The conversation centers on the parenting journey of a family with a young child, Tony, who exhibits a striking blend of features from both parents—particularly resembling Mariah’s face and the parent’s lips. The family shares their joy and admiration for Mariah’s active role in teaching Tony gymnastics, highlighting the deep trust and bonding that comes from being coached by someone who’s experienced in the field. The discussion expands to explore internet culture, such as the trend of swapping baby images to misgender children, which sparks strong reactions and debates. The family is preparing for a trip to South Africa, initially to Kenya and later shifting to a more southern destination, where they’ll experience a safari and connect with local culture, including the iconic South African band Lady Smith Black Mombazo. Concerns about health, such as yellow fever, bug bites, and hygiene, are addressed with practical precautions. The hosts also express anxiety about encountering wild animals like rhinos or cheetahs, acknowledging the emotional intensity of such an adventure. A deeper layer of vulnerability emerges when they discuss personal habits, like re-starting vaping, revealing emotional struggles and the challenges of quitting. The tone is playful yet reflective, blending humor with genuine emotional honesty, showing a family navigating both parenting and personal growth in a global context.
Tudy patudi. Oh my gosh. He's such a perfect blend of you too. I know. It's crazy. He had gymnastics class earlier today. Oh wait. I want to get into that. Do you think Tony Doe has more of your profile in Mariah's face or Mariah's profile in your face? I was feeling like when they're like a baby. He has my side profile. I think right now. Yeah. But I feel like it's so weird. I feel like he has all of Mariah's features. Interesting. He has Mariah's eyebrows. His eyes, eyebrows, like this whole section feels like Mariah. But he definitely got my juicy lips. You know what I mean? Yeah. It's tough because I'm not like when I'm looking because he's a boy, I'm seeing more of like her family's features than her. I know what you mean. I'm seeing like her brothers a little bit more than Mariah. Have you seen that trend where it's like you put two babies next to each other? They're not usually twins, but it's like maybe they're cousins, but they're like around the same size. And then you put one of them in like boy clothes and the other and girl clothes. And then you switch it in the internet. You can't tell which one's a boy or a girl. And the internet gets so dirty when they're like that young. Yes, when they're that little, like you put the little bow in their hair on one and the little girl. And then when you have both of you, you're like, yeah, that's it. And then when they flip it, you're like, wait, no, that's definitely it. And then it goes back. You're like, yeah, no, I don't know. I'm not on baby TikTok right now. I should I need to like a couple of videos and I'll start seeing some videos. But you took told me to his first gymnastics class. Yeah, a little jam or something or yeah, it's kind of like a little kids type gymnasium spot where they do like classes. There's like an instructor. There's maybe like 15 kids in there. It's just so cute, man. Like he has no idea what's going on. But he's just looking around. He's yeah, he's a warm circles. Oh, it's awesome. Oh, that's great. Is he on like a like a big class or is it like a small class of other kids? I feel like normal 15 kids. It's not like a huge group or anything. But it's like you don't too many kids because you want a little attention on your kid. But like you want to you want to keep a bougie too. You want a little private class. A little private sex. Yeah. I mean, he's on a balance beam. He was doing his steps. Tony, he's going to be able to do like a back tuck by the time he's five. He's going to get like one of those like the ramp kind of cushions and you're going to be down there just doing flit. You know what? Oh, already. So we have like the whole little like kids one with like the round foam ones and then the blocks that you could stack. So you could like do the rolling over. Mariah's got him doing it all. That's good. Like if my mom could do a backflip and she didn't teach me when I was let it I'd be pissed. Yeah. Yeah. Like mom, are you kidding me? Like I can barely move my back right now. And you're out here doing backflip. So like it's good that Mariah is like trying to because I want my kid doing backflips. That's sick. And if you're getting spotted by your parent who knows how to do it, that trust is so strong. Because that's the whole thing is like when you're learning how to flip, you have to be spotted by someone who knows how to do it. Yeah. And it takes so much guts to like flip over. But if you have, Matt, did you see the video of him standing in my hand? No. I don't think so. Oh, you haven't seen it. No. I'll show. I'll show him. And this is sorry. Listeners. This is on their private family account that we'll be getting access to. I think our listeners are like, wait, I missed it. That was like a month ago. And Zayn was like, how did you know he could do that? I was like, I didn't. We just kind of just try and win for it. And he's in this little tune squad outfit. How cute. Cheers. Athletics. Whoa. Hey, that is some that is amazing. Isn't that so fun? Like he's so little. I can't, I can't get over it. That's something you can only do with your child. Everyone else is just like, I just made that. Please don't. But like once you're so comfortable and you have all your dad instincts to catch him when they fall and you know where it's going. Yeah. That's so cool. Seeing the way Mariah is like coaching him to do these things. Like she taught class to kids like her whole life. So it's like we have at home lessons all the time. Yeah. It's pretty, it's pretty cool. But yeah, he had his class and then just, you know, got some stuff done around here. Now we're hanging out with chit chat and doing the thing painting the garage today. So you know, just I'm on my, I'm on my move that bus type shit right now. Absolutely. That's good. Always surprising Mariah every week with it was something done. Yeah. But it's all the stuff that's in the basement in the garage. Yeah. It's like, I just want the kitchen in the bathroom. Yeah. Like, I know. I know that bus. Yeah. What do you guys have to do? Everything good? Everything good here. I leave for South Africa tomorrow. So you are going to Africa. Did plans change? Did you say you were going to Kenya? Yes. First, first we're going to Kenya and then we last minute switch to Johanna's Berg, which is more South. Yeah. Of Africa. We're doing the same excursion, so like still Safari, but we are just doing it there and said awesome. And first time for you in Africa, you went to Egypt. Yeah. So Egypt, it counts. It does count. Yes, but in my head, Egypt does not, like, when I think of Egypt, I don't think of Africa. I think of the middle east because obviously, like, I've been to Lebanon so many times. And to me, that, like, that whole area to me is a different, it's a different continent. Correct. Like, I mean, the middle east is Asia and think of Africa. Just because it's all Arabs. Yeah. And I know there's Arabs in Asia. I know there's Arabs in Africa. It just coming, like someone that grew up in Lebanon, it just feels different. It's giving Middle East. Yeah. Middle East is its own continent. It's weird. I mean, it's basically right there. Yeah, but Egypt, I think, is the only part of Africa I've ever been to. If can you zoom out of them? