Amidst speculation about the festival's fate and their friends still attending, they delve into various conspiracy theories, including hoarding hotel toiletries and #KateGate.

With a blend of curiosity and skepticism, the hosts lead listeners on an entertaining exploration of prophecies and presidential time-travel, promising an unforgettable auditory experience.
Solar Eclipse Festival FOMO
Speaker 1Hello, hello, hello and welcome back to Dose of Delusion. It is me, your host, yours truly Jay, and I am sitting miles away from the beautiful the. You're showing me your shirt right now and it threw me off with my opening, but the quintessential AJ, aj. How are you Tell us everything?
Speaker 2Um, hi, I'm good just here on this lovely spring april evening catching up with my bestie thousands of miles away on our once in a week chit chat, which we keep on saying we need to do more, but unfortunately we haven't because we're so busy and, um still navigating this whole, not in the studio, but trying to create, recreate the studio thing. I think it's working out great. I see that you're sitting on a lovely seat right now and I am still in my little homemade studio, um, but I actually wanted to bring up real quick, um, the solar eclipse that's gonna be happening. Um, on the, I think it's like on Monday, this coming Monday, and I you had tickets, or you were going to get tickets, to an event that you ended up selling off, correct, correct? I?
Speaker 1did get a ticket for the Solar Eclipse Festival, and it was starting today actually I think it was Thursday, friday, saturday, sunday, monday, which was five days way, way too long. I only got the three-day pass, maybe. No, I got the four-day. I got the four-day, uh four-day pass.
Speaker 2So had I not made this uh trip out here to my new home, I would have been over there at that festival for the solar eclipse um, you know, and then with that, um, very funny, the the news just started mentioning that it's going to be might possibly be overcast and Texas might be the worst state to be in to watch the solar eclipse. So I'm reveling in it. I'm just like, oh, what do you mean? It's going to be cloudy and might be stormy, with thunderstorms. Let me tell you.
Speaker 1Let me tell you how pissed off I would have been. Okay. So first of all, me being the Venmo friend, meaning I don't pay attention to any details, you just invite me somewhere, you tell me how much it is, I'll send you. I'm there. So me, being the Venmo friend, did that thing. I just venmo the money for my tickets. That's how I ended up accidentally buying the vip ticket like an idiot.
Speaker 1but um I didn't know that the actual eclipse was on the last day of the festival. Do you think that I would have wanted to party hard day night for three and a half, four days and then wait to see the festival on a monday? Absolutely the fuck not. And so when I found that out, I was already kind of bummed and annoyed. I'm like that's gonna suck. The last thing I want to do is wait for the, for the the monday, when I'm already exhausted. Um, so that, combined with the fact that it might have been overcast and I didn't see anything, I would have been living but not no, no, not just overcast like there's might be like thunderstorms and they might get rained out.
Speaker 2and one of our friends who's going, who um, was very adamant about trying to get me to go. He sent me a text today and was just like um, so I'm sure you're so disappointed that you're going to miss out us being soaking wet and in lots of traffic trying to leave after the solar eclipse. I bet you're so upset right now and I just like ha ha did and then didn't respond for hours and then I was like so are you all planning on doing?
Speaker 2so I um you know I, you know what, and just because out of spite and mother nature and it's, it's like the, the energy that I've been having and and getting for, um, the way the planets are aligning, like it might just spite me and be like the most beautiful weather, but just giving me like little tease, like ha-ha, and then it's going to like slap me in the face and be like never mind clear skies.
Speaker 1So you see, that's the thing and I hope for the thousands and thousands of people's sake, this vendor or coordinator, whoever is, you know, coordinating this whole music festival event is really promoting and pushing the camping and glamping. So they have these little fire festival like tents, and I know and that's what he mentioned also.
Speaker 2He said I'm getting fire festival vibes and I was like oh, poor you you know what?
