The Ramblings of an Insomniac
Can’t sleep? Neither can I! This podcast is a peek inside my head. My crazy, sleep deprived brain. The rambling conversations I have with myself that keep me awake at night.
I use my IPHONE. I walk around, rambling into it. Wondering around my property, neighborhood or wherever.
You hear everything. My dogs, coyotes, crickets, birds. You hear unedited, life. You never know, who or what may interrupt?
I keep my opinions, emotions and my podcast, uncensored . I discuss politics, government, mental health, addiction, family, love, dog training, America…life. I talk things out. Working my life out in real time with an audience. Or at least, I HOPE?
Look, this is NOT a professional podcast. It’s poor quality. My intro and outdo music somehow, faded into the ether? I had both. Now they’re gone. This podcast is not for the faint of heart. If you need safe rooms, I may not be your gal?
You will either like it? Or not? I hope you like it? Only one way to find out…
The Ramblings of an Insomniac
I Won’t Comply…
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Today I discuss compliance. When the government or groups of people want you to comply. If our governors try to force masks, vaccinations etc again, how are you going to handle it? Speaking for myself, I will deal with it the same way I dealt with COVID. I will not comply.
I also take the time to remind people they STILL aren’t special. Too many people having the impression they’re super awesome. You aren’t. I assure you.
I talk about consequences and accountability. Racism, prejudice and people that refuse to apologize. Why do people have such a difficult time, apologizing? Whatever happened to humility? Respect? Accountability? Why is it so hard to admit you aren’t perfect?
I go on about rights, entitlement and people that feel they’re deserving of more than others. That feel they should be allowed special treatment. I am over groups of people that feel they should be null and void of accountability.
Last, I talk about the reason I started my podcast. I have discussed this multiple times. But it is the soul reason I started this show. So, I’m bringing the topic up again. COVID and the insane, ridiculous policies that unalived innocent people. That made people die alone, scared and unnecessarily.
What’s keeping me up? Guilt and sadness over my mom’s death. Being angry over policies put in place during COVID. And people having zero accountability. Those that feel they’re exempt of rules? Feeling they’re extra special….
Hello and welcome to another episode of the Ramblings of an Insomniac. I am Courtney. Hello, hello. Good morning party people. How the heck is everyone doing? What are you up to today? What are your plans? Maybe your day is done. Maybe it's the evening. Are you going out? I don't know. What is today? Tuesday? It's Tuesday on my end anyway. Um, I don't know if Tuesdays happen in night. Honest to God, I think Wednesdays, at least where I am, Wednesdays have become the new weekend. It's all of a sudden cool to go out on hump day. Maybe because they're planning on getting a little and they're being cool, you know, hump day and they want to get a little. I don't know. Maybe it's just the middle of the week and they've had it already, and they're like, I ain't gonna make it the rest of this week. I can't do the rest of this week if I don't go out and blow off some steam. Hey, Henry's blowing off some steam now. He agrees, he's ready, he's ready to rock and roll. He has a lot to say. I don't have a whole lot to say. I have some things to say, but I kind of went into this with like a little couple of notes, a couple of things I wanted to touch on. And often um, I have noticed whenever I do that, it turns into a longer podcast than the times that I do have a script and I feel like I'm like really passionate about something, or I'm really upset or sad or whatever, and I feel like those are gonna be the longer podcasts, and somehow they end up being shorter. I don't know. So we'll see. We shall see how long of a podcast this turns out to be. We shall see if anybody falls asleep. I hope nobody falls asleep during my podcast. I mean, unless that's your goal. I mean, again, I'm not offended if you listen to my podcast because you're an insomniac like I am, and maybe my voice is just so soothing you can fall asleep. I doubt it. I don't have a soothing voice, but you know, or maybe I'm so boring that I put you to sleep. Who knows? I'm not offended. If you're using my podcast to fall asleep, you can use me. I'll be your I'll uh be your sleep ho. You can use me. That's fine. Um, if that's what makes you download my podcast and listen to it, I'm not ashamed of that, actually. I don't know if I should be or not, but anybody can listen to my podcast for any reason they want. You I can't control the reasons that you listen to my podcast, nor do I want to, you know. I'm not a dictator. You do you, like I always say, you do you, Scotty P. It's one of my favorite lines. I love that movie, We Are the Millers, or We're the Millers, whatever. If I love it so much, I should probably know the exact name of the title. But that movie makes me laugh so forking much. I don't know why, but it cracks my shit up. I just find it hysterical. And I love that line. And I love no regrets, no regrets, really, not even a letter. Love it. Good line, good line. Um anyway. Hi, welcome, welcome. I am so stinking excited about people from all walks of life. Well, I