All right people, what's up this week? Sorry for the delay in the episode. I've not been feeling good. My allergies are killing me. You can tell by the way I sound that I'm all congested and shit. So I don't have much to talk about this week because, like I said I've just been, my allergies are killing me and I just got that lazy bug kicked back in me. I am working out, though. So, as lazy as I want to be, I'm not letting myself be that lazy. So I worked out Monday, tuesday and yesterday, because today's Friday Happy Valentine's Day, by the way, for all of you who celebrate that If you don't have a love of your life happy Galentine's Day or boys night out.
Speaker 1:Whatever the fuck you're going to do, enjoy it, enjoy it, have fun. If you have like a wife and kids, enjoy it, enjoy it, have fun. Uh, if you have like a wife and kids, enjoy that too. Um, if you just plan to go to the gym and be swole, congratulations on that. Pretty sure that the gyms might be empty today, who knows Cause.
Speaker 1:A lot of people like to pig out on holidays such as this one, which I don't really know if you can count that as a holiday, because we still have to go to work. So some people have requested off for what I don't know. I was about to call out sick earlier because I was just so tired, was up all night, for the most part Just tired. I don't, I don't get it, but it's fine, I'll get through it. I get through it with everything, let me see. So.
Speaker 1:The Super Bowl was last weekend. It was pretty good. The first time I didn't actually hate watching football. It's pretty intense. Other times I really don't pay attention to that shit only because you know, when I was in high school I was in the marching band and all I used to do was really like, just chill. Like a lot of the people I was in the marching band with didn't actually pay attention to the sport itself. Like the person I was in the marching band with didn't actually pay attention to the sport itself. Like the person I was dating at the time ran cross country and he was interested in becoming the next fucking Kurt Cobain. Whatever I grew his hair out and everything. They were calling him Jesus for the longest time. It was the stupidest thing. Then he cut his hair and everybody's like, oh my God, he's so handsome and I'm like bro, I was dating him before you got his hair. Anyway, that was the stupidest part of high school for me was being told that I'm dating Jesus. And then you know the back and forth of on and off, on again, off again. Dating for four years in high school, with everyone watching you, everyone judging what a year to be alive. High school, all four years. It's actually where Dan and I became friends. Um, kind of fell off a little bit, but cause of him, so cause of him. Anyway. No, it's cause of me, but it's whatever. Uh, so the Superbowl was good.
Speaker 1:The whole Kendrick Lamar halftime show was not bad. Um, I honestly didn't want to watch it at first, cause I don't really care about these beefs people have. Like these rappers have beef with one another and we're supposed to all stop and be like oh my God, he said what and that's all that's been happening this week. That's all that's been happening this week is everybody is so focused on. Oh my God, he said Drake's name on TV and he's going to get sued by Drake and this and that, and I'm like Drake is like a Karen of rap these days. Okay, it looks like he's just going to be mad about everything for the rest of his life till he dies.
Speaker 1:Also, speaking of things that don't make sense, uh, beyonce won best country album. I'm going to tell you again Beyonce, at the Grammys, won, won Best Country Album and I think that's the biggest farce that happened during the Grammys. Let me see this shit, let's see, let's see. Yes, country Album 2025. Un-fucking-believable Beyoncé entered the night with the most nominations 11 for her album Cowboy Carter, becoming the most nominated artist in Grammy history, with 99 throughout her career. In addition to the album of the year, she also won Best Country Album and Best Country Duo Group Performance.
Speaker 1:This is insane to me. This is insane to me. I feel like I'm being pranked. There's no poss. Oh my God. I feel like I want to throw up because this, this, what is happening? What's going on? Are we just doing whatever you want?
