SPEAKER_03 0:15

I will be answering some questions now. Did I know that fame was gonna hit this hard? No. I didn't. But was I ready for it? Of course. Yes.

SPEAKER_00 0:24

When did you become famous?

SPEAKER_03 0:25

Oh, this week, when uh we dropped a big bomb on the social media world. Ah, yes.

SPEAKER_00 0:31

That's different than the bombs you've been dropping.

SPEAKER_02 0:33

I was shocked by that because I thought you guys weren't gonna do that.

SPEAKER_03 0:37

Uh you know what? We decided your wife took such great uh pictures, we could not do it. The world had to see it.

SPEAKER_00 0:43

Who had that final say?

SPEAKER_03 0:45

Kara wanted to, I didn't want to, so we compromised and we did. We did it. Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 0:49

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 0:50

Hi everybody. Welcome back to What the Podcast. I'm Ryan. And I'm John. And together we are in the Blooth, joining us this week. My lovely pregnant wife.

SPEAKER_04 1:02

Whoa! Whoa!

SPEAKER_01 1:06

If you've been listening to this show, you should have known by lots of clues dropped. Yeah, we never actually. We basically have been saying it explicitly, I feel.

SPEAKER_00 1:14

A lot of clues were pretty obvious.

SPEAKER_03 1:17

Joining us this week, Auntie Annie the Scoves Covenant. Oh sweet.

SPEAKER_00 1:23

Always the aunt, never the mother.

unknown 1:26

Sorry, I'm not sure.

SPEAKER_00 1:27

Hot to say I take it back. Sounds like something you're working through, and I'm uh I said always the aunt, never the mother. Oh, okay. Cool. Which I'm actually I'm mother. Pass.

SPEAKER_03 1:37

Alright.

SPEAKER_00 1:38

Cool with the cool ant vibes. Okay, that's good. Yeah. That's great, actually.

SPEAKER_03 1:42

Love that for my my unborn child.

SPEAKER_00 1:44

Oh, yeah, absolutely.

SPEAKER_03 1:45

Yeah, thank you.

SPEAKER_00 1:46

Do you think I'm like a cool ant? Yeah. There was hesitation.

SPEAKER_03 1:50

I mean the question felt a little forced.

SPEAKER_00 1:53

Kara, what kind of aunt do you think I am? I'd say chill aunt.

SPEAKER_03 1:58

No, she's definitely got cool ant energy.

SPEAKER_00 2:00

You know, I I get it, because I'm not as like I'm not as like vibey as cool ants are the ones that like show up and they either have like you know a bag full of cigarettes or a bag full of candy. You never know what's going on.

SPEAKER_01 2:09

Well, I guess you can't really be cool aunt until your kid's older.

SPEAKER_03 2:12

Do you get a bag full of cigarettes at like Costco or something like a wholesaler bag of cigarettes? A wholesaler? That's awesome.

SPEAKER_00 2:18

Like they open their purse and they're like, oh, give me that thing for my purse. You open their purse and they're like just filled with cigarettes. Just loose cigarettes, you think? Well, yeah, like the cool the whole idea is like you never know what you're gonna find. It's like, oh wow.

SPEAKER_02 2:29

I'm trying to understand. I'm trying to understand. Like, were they?

SPEAKER_00 2:31

I think if you have to ask you open it's a millions of dollars, you're like, I think if you're like Am I the cool ant?

SPEAKER_03 2:37

You're not. Just be the cool ant, any, right? That actually is actually pretty good. I think you're right on that.

SPEAKER_00 2:43

Yeah. So the census is I'm not.

SPEAKER_03 2:45

Well, you can start today. Are you asking if you're the cool ant? That's what I'm saying.

SPEAKER_00 2:50

Where do I get a bag full of cigarettes?

SPEAKER_03 2:52

Yeah, Costco. Costco. That's okay. Pharmacy?

SPEAKER_00 2:56

At Costco.

SPEAKER_03 2:57

Okay.

SPEAKER_00 2:58

I yeah.

SPEAKER_03 2:59

They're medicinal cigarettes. Yeah. Um, yeah. Anyways, guys, uh, happy last episode of the podcast. Um we are going down this weekend. Uh, we are gonna be attacked by Iran.

SPEAKER_00 3:12

Um I thought it was today.

SPEAKER_03 3:14

Yeah, well, it's definitely happening. Um, California is apparently being targeted for like drone strikes, which is hilarious because I did some digging on that, and it's basically just a speculation from the US like intelligence. There's there's no there was no threat made. They're just saying, like, hey, there's probably gonna be a drone strike, and it's probably gonna be California. So we basically have nothing to worry about. Don't you love politics these days? Isn't that weird?

