#73 - Canadian Podcasting Laws, Oktoberfest Delights, & Misunderstood Sayings
Show Notes Transcript Chapter Markers

Did you know that new broadcasting regulations in Canada could potentially hamper the freedom of small content creators? That’s the bone of contention we’re gnawing at today, as we navigate the nuanced landscape of the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission's rules. We're exploring the depth of this complex issue, pondering whether it's just a turf war between Canadian telecom titans and American web behemoths, or if there's something more brewing underneath.

Next stop, Germany! Today, we're taking you on a virtual whirlwind tour of Oktoberfest, complete with an insider's peek into traditional German snacks, music, and festivities. Along the way, we’re comparing the Oktoberfest celebrations in Germany and Lake Tahoe, and diving into a culinary adventure featuring onion rings, lemon wafers, and the legendary Kugeln chocolates from the Holleren factory. Prepare your taste buds, because we're about to embark on a gastronomic journey that will leave you craving for more.

To wrap up this episode, we're taking a detour into the realm of misunderstood sayings. We're dissecting phrases like "curiosity killed the cat" and "the early bird gets the worm", and unveiling their true meanings. And before we sign off, we’re inspecting Governor Newsome's controversial new law in California and its implications for mental health and addiction issues. So, buckle up and join us on this riveting ride that spans continents, cultures, and controversies.

Speaker 1:

Welcome back to some offense intended. I'm Jeremy Robinson.

Speaker 2:

Hi, I'm Mike Mick.

Speaker 1:

So the note that I saved for for this episode is is a very interesting one.

Speaker 2:

All right, I hope so.

Speaker 1:

Canada is doing some dumb shit again. That's not really surprised, because true dose still in charge.

Speaker 2:

Have good maple syrup.

Speaker 1:

I'm sure and hockey. But one's the last time they want to stay like up been a long time Okay.

Speaker 2:

I would like some Tim Hortons, though I always hear about. I want to try their donuts. I don't mean to change the subject.

Speaker 1:

Oh, it's, it's still, that's fine. So they're working on implementing new laws or it's already passed. I haven't read that that much into it, but I'm pretty sure it's already being passed.

Speaker 2:

I'm sure.

Speaker 1:

So I pulled up an article about it, but it has to do with Canadian podcasts and like podcasts in Canada in general. So this article from Yahoo I haven't read this one, but I'll all skim through it. And then there's some more notes. There's a. I just found a 31 page 31 pages of a PDF for Canadian podcast guides. Because of these new rules, 31 fucking pages seems like a bit much. It does. So. This is the Canadian radio, television and telecommunications Communications Commission. Crtc is implementing new rules for some broadcasters which will impact some Canadian podcasters, but how it will impact them remains to be seen.

Speaker 1:

The announcement has inspired a lightning rod of misinformation online, even attracting the attention of Elon Musk, who claims the move is about Prime Minister Justin Trudeau attempting to crush free speech in Canada, which I mean. Reading a little bit that I have so far, it seems like that's what it is. Yeah, like you. Look back to the, the fucking the protest with all the truckers and shit. Yeah, they broke like three of their own law. The Canadian government broke like three of their own fucking laws To seize assets. Like people that donated money. Yeah, to those truck because they weren't gonna get paid and they were starting to do this and that. Like they were making accounts for these guys and the money was being seized. So they started donating Crypto so that they could still use whatever and those were being seized. So like they did all kinds of shit and they arrested everybody. It was involved.

Speaker 2:

Maybe, maybe they need to be getting some of them arrested.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, so that's so. One content creator who rejects that narrative Jesse Brown, blah, blah, blah. Well, he doesn't believe the new steps are mains of reigning and free speech. He isn't thrilled about the changes on our way. This really is a battle between Canadian telecom giants and American web giants, and small Canadian successful content creators Are the roadkill caught in the middle of this. The CRTC move comes in light of the online streaming act, formally known as bill C11, which was originally meant to create a framework in order to force streaming platforms like Spotify or Netflix To promote and create Canadian content, but has since expanded to other services. Google has criticized bill C11 in the past. So that that right there tells you something Google help, and it's. This is like a known thing. Google helped censor search results in the last election.

Speaker 2:

Yeah.

Speaker 1:

Google has helped censor different shit Across the past like 15 years. Oh yeah all the time, so Google saying something that's, that's that means fucking, something.

Speaker 1:

Google criticized in the past, asking Ottawa not to regulate open platforms like broadcasters. Meanwhile, the online news act, commonly known as bill C18, has so far impacted Canadian news content on meta, which owns Facebook and Instagram, which has chosen to opt out from paying Canadian news outlets for posting news on their sites under the required regulations. It says these latest steps impact certain online streaming services that will be required to provide information about their activities in Canada Portains to streamers operating within the country that offer broadcasting content and earn 10 million or more yearly in revenues. So that does limit it to just the most successful. The CRTC has set conditions, which took effect on September 29th. Okay, so it's already a thing For online streaming to operate within Canada. They now require certain online streaming services to supply them with information related to the content they offer and who is subscribing.

Speaker 1:

Oh, that's that's weird, such as contact information and type of services offered. The new guidelines also prohibit some content producers from making the content available on one specific platform to enter or internet service, so Canadians are not required to change their home internet or mobile service provider in order to gain access. According to the CRTC, under the latest framework, users of social media do not have to register, but social media services do. Online services that offer podcasts must register. However, individuals who use social media to share podcasts do not. That's, that's a weird one. Online services that offer podcast Okay, so, like Cox communications or spectrum, would have to register because they Offer that, because it's the internet service provider. Online services that only provide video game services or audiobooks do not have to register.

Speaker 1:

This register services will be published on the CRTC's website. It says what they're currently doing is a far cry from the messaging he originally received on the matter from the government. It does seem like they've toned it down From like the complete overreach that it was supposed to be originally.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, it's not interested in targeting podcasts, instead wanted to focus on web giants and that people who uploaded podcasts wouldn't be included. While Brown's company doesn't currently earn 10 million an annual revenue, the companies he relies on that provide Canada lands content. Canada lands sounds like a company. Yeah, it does. Like Apple, spotify will probably be included in the changes.

Speaker 1:

He says that leaves his company in the dark about what could happen next. Canada is demanding regulatory changes to the way they deliver podcasts that no other country is demanding and some other companies have said we're not going to offer our services in Canada. That would have potentially potentially ruinous consequences to all podcasting in Canada if any of the big players were to say it's not worth the effort Because what they're saying is now Spotify is going to have to pay and obey the regulations for Canadian Jim to upload his podcast on to Spotify. Spotify would then have to supply the Canadian government CRTC with the Canadian government. Spotify would then have to supply the Canadian government CRTC with Canadian Jim's contact info and All of the fucking subscribers.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, then I can do that fucking podcast.

