  This is my circus where you does so well.
• 0:05
  Oh, well sometimes, sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.
• 0:10
  So I have a question for you.
• 0:12
  I cannot wait.
• 0:13
  Okay.
• 0:14
  What's up?
• 0:15
  It's just on my mind cause I had said something to Brandon and he looked at me like I was bananas, so, which is true most of the time, right?
• 0:22
  Right.
• 0:22
  That I am bananas.
• 0:24
  So we were talking about.
• 0:26
  Like Dylan, um, you know, next year and trying to figure out what he wants to do.
• 0:30
  Yeah.
• 0:30
  You know, whatever.
• 0:31
  And I was like, well, if you could start over and do any, like, knowing now what you know.
• 0:34
  Okay.
• 0:34
  What would you do?
• 0:35
  And he's like, I'm doing it.
• 0:37
  Like I, I'm running a business.
• 0:38
  Like this is what I do.
• 0:39
  I was like, that's, and he's like, why?
• 0:42
  What would you wanna do?
• 0:43
  And I was like, well, I think it'd be so fun to be a private detective.
• 0:49
  Oh yeah.
• 0:50
  Like, I love.
• 0:52
  Some good gossip.
• 0:52
  Like I wanna be involved in the gossip, but I wanna hear it right.
• 0:54
  Oh yeah.
• 0:55
  And I like drama just not mine.
• 0:57
  Yeah.
• 0:57
  Or, yeah, I don't wanna be in it.
• 0:59
  I wanna see it, you know?
• 1:00
  I think we'd actually be really good.
• 1:02
  I am like really good at like Googling, I mean, it's Google, right?
• 1:07
  You just type a name in there, but like somebody will say, Hey, my son's dating so and so, and I'm like, one second.
• 1:13
  Yeah, I think it would be.
• 1:15
  So much like, I don't know.
• 1:16
  I think it'd be fun.
• 1:16
  Like sit in a car and stalk people.
• 1:18
  Kind of like, yeah, like pictures that, okay.
• 1:23
  So now, is that what you wanted to be?
• 1:26
  What did you wanna be when you were younger?
• 1:28
  Oh, I wanted to be a marine biologist, which is like, so not like, yeah, what I do and I'm not good at.
• 1:33
  Me raining, but I like, I like stream life.
• 1:37
  Fish are pretty No.
• 1:38
  So like, when I was really mermaids.
• 1:40
  Yeah.
• 1:40
  Oh yes.
• 1:41
  You know.
• 1:41
  Oh, in the, in the dinosaurs that are in the, didn't say it all, it comes back.
• 1:45
  So when I was little, my aunt, um, lived in een, which is the island like right over, from Atlantic City.
• 1:50
  Mm-hmm.
• 1:50
  And so we would go there every summer and um, she would, you know, we would spend a week there for my birthday.
• 1:55
  Yeah.
• 1:56
  but they had a marine rescue center there.
• 1:58
  Nice.
• 1:58
  And they had sea turtles there and Oh, nice.
• 2:01
  you know, different, um, sea animals that they were rehabilitating.
• 2:04
  And it was so cool.
• 2:05
  And so like I was totally obsessed with sea life with that.
• 2:09
  Yeah.
• 2:09
  Um, so when I was little, like that's what I really wanted.
• 2:12
  That was your thing.
• 2:13
  Yeah.
• 2:13
  Um, but as I got older, I didn't wanna do anything.
• 2:19
  Like there wasn't anything that was like, oh, like this is what I wanna do.
• 2:22
  Right.
• 2:22
  You know?
• 2:22
  Right.
• 2:23
  Nothing was really gravity.
• 2:23
  Yeah.
• 2:24
  But like, that was like my dream when I was little.
• 2:26
  Okay.
• 2:27
  I could, I could have seen you being your little white coat being in No, I'm just kidding.
• 2:31
  Working at SeaWorld.
• 2:34
  Let's just get a koi pond.
• 2:36
  Is that.
• 2:37
  Translate.
• 2:38
  No, I don't want like a slimy fish.
• 2:40
  Oh.
• 2:40
  But I did some of the dolphins.
• 2:42
  Are they very non slimy fish?
• 2:43
  Yeah.
• 2:44
  I don't know.
• 2:44
  Okay.
• 2:44
  But dolphins aren't very slimy.
• 2:46
  They're not.
• 2:47
  Have you ever done the um, Have you ever done sting race?
• 2:51
  No.
• 2:52
  Well, I mean, I've pet them before.
• 2:53
  You've pet them?
• 2:53
  Yeah.
• 2:54
  So we went on a trip several years ago and um, we did the, the excursion where you go out and the stingray swim around you.
• 3:02
  first of all, I think Brian was a little terrified because Steve Irwin history and Jackson was.
• 3:08
  Just straight up terrified.
• 3:11
  They swim by you and they are so soft and gentle and you just bare.
• 3:16
  It's like a cat going by you and you just feel it.
• 3:18
  But every time it would happen, Jackson would scream and just, and he'll deny it to this day.
• 3:24
  But yeah, he was.
• 3:25
  He was not Jackson.
• 3:26
  We know the truth.
• 3:27
  We know the truth.
• 3:27
  You were terrified of those little.
• 3:29
  Sting.
• 3:30
  Right.
• 3:30
  You know, Dylan has no fear of like any of that stuff.
• 3:32
  Mm-hmm.
• 3:32
  We went to Mexico and the cruise ship got there late, so we missed the excursion, but we were gonna go swimming with like the, the sharks.
