And I see a woman get fucking ran over by a truck.

SPEAKER_02

SPEAKER_00

Yeah, it was like it was on a really narrow bridge. And the guy in this uh like big diesel dually truck did not get over at all.

SPEAKER_03

Oh my god, that's terrifying.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah, so I run up or I I get up to it and you know put my hazards on and then I run out to her.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00

Uh her foot was not facing the right direction.

SPEAKER_01

Oh, cool. Ooh.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah. So, and I'm like, ma'am, ma'am, please don't move. Like, we don't know how injured you are. Don't try to get up.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00

Uh, and another woman was running, she's like, Do I need to call 911? And like I point at her foot. She's like, Oh god.

SPEAKER_01

And she oh sick.

SPEAKER_00

She calls the cops, and it was uh it was very sad because it was her birthday. Oh and uh the next day she was leaving for a week-long vacation, like in the Bahamas.

SPEAKER_03

She was not going.

SPEAKER_00

She, yeah, definitely not.

SPEAKER_03

Was she running?

SPEAKER_00

No, she was riding her bike. Oh a very expensive bike.

SPEAKER_03

That's terrifying.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03

Oh my god.

SPEAKER_00

It was it was pretty traumatic because then had to sit there for a while, like until like the the cops and the uh everybody got there, EFTs, yeah, and had to give a statement. And the guy that hit her, like at least he stopped. Yeah, he he was a fucking antique. He should not have been driving.

SPEAKER_03

Oh god. I had some shit.

SPEAKER_00

And he was like kind of the whole time, he's like, Well, maybe the city will fix this fucking bridge. It's like, or don't hit people.

SPEAKER_03

Yeah, I let's blame it on the city. Leave it to America, beautiful land of the free.

SPEAKER_00

So in celebration of America, yeah. Why don't we kind of uh dive into a little bit of uh American history, some of the fun things America is done.

SPEAKER_03

Can't wait.

SPEAKER_00

Here we go. So what why don't we let's start where it all began. Before America was a country in 1772, the colonists were all fucking pissed off about these goddamn taxes.

SPEAKER_03

Well, who isn't pissed off about taxes?

SPEAKER_00

Mm-hmm. Uh these high taxes from Great Britain uh were placed on them because Britain had a large amount of debt because they keep fucking losing wars.

SPEAKER_03

Yeah, why don't you win something?

SPEAKER_00

So then uh yeah, then they're like, well, why don't we just tax the fucking people in a different country?

SPEAKER_03

I mean, why not?

unknown

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00

Uh so then the colonists started fighting the fucking soldiers and causing a whole big ruckus.

SPEAKER_02

Gross.

SPEAKER_00

Then many of them, many of the people were upset with King George the Third. He's the guy that was in charge at the time. Because of something about how King George III uh released the files, even though his name was in them over 38,000 times.

SPEAKER_03

He was a whistleblower.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah. Something about whistleblowing. He was a fucking pedophile.

SPEAKER_03

Probably. There was like a lot of Georges.

SPEAKER_00

And then in April of 1775, the first battles began, and then by July of 1776, a declaration of independence was made. Oh. So what I didn't understand, I guess, was the Declaration of Independence. A lot of people are like, so that's that's when we became a country, right? Well, kind of.

SPEAKER_03

Get out of my drink.

SPEAKER_00

They declared their independence, but it wasn't fucking recognized. Like you can declare anything.

SPEAKER_03

I declare a thumb war.

SPEAKER_00

Should we do a thumb war? One, two, three, four. I declare a thumb war.

SPEAKER_03

Uh oh god. Ow! God, fucking dad fingers. Ow! All right.

SPEAKER_00

One, two, three. I win.

SPEAKER_03

Whatever. Any lost his paper. Made it that much better. Okay. Well.

SPEAKER_00

Some wars have to be declared.

SPEAKER_03

For sure.

SPEAKER_00

There's no way that like some other country was doing dumb shit like that.

SPEAKER_03

Well, that's how they tried to win a war. And they're like, oh, your thumb was much stronger.

SPEAKER_00

Mm-hmm. Oh, so uh, yeah, after they they declared their independence.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00

Uh, that stupid fucking bitch, King George III, he kept yelling, stop the steal, and wouldn't it acknowledge the United States independence until 1783?

