I'm Stephanie.
0:00
I'm Meredith.
0:01
And welcome to This is My Circus.
0:02
Hey Steph.
0:03
Hi.
0:04
How are you?
0:04
I'm doing well.
0:05
How was your week?
0:07
It was so busy last week.
0:09
I thought you were going to say it was horrible.
0:11
Oh, no, no, no, no.
0:13
It's like this weekend.
0:14
So it's Sunday.
0:15
We're recording today.
0:16
Yes.
0:16
And just thinking back over the past week, it was just so busy and everything was a little different cause Halloween was during the week.
0:24
So just, you know, scheduling things around that, things that normally are on Tuesdays.
0:30
See, I'm so confused.
0:32
Thursday.
0:33
I don't know.
0:33
Whatever.
0:34
I didn't feel great last week.
0:35
Just a little, uh, but doing better now.
0:38
I'm glad you're feeling better.
0:39
I told Jackson I was like, I'm feeling blah, like just blah.
0:43
but it's November.
0:45
Yes, still another month I love.
0:47
Um, but how are you?
0:49
How was your week?
0:50
It was okay.
0:51
Does it feel like so long ago?
0:54
I just tried to think what happened this week.
0:55
Well, so Dylan's birthday is on Wednesday.
0:58
Oh, this coming Wednesday.
0:59
So he'll be 17.
1:00
Oh my God.
1:01
I know.
1:02
so I've just been trying to get him to tell me what he wants to do and like what he wants.
1:08
Yeah.
1:08
any luck with either of those things?
1:10
So he's just gonna have a couple of friends, stay over.
1:12
He wanted to do a fire, so I bought a fire pit today, so they can do that.
1:17
Um, that's really all he wanted to do.
1:19
Oh, he wants to go to the movies too.
1:21
so Tuesday they have off school for the election day.
1:23
Yes.
1:23
So we're going to go, cause at Arsley it's 6 movies on Tuesday.
1:27
That's right.
1:28
So I was like, dude, we could just like bounce from movie to movie.
1:31
Yeah.
1:32
Yeah.
1:32
What are you going to see?
1:33
What's out right now?
1:34
Do you know?
1:34
I want to see Venom ending of it, but he still wants to see it.
1:38
Yeah.
1:38
But he's Bummed that he saw the ending on TikTok.
1:41
Yeah.
1:42
And I was like, well, that's not on my TikTok feed, so do not talk about it.
1:45
Yeah.
1:46
I don't make it go on my TikTok feed.
1:47
Right.
1:48
The phones listen.
1:49
They do.
1:50
They, they do.
1:51
but also Beetlejuice 2.
1:53
Forgot about that one.
1:54
we saw Transformers last week.
1:57
Is it good?
1:58
I didn't see any previews for anything.
2:00
Dylan said, do you want to go see Transformers?
2:02
And I was like, heck yeah, let's go.
2:03
Yeah.
2:04
So we went, and it's more cartoony.
2:06
It's not like cartoons, but it's all the Transformers on their planet.
2:09
There's no, okay.
2:10
Okay.
2:11
So it's more animated, which I wasn't expecting.
2:16
Yeah.
2:16
I'm, I'm totally picturing like the first Transformers movie came out a few years ago.
2:20
Or gosh, probably about 10 years ago now.
2:22
But, but it's like how optimist Prime became optimist.
2:24
Prime.
2:24
How?
2:25
Oh yeah.
2:26
So it's like how they became their actual Oh, I love those back stories.
2:29
Yes.
2:29
It was like O og, before they had their little thingy emblem thing.
2:34
Yeah.
2:34
Whatever.
2:34
Yeah.
2:34
Um, oh, cool.
2:36
Their spark also.
2:37
Yeah.
2:38
That's right.
2:38
That's right.
2:38
Thank you.
2:39
Very envelope.
2:40
But it was, yeah, it was actually really, really good.
2:42
And that Bumblebee was hysterical as always.
2:45
My favorite Transformer in the entire Transformer universe is Bumblebee.
2:49
I love Bumblebee.
2:50
I like Bumblebee too.
2:51
He is so funny.
2:52
Yeah.
2:52
Yeah.
2:52
He's, he's, he's pretty witty.
2:54
The last 10 minutes of the movie, I was just laughing.
2:57
Oh, good.
2:58
So, and then me, Dylan and Ruthie were the only ones in the theater.
3:02
There was nobody else.
3:03
Wow.
3:03
So, they're, Giggling.
3:05
There's some movies coming out at Christmas time that I, or maybe like the end of November that I wanna see, and now I'm drawing a blank on what they are.
3:12
But, they started showing like a lot of previews for, you know, the holiday stuff coming out.
3:16
Mm-Hmm.
3:16
And they're not like Christmas movies, but they're, wintery kind of whatever.
3:21
So Yeah.
3:22
Can't wait to go see some movies later.
3:24
I don't watch tv.
3:27
Yeah.
3:27
So I never see any movie previous, so I never know what's, I didn't even know Venom Two was out already.
3:31
Yeah.
3:31
Normally, Dylan will be like, Hey, yeah, this is out.
3:35
I didn't know that that was the Venom 2 was out.
3:37
Yeah.
3:38
I think I see a lot of things in football.
3:40
I think that's where I see all the, ads for that kind of stuff.
3:42
Cause most of the TV I watch is on Netflix or Hulu or whatever.
3:45
Yeah.
3:46
But yeah, I didn't know Venom 2 was out.
3:48
I'm excited.
3:50
Good, good, good.
3:51
So we're going to do that Tuesday.
3:52
During the day, but he'll have her and sleep over Monday.
3:55
That's really it.
3:56
He said, he'll let me know for the gift what he wants something truck related.
4:00
I'm sure.
4:00
Yeah.
4:01
Yeah.
4:02
We were, somewhere in clever, like, gas station or something.
4:04
And whoever we were with was like, is that Dylan?
4:07
And I was like, that is Dylan's that is they're like, it's very oh, I know where we were.
4:12
We were at the 9th grade campus.
4:15
for some reason out there.
4:16
Oh, Jackson helped a little bit with the powder puff game last week.
4:19
That's what it was.
4:20
And, Dylan might've been going out there to do some lacrosse stuff or something.
4:24
I don't know on that field.
4:25
And I was like, that is Dylan's truck.
4:26
Yes, it is.
4:29
Yes.
4:29
They were like, it's very well lit.
4:30
Yeah.
4:31
Can't miss him.
4:32
Yeah.
4:33
Yeah.
4:33
he, he loves that truck.
4:35
Well, I had forgotten why I was so busy last week, but now saying powder puff.
4:40
So Jackson helped coach one of the teams.
4:42
and he had a good time, you know, I mean, he was just out there to like be an assistant coach or whatever, but it's just.
4:47
I don't want him to be old enough to get his license and stuff, but when they're this age and they've got so much going on, it's so hard like, football practice would end at 6, 630, and then he would go over to powder puff practice.
5:02
It's so tough to get them everywhere.
5:05
And then Thursday night actually was Halloween and we didn't do trick or treating or anything this year, but he wanted to go to the JV game.
5:12
taking him all the places.
5:13
So, and I know one day I'll miss being like running them all over the place.
5:17
Yeah.
5:19
I'm just, In my feelings a little bit about this being his junior year and oh, yeah, but he still wants to do things with me I think that's awesome.
5:27
Oh, I the movies.
5:28
He's such a good kid.
5:29
These boys.
5:30
I know.
5:30
These boys, these boys.
5:32
so this week we're doing presidential scandals, right?
5:36
Yeah, like funny political scandals.
5:38
Because I was going to say not recent, but it depends on what your version is of recent.
5:41
Yeah.
5:41
On what that, because you know, we got to touch on the Bill and Monica stuff that are not recent.
5:46
so I wore red, white, and blue.
5:48
I got blue.
5:48
You did, but I felt like you nailed it today.
5:51
You know, this is it though.
5:53
I did not get the answer.
5:54
You did not pass.
5:57
No, that's okay.
5:57
I love you anyways.
5:58
Thank you.
5:59
Thank you.
6:00
so let's kick up the political stuff.
6:02
Did you read our book?
6:04
I sure did.
