Welcome to Beach Too Sandy Water Too Wet. A podcast featuring real reviews written by people who just need the world to know what they think. Between you and me, I wanted to like this podcast. But I'd give it zero stars if I could. Hello and welcome to Beach Too Sandy, Water Too Wet. This is a podcast where two siblings read the weirdest things, reviews of things that they can find of one stars. Sometimes just like the...
Starting point is 00:01:08 I was gonna say sometimes even the most normal reviews and then I was like, actually no, we don't really read normal reviews. So I don't know why I would say that. And then I couldn't find a way back out of that sentence. Yeah, thanks for joining us everybody. We don't have much to announce except things are definitely popping on page, popping off on Patreon. Oh yeah.
Starting point is 00:01:30 I have one thing to announce. Oh. My therapist dumped me today. I know I'm so sorry I didn't know that was too fresh. If I'm in a place y'all. Alexander's going through it. And guess what? It's not getting better because I don't have a therapist to talk to. I already had to tell my don't have a therapist to talk to. I already had to tell my therapist I have a lot to work on, because my brother's therapist is gone now. So it's going to be almost like double the burden on me. Half our listeners are doing the same to their therapist.
Starting point is 00:01:56 They're like, oh, no. Actually, it's kind of a pyramid scheme. So it's like Alexander's at the top because he's not paying therapy bills anymore, which is awesome for him. And then it's me. I'm paying mine But like you guys are all contributing. So thank you for that. You're you're the foundation of this whole industry Yeah, we appreciate you now go back to work But keep listening to us but this has to play in the background
Starting point is 00:02:19 Yeah, you have to because we need that we have to listen to. That's part of the laws. Speaking of giving us money, yes, patrons have been wild and out about our naughty material. Our naughty? Material. Nonsense. Naughty nonsense. Yeah, and yes, we are siblings and when we say naughty, we mean it as N-O-D-D-Y, not naughty materials or anything else that would come in a different spelling. It's naughty though, because
Starting point is 00:02:47 naughty himself is pretty naughty. It is naughty. And he's always trying to, we're always trying to get to the bottom of like, does he want a six pence? Is that a type of money? Is that one coin? Well, this is my kind of thing that I'm going through.
Starting point is 00:03:00 But everyone else is trying to figure out like, was the tail a hair extension or like a clip on tail for this cat? Because it fell off and the monkey wore it as a scarf like is that real fur or is that considered? Yeah, we still haven't figured this one out. Yeah, so there's a lot of fan theories going around So if you want to be part of that, you can join us on patreon.com bgcnd Yeah, and why wouldn't you want to be part of that?
Starting point is 00:03:22 Even better question. Uh, also, uh also remember those billionaires we talked about last oh Okay, I'm so embarrassed. Yes. Everyone is like you y'all have read that they're like, how do you not remember? I don't like I promise you everyone weirdly was glad But no that was bizarre to me because it was a brand new review in my head I usually when we because we don't read that much smut on the pot. Like we don't discuss that that often. Yeah, that is not that common. That must mean we really repressed it. That was such a standout moment that we put it like way way in a different category. Yeah. Wow. So we apparently had discussed that. And by the way, folks, if we ever forget to mention
Starting point is 00:04:03 something, I just want wanna put this out there, cause sometimes I think about it, and I'm like, I hope people know this. If we don't say, because we forget, like, oh, the thing about the Shamrocks, we already talked about, if we don't like reference that, but there are comments about it, please rest assured we did notice it
Starting point is 00:04:21 and probably did a facepalm about it. You know what I mean? Like, so don't feel like, oh, if we don't mention it on air, we never noticed or saw it. We probably did, because we're pretty, we're pretty thorough about like, this one just felt especially egregious,
Starting point is 00:04:35 given the content. For example, I wasn't gonna mention this, now I will. It's pronounced Hoth, not how. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, I was gonna, I saw that, true. See, so stuff like that, I promise we I I saw that true. It was interesting stuff like that I promise we do see it and we do feel deep shame We are learning until we forget it all again. Yeah, it again like the billionaires, you know, we do it again Keep bothering us, but that's right and like we'll see it. So, uh, so thank you for your your kind
Starting point is 00:05:01 Redirection Okay, no, but yes. Yes. This is weirdly relevant to our voicemail today. Okay, nevermind. Yes, yes. This is weirdly relevant to our voicemail today. Oh, okay. Can't wait. Just slightly. Today though, we are reading reviews, believe it or not, of multivitamins.
Starting point is 00:05:16 Is that correct? That's correct. And what was your challenge? So my challenge was to find reviews where folks mentioned buying a duplicate stuffed animal for their child. Amazing. For emergency reasons. Got it. Okay, so yeah, so in case something happens or it gets lost they have a backup to give to the child? That's right. Yes, yes. So yeah, would you like me to go first? Sure. Okay, this is from Matt and Jen.
Starting point is 00:05:42 Yeah, would you like me to go first? Sure. Okay, this is from Matt and Jen. Uh... One Star by Anna. And this is of the One a Day Women's 50 Plus Multivitamin Tablets for Women. Verified purchase. I cannot swallow capsules or tablets, etc. My mistake for ordering this product.
Starting point is 00:06:02 End of review. Yes, it was who are you telling it literally says multivitamin tablets i cannot swallow tablets at least they admit it's their fault but i know i even put it out there i don't know i i do get it though it took me till i was like 25 to be able to swallow a Tylenol. Oh, yeah. But you didn't buy Tylenol and then be like, oh, shoot. Oh, shoot. I meant to buy the bubble gum liquid flavor. There's a once-to-review to tell you about how I messed up. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:06:36 So that was just like a softball. I just wanted to start off with something a little silly. OK, yeah, just a Matt and Jen softball. Yep, classic. Classic. Mine, first one is from Megan, she her, of VitaFusion Women's Multivitamin Gummies. Not tablets.
Starting point is 00:06:54 A-ha, see? Berry flavored daily vitamins, blah, blah, blah. I do see the confu- I can see the mix up. Yeah. Here's a one star review. Weak product. I would not recommend this brand.
Starting point is 00:07:06 Have you ever taken other vitamins that make your pee neon? Well, this one doesn't. That tells me these are not strong enough or probably don't have the amount needed. Very low dosage, end of review. My favorite vitamins have yellow 40, yellow 50, red 40, blue 60. Like, what are you talking about? No, they, my pee is neon. I 40, blue 60. Like what are you talking about?
Starting point is 00:07:25 No, they, my pee is neon. I understand, I know it does. Your pee is neon? Yeah, from my daily vegan multivitamins. Do I not take enough fucking vitamins? No, it's not that, I'm pretty sure it's B12. Yeah, and when I looked it up, it was specific to B12.
