  Speaker 1: Today we're going to talk about Pepsi versus Coke, the
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: song of the Summer. We found out a lot of
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: people have no internal monologue, allegedly. We have an update
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: on the Alex Murdau murder trial. Trump recently dropped his
• 0:21

• 0:30
  Speaker 1: and rude reviews from my dms. So stick around. Well,
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: there's such thing as winter Green, but there is something
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: such a thing as Pepperman.
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: Okay, but I'm I'm allowed to not like. But I
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: don't like, Michael, I don't like winter Green. I think
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: it tastes disgusting.
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: I prefer there's barely a difference between Winterman and Peppers unless.
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: You don't like something, in which case I don't like
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: winter Green and I don't want it.
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: For context, I just broke into someone's desk at the
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: iHeart Studios and took a bunch of mints, and it
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: turns out their winter Green, and Melissa didn't want them.
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: I don't like winter green.
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: They're good.
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: No, they are not.
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: And you could tell you she smelled it and knew immediately,
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: yes that it was winter You could. I could not.
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: I don't.
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: In my head, I wouldn't know.
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: Do you know the difference between coke and PEPSI answer carefully?
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: I know. I honestly was about to give a hot take,
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: and then it was like, this might be the thing
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: that does me in. I can taste the difference, but
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: I don't care about the difference. If I'm drinking a cola,
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: and that's the end of the show. That's the end
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: of our show. Folks, Thank you so much for going
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: to need to take pepsi challenge. If I am drinking
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: a cola, it's it doesn't matter to me. I do
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: not care. They're both great, they both taste delicious. I
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: know this is like. And the thing is is that
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: it's actually the hottest take of all the coke pepsi takes,
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: because when your take is that it's the same, you
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: piss off everyone. It's not like you made the pepsi
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: people happy. No, they're mad at you too. So I
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: know God gives his like toughest battles to his sexiest warriors,
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: you know. And that is and it's and it's really
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: my cross to bear. Out of all the things in
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: my life like this is the one that keeps me up.
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: At night, I've never been more disappointed in anybody in line.
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: I know, I know, not only not only am I.
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: Outraged and enraged, But wouldn't you want me to be
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: honest with you?
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: No, I'm yeah, but you're I mean, yes, thank you
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: for being honest. I appreciate your honesty.
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: I'm loving this. I'm loving this. I'm loving this. It's
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: very military Chikh militia Melbourne.
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: This is I want you to thank you for the compliment.
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: But we're not getting away from the coke versus.
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: I'm really trying to change the subject.
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: So not only do they taste vastly different, yes, vastly different, yes.
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: But I think it's because I'm I will eat and
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: drink any most things. I love every I'm not a
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: picky beverage girly. If someone hands you a PEPSI, you're
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: gonna spit on them, slap it out of their hands.
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: I won't accept it. I will not accept it. If
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: I go something, no, I will not be as I
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: don't understand.
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: I think that's a little crazy.
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: I don't like it.
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: Okay, all right, I think it's pretty similar to a coke.
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: No, it is not at all, right at all.
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: Maybe you're a super taster, I'm not. Do you eat cilantro? Yes, well,
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: then you're not a supertastious.
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: I like I like Clancha.
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: Have you seen these clips of Tyra Banks saying she's
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: a super taster.
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: No, Tira should not be speaking.
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: Of crazy people with hot opinions about Yeah.
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: Pepsi does not taste good and coke is delicious, Okay,
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: really tastes different. And if I go place and I'm
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: going to ask for like a soda, I ask that
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: you confirm is it pepsi or coke? And if they
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: say pepsi, I say no, thank you can to have a.
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: Nice Well, I feel like it's ninety nine percent of
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: the time it's going to be a coke. If it's
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: a pepsi, they will say we have pepsi.
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: I mean, I feel like pepsi is very down south.
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: It's like pepsi is big down there for some.
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: Reason, down south of Union Square where the taco bell is. Yes,
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: that's where that's why they sell pepsi a Taco.
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: Bell, they do, which is why I don't go.
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: To Taco Bell. Now, maybe that's why I like pepsi
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: so much, because I'm always I've got I'm doing cartwheels,
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: both legs behind my head, drinking a pepsi at Taco
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: Bell four in the morning.
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: I here's the thing about I haven't had Taco Bell
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: in a really, i mean years, decades.
• 4:42
  Speaker 3: But.
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: I think I would enjoy the Mexican pizza, which is
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: what I used to love.
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: That was mine. We love the Mexican pizza. Love a
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: little cross cultural mashup like that. Like that is that's
• 4:57

  Speaker 2: I'm so glad that you asked, Michael. So this weekend,
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: my lovely goddaughter Emma graduated from college and we had
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: a lovely party for her where I saw my aunt
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: who hadn't seen it in a while, and my aunt is
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: a fan of the pod, and she had a few questions.
