a movie that I should have watched a million years ago.
I don't know why I didn't. I don't know what
took me so long. But you, Lynette, I'm looking at you.
And Kaylin now I'm looking at you. Have told me
that I would like this movie. I've finally watched Django Unchained.
Speaker 4: Oh wow, about freaking time.
Speaker 3: It was a real movie. No, we talked about it.
I told you. I went on a little thing where
I was like, I decided I didn't like I don't
know why. Maybe because I didn't like kill Bill and
I know that Kaylen's favorite ever.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I know I didn't like I didn't care for
kill Bill.
Speaker 3: But you didn't like it. And then I think when
Jango came out, I was like ah. And then I
didn't watch Hateful Eight either did you say that's good
or not? I liked it.
Speaker 2: I loved Hateful Eight.
Speaker 3: Okay, Well, so I watched and then I had told
you that years after the fact, I finally had watched
Inglorious Bastards and loved it. Yes, great movie, gat movie.
So I watched Jango Unchained and oh my god.
Speaker 4: Sonny's favorite movie of all time, Such a great movie. Yes,
it's a great movie so great. The acting is great,
everybody's great.
Speaker 3: I love that Christopher Waltz. Oh, isn't he He's so good.
He's so good.
Speaker 2: He was in Inglorious Basket, Yes, he was so.
Speaker 3: Watched Glorious Balley, rewatched Inglorious Bastards last night because we
were on a little like Tarantino run and now I'm
gonna watch hatefully. You should watch it, Hateful e. It's good.
It's good. It's really good. Yeah. I think I think
I got into a thing where I'm like, I don't
like westerns, me neither. But quit is different Tantino.
Speaker 4: Yeah, there's humor, yes, yeah, yeah, yeah. So you liked
a Django was wasn't it?
Speaker 3: It was?
Speaker 4: It's like one of the best movies.
Speaker 3: Wasn't Samuel Jackson so good in James Oh he was great.
Oh my god, he's so like intimidated, he's so he's
such a.
Speaker 2: Good ac so good. Yes, and he's in Hateful eight too.
Speaker 4: Oh ah yah right, Aya.
Speaker 3: It's so funny because Quentin Tarantino movies, they're all different.
They all have some similarities, but like pulp fiction is
nothing like those movies.
Speaker 4: Right, I know how many he's saying that he's only
gonna do ten movies.
Speaker 3: And that's it. Ever, yes, yeah, hasn't he already done
ten movies?
Speaker 5: Nine? He's doing one more than he's done.
Speaker 6: Why, that's just he that's what he wants. He wants
to have like his catalog and his ten and then
he has something to do with like he doesn't want
to like be old and be making bad movies that
will then possibly taint his previous catalogs along those lines.
But I guess he said he would make like a
limited series though.
Speaker 3: Oh good. Yeah, but he can't stop not creating. He's
so young. Yes, he's old, and he's brilliant, he really is.
Speaker 4: I mean, he's so talented and all of his movies
are I think even Kill Bill for what you know,
wasn't that great for us?
Speaker 3: Fantastic, so fantastic.
Speaker 4: But uh they say his last movie, from what I heard,
is supposed to be a horror movie.
Speaker 5: No, no, I mean I haven't heard anyone say that.
Speaker 3: What about that like grind House that that he did,
like a double feature that Rodrigaz.
Speaker 5: Guy, My dad was in that movie. He was is
in the Robert Rodriguez version, which is funny.
Speaker 6: I last week we had one of Quentin Tarantino's producers,
her name Shannon McIntosh on Me and my Dad's podcast,
Just One About and one of the guys from Grindhouse,
and they talked all about Quentin Tarantino and working on
his movies and stuff.
Speaker 3: Oh that's so cool.
Speaker 5: But yeah, he did.
Speaker 6: Like it was called Grindhouse. It was like a double
feature movie where Robert Reguez directed one and he directed
another one and they like played it together in a
movie theater.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's isn't that crazy?
Speaker 3: I was what?
Speaker 4: I watched a documentary on Quinton Tarantino and they brought
they brought Yeah, I can't remember. I think it's on Apple.
I think it's probably easy to find. But they brought
up those movies. But then he also did, I don't know.
Speaker 2: If what's the movie with Patricia Arquette?
Speaker 3: Is it Patricia true? Does that count or he just
direct he wrote out it, so he doesn't count that.
I love that movie. He too, love that movie. I've
seen it a lot of times. Yeah, I love that
movie too. But I really am suffering from bad memory
because I was because John goes, do you we could
watch in Glorious Bastards? I was like, I feel like
we just watched it though, and He's like, well, it
was a couple of years ago. So I was like, okay, well,
knowing me in my memory, I should be able to
enjoy it again. Sure enough, don't. Didn't. It was all
new to me. I knew I liked it the first time.
Could not have told you a single scene I didn't remember.
I remember the very the opening scene, but somehow I
thought such a great scene. Yes, it's a really good scene,
but I thought there was a huge shootout in that scene.
So when the girl runs away from the house, Shashana
runs away and the guy who the guy who lives there,
gives up the Jews, I was like, wait, what why
is he doing that? That's not how I was like,
I thought he and John's like nope. I was like,
well then I don't remember this movie at all. And
then from that scene on, yeah, nothing even looked I mean,
that's so funny, didn't even look familiar, but super enjoyable again,
so great, So good do you ever wonder?