SPEAKER_03

Really?

SPEAKER_00

Yeah. It was fucking crazy shit.

SPEAKER_03

I didn't know it was that long.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah, so that that's the beginning of America. Now let's talk about some fun stuff. Like slavery. Jesus. How do you feel about slavery?

SPEAKER_03

What I'm just gonna practice my cast over here. My casting.

SPEAKER_01

So uh I don't want to talk about slavery.

SPEAKER_00

Slavery's fun. Um it's kind of bad, I guess. I some people might say it's bad. Uh but we live in Trump's era, so we're all slaves. That's good, I guess. I don't know.

SPEAKER_03

Aren't we all slaves? We're slaves to the taxes.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03

Right? The tax money.

SPEAKER_00

All right, let's let's not talk about slavery. Okay, okay. That's that. Let's talk about uh Japanese American internment camps.

SPEAKER_03

Oh, god. Is that where they did a lot of foot binding?

SPEAKER_00

No, that's where uh after Pearl Harbor, America was like, we hate Asians. And like literally anybody that was slant-eyed, they threw into a concentration camp.

SPEAKER_03

Why are like why are Americans so dumb?

SPEAKER_00

Why are Americans so racist? Like, you have to be like fucking Aryan race or right.

SPEAKER_03

Let's talk about like Nazis, right? I mean, so what? You had to be Aryan. You if you're a Jew, like why do we do all of this dumb shit?

SPEAKER_00

This this country is so fucked. It's like the people in charge are always white, straight men. Oh yeah, it's the white it's never any other it's the good old boys club.

SPEAKER_03

Yeah, that's what it is. Same shit with like nine after 9-11, right? Everybody was like, oh no, you're what I standy or whatever.

SPEAKER_00

Anybody with a towel on their head was so ridiculous. Yeah.

SPEAKER_03

Like we are dumb.

SPEAKER_00

Oh, another other a little fun. The Trail of Tears. You know what that was?

SPEAKER_03

I remember reading about that, but I refresh my memory.

SPEAKER_00

Uh it was uh where uh white men were like Native Americans don't belong in this country, so they put them all in Oklahoma on a reservation. Uh, which, if you can believe it, a lot of them didn't want to, so they just killed them.

SPEAKER_03

That's so sad.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah. This this country is fucked.

SPEAKER_03

Yeah, do some pretty fucked up shit.

SPEAKER_00

Like all the time, like still. Like, I can't believe that like we're still doing heinous acts.

SPEAKER_03

I mean, and I understand there's like other countries that do some heinous shit, right? Like, like what is it, like Singapore? You can get like caned if you chew bubblegum or something like that.

SPEAKER_00

Which I mean, we should just bring that back.

SPEAKER_03

I want can oh I chew gum all the time.

SPEAKER_01

I be caned every day. Something's on me.

SPEAKER_00

But uh, I mean, some other fun things to talk about.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, let's talk about it.

SPEAKER_00

Like literally every US war that we've had has been insane because we like to hide the fact that we kill a lot of innocent civilians because it's bad and it's gonna happen.

SPEAKER_01

That is true.

SPEAKER_00

But we just like to put it, you know, under the carpet.

SPEAKER_03

Like, oh, that was a whole family, like lots of kids in the build in that building.

SPEAKER_00

Even just recently, like the whole how we bombed a what was it? It was a school for girls in Iran.

SPEAKER_02

Oh, yeah.

SPEAKER_00

Uh and was it wasn't there like a nursing home? It used to be a nursing home. No, it there was a it was like 200 children died because it used to be a military operation, but the government is so stupid that they didn't even fucking Google anything. And I think that's that's a major issue, is they're using AI.

SPEAKER_03

Well, AI is everywhere now. Yeah, I don't even know if I look at a fishing picture.

SPEAKER_00

Is that you have to fucking check it and they're not checking it, and children are dying.

SPEAKER_03

So bad.

SPEAKER_00

Um speaking of children dying, uh, school shootings is so fun in this country.

