  Two to three BHK house for rent in Kanpur.
• 2:51
  So I found out I had a pain management appointment this
• 2:56
  morning. Yeah, this morning.
• 2:59
  Because where they did that back surgery on me, it made me worse.
• 3:03
  And it was just possible to see about doing injections at some
• 3:08
  point in the future. Hold.
• 3:11
  On I'm sitting there you put them motherfuckers in there for
• 3:17
  oh in the air fryer. Oh, OK, thought you put the
• 3:20
  motherfuckers in the microwave. I'm like 10 minutes in the
• 3:23
  microwave for Dino nuggies. You're an idiot, I.
• 3:27
  Love Dino nuggies. First off, that's my 15 year
• 3:33
  old. I AM 44 years old, did I buy
• 3:37
  Dino nuggies? For me.
• 4:29
  Yeah, but the, the, the, the kids ain't been in the hoose
• 4:33
  cow. They're they're 13 and under.
• 4:39
  I never forget one time whenever I was in the hoose cow this kid
• 4:45
  got this kid got cocky with me and I started fucking putting
• 4:50
  him in his place and I told him I was going to sell him.
• 4:56
  One of one of the other guys in there hollered out.
• 4:59
  I got a soup. So what the fuck are we up to
• 5:09
  tonight? Not much. the VA or my doctor.
• 5:15
  I have to go in in the morning for new injections in my spine.
• 5:22
  They hit me with I'm going to need a ride to the hospital at
• 5:25
  the very last minute. So that's fun trying to figure
• 5:27
  out they put me on a new muscle relaxer.
• 5:30
  That boy, I don't like it. Why not?
• 5:34
  Because. It just knocked me the fuck out.
• 5:37
  Dude I was eating dinner and like half drooling and fell
• 5:43
  asleep. That's a that's a normal thing
• 5:46
  for you. That's what I was thinking too.
• 5:55
  Assholes. Why are my friends assholes?
• 5:58
  I thought maybe thought maybe you were practicing to be a bull
• 6:01
  mastiff. No, I've got a great day and he
• 6:06
  drools enough for everybody, I promise.
• 6:09
  Looks like looks like he swallowed A10, swallowed a
• 6:12
  tennis shoe and the laces are hanging out.
• 6:25
  Oh, and I'm. Coming off of a sinus infection
• 6:28
  that I gave myself because, well, I'm an asshole.
• 6:40
  Hold, Hold that thought because I see the wheels turn and hold
• 6:43
  that thought. So cowboy, there's a there's a
• 6:56
  veteran that used to live down the road from me on a on a dirt
• 6:59
  Rd. that's right across from my house.
• 7:03
  Seen him in like 5 months, six months and I saw him today.
• 7:08
  He actually got into a car accident.
• 7:11
  Oh. Shit.
• 7:15
  Five, about 5 1/2 months ago. So he was pretty much stuck at
• 7:21
  his cabin until about two weeks ago.
• 7:26
  He had a Halo on for his neck, but that's the bad news.
• 7:35
  Part of it is that he got in an accident.
• 7:37
  The good news part of it? Him and his wife both have quit
• 7:41
  drinking now. That's.
• 7:44
  And they were and they and they weren't.
• 7:46
  They hadn't even been drinking when they had the accident.
• 7:53
  They tested because, Yep, the cops know him here in the county
• 7:58
  and that was the first thing they'd done when they got to the
• 8:00
  hospital is make him do a blood draw to find out if he'd been
• 8:03
  drinking or not. And he Hatton and that.
• 8:06
  Kind of. Yep.
• 8:09
  And that kind of woke him up and he said he's had one beer in
• 8:13
  five months. So it's a cowboy, to answer your
• 8:18
  question, at about 1:30 in the morning when you're, you know,
• 8:22
  half awake, eyes not really open, these bottles look a lot
• 8:26
  alike. This is nasal solution.
• 8:31
  This is don't. Ear.
• 8:33
  Fucking. Spray ear solution not for you.
• 8:43
  You know, I think you're so smart, you'd fail.
• 8:46
  You'd fail a pregnancy test. Probably.
• 8:56
  But yeah, so did. You seriously use that in your
• 8:59
  nose this morning? Not this morning like last week.
• 9:03
  That's why I've been battling the sinus infection for the past
• 9:05
  four days. Well, at least you know you
• 9:13
  don't have any ear mites or whatever.
• 9:16
  Come on, penis or in my nose, my chest or anything else?
• 9:21
  Yeah, you know it. It really sucks when those ear
• 9:23
  mics hit your. Nails.
• 9:25
  Come Yeah, damn it. Like I like I said, you're so
• 9:34
  smart for a little pregnancy test.
• 9:36
  Yeah, probably. Can we on the radio tonight?
• 9:43
  We are. I hope they enjoyed the shit out
• 9:46
  of that. Right, Some of them are probably
• 9:54
  laughing hard enough they're on the floor.
• 9:59

  I'm here all week. No, actually I came on earlier,
• 13:29
  kind of scrolled through was looking for you, see if you was,
• 13:33
  see if you was up and going yet. And then I got got off for, I
• 13:40
  don't know, probably about 15 minutes came back and there you
• 13:43
  is. Yeah, I'd normally start right
• 13:46
  at about 8:00. Last week I started later, but
• 13:51
  generally I start right at 8:00. But I really honestly I, and I'm
• 14:01
  sure y'all know this I I ain't been doing much on this fucking
• 14:06
  app. I know.
• 14:10
  It's been. Really.
• 14:11
  Honestly, I haven't been doing much on here either.
• 14:14
  What up low note? Blah blah blah.
• 14:25
  What the fuck are you looking at that one?
• 14:31
  Well, am I looking at you when I said it, dumbass?
• 14:33
  He looks like he's going to speak with me.
• 14:40
  Let's see here. So the wife just told me that
• 14:47
  I'm probably going to have to take her back to the ER
• 14:50
  tomorrow. Well, that's not.
• 14:53
  Fun. What's going on now,
• 15:07
  Larry? I said.
• 15:16
  Why for now? Oh pains come back get in at
• 15:29
  left link. I gotcha.
• 15:32
  Hell, I was. I was thinking technology got
• 15:35
  the best of Larry. With him it happens like.
• 15:42
  It happens to me too, but I've learned how to fake it.
• 15:56
  There may be some other things in the work at some point soon
• 15:58
  too. Now, like I said, technology
• 16:06
  gets the best of that fucker. Yeah, it really did.
