Welcome to another beautiful episode of Grandpa and Chill. It's the gang. We're back again. It's hot as hell. And we're all here. I'm your producer, Sierra Doss. And we've got Phines Jackson, Brandon Fox, and Barton Frank. Bienvenido. Bienvenue. Yeah. So my tooth hurt when I first got my Invisalign and I was like, well, I was mad because I'd already told the doctor, like, did I tell you this or No, I didn't tell you this. I saw that it really hurt. Yeah. Okay. So, like, before I got the Invisalign, like a month or two before I had gone to the dentist because I was like, Hey, girl, my tooth kind of feels weird. Like when I try to, like, eat food on, like, this side of my face, like, it just really doesn't feel great. And I don't like that. And it wasn't happening before. And she's like, Well, did anything do you do anything to it? And I was like, I mean, I was eating like some Skittles, like I was eating some candy. And then I like maybe heard like a very loud, like crack, followed by some, like, shocking pain. But, you know, I did keep eating Skittles after that. And she was like, okay, well, let's look. And she was making fun of me and she was like, like, I was a dumb ass. Like, she doesn't know how to eat candy. And she's like, you know, they do like the bite tests and everything to, like, see how you're biting things down. And she put a little thing like a little plank in and she's like, okay, I want you to bite down. And she's like, Well, don't bite down. Like, you're eating Skittles. Just bite down like a normal person and just bite down. Literally, she was roasting me and I'm like, Ma'am, I need help. And so she's like, they did like an x ray, and they're like, Girl, I don't see anything. Are you sure? And I was like, I'm not sure. That's why I came here. And they're like, okay, well, just, you know, relax, you know, try not to eat like an animal anymore and, you know, go about your business. So then I went ahead and got the Invisalign, but as soon as I got it, it was like the like tray was like squeezing this tooth and I was like, okay. And I went back and I was like, I know exactly which tooth it is. It's this one right here. It's really hurting because of this. Let's look again. And so they did some more little like tests. They did like an ice cube test and they put an ice cube on the tooth and like, yeah, so like if you, if you, if you have like a crack. So, so basically she thought I had like a fractured, fractured tooth because they didn't see anything on the X-ray. But I reacted really bad to the ice cube test where they basically just like take a really cold ice cube and put it on the tooth to see. And if you react to it, like if you're really sensitive to it, there's something going on in there. And I was like, Oh. So it's. Like, okay, so maybe like a really small fracture or like somewhere like in a weird place where we can't exactly see it, but like, I can't fix it if like, I can't find it. So you don't want me to, like, replace a tooth, like, for something small because it may just heal on its own. So she was like, you know, maybe just like, don't eat Skittles like a maniac anymore and, you know, just, you know, take it easy on the tooth. And I was like, well, thank you, I guess. And so then I went home and I was embarrassed because I broke my tooth eating candy. But it's a lot better now. So I'm not having like as many problems with it. And I'm on like my third Invisalign tray, so I'm about 17 and a half. No, no, I'm like 16 and a half months left. How how long does it take? The full period of time to do what needs to be done? I guess it depends on how much your teeth are out of alignment or whatever, but. Yeah, it like depends on like how often you wear it, how often you wear the tray. Like if you're actually wearing it when you're supposed to because they're supposed to be in like toe to 22 hours a day, I think. Wow, wow. Yeah. So like, you literally can only you can't you're not supposed you can only, only supposed to drink water with it, basically like cold water with a man you can't have. You're not supposed to have tea or coffee or even like iced coffee or anything like that. So you really got to plan out. Is a snack worth it? Is a snack really worth. You got to take them out and then find a tissue and then eat and then it's not clean. And you really can't. Yeah, yeah. And as long as you clean and put it back in, I just feel like figure. It's like a, like a sorry. Oh, this seems like a trap. No, you go to prison, nunnery. I don't know. It makes it seem like you can't do anything for that for 2 hours to do. I know everything else can do anything else. I only drink water. And I really got to figure out, like, okay, like, is this snack really worth it? Because if I eat, like, this apple or this nectarine, I can probably just, like, power, rinse that out and then keep going. Like if I'm like on the go or I'm like rushing or something, but I'm like this ice cream cone, that's a whole commitment. I'm going to have to scrub that out because you can't let like sugar or like alcohol just like, sit on your teeth and then like, pack these trays on top of it because you're going to get cavities. Oh, yeah. I didn't realize that people could have ice on their teeth and not react. It sounds crazy. Well, not like badly. Like you can read. Like you can, like, be like, oh, well, this was cold and I didn't like that, but I was like immediately I was like, ma'am, she's like, okay. Oh three. How is drinking ice water for you right. Now? I have really sensitive teeth. So like if I drink ice water or like I get I bite into like an ice cream sandwich and I get the cold on my teeth. It's like, got so gross feeling. Yeah I read where they have people offer these Invisalign at a much reduced rate but you don't go through like a regular dental dentist. They sort of do it online or something. Do you know anything about that? Like, sounds familiar. I know you can go through Invisalign and like or something similar to that, like the invisible braces. You can get something like that without a doctor necessarily, but you won't have like that supervision. So like I'm going to get a checkup every like six or eight weeks and they'll be like, okay, well, did this work? Is it is everything moving at the right pace? Like, we don't have any issues because I know I had I know they told me I may have I may need gum surgery as my teeth move or if you have like this coloring, you're gonna have to figure that out on your own. Like if you aren't following the instructions or whatever, or if you're mostly following them and the tray gets stained or it stain your teeth end up getting stained because you're drinking like iced coffee or something and the mean in between that kind of thing. But you can definitely do it on your own. Oh, I don't know whether it's the brace you're wearing or the Invisalign, but you look great. I'm in a much better mood. Yeah, you look like you're much more relaxed and you know, you're just fine. You know? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Thank you. Thank you. Brian Young. You do. You've got your nice t shirt on. Well. You've seen the movie Tootsie when they kept telling him to move, move her back further from the TV camera. That's how I feel. I knew how rosy I was. Rosy, grandma. She's fine. She's right up on top of the monitor right now. We love it. Yeah, she's okay. Did she see less or more aggressive? Since. Since. Since the accident. I'm sorry. I couldn't quite hear you. What? Oh, is she more aggressive or less aggressive? Has she changed any? Has he been effective? No, I think she's pretty much the same now. Some of the other birds, when the weather gets nice like this, they kind of their hormones go up and they get more crazy for sure. They get really more and more dominant. Are they are they neuter you neuter birds now? And I don't know if you neuter birds. I don't think. So. They could have babies. They could I mean, they they lay eggs, but I had one egg I found about two years ago in the one small egg. And that was all I've ever seen. Interesting. Jane. Small egg. Oh, in Atlantic City today, there was a guy with a falcons. He had a falcon with him. And the falcon would fly away like, I don't know, 100 yards and then come back to him. And it was amazing. Beautiful Ocean City, right? Oh, wow. Yeah, Ocean City. That's right. Yeah. So. Brandon, the play that you're going to be in in Maine, you said that you really have a as much of a lead of a part in that play. More of a part more. I said, Yeah. It's a two person play. And I'll just two people. And what is the name of the play? It's called World Builders. World Builder. Yes. I have a problem here and a little bit. So what's it about? It's two people who have schizoid personality disorder. It's not schizophrenia, but it's like a cluster, a personality disorder. Have you heard of it, Grampa? No. What's his name? The. The the condition again, it's called schizoid. I know it's schizophrenic means, but yeah. It's different than that. Similar tendencies, but they two these two people they go to a treatment facility and it for a fictional drug that like starts curing them but they don't want to be cured and they kind of fall in love. And it's just the two characters in the treatment facility for like maybe like an hour and a half or something like that. That's the whole play. So. Oh. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yep, yep, yep. How many, how many, how many days or nights are you performing? 15 performances. But the run is over like three or four weeks. So three or four weeks, 15 performances over three or four weeks. Yeah, they're only allowed to do five performances a week. So I say, yeah, yep, yep, yep. And Phines, how's your artwork coming along? Oh, I'm pretty good. Working on things. Working on a wedding gift of some friends and some drawing things I got. I mean, I'm. There's one on my desk right now, my laptop over it the end. And something on it is. Oh, how nice. Yeah. Hands or something. Oh yeah. Oh I found a life sized mirror. I have like a long mirror, this in a dumpster a couple days ago and it's like a, like almost to the ceiling, like a real thin one. And now it's like, get in front of my laptop. I spend most of my day, is looking at myself, is great. For real estate. What do you feel when you're looking at yourself all day? Also, just all types of feelings. I guess most of them are probably pretty like, huh? I don't know. I mean, I like I like getting another mirror and just trying to see how much of my room I can see with that other mirror, like, and I'm like, you point out that, you know, you just do a bunch of mirrors. Yeah. When I, when I see myself in the mirror, like, oh, whatever. But if, if I ever pass by like a room or an elevator that has the mirror and then like the other mirror, and then you can see yourself from behind. I'm like, Oh, my God. Like, that's who I am. Like, that's what people see walking by and I'm like, Okay. So yeah. Well, at least you don't have a big bald spot like me. Well, you can't see the back of my head right now, girl. You know, it's just another. It's just another mirror. If you keep it clean enough of it. This could be the most elaborate comb over you've ever seen. You don't know my life. Yeah, exactly. You don't know who I am. If you don't know me. How could you