Episode Transcript
[00:00:07] Speaker A: This is Media Labs.
Hello, everyone. Welcome back. It is a good.
What's today?
Monday.
Nobody asked you to chime in yet, bro.
[00:00:57] Speaker B: You couldn't remember what day it was.
[00:00:58] Speaker A: Well, you know what? I.
I have an opinion, and you haven't been here.
[00:01:05] Speaker B: I've been busy.
[00:01:06] Speaker A: I know you have. You've been.
You've been loaded lately.
[00:01:10] Speaker B: Yeah, I had a new grandbaby, born last week. A little early, but doing great.
[00:01:15] Speaker A: And I also had let everybody know that you had a new addition coming. Yeah, I said either coming or here. So that's why you were kind of checked out for a while.
[00:01:24] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:01:24] Speaker A: Because I said we weren't going to have any more episodes last week because of that. But then.
Well, that was kind of a fib when I said no more episodes last week.
[00:01:33] Speaker B: I think you just get on a soapbox and you're like, you know what? Well, you know, I'm just gonna say what I gotta say and have nobody interrupt me.
[00:01:40] Speaker A: I don't know, because, I mean, I don't. I know I don't have that luxury with you. You're constantly interrupting me. I'm trying to tell a story. Story.
[00:01:48] Speaker B: You tell a story like an old Southern grandma. It takes you 45 days, but you.
[00:01:52] Speaker A: Have to picture the whole scene. The whole scenario has to be set, bro.
So I don't have that much time. Did you. So did you get a chance to. Hey, you better calm down. Did you hear the one I did about health and wellness?
[00:02:06] Speaker B: I heard part of it, yeah.
[00:02:08] Speaker A: You didn't get to all of it?
[00:02:09] Speaker B: No, because I was on my way to work, and then I got interrupted by a phone call.
[00:02:12] Speaker A: So everything popped off after that. Like, everything started popping off for you.
[00:02:16] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:02:17] Speaker A: So I did health and wellness because I had had some sensitivity. We. We'll use that word. So I opened up and I talked about. I had just went to therapy that day, and I had sat down with my therapist, and we got into this really, really great conversation, as usual.
And, you know, we hit on a few things. I'd hit on, like.
We got into, like.
Not gender, but we got into stereotypes. Right. So the stereotype was, okay, she played volleyball, you know, super, you know, rigorous sport for women. Super. You know, not combative, but it's gritty. Right? It's gritty. And so we were talking about it, and so I was like, so how many people thought you were a lesbian? She's like, you'd be surprised. I said, see what I'm saying?
We were talking about stereotypes because I told her the story of what happened, which we will discuss, even though I've already covered it. And so.
Yeah. Huh. Yeah. That story. This.
[00:03:15] Speaker B: I. I mean, okay, we're gonna stop calling names if you're.
[00:03:20] Speaker A: I didn't put a name to it.
[00:03:21] Speaker B: I know, but if you're calling me a out of Terms of Endearment, I'm cool with that. But we're not gonna say it out of hate.
[00:03:28] Speaker A: That did not cut. It came from a place of love because we were talking about stereotypes and I had told her that spirit specific story, which was obnoxious, you know, and so I said, like, when does it stop? You know, the. The stereotyping. And so I made this example. So I went up, I got up, I turned on the light switch, I said, look, I'm an electrician.
And I went over to just her shoe and I said, now I'm a shoe expert. And then I move my chair. Oh, I'm a furniture mover. So when. When does it stop where people can just attach something to themselves because they read a book or they got a friend over here that clearly needs medicine and now they're an expert in, you know, in that juncture.
[00:04:14] Speaker B: I just.
[00:04:14] Speaker A: Do you see what I'm saying?
[00:04:15] Speaker B: Yeah, I just, like. I didn't get to, like, like, you.
[00:04:19] Speaker A: People might actually think you're a lesbian because you're super freaking mean. I mean, she's not down with the snatch. I'm just. I just want to highlight that, but I'm just saying she's mean like that.
[00:04:30] Speaker B: I can only go to tier one or tier two, whatever that is.
[00:04:35] Speaker A: I can't even spell the tier, so knock it off.
No, bro.
[00:04:40] Speaker B: Oh, you haven't watched Love on the Spectrum. You need to. It is the best.
[00:04:43] Speaker A: Oh, you keep telling me about that.
[00:04:44] Speaker B: Listen, best wholesome show on the face of the planet. It'll make your whole life.
[00:04:48] Speaker A: Didn't you tell me it was like, gay centric? Right? That what it is.
[00:04:51] Speaker B: No, they're on the Spectrum.
[00:04:53] Speaker A: Oh, that show. Okay, wrong show. I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
[00:04:56] Speaker B: They're literally the sweetest little souls.
[00:04:59] Speaker A: So it's people on mental spectrum. Yeah, I got it wrong. My bad. There was another show she told me about.
Discuss that later.
[00:05:06] Speaker B: But anyways.
Yeah, so I. I didn't get to listen to all of that one. And I did listen to Hate Lives on my way to work today because I was not able to do it over the weekend because I spent Mother's Day weekend running around taking care of everyone else on Mother's day. Which is fine. My.
Well, I had to make sure that my daughter in law, my son were fed and because I want, you know, them strong and healthy and happy. And then my.
