Hello friends, welcome in on let's see Monday after a nice weekend of packing up a bunch of shit and drinking some alcohol watching some cool shit by the way. Let's see what did we watch this weekend? What did we finish? No, we watched a lot of the Nellie and Ashanti reality series, which look, I dig Nellie and Ashanti is fine as shit. So I enjoyed that. We didn't finish it, but we almost did. And then let's see we finished the Cowboys cheerleaders thing. Let's see what else do we watch? We started watching this. The

show on demand the stadium. It's like about the Cleveland Brown Stadium and the security in the stadium. Just a bunch of drunk people getting kicked out of the stadium. So that's fun. And then let's see. Oh, so there's a movie that came out about five years ago, five or six years ago called bros. And it is a gay romantic comedy with Billy Eichner from Billy on the street. And he was a great character on Parks and Rec Crazy Craig. I love the guy. I'm a big fan of Billy Eichner. And this is a, again, romantic comedy, a gay dude romantic comedy.

And if you eliminate like gay sex scenes, which I'm not against the idea of them being there, be gay and do you, I'm just not into watching dudes bang each other because I am a straight dude in the same way that I'm sure a gay guy watches a couple of you know, a dude and a chick banging it out and it's like, Ew, icky, or sees a vagina and it's like, like that. That is how I feel whenever I watch two dudes bone in a movie, right? But outside of that, like because again, it was a romcom. So just like you're gonna to watch like How

to Lose a Guy in 10 Days and Matthew McConaughey is going to bang Kate Hudson, there's going to be some bone and some gay bone and that goes down in the gay rom-com. So again, it's kind of awkward because I'm a straight dude and I'm used to watching like dudes and chicks in the Hallmark movies and stuff like that. It's a dude and a dude. But the movie itself was hysterical. It's on peacock now. So it's free if you got peacock. If you can handle two dudes banging like once or twice in a movie and giving each

other some sugars. Like again, it's not it's never going to seem normal to dudes who bang chicks or chicks that bang dudes. It's just not going to seem normal to do to bang chicks or chicks that bang just is just not going to write but the movie itself was actually very funny. It was a good movie Billy Eichner has always been a guy that I've thought is fucking hysterical. If you ever watched Billy on the street, it's an amazing show. Billy on when he was on Parks and Rec is crazy Craig was fantastic. So look,

I would I would say if you want to laugh like legitimately laugh a lot of this movie was great and it wasn't one of those movies that's got like a message that tries to beat you over the head with the message right? Sometimes you get these movies that are kind of on a taboo topic and they make sure to let you know that it's an important topic that they're discussing and it gets dramatic and bullshit. No, it was flat out the same shit that's going to happen in your basic

garden variety, Matthew McConaughey, Kate Hudson, rom-com, and it was good. I liked it a lot. So you should check it out. It's on Peacock and it's called Bros. I get it a lot. So you should check it out. It's on Peacock. And that's called Bros. I get it. You might be kind of weirded out by the idea of a dude on dude romcom. But it was fucking funny. It was really funny shit. So I mean, the first like half of the movie, I'm just laughing my ass off the entire time, man. So check that out. It's about five or six years old. I think it came out not too long before the

pandemic maybe. But it's called bros on peacocks. So check that out. All right, let's play some commercials and get rolling. Alright, so what do we got today? What's cooking today? What are people into today? I have been packing to try to get the hell out of St. Louis and we are moving in eight days. So I've just been packing boxes and shit all week and kind of doing a little bit of the time to try to make sure that I'm not overwhelmed like on Saturday or Sunday of this weekend, you know, like I'm

probably going to end up being or at least historically, I would have been because I'd wait too long to do this shit. So I just been packing shit and getting rid of shit. And, and you know, it's kind of weird, though, because we're coming up on the anniversary of Luther dying, he died on the eighth. So we're going to be moving on the day, the one year anniversary of Luther dying. And it's just so wild, man, like, like, everywhere I kind of go in these rooms, I find like little things like that were looters that we haven't gotten rid of. And I can't get myself to get riddle of a lot of them. Like jillies, like you got to go through this

stuff, because I don't think I can handle it. And you can probably handle them like sure I can handle it. And then I see stuff and I'm like, Nope, just get me a big tote. Give me a big like, you know, one of these big, you know, Rubbermaid type tote deals. And I'm just gonna throw it all in there. Like it like I have a tote that's got blankets and beds and toys. And I'm like, I can't get rid of it. Then Ross is in there with us while I'm doing it. And he starts finding Luther's toys that I had hidden away and