do that? Brandon, are you staying in Atlanta because of your lady friend there or because I know, like, hasn't New York opened up? I have to be here for the talent agent that I have. And, yeah, I mean, I don't know. I just have, like, everything settled here, all my stuff here, everything. Oh, definitely. At least another year. But I see. I don't know why. But I know you moved there because of COVID originally, I think. Yeah. And this agent. New York had shut down agent like now it's. Required me to come here. But I don't know. Yeah, everything's really up in the air. I'm trying to figure a lot of stuff out. So I'm. Yeah. About what? About any new projects. What are your projects, Grampa? Projects. Projects? Yeah. Well, I keep thinking about what I'm going to do, but I guess I just don't get around to things sometimes. That's been a little bit like sideways or lazy about doing things, but I do a lot of cleaning and that and that. That's a lot of work cleaning and just hopefully I'll do something with music. I don't know for sure right now what's going to happen. Yeah, the, the night of where we were all hanging out Phines? Where I went to Philadelphia, I stayed on Grandpa's couch for like just that one night. And what is it, Chester or P.T.? Which one? Which one goes on in the living room? Mostly Petey. But Chester goes in there, too. Yeah. Pete is a smaller bird. No, I think it was a bigger one. It might have been Chester. The bigger, real colorful, maybe. Yeah. What would sneak out of the bird room starting at five in the morning and just swoop towards my head over and over and over and over again? I woke up at five, 536, 637, and they leave like the craziest mess. They're so loud or like. Oh yeah, we all unbelievably loud. And that's why I didn't think your you and your lady friend would be. Would be. Yeah. Yeah. So I stayed one night. I was like, I'm the deepest sleeper. Nothing bothers me. Like, it's totally fine. And this bird kept attacking my fucking heads, but over and it would like there's like, what is. Over that to the left, there's like a TV or something and you just or a lamp. There's a lamp. Any lamp, lamp and like stare at me. And then as soon as I lay down the swoop on me again. Why are all of your animals just nuts? And I. Well, I mean, you sit there, it sounds like you came at the worst time of the year for the birds because they're. Oh, yeah. Oh, maybe that's what's going on there. Just horny. There's another one. Are you kidding me? My God, Barbie. Linda, what the. Hell is that? I this week I was driving down a country road, and I saw a pretty good sized turtle in the middle of the road. It was real. The highway. And I pick them up. I guess it was about, I'd say six inches in diameter. And I picked them up, picked them up and I put some grab on, took them home. But I then found. Out. That that it's against the law to take them, to pick them up. It's considered an endangered species. It's just a regular, I guess what that was a called I forgot a box turtle. Real cute. Real cute over and he was friendly. Didn't try to get away or anything. He stuck his head out and you know, like he was trying to say hello. But we we took him back to the woods that same evening because I when I got him home, I started reading about it. And it's against the law in Pennsylvania to to take them take them away from wherever you find them. Did you put them in that? I didn't. Was. Oh, so. Now took them to a different park. How much trouble have you been on, been in for exotic animals since you've had so many trouble? Did you say. It's like your third strike for exotic animals? Oh, yeah. Well, I mean, I. I bought a lion one time, and I actually bought it for a friend of mine, and he. I had it for about a week or two and then gave it to him and but it was just a baby lion. And I've had jungle cats and things I really haven't had problems with. And they're just a lot of work to take care of an animal, you know? Really. What were you feeding the lion? What was I feeding it? Yeah, I guess. Meat, you know, bones, meat, things like that. But it was very small. It was maybe maybe a foot a foot long. It was a baby, basic baby lion. And I've had jungle cats. I've had I've had ocelots. Ocelots are difficult. They're they're very timid. And they're but they're, you know, they're very sharp claws and they're much larger than a regular cat. I once took it out one of them I had I took it out to a friend of mine who had like three or four cats. And as soon as those other cats saw it, their hair went up on their back. And I got a backed away from them from the feeding thing. The ocelot just walked over there. Much larger paws and claws than a regular cat. What? What? What did your friend do with the lion? Well, unfortunately, I shouldn't have given it to him. He was one of these guys that was like a promoter type guy, and he would drag it out to sports events and things at the school at Penn State. That was not good for the animal. And after that, I don't really know what happened to it. I don't know. But but I don't think it's a good idea to keep wild animals. I would think so. Yeah. Agreed. Even these birds are an awful lot of work. And speaking of bad ideas. Yes. Mhm. These congressional hearings have been the highlight of my hot girl Summer. Let me tell you. Let me tell you funny shit on cable TV. That shit on C-SPAN. Nothing like it. Yeah, I'm. I totally agree. Yeah. Fantastic. They were saying yesterday how the true president of America, the true president of Earth, was out here throwing dishes in the presidential dining room, throwing plates, pulling at tablecloths, but making sure that everything fell off the table so someone had to clean it up, try to choke out a Secret Service member. Funny you should, I what? What is it? Yeah. Is that funny? The congressional hearings. Ran it. For the for the. Kind of the same beer. You're talking about. Trump did all that? Yes. Yeah, yeah, yeah. He got really mad. He I listen to it like. Yeah, no, go ahead. You got. I'm sorry. Now just saying I didn't listen to anything about I am listening to like highlights of what's going on and it has been unbelievable. Every time I hear it, I'm like, this has got to be like an SNL skit or something. It's hilarious. You know, been unbelievable. Every young woman, Brandon, who worked in the White House and she's been testifying about his behavior, which is not what you'd consider presidential. And he was just like a big baby, right? He was she was talking she talked a lot about this was like literally yesterday. She talked a lot about how, uh, she talked about that. She talked about how basically on the six she worked for Mark Meadows, who is the chief of staff at the time. And that's the guy you guys will hear a lot about. Like whenever you pretty much any time you've heard like a story this year about like some crazy email or text message conversation between like a really important person, like Clarence Thomas's ugly wife or, you know, someone else, like very important to democracy. Like it's almost always a conversation with Mark Meadows, like over text or email. So her so he, she worked for him in his office and she like was talking about how, you know, like on the sixth they were like, well, first of all, they knew that there was going to be violence. Like it was very like they had like intelligence reports and like arrest reports like before everything happened, like days before. And so they were all very aware that there was a high risk of violence and they were like, that's fine. And then on the day it was happening, like, they're like, hey, you know, there's like lowkey like a mob of people. I don't know if that was, if that was our goal. And she was saying that Mark Meadows was basically just like, mm mm mm. And he was sitting on the couch in his office, on the phone, on tick tock, whatever the hell he was doing. And then she was like, Hey, girl, like, it's kind of like the mob is like definitely heading like towards us, like towards the Capitol. Like, are we cool with that? We like that doesn't sound great. And he's like, for sure, for sure, for sure. She's like, okay, so the mob is like in the Capitol building. I don't know if you know those. They're like in there now. Like, it's really not great. We have a plan. We know what's going on. And he's like, Oh, okay, fine. I'll go. Ask the president. What he wants to do, my God. And so then, you know, they're like, Hey, girl, they're kind of like shouting, like some really weird stuff. It's like, like, you know, like, stop the steal and, like, hang Mike Pence. And it's like, super weird, you know, that they're saying that's like, really not great. Then is there anything we can do about that? And the true president of Earth was like,"I mean, if the shoe fits, I mean, I kind of deserve that again. He deserves it. Am I right? Like, I mean, am I wrong on this?" And then he didn't do anything—as we already knew. Um, we also found out that there were actual idiots, like, trying to go to his rally with, like, knives, plural, tasers and brass knuckles AR 15 and, well, they were trying to get into the into the rally with those things. And like they're going through metal detector. They're going through metal detectors, and AR-15s and getting them confiscated. And he was mad. He's like, "Let them through." And they're like, "What's wrong? Are you stupid? Like, Oh, we can't let them through." And he's like, "Well, they're not here for me. I don't care what they do. I mean, all these—I need butts in seats, I need a packed stadium for this!" And so so he knew that there were armed people that day, but he didn't really care because he knew why they were there. And that was all just yesterday. Yesterday it was kind of wild. I would highly recommend watching it or listening to it. You can find it. My my dad's been listening to it. If you go to like the Rachel Maddow Show, I think on Spotify, they just have the full they have the full hearing. They basically post to the full hearing, like on their podcast. And I think those also have like some pre commentary and some post commentary to kind of like break down whatever the fuck you just heard at the hearing. You can also watch them on C-SPAN. That's what I've been doing is like one of the most reliable. So this person's name is Cassidy Hutchinson. Yeah, yeah. And Cassidy. Hutchinson says, I first noticed there was ketchup drifting, dripping down the wall and there's a shattered porcelain plate on the floor. The valet had articulated that the president was extremely angry at the attorney general's interview and had thrown his lunch against the wall. It was probably a steak covering ketchup. There were several times she testifies that I was aware of him either throwing dishes or flipping the tablecloth all all the contents of the table going to the floor. When the head of Secret Service detail, Bobby Engle, refused to drive him to the Capitol. So the president reached up towards the front of the vehicle to grab at the steering wheel. Mr. Engle grabbed his arm, said, Sir, you need to take your hand off the steering wheel. We're going back to the West Wing. Mr. Trump then. Used his free hand to lunge towards Bobby in the direction of his. So he tried to grab he tried to choke out. He was supposed. To. He was supposed to attend this rally. Trump was supposed to