SPEAKER_01 0:35

What's going on, guys? Welcome to another thrilling episode of Current Chatter. You know, it's uh two different generations in one noisy world. As always, I'm here with Mama. Mama, how are you doing?

SPEAKER_02 0:46

I am doing spectacular. I had some time off from work, and then uh I went to a breast cancer thrivers retreat in Park City, Utah, and it was put on by a group called Image Reborn. Shout out to Image Reborn out there, and they do these free retreats for breast cancer survivors.

SPEAKER_01 1:08

So I want to hear all about it. How was it? Like, do you have a favorite part? Was the food good?

SPEAKER_02 1:12

Everything about it was awesome. They had we a chef come in and cook for us. And um, we had massages and Reike and I think it's called Reiki. Foot foot Reiki, sorry, Reiki, like I don't know. It was new to me. It was I never had it done with the case. Would you do it again? Having someone Yeah, yeah. I just I I was kind of laying there at one at one point while they were ringing the bells over you, they go, Hon, mm-hmm. Like, and you feel it like deep resonate in your soul. These home, the the Reiki stuff where with the bowls. Yeah, it was crazy. But my favorite part was just getting to know new people and you know, it shared discomfort of breast cancer, and it just was really great.

SPEAKER_01 2:00

Did you guys scream into the void like I thought?

SPEAKER_02 2:02

A little bit.

SPEAKER_01 2:05

So was it just people that have um like recovered from breast cancer? They've they've finished their fight, or was there people that were currently going through a breast cancer fight?

SPEAKER_02 2:14

During this conference, it was just for people who have already done the fight. At least a couple of us are like six, seven, eight months out, but recovery, all in recovery. Would you do it again? Um in a heartbeat.

SPEAKER_01 2:26

Good, good. I'm so glad you got to go do that.

SPEAKER_02 2:29

It was so much fun. And, you know, shout out to all my girls that were at the retreat and that, you know, just the shared camaraderie again. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 2:40

It was just amazing. I'm so glad you got to experience that and it was a good experience. I didn't think it wasn't gonna be anything but a good experience. You and I have this crazy ability to like, I don't want to say command a room, but our presence is known in a room. Our personalities are are pretty fucking loud, wouldn't you say?

SPEAKER_03 2:56

Yes, a little bit loud.

SPEAKER_01 2:57

A little bit loud. I I always find myself, even in like awkward situations like interviews or new friends, things like that, I always seem to shine in those moments because I just like I have no filter, you know. You and me both. Yeah, I was gonna say I got that from you.

SPEAKER_02 3:13

Yes. I think my problem is right now is that my face will say it before my vo before I actually verbalize anything. And because I spend so much time alone working from home as I do and stuff, that sometimes I can't control it.

SPEAKER_01 3:32

Or you miss having the mask on your face too much to where you can hide your hide your facial expression a little better.

SPEAKER_02 3:39

Now you're like, no, that was everybody can see what you're doing.

SPEAKER_01 3:42

After the pandemic, that was something I had to learn was like, oh shit, people can see me sticking my tongue out at them when I'm not a happy with them. Like I would be loading customers and they'd be talking shit and I'd just be like, you know, but like they couldn't tell my eyes were just walking.

SPEAKER_02 3:57

I don't do that in front of like real customers, Dakota. That would be bad.

SPEAKER_01 4:01

It's a good thing I don't work with customers anymore. I have a hard time when like I'm watching horror movies where like you've seen horror movies where they like scratch the walls and their fingernails are coming off. You've seen those kind of horror movies? Yes. Or like they bite onto something and their teeth crack, or like they get eyeball stuff. So like eyeballs and teeth, like sensory things fuck me up. I read a book where a guy took toenail clippers and put the toenail clippers on his teeth and clipped his teeth like that, and that oh, it it freaked me out. It like made my skin crawl. It was like uh it's still to this day like why why would he do that?

SPEAKER_02 4:36

What was the point?

SPEAKER_01 4:37

Uh he was a fucked up individual, and I'm a fucked up individual, and I need to work on myself for reading those kind of books. That's besides the point. California, right now, in San Gable Valley, they have a very strange black tiny fly that bites human eyeballs.

