Yo, yo, yo, Impolite Society chats in the house. I'm going, I'm going morning show DJ.

squadcaster-3jfg_1_01-17-2025_203220 0:52

welcome, to Impolite Society Chats. This is our little informal sit down, chit chat, morning talk show shock jock moment to carry you through the fortnight that spans our well researched all business episodes. I'm Rachel,

lb_1_01-17-2025_203211 1:12

I'm Laura.

squadcaster-3jfg_1_01-17-2025_203220 1:13

and we're here to just talk, shoot the shit, man.

lb_1_01-17-2025_203211 1:16

See what's going on in our lives. Build those, uh, parasocial relationships.

squadcaster-3jfg_1_01-17-2025_203220 1:20

Right, you know every podcast has that section where they say, How was your week? That's this. This is its own stand alone episode. So,

lb_1_01-17-2025_203211 1:30

Yep.

squadcaster-3jfg_1_01-17-2025_203220 1:31

how was your week, Laura?

lb_1_01-17-2025_203211 1:33

It was good. I went, uh, on a trip, a business trip, which was nice and, uh, I don't get out much, man, especially not to like big cities. I was in Chicago and I was like, holy shit.

squadcaster-3jfg_1_01-17-2025_203220 1:47

Love, Chicago.

lb_1_01-17-2025_203211 1:48

is a whole new world. I have been very sequestered for the past five years from COVID and children and,

squadcaster-3jfg_1_01-17-2025_203220 1:56

I've been staying out all night!

lb_1_01-17-2025_203211 1:59

it's, it was, it was, it was cool. It was a lot, but

squadcaster-3jfg_1_01-17-2025_203220 2:04

outside of work? Did you do anything fun?

lb_1_01-17-2025_203211 2:06

I did, I, well, I mean, like there was like the work. You know, get togethers, the two nights, which was fine. You know, it was fun. I enjoyed meeting my co workers in person. That was actually pretty great. You can cold, you can, you can pry work from home from my cold dead hands, but there is something about meeting people in person. You really do learn a lot more about them and, you know, I like to drink and be social. So I had a good time at all of those things.

squadcaster-3jfg_1_01-17-2025_203220 2:33

that's good.

lb_1_01-17-2025_203211 2:34

Yeah.

squadcaster-3jfg_1_01-17-2025_203220 2:34

you ever wish there was like, An app, maybe not an app, but like somewhere you could just like maybe pay someone, maybe like a male geisha, like somebody like you could go out. That's not a coworker that somebody you could just like talk to and like kind of have a little flirt flirt with, like not do anything with, like not have an affair with, you know, there's no expectation of that,

lb_1_01-17-2025_203211 2:54

called, literally called escorts,

squadcaster-3jfg_1_01-17-2025_203220 2:56

yeah, but no, because that implies sex. I

lb_1_01-17-2025_203211 2:58

but you can choose not to have sex.

squadcaster-3jfg_1_01-17-2025_203220 3:00

I mean, surely. Yeah. But you can't tell your spouse you want an escort,

lb_1_01-17-2025_203211 3:05

I don't think you could tell your spouse you're paying a man to flirt with you at dinner.

squadcaster-3jfg_1_01-17-2025_203220 3:10

well, not a dinner, but like take, you know, go out with or some things you don't have to make friends. I don't know. It's just hard. Like if you were in Chicago, I don't want to run around with my coworkers. That sounds like a powder keg, right? But I do want to like go out and see stuff. And sure, you could do it by yourself and then meet some people. But then that has more connotation, right? Because one time I was like, Um, one time I was in San Francisco, I think I talked about this. I don't know if it was on air or not about how I went with my blonde friends and like I was invisible. Um, but the one person who was talking to me and it was like, you know, we were like, it was a small talk. Like why are you here? Like, what do you do? Like blah, blah, blah, blah. And he was like, Oh, maybe I could show you guys around and blah, blah, blah, blah. And I was like, Oh yeah. You know, just letting you know I'm married. And then he just turned around and walked away and I was like, Oh, so the whole, yeah, the whole point

lb_1_01-17-2025_203211 3:59

all subterfuge.

squadcaster-3jfg_1_01-17-2025_203220 4:01

Right, so if you could just pay someone to be nice to you and like go around with you and have like conversation.

lb_1_01-17-2025_203211 4:08

Well, all I did is, so the last day I was there, the conference ended at noon. My flight didn't leave until, well, boarding wasn't until six o'clock. So I had a good chunk of time. So I went down to the Magnificent Mile and did a bunch of shopping slash walking around. I ended up buying one thing.

squadcaster-3jfg_1_01-17-2025_203220 4:32

Is that shirt?

