0:26
It was um, it was so stupid.
0:29
Crowded.

I mean it was the week of the fourth it and at the beach like it And you went to Myrtle.
0:35

0:38
I'm never going to that beach again at that week.
0:40
And we have to go that week if we're gonna take a week vacation and summer.
0:44
'cause that's when instead week for football.
0:46
So, um, we had a good time.
0:48
Chilling, relaxing, maxing all cool while I was like, where do I know that from?
0:55
yeah, so it was a good time.
0:56
The beach was so packed.
0:58
It was just stupid and I don't like people I'm okay.
1:04
And then, you know, we had a couple that were like y'all are gonna have to move and we're like my sister was like Oh, oh, sweetie Well, you know they do the thing where you rent the umbrellas in the chairs well we were sitting like right behind one and again like shoulder to shoulder and we had been out there since like 8 30 that morning because we knew it was going to be crowded So we've got a spot and we were not the only ones out there at that time and at like 11 30 they came walking up and she was like y'all are gonna have to scoot back and Okay, what what so, you know, it was people just Two people.
1:42
I would have a lot to say yeah, well we Luckily, it did not.
1:48
Go past that.
1:48
Yeah.
1:49
Yeah.
1:49
It was a good time like I said just already feels like a long time ago.
1:52
Yeah need another vacation.
1:54
Well, usually you need a vacation from your vacation.
1:57
Luckily it's easier now with Jackson being old.
2:00
Um, he's old with him being older.
2:04
the only downside now is he, they need to ride everywhere.
2:07
but, you know, when they're like three and four and you're on vacation, they're not relaxing.
2:11
You are chasing them and playing, which is great and it's sweet, but it's not relaxing.
2:17
Yeah.
2:17
At least now it's a different pace, different stage.
2:19
Yeah.
2:20
now that he's old.
2:22
You're lucky if you see him.
2:24
Yeah.
2:25
Yeah, well, when we went on a cruise, over spring break, we like kind of mandated that they have dinner with us.
2:32
Like, it's okay if we don't see the rest, but we just, let's have a dinner together and check in together.
2:36
Yeah.
2:36
And they were actually fine with that.
2:37
Yeah.
2:38
so, yeah.
2:38
But it was a good time.
2:39
Good.
2:39
Did you, uh, go to the church?
2:41
No.
2:42
No.
2:43
When you're on a week vacation the first day you're like we have got all week here and the second day it's like It's only tuesday or you know, whatever and then it's like thursday friday like it's gone I had a lot of things I wanted to do.
2:56
It just didn't ever work out Well, there was a update that was released on the mica case.
3:02
so The feds are officially investigating for murder or for foul play.
3:08
Oh, so they just announced that they did open up actual full like legit investigation.
3:15
Not just our tick tock investigation.
3:17
Okay.
3:18
Well, I.
3:19
I think I tagged you or sent you something when I was there, that JP was there.
3:23
they were having a protest, and he was there coming outside, and I was like, I didn't know where it was, and it was just too much energy to dig into all of that.
3:31
He's such trash.
3:33
Oh my gosh, and then they, it was so funny, because in the protest, the video, you know, they're like streaming live or whatever, They I guess turn the sprinklers on to try to run the people off and they're like this feels good It's a hundred degrees outside.
3:44
Thank you.
3:45
It's like, you know, some people are just not really smart.
3:48
anywho, I like to just sit on the beach and chill.
3:51
Yes, absolutely.
3:52
Yeah, absolutely.
3:53
I did not read our book there because I did not want to read The Tattooist of Auschwitz while I was on my vacation.
4:00
I know that's a very terrible thing for me to say, but it's the truth.
4:06
Did you, you finished it?
4:07
I did.
4:07
Yeah.
4:08
And I was pleasantly surprised.
4:09
I had put off, reading it because, I don't tend to read true stories.
4:15
it's usually not my jam.
4:17
especially with that topic and knowing that I know all these horrible things have happened.
4:21
Like, you know, I know history, but, I read to escape reality.
4:26
You know what I mean?
4:27
Like, and that was something that is horrible.
4:30
Right.
4:31
Piece of history.
4:32
yeah.
4:32
But I was really pleasantly surprised by the book.
4:35
Mm-Hmm.
4:35
I, I mean like, if you could possibly make a horrible thing like have pleasant to read.
4:41
Right, right.
4:41
they did it right.
4:43
so do you have our blurb?
4:44
So we read the Tattooist of Auschwitz and it was by heather Morris.
4:48
Mm-Hmm.
4:49
and forgive me when I mispronounce everything because I, listening, I'm so glad listening to it.
4:54
I hope that the pronunciations were right on the names because that's what we're going there.
4:58
All right.
4:59
In April, 1942, lolly A Slovakian Jew is forcibly transported to the concentration camps at Auschwitz.
5:06
Thank you.
5:06
Kinal.
5:08
When his captors discovered that he can speak several languages, he is put to work as a tattooist, tasked with permanently marking his fellow prisoners imprisoned for over two and a half years.
5:18
Lolly witnessed horrific atrocities and barbarianism, but also incredible acts of bravery and compassion.
5:26
Risking his own life, he uses his privileged position to exchange jewels and money from murdered Jews for food to keep his fellow prisoners alive.
5:35
One day in July 1942, Lolly, prisoner 32407, comforts A trembling young woman waiting in line to have the number 34902 tattooed onto her arm.
5:47
Her name is Geeta, and in that first encounter, Lali vows to somehow survive the camp and marry her.
5:53
A vivid, harrowing, and ultimately hopeful recreation of Lali's experience as the man who tattooed the arms of thousands of prisoners with what would become one of the most potent symbols of the Holocaust.
6:04
The tattooist of Auschwitz is also a testament to the endurance of love and humanity under the darkest possible conditions.
6:13
So somehow when I was reading this book, I forgot that it was true.
6:19
I mean, like, I, you know, I knew the holocaust and all that, like, I know that is true, but I forgot that this was based on true events and he was a real person until at the end when it circles back and then.
6:31
In retrospect, thinking back over all the things blown away.
6:37
Yeah.
6:37
I do like this kind of a book.
6:39
Like I'm okay with this.
6:40
I have to be in a certain mindset.
6:42
Yeah.
6:43
To read it.
6:43
But it is fascinating.
6:46
Unfortunately it really is.
6:49
And it's one of those things where, you know, you've heard about people trying to say that it didn't happen and all that kind of stuff.
6:54
So I think it's good to read stuff like this.
6:56
100 percent agree.
6:57
It was a powerful book.
6:58
Yes.
6:59
I was not expecting the ending.
7:00
No.
7:01
at all.
7:02
No, what are the chances that he's just riding the carriage down the street and bam.
7:07
Yeah.
7:07
Yeah.
7:09
He sees the love of his life.
7:10
Yeah.