Speaker 1:Now I feel like Beyonce said, or Jay-Z said to Beyonce hey, just for laughs, to see how this goes, because you have a tribe of people behind you, why don't you put out a country album and see what happens? And Beyonce was like oh, jay-z, you're so stupid. And then one day she turned around and she goes this ain't country. And we're like bitch, what? No, no, nobody's flabbers have been gassed, okay, it's just. No, I think you took it from someone else who probably deserved it more, and I'm tired of this whole Beyehive shit. I don't care you could be part of it or not, I don't care. It's just. It's not even about who you know, because who the fuck are they connected to?
Speaker 1:And if you say Illuminati to me, I swear to love the Lord, I swear to the Lord. Okay, don't say it to me. Um, dan, that means you too, cause I know you're going to text me that shit and I'm going to get so angry all over again or I'm going to be like, what are you talking about? Because after I write, after I do this podcast, I don't remember shit of what I've said about it and I don't listen to it. I don't like how my own voice sounds, even though you know the mixing and the engineering and whatever the sound. Engineering sounds great, it's just I don't. I don't like how I sound at the end of the day, okay, so, uh, yeah, she, I don't.
Speaker 1:I think there's so many other better options out there. Like Billie Eilish won absolutely nothing, and watching the TikToks of her lose every category she was nominated in breaks my heart a little bit, only because you know you couldn't feel sadder for someone who's younger than you that has such high hopes of something, and you just see them disappointed and the level of disappointment increases with each category that your name's involved in. It's kind of why I don't like to play like bingo or any shit like that. Like you know how long I went on a cruise when I was younger I think it was my 21st birthday and they had bingo as one of the events. So of course I'm one of those people who's made to watch things. Like I'm more programmed to watch things than I am to participate, because if there's a guarantee that I'm not going to win, I don't want to be bothered. So I went to the thing with my grandmother. I played a little bit and, uh, got close but didn't win.
Speaker 1:And you know that sense of disappointment is just something else. So as an adult or further along in adulthood because at 21, I don't really feel like you're an adult yet You're just kind of like wading into the pool of adulthood. I was kind of like you know what? I don't want to feel like this ever again. So anything I've ever done that I've put 110% effort into that doesn't work out. I just fucking leave or I quit or whatever it is. And that's true of relationships too, like I was dating this guy, and what's funny is is that I hate that.
Speaker 1:I'll always remember that this bitch said this to me because I don't like her. Okay, she tried to mother me at work and I have a mother. I don't need a work mother, I have one, I have my own mother. She's alive. So she used to give me advice that was never asked for, never needed, never desired, never sought her out for. And uh, windows, you're not going to restart my shit while I'm talking, so I keep getting the notification to be update your computer, update your Windows, shut the fuck up. So this woman that I worked with her name is Donna. I worked in a nursing home for a little bit back in New York when I was recording my other podcast and again still have to figure out how to upload those back into iTunes If you guys are interested iTunes, apple podcasts. I'm an idiot.
Speaker 1:So she said to me one day when I was complaining about boyfriend woes and at this point I think I was like a year in with this person and uh, I was talking to her about it and, uh, she told me that you shouldn't date someone who can't, you know, give you like put into a relationship where you're putting putting into it. Like everybody has a different well depth of well in their body, like you know what a well is right, you pull water from it, whatever. So she said you should never date someone whose well depth isn't as much as yours, so you can't be pouring out more of yours than he is from his. And that always stuck with me because I was like what a weird thing to say, but it's always been true and I always followed that. After that, and anytime that I've been in a relationship where I'm like, wow, this fucking person is just what happened.
Speaker 1:Because when you first meet someone it's at an all-time high, all right, you're always trying to do and impress for each other and whatever and whatever. And then little by little it starts to decline. And I love how we're talking about this on Valentine's Day. Isn't this so cynical? It goes from being not really happy with each other but just like, definitely 110% going out of the way for somebody Doing something you wouldn't have done for your past partner, because you're trying to like prove past you that the reason the person dumped you is incorrect. So like, for example, say, you get dumped because you don't communicate enough. So you go into your next relationship and you're communicating too much and that person dumps you because you communicate too much. So then you go into the next one and you kind of like shut the fuck up. Like that's what it is is that there's always a chain of you thinking that you have to change yourself.