6:06
I am so excited to talk about this.
6:09
Tell us what the book was, or do you have the blurb?
6:11
The American Royals by Catherine McKee is what we read.
6:15
Two princesses vying for the ultimate crown.
6:18
Two girls vying for the princess heart.
6:20
This is the story of the American Royals.
6:23
When American won the Revolutionary Awards, people offered General George Washington a Crown.
6:28
Two and a half centuries later, the House of Washington still sits at the throne.
6:33
Like most royal families, the Washingtons have an air and a spare, a future monarch and a backup battery.
6:39
Each child knows exactly what is expected of them, but these aren't just any royals, they're Americans.
6:44
As Princess Beatrice gets closer to becoming America's first Queen Regent, the duty she has embraced her entire life suddenly feels stifling.
6:52
Nobody cares about the spare except when she's breaking the rule.
6:55
So Princess Samantha doesn't care much about anything either, her.
7:02
And then there's Samantha's twin, Prince Jefferson.
7:06
If he'd been born a generation earlier, he would have stood first in line for the throne.
7:10
But the new laws of succession make him third.
7:12
Most of America adores their devastatingly handsome prince.
7:16
But two very different girls are vying to capture his heart.
7:20
Duty, the intrigue, The crown New York Times bestselling author Catherine McGee imagines an alternate version of the modern world one where the glittering age of Monarchies has not yet faded and where love is still powerful enough to change the course of history.
7:35
No da da this week You have to have Like drama music.
7:38
Yeah.
7:39
Yeah So this is the first book in a series of five.
7:42
Yes we knew that going in.
7:44
Yes.
7:44
So our expectations are the story is going to continue.
7:46
You might not have fully developed relationships.
7:49
And so you do the things were not probably going to be complete.
7:52
Not a lot of resolution.
7:54
Right, right.
7:55
This is a young adult romance slash drama.
7:59
I love young adult romance slash drugs.
8:04
it also has that, alternate America vibe.
8:07
Like an alternate universe, which I love royalty stuff, but for it to be modern and the, Premise of it being American Royals is really cool.
8:17
Yeah, very cool.
8:18
Yeah, I liked it a lot it gave me a kind of like a Gossip Girl vibe.
8:21
Mm hmm If you like that kind of stuff, this book would be really good for you to read if you did not read it this week So if you're 13, you'd be really like this.
8:30
I watched Gossip Girl as a grown ass woman.
8:36
I keep forgetting we have to beep if we need to.
8:38
Um, yes, totally, totally that vibe of that.
8:42
you've got the mean girls click.
8:44
You got the CW TV show stuff a hundred percent.
8:48
Yeah.
8:48
And actually, so when the first time I read this book several years ago, and there was on, I don't know what channel it was on, but there was a show called Royals on at the time but it was in England.
9:00
but it had The three siblings.
9:03
Okay.
9:04
And it had a very much like this vibe, but it wasn't America.
9:08
Okay.
9:09
So I, Loved this.
9:11
I did too.
9:12
This was such a fun book.
9:15
Yes.
9:15
one reason I was kind of joking about liking YA, but I really do like it because you get a lot of the story and not that I don't appreciate some steamy stuff, but it's nice to, like you said, just a palate cleanser where it's just the story.
9:28
You're not like waiting for the next.
9:30
It's not heavy.
9:31
It's not like weighing on your heart when you're done.
9:34
It is just very much a fun.
9:37
Book.
9:37
Yeah, there are some, some sad parts and there's some, you know, some, it's drama, it's a drama, right?
9:43
But it's not like there's, it's not gory.
9:47
And again, I appreciate that stuff.
9:49
And I like that stuff.
9:50
But this is very much just a palate cleanser.
9:52
It is just a.
9:53
Fun easy, definitely a beach read.
9:56
quick, but very interesting.
9:58
Yeah.
9:59
So, the chapters were broken down by character point of view, which I appreciated.
10:04
Yeah.
10:05
It was done well.
10:06
Yes.
10:06
we listened, obviously, as we always do, but, you follow it along very easily, easy because the personalities of these characters, even with all the girls that, that are in the story, being our young ladies being similar of age and where they are in the world and, country and, you know, all that there, their vibe is so different.
10:25
So you can tell who's Daphne, right.
10:27
just by the way that they speak.
10:30
And the way that they carry themselves.
10:31
Yeah.
10:31
I didn't get lost once.
10:34
That says something for us.
10:36
I don't know what that says about me, but, I think again, like I said in the beginning, going into this, knowing that there is going to be additional books, my expectations were for a series type of character development.
10:50
So my thought was.
10:52
And hopefully not too many spoilers, but you know, it is what it is.
10:55
My thought was it's five books.
10:59
Each book will have a relationship that comes to a conclusion, kind of like the, I don't know if you watch Bridgerton it's about this couple with some side couples and at the end they get together kind of, or, you know, similar to that.
11:11
I am interested to see how they pull all of this together.
11:15
When you read them, did you read all of them?
11:17
The first three.
11:18
Okay.
11:19
And then the fourth wasn't available.
11:20
And it just, yeah.
11:21
And I just, yeah.
11:22
But again, this was like years and years ago.
11:24
So character development and then like their interpersonal, relationships within this, this book, friendships, romance, parental relationships.
11:34
That's the, all the dynamics, I think the siblings, all of it, it was so realistically done.
11:39
and believable.
11:40
Yeah.
11:40
It wasn't like, um, it was very much CW versus like a lifetime.
11:46
Yeah.
11:48
It's the best way I can like put it into words.
11:51
Yep.
11:51
okay, so this is the part that I was kind of like a little bit of a knock for me was.
11:58
We didn't get a lot of like the history and like me saying that right is weird But we only got like little tiny glimpses of how this alternate universe right whatever reality Had come to be mm hmm and they hit on you know after the war they gave Washington and the crown.
12:19
there was like a little, very brief, mention of slavery, but they didn't say like what happened.
12:23
Like it was just, they briefly mentioned pieces of real history, but they didn't tell how in depth, how they changed it.
12:31
And for me, Being the history wanting that was frustrating, but then I had to kind of remember the premise of the book is just fun.
12:40
Right?
12:40
But I'm fascinated and want to know was that a possibility to be that way.
12:47
What I really liked was they were talking about somebody was drinking tea and they were like, don't let grandmother see you.
12:53
Like, it's still a terrible thing.
12:55
They only drink coffee.
12:56
They only drink coffee.
12:57
Don't ever let the grandmother see you drink tea.
12:59
Yep.
12:59
I think that it shows that everything that shines is not gold.
13:04
Like grass is not always greener.
13:06
I think that was done really, really well.
13:08
What did you think about the, the twin vibe?
13:11
Like, did you pick up on the, you know, they mentioned a couple of times the, twin language and stuff.
13:17
Yeah.
13:17
they could feel each other's emotions.
13:19
Yeah.
13:19
Yeah.
13:19
And that when they spoke, they used almost broken sentences just to communicate.
13:24
Twins can be crazy.
13:26
Yeah.
13:26
Connected.
13:27
Yes.
13:27
I am not a twin Same.
13:30
Same.
13:30
but the thing is fascinating though.
13:31
I But when you were little, did you wish you were a twin?
13:33
Oh, yeah.
13:34
So did I.
13:35
Especially so watching parent trap Oh yeah, of course.
13:39
Of course.
13:41
I had a percent.
13:41
I loved The original one.
13:45
Yeah.
13:46
Okay.
13:46
Yeah.
13:46
Just making sure Lindsay Lohan one.
13:48
Right.
13:48
No, right.
13:49
No, no.
13:51
Hayley Mills.
13:52
Um, yeah.
13:54
I wanted a lot of, like, I wanted younger siblings too.
13:57
Really?
13:57
I do not.
13:58
You were fine.
13:59
I wanted to be the only child or a twin.
14:02
Me or another one like me or nothing at all.
14:05
Yeah.
14:09
So We're going to do spoilers now because we need to like break it down.
14:12
Yep.
14:13
What did you think of the chick at the end waking up.
14:19
Forgot her name.
14:20
I can't remember.
14:21
The one in the hospital.
14:21
Yes.
14:22
I cannot wait.
14:23
okay.
