So before we start the show, I wanted to take this time to extend my deepest gratitude for those who have given the ultimate sacrifice to all of our armed service men and women from all walks of life, some just 18 years old, answering the call to serve and protect this great nation. It is a call most people won't serve, but we have those brave ones to thank and there aren't words strong enough or good enough to articulate my thanks. Thank you does not feel like it is good enough. And Memorial Day is not just a long weekend. It is not just a day for barbecues and beers. It is a somber reminder of those who have laid their lives down to defend the interests of this country abroad and to protect our freedoms here at home. Freedom is not Free. But how lucky are we to have the freedom of speech, the freedom to defend ourselves, the freedom to live out our American dreams however we see fit. And I know Memorial Day is for those who gave everything, but I would be remiss if I didn't acknowledge those in the chat, watching or listening right now who have served and were willing to give everything as well. My grandfather served in the Navy. I have family members, colleagues, friends, all who have served in one way or another, some who are active duty right now. I think about all the people I don't know personally. I think about their families and their sacrifices. Moving, worrying, moving again. Missing loved ones or having to bury them. We would not be the greatest country in the world without all of you. And I am beyond grateful to be living in it. So God bless the United States of America and happy Memorial Day. I hope everyone safely celebrates and most importantly, remembers the heroic patriots who made it all possible. And on that note, put your phones on. Do not disturb. The show starts now. Foreign. We are doing a super scroll today. I did scrolling time yesterday, but I had a scrolling time plan for Monday. Didn't get to it. Tuesday, didn't get to it. Wednesday, didn't get to it. So these are some of those videos. And the first one, this person claims that they are eating in a restaurant and they were segregated into a different section of the restaurant based on their skin color. Watch. So me and my mom are out to eat right now. And if you look around the restaurant, there's a lot of faces that don't look like mine.
- [04:08]
B
But what you will notice that they
- [04:10]
A
put all of the black people 1,
- [04:13]
B
2, 3 tables all in this little corner together right by the pictures of the cotton that I've never actually noticed before. This is my first time ever noticing it being cotton in the corner. Yeah, this is my first time. But yeah, all the people spread out. They put all the in the corner by the kind. That's crazy
- [04:34]
A
when seeing that. Do you think that there's any truth to this? I feel when I see that there are just people sitting in sections regardless of skin color. I think it's because the weight. And I've never been part of wait staff. I've never worked at a restaurant before, so I don't know. I've never been a hostess. I feel like they get sat in certain sections based on who's working and who's, you know, available to wait those tables. I, I would not believe that this is based on race whatsoever. If anything, it's probably a, a coincidence, but it's like they're so close to the other. They're acting like there's like a wall in between them or something there. They're always in the same, like, open space restaurant. I feel like this is people searching for things to be wrong. They are searching to be victims. They are searching to go viral on social media. Oh, let me take this. Oh, I just happened to notice that there's another black family sitting right there and right there. Let me film this on social media. It'll go viral. And it did. And here I am covering it on the show. I'm part of the problem. But I just see this and I'm thinking to myself, this is purposeful. It's purposeful to go viral on social media. It is purposeful to send this victim mentality message to everyone. I'm sure other black people maybe see this video and they're thinking, oh, yeah, absolutely. And other people are, you know, they're in agreement with this. But I just. I can't see this being real. I just. I just don't think that there's any truth to this. Just ridiculous. All right, next video. This is what happens when mom leaves your baby behind with the woke babysitter. Watch. Okay, bye, mama. See ya. Have fun. Can you say acab? A cab? Can you say sees the means of production?
- [06:21]
C
Yeah, Billionaires shouldn't exist.
- [06:24]
A
Billionaires.
- [06:26]
C
Yeah, he's a eat the rich. Can you say eat the rich?
- [06:30]
D
No.
- [06:31]
A
Wow.
- [06:32]
E
She won't say it.
- [06:33]
A
Canceled. Obviously joking. Here. I'm not going to take this too, too seriously. However, having a baby, say acab, which stands for all caught. All cops are bastards. Really? Do we need to be. Do we need to be instilling this in. In our young people? No, we do not need to. Need to be doing this. What about ABCs? What about. Can you say dog? Can you say cat? Like, what happened to that? What happened to that? Why are we. Can you say, seize the means of production? Can you say, billionaires don't exist? The kid's like, what? Like, even the kid knows she's absolutely nuts. People in the chat say, I disagree. Take her children. I don't think that that's what's happening here. Disgusting. What a super mom. I think that this is just. This is someone's. If I had to guess, this is someone's sister babysitting that. If I had to guess. Stop brainwashing. Stop grooming. Stop indoctrinating. Using kids as a pawns to revive. Yeah. It's just. What a horrible mother. I don't think it's the mother. I think that this is, this is someone's sister, like playing a joke, but still very scary because this might. This person might be joking, but there are others out there that are certainly taking this very seriously and not joking. So anyway, speaking of liberals, this one has had an awakening about Joe Rogan. Listen ish.
- [08:00]
D
Years ago, when I was very liberal, one of the people that I hated the most was Joe Rogan because I thought that he was like the icon of toxic masculinity. Even as recently as, like four years ago, I was still like, you can never trust a man who listens to the Joe Rogan experience. I knew all of this without ever having actually listened to Joe Rogan. I just took it on face value that he was this dangerous man full of misinformation. But I finally listened to Joe Rogan two years ago during my annual period of mourning for the loss of Anthony Bourdain. Granted, no one is out there hating on Joe Rogan for his conversation with Anthony Bourdain, but that was my personal jumping off point. I didn't become an avid listener then, and I'm not really an avid listener now. I'll listen if I find the guest interesting or sometimes I'll go back to. To some of his more controversial episodes to hear for myself in the context of the three hour conversation, what everyone is so mad at him for. But I have since come to believe that blindly hating on Joe Rogan is low IQ behavior that signals that you have a very low degree of curiosity about the world around you.