attend and the Secret Service wouldn't allow him to. But but the important thing here is that they knew that these people had weapons and and he ordered the Secret Service to to do away with the Magnum. But what is it might not make dominance at the check for weapons because he wanted to have a big crowd. He said well, they're not they're not here to hurt me. He said "If you're not going to let them bring in their AKs and their brass knuckles, then they're going to want to go home. Just let 'em through!" That's unbelievable. This is a President. It's so embarrassing living here. A nutcase. No, it's been real wild that. But the sad thing is that a lot of people are backing him up and that that's the scary thing about it. So so far. Threw Jim Jordan under the bus yesterday that show was funny too. Who's that? He's like a senator in Ohio. Had a super bad scandal last year, I think, for allegedly doing nothing while people were reporting, I think was like a college or his college, like a bunch of wrestlers were getting molested by their coaches and they kept trying to report and get help. And Jim didn't do anything, if you can believe it. A Republican didn't help anybody. So he knew about it for years and did nothing. So now they call him Gym Jordan. Like the gymnasium? Yeah. Yeah, they they. Okay. Well, every everyone connected with Trump, it looks like they're super embarrassed. Yeah, it's. All. They're all garbage. Every one of them. So much fun. But yeah, I would highly recommend listening to them. I mean, even if, you know, you don't really care. It's just funny, honestly, half of it is just funny because it's just like so much incompetence on so many levels. So bad. Yeah, it's so. It's so bad. Well, the Fox News, you can't believe anything that they report, but they're saying that they have a a secret Service man that disputes what the young lady said regarding him pulling on the steering wheel in the vehicle that they say they have someone in the Secret Service, but so far they haven't tested. I can't do nothing with that because, you know what? Do you know what? They also showed me yesterday for like the fourth time at them hearings, they showed me all them cute little text messages that Sean HANNITY was sending to the chief of staff and autumn text messages that Laura Ingraham, a Nazi lady Laura Ingraham, was sending to the chief of staff. So I ain't seen no record of all of her text messages since apparently, you know, cable news stations just be talking to, you know, the federal government like that. I haven't seen all those yet. So I would need to see all that before I ever saw some dummy showing up on Fox News. You know who else was on fire? You know who else like Fox News? Half of them. Capitol Police. They got beat up last year. The guy that one of the guys that died, their family was like, I'd still. Vote for him. I'll do it. Embarrassing guy that you're talking about. The police officer just passed away, right? He was one of the heads or something. I don't. Know. It was one of the original ones. One of the first. One of the first. During during. One of them was criticized for not for not setting it up with the National. Guard. Most of them are Trump supporters. I mean, they're cops paid. He died this this week early. I think I did hear something like that, like another one of them that did pass away. But most of them are Trump supporters, which was crazy because I'm like, how were you not in the loop embarrassing. Eric Van. Gogh. Fake van couldn't be mean. Something happens. Oh, the itself was like a documentary. And I know I'm not going to ask a silly question that because that's going be the season finale, of course, is going to be Trump's going to finally be able to talk on Talk Z. Is he going to. He's been on truth social. He's been very angry on truth social because last week, last week, I think truth social is the great value Twitter. It's literally like they literally rip off Twitter. It's because, you know, he got banned from Twitter for encouraging people to not go home and stop committing white terror. So he got banned from Twitter and then he made his own little fake Twitter that barely work, that barely functions. It's called truth that. I'm a Trump now, right? Yeah, it's called truth social. They're not tweets, they're truths. So you post your truth. So, you know, whenever he, like, makes, like a string of, like, grammatically incorrect posts, somebody got to say, oh, you know, the former bomb, you know, posted like 19 truths on truth social. So he did so before last week on their people kept getting banned and suspended for even mentioning the hearings. But then this week, when Cassidy Hutchinson testified, he had like a whole string of truths where he was like, Oh, she's like a fake fan, you know, she's a clown, basically called her a clout chaser. He was like, I don't even know who she is. Like, like basically gave like the coffee person, the coffee runner excuse and was like, you know, I would never make her clean up, catch up. I don't even know this bitch like was basically what he said. Basically what he said. He was like, I would never make, you know. Because I don't know her. So he is he is very vocal. He's like, we should have equal time. You should have equal time where the equal time, even though none of them are coming in to testify. But you did remind me that there is apparently a we're going to have more hearings next month because there is apparently there was apparently a documentary crew filming the true president of Earth and his family right up until the day of the terror attack. So they have an hour of. Footage that. The committee has to go through. So they took a break and they're going to come back in July and it's going to be amazing. Well, you're very sophisticated the way you present it. Super exciting. I'm super excited. There's not much left to look out to to look forward to in this country. But these hearings, sometimes that's all I got left. His modus operandi is always to whoever accuses him of anything he says. I want him to know that they're not an important person. You know, that's just it always comes back. He even tried to say that about his daughter. Did you see that? Like a couple, like I think it was last week. Maybe it was like a week or two ago. They like the comedy, like shared a clip of Ivanka. I think she was saying she admitted at some point, I think in her testimony that like the election like that he lost and he was basically like she doesn't even know what she's talking about. Like she was already like checked out by that. She was mentally checked out by this time. So she doesn't. Know. She's confused. She didn't know what's going on. Hope it doesn't get better than that. Can't write TV TV rights herself. He does. You know. I can't wait to see this documentary, bro. Could have been a real disaster if, you know, if if Pence hadn't gone ahead and and certified the election. A strong winner of the not as big a jerk as you could have been award right? Mm hmm. What else has been embarrassing? Scott is. Super fun. Super fun. There was a lot of, um, a lot of like liberals who were in nihilistic and they're like, well, you know, I want to vote for Trump because I don't like Hillary and I don't care. And it's like, you know, it won't actually like do whatever. And then the ramifications of like all of his judge placements have led to, like what what's happened with the abortion Roe v Wade. It's really so bad. Really bad. I don't know if I'm being fair, but I'm a little and I don't know whether it's a fair thing to say. But I'm a little bit disappointed with Biden. I still back him up. I mean, I voted for him. But but I just with the issues in the Ukraine, he doesn't he doesn't seem to me to have a strong enough hand. Now, maybe he really doesn't have a choice in things, but I'm just, you know, annoyed that more can't be done in Ukraine, that more can't be done. Well, I'm hoping that the attorney general will prosecute Trump. I don't know whether he will. The way that we don't even know that he's going to do that for sure is. Why this administration is so embarrassing and disappointing, the fact that every day we learn like a new, like super terrible, like federal crime or like hugely illegal conspiracy, that like the previous administration and everyone that worked for him was incredibly complicit in like every day, the more more evidence, not even more evidence, more actual crimes, like it added to the list of things that we can all see with our eyes. And every day we're like, Hmm, I wonder if anything's going to happen. I wonder. I wonder if he's ever going to go to not even go to jail. I wonder if he's ever just going to actually get arrested or prosecuted or, you know, expose it all. Shouldn't be on. My I mean, I've been listening to this now forever, two years with Rachel MADDOW and and O'Donnell and Chris Hayes. And so far, nothing is really he's never been held accountable for anything, not even a hit. You know, he he was he was in default with banks before he became president. And for whatever reason, they let him go. And he was in financial default. I mean, they're all still here, like, quite frankly, like if I like him that hard and then lost that embarrassingly, I would be in like Lithuania or Tijuana by now. Like I would be so far down in Argentina. Like I would be hanging with the penguins in Argentina right now. But they're all just here. They're still just chillin. He's in Florida vibing out because he's fine. God forbid he would become president again. We could really lose our democracy totally. You know. But yeah, I agree with you. The administration has been very, very disappointing. I mean I mean, do you do you feel that Biden has done enough in his presidency that he's, you know, done the best that can be done? No, no, not with anything. I don't either. I mean, yeah, there's even, like small things that he could be doing, but he's, you know, still acting like he doesn't have any control over the Senate or his party and, you know, still hasn't done just like, small things to, like, solidify any faith, you know, in American ones. I still have student debt that I shouldn't have either. There's still like weed is still illegal. People are still in prison for weed. Like, you know, we one thing and we were just like we were wrong. You know, everybody can come out, but please don't do it anymore. Like, I don't know, one or the other go one way or the other way, you know, let everybody out or stop prosecuting it. But, you know, can't even do that kind of lukewarm. I mean, probably the best thing he's done has been COVID response. So even that hasn't been spectacular. And part of that, I think, is because of the courts, again, because didn't they rule that like you can't make people wear masks and stuff on a plane? I think I don't know. I think so. It's gonna sounds familiar. So, you know, I won't put that all on him, but, you know, overall just in bear because. He just doesn't have enough support in the Senate. And now the action is required for this. Yeah, that's what you know. Trump had zero skills and you know what we have now? We have we have no female health protections. We have no health protections as we travel an interest rate internationally, we still have these child we still have these concentration camps at the border that