  SPEAKER_03: The Doc and Caroline Podcast.
• 0:09
  SPEAKER_03: And uh you know what I I I really sincerely believe we should explore changing the name of the show to the to the cops and nurses show and put some dynamic music behind us and it'll be like it'll be like a buddy cop like a buddy cop show.
• 0:22
  SPEAKER_08: No.
• 0:23
  SPEAKER_03: You look so rested.
• 0:24
  SPEAKER_03: You're you're actually on vacation.
• 0:26
  SPEAKER_03: Have you ever taken this much time off at the same time?
• 0:29
  SPEAKER_03: I know not recently, but have you not that I remember taking like a couple weeks off and at the same time?
• 0:35
  SPEAKER_03: That must feel pretty good, huh?
• 0:36
  SPEAKER_08: It does.
• 0:37
  SPEAKER_08: It feels great.
• 0:38
  SPEAKER_03: I don't know how you stay on your feet for twelve hours uh when you're at the clinic and uh without I mean you you literally have to squeeze in time to eat to use the bathroom.
• 0:48
  SPEAKER_03: And why are people piling in the urgent cares?
• 0:50
  SPEAKER_03: I still haven't figured that that thing out.
• 0:52
  SPEAKER_08: Well, the main thing is no one can ever get in to see their primary care.
• 0:57
  SPEAKER_03: Oh, that's right.
• 0:58
  SPEAKER_08: Yeah, so they come to us for medication refills, for their runny nose, for you know, things that they would typically go to the primary care for.
• 1:07
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah, and of course you have your um your own practice now, and that takes up your time, and it's a labor of love for sure.
• 1:12
  SPEAKER_03: You love seeing your patients in your private practice, but now that you're an entrepreneur and provider of your own shop, I have some extraordinary news.
• 1:21
  SPEAKER_03: Following your plan, I think I discovered something.
• 1:23
  SPEAKER_03: I found out a lot of it's mental, and you and you've told me that before, and we've talked about that, how getting a hold of your health and taking some personal accountability for your health, a lot of it's mental.
• 1:33
  SPEAKER_03: And I thought, and I kind of discovered this uh for myself this week, that I used to think w if I ate clean, we talked about it last week a little bit.
• 1:41
  SPEAKER_03: I just love like apple pie and you know, just the stuff that everybody loves.
• 1:46
  SPEAKER_03: I even love, you know, the sna all the snacks and all that stuff.
• 1:48
  SPEAKER_03: I grew, I kind of grew up on it and I'm used to eating that stuff, but I found out after believing for so long that if I eat clean, I'm gonna I'm gonna give up so much, especially once alcohol was was out.
• 2:02
  SPEAKER_03: I'm gonna give up so much that I'm not gonna be happy.
• 2:05
  SPEAKER_03: I'm not because because breaking bread and eating at good food is part of our it's more than our culture.
• 2:10
  SPEAKER_03: It's it's right, it's relational almost, right?
• 2:13
  SPEAKER_08: Right.
• 2:14
  SPEAKER_08: No, go ahead.
• 2:15
  SPEAKER_03: Well, I was just gonna say that when I started eating clean, instead of feeling miserable because I wasn't getting what I what I desire, what what I crave, you know, filling those cravings or whatever, I found out that you start to feel so good.
• 2:28
  SPEAKER_03: This is I never considered that if that that giving up all of the stuff that I, you know, especially all that snacky, high fructose corn syrup, and then the drinks and and all the alcohol and stuff.
• 2:39
  SPEAKER_03: Once I gave gave all that up, I started to feel so freaking good that I didn't it wasn't like I was missing anything.
• 2:45
  SPEAKER_03: I don't I don't feel like I'm missing anything food-wise.
• 2:47
  SPEAKER_08: Me either.
• 2:48
  SPEAKER_08: Because you stop eating that, but then you start eating so many new things that you didn't eat before, and you discover all kinds of things that you love.
• 2:57
  SPEAKER_03: What made you think about the goat cheese?
• 2:59
  SPEAKER_03: Because we were at at HEB, Texas Texas Staple, but uh we went to HEB and got and got the goat cheese.
• 3:06
  SPEAKER_03: I don't know what made you think about it.
• 3:07
  SPEAKER_08: I don't remember what we were watching, but I learned that the uh casein protein in goat milk is different than the casein protein in cow's milk.
• 3:18
  SPEAKER_08: Yeah, and that's what gives my belly a hard time.
• 3:22
  SPEAKER_08: It's not the lactose, it's the casein.
• 3:24
  SPEAKER_03: Oh.
• 3:25
  SPEAKER_08: So, you know, I just wanted to try it.
• 3:27
  SPEAKER_03: Well, we got this uh this real, this high quality uh goat cheese, and we put some dried cranberries with it.