SPEAKER_02 4:51

That doesn't sound like any fun at all. Why would I'm confused. Why would it pee why would it how do you figure that out?

SPEAKER_01 4:59

Like it's a a fly that only someone had to get bit first. So in San Gabriel, California, small black flies with a wicked bite are swarming parts of the San Gabriel Valley. And experts say their unusual early arrival is overwhelming the residents of the valley. Experts describe the insects they're smaller than mosquitoes, but far more aggressive. They aim for the eyes and their bite is really painful. I think anything in your eyeballs is just gonna be painful. Yeah, I don't think that that's like a gimme, isn't it? Yeah, it's like I I if I ever got glaucoma, and I think grandpa Wilson had glaucoma, and he he had to get shots in his eyes. Nope. Uh-uh. Just leave me be.

SPEAKER_02 5:40

Uh-uh. Stick. He said that gout was worse. He did. Grandpa said gout was worse than getting shots in the eye.

SPEAKER_01 5:48

I don't know. I don't know, man.

SPEAKER_02 5:51

I don't know.

SPEAKER_01 5:54

Okay, we'll take it from the old man himself. But I just like and I thought about getting LASIK to help with my astigmatism and maybe get away from glasses. But again, you have to get shots in the eyes that paralyze your eyeball, and then you look at a laser, and I'm like, I can't, I can't do it. I just have like I would be so afraid to look away and like burn something out. Like But that's why they they give you a shot in your eye to like numb your eyeball to where you don't have the muscle to move it.

SPEAKER_02 6:17

It's not, yeah. No, there's just some stuff that you won't don't want to see in your life. And a laser beam shining down at you is one of those.

SPEAKER_01 6:24

They're biting black flies, and so these are different than your regular horsefly. One of the it was like um the fish and game. It was it's not fishing game. She is the director of insects. Something like that. Unlike common horseflies, they're just called black flies, are drawn to human breath and the salty moisture around your eyes.

SPEAKER_02 6:48

That's nasty.

SPEAKER_01 6:49

One resident said, Oh, that's disgusting. Diaz is the name of um the lady who's reporting on the the expert on these types of bugs. Uh Diaz noted that while black flies can transmit river blindness, that risk does not apply locally.

SPEAKER_02 7:06

Question while you look that up for some more content. Did you happen to finish watching uh Fear Factor?

SPEAKER_01 7:14

Yeah, I did. I did. And I'm so happy that What's His Nuts didn't win. I'm really upset that um the one young kid wet won because I really wanted the mom to win. But it just gives me I wanted the mom to win too. It just gives me such hope because I I did apply for it. I did apply again. This will be my third time applying for Fear Factor. So all of my podcast homies out there send a shout out to Johnny Knoxville asking him to let me in. River blindness is a common name for Orthrocardinus, a parasitic disease that can lead to severe itching, skin damage, and even permanent vision loss. That's horrible. All from a from a black fly of a tiny, tiny black fly. They are a vector for river blindness, which is a D disease that can't that you can transmit, but that's not something that we see here. It's mostly known in other parts of the world. Here they're just mostly mostly a nuisance. So it doesn't sound like the river blindness disease is happening in California. They're just a nuisance, but in other parts of the world, they can give you river blindness. Still, the bites are unseating.

SPEAKER_02 8:23

Yeah, I'm gonna go ahead and put say hard no on that. Can we just put me down for a hard no?

SPEAKER_01 8:28

What? Yeah, exactly, right? I can take bug bites, that's one thing, but an eye-a bite on my eyeball.

SPEAKER_02 8:33

I have been I have been bit by a horsefly, and those frickin' hurts like a mother. And then it goes away and it it'll just come back.

SPEAKER_01 8:45

The pain and the the in infection and all the so one resident said, I don't want anything biting my eyes, even if they don't transmit anything. That still sounds really fucking bad.

SPEAKER_02 8:59

Yeah. Like I said, we're gonna go ahead and hard no. Hard no.

SPEAKER_01 9:03

So some of the local technicians are tar targeting black fly larvae in local riverbeds. They're spraying this pesticide in the river that's not harmful to the other wildlife. It just kills the larvae because they're seeing such an uptick because of all the warm weather weather that they've had throughout the winter and the and the spring. So the lar the the flies are coming much earlier than they anticipated and in bigger swarms because of the heat and whatnot. So I saw that and went flies that bite your eyeball.

