0:00
I'm Stephanie.
0:00
I'm Meredith.
0:01
And welcome to This Is My Circus.
0:07
So I pulled up in the driveway and it's on a very steep hill.
0:12
Yes.
0:14
I checked to make sure that I had the car in park like four times.
0:17
I was just not feeling like I could trust myself today.
0:21
It's one of those days.
0:22
It is one of those days.
0:23
It's been a long week.
0:25
Yeah.
0:26
And I think I'm thrown a little bit because we're recording twice this week.
0:28
Mm hmm.
0:29
Um, between that and then just getting ready to go out of town, you know, all the, my mind's just really busy right now.
0:36
Well, we all have those.
0:39
I know, I know, um, I'm house sitting Really just dog sitting, going over and checking on them a couple times, in two weeks.
0:46
And they're so cute too.
0:49
So I, house sat for a guy last weekend and into this week, and they were two little dogs, but these are two.
0:56
One's a pit mix and one's a Shepard, I can't wait.
1:01
Oh, I love to make new friends that are fuzzy.
1:03
Well, that could have come out really wrong.
1:09
That's what she said.
1:10
Oh, yeah.
1:11
Yeah.
1:12
So I am dying to ask you.
1:14
Did you like this book?
1:15
I did.
1:15
Okay.
1:16
Yeah.
1:16
I just finished it like when you were pulling in.
1:19
Oh, perfect.
1:19
And then I'm glad I was as per usual late.
1:21
Yeah Well, I just made a couple of notes.
1:23
Like while I was making my notes earlier Uh huh, but literally just ended.
1:28
Okay.
1:28
Pulled in.
1:28
Okay.
1:29
But yeah, I liked it.
1:30
Good.
1:30
Good.
1:31
Told you easy read.
1:32
Yeah, it's easy.
1:33
Yeah.
1:33
Um, do you have our blurb?
1:35
Uh huh.
1:36
And it was called Winter's Mourn by Mary Stone.
1:38
And this is actually the first book in a series.
1:42
I like this because it's a short little blurb.
1:44
It wasn't like a huge giant blurb like the other ones we've been having.
1:48
Yes.
1:49
Alright, a killer is watching.
1:50
Thirteen years ago, Winter Black came home early from a sleepover to find her parents brutally murdered and her little brother gone, taken by a serial killer called The Preacher.
2:00
Now a rookie FBI agent assigned to her first murder case, Winter has returned to the small Virginia town where she grew up.
2:07
But when bones found by a hunter lead to the discovery of a secret burial ground containing the remains of Children, the investigation suddenly hits close to home as the past and future collide with each new shocking discovery.
2:19
Will they find her brother's bones in the makeshift graveyard next?
2:23
Only the preacher knows and he'll do anything to keep the past and its secrets buried until he's ready to make his final move.
2:30
Yeah, that is a short blurb.
2:31
I loved it.
2:32
It's very concise.
2:33
It tells you what's going on and what you got going on.
2:36
So, I liked it.
2:37
I had read this before and I, mentioned it to you so we threw it in our book list since we couldn't get to the others.
2:43
And I think it's really, really good.
2:46
I think that it's easy read.
2:48
not too graphic or, In any kind of way, like not explicit, which sometimes all that stuff is okay.
2:58
but I think that it was a, it was a fun, easy, almost like a beach read kind of just don't have to think about it too much.
3:05
Did you like the characters?
3:07
I did.
3:07
I did not like the, SSA Aiden guy, like the Irish guy.
3:13
he creeped me out a little bit because he came into her life when she was, Like 13 and he's like obsessed with her and like that freaks me out because of the dynamic it Yeah, me it should be like a father daughter dynamic, right?
3:28
Not a romantic dynamic.
3:30
Yeah, so that was a little Mm hmm to me.
3:34
Yeah, I gave me like the heebie jeebies.
3:36
Okay, I Just know when I was reading it I was reading at and thinking, yes, he's obsessed, but I never got like any sexual thing from it.
3:46
There was like a part in there and it's probably just because it's fresh in my mind.
3:49
was like, she's no longer the little girl that he's saying he now sees her in the different light.
3:55
And he was also noticing that Noah, I think his name was, Also saw her in the same light.
4:00
Yeah, they were kind of competing little competition there.
4:03
So that was like, yeah, that is kind of creepy I did not pick up on that.
4:08
I don't know why maybe because I just wasn't honed in on that for some reason Well in the very so this was actually the second time I read it the first time I read it read it and Maybe because it was in the book that didn't translate to the book.
4:23
But yeah, Aiden, I'm Parrish.
4:25
I'm not a big fan of him.
4:27
Noah makes me laugh.
4:29
He, has a great sense of humor is good.
4:32
So he is another agent that works.
4:34
He's our partner and, he does a lot of.
4:38
What's it called?
4:38
Self depreciation, deprecation, deprecation, deprecation.
4:42
when he just, he, he's always looking to break tension and, and that kind of thing.
4:47
But then he'll also step up and be the tough guy when he needs to.
4:50
So I liked him.
4:52
Yeah.
4:52
I think winter has a little bit of a problem of not wanting to be saved.
4:57
Like, not even that they're trying to save her.
4:59
She just views it as that.
5:01
And I'm sure because of what she went through.
5:03
Yeah.
5:04
Um, but I think she is always trying to prove herself.
5:07
So she is and I'm sure also that but like you said it's because of her past, but I don't understand like it's not like she Needed to be saved before really so it's there was a little bit of loose in there Yeah, like I don't understand why she's such a hard headed person You know says the hard headed person, right?
5:28
and you're a little bit hard headed, right?
5:31
I'm very hard headed.
5:32
I mean, like 1, 000 percent.
5:34
Yeah, but she pushes almost everybody away.
5:37
And, females and males, like friendships and cause I have read a couple of books ahead.
5:43
cause it was just such a nice filler kind of.
5:46
saying that about this.
5:48
The killer is watching and her parents got killed.
5:51
Um, yes, thank you, thank you.
5:53
Um, and, uh, yeah, even continued relationships, she struggles with that.
5:59
So, it'll be neat to see how that finally, if anything ever happens there, if she, I mean, it's a book, I'm pretty sure, but, or if she just continues to wallow in her own misery.
6:11
Now, I didn't catch it.
6:13
If they said it, how do you know how old she is now?
6:15
She's in her twenties.
6:17
for some reason, I remember Noah saying he was 20, like 28, 29.
6:21
So she's about the same age as him in my head.
6:24
I don't know why I had her then.
6:26
Like.
6:26
Early thirties.
6:27
Oh, okay.
6:28
I just didn't have her.
6:29
Yeah.
