2:29

survey participant spoken to spooky gay bullshit. I'm

2:31

Johnny and I'm Tyler and this is our

2:33

weekly hangout where we get to go over

2:35

all of the spooky gay bullshit that we

2:37

just didn't have time to cover on the

2:39

main show. That's right because it's Friday night.

2:42

I was satisfied with my customer experience today

2:44

and that's Rojo Caliente. Thank you. Would you

2:46

like to answer another survey after this call?

2:48

Press one if so. Press two if so.

2:51

Right. Trickcha. Yeah. Yeah.

2:53

Those phone surveys. I know.

2:56

For a minute I did

2:59

work in a call center doing phone surveys.

3:01

Yeah. It was in Montreal and I wasn't

3:03

French speaking so it was really the only

3:05

job that I could get and it was

3:08

awful. Yeah. Terrible. You know what? Similarly

3:10

when we first moved to Toronto

3:13

I was doing captions for like

3:15

videos and audio files and stuff

3:18

like that. Jesus. You know getting

3:20

paid by the word. Transcribing. Yeah.

3:22

Transcribing and putting like captions on

3:24

videos. And anyway I

3:27

had to do a number of those

3:29

like call in to talk about diapers

3:31

for 20 minutes and we'll send you

3:33

a hundred dollar gift card. Right. And

3:37

those get dark. Those get dark real quick.

3:39

They get real real dark. They get real

3:41

real dark real real quick. So yeah I

3:43

hear you. It's a similar

3:45

vibe. Transcribing services must be

3:47

kind of dying and being replaced

3:49

with AI right? I can imagine.

3:51

Like digital transcription has gotten so

3:54

good. Yeah. With all of those

3:56

apps. I mean even now I

3:58

think on Apple podcasts like. Like what

4:00

we are speaking at this moment is

4:02

being transcribed by a robot, right? It

4:05

is, yes. And that's great for accessibility

4:07

because it is a lot of work

4:09

to get something transcribed. Yes. So

4:12

for people who cannot hear, it's a

4:14

wonderful thing. Absolutely. It's questionable usually when

4:16

it comes to gay slang. Well, that's

4:18

true. And things of such an ill.

4:21

Yeah. Yeah. I'd

4:23

be curious to see how accurate or more

4:26

so how inaccurate it is. Yeah.

4:29

Let's see an episode of a podcast for

4:31

Candy Muse is the guest. Yeah. And

4:34

then we'll talk about those AI transcription.

4:36

That's the tea. Yeah. Anyway,

4:38

maybe I should just start talking in Candy

4:40

Muse voice more often. I won't. Oh

4:43

yeah. Maybe I should. Just to trick

4:45

the robot. Yeah. I'll

4:48

put that on my, I was

4:50

going to say on my back burner. Put that in my little

4:52

hat. Yeah. Put that in your

4:54

arsenal. That's the image. Yeah. Right

4:57

up my arse. So hi

4:59

everyone. Hi. Welcome to the

5:01

show. Hello. Hope you're doing well.

5:03

We're full of ums and laws today. Umm-hmm.

5:05

And I think we're ready to get into

5:08

it unless there's anything else you want to

5:10

talk about before we do. I'm ready to

5:12

get into it. Okay. Okay. We

5:15

do have an amendment from the last episode of the

5:17

main show since we are about to talk about Drag

5:19

Race. I feel like it is applicable. Don't

5:21

worry. We won't be mentioning it on the next main

5:23

show. But how dare we

5:26

talk about that finale of Drag Race season

5:28

16 without talking about Elvira being honored. I

5:31

know that was so ignorant

5:33

of us. Yeah. Not

5:35

even like acknowledge it when we were covering the

5:37

episode. I know. They gave her like a lifetime

5:39

achievement award. Anyway, we totally have to make good

5:41

for that. So we'll do it on the main

5:43

show. Yeah. But I just wanted to

5:45

say how very dare we. How very dare we. I'm very

5:48

disappointed in this. Yeah. I was just thinking

5:50

about the show as one does and I went rude. Yeah.

5:53

Exactly. However,

5:55

we do have some Drag Race to talk

5:57

about, but Drag Race of a different ilk.

5:59

Yeah. So some of you might know and

6:01

if you skipped a week then we'll tell you

6:04

there is a drag race Vegas Review

6:06

untucked series that is airing right

6:08

now And it is just

6:10

as if not more iconic than the first

6:12

time they did the drag race Vegas series back

6:14

in 2020 Exactly, but

6:17

this time it's more like behind the

6:19

stage stuff because the show has been

6:21

established It's a well oiled machine Yeah

6:23

And we just get to see the

6:25

Queen's just untucked backstage and we also

6:27

get to see Derek produced

6:29

the entire show. Oh my god So

6:34

we are gonna be talking about episode two

6:36

of the six part drag race Vegas Untucked

6:38

or whatever the fuck it's called series. Mm-hmm

6:40

You don't want spoilers or if you don't

6:42

care skip ahead a few minutes, but otherwise

6:44

we got to talk about this It's

6:47

an absolute joy generator It

6:49

is now do you have high points and

6:52

low points from this episode or just like

6:54

general things that you want to squeal about?

6:56

I mean more so general things that I

6:58

want to squeal about I feel like because

7:00

this isn't a competition There isn't as

7:02

much like drama unfolding This

7:05

episode I will say was a little bit

7:07

more low-key than the first episode was in

7:09

regards. Yeah, like the komf llama However,

7:12

this episode was really insightful because

7:14

we got to learn with it

7:16

and this I guess would be my

7:18

high point We got to learn more

7:21

about Coco Montrese and more

7:23

specifically Coco really

7:25

opened up about her

7:27

experience Living

7:30

life with her husband who

7:32

was undergoing chemotherapy just after

7:34

they got married Yeah, and

7:36

this was also in conjunction

7:38

with her time on

7:40

season 5 So when Coco Montrese was

7:42

on season 5 of drag race, her

7:44

husband was back home receiving

7:47

chemotherapy after stage 4 cancer that

7:49

he was diagnosed with Like

7:52

moments after they got married Yeah, I

7:54

can the grand scheme of things and

7:56

that was never brought up in the

7:58

season. Coco did not say anything

8:00

about that. I have not heard Coco

8:03

talk about that at all until this

8:05

episode. Yeah. And it really gives you

8:07

an appreciation for the

8:10

shit that people have to go through

8:12

on a daily basis. Because if I

8:14

was on a reality TV show, Johnny, and

8:16

you were at home fighting for

8:18

your life, I would probably be

8:21

all over the place too. I would

8:23

be a mess too. I would be

8:25

angry. I would be popping off at

8:27

everything. Because life would be so scary

8:29

and you would feel so selfish just

8:31

being there. Yeah. I'd be a different

8:33

person every 10 minutes. Exactly.

8:35

So it just was like a really

8:37

big eye opener for me about how

8:39

Coco Montrese has been perceived in regards

8:42

to season five. Because she was definitely

8:44

one of the villains of the season.

8:46

Oh, absolutely. But that provided a ton

8:49

of context. Yeah. And yeah, I

8:51

just thought that was very interesting to hear.

