Transcript

We did it. We did it. This is bro homo with Jonathan and Tom, the podcast, formerly known as No Homo, with Jonathan and Tom. I'm Jonathan. I'm Tom. And what's the date? What's the number? What's the date? What's the date? What's the date? It's episode number 23. Episode number 23 of bro homo. Uh, and we're recording this on Monday, December 1st.

Yeah, uh, 2025. 'cause we're just gonna keep rolling. We're, it's episode 23 of a podcast. We're doing episode. Yeah, that's right. Episode one of bro homo, but who cares? Whatever. We're here, we're doing it. We're back. I missed you man. I missed you too. I forgot a little bit how to prod podcast. But yeah, we'll see how this goes.

And we had gotten so smooth that our openings, I feel like that was really, I, um, I needed the break, so I was glad to have the break off, but uh, now I'm like, how do we do this again? I know I missed you. I miss you too, man. Um, yeah. We, so much of our, wait, are we doing this now? I don't give a shit. Who cares about an outline anymore?

So much of our life now we've talked about has become like even when we see each other in real life, which we see each other [00:01:00] more now than we used to, which was part of the point of doing this. Yeah. But now we're like, ah, we have to be like smart about how we discuss things in person and then we're gonna talk the fight.

I can't tell you too much in real life because I gotta. Save your real reaction. Yeah. But that's a testament to our, for our fans that we're saving the genuine reactions to you guys. Yeah. But a lot of the times when we're telling each other stuff, it's for the first time on the podcast. That's right. Um, so I'm sure you think because I'm a terrible actor, especially I know I keep trying to get you to do like, I'm like, we can do it.

We can just make, act like it's the first time. No, I. Tom, Tom has full transparency, like full, genuine, no, no interest in acting here. So everyone that, no, I mean, I have a, B, f, A in acting. I just, I'm not saying you can't do it. Jesus. Yeah. I just don't know if it'd be any good. Uh, I was trained, um, once upon a time.

Yeah, I'm sure it would be wonderful. But, but the, the, the, oh God, I can't do it anymore. Oh, we got it. We got it. We can do this. Uh, just that we have, we fucking, when we do talk, it's like half of our talks are logistics about business. Yeah. Business. Gotta get the business in. Um, name [00:02:00] changes and outlines and blah, blah, blah.

Yeah. And, and, legal. Legal, blah. Legal, uh, legal ramifications. And threatening. Threatening legal. It's annoying as fuck. Oh my God. And then like, um, and then like we're both so busy. You've got two kids. Yeah. I have 10,000 jobs and like yeah, it's a lot. And this, uh, so anyways, it was nice to have a little week off and yeah.

Um, we'll probably take a little more time off at the end of the year for Christmas and New Year's, but yeah, uh, we're back to Roho up with you guys and, uh. I'm very excited about it. Gonna bro, home it up, bro. Home it up, bro. Home it up with the bro homies. With the bro homies. Yeah. That sounds like a like, I don't know.

Like a I like it though, bro. Homies. Bro. Homies, uh, it sounds like a Greek god of some kind. I think we should make a character, like a character for bro homies. Bro Homies like, yeah. Okay. Uh, I'm down. Um, have you been watching? This is jumping all over the place, but love it. Um, morning show. The news season.

Uh, yeah, yeah, yeah. And there's the, the podcast is bro something, or they call the guy, bro. That's what it, yeah. [00:03:00] Yeah. So we're gonna get hit by Apple now. They're gonna be, we're gonna get fucking, we're gonna get pinged around again. That show is. So bad now. Dude, it was so good to start with it. It was so good.

It was on like the cutting edge of culture. It was like doing it, it was shining a light into things. And then I honestly, uh, um, what's her fucking name? I, I, every episode I talk about Jeff Anderson. No, no. Oh, Karen, uh, the, the black woman, Karen, uh, Karen something, I think. Okay. I'll believe you. Yeah. Um, it's like when she made the choice, she took the whole thing with her.

She brought and, and just like that over to the morning show. 'cause it is off the. Fucking rails, dude. Like what? Yeah, it's really, and the way there's like so many characters and so many plot lines and they just don't deal with one of the plot lines for like eight episodes and then suddenly it's like, oh, this is still a thing.

Like, okay, yeah, it's bad. I can't stop watching. But, um, not good. Not good. Wait, so have you finished the season? No. Oh my God, dude. Okay. Uh, I thought we could really, we'll, we'll, I thought we could really talk about it, so we can't really talk about it [00:04:00] because we, it is, I'll say this, uh, because it is.

Completely unjustified, but it's some of the most beautiful two shots, like, like the end of the, the end of the season is like if Casablanca was remade in color right now, like if it was like, it's, it's so epic and so cinematic. And Wow. Completely unjustified. Wow. Okay. I'm not gonna ask, I'm just gonna wait and be surprised.

I need you to finish it. I need you to push through because I want to talk about it. So wait, tell me where you're at in it. I'll talk, I'll try to see if I can get what you know. Uh, it's dicey 'cause it's like last night we were both like, ah, yeah. Yeah. And so, um, that's actually a pretty good way to do it.

I think that's how Jen usually watches it, and I think she's got a better grasp on it than I do, having watched every moment they circled back to like. The stuff with, um, that British girl with the mm-hmm. And she's causing all the trouble and she, oh, she just got turned into the FBI. Yeah. Okay. By Reese?

By Reese Witherspoon. Yeah. Man. Spoilers, spoilers. [00:05:00] By the way, I mean, it's done. Listen, the season is wrapped and we're talking about like episode six or something, so like, yeah. Uh, sure spoilers, but, oh man, I, I wasn't even, I, I'm glad that we can do this next week. I wanna get a little more prepared because I feel like I'm gonna go back into my, and just like that mode and just like shit on it.

And I don't wanna do that. I wanna be smarter than that. I want, I want to be more entertaining than that, but it gives. It's bonkers. It has gone off the rails. Yeah, it has. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But this is the hottest you've ever looked. What did you do the past couple weeks? Is it the Thanksgiving Turkey filling?

I what out your, I, you what? I have flesh. I have, um, been missing it. In fact, I, for the first time, I think I've been missing it so much. I have not heard that. I've not been compliment. Buy you in weeks now. Weeks. And I just like straight up posted a thirst trap on Instagram the other day, like unabashedly, like I, oh, I missed that.

Finally went, I was wondering where the fuck you were. I'm sorry. But a lot. I think there were plenty of bro homies who appreciated it. I got the, I got a lot of That's good. That's good. A lot of positive feedback. 98, 90 9% from men and I, that's exactly what I would want [00:06:00] from this moment. I was in the gym, uh, on, uh, the day after Thanksgiving and trying to, you know, work off some of the sodium and carbs and just cheese and all the fat.

