  I wasn't prepared to hit the wrong button, but to be fair,
• 0:47
  there's also like 3. I'm fine, it's fine, it's fine.
• 0:53
  I'm like, the first one's got to be the right one, right?
• 0:55
  No, apparently. Not I was distracted because I
• 0:58
  look like and I wasn't, I wasn't ready.
• 1:02
  Welcome to live with Fifi of Freddie.
• 1:06
  We are in the future and this is your Wednesday night
• 1:10
  conversation. We did not plan our looks to
• 1:15
  kind of be matching, by the way. I mean, we've been talking all
• 1:18
  day, but we did not talk about our.
• 1:20
  No, not even a little bit. That's the uncanny part about
• 1:28
  this, that is that every time somehow, and I want to say he is
• 1:35
  not down the street. It's not like I like, walk by
• 1:38
  his house. No.
• 1:40
  And this was almost like this was decided around lunchtime
• 1:43
  today because I had to come back and see what I could find back
• 1:46
  here that was going to like it was it was the and I almost did
• 1:50
  like a robot look. So I almost matched Felicia even
• 1:53
  more. I am your AI assistant.
• 1:58
  Fifi GPT. Oh, do you work at Stacy's?
• 2:03
  I'm sorry, what? Sorry.
• 2:04
  Just kidding. Whoa, whoa, wow.
• 2:13
  Well, I'm sure we'll talk about it 'cause this is, this is, if
• 2:19
  not anything, informative and educational.
• 2:25
  Something. We are definitely something.
• 2:29
  We have a jam packed show. We have, you know, the White
• 2:34
  House is losing it and specifically the Oompa Loompa in
• 2:38
  charge is losing it. I think I could be wrong but.
• 2:44
  I think it he done lost it. It's been it, it it's.
• 2:47
  Been done, lost, and now what the fuck is happening?
• 2:51
  We're going to talk about intentions for 2026.
• 2:57
  Fuck it. It's like surviving it if you're
• 2:59
  queer and other good things. But let's get into it.
• 3:07
  I don't have a question this week.
• 3:09
  I could not think of 1. Maybe it's like what is your
• 3:13
  intention for 2026 other than surviving 'cause I just thought
• 3:21
  that's for me. I think it is like personal
• 3:30
  growth. Oops, sorry, I meant to turn
• 3:33
  this off but I got distracted by my mustache.
• 3:37
  It's looking less mustache Y, but still sort of mustache Y,
• 3:39
  but it's fine. It's OK anyway, but I feel like
• 3:46
  this is the year that I need to do things to put pedal to the
• 3:50
  metal. But doing that within my mental
• 3:55
  realm of things cause usually I push the pedal to the metal and
• 3:59
  then. Right.
• 4:02
  It's it's balance, balance. So we'll see how that goes,
• 4:09
  right? Yeah.
• 4:11
  I'm gonna talk about mine later. Oh, OK.
• 4:18
  If you have not been following us on Patreon, you're missing
• 4:21
  out on a whole lot. And like in the last couple
• 4:25
  seasons, I want to say like, maybe we didn't put it like a
• 4:27
  lot, but this season there is definitely content on the
• 4:32
  Patreon. For how?
• 4:35
  Sorry, I'm fine, I'm fine, I'm fine, everything is fine.
• 4:41
  But yes, definitely. And if you are not a part of our
• 4:44
  Patreon, you should be because tonight for part of our after
• 4:49
  show, I'm going to do a tarot reading for Felicia for the new
• 4:53
  year, which might you, I'm not a pro, but I managed to muddle
• 4:57
  through and we're going to talk about the tarot that I the, the
• 5:00
  reading that I did for myself later.
• 5:03
  But and you this will only be available to our Patreon
• 5:07
  subscribers. Suburberers, we'd like to thank
• 5:11
  our patrons, Bill, Brandon, Cassandra, Chris and Michelle D,
• 5:17
  Drake, Jensen and Michael Casey, Star, Carrie and Corey, Joan,
• 5:22
  Laura, Adam, Askew and the Grand Arbiter, Nicole, Patricia, Mason
• 5:27
  and Shannon. I did see a couple of people
• 5:29
  join and I will update. I think that most of the names
• 5:34
  that we have on here that we say out loud are from our paid
• 5:40
  subscribers. So if you're a paid subscriber
• 5:42
  and I haven't updated you, I apologize, but if you're a free
• 5:46
  subscriber, I. We appreciate you anyway.
• 5:49
  We appreciate you, but you have not been called out right?
• 5:56
  So we appreciate all the things. And a huge shout out to Wigs of
• 6:01
  a Kind for supporting us this season.
• 6:04
  This is a Wigs of a Kind wig, circa.
• 6:09
  It's been a few years, I think. 1.
• 6:13
  But it's still in good shape, which gives you an idea of like
• 6:17
  longevity. And I, I wish.
• 6:20
  Well, maybe on the Patreon I'll show you a not so glamorous tour
• 6:24
  of the drag room. This is actually a Wigs of a
• 6:29
  Kind wig as well as one of the new ones, but I need to figure
• 6:33
  out a good way to style it. I think I have to wash it and
• 6:36
  kind of redo it a little bit because I really like it.
• 6:40
  I love the colors, but I need to find a way the, the, this is one
• 6:45
  of those, the Mohawks where The thing is only about yay long.
• 6:50
  So I have to style it in a way so that I can, you know, but
• 6:55
  it's interesting the way the colors are.
• 6:56
  It makes it a little bit tricky. I tried to kind of redo things a
• 7:00
  little bit tonight. It didn't work so well, but it's
• 7:02
  fine. It still works so I will I will
• 7:07
  be re fixing it at some point in the future.
• 7:11
  Also, reach out to Marissa. She will.
• 7:14
  She can tell you, 'cause I have restyled a couple on my own
• 7:21
  instead of sending them back and she can not walk you through.
• 7:26
  Well, sometimes she can, but like if you tell her what's
• 7:29
  going on and then kind of she'll walk you through it.
• 7:34
  True story. So we want to thank Winks of a
• 7:36
  kind. If you want to support our show,
• 7:41
  support our show. Send us a message.
• 7:46
  Find us, send us money, please. Thanks.
• 7:54
  We're sitting here waiting for your money.
• 7:59
  Right. Please make it so I don't.
• 8:01
  If I could like, earn enough to do this shit so I don't have to,
• 8:03
  like, do the corporate bullshit anymore, that would be
• 8:06
  delightful. So we could figure out how to
• 8:08
  make that work. Not delightful.
• 8:13
  So yeah, reach out to us. How so?
• 8:16
  We've been gone for approximately 2 weeks, almost 3.
• 8:26
  How was your time off 'cause we were originally gonna come back
• 8:30
  on the 31st? I I was, I was gonna come back
• 8:34
  and do a show on the 31st, but I ended up not feeling great for
• 8:38
  most of that week like this. I just, I wasn't, I was, it was
• 8:42
  not great. I wasn't feeling well for like 3
• 8:47
  nights in a row. I would like take Nyquil and
• 8:50
  just pass out. Like I don't generally do that
• 8:52
  and I don't generally go to bed that early.
• 8:54
  And it was like, that's where I was at.
• 8:55
  So. Oh.
• 8:56
  Wow. Yeah, yeah.
• 9:00
  So we took off Christmas Eve, which means that we have to
• 9:05
  catch up on Christmas. Christmas for us was pretty
• 9:07
  chill. It's my son's birthday, so we do
• 9:12
  like gifts for everybody in the morning, and then the rest of
• 9:15
  the day is whatever he wants to do for his birthday, which is
• 9:18
  usually a movie and then lasagna.