14:24
So, you know, Daphne's evil, but she's evil, evil.
14:27
She is cuckoo, kachoo, evil.
14:29
Yeah.
14:30
She is awful.
14:32
And, uh, okay.
14:33
So I was like, how are they gonna?
14:36
How are they going to do all these relationships and all the crossover, two girls, like one guy, or, you know, vice all these things to make everybody quote happy in the end and everybody, she doesn't deserve to be happy.
14:47
No.
14:48
I hope the girl remembers everything and can communicate.
14:52
I could not stand when they were in the bathroom.
14:56
Yes.
14:56
At the, the Asian party.
14:58
And she locks the door and then she turns around and I'm not like picturing this in my head, like a movie and like the girl turned around and it's just like her whole face, just like, The mask comes off.
15:07
She's awful.
15:08
She is a bully B diva.
15:12
All the things just, I get the feeling and it didn't really spell it out.
15:16
Like you don't really know her relationship with her parents, but her parents are pushing her to become a princess.
15:21
And so this is what she was born for.
15:23
This is what her parents have pushed her for since she could, you know, walk.
15:28
Right.
15:28
was to marry a prince.
15:29
So that has to be a lot of pressure too.
15:31
So I'm trying to think of the mentality of how you can do all these horrible things.
15:35
But this is her only goal in life.
15:37
And she has all that her parents, obviously like the little bit that we heard from the parents were not good.
15:43
They're not good.
15:44
And they're pushing her to do this and telling her, you know, this is your job.
15:48
And by any means necessary and, um, get it done, make it happen.
15:52
Captain.
15:53
Yeah.
15:53
We saw glimpses of how she could be.
15:55
Yeah.
15:56
Very small glimpses.
15:57
Very small.
15:58
She didn't have the pressure to bag a prince.
16:03
I appreciate in this book that they've got some evilness in there.
16:08
You know, like you think that it might be all happy and good, but no, she's, she's a pretty crappy person.
16:14
but like that scene where She's shopping for the dress and Daphne comes in and like I'm like, oh, is she gonna be good now?
16:21
And then I'm like, oh no, no, no, no.
16:23
No, she's planning something nasty.
16:25
She's always plotting.
16:26
She's always scheming Yeah always that schemer trying to never just is and never just being a friend or whatever always just Think about that next step and how to get what she wants.
16:38
And I want to just jump through the book and Smack Jefferson some sense into him.
16:44
Yes for automatically believing that.
16:48
Oh Like golden child or whatever well, it's because she's played the game so good.
16:54
I know but I know, but you know, it's, it's kind of like how you said a few weeks ago, you know, you want somebody who's going to burn down the world for you, not sacrifice you for the world.
17:05
And it's the same thing when you're with somebody, you want them to always be on your side.
17:10
It's like, I've told Brian I'm deep down, probably going to know I'm wrong, but in that moment, I need you to be on my side.
17:16
Yeah.
17:17
Yeah.
17:17
we can have a talk later and I'll be like, dude, I know I was tripping, but yeah, Just little things, you know, that I'm like, can you believe this happened?
17:24
And he's like, trying to reason and be like, well, no, no, be on my side right now.
17:29
Yeah.
17:29
I need you to be on my side.
17:30
So that's what I wanted him to do was be on her side and to always, you know, but I mean, I forget how young they are.
17:38
I know, I know, I know.
17:39
They're like teenagers.
17:40
18.
17:40
Yeah.
17:41
Yeah.
17:41
I've downloaded the next book.
17:43
Okay.
17:44
I cannot wait to see how everything plays out.
17:48
I want to know what's going to happen with Teddy.
17:51
Do you know what happens with Hedy?
17:54
So my thought was like this first book was going to wrap up with Beatrice like she was gonna find her soulmate and you know the next book was going to focus on whoever else That didn't happen.
18:06
No.
18:07
Well, I mean it kind of happened, but there was no finality to it.
18:11
Yeah, I Felt so bad for we just call her B?
18:14
Let's call her B.
18:15
Okay.
18:16
I always like get tongue tied on her.
18:17
It's a tough one.
18:21
so I felt so bad for her and the sacrifices that she's expected.
18:27
And then I get it.
18:28
I mean, like, Political right, right.
18:30
and again, she's been raised for this, right?
18:32
That when she said i've given up so much of my life I shouldn't have to give up who I marry or who I love and I felt so bad for her in that moment I felt bad for her at the end of the book when there's the the situation and she's devastated like her world is shaken And she's like well, I know what i'm supposed to do now because i've trained for this You What my response is supposed to be to this and that's just devastating in the in the moment that she's in to have to almost perform in that moment.
19:03
Yeah Oh, I felt bad for her too.
19:06
Also when she was, in the hospital She was talking to the doctor and asking if a news could have provoked right her father having the heart attack, right?
19:16
I felt so bad like the guilt that she was feeling and that Is obviously weighing on her heart, but also weighing on what she wants at that point.
19:26
She feels like my relationship with this guy is killing my dad.
19:31
Yeah.
19:32
So that is now tainted.
19:34
Like the pure love that she was feeling is now tainted.
19:38
Right.
19:38
So even if she does end up with Connor, right.
19:43
She's always in the back of her mind going to think about this is what, I mean, even though the doctor soothed her mind and, you know, gave her some comfort there.
19:51
My hope is that she talks to her mom and her mom's like, your dad wants you to be happy.
19:56
I don't know why I think she's from Wisconsin.
20:00
Well, the dad told her that he loved a commoner and he knows, and I was like, you don't tell your daughter that you know, your mom wasn't my first choice.
20:11
She was a responsibility.
20:12
I mean, yeah, that yeah, off a little bit.
20:16
I can't believe he said that.
20:17
I can't either.
20:17
But I do tell Jackson all the time that Brian was engaged before me.
20:20
So, it blew me away that he wasn't just like, this is how it is.
20:26
Like roll with it.
20:27
And he was trying to let her know that she wasn't the first one that this happened to and right.
20:32
But you have a duty.
20:32
Yeah.
20:33
You have the duty and the responsibility to marry and keep the purity of the crown.
20:39
And now that I've spotted it's just, yes.
20:41
So what would you, um, Oh, I'd give it, I'd give it like a, I've never given a book a 10.
20:50
So I'm gonna say none.
20:52
I'm with you.
20:53
I liked it a lot.
20:53
The only thing that I wish that we had a little bit more of a backstory.
20:57
I could totally take this book and have them rewrite it with more detail.
21:03
I feel like it's very surface.
21:05
Yeah.
21:05
There's nothing too deep about it.
21:08
And that's part of what I like about it.
21:10
This is YA though, right?
21:10
So let's go too deep.
21:12
Teenagers don't want to.
21:15
Because we're so mature.
21:16
We are turning into YA book, reviewers.
21:21
I think the four of the past five books have been YA.
21:25
that's okay though.
21:26
Stick with us guys.
21:27
Stick with us.
21:27
We're good.
21:28
I promise.
21:29
Right.
21:30
But, but they don't want that.
21:31
They want the relationship drama It's happening right now.
21:34
So if they were to make this into an adult book like, well, not like adult, adult, not like spicy, but, but like a drama book in the, like, right.
21:48
Adult category.
21:49
No, just stop Stefanie.
21:51
Again, just let me go.
21:53
Just let me go.
21:54
No, I know what you mean.
21:54
Just a fiction in current, you know, yeah, for, for, yeah, for our age group, right.
22:00
They may have gone into more depth, but that's not their target demographic.
22:05
A hundred percent.
22:06
Yeah, love the book.
22:07
Already downloaded the next one.
22:08

22:19
We told you last week that we wanted to stay on like a theme, yeah.
22:22

22:24
Yes.
22:24
So with the big election this week, well, obviously it's presidential, political, But funny.
22:29
Yes.
22:29

22:34

22:41
I don't know.
22:42
That sounds fun.
22:42
I don't know.
22:43
I don't know anything about it.
22:45
We'll all be surprised, but that's what we're going to do.
22:47
And then let's go ahead and tell them.
22:48
So the next week after that, we're going to do family stuff.
22:50
Right.
22:51
So in the following week, which is the last week of November, we're going to do black Friday crimes.
