What's up people? I know I'm a day late, but I was very tired yesterday, very lazy, I should say Not tired, just lazy. And the reason being is that I'm just tired. I either get good sleep one day or shitty sleep the next, so today might be a shorty. So, depending upon how much I have to talk about, which I don't have many things to comment on.
Speaker 1:This week I did do my best to try and observe shit, but ain't nothing happening. So I am working from home full time. So I'm going to have like less interaction with people outside, which is amazing, and for anyone who knows me, knows that that is going to be the highlight of my career. So for the next couple of months I will be home and it's going to be nice and quiet and I can't fucking, can't, fucking wait. I mean, it's been this entire week has just been so, you know, perfect, and there's been no issues and no one's coughed in my face, no one's coughed near me, because nobody's home except me. Very blessed, very blessed to have like a very convenient job that will let me do this. But the hassle let me tell you something Trying to get that work accommodation form filled out was like the worst fucking thing ever, and I'm gonna tell you why.
Speaker 1:It's because, I excuse me, I had to click that. I had to go back and forth with my doctor's office and with my job because they won't accept just a doctor's note stating for me to work from home. My employer has a specific form they want filled out and if it isn't filled out to their liking, they will reject it or they will give you some bullshit sidesteppy here. Well, here's what we can do. That's not what I asked for. What I asked for is full-time from work, like full-time at home, excuse me while working, because my job can be done from home. There is no real reason and I've had this conversation internally with a whole bunch of my coworkers there is no reason why I need to come into this office. There's really no reason. It's just you guys want to make sure people are doing their job. You know how you make sure people are doing their job by making and keeping them happy. The only way that I'm going to be happy doing my job and continue doing it, the way I do it, which is very well, is by being home in my own environment, where I don't have to leave my house and get pissed off at traffic and you know, deal with people in the office who like to sneeze and cough and just come into the office regardless of their health and shit and put everybody else at risk.
Speaker 1:Like we sit right on top of each other. It's not like we're separated by much, we're separated by maybe like an inch of cubicle and that's it. And then some of them are just open because a lot of us are back to back in the same little cubby hole and I'm like dude, I don't want to do this. Like this is the most miserable I could ever be at a job is, you know, trying to work and I'm listening to these stupid fucking guys talk about creatine protein powder and oh, I just stopped it. Shut the fuck up, bruh, shut up.
Speaker 1:It is eight in the morning. Like you know, there's so many other things we could talk about. Okay, I don't want to hear about your protein creatine nonsense. Like I legitimately just have an air pod in all day because I can't take it. I'd rather hear half a conversation than a full one from those jerks behind me. They're not jerks, they're nice coworkers, but just sometimes it's a little too early. It's just a little too early to have certain conversations and that's one of them Like gym practices and all this stuff. Shut the fuck up. Just shut up now. Get away from me In any case.
Speaker 1:So I started doing some rewatching of things. Oh right, hold up. Did I talk about this? I did not talk about this. No, I mentioned it last time. Okay, so I've been rewatching some movies, specifically the Saw series, and I have to tell you that there's like a bunch of things you don't notice initially when you watch those movies that you notice the second time around. So I'm going to give you a good example of this.
Speaker 1:One is that a lot of the cops on the cases are profiling Jigsaw, right, they're profiling the serial killer, which technically he isn't, because he's giving you a choice and if you die that's because of you, not him, but he's like the mastermind behind the traps. Could you imagine dude, an engineer being a murderer? That's so crazy. But it's so cool because he just thinks up the craziest ways to punish people for taking advantage of their life and not being grateful. Like you know, I already said I'm like, if I get caught in one of those traps, I'm not going to be one of those people who sits there and panics for like half the allotted time they have Like, oh no, what is this Bitch? You know what it is. You went to bed normal, you woke up and now your face is in a cage. What do you think this is about? This is some saw shit. This is a jigsaw puzzle. Get it Jigsaw puzzle. That's stupid. And another thing we're not doing here is puns.
Speaker 1:So, yeah, watching Saw and watching those are the two big things. The cops who are profiling Jigsaw still act like they have no idea who this guy is. Secondly, people who know about Jigsaw who don't understand that when shit is not normal and they're either chained to something or have something chained around their face, their abdomen, whatever it is that they still are panicking Like they don't know. They have like maybe 60 seconds to do something before they get killed. It's every movie too, every fucking movie I watched and me and the boyfriend are watching fucking these Saw movies and every time I go.
