One, two, three, four. Hey guys, and welcome back to this episode of the Weekend Rundown. This is your host, drew, and this is your host, Daniel.
Speaker 2:Welcome back again. I think we should just go ahead and hop right into our weekends. How was your weekend, Drew?
Speaker 1:Yes, we normally do that right away and I would like to do that. But before let's address something We've been a little inconsistent with the releases of our episodes lately. Not on, we had the one week off because of the hurricane and then this last week I think we were day late and this week we're like two days late. We just have a lot going on, guys. I'm not trying to be weird or make excuses. We love doing this. We do it for us and for you guys, but we got a lot, lot going on.
Speaker 2:I got three kids. He's got three jobs. We're constantly trying to provide for ourselves and this honestly doesn't make us money right now.
Speaker 1:No, no, we don't expect it to make us money. We love it, but it's just like we just would love it if you guys could understand. We're going to continue to be consistent in the best way we can at least releasing as consistent as possible.
Speaker 1:Right. Our goal is to release the episode a week. We're always going to be evolving the episode, how it works. Today we're going to do a little bit of a different format, but we'll get into that later. We guarantee you guys, when we're healthy and good to go in episode a week, and we just can't guarantee the day at this point. We're just busy.
Speaker 2:I think that's a good enough guarantee, though. An episode a week.
Speaker 1:Yeah, we got content for you guys. We got content, anyways. So you want to get back to it, you?
Speaker 2:were telling me a story. Well, you were telling me, before we got onto the microphone, something about something that happened at work, and you told me part of it. And now I'm ready to hear the other part. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, it's kind of why I was jumping right back into that.
Speaker 1:Oh, I got you, that makes sense. Yeah, no, so it was like a thing where we both bartended at her. You did it for what?
Speaker 2:12, 13 years, 14 years, don't cut me short, 14.
Speaker 1:Well, I just don't know, because I wasn't there before.
Speaker 2:It's like jail time. You know what I'm saying. It's like oh no, I did this many.
Speaker 1:It's jail time and it sounds different, but I did six and a half years of it, or almost seven, so it's pretty much the same in my head, but maybe not.
Speaker 2:It's the same.
Speaker 1:At least I had to get a drink. That's a batched drink, but the guy doesn't like coconut, so I ordered it without coconut.
Speaker 2:So I had to make one by hand. One by hand.
Speaker 1:One by hand and I got a slight flack and I mean I understand, because I always give people shit and I'm always making jokes. One of the girl bartenders that didn't make it asked the guy making it. She's like yeah, I have a story about a time where people made me handmade, and she's just and I felt a little bad for a second. And then he goes yeah, I've got a story about a time that I made one, right now too. And then I go yeah, that's funny, guys, although I will say this right now, I've made hundreds of those by hand, so I don't feel sympathy for you.
Speaker 2:Yeah, sorry for making you bartend bartender.
Speaker 1:Yeah, exactly that's it. I get it, but we weren't busy and I was like, if you want, I'll come back there. And then he goes. He says this, he goes over and this is actually kind of fair. He goes. Oh, I don't think we have the flavors. I think, like doing, this batch is done, we're done and we're having a new bucket and I go. I have faith that you can put together some sort of flavored rums with some pineapple juice and some cranberry and it'll taste delicious.
Speaker 1:And guess what? It was better than the fucking bucket.
Speaker 2:Yeah, 100%. I used to take pride in that shit. If you wanted something that was like special, I don't want to pour a bucket, Right, I don't like that. I just want to make a drink that somebody's going to come by the bar and be like hey man, that drink was killer.
Speaker 1:I'm glad I like I don't know. In that situation I was talking to someone that I personally had done that job for long enough. I felt like you know, in Rick and Morty, when everyone's booing Rick at that heist con, he's like your booze mean nothing. I've seen what make you people cheer. That's exactly how I felt when they were like oh F this. I'm like yeah, no, don't care.
Speaker 2:I wouldn't, I would have fucking.
Speaker 1:And the funny thing was, when my table ordered it I was like, yeah, we can do that for you. I was like the bartender is going to give me a little flack about it. I was like, but then I'll just tell him how to make it and it'll be fine. And so they were kind of like making a joke about it. And I came back and I go. So what are the odds? You think he gave me flack and everyone at the table goes oh, he gave you some some shtick, didn't he?
Speaker 2:I I'll never forget the strangest request I ever had when I was a bartender. Jesse came up to the bar.
Speaker 1:Oh my God, Can I, can I? Is it the story? I think it is I bet it is. Oh God, I tell the story. I work all the time. Please tell the story.
Speaker 2:Um, actually there's a couple of stories with Jesse, so I don't know if it's the one. Um, but Jesse came up to me one day and he told me that his table was requesting a rainbow deck and that one upset me. I was already, I was already, I'd like just climbed out of the weeds. You know, I had just climbed out of the weeds and here comes Jesse with a straight ass face and he says hey, uh Rue, I got a table that's uh requesting a rainbow daiquiri. And I said what I said a rainbow daiquiri. And he said, yeah, like you know, like layered or something. And I was like I don't know, man, we don't really do that, that's not on our menu. And of course, I mean, if I really tried and wanted to put the 15 minutes into making this drink, yeah, I could make a rainbow daiquiri.
Speaker 2:But I was like yeah, I was like, dude, I'm not, I'm not thinking that, uh, that I need to make that because it's not on our menu, and just go tell him that it's not on our menu. He said, oh well, they actually said that they got it at Sam Bar and they've made it here for them before, or that they have it at Sam Bar and they've made it here for them before. And I was like, well, we'll ask him what bartender, what bartender made it for him. And then he's like you really want me to go ask him? And I just snapped. I was like that's fine, dude, Tell him I'll make him a rainbow daiquiri, but tell him it's gonna be brown. You go out there right now and you let him know it's coming out.
Speaker 1:Did he laugh? The second?
Speaker 2:you said that he started cracking up and he was like nobody's asking for a rainbow daiquiri.
Speaker 1:I was like fuck you, jesse.
Speaker 1:You know, I was right behind you watching this whole thing play out because, because, dude, before earlier in the day I think you were a nighttime and I was a double and Jesse said something like it was Dan or somebody in there were like, oh, getting your brother fired up is one of the best things around here, and I go. You know what really pisses him off. Guys, I probably shouldn't be telling you this, but when any of you motherfuckers order more than one flavored, that like two is a kind of okay, but when you start to get three, like it's all going in the same blender, y'all can get fucked and Jesse-.
Speaker 2:I only have two blenders in one machine, so if it's three, I have to blend one. Clean the blender before I can blend another one.