I'm gonna have a new great nephew, niece, whatever, I don't know yet in next week. And so I had to make sure to drop their baby stuff off. So I had a lot of like do over the weekend just. Just running around. So I've been busy. But I did.
[00:06:01] Speaker A: But we did talk Saturday night just to.
[00:06:03] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:06:03] Speaker A: For briefly. We did.
[00:06:04] Speaker B: Yeah. It's. It's just wild to me. I mean it's not wild to me because I've seen.
Well how we're just.
We just cannot have. Nobody can have a civil freaking conversation. You would think that people can just have. And that can't happen and not where I was.
[00:06:24] Speaker A: It couldn't. They made it clear.
[00:06:26] Speaker B: Well, you know, the thing is I.
I have protected my peace for so long.
[00:06:33] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:06:34] Speaker B: And I don't go. I don't like large crowds. I could. I mean I love, you know, live music and comedy shows and things like that, but I want to be in and out. I don't want to sit there and I.
So I.
And I don't like going to a bunch of parties and to the bar and all that stuff. It's just not my scene anymore.
I'm older than that. I want to be in bed by 10 o' clock period.
[00:07:00] Speaker A: Well, she says 10 o' clock, but we're still on the phone at midnight. I'm just. I'm in the bed, but you're in the bed. I know that's. I had to throw it in. That's the stipulation. So I did that title because I experienced some hate. I. Well, first of all, I knew it would get. Not that I. Because I know you listen to all of them, right. And then you. You call me and. Not really a critique, but you give kind of this, you know, when you're not available and I'm doing them. You give me kind of this.
[00:07:27] Speaker B: Hold your hand.
Listen, I'm in a mood.
[00:07:35] Speaker A: She's having a seizure, everyone. So hold on.
[00:07:37] Speaker B: Oh, you don't see. Like that when you laugh.
I weed like that when I laugh. I can't help it. I get it all tickled.
[00:07:44] Speaker A: No, I was talking about you holding my hand. I can't get her to be nice to me to save my life.
[00:07:47] Speaker B: Oh for God.
[00:07:48] Speaker A: So I had to do the hate lives part because. Let me tell you what.
Let me. So the. The first thing we Want to start with about. We were talking about hypocrisy and stereotypes, Right. So the first thing, which was a funny story, I. Because it's usually the only time I can get away with it now that she's got me on the Tick Tock on my phone and I don't control the social media, and I've said this before, she does, but one time she wanted me to download it to listen to this deal, and I did, and then I ended up getting in it. But this was something different.
Alice is at work and I chronicles am home with my phone and a new app called Tick Tock.
[00:08:30] Speaker B: And she shouldn't be on it.
[00:08:31] Speaker A: I was just thinking.
I just. I just. No, I was trying to figure out. So I could sound like you when I'm talking, like I know what I'm talking about and I don't.
[00:08:41] Speaker B: But for. For context, you know, there's a lot of hate in this world. Some of it lives silent, some of it is very loud, hides behind a screen. And a lot of it is behind a screen because we don't fight in the front yard because we're gonna get arrested.
[00:08:58] Speaker A: Well, we. You and I do.
[00:08:59] Speaker B: I mean, we did when we were younger, for sure. I mean, I don't have time for that. If you come to my house. I mean, sure.
But I think that it's important to understand that, you know, for people that are so tolerant, they're really not.
They're really more judgmental and more. There's more hate in there. And if they hate you, who else do they hate? You know what I mean?
[00:09:24] Speaker A: And why they smile in your face. Oh, in public. In public, I mean.
[00:09:28] Speaker B: And. And you just.
I don't. I just don't see. See why it's got to be like that. You know, I mean, I understand. I get it. Because the world is full of hate.
I just.
[00:09:44] Speaker A: But I can think of. What you're saying is if you hate like that, right, like we talked about what happened, Own it then. Yeah, straight up, own it.
[00:09:51] Speaker B: But I mean, it. There was nothing. It was. I. I don't know if it's like kind of rage bait stuff, but we're done. We're over it. I'm not doing it no more. Yeah, you're not doing. We're not going to be. It's. It's tr. It's just gonna be for good time Sally stuff. We're not doing that anymore.
[00:10:09] Speaker A: But so what I want to say is. And. And as I had said, which you guys already know in the episode, we Talked about where I got kicked out of the forum, you know, because he said I was actually, you know, a CIS woman and the gay boy, you know, had me thrown out and it was just so ironic. And so I. I had text it the situation to Alice and she's like, are you.
Are you kidding me? They kicked you out because the gay dude said you are a CIS woman?
[00:10:36] Speaker B: I said, well, isn't that the highest compliment? I mean, it is, yeah, to a. To a degree, but it was the.
[00:10:42] Speaker A: Hypocrisy of a gay dude is telling me I'm so.
Because. And it's just like you have utter ignorance about what a real trans woman sounds like. Can sound like. I should say. Let me highlight that part. Or is.
You know, and so. Because I was doing the pushback on what she was saying because it literally just made no sense.
It just made no sense.
[00:11:06] Speaker B: Well, your level of respect for females, for women.
[00:11:09] Speaker A: But she was a woman. That's what. But I didn't understand it. What are you saying right now?