Speaker 1:You can't be serious Like you can't be for real about this. Okay, there is a 90% chance that you should already know, going into this situation, that you were taken and brought into this fucking maze of bullshit. You have to do. They did like. You can't. I'm sorry, you can't, okay, you can't be like, oh, what happened? Why is this thing on my face? Oh my God, oh my God, start panicking. You can't, because if you live in a jigsaw world and you know why people are, you know why this is happening to people not why, but that this is happening to people. You can't just, you know, go start panicking anyway, because you're wasting time. That's the thing. So, like I'm watching these people struggle, trying to take the shit off of them and I'm like you're wasting time, bitch. You're wasting time and I cannot wait to see what happens, because this is what he's talking about. You are wasting time in your life by doing bad shit and people notice.
Speaker 1:The wrong person noticed and did this to you, but maybe you deserved it a little bit. You know what I mean. Maybe you deserved it a little bit. It a little bit. You know what I mean. Maybe you deserved a little bit. Someone ignoring their kid and a whole bunch of other shit, and it's like maybe you deserved it. I feel like you did a little bit. You had a nice family. You have a whole bunch of other stuff going for you. He also taps into people's rage.
Speaker 1:I think which one was that I don't remember which one it was with the doctor, uh, with the ER trauma doctor, and the fucking guy with the, with the kid who got killed in the car accident. I remember if it was this. No, the second one was the house, I think the third one, yes, the third one, I think, was that one where the doctor has to keep him alive or else the, uh, the thing around her neck will go off and it's all like shotgun bullets to the face. It's crazy. It was the craziest thing I've ever seen, but very well built. Obviously I hope you don't hear any of the background noise because they're mowing outside and it's just really loud. But yeah, the third one was good. I liked that one. The second one was okay. He was trying to teach him a lesson about about patients, fucking what's his name?
Speaker 1:Donnie Wahlberg's character, the police officer Jigsaw, takes his son and puts him in a house with a whole bunch of like criminals who were arrested by the little boy's son father, excuse me. So Donnie Wahlberg's son is in the house with a couple of perps who Donnie Wahlberg had arrested. So of course that's crazy. They don't find that out till the end. But this big beefy motherfucker. The way he gets killed is absolutely hilarious, because how does he die? Anyway, I've watched like 10 of these movies. I think that's all that's out is 10. And I'm waiting for the next one to come out, because I think that's gonna be dope.
Speaker 1:And what's funny is that, you know, watching Letter Kenny and seeing McMurray, I recognize certain actors face. So the one spiral, the one with Chris Rock, has McMurray in it in the beginning and that's hilarious. So any of you who watch Letter Kenny out there maybe not a lot of people, but anybody who's watched Letter Kenny and knows the character McMurray I was like, bro, that guy talks with his full mouth. Because McMurray is like considered a mumbler on the show. You can't ever understand what he's saying and the spelling bee is the craziest piece of evidence of that. Because he tries to play they have an adult spelling bee and he tries to play it up too hard. So it's almost like he had a stroke because he's not opening his mouth enough to talk. So he's like that's what I said and it's like no, bro, that's not what you said.
Speaker 1:I love Tannis too, because she brought the tape recorder and recorded him because she saw it in the movie Dick Tracy, like it's just simple minded shit like that that keeps me entertained lately, like my boyfriend watched the last episode of Invincible yesterday and everything that happened in that show. I'm like looking at him like how can you watch such sad shit? Meanwhile, I grew up watching Law and Order SVU, where every other episode some girl was assaulted. And then I'm just like, oh yes, stabler, let's get that done. Benson, you're useless, huh? I don't really care about Olivia Fucking. What was his name? John Stabler, I don't remember. Detective Stabler was out here clotheslining bitches who ran from him. And Olivia Benson's like oh, da, da, da. Like she's got her own shit going on where she just strolls up casually or like jogs up Like she was going to do anything anyway. Anyway, I'm getting off topic. Fuck.
Speaker 1:But those Saw movies there's a whole bunch of things that I noticed and there's a whole lot of this might seem really sexist, so I don't really know how to say it, so I'm just going to say it. I feel like men have a higher death rate in Jigsaw's puzzles than women, and I think it's because women can be feral. Okay, women can go dog, shit crazy at the drop of a hat. And the other thing is is that men, if I can say this, men think that they're just going to break a fucking machine open with their bare hands. And I'm going to tell you something. Whoops, sorry about that. I hit the button. The thing about that is is that that's fine that you think in a previous life you could just you know, I'm going to rip this metal open. You're not a Viking bro. We grew out of that. We grew out of that when we didn't have to like hunt and fight our meals. Sorry about the oops button push. I was trying to fix something on the bottom of it and I set it off. My bad Females are more like you know what. I'm going to kill every motherfucker in this room until I figure out how to get out of this.
