I'm Stephanie.
0:00
I'm Meredith.
0:01
Welcome to This Is My Circus.
0:03
There you go.
0:05
How you doing?
0:05
I'm doing.
0:06
Doing.
0:07
How are you doing?
0:08
I am doing too.
0:09
I'm really good today.
0:10
Are you?
0:10
Don't know why.
0:11
You look good today.
0:11
You look like, like lovely.
0:12
Thank you.
0:13
I feel so, started the new job a couple weeks ago, and I was just starting to feel like productive again.
0:17
Not where I'm just like doing nothing.
0:19
And I think that's really just got me feeling kind of, feeling kind of good.
0:24
You know, good luck getting things done and feeling purpose.
0:26
Yes.
0:27
Not just a bump on a log.
0:29
So, that's, that makes me feel better.
0:31
Good.
0:32
Yeah.
0:32
And you're acclimating to the new company and everything.
0:35
It's just, you know, when you start somewhere new, you have to not only learn like their systems and their softwares, but like the climate of the place and like, yes.
0:42
And how they run their meetings.
0:44
Like trying to get the cadence of all that stuff.
0:46
Like, are they one of these companies that are like really dry, you know, and just like, I wouldn't do well there.
0:52
I obviously do not do well in those either.
0:55
but you know what I mean?
0:56
Like, are they just like short to the point or do they, are they a little more personable?
0:59
So just trying to get my bearings with all that.
1:02
it's still working on that.
1:03
I've been running a couple of meetings this week and I know, I don't know if they can understand a word I say with my accent.
1:10
I always feel like that.
1:11
It's so strong.
1:13
Have you ever seen those means that it's like, I don't think I have a country accent until I hear myself.
1:18
And then it's like cornbread or something.
1:20
So funny story on that.
1:22
When we lived in Tennessee, we were lived right outside of Nashville and one of Brandon's coworkers had the heaviest Southern accent.
1:31
Ever imagine.
1:33
And when he drank, it became 40 times worse.
1:36
Oh my gosh.
1:37
And his nickname was corn, corn, not cornbread.
1:42
It might've been, it might've shortened it.
1:44
But all of us would go out in Nashville, like drinking or whatever, but you could not understand the dude like after.
1:50
At all, like after like two drinks.
1:54
When Brian first started working at, the Lowe's that he's at now, there was three people on his team.
1:58
That was him.
1:59
And he is a country mumbler.
2:02
Like he can be very difficult to understand.
2:04
And well, I'm sorry.
2:06
Let me rephrase that.
2:07
I have a hard time understanding him.
2:09
Apparently it's nobody.
2:12
It's everybody else.
2:14
Okay, so country mumbler and then, um, lady named Emma and she's from England.
2:20
You might know Emma.
2:21
No, you don't know Emma.
2:22
No, but I love English accents.
2:24
I know how to too.
2:25
Um, so there's, so there's that.
2:27
And the third person was from, Either New Jersey or New York.
2:30
And just that very strong accent.
2:33
Like she would say, uh, draw instead of a drawer, which I obviously can't say that either.
2:40
Yes.
2:41
So between the three of them, I don't know how they got anything done because it was just like a communication barrier and they all spoke English.
2:50
Anyway, yeah.
2:51
So what have you been up to?
2:52
just, oh, I, my sister and my niece are in town.
2:55
So I spend some time with them.
2:58
I haven't seen my sister in forever.
2:59
So it was good to actually see her.
3:00
And I just talked to her.
3:02
but they leave tomorrow.
3:03
Okay.
3:04
So, how about your niece?
3:06
20.
3:07
Okay.
3:07
So not like a two year old running around.
3:09
Okay.
3:10
but She had stayed with us during COVID for like six weeks.
3:15
so, it was, it was nice to see her again too.
3:17
yeah.
3:18
But, yeah, it's just kind of hanging out and, and whatever.
3:21
I did have, um, my, You're talking about Jersey.
3:24
My Jersey came out this week.
3:26
I went off on Dylan's dentist.
3:29
Um, what happened?
3:31
So we had gone like previously, like for cleanings and stuff to Clover smiles.
3:35
Yeah.
3:35
And I think that they got new people there.
3:39
Cause like the people that we had seen previously were not there.
3:41
So I don't know if they got bought out or, you know, somebody took over the practice.
3:44
Yeah.
3:45
So Dylan needed to get a bridge on in his mouth and we had gotten it.
3:49
It broke and within three weeks.
3:50
And so we went back and they're like, okay, we have to order like this extra, whatever thing.
3:56
It'll be here in a week.
3:57
Go back.
3:58
They had, you know, and they brought Dylan back as they don't really let parents go back there anymore when they're over however old.
4:05
So Dylan's back there by himself.
4:06
And, They tried to get him to sign off on a different procedure.
4:12
Like, he is not 18.
4:15
He is not allowed to make those decisions, like, legally, I don't think.
4:19
Well, I don't know.
4:21
I, I think after 14, they can make certain decisions because I called Jackson's doctor's office.
4:28
He needed like a sports physical paperwork.
4:31
And they were like, well, he's over 14.
4:32
He needs to give us permission.
4:34
So he had to sign a form.
4:38
To give rights to his account to me.
4:41
And that's okay.
4:42
But he can't, he's not financially responsible for, that's what I told them.
4:46
I was like, wait a minute.
4:47
This is on my husband's insurance and we pay the bills, but we have no, they're like, nope.
4:54
Well, so I don't know how it is with dental, but that's still crazy.
4:57
So Dylan's like, um, can you get my mom?
5:00
Yeah, absolutely.
5:01
Absolutely.
5:01
And thank God.
5:02
Like, yeah.
5:03
And so I went in there, I'm like, this is not what was discussed.
5:06
This is like the third time we've been in here, like, I was livid and like the poor office manager dude was like, um, I was like, Yeah, I'm slowly getting louder.
5:18
Yeah.
5:18
And Dylan hasn't really seen me go off on somebody like not in our house.
5:23
He hasn't seen you use your powers for good Let me get my my phone camera.
5:28
Yeah, did he record you?
5:30
Well after they left the room They were supposed to go get the dentist I said don't buy that camera Pointing up like flip it over so they don't know it's running because I was like, yeah, I was like, I don't care record it Right.
5:40
Yeah.
5:40
The guy comes back, he's like, the dentist wants to see you.
5:42
And I'm like, okay.
5:43
I go in there and he's like, he knew I was mad anyway, I was like.
5:48
I have no confidence in this practice.
5:50
I said, you were trying to get my son to agree to services.
5:53
That was never discussed.
5:54
In fact, told you I didn't want that treatment.
5:56
Um, cause I didn't want his other teeth affected.
5:59
Yeah.
6:00
Um, so like, this is not okay.
6:02
I would like a refund and I'll go somewhere else and get the treatment done.
6:05
Yeah.
6:05
And he was like, you let me speak.