don't actually know if people from all walks of life are listening to my podcast, I just know people from all different countries are listening to my podcast. So not only people from here in the United States, but I have people from whole ass other countries listening to my podcast. That is awesome. I genuinely, it makes me so happy I can't even tell you. Again, I run out of words and cool ways and unique ways to say how grateful and thankful I am for everybody that tunes in, whether it's from the very beginning or just now hearing, you know, listening to my podcast. I don't know another awesome way to say thank you, other than to just say thank you, thank you, thank you, honestly. Um tell a friend, tell a neighbor, check out my YouTube. I get censored a lot because I'm a loudmouth and I say um my opinion. There was a meme I just posted that said I'm gonna butcher it, but it the the gist of it was um basically I've always said what I wanted to say. Um, social media isn't gonna stop me because I always say wild, that's what it is. It's something like I always say wild shit. I'll always say wild shit on social media, but I'll always say wild shit close up in person with eye contact to your face. And it's like, yeah, I grew up in that Generation X era where we didn't have the internet, and when we said something, we said it directly to people. I'm not saying we were confrontational, I'm not saying we started fights, I'm just saying that we didn't have a computer to protect us. We couldn't say things from, you know, the basements of our home knowing that nobody would, you know, find out who we were. So therefore we could talk a bunch of smack and talk a big talk, but we actually had to back it up. If we were gonna talk smack, it meant it was face to face. And we either had to know how to fight or know how to communicate well and know how to resolve issues well, or we got our asses beat. You didn't get to just go around and have carte blanche to just say and do whatever the hell you want, and then decide that if you didn't like something, you could like torch it and you know burst it all into flames like a fucking movie. Like who decided that was okay? I blame George Floyd. I honestly that's when all this shit started going down. People started deciding that we are going to fight violence with violence, I don't know. Or we're gonna debunk common sense, we're gonna debunk silence, we're gonna debunk opinions and freedom of speech. Not debunk it, but we're going to somehow act like those things are dirty words and that only certain people are entitled to them? Doesn't that kind of if you're sitting there saying only certain people are entitled or deserving of certain rights, then doesn't that make you the prejudiced one? Isn't that the entire definition of being prejudiced or you know, I can't say racist because racist is against a particular race, being prejudiced against a race, but aren't you being prejudiced against anybody and anybody that thinks differently than you while you're preaching intolerance? I've said this 10,000 times. This is not a new concept, a million people say this all over the internet, and yet I haven't met a single person from the left that can give me an answer to this. Of course, they say the same things like, I hate Trump, you're racist, you're a bigot. And I'm like, No, I'm asking you how it is. Give me the definition of racist and then now tell me that what you just did and how you believe and that your thought process right now isn't racist. And they're like, Well, because I hate Trump. Oh, I get it. So if you hate a certain person, that now makes you null and void of accountability of the law. You no longer have to respond to the law. You don't have consequences or accountability if you dislike Trump. That gives you just carte blanche, you get a VIP membership to just do whatever the hell you want. I don't understand. Again, doesn't that now make you now you are saying that you get special rights, you get special privileges, you are now being privileged, you now have a privileged card, an entitled card. And who's deserving? Isn't deserving a matter of opinion? Deserving is not a fact. I'm sorry, but the word deserving is not a fact. You can't prove that someone is deserving. It is a it's an opinion. You can sway someone to that opinion, and entitled is kind of the same thing. And according to who? According to you, well, maybe according to Sally Sue, you're not entitled. So who's right? How do you prove entitlement unless we're talking about like who owns a house or who owns property? But when it comes to more deserving of rights, if you're claiming that someone is more deservant of rights than someone else, aren't you in fact the culprit? I'm just curious how you're trying to say that everybody else is prejudiced and racist when you're sitting here saying that certain groups of people get to destroy things and burn things and commit crimes or get reparations or whatever it is, but other groups of people do not get those same rights. Tell me how that's not prejudice, tell me how that's not racism if you're referring to a certain skin color that you feel gets to do that. Just a question for you to mill around, something for people to think about. I'm just wondering, and how it is that also, again, that certain groups of people can make it okay, okay for me and not for thee, or whatever it is. I just don't subscribe to that. You know what I'm saying? Hey, let's get over here, guys. Gwenny