6:29
Late twenties, still young enough to be really cool to, like teenagers and stuff.
6:35
Not an old person, but I'm still young enough to be a rookie.
6:39
Yeah.
6:40
what did you think about her drive and her, passion for her job?
6:47
Could you relate?
6:48
Yes.
6:48
Yeah.
6:49
Yeah.
6:49
100%.
6:50
Yeah.
6:50
With her abilities.
6:52
it's a no brainer.
6:53
Yeah.
6:54
You know, like, like what else could she do?
6:55
Yeah.
6:57
Yeah.
6:57
Yeah.
6:57
So I think with her abilities, I think obviously it's like a perfect fit.
7:02
I'm sure not easy getting into the FBI, or, getting into those positions as a special agent.
7:07
So, SSI.
7:09
Yeah.
7:11
yeah, I know.
7:11
I like to correct people with a special agent.
7:14
Right.
7:15
Right.
7:15
Right.
7:16
yeah, her little gifts that were left by her head trauma were pretty, pretty interesting.
7:21
Yeah.
7:22
And helpful.
7:24
Right.
7:25
But it also leaves like, it takes a lot out of her when it happens.
7:28
Yeah.
7:28
It's draining.
7:29
Right.
7:30
And the other piece with that, too, is, so she's got this ability to solve these crimes or to find these clues, but that's not going to stand up in court.
7:39
No.
7:40
I just knew it was there kind of things.
7:42
That's why I think, Noah tries to almost cover for her when she's having these moments.
7:48
Yeah.
7:48
I'm trying to come up with like, well, we're here anyway.
7:50
We might as well get jump on this.
7:51
We're going to have to do it.
7:52
Right.
7:53
Or we're going to eventually come to this conclusion that we have to bring in the cadaver dogs or whatever.
7:59
so he picked up on it early and tries to, Compensate and, and prep for that.
8:06
He's a good partner.
8:08
The cop partner relationship is.
8:11
Yeah.
8:12
Yeah.
8:12
I know this because of Olivia Benson and Elvis Dabler.
8:17
Same thing.
8:18
Do you watch the new, organized crime?
8:21
I don't, I can't get into it.
8:22
I don't like it as much as I like SVU, but I still like watching it a little bit to see kind of where it crawled.
8:29
Yeah.
8:31
I tried, I was so excited, but he was coming back to TV.
8:35
Yeah.
8:36
And I did watch it when it was crossing over a long time and then I couldn't stay with it.
8:40
One of the things I like about SVU and a lot of these shows is that it's like for the most part, one episode, one bad guy, one resolution.
8:49
Like I don't have to remember anything.
8:52
and the organized crime is a little more of a continual thing with these players I've already admitted I don't do good with like political things and all that.
9:01
So I get lost easily.
9:04
Yes, very much.
9:06
So let me ask you, would you want her gifts?
9:11
Like if you were able to have gifts, what I want them.
9:15
Yeah.
9:15
When you embrace it.
9:17
Yeah, I mean, it's either that or not.
9:20
I mean, that was a great answer.
9:23
I mean, you've got them anyway, so I don't know if I would use, like, I don't know if I'd join the FBI.
9:30
I don't know what, how I would use this for evil.
9:33
Right.
9:36
Blackmail people.
9:38
I know your secrets.
9:39
I know your hiding spot.
9:43
Yeah, I don't I mean that's a tough question because I couldn't see myself being in law enforcement Yeah, or anything like that, but I mean you've been given this thing So you feel like you should use it if you could have a gift.
9:56
Mm hmm.
9:56
What would you choose?
9:58
Oh, it would not be like bad things glow in purple or whatever It would be Oh, this is a tricky one, Steph.
10:05
I know, it's hard, right?
10:06
And I feel like every time I have to think about this question, I answer it differently.
10:10
Like, I'm never consistent.
10:11
I think I would like to time travel.
10:14
That'd be cool.
10:15
Yeah.
10:16
I think time traveling would be, or telekinesis.
10:21
What about you?
10:22
Well, I don't know.
10:23
I don't know if I want to know.
10:24
Yeah.
10:25
Yeah.
10:25
I would not want to be like a mind reader, like somebody that can like, what everybody's thinking, like you, like, no, I don't know.
10:34
I don't really know.
10:38
It's tough.
10:38
Any of them I would pretty much, I'd get that.
10:42
Okay, so here's what would happen.
10:44
I would be in this cool group because all of a sudden it's like the Incredibles have adopted me into their family and I get, A superpower.
10:56
And I would get the stupid superpower.
10:59
Like everybody else can be invisible or run really fast.
11:02
And mine would be like, I can do math really good.
11:05
Right.
11:10
that's not a super power But I would get shafted and get something lame and stupid.
11:16
This is what you can do.
11:20
You are the, you, you never, your superpower is every bottle flip you win.
11:26
That's what I would get.
11:28
I'm so glad that's not a thing anymore.
11:30
I know.
11:30
That was horrible.
11:31
That was the worst.
11:31
So annoying.
11:34
Um, let me ask you, what did you think about her, ex best friend?
11:38
I hated her.
11:39
Me, too.
11:39
Could you believe that when she had said, I, I, you should have died that night, too?
11:43
Right.
11:44
I just wanted to jump in that book and smack her.
11:46
And it's not like she was saying that when they were 13 year old little witches.
11:50
She was saying that as a grown woman with that.
11:53
No, I couldn't stand her.
11:55
Yeah.
11:55
I could not stand a lot of people from her town, from her town, the attitude and the, which I know it's everywhere.
12:03
I mean, every small town's got their things, but I, that, I would not want to live wherever they were.
12:08
No, but even when they were kids, she just went and told everybody about, the gifts.
12:13
Yeah, and she had to move.
12:14
Yeah.
12:15
Oh, I didn't like that at all.
12:16
No, I didn't like that either.
12:18
And she kept that throughout her life.
12:20
Yeah, and then they were, they were fighting over the dude that she ended up marrying who didn't end up being, you know, uh, a 10.
12:28
And, yeah, they didn't have a great marriage and great relationship and her life wasn't everything she thought it was going to be, but I didn't like her.
12:36
Yeah.
12:36
I don't remember her name.
12:37
Was it Sam?
12:38
Yeah.
12:38
So yeah, I, you didn't like her either.
12:42
No, I enjoyed the relationship with her grandparents.
12:45
Yeah.
12:45
So her grandparents raised her after, her parents passed and they really stepped up and did what they did.
12:54
Needed to be done.
12:54
Needed to be done.
12:55
Yeah.
12:55
Yeah.
12:55
Thank you.
12:56
With love.
12:57
Yes.
12:57
Not just obligation.
12:59
Yeah, exactly.