Speaker 1:I think that when you get to 30, though you kind of like are like, ah well, fuck you if you don't like me, like that's essentially what it is when you get to your 30s, you're like, yeah, well, if you don't fucking like me, then I don't fucking know what to tell you, because when I went into my relationship with my boyfriend now I kind of was like he actually lets me be myself and is not like running in another direction. I do have a story, though that kind of like makes me mad, but it's fine, we're trying to move past it, we're not trying to bring it up anymore. I don't like being ghosted, okay, and I think my boyfriend, very early on, was trying to ghost me, which is really funny because I always bring it up every now and then, because sometimes it hits a soft spot, because it's like how could you ditch all this? Okay, how could you not want all this flavor? Like not even that. But the fact that we'd already been intimate made me laugh too.
Speaker 1:I'm like what's the typical bullshit? You know you date someone or you kind of like, just hey, let's meet on an app and like, fuck around and this and that, and you just like never talk again. Meanwhile your parts have touched. And then you just walk through life and then one day just bump into them like, oh hey, trying to get like fucking milk or cottage cheese or some shit that's really unattractive at a store in front of them. Anyway, uh, yeah, parts have touched is what a picture I'm thinking about. It now makes me laugh. Like who the fuck says that parts of touched Anyway? So, yeah, early on, it didn't.
Speaker 1:It didn't start off as smooth as everybody would like to say and I'm not gonna lie to you about anything Like he and I did not start out smooth at all, it was not okay. And then, of course, you know you start doing that thing where you post for attention to be like, oh, he'll look at this and he'll be like, oh, what happened? And it happened and it worked. Trapped his ass. No, I'm kidding, uh, I love him, he's nuts, he'll be home later. Um, I'm enjoying the silence right now until his big, loud ass gets home. He knows, knows, he's loud, there's nothing new. But that shit's so funny Parts touch, sorry, I just can't get over that. So anyway, the Super Bowl was fine, it was whatever.
Speaker 1:I don't like the fact that Beyonce won for Miss Country album. We're all mad over here about it because everybody I know well, nobody really likes Beyonce or Taylor Swift at this point in my family, because I'm waiting for Taylor Swift and Travis Kelsey to break up and I'm saying it now because she might date quote, unquote losers because of personality. But they lost the Super Bowl. And it's not even a spoiler alert at this point. I'm telling you because it's been everywhere. The Eagles won, okay. And it's not even a spoiler alert at this point. I'm telling you because it's been everywhere. The Eagles won, okay, the Eagles won, and it was impressive how they stomped the shit out of the Chiefs, anyway, impressive.
Speaker 1:And then, of course, I'm yelling to my boyfriend, who's in the other room, who's in this exact computer room. I'm yelling for him to hurry up so he could tell me what's going on, because I'm just watching dudes in tight pants run back and forth on a field, understanding what scores mean, just don't understand everything else. So I'm like why they do that? What dis, why they go that way. Now, like I'm asking questions, like I'm a baby. I'm like, hey, can you come back so you can teach me things? Not that I'm ever gonna watch football again. Like I back so you can teach me things. Not that I'm ever going to watch football again. Like I don't watch anything other than the Super Bowl. I don't give a fuck about those brackets.
Speaker 1:Anyway, over the weekend, last weekend, we also saw Heart Eyes, which was really good. It was actually one of the more realistic slasher movies we've ever seen, not in violence, but just the plain fact that two people should be able to take out a killer. It's two against one. This should not be difficult. Math always exceeds expectations here. So basically it's the story of a serial killer who likes to go around killing couples on Valentine's Day. Okay, just cause. No real reason, just cause. And uh, it's. It's the. The way it opened was very. It was very like cliched. I'm sure it's not going to get the best ratings, but if you have a chance to see it, you should see it only because of its dark humor.