Speaker 4: Like?
Speaker 3: I was like, is that something wrong? Is something wrong
with me that I don't remember it at all?
Speaker 2: The same issue Stephanie, like I don't.
Speaker 3: Like not familiar at all, like like gave me a
good feeling, like, oh, I know I like this movie,
but could not have told you.
Speaker 2: I think it's hormones.
Speaker 3: Or lax. Let's just blame that, yes, because not having
like everyday life, Like it's not like I ever go
somewhere and don't remember where I am. It's nothing. I
nothing know.
Speaker 4: She always when you're watching Wendy has the same issue too. Okay,
She's like it's new to me all the time too,
same thing.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't know what it is. John remembers everything.
Speaker 6: I know.
Speaker 3: Guys are differ. He watches, he watches stuff, and then
like ten years later he can tell you like what's happening,
what's gonna come up next in the next scene? Right?
Or songs like I'll listen to a song, Oh love
a song, and then I can't remember anything about how
it goes, like I have to play it again for myself, right,
do you know what I mean? Yes?
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, you know that there are songs from the eighties.
Speaker 3: Then I could sing you the whole song, right right, yeah, Jenny,
I got chill n you know, yeah, but nothing else
nothing passed like two thousand.
Speaker 2: Yes, yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 3: I'm the same way.
Speaker 2: It's funny though. I was just talking to.
Speaker 4: Sonny about Quentin Tarantino movies and I was like, we should,
you know, instead of all the sports we're watching, we
can watch, like, let's watch a Quentin Tarantino he discovered
in Gloria's Bastards. He was like, I think like eleven
because we were we were out of town at a wedding,
and yeah, it was like I think he was like
eleven or twelve, No more than twelve. We were at
a wedding and he started watching it in the hotel
because I had it. I was watching it and Natalia
could care less. But Sonny started watching it and he
was like, I want to finish watching that movie. We
started in a hotel. I was like, oh, hell yeah,
when we go home, we'll finish watching it. He loved it,
and then he was like off to the races with
quin Tinantino movies. He wanted to see every single one
of them. And Django is his favorite movie. And Sonny
has all these movies he's watched. You know, he's not
He's watched so many movies, any kind of genre, any
kind of decade, you know, black and white movies, and
Jango is his favorite movie.
Speaker 2: Wow of allah, Wow, loved it.
Speaker 3: It's really good. It just it loses a pacing a
little bit at some point where you're like, Okay, it's
like that with his movies. Yes, he needs to he
needs he could have taken. It's like it's almost like
a false ending. It's like it should have ended, and
then there's another hole. Then he gets captured again, and
then he has to get away again, and it's like
you cut. You're like, well, I know he's going to
get away again, so is this part really necessary? Exactly?
I thought it was over and I look and I'm like, oh,
there's still like forty minutes, right, I know we're gonna
do with forty more minutes. But I mean it was
still enjoyable. It is. I mean, I was happy to have, right.
I was like, that's fine, okay, yeah, yeah, get another
snack and like settle in for another forty minutes. Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 4: They are long, very long, very long, and he could
he could definitely trim the fat, and a lot of
his movies still so good.
Speaker 3: So what's Hateful eight about?
Speaker 2: What's the there's a bounty, there's a there's A.
Speaker 5: It starts off with like, I don't know.
Speaker 6: He's a bounty hunter and he's taking a prisoner into town.
But there's a really bad blizzard coming in, so he
gets stranded in this habitastary it's called with you know,
it would be like six other people, and someone in
that house is working for his prisoner and is plotting too.
He has her chain like to his hand, so someone
in the house is plotting to kill him and freed
the prisoner.
Speaker 5: And you don't know who it is.
Speaker 2: Oh okay, it's really good. And she's the prisoner is Jennifer.
Speaker 5: Jennifer Jason Lee. Yeah, she's fantastic.
Speaker 2: She's so good.
Speaker 3: I love Jennifer Jason Lee.
Speaker 4: Oh.
Speaker 5: And Walton Goggins is in A two. I know how
much you loved.
Speaker 6: Him, and he's great, fantastic in it.
Speaker 5: He's so good.
Speaker 3: He had a very small part for the fact that
I was excited that he was in I guess uh Djingo.
Oh he was in Jengo.
Speaker 5: Very small part, very small part.
Speaker 4: You love him, oh okay, and also surprising in Django
is what's that fat Stoner kid?
Speaker 3: Yeah, he's in it, yes, Hilario.
Speaker 4: One. My wife, Yeah, my wife, your wife making him.
Speaker 3: Yes, yes, yeah, yeah, should we just like not wear
them on just this time and the next time we'll
wear them? He does dialog funny stuff. I mean, Pope
fiction is like such a classic because there's so much
comedy in it, so but it's also so good and
so good. Yeah, yeah, it's great.
Speaker 4: On the flip side, I have you watched Chimp Story
on Metric Crazy Chimp.
Speaker 3: I haven't watched it.