SPEAKER_02 9:36

Like, yeah, no, like I said, hard.

SPEAKER_01 9:38

Yeah, hard pass, hard, hard pass. Such a hard pass.

SPEAKER_02 9:42

Yes. All right, so I do want to send a shout out while we're podcasting. Uh we record podcasts on Wednesday, but I want to do a shout out to the Artemis 2 crew that we launched into outer space today. They're gonna go around the moon. They're gonna be the farthest astronauts have ever been away from the earth. And you know, Godspeed to them, and this will put us on the moon soon.

SPEAKER_01 10:12

We've already been on the moon.

SPEAKER_02 10:13

I know, but this will put us we're in a race with China to see who can get like who can establish like a base on the moon. Oh, a base on the moon. Okay.

SPEAKER_01 10:23

Yeah. Oh, they get half and we get the other half. Like, the fuck? That is cool though. I do, I do I do hope in my lifetime I'm able to see some outer space shit. Not like physically see it, but see the the the progress we're able to make. What's crazy to me, what really fucks me up in my brain, mom, and I don't know if you like this keeps me up at night, and I don't know why, but we know more about outer space than we do about our own oceans. That that's isn't that crazy? It it uh but the the problem with with our oceans is the farther you go, the more pressure, so we can't get anything down there because of the pressure and and the like it you can plow. It just like it it bl it boggles my flabbers are gasted whenever I think about space in the ocean. Like, how can we know more about outer space than our oceans? Like it just doesn't compute in my brain and it hurts.

SPEAKER_02 11:15

You need to not think so hard about it, Dakota, because I guess you're the only one losing sleep over the well, probably not the only one.

SPEAKER_00 11:22

There's no way I can be the only one.

SPEAKER_02 11:27

So that's what we need all our chatterheads to comment on what is the one thing that keeps you up at night?

SPEAKER_01 11:38

That keeps you up at night. And the amount of of people that don't wash their hands after they touch their penis freaks me out. Like wash your fucking hands. I I have to agree with you. Like, is it like that in the ladies' room? Do ladies not wash their hands?

SPEAKER_02 11:56

No, we do.

SPEAKER_01 11:57

Because it's nasty because it is disgusting, right? Like it's it's a wash your fucking hands. Don't be dirty.

SPEAKER_02 12:08

So have you ever heard of squirrels vaping?

SPEAKER_01 12:14

Add it to the bingo card.

SPEAKER_02 12:17

Add it to the bingo card for the year. Wildlife experts are uh warning of the dangers of discarding nicotine products that have a different taste to them than just regular nicotine because squirrels have been caught vaping in London parks. Do they have video of this? No.

SPEAKER_01 12:34

They do?

SPEAKER_02 12:35

Yes. I don't have a video of it, but they said that you can look up a video shows a gray squirrel appearing to nibble on the mouth of a discarded vape atop a wooden fence at a park in London. Other photos and videos of various social media sites have captured other incidences of squirrels handling, chewing on, and even buy it says buying discarded vape devices, but I've never known a squirrel to buy anything. It says buying discarded vapes. Squirrels can't buy discarded vapes, Dakota. Yeah, how are they paying squirrel? Squirrels. I know, with little squirrel credit cards.

SPEAKER_01 13:11

Do you take Tap to Pay? Does Apple Pay work here? Or I guess it'd be does Acorn Pay work here?

SPEAKER_02 13:17

Exactly. Can you believe that? Uh yeah, they're saying that it because it's something that they don't ever see in nature, that the squirrels are now attracted to it.

SPEAKER_01 13:27

So interesting. That's my big problem with the disposable vapes. It was also my big problem with the K cups, is like the disposable vapes and the K cups, they're overfilling the landfill, you know? And you're supposed to dispose of these vapes properly. You have to take them to a battery drop-off location because they have a battery in them, you know? And that's why I try so hard to stick with my my big boy vape, my rechargeable, reusable. I fill it up in the tank just because I just I personally cannot handle the thought of adding more to our landfills. And that's just a personal reason because I'm a hippie at heart and it kills my soul. But yeah, that's the one problem I have with these vapes, is and a lot of times people just discard them like cigarettes. Like they just toss them out at their cars. Right.

