And me, Stephanie.
And it is a very cold Wednesday night.
So cold outside and it's raining as well.
Yeah.
Which makes it all soggy and gross.
Well, it's been raining all day and all day of yesterday too.
I like rain, to be honest.
We shouldn't be surprised.
It's Oregon.
That is true.
I think for the people that live in Oregon and Washington
State, we have a lot of experience with unnecessary rain.
I did get to test out my new jacket I got for Christmas.
Oh yeah?
It's Portland gear.
Fancy.
I have a lot of Portland gear stuff if you so choose to be a sponsor.
Wink, wink.
Yeah, hit us up.
For sure.
Local company.
They make some amazing stuff that's built for the rain.
But Lindsay actually for Christmas bought me their, the jacket.
It's a Cloudburst jacket, I believe, in their new
color chocolate, which is very chocolatey looking.
It does not smell like chocolate.
And don't bother licking it because it doesn't taste like it either.
They should make that so it smells like chocolate.
Not that it tastes like chocolate because they're animals.
You know what it does do?
What?
It repels the rain.
Oh, so it's homophobic.
Fuck, hydrophobic.
Hydrophobic.
Yeah, not, no.
It's totally cool with being worn by a queer person because I did it today.
That is true.
I did.
And it also has a super deep hood.
It doesn't have the little pull strings, but when
you pop it up over your head, it will cover your...
Look, it's so cool.
...faces.
Like it'll keep your glasses...
Nothing annoys me more about my Colombia.
Fuck you Colombia, sorry.
What?
Yeah.
Colombia is on the BDS list, which was really disappointing to find out.
For those who don't know what the BDS list is, it's Boycott, Divest, and Sanction.
Boycott!
Divest and Sanction.
Oh!
It's to stop the State of Israel from doing what
they've been doing for the past 100 years now.
Which is... everything.
So it's the, we hate murdering people and making things shitty list.
It's the, we hate colonizers kind of thing.
Well, I mean, we are colonizers, so... I know, and I hate us too.
Well, me too.
Uh, the thing... What are you gonna do?
What are you... you need to talk about that.
What are you gonna do?
Um, I mean... yeah.
I think the only thing that we can really do, and I think that a lot of...
even Native people would understand, is learning...
Oh, a hundred percent.
Yeah.
If we can't give back the land, at least know what we did, what our
ancestors did, understand the atrocities that happened.
Oh my god, it was so bad.
It's still so bad.
Yeah.
Also, Christopher Columbus, fucking moron.
Not a... not a... what's the... not a discoverer or... Yeah, he didn't discover shit.
No, he just... he landed at the wrong spot.
He found a place.
And then went, oh look, brown people.
He thought he was in India.
Right.
So, he thought he had made his way to Asia.
Right.
But, no.
No, no.
That's why they're... that's why they're called Indians.
Oh, exactly.
Yeah.
Just... Which, I'm glad we're stepping away from calling them... Poor navigation.
...Indians.
I know.
They're Native Americans.
Right.
That's what they are.
Hey, yeah.
I mean, I feel like I... I don't want to get kicked out of our house, but,
like, if this portion of land was owned... settled by Native Americans... Absolutely.
...before, they should have rights to this portion of land.
I think what we... not what we've done, because we've fucked over the Native
population, even when we did give them land back... So much.
...we still gave them land in the middle of nowhere.
We gave them shitty land.
We gave them shitty land.
Like, oh, look, would you like some desert?
Yeah.
Here you go.
I have been on a total of one Native reserve, and that was about it.
Warm Springs?
Huh?
Warm Springs?
Warm Springs?
I think so.
Yeah.
I can't... it was a long time ago, so... Oh, yeah.
...I can't...
That's where we were... well, you wouldn't
remember it, because you were a baby, but... yeah.
Yeah.
Um, no, I've been on one more, since whatever you're thinking of.
Uh, when we went down to... well, technically... when we would go to the
campgrounds, there's Native land over there.
Which campground?
Um, the... Fort Stevens, I think?
There's Native land at Fort Stevens.
Oh, I'm sure there is.
Yeah.
There... just to be clear, there's Native land everywhere on the state of Oregon.
Well, the state of Oregon is, I think, the second biggest land give-back in the U .S.
No, I hope so.
...that has given land back.
I hope so.
Um, that and Wisconsin, because that's where a lot of... well, I think it's Cherokee?
Oklahoma should be one of the biggest... Yeah.
...it should.
Well, Oklahoma... I don't know why anyone would want to live there.
Yeah, that's a good point.
Um, I think the middle of the U.S., I'm like,
where the fuck would you want to be there?
Uh, that's why they call them flyover states.
Yeah.
Um... Because they... they are lovely.
They are very beautiful.
I have been across those states by... not airplane.
I've driven across, I rode across.
My friend, uh, my bestie... Kyle.
...drove.
But they are beautiful states, but there is not shit in any of those states.
Most of the states that we're thinking of are basically just rock.
It's just rock.
I mean, there's a lot of green, too.
Rock and dirt.
But that's it.
That's pretty much it.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Um, it's been... I went to school with, uh, someone
who was Native and lived on a Native, uh, reserve.
Yeah.
I forget their name, but they had beautiful hair.
Um... Oh my gosh.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Um... Um...
No, I actually... Sorry, go ahead.
He was a dick.
Oh.
But...
Beautiful hair.
He gets a little leeway.
Because, you know... I don't know.
...what we did to them.
Uh, I mean, does it really make up for it?
No, not necessarily, but...
Because you... you should not be a dick anyway.
Even how pretty your hair is, it doesn't matter.
Mm-hmm.
And the thing is, is that, um, he, like, came with...
he would wear a lot of, uh, clothing made... Mm-hmm.
...on Native land.
Nice.
And I was like, I really want some of that, but that's not for me.