Speaker 1I'm secretly like okay okay, so no, let's put a pin in that real quick, okay? So first of all, yeah, so they were promoting this camping, glamping in these tents, and then if you don't want to do the glamping tent, you could bring your own tent. If you want to do that, you can bring your own camper. But realistically, there's no hotels, not very many hotels around the area, because you want to be on the festival grounds. Okay, now back to your Fyre Festival vibes. So I am not deep in the scene of that music, but even then you would think that I might know a handful of the many, many bands that are supposed to be there and artists and DJs, and I didn't recognize a single name. And then the people who are heavy into that music, they only recognize like one or two names, and I wouldn't be surprised if those headliners didn't show up. And then, who are these other people?
Speaker 1Nobodies, it is heaven I would love it you know what? Let's go ahead let's put it out there right now this is going to be texas's fire festival. I I should eat a cheese I take it back.
Speaker 2I want positive vibes that I'm gonna send out. Hopefully clears up, uh, for all my friends that are going. I hope it's going to be an awesome time because there's also spiritual things going on, there's science things going on. I hope that they don't get rained out, but the little devil in me that's making my horns come out is just living for the whole chaos of a thunderstorm.
Speaker 1I hope you know, knowing our friends that are going, I do think you're right out or not rain out, even if it does rain and storm, with the right music and and attitudes and everything else, you know they're gonna have a blast, no matter what for sure, absolutely.
Speaker 2But the muddy muck that they might have to be dealing with. They might get like trapped in, like if it is heavy storms, they might get trapped and mudded in. They won't be able to escape, and I'm it's giving, it's giving a burning man it's well, but that was the whole thing like it.
Speaker 2It was always giving me that vibe and I'm not a festival person, which why I was like, immediately vibe, and I'm not a festival person, which why I was like immediately, no, I don't want. I want indoor plumbing. I need a hotel. I want hot water access. I don't want to be. Quote him glamping to me is a fucking cabin with indoor heated plumbing like that. That's, that's what I need and I want for that many days Thursday, fridays, thursday night, friday night, saturday night, sunday night, monday's the event.
Speaker 2Monday day's, the event, like around noon. So, no, thank you. Not interested then to find out that there might be a storm? Absolutely not, I would. I would have been like I'm not going. That was three hundred dollars, fuck it, I'm not going, I will stay in. I um, I'm not, I'm not going to go to a muddy rural area in texas to see the moon cover the sun. Granted, granted, it is an amazing opportunity for us in this area for it to happen so perfectly close and in the path of totality, brutality, which doesn't happen often, and it's just, it's not like I again, ideally I'd want to go, I'd want to be there, um, but just that whole festival outdoor thing turned me off completely yes, I mean you couldn't get a hotel right now if you tried.
Speaker 1Uh, that reminds me I have a really good friend of mine. Her daughter plays collegiate volleyball did I say that correctly, trying to sound cool? Plays volleyball for a college and they have a tournament out there in a nearby town. And she just asked me today and she was like jay, like did you say there's something going on? I was like, oh yeah, it's the festival. She goes. I can't find a hotel to save my life. She goes even the ghetto comfort, in no offense, if that's your choice. Hotel is like $200, $300 a night. And I'm just like, yeah, good luck. But I know up here now that I'm over here in DC. Of course we're going to have a slight version of it, but we're not going to have near total, um, totality at all. But hey, it is what it is, but the day off will work for itself.
Speaker 2Thank you, universe, for that like you know, and, and I, one of my um um employees was like requesting the day off, and I'm like, nice, try, bitch, I'm gonna get it off. And then it didn't work out for me and um, and so I was like, okay, fine, you could be off whatever, and um, so I gave her the day off, so I don't, she's not like festival-y, so I don't even know what the hell she's gonna do or what her family has planned or whatever, but I'm just kind of like it's not like anywhere, like san antonio, it's not. We're like on the the corner of it, so we're not going to get the totality at all, um, but you know there's there's a lot of things that are so happening to happen at this moment that don't involve the solar eclipse, but the timing is strange. Did you hear about these trillions of locusts that are about to come out from the ground? Where is? Like around ohio, like northern midwest?
Speaker 2okay, girl, let me tell you cicadas, right, whatever they're calling them locusts is what I saw, and they've been underground for 200 years yeah, they're calling them locusts and I think they're equating it to the whole biblical terms which makes, which makes sense if you believe in those conspiracies sometimes I do.
