So earlier today, I found out that there was this like 3d animation of Pinocchio. Last year that was made I think it's like, it's like Russian or something. But they made a dubbed version of it for America. And do you want to know who voiced Pinocchio? Pauly Shore?
Unknown Speaker 0:37
sounds bizarre.
Unknown Speaker 0:40
It was weird to see because I was like, I my brain can't fit this together. Like, of course, Pauly Shore had to, like, make a voice or something like to fit this character. He absolutely did not. It's just like, Pauly Shore voice. It really doesn't match. And it's, it's really, really weird to watch. Like, I like things that kind of conflict sometimes, you know, like,
Unknown Speaker 1:03
like, how, I don't know, like, where how we used to wear like a tutu back in the day or pants and stuff. But yeah, like that.
Unknown Speaker 1:13
That's just two things that should not go together.
Unknown Speaker 1:16
I cannot wait to watch that. We'll definitely have to put a video of that on instagram.
Unknown Speaker 1:20
Yes, it's just like a small clip.
Um, yeah, we'll find a good one. But welcome to nervous laughter podcast.
Unknown Speaker 1:27
Welcome.
Unknown Speaker 1:28
I'm Jamie.
Unknown Speaker 1:29
I'm Alyssa.
Unknown Speaker 1:31
And we're here to deliver you some kind of weird stuff today.
Unknown Speaker 1:35
Yeah, here's something I'm really excited about.
Unknown Speaker 1:38
Yes, I Yeah. I'm super excited for it. And she's like, it's really weird. I'm like, did you say it's gross?
Unknown Speaker 1:44
Yeah, it's gross. Yeah.
Unknown Speaker 1:46
So yeah, I'm excited even though it's I don't know that stuff excites me fuck rollercoasters. Shit forever. We're texting earlier about like roller coasters because Alyssa is going to have a trip to Disney World. And so we're just talking about about them. And I was like, yeah, don't go on these. Oh, that was actually in the last episode of the podcast, so we don't even have to talk about now. Sorry,
Unknown Speaker 2:12
I was like, wait.
Unknown Speaker 2:14
I just I remember texting for some reason or texting about Disney. I don't remember. Anyway.
Unknown Speaker 2:21
Um, how are you? Alyssa, how was your day?
Unknown Speaker 2:27
It's been pretty good spin.
Unknown Speaker 2:29
Getting ready for
Unknown Speaker 2:30
Easter festivity. Oh,
Unknown Speaker 2:33
what are you doing for Easter?
Unknown Speaker 2:34
We're gonna go to my sister in law's tomorrow. She lives in East Texas. So we're gonna go super early because it's like almost a merger. Oh, yes. We are going east for Easter. And then we're gonna get my parents on Sunday. So it's just doing some cooking stuff getting ready.
Unknown Speaker 2:54
Cool. Cool. Yeah, I kind of forgot about that. That was this weekend. Yeah,
Unknown Speaker 2:58
we haven't done anything for Easter in. I don't know how long but this year everyone was like, oh, Easter. I'm like, Okay, I like candy. Don't take Yeah, and hard boiled eggs. Oddly enough. I love just like
Unknown Speaker 3:17
um, I would say hard boiled eggs is my least favorite thing.
Unknown Speaker 3:23
Though I just like you got a hard boiled egg to die. Um, and then you make egg salad and stuff.
Unknown Speaker 3:29
Yeah, I
Unknown Speaker 3:29
just, I was never really a fan of eggs until I was an adult, I guess. So I kind of need to get back into it.
Unknown Speaker 3:36
I know. We've talked about eggs having a weird texture sometimes. And like, sometimes if I scramble an egg like halfway through I'm like, this is vile. I can't eat it. A hard boiled egg. I feel like that's always something I can eat.
Unknown Speaker 3:50
Yeah, you can't smell it when it's cooking. I'm not a fan of the yoke though. It's kind of all crumbling and stuff. Which is why like deviled eggs better because it's not all the best drying crumbly. Get the best
Unknown Speaker 4:07
Miley Cyrus anybody
Unknown Speaker 4:11
hard boil it
Unknown Speaker 4:12
softer, low weight softer heart got it. Sorry I'm not going anywhere with
Unknown Speaker 4:17
that Yeah, have you have anything else going on? Um,
Unknown Speaker 4:25
anything funny happened when you were at Ross today? Oh
Unknown Speaker 4:30
yeah, I sent Jamie a picture these slippers that you know, like Ross they have just like random shit at the checkout that they want you to grab while you're standing in line. And there was this whole thing of water bottles and then I guess somebody decided to put these slippers back
Unknown Speaker 4:47
let me see exactly what they did not put them back. They just threw them.
Unknown Speaker 4:51
Yeah, they threw them on top of the pile of random shit.
Unknown Speaker 4:55
I feel like Ross and TJ Maxx should just have been at the checkout. Let's just like throw shit You're sure that you don't want and someone else will buy it on some other
Unknown Speaker 5:04
idiot who buy it. So I noticed the slippers at first because I saw one of them and it had a coffee cup with a cross on it and I was like, What the fuck is this? And then I got further up in line and I saw that the other one said Jesus and coffee, amen. So one has words the other one has a coffee cup coffee cup with a cross so
Unknown Speaker 5:29
they're beautiful. Maybe I might go back and and take them I don't know. Yeah, they're probably still there purchase them might take
Unknown Speaker 5:37
shoplift them. The Lord not like that on his sons. Well, not birthday. That's Christmas. Resurrection Easter. Yeah.
Unknown Speaker 5:51
On this day of my son's resurrection.
Unknown Speaker 5:56
Don't steal on the stage. Amy.
Unknown Speaker 5:59
How are you doing? I'm doing good. I'm sorry. I
Unknown Speaker 6:04
just keep thinking about biking. Like we're biking earlier today. And I had a I had a little bit of a hard time. What happened? I was just really bad at it today. Um, but we don't really have. I don't think we really have any Easter plans. I was thinking about biking on Easter, but like I wrote it down on my calendar, because I'm trying to be better about planning shut out. So I was like biking question mark. And then I was like, Oh, shit, it's Easter, there might be a lot of kids around.
Unknown Speaker 6:37
Like be hunting eggs. And
Unknown Speaker 6:40
yeah, I don't know, where
Unknown Speaker 6:42
I don't know, in my head. Like, I'm just gonna, like, take my bike out to like, the screen space that we have. And then there's just gonna be like, not 1000s but like, 10s of kids. 1000 kids hunting for eggs, like dodge the mall with my bike.
Unknown Speaker 7:00
I just don't want to hit a kid. So that's everyone's probably going to be like inside and stuff, though. Like,
Unknown Speaker 7:07
or at their church or their Oh, yeah.