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Are you going to go to Cape Town and stuff? I bet you will. I'm not sure. I think a lot of what we're doing is in, like, kind of, again, in the middle of. Johannesburg is that north of South Africa. I didn't realize that. I thought, like, Cape Town and Johannesburg were, like, all kind of western Cape. We fly into Johannesburg, but then we have to fly somewhere remote to do all the activities and expressions. Okay. So we're not, like, in the city. But, we'll see. I mean, anything can change. I'm really excited. Are you going to see Lady Smith Black Mombazo? I'm sorry. What? What is that? Is that an indie band? What is that? You love Lady Smith back Mombazo? Yeah. Her mean girls, the mom. These are the fertility bosses of the underbelly tribe. Doesn't that mean anything to you? You and Heath have an incredible memory with little small scenes and movies. It's insane. Yeah. Lady Smith Black Mombazo is in South Africa is where they got their start. There's like so many of people in Lady Smith Black Mombazo. You're saying we should definitely try to see this group. Definitely. And you should listen to Paul Simon's Graceland, even though Paul Simon fucked over Lady Smith Black Mombazo, they did not make any money off that album. Fuck Paul Simon. I will never forget that. Hey, but I like Paul Simon again. I'm just hoping it goes smooth. I'm just like a little nervous about the type of travel to get food poisoning. His saying things Hakuuna means no, but all of these worries. There's a lot of like helicopter traveling. I'm a little nervous about. I look it to itinerary and there's like quite a few. And that kills me because I just hate flying in helicopters. But this is how you get to like certain spots that you need to get to. Did you do anything before? I know that you have to get like sometimes a malaria shot before you go to Africa looked it up and it said that you're not you don't need to. It's just kind of like if you want to do it, do it. It's strange, right? Like it's because what we're going is very, it's like private more that's not like it's more remote. It's more remote. So that's why I like I'm not too worried. The only thing that I know that all like people like have been like talking about here and there is it's called like yellow fever and you get it from skiows. I'm a little worried about that. But I'm taking this like I'm going to wear long. So I'm like, again, I don't want to get food poisoning. I don't want to sick sanitize my hands every. Again, again, my, Keith, you know, my nails, you know how I'm like now I'm painting my nails. I'm bringing that nail polish shit to prevent me touching my fingers. Oh, good on you saying like in my fingers touching my face anything like in the moment, like I start to touch my face and it starts burning because the nail polish. I know that okay, put your hands down. Like I really just don't want to catch anything. I wonder if it's like does our bug spray work out there? Is that a dumb question? Like if you're dealing with like a different country's like, you know, dealing with like American mosquitoes. I guess if it's got deep, what is that? Deep. Is that like the active ingredient in bug spray? It used to be I think it was banned. Okay. Well, he looks it up in the guest most U.S. purchase bug sprays work effectively. Which I didn't. You're right. Yeah, 30. I think that's always on the crossword, Keith. And I never know what the hell it is. I got you. Okay, good to know. I was looking up some like tips on like, oh, what did you before a trip out out there, like on a safari, whatever. And it was saying how and I didn't know this at all. Maybe a lot of people did, but Cologne and like scented lotions and stuff is the best not to wear that at all when you're out there that attracts a lot of bugs and shit. I had no idea that attracts bugs. Yes. I think I think it's like just something that smells different. They might be attracted to it, especially with like animals. Like if you're going on a safari, I definitely would not want to have like a sense of lotion. That's so interesting. Something that smells sweet. Why them tigers going to be looking at it. No, that's sweet. No, I didn't. Like I guess because blood is sweet, right? To them. To them. Well, you know, blood tastes like butter. Blood tastes like our own blood in a way. Like if we cut, like, oh, fuck, you do that. It's like it tastes like. It tastes like it tastes like a battery acid. It isn't that like more of the sweet side though than assaulty. No, I think it's bitter. We should get a vampire out there. He can't really tell us the next guest. Yes, a vampire.
Empire. Is there an animal you're excited to see? Like, have you, do you feel like you've seen most popular big animals or I think I've seen most popular big animals. I think one that I'd be super excited about, but little scary is like a, like a hippo rhino or rhino. Oh, right. I, yeah. That would be a rhino. Yeah. Fucking rhino or like a hippo in the wild. I just don't understand. And I'm sure when we're out there, I'm sure we're going to be with guides that are very experienced. They're also going to have like weapons on them to like, if anything happens or go wrong. You're so wrong. It's a full safari hunt. You like. It's like a whole game. Just like potion for ivory. You're like, I did not sign up for this. I can, like I picture being in the car and it's like a fucking fat, like a cheetah or like is starting to sprint towards us. Like it happened. I can't imagine what my body, like that would be a true test of how the fuck you're going to react when something like that happens. Of course, the guides are going to be probably so used to that. Like they'll know exactly what to do. But like, I again, I just hope everything goes well. It's going to be exciting. But also I just know I'm going to be on the edge of my seat and super in the Lion King. Where are they? They are in Africa. I know. But like where in Africa, does the Lion King take place? They have to say where they are at one at some point in the movie, right? The pride lands, which is like. Oh, thank God. We're going to South Africa. Okay. Thank you. We're not going to see no ecosystems of Kenya and Tanzania. Oh, you almost went to the Lion King. Yeah. Oh, you're like, where's Brian Rock? Come on. I'm sure they have something there that kind of resembles this. So they just tell people, look, it's. Yeah. Pride lands. Dude, I'm excited for you to see the trees out there. That's going to be the lands, like just the landscape and everything. That's really sick. Oh, dude, that tree gets me going. Oh, yeah. Wow. Cool. Just like classic African. It looks like a man in May trees. Yeah. It does not look real. It's crazy. Look at the canopy on that thing. But yeah, that's what I'm doing for a week. And then I come back and then I'll see you guys again. It's saying it's going to come back and like trouble. Trouble gear. He just says with different outlook, this ePrey love mentality. I'm trying to. I was thinking about doing a video out there where it's I want it. I want the video to look like I went there alone. Like that's good. They're alone. Like I'm doing everything alone. And whenever we were with an animal, it's just me by myself. And I was going to do like a voiceover, like a like a day at. No, no, no. Well, I can't do an accent because I like genuinely just don't know how to do any accent. But I'm just going to like like Nara Smith, Nara Smith it, but like male version out there by myself. I'm going to see if that works. It might not work though. It's a big work shop it. I'll workshop it. Yeah. Well, Chombo. What do they wear out there in South Africa? Because I genuinely have no clothes to bring because I wasn't going to the public. I feel like banana republics whole aesthetic is like safari sheet. Really? Yeah. Very safari sheet. Like when you go into like banana republic, it's always this like African white person kind of. I haven't been in there in so long. So like I can't remember it. But okay, I'll go. Is there a banana republic around here? Yeah. Yeah. Oh, yeah. This is. Look at he's literally on a safari. Yeah. Like all their photos are usually safari. You have to get one of those tan hard hats. You know what I'm talking about? It's kind of got like you know, shape to it. Matt, you know what I'm talking about the tape, but it's hard like the Hunter and Jumanji kind of. Yeah. Oh, he's my head shape don't fit with that. That's not a good have for my head. Just just like your eyes. I love like that one is sick. The one on the bottom of the belt around that. Yeah. That's cool. They also have the ones with the fans built into it as well. Wait, really? Yeah. Like a safari hat with fans. I have no like I leave tomorrow. Someone left one at my party. Yeah. Oh, Zayn out there being cool. Oh, look at that. And it's got a little solar panel on it, dude. Never have to charge it. And the bugs just be attracted. If you look at the bug net, full bug net would be so funny. I forgot. And I swear shit. It's on a blocker rod like skin the bit the fuck up. We should run that intro. Oh my God. Oh, my goodness. Geez. Three, two, one. It's probably called baby. Oh, shit. Welcome back to Zayn Heath unfiltered. I'm Zayn. I'm Heath. I'm Matt and I'm Jared. And that's if we get attacked. I don't