Starting point is 00:07:42 Because your kidneys are filtering out the extra. Yeah, it's just like extra. I took a biology class in college. Just because your P-neon means that you're getting too much of something. Right, right, right. Not like too much in a bad way, just like I don't know, just say that the only multivitamins at work are one that make it P-neon. God, if you were a doctor you'd be able to see one patient a day because you'd be like, well,
Starting point is 00:08:04 you'd like over explain every and then say the counter of it. And then, yeah. Yeah. I have another one here. This is from Matt and Jen. I said the last one was for the one a day tablets. I don't know. This one might also be. I didn't put the picture for the first one.
Starting point is 00:08:21 So I think it was for this. You'd be a terrible doctor because you'd be like I think this is all off. But you know the best part? Together you and I would make a dream team. True. Like the best medical practice. With your wits and my wiles. Okay oh I was like we're talking about two negative things about us. We are talking about two negative traits. But combined they would make a powerhouse. I don't know if that's how those work.
Starting point is 00:08:48 I don't think these two negatives make a positive, but... I don't know. It feels like it could. Not in medical practice. Everyone's like, please stay away from medical, from medicine, please. I was literally telling alexander about like trauma trauma release exercises and like i was like oh and then you shake all your adrenaline out i'd be i really would be the like the wildest doctor dude okay one start uh sorry poor Blaise is listening to this like what?
Starting point is 00:09:25 Ugh. I am unable to give a review of this product. Walmart theft prevention reviewed the security footage and agrees that I did indeed purchase this product. The cashier put it in a bag, but I failed to take that one bag out with the rest of my purchases. The footage shows a customer behind me took the
Starting point is 00:09:45 product as part of their order. Walmart TP. Toilet? Toilet paper? I doubt that prevention maybe would not be the thing you had just said, but maybe toilet paper. I was so in the role, I didn't know what I just said. I was just channeling the review, you know? Walmart TP says I paid for it, so it belonged to me when the next customer took it whether knowingly or not so it's not their problem. I'm so sorry that's really funny. You bought it so it's yours. It's not ours.
Starting point is 00:10:15 They can take it. They can steal it from you. You don't care. Call the police. Yeah, yeah. Not TP. They suggest I file a police report. They would actually sometimes. They suggest I file a police report. They say-
Starting point is 00:10:25 They would actually sometimes. About this amount of vitamins. Poor other, that's ridiculous. That's so insane. I think, like my assumption is if it was just one thing of vitamins in a plastic bag, I don't know this for a fact, but it like very well could have just been grabbed as part of the other person's order. Yeah, I assume they just like put their items in that same plastic bag.
Starting point is 00:10:46 Right. I think they're implying that it was like literally stolen from them, because now they're suggesting a police report. Oh, my God. Can you imagine like the police show up at your door and they're like, we have to arrest you for theft. You took these fucking vitamins from somebody oh what if they were like like I didn't mean to steal it from... they cost like weirdly so much that it was like a felony amount like banned from all walmarts for this I just feel like like oh I didn't mean to steal this from Walmart you didn't you stole it from Donna and then she's over there like
Starting point is 00:11:21 filing a you know like um and her legal team somehow like bigger and more expensive than Walmart. For sure. Because Netflix is making a docu-series about it. It's like the next how to, it's like the next making a murderer. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So, okay, let's see. They suggest I file a police report. They say they would be required to provide security footage to law enforcement of the customer who ended up with the product. Walmart, you have always been my go-to for your fair prices, good variety of product, and customer service. I don't know what has happened to you.
Starting point is 00:11:57 The former corporate giant who at one time, I believe, looked out for their customers. This vitamin's not going to help you. one time I believe looked out for their customers. This vitamin's not gonna help you. A former corporate giant? I feel like they've become more of a corporate giant. That's the problem. Yeah, well, Donna, I don't think a vitamin's gonna fix the way that you think of them. This is all backwards.
Starting point is 00:12:16 This is how you got it all backwards. You have always been my go-to, blah, blah, blah. I don't know what has happened to you, the former corporate giant who at one time I believed looked out for their customers, but I hope that $25 bottle of vitamins helps keep you afloat. It certainly did more damage
Starting point is 00:12:34 than $25 worth of my opinion of you. And Justin FYI, I would never ever think for... Oh! I hadn't read this far in I would never ever think for I Hadn't read this far in because I already knew it was good so I'm just like this is as new to me as it is to you and Just an FYI I would never ever think for one second about filing a theft report on some potentially
Starting point is 00:13:03 Innocent customer who probably had no idea they were walking out the door with something they did not want or purchase end of review so that okay so that answers that glad it was cleared up there Donna isn't I'm sorry that Donna that I was accusing you of like getting getting a legal team and Netflix involved that was my bad I will say I was under the impression Donna wouldn't have done that. Donna seemed pretty pissed. Because Donna was saying, yeah. And Donna was saying like the person who ended up with it. Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:13:31 The person who took it. It was like. You're right. You're totally right. That is so wild. $25 bottle of vitamins and Walmart can't just be like, oh yeah, whoops, like it looks like that is what happened. Like just go get one off the shelf. It's crazy.
Starting point is 00:13:48 I agree, yeah, no, I totally agree. But Alexander, they're no longer the corporate giant, the loving corporate giant they once were. They were so empathetic and like really, really intimate with their customers and now. So intimate. Yeah, and now they're just. I've seen those videos.
Starting point is 00:14:06 Just a rinky dink old little place with. No. No values for humans. Anyway. Anyway, speaking of Walmart, I have a review from Taylor, they them of Equate Multivitamin. From Walmart? It was a review on Walmart.com. Is that the Walmart brand? I have no idea. Oh, no, man
Starting point is 00:14:29 Maybe well, you just said speaking of Walmart and then you said something else related to Walmart So I wanted to check. No, I said this is sorry. This is of the equate multivitamite multivitamins like The multi the one I gotta be honest, I have no idea what just happened. I just knew my mouth stopped working Pfft. Pfft. Pfft. Pfft. Pfft. Pfft. Pfft. Pfft. Pfft. Pfft.
Starting point is 00:14:48 Pfft. Pfft. Pfft. Pfft. Pfft. Pfft. Pfft. Pfft.
Starting point is 00:14:55 Pfft. Pfft. Pfft. Pfft. Pfft. Pfft. Pfft. Pfft.
Starting point is 00:15:01 Pfft. Pfft. Pfft. Pfft. Pfft. Pfft. Pfft., got it. Purchased through Walmart. Thank you. One star. Gross. This was the most unpleasant experience I've had and I went through a six year divorce. And I would rather do that one more time
Starting point is 00:15:16 than to consume this product. Please do not buy this product. I am begging you, the person who is reading this. End of review. Oh my God. I'm convinced, I'm not buying it. I'm not, I'm certainly not buying it. Yeah. I wasn't. Oh my God. I'm convinced I'm not buying it. I'm not, I'm certainly not buying it. I wasn't going to, but now I'm definitely not.
