don't know if you ever read this book may see.
• 32:10
  And I don't remember a lot of it, but I do remember, bits and
• 32:12
  pieces. Giving me the giver.
• 32:14
  Oh yeah, I love like a. Yes, that's what I feel like
• 32:18
  we're running towards. And if he could remember
• 32:21
  anything about the main character where you actually
• 32:23
  learned about like differences and like, starting I know they
• 32:27
  made a movie about it. I think that movie was awful,
• 32:29
  but just like the book itself, that's where I can say, is
• 32:32
  heading towards more than just like, no, like Hunger Games or
• 32:35
  like The Maze Runner. Anything like that.
• 32:37
  Like, realistically, they going to start taking away our color.
• 32:40
  Now are we all going to be what everyone wants to say when they
• 32:43
  don't say they don't see race color blind so we can all.
• 32:47
  I don't know, I just don't know enough people that would like
• 32:52
  freaked out and oppose that like I feel like the world's kind of
• 32:57
  divided on whether like that parenting Styles and like
• 33:01
  government Styles, it's like we want it to be out in the open.
• 33:04
  We want to teach Each it this way.
• 33:06
  And then, there's the other people that like don't want it.
• 33:08
  So, I think that there's enough that it would never actually
• 33:12
  happen like that, but whether it's happening, subconsciously,
• 33:17
  could be happening as well, but I don't know, I would hope that
• 33:20
  there would be enough people out there that wouldn't let that
• 33:22
  happen it. I guess it also goes to thing
• 33:24
  like we were talking about narcissism, like, the level of
• 33:28
  people caring because there's some people out there.
• 33:31
  Sometimes I'm guilty of is like if you're it's not affecting
• 33:34
  you, why should I care? Really.
• 33:37
  So I also think that mindset is starting to becoming a
• 33:41
  disservice, which I understand again, we can't take that much
• 33:46
  information knowing personally because it can become too much.
• 33:50
  But I just need to talk these out sometimes because I'm like,
• 33:53
  that's this is where my mind boggles along.
• 33:56
  So, right and I think you just, it's all about balance, you
• 34:00
  know, it's like, how can I live my life effectively without
• 34:03
  ruining my own self-preservation?
• 34:05
  Ation at the same time helping others.
• 34:08
  So it's like finding that balance of like, okay, I can
• 34:12
  help this much today but then I need to take some for myself too
• 34:15
  so that I don't burn out but how you find that balance is the
• 34:20
  tricky part and like what can I do with the resources that are
• 34:25
  given to me in order to help the most effectively?
• 34:28
  Like I don't, I don't know, you know, Like what can I personally
• 34:33
  do to help the situation except for like trying to educate those
• 34:37
  around me? The best of my ability but I
• 34:40
  don't know everything. That's true.
• 34:44
  I also feel like I guess learning to be more, I guess,
• 34:49
  willing to listen to people that when they are trying to educate
• 34:52
  you on certain stuff, because I know there's a lot of people
• 34:54
  were like, that's where my thing where it gets annoying with
• 34:57
  like, certain people were like, I can excuse, like, some
• 35:00
  ignorance on certain things because I don't know everything,
• 35:03
  but I don't excuse, like, willful ignorance with a lot of
• 35:07
  people. I feel like I've said this
• 35:09
  before, when I talked about like entertainment, we're like you're
• 35:12
  ignorant, something someone try to in the nicest way possible.
• 35:16
  Possible. Either tell you or like, try to
• 35:19
  teach you why this is wrong. Then you continue to do or say
• 35:24
  that same thing when you know it's wrong.
• 35:27
  So is also that Tricky word world we live in guys, tricky
• 35:34
  world. Yeah it's also unfortunate like
• 35:38
  in some situations it's like you can't even speak out because you
• 35:41
  need to be safe to. Yeah, like I know that that is
• 35:45
  that is preached a lot. Like if you're in this situation
• 35:48
  and you are the affected party like Only speak out if it's safe
• 35:53
  for you to do so you know until you can get to a place that
• 35:58
  you're away from it and now it's safe, which is horrible.
• 36:01
  But returning into the giver. Yeah.
• 36:07
  Well it's like it's such a shame because like, I mean, some are
• 36:11
  talking, we're going to go see stray kids in March and arm.
• 36:14
  Like biggest concern is like the distance that we're going to
• 36:17
  have to walk from place to place because we're two women alone
• 36:21
  like That's our main concern for travel.
• 36:23
  What do you mean walk from place to place?
• 36:25
  Like our hotel, to the subway station and the subway station
• 36:30
  to the arena. Like we're mapping out all of
• 36:33
  the locations that we might have to walk to, because we're
• 36:37
  planning on both flying there. So we won't have a car but
• 36:41
  that's like our main concern of our travel like and the subway
• 36:45
  is like walking distance. Well, that's what we're trying
• 36:48
  to figure out what the hotel we stay in the we're also too.
• 36:51
  Like Macy said women and cities that we don't live in.
• 36:56
  I haven't been there since I was ten and I was with my parents.
• 37:01
  So that's different between me being there as a child to now,
• 37:03
  as a grown adult woman, trying to make sure we're both safe.
• 37:07
  Again, Elena is a very big city and the way things are going in
• 37:12
  our economy, a lot of crime is just going up.
• 37:16
  So and it just make sure we stay in a safe Hotel.
• 37:20
  Yeah, there's been more turns about like, oh, not like this
• 37:23
  hotel. Seems cool.
• 37:24
  This is around things that I want to do.
• 37:26
  It's affordable whatever, like those are a secondary concerns
• 37:29
  to is it going to be scary? Can I walk safely in this place?
• 37:33
  I didn't even want to bring my car because car theft is so
• 37:37
  prevalent. There like, that's my main
• 37:39
  reason for not wanting to drive there is because I don't want my
• 37:42
  car to be stolen or broken into because it's so prevalent right
• 37:45
  now. So it's like, how do you and not
• 37:48
  trying to stereotype Atlanta? That could be for any City that?
• 37:51
  You go to that, you're out of, we're like I said, just the way
• 37:54
  our economy is going right now. No matter where you are, is this
• 37:58
  a lot of things because people are like, just getting in their
• 38:01
  desperate stage because we're just tired, can't afford a lot
• 38:06
  of stuff, you know, this one that nature.
• 38:10
  So, It's getting rough out here. It's just kind of sad.
• 38:15
  It's like I would rather be planning all those places I want
• 38:18
  to go versus? Can I go to them safely?
• 38:23
  I mean we navigated New York. I felt perfectly safe there.
• 38:26
  Maybe that was my own ignorance but it can involve.
• 38:30
  Then again may see we were in a different time that was
• 38:32
  pre-pandemic. It was and I feel like we knew
• 38:35
  somebody there who could yeah does and it was pretty well lit.
• 38:40
  We didn't go anywhere. That was like super sketchy and
• 38:44
  like I told her the other day I'm like they were New York is a
• 38:48
  city that's alive at all hours of the day.
• 38:51
  And so even though we Walking at like 11:00 a.m. on point.
• 38:55
  There were plenty of lights and music 11 p.m. and 11:00.
• 38:59
  Yeah, well, it was, I don't remember all you said 11:00 a.m.
• 39:03
  and it's broad daylight and 11 a.m. so it'd have to be 11 p.m.
• 39:06
  pm to like. And there were like, plenty of
• 39:12
  police officers around which like doesn't always mean good
• 39:15
  thing. But especially because like to
• 39:17
  give sense. So, to give them the benefit of
• 39:19
  the doubt until proven Wrong, but I felt safe there, you know,
• 39:25
  like the scariest thing we encountered was a raccoon, the
• 39:27
  size of a small child. So like, you know, but things
• 39:32
  have changed. So and I think, one time we were
• 39:35
  in the subway and, like, two people almost got into fight,
• 39:37
  but that's fine too. Remember that?