22:56
Yeah, think black Friday in itself is a crime against humanity.
23:00
Um, so yeah, so next week will be friend stuff.
23:03
So our book for next week is, Not bad people is by brandy scott.
23:08
Okay, and it should be Really really good Well, that's good.
23:15
Yep.
23:15

23:24
Just blow my mind.
23:25
Okay.
23:26
but can we first talk about something funny, please?
23:28
Again, not saying politically one way or the other they should do, but this is going to be on election day.
23:33
So you guys probably have already done your vote.
23:35
You should have voted, but Trump.
23:38

23:50
I love it.
23:50
I'm here for it.
23:52
The Vek, Rammi.
23:54
Rammi, I think his name.
23:55
Yeah.
23:56
He like rode up on the back of a dump truck, with the vest on saying we were taking out the garbage.
24:06
I mean, I was laughing so hard when I woke up.
24:10
That was the first thing I saw when I woke up that day.
24:12
Like when I put on, that's a way to start a day TikTok and see him.
24:16
But then he goes into the rally and he's talking about.
24:19
This whole thing of him rolling up on the truck and how his team got this together in like 30 minutes and he goes, so I'm standing out there waiting to get in the truck and I'm looking at this truck and it's really big.
24:31
And all I'm thinking is I better not fall getting into this truck because all of the trash news is out there.
24:38
And they're going to say that I need a cognitive test.
24:42
If I trip, he said, and.
24:45
I looked at those steps and that that shit was tall and I'm like, oh, my God, that's great.
24:54
Made your day.
24:55
You saw that the president elect swearing.
24:58

25:33
Okay.
25:34

25:38
But did you see all of the other companies responding?
25:41

And I can't remember word for word what it said something.
25:59

And then all the people were in the trash bags all over TikTok.
27:21
It's been great.
27:21
Yeah.
27:22
Yeah.
27:22
Well, right now my TikTok is it's a three way tie for what's in my feed right now.
27:27
What's in there.
27:28
So I have.
27:30
well, let's just say two way tie with political stuff because it's kind of split down the middle on what I'm seeing this side and that side.
27:36
And then it's Christmas stuff like I keep hearing different, that Mariah Carey song, like so many different tick tocks already to that, and I'm like, just give me a minute guys.
27:48
Give me just a minute and I'm a put your tree up now if you want to, I don't care, but I just, I personally need a minute.
27:55
So mine is political stuff and, people selling stuff.
28:00
Like I am, I am such a, easily influenced buyer.
28:06
Today, they're on my feed.
28:08
I don't know, really know why is filled with like holistic ailment like treatment.
28:14
I don't know why like it's yeah, I mean I use like essential oils and stuff like that I'm right into that stuff.
28:20
But like I don't know.
28:21
It's just weird that this was hitting my feed Mm hmm, and there's a book and it's like the Forgotten Apothecary.
28:28
Oh and it has like 250 different home remedies.
28:31
Yeah.
28:32
Whatever.
28:33
And so I got sucked into that.
28:35
Did you buy the book?
28:35
I did.
28:37
Oh, have you tried our, tape?
28:40
I have.
28:41
I've been using it too.
28:42
You like it?
28:43
I think it works better than the other one that we bought.
28:44
Yeah.
28:46
Yeah.
28:46
I just wish it wasn't blue.
28:49
So when you're sleeping.
28:50
So you know, I love my miss Nina.
28:52
Yes.
28:53
but there's also like two other people now that I have found, I guess, um, on Tik TOK that do the dupes from the Dollar Tree.
29:01
So I, what you got the purple shampoo.
29:05
Okay.
29:05
it's supposed to be super similar to the expensive ones that Ulta.
29:10
Yes.
29:10
Have you tried them?
29:11
Can I see it?
29:12
Yeah.
29:13
And it smells pretty good.
29:16
Yeah.
29:17
So this is supposed to smell like Sol de Janeiro.
29:22
Okay.
29:22
I don't know what it smells like, but is this what it smells like?
29:24
Yeah.
29:25
But I don't know how long it'll stay.
29:26
I don't know if it'll stay as long, but it's just a body spray.
29:29
It's not the perfume either.
29:30
It's notes of pistachio and salted caramel.
29:33
Have you seen the hack though, where you take like the little thing of Vaseline and you I mean, yeah, Oh, you know, we were talking about stuffy noses.
29:39
Yeah.
29:40
What else did you find?
29:42
So this is like the squeezy bottle You put up one nostril and it's supposed to come out the other and then the saline like the neti pot stuff Okay, Yeah The saline packets for it.
29:53
That's really cool.
29:54
So instead of a neti pot, you can go get you for, 2 and 50 cents, a whole box of the saline packets and the bottle.
30:01
Now that is going to be 10 quarters, the 10 quarter purchase, not the five quarter store.
30:07
that's cool.
30:08
Yeah.
30:09
So those were my, finds for the week.
30:11
Yeah, those are good.
30:12
I have zero funds.
30:14
but I think I'm going to have to, I have a new goal.
30:18
I'm going to find something that's going to blow your socks off.
30:21
It's not that hard to do.
30:26
I'm easily influenced.
30:28
Yeah, but I did like the blue.
30:29
So Brian was like, what is on your head?
30:30
I was like, don't worry about it.
30:32
Mind your business.
30:33
Yeah.
30:33
Mind your business.
30:34
Let me get my wrinkles out.
30:35
I've got it right next to my bed.
30:36
And, at night I use, Castor oil.
30:39
Yeah, with some frankincense in it.
30:41
Yeah, and so, you know, I put that on right as I'm laying in bed Yeah, and they put the little sticker on.
30:46
Yeah, and it still sticks good cuz I do the same I mean, I'm not laying in bed.
30:50
I go in there in the mirror and try to fix all the spots But I'm like, but are you not scared?
30:54
You're gonna get it on your opera the tape on your eyebrows No, I just wing it you swing it.
30:59
Okay, cuz that's what I'm scared.
31:00
And then I'm like, oh my god Then all my eyebrows will be even more going.
31:05
You But yeah, I do the same.
31:06
I put moisturizer on and then did you always wear moisturizer?
31:09
Or is this like a since you've gotten older thing?
31:10
Same.
31:11
Yeah.
31:14
I try to do better.
31:16
I do too, but I don't remember all the time.
31:19
I do better at night doing it than I do in the morning.
31:22
Well, that's why it's right next to my bed because yeah, I don't remember in the bathroom.
31:25
Yeah, that'll be laying in bed and i'm like, oh, yeah, so it's right next to bed.
31:28
Yeah.
31:28
Yeah.
31:29
So yeah, that was mine My thinking on that.
31:32
I'm smart.
31:32
I have a better chance.
31:33
James got a better shot at making it happen.
31:35
so thank you all of you Dollar Tree queens for finding us these dupes.
31:41
what we found works good.
31:42
So I'm thinking that what's up.
31:44
I had mentioned that I thought that I had heard that the Charlie or the Manson murders were CIA related.
31:51
So I did find that there is.
31:54
stuff that leads, there's no like definitive, but during that time, like I'm just going to read you what I found.
32:00
Yeah.
32:01
the Manson murders, which took place in 1969 are often discussed in connection with the CIA due to theories suggesting that Charles Manson's cult may have been influenced by mind control experiments linked to the agency.
32:13
Some conspiracy theories propose that Manson's manipulation of his followers mirrored tactics used in the MKUltra, a secret CIA program aimed at developing methods of mind control.
32:26
This connection is largely speculative and not supported by concrete evidence, but nothing in the CIA as ever.
32:32
Right, right.
32:33
There's no written, there's no documentation of anything.
32:36
so I, I'm 100 percent in on this theory.
32:39
the narrative, Often emphasizes a broader cultural context in the 1960s where paranoia about the government's actions and psychological experimentation contributed to the fascination with the Manson case.
32:50
I listened to the Candace Owens and Judge Joe Brown interview and it was like two hours long.
32:55
It's on YouTube.
32:56
I'll link it in our show notes.
32:57
Okay.
32:58
It was so much political tea.
33:03
Really?
33:04
That he knows the ins and outs of the deep stuff.
33:08
Like he knows his stuff and he was there for it all.
33:11
Yeah.