think we're gonna shoot any animal. Oh, you're nice. It would say in the itinerary, like game. Like we're gaming, right? Cause it doesn't say that. Okay. They don't even like their weapons are probably a little more mild. Like you know, like bear spray. I fucking like I hope it's not mild. I mean, if a cheetah's fucking coming after me, I want a rocket launcher launch out that thing. I do not want that thing alive. Cheetah's cheetah's aren't humans aren't natural predators or prey for cheetahs. Okay, then we're good then they say that about alligators too, but then everything is Florida. I just as long as it's not fucking attacking me, that's all. I feel like I've said this in the past. You know, the cheetah girls are not wearing cheetah print. They're wearing leopard print. Yeah. I know. Who got that wrong? Kenny Ortega. I think I think they filmed too much to before they realize it and they're like, fuck, we just got to finish it. But cheetah print, I think does look a little better than leopard. Well, no leopard print looks better than cheetah print or Matt. Cause they filmed the movie, assuming that they were going to name the movie, the leopard ladies after the like, that sounds like shit. Like we cannot call them the leopard ladies. That does not flow right. We're going to call them the cheetah girls. And they're like, but they're wearing leopard array. They're like, no one's going to notice that. But see, some of these Google images of cheetah print, that's wrong. Cause like cheetahs are dots. Cheetahs are dots. Oh, that's leopard is like what you think of when you think of cheetah girl. Yeah, they got it wrong. Well, I mean, look, some like, look, if you look at like close, there's some spots where they do have like a ring with a different color in the middle. Yeah. But that's also, I think that's just the black fading out in the middle. They're getting old. I think called leopards because it like looks like leoporcy. Cause you know, like leoporcy aren't you like covered in like, or did leoporcy come after the word leopard comes from the ancient Greek word Leopardo. Leopardo. It's a spotted cat. Okay. Maybe I'm wrong. You need to learn a lot and a lot of these words come from a lot of our words come from Latin. Oh, yeah. Latin and Greek man. It all comes from the, you know what? I'm going to download do a lingo and I'm going to practice lion. Afrikaans is what they speak in South Africa. It's like, I think the most popular language is Afrikaans. Like Charlize Theron can like speak Afrikaans. I forgot that she's from South America. Yeah. I heard in her mom killed their dad. What's the relationship? Charlize Theron's a mom killed their dad. No, it's not him. Cause he was like an alcoholic and like an abusive father. And it was like sell out of self protection. Yeah. I did not know that either. And then Matt, your, your hero is also from South Africa. Who Elon Musk, your favorite. Oh, he is South African. You're right. Who else? Can you look up every, every sub that was South African? Yeah. Nelson Mandela. Desmond Tutu Trevor Noah. Tyler. Oh, so you know what? Yeah, Elon Musk. That's. Oh, yep. That's my trip. I'm going on tomorrow. I'm going to come back with a hell of, hell of stories. I'm going to be, I'm going to try to be as safe as possible and pray for me. Wish me luck. That's my trip. Do you have any trips coming up? No, I'm going to Tahoe in like two weeks. Oh, going to Tahoe just for like a fun weekend with friends. And then after the boat boat day, yeah, a little boat day for sure. Was Tahoe where I went for the bachelor and you were on the other side of Tahoe? I was in South Lake Tahoe. You were in North Lake. Did I go to a popular spot of Tahoe or were you at a popular spot? We kind of, we're like the really ritzier side of Tahoe is like a lot of like billionaires who are like Silicon Valley billionaires will put their houses on North Lake Tahoe because you can just get into Nevada without having to pay California taxes. Oh, on that side, rather going south. I think that's like the whole strategy up there. Yeah. But South Lake Tahoe is down where like all the casinos are. It's a little like, you know, more touristy casual kind of like camping vibes and stuff. You going with family? No, I'm going with my friend. He has a place up there. So we're doing that. And then, oh, where am I doing after that? I feel like I am traveling somewhere. You just came back from a trip. I did. I went to Denver for my cousin's wedding. Went to Casabanita again for the second time. I'm done for airport. Yeah. The blue horse. Yes. The blue horse. Yes, with Lucifer. Blue Sufer. Blue Sufer. That's the name of and that's a really haunted horse because the sculptor of that horse died while making it. Yes. And it fell on the. That's creative. Yeah. That's no weird. We were just talking about Denver Airport on that podcast. So when you said you flew into Denver, I'm like, oh, my God, it's so crazy. It's almost like the demons are following us. Yes. It's a Denver airport also just has really weird things. People believe it's like a bunker for like the apocalypse. There's that really bizarre painting in there that looks like the end of the world. There's gargoyles down by the baggage claim. Yeah. It's very strange. They got to figure out that whole aesthetic, but they do lean into it. Like during the renovations and stuff, they have this like, what better way to cover it than to lean into it. Yeah. That's true. But went to Casabanita. Moco the gorilla recognized me from the last time I was there. There that's good. Okay. Gave me a gift because you like sign my name. We were going around. I was introducing my cousins. We got to meet. She's like, I know, I know. And she signed M A T T. And I'm like, wait, this place seems really cool. And she gave me a little gift. Oh, where is it? Which is like, I want this little octopus thing. She says to
Matt from Mocha. Oh my. But shout out to Mocha the gorilla at Casa Bonita. Thank you for remembering. Just a little thing that you just keep on the shelf forever. Nice. At a great time. Is this the one where they have like a whole diving show? Yes. They have the cliff divers and stuff. And those are not guests. No, those are local hires. No, who are probably like scouted high school divers or whatever that do this whole show and stuff. They have a puppet show that's incredible. Like all the humor is so because it's Matt's stone and trade Parker who created South Park. Yeah. And the restaurant was around for a long time, but they bought it around like 2020. It was for sale. They thought the renovations were going to cost them like $12.5 million. And it kept getting more expensive. Like they had to redo the whole HVAC system. Every little bit of the restaurant was just like in shambles. Yeah. And it ended up costing them $42 million. Holy Jesus. Like they're getting like, he's having a call. How much are they generating? I think they make, I mean, they make good money. But to get back, I think they're still trying to get even with their profits. You got to sell a lot of food. But they're worth around $1.2 billion. The guy's Matt Stone and trade Parker. But there's a really good paramount plus documentary about them buying it. And it's good to watch it after your first time of going to Costa, Benita. So you can see a little bit more behind the magic, who told you about Costa? Like how did you find this? Because I feel like it's so random that it's in Denver. And unless you see like a lot of people talking about it, which I've never have, like, why would you make my zipper has been undone this whole time? Oh, I didn't notice it. How do I hear about it? South Park culture, the internet, all of that. And when they bought it around 2020 and stuff and it was getting renovated, and it just like officially launched, I think in 2023, I may be wrong or 24. There was just a lot of hype about it. Everyone in Denver's talking about it. I remember seeing tick talks about it. Yeah. So that's how we knew about it. And to become this like Denver staple, truly like as a tourist destination. Yeah. But they also made these like founding member cards. So if you know that you were, if they know that you're a resident of Denver and you knew the cost of Benita before they bought it, you get priority access to reservations and stuff. So they're good about like making it true to the locals. So if he and I are going to go to cost of Benita and Jared too, Emoraya and Tony and you have to go when