Hello.
Hello.
Hello.
Hello.
Hello, welcome.
Welcome to the parade.
How’s everybody doing?
How are you feeling?
Welcome to 24.
Yes, bitches, what a year it has been already and we are only a little over 2 weeks in can’t, can’t wait to see what the rest of this year is going to happen.
1:06

We really want y’all to be part of the conversation.
This is super fun to do with my best friend, but it’s even more fun if y’all get involved.
1:44
So we also just wanted to let you guys know that we are eventually going to be starting a brand new segment called Dumpster Fire Advice.
We’ll be dispensing the best advice that you can get the side of a dumpster in Austin and New Orleans.
2:01
So if you want some like, really probably sketch advice about how to deal with some weird problems, e-mail us at Trash Parade usa@gmail.com.
We also have like a little fun thing going on Spotify.
You know, Annie and I both really like music, and we have been making companion playlists.
2:20
You can find those on the Trash Parade Mix tape on Spotify.
You can find that info in the show notes.
We always link each episode playlist, so let us know what you guys think.
Other than that, thanks for love.
We’re happy to be here, but yeah, I think we just want to talk about we’re taking the train into the the new Year.
2:41
Annie.
Yeah.
How’s it been for you?
Yeah, it’s.
Been not that fun, but you know it’s happening.
I’m here for the ride, so I hear there is a little craziness over in your neck of the woods.
3:01
Yeah, I feel like 2024 is already shaping up to be a pretty interesting year here in Austin.
I just think like Texas generally, we’re used to seeing some pretty weird shit, and I don’t mean that, and I keep Austin weird kind of way.
3:19
I’ve just noticed, like people have been slowly growing a little bit more unhinged as time goes on.
I feel like it’s happening everywhere.
We deal with a certain kind of flare in Texas and we recently had a pretty jarring situation take place.
3:39
Mornings around Auditorium Shores are normally a busy time, but Tuesday around 10 AMA victim was attacked with a machete.
First and foremost, feel for the victim who had to go through this.
That’s something that no one should ever have to go through.
Austin police say the suspect, 24 year old Ashton Kane Talley, is being charged with two counts of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon and one count of evading arrest.
4:03
It’s also alarming.
It’s a trend that we seem to be seeing more and more frequently where people are armed with a weapon and they are attacking unsuspecting folks.
And just in general it seems to be this very noticeable increase in in crime happening in prominent spots that people visit.
4:19
But if you see something that is suspicious, obviously call us, contact us because officers want to go out.
We want to try to prevent this kind of no crime from happening, but you know, it’s becoming harder for us to try to keep up and do anything preventative.
OK, y’all.
So apparently we are dealing with machete attacks here in Austin.
4:41
Well, just one machete attack, but I do find that pretty weird.
That’s some like a medieval shit.
Put them in the iron.
Made our name excellent.
I don’t know.
Annie, what do you think about all of that?
4:58
I don’t know.
I mean, I think that, you know, we have a lot of homeless and I, you know, I know Austin is no exception.
A lot of people are on, are on drugs.
So they’re going to be a little bit more intense, let’s say.
5:21
Also, they’re going to probably already have weapons on them because they’re homeless and they’re outside and they’re in, you know, different camps and stuff.
So you know, really, until we start figuring out that problem, I think you’re going to see more and more of that.
5:39
Yeah, definitely.
I I mean, I I just want to be clear here that I don’t believe that like all and house people are violent.
But I do believe that people who are either in the throes of really serious addiction and have hit rock bottom and or are mentally ill and have no resources do wind up homeless quite often.
6:04
And when you have that kind of instability it can be pretty crazy.
I don’t know if this guy was homeless or not, though, to be honest, Like, I don’t know what his deal is.
But we have been seeing like, a lot of this lately, and I was just very surprised that we had such a it’s such a medieval situation, like a machete.
6:26
I don’t know, but people have been getting crazy out here and I’m always kind of floored by it.
Like, I was on my way home from work in the middle of the night, and I stopped by the gas station, by my house, and this guy came into the gas station.
6:42
It wasn’t that late.
It was like 12 or 1:00 in the morning.
I was just stopping to get like some cream for my coffee before I got home.
And the lady that was working there didn’t realize that there was a guy that was behaving really erratically, and he had just, like, real wild energy.
7:02
And he had these sunglasses on at night and the glasses said fuck you and duct tape on them like one.
I said fuck And the other said you.
And the guy’s like, kind of like rifling around and the cashier’s like on her phone.
7:18
And I was like, do you want me to stay here with you until this guy leaves?
And she was like, what guy?
And I was like, honey, bit of a hot one on your hands here, dude.
Guy sure as shit has a gasoline can in his hand.
7:33
And he’s like, do you have any Styrofoam?
And the lady’s like, no, I don’t have any Styrofoam.
What do you, what do you need Styrofoam for?
And he’s like, I’m making napalm.
And she was like, did you not have any Styrofoam?
You can’t make any fucking napalm Like, get the fuck out of here.
7:53
I don’t know.
I just see shit like that all the time.
It’s like a new brand of like, strange, Like, I feel like people are becoming like a little bit like unhinged mentally.
And I don’t think it’s just like, obviously we have a problem with, like, community services and people who are not getting medical care need it.
8:15
And we don’t have homes for a lot of people.
And there’s like a huge drug problem all across this country.
When I say drugs, I’m not talking about like Nancy Reagan, just say no drugs.