SPEAKER_01 3:43

I don't think we had anything to worry about, anyways. They wouldn't let any drones get even close to us before. Right.

SPEAKER_02 3:48

Everything is so arbitrary, you know what I'm saying? We're they're just saying stuff now.

SPEAKER_03 3:53

It's just you're just saying things and hoping that it sticks because so many things are said every single day. The craziest thing. Yeah, it is very wild. It's very wild. I hate living in unprecedented times, man. And that we are with your pregnant wife.

SPEAKER_02 4:10

Oh, now it's our own. But I was you know, I did hear about the ironic and I was thinking about when my grandmother during World War II, same deal. San Diego was like kind of like uh it was one of those areas that was suspected to be hit by you know some sort of attack by any one of our our enemies. And so her parents sent her to Arizona for the summer or whenever it was, I don't know what kind of season it was, but just like while World War II was happening.

SPEAKER_00 4:45

I'd rather be bombed.

SPEAKER_02 4:47

And uh Okay. She's got a point though. I think she has a point. Hold on, hold on, she's got a point. Um yeah, and I thought it was like that is so interesting. Imagine like the it's like the hysteric. I mean, back then I think there was probably a higher probability that San Diego was actually gonna get attacked. Because now, like like Kara was saying, like I feel like there's so much technology that there's just it doesn't seem possible.

SPEAKER_01 5:09

The second the second anything is like picked up on a radar, it's out.

SPEAKER_03 5:14

It's like less. Maybe maybe above like Washington. We're literally a military town. Yeah, but there's not like I mean your lap was so good. I mean, I get it. I get it. I'm with you. San Diego's probably better off thanks.

SPEAKER_02 5:29

What's the play if if we get if if if like if San Diego tr truly does get attacked, like what's our move? You're not in the area that was attacked. What's your move?

SPEAKER_00 5:37

You ever look at the nuke drop uh map? No, there is there's a uh it's online and you can look it up and you can see like the different kinds of armor, like like if a different kinds of bombs that were dropped. Where they would reach where they would reach and what would happen. Okay. And I did spend a lot of time on that. It's like, okay, but does it reach out by the clip? It doesn't reach out by.

SPEAKER_02 5:56

I want to clip the audio of your map. Same as like a tsunami. You ever seen the the nuke drop map? The nuke drop map that's so good.

SPEAKER_03 6:03

You ever see a nuke drop map?

SPEAKER_02 6:04

And me going, no.

SPEAKER_03 6:06

Totally clipping that. Um I think about Are we in trouble here in Santee?

SPEAKER_00 6:12

Oh god, yeah. Yeah. But that's for other reasons.

SPEAKER_03 6:16

It's got to be a good one. Are we in trouble with the nuke drop map as well? Oh, it depends on where it's. How are we looking on the nuke drop map?

SPEAKER_00 6:22

You guys and OB?

SPEAKER_03 6:23

Yeah. Not good.

SPEAKER_00 6:25

But like gone to the point. Because they're getting the code. It's like getting the code.

SPEAKER_03 6:29

You won't feel it.

SPEAKER_00 6:30

Yeah, like, yeah, like like you're talking like Pompeii, like, oh, okay.

SPEAKER_03 6:34

Oh, and then people will find me? So maybe I'll die doing that. Oh, no one'll. No, no, no. Nothing's got to be a good thing. In that it'll be more like Noggata.

SPEAKER_02 6:43

And I'll be back on the show. I know it's hard to imagine this, but it's a similar scenario to the Jim Carrey thing that we talked about a long time ago. Yes, there was that false alarm in Hawaii. Oh, yeah. And he had he had like five had like 10 minutes and he there was nowhere for him to go. And he's like, for 10 minutes, I just like basically sat in my home. Yeah. And was like expect expecting to die. I'm like, that's gotta be such an interesting ten minutes.

SPEAKER_00 7:07

My you know my friends, and for anyone who isn't aware, there was a missile warning saying you have ten minutes before a missile strike is going to hit whole the island of Hawaii. Wow. And my friends were running a youth camp and they had all the kids go in the cabin and they were all just sitting there waiting. Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 7:26

All the kids all got on their phones too?

SPEAKER_00 7:27

No, all the kids, they had all the kids go into the cabins and like shelter under bunk beds and stuff like that. And then it was like another like four minutes later or whatever, ten minutes later, they said, false alarm, sorry, someone hit the wrong button.

SPEAKER_02 7:40

I think there'd be release.