Starting point is 00:15:30 12 years, they would rather do another six. Yeah. A full dozen. Six, another six year long divorce. Another six year long divorce. Jesus. But with multivitamins from any other brand. Yes. Yeah, wow. That's that's really
Starting point is 00:15:47 this is as the equate team you got that one's got to hurt me like that one would like feel bad for me if I work there I'd frame this yeah yeah yeah I'd probably I mean if I didn't I wouldn't be corporate I wouldn't yeah if I didn't invent the fucking recipe I would probably like print that. I think that's the funniest thing ever. It's pretty good. It's pretty good. What if I was like in charge of taste?
Starting point is 00:16:12 Or taste tester? What if I was the taste tester? That's like the only qualified thing I could do. Adequate. So that I might take it very personally if I'm like, oh, this is delicious. And this guy's like, uh-uh. That would hurt.uh, divorce me. Yeah, because I do really go through a lot
Starting point is 00:16:28 of emotional turmoil when people say things like they like the taste of root beer, because I'm like, I don't. Yeah, so you take it personally. I can't. I take that so personally. I can't live like this unless, you know, what is going on? Oh, sorry, I'm looking for that can of root beer.
Starting point is 00:16:43 Alexander, you literally look all of a sudden so panic and frantic, like you're looking all around for the killer in your bedroom. I literally just drank a root beer like last night. No, you didn't, you're sick. Or two nights ago, I'm not kidding. I like how he says two nights ago and then he's just like looking around,
Starting point is 00:17:00 like there's no way I would have thrown away the can by now. No, I would not have. No, I did, I think. I'm like shocked that I did, especially would have thrown away the can by now. No, I would not have. No, I did, I think. I'm like shocked that I did, especially no way. I've got four beverages in me. Not only I don't have a therapist, just wait. Oh, Alexander.
Starting point is 00:17:12 There'll be root beer cans everywhere in a week. We'll see a pile of root beer cans soon enough. This is from Matt and Jen. Also, it's of a sport multivitamin, and it's on the GNC website. And the sport multivitamin and it's on the GMC website and the sport multivitamin is by a brand called Mega oh no GMC Mega Men. Oh yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:17:34 They invited me to that. They did. I turned it down. Oh you turned it down. Yeah. Yeah. I thought it said Mega Men. Oh my god.
Starting point is 00:17:42 Wow. That was such a bummer. I know. I mean that was my bad. You should read better next time. I know. Wow. That was such a bummer. I know. I mean, that was my bad. You should read better next time. I know. Okay. Let's see. One star and the title is boil or abscess?
Starting point is 00:17:55 Jesus Christ. I'm so sorry. I just had to give you a little taste. Those are my two options here. Okay. Yeah. Yeah. Look, you dodged a bullet,
Starting point is 00:18:06 I guess, with getting involved in this whole scheme, you know, this scandal. Oh, yeah. One star on the GNC website by Francis. I bought the product and taken it twice daily. I experienced growing multiple abscess upon taking the product. Experience growing multiple abscess upon taking the product One large boil and then I stopped taking it all together and had to visit doctor for checking the boil a month after healing I tried to take the remaining caps No It's like not funny I'm so sorry I tried to take the remaining caps. No. No. It's like not funny. I'm so sorry.
Starting point is 00:18:50 I'm just having a trauma response to this. Okay. Stop rubbing your boil. I'm so sorry. A month after healing, I tried to take the remaining capsules since I bought it. Okay, that's not I think we're allowed to laugh now after healing, I tried to take the remaining capsules since I bought it.
Starting point is 00:19:10 I think we're allowed to laugh now because this person was like, laugh at the first one, shame on us. Laugh at this one. You're so right. No more shame. No, you're so right. And like, I, what if it said, I tried to take the, I tried to take the remaining capsule since it did end up in my bag at Walmart and I didn't know where it had come from and I didn't pay for it. I thought it was a sign from God or something. Yeah, and it was free so why would I throw it away? You could argue that any which way. Or it's like I took this out of my friend Donna's cart when she was looking. I have a friend who works security at Walmart and doctored the tapes.
Starting point is 00:19:46 Okay. Oh my God. A month after healing, I tried to take the remaining capsules since I bought it and tried to dissuade the idea that this product was the one causing me boils. Next day. I don't know if it's like causing me boils or like causing me to have boils, but you know that's up That's the- Causing me boils, yeah
Starting point is 00:20:09 Causing me boils sounds better I tried to dissuade the idea that this product was the one causing me boils Next day another boil is growing in my body. I threw the remaining capsule It doesn't say away, but I threw the remaining capsule. I should not take in it again. Let this be known as I tried to search the link between Mega Men Sport and Abscess and found no previous cases. I hope this case will be studied further.
Starting point is 00:20:37 End of review. Wow. And by the way, this was written February of 2020. Whoa. They better not have taken one more of those goddamn pills because there is no room in the hospital starting next month. So true. Is that how the would that is this like when they said it happened like the next day I'm like are they getting a pimple? Like I don't know. Yeah they just have like an allergy to like fish oil or something in it that's just making them break out or something.
Starting point is 00:21:08 Because like when I eat a thing of Sour Patch Kids, my face breaks out. It's par for the course, you know. Yeah, that's just how it goes. Yeah, boils and abscess is extreme. Like that does that grow that quick? I don't know anything about boils, thankfully. I don't like personal experience. I mean, thankfully I don't either. And is there no difference between a boil and an abscess? Are those the same? What is it? I literally Alexander, we're not, this is why you not bringing like visuals. Why are you and I are the doctors, right? So how does it work again? So you're the one who over explains things. That's not my job. My job is to just kind of willy-nilly make stuff up Oh wait, so I could do that
Starting point is 00:21:47 Boil and abscess. I think an abscess has pus in it and a boil is Kind of like hot but I think I just think that because it's called a boil. Oh, well, it's hot like inflamed Inflames or inflamed I mean like temp i'm i'm i still can't tell if you're talking about temperature or not Either way, but inflamed which makes it hot. Oh, that's what makes it hot Well, think about if you have a fever it's like or if you're if say, you know when you have an injury and it's it's warm Because it's inflamed I don't know sure
Starting point is 00:22:23 Is that why they call it flame? Yes. Cool. I didn't know that. Well, I mean, I think just because it's well now I don't know, but I think so. It makes sense. It's not like it turns cold. That would suck. Inflammation. I don't know. Inflame. Cool. Anyway, so this GNC Mega Men inflamed this person. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:22:45 Cool. And by the way, folks, if anything I said was wrong, you remember, you must remember I was doing my character from the doctor's office. We're always doing that character. Yeah. Our show's called The Doctors, it's really funny. That's, what a good name, what a funny name.