you're in Denver. No, but I'm saying we have to go with you because you got the end now. We're going to get to you. I hope I hope they are a place that doesn't do like much favoritism, but maybe Mocha will hook it up. We'll see. I finally got someone on the inside. Okay, hmm. Honestly, this place is like given underground tunnels in my life. They have a whole underground black bar. It's cave. They have a whole cave system. You go around and stuff. Oh, is it kind of like that? Wait, like a, like a, like a, like a man made cave for that aesthetic. Yes. Yes. It's like a mini haunted house. It's kind of like the, um, remember in, uh, in Catalina, Island, there was like the restaurant we went to was like very cave. Was it a cave or did it just Catalina? Oh, yeah. We were like a cove. A cove. Yeah. It just felt like a, yeah. It had like rock texture all on the walls. Yeah. Yeah. This, you know what this looks like when you're waiting in line to ride the mommy ride at universal. I mean, it does, it's that level of quality of decoration. It's almost borderline Disney S, which is crazy, by the way. Like that whole lot, like that underground line that they made you feel for that ride is fucking insane. It literally looks like you're inside a pyramid. Like they did an insane job with it. Oh, uh, you know how we talked about how that ride is like, uh, it's making neighbors, uh, making people, uh, uh, uh, pissed off fast and furious ride at universal people are not like they know that this is happening. So there's just war right now with their are now screaming louder on the ride. Oh, to piss off, piss them off more, which I think somebody even called that out. I was like, you don't want to do that because it's just going to make people that are their pissed them off because people that go there, a lot of them, they don't live there. They're traveling, right? And then they see that they're like, who gives a fuck of people that live around here? You, you, you, you've also has been here since the job. So it's like, if you're going to buy a house next to rides and you're going to hear screams, that's too fucking bad. We're going to scream louder because it pisses you off. I'm so curious to see if they end up changing anything or it's just like, sorry, guys. It is what it is. They make you wear muscles. A fucking ball gag while riding. I wonder if you could like project out a sound in that direction, but almost like a white noise to wear it from a far distance, you wouldn't be able to hear, but the sound so loud, it muffles the sound of the screams that that's possible. That's where my head is at. If you had a think of a solution, they think they, they, uh, they do a collab with Bose thinking that just giving nape like everybody around like fancy headphones. It's just going to do the trick is like, Hey, so we decided to give everybody a little basket. It's like a bottle of wine and headphones. It's like, no, they'd have to deliver something every morning. Yeah. Like to, to make up for it, I'd be like, no, I want breakfast every day. Yeah. Or like, you know what? If I was dumb, I would give them free passes like lifetime passes. Like you guys can come enjoy the park for free whenever you want. But I think that's a great deal. How's on the cut off where you still hear it, but they just can't go there. But that's how, you know, that's how they do it though. They, they probably walk the streets and be like, is this, is this, do you hear this? And yep, you hear, okay, give them free passes, which do that costs them no money to get free passes. But the people already rich. They're like cool. I could have bought free passes from my whole family. Like they're like, is that enough? I guess, I guess. To look at like everybody there is rich, right? Like, what if we throw in free soda refilled? As long as I get that big soda refilled cup with a straw like that, Star Wars themed. I want it. Did you see the kid that fell off of the ride that the water one? I think it's Jurassic Park. I thought it was AI first for all. He for so long. Am I? That was so scary. I can't fully fell off a water. Right. Like you bit when before it drops, he like fell off like a roll down drop. Oh my gosh. So this is that. Oh, we, it's right there. The second one. This is Tony. Oh no, this is Tonya's by you at Disneyland. The news Disney. That's what it was. She on his by you adventures where he fell off the 13 year old boy climbed out. So he climbed out of his log vehicle before the 50 foot drill. Yeah, look at that. Geez. Oh my gosh. Well, so what happened? Were they? Was he scared? Like he didn't want to drop anymore? I think probably with his friends just, he was like, Oh, hell no. I'm not going to go down this stupid, really stupid. But like, do you think it was more of a joke or more of like, I'm like, I'm scared and wanted to want it to jump. Well, I don't know. You had the whole fucking log ride to think about it. You've been waiting in line and you've seen this damn drop. A little me like, yes, you've been scared. But you're 13 years old. I think you should have a little bit more. But who knows if he had mental illness could have been on the spectrum. I don't know. That's a crazy decision right there. Like that to me that that didn't look like it was a joke that looked more like, oh, he genuinely was terrified. Well, I'm scared of being on a plane. Let me open the door and jump out. No, no, I know, I know. I know. I'm just like, I don't know why I'm taking the kids side so easily. Let's let's hear. I feel like they're going to get a, and nobody knows if it was on purpose or not. And a lot of you like 13. I feel like you should know better by then unless the kid was mentally disabled. I'll take it back. But that sounds like a really stupid kid. Yeah. He was more already out by himself. The push was the smart move to stop him getting trapped between the wall and the ride. I'm surprised he fucking lived and walked away with minor scrapes and stuff. I know that's that literally looks like all that machinery and like metal and stuff could have taken your head. Oh my no. Like just, oh my god. Yeah. I'm really surprised. He made that like made it out of life from that. And all the people who are waiting in line and they're like rides close. I've been waiting for a fucking hour now. Those water rides take fucking forever to when you're in line. My god, like splash mountain at Disney World. You're waiting for two hours. I'd be pissed. I want my money back. You know what? Let me see the kid. Let me, let me talk to him. Let me talk to him. This is actually a perfect segue. I just found out about Disney's like the secret codes that cast members use. Okay. For different sort of things. So like, you know, if a guest has an accident, like code H is for, if a guest shits themselves or something, code view is for you, you're in code V is for vomit. But then they go as far as like a lot of people want to spread ashes at Disney parks. So like code A or code grandma is what cast members use if they catch somebody or if they find ashes around the park, this is if they find it, they just say that they'll, if they find, if they, you get caught spreading ashes, like, well, that's what happened at the Haunted Mansion road. Oh, right. Her only ass was to be spread around the haunted and when that person died, her family member or friend, whatever was spreading it. And they had to shut the whole ride down. They came with hazmat suits and everything. All kind of fucking Disney adult. You're like, I went spread my cash. It's crazy. You like and get banned from the park for the rest of your life. I know. I need you to spread my ashes at Disney life. Crazy. And I wonder how do I make this about me? But I wonder how she was doing you're right? Because like when I heard the story for the first time in my head, she had the whole urn in her head. Like I pictured it in the most unrealistic way possible. But then I was like, Oh, she definitely had like a ziplock bag in her pocket. And she was like this and just like salt being it throughout the whole ride. And just can you imagine somebody looking at the camera footage and be like, what is she doing? And you just see a hand going like this? Dude, you in your head, you're like, Oh, this person is, is this poison anthrax? Do it. Do it. Like, it's like Catholic mass. I want to be, if you're going to spread me out, I want to be like this. Yes. Yes. Sorry. Let me go. Or he'd dilute me in like holy water and just like, let's.