SPEAKER_00 7:42

Like, was it actually like, oh, there was a gotta be a bombing, and then they like pew pew pew in the air, and then they're like just kidding, don't worry about it. They could have.

SPEAKER_03 7:50

I don't I don't think so. I think that would be more cause for national news. Like they wouldn't cover up a clear attack to the United States. I mean, maybe they would. We all looked at Cara. They'd also fake an attack.

SPEAKER_00 8:05

I think Care's a conspiracy theory.

SPEAKER_03 8:07

I'm thinking about 9-11.

unknown 8:09

Okay.

SPEAKER_00 8:10

Never forgot. Don't cut that.

SPEAKER_03 8:11

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. I'm thinking about 9-11 because if let's say there was a major attack in San Diego. There was a major attack. Well, and let's say it was downtown. They're going for downtown.

SPEAKER_00 8:21

They're going for the Rady Shell, obviously.

SPEAKER_03 8:22

They're going for the Rady Shell.

SPEAKER_00 8:24

They're going for Pecco Park.

SPEAKER_03 8:25

That egg. They're gonna blow up Petco Park, probably.

SPEAKER_00 8:29

The two Hyatt's downtown.

SPEAKER_03 8:30

And they blow up Peko Park. The toolbox. They're blowing up the toolbox, let's be honest.

SPEAKER_01 8:34

No, nobody ever blows up baseball fields, though. Baseball fields are always used as shelters.

SPEAKER_03 8:37

No, but the whole it San Diego's iconic looking, and they'll probably go for Coronado too, because it's a big thing. They're hitting the bridge. They hit the bridge.

SPEAKER_04 8:46

Definitely.

SPEAKER_03 8:47

That's what I'm gonna say. That's what I'm gonna say. We're clipping that. Um so but let's say we survive in OB. We're probably okay because they didn't do two 9-11s in New York. They did one in in New York, they did one at the Pentagon, which was states away, and then they did one-11.

SPEAKER_00 9:06

They were going for the White House? Yeah, there's the White House Pentagon in uh Twin Towers.

SPEAKER_02 9:10

But I do feel like 9-11 kind of was a two-phase scenario where it was like the first tower, and then we was like, oh, it couldn't possibly, and then the second tower. You know what I'm saying? Like I do think like there is a chance that if you are near where something has been bombed, there's that second, you know, phase of comfort, right?

SPEAKER_00 9:27

They did uh like a test report thing about the most endangered cities, and San Diego wasn't on the list. I think we're probably just up beyond that, but like population technically, San Francisco, New York. Um big tech hubs, yeah, sure. Yeah, like those were those were kind of like the big ones where it'd be like the most desktop. Omaha, Nebraska.

unknown 9:50

What?

SPEAKER_03 9:50

Yeah, Des Moines, I Iowa, probably.

SPEAKER_00 9:53

Yeah, probably.

SPEAKER_03 9:54

Well, just like big hubs for like technology and like innovation.

SPEAKER_00 9:58

Des Moines?

SPEAKER_03 9:59

Yeah. I'm just I'm Design. They're probably fine over there. They're probably fine. I had to do the three. I feel like that.

SPEAKER_02 10:07

I understand why military base is like logistically is a good like why what they would attack. Because but I feel like our military is so vast. Like to go after a military base feels like you're just kind of you're kind of rallying the base, you know.

SPEAKER_03 10:21

That was my thought behind San Diego. Like downtown San Diego is so iconic. And like it's America's finest city, right? So if you could attack America's finest city, is downtown San Diego that iconic?

SPEAKER_01 10:32

That's I don't think.

SPEAKER_03 10:33

When you think San Diego, no, I don't think downtown you, because you live in Ocean Beach. Um, they're not gonna blow up the pier. They should. I mean, they're on their own.

SPEAKER_00 10:47

So much money. Wait, that's a great idea. So much money.

SPEAKER_03 10:51

I'm gonna make some calls. No, um, but the Iran doesn't have a nuke. The whole thing is like, oh, we're going in there because of weapons of mass destruction. They're like years, if not decades, away from having a nuke. So that's not a problem.

SPEAKER_00 11:07

I had okay I thought they had to be a good idea. That's why they were all started. They've had when they talk about going into the Middle East, they talk about out of all the militaries that Iran was the most sophisticated of the militaries in the Middle East. And they were they've been they probably are. Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 11:21

They've been two weeks away from having nuclear power for like decades. I'm not even joking, like decades. Ever since the first time we went to Iran.