Gwenny, fuck. Anyway, it's crazy, you know. I'm saying it's cray cray. I haven't said that in a while, just felt like saying it. I didn't even like cray cray when it was cool, but I just felt like saying it, you know. Nostalgia. Throwback Tuesday. Anyway, you know what else is on my mind? This whole Hontavirus or hantavirus or whatever the hell kind of virus people are pulling out their asses these days. Listen, I'm gonna tell you something right now. Did not wear a mask or get vaccinated uh before. I am absolutely 4,000% not gonna do that now. Although, thankfully, we have an administration that I doubt very highly is going to force those things upon us the way the Biden administration did. Now, people are gonna be like, oh no, Trump was Trump was president during COVID. Trump, um, Trump was president during COVID for about seven months. So the other three and a half years, the other like three years, was Biden. So yes, Trump was president for a very small portion of COVID, and then it was Biden for the other three years, and it was the Biden policies that I have an issue with. And so, um, you know, again, I 4,000% blame Biden policies and Kate Brown for my mom's death. That's why I did this podcast. Mother's Day was incredibly hard for me because I fully believe my mom would be around had it not been. Now, people are gonna go, didn't you say she had COPD? Didn't you say she had dementia? Okay, maybe, maybe after four years she might not be around. But she certainly wouldn't have died the horrible way she did, and I would have had a lot more time, and we would have got through the COVID thing, and I would have been able to touch her and hold her and hug her and look her in the eyes. Things that I was denied. And had I not completely disregarded the law and walked on in to the memory care facility and flat out said, I'm going to go see my mom. If you feel the need to arrest me and call the police, 1000% you do you. Call the police. I'm still going to go see my mom. And again, I always always say this in their defense. They did not call the police the first like three times I did it, because I did it three times. And then on the fourth time, they're like, no, for real, we are. And I believed them. And I tried to respect them because I also know that they're just following procedure and I don't want them to get in trouble. I understand that they didn't make the rules. I get it. Um, I get that I can't blame them for following the rules. Um, but I can 1,000 percent and do, I do for the record, 10,000 trillion percent blame the Democrat policies that were put in place um during the Biden administration for my mom dying at the time she did and how she did. She died of being severely, severely septic. She was severely septic because she had a catheter, and the catheter never ever got cleaned or changed, and she never got to go see the urologist because they were so short-staffed everywhere that she didn't have transportation. And the nurses at all these doctor facilities kept changing her appointments, kept canceling her appointments. We'd have an appointment. Um, I would figure out transportation because I couldn't get her in and out of my car. Unfortunately, it was very, very, very difficult for her to get into and out of my car. And I was working full time. I was still working during COVID. So I had after my work or my three days off that I could take her to appointments, which I did, but it was, like I said, extraordinarily difficult to get her in and out. So she was supposed to take transportation that the facility provided, but the urologist kept on having to cancel her appointments because people couldn't show up because they were getting turned away because they had COVID or they didn't want to take the vaccination or whatever. So they were severely, severely short-staffed. Same with my mom's memory care facility, severely short-staffed. So nobody bothered to give her a shower for 10 days. I know that for sure because I got to visit her before the COVID rules were put in place. And then I, the day that I was like, fuck you, I'm gonna go see her. It was 10 days later, and she was wearing the exact same clothes and smelled and looked very obviously like she hadn't had a shower, which she was being charged for. She was being charged for it. So of course I threw a temper tantrum and I was like, no, you're not charging my mom for that. Also, how dare you have her sit in fucking filth? She sat in filth, she sat in her own urine. She had a catheter, but her catheter kept having issues. So they weren't cleaning it out. I don't even know if they had the degree or the knowledge to clean out her catheter. And they were so short-staffed because people either didn't want to get vaccinated or were being told that, you know, they still had COVID so they couldn't come in or whatever, or people were just taking advantage of it and just saying they had COVID and not wanting to work and instead cashing in on the obscene, obscene fucking amount of money that Biden was giving out and enticing people and promoting people to stay away so that everybody was short-staffed and businesses closed. So my mom could have nurses and CNAs and med techs and dietitians and housekeepers come in and visit her. They could talk to her, they could touch her, but I couldn't. I couldn't wear a mask in my mom's private room. She didn't have anybody with her. She was all by herself. So there was nobody else that I was like, you know, at risk, putting