No, it's not for you.
You're way too white.
Yeah.
So, do you know that I... my cousins... are they my cousins or my second cousins?
Um, my great aunt is married to a 100% Native American person.
Yeah.
That's pretty cool.
My favorite aunt.
Oh, is she still alive?
Aunt Carrie, yeah.
Have I met Aunt Carrie?
Uh, no.
Not... no, huh?
You should.
Yeah.
So, my cousin, Jane, uh, the one that her husband sent me the, uh, petrified wood.
Oh.
Yeah.
Okay.
Yeah, so I do know this.
So, her and her siblings are all half, uh, Native.
Half Native.
Yeah.
That's really cool.
I used to tease her and... and say inappropriate things that I'm not gonna
repeat here, but she was totally fine with it.
Like, she didn't hate me for teasing her about it.
Yeah.
Cause she said it too.
And... and it's not like... it's not like, uh, you know, the N-word that you...
that one friend can say, but the others can't.
Oh, yeah, of course.
I assumed that.
Yeah, no.
But it was probably, like, the, um, terms for...
So, like, the Washington, uh, football team used to be... Oh, okay.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Okay.
Yeah.
Yeah.
So, I think everyone knows what it is.
Yeah.
I know what it is.
Yeah.
Um, and... But...
I actually didn't know that was racist until they changed the name.
Oh, I know.
But, see, I can say it because it's my cousin.
Yeah.
So... That's fine.
You can't say it.
It's your third cousin or something.
The... the thing is, is that I don't understand it.
Because have you ever seen a Native that has any sort of red skin?
Well, being, uh, like a summertime... Uh, yeah.
Brown person.
Yeah, but they're...
It was not bright red, but it... it's... it resembled a, uh, yes, it was a lot
redder than... Look at all of the white people during the summer.
Oh, my God.
They are more than... 110% white people.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah.
They're totally red.
Yeah.
For sure.
When I look at someone who may have some sort of mixed skin... Mm-hmm.
...skin color... Yeah.
...I'm not like... You look red.
I'm like... Oh, no.
They look so much better than any white person ever.
I hope you have sunscreen on, because you're not immune to skin cancer.
Oh, that would be all of us white people.
Yeah.
We are definitely not immune to skin cancer.
I... the thing is, is when I turned... when I got into my teens... Uh-huh.
...um, I stopped really, um, exposing all of my skin to the sun, because I became
more aware over... And then you stopped going out during the day... daylight hours.
Yeah.
I'm a little... little slug.
Part of that.
Because I hate crimes.
Oh, my gosh.
So, um...
I'm off the... off the subject, but... Because I tried.
...um, we had a patient that we, uh, transported a couple of weeks ago.
And he was so fucking funny.
He was teasing us about not going out during the daytime hours.
And he goes, uh, oh, so you're Dracula's bitch.
And as we're taking him out of the back of the ambulance, I went, no, he's ours.
Aww.
And I thought he was gonna fall off of the stretcher.
He was laughing so hard.
And when we picked him up, he was really upset.
Like, he was not happy.
He did not feel good about anything.
And, um, by the time we... Like, he was, like, high-fiving us.
Uh, and he said, uh, something about...
When we were getting ready to leave, he was like, I know you're Dracula's bitch.
I hope you be mine.
And I was like, yeah, only you.
Yeah.
And not Dracula.
And so, it was a great experience.
And it was...
It felt good because he was so unhappy when we went to pick him up.
And it was... It was...
I just, off the cuff, was like, mm-mm, no, we're nobody's bitch.
He can be ours.
Yeah.
I think that's the best part about your job, in my opinion, is that you will pick
up people who have had to deal with the
healthcare system, which in the US isn't the best.
And it's the worst part is that they're sick.
Mm-hmm.
And then they have to deal with that bullshit.
Yeah.
But at least they have someone who is somewhat funny.
I try to be.
Yeah.
I...
I'd say I don't try to be funny because I found
that when I try to be funny, I just am annoying.
So, I try to... You're annoying anyway.
Anyway.
So...
Dick.
I don't try to be funny.
I... You just... I am... I just try to be me.
Yeah.
And I think that's what everyone should strive to be.
No shit.
Just be yourself around everybody.
I am a whore.
I am a whore.
I try to be the whole lot funnier when I don't try to be funny.
Yeah.
Absolutely.
But I let my guard down and I don't behave honestly, sadly.
I have to admit this.
I don't behave appropriately, but I behave honestly.
And I think that's what a lot of people are totally cool with.
They're down for it because I'm not trying to be super smart.
I'm not trying to be super proper.
Mm-hmm.
I'm just being me.
And I'm going to be honest, that's going to get me in trouble one of these days.
Oh, absolutely.
Yeah, it will.
I have no real filter.
Like, I will, in public, just cuss.
I'll just... because I just don't really see the reason.
Well, there are some people...
Yeah, sorry.
That it just... it really hurts their feelings.
Like, they were not raised around someone that cusses.
Because they find it very inappropriate, very hurtful for whatever.
It's so sinful.
And I try to be polite until they drop the first F-bomb.
And then it's like, oh, yeah, we doing this now.
It's okay.
I can say shit or hell or damn or whatever.
And I don't say cunt around a lot of people.
I love that fucking word.
I just think cunt is so visceral.
Visceral.
Excuse you, I'm going to bark.
Somebody else thought it, too.
I think if you are behaving so badly...
Cunt, you're such a cunt.
You're such a fucking cunt.
It's like beyond asshole.
It's beyond jackass.
It's like, if you behave that way, you deserve it.
I'm going to say it.
I... Cunt.
There's only a few group of people that I self-sacrifice.
And that is one, children, which I'm not normally around.
Sure.
But every once in a while, I... Well, they're shitty.
That's why, you know, when you're hanging around them.