• 16:08
  Didn't. It Yeah.
• 16:10
  It's at wish.com Wi-Fi he's got. Hell, it's not even wish.
• 16:16
  It's still Obama. Larry's still using dial up.
• 16:25
  Yeah, you're still using dial up, but you don't know where the
• 16:28
  phone is. You don't know where the disk is
• 16:30
  at. You've got mail, Yeah.
• 16:42
  I didn't even fucking give a fuck about emails or anything
• 16:46
  back then. Me neither, I still don't.
• 16:48
  I still don't care much about it.
• 16:50
  I. So I religiously checked my
• 16:52
  e-mail only because like when I was working in the like the
• 16:59
  office, while I was in the guard, everything was done by
• 17:03
  e-mail. So.
• 17:05
  I still, I can't have like emails sitting there that
• 17:08
  haven't been fucking read or deleted.
• 17:12
  That's one of the things they got rid of.
• 17:15
  What's up, bud? So what's the horse's name?
• 17:19
  Loki. Oh yeah, that's right.
• 17:22
  Fuck, my eyes are. My eyes are open.
• 17:30
  It doesn't mean I'm fucking awake.
• 17:36
  Especially since they've been keeping me and fucking working
• 17:40
  in OR as fuck. I like it though.
• 17:49
  Running your ass around, huh? Yeah, especially being
• 17:52
  especially like today. I was glad the day's my Friday,
• 17:55
  but today the guy who usually works in OR with me, he called
• 18:02
  out. So I had an idiot.
• 18:10
  And I told my supervisor if you ever put that bitch in there
• 18:13
  with me again, I'm going home. He said no big and.
• 18:25
  Then wonder why he's not there today.
• 18:33
  No, I was talking about the replacement for him that was
• 18:36
  there today. No, put me.
• 18:39
  Yeah, but I would like I said, I was really glad that today's my
• 18:46
  Friday. Yeah.
• 18:53
  Of course. Shit, I usually work harder
• 18:55
  around the house on my days off than I do at work.
• 19:00
  Another way it goes though. Yeah, You know, it's amazing how
• 19:05
  much more shit's gotten done around here since I quit coming
• 19:13
  on fucking TikTok. Yeah.
• 19:20
  Very few people that I even give a fuck to go in their lives
• 19:24
  anymore. Oh, I'm special Ed, but I'm
• 19:29
  still special. Well, at least you know what you
• 19:32
  know It's funny. Every time someone ate here
• 19:35
  lately, somebody says something about Special Ed.
• 19:41
  Motherfucker. My middle name's Edward.
• 19:48
  I wish I was joking, but I'm not.
• 19:50
  I know you've told me that before.
• 19:57
  Yeah, and then I probably told you that I've got three first
• 20:00
  names. No.
• 20:04
  My my full name is Johnny Edward Derrick.
• 20:11
  Yeah, you know what? I know your name because it
• 20:14
  popped up. You used to be on Facebook.
• 20:17
  Yeah, you just didn't know for sure and it because it doesn't
• 20:21
  say on there what my middle name is, but.
• 20:23
  Yeah, no, I wasn't sure about your middle name, but.
• 20:28
  Yeah, my my uncle spells you. Do have three first names?
• 20:32
  And my my daddy is Raymond Edward Derrick.
• 20:40
  My grandfather even had three first names with Earl, Raymond,
• 20:44
  Derrick, pretty much all my uncles who that.
• 20:53
  It's kind of hard to be a man and not have three first names
• 20:56
  whenever your last name is also a first name.
• 20:59
  Yeah, I don't have that issue. I'm a ham.
• 21:08
  Yeah, you are a little porky. Yeah.
• 21:12
  I'm aware but that, but that but that's.
• 21:15
  All right, my girl likes it. Well, you know, some some people
• 21:21
  like small favors. Oh my God, I'm going to tell her
• 21:31
  you said that too. Yeah, tell her.
• 21:35
  Tell her cowboy herd it's not only little and short too.
• 21:42
  It needs it needs to grow up to be a Tic Tac.
• 21:48
  But damn baby, you got fresh breath.
• 21:56
  Jesus, did you figure out technology?
• 22:00
  I had to reset my router. Yeah, OK.
• 22:04
  So he he figured out technology. Yeah.
• 22:09
  Oh, we got storms coming through so.
• 22:12
  Us too. That sounds like a.
• 22:15
  Listen if if. We'll call that a.
• 22:17
  We'll call that a viable excuse. I'm going to say this to
• 22:20
  everybody. If everything gets shut off out
• 22:22
  of nowhere, we are in a tornado warning still, so we've been in
• 22:26
  one all goddamn day. What state are you in besides
• 22:31
  the state of confusion? Missouri.
• 22:35
  Misery. Hey, Emo.
• 22:41
  Shit, there goes the neighborhood.
• 22:44
  Yep. Oh, in case y'all can't tell,
• 22:57
  nobody's safe around me. I'm I'm in the mood to pick on
• 23:00
  anybody and everybody. Love you too, cowboy.
• 23:10
  Mine's pretty we're #1. Thank you for the roses, Larry.
• 23:15
  See, Larry loves me. That's just a ploy.
• 23:23
  He said love is a very loose term.
• 23:28
  How are you guys doing? Hey Braddy doing.
• 23:30
  Great. Hey, Braddy.
• 23:33
  Hey Braddy, I. Went to the VA today.
• 23:38
  I'm sorry. I know, me too.
• 23:42
  Hey, you said Larry loves you, so don't even fucking go there.
• 23:51
  Got her. We will go live once this is all
• 23:58
  done and I will give you the corgi dance.
• 24:03
  I thought you were going to say we'll go live and I'll show you
• 24:05
  my boobies. No, no, no.
• 27:32
  King I'd be all for it, but it's a lot of walking to get it like
• 27:36
  into the park and all that stuff.
• 27:39
  Hey, Mandy. Hi, Mandy.
• 27:44
  Hi, Mandy. That's another veteran.
• 27:54
  Welcome to shit show. I thought so.
• 27:58
  We're friends. I I had a friend once.
• 28:04
  And a Reaper. You have friends?
• 28:07
  No. Hi Reaper.
• 28:12
  He he has acquaintances. Well, he said he had a friend
• 28:16
  once. I had I did have a friend once
• 28:19
  and then I then they realized that I really am an asshole.
• 28:23
  That sounds about right, yeah. Those are the best of friends
• 28:27
  them. I.