7:10
Spoilers.
7:12
Well, we've been doing spoilers.
7:13
Yeah.
7:14
Spoilers.
7:15
Good point.
7:16
Good point.
7:16
Good point.
7:16
So, yeah, for him to.
7:18
First of all, for them both to have survived.
7:21
And escaped the way that they did.
7:23
I mean, like, I mean really they did escape.
7:25
Yeah, yeah.
7:26
For them to have both survived, not been killed, or died of starvation, or of some other terrible infliction that they received.
7:33
For them to survive, and for him to find her.
7:37
Swoon.
7:37
Yeah, I was like, Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, absolutely.
7:42
so I did like that.
7:43
They wrapped it up that way.
7:45
Were you surprised he went back to jail?
7:48
Yes and no.
7:50
Yes and no.
7:51
I mean, in the moment, yes.
7:53
But then after like, I read through that part, I was like, Oh, well, yeah.
7:56
What'd you think?
7:57
I laughed.
7:58
yeah, because it was so fitting.
8:00
Yeah.
8:00
And they weren't doing anything.
8:02
Right.
8:02
To benefit themselves.
8:04
right.
8:04
He went to jail for basically helping others.
8:07
Yeah.
8:07
yeah.
8:08
And so that was not surprising at all.
8:10
The reasoning I just like he has been through enough people like let the man live.
8:13
Right.
8:14
Right.
8:14
He's he's earned the right to just do whatever he wants to do.
8:17
Yeah.
8:18
when they were doing the last chapter, whatever the recap, um, he had said that he was very nervous about, retelling this because he didn't want to be viewed as a Nazi, collaborator, right?
8:28
And that's heartbreaking, to worry about that because he was forced to do these things.
8:34
So not only does he have.
8:37
the horrible experience that he had.
8:38
And then he also has the worrying and the guilt, like survivor's guilt.
8:42
Yeah.
8:43
And I think through this whole story, I mean, he even hits on it and basically his thought processes, I have to do this to stay alive, but while I have this privilege, I'm going to use it to help other people.
8:57
So, and that's when he would take the, the jewels and trade that for food, or I think medicine at one point.
9:03
And he helped other people so I think he really, I feel like he almost exhausted himself trying to compensate for the fact that he was forced into this role.
9:13
Yeah.
9:14
I felt like he was never idle.
9:15
Just like, let me just go through this day and then, and then tomorrow I'll just do this.
9:20
I thought he was always.
9:23
Always trying to do something to help everybody else, right?
9:27
Um, I loved the fact that he had made so many connections, like he had touched so many people's lives within that camp.
9:36
And even when they placed all the gypsies of him, how he like really connected with all of them.
9:45
And, um, he was, he's just, it's like so genuine.
9:49
Yeah.
9:49
Again, like horrible, horrible circumstances, but the pure heartedness of this man, other than like, he's a bit of a womanizer, like, I was like, Lolly, come on, Lolly was really putting it on.
10:06
He was, he was really putting it on.
10:07
Um, well, and what, what also?
10:10
Grabbed me is just that like humans are going to human no matter where they are and so they're in this terrible concentration camp But they're still got their little clicks and they still got there Did you hear about so and so like people were rooting for them to be together?
10:25
Like everybody knew they were a thing like there was still like I said the little groups of people this that and the other so That was fascinating.
10:34
Yeah and he even had, a positive impact on the Russian, soldier dude that was in charge of him, like, he said that he thought of him as a brother, a brother that he could kill at any time, but, um, I mean, they did, form, not a friendship, but a coexistence.
10:51
Yeah.
10:52
And even though a respect for each other, um, respect might be the wrong word, but like coexistence might be the best.
10:59
I don't know, but definitely some kind of trauma bonding.
11:03
The other thing that really jumped out to me is, and again, we know that this is a horrible, horrible thing, but I cannot imagine living In these situations where you could just get shot for just being in the wrong place at the like literally people were just sitting down and just shot as somebody's walking by going to the bathroom, right?
11:22
Yeah, like crazy.
11:24
I think what surprised me about them surviving was not only one of them, but both of them.
11:29
Was that the chances of them dying with it, it was just a crazy twist of fate.
11:35
Yeah.
11:37
I loved that he talked so much about his mom and like his relationship with his mom.
11:41
And that's the reason why he is so caring or, um, so in tune with, emotions and relationships, uh, which I think got him to survive this whole thing.
11:52
It definitely taught him how to, that's, that's a good point.
11:55
It definitely taught him how to, communicate, which a lot of people aren't great at.
12:00
Obviously I'm not right now, Words are not my thing.
12:06
Tripping over my words since we turned the record on.
12:09
So it's all good.
12:10
Um, but yeah, I think it really, helped him to be able to communicate with people and Be intuitive.
12:18
I think to their reactions and their feelings.
12:20
I mean, I think if he had taken on like the dad's personality or the dad's emotion.
12:25
he may have gotten shot and killed and yeah, he knew how to, to work it.
12:30
Yeah.
12:31
the only other note that I had written down, was Leon, the American soldier.
12:35
I hated the role that they put him in.
12:38
Oh, remind me of what they made him do.
12:39
He, he had to beat up the prisoners for it.
12:41
Oh yeah.
12:42
And he told them he would take it easy.
12:44
Yeah.
12:44
I hated that he was in that role.
12:46
I hated that.
12:47
That's how they, Got connected again.
12:49
Um, I do again, reason for survival.
12:52
He, you know, showed compassion for this man when he got to the camp and, he got his butt kicked, but it could have been so much worse.
13:01
And I do a hundred percent believe that that is the reason he got through everything.
13:06
His ability to be compassionate.
13:07
It was just, it was heavy.
13:09
It was very heavy, but there were some like funny parts in it.
13:13
There were some, there were some funny parts it was easy to, to follow the story., yeah, I keep saying it, but I was so, I'm not scared, like apprehensive to read it.
13:24
Um, but pleasantly surprised.
13:26
I was scared.
13:27
I really didn't know what I was getting us into.
13:28
Yeah.
13:30
So what would you rate it?
13:31
Oh, I would give it honestly, like a nine.
13:36
Okay.
13:36
I had eight and a half.
13:37
You were thinking half.
13:38
Mm-Hmm.
13:38
Um, and the only reason, because again, not my normal type of book I would read and I don't read for heaviness.
13:45
I read for escapism.
13:47
Yeah.
13:47
Um, or I should say, listen, I never read anymore.
13:50
Same thing.
13:51
But so that would be the only reason is it's just like, not my jam.
13:54
Jam.
13:55
Yeah.
13:55
But.
13:56
Yeah, for what it was.
13:57
I mean, I was in it.
14:00
Right.
14:00
I would recommend it to somebody and we're recommending it to you guys.
14:04
Um, I would recommend it.
14:05
I would, I probably would never read it again.
14:07
No.