8:53

And yeah. So that

8:55

was kind of the biggest standout for

8:57

me. Absolutely. I would say that my

9:00

high point of the episode was kind

9:02

of already brought up by you, but

9:04

it's worth mentioning again, Derek is the

9:06

producer, Derek is the drama. Yeah, yeah,

9:09

yeah. Derek is the instigator. Derek is

9:11

even saying such things as, hmm, which

9:13

pod will I stir next? Yeah. And

9:15

I fucking love it. Derek Berry is

9:18

reality TV goer. Yeah. Like I don't

9:20

need to put up any artifice around

9:22

it. Like I love knowing that Derek

9:24

is just like guiding the drama. It's

9:27

probably going to producers and being like,

9:29

I think Pranjana might want

9:31

to fuck this dancer. So can we do

9:33

a thing where we have to do figure

9:36

drawing of this dancer? So that we can

9:38

set them up on a date. Exactly. Like

9:40

how iconic. Also love that Pangina got to

9:42

flex her art skills. Didn't know she went

9:44

to UCLA, but it makes sense. Whatever. Will

9:47

say I kind of

9:50

low key enjoy the drama

9:52

of Pangina's naming misspelled on

9:54

her dressing room door. Oh yeah. Low

9:56

key through the first two episodes. Now

9:58

they keep correcting it. in the cutaways

10:00

to the doors, but if you are

10:02

watching with an eagle eye, you can

10:04

clearly see that on the door, it

10:07

says Pangea is there. So

10:09

just saying. And I want to know if that

10:11

was like the oopsie poopsie or if it's some

10:14

sort of inside joke. I'm not really sure. It's

10:16

not going to dress. I don't think it's an

10:18

inside joke. No. Because they corrected

10:20

it when they do the cutaway. That's true, but maybe

10:22

they just didn't want to confuse the audience. Yeah, I

10:24

don't know. If that's

10:26

your joke, your joke sucks. Kind of. I'm

10:28

the comic producer, Derek Berry. Now in

10:30

terms of low points, do we have them? I

10:32

mean, I guess we can both agree that Kennedy

10:34

was not there and Alexis wasn't there. So that

10:36

is a low point in and of itself. We're

10:39

going to be losing Lawrence after the next

10:42

episode. Yeah, so that sucks too. Yeah, but

10:44

outside of that, I'm not really upset about

10:46

anything. Me either. There's nothing to be upset

10:48

about. It's entertaining as hell. Yeah, no crumbs

10:50

were left. All right. Well, do you have

10:52

anything else you want to say about this

10:54

episode or anticipatory thoughts

10:56

about episode three? Well, I'm excited

10:59

for the wig snatching. That's going to

11:01

be happening. I'm sure it's being completely overblown

11:03

in the preview, but either way, I'm looking

11:05

forward to it. I'm excited for Derek to

11:08

go drinking with the girls. I've

11:10

already heard her exclaiming about Chambord or

11:13

something like that. I don't

11:15

know. The captions again are captioning away.

11:17

So I'm like, I won't

11:19

know until I see the context of the

11:21

party. But I will say this, if

11:23

drinking is going to be happening, I

11:26

do hope Nebraska makes an appearance. In

11:28

full drag for no reason, uninvited. Yes,

11:30

please. All right. Well, I guess we'll

11:32

put down the drag race Vegas talk

11:34

for now. Yeah, we'll be back. We

11:36

will watch this space. Now

11:39

you're kicking us off this week, right?

11:42

That's right. Yeah. And

11:44

I'm going to be kicking us off

11:46

with a doozy. This is a story

11:48

that is going to completely shock everybody

11:51

listening because back in 2022,

11:53

a 32 year old man

11:56

named Brandon O'Quinn Raspberry was shot

11:58

and killed while sleeping sleeping in

12:00

an RV park in Nixon,

12:02

Texas. The fuck? Yeah, that's

12:05

not even the wild part.

12:07

No. Despite a

12:09

thorough investigation, this case quickly

12:11

grew cold and Brandon's murderer

12:13

was never found. But

12:16

recently, there was a break in

12:18

the case when his murderer more

12:20

or less confessed to the crime.

12:22

Okay. However, no one

12:25

suspected that this person was going

12:27

to be a 10 year old

12:29

boy. What? Yeah. So,

12:33

that's the fucked up part. God, I

12:35

can't even process that. Yeah. But

12:38

go on. I will. So due

12:40

to child privacy laws, the boy has not been named

12:42

nor do I think they will be.

12:44

Yeah. But according to

12:46

the Gonzales County Sheriff's Office, the

12:48

10 year old confessed to using

12:50

his grandfather's gun to fatally shoot

12:52

Brandon in his sleep, which

12:54

was just one week before this little

12:57

boy's eighth birthday. He was seven years

12:59

old at the time. What?

13:02

Yeah. And this wasn't necessarily

13:05

like an act of atonement,

13:07

the fact that the police

13:09

found this information out because

13:12

on April 12th, a Nixon

13:14

smiley consolidated independent school district

13:16

principal told Gonzales County

13:18

authorities that a 10 year old boy

13:20

who, or this 10 year old

13:23

boy, who was a student there had

13:25

threatened to assault and kill

13:27

another student on a school

13:30

bus the previous day, which

13:32

prompted them to conduct a

13:34

threat assessment. And

13:36

school district officials informed the responding

13:38

officers that the 10 year old

13:40

boy had made comments about shooting

13:43

and killing a man two years

13:45

ago. Shit. Yeah.

13:48

Okay. And just on this

13:50

information, the Gonzales County police suspected that

13:52

this little boy might have known something

13:55

about Brandon Raspberry's death.

13:58

And according to a news release. He

14:00

did. During a forensic

14:02

interview at a child advocacy

14:04

center, the 10-year-old provided information

14:06

that was consistent with first-hand

14:08

knowledge of the homicide of

14:11

Brandon Raspberry. Authorities

14:13

reported the child said that he was visiting

14:15

his grandfather who lived in the same RV

14:17

park as Brandon Raspberry on January 16, 2022.

14:19

And after obtaining a pistol that he found

14:22

in the glove

14:26

box of his grandfather's truck, the

14:29

kid basically told investigators that

14:32

he went to Brandon Raspberry's

14:34

RV, found him sleeping

14:36

inside, and then shot him in

14:38

the head before lodging another bullet

14:41

into the couch of the RV.

14:45

After that, he left and returned

14:47

the gun to the glove box.

14:50

The boy apparently recognized Brandon Raspberry

14:52

from around the RV park,

14:54

but otherwise, they didn't have any

14:56

kind of a personal

14:59

connection. Investigators did prove

15:01

this little kid if he

15:04

was maybe mad at Brandon for some

15:06

reason or if Brandon had done something

15:08

to him to make him mad, but

15:10

the child said no. There

15:12

is no reason this kid could

15:14

give as to why he went

15:16

into the RV and shot this

15:18

man. That is so fucked up.

15:20

Yeah. So as of right now,

15:23

there is no clear motive on

15:25

why this little boy did what

15:27

he did. Yeah. Now, since then,

15:29

because the murder happened in 2022, and

15:32

it's now 2024, the grandfather had

15:34

pawned the gun, but police were

15:36

able to track the gun down,

15:39

and they performed a forensic analysis

15:41

and comparison of the two shell

15:43

casings that were found at the

15:45

scene of the crime. And they

15:47

determined that the pawn gun was

15:50

the same firearm that had been

15:52

used to kill Brandon Raspberry. So

15:54

this little boy's story certainly was

15:56

adding up. Now, after all of

15:58

this was discovered, The

16:01

boy was sent to a psychiatric

16:03

hospital in San Antonio, Texas for

16:05

evaluation and treatment. And he

16:07

was later placed in a detention center to

16:09

await his court date, which I don't know

16:12

when that's going to be happening. I feel

16:14

like a lot of the information about this

16:16

will never be made public, considering the fact

16:18

that this is a child. Because

16:21

yeah, that alone makes this a

16:23

very tricky case. But also in

16:25

Texas, a child can't

16:27

be legally held responsible for a

16:29

criminal act before reaching 10 years old.

