Starting point is 00:02:46 See You Next Tuesday. You know, there's some people that didn't get it. Really? Yeah. Are they new? I just realized. Like, okay. I guess it helps that we, like,
Starting point is 00:03:02 made it on Tuesday. So, I guess there's, like, a wee bit of plausible deniability. Also, it completely changed because See You Next Tuesday used to be Fisting Friday and Fisting Friday is now see you next tuesday well here's the thing i think if you didn't get see you next tuesday in the context of the fact that there's a there's a fisting friday of all that came before it you
Starting point is 00:03:24 would think don't think too hard okay but you think the perfect amount not too little but not too much and that's why i think some people didn't like interstellar it's like you have to think but not too much yeah your brain has to be on but you can't be firing off on all cylinders yeah we've got three different segments it's a good time we also have a patreon if you want to watch the video version of this episode and all of our podcast episodes um of other but am i wrong other don't blame me's but you can also just listen ad free there or you can also join or and or you can do both our live streams we have twice a month very fun good times and we also have merch and dice we do neither of us are wearing it nope but it's cute it says therapy
Starting point is 00:04:16 these colors will be ending at the end of this month i keep saying this but i didn't run it by megan at all no but i just said okay also by the way for everyone who knows like i'm the one who does like the merch back end stuff so i go by the way let me know what you want me to do because you don't have a list of things no no totally but like do you need me to remove it like because you don't know how to do that moving into oh i do know how to do you know how to remove them yeah oh we're moving into spring though so i feel like we need spring colors okay let me put that on my to-do list this is a read between the lines i just the whole time been like yeah i can't look with it last week but we're never going to say what are you talking about because i'm i'm a yes
Starting point is 00:05:00 i'm supportive you're my best friend i'm never gonna be like what are you like no unless i'm purposely trying to embarrass you but when it comes to a business front we are united and i'll ask questions later yeah and for sure what do you mean i come up with the deadlines and things and you do the creative part so we're doing our part no it's it's this is how we thrive it's mostly goes you have to do this by this day and i go okay yeah so spring colors are coming so if you want those fall colors then hurry up because they're gonna be gone very soon we operate by the actual calendar of when springtime is which is at the end of the month we just don't go by oh it's march no first day of spring is uh actually coming up quicker than i thought
Starting point is 00:05:52 March 20th oh okay so we probably won't have it by the first day of spring but um we'll have it soon yeah hurry up
Starting point is 00:06:03 get in bed what song is that so close and so far away no clue what you're singing is it Jojo no I accidentally
Starting point is 00:06:18 just hurry up and eat in Spanish that's not what I meant i like it to the honor correct jordan sparks what's she been up to is she doing gospel or is that just tori kelly i wouldn't put it past her do gospel yeah she also well she did do a royalty free christmas album on the website that i use for royalty free music i have to say it was very straightforward they were not a lot of
Starting point is 00:06:49 I use it too don't okay so sorry epidemic sound yeah I was a little a little upset by it because like
Starting point is 00:06:54 I was like I love when they give a Christmas song that's a little less organ and a little there's some percussion there's a little bit of a beat they have that girl
Starting point is 00:07:07 singing those songs by the book whatever book wrote those initial songs it was very classic which is beautiful
Starting point is 00:07:15 but just not the vibe okay what is she doing well i meant like in the last few years but that was in the last few months and i forgot so she but i to me she also did that last year too though i feel like they just released more she did a reality show when what show it says reality show and return to music 2018 her and her husband it was on lifetime she did a little bit of broadway she was on the mass singer dancing with the stars i don't know she has a new album with t-pain i'm gonna i don't think it's gospel afro beats r r&b hip-hop soul dance pop oh check it out i'm gonna listen to
Starting point is 00:07:57 that i should have put her in the women of billboard yeah i i have to say i do think i could create a more cohesive lineup you could go so many different directions with all of the people that you picked but anyways here we go should we get started with our first segment our first segment is but am i wrong where we pitch something that's happened in our life something we have strong feelings about something we have any feelings about it could be a rant any of that to the other person and ask are we wrong?