- [09:01]
A
Yes. Okay. So this woman, you know, I always appreciate when someone has an awakening, that moment of realization like, ooh, I was peddling this misinformation. I was sold this narrative. And I realize now that that was all a lie. I appreciate that. So let's not all, you know, jump on her and, and all that. But I will say it's very disheartening to hear about a lot of these people. And I'm sure there are people on the right too, but people who are just sold a narrative and they buy it hook, line and sinker. There's no to her point, no independent thought, no research, no let. Well, let me watch this and see if it's really a problem. Right? And you know, Joe Rogan is one of these podcasts that is sort of the spokesperson for the manosphere. That's where he's sort of become to the left. And what is so dangerous about Joe Rogan? I don't know why his podcast episodes Talking about aliens have become so dangerous, according to the left. And to her point about, like, I don't watch every episode of Joe Rogan. I don't have enough hours in the day to watch that much content. So to her point, I think a lot of people just tune in when it's a guest that they like. And certainly if there's, you know, anytime Elon Musk is on or when Donald Trump was on, okay, I'm going to tune in for that, because obviously, for my purposes, I need to know what these people are saying so that I can cover it on my show. But even if there's a. Not a politician, but a comedian that I like on Joe Rogan, I'll watch it. Or if it's a topic that is of interest to me, I. I'll watch it. Especially during COVID when he was sort of interviewing a lot of these vaccine skeptics and things like that. I. Those are the ones that I'm interested in. So that's when I'll tune into an episode. And I. I don't think I've listened to a Joe Rogan episode since Trump was on or maybe Cash was on.
- [11:00]
F
It's definitely. If it's somebody you like, then you're, like, tuning in. They're so long.
- [11:04]
A
They're conversation.
- [11:05]
F
I mean, they're like three hours for four hours.
- [11:07]
A
Yeah. Someone in the chat just said, I see clips. Not really into him. Yeah. So my thing is, if you like Joe Rogan, you're not even watching Joe Rogan all day, every day. You would have absolutely no life. Like, I. Is there someone out there that watches every episode every day?
- [11:22]
F
There's got to be, like, one guy,
- [11:24]
A
maybe like someone who listens to podcasts at work or something. I could see that. Okay. They look forward to it. There's. This is, like three hours out of my workday where I could just put this on and not touch my phone or something. I could see that. But to this point, it's a lot of content. So is all the content hateful? No, you can't. You wouldn't be. No. And so also, even if you did your independent research into Joe Rogan, if you watched one episode, like, that's not even enough. I mean, every episode, I feel like, is so different. But it was so easy for the left to just blindly paint him with one brushstroke. Oh. As this dangerous misinformation, toxic masculinity. And none of his episodes are like that at all. He's not at all like Andrew Tate or like Clavicular or some of these other people that kind of push this toxic. I hate the word toxic masculinity. But, you know, I'm just saying what they say is toxic masculinity or these other manosphere guys. Like, I don't really listen to them, but Joe Rogan is really nothing like them. He does. He might have a conversation with them, but he's not. I mean, he questions everything. I feel like he's. He'll have people on that he agrees with, people that he disagrees with. He's changed his mind on things. So I can just appreciate Joe Rogan for that, you know, have. Open up the line of communication with the other side. He certainly does that. And I think maybe that's why the left hates him, because he was sort of left wing and then they felt like he jumped ship. But I never saw him like that. And, you know, I saw this other video on TikTok unrelated yesterday, and someone was saying, like, they're so disappointed. And I think it was Joe Rogan and Theo Vaughn, like, all these podcasters about, like, where they stand politically now. And it's like, why does anyone care what these people think about politically? Like, you're following Joe Rogan and Theo Vaughn to hear, like, you only listen to them because you agree with them politically. Like, that concept is so bizarre to me. Make up your own mind. Who cares if you disagree with them? Like, if you like them, them, who cares? I can listen to a ton of people that I disagree with, and I still like them. And I can. I could just separate their political views from mine, and I can still find them very funny. And I just think it's odd that people are, like, putting all of their, you know, eggs in the Theo Vaughn basket when it comes to, like, political ideology. Like, why would you even go to him for that anyway?
- [13:51]
F
Bring back mysterious celebrities. I don't need.
- [13:54]
A
I don't need to know what you think. Podcasts.
- [13:56]
F
I don't need to know what you think. I don't need to see your. I just want to see you in movies. I want you to be, like, kind of mysterious and a unicorn.
- [14:06]
A
I totally get that. And I. Yeah, I just. It just seems odd to me that anyone would. People put too much stock in podcasters, celebrities, things like that. Like, who cares what they think? And why. Why do you have to even know what they think about certain things? Like, you need a. You need to know what a comedian thinks about, like, the war in Iran. Like, why. You know what I mean? Like, why are you even looking to these people. And I think people put so much pressure on celebrities because they have this influence. But it's like, ask yourself why celebrities have influence in the first place, and why do you think that that influence is political? It just seems like anyone that gets involved in politics that isn't in the world of politics was bullied into doing it. And why would you want to listen to someone who was bullied into sharing their viewpoint on anything? That's not someone that you should listen to anyway. So I don't know. I just appreciated seeing this point where, you know, she was fed this lie about Joe Rogan for so many years. And then, you know, she listened to this one episode, and it's like, oh, that wasn't so bad. And, you know, independent thought, it's. It's a crazy drug. So happy for her. Now, this one, we're very excited about this video. We want to have a real deep dive about this video. And this is a longer video. It's a longer video. But just stick with me because we have to discuss this. This is a woman. She. And again, I. When I see someone taking their phone out and crying on the Internet, I am wary of being on that person's side. But let's hear her out. This is a woman crying after a hotel experience.
- [15:49]
C
Listen, we're out of town for the night. My boyfriend wanted to go to a concert. I went with him. I asked him to book, like, a way more expensive hotel than we would have gotten. And I was like, I'm not going to the hotel or I'm not going to the concert with you, because I picked a hotel with, like, a rooftop pool and Jacuzzi, and I'm just gonna stay in on Friday night and be at the pool and the Jacuzzi. And I went out there, and it was so nice. There were families with kids playing, playing. I even, like, when I was in the pool before I got in the Jacuzzi, I heard them being like, like, there's other people here. Don't splash. And I was like, hey, like, they're kids. Kids. Kids can splash and scream like, I'm in a pool. I'm in a public pool. And they seemed so relieved, and they were like, yeah. And, like, we chatted for a minute. Whatever. I was drinking my drink and being on my phone. And then I went to the Jacuzzi, and there were three adults in the Jacuzzi. Two there. I got in, and then another guy got in and, like, were barely interacting with each other. And I'm sure you can hear Them in the background. But I was sitting in the Jacuzzi and you just hear the door open and it is so loud. And there's like 40 kids out there right now. I'm not going to show them because that's insane behavior. Like, they're just children. But there's like, legit. I came up to my balcony and I counted because I can see and hear the pool even if the door is closed. And I could count 39. And I know there's like a row of chairs I can't see. And they had completely overtaken those chairs. So there's probably more over there. And I'm sitting in the Jacuzzi and I'm like, okay, it's kind of loud and annoying, but, like, we can move on. It's fine. I hang out in sports bars. I can handle some kids screaming in the pool. But then like, a kid got in the hot tub and then two more got in, and then two more got in and there's like, the guy left. Like, he just like, noped. Everybody's sitting on chairs. Like, there was a guy, like, drinking and vaping. There was a woman read. They all left before the kids could even make it to the pool. Like, the kids ran in and they were all like, bye. But I'm like, no, I booked this hotel for this. Like, I asked my boyfriend to spend the extra money on me getting this. And so I'm sitting in the hot tub and the kids are getting in, and they just keep, like, diving under the water and splashing and bumping into me. And the two other women that stayed were so unbothered. And they were talking earlier about how they're like teachers and. And so I'm like, okay. Like, I'm the problem, I guess. And I finally just, like, got sick of it. I kept looking at, like, the adults sitting in the chairs, and they're making eye contact with me and, like, looking at the kids and then just like, talking to each other. And I'm like, so you're not even gonna, like. Like, I'm not gonna talk to these strangers kids, like, they're not mine. And so I just got up and I left and I came to the room and I started crying and I can hear them screaming right outside. What do I do? Just get over it. Just get dressed and go to dinner and spend money when my plan was to just sit there and not money and be relaxed and feel okay. I don't know what a first world problem, but I just don't care.