33:11
So he went and he did briefly talk about this and said it was a CIA project that they were trying to get rid of, like the no, wait, wait, Judge Joe Brown from TV.
33:22
Yes.
33:23
I didn't know he knew things.
33:24
Oh, he knows a lot.
33:26
So, when, Cat Williams did the Shea Shea Show and, and dropped the tea on everybody, that was like the equivalent of this.
33:35
Yeah.
33:36
You've got two hours to spare.
33:38
Right.
33:39
YouTube, Candace Owens, Judge Joe Brown, and, and he lays out all the things heavily on current events.
33:48
Really?
33:48
Yes.
33:50
So I'm not going to get into that, but he did talk about this saying that the whole premise of it was because all of the, you know, make love, hippies don't have peace was against the political agenda of going to war and they wanted to make the hippies look bad.
34:10
And so they're doing an LSD experiment in San Francisco or wherever.
34:15
And Manson was on parole and his parole person, what are they called?
34:23
Parole officer?
34:23
Yeah.
34:24
The officer was involved in this experiment, to distribute.
34:27
So he basically, gave Manson the drugs and he also then distributed it to his people and sent his people to go get the the LSE as well and just made them all influenced that way.
34:46
Wow.
34:47
and it was to make the hippies look bad so that our country would not be opposed to going to war.
34:53
Because this is what hippies do.
34:54
Hippies kill people.
34:56
I mean it's just to put like a bad light on, on the whole movement Yes.
35:00
Piece.
35:00
Yeah.
35:02
Oh my god.
35:03
Mm hmm.
35:04
I'm gonna have to find time to listen to that.
35:06
Yeah, maybe while I'm multitasking he is like, So knowledgeable like it's insane.
35:12
I wish I was that smart.
35:13
Oh my gosh And his head is like a vault of information.
35:16
I would Love to sit down and talk to him.
35:19
Like so much information.
35:23
Would you want him to just like talk?
35:25
Yes.
35:25
And that's what Candace really does.
35:27
Let him just go.
35:28
Okay.
35:28
she does ask some questions, but she just lets them go.
35:30
Like where some interviews are like, they get off track and they're trying to like, here's my list of questions.
35:36
Right.
35:36
It's a conversation.
35:38
it was so well done.
35:39
Good.
35:40
Yeah.
35:40
That's pretty recent.
35:41
Yeah.
35:42
Interview.
35:42
It was a couple of weeks ago.
35:43
I think it's probably taken down.
35:45
It's still there.
35:46
Okay so that's crazy.
35:47
He also touched on J Edgar Hoover.
35:50
Okay.
35:51
So I didn't know, I mean, we learned about it in school.
35:54
Never crossed my mind.
35:56
You were, you were busy in school with the parties.
35:58
I was very busy.
36:00
I've lost a lot of brain cells.
36:04
But I know the name.
36:05
I don't know anything about anything with it.
36:07
So y'all out there are probably way more knowledgeable than I was when I heard this, but I was like jaw on the floor.
36:14
oh, my goodness.
36:15
Okay.
36:16
Do you know anything about J Edgar Hoover?
36:17
He started the FBI.
36:18
Right?
36:19
and.
36:21
I mean, I know like little random facts, but like that's all that's what I know him as.
36:27
Okay.
36:27
So we have read several books about white passing, uh, back in the day.
36:32
He was a white passing man.
36:34
Shut up.
36:35
Yes.
36:36
Are you serious?
36:37
According to judge joe brown.
36:38
Yes.
36:39
and then, so I'm looking up like the pictures and stuff of him.
36:42
Of course, some of the pictures you like now that you think about it, must google Here, that's him?
36:47
Mm hmm.
36:48
Really?
36:50
So, some pictures, like, I mean, you could be like, yeah, I see it now.
36:53
Okay, I mean, I, yeah.
36:54
So, yeah, he was white passing.
36:57
I'd never heard that.
36:59
he was gay.
37:00
Okay.
37:00
Didn't know that either.
37:01
Cross dresser in private.
37:02
I knew that.
37:04
He went to a lot of, adult parties.
37:07
and there is like photographs, floating out there apparently from different.
37:13
I knew he, he really enjoyed dressing up and women's stuff.
37:16
And, they said, They did that because if he was such a powerful person with all the things, so all the things wrong way to say that he was such a powerful person in his career and, and everything.
37:29
So he wanted to feel, I'm just gonna stop.
37:35
We are setting each other up today.
37:37
And so, but he did that because he wanted to not be in control and all that.
37:42
He stopped.
37:43
So, so is what he was saying is women are not powerful.
37:50
Maybe when he wants to be dominated.
37:53
Yes, this is going really, really bad.
37:55
but I did hear that.
37:57
I don't remember where I heard that.
37:58
but I'm, I'm more shocked at the white passing.
38:01
Yeah.
38:02
Not, not shot in a, like a bad way, like how dare, but shot just like what in the world?
38:08
Yeah, that's a huge, that's not like Kitty that we read the book about being white passing.
38:13
Like this is the freaking director of the FBI, Hoover, like, okay.
38:19
If you listen to this interview with Judge Joe Brown, he said that he worked in a brothel.
38:24
At one point I think he said something like the third floor where it's like special requested peeps off things.
38:35
But he was very corrupt, very corrupt and he abused his power.
38:39
And, judge Joe Brown said it was more because he.
38:44
It was repressing so much rage against himself or his bad feelings for himself.
38:49
I'm not thinking or not being openly all the things.
38:54
Yeah.
38:54
He was not himself.
38:56
So then it reminded me of, I mean, obviously I have so much knowledge.
39:02
but when you're watching all of these crime shows and they are doing the, break down, like who they think it is?
39:08
When they're giving the profile they see that kind of stuff.
39:11
Like they, it's a person who is gay, who has so much rage against themselves because of this.
39:18
He was very adamant about, shutting down brothels and shutting down all these, it's sex workers and, he really went hard on those people, a lot of people were like, what the heck, you know, like, yeah, it's bad, but, but why are you, we got bigger picture.
39:31
he did go, after the mob, there's many things that say that he was paid by the mob as well.
39:36
But I mean, I don't know if that's true.
39:38
This is all don't get us, don't get us, get us alleged.
39:41
so he was a bad man.
39:42
Yes.
39:43
And he is, they basically told him like, you need to step down.
39:47
Like when he retired, he was the director for 48 years.
39:52
Yes.
39:52
Tom.
39:53
That blows my mind.
39:55
Right?
39:55
The stuff like him wearing women's panties is, I mean, it's, it's strange to me.
40:03
In today's days, we have a very much like a, hey, what you do, consenting adults do have it.
40:08
so like, it's not as much as of a shock to us, but think back in that day.
40:12
Yeah, where nothing was okay.
40:15
Right.
40:16
Right.
40:17
When that leaked, it had to be such a huge deal.
40:20
Uh huh.
40:21
I'm just like that picture that you have up right there.
40:24
That is.
40:26
That he looks like a black man.
40:28
Yeah, but then, you know, you look at different pictures and Yeah, either way.
40:32
Yeah So again, judge joe brown's got all the teeth.
40:36
I'm gonna have to definitely dig into that he also talked about was who was it?
40:39
I forgot which assassination it was He talked about martin luther king assassination as well as john f kennedy.
40:44
Okay.
40:45
so Yeah, he's got all the tea.
40:47
There's so much about all this stuff that I want to know.
40:51
Like, do I want to know or do I not?
40:53
You don't know.
40:54
I want all of it.
40:54
I do too, but then I You don't do politics.
40:56
I am not a politician.
40:57
Oh no, I won't.
40:58
I just want the, the scandal part of it.
41:00
But I was so drawn in.
41:02
Yeah.
41:03
To this interview.
41:05
I want to know, but I don't want the responsibility of no one.
41:08
Does that make sense?
41:09
Like, I want to know the things, but don't kill me for no one.
41:11
And don't make me do anything with what I know.
41:13
And so much is not in mainstream media.
41:15
So even if you get this information, you can't, like he was there, he is firsthand experience at a lot of these things.
41:22
Uh huh.
41:22
he's not just a TV character.
41:24
Yeah, that's why I was shocked.