But every once in a while, I do have to be around some child.
And I...
Sometimes I'll do the...
What the...
It's crap.
What the... Oh, for fudge cake's sake.
Yeah.
Also... Grandma.
I was just about to say, older people.
Yeah.
And I only...
I'm going to be honest.
I don't do it as much as around grandma anymore.
Because she doesn't really care.
Because we're both adults.
Grandma could cuss.
She does.
If she wants to.
She does.
I feel like your dad's wife's family, when you are around them, they are very,
very kind people.
Super nice.
Yeah.
But you don't have to go hang out with them if you don't want to.
I don't.
I don't.
I...
Nothing makes me feel worse about the...
The whole thing with my dad is that I don't get to see them.
Right.
And... They're wonderful people.
I really enjoy a few people.
Not the really old people, but the 40 to 50 year olds and younger.
Well, his wife's sister and her family, I feel like, is who you're talking about.
I love them.
I will...
Emma, Ryan, Charlene.
I mean, y'all are great.
Oh, we're saying names now, huh?
Doesn't matter.
They are super cool people.
Don't even share our last name.
But, yeah, no, they're family, though.
Like, they're even the extended portions of their family.
Like, their mom and dad are wonderful people.
They're just a little old school.
And that doesn't make it bad.
But...
And he's...
I'm talking about the grandpa, the dad.
Yeah.
The older man.
Yeah.
He's a creationist.
Yeah.
Well, he's a pastor, right?
I think he... No, he was.
He was.
No, he was a teacher at a religious school.
Oh, okay.
So, technically, he was a preacher, pastor kind of guy.
And I think maybe at some point in his life, he did
preach because he has that kind of feeling about him.
Well, a lot of teachers have that sort of...
Especially older teachers.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
One of my favorite teachers is older.
Now, I won't say the name because, you know, but one of my favorite teachers.
..
Oh, wait, I can say her first name.
Renee.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Now... Which, hopefully, she's listening to this.
I hope so.
Sorry about the language.
We're so fucking sorry.
I messaged her a few years ago.
And just in case you're new to the show, I drink either before...
Or during this show.
And I am not drinking now because I'm going to go to bed soon.
I thought that she was.
I was not drinking.
But I have been drinking since about 2 p .m.
And now it's...
That's a lot later than 2 p.m.
9.01 p.m.
We were actually going to record this video on Sunday.
And we didn't end up doing that.
No.
You slept off your work hours.
Yeah.
See, the thing is, when I work...
I...
Because I work overnight shifts.
And so on my first day off, I sleep.
And thankfully, no one wakes me up.
We don't try to.
No.
Because I think they have been warned plenty of times to not...
Don't fucking wake me up.
I'm fucking tired.
And then Monday, we were going to do the thing.
And then I went to bed early.
And then Tuesday was yesterday.
I don't remember what was going on yesterday.
No.
What was the day where you fell asleep on the bench when we were about to record?
Oh, that was Monday.
Yeah.
So on Monday, we were actually going to record.
And I set everything up.
Yeah.
And I was having some issues because I switched laptops to a Windows-based one.
And I was having issues with the microphones because Windows muted them and
didn't tell me that.
And I got everything set up.
And then I basically had to put everything away.
Because I had a couple of wobbly pops.
And I was a little frustrated.
I know.
But I didn't want to make you feel bad.
I appreciate that, too.
I'm sorry about that.
It's okay.
It happens.
I was only frustrated because I had just spent,
I think, 30 minutes trying to fix the issue.
And once I was like, finally, I'm ready.
I'm ready.
Let's get this done with.
And I had tipped over on the bench where we have been recording.
And I was so fucking comfortable.
I was so happy.
Well, you had said, I'm just going to lay down, but I'm not going to fall asleep.
Yeah, I was lying.
Well, I knew you were lying.
Yeah, sorry about that.
Oh, because immediately you were going...
Yeah.
So, yeah, that happens, you know.
It do happen.
If I did that, I wouldn't because I have back problems.
And I'm not going to fucking lay on this.
Plus, you're a lot taller than me.
So, it would be very uncomfortable.
I think I only had to put my feet up.
I mean, like, I'm not four feet tall, but... She's three feet.
I'm five feet.
Three.
I'm 5'11", which doesn't seem very tall when you think of tall people.
I'm 5'3 1⁄2".
I mean, unless you measure me.
First of all, when you have to say your height in halves, go to baby jail.
It totally counts.
You know, fuck you.
Fuck you, too.
It totally counts.
Ow!
My body!
My body!
So if you have not watched the video of... what's his name?
Keegan Tyndale.
I'll put him down in the description.
Please!
Amazing comedian.
The Grandpa Piñata.
We talk about that constantly.
And I actually... Auntie Kyla was over here right around Christmas.
And I had mentioned, ow, my body.
And I had her watch it, too.
And I believe by the time she stopped visiting, or when she was ready to leave
or visit with me, us, she was saying, ow, my body.
Ow, my body.
I actually want to pull that video up.
And play it on broadcast.
Can you?
I can.
Is it... it's not, like, we aren't going to get in trouble with it?
He's probably not going to claim that.
Would it be awesome if he saw us?
If he saw it.
Or listened to us?
It would be really awesome if he saw it being a podcast.
Hey, Keegan, if you want to come on the show... Please!
Oh, make me a cartoon!
Oh, yeah.
I'm already... Make me out of paper and call me Stinky.
Oh!
I'll leave a wet spot somewhere.
Ew.
You haven't seen that one.
I have not.
That was gross.
I showed you.
Gibi.
Gibi left it pissed on the floor.
And he's like, Gibi don't want to talk about wet spot.
I think I might have been drunk when you showed me that one.
I'm sorry about that.
It's alright.
We're going to take a quick break and I'm
going to pull that video up in just a second.
Alright.