Speaker 1:

I don't think they're gonna do that, no at all.

Speaker 2:

So we're not in Canada, so we won't have to deal with yeah and I don't know that. We've had a lot of Canadian listeners.

Speaker 1:

I haven't checked that in a long time.

Speaker 2:

I don't recall seeing it on the list.

Speaker 1:

Brown ads. The companies like CBC and Rogers which have podcasting divisions will be included, since those companies as a whole Make more than 10 million revenues of, not exclusively from podcasts. The intention is for those companies to pay into the Canadian content industry, so they're they're framing this as a like payback into your society, kind of shit like take care of your community.

Speaker 1:

In turn, it's assumed that if corporations pay into the system, they'll eventually also be able to get funding from the government for the content. These things just have reverberations that change everything. We just don't know, and it'll probably be months or years till we do know. Doesn't see it being about censorship, as many on social media are claiming. The amendment comes as a result of the legacy media of Canada Lobbying for these changes. So the competitors, like Netflix and Disney plus, have to pay into the same system. So it's another. To me it seems like it's another move of like make the big guy pay for little shit and it's just going to drown a little guy again.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, of course.

Speaker 1:

Because that's, that's what's gonna fucking happen. It's gonna fuck, it's gonna backfire massively. And then not just that, like it said, it might end up being. So, if you follow these fucking whatever, it might at some point have the government fund for content. What do you think's gonna? Happen, then Then they want to control the narrative.

Speaker 1:

You can't say this anymore and then it's gonna be like a news station. One of the great things about podcasts and that's why Joe Rogan started this podcast originally is when he found out about him. He's like bro, I can say whatever the fuck I want on here. There's no producers, there's no directors, there's no this, there's no that. From a big company telling me, like on an interview on CNN or Fox or CBS, nbc, whatever there's no oversight saying, hey, you can't say that, I need that edit it out. You can't say this stuff on TV, you can't say this. You can't say this. Podcasting is a free, available platform to say whatever the fuck you want to say.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, I like it and that's why Joe Rogan got into it so heavy, because he saw the, he saw the potential, and I mean he's done pretty well, fucking potential.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, I watched it. I watched some of his podcasts quite a bit. Yeah, he's always got good shit, but he also has good in it.

Speaker 1:

I've been trying to find like full episodes of it and I can't find fucking videos Like the full videos of any of his podcasts, even on his website.

Speaker 2:

Yeah.

Speaker 1:

I don't know how the fuck to find them.

Speaker 2:

I don't know, maybe, maybe just because I know he's on Spotify, so maybe you just have to listen to his episodes.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, well, I got he's excluded.

Speaker 2:

He has a contract with Spotify. Yeah.

Speaker 1:

That that might be the full reason behind it. Then, like, because he video records them all, do they only release the clips?

Speaker 2:

then I guess, but he Always has good interviews. Yes, yeah interesting people like he has a broad scope of people like. I've seen pro wrestlers on there, I've seen scientists on. I've seen all sorts of cool stuff, oh yeah.

Speaker 1:

They'll have fucking random people on for no reason. But one of the things I was doing recently was, like two weeks ago, whatever I was doing shrooms, yeah, I was like bro, I want to fucking watch it. Joe Rogan podcast Interview like where he's just telling shroom stories. So I tried to look up like Joe Rogan talking about shrooms and all I could find was like a four minute video clip and that's it.

Speaker 2:

I'm sure what the follow. You might find more, but it might be hard to find a specific episode.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, so that was that was fairly frustrating on like okay, Well, I guess I'm fucking watching something else then but yeah, we've had.

Speaker 2:

We've had 10. We have other countries that have listened to us a lot more than Canada. Canada, we've had 10 lessons in Canada. Okay, germany's way ahead of them, finland's way ahead of them, united Kingdoms ahead of them.

Speaker 1:

Nice. Well, thank you, to thank you to all.

Speaker 2:

Yes then at one point at one point we had more people in Finland listen to us. Then we had in sparks.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, I thought I was funny. I've said it before, just but real quick. So we we can't see any information about who listens other than the location your IP comes from. Yeah, it's all we know is. So it's just a general area, like if it's a country, like it might show us the city, or fucking like the Territory in Canada doesn't show us your name.

Speaker 2:

It doesn't show any information about you.

Speaker 1:

It doesn't show us anything and speaking of that Please like subscribe share. But yeah, so don't like when we talk about the. What the fuck is that word?

Speaker 2:

I don't know. You're the one about to say it.

Speaker 1:

Demographics All right. Yeah, we're talking about the demographics of, like, who's listening? That's so buzzsprout who we use for Uploading, because they upload the. They upload the sound file to everything. Yeah, they give us all of that data on like a map and it'll show you like the counters and this and that and like whatever, so you can track it that way. But it doesn't have, don't be nervous, don't stop listening, because you're like oh well, they know where I am, we don't know who it is.

Speaker 1:

We don't know anything about it other than like dope. Somebody listened from fucking Finland, like he said.

Speaker 2:

When we got our first listener Internationally, I was excited.

Speaker 1:

It was fucking great.

Speaker 2:

So many in a different country, listen to us, you know.

Speaker 1:

Speaking of international. Yes, there's another universal yams box.

Speaker 2:

That was a good segue.

Speaker 1:

Thank you Almost like. I practiced it, but I definitely did not. We don't know what's in it. We have not looked it is a German snack box.

Speaker 2:

That's all we know. Is it's German?

Speaker 1:

Adjust my seat a little bit so it's closer to the mic. Closer to the mic. Welcome to Germany. It has the little Hansel and Gretel with the candy house in it Goot and talk from Germany.

Speaker 2:

That would be hello.

Speaker 1:

It's one of the hello's there are many. Yeah, once upon a time there was a box, and that box flew all the way from Germany to your doorstep so that you could try some of the best snacks in the world. But that's only the start of this month's tale. Get ready to discover Germany's historic castles, exciting festivals and, of course, delicious chocolate Some of the best in the world, ready to live happily ever after.

Speaker 2:

Speaking of festivals, this last weekend, across the street from me, they had the Oktoberfest.

Speaker 1:

Oh, okay.

Speaker 2:

And for the Oktoberfest they had live music. Yeah, that's always great, but they had Irish music for Oktoberfest.

Speaker 1:

What.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, that's what I kind of thought.

Speaker 1:

Are you sure it was Irish music?

Speaker 2:

Yeah, they advertised it as Irish music.

Speaker 1:

Oh.

Speaker 2:

And they played Dropkick Murphy's.

Speaker 1:

Oh, okay, well, that's interesting.