Uh, there was some good overhead lighting, so I took a picture of myself and, uh, posted it in my story. Um, and, uh, yeah, a lot of them, I got some good feedback, so, um, that's great. I'll wait for it. But all, all I'm really saying is I, I was so desperate for some, uh, positive feedback because I have not been hearing that I, that it was, do you notice too, these days though, that Instagram is not really showing you the people you follow, it's just showing you other algorithm stuff, so, um, I don't know.

Well, I also, like, I don't understand how it works in the stories. And this was kind of like a, it was just kind of a, a test because I was interested in this. Like when I post something, I don't understand how stories, like I never see stories from someone that I'm not following. The, the scroll thing is like, yeah, it's all randoms.

Yeah. It's all fucking, it's no one I care about. No one I wanna see. It's all new suggestions. You have stories as people you follow. Yeah. But then all of a sudden I like, I'll post something. It doesn't matter. I'll post anything, [00:07:00] anything, and I'll get a few hundred, maybe a thousand views on it or something, maybe in my story.

And then usually it's, if I, if I post something like provocative or I repost something, then it's into the multiple thousands or like this, this picture, this little obnoxious thirst trap was, uh, also in the many thousands. And I don't understand, like I have no idea how the algorithm does anything with that.

Like, I don't know how that works at all. So I don't know if there's. Nope. Like you're not seeing someone's story that you don't follow. Right? But like, no, sometimes I like, I don't know how I'm jumping to the top of people's stories, or if they're just scrolling through so long, or it's the muscles, it's the butt, it's the eyelashes, the, but those are often in there.

They're there when I'm doing other stuff. It's just, it's not as thirsty. It's not as obvious and obnoxious and like, yeah. Yeah. You know? So maybe Instagram, I mean, I think maybe. Just the algorithm like encourages thirst, it encourages, it does, definitely does that obnoxious kind of behavior. So it definitely does.

I guess it's that like, yeah, whether the AI is like scanning the picture and being like, oh, we can tell he's in a gym and trying to look good for this. Let's, let's blast it everywhere. [00:08:00] Or you know, like if there's enough enough, uh, uh, fire. Uh, responses come in that the algorithm's like, oh, this must be a thirst trap.

Let's just send it out everywhere. Yeah, yeah. Um, what is this under on the outline? Non demy. Oh, yeah. Yeah. So, so we're, now you don't know about this. Oh, I'm so glad I can bring this to you. Oh, it is this, um, shut up. Lemme do it. Shut up, dude. What the fuck are you doing? You're stepping all over. You're, you bring up a point from my side of the outline, dude.

Then shit on it to halfway, halfway saying, I'm noting on it. I was just, I was just the wicked thing. Sorry. This is the wicked thing I got. I'm not shit at it. I know, I know, I know. I got it. Like. I am forgetting how the podcast We are, we are, uh, bro homo and I think that it might be fair to say that we are in a non demi curious, semi binary relationship.

I love it. This is what they've been saying, right? This is, they have not actually been saying it. So just to be clear, this is a s post. I joking. Okay. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So I had, I looked into it 'cause I was like, this is a fucking brilliant title if they've been doing this. But it's just 'cause it, it doesn't, it literally at the, the site, the first.

The original satire post, if you can get back to it. [00:09:00] The, um, patient zero for the satire was a non demic curious, semi binary relationship, which means we're not in a relationship, but we're interested in looking into what that could be, which I thought was great. And um, that's definitely what we're in. I love that.

Yeah. I love, I love all the wicked humor out there. There's a post I saw the other day of, um, it was like footage of someone very thinly slicing vegetables and it was like footage from the wicked, um, crafts and serving craft substance because they're also skinny. It's like the gift that just keeps giving.

Um, alright, let's jump into it while we're talking about it. Have you seen Wicked for Good? No, I have not. Tell me. No. Talk to me. Have you, have you seen Wicked? Yeah. Okay. Um, I've seen, I've seen the Broadway show and I've seen the first half, uh, last, like I've seen the first half of the movie. I've seen the first movie.

Yeah. Yeah. Okay. Cool. Uh, yeah. Mm. Yeah. Eh, that's why I felt that I'm getting a lot of that. I'm getting a lot of that. Yeah. I hate to say it. I was so excited. Um, yeah, listen, the, the, the performances are good. Those two ladies are tremendous and deserve all the accolades and, um, [00:10:00] uh, many of the other performances are great too.

Uh, I don't, uh, I I'm not gonna be like picky knit, but I don't love all of them. But, um, yeah, I don't know. It, uh, I think maybe I don't like the show, to be honest. I didn't really love it and I saw it on Broadway and, um, I feel like. The first movie. There's some really great songs in the first act and in the movie, uh, those songs are done really, really well.

Yeah. Popular in the movie's, incredible Defying Gravity at the end of the, uh, yeah, the first movie's incredible. Um, even his song when he comes in dancing through life and he's all sexy, is really well staged. Um, and those, and then there's the scene where they finally become friends at the dance. So there's these, like, these, these like.

Moments in Act one that are strung throughout, that kind of hold the whole thing together 'cause they're so good. And I feel like Act Two just doesn't have that same, um, sort of structure. That's true of the original show, right? Yeah. Of the source material, right? Yeah. Yeah, because I, I, I couldn't even think like, what are the big songs from Act two?

Like there's some like [00:11:00] sex song that. Phi and Oh, yeah. Yeah. And he sing. That was, that was hot when it was Norbert, Leo and Idina. That was like, that was a sexy, a sexy song then, but I, yeah, yeah. It's, is that it? Because Yeah, I can, I can't think, I could rattle off. I don't know. They, they wrote two new songs for the girls.

Okay. Which are not that great. I don't know. It's just like there weren't as many like. Moments that were undeniably good to hold it all together the way there were in the first one. Yeah. So it just kinda lost it for me and the whole rec conning of turning it how, how it becomes the Wizard of Oz, I find, I know a lot of people get really excited about it and I don't wanna yuck anybody's yum.

And I'm happy that people love Wicked and I'm happy that it's a thing in our culture. It's a really good thing right now. It's good for little girls, it's good for little boys to go see and learn about little girls. But, um, I don't know, like, I just don't really think it reccon that well into Wicked. Yeah.

It's, it's into Wizard of Oz, kind of. It's pretty shoehorned in there. It gets weird. It's shoehorned and it, it, there's a bunch of potholes and things that don't actually work. If you compare it also, like, I, you're not wrong, like when you tell this story, like on its, or, you know, we take these [00:12:00] source material characters and tell this story and it is a great story.