Speaker 4: I just started watching it last night and I wanted
to watch it, but my eyes wouldn't stay open. But
I can't wait to like go home tonight and watch
it again because it it's made by the guy that
did The Tiger King and he is now doing this
story about the chimp world. But I'm not going to
spoil it for you, but I didn't. This is an
interesting fun fact is that he went in. He wanted
to go and talk to the people that have like
a you know, the whole chimp sanctuary and Missouri or whatever,
but they are dubious. They don't want to talk to
him because they know him because of what he did
with the Tiger King. So he had to hire a
proxy director to say like, oh, this is his and so,
but he hired this guy who was in like the
Barnum and Bailey circus, so he has like a legit.
So that these crazy people, I don't know if they're
all crazy whatever. I just started watching it, but.
Speaker 3: Some of it, I'm sure they're all crazy.
Speaker 4: A little crazy, yes, so that they would feel comfortable
with this guy coming into their thing because they were
not going to allow that guy from The Tiger King.
Speaker 3: So yeah, it looks really good. Really yeah, I need
to watch that. And now that the Bachelor's over, Bachelorette
is over, but then next week Golden Bachelorette starts and
that's very excited about that because I really can't stand
the Bachelor Bachelorette anymore. But the Golden Bachelorette is going
to be good. Yeah.
Speaker 2: So who is the Golden Bachelorette.
Speaker 3: Her name is Joan Listen. It's she probably shouldn't have
become the Bachelorette because she wasn't. She left sort of early.
She said that her daughter was having like postpartum depression
a little bit, and her daughter had just had a baby.
I think she just wasn't into the bat she left.
She was on the season of the Golden Bachelor Jerry,
Oh oh Gary, Yeah, okay, and then she left even
though he was totally into her. My I think that
she didn't like him and he really liked her, and
I think she got scared, like, oh shit, like this
guy really likes me. So if I stay, I think
he might end up picking me. So I got to
get out of here. I see. I remember that one.
We had like a heartfelt conversation and he was like,
you know, well she's she's you know, she has to go,
and I respect that, and you know, so that they
could all say face yes, But then here she is coming,
you know, going to be on the Golden Bachelor, right,
so I guess her daughter is fine? Now yeah, okay,
oh that's I liked her. Yeah, it was Joan.
Speaker 6: Joan.
Speaker 3: She's very pretty. The reason I say like is because
like she was definitely like the youngest hottest one there.
Oh so it's like, of course, right, you're not really
picking like a grandma type. Yeah right, you know I
think she was like sixty oh really and now she's
probably like sixty two, you know. Yeah, so it's like
all right, you know, so that's how golden is she?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 3: How golden? Yeah, she's not seventy. He was like he
was in his early seventies.
Speaker 4: Yeah he was, and he had like a hearing aid
and stuff like, yeah she's she's sixty two.
Speaker 2: Yeah that's m but you know what, God bless Yeah.
Speaker 3: Exactly, Like I'm excited for this. Was like I already
like a bunch of these guys. One of them is Kelsey,
who won Joey's season of the Bachelor. It's her dad
who everybody fell in love with when we met him
at hometowns, and so I hope he goes here. Yeah,
I love it.
Speaker 4: I like that there's a Golden Bachelor, batched Golden Bachelorette
about time.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 4: You know, I see all these like reality shows with
all these young kids. It's like, when are we going
to be able to fun? I know exactly, you know,
we get hurt.
Speaker 3: Yeah, but there's this huge gap between like what they're
thinking needs to be married off, like people in their
like twenty four and then like when you're sixty you
get to be on the golden Like yeah, what happened
to like people in their forties and fifties? Right, Yeah,
what's wrong? I mean their late thirties? Yeah, how do
we all get hurt.
Speaker 4: Instead we got milk man or they throw at us, right,
like come on, we're a joke, yes, come on, there
should be or even just like contestants on well, I
guess like Survivor, they.
Speaker 3: Have older people, you know, right, they have all ages,
but we but we're not supposed to date, right, we
don't have dating. Shit. If you hook up with somebody
on Survivor, that's like that's yeah a side project, right,
you know right? Right? Yeah? Yeah? Well, uh so.
Speaker 2: What I talked Natalia I talked to quite often.
Speaker 4: Yeah, and she's really enjoying it and she is uh so,
she's got the classes that she's taking that she's signed
up for, which is I think four or four classes.
She wants to add another class and she says if
she takes that class, then she's gonna have enough credit
to put her into TAG. Remember TAGS, which stands for.
Speaker 3: What is the stand prance for alliance guarantee I think,
or chance for something guaranteed.
Speaker 4: Yes, so she's working towards that. That's her goal, okay, yeah, yeah, and.
Speaker 3: Could she do it in one year or two years? Still,
she's gonna she wants to try and get it.
Speaker 4: You know't Italia, Like she just wants to get there.
She's gonna try and do it in one year.
Speaker 3: Oh wow. And she she.
Speaker 4: Has to take statistics, which she's gonna get. She's she's
trying to get all the shitty, you know, the boring
classes out of the way, the ones that she has
to have but she doesn't really just so that she
can like focus now when everything's kind of new and enjoyable,
you know. So she's trying to get all that out
of the way. And then yeah, she said that if
she takes one more class, she'll and if she keeps
it the the GPA, that she'll have enough credits to
get into the tag. So that would be cool, I know. Yeah,
So she's been she's been doing really well. She's like
doing homework. She's like all my friends are downstairs, you know,
hanging out watching the football game yesterday and it's like
I spent two hours doing homework upstairs.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 4: Yeah, she's been really enjoying it, and like I think
that she's feeling like that she has a goal that
she's working towards, so uh, it's and she's seeing the payoff,
like if she's doing this and if she can do that,
it's gonna leader to the next steps. So she's got
these goals and she's seeing and she's also seeing it
through her roommates who have already been there one year,
and they're on their way to getting in, you know,
to Santa Barbara University of Santa Barbara. So yeah, so
she sees them making their accomplishment.