at risk. I wasn't putting anybody at risk. How come everybody else could touch my mom and I couldn't? Why couldn't the nurses, the CNAs, the dietitians, the med techs, why couldn't they give her COVID? Why weren't they a risk? Why weren't strangers a risk? But I was. How come I couldn't take the same precautions as them and go see my mom? No one's explained that to me yet. No one can give an answer as to why it's okay for a bunch of strangers to go into my mom's private room with nobody else there, why I couldn't wear a mask, wear gloves, sit six feet away and talk to my mom. Yet my mom and all the residents were allowed, though, to go out into public and go to grocery stores and touch grocery carts and be around a whole bunch of people and then go back to the facility. That was okay. It was okay to take people out in public and be around a billion other people touching a bunch of stuff, coming back to the facility. That was 100% logical and common sense somehow and approved by Democrats. And they were like, that sounds, that sounds very, very logical. It sounds super like a good idea and like very cool if people go around and big grocery stores are allowed to stay open, but mom and pop stores aren't. So stores that hold more people that have a larger capacity are allowed to stay open. But teeny tiny little mom and pop shops aren't because supposedly people can't stay six feet away. So they're not allowed to let just a couple of people in at a time, the way that they did at Home Depot in Walmart, where they were like had counters on the outside counting supposedly how many people and not allowing people in until more people left. So you couldn't implement those same policies with mom and pop stores because somehow COVID affected mom and pop stores differently than large stores. This was the brain thought. The brain thought was you could unleash everybody out into public touching everything, but you couldn't go visit your dying loved ones in the hospital. Does that make sense to anybody? If it makes sense to you, you're fucking stupid. I'm sorry. I don't apologize for for saying that. You've got something wrong with you. And I need you to try to break that down in your head as to why you think that that's even a logical, reasonable, common sense, scientific way of thinking. You cannot tell me that a whole boatload of people being around my mom is okay, and you're not gonna get COVID, and that is somehow beneficial and helpful, and you're not gonna spread COVID. But me, just one person in a private room with my mom where I could also wear a mask, I could also wear gloves, I could also sit six feet apart in a private room with nobody else, I'm not allowed to do that. But a million other people can touch my mom, hug my mom, come and go in and out of her room and then go into other rooms. That's the other part that kills me. People are like, well, they wash their hands before they go into other rooms. Okay, I can do the same thing and so can everybody else. What nobody else is capable of washing their hands? Do we do we not know how to wash our hands? We we can't wear masks, we can't stay six feet away. People were kept away from their dying loved ones because of stupid, uneducated misinformation because of stupid people, because of evil people that wanted to capitalize on people dying. And no one finds that fucked up. I mean, a lot of people find it fucked up, but not enough. You would think everybody with a brain cell would find it really horrific that big pharma wanted people to die and get sick so that they could make money. They wanted a vaccination and they wanted a booster and a booster and a booster so they could continue to make money. And you don't find that a little terrible? I'm just confused by people out there that that are on board with this and find it cool and okay. It's very weird to me. Yeah, so I mean, now here they are. People are trying to come up with new viruses and new things, and there's always gonna be viruses. There's always gonna be illnesses. Don't be stupid. Wash your hands like a normal human being. Like when you sneeze, if you sneeze into your hand, don't be a disgusting person and go around touching everything and everyone with it. You're supposed to wash your hands, just like you're supposed to, like, I don't know, uh take your shirt and sneeze, like pull your shirt out and sneeze down to where your shirt covers your sneeze, or sneeze into your arm, or whatever. But be a normal person and if you're sick, stay home. Don't spread your cooties everywhere. Wash your hands, wear a mask. Why is this not the things that we go to? Why do we have to shut down America? This isn't the bubonic plague, people. This is not the bubonic plague, and even if it were, you would wash your hands, stay home, protect yourself, of course. But I don't understand during COVID why everybody was wearing masks in their cars, and why everybody was wearing masks if they weren't sick or if they didn't have an immunocompromised, you know, if they weren't immunocompromised. I just feel like so much misinformation was given, and now we've got these vaccines that were manufactured in two seconds, and then being told to put them into our bodies, crossing our fingers that there wouldn't be side effects. There's always side effects to anything you're going to put into your body, to anything. No matter what that is, there could be. I mean, there could be. You never know. And yet you're gonna just willingly, willy-nilly