• 3:39
  Yeah.
• 3:39
  Uh, whatever.
• 3:40
  No, I don't think I could do sharks, but I don't think they were like, Great whites.
• 3:43
  Like they were like nerd sharks Doesn't matter.
• 3:47
  Sharks are shark.
• 3:47
  But he was, he loves manatees.
• 3:49
  Like he Oh, I do too.
• 3:51
  Yeah.
• 3:51
  I think they're my spirit animal.
• 3:53
  Yeah.
• 3:53
  Cause they're chunky, but everybody loves'em.
• 3:59
  On the same cruise when we had got to, the keys.
• 4:03
  Yeah.
• 4:03
  Uh, coming back.
• 4:05
  We stopped and ate at a restaurant.
• 4:07
  And Did I say you this already?
• 4:08
  No, I don't.
• 4:08
  Okay.
• 4:09
  I don't think so.
• 4:09
  So there was this whole like big group of people with us, um, from the boat and Dylan was like eight, nine, maybe.
• 4:17
  Mm-hmm.
• 4:18
  And so we were, I was trying to keep him busy while we were written for the food.
• 4:20
  And so we went, um, a little pier that was right there.
• 4:23
  It was a little dock cuz we were pretty close to the water.
• 4:25
  Mm-hmm.
• 4:25
  And a manatee swam right up to the dock and I was like, oh my God.
• 4:29
  Everybody like stopped eating and like ran over, you know, there's a river in Florida.
• 4:35
  Have you, have you heard this?
• 4:36
  Mm-hmm.
• 4:36
  Where like they migrate to, um, and it's around like spring break time, so March, April, I, I think it's Crystal River, but I might totally have made that up.
• 4:44
  But I'd love to go there and see'em all kinda road trip.
• 4:48
  Absolutely.
• 4:49
  I'm telling you, they're my scared animal.
• 4:51
  Hey Janice, you wanna go?
• 4:52
  Yeah, I think she should.
• 4:54
  I mean, she doesn't get a choice.
• 4:55
  Yeah.
• 4:56
  And Holly?
• 4:56
  Yes.
• 4:57
  Oh yes.
• 4:57
  She's, she's Okay.
• 4:59
  So what would you wanna, what?
• 5:00
  Like, if you could, that's a loaded question.
• 5:02
  Um, so I wish that I would have, I think I would've been a good nurse.
• 5:08
  Mm-hmm.
• 5:08
  I wish I could have.
• 5:09
  Yeah.
• 5:10
  Um, I wish I would've gone to nursing school, but like me myself right now, if I didn't have to work and I could just do something to be a contributing member of society, I would like to do, I mean, other than like volunteer work for with kids and stuff, um, Give my umping for free.
• 5:28
  No, I'm just, um, but I would, I would like to be like an interior designer or something like that.
• 5:33
  Yeah, something.
• 5:34
  Your, your house is beautiful, so Oh, thank you.
• 5:35
  It would be, I'm just like doing that kind of stuff.
• 5:38
  Yeah.
• 5:38
  So, um, or like arranging flowers, like something happy.
• 5:42
  Yeah.
• 5:43
  So I can see that.
• 5:44
  Anyhow, that's me.
• 5:45
  Oh, my other option.
• 5:47
  Mm-hmm.
• 5:47
  It, you know, yeah.
• 5:49
  Saying with the animal theme is, I would love to move to Costa Rica and have a small sanctuary.
• 5:55
  There would not be anything that happened quickly there.
• 5:57
  No.
• 5:58
  And it would be amazing.
• 5:59
  It would be pretty amazing.
• 6:01
  Is that where sloths, is that the plural of a sloth?
• 6:04
  Yes.
• 6:05
  Sloths?
• 6:05
  Mm-hmm.
• 6:08
  Is that where they live?
• 6:09
  Mm-hmm.
• 6:09
  Costa Rica.
• 6:10
  That's the only place.
• 6:11
  No.
• 6:11
  I'm sure there's other places, but that is like from sloths are from historic era.
• 6:16
  Dinosaurs.
• 6:17
  Yes.
• 6:17
  I'm telling you all these things linked back.
• 6:19
  I know.
• 6:19
  I'm just saying.
• 6:20
  Mm-hmm.
• 6:21
  Okay.
• 6:21
  Well that was my question for the day.
• 6:23
  Well, I like that because Brandon looked at me like I was nuts.
• 6:25
  He's like, so, oh, this is what his exact words were.
• 6:27
  So like, not like a detective, but like a private detective.
• 6:29
  And I was like, I don't wanna go through police school.
• 6:32
  No, I would not make a good police officer.
• 6:35
  I am good at like, Right.
• 6:38
  Just be like, Keegan, I, I wanna, I wanna know, but I don't wanna be involved.
• 6:41
  Well, if you're a private detective, you're typically in business for yourself.
• 6:44
  Yeah.
• 6:44
  If you are a detective, you gotta listen to other, and you gotta follow rules.
• 6:49
  I don't wanna do that.
• 6:50
  Me neither.
• 6:51
  Me neither.
• 6:51
  Not at all.
• 6:52
  I.
• 6:52
  Um, thank you for rescheduling this week.
• 6:55
  You know, we were supposed to record earlier.
• 6:56
  Yes.
• 6:56
  But I had an emergency call.
• 6:58
  I Oh, yeah.
• 6:59
  Yes.
• 6:59
  Tell me about that.
• 7:00
  You said you were gonna tell me.