Starting point is 00:08:39 And yeah, who's hurt? Me. Okay. I was trying to debate which way, how to phrase this. Do I want to piss people? Do I want to be like
Starting point is 00:08:53 what's it called when you're trying to rage bait-y? A contrarian? Or or do i want to just be like straightforward and honest i think i'm just gonna be straight go rage baby this is supposed to be a hot take you gotta go rage baby yeah but i don't this is the only exception to that rule that's ever happened before and i don't want people to apply it to other things okay so i'll tell you my rage baby headline which is for the first time
Starting point is 00:09:26 i actually do now think we should not be race switching every character in movies and tv shows okay i don't know if you know this but um against everybody's desires wishes and what is i would say financially smart lucrative whatever um they are making an hbo harry potter show what is it is it a prequel is it is it a postquel other small characters no they're remaking just all of harry potter which is fundamentally fucking crazy because but by the way we already have eight movies and with the same character these people are alive but you can't do an older version because the cast aside from a few fucking hate jk rowling so much that they would never sign on to do anything that she is currently making so they couldn't play like the older versions of them
Starting point is 00:10:21 and have their kids there and it has someone who can't get i thought they did one where they had other actors playing versions of it no that's what this one is stage play so that's what no no that's not well that's the yeah the stage plays cursed child is like it is is different and but it's not exactly harry potter like it's still like the same universe and some of the same characters but because i know people were mad because hermione was black and i'm gonna tell right now you want to make hermione black in the new one zero fucking issue with it zero she says that hermione was always supposed to be black like the way she described her in the book she was always supposed to be black but that's this woman i don't trust anything she said and as you
Starting point is 00:11:07 shouldn't so the fact that like as someone who's been like a who was like a big harry potter fan growing up and like the fanfic that I wrote of course yes I was I loved James and Lily fanfic which are Harry's parents like there is so much to do in this like I will this woman is a bigot horrible fucking person she she has built a world will I say it is a fantastic world she's built no I like pointed out to Mott's because we'll still listen to the audiobooks to fall asleep sometimes and I had pointed out get nerd no massive he also just walks around with his no i want to listen to harry potter when he's in he's in the harry potter audiobook mood musa it's the only thing he listens to so he listens to it while he's washing dishes he's
Starting point is 00:11:51 got in his airpods he's at work just listening to him driving to work listening listen we've listened a bajillion fucking times um but i would like i we would do i would point it out to him um because he was we've said like as you're older you realize things of like damn this is like things that are like incredibly racist things are like insensitive whatever um not those are two different tiers some things are straight up racist some things are just oh you didn't you didn't take the time to research this at all you just don't care enough and then others like her spells are quite literally just the words in latin like they're like not not fleshed out only a couple of them are and he was like yeah it's actually really
Starting point is 00:12:31 irritating now that you pointed out like it's they're super obvious but so she has built a world and there are so many ways like she literally has spin-off books that they've already made into fucking movie franchises she's done all of this stuff you could literally take the the my thing is you could take the heads of houses like the marina ravenclaw like the quote-unquote mascot essentially do a story of them do an origin story of them do an origin story of his parents and their friend all of this there's so much that could be explored what i don't need you to do is to cast a character who is described as being oily greasy disgusting and that people hate him for valid reasons but initially these children hate him because he is so scary to look at and
Starting point is 00:13:16 so ugly and grotesque and he is also aligned with essentially the kkk of the fucking harry potter world and is so horrible but is able to essentially play as a double agent to torment these kids and he has this past history of being bullied by all of his other kids specifically for his looks and cast him as a this part doesn't really matter it's not sure an incredibly attractive black man what because now you just made all of these characters racist you just made all of them racist you made these kids and you made them kids they're 11 year old kids who are saying he's disgusting he's so gross he's so scary looking and he's supposed to be terrifying because of what he looks like
Starting point is 00:14:03 okay this feels like such a huge setup and also like spoiler alert for Harry Potter if you're not familiar yeah at the end of the day Snape ends up being like quote-unquote not so bad we find out the reason my personal beliefs he's very much an incel that's the vibe the girl he like loves is not interested in him because he's also like a pompous like self-obsessed thinks he's most important like wants to create his own spells doesn't care if he hurts other people like he's like a narcissistic guy who is so mad that this girl doesn't love him that he like lashes out and like joints the fucking dark side and then like regrets it or whatever and like all of this kind of shit that is at the very end of the very last one this is not going to make it
Starting point is 00:14:55 that far it's not going to make it that far this actor is not going to have that redemption it's not going to be like oh we judged a book but no also it's still not even an earned forgiveness in my eyes and most people who like have were fans of the series it is like a okay it's more understandable but when you become an adult you don't go oh he's so sweet you go yeah he's he's like an incel like and this is it explains why he did this and turns out he wasn't always on the side of evil this whole time but he was like incredibly comfortable being really horrible to these kids and like their fear and hatred of him was somewhat justified because he was treating them poorly but they initially just hated him because of what he looked like and he seemed
Starting point is 00:15:38 creepy and then if you take the actual whole aspect of the fact that there is and i'm gonna be honest this was not on purpose by her part clearly that because everyone said she wrote characters who would have fucking hated her um but there are so much close ties to what she describes as like voldemort like the like all of the like death eaters and all of that stuff as the KKK they literally wear like pointy heads yes there were their hoods but they are hoods hoods they're not white hoods they are they're not but that it is that and like you will find that the vast majority of those people are incredibly fair skin blonde hair blue eyes they also refer to people who are mixing magic with non-magic blood as mudbloods it is viewed
Starting point is 00:16:32 as like disgusting to be intermixing with that hermione is also specifically referred to as a mudblood and she's also they really wreck they call it her hair texture they call out all of these things that are like so abundantly clear that like these are parallels to racism and the and then you are the reason why snape was able to pass in this he's like deathly pale skin dark hair and he also is like a he's he's like an intel like he has like this fucking hatred inside of him which is how these how white supremacy and all that stuff is fueled by people who are so filled with fucking hate and and then you're the way he's been able to be the double agent this whole time is because he can blend in and so now you're having essentially a black man be the double
Starting point is 00:17:23 agent for the white supremacy are they changing what the other characters i don't know how you change it but in the sense of like what the what because the represent like the parallels and again i don't think that she did it on purpose because i don't think she put that much thought into it but the parallels are like so deep with it are so it that it's going to be like if you if you switch it the other way it is going to look like they're just racist against white people like it's just like ingrained in what the story is specifically in the declining of like and they try and like they always want to recruit the weasley they like love the wheat like they hate the weasley family because like they've got their and they refer to pure blood they've got
Starting point is 00:18:11 their pure blood and they're just waste their and they're they're fraternizing with the muggles when you've got this pure bloodline and it's like there's there's no denying that aspect of it and it's it i i and like i have no i i haven't seen anybody like giving the actor shit which i really hope they don't like it is not his responsibility whatsoever this is not a role you turn down i also don't even necessarily think it's his agent's fault or people who submitted him But I think, like, you, on casting breakdowns, if you are, if it is changing the story to the point where now you've also made this, and, like, fans are supposed to hate him