• 9:21
  So we went to go see Zootopia 2, which was really cute if you
• 9:26
  haven't seen it yet. Oh, really?
• 9:28
  I I liked it the first one. The first one is good too, so.
• 9:34
  The first one was good. I actually think the second one
• 9:36
  was better. I know it doesn't usually
• 9:41
  happen, but it's also one of those things where some of it
• 9:49
  kind of hits a little too close to home, no?
• 9:53
  Spoilers. But just it's, it's good.
• 9:56
  I recommend it. It's a good one actually.
• 9:59
  And in fact, there's there's a conversation towards the end
• 10:02
  between Nick and the fuck is the rabbit's name Hops?
• 10:13
  Yeah, what's I don't remember what her first name is, but it's
• 10:18
  it's a conversation between the two of them and they're they're
• 10:21
  they're talking about like their emotional stuff.
• 10:25
  And that was like, OK, this movie doesn't know me at all,
• 10:29
  that it's complete bullshit. But it was it was it.
• 10:38
  Was Judy get out of my business Oh yeah, that's.
• 10:41
  Right. Yeah, it was, it was funny.
• 10:42
  My partner was sitting next to me and she was like, ha, ha,
• 10:44
  that's you. And then the rabbit started
• 10:46
  talking and I was like, but it was, it was cute.
• 10:52
  I, I recommend it. I made lasagna so 'cause that's
• 10:56
  what he always wants for his birthday.
• 10:58
  So I made lasagna. It was delicious because I made
• 11:02
  it. In fact, it was good that it was
• 11:06
  like everybody went back for like seconds.
• 11:10
  At. Least seconds even Michaela ate
• 11:13
  it and Michaela doesn't eat lasagna right.
• 11:17
  So I I was, I'm I was alright. I was pretty good with that.
• 11:22
  I don't get the day after Christmas off.
• 11:23
  So I worked worked. It was slow, so I didn't really
• 11:28
  too much at work 'cause it was, you know, most why there was
• 11:36
  like, but why? It was.
• 11:38
  Stupid. I don't understand why we don't
• 11:40
  have that day off like I don't understand why it it should just
• 11:43
  be standard to have like the day after Christmas and like the day
• 11:46
  after Thanksgiving off. If we're gonna, if you're gonna
• 11:48
  give us these days off in the middle of the fucking week, just
• 11:50
  give us the Friday like. Why it's dumb?
• 11:56
  But that's OK. So you just.
• 11:57
  Went to work for one day. Yeah.
• 12:00
  And then, yeah, it was. It's stupid.
• 12:03
  New Year's Eve was we were like boring and old.
• 12:08
  We stayed home. I made.
• 12:13
  There's nothing. Wrong with her, No.
• 12:15
  No, I mean I made Korean food for myself, my partner and her
• 12:19
  other partner. The fireworks here are always
• 12:22
  crazy, so we had to make sure that the dogs were nicely
• 12:25
  sedated. It was in like, at what time did
• 12:30
  yours? Start going off.
• 12:32
  Christmas Eve, like we seriously like people.
• 12:40
  We get like messages from like some of our friends and they're
• 12:42
  like, wow, it's crazy here. And we're like, yeah, this is
• 12:45
  like a Tuesday. Like the not it's but we were
• 12:51
  like there was some I think people got a hold of like some M
• 12:54
  80s or like some of the big suckers because we're we're like
• 12:57
  what the fuck? This is worse than usual, even.
• 13:00
  Like they should not be allowed to be sold.
• 13:03
  They should not. Oh, we lost Felicia.
• 13:09
  That's fun. Yeah, it was.
• 13:14
  It was loud and it was obnoxious and it was dumb.
• 13:18
  But we basically, we sat on the couch, we ate food, and then we
• 13:26
  had Picard on because my partner wanted to show her other partner
• 13:31
  Picard. So they were watching Picard and
• 13:35
  I was sitting sort of on the other side of the couch reading.
• 13:38
  And I was in bed before like 1:00 AM because I'm old.
• 13:47
  Welcome back, Oh my God. I'm like, where did you go?
• 13:55
  Yeah, it was. And then my partner's birthday
• 13:59
  is on the 4th. So it's like right after New
• 14:02
  Year's, we have her birthday and we just did like a right, we
• 14:08
  just did like a, a small game night with just like a few
• 14:11
  people. I made a little bit of food.
• 14:14
  We had some folks come over. We played bad interviews, which
• 14:18
  is if you, if you've never played bad interviews, I highly
• 14:20
  recommend it. It's OK.
• 14:21
  So and. I don't know what it is so.
• 14:25
  You know how it's like you, you have Cards Against Humanity and
• 14:27
  you have to like come up with the right like the the best
• 14:29
  answer or whatever it is. OK, so similar sort of format,
• 14:33
  right? But you have the manager and
• 14:37
  everybody has these cards and there's there's, there's a job
• 14:44
  card and then there are qualification cards.
• 14:49
  And what you have to do is using the qualification cards that you
• 14:52
  have. You have to interview, you have
• 14:55
  to explain to the manager why you are the best person for this
• 14:59
  job. And it can be things like yes.
• 15:03
  So for an as an example, one of them was furniture tester and my
• 15:12
  qualifications were whimsically violent, something else and a
• 15:21
  cavernous front butt. So you, you, you have to be able
• 15:25
  to, it gets absolutely fucking ridiculous.
• 15:29
  And we were playing with like a bunch of theater nerds and
• 15:32
  performers. So it just got like it, it, it
• 15:36
  went like off the rails. But it it's fun.
• 15:38
  It's a good one. So if you're a fan of game
• 15:40
  nights, I highly recommend bad interviews.
• 15:43
  It was, it was good. Sat in the hot tub for a little
• 15:46
  bit, watched some 80s movies. So it was, it was good.
• 15:50
  It was chill and, you know, I, my, my partner seemed to have a
• 15:54
  good time. So that's, I guess that's all
• 15:56
  that matters. And so it was her birthday and a
• 16:00
  friend brought her a gift of another game that we need to
• 16:05
  try. It's called bad therapists, I
• 16:08
  think, or something like that. We're like, Oh my gosh, shut up.
• 16:11
  I can't imagine what that is like.
• 16:14
  So yeah, so we need another game night, like, soon.
• 16:18
  But yeah, what have you been up to since we've been off?
• 16:23
  Let's see. So Christmas I did the like run
• 16:30
  of shame kind of thing because I thought I was prepared, but I
• 16:35
  wasn't prepared. Santa was not fully prepared,
• 16:43
  but did the quick run around, did Christmas Day didn't really
• 16:49
  do much and I I blame that partially on like budget because
• 16:57
  like rent is due after Christmas.
• 17:00
  Yeah. So I was kind of being an adult
• 17:05
  and trying to be festive, but it was it was good.
• 17:14
  And I understand the the harshness or the, the difficulty
• 17:22
  behind having a child that is like, well, in your case, born
• 17:28
  on Christmas. So you have to like get a
• 17:30
  Christmas gift. And do you guys get a Christmas
• 17:32
  gift and a birthday gift or do you just get Christmas?
• 17:35
  Yeah, basically he he gets at least one of each.
• 17:40
  Yeah. So then I, I mean, she's young
• 17:46
  so I know she's not thinking about this at the moment, but I
• 17:51
  don't want 'cause I have friends that are like Christmas babies
• 17:57
  that are like, oh, I hated, you know, when my parents used to
• 18:01
  just give me a gift and say this is your Christmas and your
• 18:03
  birthday. So I don't know, I kind of carry
• 18:08
  that with me. Plus, my mom is born in January,
• 18:12
  and she always made a big deal about like, don't try to combine
• 18:15
  my presents, like, and I was like, OK, so I feel like she's
• 18:21
  in that category, right? And her birthday is five days
• 18:25
  after Christmas. So in my Christmas hurry I just
• 18:30
  ended up just putting those in there and then making sure I
• 18:33
  separated them out. Yeah, I don't know.
