Good morning,  

[00:01:09] Unknown:

Vietnam.  

[00:01:12] Unknown:

In the crossroads of despair,   where the dollar stores and Walgreens   line the empty square.   Gas station   gamblers   scurry from Jamonville's   life   as these distilled spirits warm us for the coming night.   Even if the best days   are fading   in the rear view,   We'll find the joy   in the struggle   in the broken   and the few good morning faded now.   Let's laugh through the pain.   We're still here,   still fighting.   Our strength still remain.   Good morning, Vietnam.   Let's get started.  

[00:02:08] Unknown:

Okay. So I see there's there's page connected there. Okay.   I got the I got a subscription to Hell's Standard last week that I bought. It's $20 a month.  

[00:02:19] Unknown:

And Did you use it, Roni?  

[00:02:22] Unknown:

I did. And the next day, the paper started showing up. And it has been fucking showing up relentlessly   since. So I just pile off I just burned   all of last week, so this is it was great killing. With these people, 84,000  

[00:02:35] Unknown:

readers each week. Yeah. Can you believe that? I don't believe that. I don't believe in it either.   Well, the first thing I wanted to say was,   the the Italian oven   in Connellsville was packed tonight,   so  

[00:02:50] Unknown:

they must be doing something right. I didn't know they had a concentration camp for Italians.  

[00:02:56] Unknown:

And they were even I noticed multiple vehicles there from West Virginia. Dude,  

[00:03:00] Unknown:

these hillbillies will drive for Italian. I can't believe the Italian of it is still open. It's right there on one night. Everybody loves that place. The last time I was in Italian oven, I was with my parents. I must have been 20 years old. And you know what? I hated it. I thought it was awful. It can't be good. It can't be good. Bud Murphy's isn't good.   But Murphy's is fucking terrible. Yeah. So   fuck you, bud.  

[00:03:24] Unknown:

World's greatest pizza. Yeah. That is.  

[00:03:28] Unknown:

We went there with an asker. If your if your world is Connellsville.  

[00:03:32] Unknown:

Yeah.   Which   what what better place could you be? Oh, we did go we did go there with,  

[00:03:38] Unknown:

Scott Christianson and his little pencil mustache. After we toured,  

[00:03:44] Unknown:

the water was like a water plant. Right? Water plant. Yeah.  

[00:03:47] Unknown:

Well, here we go. Let me tell you that fucking water is the best water you could ever get. Cleanest water in the world comes from that plant. Sure it is. So so that water is so good that, that when we change the filter under the coffee, the coffee machine at work, that it's brown and slimy.   Is  

[00:04:04] Unknown:

that good?   The sarcasm?  

[00:04:10] Unknown:

I don't know. Do Jews have sarcasm?  

[00:04:13] Unknown:

Not for fucking long.   Tell you that much. So did you give me the front page? I gave you Friday's paper. I'm holding Sunday's, so I have future paper. Well, here's This is tomorrow's paper. This is by,   can we say the author's name? Oh, I would definitely say the author's name. Zach Petrov,   family of grindstone man shot by police starts GoFundMe.   Well, this is what we're writing about.  

[00:04:40] Unknown:

What's his name, Zac Petrov?   This guy's a hell of a reporter. I've read his stuff earlier. Is he really?  

[00:04:46] Unknown:

Alright, Zachary.   A grindstone man who was fatally shot by police   during a welfare check on Tuesday had been struggling with his mental health, his sister wrote in a GoFundMe post.   Christopher Hackney, 27,   was shot by Redstone Township Police   at his home on Lyndale Road around 9 PM, Tuesday. It was his home?   Says his home. Yes.   This sounds exactly like what you'd expect from the government. Hold on a minute. They were checking on his welfare? So it's a welfare check. Yep. Welfare and he ended up dead? Maybe they did him a favor. Maybe like this guy's fucked.  

[00:05:22] Unknown:

But that was misery. What do you think could lead to   a man having a welfare check and ending up dead? Well,  

[00:05:30] Unknown:

government involvement, apparently.   According to a release from state police,   Redstone officers responded to the home after someone requested they check the welfare of a suicidal man. Oh my god.  

[00:05:44] Unknown:

So You should've laughed at that.  

[00:05:46] Unknown:

It's it's a nervous laugh.   See, it's called irony. This man was   considering killing himself, so the cops did it for him.   No details have been released about what occurred when police arrived. Pay for that. There you go. No details have been occurred.   No details have been released about what occurred when police arrived to prompt the shooting in Fayette County District Attorney Mike,   I don't know how to say his name.  

[00:06:13] Unknown:

Abele? Is he a dega?  

[00:06:15] Unknown:

Doesn't look dega to me. No enough eyes in that name. Said Thursday that the investigation is still very active.   Abele said he may be able to release more details next week.  

[00:06:28] Unknown:

This is code for the Zach Bischoff wrote an article about no details. Correct.   Well, why don't we fill in the details? What do you think? Oh, let's let's go see the scenario. Well, it it seems like   well, it was the government. They'd have shot the dog. That's Zach that's Zach Petrov.  

[00:06:48] Unknown:

Hey. Go later. Finley sounds suicidal right now.   Yeah. Yeah. I don't know. I mean This is like Ruby Ridge.   So we will  

[00:06:59] Unknown:

go lay down, boy. Lay down. Go fuck back over there and lay down.  

[00:07:04] Unknown:

Hackney's sister   identified in the GoFundMe post as Amber Mower, Mower, said her brother struggled with mental health for many years.   Whether you knew him personally or not,   if you ever had the chance to connect with Chris, you would have seen his kind heart and genuine care for the world around him. He truly wanted the best for everyone, and it breaks our hearts that he couldn't find peace. So,   without going to page a 5, it sounds like this guy was suicidal. The cops showed up, checked on him, and ended up killing him. So  

[00:07:33] Unknown:

What what do you think could cause a cop to shoot   a a man who is, like, what do you think? Do you think he do you think he came at him with, like, a lead pipe? I mean, I'm maybe he had a gun or something.   Well, there's no details. Why is there no why there are no details? I mean, don't you think that'd be the first thing Capa says he had a gun?  

[00:07:53] Unknown:

Well, so my first problem here is   it's not the cost of business if someone's gonna kill themselves.   Did they enter his home?   Did they find him outside? I mean,   I don't think you have the right to enter someone's home just because they're threatening to kill themselves.   Do you? No.   Yeah. So whatever happened I mean, if someone's threatening to kill themselves, they probably have something dangerous   happening   inside their property. And if you go in as a policeman, you might   be able to argue that you felt in danger now, but you shouldn't have been there in the first place as a police officer.   That's true. Let me see. Maybe maybe, the page connector will reveal more details, but I don't think we're gonna go there. What page is this? Is this a? How do I know it when I'm on here?  



[00:08:42] Unknown:

I'm pretty sure the Herald Stainer actually will cut out. 5. So here we go if I can find this.   Yeah. I don't see it now.  

[00:08:55] Unknown:

Oh, family? Yeah. I was so just to finish,   the sister said her thing about how good of a guy he was, and it says, no one from the Redstone Township Police Department   has responded to numerous calls for comments. That sounds like something went wrong here. State police spokesman trooper Rocco   Gagliardi, I'm gonna assume he's Italian,   said it is common for officers who are involved in shootings   to be put on administrative leave.   He cannot say if Redstone Township had such a policy in place.   Calls for township supervisors who oversee the 4 person department were not returned. Fayette County coroner, doctor Bob Baker,   said he had no plans to conduct an inquest to look further into Hackney's death. This is all sounding   perfectly reasonable.  

As of late Thursday afternoon, the GoFundMe had raised nearly $1500 of its $26100   goal. The post said the family will use the money to assist out of state family with travel to the area, to help with the funeral, and other expenses.   To donate, please visit www.gofundme.com  

[00:09:59] Unknown:

backslashf  

[00:10:01] Unknown:

backslash   support   hyphen for hyphen the hyphen the hackneys   hyphen No one's ever finding that. Hyphen Chris. Yeah.   Well, yeah. So it sure does sound like They need to, give a better ring to that. It it sounds   like the cops went in and probably felt scared   and shot the guy, and then they're like, oh, we shouldn't have fucking come in here. Uh-huh. Because now he's shooting the guy. Administrative leave and nobody's talking. Yeah.   And they don't know what type   of policies the local   police department uses when they kill someone in their own home.  

[00:10:37] Unknown:

Well, I hope Zach Petrov gets to the bottom of this. So do I. And in all seriousness,  

[00:10:43] Unknown:

sorry for Christopher Hackney and sorry for his family. Definitely.  

[00:10:48] Unknown:

That's a very unfortunate occurrence. It's   it's it's   it's very fortunate that we were able to read this as our first story because it sheds a lot of light on,  

[00:11:00] Unknown:

at least our beliefs Right. The way we view. What I was just gonna say, same thing as you're getting at is   we're always gonna side with   the citizen or the individual,   unless it's completely egregious. But, yeah, I mean, it sounds like think the number one detail would be he was waving a gun at me. Right. And it sounds if that's not in this story, it doesn't sound like this guy did much to deserve to be shot by the police.   Right? Is that what you're Yeah.  

[00:11:32] Unknown:

Well,   let me go to, Sunday, February 2, 2025, which is tomorrow.   The paper's out already? Yeah. Imagine that. These people are good. Okay. So Zach Petrov from the Herald Spannard. This guy's on a roll. He is on a roll. ICE agents detained man outside of Fayette County Courthouse.  

[00:11:53] Unknown:

What kind of man?  

[00:11:55] Unknown:

US Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents detained a man as he headed into the Fayette County Courthouse on Wednesday.   We were not aware that they were coming, said dep deputy sheriff James Lee. They are federal. They don't have to tell us.   Marco Antonio Gomez, 28, was supposed to go before a judge to be admitted to a pretrial diversionary program for first time offenders for driving under the influence of alcohol.   According to court records   well, excuse me. I remember the comma. According to court records.   If this court gets sent to jail, Johnny scheduled for 1:30 PM and his online criminal docket lists his municipality of residence as Connellsville.  

