Starting point is 00:00:00 hello hello i hated that yours or mine mine oh i was like i sounded beautiful take that back bitch it was beautiful stunning absolutely stunning welcome to another episode of see you next tuesday where we read the results from last week's episode of but am i wrong and uh share those results with you we discuss we he we ha we laugh we jump we swim and play we don't swim we got two not strong swimmers here hey yo we will not be lifeguarding your child's birthday party no no no not so much but we would have fun though oh we would love to attend yeah children love us we love children oh yes don't expect us to if somebody falls and like needs cpr i can do that oh i cannot yeah i think of me as more of the unpaid disney princess you do have
Starting point is 00:01:08 long limbs though so like if somebody's like a little too far you can just snatch them up and i mean you can't expect no you to swim to save them no no and i also i'm incredibly clumsy so i do see danger and try and prevent it from happening uh but sometimes i have a hard time with the words and i just go oh i did that to my mom yesterday when i was trying to be like hey can you can you move and i like excuse me i was trying to get around and i just went ah and he looked at me and i was like i forgot the words he goes do you mean to move and i was like yes that's that i did that a little bit too and he said damn i forgot about the um like history month video hey here every month is black history month it's fine we'll make it still i i i'm a we need to we
Starting point is 00:01:59 need to make a playlist a private we save all the ones to make yeah because there are so many funny ones and then there's also a lot of people like recommending our podcast so i think we need to make response videos so that people can get our vibe so thank you to all the people that have been recommending our podcast and other other people that are like i need a new podcast there was one video where numerous people recommended us oh my god thanks everyone that makes me so happy and i also love that there i will always see an influx of them when um an influencer who people like didn't know was conservative like gets outed and they're like well what am i gonna listen to now and everybody's like i know two bitches who you will have zero doubts about you might
Starting point is 00:02:44 think that they're a little too bold and embrace their views like yeah there you go there we go our listenership did go up 18 from this time last month so thank you guys thank you we're not doing any promo on our own so it has no and we did have a meeting where they said by the way can you start doing that again and we said for sure for sure for sure for sure yeah yeah yeah yeah once i get my cortisol levels to check it it's over for you and also because we talked about doing like promo stuff on our actual real cameras so it'll be high quality but my battery's stuck in mine and megan's supposed to help get it out i am but i think it might be easier for me just to go to sammy's yep sammy's there's another there's a place in arkansas that's also a camera place and it's just
Starting point is 00:03:28 somebody's name in the same manner and i couldn't remember which one was here they they they love a name like that yes it's where you get everything and i'm like okay but they all have different names i know the other one's bedford's oh that sounds chicer than sam it does but it's not they're the same store they look the exact same oh love it love it love it love it um so once you get your cortisol levels in check and i get this battery out this camera it might need a new spring so it might need to be uh repaired but also that might mean i just need to get a new camera uh-huh then we'll be in business yeah so you guys sit tight shit's happening i'm gonna pee in a jug and we're gonna figure this shit out remind me to show you what it looks like i think
Starting point is 00:04:17 i already know what it looks like i was gonna i'm gonna do a what's in my bag of like what i have to do because mott's today was like are you gonna do it today because what's that the way that i have to refrigerate it or put it on ice and i said you should get just like a cooler i'm getting a bucket with ice yeah like i'm i'm not putting that in my fucking fridge yeah and uh but so she was saying she was like you know it can be room temperature for she was like i don't want it like i prefer if you just like kept it cold like didn't let it get warm by any means but she was like but uh and it's odd because it's warm coming out your body i know that i was like don't you want it to be at its natural state but no because the science of this is fucking crazy because also what the
Starting point is 00:05:09 fuck do you mean that you're like we want to test your cortisol levels throughout the day why am i peeing into one big thing aren't they all gonna mix up together oh true i'm so fucking confused by that and i'm like okay um but uh macho's like are you gonna record at melissa's tomorrow and i was like no and he's like oh i was wondering if you were gonna do it there and i was like you thought i was gonna bring my little my little piss seat that i have to put on top of the toilet that has a funnel that goes into this you thought i was gonna bring that to my friend with contamination ocds home and then you put it in my refrigerator i was like there's no shot i don't even want to do that to my own home you think i'm gonna subject her home to that that's insane
Starting point is 00:05:53 like no fucking way but i also he hasn't seen the entire mechanism yet so i think he'd be singing a different tune um but uh i can't do it until i think i was able to make like a because she was like she was like i would really recommend getting an appointment to drop them off like to drop it off the sample um and not just do like a standby because she's like i don't know that you really want to be sitting in the waiting room with a jar if you're like a handle of your pee and so i can't do it until i think either monday or tuesday is the day i do it and then i drop it on off was it howard hughes that would piss in jars i don't know but if that's la culture then i'm at home baby yeah he used to have like urine bottles by the way that is a mental illness um
Starting point is 00:06:50 and i know that because my home before i was born it used to be a group home and the person who had the room that i had when i was like a teenage or pre-teen teenager um he is an artist i don't know if he's with us currently and then he designs movie posters and he also um would piss in jars and bottles and then my dad would like go up in there and it was just like all that and he told that like after i moved in and i was like cool oh it was because he had ocd and yeah i was like it's not paranoid yeah it's like a specific one there's like a sub it's it's kind of like um with a mania of like a religious obsession or whatever like there's some i don't know what it is but there's like a it is like a it's a diagnostic criteria like it's a thing that