[00:11:14] Speaker B: Not everybody has common sense, honey.
[00:11:16] Speaker A: I know. I think she. I think she needs medicine. That kind that, you know, you sell.
I'm just saying, I think that it's.
[00:11:25] Speaker B: Just important for us to stay here behind this mic with our people and, and have conversations about the things that are important in today's society and try to make a difference. Even if it's just one person a month, one person every six months, it's. It's still that one person that we're making a difference to that can change someone else's mind when they have that conversation.
[00:11:53] Speaker A: Well, according to the numbers, we're actually making a difference with a lot of people. Yeah, a lot of difference.
[00:11:58] Speaker B: Yeah. And we got our first.
[00:12:00] Speaker A: Yes, we did. Say it. Say it. We got our. We got our first.
Both of us are stuck.
[00:12:06] Speaker B: What the.
[00:12:07] Speaker A: Man? We're both freaking stuck.
[00:12:10] Speaker B: I've worked all day. I normally turn my brain off at.
[00:12:13] Speaker A: 5 o' clock, and my head has been on. Okay, focus. These are the, you know, these are the things we're. We're talking about doing tonight. We got.
We.
What is happening? Okay, I don't even. I don't even know my life right now, okay? I just. I. This stupid girl is sitting across from me and I just completely lose my mind. I don't know. I don't know what I'm saying anymore. Son of a bitch.
This woman. Damn it.
We want.
Turn your speakers down, please. This is about to get really loud.
So we want.
God, I can't say something. I Can't.
We want to say. We.
We want to say thank you to all of our members and one in particular.
She officially became our first Patreon show member.
And it was truly. It was just such an exhilarating moment to see that name come through.
I just felt like, yeah, we had to get into, you know, a lot of topics today, you know, and, you know, we want to thank all of our members that come aboard, don't we?
[00:13:40] Speaker B: Absolutely.
[00:13:41] Speaker A: And we appreciate you immensely.
We're seeing the numbers. Alice and I are extremely proud, and.
Oh, speaking of which, now that we're done with our. Our laughing session. Oh, my God, I just lost control of myself.
I thought I was gonna have a bowel movement.
So on a serious. I'm serious. I just like to be honest with everyone.
So on a serious note, I felt like we should tell everyone what's going. What's really going on with our North Carolina story.
[00:14:16] Speaker B: Yeah, well, there's not a whole lot that we can say, but not a little bit.
[00:14:22] Speaker A: But we can do some, which is what we want to do.
[00:14:25] Speaker B: Yeah, you're gonna travel back down there. I cannot go again, because life.
[00:14:31] Speaker A: She's still got a chain around her neck, so they don't let her go far.
[00:14:34] Speaker B: Yeah. My. Yeah. I mean, I gotta make a living, man, until I. We get.
[00:14:39] Speaker A: Until all the members come become members.
[00:14:42] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:14:42] Speaker A: Follow Ms. Honey. We're working. We're working on it. We're working on it. You know, we're. We appreciate the sponsorship that we have gotten, and, of course, we appreciate all of you.
I do want to say before we do get into that part really quick, because we said we wanted to make sure we did not forget. So I don't want to forget. If you have an Apple Phone, what you do is go to the podcast website, which you can do. Just click on the podcast website, scroll all the way down to the bottom, and then the Patreon link is at the bottom. You go over, and it's seven days free, and that's only five bucks a month. I have a goal that I've put out there. We're trying to get 50 as our, you know, first goal and then just really lead off of that.
We are doing the episode tonight for Patreon, so now is a good time to become a member, because if anybody out there is familiar with something called Bob and Tom show, they were radio jockeys back in the day. They were funny as shit. And so we are doing that kind of content and character, you know, and just.
Well, we just don't Care on the Patreon show. You know, we're going all in on the Diddler, so we really wanted to share that stuff with you guys. And apparently this evening, ladies and gentlemen, if you happen to, you know, if you're a gentleman, you like penis, that's okay. We appreciate that here.
Apparently Alice went down a thirst trap today and she found.
[00:16:13] Speaker B: I've been going down, but you can't find out what thirst trap is unless you become a member.
Oh, you're good.
[00:16:20] Speaker A: I should pay you.
[00:16:22] Speaker B: You should, but I'm doing this shit for free.
[00:16:24] Speaker A: Oh, by the way, that's no true story. That's why she does do that. Because she's like, no. You know, it's funny thing she says that. She's like, no, because everything just needs to go. Just stay inside of the podcast, you know, and let us build it, you know?
[00:16:38] Speaker B: You know, you said to me that one day and I was like, well, my bay is.
Because I don't get no monies. I get no monies. And she's always on me do this. I'm like, I am.
My life is.
[00:16:51] Speaker A: Yeah, it's chaos. It's.
[00:16:53] Speaker B: I hope it gets better. But on, on like other topics, if there's something that you want to have done on the Patreon that's a little bit more free, less serious, we're gonna just say some out of pocket things, which is.
[00:17:13] Speaker A: Out of pocket things.
[00:17:14] Speaker B: Yeah, I mean, yeah.
[00:17:16] Speaker A: Okay.
And then some out of pocket thing.
Okay. But if you have topics that you want us to discuss here, you know, on the media lab show with Chronicles of a Nation and you know, jerk wad across from me, then put it on our Twitter or you can email us. You can go to the website and look for the email and it's dare to be bold.net and then you can find the website there.