16:33

So although this boy is now 10

16:35

years old at the time when this

16:37

murder happened, he was seven. Therefore,

16:40

it said that the Gonzales

16:42

County Attorney's Office will not

16:44

file or accept murder charges

16:46

in this case. So

16:48

I don't know what kind of

16:50

discipline this child is going to

16:52

receive. Obviously, this is a kid

16:54

who needs some kind of help.

16:57

I'm not the person to say what that help is.

17:00

No, but this is a serious thing to

17:02

fucking do. This is super serious. It cannot

17:04

just be dropped. Yeah. Also,

17:07

it's so fucking irresponsible to just have a

17:09

gun sitting in your fucking glove box. I

17:11

know, right? Like, why can't his ass get

17:13

grilled a little bit for it? You know,

17:16

like, pop pop over there. I

17:18

mean, who knows? Maybe it could, but

17:20

I mean, if he was legally possessing

17:23

this gun and he had it in, I

17:25

guess, the proper lock box, there's probably not

17:27

much that can be done considering the gun

17:30

laws in the United States aren't necessarily smart.

17:33

Yeah. Yeah. They're

17:35

quite less than smart, let's just say.

17:37

I don't want to call anyone stupid.

17:39

No, but I think owning a gun

17:41

is horrible and awful and unnecessary. And

17:43

some really horrible stuff can come from

17:46

it, obviously. So again,

17:48

in regards to this case, we really don't know how

17:50

things are going to shake out. But

17:52

of course, our hearts go out to

17:54

Brandon Raspberry's loved ones who have been

17:56

having to come to terms with this.

18:00

And I'm sure it's dredging up a lot. It's

18:02

giving them closure, but I'm sure it's also... It's

18:05

horrifying to imagine that somebody that

18:07

you loved died in this way.

18:10

It's so fucking senseless. Anyway,

20:47

my turn to go and first of

20:49

all, a big a la a la

20:52

to Sarah with no age for sending

20:54

this in. So, to

20:56

kick things off this week, we are

20:58

going to be talking about some news

21:00

that comes out of Central Park Zoo

21:02

in New York City. New York

21:04

City NYC. Very

21:07

metropolitan. And specifically, we

21:09

are going to be talking about

21:11

their very metropolitan penguin population. Now

21:14

unfortunately, even though we're talking

21:16

about metropolitan penguin, I don't know, it's

21:19

not gay penguin news. Surprised, surprised. That's too

21:22

bad. So, I cannot confirm

21:24

nor deny the sexual proclivities of said penguins

21:26

involved in this story. I mean, that's just

21:28

true. But, I do have some news from

21:30

the world of penguin couture and that is

21:32

kind of gay in and of itself. Oh

21:35

yeah. Anyway, it centers around a

21:37

little star named Will, who is a 15

21:39

year old penguin who lives at the Central

21:41

Park Zoo. Now recently, it

21:44

turns out Will had hurt one of

21:46

his feet. Flippers, you know, one of the... The

21:48

toes. Fins? Yeah,

21:50

exactly. So, no. That

21:52

would be like sticking at the back. Yeah, that's

21:55

true. A foot. A foot. I'm

21:57

sure it's a foot. Whatever. So anyway, hurt is

21:59

a little footy. caused him a lot of discomfort

22:01

as he waddled around. It wasn't anything too

22:03

wild, like it didn't have to be amputated

22:06

or anything like that, but he had to

22:08

keep off the thing, which is kinda tough,

22:10

given the fact that penguins don't have a

22:12

lot of brown clearance. Well that's it, they

22:15

kinda like stubby, right? Like they don't got

22:17

much- they can't really lean.

22:19

Let's be real, penguins are the wiener

22:21

dogs of the bird world. It's true.

22:24

Their proportions are just not

22:26

exactly poppin'. But they don't even have the

22:28

benefit of having four legs, you know? No. They

22:31

just got the two. It's true.

22:33

But anyway, as it turns out,

22:36

Will the 15 year old penguin's

22:38

afflicted foot wasn't really like

22:40

responding to topical treatments that well or

22:43

anything like that. So anyway, in a

22:45

stroke of creativity, a zoo vet made

22:47

the recommendation that Will should get like

22:49

a boot or some sort of boot

22:52

adjacent foot covering to ease his discomfort

22:54

and like allow for increased mobility. The

22:57

problem is though, this brought on the question

22:59

of how may one construct such a boot

23:01

and who will be the one to do

23:03

it? Now the answer did

23:06

come after not too long of

23:08

a wait actually, in the form

23:10

of a seasonal employee at the

23:12

Central Park Zoo named Amy, who

23:14

as it turns out has training

23:16

in theater costume design. Worked. I

23:18

know, right? All of the reporting says that

23:20

they were trained in Broadway theater costumes and

23:22

it's like, okay. Well maybe

23:25

they worked on Broadway though. They could

23:27

have, yeah. I'm, we're not like diminishing

23:29

anybody's contributions here because Amy saved

23:32

the fucking day. Hell yeah.

23:34

Exactly. So let me just

23:37

do what the rest of the news

23:39

has been doing and blindly glom onto

23:41

the vibe and say Broadway saves day

23:43

a mobilizing foot of sad little penguin

23:45

because that's the news I want to

23:47

see in the world. Thank you. But

23:50

people will probably read that and be like, I'm

23:52

going to go see the penguin show on Broadway.

23:54

Yeah. It's either way, web your back. Oh my

23:56

God. Danny DeVito is reprising his role as the

23:58

penguin on Broadway. Yeah. Unfortunately,

24:00

well no actually fortunately after several prototypes

24:02

They were able to come up with

24:05

a design that worked for Will and

24:07

his little footy and just like that

24:09

Don't you know the little guy's back

24:11

on his regular bullshit? I was the

24:13

only thing unfortunately because there was no

24:16

Danny DeVito contribution in anywhere, right? You

24:19

and some you lose some still penguin

24:22

couture. I'm right. Yeah, like a Broadway

24:24

adjacent Costume designer came in and hooked

24:26

this little penguin baby. Uh-huh now they're

24:28

waddling in peace Yeah, we love to

24:31

see it. We do but I hope

24:33

there's a little bit of razzle-dazzle one

24:35

would hope I mean it is just

24:38

kind of like a simple black booty.

24:40

Yeah, but I also feel

24:42

like that's very Broadway You know character

24:44

shoe. It's like a it's a one

24:47

penguin show just a spotlight and a

24:49

stool Yeah, a glass of water. Oh

24:51

my god, and it's called return to

24:53

Club Penguin. Yeah I

24:56

didn't even play it, but I just I know the

24:59

reference is iconic. Yeah, or it could be called penguin

25:02

press penguin publishing You know I

25:04

kind of a plan that cuz like yeah

25:06

very like New York all of these options

25:09

will get them sued and I think that

25:11

is Fierce yeah, cuz then that gets you

25:13

in the head. I get to yeah, no

25:15

presses bad practice. You the penguin press. Yeah

25:19

Anyway, congratulations to will the penguin and

25:22

Amy. Yeah, you've now branched out into

25:24

the world of bird design It's really

25:26

fucking cool bird design wonderful put it

25:28

on the resume But honestly like this

25:30

is gonna help another penguin in the

25:32

future, you know it like I would like

25:35

to think this is gonna be the last

25:37

Penguin to hurt their foot. I would hope

25:39

that you drafted up the plan Yeah, you

25:41

know what I mean? Mm-hmm keep that in

25:43

the back pocket Anyway, thank you to my

25:45

25:55

of course, thank you once again to Sarah

25:57

with no aid. Oh, yeah. Thank you, Sarah

26:00

You're an icon. Vary that. Alright,

26:02

now I've got the next piece of

26:05

spooky gay bullshit, Johnny, and y'all know

26:07

you're listening to Spooky Gay Bullshit when

26:09

we have another story about a misplaced

26:11

and rediscovered jawbone. If you know it's

26:14

spooky gay bullshit too, will we say

26:16

the phrase spooky gay bullshit twice in

26:18

one sentence? Oh girl, take a shot

26:20

every time we say spooky gay bullshit

26:23

and you'll be flying huh? You'll be

26:25

your gun. You'll be Rojo Caliente in

26:27

no time. Sorry about that. But

26:30

anyway, jawbones are back in the

26:32

headlines, Johnny. Yay! Are

26:34

they in floors? Um, not this time.