Starting point is 00:23:03 Thanks, I can't believe no one's thought of it yet i have another one from taylor they them uh of a walmart product but this is of the flintstone gummy vitamins do you have a thought on flintstone any thoughts yeah i do actually i actually have way more than i than a normal person should okay uh fucking hate them. Yeah, they're disgusting. The thought of them makes me so ill. When I was a kid, I already had such a hard time taking any medicine or I had a lot of weird sensory with food stuff and one time I was at a friend's house and she, well, I had to take a multivitamin.
Starting point is 00:23:42 I like projectile vomited, it was so horrible. So then the next time I was at my friend's house and her mom was like, you have to take a multivitamin. I like projectile vomited, it was so horrible. So then the next time I was at my friend's house and her mom was like, you have to take your vitamin. And I was like, I don't take vitamins. And she's like, you have to. And so I put them in my mouth and she made me show her that it was like in my mouth. Jesus Christ.
Starting point is 00:23:58 Well, by the way, oh, guess what we ate for breakfast, McDonald's. So I was like, what's happening? What's happening here? It's balance. It's balance, It's balance diet. And so then she made me put my mouth and then I spit it out and put it in my pocket because I was like, and then I went
Starting point is 00:24:12 to her bathroom and I threw up because it really the chalking it makes it gross. Fucking disgusting. Yeah. Sorry. That's all. What about you? What do you think?
Starting point is 00:24:20 Agreed. Oh, and then they got melted into my pocket and I got in trouble at home. Okay. Gross. Yeah. Yeah, they're they're gross. I did not like them. I would only have them when I'd go to the Patterson's house. Right, like friends only ever had them. Yeah, yeah, it's only like at friends houses and they'd give me a nice cold glass of milk and a Flintstone vitamin. And a McGriddle. No, that was at my friend's house. No, their parents were doctors so they're like very strict about certain like... Like we had to have a glass of milk.
Starting point is 00:24:55 Oh funny. In hindsight I'm like that's not... Like what? That wasn't really good for it. Whatever. That's hilarious. But yeah. Anyway Flintstone gummy vitamins review. I think I would like i would have liked the gummy vitamins i think i don't think i ever would have had a problem with that it was just that like powdery chalky i yeah me too i would like the gummies i like anything gummy pretty much i also never make children that are not your own like forced eat anything that's wild to me that is like the amount of like little things i think of and I'm like,
Starting point is 00:25:25 that's like extremely upsetting as like an eight-year-old to be like forced and then like show both the mom and the dad that it's in your mouth. Like what the fuck? That's like really unhinged behavior. I was thinking that, yeah, I'm glad you came to that conclusion. I've never like thought of this really until now. Anyway, sorry. I'm having a moment. Go ahead. Yeah. This is a one. Go ahead. Yeah. This is a one-star review. Just not sure.
Starting point is 00:25:48 I always bought the older kind for my granddaughter. She has been sick ever since I changed to the gummy. With that being said, she also just started kindergarten, but she has never been sick in five years. End of review. Okay. Next time she says it, she's gonna be like, she's never been sick in 11 years
Starting point is 00:26:05 like I thought she was in kindergarten. Um that's wild to be like... Is this the grandma it said? Yeah. That's funny. Probably the parents are like no ma no like she gets sick every now and then no she's never been sick before. Never been sick until these Flintstone vitamin gummies. Like I guess it depends on what kind of sick it is. Cristine- I was like, wait a minute, that doesn't even really make any sense. Ben- Like, if they made her throw up, that's one thing, but like there's no way that kid hasn't puked in five years, come on. Cristine- No, yeah, I'm imagining this is like, oh, she's finally getting like all these colds and stuff from kindergarten.
Starting point is 00:26:42 Ben- Yeah, yeah, yeah. And vitamins used to help. Ben- The vitamins helped and now they don't. Now they don't. Because they're gummies. Well honestly. I don't know. Honestly, what? Tell me what tell me your honest truth right now about this. I've already told you so many honest truths today. What else?

This is a one star view. It's called Missing the Case, verified purchase. Product came right away but is missing the case so can't give to someone as a gift until I finish my first vitamins so I can empty my current case in order to give as well as the vitamins. So not sure why because the first time when I bought it I did have the case as well as the vitamins. End of review. Wait, they just got a bunch of vitamins without a... So they're in these like foil packets,
Starting point is 00:30:48 like they're sealed. They are sealed, but they're like in these like- Like individually sealed? No, it's like three different kinds and I think they just come in like, let me get you a picture. Yeah, cause this is not- I know you're itching for one,
Starting point is 00:31:01 so let me get you a picture. You can see me itching? I thought I was doing that like below the camera. I know you thought itching for one. So let me get you a picture. You can see me itching I thought I was doing that like below the camera. I know you thought it was subtle but Okay, so it's of neutralite double X multivitamin mmm Obviously and then can I just text you the picture? I'm so ready Okay, here is the box and then I'll show you what is inside it. Which honestly it looks like a bouillon cube actually when I look at it now. Oh, yes it does.
Starting point is 00:31:30 Doesn't it? What is this? Okay, look at this. Wait, I didn't realize there was one with writing on it, like a diagram. Here we go. This one says used. Oh, I see.
Starting point is 00:31:40 See it came with that plastic case. Oh, I see. Okay, I thought like they meant like yeah that would stink if you got one with the case so here we are thinking they just didn't get a box with it or something yeah i thought it was like they didn't even get packaging it um by the way they look absolutely foul i'm sending a picture this is the product display the way they look absolutely foul.
Starting point is 00:32:06 I'm sending a picture. This is the product display. Oh, fucking kill me. Is that not the most disgusting? I actually it's making my it's the one on the right is disgusting. OK, I actually have to close out. OK, you know, it's just like really. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. These three pills. Two are really unfortunate shades of green, and one is like a really
Starting point is 00:32:27 unfortunate shade of yellow. And it looks. Oh, they're all pukey looking. You can tell they smell. There's so many flecks of stuff in them. Like so many flecks and the product picture is so oversized that you can like see all the great grittiness of them. And then like you just see the smell, you know? You can just see the smell. Like, ugh, ugh, okay.
Starting point is 00:32:48 Yeah, anyway. Too much, too much. So, that was that, your turn. I love that it's like, I wanna give this as a gift, by the way, which is very funny. Like, if you gave them the package, it could still be a gift, right? But I guess if you want it to be in the special box.
Starting point is 00:33:01 They want them to have the case, I guess? I don't know. Oh well. Here is something, have the case, I guess? I don't know. Oh well. Here is something, my last ones, I have multiple, but just start with one. These were sent in by Hannah, she, her, who knew what I would be interested in reading reviews on. Oh boy.