Website.
I'm just having a really bad day today.
You could find the email or you can just go straight to our tick tock now that you know, I'll see it too. I won't act on it because I'm scared I'll push the wrong button again like I did before, which sent me into a entire bottle of Moscato.
[00:18:07] Speaker B: But anyway, yeah, that happens.
[00:18:11] Speaker A: I wasn't ready. You know, like I told you straight up, I'll tell you I wasn't ready.
[00:18:14] Speaker B: I just want it. I. I kind of.
[00:18:16] Speaker A: We're going to continue to get into forums. I don't want to say that we're not, but we're just like I said in last Episode. I'm just going to be more. It's interesting tactical about it. People has to say, yeah, and we're going to stay out of it until there's a.
There's more of a, you know, dynamic in. In. In the people that are in it so that I don't have to fend for myself, which. Well, you know, what was fine for me? I mean, if I really went all in, like I wanted to, those people would be, I'm sure, like floating down a river somewhere by now, you know, from.
You know, accidents happen.
[00:18:53] Speaker B: Okay, back to North Carolina.
[00:18:54] Speaker A: Okay, back to North Carolina. See, I'm trying to tell y' all things, but she won't let me. You see what happens here.
[00:19:00] Speaker B: Don't let it. Don't get it twisted.
[00:19:02] Speaker A: It.
So.
[00:19:04] Speaker B: So your next adventure is. Is down to North Carolina, but the.
[00:19:08] Speaker A: I leave on the 30th.
[00:19:09] Speaker B: Yeah. The crazy thing is, is this story started out as one thing, just us wanting to help.
[00:19:18] Speaker A: Tell them how many bags I took.
[00:19:20] Speaker B: Like a hundred, one hundred ten.
[00:19:22] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:19:23] Speaker B: And with the people that we've spoke to down there, we've realized that a lot of great things have came from disaster, and people have come to, well, just disaster. Because the disaster came and then the people came.
[00:19:42] Speaker A: Right.
[00:19:42] Speaker B: And they helped, and they were beautiful, and everybody was so.
[00:19:47] Speaker A: It's my favorite word. It was organic, because it was nothing. Just American heart.
[00:19:51] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:19:51] Speaker A: And love. Yeah.
[00:19:53] Speaker B: And then we came across a little bit of chaos and a little bit of.
[00:19:59] Speaker A: And a little bit more chaos and.
[00:20:00] Speaker B: And just some things that don't real. Sit well with us. And we. It's now kind of more a legality issue on some levels, so we have to kind of keep our mouth shut for just a little while until we can figure out exactly what we're gonna do. We ha. We do have some amazing connections when.
[00:20:27] Speaker A: We can say it.
[00:20:28] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:20:28] Speaker A: Yes.
[00:20:29] Speaker B: So we're. We're just kind of keeping this.
[00:20:34] Speaker A: And, you know, we're just gonna leave it there. But we don't want you. We don't want you to think. Because I did the one story on it and created, you know, the title, and that is the title.
I just want everyone to stick with us because more is coming.
We just can't talk about it until basically after I get back and we know the parameters and what we can say.
That sound about right, Alice?
[00:20:59] Speaker B: Absolutely. Yeah.
I. I did.
[00:21:02] Speaker A: I didn't want to leave them hanging. I just wanted people to know, you know, we haven't, you know, we didn't veer off from Telling, you know, that story.
[00:21:08] Speaker B: That's all I did, though, want to say something about, you know, that, that there will be, there's, I guess the last story was there is some aid going there. There is some money going there. They're, they're sending money, you know, $700 million in aid will be sent, you know, sent there. I was trying to get more documents, but of course I, I, My phone runs like a.
Yeah, I know, but there's, there's some money and I just hope that it goes in the appropriate places and I hope that our, the people that are in charge, you know, that the elected officials do what they're supposed to do. Because sometimes my faith in local, city, federal and state government officials, everybody relates with that really makes me question. And it's like, damn, are we just like watching, like, one of those shows? Like, what was that one show? Was it Scandal that was about the White House and.
[00:22:26] Speaker A: No, that was, that was House of Cards. House of Cards.
[00:22:29] Speaker B: No, you didn't watch the same show I did. It wasn't. But House of Cards, I didn't watch that show.
[00:22:34] Speaker A: Oh, okay.
[00:22:35] Speaker B: But you know what I mean.
[00:22:36] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:22:36] Speaker B: In that context.
And that's why I think we have so many conspiracy theories in the world.
[00:22:41] Speaker A: Because unfortunately, lately they're coming true.
[00:22:45] Speaker B: I. Yeah, I mean, I mean, bro.
[00:22:47] Speaker A: Are you kidding me?
[00:22:47] Speaker B: Sometimes I just don't know what to believe. I'm like, okay, I'll believe it when I see it type thing, but I have trust issues, so I'll leave it at that. But, you know, you, you really just.
[00:22:58] Speaker A: Well, here's something, you know, I mean, this is not a political policy, you know, episode tonight, but I will say this new temporary deal for 90 days that Trump just pulled, they just got done in.
[00:23:12] Speaker B: Oh, yeah, yeah.
