but I gotta talk to the people right now so yeah hi it's Jacqueline welcome back to the show hit
that subscribe button uh I'm gonna set the scene really quick before I get into the main
topic of today's episode which I'm not gonna say where I'm gonna tease it
there there are multiple topics your brain is gonna feel really good when you're done listening
today like you're gonna feel it's gonna be stimulated and then yeah so anyways let me
first set the scene Jesus um hi how's your week going uh welcome to my home I'm sitting in my
kitchen drinking a coffee looking out the window I'm uh wearing my big ass Carhartt hoodie and
some slippers and that's it and you know what I gotta be honest so I'm from Washington right
and something that's still a challenge for me or for my brain to comprehend is is the marine layer
the marine layer so every morning in California or out where I live in San Diego San Diego there's a
thick like blanket of clouds overhead and they're sometimes they're kind of dark and so my brain
because I'm from Washington thinks it's going to rain it still thinks that even though what happens
traditionally when it's not actually going to rain here is the marine layer lifts and the sun comes
through at like 10 a.m and it's beautiful and it's great and it's blue sky and it's sunny but
anyways like I still struggle and I feel like sometimes because I get depressed by rain like
so easily sometimes my days start off kind of like I feel kind of tired and gloomy just because
of the marine layer so yeah anyways not to talk about the weather but there you go I'm trying to
set the scene um should I tell you about my coffee it's kind of different today I haven't done this
before actually I haven't done this in a long ass time I'm drinking an iced americano no no no no
know. I'm drinking a protein coffee. How did I just say iced Americano? Like this is literally
not that I'm drinking a protein coffee. I like mixed protein powder. Cause I went on a really
long walk with Jimmy this morning. So I'm, I feel hungry. Usually I fast, but like, no, you guys
don't give a fuck about details, but like, anyways, I felt really hungry. So I made a protein coffee.
I put um a scoop of protein powder and water water water water put a scoop of protein powder
and water together and then I don't know I like made it into a I mean I basically made chocolate
milk but without I didn't use almond milk because I don't have any I still have to grocery shop
that's my that's also a life update I need I still have no food it's it's a joke like you
should open my if you didn't listen to yesterday's episode if you open so if you open my fridge right
now. There is a, all you see is a pan with saran wrap over it of chicken that I baked on Sunday.
And then, oh my God, life update. I, oh my, I've, I've so many updates. I have so many updates. Hold
on. Cause you're like, okay, wait, wait, wait. I got to put a little pin here on my thing to
remember to say this. Not sick. Okay. Um, spoiler alert. She's not sick. Um, there's literally just
a pan of chicken thighs and a bottle of spirulina powder and that's it and condiments so yeah I don't
have almond milk so I mixed um I mixed water and protein powder as like the chocolate milk or
whatever and then I poured it over iced espresso and it's good I feel like it's gonna fill me up
and it's kind of like a breakfast coffee I don't know but my update is yesterday
yesterday I was horizontal I was sick same with Monday I was feeling like shit all day
uh I don't think it was COVID but I felt it wasn't like I had a cough or excuse me a cold
I did have a little cough I had like this feeling over my body that was like a flu I don't know
anyways life update is that I am holy I need to okay Jacqueline coffee I just I need to like okay
the caffeine officially just spiked to a different level and i feel like i i don't know i don't know
what just happened but i'm on six tangents and i'm trying to keep this together um okay so i waited
until like 7 p.m for my wellness formula vitamins to to get delivered by amazon jesus so fuck
where am I I feel like I okay I'm gonna drink water sorry