• 18:40
  I, I'm kind of over the whole like spending a ton of money on
• 18:45
  like Christmas gifts and stuff. Like we, we, we kind of talked
• 18:49
  about this, how like, and my partner and I have talked about
• 18:52
  this, how we prefer, like we're going to spend money and we'd
• 18:55
  rather spend it on an experience or a trip or something.
• 19:00
  Like because you spend all this money on gifts and shit for
• 19:05
  especially for like kids and they're like, this is cool and
• 19:10
  like you never see it again or it breaks or like, you know what
• 19:14
  I mean? Like it's.
• 19:17
  And I'm more of a practical, well, despite some of the gifts
• 19:23
  that I bought you in the recent years, but I well, those are
• 19:27
  practical, but I feel like I'm more of a practical gift
• 19:31
  together. I have.
• 19:32
  My hooks, my my, my bear and my moose are are holding things
• 19:36
  currently. It's a very practical gift and
• 19:38
  if. You're new to the podcast and
• 19:40
  have not ever heard this story. I didn't get you a gift last
• 19:46
  year, I don't think, but we'll have to continue the tradition
• 19:49
  this year. Every last couple years, I don't
• 19:54
  know what was up with my karma with Amazon, but every time I
• 20:00
  bought Freddie a gift, I would be like, OK, it's on its way.
• 20:04
  And he'd be like, so is it a moose?
• 20:07
  And I'd be like, no. And then I sent a picture.
• 20:11
  It was. Supposed to be like a skull that
• 20:13
  like sits in your bathroom and I'd be like, I sent you this and
• 20:16
  he's like, no, no. No, you didn't.
• 20:19
  It is a bear and a moose sitting in a canoe that goes on your
• 20:24
  wall and it has 2 little hook things like you would like hang
• 20:27
  your leashes or your keys or whatever on.
• 20:29
  And I was like, no, this is and twice, twice I sent it back and
• 20:34
  like resent it and reordered it and the same fucking thing came.
• 20:37
  So I'm like, you know what? I'm just keeping it.
• 20:38
  I'm keeping it forever because why the fuck I, you know, what I
• 20:43
  think we should start doing is you know how you can buy like
• 20:49
  like unopened boxes like from the, from the post office or
• 20:52
  from like Amazon, like things that have been returned or
• 20:54
  whatever are not delivered. That's.
• 20:56
  What we should do like if we're gonna do like.
• 20:59
  That's fear. This is what you get.
• 21:01
  I have no idea what the fuck it is.
• 21:02
  Enjoy. Oh my God, I don't.
• 21:06
  Know I'm. Just I don't know, like.
• 21:08
  The next year's party. Like don't get me wrong, I love
• 21:11
  what like what my my partner got me for for Christmas this year.
• 21:16
  My my elf quest comics have been like they're being re released
• 21:25
  in hardback cover, right? And it's like, I, you know, the,
• 21:32
  it, it sounds stupid because now I have like multiple copies of
• 21:35
  things, but this is, it's hardcover.
• 21:37
  My softcover ones from like almost 40 years ago are old and
• 21:41
  they're falling apart and they're hard to, I, I can't just
• 21:45
  pick them up and read that. I don't think there's.
• 21:46
  Anything wrong with that? Because I have like different
• 21:50
  versions of books, especially so I.
• 21:52
  I love that I do rewrite. Something then I'm like oh I
• 21:56
  need that copy. And then I, I tried to the
• 22:00
  things that I got for my partner for both Christmas and her
• 22:04
  birthday are things that we can use or she can use on our
• 22:08
  honeymoon at like Universal and Disney.
• 22:11
  So that was like it, it wasn't something that was just gonna,
• 22:15
  you know, it's like, oh, this is great.
• 22:16
  Thank you. You know what I mean?
• 22:17
  It was like it, it made sense. And then like, OK, I will talk
• 22:24
  about it on Patreon, but the kids with the kids got me.
• 22:34
  Bless their hearts. They tried.
• 22:35
  But Jesus Christ. We will definitely talk about it
• 22:37
  on Patreon though, because oh Lord so oh.
• 22:48
  I can't wait to hear. So New Year's was very chill.
• 22:54
  I so I don't have, I have over the air, you know the thing that
• 23:04
  sits on your TV, the antenna. Wow, that's that's.
• 23:11
  But I don't have like on the streaming services.
• 23:14
  I couldn't get the New Year's Rock and Eve.
• 23:18
  And I was like, so because of course Mariah Carey was on there
• 23:23
  and who else was I interested in DJ Cassidy, who got popular
• 23:30
  during the pandemic because he was doing like DJ ING on
• 23:33
  Instagram. So but which is pretty cool.
• 23:39
  If you ever, if you want to reference it, go look up DJ
• 23:44
  Cassidy, New Year's Rock and Eve or something.
• 23:47
  I don't remember how I looked it up, but it was like a live mash
• 23:51
  up almost like the artists were there.
• 23:56
  They weren't. It wasn't like him mixing.
• 23:59
  It was him mixing like the instrumental and they were
• 24:02
  actually there. So anyhow, so but I spent
• 24:08
  forever trying to look it up on the streaming services and I'm
• 24:11
  like, this is so odd. Like why wouldn't you have it
• 24:15
  streaming live? Like weird.
• 24:20
  Like it wasn't on YouTube or anything as far as I could see,
• 24:23
  so I had to watch over the air on the antenna.
• 24:28
  It's very weird. So.
• 24:32
  And that's about it. Were we here?
• 24:38
  No, we weren't here when I hosted.
• 24:41
  I hosted bingo for ACLU of Arizona while we were away and a
• 24:50
  couple of them watched this show.
• 24:54
  Oh so. Hey, hey, how are you?
• 24:59
  So there you have it, I and also do you keep the Christmas stuff
• 25:06
  up past the first or do you take?
• 25:09
  It down. Because.
• 25:11
  Of my partner's birthday, it all has to be down by the 4th, so it
• 25:17
  was pretty much all down by New Year's.
• 25:23
  I tried to take it down for the 30th, but I was like, there's no
• 25:27
  way. There's no way.
• 25:31
  So I did it that Friday after, But I was like, oh, I guess I
• 25:35
  got to get into the habit of taking it down for the first of
• 25:38
  the year. Did I did.
• 25:39
  We talk about what happened with me putting up.
• 25:41
  We did talk about the lights that happened.
• 25:43
  I think the issues. Yeah, we did.
• 25:45
  That's right. We did.
• 25:47
  Yeah. That still hasn't been resolved.
• 25:49
  It's fine. Fine and dandy.
• 25:52
  It'll be all OK, I promise. All right, let's get into the
• 25:58
  tip, shall we? Yeah.
• 26:14
  OK, so I figured tonight it's our, our, you know, it's our
• 26:20
  first episode of the new year, so why not sort of talk about
• 26:24
  what 2026 looks like for me, for Felicia, for y'all, for whoever
• 26:29
  is watching or listening. What does 2026 look like?
• 26:36
  I guess to do that we kind of have to look at a little bit
• 26:38
  about 2025, which for me 2025 had we had some great moments.
• 26:44
  In 2025, we kicked off the the year awesome.
• 26:51
  My partner and I went to San Francisco sort of a weekend
• 26:55
  birthday trip for her. That was great.