[00:23:14] Speaker A: So let's, I mean, you know, I mean, I know the thing is, is I.
[00:23:20] Speaker B: There's just so much hypocrisy, too, because.
[00:23:22] Speaker A: The minute they say he's losing and this isn't going to work, look what happens.
[00:23:26] Speaker B: Well, the thing is, is it gets done. He's not the first president to raise tariffs. He's not. And he's not going to be the last. It's going to happen over and over again.
[00:23:35] Speaker A: He, as long as everybody else plays fair, he just, we won't need to.
[00:23:38] Speaker B: Well, he just went to an extreme kind of show a point.
[00:23:41] Speaker A: No, he's.
[00:23:42] Speaker B: I look at Trump as a bully and I know he's a bully. I know what I see. But he is, but he's out there.
[00:23:49] Speaker A: Doing it's the art of the deal. You got to be a bully to get the deal done.
[00:23:52] Speaker B: Well, you don't see any weakness, business people?
[00:23:54] Speaker A: No, you don't.
[00:23:55] Speaker B: You just don't.
[00:23:56] Speaker A: And I've known my chair fair. And I mean, did I say that right just now?
[00:23:59] Speaker B: Fair share. But I said the opposite did.
[00:24:02] Speaker A: I'm telling you, something's wrong with my mouth.
[00:24:05] Speaker B: I do, however, don't say a word. I'm just saying that he allocated all those funds to house homeless veterans.
[00:24:14] Speaker A: I mean, how did you see? I was like, oh, my. Why was this not done decades ago?
[00:24:18] Speaker B: Oh, I don't know.
[00:24:20] Speaker A: Oh. And then the last Israeli sold hostage is being set free. And, you know, that means a lot to me.
[00:24:28] Speaker B: Yeah. Yeah. I mean, I just like the supposed.
[00:24:32] Speaker A: To happen by when Wednesday.
[00:24:34] Speaker B: And we got a Pope from America. I think that's pretty cool.
[00:24:37] Speaker A: Oh, the kids were in the, like in the universities, like, you know, in the dorms. Like, I saw a clip of one where I think it was just like a short. But they're like, listen to how the kids, you know, or how America feels about it. And you know, they're so in there, you know, Chan, you know, usa, us because it's never happened in the history of, of popes.
[00:24:54] Speaker B: Well, and he's, he's, he seems like a great guy. I mean, they had to have, you know, whatever. And I think that Pope Francis was the one that appointed him, which is great.
[00:25:06] Speaker A: He opposed him to. Appointed him to cardinal.
[00:25:08] Speaker B: Right.
[00:25:09] Speaker A: To control priests and so forth, you know, and fathers, you know, amongst which is great.
[00:25:14] Speaker B: I mean, but I do.
[00:25:15] Speaker A: He just gives me very good vibes. I haven't supported a Catholic pope in a while because I'll be honest, as a Jew, you know, we have our issues with how they handled the Second World War and their interaction with Hitler. So I still have my reservations.
[00:25:34] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:25:34] Speaker A: But this is a pope because those, those pains run deep.
[00:25:40] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:25:40] Speaker A: And it's just hard even for me to get through. And so I haven't supported one, but this one, maybe this one. He just gives me good vibes. He seems healthy and robust. I mean, for being older, but he just really seems healthy and robust and anxious to just get in there and.
[00:25:58] Speaker B: Do some good for this world.
[00:25:59] Speaker A: Right, right. You know, which is, you know, why we allow you to have a city, you know, and the president's going to give you tax exempt status, which will give you another billion dollars a year. So. So thank you for coming around.
You know, I was talking today to the girl that does My eyelashes.
And we were talking about some of these things in all these places, Europe and so forth, Eastern Europe, just saying how they love to say. And the Chinese are putting out, you know, their propaganda over there. We will not bow down to the United States.
Yeah, you will. Have you met us? Yeah, you will.
[00:26:38] Speaker B: I mean, have you seen. So they're. They're talking about.
Speaking of that, a hundred American people versus 100American women versus, like 100American Eastern or European people. And I'm like, are we gonna fight? And somebody said we need to put the people that live in the Midwest that wear the, like Cookie monster pajamas. And I lost my.
I was like, that is freaking hilarious. Because those girls don't give a. Because if they're gonna go in. In public and they're cooking, they don't give a damn.
[00:27:10] Speaker A: I see them in Walmart. Go ahead and try to fight one of them.
[00:27:12] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:27:13] Speaker A: Even I have to step back for a minute and think about it, because them chicks are ready. They are my spirit animals. I'm. I'm telling you, I would never go in the store like that. But I'm telling you.
[00:27:21] Speaker B: Yeah, I don't. I don't go in the store and let. That's the only good thing. One of the good things.
[00:27:26] Speaker A: Like it.
[00:27:27] Speaker B: Well, I'm. I'm just. I'm getting out of my car and walking into your house.
[00:27:30] Speaker A: I just. I mean, I just had to throw that out there, you know, just. I had to throw that out there.
[00:27:34] Speaker B: Just saying the only good thing. One of the good things. There was only a few good things that came out of COVID but one good thing that came out of COVID was grocery store pickup, because I do not go into the grocery store anymore. It is.
[00:27:45] Speaker A: I just can't seem to get into it, bro. I just can't. I don't know. Maybe it's because I feel like I'm being lazy.