Unknown Speaker 7:14
I just I don't know, I'm
Unknown Speaker 7:15
always scared about hitting someone with a vehicle. Yeah, me too. And I told my therapist about it, too. I was like, Are you ever just like, you know, when you're just at like a stoplight of like a crosswalk. And then someone's just like walks in front of you. Or they walk between the cars and you're just like, I could just slam on the gas and like hit them or pin them to the vehicle in front of me. And then she was just like, well, you know, sometimes people that have internalized thoughts and stuff that can turn into this or this or homicidal and I was just like, I am not homicidal, I promise. Like, I will not. I'm not actually going to do these things. My brain just brings them up. And I hate having to argue with myself about my intrusive
Unknown Speaker 8:01
thought. Yeah, yeah. Whenever you're telling me about that, and you were like, yeah, she said, it's not a thing that happens to everybody. I was like, oh, fuck, I'm like, always thought things like that. And I'm like, No, don't think
Unknown Speaker 8:13
it. But part of me wants to be like, No, it's normal. People do think about that stuff. But they do. I think I've need to change a little bit
Unknown Speaker 8:21
of what normal means to me. I
Unknown Speaker 8:25
don't know I I've been operating at a different level of like stress and survival of other people. So my brains kind of different on those things.
Unknown Speaker 8:36
I understand that. Oh, before we move on, I had a memory of course stuff please.
Unknown Speaker 8:44
So I think this could be in California,
Unknown Speaker 8:48
but someone correct me if I'm wrong. And I know it's legal to do and other parts of the world but do you know what lane splitting is?
Unknown Speaker 8:56
So if you're
Unknown Speaker 9:02
looking at the see that poster about lane splitting on my wall,
Unknown Speaker 9:10
Lane flaming
Unknown Speaker 9:11
lane splitting the thing. I'm
Unknown Speaker 9:14
sorry. That was a joke. Okay. I'm sorry. I felt like I think I was just looking around for an exit because I'm just wondering
Unknown Speaker 9:25
what lane splitting is when you're on a motorcycle, or I guess bicycles? I don't know why bicycles. But yeah, you can like drive through the cars.
Unknown Speaker 9:34
So that's actually legal in some place. Yes. I have
Unknown Speaker 9:37
done it
Unknown Speaker 9:38
before. Like motorcycle,
Unknown Speaker 9:40
yes, meat. Well, I don't and it wasn't driving the motorcycle, but me and carboy number three, we're saying I think California have an awful memory. And we're on the bike and we're in traffic and it was really hot. And I think he was worried about the bike overheating or something. And he's like, Okay, we're gonna do it. And so we went with We the cars are so fucking scary because like if somebody opens their doors or something like that maybe not kill you, but that'd be
Unknown Speaker 10:07
awful. No, that's exactly what I think about. I mean, you know, you're going like what, like the speed limit, or at least like me, it's not like super fast. Like there's traffic but like, it always makes me nervous when I see someone do that. Do you know if it's legal in Texas? I don't think it is in Texas. Okay, because I've definitely seen some people do it in Texas, and I don't I don't like it.
Unknown Speaker 10:30
Yeah, I don't either. And like participating in it was awful. Yeah.
Unknown Speaker 10:34
I'm not going to open my door and traffic or anything, but it just, I don't know what if there's a bee in my car. And I just freak out and open it and someone happens to be there.
Unknown Speaker 10:43
Yeah, I don't like it. I don't know why that's a legal thing. It seems like just all bad and no
Unknown Speaker 10:50
good. Just like, it's I don't think it's required to wear a helmet. And Texas on a bike. Yeah. That scares me so
Unknown Speaker 11:00
bad. Yeah, if someone has worked at a funeral home before where a fucking helmet and where all your riding shit, even if you're just going down the street because, yeah, people's bones pop out of their bodies in
Unknown Speaker 11:16
your hair, fiery fragile, like it just got sometimes I'm just like, oh, yeah, I'm just like this meat sack. That's just like, all my stuff is held together by this little layer of skin. Let's just like, I mean, I guess like my skeletal system, too. But you know,
Unknown Speaker 11:34
yeah, it's so weird to think about.
Unknown Speaker 11:38
Um, we do
Unknown Speaker 11:41
both actually know someone. I'm not gonna mention the names or anything, but that actually hit someone with a car door when they were lane splitting.
Unknown Speaker 11:48
I was gonna talk about that after. Because I was like, does she know that? I mean, she has to. Yeah,
Unknown Speaker 11:54
this person had to puke. So they open the door and puked. And someone on a scooter came by and slammed the door and had to go to the hospital.
Unknown Speaker 12:06
So that's like a worst fear
Unknown Speaker 12:08
come true. Yeah. And speaking of more worst fear, things come true. I have a just something I forgot to mention in the last episode relating to Brandon's hospital visit. So when I got in, we got in I had to like go to the separate area to like, check, check. And I was like, like a guest or whatever, just to do like a COVID screen and get a nametag. And so the guy when he handed me my nametag to leave. He was just like, enjoy.
Unknown Speaker 12:43
My did it sound sarcastic? Like maybe he was just dead inside?
Unknown Speaker 12:49
It could have been maybe and then or maybe he did on purpose and was like, I'm gonna make a tick tock later about that awkward thing. But it almost seemed to me like,
Unknown Speaker 12:58
he just didn't
Unknown Speaker 12:59
realize he said it. You get food or whatever. And they're like, enjoy, and you're like enjoy too. And they're like you too. Waiter. Um, so yeah, I just I just thought that was kind of
Unknown Speaker 13:15
kind of funny. It was also a little weird, because
Unknown Speaker 13:19
maybe they just didn't have their lunch breaks worked out. But he was just eating like chicken, like, sticks at his desk. I don't know why, but I just remember. Remember that. And I also have one question for you about or me? Yes. For you. So,
Unknown Speaker 13:42
um, so you're talking about like, we're talking about haunted houses and you're talking about
Unknown Speaker 13:50
worrying about doing some embarrassing shit. Oh, like, what kind of embarrassing stuff are you scared about?
Unknown Speaker 13:59
So I was worried about being like, too scared. Like, for some reason in my head. I was like, what if this was just the most scary thing that's ever happened to me and like, I need an exit. And then I have to like ask one of the like monsters like how do I get out here? And then like, also, I didn't want to embarrass the people I was with like being that person. Oh,
Unknown Speaker 14:23
being like, so scared. You had to leave? Yeah. Like,
Unknown Speaker 14:27
I don't know, like having a panic attack for some reason. And yeah,
Unknown Speaker 14:33
embarrassing. I feel about like, whenever I fall or something, I'm just like, how embarrassing not even like, Am I okay?
Unknown Speaker 14:44
Yeah, I trip and fall a lot. Well, maybe not fall, but I felt like a triple.
Unknown Speaker 14:51
You've gotten good at catching yourself. Yeah, pretty good.
Unknown Speaker 14:56
Even though whenever I'm carrying things and trip My life flashes before my eyes because
Unknown Speaker 15:02
you know a few
Unknown Speaker 15:05
are carrying things like your instinct is to like keep carrying them and maybe you don't put your arms out and you just smash your face or something
Unknown Speaker 15:15
you might need to fix your instance
Unknown Speaker 15:19
not saying drop the things but like when you're carrying things you're trying not to drop them and then you have like the fall and it's just like a lot going on. Yeah.
Unknown Speaker 15:32
I'm just thinking about like times I have fallen and just like trying to think if I've like gone to catch myself or if I'm just like, whoa, and you just kind of keep your stance sometimes and you talk to him.