• 28:29
  Actually, I actually got kicked out of a box the other night.
• 28:32
  You wait. Wait, what?
• 28:34
  You. I don't even want to know.
• 28:36
  I don't. Even want to know I.
• 28:38
  Don't want to know that we all put up with like.
• 28:40
  I'm curious what you did to get kicked out of a box.
• 28:43
  I said I only only thing I did was I said Pornhub and doctor
• 28:55
  cat kicked me out. Because that can get her banned.
• 29:00
  Yeah, that, no, that can get me banned.
• 29:03
  It falls onto the live. List it goes on to the host.
• 29:08
  Emo found out. We found out together because
• 29:12
  Emo said a word, then I. Then I probably shouldn't be
• 29:18
  loud in the box because I'm going to say whatever the fuck I
• 29:21
  feel anyway. I mean.
• 29:25
  As in reason within reason. No, he.
• 29:29
  Listen that man. Doesn't understand reason.
• 29:31
  If he thinks that in his brain that's going to come out of his
• 29:33
  mouth just like me. The difference is he gives no
• 29:36
  fucks. I mean, I'm down for it, trust
• 29:39
  me, but I mean only because of the TikTok, you know?
• 29:44
  No, like he doesn't care. Shutting it down.
• 29:51
  Oh cowboy, where'd you go? We hurt his feelings.
• 29:54
  He's crying in the in the bathroom.
• 29:59
  Nobody puts baby in the corner but.
• 30:03
  Somebody will put. Cowboy at school.
• 30:04
  It's my corner and I'll take all the.
• 30:06
  Money that it gives. Me, I was waiting.
• 30:09
  I was waiting. Oh, that's too funny.
• 30:17
  And Sarge, before you start calling me baby, maybe we should
• 30:19
  have a private conversation. Hey, wait a minute.
• 30:26
  Only on Thursdays, bud. Well just go on a ship, it's not
• 30:31
  gay if it's underway. The 5th Thursday of the 13th
• 30:36
  month. 5th Thursday the 13th month got you.
• 30:40
  Yeah, let me put it on my calendar.
• 30:44
  Reaper's like ye. Ye, oh man.
• 30:57
  What's up, bratty? Huh.
• 31:03
  I said what's up? Oh no, I was laughing.
• 31:06
  My old man was. Oh gosh.
• 31:08
  What's your boss? It's.
• 31:10
  Very Minnesota of me, I guess, to say that.
• 31:14
  See, so listen, I would, I would trust Oz in a box more than I
• 31:17
  would trust Cowboy in a box, which is saying something.
• 31:23
  Well, it depends on what box we're talking about there,
• 31:25
  darlin. Oh Lord.
• 31:27
  Jesus, boxes I I can't with you guys.
• 31:33
  Braddy. I'm so glad that I'm not the
• 31:34
  only girl on here. Trust me, me too me.
• 31:38
  Too doing good on. Yeah, but the deal is, yes, I
• 31:48
  know Braddy, but Braddy and I don't have the relationship that
• 31:53
  you and I have, Emo. That's fair, That's fair.
• 31:57
  I haven't known you as long tumbling.
• 31:59
  Oh, he. Where's that?
• 32:03
  Cowboy's the nicest asshole you're ever going to meet.
• 32:07
  I zimble that remark. OK.
• 32:13
  Hey, you made single, Ozzy wrote.
• 32:17
  Yeah, I can't be stressing the box.
• 32:18
  He's going to be watching this speculator.
• 32:19
  Listen. But that's why I love you,
• 32:22
  right? Like you.
• 32:24
  You help me be more like, I don't know you're.
• 32:28
  Yeah, Brain stopped working. That's nothing new makes.
• 32:38
  Sense it kind of is. Well, no, it's not.
• 32:40
  OK. Fair.
• 32:45
  I mean, come on emo, but there there has been times that
• 32:49
  between your ears invented space.
• 32:52
  Oh. My goodness, Alta.
• 33:01
  Jeez, come what? Oh, I'm not even started yet,
• 33:06
  Braddy. Oh no, trust me, this is this is
• 33:09
  nice Cowboy. This is how we are giving your
• 33:12
  team. Hi wise man Rivers.
• 33:16
  This is Cowboy behaving himself like it gets to the point where
• 33:22
  like me and Cowboy all get on to each other, where people think
• 33:25
  we're actually fighting and then we just end up.
• 33:28
  And we only do that so we can make up later.
• 33:32
  Yeah, that's fair. The best part about fighting is
• 33:40
  making up. Why do you think I, why do you
• 33:43
  think I talk so much? Makes everybody mad at me so
• 33:44
  that I can be like, can we make up now?
• 33:48
  It's like the best part of waking up is not giving a fuck.
• 33:55
  Not me trying to do the Folgers thing, OK?
• 34:02
  My coffee maker broke. I've been having to use my
• 34:04
  prints back. I don't do coffee anymore.
• 34:11
  Brady. What?
• 34:15
  Did you just really just say that you don't do coffee
• 34:22
  anymore? What was it like doing coffee?
• 34:26
  I'm curious I. Do every now and then.
• 34:28
  I I don't do liquids normally the person that I'm doing is a
• 34:31
  solid, so what's it like doing a liquid?
• 34:40
  I do coffee every now and then, but summertime I'm straight
• 34:45
  actually. Coffee can be actually coffee
• 34:48
  can be mixed with that, and that's rather fun.
• 34:50
  But anyway. You got 18 plus on.
• 34:57
  Yes, I do. Then that.
• 35:01
  Probably should have filtered. Probably should have put 21
• 35:04
  plus. But no, when I was going to come
• 35:06
  in a box, yeah. I mean, listen.
• 35:08
  I don't know how to set it to 21 and above on I can.
• 35:10
  Only do 18 and above. Listen, I walked in and Cowboy
• 35:13
  goes, well, there goes the neighborhood and like, Yep, Yep.
• 35:18
  Somebody's comment just got filtered.
• 35:21
  Yeah, I see that. Who, wise man, what did you say?
• 35:24
  It's probably Oz. Maybe I don't know any of these.
• 35:36
  People so. No, it's OK.
• 35:38
  I know all of these people. Why wise?
• 35:41
  Man, I told you it was Oz. What?
• 35:46
  OK, Oz, I need you to come in a box so you can tell us the
• 35:49
  comment that you said that got filtered.