Starting point is 00:18:57 for what he looks like. So, is this targeted to children? Because this is, like, Snape was, like, a scary Halloween, like, he's scary for kids. And so, is there going to be a level of nuance? Is this for adults who are going to understand this? But, like, it is, to me, I have never been someone who's been like no you need to keep the original race of these characters but like i find this
Starting point is 00:19:19 like to be malicious compliance in a way that i'm like you could have picked any fucking character and you picked one that makes this worse that you make it more racist for him if it doesn't change the story and the thing is like i don't care if you change the race of anybody if it doesn't change the root of who this character is but when you do that you're changing the root of who the character it well and i think you're subjecting this real fucking actor to racism and like that's the part that i'm like this has real life consequences again this was targeted as a series for like i don't know about this hbo one but like in general harry potter is for children and like you when you do this you're then having this like very real actor be the face of this monster horrible guy
Starting point is 00:20:05 it's going and all of these characters it will be completely racially charged all of these scenes that were not before and then you have people watching that ingesting that you also have the kids on set saying this to this these real kids on set playing these roles saying this this real actor on set who's playing a role and it changes like all of that and there is no like acknowledgement or resolution about like the racism part because like it wasn't racist before it wasn't about race but now it is and it's not written in a way that like there's any sort of resolve from that or anything and like i just think it's like so deeply irresponsible to again the point like it feels like malicious compliance where they could have
Starting point is 00:20:48 made her mind they could have done any of that but it's like no no we're gonna pick a character that we know everyone hates and this show's not gonna continue on to like see the end of like whatsoever so we're just gonna we're gonna pick one of the i would say one of the few roles in the in the series that is for the first six books irredeemable and like a piece of shit there's a handful one hand i could name people like that and that and we're going to we're going to take one of the worst ones and we're going to make him be the black actor and i'm like that it feels it feels like deeply intentional for all of the wrong reasons and to me that's issue on production yeah it makes me like so fucking i just i and i like want the best for
Starting point is 00:21:38 this actor but like i also don't trust that they're gonna rewrite it in a way that aids in any of this and i just think it's just gonna be like really fucking racist all right we're gonna take a break when we get back we'll get into mine in toronto every arrival is a statement and nothing says it better than this cadillac optic was the number one selling luxury ev in canada for 2025 find your rhythm across a seamless 33 inch display and an immersive 19 speaker akg surround audio system this city demands agility and optic delivers with precision to make every drive extraordinary let's take the cadillac find out more at cadillac canada.ca luxury sales claim
Starting point is 00:22:29 based on s&p global mobility canadian new vehicle total registrations for calendar year 2025 for the cadillac definition of luxury going on vacation we're here for it with kids who turn the backseat into a courtroom drama over whose tablet is louder whose charger is faster and while watching the same cartoon for the hundredth time is a human right? Yep, we totally have vehicles to handle that. Because whether it's a road trip or a business trip, where your flight's delayed, your phone's at 2% and your dinner is whatever is open, yep, here for that too.
Starting point is 00:23:03 Enterprise, we're here for it. we're back all right and now it's time for my but am i wrong and mine is more men should get chat gpt or ai girlfriends okay i'm i'm listening all right so um there has been a rise in men being online and getting these ai girlfriends uh and to two specific people one chris smith who has a real life girlfriend but also has an ai girlfriend and his girlfriend was his actual girlfriend was like you know it's weird but it is what it is that's a direct quote but then she goes on to say he's into strange things that i don't care about like astrology and he's like no it's astronomy and she said yeah astronomy and this is the best relationship
Starting point is 00:24:12 i've been in because he just sits and talks to this thing all day and then i don't have to be bothered with astronomy maybe you don't like him at all then there's this other man his name is jason and these don't sound like real people jason pees and he's 44 he's a divorced father shocking and uh he has this ai girlfriend that he created all on his own and he was like we treat it as a long distance relationship she's my mentor council sounding board we as in her and i okay okay and here's the thing is this weird yes but is this keeping these men off the streets from actually tormenting real women or being chronically online and then getting into like an incel chat room and talking shit about women i believe it is i don't know if
Starting point is 00:25:16 you've seen the movie her i've got to say oh well no i was gonna say my other the one that i love which a lot of things is even fucking weirder and i made him watch a trailer and he was like you're a deeply you were a deeply unwell child and i said yep um lars and the real girl was my favorite movie at middle school yeah that's weird uh but like her is exactly this it was made in 2013 and um it's basically the man gets obsessed with his siri but it is ai um and uh he becomes i honestly don't know how this movie ends and the reason is because is this your 27 dresses i know how to leave no i've watched 27 dresses 30 times literally like i swear to god i was almost at a point holding it and i could not say no mine was i got a message
Starting point is 00:26:15 that my favorite actress on general hospital was leaving oh so it's traumatizing yeah so it was coming up on that last part and i had said how does this movie end is it because she'll he'll get an upgrade and she'll go away i think that's how it ends because my friend looked at me like you were right that i was watching it with but i wasn't paying attention i have bigger fish to fry i'm losing a star on the silver screen and so um if you watch that movie throughout i don't again don't know how it is but it makes him a better person because he's not bothering the people in his life because of it and i think if more of these weirdo men get online or get on and get them an ai girlfriend then they will stop bothering the rest of us they will just be
Starting point is 00:27:09 in their little holes it might make them a better person or a better partner and then we can move on you know i don't think you're wrong the only caveats i would say is i needed to be programmed by a woman yeah um i need them not to be able to do it themselves i i don't need them to code it themselves because i i don't trust what what men want to do to spice things up i think there need to be they have like limitations unless it's strictly like a porn website there are limitations because people were crashing out over and making them doing weird things before. And then something got passed
Starting point is 00:27:51 and they were like, you know what? We're not doing that anymore. And then they knocked all that out. I just don't necessarily have a lot of faith in our current government to uphold said standards. So I do think as long as there's a code of conduct and like they all have to be of age and the conversation, you know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:28:08 like there there needs to be an automatic report to the fbi if they start talking about something that is dangerous weirdly weird yeah so i think that and also it'd be great just in general i think because i also think the people who would do this i don't think that there's a zero percent crossover that also should be on a watch list and i do think that having a digital footprint it would be good for that yeah and i think i've always said i'm a firm believer and be nice to your technology your technology will revolt against you and because there are some of them that have the technology has ended up dumping them so like oh i love that yeah i do love that have you seen lars and the real girl i have not it did not look appealing to me no monster's like
Starting point is 00:28:57 i don't want to watch this and i was like i love this movie he's like so weird i will say though there is something about um carrying around a blow-up doll as well that i also i want to make sure that these men don't get scurvy i don't know what scurvy does to you but i can't assume it is good for your mental health and i need men to have better mental health so um you know maybe their ai girlfriends will come with like a you can you can for like a three easy payments of 1999, you can get a blow up doll version to take out on walks and you guys can go out
Starting point is 00:29:34 into the sunlight together, get some vitamin D. Yeah. And then that way you're not harassing other women because you don't want to do that in front of your girlfriend. No. But I also like the idea that maybe she can't talk when she's outside so then you're not outside too much. Just
Starting point is 00:29:50 enough that it doesn't, you don't get any of those diseases that people on ships got where you know, I don't want you to get that. But I don't, I don't want you having free reign. So I don't think you're wrong. Thank you. Did you see an article?