sorry I'm really sorry okay hold on I was sick Monday Tuesday really bad I felt like I had
a flu-like sickness I didn't have like a cold where I just felt like my throat hurt it was like

when they got here I took 15 of them and I woke up today and I'm fine so it worked my plan worked
I knew as soon as I got those delivered I would take a bunch of them and I'd wake up cured and
it worked okay there's the there's life update we got to talk about I need to cut to the chase
have I set the scene enough for you I'm drinking coffee's going behind the laptop so I don't keep
drinking it and get I just I know it's a broken record I know it's fucking annoying every time
I podcast I'm like I'm so I'm over caffeinated oh my god I'm drinking too much coffee I need to like
slow down every episode that I drink coffee anyways it's also the morning so let me people
watch for you to finish setting the scene my cute old lady neighbor just parked her Honda CRV
she's walking inside with a red purse it looks like a coach bag I used to sell those
yeah a leather coach bag and then I don't know you know I'm gonna assume what she's holding
is a package of croissants or some shit from the grocery store she just like walked in with the
it looks like pastries are inside like I know she just went to Vons
early because old people go to Vons really early or they go grocery shopping super early
and she's bringing her husband pastries like they they're she got like some croissants
that's really cute that reminds me of my grandma like something my grandparents would do
um and I've been watching her lavender grow she's got this amazing lavender bush
and I'm just a real I'm I don't she doesn't interact with people I think she's went during
COVID I she's I saw her come out of her house in 2020 one time and she were like it was bad like
they they hid my neighbors hid all of 2020 because they're older so yeah it's good to see her and I'm
curious like at some point I want to have a conversation with her but she's she just she
doesn't really talk to people she's very you know anyways so there you go there's the people watching
segment let's talk about condom sales so here's what we're gonna do today um I have
okay I'm gonna like do a pregnant pause
collect myself before I keep going. I think I need to do more of this. I need to pause more
during the podcast. Okay. I'm ready. Here's what we're going to do today. I have an array
of notes in random videos I've saved and shit from like TikTok with interesting,
full of interesting topics. Okay. So what I'm going to do today is I'm going to pull them up
and I'm going to Google a lot of shit and we're going to find out new, interesting information
together. So number one is condom sales. Okay. This is business insider. Condom sales skyrocket
as vaccinated singles get ready for a summer of sex, experts say. Condom sales increased after
slumping during the pandemic. Okay. Of course. CNN reported condom sales shot up 23.4% between
March and April, 2021. Manufacturers say the uptick in condom sales could be linked to more
singles getting vaccinated. Okay. Oh, this is condom sales have skyrocketed as sky. Oh, this
is dumb okay condom sales have skyrocketed as hot vax summer approaches oh my god
so yeah okay cool Jacqueline skyrocket condom sales skyrocketed or they went up 23.4 percent
wow Jacqueline thank you so much I didn't know that that was so interesting I don't know why
I like made a big deal about this but um okay cool of course they did like it's this this makes
sense. I'm not surprised, but here's something I am surprised by. Here's an interesting statistic
for you. According to the match.com 2020 singles in America survey, 71% of singles reported they
haven't had sex during the pandemic. 71%. I don't know why that seems like super high or like,
I just think that I feel like that's a huge number, but, um, or huge percentage of single
people, but okay, there you go. 71% didn't have sex in 2020. Um, and then here's another survey
20, uh, according to the 2021 skin sex and intimacy survey, 39% of respondents reporting
reported having an increased sex drive since the start of the pandemic. Okay. No shit. I don't know.