• 3:35
  SPEAKER_03: Some craisins.
• 3:36
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah, some craisins.
• 3:37
  SPEAKER_03: And and you know what?
• 3:38
  SPEAKER_03: It was I I ate it and I and I was just like I ate a piece of cake.
• 3:42
  SPEAKER_03: It was delicious.
• 3:43
  SPEAKER_03: It was so good, wasn't it?
• 3:44
  SPEAKER_03: It really was.
• 3:45
  SPEAKER_03: And and so, um, and it wasn't heavy, it was didn't have any anything artificial, no chemicals, any of that stuff in it.
• 3:51
  SPEAKER_08: So I remember um in class, I went to the School of Applied Functional Medicine.
• 3:57
  SPEAKER_08: Tracy Harris is the founder, and she is fantastic.
• 4:00
  SPEAKER_08: But I remember her saying in the very beginning, there will come a time when you eat a sweet potato for and that will be like your dessert because that sweetness will be more than what you need.
• 4:13
  SPEAKER_08: And other things that you typically eat with sugar will be too overwhelmingly sweet.
• 4:20
  SPEAKER_03: For the functional medicine part of it, I I just wanted to encourage anybody that is is thinking about uh making a hard turn in terms of diet and all that, it that it's not going to be miserable.
• 4:30
  SPEAKER_03: If you can get through it and kind of wean yourself off of, you know, fast food and and and the snacky type stuff, after a while, you'll start to feel so good you won't even want that stuff.
• 4:39
  SPEAKER_03: And, you know, that's been my experience, and I hope that encourages uh encourages you.
• 4:44
  SPEAKER_08: And sometimes, even small changes, it it makes a big difference over time.
• 4:48
  SPEAKER_08: I'm Carolyn Kilgore, founder and provider at TrueHealing Healthcare.net.
• 4:53
  SPEAKER_03: Why functional medicine?
• 4:55
  SPEAKER_08: Because you're more than just a list of symptoms.
• 4:57
  SPEAKER_08: Traditional care often masks the problem, but functional medicine digs deeper to find the root cause.
• 5:03
  SPEAKER_03: What makes true healing health care different?
• 5:06
  SPEAKER_08: We move away from the one size fits all approach.
• 5:09
  SPEAKER_08: We look at your environment and your lifestyle to create a roadmap tailored specifically for you.
• 5:14
  SPEAKER_03: What if someone really wants to make a change?
• 5:17
  SPEAKER_08: If you're tired of feeling fine and want to start feeling great, it's about proactive wellness, not just reactive treatment.
• 5:24
  SPEAKER_03: What's the deal with telemedicine?
• 5:26
  SPEAKER_08: As long as you're 18 and have an internet connection, you can have a visit in the privacy of your own home or anywhere else in Texas.
• 5:33
  SPEAKER_08: We're able to order labs or prescribe or whatever else you need.
• 5:37
  SPEAKER_03: True Healing Healthcare.net for the great state of Texas.
• 5:43
  SPEAKER_03: At the height of COVID in Cincinnati, I was on the endorsement committee for the uh fraternal order of police.
• 5:50
  SPEAKER_03: So all the politicians that wanted the FOP endorsement would come and present their plan or their politics or their policy.
• 5:57
  SPEAKER_08: So you had a wallow in the mud.
• 5:59
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah, I mean, we had senators, state senators, state reps, elected officials, judges, council people, uh the mayors, candidates, all that came in front of our committee and told us, you know, what their plans were.
• 6:11
  SPEAKER_03: And, you know, I was always very engaged with them.
• 6:13
  SPEAKER_03: And so Dr.
• 6:15
  SPEAKER_03: Um, I can't think of her last name, well, her first name rather, uh, Dr.
• 6:18
  SPEAKER_03: Samarco.
• 6:19
  SPEAKER_03: She was running for Hamilton County coroner unopposed in Cincinnati in 2020.
• 6:25
  SPEAKER_03: So she come, but she still comes to the FOP.
• 6:27
  SPEAKER_03: You know, the coroner's office has a working relationship with the police department.
• 6:31
  SPEAKER_03: And she and she comes to our committee and sits in a chair right across from uh myself and the other officers on the on the endorsement committee.
• 6:38
  SPEAKER_03: I asked her at some point, I said, Doc, this thing with COVID.
• 6:42
  SPEAKER_03: I said, if somebody falls out of a tree and passes away, they also happen to have COVID, but the death obviously is from the tree fall.
• 6:49
  SPEAKER_03: I said, How was that listed on the death certificate?
• 6:52
  SPEAKER_03: And she said, Well, we do have we did have to test the remains because we were sending the remains to funeral homes, to funeral parlors very often uh back then, and we didn't know if it was transmissible from remains to living persons.