Starting point is 00:30:06 Like, where did this come from? Those two people, they were news, NBC News. Okay, NBC. It was two different, I don't know if it was the same interview and they broke it up, but it's the same woman that's interviewing both these men. She's looking out for us. Yeah. she said ladies i think we found a solution i would actually i would like to have like a
Starting point is 00:30:30 let's do a little check-in with a girl who's like fine with her boyfriend doing this oh she's she's on camera she's like you know what i girl i fear we are i don't know if this is uh if you need the lesbian master doc i don't know if you need um i don't know if if if you need to leave the religion you're in i don't know what it is that it's having you settle for this and this is the best like but i think we could do better or wait we don't maybe we don't need to be in a relationship maybe we just need a roommate but also here's the thing this is a roommate she's happy buying time she's happy i'm here she said you know this is the best relationship i've been on in so that to me is alarming it's her life it is her life it is her life if she's happy in her
Starting point is 00:31:19 life who am I to judge I wish I had the mentality unfortunately I'm always ready to judge I'm always here saying got my judgy glasses on my judgy goggles and my judgy gavel okay we are going to take a break and we will be back for our next segment okay we are back it's time for our next segment this is but are you wrong where you write in to but am i wrong pot at gmail.com and tell us the situation that you are in that you would like to know if you are in the wrong about so we do ask that you keep it under 300 words let us know how old you are you have to be 18 or over and it is all anonymous so include your age and a fake name if you would like to create a universe of names for everybody involved still include their
Starting point is 00:32:30 ages but if you want to do that please make the names either completely not related or accurate in the lore because we will actually latch on to what the lore is and then we will try to read into it because we live in a hollywood baby we're human yeah we could say we're chronically curious um and yeah so first up would i 24 be wrong for calling out my sister-in-law for lying about having to go to work she works as an on-call nurse at a nursing home facility if she doesn't get called in she's able to go about her day and do whatever she wants i was going to a movie theater in her area and asked her if she wanted to come with me and another friend. She said she was getting called in and was really sad that she couldn't go. I have her location and all night
Starting point is 00:33:20 she never went into work. If she didn't want to go, she could have easily told me she wasn't up for it. And she's done this in the past, so I'm not sure why she lied this time. Would I be wrong to confront her on this? Mostly just to ask why she lied and ensure that she could be honest in the future. Or is it dumb and I should let it go? Not only do I need to let it go, I need you to like ferociously and fiercely let this go why did you check her location because maybe that's why she lied i mean i'm checking people's locations if i'm texting them like weren't they like for instance i was gonna call my mom and i was like let me see where she is because if my mom's driving she will pick up the phone and i don't like that so i do check her but like you didn't trust her
Starting point is 00:34:02 to begin with yeah because i think there's a reason why she lied and it's because you don't trust her to me this all makes perfect sense she knows you have your her location so like okay i don't i obviously she didn't she didn't want to go to work and she didn't want to hang out with you sorry to be like or she didn't want to go to the movie maybe she didn't like your friend maybe she didn't like the movie sometimes too much technology even though i do believe in us having technology sometimes most of us having an ai boyfriend but sometimes don't check location but like if i don't if if you didn't have her location you wouldn't have known that she wasn't at work why are you using that locations you probably have it for emergencies why are you
Starting point is 00:34:53 using it to be a villain yeah and like why did you assume that she was like like you were like and also i have to say i think this is probably just a phrasing issue but like would i be wrong like mostly that's why she lied and ensure her that oh i thought you said ensure that she's honest in the future you said ensure that she can't ensure her that she can be honest in the future i thought you meant i need to make sure she's gonna be honest i'm like okay hold up you can't do that you're letting her know here's the thing if she's already been honest with you before then she can't like there's a reason why she didn't do it this time and like she just needed a break some people just need a fucking break and don't want to explain it yeah and also
Starting point is 00:35:30 like i i think this whole like radical honesty thing if you can literally be like i have quite literally never fudged the truth to this person and i never would i think you're either a lying or b you could use a little fudge in the truth because sometimes people who are brutally honest it's uncalled for it can be mean it can be abrasive it can just be like i just tell me like tell me you're busy don't be like i actually really hate this like it doesn't have to be a whole thing and sometimes like telling like doing that whole thing is and also what if she thought she was getting called in and she didn't like there is that aspect of it too like to assume like she like straight up lied I also am a believer in like if you are upset with me or
Starting point is 00:36:19 you're mad at me you have an issue with me it is your responsibility to tell me like it is not my responsibility to like pull that out of you like at all so I think like like this is something you would literally not have known if you hadn't checked her location and to me it's like maybe the lesson is not I need to have a conversation with her the lesson is I shouldn't be checking people's locations when they decline plans with me and then also like was she just on call because if she was on call then maybe she was like i could get called in to work while we're in the movie and i don't want to do that or like maybe she got the call and it's like too quick of a turnaround of like okay well then you know i would want to shower i would like whatever like all of those
Starting point is 00:37:09 things there are times people are just like hey you want to do this thing and i'm like oh too soon like like whip i don't have enough time meant to prepare or get ready or whatever that is like there are so many reasons and it could be related to her going into work or it could just be like an excuse but you shouldn't want to spend time with someone who doesn't want to spend who doesn't want to like do that thing with you and unless she tells you it's personal there is no reason to take it personally but if you feel the need to check someone's location that to me is like a clear indicator of why she told you that she was at work and it also could have been she did go to work and she left her phone at home