- [18:50]
A
Okay, do we feel bad for her. I don't, I don't feel bad for her. Someone in the chat was like, why are you even playing this? Blah, blah. Because this video has hundreds of thousands of views on TikTok and people are roasting her. Roasting her. As they should. I can understand wanting to go on vacation without children. I can understand that. Go find a children, a child free hotel. Those exist. If you want a child free experience, you can do that. She did not. And now she's crying about it. You don't have the right to cry about it when you, you're expecting, you're in public and then you're mad that the public is in. The public.
- [19:34]
C
Laughs.
- [19:35]
A
She's crying that she's in, she's in public and other people were there.
- [19:40]
F
I feel for this girl, though.
- [19:41]
A
Okay, tell me your thoughts on this.
- [19:43]
F
Okay. As somebody. My wife and I travel quite a bit. We usually book adult only hotels. If we're going somewhere, can you put
- [19:53]
A
yourself on screen or no?
- [19:54]
F
No.
- [19:55]
A
Why? It's broken.
- [19:56]
F
We're still hot. We're still wiring in. We're doing. So we've had some studio upgrades. So we're, we're still working through some of the cable.
- [20:01]
A
Okay. This voice of God complaining. Okay, cool.
- [20:04]
F
Yeah. Anyway, so we'll go to the adults only. We've been to. There's a resort we go to quite often and we stayed on like the, the normal side and you know, next door were some wild kids on vacation. It was fine, you know, we learned. What are you going to do? So I feel for this girl, though, to think that, like, she's going to go have a really relaxing evening. I think reality sucks.
- [20:29]
A
But nonetheless, she did her research because she wanted to stay at a hotel that had a rooftop pool. She was so excited. She wanted go in the Jacuzzi. So you did enough research for that. And then you were pissed that there were other people at the rooftop pool. Go get an Airbnb then. I just, I don't feel bad for her. You did enough research to know that the hotel had these certain amenities that you wanted. If you didn't want kids there, go stay at a hotel that doesn't have kids.
- [20:57]
F
I will also say there are some hotels that when you're booking, you're going to think, hey, there probably aren't going to be as many kids at.
- [21:09]
A
That's the risk you take.
- [21:11]
F
Weston downtown, you know, with a, with like a very big vibe.
- [21:16]
A
That's the risk you take. That is the risk you take.
- [21:19]
F
But I do feel bad for this Girl.
- [21:20]
A
I don't. I think it's actually really bizarre that she asked her boyfriend to spend more money on a hotel so that he could go to a concert without her and she could stay behind and sit in the Jacuzzi. Why are you doing that? Separately, like, I think that's a weird
- [21:34]
F
red flag as somebody who listens to the worst music you've ever heard. My wife doesn't always like going to concerts with me, so I could see, like, maybe that she would probably bring, like, a. Like, meet some. A friend there or something like that. But I kind of get. I'm dying to know what the concert was now, that's for sure.
- [21:53]
A
Maybe if you've been dating for a longer period of time or you're married, then it's fine to, like, do your own thing. But I just feel like it's odd to go on vacation together and be like, okay, bye. I'm going to sit. You go to a concert and have fun, and I'm going to sit by the pool. I. Even if I didn't, like, you know, if I was dating someone and I didn't like their music, I would still want to go to the concert with them because it's like, oh, this is fun for them. And that makes me happy. But I don't know. I.
- [22:19]
F
Here's the deal. She's in the wrong for crying. She's in the wrong set. Immediately, do have empathy for her. As somebody who's been to, like, a resort and there's like, a kid, like, spraying you in the head with a water gun, and you're just like, dog.
- [22:32]
A
And that's annoying.
- [22:33]
F
Yeah.
- [22:33]
A
And even when I'm at the pool and I'm tanning or I'm working and I have my laptop out and kids are doing cannonballs, and then my laptop's wet. Am I thrilled? No. And I love kids, but kids can be very, very annoying. And unfortunately, parents these days don't really parent. So to her credit, I will say it was probably very annoying to sit in the hot tub and then have kids jump in the hot tub. And then she even said another adult that was trying to enjoy the hot tub had to get out. I get it. But I also think that this is parents needing to kind of read the room. And if you see that there's something to be said for kids being kids, like, if kids are laughing and they're playing in the pool and they're on vacation, like, what are you gonna do? What, are you gonna complain about it? You can't really. If the kids are taking it to the next level and being disrespectful, then I would expect the parents to step in. Do I expect parents these days to step in and do the right thing? No. Well, also, would I cry about it on the Internet also? No.
- [23:32]
F
Yeah. That's never. If you're ever feeling sad, crying into your phone is not, like, the correct answer, but, like, I guess another. Like what I said before. If I, if I go stay at a Disney resort and I'm complaining about kids, I'm a psychopath.
- [23:46]
A
Right.
- [23:46]
F
If I'm at, like, a Sandals Resort or that's not even a good. Because that's pretty family friendly, but like a nice hotel downtown. That's like, really, like, you know.
- [23:56]
A
Yeah. And something like that.
- [23:59]
F
I'd be disappointed as well.
- [24:00]
A
Someone in the chat said, children are like farts. You can only handle your own.
- [24:05]
F
That's pretty accurate, I guess.
- [24:08]
A
I don't know if we played the part in the video where she said she was expecting. She called down to the front desk and told.
- [24:15]
F
I took that out.