• 26:56
  It was so nice to not be here and to like be chilly and you
• 27:05
  know, stuff. And it was, you know, kind of
• 27:07
  riding that high after Christmas Carol and then going and, and
• 27:13
  being able to spend some time together in San Francisco like
• 27:15
  it was, it was really, really nice.
• 27:18
  March, of course, saw my proposal and then a wedding four
• 27:24
  days later, which that was definitely both of those things
• 27:31
  were, were definite highlights. It also in a lot of ways, 2025
• 27:42
  was not super awesome for me. It was like kind of like it was
• 27:50
  like March, like started like on a high.
• 27:54
  And then it just sort of like that.
• 27:57
  It was it like there was a slippery slope downhill and it
• 28:00
  kind of sucked, which was unfortunate.
• 28:04
  Some of the lessons that I learned in 2025 is And it really
• 28:11
  sucks because some of these are sort of like, well, yeah, duh.
• 28:13
  But I was surprised that I had to sort of relearn some of these
• 28:19
  things because not everyone who says they're your friend is your
• 28:27
  friend. People that I really kind of
• 28:33
  held in in high esteem turned out to be really not great,
• 28:39
  which was very surprising and really hurtful.
• 28:48
  I'm it's still one of those things where like I still think
• 28:50
  about it and I'm still like, what the fuck?
• 28:54
  Like it was seriously like that. It it put me into this like this
• 28:57
  for months. It was literally like, what the
• 28:58
  fuck? Which, you know, it was whatever
• 29:05
  I learned that I guess relearned because I always try to as
• 29:11
  grumpy as I may seem on the offset, I I do try to give
• 29:18
  people the benefit of the doubt and I do try to think the best
• 29:25
  of people. But like the community is very
• 29:31
  quick to hold some folks to account, but will continue to
• 29:35
  work with others who are just as problematic.
• 29:38
  And I don't know why, Like if they do it for the cloud, if
• 29:43
  they do it for the gigs, if it's one of those things where where
• 29:47
  it's, you know, well, they haven't done anything to me,
• 29:49
  even though the things that they're doing are harmful sort
• 29:54
  of for the community as a whole, you know what I mean?
• 29:57
  So it's like, but people are just like, well, it's fine, you
• 30:00
  know, they'll book me, so it's OK, you know what I mean?
• 30:03
  So it's like, and I, it was, there was a lot of
• 30:11
  disappointment in in 2025. Let's just say that I am glad
• 30:17
  that I have the people that I do have in my bubble, I am in, I'm
• 30:26
  I'm grateful for my partner. I, it would have been very, very
• 30:31
  difficult this year without my partner and without some of the
• 30:35
  friends that I have. But being able to go into the
• 30:41
  new year, I'm like, all right, I got AI, got a shift, I got a
• 30:46
  shift, got a shift of mindset, got a, got a, you know, reset to
• 30:51
  do, do something that is going to be better, you know, but
• 30:56
  what, what, what is that? And my partner and I always do
• 31:00
  like a New Year's like tarot reading for ourselves.
• 31:05
  And they've actually, for the most part are usually fairly
• 31:09
  accurate. Like I said, I'm not a pro by
• 31:13
  any means, but you know, I, I get through it.
• 31:21
  But the things that kind of resonated as far as, you know,
• 31:26
  2026, as far as the new year with my reading were things like
• 31:33
  anticipation and expansion and foresight.
• 31:36
  So, you know, I know better, so I can do better.
• 31:42
  You know, it's like, OK, I'm, I can't just blindly, you know, be
• 31:47
  like, you know, this person is amazing.
• 31:49
  This, you know what I mean, 'cause I, I need to, I need to
• 31:53
  go in with a little bit, a little bit of a grain of salt
• 31:57
  with some things because just to make sure that what happened
• 32:02
  last year does not happen again. Looking out for opportunities,
• 32:07
  travel, new ventures, moving forward with confidence,
• 32:12
  embracing New Horizons, a positive phase of growth and
• 32:18
  exploration outside of my comfort zone.
• 32:21
  Collaboration came up a few times in the cards.
• 32:28
  So, you know, basically it was like push through, you know,
• 32:33
  you're worth, go do the things, you know, reach out,
• 32:36
  collaborate, expand. So I am going to go into this
• 32:43
  year with and I, I OK, I say this, I say this a lot.
• 32:48
  People that know me know, I say this a lot.
• 32:50
  I don't always like the the methods that the universe
• 32:54
  chooses to teach lessons, but I trust that there is a reason for
• 33:00
  the lessons. Like sometimes I'm like
• 33:02
  seriously like there couldn't have been a better way to do
• 33:04
  this like this, this. There couldn't have been an
• 33:06
  easier way to teach me this whatever the fuck.
• 33:08
  Like really, I had to go through this.
• 33:09
  I also. I also feel that if the lessons
• 33:13
  were easy, no one would would learn true.
• 33:19
  But sometimes I'm just like, seriously, like you couldn't
• 33:22
  have just like, I don't know, given me like a pretty bird or
• 33:25
  something that would have been like, here's your, you know what
• 33:26
  I mean? A message on the cloud, you
• 33:28
  know, no, you got to put me through the fucking wringer for
• 33:31
  me to go, OK, fine, I fucking get it.
• 33:35
  So the things that you know, the, the, the, the, the universe
• 33:41
  was very loud last year as far as as some things and I, I get
• 33:49
  it. I hear you.
• 33:52
  So going into this year, I know my worth, I know my talent and I
• 34:02
  will use both where they are appreciated.
• 34:08
  So you have not done a tarot reading for me, but which ends
• 34:15
  what's I feel like I start my reflective before my birthday
• 34:21
  and which is October. And so like by the time I get
• 34:28
  here, I finally kind of it. And somebody asked me earlier
• 34:33
  like, why does it take so long? I'm like, but I feel like the
• 34:36
  good things are like things you put in the oven.
• 34:40
  They sometimes they take a minute, you know you don't.
• 34:43
  Just no. Not everything has to.
• 34:45
  Be an instant. Gratification kind of thing.
• 34:48
  Not everything has to be like, right here, right now, right
• 34:50
  this second, like, but I'm. One of those people that like
• 34:53
  I'm waiting for the pieces to come together and I, I think so
• 35:00
  and we have not talked about this.
• 35:02
  So my keyword that I picked for this year is worthy.
• 35:10
  I'm extremely worthy of happiness.
• 35:14
  I'm extremely worthy of carrying my own weight and not everybody
• 35:20
  else's. Because 2025 showed me that when
• 35:24
  I care, I care too much. And like every good thing, I get
• 35:31
  burned. So I can care, but I have to be
• 35:37
  able to care from a distance, right?
• 35:39
  It's. Like not, not everything is your
• 35:45
  problem, yeah. Like I can take it on, but OK,
• 35:50
  you're going through this. I have to like, 'cause I'm the
• 35:53
  person that's like, OK, let me sit.
• 35:55
  Let me grab a chair. I'll sit next to you.
• 35:57
  And then that person is like, OK, you did not need to sit
• 36:00
  there. And I'm like, OK, what?
• 36:06
  And by the end of it, I've become more of the victim and
• 36:10
  that person's out of it now, right?
• 36:13
  But I'm sitting in the in the stack.
• 36:15
  So then I'm like, but I was trying to help, right?
• 36:19
  And what right. And so many times that happened
• 36:26
  to me and I not just personally, but professionally, I I will not
• 36:35
  extend myself unless you ask 1st And I have to be aware that I
• 36:43
  am, I am a giver, but I cannot give where I'm not asked.
• 36:46
  So one of the. Things that that we always say,
• 36:49
  we, we say this to the kids and the stuff too is that helping is
• 36:52
  only helpful if the other person wants and or needs it.