• 35:54
  Listen, and here's the thing. So I won't even be in the whole
• 35:57
  box. If somebody else comes in,
• 35:59
  Braddy's going to be in the whole box because Larry's going
• 36:01
  to go up on top and then I'm going to go where Larry is and
• 36:03
  Braddy's going to be in the whole box.
• 36:05
  And then we can all poker. It'll be fun.
• 36:06
  I don't. Know what that means, but sure.
• 36:12
  No. So if anybody's going to be
• 36:16
  poking. Hey, I take hey.
• 36:25
  So wise man Rivers is a veteran. I spoke to him today along with
• 36:31
  Can Dude. Yes I I know can dude.
• 36:35
  Wise man, Wise man for a while. I I did he wise man today, but
• 36:39
  he seems pretty cool. I've known Can dude for a bit.
• 36:45
  Wise man is in a lot of times. He's in Vet Nation cards live of
• 36:50
  a morning. Which is weird because that's
• 36:53
  not How I Met him. I met him, he was in his own
• 36:55
  life. And I jumped in and we started
• 36:56
  talking about like card. Well, that's that's how that's
• 36:59
  how me and wise met each other was with in Will's life.
• 37:05
  I'm. Going to make you a profile
• 37:08
  picture. That's a cowboy hat with a
• 37:10
  warning label. Not it it, it's kind of kind of
• 37:19
  there anyway, because the shirt there, that's the sharp look.
• 37:29
  At it I'm talking it's going to be like bright yellow like bam
• 37:32
  like warning like you I but the. Work.
• 38:11
  But the shirt that I wore today definitely fit me.
• 38:16
  It's got Snoopy and Woodstock and it says not today.
• 38:25
  I have a Woodstock tattoo. Oh cool cool, but yes definitely
• 38:31
  the part where it says not today.
• 38:34
  That fit me well. Yeah.
• 38:40
  I told I told the the girl that I was working with today that
• 38:44
  that if she would, if she if her if her IQ went up about 20
• 38:48
  points, she'd be as smart as a box of rocks.
• 38:59
  I bet your managers love meeting with you and stuff like that
• 39:03
  happens. Oh, I told him.
• 39:06
  I told my supervisor what I said.
• 39:08
  I said, so you're probably going to get a report that I'm that
• 39:12
  Johnny's being mean. And he goes, yeah, so he was
• 39:16
  telling the truth. Them boom boom boom.
• 39:35
  Sorry, sorry. No, sorry.
• 39:39
  We can tell that you guys are texting each other.
• 39:42
  Just save it for after, OK? Emo emo was in in alive the
• 39:47
  first time that I looked at someone and said I bet your
• 39:50
  daddy slapped the shit out of your Mama for not swallowing.
• 39:56
  Wow, that's how you work for. Bro.
• 40:01
  George is up there. Going Damn it cowboy, why'd I
• 40:03
  let you in a box? He thinks that every time he
• 40:08
  does. Yeah, I mean, me too.
• 40:10
  And then he does it again. Hey, that's six.
• 40:13
  How are you? I gotta talk to you later.
• 40:18
  I saw something that said that if you have like orthotics or
• 40:26
  like any kind of equipment through the VA that you get
• 40:45
  maybe. Who?
• 40:46
  Bless. The.
• 40:48
  Man. I've slept since yesterday, I'm
• 40:53
  sorry. No 22 last night.
• 40:58
  Oh no. Yeah, I've.
• 41:01
  I've sent lives with that man for a while.
• 41:04
  Just you're going to see some stuff and just I'm.
• 41:09
  Hey, do you? I'm OK, do you?
• 41:12
  Want me to send you my number? I have your number.
• 41:15
  OK. Do you need me to leave?
• 41:17
  So I'm OK? I'll meet.
• 41:18
  Are you sure? No, I'm good.
• 41:20
  OK, OK. I didn't know him as like well.
• 41:24
  It doesn't matter. Heads up, just there's going to
• 41:26
  be a lot of shit and you have people who I've already seen
• 41:31
  people who've never spent a day in the live or talking with that
• 41:35
  man, like trying to get the clout.
• 41:37
  Well, and somebody just also posted on disgruntled veterans
• 41:42
  Rep page, web page that someone else did that today.
• 41:46
  We lost. I want to say it's a Sergeant
• 41:51
  private or SCTF correct or something I don't know.
• 41:54
  It's fine. Yeah.
• 41:56
  Didn't want to come in and like bring it down but fuck that.
• 42:00
  No, I listen. That's what it's.
• 42:02
  What the fuck? Are we doing?
• 42:05
  That that's what this is here for.
• 42:08
  Like what the fuck? It's shit like that that makes
• 42:11
  me want to reach out to every veteran that has an issue with
• 42:14
  every other veteran and like hit them in the head for the brick.
• 42:17
  Oh the fucking drama in the community again.
• 42:21
  And that's what we're trying not to make here.
• 42:24
  Whatever, I I hear you, but fucking shit.
• 42:30
  Hang away stars. What's up?
• 42:32
  How are you, Sir? Not much how you been, I mean,
• 42:36
  other than that obviously. Well, I started this, you know
• 42:40
  what I mean? So that way, get away from the
• 42:43
  drama and the bullshit and fucking reach out to each other
• 42:46
  like we should be doing, you know what I mean?
• 42:49
  I I can't reach out and touch you because Braddy's in the way,
• 42:52
  but Braddy. That's fine, I get it.
• 42:54
  I, I, it's, I think I've learned that it doesn't matter what you
• 43:00
  do. Yeah.
• 43:04
  Fuck. Come here, come here, come here,
• 43:19
  come here, come here. Why are you looking at me like
• 43:25
  that bro? In the mood.
• 43:28
  Oh, you're in the mood, bro. Yeah, Cowboy, are you OK and.
• 43:35
  I forgot I should have known my audience and I apologize.
• 43:38
  No, no, no, no, no, no. You're OK, cowboy.
• 43:46
  Are you sure? Do you want me to head over to
• 43:50
  snap and do the the? No.
• 43:54
  Corgi dance, you said you owe. Him.
• 43:56
  Yeah, the corgi dance. No.
• 44:00
  And. No, I'm I'm fixing to get real
• 44:05
  fucking serious. At times times call for serious
• 44:11
  men and women. Sorry man, I didn't mean to go
• 44:14
  on that one. And I, and I hope and I and I
• 44:17
  fucking hope. I hope there's people listening
• 44:20
  and I hope there's people paying attention.
