Transcript
- 0:00I'm Stephanie.
- 0:00I'm Meredith.
- 0:01And welcome to This is My Circus.
- 0:03What's up?
- 0:04Oh God.
- 0:06Um, not a whole lot that I haven't already told you.
- 0:13Well, I'm so frustrated right now.
- 0:15I was just looking at my Facebook.
- 0:16Uh huh.
- 0:17So freaking over the halftime show drama.
- 0:20Hold on.
- 0:21Eagles won.
- 0:23Okay.
- 0:24KILT the chief.
- 0:26Yes.
- 0:26I mean, it was like a, it was sad, but like the best part, my entire favorite part of the entire Patrick Mahomes lip out.
- 0:32Cause I have a picture of Dylan when he was like nine months old.
- 0:35Uh, exactly.
- 0:38As soon as that happened, we were like, that's going to be a meme.
- 0:41That is gonna be, I meme, best part of the whole school.
- 0:44Mm-hmm That was good.
- 0:45And then the whole chief's bench, they were all just sitting there, all defeated and did check and grand.
- 0:50Yes.
- 0:50Like some of them had like tears and I had it, but like he just won two years in a row, like come.
- 0:55Right, right.
- 0:56Absolutely.
- 0:57I love the dude, what was his name?
- 0:59Does something that had to pick Deon.
- 1:01Yes.
- 1:02He had the pick.
- 1:03That was awesome.
- 1:03Mm-hmm Um, Hooper.
- 1:05That's his first name.
- 1:06Yeah, it was his birthday.
- 1:07Yes, at 22 years old, I think.
- 1:10So it was his and Saquon's.
- 1:12And so forget this.
- 1:12So you add up their jerseys, it equals 59 and it was the 59th Super Bowl.
- 1:17I mean, the Lord himself ordained that.
- 1:20Yes.
- 1:21Um, Saquon didn't do a lot.
- 1:23No, but they, they were, they, they had, they planned that, which is okay.
- 1:27And in that situation, I'm glad the others stepped up and did the thing.
- 1:32AJ Brown had a, oh my gosh, did you know, so I was watching little clips of interviews today.
- 1:38Did you know that this time last year, he was thinking about, and in his life, Oh, I did not know that.
- 1:44I didn't either until I saw this, um, snippet of an interview and I want to go back and dig more into it.
- 1:50But, I think that's amazing that he, you know, he, I mean, and okay, so last year he was in the Super Bowl.
- 1:56He's still a big time dude, whatever.
- 1:58And that just goes to show that.
- 2:00It doesn't matter who you are, what you have.
- 2:02We all have these inner demons, right?
- 2:04But he powered through and he did the things and he, I don't know what kind of, you know, treatment or therapy or spiritual guidance or whatever, but he's still here with us today.
- 2:13And he had a great game last night.
- 2:15And so did Smitty.
- 2:16He had a great game last night.
- 2:18so stick it out people.
- 2:20I don't know.
- 2:21I guess that's what I was going to say, but, well, So I've been an Eagles fan for a very, very, very long time.
- 2:25Are you from Philly?
- 2:26I'm from, I'm from the Poconos, which is like an hour and a half away.
- 2:31but, I have been an Eagles fan for a very, very, very long time.
- 2:35so Jeremiah Trotter was on the Eagles like 20 years ago.
- 2:39Okay.
- 2:40And there's a picture of him at, I think it was like the NFC championship or whatever.
- 2:45Holding his son and his son's now an eagle.
- 2:47Yes.
- 2:48Oh, yes, that picture.
- 2:50And I was like, oh, yeah, you know where my heart Yeah, it was right years later on the field at his own.
- 2:56It's the same thing.
- 2:57It was just like full circle moment Yeah, um, have you seen snips of the coach at the club?
- 3:02Uh huh With the big cigar.
- 3:06I mean, do you dude you just won the friggin Super Bowl?
- 3:08Oh my god.
- 3:09How about it?
- 3:09It was it was really cool.
- 3:11So congrats Thank you.
- 3:13Yep.
- 3:13Absolutely.
- 3:14As if I was on the field.
- 3:15But you know, no, you did it.
- 3:17They wouldn't be where they are without you.
- 3:19Um, but it was good.
- 3:20I wanted them to win, so I'm glad they did.
- 3:22And, uh, Taylor got booed.
- 3:24Yes, she did.
- 3:25Yes she did.
- 3:26And she was like, what is going on?
- 3:28And I get it, like, she's not her fault, like she doesn't play the game, but at the same time, if they were winning, it would've been all her and she would've been, no, I don't think so.
- 3:37I think people are over her.
- 3:38Well that too, but in football.
- 3:40Yeah, well, she shouldn't even be on.
- 3:42Like, I don't want to see her.
- 3:43I'm watching the game.
- 3:44Yeah, but the Eagles just couldn't do anything wrong, and the Chiefs couldn't do anything right.
- 3:50Yeah, so it's a lot of fun.
- 3:51So, and I noticed that there wasn't a lot of penalties against the Eagles.
- 3:56I mean, I think there was, it was pretty even, but I do think that Maybe that was because of all the attention.
- 4:02Uh huh.
- 4:03Um, the, the drama surrounding the, the refs.
- 4:06The refs probably.
- 4:08Probably.
- 4:09So Superbowl, the, pregame songs, they did the national anthem and the black national anthem and America, the beautiful, all that was nice.
- 4:17All that had a New Orleans spin.
- 4:19That was really nice.
- 4:21don't remember who any of them were.
- 4:22Doesn't matter.
- 4:23I liked it.
- 4:24Nobody's Whitney Houston.
- 4:25Do you remember her singing it?
- 4:28but yeah, halftime show where the real drama is.
- 4:32Yes.
- 4:33okay.
- 4:34Not everybody likes the same thing.
- 4:36Right.
- 4:37And that's okay.
- 4:38Yeah.
- 4:40Um, my Facebook feed is so split.
- 4:44Oh, I'm over it.
- 4:47I'm over it too.
- 4:48And I'm, I'm like, just because you didn't like it doesn't mean it's not good.
- 4:52I'm just like, can we get back to like regular drama?
- 4:57Well, there was, there was so much symbolism and there was so much going on in this show that if you don't know the beef or the history or the links, Serena Williams, if you don't know all that stuff, I can understand why people were like, what in the world?
- 5:15But educate yourself.
- 5:17Or at least Google it.
- 5:19Yeah, I don't disagree.
- 5:21Yeah.