• 36:58
  Like if you're trying to help me and I don't ask for it, I don't
• 37:01
  need it. You're not being helpful.
• 37:02
  You're actually now you're in my way.
• 37:04
  Like, like, you know, you're you, you, you, you, you know,
• 37:08
  you're, you're trying, you're trying to work on a project,
• 37:10
  right? Like you're trying to do
• 37:12
  something and then someone's like, Oh, here, let me help you.
• 37:14
  And they come in and you're like, I was fine.
• 37:17
  And now you have fucked it all up and now I have to redo it
• 37:21
  because you were trying to be helpful.
• 37:22
  Like, Oh my God, like help helping is only helpful if the
• 37:28
  other person thinks it is. Otherwise it's you're not
• 37:30
  helping. I will say that we're and I
• 37:37
  think this is going to be something that we're going to
• 37:38
  have to repeat a lot this year. We said it last year and I think
• 37:41
  we're going to have to keep saying it this year is finding
• 37:44
  joy in things. I am and and this is where
• 37:51
  sometimes having privilege is nice.
• 37:57
  It you know, and and I we acknowledge this, but I'm like,
• 38:02
  you know, I'm looking forward to things like our honeymoon at
• 38:06
  Universal and Disney. The kids are coming with us to
• 38:08
  Universal and then they're going away and we're going to Disney
• 38:11
  by ourselves, although friends are welcome to join us.
• 38:13
  Y'all want to come to Disneyland with us?
• 38:14
  Come to be just be kids with Disneyland.
• 38:16
  We're on for three days. It'll be fun come in March, but
• 38:19
  it's like we we need that while we can still do it.
• 38:27
  You know what I mean 'cause we don't know.
• 38:30
  The. The things are messy, messy
• 38:33
  right now. We don't know where things are
• 38:36
  going and what's going to be happening.
• 38:38
  And if you have the opportunity to do something or go somewhere
• 38:45
  and you're able to do it, do it. Because we don't know what's
• 38:49
  happening, you know, we don't know.
• 38:52
  We don't. We just don't know.
• 38:53
  Everything is so uncertain right now, especially with the way
• 38:56
  that this fucking government is. We have no idea what's going to
• 39:00
  be happening. We're going to be thrown into
• 39:01
  World War 3 next week and everything's going to go to
• 39:05
  shit, you know what I mean? So it's like while you are able
• 39:09
  to do things, if you are able to do things, do them.
• 39:16
  Don't feel guilty about doing them and you know, and then help
• 39:25
  and pay it forward where you can.
• 39:29
  You know, it's like I, it's, I think that it's, that is going
• 39:32
  to be very important going forward just because this is
• 39:35
  such a hot fucking mess right now.
• 39:44
  The extended trailer Lord. Speaking of dumpster fire.
• 39:52
  Let's get into it, OK?
• 40:16
  I trigger warning, if the latest administration has you up in
• 40:23
  arms, we're going to talk about it.
• 40:28
  So dump truck, dump truck, dump truck, dump truck, dump truck
• 40:34
  did a lot of things while we were gone and.
• 40:38
  That was just in the last like 24 hours.
• 40:42
  Dump truck? What the fuck Venezuela is that
• 40:50
  on here? Briefly it's it's it's mentioned
• 40:54
  down in in the thing with so for me.
• 40:57
  It's what the fuck? Because yeah, talk, talk, talk,
• 41:01
  talk, talk. It's about drugs.
• 41:03
  Talk, talk, talk, talk, talk. It's about drugs.
• 41:05
  Talk, talk, talk about drugs. We bomb them, we capture and.
• 41:11
  Kidnap, not capture. We kidnap, yes.
• 41:13
  Kidnap a leader from another country and then we all I hear
• 41:23
  and I don't maybe I'm not maybe I'm the only one that hears
• 41:26
  this, but I have not heard a word of finding the things that
• 41:33
  they were accused of for one. Secondly.
• 41:39
  A. Recovery plan?
• 41:40
  No, no, that's not. Balloons.
• 41:43
  No balloons. I have to find that I'm here.
• 41:46
  I want to turn it off when I'm on this.
• 41:49
  I'm sure my. Thumb will create a There we go.
• 41:56
  If you're on the podcast, I have a Mac and every time I put my
• 42:01
  thumb up or I do like the peace sign the webcam so while
• 42:09
  talking. About kidnapping the president
• 42:11
  of Venezuela, we have balloons, which is I'm not.
• 42:14
  Celebrating what's so up? I'm not looking to get cancelled
• 42:18
  anytime soon. So oh.
• 42:20
  God, anyhow. What day was that?
• 42:25
  It was just so weird. Like it was it?
• 42:27
  Was not that long ago. It was just, it was, I don't
• 42:29
  know, everything kind of blurs together with this
• 42:31
  administration. It's just.
• 42:33
  Weird. And all I keep hearing is about
• 42:37
  the oil, and now we're taking over the oil rig, 'cause that's
• 42:41
  all. It was.
• 42:42
  That's literally all it was. That had nothing to do with
• 42:43
  anything else. And granted, the president of
• 42:48
  Venezuela was not the best person on the planet.
• 42:52
  However, it is not up to us to be the world police and start
• 42:59
  kidnapping country's leaders and then start quote UN quote,
• 43:03
  running the country, which we're not doing anything.
• 43:06
  And then I. Hear that businesses are trying
• 43:08
  to get down there and I'm like for what's going on, like it.
• 43:13
  It's it was a complete farce and it was 100% illegal.
• 43:17
  There was you. You can't do shit like that
• 43:19
  without Congress giving the OK. No, there was.
• 43:23
  Nothing. So it's completely fucking
• 43:25
  illegal, but nobody seems to, well, like where?
• 43:31
  Where is Congress at this point? Where is away?
• 43:33
  With all of these things like how I don't.
• 43:37
  I don't I don't understand why people are not up in arms the,
• 43:41
  the, all the people that are all about the constitution, blah
• 43:43
  blah blah blah blah. Like those are the people that
• 43:46
  should be up in arms about all of this, but they're not.
• 43:50
  Nowhere to be, because they're all.
• 43:51
  Fucking hypocrites. Yeah, so that happened.
• 44:01
  And in a speech that Dump Truck gave at a retreat for House
• 44:09
  Republicans, he decided to bail on his teleprompter.
• 44:16
  Surprise. Not really.
• 44:20
  And when fact checked, he lied at least 18 times including
• 44:25
  Here's just a few. And do you know what's funny is
• 44:30
  like if you put in some of the things that he says on the other
• 44:41
  platform that is forbidden, is it will correct it it.
• 44:46
  Will, which I think is hysterical, fucking fucking
• 44:51
  their happy little like right wing AI is like oh, you said
• 44:55
  this also, it's bullshit. Sorry, like that?
• 44:58
  Yeah. So here we go.
• 45:01
  DC hasn't had a single murderer since he sent in the guard.
• 45:08
  In fact, there have been dozens of murders in the last seven
• 45:11
  months. It's not even remotely true.
• 45:17
  Said that a January 6th committee proved that he only
• 45:21
  urged people to go to the Capitol peacefully and
• 45:24
  patriotically. Did we all not just see him
• 45:28
  screaming into a mic and then disappear out of nowhere?
• 45:35
  So he did say peacefully and patriotically, but that was 20
• 45:39
  minutes after he told everybody to basically just storm the
• 45:41
  Capitol and take over and he. Was throwing his hands up in the
• 45:45
  air. Right.
• 45:46
  Yeah. Yeah, this is your.