still exist, that they're still operating. We still have non we still have non-harmful not even non-harmful medicinal medicinally beneficial drugs or substances being federally criminally penalized. Things are just aren't necessary. We still have shitty schools as the schools. Schools are still shit all across the country. There is no rhyme or reason you can you can teach people that, you know, maple sirup comes from Santa Claus and condoms don't work. And slavery was just there. There wasn't really slavery. It was more just strict immigration permissions. You know, people can still legally teach those things. People can legally teach us things depending on where you live. You just have to, as a parent, hope that, you know, when you drop your kid off to school, one, they're going to live. By the time you pick up, they going to be alive. By the time you pick them up and to you know that they actually learn something that is, you know, within the realm of reality. You know, it's terrible. It's embarrassing. We needed. Like and they're saying that the Supreme Court, we don't know may make move a much further in terms of. Gay marriage. Taking away freedoms. I mean, they, they pretty much promised it. Yeah. Clarence Pretty much promised, you know. Thomas Yeah. You know, I haven't heard I never heard that man say a damn word. In all my. 24 years, the life. And now it's like, wow. Oh, well, I've been waiting for this one here. We go, okay, let's see. Let's see. All right, all right, all right, all right. We got them. We got them whores out of the way. What's next? We can get a. Couple. More the next hour. I'm going to get them. We're going get the gays next gay room. Get them. You're gonna get them trans people out of here. Interracial. Well, not that one. Not that one. We're going to get. What, what, what. Everything but his. So I got mine. I got mine. Really. So about the American public embarrassing. Yeah. I can like his whole wife isn't a terrorist. I mean, I don't know why I'm blaming his wife. I'm sure he is. Two birds of a feather, you know, get married and then take over the Supreme Court. But I feel like I feel like I'm talking a lot. How do you guys feel? Good. I'm bringing up his. Why? He's unwilling to exclude himself from decisions that will be made that where his wife has been very involved. And she literally started this like. We're going to find out. She started it, bro. This is let me see. How do I feel about all this stuff? Shenanigans. Shenanigans. How's Biden doing? It's the same as other presidents will probably do in the future. Maybe not, but it could be worse now. It could be Trump. So this could be Trump's is always going to be Jimmy Carter's, you know, the Internet out there all around. The same, though. Hmm. I don't know. I keep being surprised by any of this stuff. I'm just like every day I was like, I don't know. It doesn't. None of it surprising me. I love it. I yeah. I don't. Know. I don't know. Age is. Way saturated. I listen to podcasts all day too. I wake up and I hear it all day. I'm like, Yeah, this and that. And this is like on one ear and out the other. I'm just like, I don't care. I'm just trying to pay. I don't care. I don't care. I wish that I actually you know what? I'm a hater. I hate that people care this much about these people. I'm like they I got life care about me. Look at my story. Look at me now. Look at the drama I did. No, I'm not a school nurse. But it's interesting. I guess this is America that we're living in and it's affecting me every day. I should be involved with it. But that's something else that kind of bothers me, is that I can follow it as much as I do, and I still feel and you can vote and stuff, and I still feel very out of control when this whole thing, which also makes me want to opt out of it a little bit, I mean, I can't opt out of it, but it's just, you know, they seem to be I don't know if I speak for a lot of people, but it seems to be like Americans not doing a good job of making people want to be like, you know, they say like, oh, vote and be involved. I don't know. It doesn't seem like it doesn't it seems a lot harder than are not seem part of it seems like kind of out of the reach sometimes especially if you like are like someone that has to work all the time. Yeah. And have like, you know, it's like you can't even. Yeah. But if you don't. Vote you got to work and. You're going to have even worse situations. I don't know. Who knows. I would try not voting. I'm just like, I don't know. I get that. It's like a threat. It's it's like it's like they are threatening us. They're like, okay, well, what's that? Oh, you hate your life. Well, guess what, bitch, if you don't fucking vote for me, it's going to get even worse, I promise you. And it's like, okay, well, damn. Like, my options are like, piss or shit. Yeah. They are. I heard this podcast one time. I think this is like two or three years ago where something they were talking about how like their dad like went into office or something like in his fifties and you know, he had never like been into politics, but what he wanted to like and how he always preached that like, oh yeah, the government is just like us in the US, like we can do whatever and I don't know, like, yes, I guess, but I remember hearing that and being kind of pissed off because it's like kind of but also like you can win the popular vote and then Trump goes into office and then he picks the Supreme Court justices and then, you know, like and, you know, it's a lot of like very big lobbyists that are influencing, like who gets passed and what law. You know, it doesn't feel it feels like a very small amount of people that are a part of corporations with a very large amount of money are actually controlling everything. But yeah, it seems all about sales and. Yeah, yeah, it is. And it is capitalism. I know that you were talking about it all the time, Phines, but it's like always. Always. Yeah. It seems like a flawed systems. Like, we're gonna end up in the same problem no matter how it's like this little. This little sketches. Capitalism. Like, I bet if we get the we change it all up and say, like, let's try again with capitalism will be complaining about something very similar to what we're talking about right now. Yes. And some different. And I was looking a lot into capitalism because one of you bring it up a lot, but also like the play, like they touch on capitalism lot. They like you came and saw and stuff like that. And I don't know how well or not. Well, the ideas in the play were fleshed out, but like of the stuff that read personally about capitalism was yeah, yeah. I mean, I don't know what I would do if I was ruler of the world and could make a perfect system. But I don't think that late stage capitalism is it. But or the lobbyists definitely, you know, have a lot of influence over. What what was the past and whatever. And I think as far as influence, I think that Trump's been influenced a lot by Putin, unfortunately. Yeah. Like then look how that makes taken down. Can you imagine if he had one again? Oh, my God. What? Well, what you're talking about with the Russia, Putin or Ukraine with you. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I mean, that's that's an insane thought. I don't I don't know. Ukraine would be a crater right now. Yeah, right. Right. I mean, all of a that buying in is sending to the Ukraine against Putin. Yeah. Yeah. But, but even I think more devious or scandalous than that would be like I don't know what you know. Like I think when, when Trump. Over with Putin. When Trump met with Putin, he would not allow any American to to take down notes or record any anything in their conversations. He wouldn't even allow an American interpreter in in the room. I remember that. He met with Putin. What does that tell you? Didn't he like didn't he have like some like Russian like emissaries or something like in the Oval Office? Like within like the first few days he got elected, it was like something I remember or something really weird. He had like a really weird meeting that like, again, like, like you said, like there was no one there but the, the guests. Well, there there's a huge push. There is a huge push from like Russian troll farms. And like the the people that I, I think it was like nine out of ten Facebook groups that are political or whatever were started by Russian bots. Yeah, for U.S. politics. And there was a huge interest in like Trump winning from all of the Russian bots, which I find interesting. I don't know what specifically, but, you know. Yeah. Sounds like we're screwed. But what else is now? Every day and I know a lot of people in our country are, you know, so dissatisfied with what things have been in the past and where they're at now. And and you say, well, I don't what's the point of voting? But I think you still have to push back and try to try to change our society and make it as good, you know, make it more fair for everybody. Yeah, definitely still vote, especially locally. Always vote locally because that's when they that's what they hate the most. If anything, everybody out there just vote out of spite. If well, if we let the Republicans take over entirely, you won't have any freedoms in this country. But while you can, I guess I should say to all of my all of my women listeners and all my non-binary listeners, all my listeners of color vote while you can write. Yeah. Mm hmm. Yeah, you're for it. And I know women are, like, pretty upset about this abortion situation. And a lot of men are, too. But, you know, the idea that you don't have control over your own body and I can see a lot of problems with this. For instance, if a woman doesn't want to have a child and she has an abortion and she's out of a relationship with the fellow that got her pregnant, he can use that against her, threaten her criminally. You know. People do that every day. It's just a just a very bad situation, what they do. So I was just telling somebody, you know, all of those like all those incels out there, you know, all those like angry little like boys and men that, you know, are mad at some woman or some girl for whatever stupid reason. They just lie and just tell somebody that you had an abortion. It doesn't even have to be true. Like it. There's like there's the risk of doing it and then having someone report you. And then there's the bigger risk of someone false reporting you. Because I'm sure in all these other states where, you know, they have all these where they've already enacted, like all these trigger laws or whatever they're called, you know, it's going to they're going to put your name out there. They're going to they're going to doctor you. Basically, if you get accused of this just terrible, it's going to fuck up your job, then you really won't have any health care. There's already so many states in the country that have either no protections against child marriage or specific allowances for child marriage. All of those children are at risk. We're at greater risk of never being able to escape the abusive situation found themselves in. Um, anyone who needs it for a medical reason. If you have like a, a complication in your pregnancy for a child you do want that's just going to die in there or sit there just dead and you just won't be able to get rid of it. And so you hit, you know, until