• 7:06
  SPEAKER_03: We didn't know.
• 7:07
  SPEAKER_08: There were a lot of unknowns in the beginning.
• 7:09
  SPEAKER_03: In the very beginning, yeah.
• 7:10
  SPEAKER_03: So she says, uh, we did test for it, and we did have to know whether or not they were positive or negative for uh COVID, regardless of the cause of death.
• 7:18
  SPEAKER_03: I said, okay, so once you have a cause of death that's defined, fall fell out of a tree, eaten by a lion, whatever, and they test positive for COVID, but the but the cause of death is obviously not the virus.
• 7:29
  SPEAKER_03: How is it listed finally on the death certificate?
• 7:32
  SPEAKER_03: The answer was it's listed as a COVID death, regardless car accident, whatever the cause of death was, if that's how they got the numbers.
• 7:39
  SPEAKER_03: And that's why the numbers were so inflated.
• 7:41
  SPEAKER_03: But the inflated numbers were not the only issue.
• 7:44
  SPEAKER_03: Rand Paul, senator from Kentucky, confronted Dr.
• 7:46
  SPEAKER_03: Fauci about the origin.
• 7:48
  SPEAKER_03: And I know this is this is kind of old news, COVID, but we just saw the documentary, Thank You, Dr.
• 7:53
  SPEAKER_03: Fauci, and it was mind-blowing.
• 7:55
  SPEAKER_03: Anyway, here's here's Rand Paul confronting Fauci.
• 7:58
  SPEAKER_01: Even the NIH now admits that Eco Health Alliance did perform experiments in Wuhan that created viruses not found in nature that actually did gain in lethality.
• 8:08
  SPEAKER_01: The facts are clear.
• 8:09
  SPEAKER_01: The NIH did fund gain of function research in Wuhan, despite your protestations.
• 8:15
  SPEAKER_01: You can deny it all you want, but even the Chinese authors of the paper, in their paper, admit that viruses not found in nature were created, and yes, they gained in infectivity.
• 8:27
  SPEAKER_01: Your persistent denials, though, are not simply a stain on your reputation, but are a clear and present danger to the country and to the world.
• 8:35
  SPEAKER_01: As Professor Kevin Esfeld of MIT has written, gain of function research looks like a gamble that civilization can't afford to risk.
• 8:44
  SPEAKER_01: And yet here we are again with you steadfast in your denials.
• 8:48
  SPEAKER_01: Why does it matter?
• 8:50
  SPEAKER_01: Because gain of function research with laboratory-created viruses not found in nature could cause a pandemic even worse the next time.
• 8:59
  SPEAKER_01: We're suffering today from one that has a mortality of approximately 1 percent.
• 9:03
  SPEAKER_01: They're experimenting with viruses that have mortalities of between 15 and 50 percent.
• 9:09
  SPEAKER_01: Yes, our civilization could be at risk from one of these viruses.
• 9:14
  SPEAKER_01: Experiments that combine unknown viruses with known pandemic-causing viruses are incredibly risky.
• 9:20
  SPEAKER_01: Experiments that combine unknown viruses with coronaviruses that have as much as 50 percent mortality could endanger civilization as we know it.
• 9:30
  SPEAKER_01: And here you sit, unwilling to accept any responsibility for the current pandemic and unwilling to take any steps to prevent gain of function research from possibly unleashing an even more deadly virus.
• 9:43
  SPEAKER_01: You mislead the public by saying that the published viruses could not be COVID.
• 9:48
  SPEAKER_01: Well, exactly no one is alleging that.
• 9:50
  SPEAKER_01: No one is alleging that the published viruses by the Chinese are COVID.
• 9:54
  SPEAKER_01: What we are saying is that this was risky type of research, gain-of-function research.
• 10:00
  SPEAKER_01: It was risky to share this with the Chin with the Chinese and that COVID may have been created from a not yet revealed virus.
• 10:07
  SPEAKER_01: We don't anticipate the Chinese are going to reveal the virus if it came from their lab.
• 10:13
  SPEAKER_01: You know that, but you continue to mislead.
• 10:16
  SPEAKER_01: You continue to support NIH money going to Wuhan.
• 10:19
  SPEAKER_01: You continue to say, Do you trust the Chinese scientist?
• 10:22
  SPEAKER_01: You appear to have learned nothing from this pandemic.
• 10:26
  SPEAKER_01: Will you today finally take some responsibility for funding gain of function research in Wuhan?
• 10:32
  SPEAKER_02: We have spent, not us but outside bodies, a considerable amount of effort to give a more precise definition to the type of research that is of concern that might lead to a dangerous situation.
• 10:48
  SPEAKER_02: You are aware of that.