Enjoy the music.
Get it going!
Welcome back.
We have the clip.
I was going to play it on the computer.
But, you know, issues, so I was going to play it on the phone right now.
Okay, here we go.
Grandpa, go back in your room.
But I want to do a piñata.
We don't have a piñata.
Go.
I made a piñata.
Hi.
Can you get me out of this?
That's a little garden gnome you tied up.
You can't hit that.
Actually, my insides are all candy, La Cucaracha.
Why did you just say La Cucaracha?
I don't know.
I'm trying to be funny.
Shut up, piñata.
Ow, my body.
Grandpa, stop hitting the gnome, please.
Okay.
Fucking old bastard.
What did you say?
Nothing.
Check your ears, guys.
Grandpa, it's not even your birthday.
You don't just get piñatas.
I'm not a piñata.
You just want this old man to rot in his room.
No birthday activities.
Okay, maybe we'll recapture and do this on your birthday, then.
What?
Can I at least have some of my cake?
I'm not cake.
That's what all desserts say.
Desserts do not say that.
Little alive guys who aren't food say that.
Then explain why did I just have a full plate of cookies that yelled the whole time?
That was my friend, Bill.
Oh, man, he ate Bill.
Grandpa, you had a little gnome named Bill?
Bill was so good.
All right.
Well, if there's ever a time to put a man in a home... it's Now.
Fine, I'll stop eating fairy-tale creatures.
And untie them.
Why?
Because it's wrong.
I love that.
Because it's wrong.
Because it's wrong.
Ow, my body.
Ow, my body.
So, we... Sydney, one of our dogs, who you've seen.
We do that because the face she makes looks like she would say that.
Ow, my body.
Let's talk about yesterday with her.
Oh, my lord.
Yeah.
She was high as a kite.
She got... She has to go... She had to go to the vet.
Just... And honestly, there was nothing wrong with her.
She just had to go finish up her half-yearly visit
because she couldn't sit still long enough to get it done.
So, she has a lot of anxiety going to the vet.
So, we drugged her with Alprazolam and she was high as a kite.
I think she gets stressed out about...
I think she gets stressed out about the vet because
when she thinks vet, she thinks severe pain.
Pain.
Because she... She has... She...
I don't know if you guys have heard, but she got hit by a car before we owned.
..
We owned her before she lived at our house and we became her...
Her staff.
I think we talked about that in episode three
when we were talking about all the dogs.
Possibly.
So, if you want to know more about that, go to episode
three or look for the episode where we talk about the dogs.
Great episode two.
There was a lot we had to cut out in that episode, especially at the end where we
had some heartfelt conversations that we ended up completely removing.
I was crying.
They were extremely personal.
Yeah.
And I was like, do you want me to put that in?
I think that was two.
I think that was episode two.
I think episode three was here at the table.
No.
Episode four was here at the table.
Four?
Yeah.
Oh, I'm behind an episode.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Let's actually check.
Let's go to Apple Podcasts and let's pick up the beautiful, beautiful...
Let's get sidetracked.
It is beautiful, isn't it?
I love the logo.
I think that's one of the best logos.
You only said it was a beautiful, beautiful podcast.
You didn't say the logo.
Okay.
Well, fuck you.
We talked about it in...
It seems like we talked about it in episode...
I think episode three.
We will always talk about Sydney because she is such a pain in the ass.
But she is a huge part of our family.
And she came to us in 2020, right?
2020?
She was our... In October.
In October of 2020.
Right.
And yes, it was in episode three.
Okay.
Yeah.
She's our COVID dog.
And she gets really offended if you pretend to sneeze around her.
Or just pretend to do anything.
Oh, pretty much.
Oh, she hates whispering.
But she's half whiskey.
No, I'm half whiskey at this point.
That is true.
She's half husky, half German Shepherd, and a whole
bunch of little dogs and other kind of little animals.
Anyway.
Speaking of whiskey, we had some apple cider from Christmas.
And it started to balloon in the bottle.
So I opened it up to relieve pressure.
This was non-alcoholic, by the way.
Non-alcoholic.
And it smelled like some real, real sour whiskey.
Yup.
And it made me sneeze, honestly.
Nice.
Pretty bad.
And yeah, Sydney's a great dog.
We love her.
She's so full of shit.
But we... Back to her being high as a kite.
Oh, yes.
Yes.
We got sidetracked, of course.
Did we get sidetracked?
Yeah, we did.
Okay.
So yeah, we had to drug her so she could go to the vet.
And maybe somebody, I'm not going to name names, gave her only one.
And then proceeded to give her two more because she realized that... Wait, two more?
You gave her two more?
I thought you gave her one more.
Yeah.
Oh, shit.
She had a total of three.
Oh, shit.
No wonder she was fucked up.
Ugh.
She was stumbling around the house.
And she got super hyper as well.
So she was like trying to do stuff.
And she was like walking sideways.
And she tried to do stuff.
And she tried to jump up on the recliner in the living room.
And she just banged her face right into it.
So sad.
Oh, so bad.
And she was like crying the whole time because she was like all confused.
And she was like, ugh.
And shortly before that happened, she walked into
my room and then proceeded to fall over, basically.
Twice.
Twice.
Yeah.
One on the way in, one on the way out.
Yeah.
And I was like, oh, she's fucked up.
Oh, my God.
She was messed up.
And when we took her to the vet, she did great.
She did really good.
But she did not want to go into the back room where they do all the magic.
And so shout out to Banfield and Tigard at the PetSmart on Dartmouth.
They actually brought all the stuff into the room with us.
And they did it like they clipped her nails and they took her
blood test or they took her blood sample in the room with us.
Hopefully that's not a bad thing.
Because she was totally chill about it.
She fell over.
They took care of her and like they were petting
her and telling her what a good girl she was.
And she did a great job.