you, you give birth and you have a stillborn, a stillbirth, all those people are still going to have to deal with that. Any disabled or challenged people that cannot communicate the kind of people that are often or at risk of being abused because they cannot speak for themselves and they cannot communicate that they are being abused. Those people will have to endure a those people are at risk of enduring a pregnancy or pregnancy complications because they cannot advocate for themselves. BNR That seems to matter, yeah. Trump and McConnell, right? In fact, the courts with people that two of them, I believe two of the justices said that pretty much said that they wouldn't change, you know, what had been the law for 50 years. They went right ahead and changed. They said. This was in the the wrong. Last time. Now, we voted for them. Now say that they're disappointed, but who really knows what their real is in the back of. Their you know, I mean, yeah, a lot of stuff is blatant. I'm sorry. Like every time I watch, you know, any type of well, previous to this last one where someone, a cop actually got in trouble. But I think it's like so blatant, like, it's almost silly when I see court cases of like, oh, this is like they're going to actually be justice here when it's like someone's been murdered here. But this is also very familiar where I'm like, this is a blatantly, blatantly to go going like, Hey, women, we own your body, we own it. You know, there's nothing you can do like it? It's touching my leg and such in your face. I just don't know it is so rude of America. They're not even trying to, like, hide it and even try to be like, hey, uh, Chick-Fil-A is closed on Sundays. It's like, No, give them eggs. They're mine. Give me your everything. Ever give me your eggs. Because it's your. Body is mine. You can't do anything about on the day that that day, you know, that all this stuff came out about about the hearing. And I don't know if that was political or not, but, you know, to overshadow what was going on with the hearing. It is. It's also. Do you hear about the gun ban, you know, like near. Yeah. They took away they took that. Yes. Real sketchy. They got everything else going on. I mean, whatever happened. Yeah, I just I don't try to get too much into it. I just loosened up like gun control laws and, like, that's gonna be, like. Something that they basically ruled, I think that it was not unconstitutional to have to ban concealed carry, I think was the outcome. Yeah. Something like so like New York had a ban on concealed carry, right? New York blue. Right. Who was voting for that? Well, it was a it went to the same court. Okay. And so they were like, yeah. New York. From what I can remember in New York City, you weren't allowed to have a weapon all together unless you were a police officer. Well, or, you know, a. When we're all busy, worry about everything. I mean, which is due to the way we should be, worry about a bunch of stuff, but, you know, things are still moving and groovin. And we have shootings here and young people, children, adults getting killed every day in Philadelphia. I mean, just about every day there's other people getting and I don't think they even report all of them. Yeah. And we have a fellow that's a doorman in our building and he was shot and it was never reported. Mm. Um, they, they released the news about overturning Roe v Wade on the same day as the hearings that we said. I think it was in between, but it was I know they had moved. I know they delayed it. At a certain point. It was like they delayed they delayed their release of the ruling and they belated and delayed it. And at one point, one of the hearings even got rescheduled because they thought SCOTUS might drop their ruling, their announcement of Roe, but then they delayed it even further. And I think it was and ended up being in between hearings. Yeah, it's, it's, it's basically now up to the states. Every time that they have a change of administration, they can change the law completely. It's going to get crazy completely. Every time a new you know, a new Senate comes in or whatever in that particular state or a new governor, they can change the law. And there's there's 50 states, there's only 14 where there's actual protections and laws in place at the state level per and for abortion rights, pretty much. And like if you're living in just, you know, by now or whatever of your own in the South of Texas or you're in South Florida or whatever, and you can't get like you're fucked, you're just completely fucked. It's not like someone can just pick up and leave everything in and go get an abortion somewhere else. And even if they do, like in some states like you, can you get prosecuted the same even if for like an ectopic pregnancy they're saying, right. Even if you can't control it, you know, you're more than entitled to it if you just choose not to. But now, like even if it's, you know, steadily killing you. Yeah, I don't know what to tell you, Seth. Yeah. Sorry. Fiona wanted to come on. She's sleeping right now, but she was saying, and I think she'd probably be cool with me saying this, but, like, she has stuff where it's like a pregnancy is really high risk of, like, being very serious for her health and like, yeah, if you can't get a quick abortion or whatever, like, it's very dangerous, you know, and don't fucking I don't think they know. I don't think they care at all. So they don't because you know what, if they cared, if that wasn't if if if the life if life was a big issue, you know what else would be? You know what else will be on the table? Mandatory vasectomies, immediate condom access, because, you know, people are asking now, okay, so if, you know, my fetus is, you know, a person, when can I get their Social Security benefits? When can I start putting them on my tax returns? When can I file for child support? You know, can I start getting that now then? Because, you know, can I get some extra money for that then? Can I get some can I get some extra, you know, single mother benefits or something for that? Now, while we're here, while we're waiting, you know, we didn't get any of that actually. We didn't even get better health care because we still have a we still have an atrocious that I always forget what it's called but I can't remember that there's a name for it. But like mothers in America die giving childbirth at a next at a at a horrible rate compared to other developed countries comparable countries. And we don't seem to know why other than our health care system is pissed. But yeah, we're at higher risk of dying, especially when you're black or brown. You leave an even higher than that risk because they don't validate our pain in our discomfort in the same way that they do white women. It's embarrassing. We didn't get any of that. We just well, you know, bun in the oven, keep it in there till it burns, you know? What do you feel sorry for the men? Because women are going to be less likely to let them have sex. You know what happens when you kind of. Think I'm kind of joke? You know what happens when you say, I don't think I want to have sex with you, you get raped and then you still have to carry the baby grand. But by then you still have to keep it. Well, I didn't think of it that way. That's a very real problem that people are dealing with. Then we got those. Um. Yeah. I'm pronouncing her stage name, but did her documentary come out? Yeah. No, it's in a couple of weeks. Yeah. I'm really curious on like how everything with Roe v Wade is affecting like the release of the film. So I feel like that would make her like even more timely and blow up even more like it will literally about you. Yeah. Etc.. Sierra Have you been interested in getting involved in any of the was when they all get together you know, to protest this decision by the Supreme Court. You know. No surprisingly I haven't seen anything pop up in. Like we had something in Philadelphia. I'm actually. City. Hall. Christ, I guess. I'm sure I just wasn't looking hard enough, but I didn't really. I would. I expected to see a lot more. I expected to see a lot more like I got I even got invited to, I think, a women's march in March. This year, last year, I can't remember, but I didn't hear anything about this. So maybe I wasn't looking too hard. Maybe we're planning something later. I don't know. I haven't really heard anything in my area. I'm surprised because I thought women were livid. We are. And that's why I was surprised. I was like, Where are we going? Where are we meeting? Hit me up. I mean, what are we do? What's the plan where we go? And I didn't see a damn thing that may just be on me. You know? You know what, though? No. I'd argue that actually really hard on this, that you are involved with the movement. This is a new chapter. It's a new time, Grandpa, where your social your voice on social media and how you how you act, find information and spread the information. I mean, she's on a podcast right now that she's talking about it. I think that's pretty involved herself. Yeah. No, I don't. I mean. We hear we out here, but yeah. Yeah, I think I'm honestly I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. But I wouldn't I wouldn't be surprised. In a couple of years, maybe you have more power instead of doing a march. It may be just better. Just like, you know, a march online or have a blackout, those types of ways or. Yeah, stuff like that. I was just talking to a lot of followers. Probably did something. Yeah, I was just talking to a friend about protesting too this weekend and we were kind of talking about how like, we don't really know. We're like, we're just kind of curious about like how helpful it to just go out and march, you know, is it like how helpful is it to go to like, like a plaza where, you know, you've been blocked off and like given a space to protest where it's not really going to get we're not really going to bother anybody and you're just going to, you know, feel heard. You know, versus actually doing something perhaps perhaps nonviolent but still disruptive where you're interrupting someone, you're fucking up someone else's day. Like this is fucked up my day. Like, why can't I fuck up your day to, you know, more disruptive protest that we don't we I don't think we never really do that where I live but you know, I'm like, how can I how can I make this as miserable for you as you've made this for me? And I got to say, my good people, I think on take talk some of these. It's somebody somebody. Stole Clarence Thomas's credit card number apparently to just see that. I was literally just about to say the Supreme Court doxing that that takes hackers and stuff. Yeah like that's true because they're enforcing laws or it's like no like any information you can find online is free and we can take, you know. They say we don't have a right to privacy girl. We don't have those. Remember, that's what you said your words. Exactly. Yeah. Yeah, I was. I don't know if men can really know what a woman feels by having this freedom taken away from them. You can try and really would understand, fully understand that. And also, do any of you know what the laws are and other like I guess more modern countries like England or Australia or Canada or anywhere else, what, what the national laws are in those countries. I heard that Canada is opening