They're eating the dogs in Connellsville.   Video from outside the courthouse shows 2 ICE agents get out of a black Ford SUV outside the courthouse and approach Gomez who who is with 2 other   it continued on page a 6, but I'm gonna pause and not go to a 6 and  

[00:12:51] Unknown:

Let's speculate here. Yeah. Let's speculate.   What do you think his nationality was? Marco Antonio Gomez. He was Italian. Probably Italian.   The thing you'll   find as soon as you start looking into crime,  

[00:13:04] Unknown:

it's usually the day goes. Especially if they're driving under an influence. Right.  

[00:13:09] Unknown:

And that's what they do.   I mean, there's no reason to trust an Italian. This guy left the Italian oven. He  

[00:13:17] Unknown:

did. At 12:45   PM. Belly full of spaghetti? Belly full of spaghetti and mugging noodle straws. It's   headed headed to the Fayette County Courthouse. And little did he know that Trump's   executive order dates all the way back to the early 1900.   Trump's crannies were there. They're they're currently kicking out old Italian immigrants.  

[00:13:41] Unknown:

As they should have a long time ago.  

[00:13:44] Unknown:

You know, I'd tear it to page 6, but  

[00:13:46] Unknown:

What else we got here? Let's find some interesting things. I mean, we could read cover to cover.  

[00:13:51] Unknown:

We're not going that far. Classifieds.  

[00:13:55] Unknown:

What are the classifieds?  

[00:13:57] Unknown:

Well, it's a way that the Herald Standard makes money.  

[00:14:06] Unknown:

Oh,   it's a crime brief. That's a good one.   Lewdness, Upper Tyrone Township.   John   Balik, 84, of Upper Tyrone Township is charged with indecent exposure,   open lewdness, and disorderly conduct for allegedly being naked from the waist down in his backyard,   which is,   in plain view of a day care center.   On January 17th, when officers,   when confronted by police, officers said Balek told him he had been having an ongoing dispute with the day care center   for an extended period of time. A preliminary hearing is a date   has not yet been set. Well,   that sounds pretty cut and dry. But  

[00:14:54] Unknown:

What's his on go dispute?   They wanna look at his dick. He was he was solving it by being naked from the waist down.  

[00:15:05] Unknown:

Fantastic.  

[00:15:07] Unknown:

No. That is bad.  

[00:15:09] Unknown:

But in keeping with our   libertarian viewpoint,   notice how many things they charge him with. I feel like it should be one charge.   Indecent exposure. Right? But what is open lewdness?   It doesn't sound like he was disorderly at all,   at least with the police.   Sound like he talked to him just fine.   Right?   That was his comment. He made a comment? No. It said he was,   he's been charged with indecent exposure.   Okay. Number 1. Number 2, open lewdness, and number 3, disorderly conduct   for allegedly being naked from the waist down.   But isn't what is disorderly conduct?  



[00:15:53] Unknown:

I'm I'm I'm guessing just if you say anything the police don't agree with. Yeah. I mean, it sounded like you   explained the situation to him. Yeah. It sounds pretty pretty reasonable. Hey.   I've got a dispute with this daycare,   and,   I'm allegedly out here naked from the waist down.   Well,  

[00:16:14] Unknown:

maybe they'll interview the kids. Who who wrote this article?  

[00:16:17] Unknown:

Is that the Associated Press,   or is that Zac Petrov? I don't know if it's Zac Petrov. It doesn't have a Oh, it's just a crime report. It's a crime brief. Oh, okay. Crime brief. Nice. Is that normal?  

[00:16:29] Unknown:

No. I would think that'd be an article. Oh, here's a good one. Well, you can go next because it's your turn. Okay. Hold on.  

[00:16:36] Unknown:

I was that was a good one.   That's hard to top.   Prison. Prison.   Which one's prison?   Okay. Front page.   I am scared.   Local Latin community shares concerns about the future by Zac Petrov. Zac Petrov again. I tell you.   One guy down at the Harold Standard pretty much propping up the whole operation. Who do you think he looks like?   Just like any other Fayette County resident. I bet he's miserable.   No. Come on, man. He's a superstar to Harold Standard. You think? This guy's crushing. Yes. He is. He is writing every  

[00:17:28] Unknown:

every article here.  

[00:17:30] Unknown:

Erica Reedman is an American citizen, but Uniontown woman now carries around identification papers out of fear that she may be detained.  

[00:17:37] Unknown:

Well, this sounds unreasonable right off the bat. That is pretty unreasonable.  

[00:17:43] Unknown:

I mean, if you're an American citizen, would you ever be worried about  

[00:17:47] Unknown:

being picked up? These are people who   have nothing better to do.   Like, their lives are meaningless. So now she's in the paper.   Just just  

[00:17:58] Unknown:

a Yeah. I mean, her her first comment basically   says, look,   I'm   I'm calling attention to this national problem from  

[00:18:08] Unknown:

Uniontown, PA. Right. What what is today, the first. Right? Today is the first. So tomorrow is the second.   My driver's license has been expired since March of 24.   I've yet to renew it. I really need to do this.   Also,   the the only other form of identification I have is my passport, which expires in   February 15,   2025.   I'm getting real close here to having zero identification. That's illegal. You have zero papers. Yeah.   So luckily, I cannot be detained by   federal agents   because they don't know who I am.   So what's her name? Erica, what?  

[00:18:48] Unknown:

Erica Reedman.  

[00:18:50] Unknown:

Reedman. Reedman, r I e d m a n n. Sounds like I can understand. Based on her name, she seems like a target under under ice.  

[00:18:58] Unknown:

Yeah. Definitely. I would be very concerned if my last name is Reedman.   Maybe she's Jewish.  

[00:19:05] Unknown:

Obviously, Jewish.  

[00:19:08] Unknown:

I don't feel unsafe in my community, but I am scared of what can happen with everything that's going on, Reedman said.  

[00:19:14] Unknown:

I feel like I have to carry my passport because it seems like anything could happen. Well, we should come back the last couple years and see if she were see if she was in any,   me too type articles   for fear of being raped.  

[00:19:29] Unknown:

No. She's probably involved in a 1 or 2.   1 or 1 or 2  

[00:19:36] Unknown:

court cases? Any courts? I hope she gets arrested.   Anyways, continue. Well Has anything happened to this woman? She just  

[00:19:45] Unknown:

No. She looks, she's pretty good.   Erica Reidman, right, directs a program for students to learn English as a second language at East End Community Center.   Anna Gonzales,   Anna Gonzales   left, is a student in Riemann's class and also volunteers at the center.   As of Friday afternoon, President Donald Trump has spent his 1st 2 weeks in office signing a record 36 executive orders.  

[00:20:10] Unknown:

Is that a record?   I don't think so. I feel like they signed more than that before.  

[00:20:19] Unknown:

I guess she could be married to a guy named Reedman.   That's true. I didn't I didn't consider that.  

[00:20:27] Unknown:

Go ahead. Well,   technically they have to get the husband's permission to take her. Right?   It's his property   after all.  

[00:20:36] Unknown:

Well, you probably have her committed for hysteria.  

[00:20:39] Unknown:

That's true. I wish you could still do that.   Goddamn.  

[00:20:44] Unknown:

Well, a   another another few executive orders, and you'll be able to. That's right.   Well, are we gonna continue with that article? Or Nah. That's it's pretty typical stuff these days. Now there's a long We're gonna see one in tomorrow's paper as well. Oh, wait. There it is. This is Tamara's paper. There's a long one here by Mike Jones.  

[00:21:05] Unknown:

I think there is. They're foster mom sentenced for sup foster mom sentenced for supplying alcohol to teen involved in crash.   So   that seemed pretty self explanatory.   Yeah. It's a dangerous game you play when you give What's she wanted to be like? She's a foster mom. Right. You gotta get on the good side. Exactly. And, I mean, she gets money from the government   to   just accept these poor kids. Right? Yeah. And then she probably gets SNAP or EBT or something to buy booze with.   So, this is the unintended consequence of the welfare state. Do you think it's some sort of  

[00:21:44] Unknown:

you think it's some sort of game she's playing where she   she gets the money? She she takes in these kids.   She gets the money from a government, and then she gets them busted with alcohol to take them off her hands so she can get more. It's actually  

[00:21:56] Unknown:

very good   very good point. Could be. I didn't really even read this yet. Well, it's very long, so I'm not gonna read the whole thing. But,  

[00:22:05] Unknown:

how long could it be?  

[00:22:09] Unknown:

Slow day. But if you wanna know this piece of shit's name, her name is Brianna Hilton,   and she was supposed to be a mentor for Jody Morris' teenage daughter.   So right there,   a mentor for Jodie Morris's daughter. Where's Jodie?   I don't know where Jodie is. But instead,   Brianna gave the 16 year old girl access to copious amounts of alcohol and the keys to her SUV.   Hilton had asked Morris' daughter to babysit her 3 foster boys. Oh, here we go.   So Hilton had asked Morris' daughter to babysit her 3 foster boys at her North,   Strabane   home. Is that how you pronounce that? North Strabane. North Strabane. North Strabane home on numerous occasions, but on December 16, 2021, the teen   and a 14 year old friend were given access to alcohol, which apparently happened regularly. So   December 16th, that's   Battle of the Bulge. Right?  



[00:23:10] Unknown:

They put me on the spot. I don't I believe that's correct.  

[00:23:14] Unknown:

So I could've just turned the History Channel on   and   watched stuff about Battle of the Bulge   and said they had a drink.   The teen later crashed a vehicle in Carroll Township,   had to be hospitalized, which Morris said will forever haunt me as a mother. Well, you sound like a bad mother.  

[00:23:33] Unknown:

She's a foster mother? No. No. No. She's the mother of the girl. It's hard to keep the details straight now.  