- [24:16]
A
Okay. I, I, it was a very long video. I know. And everyone in the chat was like, move on from this. Okay. In the video, though, she said, I called down to the front desk to tell them. Tell them what, girlfriend? That there are people in the pool that they like. They're paying guests that are in the pool. You can be annoyed, but also know that you're not in the right. When you complain externally, like, internally, you can be annoyed. Can you text your husband it? Like, I thought that I was going to have fun at the, at staying back at the hotel. Kids ruined it. Sure, you're allowed to complain, but you can't actually make a formal complaint. There's nothing to complain about. There are paying customers in the pool that they paid for. And then she says, like, it would have been really nice that they sent me, like, a drink or a free dessert. For what? For what? That's why I, I could not work in customer service. I could not work in the hospitality industry. I can't even answer people's questions on Instagram without. I get so mad. Like, I just get so, so mad at people.
- [25:20]
F
Maybe next time she'll go see Mumford and Sons or whatever.
- [25:23]
A
Yeah, maybe. Anyway, moving on. This is, this is actually in the same vein, kids being really annoying. This is a kid getting his head stuck in the banister and needing to call in for backup.
- [25:37]
F
Watch.
- [25:39]
A
Can you, can you see all of the policemen in the firemen or here to see you.
- [25:45]
F
Does anything hurt Buddy.
- [25:46]
A
And you just stop.
- [25:47]
C
So there's, you know, nothing hurts.
- [25:50]
A
All right, there's what, three mass. There's three firefighters. He's crying because his head's stuck in the dirt. Hello. Going to elbow grease your elbow to see you. Oh, my. Went to high school with my daughter. I know it hurt. Look who's here. You're safe. Okay. I have a lot of questions.
- [26:20]
F
Can you see the police officers? No. My head's stuck in the banister. I can't move.
- [26:26]
A
I do find it interesting how kids get themselves into these situations. Like, I'm not a parent. And I know that if you look away. Because I've babysat for years. If you look away for one second, a kid can really get into a lot of trouble. And it's exhausting. Like, you have to be on at all times. But these are the kinds of things, like, they don't prepare you for your kid getting the head stuck in the banister. I feel like when you're a parent, you teach your kids right from wrong and you think that some things are just. You wouldn't even think to say, you know, hey, don't put your head here. I remember when I was growing up, my mom and my dad, they would always say, if it's not meant for that, don't do it. Like, if the banister is not meant for putting your head through it, don't do it. That was like a pretty all encompassing rule in our household. If it's not meant for it, don't do it.
- [27:17]
F
A good one.
- [27:17]
A
Is the stove meant for touching? No. Is. You know, there's. It could be applied to a lot of different things. So if it's not meant for it, don't do it. And, yeah, I just think, get it. And then I'm. I'm looking at that video, and I'm not trying to shame this kid by any means. I'm just looking at the size of the banister and I'm looking at the size of his head. And I don't know how he got into that predicament in the first place.
- [27:41]
F
I was more focused at the police or firemen or whatever that team was. They didn't do anything. They just kind of pulled them apart, barely. And the kids slips.
- [27:48]
A
Yeah. Because I guess it's wood, so it can move a little bit. But then it's like, you got stuck in there. How do you not. How can you not get out? I guess he was scared.
- [27:57]
F
Yeah.
- [27:57]
A
And it's painful. I'm sure.
- [27:58]
F
One time my sister got her knee stuck in like a playground. Like, you know, like when you're up there and they've got like, you know, the railing and yeah, it was scary for a second, but we figured it out.
- [28:10]
A
Someone in the chat said, boys are like that. Let them do it and learn. And then someone else said, kids are gross. And I have five of them. Another thing that I wanted to talk about in this video too is the fact that his head is stuck. And they slide an Idol iPad underneath, like, his head. His head's stuck in the staircase. And they're like, here, put this iPad. Get this iPad in front of there so he can watch something.
- [28:33]
F
Hold on.
- [28:34]
A
Play the iPad. He's like watching cartoons.
- [28:42]
F
Does anything hurt, buddy? And you just.
- [28:44]
A
He's watching cartoons.
- [28:46]
F
Yeah, nothing hurts. All right.
- [28:49]
A
Okay, we're gonna get just like sobbing while watching Bluey or whatever they.
- [28:54]
C
They have on the iPad.
- [28:56]
A
So one of the chats that I've done that as a kid, but finally got it out. Good to know that you're not still stuck there. You could be. You could be just like this iPad kid watching, scrolling with Haley with your head stuck in the banister. And then someone said, careful with too much screen time. Yeah, this is the thing. It's like, it's a self soothing thing. Not even self soothing. It. Parents use the iPad and the screen as this, like immediate. Oh, if you're. If you're sad, go to the phone. If you're upset, if you're bored, if you're anything, the screen is the answer. And clearly, you know, you. Nothing's going to distract this kid from the fact that his head is stuck.
- [29:34]
F
I don't know. If he was watching Bluey, he probably wouldn't been putting his head through the banister.
- [29:38]
A
I don't know. This is. This just brings me back to the golden rule that I grew up with. If it's not meant for it, don't do it. It's pretty. It applies to everything. All right, this next one. This is a liberal who says that there is a link between fatphobia and colonization.
- [29:54]
G
Listen, you do not care about fat people's health. Stop fucking pretending like you do, okay? Because if you actually cared, then you would do research. You would learn about fatphobia, learn about colonization, learn about the history of why fatness is demonized in our culture. Look, have you never seen the statue of fertility? Have you never seen works of art throughout history?
- [30:30]
A
They weren't that fat.
- [30:33]
G
Me and my fat ass are gonna be over here looking hot as fuck and I'm healthier than you. That's what really bugs me, y'. All. You don't know how healthy I.
- [30:47]
A
You don't know how healthy I am, she says.
- [30:49]
F
I like that she threw her head so hard she had to do a big old sniffle to make sure she wasn't blowing boogers everywhere.
- [31:08]
A
I don't know why.
- [31:09]
C
That just, like, hit my funny phone a little bit.
- [31:14]
A
Yeah. There's a lot to unpack in this video. So my thing is, like, you don't know how healthy I am. I can look at you and know that you're unhealthy and, like, it's fine. I don't know why they insist on telling everyone that they're healthy. Like, just because you're not getting sick doesn't mean that you're healthy. Like, there could be a lot wrong with her body. I'm sure her joints are screaming at her.
- [31:39]
F
You know, if you're having to defend how healthy you are not in, like, a sports competition manner. Yeah, that's not a great place to begin, unfortunately.