I’m talking about like, people who are on fentanyl and like, God knows what.
8:34
So it’s.
I don’t know, it’s just fucking Wildman.
And I’ve noticed like people who are like you would never even expect are just like snapping and like losing their shit.
It’s like wild.
And I don’t like it, but I was like, damn way to start the year off 2024 with a machete attack.
8:52
Say this is coming from somebody that has like several machetes.
Like I like I even was like God damn, that’s really wild.
So anyways, keep awesome I think.
People have been, I mean, people have been real unhinged in these last couple years and I just, you know, I think people are just constantly snapping.
9:18
It’s just, yeah, I don’t know.
I don’t know.
It’s like we’re living in the Wild West right now, like.
That’s what it feels like.
It’s pretty crazy.
It does feel like the Wild West.
I feel like I feel a little bit more nervous around people because I don’t know what I’m gonna get all the time, which is like kind of a gross feeling to have, You know, I I think, like that’s happening everywhere.
9:49
And I don’t know what is causing that.
I don’t know if it’s like the pandemic.
I don’t know if it’s like the pandemic plus the economy plus like the constant echo box of like, insanity that’s going on around us all the time.
Plus, like, you know, drugs and alcohol and trauma.
10:10
Like what?
What the fuck is happening?
We’ve held it together this long and it just seems like everything’s starting to just fall apart.
It’s like real sad.
Yeah, definitely.
Oh, that’s scary.
Yeah, right.
And like, Auditorium Shores is like a pretty populated public place.
10:30
So I just think it’s wild that like, somebody just like unprovoked went like wielding A machete through there.
It’s fucking crazy.
Welcome to 2024.
Well, to continue on the nuts, I love conspiracy theories and just going down rabbit holes of all kinds.
10:55
And sometimes I hear things and I’m like, that can’t be real, like that just cannot be real.
So this is one of the things that I thought was not real there.
11:12
Over in China, they’re still doing gain of function research, which is how we got the pandemic situation.
So this new virus that they have been working on has been 100% fatal to mice.
11:38
And these mice have been, they’re like they make them so they’re more like us basically, and how they react to things.
So at first they infected 4 mice with the virus and they all began to lose weight 5 days post infection.
12:00
Then they became sluggish and their eyes turned white and within 8 days of inoculation, they were dead.
So then they did eight more mice and they also all died.
12:22
And there’s like stuff affecting the brain, the lungs, the eyes.
So, like, this is pretty frightening, but the thing that got me the most is that this virus they harvested from a Penguin.
12:48
Dude, I’m not even kidding.
South Park came out with the Pandemic special a couple years ago, and in the episode Randy Marsh, he goes to China and like, it’s fucking funny actually, he goes to trying to sell weed.
13:06
He meets up with Mickey Mouse and during the episode they do these flashbacks and COVID starts and he flashes back to fucking a bat.
And then later in the episode they’re like, no, it didn’t come from a bat, it came from a fucking pangolin.
13:28
And Randy Marsh.
Fucked.
The Penguin.
But then I read this, and this is literally where they got this virus from that kills 100% of the time.
And I was like, what reality am I in right now?
Like this is Oh my God dude, do you?
13:50
Think somebody was watching South Park and was like, hey, let’s like take this virus from a Penguin and like experiment in it, experiment with it in a lab and like, see if we can start another Pando.
14:05
Like, great, great idea.
Dude, that is fucking nuts.
A little bit more conspiracy theory ish.
So the World Economic Forum is meeting soon, and they recently came out with their like syllabus.
14:30
And in their syllabus they are having a like conversation about disease X.
It’s a pandemic situation that will kill 20 times more than COVID did, and they’re talking about how they’re going to respond to it.
14:52
So I read about this killer gain of function virus being worked on, and then I read about how the World Economic Forum is going to discuss this disease X that is going to kill even more people.
15:09
And I’m just like this is grossing me out.
I don’t like this today.
I have to turn off the Internet.
Like, God, yeah, I don’t even know what to say to that dude.
It just upsets me so much like there’s so many on so many levels like, so I did not read the research paper that you sent me because I was at capacity the other day.
15:42
And that was a lot, a lot of dense information on top of some other dense information I already took in earlier that day.
And I was just like, I think we need to save this for later.
I’m not in like a research paper mode.
I don’t understand why #1 where, OK, we’re not sure where COVID came from.
16:05
We have some people saying it could be a lab leak, some people saying a wet market.
Nobody’s sure where it came from.
We do know that it originated in China.
So let’s say, let’s say we don’t have any ideas about where the pandemic came from.
16:20
Let’s just say we have no biases about that and like it just showed up.
Do you think it’s a good idea to be experimenting with another variant of that disease in the same country where the original disease came from?
16:37
Like, this seems a little bit concerning to me.
On that level #1 I find that problematic and concerning 2.
China is a communist country and I feel like unfortunately history has proven time and time again in like communist countries that there is a lot of, like hiding things for the sake of public appearances or like not wanting to tell the boss something is wrong or like having to put the goal ahead of ahead of, you know, precautions.
17:18
I mean we can see that in Chernobyl and things like that that have happened where like essentially the bureaucracy just like wanted the results and the criticism could be seen as you criticizing the, you know, regime or your government.
17:34
So like people don’t want to say things.
And we did see that the beginning of the pandemic here, aside from where it came from, in how China tried to cover up the pandemic and was silencing the doctors that were talking about it and like trying to make it sound way less bad than it was.