Speaker 1But, um, I was, I don't say panicking, but the other day I am like writing to work and I'm listening to this news story and they're talking about like east coast, east coast, east coast. I'm like are you fucking kidding me? The time moved to the east coast and we're gonna be, you know, just covered with these cicadas. Um, no, luckily, no, luckily. I think it's a 17-year-old brood.
Speaker 2For the first time since 1998, adjacent 13 and 17-year-old broods will emerge in the same year. And you're right, they're the cicadas. And it says it will be the first time in 221 years that two types of cicadas brood Roman numeral and brood Roman numeral have risen from the ground at the same time. It's making me revel in it even more. This is happening. It's not happening in texas, it's not. But I'm just kind of like it's giving these conspiracy theorists like so much ammo and like strength right now. It's kind of. It's kind of making me giggle like all these TikTok things. I went down this rabbit hole on like the world bending and the solar eclipse is going to cause this earthquake because the energy that's pulling from the moon at the same time as the sun and the stress it's going to cause on the tectctonic plates are gonna cause like a super volcano to go off and all of this like crazy, delusional nonsense that I'm just like what else?
Speaker 1thank you 2024 and for giving me like my bingo card is nearly full with what's already been going on yes, um, it's funny how you say you give out these conspiracy theories, because I think that sometimes I okay, I don't want to say I'm a conspiracy theorist by any chance but I get really like pulled in some of these conspiracy theories and I follow them and I don't know. I mean, can you?
Speaker 2understand what are you talking about.
Speaker 1I've been, of course, like the whole China taking over the the rules ending one based after the Obama's movie that came out of the the world behind, um, yeah, even way back with the uh, beyonce and the Illumin illuminati thing. You know, I was like way steep in the doubt when the britney murphy conspiracy theory, how she knew too much, or the hashtag kate gate, or hashtag where's kate middleton. I was waist deep in those conspiracy theories and I don't want to say I believe them, but I get heavily fixated on them.
Speaker 2They're entertaining because they're very entertaining and I'm just like who really like believes, like that, that's like to that deep, like okay, flat earthers, like chill the fuck out. Like you know, the moon is made of is a satellite and aliens operate out of it. There's reptilian creatures that live below the crest of the earth and their home base is in antarctica. I'm like if they're reptilian that's full-blooded, they'll freeze and die. Like that's not and they're like no, you get closer to like the center of the earth and it's hollow and there's like a sun in there, and I'm like oh, my God, you're talking about a flat earther, right?
Royal Family Conspiracy Theories
Speaker 1Yes, okay, flat earthers. Okay, I have to commend their dedication because I witnessed a conversation one time of a very intelligent person speaking to another very intelligent person who happened to be a flat earther. Very intelligent person who happened to be a flat earther, and for everything I mean the person who bring up the horizon, the round earth, the space photos, gravity, for everything that this normal person brought up, I should say brought up, the flat earther had a very obviously it's not fucking delusional, but had a rebuttal. A rebuttal, it's like like there was, there was nothing you could say, that a flat earther didn't have a clear, sound, solid response for those flat earthers. Those flat earthers, they, they have hats off to them.
Speaker 2Yeah, yeah, no, I mean the whole ice wall and um, the reptilians have like everyone in power and they're like their relatives or something and I'm like, listen, we all have like an elderly aunt or uncle that does look reptilian. It's because they're not lotioning up and like lathering on.
Speaker 1How dare you? I feel attacked right now?
Speaker 2No, no, not you, just your elbows every now and then. But not no, but for real.
Speaker 1Okay, for real. So, like, as everyone knows, I've been in hotels for the last month and I have toiletries that are offered to me there, such as lotion. So then I get to my apartment. I've been here in my apartment now for four days and barely yesterday I was like I have to go buy lotion because I was so ashy because I hadn't owned any. I hadn't needed to, because my hotel had been providing it.
Speaker 2So here I am at Trader Joe's at 9 o'clock at night, right before they close, buying a bottle of lotion, so I don't get um mistaken for reptilian creature, oh my god so. Oh my god. So the whole hotel thing. That reminded me of something.