- 5:21But I also don't agree with people's, blatantly disrespect to people that don't understand what's going on.
- 5:29True.
- 5:29Agreed.
- 5:30It could be as, Simple as, Hey, there's a lot going on, like Google it, right?
- 5:35Not like this message isn't for you.
- 5:38Right.
- 5:38No, a hundred percent sit down and shut up.
- 5:41It's very much the vibe I'm getting all over everywhere.
- 5:45Well, I've been seeing, Oh, I'm sorry.
- 5:47And I know, and I, and I understand where they're coming from, but.
- 5:51Having that message, the way it's being presented isn't doing anything right.
- 5:56Other than like, making people like, well, yeah, like, well, that was that's I mean, that's the hugest platform for him to have promoted and, you know.
- 6:08Pushed change and agenda and the things.
- 6:13And when you don't back that coming from a good place, the message kind of gets lost.
- 6:19Is that what you're saying?
- 6:20Yeah.
- 6:20And, I think, and for me anyway, and like I get that it's a huge moment and it's the huge platform and like, you can do what you want with it.
- 6:28You were hired to do this.
- 6:29Yes.
- 6:30I just want to be entertained.
- 6:32Like I, there's too much real life going on, And I know that I don't have the same background and the same, you know, whatever history.
- 6:39but I just want to be entertained.
- 6:42Like I miss the days of Britney Spears and like Aerosmith, Janet Jackson.
- 6:47Yeah.
- 6:47And just like a good show.
- 6:49I agree.
- 6:49I agree.
- 6:50So, but I think, so I don't know a lot of Kendrick Lamar songs.
- 6:54of course I know.
- 6:55The one that everybody knows, and I probably know more if Jackson would tell me, but I don't.
- 7:00So I was really into it because I was appreciating the drama, uh, the behind the stage drama.
- 7:07But there's just been so many people.
- 7:11That I've seen post that are just saying it was terrible.
- 7:15They couldn't understand what he was saying.
- 7:16It was trash.
- 7:18And I just kept copying and pasting the same response to people like 20 years.
- 7:23I saw your, it was like 20 years ago.
- 7:24We didn't like Paul McCartney.
- 7:27I mean, I really still don't to be quite honest with you, but I wouldn't like it if Metallica took the stage.
- 7:32That's not my jam.
- 7:34Right.
- 7:34But I can appreciate that they're great and people saying that they couldn't understand them.
- 7:38You're in a freaking stadium with so many people.
- 7:41It's very understandable.
- 7:43I thought so too, but like the acoustics in there aren't made for what that is.
- 7:46So, I mean, everybody's going to not sound great.
- 7:49Right.
- 7:49I, I totally 100 percent agree with everything you're saying.
- 7:53I really and truly just miss, Yeah, the performance, the actual show.
- 8:00Like when Prince, yeah.
- 8:02Remember when Prince played the guitar like amazingly and stuff like when they bring out like, like seven different Yes.
- 8:08Big artists and they all like, and all different genres.
- 8:11Like yes.
- 8:11That's what I loved.
- 8:13It always felt like it was kind of a mashup.
- 8:14Yeah.
- 8:15With like a rock and a rap and like all kinds of things.
- 8:17I loved that too.
- 8:18Yeah.
- 8:18I really loved that too.
- 8:20Um.
- 8:21Scissors.
- 8:22Okay.
- 8:22I'm not a huge fan, but that's not the vibe.
- 8:25I want for the halftime show.
- 8:26It brought it down.
- 8:27Right, right.
- 8:29Like five.
- 8:29Right.
- 8:30Not that it was bad.
- 8:31I think she's she.
- 8:32Yeah.
- 8:33It was great.
- 8:33Yeah, but it just was so right.
- 8:36Oh, yeah.
- 8:36I won't like keep me hype.
- 8:38Yeah.
- 8:39And then the dude with the football, his, his name's like DJ Mustard or something, because I was like, who is he?
- 8:45So I tried to Google it.
- 8:47And let me just tell you, if you try to Google halftime show guy with the football, it's very difficult to find, because there's apparently a lot of guys with the footballs at the Super Bowl halftime show.
- 8:58but I'm pretty sure his name is DJ Mustard.
- 9:02Yeah.
- 9:03Yeah.
- 9:04Um, but then Serena Williams, you know, dancing.
- 9:08and then Samuel L.
- 9:09Jackson.
- 9:09Yeah.
- 9:10So, and I don't know a lot of the whole like beef, like I, like, this is not my, my generation.
- 9:18I don't really think.
- 9:19Yeah.
- 9:20A lot of us in our 40s are very invested in the beef.
- 9:26I just know what Jackson's shared with me pretty much.
- 9:28Right.
- 9:29Didn't Drake and Serena like date in 2007?
- 9:31Yes.
- 9:32I mean it was like a long time ago.
- 9:33Right.
- 9:34So I don't understand what the correlation is 14 years later.
- 9:37Yeah, I don't like that much like still tension.
- 9:41I guess so.
- 9:42I guess so.
- 9:43I think he had a harness song or something.
- 9:46Okay.
- 9:46I, I, I almost feel like though it was every little piece.
- 9:52Of the show was everything that Kendrick Lamar's people could think of to dis Drake, like the PlayStation set when he walked by and he said, Drake like, oh my God, smiled.
- 10:04And he like, he was walking like, so, and people are commenting too, like, I just wanna know where he got his jeans from.
- 10:11Like bell bottoms.
- 10:12He didn't have bell bottoms on.
- 10:13He didn't have bell bottoms on I would trip.
- 10:18Oh, 100%.
- 10:18I am not coordinated.
- 10:21You know I'd fall.
- 10:21There's video proof of that.
- 10:22I've showed you.
- 10:25But, I Appreciated it.
- 10:27Yeah.
- 10:28I liked it.
- 10:28Yeah.
- 10:28I, it wasn't my favorite.
- 10:30That's right.
- 10:31And again, like it wasn't meant, it will never be Dr.
- 10:34Dre and Snoop Dogg and 50, like it'll never be that again.
- 10:38Like that was my favorite I think ever.
- 10:41Yes.
- 10:41Let's take a moment of silence to remember Snoop Dogg told he can't wear, gang colors.
- 10:47So he wears the whole outfit.
- 10:49He's like a bandana.
- 10:51but I just, I just be open minded people.
- 10:55Yeah.
- 10:55Not everything's about you.
- 10:56And like, even if you don't understand all the symbols, let's just appreciate it for what it is.