26:36

However, they are in something else. Ceilings?

26:38

No, I'm getting a bit ahead of

26:40

myself. Let me set the stage,

26:43

if you will. So last

26:45

week, as we remember, you talked

26:47

about the man who discovered a

26:49

fossilized jawbone embedded in a kitchen

26:51

tile. And this week

26:53

I have a story about a mom

26:56

from Arizona who found a jawbone in

26:58

her son's rock collection. Woah. Mm

27:01

hmm. So what had

27:03

happened was, more than two

27:05

decades ago at the beginning

27:07

of the millennia, their son

27:09

had inherited this rock collection

27:11

from his grandfather who was

27:13

apparently an avid rock collector.

27:16

This was all well and good, but then

27:18

in 2002, the mom discovered the rock collection

27:20

and then

27:23

immediately noticed something a little

27:25

odd. This, of

27:28

course, was the jawbone.

27:30

And so once she realized that this

27:32

was a piece of human remains, she

27:34

contacted the police. Oh, so she wasn't just

27:37

like, oh, that seems jaw-like, but

27:39

she was like, bitch, that's from

27:41

a human. It had teeth. Okay. And

27:44

this wasn't like embedded in a rock. Like this was just

27:46

a jawbone. Damn. Yeah.

27:49

Like, no offense, but how dumb are

27:51

you rock collectors, not clocking it as

27:53

the bone that it is? Maybe

27:56

he wasn't wearing his glasses with that day. I don't know.

27:58

What kind of geo do you have? Do you think

28:00

that is, sir? Right? He probably thought it

28:02

was something special. Look at that rock with

28:04

teeth. Yeah. Yeah, okay. But anyways, so yeah.

28:07

So mama found the rock with teeth, and

28:09

she was like, hey, police, my son has

28:11

a jawbone. Yeah. And I don't know where

28:13

it came from. You ever seen a tooth

28:15

rock before? Yeah. So the

28:17

sheriff's office obviously responded to the call, and

28:19

they came to collect the jawbone. The family,

28:22

the mother who turned it over, really had

28:24

no idea where it came from. It was

28:26

just like in this rock collection, but beyond

28:28

that, she had no fucking idea. Sure.

28:31

So the police were like, OK,

28:33

let's do a DNA test. So

28:35

they did some traditional DNA testing,

28:37

but that unfortunately yielded no results.

28:39

There was nothing in the government

28:41

database that was able to positively

28:44

identify these remains. Yeah, they were like, we can

28:47

tell that it's 100% that bitch. Yeah.

28:50

But outside of that, I have no idea.

28:52

Yeah, so much. So they

28:55

did this. They had no other

28:57

leads. They just

29:00

did not know where this jawbone came

29:02

from. Sure, yeah. And so they just

29:04

kind of put it somewhere for safekeeping

29:07

and classified it under Rock Collection John

29:09

Doe. And that was

29:11

pretty much it until January

29:13

2023. OK,

29:16

although, whoa, whoa, whoa, baby, whoa. Rock Collection

29:19

John Doe is a great drag name. It

29:21

is. You can take that, everyone. Yeah, you

29:23

can. I didn't know that. You can have

29:25

it. I guarantee you nobody has that drag

29:27

name. You'll be remembered. You

29:30

will. But anyway, I digress. Yeah. So

29:32

fast forward, like 20 years later, it's

29:34

January 2023. The

29:37

Sheriff's Office and the

29:40

Yavapai County Medical Examiner

29:42

referred this case to

29:44

the Investigative Genetic Genealogy

29:46

Center. And the college

29:49

would partner with the Yavapai County

29:51

Sheriff's Office to work on this

29:53

case for free. And

29:55

this was through one of their boot camps,

29:57

which I'll kind of explain in a moment.

30:00

But basically they were able

30:02

to extract some more dna

30:04

from this sample and they

30:06

are able to send the

30:08

dna off to Salt Lake

30:10

City, Virginia. Logical testing from

30:12

their A profile was developed

30:15

and upload it to to

30:17

geological or genealogy databases Jed

30:19

Match Pro and Family Tree

30:21

Dna Him Now as I'm.

30:24

Worried. To call and see me in

30:26

a bottle that's good. a genie and

30:28

a bottle. Then you send it on.

30:31

You find out who your related to.

30:33

Yeah and maybe they could have this

30:35

kind of reveal. Yeah I have

30:37

to like Rob allows yeah Alexander of

30:40

your exact Lloyd, your family, Melissa Gene

30:42

reveal how dare are trying to something

30:44

there Johnny Her right that our Oh

30:47

of Beauty or Three episode title vague

30:49

you have great job. So anyway it

30:51

a they sent us off to

30:53

these. Two genealogy databases and after

30:56

a months long laboratory process in

30:58

Salt Lake City, the colleges investigative

31:00

genetic a genealogy boot camp received

31:03

the case the last July. So

31:05

this and when July two Thousand

31:07

and Twenty Three and the Boot

31:10

Camps participants ended up helping to

31:12

find a positive match for the

31:14

Dna. Yeah, so com. So the

31:17

Boot Camps participants who rage between

31:19

the ages of like eighteen, two

31:21

eighty and were involved in this.

31:24

However, this group included a fifteen

31:26

year old high school student named

31:28

Ethan Schwartz, who is now being

31:30

accredited as the youngest person ever

31:32

to contribute to an Investigative To

31:34

The Attic Trg case resolution that

31:36

fears yeah, so what did you

31:38

do on your summer vacation or

31:40

three? burrow into the Arctic ice

31:43

but can identify the jawbone? Be

31:45

at Yeah Rock Collection. John Doe

31:47

owes me a drink a half

31:49

and a few of us are

31:51

according to Rise Source Cnn the

31:53

cohort. Used data from Jed

31:55

Match Pro and Family Tree

31:58

Dna to examine seven. He

32:00

genetic match is to develop

32:02

a hypothesis that the jawbone

32:04

belonged to a man named

32:06

Everett Leland Jaeger. Ask me

32:08

to explain that further. I

32:10

absolutely cannot. This is above

32:12

my pay grade. Okay, but

32:14

anyway. they railed the beep

32:16

boop and do whatever they

32:18

needed to do. Two more

32:20

or less identify who this

32:22

jawbone might belong to me.