borders to anybody that wants for abortion in the US, but I could be completely miss sourcing or miss hearing. But I see a nice PDF here from 2020. This says Google says 95% of European women can allow allow abortion live in countries that allow abortion. Okay, so only six countries in Europe don't allow abortion for request or broad social grounds. What is broad social grounds? I don't know. Can we define broad social grounds? Nope. Upon request. Okay. Upon request means that doctors or other professionals are not required to attest to certify the existence of a particular reason or justification. You can just say that's what I want. And they do that. I have yet to find a single medical request or procedure here that I can just say I'd like that and not have any more stupid questions. Abortion on request is legal in all of these places. Another reason to go to Spain telling you guys not going to see me in a couple of years, my name is going to be killer and I am going to be somewhere in Valencia. All right. Finland and UK allow abortion on broad social grounds. In all those countries where abortion where abortion is available for request or social grounds, anyone can in those countries if it's as a result of sexual assault. So basically any of this blue or turquoise here is free game. Um, we are here. Europe as a whole. What is, what is the dark blue? And it's very. This is very surprising to me. The guy that's running for governor in Pennsylvania, the Republican, says that he would not allow abortion even for, let's say, a child that's been raped. Mm. I mean, this is nuts. They think that's God's gift. Yeah, but yeah, no separation of church and state. It's like. They said. You're welcome. Um, on request in your time limits, they have time limits 18 to 24, usually around 18 to 24 weeks I guess is fine. Regression in backlash. I'm sorry, all these. Where is there but I'll attack it. Yeah. I don't know if there is, uh, let me go back. Highly restrictive. Only six European countries retain highly restrictive and do not permit upon request are broad social grounds. Andorra Legion Stein, Malta. Monaco, Poland. That make sense. Oh, okay. So they're very small here. And then Poland, I assume Monaco and Poland allow it only when a woman's life or health is at risk, or if it's the result of a sexual assault, or if there's a fetal anomaly, a fetal anomaly. The Faroe Islands is restrictive. Well, anywhere that's not allowed. They a waiting period. They're mandatory counseling in 12 countries. That's bullshit. That's another thing that a lot of people don't talk about is a lot of places in the U.S., even if you are able to get one, there's a lot of different facilities and places where if it's policy, I think in some places it's the law. In some places it might just be policy or just like one shitty nurse that you may encounter that will try to take guilt you into like they will try to guilt you into not going in with the abortion for whatever reason or trying to make you feel bad. The clinic, the people with signs are protesting and screaming at you like shame screamers. The people who clearly don't have enough to do, who need a second, third job. They do that or. They'll make. Abortions aren't even happening. It's just like a contraceptive, you know, like it's. Right because they don't know any better. And and they want to get rid of contraception, which is. Yes, they want to get rid of. That's the other case I was thinking of. It's like, yeah. Is there any studies done on the correlation of, the way people vote relative to the educational level of the states? Yes, the lower educated typically vote red. The or the undereducated perhaps is the kinder way to put it. Typically vote red. And that's the other thing, Brandon, that was the other thing that really made me upset about all of this was that because a lot of places do have the education of a Campbell's Soup can, you know, they don't know the difference between a contraceptive or an abortion or a just any medication that primarily females, you know, take. So, you know, while they're screaming at you or denying you like abortion or whatever you want, you know, they're going to act. You know, they can't tell the difference between like a contraceptives that's good for your uterine health or your hormonal health versus, you know, versus an abortion. Like some people literally think that, like, you know, birth control pills are abortion pills are still people that think that there's people that think that, you know, if you get an IUD inserted or an implant in your arm, like there's some little osmosis Jones that gets implanted in there and then it travels through the bloodstream and, you know, stabs the baby inside you, you know, try to be kind because there's a lot of people that are just genuinely uneducated, but it's just stupid. Yeah, I see. I understand. Yeah. So, you know, you go, Grandpa, please. Well, I understand also that even then states where abortion is legal, that oftentimes the physician or whoever would do the abortion will require the permission of the of the of the man. Yes. Not the woman. Your husband or your father or they make you get an ultrasound or they'll force you to look at an ultrasound before they do it so that you can, you know, see the little watermelon in there, whatever, you know, they want to call it. Here are the band countries. By the way, Brandon, it's Endora Malta. So there aren't San Marino? No, I was literally like three that are just outright banned. All the other ones have conditions or waiting periods or specific instances where it's always going to be acceptable because otherwise you would be a fucking baboon of a person to not allow it. Everywhere else has sense. And it's Europe. So, I mean, you can just, you know, take a quick jog. Hello or. A muted and now you know. Hi hello welcome welcome to hell. Yeah. Brandon brought me over to. Seems like you probably have. Oh, hi, Fiona. Yeah, yeah. We're looking at all the places in Europe that abortion isn't banned. There's literally only three countries which banned. It's pretty crazy. I was looking. I'm, like, very deeply ingrained in everything that's going on because unfortunately, it's something that I've been, like, furious since about 2018 or 2019 because I've lived in Georgia. Oh, wow. Yeah. And I'm someone who I use birth control to treat a very severe medical condition. So it's something that I have I have very severe PCOS. So it's so long. I've been on birth control since I was, I think 16 and I'm 24 now. Yeah. And it's like this, everything that's going on with it. Georgia is a state. It doesn't have a trigger law in place, but there was a law introduced that effectively bans all abortions at six weeks. Yeah, it's the heartbeat bill, which wasn't a trigger law, but it's looking like it's going to go into effect in probably the next few weeks or so. It's really crazy. And I have friends who down here, I have a friend who's pregnant right now, like not seeking an abortion or anything like that. She is like truly happy the pregnancy. She's been looking forward to it. And she was screamed at outside of her ob ju y an appointment two days ago. I think she's like 26 weeks old, so she shows. You can tell she's pregnant. Yeah. And a man was screaming at her outside the clinic about like, how she shouldn't dare abort that baby and, like, screaming and accosting her outside, like, for her doctor's office about it. And and we should be able to bear mace. These people. It's it's so crazy. This man, she didn't get a picture of him or anything I wish she would have because she still can go to the police about that sort of situation I suppose. Yeah, but she didn't because she was so scared. I mean, she was alone, her husband wasn't there and she has another baby at home. She's she was so terrified. She posted about on Facebook warning people who had appointments coming up to bring their partner with them if they can just, for extra protection. Because that's that's what's going on already in the state of Georgia, where the trigger laws weren't in place. But they are making those laws come into effect very soon. So embarrassing. Yeah, it's pretty it's pretty scary for sure. It's terrible. It's been I just remember when I lived in Atlanta, an abortion clinic was blown up right when I was there, right next to it. Like I happen to be in a in an Office Depot. And the abortion clinic was 50 yards away and they they blew it up. And then the police started going in and blew up again. And That was I. I just remembered. That's probably 20. Years of people die. I don't know. Oh, my gosh. I don't know. It wasn't something that was big in my mind the time I was. So scared. Doing business with Office Depot. And that's the other thing that's so scary is like, you know, you just like your story. Fiona They just to their regular ask doctor, you know, these people are so uneducated, they don't know the difference between a regular women's health professional, someone who and someone who actually performs the thing that they're angry about. And, you know, they'll just they just they don't know what they're doing. They just they just hear shit. And then they go out there and then they go commit crime. I Yeah, it's true, though. It's, that's what people are doing and it's so upsetting. It makes me really angry. And a lot of these people don't understand reproductive health in any regards, so they truly don't know what's going on. Like in cases of sepsis, where the, the, the zygote or fetus has passed away, isn't living within the the uterus bearer's body. Yeah. And it's going into sepsis and person is going to die if they don't get that removed and they're banning mass. And they're also in cases of ectopic pregnancies where if like there is no viable way for an ectopic pregnancy which takes place in the fallopian tubes so it doesn't even implant in the uterus, there's no viable way for one of those pregnancies to have an outcome where either of them lives. If it goes to term, it is very rare that a woman with an ectopic pregnancy or someone with a uterus with an ectopic pregnancy survives that because typically it ruptures their fallopian tubes and they have internal hemorrhaging and bleeding that is not able to be stopped because that particular organ has such a readily available supply of blood and they don't understand that. They don't care. That's not their problem. Nope. I've done way too much research about this. I remember when I was in college, I did like a whole report on sex ed because I went to a Catholic high school. So when I got to college, I was like, You know what? I was like? Because I remember being in high school when I was in high school, I've told a story before, but I had I had a health class and I was excited for health class cause I was like, Ooh, I'm finally going to get some sex ed. Like, I could really use some of that. Like, I could, I could just use it. I really like to learn, like, you know, how to protect myself, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. And so we had like a unit on, like alcohol, we had a unit on like tobacco and then like there was clearly a space and like the curriculum for like health sex ed, like we were moving in that direction, talking about like the effects of different things on the body. And then we had this random fucking unit on