Speaker 2: So that's she's always kind of been that way, you know.
Speaker 3: Yeah, if she could do it in one year, that
would be cool, but she needs to keep in mind
that then she enters school as a junior. Yeah, I know, right,
So it depends on if she's having a good time
and wants to do that for another year after this year.
Speaker 2: Right, yeah, so we'll see.
Speaker 3: Yeah. Right now, well, let's take a little break and
talk about thrive. Oh, let's talk about Quince first.
Speaker 2: All right, let's talk about Quins.
Speaker 4: Yeah, listen, it's the football season and it's falls upon
us and we all love our sweaters and nothing like
a cashmere sweater from Quints, and nothing like a cashmere
sweater that starts at fifty bucks. And they also have
pants for every occasion. They have washable silk tops and
so much more, and we love Quints because there's so
many styles and so many different colors to choose from,
which is what we love. And the other thing is
the best part about quints is that they by partnering
directly with the top factories, Quints cuts out the cost
of the middleman and passes the savings onto us, which
we love.
Speaker 3: Love it, love it.
Speaker 2: All different colors and styles.
Speaker 3: I'm going to be getting.
Speaker 4: I need a new cashmere sweater I love, yes, because
mine shrunk in the watch it.

So I just got a text from Sadie. Yeah so
I as I told you so Xander yesterday. So sad.
So he wasn't feeling good yesterday morning. I have thought
that he had COVID. But remember when I had COVID
not very long ago, Yeah, like six weeks ago, so,
which is kind of a nice It's like the catbird seat.
I'm like, well, I'm not going to get it so
I can take care of him. Ye get it again
in six weeks. Yeah. Sure. So anyway, but he wasn't
feeling one and I was like, well, you just had
COVID and he's like, no, I didn't. Then I remembered
that early in the summer before he went away to
the speech competition in Iowa, he was sick. I thought
he had COVID, but he had STRAP. Oh yeah, and
then I medicated. So then I was like, well didn't
you have it during the summer And he's like, no,
I never had COVID. So I was like, oh shit,
well you might have COVID. So I tested him. He
hadn't been feeling sick until yet. It was yesterday morning
and he started feeling bad. He's like, I have a
sore throat. Tested him, came up positive right away. Well,
the night before he did like a bunch of friends
sleepover oh no, it all been hanging out. So I
was like, his girlfriend had been hanging out. I was like,
you got to text everybody, tell them right, So he
felt really bad. So now, so now I got a
text from Sadie. Hey girl, I'll finish the school day,
but I think I have COVID. I'll take a test
when I get home. And then she wrote my teachers
making me put my phone away. Now okay, oh oh
my gosh. Do I go get her early? I don't know.
I mean, I don't know.
Speaker 2: She's already been there.
Speaker 3: I know, but now she's in there giving people COVID.
Speaker 2: Yeah, well she thinks she has it.
Speaker 3: I mean, but here's a day if she's not feeling well.
This is what happened with John. Remember when I was
telling you guys, I'm like, I don't know, I feel
fine then John, But John had got COVID, I guess
from like the gym. And then I was like, oh,
now I have a kind of sniffiy. Remember, But I
was like, then I went and got a test and
it was negative, right, because I wanted to be sure.
And then it took me like three days to actually
test positive for COVID.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, I remember that, and this here's the thing
that's going on. So all that was telling me that
the baby, her grandson, and Emmy and Powella, her daughter,
were all testing positive for COVID, but they all lived
together with Olga, and she's like, I feel fine and
I've been testing and I don't have it. And I
was like, okay, but you're gonna get it. So she
this was like last week on like Monday, okay, And
then I had to call her and tell her about
Sunny because I was the Patreon I was telling you about.
And also she kept calling to see how he was
doing because of his wisdom teeth.
Speaker 3: So so I'm.
Speaker 4: Talking to her and she's like, yeah, it's been a
week and I'm still not testing positive. But it's been
well over a week. Everybody here as COVID. I've been testing.
I feel fine. No no, no positive. I'm like okay.
Then she then like later on last night she texted
me and she's like, oh, here it is got tested positive.
So the weird thing is like she's it seems to
be some people can be with people with COVID and
have it and maybe they don't. It seems like it's
catching up to them later, you know.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's why I thought it was weird that Xander
was very positive line like literally a couple hours after
he was having symptoms. I did not think he would
even I was like, I mean, i'll test him, but
he's probably not going to test positive sure enough right away,
But I don't know. I mean, listen, it's it's gonna
just be around now, I think. Yeah, And it's it
is basically a cold, right, so, and they don't even
need you at school. They don't even care anymore. They're like,
if you're if your symptom free, like you're fine. Oh,
it's the same. It's the same protocol as like having
a cold, if you should be fever free for twenty
four hours, okay, But you know, they're also freaking Nazis
about attendance at my ten Like they're crazy. Ye, Like
they're like if you're absent more than two days, you
have to go to that you have to have a
doctor's note. It's like okay, but but then you also
don't want them to come to school if they are
like if they're coughing right right, yeah on everybody, But
like what do you do if you, let's say, I
test Xander at home he has COVID. What do you
want me to do? You want me to take him
to I'm going to run him to urgent care so
that he has an excuse to not go to school. Like,
I know, it's fucking ridiculous. Yeah, that is, Like everybody
needs to calm down. Here's what they need to do.