- 10:59I mean, like he is a, yes.
- 11:01And he's won so many awards, including a Pulitzer prize.
- 11:06Like, yeah, that's more than you've done.
- 11:08Karen.

- 12:03What'd you get?
- 12:04I'm trying to find the words because it's a lot.
- 12:07Oh, you're scaring me.
- 12:10Don't be scared.
- 12:11We're gonna make it.
- 12:13Waffle House is adding a surcharge to eggs because of the price of freaking eggs right now.
- 12:24So it's undetermined, and I don't know why they're calling it a surcharge because it's not really like a service charge.
- 12:29I don't know, but probably because The surge and yeah, so maybe it's a surge charge and not a surcharge But anyway, it's 50 cents per egg on get every time that on every egg you order on whatever it or every order You know, I'm trying to say I get it too, but um, it'll make me happy, but I get it I love Waffle House.
- 12:51Dylan does too.
- 12:52I have not been there.
- 12:53Wait, that's not good for me and Dylan to have the same favorite restaurant.
- 12:59I have not been to a Waffle House.
- 13:00I think the last time I went it was like at 2am, like on the way home from a bar.
- 13:04Of course it was.
- 13:0615 years ago.
- 13:08It's not changed.
- 13:09It's the same.
- 13:10Same.
- 13:10Probably had the same mop water.
- 13:12I saw the person cooking the food and I was like, I don't know if I'm this drunk.
- 13:16No, you don't look, you don't make eye contact.
- 13:18You don't look, you don't look at the, the grade.
- 13:20But like every time I've ever been in a Waffle House, it's never been like the fun, like there is some, either somebody singing or somebody fighting.
- 13:27Like I want that experience.
- 13:28You do?
- 13:29I do.
- 13:30Okay.
- 13:30I want to be there when it's all going on.
- 13:32Okay, so meet me.

- 13:40I'm old.
- 13:41Can we do it?
- 13:42The drunk people are there.
- 13:43Yeah, but I thought that maybe we could start singing.
- 13:46Oh, okay.
- 13:47Or, or would you rather fight?
- 13:49I want my butt kicked.
- 13:50It's the day.
- 13:53And I would say let's meet at 3 a.
- 13:54m.
- 13:55like you suggested, but you know, I'm an early bed girl.
- 13:58That would be like my early rise morning.
- 13:59I have to get up at like 8 o'clock.
- 14:01Fully rested.
- 14:02But I mean, I'm, I'm good at like 6.
- 14:04So, yeah, that's the story that's impacted my life lately.
- 14:12you know, you and I have talked before about, we get, You and I get kind of heated in sports events.
- 14:18Yeah.
- 14:18We've had some issues in the past.
- 14:20Yes.
- 14:20We had another issue last week.
- 14:22Oh, what happened?
- 14:23Got heated.
- 14:24Well, the student section, so JV basketball game, the student section for Indian land was sitting underneath the goal.
- 14:32Okay.
- 14:33And right beside that was our players bench.
- 14:36Okay.
- 14:37So bad setup.
- 14:38Yeah.
- 14:38That should be spread apart.
- 14:39Yep.
- 14:41It was a close game back then.
- 14:42Like they were winning the whole time and we kept trying to come back and we would, but we just never, we never, we ended up losing.
- 14:49We never closed out, but every time something would happen on that end of the court, that student section were yelling and cussing and flipping the kids off, et cetera.
- 15:04So I was like not on my watch.
- 15:07Yep.
- 15:09Amen.
- 15:09So I went and tried to do the good adult thing, which was find the athletic director.
- 15:15Okay.
- 15:16So I was leaving the gym and I asked this guy that was standing there.
- 15:20I was like, I'm looking for an athletic director.
- 15:22He had on like the, the logo pullover hoodie.
- 15:25And he's standing by the door.
- 15:26It looked official.
- 15:27Right.
- 15:27He was like, that's me.
- 15:28And I was like, oh, okay, cool.
- 15:30I said, can you say something to them down there?
- 15:32Like, he was like, I handled it.
- 15:34It's like, well, you didn't, I was like the language and mind you, he was underneath the other goal.
- 15:39I was like the language and the gestures.
- 15:42And he was like, I handled it, ma'am.
- 15:44And gave me the look.
- 15:47And I was like, Okay, that, no, but I mean, I'm thinking, okay, he's the AD, he's stressed out, he's handled it.
- 15:56So I go back to our little section and I told all the peeps I was sitting with, I was like, he's the AD, he's handled it, he's, he did not indeed handle it.
- 16:05Things continue to escalate with the gestures and the cussing and the, and I'm not talking about, During free throws, somebody beat the bleachers.
- 16:13I'm talking about whatever.
- 16:15See, my crazy butt would have stood up and be like, whose children are these?
- 16:20Because they're a holes.
- 16:21Right.
- 16:22Well, so we then, our whole parent group gets heated and we're like yelling at the guy, the AD guy, like, can you get thrown out?
- 16:33No, no.
- 16:34And we're like, say something.
- 16:35And he's like, what?
- 16:36They're just like clapping.
- 16:37They're not doing, we're like, Brian.
- 16:40You know, Pretty Chill Brian has, by this point, walked halfway down the bleachers telling this guy, like, he's gonna, and I'm like, oh, no, but he's like, go tell your kids.
- 16:52He's like, just, he said, walk your butt down there and tell them to come to find out.
- 16:57Because after the game, I was like, I need to talk to, I'm going to find somebody else.
- 17:02So I go outside and I find Anthony's mom talking to an official lady.
- 17:08I'm like, hey, are you okay?
- 17:09And she was like, yeah She said I was just talking to her about the whatever because that guy same guy I talked to just cussed me out No, I'm like Oh, it's like, okay.
- 17:22And she was like, and he's not the athletic director.
- 17:27Who was he?
- 17:28Just a dad?
- 17:29No.
- 17:30Can you get in trouble for like posing?
- 17:32Yeah.
- 17:32So we talked to the AD who was not super helpful, which, um, come to find out their their basketball team right now is like ranked number two in the state They're probably gonna do really well, but they don't want to make waves probably for their team because of that So I'd be gone one of the moms came over and I was like I saw you go down there and talk what happened and I was like Those kids from the other team.
- 17:56Okay.
- 17:56They were like, what happened?
- 17:57And I told her like, they were making gestures.
- 18:00They were cussing at our kids.
- 18:01It was escalating.
- 18:03I went to get somebody who told me that he was the AD.