SPEAKER_03

Like, when are things so crazy in your life that you just need to shoot up a school? Like, if you got some sort of beef with a teacher, I get it. Right? I had some fucked up teachers in my school history time, whatever time of my life. I wouldn't shoot them, right?

SPEAKER_00

Yeah, or other kids. But like, yeah, like even if they were fucking mean to you or whatever.

SPEAKER_03

Have we not realized that by now? Kids are assholes until like they hit a certain age.

SPEAKER_00

But I I hate too how it's like the conservative side, how I need my guns, and it's like, no, you don't. I would I would give up so many things in my life if it meant that another one more child wouldn't die in a school because of a fucking gun violence. I would give up so many things for these goddamn conservative fucks that are like, you ain't taking my fucking guns away. Like, look at Australia.

SPEAKER_03

Yeah, don't they like not have guns?

SPEAKER_00

So there was a a horrific attack. There was a, I think it was one guy that went out onto this island that was like where uh like this children's camp was, and he murdered a lot of kids.

SPEAKER_01

Really?

SPEAKER_00

Yeah, like hundreds. God and then after that, Australia was like, No, we can't have this. Yeah. And all of the people turned in their guns. So now, like, like, yeah, there's still like killings and stuff, but it's like stabbings. Well, I mean like you're not gonna fucking you're not gonna mow down, you know, 30 people uh in a few seconds with a knife.

SPEAKER_03

Right. Okay, I see both sides of that though. Because I also I like to shoot guns, but only one type of gun. Guess what gun that is?

SPEAKER_01

Shotgun.

SPEAKER_03

Fuck no. What handgun. Kind of. What kind?

SPEAKER_00

What do you mean, what kind? Like a nine mil?

SPEAKER_03

No.

SPEAKER_00

Or oh a revolver?

SPEAKER_03

I like a revolver. I'm not like an old western girl over here.

SPEAKER_00

You shoot from the hip?

SPEAKER_03

I shoot from the hip.

SPEAKER_00

There's no way that this could go on uh YouTube because we are talking about like all of the really bad things.

SPEAKER_03

And but it's we're talking about it because we do not agree with what we're not really celebrating um America, but we kind of are.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03

But we're talking about like things that I think there's a lot of fucked up shit that we've done as Americans, right? Yeah, it's and I'm sure it's other countries that have done some weird shit too. But I don't know. We don't learn from our mistakes.

SPEAKER_00

Do you think that's the problem this year? So it's the 250th. And because of the current president, it kind of seems, you know, I mean, you were around for the bicentennial, right? You were like what, like 30?

SPEAKER_02

What the fuck are you talking about?

SPEAKER_00

In 1976?

SPEAKER_02

You fuck off.

SPEAKER_00

So what was that like? You remember it?

SPEAKER_01

No, okay.

SPEAKER_00

But I feel like though, that was like all of America came together. You know? Did they celebrate it? I I feel like it because I still I see so much like bicentennial stuff, like at garage sales and shit. Like everybody fucking Well, maybe.

SPEAKER_03

I mean, I do I do feel like there's good people and there's good groups that like want to come and help and want to come and do things when shitty things happen. Yeah. Right. But I don't know.

SPEAKER_00

I also feel like But it's clouded when uh the high up people are doing heinous shit.

SPEAKER_03

You get that anywhere.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03

I mean, you get that at companies, right? Like let's talk about that, you know. It's just it doesn't, it doesn't end. And where will it end? It won't.

SPEAKER_00

So this is why we'll continue with uh some of America's greatest accomplishments.

SPEAKER_03

This is why I never brought a child into this world.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah, I know. It's it is kind of one of those things like bringing a kid into this fucked up United States is no, I have friends that like picked up and like they literally left and went to like Costa Rica. See, and that's the thing, is like I hate like people are like, well, if you don't like America, then fucking leave. It's like, all right, you fucking pay for it. You pay for me to leave.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00

Like America has fucking stopped most regular people from even leaving because you fucking work your ass off to end up being broke.

SPEAKER_02

Oh yeah. That's true.

SPEAKER_00

So in Wilmington, North Carolina, yeah, in 1898, white supremacists, if you can believe, those were in this country, uh, they didn't like that people voted for non-white people. Wow. So the hillbillies killed 60 black people and drove thousands away from their homes.