SPEAKER_02 11:29

Like, I don't believe what the government says, but I do think that but that that's like kind of the basis of this whole thing, right? Is like they could they didn't trust the government that's in control now with the potential of a nuclear weapon, so they that's why they killed the president.

SPEAKER_03 11:45

But it's like the but it's like the boy that cried nuke, you know. It's like, oh, well, we we went in there for weapons of mass destruction, right? We're going in there to find them. When you don't find them, you find a bunch of oil.

SPEAKER_02 11:57

I don't believe a word the Urban is saying about this stuff. I'm sure that they there's some sort of oil or gas, you know, motivation behind all of it, and they're just going like, but they're so boats, you know. But I'm just saying I think that's like publicly that's the um the what's up, what she's figuring out the new cup situation. Okay. Um I think that's like the public that's what they're saying. Was it gas? Was it gas that I because I said gas?

SPEAKER_00 12:23

No, I leaned forward to take a sip of my headphone, and I was like, oh, I'm surprised you went with the glass draw.

SPEAKER_01 12:31

It's possible.

SPEAKER_00 12:33

I don't like glass draws, those things like that. Glass cup, plastic straw?

SPEAKER_03 12:37

She likes microplastics.

SPEAKER_00 12:38

You accidentally bite it, and you go, she likes having the microplastics out.

SPEAKER_03 12:42

You bite that plastic draw?

SPEAKER_01 12:43

Yeah. This is the best draw. That's despicable.

SPEAKER_03 12:45

Why would you do this the best? Oh, don't do that. Don't do that move.

SPEAKER_01 12:50

I'm the tongue out?

SPEAKER_00 12:53

Yeah, it's for your teeth.

SPEAKER_02 12:55

Why do you bite it? You're gonna get a bunch of microplastics.

SPEAKER_03 12:58

No, that's not what she did. That's not what she did.

SPEAKER_00 13:00

Taco? I do it to the side. I don't do this.

SPEAKER_03 13:02

Do it again.

SPEAKER_00 13:04

Oh, your tongue out?

SPEAKER_01 13:06

Taco it. You taco.

SPEAKER_02 13:08

You don't taco. Oh my gosh. Censor that, please. Censor that. Cut that out. Or clip it. I don't know what's happening.

SPEAKER_00 13:15

And now we don't have to do that. Censor that. Oh my god. I was so aggressive.

SPEAKER_03 13:21

Okay. I don't know. I don't know where that's how we should go anymore. Yeah, we were talking about. I know I'm not saying that we did 9-11. I'm saying that we definitely pivoted.

SPEAKER_00 13:33

And if you're getting your news source from us on what the podcast is.

SPEAKER_03 13:36

Yeah, go ahead and subscribe. Because it's totally right. It's totally true.

SPEAKER_01 13:42

Cite us. We're a reliable source. Cite your source.

SPEAKER_03 13:45

I'm not saying we did 9-11. I'm not saying it's an inside job. I'm saying that the US government was waiting for a reason to invade Iraq and the Middle East. And it was like, oh, perfect. Awesome. Like game on. Whether or not it was retribution for 9-11, whether or not it was because of weapons of mass destruction, oil, whatever the reason they were like, we're getting in there.

SPEAKER_00 14:05

I don't think it's so much that. I think it's like more like we'll put a boot in your ass. That's the American way.

SPEAKER_03 14:11

That's exact. Thank you.

SPEAKER_00 14:14

Okay, we got so 9-11 happens. Yeah. And then our reaction was we'll put a boot in your ass. So I don't think it has anything to do with the weapons. I think it's more the boot in the ass.

SPEAKER_03 14:26

I think you're absolutely right. I think it was never about the weapons. It was never about the weapons. It was a very good thing. It was really less about 9-11. I think if anything, we were just looking for a reason to be racist towards Middle Eastern people. And we found it. We did it.

SPEAKER_01 14:40

My people.

SPEAKER_03 14:41

Apparently there was a something came out, a tweet or a memo or something, uh in response to the school getting blown up in Iran. And somebody said Yeah. And the sentiment was better dead than wearing a burqa, I believe. It was something like that. And that's just straight up, you know, pretty, pretty blatant racism. It's horrible. Um and so I I I fear that that's uh we're we're coming upon another time of that. So that's great.

SPEAKER_02 15:13

I was gonna say, do you think that like there's any thought uh when you know other world powers like you know, Iran and stuff like that, like where like do you think the thought is like if we attack America, it's gonna like just kind of embolden their base and like and they're gonna come back tenfolding? Maybe I was thinking about the fact like 9-11, when 9-11 happened, like people went like people that had full careers, like was like, I'm going into the military. Like genuinely, like like the next day like signed up. And I'm like, that's such an interesting, because that's not my inherent like response to something else.