Starting point is 00:33:17 Yes. This is a review of something called sex dust. What? So Hannah said, here are reviews for multivitamins. Okay, fine, they're sex supplements, close enough. So this first one is called sex dust. Adaptogens for fire, adapt, okay, sorry, every word is capitalized so I can't tell.
Starting point is 00:33:42 Adaptogens for fire, period. And it says libido hormonal balance and creative energy. Enflamed. Enflamed, you're so right. But yeah, so it's a libido supplement that combines six powerful adaptogens and herbs. Probably tastes just as bad as those fucking pills. Yeah, your eyes were like starry eyed,
Starting point is 00:34:04 and then you you brought it back down to earth. Yeah. For a moment I thought you were getting wrapped up in the marketing of this thing. Oh, I was gonna invest. Were you? Yeah. Nobody asked you to though, that's weird. What makes you say that? You think Hannah didn't ask me to invest? I see. There's a reason I snatched this email up. Sex dust. It's mine, I'm in, I'm in, Hannah. Yeah, yeah. No, this is. I was gonna say Hannah's sex dust,
Starting point is 00:34:29 but I'm pretty sure that would be pretty inappropriate and maybe. Harassment. Harassment, so I'm not gonna say it. I don't know if it's a maybe. I'm glad I didn't say it. So this is a review, a five-star review by someone in the age range of 45 to 54.
Starting point is 00:34:48 Gender, female, wellness concern, libido. And this is a five-star review. Believe. I didn't, now I do. This stuff has kept me chasing my hubby around for more. End of review. Oh my God, around for more. End of review. Oh my god that's hilarious. That, wow, that's good marketing. Speaking of, once you invest, you should tell them to use that as marketing. I feel like that review is gonna get people
Starting point is 00:35:20 intrigued. Don't worry, I have another one after this. Chase an hubby around. I wish it said DH, that's the only thing I wish would be different. Oh, that was my last one, sorry. Oh, okay, good. Then I have another one here, it's a five-star review of Sex Dust. This is written by someone age range 35 to 44. What if I had like 10 more and I was like, actually cancel it all. Patrice, clear my schedule. I want to hear all these sex test reviews.
Starting point is 00:35:48 You were so, you were like. I was like, I don't want to bring anything more to the table right now. Wow. Alexander's serving. But it's not true. I don't have any more. I was gonna say, I don't think that's true.
Starting point is 00:36:02 I don't. Hannah was excited. Hannah was like, wow, this is such have anymore. I was gonna say, I don't think that's true. I don't. Hannah was excited, Hannah was like, wow, this is such a compliment. Tell about you, Hannah. The wellness concern for this 35 to 44 year old female is hormonal balance and libido. Five stars.
Starting point is 00:36:17 Five stars, okay. Works great. A little too great, actually. Has my husband lasting too long? End of review. Has my husband lasting too long? And the review. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Wow.
Starting point is 00:36:31 This. Listen, Oggslinger, if you invest, I take it back. I'm not going to judge because it feels like this might be. The future. The future. Speaking of the future, here is another thing called Alice happy ending It's a chocolate supplement to support intimacy and pleasure in the bedroom. Okay, is this from Hannah again? Yeah, you are like in some cool corners the internet
Starting point is 00:37:06 as you're as you're as you're keep your I'm typing over there I am you know why because I'm trying to understand if sex dust is a dust like I or like a powder I think it's a powder yeah oh I see okay because I was like is it a capsule no I'm pretty sure it's a powder wow this is so wild okay I'm just curious anyway go on you let's see how to. Using a milk frother or blender, mix one teaspoon of this natural libido supplement into coffee, black tea, hot water, with a splash of milk or cocoa. Commit daily for maximum benefits.
Starting point is 00:37:36 Oh, cute. Well, I use that Beam stuff, like the sleepy drink, and I got a milk frother from them and I put it in like oat milk, like warm oat milk and like froth it up. That's smart, that's fun. I don't think I need to add sex dust. I think I'm okay with the current situation of my life.
Starting point is 00:37:54 Okay. Well, how about, let's see, happy ending functional mushroom chocolates from Alice. Who's Alice? Five stars. I have no idea. It just says Alice. Imagine like just getting a package from Alice. Who's Alice? I have no idea. It just says Alice. Imagine like just getting a package from Alice in Wonderland? Well, kind of. Here's a five-star review. I bought these and tried them with my wife and a couple drinks. I really didn't notice a huge difference the first
Starting point is 00:38:21 time. Then Bonnie from Alice responded to my concern and we tried two chocolates each with no drinks the next time. Very noticeable change, very calming and it actually felt like we were super attracted to each other. Been married 25 years, great sex and after we were super close as we fell asleep together, very happy, but take two, end of review.
Starting point is 00:38:46 Take two or else you'll still be just as appalled. What was the word? Repulsed by your partner. Disgusted, repulsed. Repulsed by your partner. That's hilarious. I love that they're like, it's 25 years, you get it. I am hoping they didn't mean for it to sound so dramatic with the we actually were attracted to each other but I'm not I
Starting point is 00:39:10 mean listen it's a little bit sad but you know what it sounds like they found a good new hey maybe it's even placebo effect who knows you know totally yeah that changes your mindset too but also I'm sure the chocolate works great listen and hopefully now they're like, oh, we can be attracted to each other. We just need to keep buying this chocolate. We kind of forgot. Every month, we need to put it on auto supply.
Starting point is 00:39:31 Yeah. Take two, God, that's gonna get expensive probably. Oh God, take two, it's gonna be really expensive. Well, it's not like after you're married 25 years, you're having sex every day. Am I right, fellas? Am I right, Alice? Or whoever that person every day am I right am I right fellas am I right Alice or whoever that person is am I right Bonnie remember that old lady named Alice who then became my imaginary friend who burned down in house fires
Starting point is 00:39:55 that was a different woman okay that was a woman who predicted my mom's pregnancy with me oh yeah yeah, yeah, yeah. But then they were at Denny's. No, yes. So anyway, this is my challenge. Oh wait, we gotta do our voicemail first. We get to do our voicemail. Yay! This voicemail is from...
Starting point is 00:40:22 Whoa, I had to spell that. This voicemail is from Kate and uh Kate doesn't bring it up but I think that this is something and one of those things that we haven't acknowledged yet. But also just was it just a friendly message that I enjoyed because I was like, you know what? I got dumped by my therapist. Let's just have some something, something light, something fun.
Starting point is 00:40:51 Okay, great. Hi, my name is Kate. I'm a nurse in Minnesota. I work at a hospital and I just want to vouch for the magic that is diet Shasta Cola. I enjoy a mini can of that shit every shift and it is honestly the highlight of my day someday. And if I really need to pick me up, I'll take a little diet lemon lime Shasta with a little carton of cranberry juice and I just pretend I'm on the beach just for five.