Speaker 1:Yeah, it's it's we don't have enough blunders for that. And Jesse just laughed. And he goes what if I ordered everyone? And I go how are you gonna do that? And he goes I'll ask him for a rainbow daiquiri. And I go you won't do it. You won't do it and the funny thing is is that, like the way we remember it is not the way you remember it. We remember you being so calm and so nice, like normally, like during that time when we were busy and stuff.
Speaker 2:I told you I did pretty good. I was like thinking myself I could make, and you normally weren't nice to servers.
Speaker 1:You tell them to like off themselves and stuff like that. You didn't really care.
Speaker 2:I didn't like it wasn't requests from customers that upset me. That usually didn't upset me, that rainbow one that was.
Speaker 1:That was pretty silly, because no one asked for that Exactly. And then when you, and then when you were like no, and he's like, well, this place and then this place.
Speaker 2:I'm 12 years deep at this job and I've never heard of a rainbow daiquiri. You're telling me someone's made rainbow daiquiri for these people. I'm not buying it, dude. Actually I kind of was, but I was getting mad.
Speaker 1:And I was like it's gonna be brown. You're like, was it my brother? Cause literally, literally, jesse's always like he said it was gonna be brown and then Jesse just starts doing that laugh where he's like I don't know.
Speaker 2:I told him that I'm not gonna. I'm not layering that shit out, but what really pissed me off is just when they wouldn't do their job complete, like if you start pulling a ticket like I did this so many times and I think I've said it here before but if you start pulling your ticket no, if you leave the ticket.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I'll put it up. But if you start pulling your ticket like say you pull, I'll make like the most expensive drink first, like a Bacardi bucket, right, and then you take that off of your ticket, then I'm gonna make your margarita and I'm gonna go start making your Bacardi bucket again. And then when you're like oh no, no, no, I already got that, and you point over here, I'm like, oh, you gotta go have a manager comp it Just cause I wanna look you in the eyes and say you have to get a manager to comp it and I'm gonna go double check with a manager and be like did he void that or comp that?
Speaker 2:And 90% of the time they're like oh, he told me to void it and I'm like no, you gotta comp it. I poured it down to sink.
Speaker 1:Owned.
Speaker 2:Yeah, it never comes off their check or anything. They never get any repercussions from it.
Speaker 1:Right, well, I mean the manager's getting trouble.
Speaker 2:Oh, manage these fuckers better.
Speaker 1:Yeah, no, there's literally not a lot of management going on there, but that, like, was just a weird part of my weekend. I had an actual awesome part of my weekend, if you'd like to hear about it. What was the awesome part? I made a drunken post. I was like feeling myself cause I was roasting people at work like two days in a row and everybody was laughing at everything I was saying. So I was like dude, fuck it.
Speaker 1:Like I went on to a Sarasota comedy connection and I was like yo, I'm thinking about trying to start up like once or twice a month comedy roast show where it's just comedians roasting each other, like back and forth. It's like. I was like I don't know the format yet, but who'd be interested in? And a couple older people like were like, oh, when I know more. Oh, roasts are fun, this is cool.
Speaker 1:And then, like a promoter from Tampa Bay messaged me and was like yo, I've been trying to get a show like this for a while. I've got my business partner who puts money into it and he's like this is my show right now I'm promoting. And it was like these like hot, like I'm just gonna say they're black chicks, just hot black chicks and like some of them are like R&B and some of them are comedy. And he's in this $30 show and shit. And I was like, bro, like, this guy's like legit shit and he's like we should link. And I was like, bro, I'm about to go to Austin to try to like do some comedy over there. I was like, but when I come back, bro, I'm down, like let's get some lunch or something. And he's like yeah, bro, let's do it. And I'm like, bro, like I'm gonna get in, like, like, like can you imagine? Like I'm the roast guy in Tampa, like bro.
Speaker 2:The roast guy in Tampa.
Speaker 1:Bro, the funny thing is Nick Cannon ran the roasts on a while and out right. He wasn't even the best roaster. And he would get roasted. I'm gonna get roasted.
Speaker 2:That's where that Matt Riff guy is from, matt Riff he did not.
Speaker 1:from that, he was a roast comedian for 10 years.
Speaker 2:I know you can go watch while in the mountain and see him before his veneers.
Speaker 1:Yeah, he busted STs. But, bro, like I'm about it, I want to do all forms of comedy and like, if I can get like this, much like knowledge from it.
Speaker 2:No man, you gotta expand, you gotta network.
Speaker 1:Yeah, bro, I also got a quote from somebody asked me for a quote to do a 30 minute show.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:On a gig. I sent them the quote back, but they haven't got back to me. They got five more days to get back. Did you give them a low quote, Hell?
Speaker 2:no, I had a low quote.
Speaker 1:I price myself at what a comedian should price himself at your first show. First of all, they don't need to know that.
Speaker 2:Second, of all. I'm not saying to go out there and tell them it, no.
Speaker 1:but if I went too low, then they wouldn't think I was seriously good.
Speaker 2:You know what I'm saying I'm not saying go too low.
Speaker 1:I went $100 for 10 minutes and then $30 from traveling all the way from Tampa to Miami. That's not over. He said he had a $500 budget.
Speaker 2:So $130 bucks. It's a 10 minute slot.
Speaker 1:It's a 30 minute slot.
Speaker 2:So $330.
Speaker 1:Yeah and he said his limit was five, so I was not pushing it.
Speaker 2:No.
Speaker 1:No, and I wasn't like oh yo, I've been on Comedy Central, $1,500.
Speaker 2:I wasn't doing nothing like that. Well, you haven't been on Comedy Central.
Speaker 1:Right, but I wasn't no you couldn't do that.
Speaker 2:If you did go on Comedy Central, maybe you could do that.
Speaker 1:Right, but I was saying I'm starting respectful comedian prices, yeah that's good, I was just trying to figure out what I was literally feeling, like I didn't really even need the numbers. I was feeling a little down, a little depressed you know what I'm saying and I was like fuck bro, I'm just like this life is hard and I know I'm new to it, but like, and then when I got this stuff rolling, when I got the message from the promoter, I was like dog okay let's go, Bro.
Speaker 2:It's gonna be hard, and I mean it's actually happened. Seems to be happening faster for you, but then I think that's only because of your dedication to networking.
Speaker 1:The networking I think is the biggest thing and that's what my, that's what my buddy doesn't understand. I mean he talks to people and stuff like that, but like he's always so drunky for gets the, he gets their numbers and stuff.