Speaker 2:

But it's from a festival in Germany that was first to celebrate a wedding in 1810. I'm guessing they didn't listen to a lot of Irish music at that particular festival, but they did drink a lot of beer.

Speaker 1:

Yeah.

Speaker 2:

So that doesn't mean it's Irish though.

Speaker 1:

They just had an Oktoberfest up at Lake Tahoe, like Southlake. They had fucking big festivals often, whatever. So they had and I was interested in going, but it was. I want to say it was either last week or like the end of September. Bro, this is fucking Oktoberfest.

Speaker 2:

Well, it usually starts in September and ends in October, but it was one day In Germany. It lasts the whole time.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, but it was one day in.

Speaker 2:

Tahoe and they got a whole field and they got these big tents. It's a whole different thing there.

Speaker 1:

They take it more seriously.

Speaker 2:

I think in like two years I'm going For sure it's huge there and, like I said, it's not just a day or two.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, it'd be fucking great. So these are definitely some interesting snacks.

Speaker 2:

I want to have one of those big beers out of them. See them carrying it.

Speaker 1:

They carry a lot of them at one time too.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, I don't want to do that, I just want to drink one.

Speaker 1:

Oh, the national bird of Germany is the golden eagle.

Speaker 2:

Nice, that's actually a cool fucking bird. Yeah, I remember correctly, it's a big eagle.

Speaker 1:

I don't know. They just have a picture of a cartoony one.

Speaker 2:

I'm just saying I remember correctly, the golden eagle is actually a quite large eagle.

Speaker 1:

All right. So we have ketchup fries those are called Poms ketchup. We have Zwiebels, that's onion rings.

Speaker 2:

I like onion rings.

Speaker 1:

Vaffles, lemon wafers.

Speaker 2:

There's some. Looks like a toy for a Happy Meal.

Speaker 1:

It does. I think these are the. They're a little like. I just read what the fuck it is. Candies Like chocolate caramel. All right, I'm in.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, that's Happy Meal toy.

Speaker 1:

There's. What are these? There's two more little. There's a couple little guys in here. Grate fruit, johannes beer. I'll take the beer. You can have the grape fruit All right.

Speaker 2:

and then there is Tolerant coogle.

Speaker 1:

Coogle I've heard coogle, but I don't know. I don't know.

Speaker 2:

I've heard coogle, but I don't remember I've ever had coogle it's coconut and dark chocolate I'm in, I'll eat it.

Speaker 1:

All right, so Doesn't look like anything spicy. No, nothing spicy. So let's start with the ketchup fries probably.

Speaker 2:

Yeah.

Speaker 1:

Ketchup potato sticks. Sorry, they're not. They're not fries, Okay.

Speaker 2:

Speaking of fries, the fries I had today, those were ones you would have liked. They were crispy. I'm not coming to try the onion rings.

Speaker 1:

This is the German snack for anyone who loves fries. Blah, blah, blah. Classic dish made in Germany. Something more iconic than ketchup and fries is ketchup fries and curry worst, the classic dish made by pouring a mix of curry powder and ketchup over grilled German first sausage and palms fries was first made in 1949 Berlin. Now it's ubiquitous across all major cities, but none more than Berlin's even tradition for every mayoral candidate to have a photo op at a curry worst. Stand here. You'll taste the spicy ketchup and fries classic and an extra crispy snack. So there might be spice. I'll try it first. It's going to be fucking. It's curry. That's fucking great. This last line is fucking amazing. All right, you'll taste the spicy ketchup and fries classic and an extra crispy snack. Without the worst, this snack might just be the best. Yeah, nailed it. That's fucking great, all right. So, yeah, I don't feel like trying to read any of the rest of that. Sorry for the crinkles.

Speaker 2:

He's not. He's not sorry.

Speaker 1:

Well, it's a lot louder than the voices. So yeah, I am. I hate when there's like. Well, not just that, but I hate when there's like, like I've been listening to one of Grant Cardone's podcasts recently.

Speaker 2:

Yeah.

Speaker 1:

And like the beginning and the exit, like the intros, the volume is fucking wild.

Speaker 2:

Oh, and I know.

Speaker 1:

And they don't match the voice volume to it. So you have to like just oh fuck, Like just deal with it for a second and then get back into the fucking voice volume.

Speaker 2:

I've run across on a podcast. There's a podcast, both of us listen to it. They started doing a music intro and sometimes the music controls just so fucking loud.

Speaker 1:

I'll grab two of them. Yeah, and like that's one of the things like TV shows and movies, I don't know. Like a lot of them seem to have gotten it under control. They're like the voice will be talking about, like this, and then just randomly Bang Like fucking explosions or whatever fucking happens. It's like Jesus fucking. I was trying to hear what they were saying and now I'm deaf.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, I hate when that happens. I turn up the volume because I want to hear what they're saying, and then it's like there's something happens and you're like Shit, now I have to turn it all the way back down again.

Speaker 1:

All right, that is super crunchy and I don't really taste any spicy. It's definitely. It's like a veggie straw, Like consistency, but a little crispier. It's actually pretty good. So I People can hear those crunches. I'm like it's interesting.

Speaker 2:

But it's not bad.

Speaker 1:

Yeah. I don't know that I'd pick it up at the store, but yeah, it was like hey, you want some like I might have to.

Speaker 2:

I'm not also wanting to spit it out either.

Speaker 1:

So you can definitely taste the ketchup, but it doesn't taste like overly sugary or salty, like fucking ketchup here.

Speaker 2:

Well, they've got um. I'd seen at the stores They've got the Uh Doritos with ketchup.

Speaker 1:

Oh, those are milk and milk and honey, caramels, caramels now from the land of milk and honey.

Speaker 2:

The fuck it is.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, we'll do onion rings next, cuz fries and any rings go together, yep and Burger King you can get half and half now. I was waiting for you to bring up the side you're gonna say for a Burger King, you can get them without onions.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, you can do that too. You gonna happen to happen without onions, because that's the way they come, oh.

Speaker 1:

These are low guys too. I thought they were gonna be big, but they're just. They're like Sonic rings. If you fucking watch the video, you can see them. It's like the size of a, a Small scrunchie can't even put it out on your pinky.

Speaker 2:

No, you can't you just put that back in.

Speaker 1:

So I can grab a, grab a handful, because they're low guys.

Speaker 2:

I don't take one out, but I can't.

Speaker 1:

I didn't lick it first. They hate to break it to you. There's no onions inside these, but they do taste pretty fucking good, very good. These are way better than funions Way better. These are good, very good.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, I, these I'd pick up at the store. Yeah, it's been a long time since that upon you.

Speaker 1:

Like salty. They're disappointing. Don't get them. There's like salty ish like a good fucking onion to crisp taste flavor like it's fucking amazing.