• 10:49
  SPEAKER_02: That is called P3CO.
• 10:52
  SPEAKER_02: We are aware that you deleted gain of function from the NIH website.
• 10:56
  SPEAKER_02: Well, I can get back to that in a moment if we have time.
• 10:59
  SPEAKER_02: But let's get back to the operating framework and guide rails of which we operate under, and you have ignored them.
• 11:07
  SPEAKER_02: The guidelines are very, very clear that you have to be dealing with a pathogen that clearly is shown and very likely to be highly transmissible in an uncontrollable way in humans and to have a high degree of morbidity and mortality, and that you do experiments to enhance that, hence the word EPPP, enhanced pathogens of potemics.
• 11:36
  SPEAKER_01: So when Drupal Health Alliance took the virus in 1901 and combined it with WIV1 and caused a recombinant virus that doesn't exist in nature, and it made mice sicker, mice that have humanized cells, you're saying that that's not gain of function research.
• 11:52
  SPEAKER_01: According to the framework and guidelines.
• 11:55
  SPEAKER_01: So what you're doing is defining away gain of function.
• 11:58
  SPEAKER_01: You're simply saying it doesn't exist because you changed the definition on the NIH website.
• 12:02
  SPEAKER_01: This is terrible, and you're you're completely trying to escape the idea that we should do something about trying to prevent a pandemic from leaking from a lab.
• 12:11
  SPEAKER_01: There's the preponderance of evidence now points towards this coming from the lab.
• 12:15
  SPEAKER_01: And what you've done is change the definition on your website to try to cover your ass, basically.
• 12:20
  SPEAKER_00: Welcome to this Kingdom Minute with your host, Kimberly Blakes on the Doc and Carolyn Podcast.
• 12:25
  SPEAKER_00: We have gotten to such a place that our politics have become our God.
• 12:30
  SPEAKER_00: And it is a slap in the face to the Father.
• 12:32
  SPEAKER_00: He is our God.
• 12:33
  SPEAKER_00: He is one God.
• 12:34
  SPEAKER_00: He's the only God that is supposed to sit on the throne of your heart and your life, not your politics.
• 12:40
  SPEAKER_00: Now, I understand that politics are gonna be a front.
• 12:48
  SPEAKER_00: We can't do a single thing about that.
• 12:49
  SPEAKER_00: This is why when Christians come to me and say things like, Christians are not supposed to be in politics, it tells me that they're wholly ignorant and unlearned.
• 12:59
  SPEAKER_00: Because if they don't understand, then even if they don't think God is into politics, Satan is into politics and God is into governance.
• 13:06
  SPEAKER_00: And if you look at the entire book of Kings, it was all about taking up leaders, putting up a leader, and taking another one down.
• 13:13
  SPEAKER_00: It was taking land, it was ruling and conquering and everything else.
• 13:16
  SPEAKER_00: All of that was political stuff.
• 13:18
  SPEAKER_00: Just because it didn't have the same verbiage, it does not mean it's a different thing.
• 13:23
  SPEAKER_00: Thank you for tuning in to this Kingdom Minute with your host, Kimberly Blakes, on the Doc and Carolyn podcast.
• 13:28
  SPEAKER_00: You can find me on Facebook at Kimberly Blakes, and I also have a podcast called The Faith Frame Perspective.
• 13:34
  SPEAKER_00: I'll see you guys there.
• 13:36
  SPEAKER_03: You are officially on vacation.
• 13:38
  SPEAKER_03: You got the relaxed look on your face.
• 13:40
  SPEAKER_03: You look at like you and are are we, let me ask you this.
• 13:42
  SPEAKER_03: Are we packed yet?
• 13:45
  SPEAKER_08: No, but I have most of my stuff together and I've worn out.
• 13:50
  SPEAKER_03: I've worn off on you.
• 13:52
  SPEAKER_03: Or what would it be?
• 13:52
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah, I've worn off.
• 13:54
  SPEAKER_08: Oh no, you haven't, because I still have two days left, so I'll be packed tomorrow.
• 13:57
  SPEAKER_03: But you used to be packed like a month early.
• 13:59
  SPEAKER_03: You'd be, what is this, April?
• 14:00
  SPEAKER_03: So you would have been packed.
• 14:01
  SPEAKER_08: Yeah, but didn't you see my big stack of clothes that you're gonna be?
• 14:03
  SPEAKER_03: First of the year, like January, you would have been like I have my whole stack of clothes in there.
• 14:08
  SPEAKER_08: I only have to get my hanging clothes, put my clothes in the suitcase.
• 14:11
  SPEAKER_03: Now are you packing my stuff this time?
• 14:13
  SPEAKER_08: Do you want me to pack your stuff?