17:54
Why would anyone, from a common sense point of view, want to like, reenact any kind of thing that could potentially cause those those wheels to be set into motion?
Again, like that’s very concerning to me.
18:11
And like obviously there’s not going to be as much regulation in a Chinese lab because they’re kind of hostile to, they wanted to.
China wants to do what it wants to do.
You know, it.
It just is what it is.
So that concerns me that we have like this kind of research going on and we don’t know to like what standards.
18:34
Like have you guys ever ordered anything off of Amazon And it’s like from China and it’s like an off brand, whatever the fuck it is.
And you got it at a really good price.
But it’s an import from China.
You can’t pronounce the brand name on it and it’s like almost the same thing as the name brand, or like it almost does what you need it to do.
19:00
And I just don’t want there to be like an almost working fucking lab for pathogens.
I don’t need an almost working like security function for a lab that is containing deadly pathogens.
19:18
That concerns me, especially since there’s like probably not very good oversight going on there.
So that’s like 2 problems I’m already having with that.
I feel like COVID is so 2020, like go find another disease to work on, Like call it something else.
19:42
I don’t want to talk about it anymore.
I’m so mad.
Well, how is nobody concerned about this?
That’s what I don’t understand is how is the whole world not on their ass?
I don’t know.
Maybe it’s because the whole world is so focused on the Middle East right now, but like, let’s be real, China fucking did this to us to begin with, with COVID, and there was no repercussions.
20:15
The whole world was just like and like.
You still can’t say we don’t know where it came from.
We know where the fuck it came from.
We know this did not come from some bat in whatever their farmers market.
20:31
Like the first person to die was somebody who worked at the lab.
Come on, like, stop being stupid.
So I just feel like this ignorance that we are choosing to have worldwide it it’s going to destroy mankind.
20:48
We will take ourselves out by stupidity.
I yeah, it’s pretty fucked up.
I mean, I I’m kind of leaning on the lab leak theory to be honest, but I’m just trying to be fair.
21:04
And I’m also saying that despite whatever you think about the origin, this still makes no sense logically.
I’ll my Third Point to you on that is like, what do we need this research for?
Right.
Like why are we making things more deadly?
21:26
It doesn’t make any sense to me.
I don’t know.
Yeah, it makes no sense.
I don’t know why we are doing this.
Like I don’t understand like what purpose this kind of research has.
21:43
Like did you see in the paper what purpose the research like had?
Like why were they studying this?
Just like, fuck around and find out.
Pretty much.
I mean gain of research a lot of times is seeing what you can do with a virus, you know, like it’s gain of function.
22:05
So can they make this virus do this or do that?
You know, I I don’t really know.
I just know that at one point shit was shut down and then during the Trump administration, things were being ignored and like, things are happening again.
22:33
So I don’t know.
I don’t know, man.
It’s scary.
And like, obviously China’s only going to tell us what China wants to tell us.
It came out in like, you know, one of their scientific papers.
So I don’t know, dude.
22:50
It’s terrifying, though.
That is terrifying.
And I know that we have some kind of like Saturn transit coming up.
I don’t know if it’s Saturn can jump Neptune.
23:08
We have one coming up soon and like those can sometimes mean like really bad, really really bad health crises, like pandemic style stuff.
So that also weirds me out.
23:23
I don’t like that.
I have goosebumps.
Welcome to 2024.
It’s a trash parade.
All every already.
Wow.
God it never.
Stops.
Fucking crazy, dude.
It never stops.
It is just a trash parade, dude.
23:42
I well, let’s, yeah, let’s.
Just move on to the next topic.
It’s depressing.
That’s it.
That’s enough here for now.
Well, let’s talk about something more funny.
23:57
Yes, I mean, can we talk about the fucking French person foremost?
I fucking love French people.
I love everything about France.
I’ve spent time there.
I love the French.
They have just like a panache to the way that they do everything.
24:17
And, like, I’m sure we all remember the protests from last summer where the French were upset about them trying to raise the retirement age by year.
And, like, for weeks, garbage cans were just, like, on fire.
24:34
And people were still, like, going out to dinner and, like, pretending like it wasn’t happening.
It was just like, part of the landscape.
That’s what I appreciate about the French.
They know how to throw a good protest.
Somebody hit a knife and a baguette at some point during that time, which I knew it.
24:54
It is my favorite.
I feel like if I’m going to get arrested at any point in my life, it’s probably going to be because I have a shift in my baguette.
It’s like something I want to put on my bucket list.
So anyways, I have delicious baked goods that can also double as like any kind of like mask for a weapon, which I think is very multifunctional.
25:22
And yeah, you know, they just, they like to get angry and tell their government like how it’s going to be and what’s going to go, how it’s going to go down.
And like, they like to light shit on fire.
And I respect that.
Not that I’m saying we should light anything on fire.
We’re not the French.
We can’t pull that off people, OK, We’ll get out of control.
25:42
I’m just saying from across the pond, I’m just sort of like looking at this and I’m like, this is all so French.
I don’t know.
Like, anyways, so French have gotten a little riled up again this weekend.
They’re what we say, Oh, all petite, angry.
26:00
The farmers are a little bit angry, particularly the ones in Toulouse.
The farmers in Toulouse right now took a bunch of trucks to the government buildings there and decided that they were going to spray everything with poop.
26:21
Well, with governments cracking down on farmers in their bid to reach net zero, we’ve seen protests in Australia, in the Netherlands and America, but no one protests quite like French farmers.