lb_1_01-17-2025_203211 4:33

The shirt, which did you like, by the way, I texted you and you did not respond and if you liked it or not.

squadcaster-3jfg_1_01-17-2025_203220 4:39

I said it wasn't my I wouldn't have bought I would never have seen it and tried it on. It was nice. It's a nice shirt. I don't have good fashion sense, so I don't know what's good and what's not. I'm wearing a baseball tee that says Goose

lb_1_01-17-2025_203211 4:51

I'm wearing a

squadcaster-3jfg_1_01-17-2025_203220 4:51

Also from Chicago.

lb_1_01-17-2025_203211 4:53

It's not about if it's cool. The question is like, does it look okay?

squadcaster-3jfg_1_01-17-2025_203220 4:59

I wouldn't think it didn't.

lb_1_01-17-2025_203211 5:01

Okay, then There you go. All right. Don't text you for fashion advice anymore. Got it.

squadcaster-3jfg_1_01-17-2025_203220 5:07

yeah, well, I don't Respond fast, you know that

lb_1_01-17-2025_203211 5:10

didn't need you to be, I didn't see a response period. It was just

squadcaster-3jfg_1_01-17-2025_203220 5:14

I

lb_1_01-17-2025_203211 5:15

into a whole nother topic. Well, it got lost. I'm gonna have

squadcaster-3jfg_1_01-17-2025_203220 5:18

it said I said it's not my cup of tea But it doesn't something like that. It doesn't look bad or you know, I don't remember what it was I just said again, I would not have found it on the rack picked it up and been like I like this

lb_1_01-17-2025_203211 5:30

think it looks kind of seventies. That's why I like it. Like the, the floral

squadcaster-3jfg_1_01-17-2025_203220 5:34

In my memory, it's a rainbow color. It's kind of like a lisa frank esque like rainbow Gradient

lb_1_01-17-2025_203211 5:40

it's floral. It's Flo, it's Navy with floral on it. It's fine. Whatever. I'm

squadcaster-3jfg_1_01-17-2025_203220 5:47

It's a good shirt. Obviously you bought it

lb_1_01-17-2025_203211 5:51

I bought it because I had just convinced myself not to buy the 2, 000 coat I wanted to buy.

squadcaster-3jfg_1_01-17-2025_203220 5:56

It's your consolation.

lb_1_01-17-2025_203211 5:58

is, it was my consolation prize because I, the fucking shirt was 68. At Anthropologie. Oh, yeah, way too much. I would have never bought that at home, but because I had been shopping for hours and just walking

squadcaster-3jfg_1_01-17-2025_203220 6:11

want something.

lb_1_01-17-2025_203211 6:13

I want something, so I bought it. I mean, I think we might have to revisit this Canada Goose counterfeit conversation because I'm seriously considering

squadcaster-3jfg_1_01-17-2025_203220 6:23

And that's a coat for folks who aren't in the know, because Laura's like, should I buy a Canada goose from China? And I was like, I don't know what any of that

lb_1_01-17-2025_203211 6:31

Yeah!

squadcaster-3jfg_1_01-17-2025_203220 6:34

If you're going to buy a long goose from China, yes, that's my gut says yes. And then you can put a coat on that.

lb_1_01-17-2025_203211 6:41

No, it's a super, like, heavy duty, like, it started, Canada Goose started as literally a, like, a supplier to government employees who had to work in the Arctic tundra of Canada. It is now a very bougie, like, coat shop, thus it being, it, uh, uh,

squadcaster-3jfg_1_01-17-2025_203220 7:04

sense that it would be in Chicago,

lb_1_01-17-2025_203211 7:06

Oh my God, it was so fucking cold.

squadcaster-3jfg_1_01-17-2025_203220 7:09

you have a garage, like, you park inside, so I don't know when you would wear it, to be fair.

lb_1_01-17-2025_203211 7:15

Honestly, that is a really good point. When you texted me that this afternoon, I was like, Okay, fair. Because I did just spend two days walking around Chicago, in which I was like, Motherfucker!

squadcaster-3jfg_1_01-17-2025_203220 7:26

I need a Canada, I need whatever, a down coat.

lb_1_01-17-2025_203211 7:29

Yeah. And I went the expeditionary coat, which is the literal one that they take to Mount Everest, and the most expensive coat that they sell.

squadcaster-3jfg_1_01-17-2025_203220 7:41

I mean, it's nice, but if you're gonna spend that much on a coat, like, get one that at least goes to your knees, in my opinion.

lb_1_01-17-2025_203211 7:47

No, that's why I like it I

squadcaster-3jfg_1_01-17-2025_203220 7:50

it doesn't go to your knees?

lb_1_01-17-2025_203211 7:52

I it's like hip length. It's like right below the hip.

