They're not as impossible, but they're big hills. But we're not there. We're in a man-made lake. And we call it the Resent Rivera. And basically, as you can see from our attire, we are in the lap of luxury. They're so comfortable though. You have not gotten yourself one from your local Ross or whatever Ross like stories.

SPEAKER_05So if people are like, here's this really big office space, then you can do this over here. Oh, I totally like this over here.
SPEAKER_03Yeah, you gotta put it over there for me to see it. Then have to sit with it to see if I even want it up. Yeah. But like if it drives people in my life crazy because they're like, let's go ahead and rearrange it. So I want to take this couch and put it here. I'm like, then you actually have to do that.
SPEAKER_00Yes.
SPEAKER_03Because I can't picture it.
SPEAKER_01No.
SPEAKER_03I don't even understand like the miniatures. Scott made a miniature once. Once. Once he saw how uneffective it was. And then I had my chat DB to do it one time too from my office. Yeah. And I couldn't read it. It was like wall. And I'm like, by the way, this whatever is in front of me is always north. Oh. And whatever's behind me is always south. I have and whatever's value is always west, and that's always east. It doesn't matter. This is how it's in my brain. So I have a really cool hidden talent. I used to be really good at it. Now I don't know if I'm fucking Moana. I'm definitely not fucking Moana. Thank you.
SPEAKER_02You can drop me anywhere. Well, that's crazy. Give me a minute and I can play north.
SPEAKER_03I can too. It's always right in front of me. That's what's so fascinating about it. But if you drop me off, well, as you will recall earlier, I couldn't even figure out how to get back home. See, Red Mag Raviera. They just uh we don't make this shut up. Uh yeah.
SPEAKER_07Look at the entire coast of California.
SPEAKER_03More shoreline on is in California supposed to rest up.
SPEAKER_07This is another place we can miss about everything range with the world pass, but yeah, it's a condo.
SPEAKER_03That's all true, yeah.
SPEAKER_07Wow. Yeah, you put that in your picture.
SPEAKER_03The locals are poor, except for a handful, and they're the builders. And then yeah.
unknownYeah.
SPEAKER_03Five million ish people. A place of twelve hundred turns into a place of five million. Oh my god. I can't even imagine. Okay, you don't think that's a lot of people They're not all there at once. It's like coming, you know, in waves. That's still enough. That's a lot of people. It was really cool whenever they would come through.
SPEAKER_01I don't want to go with DC.
SPEAKER_03Because then you don't have to worry about anything awkward. You know?
SPEAKER_01Mm-hmm.
SPEAKER_03Because you were never gonna see them again. That's true. Our neighbors are like doing crimes. Take their take the shoes if we're in the house. Don't know if you guys can hear that. It seems as though there's on my volume bar you might be able to.
SPEAKER_06It's just a conversation.
SPEAKER_03Okay, so this is Marty's wife. I want to call her Samantha. Marty was very excited about it. Orbs Laura. I can't think of her name right now.
SPEAKER_01I dropped on her side.
SPEAKER_03I don't like the way that she drops. The voice or the Yes. She overenunciates. Yes.
SPEAKER_07Sure. She has survived.
SPEAKER_03Wendy. Marty's wife. And then the son is Jonah. That's her doctor. I am not calling that.
SPEAKER_06Why are you not expecting Charlie gets any dog at all? Charlotte.
SPEAKER_03Shit.
SPEAKER_06Charlotte.
SPEAKER_03So I would never let my kids say that to me. And then I'm definitely not giving any money to period. So I'm really bad. Like I'm the no parent. So my kids will come to me and be like, Can we have this? I'm like, no. We'll figure out a way if it's something that like they need. Right. But I'm very much the no parent. And my partner is the yes parent. Yeah, though. Totally.
SPEAKER_01If they want money. Do you think that they want to borrow some besties? I think they have too many besties over there already.