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: I'm ready.
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: One of the questions was just like, sometimes I don't
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: see you talking about me. Sometimes I don't see you.
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: Sometimes I see Michael walking and talking to himself.
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, and.
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: He always has on a beautiful shirt.
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: Love.
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: Okay, So don't you guy wants to know why she
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: sees you walking around and talking by yourself? Was he
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: talking to don't you get he was a friend of
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: the pod and She was just like, why aren't you
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: with him? And why is he talking to himself? And
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: where does he get his shirts?
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: That's actually a question I asked myself all the time.
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: That is great. I love that. Yeah, I love her
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: just asking the concept of a TikTok. Why is he
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: talking to the camera?
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: So I think I don't. I don't think that my
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: aunt understands that your TikTok is different, if not the
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: show at all.
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: Love that. That is so bad because.
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: For whatever reason, it's all coming to her at once once.
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: She's just getting on the show.
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: And he doesn't understand. She's very confused.
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: My shirts I get them from EVERYWHEM and I get
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: most of my stuff on eBay. Honestly, once you know
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: your size, you can just like doom scroll eBay that
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: on stuff it gets quite dangerous. Yeah, what were her
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: other questions?
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: Yeah, she's very very She was very curious as to
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: why you are talking to yourself? I am too, and
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: why I'm not w you and where you get your shirts?
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: Do you know some people don't have internal monologues? Have
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: you heard about this?
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: Who are these people?
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: I don't know, but mine's been set.
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: What do you mean when you people don't have internal monologue.
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: Some people just don't have them. Is that real? Yeah?
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: Do you have an internal model? Study? It's like a
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: certain percentage of the population.
• 10:21
  Speaker 2: Friends in the room, do you all have internal monologue?
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: It is a safe space if you don't, that's okay.
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: Is it just like crickets right never stops? I don't,
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: So I honestly envy the people who don't.
• 10:33
  Speaker 2: I don't. I think that's a very dangerous place to be.
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: I do because because that means that there isn't a
• 10:39
  Speaker 2: voice in your head saying to you maybe you shouldn't
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: do this thing, or like talking out a problem that
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: you just do.
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: Yeah, how do they function? It's like that guy. That
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: guy got an MRI and like ninety percent of his
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: brain was missing, but he lived a normal life. Yeah,
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: there are like some real anomaies.
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: Yeah, because I feel like I've met.
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: People where I'm like, you don't have an internal monologue.
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: I can tell you.
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: Don't have an internal monologue, or you don't have a conscience.
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: I do you know what I say, Like, there's no
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: like because I really feel like your internal monologue will
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: stop you right from doing dangerous things.
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: What's the ethics of someone without an internal monologue.
• 11:22
  Speaker 2: Yeah, if you friends, if you don't have an internal monologue,
• 11:26
  Speaker 2: can you let us know. I'm really curious. I'm really curious.
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: Is to go ahead?
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: It says up to ten percent of the population does
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: not have an internal monologue.
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: Okay, so that actually makes me feel better that it's
• 11:37
  Speaker 2: not that many people.
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: No, that's a lot of people.
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: No, no, no, but I mean yeah, then I would
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: have been like, oh, what's going on for the people
• 11:46
  Speaker 2: who know? It's not even a judgment. I'm just really curious,
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: Like what, I don't even know what that means to
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: not have an internal monologue.
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: They obviously can live their life.
• 11:56
  Speaker 2: No, no, no, they're living, but our decisions.
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: And drive and like hold down a job like it's
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: not but they're not having critical thinking solo time in
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: the shower, you know, like you and I are.
• 12:07
  Speaker 2: If I'm going to go out, let's get to go
• 12:09
  Speaker 2: food shopping, let's see. Right, So I'm like, okay, I'm
• 12:12
  Speaker 2: going to go food shopping and then maybe I'll have
• 12:14
  Speaker 2: to double back and go to the dry room. Like
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: I feel like that's a little bit of an internal
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: monologue also, right, it's not just like how do I
• 12:21
  Speaker 2: feel about life in itself. It's like regular things. So
• 12:24
  Speaker 2: if you don't have that, how are you deciding if
• 12:28
  Speaker 2: you're in the car on the subway where to get off?
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: We're going to let us know if that's you, because
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: I feel like this could be like a spectrum disorder
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: or something, you know what I mean. It doesn't have
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: to be.
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: There's there's varying reports that some some say.
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: Like psychology today says up to fifty percent of people.
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: Fifty percent see that? I think, is wow?
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: Well definitely everyone in our government. Well, actually, no, I
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: don't want to say that people are stupid. If they
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: don't have an internal monologue, no going to be brilliant.
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: They just process out loud.
• 12:56
  Speaker 2: Is that what we're out loud?
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: And don't we only know like five percent about the
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: human brain? Like there's only like so much that we
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: actually know.
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: Interesting?