- 18:06He was not, she was like, Oh no, he's yeah, whatever.
- 18:09And, so by this point she was like, you know, sorry, that happened.
- 18:13That's not representative of all of us or whatever.
- 18:16This dude walks by and I'm like, and he was dressed.
- 18:22Polo.
- 18:23It's the principal.
- 18:24It's like, let me tell you what just happened, sir.
- 18:26So we had a nice conversation and I, and you know, he made me feel so much better because he just, he listened.
- 18:35And he was like, well, we can pull video.
- 18:36I was like, I, I'm not worried about that.
- 18:39I'd be like, pull it now.
- 18:42I don't want to get fired.
- 18:44I was like, but just, I just wanted somebody to verify that they were acting out of pocket and that dude shouldn't have done that and that it should have just like address it.
- 18:55Yeah.
- 18:56And then now, anyway, so am I the a hole for finding the athletic director?
- 19:00Listen, I would have kept you for that.
- 19:03I would be like, no.
- 19:05Would the school be named after you right now?
- 19:07I would be going to like the school board and then like if that didn't work, I'd be going to the state of the board of education for South Carolina.
- 19:15Email her.
- 19:16I thought about just email on the phone.
- 19:18I think that that is totally valid and I think that the Imposter.
- 19:24Yeah! That, I mean, can you believe that?
- 19:26There should be something done.
- 19:27Should be something on record of that he was imitating the athletic director.
- 19:31And, why would you even lie to me?
- 19:33Why don't he be like, I'm not, but this is what I do.
- 19:36I'll handle it.
- 19:37But he didn't.
- 19:38Anyway.
- 19:38Didn't! Yeah.
- 19:39No.
- 19:40you are not.
- 19:41you actually were very nice because you know me.
- 19:44Decent.
- 19:45You know.
- 19:46Yeah.
- 19:46Yeah, that six foot one personality will come out.
- 19:49Once it pops off, it's popping off.
- 19:52And no, no, because I would have been kicked out because nobody did anything to the kids and I would have looked over there and I would have started running my mouth.
- 19:59So in the, what made it even that much.
- 20:02I can hear everything's going off.
- 20:03Yeah.
- 20:04What made it even so much more?
- 20:06More worse is between our kids bench and where they were sitting was the walkway to go to the locker room and to come out of the locker room.
- 20:16So when they left, those kids are like hanging over and still yelling insults, like control your kids.
- 20:24Would have like, if they did that at school, they would be disciplined your own school property.
- 20:29You should be disciplined, but I'm not asking for that.
- 20:31Just, just get them to stop cussing and flipping everybody off.
- 20:35So here's the other thing though.
- 20:38And like, and I, I feel like if I saw Dylan or his friends doing that as a parent, right.
- 20:44I would have stepped in.
- 20:45Yeah.
- 20:47So I have a lot of issues all around.
- 20:49I have a lot of issues that no parents stepped in when it was ongoing.
- 20:53I have a lot of issues with Jude impersonating the athletic director.
- 20:57I have a lot of issues with a lot of it.
- 21:00And I would have been kicked out.
- 21:02Because I would have.
- 21:03Validating my.
- 21:04Went over and started running my mouth.
- 21:06And he cussed at Anthony's mom.
- 21:08It would be like when I told the kid, in Myrtle Beach to go find his mom.
- 21:12Yeah.
- 21:13Because if he's not gonna shut up, I'll have his mom shut up.
- 21:18Well, and no school wants the reputation of having that school, right?
- 21:21Right.
- 21:22So, I mean, you would think that they would want to control that and nip that in the bud, but the way that the, Imposter was acting.
- 21:29He was almost egging it on.
- 21:30Yeah, because we were, you know, reacting to what they were doing and he was like, so then they were going more.
- 21:37It was just, it was, I would have been kicked out.
- 21:41I would have been fighting somebody.
- 21:42Yeah.
- 21:43Like I would have started a riot.
- 21:47Okay.
- 21:47So that was, you are not the a hole.
- 21:49I am Um, well, we had talked about some of these, department of cuts and yeah, there's been a lot in the news in the last couple of days.
- 21:58It's been a busy news.
- 21:59So I saw today that, don't just.
- 22:04Found 59, 000, 000 dollars that was supposed to be sent last week through FEMA to luxury hotels in New York City to house illegal immigrants for the month.
- 22:1559, 000, 000 dollars, that was supposed to be sent last week through FEMA.
- 22:18So FEMA is meant for American disaster relief.
- 22:21I thought you were going to say to the North Carolina flood victims.
- 22:25No.
- 22:26so they didn't stop that.
- 22:28Payment from going through.
- 22:31Can we stop that check?
- 22:32That's a 75 charge.
- 22:34It's okay.
- 22:36Um, and then the USA department is being shut down, which I never knew that this even existed.
- 22:44Like I'm not a government, right?
- 22:46Like not my jam.
- 22:47I think that's pretty obvious that you and I are not really government people.
- 22:51Not my jam, but, they did go through with this USA does.
- 22:57Okay.
- 22:57And I'm like, I'd love to know because so what's is the Department of what?
- 23:02Um, it's us aid and it's supposed to be like, I guess like for whatever.
- 23:06I don't know what they do really what like the actual purposes of it's supposed to be.
- 23:10I would think it would be like, they worked with FEMA to kind of help with disasters.
- 23:13This is okay.
- 23:15Okay.
- 23:15That would be what I would think.
- 23:16So give me the real deal.
- 23:171.
- 23:185 million to DEI in Serbia workplaces.
- 23:22Okay.
- 23:23In Serbia?
- 23:23In Serbia.
- 23:24So not in America, in Serbia.
- 23:2670, 000 went to a production of a DEI musical in Ireland.
- 23:32Shut up.
- 23:33Hold on.
- 23:34Did the river dance?
- 23:3547, 000 for a transgender opera in Columbia, not the city Columbia, the country Columbia.
- 23:47Not Columbia, but Columbia.
- 23:49Um, yeah, so 47, 000 for a transgender opera.
- 23:56In the country of Columbia, 32, 000 for a transgender comic book in Peru, 20 million for an Iraq Sesame street.
- 24:07Oh my gosh.
- 24:09Do you remember when I learned that the count counts?
- 24:15Cause I sent it to my customer.
- 24:18Yes.
- 24:202 million for a Moroccan pottery class.
- 24:23Oh, 11 million to tell Vietnam to stop burning trash.
- 24:29I'd have done it for 10 million.
- 24:31I'd have done it for one.