Like Alpha's a great character and Glinda iss a great character, but it's this, I think this show started a trend. Of doing these, like retelling the villain's backstory. And I'm not really about that. Like, I mean, sometimes people are like, the villains are villains. Like I don't need to understand why Cruella de Villa is the way she is.

You know? Like, I don't, I don't know. I get a little bit, eh, when, when we do too much of, you know, that, of like giving a backstory of a villain just because it gives you more ip. That's all. It's, you know. Yeah. So like, I don't, I don't know. I Sure. Empathy and this one specifically does Sure. Empathy like, but I don't know.

I don't know. I have a hard time with that after a point. Alright, well that's my wicked review. You'll watch at some point on, on demand, I guess. Mm-hmm. Um, I, I have some correction corners from last. Mm-hmm. Last, last episode. Um, I'm going back to, um, Alfonso Corone, that's how you say it. I mispronounced it last time.

Um, and, uh, that's the only one I had actually. Um, and then we kind of already assessed where we are. Yeah. As a podcast on our [00:13:00] 23rd birthday. So check, check, check. I'm going down the outline. Great. We're nail it. We're remembering how to podcast. We're nailing it. What have you been doing since I saw you last?

I know. So I, this is so much. I was like, yeah, what I've been after the last two weeks. I don't fucking know. Like it's been such a blur. The holidays turned into such a blur. Um, but I did wanna tell you a story. Um, we were up going to Jen's, uh, dad's house, uh, for Thanksgiving, and we stopped at the stop and shop to pick up some last minute stuff.

And, um, we did our shopping, um. And we were in the checkout line and we're the self self checkout. And a woman like, just stops by a woman and a man, a young woman and a man, like walked by us. And the woman stopped me and said, excuse me. Uh, if you are who you think are, if you are who I think you are, I really like your videos and I think you're a great dad and you have a great family.

And oh my God. Yeah. It was, it was very cool. It was very, I mean, it really was like, I mean, I made a quick little joke and I was like, to Jen, I was like, did you hear that? Huh? You know, like, and she was like, Ugh. But it really did feel really nice. I [00:14:00] never know exactly how to like, I mean, I think I responded genuinely 'cause that's just what I was feeling.

But I, I, you know, it's always like, and then I have to do a quick assessment on this is the honest truth is part of the reason that I get like hung up out in the wild sometimes is like, what have I been doing in the last few minutes? Because like, even in that grocery store, there were times that I was flat out yelling at Sydnee to like get up off the ground in the aisles.

Like, so, like, I have to think through like it's, I. It, it happens so rarely. And um, it, I think something about it being like in the parenting lane makes it more like, ugh, okay, the last few minutes, like, was I being a dick? Anyone? Have I, have I been rude? Was I, did I get short with my kids at all? And those things happen, like, I hope, I hope that if anyone ever saw me doing that, they'd be like, yeah, sometimes these guy, this guy yells too, like, or he loses his temper too, you know?

But it always like, makes me think like, ugh, hope that it's been okay if there's, I, I never, ever think about there being eyes on me. Out in the wild. Um, so anyway, to the young woman in the stop and shop, uh, thank you for your kind words and um, [00:15:00] I'm glad that you saw us the checkout and not, while Sydney was acting like a dog in the chip pile.

That's amazing. I love it. Yeah. Um, you got recognized. Yeah, that was fun. And then I just, real quick, one other, I didn't even put this in here, but a quick other quick, quick, uh, celebration I got, um, followed. Today on Instagram by, um, uh, man versus baby Matt Coyne, who is a guy, he is a British guy. He wrote a book called Man Versus Baby.

It's great. It was like, it was one of the early books for me that I realized like, oh yeah, this shit's like hard and crazy. And that's okay to acknowledge. He, he's like a, he's, uh, it's a book you read as a parent. Yeah. Yeah, when Caleb was first born, someone, um, got us that book. Um, and it, it's funny and relevant and good for that kind of thing.

Like it's just, he tells a bunch of stories about when his son's real little and then when his son's a toddler and he is just got a funny, his and his online presence is, is great. His voice on Instagram, uh, I really enjoy him. So that felt good too. Um, he's He followed you? Yeah, he followed me. Wow. He followed me back.

So yeah, it felt, felt, felt good. Wow. Yeah. Man. Yeah. Famous. Well, I mean, I needed it. It's been a couple of weeks [00:16:00] since anyone told me that it's the best I've ever looked, so I had to post, I'm so sorry. I'm sorry. First trap, I had to get these follows, you know, I had to get recognized in public just to feel like I'm in a balance of it all at all.

Like I was busy. 'cause I was at the Eagle the night before Thanksgiving. This is like, this is a tradition though, right? This is like a, this is the. The, the second time we've ever gone. So it's the busiest night of the year for the Eagle. Um, which by the way, it's the busiest night of the, it's, it's the, this OnPrem, it's the Inbar on-premise, busiest night of the year in the country.

Yes. And also, um, weed cellars. It's uh, next to four 20. It's the busiest day of the year. Wow. Hundred. Uh, the day before Thanksgiving. 'cause everybody goes on the cousin walk is what they're calling it now. Hell yeah. On Thanksgiving Day. So, um, yeah, the Eagle is a, uh, I mean, formerly a leather bar. They still call it a leather bar, but now it's, um.

That it's, it's expanded, it's huge, and it's a, it's a dance floor of pip squeaks now. And, um, but they're, they're doing very well. I'm happy that they've expanded and like the business is doing well, and, um, it's a very popular [00:17:00] destination for the night before Thanksgiving. Uh, we said we would never go again.

We decided to go again. Um, we got there what we thought was really early, and we were in a line all the way around the corner. Wow. But I Quan reminded me before leaving the house that I have an Eagle VIP card, um, that lets me skip the line. Wow. But only me, not him, but thanks to him. I remembered that I had it and brought it with me, and I waited in line with him for like a half hour and then I was like, okay, I'll see you in, and I jumped.

Wow. I know. The second year in a row I did that to him. Wow. I know. Wow. I know. But I had the card and like there's no other time to use it. Mm-hmm. So are you judging? Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Is it, I offered, I told him he could use it, but he said it wasn't a real offer, so, um, he's right about that. It was fun. It was crowded.

Uh, we're, we're, we're like, we're never doing that again, but we said that last year showing us Sure. Yeah. Yeah. Um, but we, I know we're gonna talk more about like the holiday later, but we [00:18:00] hosted Thanksgiving on Friday. We had some of his family and some of my family over, so we were, we didn't travel this year, so yeah, Thursday was just like, um, a chill out day for us and Nice.