Speaker 1:And that's exactly what happened in one of those movies too. That's another funny part, is that? That's what I noticed. Is that this one bitch in I think it was. Was it the final one? I think it was saw the final act or something, where he had a where the bad cop fucking set it up so that they they thought they all had to be against each other, but they all realized that the end, like the two or three at the end had to figure it out that they had to work together and it just didn't work. Um, but the timelines are all fucked up too, like I have to. I really don't understand the timelines of some some of them, cause they seem to cross over each other a lot. So there's that. But, um, yeah, so I'm just going to have to deal with that. Uh, conclave was good. I watched Conclave and what I learned is that they just like to stress out Ralph Fiennes for two and a half hours. That's what I learned. It was very good in the way that it was.
Speaker 1:It's adapted from a book of the same name. Kind of want to read the book. I think it's on my Amazon list. I might read it because they might have more detail, because sometimes you read a book and you watch a movie and there's a lot of stuff left out, because I'm pretty sure Harry Potter would have definitely been a longer book and a longer movie had they put all those details in there, and I'm pretty sure they skipped over a lot.
Speaker 1:I haven't watched Harry Potter. For me, that movie is not really a rewatch. I know a lot, a lot of people around the holidays like to rewatch that and that's that's not for me. Not to say that you can't do it, just saying that I don't need to rewatch that movie. So, um, I really don't need to rewatch Harry Potter, but I can rewatch shows. Has background noise, and I was another thing that I did this week, which is really funny, because I've had a lot of time in between my projects at work. I've been watching Stranger Things. I got back into a real heavy, and what's funny is that I watched like a season a day. So I'm on season four now. So I watched season two on Tuesday, season three on Wednesday, yesterday. Yesterday, I took a break because I was halfway through season four by the end of Wednesday night, because I'm one of those people who cannot watch new shows when they go to bed because I'll be up all night.
Speaker 1:Example is the first season of the Sinner sinner. Um, it was. It's such a good show too. I wish they would have brought it back, but they canceled it. Um, because no one watches shit on USA. Is USA even a channel? I don't even know what channels exist anymore, but, um, yeah, so I watched the sinner and even though I had to work, I got to work from home the next day. It was miserable because I think I stayed up until like 3am and had to be up at like seven. It was so miserable. But I did watch the entire first season and was like holy shit, that's what happened to her. That's like my reaction to anything.
Speaker 1:Jessica Biel plays a woman who killed someone on the beach because she was triggered by a song, as she heard, and they have to figure out why it happened. And, um, bill Pullman is in it, right, hold on, let me just double check what his name is. They had a lot of good seasons. I forgot a lot of the shit. Let's see. Yes, bill Pullman plays detective Harry Ambrose, and Jessica Biel is in the first season. Her name is Cora, so he's basically trying to prove a point that she's trying to prove the point. He's trying to prove the point that she didn't just do this. This wasn't something that was under her control. It was something from mental stress, from a situation she was in and he had to, like, go so deep into this thing to figure out what happened. And you just have to watch it. Okay, the center. All of those seasons are good. They had Matt Bomer in one of the seasons. They had um, who else was in it?
Speaker 1:There's not too many memorable people, because the only two seasons I remember are the first and second one, which is kind of bad. But once you like finish watching something like that like I'm so quick to let shit go after I've watched things that it's just really good of me to just drop it because I'll obsess. I'm one of those people I used to do that at work too, like I never knew how to leave my stuff at work and then I took meds but I was able to just like clock out and leave it at work and everybody was always impressed by that. And I'm like, because I'm not getting paid after my time to think about this shit anymore, so why am I going to do it? Can't be that honest. But you know, sorry, I had to take a sip of something. So let's see what else can we talk about. Because, yeah, conclave, sorry. So Conclave is about. I'm going to read you a little synopsis of it, because, even though I know what it's about, I don't want it to sound or come off stupid. So let's see Conclave synopsis. All right, here we go. So Conclave is a 2024 political thriller film directed by Edward Berger and written by Peter Straughn, based on the 2016 novel by Robert Harris. The film stars Ralph Fiennes, stanley Tucci, john Lithgow, sergio Castelletti Castellito, excuse me and Isabella Rossellini, who is a fantastic nun in that movie me and Isabella Rossellini, who is a fantastic nun in that movie.