• 14:15
  SPEAKER_03: I don't know.
• 14:16
  SPEAKER_03: I guess so.
• 14:19
  SPEAKER_03: So the thing with cruising, we're we're going on a uh on a on a trip to uh the Western Caribbean, and we've been there a few times.
• 14:26
  SPEAKER_03: It's uh Costa Maya, Mexico, Honduras, and uh Cazumel, Mexico.
• 14:32
  SPEAKER_03: We've been there a few times.
• 14:33
  SPEAKER_03: We've we're we're going this is our first cruise going as diamond members of the Crown and Royal Um Crown and Anchor, Royal Caribbean Rebox.
• 14:44
  SPEAKER_03: Think about McGrankin days closer to the cruise we get.
• 14:49
  SPEAKER_03: But you know, and what's funny about that is the diamond uh status uh and the crown and anchor program on Royal is the I think the big reason everybody wants to hit that level is because you get four free drinks that are up to$14 each or something a day.
• 15:06
  SPEAKER_03: A day, yeah.
• 15:07
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah, four uh full alcoholic beverages per day.
• 15:10
  SPEAKER_03: And and of course we reach this level, and I don't drink anymore, so you know.
• 15:14
  SPEAKER_08: Yeah, but we still get I mean, I really only drink coffee, tea, and water, but you know, now I can get juice or whatever I want.
• 15:23
  SPEAKER_03: And we'll use it for sure.
• 15:25
  SPEAKER_03: But people are so excited to reach this level because you can finally save on that drink package.
• 15:30
  SPEAKER_03: Right.
• 15:31
  SPEAKER_03: But uh, but we've been on some really nice cruises uh over the years, and we have had the incredible blessing, even if they're years apart.
• 15:39
  SPEAKER_03: Every time we cruise, we've always done it in a suite.
• 15:42
  SPEAKER_03: And uh the first cruise, we um we sailed out of Puerto Rico and went to the Southern Caribbean, and you got to go to one of the islands that you really, really like.
• 15:53
  SPEAKER_03: You like St.
• 15:54
  SPEAKER_03: Lucia.
• 15:54
  SPEAKER_08: Yes, I do.
• 15:55
  SPEAKER_08: So pretty.
• 15:56
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah, it really is nice.
• 15:57
  SPEAKER_03: We went I'd like to go back.
• 15:58
  SPEAKER_03: We went to a bird sanctuary there.
• 16:01
  SPEAKER_03: Um we um went zip lining.
• 16:05
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah, we went zip, yeah, zipling.
• 16:07
  SPEAKER_03: That was the first time I ever ziplined, I think, right?
• 16:10
  SPEAKER_08: I think so.
• 16:10
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah, that was a lot of fun.
• 16:11
  SPEAKER_03: And uh saw a pineapple growing.
• 16:14
  SPEAKER_03: I had no idea that they grew out of the ground.
• 16:16
  SPEAKER_08: I didn't either, I always thought they were on a tree, right?
• 16:19
  SPEAKER_03: And so that was a lot of fun.
• 16:20
  SPEAKER_03: Then we also went to St.
• 16:22
  SPEAKER_03: Kitts, I think St.
• 16:23
  SPEAKER_03: Martin on that one.
• 16:24
  SPEAKER_08: Yeah, um I better the Saints, St.
• 16:26
  SPEAKER_08: Lucius, St.
• 16:27
  SPEAKER_08: Kitts, St.
• 16:28
  SPEAKER_08: Martin, St.
• 16:30
  SPEAKER_08: Is it St.
• 16:31
  SPEAKER_08: Bart's?
• 16:32
  SPEAKER_03: Uh or St.
• 16:32
  SPEAKER_03: Croix, I don't know.
• 16:34
  SPEAKER_08: But we didn't go to St.
• 16:35
  SPEAKER_08: Croix.
• 16:36
  SPEAKER_03: Well, that was another fun vacation.
• 16:38
  SPEAKER_03: We went to uh Barcelona.
• 16:39
  SPEAKER_03: That was one, not Barcelona.
• 16:41
  SPEAKER_03: I always say that it's Barbados, but I always say Barcelona.
• 16:44
  SPEAKER_03: Uh we went to Barbados, and that's where um the singeriana is from.
• 16:50
  SPEAKER_03: And and what we did there, and I don't I don't even believe you can recommend doing that now because of the tribal travel advisories.
• 16:57
  SPEAKER_03: In fact, you probably should never do this.
• 17:00
  SPEAKER_03: I don't know why we just did it kind of sight unseen in in Barbados, but we walked out to the edge of the pier and just uh got a taxi driver and said, Hey, what do you typically make in a day?
• 17:11
  SPEAKER_03: And uh and he told us it was 70 bucks or something, and we uh had him just drive us around the island for the whole time we were on shore.