squadcaster-3jfg_1_01-17-2025_203220 7:55

Yeah, but that's out of style.

lb_1_01-17-2025_203211 7:57

I don't give a fuck about style, Rachel. I

squadcaster-3jfg_1_01-17-2025_203220 7:59

spend 2,

lb_1_01-17-2025_203211 8:00

care. They haven't changed the design in like fucking 40 years. Like the coat is the coat.

squadcaster-3jfg_1_01-17-2025_203220 8:06

to be fair, my, my puffer coat that goes to my knees, my thighs are roasty toasty. So, like, you need that extra.

lb_1_01-17-2025_203211 8:13

No,

squadcaster-3jfg_1_01-17-2025_203220 8:13

My shins have never been cold, but my thighs, they're cold. They're warm. They're cold and warm. Now cold, water cold, now warm.

lb_1_01-17-2025_203211 8:23

Well, speaking of buying things, so As I was spending hours on the Magnificent Mile and shopping, you know, I'm, I'm very anti purchasing, right? But so, like, I came in there with the idea of like, Oh, this is just like a look and see and just like walk around and trip and after a few hours I wanted to fucking buy everything. And I was, it does, because apparently I am very immune to like online advertising, but in person. And it. It may, I'm like, how quickly can everyone be reprogrammed to not want to buy things online because buying things in person is so much better.

squadcaster-3jfg_1_01-17-2025_203220 9:05

Except you have to leave your house, and you can't do it while wine drunk on a Tuesday.

lb_1_01-17-2025_203211 9:10

sure you can, just not in your house. But I mean like it's a longer process, right? Like there's the looking, the touching, the choosing, the trying on, you know, the tactile experience. Like once you hold something, you're like, Ooh, I want it, you know what I mean?

squadcaster-3jfg_1_01-17-2025_203220 9:28

I like, I'm like, it's not worth it. I don't know.

lb_1_01-17-2025_203211 9:32

Online or in

squadcaster-3jfg_1_01-17-2025_203220 9:33

I'm not a shopper. If somebody could pick out all my outfits for me and I would just wake up and they'd be there, I'd do that. Like I, I don't even care. If somebody said this is the idealized clothes for you, I'm sure. That sounds good. I'm gonna be like Mark Zuckerberg. Just one outfit every day. We need

lb_1_01-17-2025_203211 9:49

thought that was Steve Jobs. Does Mark Zuckerberg do that

squadcaster-3jfg_1_01-17-2025_203220 9:52

Yeah, they all do that. It's like a billionaire gotta free my brain up like, oh,

lb_1_01-17-2025_203211 9:56

Oh, he's so important!

squadcaster-3jfg_1_01-17-2025_203220 9:57

like all white dudes don't wear the same uniform anyway. My, my husband's put zero thought into his clothes. You wanna know how he gets them? His mom buys them for him and they show up. Yeah, cause he doesn't put any effort into it. I think, I think he's a 31 year old man. I'm not buying him clothes. We got in a fight. I went shopping with him once when we were dating in college. And they told him a shirt looked too big because he was five, well, because he was six, seven, and a hundred and seventy pounds. And he got mad and then he stormed off and ran over my groceries. It's one of my favorite stories. And then, yeah, I, I married that man that ran over my groceries. That's good.

lb_1_01-17-2025_203211 10:38

On accident, on accident,

squadcaster-3jfg_1_01-17-2025_203220 10:41

he didn't stop. My, my poor popsicles were scattered.

lb_1_01-17-2025_203211 10:47

It's college. We're

squadcaster-3jfg_1_01-17-2025_203220 10:48

Yeah, why the fuck was I buying groceries anyway? I should've just been living off Taco Bell.

lb_1_01-17-2025_203211 10:53

Fair. Your stomach could handle it back then.

squadcaster-3jfg_1_01-17-2025_203220 10:56

I know! Geez.

lb_1_01-17-2025_203211 11:00

So what's going on with you?

squadcaster-3jfg_1_01-17-2025_203220 11:03

Well, it's been a very busy week. I know that it's not the same as running around Chicago living it up on the Magnificent Mile, but I have discovered, um, A couple shows on Netflix, which I'll talk about in a second, but I also just really want to make sure I talk about this little band that I've learned about this like little Australian band that I am now obsessed with. You may have heard of them, probably not. Cause I'm like really cool. And on the edge, but they're called the Wiggles,

lb_1_01-17-2025_203211 11:31

You

squadcaster-3jfg_1_01-17-2025_203220 11:33

the Wobbles,

lb_1_01-17-2025_203211 11:34

the

squadcaster-3jfg_1_01-17-2025_203220 11:35

kangaroo, Joey kangaroo.