- That's a good little hack. - Little hack, yeah, you can say you're sweating. Oh my God, I was sweating. I was so scared on this ride. I was just dripping. - If you get cremated and if you were to spread your ashes, would you like me to be scattered in different places? Like I went a little bit of me like here, a little bit of me at Disneyland, or do you like hold up in one place? - Like a whole trip and then they got to go travel and deal with it and then they're separating it and they're sorting it out. Do you guys believe that the way you're taking care after you die, that's where your like, spirit will like continue your afterlife? Like or just that's how you're gonna know. - I believe it's whatever you believe. So if it gives you a peace of mind knowing that you're scattered in multiple places and that's your wishes, then by all means, do it. - Yeah, that's how I feel too. I like it to me, I feel like not a how you die. Everybody is just like in the same pool after. - That's what, but when I see someone like jumping all the ashes in one spot, I think I kind of want myself kind of the multiple places at one time. - There is something really comforting though about being buried next year loved ones. Like to me, like I could, if I was gonna choose anything, I think that makes the most sense for me. - In the casket. - Just in case. In my head, it's like, it's a good day of romantic. - Yeah, it's just like, it also just in case you like, we don't know, but what if it really did like a matter where you're a buried, like who you're next to? Imagine you're a buried next to somebody - Yeah, yeah, fucking no idea. And then you wake up and you're like, now in the afterlife, you're next to this person. - You just stuck. - I just think like burials, it's ridiculous how much that costs like the normal person. - Burials should not be that expensive. - It's very tough. - Buying the casket, getting the body pumped with formalva height. Like it's just, it's wild how expensive death is. - Yeah. - And how much of a financial burden you're already putting that on a family dealing with the loss of it. Yeah, it can cost average cost of a funeral and a burial can be like $8,000. Like, I don't know, I think they should figure that out. - I wonder what the process is, right? Maybe if I were to like see the entire process of what they do with a body, maybe my head is like, oh, okay, maybe it does take a really long time. Maybe they do it in the proper way where it's like, oh, this is like, and you know how you always charge more with things that are like super unsettling, you know, the job's just got cost more. Like if you're doing something that like, and now a lot of people want to do, that makes sense to me too. It's like who wants to sit there and work with dead bodies all day? - But even the cost of a casket is outrageous. - Yeah, and that business is consistent 'cause there's always people that are gonna be dying. That's why funeral homes are always like a family business and stuff, and it's like, it's a good business to go into because people are always gonna be dying, but it's, I think, profiting off of death is a little strange. - Like the thing is, if I knew that I was screwing somebody over price-wise, I'd gauging up the price on a family, and then like-- - Wow, they're mourning that. - I wouldn't be able to sleep and just being surrounded around that type of energy, oh my god. I feel like people that work in funerals, I feel like a lot of them, the ones that are fucked up, and they don't even believe that there's this spiritual afterlife. I think in their head, they're just like money, money, money. 'Cause if they did believe in it, they wouldn't be doing it. In their head, they're like, oh, I'm not gonna be punished because there is no afterlife. This is just money, money, money, money. - Remember you all had a casket up with the belly amhels? - Fuck yeah! - There was a casket that was always in the corner. - Wait, I remember that. - It was in the living room, just like-- - Yes, it was for like clearly some bit, David did, but like, it was just in there. - It was like a staple piece of furniture in the house. Whenever you're bored, you can just get it. Whenever you're drinking, we would be like, taking pics of us like texting in it. - Now I'm looking, that was like, that was like a kind of door. - I know. - Where is that casket now? 'Cause I don't know. - I don't know. - I don't know, I donated to somebody. - Somebody probably buried in it right now. - Honestly, you know what? I think they may have gone that from a prop house. - Okay. - Like, I don't think they got it from like a legitimate like mortuary or like a place where you buy coffins. It's like a play one. - A play one, yeah. - Oh, have you seen the people that go around cleaning, like tombstones and like grave sites? - Love that. - On TikTok. - Like out of the goodness of their hearts. - Yeah. - People that they don't know, like ones that have, you could tell have been like run down. They're like kind of tipped over. - That's nice. - Overgrown things like that. They'll just like film. - Restore washing it. - Yeah, cleaning it up. I'm like, that's really nice. - Oh, wait, and that's not their, like there's not their job that you're allowed to go to. - On their free time. - Oh, I didn't know you're allowed to go to any graves like that and just like do whatever you want. I know they're cleaning it, but I didn't really do that. - I think if it's someone who you clearly can tell that everyone, that person doing their life is dead and no one is going in visiting this tombstone. - Yeah. - But why not give it a little clean? I have no issue with that. - Yeah. - If there were flowers being left at that certain person, I'd be like, I'm not gonna just like clean this up and someone comes back and goes, who did this? Like, I don't know. - Bro, I've been seeing this on my feed so much. And I, for the first few, I thought it was real. Until I go to their page and I'm like, oh, this is all they fucking do. And it's not just one couple. It's many couples are doing this. And I never understood why it's so weird. Couples that do like those cheating videos, like, oh, I caught my girlfriend cheating, caught my boyfriend cheating. And there are a couple, but it's a, it's a skit. It's like, they're not real. Have you been seeing those? It's all they do, but it's like, it's supposed to feel real. But this is a couple doing this to each other and constantly posting it. And I don't understand how, what? I don't know why they do it. - Because it gets views and it gets clipped farmed and it goes around and they, like, I get, like, I understand, you know, I mean, this was a very popular back then when a boy would do a video of him with next to his friend that's wearing a wig in bed. She comes in, who the fuck is it? And then it's like, oh, like, I get that because there's an end to it. It's a prank. It's like, oh, okay, that's not a real girl. That's a friend. Okay, the video is over, prank is over. This is just like-- - It like leaves a permanent stain on their relationship. - Yes, like, I don't-- - I don't see, yeah, you're putting your face to something even though it's like a sketch too. - Yeah, so if I see this couple in real life, the first thing in my head is, oh my God, that's the couple that, like, that's the guy that cheated on her. What are they doing out together? Like, it's, it's that real. Like, that's how we have these videos. And it's multiple, a lot of couples do this. And it's like a joint channel. Like, I'll look at their channel. It's a joint couple channel. And they don't, they don't, they don't. - That's weird. - It is. - I hate prank couples. We prank each other. But y'all prank each other every damn week. It's not funny anymore. - Yeah. - It's like, it's clearly so staged here in on the bit. And it's like, oh, they're so funny, they pull pranks. Like, that's their job. - They just gotta do it in a better way because the moment I go to their page and I see that, oh, it's every week. Obviously in my head, it's like, oh, okay, this is like most likely staged. Maybe the first couple were real, but now they're all staged. If you're gonna do it, you just gotta do it in a way where it doesn't feel like. Like, do other stuff. - First of all, how does that even start? Like, say they had a joint account, right? They're filming like normal content. How do you pitch that idea? Like, yo, for a video, do you wanna do this thing? We're like, I catch you cheating. What? Like, and then they do it and it gets millions of views. They