SPEAKER_00 15:50

Cowardly, we know.

SPEAKER_02 15:51

Which is fine.

SPEAKER_00 15:52

That was a really rough word. Cowardly is.

SPEAKER_03 15:55

Yeah, well, you're cowardly, and we know. That's go up and clip that.

SPEAKER_00 16:01

So sorry. I can't wait to watch so much more wake up and listen. I can't wait. Because you want to put the boot in the ass. I'll put a boot in your ass. It's the American World.

SPEAKER_03 16:13

That will make you cool, Aunt Danny. Oh military buzz cut.

SPEAKER_00 16:18

I did call Dib somebody the next one of my friends to die, and that is a good way to do it.

SPEAKER_03 16:22

In the line of duty.

SPEAKER_01 16:23

Did you know that there's a there's a rule women in military in like training camp and stuff? You have to wear your hair a certain way. Yeah, it has to be back in a bun. Yeah. Can't have a part. It has to be straight back. It's a new rule.

SPEAKER_03 16:38

Oh, that's fine. Andy's doing the slick back. Are you doing a part in your slick back? Yes. Oh.

SPEAKER_00 16:43

Oh, this is straight back. I'm not trying to look like George Ross. Yeah. No, Cadet Kelly, she had a part. I don't know if um, what's her face? Impossible. I don't think she had a part in there.

SPEAKER_03 16:53

You're talking about Christy Carlson Romano.

SPEAKER_00 16:55

Yes. Um, wow. You know what, guys? We'll see. You know what? Only time will tell what this war will bring. Kid dead, kid.

SPEAKER_03 17:02

Well, I fear the worst, but that's just me.

SPEAKER_00 17:06

Okay, if we're going way back, there's some great things that we are that are happening. We're throwing it way back. We're going back to Iran. We're, you know, doing all these bad things again, but Hannah Montana's coming back. True. See Hanna Montana. Hillary Duff is everywhere.

SPEAKER_02 17:20

That hype personally.

SPEAKER_00 17:22

Well Okay, well, then why don't you enlist? If you're bored around here, go ahead. Hannah Montana in the Middle East right now, John.

SPEAKER_03 17:29

Sorry, just circling back briefly, Christy Carlson Romano. It looks like she did have the part.

SPEAKER_00 17:33

Yeah, she did. Oh, barely.

SPEAKER_03 17:36

She had that part.

SPEAKER_02 17:37

The other thing is back to the Hannah Montana thing. Yeah, thank you. I just think I've had this thoughts for about a lot of things, and I think that we need to stop rehashing stuff. Bringing things back.

SPEAKER_01 17:48

Oh, yeah. Okay. This this is a little different.

SPEAKER_02 17:51

Okay.

SPEAKER_01 17:52

When Hannah Montana Hannah Montana. Hannah Montana ended on Disney Channel. Yes. Miley Cyrus had to sign a contract saying that she could never sing those songs ever again. And now she's coming back to the case. Twenty years later, or I I guess it was like 18. Yeah. She was inducted into like the Disney Hall of Fame. Okay, Queen.

SPEAKER_04 18:18

Okay.

SPEAKER_01 18:19

But that day she got paperwork saying now she is allowed to sing those songs.

SPEAKER_03 18:24

Oh, so the people that ruined her life finally came around and were like, hey, now that it's gonna make us money, you can sing these songs.

SPEAKER_01 18:31

Yeah, was she allowed to do them live? No, like nothing nothing. Interesting. She she had an interview about it and she was like, Yeah, I did I didn't really want to sing those songs.

SPEAKER_02 18:41

I could even tell one Hannah Manantana Hannah Montana song.

SPEAKER_01 18:44

As I was getting older, I realized that was my life and like it was such a great time. And so that's why this anniversary is such a big deal.

SPEAKER_03 18:51

Okay, John doesn't care, obviously. I'm gonna show you something and tell me how it makes you feel.

SPEAKER_01 18:55

Okay.

SPEAKER_00 18:57

Yeah, fine. Yeah, it makes me feel like she's an adult. Yeah, no. Queen, queen, queen.

SPEAKER_03 19:03

This makes me feel strange inside.

SPEAKER_01 19:06

Well, you didn't you didn't watch the final season of Hannah Montana.

SPEAKER_03 19:09

First of all, check yourself. Did you? I was a big Hannah Montana. Did you watch the final season? She looked like that in the final season. No, with her like 15 days a post-20 years ago. Oh, I thought you you said you didn't care.