[00:23:39] Unknown:

So this mother is the mother of the girl who was babysitting   for the lady with the foster boys.   I mean, if you're that 16 year old girl's mom, how do you have a 0 idea that she's involved in a fucked up situation   where she's babysitting kids   and a 14 year old friend? I mean, 14, is that like, I wouldn't let a 14 year old babysit my kids. Hell no. That's crazy. In fact, I will let almost no one babysit my children at all. Oh, we know that. Yeah.   The teen's case was adjudicated through   juvenile court. She was punished for her role in the crash, but Morris has been upset that Hilton's charges   languished for years   before she pleaded guilty in July to one misdemeanor count for corruption and minors. So there you go.  

There's a lot more to this that we're not gonna read. But,   there's a lot to that article. Jeez. There's a lot to that article. I think Mike Jones is trying to edge in on Zac Petrov   by writing a bunch.  

[00:24:40] Unknown:

There must have been previous   stories about this. I'm guessing.   We're coming into this cold.  

[00:24:48] Unknown:

So, the very last paragraph   states that Hilton   was sentenced to serve 48 hours in the Washington County Jail followed by 6 months house arrest and 5 years on probation. So,   yeah, I mean, I guess she's on house arrest. She doesn't need babysitting, but they won't stop her from giving booze to Myers, will it?  

[00:25:08] Unknown:

No. I'd say that her house is probably the place to go now.  

[00:25:12] Unknown:

Well, people go see her. There's always   parental supervision. How far is   this lady from from us right now?  

[00:25:22] Unknown:

What was the town?   Or is this calls the township.   North Strabane? I don't know where that's at. North Strabane. I couldn't tell you where that's at. Yes. North Strabane.   Okay.   Let's see here.   Hold on.   Okay.   Mike Jones,   [email protected].   Bell Vernon man sentenced to lengthy prison term for road rage shooting in Ross Draver.   I don't know. I'll get I don't think this is a great story. A Fayette County man convicted of murdering a woman during a road rage shooting in Ross Draver Township on New Year's Day in 2022   was sentenced Wednesday to a lengthy prison term. How lengthy?  

80 years.   40 to 80 years in a state prison for the shooting death of Holly Vendela as she drove along Ross Draver Road.   Westmoreland County jury convicted Hairston of 3rd murder evidence tampering in various   page a 6. I don't know.  

[00:26:40] Unknown:

Did you say why he shot her?  

[00:26:43] Unknown:

Drug and firearm charges after deliberating for about 2 hours, November 7th, following a 4 day trial.   While mister Hairston will have to live the next 40, 80 years inside the walls of a prison, the sentence does not bring Holly Videla back to her loving family. That is that is true.   Let's see. Hairston and his friends had just left a New Year's Eve party and were driving to a local bar in Rostraver Township   trying to make it before it closed in the early hours of January 1, 2022 when he came behind Videla's slower vehicle on Rostraver Road.   He attempted to pass her vehicle, but investigators said Videla swerved   into Hairston's Lane causing him to become angry before pulling out a gun and firing 2 shots toward her car.  

Well, sounds like he was in the wrong there. Ross River police located Videla's body inside her vehicle on the side of the road near   Virginia Drive. Videla 59, a Ross River Township, was an employee at California University at the time of the killing.   So this man   needed to get to the bar.  

[00:27:45] Unknown:

Yeah. It's a straight up murder.   Fired  

[00:27:48] Unknown:

directly into the car next to him and  

[00:27:52] Unknown:

killed this lady. You gotta wonder what makes you   Have you ever mind somebody who's going slow, and then you try to pass them and they swerve it in your lane? I've never had someone swerve it in my lane. I've passed a lot of people. I mean, I've gotten better. I've I am a   I drive the speed limit now, honestly, and I never used to. I've passed people on double yellow constantly, so I was a very aggressive driver. Yeah.   But, no, I never had anyone There's no actual reason to get anywhere quickly. Correct. Because I would realize I would get so angry Yeah. And it would be, like, 5 minutes on my drive extra,  

[00:28:24] Unknown:

which means Yeah. What does it save you?  

[00:28:26] Unknown:

Not much.   And the whole point of me always trying to rush to get home was I felt bad for not being there for the kids.   But then I, you know,   if I'm honest with myself, I waste   way more time at home   not paying attention to my kids, doing dumb shit I shouldn't be doing anyways. So, yeah, it's it's made me look at myself and become a better person. So now I drive,   you know, how you're supposed to drive. Yeah. We have a Prius.  

[00:28:51] Unknown:

You kinda have to go the speed limit. The Prius rips. Keep it in school. And Bill Burr, you said a Prius?   Maybe. Bill Burr is a pussy. Hope he hears this.   So Hairston,   will spend the next 48 years in a state prison. So the state gets free labor, and  

[00:29:07] Unknown:

they just survive the sentence. And our taxes   go to good use. Yeah. We'll be keeping him alive for the next 48 years. Not that I'm a I'm not a proponent of the death penalty because I don't trust the government, but   on the other hand,   these cut and dry cases,   why not just   kill the fucking guy?  

[00:29:32] Unknown:

Doesn't always cut and dry cases. No. I understand what you're saying, cut cut and dry, but   do we really want the state carrying out violence against No.  

[00:29:43] Unknown:

So the other argument would be,   yeah, for murder,   you know, maybe child molestation, that type of stuff. Put those people in jail. The rest of them,   I don't really think jail is the answer.   Really.   Drug charges,   fraud, whatever.   Yeah.   There's a lot other there's a lot of other ways to ruin people's lives   that don't involve taxing people as much and spending as much money. Yeah. Well, you definitely shouldn't be putting  

[00:30:10] Unknown:

nonviolent criminals in jail. But  

[00:30:13] Unknown:

I mean, the thing people always bring up is it costs this much money to   keep someone in jail, but then you gotta add in all the money it costs to pay all the people who work at these places. Right? Yeah.   Yeah. It's a lot of money. I have no idea how much, but it's cheap.  

[00:30:29] Unknown:

Takes a lot of money to keep the machine rolling. Yep.  

[00:30:33] Unknown:

What else? I got no more good articles. There's an article about flowers blooming in Moscow,   which is ironic. Hold on a second. Here we go.  

[00:30:41] Unknown:

This is from the AP.   Rats. Scientists say warmer temperatures mean more rat babies.   Well,   what's happening? About actual rats.   Washington. Rat infestation in many world cities appearing appears to be soaring, especially in Washington, and new study blames climate change. Of course. Urbanization and other human actions. Do you think there's more rats in Washington?  

[00:31:07] Unknown:

Now than ever? No. I think, no. Washington's always been full of rats.   What are we talking with? DC or  

[00:31:14] Unknown:

Washington?   This is AP. So this is this is no longer Mike Jones or Zac Petrov.  

[00:31:19] Unknown:

No. I don't think that there are any more or less rats in   Washington.   The bigger problem is humans.   There's no reason for rats to be around unless humans are there fucking everything up. Right? Yeah. I mean Like, how many times have you seen rat infestations in the middle of   the Appalachian mountains? Well,  

[00:31:39] Unknown:

it's funny that you say that. We currently have a rat infestation in this chicken coop.   Well, that makes sense. The rats and chickens are now learn to live,   together in a sort of,   what do you call it? A symbiotic relationship where  

[00:31:56] Unknown:

Are they fucking?   Is that what you're saying?  

[00:32:00] Unknown:

No. I wouldn't go that far. The the rats are enjoying the chicken food   much more than the chickens are enjoying it. What do you do about this?   I was just shooting them with a pellet gun. Is that killer rat? Yeah.  

[00:32:14] Unknown:

Just go bigger.  

[00:32:18] Unknown:

7 MMO 8 or something. Oh, I mean, I'm only 15 feet away. Exactly. It's nighttime.  

[00:32:25] Unknown:

What do you do with the rats?  

[00:32:27] Unknown:

I let the chickens eat them. They heat them? Oh, yeah.  

[00:32:32] Unknown:

Be very wary of a man who keeps chickens.  

[00:32:34] Unknown:

Those chickens will eat anything.   First of its kind of examination of trends and reasons and hard to count rat populations used for rat sighting reports in 16 cities around the world.   11 of those cities rat complaints have increased.  

[00:32:48] Unknown:

So Well, they're on the lookout for rats. Let's let's examine the logic here. Hard to identify   or examine rat populations? Hard to count rat populations. Hard to count. This is rat sighting reports. They come right out and say it. Yeah. But they're also willing   to Say claim that it's because of climate change. Yeah. So we have a rat problem that's definitely because of climate change. However,   we can't really be sure we're counting the rats. Yeah. It's they're hard to they're hard to count. They're and they're using rat sightings, so people are on the lookout for rats more. There you go. Yeah. Yeah. So and now now the rat counts are up. This is like when, you tell someone to   pay attention if there's a ghost in their house. Of course,  

[00:33:31] Unknown:

7,000 people who didn't think there were ghosts in their house are now gonna think there's ghosts in their house. Right? Yep. I would say I would say counting is probably hard for anybody who claims that climate change drives up the rat population. I I would I would agree with that. So that article's bullshit. Yeah. We don't have to read anymore. There's plenty of it.   Anyway, weather tomorrow,   4739.   Cloudy throughout the day.  

[00:33:56] Unknown:

4739.   Yep.   Abnormally warm.   You know what's funny though is I did just see an article   in the Late Trobe paper about an increase in rats in town,   but the most people there think it's because they   conducted a big campaign to get rid of all the feral cats.  

[00:34:18] Unknown:

This is an actual argument?   This this is going on currently in the trash. This is not a joke. They're No. They're saying it's because the feral cat population is down. Yep. There's an increase in rats. Now the rats are are doing better.  

[00:34:31] Unknown:

So maybe that's why.  

[00:34:35] Unknown:

Maybe it's just getting Are the sanitation workers doing their job?  

[00:34:39] Unknown:

I highly doubt it.  

[00:34:40] Unknown:

I don't know. They're pretty fucking dependable.  