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: Can we get into algorithms? I wanted to ask you,
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: did you follow the murder murders at all?
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: A little bit?
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: Okay, because it's gripped.
• 13:17
  Speaker 2: I don't understand what happened, what came to light?
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: So glad you asked what.
• 13:24
  Speaker 2: Came to light to allow this to happen?
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: There was a leged jury interference, gotcha. So his conviction
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: is now being questioned. So it was a twenty twenty
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: three double murder conviction. It's been vacated in South Carolina,
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: which doesn't mean he's just like walks free. He is.
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: He's still in prison for financial crimes. Okay, so the
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: criminal charges I've been vacated, but he's doing hard time.
• 13:51
  Speaker 2: He saw them do hard time.
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: Oh yes, and he's currently serving a sentence. So it
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: wasn't like he's released.
• 13:56
  Speaker 2: I know. But the loved ones, yeah, you know, oh,
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: of course, all those people, the victims. So when something
• 14:03
  Speaker 2: like that happened, you you want the person responsible to
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: pay for the act.
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: Absolutely not.
• 14:11
  Speaker 2: It doesn't matter that he's still going to do hard
• 14:14
  Speaker 2: time for the financial stuff. Yeah, the people who love
• 14:18
  Speaker 2: the folks that he of course took care, you know
• 14:20
  Speaker 2: what I mean?
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: Like, yeah, all right. So the allegations are that the
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: Supreme Court unanimously found that former clerk Becky Hill improperly
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: influenced jurors and denied Murder a fair trial. The jury
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: interference centered on the comments Hill made to the jurors,
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: including remarks about watching his body language. So she was
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: telling jurors, like watch his body language, don't be fooled
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: by him, like the county clerk at the courthouse.
• 14:49
  Speaker 2: Is it because she just wanted to be sure that
• 14:51
  Speaker 2: he went to jail like that he served the time.
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: No, I mean it really is.
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: Well, now the thing about it is here, this is
• 14:59
  Speaker 2: again so she did this Allegedly she did this for him,
• 15:05
  Speaker 2: but if she's been the county clerk for a while,
• 15:08
  Speaker 2: who else was she doing this for? So now it's gone.
• 15:10
  Speaker 2: This is the problem with stuff like this now is
• 15:13
  Speaker 2: because now people are going to be revisiting the cases
• 15:17
  Speaker 2: where she had been involved to see if she had
• 15:18
  Speaker 2: done the same thing for others.
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and the retrials could be higher stakes. They're saying
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: that they might go for the death penalty now in
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: the retrial. So there was this like undue influence. But
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: Murda is suing her in federal court for influencing the trial,
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: sure civil rights lawsuit jerry tampering misconduct. So this has
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: like blown back up again. We're all talking about this
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: fine like again we thought that we thought we got
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: the conviction, it was over, and now it's and it's
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: not back in the headlines. Another like trial in the headlines.
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: Have you seen the Trump was suing the irs for
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: ten billion dollars? Okay, today he dropped it. He dropped it.
• 15:58
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, he just dropped it because.
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: The judge was basically like, you guys have to show
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: evidence that the parties in this lawsuit are different because
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: both parties were hired by Trump. It's his private attorneys
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: and then his government attorneys negotiating against each other for
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: a settlement of taxpayer dollars that will be paid to Trump.
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: So the judge was like, you have to prove It's
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: called diversity of parties. So she was like, you have
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: to show that these parties are actually separate and different
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: and have competing interests for there to even be a hearing.
• 16:34
  Speaker 4: And he can't.
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: And he can't, so he wrapped it Withdrew with prejudice.
• 16:38
  Speaker 2: I don't understand what a.
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: Waste of time money.
• 16:40
  Speaker 2: It's a waste of time and money. And I really
• 16:43
  Speaker 2: feel like, I mean, obviously, I'm obviously I'm sure he
• 16:46
  Speaker 2: wants a payday whenever he can get one, but this
• 16:48
  Speaker 2: is just distractions, yes, exactly, Like he just wants to
• 16:52
  Speaker 2: distract us from the lousy job that he's doing. He
• 16:56
  Speaker 2: wants to distract us from the Epstein stuff like this
• 16:59
  Speaker 2: is all all anything that he could do to make
• 17:06
  Speaker 2: us look elsewhere.
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: Yep, he will do. And it's always like this is
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: one lawsuit. I'm sure there's fifty others where he's lining
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: his pockets that we're not talking about, you know, yeah, yeah,
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: it's crazy. He was in China last week.
• 17:19
  Speaker 2: Did you see how what he was saying to the
• 17:21
  Speaker 2: Chinese government. What was really great about our two countries
• 17:25
  Speaker 2: is how much American people love Chinese food. That, you know,
• 17:30
  Speaker 2: the same way that Chinese people have really taken to
• 17:35
  Speaker 2: like basketball and stuff. American people really love Chinese food.