Speaker 2:

That's really good other than Burger King.

Speaker 1:

Oh for sure. Wow, that would be great to dip into shit too that's got a good onion flavor.

Speaker 2:

It's got a good mix. I like it a.

Speaker 1:

Lot, that's fucking good.

Speaker 2:

Yeah.

Speaker 1:

Speaking of onions Driving through Fresno. Yeah, like well, on the way to and from Fresno, the smells of different California cities is fucking weird.

Speaker 2:

Did you go in? Oh, you weren't, you weren't so don't go through Gilroy. That's garlic country right there.

Speaker 1:

I'm under driven through it because I've smelled either garlic or green onions.

Speaker 2:

Look um, there's more garlic growing there than anywhere else, and you would know if you were there because that maybe I've drove through the green onion field cuz, it's further up.

Speaker 1:

Because, like Modesto, smelled like absolute shit. Sorry, garrett, but your hometown smells fucking awful. It smelled like shit, like not horseshit, not cow shit there was plenty of those that I drove through of like it smells like the country and like Like farm, because you smell all the fucking animals in the feces and the the fields.

Speaker 2:

I think they have something about that. On there. They're signed going into town.

Speaker 1:

Modesto. If you smell like shit, yeah, probably welcome to the most to Modesto.

Speaker 2:

It smells like shit.

Speaker 1:

Welcome to the shit. Yeah, so like it's, that was weird. But then I drove through that one like green onion spot, like this is weird and I drove through one. I'm like, why the fuck does this smell remind me of a caterpillar? Like it took a while, like I don't. Like it was how green it was. I think it was darkest shit, but it's like how much green there was around. There was orchards off to the right side. I don't know what kind of trees they were, but I think that's probably why is like the last time I fucking was like playing with caterpillars as A kid was probably in an orchard in Georgia With that same fucking smell, or or caterpillars just have a smell and there was a little maybe, maybe there was orchards there's.

Speaker 1:

There's that, different areas of California like I said there was, there was a lot of orchards on the right side.

Speaker 2:

There's a whole lot of orchards out there.

Speaker 1:

But I don't like trying to so like. Why do I associate that smell with caterpillars?

Speaker 2:

because you're playing with caterpillars in an orchard.

Speaker 1:

Or caterpillars are the smell of an orchard.

Speaker 2:

Could be never know. Yeah, stuff has a smell Um that reminds me, though, when I lived in in still lived in Omaha there was one part of town we drive through, we drive past, and we'd go past the Kellogg's factory. Yeah, and it would smell like corn flakes. Pretty great, to be honest, because I was like Kellogg's corn flakes.

Speaker 1:

I'll read the little blurb about the any rings too, because I didn't does. Once October rolls around, there's one particular festival on everyone's mind. No, it's not October fest. That happens at September. So apparently we're just done.

Speaker 2:

Now, like I said, it starts in September, ends in October.

Speaker 1:

We're talking about the, the Weimar onion festival Originating back in 1653 as a way for locals to share their onions for winter. It's Germany's oldest folk festival, 157 years older than October fest. Today, over 300,000 annual attendees stock up on fresh onions, relish, relish, the famous, famous onion pie. I thought they were just fucking listened. Shit, they stocked up on cuz. It skipped a fucking line. Yeah and watch the crowning of the onion Queen. Open up this outrageously crunchy oniony yum and see what all the hype's about.

Speaker 2:

So yeah, I'd like to go to Germany, but I don't know if I want to go for a onion festival.

Speaker 1:

No, no, I mean if it happens to be around the same time, like if we're there for two weeks.

Speaker 2:

We can like catch October fest and onion fest.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, that'd be pretty good. So we'll try the lemon wafer bar next. It says crispy, crumbly and also lemony. Who doesn't love a squeeze of lemon on their schnitzel or a citrusy kick in the sauerkraut? Well, all the ways lemons are incorporated into their cuisine. You'd think Germany lemon orchards wouldn't. Would go on for miles, except they don't actually grow natively at all. That's why Germany is the second biggest importer of the citrus in the whole world, spending almost $375 million every year. Wow. And when you're making sweets like these crispy lemon wafers, we can understand why they're in such high demand. Also, none of these have High fructose corn syrup. I don't know, you don't know why, cuz they're not made here.

Speaker 2:

Yep, this has high fructose corn syrup.

Speaker 1:

Yeah.

Speaker 2:

Your glass of water does not.

Speaker 1:

I would hope not, I would really hope not too. Sorry for the crinkles again. No, we can't help it on the snack days. These are dents too. I like a dense wafer. You got the ones that are like the store, like the Walmart brand, of the store brand, and it's just like there isn't anything to it.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, it's just air.

Speaker 1:

That's. That's pretty fucking good. It's not overpowering lemon wise, which is one of my biggest issues with lemon stuff. I don't like getting hit in the face with fucking lemon.

Speaker 2:

I would like more lemon. I like lemon cake and all sorts of other lemon things.

Speaker 1:

I like it, but it has to be a good. A good like lemon to other flavor ratio. Like, if you get like the lemon tarts or whatever at fucking Walmart, that it's just like here's fucking lemon and you're like, was there any crust or bread or anything on that? Like, I like to be able to taste all of it.

Speaker 2:

Well, I've actually taken that little packet to lemon juice you could get at a KFC KFC and I've actually torn a corner off it and just drank that.

Speaker 1:

So but that's different because it's lemon juice. Lemon juice by itself is good, but the lemon flavor ratio.

Speaker 2:

You haven't seen the looks of people gave me when they saw me doing it. I was in school at the time and I happened to pick up a cup of water. I had it in my jacket pocket so I pulled one out and I drank it at work. I had it at school, I mean.

Speaker 1:

I just breathed in Instead of Well, I was trying to swallow and fucking breathe at the same time.

Speaker 2:

That's not good in the lungs.

Speaker 1:

Probably not Alright. So those were fucking good too. I could have been a little more lemony, but I like them. So now we have. You still want to leave the milk and honey caramels to last? Okay, so there's a suited A sordid sour fruit candy. If there's one thing to learn from Hansel and Gretel Is that you shouldn't judge a book by its cover or a house by its cakewalks.

Speaker 2:

Um, but um, that thing about not judging a book by its cover. The information about what the book's about Is usually somewhere on the cover, so I'm going to judge a book by its cover.

Speaker 1:

That's not how it used to be, but yes, I think that's also one of those sayings that there's more to it that everybody just fucking left out.

Speaker 2:

Yeah. Which Well it's kind of like the same We'll have time.

Speaker 1:

After this, we'll hit sayings have your cake and eat it, too, is actually supposed to be.