13:00
Yeah, totally.
13:01
so like I said, I'm reading a couple more just'cause they're making me happy, and, I'm enjoying them.
13:06
Would you read, the next one?
13:08
Yeah.
13:08
If you needed something to read.
13:09
Uhhuh.
13:10
yeah.
13:10
Cool.
13:11
Yeah, it was good.
13:11
Good.
13:12
Yeah.
13:12
what would you give it?
13:13
I know you like to, we like to rate'em like a seven.
13:16
Not bad.
13:17
That's pretty good.
13:18
Yeah, I looked at, yeah, seven, eight.
13:20
Yeah, seven, eight.
13:21
Um, definitely not like 10 worthy.
13:24
There were some loose ends and it was, some of it was a little messy, but enough to get the story and to I liked it.
13:31
Want to read it.
13:32
Yeah.
13:32
And I would continue reading this series.
13:34
It wasn't Oh my God, never again.
13:36
Right.
13:36
And it wasn't like, these characters suck.
13:39
Right.
13:39
but It wasn't where I would like reread this exact book.
13:43
Right.
13:44
Yeah.
13:44
Gotcha.
13:45
Gotcha.
13:45
Good.
13:45
Okay.
13:46
I can't remember what we're waiting next week.
13:49
Do you remember?
13:49
Um, I thought I had it pulled up and I don't.
13:55
Tattooist of Auschwitz.
13:57
Yes.
13:58
And that one is available.
13:59
I don't think I need to be in charge of the book list next time.
14:02
Okay.
14:04
But I have to take some responsibility because you do it all.
14:08
Okay.
14:08
Yeah.
14:09
So our next book is going to be The Tattooist of Auschwitz.
14:12
Yes.
14:13
And I feel like I've read this before.
14:16
I've never, and I never watched a movie.
14:18
No, but maybe I've just seen it around so much.
14:21
I feel like that just, not that like murder and like whatever is, lighthearted, lighthearted, but stuff that's based off of real things make me like, yeah, kind of, oh, I know.
14:31
So I've never had the inclination, but this is getting me out of my comfort zone of reading.
14:35
So I'm okay.
14:37
Okay.
14:38
okay, good.
14:38
Well, Here we go.
14:40
Here we go.
14:40
We'll see.
14:41
It's gonna be a ride.
14:42
It will be.
14:43
It will be, I just saw Almost like a PSA.
14:46
There is a new trafficking, scheme that they tried to get you at the stores with.
14:52
So, I think we should talk about that.
14:54
Bless do what?
14:55
Tell me all about it.
14:55
So, a woman was in a Walmart and a.
15:01
Quote unquote employee had come up to her and said, Hey, is this your car?
15:06
And showed her a picture of her car.
15:08
And he said, it's getting towed right now.
15:09
There's a tow truck out there.
15:11
and she's like, well, I'm not parked in like a illegal lot or, you know, whatever, no parking zone.
15:17
And he said, we are restructuring our parkings, for whatever, like moms, kids or whatever.
15:25
Yeah.
15:26
If you don't go out there.
15:27
And move your car, it's going to get towed and she's like, I don't understand.
15:32
I'm not even parked in, a close thought, you know, what are you talking about going back and forth?
15:36
and then he said, okay, well, I'll tell them not to tell it this time.
15:41
But, like, this is a major issue.
15:43
So, she goes up to, The customer service and was like, I was just approached by this guy who says he's an employee, you know, not an employee.
15:53
They were just trying to get her out there.
15:56
Oh, so she checks out the manager's like, I'm going to walk you out to make sure that you get to your car.
16:02
Okay, and he had some kind of app that can show, like.
16:05
Air tags are tracking devices.
16:08
They put a tracking device on her vehicle.
16:11
Oh, my goodness.
16:12
And they said, they don't know if it was on there before she got to Walmart.
16:16
And that's how they knew she was there or if they put it on there to track her home.
16:21
but they did get the tracking device off of the vehicle.
16:23
Oh my God.
16:24
So like never.
16:25
Trust employees that come up to you about like issues.
16:29
Always go to customer service, make sure, you know, be vigilant.
16:33
Like I said, I am so unaware of my surroundings and I really need to get better about that.
16:37
Not that anybody is going to try to, God, I would be like the worst kidnap person ever.
16:44
I would ask too many questions.
16:45
I know me and I would ask to me, where are we going?
16:48
What are we going to do when we get there?
16:49
How are we going to go?
16:51
Yeah.
16:52
Can I have some water?
16:53
Right.
16:53
Right.
16:54
Can we please stop use the bathroom?
16:55
Um, I, yeah, so just be like super vigilant of your surroundings.
17:00
Wow.
17:00
Do you remember where that was?
17:02
I don't.
17:02
it was.
17:03
And it was something I'd US.
17:04
As I was, yeah, I was in the US, but it was just scrolling and I saw it and I was like, that's terrifying.
17:11
Like, yeah, workers and employees are just normal people, but you think that I can trust them, but yeah.
17:18
Somebody wearing a blue polo and Best Buy or whatever is red shirt and target.
17:23
Yeah, so never just go out I mean don't assume right exactly Have you ever seen the saying that says teenage girls if you're out or boys really?
17:35
But I think it says girls if you're out somewhere and you feel threatened Find a lady who's like a mom age person and go to them and I promise you will have your back.
17:46
And that just really like, I'm kind of on the lookout now.
17:49
I'm like, who's, who can I help?
17:52
Let me put my cape on.
17:54
Right.
17:55
And let me do that math real fast for you.
17:59
Yeah, I, it's, it's terrifying.
18:02
There's been so many just in Gastonia.
18:05
Yeah, and I hear is because it's right proximity to the interstate so be aware.
18:10
Yeah.
18:11
And then, like, do you remember it was probably, I don't know.
18:15
Last summer, somebody going around about, like, chickens, it was like a, 2 people that had, like, accents from another country.
18:21
No, the country was to have no clue what the nationality was, but they were going around and.
18:29
Like trying to either sell chickens or bike, but it was like super suspect.
18:34
No, no.
18:35
Um, I remember hearing that you were said to be on the lookout for them and like, it was, you know, the whole thing.
18:40
but that was just like right around here.
18:42
Yeah.
18:42
No, I don't remember that.
18:44
Yeah.
18:44
Did you ever, when Dylan was tiny, did you ever have any issues like that?
18:47
Where you were feeling like you were being followed or like creeped out?
18:53
No, not with Dylan.
18:54
I was drugged in Mexico.
18:57
What?
18:58
Yeah, like my drink was drugged in Mexico.
19:00
What happened?
19:01
At a bar.
19:02
Okay, so who were you there with?