Speaker 2So when I was younger, when I first got in the industry, way back when, um, they sent me off to Dallas for training for a week, and so they sent me up in a hotel and I would drive to the property and whatever anywho. So every day that I would leave for work to go um to my training, I would take all the toiletries and put them in my bag, and so there wouldn't be any there, and so then the next day they would replenish it, and so I would. I would do that like I had one of those big like ziploc bags, like full of, like travel toiletries that I just like used, like for traveling for the next like two or three years, that I I had that many that I had collected over, like my my eight day trip that I was on over there.
Speaker 1So you're the reason why now they put the pool size bottles mounted to the walls. It is because of people like you. How?
Speaker 2dare you. I don't know what hotels you're going to, that do that. But the ones that I also go to have very top-notch brand name for blah blah blah hotel like.
Speaker 1So no, nice try okay um, I do have to say I used to do what you did with it also, but I would do it for my guest rooms. I always for the most part everywhere I've lived always had a guest room, sometimes even a guest bathroom if I had more than one bathroom, and I would always put these small bottles of the hotel stuff in there. That way they could use that if they didn't bring their own.
Speaker 2So that's what I would keep mine for well, I used mine for traveling and then I would collect that like, like, and then if there was still something, and especially if I was traveling with people, I didn't want to use the tiny ones that they were using too like one shampoo, and they're like done. So I'm like why are you using so much and like you don't even have like go ahead, you don't even have hair. Why are you using all the conditioner? I'm sorry that wasn't your deal.
Speaker 1I'm attacked here once wasn't your view. I'm attacked here Once again, coming on here every week just to get bullied.
Speaker 2It has to stay the same. We can't change it all of a sudden just because you're not in the same city as I am.
Speaker 1Never, Never, Okay. So let me ask you, AJ did you ever follow? Did you follow the hashtag KateGate about Kate Middleton?
Speaker 2So I saw some of the things about it. So so, tell me what you know and then, like, like, help me clarify, like what, what did?
Speaker 1you hear, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know anything. So, okay, I did come across this one individual who does well. He's a conspiracy theorist, I guess, but I trusted him because the way he would do it is he would, while feeding us his own personal conspiracy, he would also play into the things that are correct, or other people's inaccurate ones. You know, he'd like well this. He'd be like well one person's reporting reporting that Kate is not in this car because the brick on the other side of the window is different than the brick behind the car, he's like, but in fact, if you look at Google Maps, you'll see there's a short wall. So he crushes other people's conspiracies.
Speaker 2Okay.
Speaker 1I'm thinking, if he's crushing conspiracies and I'm going to trust his conspiracy, okay, he got me. There are just so many conspiracies and I'm going to trust his conspiracy, okay, got me. Uh, there are just so many conspiracies. Another one was saying that the he's trying, him and kate are going to try to get separated or divorced because they never in history has a reigning king or queen divorced their spouse while reigning. Um, another one.
Speaker 1And the reason why okay, I'm sorry, another theory that came up is why this whole thing was not planned is because they came out, the palace, the real people, the royals, whatever they are. They came out and said hey, kate is having a planned abdominal surgery, right, you remember that? Yeah, cool, but all the charities that she runs had no idea that she was going to be not attending events and whatnot. So if it was planned, then why didn't any of the charities that she knew that she worked very, very closely with have any idea? So that would kind of allude to the fact that it wasn't planned whatsoever. It was all unplanned. Then the other thing is go ahead. No, no, no go.
Speaker 1So then the other thing is you know, everyone is speculating. It's all over the tabloids. Everyone is speculating and they could have squashed all these rumors with one hospital bed video, one clip, anything saying hey, things aren't going good right now, we'll get back to you when we can, but they didn't. Then she just comes out and says I have stomach cancer, we're working with it. Also, keep in mind, there have been eyes on the royal family 24-7, just like there's eyes on our president 24-7, right. So there's eyes on the royal family 24-7. The entire time Kate was in the hospital allegedly in the hospital will only went one time. I saw that that he would only visit her one time. Now how does that make any sense?