Starting point is 00:07:37 people do when they're going through something um but uh his were clear mine is orange and mine's got a it's got a big opening so you put your big urethra right up there the way that it just occurred to me that i'm like what are the instructions that they give for people with penises because i'm gonna tell you right now straight men are just gonna want to they're gonna want to plunge that clunge they're gonna say i see a hole i must stick my dick in there and piss in there damn that'd be so much more fucking convenient i know do you know you lost your i lost my girl my shiwi yeah they have two different names i couldn't remember which one you had i think i've had i think i had the go girl was my second one i think the first one which
Starting point is 00:08:23 i forgot we even used on beauty break was the shiwi nice that would make it so much fucking easier also because melissa it's for my first pee of the day it can't be my first pee i have to like pee a little yeah you gotta get a little bit out because that's that that pee is is strong but i feel like don't you like pee throughout the night no oh i'm a i pee about three or four times a night if it's a good a good day if i don't pee at all at night i don't know what i like if i have to physically get up to pee in the middle like i will be i'm mad because it takes me so fucking long to fall asleep yeah that would ruin it um if i keep my eyes closed so what i did was i got um motion lights in my bathroom and so it it still stays low but enough where i can see
Starting point is 00:09:23 through um and then i just i kind of just like close my eyes and then try to go back but um it's gotten better i used to like just be up but now i can just sleep but i do pee all my life i've had to pee a lot when i go to sleep i pee a ton before i go to bed and i pee so much i still do i pee before i go to sleep i just my bladder just doesn't hold a lot just tiny bladder yeah that's that's a tough one yeah um but i'm i don't know like when i'm peeing in a jar you like piss a little and then you stick that under there the way that i have an entire seat that goes on top of my toilet seat and i go so i just i i do a little shimmy and then i stand up and i slipped that under me i know it is because my grandmother had no was that the first thing
Starting point is 00:10:14 that crossed my mind i said i have seen this and i have seen this at a home when we were cleaning out my grandmother dad this is not fun but anyway this isn't piss talk this is see next go piss girl all right so now that piss talk is over with why don't we get into what we're actually here for and that is reading the results from the last episode of what am i wrong it is episode 133 i love how many people are now like participating because we're putting them out a lot closer see their fucking messages yep and we're putting it out closer to the one the episodes airing too and i think people are also really loving your graphic design skills yeah yeah and um the person that is always complaining about them didn't complain this
Starting point is 00:11:13 week even though i put a little dedication to them within one of the graphics and i don't even know if they got it but she does look special it's their icon on monopoly go oh my god it was for them shout out um but i got a lot of people saying that they loved it so um i'm never stopping never stop never stopping too many too many i don't know what's right there i was confused because i opened our instagram and it's like this is not the kind of reels we usually have on our instagram where are cooking like you scroll down and then we've got oh yeah i just saw a beautiful rainbow rice crispy one yes like back to i don't want yeah that's not i don't want people we have
Starting point is 00:12:04 food this is all the content we have there's no faces no there it's food and home home decor okay don't show me a face no i just see hands that's the most i'll take so first megan this picture genius thank you so much we're artists yes we are and i i think that we really have found the calling you should have seen me though that like the faces that i make when i know i have to google something that like i i know what i want but i need to be very careful with how i pick my words for the examples they're going to show me do you do it on incognito no incognito will give you way freakier results i know immediately incognito doesn't have any of the parental controls i don't have parental controls turned on but i you know i have some
Starting point is 00:12:59 that that form of google has a little bit of decorum it's not going to just show me finger blasting in the live in the flesh yes so i did have to search up i said sexual hand gestures because i didn't want to just search shocker and that was smart though yeah and then because i was like i don't technically want like i want something that's implying and i literally almost did taylor swift's gay hand gesture two fingers because in her concert she has this one thing where she like literally does a two-finger thing and of course the the parts of the internet and the reddits i i exist on we were we had a field day and i was like i need a name for that and then i just looked up sexual hand gestures and i finally
Starting point is 00:13:46 found one great melissa thinks the spa should only be a place of relaxation two percent said i was wrong 98 said i was not wrong also i do want to say the fingering wrong ethnicity beggars can't be fucking choosers do you know how hard it was for me to find a photo like this that didn't have shutterstock by the way shutterstock who's buying those images from you right probably um when uh lena dunham had her website where she was trying to be zoe de chanel's website zoe de chanel had a website yeah like a blog huh i think that's whose it was it's one of those hello good giggles oh that's not
Starting point is 00:14:46 i thought it was no yeah it is it is yeah i thought reese witherspoon bought that hello giggles was is zoe's nationals she still owns that uh it was acquired by time oh my god damn i didn't know that girl was making money like that holy shit whoa yeah i love when people keep it quiet like that too damn and then 30 million dollars I forgot what Lena Dunham's was
Starting point is 00:15:24 but she was trying to do the same one and that would have been somebody that would have needed that oh my god she went to Oberlin this makes so much sense yep she had a podcast that was
Starting point is 00:15:40 the same name too so maybe looking at the podcast maybe but i think it all got taken down that's where alicia keys wrote her essay about not wearing makeup i was listening to her podcast and then like a writing one after that and um this guy i was sitting next to on the plane saw that i was listening to it and he's like oh i like that podcast too and then we had a little thing and then i forgot about him and um then i went to this uh athletic club that it was more like country club athletic club that i was a member of for a while and he was there and i was he took he taught swim lessons there too