• 39:40
  But that just might be my, like, vacation brain, blocking out
• 39:43
  anything that I don't want to remember that.
• 39:47
  I think so, because I remember that we were walking all day.
• 39:51
  We are tired and we got to see this.
• 39:52
  Subway and like these two guys, I don't remember if one of them
• 39:56
  was homeless or not, but like they were about to have a
• 40:00
  screaming match. So I was like, get me off the
• 40:03
  subway, I don't remember that. I do remember asking, like I
• 40:10
  there was like a homeless guy sitting and we were like
• 40:12
  confused about where we were going and we walked back and
• 40:15
  forth, a couple of times and he like offered to help us and at
• 40:18
  first I was like, sketched out because I was worried that he
• 40:20
  was gonna say something or looking for something and he was
• 40:24
  just very pleasant and like helped us find our way and it
• 40:26
  was not a big deal at all, but so I remember that I am like I
• 40:31
  shouldn't have judged him because he was very helpful and
• 40:33
  kind. But that was just my point is
• 40:36
  that it's scary scarier than it used to be.
• 40:40
  Like I wasn't and I was younger then, but I feel like I was
• 40:43
  still aware of my surroundings. Yeah, like determine whether I
• 40:47
  was in danger or not. That's just where we're at.
• 40:49
  Hopefully we'll figure it out because it's coming up soon.
• 40:51
  So, Yeah, I mean I'm sure it'll be fine.
• 40:55
  I'm sure it'll work itself out, but you'll didn't think of like,
• 40:58
  Uber or Lyft or anything like that.
• 41:00
  See, but like that's sketchy as well.
• 41:02
  That's just as worse, exactly. You hear so many stories of
• 41:07
  like, especially women, who will I get it?
• 41:09
  He's um, lubbers and lifts and like, they will take them places
• 41:13
  or try to take them places. That's not in the destination to
• 41:16
  try to kidnap them too many things, just too many things or
• 41:20
  like they'll lift up your Ian from The Uber or Lyft app
• 41:25
  because your third renting the thing and then like maybe stocky
• 41:28
  or just there's that's just not safe anymore.
• 41:31
  I'd rather take a trade or a bus if I can.
• 41:35
  Yeah, I'd rather rely on public transportation.
• 41:38
  That is like established rather than an individual.
• 41:40
  That's allowed to sign up through an app for free.
• 41:42
  As long as you don't have any major driving concerns on your
• 41:45
  record, like they don't background check those people,
• 41:48
  do they not even like criminal background?
• 41:50
  I don't think so. I think it's just like, if you
• 41:52
  don't have any like Like, major driving things on your record.
• 41:56
  I don't know if like, maybe maybe.
• 41:58
  It's like, you can't be a felon either, but I'm pretty sure.
• 42:01
  I'm pretty sure anybody can do the deliveries like the ubereats
• 42:05
  and the doordash and whatnot. I'm pretty sure you anybody can
• 42:07
  do that, but they're still coming to your home.
• 42:10
  Like you're giving them your, their, your address and allowing
• 42:14
  them to come on your property to play something on your property.
• 42:18
  And I don't think that there's any regulation to that.
• 42:21
  So, I don't know, I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure
• 42:25
  anybody can do it. 23 guys, it's not like a bus driver who had to
• 42:32
  go through an interview and had to go through a backtrack
• 42:35
  background. Check, and now works on a bus
• 42:37
  line. You know, like, I feel much
• 42:39
  safer with that person that a rando that signed up on over,
• 42:42
  what about like a taxi then or is that too expensive?
• 42:47
  That's expensive and they don't like to be stopping for anybody.
• 42:51
  Yeah, I think I would rather just rely on timed public
• 42:55
  transportation. Like, I know that this bus or
• 42:57
  train is going to be here at this time and I can get on it
• 42:59
  and I can pay. I think I paid like $30 when we
• 43:04
  were in New York for a Subway card and that lasted me like the
• 43:07
  whole time. So as far as I'm aware Marta,
• 43:11
  the subway in Atlanta is decent. So, we should be Be able to get
• 43:17
  where we need to go using that and then it, maybe the
• 43:19
  occasional bus. Hmm.
• 43:21
  So, depending on where we're going, which I'm nervous about
• 43:25
  because since I live in such a car heavy City, I've never taken
• 43:28
  a bus before so, either. So we're about to find out, did
• 43:34
  you guys consider consider renting a car?
• 43:36
  Maybe so explore because it is a car theft thing?
• 43:38
  You don't want to do that? No, it's just too expensive
• 43:41
  again. We try not to spend as much
• 43:45
  money as we can. We are therefore really one
• 43:48
  thing that's already paid for is just everything else.
• 43:51
  Yeah, not to mention. We already have to.
• 43:54
  Once we're there figure out food.
• 43:55
  Like I know the struggle with us.
• 43:57
  Try to find a hotel. I'm trying to find a hotel that
• 43:59
  lease has free breakfast. I can knock off one cent evolve
• 44:03
  like food situation. So even if it's just some
• 44:06
  bagels, Yeah. Just to put something in my
• 44:09
  system. Yeah I'm sure it'll be okay or
• 44:13
  not going to be there for too many days.
• 44:14
  Anyway. No, not like we originally
• 44:16
  planned. It's just we just can't afford
• 44:18
  it. We can't.
• 44:19
  Yeah. We can't afford a full vacation
• 44:21
  like that time together but I just can't afford the nights and
• 44:26
  not with the rates that are at currently.
• 44:29
  So I don't know if that's because of the concert or it's
• 44:31
  just I always like that. I mean I think We just stayed
• 44:39
  for a week, not even a week like three or three or four nights
• 44:44
  and ever bow and the villages to for Christmas which is like a
• 44:49
  giant housing community. So we State we got got house so
• 44:52
  it's a whole house to ourselves and then the three of us Customs
• 44:55
  like a thousand dollars for like.
• 44:57
  Alright. Wow.
• 44:58
  So I think it's just I think it's just freaking expensive
• 45:01
  right now that you can't go anywhere inflation.
• 45:07
  That's awesome. It's like a once-in-a-lifetime
• 45:10
  trip that to see family members. I haven't seen in years so it
• 45:14
  was worth it. But at the same time it's like
• 45:16
  we didn't we just slept there, you know.
• 45:19
  So, yeah. Well, you could do made like one
• 45:23
  meal in the kitchen and then, of course we had Mavis.
• 45:28
  So it's like, dog friendly. But I don't know why.
• 45:32
  I'm sure you guys will figure out like a best possible route.
• 45:37
  For your event. Yeah, it's just things that I
• 45:45
  didn't think. I would have to think about are
• 45:47
  now very much a reality. So it's also one of those things
• 45:52
  where it's like, dang, I wish we did this in advance, but at the
• 45:54
  same time it's fine. Yeah.
• 45:57
  Yeah. Over a month because it's at
• 45:59
  the, it's March 23rd. Tomorrow will be two months.
• 46:03
  Yeah. I got it.
• 46:06
  It's got it - it's gonna be okay.
• 46:10
  If we put it into the universe that it's going to be.
• 46:12
  Okay. It'll be okay.
• 46:13
  It'll be fun. Memorable experience.
• 46:17
  Yes, yes. And I've been to a concert since
• 46:20
  the up. Well, that's not true.
• 46:21
  We went to see a bigger concert since the world ended.
• 46:31
  I can't say much because I saw BTS in LA. 20:21.
