SPEAKER_00When did you become famous?
SPEAKER_03Oh, this week, when uh we dropped a big bomb on the social media world. Ah, yes.
SPEAKER_00That's different than the bombs you've been dropping.
SPEAKER_02I was shocked by that because I thought you guys weren't gonna do that.
SPEAKER_03Uh you know what? We decided your wife took such great uh pictures, we could not do it. The world had to see it.
SPEAKER_00Who had that final say?
SPEAKER_03Kara wanted to, I didn't want to, so we compromised and we did. We did it. Yeah.
SPEAKER_00Yeah.
SPEAKER_03Hi 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_04Whoa! Whoa!
SPEAKER_01If 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_00A lot of clues were pretty obvious.
SPEAKER_03Joining us this week, Auntie Annie the Scoves Covenant. Oh sweet.
SPEAKER_00Always the aunt, never the mother.
unknownSorry, I'm not sure.
SPEAKER_00Hot 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_03Alright.
SPEAKER_00Cool with the cool ant vibes. Okay, that's good. Yeah. That's great, actually.
SPEAKER_03Love that for my my unborn child.
SPEAKER_00Oh, yeah, absolutely.
SPEAKER_03Yeah, thank you.
SPEAKER_00Do you think I'm like a cool ant? Yeah. There was hesitation.
SPEAKER_03I mean the question felt a little forced.
SPEAKER_00Kara, what kind of aunt do you think I am? I'd say chill aunt.
SPEAKER_03No, she's definitely got cool ant energy.
SPEAKER_00You 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_01Well, I guess you can't really be cool aunt until your kid's older.
SPEAKER_03Do you get a bag full of cigarettes at like Costco or something like a wholesaler bag of cigarettes? A wholesaler? That's awesome.
SPEAKER_00Like 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_02I'm trying to understand. I'm trying to understand. Like, were they?
SPEAKER_00I 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_03You're not. Just be the cool ant, any, right? That actually is actually pretty good. I think you're right on that.
SPEAKER_00Yeah. So the census is I'm not.
SPEAKER_03Well, you can start today. Are you asking if you're the cool ant? That's what I'm saying.
SPEAKER_00Where do I get a bag full of cigarettes?
SPEAKER_03Yeah, Costco. Costco. That's okay. Pharmacy?
SPEAKER_00At Costco.
SPEAKER_03Okay.
SPEAKER_00I yeah.
SPEAKER_03They'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_00Um I thought it was today.
SPEAKER_03Yeah, 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_01I don't think we had anything to worry about, anyways. They wouldn't let any drones get even close to us before. Right.
SPEAKER_02Everything is so arbitrary, you know what I'm saying? We're they're just saying stuff now.
SPEAKER_03It'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_02Oh, 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_00I'd rather be bombed.
SPEAKER_02And 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_01The second the second anything is like picked up on a radar, it's out.
SPEAKER_03It'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_02What'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_00You 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_02I 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_03You ever see a nuke drop map?
SPEAKER_02And me going, no.
SPEAKER_03Totally clipping that. Um I think about Are we in trouble here in Santee?
SPEAKER_00Oh god, yeah. Yeah. But that's for other reasons.
SPEAKER_03It'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_00You guys and OB?
SPEAKER_03Yeah. Not good.
SPEAKER_00But like gone to the point. Because they're getting the code. It's like getting the code.
SPEAKER_03You won't feel it.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, like, yeah, like like you're talking like Pompeii, like, oh, okay.
SPEAKER_03Oh, 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_02And 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_00My 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_03All the kids all got on their phones too?
SPEAKER_00No, 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_02I think there'd be release.
SPEAKER_00Like, 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_03I 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_00I think Care's a conspiracy theory.
SPEAKER_03I'm thinking about 9-11.
unknownOkay.
SPEAKER_00Never forgot. Don't cut that.
SPEAKER_03Whoa, 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_00They're going for the Rady Shell, obviously.
SPEAKER_03They're going for the Rady Shell.
SPEAKER_00They're going for Pecco Park.
SPEAKER_03That egg. They're gonna blow up Petco Park, probably.
SPEAKER_00The two Hyatt's downtown.
SPEAKER_03And they blow up Peko Park. The toolbox. They're blowing up the toolbox, let's be honest.
SPEAKER_01No, nobody ever blows up baseball fields, though. Baseball fields are always used as shelters.
SPEAKER_03No, 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_04Definitely.
SPEAKER_03That'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_00They were going for the White House? Yeah, there's the White House Pentagon in uh Twin Towers.
SPEAKER_02But 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_00They 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.
unknownWhat?
SPEAKER_03Yeah, Des Moines, I Iowa, probably.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, probably.
SPEAKER_03Well, just like big hubs for like technology and like innovation.
SPEAKER_00Des Moines?
SPEAKER_03Yeah. 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_02I 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_03That 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_01That's I don't think.