19:03
I was with Brandon.
19:04
Okay.
19:04
we were in college I think between like winter break.
19:07
Uh huh.
19:08
And he went to the bathroom and I went to go get a drink and I hadn't drank all day.
19:13
It was my first drink of the day and he came back, he went and got a drink and I hadn't drank the whole thing.
19:20
It was like maybe half of it and I was like, I don't feel good and he's like, what's wrong?
19:25
I'm like, I really just, I feel weird.
19:27
I don't feel good.
19:28
Oh my God.
19:29
we went outside, I made myself throw up outside.
19:31
Mm hmm.
19:32
The drink was, Red.
19:33
I was like throwing up purple.
19:35
And when I tell you, I was high as a kite the rest of the night.
19:41
I didn't drink the rest of the night.
19:42
I was high as a kite the rest of the night.
19:44
I had a blast.
19:47
Well, but, I was high as a kite.
19:49
Like, but again, I had only drank, you know, like a third to a half of the drink before I started feeling sick.
19:56
And, Brandon was like, Do you think if I, if you go back and get another drink, they'll try it again?
20:03
We can be on the same level.
20:04
Yeah.
20:06
Oh my goodness.
20:07
Yeah.
20:07
Little did I know, like, I partied quite a bit in college and high school, so.
20:11
You were like, this is nothing new.
20:14
Child's play.
20:15
Right.
20:15
No, but yeah, that was like, I'm glad that you had somebody there with you that was, I mean, I'm sure he kind of looked after you at that point to make sure that you are okay.
20:27
That's scary to Stef.
20:29
I've never had anything like that happen either.
20:30
It had to have been the bartender.
20:32
Cause I was holding my drink, waiting for Brandon you think it was the bartender?
20:35
There was no other way and I mean I took it right off the bar as soon as he put it on there and you didn't like leave it unattended.
20:42
Have you seen some of those things that they just try to invent to find like the straws that change color or fingernail polish that changes color?
20:50
Those are pretty cool.
20:51
The scrunchies that go over your your cup too.
20:53
It turns into a lid.
20:55
That's a great idea.
20:56
You always have it on your wrist you can just pop it right over.
20:58
Yeah, and it has like a little hole for your straw.
21:00
That's really neat.
21:01
Have you seen, I know you probably have, but like a lot of times in a bar in the bathroom, there will be a sign, like if you are being followed or if you don't feel safe, like if you need this, ask for an angel drink, if you need, or whatever, I don't know what it's called.
21:16
Or if you need, you need us to call you a ride, ask for a, what, like a code name.
21:22
I think that is so amazing.
21:24
Yeah.
21:24
And there's things like that.
21:25
Same.
21:25
Yeah.
21:26
And I think that because so much horrible bad things happen and every single day.
21:33
Yep.
21:33
It's unfortunately needed.
21:35
So kudos to the facilities that totally do that stuff.
21:39
I think the inventions are amazing for keep them coming.
21:43
Yeah.
21:44
Anything that can help keep people safe.
21:46
Yeah, so scary scary world out there so have you ever felt like you were being followed I mean like in my car.
21:54
when I was driving, there was a couple of situations where I felt like somebody was following me and I did the thing like where you're supposed to take like three rights or three, whatever it was.
22:01
It was probably just overactive imagination.
22:04
I've never really felt skeeved out like that over somebody.
22:07
When I first moved here, because Dylan was still like little in the car seat.
22:12
I went to Food Lion, Brandon was working and I was coming home from Food Lion and a police officer was behind me.
22:19
And.
22:21
Followed me into the neighborhood and like, so I took like different roads to get to my house.
22:26
Followed me to my house and like, I, I pulled into the garage and I closed the garage, which at that time our garage wasn't full of junk, and I closed the garage because I was like, totally freaked out and he sat outside of the house for like a couple of minutes and then drove away.
22:41
I called Brandon at work.
22:42
I'm like, right.
22:43
What the heck?
22:44
But yeah, police car.
22:46
That's terrifying too.
22:47
Yeah.
22:47
Gosh, this is crazy world we live in.
22:49
Yeah.
22:50
Stay aware.
22:51
Be vigilant.
22:51
Yeah.
22:52
Vigilant.
22:53
Vigilant.
22:54
Uh huh.
22:55
Not vigilanty.
22:59
Some bananas.
23:00
Yeah.
23:01
Wow.
23:01
Speaking of being followed, the FBI announced That they are tracking 500 serial killers that they believe to be truckers like long haul checkers Yeah Who operate mobile killing chambers?
23:18
Oh My god.
23:20
And it's across various states They believe that there has been over a thousand victims Most of them are, truck stop women, workers, lounge lizards.
23:33
No, no, what's it?
23:35
lot lizards, lot lizards.
23:36
but, or people of a lifestyle that are easily, I forgot what that's called, but they said that, I guess it's starting to ramp up.
23:45
And if you're traveling this summer to be very careful, vigilant, of your surroundings at, If you're stopping at different gas stations and whatever, they are mainly focusing on like women, but, two couples have been abducted and, Murdered, that's crazy because usually you do hear about it being somebody high risk lifestyle.
24:11
That's what I was trying to think of.
24:12
who's kind of transient who, you know, does is not missed easily.
24:17
so for it to be a couple, that's.
24:21
And I mean, they could be, you know, in a situation too, where they're kind of floating through right now.
24:26
So, oh my gosh, 500.
24:29
That is insane.
24:31
I've heard, I know, I can't remember off the top of my head.
24:33
Let me Google it.
24:34
But the statistic for active serial killers in the U S isn't even that much.
24:38
I didn't think.
24:39
Yeah.
24:40
The FBI has a special unit.
24:42
Yeah.
24:43
And it's called the Highway Serial Killings Initiative Unit or something to that effect and they've mapped out I guess the main Route.
24:56
Yeah, and it's through I 40.
24:58
So it goes through like North Carolina and Tennessee.
25:01
Yeah, straight to California So there's a whole Pathway to stay off of, they're supposedly only, I mean, and how do you know this until they catch them, but 25 to 50 active serial killers in the United States at any given time.
25:16
Well, this thing that was just released, like, a week or 2 ago said, they're trying, they're, they, they believe there's a huge amount of truckers that.
25:26
Yeah, I'm thinking of all the people I know that are truckers.
25:34
So, we're going to the beach next week and we'll stop by Bucky's.
25:37
Have you ever been to Bucky's?
25:38
I've seen a lot of videos.
25:39
It's a lot of fun.
25:40
Yeah, it's a little overwhelming, but it's like, a, um.
25:46
Cracker barrel, like, that's exactly what I was thinking of.
25:49
How far is Anderson from here?
