Unveiling the Rebrand

Unfiltered Union

In this whirlwind episode of Unfiltered Union, Russ and Lindz navigate the chaotic waters of rebranding, riveting guest encounters, and the unfiltered realities of the entertainment industry. They kick off with a candid reflection on their recent guests, from Bitcoin sage Chris Reavis to Sergio Halabi with his ancient civilization revelations, and the insightful Reverend Katie O'Donnell. The conversation takes a darker turn as they delve into the harrowing documentary "Quiet on Set," exposing the underbelly of childhood stardom and the systemic abuses in Hollywood.


From there, they shift gears to share their amusement park escapades, detailing the highs and lows of their family adventures across Busch Gardens, Adventure Island, and SeaWorld. The thrills of touching dolphins (or "large pickles," as their daughter would say) are weighed against the frustrations of overcrowded parks and subpar food experiences.


The episode crescendos with a discussion on "sleep divorce," pondering the pros and cons of snoozing separately for the sake of restful nights. And in true Unfiltered Union fashion, they cap it off with a Kid Rock tweet that's as outrageous as it is hilarious, leaving listeners with a taste of the unapologetic, uncensored spirit that Russ and Lindz bring to every show.

00:00:01.760 --> 00:00:09.380
This is Lynns. This is Russ. And we're married. Are we? Yep. Since 2013. We're the hosts of the Unfiltered Union podcast.

2
00:00:09.705 --> 00:00:19.165
Where we discuss popular headlines and interview interesting people. Our opinions may vary, but we will never censor our guests or our viewpoints. Welcome to the Unfiltered Union.

3
00:00:20.890 --> 00:00:23.710
Welcome to the Infiltered Union. The what?

4
00:00:24.090 --> 00:00:26.990
I know. In case you didn't notice, we rebranded.

5
00:00:27.450 --> 00:00:38.095
That we did. And that took a while because of all the work, but I think it was worth it. I think so too. And I think with all of the new guests that we've had, it really goes hand in hand with our rebrand

6
00:00:38.400 --> 00:00:39.380
and that we're having

7
00:00:40.079 --> 00:00:43.940
interesting people come on and not filtering out any opinions

8
00:00:45.280 --> 00:00:47.860
of ourselves or the others. Yeah. We don't

9
00:00:48.325 --> 00:00:53.625
censor people here. Absolutely. Even if we don't like them or or not like them. That sounds really bad.

10
00:00:54.085 --> 00:01:00.920
Even if we don't agree with what they're saying There you go. You can believe what you wanna believe. Everyone deserves a voice. Exactly.

11
00:01:01.460 --> 00:01:08.195
And I do wanna go through kind of a roll call on our last bunch of guests because we had a lot in between our,

12
00:01:08.495 --> 00:01:09.795
you know, 1 on 1

13
00:01:10.095 --> 00:01:17.650
talks. For sure. And Chris Reavis was our most recent. He's a Bitcoin expert and author of 3 books.

14
00:01:17.950 --> 00:01:25.615
And we will for sure have him back. Yes. He's got a his 3rd book is actually coming out next month or no. May. Sorry. May 2024.

15
00:01:26.555 --> 00:01:27.055
And

16
00:01:27.435 --> 00:01:30.735
Sergio Halaby is an independent researcher from Bahrain

17
00:01:31.274 --> 00:01:31.774
who

18
00:01:32.079 --> 00:01:33.700
studies ancient civilizations.

19
00:01:34.320 --> 00:01:40.259
A world away. It is crazy that we get to talk to somebody who's so far away and

20
00:01:40.675 --> 00:01:41.335
have these

21
00:01:41.795 --> 00:01:47.895
amazing conversations. It was enlightening to me. Me too. That I would I've always been super interested in

22
00:01:48.580 --> 00:01:50.520
pyramids and ancient civilizations

23
00:01:51.220 --> 00:01:55.080
because of the lack of knowledge that we're taught, and just

24
00:02:01.435 --> 00:02:01.935
Reverend

25
00:02:03.275 --> 00:02:05.890
Katie O'Dunn, OCD Reverend Katie O'Dunn, OCD

26
00:02:06.430 --> 00:02:06.930
expert

27
00:02:07.550 --> 00:02:09.410
and advocate. She

28
00:02:11.070 --> 00:02:18.255
designs treatment plans for people who have OCD that are religious because sometimes you might not be able to do certain ERP

29
00:02:18.555 --> 00:02:20.575
therapies based upon your religion.

30
00:02:21.319 --> 00:02:27.180
That conversation was crazy too. With your experience in OCD versus someone

31
00:02:27.560 --> 00:02:30.335
experiencing it on the religious front, I mean,

32
00:02:30.875 --> 00:02:34.895
you don't think of these things. Right? Like No. Like, trying to

33
00:02:35.435 --> 00:02:37.695
tell a Jewish person to not be kosher.

34
00:02:38.075 --> 00:02:43.280
Right. That's insane. You can't do that. Mhmm. They will quit therapy. Right.

35
00:02:43.740 --> 00:02:47.600
And then Phoebe Pierpoint, who is a coach for entrepreneurs,

36
00:02:47.900 --> 00:02:49.305
she was awesome.

37
00:02:50.245 --> 00:02:54.105
She talks all about changing mindsets and unlocking your potential.

38
00:02:54.485 --> 00:02:58.430
And I think one of the things that she really did for us was ask the question. She said, what what

39
00:02:58.909 --> 00:03:13.525
what is your goal with this podcast? And Yeah. I mean, you and I have talked about that a 1000000 times over, but actually having somebody ask that and then explain it. I mean Oh, yeah. You can just tell right there Phoebe is on point with this with her goals. On point. Right.

40
00:03:13.825 --> 00:03:17.390
See what I did there? Well, the answer to that question too

41
00:03:17.850 --> 00:03:22.430
changed. It morphed for me. I'm and I'm pretty sure it morphed for you too

42
00:03:22.730 --> 00:03:29.584
that at first we did this as a hobby. Yeah. We enjoyed it. It was fun to kind of sit down and break down latest headlines,

43
00:03:30.205 --> 00:03:33.200
but as we've morphed into more of like this interview

44
00:03:33.740 --> 00:03:38.800
style, I get to talk to people that I would never talk to For sure. Aside from

45
00:03:39.100 --> 00:03:39.920
these interviews.

46
00:03:40.255 --> 00:03:44.515
Absolutely. I think there are so many people in the world who have stories to tell,

47
00:03:44.975 --> 00:03:48.755
and I honestly don't care what the story is. I think that anyone

48
00:03:49.100 --> 00:03:51.920
who has something that they would like to say and can say it well,

49
00:03:52.540 --> 00:03:55.280
let us know. Come on to the Unfiltered Union

50
00:03:55.820 --> 00:03:58.880
and join us and be a guest. Yes. If you do have

51
00:03:59.325 --> 00:04:03.745

and we'll try to schedule you and get you on and talk about your story. Absolutely.

56
00:04:17.725 --> 00:04:23.265
And all the things that have been happening here at Unfiltered Union with the rebrand and then all of our guests,

57
00:04:23.810 --> 00:04:35.514
there's also a lot going on in the world right now. Yeah. It's not good. Yeah. It's weighty again even though. Yeah. I know. It's a common theme. But it makes me wonder what's going on, what's what's happening

58
00:04:36.134 --> 00:04:37.595
that they don't want us to know.

59
00:04:38.294 --> 00:04:38.794
Honestly,

60
00:04:39.095 --> 00:04:40.474
I don't know if it's

61
00:04:40.840 --> 00:04:43.259
the idea of redirection. Right?

62
00:04:43.560 --> 00:04:47.259
Or if this is the real thing because

63
00:04:47.915 --> 00:04:55.775
it's big. Right? Let let's go ahead and say it. We have the documentary out right now called Quiet on Set, and it's all about the Nickelodeon

64
00:04:57.009 --> 00:04:57.750
child stars

65
00:04:58.210 --> 00:04:59.030
who experienced

66
00:04:59.970 --> 00:05:00.949
toxic workplaces,

67
00:05:02.210 --> 00:05:03.190
sexual abuse,

68
00:05:03.650 --> 00:05:20.650
just all around child abuse while on set for these shows. That's so fucked up. It's crazy. And everybody keeps saying if you watch this, it's going to ruin nineties nostalgia type shows for you, like Amanda Bynes' show. I mean, I think based on everything that she's gone through over the most recent years,

69
00:05:21.245 --> 00:05:23.745
you can't watch that show the same. But now knowing

70
00:05:24.205 --> 00:05:24.705
that,

71
00:05:25.245 --> 00:05:26.465
yes, she has

72
00:05:27.005 --> 00:05:30.465
maybe some mental health things that she's going through. But it's understandable.

73
00:05:31.470 --> 00:05:34.450
But there's a reason. Yeah. The mental illness,

74
00:05:34.990 --> 00:05:36.770
most of the time, comes from trauma.

75
00:05:37.150 --> 00:05:42.315
For sure. And she has trauma. Yep. Clearly unresolved trauma.

76
00:05:42.615 --> 00:05:43.675
Absolutely. And

77
00:05:44.055 --> 00:05:48.960
I am watching the documentary. Russ is choosing to opt out, and I respect that because

78
00:05:49.420 --> 00:05:50.400
it is a lot.

79
00:05:51.020 --> 00:05:51.840
But to

80
00:05:52.380 --> 00:05:53.440
hear their stories

81
00:05:53.980 --> 00:06:03.585
and watch their body language as they're telling them, like, you you know that they are reliving trauma, like, trying to get this information out there. Yeah. That's

82
00:06:04.540 --> 00:06:08.960
no child should ever have to go through that. And what breaks my brain

83
00:06:09.500 --> 00:06:10.240
is that

84
00:06:10.700 --> 00:06:13.765
these people that are not only accused,

85
00:06:14.385 --> 00:06:16.485
but there's even some that have been convicted

86
00:06:16.945 --> 00:06:18.245
are still in the business.