• 46:36
  So, Man, I miss that God said so but I hoped it is doing good in
• 46:43
  his military service. He posted the picture the other
• 46:46
  day. I hope one of those also doing
• 46:49
  good in his military service was the only two people.
• 46:52
  I follow that. I know that are enlisted right
• 46:55
  now. Yeah, I saw this morning on take
• 46:58
  chocolate Jin, is the commander of his unit.
• 47:01
  Oh, really? I don't know what that means,
• 47:03
  but that's good. Like, you know, when they stand
• 47:10
  in the line and somebody calls out the orders and what that
• 47:12
  like he was doing that, okay? I don't know how I feel about
• 47:16
  that because I'm like is it this technically like not private
• 47:20
  time but how do you have this footage right?
• 47:26
  Yeah I do y'all believe these this is my God I'm gonna go out
• 47:31
  another red. I don't know if it was some
• 47:34
  public event that I it if we could sense.
• 47:37
  One thing even though Again not sus, but like all the stories of
• 47:43
  like, even if their public events of them, like selling it
• 47:47
  to the media, like the other day, armies had to basically
• 47:50
  cuts out a monk because namjoo went to a temple where he
• 47:53
  usually goes to sometimes to like just talk and like probably
• 47:57
  pray. I'm not really sure.
• 47:58
  I don't know if he's religious or not I can't remember and the
• 48:01
  monk went and sold and basically told the media what he said and
• 48:05
  I'm like is it this a private conversation?
• 48:08
  Sensation. Yeah.
• 48:11
  Unfortunately their lives will probably never be private
• 48:14
  because there's such sense to me.
• 48:19
  They keep talking about how they would like to be treated as
• 48:22
  human first before their work. So Joe is already hard enough
• 48:28
  for them to like, trust people and then j-hope and jimin or in
• 48:34
  Paris for fashion week because they just got picked up to be
• 48:37
  like Brandon. Today's, I don't know about
• 48:39
  fashion, guys, I'm sorry. I'm not a fashion girly, but
• 48:42
  it's still great for them. But then like, I had to see a
• 48:44
  video of gym and getting bombarded at the airport.
• 48:48
  I'm like I thought we said so many times stop doing this.
• 48:52
  He clearly did not look happy. Yeah I wouldn't have been
• 48:55
  surprised if he punched someone in the face I would have punched
• 48:59
  someone in the face. Do what Bad Bunny and take their
• 49:03
  phones and throw it across the whatever even though you got
• 49:07
  backlash, Or that. But I'm just like, bro, you
• 49:11
  think he's gonna be happy with you, shoving a phone in his
• 49:14
  face. I was on bad bunnies side on
• 49:18
  that because he kept Li literally kept telling the girls
• 49:20
  stop. Yeah, he's just trying to walk
• 49:22
  to his car. This is why I said I can never
• 49:24
  be a celebrity. Definitely takes like a certain
• 49:28
  type of personality to be okay with all of that.
• 49:32
  Yeah. Or just having a really hard
• 49:34
  strong love what you do. Yeah.
• 49:38
  Or also just like in the attention of some people just
• 49:40
  like that attention, it just depends.
• 49:42
  I feel like, but I feel like like influencers who aren't
• 49:46
  really who are like popular but like are not that popular.
• 49:49
  Are the wasn't okay with that. But like, celebrities
• 49:51
  celebrities if you noticed they're really the ones who if
• 49:55
  they can do their work. I feel like without the invasion
• 49:58
  of privacy they would choose that.
• 50:00
  Yeah. I mean like without the fame?
• 50:04
  Yeah. So I noticed like with a lot of
• 50:05
  stories, like a lot of celebrities are Introverted just
• 50:08
  because they just don't want that.
• 50:11
  Yeah. Or even before they got in the
• 50:13
  work, like they're more introverted than we think.
• 50:16
  Yeah. But it's kind of like a catch-22
• 50:18
  though because like, yeah, I understand they wanted to have
• 50:21
  like their privacy and everything but if you stay out
• 50:23
  of the picture for too long, like you become irrelevant
• 50:26
  especially in today's time. Yeah.
• 50:28
  So it's like what do you do you say out for like 1 month and
• 50:32
  everyone forget to you. Exactly.
• 50:34
  So like you kind of have to go against like that part of your
• 50:37
  Personality, just to continue what you were originally doing
• 50:41
  as work and everything. Yeah.
• 50:44
  But still, I think sometimes people forget like, no matter
• 50:48
  what, these are still technically their jobs.
• 50:51
  Yeah. Look, how would you feel if
• 50:52
  you're just working your everyday, like nine to five and
• 50:56
  you had to deal with this extra stuff on top of your job
• 50:59
  already? Mmm.
• 51:00
  I don't know. I can't relate on that level.
• 51:02
  But yeah, also an entertainment still on the heavy side.
• 51:11
  Is just, I mean, I guess real quick before we go and maybe
• 51:14
  talk about some lighter stuff before we actually, how do you
• 51:17
  guys feel about? Like all these streaming
• 51:18
  services basically, like with all the cancellations that's
• 51:21
  been happening since like the last of like last what quarter
• 51:25
  of last year. Yeah, it's insane.
• 51:28
  I heard Netflix got rid of so many and so many shows, but
• 51:32
  like, even once I were doing really, really well too.
• 51:34
  Yes, like, there's this one animation that I saw and that's
• 51:37
  another thing too. I feel a lot of them are coming
• 51:39
  for animation, which I do not appreciate Because the animation
• 51:41
  is not just for children. Yeah, I really need these
• 51:44
  Boomers to get them out of their head, especially if you are an
• 51:47
  adult that makes a nationwide. But there's this one show that I
• 51:52
  like called inside job, but they already got renewed.
• 51:56
  And then all of a sudden, it got canceled, Or like there's this
• 52:00
  one show on HBO Max, where I think they were pretty much
• 52:04
  finished with this new season, they're going to come out and
• 52:07
  they got canceled. And that's another thing too,
• 52:09
  which I guess is shows. That's why I said, we're not
• 52:12
  really in a recession yet because a lot of people I've
• 52:15
  been seeing say that I try to keep up when it comes to
• 52:17
  entertainment. You know, a recession is coming
• 52:20
  when entertainment hit the first.
• 52:22
  Like, that's when you can kind of tell things are your bad
• 52:26
  money-wise because you're getting rid of all these things
• 52:28
  to try to. Cut cost.
• 52:33
  Y'all. I'm so sorry.
• 52:35
  I lost where I was going with this train of thought, cancelled
• 52:38
  shows what we thought about it. I have something else to say
• 52:43
  though. I just forgot.
• 52:44
  Wow. Just tell me your opinions on
• 52:49
  what you think about the case which shows and hopefully it'll
• 52:51
  come back to me this. Um, it's just that basically.
• 52:57
  Oh, I was going to break up apparently because of the
• 52:59
  recession. I remembered now.
• 53:02
  Sorry, there might be an upcoming writer strike that's
• 53:05
  happened. That's why makes sense.
• 53:08
  Actually, I guess spin in the plan for a while because that's
• 53:11
  another thing. Besides all the other jobs
• 53:14
  they're just tired of not getting paid which also Always
• 53:17
  astounds me when it comes to entertainment have like actors
• 53:21
  and like, people like them are paid like, millions of dollars,
• 53:26
  but like, the people who actually, like, right this
• 53:28
  shows, or like, do the camera work for the shows or edited are
• 53:33
  not paid the same amount. It's me crazy.
• 53:37
  Maybe that's just crazy to me because someone who wanted to
• 53:39
  get in the entertainment industry and work behind the
• 53:42
  scenes that's like, especially right ache.
• 53:46
  You can't be an actor. If you Material to work on.