Speaker 2so okay. So one of the things that I heard about that um was that Kate Middleton's sister, Peppa, yes was married to this guy who apparently died. Did you see or hear about that?
Speaker 1No.
Speaker 2So he had some kind of like head injury and was found dead on his parents' estate and when they went to go look for him, the last known person that was with him was Prince William. So what they're alluding to is that there may have been some kind of exchange between them and what was insinuated was that Kate may have had an affair with that gentleman and when Will went to go approach or bring it up or talk to him about it, there may have been some kind of scuffle and he ended up killing him is what was alluded to. That whole conversation, which, um, um which is why the stories about him having an affair has been so prominent lately is because it's always okay for the men to do it and never the women. And the fact that it was Princess Kate and with the brother-in-law was which made it worse, because apparently Prince William had always had a certain fondness for Peppa or some kind of thing, is what I recall the hearsay saying. But did you hear any of that?
Speaker 1No, I didn't. However, to play into what you just said, I don't know if about Harry's book Spare. So in his book he talks about how violent and short-tempered William is, that they've gone over and gotten in aggressive altercations at the initiation of William. So what would?
Speaker 2you say Describe my face right now, describe my face right now.
Speaker 1Describe my face right now utter shock. So that, combined with the conspiracies you just heard, makes me kind of lean towards a little something. Something may have actually happened behind the scenes, I know. So I feel like we should start our own conspiracy theory.
Speaker 2Oh my god, I'll kill myself gossip left and right, but all like, what is it that they alleged, alleged, allegedly, um, but yeah, that's one of the ones that I had heard about, um, and then she finally came out and was like please mind your own fucking business. Like I have cancer and my family wants our privacy, which I completely respect, um, but then it's also like so, but what is going on?
Conspiracy Theories and Predictions
Speaker 1you know what I mean, see, and that is the only thing that if she had said anything else, I'd have been like bullshit, bullshit. But I just think enough people, or just think a human being Like you don't lie about cancer. You know what I mean. And I'd like to think that, no matter what the fuck is going on, don't use you're going to jinx yourself If she doesn't have cancer. She's just using that to get you know the world to feel sorry for her, to like you. You know, lay off all the hashtag. Where's kate then? Sure, but I don't think anybody in the right mind would lie about having cancer or having had cancer. So hopefully what she's saying is true. Unfortunately, because if she is lying about it, then I hope she gets what she has coming for her oh, oh, my god, that's fair to say, but wow, that was really vicious.
Speaker 2So to go on on our wild, delusional discussion of conspiracies. Nostradamus I'm sorry what? Nostradamus, who is the 16th century prophet? Do you know anything about Nostradamus?
Speaker 1Oh no, I don't Tell me everything. Are you being sarcastic?
Speaker 2I'm not being sarcastic, I'm not.
Speaker 2So in the 16th century there was this prophet named Nostradamus, who, um. There's very wild stories that um and you know they always spoke in riddles and then you know it's up to us to kind of decipher them ourselves. And there were several things that did end up coming true. Several things that did end up coming true and um, according to this um, that some of the things that he had um predicted that did come true, um were, uh, the war in ukraine, the death of the queen, I mean that was inevitable no, but like no, no, no, he's from the 16th century, not of this era, and he claimed the year that the female monarch was gonna die.
Speaker 2Oh, okay, that makes more sense.
Speaker 1I thought you were just saying, like the queen's gonna die, that the female monarch was going to die. Oh, okay, that makes more sense. I thought you were just saying, like the queen's going to die. I'm like girl, we're all going to die, but good one on there.
Speaker 2So one of the things and this is how he wrote it it said writing 450 years earlier, the French astrologer seemed to have predicted the end in for him unusual date-specific terms the year 1,999,. Seven months From the sky shall come, a great king of terror shall be revived, the great king of Angomois, before and after Mars, shall reign, as chance will have it. So all of that nonsense people came to gather that it was. The invasion of Europe from the east was imminent, was imminent, um, whether it was by the russians or chinese or genghis khan, or um the dothraki hordes, um coming in, um, but he was the way he would like write it and name it. It seems very, very, um, uh different.