Speaker 1:Slash very light comedy. Slash um plays off of every ironic romance movie. There is these two people who are not on a date end up kissing out in public. They're work colleagues. Okay, she sees her ex, who she broke up with outside this restaurant because they were supposed to have like a dinner work thing. And she sees her ex outside with his new woman. So she pulls the work colleague in the mail I forget their names already. Who cares? The chick pulls the dude in in front of her ex and like kisses him in public, thereby, I guess, classifying them as a couple to whoever is watching and hard eyes is watching. So they get tracked the whole movie Like they are stalked the whole movie by this killer.
Speaker 1:And very it's good because of how realistic it is. The girl can't shoot a gun for shit, even though she tries um. Realistic because all of a sudden, every movie we're in oh yeah, I had training when I was younger and just doesn't tell the other person until a gun comes into play. So very good, it was very good. If you have a chance to see it. See it, the plot twist was really good and they even made a nod to other movies, like Fast and Furious with Hobbes and Shaw, because that's what the police officers names were. I was like, wow, that's really fucking clever. And then my boyfriend taps me and he goes, hey, hobbes and Shaw. And I'm like, yeah, yeah, fast and Furious reference, got it, got it. Movie's still on. Like, stop tapping me. No, I just laughed because he doesn't realize he's speaking louder than he should be in the movies, which I love about him because it shows a level of excitement. But it's also like, bro, there's so many other people in this movie theater, you can just lean to me and speak directly in my ear and I'll hear you.
Speaker 1:Okay, moving on, I'm back on the haunting series, hill House and Bly Manor. I'm watching all the shit Mike Flanagan put out, except Midnight Mass and that stupid Midnight Book club shit, whatever it was. Um, I did not like midnight mass and purely because the ending does not justify any of the rest of the storytelling. Like how do you ruin the ending of a vampire story for me? Like you had me. You had me the whole time by the bra straps. All right, you had me by the titty holsters and I'm watching.
Speaker 1:I'm stuck, I'm ruining my spine, leaning forward on my couch watching this thing like yee, watching it like Ooh, what's going to happen next? And you know, just watching it, just sitting watching it, and bullshit happened at the end. Okay, I'm not even going to dignify any of the storyline with you, but I'm going to just say that vampires are not angels and stay away from crazy Bible-thumping people who think that their life is going to be so different because they met with a fucking vampire anyway. So that's why I don't like that. You can give me any story you want. Okay, don't fuck up the ending. Don't give me some lackluster ending where I really don't even know what. I watched for seven other hours, because these episodes are all an hour long with miniseries. Anyway, I'm not watching it again. So the saddest one out of them I'm actually watching the Fall of the House of Usher, which I think was absolutely chef's kiss, the best one of them.
Speaker 1:The writing was extraordinary. I don't know how Mike Flanagan does it, not that he wrote it, but I'm just saying just the creativity alone. Carla Gugino kills everything she's in, everything she's in within that series. She plays the mom in the Hill House the dead mom, I should say. She plays the narrator of Bly Manor and she plays I don't know, I guess you could call her the Grim Reaper in the Fall of the House of Usher. It's just so good and she's just stellar and everything's like she puts her whole body into these, into these fucking roles, like her mind or that, and I just need her to be in more shit. That's all I'm saying. And yes, the mom from Spy Kids, that's what I'm talking about, anyway.
Speaker 1:So Hill House was one of the sadder ones I feel, and I don't recall ever feeling as emotional as I did with one of the episodes, and it has to do with the brother, luke, who is a drug addict, who's just been in and out of rehabs for like a decade now. Sorry, I just hit the mic. He's been in and out of rehab for like a decade. It doesn't seem to stick well, and all of this trauma that this family has gone through has to do with Hill House. It all stems from where they grew up. So then it goes back in time and you find out that the parents are house flippers. They take the houses, they improve them and they sell them and they move on to the next thing. So Hill House was to be their last project for their forever house. So that's the end game Fix Hill House, get out of there, whatever.