Unknown Speaker 15:46
Have you ever needed to like abandon a like haunted house early or like a roller coaster ride like leaving the line earlier? Anything? No, it's
Unknown Speaker 15:56
just a stupid irrational fear. But I'm good at coming up with those for pretty much any scenario.
Unknown Speaker 16:05
I mean, I think the bottom of the plane is gonna fall out
Unknown Speaker 16:11
two planes to go on this year I really hope to bottom doesn't fall out like I really hope there's not a Karen that like won't put on their mask and they have to like land the plane like we've seen videos like that. Of Karen's
Unknown Speaker 16:29
having to land plant Oh, them how to land planes early because
Unknown Speaker 16:34
they're like, oh, Karen, you're throwing a fit about the soda. Why don't you come lay in the plane? Yeah. Like
Unknown Speaker 16:43
so my brain went a really weird direction there because I was like, so I have a thing in my head where I'm so I don't like flying but I've actually thought about going to get my flying my like my pilot's before. I'm not saying like it like it's an easy thing I used to go do. But at this internship I had, there's this one guy that was like, becoming a pilot in the Air Force. And, like, I think like two other people were like, Oh, I'm also interested in flying. So they went to like flying school and had their licenses. But um, I would like to do that in case. Like, are there any pilots? Just in case I have to, you know, worst case scenario like one pilot has a heart attack the other one like gets killed by like a terrorist or something. And then I just like someone, can someone take care of the terrorists but then no one knows how to fly a plane. So then I have to be like, I can kind of do it
Unknown Speaker 17:48
imagine if that happened when you're a passenger on the plane, like do it do it? Well, one good thing about planes now like I think they pretty much it's so much technology don't they kind of like fly themselves and the pilots just there.
Unknown Speaker 18:10
So what I've heard is like,
Unknown Speaker 18:12
the pilots are kind of they're more for like the landing and takeoff but I honestly don't know. shit fuck about planes or what goes on when they're being driven. I've seen the movie airplane. But I mean,
Unknown Speaker 18:28
the last time we were flying, it was kind of foggy. And I'm an idiot. And I was like, how do they see in the fog? Number three is like they don't and that just blew my mind. Like they're just sitting there with a big window at the front of the plane and it's
Unknown Speaker 18:47
really dumb cuz I was like, foglights but yeah, I guess they just don't see, I guess. Like radars and stuff to tell him if there's stuff nearby. I don't like that.
Unknown Speaker 18:59
I don't either when he told me that it was like, I wish you wouldn't have told me that. It would have told me foglights or airplanes. Yeah,
Unknown Speaker 19:07
lie to me why first? So I'm gonna get my pilot's license
Unknown Speaker 19:14
I'm so sorry. To where we talking about anything else with planes right there? No, I think so. Um, so I think that's
Unknown Speaker 19:26
kind of my like biggest irrational fear is probably just stuff like that centered around planes. Um, what would you say your biggest
Unknown Speaker 19:35
irrational fear is? Um I don't know maybe like a crash situation in kind
Unknown Speaker 19:50
of crash like vehicle like any kind of vehicle or playing
Unknown Speaker 19:53
like a plane crash. Okay. I mean, car crashes too, but like when I'm on a flight, like What if the plane crashes? But I mean, realistically, you would just die and it would probably be fast. So, I don't know. But I just think about like, what if you actually had to put on the life vest or like the oxygen like that is fucking scary.
Unknown Speaker 20:13
I listen to that shit.
Unknown Speaker 20:16
I'm like, Shut up. Don't talk to me.
Unknown Speaker 20:20
Look around, like follow along in the manual, too and. Okay, so
Unknown Speaker 20:26
you're supposed to, but nobody does. Yeah, on
Unknown Speaker 20:30
the last flight that I was on coming home, the person on the edge of the seat. He had trouble getting like, up and down a little bit like he could but it took him like a good minute. And I was just like, fuck, dude, what if we like crashed and like, I can't fucking go like, because like,
Unknown Speaker 20:50
like, like, I mean, I wasn't, like, annoyed with him
Unknown Speaker 20:55
or anything, but I was just like, trying to like plan what I like going to do.
Unknown Speaker 20:59
Oh, well, I help lift him up. Yeah. Both of us get to the exit.
Unknown Speaker 21:04
Yeah, like, I'll put on my oxygen mask before his Yes.
Unknown Speaker 21:09
That's what you're supposed to do. You listen to the thing they tell you.
Unknown Speaker 21:13
And then always makes me nervous because they're like, stuff can change on every flight. I'm like, oh, no, we're just like,
Unknown Speaker 21:20
I never want to sit in the exit aisle because it's like you're
Unknown Speaker 21:24
responsible for opening the exit door and I'm like now too much pressure. No fucking way.
Unknown Speaker 21:32
Um it's not it for
Unknown Speaker 21:36
airplanes and fears. That you're playing terrier. cycle back whenever you have.
Unknown Speaker 21:46
Yeah, and I'll be scared of someone putting a gun in my bag. Or I guess or security. Yeah. Scary.
Unknown Speaker 21:55
Um, so the other
Unknown Speaker 21:58
there's only one other thing I wanted to tell you about before we dive into like your stuff that you worked on. Um, it's a dream I had last night.
Unknown Speaker 22:08
And it's not
Unknown Speaker 22:10
I don't think it's really on topic with anything we're talking about. But I thought that you would enjoy it so funny. So I had a dream last night that me and Brandon were flying somewhere again. And we were decided to bring the cats this time. So we brought Sam and Diablo and I'm still getting used to doing stuff in like threes for the cat. So I only had we only had like two carriers with us and we were at the airport and for some reason we already had Aris like with us not in the kennel. And we're like, oh crap, we need to put her in a kennel. So we shoved her into the kennel with Diablo with just like dad was bigger than Sam. So we like put her in more cramped space. They had to go under board. But we were able to bring Sam on board. Flight went well. We got to Loews hotel that we're staying out with a bunch of other people. And we're staying out like this, like huge, huge suite. And we got the cats up there. And then everyone goes out for the night. And then like we go back to the hotel and everyone keeps like going in and out and they keep leaving the leaving the door open. So the cats keep getting out. And then we have to keep chasing them around the hotel, like hurting the lobby. And so, um, yeah, that was it. That was my dream. I just had to keep chasing the cats around the hotel lobby after we flew them to wherever we went.
Unknown Speaker 23:34
Oh, that sounds so stressful. It was terrified.
Unknown Speaker 23:38
It was kind of stressful.
Unknown Speaker 23:40
Like it was you know,
Unknown Speaker 23:42
cute, but it did get to a point of like, I'm gonna lose my I'm gonna lose my my babies.
Unknown Speaker 23:50
That's like, whenever my nieces or nephews have been over here. I always get so nervous because I mean their kids like they don't I don't know. I don't feel like they think about it as much and just like have the door open. I'm like, I'm going to lose my children. And they're going to get lost and eaten by a wolf. Like could you not
Unknown Speaker 24:15
Yeah, no, it's Yeah, and whenever children tried to like pet cats, sometimes if they're not trained whelmed like they're about to get fucking claw Hunter bit.