- 24:32Who are we kidding?
- 24:3427 million to give gift bags to all the illegal immigrants that came into the country.
- 24:39I want to know what's in those gift bags.
- 24:40Me too.
- 24:42250 million.
- 24:43Bilal doesn't say, he doesn't have that info.
- 24:46No.
- 24:47250 million used on unused Afghanistan roads.
- 24:53No clue what that even means.
- 24:54Have you seen IROADS?
- 24:55Yeah.
- 24:55That are used?
- 24:56Yeah.
- 24:58520 million for consultant driven ESG investments in Africa.
- 25:03And ESG is Environment and Socially Conscious Investments in Africa.
- 25:08Yeah.
- 25:0944.
- 25:108 million for food and economic assistance for Venezuelan migrants in Colombia.
- 25:16I swear this stuff doesn't sound real.
- 25:18So then like, I don't know how true it is.
- 25:20It was like whatever on Tik Tok, but they said that Chelsea Clinton, I guess is the head of this or she's like very involved in all this and got like 84 million from This, this, and 4 million went to supplying food for wherever.
- 25:38And I guess you get to 80 million for the, for the headache.
- 25:41I don't know.
- 25:41I don't know if it's true or not, but Chelsea Clinton, you got some explaining to do, and I hope that she gets audited.
- 25:48If you want to come on our show and defend yourself.
- 25:50I don't want you on my show.
- 25:52I'd like to hear it.
- 25:53I don't.
- 25:54You don't even want to hear what she has to say?
- 25:56I'll be absent that day.
- 25:59You're going to call in sick.
- 26:00For the podcast we do in your office.
- 26:02Can we get Bill on instead of Chelsea?
- 26:05Yeah.
- 26:06I want to interview Bill.
- 26:07Okay.
- 26:08Give me Bill.
- 26:09Alright, Bill.
- 26:10That's the only Clinton I want to interview.
- 26:12Bring it, Bill.
- 26:13I have so many questions for that man.
- 26:14I think he'd be fun to party with, too.
- 26:16I do, too.
- 26:17We could play, Never Have I Ever with Bill Clinton.
- 26:19Oh, my goodness! Yes! Presidential Never Have I Ever.
- 26:25Ever have I ever had sexual relations with that woman.
- 26:30That would be So freaking trademark, trademark that we trademark that game.
- 26:37Yeah.
- 26:37I do think that she needs to be audited.
- 26:39I think they all need to be audited.
- 26:41Yeah.
- 26:42so it's almost tax season for us.
- 26:43Yes.
- 26:44Piddly little people that we are.
- 26:46And if you make 600 or more, you are required to get a 10 99 and report that income.
- 26:51Yes.
- 26:53So the treasury department has 50 billion with a B, 50 billion that is unaccounted for 50 billion.
- 27:02Have you ever gone on those websites where you look to see if there you have any unclaimed property?
- 27:06Is it real?
- 27:08Like, or is it, yes, I've got money.
- 27:10Shut up.
- 27:10I have got money.
- 27:11Not a lot.
- 27:12Yes, I've gotten money like a hundred bucks or something from where I had overpaid a cable bill or something and I lived in Monroe, long story, didn't really afford my mail.
- 27:23Look it up.
- 27:24I'm gonna look it up.
- 27:24I'm gonna look up your name.
- 27:26I probably owe money.
- 27:28They'll be like, you have so much money that you're owed, you need to contact us.
- 27:33Be like, no, I know better than that.
- 27:35yeah.
- 27:35So there's 50 billion that is unaccounted for that.
- 27:39They just write checks without putting who it's for.
- 27:42There's nothing in the memo, no memo, nothing.
- 27:45It's not in a category of like, you know, like electric bills.
- 27:48Right?
- 27:49No, it's just like no category, nothing.
- 27:51There's no budget.
- 27:52There's no 50 billion that was like sent out.
- 27:56So who knows where it went?
- 27:58Yeah.
- 27:58That's what, that's what they're trying to find out.
- 28:00It was that one blank check I said.
- 28:04So, oh, and now social security is now being looked at because they're finding a lot of fraud in social security.
- 28:09Well, duh, we've known that was a thing.
- 28:11There's being checks sent to people who are dead.
- 28:14Date of birth would make them 150 years old.
- 28:16Now.
- 28:19150 years old.
- 28:20I've heard that all the supplements that I take will get me there.
- 28:25That's crazy.
- 28:26Yes.
- 28:26Anybody that's over 90 should probably really be.
- 28:30Looked at like, and let's have a, you have a pulse Yeah.

- 28:52I've never used, you want people to wait.
- 28:53Right.
- 28:54I've never used, um, weekend at Bernie's as a verb but here we are.
- 29:00It's a podcast that people want to listen to.
- 29:02well, we got a New York lady in Pakistan update.
- 29:06Oh, and I followed our friend Bilal.
- 29:09Is he not the best?
- 29:10He is great.
- 29:11He is the best.
- 29:12He is, he's pretty cool, dude.
- 29:14He is.
- 29:14Bilal, do you want to be on it?
- 29:15Can Bilal be on our pod?
- 29:16Yes.
- 29:18We want you on our message.
- 29:20Um, so I think her name is a Naja is the woman's name.
- 29:25Okay.
- 29:25she's now in Dubai.
- 29:26She has made it.
- 29:27Wait, this is the woman who was who all the stuff was about.
- 29:30Okay.
- 29:30She's in Dubai in Dubai.
- 29:32She made it there.
- 29:32Yes.
- 29:33She got off the plane and like.
- 29:35She's got like this, like, flock of men following her on Dubai Now.
- 29:39To harm her?
- 29:40Or protect her?
- 29:41No, like, it's a celebrity, like a celebrity, like, meet and greet type of vibe.
- 29:46It's kind of like when you and I are somewhere.
- 29:48Yeah, you know.
- 29:49Really?
- 29:49Yeah, so she had, a group of men following her on the street, and they're like, Ma'am, Ma'am! Has anybody stateside commented on her family or anything?
- 29:59Well, had gotten a hold of her family initially, and they said, I guess, she has some kind of, mental stuff going on.
- 30:04So just let her run it.
- 30:06Well, that's what they tried to get her to, committed to the, and she escaped.
- 30:09Yeah.
- 30:09McDonald's and the whole thing.
- 30:11You're right.
- 30:11I forgot about the McDonald's trip.
- 30:12It'll get to it.