lb_1_01-17-2025_203211 11:38

That's the one.

squadcaster-3jfg_1_01-17-2025_203220 11:39

His walkabout. No, the Wiggles. What is going on with them?

lb_1_01-17-2025_203211 11:44

I have not heard of the wiggles in, uh, Maybe 10, 15 years.

squadcaster-3jfg_1_01-17-2025_203220 11:48

They're still out there making new music

lb_1_01-17-2025_203211 11:50

Are they

squadcaster-3jfg_1_01-17-2025_203220 11:50

and it's, it's nuts because I found it on TikTok. Rest in peace. Um, and so I started like playing the song. They have a song, very contentious. I'll talk about that in a second, but I started playing a song for my son and then I'm like, okay, we're gonna put it on and then I watched a compilation video or like a bunch of their little shorts and I don't know what they're doing. It is both cringy and like appalling to watch but impossible to look away from. It's insane what dark magic they are working on me. That I'm just like, me and my kid are just like, wiggles, And we just sit there and watch it and I'm just like cringing to my core. But it's just I can't look away

lb_1_01-17-2025_203211 12:38

I, I, I don't know. Honestly, my biggest reference point for them is the

squadcaster-3jfg_1_01-17-2025_203220 12:41

is 30

lb_1_01-17-2025_203211 12:42

on 30 Rock.

squadcaster-3jfg_1_01-17-2025_203220 12:43

I had no idea either until this happened until bouncing balls. Which is the song, crossed my For You page, and then I went down this rabbit hole, and I'm like bouncing balls. I think that's an innuendo. I think this song is low key dirty. My husband thinks I'm just an all around middle school brained pervert. But like, okay, the lyrics, and I was like, I gotta run this by Laura to make sure I'm not just insane. Okay, what are, let me look up some of the lyrics real quick.

lb_1_01-17-2025_203211 13:13

Cause you did send me the video, but I did not watch the video. Sorry to say, I was running around the

squadcaster-3jfg_1_01-17-2025_203220 13:19

Well, yeah, you were at the airport, so you were a little busy. It's just this man, like, pelvic thrusting in a children's music video. So, the tree of wisdom. That guy goes hard. So, it starts off. This is a quote from the start. Alright, everybody, it's fitness time. Time to get your balls out.

lb_1_01-17-2025_203211 13:40

Okay, but there's jumping on balls, right? Like,

squadcaster-3jfg_1_01-17-2025_203220 13:43

Well, they're bouncing balls, bouncing, bouncing balls, yeah, let's bounce some balls. So, like, basketballs, blah, blah, blah, blah. And so, I'm like, maybe I am just dirty minded. That's it. But, okay, so here's the line that I think really seals the deal. And I know that a lot of children's media likes to sneak in adult jokes to keep their parents entertained. But this is the one, to me, that really seals the deal. So it goes, Purple balls, red balls, yellow balls too. You know my favorite ball of all is the color blue.

lb_1_01-17-2025_203211 14:15

Okay, definitely I, I definitely can see where you say that. But also, who likes blue balls? Ha ha

squadcaster-3jfg_1_01-17-2025_203220 14:23

Why of any

lb_1_01-17-2025_203211 14:24

But why? Yeah, that's fair. I, I totally feel that.

squadcaster-3jfg_1_01-17-2025_203220 14:27

cause it's blue balls. That's, that is a hundo, and it's a girl singing it. Cause they have women now.

lb_1_01-17-2025_203211 14:34

All right. No. All right. I, I see what you're saying. The girl singing it does more, like,

squadcaster-3jfg_1_01-17-2025_203220 14:41

but it's not saying that she's trying to say that she doesn't like, she likes to give guys blue balls. It was just like, you could have picked any color.

lb_1_01-17-2025_203211 14:48

Yeah. But the girls sing it because if a guy were to make a joke, it was like, my favorite balls are blue balls. Like, why? Why would you make that joke? Of course you don't like blue

squadcaster-3jfg_1_01-17-2025_203220 14:56

Well, I think that's thinking too much into it. Even it's just like, why is your favorite ball blue, blue balls? I

lb_1_01-17-2025_203211 15:03

color blue?

squadcaster-3jfg_1_01-17-2025_203220 15:05

don't know.

lb_1_01-17-2025_203211 15:05

Who cares? Your kid's not going to pick it up. So who gives a shit?

squadcaster-3jfg_1_01-17-2025_203220 15:08

but I'm just like, Dan, I think this is like meant to be a little kid, a little bit dirty. And Dan was like, you're insane. So maybe I am insane. What do you think? What does the listener

lb_1_01-17-2025_203211 15:18

in listeners. Give us

squadcaster-3jfg_1_01-17-2025_203220 15:20

tell us

lb_1_01-17-2025_203211 15:21

insights on the Wiggle Woggles.