Speaker 1:In the film, cardinal Thomas Lawrence, which is Ralph Fiennes' character, organizes a conclave to elect the next pope and finds himself investigating secrets and scandals about the major candidates. So in the beginning, you see the pope is passing. They're praying around his bed. John Lithgow's character's there. Stanley Tucci's character's there. Ralph F praying around his bed Uh, john Lithgow's characters there. Uh, stanley Tucci's characters there. Ralph Fiennes' character they're all in the. They're all around the bed while they're pretty much praying as like a way to say goodbye to the Pope. And, um, ralph Fiennes becomes like fucking Nancy Drew over there and starts to put puzzle pieces together of things. And, obviously, john Lithgow's character he's. Has he ever played a good person besides being on third rock from the sun, where he was a fucking alien? No, so immediately, fingers start getting pointed at him for certain shit.
Speaker 1:Um, you just find out one thing after the other and you're like oh my God, what? That's what I did for a good portion of the movie. And, uh, this is what I mean when I say like all they did was stress fucking Ralph Fiennes out for hour for the audience's two and a half hours and it's like all right, what did I learn? At the end I was like I'm sorry, he said what. He said what now? I even texted my mom. I was like I'm sorry, he said what now? And she goes yeah, I know right, like that's the response Because she knew I was watching the movie. And I got towards the end and I'm like I'm at the end now where they're talking to who they elected as pope, and I'm like I'm sorry, he said what kind of surgery. And that was it.
Speaker 1:But there's a whole bunch of out something, a conversation between John Lithgow and the Pope. I'm not going to give away too much of this movie because I do want people to see it who are listening, but the amount of bullshit. If you don't know what a conclave is, apparently I'll tell you what it is. It is a sequestering or a grouping of deacons or sorry cardinals who all get together and have to choose the next Pope, but they're cut off from the outside world so they can't leave the property on which they're on. They cannot use cell phones or any electronic devices for outside shit. They're literally fenced in, like the type of technology that was in the purge is what they're using to keep these guys in until they come to a decision. And then outside the walls there's a whole bunch of like bombings and shit going on which you know plays into it in a way, because then they all have to. They all shift politically to like kind of a racial conversation about what's going on and who should be next because of this race or whatever. And it's just really interesting because as much as you hear about it about conclaves and stuff which isn't isn't much you just wait for the smoke to come out the top to let you know that someone's been chosen. Uh, you don't hear much about it.
Speaker 1:And the reason why I watched this movie is and I have to tell you this is also why I need to stop going into the office, because I was going to offend some people very soon. This guy that works in my office was having a conversation. He's a manager. He was having a conversation with a bunch of other people like peers of mine. So a manager is having a conversation with some peers of mine. So employees at his level and from his level, looking down, it's employees. Sorry, I'm explaining this all kinds of weird, but they were having a conversation about conclave or they were actually cause this is what was coming up.
Speaker 1:Ash Wednesday was coming up and they were talking about getting their ashes and then they started talking about religion and stuff and I'm like, do you know that? In my head I'm like do you know that's not appropriate to say here any of this. Like we have this conversation in WebEx, ping each other, message each other. Nobody wants to hear anything about your like, religious affiliations and all this shit. Like I don't hate, I used to be religious back in the day, not so much anymore, sorry, jesus. But you know, keep that shit out of here. There's like a whole separation of church and state thing. We are working. Talk about this shit on your own time. I know y'all are friends because y'all talk the most bullshit.
Speaker 1:We got this lady over here talking about her divorces and shit at the top of her lungs, or talking about breastfeeding at the top of her lungs and all this other stuff and I'm kind of like, oh my God, this is the one that I kept saying save it for the Christmas party. Her Save it for, like holiday parties where we're all like bored and no topics and she's like, oh, you want to hear about my life? And everybody just leans in like for sure, since we have nothing else to talk about but him. He was cool up till this moment and this is the moment that got me mad. He said that if you really want to watch a movie about Conclave or anything that has to do with it, he said watch Angels and Demons, which is the sequel to the Da Vinci Code. And I almost threw my entire desk at him.
Speaker 1:Conclave is historical. You're talking about a fictional character and all this other shit in a potentially historical setting. Like we're talking about seeing formulas in front of us and shit. We're talking about going to the Vatican and just being in that area. We're not talking about an entire movie. We're not comparing two conclave movies, it's not. We're talking about Tom Hanks running around with the most bogus haircut I've ever seen of that year and we're talking about a movie where it's based solely on the conclave and all those fucking priests and Isabella Rossellini being the shit as a nun. She was absolutely perfect in that role.