6:08
And like, I think it's the culture he was, you know, like, okay.
6:10
And I was like, I don't have nothing left to hear of what you have to say.
6:13
Like you had your people go in there and try to get my 16 year old son to agree to the treatment already discussed with me.
6:19
And I said, no, that's not cool.
6:20
And he's like, I never, who, who Sue said this?
6:23
And like the guy is standing right next to me.
6:25
I was like, did you not?
6:26
And did the other girl not say this?
6:27
And he's like, yes.
6:31
Oh, no.
6:32
I, after like 15 minutes of getting like louder and like Dylan had come out of the little procedure room and was Yeah.
6:38
around the corner, like he's like, mom, like those memes of like, Jesus, like hanging around the corner, He's like, mom, if he got any louder, I was gonna go in there and tell him.
6:48
Yeah.
6:48
And I was like, you need to let me handle it.
6:50
Yeah.
6:51
Because I was, I took every bit of me not to swear at the dude.
6:54
Yeah.
6:54
And I was like, I just want a refund.
6:56
Just gimme a refund.
6:57
I'm going somewhere else.
6:58
Yeah.
6:58
Just gimme a refund.
6:59
Like, yeah.
7:00
He's like, he just.
7:01
Finally, the office manager's like, I'll process it.
7:04
Let's go.
7:06
So the dentist was, was like, are you in back with you?
7:09
That's cause usually, so I did work in healthcare and usually it's like the doctors and the, they're just like, whatever, just do what you need to do to make her happy.
7:17
And you know, they're straighten this out.
7:20
Yeah.
7:21
all local listeners do not go to Clover Smiles.
7:24
Yeah.
7:26
That's crazy.
7:27
I feel like I have a friend that had a problem there with her, um, What their son's procedure to oh, this is also they were an hour and like 10 minutes behind I've never sat in a dentist office like for like late.
7:41
Yeah, what I mean, we're always in and out Yeah, and it was an hour and like 10 minutes or so before they even got us back there and then all of that happened Oh my goodness.
7:50
I would livid to begin with Yeah.
7:52
I, you know, stuff happens and people run late, but when they don't, did they give you the courtesy of even letting you know?
7:59
No.
8:00
Yeah.
8:00
So as I was like getting more angry, like the southern was leaving and my Jersey was coming.
8:11
So we walk out of there.
8:12
I was like shaking mad, like furious.
8:16
And Dylan's like, yo mom.
8:19
I was just like floored.
8:21
Yeah, so oh, yeah, i'm, sorry.
8:24
It's okay um, So anything else exciting?
8:28
I mean, that sounds like, is your blood pressure okay now though?
8:30
Did it take a while for you to calm down?
8:32
Sure.
8:34
It would have me.
8:35
Listen, they're like, that was, that was like easy stuff.
8:38
Oh yeah.
8:40
Yeah.
8:41
I've been going through some stuff.
8:42
so my sister gave me a hand me down.
8:45
Thank you, Poe.
8:46
Apple watch cause she got a new one.
8:48
I've been wearing it for a little bit, but it's always funny and I've heard people say like, I'm at a ball game and it'll tell me to calm down.
8:54
I've, I've lived that.
8:55
I don't even remember what it was, but I was just wondering if you had yours on, at the dentist's office and it started getting crazy.
9:00
I did not.
9:01
I never remember to charge it.
9:02
so I probably haven't worn it in like three months.
9:04
I know it's bad.
9:05
I need to get one of those stands like for my desk.
9:07
I do have one, upstairs next to the bed thinking I would just take it off at night of the night.
9:10
Yeah, I never do.
9:11
Yeah, I know.
9:12
I need to be better about that kind of stuff.
9:13
I need some more routines, Get up.
9:17
Good at that.
9:17
I know.
9:18
I know.
9:18
And I feel like I go to bed at night thinking I'm going to do good.
9:21
Like I'm going to get up in the morning and put moisturizer and sunblock on, you know, even though I work from home inside and, but you know, I'm going to do the things and not, yeah, it doesn't happen.
9:32
Nope.
9:32
Sure.
9:33
No, I get up and stumble, get my coffee and stumble to my desk.
9:36
And I'm just like, why did somebody put an, you know, early meeting on?
9:41
so anyhow, Um, what else?
9:45
What else you want to talk about?
9:46
Um, well, how did you like the book that we, we read, um, this week?
9:50
First Lie Wins.
9:51
Um, it was interesting.
9:55
You want to read us?
9:56
Yeah.
9:56
The blurb?
9:57
Okay.
9:57
Evie Porter has everything a nice Southern girl could want.
10:01
Oh, she was Southern.
10:03
You didn't pick up on that?
10:04
No, I'm sure I did, but yeah, I have a story with this.
10:06
Hold on.
10:07
Okay.
10:07
We'll get to that.
10:07
Okay.
10:08
Um, Evie Porter has everything a nice southern girl could want.
10:12
A perfect doting boyfriend, a house with a white picket fence, a garden, a fancy group of friends.
10:17
The only catch, Evie Porter doesn't exist.
10:20
The identity comes first, Evie Porter.
10:22
Once she's given a name and a location by her mysterious boss, Mr.
10:26
Smith, she learns everything there is to know about the town and the people in it.
10:31
Then the mark, Ryan Sumner.
10:33
The last piece of the puzzle is the job.
10:35
Evie isn't privy to Mr.
10:36
Smith's real identity, but she knows the job will be different.
10:39
Ryan has gotten under her skin, and she's starting to envision a different sort of life for herself.
10:45
But Evie can't make any mistakes, especially after what happened last time.
10:50
Because the one thing she's worked her entire life to keep clean, the one identity she could always go back to, her real identity, Just walked right into town.
10:58
Evie Porter must stay one step ahead of her past while making sure there's still a future in front of her.
11:04
The stakes couldn't be higher, but then Evie has always liked a challenge.
11:08
Yes, she has.
11:10
I You didn't like it.
11:11
I can tell by your face.
11:12
Okay, so I actually listened to this when it first came out.
11:15
Oh, okay.
11:16
I didn't like the whole like Spoiler, I feel like we're gonna say some spoilers.
11:20
It was interesting for like the first like couple of chapters and then I, I just thought it got super boring and it did not hold my attention.
11:25
Really?
11:26
Okay.
11:26
See, I was kind of opposite.
11:28
Okay.
11:29
I felt like it took me a minute to get into it and I was like, why do we keep going back and forth?
11:33
So the premise of the book is she is basically undercover and she, but she works for like A private dude.
11:42
She's not like undercover like FBI or anything.
11:44
Right.
11:44
She's, she's undercover bad guy.
11:46
Right.
11:46
Well, she got caught stealing.
11:48
Yes.
11:48
And to get out of trouble, this guy offers her a job.
11:52
And then, so she starts, she's got all these fake identities and each identity comes with a different, um, thing.
11:59
She has to steal people.