• 17:40
  Speaker 3: Just as many Chinese now love basketball and blue jeans.
• 17:44
  Speaker 3: Chinese restaurants in America today outnumber the five largest fast
• 17:49
  Speaker 3: food change in the United States all combined. That's a
• 17:52
  Speaker 3: pretty big shape.
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: That is such a weird thing to say.
• 17:56
  Speaker 2: I mean, it is a weird thing to say. But
• 17:58
  Speaker 2: is it is I don't know, but is it is
• 18:01
  Speaker 2: it a weird thing for him to say?
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: No?
• 18:03
  Speaker 2: Right, this man, this man has lost his fucking marbles.
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: He really is demented.
• 18:09
  Speaker 2: This is he's lost his marbles and he's president of
• 18:12
  Speaker 2: the United States of Americ guy, We're.
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: Going to like find him on the side of the highway,
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: like walking barefoot, muttering to himself.
• 18:20
  Speaker 2: Do you ever hear you know that song by I
• 18:21
  Speaker 2: think it's by Fastball, where it's a song about this
• 18:25
  Speaker 2: couple who they just disappeared, and it's like they're just where,

• 18:39
  Speaker 2: it's just the And it's based on a true story
• 18:42
  Speaker 2: of this old, this elderly couple that just disappeared.
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: Okay, I'm going to text Afroman and I'm going to
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: have him write a song about this.
• 18:49
  Speaker 2: Oh, you would love it.
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: This is like visiting Peapot the nursing home.
• 18:52
  Speaker 2: This is like, you know, the thing is the way
• 18:54
  Speaker 2: that he speaks. Also, right, he was like, and it's
• 18:56
  Speaker 2: a really wonderful thing, isn't it.
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: This is Grandpa when there's like.
• 19:01
  Speaker 2: The world is on fucking fire. But let's keep talking
• 19:03
  Speaker 2: about Lomain. Let's just do that. Let's just keep on
• 19:08
  Speaker 2: talking about I don't know, egg drop once on soup.

  Speaker 1: I'm fully retained in perpetuit.
• 21:00
  Speaker 2: That something is bound to happen one day.
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: One time. Okay, So Alyssa is our good friend. We
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: asked her on the show one time during the pandemic.
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: We were all getting lunch because we're all in lockdown,
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: we couldn't do anything, and we're crossing the street. I'll
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: never forget this I have. We're in the East Village.
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: We're crossing to Tompkins Square Park. Alyssa just walks into
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: the street. Melissa shrieks, She goes. She said, get back here.
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: You look both ways, Melissa said, the paperwork alone, the paperwork.
• 21:38
  Speaker 4: That is something you say over.
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: The paperwork alone would be arduous.
• 21:43
  Speaker 2: You know why. I'll tell you why. When I was
• 21:45
  Speaker 2: in high school, I was going something with a bunch
• 21:48
  Speaker 2: of friends and one of the kids, the person that
• 21:52
  Speaker 2: I was with, got hit by a bus. Now okay, Well,
• 21:56
  Speaker 2: now this is he got hit by the bus. Not
• 22:02
  Speaker 2: super duper hurt, but it hit him in the shoulder
• 22:05
  Speaker 2: and it kind of like knocked him over and he's fine. No,
• 22:08
  Speaker 2: he's fine, No, he's fine. I had to call nobody
• 22:12
  Speaker 2: wanted nobody wanted to be the one to call his parents.
• 22:15
  Speaker 2: So I had to do.
• 22:16
  Speaker 4: And that would happen again, and that would happen again.
• 22:19
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it was. It was awful. Hi, missus Smith Melissa Malbranch.
• 22:25
  Speaker 2: I don't know, Like he's fine, but you know, Dom
• 22:30
  Speaker 2: got hit by a bus. Tom got hit by a bus.
• 22:34
  Speaker 2: But he's okay.
• 22:36
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 22:37
  Speaker 2: Sorry.
• 22:38
  Speaker 4: You know, my mother would blame you somehow, one way
• 22:41
  Speaker 4: or another.
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: My mom would want you to call some Melissa Alyssa
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: and my mother are very close.
• 22:46
  Speaker 4: I love her, We go way back.
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: She would want you to call.
• 22:50
  Speaker 4: Yeah, well I would find humor, I think, I.
• 22:53
  Speaker 2: Mean, it would depends, right, how bad is he hurt?
• 22:55
  Speaker 4: I still think i'd find humor.
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: Like the bus driver was basically blind. Your son is
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: so enormous. Yeah, I can't believe that.
• 23:03
  Speaker 4: I don't know what happened. It definitely wasn't his fault,
• 23:04
  Speaker 4: for sure.
• 23:07
  Speaker 2: He wasn't drunk or anything.
• 23:08
  Speaker 4: It was nothing to do with it.