Speaker 1:She did like a mic drop in that movie that I was like, fuck yeah, sorry, lord, fuck yeah, just like that, because she gave a crazy. She gave like the shortest speech or sentence that was ever needed to put someone in their place in front of all the cardinals that were there to make this decision. Okay, so like they're having a conversation. It's getting heated over John Lithgow's, not like John Lithgow's loyalty and why would you do all of this shit? And he's pretending the Pope told him to do it and I'm not pretending, but he's like the Pope told me to do it and I didn't ask why, or I wasn't allowed to know the reason. Isabella Rossellini pops up and she goes you did this because this, this and this boom. And then fucking left and I was like, oh, she goes. I know as nuns we're supposed to be silent in the back. She's like but I'm going to speak in front of you. And then she said the thing and fucking dipped and I was like, bro, if there was ever a more spiritual mic drop, it's that one. It was an amen, bye, bitch, that's what it was. It was a toodaloo of the highest power. But anyway, hadn't heard that shit.
Speaker 1:That shit brought back crazy memories of being at church and not wanting to, and she sandwiches at my grandmother's house afterwards because that's what we did on Sundays. We used to go to church at the ass crack of dawn and then we would go to my grandparents' house and have brunch, which was like the hardest Italian bread you could think of, with bacon. And my grandmother still made some fire bacon back in the day Don't know about now, but she doesn't really like to cook much. She did show me her food, though, but she said she couldn't. She made what she made.
Speaker 1:She made picadillo, which is basically ground up. It's like ground beef with a whole bunch of seasonings and some green olives. Throw it over rice. It's a poor man's meal. I throw, instead of green olives, I throw diced potatoes, because I don't really care about olives, even though the boyfriend does, but he doesn't care, he'll just eat it.
Speaker 1:So she made it one day and she showed me her plate and she was like unfortunately I got sick and couldn't eat it, but it looks delicious and she's like and now I have, she goes. Now I have meat for she goes, I have meat for pasta tomorrow. And I was like yum, because the way you season picadillo, if you follow. The fucking recipe is not how you would season meat for for Italian food. So probably why you're sick, grandma. Anyway, sorry, grandma, anyway, I love you very much, but you know, still crazy.
Speaker 1:Uh, some guy requested death by firing squad. Uh, I was looking at that the other day too. He was like the last person to ask for that and uh, I'm going to look up this uh fucking article really quick, cause it's crazy of seven days ago All right, south Carolina inmate executed by firing squad for first time in the U? S since 2010. This was. This was amazing. I was like when the fuck did they stop doing this? This was amazing. I was like when the fuck did they stop doing this? This is in Columbia, south Carolina.
Speaker 1:A convicted double murderer has been executed by firing squad, the first such execution in the United States since 2010,. According to the South Carolina Department of Corrections. The execution of Brad Sigmund, 67, by the South Carolina Department of Corrections on Friday is only the fourth firing squad execution in the US since capital punishment was reinstated in 1976, according to the Death Penalty Information Center. Why is there a Death Penalty Information Center? Who is reporting on this shit? Like, yeah, I need to know.
Speaker 1:Sigmund chose firing squad over the two other state-approved methods of execution lethal injection or the electric chair. He was pronounced dead by a physician at 6.08 pm Eastern Time. Officials said at a news conference Friday Sigmund was convicted of the 2001 bludgeoning deaths of his ex-girlfriend's parents. After their murders, sigmund kidnapped his ex-girlfriend at gunpoint, but she managed to escape. In a final statement shared by his lawyer, sigmund said I want my closing statement to be one of love and a calling to my fellow Christians to help us end the death penalty. But you chose fucking firing squad, bro. What do you mean? Put an end to it. What the fuck does that mean? We're going to put an end to it, oh God, anyway, let me see. Okay, sorry, they had some updates on my fucking team chats. He quoted several Bible passages that emphasize forgiveness and the law. Nowhere does God in the New Testament give man the authority to kill another man, he said.