12:00
She needs to get to know or something.
12:02
So at the beginning I was like, uh, I mean, okay, cool.
12:06
You got a cool job.
12:07
And then, and then it got really interesting for me, like towards the middle and the end when things started clicking into place, like, oh, she, she knew this guy, so she's doing this because she knows this.
12:20
So that was neat to me, but I didn't see that from the beginning.
12:25
Did you, Guess who Mr.
12:27
Smith was?
12:27
No, I thought Mr.
12:28
Smith.
12:29
So Mr.
12:30
Smith is, um, you never, we never see him.
12:33
We never hear his voice.
12:35
It's always with a, like a machine, um, changing the way that he speaks and No, I thought it was gonna be a woman, to be honest with you.
12:43
Yeah.
12:44
so like I said, the beginning I was like kind of hooked'cause I'm like, oh gosh, like here.
12:47
Interesting.
12:48
Yeah.
12:48
Like who is this check coming in are they going to kill her?
12:50
Evie or whatever.
12:52
Right.
12:53
And then I was like, oh God, this back and forth, going back and forth over it.
12:58
And then when, like the last, like, 10 minutes of the book.
13:02
I was like, boom.
13:03
Yeah.
13:04
Yeah.
13:05
I was back in.
13:05
Right.
13:07
It was still not, I guess I wouldn't ever, ever recommend or read it.
13:11
There were again, there were too many harsh.
13:15
I know it's fine.
13:17
So last week, you know, the book that we read had a lot of characters and a lot of people and we were fine with it, but this one, even though it didn't have as many characters, I guess, because she was changing her roles.
13:27
Almost.
13:29
Got lost in future.
13:31
I mean and they did a great job saying future But yeah, so I I'd enjoyed it.
13:38
I wouldn't read it again, but it did keep my interest.
13:41
What would you rate it?
13:43
I would rate it about a seven six No, it's six or seven.
13:47
Yeah I'd do a four.
13:49
You'd do a four?
13:50
I think that's the lowest I've ever rated a book.
13:51
Probably.
13:52
You hated this one.
13:53
I really just didn't like it.
13:54
I don't know why.
13:55
Like, I, it just wasn't for me.
13:57
Um, how do you think that you would be in a covert mission?
14:00
Because I would suck.
14:03
Um, I think I'd do good.
14:04
Do you?
14:05
Well, it depends on what I'm, like, Somebody would call me a different name, but I wouldn't answer.
14:09
You wouldn't answer.
14:11
I like to think I would do good, but let's be honest.
14:13
I am not the smoothest.
14:15
I would like laugh.
14:17
Yeah, you think so?
14:18
I would not be able to like play this role.
14:21
Like I was never in drama club or anything.
14:23
Oh yeah, no me neither.
14:24
I'm a nervous laugher.
14:25
Yeah.
14:26
And like, do not sit next to me.
14:27
In a serious, like, did you ever have though, like your class would like put on a, like, not, you weren't in the club, but your whole class would be involved in a play.
14:36
And I always was like, this is the year that I'm going to get the lead.
14:40
And I'm, I mean, I was really shy.
14:41
I never wanted to leave, but I was always like the background.
14:44
Girl number four.
14:45
Yeah I was never the one who was a center stage.
14:51
That's like not for me.
14:52
Yeah, but I think I'd be okay I'm good one on one and yeah, we we You know give out to the people.
14:59
Yes.
14:59
Yes, like if I was in front of like Oh, no in front of a lot of people.
15:03
Yeah.
15:03
No that I don't do well in front of a lot of people.
15:06
I don't like presenting.
15:07
I have to present for work, like, stand up and speak and stuff and teach.
15:11
And that is not my jam.
15:13
Yeah, I don't like it.
15:15
No, I wouldn't do good.
15:16
And I really, really, really feel like I would just totally screw up in the first 5 minutes.
15:20
I think I would be okay because I feel like I can.
15:24
Almost blend in a little bit.
15:26
Like, I feel like I'm giving myself way too many props.
15:32
No, see, I think that I, um, I would never keep all of the identity straight.
15:39
Oh yeah, that's true.
15:39
I would get messed up.
15:40
Well, like she said, tell the truth as much as you can.
15:43
I would still mess it up.
15:44
Yeah, you think so?
15:45
I would mix up the names.
15:46
Yeah.
15:46
And then it would just be like a hot mess.
15:48
I would not do all, I think people that, first of all, it's crazy to me that there are people that really do stuff like that.
15:54
Yeah.
15:55
And um, like the whole Jason Bourne thing, I'm so fascinated.
15:58
But you have to be really, really smart to, you could tell me I disagree my friend.
16:06
Okay.
16:06
Here's what we're gonna do.
16:08
We're gonna, we're gonna create different identities.
16:10
Oh god.
16:11
And we're gonna go out somewhere and have dinner or drinks and we're gonna pretend like we're other people.
16:18
Okay.
16:19
I don't know what we're gonna do or how we're gonna, what.
16:22
Just get to pick our professions, like what are you are?
16:23
Oh yeah.
16:25
I am a stripper.
16:31
Um, no, my profession, I'm gonna, I'm a, I'm a teacher.
16:36
Okay.
16:37
I'm a teacher.
16:37
Okay.
16:38
I teach English.
16:39
Okay.
16:40
I'm gonna be a dog walker.
16:41
Well, I mean, that's like what my dream job would be, but that's not like, That's something I could pull off.
16:49
That's, I walk, and it would be true because I do walk a dog.
16:52
See?
16:52
And so it's not a lie.
16:54
You know, that's funny because I do it with my job.
16:57
I do write documents.
16:59
I do that kind of stuff.
17:00
Yeah.
17:01
Oh my gosh.
17:02
She could do it.
17:02
Oh my gosh.
17:04
I can totally do this.
17:05
We totally can.
17:05
Um, what, you have a lot of notes over there.
17:08
So I took lots of notes, okay, because I was like researching like updates on different cases.
17:13
Okay, so that's a lot of like true crime, you know, okay, cool.
17:16
Okay.
17:17
Yeah.
17:18
Quick question.
17:19
Have you ever done jury duty?
17:20
No.
17:21
Never?
17:22
Let's not put it out in the universe though because I kind of want to but then again I don't.
17:25
Okay.
17:26
Have you?
17:26
I've been called to like go to you know be picked or whatever probably four or five times.
17:32
And I've only gotten picked once and it was an entire week long case trial thingy and but here's my take on this.
17:42
Okay.
17:42
I don't think that the person that's on trial should be able to see the jury.
17:46
Like, I think it should be a double glass mirrors.
17:49
Yeah.
17:50
because the dude just sat there and he kind of just like looked at us the whole time.
17:53
Yeah.
17:53
That's intimidating.
17:55
Yeah.
17:55
Memorize this.
17:57
Right.
17:58
and it wasn't even like a super serious case, but could you imagine No.
18:04
These like, So, side story.