Speaker 2:Yeah, it's like I never post anything about the podcast on any of my social media. I do every single time because you always get all butthurt about that.
Speaker 1:I am a little butthurt like I'm not even gonna say this to you, I'm gonna say this to our listeners guys right now, I think there's sometimes on a good week, there's 60 of you. Sometimes on a bad week, there's eight of you. I don't know if you guys are listening to multiple ones.
Speaker 2:Anyways.
Speaker 1:It goes from eight to 60. Eight on the week where we didn't post one because Hurricane Adalia.
Speaker 2:How did we have eight? Oh, we had eight listeners to past episodes.
Speaker 1:Yeah, people were just listening. That probably found us through the things I post, and if you posted them we could add 16. No, I Go fuck yourself. I'd be happy to if you posted. Man, it's not hard, you could literally just share the real. I share.
Speaker 2:Hold on, I need a Red Bull.
Speaker 1:Oh, to get the Red Bull. I'm gonna keep talking. I'm just gonna keep it going. Yeah, Fucking Red Bulls are bad for you guys, as I drink my truly strawberry lemonade.
Speaker 2:But, you know, what Red Bull does do.
Speaker 1:Gives you wings, it does. The best part was that the microphone like, didn't like that it turned off. It didn't really. It went red and did feedback protection. I mean I heard it all but it still was like it wouldn't let it over pop.
Speaker 2:It glitched.
Speaker 1:Yeah, it was like that's the pop noise we're supposed to stop, man. So, yeah, my weekend was like stupid at work, my dumb job that I don't like to do. And then also I forgot I said that I would give a shout out to our sister, jen. Big ups to Jen. I told her I was like I don't really know how I'm gonna afford my flipping hotel or being able to eat when I go do my business trip to Austin, because I had these bills like auto pay out of my ish and overdraft me. She was like dude, as long as you promise to get me back, I got you.
Speaker 2:I was like that's huge Big ups to Jen Big ups to our sister Jen. She doesn't even fucking listen to us. Wish we had a soundboard or something.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I don't think that was the right noise. That probably sounded terrible, but the deal is that she doesn't listen, but I have to do it.
Speaker 2:Why doesn't she listen? She's our sister.
Speaker 1:Cause our episodes are too long. You know what Megan listens, so she's gonna tell Jen about it.
Speaker 2:Hi Megan.
Speaker 1:Hi Megan. Yeah, she listens All right. So yeah, enough about Drew.
Speaker 2:Let's talk about Daniel. Okay, so Daniel's weekend was non-consistent. It involved a lot of Non-consistent.
Speaker 1:What is it?
Speaker 2:Non-consistent, I guess irrelevant.
Speaker 1:Oh, irrelevant is a different word completely, completely, completely.
Speaker 2:I feel like there's something that's.
Speaker 1:Non-consistent. Sounds like you were in another dimension from parts of it.
Speaker 2:No, I feel like. I feel like there was a different word I was looking for, but it was pretty written. It was a pretty irrelevant weekend.
Speaker 1:Just like a regular ass weekend watching football. That sounds pretty awesome working.
Speaker 2:Sounds not awesome but not fun working right. So instead I'm gonna tell you about how awful my work week was.
Speaker 1:I did a little bit of your job with you for a while um.
Speaker 2:Well, right now. I'm working on a. It's a five-story condo building and all the halls are outside like exposed and I don't know if you know what pebble dash is. A pebble dash is like Like some hope, some old condos usually, if you go to like your grandmother's time share, like in a building with older that older people tend to stay at yeah. A lot of times the floor or the entrance to a building will be made with pebble dash, which is just like little pebble stones.
Speaker 1:I don't know stuck together. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, it's a fucking mess. Yeah, so you had to bet, you had to get that out.
Speaker 2:I don't even know how they lay it. That's another thing that I need to look up and figure out, because it's been for about four days. I've been just thinking to myself like how do they even put this down?
Speaker 1:It's probably in like a pre like. My guess like Is that it's a pre-made sheet. You know, I'm saying and they just glue it to the floor.
Speaker 2:I Don't think it could. It's heavy, it's very heavy and it's brittle, like peanut brittle.
Speaker 1:Well, maybe, maybe carry. That would you know, you know, I know you know like this.
Speaker 2:I think it's. Maybe it's like a spray.
Speaker 1:They just spray it on the ground and then put the.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I like maybe like a like how they spray foam into attics and stuff, maybe like they like lay the pebbles down and spray.
Speaker 1:So there's just no, there's no good way to get rid of it.
Speaker 2:No, so the pebbles come apart and it's just like some of them stay Together. There's some like big chunks, but then there's a lot of pebbles that shoot off and the problem is all these exposed hallways beneath them are like Flower beds, then like mulch and trees and stuff, so we got just pebbles flying everywhere. We're trying to finish a floor a day in the Sun and no, that's always nice Florida Sun.
Speaker 2:There's like six. There's like six units per level, so it's probably a Thousand square feet per floor of this stuff. Jeez, and it's all outside. Like I said in, the worst part is all the pebbles are going all the way into the mulch and on the last day we're gonna have to go down and pick that shit up.
Speaker 1:I Don't want to do that. No, dude, it's gonna be rough I don't should be.
Speaker 2:We put tarps down to like help it, but it's, it's not?
Speaker 1:is it bad of me to say, like perfect. Hey yo boss, I'm not trying to be a little bitch, but on days like today where we have to do things like this, it's 1.25 pay. Yeah, no, he pays me very well so so then it's like I have easier days, where even exactly.
Speaker 2:Yeah, there's some days where it's like, really is paying me this much to do this?
Speaker 1:You're like, yeah, no, actually I'm gonna pretend like I did more like a carpet day.
Speaker 2:I'll cut carpet all day. Man, anybody needs their carpet ripped out I'll rip that shit out.
Speaker 1:I think I did that once with you and we had to go to the store and get new carpet and like you're talking about, on our old house, which we are landlord, wanted to come inspect it.
Speaker 2:Didn't we pass though? Yeah, so what had well?
Speaker 1:he ended up trying to sue us later, because the dog ripped it up again.
Speaker 2:No cuz. So the dog ripped up like the little bit around the door and so you and me cut out the whole carpet in my room. Well, the only thing is I don't know how they did this, but it was like seamless. So the carpet was, it was like one piece of carpet through the entire fucking house. There was no seams on any of it. So when we cut it we kind of like fucked that up.
Speaker 1:And then we put we put the thing over top of it.