[00:34:43] Unknown:

Not in Latrobe. Really? I take issue with,  

[00:34:47] Unknown:

I think we're we're we're veering out of our, our area here. We're in Latrobe. That's Westmoreland County. Right? It is Westmoreland County. Okay. That's okay. Continue.  

[00:34:56] Unknown:

So sanitation is not the best right now. No. It was just the link to to the increase in rat population.   So I don't have to bitch about   the bullshit garbage rules in Latrobe here. It's okay.  

[00:35:08] Unknown:

Bullshit garbage rules? What are the rules?  

[00:35:11] Unknown:

You get one can.   Okay. That's not very big. And if you fill that up, any extra bag has to have a 25¢   sticker on it. Okay.   And I requested another can. They said no.   And then the can that the garbage goes in is blue,   and the recycling can that you get is black and orange.   So for the first,   6 months I lived there You're putting the recycling in the blue can. Yeah. Because why wouldn't you? Is it like a universal   recycling color? Yes. Yeah.  

[00:35:41] Unknown:

Yeah. Unless you're in South Union Township in Uniontown, then it's red.   Red.   Yeah. But still, you wouldn't think it'd be black and orange for recycling.  

[00:35:52] Unknown:

Correct.   So, anyways, that's,   it makes no sense. Laterobe is,   run by idiots.   There you go.   At least the garbage people. And the dump is only open till 1 PM.  

[00:36:06] Unknown:

Well, I think if they're only giving you one can, then there will be an increase in rat population because most people aren't gonna pay 25¢ for another fucking stick. With 25¢, that's   and a normal family is gonna create more trash. Are people already paying their garbage bill? Like, they pay You're paying a fee to get the garbage pick up, but then you're putting a limit on how much they'll pick up. Yes.  

[00:36:25] Unknown:

A pretty strict limit.   I mean,   you're not gonna get It's a big can, but still.   I mean, I would say   7 or 8,   13 gallon   kitchen trash bags filled up.   But for a family operating with multiple kids and all kinds of other shit going on Yeah. You make more trash than that. Receiving Amazon packages like Yes.   Like cardboard is not even a real thing anymore. So now my car porch is just full of garbage all the time. Well, you see any rats? No rats.   Hard to count.   They are hard to count. I tried to count them one time.   Didn't even no idea how many there were.  

I actually like rats.  

[00:37:11] Unknown:

Like, I don't I mean, of course, they they can be become a problem, but Well, it's a dirty city rats that carry disease. Yeah. A good country rat. A good country rat's nothing. Right? Yeah. A good country rat's good. Smart.  

[00:37:24] Unknown:

Yeah.  

[00:37:25] Unknown:

That's like possums are good. Yeah. You should see him avoiding the pellets. Boy, jump when that finger is off.   They're quick.  

[00:37:32] Unknown:

They are quick.   I mean, did they die quickly when you shoot them? Yeah. Yeah. They do.   Like, what kind of shot? Like, just body shot?   Yeah.   Lungs.   Well, I mean, I How big is a rat lung?  

[00:37:46] Unknown:

I don't know. Probably that big.   Are rats rats that big? I mean  

[00:37:52] Unknown:

does rat have a separate   shithole and a separate pistol?   Actually,  

[00:38:00] Unknown:

I'm gonna say they're mammals. I think they do. I'm gonna say they're mammals. They probably have all the correct holes. I'm like this.   Ungodly   birds.  

[00:38:08] Unknown:

Well, who am I to   assume? The holes they have?  

[00:38:16] Unknown:

You're on the stuff quick whenever you just read the Sunday paper.  

[00:38:20] Unknown:

What else have we got? I mean, I got nothing in this paper over here. No.  

[00:38:24] Unknown:

I've lost most of the pages. Here. I'll read it. Just give me something to read. You can go back. Read it. You can go back in a a couple days. Yeah. Why not? I mean, we gotta  

[00:38:32] Unknown:

cover more. Alright.  

[00:38:34] Unknown:

Let's go to alright. Here, let me go here. Sunday, January 26th. So we're going back to last Sunday.   Zach Petrov again.   Father accused of caging 6 year old daughter pleads guilty.  

[00:38:48] Unknown:

Oh, well,   that's awful. Yeah.  

[00:38:52] Unknown:

See, that's the kind of people they should just Okay. Well, hold on a minute. Maybe this guy has some redeeming qualities.   Jacob William Waite senior did not hesitate when president judge Stephen P Leskinen   asked him why he had his 6 year old daughter   hogtied naked in a case. Jesus.   Weight stated mainly because she was doing stuff she wasn't supposed to.   She'd get up, get in the fridge, and run through the house keeping people up,   Waite said matter of factly. Well,  

[00:39:25] Unknown:

see, this is   what breaks your heart,   unfortunately. Even as fucked up as I am, I can't even joke about this one.   Yeah. This guy should,   get much worse than whatever   he's getting currently.   That poor little kid.  

[00:39:41] Unknown:

Oh, can you imagine? On Friday, a 38 year old Brownsville man entered a general plea,   a 150 charges including aggravated assault. This article gets really bad.   Yeah.   Both Wade and the child's mother, Mimi Frost, 34, were arrested after police were called to the couple's home   in the 1300th block of Sheridan Avenue on January 7, 2024 because their 6 year old daughter was unresponsive.   That's fucking terrible.   Yep.  

[00:40:16] Unknown:

Yeah. What do you even say about that? I mean, no.  

[00:40:19] Unknown:

No. This is a type of cut and dry case these people just need to go to. Like,   they need to have their general stapled to the wall. Yeah. I mean, they should be  

[00:40:32] Unknown:

violently,   extensively, and for a long time, hurt.  

[00:40:35] Unknown:

Right? Yeah. I don't think there's any punishment   that will be   that could inflict enough damage on these people Right. To make justice be served. It should be like  

[00:40:45] Unknown:

Soviet   style break you down to nothing over a very long period of time.  

[00:40:52] Unknown:

Why doesn't why doesn't our government have a program that does that to criminals? I don't know.  

[00:40:58] Unknown:

Probably because they'd eventually abused it but,   yeah. I mean, to hurt a child is   it's so sad.   I mean, I get heartbroken now when I see something happen that, like, robs my children of some of their innocence, you know,   And thank God they've never dealt with anything   like that like this at all. But,   man, just a poor little kid.  

[00:41:21] Unknown:

I I mean, I don't know if this girl died. I I assume I assume she did. But  

[00:41:27] Unknown:

I mean, what's left what happens to this little girl even if she lives? Yeah. Her I mean, the rest of her life has got to be   it's going to be terrible.   Yes. This is what makes it difficult.   When you see the government wasting money on whatever they're wasting money on,   how does   how do you reconcile any of these things?  

[00:41:53] Unknown:

This this article just gets really bad. We're not gonna read any more of this. Yeah. 35 to 70 years in prison.   So he didn't even get as much as the other guy.  

[00:42:04] Unknown:

So,   yeah, explain that.   How does   this judicial system work here? A guy shoots a 59 year old woman which is obviously tragic and wrong, but,   yeah. I mean, you can abuse a child   completely helpless  

[00:42:21] Unknown:

and get 35 to 70 years? That's that doesn't make much sense. What do you think causes these 2 people to do this? I mean, it's him and his, I guess, wife? They both did it?   Yeah. This is   What are they doing at home that   this child causes that much of a problem?  

[00:42:46] Unknown:

I've never actually been mad at my children.   I've been irritated   and whatever it's out of   a desire to help them grow and be good people. Yeah. You're you're correcting them. My god. Never done anything.   I mean, I've done things that I felt bad about and been guilty of.   Nothing like violence, but Right.   Even, like, things I've said or reacted to things I thought they did, and I was wrong,   you know, and feel genuinely bad.   Yeah. I mean, that's just pure evil to hurt a child.   That's why I get so angry about what's going on in Palestine because,   yeah, it is a curious thing. I mean, all the bad things that ever happened and   the horror that follows never seems to   slow any of it down. Right?  

If if you knew nothing about this planet and walked up and someone told you the situation Yeah. At the very least, they'd say why don't you try something different? Right. You'd make it yeah. You'd make a decision on the spot to not do what they're doing. Yeah. Why don't you do something different? One side tries something different   and neither side will. But,   there's this one side in the Israel Palestine thing that obviously has the the power for real,   and they've never done the right thing.  

[00:44:05] Unknown:

So Yeah. They will continue to not do the right thing. Yep.  

[00:44:09] Unknown:

And that's a big issue with me for Trump too is, he'll continue to support   Israel,   seemingly. I guess there's a lot of time to find out but   that's what I I wonder. He's so correct about what's going on in Ukraine, although it doesn't seem like he's done much to stop that yet. Although, he did  

[00:44:28] Unknown:

stop funding. Correct? I can't say. For sure. I believe I did hear that.  

[00:44:32] Unknown:

He disbanded all   all 8 to foreign countries Yeah. 90 days? Yeah.  

[00:44:39] Unknown:

Except for Israel.  

[00:44:41] Unknown:

Is that true? I think so. Well, that's a huge bummer.   Yeah. I don't know why we continue to support Israel.   Because you have enough people who still believe it's it's a religious war   which is complete insanity to think that it has anything to do with religion.   It doesn't.   I mean, a small part of it does, but that's that's a separate issue. They're fighting because   Palestine's been occupied and oppressed for,   what, 60 years now? 80 years   coming up on? Yeah. 80 years. 70 5, 80 years. Yeah. And that's what it's about. It's a political it's a political issue. That's what blows my mind is the same people who love the American Revolution which I do. It was over a very slight oppression compared to what the Palestinians have endured. Right? And those same people will turn around   and who champion   the American Revolution and say what's going on with the Palestinians is perfectly fine because Israel has every right to do this. I don't know.  



[00:45:37] Unknown:

Why why   no. I don't follow this   very much but why does   Israel think it has the right to take this? It's just the the land?  