• 53:49
  Yeah. The writing is the show or the
• 53:51
  writers don't get royalties or anything like that either.
• 53:55
  It depends on the contracts but still they're just especially
• 53:59
  like with TV. If you have multiple writers,
• 54:04
  they don't get paid enough but the actors do yes they get
• 54:07
  royalty. Well, that's another thing too,
• 54:11
  with this whole streaming thing that a lot of people in the
• 54:13
  industry has been talking about because you don't get as many
• 54:16
  like royalties or I forget the other word for a syndication
• 54:20
  like cable, because as we've been seeing with everything
• 54:24
  being canceled, they have the ability to delete the projects
• 54:28
  off the streaming shows. So if no one's watching them,
• 54:31
  you can't get paid for them because it's basically
• 54:33
  non-existent anymore and they don't make like, DVDs anymore.
• 54:37
  Like they used to so they can't even get like, Tation funds from
• 54:40
  that. I remember when DVDs were such a
• 54:43
  big thing. Like, I go to my friend's house
• 54:46
  and they'd have like a whole book case, which is DVDs and
• 54:50
  Beast VHS, but that's, that's the ancient now.
• 54:55
  I know, because it's the same with music.
• 54:56
  Yeah. Like I don't think people
• 54:58
  realize artist for music, gets it's different from every
• 55:03
  platform, but I think even now with Spotify, I probably went up
• 55:08
  since I've last look This, but they get zero point zero, zero,
• 55:13
  zero, zero, zero 10 for everyone stream, so you would need quite
• 55:20
  a bit of people to even make a dollar.
• 55:22
  Yes, especially if you're like an independent artist with like
• 55:26
  no company or label behind you. It only imagine I don't know
• 55:31
  again, like I keep saying the world is just burning because
• 55:34
  the world is going. Yes, going downhill, but I was
• 55:38
  just wondering because like, I'm afraid, not really afraid
• 55:41
  because I feel like it'll bounce back once I guess if the economy
• 55:46
  gets better. But like, I don't want my source
• 55:48
  of entertainment to just come from Tick Tock.
• 55:50
  I'm sorry. Like I like to talk now, I use
• 55:53
  it now but, like, even I could tell sometimes when I use a
• 55:56
  tick, tock, if I am scrolling, and I can't finish one video.
• 56:00
  That's where my Okay. I need to get off this app.
• 56:01
  Yeah. So I like movies.
• 56:07
  I like storytelling. I like TV shows, keep them.
• 56:11
  I wonder also. If like, we're going to get
• 56:12
  another rise of reality TV because apparently that's where
• 56:15
  reality TV was born from was the first writer struck bike and the
• 56:19
  early 2000s. So if no one knew that, yeah,
• 56:23
  that's why we technically have reality shows today because
• 56:26
  there are a lot cheaper to make. You didn't really need as many
• 56:29
  writers to like write. Like production wise.
• 56:33
  So Just, I don't know, I just don't know.
• 56:38
  I'm a little scared. For the world of entertainment.
• 56:44
  Again, especially from a person who has not really watched a lot
• 56:47
  of American entertainment for a while, but even like with my
• 56:51
  kdramas, I noticing, now they're doing the thing words more than
• 56:54
  one season. I was like, this is why I
• 56:56
  switched, because we're what a dud.
• 56:59
  I don't need two to three seasons.
• 57:03
  Yeah, I don't even know if this is helping you guys, as far as
• 57:05
  money wise either or what, I don't know how their
• 57:09
  entertainment as far as Like business-wise goes over there.
• 57:14
  So I'm sure I would assume that the recession is like
• 57:21
  country-based. Not like or I don't know how far
• 57:24
  it expands like is it just kept happening to us that our
• 57:28
  economy? I don't think so.
• 57:30
  I mean I would prefer a while South Korea's economy.
• 57:33
  Especially kind of like us. We're like a lot of things are
• 57:35
  rising and prices people like us.
• 57:38
  Our age can't really afford to like Do anything basically.
• 57:42
  So and I don't know anywhere else around the world.
• 57:45
  I mean I have been seeing a couple things with like
• 57:47
  protested like year up and stuff like that.
• 57:50
  So I don't think it's going good for anybody in the world.
• 57:52
  I think we're all kind of just and it together.
• 57:57
  Yeah, all suffering together. Well, I don't know, I really
• 58:02
  hope they come up with some solution where the writers feel
• 58:06
  like their efforts are like being paid off enough.
• 58:10
  And that we don't go through another writer strike because
• 58:12
  that would be awful. Well, I think it's happening.
• 58:15
  It's just when there's one girl, I follow on Tick.
• 58:18
  Tock, who's pretty up today. She said, sometime in May, maybe
• 58:22
  in my happen, but it's interesting something else
• 58:26
  doesn't take its place. But knowing knowing our place
• 58:31
  something is always going on. I feel like I've been to do it,
• 58:37
  the one doing most of the ranting this episode, usually a
• 58:39
  collective. I think, unfortunately like I
• 58:47
  find that when I ran, I just feel gross after all.
• 58:51
  So I like to do it just to get it.
• 58:53
  Yeah, I don't know. It's like I can't do anything
• 58:57
  about it. So it's like if I get to in my
• 59:00
  feelings about it, I'll just think about it for too long and
• 59:03
  then like me. But actually, I'm just want to
• 59:07
  die. Yeah, no, I mean, it's everybody
• 59:11
  coax differently, but I find that I try to look for the
• 59:15
  positive things, but I'm trying to be positive and if I rant
• 59:19
  about things that I can't change, I just get more sad.
• 59:23
  I don't know. I was just agreeing with you the
• 59:24
  whole time though. No, thank you.
• 59:30
  I didn't really realize that that was happening because I
• 59:32
  don't watch very many shows on Netflix are.
• 59:35
  I haven't been recently. Yeah, I mean, it's not just
• 59:38
  Netflix, I'm sure it's a lot of things because that's why a lot
• 59:41
  of the deletion was happening. And like, HBO backs because of
• 59:45
  the merger that they had with Discovery.
• 59:49
  That's another, that's another thing companies.
• 59:51
  Merging Max subscription. So This a lot but that's just
• 59:57
  some things. Anything positive we want to
• 1:00:00
  talk about entertainment. What have you guys been
• 1:00:01
  watching? That's been good.
• 1:00:03
  The glory and I could not wait for you to come out.
• 1:00:08
  I believe it's in February. Oh yeah, so excited for that.
• 1:00:11
  Show. Be interesting.
• 1:00:13
  I also watched The Glory we were telling Macy because she said
• 1:00:16
  she's interested in watching it that first episode is brutal
• 1:00:22
  hard. Oh my gosh because of the bully.
• 1:00:23
  Yes. And like I remember even other
• 1:00:25
  cager I used to watch. I was like, this has to be
• 1:00:29
  dramatized, this can't be that bad.
• 1:00:31
  This can't be that bad, but apparently it's that bad.
• 1:00:35
  I think that was like one of them.
• 1:00:37
  The drama's in a very, very long time that I like held my breath.
• 1:00:41
  While watching though, seeing yeah, I follow a guy on
• 1:00:44
  Instagram and remember someone acts of and he's like they're
• 1:00:48
  telling it lightly, it's worse. I'd like.
• 1:00:50
  What do you mean? It's worse.
• 1:00:52
  So forth are so, you know, it makes sense.
• 1:00:56
  It's that like whenever like a celebrity or something is like
• 1:00:59
  accused of a bullying scandal. It's such a big deal.
• 1:01:02
  I stopped talking. That's why I'm like yeah, well I
• 1:01:05
  can't say anything anymore because I mean we have blue egg
• 1:01:08
  here but I feel like also because of our laws they get
• 1:01:11
  their able to get like punished for it or they don't really have
• 1:01:17
  harsh punishments, especially for minors.