• 17:17
  SPEAKER_03: So it was fun.
• 17:18
  SPEAKER_03: But what beautiful, beautiful island.
• 17:20
  SPEAKER_03: Um, in fact, it was so nice we even thought about man, it'd be nice to buy a house here because the real estate was incredibly affordable.
• 17:27
  SPEAKER_03: And the big, the big food there, and this is worth mentioning, the big food there was uh flying fish.
• 17:32
  SPEAKER_03: Flying fish, right?
• 17:34
  SPEAKER_03: And what was nice is when we're when we were sailing there, uh through the southern Caribbean, we were in a in a body in a part of the water, and these flying fish just went airborne.
• 17:45
  SPEAKER_03: Uh I mean hundreds of them.
• 17:46
  SPEAKER_08: I was just thinking that in the other parts, like when we go to where else have we?
• 17:53
  SPEAKER_08: I mean, the other places I've not seen those fish.
• 17:56
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah, we went to Grand Cayman before we've been Western Caribbean a bunch of times.
• 18:00
  SPEAKER_03: Um so no, I've never seen those before, but but what's funny is yeah, we we went through a school of them on this Southern Caribbean cruise on the way to um to Barbados, and we like I said, we paid a driver just to drive us around the island.
• 18:14
  SPEAKER_03: Again, don't I don't really recommend that.
• 18:16
  SPEAKER_03: I don't I don't really understand why we did that.
• 18:18
  SPEAKER_08: Yeah, don't be dumb like us.
• 18:20
  SPEAKER_03: But but we actually had a great time and he took us to and we kind of said, listen, we'd like to go to a place where you eat.
• 18:26
  SPEAKER_03: Don't you know, we don't want to go to a tour spot.
• 18:28
  SPEAKER_03: But it was during um World Cup soccer, and he took us to a spot right on the s on the ocean, a little hut.
• 18:35
  SPEAKER_03: It wasn't fancy at all, but it was filled with people from from literally all over the world.
• 18:40
  SPEAKER_03: There were people there cheering, you know, there were multiple screens inside of this hut-like place, and there were people from all over the world cheering their soccer team.
• 18:49
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah, and on the menu was this flying fish.
• 18:52
  SPEAKER_03: And I was like, what is what is the deal with this?
• 18:54
  SPEAKER_03: I mean, do you get you order wings or what do you what do you get there?
• 18:58
  SPEAKER_03: And but it was yeah, it was quite tasty.
• 19:01
  SPEAKER_03: It was fried and and uh delicious.
• 19:03
  SPEAKER_03: So uh have you ever heard of Kathleen Madigan?
• 19:07
  SPEAKER_03: I have not.
• 19:08
  SPEAKER_03: Uh she's a stand-up comic, and I always wonder why we run into people that do not like cruising.
• 19:16
  SPEAKER_03: And even and especially there are some that don't know anything about it.
• 19:20
  SPEAKER_03: They've never been on a cruise before, but it just has what what is the what is the big pushback about cruising?
• 19:27
  SPEAKER_08: The thing that I hear is that in their mind, everything is crowded and um you know, you're just packed in with all these people.
• 19:37
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah, because of the numbers.
• 19:38
  SPEAKER_03: I I think this ship that we're going on uh for this vacation, whole uh double occupancy, 6,000.
• 19:45
  SPEAKER_07: Yeah.
• 19:45
  SPEAKER_03: So but the and and I guess it seems like on on the confines of the ship, maybe that's but it's never I've never felt like that.
• 19:52
  SPEAKER_08: No.
• 20:06
  SPEAKER_03: Right.
• 20:07
  SPEAKER_08: But even I mean, unless you go to one of the like their dance parties or something like that.
• 20:13
  SPEAKER_08: Oh, yeah, but you expect that.
• 20:14
  SPEAKER_08: We don't typically do that.
• 20:16
  SPEAKER_08: And you know, because I'm with people all day at work, you know, I might see 30, 40, 50 people a day.
• 20:26
  SPEAKER_08: I'm all peopled out.
• 20:27
  SPEAKER_08: So when I go on vacation, I just want my people.
• 20:31
  SPEAKER_03: And well, this time what what's nice about this one is uh families going.
• 20:35
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah, you have your sister going, you have in-laws going.
• 20:38
  SPEAKER_08: And I'll enjoy being with them.
• 20:40
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
• 20:41
  SPEAKER_08: And um but I never feel overcrowded.
• 20:44
  SPEAKER_08: I can't stay in crowds.
• 20:46
  SPEAKER_08: I hate them.
• 20:47
  SPEAKER_07: Yeah.
• 20:47
  SPEAKER_08: So but I love it.