SPEAKER_03They're doing intense friendship. Crimes. Tomato tomato. Um more with the corn. He can't stop. I don't get this. Like that this is a thing I don't understand. Casual viewing, random viewing, viewing in close proximity to other humans. Well, and I tell people like you and the people in your relationship, consenting adults. Right? Oh, that's at home video. That's his friend. Oh, that's his friend with her? Oh, no, that's his um, oh, that's her with somebody. With him? Oh. I forgot it's not his hers best friend, but it's somebody. No, but as long as y'all are consenting adults, whoever is in the relationship gets to decide what's okay and what's not. I agree totally. As long as it's legal and with consenting adults. Absolutely. So if you want to be, or if you are polyamorous, that's great. Everybody you're in a relationship of any kind of romantic dating partnership needs to be at work and on the same page. And fine with them. Oh, absolutely. If you and your partner want to watch corn, if you want to, if your partner wants to, talk about it, get on the same page, as long as y'all are consenting adults watching corn for from consenting adults. Like people think that it's cheating. I'm like most not. That's why like why would you not talk to your partner about it? Because it's nobody's business what you do. It has nothing to do with them. Well, I mean I imagine that a lot of people use it for foreplay. Oh. Yeah. Yeah. Foreplay. Well, and that's it. But that's like that's totally that's totally different. This is just like if I if that's something I want to watch, it has nothing to do with you. That's true. Yeah. I'm like big on privacy. I could not tell. I don't think that it's anybody's business. Like, you don't own me. And when people are very rigid about it, I mean I don't care because I'm not in a relationship with them, but I I could give two shits. I mean, unless it was like problematic shit, like you you were compulsively consuming this and like paying and talking and like various levels of like participation. Yeah. But just the simple act of viewership, as long as it wasn't some weird ass shit, I why would I fucking care what you're doing? I even if you are my partner, like I'm not gonna ask because I literally do not care. That is between you and your body. Which has nothing to do with me. That's true. But that's just mine. There are other people that if I've said that, some of these people you know thought that I was absolutely gotcha crazy. But one thing I will tell you is that people on the spectrum do not experience a lot of like jealousy and like intimate relationships, and you don't tell a whole lot of difference between a friendship and a relationship. Like they're they blend, they blend in. So it ha it's behind the scene worse. Yes. So it's more like like why would I tell somebody what to do? Why like I wouldn't tell you what to do?
SPEAKER_01Yeah. That makes sense.
SPEAKER_03Oh, he's with a hooker. And sorry, not a hooker, a sex worker.
SPEAKER_05And I'm always wondering about and like right now, they're getting pretty close and personal.
SPEAKER_03But I've seen interviews where Jason Bateman has talked about things and where other people have talked about working with him, he is a germophobe. Like big time germaphobe. Wow. If you are in a hotel and you are walking around to work barefoot, number one, that's not okay. Uh oh. But if you are wearing socks, you cannot put your feet on the bed like at all. Like shit like that. Wow. So it makes me wonder when like he's got somebody on his face. Could be second ask. Well, it's like that Kanye video in the deposition where they make him turn off this cloth and then he puts on a mask, and they were like, take off the mask, Kanye. Mr. West, and he was like, You do not have the right to see my face. And then his lawyer's like, Kanye. And he was like, I'm not your slave. And they do have to at some point break because they are actually trying to figure out if it is part of the law, but they can't don't actually have to see his face.
SPEAKER_01Oh my god. It's like an elaborate mask. Like it's not even just like a hood, it's a fucking mouse. Oh that's awesome. Yeah, let me. That's what he's got going on.
SPEAKER_03Except masks for your feet.
SPEAKER_06Wearing my socks.
SPEAKER_03Well, damn it, now I get all gross. Like, oh, you're barefoot. I was barefoot earlier. But I took, I took. Oh yeah. Like I you know what I ordered the other day off TMO? Huh? I got them in three different sizes because hope me and me and the kids are gonna be hanging out in them, but they're like sensory suits like this.
SPEAKER_04Yeah, but you zip yourself in them, and you're like in them. I have we have one. What?
SPEAKER_03Or my middle child. Yes, we have one. So I bought one for the three of us to hang out with. Yes. Because my kids, yeah, like we're like the same. Yeah, like we all have weighted blankets, except for my husband, who thinks that it's bizarre. He's like, mine's the heaviest one that you can find. I have a 40-pound weighted blanket. Uh-huh. And my kids are like one's 20, and then the other one is like 13 pounds. Uh, they can't sleep without one. Uh-huh.