the dangers of gambling instead. It wasn't about like, you know, anything relevant, like online gambling or like mobile game gambling where, you know, loot boxes and all that and how easy it is to like add a card to your phone account and just keep buying things. No, it was like keep the teenagers out of the casino boats. Like. New 12 year olds. You better not sit at a poker table. It'll be bad for you. We're going to talk about it for four weeks anyway. Stay off the slot machines. Stay off the craps tables. Okay. Blackjack. More like bad Jack. Not this kid. I don't think so. We didn't get any of that. And I was like, there was clearly like it was like a cut out, just, like, made for effects and they just, like, forced gambling back in there and stuff. And I was like, What the fuck? And so, but I did this report and it was like I was learning about how like so many different places, so many different states because they made it a state thing instead of a federal thing. More things. Joseph could be doing better. No one had not has to teach sex ed on a federal level. It's a state issue and only a few states, very few states have actual comprehensive sex ed, which includes like men's health, women's health, sexual health, all those kinds of things, contraceptives, all that comprehensive and then there's a few states that don't allow it. Specifically, how is the garage still going up and down? This is like the 14th time. All right. They have some states just ban it flat out. You cannot talk about it in school. You cannot teach it. Illinois doesn't mandate sex ed, but they do mandate HIV. That's the other thing. A lot of states mandate HIV education. So when I was in high school, I got a little auditorium. Talk about how please don't get HIV. It's really embarrassing. You're not going to like it. You may die and I were legally obligated to tell you that, you know, condoms are supposed to help prevent it, but condoms don't work. They don't really work. They're not very helpful. Don't do it. Just don't do anything. Don't touch each other. Now go to lunch. And that was my HIV education, preventative education. So we're that too is. Yes, because I, I went through sex education in the South, which was even less than that. Truly. They didn't tell you about any STDs. They didn't tell you about HIV. They did not tell you about condoms or birth control or or like any preventative measures except for abstinence. And I did go to a Catholic school. I went to public school. Well, we didn't they didn't tell us about any other STDs, just strictly the one that they were legally obligated to, which was. HIV like we did at the bare minimum that we're legally required to do. It was completely out of the blue. They're like, I'm not going to give you any more feedback on anything else relevant to the discussion. Like we're not taking questions afterwards, like, you're dismissed, go away. That's it. So there's no rules. There's no rules. There's no there's no plan in place to to educate people about, you know, these things going forward. You know, there's no conversation about consent. And it wasn't even really recently until a few very liberal places were even including anything in their sex ed programs about same sex, sex, health or LGBTQ health and how to go about that in a safe way. We didn't they you know, I I remember reading about that a few years ago and I was like, wow, that's like actually a really good idea. You know, they should be doing that. And yeah, there's no plan in place to give anybody this information that they so desperately need. And it's also really dangerous because it puts it puts children like young adults at risk of getting into abusive relationships and things that they don't understand. Because you don't if you don't understand your body and you don't understand your uterus how can you protect yourself against like coercive rape or spousal rape? Marital rape? Did you see this documentary? What is it? Is it. The. Oh, yeah, it's keep me praying, obey or something like that. Fundamentalist Church of Latter Day Saints document. Oh, no. And like literally with the marital rape, it it seems like it was filmed in like the sixties, like the 1940s or sixties. But this, the whole thing is 2003 or four and the the spoiler alert, I guess. But this, this church and this practice, even though they got the main guy, is still thousands of child marriages and thousands of people that are a part of this church. And like what you know. And yeah, it's Utah or whatever, you. Know, they're in Arizona, but they started in. Utah. Um, the, the leader of it has been in jail. I don't remember exactly when he was arrested, but he's still, even though he has been arrested and convicted of like, um, rape, soliciting a child rape, forcing underage marriages, like all of these things, he still is running the church from inside jail. It's it's just like one of. The best examples I've seen of how, like, organized religion was just a way for, like, these horny old dudes to, like, be like, Oh, I want to fuck these young girls. Yes, I'm prophet. And you have to wear this color in this color because it's holy for God and it's like he, he likes girls in that color, you know, wearing blue or whatever. Mm. Just perverts. Yeah. Yeah. And, and they had no sex education and a lot of these women would, they would get married, they would be forced into these marriages. They didn't even get to choose who they married, the prophet selected for them, who they were going to be with. And none of them were educated about sex or reproductive health or or any forms of contraception. Oh, yeah. That that's that's what made me think of it, is because he was like, you know, this is 2004 or whatever. I can't imagine the federal laws have changed for education, but he's like, I don't really want to teach any thing. Like I just know how to be a good. Yeah, and you just taught people how to be good house. And they just took all the books away one by one. And it's like Arizona. It is. And it's scary, too. Like, that documentary came out like maybe a month ago, maybe a month and a half. It's a recent amen. And with what's going on now, with like our federal government doing whatever it's doing, the likelihood of that kind of situation is increasing in so many places because they're giving those extremist outlets a voice and power where they should not have a voice and should not have power. Yeah, exactly. I have a question. It's kind of a little bit outside of what you're talking about, but based on the recent Supreme Court decision, how do you think that would will affect the voting in terms of Republican or Democratic voting in in the near future or know within the next few years? A lot of younger people are already campaigning specifically against the Republican agenda and are really pushing for everyone to vote for Democrats. But That doesn't necessarily mean that that's what is going to occur, especially since I can't remember exactly what happened. But there was a judgment. I think it was either the Supreme Court or a high court in one of the states that is already dividing up voting power and voting section. So it takes away a lot of power from posse communities, which are stereotypically or traditionally the ones who have been voting more democratically is very, very smart. Wouldn't you think that on on balance, the majority of women would be turned off by the decision by the Supreme Court and would vote go more Democratic or basically you're you're not really saying that. That's a good tweet. I like to think back on in times like these Grandpa Bart and I know it by heart. It's it goes I do not support all women. Some of you bitches are very dumb. And that's kind of. How this. Feels a lot because, you know, logically you'd be like, wow, I would like to have control over my own body and not be at risk of losing any other, right? So at the very minimum, you know, I'm going to vote for the people that don't want to do that to me. But, you know, a lot of this a of this dumbness is coming from, you know, too many women, too many women in America that aren't seeing the bigger picture or are so deluded that. They think that, you know, somehow it's in God's plan for you to, you know, have like a child of rape or a child of incest or whatever, you know, some people too many people think that that's like somehow okay. Or they think they generally do. They really do think that, you know, adoption is still a good option. Like, yeah, you should still be able to, like, carry this baby for like nine more months and, you know, turn your whole life upside down and have a bunch of health issues, you know, for nine months and maybe survive the birthing process and then give the baby it for adoption. You know, they think that those things are practical. So there's that there's that side of it. Wow. The phone is on silent. That's wacky. Younger brother made a point about this, too, because he's just as angry as I am. I mean, he's watched me deal with, like, reproductive health issues since I was 13 or 14. I have very, very severe PCOS. So on my periods, what would happen and it still happens occasionally is I have large cysts in my ovaries that will rupture and I have like in order for my body to get that out. My body goes through basically a series of miscarriages for a non baby and he watched me go through all that and he went, I'm going to make a list. So he went through and he made a list of all of the different health conditions that someone with a uterus can have that are treated by birth control. And then he also went through and he made a list of all of the weird and very destructive side effects of being pregnant can be like falling out, uh, losing bone density, you know, not being able to hold in pee anymore. A joint replacement that you need down the line. Severe vitamin deficiencies that your body can never catch up from because a baby essentially will take all of the essential nutrition from your body that it needs, even if you don't have enough of it in the first place. So he made this whole list. He also talked about like the terrors that can happen during the terrors, the terrors, the husbands death. He talked about that that would make them really mad because it's it's crazy. But he made this list and he's been sharing it with his friends who didn't ever educate themselves because he grew up his entire life pretty much except for like one or two years has been in the South. So a lot of his friends didn't care to research it because they didn't get that education in school. So we sent out this list to everyone and they have been like, Oh my God, what? I thought they just like got sat for a while was like, no, that's not how any of this works. Yeah. And you can't have caffeine. You're not supposed to have caffeine. People are going to shut down your throat if you're drinking coffee or sipping some tea while you're pregnant. You cannot take like a you cannot take. Most your medications, if not all. If you have like some prescriptions or anything, you can't take those because it'll hurt the fetus once the baby's born. You can't take any of your medication like until it stops breastfeeding. You can't do any of that shit. It's like so crazy. The, the commitment that has to be made in order to, like, in good faith go through the process of a pregnancy and having a child, which