starts wanting to play with them. I'm like, No, chief, that's not how this is gonna work. It's like in that, that movie, we are Marshall, whenever like they're going through all the grieving process and one of the dudes that's new on the team goes into the dude's dorm room and just opens up the beer that had been sitting there for like a year since the dudes died, you know, and the dudes like what the fuck bro? Like that's kind of how I feel. I'm like whoa, let's pump the brakes there for a second pal that poss possum toy that raccoon toy that is not yours

that is luther's toy i was reading a um i was reading like a real right like i flipped through and now i'm being inundated with like dead dog reels you watch one or two of them and now it goes from seeing like titties and you know asses and like Sabrina Carpenter bending over all the time and shit till like getting dead dog things. I'm sitting dude I shit you not. I'm sitting on the commode yesterday as I do scrolling because we're all disgusting humans that sit on our toilet our toilets and look at our phones our hands about to be in our ass. And we're like nope, I'm scrolling scrolling gone to the days of the newspapers gone to the days of books. Nope, we don't read books or read newspapers or magazines on the commode or read the shampoo

bottle on the commode. No, we've got our phone and we're scrolling even though we know where that hand is going to go pretty soon. And I'm sitting on the toilet. And this woman posted this like nine or 10 slide thing that was all text about like when your dog dies and I just keep scrolling and I know I shouldn't keep scrolling and I know I shouldn't keep scrolling but as I scroll I just start sobbing on the fucking toilet. I'm sitting

there 10 200 on the toilet scrolling scrolling scrolling reading the you know the sad story about how your dog dies and how it's your soul dog. And I'm like, what the fuck is this? And I'm sobbing on the toilet, blubbering like a dipshit on the toilet, reading these things. And I now it's like, Oh, great. Here's a one eyed dog. And the picture says, I bet you won't even stop to give me a like. And I'm like, I know what you fuckers are doing. You're just trying to build up your likes here because it probably

means money for you but goddamn it, the poor dog's got one eye and he's adorable like, oh no, there's the picture where there's the one dog sitting next to the other dog that's got wings and it says, you know, they still talk about you. I know, goddamn it like, it doesn't hit me all the time. But sometimes it does more than others. And those are the kind of days like you know, this weekend as I'm packing stuff up and I'm finding stuff. And then like, you know, because today is

the 30th of June. So we're talking like a week, like eight days from now is when my dog day and you don't know your dog is going to die like that. You don't know that your dog is super sick in such a way. Like I'm looking at the pictures in my phone and on this day, a year ago, we're walking around the park, we're going to the bar, we're having a good time. A week later, dog is dead. It's just super fucked up how fast these kind of things can happen. And I'm aware it's just a dog. You know, Luther was just a dog. I understand he's not a human. But real talk, I love that dog more than I love 99% of

the humans on the planet, because he was a wonderful dog. And he was an asshole. But I loved him, right? And it's just kind of a weird. It's just weird as you start packing shit up because you're like, this is going to be the first time I moved somewhere. Like I moved to Houston the first time I left there in 2013. I left there in 2013 with Luther, and I made all of those moves with Luther. And now I'm making a move without Luther. It just feels weird. It's a weird feeling. And I know

that maybe you don't care. And maybe you're like, don't be a pussy. And I get that. And I can respect that because some people can't really relate to that kind of feeling that somebody has for their dog, the kind of love somebody has for their dog. And I get that like not everybody's built that way. A lot of people would just say you're a dipshit, whatever. But as you start packing stuff up and you start finding more shit, it's like, I miss this guy, you know, like

it's just there's an emptiness and I don't like and I am of the belief that you can get 1000 more dogs and these dogs can be wonderful and they can love you and they can be sweet and amazing. But I think everybody's got one dog when you have animals for an extended period of time that is just different and maybe it's because you know, Luther was my first real dog. I just I don't I will never feel that kind of affection for an animal again. It is a it is an impossibility for me to feel that way about a dog. Again, it's not that I

don't like Ross. I like Ross a lot. I love Ross. He's great. And he's wacky. And he's got he killed a fucking bunny, which by the way, update on the dead bunny, I made the mistake of throwing him in our garbage can outside, which I don't know where the fuck else to go with him. Where was I gonna go? It would have been right of me to like go down to the local gas station and throw it away in their garbage can or go down to another dumpster somewhere like