Check out these guys who protested outside the government buildings, spraying those government buildings with manure to make their point.
26:40
Caleb, I reckon that would convince MPs to listen to your grievances.
I mean, I’ve heard of people cracking the shits, but that is taking it to a new level.
I suspect only in France would you get a protest like, but you’ve stunk everybody else out in the processes.
Now they did indeed.
26:58
I did not have this on my bingo card for 2024, but like the French are literally like spraying shit all over their government buildings right now.
The French farmers are very angry about like the wages that they’re not, the wages, the prices they’re getting for their products and their produce we can link to like what’s going on in the show, notes Reader’s Digest version.
27:26
The French farmers are mad and all of France was covered in fucking poop right now.
And I I don’t know, I just saw that and it made me like, really happy, provided nobody died from the poop.
But yeah, that’s that’s so fucking French, dude.
27:45
I love it.
It’s.
So French.
Disgusting.
It’s offensive and it’s like, it’s the most perfect way to protest.
Like, how can you get any better?
28:01
Than that.
I feel like if January 6th had just been like a poop spray attack, that would have landed a lot different, you know?
Not that I like.
Yeah, it would have.
You know what I mean?
28:19
I Not that I’m saying anybody should, like, go to the Capitol and spray it with poop.
But like.
I’m just saying it’s just two very different styles of grievance.
One has imagination, the other is just, you know, insurrection.
28:36
It’s insurrection.
It’s like a Walmart.
It’s wish.com insurrection.
That’s what it is.
It’s wish.com Insurrection.
Oh man.
So anyways, so I guess, like, while we’re all here, especially if you live anywhere near Lubbock where you get nice little inversions that smell kind of like poop.
28:59
It could be worse.
You could be in France, and you could be inside of a government building inside Toulouse that’s literally getting sprayed down with metric shit.
Tons.
Metric shit.
Ton of shit.
I I love, I love a good protest.
29:20
I saw the Germans were protesting and there was a lot of them out, which was nice, you know?
I know, I said.
About the petrol taxes, right?
I think so.
So.
But they all came out and like this, you know.
29:38
I feel like America has forgotten how to have a proper protest and how to, like, unite to do it, you know?
Right.
Like we just, it just doesn’t hit like it used to.
29:56
I mean, we protested a lot during George W Bush and everybody came out and it was like large crowds and was like a proper protest.
And yeah, I miss.
30:14
I miss those.
Days, Yeah.
I feel like I’ve been to a few rallies where, like, people are just not feeling the energy.
They’re not like, they’re not like, in solidarity with the other people around them.
Like when you’re in a protest and, like, everybody’s like in it, it almost feels like being in a concert because, like, the energy becomes like a blanket and you’re kind of like in it.
30:39
It’s like one of the, like, weird places in life where you can, like hook into other people’s energy.
Like, I feel like concerts are like that, protests can be like that, things like that.
But like, I’ve been to a couple protests.
Like, I went to one of the Black Lives Matter protests when I first moved down here and like, very confused because I was like, is this just like a Southern style of a protest?
31:05
Because like, everybody was just sort of like walking and not talking and like didn’t really seem like they really cared about that.
Like what was going on.
Not everybody, but like quite a few people in the crowd.
There was like no excitement, there was no, like chanting and like nobody was leading.
31:24
Like the Cheers and stuff like that.
This was really weird, but I think, like, people just do that now.
I think it’s just like we’re weak sauce at the protesting, like not everywhere, But I feel like a lot of protests are just like like you’re trying to get people’s attention, man, like have some excitement, you know, like put a little effort into it.
31:52
There was a good protest situation up in Chicago.
It was, you know, in solidarity with Palestine.
And what they did was they hit up five spots and like, they went to, I think, Dick Durbin’s house, He’s a senator, right?
32:20
And they went to different representatives houses, basically.
They protested in front of their house all at different times.
And like, I thought that was really awesome.
And like.
For that ’cause that is, who needs to be protested?
32:37
Like we’ve been so busy protesting each other that we have forgotten the government is the enemy.
That is who you have to protest.
They’re the ones who make up the rules, man, like we are making up the rules.
32:52
They are.
So props to Chicago City in solidarity, ’cause that was a really great tactic.
Yeah, I’ve seen some really good protests and I’ve seen some, like I’ve participated in some really good protests and I participated in somewhere.
33:13
I’m like, it’s not a funeral.
Y’all let them hear your voice, you know?
So I like it.
People who are organizing out there and trying to do right by everybody, keep that creative mojo going.
Don’t do anything stupid we don’t sign off on doing.
33:33
No, don’t.
Channel the French.
Wear a beret and a have a baguette without.
A knife in it.
Legally, we can’t tell You put a knife in the baguette.
I’m just saying, like, you know, we’re talking about points for enthusiasm, not points for stupidity here.
33:54
Just to be clear, we’re not trying to incite violence.
I just like appreciate the performative aspect.
So just so we’re clear, we’re not encouraging you to go and like get truck fulls of poop and like spray government buildings with it because that would not be funny at all.
34:15
That would not be funny at all.
It would be like a huge travesty.
Think of all the cows labor you know that would be exploited to create all that poop that you would need to fill a truck full to dump it on your local government building to tell them what you really think about their policies and how they’ve been treating people lately.
34:38
We don’t think that’s funny at all.
We think it’s hilarious and you should probably try that.
I’m definitely, definitely signing off on.