Starting point is 00:16:24 and i had signed up for swim lessons i had signed up for swim lessons and i had got his phone number because i was supposed to like call him to like finalize stuff and i had the number saved in my phone and i was like who the hell is this that's why you started saving with emojis as well plain guy i had no like i literally did not remember him at all and then i went to the swim lesson and i still couldn't place it shut the fuck up and i was like i like we know each other somehow and then he told okay he knew i was gonna say this man knew the whole time no he knew imagine being one of the lucky ones who gets to have that like plain meeting a guy moment and then quite literally not even recognizing that man later like no that is
Starting point is 00:17:13 so fucking funny it was so flying out of la literally i was flying from arkansas to la why was he in arkansas he's from there too my god this is your twin well maybe he took the nutrients in the womb and he was swimming around more you were stuck in the you were just floating wow that's crazy i know like out of all the people in the world i end up there and when i try to and that's why i still can't swim because then i was like i can't embarrass myself in front of this man too by the way i can't have any man teach me how to swim i don't want any man to teach me how to swim let alone a man that i've had a flirtationship and he was it was more than a flirtationship and he was very tall no and he's his whole most of his
Starting point is 00:18:06 body's out of the water i don't like that and then i'm there just treading water no that's a power imbalance if i've ever heard you could drown me still so nice and then he had it yeah i do think in general people who teach adult swim lessons like have a compassion that i don't have yeah and he taught the kids lessons too so like he was like wait where is he going back up he had a girlfriend at that time it's like he made that very clear i was like i don't even remember you so okay and who are you oops i'm sorry you slept with this man you forgot about it yep i am a I was very Foddy in my early
Starting point is 00:18:50 Years of being here That is you're the exact Opposite of Tanisha like this dick was Not memorable yeah it was good But it was just like I was busy Diamond bucket yeah I'm addicted to that I think that's A humbling experience that I'll mention Av
Starting point is 00:19:06 Wow I love that I forgot about that Thank you for sharing that story you're welcome that was really good that was fantastic oh but we still haven't read the results from this one nope sure haven't someone said honestly this feels like a string of people who lack self-awareness so many people just live in their own little world and don't realize that things are not curated for them i don't understand how out of all places people wouldn't realize that if they're coming here to a spa for relaxation than maybe other people are too well they weren't really
Starting point is 00:19:47 coming for relaxation they were coming and sometimes that relaxes people yeah i do like a good stroke and sleep it's a chemical yeah you have that high and then knocked out yeah i but don't think it's the time and place and you did it at my birthday dinner time and place time and place and this person continues to say at this point i'm advocating for spas who have private rooms for almost everything if i'm at a spa and i don't want to see anybody unless it's someone that i came with or someone i'm receiving a service from and that's how the one in arkansas was it had all the exact same things but one-on-one until i got to the massage so you got to that one-on-one yeah that is unfortunate because in theory it is better except when that one person that you're
Starting point is 00:20:43 stuck with is bad and then it's like well now i'm here so i would 100 go back there but like get another person but i did leave a bad review so i don't know i'd probably have to sign up on her different name she's an alias sunglasses hello i also don't want this man yeah fair someone else said melissa what happened to you is insane these people need to be on a watch list that probably entice them more because they like to be watched they do someone else said i agree if you want a group activity go to a bathhouse instead yeah they literally could have gone down the street to the we spot that one is you can talk and chatter it smells like little boys but you can i think they would enjoy that like yeah someone else said i'm not gonna lie i would have
Starting point is 00:21:37 snitched on these motherfuckers i hold no allegiance to strangers who so obviously annoyingly disrupt my peace in a place that is supposed to be peaceful depending on my mood i might have straight been like the fuck are y'all doing in the sauna i'm like i said i'm not a snitch i'm i'm just so deeply judgmental with my face yeah and i can't hide my facial expression either and that's the part that i i hope people understand that there was no way that they thought melissa was like this is fine yeah it's despite the obvious what the fuck are you doing on your face they said this is what we're doing which is i i don't know i think in theory like oh yeah i would have told somebody but at that point i would be like i'm sorry my dis my looks of disapproval
Starting point is 00:22:26 aren't enough like i don't think any anyone's gonna be able to stop you by the time i because like where the people are is in the reception area by the time i would have gotten dressed and gone back out they would have been done anyway yeah um someone else said woo girls should also use their powers to be boo girls or at least look ma'ams so we did not consent to your exhibition that's poetry i love that that is unfortunately by the time the woo girls got there these sex people were mostly gone but i i love you got to be a woo girl and a boo girl because like you it's you're at the drag bar offer a bachelorette party screaming and then i expect you at planned parenthood absolutely trolling and screaming at the moms for liberty like i love that
Starting point is 00:23:20 another person said melissa you should have told someone while you were there this is insane they probably would have kicked out all those couples and giving you coupons oh you would have gotten by say say that word again i said coupons i didn't like it i usually say coupons i was gonna say your pennsylvania just came on out i felt it and then you had to point it out i did well hey you can't get it past me i i know the pennsylvania accent well girl then another person said the way this story traumatized me i always thought saunas were nasty because one of my friends was sexually harassing one and this just proves my point you'll but happy belated birthday melissa thank you someone else said if you have to have a party