- 30:13So Bilal says that Dubai don't play and, They're really hoping she comes back to Pakistan because of how she acted in Pakistan and Dubai.
- 30:21It's not going to go good for her.
- 30:23It's not going to be the same.
- 30:24They're not going to give her the same kindness.
- 30:26it's going to be like lights out for her.
- 30:28Okay.
- 30:29so he did say though that in Pakistan, because they love her so much that they have made chips.
- 30:35And they put her face on the bag and, hold on, and him laughing was like, and then this just gets better because the name of it is American Popper and that translates to American Cracker.
- 30:53You can't tell me that wasn't planned.
- 30:55That marketing department is genius.
- 30:58I was laughing.
- 30:59That's funny.
- 31:00So hard.
- 31:01I'm like, she's not an American cracker.
- 31:03She's not an American cracker, but that's hilarious.
- 31:06Yes.
- 31:07And now I know I will not forget the name of her chips.
- 31:09You is giggling.
- 31:11I want a food named after me.
- 31:13Well, what would it be?
- 31:16A Waffle House sandwich.
- 31:18Nothing fancy.
- 31:20What would it be on it?
- 31:21Um, okay.
- 31:21So it would be on toast.
- 31:23Okay.
- 31:23White toast.
- 31:24Okay.
- 31:24Forget that option.
- 31:25It would be a bacon, egg and cheese, American cheese, extra cheese and mayo.
- 31:31Okay.
- 31:32That would be the Merida special.
- 31:34I would be like a hash brown special.
- 31:36Oh, I like their hash browns too with the cheese.
- 31:38Apparently I like cheese a lot.
- 31:39Me too.
- 31:40So mine would be the cheddar, like I'm a cheddar girl.
- 31:43Yeah.
- 31:43So it would be like hash browns, egg, bacon, and cheddar.
- 31:47Oh, that sounds good.
- 31:48And then either like a salsa on it.
- 31:51Oh yeah.
- 31:52Or ketchup.
- 31:54Yeah.
- 31:55You know, salsa on something like that.
- 31:57Like salsa on an omelet.
- 31:59Sounds exotic.
- 32:01Ketchup sounds like redneck.
- 32:07Isn't that funny?
- 32:08I like pico de gallo.
- 32:09Oh, now you fancy, fancy.
- 32:12So, yeah.
- 32:13So we got the Steph special and the Meredith masterpiece.
- 32:15There you go.
- 32:16Go to Waffle House, ask for those.
- 32:17They'll know exactly what you're talking about.
- 32:20Um, there is a new show on Netflix.
- 32:24Okay.
- 32:24And I don't know if it's new.
- 32:25I just.
- 32:26So new to you, new to me.
- 32:27but it is based on a true story in Australia.
- 32:32So far, all the things I like.
- 32:33Yeah.
- 32:33So it's called apple cider vinegar.
- 32:36I don't like it.
- 32:38Yes.
- 32:41It's terrible.
- 32:43Oh my gosh.
- 32:44so it is based off of a true crime story in Australia.
- 32:49Um, the woman's name is Belle Gibson.
- 32:52Um, she was an assault.
- 32:54Not mail.
- 32:55Bell.
- 32:55Bell.
- 32:56Bell.
- 32:56Okay.
- 32:57I didn't even get that.
- 32:59It just clicked.
- 33:02Bell Gibson, an Australian wellness blogger, rose to fame by claiming that she had cured her terminal brain cancer through natural remedies, diet, and alternative therapies.
- 33:12She built a successful brand, The Whole Pantry, which included a popular app and cookbook and gained massive following by promoting her story of survival.
- 33:21However, in 2015, investigations revealed that her cancer diagnosis was fabricated, And she had lied about donating proceeds from her business to charity.
- 33:29The scandal led to widespread outrage, legal action, and the collapse of her empire.
- 33:34Gibson was fined for deceptive conduct and her case became a cautionary tale of misinformation and the dangers of exploiting trust in the wellness industry.
- 33:43So this is loosely based on that.
- 33:45Okay.
- 33:46But I just thought interesting.
- 33:48we had watched that other one.
- 33:50the lady that wrote all the bad checks.
- 33:52Oh yeah.
- 33:52Do you know what I'm talking about?
- 33:53I do.
- 33:53I can't remember what that's called.
- 33:55Me either.
- 33:56But, so that was like loosely based on a real true crime or whatever.
- 34:00Did you watch the one, with Jessica Biel where she was like this curly, I think it was called candy.
- 34:06Yes.
- 34:07She looks so different.
- 34:09I think she's really pretty.
- 34:10I do too.
- 34:11Um, she's got like that sporty.
- 34:12Yeah, spice vibe Like an athletic.
- 34:15Yeah natural, Speaking of, and I know we don't want to go too deep in it because I don't know all the deeps, but the Blake Lively thing is still going on and things are coming out.
- 34:27I think I was wrong in my assessment of her.
- 34:31Uh, she uh, and then Ryan Reynolds is apparently a horrible human being.
- 34:38So it makes me so sad.
- 34:39Me too.
- 34:39Like, I just don't want to know these things.
- 34:41I feel like I don't want to, I mean, I need to, but I don't want to.
- 34:44Ignorance is bliss.
- 34:45Yeah.
- 34:45A hundred percent.
- 34:46So now we, we have to.
- 34:49I don't like, right.
- 34:50Cause now we're accountable for what we know.
- 34:52I know.
- 34:53I still want to watch.
- 34:54So, another simple favor.
- 34:56Yeah.
- 34:56What's that?
- 34:57Did you watch the first Simple Favorites?
- 34:59Like Simple Favorites with Anna Kendrick and, um, and Blake Lively?
- 35:03No! It's on Netflix.
- 35:04Okay.
- 35:04but it's Wait! Wait! Wait! Yeah, okay.
- 35:06Uh, well, it's like a kind of I mean rom com.
- 35:08Yeah.
- 35:09No, not really It's like a little bit like a suspense Oh, okay drama ish.
- 35:13Yeah.
- 35:13Okay.
- 35:14it's based off of a book.
- 35:15I think okay It was originally a book but they made like a second movie for it And apparently anna kendrick didn't want to do it because she doesn't like like lively What and there was like some like tension, but it went it was like a straight to like cable type of thing Like in the movies.
- 35:28Yeah, they didn't have to promote it together.
- 35:30Okay, but yeah, so Apparently Blake Lively is not very well liked.
- 35:37She's not this like super fun, bubbly Serena.
- 35:40She's not what she Yeah.
- 35:42Yeah.