a lot of people aren't educated on. And I had a lot of people in my high school who ended up pregnant because there was no education surrounding that. And they have like I've watched people that were younger than me go through pregnancies and like have their teeth fall out. I've watched them end up in abusive relationships because of it. It's it's like the South, if you like zoom in on it shows where it was already passed, where everywhere else was. And now with these laws, we're just going to watch it snowball. Yeah. They don't want access to and yet they don't want access to health care that's easily accessible and they don't want maternity leave, paternity leave, you know, etc., etc.. It's like they're taking away access for for some life saving treatments for individuals as well, like birth control for me is a life saving treatment. I hemorrhage every month. Yeah. And and they're taking away the access to that, even though without it, I will likely end up in the hospital every single month dealing with reproductive health issues. It's it's crazy. I don't know if you guys have talked about like the other things that the Supreme Court has been doing right now, but they truly see people with uteruses as less valuable and less important. Important than guns. Yeah, they they guns have more rights than I do in the state of Georgia. I think a giraffe has more protections than I do. They have a. Lot of protections in. Georgia. So like, it's they truly have decided in their mind that human life is less important objects and they use the same arguments against themselves constantly in regards to this as well. Like they said, there was a law about gun rights in New York and then they were like, this should be up to the federal government to decide because this is an important issue and then a few days later, Roe v Wade is overturned. They're like, they will leave it to the states because it's not that important. It's not that big of a deal. Guys, relax. It's like they flip flop and are very hypocritical. But the UN's been talking about getting involved. So isn't that the ghetto? Like kick us out, kick us out. Y'all want to kick, I think like Finland or somebody was just like, you know who you need to kick out Russia. Kick us out. Um, if you're out there, kick us out, we're literally or do what you do with every, like, crazy ghetto ass country. Put us on the civil rights or what is it? The Human Rights Committee you put up with Saudi Arabia and Russia put us on there. That's apparently where we're weirdos go. We qualify for it now. But it's on the. Human Rights Committee. There we go. We qualify for it. If you look at their. Burrito. Goes out, bro. They like severe. Violations, human rights, including forced pregnancies or forced abortions. That's one of them, too. But that's something else that the U.S. did historically. They forced abortions for people who had diagnosed mental illness or had a chromosomal disorder. They would force abortions in forced sterilizations. So what's to say with them doing this as well? They can't go down that path again to they will. I'm sure. It's crazy. Amanda was telling me that the UN has out and said that it's abuse to prevent abortion. Yeah, the UN has just come out with it. Really is. Punish us. And actually hey. It's great to see all you guys. Oh yeah, I said eight and that's. Fiona and. Brandon and Ciara. I made it go a little bit longer than Fiona. Let it up over here. Yeah, I'm fine. As I'm hitting the road. Okay. Thanks for pharmacy. All. Do your final thought, Grandpa. My final thought is. Oh, there you go. Watch out. I think women are going to get their way eventually. They're going to, you know, over overturn this situation. I think so. I think that that it's going to possibly help the Democrats in next election, hopefully. But not everybody be back. Have you back, Grandpa? Just have a good night, Grandpa. To. Buy Rosie. A buy girl. I buy things like rights for women. Rosie said, burn this bitch down. Oh my gosh. Phines, what's your final thought? Hmm. Final thoughts. Are the. Same old thing. The patriarchy and the capitalism have. Done it again and again and. Again. They're letting, letting, letting you know this flexing, bro, this b flex. And it's like, let you know that I don't value women or in any way I care about maybe their bodies as something that can maybe make me something to make me more money. And even then they really are haphazardly about how much they care. It's just like so much entitlement and so much. Again, I'm going to say, I mean, in a very grand scheme of things, is the patriarch of America and capitalism kind of kind of makes it kind of made this little suit that we're in and is really and I'm speaking from a very privileged spot, being a man in a situation, but it also very much affects of the society that I'm in and especially the neighborhoods that you live in. And it affects the whole system that we're in. People should notice and be recognizing that if you in our hearts into your fact that we're all human and that should be a that we care about, you know, I shouldn't have to be like it's your mom or your sister. And, you know, I could just be like, it's not addressed. I was joking. Dresser and giraffes have it easy. But I think between a drafting and a woman I probably I think what's likely but but yeah that's it that's it. I'mma leave Bye Phines. By my final about 11. I know. We're here but. That's the deal you say if thought you log off. Fiona you get to do your first final. Oh. We do it every show pretty much. I don't know how it started, but I'm. Well, everything that's happening right now is absolutely terrifying. And I say that as someone who's terrified myself, we need to broaden our perspective and broaden our scope in order to make the changes that need to happen. And we need to be even more careful than ever, because in the states where abortions are now being criminalized and miscarriages are being investigated, a criminal act as well. And we need to be even more careful because if those convictions stick, which they're going to, each one of those women that that happens to is not going to have the option to vote anymore. They're taking away even more power than what they want us to realize. So we have to fight. We got to stop it before it goes too far. Because if that happens and women's right to voting is taken away because of a false criminalization and based on something that they have no control over, where we're going down a sticky, sticky slope. That's my last thought. Beautiful, beautiful. Sierra, you want to go with me? I'll go see. I knew this was going to happen. I knew when the beautiful Justice Brown was voted on to the Supreme Court. I knew she was I knew they were going to embarrass her. And this is what they did. As soon as she got on, immediately they embarrassed her. If there's anybody out there who thinks that this was a good idea, overturning Roe was a good idea in some way, go read a book and oh, I had something good for them. Oh, Joseph, Joseph, this is embarrassing if you're out there, Joe and Kamala, this is mad. Embarrassing. Okay, whoever the hell leaked this shit, like, months ago with giving you a heads up that this is the direction they're going, it wasn't like, you know, a threat so that they were going to change their mind. It's like six of them on there. They weren't going to change their mind. This is what they're doing. They like it. They wanted this to happen. They were always going to do this. You have ample time to prepare and all you had to tell us was. Well, get ready to vote in midterm. I'm not going to keep voting for you. I'm dead ass. I'm not going to keep voting for y'all. I'm just going to vote on my local shit. Not going to keep voting for you people if you're going to do anything valuable. This Is this is war time. I'm we're in wartime dead ass. We needed a wartime president. We needed a wartime administration. We had some old man who falls off his bike. That's all we got to do. Better be best. Joseph, you're scaring Fiona. Be best. Easy. But he went to my same college. I'm disappointed. More disgusting. You're disgusting, Joseph. You are? Yes. I still have loan. I still have student loans. Weed is still illegal. There's still people in prison for weed. And now this. You're embarrassing all the time. Do better have a plan can tell me to vote already voted going to ask me for some money I paid you I'm paying my taxes now do better. Oh Oh, have you seen the. It's not to interrupt your thought the the petitions that people are signing where they make you give a donation to the Democratic Party in order to officially sign your name. Yeah That's why I don't donate to a lot of things because I'm blown out my fucking mike. That's why I don't don't donate to a lot of things because they want all your information and they want and they usually try to like put you on a list or have you donate some money. Okay, you're going to tell me to donate some money. You're going to tell me that? Oh, if I want to if I want things to change, I need to give you some money so that you can run for your fucking reelection. I gave you money. I already voted for you. Hell, what are you doing? What was that part for? What have I gotten out of this? What have I gotten out of this? The gas is $5. I spent $50 yesterday on gasoline. Ice cream cost $6 to. Go with that. We had that conversation last night. Disgusting. Two liters are 229. Never in my 25 years of life and I paid $2 for a fucking two liter, dammit. Joseph And you want 15 more dollars? Kamala Goopy. I'm done. Ice cream. I'm down. It's disgusting. I'm keep doing those that I'm really done I've. Got information about leaving the country if you want it. It's Brandon. Send me Fiona's number. Oh, yeah. I'm sorry. I think my family thinks I'm joking. I will leave and I won't come back. Oh, my brother tried already. He really did. He's out of the country right now, but he, like, did all the research on it. So I have all the research on it. I need all. Of that right now. Final thought. Brandon, my friend. Hi, guys. No...Thanks for listening guys! Like, and subscribe. No, my final thought is, I really want to reiterate this documentary that I watched about the Fundamentalist Church of Latter Day Saints or whatever, because a lot of the arguments that I'm hearing as well, it is against God and I will go to hell for eternity if I kill a six week feat. And it's like it just shows how ridiculous. I think like all of these sort of oppressive religious beliefs and dogma is, because as that documentary shows, it's just like these horny old men that want to fuck these young girls and then all seems very similar how to how to look, how to dress, how to act, lack of schooling, all that stuff, you know, Christianity, Judaism and like everything. So Yeah, it's real fucked. I'll put the I'll put the link to the documentary and the description forever. And like and subscribe. You hit that bell guys if you want to see Sierra comes out the president some more or if you want to hear if you want to hear us bitch about, you know, basic health care needs. No, but it's it's good. I missed you guys. You're very high. The three of you are very good podcasters. I really appreciate you. And that's our show. I love you, Grandpa. You're not here. Goodbye I love you too, Brandon.*bird squawk*