Starting point is 00:41:25 Oh. And it's amazing. And so are you guys. I love you. Bye. I love you too. And I love your relaxation. I love your visualization technique.
Starting point is 00:41:39 That's the tip of the day, everybody. Listening in Minnesota, like to pretend you're on the beach, that's a fucking stretch. so I'm really impressed. I really really love this visualization honestly Alexander we could probably clip this and make it a meditation like a just a daily meditation. Yeah and sell it to patrons. And sell it to people. Sell to the whole world. Oh the whole world? Yeah. Whoa. Yeah I think they would take that. But just like the idea. And yes,
Starting point is 00:42:05 yes, that is Alexander. This is so perfect. Shasta. Thank you. And it's like, I see, here's what I'll say. I was wrong. Whoa. But I will say there were still comments, people saying Sh Shasta that it's like most people okay, this is what was bothering me is that all over the place People were saying it's pronounced sh-a-h That's Shaw that to me that's Shaw and then they would write but not sh-a-w and I'm like, that's the same thing if you're gonna give me A W and I'm like that's the same thing if you're gonna give me phonetic I'm so sorry as somebody who's like has a sick like mental obsession with grammar and spelling and Syntax don't like misspell the pronunciation then I'm never gonna figure it out
Starting point is 00:42:57 Okay, if you want me to say it right give me the actual pronunciation like I don't know Shasta and Shasta Unless I'm supposed to go shah hosta. I don't know shasta and shasta unless i'm supposed to go shah-husta i don't know i'm confused and i keep saying it wrong and this by the way that's that's her name shasta or shasta she doesn't even know how to pronounce her own name that's how that's how dark things have gotten over here what are you holding up for every i don't even know what the fuck this thing is what you don't know you haven't met her oh this is Shasta my squish mellow um it was the day I decided to go to Mount Shasta and I was telling Blaze about it and I said um hey I don't know if
Starting point is 00:43:33 I want to do this by myself like it's kind of a long drive between shows and he said like well we'll just think on it overnight whatever the next morning I go in my car and I'm like Leona look I brought some fan mail home from the, let's open one. And so I just like kind of opened one and it was a squish mellow and I opened the tag and it said Shasta and I was like, oh. Whoa, that's wild. Blaise said, oh, that is pretty weird.
Starting point is 00:43:56 And I said, wow, I got him. Blaise is saying that. But so this is, so she came with me on my trip to the train car and everything. That's amazing. But so I was saying Shasta and now I'm like, oh my god, it's Shasta. Oops. Ben- Yeah, it's Shasta. Cristine- It is. And I'm sorry about the way that I said it wrong.
Starting point is 00:44:14 Ben- I think that people will be okay. Cristine- It's Hoth. Ben- It's he? I messed one up too. It's Hoth, not health. Hoth. Cristine- And they said, you know, like ho and I was like, okay. Ben- Yeah. And they said, yeah. Cristine- Hoth yeah. Shasta and? So many others I'm sure. Many things we mispronounce. Eau Claire?
Starting point is 00:44:35 Um anyway. Wow that was a deep cut. But guess what I can say. At me and a deep dig at me. I was gonna think of another one for me, but I couldn't. Just kidding, Glasgow. Oh, I already said that. Yeah. So, I was gonna say one more thing that was kind of rude, I think.
Starting point is 00:44:54 Oh, I did see someone who made a complaint about like, us not knowing a certain thing. This was like a few weeks ago, and I forgot to, I didn't, wasn't planning on bringing it up, but it's kind of relevant. Someone was like, I've really enjoyed this podcast but like it was as if their last straw was that we just like didn't know something. There was something that we like
Starting point is 00:45:11 are, we didn't have knowledge of and they said that in the comment and I was like I wonder what it was. That's so random. Could it have been? That's what it took? I mean I was pretty, there were only a few things that I was like pretty actually ashamed about. Most of them were the like dumb pronunciations. Those are big ones. But then also, um, the time I said, uh, my gosh, what did I say? It's so hard for me to remember a time I was wrong, you know? Yeah, that's tough. It's so rare that it happened. Oh, a friend of Dorothy. Remember that whole thing? Wasn't that me that messed that up? Yeah, we both didn't understand it and then people were like, oh boy, you know,
Starting point is 00:45:48 and now that we're both out as queer people, I'm like, man, few. But that one, I was referencing by accident, community. I know, but remember, and then we were like, is that what that, like, does it come from that? Like, we didn't know like the origin and I felt like, oh, I probably should have known that like by now, but anyway, like living living in la working in the tv industry but you know anyway
Starting point is 00:46:10 there are a few things i found the things the thing i was talking about what thing that comment where that person said that ready yeah this is apparently from 296 reviews of pet supplements i don't remember pet supplements oh, is it about a lizard? I can't. Someone said, turtles are reptiles. Vitamins of all kinds are needed to help people who keep reptiles to keep them healthy. I told you, it's a reptile.
Starting point is 00:46:34 They will get metabolic bone disease. It's a reptile person. I like you guys through a lot of stuff, but come on, this is children's fourth grade science. Do I look like I could is children's fourth grade science. Do I look like I could walk into a fourth grade science class and get an A on a test? Like, no. What the fuck are you talking about? Oh, I forgot. They said signed a fifth grader. OK, listen.
Starting point is 00:46:59 Um, listen, Jeff Foxworthy over here. OK, here's what I'll have to say to that I knew you were a lizard person the moment I heard it I knew it because I am now friends and close with so many people who love their reptiles and There are some of you not you the ones I love and are kind some of you just get real angry about About how little people know about reptiles and I understand it's frustrating, but like I had to figure out how to like Do taxes like a grown-up and like birth a child like raise a child and the birth part just kind of happened
Starting point is 00:47:36 All that other stuff. I don't have time to remember fourth grade science No, it's not staying in my brain. Also, do you know what I did in fourth grade? What country are you from, person? Because guess what I learned in fourth grade science? I learned that Riley, my lab partner, said he would, I would be the last person in the grade he would have a baby with. Because we had to make a genetic, like, it was really fucked up. We had to draw a picture of us with another student, what our baby would look like. And Riley raised his hand and said,
Starting point is 00:48:15 said, can I have a different lab partner? And then he said, no offense. And I went, and he went, he went, and she goes, no, and he goes, he went, and she goes, no. And he goes, I don't want to have a baby with her. And she's like, I've assigned you partners. And then he named the baby Riley Jr. Anyway, that's what was happening in my fourth grade science.