If you don’t have enough manure for an entire truckload, I guarantee you you’re I’m not going to say I guarantee you, you’re probably not going to get in trouble for leaving small bags of dog poop on your representatives like front porch.
35:05
I feel like.
If everyone leaves a small bag of dog poop on your local representatives, like front porch biodegradable bag, of course we want to be friendly to the environment.
That could have an impact.
35:21
I’m just saying it’s the American answer to the French problem, but I mean, not that we’re trying to encourage you guys, not, you know.
We’re individuals here.
I think that might actually be the right way to do it.
35:39
Individual bags of poop.
Oh my God.
OK, so I have an idea #1.
Yes, we should.
Dog poop bats, individual, one by one.
Yes, I’m loving this.
35:55
This is great.
I also think it would be super awesome if we went to like we could go to like the Capitol building or like some other government building locally, you know, And if we staged like some kind of protest.
36:15
But we wrote the names of each one of the senators that we hated and the bills that they did or did not pass.
Same for everybody else in the government and just made like a giant pile of poop out of small bags of poop.
36:34
That could be like some performative ass fucking art, and then we’d light it on fire at the end.
Yeah, that sounds great.
Oh my God.
Oh, next thing you know we’re going to get charged with a riot app, dude.
36:53
I mean, this is all for entertainment purposes.
I mean we’re just we’re just talking here.
We’re.
Just kidding.
Serious.
We’re just kidding.
We’re just kidding.
Poop is not funny.
We’re ladies.
We don’t poop.
No, but I would give like a digit to light a bag of dog poop on fire on Ted Cruz’s porch.
37:17
Just happened to stomp on it anyways, I think that’s enough for poop for probably until at least half of 2024.
37:34
We’ll probably get there sooner or later.
But anyways, keep your protest creative.
Peaceful but creative.
Yes, and remember, your fellow man is not the enemy.
The government is the enemy.
37:51
Know your enemy, as Rage Against the Machine would say.
Yes.
Do you think Rage Against the Machine would like, sign off on like, sending little Baggies of poop to Congress?
I mean, it’s a brilliant idea.
38:08
I think so.
Let’s go from poop to ingesting food.
Who’s hungry?
Is anybody?
Hungry right now, ’cause I know I could really go for some chocolate ice cream.
38:26
Well, you may not want to do that.
So on one of the nights I was in my conspiracy theory looking things up, I was on Insta and I think I was on Insta.
38:43
I could have been on Reddit.
I don’t know, like everything is a blur on my phone.
But I saw this video about, again, mice.
We test on mice for everything.
It’s very weird.
Oh yeah.
So the one group of mice, well, first all the mice were on whatever diet, a regular mice diet, and they all like, swam in this pool and they got to this little island in a very short amount of time.
39:16
So they took the mice into two groups and again, they like, did some humanizing shit on them.
I don’t know, science, science, science, whatever.
So they’re like more like us.
One group of mice got fed like a good diet, like the Mediterranean diet or something like that.
39:35
The other group were fed what they called the North American diet.
So like ultra processed foods and tons of sugar.
Well, they saw that the mice who were eating the North American diet were kind of just getting Dumber and Dumber and slower.
40:00
The brain was just like not functioning as well.
And they were testing them to go out to this little island in the water.
And it got to the point where the mice being fed the North American diet could not find the island.
And that led me on to some.
40:19
Other things that I was reading about about how we eat in this country and what it’s doing to us.
And more and more I’ve been hearing about how sugar might be causing some Alzheimer’s disease, among other diseases.
40:38
And these people, these doctors that I was watching, they actually think that Alzheimer’s might be a form of diabetes along with PCOS and fatty liver disease.
And they were saying that the diabetes that we know like type one, type 2, type 2 in particular, you know, it affects like the pancreas, I think it is and like organs in that way.
41:07
So they’re starting to think that, like, diabetes might be more than just that one thing and it’s causing havoc on like other parts of the body.
And that just like really is frightening as somebody who is like addicted to sugar and has been like working very hard these last six months to like not eat as much.
41:32
I’m just like, Oh my God, what’s going to happen to my brain?
And growing up in the time period that we grew up ultra processed foods was like that is what we were eating.
41:47
You know, like this whole like organic health kick didn’t come till later on, but like the late 80s through the 90s was just like food was like in our commercials for kids.
42:02
So we would go to the store and beg for this or that, you know.
So it’s a little terrifying to see what the outcome of this is going to be in our future, considering how many people in this country are overweight because of the food that we eat here.
42:21
And like our medical system is already fucking terrible.
So like what is going to happen to us in 20 years?
Like I’m, I don’t know, I just bringing all the fear today.
42:40
It’s really fucked up though, ’cause it’s, I think, like everything that you just said is really terrifying.
I think that it’s really hard, ’cause like, I don’t know, just for me personally, and I don’t know if this resonates with you.
42:59
But for me personally, as a woman growing up in an overweight body and then having like a thin body for a long time, then having a big body, I’ve like, worn children, sizes through plus sizes, all as an adult, you know?
43:15
So I’ve experienced life in a bunch of different bodies.
And I feel like there’s always this like internal, like dialogue that’s going on about like what is going in my body, how I’m processing it, like what’s good for me, what’s not.
43:34
And then also I was exposed to like a lot of like holistic and alternative medicine stuff and like kind of going through watching people I know do like lots of colonics, getting encouraged to go get colonics, like being encouraged to go on like 30 day fasts where like you only drink pineapple juice.