[00:27:51] Speaker B: You're not being lazy.
[00:27:52] Speaker A: Really? No, I just. I mean.
[00:27:54] Speaker B: And it's especially. I don't.
[00:27:56] Speaker A: Other people touching my stuff.
[00:27:57] Speaker B: Well, it's.
[00:27:58] Speaker A: I don't know where your hands. Did you wash your hands before you touched it? Did you put gloves on? Like, how did it happen? Do you put it in there? You know, in the order that I like it. You know where cabinet stuff goes in bags and goes in time out.
[00:28:11] Speaker B: If you are going to be that lazy like I am and not shop for your own groceries.
[00:28:16] Speaker A: You just said I wasn't lazy. If I do it.
[00:28:18] Speaker B: I said if I am lazy, I am lazy.
[00:28:21] Speaker A: Okay?
[00:28:22] Speaker B: You can't about what happens, okay? You got to take and give a little bit, okay?
[00:28:27] Speaker A: It's. Well, that's kind of like you people that fly on government funded commercial airlines. I keep telling you to stop. Stop it.
[00:28:33] Speaker B: I'm not rich.
I got that money. I'm like, I want those 50 flights. I'm sorry.
[00:28:43] Speaker A: And you get 50 attitude and 50 stewardesses.
[00:28:46] Speaker B: I don't care. I'm only on there for a few hours.
[00:28:49] Speaker A: I'm telling you, they. They drove through a neighborhood, picked him up off a corner and gave him a skirt.
I'm telling you.
[00:28:55] Speaker B: No, they had to go through more training than that.
[00:28:57] Speaker A: The faa, I think they forgot that training.
[00:29:00] Speaker B: Well, it's not, you know.
[00:29:01] Speaker A: Did they do a background check on them?
[00:29:03] Speaker B: Listen, people talk mad about Spirit. But let me tell you something.
[00:29:07] Speaker A: Oh, God.
[00:29:07] Speaker B: I have never had a bad experience on Spirit, ever.
[00:29:11] Speaker A: I've seen the videos.
[00:29:12] Speaker B: Ever.
[00:29:12] Speaker A: No, I know, but I've seen the videos.
[00:29:14] Speaker B: But I'm telling you. And I've flown quite a few times.
[00:29:17] Speaker A: You know, I watch them half the day. I know.
[00:29:19] Speaker B: I have never had a bad experience on Spirit United.
[00:29:24] Speaker A: Did you get one. Did you get one of the. The downtown corner stewardesses?
[00:29:28] Speaker B: They were all wonderful and great and kind.
[00:29:31] Speaker A: And how do they. Then how come, you know, like, when I watch these flight.
They're just so.
[00:29:37] Speaker B: But think about how many flights are taken throughout. And it's all airlines. It's just the people.
[00:29:44] Speaker A: I mean, the white ones are on a power trip. The black ones are afraid their wig is gonna come off. I'm just saying, they're so obnoxious in the videos.
[00:29:53] Speaker B: I can't. I'm just saying, you're watching a video, and if you're too good to fly a commercial airline, maybe you're the problem.
[00:30:02] Speaker A: I'll tell my therapist what you said.
[00:30:05] Speaker B: I'm just saying I'm not too good. I grew up poor. I grew up having nothing.
[00:30:10] Speaker A: So for me, okay, now, you and I were going somewhere. Oh, God.
[00:30:13] Speaker B: Wait a minute.
[00:30:13] Speaker A: Okay.
[00:30:13] Speaker B: For me to have the luxury to go somewhere, I'll just pay for it.
I don't have that luxury. I am not able to do that. So for me, I show a little bit of kindness to people, and it normally comes back to me right when I get on that airplane, I say, good morning, good afternoon, how are you today? Because I want them to. I want to show them that I respect them because they're there to work and they're to do a job. It's the same thing when I'm talking To people that I work with, I'm showing them the utmost respect, love, and kindness, because I may be the one person that they interact with that whole day that gives them good vibes. And then the next person that they interact could be a Karen. So they may carry that.
[00:31:00] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:31:01] Speaker B: On.
[00:31:02] Speaker A: And sometimes I wonder if you just get the whole context in those videos, because it's like. It's almost like you don't. You get the center point, and then from there, it just. You know, I'm saying, like, it explodes. It's almost like you missed up. You missed the build up.
[00:31:13] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:31:13] Speaker A: You know what I mean? And so, I mean, international flights, I mean, that's different, clearly. I mean, I get in business class and I sit in my bed and hold a pillow. You know, I do that. But I mean, you know, I can't.
[00:31:24] Speaker B: Well, I am not.
[00:31:25] Speaker A: And I need to see behind the curtain of who in the hell is steering this thing before I would do anything.
I'll go get. I'll go down the ramp, I'll slide down the slide. Whatever I got to do to get my own shit out of the bottom of that plane. And. But I'm not flying with you. A matter of fact, you can have my. Because I can buy more. I'm not flying with you, bro. You give me bad juju.
See, that's how I would be.
[00:31:52] Speaker B: No, I. I'm completely fine. Like, I just respect everybody. They do.
I got that.
[00:31:59] Speaker A: To me.