• 1:01:19
  I know there's a show on Netflix.
• 1:01:20
  I need to go back and watch that talks about it more and maybe we
• 1:01:24
  could do a review on that because even Something and this
• 1:01:27
  isn't spoiling. Anything may see, but in the
• 1:01:29
  glory I don't know if you notice may see that one mother or not,
• 1:01:33
  may see the feasts. I'm so sorry.
• 1:01:37
  Um, the one mother that's getting abused by her husband
• 1:01:40
  and then the girl comes in the daughter that tries to stop and
• 1:01:43
  she's holding a knife and then like they're going back and
• 1:01:45
  forth like do it and our moms like no don't do it.
• 1:01:48
  But the daughter said something, I don't know if he picked up
• 1:01:50
  she's like it's fine if I hurt him or even kill him because I'm
• 1:01:54
  a minor. So I will be okay.
• 1:01:56
  Okay. So that just kind of shows.
• 1:02:00
  Yeah, the difference. Yeah and then the guy I follow
• 1:02:02
  on Instagram. Gave an example of how he knew
• 1:02:04
  like two girls in his school. I don't know like if his
• 1:02:07
  Elementary or like Middle School, that got expelled
• 1:02:10
  because they put lead from a pencil and some girls I I'm like
• 1:02:14
  y'all just got expelled for that blind.
• 1:02:19
  The girl, my God I keep up quite I think I keep up quite good
• 1:02:26
  with it in the True Crime sub-genre.
• 1:02:31
  And recently there was a librarian that was killed by for
• 1:02:39
  teenagers. They like Grim with a nod and
• 1:02:44
  they are all being charged as adults for attempted murder
• 1:02:49
  murder. Her and Battery.
• 1:02:50
  Yeah, because I knew what they were doing clearly.
• 1:02:52
  Yeah. Like they was some kind of like,
• 1:02:56
  one of them was like, the ex-girlfriend of the Librarians
• 1:03:00
  son. And so, she was like, egging her
• 1:03:03
  new boyfriend to go beat him up and so they went to his house
• 1:03:06
  and beat him up and she had like, run out to the store for a
• 1:03:09
  minute and then came back and like caught them in the act.
• 1:03:11
  And I was like trying to take a picture of their license plate
• 1:03:14
  and they just like ran over my God.
• 1:03:17
  So yeah. Yeah.
• 1:03:19
  So but they're all do they not realize it was like 14 years,
• 1:03:24
  there's cameras everywhere there's cameras everywhere even
• 1:03:27
  if you run her over someone's gonna catch you.
• 1:03:30
  Some guy saw it and followed them until the police made
• 1:03:33
  contact. So they were caught right away
• 1:03:35
  like oh my gosh are just too just an example of like a
• 1:03:41
  they're all under 18 and they are being charged as adults even
• 1:03:45
  like I think there was like a 14 or 15 year old one but that's
• 1:03:48
  what I mean like Here like something that traumatic they
• 1:03:50
  could charge like that to where it doesn't seem like the case
• 1:03:54
  even if she hadn't passed away. But it's they're being charged
• 1:03:57
  with felony murder because she did pass away.
• 1:04:01
  That's crazy. That is crazy.
• 1:04:04
  The poor boy though. Like yeah, he like didn't even
• 1:04:08
  do anything. Like he just broke up with
• 1:04:10
  somebody. He didn't know they were coming
• 1:04:12
  to like challenge him or whatever.
• 1:04:13
  This is why you need to be careful.
• 1:04:15
  Like need to know what you're dating.
• 1:04:18
  A Jew. You're dating what your day.
• 1:04:19
  Eating. Yeah and I don't I I think there
• 1:04:21
  were some talk about like some text exchange but I don't care
• 1:04:24
  what anybody says to you via text.
• 1:04:27
  You don't go to their house, beat them up and kill their mom
• 1:04:31
  like serious. Yeah.
• 1:04:33
  Like I don't know where I'm at today.
• 1:04:36
  Yeah, especially the youth. Mmm, so, and shame on that girl
• 1:04:42
  for, like, riling him up like it, she was the instigator she
• 1:04:47
  didn't participate in Like the actual assault except for being
• 1:04:51
  in the van when it happened. But she wouldn't have happened
• 1:04:55
  if he should get as much of a punishment, she should get it
• 1:04:59
  helped me out my opinion. You cannot put people up to shit
• 1:05:03
  like that because P humans are emotional.
• 1:05:05
  You know, like you can get you can manipulate people into doing
• 1:05:08
  things, just with your words, they're just as harmful as
• 1:05:13
  actions true. Especially if the boyfriend
• 1:05:16
  genuinely. Thought that he was like I don't
• 1:05:19
  know what the text was about it or anything.
• 1:05:21
  Yeah, I don't know if she told him that she was like bothering
• 1:05:24
  her or something. But well, I'm kind of that's
• 1:05:28
  gonna make me upset. I was like.
• 1:05:29
  Wow, yeah. And she was a great member of
• 1:05:36
  her community like wonderful lady.
• 1:05:39
  Truly good person and like Winston is the good ones.
• 1:05:42
  It's always the good ones. A librarian.
• 1:05:46
  Like they're probably the most peaceful people out there for
• 1:05:50
  hate. I don't know about peaceful, but
• 1:05:53
  just the most quiet quiet, but but, I mean like, they're not in
• 1:05:56
  anyone's way is what I mean. Yeah, you have to be outgoing to
• 1:06:01
  a certain extent because I wanted to be a librarian for a
• 1:06:03
  while but they're like the directors of the library.
• 1:06:08
  So you have to be outgoing to a certain extent in order to like
• 1:06:11
  communicate with your entire group of people and Planning and
• 1:06:16
  stuff like that. Yeah, so they're important to
• 1:06:21
  our community. They provide knowledge and
• 1:06:23
  education so one them correctly. Yeah.
• 1:06:27
  They don't get paid nearly enough.
• 1:06:29
  That's also just the theme of this whole thing.
• 1:06:30
  No one gets paid enough to help that family find closure.
• 1:06:35
  Yeah, I hope that they get. What is appropriate?
• 1:06:40
  Yeah, yeah, I mean anything besides that tangent, anything
• 1:06:44
  else Watching besides the bori where I've been watching.
• 1:06:49
  Bluelock is pretty good. It's an anime about soccer.
• 1:06:53
  Okay, interesting. I like my Sports Anime.
• 1:06:58
  Yeah, yes I have been. I recently started collecting
• 1:07:02
  the haikyuu volumes of manga so that I can read it and have it
• 1:07:06
  in person since it's the one of my favorites.
• 1:07:08
  I want to own physical copies of the hair.
• 1:07:13
  So I feel like I've been reading more than watching things.
• 1:07:16
  Like I have been reading a lot of like webtoons and stuff like
• 1:07:21
  that. I'm gonna catch up on my
• 1:07:23
  webtoons. Have you ever read that one?
• 1:07:25
  I recommended you may see is think it's called a lek Elysee
• 1:07:29
  to something ELC. Edu will not the cat think.
• 1:07:33
  So, yeah, I started it. You would like that one.
• 1:07:36
  May see I just read the remarried empress It's on
• 1:07:43
  webtoon. It's I think it's got two
• 1:07:46
  seasons out and they're taking a Hiatus.
• 1:07:49
  I usually read a lot of one's kind of, like, my shows I watch
• 1:07:52
  or if it's like, Supernatural some romance but it just depends
• 1:07:56
  on what type mostly Supernatural.