And, um, we actually watched, uh, all of the new. Part of the finale of Stranger Things, the first four episodes that were dropped. Wow. Okay. Have you watched or you caught up? No. No, no. I'm not caught up at all. I won't. I fell off won't long ago won. You can talk about it. Oh, you're not caught up. Like No, it's been, it's been seasons.

I've talked to so many people this way. Who? Who are this way? Yeah, it, I mean, it just got to be like, I, I don't, I, I was still enjoying it, but it got to be where, like the novelty, I don't know, like it was a victim of just like all the television, all the television that happens and like, yeah, it did not make the cut for a while and then once I fell off I kind of just stayed falling off.

Like I'd be happy to get back into it at some point, but there's, yeah, you know, there's just interesting, a lot of good stuff to watch. Yeah. I mean, there's a lot and it's overwhelming how much good stuff there is to watch. Yeah. And I totally get that. And stuff doesn't make the cut for me all the time, but Stranger Things is one.

I would never personally imagine not making the cut. Mm. [00:19:00] Um, I do think it's insane how, how much time has passed since they started making it, and how little time is supposed to have passed in the show. Yeah. And how different they all look and, um, I, I. But the show is so massive and what they do in it is so massive.

Like no wonder it takes a couple years to make a season. Um, this new season, the, the episodes are two and a half hours. They're movies. Wow. They're like two hours, two and a half hours each. Oh, wow. Yeah. So there's a tranche that just came out. There's gonna be a tranche at Christmas time, and then the finale's gonna be released in theaters New Year's Day.

Wow. Yeah. Okay. So, um, it, it's really good. I was really excited that it's back. Yeah. And I totally got right back into it. Um, they have, you know, it's all takes place in the eighties, so it's like built on nostalgia. They eat, um, oh shit, I'm gonna forget the name of them again. Peanut butter. Um, shit. I'm gonna look it up on my phone.

It's like a snack from the eighties and no one Quan doesn't remember it. My sister doesn't remember it. Uh, I'm trying to find someone else that like actually ate this. Um, peanut butter bops. Mm. Did you ever eat a peanut butter bopper? No. Can you [00:20:00] show me a, I pulled it up. Do you have a picture of it there?

Yeah. But you know how goes See it goes. Yeah. But you know how this goes. So watch this on YouTube and so. No, I don't know that. Okay. I don't know that. So it's, it's the shape of a hot dog, basically. And it's like a chocolate candy. It's like, imagine a chocolate candy coated hot dog uhhuh with like, with like nuts uhhuh in the candy coating uhhuh.

But the inside is soft peanut butter uhhuh. Okay, sure. Um, yeah, I don't think we ever had them at my house, but I definitely had them in the eighties. Like, mm, probably it's someone else's house and I had totally forgotten about them and they eat them in the show, so the nostalgia hit heart. Nice. So that's part of the pleasure of the show.

Nice. Sure. Yeah. Oh yeah. Yeah. They've always done a great job with that. Like, and that's, I mean, when I was watching it, I always, the first, I mean, of course the first season like hit on all cylinders, it was all of that. And then, yeah, the second season is that, uh, uh. Paul riser the second season. Um, maybe 'cause that was great.

So like, they, they just do such a good job with the nostalgia. Yeah. Um, and I, yeah, there's no, I didn't, I didn't fall off because I didn't like it anymore. I just fell off it, you know. Sure. I just couldn't keep up. Um, but that's great that it's [00:21:00] still doing. So I saw 11 on like Colbert this week or something and there was something, I don't know.

I don't, I didn't stick with it 'cause I didn't, I'm not caught up at all. Yeah. Um, I knew that something was afoot. Um, I guess she got in like, was it Bec She posted something like, she was like crying and then everyone was like, ha tried jumping on the, the Easter eggs of, of, is this because something happens to 11?

Is this because of the show? Yeah. It's like, what is this? Is this, what is this? What's going on here? Like in a, well, it's the last season of a show where. People's lives are on the line. So it's all, the internet is a buzz with Yeah. What's gonna happen and who's gonna die, and theories. And, um, it's a lot of that right now, which is part of the fun of it.

Um, but yeah. What else would you, oh dude, we've watched so much. We've, it's been just lazy, uh, watching tv, taking a break from life. We, we plowed through the studio, um, on love that love the studio. What outta you know, somebody you, I know. Uh, uh, like so high tense. So, so, oh, yeah. Yeah. It wasn't a, [00:22:00] it wasn't pleasurable for me.

Mm. Uh, I found the score to be a particularly grading and like trying to tell me how to feel the whole time. Um, there were definitely, I laughed out loud a bunch. There's definitely like, really funny moments, but, um, I just found it to be like not a pleasurable experience as well as pluribus on Apple tv.

What? No, I'm a hard, hard pass on. I've watched one and a half episodes. Okay. I've watched, I've watched the pilot, I've watched one. Tell me why you're, uh, out. Okay. Like this? Yeah. I just, I don't know. I don't, I don't enjoy the, there wasn't a part of you that was like, wow, that act, these actors are, do like, either, they're like, either they've.

They've edited this somehow, or these actors are just fucking doing that and you're not impressed. I was very impressed by all those individuals. Like, no, I, I think it's, you know, I've been trying to unpack what I'm feeling this way. I think we are living in a dystopian hellscape right now in real life, and so I, I'm not interested in.

Going down a wormhole of another dystopian hellscape for fun. Sure. If that makes sense. Sure. Whereas maybe [00:23:00] at other times in my life I would've been more open to something like that. Yeah. Um, but I think for me personally, with the way the world is right now, I just like, um, it's just not fun to me to have that mystery and not know, and.

Um, yeah, that's fair. Yeah. Yeah. It's not, it's not because you don't, uh, you don't care if a strong female lead, right. You're not because No, not at all. She's good, I guess, but like, it's just, we got, we've wicked. We're out on, she, we've got wicked. We're out on, we've got, we're out on. No, it's not, it's not, it's not that at all.

No, no. Not at all. Morning show, we're out on, I don't know, man. It's No, man. It's not that. I, I, no, not at all. I just like. ID do you care about her? Like are you, what, when you watch it, are you rooting for her, or, I have no idea. I have no idea what to think yet. I don't know. I mean, I rooting for her. I don't know.

I thought that the, um, the opening scene with her was really funny. I, I, like, I, I, I don't know what to think about her yet. I don't know what to think about any of it yet. I'm gonna stick with that because, I mean, first of all, I love Vince Gilligan. I didn't ever get, I never finished. Better Call Saul. Um.