[00:32:01] Speaker B: Girl, sometimes you need to be talked down about 10 notches because you sound a little pretentious right now.
[00:32:07] Speaker A: You see, I get called words. I don't even know what they fucking mean. You know.
[00:32:15] Speaker B: I'm just saying. You. You have.
[00:32:17] Speaker A: You stole my words.
[00:32:19] Speaker B: I'm just saying. Honey, I've been saying that since, like, forever. People make fun of.
[00:32:24] Speaker A: But you know what? It's a whole thing.
[00:32:26] Speaker B: Yeah, it. I mean, for you, it is. I grew up in the. In the depths of Portum.
[00:32:32] Speaker A: So I think the last. I don't see, the last commercial flight I took was.
What was the last commercial flight I took? 2,000.
No, wasn't 2001. Cause I wouldn't dare get on a plane when after that happened.
I remember that time. I wouldn't. In all seriousness, I wouldn't. I was scared to death. I barely got out of New York.
[00:32:51] Speaker B: Well, in 2024, I took three.
This year, I'm taking one.
[00:32:55] Speaker A: Because every time you go somewhere, my feelings feel like they're being stepped on because I miss you so much.
[00:33:05] Speaker B: Well, I have to deconnect from the world. I have to.
[00:33:08] Speaker A: No, you deconnect. When you shut off notifications on your phone, I'm like, okay, now she has deconnected.
[00:33:12] Speaker B: I'm fixing to do that in about 30 days because I'm going with my sister in law for father's Day and we're going to go have a couple days at.
To Florida.
[00:33:23] Speaker A: Now you run this by me.
[00:33:25] Speaker B: Well, I don't really care.
I'm just saying it. We're going down there, we're gonna have a little couple days just to, you know, relax.
[00:33:39] Speaker A: Bring me some peanuts from. From your seat. Do they still do that for y' all?
[00:33:42] Speaker B: I don't eat on the airplane. I bring my own snack.
[00:33:45] Speaker A: But do they still do that for y' all?
[00:33:46] Speaker B: Not if you fly the cheaper airlines. You gotta buy that. So that's why I take my own snack.
[00:33:50] Speaker A: Do you still get like a drink? You have to buy that.
[00:33:53] Speaker B: I don't drink.
[00:33:54] Speaker A: I don't like. You don't get a soda. I mean, there's no Pepsi.
[00:33:58] Speaker B: Not all airlines. No.
[00:34:00] Speaker A: There's no pep. And you wonder why I won't do it. That's the main reason.
[00:34:03] Speaker B: Well, you can buy it if, if you, you know, if you're cheap like I am. I mean, I'm gonna.
[00:34:08] Speaker A: You're not cheap. You're frugal. You are frugal, but you're not really cheap.
[00:34:11] Speaker B: I don't listen.
[00:34:12] Speaker A: Well.
[00:34:12] Speaker B: I won't spend more than $20 on.
[00:34:14] Speaker A: A pair of blue. Disclosure. Her husband is going through some positive things and they've just had to like, really kind of control things because he's going through positive.
[00:34:22] Speaker B: No, no, no. I'm just frugal. I'll spend a bazillion dollars on my kids and.
But I'm frugal. I won't spend more than $20 on a pair of jeans. I won't spend more than $20,000 on a car.
[00:34:34] Speaker A: $20.
[00:34:35] Speaker B: Oh, online.
Online at Fashion Nova.
[00:34:39] Speaker A: That's like a crap shoe filled. You don't know what you're gonna get.
[00:34:42] Speaker B: Well, that's okay. Sophia, what do you do if you.
[00:34:44] Speaker A: Want to take them back?
[00:34:45] Speaker B: Those jeans that I brought here and you were like, these are really cute. I really like those that I sent to North Carolina because they didn't fit me. Those were $20 Walmart jeans. Sofia Vergara. So let me tell you something.
[00:34:59] Speaker A: I didn't know she had clothes there.
[00:35:00] Speaker B: Yes, and they're awesome.
[00:35:02] Speaker A: Her jeans are the funny voice that Sophia.
[00:35:04] Speaker B: I love her. She reminds me of Fran you know, the, from the nanny.
[00:35:08] Speaker A: Because that's her real voice.
[00:35:09] Speaker B: Yeah, but I, I'm telling you.
[00:35:11] Speaker A: And then she lost like the hottest man on the planet as a husband.
[00:35:14] Speaker B: I just.
[00:35:15] Speaker A: How do you that up?
[00:35:17] Speaker B: Well, it may not be her. It may not just be her.
[00:35:20] Speaker A: I know, but still you let all that good dick go and let some other.
[00:35:25] Speaker B: What if it's really not that good?
[00:35:26] Speaker A: Oh, God. See, don't do that. Because I thought that too. And I was like, please don't tell me all that means.
[00:35:30] Speaker B: Yeah, but maybe, maybe there's other issues.
[00:35:33] Speaker A: But they had babies, right? Yeah.
[00:35:36] Speaker B: I don't know. Anyways, back to the topic at hand because you'd be getting off on a tangent about.
[00:35:43] Speaker A: We just want to share a Monday with you and this is a typical Monday when we just don't lock down our own heads. This is what happens.
And she starts it and I'm determined to finish it.
[00:35:56] Speaker B: It's because I came in here with spicy stuff.