Speaker 1:One of Sigmund's attorneys, gerald Boe King said shortly after the execution that his client's death was horrifying and violent. Yeah, his fucking firing squad is basically choosing to get shot to death Like what he chose one of. Okay, he chose the firing squad knowing that three bullets would shatter his bones and destroy his heart. King sent a statement, but that was the only choice he had after the state's three executions by lethal injection inflicted prolonged and potentially torturous deaths on men he loved like brothers Okay. King described Sigmund as a man who has devoted himself to his faith and to ministry and service to all around him, who committed no acts of violence during his 23 years in prison. King said the state had failed to provide information about drugs used in a lethal injection. Brad only wanted assurances that these drugs were not expired or diluted or spoiled what any of us would want to know about the medication we take or the food we eat, much less the means of our death, he said. Sigmund became the oldest person executed by the state, according to King.
Speaker 1:In the hours ahead of Sigmund's scheduled execution, several protesters gathered outside the prison where he's incarcerated, calling for an end to capital punishment. They held banners proclaiming all life is precious and no more killing. South Carolina Republican Governor Henry McMaster declined a bid for clemency from Sigmund. Friday evening, attorneys for Sigmund filed a petition for executive clemency with the governor asking to commute his death sentence to life imprisonment without parole. Saying in a news release, sigmund committed his crimes and stood trial on the grip of an undiagnosed inherited mental illness.
Speaker 1:Here we go, bro. You can't always blame it on that. You can't always blame it on that. Let's see how firing squad executions work. This is what I want to get to. Sigmund's execution took place at the Broad River Correctional Institution in Columbia, south Carolina, where all executions in the state are carried out. Sigmund received let me see Sigmund received his special requested meal Wednesday night. He was given an individual meal from Kentucky fried chicken that include mashed potatoes and green beans. Bro, you fucking fell with the green beans In 2022,.
Speaker 1:The South Carolina Department of Corrections detailed the room setup and protocols for how a firing squad execution would be carried out. The rifles used by the three-member firing squad would would be carried out. The rifles used by the three-member firing squad would not be visible to witnesses. The department said at the time all three rifles will be loaded with live rounds. I would hope so. What the fuck? The firing squad is thought to cause nearly instant unconsciousness, and death from an exsanguinating hemorrhage follows shortly thereafter. Dr jonathan groener, emeritus professor of clinical surgery at the Ohio State University College of Medicine, told CNN Sunday the longest fucking sentence to describe a college, the three or four executioners firing large caliber bullets. Caliber bullets at the heart would instantly stop the blood flow to the brain which, like a cardiac arrest, causes rapid loss of brain function.
Speaker 1:Jeffrey Collins, a reporter for the Associated Press and one of the witnesses to the execution, said at a news conference that Sigmund wore a black jumpsuit and was completely strapped into a chair. Was he going to do run? King read Sigmund's final statement before a hood was placed over his head. His arms were bare, but no other skin was visible. Shots rang out at 6.05. Witnesses involuntarily flinched when the shooting began. A small red stain appeared on Sigmund's chest, he said. A doctor performed an examination for about 90 seconds and Sigmund was declared dead at 6.08,. According to Collins and the South Carolina Department of Corrections, it took him three minutes. Witnesses were unable to see the guns. According to Anna Dobbins, a reporter for WYFF who also acted as a witness for the execution, the three shots rang out at the same time, she said.
Speaker 1:Collins, who has witnessed all three methods of execution, said that the firing squad was much quicker than other methods. The time from the shots being fired to the time death was declared was a little over two minutes. He described a very somber, quiet environment inside the execution chamber. Each of the three executioners is an employee of the Department of Corrections and volunteered to be part of the team. Whatever, the firing squad fired from 15 feet away and witnesses could see the right side profile of the condemned inmate. Each of the executioners fired once from their rifles using a 308A Winchester Tap Urban Bullets, shane said at the news conference. The bullet provides rapid expansion and fragmentation.
Speaker 1:Holy fuck, let's see, but that's crazy. Could you imagine? Hey, I want to get shot to death. That is absolutely crazy. I will plug in my device when I feel like it. Sorry, my laptop's trying to yell at me to hey, your battery's low. That's crazy.
Speaker 1:In 2021 is when they passed the law allowing execution by firing squad but named the electric chair the state's primary means of execution. Okay, stop, bruh. I don't know what keeps fucking. I know, bruh, I know, plug it in. Don't tell me what to do. How much time do I have left on this thing? Hold up. I have 38 minutes Shut up. Anyway, sorry, I had to look at the battery. So that's, that's really crazy about that.
Speaker 1:That guy chose to get shot to death. I mean, there's probably. You know, I don't trust lethal injection either, only because I do hear that it can be painful if they fuck it up and I don't know that that's gotten any better. But uh, yeah, I don't know who knows. Uh, other big thing that, honestly, who cares to be honest with you? Um, you know how I w I went over how fucking Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi are moving to. Who cares?