Speaker 1:But they don't know that the house has a sinister background. They don't know that. They just know that this is a really old house, like centuries old at this point, and that they just don't know what's behind it all the ghosts and all the stories and everything. And the housekeepers come with the house because of, you know, previous ownership. That was just the standard that the housekeepers came with it and that's it, the scene with the.
Speaker 1:So, luke, obviously he's seen a lot of things growing up in that house and it follows him into adulthood. And obviously his mom having committed suicide is another thing that takes a toll on him. And drugs is like his only salvation, I guess, because he doesn't have to think about what happened to him as a kid, which is just being haunted by ghosts and the memory of his mother, who he'll never meet. So he discusses how you know, he didn't think that he could make it 90 days sober, which is probably the longest he's ever been sober. And you just see what happens to him. They start with his little speech of him acknowledging his 90 day sobriety, and then they cut that off and then they show what happened as like a little mini story not a, not a flashback of anything he's done, but the fact that you know it's not even a flashback anything he's done, but the fact that you know it's not even a flashback because he did all of this shit.
Speaker 1:After that, um, they cut off his speech because it's very important to show what happens which is basically a girl he befriends in the rehab center decides to leave and just leaves without warning and um set and leaves a note behind that says don't follow me. So what does he do? He follows her, basically, but if you leave a place like that, you can't come back because they it makes it seem like you're not taking your recovery process seriously and they have more beds to offer other people. So they fill up beds really quickly because it's a popular place to be and, uh, or that facility was popular. So you see him leave, try and go get her and, um, a situation goes from bad to worse because, like throughout the episode, and it's just so painful to watch because he's trying to do the right thing by this person to get her back in there, get her clean. She leaves, uh, essentially because she can't deal with it anymore and she ends up going out and getting drugs.
Speaker 1:And he says, and he tries to get her a room, like he tries to get her someplace, to come down and try and get her back into the program, and while all this is happening he doesn't know that his twin sister is dead. So he's feeling like the twin sympathy or twin empathy, whatever it is. When one twin feels whatever the other twin is feeling. He's feeling all the stuff that she felt, I guess, like her neck hurts. His neck hurts because she fucking hung herself and snapped her neck, so he has neck pain. He said his body feels cold, like his arms and legs feel cold, and it's basically because she's dead. So, and obviously your body temp drops when you die because she's dead. So and obviously your, your body temp drops when you die because you're not regulating anything within yourself, obviously and no, I'm not a medical person, so that's just you know, based off of what I saw and, um, he's, he tries to go get her back. He fucking she's, she gets the slip on him in an alleyway because she said she's going to take her hit. That she took and then she'll be like we'll go. After that we'll go.
Speaker 1:He then ends up getting not turned around or anything. But he lost her. He doesn't know where she is now. So, of course, at that point, it's just him now and he's walking around and he's walking around all night by himself looking for her and he gets jumped. And these's walking around and he's walking around all night by himself looking for her and he gets jumped and they, these people, beat him pretty bad. They take his shoes, his jackets, and now he's just walking around in socks. What the fuck is this? Okay, um, there's a building. Management makes no sense. Sorry, I was looking at a notification I got.
Speaker 1:So he's walking back and forth and he's seeing the tall man from his childhood which is one of the ghosts in the house that wore the top hat, and he's counting down. And he's walking back and forth and back and forth and he's telling the story of how, when he was younger, he's walking back and forth and back and forth and he's telling the story of how, when he was younger, he didn't understand what. He didn't understand what death meant. So he always thought that his mom was coming back. So when he was living with his aunt he always used to look outside because there was cars that would drive by and he said that he thought that one day that his mom would get out of the car. And he said that he thought that one day that his mom would get out of the car, his mom would get out of the car and he would see her again and she would be fine and everything would be better. And obviously that never happened for him.