Starting point is 00:24:06 bachelorette loud hangout in a spa you rent the whole place and too bad if you can't afford it then it's not happening it's not that hard it could be a nice thing for everyone involved if you make sure everyone in the place is actually involved it's like having a party in a library or a concert in a silent resort good point that is really good point and also like la is not hurting for like sexual exhibitionist activities or orgy like there there's a booming community of that yeah and there are places you can literally go for that uh-huh and places that you can avoid if you don't want to be there also said if that is a possibility of course if they offer that service i mean yeah i mean there are other places they could have gone and they would have offered
Starting point is 00:24:54 that yep someone else said this is such a problem at nordic spas too my friend and i have to strategically pick which day of the week to go that we aren't in saunas and hot tubs hot tubs with couples up on each other it's so foul what wait i need to know about more nordic spas me too it's looking like those are big in canada there's one i know there's one here in la yeah uh i sent you where um marlon wayans was getting spanked at one it wasn't really spanked but he was getting hit with the herbal things yep well lots of cold pools i don't i do do the ice room when i'm in between hot stuff but i'm not really into the cold pool unfortunately i can't do either stream i physically really in the moment hot is no good for me long term i cold is not good for me i do
Starting point is 00:25:54 pick cold because i can't feel what i'm going through i can feel what i'm going through in the hot yeah someone else said i had a very similar experience i went to walk into the steam room and there was a couple rubbing each other with salt scrubs and moaning why are you bringing salt scrubs into the the sauna oh my god what made it worse was the spa literally had signs everywhere asking the patrons to not bring sexual energy into the spa please keep your sexual energy out wait i can't believe as of now that is three people who've had personal experience of something similar happening this is this is too this is too much yep another person said my immediate reaction to this scenario was what in the fan fiction fan fiction is happening wow someone else said this
Starting point is 00:26:44 graphic at me kathleen all right you're up megan says mama let's research one percent said i was wrong 99 said i was not wrong literally the first thing that i do when i see drama news or anything happening that i'm interested in is go and look up to see what the truth is i'm not sure how this is a lost art i literally google definitions of words before i text them to my best friends i don't understand how people will comment on things they literally know nothing about with full confidence yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes i really do love that graphic i made first every time i swipe by and i see just a screenshot of it as i'm looking for other ones i'm like it's beautiful what an art what an art then we have writer number one are they wrong for blasting
Starting point is 00:27:30 their music in their car 38 said the writer is wrong 62 said the writer is not wrong someone said i always think your listeners are like alg people what does that mean all caps alg who wrote it i'm like algebra all people are i don't know okay well this person says i always think your listeners are like alg we don't know what that means so we're just going to yeah go with it i don't know i trust you yeah i trust you alg people and we usually have a long string of not wrongs then bam someone comes along who's clearly wrong yep uh-huh whatever alg means uh-huh here's the girl if you told me to jump off a bridge i would do it i wouldn't but in this instance also you allowed me to send you some of my gross things so you've saved megan and then you sent me some
Starting point is 00:28:32 more too we're both like what is this weird oh yeah by the way everyone so melissa has this habit of sending me the foulest things that come across her her fucking it's always instagram reels so and then she's like why do you never answer my dms i go because peppered between the actual things you're sending me that are valid and like we should go do this this weekend this would be so fun it is like literally people getting fucking railed no caption but she just sends it to me because she's like if i saw someone else i had to and then i on my tiktok i get these fucking fanfic acting out little shorts and i usually will like save them and send them to mods because like he finds them hilarious one time i literally watched on those 10 minutes long being like
Starting point is 00:29:15 what is like this is crazy this is so insane and one was so crazy from the first five seconds i sent to melissa and she responds goes oh my god ew why would you send this to me i'm like are you kidding me after all of this i can't even send you one i feel like the video i sent you though that you didn't comment on deserves a comment oh which one is it it's the one right above the last thing we said i'm scared it's not a scary one it's someone i love and then who they're married to oh no i like this yeah well how was i supposed to know when i saw the cover art see when i saw the cover art i said she's not gonna click on it so then i was like i'll bring it up the next time yeah because it looks like there's gonna be sex by the way did you watch the trailer probably
Starting point is 00:30:02 it might have still been yeah but as long as i have to see it i don't care what y'all do in your own homes don't just do in front of me this is uh simone biles and mr simone biles um trading clothes and dancing and he's got on he must have the tiniest waist in the world i i was like this man got thighs yeah he got she also does but um he's gotta have yeah but men in general don't usually have yeah he's like yeah like thighs like that i'm impressed do you see the trailer for uh g20 i'm fucking in and i didn't i didn't send you this video hold on no i'm not gonna i'm not gonna i'm not gonna make it so you visibly watch it but i could have sent you this and i didn't three tips to get your butthole ready for eating number one
Starting point is 00:30:54 this is what she sends me but like and then i'll accidentally click on and i go whoa whoa whoa and then here i'll play the beginning i'll play just the audio of what i sent her that she was like oh my god this is horrible are you fucking kidding me after all the things i send you the man secretly kisses his mother every day no like incest is where i draw the line think about everybody there is a video the incest is where i draw the line she goes too far and i literally showed me a video of like a robot railing a fucking dough ball okay there was an incest well hey i actually don't know the genetic makeup of an alien they might have some yeast in them