SPEAKER_02 19:21

I don't I don't care, but I want to be a part of the card. Here it is. Here it is. Oh. Yeah, it's old.

SPEAKER_03 19:25

It makes me feel rough. I'm gonna be honest. It looks like old Hannah Montana. You know she was 12 in that first one. I know she was 12. I watched the show. I get it. I'm saying this in the year 2026. It feels weird. I love it. Yes. I love it.

SPEAKER_00 19:39

It feels weird. Did anyone see the live action Moana? Didn't that happen?

SPEAKER_01 19:43

It's not out yet. Oh. Not out yet. Did I watch this iconic moment?

SPEAKER_03 19:47

Yes. Yes, I'm Hannah Montana. I'm so good. And they go, oh, it's a girl.

SPEAKER_00 19:53

Another. And they're like, okay, so you wear a blonde wig. So you're still Hannah Montana?

SPEAKER_03 19:58

We knew that was a wig. I love it was a wig.

SPEAKER_01 20:00

I love that storyline, how it's like the Hannah Montana movie happens and she fully like, I can't do this anymore. Yeah. And everyone's like, we'll keep your secret.

SPEAKER_03 20:10

It should have ended like the movie.

SPEAKER_01 20:12

None of that was televised.

SPEAKER_03 20:13

The Hannah Montana movie. Oh, yeah. No.

SPEAKER_01 20:16

It went all the way through high school. She was going to college. No, that was that movie.

SPEAKER_03 20:20

Right? But she took some time off to reflect because she was forgetting her roots. And so she went to do the boom boom clap to clap.

SPEAKER_03 21:41

Yeah, you guys, I gotta talk about this cruise that I'm going on. Yeah, go for it. Um, you ever you've been on a cruise? You've done a cruise before. Yes. A few things that I'm already upset about, and I'm not even on the boat yet. Okay. It's the automatic tipping. Oh, yeah. That'll get it. This is a Annie. I'm gonna tell you about something called. They are automatically charged in order to get on the boat. They run your credit card, obviously. So they've got us by the by the butt, right? They've got you. They're like, we're gonna automatically charge you for tips for all of the waiters and the people that do your bed and the everything. And here we go. We're gonna charge you. It's$18 a day per person in your party.

SPEAKER_00 22:28

It's not that bad.

SPEAKER_03 22:30

It's horrible. It's not bad.

SPEAKER_00 22:32

It's unlimited food. I would not six dollars for the lot of the things. Sorry, let me back up a person per the people that are serving you. I was like, oh yeah,$18 per crew.

SPEAKER_03 22:42

Sorry, let me back up. This is a free crew. So this was pushed to me as a free. Nothing's free at all.

SPEAKER_00 22:47

Yeah, I hate to tell you this. Nothing's free in this.

SPEAKER_03 22:49

The only beverages I'm allowed to drink are water and iced tea and lemonade.

SPEAKER_01 22:53

You didn't get the black coffee?

SPEAKER_03 22:56

Nope. Not probably. Coffee was not on the list. Lemonade, water, and ice tea. They specifically put that on the drink package. Drink package. So why don't you give the$30 a day?$30 a day for every day of the cruise? I don't know.

SPEAKER_00 23:12

How many days is the cruise?

SPEAKER_03 23:14

Seven days. That was a good one.

SPEAKER_01 23:17

No, that's normal drinks. Oh, that's right.

SPEAKER_03 23:19

That's that's soft beverage drinks.

SPEAKER_00 23:22

That's alcohol cokes.

SPEAKER_03 23:23

$70 a day. Oh, that's crazy. Oh, that's crazy. And you can't do it one day. You you have to do it for the entire duration of the day.

SPEAKER_01 23:30

And it can't just be the one person in your party. It has to be everyone in your room. It has to be everybody in your room. Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 23:36

So they were like, okay, great. It's gonna be a thousand dollars for you and your wife. I'm like, hold on, she's not doing the alcohol. Sorry, no. You can't like mix and match ahead of time. Screw that.

SPEAKER_02 23:46

Can you pay for an alcoholic drink when you're on there?

SPEAKER_03 23:49

I can buy a drink when I'm there. You can buy an$11 cocktail.

SPEAKER_00 23:52

Oh.

SPEAKER_03 23:53

No, try again. We're like$16. Whatever. I've been watching a lot of crews.

SPEAKER_02 23:57

But think about it. If you're if you think about it, if you do a$16 drink, in order for you to hit your minimum at$70, oh my gosh, you're gonna be freaking three or four drinks. I know.