go, we should keep doing it. - Yeah. - Oh my gosh, me, that video made us like a couple thousand dollars. Like, dude, if we did this like every week, it's just-- - Work, and we're like-- - I'm a creator, we're creators. I understand it, like, especially seeing numbers like that. You're like, oh my god. But cheating is just such a big fucking insecurity on every couple, like most couples. So I'm just surprised that they would even put that energy into them within themselves like that because that's all I would think about. Like, in my head, like, I'd watch these videos of me and my wife just doing these videos and just one, and my head one day, I'm just gonna be like, this is weird, like, what if-- - Right. - What if something's actually happening? - They actually do it. And they're like, I was, you were supposed to walk in. - Yeah. (laughing) - I wanted you to find me on Taylor. - Even crazier reaction. So I'm like, baby, it was the bit. - Yeah, it's very interesting to me. But I saw this and I was like, oh, I wonder if these guys have seen these videos 'cause I get them a lot. - I can spot a stage video from a mile. - Wow. - And I hate seeing comments that buy shit. I'm like, oh, my God. How do you not see through these things? - Sometimes, sometimes they're good. When they're good actors, it's good. But you figure it out, like, after 15 seconds. - Yes. - One little reaction is a little off. You're like, oh, staged. - I hate like a rage bait video where it's someone doing maybe like a DIY task very, very bad, or they're cooking something. That's like very awful. And everyone in the comments are just like, this is discussing why someone would make it, but I'm like, they made it so you would comment that. - Is it hot? - It's like, oh, I'm gonna make a breakfast. This is like, I do this on this skillet. When I guess over, I'm making it some Mexican breakfast, like not so-- - But there's a way to make it really hot. - Really bad. And like, and it's just, and it's going on for minutes of them just like, doing a terrible thing. But the most of the internet, they think it's real. It's not, and usually at the person's talking a lot as well in the videos, like, see, this is just what we do. Anytime we have guests over blah, blah, blah, blah, and it's you never see the face. - I want somebody to do like a whole video of different levels of rage bait. Like, I want to see level one, level two, level three, level four. And I want them to give examples of each level. And I want to see it all broken down in a video. Like that would be-- - That's science of it. - Not the science of it, just like examples of rage bait. Because like, that one to me is like, that is like very rage bait, but I just want to know what level of rage bait is. - Level rating that is, right? - Well, what are you rating it on the level of it's really getting your attention, you're watching it all the way through. - Of absurdity. - Like, absurdity and like-- - That's how-- - Of clickbait. - Yeah. - I would say, like, to me, this is like level five. Like, this is a, this is a high level of rage bait, is the cheating one, right? Because it's like, like, sensitive, like people get very--
insecure about that in relationships and dumb as a couple are using that as a way to rage bait couples like you know how many couples probably watch these videos and like start questioning everything about their relationship like how much yeah anxiety it causes to them like to me that's rage made isn't talked in about enough as like a warning to just people because you are getting your attention drained away yeah on something that was created to train your attention. No, I knew you could say that about anything it's a whole attention game, but it's just this really gross way of time sucking your attention into something for a false sense of gain. It's it's yeah pisses me off because it's a waste of time. Yeah, they robbed you of your time. There's just like there's just there's just a certain formula to it. You just have to do it right. Right. Like if you're if you're a couple and you're going to do a cheating video do it in a way we're in the end there is gotcha. There's there's something funny that comes out of it, right? Like it's a there just needs to be like a reveal like it needs to just end there needs to be an end to the yeah story. Exactly yeah, because we all know social media like a lot of it can be fake, but just like let the viewers know in the end that something is either supposed to be comedic or fake or right, right. You know, do you want to see on how you're putting it together and you want to know what makes me more mad though than rage bait videos? Do you know what bean soup theory is? Yes. Yes. Yes. I love it. My favorite little like brother. Things are people. I hate these people. Oh, wait, bean soup theory. Wait. So what is this? A social media phenomenon where users leave self-centered comments on public posts demanding that the content be tailored to their personal preferences or asking what about me? It is so stupid. Like the original one was this thing that came from the bean soup video, but it would be like somebody's making like a video on. I could because I actually saw this video when it first came out. The bean soup. Yes. So this girl was making bean soup and she was putting it together doing her own bean soup. And then the top comment was, but what if you don't like beans? But what about me? I don't eat beans. And then she's just like, then don't fucking make it. Don't make the fucking bean soup. But are people now commenting bean theory type? Well, bean theories soup type, like comment under comments. Just to like get in, you can tell which ones are like real and which one like isn't. Like you can be like, okay, this like, I wish I can remember the example of another one that I saw, but I was like, there's no way these people. I saw one recently. There was a lot of people are making like with the ninja creamy like protein ice cream or whatever. And somebody was like, this is how you make the best like chocolate chip, rocky road, whatever thing. And so the commentant, what if I don't like chocolate? Oh my God. I almost punched them through my screen. What if I don't like chocolate? Don't make the fucking chocolate ice cream. It sounds just like a six year old commenting. It's so what if what if I'm allergic to peanuts? You know what you know what the social media accounts need to do now? I think it's required. Every social media account, your face needs to be on the picture. Yeah. Cause I bet you a lot less people will be commenting if you can see everybody's fucking face. I forget what country it is. I think it's somewhere in Europe, but they're requiring social media. You have to be 16 years old. And I'm like, let's do that here. But do you think you anonymity, you're allowed to be anonymous on the internet? Yeah. I mean, that's that's your right to be. Yeah. For sure. So I got the Australia Australia and France. I don't think it's like, I mean, it's not like a they probably are trying to set certain parameters, so they don't allow that. But I'm sure a lot of people are able to bypass it right in a way. I mean, probably it's like super easy to get around all this stuff. I feel like it has to be like not through the app, like through the phone, right? Like when you're when you're like setting up your phone. Yeah. So you so you can technically remain anonymous per app, whatever you want to do. But like if you go to download it and sign up, it knows like this is blocked. It's like a built in parental control because you're 16 and you're still considered a child. Does that now fall on the parents to make sure that those they don't buy like how do you like as a parent, make sure that you're following this law now in Australia. And that's another thing too. Like what I think is the dumbest thing. You go to like a an alcoholic beverage site. Are you 21? Yes. And who was sitting there being like no. Yeah. Oh wait, they don't backing out. They don't require an ID when you purchase the alcohol. No, it's everything plus. Accessing the website. But when you purchase the alcohol from the site, purchasing. Oh, yeah. Okay. Okay. Okay. But to move forward on the site. Yeah. I mean, that's I feel like it'd be really tough to unless you give your identification through like that site, like the first page. But like why put it? Who's sitting there being like, let me see. Oh shit. I think it's, I think it's on advertising laws or the same as when we have alcohol brand deals or for certain countries, we have