• 45:49
  Time so. We all know that that's complete
• 45:52
  horseshit, OK? I wasn't there.
• 45:54
  I don't know, Maybe what we saw televised is something
• 45:59
  different. Maybe it was the extended
• 46:01
  version of the DVD that we didn't get right.
• 46:06
  Uh huh. Said again that 2020, the 2020
• 46:09
  election was rigged and that he won Minnesota, which is which he
• 46:17
  actually lost in 2016, 2020 and 2024.
• 46:24
  Yeah. 3 * 3 times he lost Minnesota.
• 46:28
  I mean, after a while, like, can you just like, leave that alone?
• 46:33
  Like, let's just say you lost, OK?
• 46:35
  Like you didn't. You didn't.
• 46:37
  You did not like, not even once, not even not even try.
• 46:40
  You didn't even try. Claimed he's dropped
• 46:45
  prescription truck prices by thousands of a percent.
• 46:52
  Oh, everybody should be getting. Paid.
• 46:54
  Everybody should be getting paid.
• 46:55
  Math is. Hard yo you.
• 46:58
  Can't. You can't drop something by
• 46:59
  thousands of that's not, that's not a thing.
• 47:03
  That's it. You can't.
• 47:04
  I just want you to know that my little old asthma medication is
• 47:11
  not. It used to be $10.
• 47:16
  And did it drop thousands of percent now?
• 47:19
  Yeah. To like 100 bucks.
• 47:21
  It's great. Yeah, that.
• 47:22
  Sounds about right, yeah. It's great.
• 47:26
  I have not gotten my replacement inhaler yet because of it, so
• 47:34
  I'd like it to go back to like $10.00 but as you can see it
• 47:39
  10X. So if you would like to support
• 47:45
  our show, like I said so. We can afford our medication.
• 47:51
  He also blamed California wildfires on water used to
• 47:56
  protect a fish species and that that's also incorrect.
• 48:04
  Yeah, because California used water to protect a fish species.
• 48:10
  It caused the wildfires, in case anybody was wondering.
• 48:15
  The actual car. If he knows how that all works.
• 48:20
  I don't think he knows how anything works.
• 48:22
  Nothing. He knows how nothing works.
• 48:24
  He doesn't. Understand he doesn't.
• 48:28
  He doesn't understand how anything works.
• 48:31
  I don't let this happen. Who do I talk to?
• 48:36
  Where all the Karens at when we need them?
• 48:39
  The other one's voting for Trump.
• 48:42
  Oh, I didn't even vote for Trump.
• 48:44
  That time it saw your thumb, it saw your nail, OK.
• 48:54
  So before we get into this one, there's a TikTok going around
• 49:00
  that says it is important to film the folks that are either
• 49:06
  ICE agents or claiming to be ICE agents because two things are
• 49:11
  happening. ICE agents are being a little
• 49:15
  too brutal. Imagine that and not doing the
• 49:23
  right things. That's where I'll I'll simplify
• 49:27
  and not doing the right things. Second of all, there are people
• 49:31
  that are pretending to be ICE agents that are citizens
• 49:37
  catching where we're going here, you know, taking things into
• 49:40
  their own hands because there you think they're doing the
• 49:43
  right thing. So record those people too,
• 49:52
  especially if you are here as we have talked about, if you are a
• 49:58
  citizen of the United States or even if you have a visa or a
• 50:04
  green card, record, record. Everything like at this point it
• 50:12
  everything. Everything you get pulled over
• 50:15
  by the cops, record it. You gotta have a record somehow.
• 50:21
  Yep, I don't know. Today in Minneapolis, an ICE
• 50:26
  agent shot and killed a woman in her car using the excuse that
• 50:30
  she was weaponizing her car. Meanwhile, we have had people
• 50:38
  that have actually done this in a crowd of people anyway, but
• 50:45
  they're very. Fine people.
• 50:47
  I'm sure Governor Tim Waltz has confirmed that that isn't true
• 50:55
  after watching the video and warned people not to believe the
• 50:59
  propaganda machine. There are many politicians that
• 51:03
  are coming out like girl, you don't don't believe the hype.
• 51:09
  Minneapolis mayor has told ICE to get the fuck out of
• 51:12
  Minneapolis. That is a direct quote.
• 51:16
  Yeah, I saw that one during a press conference following the
• 51:21
  murder. Waltz is also getting ready to
• 51:26
  mobilize the Minneapolis National Guard to evict Trump's
• 51:33
  Gestapo if he doesn't pull them out.
• 51:39
  Also, what's gross is that the National Guard has a filter on
• 51:45
  the Snapchat, and it kind of creeped me out for a minute.
• 51:49
  I was like, not going to catch me using it.
• 51:56
  So yeah, Europe is rallying around Greenland as dump truck.
• 52:11
  Here we go. And since this is so stupid,
• 52:15
  it's actually happening like the Venezuela thing, I say what the
• 52:24
  wow. Anyway, dump truck and you know
• 52:28
  his his cronies or I'm Greenland as their next conquest.
• 52:38
  Like he's the, oh see, like he said that he wasn't going to be
• 52:43
  trying to be like a KING. You can't what what's the
• 52:49
  Greenland is a part of NATO. You can't like you're.
• 52:55
  I mean, he already kidnapped a president.
• 52:58
  He honestly thinks that he's going to do this shit and no one
• 53:02
  is going to look twice at him. But this is this is it's not
• 53:08
  even war crimes. It's just crime.
• 53:11
  It's just criminal. Like it's not a war crime
• 53:14
  because there is no war yet, but it's you.
• 53:19
  You can't just you can't just occupy a a a a a territory it.
• 53:26
  So let me. Put it this way.
• 53:28
  OK, so if Freddie and I said, you know what, we want to take
• 53:33
  over Bank of America and we just walked into a bank and just
• 53:37
  said, OK, where is the CEO of Bank of America?
• 53:41
  And we just walked in there and we found the president and told
• 53:45
  him to get out and went to his office and just sat down.
• 53:49
  People would be like, OK, that's really weird.
• 53:52
  Like no, no, imagine somebody came over to your house and I
• 53:58
  was like, this is my apartment now you don't be like, no, get
• 54:03
  out. So I mean, I, I don't want to
• 54:08
  say like we're far from the, the past where you like we took over
• 54:15
  countries, but I kind of thought we were past that.
• 54:19
  Apparently not. Apparently the US is sort of
• 54:23
  reinstating its imperialism, so that's fun for us.
• 54:29
  I can only imagine the damage that we would do if we tried to.
• 54:34
  What if we did the actual things to help our people though?
• 54:38
  Well. That's the thing.
• 54:39
  It's like it's all about the the he he ran on the whole, like
• 54:42
  America first, blah blah, blah. But.
• 54:46
  So we're going to make America poor and then you're going to go
• 54:49
  get oil from another Cup country to all the American companies to
• 54:55
  come to Venezuela, get the labor, which isn't going to.
• 55:01
  It it's it's that's. What I'm saying I don't this is.
• 55:04
  Like This is why we're literally, I don't, I don't know
• 55:07
  if people actually, I don't think that's great again.
• 55:10
  It. Doesn't and we're literally on
• 55:12
  the brink of World War Three at this point if he invades
• 55:15
  Greenland. Oh, they're going to be so mad.
• 55:20
  Europe is not gonna stand back and be like, OK, this is fine
• 55:24
  because who's to say then he's not gonna start going further.