• 1:08:00
  I feel like overly romantic. It's more about like I think
• 1:08:05
  it's it's more of like a Revenge story but like not like super,
• 1:08:11
  like down and dirty or anything, it's just Yes.
• 1:08:15
  I don't know, I don't want to, I don't want to go into the whole
• 1:08:18
  plot but I think it's interesting.
• 1:08:20
  I think it's more psychological than like overly fluffy
• 1:08:25
  romantic. It's not really like that.
• 1:08:27
  At least it hasn't gotten that way in those two seasons that
• 1:08:29
  I've watched him as this one called the remarried Empress.
• 1:08:33
  I saw a physical copy of it and Books-A-Million the other day
• 1:08:36
  like they printed physical copy because I have I like lore of
• 1:08:40
  Olympus which is a super popular one.
• 1:08:42
  I'm way behind on that one but I have Fred's, I am up to date on
• 1:08:47
  that one and I have I think there's only two volumes volume
• 1:08:52
  1 and volume 2 out in person, but I do own both of them.
• 1:08:56
  I just regret because of the first one I bought I bought the
• 1:08:58
  paper back in the second one. I bought the hard drive and I'm
• 1:09:00
  regretting not buying the hard pack in post because I'm staring
• 1:09:03
  at it right now. I'm like it's gonna bother me.
• 1:09:07
  Speaking of webtoons is really interesting because like
• 1:09:10
  webtoons usually like Phil have adaptations from like a webtoon.
• 1:09:15
  Into a show but they add up tainted attorney Wu from the
• 1:09:19
  show to a webtoon, I started reading it yet but I was like
• 1:09:24
  this is backwards. Wait, no I just whole time.
• 1:09:31
  I thought it was to base off the show.
• 1:09:34
  Wow it was that good of a show. Interesting.
• 1:09:40
  Great I think like Gangnam ID it was a wet tissues for Julie web
• 1:09:45
  team business. Proposal business proposal
• 1:09:49
  cheese in the Trap the movie we did a while ago, love and
• 1:09:54
  leashes was originally a webtoon true beauty.
• 1:09:57
  So that's why I mean they usually take webtoons and make
• 1:10:00
  them shows, is the first time I've seen a show be turned into
• 1:10:02
  a webtoon. That's interesting.
• 1:10:04
  Yeah, I'm a read it though, but I haven't started yet.
• 1:10:07
  Yeah, I subscribe to it. So Get the updates but I haven't
• 1:10:10
  started yet. I was just like, this is
• 1:10:12
  interesting. I wonder if they got a surpassed
• 1:10:14
  the show also before the second season comes out as something
• 1:10:17
  curious about. When is the second season
• 1:10:20
  expected to come out? We don't know.
• 1:10:23
  Okay, we don't know. I do this, I don't know.
• 1:10:26
  Yeah, another show that I recently got into.
• 1:10:32
  I don't know if you guys, like cooking shows, i-it's like my
• 1:10:35
  guilty, pleasure, mostly mostly baking sheet to They like, okay,
• 1:10:40
  me and abuse me, because I've like, I'm a person that's really
• 1:10:45
  on anything, especially competition shows, because like,
• 1:10:48
  usually, the people I like, and I want them to win, they never
• 1:10:51
  win. Yeah, rig.
• 1:10:52
  So, I'm just like this. I just well rustic my fantasies.
• 1:10:56
  I've been watching recently, is called, nailed it.
• 1:10:59
  Okay, it's like people, I've heard of that.
• 1:11:01
  Yeah, cooking know. They're like really bad and you
• 1:11:04
  just like, watch them. Like, go down.
• 1:11:07
  So and I could have participated.
• 1:11:09
  Are you not going to cooking the fetus?
• 1:11:10
  I have instructions. I can do something, but asking
• 1:11:13
  to creatively make something. No, okay, they give them
• 1:11:17
  recipes. Oh they give them recipes.
• 1:11:19
  Okay, they give them recipes. But it's like they give them
• 1:11:23
  like 45 minutes to create like these intricate like desert
• 1:11:26
  things that are like it's like fondant and modeling chocolate.
• 1:11:29
  Like I have to like mold things so it's just so funny.
• 1:11:33
  Like, I think it's really funny and I like the the host and
• 1:11:37
  stuff they have celebrity. A different celebrity judge each
• 1:11:40
  week and they like they have one thing where it's like they have
• 1:11:45
  like the panic button if you need like help.
• 1:11:48
  It's like three minutes of help from like the there's like a
• 1:11:51
  French pastry chef that's on there as okay.
• 1:11:54
  Judges and then knit like Nicole and the celebrity good.
• 1:11:58
  We'll just scream like because it's like the panic button so
• 1:12:01
  they scream the whole time and I'm like this is this is funny
• 1:12:04
  and it's serious. Yeah like 10,000 That's good
• 1:12:09
  money. There's two rounds they go
• 1:12:11
  through the first round and then the second round determines the
• 1:12:15
  winner and then it's over. Like each episode is new people
• 1:12:18
  and then you move on to new people most episodes.
• 1:12:20
  So it's like you don't have you can watch one episode and then
• 1:12:22
  stop like you'd it's not a continuation.
• 1:12:24
  Interesting. I just I think it's pretty
• 1:12:27
  funny. They have like a Halloween and
• 1:12:29
  Christmas edition that would be so small though if they made it
• 1:12:32
  like an actual season where like the person just like gets better
• 1:12:36
  and better, but continues, yeah, that would be Be interesting.
• 1:12:39
  That'd be nice to so they can improve their cooking.
• 1:12:42
  I could see that some people cook, okay.
• 1:12:45
  And then it's just the decoration looks like, did you
• 1:12:48
  just put those eggs in the microwave, you're going to put
• 1:12:50
  eggs in your cake? It's just like, I just need this
• 1:12:55
  to feel like that's funny or like, oh, just a little bit of
• 1:13:03
  vanilla extract pours, whole bottle.
• 1:13:05
  Like it's just interesting. And then they have Taste it and
• 1:13:09
  Nicole's face on, like a lot of these, she's like, oh, it's B it
• 1:13:13
  out immediately. Yeah, she's quite funny.
• 1:13:16
  I like her. And the dynamic between the
• 1:13:19
  French guy because he like doesn't understand half the
• 1:13:22
  stuff. She's saying he just like smiles
• 1:13:24
  and knobs and then they have like this one camera guy that
• 1:13:28
  never speaks Called Quest. And he's always dressed in
• 1:13:30
  something, stupid, and random and brings the trophy out and
• 1:13:33
  she was like, talk to bequest and he ignores her.
• 1:13:37
  So it's a fun dynamic. Amick.
• 1:13:38
  I think it's silly fun show for like people just messing around
• 1:13:42
  and trying to have fun and it's light-hearted compared to a lot
• 1:13:46
  of like cooking and forget, they get paid to be on the show's to
• 1:13:50
  write the intestines. Oh, I don't.
• 1:13:53
  I mean, like, I know that money but I don't know if they get
• 1:13:57
  paid for it. I don't think a lot of people on
• 1:14:01
  competition shows, get paid unless they win, like, they'll
• 1:14:04
  get certain accommodations for them like whether that's like
• 1:14:07
  flight there. Like hotel.
• 1:14:10
  But it's rare that especially stories that I hear on reality
• 1:14:13
  shows that I used to watch whether there's this reality
• 1:14:16
  shows or competition shows I don't think they get paid or if
• 1:14:19
  they do it's not much it's like a stipend that they do because
• 1:14:23
  it's very short period of time as well from what I understand
• 1:14:26
  because like when I watch the other baking shows or
• 1:14:28
  competition shows, it's like they're given like seven hours
• 1:14:31
  to complete this like Masterpiece where the first
• 1:14:34
  round is like, 45 minutes in the second round is an hour and 45
• 1:14:37
  minutes. So like Like that's three hours
• 1:14:41
  tops. Yeah, that you're actually like
• 1:14:43
  making these things that's not a crazy amount of time.