87
00:06:18.625 --> 00:06:33.715
Yeah. And some of them haven't been arrested for the things that they've been accused for. And I get it. You can't just accuse somebody and expect them to go to jail. You have to go through the process and prove it. Right? And I think that's one of the good things about our justice system. But it's so crazy to me

88
00:06:34.254 --> 00:06:41.530
that all of these people are speaking out against one person, and nothing has happened to them. Innocent until proven guilty.

89
00:06:42.310 --> 00:06:44.090
You can't just take

90
00:06:44.550 --> 00:06:46.570
word for it. You have to prove it.

91
00:06:47.245 --> 00:06:47.745
Guilt

92
00:06:48.365 --> 00:06:51.425
has to be proven by the accusing party.

93
00:06:51.965 --> 00:07:13.764
I get it. I do too. It's it's hard, though, especially with all of this stuff that's happening with Nickelodeon. These are children. Well, and it was 20, 30 years ago at this point too. Do you prove that at this point? Right. That's the that's the messed up part. Exactly. And then They didn't have Internet and stuff back in the day. They didn't have Netflix. So it was hard for them to find somebody,

94
00:07:14.169 --> 00:07:14.990
most likely,

95
00:07:15.290 --> 00:07:16.270
to help them

96
00:07:16.730 --> 00:07:21.389
spread their voice because the you know, Hollywood is just one big giant

97
00:07:21.855 --> 00:07:22.175
cult

98
00:07:22.895 --> 00:07:24.195
Yep. In my opinion.

99
00:07:26.095 --> 00:07:28.115
Well, it's it's strange.

100
00:07:28.495 --> 00:07:32.669
1 big figure in there in in Nickelodeon TV was

101
00:07:33.129 --> 00:07:36.590
in court, and he his his side of the house was packed.

102
00:07:36.935 --> 00:07:44.075
Right. So Of supporters. What you're talking about is Drake Bell's abuser. And I'm not even gonna say that person's name because they're a piece of shit.

103
00:07:44.535 --> 00:07:52.509
He was convicted, accused, and convicted of sexually abusing Drake Bell. And during the Sentencing? Thank you. During sentencing,

104
00:07:53.395 --> 00:08:02.215
his entire side of the courtroom was filled up with people in support of this individual even though He was convicted. He was convicted of sexually abusing a child.

105
00:08:02.520 --> 00:08:11.515
That's unreal to me that anybody would support somebody that did something like that, and he was convicted. He he was guilty. It is crazy.

106
00:08:12.135 --> 00:08:16.075
And now add a layer. Right? Now you have Diddy.

107
00:08:16.535 --> 00:08:17.275
The diddler.

108
00:08:18.509 --> 00:08:20.449
Yeah. There's all kinds of Comedians.

109
00:08:21.389 --> 00:08:24.770
Yeah. Going off some of the diddlers. Really fucking fucking

110
00:08:25.229 --> 00:08:25.889
It's crazy.

111
00:08:26.190 --> 00:08:26.690
But

112
00:08:27.285 --> 00:08:28.665
you have Diddy who

113
00:08:29.205 --> 00:08:31.225
had a mansion, a compound

114
00:08:31.605 --> 00:08:36.025
Yeah. In Miami that was raided, and he fled the country before the raid happened.

115
00:08:36.500 --> 00:08:43.000
Which seems like, to me, somebody must have tipped him off. And what he's being accused of is human sex

116
00:08:43.459 --> 00:08:43.959
trafficking.

117
00:08:44.660 --> 00:08:45.800
I don't get it.

118
00:08:46.255 --> 00:08:49.155
This is, like, wave after wave after wave. And

119
00:08:49.775 --> 00:08:50.675
we people

120
00:08:50.975 --> 00:08:55.235
we people all are being shown evidence of these disgusting people,

121
00:08:55.660 --> 00:08:59.920
but still nothing happens. Right. Does fame come at a cost?

122
00:09:01.100 --> 00:09:05.535
Well, yes. Do you have to sell your soul to become famous and rich?

123
00:09:06.495 --> 00:09:13.315
I really hope not. I hope not too. I really wanna believe that there are good people. Right? Like, there's good people.

124
00:09:13.710 --> 00:09:15.970
When I think of, like, nostalgic

125
00:09:16.430 --> 00:09:18.850
nineties shows, Boy Meets World's a big one for me.

126
00:09:19.310 --> 00:09:20.690
And the fact that Will Friedel

127
00:09:21.070 --> 00:09:30.245
and Rider Strong. Rider Strong wrote letters on behalf of Drake Bell's abuser. The convicted guy. Now, there was an asterisk on all this that said that they

128
00:09:30.730 --> 00:09:34.670
may or may not have known what he was convicted of. They may or may not have known,

129
00:09:35.370 --> 00:09:43.415
you know, what was happening with the abuser at the time, but, like, that hit me hard. Yeah. But how do you write a character

130
00:09:44.274 --> 00:09:47.255
statement on someone and not know what he did?

131
00:09:47.740 --> 00:09:53.760
I don't know. I they did a whole I think they did an episode on Podbean's World that I need to go listen to

132
00:09:54.300 --> 00:09:55.920
because that one hit me hard.

133
00:09:56.345 --> 00:10:05.165
But going back to Diddy, like, you have all of these prominent people who are being named for Epstein Island, and all these prominent people who are

134
00:10:05.860 --> 00:10:14.120
getting raided and have it I I can't wrap my head around it. You don't you know what's weird is we still haven't really seen that full client list.

135
00:10:14.645 --> 00:10:18.025
Well, someone I saw, you know, a comment because

136
00:10:19.125 --> 00:10:21.785
Facebook, Instagram, all social media is just so reliable.

137
00:10:22.950 --> 00:10:45.300
They're working the list. Right? What do you mean you're working the list? Going down each person and trying to figure out what their role is in any of it. You know, like, Diddy, it well, apparently, was on the list and look what happened. Well, maybe that's true. Maybe. But I just I I don't trust the government to do the right thing either. It's just breaking my brain, and it's so heavy. I mean, seriously, though, think about it. Do you

138
00:10:46.420 --> 00:10:48.680
why does it seem very common

139
00:10:49.134 --> 00:10:49.954
in Hollywood

140
00:10:50.415 --> 00:10:51.795
to have abusers

141
00:10:52.815 --> 00:10:53.875
as head figures?

142
00:10:54.415 --> 00:10:55.154
I'm serious.

143
00:10:55.774 --> 00:10:56.595
Harvey Weinstein.

144
00:10:57.055 --> 00:10:57.555
Mhmm.

145
00:10:58.140 --> 00:11:04.800
Now this Dan Schneider. Yeah. This this Dan Snyder stuff. The abuser of Drake Bell and me.

146
00:11:05.260 --> 00:11:06.000
It's confusing.

147
00:11:06.700 --> 00:11:07.440
Is it

148
00:11:07.805 --> 00:11:10.385
something you have to do to become famous?

149
00:11:11.085 --> 00:11:11.585
Maybe.

150
00:11:12.125 --> 00:11:16.545
This is conspiracy level shit that I'm talking about, but it just makes me wonder.

151
00:11:17.180 --> 00:11:20.399
I honestly don't know which way is up on this shit. I know

152
00:11:20.940 --> 00:11:21.839
people say that

153
00:11:22.300 --> 00:11:27.925
in movies and video or in movies and shows that they are trying to tell us things before they happen. Right?

154
00:11:28.305 --> 00:11:31.910
I don't know. I don't know which way is up on all this. I don't like it,

155
00:11:32.550 --> 00:11:35.370
period. Especially the Nickelodeon shit where

156
00:11:35.910 --> 00:11:38.329
that was mine and your childhood, and

157
00:11:38.790 --> 00:11:41.129
these kids that we watched religiously

158
00:11:42.055 --> 00:11:42.795
were abused.

159
00:11:43.415 --> 00:11:47.195
It's crazy. It makes me sad, and it makes me super freaking mad.

160
00:11:48.055 --> 00:11:50.235
Yeah. At this point, the only thing I can

161
00:11:50.720 --> 00:11:51.220
think

162
00:11:51.680 --> 00:12:13.510
about the documentary for Quiet On Set is that they're finally getting their voice out. You know, like, finally being heard. Because Drake Bell had never the record was sealed. He was a minor when it happened. So they didn't put his name in any of it. Right? So he was protected in that way, but obviously, you know, it happened to him. So he never spoke out about it until now. Right. And I think

163
00:12:14.130 --> 00:12:17.545
the only way to heal is to talk about it, whether that's in therapy

164
00:12:18.485 --> 00:12:20.745
or try and get some sort of

165
00:12:21.125 --> 00:12:25.630
redemption from it. You know? Like, try to move beyond it. So good for them.

166
00:12:26.730 --> 00:12:30.270
But, man, is it a lot. It's heavy. It's sad

167
00:12:30.650 --> 00:12:36.464
because that he's just one of 1 on the long list of kids that was abused

168
00:12:36.845 --> 00:12:40.464
Yep. In the TV industry, and that's fucked up. Yep.

169
00:12:40.810 --> 00:12:42.110
Well, speaking of Nickelodeon,

170
00:12:42.970 --> 00:12:45.310
the new Avatar show came out

171
00:12:45.770 --> 00:12:46.510
on Netflix,

172
00:12:47.130 --> 00:12:56.075
god, probably a month ago now. Right? Yeah. It's been a while. We'd had a lot of interviews. But, anyway, so the the Avatar, The Last Airbender live action came out on Netflix.