SPEAKER_02

That's sad.

SPEAKER_00

Like it's just like with what happens now is stop the steel. I can't believe that I lost. What year is that 1898. That's not that long ago. It literally just happened in fucking uh 2020, where they didn't like that their guy lost. So what did they do? They went to the fucking capital and people died.

SPEAKER_03

Oh yeah. Like they stormed it.

SPEAKER_00

It is insane.

SPEAKER_03

Now we got a UFC fight.

SPEAKER_00

Uh yeah, fucking god. Uh in 1873, the uh Comstock Act. So Congress passed an act for the suppression. So let me read like the the title of this.

SPEAKER_03

Okay.

SPEAKER_00

It is the suppression of trade in and circulation of obscene literature and articles of immoral use.

SPEAKER_03

That was book burning, wasn't it? Was it like book like when they banned a bunch of books and shit?

SPEAKER_00

So one would think that by the the terms of that act, it would be about pornography, right?

SPEAKER_03

No, let the porn porn lives on.

SPEAKER_00

But no, it was uh definitely about middle class white women not having 15 fucking kids anymore because contraceptives and birth control came out. So this was to stop skanks. Yeah, it will and so white men were terrified that immigrants were gonna take over the country because they're the ones having all the kids.

SPEAKER_03

But they were also blaming um, you know, when they would go out and see all their prostitutes, they were blaming their STDs and syphilis and gonorrhea and shit on the city. On the immigrants, yeah when, huh, joke's on you. It's probably them.

SPEAKER_00

So they they made it illegal to advertise birth control. White men fucking up this country again.

SPEAKER_03

Did you also know that it was a white man that also invented the high deal because they could make women's butts stick out?

SPEAKER_00

I'm sure there was a white man that invented songs. Boobs.

SPEAKER_03

Yeah, it's fucking so uncomfortable. I don't like cutting me in half.

SPEAKER_00

Like men are seriously the reason why everything sucks.

SPEAKER_03

And this ass, I it'll get lost in that.

SPEAKER_00

Oh, I know. Every time I wear one, yeah, it's I get a yeast infection. There you go.

SPEAKER_03

He's gotta call me for the Diflokan. I mean, it's just a thing.

SPEAKER_00

Okay, so after the Great Depression, remember those times?

SPEAKER_03

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00

We're in it fucking now again.

SPEAKER_03

Um where you would save everything. Do you know how many? Sorry, I'm gonna go off for a hot second. So when we cleaned out grandma's house, she grew up in the depression, right? Holy parquet butter containers or Betty Crocker, uh, the plastic containers.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah, they save everything. Cool whip.

SPEAKER_03

The newspapers.

SPEAKER_00

Mm-hmm.

SPEAKER_03

Literally stacks and stacks of newspapers. What in the fuck do you do with that many newspapers?

SPEAKER_00

Well, and it was I they were raised in a time of like You saved everything. Yeah, like because you never knew what fucking tomorrow meant. And now I mean now in America it's well, I'll just get an another credit card.

SPEAKER_03

Until you run out of toilet paper during COVID, and that is fucking detrimental to our buttholes. Maybe that's what it was.

SPEAKER_00

You know, I I happened to luck out uh during COVID when the whole toilet paper thing was happening.

SPEAKER_01

So shut up.

SPEAKER_00

Uh like literally right before that, we went to fucking Costco and bought a fuck ton of toilet paper, not knowing anything, you know.

SPEAKER_03

Yeah, cool. Wish we would have been talking at that time.

SPEAKER_00

And then fucking this all happened, and I was like, I'm fine. I even got the good shit.

SPEAKER_03

God damn it. I had to go and get I had to go to the dollar store and get the like RV disintegrated shit and use like the entire thing. It was awful.

SPEAKER_00

I remember people were getting the fucking bidets.

SPEAKER_03

Oh yeah.

SPEAKER_00

And I'm like, but then you're a wet, like you still have like Yeah, you gotta what do you do?

SPEAKER_03

What do you use a towel?

SPEAKER_00

Yeah, you just fucking shake dry after you're using the back mat.

SPEAKER_03

Can you imagine this on your butt? Oh that would have oh I don't know.