was this worth your time i just read some stats uh excited for condom companies this summer i feel
like if that percentage is only going to keep going um so yeah cool uh there's something in
the air though there's definitely something in the air like people i i can just tell like it's
gonna be a lot of i i'm gonna see i feel like i'm gonna be in pacific beach and people are
gonna be fucking on the streets like literally just like in public out in like people are just
gonna be humping each other left and right it's gonna be insane um okay the the next topic we're
gonna talk about is itching itching itching we're gonna go from condoms to itching because
i want to find out why we get itchy why i'm asking google why do we itch i'm fascinated by this i saw
a tiktok video that inspired me to look this up why do we itch i don't understand it um because
it's like it comes out of nowhere nothing will be touching you and you'll have an itch so what
is that i need to know i need to know what's happening in my body or like what's happening
and I don't the air like why do we itch randomly this is a common question here
it's got to be something with our nerves right like there's our nerves do something and that
makes us have an itch because you know what you know what it is it's like well currently I think
I talked to you guys about this like a week or so ago or even well okay I've been my cat or excuse
not my calves, my shins are so itchy all the time to the point of like, I, I don't even like right
now. Okay. I'm like, I'm not even touching them, but I can tell, like, I can feel that they're
itchy. Does that make sense? Like I can feel, what is that? Why does that happen? I don't understand
it. I know they're like, I can feel it. I want, I've had to ignore a lot of my urges to itch them
because I don't want to ruin my fucking skin or anything but like it's I don't know why that
something's happening in my in my shins like something's changed because I've never had itchy
skin I've never and at one point like when I first got Jimmy I thought I was allergic to him
because I kept having really itchy um legs like if I was laying on the couch with like
shorts on or something and he laid on my thighs my thighs would be super itchy
so I was like oh my am I allergic to my dog like I don't know so let's look this up um
why do we get itchy? Why does scratching feel better? Let's do this. Chemicals released in
the skin send a message to the spine through nerves in the skin. Okay, whoa. Chemicals released
in the skin send a message to the spine through nerves in the skin. Then the spine communicates
with the brain and we become itchy my nose like as I'm reading this I my nose fucking itches like
it's there someone in the simulate whoever's controlling me in the simulation is fucking
with me now I'm like I can't I have like oh my god my apple watch underneath the itches fuck
I feel like this is like yawning if you see someone yawn you yawn you yawn if you read
about itching you're gonna start itching what the fuck I'm all of us okay is this uh what's
called predictive programming what the fuck is that called where i'm being like or not predictive
programming but it's okay sorry um one of the most common causes of itch on the skin is dry skin no
shit what which causes micro fractures within the skin skin barrier this causes okay obviously
okay causes of itchy skin
I feel like in my case it's dry skin but like it but okay here's the thing I drink a shit ton of
water I drink so much water I'm like I don't have issues drinking up enough water I know that about
myself like I pee I don't know I drink a lot of water and then after I shave my legs whenever I'm
in the shower. Even if I don't, I put on, I preach this so many fucking times. I do, um, my
moisturizer, my plain moisturizer mixed with almond oil. Am I, am I allergic to almond oil?
Like I've never had issues, but all of a sudden I'm like, anyways, so I hydrate my skin. I drink
a lot of water. I don't know why. Like, I, I feel like they're itchy for no fucking reason. Cause
my skin isn't dry. Maybe there's something going on with my shin bone. Is there like
something growing on my shin bone? I don't know. Why is it so hard to resist scratching
an itch? Itching is an inherently harassing and annoying sensation. Our natural instinct
instinct is to eliminate it okay um I want to find out what was the last part
why it feels so good to itch your skin
um anyways I feel like I'm spending way too much time on talking about why our skin itches
one of the recommendations if you feel like you have to itch yourself and you don't want to like
scratch or if you don't want to like, like scratch too hard or anything, it's to keep your hands
busy. Like use a stress ball. Oh, you know, the fucking worst thing is when you have an itch under
your foot and you're, you're wearing shoes. Like why does that happen? That's a, that's a very
specific moment in your life. We've all had it. You're wearing tennis shoes and the middle bottom
part of your foot itches. Explain that. And there isn't a little rock in there. There isn't a little,
you know it's just like a fucking I just itched my eyebrow like everything's itchy right now I
don't like this I don't like this I've never I feel like I'm making everyone listening
uncomfortable talking about itching including myself yeah like why does the arch of your foot
just randomly itch when you're wearing shoes I don't get it and it's like a very it's like a
certain spot or like on your back like that one spot will itch it's like why I don't know okay
I'm gonna move on um so the next topic is blow pen blow pens blow b-l-o pens now one of my favorite
lanes, one of my favorite lanes I, I, I like, uh, scrolling in on TikTok is early 2000s or like
nineties, uh, nineties kid toys or whatever. And like early 2000s nostalgia. Yeah. Like nineties
nostalgia, especially with like kid toys and crafts and shit. So blow pens haven't been in my
brain since I owned them. I think I had a box of them. Um, but anyways, do you ever,
so all I'm going to say is this, the, uh, the fucking, let me go back to my Safari.