173
00:12:56.695 --> 00:12:58.395
So good. We binged it.

174
00:12:59.560 --> 00:13:00.860
And Hey.

175
00:13:01.240 --> 00:13:07.980
Okay. We'll get to that in a second. Remember that you said we binged it. Remember you said that. Keep going. We watched it, and

176
00:13:08.685 --> 00:13:10.065
I thought it was good.

177
00:13:10.524 --> 00:13:11.024
Now

178
00:13:11.485 --> 00:13:18.305
I will put a disclaimer on that, though. Don't go in thinking it's gonna be the cartoon because it's nowhere near as fleshed out as that,

179
00:13:18.750 --> 00:13:19.250
But

180
00:13:19.709 --> 00:13:20.610
on its own,

181
00:13:20.990 --> 00:13:22.050
it was very good,

182
00:13:22.589 --> 00:13:23.569
in my opinion.

183
00:13:24.110 --> 00:13:24.930
I agree

184
00:13:25.764 --> 00:13:31.225
that if you go into it not trying to compare it to the cartoon, then you'll probably have a better experience.

185
00:13:31.685 --> 00:13:34.005
But I still feel like there was so

186
00:13:34.819 --> 00:13:36.360
well, actually, it's both. Right?

187
00:13:36.740 --> 00:13:38.680
If you go into it thinking

188
00:13:39.220 --> 00:13:43.879
or not trying to compare it to the cartoon, it's good. And you get a lot of detail.

189
00:13:44.475 --> 00:14:03.015
Some that wasn't in the cartoon. Right. But also the vice versa is true where you watch the cartoon and try to pair it up to the live action and some details missing. A lot of the I will say a lot of details missing. Right. I mean, they were of course, you know, going from a cartoon that's

190
00:14:03.654 --> 00:14:04.795
I forget how many

191
00:14:05.334 --> 00:14:05.834
Episodes?

192
00:14:06.454 --> 00:14:15.970
Episode. Is that the right word? My brain. How many episodes were in the cartoon, like, per season? It's a lot though. I'm talking, like, maybe thirties or forties.

193
00:14:16.670 --> 00:14:17.170
And

194
00:14:17.825 --> 00:14:33.740
versus doing an 8 episode live action on Netflix. Right? So there's a big difference. You can't get that nuanced. I get that. But there's certain things that just weren't there, like Zuko cutting his hair. Like, that never happened, and it did in the first book.

195
00:14:34.120 --> 00:14:34.620
There's

196
00:14:35.384 --> 00:14:35.884
couple

197
00:14:36.264 --> 00:14:38.605
of key aspects that we're missing.

198
00:14:39.225 --> 00:14:42.980
So, again, I I it's both ways. Like, there's some things

199
00:14:43.360 --> 00:14:48.339
in the show, the live action that weren't in the cartoon and vice versa.

200
00:14:48.640 --> 00:14:49.140
So

201
00:14:49.615 --> 00:15:02.700
I it was good. I will say that. It was good. But are they also going to run into the same issue Stranger Things has where the kids are aging too fast? I don't think so. It's only gonna be 3 seasons, and they've already signed the next 2?

202
00:15:03.320 --> 00:15:05.500
I really do hope it's 3 seasons because

203
00:15:06.165 --> 00:15:06.665
book

204
00:15:07.045 --> 00:15:07.625
3, fire,

205
00:15:08.245 --> 00:15:18.240
that book, I think, was, like, 50 episodes. I could be totally off there, but it was a lot. Yeah. I really do hope they do Toph. Right? Me too. But

206
00:15:18.700 --> 00:15:21.200
I think it was good. Definitely was

207
00:15:22.115 --> 00:15:22.615
cut.

208
00:15:22.995 --> 00:15:29.495
A lot of that those side quests you could say were cut out Mhmm. Just to progress the story a lot faster.

209
00:15:30.060 --> 00:15:35.120
And I do believe maybe Netflix has learned their lesson on child actors and and

210
00:15:35.580 --> 00:15:37.920
trying to get these shows out quick.

211
00:15:38.460 --> 00:15:46.495
Yep. Because it Heaven forbid there's another strike. I mean Right. Jeez. Because now Stranger Things finale is gonna have all adults playing kids. So,

212
00:15:47.834 --> 00:15:48.860
I liked it.

213
00:15:49.500 --> 00:15:53.040
Was it better than the cartoon? Absolutely not. The cartoon is legendary.

214
00:15:53.660 --> 00:15:58.725
Forever. But it it it was good. On its own, it was good. I agree.

215
00:15:59.345 --> 00:16:04.085
The CG aspects of Appa and Momo, like and their actual

216
00:16:04.785 --> 00:16:05.285
bending,

217
00:16:05.640 --> 00:16:24.480
That was all really good. It was nuts. It was a little graphic on certain parts too. Like, the fire bending stuff, it was like, okay. That's a bit much for a child to watch. Yeah. Our 9 year old watched the season with us. And He said, where'd the guy go? We had to fast forward a couple parts, cover her eyes.

218
00:16:25.180 --> 00:16:28.959
But that that that it was good. I would recommend it. Agreed.

219
00:16:29.385 --> 00:16:34.765
And you said when we first started talking about Avatar live action that we binged that.

220
00:16:35.145 --> 00:16:37.245
And we recently just binged

221
00:16:37.630 --> 00:16:40.450
3 Body Problem. Oh, my goodness. And

222
00:16:41.149 --> 00:16:44.130
you said that we hadn't binged in a while. It had been a month.

223
00:16:45.230 --> 00:16:46.450
It's been 2 months.

224
00:16:46.884 --> 00:16:47.384
Okay.

225
00:16:48.644 --> 00:16:49.144
That's

226
00:16:50.805 --> 00:17:01.269
not that's not not very far. We did binge Avatar, but we didn't binge it as hard as 3 body problem because we did have our 9 year old watching it with us because she freaking loves the cartoon.

227
00:17:01.890 --> 00:17:05.110
But talking about 3 body problem That seriously,

228
00:17:06.365 --> 00:17:09.985
For one season, on my top five list already.

229
00:17:10.685 --> 00:17:11.345
A 100%.

230
00:17:11.885 --> 00:17:16.580
I don't know. I don't know if it's definitely top 10, I'll say. I don't know if it's top 5 because

231
00:17:17.600 --> 00:17:20.260
it's quite the cliffhanger, I'll say.

232
00:17:21.040 --> 00:17:26.075
Yeah. You gotta hope that more seasons come out and close up all the blue. Better. Because

233
00:17:26.535 --> 00:17:33.320
if they leave it like this, then I'm probably gonna have to read the books. But I'm gonna read the books anyways, I think. Yeah. Me too. I do want to.

234
00:17:33.620 --> 00:17:34.120
It's

235
00:17:34.900 --> 00:17:47.625
it's so hard for me to even talk about the show because of how twisty and turny it is. At first, you're like, what the fuck is happening? Seriously, the best way I can describe it is inception, except not dreams. It's the universe.

236
00:17:48.085 --> 00:17:49.705
They revealed a lot

237
00:17:50.150 --> 00:18:03.075
in in the first season, which I liked a lot because you're like, what why are these events happening? And they give you these little subtle hints. And then all of a sudden, boom. They're like, alright. We're gonna answer that question that you've had for the first three episodes.

238
00:18:03.455 --> 00:18:11.480
We're gonna answer it. We're gonna straight up tell you what's happening. And you're like, what the fuck? It's almost like overload. Yeah. Yeah. You're like, oh,

239
00:18:11.940 --> 00:18:19.115
holy shit. Yeah. But it was insane. It was or it is so far very amazing.

240
00:18:19.495 --> 00:18:29.180
I freaking loved it. I'm a sci fi dweeb, and this is, like, the perfect show for me. The actors they have too Yes. Are really

241
00:18:29.960 --> 00:18:30.460
good.

242
00:18:30.920 --> 00:18:37.715
Yes. I will go so far to say this is better than their first adaptation, which is Game of Thrones.

243
00:18:38.015 --> 00:18:42.730
I think it's better than Game of Thrones. Get out. Nope. Nope. Goodbye. A 100%.

244
00:18:43.110 --> 00:18:44.730
No. You're lying. No. Because

245
00:18:45.110 --> 00:18:45.929
no. Because

246
00:18:46.470 --> 00:18:51.905
do you remember how die hard we were? I I love Game of Thrones. I'm not saying it's bad. No.

247
00:18:52.305 --> 00:18:57.685
Let me just say, our maternity shoot for our daughter 9 years ago, almost 10,

248
00:18:58.110 --> 00:19:00.050
we had a chalkboard

249
00:19:00.430 --> 00:19:10.495
that said winter is coming and so is our daughter. Mhmm. This is how into God we were, g o t I am Game of Thrones. I'm not You can't say that. Yes. I can

250
00:19:11.035 --> 00:19:11.535
because

251
00:19:12.075 --> 00:19:15.375
I prefer sci fi over fantasy, and

252
00:19:15.720 --> 00:19:20.360
there wasn't much mind fuckery in game of thrones. It was more of like this static

253
00:19:21.000 --> 00:19:30.205
Political scheme. Yeah. Which I love. Don't get me wrong. But this one is like you literally say holy shit almost every other episode because you're like,

254
00:19:30.585 --> 00:19:31.725
did that just happen?

255
00:19:32.345 --> 00:19:33.485
Holy shit.

256
00:19:34.430 --> 00:19:37.810
I remember looking at you, like, 10 times an episode, like,

257
00:19:38.510 --> 00:19:39.010
what?