put something into your body that you don't know yet what the side effects are that they manufactured in two seconds. I don't I don't understand that. But again, if that was your choice, unlike some people, I'm fine with that. I don't give a rat's ass what you put in your body. It really doesn't affect my life in any way. Whatever you want to inject yourself with, um, I don't want you to inject yourself with drugs, I don't want you to inject Yourself with things that are gonna harm you. I don't wish that for you. I'm not encouraging you to do that. I'm not telling you to do that. I'm just saying if you decide after you have the information that you feel is necessary, if you feel you've done your research and you still want to inject yourself with XYZ, that's on you. I'm not your babysitter, I'm not your mom, I'm not your guardian. But back at you, don't tell me what to do either. Because I truly respect people's rights to do what they want with their body as long as it doesn't affect others. And me not having a vaccine does not affect you. Because if I feel that I'm sick, then I'll just stay home. I won't go out like you do with every other fucking thing. If you have pneumonia, you're usually not out walking around. If you have the flu and you're throwing up or you're sick, or you're just feeling, you know, you have the flu, you're normally not out walking around. Most people, most people, again, with common sense and respect and decency, don't just go walking around if they have the plague. That's you know, it doesn't mean you need to inject yourself with stuff. It means you you have common sense. We don't need to go to extremes. Just like if you believe that you are a dude and you really fully believe that, why do you have to go to an extreme? Why can't you just say, I identify as a dude, and then I don't know whatever you think a dude is. Because if you think being a dude, being a guy, just means, you know, I don't know, wearing a baseball hat and and hawk and logies, and I don't know, whatever the stereotypical things are for a guy. Um, women do those things too. Women fart, women burp. A lot of women like to, you know, wrestle and play in the mud. These are not man and women things. And the fact that you're calling something a man or a woman thing to do kind of makes you, again, the one labeling. You're segregating, you're putting labels, you are dividing people. You are. If you think doing certain things is a man thing to do or a boy, you know, or a girl thing to do, that is you putting labels. And I thought that we were equal and we could all do the same thing. So what difference does it make? If you truly, truly, truly, truly believe that men and women are equal, then what difference does it make to you at all if someone supposedly behaves like a man, behaves like a woman, or whatever? It doesn't matter at all what someone identifies with. No one cares about that. What people care about is when you force those things and you say, Well, because I believe I'm a man, I am going to force myself and my beliefs upon you and everybody else. That's where I draw the line. Because I'm not gonna force people to do things. It's weird. Again, how am I a bitchy, horrible, Nazi, racist bigot because I genuinely believe in freedom of speech? Because I don't want to force people to inject things into their bodies. If it is your body, your choice, then you better walk that walk and not just talk that talk, or that makes you a liar and a hypocrite. And no one's gonna value a liar and a hypocrite. What has happened to dignity? What has happened to respect and education? What has happened to humility and grace? I don't feel we have those things very often. I don't always give grace, I'm not always respectful. I can be an asshole, I can be judgmental. God knows I have said and done some things that I'm like, wow, that was not cool. But I'm also really, really tired of people getting mad when I say my opinion, and meanwhile, there's people out there burning things down and threatening my life, literally threatening my life, and when my mom was alive, telling me that they hope she dies. My mom didn't do anything to anybody. She's not on social media saying a fucking word. But they're threatening her life while claiming to be these peace-loving people and calling me evil. I'm sorry, that's wrong. Because I'm not threatening anybody. I don't threaten people, and I don't wish death upon people. And I'm certainly not trying to have people censored and forced to do things. So how am I the bad guy? These are questions that I ask people that never have an answer to it, other than again, the standard, well, you're just a bigot, you're a hateful. I'm like, I know you just said that, and I'm asking you why. And they can never answer. Never ever ever in the history of ever, in the history of all of social media, can you find a video with a liberal that actually answers that question without saying, you're a Nazi, you're a bigot, you're a racist, you're a homophobe, you're transphobic, I hate Trump, um, something like that. That's not answering a question. It's just calling names. Because they know they don't have a response, they know they're caught in the lie. And instead of just being a normal fucking person, why can't people just go, you know what, you're right. I did see a video once of that guy named Josh, I forget his name, but he's hilarious. He did go up to a guy who had a sign on the door that was anti-ICE, and he went