If they're dealing with kids that are often, you know, malingering. Fine,
have different standards for different people. If you know that
there's like kids that want to be at school and
do really well in school, stop haranguing them if they
have to miss a day or two, like.
Speaker 4: Stop, yes, Like I don't think you feel like your
kids miss school that often.
Speaker 3: They don't. It's not even like elementary school where I'd
be like, let him have personal days. No, my kids
go to school every day. But also especially this year,
is you know, intense juniors. They have a lot of
hard classes. They miss you miss a little, you miss
a lot exactly. Yeah, I don't know, it's there's some
but now.
Speaker 4: They're they're fine with if you get tested positive and
you don't have symptoms, they're fine with you coming to school.
Speaker 3: Literally, this is I wrote to her. The attendance woman
this morning at school, and she wrote back, Uh, here's
what I said. I said, Hi, Xander had a fever yesterday.
I said, he has COVID. He had fever yesterday. I'm
attaching the positive COVID test. I assume I'll have to
miss a few days of school. And of course I'm
aware of your new strict policy, because they sent out
a whole thing. It's like, we have a new attendance policy.
We're being very strict. If you miss a day that's
a surrounding a four day weekend, you have to you
have to come in with a doctor's note. So it's like,
let's just say, which is so insane. Let's say you
have horrible cramps, but it's the day before a three
day week or the day after a three day weekend.
What are you supposed to I mean that that is,
I mean I don't I don't really care. I'm not
gonna take my kid to urgent care if I know, like,
but whatever, it doesn't really matter. So I said, I
also don't want to bring him into urgent care since
it's expensive, and I also don't need him to take Packslavid,
on the other hand, he's concerned if he misses a
but they're like, if you don't have an excused absence,
if you don't get a doctor's note, the teachers don't
have to let them make up tests, they don't have
to accept homework. It's like, h it's a little crazy.
So anyway, I wrote that, I said, so anyway, please
advise what you want me to do. So she wrote back,
good morning. And then this is their standard policy. An
individual can isolate for twenty four hours, and if symptom free,
they're able to return to school and not have to
isolate for five days. They've been fever free for twenty
four hours, they have no other symptoms. Well, by the way, though,
even if they have a cold, they're gonna if they're
if they're not, you know, positive for COVID, but they
didn't have they have symptom free COVID. You're gonna have
symptoms for a couple of days, of course. Yeah, even
if you have a cold.
Speaker 2: Yes, people are sick for a couple of days.
Speaker 3: But according to their policy, if you're sick for more
than two, if it's two days, go to the You
got to get a doctor's note. So that's okay.
Speaker 4: In the ass and then you got to go, Yeah,
you got to pay for urgent care, get a.
Speaker 3: Doctor's Yeah, so this says. Then she says, the CDC
says children can return to school and their overall symptoms
improve and their fever free for twenty four hours without
taking medication. Students are and then in quotes, encouraged to
wear a mask when they return. So I don't I
don't know what that means, Like I don't get the quotes,
Like it's like like you know, but like yeah, I guess,
don't tell. I don't know what they mean by that. Yeah,
that's a is it a whole like ls L A
U s D yeah or okay, yeah yeah Ali USD
doesn't care anymore about COVID and neither do they don't
care about it for the teachers. Like it's which I understand,
it's not really more than a cold, but it's no
different than a cold at this point, Like as far
as I know, I don't want to give disinformation.
Speaker 2: Right huh wow, Oh well, you know, I mean glad.
Speaker 3: My kids are out of school. I think it's just
like maybe it's just more contagious than a regular cold.
So if I feel like like when I had COVID.
I didn't want to come in and give you guys
COVID because we're sitting across from each other, and then
you know, it's almost a pretty much a guarantee, like
you're gonna get COVID. Yeah, then you missed some work,
right right.
Speaker 4: Well, I was traveling, Otherwise I wouldn't have cared. But Kaylan,
on the other hand, Well.
Speaker 3: We don't give a fuck about Kaylen. That's true. I
sit him outside. Yeah, when's the last time you had COVID, Kaylin?
Speaker 5: I had no idea. I don't I don't remember.
Speaker 2: But you've had it, yeah, Like he's had it a
couple of times.
Speaker 6: I mean the only time I really got a definitive
like positive test was way back, you know, in like
twenty twenty one or something like that.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I've only had it once as far as I know.
And uh, yeah, I had a fever and all that stuff.
It was and it was done. But I got it
way late in the game. Yeah, like, uh, probably not
in like twenty one or I think I might have.
It must have been in the beginning of twenty three
or something. Really, I think, yeah, it was when like
people are going who gets COVID anymore.