18:07
Yeah.
18:08
A girl I've worked with a long time ago had jury duty in Charlotte, and you know, Charlotte, I don't know if it still is, but they used to have a lot of M13 gang members.
18:16
Oh.
18:17
And several years ago, there was a trial, and I'm talking like 15, 20 years ago, where a lot of them were on trial.
18:25
And she was on that and like, she had cops taking her everywhere.
18:30
Like when she was a smoker and when she would go for a cigarette or whatever, the cops would escort them to the place and take them in and out.
18:38
So, and here's the kicker for me too.
18:41
So what, I don't, I honestly don't even know what happened with that.
18:43
Like the outcome of all of that, but she still lives in Charlotte.
18:47
So, I mean, all these gang members that, Yeah, I'm, I'm with you.
18:52
I don't think that they should.
18:53
I've always wondered about that too.
18:54
Like, sure.
18:55
Let the attorneys like pick the jury, you know, and, and veto or at whatever they want to do, but don't let the people on trial see who was there.
19:04
Yeah.
19:05
My sister, my other sister, Carrie, um, she was picked for grand jury.
19:09
Right before Covid.
19:10
Okay.
19:10
and with that you have to do it for a full year.
19:12
It's one day a month for a full year.
19:14
Oh.
19:15
I didn't know how that worked.
19:16
And she said it was awesome.
19:17
It's deciding if they're gonna go to trial.
19:18
Right.
19:19
If they have enough evidence.
19:20
Right.
19:21
She's like, well, you get to see everything.
19:23
all of, like, they, they present all of everything that they have and she's super.
19:28
watching blood crime and stuff.
19:29
Yeah, yeah.
19:29
I do think that would be cool, but that's a lot.
19:31
That's a commitment.
19:32
But she just got called for jury duty.
19:36
Not even in the town that she's in, like, it was like another place, like 45 minutes away, but she didn't get picked for that one.
19:43
And then she got called for jury duty locally.
19:46
And then, but she, I guess she didn't get picked and then she got called for grand jury again.
19:50
Oh my God, this is all in like six months and she got picked for grand jury.
19:55
Again, again, and that's another year, one, one month.
19:59
That is huge though.
20:00
That's a lot to ask of people.
20:02
I'm not going to lie.
20:03
Yeah.
20:04
So did you see the dude, like the little clip on Facebook it was like a, 20 something year old kid.
20:08
And he's like, there should be a degree for like jury dutiness.
20:10
That's a good idea.
20:12
And have people that have like a partial law degree that understands the law and understands, and that wants to do this as a profession, do this.
20:21
he's like, I don't want a jury of my peers.
20:23
My peers are stupid.
20:24
My peers are stupid.
20:27
That's not a bad idea.
20:28
But, I also then along with that don't think they should be able to see your face.
20:32
Right.
20:33
Well, and I know, you know, that's part of the thing.
20:35
You want the demographic to be different.
20:37
And, I mean, who knows what demographic would try to be, you know, would they be Yeah, there be an equal of, you know, well educated.
20:45
Yeah.
20:45
Well, I mean, obviously they don't be well educated because they have half law degrees, half a lawyer.
20:52
I don't know.
20:52
I don't know what you would teach them, but it'd have to be like, what is like legit and what's not because you're talking to me about law terms.
20:59
And I'm like, Right.
21:00
No clue, buddy.
21:01
And there are so many different types of law.
21:03
Yeah.
21:04
That you, oh, this is fascinating.
21:07
I know.
21:09
I don't know.
21:09
Like, I don't, I, I was very much like dude sees my face.
21:14
Yeah.
21:14
That's, I don't like that either.
21:16
And it's like a local person.
21:17
You know what I mean?
21:18
Like, I don't like that at all.
21:19
You should have worn the glasses with the nose.
21:24
Didn't think of that.
21:25
Did you see?
21:26
That's how you go undercover.
21:27
But that's what you want to do.
21:28
Is it illegal?
21:29
'cause it's illegal to go to a church like that in Alabama.
21:34
Good point.
21:35
Good point.
21:35
Yes.
21:36
so yeah, that's my take on jury duty I did my civic duty once did and did.
21:41
And I feel like there are so many people said, that's what I'm saying.
21:43
He said do it more than once.
21:44
I think there's enough people that would qualify and probably that really would like to do it.
21:49
That's my thing, like.
21:50
Don't force people, people to do things.
21:53
There's enough of us with enough different interests that somebody stop it.
21:59
Are you gonna put this in another reel and you're gonna get me in trouble again?
22:02
No.
22:02
I'm thinking like, could you imagine like all these like true crimey people that like, oh yeah, they'd be lying.
22:07
I'd lying.
22:08
Yeah.
22:09
I'm a true crimey person about, I'm a true because I don't want them to see, see my face.
22:13
Yeah.
22:14
Yeah.
22:14
I watch too much True crime.
22:16
Yeah.
22:16
For me to want them to see my face.
22:19
I'm good.
22:19
And you're good.
22:20
So you're good with the book too.
22:21
You didn't want to read that again for next week's book.
22:24
You still want to read first law ends again?
22:28

22:29

24:20
So we'll share that.
24:21
I'm excited about that.
24:22
Um, while we're on the book subject, I read the Jada Pinkett Smith book.
24:28
And it was very interesting.
24:31
I did not know anything about her other than she married Will Smith and then their relationship got weird.
24:38
I did not know.
24:40
Oh, sorry.
24:40
That might be, I don't mean that to sound judgey as it did, but it just.
24:44
If you hear everything that's going on, it got weird.
24:47
Um, it was, so she was like a hood rat.
24:52
Did you know that?
24:53
Like, can we see, can we say that?
24:54
Like she was, she sold drugs.
24:57
Did you know that?
24:57
So she was a drug dealer.
24:59
Okay.
25:00
And.
25:01
She like carried weapons on her person, which I guess most drug dealers probably do, but she was friends with Tupac.
25:08
She was like obsessed with him, wasn't she?
25:10
They were like BFFs, according to her book, they were BFFs and they tried to be romantic.
25:15
And it was kind of like in friends when, when Rachel and Joey tried to kiss and it didn't work.
25:21
Um, yeah.
25:22
So her mom was a drug druggy.
25:25
Okay, so her mom's a druggy while she's selling drugs and just Craziness just hearing the story.
25:32
She grew up very very poor and She really She keeps saying like towards the end of the book because I wanted to hear the most about the Will Smith Relationship kind of thing.
25:43
She touches on the Chris Rock situation, but she says that They didn't have an open marriage.
25:52
They just had a lot of discussions.
25:54
And then, yeah, and then she said, so they cheated, but well, she says it's not cheating because they were, they, well, they weren't, she, it wasn't cheating because they had discussions about it.
26:07
So it's not like they were hot things before pretty much.
26:11
I'm going to do this.
26:12
Person, literally And that's okay with you, right?