SPEAKER_01And so when we go on vacations and stuff, we motherfucking blankets. Thirst I get 100 pounds of weighted blank because you motherfuckers can't sleep. And you don't know what's gonna pin a pinion because we can't go to sleep with all the light noise. Like when we go to high school, it looks so ridiculous.
SPEAKER_04So I remember.
SPEAKER_03Okay. So we still joke about this.
SPEAKER_04I had a group of friends, they were my teammates at when we were in college. Reba McIntyre in George Street. And Reba was playing at um it was in Omaha, it was the pro rodeo.
SPEAKER_03PBR. PBR, yeah. So it was a rodeo, and then she was performing. So we all went out there. Well, yeah. We got tickets. Well, yeah.
SPEAKER_05We were staying at the Devil Tree because it was like right across the alley from the place.
unknownOkay.
SPEAKER_03So we college students come walking in with our cooler that has duct tape on it. Yes. Carrying Walmart sacks. As one does. And they were having a wedding in the lobby.
SPEAKER_04We went to check in, and there were so many people walking around that one of my friends was so anxious that we would never get on an elevator to go up. Well, I mean, like, because there were like really long lines or whatever.
SPEAKER_03So she got up and she got up to front and like was holding the door. Because she thought that we were coming. Except, like people talk to me. And I talk back to people. We've got a couple of friends like that. So myself and another friend got in a conversation with a guest at the wedding or whatever. So my friend is sitting on a cooler that is like kept together by duct tape with like Walmart bags.
SPEAKER_04Yes. And the lobby doors just keep hitting the cooler.
SPEAKER_03It's like danger. And it was wedding bells. It was wedding bells. It was pretty funny. That is moss. It was one of the best uh concerts. Well, I can ever imagine. I've seen George, I've never seen Reba the Queen. I've seen each of them numerous times. I love that. I've seen George straight twice. I've seen him a whole lot more than that, but I don't remember.
SPEAKER_06Oh ten years. That's right. I don't think you've done here's I've seen them.
SPEAKER_03I've seen Insane. I've seen Destiny's Child. And Columbia. Wow. They were like close. It's a good one. I love potteries. I love building.
unknownYeah.
SPEAKER_03That was sweet chen music with a 45. So that's the cartel. Oh. So yeah, they're financiers, they run their laundering money for the cartel and that buildings. That's his friend? Yeah. Is this their new business? Well, this it so they are being told that they're gonna that they're aware of this next big move and they're they're being shaken down. The cartel shaking them down? Yes. Like you're because they've heard they're about to pull out. Well, they're making a lot of money, so they're just like collecting on all of their stuff, and somebody crossed somebody, and so I can't remember what that part was about, but they had to pick somebody to shoot and they shot bro. What bro? Um, I think it was like one of the accountants. Oh, okay. Or maybe it's a spots run. I don't think it's a spots run right now. But no, so yeah, his wife is having an affair on him. His kids are assholes. He is in like he's in deep. Yeah. I think they're gonna kill that guy. I'm so anxious he's gonna like just try and do it. Yeah, I don't remember who they are. Alright, so there's a friend. And he just killed his dad. No, that kid's dad. That kid's dad. Yeah, this is definitely uh a departure from our normal shows that we watch.
SPEAKER_01Yeah.
SPEAKER_03Turn that phone on so I don't die.
SPEAKER_01Oh, you're depressed. Why don't you just smile more? Have you tried opposite action?
SPEAKER_03Have you tried pretending what's the worst that can happen? If you had a magic wand, where do you feel that in your body when he shoots them? When you think about that. Spoilers. Oh, it's super intense. Like I did not like the show. You didn't? No.
SPEAKER_01Why did you say that's a lot?
SPEAKER_03Because we're in the it's because it can only happen one time. No, yeah, buddy. No. So his friend was the one who was in with the cartel? Yeah. And he didn't know. I think he knew. Yeah. So he knows his wife? No. Is that him in the video? No. Oh but it's another man. But no, he's in it. He's in it. He's dirty all the way. But he's in that his wife doesn't know. Yeah.
SPEAKER_06Oh my gosh.