up, and the guy at the end of the video said, You know what? You are right. I'm gonna take down that sign. And he took down that sign, and he genuinely meant it. He was like, I didn't think of that. You have a point. You are correct. I'm taking down my sign right now. And he did. That's the only video I've ever seen. I've never ever seen an apology or someone go, you know what, you're right. Why? It sucks being wrong. It doesn't feel good, it doesn't feel comfortable. Um, it's very uncomfortable. It's it's a yucky feeling to be wrong. It hurts your pride. God knows I'm a prideful person to a fault sometimes. Pride can be both a blessing and a curse. And let me tell you, I've had my pride bruised and I didn't like it. But who cares? Because we shouldn't be devaluing someone else and how someone else's opinions and someone else's beliefs and morals and being violent to others and not admitting we're wrong because we're too prideful. Because we can't, God forbid, have humility. God forbid we have humility, God forbid we accept that we just might not be perfect. Oh, I know that's a shocker for a lot of people. This is hard to hear for people. Hearing that they're not perfect or special because you're not special. To anybody out there who's listening that has been under the impression that there's some entitled, deserving, special person, you're not. And anyone that tells you that is ridiculous because you aren't. You are none of those things. There wouldn't be billions of people if we were special. The fact that there are billions with a B of humans makes us not special. That's the opposite of special. If there's a billion of something, that means it's not rare or special. And there are a lot of black people, white people, Asian people, Native American. I mean, not a lot, you know, obviously, depending on the race, there's more or less of each race. I'm just saying there's not more than one. It's not rare. And even people with green eyes, it's something like 2%. Don't quote me, I'm not giving that as a fact, but I know it's a very small percentage of people that are left-handed like me and green-eyed, not like me. I wish I were green-eyed. I love green eyes, but my kids have green eyes. Small percentage, not special though. Special would be a human that like knew how to fly. If you were a human and you could just all of a sudden fly, not with an airplane or a helicopter. I'm talking like you just sprouted wings. Or if you were a human that could, you know, live underwater without some kind of bubble, without some kind of oxygen and shit, that'd make you special. If you could turn water into wine, or like you know, turn things into gold, you'd be special. But being a human, being a woman, being Native American or Catholic or transgender or non-binary, none of those things make you special. They are one part, one part of the puzzle, one part of the equation that make you who you are. And if you are having your entire identity, your whole entire life and identity revolve around your penis or your vagina, wow. Weird, super creepy, super weird, and incredibly gross and narcissistic. And when I say that, I mean if your entire identity revolves around who you sleep with, meaning if you're non-binary, bisexual, gay, straight, a furry, whatever, if that's the only thing you have, that you have to celebrate it so much and put so much focus on it, that's sad. That's sad that you don't have a family you can focus on as much, or animals, or friends, or a job, or a charity that you can focus on as much as your penis or vagina. Because when you have parades about who you sleep with, that's very fucking weird to me. I I don't I don't get that. That's that's a lot of focus on vaginas and penises. Yeah, I'm saying vaginas and penises a lot because all that the left seems to talk about is sex, sex, sex, sex, sex, sex, sex, sex, penis, penis, vagina, vagina. Mutilate, mutilate, abort, abort. Those are the topics. It's weird. I I just why are we constantly forever focusing on one small aspect? You as a human are made up of so many things. Your gender, your race, your religion, if you have one, your um political um point of view, so many things. If you are a parent, if you are a spouse, if you are a sibling, if you what your job is, what your occupation is, you know. There are so many things that make you who you are. And if you're focusing on one small aspect like just your religion or just your sexuality, I find that sad and weird. Why don't you have other things that you can focus on? Where is your family in that equation? Where's your spouse? Where are your kids? Where are your friends in that equation? Where's your job in that equation? Where are your goals? Okay, so once everybody focuses on you, you have our attention, everybody had this is the funny thing is the LGBTQIA community, at least the very, very extreme community, keeps acting like they're not getting attention. And um, I'm sorry, do straight people get entire parades dedicated to their sexuality? Do they get an entire month dedicated to their sexuality? Do you get certain uh attention and a flag, an entire flag dedicated to their sexuality? And yet you still want more attention? You want more attention than that? Wow! Again, you're not very nice people, you're not taking care of anyone else but you. You are making everything and everyone focus on you at all times, and if God forbid they look away for a second and they don't find you special, and they're like, you