[00:45:46] Unknown:

Yeah. I mean, they claimed the land was promised to them,   right,   1000 of years ago. And then,   I mean, the Jews had a terrible time in Europe forever   and   eventually had enough of that   in particular after the Holocaust, so they decided to go back to their Holy Land   and establish themselves. But, unfortunately,   that was   not the right thing to do for everybody else in the world   and somehow they've gotten away with it.   That's where the real conspiracy theories start,   which are difficult to ignore,  

[00:46:19] Unknown:

but I don't know enough to talk about that. Yeah. I don't either. Do you think it's just because we wanna maintain some base over there? Israel's just sort of like a satellite of USA?  

[00:46:27] Unknown:

No. Yeah. I mean, it's an easy way for us to keep a heavy   military presence in the Middle East just like we do everywhere else. Yeah. But,   yeah. Well, what what could we possibly want in the Middle East? Oil? I guess oil, but we have more oil here than we could ever do anything with.   So   So there's something to it. Yeah. I mean, it seems pretty easy. It's the easiest place   to guarantee forever wars and guarantee these big   contracts to the   weapons   suppliers and and all that.   Easy way to get dumb fucking people to vote for you. So but this is one of the few issues where both sides in the federal government seem to come together and agree on. That's strange. Support Israel forever. Yeah. Libertarians  

[00:47:12] Unknown:

don't support this. Nope. No. Violence against another person? Not at all. Right. Look look into  

[00:47:18] Unknown:

libertarian thought, people. It's the best thing you could do. Or at least anti state.   Yeah.   That's maybe that's the way it should be explained is,   the most violence emanates directly from the state.   I mean,   who   who's killed more people and who's been responsible for more violence? Individuals or or the state? Right? Yeah. Governments.  

[00:47:40] Unknown:

Yeah. People people should really just wanna get along.   Yeah. I mean, if if left to their own   devices, people would just   people would probably just learn to trade with each other and you know, you'd have wars occasionally. I'm not gonna say that it's never gonna happen, but we're talking small wars. Right. You know, not not complete,   annihilation of of of other people.   Probably just, you know, little skirmishes here and there just to reestablish, like, either a border or trade, but you wouldn't wipe out establish, like, either a border   trade, but you wouldn't wipe out other people completely.  



[00:48:12] Unknown:

Yeah.   If there's an environment where things can be mutually beneficial,   then  

[00:48:18] Unknown:

a lot of times that's what happens. Yeah, you're not gonna go straight to war. You're gonna try to figure out something in between. Yeah.   So that you can continue making money off each other.  

[00:48:28] Unknown:

The state is the real enemy and the real source of evil. What else we got in the paper here? I got another one here. Well,   let's see.   It says,   Haitian migrants in Springfield, Ohio turn to their faith amid troubles.   I don't care.   Homan's gonna get rid of all them,   whether they like it or not.   Let's see what else we got here.   Drugs drug charges dropped   Against   who?   Let's see.   President judge. What does that mean?   President judge   dismisses case against suspended Greene attorney.   A judge has dismissed all charges against a suspended Greene County attorney   who's accused of being high on drugs and in possession of methamphetamine   and paraphernalia while picking up her son at the school bus stop in Waynesburg last year. Well, whose business is that?  

Greene County president judge Lou   Dahich dismissed the case Thursday against Kimberly   Ferminec   following a suppression hearing last month in which her attorney argued that her vehicle was wrongly searched by a county probation officer   rather than a Waynesburg police officer. Okay. So she got off on a technicality.   There you go.  

[00:49:57] Unknown:

Technicality. I mean, the what? Was the probation officer searched her car   instead of the   police officer? Correct.  

[00:50:06] Unknown:

Yeah. Well,   what's the law say? I'm gonna guess that's,   I mean, what what would that be? 4th Amendment?   Yeah.  

[00:50:18] Unknown:

Legal search and seizure? This this woman, she's just being a good mother, I think. I mean, she was tired. Sounds like she was tired. She was tired, but she needed to pick up her kid. So, what'd she do?  

[00:50:29] Unknown:

I mean I mean, she's an attorney. Keep saying she's an attorney. Right? Yeah. She's an attorney. She's just this this person's up all night. That's the thing about drugs is   it only gets real bad when you can't support your habit.  

[00:50:42] Unknown:

Yeah. Right? Yeah. I mean, I wouldn't say she's doing anything wrong. If you're holding your shit together well enough to be an attorney and you're doing drugs, well, you're probably doing alright. I mean, people people have Monster Energy drinks 30 times a day. Right. Why can't she pop a little methamphetamine and go down and pick her kid up? I'm seeing this article is Better than falling asleep at the wheel.  

[00:51:03] Unknown:

It said found suspected methamphetamine   and unused needles.   Yeah. I mean, the other half   probably isn't good to be doing methamphetamine   intravenously,   but,   I always try to separate if I'm making excuses for people or or not.   But,   I mean,   we could talk a long time about why the drug problem exists today, and it goes right back to the goddamn government.   We have all these restrictions, and,   you gotta turn to,   you know, the black market to get what you need. Yeah. I mean,  

[00:51:38] Unknown:

I hate to keep beating a dead horse. I mean, it does all just come back to the government. You could get good clean drugs, but those don't exist anymore.  

[00:51:45] Unknown:

Let's see if anything else in this article   sheds any light on Oh, she looks respectable.  

[00:51:49] Unknown:

Whether she's a piece of shit.  

[00:51:52] Unknown:

Is that her? Yeah. I think that's her. And she does not yeah. That is her. She does not look like an attorney.   Well, I mean   Well, who wrote this article? This is Mike Jones.   I'm guessing she didn't just say it tell him she was an attorney, and he believed it.  

[00:52:07] Unknown:

Oh, come on. Mike Jones gives everyone a fair shake. My god, this is long. Draft. Again,  

[00:52:13] Unknown:

let's see here.  

[00:52:15] Unknown:

That woman got her   law degree the same place Robert Pope got his doctor in.  

[00:52:22] Unknown:

So it says, Ferminac, 37 of Waynesburg, was briefly lodged in the Greene County Jail   on a probation   detainer and charged the next day with driving under the influence, possession of a controlled substance,   and 37 counts of possession, Jesus,   of drug paraphernalia.   So   has anyone looked into the child if the child's okay? Yeah. As your attorney, I advise you   to to just eat all this acid. I advise you to get this shit out of your car.   Jesus.   Yeah. Not a good attorney.  

[00:52:54] Unknown:

Don't hold that much. Maybe she was just holding it for clients.   Cool. How about a dear Annie?   Yeah.   Dear Abby. Dear Abby. We gotta insert John Price on here. My feet are too long. Is that the words? You know, we can do yeah. Hey. Did you know we can discuss we can play music as long as we're discussing.   Oh, shit. I think so. I think as long as you're framing it, there's a discussion on music. All freaks. We could do that.   Every side I get up on is a wrong side of bed. If it weren't so Thanks, Lisa. Alright. So, this is dear Annie.  

[00:53:28] Unknown:

This woman wrote in, dear Annie, I've learned something surprising over the years as a step parent.   Oh, here we go. Pat yourself on the fucking back, I assume.   Holidays don't have to be confined to specific dates. In our family, Christmas Eve is just as special as Christmas Day.   Oh, yeah.   It's when,   who was Jesus' mom?   Mary. Mary?   Yeah.   I'm sure she was dilated on Christmas Eve. Right?  

[00:53:58] Unknown:

That would make it a special day. Yeah.  

[00:54:01] Unknown:

Would make I mean, imagine a virgin with a baby in her.  

[00:54:04] Unknown:

It's almost like that story is a little made up. It is almost hard to believe.  

[00:54:09] Unknown:

That's what makes it so special.   So, anyways, she said, we've even repeated Thanksgiving on on the Friday after with leftovers and a fresh pie.   Well,   we've also started alternating years for who gets which holiday. Can you imagine this fucking lady if I just argue with her husband   about what day we do this? Yeah. This We don't eat till 4. That's right.   This We don't fuck with tradition. We'll give them till 4:15. If they're not here, we're fucking eating. This way, everyone gets meaningful quality time   without the rush or pressure.  



[00:54:45] Unknown:

Wow. This is long. Okay. It started as a way to Do you know how fucked up it is with all the driving around you have to do for holidays? Oh, I hate it. Like, do you know how much more special it would be if you just stayed home with your family? This is why I fight with my parents because I'm always like, hey, what is due Christmas here this year? And it's fucking Adele starts crying.  

[00:55:03] Unknown:

It's it's not nice due to her. I'm like, so I gotta drive my kids in and haul Yeah. Truckloads of shit in my fucking house. Make their day shitty so so Adele doesn't cry. And meanwhile, they'll tell me how much they love the kids. But then we come over, and all they're doing is there's they can't cook a meal without being   super stressed out, so they won't talk to the fucking kids. I hate it.   I hate Christmas.   Hate Thanksgiving. I hate them all.   I don't like any of these goddamn holidays. I love Hanukkah. Hanukkah is good. That's because it's 8 days long.   It started as a way to avoid making my stepchild feel torn between parents, but over time, it's grown into a system that benefits everyone including extended family. Oh my god. This lady sounds like a nightmare.  

For example, both my ex and my partner's ex   now stay at hotels   instead.   Well, it says this,   for example, both my ex and my partner's ex now stay at hotels   instead of with the kids,   which keeps the atmosphere neutral and focused on the children. Yeah. That sounds   so they don't stay with the kids,  

[00:56:08] Unknown:

but now they're focused on the children. Oh, man. So they're dropping the kids off, and then they get they stay at the hotel. So they don't make it about so they make it about the kids. So, like, listen, kids. Your your parents are gonna stay in the hotel. Yeah. They're split up, so they're gonna stay. Yeah. They'll be here during the day, but they're gonna leave and stay at the hotel.  