to put age restrictions on our ads as influencers to make sure that these ads are not going to people who are under the age of 21 and even younger in different countries. Yeah. And you know, everything has always happened once before they make a change, right? So I'm sure somebody sued an alcohol company because they said, well, my kid was able to access this site. And there was nowhere that said it was for 21 and plus. So now they're like, fuck, this is to refrain us from getting sued. If they say that, oh, my kid had no idea that this site was for only 21 and older. So that's why they did that. But that makes sense. So I get that. It's just like lobbyist time growing on. It is very interesting. Go with a 21 plus on alcohol post some have it, some don't. I'm like, why is it some higher and some don't? You know, it's like the way, you know, cigarette ads used to be, you never saw cigarette commercials for our generation growing up. But we, you could see cigarette ads in like sports illustrated magazines and stuff like that. Now there is no print out. You can't advertise for cigarettes at all anymore. Yeah. And that's why lobbyists will try to get cigarettes in movies and shows and stuff as a way of like getting smoking a little bit more. What up? What a booming business, though, huh? No advertising. And it's like, and it just crushes. Crosches, camel crutches, camel crutches. The movie, thank you for smoking is very interesting about like, is that the one Brad Pitt in it? No, it's the guy who played Harvey Dent in the dark night. I forget that. His name is Ed something. No, near an Eckhart and like Rob Lowe, but it's all about like, like being a lobbyist for the smoking industry and trying to get ways to get people to smoke. 86% of our tomatoes love that. All right. I'll watch it. It's a very good movie that just nails the head on that mystery of what we're talking about. Of like, how do you get people to commit devices around a world where they're setting up as many barriers as you can to get people not to. Dan, you remember going out and like downtown Fort Lauderdale and there'd be like those people that work for Marble or. Yes. Yes. Oh my god. You put your email in and whatever and they give you a pack of cigarettes for free on the spot. Oh, yeah. That was crazy. Was that legal? I bet they still do it. Yeah, it's illegal because you're already in an establishment that sometimes bars do sell cigarettes. You know, God, you just can't be out in the streets doing it. No, you have to be like inside an established. I remember them being like on the sidewalk. I think I think they're sneaking out there. I remember being in bars and they would just have this little like pin pad thing. You put your information and then you have a free pack of smokes. America's backyard. That was it. That's it. And to us it was like, that's crazy. You're getting the free pack of cigarettes. And you only got to do is just. Oh my god. Yeah. Yeah. And then I started getting shit coming to my parents house in the mail. He who saw. It was bad. I would always put a fake address every time. I put a fake address. I put a fake email. And the thing that she knows, she knows about those cigarette packs walking around. She knows it. All she had to do was go out once and would see one of those people walking around. They gave it to me. They gave it to me. I looked like a smoker. So they gave it to me for free. I was going to give it to you as a gift for your birthday. They got a virus that I was trying to get rid of the virus. I was trying to delete the virus. My parents were now speaking of smoking. My parents fell out as I was deleted virus. But I can't wait for like, when Tony starts doing stuff. Just lying to my face. And like, you was a parent. Know it. But you're just like hearing it out. Like, sure. Let me just let him go off the rails and make it up. Like just, oh, okay. Or he's just that damn good. You think he's like, there's good intentions. Like nothing to worry about. And he's just a madness. Oh, man. Out of those walls. But speaking of speaking of smoking, guys, I want to be completely transparent with you. And there's a very vulnerable moment for me. But I started vaping again. Not very good. Oh, wow. I broke my, what was it? Hundred and you went a long time. Yeah. I think I was like 130 between 130 to 150 days. It was sent in my living room, picked it up, did it. And I haven't stopped since. It's been, it's been like a month and a half, two months now. But I have to stop in November because I'm doing something. And I have to stop. Can you still consume nicotine? Well, yeah, that's, well, during the time you put away things, you were using nicotine. I would do that's a bummer.
Yeah, because I struggled with it when I went cold turkey is that I went cold turkey off nicotine in general and that it still drove me nuts. Oh, you see it actually really, really helped me. Well, that because you were still able to have nicotine when I quit vaping, I put nicotine all together and then I relapse. This is the best way to do it like if you don't like the gum that's even better because I didn't really didn't like that. I didn't like the way my mouth fell, my throat fell. It gives you like a golf ball and you're sitting on the nicotine for so long. There's a brevity with vaping where you're like, okay, all right, I'm good. But when you have nicotine in your mouth, you're like, get this out of me. So it was satisfying me from not picking on my vape, but also I was like, okay, I can't wait for this feeling to go away because I hate this feeling that my throat gets when I do it. So I was able to I don't know if you remember how long I was doing that gum for, but I don't think I was doing it for that long. I was probably doing it for like maybe a month. Yeah. And then I just I felt like, I don't, I don't need to do this anymore. And then you weaned off of it. I remember you were having more in the beginning and then you started doing less every day. Yeah. And you would do like half of a piece. I would only do it before recording. I remember that. Like, yeah, it's like stress or like you got to like grind or get down to work. That's if I have a whole day where I have no conflict, nothing's coming at me. I don't have to respond to anything. I have no craving for nicotine at all. But it's just the moment it's like grinding. I'm like, okay, let's do it. It becomes your fucking crutch. It's terrible. But yeah, I just wanted to let you guys know that in case, you know, you ever see me doing it? I've got it. You came forward. You're not hiding it. I'm not hiding it. Yeah. No, it's just because I'm going to stop again. So I have and also like you have to at some point in your life because that shit will kill you. It really will. So you ever, if you break or have it, you come back and then you break it again. It's fine. It's okay. It's just a popcorn lung. Yeah. You just got to get just get back on it. Give yourself a date and a time. Give yourself a call and then try to find ways to help you get there. You know what I was thinking about? Well, this kind of just reminded me of it. Things that you eat, your stomach, the acid in it will break down and like flush out. Yeah. But like your lungs don't do that. So like if I'm breathing in sawdust, like while I'm cutting shit out here, does that stay in your lungs forever? Your lungs are capable of regenerating as well. Do they? Yeah. It will like break down material in your lungs. Well, like meaning if you like smoke cigarettes for forever and then like the thing you stop smoking, your lungs can kind of regenerate and like heal and get back to normal. Hopefully if you haven't done it, but also there's, I think because you've been working in your basement for so long, I think there's certain things that you can take like supplements like that, like help break down just that lemmy mucus shit that you've got you've got from working in the basement. Because I think that's why I'm getting like my like I've had like crazy sinus issues for a while, but it's been a lot worse since I did this and then when I dunked under my head under the pool for like a second, it just like exploded and then ever since that just been wrecked. Yeah. Just start looking up, just start looking up ways to start clearing anger lungs again because they have to out there be like sleep with like some moisture just to get like your mucus going and get that flim out because that's what's going to extract any irritants that are in your lungs. I've been doing those little like vix tabs in the