26:16
Because we're gonna talk about it, right?
26:18
Yes, exactly.
26:20
Um, yeah.
26:21
So like on, on the gladiator, like yes.
26:24
Yeah, so that was it.
26:25
That's that's well speaking of like Hollywood then let's get into our Holly over to our drama Did you did you see Eminem's daughter got married?
26:34
I did not she did.
26:35
She's so beautiful.
26:36
He really is And she seems like such a good, well, put together, not your typical celebrity kid in light of everything that she's been through.
26:44
Yeah, absolutely.
26:46
Like, yeah.
26:47
For her.
26:47
Yeah.
26:48
What other news do you have?
26:49
so, okay.
26:50
You know, 50 cent is like ultimate petty, troll.
26:52
Yeah.
26:52
This whole PDA.
26:53
Oh, and he was at the wedding.
26:54
Oh, well, of course.
26:55
Yes.
26:56
So yes, he is.
26:57
So he.
26:59
Sold his docuseries that is going to be coming out called.
27:03
Did he do it?
27:04
Did he do it?
27:06
That's great.
27:07
That's great.
27:08
He sold it to netflix.
27:10
So they're saying that that should be out by the end of the summer.
27:13
Okay.
27:13
And it's going to be a series, but here's the funny part.
27:16
Okay.
27:17
So TMZ also did already really, or sell something to Tubi, which is like, I've never watched Tubi, but I guess it's another streaming service.
27:26
So TMZ released the documentary to Tubi, but they just announced, you know, they had to put out the news that 50 Cent just, you know, sold his docuseries to Netflix.
27:40
So when they did this, like made this article, they did not use a flattering photo.
27:44
A 50?
27:45
A 50.
27:46
Yeah.
27:46
So this is what he, he puts on Instagram.
27:48
Oh gosh.
27:49
He is It's freaking hysterical.
27:52
His caption on this photo is, TMZ, he's this fat boy picture of me because their doc wanted to be lol.
28:02
It's okay guys, we're all making good television.
28:05
Mine just happens to be the best.
28:07
Oh my gosh.
28:07
Netflix won the bidding war, but if more victims keep coming, I'm going to need more episodes.
28:13
Oh my gosh, he, you know, like when he went through like his like fluffy stage.
28:16
Mm hmm Um, and they found the like fluffiest face picture that they could find.
28:21
At a bad angle.
28:23
Then they had, you know, P.
28:25
Diddy, like he's like super skinny.
28:26
Uh huh.
28:27
Yeah, but he was like, that uses that blue picture.
28:33
Rude, rude.
28:35
Um I went down, you know, we've talked about the TikTok rabbit hole with this stuff, and I tried to catch up a little bit because I know you're a little farther ahead of me in all this drama, but have you heard the Justin Bieber stuff too?
28:49
Oh, it's so sad.
28:50
It is so incredibly, so basically just how he's involved.
28:55
He was, he was a victim of, of this and yeah, just the interviews that show.
29:01
And it's so crazy in retrospect.
29:05
When you see him, you're like, well, that's why he was acting this way and terrified.
29:10
And you know, you think he's just nervous because he's talking to Diddy.
29:14
No, he's nervous because that's his abuser.
29:17
Yeah.
29:17
In my opinion.
29:18
Allegedly.
29:19
Yes.
29:20
Thank you.
29:20
I couldn't legally come at us.
29:22
No, no.
29:23
I am team 50 all the way.
29:26
Oh gosh.
29:26
Yeah.
29:27
Oh gosh.
29:28
Yeah.
29:29
Okay, speaking of that whole drama, tell me why Suge Knight has a podcast from jail.
29:35
Shut up.
29:36
Are you kidding me?
29:37
100%.
29:39
How does somebody in jail have a podcast?
29:41
And why are they allowed to have a podcast?
29:44
That doesn't make any sense.
29:47
He gave some, um, he on his podcast gave some advice to P Diddy.
29:52
What was it?
29:55
He said something to the effect of, and this is not a direct quote, it is what I can remember because my brain, you know.
30:01
it was, some guys, P standing up, some guys P squatting, I suggest you do the first.
30:10
Well, you know, I mean.
30:13
When you get to jail.
30:13
I mean, it was like.
30:14
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
30:15
Jail, like.
30:15
Yeah.
30:16
Get ready.
30:18
I'm surprised he hasn't.
30:20
But why does Shug Knight have in jail?
30:22
I don't know.
30:22
That is crazy.
30:24
Like, work release is one thing.
30:26
You're in jail.
30:26
Having access to books, and I don't mean like new books, I mean like books like.
30:31
Go with the wind and catch her in the rye.
30:36
The Great Gatsby.
30:37
Yes.
30:39
But having access to do that.
30:44
And who says he's not sending messages to his people through those?
30:48
I, that, yeah, that's a whole nother thing.
30:50
But I was just like, I just said this to my sister.
30:52
I'm like, they're there for punishment.
30:55
Like, and that's rehabilitation too, but that does not include No.
31:01
I get frustrated when I think about kids, lunches not getting paid for, but.
31:07
Yeah, that is, but we won't go there because we're not that kind of show.
31:11
No, but that doesn't make me.
31:12
But if you want to, if you want to contribute to the GoFundMe for Jackson's lunch, I'm just kidding.
31:19
So, I heard It's such an old case, but I was shocked because I was scrolling and I just happened to see somebody report on this and it was on TikTok.
31:29
So take it for what it's worth, but I tend to believe it's true.
31:32
Chris Watts.
31:32
Yeah.
31:33
so that's an old case.
31:35
And if you don't know the case, he murdered his pregnant wife and two small, small three and four year old daughters.
31:41
and he hid the bodies on his worksite in like oil.
31:46
Well, yep, things.
31:48
and then tried to blame it on.
31:50
He did.
31:50
Yeah.
31:52
Or he just didn't know what happened to him.
31:53
They just kind of disappeared.
31:55
And, um, yeah, but he was eventually called.
31:58
Yeah.
31:58
Do you know his awful parents tried to collect life insurance on his wife and the two children?
32:04
His parents did his parents.
32:06
Is that not disgusting?
32:08
Like disgusting.
32:10
But I guess Apple doesn't fall far.
32:12
No, it doesn't that's just like the whole thing Gabby Petito sorry sounds right where her Boyfriend killed her and then who knows?
32:23
I mean, I don't think it's ever come out That was when they were traveling right?
32:27
Right, but he was quote missing for a while and and Anyway, his parents were helping him hide.
32:33
Yeah, is, is allegedly what happened.
32:36
Um, But yeah, parents suck.
32:39
So then I went down like that, a little bit of a rabbit hole, like it's just like legit.
32:42
And then I saw that the people that bought the Watts house, you know, all the true crime people, I guess, kept like coming up to him, or not, or whatever.
32:49
And like, so he had made a statement on Facebook saying like, leave us alone.
32:52
We are not like Chris.