Speaker 2: That's when I got it. I was like, well apparently
I do.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean it kind of seems to be still
in waves, like you'll just hear about a bunch of
people like all getting it and then and then it
goes away. Yeah, eh, what aver.
Speaker 1: I mean?
Speaker 3: I haven't been vaccinated in years. I'm just saying for
it because like what I mean, right, I don't like
back when the vaccines first came out, I was you remember,
I was like really wanting the vaccine because it was
still really dangerous, right, But ever since, it's like kind
of died down and I had it. I don't know.
I got the vaccin and then I got the booster
me too, and then I think I had one more
like six months after that, but then I stopped. Aren't
you only how many are you supposed to get? I
don't know. I think they come out. I know people
that still get them like every six months when there's
a new variant, but I haven't because I remember going
to get a flu shot. Well I remember asking there
was like a new vaccine out, and I asked the pharmacist.
I was like, do you think I should get it?
Does it actually prevent COVID, and he was like, and
I said, okay, well should I get a flu shot?
He goes, yes, you should get a flu shot because
that will help you not get the flu. He's like,
the COVID vaccine is not going to really help you
not get COVID. It's just gonna keep you not spread
it as much. And I was like, well, fuck that.
I don't care about spreading it. No, But I was like, oh,
I don't want two at the same time. And then
I just never yes, yeah.
Speaker 6: No, I know.
Speaker 4: I had the booster and then but you know what
they say though is important for women our age is
shingles shot.
Speaker 2: I know, like, I've heard it a bunch of times,
and you.
Speaker 3: Can get it if you had chicken pox, right and
you have the virus in you.
Speaker 4: I had a chicken pox twice too. You did, yes,
once when I was a kid, and then when I
was in my twenties.
Speaker 3: I thought, you can't get it again.
Speaker 4: That's what I thought, But I guess you can. In
some cases you can get it twice. Or I had
it was it was the chicken pox, but not as severe.
When I was a kid, it was like chicken pox
adjacent or whatever. Okay, But when I was like, what
is all this these this rash all over me? And
I wasn't feeling good, and I went to the doctor.
I love that doctor that I had at the time,
and he said, yeah, you have chicken pox. And I said,
but I had him when I was a kid, and
he said, well you can get him again, not as severe.
Speaker 3: So yeah, interesting, So shingles you've never had it? Right, no, now,
but anybody can get shingles, right, I guess. So sound's horrendous. Yeah,
but also I hear the vaccine. The vaccination is horrible too,
Like the side effects of the vaccination is terrible. You
feel awful.
Speaker 4: Oh, so it makes you sick like the next day, Yeah,
something like worse.
Speaker 3: Than COVID vaccine.
Speaker 4: Olga gets her shingles vaccine or she's gotten it because
she's like, Nina, do you need to get your shingles vaccine?
Speaker 3: Really? You should? Yes, you should, definitely. Do you know
anyone that's had shingles? Oh, we're going to get a
lot of Facebook messages on this one, people that are
going to be like, it's terrible. I've heard I haven't
heard good things about Yeah, right, if you've had shingles.
I remember reading that David Letterman got shingles like a
million years ago, but I remember that he couldn't work
for like a while because it was very bad. It's
supposed to be it's supposed to be very painful.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's what I hear. But how does one get.
Speaker 3: I mean, it's no getting a crown, right, I don't know.
Speaker 4: I think it's just you look at what, like the
the side or the symptoms of shingles.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think you get a rat, get rat.
Speaker 4: And the vaccine no shingles, shingles proper like.
Speaker 3: Yeah, symptoms of shingle. Yeah, we should know. We sound
real dumb right now.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I know, a burning, shooting pain. That's usually the
first symptom of shingles. A rash. Other symptoms tingling, itching,
numbness of the skin, chills, fever, headache, or upset stomach.
Speaker 3: It's like a walk in a pot. That's every Tuesday
for me. God, that does sound bad. How long does
it last?
Speaker 6: Because I think it's okay. So the rash a rash
of fluid filled blisters that usually appears one to five
days after the pain starts. The rash can appear as
a single st it can be more widespread. The blisters
typically scab over in seven to ten days and clear
up in two to four weeks.
Speaker 4: It does sound pretty bad, I know, yes, yeah, yeah, okay.
Speaker 6: I got a of shingles last three to five weeks.
But the pain can continue for months or even years.
Speaker 3: What Oh? Hell No, notion.
Speaker 6: Of shingles, pain and other symptoms depends on the person
how soon treatment is started.
Speaker 2: Wow, you're turning into a p s A for everybody
I know.
Speaker 3: Okay, now look up the symptoms of the back shingles vaccine. Yeah.
See which is worse? Yeah, they're like forty eight hours
of pain. I'm like yeah, no.
Speaker 6: No, skin rash, joint pain, flew like symptoms, headaches, and fatigue.
Speaker 3: No, I don't about that. It's not good. Is there
like something from column ces?
Speaker 6: Side effects of the vaccine can last two or three days.
Speaker 3: Or don't take it out of Sunday night? No, and
Lynette is already having to go get a colonoscopy. Yeah,
I know. I can't be dealing with this. Oh no.
Speaker 6: In very rare cases, the shingles vaccine can cause Gillian
bar syndrome, a serious nervembre syndrome.
Speaker 3: That's not good.