• 44:26
  Everyone knows why the why this why this subject hits me so
• 44:31
  fucking hard. Yeah.
• 44:37
  And if if I brought up something bro.
• 44:40
  No, no, no, no. You brought you, you, you
• 44:43
  brought, you brought me. You brought me down to where it
• 44:49
  it took. It takes me a second to to
• 44:52
  process whenever I hear something like that, and then
• 44:56
  I'm OK. But everyone knows and it's
• 45:01
  because of the one, right? Oh, I can't reach all that far,
• 45:08
  right? Way over.
• 45:11
  There in that picture that is folks, for those of y'all that
• 45:19
  don't know, that was my, that was my son.
• 45:23
  Still is in my heart, but that was my son.
• 45:27
  Absolutely. That less than a little bit less
• 45:30
  than six months after he departed from the service, he
• 45:34
  became one of the fucking 22 a day.
• 45:37
  And it's so sad that the the 22 veterans a day is just a fucking
• 45:45
  symbol now because the number is more like 60 and above.
• 45:51
  Yeah, no, it is a day. Did you see the interview with
• 45:56
  the director from the VA about how much money they invested?
• 46:01
  Because they're react, they're purely reactionary.
• 46:06
  It's what was it, 5.5? No, it's like it.
• 46:13
  Was like 5. It was like $5.5 million was
• 46:17
  invested and it's as prevalent as it was now as it is back
• 46:22
  then. What the fuck are we doing it?
• 46:24
  Would be, it would, but I'm going to say this and I, and I
• 46:27
  want people to understand this. It would be so much worse if we
• 46:33
  didn't have like the suicide prevention teams and stuff like
• 46:36
  that at the VA's and everything like that.
• 46:39
  If we didn't have them, the numbers would probably be in the
• 46:43
  fucking hundreds. Yeah, I mean once I I need to
• 46:46
  change over. Everyone likes to do their push
• 46:52
  ups, their videos with their push ups.
• 46:55
  They like to do their videos where they're just just talking
• 47:02
  about it and wrong to raise awareness and everything.
• 47:05
  And, and everyone has this attitude of, oh, if you need me,
• 47:10
  reach out to me. No motherfucker, people need to
• 47:14
  fucking listen and pay attention.
• 47:18
  I know this from whenever I attempted it my fucking self
• 47:23
  three years ago. If I need.
• 47:29
  Someone. If I need someone, I'm not going
• 47:34
  to reach out to someone. It's going to take someone
• 47:38
  bringing trying to connect with me just like with anybody else.
• 47:47
  That is one of the best men at reaching out.
• 47:50
  I tried. You do.
• 47:53
  Does, I mean, does he do it all the time?
• 47:55
  No. But none, none of us do because
• 47:57
  life gets in the fucking way. It's called.
• 48:00
  It's called. We have lives.
• 48:02
  We have to live. We have families.
• 48:05
  We have, we have, we have responsibilities.
• 48:10
  I try to reach out to people. That's one.
• 48:13
  That's one reason why I do my my my daily motivation.
• 48:17
  I love your daily motivation snaps by the way, and.
• 48:21
  If I and there's one day that I don't get a cowboy, I'm coming
• 48:25
  looking for you. Oh.
• 48:28
  You better pick me up on the way.
• 48:29
  There's been several ways several days here lately that
• 48:33
  nobody got them because I I didn't do it for almost 2 weeks.
• 48:38
  I barely check snap bro. But.
• 48:46
  And the sad part is whenever people say, hey, if you need me,
• 48:50
  reach out to me. Most of the time people don't
• 48:54
  really want you to reach out to them.
• 48:55
  Whenever they say that, they say that to get the monkey off off
• 48:59
  their back. Hey, hey now.
• 49:02
  Now you know. I said.
• 49:04
  I said most of the time. I know I'm.
• 49:07
  I'm just. We need to stop doing fucking
• 49:12
  lip services. That's what it is at a certain
• 49:18
  point, because there was a young man down the road.
• 49:21
  He's an Air Force guy, 23 years old, right?
• 49:28
  It's grandstanding. It's what do they call it?
• 49:34
  God Dang it. I can't think of the phrase if.
• 49:36
  You're talking about on TikTok. It's looking for clout.
• 49:43
  Virtue signaling right? And the VA can only do so much
• 49:52
  right? I still do not understand why
• 49:58
  they're completely reactive resource.
• 50:02
  I I just all that money for what?
• 50:05
  Because the people that work at the VA, most of the people work
• 50:08
  there for money. I know a couple of people that
• 50:11
  actually work in the VA and actually care.
• 50:14
  But I, I know of three people in the past six months that have
• 50:17
  quit the VA because they couldn't handle the stress of
• 50:20
  it, because they didn't have the support that they needed at work
• 50:24
  with other VA employees and they couldn't handle it.
• 50:29
  That's my opinion. Well, I mean, I'm with you, but
• 50:33
  it doesn't excuse that kind of money.
• 50:38
  No, I. I mean, I'm not blaming you, no.
• 50:40
  No, no, no, I understand. But we all know people who work
• 50:44
  at the VA, we all know, I know people who work at VHAI know, we
• 50:47
  all know people that work at VHB.
• 50:49
  We all know people who actually work in the hospitals and all
• 50:52
  that crap. And it's like, I'm why is it?
• 50:56
  Yeah. And it's at the point where why
• 51:00
  is that rate as high? And we haven't been to war,
• 51:09
  Yeah, you know, especially amongst the active duty army.
• 51:14
  Components. Like what the fuck?
• 51:19
  I'm getting get in here meals. I have talked to just a bit, you
• 51:28
  know, people who go like Troy, all them people go to Congress.
• 51:34
  And it's like, OK, I understand green therapy.
• 51:38
  I I understand this. But unfortunately, fuck that
• 51:41
  shit. Can we please stop the bleeding?
• 51:44
  Yeah. There's no reason.
• 51:46
  Because you're a veteran, I'm going to tell you from my
• 51:50
  experience, vet, I've found that a lot of the local veterans
• 51:56
  organizations in the throughout the different cities and states
• 52:00
  are able to do a lot and reach people a lot easier, sometimes
• 52:05
  unfortunately, than the VA is. I I get that.
• 52:11
  But what it what I don't understand is the active duty
• 52:16
  component side. Yeah, no, it goes up every year.
• 52:22
  Yeah. So I will I'll tell you a story
• 52:26
  and it it has nothing to do with anybody with 22.