SPEAKER_00 24:09

When you pay for the drink package. You're paying for you and Kara and you have to drink for you and Kara. So you have to drink. She had to drink her money.

SPEAKER_01 24:18

And that's not even counting the margaritas in Cabo.

SPEAKER_03 24:22

That's kind of what I'm thinking about.

SPEAKER_00 24:23

And you're going into the margaritas.

SPEAKER_03 24:24

We're gonna be in Cabo for two days.

SPEAKER_00 24:26

You're gonna go senor frogs. I'm going to senior frogs. And you're gonna get ass blasted out there.

SPEAKER_03 24:30

Ass blasted by the frog, man. Okay. Clip that. Talking to myself later.

SPEAKER_01 24:36

Yeah, but I don't want to bring it on there. You can bring a bottle of wine each. Yourself. And you can bring a pack of like sodas each. You can bring your own thing of sodas. You can bring a pack of waters.

SPEAKER_03 24:49

You can bring a pack of waters.

SPEAKER_01 24:51

It said cans. I read all the fine prints. I read all the fine print cards. I said cans, too.

SPEAKER_03 24:55

I read all the fine print. The point is, I'm going on this cruise. Or you just buy your drinks. I'm gonna go on the cruise. I've been watching a lot of cruise TikTok lately. Um, and I ran into this couple that has lived on the same cruise ship in the same cabin for 20 years. They pay rent. They pay thirty five hundred dollars a month and all their food, room, and board, everything's included, utilities. It's pretty good, actually. It's pretty good. They said they've seen the entire world, they've gone to like every country because this boat just you know, you do a tour over here, you do a tour over there. A little bit of this.

SPEAKER_00 25:27

Do they ever clean the boat? Like, do they get a little bit more?

SPEAKER_03 25:30

No, they haven't cleaned the boat in 20 years. They haven't cleaned the boat.

SPEAKER_00 25:33

That's what I'm saying. Like you're saying the 20 years, like at some point when that boat retires, they have to they have to move.

SPEAKER_03 25:39

Sure.

SPEAKER_02 25:39

Yeah. No, I don't think they have a lot of stuff as the deal.

SPEAKER_03 25:42

Actually, actually, I don't know if they've been on the same boat for 20 years, but they've lived on a cruise ship for 20 years.

SPEAKER_00 25:48

Okay, that makes more sense. I was like, wait, that makes I feel like that's crazy. I was just talking to our friend Michael about his cruise.

SPEAKER_03 25:53

Michael Panning.

SPEAKER_00 25:54

Yeah, and he was explaining it to me, and he was like, Yeah, you go to dinner, you go sit at the same table every time. Because I've never been on a cruise, so it kind of felt like a foreign concept for me.

SPEAKER_01 26:02

Yeah. And I it's like going to a conference at a hotel.

SPEAKER_00 26:05

Yeah, I don't know if I'd I like the idea. But fun.

SPEAKER_03 26:08

There's some parts that I'm excited for. There's some parts that I'm not excited for.

SPEAKER_00 26:13

There's karaoke, there's games. See, I went for two years ago, last year, whenever it was, my first all-inclusive resort. And I didn't and I didn't know I didn't necessarily like that.

SPEAKER_03 26:23

Because they they're like, oh, and now it's like, you know, cocktail hour in the room, and you're like with a bunch of strangers.

SPEAKER_00 26:30

They're like, oh, and silent disco on this floor and this random and we went to all of it because I said I'm like, we're going.

SPEAKER_02 26:37

And it was like I don't think the alcoholic drink package makes sense. Like genuinely.

SPEAKER_03 26:42

You get here's what you get$70 a day,$15 alcoholic beverages in one day. Is your package.

SPEAKER_02 26:51

Whoa.

SPEAKER_00 26:53

But then you get all the other drinks too. No, they don't roll over.

SPEAKER_03 26:56

You can do yes, so it's uh any amount of sodas that you want, any amount of coffees that you want, and you can have 15 alcoholic beverages for$70 a day. Yeah. For the entirety.

SPEAKER_02 27:06

Like I mean, if you're not going to be able to do this is good research though. I want you to one day drink as uh like as heavily or as fun as you want if you want. And then tell me how much you're gonna get it.

SPEAKER_01 27:14

If you have a glass of wine with your dinner, you can pay for it.

SPEAKER_00 27:16

Yeah, but it's not just that, it's that. It's like yeah, you go and you get a latte in your drink package. So done. Like it would have you'd have to calculate all of it, not just the expense of the drinks. And I'm gonna do their cocktails.