I would have felt kind of shitty about that. So I'm thinking I'll just throw him in. Oh, I just so happened to throw in the rotting carcass of a baby bunny in the garbage can. Hottest week ever. It's like 110 degrees here in St. Louis. It's never this hot. It's balls hot. It's suffocatingly middle of Texas, July, August hot. And I decided to throw a dead bunny into the garbage can. So you know what happens? It is stinking up the entire fucking neighborhood. The second you walk outside, you are engulfed. You are covered in the stench of this fucking bunny.

And I mean, it's all like, I almost feel compelled to go knock on the neighbor's door and be like, listen, bro, I understand that you're gonna smell this garbage goes out tomorrow night and I want to apologize. My other option was just to leave this dead bunny rotting in your yard, which I did for a day. But then I moved it moved it to the garbage can. Poor fucking bunnies dead. I

don't know what to do. Like so it just stinks and the garbage can is overflowing with shit because I'm trying to get rid of a lot of shit because we're moving. And it's like, Whoa, this smells awful. I was gonna say it smells like death. No shit. It smells like death. It smells terrible. So that's kind of where we are with the bunny. So the garbage comes tomorrow night. The garbage is overflowing and it smells awful. But any who so Ross is a wonderful dog and I appreciate his presence but it's and I

imagine this is how people feel about kids like parents will tell you they don't have a favorite kid or whatever. I don't buy that I do not buy that parents don't have a favorite kid. I believe all parents have a favorite kid. It just so happens that I've always been the favorite kid. I didn't choose that. I think I was probably my grandma's favorite grandkid. I'm probably my dad's favorite kid. I don't I didn't ask for this. I don't know if it's just because I'm super charming or what. I don't

know. This isn't an insult to the other people in my family. People do. You know what I think has benefited me greatly is not being around. Not being around makes me like an attractive commodity because when I come around, it's a big deal that I come around. So like I think if I were around all the time and people saw me all the time, it'd be like, oh, there's just Josh. But absence makes the heart grow fonder. And I think that makes people like me more even though I am decidedly the worst. Like I am an

asshole. I am snarky. I hold in my emotions around people so you don't realize that like I am deliberately like a closed off asshole around family members. Yet for whatever reason they like me more. Like my sister Emily is the sweetest person on the planet and she raises her son who has autism and she works her ass off and she's like and she's an amazing human. The sweetest person you're ever going to find and she doesn't complain she just keeps on going. Me, I complain about everything. I'm an asshole. I'm snarky. I'm all the shit and people love me for whatever reason and I'm like, why? Like I am an unlikable person people. Why do you like me so much? I am the worst.

Not that people don't like my sister, but my sister is like the sweetest human on the planet. The most likable, courteous, polite, sweet, lovely person and raises her son so well. She's so great. But for whatever reason, I guess because I don't live around there. People like look at me and they're like, we really like you, Josh. And I'm like, you shouldn't. You don't want to get caught up with a guy like me, Dottie. Things you couldn't understand. Things you shouldn't understand. Like that's how I feel. I'm a loner, Dottie, a rebel. I don't know why I am the way I am. And I don't know how I got into this diatribe here. I don't know if anybody has that kind of situation in their family too where because you're the one that's

kind of gone off. And I think me and my dad have a connection because I work in the same stuff that he works in. So I think he feels like sort of I just think I was like my dad's best buddy for a long time and my best buddy from like the time I was a young kid. I knew my dad was out slaying ass and I just kept secrets like I think because of the fact that I was able to keep all of my dad's secrets like we're just like bad boys for life. Whatever. I don't know. But any who I don't know how I got down that diatribe down that wormhole. I miss Luther anniversary of his death is coming up. We're going to be moving on the day of his death. I know people might say you're

fucking nuts for missing your dog so much but I do it doesn't like consume me. I'm not paralyzed by it. I'm not crippled by it. And there are days that I'll go by and not really think about it. And then there are some days I'm sitting on the commode and I'm seeing goddamn reels pop up on my phone about dead dogs and everything and I'm sobbing on the toilet before I wipe my ass. Anywho, more to come.