Starting point is 00:31:43 you got that dog in you they got that yeast in them they're yeasty boys oh gosh um what was i even doing oh i was still reading comments sorry um someone else said as someone who had her windows rolled down with music blasting because the sun came out on monday and i finally felt alive i definitely understand that there's a time and a place i always turn my music down when i'm waiting in drive-thrus or when i park at my apartment complex as long as you're not breaking any rules and being an asshole just be an asshole then you're not wrong oh being an asshole to be an asshole yeah someone else said i've never gotten mad at anybody who does this because so many people do it i just thought it was normal so i
Starting point is 00:32:36 don't think they're wrong someone else said i agree with melissa here if you're doing it to purposely agitate people then i'm out my commute home is my time to decompress from the day and there's a difference between someone enjoying their own music and other people being able to hear it and someone blasting their music for the purpose of interrupting others i love to see a girl enjoying her time in her own world but i'm not down for being a nuisance like that i'll get overstimulated if there are too many sounds happening at once and then another person i don't know why you have a special uh instagram background that's spider-man one i noticed because i was like did i put that did let's put that or did you put that because
Starting point is 00:33:23 something about melissa and i we both love spider-man so like we do i don't know you haven't seen this one this is miles spider-man no i know but i i love spider-man as a franchise mm-hmm um another person said i think it depends where she drives if it's in a busy center live your life but if it's on a quiet road i like to throw eggs from my window at the writer if they're cheaper oh i thought they said that's like what they do as a pastime i was like damn rich oh you're like i'm not eating this shit i'm throwing it so much money i got someone else said writer is wrong because they seem to be doing it less for their own enjoyment and more just for the reaction of others the reaction i'd argue the reaction of others is
Starting point is 00:34:11 their enjoyment but that also pisses me off that they're doing it just to agitate others another person said only voting wrong because girl you're going to destroy your ears also i don't want my podcast time interrupted by someone else's noise yeah if you're interrupting us with your noise jail yeah another person said this one did make me face reality a bit because i do this and always think it's fun and a good time never thought i might be a nuisance i do it too and i still think i'm fun in a good time do i mean like i think like if you're confident in your music taste and like the vibe of your city you're fine yeah but also like if anyone ever visibly was like giving me shit and like well i would have to judge them to be like why are they
Starting point is 00:35:00 giving me me shit like is it if it's like there's like a mom walking with like a stroller then i would be like oh let me roll the windows up but like if it's that one man who lives in los angeles who has the trump flag i'm turning it up um this reminds me of retta the actress slash comedian she told this story about how she had her windows were up but she had her music blaring and like bobbing her head and like singing loud and then she saw the people next to her were like giving her a look so then she rolled down the windows and she's like singing opera at the top and she can sing she's classic she's trained in opera she's a trained operatic singer and then they're like okay like if you're gonna judge i'll give you if you want to judge the show i'll give you
Starting point is 00:35:49 a show motherfucker yes people pay for that shit um another person said i found this rude like i didn't ask to listen to your music but if someone's even if it's like not my like personal taste in music that like i would turn on but if like someone's playing something that i'm like objectively like this is this is the music you should be blasting if you're blasting taylor swift all too well no it windows down blasting music when the sun is up and people are around isn't it not time for the sad girl cry it out that's shower music you can do that with your windows rolled down at night when no one's around right i have to tell you because when i had a convertible when i first moved to la at night driving down sunset with the
Starting point is 00:36:37 with the top down music blasting you can listen to you can listen to coldplay you can listen to whatever the fuck you want i love driving down hollywood boulevard after the tourists have gone to sleep like that just that area coming through there it's so relaxing there's people give shit that like yes we should have public transportation and it's like yes there's a lot of cars here but like i can't stress once you understand the vibe of being a car city like people we you literally people literally just go on drives like you drive down pc you do all of that stuff and so like people have their convertibles and they're like blasting them and it's night it's just like there's a vibe to it yeah i love that another person said i agree with melissa that she's wrong
Starting point is 00:37:25 if she's doing it to be a nuisance just sounds annoying and why do you like irritating people well here's an update this is the update i'm the writer okay so i don't know that i'm annoying anyone i'm just self-conscious slash anxious i saw someone roll up their window once but i couldn't tell if it was because of me or nasty city smells i'm sorry for being a nuisance in melissa's eyes but these people don't know how to stay out of an intersection in traffic so i a little think they deserve it it would be amazing if someone would jam out with me because it makes me happy to see others jam out but i doubt it will ever happen i don't have a driveway to do this in and it's just isn't the same most importantly megan you are so close with that photo i drive
Starting point is 00:38:16 a white ford escape stop okay now tell me what you're listening to we do know she said sabrina carpenter oh yeah that man noah khan uh i do think that it is your civil duty to not blast the noah khan song that's about suicide i think that's not a windows down blasting song so they don't think they're necessarily irritating people they're just i do want to understand the dichotomy of like i'm anxious and i think i'm being annoying and then still doing that thing i like low-key love that energy of being like i feel like i'm pissing like i might piss people off well oh well i'll see it anyway exposure therapy your turn commercial