14:08
but I think it was.
14:10
I feel better for listening to it.
14:12
I'm not better like emotionally, but I feel a little more, yeah.
14:16
A little more educated about, about some things and yeah.
14:19
Understanding and heartbroken.
14:22
Yeah.
14:22
But, um, but yeah, I would definitely recommend it.
14:24
Next week's book is called, none of this is true by Lisa Jewel.
14:29
I think I already listened to it.
14:30
I think so too.
14:30
I'm gonna have to re listen.
14:31
Yeah.
14:32
Because it's been a minute since we met.
14:34
Did you see that Gypsy Rose Blanchard is pregnant?
14:38
Your face right now.
14:40
What are your feelings on her?
14:41
Cause I have a lot of feelings on her.
14:43
You're supposed to murder her.
14:44
I have a lot of feelings.
14:45
Do you have big feelings?
14:46
I mean, she killed a mom.
14:49
And she brainwashed the dude to be her co conspirator.
14:54
And then they set it up.
14:56
They lied about it.
14:57
I don't see how she got out to be honest with you.
14:59
Okay.
15:00
So I don't like her obviously.
15:01
Yeah.
15:02
I don't understand the glamorization of Gypsy Rose.
15:05
Like I don't get it.
15:06
Yeah.
15:07
again, like you said, manipulated the dude to kill her mom.
15:11
I personally, like, think she participated, like, was fully, like, in it.
15:15
Yeah.
15:16
Did, yeah, a good portion of it.
15:18
Well, and they covered it up.
15:19
Yeah.
15:20
And they did all the, like, social media posts and all that.
15:22
So, I mean, it's not like it was a moment of passion.
15:26
Right.
15:26
Whatever.
15:27
Yeah.
15:27
No.
15:28
But then the manipulation continues with the men, the husband, the ex fiancé, the now fiancé, who I think is trying to like dip out because he's like, I don't want to have a kid with this lady.
15:39
You should.
15:40
It's good social media.
15:41
Like, it's like good, like drama.
15:43
Right.
15:44
But why was that real life?
15:46
And, and, you know, she was going to all these events and hanging out with the Kardashians or whomever, like, right.
15:52
Like, why?
15:53
Like, why?
15:54
I wouldn't go to the other side of the street if I saw that lady.
15:57
Right.
15:58
Because she might set you up next.
15:59
She can do that to her mom.
16:01
No.
16:01
Right.
16:02
No, thank you.
16:03
No.
16:04
I meant that she's trying to get her pregnancy sponsored by companies.
16:07
Like, who does that?
16:08
That is.
16:08
She thinks she is.
16:09
Like that, that, like, that companies are gonna be jumping up.
16:12
Like, let me get on the murder train.
16:14
They already are.
16:15
I don't know.
16:16
The last thing I saw was, like, she was having a hard time getting.
16:18
Okay, good.
16:19
People to jump on that.
16:21
Well, I really can't I mean, I don't know people these days are so crazy I was gonna say I really can't see like if Pampers for example Decided to sponsor her a lot of people would continue to sponsor Pampers But some people would be like I love it.
16:34
Let's go Gypsy Rose.
16:36
I don't know.
16:37
It's crazy Well, did you see that her current?
16:41
Fiancee, boyfriend, whatever, baby daddy.
16:43
Supposedly baby daddy because like the timeline is a little bit skewed.
16:46
Um, Just saying.
16:49
a dude came out and said that that was his boyfriend.
16:53
Oh, geez.
16:54
And.
16:55
Oh, geez.
16:56
There's a whole nother like side drama.
16:59
Oh, dear.
17:00
Going on, on that side of This whole situation.
17:03
Shows me.
17:03
Man, they're simple.
17:07
And by simple you mean stupid.
17:10
have you seen all these, things on social media?
17:12
And it's like every single girl sitting in bed staring at the ceiling, trying to figure out how gypsy rose.
17:18
No, but that's kind of where I'm going.
17:22
How?
17:24
Ugh.
17:24
And why?
17:25
I just don't get it.
17:26
I don't understand the whole glamorization.
17:28
Are the men, like, attention whores too?
17:30
I'm sure it was for some of that.
17:32
I'm sure.
17:32
But then you also have all these serial killers that have, these, like, fan clubs.
17:36
And so, I guess it goes both ways.
17:38
Yes.
17:39
I don't know.
17:39
I don't like her.
17:40
I don't like her either on other celeb news though, you saw Brenda from 90210 passed away.
17:46
Shannon Doherty.
17:47
Mm hmm.
17:48
Sorry Richard Simmons I know I had to pull up a video and show Jackson who he was so Brian and I went down this rabbit hole this morning talking about 90210, and then Melrose Place, and then we jumped to Saved by the Bell, and then Saved by the Bell the college years.
18:04
We had a great intellectual conversation this morning talking about all those shows.
18:08
So what was Brian's take on all these shows?
18:10
Well, Saved by the Bell was amazing.
18:12
That was the best.
18:13
College Years has nothing close to it.
18:15
Still can't believe Jesse Spano was in the movie Showgirls.
18:18
That's what he said.
18:20
Which I'm sure is his teenage self watched it about a thousand times.
18:24
Screech and Hizza side movie.
18:26
Oh yeah, yeah.
18:28
Which, you know, he passed away.
18:29
From lung cancer.
18:31
I thought it was something else, but it was just a really quick lung cancer thing.
18:36
Um, oh my gosh, did you see the meme though?
18:38
It said Brenda and Dylan are together again.
18:40
Oh, I did not see that.
18:42
Terrible.
18:43
Terrible, terrible.
18:44
but anyway, Brian watched 90210, but he did not watch Melrose Place.
18:49
I wasn't a Melrose fan.
18:51
I think I tried to watch it.
18:52
I felt like I was maybe too young for that.
18:53
Like, I was like, these are old people.
18:56
I want to take me back to the peach pit.
19:00
But that was, that was sad.
19:01
I know she'd been battling breast cancer for a long time.
19:03
So that was sad to read.
19:05
she had.
19:06
Spill a lot of tea on her podcast.
19:08
I didn't know she had a podcast.
19:10
I follow on Instagram, but for some reason she hadn't been in my feet a lot.
19:14
What's her podcast about?
19:15
Um, well, I only listened to a couple episodes.
19:18
Um, and really not even, I saw like clips or listened to clips of it.
19:21
so I probably should go listen now.
19:23
I mean, that's, I shouldn't have waited, but.
19:25
No, I want to go back and listen.
19:27
Yeah, but it was basically just telling her side of the story because everybody made her out to be such a horrible Which co worker totally and it was like just really her side.
19:35
Okay of everything of everything And then she had a lot of her co people could work or whatever you want to call them To validate that she was saying that okay stuff that was in the news was not accurate.
19:47
Okay, but Well, that's good to know because I did have kind of like a mental picture of her as just being the evil one.