• 1:14:45
  I'm sure they do it in one day so they probably pay for them to
• 1:14:49
  fly their pay for them to stay and flip pay for them to
• 1:14:52
  honestly. I would I would be content with
• 1:14:53
  that but that's a vacation, right?
• 1:14:58
  I don't know. I think it's just, it's just fun
• 1:15:01
  and light-hearted which like a lot of, I like the, I prefer the
• 1:15:06
  light-hearted competition shows. No like Don't I don't ever watch
• 1:15:09
  any of like, Gordon Ramsay stuff because I don't, I feel like
• 1:15:12
  he's mean, I see clips of like when he does it with the kids,
• 1:15:17
  so he's right. Yeah yeah.
• 1:15:19
  Yeah, sweet. Yeah.
• 1:15:20
  But I don't know, it's just, I don't want to watch a kid cry
• 1:15:23
  either because they feel like they've made a mistake.
• 1:15:26
  So it's like, I prefer the ones that are just silly or whatever
• 1:15:30
  Every Time I Think of Gordon Ramsay because I don't watch his
• 1:15:33
  shows. But I just think of that one
• 1:15:35
  clip that turned into a me where he has the bread between that
• 1:15:38
  one girl's face. Face about the idiot sandwich,
• 1:15:46
  and he's kind of work. He seems like a nice guy.
• 1:15:51
  I actually heard, he's actually pretty nice in person and I
• 1:15:54
  remember, I used to sometimes when I go over my brother's like
• 1:15:58
  house. When I visit them, they like
• 1:16:00
  that one show that he does is it called Hell's Kitchen when he
• 1:16:04
  goes to restaurants and tries to sell and people that mmm.
• 1:16:07
  Yeah. That Are failing in the
• 1:16:09
  restaurant business. So anyway that's I've been
• 1:16:14
  watching that I also like is it cake which is like, they like
• 1:16:19
  realistic cake makers make cakes and then there's like five
• 1:16:22
  different options and the judges have to decide which one is
• 1:16:24
  actually cake. So that's kind of that was a
• 1:16:28
  meme. That was a thing online for
• 1:16:30
  like, at the beginning of the pandemic and I was getting
• 1:16:32
  scared because things, I didn't think we're cake.
• 1:16:34
  We're turning into cake. Yeah, that's like art in a whole
• 1:16:37
  different light. Nailed it.
• 1:16:39
  But my love. Art like that.
• 1:16:41
  It's cool. It's creepy and it's edible.
• 1:16:43
  Interesting. I'm wondering.
• 1:16:44
  Yeah. Illusion art is cool for sure.
• 1:16:49
  So I think it's talk about what I'm doing real quick.
• 1:16:54
  Not much actually. I'm just trying to catch up and
• 1:16:56
  stuff, like just catching up on my hero Academia, which is God
• 1:16:59
  really good. It's got good.
• 1:17:02
  I have gotten so far behind in that at this point, that I need
• 1:17:05
  to start over again and watch if you, if you can make the ketchup
• 1:17:08
  because it's starting to get interesting.
• 1:17:10
  I guess, what are you on me? Or may see you soon?
• 1:17:15
  I'm caught up. They're releasing new episodes.
• 1:17:18
  Yeah. Hulu right now, that's recent,
• 1:17:21
  so I'm caught up on the latest one that came out like This week
• 1:17:24
  I watched like two episodes and then I never went back to it.
• 1:17:27
  So I don't know how, but I understand.
• 1:17:32
  Because because sometimes especially with shown in genres,
• 1:17:35
  if you see one, you seen them all, if you see Naruto, you've
• 1:17:38
  seen them all, no offense guys. But there are certain ones that
• 1:17:42
  can tell the story differently that you have to debate, if it
• 1:17:46
  will capture your attention. So there's that actually still
• 1:17:49
  never finished by versus family. I'm not behind on that.
• 1:17:53
  Try to finish mob psycho because that ended I need to finish
• 1:17:57
  chainsaw, man. I started so before I watch The
• 1:18:03
  Glory, I watched this one kdrama that's on Netflix called
• 1:18:06
  somebody I don't know if it's one of those things where I'm
• 1:18:11
  trying to excuse a Bad plot and it's actually bad or I'm sitting
• 1:18:15
  here. I'm like, maybe I just not smart
• 1:18:17
  enough to under what is it about a stick value?
• 1:18:21
  Girl, I can't even, I don't even know if I could explain it
• 1:18:24
  because the plot that Netflix gives I feel a kind of derails
• 1:18:28
  after the first episode. It's really about this one girl
• 1:18:32
  and she has it's not autism. I think she has Asperger's but
• 1:18:38
  basically she Creates this Lake. AI intelligent software to
• 1:18:46
  communicate. Because she doesn't really have
• 1:18:48
  that many friends and later on in life because when she was,
• 1:18:51
  like, showcasing it to some type of like science, fair talent,
• 1:18:54
  show a woman, discovered it and they turned it into a dating
• 1:18:57
  app. But then they realized, the
• 1:19:00
  dating app is being used, by this one guy who was basically
• 1:19:03
  causing like it's going around killing people, but like I said,
• 1:19:07
  I feel like the plot kind of De rails after the first episode.
• 1:19:12
  Because we find out who the Killer is pretty quickly.
• 1:19:16
  I feel like I started that one but I never finished it because
• 1:19:20
  it sounds familiar, but it was, it was really, but no, it kind
• 1:19:23
  of derailed, I was confused. There was a lot of I feel like
• 1:19:30
  unnecessary sex scenes, which another thing I have to get used
• 1:19:33
  to, because I'm not used to watching kdramas.
• 1:19:35
  Like that mature was sexy and it's not like they don't happen,
• 1:19:39
  but it was like it was this really nice.
• 1:19:42
  Siri right 2000. And then this world girl, who
• 1:19:48
  was a cop and she's in a wheelchair.
• 1:19:50
  She kind of made me mad because like she bade, like, the dumbest
• 1:19:53
  decisions in the world. It'll like, girl, you're a
• 1:19:59
  detective. Why are you making these
• 1:20:01
  decisions? Yeah, all right.
• 1:20:04
  Well, one thing that I thought was pretty cool about the show
• 1:20:06
  is, I don't know if this is something in real life because
• 1:20:08
  like I said, she's in a wheelchair, but she has this
• 1:20:10
  kind of like car and Cuz she's in like an electric wheelchair.
• 1:20:14
  There's a way where she can like get in the car from the back
• 1:20:17
  seat, where, like the back kind of Rises up and she can drive
• 1:20:20
  the car with her wheelchair. It's pretty cool.
• 1:20:22
  Like, is this real? This needs to be invested into
• 1:20:25
  more for like disabled people. This is really cool.
• 1:20:30
  Well, the other than that somebody confuse me.
• 1:20:33
  I still don't know if I really liked it or not and then I watch
• 1:20:36
  the glory and after the glory, I needed to wash something
• 1:20:38
  light-hearted. So I started watching the show
• 1:20:41
  called behind Star, which is basically about like this
• 1:20:44
  entertainment company called method entertainment and they're
• 1:20:47
  all agents. So it's basically, like story of
• 1:20:49
  like how agents deal with like the celebrities they're
• 1:20:53
  managing. And I think it's like not, it's
• 1:20:55
  not really a mockumentary but I think some of the actors are
• 1:20:59
  real actors, but I still don't know a lot of like, the actor's
• 1:21:03
  name, so I can't tell but like, they will mention shows that I
• 1:21:06
  know are real so or they'll name dropping, especially, like, on
• 1:21:10
  Netflix or like Disney plus, so I'm like, okay.