25:51
it's like on the way to Clemson, I think, so a couple hours probably.
25:55
Did you hear what happened last week?
25:57
Or this week?
25:58
Whatever June 22nd was.
26:00
Someone found human remains in a gravel lot near some super fancy neighborhood.
26:08
Okay.
26:09
what would you do if you found human remains?
26:11
I mean, I would be calling 911.
26:14
Okay.
26:14
Do you know what this person did?
26:16
No telling.
26:18
Took them to Goodwill.
26:21
The human remains.
26:22
Put them in a box.
26:23
And took it to Goodwill.
26:24
Brought the human remains to Goodwill.
26:27
Where then the police responded to a phone call saying that there was human remains.
26:34
I am speechless.
26:35
Why would you do that?
26:37
What are they going to do with them?
26:39
Like, they put them in a box, or whatever, and put them in the vehicle, and drove them there, and took them I thought you were going to say maybe they throw them away Well, they took them to goodwill So the the coroner believes that the bones are about two years old so they're you know, trying to do all the testing on it and whatnot, but What like what in the world would make you take human remains to a goodwill?
27:06
I wouldn't want to touch them.
27:07
Anyway, like I have a little gag when i'm cleaning up dog poop let alone messing with demon remains I just don't understand, like, the whole thought process.
27:20
I don't get it.
27:22
Maybe it was the actual killer.
27:23
That's what I was thinking.
27:25
And now that they've been to Goodwill and they've been around all the other DNA and fingerprints and stuff, it's They found them.
27:33
Right.
27:34
It helps kind of mask the original DNA.
27:37
They need to We just solve the case.
27:40
Yes.
27:41
So they need to track who brought them and dropped them off and that's whodunit.
27:45
Yeah.
27:46
You're welcome.
27:47
We just solved it.
27:48
Next.
27:49
Next.
27:51
Let us solve all of them.
27:52
Yeah.
27:53
Yeah, bring them.
27:54
Our superpower.
27:55
Yes, along with doing great math.
27:59
And bottle flip champions of the world.
28:01
I saw your next note.
28:02
Yes.
28:03
I heard about that.
28:04
Okay.
28:05
I know it was up North.
28:07
It was on King's Dominion or Kings Island.
28:11
Yep.
28:11
Amusement park.
28:12
Yes.
28:12
a 30 year old man was on the rollercoaster, which went upside down and he lost his keys.
28:19
And he argued with the workers that he wanted to go get his keys.
28:24
They told him he had to wait until the park closed.
28:26
and he did not listen.
28:28
He did not accept that and he went into the restricted area.
28:32
He had to go through like two or three fences, whatever.
28:35
Yeah, to get there.
28:37
and was hit by the rollercoaster, taken to the hospital and did not make it.
28:42
Nope.
28:42
I mean, I understand wanting to get your keys.
28:44
I really, really do.
28:46
But do you not understand yeah, so I was thinking he was hit by like somebody's feet or something, so do you?
28:54
I don't know what you're saying.
28:56
Okay.
28:56
It was like a hanging one, so I would assume it would be, yeah, somebody's body part that hit him, like, could you imagine?
29:03
Oh my gosh, that's terrible.
29:05
Unless it was like on the loop de loop and it got, you know what I mean?
29:10
Like when it goes upside down.
29:11
Yeah.
29:12
But even that still, it would still be the feet, I guess.
29:14
Right.
29:14
It's not going to hit him when that upside down in the air.
29:17
Yeah.
29:18
Oh, I saw that though.
29:20
38 year old man.
29:21
Yeah.
29:22
I don't think that's anything I would ever really have to worry about going through to get to the restricted areas like that.
29:28
And wouldn't you think, Hey, I might get hurt.
29:31
I need to be careful.
29:33
I need to be on the lookout if you're going to do that.
29:36
You know, it makes you just wonder most amusement parks now serve alcohol and they serve, you know, whatever, or I'm not sure what's legal in that state.
29:46
I'm sure there might be other things.
29:49
Well, and even if it's not legal, it's, he might have had something in the system before he got there.
29:54
Right.
29:54
So, uh, that's a dumb way to die.
29:58
That's dumb ways to die.
30:00
That is a dumb way to die.
30:02
That is a dumb way to die.
30:04
Mm mm.
30:05
Not at all.
30:06
We were talking about doing like roller coasters and stuff last week Do you ever feel like that?
30:11
You're just gonna like this is the one where I'm gonna fly out of the roller coaster seat Never before but as many videos.
30:18
Mm hmm and as many like ride malfunctions is going on right now like last year when the fury was cracked.
30:27
Yeah, and it was God knows how long it was cracked for right?
30:31
You Like that's terrifying.
30:33
Yeah, I have the moment of panic, especially like the first ride of the season when you're going up that first big hill that most roller coasters have and you can't see the crest of it and you can't see like what's next.
30:46
I have that moment of This is how I'm going to go.
30:50
And then it's like, I get to the top and we do that first little drop.
30:53
And I'm like, yeah, if I get, there's nothing I can do about it now.
30:58
So do you see the, like the videos of rides in other countries?
31:02
Yes.
31:02
Yes.
31:03
That are insane.
31:04
Yeah.
31:05
And I'm like, I don't know if I can do that.
31:07
I love some scary rides and I love to be scared in like the adrenaline rush.
31:12
Yeah.
31:13
But I don't know like some of those some I feel like Tokyo has a lot of crazy ones I don't know.
31:19
It just makes me like scared.
31:20
Just thinking about it.
31:21
Like I know that you look stressed out I watch them and I just think like Go through your head as you're waiting to get on those rides.
31:30
So did I tell you I read the one?
31:33
That went straight up and straight down A lot goes through your mind.
31:38
And especially some of those water rides.
31:40
Oh, yeah.
31:41
Absolutely not.
31:42
Well, especially when the sides aren't very high.
31:46
All I think is besides like death.
31:48
Right.
31:50
Wardrobe malfunction.
31:51
Totally.
31:52
Totally.
31:53
And being like butt naked.
31:55
Right.
31:55
Oh, or, or just your biggest wedgie ever as you're trying to get up out of the thing like a lady.
32:04
Even if you wanted to have children, you wouldn't be having children.
32:06
Right.
32:07
Right.
32:09
Right.
32:09
Lots of, I, I, yeah, no.
32:14
There, that bad mom's page.
32:16
There was a picture the other day of this.
32:18
teenager gymnast doing a cartwheel and She had a wardrobe malfunction With her unitard thing was so when she did the cartwheel it went it split her and The comments in the comment section were pure gold Because it was just I can't say it was hilarious.
32:43
Did you see the one on there that the lady was at the public pool and she just had on like a regular bikini?