258
00:19:39.390 --> 00:19:57.110
But I still feel like the idea of inception, right, Where you have to we have to go back and rewatch that with the things that we know now about it. I agree. Because there's so many underlying metaphors, things that are said, but not that are, you know, said, metaphors, things that are said but not that are, you know, said in a certain way but means something else.

259
00:19:57.570 --> 00:20:04.965
It it's a mind fuck, for sure. Yeah. I liked it a lot, and I can't wait for, hopefully,

260
00:20:05.745 --> 00:20:12.250
the next couple of seasons. I feel like I know more about physics after watching it too. I pretend to know more about physics.

261
00:20:12.870 --> 00:20:13.370
I

262
00:20:13.990 --> 00:20:19.525
know that I am physically here. Yeah. And I don't even wanna discuss this too deep because of how

263
00:20:20.145 --> 00:20:24.805
insane the twists and turns are. It's nuts. I don't wanna spoil anything.

264
00:20:25.140 --> 00:20:30.340
Just know that it was amazing. I really wanna read the books. I do too. I feel like it would be

265
00:20:30.740 --> 00:20:37.735
although it's probably gonna be one of those where I struggle with a lot of the Like Game of Thrones. Yeah. Names and places.

266
00:20:38.115 --> 00:20:41.335
Oh, especially since it's a, it's a Chinese novel,

267
00:20:41.794 --> 00:20:57.154
and the characters' names don't translate 1 for 1 to the book. Yeah. But that's okay. Gonna break my brain, but that's good. We've got a lot of books to read. You have a lot of books to read to tell me about. No. Because we have Chris's book coming out in May, and then we also have

268
00:20:57.855 --> 00:21:00.595
these books for 3 Body Problem. I mean,

269
00:21:01.190 --> 00:21:01.850
oh. Yeah.

270
00:21:02.390 --> 00:21:07.210
Crazy. I yeah. How smart do you have to be in order to write a book like that?

271
00:21:07.750 --> 00:21:21.720
But, I mean, we seriously, we have been on a kick of watching TV recently. Yes. That's because good shows are actually coming out. Right. The strike is over. Show guns out. I was getting ready to go there. Glad we're one mind.

272
00:21:22.580 --> 00:21:25.960
So Shogun is another one that that's on FX. Right? Yes.

273
00:21:26.495 --> 00:21:27.535
It is all about the,

274
00:21:28.975 --> 00:21:29.475
Japans

275
00:21:29.775 --> 00:21:30.915
back in the

276
00:21:31.375 --> 00:21:34.995
what is it? 1600? Is it is it considered feudal Japan?

277
00:21:35.375 --> 00:21:36.115
Oh, yeah.

278
00:21:36.470 --> 00:21:39.130
I think. Is that what they call that age for Japan?

279
00:21:40.070 --> 00:21:40.570
Feudalism?

280
00:21:41.110 --> 00:21:45.975
Feudal? Maybe. I think that's what it Time of the samurai. Yes. Essentially, the shogun

281
00:21:46.515 --> 00:21:49.015
rule and things of that nature. Absolutely.

282
00:21:49.395 --> 00:21:53.815
Anyways There was, the rise of the Catholic church there too Yes. With the Portuguese.

283
00:21:54.320 --> 00:21:59.299
Yes. So Shogun's all about a man from England who sails to Japan

284
00:21:59.840 --> 00:22:00.980
trying to find

285
00:22:01.335 --> 00:22:04.235
what the Portuguese have been, quote, unquote, hiding.

286
00:22:04.695 --> 00:22:12.230
It's supposed to be this big trade that they have with Japan Yeah. And full of riches, and England wants in on it. Portugal

287
00:22:12.770 --> 00:22:13.750
is getting rich

288
00:22:14.050 --> 00:22:17.990
off of Japan, and they're kind of trying to keep it to themselves. Right.

289
00:22:18.505 --> 00:22:19.005
So

290
00:22:19.305 --> 00:22:21.485
the gentleman from England makes it there

291
00:22:21.945 --> 00:22:24.925
and then then ensues all the political

292
00:22:26.020 --> 00:22:26.520
samurai,

293
00:22:26.980 --> 00:22:27.480
shogun

294
00:22:28.340 --> 00:22:33.480
world of Japan that this gentleman from Britain is forced into. Right. And

295
00:22:33.975 --> 00:22:36.795
culture stuff. Like, the culture shock he experiences.

296
00:22:37.415 --> 00:22:37.915
Well,

297
00:22:38.215 --> 00:22:39.355
I'm trying to get this

298
00:22:39.895 --> 00:22:42.470
to come out of my head. Right? The idea that

299
00:22:42.929 --> 00:22:45.669
anybody from a different country

300
00:22:46.130 --> 00:22:49.269
calls the person that is native a savage. Right?

301
00:22:49.785 --> 00:22:51.005
That idea of

302
00:22:51.785 --> 00:22:54.765
they, as in the Japanese, are calling this guy from

303
00:22:55.145 --> 00:22:59.500
England a savage. Calling him a barbarian, and he's calling them savages. Right.

304
00:23:00.300 --> 00:23:00.800
So

305
00:23:01.180 --> 00:23:06.640
it's like It's really funny. But it's like, who's right? You know? I mean, I know neither of them are, but

306
00:23:06.985 --> 00:23:10.845
who's right in that situation? Because you have the gentleman from

307
00:23:11.225 --> 00:23:13.565
England who won't take more than

308
00:23:14.080 --> 00:23:17.140
one bath a week. Yeah. I don't wanna get the flux.

309
00:23:18.160 --> 00:23:19.540
Because of dysentery,

310
00:23:20.000 --> 00:23:26.505
which is because, you know, back then, they had unclean water in England. There's a huge population in a small area, which

311
00:23:26.805 --> 00:23:29.545
lent itself towards shit water. Exactly.

312
00:23:29.940 --> 00:23:35.720
Whereas in Japan, they didn't have that problem. Nope. So they bathed all the time. Right. They had bathhouses.

313
00:23:36.020 --> 00:23:38.520
Like, this was a thing. Yep.

314
00:23:39.015 --> 00:23:44.715
So who's right? Obviously, neither. But the idea of the culture clash

315
00:23:45.335 --> 00:23:51.510
is huge in this show. Well And it is beautiful to watch, in my opinion. Yes. And

316
00:23:52.130 --> 00:23:55.110
I will say that I am kind of on

317
00:23:55.625 --> 00:23:57.165
the UK guy's side

318
00:23:57.625 --> 00:23:59.805
and freaking out over their culture.

319
00:24:00.345 --> 00:24:03.325
It is rigid. It's so rigid. So

320
00:24:03.690 --> 00:24:09.710
spoiler alert right now for real because at the very beginning of the show spoiler alert. Yeah. There is

321
00:24:10.330 --> 00:24:13.625
a scene where a guy speaks out of turn. Yep.

322
00:24:14.045 --> 00:24:14.545
And

323
00:24:14.965 --> 00:24:16.745
it's a huge sign of disrespect.

324
00:24:17.285 --> 00:24:25.050
In defense of his, quote, unquote, Lord, if you will. And and then the Lord of the Kingdom that he lives in. Mhmm. I don't know. Fief.

325
00:24:25.430 --> 00:24:26.570
Whatever it's called.

326
00:24:27.190 --> 00:24:28.810
FIFIFO FUM. Yeah.

327
00:24:29.270 --> 00:24:30.890
He spoke out of turn

328
00:24:31.350 --> 00:24:31.850
and

329
00:24:33.995 --> 00:24:38.895
he had to kill himself and kill his infant son to stop his bloodline.

330
00:24:39.500 --> 00:24:40.159
I'm like,

331
00:24:41.100 --> 00:24:43.520
holy shit. Just for talking. Yep.

332
00:24:43.900 --> 00:24:44.880
And the wife

333
00:24:45.419 --> 00:24:48.000
of the guy who just killed himself and the child,

334
00:24:48.595 --> 00:24:51.975
They forced her to stay alive for honor.

335
00:24:52.355 --> 00:24:56.295
Right. And she became the consort of

336
00:24:56.940 --> 00:24:58.720
the barbarian UK guy, and

337
00:25:00.460 --> 00:25:02.960
I thought that dynamic was super interesting too.

338
00:25:03.260 --> 00:25:05.200
The consort doesn't necessarily

339
00:25:05.500 --> 00:25:06.000
mean

340
00:25:06.455 --> 00:25:06.955
pillowing,

341
00:25:09.815 --> 00:25:14.450
but she takes care of the affairs in his house. Yes. So cleanliness

342
00:25:14.830 --> 00:25:24.914
and this isn't to say that she's cleaning his house. She has servants to do that because he's technically this higher ranking person now. But it has to be done in a certain way, again, rigidity.

343
00:25:25.375 --> 00:25:27.235
And she takes care of finances,

344
00:25:27.855 --> 00:25:29.554
like, making sure that

345
00:25:29.950 --> 00:25:32.049
the servants get the dinners ready,

346
00:25:32.350 --> 00:25:32.850
and

347
00:25:33.549 --> 00:25:36.690
it's nuts. Mhmm. It is extremely

348
00:25:37.070 --> 00:25:38.765
interesting watching that, but

349
00:25:39.165 --> 00:25:39.905
that culture

350
00:25:40.605 --> 00:25:41.665
scares me.

351
00:25:43.245 --> 00:25:44.945
I don't know. There's just something.

352
00:25:46.220 --> 00:25:48.560
It's poetic. Right? The whole idea

353
00:25:49.660 --> 00:25:51.120
of this time period

354
00:25:51.660 --> 00:25:54.960
to me, like, the biggest thing out of it is poetry.