[00:56:25] Unknown:

I'd love to share this idea with others, but I'm also curious.   Do you think this approach could work for most blended families or are   there pitfalls? Who would write this in   and ask this lady?   What's her advice?   I was just gonna skip the rest of this fucking   fever dream and get to that.   She referred herself as blended families. So Annie Lane says back, blended families, your approach is thoughtful and compassionate. What a gift to your family. Being flexible   in celebrating holidays can ease the pressure on children and create meaningful memories for everyone. So this is stupid.   What's the next one? Dear Annie, I'm struggling with my role as a stepmother and could really use some guidance. My husband and I have been married for a little over a year. He has 2 children from his previous marriage, ages 8 12.  

They split their time between our house and their mothers, which means I get to see them often, but not every day. I wanna have a good relationship with them, but I'm finding it difficult to figure out my place.   I feel like I'm walking a tight rope between being too involved and not involved enough. I don't wanna overstep boundaries with their mom or make the kids feel like I'm trying to replace her, I also wanna contribute   positively to their lives and feel inclined as part of the family or feel included as part of the family.   You think that 12 year old sniffs her panties?  

Because I know I would.   Wouldn't you?   Yes.   Certainly would. The kids are polite.   Yeah. Real polite.   But I sent some hesitation and resistance to fully opening up to me. Well, of course.   Their their parents are divorced, and now you're here.   Sometimes I feel like no matter how hard I try, I'll always be an outsider in their eyes. It's tough not to take it personally.   Is there a single adult left   in the world?   I mean, how could you write   and ask   for advice on this? I don't know. It's almost like she's laying it out, like,   just so this makes sense. Yeah. These kids don't seem to think   I should be involved in their lives like I am. Yeah. Well, they're children and you're new.  

So on top of that, my husband and I have had a few disagreements about discipline. Well, he tends to let a lot of things slide. Yeah. It's because   they got divorced. He doesn't want his kids to hate him. Well, I believe setting clear boundaries and expectations, so she's the disciplinarian.   How do I bring up these concerns without causing tension in our marriage?   This is not gonna work out for her. No. I'm generally trying to approach this with love and patience. That's yeah. So in the meantime, you have a caveat like that,   typically not true. But I'm feeling overwhelmed and unsure   if I'm doing the right thing.  

Dear overwhelmed, keep doing what you're doing. Bad advice.   Building a strong relationship with your stepchildren takes time, patience, and consistency. Focus on   creating a safe, supportive environment. Let's see about the husband, how she yeah. He ruins his life.   When it comes to boundaries with their mother, keep communication respectful.   She doesn't mention husbands, so good for her.   Yeah.   That wasn't gonna be a coherent section of this podcast, but I I just can't get over how stupid these people are who write in and ask for   ask for help from me, Annie. It's probably Oh, Annie does look good,   to be honest with you.  



[00:59:43] Unknown:

Okay.   So   this section here, I got dear Heloise.   Heloise?   Yeah. Okay. This must be like a advice,   like a maybe like a helpful tip   segment.   Dear Heloise, please check your automobiles lights monthly.   Monthly?   Yeah. I ask another person to stand in front of and behind your vehicle to ensure all the lights and blinkers are functioning properly.   A while back, I was about to merge onto the highway. But as I advanced, I noticed a woman in the car to my left scowling at me.   I didn't understand why she gave me such a nasty look until I moved ahead. It was then that I noticed her front turn signal was on,   but she did not realize her rear turn signal wasn't working and she assumed that I was just being rude by preventing her access in the lane I was in. Please remember that on most cars when the blinker clicks faster than usual, it's because one of the lights is burned out. This might prevent a case of road rage.  

DG in California.  

[01:00:45] Unknown:

Well,   I mean, she could handle them like me and just be like, well, some   woman was a cunt today on the highway, and I hope she gets in Iraq. That's normally what I say. Well, she's writing it. You know, she's trying to provide a tip to,  

[01:00:59] Unknown:

you know, prevent this by checking your who does? Come on. No one does that. No one does that.   Traveling alone. Dear, Heloise, lately I've seen a few letters in your call about how to make traveling a bit more easy and comfortable. When I travel alone most of the time for my job and a woman alone on the road needs to be extra careful.   So here are a few of my own hits for women who want to spend careful of what?  

[01:01:24] Unknown:

What'd you say?  

[01:01:27] Unknown:

Bring a door stop with you. Wedge it under the door on the inside of the room.   You might also want to pack a door alarm in case anyone tries to enter your room without your permission.  

[01:01:39] Unknown:

Does that happen often? Imagine meeting a person like this? No. Imagine being married to a person like that or just involved with the Carry a whistle or a personal alarm. Personal alarm can usually be attached to your purse or detail bag. I don't know what a detail bag. You know what the worst part of a rape whistle is? What if it just   brings in a second rape pistol?   I think the rapists know what a rape pistol sounds like. Right?  

[01:02:07] Unknown:

Yeah. That's a very distinct sound, though.   Did you hear that?   Oh, boy.  

[01:02:15] Unknown:

It is hard to it is hard to run with an erection, though.  

[01:02:20] Unknown:

You know, they caught   recently in Morgantown, there was a, there was a attack on a woman,   who a gentleman pulled her not a gentleman. Not a gentleman.   Sorry.   A a fella. A perpetrator.   Pulled this lady into a car and, you know, began to assault her. And they found   in the article, they reported that he was seen on camera inside of a parking garage rubbing   lube onto his genitals in the in the in the camera footage.  

[01:02:53] Unknown:

That's more thoughtful than most rapists.  

[01:02:57] Unknown:

I mean, can you imagine?   You're you're   you're you're in a parking garage and you're you're pulling down your pants   and you're rubbing   lube on your genitals and   attacking a lady in her car. That's fucked up. Yeah.   I don't know. I mean, this is why, I guess I guess we can laugh about this because we're all women, but And this is why people should  

[01:03:21] Unknown:

carry firearms. I mean, that is the craziest thing is,   I mean, if you're a woman and you are fearful of this happening to you, you should   carry a firearm and know how to use it.   Not to sound like a redneck, but What prevents somebody from carrying a firearm?  

[01:03:39] Unknown:

You know, well, what I'm saying is why do most women not carry a firearm?   Like, why why would you not I don't know. A woman? It's basically the equalizer. Right? Yeah.  

[01:03:54] Unknown:

Even a 22.  

[01:03:56] Unknown:

I think if you shoot a rapist with a 22, the rape's gonna be over. Yeah. Anything empowers you. I mean, you you carry any firearm. It's gonna empower you. You're gonna feel better about being out in public.  

[01:04:06] Unknown:

So, yeah, the answer to what prevents you from carrying a firearm is   lack of knowledge of how to use a firearm or   liberalism, I guess,  

[01:04:15] Unknown:

scaring you into thinking firearms are bad.   So liberalism causes rape. Mhmm.   So You heard it here. So dear Heloise, Heloise should be giving the advice not to carry a door stop or a door alarm with you, but it should be carry  

[01:04:30] Unknown:

carry a handgun. Well, depending on the handgun, it could be a doorstop.  

[01:04:35] Unknown:

Right? Yeah. I don't think she advises you to,   carry a handgun anywhere in this article.   Nope.  

[01:04:45] Unknown:

Just a bunch of other bullshit. Yeah. So, well, hey, if you don't wanna be safe,  

[01:04:50] Unknown:

don't carry a hand. Well, hey, they're traveling for work, so maybe you can't take your   firearm.   Well, that's a good point. Now, why can't you take your firearm with you whenever you're working?   Like, okay, you're flying from Pittsburgh to Dallas   and you're a woman. Why can't you take your firearm? We can take a firearm. Right? You can check it. You can. Why, you know, why don't most people do that? Like, that should be probably encouraged, right? It should be, yes.  

[01:05:15] Unknown:

Yeah.  

[01:05:16] Unknown:

Like, they should make it easier for you to carry your firearm for work.  

[01:05:20] Unknown:

Well, this is the same thing. This is why   not making light of it. Like, if a woman who got raped, do you think she has some different thoughts on  

[01:05:29] Unknown:

firearms after she got raped? I would hope so. Otherwise, you'd be  

[01:05:33] Unknown:

you'd be nuts. Yeah. It's like,   that's just how history works. Right? Like,   what's the whole stupid saying that, like, irritates me? But it's like   hard times make   soft times soft time, whatever that bullshit is. Yeah. But it's kinda true. Like,   yeah,   everything's good, and then you start   country starts turning soft and doesn't do what it should, and then it gets attacked. And it's like, oh, we better get our shit together and have a powerful military again. Then it all, it's a big cycle.   So, yeah, you should always be ready to defend yourself  

[01:06:05] Unknown:

and prepared for it. Yeah. And I would say that   I mean, definitely a woman traveling for work should be allowed to take her firearm with her and be sure to be encouraged by her employer. I agree.  

[01:06:18] Unknown:

I do agree. What else we got here?   Here we go. Albanian archbishop   who revived church dies.   Archbishop, that's Catholic. Right?  

[01:06:32] Unknown:

Yeah. Wait. What what is he, Albanian?  

[01:06:34] Unknown:

Albanian. Yeah.   Where do Catholics go when they   die? Where's Alban?   Alban?   Yeah.   How are you an Albanian? Alban McIntyre? Oh, it must be Albania.  

[01:06:50] Unknown:

I'm sorry. Go ahead.  

[01:06:52] Unknown:

You didn't answer my question.   Repeat. Where do Catholics go when they die?   Purgatory. Most of them. I would hope so.  

[01:07:07] Unknown:

Where do Dagos go when they die?   They go to hell.   That's a good joke. Never heard that before. It's not I just made it up on that spot. Real good.  

[01:07:17] Unknown:

Albania's archbishop   Anastasios,   who revived the, country's Orthodox   church after the fall of the communist regime in 1990, has died, the church said on Saturday. He was 95.   Anastasios,   the archbishop   of   Tirana,   Duras, and all Albania   and head of the   Autocephalous   Orthodox Church of Albania Jesus   died in the intensive care unit   of   what are these words,  

[01:07:47] Unknown:

evangelismos   autocyphilis.   I can't even read this. Autocyphilis.  