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: Yes, the paperwork alone. And so I thought it would
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: be fun if we did relationship advice. Oh my god,
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: I think it's could be really fun with.
• 23:19
  Speaker 4: No one warned me.
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: Okay, wait, we.
• 23:21
  Speaker 2: Actually needed I had no idea what we were.
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: I did warn myself because I just made it up.
• 23:25
  Speaker 4: Okay, perfect.
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: So I also think we have to clear the record. Alessays, Okay,
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: she's no longer concussed.
• 23:31
  Speaker 4: I am no longer can cuss.
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: Okay, straight to camera, please, yes.
• 23:34
  Speaker 4: I am no longer concussed. In fact, I got past
• 23:37
  Speaker 4: today earlier today. Of hell, I am that of all. Medically,
• 23:42
  Speaker 4: I'm good.
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: And so this was your second concussion? This year is
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: your third?
• 23:45
  Speaker 2: Oh okay, it was a third.
• 23:48
  Speaker 5: People in my defense, Oh, like, what's a year like
• 23:51
  Speaker 5: in this year?
• 23:53
  Speaker 2: My god?
• 23:54
  Speaker 4: Twenty six just the one?
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: You know what? Thank you?
• 24:00
  Speaker 2: Months you're talking about three? Yeah, and you know what.
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: The research isn't in yet on whether or not that's bad.
• 24:07
  Speaker 4: No one has been proven, but it is bad. We
• 24:10
  Speaker 4: know that it's well.
• 24:11
  Speaker 5: Actually, I found out after I got the third that
• 24:13
  Speaker 5: if I was in school, I would no longer be
• 24:15
  Speaker 5: allowed to play sports, right, Yeah, like kids if they
• 24:17
  Speaker 5: get three concussions are like not allowed to play.
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: What is it? I don't know, like CBT or something.
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: Now that's cock Andbob t CT.
• 24:29
  Speaker 4: It's not related, not related.
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: The NFL and CBT issues CT.
• 24:34
  Speaker 4: That's what it is.
• 24:35
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm hoping I don't have I don't know why.
• 24:40
  Speaker 2: What is happening right that you are getting concussions? Okay?
• 24:44
  Speaker 4: In my defense from what I understood, Okay, this is.
• 24:47
  Speaker 2: Always whenever she tells you a story, she prefaces it
• 24:51
  Speaker 2: by saying in my defense.
• 24:52
  Speaker 5: Right, So apparently once you get hit, you can get
• 24:56
  Speaker 5: hit more easily after that.
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: That's one because you're like dizzy and falling in No.
• 25:01
  Speaker 5: Well yes maybe, but also like they say that, like
• 25:04
  Speaker 5: your symptoms kind of like settle and then get like
• 25:08
  Speaker 5: revamped when and like, I'm no doctor. I want to
• 25:11
  Speaker 5: make that very clear. I don't actually know what I'm
• 25:13
  Speaker 5: talking about, but this is what I've been told. Okay,
• 25:16
  Speaker 5: this is what the rumor is. Okay, So the first
• 25:19
  Speaker 5: one was like an honest mistake where I was getting
• 25:21
  Speaker 5: in a cab and hit my head. The second one
• 25:23
  Speaker 5: was my death. Perceptions was genuinely off and I hit
• 25:26
  Speaker 5: my head on the counter. It had been like eight
• 25:29
  Speaker 5: months since then, and this time was because in my
• 25:34
  Speaker 5: apartment in Miami, the door is normally opened. My mother
• 25:38
  Speaker 5: is afraid of getting locked on the balcony and so
• 25:41
  Speaker 5: because she has very irrational fears.
• 25:45
  Speaker 4: The balcony, No she is not.
• 25:47
  Speaker 2: Is it possible to get locked out?
• 25:48
  Speaker 4: No it is not.
• 25:49
  Speaker 5: In fact, the door is a locked so yes, but
• 25:52
  Speaker 5: she is not. She's very much a very strong rule.
• 25:56
  Speaker 5: You cannot you cannot close the door. I had a
• 26:00
  Speaker 5: friend the.
• 26:00
  Speaker 2: Door is sorry, I'm sorry. This door opened constantly.
• 26:03
  Speaker 5: Only when you're on the balcony, So if you're on
• 26:05
  Speaker 5: the balcony, the door needs to stay open.
• 26:07
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 26:08
  Speaker 5: I had a friend who was visiting. She closed the
• 26:11
  Speaker 5: door because she thought she was nice to do. I
• 26:14
  Speaker 5: was like, oh, I'll go get something, and I like
• 26:16
  Speaker 5: went and then smacked right into the door.
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: Thinking a lot of there are a lot of videos
• 26:20
  Speaker 1: like this, like for fail videos.
• 26:22
  Speaker 5: Luckily there was no one filming, but it was in
• 26:24
  Speaker 5: front of a group of people, not thrilled. Yes, yes exactly,
• 26:28
  Speaker 5: And I would have sued her somehow.