They did a great job.
We actually highly recommend them.
The doctors that are there, we've seen for years.
And they're just really personable, nice people.
And they take care of the dogs.
They take care of the people as well as the dogs or cats.
We didn't take a cat there.
But I'm sure they do just fine with the cats as well.
But yeah, they were awesome.
And then we brought her home.
And driving home, she was leaning over the front seat with me because she had found.
..
Tell her about when you got there and tried to get her out of the car.
Oh, yes.
When we got to the vet, I opened up the door
and she was super excited to get out the door.
And she went to jump.
But I had a hold of the leash and she jumped and fell on her side.
And it's raining a lot.
And so she fell on her side and she just laid
there like I had punched her in the head.
She was so funny.
She was so dirty.
When she got home, I ended up having to clean her off with a towel.
And yeah.
So...
The reason I gave her two more when I realized my mistake is because I thought
it was... It would work like Terazodone.
Which we had given her Terazodone before for... It doesn't really work though.
I didn't realize how potent it was.
Oh, yeah.
And I should have realized that when I read... It fucked her up.
When I read that it couldn't be transferred because that means it's controlled.
Yeah.
And that means...
Yeah.
Rough.
Don't.
Please don't.
Yeah.
But yeah, she stayed fucked up until like... Let's do it again.
I said, let's do it again.
Oh, no kidding.
She stayed fucked up until probably 11 o 'clock, 12 o'clock last night.
When I went to get something to eat, she jumped down and seemed fine.
Yeah.
And that was probably around 11.30.
So, yeah.
She definitely was like a little bit better.
Oh, my God.
She was so funny though.
Because when she goes to kiss...
Normally, when she goes to kiss us, she's very, very stingy with her kisses.
Yeah.
She's very polite.
She's like, nom, nom, nom.
But this... She was like a drunk prom date.
She would like stick her face on us and be like...
And then she would yell at the same time.
So, not only was she licking all over our faces, but she's going...
And oh, my God.
Yeah.
It was so unexpected that she licked my teeth.
Oh, she bit my lip too.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
So, if you have a husky and you know how they're very verbal... Yeah.
If you...
Just imagine that.
Yelling right at your face with no barrier.
They would just right here go...
And just fucking cute as she can be.
Oh, absolutely.
So, thankfully...
Thankfully, she was feeling much better this morning.
And she stopped yelling at my face.
Yep.
And biting my lip.
Also, this is the very first episode recorded in 2026.
Holy shit.
January 2nd, Episode 4 came out.
But that was recorded...
We did that... Way before... Right before Christmas.
Yeah.
Yeah.
So... Oh, so happy fucking New Year.
Happy... Happy... Happy... I almost said Happy Thanksgiving.
Happy Thanksgiving.
Yeah.
Yeah.
More and more horrors persist in the world.
But you know what?
It's New Year and...
Like us kidnapping a fucking dictator.
Oh, my God.
Do we really need to start there?
No, we don't.
We already had our own dictator.
We didn't need another one.
And...
No approval.
From who?
Congress.
Anyone?
Anyone.
No.
He approved it.
That's fucking ridiculous.
What a fucking moron.
Oh, Jesus Christ.
Maybe if his ear piercing went a little bit further.
What about... It's not ear piercing.
That was pretend.
It was.
It was a PSYOP.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I don't want to tell anyone how much I want someone else to die, but you may
guess from what we're talking about that we would appreciate
someone to not breathe as much as they already do.
Yeah.
And we're totally talking about Joe Biden.
No.
No, no, no, we're not.
No.
Yeah.
No.
Anyway... Uh-uh.
Anyway...
Oh, FBI.
Yeah.
Oh, yeah.
That's my JBR.
We're totally talking about somebody else, not I.
I am normally not afraid, but they have been so cutthroat in this administration,
that they would absolutely.
They'd be like, I'm going to prison.
But who would be listening to this podcast?
Because we're two queer people.
That is true.
I'm not really going to listen to this one.
How about this?
I remember in the last episode that...
Actually, I don't remember if it was the last one.
Or if it was the episode before that.
But we looked at the analytics of the website for our podcast.
I don't think we talked about that on...
Yeah.
At the end, we talked about the analytics of the site.
I was drinking though, wasn't I?
Yes.
Okay.
So we're going to open up our website at letsgetsidetracked.net.
And?
I'm currently trying to... I feel like a boomer because I just typed into Google,
Let's Get Sidetracked.
Did you Google it?
I Googled.
Chop-chop, yo.
I'm going to hurt you.
I won't.
Oh, it's because I typed in sidetracked.
Isn't that what sidetracked?
E-D?
Sidetracked?
I did T.
Oh, sidetracked.
Well, I can't... I'm not used to this keyboard because I'm using a different
Lenovo laptop than... It is my laptop.
Yes.
Yeah.
Which I actually used to use as my main laptop, but then I was gifted my own.
And mine's just so much cooler.
Mine can dock.
Yours can't.
Oh, yeah?
Yep.
Well, mine can get knocked on the kitchen floor and still work, so...
That's completely fair.
Yours is metal.
Mine's plastic.
It is.
So I guess I can't really say anything about that.
Okay.
So can you see who's listening to us?
Yeah.
So let's look at... Let's look at the overview.
Now, this isn't completely accurate because this is all from this... this year.
Mm-hmm.
So...
So six days.
This is seven days.
Seven days now.
Okay.
But in December, we had 104 monthly downloads.
Woo!
So that's roughly from five to one a day.
But you know what?
It's downloads.
That's not someone that just streamed us.
Yeah.
But the issue with finding that out is that all
of the platforms aren't very transparent about it.
Ah.
And because they have their own systems and they don't really tell you the analytics.
Mm-hmm.
If there's a way I could figure that out, I definitely would.
But going based off of unique listeners, in December, it was 27.