• 55:29
  Like right? There's no this is he is
• 55:35
  literally if. If folks are not paying
• 55:37
  attention, I suggest folks go back and start reading about
• 55:44
  World War 2 and how things started and how Germany
• 55:48
  basically just started creeping and occupying and occupying and
• 55:55
  occupying. Like, it was sort of like a it,
• 56:01
  it seemed. It seemed like, Oh well, this is
• 56:04
  weird, but all right. And then all of a sudden, what
• 56:06
  the fuck? So he's literally pushing us
• 56:10
  towards World War three. You can't just go and invade
• 56:14
  fucking countries, especially countries that are supposed to
• 56:17
  be your allies. Greenland is a part of NATO.
• 56:21
  Are we still a part of that? Yes, it's a North.
• 56:24
  Atlantic Treaty Organization, and we are still a part of it.
• 56:30
  And a good chunk of those countries are a part of it.
• 56:33
  And at some point the United Nations has got to fucking step
• 56:37
  in. There's got to be some sort of
• 56:40
  something. And the other like, world
• 56:43
  leaders have got to fucking stand the fuck up, grow a pair
• 56:48
  and be like, no, you don't just get to walk in and start
• 56:55
  occupying countries like they're terrified of Trump.
• 57:01
  And I mean, let's be real, he has no fucking morals and
• 57:04
  doesn't give a fuck. So I mean, I get it.
• 57:06
  But also, no, at some point you've got to be able to be
• 57:11
  like, this is absolutely unacceptable.
• 57:13
  And if you do this, we will defend Greenland, we will defend
• 57:20
  Denmark because it's a Danish territory.
• 57:24
  Like you can't just waltz in and take shit.
• 57:28
  Yeah, and. The.
• 57:32
  Fucking the. Fucking the the rest of the
• 57:33
  world has to be able to be like, no, we're going to go ahead and
• 57:37
  we're going to stand up and that's not going to happen.
• 57:44
  Like we know how this ends. We've seen it.
• 57:49
  Twice. Sounds like he's copying the
• 57:54
  playbook. Yeah.
• 57:58
  Yeah. So the Corporation for Public
• 58:01
  Broadcasting has been shut down after months of losing its
• 58:11
  funding since the GOP cut its funding.
• 58:17
  A lot of posts going out to like what happens next.
• 58:20
  I believe Netflix saved Sesame Street, but the Corporation for
• 58:28
  Public Broadcasting also supports NPR.
• 58:33
  Other PBS fund programs. Reading rainbows off that one
• 58:46
  but they seem. I'm not sure how this is working
• 58:51
  but I saw a post that was like just because they defunded us
• 58:55
  doesn't mean that it the programming stops so I don't
• 59:00
  know what that means I'm. Not exactly sure like.
• 59:05
  How these other programming pieces are going to survive if
• 59:10
  they don't have the funding 'cause you don't just not pay
• 59:12
  people. Yeah, I'm.
• 59:18
  Not exactly sure how it's working either.
• 59:19
  I know that like like you said a lot, some of the the programming
• 59:22
  isn't going away, but I don't know how they're they're going
• 59:27
  to do it so that that I have no idea.
• 59:37
  So that I have no idea, but so they took the funds away from
• 59:45
  programming that's supposed to help educate folks, but are they
• 59:51
  like reallocating? I I honestly, I have no idea.
• 59:58
  I legitimately have no idea. No idea.
• 1:00:03
  I'm still shady seems. Very shady.
• 1:00:12
  And I think one more. Andrea Jenkins, the first out
• 1:00:19
  transgender African American elected to public office in the
• 1:00:23
  US, has retired. She's been a member of the
• 1:00:27
  Minneapolis City Council since 2017.
• 1:00:32
  I don't think that's right. That's not the first out
• 1:00:35
  transgender. That's not right.
• 1:00:39
  Maybe in Minnesota. Yeah.
• 1:00:41
  Maybe, but so many are happening.
• 1:00:54
  I just one day I just stopped. I put my phone on the charger
• 1:00:57
  and just left it there 'cause I was like, this is too much.
• 1:01:01
  I don't know who and where. And we're in January folks.
• 1:01:06
  So if you're not aware, this is when legislatively we go back
• 1:01:11
  into session in Arizona, I believe House that's a there's.
• 1:01:18
  A There's another thing. Did you see the the idiot?
• 1:01:23
  Oh no, January. 6th you have. To be very specific, the We talk
• 1:01:29
  a lot Shaman. Dude that wears the the
• 1:01:31
  headdress that is whiter than fuck but wears the headdress.
• 1:01:35
  Yeah, he's decided that he doesn't like Trump anymore
• 1:01:38
  because I don't know why. And he wants to run for
• 1:01:41
  governor. Governor Ware.
• 1:01:47
  Here. No way.
• 1:01:49
  Yes. Oh, Lord.
• 1:01:51
  Yeah. This is where we're at, folks.
• 1:01:54
  This is where we're at. I forgot that he.
• 1:01:56
  Lived here. Yeah, yeah, it's great.
• 1:02:02
  It's awesome. I love.
• 1:02:05
  It but isn't really standing right.
• 1:02:08
  I don't. Believe so.
• 1:02:09
  I don't think so. I feel like.
• 1:02:10
  There's there was somebody that was involved in the January 6th
• 1:02:15
  thing in fact that happened five years ago by the way and if you
• 1:02:22
  depending on what side of the fence you're on.
• 1:02:25
  I hope you're on our side of the fence.
• 1:02:28
  There were people talking about apologies for January 6th.
• 1:02:33
  In fact, a woman that went there thinking that she was being very
• 1:02:37
  patriotic but then got trampled by her own people was
• 1:02:43
  apologizing. Yeah, I honestly, I don't care.
• 1:02:48
  I don't. I'm like, I, I see people like
• 1:02:52
  talking to people that they actually know and they're like,
• 1:02:54
  Oh my God, my medication went up and they're like, you voted for
• 1:02:58
  this. People were like, Oh my God, I'm
• 1:03:00
  so sorry that, you know, blah, blah, blah.
• 1:03:01
  And I'm like, you literally did that.
• 1:03:04
  I don't care. I have.
• 1:03:06
  I don't, I don't, I don't want to fucking hear it.
• 1:03:07
  I literally do not care. You can't apologize for any like
• 1:03:14
  you. No, because you, you knew we
• 1:03:18
  told you the facts were there. You chose to ignore it.
• 1:03:22
  Now you want to be like, oh, I'm really sorry.
• 1:03:25
  No, it's like an abusive relationship.
• 1:03:28
  Where you're gonna hit me in the face, then bring me flowers and
• 1:03:32
  say I'm really sorry it'll never happen again until you hit me in
• 1:03:35
  the face again. And I don't believe any of these
• 1:03:41
  people who are all of a sudden turning against Trump.
• 1:03:44
  And they're like, 'cause if you people are like, wow, these
• 1:03:47
  people are like going against Trump.
• 1:03:49
  I'm like, OK, but look at what they're saying.
• 1:03:51
  They haven't changed. They're still really shitty
• 1:03:54
  fucking humans. They're still trying to erase me
• 1:03:57
  from existence. They're still trying to take
• 1:03:59
  away all the rights. But they just decided that they
• 1:04:01
  don't like Trump because they can see that he's batshit
• 1:04:04
  fucking crazy. They're still not wanting to fix
• 1:04:09
  the problems that they caused. They're just, it's like they're
• 1:04:13
  sorry they got caught basically is what happened.
• 1:04:17
  So I don't care. I don't I.
• 1:04:22
  Believe the foundation for genocide education came out with
• 1:04:28
  a statement that we need to what I said several we have several
• 1:04:34
  times on this show is to like I'm being serious as we get
• 1:04:43
  closer to the midterms. Also dump truck was blatantly
• 1:04:48
  saying insecurities out loud because he said his words, not
• 1:04:55
  mine, that you know you need to vote for Republicans and he's
• 1:05:00
  going to be so mad if Democrats win because you know they're
• 1:05:05
  going to impeach me, right? Because he knows he's fucked up.