Speaker 2So, um, one of the other things was um seven months, the great war, people dead of evil doing like you know it's. It's just like some of the things, and that was kind of referencing um, um hitler and like all of that nonsense, um that that he did, but like, mind you, this is like the 1500s that this old man in like a hooded cloak I'm sure is how I'm picturing him was looking at the stars and just started like writing riddles.
Speaker 2And 500 years later we're like trying to decipher and we're like well, that's what that means, like you know, like something along the lines of like the great twins will fall and then they're like that was 9-11, like you know what I mean. Like there's just so much like riddling that is done that people just decipher and try and make so it's's like. So were those actual predictions or were those just very aloof, like far off vague ideas that people are just trying to like make, seem or like make sense of it? You know?
Speaker 1okay, I've actually never heard of that, but that does sound fascinating. It kind of I know we've been a lot of horoscope and astrology talk but uh, it kind of just makes me think of the whole, like when people read a horoscope and be like, oh my god, that's so accurate, that's so true, that's so real. You know it's because of this, so I guess kind of the same thing. But I mean, at the end of the day, we all interpret it that way and people all agree. And then we want to go back and say this person was a prophet and was brilliant and once he gets validated once or twice, everything that person ever said is going to be deemed as accurate in gospel, right, right.
Speaker 2I mean, there's just so many things I'm just like scrolling through there. There's just like so many like the way and again, just the way he would word it. It just makes no sense to me, but like people are trying to make sense of it. You know, like, even like I think there was this like book Gosh I, something about one of Donald Trump's great great uncles of some sort was a time traveler and he stole Nicholas Nikola Tesla's like ideas and stuff like that. And then there was a book about a man named mr trump and had a son named baron or something like like it was so off the wall, like I'm telling you, I went on this like rabbit hole on tiktok and I was just like what the fuck is all this nonsense? It's so crazy uh, gregory delusion?
Speaker 2I've never heard about any of that I'm surprised um that you haven't heard of um mr domus. He's a very um I don't know. I thought, very like pop culture, very like um, that people would have known what all that is.
Speaker 1But did you ever hear about the anne hathaway conspiracy theory? Excuse me, please, please, damn it, hoping you would say yes because no, okay, because I find it very interesting. Look it up right now. I find it very interesting and I don't remember a lot of the details, unless your next question is what happened. But they're pretty much saying that anne hathaway was, is, is, a reincarnation of another actress and if you actually go back and you look at these side-by-sides, it's stunning, it's ridiculous about how their similarities and the names are even similar, the birthdays. I think this person's date of death is somehow very strongly correlated to Anne Hathaway's date of birth.
Speaker 2What I just found was Anne Hathaway's husband, Adam Shulman, is a reincarnation of the late poet William Shakespeare.
Speaker 1That I had not heard. This is amazing also.
Speaker 2This is also amazing, wait a minute and that he looks very similar to him, apparently on a side-by-side.
Speaker 1Well, yeah, but keep looking at Diana Hathaway. I think that's another reason why they say she never really ages, looks so young, has been so successful. She kind of came out of nowhere and she essentially sold her soul to get what she wanted. It's um, it's, it's pretty, it's, it's pretty ridiculous. I, I was really into that one. I just I remember many details of it.
Speaker 2It's been a long time since I have looked into that one yet the one that I'm referencing or not referencing, the one that I kind of came to mind when I what I thought you were going to say was the one I thought you were going to say about Taylor Swift.
Speaker 1Oh, Taylor Swift and Emily Dickinson no.
Speaker 2No, no, so that apparently there was this. He wrote this something LaVey. He was this anarchist Satanist that wrote a book about Satanism or something, um, about um Satanism or something. His daughter, zina LeVay power and money, and that she is taylor swift is what I had come across one time okay.
Speaker 1Well, I just saw that taylor swift, I believe, is emily. Emily dickinson's a poet, right? Is that correct?
Speaker 2I think so, or she wrote books okay, something like that.
Speaker 1But she's like seventh removed or ninth, a ninth cousins or something of emily dickinson and it was this big, huge thing, because you know, taylor sift is apparently such a great poet. But then I thought, aren't we all like seven or nine people away? I mean, you remember the seven degrees of separation or seven degrees of Kevin Bacon? It is ridiculous, can?