SPEAKER_02 14:11

It's ridiculous. And that's what's happening in London. And so they're saying that it's uh because it's stuff that nep that you don't find in nature because of the flavor of the vapes that changes the molecular structure of it, instead of it just being like a nicotine which is found in nature, it's something completely different. And the squirrels are going hog wow. Just absolutely crazy over it.

SPEAKER_01 14:33

We've got an animal story for you, and I think you'll appreciate this one. Chesney, the kangaroo, scales tall fence and flees petting zoo for three days on the lamb.

SPEAKER_02 14:42

I think I saw this on the on the news today. Um, and it got all the people in the the neighborhood involved in trying to catch. Yeah, I think so.

SPEAKER_01 14:50

I haven't read the article, but I think you're right.

SPEAKER_02 14:52

Uh how does it jumped. Dakota, it's a frickin' kangaroo. It jumped over the fence.

SPEAKER_01 14:58

Well, what else is it gonna do? Like they're they're not known for just like moseying across the fence.

SPEAKER_02 15:05

I know, but it's like, oh my gosh, you you realize it jumped over the fence.

SPEAKER_01 15:10

My thing is to get away from it's in a petting zoo, so people are actively touching this kangaroo.

SPEAKER_02 15:15

Yeah, no, I don't think no, no, no, no, no. Nope, nope. I'm sorry. After all the stories we've had, there's no way in hell you can put me in line to sit and pet a kangaroo. Is this the first kangaroo story we've had in 2026? In 2026, but not the first kangaroo story.

SPEAKER_01 15:29

Okay. How does a kangaroo escape a petting zoo? It's not the opening line in to a dad joke. If you're Chesney, the kangaroo, you scale an eight-foot or two and a half meter fence and go on the lamb for three days, giving your keeper sleepless nights and setting residents of a small Wisconsin town on a search that would end happily on Saturday. The un unsuspected leap Sunshine Farm in Wisconsin. Uh last I think we need to investigate this Wisconsin farm. Last week, stray dogs that rushed into the enclosure and spooked the 16th month old Chensney and his keeper.

SPEAKER_02 16:08

Oh yeah, I do I do remember that. They're saying that the dog scared it and it jumped over the fence. Okay, so now it's not as bad as it as it appears.

SPEAKER_01 16:17

The unexpected leap at Sunshine Farm in Wisconsin last week was um ensued by stray dogs that rushed into the enclosure and spooked the 16th month-old Chesney and his keeper Debbie Marlin. She and her friends then searched in this town about 160 miles or 255 kilometers northeast of Milwaukee. They chased reports of sightings and even rented heat-seeking drones, which provided efficient what which provided an efficient in narrowing down the wanderings of the high jumping adventurer. I was putting on about th wow. 37,000 steps per day looking for him, Marilyn said on Sunday. On Sunday, I haven't done so much exercise in a very long time.

SPEAKER_02 17:08

Neither had the poor little Chesney.

SPEAKER_01 17:11

Chesney and his roommate Kenny are named after country music star Kenny Chesney. They are among 25 animals at the Sunshine Farm with horses, sheep, alpacas, pigs, highland cows, and camels. Those are the big fluffy ones, right? Yes.

SPEAKER_02 17:30

Your dad was so funny. He came home uh six or seven months ago and he was like, he was like, I got the picture of the fanciest cows you'll ever see. And they were pictures from somebody in uh Park City or Hebrew or up in that area that um had Highland cows. And he took pictures and he's like, look at these fluffy cows. He was he was so um enamored with never seen a Highland cow?

SPEAKER_01 17:56

That's awesome. Um, and then they also have camels. The farm is generally open on Fridays through Sundays from mid-May through mid-Octo, or excuse me, mid-November, and tours are offered to visitors who can interact with said animals. Disney escaped about 11 15 a.m. last Wednesday, though he stayed within a three-mile or five kilometer radius of the farm. He kept his pursuers guessing. Uh Colton Johnson, an owner of Midwest Aerial Drone Services, has used heat sensing drones to help hunters recover deer and reunite missing dogs with their owners. Oh, that's wholesome as fuck. Uh add a kangaroo to that list now. Johnson spent three days trailing Chesney along Maryland, Maryland, and a team of volunteers. His strategy was similar to the ones he used to find lost pets. But Johnson said the appearance of Chesney's heat signature on the drone footage was unique. I wouldn't Oh, yeah. Come on. But you if you went to Australia and you're like, have you seen the heat signature of a kangaroo? I'd be like, yeah, bitch, what? But in Wisconsin? Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 19:06

In Wisconsin.