SPEAKER_03When 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_00So much money. Wait, that's a great idea. So much money.
SPEAKER_03I'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_00I 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_03They'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_02Like, 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_03But 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_02I 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_00No, 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_01It's possible.
SPEAKER_00I don't like glass draws, those things like that. Glass cup, plastic straw?
SPEAKER_03She likes microplastics.
SPEAKER_00You accidentally bite it, and you go, she likes having the microplastics out.
SPEAKER_03You bite that plastic draw?
SPEAKER_01Yeah. This is the best draw. That's despicable.
SPEAKER_03Why would you do this the best? Oh, don't do that. Don't do that move.
SPEAKER_01I'm the tongue out?
SPEAKER_00Yeah, it's for your teeth.
SPEAKER_02Why do you bite it? You're gonna get a bunch of microplastics.
SPEAKER_03No, that's not what she did. That's not what she did.
SPEAKER_00Taco? I do it to the side. I don't do this.
SPEAKER_03Do it again.
SPEAKER_00Oh, your tongue out?
SPEAKER_01Taco it. You taco.
SPEAKER_02You 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_00And now we don't have to do that. Censor that. Oh my god. I was so aggressive.
SPEAKER_03Okay. 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_00And if you're getting your news source from us on what the podcast is.
SPEAKER_03Yeah, go ahead and subscribe. Because it's totally right. It's totally true.
SPEAKER_01Cite us. We're a reliable source. Cite your source.
SPEAKER_03I'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_00I 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_03That's exact. Thank you.
SPEAKER_00Okay, 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_03I 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_01My people.
SPEAKER_03Apparently 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_02I 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_00Cowardly, we know.
SPEAKER_02Which is fine.
SPEAKER_00That was a really rough word. Cowardly is.
SPEAKER_03Yeah, well, you're cowardly, and we know. That's go up and clip that.
SPEAKER_00So 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_03That will make you cool, Aunt Danny. Oh military buzz cut.
SPEAKER_00I did call Dib somebody the next one of my friends to die, and that is a good way to do it.
SPEAKER_03In the line of duty.
SPEAKER_01Did 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_03Oh, that's fine. Andy's doing the slick back. Are you doing a part in your slick back? Yes. Oh.
SPEAKER_00Oh, 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_03You're talking about Christy Carlson Romano.
SPEAKER_00Yes. 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_03Well, I fear the worst, but that's just me.
SPEAKER_00Okay, 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_02That hype personally.
SPEAKER_00Well 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_03Sorry, just circling back briefly, Christy Carlson Romano. It looks like she did have the part.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, she did. Oh, barely.
SPEAKER_03She had that part.
SPEAKER_02The 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_01Oh, yeah. Okay. This this is a little different.
SPEAKER_02Okay.
SPEAKER_01When 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_04Okay.
SPEAKER_01But that day she got paperwork saying now she is allowed to sing those songs.
SPEAKER_03Oh, 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_01Yeah, 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_02I could even tell one Hannah Manantana Hannah Montana song.
SPEAKER_01As 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_03Okay, John doesn't care, obviously. I'm gonna show you something and tell me how it makes you feel.
SPEAKER_01Okay.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, fine. Yeah, it makes me feel like she's an adult. Yeah, no. Queen, queen, queen.
SPEAKER_03This makes me feel strange inside.
SPEAKER_01Well, you didn't you didn't watch the final season of Hannah Montana.
SPEAKER_03First 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_02I 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_03It 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_00It feels weird. Did anyone see the live action Moana? Didn't that happen?
SPEAKER_01It's not out yet. Oh. Not out yet. Did I watch this iconic moment?
SPEAKER_03Yes. Yes, I'm Hannah Montana. I'm so good. And they go, oh, it's a girl.
SPEAKER_00Another. And they're like, okay, so you wear a blonde wig. So you're still Hannah Montana?
SPEAKER_03We knew that was a wig. I love it was a wig.
SPEAKER_01I 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_03It should have ended like the movie.
SPEAKER_01None of that was televised.
SPEAKER_03The Hannah Montana movie. Oh, yeah. No.
SPEAKER_01It went all the way through high school. She was going to college. No, that was that movie.
SPEAKER_03Right? 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_01Uh no, wrong. Her dad tricked her into talking at Jibrish, are we talking about you literally brought that up? Also, Billy Rosiris is a part of this anniversary special. No way. Stills came out because they already they filmed it a couple weeks ago. Stills came out. I think you're under contract. Of course he is. Robbie Ray. Hey, is Jackson back? Yeah. What about Lily? Oh, I don't know about Emily Osbund. I'm sure she is.