32:24

Now, Everett Leland Jaeger actually

32:26

died in a Millet Terry

32:28

training exercise back in July

32:30

of Nineteen Fifty One in

32:32

Riverside County, California and he

32:34

had been given a proper

32:36

military burial suit. This discovery

32:38

was really screwing grave robber

32:41

who know or the mass

32:43

to be Cb. The Is

32:45

of the Boot Camp team

32:47

shared this information with the

32:49

Yavapai County Sheriff's Office, who

32:51

ended up contacting Jaegers next

32:53

of kin to confirm a

32:55

Dna, a relationship to his

32:57

closest living relative and him

32:59

a reference sample. Collected from

33:01

Jaegers daughter led to the

33:03

positive identification of Yeager in

33:05

March. Two thousand and Twenty

33:07

Four Attaboy? Yes. And so

33:09

after that plans were made

33:11

to return the remains to

33:13

his family. which is really

33:15

fucking cool. Me were able

33:17

after twenty years to identify

33:19

who this random piece of

33:21

human remains belonged to and

33:23

they were able to return

33:25

it to the family. However,

33:27

one big mystery remains and

33:29

may. Never be solved. How

33:31

the fuck on his jaw bone

33:34

get in Arizona? Yeah, he died

33:36

in California or Harper. and yeah

33:38

yeah know the best to theory

33:41

that is being floated around right

33:43

now is that it had been

33:45

picked up and basically moved across

33:48

the country by a bird. dot

33:51

allow i don't know what birds do it all

33:53

that i'm fucked up little mac yeah but i

33:56

mean given that he had a proper burial his

33:58

jawbone would have had to resurfaced Somehow,

34:00

so I don't know what's going on

34:02

in this situation But anyway, that is

34:04

the best theory that they have but

34:06

ultimately the point is this jawbone has

34:09

been reunited So if he's a ghost

34:11

maybe he can rest peacefully now. Oh,

34:13

yeah. Yeah one would like to hope

34:15

exactly But anyway, I

34:17

just want to give a big our

34:19

our to my source CNN comm again

34:22

for the article A man found a

34:24

jawbone or sorry a mom found a

35:39

the hero. We didn't know we needed

35:42

etc Well move

35:44

35:48

I don't think I've ever heard anybody called spider-man a bitch Get

35:51

ready cuz you know why I'm calling

35:54

them out move over bitch Because

35:58

see all Boys on the town. Oh

36:00

boy, yeah, even though he's nine,

36:02

he may be all the hope

36:04

we have as a society. I

36:06

mean, sea eagles are capable of

36:09

a lot of shit rail and

36:11

so are nine year old. So

36:13

I'm years ago a boy named

36:15

Cooper V now nine year old

36:17

Cooper from Chesterfield in Derbyshire, England

36:19

was out enjoying a tuna sandwich

36:21

by the seaside as one does

36:24

when he was unceremoniously attacked by

36:26

a goal. Oh yeah right. Love

36:28

that grew up and that maritime.

36:30

Life. I know that five but A

36:32

will steal your snacks and will you

36:34

don't give off for they will. And

36:37

the this one especially didn't because this

36:39

one Nypd Cooper a child dead kid

36:41

as he tried to take the kids

36:44

food right. adding insult to injury. So

36:46

ever since then Cooper just had this

36:48

lake. Uncanny ability to impersonate a

36:51

golf probably during the retailer. Things I

36:53

like to think he was Nypd buy

36:55

a goal and suddenly he was able

36:57

to you know reproduce are call is

37:00

doughboy yeah exactly and will that and

37:02

yeah baby it has seen the harvest.

37:04

ah say that and late one may

37:06

not think that's a handy towns have

37:09

a to in the Golan Prussian The

37:11

tubes take him at all the way

37:13

to the bank and recently attended the

37:15

East Sea Gulls Streets In competition in

37:18

Japan. Heard of Hannah Suspense. And

37:20

way to the competition. And

37:22

of course is a goal

37:24

Screeching com be at is

37:26

all screwed imitation competition. He

37:28

scored ninety two. I have

37:30

a possible one hundred that's

37:32

impressive. That's the guy. a

37:34

plus. Yeah, pretty much he

37:36

has swagger. Yeah, yawn says

37:38

who's a marine biologists who

37:41

served on the judges panel

37:43

actually said about Cooper's Slayer

37:45

when quote he managed to

37:47

include several call types in.

37:49

his performance and each of them

37:51

resembled a real siegel call in

37:53

the most impressive way into fact

37:55

for me he was not only

37:57

the best of the young participants

37:59

but all those who took part

38:01

in the championship. Fucking A.

38:04

He better put some respect on Cooper's name. Right?

38:06

And he's 9 years old? Yeah,

38:08

and this is a marine biologist saying

38:10

this shit. So Yandze has went on

38:12

to say about Cooper, quote, we pay

38:14

attention to timbre rhythm as well as

38:16

variation. After all, Seagulls have

38:19

a fairly- sorry, I

38:21

should really put more respect on Yandas

38:23

quote like that. After

38:25

all, Seagulls have a fairly extensive

38:27

repertoire of sounds ranging from alarm

38:29

calls to long calls that make

38:31

it clear that they do not

38:34

want any unwanted intruders in their

38:36

territory, end quote. Oh,

38:38

okay. Yeah. Yeah, it's true. It's multi-faceted.

38:40

Well, I mean, if you sit by

38:43

the seaside and you really listen to

38:45

the Seagulls, yeah, it's a full medley

38:47

of sound. Well, and I will say

38:49

as somebody who did sound designer or

38:52

sound design for maritime theater, like I

38:54

particularly remember on one show, set in

38:56

Grosborn, Newfoundland, where I had to parse

38:59

out different turn and gull calls. Like

39:01

I think I had to have like

39:03

the North Atlantic turn and then like

39:05

a few other ones, but there are

39:08

like very distinct differences between them. Sure. So

39:10

it's pretty fucking cool that Cooper was able

39:12

to do this. Yeah. And like,

39:15

yeah, he was decked out in

39:17

full gull regalia as he did

39:19

it. So he not only like

39:22

brought the performance with the voice,

39:24

he not only emasumacked it out

39:26

all over their asses and bird

39:28

sounds, but he quite legitimately was

39:30

the gall. He looked the part,

39:33

he lived it. His little sister

39:35

brought a big foam chip, like

39:37

triangle. Like, you know, people like a

39:40

fry. Yeah. Like the fries down by

39:42

the seaside and the cones. Yeah. She

39:44

had like a, like a fucking foam

39:46

fry cone and he was just dipping

39:48

it and we're like, yeah. Oh my

39:50

God. It's fully immersive. Yeah. That's what

39:52

I'm saying. It was a full performance.

39:54

The whole family was involved. He's a

39:56

method actor. Cooper slayed these hoes. Yeah,

40:00

it's iconic behavior from the youth and I

40:02

am glad to see it. It's also cool

40:04

for the gulls because as Jan did say

40:06

in the article that I will be sourcing,

40:09

quote, it is more fun or sorry, it

40:11

is more than fun and entertainment. It is

40:13

also meant to elicit some sympathy for seagulls,

40:15

which are an essential element of our coasts,

40:17

but are often malign the sprats of the

40:19

sea. It's true. Yeah.

40:22

Yeah. People do give up gulls

40:24

a really hard time. Exactly. And it's like they're

40:27

not doing anything other than trying to eat.

40:29

Right? You would too. Yeah.

40:32

Yeah. Just be nice. Exactly.

40:35

Yeah. So anyway, I want to

40:37

say a big congratulations to everyone involved. This is such

40:39

a cool competition. I wish to make it go see

40:41

something like this live. I know. I don't know. I

40:44

grew up hearing gulls. So it's just, it hits close

40:46

to my heart. It must be like people, you know,

40:49

who grew up on hog farms when they see people

40:51

doing those like hog call competition. Those are great too.

40:53

It's like, yeah, you must get your heartstrings going, right?

40:55

Yes. Am I right? Anyway.

40:58

Definitely. So, for

41:00

seagull boy nine wins European screeching

41:02

competition published by Caroline Lowbridge on

41:04

April 22nd, a 2024. Oh

41:08

hell yeah. And

41:11

we hope to see more great things

41:13

in the future for Cooper. Absolutely. Even

41:15

if you decide that this is like

41:17

the pinnacle of your gullmanship and that's

41:19

where you want to leave it. That's

41:22

so cool. Yeah. You're an

41:24

icon. Exactly.