19:54
And that's what they've portrayed her as for years.
19:57
Did you watch Charmed?
19:58
I did.
19:59
I didn't watch that one.
20:00
I watched it, um, for the first like two seasons.
20:03
Okay.
20:03
And then she got kicked off.
20:05
Alyssa Milano was in that one too, right?
20:07
Is she sick as well?
20:09
I don't know.
20:10
Not that I know of.
20:10
I know that she was like under fire on social media last year for, a GoFundMe post, for her, like she had.
20:17
Taking care of her child's expenses for his travel of all team, but the team itself was doing a GoFundMe, to go to whatever event.
20:24
And she just shared the link on social media and everybody attacked her saying that, she's rich.
20:29
She should take care of the whole team.
20:30
And like, that's not her job.
20:32
No, I haven't seen her in anything recently.
20:35
She's not like working.
20:37
Right.
20:37
Brian's, I thought Kelly Kapowski was gonna be his crush on Saved by the Bell.
20:43
Who was it?
20:44
Lisa! I was like, he was like, she was so pretty.
20:46
I was like, not expected that at all.
20:49
And she is beautiful.
20:50
And she looks, I love that picture, she looks the exact same of course now.
20:53
Like she hasn't aged a minute.
20:54
Well, there's, you know, procedures for that.
20:57
Yes.
20:57
She still looks great.
20:59
We've talked about the procedures.
21:00
We're here for them.
21:02
We are here for the procedures.
21:04
No shade at all.
21:05
I was just surprised it was Lisa.
21:07
Yeah, but she, yeah.
21:09
Would not it was like her name was Lark and I was like, oh, okay.
21:12
I'm looking her up like, oh, okay Yeah, you have her like poster like on the wall.
21:17
Probably I know cindy crawford was his real woman though.
21:21
She was the one he really really liked.
21:23
Do you remember when save by the bell did the The vacation, when they worked at the beach.
21:27
Yes.
21:28
We talked about that and we talked about leah remini Was on those she was so young.
21:34
Yeah Her accent is real.
21:35
Yeah.
21:38
Yeah.
21:38
I remember that though.
21:39
And, he was like, but Lisa didn't work with them.
21:41
I was like, cause she was the rich one.
21:43
He was like, that's right.
21:45
It's like, Oh my gosh, it's so obsessed with her.
21:47
It's like, she was rich cause her dad was a doctor.
21:49
I was like, Oh my God, she's not real.
21:52
It was funny.
21:53
Dang, I did not see that coming.
21:55
Same.
21:56
He was a Lisa fan.
21:57
He surprises us every week.
21:59
Every week.
21:59
There's always a Brian story.
22:01
I feel like we're gonna have to give him his own segment.
22:03
Oh, maybe we need to have him on the pod.
22:06
Brian, you gonna come on?
22:07
I thought he'd be able to understand what he says with his southern mumbling redneck.
22:12
Yeah, I can't translate for him.
22:16
Oh my gosh, that's so funny.
22:17
So, oh, go ahead.
22:20
Trump.
22:21
Oh my gosh, crazy.
22:23
Okay, so did you see, okay, so we're talking about President Trump, assassination, where he, his ear got clipped.
22:29
And horrible, the, bystanders.
22:33
Right 1 past 1 was in critical condition.
22:36
Yeah.
22:36
But somebody, there was an interview with 1 of the people that were there, and they said that they were on the outskirts because they live there.
22:43
And so they just walked up, like, when it started, they weren't there, like, the whole time to get up close and.
22:48
He saw the guy going up on the roof and he alerted the police.
22:50
He alerted them.
22:50
That's what I have heard.
22:52
I screen recorded it.
22:53
Cause I'm like, this is going to get taken down.
22:54
yeah.
22:55
But does that not sound like an inside job?
22:57
Yeah.
22:58
Well, cause Brown was telling me that too.
23:01
And I was like, well, maybe he set the gun up before.
23:04
Cause it was like, how do you think I was like, maybe he did before he's like, no, people saw him with the gun.
23:08
And the secret service were on other rooftops.
23:11
Why aren't they on?
23:13
Like, I don't understand.
23:14
I know.
23:14
I don't either.
23:16
So, and I don't care.
23:18
I mean, I do care who you vote for, but you shouldn't wish people dead.
23:22
Like, that's what gets me, is the people that are, you know.
23:26
But have you seen the memes?
23:27
I mean, the memes started right away with, Trump's face on 50 Cent's body.
23:30
Yes.
23:31
Yes.
23:32
Of course.
23:32
I think Jackson shared that one.
23:34
Whatever.
23:35
I'm very disgusted at the people that are saying you missed, get somebody with better aim next time.
23:40
Like that's just disgusting to me.
23:43
Thank God you did not get shot or he got grazed, you didn't get killed.
23:49
but.
23:50
The whole thing was just bizarre.
23:53
How in this day and age can that happen?
23:55
And he has been requesting additional secret service and has been getting continually denied.
23:59
Really?
24:00
Yes.
24:01
So that makes me think even more inside job.
24:03
Yeah.
24:04
Thank God he wasn't taken out.
24:06
Yeah.
24:07
But condolences to the people who were lost and the people we hope they get better.
24:13
The ones that are in critical condition..
24:15
Yeah.
24:16
So yesterday, first of all, let me just tell you I had a crappy week.
24:20
Oh, I'm sorry.
24:21
It's okay.
24:21
It's okay.
24:22
One of our, we were talking about this earlier.
24:24
One of our good friend, Linda, her husband tragically passed away.
24:27
he was piloting a plane and the plane crashed and we don't know details yet other than he's gone.
24:32
And, Just back and forth with them all week.
24:35
they live about an hour away, so we kind of were tag teaming and spending some time there and, and just doing what we can.
24:39
Like taking some groceries or folding a load of towels or just trying to do something.
24:44
So anyway, that sucked.
24:46
I mean, that's like one of the worst things ever.
24:48
But on top of that, just being exhausted and mentally, you know, just all the things going on.
24:54
Well, by the time Friday rolled around, I was like, okay, I've, I've got to get my life together a little bit.
25:00
Today's the day.
25:01
So they were having a celebration for life at Adam and it was the coolest thing.
25:05
They had like a pub and it was, you know, come if you want to, you know, very casual.
25:11
There was so many people there, but the AC was out.
25:14
There was so many people couldn't keep up.
25:16
So they raised like the, it was like in an old, I get probably like a mill or something.
25:22
So they raised the garage doors and had fans, but it was like 95 degrees.
25:25
It was miserable.
25:27
So before I went, I was like, okay, I'm going to do an online grocery order and I'm going to go to this thing for Adam.
25:33
And spend some time there, and then I'll be able to swing back by and pick the groceries up.
25:37
Well, basically where I ordered the, the groceries from was Walmart, and my house was like almost the middle between where Adam was and the groceries.