41:26
I was like, Judge J Wait, wait, wait, wait, is he married to Judge Judy?
41:30
No, I don't think so.
41:32
Did you ever see Judge Judy's got a banging body.
41:35
Does she?
41:36
Oh my god, when she doesn't have that robe on, you should see underneath her robe.
41:42
Look her up.
41:43
She has got a booty.
41:44
Really?
41:45
Oh my gosh.
41:48
She's got like a snatched waist.
41:50
Booty.
41:50
Stop talking about me.
41:52
Girlfriend.
41:53
Oh.
41:54
She has got a body.
41:55
She's a baddie.
41:57
A baddie with a body.
42:00
She is a baddie with the body and an education.
42:05
Brains and booty.
42:08
Her! Wow Yes, she's, I don't know.
42:13
I was on Facebook.
42:14
Yeah.
42:14
Somebody had posted, Look at Judge Judy's body without the robe, or look what she's hiding under that robe, and I was like, leave that woman alone, and then I was like, dang, Judge Judy.
42:25
That's crazy.
42:27
I am, laughing at myself right now that we're saying that she was married to Judge Judy.
42:34
yeah.
42:34
So, um, that's crazy, but he had all the, all the good stuff in there.
42:39
So much good stuff.
42:40
Okay.
42:40
Yeah, definitely go check that out.
42:42
Okay.
42:43
What did you find out?
42:43
What kind of tea did you get?
42:45
I didn't look up any tea.
42:47
I'm sorry.
42:47
I suck.
42:48
So continue to share don't have a whole lot more, but I did find a list of funny scandalous moments in history.
42:58
Okay.
42:58
Give it to me.
42:59
All right.
42:59
Well, we can, we can look at the website together.
43:02
A journalist threw his shoes and George W.
43:04
Bush's head.
43:06
Yes.
43:07
Was in 2008 and we are watching the GIF of this right now.
43:10
Mm-Hmm.
43:10
with people and like legit it should have hit his head and he ducked I mean, that's some great reflexes.
43:16
Not gonna lie.
43:18
The dude tries to like swatted away.
43:19
Yeah.
43:20
The other guy tried to swat it.
43:22
Good job.
43:23
GW Bush.
43:25
Oh, the other thing.
43:27
Yeah.
43:27
That Judge Joe Brown tells us, uh, is that Obama and is related to the Bush's.
43:34
Oh, really?
43:35
They're cousins.
43:36
They're like all like cousins, like all of them It's weird.
43:39
That is weird.
43:40
That's almost like how in the royal family like everybody's related to.
43:44
I don't know if he, if it was him or, or I saw it somewhere else, that they said that Kamala and Biden share like a great grandfather or something like on the Irish side.
43:55
Really?
43:57
That's crazy.
43:58
Yeah.
43:58
I'm definitely gonna have to go give that a listen.
44:00
That's kooky.
44:01
Mm.
44:02
Okay.
44:02
so the next one, Christine O'Donnell's, I'm not a witch ad and her ad says, I'm not a witch.
44:08
I'm nothing you've heard.
44:09
I'm you.
44:12
So this poor woman apparently has been accused of being a witch., So this one's on mit romney go ahead his binders full of lemon, one of Mitt Romney's biggest flaws, among many, many others, was the fact that this dude simply could not word things in a normal way.
44:30
When he ran for president in 2012, his whole aw shucks Ned Flinders vibe gave us this iconic moment.
44:36
In the town hall presidential debate, Romney was asked about how he'd make sure his cabinet would include diversity, and his answer included the phrase, Binders full of women.
44:47
That may seem tame compared to today's political goffs, but I assure you the social media had a field day with this one.
44:54
Yeah.
44:55
Yeah.
44:56
Not, not what you want to say, dude.
44:59
I don't really remember that happening to you.
45:01
I, no, we were younger and the older you get, you kind of care a little bit more I do remember when, was it quail who shot himself.
45:10
Yeah.
45:12
Well, so you say that right.
45:13
So, Trump, somebody made when he said that Joe Biden's asleep and Kamala's having a dance party with Beyonce and they made the song.
45:20
Yeah.
45:20
This week.
45:21
Yeah.
45:25
It's been a great week.
45:27
Trump's just a trolling.
45:27
Had asked Dylan if he saw that and he's like, I don't know what you're talking about.
45:32
He is not targeted for anything political whatsoever.
45:36
Isn't that crazy?
45:37
Nothing political on his.
45:38
time, he's like, no mom.
45:40
I'm like, is that just old people?
45:41
Tick tock.
45:41
He's like, I guess so.
45:43
It's gotta be so next election.
45:45
Yeah.
45:46
He'll be poor guy.
45:47
I know.
45:48
I'm gonna change my birth date in my, in my app.
45:52
So, Jeb Bush's 2016 presidential campaign was sad from the very beginning, starting with his infamous Jeb logo, but things went downhill fast when Bush was delivering his stump speech to potential voters in New Hampshire and begged the silent room to please clap after delivering one of the speeches, presumably more rousing lines, and he was never heard from again.
46:14
Oh, Jeff, we hardly knew the, and it was still too long.
46:20
So okay, so BuzzFeed is typically very left.
46:25
With their reporting, what they put.
46:27
Vivek just bought majority share.
46:31
Oh, really?
46:32
Of BuzzFeed.
46:33
Oh, really?
46:34
Yeah.
46:35
And he had.
46:36
Hold the whomever runs, whatever I think it was like these topics he wanted covered.
46:41
And if basically, like, if you don't, like, we will be happy to clean house.
46:46
Wow.
46:47
He didn't say it another person that was reporting on this and Not reporting.
46:52
It was like social media.
46:53
It was a person.
46:54
It wasn't reporting.
46:56
The news report said, no, it wasn't.
46:58
It was just a tick tock.
47:01
This is where I get my information from.
47:04
It sounded so serious.
47:05
Like the reporting editor said, no.
47:09
but basically it was like, so he owns whatever the, the share already shared, and said that if there was any issue, he would just buy the rest.
47:20
Elon Musk said that he was thinking about buying CNN and he was gonna take, take one, one platform at a time.
47:34
I wish I had that kind of money.
47:35
Thinking about buying CNN.
47:37
Dude, he's, he trolls too, man.
47:39
Yeah, he does.
47:40
He is kind of funny, like with his trolling.
47:43
So mark, Cuban is that his name?
47:45
The guy that just said that no strong women are around Trump.
47:47
He's on, Shark Tank.
47:49
Yeah.
47:49
Is that his name?
47:49
I think so.
47:50
Okay.
47:51
So he, I feel like you're so smart stuff.
47:54
I'm really not at all.
47:55
I can't even talk.
47:57
It's okay.
47:58
It's what's up here.
48:00
Can't talk.
48:01
I don't do words.
48:03
Words are tough.
48:04
I just like, I scroll.
48:06
You're a scroller.
48:07
Yeah.
48:07
I like it.
48:08
That's where I get my information.
48:09
Well, you retain it well.
48:10
How about that?
48:11
So Mark I'm not going to forget that.
48:12
We're not going to forget that he went to the White House and said, he, uh, said what he said this week, which insulted a lot of people and to the point where the Harris campaign asked him to stop doing interviews.
48:22
Really?
48:24
Can you stop?
48:26
Stop campaign is where we're like pro women.
48:29
and he just put down women.
48:32
So I can see where they would say stop.
48:34
Yeah.
48:35
but anyway, so I guess Elon Musk said something and Mark blocked him on X.
48:44
And so.
48:46
Elon screenshots it or something and puts you do know I own this, right?
48:50
What a freaking flex, I mean He's like you can't block me, right?
49:01
I literally own all of your data My gosh, it's great.
49:06
So, um, I just keep up the trolling guys I'm living.
49:09
Yeah, you know, what's funny is these are all dudes.
49:12
I know it's amazing.
49:15
No, here for all of it That's funny the breakfast club had 50 cent on, Oh, really?
49:21
Not too long ago, in the past couple of weeks.
49:23
Yeah.
49:23
And, it was like towards the end of his interview they said, Oh, the vice president's on the phone and Charlene was trying to get 50 cent to talk to her.
49:30
He got up and he's like, I gotta go.