SPEAKER_03But he's become aware through those videos that he's we were watching that were homemade corn, that it was his wife, and I believe their personal lawyer or personal account. I can't remember. What's you? And yeah, when so when the first episode came on, I think most people who are from this area turned in because I tuned in and I remember all of us texting our social media talking about it. Um and after the first episode, I would say like a solid 50% of the people that like I lived with played around with no from this area immediately stopped watching it. After the first episode? Yeah. Like once we were aware that it really had nothing to do with oh and nothing was very what nothing was accurate. Like like they only filmed like openings and closing and a handful of things they did not film here much at all. Oh okay. And they think that they filmed a lot of it somewhere on the somewhere on the east coast. Like I'm gonna say like North Carolina, like something with like a lot of like coastline or something like that. Like that was the coastline. Um yeah, like where they did shoot down here was that was the place that we were talking about last night where if you could just make it down there, you would be safe. And he stayed at the lap of the four seasons down there. Oh and my friends were in the service industry said that him, that guy, that he is like the nicest guy ever. The older guy? No, no, no, no. The Jason Bateman. Jason Bateman. Yeah, that he was like genuinely when he was here engaged with people and was like talking with them, super, super approachable. I love that, like went in like completely with like no bodyguards, whatever, like no entourage, and was just like in stores, in restaurants, just like doing things and like not pretentious or anything like that. So I think you know, most of the people who would watch this, these are people who are like do like a certain kind of genre, and it's that you know, intense. Oh it's a much faster breaking bad. Like that's kind of what I would put it, like breaking bad super slow. This is like much faster. I did not ever see breaking bad. I did against Smilo. Oh, okay. There's a lot of shows that I missed.
SPEAKER_01Oh that's sweet.
SPEAKER_03Does she have a movie where she's like an alien or something? There's an alien in her body. I don't know. She is in love, actually. Her brother is the one that's in the psychware or whatever. Oh, yay! She is a love, actually. That's her brother, and she's going out trying to go out with a hot guy, super hot guy at the office. She's like younger. Yeah. Oh gosh. Her name's Laura Lennay. Oh, okay. I like her in other stuff, but whenever that accent, I don't know Chicago accents. I've never been to Chicago. I've been a lot of places up in Baker's Fiddle, but I ain't never been to Chicago. Um, but I don't know if that's a Chicago accent. I don't know what they sound like, but I don't like the I don't like that hyper enunciation. It's what you could tell. It's like I like this, I like I like my words to slip and slide. I'm only gonna accentuate the articulation because I'm drawing attention to something to make it funny. That's or if I'm being very, very, very, very serious. You do that all the time with me. Do I super hyper articulate? No, I thought you were talking about the slipping and sliding. No, language. No, no, I do that. No, I no, that's what I'm saying. Like, that's my preference. I don't like that. Um I guess it's proper. It's sharp and it and it doesn't it I feel like I'm I talk in cursive. Oh yeah. I was gonna say, it makes me think of like for some reason, like Connecticut, yeah, wealthy leaders. Yes, that's what it makes me think of. Yeah, but and we don't know anything about Martha's Vineyard. Yeah, like I think that's what her character. But also, I don't I don't know.
SPEAKER_01Uh-huh.
SPEAKER_03I have a hard time accent about ICU makes it very hard for me to be a rap person. Really? I don't like those heavy bot Boston accents. Oh. Alright. In my ears. Like that whole movie Ted. Like that's just the only thing that I can watch because they make it they're making fun of it. Oh. Yeah. Um I love hearing accents. And I start to pick them up. Me too. And and and I'm not trying to make fun of them. It just has sense.
SPEAKER_02Somebody told me that it's a sign that you have an empathic brain or empathetic brain.
SPEAKER_03Because what? Because you are automatically adopting traits. Like you're mirroring them automatically. No, more like I'm making you more familiar to me. Um well, you know, empathetic people do before mirror neurons. That's true. I like neurobiology. I think that it's about shit that psychiatrists never ever look at the thing but they work on. Yes. If I break my leg and you don't look at my leg, what are we doing? Yes. I will take my meds in the morning. But I lost my psychiatrist. Shout out Dr. Hamid.
SPEAKER_01You keep me good.
SPEAKER_03But we gotta take away the stigma. Do you wanna try some lotion? Is it water? No. Okay, you probably won't like it as well. Somebody came to drop um spell in bottom horse to meet with me to teach me about the photon that they have. To Nyanta smells like no. She brought a gift at Christmas time. Yeah. And this was in it, and I'm kind of obsessed. Uh-huh. I get my mama drives and so do I. Mine like cracks. I hydrate like sort of all the time. And they will be all like, oh my dehydrate. Do you know how much I drink?