SPEAKER_03 27:26

But you guys know I'm like a two and done, sometimes a three and done. Yeah, you're lovely. Unless I'm like partying, I'm like, yeah, a couple of drinks and I'm good. Yeah. Sit by the pool and whatever. The coffee is gonna be tough. And I did have a plan to maybe bring a tea kettle and bring my own coffee. Um, but I did find out today I'm not allowed to bring a tea kettle, so I won't be doing that. Um maybe ordering some hot water and just making my own coffee in the room. And it makes me they make me, you know what I'm saying? They make me feel crazy.

SPEAKER_01 27:56

Well, there's free hot water on the Lido deck. So you just bring your little porous over to the Lido deck and you make it.

SPEAKER_02 28:02

Like an animal. You know that. Are you guys both researching the screws?

SPEAKER_03 28:06

Yeah, there's all kinds you download the carnival app, John.

SPEAKER_00 28:10

You bring your Chemex up to the Lido deck.

SPEAKER_03 28:13

And there's a whole list of things that you can't bring that you can bring. It's like a it's like a language you have to understand. And I've just I know you should call Michael's friend that he went with.

SPEAKER_00 28:25

He he goes to like he does like eight cruises a year.

SPEAKER_03 28:29

SPEAKER_02 31:02

We're talking about Jim. I wanted to go with the 15% gray you texted me about for the walls here, and I got outvoted for the colour.

SPEAKER_00 31:09

Yeah, he wanted it's some gray that he said is the perfect gray for colors and cameras.

SPEAKER_01 31:15

Okay, maybe not for video. That's awesome. No, it's not. No, it's like no, it's like specifically for video. Sorry, Jim. Gray's boring.

SPEAKER_00 31:21

Gray's ugly, Jim. Jim's colorblind. Don't listen to Jim back colors. Is he? Yes, he's so colorblind. He has us come check the meat to make sure it's done. Okay, what was that? He's he's grilling, he'll go.

SPEAKER_03 31:34

SPEAKER_02 31:50

I'm not sure who that was. But they definitely were coming through strong. That was an old Alpinian woman.

SPEAKER_03 31:56

Wow.

SPEAKER_02 31:57

Check the meat!

SPEAKER_00 31:58

I'm on check the meat. He had he has us checked the meat to make sure it's done because he can't see if it's pink.

SPEAKER_02 32:04

See, but I always heard that colorblind is like they still learn colors a little like they just they just learn colors.

SPEAKER_00 32:11

He can't see different hues of it, so he can't see if it's like a little pink. Or a lot of pink. He can see, yeah, like if it's different shades.

SPEAKER_02 32:17

That's so odd to me. That sucks. Like I would be sick of the physical. I used to think that maybe we all see colours differently and we're all just taught to see to identify them the same way. Wouldn't that be interesting?

SPEAKER_00 32:28

That'd be interesting.

SPEAKER_03 32:30

The thing that we both call green. You don't know if you're seeing the same thing that I'm seeing. Because we both say the word green. You tell this green.

SPEAKER_01 32:36

No, until until you find a colorblind person, it's like, oh, this is pink. They're like, that's gray. Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 32:41

No, but I'm talking about in general. Just like people.

SPEAKER_00 32:44

Yeah, like Jim would see this is white. Like he cannot see that hue of green.

SPEAKER_03 32:48

Wake up, sheeple. Green is actually blue. Blue is actually red.

You know what's crazy to me is I I before I met you guys, I had no idea that you couldn't go in the beach at certain times. I have no idea. I had no idea.

SPEAKER_01 34:52

Oh.

SPEAKER_02 34:53

I don't go to the beach that often, but I'm not sure.

SPEAKER_01 34:54

Well, I just know Imperial Beach. I'd be dumped. It's like you cannot swim at all in there because the bacteria from Mexico is like horrible.

SPEAKER_00 35:01

Mexico will be dumping this stuff in the ocean.

SPEAKER_01 35:03

Recently, in the last like month, all of that bacteria has moved to Coronado. Oh. So can't swim that. Can't swim now.

SPEAKER_03 35:11

Manny Machado's not happy about it.

SPEAKER_01 35:13

We're fine down here. And Oceanside's fine.

SPEAKER_03 35:16

Santee isn't probably going to get away from the channel.

SPEAKER_00 35:18

And Santee is not okay, but it's for other reasons. Yeah, it's ridiculous.

SPEAKER_03 35:22

For different reasons.

SPEAKER_00 35:23

It is for different reasons. It is for different reasons. I called Jim over here.

John, who's the mean girl in the office? Today? Yeah. Angela. Angela is the mean girl in the office.

SPEAKER_00 36:26