Starting point is 00:39:10 ice cold water and it's not even the water that would be in this bottle no but water in those kinds of bottles it like so it changes though it does that's why i've kept it no i i i will never fault you for like there is just something about about the good it's a good rate like the the mount the spout like the opening of it and then how it keeps the temperature of the water and then every vessel for water gives its own little zesty flavor it does that's why i could never get fucking behind canned water because again much like chicken i can't do box water like my brain doesn't compute what's happening i expect it to taste like school milk it's squishy the water tastes squishy isn't that jayden smith's company squishy no box water yeah
Starting point is 00:40:02 shut up if it's jayden smith's company he started at nine and a half years old box water jayden smith i mean he was not no his is just water but it's also in a box so i was gonna say box water has been around since i was in high school so he was in elementary do you think that he would have started something that's what i just said i said because he was an entrepreneur from a young age actual school he went to the school of will and jada yeah the school of life then we've written number two are they wrong for calling their lab mate sexist two percent of the writer is wrong and 98 of the writer is not wrong as someone who works in college athletics they oh that is unfortunately very male dominated i'm all for calling this out
Starting point is 00:40:45 i have often been the one tasked with scheduling events organizing the paperwork etc it has gotten a lot better for me over the last two years since getting a new boss i will often just not say anything and wait for my male co-worker to speak up on admin duty so it isn't always just the one female in the office then you have to trust the men to do that i'm just saying just clean up your own shit and bounce i think the boss is wrong in this scenario if she sees others not pulling their weight it's her responsibility to make sure to call them out office housework quote unquote as i always as i call it always defaults to women and it's so infuriating the organizing event planning meeting agendas notes communication etc always gets picked up by women when i took over
Starting point is 00:41:23 our party planning committee the first thing i did was disband it if they want a happy hour they can organize it themselves oh i love that energy too says i'll actually take that responsibility and the end smart smart smart stop doing work for other people call out your boss to their boss and continue normalizing intolerance of this bullshit behavior nothing will change unless we change it writer is so not wrong i also work in a quote-unquote male field with a bunch of engineers and physicists maybe it is because my job is different i was hired as the language and communications person but they treat me with a lot of respect and ask me all their english questions and that's how it should be one time my boss wanted to hire a new person for our team and he
Starting point is 00:42:04 was a sexist asshole towards me you know asking me to get him coffee in his job interview as the only one in the room and my boss immediately crossed him off his list and said he would never hire someone who treats me or any woman like that i'm not going to praise him for that because it's basic human decency or at least it should be but i just remember feeling such gratitude in that moment because a team member like that would have made my job hell that reminds me um and i'm gonna name drop so hard right now good i was in a production thing and somebody and um somebody asked me to get an actor some tea and the actor was patrick stewart and he looked at me and he was like i can make my own tea good and it takes people standing up like that i i wish people could
Starting point is 00:42:47 were able to take a step back and view it's like it's secretary culture like that aspect of like when women were allowed to have jobs they weren't getting paid they were doing the same household tasks at workplace for their husband at their job and then when it was like women can they can they can pay taxes and stuff now too then it just became those admin duties defaulting on to women because people still wrongly think it's oh it's just your it's biology like that's just how it works and i'm like i can know someone else said this quite literally is why i changed my major in college from physics to comms which makes sense i physics to biology there are a lot more people that looked like me in biology to set me so heated i wrote a rant that was too long to
Starting point is 00:43:38 fit in a dm i'm a phd student at a lab in a top 20 program with mostly people from other cultures as well and the most sexist thing that they've done is insist that men do heavy lifting we don't have a lab manager so adamant stuff either gets taken care of by senior members or the lab of the or split evenly amongst everyone she needs to start documenting every time they do something sexist slash refuse to clean etc and bring it to her boss or the department and explain how this is affecting her research if they don't do anything about it i would just stop cleaning up after them even if it impacted my work grr that's it i forgot about this i can't who is wrong this is about the hansville police department 97 said the pd is wrong three percent said pd is not
Starting point is 00:44:24 wrong so what i haven't read them i'm sorry but that woman doesn't look a day under geriatric as someone with a druggy mom she looks even worse than my mom hey once you know somebody who has participated in a specific set of substances you can see it on the face people always want to talk about coke nose i think that that's not the one i'm familiar with but they're the other ones and there are some key facial features oh god that one got me um another person said haven't even finished listening to the episode yet but i'm just gonna assume they're wrong because they're police fuck them you gotta listen if you haven't yet because it's a fun little game it's it's also alarming and then someone else said girl and then the emoji with the hand over
Starting point is 00:45:22 the mouth mr sweaty bangs looks so much worse than what i was picturing in my head while listening to the episode yeah i can't stress enough that you might want to blow up those pictures like look even closer because it is a small image that i was able to share the peaceiness with these bangs i he has three bangs like it is it is so sweaty uh um someone else as someone from alabama was while seeing my fave podcast covering this unfortunately wasn't surprising no you know what are they called hucks hunt hansville i was like Huntsville, they've got little sibling syndrome with Huntsville. They said, we can't be the best.