But, uh, breaking Bad I think [00:24:00] is phenomenal. And Butter Call Salt just was a, a, Jenna and I were trying to keep up together and it didn't happen, and that was years ago and we've never gone back to it. Um, yeah, but I, I think that it's so good, but this is such a different, and I forgot that these X-Files too, so like that doesn't, I was young enough for that, that I didn't really, yeah, X-Files didn't hit for me in the, you know, the right way at the original when it first came out.

Um, so I don't really know about his sci-fi side. Um, I love his. Uh, the, the breaking bad side. And so I don't know what to think about any of it yet. Like, I, like I didn't know, you know, what, what was going on at all. I, I, I have no idea. Um, so I'm kind of. Interested. I'll stick around for a minute. I wanna see what's going on.

Um, I, I don't know, do I care about her or not? I think she's doing a good job. I don't know, you know? Yeah. I don't, I don't understand what's happening yet. So, but yeah. In a way that I'm okay with that. I'm okay with sticking around to figure out what the hell's going on. Yeah. You wanna f you wanna know what's happening.

Yeah. Yeah. I, it, it hooks me. The, the mystery has, uh, hooked me. I mean, we, I watched one episode and then felt like that was fine. I didn't have to go right into the next one, but I did. Yeah. [00:25:00] Uh, I'll, I'll keep watching it. That's, it's, um. You haven't watched the chair company have you? No. Okay. Do you know it?

I know what it is 'cause Simon's in it. Yeah. So Simon, um, my favorite Brit, Matt, coy Memphis, his baby is my second favorite. Brit Simon Pearl is my favorite. Bri, shout out Simon Pearl. I love you. Shout up. Shout out Simon Pearl. Um, and he doesn't watch this. No, but we watch him so, or I watch him. So, uh, and I don't know if you do, how I did I talk about Tim Robbins before, it doesn't matter.

He's. Insane. In the best way possible. The way that, did you ever watch, um, I think you should leave, I think you should leave now. I think he should leave whatever his show is. No, it's a sketch comedy show on Netflix and it's bonkers. It's like, kind of like Mr. Show with Bob and Dave, but like to the next degree of bonkers ness.

And the chair company is just like, like talk about, do you want to know what's going on or not? Like, does it hook you because it's. Fucking bonkers. It like is so every, everything is a left turn. That's what I like about Tim's writing style. The way that his sketches and shows work is that like [00:26:00] every time there's a choice to be made, it's like they make, it's like he intentionally just like chooses one that sure fits the scenario but is not, it's like the, not the top six choices at all.

It, it keeps making a weird left turn every step of the way until you're just in like a total, it's real world settings, but like in a totally different place than you would ever end up in this story. Um, and I. Love it, but it's definitely one of those that like, you're not really gonna get all the answers maybe until the end.

And if it doesn't get you, then I can see someone being out on it real quick. But yeah. Um, for me, like I, that one is one, I gotta know what's going on. And Polar bus, I don't gotta know what's going on, but I'm interested, uh, I'm interested in what's going on there. Okay. Cool. Report back. All right. I will, I will.

I'll let you know. Um. Yeah. Yeah. So I, uh, we'd, because we didn't talk last week, I have been dying to chat with you about the Momani Trump meetup. Yeah. Which was just so, um, enjoyable on so many platforms. Great, great, great. Like, uh, uh, relevant branding for our first episode is bro Homo, because what a [00:27:00] little bro homey Trump is from mom dining now.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. It's just fascinating to see. That, that's how that played out. Um, and like I, it was like I knew the meeting was coming, I was following the lead up to it. And I remember being at work thinking they're literally talking right now. I can't wait to hear what happens. Yeah. And like not being so surprised, like Yeah.

If that's what went down and yeah. That guy's just magical. He can win over. Yeah. Anybody. Well, and I, I really, do you have any, any theories on why that went the way it went? Other than just we have the Matt King right now? I think he like stars, like, yeah, I, I think he likes stars and winners. Um, and I think he likes sexy men, to be honest.

Yeah. I don't necessarily know if that's a gay thing, but I do think he likes sexy men and, um. Yeah. I think he's attracted to star power and he's a star fucker. Yeah. And, uh, wants fancies himself to be one and wants to be one and likes to be around it. Yeah. I think that, that, it's as simple as that. I could be wrong.

Yeah. I mean, I, I don't, I don't know. There's no reason to think it's not that. I think that's a good, I I think that [00:28:00] there, you're right, there's a lot about him that he's just so needs to be liked. Like, I don't know that I've ever seen a more clear example of someone who didn't get their parents' love, who just like will do.

Fucking anything to be accepted and loved. Yeah. But like, instead of any of the, none of the healthy things, none of none of the working on that in a real way. Yeah. And, and spending time on yourself and learning how to create relationships. It's just like he's just a star fucker. He'll, he will, he will suck up to anyone he thinks might give him some attention and give him some clout.

And I, it seems like Momani, uh, you know, held his ground, like was, was polite and diplomatic. Yeah. But like didn't go in there and cave didn't kiss ass like Yeah. I mean, it was the other way around. It looked like, you know, like, yeah. And we're so late talking. This is a real, uh, timely, real timely, bro, bro, homo in, in classic, no homo bro.

Homo fashion. Yeah. A nice lukewarm take. Um, but I, I loved it. Um, and I think that like it, uh, slightly more relevant, more timely, like is a great. The, the, you know, pivot lead into this, uh, Seth stuff with the Venezuelan, the, [00:29:00] the boat, the missile calls. Yeah. And like clearly now it's coming out. They're making out this bullshit about it being all right.

You know, so if it is, if it is a wartime call, well then, okay, then you, like, that's a war crime. You're breaking. Yeah. Is it, I dunno if it's like Geneva convention or like, just like whatever part of the, I don't know. Yeah. War legality. It is. But, and, and that again just comes down. I don't know if it's, I don't know if there's something bigger at play there.

Like they're trying, are we, are we trying to get oil from them? Are we trying to, to go to war? Or is it just a fucking, another distraction is another, there's another pissing show. Think oil is part of it. I think, I think it's a conflux of uh, a lot of things, oil being one of them. Um, I think there's also, um.

Rubio, I think wants to stop socialism in Central America. And, and is, this is just a stepping stone to Cuba. Mm-hmm. Um, where, which is his family's background. Mm-hmm. And I think that that's something that goes deep for him. And so I think you've got these different people in charge and it's like a, a.

Conflicts of bad personalities and Yeah, bad [00:30:00] intentions. At the, at the, at the same time, I mean, it's also fascinating that we're supposedly doing this to stop drug trafficking, but then Trump just pardoned. Yeah. Uh, well, yeah, like the CONDU president or p no, they don't, they don't even try to like connect any dots anymore.