- [31:49]
A
This is something. Yeah, this is something that you can tell that someone takes care of their body and their health just by looking at them for the most part. But she said there was this link between colonialism, which I don't really understand, and she's saying that, you know, fatness and, yes, being fat or fat, er, I would say used to be popular, you know, in the Marie Antoinette era, when, you know, fatter people were the wealthier ones because they had access to food. And if you were poor, you were very skinny. And I feel like the beauty standard has certainly changed over the years. Now we're getting a little too skinny. We're getting into the OIC era, where people are really looking very, very thin. And that has become the new beauty standard, which I talk about quite frequently. There's extremes to this, but, yeah, blaming colonization on being fat and blaming that on people not caring and doing enough research on fatness and fat phobia and the history of it. I actually don't care to learn about the history of fatness. I think that they. They should spend more time researching how to get healthy rather than researching how to justify your fatness. Imagine if they just spent that energy instead of justifying their fat body, but using that time and effort and energy and putting that into the gym. Imagine they'd probably be a lot less mentally ill as well. Now, this next woman, she says that all white women automatically voted for Trump, or so she says.
- [33:20]
B
Listen, if I see a white woman, I immediately assume she voted for the dollar Tree dictator. I'm sorry, I'm sorry. But I also take a pause. I look at how she presents herself. I see how she's talking. However, I'm smart enough to know that all white women did not or could not have supported the dollar tree dictator and his administration. So what do I do? I look at visual identifiers and then I find my alabaster disasters. Yes, my alabaster disasters. And I'm going to do. What I'm going to do right now is give you some visual identifiers to let me know if you're safe or not. Here we go. Like, if your outfit looks like it came from a gift shop, I can't explain it. I can't explain it if, like your everyday, everyday wear looks like you shop in gift shops, in like, hotels, you know, casinos, like all of that. If you always wear a lightweight cardigan, like for everywhere, all the time. No, I can't. You're not safe. I'm sorry,
- [34:25]
A
do I look like I get dressed in a gift shop? I don't think so. I don't know any other MAGA women. I don't even really know what that means. And I don't bring a lightweight cardigan. So her MAGA identifiers, her MAGA presenting identifiers are off, certainly. And I think that this is really weird behavior. People who do this are really weird. If you look at someone and your immediate reaction, your knee jerk reaction is to try to pin them to a certain political party is weird before meeting them, that's weird. Trying to sift people out and organize them. It's very weird. Okay. When I meet someone, I don't think about their political affiliation. When I see them, I don't. Maybe that's something that comes up in conversation later. But that's not a necessity for me. I have friends who are liberals. I don't mind being around liberals. Like we can have normal conversations. Most normal people on both sides of the aisle are not like this. This is more of an extreme, I would say. And I just. The only time I would see someone out in public and think about their political affiliation is if they're wearing some kind of merch, like a MAGA hat, or if they're wearing a mask alone in their car. Then I immediately know because you're telling me. But I'm not thinking, oh, I wonder what this person is. Or I'm trying to, like, put them in a box, a political box, before I even get to know them. Very strange. Very, very strange. And speaking of this is liberal Women there, they have a problem now with married women taking the names of their husbands. And this is a online conversation and a debate that is reaching a fever pitch, if you will. This is the topic of conversation online. Women are saying that it's anti feminist to take your husband's last name. So some women are saying that they want to for certain reasons. This woman is upset that women are still taking their husband's last name in marriage. Listen, I can't think of a single
- [36:32]
E
good reason to take a man's last name. There is like zero defense in my mind for it to have any reason that you should be doing it except for patriarchy. And before you say, I want my family to all have the same last name, then why doesn't he do it? Then why has he never thought for a single moment or second in his life about taking your last name? Why does anyone have to give up any aspect of their identity in order to be a family? My mom didn't change her last name. None of my mom's sisters changed their last names. Guess what a difficulty it was for our family?
- [37:07]
C
Zero.
- [37:07]
E
It didn't make any difference. It was never a problem. One day in our lives. I never felt any less connected to my mother because we didn't have the same last name. And the stupidest argument I see in defense of this is like, well, your last name's just your dad's last name. You're still taking a man's last name. No, it's my last name, actually. And also, like, okay, so you'd rather have your husband's dad's last name than your dad's last name. Like, that doesn't make any sense.
- [37:39]
A
Okay, I have thoughts on this. I will absolutely be taking the last name of my husband whenever I get married. If I get married. I just think it's traditional. That's what I want to do. I want, you know, my future kids to have. I want us to all have the same last name. Now, I have a lot of friends who are married and it is a pain in the neck to get your name changed. And anyone who has changed their last name knows this. For certain people, it is worth the headache. For other people, it is not. I can imagine. And based on what my friends have told me, it is a pain in the neck. You go try to get your. Your phone change and you go to Verizon. It's like, oh, well, you're not on the account because you have a different last name. And there are a lot of headaches. And it's like, Certain things that you forget. Like, you essentially have to. You know, it's an upheaval of your entire life. Like, you've got to do it with the bank, you've got to do it with the state. You've got to do it. Like, it's a lot. And for some women, it's just not worth the hassle. And for that, like, I don't care. You could do whatever you want. I've given you my take on what I plan on doing, but I don't shame other people. I don't care. If you don't want to change your last name, don't. I don't care. And a lot of my friends didn't go through the actual changing of their last name, but socially they change it. Like, their last name is different on social media. Their last name is different. Like, their kids will have their husband's last name. They will just go by that last name. But they didn't go through the, you know, heavy lifting of actually changing it. I wonder if they'll change their minds when they have kids. But I do have one friend who has kids, and she didn't change her name because she has a PhD and in her business, like, it's all her last name. So she was like, I'm just keeping it all the same. And then someone in the chat said, and then people won't butcher your last name. Unless I marry someone who has a crazy last name as well. Then I have. I have. There's a 50, 50 shot. I get a. An easier last name or a harder last name or as hard. And that's just the way the cookie crumbles. I don't know.
- [39:56]
F
Maybe you'll get Smith.
- [39:57]
A
I would be great. And I was thinking about this, too. Like, now that I'm sort of in the public eye, if I ever did get married and change my last name, I would never tell people my last name, my actual last name, my new last name. I would never, ever do that. Because I would do that as a protective measure for not only my husband, but my family and my future children. Like, I don't want people looking them up. I don't want people knowing that they're associated with me. No. So if I do get married, that will certainly be, like, a protective thing that I do. What do you know? Because you're married and you have friends that are married, I'm assuming, like, what have people done?