[01:07:54] Unknown:

Evangelismos   Hospital in Athens due to   polyorgan deficiency, the church said.  

[01:08:04] Unknown:

The Catholic church doesn't even believe in medicine, does it? Of course they believe in medicine.  

[01:08:09] Unknown:

They believe in money, so meaning they believe in medicine. I guess that's true. They probably own some churches or some hospitals.   He'd been hospitalized in Tirana on December 30th with a viral infection   but was transferred to Athens after his condition deteriorated.   He'd undertaken surgery on January 10th to deal with gastrointestinal   bleeding,   and the situation had been critical since, the hospital said. Albanian president   Basram   Begaz, I'm sure I didn't say that right,  

[01:08:38] Unknown:

said that Albania has lost its spiritual leader and distinguished person. Why is this in the Herald Standard? I don't know. That's a good question.   That is a hell of an article for it to be in a local paper.  

[01:08:49] Unknown:

Who wrote that one? Doesn't say. Mike Jones.   Doesn't say.   Then there was a in memoriam   in in loving memory of our friend Shirley Thurby,   who passed away January 28, 2018.   Heavy are our hearts today. Memory brings you back once more   to the time when you were with us,   to the happy days of yore.   Well, hopefully, that was a,   a sweet woman with a sweet family.  

[01:09:19] Unknown:

Going through obituaries.  

[01:09:21] Unknown:

That was just an in memoriam. I put it at the bottom there.   What else we got here?   It's the first page again.  

[01:09:31] Unknown:

I got I got one for you.   Today in history.   There's a photo here. Today in History, 4 Russian scientists watched   doctor Jonas Salk   discover the anti polio vaccine bearing his name, inoculate an unidentified   youngster in Pittsburgh on January 30, 1956.   Beginning the end.   So this doctor, doctor Jonas Salk,   this guy invents the polio vaccine in 19 hell now. He's probably in hell. He invents the polio vaccine in 1953?   19 no. 1955   by,   I guess,   making sure that it's dead by using formaldehyde to kill   Oh, really? Yeah. The live virus.   And then he injects it, and it boosts your immune system.  



[01:10:29] Unknown:

So they approve of this. But didn't they make fun of Trump for saying why don't we figure out a way to breathe   bleach   to kill coronavirus?  

[01:10:37] Unknown:

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. He was definitely made fun of because he had made a comment that bleach kills coronavirus, and people said that he should ingest bleach to kill coronavirus. If you watch that again, he was obviously joking. Yes.   And I thought it was funny. Well, I don't think people get his his humor. No. They don't. Just like they say his intentions again. I can tell you one thing. They do not think Trump is funny. Well, he's hilarious. He is hilarious.   So they had so what what happens in this this situation is this guy   now I know a little bit about this. I've been reading this.  

Alright. Okay.   So they talk about in doctor Mary's monkey about how Jonas Salk invents this vaccine,   and, they're positive it's gonna work. So they started an inoculation program with youth.   And instantly,   what do you think happens?  

[01:11:29] Unknown:

I don't know.  

[01:11:33] Unknown:

At least 12 children die. Oh, well And 100 are paralyzed   before they put a stop to this.   I've never heard this.   Yes.   So,   then   they go back and they,   so there there is a very   prominent scientist in New Orleans named   I think his name is Alton Ochsner.   Okay. And he's like the leading   cancer research doctor in   New Orleans. He's a   world famous   physician and I think he's a   surgeon as well. And   he   to prove that this vaccine is safe and effective, he inoculates his grandchildren on stage in front of a group of people.   His grandson dies immediately,   and the his granddaughter   is paralyzed for the rest of her life.  

So this is your government telling you that   we found a cure for polio, and we we totally believe in this, and it's going to it's gonna eradicate. There you go. And that is instantly what happens. So they to their credit, they stopped,   they stopped this inoculation program and they went back and they found another guy   who   who didn't try to kill the the virus, but I guess that what they do was they   they they basically knock it down so that it's left less,   virulent and they inject it in people. And then that is what they use up until 1963.  

[01:13:12] Unknown:

So the polio vaccine I mean, Jonas Salk was always hailed as the   but that's not true then. Well,  

[01:13:19] Unknown:

I I'm I'm thinking that they're probably blaming it on the manufacturing of the vaccine more than him because I think they they're   vaccine more than him   because I think they they   they still use that that method   but,   eventually, they found they found a way to not have it kill people and paralyze children Man. For the entire generation.  

[01:13:41] Unknown:

Do you think these doctors ever feel bad, these researchers ever feel bad when   they do these things?  

[01:13:47] Unknown:

I mean, you have to, right?   Or are you just You're operating on a level where you just don't feel like you think you're doing something good for humanity? Yeah.  

[01:13:57] Unknown:

Like, they view. I mean, is it something like if I break a piece of equipment at work, I don't feel bad about it? That's just how they look at these people?   Or is it Billy out of these fuckers? I'm guessing I'm guessing you if you're,  

[01:14:10] Unknown:

you're,   like,   you know, you're a surgeon, you're probably operating on a different level than most humans. You know, you probably don't have much care. I mean, once you've seen so many people die and everything, maybe you just don't   feel the same way. But, I would think these people spend the rest of their lives in hell thinking about this.   I mean, how could you live with yourself? Yeah, I don't know. I mean, just one child. Can you imagine injecting a child with something and then them dying? Especially immediately Yeah. On stage? Yeah, well, I don't know if they died immediately. It was like the next day. Yeah. Yeah. This was something that could not be hidden.  

[01:14:42] Unknown:

I'm gonna have to read that book.   Yes. This is what we should be talking about.  

[01:14:49] Unknown:

Well, we are, but the Herald Standard, it'll it's like,   leads to all   facets of,   history, the world. I mean, we went from, what's his name, Waite  

[01:15:00] Unknown:

to talking about Gaza and Palestine. Do you think we could turn Zac Petrov into an ally?  

[01:15:05] Unknown:

Oh, Zac Petrov. He's probably a hell of a guy. Probably hang out with him and have beers.  

[01:15:10] Unknown:

Maybe he'll come on the podcast.  

[01:15:12] Unknown:

I would like him for contact   us. 724-562-3523.  

[01:15:17] Unknown:

There it is, Zach.   With an h.   Or, this is kind of Zach highlight. Good morning, [email protected].   That's a good   one.   You look tired.   Actually don't feel tired. Oh. I do have to go soon, though. Oh, I understand. Let's go to the trampoline park tomorrow   and probably fight with my wife.  

[01:15:41] Unknown:

You should take a bunch of mushrooms.  

[01:15:43] Unknown:

Should do that.   Maybe we'll get some cheeseburgers out of this deal though.   I had kielbasi tonight.   I never touched this stuff. It's got pork in it. I know.   Used to that. Right? I did. I used to eat a lot of pork. I mean, kibasi is good. Kibasi is good. Nothing wrong. I was finding it a little too salty. I sort of like the turkey stuff,  

[01:16:03] Unknown:

but, I mean, that's I like the salt.  

[01:16:06] Unknown:

Yeah.   I mean, it's It used to ruin it for me because that's all I could taste for hours is all that salt. It's commitment. I mean, it's a   that's why I eat it with just   yellow mustard.   Get that heavy salt taste, that vinegar. I mean, it's it's a salty, which is what I like. I like   all mustards,   most mustards, put it that way, like horseradish mustard, brown mustard, whatever. But kibassa, you go straight to the yellow. Yeah.  

[01:16:34] Unknown:

Yeah. I don't know. There are some things that people go strictly yellow for.  

[01:16:39] Unknown:

I like yellow mustard on ham sandwiches.   Yeah. I would say I probably use yellow mustard. I just like that vinegar, man. Okay. That's the most vinegar you're gonna get out of a mustard. You think? I think so. You don't think Heinz Brown mustard has more vinegar than yellow mustard? I believe the brown mustard probably has way more. I don't think it does. It tastes like vinegar when you eat it. Yeah. See, I think the yellow mustard tastes like vinegar.   Maybe I don't know what vinegar is like. To disagree.   That's like the first time I made pickled eggs. I didn't know   you put water in it. Oh, it's straight vinegar. I put straight vinegar. Oh, man. That's the best best egg ever. Then I ate them too because I didn't wanna waste them. Dude. They were That sounds amazing. It was not, dude. It wasn't good. It melted the egg whites. No shit. They were mushy, like, very mushy.  



[01:17:29] Unknown:

I've made beets for straight vinegar.  

[01:17:32] Unknown:

Yeah. I remember you telling me about that. And they're amazing.   Yeah. I remember you telling me.   I like beets.   People should eat more beets, man. Oh, I know. I'll give a plug right now. A yield in crinkle cut beets.  

[01:17:45] Unknown:

I got bad news for you, Phil. What?   They don't have crinkle cut beets anymore. What the fuck do they have? They just got some janky ass no vinegar tasting beet. Well, I retract my statement.  

[01:17:57] Unknown:

Go to Speedy Meaty's instead. The old ends menu is very small. Does Speedy Meaty still make the Speedy Meaty? They do. They sell the homemade pickles. They do. Man, that's good sandwich. That is. That's plugged. I I should get one. You should get one? I would have one in maybe. You   They're making them sandwiches. That's a good sandwich.  

[01:18:15] Unknown:

They said they got a few in the fridge.  

[01:18:18] Unknown:

I like it hot.  

[01:18:20] Unknown:

Heated. I'm sorry.   I'll tell you what's a good gas station, the sweet peas right up here on Colesville Street.  

[01:18:26] Unknown:

I meant to mention that.   What did the kid move to Sheetz that move in right next door?  

[01:18:32] Unknown:

Oh, you mean By the way, no. I'm talking about the Sweet Peaves right up here. That's right. But, yeah, Speedway had the up there, and Sheetz moved in right that's their remote. That's what they do. Yeah. Of course, Speedway does it to Sheetz.  