shower. Oh, nice. Nice. Yeah. Yeah. Those are really nice. I know I was taking this when I was quitting when I was quitting vaping just to clear out my lungs. There's these pills that you can take that really flush out all that shit in your lungs that it like picks up and it was working. It was working really well for me. I'll try to find out what brand that was again. I got to look at my phone, but it really helped and I feel like you should, especially since you've been working in the basement with all that doesn't I'm sure those guys, you know those like those guys that just work in construction and shit, I'm sure they start wearing fucking mass and shit now because dude, it's probably so bad. The people that did my floor, not one of them wore a mask. I walked down in my basement and couldn't even breathe. Oh, that's really bad. Bro, it's the whole house wreaked, bro. It was so bad and they were down here in this room. No mask, just putting shit. I'm like, you guys don't want to mask or anything and they were just like, now we're good. I'm surprised that like employers or their contractors don't require that like with their people, they're hiring just to be like safety. Jared, can you look that up? I'm really curious to see like what, like how many, how early these issues come with people that work in that, in that field, acute conditions show up within weeks to a few years after 10 to 20 years of exposure, chronic, irreversible disease after 10 years. Like Maslow Felioma and stuff too, like Patricia's like grandmother, like, died when she was really young and she was like a teacher at a school and I believe a handful of other teachers also kind of died around that time, but she was probably exposed to it when she was in her 40s and they didn't realize it until later that they all like got it. I believe that's like the story of the case that from something you got exposed to from so long ago, but like that makes you sick over something like that. That's why you also, those commercials like viewer level and has been diagnosed with Maslow Felioma. They can like trace down if there are connections of other people, where did you work this long ago? It's too late. Once you have it, it's too late that like you die, but like you're entitled to make compensation and stuff like that. Oh, this is when you're older though, like you got it and then later down the road, you realize, oh, I got it from probably years ago, then they tried to get down really scary sometimes. Well, getting exposed to things that you weren't aware of that could have been prevented. That's why it's important to get regulations and have inspectors come into any place where people are working to make sure conditions are just up to code. That's insane. I feel like shit's going to come out about Wi-Fi when we're like, bring it on. But you know, as long as we got, we got a return from it, you know, like if later down the road, we all die from Wi-Fi, I'm like, man, it was a good run though. I have a hat on there everywhere I had. We have fun. You'll grant it if you had fun on that Wi-Fi. Oh, I have a Florida story. Let's hear it. It is recent or is this from 2012? Or is this a fake one? It's actually a Florida woman story and it's very recent. This girl, she's 21 years old. She's a flight instructor and she was taking a student up and had the emergency land landed it on the freeway and at the last second went underneath one of the signs. You know, like the big signs like on the highway that are like green, dipped underneath one of those, like one of those big metal, like signs that go across the whole thing. Absolute miraculous that she was able to get this plane underneath this land. Was this because the person she was up there in the plane with like bailed or something that said, like you got it, she was the instructor. She was the instructor. Okay. Oh, I thought it was a refer, I thought the instructor, somebody having an instructor and then the girl that was being trained landed it. The person that the guy that she was training, it was his first time ever doing a flight lesson. Imagine you're like, yeah, I think I want to be a pilot. You go up for your first lesson and that is what you, nope, that's a sign. That is a sign. I'm good. Thank you. Like, gosh. Isn't that insane? That type of maneuver is what I do on flight simulator when I'm fucking around. Let me squeeze between these buildings. You said under it, but she didn't hit any of the, um, the poles, no went right right underneath it right between it. Land it safely and then they stopped on the road and they got, wow, I always have a feeling I'm going to see an emergency landing of a plane. Like, you know, someone clue was driving a work that day and was like, my god, in the whole plane comes down. Like, I don't want to see a crash. I don't want to see people die. Like, I always think I'm going to witness like an emergency landing. Yeah. I never thought in my life, I'd see a plane land right in front of me. I try to be there here. I'd be like, I've got you. I'm like trying to be under the plane. I got it. Oh my god. Yes. Oh, man. That's crazy. I'm suing you. But the guy that just wants to be on the news also, yeah, I got to get in this. I want to be in this story. Somebody that just wants a new car too. Yeah. Just like done hit me. Hit me. I hear about that national anthem with Martha Reeves. Yeah. You sent it to me. I was at looking howling, dude, women's pro baseball all star tournament. Martha Reeves, who was the lead singer of Martin the Vandals, that usually it's like always the best way to find you quick. I mean, this one, this one has joined the ranks of like Fergie's national anthem. Yeah. Fergie's was, I mean, Fergie's was special, but she was so good in her prime though. Like she says. Right. No, Fergie was too. And what's given, we're not making fun. We're just hearing her out. They can you see by the dawn's early light was so proud that we have the twilight's rise. They're going to do it too. They're going to do Fergie dirty and they're going to show all the players faces while she was singing. Why didn't they show any of anybody's faces in that video?
They just did a big zoom out. Yeah, they were just like, we can't. You know, those girls would have been cracking up. You know, those girls would have been like, well, because then someone had a clip of her with the background singers before. And like, they were trying to rehearse. And then she was like, no, you're off key. She's getting mad at the other girls. And you could tell that I don't think they're like a full trio. I think the venue was like, I think we're going to give you some background singers. And then like, she was like, no, no, like, oh my God. And that's kind of what happened. And the thing is, they didn't just replace her. But immediately, no one would call a fame legend. We can't fix it like we have to fix this though, because now look what we have. We have now a video for singing and everybody's shitting on her. I would that was a, that would be the first thing I would thought of. I'd been like, I really don't want this lady to like go into a fucking manic like be like that. Because of the of the feedback. She's about again. That's a damn shame or shame on her team. Like if you're representing Martha Reeves and you're like, Martha's not right. It's like, I don't think she should be doing this unless Martha was like, oh no, I'm doing it. Like someone, someone like me, yes, I wouldn't back out because like, it's fine if I get all the comments. But again, she is a hall of fame or like, you don't want her to be the last thing that she fucking does. And this is how people remember her. Like you have to like think about that. And she was known for her vibrato. Like if you listen to her old stuff, it's like you can hear what she's trying to do. She just is not hitting it into that she used to be. And guys, Fergie, what was the last time you saw Virgie last time I saw her was that national anthem. Yeah. The comedy. She metal. I said she sounds like this. Oh my God, that people are so good. I just love she has this moment where she kind of steps away from them and she's like, hold on. You know, like, they're singing the three that she kind of walks away and it's like trying to get it herself. You know, like, you never get to answer when he does those like, it's just like these are the type of videos you got to like take inspiration in from when you do a TikTok character video. Oh, Martha. What's your way? Martha, who? I've actually never heard of it. I've actually never heard of it.