Speaker 1:To the UK, sorry, moving to the UK. What is this? What's happening? What happened here? What happened here? And K logistics is part of a bigger GL. What does that even mean? I don't know what that means. Let me see something. Clients, no activity. Let's see, she said that something about one of my clients is bigger. Are they a hand? Okay? So what the fuck does that matter? What does it matter that they're bigger? A hand k logistics okay, uh, so what does that mean? It's delayed. Yeah, that's the one having issues with. Yeah, anyway. So my boss doesn't listen, or she does listen, because I'm having issues with one of these clients and getting their third party to work with me and I'm just not in the mood to deal with it today and it's a Friday. Leave me alone.
Speaker 1:So, in regards to celebrities moving out of country, we have another one, leaving Rosie O'Donnell Bye bitch. I don't know how many people care about her, but Rosie O'Donnell is out the dough to Ireland, apparently. The actress and comedian posted a video on TikTok on Tuesday in which she shared that she's moved to Ireland with her child Clay in mid-January, saying although I was never someone who thought I would move to another country, that's what I decided would be the best for myself and my 12-year-old child. She made enough money off of the US. I guess she's going to go to Ireland and figure it out. O'donnell explained that she moved to Ireland on January 15th and is in the process of getting her Irish citizenship as she has Irish grandparents.
Speaker 1:Whatever, o'donnell, clearly it's been pretty wonderful. The people are so loving and so kind, so welcoming, and I'm very grateful. I miss my other kids, I miss my friends, I miss many things about life there at home and I'm trying to find a home here in this beautiful country. And when it's safe for all citizens to have equal rights there in America, that's when we will consider coming back. Knew it, it's always like a pretend thing to be like oh, I want to explore other countries and you know, live over there and you know, see what it's like. It always comes back to politics. We can't just do shit because we want to. It has to be like, politically motivated now, like, oh, I'm going to have butter pecan ice cream because Trump told me to like what? No, it's the dumbest thing. The League of their Own star continued. It's been heartbreaking to see what's happening politically, and hard for me personally as well. The personal is political, as we all know, oh my God. Later on in the video, o'donnell explained her reasoning for sharing the news of her move. I just felt like we needed to take care of ourselves and make some hard decisions and follow through. And now, as we're getting settled, I was ready to post this and tell everyone what's been going on. Is ready to post this and tell everyone what's been going on.
Speaker 1:O'donnell is not the only celebrity to move out of the US. In recent months, personalities included Ava Longoria, who cares, ellen DeGeneres, who definitely cares, richard Gere nobody cares, for sure and others have also moved on, moved abroad. Shut the fuck, shut the fuck up. Like you can't just move there and just be happy to have moved there. You have to put this is what I'm saying. Okay, this is what I mean. Like there's so many things that I've seen of.
Speaker 1:Instead of just doing something because you want to, you always have to have a message behind it. Like nobody's sponsoring your move to Ireland, you chose to do that. Who are you advertising this for? Like that's what I don't understand. Like people are just saying shit, to say shit now, and it makes no sense to me why celebrities feel they have to be like hey, we moved here, you can too. No, you know why we can't? Because we don't have your money, bitch. We don't have your money, we don't have fuck off money. Okay, we have stay put money. All right, if we all had fuck off money, do you think like people would still live in this country if they could just leave whenever they wanted to? No, and I'm not going to go into debt to do it either, because you are not worthy of following either. What has Rosie O'Donnell contributed? I have not heard about Rosie O'Donnell in a good couple years, up until this article where she's moving. See how interesting that is People out here making themselves look interesting by posting crazy shit about moving.
Speaker 1:You already moved in January. Stay gone silently, bitch. Stay gone silently. You moved already. Move in silence. Why are you letting people know your movements. Never have I ever been more irked at someone like that. That's why I always used to get mad when people post their fucking. Oh I love him, oh I hate him, oh, I love this. One more, though, on Facebook and shit, make your moves in silence.
Speaker 1:We all out here with this bullshit of we listen and we don't judge, but I'm judging and I'm listening. Okay, there's so much judgment. Me and my boyfriend do that shit. I'm like look at this shit. And he goes Ooh, like like we do the banter. It's just, I don't want to do the banter right now because he's not here. My allergies are killing me right now. I'm gonna have to end this early soon Because I can't breathe out my nose.