SPEAKER_01 19:08

Of course it's gonna be unique. What? It almost looks like a dinosaur running through the woods, Johnson said. It's got a long tail, and the way it's moving and hopping, the only way that's the only way I can describe it. That's a good way to describe it.

SPEAKER_02 19:23

That's crazy.

SPEAKER_01 19:24

Uh the team caught up with Chesney on Wednesday, and again Thursday night, Johnson said the frightened kangaroo slipped away once by jumping into a cold river, and Johnson lost track on the drone. According to Maryland's friend, Stacy, who helped out at the farm routinely, Friday was a tough day. No one had spotted Chesney all day, and searchers feared he had wandered further ahead into even more unfamiliar territory. Then Friday night, Chesney was discovered nestled under a tree in a wooden area. A group of searchers surrounded him, but ever fleet of foot, 20 miles an hour or 32 kilometers per hour is no stretch for him. Chesney eluded them. Marilyn returned to the area Saturday morning with Chesney's favorite treats and pieces of material that had his and Kenny scent. Other searchers later joined her, but there was no sign of the kangaroo. They started packing up. Just then they spotted the long the long-legged kangaroo with outsized back legs approaching. Oh, so he got his treats and his smell, and he was like, I'm ready to go home. He's like, I want to go home.

SPEAKER_02 20:33

I want to go back to Chesney. Not no, he's Chesney. You want to go back to Kenny? Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 20:39

It says Burden stepped up with a delicate touch. He had a very calm attitude when he walked up. Obviously, you could tell he wasn't in fight or flight mode, so I just went with it. Uh I just stayed calm with him and I just kind of went and sat and let him come to me. Uh Chesney heard the voices and wanted attention, who eventually scooped up the 40-pound animal. I do believe he heard our comforting voices. He smelled hit familiar smells of home, and it just made him feel safe. Burnett adding, I'm just glad he loves me as much as I love him. Yeah, still.

SPEAKER_02 21:17

Kangaroos, yeah.

SPEAKER_01 21:19

I gotta see a kangaroo heat signature though.

SPEAKER_02 21:21

Had to bet on the bingo card for the for the Oh yeah. Kangaroos are always on the bingo card after last year. So, Dakota, do you allow your cats to play with uh hair ties?

SPEAKER_01 21:32

Um, it's not something we typically like just have out for them to play with. If they find one and happen to steal it, that's different. If I see them playing with it, I will take it. Why? What's up?

SPEAKER_02 21:44

Because there was a cat and it survived having twenty six hair ties removed from its stomach.

SPEAKER_01 21:51

What?

SPEAKER_02 21:52

And how careful you have to be with your cat.

SPEAKER_01 21:55

Mm-hmm. Yeah. No, I don't I don't mess around with that. Yeah, I'm Glad you're telling people.

SPEAKER_02 22:01

Yeah. So I wanted to revisit a story that we did a couple of weeks ago where the guy s snuck into the enclosure and kidnapped the kangaroos and then tortured the kangaroo and not the kangaroo. The flamingo. The flamingos. Okay. So that story resurfaced again this week and about how he they got video of the inside of the room and he tortured the flamingo. He's torturing it. Yes. Oh.

unknown 22:31

Oh.

SPEAKER_02 22:32

So choking it wasn't enough? No. He kidnapped it and then proceeded to torture it in his hotel room until they found him and the kangaroo. And I I don't know if he represented the colour. The flamingo.

SPEAKER_01 22:45

The flamingo. Not a kangaroo. It's a flamingo. You said kangaroo. What did he do to the flamingo?

SPEAKER_02 22:53

All it said in the report was that he tortured it. And I think that, you know, some things you just don't want to know the answer to.

SPEAKER_01 22:59

Okay, that's fair. My morbid mind's like, Tell me what he did. But my animal loving mind is like bastard.