• 20:49
  SPEAKER_08: And I don't I think even when we didn't stay well, we stayed in a junior suite that one time.
• 20:55
  SPEAKER_08: Yeah.
• 20:56
  SPEAKER_08: And it was nice, and I I didn't feel we didn't have all the extra Yeah, you you have private dining and all the stuff with the with a regular suite.
• 21:05
  SPEAKER_08: You have Yeah, we didn't have that with that, and it was fine.
• 21:08
  SPEAKER_08: The only thing that I didn't like about it was we didn't have a concierge.
• 21:12
  SPEAKER_03: Uh-huh.
• 21:12
  SPEAKER_03: So if we needed the junior, there was no concierge?
• 21:15
  SPEAKER_03: No.
• 21:15
  SPEAKER_08: So if we needed something, we had to go to that customer service desk, and that's a nightmare.
• 21:21
  SPEAKER_06: If you want to feel better about your health and you want to feel like a really in-shape, healthy person, even if you're not, go on a cruise ship for a week.
• 21:36
  SPEAKER_06: It'll drink and eat you into feeling great.
• 21:40
  SPEAKER_06: Um, wow.

  SPEAKER_06: It holds 4,000 people.
• 21:54
  SPEAKER_06: My sister goes, What was it like?
• 21:57
  SPEAKER_06: Well, here's what it was like.
• 22:00
  SPEAKER_06: We were all in Las Vegas, standing in the Bellagio, and all of a sudden, it just sailed away.
• 22:14
  SPEAKER_06: The whole building.
• 22:15
  SPEAKER_06: And nobody panicked or acted weird.
• 22:22
  SPEAKER_06: Hey, wanna try a monkey rum punch?
• 22:24
  SPEAKER_05: Yes, I love monkey rum punches.
• 22:28

  SPEAKER_05: And now we will be doing the safety drill.
• 22:34
  SPEAKER_05: What?

  unknown: What?
• 22:36
  SPEAKER_05: I'm hammered.
• 22:37
  SPEAKER_05: You can't do a safety drill.
• 22:40
  SPEAKER_05: It is on your muster station, which is located on the back of your keycard.
• 22:44
  SPEAKER_05: It will not match your deck or room, so please pay me.
• 22:47
  SPEAKER_06: What, what, what, what, what?
• 22:48
  SPEAKER_06: Now there's math involved.
• 22:50
  SPEAKER_06: This is a terrible vacation.
• 22:53
  SPEAKER_06: There's no math on vacation.
• 22:58
  SPEAKER_06: I finally found my room and I was next to these lovely people from Wisconsin, and they had balloons all over their door.
• 23:04
  SPEAKER_06: And uh I was like, oh hey, is it somebody's birthday or anniversary?
• 23:09
  SPEAKER_05: And the guy goes, no, we just get so hammered on these ship and these rooms all look alike.
• 23:15
  SPEAKER_05: So we decorate our door.
• 23:24
  SPEAKER_06: And the good news for you, sweetheart, is every time you find this door, you got a 50-50 chance of finding your room.
• 23:34
  SPEAKER_06: Yes, I do, Mr.
• 23:35
  SPEAKER_06: Milwaukee.
• 23:36
  SPEAKER_06: You are my new best friend.
• 23:38
  SPEAKER_06: Don't tell me alcoholics are lazy.
• 23:41
  SPEAKER_06: Look at that energy.
• 23:42
  SPEAKER_06: He had to get taped, blues, he had to stop smoking for four seconds to blow them up.
• 23:54
  SPEAKER_06: There's a lot of activities.
• 23:56
  SPEAKER_06: Oh yeah.
• 23:57
  SPEAKER_06: You get on the ship and there's this giant neon board.
• 23:59
  SPEAKER_06: It looks like a Vegas sports betting board.
• 24:01
  SPEAKER_06: You're like, oh, it's really overwhelming.
• 24:04
  SPEAKER_06: You're like, oh, that looks fun.
• 24:06
  SPEAKER_06: That looks fun.
• 24:07
  SPEAKER_06: Well, if you're a sleeper inner or a drinker later, you will not be involved in any of these activities.
• 24:14
  SPEAKER_06: Because these will require you to be up at 6 a.m.
• 24:17
  SPEAKER_06: with a fanny pack on, ready to jump in some dinghy with your new friends from Buffalo.
• 24:22
  SPEAKER_06: And uh my friend Shay wanted to do it all.
• 24:27
  SPEAKER_06: I'm like, no, I am not getting up at 6 a.m.
• 24:30
  SPEAKER_06: to go to Stingray Village.
• 24:32
  SPEAKER_06: I I can't I don't have it in me.
• 24:34
  SPEAKER_06: Uh if someone puts the stingrays in my bathtub, I will pet them.