• 7:00
  Yeah, so I was actually supposed to have dinner with somebody, so we were supposed to record at like five or something, and then I was having dinner like six or seven later.
• 7:07
  And, um, I got a call from the UMP squad and I was like, crap, I'm in trouble.
• 7:13
  Like, that was my first instinct is there have been so many complaints I'm over with.
• 7:17
  Um, but so the guy was like, so, um, actually it was a text, so let me get that straight.
• 7:23
  Um, he was like, Hey, how do you feel about doing the next level up?
• 7:30
  And I was like, My services are needed.
• 7:35
  I can't quit now.
• 7:36
  I can't quit now.
• 7:37
  My people need me.
• 7:38
  So basically there was an emergency and there's already, you know, we talked about there's just not enough.
• 7:43
  Um, some rests in the world.
• 7:44
  So they were, he was like, can you do the next level up?
• 7:47
  And I was like, what's the difference?
• 7:49
  You know, whatever.
• 7:50
  And he was telling me just some of the differences, you know, and he was like, I haven't had any complaints about anything you've done.
• 7:55
  And I was like, nobody complained about my bad call.
• 7:58
  So all I thank you.
• 8:00
  Nobody knows how to get in touch with the guy that they need to complain to.
• 8:06
  Um, so anyway, I ended up doing, on Tuesday night.
• 8:09
  I have been umping machine this week.
• 8:11
  So Tuesday night I had two.
• 8:13
  I had my regular age group, and then I had the older age group and it actually went fine.
• 8:17
  Good.
• 8:18
  Like one right after the other?
• 8:19
  Yes.
• 8:19
  Felt like you were warmed up.
• 8:20
  I was warmed up and ready.
• 8:21
  I had stretched, stretched out, you know, do whatever.
• 8:25
  So, I did two on Monday night, two on Tuesday night, and then two last night.
• 8:30
  Oh my God.
• 8:30
  I'm telling you, I am like the woman you are not.
• 8:34
  I'm really not, but, but it's been, yeah.
• 8:36
  So I figured there's only like a few weeks left.
• 8:38
  Anyway, so I'm gonna go ahead and milk a while.
• 8:40
  I can.
• 8:40
  Mm-hmm.
• 8:41
  I'm putting this in my Costa Rica.
• 8:42
  Start a slot sanctuary.
• 8:45
  Sorry.
• 8:45
  So, um, saw sanctuary, that's kind of hard to say.
• 8:48
  I did that really well.
• 8:50
  You did do that really well.
• 8:50
  That could have gone bad.
• 8:51
  Yeah.
• 8:52
  It could have.
• 8:53
  Yeah.
• 8:53
  But we, yeah.
• 8:54
  So any who, um, okay.
• 8:56
  You wanna jump into our book thing?
• 8:58
  Yeah.
• 8:58
  Okay.
• 8:59
  Big Little Lies.
• 9:00
  How did you like it?
• 9:01
  Um, and wait, who's it by?
• 9:03
  I didn't list it up.
• 9:04
  Oh, I have it right here.
• 9:04
  Do you?
• 9:05
  Okay.
• 9:05
  I usually do, actually.
• 9:06
  It's right in here.
• 9:07
  Um, Leanne Maro.
• 9:11
  Yeah.
• 9:11
  I don't think I'm saying that right, but that's, I think it's lion like Diane.
• 9:15
  That's how I'm saying it in my head.
• 9:16
  Okay, I'll, I'll go with that.
• 9:18
  I really have no idea.
• 9:19
  Okay.
• 9:20
  I'm sorry, but how did I like it?
• 9:22
  I did not really.
• 9:24
  I did not, no, I listened to it.
• 9:26
  Mm-hmm.
• 9:26
  Did not read the book book.
• 9:28
  Um, and I thought, oh, I'm sorry.
• 9:32
  I feel like I'd have to like every book, but I didn't like this one.
• 9:34
  Like, I thought the first, like 80% of the book was boring.
• 9:37
  Mm-hmm.
• 9:37
  Oh, really?
• 9:38
  Yes.
• 9:39
  And I don't know why, because I, there was like really good reviews on this book.
• 9:43
  Yeah.
• 9:43
  And the last 20 minutes when you got closer to like the, Climax of what was going on.
• 9:49
  I was all in at that point.
• 9:50
  Cause I really was invested, but I just felt like the other was just So you had a hard time to share.
• 9:55
  Yeah.
• 9:55
  So sell me on it.
• 9:56
  What'd you think?
• 9:57
  I, okay.
• 9:58
  I've got lots of thoughts.
• 9:59
  Okay, good.
• 10:00
  Because I wanted to like it.
• 10:01
  Okay.
• 10:02
  Um, so Madeline, who is one of the main characters, I feel like I can be best friends with her.
• 10:08
  Okay.
• 10:09
  Because I think she's a little bit like all over the place.
• 10:12
  Like she acts before she thinks, like, I just feel like I connected with that a lot.
• 10:17
  Like she runs her mouth without like thinking she, she did okay.
• 10:21
  I could see that.
• 10:21
  Um, and I feel like, like that would be my friend group if I was in that situation.
• 10:27
  Like I don't feel I'd be with like, The fru fruy moms, like, I'm not that mom.
• 10:32
  No.
• 10:33
  Um, like they're kind of like the little misfit group, like almost, you know, like they're like a mishmash.
• 10:37
  Yeah.
• 10:37
  And I feel like those are my people when side note.
• 10:41
  Mm-hmm.
• 10:41
  When Jackson was in, like moms morning out before he started school, I was not like in, cause I was a working mom.