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: Okay, And so we found out about this. You were
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: driving when you told.
• 26:34
  Speaker 4: Me where was I driving?
• 26:35
  Speaker 2: Why was I in Miami?
• 26:37
  Speaker 4: Oh that makes sense?
• 26:38
  Speaker 2: Okay, yeah, I made lawyer.
• 26:40
  Speaker 6: Yeah yeah, but you're feeling better now.
• 26:44
  Speaker 4: I was in Denver. I was not. I was in

• 26:47
  Speaker 2: I was always sorry. When was that?
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: Oh? Yes, and let me tell you something. We took
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: a break to reset for this segment. Alyssa was booking

• 35:51
  Speaker 1: You get your nose pierced?
• 35:52
  Speaker 2: It was your nose, wasn't I having to get it
• 35:54
  Speaker 2: was my nose because I had to get it repierced
• 35:56
  Speaker 2: because it it closed during the pandemic pop out and
• 36:00
  Speaker 2: then whatever, I had to get it redone.
• 36:03
  Speaker 5: Okay, So here's my favorite part about that. We went
• 36:04
  Speaker 5: to a random tattoo place from that, which, by the way,
• 36:07
  Speaker 5: why did we do that?
• 36:08
  Speaker 3: Then?
• 36:09
  Speaker 2: But then the next time we went to Maria No,
• 36:11
  Speaker 2: we did.
• 36:13
  Speaker 5: This shitty place right, So that place I remember I
• 36:16
  Speaker 5: did it, and I like jolted or some not by much,
• 36:19
  Speaker 5: and I was like, he got really mad and he
• 36:22
  Speaker 5: was like, if you had.
• 36:23
  Speaker 4: Moved any more, I would have like taken your ear off.
• 36:26
  Speaker 2: Right, But you're so lucky. I'm so good. You're so lucky.
• 36:29
  Speaker 2: I'm so good. I remember. It was like a douche
• 36:32
  Speaker 2: she got.
• 36:33
  Speaker 5: And then when we went to Maria Tash they were like,
• 36:35
  Speaker 5: we do this to babies, like that is not true
• 36:38
  Speaker 5: that you like could have moved right, and you were
• 36:42
  Speaker 5: like this guy was was trying to make himself look better.
• 36:45
  Speaker 5: I know, which is why from now ever since then,
• 36:47
  Speaker 5: I will never go anywhere for any of them.
• 36:48
  Speaker 2: But Maria, it was a good experience at mariotas.
• 36:51
  Speaker 5: Something that's like right legit, Yeah, because we went to
• 36:54
  Speaker 5: this place and he literally, you know, he was like
• 36:56
  Speaker 5: in this like we did no research, right, We just
• 36:58
  Speaker 5: went it was on bleak, went down these rickety steps.
• 37:01
  Speaker 4: Yeah, it was like not good. We were all like, yep,
• 37:03
  Speaker 4: we're doing this. We're in at lunch. Uh, in the
• 37:05
  Speaker 4: middle of our lunch. Yeah, in a lunch.
• 37:07
  Speaker 1: I followed you to just.
• 37:11
  Speaker 4: So, Yes, I've bonded over a trip to a piercing
• 37:15
  Speaker 4: with me.
• 37:15
  Speaker 2: Yes, But did you ever bond with a bunch of
• 37:17
  Speaker 2: people and get like matching tattoos?
• 37:20
  Speaker 3: Oh?
• 37:20
  Speaker 4: Are you trying to hit that's something I see what's
• 37:22
  Speaker 4: going on?
• 37:26
  Speaker 5: Literally, Oh no, I see what's going I know what
• 37:30
  Speaker 5: story you're trying to get me to tell. Okay, So
• 37:32
  Speaker 5: I was in Porto. We had a friend, I had
• 37:36
  Speaker 5: a friend in from Australia. I had a friend from London.
• 37:40
  Speaker 5: I we obviously am from the US. We were all
• 37:43
  Speaker 5: together in Porto and we decided this is so cool.
• 37:47
  Speaker 5: We all live in different parts of the world, like we're.
• 37:49
  Speaker 4: Going to do this every year.
• 37:50
  Speaker 5: We're going to make sure we do a trip every
• 37:51
  Speaker 5: single year, and we're going to make it so that
• 37:54
  Speaker 5: we get a line for every.
• 37:56
  Speaker 4: Place that we go to.
• 37:57
  Speaker 6: And so you were dead, soberly sober absolutely, Yes, for
• 38:04
  Speaker 6: sure in Porto, which is not known for wine.
• 38:10
  Speaker 1: Wine Portugal.