[00:35:58] Speaker A: Oh, God, you did.
[00:35:59] Speaker B: But anyways, anything else fun and interesting happened to you in the past couple of days? Anything you want to.
[00:36:08] Speaker A: Yeah. So while we can't, like we've said what we said, you know, about the North Carolina trip, I am excited about that trip because it is two weeks away and I get to meet someone new, you know, that is, you know, essential in the continued journey. Did I say that right? Yeah.
And he sounds very exciting and it's going to be something interesting.
[00:36:34] Speaker B: Very excited for you.
[00:36:35] Speaker A: Yeah. Yeah. And I'm more and more, I'm really feeling good about things that we're doing and I, and I like that the, I'm liking the road that we're going down because like you said earlier in all seriousness, we really don't want to be what you can run into, you know, and, and sometimes it's hard and it's not like you have to clap back, but you can only take so much. But I'm really proud of the work that we're doing. I'm proud of the listeners that we have.
I'm, I'm proud that, you know, we have a kind of a, A, a, A voice.
Yeah. You know, and, and we don't know what people think. Why don't you tell them how to let us know what they think?
[00:37:24] Speaker B: Well, you can find us on our.
[00:37:26] Speaker A: Website and, which is dare to be.
[00:37:28] Speaker B: Bold.Net and there is a link that you can contact us with our email and.
[00:37:35] Speaker A: But most of all, they can go to the Tick Tock.
[00:37:39] Speaker B: Yes.
[00:37:40] Speaker A: Let them know what our Tick Tock.
[00:37:41] Speaker B: Is. Oh, Lord, you're gonna make me look it up. I mean, it's under Media Labs.
[00:37:47] Speaker A: It's at Media Labs 4, I believe.
[00:37:51] Speaker B: Media Labs 4.
[00:37:54] Speaker A: Yep.
And so I need to get better.
[00:37:57] Speaker B: About being active on there, and I'm pretty awful right now.
[00:38:01] Speaker A: I think I said something about you were just a little behind, you know, with things, you know, that I wanted to do. Yeah, but we're getting caught up. Summer's here. There's a lot we want to get accomplished this summer.
As I mentioned before in an episode, I do plan on making that trip to Houston to do those interviews.
It will be kind of edgy because, you know, I'm bringing you stories from people that, you know, do live up a pretty hard life, because the streets of Houston are, you know, no joke.
And that'll give you, you know, some insight into the lives of, you know, those people. Because stories like this are things that matter to Alice and I.
[00:38:45] Speaker B: Yes.
[00:38:47] Speaker A: We really want to show the vulnerable side of people, the parts that people don't see because they're already home and shut their garage for the night. But for these people, they can't even shut off the lights because they got to continue to do the most to make it. The world of hustle is something that most people don't ever experience or see.
And, oh, and we are working on getting a video done.
And so it will be, you know, of me just kind of talking with everyone.
It'll be posted on Tick Tock. We're, you know, working on getting it done. I'm arguing with Alice about where I want to have it done, because she keeps saying, you can't be on railroad tracks. And I'm like, I used to walk those when I was a kid, so, yes, I can.
Unless I'm stopped, it's like, literally a federal crime.
Well, you know, CRX can just chill out. I just need to borrow their tracks for, like, five minutes.
But I think you guys will really like it. And something that's going to get posted, we're going to try to do more, put more on Tick Tock.
And as you guys can see, there are pictures of me. There's only two on there, but that's what I'm comfortable with for now. Just so y' all can see me.
And Alice, you know, can't and won't, mostly because she has a hook nose.
And, you know, it looks even worse on, you know, an iPhone.
[00:40:08] Speaker B: Shut up.
[00:40:08] Speaker A: I'm just trying to help you out, man.
[00:40:10] Speaker B: I just don't.
[00:40:12] Speaker A: She cannot be on there.
[00:40:13] Speaker B: Well, I Just don't.
[00:40:15] Speaker A: Due to the limitations of her profession, she cannot be on there.
[00:40:18] Speaker B: Well. And I. I just.
[00:40:20] Speaker A: But she will do the voiceovers on some things. She will do some talking. That is true.
And we need to look forward to that. Just understand that Alice is with us. She's not going anywhere. Don't count her out. We have a lot planned. She's a part of all of it. You should love her because I'm very.
[00:40:40] Speaker B: Much behind the scenes. I'm a behind the scenes girl.
[00:40:44] Speaker A: Yeah. And she is very good at it. She helps critique and plan, strategize. I'm trying to let her have more control over some things.
Oh, we have. We have to get going because we have to go over to our new Patreon show, and I want to tell you this story about my black friend that made me sign a contract.
Yeah. Yeah.
[00:41:11] Speaker B: Okay.
[00:41:12] Speaker A: Yeah. So, everyone, thank you so much for being here with us this evening.
Hopefully there will be a couple more episodes this week so we can keep you entertained. And please head on over to our Patreon page. Like I said, if you have iPhone, just go to the podcast website, scroll all the way down to the bottom, and you'll find the Patreon link. If you're on Android, I will do my best to get answers for you. I'm waiting for a friend to give me those answers because she has Android, and then we'll let you know if you're having problems. We thank you for being here because I am Chronicles and I am Alice and this is Media Labs.