Woo!
And this month, it's 12 because we've had one episode this month.
But that's so many more.
Yes.
That's just a few days.
Mm-hmm.
Sweet.
The most popular day is always
Friday when these episodes go public.
Because you release it, yeah.
Yeah.
And in December, 112 hours was listened of us.
Woo-hoo!
And for January, it's 58.
Hell yeah!
Because we put out a almost two-hour episode last week.
Yeah.
And for most popular player, it is, drumroll please, Apple Podcasts.
Hell yeah!
And Spotify.
Second is unknown.
And third is just Firefox.
Oh.
So nerds.
Yeah.
Dig it!
I'm disappointed to see that OpenAI ChatGPT is marked as two of them.
Son of a bitch.
Which means somebody found us through fucking ChatGPT.
God damn it.
And for locations, let's go ahead and see.
For this month.
Yeah.
Sorry, for the past week.
Right.
That's this month.
That is true.
Yeah.
It is the US.
Brazil.
Oh, weird.
Brazil.
Germany, France, the UK, and Switzerland.
France is falling behind.
They were first a little while ago.
So it is 7.6% for...
Sorry.
76.3% for the United States.
Holy shit.
And then it's 5.3% until Switzerland.
And then it goes to 2.6%.
Oh, wow.
For this year, there is a little bit more.
So it goes 72% for the United States.
6.3% for France, 4.9% for UK, 4.2% for Germany, 3.5% for Switzerland, and then 2.
8% for Brazil, 2.8% for Singapore, 1.4% for Hong Kong,
or fuck, Korea, and then 1.4% for Hong Kong.
Okay.
Okay.
So, and for time periods, the most popular time is, of course, Friday.
Okay.
And at the time of the day, it is the 18th hour.
The 18th hour of the day.
6 p.m.
for you people that don't know military or universal time.
Okay.
First of all, it's 24-hour time.
You know what?
Fuck you.
Fuck you, too.
Yeah, I know.
And for websites that have directed people to here is google.com.
Yeah, Google.
Well, direct is just someone typing in the website at 11%.
And then Google, google.co.uk.
Google.de.
We do love the Googs.
BTW.
And then SophiaAtkinson.com.
Ah.
Yahoo.com.
Uh-huh.
And Google.fr.
People use Yahoo.com anymore?
I guess they do.
Wow.
And then at 0.3% is DuckDuckGo, the best browser on the planet.
I mean, the best.
Honestly, I use the Googs.
I dig the Googs.
I just go.
The thing about, I'm pretty sure that DuckDuckGo is based on Bing.
Okay.
So, it's not the best, in my personal opinion.
But it's for nerds.
Please remove the AI feature.
It's the worst thing you have ever made.
I have to read the article she sent me, but
apparently AI is super, super bad for water.
So, the data centers consume a shit ton of water.
So much.
Yeah, I have.
Honestly, I have not read the article yet.
I'm looking forward to it.
But I'm... I'm also not looking forward to it, because I just...
All the words that come to mind are, fuck, god damn it.
For both water, for our ozone layer, for memory pricing, for everything,
it is not good for the planet.
It's not good for the economy.
I was going to say, so just planet fucking killing, right?
It's so bad that it has actually emptied water.
Ah, jeez.
Thank you, China.
I, for once... Damn.
Oh, you're going to get us beat up, man.
Come at me.
No, let's don't come at her.
Actually, don't.
Don't come at her.
Because that involves... She lives in our house.
Yeah, don't come at me.
No, you'll be coming at the dogs, and they didn't do shit.
Don't come on our dogs.
No.
Anyway.
Excuse you.
Gross.
I'm sorry.
Oh, my lord.
I'm sorry.
Oh, that's nasty.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
That was a little much.
Ew, that was a lot much.
I'm sorry.
That's gross.
Also, how, like...
China...
China, for one, is really taking head on this, where
they are making sure that AI is being used in everything.
Oh, okay.
They are the one that helps design a lot of the AI that is used.
And most of the developers, to my knowledge, are actually from the U.S.
, but are funded by the Chinese Communist Party.
Okay.
Okay.
Well, I have to go pee.
Can we take a quick break?
Absolutely.
Could you pause it this time instead of not pausing it from, like, the last time?
Well, we're going to take a quick break, and
we'll be right back with you momentarily.
Pee-pee time.
And welcome back from that little short break.
We're back.
Yeah.
And I'm tired, so we're going to have to wrap it up.
Yeah.
Before we do that, I almost forgot.
I talked about my 3D printers, I think, a few episodes ago.
Yeah.
They're still down.
But I ordered a bunch of parts on AliExpress.
And put it all together.
Yep.
I just finished the soldering, so everything is quick disconnectable.
I have these JST connectors, which, if you
don't know what that is, it doesn't matter.
They have wires and a little clicky thing in the middle, and they're red.
They are.
Yeah.
That's what I know.
So, I also, for the heater, which heats up the plastic, I got XT-30 connectors,
and they're so small.
The little yellow connectors, they're super strong.
They can take up to 30 amps, which is a lot.
And, yeah, I...
And they're yellow.
They're yellow.
Yeah.
And so, I can't wait to get everything working.
It's been two weeks now that I've been working on it.
I think it's about a week and a half.
Yeah.
It's not that long, because you were printing some stuff, and you made some
pieces for one of them with the other one, and... Yeah.
So, my final plan is to have two printers that are pretty much identical,
say, for a few things.
I have a few more parts coming in tomorrow, I think.
I have a replacement hotend, because I stripped the screws on the one I got for
Chris, so I'm doing a return, and I get a new one.
Yay!
I get a new one, and then I return that one.
Ah.
So, I have new thermal couples.
I have an 80-watt heater instead of the default
40-watt one, which will allow me to heat up a lot more.