Unknown Speaker 24:28
Mine are good. They were just like runaway but I have a picture of my nephew and he's like little little, like reaching out towards my cat with like a weird claw
Unknown Speaker 24:44
not the kid. Um,
Unknown Speaker 24:48
I remember with Sam Sam's going up. So Brandon had same scription job like long before we were dating, and I just went over to his house to hang out Just like when we were friends, and we had, so it was three people there. I don't know why we're doing less I feel bad now especially knowing Sam more. But like, we just kept fucking with them. Like, like, he was laying on a chair and we kept just like putting her hands on him and just being like, you know, wiggle room. Tell me around just little stuff like that. And, man, he beat the shit out. Really? Yeah. And Brandon was like, oh my god, I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry. I was like, No, it's fine. Like, you know, like, I deserved it. Like I knew what I was getting into. But that was
Unknown Speaker 25:36
I was funny, but you know, now he's my son. And I just like to bring that up to him sometimes.
Unknown Speaker 25:44
I don't know if I've ever been bit by cat. Our cat Bridget she bit two people and both times I was like, yeah. Like, good job, Bridget.
Unknown Speaker 26:00
Yeah, I hate when people are like, expect you to get onto your pet.
Unknown Speaker 26:06
If if like they got bit. Yeah, I mean, if they just bid them for no reason. Like, that's fine. But like, I had a friend one time that was like, um, I've watched her pet other animals.
Unknown Speaker 26:17
Hey, we're pet animals wrong. I'm like, It's not fucking hard. Yeah.
Unknown Speaker 26:22
She has like, I've seen her fucking like, like, take hair off. Like when she's fucking petting animals. Like it's very, very rough. And sometimes she was petting Samsung, Samsung. I was I just saw how rough she was petting her, but I didn't really have a chance to be like, hey, maybe yeah, I've had them a little softer, because he's a little sensitive. But because everyone, you know, was talking in a conversation and couldn't button. And then yeah, he just like, beat the crap out of her hand. And I was just like, Sam, but then I was like, wait,
Unknown Speaker 26:56
no, it was you're fine. I was I was just like, well, you know, maybe just don't pet him anymore. Because he doesn't really want to be touched. He's just that kind of guy. I don't know what to tell me. Yeah.
Unknown Speaker 27:10
I can I remember when I first met you and the cats you telling me like, oh, like be kind of careful with this one. But then I never remembered which one that was? Oh. So I've always just like cautious. I still don't know. He said it, Sam.
Unknown Speaker 27:26
Yeah. Sam is a sensitive one. You can actually like pet Diablo like a dog. Like, like rough them up and stump. He, he really doesn't care. You can like pet this for the wrong
Unknown Speaker 27:37
way. Against the Grain. Yeah.
Unknown Speaker 27:41
And he's cool with it. But yeah, I do like to. I don't know, I like to
Unknown Speaker 27:48
practice proper pet etiquette. But for at least what I refer to it as
Unknown Speaker 27:53
me to like, if I see a dog in public, when 1,000% Always asking if I can pet it, even if other people are or whatever, you know.
Unknown Speaker 28:03
Because I mean, they might know those people and not you like walk up was like, Excuse me. That's my dog. And then even if you ask the owner, I still like to get like, well, I call it well. I guess it's different with all their animals, obviously, but I call it kitty consent. Oh, yeah. The senior like,
Unknown Speaker 28:20
let them sniff Yeah,
Unknown Speaker 28:21
you gotta let them sniff your hand. They might walk away. I might want and then walk back. You can't really enforce it with cats. You gotta be easygoing. Maybe we'll make a video on cat.
Unknown Speaker 28:33
That's a good idea. One of us can pretend to be the cat. That's a good idea.
Unknown Speaker 28:39
Terrifying low with
Unknown Speaker 28:41
me. Yeah, I reserved our name on Tik Tok. So maybe we'll do this because I found podcasts on Tik Tok and like that's, that'll be some good like, free advertising. Yeah. And speaking of that, feel free to rate review and subscribe.
Unknown Speaker 28:59
Where you are listening to this podcast? Yes, I'm like super cool move. Can't see it is but I'm still doing it. Looks great. Thank you.
Unknown Speaker 29:13
Um, so yeah, get those redid come into subbed. And back to
Unknown Speaker 29:22
our regular progress. Alyssa, did you have some?
Unknown Speaker 29:28
Oh, this actually ties in really? Well. What were you talking about? Perfect.
Unknown Speaker 29:31
Let me hop on my segue.
Unknown Speaker 29:36
So a while back, I threw an absolute fit when we were talking about tarantulas and how much I hated them and how weird fucking goth girls have pet tarantulas.
Unknown Speaker 29:48
I wish I was like cool.
Unknown Speaker 29:51
I don't like them. And I found out a new thing that weird people like to have as a pet. Please don't say cockroaches. No Do you okay, I mean, I think they do but can you take a guess?
Unknown Speaker 30:03
Do you want to take my guess was hissing cockroaches and? Okay, I'm
Unknown Speaker 30:07
gonna tell you leeches.
Unknown Speaker 30:09
Oh, why?
Unknown Speaker 30:13
Apparently some of them can have a personality. Some are more shy, some are more friendly. I did a little research into the world of having leeches as a pet. Oh, okay,
Unknown Speaker 30:27
I'm sorry. I just I feel my mind's racing it like it's, it makes you a second.
Unknown Speaker 30:34
So do people feed them on themselves? Yes.
Unknown Speaker 30:41
So the way that I discovered this, I was scrolling tick tock before bed as you're not supposed to do because of blue light and whatnot. But I was. And this chick popped up on my feed. And she's like, oh, yeah, a lot of people have been asking me about my pet. Leech, so I'm gonna show her to you guys. She pulls out this fancy like glass jar with a lid? And she's like, oh, yeah, this is Betty. She lives in my bathroom.
Unknown Speaker 31:15
So I can ask a quick question. Was there anything you like? Was the jar decorated in any way? Or were there like things inside the jar?
Unknown Speaker 31:21
Yeah, it just has, like, shit in it like rocks and like, click
Unknown Speaker 31:27
and play with?
Unknown Speaker 31:30
Like, just like revery type shit.
Unknown Speaker 31:34
Okay, yeah, cuz leeches are like water chips. Okay.
Unknown Speaker 31:38
Yeah. And she said that you have to have a lid on it because their escape artists was which is terrifying. I'm
Unknown Speaker 31:49
just owning a pet that can like escape and suck your blood. Yeah, I mean, that's why I'll never own a spider does it kind of like escape and like bite you and shit. But sorry continue with your leeches. My brain is just like frazzled right now. It's like, well, it's
Unknown Speaker 32:03
insane. She said she Well, I think she said she fed her like once a month or so. But apparently, in my release research I found out that they can go like a year without eating. Whoa. Yeah, but they recommend feeding them like every three to six months.
Unknown Speaker 32:22
I didn't even know they live. But yeah, I thought I forgot to work for me animal.
Unknown Speaker 32:28
Yeah, I forgot to look up how long they live. But apparently they live for a while. Leeches content drink 10 times their weight and blood and a single feeding. Whoa. Yeah.
Unknown Speaker 32:42
So they live two to eight years. Oh, wow. That's a big span.
Unknown Speaker 32:45
That's a long time to have your friend. Betty and apparently they're hermaphrodites so they can get like other leeches. Jizz or whatever. They can just wait. I guess they have their own Jews, but they can
Unknown Speaker 33:05
like they can't reproduce themselves. I Neela just from another.