SPEAKER_06To the FDIC. Okay.
SPEAKER_03So yeah, like he's now being told what he's gonna do. And basically, he's gotta figure out some complex banking things and how to get past things with the government so that they can make this big move to like a VS Arcs. There's gonna be a new venture altogether where they're going to basically be laundering large sums of money for the cartel. Okay. Because they've got him they've got him good. The firm no longer design. Like he's going out of business. Okay. All the way to I have a feeling that if somebody shot you in front of me, like I'm not gonna just go back to the office. Call me Tracy. That's the dude in the video. Oh. And I think that they serve. Possibly. But they are they are fully having ups or something. We're trying to figure out if that's uh one guy. That's in the stuff. I know that. The lake of the Ozarks. Uh-huh. Is that not what it was? Is that not what I was doing? Okay. It's true. Camouflage is a primary color. That's why in my one of my videos I'm wearing it. And that's my mic is camouflage. That is camouflage for tigers. I feel camouflaged. This is camouflage. It's Erica. Wants me to die.
SPEAKER_01They only had two at Ross's. No, this is funny. And of course I had to have the tiger. This look. This is not sets. Nobody can find me. You can't see that's pork so much. That is not my favorite. You do it for the protein.
SPEAKER_03Yeah.
SPEAKER_07Oh. That's my sister body.
SPEAKER_03That's the whole thing. Sparkly yogurt. Ooh. Sparkly Greek yogurt.
SPEAKER_01Exactly. Sparkly yogurt. No.
SPEAKER_03Um what? Why? I thought, well, it was like sparkly. And I really like her. Like when I stop drinking pop. It's so weird that you say pop. It's so weird that you don't. I did not believe last night. When we went out to dinner at that restaurant, that was very good. The waitress came over the reserve to ask if we wanted grace. And I was like, Do y'all have pop? It kind of looked at me and she was like, Yes. But what I meant to ask was like, Do you have Coke? Do you have Dr. Pepper? Is it Petsy? Like, all right, so let's express. So when I moved up here all together, I was very confused because how it works in the movie in the South is everything's a Coke.
unknownYeah.
SPEAKER_03And then you have to ask what kind of Coke. Yep. You gotta Coke Coke, you got a Diet Coke, you got a Sprite Coke, you got a Dr. Pepper Coke. Yep. Okay. Yep. The only designation is tea. Tea and coffee. That is not Coke. Sweet tea or unsweetened? Always sweet. I like sweet. And uh in the salads like a son. Nobody drinks. Nobody drinks. I play a game and they have um iced tea in the game, and it always makes me crave unsweetened tea. I don't like it. I don't trust people like those. Like what tea alone? Yeah. It's gotta have like two tiny cups of coffee sugar in it, and it's gotta be like dark like coffee. My grandma would like boil that tea up and it would be dark. She had like a lot of tea bags, and then like I would see her dump the sugar and I'm like Yes. I can't imagine why we all got the diabetes. And I was once. Not once. We never ever could understand that. But so when I moved to Missouri, I heard soda. That's what they say around here. They say soda. You want a soda? You want to pop. So I have noticed that m a lot of people that are in the north say pop. And in like heavy accent. Like I think about like people with like Minnesota. You want to pop? You know, like, but it is weird, like regionally where you go, um what they call it, yeah. Her cheating ass boyfriend just got thrown out. Yeah. That's the boyfriend? Yes. Oh yes. And he just died right in front of Marty. Did she throw him? Oh, I don't remember. I think it had something to do with the cartel. Probably. I don't even know what the cartel is. Is it like like it's just like a series of organized crime or is it's just drugs? What are we what is what is the cartel? I'm pretty sure it is essentially like gangs. Gangs here. But not like mobs. Not like a mafia. I don't know. Yeah.
SPEAKER_02I was gonna say, I think it is a big connection of gangs. Like how we say gangs, and then it's like floods, correct?
SPEAKER_03Like, I feel like the cartel.
unknownWhat?
SPEAKER_03And then I don't know if they have separate ones inside. Like little mini cartels. See now if they're with their wife.