SPEAKER_00

These hemorrhoids though, like that might fucking hold are they getting any better? I don't know. Like I I push them back in.

SPEAKER_03

Preparation H that shit.

SPEAKER_00

Well, I got the the tuck pads.

SPEAKER_03

Tuck pads?

SPEAKER_00

Yeah. You you put it on it for a hot minute.

SPEAKER_03

Cools it.

SPEAKER_00

But as soon as I fucking take another shit, then they're right back out.

SPEAKER_03

So it doesn't even God, here we go.

SPEAKER_00

Uh so um Depression, sorry. Yeah, after after the Great Depression, Americans started blaming, you guessed it, Mexicans.

SPEAKER_03

What?

SPEAKER_00

And Mexican Americans for taking all the jobs of white Americans.

SPEAKER_03

It's because white Americans don't want to do the fucking hard labor.

SPEAKER_00

Well, uh seriously, I like so so they started deporting uh Mexicans back to Mexico, and it's estimated up to two million people were sent to Mexico, many of which were children and were American citizens because they were fucking born here. But during World War II, companies struggled to find workers because all of the men were fighting overseas. So they started welcoming Mexicans, immigrants to fill the void.

SPEAKER_03

Please come.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah, it's like it's one of those things that we hate you. They got but we need you right.

SPEAKER_03

They got fatter because their food was better. And like they did all of the shit, right? Like I just I don't get it, man.

SPEAKER_00

So like when I was writing this up, I started getting like I was like, I I looked through hundreds of different things, and I was just starting to get like, I really fucking hate this country.

SPEAKER_03

Originally, everyone, just so you know, I wanted this to be about people getting blown up by fireworks. Well, and and but there's just not enough. Okay.

SPEAKER_00

Well, and then it just becomes like just videos, like us just fucking watching videos.

SPEAKER_03

Well, you know, insert video here of somebody's hand being exploded.

SPEAKER_00

I'm not doing that. Whatever. All right, so my last uh American history. Uh this this is a little bit more recent. Okay. Uh maybe you've heard of this one. In 2019, Jeffrey Epstein was arrested.

SPEAKER_01

What? Who is that?

SPEAKER_00

Then his best friend in the whole wide world had him killed in prison to hide the fact that he was mentioned in the Epstein files over 38,000 times.

SPEAKER_02

Whistleblower.

SPEAKER_03

Who's the whistleblower? Do we know? Do we know who the official whistleblower was?

SPEAKER_00

Of the like first?

SPEAKER_01

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00

I I don't think who knows. Uh probably a victim of uh Trump's heinous crimes. He wants children.

SPEAKER_01

Stop that.

SPEAKER_00

I I'll cut that out.

SPEAKER_01

Okay.

SPEAKER_00

Uh but so like let's talk about so we've we've discussed a few of the the fucked up things that this country does, but what about like some of the the fun stuff?

SPEAKER_03

Let's talk about like what makes America America, right? Like what like like fishing.

SPEAKER_00

Fishing is an American when you think America, it's it's so it's always redneck shit. Country music, mullets, fire pits, fucking monster trucks.

SPEAKER_03

Oh, I love a monster truck rally. I want to go to a monster truck rally again. Yeah, but I want to go before I die again. I I want to go to look, I just got spider webs. Spiderwebs.

SPEAKER_00

Oh, I know. I saw it like going.

SPEAKER_03

Well, look, I just got it.

SPEAKER_00

Uh well, I want to go to the big ones that are in like the the football stadiums.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00

Because those are the the huge where they do the big jumps. Like the ones around here are too small. Oh, did you see we're getting a fucking soccer team in downtown Omaha?

SPEAKER_03

I did not see that.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah, they just fucking bought like 25 acres like just north of downtown to put in a fucking soccer stadium.

SPEAKER_03

I don't hate that. Why can't we Holy fuck? What was that?

SPEAKER_00

It's a squirrel?

SPEAKER_03

Fucking America. Yeah, if there's a fucking snake, I swear to God, I'm out.

SPEAKER_00

But like, of all the teams that Nebraska could get, like, we already love football. It's we are diehard uh still basketball. This is fuck this fucking America. Fucking that's soccer.