41:27

Yeah. You had that moment though. I'm

41:30

a god star. Kind of. Without all the

41:32

toxic stuff. It's true. So

41:34

get it. Yeah. All right. of

41:38

the day? Yes. All right. Well,

41:41

this is actually some good news, some heartwarming

41:43

news to end the day. Okay. And

41:46

we have Annie to thank for this.

41:48

So Annie is a spooky bitch from

41:50

Sacramento who sent in this piece of

41:53

local news to us. But before I

41:55

do get into it, I do also

41:57

want to give a big hour

41:59

hour. to Annie's kid

42:01

who is gonna be celebrating

42:03

their fifth birthday on May

42:05

6th. Aww. They listen to

42:07

the show. They are also a spooky bee.

42:10

Aww. So we just wanted to give a

42:13

big happy birthday to you. Happy

42:15

birthday. And we hope you have a

42:17

wonderful day and get that cake. Absolutely.

42:19

Mm-hmm. And you know what? This is

42:21

your day to be rotted to people.

42:23

Yeah, exactly. No one can tell you

42:25

what to do. Oh, absolutely. Unless it's

42:28

your mom. You know what? Steal a

42:30

car. Just try it. Try that

42:32

off for size. Maybe don't. No. Don't

42:34

listen to Johnny. No, please don't. Johnny's

42:36

full of bad ideas. I'm very full

42:38

of bad ideas. Birthdays are for cake,

42:41

maybe a couple of gifts. Not stealing

42:43

cars. Not at all. No, not till

42:45

you learn to hop while you're at

42:47

least. That's right. But anyway, on that

42:49

note, let's get into the news. Okay.

42:52

So according to CBS News, a soon-to-be

42:54

mom from Sacramento named Samantha Pruitt was

42:56

driving down a very busy road when

42:58

she noticed something very small and

43:00

fuzzy in the middle of

43:03

that very busy road.

43:05

Okay. Now, Samantha saw

43:07

other cars swerving around

43:09

this little mound, which

43:11

at this point she assumed was it

43:13

a tiny animal. Sure. In my mind,

43:16

for some reason, I'm imagining that hat

43:18

bobble that somebody thought was a hedgehog.

43:20

Right. From a few episodes ago. It's

43:22

just somebody's scrunchie or something. Exactly. Somebody's

43:24

winter hat. Just pom-poms. Yeah. Anyway. But

43:26

basically, people were swerving to not hit,

43:29

but nobody was stopping until Samantha decided

43:31

that she was going to be the

43:34

one to stop. So

43:36

when Samantha got out of the car

43:38

and walked up to this fuzzy little

43:40

thing on the ground, Samantha realized that

43:43

it was a drum roll,

43:45

please. Oh, you actually

43:47

want me to do a drum roll? I do. Sorry, my hands are

43:49

full. It's okay. Wait, I got

43:51

to get a rhythm. Yeah. I'm not

43:53

going any faster. Okay. Yeah. It was

43:55

a baby otter. Oh, that's so

43:58

sweet. Watch out. It'll kill you. Well,

44:00

it wants your blood. It does it

44:02

wants to drink your bones. It really

44:05

doesn't movie It doesn't this little baby

44:07

otters just stuck on the road Uh-huh

44:09

and according to Samantha it was moving

44:11

and it was crying Really

44:13

and there was a little bit of blood on the

44:15

ground around it because he just ate

44:17

a human Right cuz I can knows what

44:20

your red blood cells taste like it knows

44:22

what your white blood cells taste like it

44:24

can separate the taste Of the

44:26

blood in its mouth. They don't get a lust

44:28

for blood until they're all grown up. That's true

44:30

This is just a little baby. That's very I'm just

44:33

kidding. I see fucking love otter They're so fucking cute

44:35

people said a lot of videos all the time. They're

44:37

like see if they're not awful. It's like Whatever

44:40

we adopted an otter on behalf of the spooky

44:42

bitchy Which we never actually

44:45

named and this is more this

44:47

was more of like a symbolic

44:49

symbolic adoption because you're just Basically

44:51

donating money to the preservation of

44:53

wild otter but y'all I get

44:55

so much male like

44:57

physical male from the Canadian Wildlife Federation

45:01

Like I guess you're welcome We've

45:04

saved an otter. We've killed a few trees

45:06

definitely did Yeah, maybe we maybe we

45:08

can opt out of paper I would

45:10

really like to not entirely really sick of

45:13

getting it anyway, but anyway, we're getting

45:15

way off track The point is Samantha

45:17

Pruitt who again was pregnant at the time

45:19

Stopped her car in the middle of a

45:22

busy road to rescue this little baby otter

45:24

that was crying and bleeding in the middle

45:26

of the road Yeah,

45:30

okay, so Samantha basically picked up

45:32

this little creature She knew that she needed

45:34

to be the one to help him and

45:36

she ended up bringing it to her car

45:39

She didn't know exactly what to

45:41

do in this scenario. So she

45:43

thought to try calling animal control

45:45

But unfortunately since animal control only

45:47

deals with cats and dogs. They

45:49

were not able to help her

45:51

Well, can they offer some suggest

45:53

ease? Well, I don't know if

45:55

they could however Samantha ended up

45:57

going to the next door app

46:00

Okay, and people on there were

46:02

actually able to help put her

46:04

in touch with the wildlife care

46:06

association Yeah, that makes sense Yeah

46:08

It's just like no offense to a

46:10

shelter But it just feels like they'd be like well here

46:12

are the wildlife people to talk to yeah You think that

46:14

there would be kind of a bit more of a streamline,

46:16

but I don't I don't know I don't have a way

46:19

I don't have the transcript. I'm not here to listen The

46:22

point is people in the community were able

46:24

to point her in the right direction and

46:26

Samantha was able to drop the baby otter

46:29

off to the wildlife care association Great

46:31

now in kind of trying to understand

46:33

what had happened It's believed that the

46:35

mother of this baby otter might have

46:37

actually lost them while trying to cross

46:39

the road to get to the nearby

46:41

Canal and maybe it didn't who

46:44

knows maybe they didn't realize that the baby

46:46

wasn't following them or maybe they It

46:49

was too dangerous for them to cross

46:51

back. I don't know. I'm not in

46:53

that mama otters brain The point is

46:56

this baby was unfortunately abandoned for some

46:58

reason or another now Thankfully the blood

47:00

that was found was superficial Yeah,

47:02

this otter just have like a

47:04

little little owie on the tip

47:06

of their tail. Oh good So

47:10

according to the wildlife care association the otter

47:12

is expected to make a full recovery And

47:15

will hopefully be able to be returned to

47:17

the wild when they are old enough to

47:19

do so Now also

47:21

according to Annie who sent this story

47:23

into us because again They're from Sacramento

47:25

from the area where this happened otters

47:28

just aren't really expected to be anywhere

47:31

near Sacramento Generally, they're not like a

47:33

really pop in population But so the

47:35

fact that this otter ended up in

47:37

the middle of a busy road is

47:39

just like very strange and unusual from

47:41

the area But ultimately it's

47:43

great to see that this story

47:45

did have a happy ending And

47:48

if you want to help look after this little

47:50

baby otter You could consider

47:52

donating to the wildlife care association

47:54

in Sacramento as they do rely

47:56

on Donations to

47:58

rescue rehabilitate and release wild

48:00

animals. I guess they care for about 7,000 animals

48:02

a year. And they've been

48:05

operating since 1975 and have helped more than 300,000

48:07

wildlife animals, which is

48:13

really fucking cool. Yeah, iconic. I

48:15

guess they have like a big

48:17

fundraising day on May 2nd.