25:47
Like, it wasn't a convenient path, but whatever.
25:49
Mm hmm.
25:50
I stayed later than expected with the, with the plumbers, which was cool.
25:54
No problem.
25:56
I called Walmart and I was like, look, I'm not going to get there.
25:58
Something came up.
25:58
They're like, no problem.
25:59
Home for 24 hours.
26:00
I was like, okay, God, thank you.
26:01
So I was house sitting last week for some doggos going over a few times a day, check on them, make sure they had water and, and, you know, feed them, playing with them, loving on them.
26:10
so Saturday morning, I got up Jackson also had a one day basketball tournament.
26:14
I got up really early on Saturday and I was like, all right, I'm going to go ahead and go and take care of the dogs.
26:19
And it's in the neighborhood behind us.
26:20
So I was just going to write the golf cart over there.
26:22
It's not a big, I mean, great.
26:23
My golf cart battery died.
26:26
So I call Brian who has got this big massive truck.
26:31
Right.
26:32
Stopped going up a hill.
26:35
So I tried to put it in neutral and push it.
26:38
That did not work.
26:38
It went downhill.
26:40
backwards.
26:41
So I called Brian.
26:42
I was like, babe, I'm sorry, the battery died.
26:44
And Brian's not good in situations like that.
26:48
He is not like, okay, I'm on my way.
26:50
He wants to know everything right now in that moment.
26:52
Well, when's the last time you charged it?
26:54
And I was like, can we talk about this later?
26:56
Right.
26:57
And then he was like, well, I don't know how we're going to get it home.
26:59
And I was like, babe, can we not pull it with your truck?
27:02
Like just get a tow strap and Oh yeah.
27:05
Whatever.
27:07
So, and this was like nine o'clock Saturday morning.
27:09
So he comes and we strap it up and we get it.
27:12
We're towing it home.
27:12
He's pulling it.
27:14
I'm in the back.
27:15
It's in neutral and in tow and I'm like steering it making sure it goes around the curves Every flipping neighbor was outside they or we passed them on the road So i'm basically doing this PSA going down the street charge your golf carts Ladies and gentlemen charging like every we've only got like four houses on our road and we saw every single neighbor at least once I was like, this is ridiculous.
27:36
Okay, so We get home.
27:38
I go to do the dogs take care of them Came back home, went to Jackson's tournament.
27:44
First game, they played terrible.
27:45
Like I don't even know who those kids were, they sucked.
27:49
They played a second game, their second game was great.
27:50
On the way back, so that was in Concord.
27:54
On the way back, we're gonna go through Walmart, pick up the groceries, and come home.
27:57
Jackson was like, on the way back, can we just please get Dairy Queen?
28:00
Like I just really want Dairy Queen.
28:01
We'll get ice cream, no problem.
28:03
I had some in the Walmart order.
28:04
I was like, I'll be fine with that.
28:05
Like, it doesn't matter.
28:07
Sounds same.
28:08
It's not the same.
28:09
I agree.
28:10
But at that point again, golf cart battery dead, all the things.
28:15
So we get almost like we're literally right in front of like the Bojangles and like Wiley like right near the Walmart right there.
28:23
I get a text that your order has been canceled.
28:25
I was like, what?
28:29
So I tried calling, nobody answered.
28:31
Tried calling again, like no answer.
28:33
Like I tried the, press 4 for app orders or whatever.
28:37
Nothing, press 0, nothing, like nobody ever answered.
28:40
I just started crying.
28:42
I was like, I just can't deal with this right now.
28:47
And we had, you know, of course we had some stuff in the house.
28:50
Like we had some rice and some beanie weenies or something, but like, the hell was like, no water, no, nothing to drink.
28:56
No.
28:57
It was just.
28:58
So I'm just sitting in the car, tears just streaming down my face, and finally I got myself together.
29:04
And there's a new place in downtown Clover right near our house it's called like the Chocolate Company or Chocolate Factory or something.
29:09
Well, they also have ice cream.
29:11
So we, Brian was like, I'm gonna get y'all ice cream.
29:13
Y'all both just need some.
29:16
So we stopped and we got ice cream.
29:17
We got back in the car and Jack was like, And I was like, what he said, I can't believe you cried because of Walmart groceries were canceled.
29:25
I said, but that was just, that was just it.
29:32
I was done.
29:32
Yeah, that was done.
29:33
Yeah.
29:34
Um, And then I was like, I'm going to put myself in timeout and I went and took a nap.
29:38
So it got better after ice cream and a nap.
29:40
But, well, you know, ice cream does tend to fix things.
29:44
It's like medicine.
29:45
I swear.
29:46
What kind of ice cream did you get?
29:47
It was, like a yellow cake batter.
29:51
And it had chocolate chunks in it.
29:52
Oh, so it was like a frost, like a chocolate.
29:56
Yeah.
29:56
Yeah.
29:57
It was so good.
29:57
It was so good.
29:59
Can you eat ice cream?
30:00
I mean, I can, but I can't have any like cake batter.
30:04
So does that have to be dairy free?
30:06
No, it has gluten free.
30:07
Yeah.
30:07
So, um, if it, if it has like cookies or anything that I can't eat it, but like, Mint chocolate chip.
30:12
Oh, that's so good.
30:13
No, I love mint chocolate.
30:14
So we went apparently had an ice cream addiction.
30:17
Do you know what the best ice cream is the Tillamoo?
30:21
It's so good.
30:21
It's gelato, right?
30:23
No, it's not.
30:24
No, it's just like extra creamy.
30:26
Are we talking about the same thing?
30:27
I don't think so.
30:28
Is it like in a little pint?
30:29
I don't know.
30:30
It's like a regular size.
30:31
Oh, no, I'm talking about something.
30:32
Yeah, this is yeah Tell me again what it's called tilamu.
30:35
Well, this whatever it is is good, too.
30:38
Talenti is what I like.
30:41
No, that is really good, too Though like the layered stuff I have some and I hid it in the outside freezer.
30:46
Jackson.
30:47
Don't listen Like this cookies and cream.
30:50
Mm hmm.
30:50
Oh, but you can't have that.
30:52
No, so what you can have like mint chocolate or mint Yeah, like caramel butter pecan Okay, like the mousse tracks.

31:19
They're going to be like, no hashtag ice cream and plastic surgeons.
31:23
You heard it here first, folks.
31:25
yeah, I saw, Perez Hilton.
31:29
Bad blogger.
31:30
He used to be really like, obnoxious and like, yes, now people and just be a real jerk.
31:33
But he has gotten much better.
31:34
He has apologized, he has tried to come around and Yeah.
31:37
And be more positive.
31:38
He had just, made a TikTok saying that Britney Spears and her kids are reconnected in like oh, a genuine way.
31:45
and then she's also reconnected with her brother.