They're not actually covering their tracks at all anymore. Like that's, that's what's gotten so crazy about it, is it's just like, take a giant swing, do something bonkers, and then it's, yeah. Like, uh, like, okay, we're gonna, we're gonna release the files redacted to fuck, you know, like after all of this time spent black lining everything.

And that's just gonna be what it is. Like, there's no covering actually trying to like, tell a decent story at all anymore. All of it is fucking, and, and it's because, I mean, they're not wrong. They keep getting away with all of it. So like, I. I understand the hubris, they have been convinced that they can get away with all of it.

Now, the first time around, everyone except Trump around him got a little fucked. Either got fired or put away, or, you know, something went wrong for him. So, I know that hasn't started happening yet, but I don't know why these guys aren't a little bit suspicious of what's gonna happen when [00:31:00] they're the ones that have to, that get put in front of him, you know, get Yeah, take the, yeah, take the bullet or whatever.

Um, I don't know. It's, it's scary times. I mean, they're literally shooting. Men hanging off wreckage Yeah. In the water. Yeah. And sending extra shots to make sure they're dead. Yeah. It's pretty sad and scary stuff. Yeah. Um, yeah. But I, uh, uh, uh, we talked about, you know, sort of diving into our Thanksgiving mm-hmm.

Histories and our backgrounds and this Thanksgiving versus other Thanksgivings and um, so that's gonna be our little topic. For the day. Uh uh, so tell me about, about you. Got you. So NPR, so sweaty balls about that. I did, I did, I did get a little, we're gonna talk the day learning, learning how to podcast again.

What, what was your Thanksgivings like growing up? Growing up? I, uh, so my parents, our hometown sweethearts, um, so they, both of their parents are still in the same hometown. So my grandparents like high school sweethearts. Yeah. Yeah, like high school hometown, like they went to church together growing up. Um, they were not in the same high school, but they were in the same church and knew each other like from, you know, from, from [00:32:00] growing up.

Wow. And yeah, they, they were high school sweethearts. My dad graduated a year before my mom from high school. My mom, um, they went to the same university. My mom shout out to my mom, graduated college in three years so that she could graduate with my dad. Um. And, uh, you know, the rest is, uh, history, but So how old were they when they had their first kid?

25. It was me. Wow. It was me. Yeah. Wow. So, listen, and I know on the podcast before and in my life I've got, I've got plenty of feedback or plenty of, uh, perspective on my. Parents, and you know what it was, but also like they were 25 by the time they were thir before they were 35, they had four kids, which is to me, like insane.

Yeah, that's, that's so you know, all of the understanding for that. But, um. But because they're from the same hometown, um, my, my grandparents are from the same town, uh, just like on the opposite side or on different, in different parts of town. Um, so we would have two Thanksgivings in a day. We'd have a lunch and a dinner, uh, like we would [00:33:00] do my dad's family maybe sometimes Thursday and Friday.

But a lot of times it really was like an early one and a late one. And my, they're just very different families. My dad's family. My dad has one brother. Um. And that that uncle of mine has one son. So that's like a pretty small family. Um, and then my mom's side, there's a. She has three siblings who had a bunch of kids.

Uh, so it was like very different. So my dad's family was like, delicious food. All my grandmother was an in incre is an incredible cook. Um, she's still with us. She just doesn't cook as much anymore. Um, uh, an incredible cook. Um, but it was like a very, uh, quiet, like sit down at the dining room table and everyone passes to the right and everyone knows which fork is which.

And you know, everyone, it's like a, you got dressed up proper. What's that? Mm-hmm. Did you get dressed up? Wow. Yeah. Not like. Not like to the nines, but yeah, it was like you, you looked nice for Thanksgiving. Yeah. Um, I mean, we would go, like we'd hang out all morning watching football, whatever. Then everyone would go Yeah.

In, in this small house each, you know, like shower and redress for Thanksgiving to [00:34:00] come to dinner and wait for all the ladies to sit down before the gentleman sat down and, you know. Wow. Um, so it was like, uh, uh, very proper, delicious, but very proper, very quiet kind of meal. And then, um, we drive across town to my mom's house and it was like.

Chaos. It was like a party central. There was a bunch of cousins. We played football in the front yard. There was like, it was always buffet style. There was no dining room table of any kind. I mean, there was, that's where the buffet was and people just sat wherever you were gonna sit throughout the whole house and the yard, whatever, whatever.

Um, and it was a lot of fun. It there, there wasn't. Um, overt drinking in that house. I never saw alcohol. I don't know if people were drinking. I have to imagine there were plenty of cousin walks or, you know, the equivalent. Um, but it, like the vibe felt like a drinking party. It was loud and raucous and not outta hand, not like drinking, like things were going wrong, but it was nonstop.

It was, it was just chaos in, in a very fun way. And so really that was like. I mean, my whole childhood was vacillating between those two. [00:35:00] Um, you know, and sometimes it would be like we, yeah, like I said, Thursday and then Friday and but be, it wasn't like we had to pick one because they're in the same town.

So like, yeah. Thanksgiving and Christmas we would do the same thing, which is like funny. Now looking on it like I, we have my family now I have to choose where we're gonna do which holiday 'cause we gotta travel. Yeah. Which is its own kind of like hardship, but it's kind of crazy. Now that I look back on it to, for my parents especially to be like 30 something years old and just like driving four hours with the kids to get their grandparents and then just popping back and forth all day long to, you know, to to different hours.

Four hours. Yeah. To not between houses, between from my house to my grandparents, um, from the town I grew up in to where my grandparents lived. And then that was four hours and then back and forth between those two houses. Yeah, yeah. Um, but yeah, just like real, a real yin and yang. A real. You know, I don't know why I'm so concerned about your clothes, but would you play football in the same clothes?

You No, no, no. We would change, we would. Oh, wow. Like there was like a, like we would like a rough and tumble look. Yeah, we would, we would, um, we'd dress down for my [00:36:00] mom's, um, for my mom's family. Amazing. Yeah, you had to cooking. Who had the better food? Uh, you know, I, they were every, it's the south man, so everyone can cook.

It's delicious food. Like, we might not be worried about the, the, uh, calorie, the caloric intake or like the actual health of any of it, but it was all delicious. My. My dad's was so, uh, refined and all the dishes were like, and my grandmother did all of it. She would not let anyone in the kitchen. Um, and then my mom's house, my mom's parents was much more of a potluck.