• 10:47
  Yeah.
• 10:48
  None of the other moms there really had anything to do with me.
• 10:51
  I know.
• 10:52
  And I don't know if it's because I was there so infrequently or if they just already knew each other.
• 10:57
  Yeah.
• 10:57
  And I'm not from the area, so I was the outside, whatever.
• 11:00
  Yeah.
• 11:00
  But yeah, so I was like not involved with the mom.
• 11:04
  Like I went to school stuff, but I was like not standing with them while they waiting on their kids and stuff.
• 11:08
  Yeah.
• 11:08
  It was awkward.
• 11:09
  I didn't, that was hard.
• 11:10
  Yeah.
• 11:10
  Anyway, so.
• 11:12
  You could relate to her.
• 11:13
  You felt like that would your people?
• 11:14
  Yeah, I can, I can see that too.
• 11:15
  Yeah, I get that.
• 11:16
  Um, so I, I really feel, and like, you know, she just seemed like she'd always be there.
• 11:23
  I mean, she was always there, like when something needed.
• 11:24
  I just, I just feel like that would be my, my, those would be my people.
• 11:27
  Yeah.
• 11:27
  Um, I think that, um, I mean I think the, the issues with, um, like the relationships Yeah.
• 11:39
  Are like, Relatable.
• 11:41
  I don't think it was anything like over the top.
• 11:43
  Yeah.
• 11:44
  Um, what did you think about the twist at the end?
• 11:47
  Um, didn't see it coming.
• 11:49
  Okay.
• 11:50
  Did you?
• 11:50
  No.
• 11:51
  I mean, I figured that it was gonna be one of those people mm-hmm.
• 11:55
  That was involved in the, in the like, Big TAA moment.
• 11:59
  Yeah.
• 12:00
  But I didn't think it was gonna be the other.
• 12:02
  Yeah.
• 12:02
  Um, that kind of ca hit me outta left field.
• 12:05
  Yeah.
• 12:05
  Um, but some pretty deep issues in that Yes.
• 12:08
  Book too.
• 12:09
  Yes.
• 12:09
  Which, um, sugar warning there is, um, like domestic violence.
• 12:13
  Yeah.
• 12:13
  Um, issues that occur and, and it gets a little bit graphic.
• 12:17
  It does.
• 12:18
  Um, so if you have anything triggering for that, this would not be the book for you.
• 12:22
  Right.
• 12:22
  But, I do feel like it was told really well.
• 12:26
  yeah, I agree.
• 12:27
  The feelings of, you know, like, is it my fault?
• 12:29
  Is it not my fault?
• 12:30
  Mm-hmm.
• 12:30
  do I participate in this?
• 12:31
  Is it right?
• 12:32
  So I feel like there was a lot of, stuff touched on Right.
• 12:35
  That a lot of other books don't touch on.
• 12:37
  Right.
• 12:37
  Well, and you said, you know, do I participate in this and how do I participate in this?
• 12:41
  Mm-hmm.
• 12:41
  Like I am I an active watcher.
• 12:45
  Or am I gonna participate?
• 12:47
  Um, you know, am I gonna fight back or am I gonna run away or am I gonna, you know, whatever.
• 12:53
  How do you get, yeah, there was like a lot of huge thoughts went through my, did go through my head about that and just, um, you know, really respect for the people that I've been in domestic violence situations.
• 13:03
  Yes.
• 13:03
  And, taking those next steps to move on, get out, do what's best for them and their family.
• 13:08
  Yeah.
• 13:08
  Um, but I did, I did think that there was a good perspective.
• 13:13
  because you just, maybe it's just me and how I think, you know, I always think one-sided Yeah.
• 13:18
  When I hear about domestic violence situations, so to kind of get a little deeper there Yeah.
• 13:23
  Was interesting.
• 13:25
  Yeah.
• 13:25
  Um, and I'm sure it's real.
• 13:26
  Yeah.
• 13:27
  I mean, yeah.
• 13:27
  I'm sure that, I mean, yeah.
• 13:28
  But, um, I, I do, I thought that they, they covered it Well, they covered like how the kids are affected.
• 13:34
  Well, right.
• 13:35
  Um, which you don't care about a lot.
• 13:36
  You don't like we know that.
• 13:38
  Mm-hmm.
• 13:39
  We know that what we do in our homes affects our kids.
• 13:41
  Yeah.
• 13:41
  You know, we, we kind of know it like on one side of our mind, but sometimes we don't always acknowledge it and live the way that we should to Right.
• 13:49
  Not influence our kids or whatever.
• 13:51
  Um, but that definitely, you know, Was brought out at the end of the book that that's legit.
• 13:58
  Yeah.
• 13:58
  Um, that's something that really happened.
• 14:00
  It was intense.
• 14:01
  It was intense.
• 14:02
  So that's, and that all that was like at that, the endish of the book.
• 14:06
  Mm-hmm.
• 14:06
  So I guess that's why I was like, can we just get through all the niceties kind of Yeah.
• 14:10
  Um, you felt it went on too long?
• 14:11
  Yeah.
• 14:12
  Yeah.
• 14:12
  That's just, well, it was like a 14 hour.
• 14:15
  It was a long, I think it was like 14 hours, um, the, the audiobook.
• 14:18
  Right.
• 14:19
  So it felt like it was a long one.
• 14:21
  Yeah.
• 14:21
  But again, you know, not every book's for everybody.
• 14:23
  Yeah.