355
00:25:55.394 --> 00:25:57.414
Like, haiku is a big thing. I think

356
00:25:57.715 --> 00:25:59.654
it came during this time. And

357
00:26:00.434 --> 00:26:01.495
the way that

358
00:26:01.875 --> 00:26:02.855
they have

359
00:26:04.240 --> 00:26:04.900
the other

360
00:26:05.360 --> 00:26:07.540
well, she her name is Mariko,

361
00:26:08.080 --> 00:26:10.180
and she is the translator

362
00:26:10.480 --> 00:26:16.335
for the guy from the UK. Yes. And the way she describes things, like,

363
00:26:16.955 --> 00:26:17.695
the 8th

364
00:26:18.075 --> 00:26:19.275
wall fence, the

365
00:26:20.330 --> 00:26:21.070
I'm not

366
00:26:21.450 --> 00:26:21.950
really

367
00:26:22.890 --> 00:26:23.950
I'm not really

368
00:26:24.410 --> 00:26:28.430
here in the moment with you. I can be a 1000000 miles away within myself

369
00:26:28.735 --> 00:26:37.395
and protecting myself. Like, the it's poetic, the way they describe things. It's a solid show. It's, I believe it's only a 1 seasoner,

370
00:26:37.920 --> 00:26:40.420
which is unfortunate, but it's based on a book

371
00:26:40.800 --> 00:26:44.740
and it's one book. So they plan on it being over,

372
00:26:45.195 --> 00:26:48.815
and that's it. But it's it's solid. I definitely enjoy that one.

373
00:26:49.115 --> 00:26:50.495
It's it's on the

374
00:26:50.795 --> 00:26:54.175
more violent end of things. So if you're sensitive, probably

375
00:26:54.930 --> 00:26:55.750
skip it.

376
00:26:56.050 --> 00:27:03.835
Well and then my dad told me it's actually a reboot. They did it back in the eighties too, and he said he liked it. Yeah. Totally good show. And,

377
00:27:04.215 --> 00:27:07.275
again, I think we have really kind of immersed ourselves

378
00:27:07.735 --> 00:27:12.980
in Japanese culture at the moment. I love that shit. I've I've always wanted to go to Japan.

379
00:27:13.280 --> 00:27:17.059
One day, I think we will. One day. I feel like I might be really tall.

380
00:27:19.505 --> 00:27:22.165
You're ridiculous. It might be the only place You're

381
00:27:22.545 --> 00:27:23.045
57.

382
00:27:24.385 --> 00:27:26.085
You're not that tall. 59.

383
00:27:26.545 --> 00:27:28.460
Oh, okay. I think you're 57. I'm

384
00:27:28.840 --> 00:27:32.940
59. Okay. Well Go get to a yardstick. I'm 52, so it's fine.

385
00:27:33.240 --> 00:27:33.740
Anyways,

386
00:27:34.120 --> 00:27:37.100
but Japanese culture, our daughter loves

387
00:27:37.525 --> 00:27:38.025
sushi.

388
00:27:38.325 --> 00:27:44.360
She does? I have never met And anime. Yes. And anime. I have never met another 9 year old

389
00:27:44.920 --> 00:27:49.980
that likes sushi as much as she does. And we're not talking about just California roll.

390
00:27:50.280 --> 00:27:51.900
Yep. We're we're talking about

391
00:27:52.325 --> 00:27:52.825
nigiri

392
00:27:53.205 --> 00:27:57.385
Uh-huh. Which is tuna on top of a seasoned ball of rice.

393
00:27:57.845 --> 00:27:58.745
Straight tuna.

394
00:27:59.045 --> 00:28:00.425
Yeah. It's nuts.

395
00:28:00.910 --> 00:28:05.490
She loves it. She so we would go to this this spot,

396
00:28:05.950 --> 00:28:07.010
and I would get

397
00:28:07.310 --> 00:28:13.914
3 different types of of nigiri, which would be salmon, some kind of white fish, and then tuna. She'd steal my tuna.

398
00:28:14.695 --> 00:28:19.560
And Every time. And I and it's okay. She's my daughter, but I wanted that damn tuna.

399
00:28:20.120 --> 00:28:29.020
That's my favorite one on the plate. So now we've started ordering her own. Yes. She gets an order of gyoza. She gets a California roll, and she gets 2 pieces of

400
00:28:29.395 --> 00:28:31.175
the tuna Nigiri. Nigiri.

401
00:28:31.555 --> 00:28:35.175
I don't I'm probably butchering the way you say that, but

402
00:28:35.555 --> 00:28:36.535
it's close enough.

403
00:28:37.160 --> 00:28:38.220
If you say so.

404
00:28:39.080 --> 00:28:42.140
We went to a place actually in Tampa Yes. Called

405
00:28:42.520 --> 00:28:47.645
Kura, k u r a. And it is conveyor belt sushi, and we were in heaven.

406
00:28:47.945 --> 00:28:49.485
I liked it.

407
00:28:50.025 --> 00:28:51.965
I didn't love it. Agreed.

408
00:28:52.265 --> 00:28:53.005
The experience

409
00:28:53.559 --> 00:29:01.740
was top level. You cannot get that experience anywhere else. And I think that's why I enjoyed it so much, especially watching our kiddo. Uh-huh.

410
00:29:02.105 --> 00:29:04.925
She loved it. Oh, yeah. She was in heaven.

411
00:29:05.785 --> 00:29:12.050
I just wish the food was a little bit better. Agreed. You know, when you get to buffets for sushi

412
00:29:12.510 --> 00:29:19.330
or this idea of conveyor belt, right, it's it's going around the belt a couple times. Yes. And it's under Sushi makes me scared.

413
00:29:19.635 --> 00:29:25.335
Hot lights. And we didn't get sickering, and that's not what I'm saying. But, you know, the flavor, the freshness

414
00:29:25.955 --> 00:29:28.195
isn't right to you. Yeah. I like

415
00:29:28.809 --> 00:29:33.470
when we go to our favorite spot, I always get that tri color sushi, but

416
00:29:33.770 --> 00:29:36.190
it always comes out and that fish is cold.

417
00:29:36.495 --> 00:29:48.420
And I love that feeling. I don't know. It's something about that, that the coldness of the fish with the little bit of cold, cold ginger and then a little bit of cold wasabi on the top of it. It's

418
00:29:49.200 --> 00:29:55.355
the shit. You don't really get that there. A lot of the stuff there was room temp. Right? Well and it was

419
00:29:55.815 --> 00:29:56.554
cooked. True.

420
00:29:56.855 --> 00:30:10.530
Another thing that they did was you could actually order straight from the belt. Yes. So they had one that was kinda going around all the tables, but then there was one that would come directly to your table. That was cool. And it would then go ting. Uh-huh. Every time.

421
00:30:10.895 --> 00:30:11.955
The other cool part,

422
00:30:12.415 --> 00:30:13.715
depositing your plates.

423
00:30:14.015 --> 00:30:17.235
Yes. They gamified sushi eating. Every

424
00:30:18.655 --> 00:30:22.180
15 plates. You got a prize. You got a prize.

425
00:30:22.960 --> 00:30:25.780
So we had to eat a lot. We were determined.

426
00:30:26.640 --> 00:30:33.885
We got to 22 plates, so we did get one prize. Yes. We got We couldn't make it any further. But I think it was every 5, you got

427
00:30:34.265 --> 00:30:45.190
a an animation on the screen. So there's a screen at your table too that you can actually order specialty dishes from, which was kind of cool. It would shoot it directly towards you, and that shit was fast. It was cool.

428
00:30:46.105 --> 00:30:49.645
But it was awesome. I I I enjoyed the experience. I just

429
00:30:50.105 --> 00:30:51.565
I'm a sushi

430
00:30:51.945 --> 00:30:53.405
fan too, and I just

431
00:30:53.840 --> 00:30:56.340
very particular about it, I guess. I get

432
00:30:56.880 --> 00:31:00.740
it. But also one of the things that our daughter loves is the Gudetama

433
00:31:01.360 --> 00:31:02.980
show on Netflix. Yes.

434
00:31:03.355 --> 00:31:06.415
It's about an egg who escapes a sushi restaurant.

435
00:31:07.035 --> 00:31:09.515
It's weird. It is, but she likes it.

436
00:31:09.915 --> 00:31:11.535
But they actually have a show

437
00:31:11.980 --> 00:31:18.480
or in the show, they actually have a conveyor belt sushi place. Yes. So, she was again, she loved it. Loved the experience,

438
00:31:18.780 --> 00:31:19.280
and

439
00:31:20.435 --> 00:31:31.320
she even noticed certain things that I didn't while we were there. There was one of the robots that would actually walk go around in her Gudetama show. Take the drinks and stuff. And take drink and serve and take away plates.

440
00:31:32.100 --> 00:31:35.960
There was one in this restaurant Yeah. And she pointed it out to me. Yep.

441
00:31:37.175 --> 00:31:41.515
Okay. I had no idea what that was. Yeah. I mean, I I would go back.

442
00:31:41.815 --> 00:31:42.475
It was

443
00:31:43.095 --> 00:31:44.715
up there in in expense.

444
00:31:45.059 --> 00:31:49.720
I would go back just for the toilets. Oh, see. I didn't go there. Oh my god.

445
00:31:50.419 --> 00:31:59.765
These toilets, they were kinda crazy to me and our daughter, but she I mean, you know, she was amazed too. But they're I believe they're Japanese toilets.

446
00:32:00.465 --> 00:32:02.565
They're no touch. You don't touch.

447
00:32:03.210 --> 00:32:07.710
You can make selections if you want. Selections for what? They have a bidet.

448
00:32:08.810 --> 00:32:09.550
There is

449
00:32:10.010 --> 00:32:12.750
other options of, like, to clean it, like,

450
00:32:13.115 --> 00:32:18.735
enclosed, and there's lights, and Wait. There was so much going on with this toilet. Did you use the bidet?