31:48
Good.
31:49
But the brother is now living with her.
31:51
So I was like, is it for like the right reasons?
31:53
I hope.
31:54
a lot of the comments are like, well, she's no longer paying Kevin Federline to the money dry up.
31:58
And now they're like, Hey, mom.
32:00
that's true.
32:01
I hate to that.
32:02
There's like a negative spin to it, but it does after reading everything and they're, Very long.
32:09
Are they already both over 18?
32:10
I think so.
32:12
Geez, that went fast.

the mom had gone to the school, like, countless times.
34:58
Did everything she.
34:59
could do.
35:00
She was a teacher, so it wasn't like she could homeschool.
35:03
Like, there was, she was stuck between a rock and a hard place.
35:05
Yeah.
35:05
I couldn't imagine being in that situation.
35:07
Right.
35:08
now all four of the families are suing the mom, Heather, Aubrey's mom, for slandering the girls with her bullying accusations.
35:17
She never called them out.
35:18
Right.
35:19
I don't understand this.
35:20
I feel like there's no basis for that.
35:22
The DA is one of the four bullies family members.
35:26
Oh, yeah.
35:28
the school, several of the students, there was like seven or eight students that walked out one day as a protest, because of the bullying that happens all the time in that school apparently.
35:38
and then one girl after this happened, voiced her opinion on social media and she got suspended from school for voicing her opinion on the, oh my gosh, the bullying.
35:49
So not only Is the court legal side of it, like disgusting, but the school is trying to silence all the kids as well.
35:58
And they took her photo out of last year's yearbook because they didn't want to glamorize suicide.
36:03
Nothing about this is okay.
36:05
No, this is insanity.
36:09
So the most recent thing was bananas was a Mexican restaurant, whatever they call it a taco restaurant.
36:16
When I was listening to the update, Had a fundraiser for her last week and sold out in three hours Raised lots of money for for the girl for the last fees or okay for the mom Okay for the family's legal fees, I believe is what they said one of these parents of these four girls called up and started threatening the restaurant To shut it down They were going to get the restaurant shut down Who were these parents?
36:42
Pure evil like pure evil.
36:45
Yeah and then I guess there has been reports that the main bully is now running around like oh I'm famous now because of all this excited about it.
36:53
I'm like that is not what you want to be famous for No No, because that's going to stay with them for the rest of their lives.
36:59
So, insane.
37:01
all the mamas on TikTok.
37:02
Yeah.
37:03
Have band together.
37:04
Yeah.
37:05
And said that you shut down Heather's voice.
37:08
So we're posting it.
37:09
You cannot shut us all down.
37:10
Yeah.
37:11
And it has been like, that's all I see.
37:13
Uh, right.
37:13
Even on, other platforms, local people sharing the story too, which is how I saw it was, a couple local moms here were like, she's been silenced, but we're not.
37:23
And then they shared the story.
37:25
that's terrible.
37:26
Yeah, I don't understand how She could be in trouble when she never mentioned them.
37:30
I mean but I guess with them being the D.
37:33
I don't know crazy stuff.
37:34
I know I I feel so bad for this mom So oh, yes to her.
37:39
Yeah, I mean, I yeah I can't I mean you're you lost your child something that you've been battling forever.
37:44
And then now you're just basically getting Destroyed or threatened and yeah silenced all the things.
37:52
so I think she goes back to court on the 18th Regarding the social media part of it.
37:56
Yeah, like what?
37:57
Crappy people like horrible awful.
38:00
you had asked me a few weeks ago if I was keeping up with it Was it Karen Reed?
38:06
You saw that that, update.
38:07
Okay, you go ahead and give the update well, so 4 jurors have come forward, the.
38:12
Judge didn't pull the jury.
38:14
Okay.?
38:14
According to one of the jurors, everybody.
38:18
Except for one person found her not guilty on the vehicular manslaughter, while driving under the influence.
38:25
and that was an ex cop who was stuck on, he thought that the shirt of the man that was killed, had The tail light stuck.
38:37
Yeah.
38:37
Yeah.
38:38
and they asked for the transcripts and the judge denied them getting the transcripts from that part of the trial.
38:43
And so he was like, stuck on guilty, guilty, guilty for that.
38:48
And.
38:50
They were reviewing afterwards, the case and the transcript say that there was no, chain of custody that they stored.
39:00
The taillight and the shirt in the same bag.
39:03
Oh my gosh, and that they could not prove that the taillight was ever connected to the other than they were in the second.
39:09
Other than the, yeah.
39:10
Wow.
39:10
Oh, the dude got it wrong.
39:11
Yeah.
39:12
And they were denied the transcripts and that's why they were hung on the manslaughter charge.
39:20
Oh my goodness.
39:21
Yeah.
39:22
That is insane.
39:23
I was.
39:24
Searching I'm not gonna be able to find it now you might know what I'm talking about.
39:29
Wade Wilson.
39:30
Have you heard about him?
39:31
Oh So he's this he's a bad dude.
39:33
Do you know where he's from me neither?
39:36
he's a bad dude He was on trial for murder And he is covered and I obviously love tattoos like I'm a tattoo person, but he is covered in them Facial tattoos.
39:48
Facial tattoos like that Joker.
39:50
I mean he's y'all probably know him But like we were talking about Gypsy Rose Blanchard like people people are fangirling over him like I don't care He's good looking da da da da.
40:01
He looks soulless to me.
40:02
Yeah.
40:03
No, he does not look good looking married No, I don't know No, he looks I don't find him attractive.
40:08
I don't know.
40:08
But please don't come at us.
40:10
Mr.
40:10
Wilson's Yeah, he did hey there was no emotion when they said his name what then did you see all the backlash that bunny got no, she got backlash though.
40:21
Yeah, a lot.
40:23
Like, no, don't get money.
40:24
I like money so much.
40:26
but you know, all that they went into like, oh, he's hot or whatever.
40:28
And then she's like, I would love to interview him.
40:30
I think it would be fascinating.
40:31
And she did call the jail, to see if it could be set up.
40:35
All the backlash.
40:36
Oh, I hate that.
40:37
I mean, that would be fascinating.
40:39
Yeah.
40:39
I mean, morbid curiosity more than anything.
40:42
Yes.
40:43
but did you see his dad, the interview that his dad gave?
40:47
The, this dude that was on trial for murder that was convicted was adopted.
40:52
His parents were like 13 and 14 when he was born.
40:56
And it was just crazy crazy story look it up.
40:58
There's just a lot going on So if you're interested look it up crazy crazy town Whatever What else did I have here I was like Up, because I couldn't sleep as normal.
41:13
What?
41:14
And I was looking for something to watch and on Peacock, there is a show Okay.
41:20
And I was like, oh my god.
41:21
called, Cruise Ship Killers.
41:24
It's about all the crimes and murders on cruise ships.