Speaker 1:So, speaking of things that don't make sense, considering I have my work accommodation to be home all the time, I've actually been outside more than I'd like. No, I'm kidding, it's pretty. My boyfriend took me to this area called Baldwin Park and there's a nice little lake and you can walk around it and it's like two and a half miles, which we do in 45 minutes, which is a lot of fun. We talk and we kind of like obviously we're drinking water because it's crazy outside and it's just nice. It's nice instead of being in the gym. And we decided, if we don't go to the gym, we're going to do that, and we've been walking a lot more than actually going to the gym. Like yesterday was my first time back in the gym and months I think, because a lot of the time I'll work out at home instead, like I'd prefer to work out at home.
Speaker 1:There's a lot of I have asthma and there's like a lot of not wanting to be around unclean people in my life, like I don't want to go to the gym and you know smell someone's BO or you know a whole bunch of other stuff. Or look at someone who's been on a machine that's sweat all over it and you know wipes it down and it's still wet and you're like, oh great, like ruins your day and I'm just not up for that. So we did go to the gym yesterday. We went to his gym he doesn't like plan of fitness whatever and, uh, we worked out. We did strength workouts. I didn't do any cardio. I feel good.
Speaker 1:I'm sure tomorrow, though, because usually my body feels it like two days later Um, my body's going to hurt. That's all I'm going to say, uh, but yeah, my allergies are trying to take me out, so I have to go because I'm not going to hurt. That's all I'm going to say. But yeah, my allergies are trying to take me out, so I have to go because I'm not going to blow my nose while I record this, but I'm not going to keep sniffling either. So, yeah, so working from home full time but still seeing outside is pretty interesting. It's like backwards kind of, but the thing with that is is that I walk around with him and there's other people out there, but their conversations, like the sound that passes, lasts about 20 seconds and then we're back in silence just talking to each other. There was one lady, though, that made me mad and I'm like this is why I don't like people, and this is before I go. This is my last story.
Speaker 1:We were walking on Wednesday it was Wednesday, no Tuesday. We went walking Tuesday. This lady had on Crocs, was walking her two boxers in front of us and we we walk pretty quickly, um, so we were trying to lap her. So we go around her and, uh, we're, we're doing good, because I prefer to speed up when I go around people so that we're not pacing because there's people who like to ride their bikes and rollerblade and shit and they might crash into us. We have this one chick scream, excuse me, like she was being fucking chased by a rapist in the park and it was just to get to a point like maybe 25 feet in front of us, to stop and wait for her friends to show up. So I'm like no, she didn't yell, excuse me like that, like a fucking idiot. So and immediately.
Speaker 1:The first thing I remember from running is you're never supposed to just stop on a dime. You're supposed to walk it off a little bit first, then you can stop. So you let your heart calm down because your heart's been pumping like crazy and if you just stop like that, you have a heart attack or anything else. Let me see, did she say anything back? Okay, where? So if it's part of a bigger GL, can you fucking tell me about it? Okay, she has no details for me. So, anyway, back to this lady. So the lady.
Speaker 1:So we, we passed her, we get a good bit away from her, and then I hear some running behind us. So obviously we're to the right side so they could pass us on the left. So she's running in Crocs, with her boxers in front of us again, she like runs around us to stop in front of us again and start her slow fucking walk. And I like look at my boyfriend and I'm like this is why I don't like to be around people, because they do stupid shit. What did you do that for? You're not wearing running sneakers, you're wearing white Crocs. So of course, um, of course she.
Speaker 1:We fucking pass her again and I'm like, bro, I swear to God, if I see her pull up on us again and get in front of us and slow us down again, I'm going to have a fucking heart attack, because there's no reason for you to be running in Crocs to step in front of us. None whatsoever. Like I can think of no reasons why that should be happening. All right, stop doing this dumb shit for anybody who does that. If you're going to run, run, your dogs don't want to run with you. They don't even want to walk with you. They want to sniff everything and piss everywhere in this park. Okay, stop doing that shit.
Speaker 1:Nobody thinks you're cute. My boyfriend and I certainly didn't think you were cute, especially because it's two days later and I've thought about this still think you were cute, especially because it's two days later and I've thought about this still. So, in any case, that's it for me. Sorry, there was a big pause in the middle while I was doing some work, but you guys are with me for the long haul and there's just going to be work in between life, okay, and that's what happens, but I love you guys. Thank you so much for listening and I'll try and be more on track with my stuff. You have a good day everybody. Enjoy your upcoming weekend, because I'm recording on a Friday. Love y'all. Bye, thank you.