• 14:23
  Um, did you have any other thoughts you wanted to hit on?
• 14:25
  No, I think, I just, I, I wanna go watch the series now.
• 14:30
  Yeah.
• 14:31
  Um, I'd probably like that better.
• 14:33
  Yeah.
• 14:33
  I, because I wanna see who plays what roles.
• 14:36
  That's always neat to see though.
• 14:38
  We, we, we need to, we need to see them visually put our eyes on'em.
• 14:41
  Um, but I, I just wonder if it's gonna follow the book very closely or do they take some, you know, some liberties?
• 14:48
  Yes.
• 14:48
  Um, they, I think, you know, most of the time they try to follow mm-hmm.
• 14:54
  But they have to cut so much up because of time.
• 14:56
  Yeah.
• 14:57
  Um, I'm speaking like I'm a director and I know all this stuff.
• 15:01
  I don't know.
• 15:01
  Um, but, uh, I mean, I wouldn't read that one again.
• 15:04
  Yeah.
• 15:04
  But I feel like it was time well spent, if that makes sense.
• 15:07
  Yeah.
• 15:07
  But like it, yeah.
• 15:09
  Moving on.
• 15:09
  So we do have the book list up.
• 15:11
  Yes, we do.
• 15:12
  Um, there was a typo in it, my bad.
• 15:15
  But it has been fixed now and.

  So I, I saw that book.
• 15:37
  Um, I think I'm like Pinterest.
• 15:38
  I'm like, My books read in whatever year and I was like, oh, cool.

  I'm sorry, have you finished it?
• 16:02
  No.
• 16:02
  Okay.
• 16:03
  I'll start that one.
• 16:04
  Yeah.
• 16:04
  Uh, time out.
• 16:06
  Rex is looking at himself again.
• 16:08
  Oh, yes.
• 16:08
  And if you're hearing deep breathing, it's not me or Meredith.
• 16:11
  It is.
• 16:11
  It is Rex.
• 16:12
  Um mm-hmm.
• 16:13
  Giving himself some lovely eyes.
• 16:15
  Yes, he is.
• 16:16
  But I could do some deep breathing.
• 16:17
  It's gotten warm outside.
• 16:18
  It has, and I like it, but I don't want it really get any hotter.
• 16:21
  It's gonna I know.
• 16:23
  Thanks.
• 16:24
  Spoiler alert.
• 16:25
  I wore shorts and I wore'em to Jackson Track meet the other night.
• 16:29
  And he was like, mom, your legs are so white.
• 16:32
  And I was like, I'm trying to get some sun on'em.
• 16:34
  So I, Dylan was like, mom, why aren't you wearing shorts?
• 16:36
  And I'm like, my legs glow right now.
• 16:38
  Right.
• 16:38
  I need to lay out a little bit before I get some, I mean, you gotta wear'em so you can get some sun.
• 16:43
  Yeah.
• 16:44
  I'm waiting for them to put together my, my little lounge.
• 16:46
  My, the new lounge chair we got for outside, are they slacking?
• 16:50
  Well, they're fixing the fences today so that we can open the pool.
• 16:54
  Always something right?
• 16:55
  And then they will work on that.
• 16:58
  So, um, I'm not handy in that sense.
• 17:01
  I can do a little bit to be honest, but why should I, Brian's like, worst fear is when he comes home and there's like a drill sitting somewhere.
• 17:10
  He is like, oh my God, what have she done?
• 17:11
  Now you know that I'm not allowed to paint right.
• 17:14
  No.
• 17:15
  Yeah.
• 17:15
  Didn't you mess up so bad that you can't paint, um, a wall?
• 17:21
  I'm saying that with love.
• 17:22
  I hope you know that I am the worst painter.
• 17:24
  And so Brandon.
• 17:27
  Like wasn't painting like we had all the stuff and I'm like, well, forget this.
• 17:30
  I'm not waiting for him anymore.
• 17:31
  I'm gonna talk myself.
• 17:32
  I'm an independent woman.
• 17:33
  Yeah.
• 17:34
  And so he was like sleeping.
• 17:38
  I got everything out.
• 17:39
  I was like doing like the rolly things.
• 17:40
  Uhhuh like the roller and it Brandon's like all here was do do shhhh.
• 17:44
  And every time like I would like.
• 17:46
  Go against the wall.
• 17:46
  Yes.
• 17:47
  They like hit it really hard.
• 17:49
  It was like funny.
• 17:50
  It was like all over.
• 17:51
  That's funny.
• 17:52
  It was like, you are not allowed to paint.
• 17:53
  You're not allowed to paint.
• 17:54
  And I was like, oh, darn.
• 17:55
  That means you have to, oh, that was a great pause for that tactic.
• 18:00
  I took a page outta his.
• 18:01
  Yeah, yeah.
• 18:02
  Absolutely.
• 18:02
  I, um, I don't mind painting, I'm a messy painter.
• 18:05
  Like, not necessarily on the wall, but I'm covered head to toe even if I just like, touch up trim Yeah.
• 18:10
  Or something.
• 18:11
  Um, but.
• 18:12
  We had a paint, you know, we paint that have to paint the concrete outside by the pool.
• 18:15
  Yeah.
• 18:15
  At every, I don't know, few years.
• 18:16
  Years or whatever.
• 18:17
  And we were painting and so I have to do all the tedious, like around the, the edge and stuff.
• 18:22
  And Brandon old do the roller because I'm not allowed to.
• 18:26
  Not allowed.
• 18:26
  That's that's a simple machine that you could not touch.