49:33
He was at, like, they were trying to set him up to do an endorsement almost.
49:36
Yeah.
49:36
50 cent, you know, dude, 50 cent brought.
49:39
Donald Trump up on stage and with him and Tony Ayo these people are killing dude 50 cent is crazy petty too Like I love that.
49:49
They have like a whole petty squad Keep up there.
49:52
There's a petty you're entertaining me.
49:55
I love it.
49:57
Keep it up keep it coming.
49:59
Yeah.
49:59
More of it.
50:00
Yeah.
50:01
Do you remember that Bill and Monica thing?
50:04
I didn't know if you were paying attention to the news then.
50:06
Yes.
50:07
well I was, I was like elementary middle school, elementary school, I think.
50:12
When all of that occurred.
50:13
So I don't know if I quite like grasped right what was going on at that time, right?
50:19
But when I got older, obviously, yeah, I knew yeah, but her life was destroyed her life.
50:23
Oh, yeah.
50:24
I think no, I don't know.
50:26
No, she brought it out.
50:28
She did.
50:29
I know it just But yeah, I mean she didn't get the payoff that she was thinking she was gonna get or No, it was just that's just like the the first Scandal that I remember like being alive for yeah And like you said, I didn't understand a lot What was going on other than he cheated on his wife but other than that i'm Yeah.
50:51
And it seems to be a very, common theme through our history.
50:56
It does.
50:57
It really does.
50:58
Just keep it in your pants.
50:59
Keep it in your pants.
51:00
Then you don't have to worry about a scandal.
51:01
I don't know why it's so difficult.
51:04
Yeah.
51:05
I would never, ever, ever, ever, ever want a, role as a public official.
51:10
Oh no.
51:11
The stuff that comes out of the woodwork about their people's pasts and like, Yeah, it just blows my mind.
51:16
When stuff that you say that you don't mean it in the context that it's taken or it's twisted we both have some moments that we're not very eloquent Like what we're trying to say just doesn't come out right and I can just see some of that stuff getting twisted This big time podcast has ruined both of our political aspirations.
51:36
Oh, okay.
51:38
With all of that.
51:40
So at the start of this election, there was a girl on Tik TOK and she was trying to grow her platform, but she's like, here's every bad thing I've ever done.
51:48
So nobody could ever try to blackmail me.
51:50
I mean, she's listed off as, well, I don't know if I even remember all the things that I have.
51:56
My God, people will come and I'd be like, that might've happened.
51:59
I don't know.
52:00
Sounds like me.
52:02
I could have done it, I don't know.
52:05
I'm not saying I didn't do it, but I'm not saying I did.
52:07
Cause, I don't know.
52:08
There's no video proof.
52:09
Oh my gosh, thank God.
52:13
But like, when the dude came out about Obama, saying that, he had performed things on him.
52:23
After partaking in drugs with him.
52:28
I dunno how to like say it eloquently.
52:30
I know, I know.
52:31
In like a non-offensive way.
52:32
Like dude said he gave Obama a blowjob like And drugs.
52:38
And drugs.
52:39
So, but like could you imagine all this stuff that you never thought you'd ever like have to No.
52:48
If it's true, I don't know.
52:49
Yeah.
52:50
Allegedly, we say that word a lot.
52:51
He never tried to, sue him for defamation or anything, so.
52:54
Oh, really?
52:54
Mm-Hmm.
52:55
Yeah.
52:56
And that was like a big big mm-Hmm.
52:58
news thing.
52:59
Big news thing.
53:00
Yeah.
53:00
Mm-Hmm.
53:01
Judge Joe Brown goes in it a lot about Kamala's history.
53:04
Really?
53:04
Mm-Hmm.
53:05
when she was this.
53:06
Oh yeah.
53:07
Do everything that you've given me recommendations on to listen to or watch.
53:10
I've done it.
53:11
Mm-Hmm.
53:11

53:14

53:15

53:18
Mm, yeah.
53:19
By kim Porter.
53:21
Yeah, see?
53:22
I read that.
53:22
I listened to that.
53:23
Alright, well, speaking of that, Diddy News.
53:26
Yeah.
53:26
Did you see And it's just right now, it's not confirmed.
53:30
this dude, this TikToker, cause that's where I get all my names from.
53:33
Um, this news source said that Eric K 13 said he was in the barbershop getting his haircut in New York.
53:41
And, the student walked in and said his cousin is in the federal prison that did he's in.
53:46
Okay.
53:47
So it was some inside scoop, saying that that's not Diddy.
53:52
In jail diddy's in like cuba We've heard this before that he was in cuba and I heard something else that said he was in cuba.
53:59
Mm hmm um, so they're saying that's his like body double almost so within a couple of days of like this Whatever getting out.
54:07
the feds raided the federal prison what and they're keeping all this like hush hush Why did they raid the federal prison?
54:14
I guess to see if diddy was there brian says that's not him either Allegedly.
54:19
Allegedly.
54:20
Okay, so if you were put in jail.
54:23
Because they were like, did I do?
54:26
Was it fun?
54:26
Did I have a fun time?
54:27
Well, you're put in jail because they were like, you are the body double of, Kim Kardashian.
54:33
So is that not who would we want to be?
54:37
I don't know, but that's definitely not it.
54:39
I just threw somebody out there.
54:43
I don't know.
54:43
I don't want to be a body double.
54:44
I don't want to be in jail.
54:47
Okay, so let me back up.
54:48
If somebody threw me in jail and they said, you're the body double of Kim Kardashian, I'd say believable.
54:55
And then I would say, why am I going to keep quiet?
55:00
I mean, I mean, what do I have to, if I'm already in jail, what do I have to lose?
55:03
It's like, okay, so if you want to go down like conspiracy theory rabbit hole, right.
55:07
They all supposedly have clones.
55:10
Yeah, but their clones still have a brain.
55:13
But do they, I mean, like, are they like, yes, they do.
55:16
They're like.
55:17
Bread for this though, like basically, but they still have to be able to function in like that environment Yeah and have conversations and but if you're like Whenever you're created, right?
55:31
Are they i'm assuming they're not born from babies?
55:33
Because then they wouldn't be able to use them in present time Yeah, i'm assuming that they create Like, so I'm thinking like 3D printer.
55:42
No, that would take way too long.
55:44
On Grey's Anatomy, it took so long for them to print that heart.
55:47
Can you imagine a whole human?
55:48
No, that's not, that's, that's.
55:52
That's not a picture I had.
55:54
Like, it's like, it like comes down from like a beam.
55:58
Where are we going with this?
56:01
So it might be a clone, not just like a lookalike.
56:04
I don't know if it's true.
56:04
I want him in jail.
56:06
Oh, absolutely.
56:07
There's so many conspiracies out there.
56:09
There are.
56:09
And you know what frustrates me the most about this?
56:12
It's we're never gonna know the truth.
56:14
What's true what's not true and i'm like you I want to know the things about this one Like give me all the info.
56:19
Yeah, but there was a list released of like 20 people that were the most frequent visitors of his one of the presidential candidates was, is supposedly there's tapes out there of really of her.
56:34
Oh, okay.
56:35
I mean, I don't well, she dated Montel Williams before she got into politics.
56:40
Okay.
56:41
It's also talked about on the, not about the tapes, but about Judge Joe Brown, all the team, Judge Judy's husband.
56:51
Not accurate, not accurate.
56:53
Wowzers.
56:55
If and when all this gets out.
56:58
Yeah.
56:59
Bananas.
57:00
I'm almost happy just living in my little world of, I want to know this stuff but I want it to be so distant from me that it doesn't, like, I don't feel like it's real.
57:08
Does that make sense?
57:10
I want my head in the sand.
57:11
I want a movie.
57:12
Yeah.
57:13
Spriggy down in a movie.
57:14
Yeah.
57:15
That's what I had for today.
57:16
That's fun.
57:17
Although my notes were awful and I was very scatterbrained.
57:20
So I apologize, people.
57:21
I thought you were great because I had no notes and didn't even look anything up.
57:26
So, you know, once again, You're the brains behind the operation.
57:29
That's so sad.
57:32
Imagine if we had somebody who really, like, was amazeballs.
57:38
Well, they are.
57:42
We do.