451
00:32:19.115 --> 00:32:22.790
No. God, no. Why not? I don't know how I feel about a public bidet.

452
00:32:23.250 --> 00:32:31.125
Why? I don't know. It's just blasting water in your bunghole. Right. But blasting water and other water had touched it. I don't know. It just

453
00:32:31.745 --> 00:32:33.524
I don't know how to feel about it,

454
00:32:33.904 --> 00:32:35.605
but it was just a cool toilet.

455
00:32:35.985 --> 00:32:39.445
See, I wish I would've win. Now I have to go back so I can do the toilet.

456
00:32:40.230 --> 00:32:52.775
Oh, no. It was a heated seat too. Because I will try the bidet. It was a heated toilet seat. I will YOLO that bidet. Oh my god. You see, but the only thing that I don't like about that, they say it's more environmentally friendly because you're not using paper.

457
00:32:53.235 --> 00:32:54.855
You gotta dry your butt, though.

458
00:32:55.555 --> 00:33:05.325
You can't just pull your pull your chaps up. This toilet may have a dryer too. You think it dries your butthole? I don't know. There was a lot of options. That answers my question

459
00:33:12.205 --> 00:33:14.304
is. Okay. Put a dryer on the butthole.

460
00:33:14.679 --> 00:33:19.019
Still so much going on in the world. We're going to jump from all things

461
00:33:19.480 --> 00:33:20.700
popular television

462
00:33:21.480 --> 00:33:21.980
and

463
00:33:22.705 --> 00:33:24.785
our experience at that restaurant over to

464
00:33:25.825 --> 00:33:38.240
if you didn't know, Russ and I were were born and raised in the DC Metropolitan area. We lived there our entire lives until we moved to Florida about 3, 4 years ago now. We heard about the bridge collapse in Baltimore. Yeah.

465
00:33:38.665 --> 00:33:39.405
Key Bridge.

466
00:33:40.345 --> 00:33:40.845
Crazy.

467
00:33:41.225 --> 00:33:41.725
Yep.

468
00:33:42.345 --> 00:33:45.005
Absolutely crazy that something like that happened,

469
00:33:45.385 --> 00:33:50.410
where we're from. Like, I mean, we're not directly in that weren't directly in that area, but

470
00:33:51.190 --> 00:33:58.705
that whole area is the Metropolitan of DC. Let me ask you a question. How many bosses do you think said you have to come into work anyway?

471
00:33:59.805 --> 00:34:06.559
Well, apparently, there was no way in or out. That's what I'm talking about. That that that was a a main commuter

472
00:34:06.860 --> 00:34:08.400
Bridge. Bridge. Help.

473
00:34:09.740 --> 00:34:15.055
Right. That's what I'm saying. So if you haven't heard, you can look it up. It's all over social media.

474
00:34:15.435 --> 00:34:16.575
But the key bridge

475
00:34:16.955 --> 00:34:20.175
essentially collapsed after a shipping vessel collided

476
00:34:20.799 --> 00:34:31.675
with the structure, with one of the bridge beams. And you can actually watch the whole video because they have a live video feed of the bridge. So you could see the boat

477
00:34:32.295 --> 00:34:34.315
lose power Twice. Twice

478
00:34:34.855 --> 00:34:37.730
and slam into it. Right. And it's

479
00:34:38.030 --> 00:34:40.770
kinda weird. Here we go. I know.

480
00:34:42.270 --> 00:34:43.810
I am not a bridge expert.

481
00:34:44.405 --> 00:34:48.585
I this is purely opinion. Take it for what you will. You go watch the video. Unfiltered

482
00:34:48.885 --> 00:34:49.865
opinion. Exactly.

483
00:34:51.510 --> 00:34:56.250
We should do that. Make a button. Unfiltered opinion. Every time we start doing this crap.

484
00:34:56.550 --> 00:35:00.885
But go watch the video, and you'll see when the boat strikes it, there's

485
00:35:01.425 --> 00:35:04.325
a good amount of time, at least a couple seconds

486
00:35:05.265 --> 00:35:07.285
before the whole thing falls. I mean,

487
00:35:08.010 --> 00:35:15.950
maybe that's how it's supposed to happen. I don't know. But it's odd. Also on top of that, infrastructure is a big problem

488
00:35:16.805 --> 00:35:17.365
in that

489
00:35:18.085 --> 00:35:20.905
US. In well, yes. True. But also in

490
00:35:21.285 --> 00:35:23.945
the DC area. It is very overpopulated

491
00:35:24.325 --> 00:35:25.465
in the DC area,

492
00:35:25.840 --> 00:35:27.780
and infrastructure is a large problem.

493
00:35:28.240 --> 00:35:29.460
Seeing this happen,

494
00:35:30.000 --> 00:35:31.380
there's a lot of bridges

495
00:35:31.920 --> 00:35:32.820
into DC.

496
00:35:33.485 --> 00:35:39.825
Yeah. It's they purposefully the founding fathers purposely picked DC because it was hard to invade. Exactly.

497
00:35:40.420 --> 00:35:47.880
As the capital. And also because the South bargained to have the capital in the South. But anyways, so the idea of one of these bridges

498
00:35:48.260 --> 00:35:49.160
in the beltway

499
00:35:50.065 --> 00:35:55.125
going down is crazy. A lot of people don't understand that when a boat loses power,

500
00:35:55.425 --> 00:36:06.849
there is 0 steering. Right. It does not you can't it's not like your car that if you're if you lose power, you can still kinda coast your way and turn and all that shit. You can't do that here. Yep. There's

501
00:36:07.455 --> 00:36:08.355
no power,

502
00:36:08.735 --> 00:36:24.180
no steer. Well, and whatever your last action was, it's almost like in space. Right? Your last action will kind of propel you that way, and there's no stopping it. Oh, yeah. Parking a boat is super weird. Mhmm. It's totally different than what you would think because you have to have either acceleration

503
00:36:24.480 --> 00:36:28.785
or forward or backwards to make that thing move. Right. That's that's it.

504
00:36:29.325 --> 00:36:30.065
It's wild.

505
00:36:30.525 --> 00:36:31.505
So the

506
00:36:31.884 --> 00:36:43.525
people were saying, well, why didn't he just steer it out of the way? And I'm like, well, if you lose power, you have no way to steer. You're done. Right. Dead in the water. And if you're moving forward, you're gonna keep moving forward. Mhmm. I don't know.

507
00:36:43.905 --> 00:36:46.805
Me either. Go watch it for yourself. Make your own opinion.

508
00:36:47.265 --> 00:36:48.165
Make it unfiltered.

509
00:36:51.920 --> 00:36:57.380
Well, here at the Unfiltered Union, we also decided over spring break to do something kind of crazy.

510
00:36:57.680 --> 00:37:01.435
What did we do? We decided to get annual passes

511
00:37:02.375 --> 00:37:04.555
Yes. To Busch Gardens,

512
00:37:05.175 --> 00:37:05.675
SeaWorld,

513
00:37:06.055 --> 00:37:08.234
Adventure Island. What else am I forgetting?

514
00:37:08.700 --> 00:37:09.200
Aquatica.

515
00:37:09.500 --> 00:37:10.000
Aquatica

516
00:37:10.700 --> 00:37:12.400
and discounts to Discovery Cove.

517
00:37:12.940 --> 00:37:19.825
Yes. It's like 11 parks that are included. Holy crap. Is it really? Yeah. I think so. But it's all over the country. Oh, no. We can go to any

518
00:37:20.525 --> 00:37:23.105
of those parks throughout the US.

519
00:37:23.484 --> 00:37:31.980
Okay. Fair. But the ones that are most local to us are gonna be Busch Gardens, SeaWorld, Adventure Island, and Discovery Cove, I think,

520
00:37:32.520 --> 00:37:35.980
of the 11. There's 4. Sure. Glad you agree. Okay.

521
00:37:36.520 --> 00:37:38.365
So we decided to get annual passes.

522
00:37:39.225 --> 00:37:43.725
We, were wondering what to do for spring break. We both took a week off with our kiddo,

523
00:37:44.369 --> 00:37:44.869
and

524
00:37:45.329 --> 00:37:56.765
what do we do? So we decided to just YOLO it and get annual passes. We went to Busch Gardens for our first experience. Now, I had been to Busch Gardens in Williamsburg, Virginia

525
00:37:57.224 --> 00:38:00.765
a long, long, long, long time ago. Honestly, I don't really remember it.

526
00:38:01.420 --> 00:38:05.280
But the experience at the Busch Gardens in Tampa, I think

527
00:38:05.660 --> 00:38:07.840
it was really clean. It was good.

528
00:38:08.460 --> 00:38:09.920
The kids area was great.

529
00:38:10.335 --> 00:38:11.635
Plenty of adult rides.

530
00:38:12.255 --> 00:38:13.635
Lots of great animals.

531
00:38:14.015 --> 00:38:18.515
Yes. They were it was a cool spot for sure. But the food was horrible?

532
00:38:19.640 --> 00:38:24.540
I mean, we didn't really try to go out of our way to get anything good though. Okay.

533
00:38:24.840 --> 00:38:27.485
We can give it the benefit of the doubt. They have that big restaurant.

534
00:38:33.725 --> 00:38:34.225
Serengeti

535
00:38:35.005 --> 00:38:35.585
and Nor

536
00:38:35.920 --> 00:38:38.820
Serengeti and Norils is 2 totally different. Very close,

537
00:38:39.760 --> 00:38:42.660
but it was, that we we didn't try the restaurants.

538
00:38:43.200 --> 00:38:45.220
Okay. Fair. We did try

539
00:38:45.745 --> 00:38:54.005
grab and go type food. So Carnival food. Yeah. And then So it's not gonna be good. K. And then parking was a little confusing too.