I think I was Googling. Where was I Googling it? Blow pens. Um, Google image search, blow
pens. It is the most, basically these kids. Okay. Just like, I honestly don't want to say anything
else. I just want to say, go to Google images, look at the blow pens, look at the pictures of
the kids doing it. It looks sexual. It looks inappropriate. You know, I feel like, I don't
know. I can't unsee it. I can't unsee it. Just everything about the way they're holding the
blow pens the way they're putting their mouth around the blow pens the way they're positioning
the blow pens the way they're looking at the like every it's just it's it's I can't believe this was
a I don't know that's where my head goes like I'm an adult now like that's where my head goes but
like the reason why I'm like what the fuck is because these are like like this girl's wearing
pigtails she's like fucking anyways she's like six and like who comes up with that like oh here
let me describe it a blow a blow pen is basically a marker type thing that you blow into
to color with and then however it works makes the ink like spray out like a fucking like a
spray can or like a spray paint bottle or whatever the fuck and then you can like draw or you can
like color with it with your mouth and like move it around do you get what I'm saying so
like who why was that necessary why did that have to be a thing like why did why was that
like why was that a I don't know but just google image it if you're like well
if you're a fucking pedophile go with google image
anyways uh but I I wanted to mention that because for obviously what I just said but then uh
because it's now I see like when you're older you notice shit that you're like whoa when I was a
kid I would have never thought that but now that I'm older and I know shit about life and how this
world works I see stuff but um anyways another reason I wanted to mention is because there's so
many things that like as I get older that keep getting unlocked that I use the word like unlocked
like they get unlocked from my past like something I've never I haven't thought of since I was like
12 and then all of a sudden a TikTok will roll through my feed and I'll be like oh my god and
it's so I don't know what it does to me it just makes me happier it makes me feel like wow
life used to be so fun and so cool and so good when you were a kid and I don't know I like to
be reminded of the shit I used to play with or like do or especially like the outfits we would
wear like what is it with the whole I remember in uh I don't know like 2000 early 2000s up to
like eighth grade it's like I'd say like 2008 even through high school we kind of did this
but why was it a thing for girls to layer their camis like you'd put on a white cami with white
lace on the bottom and that was like a status thing like if you had the white lace showing
you were cool I remember this because when we went to um or excuse me at the school I went to
we had to wear a uniform every day and we had these white polos that we had to tuck in but we
would fuck around and we would be little rebels and we would wear our white camis and our shirt
and our polos untucked and it was like a layered look and then the the biggest flex was this if you
had the white cami with the hollister bird uh embroidery showing that's a that was like okay
she's the she's the baddest bitch in this fucking cafeteria right now and then if you also had
the polo at the bottom if the bottom of the polo also had the Hollister Eagle thing
seagull embroidery like you were the shit and I feel like that was such a everybody knew it
it was something that went unsaid it was something that went unsaid but like
if you shop especially because I went to a private school where you couldn't wear
like regular clothes if yeah anytime you had something from Abercrombie Hollister or American
Eagle you were the shit and it was like especially if your shirt said it like if your graphic tee
if you had like a graphic tee that said it I don't know but I don't know why like
why did all the girls in early 2000s we'd wear like short jean skirts like we'd wear yeah jean
skirts with, like, black leggings underneath that went down to, like, half, like, halfway down our
calves, and then a cami, and then, like, two camis staggered, so you can see the different colors or
whatever, and then, like, a graphic tee, and then one of those stupid bags that was, like, a hobo bag
with, like, sequins and shit, yeah, I don't know, we were, and then what's crazy is, like, some of
these trends are coming back and I'm like oh my god the trend cycle is go the trend cycle is going
so fast right now that every week it's something new it's like it's we're in a washing machine