SPEAKER_01

Well, fucking football is fucking football.

SPEAKER_03

What else is American?

SPEAKER_01

Pinned wheels.

SPEAKER_03

Apple pie.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah, apple pie sound good.

SPEAKER_03

So like I always like it's more of like a birthday strawberry rhubarb, baby.

SPEAKER_00

Oh, that's good.

SPEAKER_03

That's my trick.

SPEAKER_00

We we have a rhubarb plant that this year's the first year that we can harvest it? Yeah, because like you have to like let it sit and like for a couple of years. Otherwise, like it's like poisonous, yeah. Uh oh, did I tell you my fucking black lilies?

SPEAKER_01

Oh yeah, they grow up?

SPEAKER_00

They bloom today.

SPEAKER_01

No. Did you take a picture?

SPEAKER_00

No, because I was so mad they are definitely not black.

SPEAKER_03

Here's fucking Roberta again in her fucking they're fucking red.

SPEAKER_00

Like fucking this color red.

SPEAKER_03

Oh no.

SPEAKER_00

I was so mad.

SPEAKER_03

Maybe they turned black when they died.

SPEAKER_00

It took a fucking a year for me to because I planted them last year, you know, and uh they didn't go the first year.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00

So waited until now for them to fucking actually bloom. Uh not fucking black.

SPEAKER_03

And what are they? Lilies?

SPEAKER_00

Yeah, black lilies is literally what I bought.

SPEAKER_03

You know, I did that one year in all my pots, and I did um, they were like black petunias. They were so fucking cool. They look like black velvet.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03

And then I ended up planting bulbs. This is like years ago, and they were black tulips, and I was pissed because those fuckers came up and they were like purple.

SPEAKER_00

I wouldn't rather have purple.

SPEAKER_03

At least it's a Halloween color.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah. Right? Like I I love purple.

And I'm not even like halfway through, right?

SPEAKER_00

It's only July 4th.

SPEAKER_03

Yeah. So well, close.

SPEAKER_00

But at the time of recording, it is it is not July 4th.

SPEAKER_03

But yeah, so now I'm like, I think I could probably hit, I don't know, I might go like 25, 27, something like that. That muskie just fucking sealed the deal.

SPEAKER_01

Well, yeah.

SPEAKER_03

So um, but yeah, so got my 21st species and then decided to hit up a different lake, and oh man, caught some fatty bluegill. I mean, this thing had a chin and a forehead. Like it was fucking huge. Um, but then it did start raining a little bit, and I was like, yeah, all right. I need to go watch a movie.

SPEAKER_00

Oh, you watched the you watched Joel's last night? I mean Well, how much did that cost to rent?

SPEAKER_03

I was just on Amazon, so it was like $3.99.

SPEAKER_00

Oh, because sometimes, like, I hate when it's like peak, like uh like season for things.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00

They charge way more.

SPEAKER_03

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00

Like uh like Halloween time. Like every fucking horror movie is.

SPEAKER_03

Well, so I tried to watch it Friday night, and I was like, fuck. Like, it's not on this, it's not on this. And then I was like, well, I'm just gonna go to YouTube. And I started taking notes just on the best scenes, but I'm like, oh, it's been too long since I watched it that I don't remember.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah. Like some of the stuff. The whole thing. Yeah. Yeah.

SPEAKER_03

So it was it was fun, but um I love fishing, you know, it's America's favorite passport.

SPEAKER_00

What what other like American things do you do every day?

SPEAKER_01

American things? Yeah. Like I I would say I don't know.

SPEAKER_03

I feel like I'm a little mine is probably more like not environment related, but like I feel like I do more like things that like a northern girl would do, not like middle of the state. You know what I mean? Like, I don't do like Nebraskan things. Number one, I don't fucking wear red. You got this for me, but I don't wear red because number one, a redhead does not look good in red.

SPEAKER_00

You have red lipstick on.

SPEAKER_03

That is an exception to the rule. Um, I would wear orange before I would ever wear red. But okay, I will say something very American that I did. I planted a uh cherry tomato.

SPEAKER_00

Oh, should we just be a gardening podcast?

SPEAKER_03

No. Oh fuck, don't drop my drink. God, how much shit you got in here? Uh would you like me to help you?