Unknown Speaker 33:09
No, they can. They can. But I guess they can like hold that. Like, they may not get pregnant. Immediately. They can like, wait to impregnate themselves until they're like an optimal condition. That's
Unknown Speaker 33:23
incredible. I wish we could do that. Like
Unknown Speaker 33:28
that all of a steady job, things are going good.
Unknown Speaker 33:35
But like if you've dated a bunch of guys, and like or I guess you'll learn how to date people just if you've if you've had intercourse with a bunch of dudes and wants to try or you could like maybe try to mix up a few and just get a surprise.
Unknown Speaker 33:53
Yeah. Let's see. So people are adopting buffalo leeches but there's a shit ton of different types of leeches.
Unknown Speaker 34:04
Buffalo leeches are those just bigger? Yes.
Unknown Speaker 34:09
So leeches can be teeny tiny. Just little bitty things or they can look like a big like fat. Nasty.
Unknown Speaker 34:16
Yeah, I just Googled it. Holy
Unknown Speaker 34:17
shit.
Unknown Speaker 34:18
It's as big as like a fucking arm. That's terrifying.
Unknown Speaker 34:23
I don't I don't think I saw those. I saw some that would like fit in the palm of a hand but
Unknown Speaker 34:28
you might be able to see this from work
Unknown Speaker 34:34
it's terrifying. It's like a mobile Pitbull. Yeah, well,
Unknown Speaker 34:39
they call them squishy sausages. It's like a fun little name for them in the leech community.
Unknown Speaker 34:46
I mean it is just like a tube of meat. Like a blood sausage I guess.
Unknown Speaker 34:53
I just sorry, I can't stop looking at these. They kind of they almost look like snakes but like without a head like I don't. That's terrifying. Yeah. So I started it mean to disrupt, you know, it's, you're blowing my mind left and right today.
Unknown Speaker 35:10
It's scary. Like when I was reading about some of this stuff, I was just cringing so hard in my seat and I got all like, whoa. And I would like go to a different page and I would like cover up the pictures like it scroll down, because it just started freaking me out because these people let them feed off of them. So their leech will feed off of them.
Unknown Speaker 35:34
That and now I'm assuming you start I think you started it can eat up to 10 times its size and blood. Yeah. Which so
Unknown Speaker 35:42
they get all like, puffy. Is that like a safe
Unknown Speaker 35:47
amount to train? And I don't know if you know, but I mean, you've trained blood from people before.
Unknown Speaker 35:52
Yeah, it definitely is. I think it said it's like 15 milliliters. So it's like not very much how much
Unknown Speaker 35:58
is typically drained from Sorry, I'm like really bad with Magennis.
Unknown Speaker 36:04
A pint pint?
Unknown Speaker 36:06
Ben and Jerry's ice cream. Yeah,
Unknown Speaker 36:08
we're like a pint glass or? Yeah. So I don't know, I don't think this was very much. But yeah, it just, it was sketching me out so bad because people were talking about just letting their fucking leech go on. And there's pictures of it too, and like their head and is a little bit smaller. And it's just like, you can see all the blood and some people said they can't even feel it when their leech bites them. But some people say it's like a mosquito mosquito sting. But I guess they have stuff in their saliva that kind of numbs it. And they also have like blood thinner type of saliva. So that's how they get the blood to like flow out.
Unknown Speaker 36:53
Oh, it kind of like seeps through the skin as opposed to like,
Unknown Speaker 36:57
breaking through the skin. Like the blood sugar
Unknown Speaker 37:03
is really interesting. I never knew any stuff. I'm just, that's kind of interesting that it numbs it. That makes it like a really cool little sneaky guy,
Unknown Speaker 37:11
I guess. Yeah. And a lot of times they're in cold water. So you know, people are just feeling cold, so they won't even feel them attached, which fucking freaks me out because we'll like go to the river and my husband's family's house. And I'm like, if I ever came out of there with a leech, I would absolutely lose my shit. Like, and I guess because of the blood thinner capability that they have, like that little neck can bleed for a long time. Oh, shit. Yeah. Like people said it could bleed like 12 hours later. So you really have to, like keep on top of it.
Unknown Speaker 37:46
Do you? That's nuts. That would suck for someone that already has like, an autoimmune issue with like,
Unknown Speaker 37:52
blood. Is there even an autoimmune issue with
Unknown Speaker 37:56
like, thin one? I don't know. For some reason, I'm thinking there's a condition where people have fun.
Unknown Speaker 38:02
Probably. I'll Google it as your opinion.
Unknown Speaker 38:07
But yeah, that's one of the things they say not to do this if you have like an autoimmune condition, because there's a small chance that you can, you know, have something happen to you like an infection or whatever. And they also don't say it's good to feed them your blood because you could be on medications that would harm the Leech. Oh, yeah. This is so great.
Unknown Speaker 38:29
I mean, I guess it is kind of like, you know, like when you breastfeed like it's getting Yeah, it gets
Unknown Speaker 38:34
whatever you get. Yeah. So what people will do is, well, it depends on your species or type of leech that you have, you can give them you can put like a worm in there, and they'll like kind of suck its blood and like, get some of it and then you're just like, take the corpse out after they're done. Or some types will like, like beef liver, like raw beef liver, which really freaks me out. Just the sight of that just sounds terrifying. Have you heard of the liver king? Oh,
Unknown Speaker 39:11
maybe I'll do some research on it for a future episode, but it's this guy that he eats a bunch of like raw meat, including like some livers and he's just like, I'm a primal Alpha.
Unknown Speaker 39:25
I have seen that guy. Yeah, I know what you're talking about. So gross. And he's eating all kinds of raw sugar. Yeah.
Unknown Speaker 39:33
I saw this one thing on TLC you remember the show? That's like my
Unknown Speaker 39:39
what? A bit.
Unknown Speaker 39:41
strange habit. Yeah, there was one dude that would like eat raw beef. I remember. Yeah. And the doctor was like, he was like, No, I'm fine. And the doctor was like we did this panel and you have like, all these not pesticides. But please continue with the feeding
Unknown Speaker 40:02
of these leeches let's say diets. There
Unknown Speaker 40:10
is a therapist that was interviewed by some website. She said she keeps for Buffalo leeches as pets, and she lets them feed once a month. Once they get feeding you don't even feel it. Even with the large buffalo leeches she told Science Alert. She owns a five foot Anaconda and our carnivorous centipede and she lets these bloodsuckers slither freely around
Unknown Speaker 40:41
the room. Okay, fuck a centipede.
Unknown Speaker 40:44
I didn't even know there was carnivorous and I peds.
Unknown Speaker 40:47
I didn't know that either. But apparently this person likes to have terrifying fucking shit in there.
Unknown Speaker 40:54
People like that. I mean, I get that they're living things and stuff too, but
Unknown Speaker 40:58
they're scary.
Unknown Speaker 41:01
I will not put that into my house voluntarily. No, I will vacuum that shit up. Yes.
Unknown Speaker 41:09
Like you can join your Wasp friend inside my vacuum. Yeah. Oh, I did write down here that there are 600 known species of leeches. Why
Unknown Speaker 41:20
it's spiking. 600 That's fucked up, dude.