Speaker 2:

Eat your cake and have it too. If you have cake, you're going to fucking eat it.

Speaker 1:

So we'll pin in that, we'll sort of back around, we'll just hit fucking all kinds of different sayings and how they're misinterpreted. Sure, the sparkling sugar windows might seem super awesome, but we all know the witch on the other side was, well, not super awesome. Keep that in mind with this. Yum. It may look plain as you unwrap it, but one chew will reveal a succulent burst of Apple, passion fruit, black currant or grapefruit. They much, much better surprise than an evil witch, don't you think?

Speaker 2:

No, I don't know.

Speaker 1:

So I'm guessing Black currant is the Johannes baddie.

Speaker 2:

I just they referred to the witch as being evil. Okay, so she ate a few kids.

Speaker 1:

She's got to eat. Oh, so there's one of each flavor. Well shit, I mean I have scissors. Yeah but I think they're like starbursts. Yeah, I'm cutting them, fuck you.

Speaker 2:

Just tear it. No, no scissors.

Speaker 1:

Alright, so apple, apple, yeah, it's like a now and later. That hasn't been in the cupboard for Fuckin three years. That's really good, really good. I like it a lot. And then we'll do grapefruit. Do you want any of the grapefruit?

Speaker 2:

No, you can have the whole grapefruit. I'll just say I'm not looking forward to this. I don't like grapefruit.

Speaker 1:

Then what was this one? Those bastards. There's two grapefruits, so we're not going to get any of the passion fruit.

Speaker 2:

Well, fuck.

Speaker 1:

Do you want a whole grapefruit?

Speaker 2:

No, I didn't want half of it, I would have wanted a whole one.

Speaker 1:

That's pretty good, though it's not like biting into Grapefruit and it's like I remember once I bought these they had them all in it.

Speaker 2:

They came in this box of four little bottles.

Speaker 1:

With these juices there were tropicana juices. An appropriate amount of sweet for that grapefruit.

Speaker 2:

And I like three of the four. I remember I opened one up and I took a drink out of it and it was grapefruit. Oh my god, it was horrible.

Speaker 1:

This is the Johannes Beatty, which is a black currant. That's pretty good. Have you had squirt? Yes, you like it? Try it. It's grapefruit flavored. Just fucking eat this.

Speaker 2:

I've had black currant before, but it was in vodka.

Speaker 1:

Yeah.

Speaker 2:

Absolute currant All right, so now.

Speaker 1:

I wasn't going to save these till last, but I'll have them now. Straka Stratkietella bonbons One of Germany's most famous chocolates.

Speaker 2:

Dark chocolate and coconut right Mm-hmm.

Speaker 1:

We're in for a whole new world of flavor, and by that we mean Kugeln, the type of chocolate that translates to globe. While Kugeln are one of the most popular types of chocolate, this one is extra special Sweet. For starters, it hails from Germany's oldest chocolate factory, Holleren, which opened all the way back in 1804. That was a long time ago.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, and they are known for having good chocolate in Germany.

Speaker 1:

Secondly, it's by far the factory's most famous creation to date, cherished by sweet lovers all across the country. Third, its iconic spherical shape was designed to resemble the buttons on local salt miner's jackets. And lastly, it's filled with decadent Strakaietella, one of Germany's favorite flavors of gelato, filled with cream and chocolate flakes. Oh, so it's actually not coconut, it's like maybe a cookie doughy inside.

Speaker 2:

Sounds good.

Speaker 1:

Yeah so.

Speaker 2:

It's Kugel.

Speaker 1:

Yeah.

Speaker 2:

I can't remember. I feel like I've eaten Kugel before.

Speaker 1:

Chocolate shavings, water, cocoa butter, butter, invert sugar. That's to counteract the regular sugar.

Speaker 2:

That's good.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, it doesn't. It cancels each other out, you're fine.

Speaker 2:

That's good, no sugar.

Speaker 1:

How open there it is. Picture looks good. Oh dope. It kind of just peels up and it's a little chocolate box. That's fucking great. It says something about.

Speaker 2:

It doesn't look round.

Speaker 1:

Two per roundish.

Speaker 2:

It doesn't look spherical here Half two.

Speaker 1:

It says something about like two per something. Please, I'm shit, I don't remember. So let's see. Oh, the fucking holy shit. So it's that good. That is fucking outstanding. Outstanding it is. It's like. It's like cookie dough, but better, and the chocolate is fucking amazing.

Speaker 2:

Nailed it. Yeah, that's good, that's good.

Speaker 1:

Well, it's a good thing we have more left, because I'm going to eat more of those.

Speaker 2:

Yeah.

Speaker 1:

Holy shit, that is so fucking good. That would go perfect with like a coffee and espresso or like fucking I don't know.

Speaker 2:

It seems like there's a slight hint of coffee in that.

Speaker 1:

No, a little bit.

Speaker 2:

Very little.

Speaker 1:

Holy shit.

Speaker 2:

That's good.

Speaker 1:

That is fucking great. Here's your milk and honey.

Speaker 2:

But I do want to mention that I have paused the subscription. We're not going to get one for November, but we will get one for December.

Speaker 1:

You know country? No, okay, this one's a fucking winner. So Greece and Germany Find another country that starts with G. Let's go with that one. He has a happy cow in the front. So you know, you know what they say Happy cows come from California.

Speaker 2:

I think it was something about like good.

Speaker 1:

Good milk comes from happy cows, or fucking remember or something like that. Good milk comes from happy cows. Happy cows come from.

Speaker 2:

California Well.

Speaker 1:

I guess that'll go into the Sengs that we'll do in a minute. Oh yeah, it's kind of good Calm, calm caramel.

Speaker 2:

It's very um. The outside has got a little.

Speaker 1:

I was sure it was going to be tough and then it just like melted the inside just melted.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, the inside is just really soft.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, it's pretty good, but uh definitely want to want to have this flavor going. That is fucking amazing. So that is all of those are definitely fucking. What was this one called HALORIN COOGL KUG ELN? Fucking. Buy some, Because god damn.

Speaker 2:

We can actually order the stuff on individual things we like on this. Holy shit so we are recommending COOGL. It's dark chocolate, it's really good Strockia telebonbons. Dark chocolate Good.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, that is fucking. It is so good. It tastes even better almost with the caramel, like the caramel back in it. I grew up saying caramel and then decided I wanted to call it caramel instead and I, oh, like it's depends on the day which one I call it. See what I mean it tastes even better. Even better. It's fucking amazing.

Speaker 2:

I used to say caramel all the time and I would say it. And somebody one day was like it's caramel, Look how it's spelled. And I was like you know, he's right. And since then I've said caramel ever since. I get to have the transition to saying it wasn't even that difficult, I just jumped right into it.