What I find weird about that is that for the 40-watt one, that's about 1.
3 amps, I think.
Yeah.
Yeah.
The 80-watt one is 3.3 amps, and the same wire thickness.
And I'm like, how?
How is that they use silicone wire?
Ah.
Silicone wire is way better at taking high temperatures, and it's awesome.
It feels like a little noodle.
Anyway, that's what I'm excited about.
What do you have going on for the rest of this week?
You know, you could be speaking French, talking about all that stuff, and I would.
..
I would understand just about as much.
If y'all are interested in an episode where it's only one of us, and we're just
talking to ourselves as a special, I'm totally down for that.
I can yap all day long.
If you want nerd stuff, just totally.
Sophia, yeah, absolutely.
You want nerd stuff?
No, I... yeah, nerd stuff for me...
I mean, I could talk for a while about...
Supernatural.
Oh, absolutely.
Yeah.
We could talk about...
I want to talk about Harry Potter, because the...
Fuck you, Joanne.
Yeah.
I just...
I'm only in the second season of Big Bang Theory,
so I can't really talk too much about that.
Let's see.
What other nerd stuff do I know about?
You could talk about EMT-ing.
Oh, EMT-ing or crafting.
I love doing crafts.
You're so crafty.
I love doing crafts.
I love doing crafts.
I also like to do woodworking, so... I like eating craft mac and cheese.
Oh, Blue Box.
Yeah.
I don't think anything can beat Blue Box.
Like, if you think about it, for the price... Yeah.
...and how good it tastes... Yeah.
I'm white.
We're both white.
Yeah.
Yeah.
It's not real food, but it's delicious.
But it is tasty.
Cheese that can stay on a shelf for, like, six years.
Oh, shelf-stable cheese.
Yep.
Yep.
I know I'm probably eating so much plastic, but... Mm, give it to me.
Oh, some plastic plus some red dye number 40.
Red 40.
Yeah.
Love it.
Mm.
Well, I mean, as long as it makes the cheese flavor.
It goes right in my cranium.
Hell yeah.
Yeah.
I... Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Cacio e Pepe is so delicious, too.
Oh, I know.
We both do enjoy some regular, like, whole food made foods.
Absolutely.
Like, with hard cream.
Hard cream.
With heavy cream and, you know...
We like home cooking, but also we appreciate cheap-ass white trash cooking.
Oh, white trash dip?
Anybody?
Yeah.
For people who don't know how to make white trash dip, it's two ingredients,
sometimes three if you're feeling crafty.
Right.
You just put in a can of chili.
Yeah.
And then you put in as much cream cheese as you want.
Yeah.
Mix it around.
Like, half a brick of cream cheese is what we like.
I... I'm going to be honest.
I like kind of in between that.
In between half a brick.
So more than that, if you want.
If you want to do a full-on, having somebody over, eating some dip...
Go fucking four cans.
You do two cans of chili, with beans or without, it's up to you.
One brick of cream cheese, and then one of the little
short cans of green chilies, if you like more...
Not spicy, but you want...
You want some chili flavor, you do that, and then you just warm it up on the stove,
and then we like Juan-titos, used to be Juanitas, yeah, they changed the name of it.
They are a local company, they're made in... I think Hood River.
Hood River, Oregon, and they are salty and... They're delicious.
Oily and fucking fantastic.
Those are our favorite chips.
You can eat them with other chips, but I would not recommend...
I would recommend it, I would recommend Juan-titos.
When I talk about Juanitas, I forget that they're not really a thing anywhere else,
but in Oregon, Washington, and top of California.
Well, you get them in Idaho as well.
Well, we don't talk about Idaho.
I do go to Idaho sometimes.
We don't talk about them.
We can talk about the cool parts of Idaho.
Which is...
Just Boise.
Yeah, even Boise has some issues.
Just Boise.
Okay, whatever, forget about it, whatever.
Yeah, I...
Whatever.
Whatever.
Forget about it.
You're not even my real dad.
You don't want to talk about it.
You're not even my real state.
And white trash dip takes like, if you're lucky, 10 minutes.
Tops.
Tops.
And that's rinsing out all the cans.
Yeah.
And the thing is, is I love it so much, but it gives me such bad heartburn.
Because you're such an old lady.
Shut the fuck up.
What?
I don't know.
Talk about your fucking delicious chicken soup.
My chicken soup?
Your fucking delicious chicken soup.
Is it the one with cream of chicken soup in it?
Oh, okay.
So you just make your regular chicken soup.
You get your onion, your celery, your carrots.
You sweat those out.
And you throw that... Ew, stinky, sweaty.
Ew, sweaty.
And you throw that in the pot.
Or take it out of the pot, depending on what you're making.
Put it in.
Or smoke pot.
And then you... Oh, it's Oregon.
But you can't, because you're an EMT.
Meh.
Buh, buh, buh, buh, buh.
And then you cook up your chicken.
Or you get a rotisserie chicken from the store.
And you use whatever of that you want.
You cook all that with some chicken broth.
Or use Better Than Bouillon.
I like that.
Or, if you're super crafty, you've already made your own chicken.
Chicken bone broth from your chicken carcass.
And... I hate the word carcass.
Carcass.
But the best part is, depending on how much soup you're making, you add either
one can or one giant can of cream of chicken soup.
It is the best chicken soup I have ever tasted.
And I just started cheating with it, like, this not too long ago.
Probably five or six months ago.
Yeah, that's pretty sure.
But when you make your...
When you make your noodles, instead of just boiling them
in water, boil them in chicken stock, chicken broth.
It's water with Better Than Bouillon in it.
And just make your noodles with that.
And it just...
It ups the ante quite a bit as far as the deliciousness.
It do.
It do up the uncle.
The funcle as well, if you so desire.
And then you just throw all that shit together.
Let it cook.