Unknown Speaker 41:25
Yeah, apparently some of them don't drink blood. But a lot of them do.
Unknown Speaker 41:30
I can hang with those guys. Yeah.
Unknown Speaker 41:33
And this person they interviewed said it's their children. Like it's just like a cat or dog. Don't judge us. I'm like, okay, my cat isn't sucking my blood and when someone Yeah, it doesn't look creepy as fuck.
Unknown Speaker 41:48
Yeah. Sorry. I'm googling more pictures of of leeches. I'm
Unknown Speaker 41:53
trying to I'm googling like largest leeches. But they're not as big as as Buffalo ones. So what's up with this search?
Unknown Speaker 42:02
Yeah, apparently. Leeches are still used for medicinal stuff. Why? Like if there's a fucked up lamb that's dying. Sometimes they'll use them to like suck out the bad blood like the claudi Gross blood.
Unknown Speaker 42:19
Oh, to help with blood clots. Just because
Unknown Speaker 42:22
it's trying to suck the blood through and it makes the blood go through quicker because the blood thinner anything? Yes. Anyone currently in medical leech practice? Let us know. Yeah,
Unknown Speaker 42:39
and I guess they use it for like sometimes plastic surgery and like treat beauty treatments and shit because it like you said kind of gets blood flowing.
Unknown Speaker 42:49
Yeah. Hmm. Interesting. I could just like imagining people with like a bunch of leeches on their face. Because I do all the like pens and all that kind of shit.
Unknown Speaker 43:02
In the blood going and now now that's weird.
Unknown Speaker 43:05
I just imagine that lady. The last lady you're talking about she just like, oh, it's feeding day and she's just like it's a tank top on and like, sticks them on her back. She's just like, just like walking around the house. doing housework
Unknown Speaker 43:19
Oh, like it's just I don't know why it freaks me out so bad because I'm not squeamish like blood and shit. It doesn't bother me at all. But I don't know the the idea of a leech like sucking on you. It's so gross. Yeah, like I don't
Unknown Speaker 43:34
mind the idea of like having one but like, feeding it from your blood. So often. i
Unknown Speaker 43:45
Yeah, apparently it has to be at a certain temperature. I think it's like 36 degrees Celsius. The
Unknown Speaker 43:51
blood does. Well, we're just like, orders for leeches
Unknown Speaker 43:55
to eat. Oh, so if you if you decide like, Hey, I don't want these fuckers eating my blood then you can go to the butcher and like get blood. But you have to make sure to warm it enough. It's like all fresh and yeah. So great.
Unknown Speaker 44:12
Mm hmm. Interesting.
Unknown Speaker 44:15
Yeah. I just imagine them to like, instead of doing like sucking they just like make like a little tea cup. Put some of their blood in it. It's like you get a little baby. I don't know. Did any of them like dress them up to I imagine someone
Unknown Speaker 44:31
I love one of the videos I saw last night as that first girl that had Betty she showed Betty feeding and there was like a little bow but I think it was like a CGI type of thing. I'm like oh thank you could get oh it was late and I was freaked out so I'm not sure but
Unknown Speaker 44:57
I guess I just don't understand like what's enticing about But kind of a pet, because you don't interact with it. I mean, I guess you're interacting it with it when they have personalities.
Unknown Speaker 45:06
According to these people. I have no idea how but
Unknown Speaker 45:11
they might be fun to just watch, but I don't. Yeah, if it was like in
Unknown Speaker 45:15
a little aquarium, and I never had to touch it fine, but yeah, you have to take it out of the water to feed it cuz one of the comments on her video was like, Well, can I just dump my diva cup in there a diva cup is it's a menstrual cup, collects everything. She was like, No, that wouldn't work
Unknown Speaker 45:41
in a psych on you. Oh, yeah, that's definitely not something I would be down for. Have you? Have you seen people owning like kissing cockroaches and stuff?
Unknown Speaker 45:54
I knew that happens. But roaches don't bother me that much. But also, I don't want to watch a video of somebody like these are my roaches.
Unknown Speaker 46:03
I can't.
Unknown Speaker 46:06
They're like, like, I would rather own a fucking leech than own a fucking cockroach. Like, I can't do it like and I remember this one video that's like, might have been something. I'm like BBC or TLC or something. But it's like, this little girl has a weird collection. Yeah, you've seen it. Yeah. And then she's just like, opens this bin and there's like 10s of hundreds of fucking hissing cockroaches and you just hear Molly. There. She's like, here get on me. And they like crawling or and I'm just like,
Unknown Speaker 46:39
bah. Do you like, Ah, sorry, this
Unknown Speaker 46:43
is getting me going. Yeah,
Unknown Speaker 46:45
that's how I felt when I was reading about this shit. Like, it's sort of freaking me out. And I really didn't want to sit in my chair. And like, what if there's something on my chair? Like, so gross? It's like,
Unknown Speaker 46:55
um, I've ever watched a creep show? A little bit. Um, so I think that's like the last one in the movie or the second tallest, but the one with the cockroaches in the guy's apartment. Oh my God, dude. I don't know if this is what brought on like my fear of cockroaches. But it's like this guy. He's like, in the super like, squeaky clean apartment. Everything's white. It's like a look like he can make fuckin like CPUs, CPU chips in there. Um, and then like, there's like a cockroach and then like, he kills it. And he's like, that's weird. And he calls the front desk complain. And then he finds another one and they just like, slowly kind of keep creeping in. And then um, he like, calls someone to come out and take care of it. But anyway, like, his whole place just gets like overrun with roaches. And he's like, he's like, barricades and stuff in this room. But then they still get into there and like, overrun him. And I'm like,
Unknown Speaker 47:56
Oh my god. Why? Like if I see one
Unknown Speaker 47:59
Roach like, I can't go to sleep at night, because I'm just like,
Unknown Speaker 48:05
No, I'm sorry.
Unknown Speaker 48:09
And oh, sorry. Were you gonna say oh,
Unknown Speaker 48:10
no, no, go ahead. Um,
Unknown Speaker 48:13
I just wanted to bring up one other thing. I was because you're talking about going to the river. like freaking out about getting a leech on you. My thing? Well, now leeches isn't included in that. But my thing with that has always been ticks. Like
Unknown Speaker 48:33
got a tick on the one time you
Unknown Speaker 48:35
know, did it get like in your skin? Yeah. How do you get it out? Sorry. I'm just
Unknown Speaker 48:41
I just like freaked out and like ripped it out with my hand. I know. Now you're not supposed to do that. Are you suppose you might get the head? Yeah. But yeah, I just ripped it out. And I was fucking traumatized.
Unknown Speaker 48:53
i My sister got to take once, but she wasn't home. And so she texted us and she was like, freaking out. And her friend, I guess kind of like helped her pick it out. And I think that they also tried to, like kind of burn it. Oh, yeah, I've heard like that. Yeah, I've heard of people doing that. So they tried to kind of like burn it with a lighter, but like, oh, god ticks are like one of my biggest fears. Because like they're so small, but they like you won't see them and they will like fuck up your life. Yeah, like, oh,
Unknown Speaker 49:26
parasites in general. Yeah, terrifying.