Mm-hmm. So everyone would bring something. Mm-hmm. Um, and so, and like that one was, so I don't remember the food from that one as much because it was just so much what I remember as the party and the vibe of all of it happening. Um, but it was delicious. I mean, it was like, I don't know. I, I think that, I think that the South does.

Big meals like this? Pretty, pretty well, uh, yeah, I, I like it. Um, I don't really like, I don't know why Turkey has stayed the thing. I don't know who really loves Turkey. Yeah. Like, I don't know why, you know, like [00:37:00] some, I someone maybe subbing like a, a rump roast or a ham or something to sneak a ham or you know, whatever.

Something like that. But I don't. Love Turkey, but I, I feel like if you put enough butter on something, that's what the south is good at is just putting butter and salt on a thing. Yeah. Um, but not to take away from a Yankee Thanksgiving. What was it like up here for you? Yeah, I, so we, growing up, when I was younger, we went to, on my mom's side of the family, my mom grew up with three other sisters.

So there were four sisters and her oldest sister would host at their house, and she was a really good cook. And so my, the first 12 Thanksgivings of my life were there and that. SI look back at that very fondly and we had this humongous. Dinner that was courses. So the first course was Antipast, and then we would take like an hour antipast.

Mm-hmm. That is such a Yankee, such a Yankee Italian American thing to drop off the last vowel. Yep, yep, yep. And then, uh, and then, yep. And then, uh, then we would have like an Italian wedding soup kind of thing. That was the second course. Uh, and then another hour later it would [00:38:00] be like the pasta course. Um, and then it would be like the Thanksgiving meal course.

Wow. Which was, yep. And then, uh. Then there was like fruits and nuts and then there was dessert. So it was like seven courses I think. Wow. I don't remember how, remember I just said, but it started at like noon and went till we probably left at like 10 o'clock at night. Wow. Yeah. It was, it was, it was really fun.

And, um, my, that side of the family had some tension that developed over the years and so they don't all talk anymore, and that's part of why we stopped doing that. Mm. But at the time we were doing that, everybody was getting along and so I remember like laughing a lot and uh, like the men would go downstairs to watch football and I was young and also gay, so I would stay upstairs with the women and we would play board games and laugh and um, it was just like really fond memories and really delicious food.

Uh, and then we, as we got older, I think maybe as things kind of got rocky on that side of the family and then. My dad's side of the family, uh, I think maybe his parents were getting older and, um, my grandmother [00:39:00] got sick, so we would, did a couple Thanksgivings with that side of the family, which were fun because they were bigger and I had more cousins.

Yeah. But a little bit, a bit of a disappointment food wise. Um, just kind of like, just, just the Thanksgiving. Just the normal Thanksgiving stuff, no extras. And I was just kind of like, you know, um, I don't love the Thanksgiving menu. I'm just gonna come out and say like, yeah, I don't really care about it. Um, which, I mean, I, we agree on Turkey.

What, what other, like, run through the list of what you would call the traditional menu and, and cranberry sauce stuffing. No stuffing. You don't like stuffing? I mean, like I do. It's good, but like, it's not gonna be my first choice ever. Sure. Like that, that menu is not gonna be my first choice ever. Sure. Um, and then as I got older and like going home from college and stuff, my family kind of agreed we didn't like Turkey, so my dad would do like, uh, a roast or something.

That's great. Yeah, so that was more exciting. Rump, roasts that I just, I just threw that out there. I didn't even know that you guys did that. That's great. That's, I don't know if we did a rump roast. I don't exactly know what it mean. Yeah. I, I don't, I keep saying rump roasts for it, but just a, yeah, a roast.

I, I mean I love hearing [00:40:00] you say rump roasts, so you are a little rump roast. Um, yeah. But than Thanksgiving's, the first holiday where I really separated from my family, it's the first one that I didn't go home for. Yeah. In college and, um, a couple times, like, worked on Thanksgiving and, um. Like, were you a big Friendsgiving guy or have you been because you guys' host, like that's your, like, family stuff.

But you you, you have done Friendsgiving in the past. Yeah, I have. And they're enjoyable. Yeah. Um, yeah. It's like if the, if it's the menu of the menu, I'm never gonna be excited if it's that menu. Yeah. Which it frequently is, but, uh, yeah. I don't know. It's not like my top holiday. I, I already told you this time of year.

Yeah. Not my favorite. So. Yeah. Um. Yeah. Yeah. I'm with you on that. I, I, I do like Thanksgiving when it's done well, and I think that, um, uh, Jen's dad's family, Jen's family does Thanksgiving well. It's always a big fun party. They have a, yeah. We should talk about your tradition that you kindly invited us to one year.

The, uh, for the Croquette Day Friday. Yeah, yeah, yeah. The, the Friday after Thanksgiving. So they're, um, they're [00:41:00] Dutch, and so the cro, the CIA is, uh, you know, every culture has, its like breaded and fried meat. Envelope. Um, and so this is the Dutch one is like rolled, you know, meat and uh, whatever ru that goes into it, and then it's breaded and fried.

Um, and so they started doing Turkey croquet, croquettes on uh, Friday because they'd be leftover Turkey. And they were like, well, let's just do this Dutch thing where we just fry up little Turkey balls and eat those. And that became such a, a popular day. Um, that that party is actually now, like bigger.

There's a whole, there's a second, and this year there was a second and third, uh, Turkey, uh, the, uh, roasted or whatever you do for a Turkey made. Um, so that they just for their croquettes, just for, just for croquettes. Wow. Um, and it's funny too, like it's a great party and people show up, the neighborhood shows up, they invite everyone.

It's a lot of fun. You gotta start hiding croquettes for yourself, like early on because there's so many people that want them that say like, they really become a, a high, a hot commodity. Um, but like. Every year it's like kind of chaos to figure out the recipe and to get it all right again and get the whole [00:42:00] procedure right.

And the kitchen turns into just, just chaos. And then kept talk. I kept saying like, maybe it's like time to like clean up this recipe, and like Jen's like trying to like order it like, like really help refine the recipe. But I realized this year the chaos is part of the fun for the family. Like the, the getting all in the kitchen and, and being like arguing over how much of this one thing it is.

Or like if someone's stirring the pot too slowly or too fast, then all, you know, like all of the family things that happen. I really think that's the, sure, that's what they want from it. And it's, it's fun man. It's a really good time. Are you involved in the making? A little bit, but I stay, I stay pretty neck down.

There's a lot of like Turkey pulling early on. You gotta like, you know, do a lot like the kids get involved. And I feel like I provided at least half of another two person, uh, child labor force. So I don't have to do as much. 'cause I just sent my kids in there to do it. Okay. Um, I did two, make some room for extra Turkey this year.