Speaker 2:Well, and then we didn't want to deal with the closet, so we were like, well, we'll just cut on the closet. So then we cut the closet out. So then we just had the shape of my room that we had to fill with carpet. We looked up how to do it. We did terrific, did we? We laid this carpet down in my mind so so well that he came by, walked through this house and didn't even notice, and the carpet was a different color than the other one.
Speaker 1:That was just his doing.
Speaker 2:Well, I'm saying the the carpet, like if you looked at the closet and we pushed our dresser in the closet to kind of cover it up, but if you look at the transition on the carpet, to.
Speaker 1:That was the only way to tell it was.
Speaker 2:I mean, it was clear as day. This is not the same color carpet. But he came by, he looked at it, passing everything, and then afterwards we I think we even might have got our deposit back from that house.
Speaker 1:And that's why I tried to sue you for any message.
Speaker 2:Justin was like hey, I need your new address, my attorney needs to send you guys some papers and we're like okay, we gave my address and you never send us anything. But I I'm assuming it had to do with that, because that's like a two thousand dollar job.
Speaker 1:The floors are all. We got the papers because he okayed it and the attorney was like bro.
Speaker 2:He's probably like yeah, like you came in and you expected this and you had him resign for another lease as your bed yeah, and I I mean, it didn't look that bad. Honestly, I think it looked pretty good. We did a hell of a job for people that have never installed carpet.
Speaker 1:Didn't we go, didn't we go to a place and they just like gave us the rooms worth a carpet for free or something, or like for like 15. It was really cheap. He was like. He was like that's all you want and we're like, bro, yeah and he's like it was a big room.
Speaker 2:I mean it was like a fair amount of carpet.
Speaker 1:Yeah, but it was like it was less than $10.
Speaker 2:Well, because we were getting like the cheapest kind too, because that's like what was in the house.
Speaker 1:And he went in the back and he was like he's like, do we have any like rolls? We're just gonna throw away, yeah, I was like dude.
Speaker 2:I was like I just need. I remember that I don't want a nice one.
Speaker 1:I needed to look like this other I. I remember it being we did bad. That's what I remember.
Speaker 2:I remember I mean it looked great. I remember for a whole year I walked on that carpet.
Speaker 1:Well then, you know better than me, but I just remember being like it was in my room. It was, but that was also a really judgmental time in my life where I'm like everything I do is terrible.
Speaker 2:So maybe, yeah, well, it was because we had the dog locked in my room, because, fucking, we had so many dogs that wanted to fight each other.
Speaker 1:It was crazy they were friends outside and they just wouldn't be.
Speaker 2:it's like and my son was outside when they attack each other out there.
Speaker 1:Wow, man, yeah, this, I remember those dogs. Those dogs were crazy. That's what happens when you have Two like one was a purebred pit bull and the other one is like a pit bull and ridgeback, which is also aggressively territorial.
Speaker 2:And then they were also with a rottweiler that had been shot in the neck.
Speaker 1:Oh, that dog was hardcore. Don't remind me about him. I don't like to think about him. Um, just because of the whole traumatic experience with myself. Um, we can get another podcast, but um. You have to tell me about that, yeah it was when he passed away, bro, and I was the one who was there.
Speaker 2:Oh, yeah, okay, I thought you meant he attacked you or not.
Speaker 1:He nipped me in the butt sometimes when you and me were being brothers and like talking loud and he was being Territorial, but he never bit me hard and I'd be like a bro like. My brother, like I know you're big, stop it.
Speaker 2:You're big and aggressive, yeah, like, like. And whenever you growl, all the time, yeah that dog would growl when he'd wag his tail.
Speaker 1:You'd be loving on him and he'd be like You'd stop growing on him and be growl.
Speaker 2:Yeah, you're like. Which one do you want? You want, or do you not?
Speaker 1:want it. Whatever that dog was, he was cool, but I just don't think about him a lot because of that block. Yeah, no, I understand Um but yeah, let's get into our, uh, our first. Actually, I want to get into the how we're gonna do the segment of the show. We're gonna switch our segment up now, guys, to where it's talk about weekends. My brother has his first segment, the, the past segment. I like to just only say the name once, because it's it's a mouthful.
Speaker 2:Drew also has a segment that he wants to introduce sometime soon. He told me about it. I do too. Um, he hasn't mentioned it yet.
Speaker 1:I'll tell you guys about it. I don't know if I want to do this or not, because so I was thinking about going on and finding a rant over the week and then playing the rant and then saying whether or not I agree with it and why or why not I agree with it.
Speaker 2:I think it's it's a good idea.
Speaker 1:I also kind of think it's a good idea. But when I went to go on rants on tick tock maybe tick tock's a bad place it was women bitching about men. And I'm gonna tell you right now I know it's out You're on nine times out of ten I'm gonna disagree with you.
Speaker 1:So that's why I don't know if that's gonna be a good segment. Yes, and then and then, after the segments guys, we're not gonna do three articles anymore, because the three articles thing was, uh, when we first started the show and we needed, we had content we have content now. So we're gonna go down to one article each Uh, trying to streamline the show, because we we get off topic. Let's be real, we just kind of shoot the shit.
Speaker 2:Well, we were supposed to make this show shorter, and I feel like we've already talked for 30 minutes that we were gonna make this show. We're gonna go over that anyway.
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah, life happens. But kids came in. Kids, well, exactly.
Speaker 2:I'm just. I'm just saying it's, we can do one and still have enough content.
Speaker 1:We got contents. We got contents for days. Um, I don't know, I'm mad in this. I feel weird.
Speaker 2:Um, but yeah, let's go, actually give us time to stop and and talk about the articles that were, uh, that were going over.
Speaker 1:Yeah, it'll just give us a little more time to like expand and like deviate, so we're not just like Two o'clock in the morning like, oh, it's finished, she's exactly push through this, just finished I don't want to push through.
Speaker 1:I want to make good, good content, I agree. So, um, let's get into our first segment, since we already talked about my future segment. If you guys want to message us or do whatever and tell us whether or not you like that idea, that'd be cool. If not, you probably won't because you guys don't do that. You just listen, which I'm still very thankful for. Yeah.
Speaker 2:I can't really say anything because, honestly, I've never written to a podcast or Don't know anything like that one a podcast. Yeah, it's not a thing people like to do, but like we're really new you gotta be a special kind of person to do that, and you guys just aren't those type of, except for me, and you did that.
Speaker 1:Yeah, which doesn't make you bad it just makes you like me it makes you exactly like everyone else Exactly. We're not bad people. We're just not exceptionally awesome people, exactly, um. But yeah, so let's jump into our our first um segment, past moments reported presently uh with daniel. Take it away daniel, all right.