• 18:28
  No.
• 18:29
  And there was a little cup of paint or the, the concrete paint.
• 18:32
  Um, and I bent over to pick something up and my phone fell out of my pocket and went, no, it didn't, like, it was like a solo cup.
• 18:40
  Like how, how it even possible it didn't even knock the freaking cup, the the cup.
• 18:46
  Um, and yeah, right.
• 18:49
  I had got a phone cover on it and like, so luckily it didn't do anything to the, but still I was like, what are the odds that it would fall right into a solo cup?
• 18:58
  That's, that's pretty impressive.
• 18:59
  I know.
• 19:00
  I couldn't do it if I tried.
• 19:01
  Right.
• 19:02
  I was gonna ask you something else.
• 19:04
  I don't remember.
• 19:05
  Ooh, random.
• 19:07
  I like random.
• 19:08
  Did you see the 13 year old that got stuck in the claw machine?
• 19:11
  Yes.
• 19:12
  Carowinds, because Jackson was asking, can I go to Carowinds this weekend?
• 19:16
  So I was texting a mutual juicy.
• 19:19
  His mom, she's like, is juicy going to Carowinds?
• 19:21
  And she was like, if he gets stuck in that claw machine, I'm not coming to get him or something like that.
• 19:25
  And I was like, they deserve it.
• 19:26
  If they get suck in.
• 19:27
  Well, they, so I don't know all the details, so, yeah.
• 19:29
  Well, so I don't either.
• 19:30
  They, I, I'm sure that wasn't insensitive about No.
• 19:34
  Yeah.
• 19:34
  So was the kid okay?
• 19:35
  Yeah, he's the, they had like, they had a picture of him, like on the news thing.
• 19:39
  Okay.
• 19:40
  And like he was sitting there with like looking miserable.
• 19:42
  It had to be hot, nothing.
• 19:43
  I mean, that's Jackson's age and it had to be hot and he had to feel stupid.
• 19:48
  And his friends left him, I'm sure.
• 19:50
  Like I'm not getting in trouble.
• 19:52
  Did so, but did you see that now because of that incident?
• 19:55
  Yeah.
• 19:55
  I think that was like the straw that broke the camels back.
• 19:58
  Yeah.
• 19:58
  Now they have to have a chaperone if they're 15 and under.
• 20:02
  That's after four.
• 20:03
  After four.
• 20:04
  Yeah.
• 20:04
  Yeah, I did see that.
• 20:05
  So Dylan is like beyond mad.
• 20:07
  Yeah.
• 20:08
  Yeah.
• 20:08
  It's crazy.
• 20:10
  Yeah.
• 20:10
  And well, and I understand the point, like I really get it.
• 20:13
  It's like some kids are just bad.
• 20:15
  Yeah.
• 20:15
  And mischievous and cause a lot of trouble.
• 20:17
  But I just hate, I don't, I don't mind honestly going and hanging out and whatever.
• 20:22
  I'll get some sun on my legs sitting down, whatever.
• 20:25
  Cause I don't wanna ride all the rides anymore, but, It's kind of a money grab too, do you think?
• 20:30
  Yeah, I thought so.
• 20:31
  I mean, but you know, they did say that over the last couple years, the youth that go there that are not supervised mm-hmm.
• 20:38
  Or whatever, um, are horrible.
• 20:41
  And like I can see that because they're horrible when we are around.
• 20:45
  But, but my thing is, is like those kids that are horrible, like that are normally horrible if their parents are there or not.
• 20:51
  Right?
• 20:52
  So, I guess like the, you know, the good kids are getting the same, same as always.
• 20:58
  Yeah.
• 20:59
  You got that one kid in the line that's talking, so the whole team can't have recess or whatever.
• 21:04
  Yeah, yeah.
• 21:05
  I know.
• 21:05
  I did see that though.
• 21:06
  I mean, I was like, so one part of me was like this kid, like what?
• 21:10
  In the world.
• 21:11
  Like he could be our done crime version.
• 21:14
  Right, right.
• 21:15
  He trying the steel and got stuck in the claw machine.
• 21:18
  But the other side of me was like, he, his friends probably dared him to do it and like was like messing with him.
• 21:24
  I wonder, um, how long he was in there.
• 21:27
  Do we know?
• 21:27
  It did, I didn't see it on the news.
• 21:28
  Like on the little news and the news.
• 21:30
  I don't watch the news.
• 21:31
  It was on Facebook.
• 21:32
  Yeah.
• 21:32
  I meant to, I meant to look into it more cuz I was like, it's just, it's probably somebody I know.
• 21:38
  I didn't know him.
• 21:39
  Oh, okay.
• 21:39
  Thank God.
• 21:40
  Didn't know the kid, but yeah, I was like, you know, so one part of me, he was like, what an idiot.
• 21:44
  And the other part of me was like, he was probably a dare.
• 21:47
  And he was like not turning down the dare.
• 21:49
  So are we proud of him for being brave?
• 21:52
  I, I'm like, torn.
• 21:53
  Like I, I mean, I would've killed Dylan if it, you don't know if we should admire his gumption.
• 21:59
  Yes.
• 21:59
  Or like be disappointed in his stupidity.
• 22:01
  Yes.
• 22:02
  Because, yeah.
• 22:03
  Yeah.
• 22:04
  I can go either way.
• 22:04
  Yeah.
• 22:05
  So let's leave.
• 22:06
  That's a good segment into our dump crime.
• 22:07
  Yeah.
• 22:08
  Virginia this week?