48:20

So again, if you want to,

48:22

you can definitely donate to this

48:24

organization. It's a very good cause.

48:27

But with that being said, again, I want

48:29

to give a big thanks to Annie for

48:31

sending this into us and a big aua

48:33

aua to Annie and all her little spooky

48:35

bitches. And I also do

48:37

want to thank my news source CBS

50:21

we are not advice professionals and we did not

50:23

take the place of like therapists and

50:25

all that stuff in case you couldn't tell. Girl,

50:28

it's for liability purposes. It's true. And

50:31

also like considering the fact that Johnny just

50:33

told a five year old to commit grand

50:36

theft auto on their birthday should be a

50:38

good signifier that we are not advice professionals.

50:40

Well, exactly. But just in case someone wants

50:42

to try to get cute, I'm just going

50:45

to set the record straight. Yes. Now,

50:47

with that being said, I've got five minutes

50:49

with a contingency on the timer. Do you

50:52

have the question? I do. That'd

50:54

be beautiful. That's French for questions, by the way. Let's

50:56

get into this shit. Let's

50:58

do it. So the first question is, what should

51:01

my next manicure be? Any

51:04

recommendation? I'm going to

51:06

say like a silver

51:08

chrome metallic. Hell yeah.

51:11

Like the powders. Yeah. It

51:13

looks really fucking cool. It is the moment. I

51:15

love it. Okay. What should my

51:18

partner name their green bottle blue tarantula? Oh,

51:20

they're so gorgeous. I know. Mary

51:22

is a Brazilian blue dwarf that

51:24

has a very similar coloring. Oh,

51:27

gosh. I don't know. I really struggled

51:29

to find a name for Mary. Yeah. So

51:32

I would just say maybe you look to

51:34

the things that you love. I ended up

51:36

naming Mary after Mary Shelley, the author of

51:38

Frankenstein. I'm very happy with that

51:40

choice. So I feel like that

51:42

is, if you're lost for names, that is

51:44

maybe a good direction to go. Find like

51:47

a movie or a book or a piece

51:49

of pop culture that you love and try

51:51

and farm a name from there. Absolutely. Or

51:53

Madam Web. There you go. There you go.

51:56

That's great. Why am I calling everything iconic

51:58

today? Oh, wait. That's why yeah,

52:01

okay any advice for an introvert who will

52:03

be hosting their first paint night That's

52:06

very fun, okay, I Honestly

52:10

just go with the flow

52:12

it's chill low stakes It's

52:15

casual everybody is there to just have a

52:17

good time remind yourself if people just want

52:19

to see you succeed Exactly.

52:21

Yeah, and nobody is there to just

52:51

don't worry about that exactly

52:54

suggestions for yummy high

52:56

protein vegetarian meals Yeah

52:59

protein is very challenging when you are vegetarian

53:01

I will say because you're basically relying on

53:03

like beans. Yeah,

53:05

oh and like I'm pescatarian So I

53:07

like even I rely on fish a

53:09

lot as my main source of protein

53:11

Yeah, I love crispy tofu if you

53:13

like are looking for like a way

53:15

to switch things up on the tofu

53:18

front I know that can be a

53:20

really great source of protein. Yeah, but

53:22

honestly like go for a good old

53:24

burrito bowl If you can

53:26

like you get you can just load it up with

53:28

beans get a lot of protein that way and If

53:31

you put a sweet potato on top, like I

53:34

love a sweet potato burrito bowl. Yeah, it's so

53:36

fucking good I'm sure there are tons of recipes

53:38

out there I don't have one handy, but that's

53:40

what I would recommend and honestly if you really

53:42

are having a hard time coming up with some

53:45

ideas There's no shame in talking

53:47

to a nutritionist or anything like that. Yeah, cuz

53:49

maybe the answer is having like a protein shake

53:51

or something Yeah, I don't know

53:54

what is right for you, but it could

53:56

be something as simple as that. Yeah, or

53:58

like we're a chicken Like beyond

54:00

beef or stuff like that like I love

54:03

54:39

so yeah choose your flavor there total

54:42

introvert Who wants to make friends suggestions,

54:44

please? I feel

54:46

like when we've answered questions like this

54:48

in the past my my Response to

54:50

it is to find some kind of

54:52

like club or association that you can

54:54

enjoy or maybe or join or Maybe

54:57

some kind of class where you can be with people

54:59

who have like a shared interest Yeah, can

55:01

be just like a natural icebreaker. Yeah,

55:03

it's just nice to have things as

55:05

a buffer because there is no magic

55:07

formula Yeah, honestly, exactly moved into my fiance's

55:09

house, but still feel like a guest

55:11

in his house tips to make it

55:13

feel ours maybe have

55:16

a conversation with him and ask if There

55:19

is like room for you to bring in some of

55:21

your own decor or maybe you can go out If

55:24

you have the budget to do it and find

55:26

some things for your house that you're pick out

55:29

together Yeah, and then slowly and surely it

55:31

can kind of feel like a shared

55:33

space I'm sure if they're your fiance,

55:35

they want to spend their entire life

55:37

with you Therefore they are probably willing

55:40

to to give you space But if

55:42

you don't ask for it, somebody might

55:44

not necessarily know as well because

55:46

people different people have different Priorities

55:49

And some people don't really prioritize making

55:51

a space feel as comfortable as maybe

55:53

you do. Yeah, so maybe you guys

55:55

can paint together. Maybe You can install

55:57

some shelving together. Yeah, you can mop.

56:00

The Floor with you on T

56:02

together. you know the Dm thing

56:04

to kind of make it your

56:06

own. Yes, How do I seek

56:08

the existential dread surrounding upcoming finals?

56:10

Or it's temporary. It's going to be

56:12

over so quickly and it's going to

56:14

be such a mad-towards it and you're

56:17

gonna be like stress. You can be

56:19

pulling long hours, but then it will

56:21

be. Oh yeah, I remember the other

56:23

side the Zack and just use that.

56:25

The ground here saw One hundred Percent

56:27

solid. A Museum of Industry or Science

56:29

Center. Who? The Museum of Industry is

56:32

cool. I see an hour images from

56:34

of Perforce. Okay, yeah, I'll go with

56:36

our recommendation if it. if it's the

56:38

museum. I'm thinking of Orbits as a.

56:40

General Museum of Industry as the think that's

56:42

cool. Yeah I love Zola Museum date so

56:45

it's a win win. Honestly I like honestly

56:47

ottoman because I want a tattoo of three

56:49

three three the time my daughter was born

56:51

and course ah where should I put it

56:53

to pay? Well I mean it's very personal

56:56

and kind of depends on the if you

56:58

already have other tattoos are not etc but

57:00

honestly I was just give it a consideration

57:02

of if you wanted to be something that

57:04

is with to be seen or if he

57:07

just wanted to be for you isn't and

57:09

if you wanted to be something. Just for

57:11

you. Maybe try to find your favorite little

57:13

a curve or contour of your body and

57:15

put it on that and highlighted with that.

57:17

Absolutely love the way your classical looks when

57:19

it pops out or something like that. Maybe

57:22

put it on that are on a fucking

57:24

now. Didn't like the i'm just yeah it's

57:26

your body. I mean it depends on how

57:28

many tattoos you wanna have, how many tattoos

57:30

you already have. Yeah, I'm so it's definitely

57:32

a good to Just like speak with your

57:34

tattoo artist. Honestly, that will be the person

57:36

who'll be able to give you the best

57:39

advice you there's the timer. but. I'm just

57:41

instinctively if I was getting say I didn't

57:43

have a lot of tattoos but I was

57:45

getting like one meaningful tattoo. I probably would

57:47

get it somewhere on my body. Yeah that

57:49

kind of moves like me be near a

57:51

wrist or near the bend in the army.