32:53
We're not, you know, it's not our family.
32:55
Well, the dude's name was Chris.
32:56
Oh, geez.
32:57
Not too long ago.
32:59
they are getting divorced.
33:01
and he has a DV case against him domestic.
33:04
So he is he kind of is so I was like they need to like get that house Like an exorcism, like, out of that.
33:12
Set it on fire.
33:13
Get all the bad juju out there.
33:16
Goodness.
33:17
That's crazy.
33:17
Isn't that nuts?
33:18
So, do you know a lot about the Chris Watts case?
33:21
I watched like the documentaries on it.
33:23
But like, I'm not like Well, one of the things that really set the cops off To start looking at him was the fact that his neighbor had, um, cameras and the cameras weren't necessarily pointed at the watch house, but they caught, like, his truck coming in and out because just the way that the houses were situated.
33:43
Well, When he killed his family, he put them in his truck, like his work truck, and drove off.
33:49
Well, when they were, um, the cops were watching the videos, and, um, Chris Wat like, they just walked over to the neighbor's house, and he was like, yeah, I got cameras.
33:58
Let's go watch them.
33:59
So Chris Watts the neighbor and the cops are all like watching it on tv and chris watts is like pacing and acting really nervous and agitated and he left the room for something and the neighbor you can hear like this is in the the video that the cops took off his vest um he's like something's wrong like he doesn't act like this and that was like one of the red flags for them to really start hounding him that's crazy.
34:24
Yeah creepy so speaking of documentaries.
34:26
Yes.
34:27
so I kept telling like the last couple weeks about the Miller.
34:31
Yeah.
34:31
The case.
34:31
And like, it happened to this crooked town.
34:34
So Did you hear of Operation Tarnished Venge?
34:39
No, that is the operation.
34:41
It was the largest corrupt operation of police, uh, like investigation and the history of North Carolina.
34:49
And that was in this county operation tarnished badge.
34:53
Yes.
34:53
And there is a true crime show.
34:55
There is an episode on this.
34:58
Oh, my goodness.
34:59
So it this happened back in 2007 when the investigation started.
35:04
Um, and it was like years and years and years of people making claims or, you know, the whole town talking everybody's corrupt, but nothing was ever done.
35:12
Mm hmm.
35:12
And so they started this investigation, 22 law enforcement officers were implicated in the investigation.
35:22
Wow.
35:23
An informant said that the cops gave him a gun to do a home invasion, which they, the cops, disguised as a sting operation.
35:32
Oh, no, the, uh, and then the gun disappeared and like when it was recovered, it was in the police officer's locker.
35:40
Oh my goodness.
35:42
Yeah.
35:43
Um, the investigation included pirating satellite signals, kidnapping, perjury, drug trafficking, armed robbery, money laundering, evidence planted at crime scenes, arson.
36:00
And assaults.
36:01
Oh my goodness! Oh my gosh, that's crazy.
36:06
So, like this little town that all this happened in, and you know, they're still saying that there's a lot of corruption there.
36:11
That's crazy.
36:12
Right?
36:13
Because I was like, how crap is this place?
36:15
Like, everybody's like, on TikTok, it's the most crap town ever.
36:17
Right.
36:17
And you're thinking like, oh, there's a family.
36:19
Like, it's 22.
36:21
They paid people with drugs, the cops paid people with drugs to set places on fire.
36:28
Wow.
36:28
They stopped a car of, like it's known, drug dealers and kidnapped these drug dealers.
36:34
That's the kidnapping charge?
36:36
Yes.
36:37
They don't sound like really smart guys, I'm not gonna lie.
36:40
Well, they got away with it for so long until, I guess, somebody got somebody's attention.
36:47
Craziness.
36:48
Wow.
36:49
Yeah.
36:50
Operation Tarnished Badge.
36:52
Uh huh.
36:53
Okay.
36:54
Bananas.
36:54
That is bananas.
36:56
Yeah.
36:56
That is bananas.
36:57
Well, you have been, you know, digging into that and watching that.
37:01
Um, I've been watching Bridgerton.
37:05
Have you seen it?
37:06
I've watched the first two seasons.
37:07
Okay.
37:08
But I haven't watched the new one.
37:10
Well, it's pretty good.
37:10
Yeah.
37:12
Okay.
37:12
That's all.
37:16
That was like really, I mean, I mean, there's like new new stuff coming out every day with this.
37:20
Yeah, he's I'll listen to a tick tock in it and it was so funny On it not in it because everything they were saying was like stuff that you had already told me so it was like one of those robotic voices, and it was like, he had them clear the land, da da da da da, and I was like, I already knew that.
37:38
Next video please.
37:40
Update, please.
37:41
Right.
37:42
Yeah.
37:42
So like, I don't know, like this, it just keeps getting weirder and weirder.
37:45
Yeah.
37:45
For stuff that's coming out.
37:46
Like he tried to take all of her possessions.
37:49
she couldn't have anything when she left.
37:51
The divorce papers, this is what was really weird.
37:54
So the divorce papers that he was served with said that there was like such few things that she wanted.
38:00
Yeah.
38:00
it was like her AirPods.
38:02
Like, I mean, like, just like little things, like, there was like maybe five or six things listed in it.
38:05
And her firearms.
38:07
Those were hers.
38:08
So if she had firearms, like she owned firearms, plural, fire, like, why is she going and buying a gun from, Oh, that's true.
38:16
I mean, yeah.
38:19
So weird.
38:20
Oh, and then they said that the security for the church, his wife is a police officer for like their town or whatever.
38:30
Um, so tell me how I.
38:32
Shady that is.
38:34
The same church that had two pedophiles on the staff.
38:37
Yeah, it just keeps getting worse and worse.
38:43
Maybe he and P.
38:44
Diddy will be roomies.
38:46
Are they peeing standing up?
38:49
They can do whatever they want to do.
38:50
I'm sure they'll get handled soon.
38:52
I don't know.
38:54
There's your updates.
38:56
I just think it's crazy that Whenever there's conspiracies and stuff like that, like, there's so many people involved that it takes so long for things to come out.
39:06
Like, I'm like, that's too many people for.
39:09
I just said this last night.
39:11
I said, could you imagine being like so untouchable for so long, like getting away with this for 30 years?
39:18
I mean, really thinking you are untouchable and then everything comes crashing down.
39:24
Well, and they're almost to the point where they don't even realize they're doing anything wrong probably.
39:28
Like that's just life.
39:29
Did you see the video of P Diddy?
39:33
And Cassie at that hotel.
39:35
That was terrible.
39:37
And then his poor little video he released back saying he was embarrassed at it.
39:42
Yeah, I couldn't even watch the whole thing.
39:44
That video was sickening.
39:47
Yes.
39:48
Yeah.
39:49
Yeah, it was awful.
39:51
Yeah, if you've not seen it, you can, you can definitely look it up.