• 22:09
  Yeah, I have a couple, they're not long stories, but I couldn't decide between two.
• 22:13
  Well, I had two that were related to each other, do you wanna go first?
• 22:16
  Sure.
• 22:16
  Okay.
• 22:17
  So like I said, these are just pretty short.
• 22:19
  So after William Anderson applied for welfare at the Department of Social Services in Jonesville, Virginia, a local sheriff noticed something a little odd.
• 22:28
  Mainly he was driving an H two humer.
• 22:31
  The alert, the sheriff what, sorry?
• 22:33
  The alert sheriff ran the plates and it was stolen.
• 22:38
  So he drove it into a government office applying for needs and driving a stolen vehicle.
• 22:47
  What is it with these dumb crooks and vehicles are running outta gas.
• 22:49
  Yeah.
• 22:50
  Or, or stealing that multiple times.
• 22:52
  Wow.
• 22:53
  Yeah.
• 22:54
  That was, that was bad.
• 22:55
  So, oh, so many questions.
• 23:00
  I think this segment should be called.
• 23:02
  So Many questions.
• 23:03
  So many questions.
• 23:03
  More questions than answers.
• 23:05
  Yeah.
• 23:05
  Yeah.
• 23:06
  So I don't know what that was about, but I just thought it was like, but this one is even better.
• 23:11
  Okay.
• 23:11
  This ones better.
• 23:12
  Okay.
• 23:13
  You've got to give a.
• 23:15
  Duane from Virginia some credit.
• 23:18
  When he robbed a seven 11, he took every precaution, including wearing a ski mask and renting a car for his getaway.
• 23:26
  The only minor flaw in his plan was that he forgot to change his clothes.
• 23:30
  So he had on his work uniform that had his name and his.
• 23:34
  Workplace listed on his chest.
• 23:37
  So it said cedar, woods's apartment, Dwayne.
• 23:39
  So he was pretty easy to catch.
• 23:42
  So dumb, so dumb, so dumb.
• 23:46
  I just think that's like even renting the car.
• 23:48
  Like they'll, like, they're, they're gonna trace the car back to you.
• 23:50
  You rented it.
• 23:52
  I'm Dwayne.
• 23:53
  I work at Cedar Apartments.
• 23:55
  I know he's not as dumb as a guy given the real name on the job application before he robbed the place.
• 23:59
  That's crazy.
• 23:59
  Yes.
• 24:00
  That's crazy too.
• 24:01
  So yeah, those are two short small ones, but they were just like, okay, idiots.
• 24:06
  Well, I got this from newser.com and this says when Dominic Antonio s Esco posted his latest bank transaction to Instagram in May, 2015.
• 24:16
  He had some sort of logic on his side, just not the kind that holds up in court.
• 24:19
  Earlier in the week, he walked into a Virginia Beach bank and handed the teller a note reading.
• 24:23
  I need 150,000 bonds right now.
• 24:26
  Please, please take three to four minutes to get here.
• 24:29
  I would appreciate if you ring the alarm a minute after I'm gone.
• 24:32
  Make sure the money doesn't blow up on my way out.
• 24:35
  Winky face emoji, and he, he drew that out on the piece of paper.
• 24:40
  Oh my gosh.
• 24:42
  A teller complied and he was soon on his way with$150,000 in hand and a video of the whole event.
• 24:49
  He later posted two videos of the interaction to Instagram as well as a photo of his note, his argument to the police.
• 24:56
  He was polite.
• 24:57
  He, he used his manners to ask for the money, and the teller could have said no at any time.
• 25:04
  She didn't as he reported, as he re reported to a local news station before asking to give shout outs to Michelle Obama, Justin Bieber, and Lady God.
• 25:15
  I videotaped it.
• 25:17
  It was if it was a robbery, I don't think I would videotape it post the picture of the letter and do all that just to come to jail.
• 25:26
  Something tells me this is the kind of guy who might just choose to represent himself in court.
• 25:32
  Yeah.
• 25:32
  Yeah.
• 25:34
  So the one that kind of relates to this is uhhuh.
• 25:38
  Um, he hadn't, he was onto something there using his manners.
• 25:42
  Mm-hmm.
• 25:42
  Another Virginia Beach bank robber wasn't so polite as he was on his way out the door.
• 25:47
  Stolen loot in hand.
• 25:48
  He decided to stuff it down his pants instead, as he ran the dye pack exploded.
• 25:54
  Oh my gosh.
• 25:56
  An agitated state.
• 26:00
  The dye pack had been put in the in with the money and was exploded with a remote, allowing police to later identify the stolen money.
• 26:08
  According to the police spokesperson, he was seen hopping and jumping around with an explosion taking place inside of his pants, an explosion in his pants.
• 26:19
  But, well, you know what the first guy said, don't gimme exploding money.
• 26:22
  This guy needed to, you know, be a little more direct with that.
• 26:26
  He was agitated.
• 26:27
  Yeah.
• 26:27
  And it says you have to wonder if only he had asked for his money politely and perhaps, perhaps he is the winky face.
• 26:33
  Maybe things might have turned out different.
• 26:36
  He, maybe he could have been walking around with no explosion in his pants.
• 26:44
  Why?
• 26:44
  Again, so many questions.
• 26:47
  Yeah.
• 26:48
  Okay.
• 26:48
  First of all, first guy, I'm proud of him, and I'm sure his mom is proud.
• 26:53
  Right?
• 26:54
  Right.