- 35:43She's not Could be Serena.
- 35:44I know.
- 35:45Could always be Serena in my head.
- 35:46Twice.
- 35:47Yeah.
- 35:47Oh well.
- 35:49So, she wasn't my favorite on that show anyway.
- 35:51Blair was.
- 35:53I never watched it.
- 35:53Shut up.
- 35:55I don't know why.
- 35:56I've had a lot of people, it's Gossip Girl, right?
- 35:58Uh huh.
- 35:58Yeah, I've had a lot of people tell me.
- 35:59Should I watch it?
- 36:01It's so good.
- 36:02Is it?
- 36:03I watched it, like, when it was on real TV, though, like, so it was a long time ago.
- 36:06I am looking for a new show.
- 36:08Oh my gosh.
- 36:09I've been watching a little bit of How to Get Away with Murder.
- 36:11Did you ever watch that?
- 36:12I did, yeah.
- 36:12That's pretty good.
- 36:13It was.
- 36:14I get lost in it because like I'll start scrolling and then I forget to pay attention and all those things, you know.
- 36:20I've been having a hard time staying in a show.
- 36:22Mm hmm.

- 39:04No.
- 39:06Did you have another one?
- 39:10Hey there.
- 39:10I know the title sounds stupid and I made this account just to ask, but here it goes.
- 39:15The name is Hamilton Boy.
- 39:18Yesterday I invited four of my friends to watch the Super Bowl at my house.
- 39:21I made food and drink arrangements and everything was going great.
- 39:24I have an elderly dog with three legs and he drools a lot.
- 39:29My guest kept commenting on how it was not hygienic for the dog to be in the room and how he's drooling all over the floor and he's ugly.
- 39:35The comments didn't stop so I told everyone to leave.
- 39:37Now my friends are not talking to me because I ruined their game experience.
- 39:41So Reddit, am I the A Hulk?
- 39:42No! What?
- 39:44You need new friends.
- 39:45And just get another dog.
- 39:49No, don't get rid of him, but get rid of the friends and add a dog to take up this, the, the bad friend space.
- 39:57I can't imagine.
- 39:58But have you seen those signs?
- 40:00And I think they're like welcome mats too.
- 40:02We probably both need some.
- 40:04Let's say like the dog lives here.
- 40:05You don't.
- 40:06Yeah.
- 40:07Deal with it.
- 40:08You're visiting.
- 40:08Yeah.
- 40:09Up here.
- 40:09Yeah.
- 40:10Sweet baby.
- 40:11Oh, man.
- 40:11No, that was unanimous decision with that one.
- 40:14Immediately.
- 40:16Yeah, leave my dog alone.
- 40:17Don't even put dog in a story because we're not going to take anybody's side other than the dogs.
- 40:25All right.
- 40:25So if you are not our bookies.
- 40:30Please leave.
- 40:31Oh, go on bookies.
- 40:33All right, so bye uneducated people.
- 40:36We still love you, but you may not be our favorite.
- 40:41But you can be our favorite if you leave a review.
- 40:44Yes.
- 40:45Okay, do that.
- 40:46Yep.
- 40:47All right.
- 40:47My slobs.
- 40:50so this week we read Every Last Fear by Alex Finley.
- 40:54Yes.
- 40:54And I did ask chat JBT to give me a little blurb.
- 40:56Okay.
- 40:57A little mini blurb.
- 40:58Mini blurb.
- 41:00It's already a blurb and now we need it even smaller.
- 41:02Yeah, ask for like three sentences or less.
- 41:03Perfect.
- 41:04Let's go.
- 41:05Every Last Fear by Alex Finley follows NYU student Matt Pine as he uncovers the dark truths surrounding his family's tragic history.
- 41:13After his family is found dead in Mexico under suspicious circumstances, Matt delves into the investigation revealing secrets tied to his older brother Danny's wrongful conviction for murder.
- 41:23The story weaves between past and present, exploring themes of loyalty, justice, and devastating consequences of hidden truths.
- 41:31So this is going to be full of spoilers.
- 41:33You have to heads up if you haven't read it and you don't want spoilers.
- 41:37So I told you when we were reading the blurb last week that I was going to get lost.
- 41:41Yes.
- 41:41I got lost.
- 41:42Did you?
- 41:42I did.
- 41:43Okay.
- 41:43Did you?
- 41:43I did not.
- 41:44Cause you're so smart.
- 41:47Yeah, I did.
- 41:48I did.
- 41:48Somewhere in the middle towards the end.
- 41:51There was a lot going on because there was different, like many different points of view.
- 41:55There was many timeline switches.
- 41:57Yes.
- 41:58and there was so many characters.
- 41:59Yes.
- 42:00So we went from, Matt's current point of view of him being in college, finding out about his family.
- 42:06Then we went to the timeline of when the brother got arrested and when his girlfriend got murdered.
- 42:13And then, we went on the point of view of the family.
- 42:18and for an after right before they got murdered.
- 42:21Yeah, not after they got murdered, but, but before and after, um, the conviction of the son, right?
- 42:28So there was a lot of different timelines.
- 42:29Yes.
- 42:30So I understand where you got confused.
- 42:32So in the family, there was all the mom, dad and the sister.
- 42:38It really didn't do much with the other brothers point of view.
- 42:40But then you also had the friends, the agent's point of view, and then like the, the past and current friends, it was just, it was a lot.
- 42:50Yeah did you like it?
- 42:52Did you like the story?
- 42:52Like the premise of the story?
- 42:53I did.
- 42:54Okay.
- 42:54I did.
- 42:55I liked it a lot.
- 42:56It has so much potential.
- 42:58I just.
- 42:58did not have that brain potential.
- 43:00I think this would make a really cool tv show.
- 43:03Oh yeah.
- 43:03Like a Netflix series.
- 43:05There was so much going on and I didn't get lost with the story but I got lost with the people.
- 43:11Okay.
- 43:12Like I would forget who Olivia was and had to be like okay what's her last name like and I know I think reading it is different because you know you retain different when you read so I think if I would actually read it.
- 43:22Yeah.
- 43:23It would have felt better, but I thought it was a really cool story.
- 43:26Yeah.
- 43:26so Matt is in like his first year of college or something 19.
- 43:32Yeah.
- 43:32And so I'm thinking like Dylan's 17.
- 43:35He's 18.
- 43:35I'm thinking of him going to Mexico by himself.
- 43:38with nobody else to this, like, random place that you have to take.