39:56
You want to, but it's, it's very, lots of warnings for, it's very triggering for, abuse.
40:02
Yeah.
40:02
Crazy, crazy.
40:04
Yeah.
40:05
But like he does, I mean, it was like a public hallway.
40:07
Okay.
40:08
So that means all the hotel people had to be covering that up because Brian was like, why is this just coming out?
40:13
Why is this?
40:14
Just and I was like.
40:16
Probably because the statute of limitations I think is up now for domestic violence and wherever he was But I was like that means that the people that worked at the hotel The who like all these people were in on it.
40:29
They paid he paid the hotel 50, 000 something or other to keep that under their but I guess whomever had it released it recently I don't know what somebody is Implying yeah that because they can't do anything You With it because the statue is out of that it got leaked because of that so that he can get canceled.
40:50
Yeah, so there you go.
40:53
Crazy, crazy.
40:54
P.
40:54
Diddy.
40:55
They're calling him the Diddler.
40:59
That's his, like, villain name, the Diddler.
41:01
Diddler.
41:02
That's gross.
41:05
Um, yeah, it does.
41:07
Very much so.
41:08
okay.
41:09
So, are we gonna do Am I the A Hole today?
41:12
Oh, I forgot.
41:12
I feel like we need to end on a funner.
41:14
Yeah.
41:14
Or on a better.
41:16
Splendor.
41:17
All right.
41:18
So preferencing let's with, I don't camp.
41:22
Okay.
41:23
Not camping for me.
41:24
Like there's is a hotel.
41:26
Okay.
41:27
I grew up camping in a tent.
41:29
I will do it now for like one night in a camper and then I'm done.
41:33
Okay.
41:34
I don't, I prefer condos and resorts.
41:39
So my, when I was like five, we used to like camp as a family.
41:43
Yeah.
41:45
The first time I did it.
41:46
And I told my mom, can we just go to a hotel?
41:49
Like, why?
41:52
But as a little pipsqueak, five year old.
41:56
All right.
41:56
So am I the a hole?
41:58
Am I the a hole for making my husband carry his own stuff on a camping trip?
42:04
Okay.
42:05
Okay.
42:05
My husband and I, along with two couples, we're friends with all early mid forties, decided to go on a backpack hammock camping trip.
42:14
Sounds terrible.
42:14
Okay, like terrible.
42:17
All of us, except my husband, are experienced campers.
42:19
I was very surprised he wanted to go, but also happy he wanted to participate in an activity I enjoy.
42:25
Before the camping trip, we all met multiple times and discussed what to bring and agreed we need to pack as lightly as possible.
42:33
We would be carrying everything in backpacks and sleeping in hammocks.
42:37
Sounds horrible.
42:40
My husband also agreed with this.
42:43
The day of the trip, my husband packed eight outfits, five pairs of shoes, four pairs of swim trunks, and five pairs of pajamas, along with an inflatable queen size mattress.
42:53
This would be me.
42:55
The queen size blow up mattress, matching sheets, and comforter set, battery operated air pump, portable white noise machine, like where's he getting it?
43:03
Like, yeah, electricity.
43:06
Um, a laptop, portable hotspot, and a charger.
43:10
There was some other stuff, but I don't recall what those were.
43:13
Naturally, he packed more than anyone else.
43:17
When we arrived with our friends to our destination, it was A several mile hike to where we plan to set up.
43:23
My husband started trying to delegate to the others who should carry what of his stuff.
43:30
I told him that we all agreed that we'd each carry our own gear and that meant he's responsible for his, he argued back saying he had more than he could handle and needed help.
43:38
I reminded him that he knew how much to pack.
43:41
There would be Lots of hiking and he didn't bother to use a backpack, but instead two full size rolling suitcases.
43:48
Shut up! Shut up.
43:53
Okay.
43:55
He told me that I'm being petty and he's new to this, so give him a break.
43:59
He then tried getting our friends on his side by pointing out how it's his first time camping and He didn't know what to do.
44:06
I interjected and said that he'd been part of all of our meetings to prepare and he heard everything That was said and chose to disregard it Oh my gosh I then encouraged our friends to stick to our agreement Of everyone carries their own stuff and said it's not fair for to me or anyone else in the group to put extra burdens on Ourselves by carrying my husband's stuff because he made a poor decision to grossly overpack after a short debate everyone else ended You Up agreeing with me and my husband had to carry his own gear stuff Okay, my husband ended up being far more worn out than the rest of us because of how much he had to carry Now he's tired cranky and sore and still saying I am unreasonable to expect him to carry all of that on his own.
44:48
Am I the a hole for making my husband carry what he packed?
44:52
Then it said, there's like an extra little note that they add.
44:55
Um, when my husband was Packing I reminded him what he needed to bring and told him he's way over packing and to be practical He insisted he needed everything.
45:06
He packed as well as he insisted on using the roller suitcase as carrying a backpack is too embarrassing for him She's not the a hole.
45:15
He, although I like totally feel like his need to like have things.
45:21
Yes.
45:22
Was an idiot, one for agreeing to go camping.
45:25
He does not seem to be a camper.
45:27
This, um, I'm assuming that this is a, a wife and a husband.
45:34
We don't know.
45:35
Yeah.
45:36
But I am picturing, have you ever seen, Modern Family?
45:41
You know, Mitch and Kim?
45:42
Yeah.
45:43
Like, that's what I am picturing.
45:44
Um, no, this, no, she, the, no, he can carry whatever he wants to.
45:51
So, as I'm reading this, I'm like, oh my god, like, he is me.
45:55
Yeah, me too.
45:58
I overpack all the time anyway.
46:00
Like, I want to have all the things.
46:03
Did I ever tell you about the one time we camped in the backyard?
46:05
No.
46:06
You know, I do not camp.
46:07
Yeah.
46:08
You've made that abundantly clear.
46:09
Dylan wanted to camp.
46:11
Yes.
46:11
We do have a like three room tent for like 20 people.
46:17
Yeah.
46:17
22.
46:18
So we set it up in the backyard and I had Dylan's blow up mattress we put up there.
46:23
I brought out his big bean bag.
46:25
Mm hmm.
46:26
And Brandon, like, also slept out there with us, so it was all three of us and Moe.
46:30
Mm hmm.
46:31
So Sweet Moe.
46:32
We finally fall asleep and it's, like, awful, even in the backyard.
46:38
And Brandon, like, slowly pushed Dylan off of the toddler sized blow up mattress.
46:45
Dylan hops on the beanbag with me and slowly pushes me and Mo off, and I'm on the ground, like, this is not it.
46:52
This was not, no.
46:53
Um, did you get up and come inside?
46:54
Well, then, you know, Mo's, like, curled up with me.
46:57
Uh huh.
46:57
We're both like, this sucks.
46:58
Yeah.
46:59
My Mo was not, like, happy.
47:00
He was also, yeah.