Speaker 6: A serious nervous system disorder.
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's who had that. Some celebrity I think had that.
Speaker 3: Well, John's dad had it. It was a terrible, terrible Okay,

any good podcasts?
Speaker 4: Somebody made a recommendation on our Facebook page of one
that was saying that we they wanted us to. They
said that we talked about it, but I don't remember
talking about it. I don't even know who these people were.
Speaker 2: Did you see that post?
Speaker 4: It's a wondery podcast and it's uh, I don't know.
I don't know the story.
Speaker 3: Oh, I don't know. Was it his hysterical No, it
wasn't that.
Speaker 2: Okay, it wasn't very funny either.
Speaker 3: Oh, it's a crime one. Yeah, it was a crime. Yes,
it was a crime one.
Speaker 4: But it was somebody saying, like, I'm following there anybody
following the case.
Speaker 2: Of And it was two people's names, and.
Speaker 3: I think I did see that post, and I don't
think I knew the story.
Speaker 4: Yeah, but then somebody said, oh, Lena and Stephanie talked
about it, and I was like, I don't remember talking
about it.
Speaker 3: Interesting, we should I'll try to look that up.
Speaker 2: What are you listening to?
Speaker 3: Well? I found a new podcast that is a very
popular podcast. It's a true crime podcast, but it's not
gory like some of the other ones. It's called Red Handed.
Have you ever listened to that? It's two women. They're
both British, very listenable, they're smart, are kind of funny.
They swear a little bit, but they're not really trying
to be funny. They're not. It's not comedy. They're covering
cases and I really like their opinions about stuff. And
you know the story of Karen Reid. Have you heard
of this story?
Speaker 2: I just watched it on twenty twenty?
Speaker 3: You did? Yeah? Okay, So I just listened to the
twenty twenty about it? Oh yeah, okay, okay, so okay, Yeah.
There's a lot of conspiracy theories. This is this woman
who is being accused of murdering her cop boyfriend or
husting boy married the boyfriend or boyfriend, So there they people.
People think that there was a cover up and that
some of his friends, including another cop, are the ones
that killed him. He was found in the snow. She
they're saying that she hit him with her car. Her
rear tail light was cracked. Yes, and they found shards
of the tail light around by his body. Yeah. Okay.
So but a lot of people, because there's some like
YouTuber that got really into the fact that there's a
conspiracy and that it was she was framed for it,
and a lot of people feel like she is innocent. Yes,
So I was looking stuff up on Reddit and a
lot of people think she's innocent. And then there's been
some podcasts that are really summer for it being a
conspiracy and some think that she was guilty. Well, I
listened to the twenty twenty and you know know what
I know, and I was like, she's one hundred percent guilty. Really, Yeah,
you think that's how I feel. I feel given the
evidence and her personality. She was real drunk. There's there's
you know, I'm not going to go into the whole
case because but from what I felt, I think it's
pretty clear that she did it. So somebody said, if
you listen to the podcast red Handed. They feel that
she did it. So I was like, well, I listened
to this podcast, so I can have some confirmation bias,
you know, right. So I listened to that podcast and
I was like, yeah, they were saying the same things
I was saying. Like they they brought up all the
reasons that it could be a setup, that she could
have been framed. They said all the things that people think,
but they're like, but also, how do you counterbalance this
piece of evidence and how do you I mean, his
DNA was found on this like on her car, on
his hair, his hair was on her bumper, Like I
don't know. I just don't know how that gets there
unless she hit him with her car. But anyway, I
listened to that those episodes, there's like three episodes, and
I was like, regardless, I really like these women. Then
I looked up their podcast reviews and so many people
were hating. They're a very big podcast, they're very popular.
But a bunch of people were like, fuck you for
you didn't you don't know what you're talking about. This
was so ignorant, like it was clearly like she's innocent.
And I was like, oh, I like it. I like
the fact that they're not afraid to say the thing
that in this political climate, yeah, they'll just go create
like if they all think one thing, then they're just
gonna hate on you. Yes, they tried to sink their
reviews of their their Apple reviews. So I was like,
I'm gonna go back and listen to other episodes that
they did. Yeah, so they did it. I'm right in
the middle right now. I listened to a few that
were really good. They talked about this one case that
you would have loved, and some of their cases are British,
so they talked about this guy can't remember his name,
who was like a TV presenter, host, famous comedian, and
he was accused of murdering a guy that he found
met at a bar that came back to his house
for a party and then he was found dead in
their pool, a swimming pool. That was a good case. Yeah. Anyway,
now I'm listening because you know, I can't be bothered
to watch this special about it. They're coverage of this
old coverage of the Scott Peterson.
Speaker 2: Oh interesting, And I love them.
Speaker 3: They're just they're they're just they they're funny. Yeah, like
I said, not trying to be funny. But they're just like, uh, hello,
Like I know that this doesn't mean that he's guilty,
but like he this.
Speaker 4: Is yes, I just they're they're very Oh, I can't wait.
I want to listen.
Speaker 3: I can't. I'm gonna listen to them. Yeah, I really
like it, red handed. Red handed.
Speaker 4: Well, here's the one thing about the Karen Reid story
that I don't understand.
Speaker 3: And maybe I mean, I'm not.