• 38:11
  Speaker 5: Yes, And so we went to a place they did
• 38:16
  Speaker 5: not speak English. I had to call my friend who
• 38:18
  Speaker 5: was port and he was like, I don't this man
• 38:22
  Speaker 5: does not understand. He thinks all you're asking for is
• 38:24
  Speaker 5: a line, and I was like, no, that's what we're
• 38:26
  Speaker 5: asking for exactly what. Yes. So we got on the
• 38:30
  Speaker 5: back of our neck and we're like, this is such
• 38:32
  Speaker 5: a great idea. And then the next day we well,
• 38:35
  Speaker 5: not the next day. We were really still into it
• 38:37
  Speaker 5: the next day, and then like a month or two later,
• 38:39
  Speaker 5: it was like a curge all of this, Like there
• 38:41
  Speaker 5: are two ways this goes. One is we get the
• 38:43
  Speaker 5: one line and never again, or we do this and
• 38:47
  Speaker 5: we keep it up and we have a barcode on
• 38:49
  Speaker 5: the back, so there's no way this wins.
• 38:52
  Speaker 4: And so what ends up happening, of course.
• 38:54
  Speaker 1: Is that we did the one time never Yes, When
• 38:57
  Speaker 1: did you realize this was maybe a mistake.
• 39:00
  Speaker 5: Longer than it should have been, like about a month
• 39:02
  Speaker 5: and a half two months later, when people started.
• 39:05
  Speaker 4: Like making comments, right, what is that?
• 39:09
  Speaker 2: Well, so Alyssa comes back and she was just like,
• 39:11
  Speaker 2: well I did this thing. And I was like, all right,
• 39:14
  Speaker 2: let me see it, like what is it? And then
• 39:16
  Speaker 2: she shows it to me and I was like why
• 39:19
  Speaker 2: did you do this? And she was like, I don't
• 39:21
  Speaker 2: because I promised that I would, so I couldn't.
• 39:23
  Speaker 4: And you were like a loyal friend. Yes we did
• 39:26
  Speaker 4: say that, Yes I like it.
• 39:28
  Speaker 2: But Melissa said she's going to do something. I'll do it.
• 39:30
  Speaker 2: She'll do it, no matter how stupid it is, no
• 39:35
  Speaker 2: matter how much. In the end, she decided that she
• 39:37
  Speaker 2: doesn't really want to do it, but she said she would,
• 39:39
  Speaker 2: so she who was it?
• 39:41
  Speaker 4: Somebody? In fact, somebody want to I think it was
• 39:44
  Speaker 4: one of you.
• 39:45
  Speaker 5: But somebody came up with like a new story that
• 39:47
  Speaker 5: I thought was much better, and I started telling this story,
• 39:50
  Speaker 5: but like I would always end up not telling their
• 39:52
  Speaker 5: fruit story every time, so it defeated.
• 39:53
  Speaker 4: The purpose was that like when you die, it's like
• 39:57
  Speaker 4: the year that you were born and the year that
• 39:59
  Speaker 4: you die.
• 40:00
  Speaker 5: There's a line in between, and it's the line I
• 40:03
  Speaker 5: got the line in between, and I.
• 40:04
  Speaker 4: Was like, that's so beautiful.
• 40:06
  Speaker 1: That sounds like something a drunk person made up.
• 40:08
  Speaker 5: Yeah, but that's like the story I'm going to tell everyone.
• 40:10
  Speaker 5: But if you never once have I stuck to that
• 40:13
  Speaker 5: one story.
• 40:13
  Speaker 2: But the other thing about when the dash, there's supposed
• 40:18
  Speaker 2: to be dates between the dash and there's no date, no,
• 40:20
  Speaker 2: no the dash in between?
• 40:22
  Speaker 1: Where's your birthday? Though?
• 40:23
  Speaker 2: But where's the date?
• 40:24
  Speaker 1: Oh?
• 40:24
  Speaker 5: I see you I should have I'm not gonna do
• 40:26
  Speaker 5: that because youth date on it, right.
• 40:30
  Speaker 2: But so I don't know who told you this to
• 40:32
  Speaker 2: do this. This is the most ridiculous thing because the
• 40:34
  Speaker 2: whole thing I want to say was what do you
• 40:36
  Speaker 2: I wasn't me.
• 40:37
  Speaker 1: I think it was not me you to this.
• 40:42
  Speaker 4: I did not come up with it, not that I'm
• 40:44
  Speaker 4: not that clever.
• 40:45
  Speaker 2: But the only way to do it if it makes
• 40:47
  Speaker 2: sense that you nineteen whatever dash and then the end day.
• 40:51
  Speaker 2: And the thing about that also is.
• 40:53
  Speaker 1: That you have to die tattoos posthumously.
• 40:56
  Speaker 4: Yes, no, I'm not doing that. That's that's what I mean.
• 40:59
  Speaker 4: This is a whole plan is.
• 41:01
  Speaker 2: Well, I did not tell you to do I did
• 41:04
  Speaker 2: not tell you to do.