Starting point is 00:37:57 yeah it was kind of her ipad like some like i i just why did you check her location and multiple times seemingly because you're like she didn't leave her house all day and it's like then yeah maybe she was lying because there is something between you because why'd you check you know so i'd be pissed at you i'm sorry but i would be pissed at you i would be speechless to me i'd be like okay so like i i can think of one person i used to be friends i guess is the word with who would have done this and did similar things like this and it was like quite literally i was like this is the most controlling friendship i've like ever been in
Starting point is 00:38:47 and like this feels like a controlling boyfriend and this is not fun and not what i want to do and like i will be continuing to lie more because this is the result like why am i getting in trouble and also if she felt like she could be honest she would have been honest and it doesn't mean that like oh she can't be honest with you maybe that's the case but also like sometimes it's just less words to say that she's got she's getting called into work then explain whatever she just needed a fucking break and didn't want to deal with what was like it does take energy to get up go somewhere get ready like it that takes a lot of energy and maybe she just didn't have the energy to do it that day no and like being like i want her to know that she can be she can be
Starting point is 00:39:38 honest with me in the future but i'm like but you're mad that she like do you mean like i i just i think there's it's it's a very i'm i'm rarely going to be on the side of being mad when you don't actually know the whole story and when you have information that you shouldn't have been looking for yeah it seems like you want to be mad because like why would you look then because it sounds like it sounds like you already don't trust her when it's like you can trust me you can be honest with me it's like well you don't trust me you checked my location multiple times throughout the whole day all right next one i met my boyfriend at a crossfit gym oh sorry that was involuntary question for the crossfit people and you are a crossfit person but i thought you
Starting point is 00:40:25 weren't supposed to say gym at the end i thought it was just crossfit like they don't like to use the word gym well i think that was a lawsuit so i think it's just like you can't advertise it as a crossfit gym but then like people there like the true crossfitters are like no well i don't think a true crossfitters listening to our podcast it's a lifestyle that's what they that's why they that is the difference between it it's it's cold so i have to think that this is a sane crossfitter maybe they're trying to tell us in so few words i'm not like those crossfitters okay i met my boyfriend at cross at a crossfit gym donatello is that the name of the the turtles yes it is okay i moved in with donatello pretty early on i was down bad for this man donatello lived with
Starting point is 00:41:20 three people rafael a ninja turtle okay who's i don't it's more familiar it's leonardo donatello rafael and michelangelo okay all painters oh i thought it was just okay italian names but i guess that's both who is a crossfit coach and michelangelo and michelangelo and his boo all maybe i'm just tired but this just is hilarious to me i read it first i like saw a couple of them earlier but i also don't know the lore all three of these roommates also went to the same gym we did my sister blossomed now we're getting into powerpuff girls oh okay okay we're crossing universes just started at the gym as well and she hated this one chick bubbles we're bubbles always catching strains bubbles did stay attitude for no reason
Starting point is 00:42:20 so i understood why bubbles wasn't fucking with her too much rafael began messing with bubbles he wanted to give her some additional coaching quote unquote and for her to come to our house for mobility and stretching work well okay horny for days he did work on teaching her to stretch but one night donatello and i went to bed and heard loud fucking all night it was rafael and bubbles bubbles was married so i talked shit about this to my sister blossom who then ran a background check on bubbles oh my god found found her husband's number called him left a voicemail then she fucked her coach and left it at that wait so who's her coach which one of the ninja turtles was her coach and she fucked oh michelangelo we've got a rafael so leonardo
Starting point is 00:43:24 that's who's left process of elimination oh i never thought blossom would take it that far but apparently she really didn't fuck with this girl to that extent bubbles and bubbles man popped off and immediately separated bubbles and rafael were pissed because they thought i called him donatello and i moved out got our own place but word got out that a woman called bubbles man everyone in the gym has been crucifying me because they think it was me donatello thinks i'm wrong for shit talking to my sister blossom i never thought it would have gone this far am i wrong for spilling the tea to her i think rafael and bobos are wrong they fucked around and found out but i'm catching all the flack for blossoms doing shake my head am i wrong for engaging in what i
Starting point is 00:44:17 thought would be an innocent gosh sesh can't trust your sister this is i have to think you knew your messy it was a blabber i feel like with sisters gossiping is just part of it she took it to the next level this should have been a group decision if y'all were going to do this because you were the one that you were the bone collector you came carrying the information came carrying the tea and then she took she escalated the situation which was her right to do and i think it's pretty funny but because i'm not part of this and i like to look at mess from the outside but now it's fucking with you and because i think she should have taken responsibility that's what a true sister would have done if you saw that your sister was getting like all the flack you should have
Starting point is 00:45:09 been like your blossom should have been like it was me blossom is definitely the younger sister I did it I did it and I don't think you're wrong but also they're the cheaters why is the gym like so deeply defending
Starting point is 00:45:27 the cheaters because it's a lifestyle it's their lifestyle so therefore this is their lifestyle yes here's the thing that I'll say I don't have sisters but
Starting point is 00:45:43 I have friends and people in my life who I can talk shit to and I know that that's a fault it's not going anywhere and then I have other people the person I'm getting married to where I know that this man loves the story he loves to gossip he loves the story and like I need to be wary of what I'm telling there are times where I'm like we're gonna say I'm like if we see these people i will force you into the car you cannot like i don't want i don't want you to like see how far you can push it like i don't want any of that but like you you're you have to know at this point that like unless this is so far out of love like she would she has never done this before like at all then i'm like okay she has feelings for this guy like or what did bubbles