43:58
This other thing to get rid of toxins like, I feel like, so those things can kind of take over in a way where it’s like all you’re thinking about and it can become obsessive, right?
There are problems with our, our American diet.
44:14
Like, I know that just from how I’ve, like, experienced my life and also how I feel when I can afford to eat better when I was in Europe.
Like, I can’t even tell you like the I didn’t have any digestive problems when I was in Europe and I was eating like a lot of similar stuff here.
44:32
Like the food is just not as processed.
It’s not as like low quality as what we’re getting here because those are luxury items here to have like unprocessed food.
So I feel like my instinct when I hear an article like that is to like want to go dump everything out of my fridge and like only eat like kale for the rest of my life, which also is not healthy, you know?
45:02
So it’s I feel like a lot of people can relate to just like that panic that we get when we are talking about our diets like.
And I feel that that can be really difficult for somebody to make changes.
Like, does that resonate with you at all?
45:18
Like, I feel like I I’m getting very anxious hearing about this because I also don’t want to be like in a position again where like I went overboard with the health stuff and I was wearing like kids sizes, you know what I mean?
But I also am like, how do I find that balance?
45:36
You know, like the problem is anxiety provoking.
I think what I’m trying to say in a very roundabout way is that we see and read articles like this and like take in information.
I think that the problem that we are having is that we are having a dialogue within ourselves about this and like what we’re doing wrong.
45:59
I feel that the problem that we should be, the conversation we should be having is with our systems and with our government, because this isn’t just about individual choice.
It’s a systemic problem.
And I feel like we’re not talking about the systemic issue that we’re dealing with here.
46:21
I feel like whenever we read about like, how unhealthy shit is here, whether that’s diet or like lifestyle or God knows it’s America.
I mean, come on, we invented the double down.
But we are always making that about personal choice, which I know that that’s a huge part of it, obviously, But, like, it should be a systemic conversation.
46:46
And I think the fact that we’re not demanding higher quality for our lifestyle, our diet, the things that we have access to, is part of why we’re getting sicker and sicker.
Like we shouldn’t be treating like, like healthy food as something that’s a luxury.
47:06
And it’s disgusting that in America, we’re literally living in a country right now where the wealthy signal how much money they have based on how they eat and like the cleanses that they can afford and like whether or not everything is organic, free range, yadda yadda yadda.
47:26
They only eat fresh vegetables every day.
And, you know, want to talk about trying to, you know, talk about their latest, like, fucking weird thing that they’re doing to, like, clear their butt hole out, That is.
That is a problem.
47:43
Like all the weird, like trendy like New Age Shit aside, it should not be a symbol of wealth that you can afford vegetables in America.
That is fucked up.
47:59
Yeah, well, and the way that health is not pushed in this country, body image is pushed in this country.
But we never talk about being healthy.
48:18
Look at the food pyramid.
How fucked up is the food pyramid?
All because of corporate lobbyists.
And like you know, corn is in everything because of corn subsidies from the government.
48:34
And like high fructose corn syrup is in everything because it’s made out of corn in the corn that these farmers are growing because of the subsidies from the government needs to get used.
So they turn it into this shit that is bad for us, and then the government allows these people put it in all of our food.
48:55
And then you have, you know, our factory farming, which it’s kind of terrifying.
I mean, I got this chicken breast the other day and the thing was like this fucking big and like thick.
And I was like, I know that this bird could not even stand up because this is so big and it’s ’cause they’re pumped full of antibiotics.
49:19
So that’s going to lead to being antibiotic resistant for humans, which is already a problem.
And like, these birds are sick.
Same with our pigs.
I just saw this story about I was like, in Virginia, this pig farm was right right next to residential places and they, like, sprayed the shit out of these ponds.
49:43
And so the residents were going to shit all over their houses and like literal feces from pigs.
And it’s like, why is this OK?
What the fuck is the government for if it’s not setting standards for how we’re supposed to live?
49:59
I am tired of corporate entities and lobbyists, all these like, anybody who has money gets to be in control of the government.
And that’s like, we’re not even talking about Bill Gates or how China owns the biggest pork manufacturer in the United States.
50:19
There are major problems here and we don’t.
Our government does not care.
I mean, Europe, there’s a lot of foods that we have in America that are banned in Europe because of what’s in them.
Europeans live longer than Americans do, and those fuckers smoke over there.
50:38
They’re eating all that cheese like.
So why is it that like we are not allowed to eat healthy?
I mean everything in the store is full of antibiotics.
50:54
It’s if it’s like candy or anything in a box.
I mean, the way it’s designed is to catch your eye and they make, they put it in pleasing colors for children.
And it’s just like they’ve worked the American mind on what food is and they have genetically modified our food.
51:20
And I think they make things addictive too.
I know that, like, I love Coca-Cola.
If I drink one, then I want another one and then the next day I’m like, Oh my God, I gotta have another one.
51:36
And that’s how sugar is.
But like, a lot of this stuff is not even sugar.
It’s high fructose corn syrup.
So like, it’s.
I feel like it’s done on purpose.
You know it’s.
Yeah, it’s definitely.
51:53
It’s weird because you know, and I want to like toe the line here between like, I am not one of those people that’s like you need to go on a cleanse or anything like that.
I’m not trying to like encourage any kind of sorexia or anything like that because I know like when you start talking about getting rid of toxins and things like that, it can be a trigger for some people.