SPEAKER_02 23:08

Yeah, the poor flamingo. So that guy is in a lot of trouble now.

SPEAKER_01 23:12

If you're gonna do dumb shit, don't fucking record it. Just save it to memory. I don't know like why people gotta record everything.

SPEAKER_02 23:21

Like, no. Yeah, it just everything needs to be, you know, for prosperity's sake.

unknown 23:27

Whatever.

SPEAKER_01 23:28

Wasn't the flamingo's name, Peaches?

SPEAKER_02 23:30

Something like that.

SPEAKER_01 23:30

Is Peaches okay?

SPEAKER_02 23:33

Um, I don't I think that it's, you know, traumatized. It's definitely traumatized.

SPEAKER_01 23:40

I can't believe they found more video. That makes me so sad.

SPEAKER_02 23:43

Yeah, it's sad. Have you heard any more talk on Bigfoot sightings in Ohio?

SPEAKER_01 23:50

I haven't. I did hear, I sent you a video on it, that they had this crazy um meteor come through. And that they're starting to link these meteors coming through and extra sightings of Bigfoot. And Bigfoot like can tell when something's gonna go down and is like trying to get the fuck out of Dodge because the meteor's coming through. It's kind of like dogs knowing that there's an earthquake coming.

SPEAKER_02 24:15

So I've had uh I've lived through a couple of earthquakes here in Utah, and uh Jack doesn't know crap. Like he looks at me when because I scream when there's an earthquake, like a little girl. Instead of like getting up and standing in a doorway, I scream earthquake and run around the house like a chicken with her head cut off.

SPEAKER_00 24:35

But Jack is is also not the the brightest bulb in in the indoor he's not.

SPEAKER_02 24:41

He's such a poor Jack. He is a dog only a mother would love. And you are the only mother that loves him.

SPEAKER_00 24:52

Yeah. He sucks.

SPEAKER_02 24:54

He's my he he does suck. He sucks bad. Um he's kind of a jerk. So we'll just leave it at that.

SPEAKER_01 25:00

Did you hear any more Bigfoot sightings? No, I didn't. I did hear that um the pair the quadruplelegic in jail for murder, uh-huh. He pleaded guilty to it.

SPEAKER_02 25:10

Yes. He did well, because I mean there were three there were four people in the car it besides the person that he killed.

SPEAKER_01 25:17

Three people.

SPEAKER_02 25:18

Three four altogether, counting him. Three. Oh, I thought that there was an extra person in the car.

SPEAKER_01 25:23

And I I told the story wrong. No, so I told the story wrong. He was driving. The quadruple was driving his Tesla, so a self-driving car. He shot the passenger next to him and then asked the backseat passenger to help him dispose of the body.

SPEAKER_02 25:41

It's such a sad story. And then you see the video of him shooting, shooting that gun, and you're like, dude, you need some help. He need, yeah, he needs he needs some therapy. He need he needs to drink his water and he needs to talk to his therapist.

SPEAKER_01 25:57

The thing is, is if I was him, I would, I would blatantly so tell them to go find print fingerprints on that gun. If my fingerprints aren't aren't on that gun, I didn't do it.

SPEAKER_02 26:08

He didn't have any fingers That's the whole point.

unknown 26:11

He don't have no fingers.

SPEAKER_00 26:13

That's the whole point, Mom. That was the whole point of that joke.

SPEAKER_02 26:20

You don't have no fingerprints on the gun. That is that's just not right to go.

SPEAKER_03 26:28

Oh too much.

SPEAKER_01 26:32

There's a joke around among my friends that I like to suck toes because I have a t-shirt that says, hell yeah, I suck toes. I will neither confirm nor deny the fact that I suck toes.

SPEAKER_02 26:42

And you wanted to share this in a public forum for all the internet in the world to know why.

SPEAKER_01 26:46

Don't you pink shame me? Come at me. I I ain't got nothing to hide, motherfuckers. I'm an open book. But a California man gets a gets six years in prison after breaking into a woman's house and sucking her toes.

SPEAKER_02 27:06

You know what? Here's here's something funny. Here's something funny for you is that I was I went away for the weekend and I had my own room. But you know, when you're used to sleeping next to somebody, you always look under the bed. Okay. In the hotel. Yeah. And I was so scared. I'm like, watch there be somebody under the bed. Okay. Because of that story that we had a couple months ago.