You know, I like... I like to let it reduce also.
Let it simmer.
Let it simmer.
Simmer down now.
Simmer down now.
Simmer down.
And, you know, you make your big old pot of
it and then you can eat it for several days.
Or for our house, one day.
When I make the big, big pot, it's several days.
If I make the little...
If I make the potato pot, which I believe is
like four quarts, it only lasts like a day.
But if I make the eight quart pot, it'll last a couple days.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Um, we haven't had it in a little while.
And I'm just gonna say, Campbell Soup, I used to like you.
And then you did all that weird shit.
Everybody's done weird shit.
This is peasant food.
Well, it is peasants.
I mean, what are you?
Yeah.
I'm a surf.
No, a surf is someone who does a job for someone else.
Surfing.
I'm surfing.
Well, we are, we are getting close to the end of this episode.
And this is going to be probably our second shortest episode.
Alongside the very first episode.
Because I'm fucking tired.
Which was about 30 minutes.
Yeah.
I hope you enjoyed this episode.
I hope the audio quality is better.
I want to apologize again for last week's episode being so crunchy.
Stop apologizing.
We're learning.
It's a learning curve.
I won't be using Linux again for this podcast for my own stuff.
I love Linux.
But for recording, I did find out recently that
even diehard Linux lovers are like OBS on Linuxes.
All I heard you say was nerd, nerd, nerd, nerd,
nerd, nerd, nerd, nerd, nerd, nerd, nerd, nerd.
The FTP on the DLT.
Nerd, nerd, nerd.
It has a little bit of SCP.
Nerd, nerd.
I'm going to kick you in your hip.
You don't kick me in my bad hip.
Oh, you hurt my body.
Well, I really hope you enjoyed this episode and that you are enjoying your new
year and you're sticking to your New Year's resolutions if you believe in them.
And if you didn't, then that's totally fine too.
Just keep getting up in the morning and doing what you're supposed to do.
That's all that matters.
Oh my god, yeah.
It's really tough these days too.
And in the Northern Hemisphere... Oh, hang on.
If you're staying alive, that is the fucking goal of life, is to not die.
If you're in the Northern Hemisphere and it's dark as fuck all the time...
Pitch black.
Just hang on because more light is right around the corner.
And if you work overnight shifts, just enjoy this darkness as well as I am because.
And take vitamin supplements.
I am okay if I go to work in the dark and I get home in the dark.
I'm going to shut my eyes before the light happens
and then I'm going to sleep like a fucking baby.
Well, no, I'm going to sleep like a fucking puppy because babies don't sleep very well.
So my fellow night shifters, rejoice in the fact that we have the night.
We have reclaimed the night for us dark-seeking people.
And for you people who enjoy being awake during the daytime hours, hold tight.
It'll happen for you soon.
And then you can be...
As happy as you want to during the daytime hours
and go do your activities and make me want to puke.
But I love you too because there are very few night shifters out there.
And there are lots of daytime people that I love too.
So...
We hear you.
We know you exist.
Absolutely.
Also, learn how to fucking clean.
Which clean what?
Isn't it daytime crew always is like, leave it for the nighttime people.
They leave a mess.
Uh... No, that's your sister.
That is true.
Yeah.
Yeah.
She is daytime.
That is true.
And she do leave it for later.
That is true.
Right.
Well, thank you for joining us on this beautiful...
Beautifully cold Wednesday night at 9.52 pm
Pacific Standard Time.
It is very good to have you all here with us.
And I think we will see you in the next episode.
In the next episode?
Or hear you in the next episode?
We are not going to... Yeah.
We are not going to see anybody.
I just... You knew I was going to say that.
You knew it.
I did.
But I always talk like I am on video.
Right.
Because...
One of these days we will be.
Soon.
We will.
Soon.
And I am going to have to brush my hair.
God damn it.
Tomorrow.
No.
Ugh.
At work.
I want to say thanks too.
Because I talk a lot of shit.
And we both talk a lot of shit.
And we do appreciate everybody listening to this show.
Is that what you appreciate about them?
That is exactly what I appreciate about them.
And again thank you very much for watching.
This has been Sophia.
And I am still Stephanie.
Thank you very much.
Byeeeeee!
Byeeeeee!
Boom!
We are done.
We're done.
We're done.
We're done!
Woo!
Woo!
We are done.
We are done.
We are done.
Yeah, you gotta tighten that.
So we're gonna start just how we normally do, right?
Hey everybody, welcome back to Let's Get Sidetracked with me, Sophia.
And me, Stephanie.
Kinda like that.
Yeah.
Okay.
And after... I just had some sour treats.
What did we talk about today?
Huh?
What did we talk about today?
Today?
Today.
What did we talk about?
What did we talk about?
What ARE we going to talk about?
I don't know.
All I can think about is political.
Political.
Yeah.
Um, we
could talk about...
What happens when people... We kinda talked about that in the last episode.
We did.
But we can talk about it a little bit more, because, like, I think you're wrong.
Me neither.
I don't think we talked about sports at all.
I'm trying to think, I don't think so.
What kind of sports are we talking about?
We like the Super Bowl.
We can talk about the Seahawks.
I like F1.
That's pretty much it.
Max Verstappen!
Max who?
Max Verstappen.
Oh, that is... He's a driver for... We should be recording this.
We are.
We are?
Good for Foxy!
I always record.
You know, I listened to that after the last episode,
when we were practicing what we were going to say.
And I thought that was pretty fucking funny.
Yeah.
I think it's... I like it because I like to end the
episode with music and, you know, kind of like the...
Okay, why don't you go ahead and start the episode then?
Yeah, let's go ahead and start the episode.
Do it.
Okay.
I'm just making sure that it's...
If... I don't want to mess this up again.
We will, actually.
Okay.
And we're going to start.
In 3... 2...
1...