with our with our fashion trends right now and I I'm it's so obnoxious it's so in our face it's like
I don't know I think personal style is fucking dead and that sucks like especially with um
like people on social media like it's no one has a it's like everyone looks exactly everyone
dresses exactly the same there's no like no one's doing their own thing or like where i don't know
there's a lot of copycatting especially with like um everyone's trying to dress like hayley bieber
everyone's trying to dress like um what's what's her name fucking princess diana
from the 90s which is amazing shout out princess diana but like i don't know how many more biker
short crew neck uh gold jewelry fucking high sock outfits can we put together before i have
an aneurysm or like a neon blazer with a hoodie underneath like holy shit that's so cool i don't
know people look good though i feel like a lot of people have great style um but the trend cycle
that's what i'm trying to say is so every it's like holy fuck like we're gonna we're going from
the the 90s to the early 2000s to the 80s to the 70s it's like all spiraling so anyways um
okay now we're gonna talk about the highway systems in america and how they came to be because
um, I don't understand, first of all, this is inspired by a TikTok, let me shout this person
out, um, this is from Iamjamist, Iamjamist on TikTok, she made a great point, like,
and I've thought about this before, like, when they built roads, highways, everything, like,
how did they just get a bunch of concrete and then decide like how the route was going to go
and like, how did they start and how did they, I don't know. So let's just like Google how,
how did highways start? Yeah. Right. I don't care how stupid I sound right now. I'm just,
I'm genuinely curious in this topic or about this topic and um like you know what I mean when you
see like a windy road it's like how did they why is is because of the way the land was laid out
but like how did you know where to connect I don't know especially like back in the day day
like back in the deep like fucking GPS didn't exist um the United States government's efforts
to construct national network of highways began on an ad hoc basis i don't know what that means
what does ad hoc mean ad it's probably abbreviation for something ad hoc meaning enter um
oh when necessary or needed ad hoc i just learned something
at an on an ad hoc basis with the passage of the federal aid road act of 1916 which provided
75 million dollars over a five-year period for matching funds to the states for the construction
and improvement of highways earl warren invented california's or he helped create california's
highway system okay do you guys know what I mean like I just feel I don't know I not to like bring
up the simulation because I think that's fucking cliche and annoying like some days I'm like yeah
that's we're 100% like we get a simulation like how do we just build all these fucking roads I
don't get it like I get it but I don't especially at first is what I mean like especially like
I guess it started out as trails and then the trails expanded and then they found like concrete
was a thing and then they started like pouring concrete and then they're like well we're just
going to cover this trail this dirt gravel patch of you know trail we've been using or whatever
we're going to cover it with concrete and make it an official road and then over time I guess
every road was just patched up with concrete or every like trail dirt patch path and then
because they were already established as we explored all the little all the little trails
and shit and then oh my god but then towns
yeah like every town was a main street and that was probably okay whoa
again i say i think shit in my head then i try to verbalize it it makes sense in my head but
when I say it I don't feel like it makes sense to you guys so I'm just gonna keep it shut keep it
shut um let me see though if I have like where did the first highway wait a minute wait a minute
I'm gonna google the first portion of a highway wait the start
how fucking stupid do i sound right now i feel like i don't know i just want to like see a
picture route 66 okay like where's this first where okay wait where the sidewalk ends bitch
shell silverstein was a great uh that was one of my favorite books growing up where the sidewalk
ends where does the rail where does the fucking high where does i where the start i'm gonna google
the start of I-5, bitch. That's the highway I'm most familiar with. Now, I know there's
different slang terms for freeway, highway, interstate. Highway, freeway, interstate.