Starting point is 00:48:42 And guess what? Guess which one, guess which memory stuck? Was it about turtle vitamins or was it about the time I was bullied in front of everyone? Huh, I wonder. I wonder. Am I getting defensive? If anyone doesn't believe that that happened in my Ninth grade we had to in religion class My class we had to pretend to marry each other and go through a whole marriage thing like But do you know what i did it's fucking wild this shit i married my crush oh but he didn't like me back so for me
Starting point is 00:49:11 it was just a weird one-sided stalker why were you still having a crush on riley after what happened we had a baby together alexander there was so much more yeah true what a jackass okay oh yeah you have a challenge, huh? I do. By the way, thank you for the voicemail. It was very, very lovely and I think I might use it as my like, like, you know, when they say visualize your safe space, I feel like Mount Shasta on the beach. There you go. Or sorry, die at Shasta on the beach. Mount Shasta is in a blizzard when I was there. Okay. McDonald's new cheesy jalapeno and bacon quarter pounder with 100% Canadian beef is here.

Starting point is 00:50:56 It was to find reviews about duplicates of stuffed animals and buying them, you know, for emergency reasons, like for in case of emergency. so this first one is of from Steph Shide and it's of a stuffed wolf. the buyer verified buyer put the occasion as baby and gave it five stars. my grandson loves it. I purchased one exactly like it in Estes Park last June. My two-year-old grandson became obsessed with it. This is his baby.
Starting point is 00:51:31 Just in case it got lost, we bought it back up. It's funny because the wolf is actually his spirit animal. End of review. Oh. And Steph said, would love to know what method they use to determine a toddler spirit animal. Now I don't know if this is an actual usage
Starting point is 00:51:49 of the term spirit animal in a spiritual way or in just like a... I assume it's not a spiritual thing. I don't think so. Which makes it extra, like I mean like, It's not cute. I know that it's not cute to begin with, but like also to like say that about a two year old.
Starting point is 00:52:04 It's not cute to say that a two year old's, Like, it's such a poopy slobber. That's not a thing that your grandmother picks for you, I don't think, unless it is like some sort of like deep spiritual tradition, but I don't think that's the vibe here. Especially because she just bought it in Colorado. Where was this from? Like, what does it do have have like a source of the product?
Starting point is 00:52:25 It was like on a website of stuffed animals. It was like a toy site or something. It just is just was strange. It's like maybe they made him take that inappropriate Buzzfeed quiz, you know, like one of those where it's like, what's your spirit animal? Yeah. Okay. Now I have.
Starting point is 00:52:43 Wow. This is alarming. Do you happen to have my notes open? No, but I can in a moment. If you don't mind, if you scroll down to the first glaringly hot pink thing that you see. Oh, yes. There it is. Okay, so this is a little fox. And this is a five-star review by an Amazon customer
Starting point is 00:53:02 called Sweet, Cuddly, and Durable Stuffed Animal. We bought this as a backup to a fox we had already purchased and my 3 ½ year old daughter loves it. She cannot go anywhere without Foxy Lola. After Foxy was accidentally dropped in a friend's driveway at night, frozen into the ice and driven over by a car, I decided to buy a backup. Just, okay, someone had it out for this fox. This is horrifying. That does not sound accidental.
Starting point is 00:53:36 Also, it's like after that happened, you bought a backup. So did you rescue the first one or was it like? It's still there frozen. Oh my God. Oh my God. OK. Oh, I got the answer here. After Foxy was accidentally dropped, first of all, her name is Foxy Lola, and I'd appreciate if you used her full name. After Foxy Lola was accidentally dropped in a friend's driveway at night,
Starting point is 00:54:01 frozen into the ice and driven over by a car, I decided to buy a backup fox. Please note, the original fox is still alive, and well, and machine washes pretty well, but it's a roughly used stuffed animal. Yeah, I'll say, you drove over it with your car. Sounds like it. Like, I dropped my stuffed animal in the toilet. I know.
Starting point is 00:54:20 But this is extreme. Actually, you threw it in the toilet. Like, I was throwing it up in the air. Yes. It wasn't like you just threw it in the toilet like I was throwing it up in the air Yes, it wasn't like it wasn't like it in the toilet. It was like part It was I was playing yeah, God forbid a child. It was a freak accident everybody. Okay freak accident Foxy Lola is fine You know, it was not my freak accident Was not a freak. What was not your freak? It was the time that I held my blankie out the window
Starting point is 00:54:47 and mom said, if you let go, it's gonna go flying. And so I let go. Of the car? Yeah, and it went flying out the highway, went down the highway. And then mom took a new one, rubbed it in dirt, brought it upstairs and said, look, I found her. And...
Starting point is 00:55:02 Did it work? It worked. Yeah. And she had backups. Smart. Yep. It's a roughly used stuffed animal. This stuffed animal has withstood some pretty tough toddler use. Again.
Starting point is 00:55:13 Must I remind you of the car. And many trips through the washer and dryer. While my daughter wasn't fooled by the replacement fox when I tried to slip it to her while foxy Lola was in the wash, she still loved the new foxy and now has to carry both the old and new Fox with her. However, we've made the second Fox an at-home toy, so she will always having it if Foxy Lola is lost or left at the sitters. One of the bows by the ear has come off while the other remained intact. Otherwise, there is no ripping or shedding or any other issues.
Starting point is 00:55:42 End of review. Wow. Very in-depth, you know? Very, very in depth. Now I know what Foxy Lola can survive. Honestly. Which is surprisingly a lot. She has gone through it. I love that, like, they initially created a whole new problem, which is now we have two Foxy Lolas we need to be in constant care of and make sure neither gets lost.
Starting point is 00:56:06 I think that kind of defeats the purpose of it. But I do, I like the idea of the at home backup. Just in case. The stay at home fox, yes. Okay, now if you scroll down Zandi, this is an octopus. It is. Octi. And it is a five-star view by Abby
Starting point is 00:56:29 called Adorable Octopus. Verified purchase. Octi is a very soft, cuddly, and quality stuffy, easily tossed in the washer and dryer. After hundreds of washes, there is no seam separation or any holes. Which I'll add also, this thing has tentacle like eight yes big old tentacles so I'm shocked that doesn't get impressive that's actually quite impressive the fur is
Starting point is 00:56:57 fluffy and the underside of the tentacles has quilted fabric to resemble suction cups just like real live octopuses. Okay. I feel like that's a little far. Yeah, it's pronounced octopuses. And it's it's a stuffed octopus. Oh, oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Forgot about that. Bought this for granddaughter as a backup. Originally with only one octi, there were horrible tantrums if we hid it away from her. Well, okay. Why would you hide it away from her?
Starting point is 00:57:27 Whatever, okay. Original- To force a tantrum for fun. Oh. For the guests. For the guests a little show. Yeah. It's like your kid can play violin, watch what my kid can do.