Speaker 4: A cop so or detective, right, but what I don't
get is they they're so they say that he died
because she hit him with her car, but when he's
in the snow, like, uh, how do you get that
much damage to that light by hitting when you're backing in? Well,
they're saying that I guess that she backed into him
and that they they're saying that she probably didn't know
she did, or you're saying that she did it on purpose,
because if it's one thing.
Speaker 3: I think she did it on purpose. I think they
got in a fight and I think he was like
fuck you got out of the car. He was already
planning to break up with her, right, That's what his
kid said. His niece and nephew, Yeah, were like it
was a bad relationship. She was constantly screaming fights with him.
She was super jealous. She was mad at him. That night.
I think she dropped him off and he was like,
get the fuck out of here, we're broken up, and
she was like, oh really, and then she got mad
and hit him. Then she started leaving him message after
message after message, and she was drunk, and people were like, well,
why would she have been calling him and leaving him
messages if she knew she killed him. I don't know
if she knew she killed him. I think she hit
him on purpose, okay, But I also think she was
drunk and really angry and trying to justify her about
it that because she was like screaming at him and going,
you're a pedophile, right, you know? I mean it was like, yes,
she had a lot of anger.
Speaker 4: I just the thing that I didn't get is, Okay,
if you're gonna hit somebody with your car, uh, it's
not wouldn't you be It wouldn't be easier to hit
them head on and not back into them. So what
I was saying is, when you're backing into somebody, do
you get that much damage and that much trauma by
backing into somebody I could see, like if they fell
and whatever ran over the guy and killed him. But
to get that much damage out of a tail light
just by backing into somebody, doesn't. I don't get how
much that impact. None unless she did it on purpose
and then she hit him really fucking hard, then yeah.
Speaker 3: Yeah. But if she's no, I think she hit him
for sure on purpose, on purpose, yes, okay, why would she? Afterwards?
Why was she going like I wonder if he got
hit by a snowplow. Like he hadn't even been gone
very long at that point, you know. She was like,
he's missing. Could he have been hit by a snowplow? Yeah? Yeah,
that was her first thought.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm gonna have to watch that twenty twenty again
because I kept falling asleep.
Speaker 3: Yeah, darted bear syndrome is real. I know it is.
In fact, during Inglorious Bastards last night, John was like,
do we need to split this into two parts? Because
you know that would have been a good idea. Yeah,
and that you stayed up. I made it through the
whole thing. Wow. By the way, we're bringing Peepo to
the vet today. She's like, I'm trying to convince myself.
I'm trying to comfort myself with the idea that dogs
don't do well in this kind of extreme heat. No,
they know, so, I think because part of me is like, damn,
she's declining fast for her age. But then another part
of me is like, well, I believe she was kind
of like this a year ago when it was really hot.
She's just very like anxious at night and kind of
like very restless, and it's been harder for her to
just go to sleep at night, and she's like whining
at us and kind of barking at us and upset.
But I am remember I told you a while ago
that I had heard of this shot called the Librella
shot that's for dogs with arthritis. And then I was like,
they're going to make me come in and do a
consultation and do blood work. Anyway, we're going to do it.
We're doing it today. Oh good, So I'm going to
have I'm making a list of all the things that
are going on with her.
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's good. I mean, do you wouldn't you take
her out for her walks.
Speaker 3: So in this heat? Yeah, so early in the morning.
I walk her at like seven thirty in the morning,
and then we walk her. We just let take her
out to pee at like five five thirty, even though
it's just terribly hot, but she just goes out. She
goes like a couple of lawns. She peas. Then we
bring her in the house and then I take her
out again at like eight thirty, Yeah, for a longer walk.
Speaker 4: Yes, yeah, that's what I've been doing too, because but
even then at eight in the morning, Phil just does
not want to go anywhere in this heat.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it was hot this morning.
Speaker 4: It was hot this morning, I know. And even in
the nighttime it's hot. It's like an oven.
Speaker 3: It was one hundred degrees last night at like eight thirty. Yeah,
it was still one hundred right.
Speaker 4: So Phil, who loves his walks, was just like, no,
he didn't want to go. He just was like I
couldn't get him to go. And yeah, and then it
gets the heat does affect that. This is way ridiculous
this heat. Yeah, it's way too hot for these poor dogs.
Speaker 3: And they have all this fur I now imagine walking
around in a fur coat when it's so hot. So
even though you know, we have central air in our house,
but then in our bedroom is the is the addition
so we have a unit. Yeah, you know, like you're
trying to show our podcast listener unit. Yeah, so we
keep that even a little cooler because that's where Pipo
is all the time. But it's still she's probably still hot,
Yeah it is.
Speaker 4: Phil lays right on my vent and he just sucks
in the cold air and just blows out hot air.
Speaker 3: That's his move.
Speaker 4: It's lays right on top of the vent so that
my room doesn't get cool when he's laying next to
on top of the vents, light on top of it.
Speaker 3: Right, yeah, no good, Yeah, it's gonna start cooling down soon, right, yeah,
I think today by tomorrow or Wednesday. By Wednesday, Yeah,
today is a hot one. Then tomorrow it's going to
be in the nineties, and then it's going to be
in the seventies on Wednesday and Thursday and Friday and
Saturday and Sunday. Yeah hell yeah, hell yeah.