squadcaster-3jfg_1_01-17-2025_203220 15:23

but okay. So another thing about the wiggles is that this bouncing ball one is done. They do a crossover video with the Harlem globe trotters,

lb_1_01-17-2025_203211 15:29

They're all fun.

squadcaster-3jfg_1_01-17-2025_203220 15:30

which I like, I'm enamored with them like the three that are on the video or four are all so charming that it's just like y'all have impeccable presence like I could just watch you do whatever and That inspired me to go Google Their team and like see the roster cuz I'm like I gotta learn more about these people So I scrolled through the roster and I found out that on the globe but the global On the Harlem Globetrotters, there is both a man who is under 5 feet and a white dude. And guess which one I was more surprised to see on the roster.

lb_1_01-17-2025_203211 16:07

The white

squadcaster-3jfg_1_01-17-2025_203220 16:08

The what? I'm like, the Harlem Globetrotters has a white dude?

lb_1_01-17-2025_203211 16:12

This DEI, man.

squadcaster-3jfg_1_01-17-2025_203220 16:14

Well, he's Polish, so apparently he's like a big, he's like the best b baller in Poland or whatever.

lb_1_01-17-2025_203211 16:20

Huh. Good for them. Branching out.

squadcaster-3jfg_1_01-17-2025_203220 16:23

He was, a, well, okay. Cause I, I read his bio cause I was so interested and he came to like a fan thing and like won the fan contest. And they were like, Whoa, you were pretty good. And he's like, yes, I am the best bounce ball bouncer or something trick shot in all of Europe.

lb_1_01-17-2025_203211 16:40

I'm

squadcaster-3jfg_1_01-17-2025_203220 16:40

were like, Oh

lb_1_01-17-2025_203211 16:41

blue baller in all of Europe.

squadcaster-3jfg_1_01-17-2025_203220 16:43

yeah, duh. Don't leave me that way. Um, but yeah, so that's that I'm now deep in the Wiggles

lb_1_01-17-2025_203211 16:51

And the Harlem Globetrotters. I feel like they have a good story. I feel like I read something or listened to a podcast once about them. And it was all very positive, like, there's no scandal, like, they're all, it's just like, wholesome, all across the board.

squadcaster-3jfg_1_01-17-2025_203220 17:07

Yeah, they got ladies on their team now, too. So I just like, yeah, yeah, the ladies I was like, awesome. The white dude I was like, mmm, and then I wrote a story I was like, okay, you pass because you're Polish and the Poles are like the black folks of

lb_1_01-17-2025_203211 17:20

It's true, they truly are.

squadcaster-3jfg_1_01-17-2025_203220 17:23

you count, you pass, you get a pass But also I'm watching a couple shows and I don't know what you're watching these days So I will just throw them out there. I watched a thriller show called Missing You, which was so outrageous Like Egregiously ridiculous that I would not recommend it.

lb_1_01-17-2025_203211 17:42

What is it about?

squadcaster-3jfg_1_01-17-2025_203220 17:44

It's a lady detective and like her dad is a doctor, a police officer who was killed and she's like her fiance disappears so she's trying to like solve this mystery of her fiance disappearing like walking out on her when

lb_1_01-17-2025_203211 17:58

Is it a British one? Yeah, these are like a dime a dozen for like the BBC.

squadcaster-3jfg_1_01-17-2025_203220 18:04

no it was made for Netflix I think and

lb_1_01-17-2025_203211 18:06

Yeah, but I, I know what you mean though.

squadcaster-3jfg_1_01-17-2025_203220 18:08

Yeah, and like the big villain of the series was this random man on a farm who was kidnapping like Five to seven people at a time to extort money out of them using phishing through dating profiles And I'm like, how does this exist in this tiny little country without anybody catching on that like People are disappearing

lb_1_01-17-2025_203211 18:31

at a very quick rate.

squadcaster-3jfg_1_01-17-2025_203220 18:33

they all have the same thing in common that they're on a dating app. It just, it just, it felt completely preposterous. And this woman,

lb_1_01-17-2025_203211 18:39

advertised and I thought pass.

squadcaster-3jfg_1_01-17-2025_203220 18:42

don't watch it. There's literally a scene at the end where there's like, the guy, the big bad, has this lady that he kidnapped, has his, her son, and then the lady's standing there with a shovel and then the cop runs in with a gun and she's like trying to talk to him or whatever. I'm like, lady, you got a shovel, swing away. Swing away, to quote signs, just like, what? Yeah,

lb_1_01-17-2025_203211 19:04

use that one all the time.