- [40:39]
F
So changing your last name is insanely difficult. Like, there's just. It's a lot, like the. At least with my Wife, like, the amount of stuff we had to change, and then, you know. Yeah, it's just a lot. So I feel for the ladies who do it. Yeah, I very much appreciate that. She did. Yeah, it's great.
- [41:00]
A
Like, would you be offended if she didn't?
- [41:03]
F
Yes.
- [41:04]
A
I think a lot of guys do that or feel that way, especially because of the tradition of it. I did see some woman in the comments say, I asked my husband, would you change your last name to mine? And he said, no. So then she said, okay, so then I'm not changing mine.
- [41:22]
F
My. My poor wife, like. And it felt like every time she went to go do something to change her last name, something wacky and zany happened. Like, she went to the DMV and there were. They had, like, a fire. So, like, she had to go, like, stand outside the fire.
- [41:37]
A
It was like, everything is stacked against
- [41:39]
F
the tsa and they. They didn't. She took, like, a copy of our marriage license, not the real one. And they were like, yeah, that's forged. And she was like, I'm just a girl.
- [41:49]
A
Well, this is. This is the argument that the left is trying to say is the reason why women can't bring their IDs to the polls. Because if they've gotten married and changed or they're in the process of changing their last name, then they wouldn't be able to go show their ID to go vote. My argument is it is a pain in the ass, but if you choose to do that, do it.
- [42:13]
F
It's traditional. Yeah.
- [42:14]
A
It's like, if you are choosing to change your name, you know that this is all of the things that you're going to have to do. These are the consequences of making that decision. And if you are concerned about not being able to vote, wait until after the election, or if you can get it done before the election, then there are no problems. This is why it's like, it's a skill issue. It's not a poll tax. It's a skill issue. So anyway, this couple, they took a untraditional route to this, where instead of her choosing to take his last name or vice versa, they surprise their family at their wedding to do a battle of the surnames. Watch this.
- [42:55]
F
What we've decided is that neither our names are going to disappear. So what we're going to do is we have organized some games where we're going to battle the families out against each other. And the winning family, we will be taking the last name of them.
- [43:20]
A
Here, the battle of the surnames begins. Tug of war. Yeah. Everyone's taking their heels off. So this is, I think, fun. I think this is fun. I see this. And obviously, I believe in what I believe, and I would go the traditional route, but if you're going to change your last name. And I think this is a very fun way to get the whole family involved, too, where it's like, how hard do you think the guy's family was working in this?
- [44:16]
F
No doubt. I bet he was the one in shorts.
- [44:18]
A
Yeah. He was like. And it's funny, too. I wonder if some people were aware of this or if it really was a surprise.
- [44:27]
F
They looked pretty shocked.
- [44:28]
A
They looked pretty shocked. Yeah. But I thought that that was pretty cool. I wonder whose name they ended up taking. I have to. I have to look up this couple on social media and find out. Now I'm kind of curious. I didn't look into that ahead of time. Oh, well, this next one, this is funny, and I have a story after. And then we're gonna get into. We're gonna get into Andrew's new segment that I am unaware of. But this one, this is a little kid. He's asking questions about how old his mom might be. Watch. When you were 10 years old, were you in a colonial time?
- [45:03]
B
No, I was born in 1984. So it was 1994. When I was 10 years old. We had cell phones. How old do you think that I am?
- [45:15]
A
41.
- [45:17]
B
So you think that minus 41 is colonial times? You think that was 41 years ago?
- [45:22]
C
Yeah.
- [45:23]
B
You're very wrong. I grew up with Internet. I grew up with cell phones. We had colored tv.
- [45:34]
A
He's not convinced. But when you were one, what were you in the colonial times? No. I love how at the end, the mom is, like, mad at him. Like, clearly he doesn't understand the concept of time, which is fair.
- [45:49]
F
His mom's like, hey, why don't you go upstairs and put your head between the banister?
- [45:53]
A
Yeah. So this reminded me of a story when I was babysitting this little girl. I was babysitting her on my 20th birthday, and I told her, it's my 20th birthday today. And she said, were you alive when the dinosaurs were alive?
- [46:08]
F
The answer is yes. Always yes.
- [46:10]
A
I was like, the dinosaurs 20 years old. Yeah. This just goes to show, kids have absolutely no concept of time. And then I asked her, I said, do you think that your parents were alive when the dinosaurs were alive? And she said, no. And then I said, so why would I be alive if. If I'm younger than your parents, why would I be alive when the dinosaurs were alive, and she was, like, totally stumped. But this just goes to show, like, kids, they have no concept of 20 years. Like, that just sounds like a lot to them because they're like, five and, you know, what do they know? So I thought that that was very cute. Okay, time for this new segment. Are you excited?
- [46:48]
F
The most excited I've ever been about anything in my whole life, I guess. Here we go.
- [46:53]
A
Producer Andrew's Facebook market finds. Nice.
- [47:00]
C
Nice.
- [47:01]
A
Okay, now we're going to be on Facebook Marketplace.
- [47:04]
F
So the game is. I'm going to show you some items that I have found digging on Facebook marketplace, and you are going to to try and guess how much these are listed for.
- [47:14]
A
Okay. I'm gonna be horrible at this game.
- [47:16]
F
It's the price is right, but in South Florida, which is diabolical. Okay, so let's go ahead and get this started here.
- [47:25]
A
What is that? Is that a sound system?
- [47:29]
F
Indeed it is. This is a 2000 Honda Odyssey with the most speakers I've ever seen in my whole life.
- [47:36]
A
These are real. Like, you went on Facebook Marketplace and saw this?
- [47:40]
F
Indeed.
- [47:42]
A
Okay, so you get the car. Also, the point is that you could drive this speaker somewhere.
- [47:49]
F
Sometimes you just gotta pull up for the homies and start playing your favorite songs.
- [47:53]
A
I mean, that car. A 2000 Honda Odyssey. My God, what is that going for $100. Okay, maybe $3,000.
- [48:10]
F
No, it is $32,000 for this souped up 2000 Honda Odyssey.
- [48:17]
A
What? Say that again.
- [48:23]
F
$32,000.
- [48:25]
A
$32,000 for a piece of crap.
- [48:30]
F
It has a bunch of speakers, though.
- [48:34]
A
People in the chat, someone said 10 bucks, and then people are guessing 20,000. 32,000. You know, I didn't really calculate how much that sound system speaker thing would cost, and I feel like speakers are very expensive. The listing says. Oh, well, some of it is in Spanish, so never mind.
- [48:58]
F
South Florida. All right, next item.