• 1:05:11
  Think he knows it. Oh, we did have we did have one
• 1:05:18
  dickhead Republican die. So that's one of the the
• 1:05:22
  California reps one of the California reps died.
• 1:05:29
  So that's that's super unfortunate.
• 1:05:32
  But that closed the gap as far as it's, it's closing the the
• 1:05:36
  gap even more as far as as Republicans versus Democrats in
• 1:05:41
  the House. I think now there's only like a
• 1:05:44
  three representative lead or something like that as far as
• 1:05:49
  Republicans. So you know what?
• 1:05:51
  They keep dying, whatever, right?
• 1:05:54
  Oops. So.
• 1:05:58
  He knows, he knows that the midterms are coming.
• 1:06:04
  I need you to be if you're able to be in the wallets, be in the
• 1:06:09
  wallets if you're able to. Although I.
• 1:06:11
  Am Campus. Campus, If you're able to go to
• 1:06:15
  City Council meetings where you know some of these people are,
• 1:06:18
  talk, talk up the meetings I am going to.
• 1:06:21
  Reiterate, however, that impeachment doesn't mean shit.
• 1:06:25
  Yes. But he's already.
• 1:06:27
  Been impeached. He needs to be removed.
• 1:06:31
  In fact, the entire office needs to be removed.
• 1:06:33
  Him and his cronies, all of them need to be removed because
• 1:06:38
  they're just a bunch of they're literally fascists.
• 1:06:42
  But impeachment isn't gonna do shit.
• 1:06:44
  He's already been impeached twice I believe.
• 1:06:47
  So impeachment doesn't do shit. He's already been impeached
• 1:06:53
  previously twice and was allowed to run again.
• 1:06:56
  He's also a 34 time felon and was allowed to run again so
• 1:07:00
  impeachment doesn't do shit. There's no we need the.
• 1:07:04
  People in office that can either block all of his things or we
• 1:07:09
  just need somebody to take him out where?
• 1:07:12
  Where does it say that we can't get the president out of office?
• 1:07:16
  Again, there was a whole fucking turning point thing here that
• 1:07:18
  had a whole bunch of people here.
• 1:07:19
  Again, somebody missed their fucking opportunity.
• 1:07:25
  Someone needs to take one for the team.
• 1:07:27
  Yikes. Anyway, what gigs do we have
• 1:07:36
  coming up? I'm over at on Friday.
• 1:07:43
  We are. Sold out we.
• 1:07:45
  Are drag bingoing cats is officially sold out, which we
• 1:07:50
  told you was going to happen and.
• 1:07:52
  Even on the air. I know so.
• 1:07:56
  Look at that. Our oldest and his girlfriend
• 1:07:59
  are going to be there, so that's going to be interesting.
• 1:08:02
  He got tickets for her for Christmas so that.
• 1:08:06
  Should be fun. Definitely interesting.
• 1:08:11
  And then on February 28th is Reich Story Hour Arizona's
• 1:08:16
  annual fundraiser, so make sure you come out for that.
• 1:08:20
  Felicia and I will be hosting. We're going to have a gaggle of
• 1:08:23
  performers, which I still need to find a couple more, but it
• 1:08:26
  should be a good time. There's always great raffle
• 1:08:29
  prizes, good entertainment and we are trying to see if we can
• 1:08:36
  beat what we raised last year. What did you?
• 1:08:39
  Raise last year, I don't remember.
• 1:08:41
  Off the top of my head, three. I think so.
• 1:08:46
  I think so. Raise a solid 5.
• 1:08:48
  That would be great. That would be.
• 1:08:49
  Good. I would like that.
• 1:08:50
  That would be good. That would be good.
• 1:08:54
  So keep your calendars marked for that.
• 1:08:59
  You also can book us for office parties, celebrations and or
• 1:09:04
  send us a message. And we do have together if you.
• 1:09:09
  Don't want to? But why wouldn't you want to?
• 1:09:13
  But we also have guests coming up next week and the following
• 1:09:16
  week, which they're going to be announced on Patreon first
• 1:09:19
  within the next day or so. And then we will release them to
• 1:09:22
  the general public. But you're definitely next week
• 1:09:24
  especially going to make sure that.
• 1:09:26
  You know them and put them on Patreon, right?
• 1:09:29
  I'm gonna make sure next week should be a good one for sure.
• 1:09:33
  It's a brand new guest. It's never been on the show
• 1:09:35
  before, so you'll wanna tune in for that one for sure.
• 1:09:40
  Oh, also in the news and we can talk about it next week,
• 1:09:46
  especially with our guests AI. And I think that's why Freddie
• 1:09:51
  and I are dressed like this is is in the community.
• 1:09:57
  So the great debate has entered the the realm of our community.
• 1:10:02
  Yep, a local bar has started a an AI that takes care of a lot
• 1:10:17
  of tasks when a lot of us have anyhow, and it started a lot of
• 1:10:29
  smoke. People are.
• 1:10:32
  Not. Happy.
• 1:10:33
  I don't know if as AP, as APR person, I'm very and it's all
• 1:10:42
  about how you respond sometimes and sometimes.
• 1:10:46
  Yeah, I don't know who they have running their social media, but
• 1:10:48
  OK. But then again, that's how they
• 1:10:49
  always respond to shit. Honestly, no.
• 1:10:53
  And also you can't say that you are for the community supporting
• 1:10:57
  the community. But then you give something that
• 1:10:59
  could be an Employment Opportunity for somebody in the
• 1:11:03
  community to AI and then be like, well, it's fine.
• 1:11:06
  Just come and spend money and drink and dance and we don't
• 1:11:09
  think about things. We just want to have fun.

  And it's like, OK, well, you can't also say that you are
• 1:11:15
  supportive of the community when you give a job that could go to
• 1:11:18
  somebody in the community to AI. So yeah, so there's.
• 1:11:27
  That and if you have anything to add or speak to, we can talk
• 1:11:33
  about it more next week. But I just thought because we
• 1:11:36
  both are in the futuristic theme that I would mention that I want
• 1:11:42
  to say like Freddie said this year, do the things that you can
• 1:11:49
  do, do the things that you want to do.
• 1:11:52
  Make sure you're staying true to you because we don't know what
• 1:11:57
  the administration is doing. And like every time, like my
• 1:12:02
  phone buzzes, 'cause sometimes I get the headlines on my phone
• 1:12:07
  depending on what mode it's in. Lately I've been putting it on
• 1:12:11
  like do not disturb. So what bother me?
• 1:12:13
  But but when I see it, it just causes it instantly just.
• 1:12:21
  Yeah. You feel that like inward, like,
• 1:12:24
  oh like God damn it, they got us again.
• 1:12:29
  And so protect your, your, your siblings, protect your family.
• 1:12:37
  Spend as much time as you can with them, spend the and take
• 1:12:42
  care of yourselves. I can't tell you how many times
• 1:12:46
  in the last week I have seen us remembering people because they
• 1:12:53
  have taken their lives. Well, like Jerry Springer used
• 1:12:57
  to say, take care of yourselves and each other.
• 1:13:03
  Which is. Always the most interesting
• 1:13:04
  thing for him to end his shit show of a show with.
• 1:13:09
  Well. Ironically, we're in the middle
• 1:13:10
  of a shit show, right? So we'll.
• 1:13:12
  Just we'll just take that note from we'll take that too from
• 1:13:15
  Jerry Springer and we will we will pay homage to one of the
• 1:13:21
  greats of talk show television. Goodnight.