52:17
But I also I feel like when I’m not eating sugar, it my palate is different.
Things taste different and I think that’s really crazy.
And they’ve shown like with I know with like Nutrasweet or aspartame and like whatever that like that, even though it’s an artificial sweetener can like change your palate and your taste buds so that like things don’t taste as sweet anymore.
52:48
Because you have such a, like a high tolerance of stuff being extra sweet that you don’t even notice the, you know, the sugar content and a lot of things anymore.
And that’s with an artificial artificial sweetener.
Like if everything that you’re eating is sugar and like infused with sugar in some way, like that’s got to affect your palate.
53:12
Like, I know it has me like when I’m able to afford the type of diet that I like to eat and can, it makes me feel good.
Like, I don’t really crave sugar because things taste sweeter to me because I’m not eating a lot of sugar.
53:28
So it is fucking addictive, dude.
Like, it really is.
And it does make you.
I feel like it just makes you.
It does weird things to your body.
Like it really does Like too much sugar, does all kinds of weird things to your body.
53:46
Like if I’ve been eating like, a lot of sugar, I can feel that it’s not.
Like, yeah.
When I was working at the bakery like I was I I did all the chocolate work and there’s days where I was like making like a fuck ton of ganaches.
54:07
So like this is the.
My other problem is I worked in food so like I had to eat food.
Like it’s been a very complicated struggle for me.
But anyways, so I’m like tasting these ganaches and whatever and I by the end of like my time working in it, I would feel so sick and like my brain was just like not functioning and like everything would be fuzzy to me.
54:38
And there is a lot of days like that, working in pastry where I was just like, I am breathing in sugar and flour, I’m tasting all this stuff and like it was.
It’s been incredible not working in it to see how different things taste to me now, ’cause, like things are sweeter to me now that I’m not in, like eating it every day, breathing it in every day.
55:11
It’s incredible how different my palate is now.
Yeah, it’s so wild.
But yeah, I guess, like, that’s really just my, my take away from what you said is that, like, this is not about individual choice.
55:26
So if you just heard that and you’re like beating yourself up about what you’ve been eating, like, does this a systemic fucking problem?
Whole food, healthy food, which they should not be something for the elite.
55:42
It should be the standard.
It should be the norm and like you have to.
Remember, there’s so many places with food deserts where they can’t even get an apple.
Like that’s a real thing in the United States.
So like how you know those communities are not getting the vitamins they need, especially the children.
56:05
So when you’re not getting all those vitamins that you need because it’s not available, what is happening to their brain development, it’s it’s just like this problem is so toxic from the moment you’re born.
56:23
I mean, probably before while you’re, you know, while your mother is carrying you because whatever she’s ingesting, you know, you’re getting the nutrients from that.
So it’s like, I mean, again, the government does not care about you.
56:40
It doesn’t matter.
The party doesn’t matter, like what side you’re on.
They’re not on our side.
We don’t give them money.
You know, we we give them a paycheck.
56:56
But like the lobbyists give them millions of dollars when they get out of there, and I think we just need to take our country back.
Yeah, and you can do that by taking individual bags of poop and placing them wherever you like.
57:18
Look up your state representatives.
OK, Annie, I have a joke for you all.
Right.
What can’t walk or move its arms?
What is somehow a sexual predator?
57:36
What Stephen Hawking?
Dude, I like, I cannot even comprehend Stephen Hawking’s and like this whole Epstein situation and all the things I’ve learned about him.
58:00
It’s the that since he came out in the documents.
Oh my God.
For those of you that don’t know, but I’m sure you know exactly what we’re talking about because the Internet exists, and this is late for the Internet.
58:19
Some of the documents from Virginia Goofre’s deposition during the Epstein trial were released.
We’ve had a couple of rounds of documents coming out, and this included like other names that were discussed, not all of which were necessarily involved in nefarious activities, but other things that were pretty fucking gross and nasty about people you would never expect.
58:45
And at one point, she describes Stephen Hawking taking part in an underage orgy.
I’m sure I don’t understand.
59:03
I don’t understand.
OK?
Like, I don’t get it.
The man needs to use his eyes to talk and he, like, literally can’t move.
So I don’t understand the mechanics of this at all.
59:19
And then I found out that he cheated on his wife.
Right How?
I don’t get it how like I might be ignorant, but I know that a lot of people that are like paraplegics can still do things and live like a relatively normal life.
59:44
But from my understanding, Stephen Hawking doesn’t have like much control, had not much control over anything except for what was kind of going on his facial area.
Hence the the cool wheelchair that he built.
1:00:02
He could like do everything with his eyes.
OK, I don’t understand like there’s just some things in this like algebra equation that do not compute for me where I’m like like.
You know how some people like to make it sound like having an affair just happened?
1:00:22
Or like, cheating just happened?
Like it was like this random moment with somebody and it only happened one time, which we know is like, not true.
But people say that that, you know, we’ll give that excuse when they’ve, you know, committed some kind of infidelity.
1:00:39
This is how you know that that is not true.
Because this guy, I had to have had a conversation with someone to initiate an affair.
And I’m sure it was a very weird conversation.
Like, I don’t understand how you don’t want to be a jerk, but like, how do you flirt with somebody when you’re like, talking through that robot machine thing?
1:01:05
Like, I feel like it only has one tone of voice, so everything would kind of like, fall flat.
Like, I can’t imagine I like, I already don’t like being propositioned.