- [49:02]
A
Someone in the chat said that's not a piece of crap. Okay. Oh, okay. Unique dinosaur planter. A little creepy, but fun. And it is a cactus planter with a dinosaur body and a baby's head. This
- [49:21]
F
is definitely more than you would think.
- [49:24]
A
Really? I was going to say 30 bucks. Someone would maybe ask for this.
- [49:30]
F
Actually, that's pretty impressive. Is $35 okay? Yeah, that's a tough one. Here we go. Next.
- [49:37]
A
I think you could drive a hard bargain on the Dino Baby.
- [49:40]
F
They will definitely take any.
- [49:41]
A
I'll give you 20 for the $35 Dino baby. Oh, this is cool. A John Deere gator.
- [49:52]
F
Rare, heavy Unicorn gator. Never used the whole dirt or gravel. Only used to cruise
- [50:01]
A
showpiece gas. Okay, so it's a John Deere. It looks like a golf cart almost.
- [50:12]
F
Yes.
- [50:12]
A
I feel like, like it's less trash. It's giving. It's giving golf cart. It's not giving tractor for the people listening. So it's a John Deere
- [50:23]
F
scramble pad. Said 1300 ship. That gave us a laugh.
- [50:29]
A
It's got a gator head on it. I don't really know what this would go for. Regardless of the gator head and all the like, I have no concept of what a vehicle like this would cost. Let me say 45,000.
- [50:49]
F
It is 13,500.
- [50:52]
A
Okay.
- [50:52]
F
You could buy a very nice used or very nice car for that. I don't know if you need a gator.
- [50:58]
A
This is, this is one of my favorite swindle me. But I've heard that some people are spending lots and lots of money on golf carts down here.
- [51:05]
F
They do. Yeah.
- [51:06]
A
They nice ones that are souped up. Could be very expensive.
- [51:09]
F
True.
- [51:10]
A
And then you know, this one is a John Deere gator one very rare. Only on the streets a few times. Like, I don't know. You could charge a lot for that.
- [51:18]
F
I see how your brain got there. Okay, here's the next one.
- [51:22]
A
I told you I'd be bad at this. What the hell is that? Michelle and Barack Obama fashion with a pee purse.
- [51:33]
C
Fashion.
- [51:34]
A
What does the description say?
- [51:36]
F
The Obama's fashion purse or collectibles item. Brand new, hard to find and price to sell.
- [51:44]
A
Hard to find. Wow.
- [51:47]
F
This has got to be a one on one.
- [51:49]
A
This has to be one of one. This is, this is a rare find piece of art. A purse with a photo of Barack and Michelle Obama kissing on it in front of the Capitol. Is someone selling this for $300?
- [52:10]
F
Close. But it is $20.
- [52:14]
A
I was like, you could probably charge someone more money for that.
- [52:18]
F
I don't know how. But 20 feels very safe and feels very attainable.
- [52:23]
A
I mean this is worth like 5 cents in my opinion. Like this would just go straight in the trash. So you're asking the wrong person. I'm trying to.
- [52:32]
F
All right, here's the. Here, I got a couple more.
- [52:37]
A
This is so horrifying.
- [52:39]
F
Very well made. Bigfoot costume for sale. Only used once. Lots of laughs, really fun for parties or random strolls through the local parks. Winky face. It can fit anyone between 4 foot 5 and 5 foot 2. It is not a big suit.
- [52:55]
A
Yeah, this seems like a child. Child size suit. Cash or venmo this is one of these things. I don't understand why this is being sold on Facebook. Marketplace.
- [53:08]
F
They lowered the price too.
- [53:10]
A
Oh, really?
- [53:11]
F
Price to sell.
- [53:12]
A
How much should they lower it by? Can you tell?
- [53:15]
F
Yeah. 20 bucks.
- [53:16]
A
Okay.
- [53:17]
F
It's a hot commodity.
- [53:18]
A
So nobody. Nobody wanted this. Someone said this is too hot to wear in Florida. I agree. It looks very creepy. The photo of it laying down on the couch just like deflated.
- [53:29]
F
Looks like it punched a capri sun and got the air sucked out of it.
- [53:36]
A
This has got to go for 30 bucks.
- [53:43]
F
$40. We'll give it to you.
- [53:44]
A
So they were selling it for 60 bucks? Attempting to.
- [53:47]
F
Yes.
- [53:49]
A
My gosh.
- [53:49]
F
All right, last two.
- [53:51]
A
This would be fun though, to dress as bigfoot and go through the park like this is. People get their phones out. They. Yeah.
- [53:58]
F
I want attention.
- [53:59]
A
Create panic. Is this the last one?
- [54:03]
F
Second to last one.
- [54:04]
A
Second to last one. Okay. Lady and the clown. Creepy oddities.
- [54:08]
F
One of a kind alligator dolls.
- [54:11]
A
One of one.
- [54:11]
F
One of a kind creepy slash cute question mark oddities. Made for vintage dolls and real alligator heads. These bizarre little characters are guaranteed conversation starters and perfect for collectors of oddities. I'm gonna skip a little bit. This lady is very long winded.

These things look like they walked straight out of a fever dream or an old roadside attraction. They are dingy and dust and creepy af you definitely won't find another pair like them, that's for sure. Okay, so these look like very creepy dolls. Even if they had human heads on them, they would be very creepy. I know people. Dolls are collector items. People do collect dolls. I am aware of that. I think that it's weird, but people do spend on. Spend money on this stuff. And they do have real alligator heads. They look like baby alligator heads. So. $200.
- [55:11]
F
Boom. 250.
- [55:12]
A
Okay. That was pretty close.
- [55:14]
F
All right, we'll call it. We'll go out on a win because you're not going to get the last go. We'll go out on a win.
- [55:20]
A
I'm not going to get the last color.
- [55:22]
F
You don't see a chance.
- [55:24]
A
You're not going to show it to me? You're not gonna show them to me?
- [55:28]
F
I'll show them to you.
- [55:31]
A
Okay. This is a lava lamp with the Joker or Chester the jester. Sorry. Rare vintage 1990s Chester the Jester icon series. Lava lamp working. I had a lava lamp in my room growing up.
- [55:46]
F
Not for this amount of money you didn't.
- [55:49]
A
So it's a lot. It's expensive. Oh, yeah. I don't know what lava lamps go for rare and highly collectible. Chester the Jester lava lamp from the Lava Light Icon series produced in the mid to late 1990s. Purple wax in clear liquid purple cap fully functional with excellent lava flow. Okay. Sculpted ceramic gesture base in blue and teal. They rarely come up locally. Collectors actively seek these out. I think they're doing too much in the description. They're like, this is really a big deal, you know, to try to justify this price is this. Why do you. Why do you say I'm not going to get this? Someone in the chat said 1500. Is that close? Higher or lower?