squadcaster-3jfg_1_01-17-2025_203220 19:06

why are you not running and killing him right this second? I don't understand. I just, what are you doing? Anyways, it was

lb_1_01-17-2025_203211 19:12

it says. I think it's, is that a, I think this is a book.

squadcaster-3jfg_1_01-17-2025_203220 19:16

It was a book. It sound like, I can't I like thrillers. I like them. I cannot say in any thriller where it's like a big crime syndicate and there was like some kind of mafia boss in it. I just I can't I just that or the cartel. Every American one has the cartel in it, and I'm just like I don't think you people even really know what the cartel is. It's not,

lb_1_01-17-2025_203211 19:37

on what it is. Like, if it's a drug show, yeah, it's the cartel.

squadcaster-3jfg_1_01-17-2025_203220 19:42

yeah, but it's like, no, it's like even the thriller books, like this girl goes missing and there's like a secret cartel holdout somewhere in Michigan. And like that stuff, it just feels like a, you pull the same card every time.

lb_1_01-17-2025_203211 19:54

Playing Cards Against Humanity, you just flipped it out. Cartel!

squadcaster-3jfg_1_01-17-2025_203220 19:58

and it's just like it's not scary cuz I don't believe it's gonna come in It's like what's way more gripping are the stories about like people normal people doing crazy stuff, but whatever I'm good I'm not an editor here.

lb_1_01-17-2025_203211 20:11

yeah.

squadcaster-3jfg_1_01-17-2025_203220 20:12

And then this one you might like it's

lb_1_01-17-2025_203211 20:14

I'm aware of it. Yeah, my dad was watching it on Netflix. He's like, this is really fucking good. And so I'm like, alright, add, add to list.

squadcaster-3jfg_1_01-17-2025_203220 20:23

Well, you know your number one hater here, um certified hater. I was not jiving with it so much It's just over the top violent for no reason like I know the Wild West didn't have rules You But like people aren't just running in and murdering 70 people in one go. It's just that's just not

lb_1_01-17-2025_203211 20:42

It depends on, maybe, you know, they had mass murder. Like, what is, is it a serial killer or

squadcaster-3jfg_1_01-17-2025_203220 20:48

no It's like they're gonna wipe out a whole wagon party and

lb_1_01-17-2025_203211 20:52

Oh yeah, they did that. They 100 percent did that.

squadcaster-3jfg_1_01-17-2025_203220 20:56

and then there's like but there's also like the Indians are coming across each other or sorry the indigenous people are coming across each other and just like killing people point blank and it just

lb_1_01-17-2025_203211 21:07

happened. All of those things happened.

squadcaster-3jfg_1_01-17-2025_203220 21:09

Yeah, but not within a three day span.

lb_1_01-17-2025_203211 21:11

Fair to like the same group.

squadcaster-3jfg_1_01-17-2025_203220 21:13

Yeah, it was just, I'd, I'd, Cause I had just come off reading The Indifferent Stars Above, which is about the Donner Party. And even in the worst situation, those people were still trying to help each other. So I just, like, I don't think of humanity as inherently, like, we're gonna come out and kill y'all, you know? It just, it's, I don't know. Like, there's, it's, they're in Bridger, Fort Bridgers, and there's like, people shooting each other dead in the street. It just, it doesn't seem,

lb_1_01-17-2025_203211 21:43

I really like Westerns. So yeah, I think it probably would be up my alley.

squadcaster-3jfg_1_01-17-2025_203220 21:47

might like it. It's got, um, that actress from Glow in it, and she's, you know, blonde.

lb_1_01-17-2025_203211 21:53

Do I like blonde women?

squadcaster-3jfg_1_01-17-2025_203220 21:55

I don't know, she's got a little sun with a brace on his leg. Oh, okay, this is where it lost me, is the opening scene, they're leaving from St. Joe, Missouri, and I'm like, that ain't Missouri.

lb_1_01-17-2025_203211 22:04

Oh,

squadcaster-3jfg_1_01-17-2025_203220 22:05

seen Missouri. They're like leaving from the one train station in St. Joe and it's just like This is Utah. Like, y'all didn't even try to make it look like Missouri. Like, you didn't even look up what Missouri looked like. It's just very evidently not the Midwest, right? And it was like, Montana. I

lb_1_01-17-2025_203211 22:26

too many mountains.

squadcaster-3jfg_1_01-17-2025_203220 22:28

don't know, it was just, I just, the landscape's different. Like, Missouri looks like Missouri. And, I mean, Nebraska, sure, maybe. But, like, Kansas City looks a lot like the east side of the state

lb_1_01-17-2025_203211 22:38

yeah,

squadcaster-3jfg_1_01-17-2025_203220 22:39

for the most part. So, it's just like, that's, they probably never even Considered Missouri. They probably don't even know where it is on the map.