• 24:37
  SPEAKER_06: But I am not doing that.
• 24:41
  SPEAKER_06: I don't care enough.
• 24:44
  SPEAKER_06: Her and her husband Mike, they did every activity.
• 24:47
  SPEAKER_06: You sure?
• 24:47
  SPEAKER_06: And she checked back in.
• 24:48
  SPEAKER_06: You sure can't think?
• 24:49
  SPEAKER_06: Tomorrow we're gonna zip line through the Mexican jungle.
• 24:53
  SPEAKER_06: Yeah?
• 24:54
  SPEAKER_06: I'm sure.
• 24:55
  SPEAKER_06: There is nothing I can think of that would make me projectile vomit more quickly than to be hot and hung over and shot through a Mexican jungle on a rubber van.
• 25:06
  SPEAKER_06: No.
• 25:06
  SPEAKER_06: No, I'm good.
• 25:07
  SPEAKER_06: I am good right here on this chair with my monkey from punch.
• 25:12
  SPEAKER_06: And you know what?
• 25:14
  SPEAKER_06: You call me crazy, Shay, but I question the safety of that apparatus.
• 25:18
  SPEAKER_06: I truly do.
• 25:19
  SPEAKER_06: Oh no, no, no, they make you sign a form.
• 25:21
  SPEAKER_06: Really?
• 25:21
  SPEAKER_06: What form?
• 25:22
  SPEAKER_06: Who who made those up?
• 25:23
  SPEAKER_06: Juan and Julio in the van that won't be there when you come back with your flesh-eating bacteria wound that there's no hospital around.
• 25:31
  SPEAKER_06: Hope you have a good time with the ship, doctor, getting your bacteria feating leg fixed up.
• 25:41
  SPEAKER_06: If you're a drinker or a sleeper in her, your activity adventure will consist of getting off that ship at about noon into some sad little Mexican town where you're gonna hear a guy in an alley go.
• 25:57
  SPEAKER_06: And you don't know why, but you're gonna go over that guy.
• 26:01
  SPEAKER_06: Because you want to hear what he has to offer.
• 26:05
  SPEAKER_06: And you're gonna go over there and he's gonna show you a clipboard with pictures of pretty fish.
• 26:10
  SPEAKER_06: And he's gonna tell you he can take you to snorkel in there for$20.
• 26:13
  SPEAKER_06: And you're gonna say 10.
• 26:17
  SPEAKER_06: You don't know why he would say that.
• 26:19
  SPEAKER_06: And then he's gonna say 15, and the next thing you know, you're gonna be on a rickety-ass partridge family bus going to Christ knows where.
• 26:29
  SPEAKER_06: Because that's when Lou got the maddest he's ever been at me, because we were the only two that agreed to this adventure.
• 26:39
  SPEAKER_06: He was like, This is stupid.
• 26:41
  SPEAKER_05: That's the stupidest thing you've ever talked me into.
• 26:44
  SPEAKER_05: We don't know who the fell is.
• 26:48
  SPEAKER_05: We don't know where this bus is really going.
• 26:52
  SPEAKER_06: I said, I know, Lou.
• 26:53
  SPEAKER_06: That's why this is a real adventure.
• 26:58
  SPEAKER_06: Those people on that Royal Caribbean ship know exactly what time they're coming back tonight.
• 27:08
  SPEAKER_06: We may never come back tonight, Lou.
• 27:12
  SPEAKER_06: Do you understand the level of excitement I have provided for$15 a man?
• 27:19
  SPEAKER_06: Come on.
• 27:23
  SPEAKER_06: The worst thing about a cruise ship, though, is they have a TV channel on your uh LL boat channel.
• 27:30
  SPEAKER_06: And in the afternoons, when I first turned it on, it's a picture of where you are in the ocean because there's cameras on the outside of the boat.
• 27:35
  SPEAKER_06: You go, oh, isn't that lovely?
• 27:37
  SPEAKER_06: And it's just the sea and nice spa music.
• 27:40
  SPEAKER_06: But in the morning, no.
• 27:42
  SPEAKER_06: When you turn that channel on, it's not the lovely ocean with spa music.
• 27:47
  SPEAKER_06: It's a picture of your bill from the day before.
• 27:52
  SPEAKER_06: Right.
• 27:53
  SPEAKER_06: Oh, how mean is that?
• 27:54
  SPEAKER_06: What kind of buzzkill is that?
• 27:56
  SPEAKER_06: This is vacation.
• 27:57
  SPEAKER_06: I don't need to review my bad behavior on a daily basis.
• 28:01
  SPEAKER_06: What kind of sadist is running this ship?
• 28:03
  SPEAKER_06: That is horrible.
• 28:04