Speaker 1:So that just kind of like broke my heart, because you went from seeing him be in such a good place at the start of him telling his sobriety story to him being found walking back and forth with no jacket, just socks, pants, t-shirt and just all beat up in the face, whatever. And uh, he, he had called the before he was pacing back and forth. He had called the facility and was like, please, I'll sleep on the floor. He's like, just please, I need a bed. He's like I couldn't find her, I couldn't save her, I couldn't fix it. So the lady, the person running the rehab, goes where are you, we'll come get you. And his brother shows up and I'm like, thank God, it just made me feel so good for the brother to actually show up. His older brother, steven Stephen, shows up and picks him up with the woman who's running the facility and he tells him that you know, uh, stephen tells Luke that you know their, their sister Nellie, died and he said how did it happen? And he goes it was by suicide. And Luke goes no, it wasn't.
Speaker 1:But, like the, the whole thing of the episode is where it starts at a high point and it shows the decline of one person in one day for actions that he's taken to help someone else. And it just made me sad because, as a person who lost their parent very young, I can, you know, empathize with that. Like I feel that, like you always think, like I never met him, so I have no idea, but I'm told I have his laugh, I have his facial features, I have the shoulders, the wide shoulders he had, and it's just being told all that shit and not actually having seen or dealt or heard it or anything like that, I wouldn't even be able to tell you what he sounded like other than videos I've seen like home movies. So, being that I never, actually, whenever I've had the opportunity to watch this show, I've never had the opportunity to watch it alone. So there's always been someone around and I've never felt comfortable about crying next to somebody, unless it's something so devastating that I can't hold it in, like when Glenn died on the Walking Dead. That shit devastated me and my mother and it doesn't matter how many times I've seen it, it's just the saddest thing ever. So it was that part that got me, and I forget what the other one, oh yeah, so that part got me.
Speaker 1:And the last line, that the that the father says to Steve, steven, the dad says to Steven, which is basically you know, being your dad was the best part of my life, my whole life. And I was like, damn, dude, they trying to kill me with this shit. And like, even now, like I'm feeling the lump in the throat, yet before you start crying, I'm like, bro, he goes, all of this is yours now. Because he, Steven, finally realizes what he's. What he's been seeing or missing his whole life was that ghosts fucking exist. Because the whole series starts out with Steven being a skeptic and not believing that there's ghosts anywhere. So, um, he, he's gone his whole life not believing it, but he writes other people's stories about it. So he'll go write a short story, like a book of short stories about this. But he's not a believer, so none of it is actually any of his. And he wrote the book about Hill House and kind of tore his family apart because it was none of his experiences, so he has no actual idea of what happened the night his mother died. He wrote it based off of what his siblings experienced and all of his siblings resented him for that, for writing that book. But he got so much money off of it he like kind of secretly gave it to siblings. But all in all, very good.
Speaker 1:That first, that first one, bly Manor, was kind of. The only time I ever felt sad watching Bly Manor was when the housekeeper, hannah Gross, realizes that she died. Because it's the same premise. Basically you die on the property, you become a ghost there. The story itself is crazy. But the only part that actually got me upset was when they go through the entire thing because her, her Owen, the guy that she actually likes, that's the cook there and sometimes the valet, um, he, uh, he was like in love with her a little bit. Like they had this secret flirtation thing that everybody saw but nobody talked about. And um, sorry I have to click a little bit for my job. Sorry I have to click a little bit for my job, but um she, they like loved each other but just never said it out loud. And um he's.
Speaker 1:They keep spiraling back to different things that have happened with her in her subconscious, um, or what's left of it, which is different parts of her life, that happened that changed her, or different milestones in her life that are important, such as when she meets Owen, when she finds out her husband's with some other woman, when her bosses or her female boss tells her she could live a blind manner because, you know, sell your house and just live here. What if we made it a live-in position? Just live here. What if we made it a live in position? Like things like that. And when things worked out for her in a positive way.