lb_1_01-17-2025_203211 22:46

Well they also probably don't nobody films in Missouri or the midwest because of uh film credits. Nobody films there.

squadcaster-3jfg_1_01-17-2025_203220 22:53

I know, which is a bummer. I

lb_1_01-17-2025_203211 22:55

is a bummer!

squadcaster-3jfg_1_01-17-2025_203220 22:56

they were trying, I feel like everything would be so cheap. Why not?

lb_1_01-17-2025_203211 22:59

I, I know, I, it's something to do with tax credits, like the government has to pass the tax credits for like production or art, art, like television or movie production or whatever you would call that. And I often think of it as like Atlanta got to be like the hub of everything. And I'm like, Jelly, why can't we get people over to Missouri?

squadcaster-3jfg_1_01-17-2025_203220 23:19

the Ozarks in Georgia. That might, come on

lb_1_01-17-2025_203211 23:22

I know. Exactly. It was, it seemed uh, like a slap in the face.

squadcaster-3jfg_1_01-17-2025_203220 23:26

Yeah. We don't have much here.

lb_1_01-17-2025_203211 23:29

Yeah, you,

squadcaster-3jfg_1_01-17-2025_203220 23:30

But we have the Ozarks. Which I'm pretty sure the cartels were involved in that one too, so,

lb_1_01-17-2025_203211 23:35

They, but it was like, it was a, it was a, a redneck cartel. I'm pretty sure

squadcaster-3jfg_1_01-17-2025_203220 23:40

Yeah, and I'm not saying that

lb_1_01-17-2025_203211 23:42

he grew, they were

squadcaster-3jfg_1_01-17-2025_203220 23:43

but I don't think they exist.

lb_1_01-17-2025_203211 23:46

of the Ozarks. I don't think that's,

squadcaster-3jfg_1_01-17-2025_203220 23:49

Growing heroin? Is that what you said?

lb_1_01-17-2025_203211 23:51

They were growing poppy,

squadcaster-3jfg_1_01-17-2025_203220 23:52

Oh, I'm like, I'm so far removed. I'm like, how do you grow heroin? I don't even know. I thought it was something you made.

lb_1_01-17-2025_203211 23:58

Yeah. Well, you

squadcaster-3jfg_1_01-17-2025_203220 24:00

It's an opium,

lb_1_01-17-2025_203211 24:01

Yeah, but the, so some, from the poppies, you do something chemically with it to make heroin.

squadcaster-3jfg_1_01-17-2025_203220 24:08

Yeah.

lb_1_01-17-2025_203211 24:09

I don't know. Anyway, I never, I never finished. I

squadcaster-3jfg_1_01-17-2025_203220 24:11

and I just don't think I just don't think like these drug rings are like these master criminals I think it's just a bunch of idiots leading idiots. And that's why they all get shot and killed because it's just

lb_1_01-17-2025_203211 24:23

I wouldn't know. I don't know. I don't watch a lot of like drug themed stuff,

squadcaster-3jfg_1_01-17-2025_203220 24:28

yeah I because I mean maybe in Miami, I don't know I watched that one with um, the girl from modern fan the woman from modern family. I watched that I can't Gloria No, that's her name in modern family.

lb_1_01-17-2025_203211 24:39

I know which one you're talking about.

squadcaster-3jfg_1_01-17-2025_203220 24:41

Like sure. Maybe that's like a big organized crime, but like

lb_1_01-17-2025_203211 24:44

Oh, definitely in Miami, yeah.

squadcaster-3jfg_1_01-17-2025_203220 24:46

Yeah, but I mean even still it like is it

lb_1_01-17-2025_203211 24:50

To watch Sicario, you would fucking hate it. It's so good.

squadcaster-3jfg_1_01-17-2025_203220 24:53

it's just like is it this big like actual I I just any kind of thing where it's people running it I just don't think it's gonna be perfect. I think it's gonna be kind of like inefficient I don't know like look at the government. I

lb_1_01-17-2025_203211 25:08

all kinds of people.

squadcaster-3jfg_1_01-17-2025_203220 25:09

Yeah

lb_1_01-17-2025_203211 25:11

murders a lot of people. I watched something totally different. I watched a Netflix, uh, inside the, the, A man on the inside with Ted Danson, where he's like an old, um, retired professor whose wife just died. And somehow he gets like. Recruited to be a mole at a retirement community by this

squadcaster-3jfg_1_01-17-2025_203220 25:33

yeah I've seen the ads for

lb_1_01-17-2025_203211 25:34

It was cute. It was cute. I was intrigued. It was kind of heartwarming. It was funny in parts. I liked it. I liked it. It was a very quick watch. I think it's like eight episodes. There are

squadcaster-3jfg_1_01-17-2025_203220 25:46

I think they stole that concept from psych. There was an episode where

lb_1_01-17-2025_203211 25:50

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. We're the dad Yeah.