32:50
And I saw you commented on it.
32:51
Good job.
32:52
Yes, but the woman was like the, the owner, whoever ran it was, just like pure, jealous.
32:59
Yeah, and basically got her kicked out.
33:01
Yeah of the and she didn't have on anything inappropriate But she had a gorgeous butt.
33:06
She did.
33:07
I mean she had a booty.
33:08
She really did Yeah, she really did and she so she had on this bathing suit And she cute size, cute shape.
33:16
I mean, and she was not super model thin.
33:20
She was like, she was curvy.
33:21
Right.
33:22
And I guess whoever was just having a moment and jealous about her and one kicked her out because of her bathing suit.
33:28
But it wasn't the first time, according to the reviews, she said, she had like Google reviews.
33:33
It's happened before.
33:34
So I'm thinking like woman scorned her spouse is there.
33:38
And you know, there's issues or, she's just got a classic, you're flat back.
33:46
Oh man.
33:48

33:50
That's horrible to have in front of your kids and everything like, well, especially when we try to teach positive positivity, that's a new word.
34:00
Some people call it body positivity.
34:03
Oh my gosh.
34:03
Speaking of, I saw another thing that said, did we really body shame that much in the 90s and 2000s?
34:09
You do! And it was Nicole Ritchie, and they were telling her she looks too big on TV.
34:14

34:23
Oh, and there was a lot of the, um, Next Top Model things.
34:27
And they were telling them they needed to lose some weight.
34:30
Yeah, your hair is really like flowing so that covers up some of the seven to eight pounds you could stand to lose.
34:35
I was like, and they're like, yeah, I know my, this being here in this competition has got me all messed up.
34:41
And then what made me so mad?
34:43
Okay.
34:43
When men say things like that, it's like jerk.
34:47
But when other women, she was like, you need to learn how to stand.
34:51
So your belly's not showing.
34:53
I just wanted to smack her.
34:55
I'm glad that I feel like we've, Progress.

35:11
God bless us all that survived.
35:16
I know.
35:17
Oh, it was bad.

Right?
38:40
No way.
38:41
Go away.
38:41
Do not see do not.
38:42
Yeah.
38:43
no I've the ones that i've seen that are that i'm like, oh my gosh You are so famous and it is so crazy is there's this one girl named Michaela You And she does makeup and she looks totally different.
38:57
I thought it was like the Boston accent or she puts on like a Yeah, I thought it was like New York or Jersey or something.
39:02
I thought it was supposed to be Boston.
39:04
Yeah, I don't know.
39:04
But she is gorgeous when she, I mean she knows how to use makeup.
39:09
And she does all different kinds of looks.
39:11
That pops up in my feed a lot.
39:14
She got a lot of hate too because her, that accent's fake.
39:17
Oh, is it?
39:18
Once.
39:19
Yeah, somebody like they, they went back, dug deep and found her old videos that she has a regular voice and a regular accent.
39:27
Okay.
39:27
And so she was, she totally switched that up to get attention.
39:32
Oh, well, it kind of worked, I guess.
39:34
Well, she's always saying that like, these are her real opinions on the makeup.
39:37
Yeah.
39:38
Like her real reviews and she was getting.
39:41
Hate for that.
39:42
No, paid.
39:43
But she wasn't saying that.
39:44
She was saying it was like her real opinions, but yeah, she was being, I don't care if people get paid to review items, she had flip flopped on a lot of them.
39:51
Like her personal videos were like, I hate this product, it's terrible, blah, blah, blah.
39:56
And then it was like, oh, this is the best product I've ever used.
39:59
Oh, see.
40:01
And I've taken her advice on some products.
40:03
I need a legit good.
40:04
Skincare person I can find that's gonna tell me the truth, but yeah So she got a lot of hate and then her whole wedding was sponsored I did hear that.
40:15
So would you do that though?
40:17
Like would you accept sponsorships for something like that?
40:20
I don't know.
40:22
I'm not an influencer.
40:23
My opinion doesn't matter and it matters to me.
40:27
It matters to me.
40:29
So yeah, I don't know.
40:30
It's um, yeah, I don't know.
40:34
Half of me feels like it's tacky.
40:35
Yes.
40:36
and then the other half is like, well, heck, if it's going to pay for the wedding.
40:39
Right.
40:40
I mean, it is, it is a little crass, I would say, but then again, I have a really great wedding on somebody else's dime.
40:48
Yeah.
40:48
Did you look at the Karen Reid trial at all?
40:51
Did you have time?
40:51
A little bit.
40:52
Yeah.
40:53
A little bit.
40:54
Not like a super lot.
40:56
Does it have there been more?
40:57
well, the jury's out right now.
40:58
They're still out.
41:00
They're hoping tomorrow because it's Friday.
41:02
Yeah.
41:03
That they'll come to whatever conclusion.
41:04
But the last thing that I saw was that the defense attorney brought to the judge.
41:10
That the jury.
41:12
Tickety boxes for guilty, not guilty.
41:15
ballot ballots.
41:16
Well, I don't know what they're called.
41:17
Whatever.
41:17
Yeah.
41:18
Um, tickety boxes.
41:20
Sounds right.
41:21
Ticket boxes, yeah.
41:21
It didn't have like a, not guilty for like the lesser charges.
41:26
Oh.
41:26
It had like, not guilty on the top.
41:27
And then it had like the lesser charges and you can check off a box, but it didn't say like, guilty.
41:31
Not guilty.
41:31
He just said guilty.
41:33
So it was almost like leading the jury.
41:35
Almost like forcing the jury to pick one, but the judge was like, well, no, if they pick not guilty up there and the defense attorney is like, no, like this isn't, that's misleading.
41:45
And this judge has been shady the whole, but like, I mean, you could tell she did not like the defense attorney and you tell, like, she did not like Karen Reed.
41:56
Yeah.
41:56
The entire time.
41:58
She was like, I'm not changing it.
41:59
This is how it's always been.
42:00
He's like, well, I don't care how it's always been.
42:02
It's not right.
42:03
And it shouldn't be this way.
42:04
Like change it.
42:05
Yeah.
42:06
And he said, this is, this will be grounds for appeal.
42:08
If, if it comes back as guilty, this is grounds for appeal.
42:11
And she was like, well, it's not getting changed.
42:13
And she walks out an hour later, she came back and changed the ballot or changed whatever the ticket boxes were.
42:18
Um, I was thinking that I feel like there should be some kind of a standard format.
42:24
Yeah, that that goes in for everybody.
42:27
and I mean, I know that it's different depending on the case, but, you know, Guilty and all those choices not guilty all this or however.
42:36
Yeah And that's not what he was saying.