know, I'm I get it, I just don't care anymore. I get it, we accept you. You got what you wanted. Why do you constantly need to bring up more shit? I am just tired. Sorry, I got sidetracked by a phone call and a bunch of commotion, but I guess I'm just incredibly, incredibly tired of the hypocrisy. I'm tired. Sorry if this is like totally different than the topic I was talking about, because I got a phone call while I was doing my podcast, and my dogs are freaking out because there's people along our fence line. When come, leave it. And so we got sidetracked by a bunch of stuff and a bunch of commotion. But at any rate, my point is this I don't force people to do things, and um if you're going to force me to do something while shouting that you don't want to be forced to do things, oh, that's what I was saying. If you're gonna have entire parades and things all for you while screaming that you're not getting attention, that's some serious bullshit. Go and come. Come on, let's go. That is some serious bullshit. It isn't remotely okay for you to complain about not getting enough attention while you're having entire parades and months and flags dedicated to your honor because there are many groups of people that do not have that same luxury. We're not walking around with an entire ass flag, we're not walking around with an entire ass month, we're not walking around with all parades and where you're allowed to. And again, why can you peruse around completely naked? Naked. There are naked parades, naked bicycle things, there are people dressed as furries in bondage crap in public streets with children around. But I'm not allowed though to flash someone in public. I'm not allowed to flash anybody in public. I'm not allowed to go pee in public. A guy isn't allowed to unzip his pants without even taking out his wiener and pee up against something without someone even seeing his penis and pee, because that's considered indecent exposure. But you can parade around completely naked and ride bikes and have a parade in Portland and many other places, and you can wear bondage stuff in front of children. And I'm talking naked people, I'm not saying that their areas are covered, their areas are not covered, and this is promoted. So that's called special privileges. That's called special. That's you being having special privileges that other people are not afforded. So don't tell me you're getting your rights taken away because, again, not a single liberal, not a single person that screams, my rights are being taken away. Oh my stars. Oh mercy, my life is over because I am just being ruined. My life, I have to stay inside because it's not safe for me to go outside. There's so many people threatening me. I can't get a job. I can't do anything without being threatened. Bullshit, you lying sack of crap. You're a fucking liar. And when you get called on it, you have no response. You can't think of a single goddamn thing. Not a single right has been taken away. Non rights. No rights, no rights. Now there's a difference between what you want and a right. See, there are constitutional rights, and none of your constitutional rights have been taken away. Again, a right is an opinion unless it's a constitutional right. Then it's a piece of paper and it's a fact. It's the fact that you have these rights. But um, when you just go, I have the right, okay. If you're talking about a constitutional right, yes. But if you're just talking about, I have the right to slap my kid, I don't know if you do. You may or may not. I have the right to force my opinions and beliefs on people. Do you? No, you actually don't. So what rights have been taken away? And again, not a single response other than you're a hateful, horrible bigot that hates everybody, you piece of shit, garbage. That is how closed-minded, unintelligent people argue. When you're an unintelligent person, when you are a closed-minded, deplorable, garbage human being, you pick on others and tell everybody that they're pieces of crap because you don't like their opinion. Now, I'll tell someone that I think they're a piece of crap because I don't like their character and I don't like who they are. I may call you a piece of crap. And that's based on my opinion of you as a human being, not because you are a liberal. I don't give a shit if you're a liberal. I have tons of friends that are liberals, love them dearly. Lots of Democrat friends love them dearly. We just don't talk politics. I don't think they're pieces of crap at all. I don't base who I like or base what I think of someone because of their political preference or their sexual orientation or their religious beliefs. I don't. Because I truly, truly, truly could not care less what you do in your free time as long as it does not affect me. But I gotta tell you, when you start forcing me to do things and it affects me, I care. And I will tell you I care, but I will do it in a super respectful way. I can have a calm conversation and I will. The only time I get snappy and a little cranky, and I'm not saying it's okay, is when someone starts attacking me and calling me names. And even then, usually I'll be like, okay, please give me an example of why I'm those things. I still won't get mad. I'll just say, please back up what you're saying with evidence and facts. I still don't get mad. But when I dislike someone, or if I say I think someone's a garbage human being, it's because they believe in a bunch of things that I think are what garbage