540
00:38:54.530 --> 00:38:59.750
Yeah. Well, that was our fault. No. I'm talking about to even get into the parking

541
00:39:00.290 --> 00:39:08.995
zone in general. Remember, we made that crazy left turn Well, that was us. Into the drop off area. But that's where GPS told us to go. Well, it was supposed to drop us off.

542
00:39:09.455 --> 00:39:14.590
That was okay. Once we figured it out, it's fine. So next time, it'll be perfectly fine. I agree.

543
00:39:14.890 --> 00:39:24.125
But overall, I think the experience was enjoyable. We did a lot of the gentle rides. Our kiddos not a big fan of rollercoaster. Oh, we did one roller coaster in the

544
00:39:24.505 --> 00:39:27.645
Sesame Street area. Greatest faces of all time.

545
00:39:28.640 --> 00:39:34.180
We do have some really good pictures of her reaction to that. But I will not show you because I don't know you.

546
00:39:35.520 --> 00:39:36.020
Okay.

547
00:39:37.865 --> 00:39:38.365
Creep.

548
00:39:39.305 --> 00:39:40.205
So also,

549
00:39:40.985 --> 00:39:51.520
again, we had the annual passes. It was spring break. We decided to go to Busch Gardens. Well, that Friday before spring break ended, we decided let's go to Adventure Island, the water park. The water park. Yes.

550
00:39:51.935 --> 00:39:52.835
That was a mistake.

551
00:39:53.935 --> 00:39:56.515
It was the Friday before spring break ended.

552
00:39:56.895 --> 00:39:59.635
Which to me means it's gonna be packed.

553
00:40:00.340 --> 00:40:04.280
The rides are gonna be running. Hopefully, everybody's split amongst all the rides.

554
00:40:04.900 --> 00:40:10.085
I agree. I thought it I I felt it in my soul that it was gonna be crazy. It was gonna

555
00:40:10.385 --> 00:40:16.565
be pretty packed. Yeah. I mean, we live in Florida, and people come here for things like spring break. We know this.

556
00:40:17.100 --> 00:40:18.560
But never in my wildest

557
00:40:18.860 --> 00:40:19.360
imagination

558
00:40:20.060 --> 00:40:22.320
did I think that there was going to be

559
00:40:22.620 --> 00:40:24.000
no food available

560
00:40:24.465 --> 00:40:31.525
other than churros and ices. In that spot that we went to that we waited 20 minutes to get food in line for.

561
00:40:31.840 --> 00:40:33.940
Churros and Icee. Churros and Icee's.

562
00:40:34.800 --> 00:40:36.180
As well as they had

563
00:40:36.480 --> 00:40:36.980
3

564
00:40:37.520 --> 00:40:42.975
rides open. Yep. 3. So you have a a it seemed like it was almost at capacity

565
00:40:43.675 --> 00:40:44.175
park.

566
00:40:44.635 --> 00:40:45.135
So

567
00:40:45.435 --> 00:40:50.015
all those people were only funneling to 3 rides. Yep. The lines were ridiculous.

568
00:40:50.650 --> 00:41:17.220
Then we proceed to go to use our we have the platinum pass comes with one quick queue a day. Yep. We're allowed to skip the line once a day, And we went to use it, and the lifeguard there was like, oh, we're doing quick queue today? We were like, fuck. I don't hang on. Yeah. I don't work here, though, but, yeah, you're doing it. It. And he let us on, but it was like we were getting death stared by all these people because he didn't scan anything for us.

569
00:41:17.615 --> 00:41:24.035
It just felt weird. Yeah. So and we did that one ride, and we We left. We weren't gonna wait again.

570
00:41:24.415 --> 00:41:25.875
Yeah. So we left.

571
00:41:26.230 --> 00:41:27.930
It was a waste of a trip.

572
00:41:28.390 --> 00:41:33.289
Luckily, it's not terribly far from where we live, but it was

573
00:41:34.305 --> 00:41:40.724
it was not worth it. It really wasn't. Oh, they That was bad. That was that they should've just closed. Mhmm.

574
00:41:41.105 --> 00:41:51.470
They should've. And we heard a bunch of security guards and other people who are working there talking about how many complaints they were getting. Yes. Guest services line was wrapped around the building for people

575
00:41:52.234 --> 00:41:54.095
either trying to get their money back or complaining,

576
00:41:54.555 --> 00:42:09.119
and people were getting pissed. I felt bad for the on the ground employees that worked there. Yeah. Because they were getting berated. Yep. 1 of the security people we overheard, I don't know why people are mad at me. We just work here. You know? I'm like, I'm not mad at you.

577
00:42:09.420 --> 00:42:17.835
Nope. Not mad at you. My whoever runs this place. I think I think it's a mistake to be open. Yep. But that's not on you. You're just working, and I understand.

578
00:42:18.220 --> 00:42:19.920
Yeah. And the wave pool was under

579
00:42:20.220 --> 00:42:22.240
reverberation or whatever. That's

580
00:42:24.059 --> 00:42:27.680
the wrong word. What is that's not servicing? I don't know.

581
00:42:28.205 --> 00:42:28.705
Refurbishment?

582
00:42:29.725 --> 00:42:30.385
That refurbish

583
00:42:32.325 --> 00:42:38.020
it is not even a word. I need a shirt with that word on. I'm gonna that's going on the merch

584
00:42:39.300 --> 00:42:39.960
shop. Refurbation.

585
00:42:40.500 --> 00:42:42.520
I gotta figure out how to spell that first.

586
00:42:43.540 --> 00:42:45.800
Holy shit. Be good. I'm terrified.

587
00:42:46.615 --> 00:43:02.300
So overall, 2, or out of the 2 parks so far, only Busch Gardens was good. Now I will Island wasn't fun. I will say, though, that we have friends that go to Adventure Island a lot and Have never had that experience. Never had that experience, so

588
00:43:02.680 --> 00:43:08.095
we just had bad luck that day, but still We'll try again. We will. We have annual passes.

589
00:43:09.515 --> 00:43:19.970
And then most recently for Good Friday, our kiddo had out of school again. So we decided to use our pass again and go to SeaWorld. We did go to SeaWorld, and that was another mistake.

590
00:43:21.205 --> 00:43:31.400
It really wasn't though. I feel like we put a lot of stress on that trip. And if we hadn't done that, then maybe it wouldn't have been so rough. But Yeah. We were determined,

591
00:43:32.579 --> 00:43:34.359
like, dotcom determined

592
00:43:35.779 --> 00:43:36.279
to

593
00:43:36.994 --> 00:43:37.734
touch dolphins.

594
00:43:38.035 --> 00:43:40.694
And the reason is because we are in Tampa.

595
00:43:40.994 --> 00:43:50.950
It's a long ass drive To Orlando. To Orlando to go to SeaWorld. So we we wanted to make sure that if we're going there, we're gonna do something that's almost kind of unforgettable. Right.

596
00:43:51.250 --> 00:43:52.950
And when we got there,

597
00:43:53.490 --> 00:43:55.030
we were like, holy shit.

598
00:43:55.365 --> 00:43:56.744
This place is packed,

599
00:43:57.365 --> 00:44:01.545
but they didn't allow us to book our animal encounter through the app.

600
00:44:01.924 --> 00:44:06.250
Well, they didn't allow us to book our one free Right. Animal encounter

601
00:44:06.550 --> 00:44:12.170
through the app. Right. So as a Platinum Pass member, you get one animal encounter a year included.

602
00:44:12.630 --> 00:44:14.490
And we were trying to do that. Well,

603
00:44:14.815 --> 00:44:19.955
we go to guest services, and guest services line is, like, 80 minutes long. Yep.

604
00:44:20.415 --> 00:44:20.915
Insane.

605
00:44:21.455 --> 00:44:22.915
Yep. So I'm panicking

606
00:44:23.215 --> 00:44:23.715
because

607
00:44:24.150 --> 00:44:26.570
I did not just drive from Tampa to Orlando

608
00:44:27.030 --> 00:44:28.650
to not touch a fucking pickle.

609
00:44:30.230 --> 00:44:30.730
Explain.

610
00:44:32.295 --> 00:44:36.075
Our kiddo described the touch and feel of a dolphin

611
00:44:36.535 --> 00:44:39.435
equivalent to a large pickle. Yes.

612
00:44:39.920 --> 00:44:43.380
Which is hilarious. Now I will never ever forget that. Uh-huh.

613
00:44:43.760 --> 00:44:56.465
But, yeah, we drove all that way. I wanted to touch a dolphin, and I wanted all of us to touch a dolphin. I got on the map, and we ran all the way. There's a guest services strictly for past members. We ran

614
00:44:57.040 --> 00:45:00.420
literally from the start of the park to the end of the park.

615
00:45:01.599 --> 00:45:02.420
We're dying.

616
00:45:02.880 --> 00:45:11.275
I had our kiddo on my back. Uh-huh. We were running because we wanted to get it. And I was looking at the app and you can see The queue. The queue

617
00:45:11.750 --> 00:45:12.250
for

618
00:45:13.030 --> 00:45:15.610
how many slots are left for these dolphin encounters,

619
00:45:16.150 --> 00:45:25.095
but you can't book it unless you pay for it. And they were slowly going away. And I'm like, if we don't go, we're not gonna get one of these encounters. Uh-huh.

620
00:45:25.715 --> 00:45:30.070
So we ran. We ran, and we got it. And we touched a large pickle.