57:42
We have Rex.
57:44
We're, we're great at what we do.
57:46
We are.
57:47
And I don't think people come here for serious intelligence.
57:51
No, you're right.
57:53
But we love you guys.
57:55
And you're obviously our people.
57:56
Are we moving on to MFA whole?
57:58
I think so.
57:58
Okay.
57:59
Unless you had anything else.
58:00
No, no, no, no.
58:01
I've said enough foolishness.
58:02
Okay.
58:03
Am I the a hole for being an adult who doesn't care about politics?
58:06
Nope.
58:06
Nope.
58:08
I'm 23, have two friends who are very strongly opinionated.
58:13
You know, you sound like me.
58:15
Opinionated.
58:17
That's still not right.
58:18
Opinionated on politics.
58:20
Self-described as strongly left wing.
58:23
I'm not, couldn't give less of a shit about it.
58:26
when the time comes to vote, I'll consider.
58:28
Party manifestos, policies, and history.
58:31
Does their history indicate their promises are actually what I should expect from them?
58:35
Before voting.
58:36
Otherwise, I don't follow it as I find life to be stressful and difficult enough.
58:40
Preach.
58:42
Said friends told me I should be more into politics.
58:45
Joked that it was quite childish to not follow what's going on in the world.
58:48
Am I in the wrong here?
58:49
No.
58:51
Not at all.
58:51
Your friends are, are the a holes and tell them to mind their own business.
58:57
Right.
58:57
If they don't want to respect you and your, your views or your non views or no views at all, then.
59:06
That's like getting mad at somebody because they're not religious.
59:09
Yeah.
59:10
Like get, I understand, you know, having your opinion about it, but to get mad at somebody.
59:17
Don't push it on people.
59:18
No.
59:20
I don't like your friends.
59:22
You need new friends.
59:23
Amen.
59:23
Yeah.
59:24
And I agree with you.
59:25
There's too much.
59:27
Yeah.
59:28
In the world.
59:29
Well, and then that goes back to conspiracies.
59:31
It doesn't even freaking matter what we say, you know, with.
59:35
Voting or.
59:36
We could hit on that.
59:37
Yeah, it might take too long.
59:38
Oh my god.
59:39
Yeah, yeah.
59:41
All the stuff that's coming out right now about voting fraud.
59:44
Anyway, no dude, you're not the a hole.
59:46
You're not.
59:47
You're not.
59:48
Yeah.
59:49
Your friends are.
59:50
I think you're great.
59:53
You can be our friend.
59:54
You'll fit in here.
59:55
I mean you're 23 and we are not, but I think we'll be fine.
59:58
We act like we're 12.
1:00:01
Good point.
1:00:01
We got another one?
1:00:02
We do.
1:00:03
Okay.
1:00:03
You want me to do this one?
1:00:05
Okay.
1:00:05
Am I the a hole for enforcing a no talking politics rule at my dinner party?
1:00:10
No.
1:00:11
I had a Zoom dinner party with lots of family and some friends recently.
1:00:15
That sounds terrible.
1:00:16
Is that a thing?
1:00:18
Maybe this is in COVID?
1:00:19
Does it have a date on it?
1:00:21
A four years ago.
1:00:22
Yeah.
1:00:22
Okay.
1:00:22
Okay.
1:00:23
So this was during COVID where I didn't have any zoom dinner party.
1:00:26
I didn't either.
1:00:27
Oh so in that time, that would have been great.
1:00:30
Cause that was rough.
1:00:31
Um, there are people who tend to be very passionate about their politics.
1:00:34
They agree on almost everything, but the things they disagree on, they disagree on strongly.
1:00:40
I wanted this to be a fun night free from debating or anything else where guests would feel obligated to take sides.
1:00:50
Okay, I wanted this to be a fun night free from debating or anything where guests would feel obligated to take sides.
1:00:57
And I'm Inundated with rhetoric and morbid, is that the right word?
1:01:02
It is.
1:01:02
Predictions in my regular life enough as it is.
1:01:06
I had planned this evening as a fun oasis for all of us.
1:01:10
I feel like he just uses this word through this whole thing.
1:01:14
Okay.
1:01:14
I think you're an a hole for using big words.
1:01:19
Not for your politics thing, but just, you're, you're, you're know it all.
1:01:24
Okay.
1:01:25
Show off.
1:01:27
So when I sent out the invite, I said everyone was welcome to come as long as they agreed to not bring up politics and to try to keep current events focused on things happening in their lives, rather than stuff from the news, because this is about catching up each other.
1:01:40
I mostly got very positive feedback or some people just didn't say anything.
1:01:44
But RSVP, yes, when we were having the actual event and someone brought up the election rather bluntly, it wasn't like related to what we had been discussing or.
1:01:53
Indirectly mentioned it was a non sequitur about the election.
1:02:00
This is another one where I really feel like you've set me up.
1:02:03
So I changed the topic back to movies we've been watching, but they quickly returned to the election.
1:02:09
I gently reminded that we were trying to avoid politics for tonight, and the person said, paraphrasing here, don't remember word for word what they said, stop trying to police what I say.
1:02:20
How can we just sit around talking about movies when the future of so many people's lives is about to be decided?
1:02:26
I don't feel right to just chat about movies like the world isn't collapsing around us.
1:02:32
Many people don't have the privilege of not thinking about these things.
1:02:35
It's Entitled of us just to carry on like everything is okay.
1:02:39
If no one else will speak out, I will.
1:02:42
You know what I would do at that time?
1:02:44
I would like, kick him out of the room.
1:02:47
Goodbye.
1:02:47
Oh, just zoom him, zoom him out.
1:02:49
You're fired.
1:02:51
And then their little block would just be, I didn't mean to make her uncomfortable, but there's a point that plenty of people Aren't able to shut off their concerns for a fun night of relaxing with family and friends This particular guest is a lot more plugged into social issues than I am So, I don't know if we just have different styles or if my no politics center conversation Attempt actually made me an a hole.
1:03:14
No.
1:03:15
No, I don't think so either would have kicked her out.
1:03:17
I would have.
1:03:18
Yeah.
1:03:18
I would have kicked her out of the room.
1:03:20
Well, especially like, okay, so it sounds like these people are all friends because this is a thing.
1:03:26
They, they know each other.
1:03:27
They're all kind of the same vibe politically.
1:03:29
They all, whatever.
1:03:31
So it sounds like they talk about politics enough, in my opinion.
1:03:34
Yeah.
1:03:34
Like sometimes, I want to talk about other things.
1:03:36
Like, for instance, I love my football people and I love talking about football, but sometimes I don't want to talk about football.
1:03:41
Let's just talk about something else.
1:03:44
Like politics.
1:03:45
I'm just kidding.
1:03:46
Yeah.
1:03:46
But I mean, I get it.
1:03:49
I totally get it.
1:03:50
Meredith, I'm here for you for all your mind numbing conversations.
1:03:55
That we snort laugh too.
1:03:58
Can't believe that just happened.
1:03:59
It was awesome.
1:04:02
Yeah, so you're not the a hole.
1:04:04
Oh, and your friend would have been kicked out very quickly.
1:04:07
Yeah, agreed.
1:04:07
I would have said, this is my dinner party.
1:04:09
I want to know what happened.
1:04:10
Is that Is that it?
1:04:13
Is that the end of that?
1:04:13
There was no update on that one.
1:04:15
But I don't feel like he was.
1:04:17
I don't think so.
1:04:18
And if you couldn't respect your Requests and she shouldn't have come.
1:04:21
Yeah, it's kind of like when you go to a work dinner party.
1:04:23
You're like, okay We're not talking about work.
1:04:25
Yeah, because you want I want to get to know you about something other than just work Yeah, which that sounds miserable Not here for the work functions, um, okay, I think that wraps it up.
1:04:35
Yeah, so next week we're doing friend drama.
1:04:37
Friend drama.
1:04:38
and we would really appreciate you guys liking, sharing, doing all the things.
1:04:42
Leave a five star review.
1:04:44
Do it.
1:04:44
Do it, And, I think you've had enough of us not being able to talk today.
1:04:50
Thank you, though.
1:04:51
We love y'all.
1:04:51
We love you.
1:04:52
Bye.