Life is a highway. I don't know. I say them all. I say highway. Get on the five. I say
get on the five. But people in California, like in San Diego, it's like the 805, the
five it's like we have all these crisscrossing uh highways anyways freeway highway potato potato
okay wait the start of i-5 is in canada
it's not that exciting i mean it's just like it's not like it just has a dead end or does it i don't
get it you know what i mean though like it doesn't does it go all the way up to the fucking north
poll like it doesn't it's got to have a start wait a minute if I go on maps on my phone
holy shit I could probably find this quick I wait I five I gotta go to the surf shop
today and get my fucking package I don't want to I just remembered that gotta get my blazer
vancouver okay i-5 99 okay we're in white rock bc wait does i-5 stop in
oh so i-5 turns into the 99 in vancouver bc the 99 goes all the way to
wait wait then there's like the one in canada that wait where does the 99 goes to the one
hold on i really want to see this but here's the thing that's what happens is like they all turn
into something else but the 99 is going all the way up to holy shit you could take the 99 in canada
oh my god we're up in are we in alaska are we in prince george wait holy shit
no it goes like all the way i gotta follow it i'm on a mission i gotta follow it where's that 99
okay that's the 20 okay oh my god so basically like just goes all the way up canada
but then it's like where's the end of it they all just combine you know what it is there isn't an
end holy shit i just spent 15 minutes i just answered my own question look they all connect
there isn't an end they all run into each other it's a circle it's a web it's a fucking highway
systems are webs there isn't a beginning and there isn't an end you go on one it connects to another
as soon as the, it's like the five goes up to Blaine, Washington, then it switches over to,
and when you go to white, cross the border to White Rock, BC, turns into the 99, the 99 turns
into the 20, if you go all the way up to fucking the North Pole or whatever, cool, okay, great
topic, Jacqueline, wow, we're learning, our brains, does your brain feel better, I feel like I'm just
making it worse. Okay. So this I am Jamest TikTok has another topic, uh, that I want to talk about
that she doesn't understand, which are, um, like cuss words, like swear words, like the topic.
So who decides the swear words are bad, are bad. Like who initially decided that fuck was a bad
word or like shit or damn or hell or whatever like the origin of curse words is the next google
search the origin of swear words enter in english swear words and curse words like shit like shit
have a german root german okay like shit have a german german german germanic germanic root
as likely does fuck though damn and piss come from old french and ultimately latin the more
technical and polite alternatives are often the more tech oh my god read a paragraph read a
paragraph without, like, what the fuck? I'm going to start over. In English, swear. I
am, I can't read. I can't read. What the, okay. I never do this bad. Okay, I swear,
One thing I notice about myself when I podcast is that whenever there's a paragraph I have to read from a news article or whatever, I usually don't fuck it up.
I'm pretty good at it.
Today's a different story.
Let me start again.
Start for the third time.
In English, swear words and curse words, like shit, have a Germanic root.
as likely does fuck though damn and piss come from old english fuck i just fucked up old french
and ultimately latin the more technical and polite alternatives are often latin in origin
such as defecate or excrete for shit and fornicate or copulate for fuck okay um who invented swear
words common google search here we don't know how the earliest speakers of english swore
because it wasn't written down before the 15th century which is which is when swearing first
appeared in writing most writing was done by monks and they were too good and their work
too important for them to write down swear words
oh the guardian who invented swearing
is frick a bad word dude what fucking mormon asked that question to google is frick a bad word
frickin frickin freak oh one of my sorry i don't know if it was that what fucked up anyways my
pet peeve is when people don't say fuck and they use other words instead of fuck or like
freaking oh my that's freaking unbelievable freaking freaking like i for example was
in a relationship before where that was thrown around freaking freaking freaking
frick it was all thrown around in conversation and it was the most it was the biggest it was
a fucking turn off say fuck don't say frick fuck get it right okay I just like I was like what the
what the fuck say just stop saying like freaking freaking unbelievable I was that's freaking
unbelievable freaking I can't do it I can't do it fuck or get the fuck out that's what it is okay
so I still haven't found me my uh I still haven't found out how the shit got started
or honestly I read the paragraph and I didn't comprehend what I was reading I was just reading
words and I don't like I said or I found out that um uh shit is has shit has Germanic root
from germany so same shit and fuck come from germany damn and piss come from france
and then the polite alternatives are from latin have latin origin like defecate excrete these
are not like these are not even bad words they're more polite fornicate cope okay so
the etymology of the top seven curse words
I've never talked about these topics before and like where did we go we went from hey I'm sitting
in my kitchen looks like it's gonna rain we went from that to hey condom sales are up hey condom
sales are up 71% of singles didn't have sex in 2020 we learned that then we went to hey blow pens
google image search blow pens and uh get mad or like or be disgusted or like what the fuck
google image search blow pens i had i unlocked some things from my childhood and then i talked

potty mouth grammar nerds of the world unite
potty-mouthed grammar nerds of the world unite i was in a fight with a fellow introvert the other
day it's rare but it does happen anyway this companion of mine happens to take his grammar
pretty seriously so i'm always on my grammatical guard
so i'm always on my grammatical guard around him lest he correct me for an accidental
slip-up. Because we were fighting over the use of the serial comma, what else? Things got pretty
heated between us. As two young language buffs, we both tend to take advantage of all the words
available in a fight, even those that might not be so acceptable, and what some would call polite
company. We've both been known to use what we can only describe as inventive
curses in the past, especially when discussing controversial matters of punctuation.