Speaker 1:

And then this one just shows a couple of different, different hears and theirs. Notice yourself the German way lecker is tasty, es schmeckt schleckt. It tastes bad. Es ist so la la, that's so so. Or prost, Cheers, Prost, Prost, yeah.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, I like Germany. I liked what they did there In regards to the chocolate. I'm just trying the food.

Speaker 1:

Okay, I'm just trying the chocolate, the chocolate is the best.

Speaker 2:

The chocolate is the best.

Speaker 1:

But that one completely overhead, didn't it?

Speaker 2:

Yeah, I got it, I got it, I got it. I wanted to keep going where I was going, but on my mom's side of the family there's Germany. In my family.

Speaker 1:

Definitely same. I might actually try this one too, Because it has a recipe for breaded pork chops. They're called it's fine a coltelette, it's breaded pork chops.

Speaker 2:

And if you wanted to make that one day on the day that we record and you wanted to share it with me, I would not turn it down.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, and we'd have something to talk about on the pod. A couple spoons large fat blah, blah blah. Heat up, dredge the pork chops and the bread crumb mixture, then dip in the egg mixture and then more bread crumbs. So it's just a normal coating. But yeah, it's a fairly simple fucking recipe too Egg, egg, bread crumbs, salt and pork chops.

Speaker 2:

Sounds good.

Speaker 1:

And butter for frying.

Speaker 2:

I mean, I already got one thing I like.

Speaker 1:

Many locals will jazz up this recipe with a homemade onion or mushroom sauce. That would actually be pretty fucking good. Most traditional sides for this meal are sauerkraut and potato salad. I happen to have sauerkraut in my pantry. Do you like sauerkraut?

Speaker 2:

Not, really no.

Speaker 1:

Fine, that's fucking all for me then.

Speaker 2:

Smell.

Speaker 1:

Who cares? It tastes good. Okay, so on to the sayings.

Speaker 2:

So I was saying about the one about the cake and eating it too. If you have a cake, you can eat it, but if you eat your cake, you don't have it anymore. So that's why eat your cake and have it too.

Speaker 1:

Yeah.

Speaker 2:

So once you're done eating it, you still have the cake, but you can't do that. Obviously that's what they're saying it's supposed to be. It's gotten changed a lot.

Speaker 1:

Um text in the FU hold on. He's asking if I can play Fortnite. I'll be on it in like 25 minutes. Um, yeah, no, and that's that's almost how a lot of them are, though is like they get twisted or turned, or like a chunk out of the middle. Um, try to look up like most famous sayings, or what is what would those be? Like the cliche sayings?

Speaker 2:

I don't know, I just find a list of. I'm looking at mis-said sayings, okay. Um like um, well, it's not. We've heard this one and we've made jokes about it ever since. Uh, somebody saying, instead of being to be specific or specific, yeah, well, yeah that's one, one Pacific marker.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, that's, that's just people not knowing words.

Speaker 2:

I know that was the first thing I listed on here.

Speaker 1:

Let me see this one Misunderstood. Sayings and books that provide that prove the counterparts.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, these are all just mis-said things. I can escape. I'm just gonna escape, oh yeah.

Speaker 1:

That's, uh, recently, blah, blah, blah. Okay, so this is normally the one I think of first is blood is thicker than water, so the full saying is the blood of the covenant is thicker than the water of the womb. That means like the relationships that you find and make can be stronger than family because you chose them.

Speaker 2:

Yeah.

Speaker 1:

And like through thicker than or whatever. So yeah, chosen bonds are more significant than bonds with family. Blah, blah, blah. Books that prove the point. Curiosity killed the cat. The beginning of the quote is indeed, curiosity killed the cat, but the end brings a whole new meeting. While curiosity may have killed the cat, satisfaction brought it back.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, Like, do that part out.

Speaker 1:

There's the whole saying yeah, so rather than just yeah.

Speaker 1:

So rather than discouraging, rather than discouraging. Looking further into things, the quote is more saying than that the final satisfaction will be worth the trouble it takes to get there. And then a couple of books Great minds think alike. This one I've actually fucking is normally one of the ones like forever too. Great minds think alike. The original saying is as follows Great minds think alike, though fools seldom differ. So just because you funk, it, think the same as everybody else all the time. Oh, great minds think alike.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, well, it's like we mentioned on this podcast more than once People individually can be smart, but groups of people are dumb.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, a person is smart, people are dumb.

Speaker 2:

This one here. This one I don't like because it's it's first come, first serve and it says here this suggests that the first person to arrive has to serve all who follow when first serve. Come first serve means the first one to get, that they serve in the order of when people get there. So which first come first serve. Yeah, it says on here this suggests that the first person to arrive has to serve all who follow, but then it says that it actually really means that the that they serve people in the order that they arrive, which that's exactly the way people interpret that first come, first served.

Speaker 1:

There's actually a D on the end of that.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, there's not. But no, that does not mean you're serving everybody else. It means you go up. You're the first one there, you get served first.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, that's. People are dumb. Um, where's blah, blah, blah. What sayings are shortened and taken out of context. Let's see if this one has any extra ones. And that continue reading. No, you stupid. Fine, I'll go to this website. Ten famous phrases that don't mean what you think they do. Famous phrases. You might be getting wrong. The early bird gets the worm the extended phrase but the second mouse gets the cheese. If, if nobody understands what that means, it's because people would set mouse traps with cheese on it. Yeah, so the first mouse would be fucking dead.

Speaker 1:

And the second one would get the cheese. Yes, so it's not always the best being the first is what they're saying.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, that first mouse. He's probably not happy, but, um, one of the ones I just saw it had to do with uh I, I could care less. Which it should be? I couldn't care less.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, well, there's. There's a lot of those like yeah that are just misunderstood idioms. I think is a proper term and like how the grammatical function of all of it works. It's not. It's not a super common thing. Um carpet DM sees the day. It's actually not the full saying this one doesn't.

Speaker 2:

I've actually looked on one up recently.

Speaker 1:

This one doesn't change the meaning of it at all, but uh, the full extended phrase is carpet DM. Quam minimum credula pastero. It's not a Harry Potter spell. It says sees the day, but very little trust in tomorrow. So it basically just like reinforces the first part Um winning isn't everything. There's an extended phrase Wasn't winning isn't everything. That's the only thing.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, I've heard that before.

Speaker 1:

I've never heard that one. Um, now is the winter of our discontent.

Speaker 2:

Shakespeare.

Speaker 1:

Okay, um, the extended phrase now is the winter of our discontent, made glorious summer by the son of York. I would have. Yeah, I can gather the Shakespeare from that. Yeah, uh, curiosity killed the cat. We already did that one. Great minds think alike. I already did that one. Blood's taking a water I already did that one. The root of all evil. The extended phrase for the love of money is the root of all kinds of evils, which isn't that what?