human beings would believe in. Just like someone that doesn't like mega, doesn't like Trump supporters, believes that we're garbage human beings because they don't like our beliefs. And that's all fine and dandy. If you want to dislike someone, dislike someone. I don't think it's healthy, but I do it, we all do it, we're humans, we're not gonna like everybody. That's what people forget. Do you think we're gonna get rid of racism? Do you think we're gonna get rid of hate? Do you think it's going anywhere? No, because we are humans with brains and we all have our opinions, and we're always gonna have our opinions, and they're always, always going to be different than other people. We're not all gonna share the exact same opinion. I hope to God, I hope to God that never happens because that means we're robots. That means we're like an alien life form that is like melded together and that's weird and creepy. We shouldn't all be thinking the same things. We should have different opinions. That's what makes us again diverse. That's what makes this earth so awesome. So I hope and pray we never ever, every single person start thinking the exact same thing, but I do hope and pray that we stop offing people and assassinating people and bullying people and censoring people because they think differently. Pucky, go get your other ball. Where is it? Where's your white ball at? Where's the cool ball that we can't find? Where is it? And I know people heard me say, Oh, it's a white ball? Are you racist? I mean, that's honestly where we are nowadays, to where I just said, you know, go find your white ball. That's because she has a bunch of different balls. And I swear to God, this is how the world is nowadays. They're like, What? You have your dog go after a white ball and not a black ball? And I'd be like, Well, wouldn't you, wouldn't that be better? Because I'm white, because if I had a black ball, you guys would be like, oh, your dog's going after and biting a black ball. Like, honest to God, you guys are gonna be like, oh, roll eyes. People don't think like that. Yes, they do. That's how fucking weird the world has gotten. But I don't want to focus that on and focus on that anymore because I said over and over, I just want to focus on the good. I want to be happy, I want to focus on life and the good things we have. And the fact that, again, like Luke Bryant says, I believe most people are good. I really do. As much as I bitch and complain about all the assholes out there, there are far more good people. I'm around them, I see them, I talk to them, I talk to people that are Democrats, and I love them. Again, I genuinely have it's not one of those things where people go, I have a black friend, so I'm not racist. I have friends from all walks of life. Again, I base who people are, and if I'm friends with them or like them, on their morals and their character and so many things. I encourage other people to do the same. I hope we get to that place where we don't have to worry about our lives being threatened. We don't have to worry about the clothes we wear and someone on the living us for that. Gwen, where's your ball now? Where's your ball? You guys, where's the balls? Anyway, I so appreciate your tolerance of me. I can go on and on. Sometimes I can be boring, sometimes I can be hot headed and scream and yell. I get fired up. I say a lot of stuff. So if you're still hanging with me, if you're still with me, you are amazing. You fucking rock, you're amazing. You deserve a medal, you deserve a medal um for putting up with the fact that sometimes. I can talk fast. Sometimes I digress. You can uh I get sidetracked by a lot of things. But again, I do warn you about that. It's in the title, it's in my description. So be sure to read it. Because you're gonna get a lot of this, people. Anyway, thank you so much. I want to end with saying I am thankful. I am grateful. I'm working on giving grace. I try to, but I'm not perfect. I'm working on being more tolerant and patient, but I'm not perfect. But at least I'm working on it. All we can do is work on it, right? Can we just try? Try to focus on the things we can control and let go of the rest. Try to focus on the good people out there because man, the good people are not getting enough attention. Good people deserve, again, there's that word deserve, and I know I just said it's it's an opinion. So I feel, in my opinion, that good people are deserving of attention. I feel that good people are deserving of so many things. Come on, guys, come on, Henry. I feel that good people are deserving of people um treating them kind and giving them respect. I mean, everybody is deserving of respect and kindness, of course. Again, that's not pervy to certain groups of people. So let's do that. We can only be the best versions of ourselves, right? We can't worry about others. We need to worry a lot less about others and worry about ourselves. I mean, not ourselves as and be narcissistic. I don't mean that. I just mean let's focus on what we can change, what we can do to better ourselves. Let's focus on our family, let's focus on our friends, right? That's enough to focus on. We don't need all the other stuff. It's exhausting. It's so exhausting. And we can focus on my podcast, right? I appreciate you so much. I hope you continue to listen again. You can check me out on Instagram and YouTube and Facebook. Um so I appreciate you so much. I hope you have a wonderful and blessed day. Until next time.