• 1:21:12
  So you must be the actual actor in this like now was in that
• 1:21:15
  production but that's kind of cute.
• 1:21:18
  So I'm about nothing else. Really?
• 1:21:21
  I feel like I've been busy but not busy.
• 1:21:26
  I like become a twice man. Apparently now so I like their
• 1:21:30
  new song Moonlight Sunrise which is also interesting because I
• 1:21:35
  don't know if nafiz is heard but I've mentioned this girl group
• 1:21:38
  that's here in America Thousand Times called citizen Queen and
• 1:21:41
  two of the girls from that group, I think, I don't know all
• 1:21:45
  their names either, but I think the girl's name is Nina and is
• 1:21:49
  it Katie? But they wrote the song,
• 1:21:52
  basically for twice because it's an English song.
• 1:21:56
  I was very proud of that and I hope more people get into
• 1:21:58
  citizen Queen because they're very talented girl group.
• 1:22:01
  So, but I thought that was cool that they were able to write
• 1:22:03
  that song for a K-pop group twice and it's got a groan.
• 1:22:09
  I think you'd like it may see. I know how you feel about twice
• 1:22:11
  like nothing like that song. They're starting to get into
• 1:22:14
  their mature, grown women music. So yeah, I will check out the
• 1:22:20
  album when it comes because I think it's supposed to drop in
• 1:22:23
  March. Yeah, rumors are circulating gym
• 1:22:28
  in my drop. His solo album in February, so
• 1:22:30
  we'll see if you guys listen to Vibe with him and I did actually
• 1:22:33
  really liked it. Yeah, it did as well.
• 1:22:39
  It took me a couple listens but like the song says and I think
• 1:22:42
  everyone's saying it's a five. So I also haven't watched the
• 1:22:48
  clip but I know there's like a clip of Yugi's little drinking
• 1:22:51
  show. We're taking is a guest and he's
• 1:22:54
  just like fanboying the whole time, so the clips are adorable.
• 1:23:00
  But yeah, it's also not an I was Thinking podcast, if I don't
• 1:23:03
  bring up BTS, right? And then they ever running jokes
• 1:23:08
  of. Where is Jungkook?
• 1:23:10
  His fans are going crazy. He's just like just let him live
• 1:23:16
  his best life guys I'm sure he's fine.
• 1:23:20
  Slimming is best life off the internet I respect but when it
• 1:23:25
  does come back to the internet can someone please tell him to
• 1:23:27
  change his algorithm on Instagram?
• 1:23:29
  Please get rid of that aesthetic that he has please.
• 1:23:31
  And thank you supposed normally. It's okay, all you could post
• 1:23:38
  the picture of your finger and trust me fans will be happy fans
• 1:23:42
  will be happy it's like junk. Look Proof of Life.
• 1:23:45
  Please proof of life. You know how we say that to my
• 1:23:48
  mom? I called her last night because
• 1:23:50
  I she had been gone all day and I had heard from her.
• 1:23:52
  I was like, yeah. Hey, do you need something like
• 1:23:53
  that? I just makes me sometimes with
• 1:23:58
  my dad, just making sure. You know, you could, you're
• 1:24:02
  still alive, take your text like get hour ago, you never
• 1:24:05
  responded. Checking out sometimes I feel
• 1:24:10
  like I'm not the child in this relationship.
• 1:24:13
  You're the parent always at home on time.
• 1:24:15
  Like where the heck are you? Yeah I'm having fun with your
• 1:24:18
  friends. You need to be back before.
• 1:24:20
  It's dark young lady. The role reversal bound to
• 1:24:25
  happen. Wait no, yeah, I think that's
• 1:24:30
  pretty much it guys. Seems like that's our show.
• 1:24:33
  We've done some good ramblings. I've done some good waiting.
• 1:24:36
  Good discussions to so you know. Yeah I always do I always liked
• 1:24:41
  it. Like what the heck are we going
• 1:24:42
  to talk about that? It's kind of like comes out.
• 1:24:44
  Yeah like yeah. So hopefully with my new
• 1:24:48
  schedule change will be able to do more of all.
• 1:24:52
  Three of us. So sounds fun, but yeah, yeah, I
• 1:24:58
  have been told that starting February 20th, our schedules
• 1:25:02
  will be set. So I will have, I will always
• 1:25:04
  have Wednesdays and Sundays off, which is Sundays is the
• 1:25:06
  important one for you guys. Yeah, because I'll have every
• 1:25:10
  other weekend. So the weekends that I don't
• 1:25:12
  work. We can do the Sundays that
• 1:25:14
  should work. Yeah.
• 1:25:16
  Yeah, a plan to plan, if you don't know.
• 1:25:21
  But yes, Look out for more of our Rambles of TV show, reviews,
• 1:25:29
  whatever the next one's going to be.
• 1:25:30
  I'm not sure me and Macey already discussed the group that
• 1:25:34
  we're going to do next but do the glory.
• 1:25:36
  I want to watch it. You guys want to do the glory?
• 1:25:42
  It should be. Should be end our episode before
• 1:25:44
  we start Clinic. Yes, we can.
• 1:25:48
  Just real quick. Just want to say thank you guys
• 1:25:50
  for continuously listening. To what our thoughts.
• 1:25:54
  Rambles. All that fun stuff.
• 1:25:56
  They're still here. We're still going strong because
• 1:26:00
  of our five listeners. No.
• 1:26:02
  Seriously, though, I know I always felt like, I'm joking.
• 1:26:04
  But like, it just always shocks me that someone out there is
• 1:26:08
  interested so appreciative. That's why we do this.
• 1:26:12
  That's why I did this. So, My the only one that's going
• 1:26:18
  to give my thanks and I know y'all agree with me.
• 1:26:22
  Yes if nobody can see us but we're not hearing.
• 1:26:29
  Anything else. Y'all want to say before we go?
• 1:26:31
  I guess I will also do the closing.
• 1:26:36
  It's always a battle between us like who's going to, who's going
• 1:26:39
  to do the closing? Because like, none of us seem
• 1:26:41
  like we want to, I always mess it up.
• 1:26:44
  I never say what I think. I'm gonna say it's I'd okay.
• 1:26:48
  But that's he's like that's it for us.
• 1:26:50
  So kind of a weird one but work because we're all over the place
• 1:26:53
  but like that's in case you didn't hurt this is I was
• 1:26:57
  thinking hanges so it's all we do.
• 1:26:59
  Apparently, what is we need to come up with a catchphrase.
• 1:27:03
  Like, our shows I was thinking, but it's like I was thinking a
• 1:27:07
  tagline We'll figure it out. Anyway, for listening to us,
• 1:27:15
  this has been an episode of I was thinking, we've been the
• 1:27:18
  host, you can find us on social media on Instagram and Twitter
• 1:27:23
  of I was thinking pod will we make a tick tock?
• 1:27:27
  I know we discussed last time at some point, maybe a good format
• 1:27:32
  for it because I don't want to just I don't want it to just be
• 1:27:35
  a black screen I was talking so I want me and not just a picture
• 1:27:38
  either. Like I wanted to be the being
• 1:27:39
  interactive and fun. Okay, some people just pose
• 1:27:42
  black screens and they seem to be getting a lot but we'll see.
• 1:27:46
  But yes, that's been that. That's where you could find us
• 1:27:50
  email. I was thinking POD at.
• 1:27:52
  Gmail.com. If you have any questions,
• 1:27:54
  comments, no concerns and it'd be great if you can rate of some
• 1:27:58
  Stars. So again, I've been Simone