SPEAKER_01 27:29

Yeah. With a guy living in like the walls or something, or in the crawl space.

SPEAKER_02 27:33

Yeah. Yeah. No, no, no, no. He was under the bed of the kid. He was the baby sitter found him. Oh, yeah. The kid's like, there's a guy under the bed. She's like, no, there's not. Holy shit.

Well, uh, Christian, 28-year-old from Modesto, has been harassing a woman for weeks until the night he finally broke into her house, according to prosecutors. A California man has been sentenced to more than six years in prisons after breaking into a woman's house and sucking her toes up into officials. Christian, a 28-year-old, was convicted of stalking and breaking into a residence with intent to commit a sexual act. The district attorney's office announced on Facebook last Friday. Christian saw first saw the unnamed woman at her workplace in February 2025 and immediately became obsessed with her, the DA's office said. He would show up at her job multiple times a day, loitering outside as he waited to approach her while she left. According to prosecutors, Christian asked the woman out multiple times and sent her a letter in which he said he wanted to take her to Mexico, the DA's office. And what? Chop her up into little pieces? That's not right. He harassed the woman for several weeks and learned where she lived, according to prosecutors. On f the night of May 21st, 2025, he went to her house, and after her father left the home, he broke in, and the woman woke up to find Christian in her bedroom sucking her toes, according to the prosecutors. Although terrifieding, the victim managed to talk Christian in a friendly demeanor in an attempt to keep him calm and de-escalate his actions. That's the thing.

SPEAKER_02 29:20

Like let's de-escalating the issue is what the problem was.

SPEAKER_01 29:32

Well, here's the thing. A woman to be in that scenario where someone is we'll call this sexual harassment because that's a sexual act for some people. Right. For her to know that she needs to one, be calm, two, talk to this person as if he's a human, and three, try to befriend him in the midst of this happening. Because you're waking up and some dude has got your toes down his gullet. You know what I mean? Like my first instinct is I'm gonna kick a motherfucker in the in the jaw. You know what I'm saying? But she was able to stay calm and regulated, which is something I don't I can't do. I I'm in therapy for being calm. For her to be able to do that, it just shows the kind of wherewithal she had. Do you think you could stay calm if you woke up to someone sucking your toes?

SPEAKER_02 30:15

No, no. Um, I would do I would kick him in the face. Yeah. That would Okay.

SPEAKER_01 30:21

After the woman's family members came home and they came into a room and they demanded Christian leave, and then he fled, according to prosecutors, the woman reported the incident to the local sheriff's office, which later identified Christian and arrested him.

SPEAKER_02 30:35

He shouldn't have gotten that close to her, though. That's the problem. What is wrong with the laws?

SPEAKER_01 30:39

That is the hue That is the biggest problem with stalking, is the police legally cannot do anything until they physically do something to harm you. Whether or not they are saying they're gonna physically harm you, they're doing actions that could physically harm you, but they aren't like they left a bomb in your mailbox or something. Unless they can physically put this person where they're harming you, police cannot do anything, and those laws need to change. This man was able to get away with way too much, and it escalated from there. And the police for like I'm just saying policing in general is like this. I hear so many true crime stories of women getting stalked, and they've told the police, they've explained the whole situation, they've got evidence of this person saying these heinous things, and the police physically can't do anything until there's physical action taken place, and that is such bullshit. That's not right. Bullshit.

SPEAKER_03 31:32

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 31:33

Um, it says here the victim was incredibly brave and did all the right things to get him to leave her alone. Always pleading no contest to stalking and breaking into the residence to commit a sexual act. Pussy, you know exactly what you fucking did, bro. He was given the maximum sentence of six years and eight months. That was the max. Yes. That was the max. You'd think for stalking it would be a little bit more than that. You would think for a lot of things it would be more than that. You know what I'm saying? All right. What else you got for me tonight? That was it. I had to end this the session on sucking toes. I just had to. Because the toe sucking is important. It is. Every healthy relationship sucks on toes and licks a butthole once in a while.

SPEAKER_02 32:25

I have no comment for that. You left me absolutely injured.

SPEAKER_00 32:33

Oh, fantastic. You gotta try it once, Mom.