- [56:33]
F
Lower.
- [56:37]
A
$500.
- [56:38]
F
That was close. 400.
- [56:39]
A
Okay.
- [56:39]
F
It's a good guess. And then this is my last one. Oh.
- [56:44]
A
Chuck E. Cheese costume walk around heads from the 90s. It's not even the full costume. It's just the head comes with the hands and the hands. Okay. I'm selling two rare Chuck E. Cheese walk around heads. The left one has some issues with a missing tongue, tooth, and some other small things, while the right one is near perfect.
- [57:08]
F
They dropped the price. $500, by the way.
- [57:12]
A
You're telling me that they were selling this for more than 500?
- [57:15]
F
Significantly more. Told you you wouldn't get the last two. They're like two out there.
- [57:21]
A
I am willing to separate them. The great condition one. Oh, it already says in the description given away. Dang. It says that they'll sell it. They'll separate them. The one on the right.
- [57:35]
F
Yeah, that's a discount, my friend.
- [57:37]
A
$2,600. The left one for 2,100. So if you want to get them both. Five grand.
- [57:42]
F
Five grand?
- [57:44]
A
No way. No way, man. And for what? Like, what would you need this for?
- [57:50]
F
Collector's item, I guess.
- [57:52]
A
For what? To just.
- [57:54]
F
Big Chuck E. Cheese fan.
- [57:56]
A
That's really creepy. Anyone that's a big fan of Chuck E. Cheese needs to have their hard drive checked. That's bizarre.
- [58:03]
F
There you go.
- [58:04]
A
All right. I only.
- [58:04]
F
Well done. You got. You got like three out of nine.
- [58:08]
A
I like that. Mixed signals in the chat about whether people like the segment or not. We'll have to do it again and do some more market research.
- [58:15]
F
There you go. Thanks, fam.
- [58:18]
A
All right, I do have time for a few questions, so I will do them. Favorite scary movie. These are from my Instagram story, so I'm no longer responding to them. But if you have any in the chat, feel free to throw them in the chat. Someone asked me, favorite scary movie. My favorite scary movie, hands down, is the conjuring and One of my best friends who likes to watch scary movies with me, she just sent me that. They're doing a new Conjuring movie. So sort of like a prequel. And I'm not a big fan of prequel, sequel, reboot, you know, remix, whatever. Like, all these redone movies, it's so exhausting. But I do like the Conjuring series, so that I will make an exception for. There's also a new scary movie out called Obsession. Did you hear about this?
- [59:04]
F
I did. I'm excited to see it.
- [59:06]
A
I want to see it. Is it in. It's not in theaters. It's on Streaming. Right.
- [59:10]
F
Not 100% sure. I just know the. The two. Two guys who, like, really produce the whole thing are former YouTube producers. Yeah.
- [59:19]
A
Cool.
- [59:20]
F
So it's, like, really cool segue from, like, YouTube to cinema.
- [59:22]
A
That's cool. Yeah, I'd be willing to see that. I like. I like a good scary movie. Someone asked me in the chat, what's your Memorial Day plans? Memorial Day plans. I am going out with some friends. Girls night tomorrow night. I am going on a boat on Sunday. Monday I'll be working to prepare for Tuesday's show. So church on Sunday, as always, grocery shopping. I'm gonna try to sit by my pool and read my book, and that's about it, you know, nothing. What are you guys up to?
- [59:59]
F
I'm gonna be up in Maine.
- [60:01]
A
Oh, yeah?
- [60:02]
F
That's great. Yeah, I'm looking forward to it. Gonna try to see how many lobster rolls I can eat this year.
- [60:06]
A
And what are you up there for? Just for fun.
- [60:10]
F
Yeah, we love going up there. We love Maine.
- [60:11]
A
Nice lobster rolls and vibes. I like it. Someone asked me, women now outnumber men in college and in the workforce. Do you think that's a good trend? Absolutely not. I don't think that's a good trend. Unless men are waking up to the scam that is college and they are going to, you know, trade school and making more money and not being saddled with debt, then I would say that it would make sense. I don't know why so many women go to college now. I mean, I went because it was, like, the thing to do, and I'm glad that I did. I mean, I wouldn't have this job if I didn't. I wouldn't have my career if I didn't. Thankfully, I do have a career, because, like, what else would I be doing? I don't know. So I'm grateful for it. Summer reading list. Someone asked me what I'm reading to. I'M reading, I think. Think it's called Pretty Girls. I haven't had much time to read these days, unfortunately. So if I do read anything, it's apolitical. It's not news, it's not a memoir. It's none of that stuff. I like to drain my brain and watch. I'm sorry, read thrillers. I read a lot of thrillers and, like, murder mysteries and things like that. So someone also asked me my favorite author or book. I wouldn't be able to pick my favorite book ever. I don't have a favorite book. Like, people ask me what my favorite movie, movie is or my favorite book. Kind of hard for me to pick one. And I don't really have a favorite author either. But I would say I do have a lot of freedom. McFadden books on my nightstand right now because they're quick reads. You can read them very fast. They. They move very quickly. Good beach reads. So people say a lot of bad things about Frida McFadden. Did you. Do you know anything about her, her lore? This author?
- [62:05]
F
Can you name a book she's written?
- [62:06]
A
Like the House Mage with Sydney Sweeney. She was in that movie. Yeah. So Freda McFadden wrote that book. She's written dozens of books, and they're all very. They're all along the same lines of thriller. And people who read her books feel like, oh, this is sort of the same old song and dance. So maybe it's predictable. I think that the twists are very good. In the end, I haven't been able to really guess any ahead of time. Like, I've always been surprised. I also am not reading this book to be, like, blown away by, you know, her philosophical musings. So this is just for fun for me. So I don't really care, but I just think they're. They're fun books. But she is a doctor in real life, also an author, and she just revealed her identity for the first time. She was Frida McFadden's, like, a pen name. And she didn't want her patients to know that she was this, like, murder author.
- [63:04]
F
Must be nice being smart.
- [63:06]
A
Yeah, I know. An author and a doctor. I mean, wouldn't be me. Yeah. Save some ambition for the rest of us, you know? So, anyway, I'll answer some of these other questions next week, but I wanted to wish everyone one last time a happy Memorial Day weekend. Just remember the real reason behind it, and I'll see you right back here on Tuesday. Bye. Some follow the noise. Bloomberg follows the money.