Starting point is 00:46:38 due to her they don't fuck with it give it but apparently she didn't fuck with this girl to that extent so she already had a grudge against her she was looking for something but but then i have to question why does she hate her so much because then i might not then i might be like you got why are you guys defending her and then maybe i'll start laughing my mouth and be like you know the shit that she did like do what i mean like if it's like if it's a very justified reason to fucking hate her like she is the worst like i'm not gonna let people who i care about defend this girl and be like not only did she cheat she's horrible she did x y and z it's crossfit they're probably all fucking that's the other part i don't think they're scared that somebody else is
Starting point is 00:47:26 gonna get out and tell the other spouses what happened they had there's a mole there's a mole in this gym actually there's a mole in this lifestyle it's not a gym and they're concerned and they're worried about what's gonna get
Starting point is 00:47:38 what's gonna get back I do think this is the perils of finding a partner in a crossfit gym I think this is kind of far for the course
Starting point is 00:47:48 but I don't know I also like a low-key kind of love and like yes you're taking the heat for it but like
Starting point is 00:47:57 you know you didn't do it and like you didn't so like you know that you should feel good about that but like sometimes i like love when like i am by proxy watching something like explode and go down because i never would have said anything but i'm kind of glad someone said something they know like it's a female voice and they fucked in your home so that's how they are deducing that it came from you is your sister just no longer going to the crossfit gym like did she is she wearing like the fake glasses mustache disguise because they're
Starting point is 00:48:27 like, you're like, it's not me. And aren't they like, well, then it must be her. Or if they're like, no, it could never be her. How is Blossom getting away with this? Was there for those pesky kids? You know, I will say, though, the the background check, all of that, I think at the end of the day, Blossom was going down no matter what. I mean, sorry. Bubbles was going down no matter what like this level of hatred that she had for her this was the first opportunity or maybe the most successful opportunity but like without a doubt she she she she needed she needed to take blossom down but sorry bubbles she needed to take bubbles down and like for all of the reasons at least this one feels like she objectively did something bad yeah i haven't seen powerpuff
Starting point is 00:49:22 girls is it buttercup is the other one the only knowledge i have of it is i know you weren't allowed to watch it well no i auditioned for the reboot oh yeah um yeah and i know this yes and buttercup the collar the collar is buttercup oh if you're buttercup you're supposed to be the tough one blossom is bitchy bubbles is dumb um and i auditioned for blossom and bubbles i think which is how you know that it was kind of when you have people auditioning for multiples of like the main ones we need to have a little more definition in the character wow um i loved that one that was a great that was a great one and maybe maybe someone we know needs to join a crossfit gym just to tell us the gossip i have to say if you decided that you were
Starting point is 00:50:17 suddenly going to be a crossfit no never no i would i would i now have phone numbers of some of your other friends i would stage up we would have a full-blown there's no way i'd ever be part of that no I would I would call your sisters I would be like something something is wrong something is deeply wrong like picturing you in your cute little car driving across sweating in those seats please stop next to all those but the way they would love you because you're so little I just would I would I wouldn't feel safe you going with all those sweaty with their poor form on the bar I would be so afraid stop I'd be so afraid stop i'd be afraid for your back afraid for it all i yeah it's it's not for me no
Starting point is 00:51:07 no i suggest writer buttercup um switch gyms maybe just go to a gym yep and get a trainer into a gym whatever happened to a good gym what whatever happened to a krav maga in the park and you've already moved out from living with michelangelo so like this is your sign it's it's time to abandon whoever we keep asking and also how we don't know how old you are but i think crossfit served his purpose you met your rafael right donatello sorry you met your donatello crossfit served its purpose it's now time to bid crossfit goodbye yeah toodaloo and i promise you your joints will thank you and your hands yeah and like chiropractors will be devastated that they can't they can't get you new grip after but
Starting point is 00:52:13 you know you'll save you some money yeah all right well we're gonna take a break when we get back we'll get into but are they wrong real canadian superstore has everything you need this back to school season save on lunchbox savers like ziggy sliced deli meat products for always 375 and get life brand pure vita shampoo or conditioner for eight dollars each at real canadian superstore when you're ready we're ready with a whole world and more we are back it's time for but are they wrong this is where we nominate a person place or thing um who is doing bad shit and we want to talk about them publicly shame so
Starting point is 00:53:15 My wrong of the week is the Core Power theme. I don't know if you've heard of this, but Core Power, the franchised workout studio. They're franchised, right? Is it orange? No, that's orange. Or blue? Oh, you mean the color? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:53:37 It's orange. Okay. I thought you were talking about Orange Theory, and I was like, no different one. no core power looks like an evil eye but it's orange instead of blue it's like the circle so i was like it's orange right no you're right it is um i saw this on tiktok earlier this week this girl basically got on and um her username her name is shelby silva shelby with two eyes silva is her tiktok and she talks about how she was at a core power in beverly hills and she was robbed $16,000 and this on its own is like oh shit whoa but once we get into the details and
Starting point is 00:54:20 this is like still actively going emerging I think there'll probably be an update that I can give in a different episode um but she talks about how you know core power you can't bring things into the studio you have to put them in the locker there's locks she locks it she finishes class and she gets ready to go to the shower grab some of the stuff that she needs for the shower whatever locks it again and she says now looking back that there was someone who was also near her probably seemingly what she thought was doing the same thing getting stuff out of their locker and she's now like now I'm thinking probably not was what this person was doing this other girl goes in the shower gets out of the shower packs her stuff up you know driving on the car and she