Then we have my nomination for wrong of the week, the Protector app. 97% said Protector is wrong. 3% said Protector is not wrong. i will say this started showing up my tiktok feed of people being like oh my god i feel like this is like actually like affordable and a steal like hiring one of these guys for a girl's night and i was like where you guys that should be alarming like where are you going where you think you need
Starting point is 00:47:13 an armed driver they have never been to los angeles in their life so they're gonna make the trip and then they're gonna i i'm gonna say something crazy maybe if i genuinely thought a city was so unsafe that i could not go somewhere without someone with a gun i'm not fucking i'm not going i'm not going to a fucking club like what do you mean i'm just and even people being like damn like they really made it as affordable for these girlies and i go no that that's a why do you what i think we know at this point to not get veneers on groupon why are you getting a discount security guard who got kicked out of every other fucking academy and it's like oh kicked out of they're like oh former lapd and i go do you do you know how bad you have to be to get kicked out
Starting point is 00:48:02 of lapd like do you understand but how bad you have to be you could just go to murrieta pd you could go to riverside you could go to ranch you could go you and no you gotta you gotta get on this app by the way i did include the image they do they had a whole fucking photo shoot and video shoot with these men where they did a share horowitz from clueless and they had them wear different outfits so you can see the options of what look they can show up in oh my god and their tactical what do they call it tactical formal tactical cocktail tactical gear whatever it is like cargo pants and an oversized um polo and i go so you're just not big enough to be a security guard you're not big enough to be a bouncer that's all i'm getting
Starting point is 00:48:49 so yeah 97 they're wrong three percent so they're not and let's see i just i i will never get over the fact that it's like the same people who are like it's not safe to take an uber or lyft and i go yeah you know what i want my uber driver to have a gun with a fucking gun like somebody else brought that up that's so that doesn't that makes me feel so much work i want to be alone i never want to be in a car alone with a man i really don't want to be in a car alone with a man who is armed who has been kicked out of i like now that on lyft you can choose yes only and i do feel like some of the people who haven't seen talking about this i'm like you're giving me the vibe like i think we are peers i think
Starting point is 00:49:37 you would also pick a woman driver i will only take a man if he's got a gun no i'm so sorry the logic is out the fucking window i think some of these people are actually paid to say no i i was gonna i i do not think that these people are a in la and b actually participating have not been in it i've actually i've never even seen anyone being like hey i hired him day in my life with my protector bodyguard like i haven't seen any of that i've just seen like discourse from people from other cities talking about it and i was like i feel like it's an unpaid ad and i don't think you're ever gonna do this because there is zero fucking logic behind it i think some of them are paid they're just not disclosing that's right yeah well because also like it feels like a shift in
Starting point is 00:50:21 like marketing um by by the app because and the app like all of like the promo videos and stuff are done like as a response to like united healthcare workers so like to me it would make the most sense of being like okay these are for people who are traveling and they're like like they're coming to la for a conference and they're nervous or whatever which by the way if i was talking to boss about this he goes if you are worth any like if there's any security risk on you that like you already have this like yes and you certainly would not be hiring as a gig worker on a one-off like no if you need security you have security pretty much all the time or at least regularly scheduled for specific events that you know you need security for exactly and it's
Starting point is 00:51:09 not going to be again somebody that got kicked out it's going to be an actual security and it's also going to be a team of people team of people okay someone said this is so scary and insane why do they think this is a good idea they don't they really marketed initially to people like fragile not even current ceos future ceos who are like i'm gonna start a healthcare insurance company one day and like people my life is gonna be on the line and it's to those people and then they realize it's actually not enough of those people so let's start marketing towards women so i said wrong wrong wrong what's worse than a male uber driver a male uber driver with a gun yep we we so what else said if i want protection at a discount i'm looking for the this is so
Starting point is 00:52:00 fucking true if i want protection and discount i'm looking for the nearest stud mask lesbian with a crowbar not a man i have to pay for and address that is legitimately times of crisis i'm like where are the lesbians i don't want them i don't want this man someone said i'm still thinking about the way that megan gentle parented gavin i'm assuming gavin newsom when did i do that i don't know but also somebody put on our uh spotify they said gavin gavin you look like you oh it was one of the the drivers because i was like by the way i've definitely gentle parented gavin newsom about like we can get through this but it was one of the drivers yes so oh he was the one with the pretty face