621
00:45:30.370 --> 00:45:30.870
Her

622
00:45:31.410 --> 00:45:35.190
name was Hailey. That that that was awesome. It really was. It

623
00:45:35.525 --> 00:45:43.865
it was worth it for that. Oh, yeah. Everything that led up to that home park. But that was on us. That was not SeaWorld's fault. We chose we chose a day

624
00:45:44.325 --> 00:45:44.825
that

625
00:45:45.359 --> 00:45:47.940
everybody has off down here, and,

626
00:45:48.320 --> 00:45:56.305
of course, it's gonna be crowded. Yep. And plus You are determined. It's spring break for a lot of Other places. Other places that are traveling here for

627
00:45:56.685 --> 00:45:58.464
their spring break. So it was

628
00:45:58.925 --> 00:46:00.224
it was a good experience.

629
00:46:00.925 --> 00:46:16.435
It was just too crowded for me. But, I mean, like, overall, though, it is a very clean park. Yeah. No. I've got no qualms with what with that park. Yep. It was awesome. Yep. The kids area, again, had a Sesame Street area. We rode a carousel.

630
00:46:17.135 --> 00:46:28.330
Yes. That's, like, the only ride we really rode. We did most of the animal experiences, which they have a nice looking aquarium. They have this shark experience, which was really cool. Go on this conveyor belt, like,

631
00:46:28.995 --> 00:46:30.935
where the did the sharks We were sushi.

632
00:46:34.515 --> 00:46:40.970
I saw it on your face as soon as you For you work for the sharks. That's Oh my gosh.

633
00:46:41.450 --> 00:46:49.285
Funny. But, yeah, it's a conveyor belt that you go through this tank that you feels like you're inside of it, and you got sharks swimming all around. It was awesome.

634
00:46:49.585 --> 00:46:51.365
Yeah. It was a really good experience.

635
00:46:51.744 --> 00:46:54.714
And, again, we focused on the animals rather than the rides, but,

636
00:46:55.470 --> 00:47:10.435
that's what our kiddo wanted, and that's what we did. Yep. The only thing we didn't do was food. Again, we did kind of the carnival food option. Yeah. But what they had available seemed better Yes. Than Adventure Island and Busch Gardens. Yeah. What was that

637
00:47:11.120 --> 00:47:16.020
bar and grill? No. It wasn't bar and grill. It was their their fancy restaurant was actually inside

638
00:47:16.400 --> 00:47:17.060
of that

639
00:47:17.360 --> 00:47:23.135
shark exhibit. Yeah. So you would Shark Cove? Yeah. Shark Cove or something like that. Shark Cove. But you would sit

640
00:47:23.755 --> 00:47:25.455
in that shark tank.

641
00:47:26.180 --> 00:47:41.635
It was cool shit. Well, you would sit in a restaurant that had a shark tank view. Yeah. But it was like it looked like you were in it because it like, the whole wall, think floor to ceiling with Shark Tank. Yep. They're swimming right next to people that are eating, and I'm like, that's kind of unsettling, but I'll do it.

642
00:47:43.039 --> 00:47:44.400
But I do think our,

643
00:47:44.880 --> 00:47:48.099
our next stop is gonna be Discovery Cove.

644
00:47:48.400 --> 00:47:53.404
I really do think we need to do that. Yeah. It's a must. It's a day resort,

645
00:47:53.944 --> 00:47:55.484
and it's all artificial,

646
00:47:56.105 --> 00:47:58.204
but they have an artificial reef

647
00:47:58.585 --> 00:48:06.000
you can actually swim through, and there's fish in there. So you're swimming amongst all these nice looking tropical fish. You can swim with dolphins,

648
00:48:06.780 --> 00:48:09.680
and then if you pay extra, you can swim with sharks.

649
00:48:10.035 --> 00:48:12.215
Never in a 1000000 years, but yes to the dolphins.

650
00:48:12.675 --> 00:48:14.375
I think the dolphins are actually

651
00:48:14.995 --> 00:48:15.495
included.

652
00:48:15.875 --> 00:48:18.615
I think you can upgrade your experience though and do, like,

653
00:48:19.340 --> 00:48:29.865
different dolphin experiences. Like, they'll they'll tow you. I want to swim with a dolphin. Yes. Too. I wanna touch another pickle. I do too. I would love to swim with a pickle. Would never in a 1000000 years willingly

654
00:48:30.405 --> 00:48:31.244
Swim with sharks?

655
00:48:31.684 --> 00:48:32.345
Jump into

656
00:48:32.645 --> 00:48:34.825
a swim area with sharks.

657
00:48:35.869 --> 00:48:44.975
If they're there I get into the ocean. Yes. I do swim in the ocean. I know that they're out there somewhere, but to willingly say I want to swim with a shark. No.

658
00:48:46.015 --> 00:48:53.315
I I get what you're saying. No. You don't. Yeah. I do. Because if you walked up to the beach and you saw a shark fin swimming around, you're not getting in.

659
00:48:53.680 --> 00:48:57.140
Fuck no. Exactly. Because because you know it's there. Right.

660
00:48:57.840 --> 00:49:05.485
But if you walk up to the beach and there's no shark fin, then you're fine. Yes. Because Thanks for mansplaining what I was just Oh, Jesus.

661
00:49:06.985 --> 00:49:08.685
That's another shirt we need to make.

662
00:49:09.145 --> 00:49:10.505
What was it? What refer

663
00:49:10.990 --> 00:49:12.049
I can't remember. Refurbaration?

664
00:49:12.430 --> 00:49:12.930
Refurburation.

665
00:49:13.230 --> 00:49:15.490
Yep. Write it down. I'm going to now.

666
00:49:16.270 --> 00:49:19.730
I think the last two things that I wanted to hit on here

667
00:49:20.285 --> 00:49:23.345
is This is an hour show. No, it's not.

668
00:49:25.645 --> 00:49:26.705
No, it's not.

669
00:49:28.480 --> 00:49:31.780
So have you heard of this term called sleep divorce?

670
00:49:32.480 --> 00:49:32.980
Yes.

671
00:49:33.520 --> 00:49:44.775
What does it mean? You just sleep in separate rooms. Yeah. So this article said, if you're tired of being tired, you might consider what more couples are finding themselves doing. More couples? More couples

672
00:49:45.390 --> 00:49:46.849
sleeping in separate bedrooms.

673
00:49:47.789 --> 00:49:48.289
And

674
00:49:48.829 --> 00:49:50.930
while that may sound, you know,

675
00:49:51.470 --> 00:49:52.289
really good,

676
00:49:52.995 --> 00:49:55.815
like, if you're not in bed next to me,

677
00:49:56.115 --> 00:49:56.775
I know.

678
00:49:57.235 --> 00:50:01.415
Where are you? And then my mind starts going. Right? Yeah. But maybe that's the problem.

679
00:50:01.780 --> 00:50:08.200
So what? I should just not expect you to come to bed? I don't know. That'd be weird. We have an alarm system. You'll know if I leave.

680
00:50:08.500 --> 00:50:10.760
Well, I don't I don't really care.

681
00:50:12.215 --> 00:50:13.435
You do. That's a lie.

682
00:50:13.895 --> 00:50:21.035
So well, I mean, it's a comfort. Right? It's the security that you are there. Right? But then you bitch about me snoring.

683
00:50:21.680 --> 00:50:22.180
True.

684
00:50:22.720 --> 00:50:34.205
Well, I think the point is Then you bitch about me snoring. What's your point? It's it's more or it's less about you snoring and more about you talking. I don't know who the fuck you're talking to. Uh-uh. I have a lot to process in my sleep. Thank you.

685
00:50:35.785 --> 00:50:40.125
And then to add another layer in a separate bed in our bedroom.

686
00:50:43.529 --> 00:50:45.309
Bedroom. We have 76

687
00:50:45.609 --> 00:50:50.750
beds in our bedroom. We really do. No. We have 2. In one bed, it's us.

688
00:50:51.565 --> 00:50:55.744
And then in another bed, but still in our bedroom, is our daughter and dog.

689
00:50:56.045 --> 00:50:58.625
Yeah. And the dog will scratch his neck

690
00:50:59.110 --> 00:51:02.330
in the middle of the night and then, like, do the little

691
00:51:03.190 --> 00:51:03.850
on his

692
00:51:04.310 --> 00:51:06.730
arms. Do they have arms? Legs?

693
00:51:08.184 --> 00:51:10.684
Our kiddo talks too. I guess it's a hereditary

694
00:51:10.984 --> 00:51:16.924
thing. Oh, my God. I'm surprised you 2 haven't conversated before while you were sleeping. Conversated? That's a word.

695
00:51:17.610 --> 00:51:20.270
But I just thought about the sleep divorce, like,

696
00:51:20.570 --> 00:51:23.790
the idea of you not sleeping in the bed is one thing.

697
00:51:24.330 --> 00:51:30.925
But the idea of our kiddo not being in the other bed Actually sleeping in her her own room. That's crazy.

698
00:51:31.225 --> 00:51:35.484
I know. Is that a divorce or is that a divorce? No. That's a sleep adoption.

699
00:51:36.900 --> 00:51:38.200
De adoption. Emancipation.

700
00:51:40.339 --> 00:51:41.560
Oh my god.

701
00:51:42.099 --> 00:51:44.599
It's about time to wrap this up. Okay. So

702
00:51:45.465 --> 00:51:50.605
last quote here of the day. You ready? No. Kid Rock. He's so inspirational.

703
00:51:53.670 --> 00:51:54.730
He's so funny.

704
00:51:55.030 --> 00:51:57.450
He literally tweeted the other day,

705
00:51:57.750 --> 00:52:02.285
I'm now driving the field trip bus after banging 4 hookers last night.

706
00:52:04.825 --> 00:52:05.805
Dad of the year.

707
00:52:06.185 --> 00:52:10.750
I I I could hear it. I I definitely believe that he would say something like that for sure.

708
00:52:12.170 --> 00:52:13.550
Love you. Bye.