Speaker 1:But every time she kept coming back to her, interviewing Owen as the chef, to like get a feel for him and just be like hey, if you're going to be a cook here, here's the kids ages. They're picky, they're not picky. This is what this one's like. This is like cause it's about. Oh, it's Miles and Flora are the two kids, so she's basically prepping him on what he would be doing, like you'd be running the entire kitchen because we don't have anybody else here. And I see you have, you know, reading his resume out to him. And, uh, he's trying to get her to focus because she's like, oh my God, we're doing this again. He goes, I guess so, and she was like, why is this happening? And he goes because you need to see. And she keeps seeing this symbol, like this crack in the wall, everywhere she goes and every in every like dream sequence, quote unquote, that comes their way and that's all.
Speaker 1:It is An episode of rotating through dream sequences to us anyway, to the audience of everything she's done, which is interviewing Owen, staying at the manor, having conversations with Rebecca, who was the live-in au pair at the time, and he's like I need you to focus, like I really need you, like we can't keep doing this, like you have to do something. He's like you can't just stay here and be safe. You're not that selfish. Like go help them. They need your help Because crazy shit is happening in the real world. And she still has the opportunity to help them while she can, and even though she's like a ghost, but she's like a ghost, but she's like a ghost who can touch things.
Speaker 1:So I think that's weird and it happens so early on in the episode. That's the other thing. And just to be walking around and not knowing, and then the whole episode, you just hear her reminding herself of who she is, what year it is, how old the kids are and such and such, because she doesn't want her memories to fade. And I was like Jesus Christ, bro, break my heart a little harder, why don't you? But yeah, that episode gets me every time because I'm like, oh fuck, here it is Every time I see it and she was just a good person and she didn't deserve to die the way she did and it was crazy. Like it wasn't even like a freak accident, it was just like push and that was it. But blind manners, okay, doesn't compare to Hill house. Well, neither of them compared to follow the house.
Speaker 1:Usher, I can't wait to see what the next one's going to be, to be honest with you, um, anyway, um. Oh, one more thing before I go, because I said it was going to be short today, because I don't have much, uh why? I've noticed a lot of things while driving lately and I feel like I've calmed down a lot with driving because I'm not going to be the dickhead who blocks a turning lane for no reason, because I have somewhere to go. If I'm stuck in traffic, I'm stuck in traffic and I'm not going to make anybody else stuck, okay. So riddle me this. You're driving, you come to a turn lane, like an oncoming turn lane, so like if I'm going east and west is coming towards me and there's a turn lane from the west side, am I going to fucking block that turning lane, so the people back up the other side as well, or am I going to be polite as fuck and realize we're all stuck in the same predicament and fucking just let people have the space to make their turn so at least they can go? What am I going to do? Everybody knows me, that listens to this knows that I'm just going to keep the space for them because I'm not an asshole. Keep the space for them because I'm not an asshole, okay, I don't understand how you think that it is okay to block that lane.
Speaker 1:I've seen so many people do that this week and I want to get out of my car and like throw nickels at their car Nickels and just be like hi, what the fuck are you doing at 730 in the morning? We're all trying to get somewhere. Let this. What the fuck are you doing at 7.30 in the morning? We're all trying to get somewhere. Let this person go the fuck home. You don't know if they're a first responder for shit. You don't know if they're EMT firefighter. You don't know what the fuck's going on. Let these people go home. Or let these people go get their donut from Dunkin' Donuts. Let people enjoy life.
Speaker 1:I swear to God, the day where I don't have to go into an office and see motherfuckers driving this stupidly is the day that I happily cry on this fucking podcast because I just don't get it. Like, people are so road ragey and I thought I was the worst. It is so much worse in Florida. Just let people drive. Anyway, I just don't. I just don't get it.
Speaker 1:Today I have a lot of prep work to do on myself. Yesterday I went to European wax center and then I got a pedicure, and today, yes, a pedicure. And today I'm going to wax my eyebrows and get myself a haircut and I'm already tired thinking about it. But I wanted to make sure that I at least talk to you guys, because you are my creativity. You are my way out. You're my way out of having a nine to five and being bored all the time. I legitimately almost went back to sleep.