47:02
And, We start hearing coyotes and I'm like, but with like pop his head out and pop his head back under the blanket.
47:10
It was like, I got to survive y'all.
47:12
Oh my goodness.
47:13
It was not it.
47:14
Like, so we bought this, this huge, tent because we went camping once in college.
47:19
There was like a Woods party.
47:22
I bet.
47:22
Yeah, and we bought this tent for that like stupidly like Cuz you know, it takes forever all the poles and all the things but it was it was really pretty yellow So that's why I picked it.
47:34
Oh my goodness.
47:36
That's so funny That's so funny.
47:38
So yeah, I don't camp.
47:39
Well, we do have a big tent as well and Jackson and his friends will camp in the field like once a year or something.
47:46
Just enough to get exhausted.
47:47
Um, yeah.
47:48
Um, but I don't think she is the a hole.
47:52
He should carry his own stuff.
47:54
I'm picturing them walking up the hill.
47:55
Up a mountain like I don't know, you know and him pulling two like purple rolling suitcases Behind him twisting his hips when he's walking And his loafers and his loafers.
48:07
That's right with all his products.
48:09
Listen, I I don't blame him Oh, I know you take the things but where is he getting electricity from?
48:16
Well some of that stuff You can have like there's crank things for like there's so that noise machine and stuff.
48:23
I don't know but like batteries Yeah, yeah, I'm going straight to cranking.
48:29
I didn't even think about batteries.
48:31
That's smarter Yeah, that's way smarter in my head But I say that because Brian's got like one of the little radios that you can crank like the emergency.
48:38
Yes Yes, he's kind of got some weird things like that.
48:46
All right.
48:46
So, let us know if you agree with us.
48:49
She is not, but I totally, sympathize with him and I would never have agreed to it.
48:55
So he is the a hole for agreeing to doing something that he's not.
48:58
I feel like that's what we keep saying is it's totally opposite.
49:01
That person is.
49:02
This one's a short one.
49:03
So that's good.
49:04
You want me to read it?
49:05
Are you tired of reading?
49:06
Sure.
49:06
You can read it.
49:07
Okay.
49:08
Am I the a hole for not stopping a guy from walking into a men's bathroom?
49:12
My mom was using.
49:13
My mom, 35.
49:15
And I, 17 year old male, walk into Target grocery store.
49:19
She needed to use the restroom, but there was a piece of paper taped to the women's bathroom door to state that the restroom was out of service.
49:26
It also stated that there were porta potties outside of the building to use instead.
49:30
My mom is kind of a germaphobe, so she couldn't stand the thought of using one of those.
49:34
She then asked me to check if anyone was inside of the men's multi stall bathroom.
49:40
There wasn't, so she said she's going to use it.
49:43
I really didn't care, but she told me to stop any guys from trying to enter.
49:46
I told her I'm not doing that, but she insisted that I do and continue to walk in the bathroom regardless of what I said.
49:51
Sure enough, a moment later, a guy came walking in.
49:54
I didn't say anything.
49:56
When my mom came out, she was embarrassed and yelled at me for not stopping him.
49:59
She then told me I'm grounded until further notice because of my disobedience.
50:04
Am I the a hole?
50:08
Oh, I mean, he should have stopped the dude.
50:12
That's his bomb.
50:14
That's what I thought.
50:15
He did tell her that he wasn't going to stop anyone.
50:18
So in his defense he said he was not gonna do that.
50:21
Yeah, but I, and I think that's how Jackson would react, but I think I could talk him into like, dude, just do it just, just for me.
50:28
Come on.
50:28
I think Dylan would have just done it.
50:30
I don't, yeah.
50:30
Like I don't think he'd have a problem be like, yeah.
50:32
Can you wait a minute?
50:33
Yeah.
50:33
But, um.
50:35
I can see both sides because he was like, no, I'm not gonna do it.
50:39
Some kids are like super quiet and shy and don't feel like they have the authority to do something.
50:43
Especially if it was an adult.
50:45
Yeah.
50:45
Yeah.
50:45
So I don't really know.
50:47
I don't think, I don't think he's an a hole.
50:50
I don't think she's an a hole.
50:52
Yeah.
50:52
I just think she had to use the bathroom.
50:54
You know what I would have done?
50:56
I would have taken the piece of paper from the, the women's and put it on the men's till I got out.
51:02
That's really smart.
51:03
That's really smart.
51:04
Did you have, you want to use a porta potty?
51:06
Uh, I, I hate porta potties.
51:08
I went to, Costco yesterday and they are remodeling the Okay.
51:15
So they have all these like fancy ones and not that I went in there, but like a lady came out and she's like, oh, those were actually like, I thought they were going to be, so like, they were like fancy systems out there, but I still don't, yeah.
51:30
So Brian's going to kill me, but here we go.
51:35
we.
51:36
Sorry, not we, not we.
51:38
Lowe's, they recently redid the bathrooms and they had the fancy, nice trailers and they were of course outside.
51:47
Well, when you gotta go, you gotta go.
51:52
He had a day that his stomach was just not feeling right.
51:57
And he was like, okay, mind you, this guy has got like 300 sick hours in his stomach.
52:06
bank of time that he can use because he is never out of work.
52:10
He came home early that day and I was like, what's wrong?
52:13
He was like, my stomach.
52:16
He was like, and I had to keep going outside to go to the fancy port a potty because it was the big trailer thing.
52:21
And he was like, I just couldn't keep walking all the way out there and then walking back in and walking outside.
52:24
Everybody knew where I was going.
52:28
But Lowe's has new bathrooms.
52:30
Check them out, everybody.
52:31
But he said, he did say the trailers were really nice.
52:34
Well, they were like super fancy.
52:35
There were like four of them, and there was like a bunch of them.
52:38
And it was like multi stall, whatever.
52:40
Right.
52:40
So, um, but again, I like, I just, I was like, yeah, yeah, wait.
52:45
Yeah, can definitely wait.
52:47
Well, I don't know.
52:48
I don't think anybody's really wrong or right in that situation.
52:50
I mean, yeah.
52:52
I don't think he should be grounded until the end of time.
52:54
That's a little excessive.
52:56
And to be honest, there's so many bathrooms now that are gender inclusive or whatever.
53:01
I thought you said ginger.
53:03
Redheaded people can go to the bathroom anywhere they want to.
53:06
It's okay.
53:08
When I was in, DC last year, the year before, whenever it was, most of the bathrooms, like in the lobbies of the hotels with the bars and stuff were, were just gender, gender neutral with multi stop.
53:20
And that was weird for me.
53:23
I mean, what if you had to ask somebody for toilet paper and you're like, Can I?
53:26
Yeah, here you go.
53:27
You look under and it's like big bandages.
53:29
Right! So that's 14 somethings.
53:33
Um, yeah, I probably would have just played it off and been like, I gotta go.
53:38
Yeah, I don't think it would have bothered me as much as it seems to have bothered her.
53:41
No, no.