SPEAKER_03Yeah, 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_00It's not that bad.
SPEAKER_03It's horrible. It's not bad.
SPEAKER_00It'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_03Sorry, let me back up. This is a free crew. So this was pushed to me as a free. Nothing's free at all.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, I hate to tell you this. Nothing's free in this.
SPEAKER_03The only beverages I'm allowed to drink are water and iced tea and lemonade.
SPEAKER_01You didn't get the black coffee?
SPEAKER_03Nope. 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_00How many days is the cruise?
SPEAKER_03Seven days. That was a good one.
SPEAKER_01No, that's normal drinks. Oh, that's right.
SPEAKER_03That's that's soft beverage drinks.
SPEAKER_00That's alcohol cokes.
SPEAKER_03$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_01And 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_03So 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_02Can you pay for an alcoholic drink when you're on there?
SPEAKER_03I can buy a drink when I'm there. You can buy an $11 cocktail.
SPEAKER_00Oh.
SPEAKER_03No, try again. We're like $16. Whatever. I've been watching a lot of crews.
SPEAKER_02But 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_00When 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_01And that's not even counting the margaritas in Cabo.

SPEAKER_03We're gonna be in Cabo for two days.
SPEAKER_00You're gonna go senor frogs. I'm going to senior frogs. And you're gonna get ass blasted out there.
SPEAKER_03Ass blasted by the frog, man. Okay. Clip that. Talking to myself later.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, 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_03You can bring a pack of waters.
SPEAKER_01It said cans. I read all the fine prints. I read all the fine print cards. I said cans, too.
SPEAKER_03I 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_00Do they ever clean the boat? Like, do they get a little bit more?
SPEAKER_03No, they haven't cleaned the boat in 20 years. They haven't cleaned the boat.
SPEAKER_00That'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_03Sure.
SPEAKER_02Yeah. No, I don't think they have a lot of stuff as the deal.
SPEAKER_03Actually, 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_00Okay, 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_03Michael Panning.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, 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_01Yeah. And I it's like going to a conference at a hotel.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, I don't know if I'd I like the idea. But fun.
SPEAKER_03There's some parts that I'm excited for. There's some parts that I'm not excited for.
SPEAKER_00There'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_03Because 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_00They'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_02And it was like I don't think the alcoholic drink package makes sense. Like genuinely.
SPEAKER_03You get here's what you get $70 a day, $15 alcoholic beverages in one day. Is your package.
SPEAKER_02Whoa.
SPEAKER_00But then you get all the other drinks too. No, they don't roll over.
SPEAKER_03You 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_02Like 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_01If you have a glass of wine with your dinner, you can pay for it.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, 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_03But 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_01Well, 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_02Like an animal. You know that. Are you guys both researching the screws?
SPEAKER_03Yeah, there's all kinds you download the carnival app, John.
SPEAKER_00You bring your Chemex up to the Lido deck.
SPEAKER_03And 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_00He he goes to like he does like eight cruises a year.
SPEAKER_03Eight cruises a year.
SPEAKER_00Yeah.
SPEAKER_03So he probably has You know, TikTok's got me covered. I don't need to be talking to fine.

SPEAKER_00I love hanging out with Jim. I love Jim.
SPEAKER_02Actually, I need to borrow his hammer drill if he's listening to this. Hey Jim, you can hear this. Yeah, hey Jim. The one I borrowed earlier, the concrete drill. Thank you. What do you call it? I'll text you. I just need to put another eyelid in here for Arthur's leash.

SPEAKER_02Thanks, Jim. Thank you, Jim. I know he watches. I know he watches.
SPEAKER_00Yes, he does. Every so often I get a mean text about it. Um, some just some BS. I see. Hey, and Jim, by the way, that's not track.
SPEAKER_02We'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_00Yeah, he wanted it's some gray that he said is the perfect gray for colors and cameras.
SPEAKER_01Okay, 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_00Gray'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_03What meat was that? Was that a sign of grits with that? What was that? That's crazy. Whose character was that? That was I love when Annie gets possessed by like maybe her ancestors. I don't know who that was.
SPEAKER_02I'm not sure who that was. But they definitely were coming through strong. That was an old Alpinian woman.
SPEAKER_03Wow.
SPEAKER_02Check the meat!
SPEAKER_00I'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_02See, but I always heard that colorblind is like they still learn colors a little like they just they just learn colors.
SPEAKER_00He 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_02That'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_00That'd be interesting.
SPEAKER_03The 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_01No, until until you find a colorblind person, it's like, oh, this is pink. They're like, that's gray. Yeah.
SPEAKER_02No, but I'm talking about in general. Just like people.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, like Jim would see this is white. Like he cannot see that hue of green.
SPEAKER_03Wake up, sheeple. Green is actually blue. Blue is actually red.
SPEAKER_00Wake up, sheeple. Wake up, sheeple.
SPEAKER_03Wake up, sheeple. Dad had to come look at the color of the meat. What is that, by the way?

SPEAKER_01Oh.
SPEAKER_02I don't go to the beach that often, but I'm not sure.
SPEAKER_01Well, 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_00Mexico will be dumping this stuff in the ocean.
SPEAKER_01Recently, in the last like month, all of that bacteria has moved to Coronado. Oh. So can't swim that. Can't swim now.