41:27
I don't wanna know anything about it.
41:29
'cause I love to cruise.
41:30
I was like, am I gonna dab it?
41:32
Fascinated what?
41:34
It's on peacock.
41:35
Uhhuh.
41:36
Okay.
41:36
And so then like, okay, gimme details.
41:38
Then I went like down a rabbit hole.
41:39
Yeah.
41:39
Like I only watched like the, I think two episodes.
41:41
yeah.
41:41
And I, I fell asleep to burner or there walls.
41:45
That what relaxes us.
41:46
Well, are there a lot I mean, I hear a couple of people overboard, but are there more than and are they overboard?
41:52
Right?
41:53
Okay.
41:53
So, that is what the rabbit hole that I went down is because.
41:58
Maritime law, like, who's jurisdiction?
42:01
So.
42:02
Besides the fact that over 50 percent of the crimes never get reported.
42:06
The ones that do.
42:07
A lot of times aren't investigated because the ball gets dropped.
42:10
Well, like crime scenes not contained.
42:13
Um, who's jurisdiction is it all sorts of reasons that they don't but that's if the cruise line actually reports it because most of the time they don't.
42:23
This lady, the one lady I saw on TikTok on one of his research, and it said that this man came up behind her, pulled her by the hair, beat the crap out of her, and like out of nowhere, it was just like some psycho dude.
42:34
She went and got, security on the cruise.
42:37
The dude got off the boat at the end in Puerto Rico.
42:41
And the Puerto Rico police, said that there was nothing they could do because they were out to see, like, it's not their jurisdiction.
42:46
They have no, they can't do anything.
42:50
That, I mean, I, I can understand how that gets to be a mess because of the, especially the jurisdiction issues.
42:56
Plus a lot of the cruise lines are not registered in the States.
43:00
Right.
43:00
Those are Bahamas or something.
43:01
Yeah.
43:02
So there's that whole other level of like, they don't necessarily do that.
43:07
Do they have to report it to the US?
43:09
Even if it's US.
43:11
Yeah, citizens.
43:12
So, in 2010, I think Obama had passed, a new act and it was called the cruise vessel security act.
43:20
And there's a whole list of things that I think are, have to be reported but, one of the things was only suspicious deaths need to be reported.
43:28
Suspicious.
43:29
Like, so who gets to determine what is suspicious?
43:31
Right.
43:32
What's to me might not be you.
43:34
What am I missing?
43:36
That's crazy.
43:38
Yeah, and that, that would get reported to the FBI would determine like, if they need to investigate.
43:43
But even if, with him passing that, that's a U.
43:46
S.
43:46
law.
43:46
That has nothing to do with something that's homeless elsewhere.
43:51
Yeah, so terrifying.
43:55
So, apparently, like, S.
43:58
A.
43:59
incidents.
44:00
Lots of time.
44:01
I can see that, unfortunately, just because the booze is flowing and you're in close quarters and yeah.
44:09
Um, so all these things are getting undocumented.
44:11
then I got curious to see how many people go overboard a year.
44:13
Yeah.
44:14
And it's, approximately 23 people are reported, every year.
44:19
Do they find a lot of them?
44:20
No, it's like they're just gone.
44:23
Maybe it was like between 15, 20 percent get found.
44:27
that is terrifying to me.
44:29
Well, to stop a cruise ship, it takes like a mile to stop.
44:33
And so there's like, there is, whatever technology that could pinpoint that person.
44:39
Okay.
44:40
Yeah.
44:40
But most of the cruise ships don't have it.
44:42
Oh.
44:43
Yeah.
44:44
And then, Carnival.
44:45
Mm hmm.
44:46
Is the cruise ship that has the most.
44:48
I believe that.
44:50
I believe that.
44:51
Carnival is kind of known for being the party ship.
44:53
Yeah.
44:53
And it's a little less expensive compared to the other ones.
44:56
So yeah.
44:56
Oh, just for an FYI, if anybody, you know, goes overboard.
45:01
The statute of limitations to file a case against the cruise line is one year.
45:07
You have one year to file your lawsuit.
45:10
I've been on several cruises like not like 30 but more than a handful and I've never seen a fight and it might just be, I'm not in the places like right place, right time.
45:22
Kind of.
45:23
I mean, cause I know that kind of stuff happens, but I've never been on a cruise ship where they're like, I hope I'm not jinxing myself where they're like paging people or, and maybe that stuff is just behind the scenes and you don't know it, but I'm never going to, I'm sure.
45:38
There's videos.
45:40
Well, between the alcohol flowing and the alcohol flowing.
45:44
And you know, you've got people walking around half naked, um, naked.
45:49
Love it.
45:50
and not that that's like a reason, but that just kind of, amps things up.
45:55
Yeah.
45:56
People do suck like 100%.
45:58
Yeah.
45:58
But.
45:59
Definitely alcohol inflated.
46:02
Yeah.
46:03
Of personalities that are going to do this anyway.
46:05
And then you add that in.
46:07
Yeah, well, and I mean, it's vacation, you're supposed to be having a good time, but it's also stressful.
46:12
Oh, yeah.
46:13
Well, I'm speaking of people that don't act right.
46:17
You want to do, um, am I the, yes, you told me it's going to be great.
46:20
It's going to be a long one.
46:21
And so I have lots of editing to do to make this under an hour, but no, this is so worth it.
46:28
Like, okay.
46:28
So we're only doing one today because so good.
46:32
There's so many updates.
46:33
Okay.
46:34
And I think there was like six updates and I'm going to put the link in the show notes because you guys got to go back through and read the comments.
46:42
Perfect.
46:42
It is amazing.
46:43
Okay.
46:44
It's 100 percent like beautiful amazingness.
46:47
Okay.
46:49
For some reason, my sister, 23, and her fiance, 25, decided that the very best way to celebrate before getting married was to have joint bachelor bachelorette party at strip clubs.
47:00
Oh, this is going to be great.
47:01
Uh huh.
47:02
They also hired a bus limo for the evening.
47:06
The aftermath was thus far three breakups, four people dropping out of the wedding party, one impending divorce, and one arrest.
47:14
Yes, this is gold.
47:16
The cleaning bill for the limo was more than the rental fee also.
47:20
Oh my gosh.
47:21
She was crying.
47:23
To our mom at dinner the other day, and I snorted.
47:26
I tried not to.
47:28
Honestly, I did.
47:29
I was trying my best to just keep my mouth shut.
47:32
She asked me what was so funny.
47:34
I said I wasn't sure what she expected to happen, getting a group of people drunk, using illicit substances, getting horned up watching exciting dancers.
47:44
She said that I was an a hole for judging her and her friends.
47:47
I said I wasn't judging, just that literally anyone could have seen that outcome.
47:53
My mom told me to apologize because my sister's having to replace most of her wedding party on the fly.