Starting point is 00:52:45 this person said gavin gavin you look like you could do so much more with your life making your delivery and this line was impeccable yeah no because i said he's he's he's got a marketable face like i think he would could go from extra to feature to extra to speaking rope quite quickly i think most of them could they are seem to be valuing valuing the uh the the archetypes and aesthetics i'm not saying these men are attractive but i'm saying they got that that they have the central casting look and i'm just saying how about you hop on over to central casting instead also i do know for a fact most of them probably are like instead of working at john and penny's and being an actor they're just gonna work on protector and be an actor yeah someone else said
Starting point is 00:53:29 i just love being instantly on the same page as y'all because as soon as megan said the name my first thought was that beyonce used to sue and then megan said the exact same thing not even a split second later yes exactly as someone who was born and raised in the valley there are parts of la county i have never been to you might as well hire a private driver without firearms that makes way more sense to me especially when it comes to parking in downtown la forget stranger danger have you tried figuring out the time and day you could legally park in some streets on la you will literally you'll often find yourself deciphering hieroglyphics from five stack signs that basically tell you no you cannot park here go park at the place that charges you 50 plus per hour parking
Starting point is 00:54:06 enforcement officers will ticket you faster than any bullet just get an uber girl it is not worth paying extra for protection that is so true that is so true i was literally somewhere earlier this week and i pulled into a parking spot and i was like one this seems like it's too good to be true so i don't think it's actually true but the sign seemed right like it seemed like i should park there but i was like you know what i'm gonna go i'm just gonna drive a little bit more and see if i can find something else that's more clear because yes these signs don't make any fucking sense i can't stress to you guys enough that like you can't even read the signs from your car because there are so many you have to get out of your car so you get an accurate angle you have to
Starting point is 00:54:47 step back to see all of them and i will forever be grateful for this man in encino where i was looking for parking one time trying to go to the pharmacy and i was looking for parking and then i finally found it and then he came out of his house and said honey so sorry you can't park there the signs are really fucking confusing and i said oh no okay and he goes you can park over here and then walks in his bathrobe and slippers walks and stands where i can park so no one else can park fair and i was like thank you sir like so kind because you know you know that and i'm sure he looked it was like oh god no she's gonna get a ticket so fast because it is you can call lapd for an actual emergency they won't get there for so long a meter made and the meter mates like
Starting point is 00:55:31 they're even confused sometimes because there is an app i used i used it all the time when i first lived here but now i'm like i'm not even taking the risk but there's an app where you can contest your your parking tickets and so on the pch there is a stretch where you can actually park in between but like if you're outside you can't park and i was in the in between and i had i came back to my car and i had a ticket and so i took a picture and then contested it and it got taken off but like why should i have to pay money for somebody to take a ticket off that shouldn't i shouldn't have gotten in the first place one time mods got um a ticket and they their clock was wrong so it was like a full hour before they it was like daylight savings and their clock didn't
Starting point is 00:56:17 change and it was like they had wrote in the notes like an hour over but the printed time was the correct time and i was like yeah we gotta gotta do a quick little double check for that right but la if you need security you're already famous enough where you don't need to use this app i'm waiting for them to start like marketing to um horny book talk readers of being like what if i fall in love with my protector i think someone else said something um someone said and megan is so right to sue them beyonce yes if only they had named it after a taylor swift song because i do think we are the only entity that taylor swift has not sued for a shared name we we no we existed first for her song but i also like to think that she says i like what they're doing over
Starting point is 00:57:12 there and i'd like to see it so i will not put an end to that all right well that's the end of the episode you're like i wish that you guys would put the words that i've typed in your mouth and we'd say of course you can do that too but you just have to participate by writing in when we have megan you caught up now dude i thought you said you were tired and i was like okay we're one in the same boat that that is a fully rested sentence if you're watching on on spotify you can see megan visibly working what i said out in her brain yeah if you'd like to participate then you can write in when we do the votes also make sure you listen to the episode but i take it if you don't listen to the episode you're also not listening right
Starting point is 00:58:05 now so maybe we should put a warning up next vote but you can uh vote and then share your thoughts we love reading them when you've actually listened to the episode and they make sense in the context of what we posted and we talk a lot so we really need the context and if i write in asking for context and then you get an attitude with me then that just proves more that you didn't listen to the episode and then you tell me and then lie again listen on monday for but am i wrong which came out yesterday listen before you do the votes tomorrow um and then listen to uh don't blame me on thursday fisting friday on friday and then back for but am i wrong on monday and here for see you next tuesday obviously on tuesday
Starting point is 00:58:57 and we will see you next tuesday this is a sister sign production hosted by me megan ranks and me melissa d montz plus diamond imprint productions