• 41:04
  Speaker 1: Put it in your will. Please finish the top two before.
• 41:10
  Speaker 2: Totally random thing about people in there in their wills.
• 41:12
  Speaker 2: But the woman who does my hair shout out to
• 41:15
  Speaker 2: Lorraine in her will. She has it that not to
• 41:18
  Speaker 2: straighten her hair smart because she's like really worried that
• 41:23
  Speaker 2: somebody might get over zealous and decide that her hair
• 41:26
  Speaker 2: needs doing.
• 41:27
  Speaker 4: People do get like they. I have seen it at
• 41:30
  Speaker 4: funerals where people I'm like, that is not the same
• 41:32
  Speaker 4: person who did.
• 41:33
  Speaker 1: That, right, that person's hair. Yeah, people are frying their
• 41:37
  Speaker 1: hair with the flat iron.

  Speaker 5: I still wanted to reach out to seek both of
• 46:21
  Speaker 5: your guidance, advice input regarding a truly shocking situation involving
• 46:25
  Speaker 5: the school board in my hometown. The board has banned
• 46:28
  Speaker 5: Mother of a Revolution from being performed at the upcoming
• 46:32
  Speaker 5: Spring Wind symphony performance, stating it's indoctrinating students. This from
• 46:37
  Speaker 5: a school that has had us singing religious songs in
• 46:39
  Speaker 5: a church every Christmas. I myself was cast as a
• 46:42
  Speaker 5: Lady of the Night in limis errab my shining moment
• 46:45
  Speaker 5: online only line and play in play making money in
• 46:49
  Speaker 5: your sleep.
• 46:51
  Speaker 4: Uh so proud.
• 46:52
  Speaker 5: The instructor has followed the school board's guidelines from the start,
• 46:55
  Speaker 5: but regardless they now have banned it a week frire
• 46:58
  Speaker 5: is this legal? How can I, as a community member
• 47:01
  Speaker 5: help fight back? I include the full meeting here, walk out, walk.
• 47:06
  Speaker 1: Out, do us sit in protest. That's my advice. That's
• 47:10
  Speaker 1: what I would do.
• 47:10
  Speaker 4: You would for a spring show, you would actually do that? Okay.
• 47:14
  Speaker 1: Wether of a Revolution was composed by Omar Thomas for
• 47:16
  Speaker 1: contemporary wind ensembles. Does not have lyrics, soulous and it's
• 47:22
  Speaker 1: about it has to do with trans LGBT issues. It's
• 47:28
  Speaker 1: like a celebration of bravery of trans women.
• 47:32
  Speaker 2: But it has no lyrics exactly.
• 47:34
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's so what's the big How is that in doctrine?
• 47:36
  Speaker 4: How would they even know what it was about unless
• 47:38
  Speaker 4: you actually did the research exactly.
• 47:40
  Speaker 1: So it's like it's not like preaching to the children.
• 47:43
  Speaker 1: It's a wind ensemble.
• 47:44
  Speaker 4: Yes, okay, it was so stupid, so you really would
• 47:48
  Speaker 4: like take it to this absolutely.
• 47:50
  Speaker 1: When I was in the fifth grade, I staged a
• 47:52
  Speaker 1: protest for what. They closed the playground. I'm not kidding,
• 47:55
  Speaker 1: and I alerted the press and they came. My parents
• 47:58
  Speaker 1: were called. They had a with the superintendent about you
• 48:02
  Speaker 1: don't don't fuck with me even in the fifth grade. Yeah, yeah,
• 48:05
  Speaker 1: keep swinging bitches, you can't hit me.
• 48:07
  Speaker 4: Wait, but she asked, is this legal? Is it legal?
• 48:10
  Speaker 1: I mean if the school board decided yeah, yeah, okay,
• 48:13
  Speaker 1: And then.
• 48:14
  Speaker 4: She says, how can I, as a Communian member help
• 48:16
  Speaker 4: fight back.
• 48:16
  Speaker 1: That fight back?
• 48:17
  Speaker 3: Ye?
• 48:18
  Speaker 1: Walk out? I think there was also there was a
• 48:20

• 48:23
  Speaker 1: a song that was I guess there's a lot of
• 48:27

• 49:12
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 49:13
  Speaker 5: The next one could not get through the first one.
• 49:15
  Speaker 5: I tried car buying. She repeats her privileged status and

• 49:52
  Speaker 2: buy a car and I could not understand why it
• 49:54
  Speaker 2: took off fucking day, right, And what I wanted to
• 49:58
  Speaker 2: make clear was like, yes, well, I was annoyed to

• 50:03
  Speaker 2: lucky to be in the position. That's what I was
• 50:06
  Speaker 2: trying to say this apparently pissed this person up. I'm
• 50:09
  Speaker 2: fucking sorry.