Speaker 2:

No.

Speaker 1:

I mean, it does change it a little bit because it's money, doesn't? Money isn't actually evil. No, like, you need money to fucking buy food and you need money to buy housing. You need money to this, you need money to that. It's like money itself isn't the fucking root of all evil. You can do a lot of good with money. Yeah, to fucking to quote a Lunar to Caprio and Wolf of Wall Street, you could save the fucking spotted owls with money. Yeah, you could, like donate to your favorite charities. You can fucking do this, you do that, but that's what you do with. What they're saying is the love of money which I don't even know that I agree with that is the root of all kinds of evils. Like, you can love money and like the ability to do everything with it, but it's just like you said. It's the fucking attitude and the demeanor behind it.

Speaker 2:

I had an argument with somebody at work one day and it was about technology and he was anti technology. I'm like, no, that's, that's backwards thinking. Technology can be a great thing.

Speaker 1:

Yeah.

Speaker 2:

And he's talking and then by the end of the conversation I let him know. You know it's what you do with technology.

Speaker 1:

Yeah.

Speaker 2:

You can do great things with technology or you can do awful things with technology. Technology itself by itself is not, it's just a good or?

Speaker 1:

bad. It's just a vehicle, that's it, just like everything else. I've actually heard this one many times Jack of all trades, yeah, so Jack of all trades, master of none, is normally where people stop, so the extended phrase is Jack of all trades, master of none, though oftentimes better than master of one.

Speaker 2:

Oh, I like that.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, because it's. You know how to do a little bit of a lot of things. Yeah, like say you're a plumber, like you can only do plumbing. You don't know how to do drywall, you don't know how to do electricity, you don't know how to do anything, anything else, no, car shit, nothing at all. Oops, nothing at all. You're a plumber. How would that?

Speaker 1:

you plumb like you can. You can make money doing that. But then like maybe you have a lot of other issues or trying to teach people shit or you're trying to do whatever you can't cuz you don't know fucking anything. But if you have somebody that knows a little bit about plumbing like I can fix the fucking train under the sink, I Can do a drywall patch yeah, I've hung drywall before I've painted. I can fix cars. I can do maybe a little bit of carpentry. You won't look the best, but it can probably function. Yeah, like you can do a little bit of this, little bit of this over this. I would take that Over.

Speaker 2:

I know how to do this one thing really fucking well when I was doing steelwork and we're doing the pools, we used to joke about the plumbers because first of all, they would always get in a way. But the pools obviously need plumbing and we joke oh, you can put pipes together.

Speaker 1:

This one. I don't know if I've heard my country writer wrong. Have you heard that one?

Speaker 2:

Sure, I don't think so.

Speaker 1:

Apparently it's a direct quote from Carl Shers, an American senator in 1872. So that's the short version. My country writer wrong. All right the extended phrase. My country writer wrong if right to be kept right and if wrong to be set right. But makes that makes sense. I like that. Yeah, oh, I've never heard anybody fucking use that but I like the whole thing.

Speaker 2:

I don't like just to be anything.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, I.

Speaker 2:

Back it. Right or wrong, I don't care. But no, if you can set something wrong, right. That seems to be the way to go.

Speaker 1:

Yeah.

Speaker 2:

Which we could, you know, stand to have that senator around today. I.

Speaker 1:

Don't mean he would only be barely older than the fucking people in there. Yeah, so I mean that would be fine.

Speaker 2:

I mean he'd be a junior senator. I'm a junior congressman to. Pelosi being there, give him some of that fucking Pelosi pizza gate juice and He'd be maybe like I'm just saying his, his thinking on that might be oh yeah, you know so many with that kind of thought might be good instead of somebody who's like. What can the lobbyists give me?

Speaker 1:

Oh yeah, but no, I'm saying that like the whatever's keeping them alive. Yeah, just drop some of that on on him now and he might wake up.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, I might bring him back like he might look like he was straight out of the mummy, but it might even rejuvenate, like he might even look young, yeah, I mean, um, although Pelosi does look like something out of the other mommy.

Speaker 1:

Oh yeah, she looks like a leather fucking purse, bro she looks like after MOT have stuck the life out of them to regain himself. It's absolutely for sure, yeah. But still animated the ones and have you seen Bill Clinton recently? It looks like Hillary's been sucking the life out of him and not the way Monica did no, he's not enjoying it.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, he looks fucking horrible speaking of emo tap, though, did that? There was an actual emo tap and they found some of his, some stuff about him, and If things had happened differently and people looked in like he had ideas for medicine that we, that we weren't doing? Two years later this guy was well advanced. He was not some evil I Don't know why they made him evil in the movie, but he uh, right now doctors take the Hippocratic oath. If they would have found his stuff before that we, they might have been taking the emo tip oath right now instead of the Hippocratic oath. I'm serious. I watched the whole show about it and it's crazy, some of the stuff I get this he was talking about cleaning shit back then. Huh, I keep in the airy clean around the patient so they don't get sick. That was him Long before any of us ever did that, like during the Civil War, when they would Amputate something, they might wipe the blade off on their, on their smock, yeah.

Speaker 2:

Spits shine yeah, and they would. They would amputate a lot back.

Speaker 1:

Oh yeah, a lot, a lot like they would be.

Speaker 2:

They wouldn't have time to do anything. They would cut it and throw it out the door. Yeah, be a pile of limbs right outside of the surgical area.

Speaker 1:

Yeah.

Speaker 2:

That makes me want to go visit um Gettysburg and see all the hauntings around there, because it's supposed to be one of the most haunted places.

Speaker 1:

Just a bunch of.

Speaker 2:

Cousins everywhere, in the houses everywhere.

Speaker 1:

Which was the hand? Is that cousin it?

Speaker 2:

Oh, yeah, yeah, I think so.

Speaker 1:

There's just a bunch of cousin.

Speaker 2:

It's running around fucking Arms, just fucking go in legs, just fucking hopping around Like an inspector gadget in the boot looking for the body, the foot just kicking around, yeah and since you know I mean there there's sanitation things the person might have died not had died then, but they were dying after that. Oh, yeah, like if they got shot in a limb, they were most likely losing the limb.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, they normally died from a bunch of color, a gang of green.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, but now that I, uh, I happened to be listening to something and they were talking about, they were, um, it was more about the, uh, the haunting, but they talked about what led to like it was a bloodiest battle in us history. So many people died in there.

Speaker 1:

Yeah.

Speaker 2:

And yeah, so that's why they say it's plus, if you go around there you can find, like I've seen where people have found uh, help buckles from like soldiers.