Speaker 2you see this.
Speaker 1AJ is showing me.
Speaker 2AJ, describe what you're showing me of Taylor Swift and the Zina Lavey who they look suspiciously familiar, eerily similar.
Speaker 1It's very much a Taco Bell and Del Taco comparison.
Speaker 2Ah, so I don't even know how dare you say Del Taco on the same page as taco bell. They look way more similar to that, maybe like del taco and taco. Cabana is what I would say. Did I tell?
Speaker 1you about. So we all know about my obsession with taco bell, right? So who does? I'm exactly so. I'm on my google maps of the night just looking at things that are around. Actually, I was trying to find a gay bars because apparently there's two very popular gay bars right within blocks of my apartment. So I'm looking and I see there's a talk about cantina. You know what that one is right in here, the cantinas. Yeah, okay, on the same block as my building. I'm fangirling this 11 o'clock at night. I'm like I'm going first thing tomorrow when I get off work and I'm super excited. Um, it's just not updated on google maps yet, but it's actually closed down. It's something. It's completely something else. It's like a 90 second pizza place place or whatever, and I was like that was, it's also good.
Speaker 1Let's just say it's good there's not a Taco Bell on my block.
Speaker 2Yeah, so am I, but I did hear about that they're going to have a zesty Dorito-flavored one or something. That's what I heard.
Speaker 1I already had it. If you're a Rewards member, you get early access to some of their menu items, and I've already tried the new ones that are coming out. They're pretty tasty. Well, aj, oh, my god, I have one personal story to tell you before we get off. Here there is a McDonald's. I mean, if you guys hadn't noticed, I'm in my apartment now, finally, it is completely empty. I feel if you guys hadn't noticed that I'm in my apartment now, finally, it is completely empty. I feel like a college teenager because I just have a mattress laying on the floor.
Speaker 2That is all I own, right now, that is giving top energy vibes, though, like it's giving young top energy vibes. It's giving.
Speaker 1I'm gonna top the fuck out of you and leave you and not call you back and not call you back exactly well, that is, that is my apartment right now. But anyways, there's uh, I'm looking and there's a mcdonald's in my building, like attached to my, my building. Like, oh, this is cool, but I was judging people. So, my, I have a concierge on my front desk and they collect all of our packages and deliveries. And I noticed when I was moving in I saw a lot of mcdonald's deliveries. Then, later on the evening, I was like, wait a minute, if there's a mcdonald's literally attached to the building, why are people having their food delivered? That's so dumb. I, I'm like those lazy ass people, whatever.
Speaker 1So the next morning I wake up, I'm like, you know, I'm going to get up, I'm going to go for a walk before work, I'm going to get my morning coffee and I go. Keep in mind I live in a nice part of town during the day, well, it's also cold outside. I walk into this McDonald's. I mean I feel like I'm Lea Michele walking down Broadway. I walk in and I'm like I'll have one. Next thing, you know, I am bombarded by homeless people. They're asking for everything and I thought I will be nice, I'll buy one, a cup of coffee.
Speaker 1Biggest mistake. I mean they all come from different backgrounds, it's whatever, no judgment. I bought one one cup of coffee and I had them literally grabbing my shoulders. I could buy them all a cup of coffee and I ended up not getting anything. I ended up leaving the place. Now I realize this is why people are having their food delivered to the apartment. Definitely is I know. Definitely is I know, I know. But, aj, it's been great, it has been fun. I am now going to be up to all hours of the morning looking at this Taylor Swift conspiracy theory. So, thank you, thank you for that. You're the reason why I won't have any rest tomorrow morning and the bags under my eyes will be even bigger.
Speaker 1They're not big but um, thank you so much. I cannot wait.
Speaker 2We have to discuss some personal plans in the near future absolutely, but um, thank you for having me and everyone go look this up and follow us on insta at dose of delusion. Um, you could follow myself, aj the silver fox, and you could follow jay at 100 shades of cray. And um, we'll talk to you next time bye, bye now bye.