47:59
I did, but I still think I'm right.
48:01
Am I the a hole?
48:02
Edit.
48:03
The maid of honor and her boyfriend did not break up.
48:06
The other bridemaid who is married was in an Eiffel Tower with two of the groomsmen.
48:12
One groomsman has dropped out along with the bridesmaid.
48:15
Her husband has left her because I guess this isn't the first time.
48:19
The other groomsmen In that group, has no F's to give, and will be attending.
48:27
We are lucky that by the time the cops showed up, everything illegal had been taken, eaten, ingested, or swallowed.
48:33
I stayed mostly sober, stayed with my sister all night so she could party and not do anything too stupid.
48:39
My husband also attended, and I had tasked him with keeping an eye on the groom.
48:43
He decided the best way to keep the groom out of trouble was to get his pants pooping drunk, which he accomplished with the only casualty being some underwear, a sock, and a pair of Levi's.
48:58
The bus limo came out as the worst victim in the whole debacle.
49:01
It needs a biohazard cleanup and maybe some upholstery replaced?
49:06
My dad is pissed.
49:07
After reading the comments, I went to see my sister this morning and gave her a more sincere apology.
49:13
She asked me to be the matron of honor and I accepted.
49:16
Was she not already?
49:17
No.
49:18
Okay.
49:19
She, she dropped out.
49:20
She, yeah.
49:21
Okay, if anyone here is Free Saturday, we still need someone to sing the rose during the ceremony since my cousin is currently persona non grata.
49:30
I only know about the breakups from hearsay, but suffice it to say that getting a group of friends who have a lot of sexual history together and giving them drugs and alcohol then taking them out to see naked people is a terrific idea if you are not getting married in a week.
49:45
Update 2, when someone asked for the tea on the three couples that split.
49:48
I'll give the tamest example.
49:50
My cousin is a talented singer.
49:52
She is single and was supposed to sing a song during the ceremony.
49:56
However, she hooked up with the maid of honor, whom nobody knew had that in her, including her boyfriend.
50:04
This happened in the bus.
50:05
He got arrested for trying to break into the bus while this was going on and several people were cheering them on after locking him out.
50:14
Oh my gosh.
50:16
Update number three.
50:17
Original poster says I accept your judgment and just so you know I went to see my sister this morning gave a more sincere and honest apology I'm taking over as maid of honor.
50:26
My sister's reading the comments here and laughing her a off She's especially grateful that this is anonymous and none You will ever know her husband crapped his pants if you run into him on the street Do we still have an update?
50:38
There's two more.
50:39
Update number four.
50:41
As you may recall, my sister had a co ed bachelor bachelorette party that went sideways.
50:46
This is like probably like a month later.
50:47
Right.
50:48
This update.
50:49
If you were hoping for more effery, you will be sorely disappointed.
50:54
My father and husband had a talk with several of the miscreants that would be attending the wedding and put the fear of, if not God, then at least them into the children.
51:04
We found someone to sing the rose.
51:06
Why are they stuck on that song?
51:08
I hate that song.
51:10
And my husband stepped in as a groomsman.
51:12
As I commented, I did apologize to my sister for my insensitive snort and comment, and I was her maid of honor.
51:19
We also got a couple girls to fill in for the missing bridesmaids.
51:22
The wedding went off beautifully, and when everything was said and done, the only real consequences Or one divorce that was probably going to happen anyway, one arrest that will plead to a misdemeanor most likely, and one pair of underwear, one sock, and a pair of jeans.
51:37
I'm sorry.
51:37
I'm sorry to disappoint, but nothing much more of note happened at the wedding or reception.
51:41
Update six.
51:43
The divorce is final.
51:44
Thank God the only children involved were the quote adults in their mid twenties who decided that was appropriate behavior She's dating one of the guys from the Eiffel Tower The other guy and his girlfriend are friends with the happy couple Okay.
52:01
My cousin and my sister made up after a few months of iciness in their relationship.
52:05
My cousin is performing in a touring production of a Broadway musical.
52:08
We are all proud of her career, if not her choices for classy wedding behavior.
52:13
My brother in law has been sober since the wedding.
52:16
I guess ruining his underwear, a sock, and his favorite pair of jeans was a wake up call for his alcoholism.
52:22
My sister is happy that he has made a choice as they are expecting their first child in about two months.
52:29
My husband who's retired from all his rodeo shenanigans is trying to convince me that we should go to Spain so he can try running with the bulls.
52:38
What?
52:39
One of like the 46, 000 comments.
52:41
Okay.
52:42
Um, they, he wanted to do a rodeo, bachelor party.
52:45
Okay.
52:46
They are smaller than the ones he used to ride, so he feels confident he can do it.
52:49
So it seems like my sister's not the only person in my life who can't imagine consequences.
52:54
I'm gonna try to talk him into seeing it first before he decides to participate.
52:59
And last but not least, the maid of honor that dropped out of my sister's wedding party is getting married to the boyfriend that got arrested trying to break into the bus limo.
53:08
They are having very separate bachelor bachelorette parties.
53:11
The girls are going to Branson, which is described as Vegas if it was read by Ned Flanders.
53:18
The boys are going to go golfing in Myrtle Beach.
53:21
My husband and I are invited and will attend.
53:24
I asked my husband not to get involved if anything crazy kicks off.
53:28
Thanks for checking in.
53:29
I'll post in July after the parties if anything of note occurs.
53:32
I think that covers everything.
53:33
Holy crap.
53:35
It's not the best.
53:37
Holy crap.
53:39
But I don't think she is the a hole for laughing.
53:41
Because I probably would have done it.
53:43
I forgot what the question was.
53:45
She snorted.
53:46
When she was complaining about our car.
53:48
Oh, no I saw it, I was like, this is like pure gold.
53:52
This is pure gold.
53:53
Oh my God.
53:54
Well, okay.
53:54
And honestly, here's what I'm thinking.
53:55
They're went to Branson, Missouri and Myrtle Beach.
53:58
They've got to live not far from here.
54:00
Like they don't live in like.
54:03
That's the next wedding.
54:05
I know.
54:06
Branson and Myrtle Beach, like they're both Missouri and like, I don't, I really don't.
54:10
They live in Tennessee.
54:11
Is my guess it's like kind of halfway.
54:13
Right.
54:13
I don't think they live in like Idaho like What if they, what if they were golfing in Myrtle Beach when I was there last week?
54:20
Oh, there was no update yet.
54:24
Oh my gosh.
54:26
So I don't think she's the ale.
54:27
No, I don't either.
54:29
I got, you know, I was like scrolling through all the comments.
54:30
Of course.
54:31
This is amazing.
54:32
Like you need to post that link too.
54:33
Yeah, I got the links.
54:34
Okay.
54:36
But it was just keep in mind that this group of people all, Basically slept together in college like all of them slept together.
54:42