squadcaster-3jfg_1_01-17-2025_203220 25:52

into the old folks home to solve the

lb_1_01-17-2025_203211 25:55

And he was like, you know, the, the Casanova. Same thing with Ted Danson becomes Casanova.

squadcaster-3jfg_1_01-17-2025_203220 26:00

right because they're the ones who aren't peeing their

lb_1_01-17-2025_203211 26:03

Exactly.

squadcaster-3jfg_1_01-17-2025_203220 26:05

and I think in psych He was actually like 50 or 60 or like he

lb_1_01-17-2025_203211 26:09

He was trying to pretend like he was way

squadcaster-3jfg_1_01-17-2025_203220 26:11

years older.

lb_1_01-17-2025_203211 26:12

Yeah

squadcaster-3jfg_1_01-17-2025_203220 26:14

I'm gonna go watch psych after this.

lb_1_01-17-2025_203211 26:16

I, I watched the whole series not too long ago. Like less than a year ago I watched it all. But then this got me on a Ted Danson kick. So I started watching The Good Place again.

squadcaster-3jfg_1_01-17-2025_203220 26:26

Oh, have you watched mr. Mayor?

lb_1_01-17-2025_203211 26:28

No, that is on my list, and I hear that one's good, too.

squadcaster-3jfg_1_01-17-2025_203220 26:31

I liked it. It is very close. I think Same writers as 30 Rock, I

lb_1_01-17-2025_203211 26:35

That's what I hear, yeah.

squadcaster-3jfg_1_01-17-2025_203220 26:37

so it is very similar pacing. And I do like that one actress who was also on Crazy Ex Girlfriend. So I like her. Um, she's a kiss assistant. Um, no, it's good. It's disappointing. I don't think it has more than two seasons.

lb_1_01-17-2025_203211 26:51

Yeah, story of our lives.

squadcaster-3jfg_1_01-17-2025_203220 26:53

Yeah, all the

lb_1_01-17-2025_203211 26:54

Always upsetting. I have a hard time watching new shows, just period. Like, I just want to go back to my comfort shows. Just turn off my brain.

squadcaster-3jfg_1_01-17-2025_203220 27:04

No, I know that feeling. I'm like craving the excitement of a new show because I've been Santa brought my son a trampoline like a little indoor trampoline for Christmas And he was very kind enough to bring an adult version that my

lb_1_01-17-2025_203211 27:18

Oh, fun.

squadcaster-3jfg_1_01-17-2025_203220 27:20

can jump on the trampoline. So I've been, as like part of my morning exercise routine, like it's walking, running, and then I also do the rebounding. And so I'm trying to find a nice show that will like make me motivated to like get up and actually watch it. But I haven't found anything. That's what, uh, missing you was supposed to be. But

lb_1_01-17-2025_203211 27:37

Meh. What is happening right now?

squadcaster-3jfg_1_01-17-2025_203220 27:44

that guy with a shovel.

lb_1_01-17-2025_203211 27:48

All right. Well, I think that's it for Society

squadcaster-3jfg_1_01-17-2025_203220 27:53

I think that's an important thing to remember is just hit that guy with a shovel.

lb_1_01-17-2025_203211 27:57

if you have an opportunity to strike, strike. A good offense is the best defense.

squadcaster-3jfg_1_01-17-2025_203220 28:04

right. I mean, I heard something anyway, I'm not going to get into it. Swing away.

lb_1_01-17-2025_203211 28:10

Swing away. You too, listeners, swing away and tune in next week to whatever our fucking topic is. I know we've recorded it.

squadcaster-3jfg_1_01-17-2025_203220 28:18

Well, yeah, we just don't know what

lb_1_01-17-2025_203211 28:20

I just don't know what order

squadcaster-3jfg_1_01-17-2025_203220 28:21

is this, is this chat going to come out in April?

lb_1_01-17-2025_203211 28:25

just get on the phone and talk.

lb_1_01-17-2025_203211 28:29

Yep. And we'll figure it out on the back end.

squadcaster-3jfg_1_01-17-2025_203220 28:32

swing your way over to Apple or Google or Spotify, wherever you get your podcasts in. Swing that five star review. Smash that, whatever. You know the drill.

lb_1_01-17-2025_203211 28:43

Or just listen. That's also a thing.

squadcaster-3jfg_1_01-17-2025_203220 28:46

Yeah, you don't have to do anything. You don't have to earn our love. We already like you enough.

lb_1_01-17-2025_203211 28:51

Bye.