- 43:44Not like Cancun with the hotels everywhere, but like middle of nowhere.
- 43:47Yeah.
- 43:48and almost getting kidnapped or, you know, whatever.
- 43:52and then having to deal with the, the mean, awful police that are crooked there.
- 43:56Yeah.
- 43:56And well, and just the fact of how he got there and him taking the cash out, like having that forethought.
- 44:05Yeah.
- 44:05Yeah.
- 44:06Jackson's not far from that age.
- 44:07And I am like, first of all, that's on the FBI or whoever was like, why was there not an agent with him?
- 44:14Right.
- 44:16Well, and that was part of probably his naivety.
- 44:19Right?
- 44:19Like, he was like, well, but the, I think that the FBI should have been like, no, this is like a FBI issue going there with you.
- 44:26Right.
- 44:26Here is your room.
- 44:27Here is your right.
- 44:28There is no reason to send a kid.
- 44:30No.
- 44:31To mexico like that.
- 44:33Yeah, I was right.
- 44:34I was too because I was expecting them to Accompany him and to have everything organized and be there with him not and then he gets there and there's nobody there And there's nobody there.
- 44:45He had to figure all that out.
- 44:46but even with all of that I liked young matt I thought he was a nice kid.
- 44:52Um Like, he was like, do you want me, you know, talking to Hank, do you want me to walk you to your car?
- 44:58Do you want me to, you know, I thought he was a respectful kid.
- 45:01Yeah.
- 45:01He came across that way to me.
- 45:03She's a bum.
- 45:04Oh, okay.
- 45:07Yeah.
- 45:07So, I thought that the big twist at the end, finding out who actually, who done it, who did it, So, all right.
- 45:19Obviously spoilers, right?
- 45:20So the mom had the affair Yeah.
- 45:22With the mayor or the governor, whomever, whatever the his Yeah.
- 45:25Political thing was.
- 45:26Yes.
- 45:27And, he was involved in the coverup.
- 45:31Yep.
- 45:32because his son was the killer.
- 45:34Yeah.
- 45:35Accidental killer.
- 45:36It was whatever.
- 45:37We don't actually know.
- 45:38I don't think we ever actually figured out, like if it was an accident or if it was on purpose or whatever.
- 45:43Right.
- 45:43but it was a coverup and.
- 45:47So he hires somebody to kill a family because they're getting too close to finding out what's going on, but not realizing he kills his own son.
- 45:55Cause the baby, the baby, but like the five year old, right.
- 45:58mom had the affair with him and it was actually his baby daddy.
- 46:01Yep.
- 46:02And so he killed his own kid.
- 46:04Yeah.
- 46:05or his other kid.
- 46:05Yeah.
- 46:06And I.
- 46:08And the dad knew all along.
- 46:10I know.
- 46:11I know.
- 46:12And it was so casual, kind of the way that he was like, uh.
- 46:16I mean, it wasn't like a big.
- 46:17No, he had accepted it a while ago.
- 46:20He went through it.
- 46:21Yeah, he just wanted his family.
- 46:23And he loved the kid.
- 46:25So that was, I wanted more story on Danny.
- 46:30Yeah.
- 46:31I wanted some more of his point of view.
- 46:33It just would make such a good show.
- 46:35Like you would have like the, the jail aspect, I mean, no, I love prison stuff.
- 46:39Yeah.
- 46:40And cause when, when Matt went to jail to tell Danny about the family and the guard was like, you better get it together.
- 46:47You can't go weakness.
- 46:47Right.
- 46:49So like there has to be such a good story.
- 46:51Storyline yeah out of that especially too because um, danny Gets beat or something and he almost doesn't make it.
- 47:01And so you have that aspect too.
- 47:03Well he was hired, the dude that beat him by the governor guy or Yes.
- 47:08His position is.
- 47:09But also, yeah, but that folded into it too.
- 47:13Yeah, I think you're right.
- 47:14I think he'd be a great show.
- 47:14He would make an amazing show.
- 47:17Yeah.
- 47:17Netflix.
- 47:19Do it you won't Um, I really liked it though, even though I did, you know get lost a little got lost a little bit I think that was on me.
- 47:29But what would you rate it?
- 47:31I'd still give it like a How I'd give it a I thought the storyline was really cool.
- 47:36It was different.
- 47:36Yeah How about you?
- 47:38I go like eight eight and a half maybe yeah, but again I want to see it as a show like I want more like more background on everybody, right?
- 47:46I'd like for it to be a show series right like not just them like you said not a movie but a show Yeah, give me all I want Dig deep cuz then you've got like the past like the high school drama.
- 47:58Oh, yeah, cuz apparently the girlfriend was kind of like a hoochie Yep, like mm hmm and lots of guys and you could also dig into the like the agent's life and all her stuff She had going on.

- 48:30Are we going to continue with it?
- 48:32Yes.
- 48:32Okay.

- 48:35Okay, usually we know by the first like couple chapters.
- 48:39Yeah, it's gonna.

- 48:41Like first chapter.
- 48:41Okay.
- 48:42Okay, cool.
- 48:43when single mom Joe.
- 48:45Dykstra was at her lowest, jobless and penniless.
- 48:49Her childhood friend Dana McFarland helped her out big time by securing her a teaching job and thus an opportunity for a new life in the affluent Pacific Northwest town of Gloves Bay.
- 49:01So when Joe gets a frantic late night call from Dana, sobbing and desperate for help, it's like I do to you.
- 49:07Stop.
- 49:09It feels like a chance to help her friend in return.
- 49:12The last thing Jo expects to see when she arrives at Dana's oceanfront mansion, her friend's handsome and wealthy husband Stan, dead, sprawled face down on the floor.
- 49:21Dana admits to killing her husband following years of secret abuse.
- 49:24and begs Joe not to call the police.
- 49:27For nearly two decades, Dana's marriage and family had looked picture perfect.
- 49:31Who'd ever believe that the pillar of the community, Stan, was a monster?
- 49:35Determined to cover up her husband's killing and shield her kids from scandal, Dana convinces Joe to help her dispose of the body.
- 49:41But the cover up starts to crumble when a blackmailer threatens to expose their crime.
- 49:46Hounded by gossipy neighbors, Ill fated lovers and zealous cops.
- 49:50Truth and lies are laid bare between Joe and Dana, putting their families in danger and threatening to shatter a 30 year friendship.
- 49:57Shocking and fast paced, A Friend in Deed is a riveting tale about the power of friendship and the deadly weight of lies.