Curse like a sailor, study like a scholar.
Are you ready for your most risque English lesson ever? I promise not to curse at you or offend you,
but i will be introduced introducing you to the following seven words using their actual spelling
holy shit no dashes stars or hashtags will be included to shield your delicate eyes but
considering it's all this all the all the name of learning it's okay fun fact for you
fun fact for you did you know that the combination of various symbols to represent an obscenity like
percent at hashtag money sign exclamation point is called growlix
growlix so when you oh wow okay i just learned that
when you put a bunch of symbols instead of writing the word out it's called growlix
oh my gosh they have what is this called the etymology of the top seven curse words so they
literally break down each curse word. What one do we want to start with? There's seven curse words.
We've got shit, piss, ass, hell, damn, bitch, fuck. Shit, piss, fuck, cunt, cocksucker,
motherfucker, tit. Dude, the fucking Blink-182 song, right? Shit, piss, fuck, cunt, cocksucker,
motherfucker, shit, shit, piss, fuck, cunt, cock, sucker, motherfucker, what song is this,
I forgot the name of it, uh, blink 182, uh, family reunion, this is the name of the fucking song,
family reunion, shit, piss, fuck, cunt, cock, sucker, motherfucker, tit, fart, turd, and twat,
shit, piss, fuck, I fucked your mom, and I want to suck my dad, I forgot this song, I gotta play it,

I remember just screaming this song with my friends in middle school
shit piss fuck cock sucker brother fucker tip bar turn it to a shit piss okay so let's like
break down some words here should we just start with fuck I mean the etymology of the top seven
curse words let's just start with fuck i'm curious so fuck uh is uh okay this is the big one
well one of the big ones the other big ones were a bit too big for us to put in print
wow okay what am i saying so the origin of fuck is early 16th century of germanic origin
okay um possibly from an indo-european root meaning strike meaning strike shared by latin
the latin meaning fist okay i don't this is fucking boring isn't it interesting that in
today's world it's more offensive to refer to compilation in a vulgar way vulgar way than it
is to wish eternal eternal damnation on someone I personally think our priorities are a bit
out of whack on this one but alas I don't make the rules what the fuck are you doing
oh fuck I stubbed my toe I'm so fucking tired that is fucked up
in conclusion I hope you feel as much as I'm reading this fucking post
I think I'm just gonna end the swearing segment with finding out about fuck it came
it's origins early 16th century it's from germany um that's what i'd expect i'd expect
fuck to come from the germans um but i'm just gonna say this i'm gonna end the swearing segment
with saying um i got coached on okay well my shout out to my dad he
like what did he say about swearing like he taught us how to emphasize swear words in the
right way like there's a way to say a swear word in a sentence to really give it a punch or like
to really pack a punch pack a punch so I remember learning how to do that really young um we also
had so for the longest time when we were kids we'd be in our van in our booster seats and did
you guys have booster seats like that was like a big deal we got booster seats that like they sat
us up higher it was like safer if you're a kid to be in a car in a booster seat apparently I don't
know um I think we got them at Costco where did we get those I don't know anyways but I remember
for the longest time, the only word we were allowed to say, the only cuss word we could
say out loud in front of our parents was, well, it wasn't even a cuss word.
We could say crap, crap, oh crap, oh crap.
I remember like crap, crap was the big, it was like thrown around left and right because
we couldn't say shit.
We couldn't say fuck.
It was always crap.
And then there was a, there was a moment when we matured there.