Speaker 2:So we're gonna be doing september 15th um, which is friday, and then, 1835 september 15th, charles darwin arrived in the galapagos islands.
Speaker 1:I just want to say we've previewed list, list, and I think this is about us because it's gonna get. It's not gonna get much better than this. No, yeah.
Speaker 2:Drew's dreadnate English naturalist, charles darwin, arrives in the galapagos islands aboard the hms beagle and I'm very, very thankful for him doing this.
Speaker 1:Otherwise, we'd all still be brainwashed by religion.
Speaker 2:While visiting the islands, he took samples of geological and biological specimens and existing maps of the art. Our acapella go there you go, thank you.
Speaker 1:I love that word.
Speaker 2:He was surprised by the differences in animal species, specifically mockingbirds and tortoises, between each individual island. Darwin later used the information he gathered to form the foundation of his theory on evolution that he published in On the origin of species a sexy book guys and few uh haven't read that book.
Speaker 1:Uh, people who haven't read that book. I remember had an ex-girlfriend's mom who said what you think you evolved from a monkey's ass and I said, um no, I think that's what some Like bible thumping person said, and like what you're riding, I think my ass probably evolved from a monkey's ass. Yeah, yeah, but she, she was like she's like pushing the part that my brain's a baboons, but I'm like um, no, just science class.
Speaker 2:Yeah, it was once a baboons. Yeah, at some point, um, and then, 55 years later, on september 15th, agatha christie is born.
Speaker 1:I don't know who she is, but I've heard her name.
Speaker 2:I don't either and I know I've heard her name, so she's got to be somebody um. Dame agatha mary clarrissa christie lady malawan knee miller Is born in torquay, devon, england. Over the course of her prolific writing career, christie published 66 detective novels, 14 short story collections and several plays and novels. In 1926 she disappeared under mysterious Circumstances before turning up in a hotel months later using the surname of her husband's mistress.
Speaker 1:Whoa.
Speaker 2:She died in 1976 at the age of 85.
Speaker 1:I wonder if her husband and her husband's mistress were killed.
Speaker 2:I don't know that whole thing is that sounds that's metal bro. Like. So that's how we probably Probably know. I mean, we both are pretty big in the literature, so yeah, probably see that name around, yeah in school or whatever agatha, and I feel like agatha. They probably taught us about her. What a cool name she has to have and it says detective novels, she, she has to have dude.
Speaker 1:I love detective stuff, so I've definitely read something that she's, that she's written there. There has to be a way. I have to have read her shit, agatha christie. It literally. You don't even have to finish it. It finishes it for you when you put in agatha. She looks like a detective.
Speaker 2:Novel writer dude um Plays the mousetrap, murder is easy.
Speaker 1:Oh, the mouth, the mousetrap.
Speaker 2:We just read that and one of her plays is murder is easy.
Speaker 1:She's metal.
Speaker 2:Um witness for the prosecution.
Speaker 1:Yeah, dude, she definitely murdered her husband and murdered her husband's mistress black coffee towards zero murder on the nile I mean a lot of these are murder on the nile, are older, yeah, yeah, yeah, like I would say, through through eighties.
Speaker 2:No, we're talking, I see 1932 holy shit 32. No 1930 all the way up to, there's one at 2003 called chimneys.
Speaker 1:That was probably just rereleased after she died.
Speaker 2:I mean, there's also a 1972 fiddlers three. And there's alibi in 2019. Which when did she die? She died In 76, so yeah, those had to be rereleased. I would say 72 was probably her last 73.
Speaker 1:Because like, if I wrote some shit and then I died, and then I had three blind mice. It was probably just named that dog. It wasn't like. Yeah, this short story like the original.
Speaker 2:Not that creative.
Speaker 1:Well, it's it's. The thing is is there's probably like three characters in it who are blind to what's happening around them. So she's like that's a fun title. Yeah, and there's a lot of. I mean, it's all just about murder. Yeah, lots murder is almost in every title that I'm looking at right now. Yeah, lots of murder. I appreciate the way that this lady writes, because I have got some dark jokes so and it's just strange, the disappearance and the topping up with the mistress like I said, I got the theory.
Speaker 1:We've heard the theory twice for me, I'm not gonna say it again.
Speaker 2:Yeah, it's interesting. Um, and then 1911, uh, september 15th, we got Leah Pappin. The youngest Pappin sister is born.
Speaker 1:All right. So I lied. I guess there's a little bit of bright stuff going on, unless she's a terrible person. I don't know anything about her.
Speaker 2:Well, I see Some of the words in here and I don't think you're gonna like it.
Speaker 1:Okay, Well, great.
Speaker 2:Leah Pappin, the youngest Pappin sister, is born in France. Leah Pappin, along with her older sister, christine, worked as live-in maids for the Lanslin family in Le Mans, france. It sounds like a good gig. On February 2nd 1933, leah and Christine killed two members of the Lanslin family during a scuffle.
Speaker 1:Oh wow.
Speaker 2:Other family members would eventually find their Badly beaten and mutilated bodies in the entryway to the house. Police soon arrested the two sisters for the crime. Immediately, the two girls confessed to the murders but claimed that they were done in self-defense. Their case would divide 1930s France along class lines.
Speaker 1:That's metal, bro. These two maid ladies were literally like we were just protecting ourselves and they're like you're just maids, you can't do that.
Speaker 2:And I like 1911. We're allowed to beat you.
Speaker 1:Yeah. And then everyone else is like no dog, there's a lot of us, you can't do that. And then they're like second French Revolution.
Speaker 2:Started by the maids.
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah, dude, that was probably like the third or fourth or fifth, they've been through like nine of them.
Speaker 2:That's like another way to like go on strike.
Speaker 1:Yeah, bro, I just watched this thing about Mexico and the forming of Mexico and how they had a class system and like if you lived in Mexico but you were a Spaniard born in Spain, you were like the highest of the high. You know what I'm saying. And then if you were a Spaniard who was born in Mexico, you're just under that. You're just under them, but you're still not as good. And then under those people were like anyone. If you were mixed with, like the Aztec people, the Native American people or the Black people, you were.
Speaker 2:I know that there is like yeah, I know that there's some sort of separation. You know what the lowest was.
Speaker 1:The lowest was the Native American people or the lowest in the class? Because they were trying to be like your gods and stuff are not real.
Speaker 2:So do you know what has the lowest, second lowest? What place in the world has the second lowest life expectancy?
Speaker 1:Some place with fried food. I'm going to guess.