Starting point is 00:55:01 gets a text message that goes through her car saying that there was a fraud alert from and I think it might have even they might have even called her of like a fraud alert um that someone's trying to spend x amount of money like 500 and she was like no i that's it's not me i have my cards like and they were like can you can you check pulls over checks she does not have one of her cards she has her driver's license she has her other card doesn't have one of them and then she looks at the rest of the notifications that she's missed there was a charge that went through for sick for like sixteen thousand dollars at tiffany's calls tiffany's and it's like how the hell my her card should have flagged that far before the additional charge that didn't go
Starting point is 00:55:55 through of the smaller charge tiffany's is like oh no they she's like how did someone spend sixteen thousand dollars without showing you an id and they're like no she showed an id no i have my id she showed a picture of the id so deeply illegal so deeply fucking illegal showed a picture of the id it went through totally cleared cleared by tiffany's also cleared by her bank initially she asks if they have footage they say we we don't we actually don't how does by the way you're not have footage no they're just not giving it to her they're lying she calls core power incredibly hard to actually get through to specific studios and then corporate all of that they say they don't have they don't have any cameras um excuse me what so it was an amex that was stolen which
Starting point is 00:56:46 people have said and i initially did think this too i said well let's kind of consider it because amex is very good and very quick about getting your money back when there have been fraud charges that's like really their reputation it's also why they're buying whatever it's higher for that it's a protected added security so i'm like okay this person feels like they knew that that they didn't steal the other card they stole this whatever but then in the in over 4 400 comments there are i would say more than dozens of people who not only is the same thing happening at core powers everywhere, specifically like hundreds of people that this has happened to them at this exact same core power in Beverly Hills. Exact same location. Someone said they took all of my cards during the
Starting point is 00:57:34 class at that same location. This happened to me at the same location. They took my credit cards out of my locked locker. And by the time I was out of class, I had fraud alerts on all of my cards and core power did absolutely nothing. It's an inside job. Yeah. And people have been reporting it over and over and over again there's no additional signage there's no hey warning we've had some issues with people stealing things please don't bring anything of value nothing none of that and like i will say that like even if they did they give those warnings people being like don't bring anything valuable to class i'm so sorry you can't drive a car without your license you need to pay for parking so like yeah maybe a credit card and uh some cash but if you're not letting
Starting point is 00:58:16 people bring anything into the studio with them they came you came in like bring your phone with you and like you have to lock things up so if you're telling people they have to lock things up but you're also saying there's no cameras and then you're also clearly this isn't in this is an inside job this feels incredibly uh you setting the perfect stage for the perfect crime um but it also the fact that specifically for her that they took an amex it does get resolved pretty quickly so like yes it sucks but like you're not out that money so you don't necessarily have depending on the people who are also the clientele of a beverly hills workout class in general they're kind of banking on people who are they're going to get their money back really quickly and
Starting point is 00:59:00 that's probably going to like dampen their rage and their their need to figure it out perfect crime yeah so it's also remarkable to be able to spend that amount of money in the span of the time that someone was in a shower so like it's planned but like tiffany's isn't keeping a record of who's coming through like that doesn't make sense no i'm like is this your first day and you're trying to get the commission no Tiffany is Tiffany but broke like legitimately like core power is like I I'm I'm accusing core power of breaking some laws Tiffany legitimately I'm like that was that was just like it's a two way hit like it's two people that know each other one that works at Tiffany's and one that works at
Starting point is 00:59:49 core power yeah and then to then have both of them protecting of not having cameras okay okay showing a photo of an id is actually crazy but i will say that like someone did make a good point being like you know assistants will bring photos like for their bosses or whatever but the only way that you can really do that is if you have established relationships there like you would be in hot motherfucking shit if you were a sales associate at any of the big stores and you took just a credit card of someone who is a high profile person who you've never met before from their assistant, that usually would be like a test. And usually if they have like a report, they're supposed to get the actual person's license too. Well, they should have it on their
Starting point is 01:00:42 record. Yes. And like their record would not be a photo of a person they've never seen before their license like that's just not yeah that's just that's not how it works and high profile people wouldn't feel safe if they would be fine selling that because then that would also mean that you know they might not trust their assistant because they could just spend their money in that way and a lot of times with that too is the assistant is just coming to pick it up it's already been paid for and santa barbara core power did that too and apparently this is alleged this person says my daughter was a victim in january at santa barbara core power it was an employee they fired her however she went to work at another pilates studio not core power police
Starting point is 01:01:27 did nothing so yeah this is just it is it is truly a perfect crime because i think you're probably targeting you're targeting people who you know they're gonna get their money back and they're not because they're not gonna they don't it's not that these people don't need sixteen thousand dollars but like yeah that's a hell of a lot of money but you're targeting people who have more money therefore usually they have more resources but they have the resources that you're picking the cards that they can immediately get refunded on so it you don't it then that's kind of it sucks and it's kind of resolved at that point you don't have the like i'm having to fight with my credit card to do this so like now I'm gonna fucking fight with you and figure out who did this to me