I have two other siblings, by the way, if you're like, okay, what's going on in the van? Like who's
all there? My parents and my two siblings. But I remember there's a moment when we, when we got
older and we matured where we could say shit. And I remember it started to slip out of me. It
started to come out. We started saying shit a little more often and it really made my mom mad.
I remember crap is okay. Crap is always okay. But then shit really made her go, come on guys,
don't swear cut that out you know she'd get really like oh my god stop swearing don't swear
even now when I swear she's super triggered like uh she's actually the reason I'm swear I feel like
I swear I probably swear every podcast but she's the reason I cut back so much she's part of the
reason because she's like or I even noticed in a really pop there's a really popular podcast I
listen to um or I used to listen to and I noticed how the cussing would take away from
the talking points and the content like it was cloudy it wasn't adding it was taking away
when I listened to the episode I was like it's you're riding on the cussing to a little too
much here or something like it just I noticed it from podcast host podcast host I was like oh
there's a there's levels to swearing like you can swear more you can swear less and so
anyways but yeah still to this day my mom doesn't like like we all swear but like she still
we'll go oh come on jacqueline don't say that um i'm trying to be a little more i don't know
grown and just sophisticated and posh and fucking
classy i gotta watch myself now but yeah i remember when shit was like a big like it started
we started saying it more and then it just kind of like shit it was like the floodgates are open
now we're saying fuck now we're just going out we're just yeah but um i can't believe my dad
well i can't believe it's so like i'm glad he taught us how to swear because there's a way to
do it there's a way to there's a way to say it and you know to really get your point across
with a with a swear word like if you're going to use them you got to say it right
um like how would i say that is fucked up in 10 ways like you could say that is fucked up
and it could mean so many
I'm so fucking
tired
so fucking tired
see
I'm so fucking tired
oh fuck oh I stumbled too
dude I have to piss
how classy was that
mom
so life is a highway
I want to ride it
all night long um what's this episode where are we at what did we cover i think i recapped it
already but like is there any other topics are there topics i want to keep going on
do we want to learn about any other cuss words like damn hell asses are kind of boring
i mean shit is like it's kind of comes from like feces from poop from
to defecate
which is inherently, like, shit is, like, feces are gross, and so it's kind of a negative word
as it is, so I feel like shit, what does it say here?
Even more interesting is the fact that the word shit actually used to be neutral,
with no vulgar connotations well i feel like in england or in the uk people say shit they say
shite wait what did they fucking say shite shit they don't i don't know if it's like
they'll be like oh that's shit that's shit that's shit that's shit they'll just like say
like that's bad that's shit i think yeah i don't know it's more nonchalant or it's like less of a
swear word seems like there but they have interesting dude I used to have this um
when I my dad got me a book before I um went to London
it was like full of British slang it was really interesting like some of the shit they say
maybe that'll be my trip this year I don't know it's probably not gonna happen this year but I
need to get back there i need to fucking like my evil plan is to find someone
to i just okay here's where i'm at i just want to fucking okay i'm probably going to date around
i don't know more a little bit more but like the end goal is to like lock it down get into a long
term serious committed relationship with someone and then like travel with them a little bit and
then like have like go back i want to take someone to london so bad i just want to like travel around
and do shit so yeah but i really think i need to get back there i have a travel bug like bigger
than ever now which used to not be the case for the longest time especially when i first moved
to california i was like i'm on vacation every day like i i it's starting to wear like it's kind
worn off a little bit i still feel like that but um for the first couple years i like didn't care
about flying to a different country and like traveling like i wasn't it wasn't on my radar
where now i'm like kind of eager i'm like i fucking i'm i have cabin fever of this country
and like get me out of here so yeah oh i think i'm gonna end it where's jim sometimes he lays
behind me and I'm like I feel like okay there's something about having a dog where you like
know where they are without looking like you can feel their presence or their energy like you can
just tell and he's not behind me but I thought he was like I felt him behind me but he's not
where is he he's probably in his little corner he's so weird like why do dogs prefer the hard
floor like I've got all these cute cushiony options for him to lay on and then he chooses
the hardwood floor like is it because it's cooler should i get him one of those beds