Speaker 2:Draw a guess.
Speaker 1:Second lowest life expectancy. Probably not fried food price Some place with like Somalia.
Speaker 2:OK, so the.
Speaker 1:I'm sorry.
Speaker 2:On the lowest is Chad, at fifty three point six eight. But right around there is what's? The second lowest? Oh, the second was I right?
Speaker 1:Was it Somalia?
Speaker 2:So the look that the list I looked up is country. So what I'm about to say is not going to be on here because it's not a country. It's kind of a country actually it's. I guess how reservations are are listed? Is they're listed as sovereign nations?
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2:So I believe it's the point pleasant it's. It's called Point Pleasant in it's. It's the Lakota Sioux is no Like?
Speaker 1:is there is no like a show about that shit or something?
Speaker 2:I heard it on a podcast, but the Lakota Sioux Reserve actually had a reservation. Actually has the second lowest life expectancy in the world.
Speaker 1:And what is it like? Twenty three, because they just really low I, it's right there around that so there is a fucking show called Point Pleasant, but it's all about white people and local guy life, white lifeguards, so it has nothing to do with what we're talking about. Yeah, but I have heard of that show and I just wanted to make sure I'm. You want to go back to the the, the stay in history.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I just want to check real quick and make sure Pine Ridge I'm sorry, it's Pine Ridge.
Speaker 1:OK.
Speaker 2:OK, pine Ridge, that's where also where, like when they were doing that Pipeline, that's where they all stood off against them at Pine Ridge.
Speaker 1:I remember because I was working with this girl who is from New Mexico and she was Native American and she was fucking pissed about it. Yeah, I just want to make sure, and she had, she had a reason to be pissed about it, you know. Yeah, so I mean that's, that's something you can go, pretty the thing she was pissed about was that was the land that they were given to them by the Americans after they took everything and shit on them, and then they were trying to take that back.
Speaker 2:Well, yeah, and the thing is that's what they do to most tribes, except actually the Seminole tribe of Florida actually fucking thrives. But all other tribes, like the Navajo Nation, the Navajo Nation doesn't do too bad, but the Lakota Sioux they do awful. But I heard something like the Seminole tribe of Florida. If you're a child born in the Seminole tribe of Florida they put up a trust for you immediately when you're born. They make money and by the time you're 18, you're usually worth about three point five million dollars.
Speaker 1:I would believe that, because I knew a kid who was the whitest white kid but his mom was like half like Seminole Indian and he didn't. He looked, he's like, oh, I'm a quarter.
Speaker 2:It's just the Seminole tribe of Florida. They actually own hard rock. They bought the brand of hard rock.
Speaker 1:Bro, he literally got like in high school. This kid got ten thousand dollars a month just for being Native American. I go you. He looked like David Cross dude.
Speaker 2:Yeah, dude, it's crazy. It's crazy how much, how well that, and I don't understand it. I don't know why they did so well and then why the other ones were discriminated against.
Speaker 1:You know, you know what was crazy is that he threw the best parties because he had so much money, I would imagine a ten thousand dollar party. I mean, he didn't do that the ten, not ten thousand dollars.
Speaker 2:Fucking. I was pretty. Yeah, you were hardcore. I was pretty loose with my money in high school.
Speaker 1:Is that the last one, or?
Speaker 2:No, I think we got the Nuremberg race laws pass in Nazi Germany in 1935.
Speaker 1:It could have been. It could have been the last one.
Speaker 2:The German parliament passes the Nuremberg race laws, two pieces of legislation that provided the legal framework for the Nazis persecution of Jewish people. The laws were designed by Adolf Hitler and the Nazi party, and they stripped Jewish men, women and children of German citizenship and forbade marriage between Jewish and German citizens. The Nuremberg race laws did not define a Jew as someone who practiced the Jewish religion, but rather as someone who had three to four Jewish grandparents, and I just want to put a disclaimer on this. Drew didn't want us to do this one because it's such a touchy feeling, but I wanted to make sure that we did it, just because if it's history and it's part of history and it's on this list we have to go over it.
Speaker 1:It's not that I didn't want to do it, it's that.
Speaker 2:I assuming there's one person that never heard of it.
Speaker 1:I had mixed feelings about it and I don't know if you noticed, guys, but I didn't give any funny commentary on that one.
Speaker 2:There's nothing funny. There's nothing funny to say, yeah, it's an awful thing that happened.
Speaker 1:No jokes, no jokes.
Speaker 2:No jokes, jump into the next one 1963, the Birmingham church bombing.
Speaker 1:I'd rather joke about this.
Speaker 2:A bomb explodes before the Sunday morning service at 16th Street Baptist Church in Birmingham, Alabama, killing four young girls.
Speaker 1:Oh no.
Speaker 2:The predominantly black congregation. Jesus Christ they got to be so bad.
Speaker 1:Every single one of these are terrible.
Speaker 2:It's awful. The predominantly black, the sentence gets worse and worse and worse. It really does.
Speaker 1:Who words these things? I don't know, bro, say it, you have to say it, you want to say it. The last thing you got to say this thing too, you got to just finish it All right, I can do this.
Speaker 2:Bye-bye, game face.
Speaker 1:Deep breath in, deep breath out.
Speaker 2:I can't even read this one. It's just such an awful thing that happened.
Speaker 1:I'm gonna read the rest of it. It's terrible and Drew's gonna just keep laughing at me when I'm trying to read it, Because it says because Drew said we should do tomorrow's and not today's. And he said no, he said no, it's history and we gotta stick to it, which is fine.
Speaker 1:The predominantly black congregation was targeted by none other than you guessed it right the Klu Klux Klan. Those assholes. They didn't put that in there. We put that in there Because the church also served as a meeting place for civil rights leaders. Like you know his name Martin Luther King Jr.
Speaker 2:The explosion was the third bombing in 11 days in a wave of violence. Following a federal court order to integrate Alabama's public school system, it would take 14 years before anyone was prosecuted for the attack.
Speaker 1:If anyone in the Klu Klux Klan ever wants to meet me anywhere to box. If you guys want to fight, I'll fight you.
Speaker 2:We should have done tomorrow.
Speaker 1:We should have done tomorrow, but you wanted to do this one. It said a dark day in history at the top, did it not?
Speaker 2:Did it? Oh, no, it just says this.
Speaker 1:I thought it said a dark day in history.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I'm gonna circle back though.
Speaker 1:Like Klu Klux Klan members, I know we only have 50 listeners and none of you are KKK members. If you guys want to fight like fist fight, I'm sure Jake Paul will put it on for us.