Unknown Speaker 49:30
Did you ever watch the monster inside? Yes. I
Unknown Speaker 49:34
love that show. I love it. And I never I think
Unknown Speaker 49:38
I only got to watch like the first two episodes but I used that was on Discovery Channel, right? I think so. Yeah. Cuz I would always watch shows like that. And I'd see commercials for it. And I'm like, oh, yeah, I'm gonna watch it, but I'd never be able to catch it. But like,
Unknown Speaker 49:51
it's on. Dude. It's on one of the streaming services and one day I just sat down and watched a fog. 10 of them surprising Really, that doesn't really bother me as much because it's like microscopic little things that cause illness. It's like a lot of the things on there so it's not that bad, like cringe worthy, but oh yeah, it's pretty crazy. I've seen some, some weird ones.
Unknown Speaker 50:18
Yeah, I'm like, um,
Unknown Speaker 50:20
I don't know if there's a show on Netflix. I watched I can't remember what it's called. But it's basically like, follows these this handful of people and it's basically trying to debate about if they are if they're actually sick, or if it's kind of like all in their head. I've seen that oh, yeah, there was the one guy that like actually had the whatever blind disease or whatever like the I hate you takes you pieces of shit like how they are. How can you do this?
Unknown Speaker 50:51
How dare you?
Unknown Speaker 50:53
And like the TIG. That's an
Unknown Speaker 50:54
awesome
Unknown Speaker 50:57
Texas. It might it might be in more areas, but I think I've heard about it mostly in Texas that will like make you allergic to meat or whatever. I heard about that one. It's like the lone star tick or something.
Unknown Speaker 51:09
But yeah, it like you can't eat meat after that. But anyway, yeah, maybe
Unknown Speaker 51:17
I'll maybe I'll do more research on Texan. Yeah, I'm gonna be so pissed off of people on Texas pets.
Unknown Speaker 51:27
Hopefully no, but I never would have thought fucking leeches either.
Unknown Speaker 51:34
I just every time you I just keep thinking about leeches crawling, like all over people's arms. And
Unknown Speaker 51:40
it's so gross. And there's a bunch of YouTube videos. And I was like, I simply cannot do this. Like, I cannot watch a video of somebody having leeches crawling all over them. No.
Unknown Speaker 51:52
Did you ever watch this older very, very old YouTube video. And it was a girl
Unknown Speaker 51:57
that I can't I really can't
Unknown Speaker 52:01
remember the premise of it. But she was just like this goth chick making a vlog. It's like a joke video. But she was like, Oh, this is my cockroach Gregor. And like, I got him out of a pizza box. Because like our life existed, and you have to somehow like dumb enough stuff. But like, I don't know. I'll just keep thinking about someone like that like holding a leech and just being like, yeah, we look to suck blood. We're like vampires or some shit.
Unknown Speaker 52:27
I think a Dracula leech is one of the types. Oh, Dracula Lee, that came up in my Google search. I didn't know if it was a type or someone's pet. But I didn't want to click the link. Because I was scared that's decently
Unknown Speaker 52:44
big to it looks like they range from tiny to, like just overfitting in your whoa, whoa. Okay,
Unknown Speaker 52:53
I think I can look because it's far away. If you want to show me your phone.
Unknown Speaker 52:57
Well, yeah, just to show you the two things I found. There's like leech sucking and there's bunch of blood there. And then it's like, a dude's hand wrapped up and there's a bunch of blood seeping through the gauze. And it's interesting in the picture, because I feel like it kind of shows like what you were talking about with the blood thinning, because some of these patches are obviously like old and then there's one like bright red. That's like look super new. And then there's a spot that's kind of in the middle. So looks like he had like a big feeding session and then wrapped up for the Instagram,
Unknown Speaker 53:39
one of the people I read their leach testimony of they were like, well, it's it's only every like three to six months, so it's really not a big deal. I'm like, that's a huge fucking deal. Yeah, definitely gonna leech on me.
Unknown Speaker 53:56
Yeah, like, I don't know, like,
Unknown Speaker 53:59
going to get my IUD replaced every five years is not a big deal,
Unknown Speaker 54:04
but people pass out. To me. That's a big deal. Like I've heard like, awful horror stories about that shit
Unknown Speaker 54:10
hurts. It hurts so bad. Um, yeah, not the first time I got it done because I, I mean, they didn't form warn
Unknown Speaker 54:18
me about like, the pain or anything like that at all. And so
Unknown Speaker 54:23
I was just like,
Unknown Speaker 54:25
I just started cursing up a storm and the nurse kind of started to kind of like laugh a little bit. And she just was like, Here, you hold my hand and stuff. And I was just like,
Unknown Speaker 54:34
okay, having a kid if like, this hurts flatbed.
Unknown Speaker 54:38
I've seen so many videos of people being like, that was the worst thing that ever happened to me. And I'm like, Why don't they give you drugs for that? I mean, it's ridiculous that they don't
Unknown Speaker 54:52
I'm sure in some cases they might but but yeah, I don't know. They're probably just like, Oh, it's just, she's just complaining because she's a woman. That's it. A woman's trouble.
Unknown Speaker 55:03
Yeah, but like, it's like the female doctor. I'm like, don't you understand? Like, how the female part works? Yeah, like you're a doctor of the female parts and you are one so why are you not sympathetic to this?
Unknown Speaker 55:18
Well, my first stock my first OBGYN was a male in the one I have now as a female, but I don't like her as much some might someone else. But my first one
Unknown Speaker 55:30
he was so
Unknown Speaker 55:31
weird. Not weird in the way of like, I was creeped out. Wow. But just like his sense of humor. I liked it. It was really funny. Like, um, one time, you know, he's, they have to kind of like sometimes feel around for some stuff or whatever. And he was like, Alright, I'm just gonna be like a little squish. And he just goes like, Squish Squish this guy knows his job is awkward with it.
Unknown Speaker 56:04
So yeah, that was that was that was good times at the OBGYN anyway. Um, so yeah, we were just back to the leeches. Did you have any other leech?
Unknown Speaker 56:17
No. I kind of when I was thinking about like goth girls having weird pets, I kind of remembered some stuff about this goth clothing company that I it's very crazy. So that I talked about that. So this is a company called doll skill. And I think they're pretty big, like alternative clothing. My theory is that I'm like dolls, and then kill is another word.
Unknown Speaker 56:47
Okay. Okay. This form for like DOS, kids skills.
Unknown Speaker 56:50
I wasn't sure how to say it. But I heard a video of another person saying it and I was like, okay, dolls
Unknown Speaker 56:56
kill. Is it sort of like, my brain is going to like Emily the strange.
Unknown Speaker 57:03
Yeah, I think they have different brands. And it's just kind of a collection like a curated thing of alternative stuff. Okay. So it was the company was formed, I think with a husband and wife, but we're going to be talking about the wife and the situation. Her name is Shadi Lin. And she's a DJ. It's like sh o DD y. Shadi, okay. Apparently, whenever, like the protest, and George Floyd, whenever that happened, she posted a thing supporting the police on Instagram, and everybody was like, Hey, fuck you, bitch, like, what are you doing? And then she issued this apology video that was like, I didn't know that I was gonna hurt people's feelings. I didn't mean it like that. And I'm like, whatever. stupid comment, like, talking about like, but I knew about a couple other things that had happened with that company. So I started looking into it a little bit more. And apparently, now they have a page on their website. That's called, like, what we stand for. And basically all it is is like all these claims against them. They're like, No, we don't do that. No, we didn't do this. And it's a whole page of that. Oh,
Unknown Speaker 58:33
I don't I don't know if that's like the best move.