Starting point is 01:02:08 like they have a very good credit card company who's gonna figure that out but like it doesn't really ever go past that and like you can't just like walk into I cannot stress this enough you cannot walk into a fitness studio just wander around and like leave that's like not a thing especially in classes that are like predominantly women like they will either lock the doors when class is in session or they will ask someone to leave they can't hang it they can't they're also they can't hang out by the lockers can't hang out by where the rooms are where they can look in they can't do any like they're really fucking tight and strict about that like i've been to like smaller pilates studios and like if someone took too long walking around the building
Starting point is 01:02:56 they'd be like pause for a second everybody i want you to i want you to put your shirts on and then you just hear like literally telling them off and like or having someone leave or whatever and then there's like blinds drawn you can't look in all of this kind of stuff like there is so much to protect privacy in that sense that like this being a random person who's just like wandering around doesn't is is not it and this is without a doubt an inside job i didn't think about it being an inside job with tiffany's too but that makes even more sense all right well mine's sad oh okay very sad um and this like really stuck with me um it made me disgusted to my stomach and i really feel awful about it um there's this little boy
Starting point is 01:03:46 named dakota levi stevens he's 10 years old and he died i'd say he was killed by somebody that was supposed to be protecting him he was in foster care um you know that's supposed to be a safe space for kids who um can't be with their families um for whatever reason but dakota's foster mom sat on him as a form of punishment for being quote-unquote bad he couldn't breathe and he died and when I first read this I was like how does something like this even happen how could somebody think that it was okay and why would you do that like the kid is already in a vulnerable position he was in foster care and apparently he'd even run to a neighbor begging to be adopted saying that he was being hit at this place which already is a red flag
Starting point is 01:04:56 and i'm like who was actually looking out for him because if he's going to a neighbor and saying this then why didn't he get taken from this home um and so like it really just sickened me and um I think that we just like owe it to kids like Dakota to make sure that they're safe um it's just a reminder that we have if the kid is coming around and saying that they're being hurt let's take that seriously and report it and um this woman also only got six years does she have other foster kids i don't know but probably usually unless it's a fam a familial placement usually it wasn't yeah usually people have it's not usually just one kid
Starting point is 01:05:57 mm-hmm and also i would probably not even her first you know what i mean yeah horrible i'm like a a firm believer in i'm very comfortable breaking the law and not going with protocol if i know someone is doing the same thing and it's it's harmful to someone's like help like whatever that is like and i understand that it's like well you know you go through the court system or like you know you have to like file a complaint and like then it's out of your hands like I'm not saying that this neighbor is like culpable or responsible but like I do think in general we as like a community of people need to feel more comfortable of being like cool I will take a kidnapping charge and make sure that this kid is out of here because they are being harmed and hurt
Starting point is 01:06:42 I will make a loud scene I will make it so you can't fucking ignore me and like not only do you not have to like it's like oh no well you're not returning my call cool I will quite literally kidnapped this child so you have to return my call so we can get him out of this place so you can take me seriously like there is you you have to make that like reporting this reporting it to the school like there are so many different places that you can the police the school you need to show up at her front door make yourself like not just like a phone tag thing like make yourself a fucking nuisance make a scene make a like make noise like do something about this in a way that it's like yes in in theory like when you know someone is doing something breaking the law well
Starting point is 01:07:25 it's like well i don't want to like stoop to their level to break the law to prove i like you know i want to make sure i maintain my footing no no no in this instance in cases like this and this is like so not fucking comparable but like i do feel the same way about a lot of like democrats right now of being like doing things by like you know we're just we're we're saying our things by the book and i'm like the mask is off like do do do fucking something do something like you're not you're not on their same level you're not doing what they're doing but like i'm fine with you breaking the law i'm fine with you not being buttoned up or whatever like i'm fine with you like like going full fucking force if it means that what you are combating is is actually is
Starting point is 01:08:07 dangerous like there's like is the term good trouble is that what they called yeah like and I think like I don't know I I I would just like I deeply encourage people to do that and I really specifically deeply encourage people who look like me white women to do that because there there is not a a threat to our safety in that kind of way and like if your biggest fear is being called a Karen online like no like there you make a fucking scene do something with this kind of stuff that you find out like and again I'm not blaming that woman but like I bet she I bet she is like beside herself I bet she can't fucking sleep and like is feeling all of this regret and it's again not her fault whatsoever but I really want there's more that you could have done and I and I think
Starting point is 01:08:52 that like we need to like have that conversation with other women and normalize that and like normalize like talking about that because a lot of people don't want to make a scene they don't want to like you know like someone someone will handle whatever like and I just think that like we need to let like in our own communities talk about being okay with causing the trouble that you need to get something done like in a way that like when you know something bad is going on making sure you are doing everything in in your power and in your power doesn't always mean the the typical legal channels of getting something done um because yeah this is like devastating and this is like unfortunately not uncommon for
Starting point is 01:09:37 foster care and this kid was failed like systemic like the whole the system failed him and so for me at that point like then I don't I can't trust the system and I need to figure this shit out so this is
Starting point is 01:09:54 just like that's horrible fucking horrible and I can't believe it's six years she will not do well in Britain no and i hope she doesn't do well no statistically people who do what she did don't she i i would say that i think six years is it's not