57:54

A wrist girl yeah I'd usually comes to

57:56

my would necessarily just like put it in

57:58

the middle of my lake. Upper.

58:00

Arm for example because also maybe someday

58:03

you will want to get more tattoos

58:05

and that the prime spot for like

58:07

a bigger tattoo that smile So really

58:09

just kind of express what you want

58:12

out of this tattoo with your tattoo

58:14

artist and he's also the same. Tattoo

58:16

artists do not mind repositioning things over

58:18

and over and over again. They want

58:20

you to be completely happy with the

58:23

placement. so don't just say you like

58:25

the placement because you don't want to

58:27

feel like you're inconveniencing someone. They they

58:29

do not. Care now Frost they want

58:31

you to love. It's absolutely okay now the

58:34

time has gone so let's rapid fire if

58:36

you'd as I feel at ease com a

58:38

little bit blouse in the summer. Answer: So

58:40

guess what color? So I paid my barn.

58:44

Through. Gritted

58:46

Good. Or here are that's

58:48

actually what I was thinking. okay, I

58:50

need some queer art from my apartment.

58:52

Have any idea is oh hell yeah.

58:55

There's so many clear artists out there.

58:57

And if you're looking to maybe support

58:59

multiple artists without spending like an incredible

59:02

amount of money because original art can

59:04

be expensive, look for artists who sell

59:06

prints because you can definitely get like

59:09

maybe five prince for one hundred dollars

59:11

versus one painting for like three hundred

59:13

dollars. Absolutely com and with you suppose.

59:16

I had none at the moment of

59:18

yeah my source close watch this space

59:20

okay I'm a how to cope with

59:23

a chaotic a half car office environment.

59:25

Oh gosh number new depends on where

59:27

the chaos is coming from. Is a

59:29

chaos coming from a coworker is the

59:32

chaos kind for management. all of the

59:34

has really makes a difference by a

59:36

taser they're not to bring it worked

59:38

about his maybe you could buy to

59:40

the noise cancelling it earphones as what

59:43

he to that lot of don't buy

59:45

a taser please. Don't mind by noise

59:47

cancelling. your by executives are the only

59:49

thing you can control. unfortunately is you

59:52

Bialik. Somebody else also said tips for

59:54

cummings ib while at work. Mouth about

59:56

a noise cancelling headphones One hundred percent.

59:58

Love it. I'm okay. yeah how about

1:00:00

it's or ninth and wedding anniversary? Mario

1:00:03

Kart or movie night. Oh those are

1:00:05

both Monday I would say Mario Kart

1:00:07

to does little bit more active, little

1:00:09

bit more engaging. awesome. And then maybe

1:00:12

you could end with a movie. Maybe

1:00:14

to do both. Ah, now that. I

1:00:17

said I work last two hours of

1:00:20

my shifts for this week on Friday

1:00:22

or just use sick time. Honestly, I

1:00:24

don't know. I'm all for ease and

1:00:26

sick time because sometimes he should be

1:00:28

able to use sick. Time for good

1:00:31

things. Yeah, just because you're feeling ill,

1:00:33

we may frown. Islam's hey friend who's

1:00:35

listening and asked this question. Sounds.

1:00:37

Like you my when he's sick time

1:00:39

or has probably do that, treat yourself.

1:00:41

I let me be the little devil

1:00:43

on your shoulder. Yeah it sounds like

1:00:45

he wanted to. It's of i can

1:00:47

do it or I will have a

1:00:49

few more questions. Let's do the my

1:00:51

outlets actually sit. My next quilt project

1:00:53

be a Barbie quilt for my daughter

1:00:55

or a college t shirt quilt for

1:00:57

me. Treat yourself to the pulled for

1:00:59

yourself. I agree. Yeah, I work and

1:01:01

d I'd assists white company and struggling.

1:01:04

How do I call in and educate

1:01:06

with that environments that can. Be tricky,

1:01:08

nap moodily, I think you kind of

1:01:10

are already on the right up the

1:01:12

like path of. And. Understanding calling

1:01:14

in rather than calling out because

1:01:16

people usually will not respond well

1:01:18

to being called out on something

1:01:20

even if they're completely one hundred

1:01:22

percent wrong. Yeah, it's is gonna

1:01:24

be more chaotic for you so

1:01:27

I think maybe like gentle corrections

1:01:29

are not even corrections but just

1:01:31

like conversations little by little can

1:01:33

maybe help steer people in the

1:01:35

right direction. Yeah, Emilie de Vez

1:01:37

have a diversity coordinator or something

1:01:39

were to add or is someone

1:01:41

that is Hr as a sand

1:01:43

Panhandle's diversity. Being spoken about or educated

1:01:45

upon do you need to do diversity

1:01:47

training to answer? All things are completely

1:01:50

appropriate within an off at one hundred

1:01:52

percent and most of the time if

1:01:54

you do have a h our apartment

1:01:56

you can bring these issues to them

1:01:58

without being. Without. Anybody knowing

1:02:00

that you were the person that brought these issues

1:02:02

to them? Because H R doesn't want to create

1:02:04

conflict, they want to stop it. and they want

1:02:07

to make sure everybody's comfortable in the working environment.

1:02:09

That's very important. Yeah, especially in you know, in

1:02:11

the current Dame Aids? Yeah, How do you say

1:02:13

for transition from a nine to five to owning

1:02:16

your own business? Any tips? Okay, I'm It's not

1:02:18

always a linear path and don't be afraid of

1:02:20

you need to pick up a side hustle at

1:02:22

some point. you know to supplement the bills at

1:02:25

any like. You know what I mean. Sure, it

1:02:27

like it's also good. I'm just saying it's it's

1:02:29

not the. End of the World and

1:02:31

it's just. It's. Just a foot.

1:02:33

It's a bit more rollercoaster moment. You'll have

1:02:35

higher, higher and lower lows if you're going

1:02:38

into the world at like self employment. but

1:02:40

also this idea that you have to be

1:02:42

productive at a certain time of the day

1:02:44

like. From nine to five is completely

1:02:46

false. New can do a little bit of

1:02:48

work in the morning, you could do a

1:02:51

lot of work at night, and you can

1:02:53

just kind of figure out what flow works

1:02:55

best for you. Such a kind of like

1:02:57

you might find your more productive if you

1:02:59

kind of do your work in little chunks

1:03:01

and it's gonna feel wrong because we as

1:03:03

a society have been told that we just

1:03:05

need to be like grinding ourselves into the

1:03:08

fucking ground in own I mean absolute break

1:03:10

up and and find the flow that works

1:03:12

for? Yeah, totally. I can't decide to me

1:03:14

aquarium or the zoo for my birthday. Who

1:03:16

I would do the aquarium personally as

1:03:18

same Yeah okay get the Fat Cow

1:03:20

plus or the Sad Bear plush Aurora

1:03:23

brand already have the sadness. I don't

1:03:25

know what the says but I don't

1:03:27

have enough Fat Cow sounds cute yeah

1:03:29

but they know that bear makes me

1:03:31

think of that they are weak and

1:03:33

then million really fun. Okay so our

1:03:36

nation divided. We are nice and divide

1:03:38

it. So yeah it's up to you

1:03:40

to decide which one you ultimately what

1:03:42

I'm sorry result of this is and

1:03:44