SPEAKER_01

SPEAKER_03

Well, do you see my earrings?

SPEAKER_00

This is hot dog earrings.

SPEAKER_03

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00

That's pretty sweet. Why do you have so many like fucking crazy earrings?

SPEAKER_03

Because I'm yeah. Like even during my work. I am. Because I gotta be all serious and shit with like my job.

unknown

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03

If I can just at least have fun earrings that somebody just notices, like, oh, you have like ostrich earrings on right now.

SPEAKER_00

You don't, but I can't, or well, and for me, it would be like metal bands and it would be like a dying fetus.

SPEAKER_03

And yeah, well, I will say the only time that I can wear like my true like skeleton like skull earrings and little caskets or something like that.

SPEAKER_00

Like is after Halloween.

SPEAKER_03

No, it is hot is Halloween time because I can't wear those to work. I mean, I work with death and dying, so I feel kind of bad.

SPEAKER_00

Oh yeah, these are nice. Ooh, they're sweet. I do love these hats though, actually.

SPEAKER_03

I feel like we should wear these. Well, I think that's how they're American or they're like more like Mexican. It's like Mexican.

SPEAKER_00

It's like the flapper dresses. Like from the 20s.

SPEAKER_03

Yeah. What shit do you do every day that you would say is super American?

SPEAKER_00

I I keep thinking so like American is like buying processed food and fucking driving your car. Like I swear, like America is where people like commute. Like other other countries is like it's so crazy to me.

SPEAKER_01

Like, nobody carpools.

SPEAKER_00

Here?

SPEAKER_01

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah. Like it's so crazy though, because like in other countries, like everything is like so much closer together, and people that uh don't live in the city, yeah, or just like farmers. That's it. It's either like you're in the city, yeah, or you're a farmer. Like here, it's like everything is so spread out that you have to fucking drive.

SPEAKER_03

Yeah, I I feel like though, like a lot of these little like kind of sub areas, right? Like there's like legacy crossing or something like that. There's like Village Point. Like now they're getting smarter where they're building these apartment complexes within the village. And so people who live there can walk to the restaurants. What was that one?

SPEAKER_00

Uh places. That one that got in trouble for like putting shit in people's drinks. But it had it had a pool above. Oh, yeah. I know which one you're talking about. Attached to an apartment. Yeah, it's a bar restaurant or whatever that's attached to an apartment.

SPEAKER_03

And then the up the whatever upper deck had the pool. But then I found out before like that that restaurant switched names. If you wanted to go to the bar that was affiliated with the restaurant, after a while, it was only for the residents.

SPEAKER_00

I mean, that's kind of cool, actually.

SPEAKER_03

Right?

SPEAKER_00

You know.

SPEAKER_03

Yeah. Or you'd have to like buy like a special like package to rent it out if you had like a party or something.

SPEAKER_00

I had a friend that that did that, and it was I think it was something like you had to buy a bottle.

SPEAKER_03

Something like that. And like bottle service.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah. And the problem was uh it was like four of them.

SPEAKER_03

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00

So they they had to drink an entire bottle between four of them. You know, I went there that's hard.

SPEAKER_03

The day before they shut their doors that place, and I went there for a girls' brunch, and they're like, Oh yeah, it's bottomless mimosas. And we're like, Yeah, well, we'll take it was like a group of like 10 girls. And we're like, Well, we'll take a bottle. And they're like, Well, here, have another bottle. They were just like giving the champagne bottles away.

SPEAKER_00

Well, they knew.

SPEAKER_03

Right. And then it was the next day that like we saw it on the news or something, and we're like, they're like, Well, you're here, so you take it. The joke with our girl group was that we drank them out of champagne and they had to close their doors.

SPEAKER_00

You're the reason why they had to shut their doors a long time.

SPEAKER_03

It was ours.

SPEAKER_00

I would say you you do so many like girl things.

SPEAKER_03

I think mine's out. That is I think mine's out.

SPEAKER_00

SPEAKER_03

But I do a lot of girl things.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah, like women, women getting together doing fucking mimosas and shit. That is that seems very American. Yeah. That seems like Mar Lago.