Speaker 1:Sometimes when I work from home, I can't get out of bed immediately, like I'll go grab my laptop and stuff, but there's no other place I would rather be than laying in my bed, like just sitting in there, not like just sitting in there relaxing whatever, like I just I can't just ultimately get up and sit at a desk unless I'm going into the office, which I have to start doing because it's just getting bad and I don't want to be on any list from corporate saying that hey, keep an eye on her, why isn't she coming into the office when she needs to be? And it's like because motherfuckers cough in there. Motherfuckers cough in there and don't know how to stay home. Okay, and I'm tired of it. Stop going into the office. If you're sneezing and coughing, I don't care if it's allergies. We went through COVID and now we just eye everybody. And, yes, everybody is me. I side eye everybody.
Speaker 1:Oh, and, by the way, for the fucking girl who called me aggressive with my client on Wednesday, fuck you, how about that? You don't even know what aggressive is. You don't know what aggressive is. If you think that the tone I took with my clients is aggressive. I am very fucking professional at work. Like I even told my manager yesterday and she was like, oh, I need to hear this because she knows I'm not aggressive If I I'm like joking around, trying to be funny. I even told her I was like maybe my side ping she didn't find appropriate, but I was like I was not fucking insinuating that the client is lazy. Like in no way, shape or form did I say anything crazy.
Speaker 1:She told me on on Wednesday to not not my manager, but the project manager of this client told me to you know, let's take it easy on them because they had COVID, the flu, etc. And I'm like that's fine. I'm just genuinely asking where they're at with this project on their end, because I've heard nothing for almost a month and you've had all the documentation I gave you before y'all got sick. So I just want to know where stuff is, because everybody is saying that it's nobody's job to do this and they're all pointing fingers and someone needs to sort it out before I fucking either put this shit on delayed or I just put this shit as bad business because everyone's fucking lying to me. So make up your mind. She said I was like I wasn't trying to sound aggressive, I'm just genuinely curious where they're at with the project. And she goes oh, it's coming off a tad aggressive. I'm like okay, all right. I was like okay, I was like noted, I'll pull it back. Pull it back, bitch. I fell so far back. I was silent the rest of the meeting because I don't have nothing to say to bitches like that. I really don't. I thought it was so funny Aggressive.
Speaker 1:I use aggressive tones on here because I can and have no overhead, all right. I don't use aggressive tones at work because I don't want to be talked to, reprimanded, disciplined, none of it. The less people talk to me, the better. That's why I always like to skate under the fucking rug here. That's why I always like to skate under the fucking rug here Like I don't. I don't want to be on the radar, I want to be so far under it that nobody finds me. Okay, I just want to do my work and go home Like bitch. If I can't be friends with you or talk to you, then you know what. Then we really don't need to say shit at all, because she's a project manager. She's gonna be on my ass if I haven't done what I need to do and I just I'm not dealing with it. Okay, if you want to be stupid about your job, that's fine. Don't pull me down with stupidity, please. That's not my, that's not my deal anyway. So that's it for me.
Speaker 1:I'm sorry it was so short, it's just. I didn't have much and you can obviously hear I'm not feeling too good my throat, anyway, my throat and my nose, and I'm really tired and I could have. So went back to sleep this morning because I was laying down with my laptop in front of me and I, like, laid down on my side, my eyes closed and I said, oh fuck. So then I got up and I was like Nope, nope, nope, nope, we're up, we're up, we're up, and that's it. I am going out to dinner tonight. It'll be fantastic. Hopefully my stomach cheers up, because I had a bad stomach morning, night and evening yesterday. So love you guys. Thank you so much for taking the time out to listen to this loony shit and I will catch you all next week On time, I promise. On time. Bye, love you, bye.