• 52:30
  But as far as like the active duty side, I have a lot of
• 52:33
  friends who are still active and one of my friend's husbands is
• 52:39
  he does something as far as like fixing boats, right?
• 52:43
  And he had to trail put a boat on a trailer and drive it from
• 52:47
  one side of the base to the other.
• 52:50
  The boat scratched against a tree limb, right?
• 52:54
  Not a big deal. It happens.
• 52:56
  No big deal. He went to C OS mask over it and
• 53:00
  got busted down over a fucking tree Lin.
• 53:04
  Over a scratch. Yeah, over a scratch on a ship,
• 53:07
  on a tree. Lin That kind of shit is what's
• 53:10
  going on with the active duty components.
• 53:15
  Well, then you got to think too. The the divorce rate and
• 53:18
  everything else throughout active duty skyrocketed over the
• 53:21
  past 20 years. Yeah, insanely skyrocketed.
• 53:26
  I have an. Opinion on that?
• 53:28
  That's a divorce. Go ahead cowboy.
• 53:30
  I'm sorry bro. Whenever and I'm sorry, I'm
• 53:36
  going to put this mainly on the men in the military.
• 53:41
  Whenever men quit being allowed to be men in the military
• 53:48
  whenever and, you know, everyone talks about how the Suez, the,
• 53:56
  the, the, you know, that word rate is so much higher and
• 54:03
  everything like that now than it ever was.
• 54:09
  Yeah, it is because everyone's allowed to wear their feelings
• 54:15
  on their sleeves now. Everyone's allowed to go.
• 54:21
  Oh, you hurt my feelings now. Because.
• 54:33
  I also don't agree with you, cowboy.
• 54:35
  I'm sorry. I think that talking about our
• 54:38
  feelings is better than bottling them up and hiding them.
• 54:43
  That's me personally. But you also have to think, and
• 54:46
  this, this is from my perspective as someone who was
• 54:49
  active duty and had kids in the military, It's really, really
• 54:53
  hard for a woman to have kids and still be in the military
• 54:58
  because you're basically told that you're never doing it
• 55:00
  right. Oh, you're not spending enough
• 55:02
  time with your kids. Oh, you're not devoted enough to
• 55:04
  your job. Oh, you're not like if you're
• 55:06
  married, Oh, you're not giving enough time to your husband.
• 55:08
  So I feel like every, every person, every woman, every man,
• 55:14
  Oh, we can't be men in the military anymore.
• 55:16
  And oh, we can't be women in the military anymore.
• 55:18
  I, I think that that's a cop out and that's just me.
• 55:22
  In my opinion, and probably you know, I, I freaking love you and
• 55:25
  I'm having a hard time finding the correct words.
• 55:28
  OK, OK, listen, I'm not. Having a hard time finding the
• 55:30
  right words. But what I'm saying is let's
• 55:33
  look at the numbers. The.
• 55:35
  Numbers are higher now than they.
• 55:38
  Ever. Been.
• 55:39
  OK, but that's also because we don't really have camaraderie
• 55:44
  anymore. I think it's resiliency.
• 55:47
  So are we talking about our duty alone?
• 55:49
  Are we talking? About overall better no more.
• 55:51
  Camaraderie, like I grew up with my dad in the Navy, and I saw
• 55:56
  how much they pulled together, how much they loved each other,
• 55:59
  what it was to be an E7 or a chief in the Navy and how he
• 56:03
  supported his younger sailors. And I joined the Navy thinking,
• 56:07
  wow, OK, cool. That's what I want to do.
• 56:09
  I want to make chief and senior chief and Master Chief.
• 56:12
  And I want to be able to like build those bonds and like so
• 56:15
  OK, so story. So I made E4 coming out of a
• 56:18
  school, right? And I got to the ship and I was
• 56:20
  like, if I'm going to be an E4, I should start carrying E4
• 56:24
  responsibilities. I should start, you know,
• 56:26
  holding myself a little bit higher and knowing that I'm
• 56:28
  going to get promoted trying to do these things.
• 56:30
  You know what happened to me? I got told that I was trying to
• 56:34
  act above my pay grade. So instead of instead of saying,
• 56:38
  oh, hey, you're taking on more responsibilities.
• 56:41
  No, they, and it's, it's like this in the public, in the
• 56:45
  civilian world too, I've noticed is you have your worker that
• 56:49
  works hard and does more responsibilities than they
• 56:53
  should. And so one or two things
• 56:55
  happens. You either give them more
• 56:56
  responsibilities and you let them pick up the slack from the
• 57:00
  people that aren't doing shit or and then they get burnt out or
• 57:05
  you don't let them lead and they get tired and they're like, well
• 57:09
  fuck you if you're not going to let me do my job.
• 57:11
  Like I was watching Zootopia the other day and he said it best.
• 57:16
  He's like, if all you're ever going to see is a sly, you know,
• 57:20
  shifty, untrustworthy fox, what is the point in trying to be
• 57:24
  anything else? I.
• 57:27
  Think go ahead, I'm. I I don't mean to kick shock.
• 57:31
  No, you're fine. I think resiliency is key.
• 57:34
  I think, and this is coming from, you know, I'm a, I'm a
• 57:39
  man's man and I was a combat MOS in the Army, right?
• 57:43
  And then you're told, oh, that's just, there's no section against
• 57:47
  toxic messaging. They're just toxic people.
• 57:50
  However, what I think we're trying to figure something out
• 57:56
  is that something we can never figure out.
• 58:00
  You know, it, it gets back to we, we want to fix it, but it's
• 58:06
  section individual I think. So I'm not as well a handful of
• 58:09
  pills like I don't know. Can I say something?
• 58:30
  Think it's just a societal thing and I'm tired.
• 58:37
  I mean I'm huge on and what I thought I was picking up what
• 58:42
  Cowboy was saying and trust me, I am a woman's woman.
• 58:47
  Also, being a veteran and also being an Army brat my entire
• 58:50
  life, I, I also think though, that men's mental health is not
• 58:56
  a priority priority like it should be.
• 59:00
  And, you know, maybe I missed that when you guys were talking
• 59:02
  about it when I had to, I was talking to my oldest, you know,
• 59:05
  I had to leave. That's why.