[01:18:43] Unknown:

I guess that's true. That that's probably funny. They should make a movie about that. Yeah. Southwestern PA gas station war. Yeah.   But Sweet Peas, that's why I destroyed that woman's   gas   gas door. What do you call it?  

[01:18:59] Unknown:

Let's see. It's called the gas door.   What do you call that? The gas door. Yeah. The gas tank door? Yeah. I think so. Yeah.  

[01:19:07] Unknown:

Yeah. This was, What the hell what what could the name of that be other than gas door? I mean, people say your gas caps off, but that's not Yeah. That's not what we're talking about here. The caps under the goddamn door. But, yeah, I was pumping gas there one day, and this lady was there, and   she couldn't   get the little door open. And I was like   I remember this. You know, I was kinda looking at it. She went to me. She's like, I can't get this open. Will you help me? And I'm like Pried it open. Well, I thought like this dumb bitch. So I went over, and I couldn't get it open. It's the one you gotta push on. Well, I'm like, what the fuck? So I'm like, well, hey. Listen. I'll get this door open for you, but I can't promise this fucking be broken. Yeah. So I took a screwdriver and just pried the fucking thing open. It's one of the ones you push in. Right? Well, it wasn't a push in. It was there's a button inside, but that was I didn't know that existed.   And to be honest with you, it wasn't for many years later that I realized   that was a thing. It was, like, 5, 6 years later that you had to push a button in side the car. Holy shit. Which is stupid. What was wrong with the way it was with the spring?  



[01:20:11] Unknown:

Nothing. What was wrong with that? There was nothing wrong with that. Just more bullshit. It was. I don't understand. Well, why would you need to why why don't you the instant  

[01:20:21] Unknown:

gratification, just opening that door, like, that's what you want. You want to just Yeah. Manually open that door. Why they would put a button in there? We had to pull Which is just gonna break? Yeah. It's gonna It's not a failure point. So yeah. But I did, but long, the other part of that story is it was not her car. It was, like, her daughter's car or something.  

[01:20:38] Unknown:

So   I was,   I had a Honda Fit, and I was   it had the car where you had to push in. It's a bear killer. Right? Yeah. No. The bear did not die. The bear ran off.   But you push in, it'll pop out, you know, which is sort of the same thing as a button on the inside. Yeah. I mean, I'm   I guess so. I mean, at least it's still some type of purely mechanical. Yeah. But still push in to pull out? Come on. I mean, I might just take that fucking door off. We're talking efficiency here. Yeah. You know, you wanna just pull and have it open. Mhmm. So I I was close to prying it open when I finally realized you had to push on it because I didn't know that that kind existed.

Such simple creatures.  

[01:21:30] Unknown:

Yeah. I mean,   possibly it'd be so goddamn difficult.   I think about that all the time. What's some other things I've had trouble with?   Bras.   Broth? Bras. Bro oh, yeah. Still can't do that. Even Sarah makes fun of me. No.   I can get one off now. I gotta look the yeah. Depriving yourself of some of the best things in life, buddy.   I might as well tell the story then.   I was never good at taking bras off. Still, I'm not.   And, I mean, my now wife first got together,   you know, got down however many times. And, finally, one day, when we were comfortable enough with each other, she's like, why don't you take my bra off? And I didn't wanna admit that I couldn't do it, so I just said I'm not that much into tits.   Left it at that. And it wasn't for many years later that I told her the truth.  

That's a good story.   Yep.   True story.   But the truth is, actually, I don't really care about tits at all. Big or little, whatever. Don't care.

I was thinking about the other day. I was trying to figure out   I was trying to remember the joke I told you we were talking about, how somebody pronounces,   Nietzsche.   Oh,   Nyache.   Nyachezny? Nyachezny. Somebody said Nyachezny. That's what I said.   And I said,  

[01:23:15] Unknown:

[01:23:20] Unknown:

I was trying to remember that. I was like, what the what are we talking about? Like and I I remembered, like, what I said, but I couldn't remember why I said it. Yeah. Kenny Nechesne. Is there a Sarah? Nechesne.   That's who's pronouncing it. She can't speak she can't she couldn't, pronounce   Nietzsche.  

[01:23:36] Unknown:

Well, no. She thought it was Nechesne. Nechesne. Okay. Yeah. Nechesne. And everyone else is saying it wrong. Maybe she's right. I would hate to find that.   It's not Nechesne, is it? I've never heard that in my goddamn life. Not Nechesne.   Or if it was, maybe that's why I didn't believe in God.  

[01:23:51] Unknown:

Nechesne. Goddamn parents called me Nechesne.  

[01:23:56] Unknown:

What's his first name?  

[01:23:59] Unknown:

He did believe in God, by the way. That's he was completely  

[01:24:03] Unknown:

misquoted and taken out of context. What's his what's Neecee's first name?   It's not Kenny.  

[01:24:14] Unknown:

Oh, what is Nietzsche's first name? I don't know. It's not important. Everybody knows him as Nietzsche. Yeah.  

[01:24:19] Unknown:

He had a hell of a mustache.   Yeah. Did you ever eat any Nietzsche? I did. I mean, back when I was  

[01:24:26] Unknown:

studying that for I remember a little bit.  

[01:24:30] Unknown:

That's that's heavy, man. Once I became a libertarian, I was just that was it. Yeah. You gave up on all philosophy. Yeah.   The rest of it's just fucking stupid.   Right?   Yeah. I mean, you know, ours, libertarian I mean, the thing is, anyone who claims to be a philosopher today, I instantly hate that person. Yeah. What the who the who the hell is a philosopher today? I mean, people make these claims,   and I just don't like them.  

[01:24:55] Unknown:

What about Sam Harris? I think he's a philosopher. Sam Harris is a cunt. Sam Harris is probably the worst person ever.  

[01:25:01] Unknown:

Sam Harris is a bitch.   I always get him and Sam Rockwell. I like Sam Rockwell. Sam Rockwell is the actor? Yeah. Yeah. He's good. He's a good actor. Sam Harris. So, Sam, do you wanna come on the podcast?   Give us a shout.   What if he texts you? I'm little bitch.  

[01:25:21] Unknown:

Oh, that's a good story.   Listen to this. So,   let me go let me back up. When I was in high school, there was this there was this guy, and, he's he's a local kid, and he's a good guy. But at the time, he was just a big muscle head in high school, and I'm not gonna say his name. But What's his last   name?   You can't trick me.   That's right. Geez cannot be tricking. I'm not gonna say his first name because he's the only one around here. The geez do the tricking.   I'll do the tricking around here. So he's, so this guy's like he's a real big muscle head. Right? You can tell he was taking steroids. Like, his neck his neck basically swell up. He had no neck. He just had a head. You know? So his shoulders and straight to his head. It's King Bird. No. Is it King Bird similar? Okay.   Which I've always thought of this kid when I saw King Bird. But so shoulders go straight up to his head, you know. So everybody's the,   you know, and everybody knew he's on steroids. Well, one day, I guess, my buddy Jason was making fun of this kid and he was sitting right next to him in chemistry class.  

He's saying the kid, he's just sitting there like, you know, he's just tap   on the desk all the time. I don't know what it was. Just sitting there like this. Tapping on the desk. And as Jason was making fun of him, not having a neck. And, you know,   he overheard him and Jason's telling us the story early. He's like he's like, I felt so bad. He's like, he just he just turned around. He looked. He said,   I got a I got a neck.   So   so fast forward,   last week, we're standing around toolbox out in the suite, Gary's suite,   and   it's it's myself and,   which you don't you don't know. And   and a couple of scaffolders,   and we're all sitting around bitching and we're talking about our boss.  

Well, Ed and I are talking about our boss, and we're talking about he's he's inept. He can't do the simplest things, but he claims to be this great engineer. You know, he went to Rutgers,   all this stuff.   So,   he's it's   basically ranting about how this guy can't even change a tire, you know, because there's there's a story one time where   he called into the plant on like a it was like a cold day, and he had was up he he was on the turnpike   up north on the way to work and   he got a flat tire and he's on the side of the road. We called   at the plant to come   No. To rescue him because he couldn't get the tire off.  

Okay?   So he calls him mechanics and and he's he wants he wants them to come up and   and get the tire off for him, you know? So   as they're driving up there, I guess makes a call and he says, I bet. He says, I bet he has   the car up off the ground. He can't get those lug nuts off because the tire's spinning. He's like, there's no way.   There's no way that   this guy that he that he's got the car up and he can't figure out to get the lug nuts off. You gotta lose them before you raise the car in here.   The way the story goes is he pulls up and sure enough, he's got he's standing outside the car like Standing outside the car. Standing outside the car, up on a jack,   gets out.  

They, you know, they lower the car down and take the lug nuts off.   Mechanical engineer. Yeah.   They asked him, why aren't you in the car?   Like, it's freezing out. And he says, well, it's up on the jack.   That's fantastic.   So so last week   telling the story of the Scaffolders   about how he can't even change the tire, you know? And,   he's lurking around right around the corner, like, where the the swagelux is. You know? Right around from the So you heard it. Oh, yeah. He's lurking. Right? So he walks to the door and he goes,   fucking change your tire. And I he sleeped out of this guy from high school.  

Oh, that's great.  

[01:29:33] Unknown:

Imagine being that guy from high school taking steroids, look all buff. Just every time you look in the mirror now all jacked and ripped, you just look at your neck. You think of that one kid back in high school saying you you got no neck? Yeah. Yeah.  

[01:29:47] Unknown:

Those are the people who He was a nice enough kid, though. He just you know, he he He didn't have a neck.   Yeah. Well, you gotta be nice when you don't have a neck.  

[01:29:56] Unknown:

Yeah. You're at a disadvantage.   Well, Johnny,   I'm gonna have to wrap it up here. Alright, buddy.  

[01:30:03] Unknown:

It's a good time.