Speaker 2:Yeah, not really friendly with the Klu Klux Klan.
Speaker 1:Yeah no, if you're a racist, you could literally get beat up by anyone. I don't even care. Anyone like a grandma could beat you up. I don't care. You could get hit by a car. Honestly, it's fine. I don't want the car to get hurt, Fuck racism.
Speaker 2:The picture is pretty bad too.
Speaker 1:Yeah, bro, it is. There's one white guy, two white guys over there that look like they're detectives asking questions.
Speaker 2:Yeah, and then fucking, the whole side of the building is blown out. Yeah, it's bad stuff Bad bad stuff Like mangled shit off to the right.
Speaker 1:So I guess we'll just jump into my first article, since this day in history was so bad.
Speaker 2:Yeah, that's good, because my article is kind of funny.
Speaker 1:Yeah, my article is stupid. It's so stupid. The Coast Guard arrested a man trying to run across the Atlantic Ocean in a giant hamster wheel.
Speaker 2:What law did he break, though?
Speaker 1:He was trying to cross the Atlantic in a quote unquote hydropod made from buoys. Authorities in Flagler County, Florida, responded to Beluchi in his vessel in 2021 and posted photos on Facebook. I guess he posted it and said he wanted to use it for it and it says try as you might. This guy, Reza Beluchi, can't reach his destination without running a foul of the US Coast Guard. The key problem is his vessel, a giant floating hamster wheel made of buoys and wire, self-propelled by Beluchi running inside. Beluchi lives in Florida and he was granted asylum. Whoa, from Iran. He's a defector. That's fun. He was taken in by the Coast Guard last week aboard his vessel following several days of back and forth with the authorities. According to a criminal complaint filed in the US District Court in South Florida, the Coast Guard cutter Valiant came across Beluchi in his homemade vessel about 70 nautical miles east of an island off the coast of Georgia on August 26.
Speaker 2:It was right before Hurricane.
Speaker 1:Franklin. He told officers his designation was London, england. More than 4,000 miles away, he was asked for his vehicle registration. He said it was registered in Florida but that he couldn't find the registration. According to the compliant and the Coast Guard assessed his vessel, known as the hydro pod, and determined he was conducting a manifestly unsafe voyage.
Speaker 2:according to the Coast Guard, so if I was trying to take a kayak to England, I couldn't do that.
Speaker 1:If it's registered, I think you could. It's a kayak.
Speaker 2:You can't register a kayak. There's no engine on it.
Speaker 1:No, they're not going to let you.
Speaker 2:But it doesn't need registration. I haven't broken a law. Apparently there's no motor. Is there a motor on his thing?
Speaker 1:No, conducting a manifestly unsafe voyage is the law and that's not a thing, because you could sail across you. Just your boat is just. You can't sleep on it. It's so little. He's going to run the whole fucking way for like two, three months.
Speaker 2:You can't arrest someone for making a stupid decision that only harms themselves.
Speaker 1:Yes, you can. People get arrested for suicide all the time.
Speaker 2:You, it's the silliest thing, I just it is understand it. I can't wrap my head around that's. That's overstepping. I'm just saying that's not what law is put in place for the the.
Speaker 1:The officers asked him to join. They approached him in a small boat and asked him to join them and end his voyage, for him not being safe and then. So they didn't arrest him for that, and says. But Luchi replied that he had a 12 inch knife and would kill himself if the officers attempt to remove him from his vessel. The officers returned to cutter to stand on nearby. When they tried to again over the next day or so, get him to join them on a small boat, he displayed two knives and threatened to hurt himself if officers boarded.
Speaker 2:And then eventually he also boarded his vessel.
Speaker 1:He also threatened to blow himself up, of course, because he's from Iran. I don't believe that. I believe they just said that, along with his vessel. The officers saw him holding wires in his hand and believed. I don't believe that. I just don't believe that it's tough.
Speaker 2:Yeah, tough to believe it says.
Speaker 1:The following day a second Coast Guard cutter named Campbell arrived and sent a small boat to Bellucci to deliver food and water and Word that the hurricane was expected, and Bellucci refused again to leave his vessel and told the officers that the bomb wasn't real. On August 29th the Campbell once more sent a small boat and this time was able to safely remove him from his floating hamster wheel. So I don't think they forcibly removed him. I actually they did because it says he was released on a $250,000 bond.
Speaker 2:I Just think that I feel like they overstep their boundaries. Why? I mean, how much money did it take them?
Speaker 1:I'm trying.
Speaker 2:How many day? How long were they out there trying to discuss with?
Speaker 1:this guy I'm trying to try to find out what is what his charge is.
Speaker 2:It doesn't say you know how much money it takes to fucking just run an engine that far out with a boat. Takes a lot. I Feel like we lost money on that deal trying to protect this dude who was doing what he loved. Some people like doing dangerous things.
Speaker 1:Yeah, it's just kind of dumb.
Speaker 2:It's not really even comparable to the suicide thing.
Speaker 1:It's kind of dumb.
Speaker 2:It's like skydiving.
Speaker 1:I wouldn't do it skydiving sounds dangerous. I wouldn't do that either you know it's not freaking, yeah, but you also when you skydive, you have to sign, like, a non-disclosure agreement, like, like, maybe if he signed a non-disclosure Agreement and like told the world what he was doing, I think the problem also my non-disclosure agreement because it's a company and you're saying I can't sue you, he's can't sue anybody. He's doing it himself. Well see, that's also where the it's just like logistics.
Speaker 2:I feel like it's just people trying to get Involved and trying to get a couple bucks because they they charged him right, they gave him some sort of fee.
Speaker 1:His bond was 250,000, which means 10% of that's $25,000.
Speaker 2:Yeah, like they just want to give money. However, they can give money and they want to fucking kill fun. Don't want anybody to be happy. No, fun, fun killers smiling over there.
Speaker 1:No rest, I try not to Do. You got an article for us.
Speaker 2:I do have an article and it's way better than Than the this day in history, because workers a smash, a shortcut through the Great Wall, china, because they got tired of going around it.
Speaker 1:Fuck history.
Speaker 2:Yep to Chinese workers are recently arrested for Irreparably damaging a section of the Great Wall China by smashing through it with heavy machinery to create a shortcut China's Great Wall, one of the very few man-made, man-made structures visible from space.
Speaker 1:It's not visible from space, was built over several centuries, from the third century BC.
Speaker 2:Long sections of the giant structures are still around today and are protected as heritage sites, but that didn't stop two ignorant workers from simply smashing through a part of it that just happened to be in their way. Tomasses, the two suspects, the 38 year old man and a 55 year old woman. We're working near the affected area and got tired of having to go around the wall in order to reach I think the woman just convinced him to do it. Like if you knock down.