• 59:09
  But I mean, I grew up an Army brat from, from being, I mean,
• 59:17
  the age of three, my dad was active duty and watching him go
• 59:22
  through a bunch of shit and being deployed and, and him
• 59:26
  being on duty my entire life, it was, it was hard and it was
• 59:32
  rough. And like that, and I hate to say
• 59:35
  this to you, my mom, my mom is not military at all, but she's
• 59:41
  been with my dad since they were 14 years old and they're about
• 59:44
  to be 49 this year. And that has taken so much of A
• 59:47
  toll on her life. And Joe, I am going to say it.
• 59:52
  I know you're I can see it in your face, but I'm going to say
• 59:55
  it. My mom tried to take her own
• 59:58
  life this last week. And that is not something that
• 1:00:02
  my mom has ever done in my entire life.
• 1:00:05
  She is the epitome of has kept it all together forever and.
• 1:00:16
  She had gotten to the point of having to go through so much
• 1:00:21
  shit. And now, mind you, as a teenager
• 1:00:24
  and my little sister as a teenager too, we put her through
• 1:00:27
  some shit and but I, I had to go there this last Sunday.
• 1:00:34
  Not not this Sunday, but the Sunday prior to my dad calling
• 1:00:39
  me crying saying your mom took a bunch of pills and I don't know
• 1:00:44
  what to do with her. And that's not something that my
• 1:00:49
  mom would ever do. She, she is literally the
• 1:00:52
  epitome of a yes man. The happiness covers it all up,
• 1:00:56
  has gone through so fucking much.
• 1:00:58
  And I had to sit there with her and, and hear some bullshit
• 1:01:04
  because she was, she had taken way too many pills and done way
• 1:01:10
  too many things and, and, and that's just not her.
• 1:01:13
  And I had to call 911 and the ambulance had to come and the,
• 1:01:16
  the police had to come. And it was nothing that I ever
• 1:01:20
  thought that my mother would do. And, you know, I watched my dad
• 1:01:25
  this big fucking who is will forever be my hero.
• 1:01:29
  My, he's my dad. And he's also a veteran, he's a
• 1:01:35
  combat veteran, he's OIFOEF and he's, I watched that man cry,
• 1:01:42
  'cause he did not know what to do.
• 1:01:45
  And I came there, I came from work.
• 1:01:47
  I left work early. I left my kids here with my
• 1:01:49
  grandmother. And I speed there.
• 1:01:52
  And not only do I have to watch my mother who did not get any
• 1:01:57
  help with anything, having to go through all of this.
• 1:02:01
  You know, we have FRG groups and, and you know, the military
• 1:02:06
  has fucking. Oh, we help with spouses too,
• 1:02:08
  but they really don't unless you live near an ACT duty post.
• 1:02:12
  But then hear me out for veterans too, even dudes who are
• 1:02:15
  I mean men or women when they are in the military and they
• 1:02:20
  come home and, and they are suffering and they are hurting
• 1:02:27
  or not giving them enough help. And, and my dad who has is the
• 1:02:32
  epitome of literal fucking. I'm going to keep it all in and
• 1:02:35
  not say anything. That man fucking cried in front
• 1:02:39
  of me. And I and I watching my dad cry
• 1:02:43
  made me fucking bawl my fucking eyes out watching my mom get
• 1:02:49
  pulled away in a stretcher and then her having to go to the
• 1:02:54
  hospital and get her fucking stomach pumped.
• 1:02:56
  And them not telling me anything them not telling my dad
• 1:03:00
  anything. It was just it was the most
• 1:03:04
  heart wrenching thing that I ever really had to go through.
• 1:03:07
  And we do not. But on on top of this.
• 1:03:12
  But now mind you, my dad is PTSD 2 and he gets help and, and is
• 1:03:17
  goes to the VA and gets he's medicated.
• 1:03:20
  But there's no real follow up with men's health mostly.
• 1:03:33
  And no, mind you, veterans, I mean they're mostly male, but I
• 1:03:37
  mean in general, just men's health in general and everyone
• 1:03:42
  else and the family and everything else.
• 1:03:45
  It's just the system fails everyone so incredibly much that
• 1:03:52
  it's makes me so fucking sad. And as a veteran myself and even
• 1:04:01
  as a woman, obviously we are e-mail, you know this.
• 1:04:04
  We are the bottom of the totem pole.
• 1:04:08
  As veterans, we are the bottom of the totem pole.
• 1:04:12
  Wheels is female. As well.
• 1:04:18
  Sorry, what did you say? Wheels is also a woman veteran.
• 1:04:21
  She's no I wheels. I know we're, yeah, she muted
• 1:04:25
  herself, so I wasn't sure if she was listening our way, but we,
• 1:04:32
  we are the bottom of the children pool.
• 1:04:34
  But at the same time, I think it's just as veterans alone, we
• 1:04:41
  all need more help than while we're receiving.
• 1:04:47
  And there's, there's a big catch 22 where it comes to like women
• 1:04:51
  versus men veterans, right? So like all of the female
• 1:04:55
  veterans joke that when you go into the VA you have to wear
• 1:04:59
  your veteran shit or also think that it's your husband, right?
• 1:05:02
  Who's your sponsor? Yeah, right.
• 1:05:04
  Like, who are you here with? Literally.
• 1:05:08
  It literally happened to me today when I went to my
• 1:05:11
  orthopedic appointment. They were like Murphy.
• 1:05:13
  And so I stood up. Where's your husband?
• 1:05:18
  I'm the veteran. Oh.
• 1:05:21
  OK, literally happened today. But at the same time, women are
• 1:05:29
  given more of a leeway for being emotional and they think that
• 1:05:35
  because we're emotional, it affects our mental health more.
• 1:05:38
  And because men don't feel safe showing their emotions that they
• 1:05:43
  don't need mental health, health well.
• 1:05:46
  It gets back to resiliency and. It's bullshit.
• 1:05:49
  I. Mean.
• 1:05:53
  I can say this, there is no resiliency left in the military.
• 1:05:58
  It's not like it was when we were in to begin with back in
• 1:06:02
  the 80s and 90s and early 2000s. Because kids signing up now,
• 1:06:10
  going in, the first thing they get when they get off their
• 1:06:13
  little bus at boot camp is a stress card, my cousin.
• 1:06:19
  And if a dream target yells at them, they they can get never.
• 1:06:23
  Grill started. That.
• 1:06:24
  Card. My cousin called me from basic
• 1:06:28
  training right when he was in and he went in in 2010 or 2011
• 1:06:36
  and he goes hey did you guys have stress cards?
• 1:06:41
  I'm like, what the fuck is a stress card?
• 1:06:43
  He's like the card the drill Sergeant gave me.