42:38
He's like, it's always been this way.
42:40
Yeah.
42:40
Well, he's like, I don't understand like this is so misleading Saying that they can have not guilty for this mean the big charge.
42:47
Mm hmm, but all these lesser charges It just says guilty with check marks next to it.
42:52
Oh So they did change it and I guess retrained to the The jury or retold them how to use the tickety boxes.
43:01
Yeah, but I mean, it's just been a mess this whole entire time.
43:04
And when it's like that and doesn't flow, it's just calls for speculation.
43:10
And I mean, the whole thing just is to me, highlights the corruption.
43:17
Yeah.
43:17
And what do you, like, do you think that it is good that they are live streaming all these cases?
43:22
no, you don't.
43:25
No, I mean, the only reason they're doing it is, in my opinion, is because we're just nosy people and we want to see it.
43:32
Like, I can't think of anything good that's actually coming from it, but I can think of a lot of bad reasons that this could come out.
43:42
For instance, like we've talked about before, people on trial seeing witnesses.
43:46
Like, now you're opening up to the whole world.
43:49
Have you watched the Young Thug trial at all?
43:52
that, judge.
43:53
Doesn't play is corrupt.
43:55
Oh, really?
43:56
I I believe so.
43:57
he had a ex parte meeting Whatever it's called.
44:02
so the defense was like I want to know what was said like I should have been part of this You met with a witness you had the Prosecution there like I should have been there or I want to see He put the he put the defense attorney in contempt of court put him in wanted to put him in jail Have you heard about all the shootings in florida?
44:18
You With the um, so the rapper Fulio was killed.
44:23
I know Coolio Fulio.
44:25
I've never heard of this guy.
44:26
Okay.
44:27
Okay, so he was killed and now there's just like some kind of beef between him and another one and according to Jackson, which I'm sure this is a hundred percent true Like twenty something people I've gotten killed in I want to say Tampa Jacksonville areas.
44:45
Yeah So keep your ears on that.
44:47
Did you see I tagged you on the Florida pop guy, um, that does the No! I tagged you on TikTok.
44:56
I saw you tag me but I didn't look at the one who does the Sheriff Polk I think his name is.
45:00
Yeah, who does the Statements and stuff.
45:02
Uh huh.
45:02
So yeah, he's hysterical.
45:04
He is so funny.
45:05
You need to watch it.
45:06
I definitely will.
45:07
He's one of them.
45:08
I mean, there's like three or four counties.
45:11
Okay, I'll have to do it I take time sometimes all the notifications stress me out like there's They're just all there and I need to filter them better.
45:21
I don't know.
45:21
So well, I tagged you from our page our page Yeah, I saw it come through cuz I got an email then that you did so I'll look at it again Yeah, I know you tagged me in the yard work all the gentlemen that help the nice ladies with yard work So I mean is what it is now.
45:37
I know why you like Make sense now I can get into yard work if that was what we were planting Oh my goodness, that's funny.
45:52
I think I got a couple of good.
45:54
Okay.
45:54
hopefully we don't like cry laugh.
45:56
Yeah.
45:57
During this whole thing.
45:57
Brian was like, what took so long?
45:59
I was like, babe, we could not get it together about this one.
46:02
I was trying to figure out what that name was.
46:04
Yeah, I think it was just a throwaway account.
46:06
Oh, that's why it says throw.
46:08
Yeah.
46:08
Okay.
46:09
Am I that a hole for pretending to get fired when customers get a temper with me?
46:14
I'm a high schooler with a weekend job at a coffee shop.
46:17
My co workers, who work weekends, are James, the owner's son.
46:20
He goes to my school.
46:22
He's a shift manager, but not A real formal thing.
46:25
He's a friendly guy.
46:26
Danielle, college student who sometimes works weekends too.
46:30
So sometimes customers will come in and just be angry about such little stuff.
46:34
Like literally blow up about nothing.
46:36
I don't know if they're bad mood already and looking for someone to take it out on or what, but it's a lot.
46:42
So, how sad that a grown man is taking your anger out on high school and college kids.
46:48
So, James and I were joking about having a little fun with them and hopefully getting them off our backs.
46:54
So, one day.
46:55
I was at work and some guy was having a temper about how we don't make the coffee hot enough, which I couldn't do a thing about because I gave it to him right out of the machine.
47:04
So James came in.
47:05
I was like, sir, is there a problem here?
47:06
And the guy started ranting at him too.
47:09
So he was like, OP, this is unacceptable.
47:12
You're fired.
47:14
I started acting real sad, like, no, please don't fire me.
47:17
My family needs the money.
47:18
I need this job, please.
47:20
And he played it up being really mean, telling me to take off my apron and leave.
47:24
The angry guy started to backtrack, like, no, it isn't that big of a problem.
47:27
You don't need to fire her over it.
47:29
I didn't mean it.
47:30
And James was like, no, we pride ourselves on the best customer service.
47:35
Of course, after all that drama, I still had my job, we were just acting, and we've done it a couple of times.
47:40
Whenever a customer will lose their temper at Danielle or I, James will storm in and fire us.
47:45
Almost every time the person who had come in angry apologizes and say they didn't mean it.
47:50
It's kind of satisfying, making people realize their actions might actually have consequences.
47:54
Anyway, I was telling my friends from school about this, and a few of them thought it was a mean prank to let someone go away thinking they'd gotten someone who desperately needs the money fired.
48:03
Am I the a hole for this joke?
48:05
No, I don't think so either.
48:06
I love it.
48:07
I do too.
48:08
I mean because you have not worked in customer service Okay, you don't understand but some of the way the ways that these people act is just Unnecessary so they need to get called out the carpet for it.
48:21
No Do it, bro.
48:23
Yeah, girl, whatever, whichever.
48:24
I worked in a call center setting before.
48:26
Yeah.
48:26
right when we moved to Tennessee and, the girl that you can sit across from me, if they asked for a supervisor, we would just switch back and forth, send the call across the aisle.
48:36
Yeah.
48:37
I mean, I've worked in that kind of center, uh, before and I've also worked retail.
48:42
I worked at Old Navy for a little bit.
48:43
Yeah.
48:44
And just the, the way that people act.
48:49
Over, like they said over nothing of significance and it's 10 times worse now.
48:54
Like I couldn't imagine having to work in retail right now.
48:56
No, me neither.
48:58
No, you're, you're not an a hole keep doing you.
49:00
Yeah.
49:01
I love that.
49:01
I do too.
49:02
And I think it's.
49:05
Awesome.
49:05
It is teaching them a lesson.
49:07
Think about how you're like, they're a real life perspective.
49:10
Yeah.
49:11
Yeah.