Unknown Speaker 58:38
It's like, well, people say we did this, but we do this. It's like what the fuck? Since this whole page, so I knew about this shirt that they had I heard other people talk about it and be like, fuck this company. Like don't buy from them. So in 2016 they carried a shirt by the European brand w ay ay. And it said golf is white.
Unknown Speaker 59:07
What Whoa, yeah, yeah, it's this white. Yeah. So
Unknown Speaker 59:14
the shirt was part of a collection, featuring statements golf is about dot and then like different things. So
Unknown Speaker 59:22
like,
Unknown Speaker 59:24
sorry, my brain just goes like those anti drug commercials like the boardings, my anti
Unknown Speaker 59:30
got this skateboarding. But yeah, the brand said that the collection intended to convey convey that Goss can wear any color not just black. And everybody was like Hey, like do you realize how shitty this sounds? Yeah, like saying like Gaza is for white people.
Unknown Speaker 59:52
I don't see how they wouldn't get told you not know that.
Unknown Speaker 59:56
Like if you're if you want it to be like God's can wear any color like why would you not be Like, golf are pink, like something?
Unknown Speaker 1:00:03
Yeah, just apparently there's some other T shirts in the collection. But this one stood out. And they had why? Yeah, they have the shirt. Like a black T shirt with the letters are white and they said goth is white. I'm like, how is that portraying what you're saying? If it's a black shirt, and then they have a version that's white with that written in black. But I'm like, if you have a black shirt, it makes it look even more like you're saying goth is for white people.
Unknown Speaker 1:00:33
Yeah, like, Wait, so did the other shirts. I got his black or No, I wouldn't say just do both. Like I don't.
Unknown Speaker 1:00:41
Well, they have a black shirt and a white shirt. And both of them say goth is white. But like on the black shirt, it's written in white. And on the white shirt. It's written in black,
Unknown Speaker 1:00:50
but like, it's kind of weird. If
Unknown Speaker 1:00:53
you have the black shirt that says goth is white. Because if you're saying it's because you can wear any colors, like it's on a black shirt. Yeah.
Unknown Speaker 1:00:59
Like, why don't you mix up the I don't know, like they could have made like a whole series of like colors and stuff. And but they specifically chose to go with that. Yeah, I feel like they're trying to stir up stuff and just get attention. Yeah. Especially if they're putting all that stuff on their website. They might be going for search engine optimizations, just based off of that.
Unknown Speaker 1:01:23
Yeah, so they say we would never support a message that marginalized or excluded anyone. Then don't make a shirt that says, yeah, don't carry this shit. Also in 2016
Unknown Speaker 1:01:38
Apparently they
Unknown Speaker 1:01:39
didn't do this. They're saying that people pinned it on them. But it was another Shirt Company. Yeah, another shirt company called sugar pills. And they had a shirt that said dead girls can't say no.
Unknown Speaker 1:01:56
Oh, yeah. Oh,
Unknown Speaker 1:01:59
yeah. And everybody fucking blasted them and dolls kill was like, That's not us. Like it's this other brand. Why does everybody think it's us? But I'm like, with all your other fucking track record, like, I'm sure you did have it on there. You just took it down or something. I kind
Unknown Speaker 1:02:15
of like scroll through their website. And I think you said like, they own a bunch of different brands. But I mean, like, you'll probably was one of the brands that they owned or something.
Unknown Speaker 1:02:25
Yeah, pretty fucking cringe. And they were like, No, we we would never support rape culture. I'm like, okay, whatever. There was also a thing. I think it was in 2014. They sold like an Indian headdress is a Halloween costume. Yeah. They were like, oh, yeah, we didn't mean anything by that. Then they have another, like a bunch of instances of them. Kind of ripping off like smaller artists. And they'll show like side by side. And obviously they rip them off. And on that page, that's like what we stand for. There's a link to where if you see something that looks like it's ripped off, you can like fill out this form. Like that was that big of a problem for y'all that you're like, Oh, here's this form if anything looks like your arch that you plan on saying? Yeah, and this is all on their their page. I'm like, What the fuck are y'all doing?
Unknown Speaker 1:03:27
Lamb? I think that might happen on Shane a lot. mistaken because I have seen videos where people are like, this is me emailing sheen, because I made this design blah, blah, blah. Crazy. It happens so much with them though.
Unknown Speaker 1:03:44
Yeah, that's a shitty company. Should super shame. It's like, God, these things are so. Yeah, and the fact that they have a whole area that's like, that's not what we did. And like, this makes it seem like you did it even more. Yeah. You wanted it super guilty.
Unknown Speaker 1:04:04
Um,
Unknown Speaker 1:04:05
let me try to find this one shirt. I remember it came out a few years ago. I can't remember the brand of it though. So give me just a second. So I found the one that I was thinking of. I don't know if you heard about this, but this was in 2014. Urban Outfitters
Unknown Speaker 1:04:25
got in a lot of trouble.
Unknown Speaker 1:04:25
I don't know if they're actually like charged with any thing like this article says was charged with exploring the outer reaches a bad taste, but that doesn't seem doesn't sound like a real charge. But anyway, they had released a sweatshirt line in different colors. And just to quote this article from the week, the sweatshirt was widely interpreted as a reference to the 1970s Kent Kent State massacre, in which four unarmed students were shot and killed by the Ohio National Guard during Vietnam War protest. And like a sweatshirt It was like a vintage looking sweatshirt that's like a like Kent State and it had blood stains on it
Unknown Speaker 1:05:05
was like why? Here's a picture of it like he can probably see like the blood stain
Unknown Speaker 1:05:15
yeah
Unknown Speaker 1:05:19
yeah
Unknown Speaker 1:05:19
it's like I don't I
Unknown Speaker 1:05:23
i understand that fashion is an expression of art but you kind of have to know where the lines are
Unknown Speaker 1:05:32
yeah imagine like somebody's mom saying that like oh cool you made a t shirt about Mom and Dad kid like thanks for doing that.
Unknown Speaker 1:05:40
Yeah like I don't know there's a reason why true crime isn't that big in the fashion world and that's not very appropriate
Unknown Speaker 1:05:53
so anyway, hope you guys have a great day.
Unknown Speaker 1:05:55
Yeah, don't support shitty fashion.
Unknown Speaker 1:06:00
Yeah, don't don't support shitty clothes. And I noticed on the website for the one that you were talking about. They had Delius on there as one of their brands which like I was kind of sad to see because I used to like that brand as a kid. Maybe
Unknown Speaker 1:06:14
they just carry it maybe like there Yeah, that's fun. Like do you see Yeah,
Unknown Speaker 1:06:18
I remember getting like the magazines and be like I'll circle everything that I want because there's no way I was actually going to be able to buy it
Unknown Speaker 1:06:24