• 26:55
  But come on, I, I don't even, I So, as the teller, right, what would you, I guess, like she didn't, I don't know, like what would you do?
• 27:09
  I mean, you have to hand it over.
• 27:10
  I'm gonna tell you to hand it over so nobody Right.
• 27:11
  Don't argue with it.
• 27:12
  Right.
• 27:13
  Um, would you not have put the explosion pack in there?
• 27:16
  I don't.
• 27:17
  I feel like if I was a teller in most of these situations, we've covered, if I was the employee involved, I would laugh.
• 27:26
  Like, I feel like I would see this winky face drawn out and just, yeah.
• 27:32
  And just, I just start winking back.
• 27:34
  Yeah.
• 27:35
  But I dunno, it just feels so.
• 27:39
  Like comical.
• 27:40
  Yeah.
• 27:40
  I mean, you, you probably panic in the moment, right?
• 27:43
  You, you're thinking you're gonna get hurt, but you see like the one guy who, who wrote the note out, like, gimme your money and you won't get hurt kind of thing.
• 27:50
  Yeah.
• 27:50

  They were telling me that this week.
• 28:10
  They're like, I heard you say da, da da da.
• 28:12

  You listen.
• 28:13
  Well, we gotta be careful.
• 28:15
  Yeah.
• 28:17
  We'll keep that clean rating.
• 28:18
  Yeah.
• 28:19
  So, um, Dylan, I.
• 28:22
  Um, drove, uh, I picked him and, and Jonas up from the, um, playoff lacrosse game.
• 28:28
  Yeah, yeah.
• 28:28
  Um, they went to go watch the varsity played, and so they're talking and I'm like, look.
• 28:34
  I'm like, what are you guys talking about?
• 28:35
  And so I guess there was, there's an after prom party.
• 28:39
  That they were talking about.
• 28:40
  And Dylan's like, mom, can I go?
• 28:41
  And I was like, no, you may not go.
• 28:43
  Mm-hmm.
• 28:44
  And Jonas is like, oh, it's okay.
• 28:45
  I'll be there.
• 28:46
  I can, I, you know, safety and numbers.
• 28:49
  And I'm like, I know y'all.
• 28:53
  There ain't no safety.
• 28:54
  Um, so Jonas is two years older than Jackson.
• 28:56
  Mm-hmm.
• 28:57
  Um, So a few years ago, Jackson was probably 11 and Jonas 13, like something like that.
• 29:03
  Like Jackson wasn't, was still very much a kid.
• 29:06
  Like he's still, you know what I mean?
• 29:07
  Jonas, and he's mature and started to get into girls at that point.
• 29:11
  So Jackson's been, and Monty was at Jonas's house, so Jackson and.
• 29:15
  Monty were Ed Jonas's and there was apparently a teen party at the pool, like teen night or whatever at the community that they lived in, and they were taking Jackson.
• 29:26
  And I was like, mom babies, come on to the teen thing.
• 29:30
  And he didn't.
• 29:31
  He was like, yeah, we just played bike football in the pool.
• 29:33
  Yeah.
• 29:33
  Like he was not, I still don't know how he would react in that kind of situation, but it was, yeah, it was funny to me like.
• 29:39
  Yeah.
• 29:40
  Yeah.
• 29:41
  I was like, um, I know what happens at those parties.
• 29:44

  Like, I was gonna say, Instagram or Snapchat or whatever.
• 29:57
  Yeah.
• 29:57
  Right.
• 29:58
  Um, but I was like, uh, no, no.
• 30:01
  So then I messaged like one of my friends from high school and I'm like, oh my God, Dylan just asked me to go to a after pom party.
• 30:07
  And she was like, uh, no.
• 30:09
  She said the same thing.
• 30:10
  She's like, uh, just think about when we were 15, right?
• 30:11
  And I was like, yeah, no, no.
• 30:13
  Mm-hmm.
• 30:13
  No.
• 30:14
  Especially cause all those older kids are gonna be there too.
• 30:16
  Yeah.
• 30:17
  I mean, I went to'em when I was, We're not gonna go there.
• 30:20
  S kids, kids, kids listen.
• 30:24
  Right, right.
• 30:25
  So anyway, we'll do West Virginia next time.
• 30:27
  Okay.
• 30:27
  Is that okay?
• 30:28
  That's perfect.
• 30:29
  Okay.
• 30:30
  And we're, we're, we're getting up a little bit and then I think we can swing back down and do some more.
• 30:33
  Florida.
• 30:34
  Oh, from Florida.
• 30:35
  There's some doozies.
• 30:36
  Yeah.
• 30:36
  Did you see the al I know you love alligators.

  So there was a video that, like in just recently in Florida, that this alligator like busted through this metal fence, like with like, no, I didn't see it, dude.
• 30:48
  Like, he like, just like went right, plowed through and then like his leg got stuck and this man, like li like, and I was like, there's no way I would touch his alligator.
• 30:57
  I wast gonna be the whole time you were, he like, like lifted him up and like kind of like squished him through.
• 31:01
  So he got through the fence and I was like, oh heck no.
• 31:05
  I have to look that up too.
• 31:06
  I didn't see that.
• 31:07
  I freaked out having to pick a turtle out of the, and they like retracted and none of their, it freaked me out when it was like inside.
• 31:14
  I dropped them back into the pool.
• 31:18
  They're marine biologist at heart for sure.
• 31:21
  That's, that's a reptile.
• 31:23
  Oh, totally different.

  You're right.
• 31:26
  My bad.

• 31:28
  I think so.
• 31:29