Speaker 1:If you knock down a hole in there, I'll suck your dick, yeah.
Speaker 2:I don't know. He must be into the older ones because she's like 17 years older than them.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I mean, how old is he?
Speaker 2:it might be your son 17 years.
Speaker 1:I feel like in China they're having kids.
Speaker 2:At 17, they decided to extend the gap in the centuries old structure, to then drive their excavator straight through it instead of going around. After being alerted about the damage to the wall, police in Shangzi province Followed the tracks left by the excavator straight to the two suspects, who eventually admitted to widening an existing gap in the Great Wall so that their excavator could pass through you legitimately admitted to that in a communist country.
Speaker 1:You're dead, you're done. You're gonna cut rocks for the rest of your life with a pick.
Speaker 2:Unfortunately, the damage caused to the wall has been described as irreparable. The damage section of the Great Wall is far away from the restored sections that you usually see in photos and that tourist visit, but it is still part of a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Now it has a dirt road going through.
Speaker 1:Oh, that's so funny. I really hope that in like 150 years they're like this is where two stupid people Open up more room.
Speaker 2:Currently, the two suspects have been criminally detained in accordance with the law and the cases continuing to be investigated. It's ironic how a structure that had endured for centuries and played a central role in the success of several Chinese Dynasties couldn't survive two workers who couldn't be bothered to go around it.
Speaker 1:I mean to be honest, it was the bulldozer.
Speaker 2:It is a video and I hope that they show the broken part of this wall. That's the broken part.
Speaker 1:Where right you're looking at it?
Speaker 2:That's the road.
Speaker 1:That's the road, that's the road that they so they said it was just a little a walkway that went through and that they widened it. And that's why I look at. We see how it all fell over. At the top right that used to be wall. Like halfway across that road they shredded it they shredded it dog and, like on the left side, that went straight up to there.
Speaker 2:I had to feel like a gangster, though, and his excavator going as fast as he could at the Great Wall of China, just like some workers were you know what I? Probably buried in this section.
Speaker 1:What's that fucking song? Janicha, janicha, janicha, janicha, janicha. Janicha, janicha, janicha, and he's like he's got like his hair's all long and he's got a cigarette and he's like, listen, like guns and roses Berry, the workers in the wall, like when they died, having they found bones in the wall. Oh yeah, that's a thing back then, because it was like Everything when you would do stuff. They're like just do it for your emperor. And they're like, yeah, I'll eat like a little bit of corn and just do this.
Speaker 2:I just I mean, were they brainwashed or were they all just wooses?
Speaker 1:They thought their emperor was a god Like yeah that's right, because I remember there wasn't, there was it's basically the way that North Korea is right now.
Speaker 2:It's the way Chinese or there was something where, like Donald Trump sent out a picture, like he tweeted a picture after he had met with their president show that he was taller than them.
Speaker 1:They flipped that he's not like.
Speaker 2:Yeah, that was not like the tallest person in the world, and North Korea got pretty upset about it.
Speaker 1:Yeah, apparently Rodman's friends with that guy.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I saw that I.
Speaker 1:Would.
Speaker 2:So that's like, that's like imagine if in like 2003 somebody just like, like Leonidas Zook see them right in front of freakin Everyone in North Korea who Rodman? No, not Rodman, just somebody like. Just somebody just like threw a knife and just like sliced.
Speaker 1:That person would be. This person would be dead before he bled.
Speaker 2:Maybe, but everyone would see him bleed, everyone would know he's not a god. They know that it's not they still believe he's a god.
Speaker 1:They do. They do. They think that he's like a God in a person body. That's what they think. They think he was bound, born on that mountain. I.
Speaker 2:Don't know. I saw that he had a brother that was like Assassinated in another country.
Speaker 1:Yeah, cuz it was probably out like you know who my dad is and like that's why.
Speaker 2:Well, I guess he was the one that was supposed to be the emperor.
Speaker 1:Oh, he was the chosen one. But then the chosen one was running his goddamn mouth.
Speaker 2:But he they said he had too much of a playboy lifestyle.
Speaker 1:I would have to and he too much of a leftist view. Oh, he would have like made it less, and so.
Speaker 2:He his dad probably killed him just got junk, no, cuz his dad ended up dying and he went back to North Korea and I can't think of the. What is it? Kim Jong-un?
Speaker 1:That's the one who's in trouble. Yeah, and he's.
Speaker 2:He went back. This brother went back and like saw him for the funeral and everything, and Then he left and when he left there was an assassination attempt on his life and there was like three more assassination attempts on his life and he thought it was his brother, the Kim Jong-un Jong-un. And so he wrote it to him plead and like stop trying to kill him.
Speaker 1:Yeah, he's like dude, I'm not coming for whatever your thing is, and then it's actually.
Speaker 2:it's actually a Mr Ballin story podcast that I listened to and what it was was it was these two girls that were trained to believe that they were just like on some like reality show when they were pranking people and they did some pranks and they were like, oh yeah, you know, we're doing some good pranks and we're making some money.
Speaker 2:Well, the thing was the producers were actually North Korean, like spies or whatever, and they were just getting these girls ready so that they could Put these two drugs on this one guy in a mall who actually happened to be the brother of Kim Jong-un. And so whenever they said, go, he's at the phone booth, these two girls ran up to him, put like this rag on his face and the other girls sprayed this perfume in his face. And then they're like oh, we're sorry, and it's actually on CCTV footage, you can watch it. And then they run away and then the dude collapses and they go to meet the producers, but the producers aren't there, they can't get ahold of them. And then they're police show up and that's when they realize, oh shit, we've been duped. These guys were actually North Korean agents.
Speaker 1:So the girls are just forever and Joe.
Speaker 2:No, actually I think they were freed because there was kind of like realized that they weren't really part of this. They were used.
Speaker 1:That's really smart of them to be like hey, let's make it like a prank thing that where these girls get paid like $5,000 and like well, it wasn't like five thousand, it's like a hundred American dollars per prank and they were sending it home to their families and like I don't remember what country they were from but they're like this is huge for us.
Speaker 2:Yeah, and it's all on CC. I mean you could look it up. Just look up Kim Jong-un's brother Murdered and you could see the CCTV and read all about it yourself. That's fucking nuts, bro, don't even know how we got there.
Speaker 1:Yeah, we just kind of got off topic, Um. But yeah, man, I think that's pretty much all I've got for today's episode.