Speaker 1:

Yeah.

Speaker 2:

I'm guessing they picked over that pretty good. I'm guessing you're not gonna find a nice uh Union sword or anything.

Speaker 1:

I mean, I mean, you could yeah. So do. Do you have to have like a license to do archaeology? You know, because to become like to go from grave robbing to archaeology, I think it only has to be like 60 years or 80 years, which is a very fucking short time. Yeah, but do you have to have a license? That's one thing.

Speaker 2:

When I was growing up and I used to see shows. I don't know if you have to have a license, but yeah, like if you go to a country you have to have permission.

Speaker 1:

Well, yeah.

Speaker 2:

But um, like I used to watch, so we're we're here.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, we have permission to be here. Yeah, because we're citizens here. We're citizens here. So if you can, we just go like 80 year grave hunting.

Speaker 2:

I was gonna say, if you go to a cemetery and start digging things up, people might have problems.

Speaker 1:

I'll put on an Indiana Jones hat. I'm fine with that.

Speaker 2:

Oh, that's, all right then.

Speaker 1:

Okay.

Speaker 2:

You're a bullwhip though.

Speaker 1:

I'm fine with that too. I might even get the same scar.

Speaker 2:

I think that's honest. Yeah, but, um, but I, when I was growing up, I used to always wonder because it would show them They'd be, you know, checking out the, the pyramids and stuff and they'd be digging through and they'd be looking through different things. They'd be yeah, we're not finding much, because all these grave robbers. And I always thought, well, what makes them other archaeologists? Like what makes them grave robbers and not you?

Speaker 1:

Yeah.

Speaker 2:

You know, because you're doing the same shit, you're pulling the shit out.

Speaker 1:

I'm pretty sure you don't know why? It's because, like this, whatever school, cambridge paid for me to go, so I'm an archaeologist. Anybody else that was like privately funded or a school of lesser Stature yeah, well, are gonna be grave robbers.

Speaker 2:

Well, the grave robbers, they went and they found it and they sold it for profit.

Speaker 1:

Yeah.

Speaker 2:

Um archaeologists go and they find it, and then they get paid for it and it goes to a museum either way, which gets shown. For a money, for a profit.

Speaker 1:

Yes, so either way it gets fucking sold for profit. Either way it's probably gonna end up in a museum or in some collector's piece that is gonna be shared with fucking his friends or whatever. Super wealthy this that who cares? Yeah, yep.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, I've always wondered that I was gonna ask about it school one day, but I never did.

Speaker 1:

We look it up, maybe talk about it next time.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, but I'm sure the teacher would have, because I asked a lot of questions that made them scratch their head. That's just me.

Speaker 1:

Um, we're about an hour. I'm good. Yeah, anything else in there? No, well, I will mention.

Speaker 2:

There is one thing I saw that I found interesting. I put notes on it about this. These notes I literally took directly from the, from the article yeah, it says californias. Californians with untreated mental illness and addiction issues could be detained against their will and forced into treatment under new law signed by governor nuesome.

Speaker 1:

Holy shit.

Speaker 2:

Yeah.

Speaker 1:

So who's did it say? Read that again.

Speaker 2:

It says, californians with untreated medical mental issues, illnesses and addiction issues could be detained against their will and forced into treatment under the new law signed by governor nuesome. So I have a lot of it is gonna have to do with homeless, because now they're acknowledging that they have a homelessness crisis in california.

Speaker 1:

I actually, I actually just saw a video that new york is actually realizing that they're having An immigration issue, because every like texas and florida sent a busload to the people that are hopping the border. Yeah, to new york, because they're like we want them. They're like no, absolutely not. Like we are fucking, we are full, we can't take anymore. If anything else happens, new york could be ruined. Like they're changing. They're changing their minds a lot. Yeah, like so cali, I don't think is there on on that portion yet, but we have, like I would. I would assume it has a lot to do with homeless, but that's, that's because prisons are for profit. Yeah, like, like it's a privatized industry and the more people they have in there, the more they get paid but forced into treatment.

Speaker 1:

Yeah. So that's where the concern is is who determines Mental illness? Yeah, like, technically, depression is a mental illness, like, even if you have. Like I'm sad most days Like how they fill out these, how they ask these fucking questions, because it's Like the kooky side of me, it's all like big pharma wanting to sell shit. So if you want everybody to fucking take medicine, what do you want? You want everybody's be sick. If you want everybody to be sick, you ask questions that make everybody think they're sick. Yes, so you have a questionnaire that reads a certain way that, like anybody Can fucking answer that has, like they might be the happiest fucking person in the world. Are you sad sometimes when you wake up? Yeah, I am. Do you ever think about like that you're lonely? Do you ever think that, like, maybe this person doesn't? Do you ever like there's your prescription. A lot of them are just normal shit and then now you have a mental illness. But who's? Who's the one making this fucking call?

Speaker 2:

Well, also part of it makes me think that After people get taken off the street and they're put into these places for their treatment, they're no longer Homeless on the street. Yeah so then later, when you're running for a higher office, you can say see, I don't have.

Speaker 1:

Yes, yeah, for sure, and that's I'm sure, that's how news I'm gonna frame it, because he's Fucking horrible when you hear him say that in a speech, in a debate, remember that remember the simpsons? I mean, we did it first.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, but I saw that article. I get a lot of that's fucking wild these news stories that pop up and some of them I'm like they just remind me how horrible people can be. I just saw a blurb pop up. I didn't read the article. Today this guy killed his two-year-old baby, killed it for two months old.

Speaker 1:

Oh, I was gonna say get away, yeah. No, that's, it's fucking awful. So that's uh, the land before time, the voice of, I want to say ducky, from the land before time to the land before time to. I think it was only like two years. Okay, they had to get a different voice actor because the little kid that voiced ducky, the kid's dad killed the kid damn. Yeah, so like there's some fucking awful people.

Speaker 2:

But then there was this kid who was really young I can't remember some place we come age between 12 and 14. You might have been 14. Um, stabbed his mother multiple times and in her bed, across from where the her baby was in the crib, and they're debating on whether they need to. Uh, uh, try him as an adult or the child was he? It was you, either, I think it was 14. Oh, maybe 12, I don't know somewhere in there. But he stabbed the mother multiple times and they kept saying in the article in front of the baby Uh, the baby might not even been paying attention. You don't know what babies are fucking doing. Yeah, maybe could have the head, could have been facing the other way, doesn't know what's going on. And even if it did see, does it know what's doing? What's happening?

Speaker 1:

I was gonna say, like I know, I know a lot of like childhood, this. This is gonna fucking draw out so long. Make note of this. We'll talk about this next time too. Yeah all right um Go buy some of this chocolate. It's fucking amazing.