49:12
Not the a hole.
49:13
Nope.
49:14
That was a good one.
49:15
Am I the a hole for telling my in laws exactly where my husband was when I was in labor?
49:20
I gave birth to my son 10 weeks ago.
49:22
I went through exhausting period while I was nearing my due date.
49:25
I was experiencing discomfort and one of my husband by my side when I go into labor, but he'd go out every night to hang out at his friend's place and watch football games.
49:34
I suggested that he play or watch games at home just in case, but he was having none of it and said he had to attend game night at his brother and friend's place along with his buddies.
49:44
He said they had certain, how can I describe it, quote, rituals when watching a game and he can't.
49:51
enjoy doing it at home or anywhere else.
49:53
The night of our son's birth my water broke while my husband was at his buddy's place watching the game.
49:58
I called him and told him to get home and take me to the hospital and he said he was coming but he didn't.
50:04
I ended up calling my sister, she lives nearby, and she took me to the hospital.
50:08
My husband showed up two hours later after he kept calling asking if I was still in labor and that he was almost done watching the game.
50:16
He was able to make it on time for our son's birth, but I was furious with him and mad and disappointed.
50:21
He apologized profoundly and has been working, regaining my trust and respect for him after what he's done.
50:27
He's otherwise very supportive and involved in our son's care.
50:31
Last night, I was at my in laws house for dinner and we were talking about my son's birth date.
50:36
My husband suddenly started, quote, recalling what happened that night and basically started lying about driving me to the hospital, waiting and feeling stressed out and standing on the for so long without food or water.
50:47
I was confused.
50:48
And I said, no, none of this is true.
50:50
None of this happened.
50:51
In fact, he was watching the game when I went into labor and wanted him to drive me to the hospital, but he didn't show up until two hours later, my mother in law who takes no crap from anybody and whom everyone fears lost it on him, yelling, asking him if that was true.
51:06
And he kept quiet.
51:07
She started berating him.
51:09
left and right, telling him to sit down and shut up.
51:12
Everyone was laughing at how she basically treated him as if he was a boy in trouble.
51:16
She kept saying, shame on you.
51:18
Shame, shame, shame.
51:19
This is not how I raised my children to treat their wives.
51:21
Jordan, you're a disgrace.
51:23
And I'm disappointed because of what I heard about you.
51:26
He literally swallowed every bit of his mother's berating and didn't say anything until we got home.
51:31
Where he went nuts, saying I made him look neglectful, a bad husband and father by telling the family about where he was.
51:38
And I shouldn't have said anything, but I argued it wasn't okay for him to lie and play hero in front of his parents.
51:45
He said I just caused a rift between him and his family and asked if I was happy now.
51:49
Am I the a hole?
51:50
Should I have not said anything?
51:51
Edited to say he's done similar things in the past since he's a major enthusiast of football and hockey, but I didn't expect to get that.
51:59
He's Also, this is not our first baby together.
52:01
We have a four year old son.
52:03
I don't care if they have another child in the mix She is not the a hole.
52:07
No, and I when he said are you happy?
52:11
I would have been like, yes, I am I am sorry like that is the fact that he said that she caused the rift No, dude, you do you did when you chose to do what you did.
52:22
Yeah, and If he's embarrassed by it to make up all these lies, then that's probably meaning that he knows he's in the wrong.
52:33
Yeah.
52:33
And like, do you really think he was at his friend's house?
52:38
I don't know.
52:39
I think it's weird.
52:39
Like, why wouldn't you leave the, like, you're watching a game, like your wife's in labor.
52:44
think there's something more suspect going on.
52:46
Are we going to solve this case too?
52:48
I don't, I mean, maybe, but he said his brother, well, then his brother would take up for him, too.
52:53
Um, I think it's weird.
52:57
It's, oh, it's very weird.
52:58
I can't see, the only thing that I feel like I could even kind of understand is if it was a Super Bowl, and it was the very last game, and they had gone undefeated all season, and they had the specific rituals that they did, and so he had to, to do those.
53:18
And I mean, I couldn't even understand that really, but that's like the only thing that makes any kind of not even sense, but two hours.
53:28
Yeah.
53:29
Saying that you're on the way and not show up while your wife isn't like gone into labor.
53:33
Right.
53:34
Water broke.
53:36
No.
53:37
I mean, yeah, no, that's, she needs to, first of all, she needs to leave him.
53:42
What?
53:43
And his parents, I'm glad they had her back.
53:46
Yeah.
53:46
He probably was with another woman.
53:47
That's where my mind went, but you're probably right.
53:51
I don't know.
53:53
Dump him.
53:55
Not beta.
53:56
No, he is.
53:58
Definitely he is.
53:59
And good for his mom.
54:01
Right.
54:03
Good for her.
54:04
Yeah, put him in his place.
54:06
Cause obviously he didn't care.
54:07
Well, I guess she said he's trying to make it up to her, I guess.
54:09
But there's no making up for that.
54:11
No.
54:12
No.
54:13
I mean, that could have put her in a dangerous spot.
54:16
So, Dylan was in the NICU when he was born.
54:18
He was in the NICU for a week.
54:21
And, Brandon did that night.
54:24
He was there for the birth, and I had like a private room, in the whatever unit, the maternity ward or whatever, but, um, the night that Dylan was born, Brandon left me there and left Dylan in the NICU and went and played poker.
54:40
Are you kidding me?
54:41
No.
54:41
Now, I will say that I sent Brian, so I sent the, when the night Jackson was born, well, he's born like seven o'clock in the morning.
54:50
I put Jackson in the nursery that night and cause I was exhausted.
54:53
I'd been laboring all night and, I put him in the nursery and sent Brian home.
54:58
Because I was like, I don't want to deal with you or you or you know, I had a c section Oh, so you were like, yeah out of it.
55:06
Yeah Well, we didn't even know that.
55:09
He was in the NICU they When I woke up in the recovery room, it was like hours and hours later and I asked Brandon I'm like, where's the baby and he's like, I don't know they haven't come in yet.
55:19
And I'm like you haven't asked where the baby is You know men are so funny with You Things sometimes he's like, well, no, and no sooner did I say that a doctor walks in and he's like, I'm doctor.
55:32
So and so a neonatal surgeon and I was like, and he's like, we didn't have to do surgery.
55:38
He's on the neck.
55:39
You he wasn't breathing.
55:41
Like, he had to the fluids and stuff.
55:44
During the birth and so, he was, they had kept him in there for six days or seven days.
55:50
Max was in the NICU too.
55:51
It was scary.
55:52
Yeah, he's like, oh, I don't know.
55:54
They just haven't brought him yet.
55:55
And I'm like, And went and played poker.