Starting point is 00:57:38 That's what I do with Leona and I record it. You put her stuffed animals in the toilet. Yeah. Bought for granddaughter as a backup. Originally with only one Octi, there were horrible tantrums if we hid it away from her. Now one is always findable. I also bought one in blue
Starting point is 00:57:53 for the new addition to the family coming in June. End of review. So, they have the backup one in case they hide the first one? Yeah. What does that mean? I have no idea, Alexander. And now there's a third one entering the home. And they're gonna have to get a backup of that one.
Starting point is 00:58:17 That one, of course. In case they hide that one. And now like you already have like kind of a built in problem, which is that like the child's gonna be like, wait, but my thing is the octopus and now i mean i guess it's fine you're speaking from your all you're projecting i'm clearly projecting but it feels like
Starting point is 00:58:32 it feels like now you're gonna if there's already tantrums happening about the octopus being hidden for some reason i don't know that adding two more and then like assigning them other people to other people is gonna to help but I mean what do I know right not much i don't know i don't know if anyone knows about what's happening here
Starting point is 00:58:50 i don't either good that makes me feel a little better um this is also from stef this is my last thing and alexander if you don't mind scrolling down to the last picture cute so this is Camille. He's a camel and his name is Camille and he is a Qatar Airways stuffy and they apparently have a whole collection and this is like one of them that you can collect. And I tell you that because this is a forum of course that Steph found on flyertalk.com. Yeah. So this is a post originally written in December of 2020 by someone named Lux. And it says,
Starting point is 00:59:33 can anyone help with an Oryx Kids Club soft toy? And this is, I guess, the Qatar Airways club, I don't know, club membership, whatever. Fellow Flyer Talkers, my son's very, very favorite soft toy is an Oryx Kids Club Camel. He loves it. I mean a real, genuine love. We tell stories about him. He goes to bed with it every night.
Starting point is 01:00:00 They're best mates. I managed to find a backup camel on eBay in case of loss or emergency of Camille number one and that time has come. We are on to the backup camel. If Camille number two is lost too, he'll do more than get the hump." And then he inserted the picture of the camel to be like, this is the guy we're discussing. It's going to be a while before I fly with Qatar again, which seems the only way to source a replacement. If there was anyone who's flying soon who'd be able to charm the crew into handing one over, I'd be very, very happy to pay for the postage to London. It's a long shot, but if anyone could help, we'd be hugely grateful. Thank you.
Starting point is 01:00:38 Um, let's see... I hope this is so active. I love this. This is the first response by user looking for Faiz Falcon Is there any chance you have a Faiz Falcon toy for your travels? We're in a simul- we're in a similar situation where my daughter cannot be separated from Birdie. It's like make your own damn post Maybe he's like I'll trade. I mean right but it's like you could have offered to trade But I don't think that's what you're doing Maybe he's like, I'll trade. I mean, right? But it's like, you could have offered to trade, but I don't think that's what you're doing.
Starting point is 01:01:06 This person has never thought of this before and is like, oh, this parent thought of it. I'm gonna jump in here and latch on for my own child. And the fact that their username is looking for Faiz Falcon is hilarious. And then in the next comment, someone wrote, I have a few dot dot dot and posted a picture of like their whole collection of all these stuffed animals
Starting point is 01:01:27 Like okay, like are you bragging Wow, but you can't have one but you can't have one. Oh Alexander I see what's happening. Oh No, remember looking for faiz Falcon. They thought that The picture of all the animals was OP Because it says I have a few. Oh They thought that the picture of all the animals was OP because it says I have a few. Oh. And she thought it was in response to her. Oh.
Starting point is 01:01:51 So she says, oh, wonderful. I have a Camille in perfect condition. I'd be willing to swap with you. So then. Oh no. Drama. Drama on flyer talk. Drama on flyer talk.
Starting point is 01:02:03 When is there not? Am I right? And now this is a response by yoho 66 I would be on a flight to doha on this thursday if you're still missing camille. I can try to get you one That's very nice. And then somebody else says we're missing an aura plush. Okay. Well, uh, someone else these greedy bastards I know just hopping in on the bandwagon here. Someone else is going to be like, actually, I need one too.
Starting point is 01:02:29 And then someone will give them one before the OP gets one. Can you imagine? Yes, I can. I'm imagining it right now. Well, it's probably that person who says, I have a whole collection. And then they're accidentally going to trade it with them. Not, this person says, not quite sure how it's related to Fleetwood Mac,
Starting point is 01:02:43 but there's one for sale here. So let me just open that link without any further thought. it's related to Fleetwood Mac, but there's one for sale here So let me just open that link without any further thought. Is this on Fleetwood Mac forum? This is on Fleetwood Mac dotnet everything that is Fleetwood Mac. I can't and there's Oh Alexander What? Tell me. I think it was just like an ad on like an eBay ad that they saw because they were looking for one. Oh no!
Starting point is 01:03:10 Cause mine has like an eBay ad but for like other shit that I like not at Camel or whatever. That's so funny. Oh my gosh. Literally everyone now is saying oh I see one in the picture can you send me that that person who was bragging about all their stuffed animals now everyone's like asking give me yours yeah i see you have one my son wants one too by the way are these all their children or is this just you people i don't know yeah i kind of want one now i want the whole my daughter's got given away by mistake oh my god everyone is getting real this is making me anxious i feel like katar always needs I kinda want one now. I want the whole set. My daughter's got given away by mistake. Oh my God, everyone is getting real,
Starting point is 01:03:47 this is making me anxious. I feel like Qatar Airways needs like an online store so they can just sell these to people and not have to like go through this wild nonsense. But then they wouldn't be as rare as desirable, I don't know. Yeah, I get, right. Meanwhile, this person's just like,
Starting point is 01:04:04 I want one for my kid, please. You know what your kid shouldn't have lost that first one Yeah, that's on them. That's on them. This is a life lesson Yeah, I don't know how they would react if you ask as an adult as the toys are obviously meant to be given to kids Well, okay, obviously. Thank you. I assume you would say my son lost it. Like I don't. Yeah. Like that time I went to the blue jackets game. It was my first ever blue jackets game. And I went to go get a first game hockey puck. And they were like, these are only for kids.

It's just sad like I they had like So many so many look at this. This is post number 16 I found one today. It's not Oh my god, what in the world now? They're just explaining the different toys that they sell
Starting point is 01:04:59 This is like so not helpful to anybody. What are these people doing? I thought this would be that's the end of the conversation. That's it? So this person never got- I mean, well, somebody, like, I think maybe some DMs happened, because the person- I just fucking hope so.
Starting point is 01:05:12 I hope so, because the person who said, "'Oh, you do have one. "'I'll send you the perfectly good camel in exchange. "'I'll DM you.'" But I'm like, maybe the original poster saw that and was like, we know that was me dm me yeah yeah maybe i don't know we can only hope i thought we'd find out no answers no answers we've got some answers here maybe stef can find answers deeper into flyer talk she for what deeper into flyer talk i thought you