• 1:06:45
  So if they're being too hard on us, we can give it to them and
• 1:06:48
  they have to lay off of us for a while.
• 1:06:50
  I'm like what? The what?
• 1:06:52
  Yeah. Yeah, what the fuck is that?
• 1:06:56
  They're allowed cell phones now. They're allowed TV now.
• 1:07:00
  OK, that's some bullshit. So I went through BASIC and AIT.
• 1:07:05
  I went there the late entry program, but I went out for duty
• 1:07:08
  for Army, obviously. Yeah, so I went through 'cause I
• 1:07:14
  originally signed up as National Guard and changed at the last
• 1:07:18
  minute to act OK, right. I had one MOS that I lost 'cause
• 1:07:23
  I got some, got into some criminal trouble and lost that
• 1:07:27
  MOS and ended up with being a fucking fueller.
• 1:07:31
  OK. But when I went through basic,
• 1:07:37
  an IIT at Fort Jackson, there was no such fucking thing as a
• 1:07:42
  stress card. So same for me, so do you.
• 1:07:44
  Want to know where that comes from?
• 1:07:47
  Where that comes from? It's the blue card the Navy did
• 1:07:51
  back in the day. It was an experiment.
• 1:07:53
  When did they do that? In the 90s, they said.
• 1:07:57
  Hold on. Yeah, every.
• 1:08:00
  United States Navy Blues Card A short term experiment by the
• 1:08:03
  United States Navy to inform your crews about available
• 1:08:05
  mental health resources. Now they can have their phones,
• 1:08:10
  but only in the last couple weeks.
• 1:08:14
  See I went in an O 6 and I wasn't allowed to have my phone.
• 1:08:18
  So I OK. Well, they for not anymore.
• 1:08:23
  Not not anymore. I I've got I've got a cousin
• 1:08:29
  that his son just started his basic training two weeks ago.
• 1:08:35
  He still has his phone in the barracks as long as they're not
• 1:08:40
  on the firing line or doing training if they want.
• 1:08:43
  To. Take and be.
• 1:08:46
  On. Their that's awesome.
• 1:08:48
  I'm clearly the youngest veteran in here, right?
• 1:08:51
  So. Obviously.
• 1:08:53
  I went June in 2011, and when I got to Fort Jackson, well,
• 1:08:59
  actually I had a cell phone that was.
• 1:09:02
  Maybe a little younger than me, I'm not sure.
• 1:09:05
  But what I'm oh, meals, Are you there?
• 1:09:12
  I don't know. She has her cell phone meal.
• 1:09:15
  Yeah. But when I went, I mean, I
• 1:09:18
  remember getting to reception and being dropped off at our
• 1:09:22
  unit and being screamed at to get off this, this fucking bus.
• 1:09:26
  Obviously, I didn't even bring my cell phone, which a cell
• 1:09:29
  phone at that time was like, you know, we didn't really have the
• 1:09:32
  smartphone thing yet, so I didn't even bring mine.
• 1:09:37
  And I had just gotten it a year prior to that.
• 1:09:39
  But my parents made a year because I got a driver's license
• 1:09:42
  that was under their insurance and drove one of their cars.
• 1:09:45
  You know me. Yeah.
• 1:09:46
  But I remember screaming at my dad.
• 1:09:49
  With. Pulling all my shit out, you
• 1:09:52
  know, in front when I got to my duty station or when I got to to
• 1:09:58
  basic and then screaming that fucking address at me to call my
• 1:10:05
  dad and say hey, this is my address, K bye, you know?
• 1:10:11
  We didn't. We didn't get a phone call at
• 1:10:13
  first. We said you have 30 seconds to
• 1:10:15
  write whatever you want on a paper.
• 1:10:17
  You're here. You're safe.
• 1:10:19
  OK, We're mailing your belongings back.
• 1:10:21
  Meals. Go ahead.
• 1:10:23
  So they do not get their phones. They don't get their phones
• 1:10:27
  until like right before you graduate.
• 1:10:30
  It's every single branch. They no phones it.
• 1:10:34
  It's it did not trade. There's an AIT thing to knows.
• 1:10:38
  So, OK, so hear me out. I'm talking about basic.
• 1:10:41
  And again, I went in 2011 and the only time we got our cell
• 1:10:46
  phones or to even go to the payphone to call anyone was when
• 1:10:53
  my within my unit, my platoon alone, we won like a flag for
• 1:11:00
  qualifications, right? So we won the opportunity to
• 1:11:06
  call whoever the fuck we wanted. I.
• 1:11:09
  Remember. That for three minutes, that.
• 1:11:11
  Was it? Yeah.
• 1:11:12
  If you got the banners, if you got those banners, boy, you was
• 1:11:15
  able to make a. Quick yeah, my fucking platoon
• 1:11:17
  did great and boy, I will never forget winning it for
• 1:11:22
  qualifications and getting an extra fucking minute.
• 1:11:26
  Oh boy, extra minute and but still I called my dad and I said
• 1:11:32
  hey, I'm doing great, I'm doing fine.
• 1:11:35
  I know you. Can't even see letters.
• 1:11:37
  I love you. Goodbye, you know, Hung up, you
• 1:11:40
  know. Well, when I enlisted, they
• 1:11:42
  asked me if they wanted to join the Union or the Confederacy.
• 1:11:46
  So I'm. Sorry, what veteran?
• 1:11:50
  What? What you?
• 1:11:50
  You're not adorable. I'm so old.
• 1:11:53
  When I enlisted, they said for the Union or the Confederacy.
• 1:11:56
  Oh shut the fuck. Up you're.
• 1:11:59

• 1:12:03

• 1:15:56
  It's it's a goddamn fucking grunt trying to fuck with me and
• 1:15:59
  trying to get me to be fucking upset.
• 1:16:01
  I don't care. He's in the military.
• 1:16:03
  What? Is he in the military?
• 1:16:07
  Yeah, he, well, I don't know. Because if.

  He's asked. He's a goddamn fucking gunny.

  It don't. Matter.
• 1:16:18
  We're divorced. We're divorced.
• 1:16:20
  I don't. Care doesn't matter.
• 1:16:21
  That's a court martial. Oh, I know it is, but I don't
• 1:16:23
  care. Oh, but I do.
• 1:16:25
  Oh, honey, honey, please, please.

  Seven, I have to freak out on my phone.
• 1:17:28
  And stupid shit. Larry just points and laughs.