I, uh, smoked some Turkey wings, um, and took up some smoked Turkey for Thanksgiving so there would be more Turkey to use on Friday. Nice. And that was pretty good. It was my first time [00:43:00] smoking. Yeah, smoking Turkey. And it, it came out, came out pretty good. Um, we, we, we got a smoked Turkey from Pig Beach for our Thanksgiving.

Oh, nice. We got the Turkey and the mac and cheese catered. Nice. Yeah. We had, um, we had, uh, Quan's dad and two of his sisters, one of his nephews came over and my sister and her husband and her kids. So some, some of our families met for the first time. That's great. Uh, which was really exciting. And uh, yeah, we had a nice little Thanksgiving and I'm so.

Fucking glad it's over. I hate, I'm such a scrooge this time of year. I don't know what's come over me, but, um, yeah. Aw, yeah, man. This time of year. Wow. Wow. Wow. Am I a scrooge? Um, no, no, no, no.

I mean, we, we both decided, which we're not, we're we're almost two. Um, we both decided to put a section in the show of who would you fight. So it's like we all, you know. Yeah. Do you wanna fight every social media trend that's ever happened in every place of fun? Everyone's invent, everyone anyone's ever invented.

Yes. But no. No, just the ones that are [00:44:00] dangerous. I just wanna help people have fun safely. That's it. That's it. That's fair. That's fair. That's it. Um, also, like we're coming up on the holidays and we'll spend more time on this kind of stuff, I'm sure soon, but I was thinking the other day about like Dickens and Scrooge.

How celebrated he is by the end of that book. He just gets fucking regular by the end of that book. Like, he's not even like doing that much, he's just paying his employee better. Yeah. Like he's paying his employee a living fucking wage. Yeah. And not being a dick. And it's like the most celebrated turnaround of a character ever.

Yeah. Like, and we were, we were doomed from even Dickens day. He was. Uh, alright. I think that's a good, a good, uh, segue into Yeah. Who would you fight, who would you fight? Ah, pow, pow. That was nice. Great. Inaugural, bro. Homo, who would you fight? Song I acted a lot. I'll go first. Okay. I wanna fight people that still put two spaces after a period when they're typing.

Um, anything really. An email uhhuh a novel, uh, piece of writing for work. Um. And [00:45:00] listen, I took, I took keyboarding, they called it in high school. Yeah. My sophomore year of high school. I took an entire year of basically typing lessons and I love that. Loved that class. I loved it. I'm so grateful for that skill.

I can type very quickly and pretty efficiently and, um, that it's been very helpful in my life. And I was taught, I was, I'm from the age of people that was taught period, two spaces, Uhhuh, and I loved it. I loved it. I loved those two spaces I loved. The finality of it. I loved the breadth of it. I loved that it meant I was moving onto a new thought.

Like I took those seriously and I hung onto it for a very, very long time. And then someone had to call me out on it once and get real with me and say that it was extra now. And it's true ever since. Now we use computers and, and at the time it was word processors, but um, like the technology is doing it for us, when you put a period in a sentence.

The computer is automatically giving some extra space after that period, and you don't, you no longer need to do the two, and it now it just looks bad. So I wanna fight people that [00:46:00] are holding onto that and welcome them to the future. But it is kind of tricky because on the phone at least, and I'm still like super bad at Outlook, which I use for work, and I, I don't know even know how the, it works, whatever.

But on the phone, it like two spaces is what gives you the period. I know that it doesn't make a period, two spaces, it's not like three. Places that are used, used of two spaces. Gives you the period. Yeah. You go B up, like if you type, type, type type B up, the two spaces gives you a period. I believe you. I'm, I'm gonna, I'm gonna explain.

So yeah, check it out. And I mean, I think that the spacing of it works out such that it's like, it's like you said, it is doing it for you. It is giving you the extra space there, but if you're just type, type, type, type, type, double space, it gives you a period that's, that's something I didn't know that happened.

Like if I'm gonna type a period when I'm, now it's, it's. Um, it's, it's, it's typing everything that I'm saying. Um, I just typed the period. I didn't know that that was a thing. Um, so you've taken an extra time. You could just be, you could double tap the space bar. Instead of going to like the icons pa like having to click the the icon page, [00:47:00] click period and go back just to tap, tap.

We'll give you a period. Let me see what that does sound. You're going to a whole new page. Uh, you're getting mad at people who double space and you're going to a whole new page every time you need a period. I don't know what I do now. You're questioning making me question everything. And also, by the way, just so you know, uh, as far as.

Gen Z says, uh, periods and caps in texts is already extra. That's too much. Um, I guess periods are okay. Sometimes commas are too much and caps are, I just type the sentence to you and I do, I go to the extra page to do the uh, that's so extra. That's so extra. Wow. Burned by my own. Who to fight or just educated by it.

You learn something. Look at that. Educated. Educated. Thank you. Thank you. Well, speaking of school, uh, I wanna fight people who honk at buses. When they're out in front of a school at pickup, like, I understand it's crowded, like it's, but it's pickup time. Ki literally, kids are getting on a bus, like that's the worst time to, what are you, what, what are you doing?

Don't honk at that. There's is this, this is really happening. It happens all the time. [00:48:00] It happens almost every day. Like, I, how are you not, I can't imagine you not getting outta your car and rages. Oh yeah. It happens all the time. And I have to like, like there, I have to like. I've watched teachers get scared by my reaction to the person honking.

So I've had to like really work to chill out on that. Yeah. 'cause I will go fucking off on someone who's doing that kind of thing, because like there's literally nothing to do. Yeah. And all you're doing at that point is saying like, look at me, I'm upset. Like, fucking, we're all here waiting for the same thing, man.

Like. Even if you, if there weren't a bus and you want to be mad that you accidentally picked a, a side street that has a school on it and you're stuck in the jammed up traffic at pickup. I understand that. Probably gonna be a mess. You're probably gonna be a couple minutes anyway, because there are kids leaving school and getting caught.

Yeah. Still kind of an asshole too. Yeah. But a fucking bus with a stop sign out in front of a school, like there's nothing else. I, I, I will fight actually, literally will fight all of the people doing that. I want to. Desperately want to. That's terrible. They should, they should all be killed. They should be, um, [00:49:00] shot on boats by Pete.

He, yeah. Yeah. Let's stop wasting our missiles on boats in the, uh, out in the Gulf or wherever. It was like, let's just aim 'em right at these. Souped up, jacked up trucks and SUVs. It always, it's always some douche bag who feels like they, they're in a hurry. Um, anyway, um, you ready to read this out? No, you do, you do.