But like, I can’t imagine having someone be like, would you like to sit on my face, my life Is that the grocery store And having somebody be like, yeah, like, I don’t know.
1:01:35
So I guess, like, just the multiple steps that would have to be involved for an affair to be initiated or any kind of sexual activity in that regard confounds me.
Furthermore, we have the obvious, like man can’t control most of his body.
1:01:52
I don’t really know, like how do you fuck somebody?
I don’t know how he’s fucking these people.
I don’t know what his thing is.
I’m sure people who are in similar situations have very fulfilling sex lives that I’m gonna wear, how they work, but I just am not comprehending the logistics here.
1:02:08
OK, so those are two things that I’m like, whoa, what the fuck?
And then I don’t know why it keeps doing that.
I’ve never seen balloons before.
Oh my God.
1:02:27
Anyways, that’s yeah, logistically makes no sense to me.
Second, I understand falling in love with somebody for their personality, but, like, even that’s making me work like really hard.
1:02:48
Like who’s?
Like, yeah, I wanna fuck that guy.
Like, I’m sorry.
I don’t think so.
Like that just it just screams like there’s some kind of, like background of trauma that’s going on in this entire situation that I’m like confounded by.
1:03:10
And then the fact that he’s like a perv on top of it, like you.
I’m surprised that he like man hoarded up and then on top of it to think that like he’s also into like underage girls.
1:03:29
And The thing is, he has he, he had help.
Like he can’t just like roll in there on his own.
Like people helped him put himself in that situation amongst these underage girls.
1:03:49
It’s just like.
It’s just like the sheer amount of like things that needed to be put in motion and involved for any of those scenarios that take place.
I just like cannot wrap my head around it.
1:04:04
Guys, what do you do with Stephen Hawking at an orgy?
I mean, the word orgy, like would mean that like everybody is participating, right?
I feel like.
1:04:22
Usually, yeah.
I don’t.
I don’t understand.
I feel like whenever people are having an orgy, there’s like, you know, you want to make sure nobody gets left out.
1:04:37
Like everybody’s like whatever.
You know, like you’re trying to keep the vibe going.
I just can’t imagine like going to an orgy, let’s say this is a consensual orgy of adults and then being like, it’s my turn to get on Stephen, right?
1:05:00
I don’t, I don’t know, like it’s my turn to get on Stephen and he’s going to talk at me in that like, robot voice and like that’s going to like be a weird vibe at a fucking orgy dude that is going to be a weird ass fucking vibe.
1:05:16
I can’t imagine.
I’m sorry.
Is that the only thing I can think of?
Like, obviously they, I mean, they had to take him out of the chair and get him naked.
I wouldn’t imagine it.
1:05:32
Well, I don’t even know what his disease was, but like, I would imagine like being touched probably still feels good.
Yeah.
So like, as long as people were just like rubbing up against him while doing other people, maybe that’s how it was going down, I don’t know.
1:05:51
But like, it’s also gross.
He was gross looking like.
OK, that’s what I’ve been trying not to say this entire time, Annie, but, like, yes, I’m sorry.
That is not.
1:06:09
He’s a genius.
I will give him that.
But good Lord, even before he got sick, he was not an attractive man and I can’t imagine and like I’m OK.
So this all really fucked up, OK?
1:06:25
We were talking about like exploitation of people.
I just never expected the exploitation to come from fucking Stephen Hawking.
It’s like blowing my mind and now like my imagination has like segwayed into being in the middle of an orgy and being on Molly and like a cuddle puddle and like being on top of Stephen Hawking and a bunch of other people.
1:06:54
Being like that is really crushing my vibes here, my hopes for an exciting evening.
It’s a lot to pack and.
You know what, I guess?
I mean, you have to imagine everyone who went to that island was disgusting in some way.
1:07:17
I mean, look at the totally.
Let’s talk about Alan Dershowitz, who was.
Oh my God, A. 144 times on the island or on the plane, I don’t.
I don’t know.
This motherfucker keeps denying that he even knew him and he’s saying it’s the feminist fault, but dude.
1:07:36
I can’t even with that.
I love how he’s like, me too, ’cause this.
And I’m like, no, you too ’cause this.
But looks like a bat, like an old rabid bat, and I just feel so bad for the girls who had to touch him.
1:08:00
He’s disgusting.
Dude, I feel.
Like, there’s that.
They were all disgusting.
Oh girl.
All of those people are disgusting, girl.
Could you imagine, like, getting railed like really hard and like enjoying the shit out of your life and being like I’m having the best time ever?
1:08:25
And then like turning your head and Stephen Hawking is looking at you going.
Oh my God.
Oh, it’s gonna be my nightmare.
It was never something that would even enter my mind until these papers came out.
1:08:51
I think on April Fool’s Day, Oh my God, Derek, don’t listen to this.
On April Fool’s Day, I’m going to take like one of those, like, body pillows.
I think I’m going to, like, tape Stephen Hawking’s head.
1:09:06
Do it like life-size and like, just put it up next to Derek and then just sprinkle a little water on him so he can wake up and have him staring.
Oh.
Oh my God.
1:09:27
So everything that comes out with the Upstate shit, it just gets grosser and grosser.
I do have to say though, thank you Internet to all the Stephen Hawking names.
They were.
Like.
The best.
1:09:46
Oh my God, those memes.
I was like living for them.
Can I share a couple with you?
OK, I have.
I have some safe I’m fucking sick.
And also, I don’t participate in orgies, just so you guys know.
But whatever you decide to do with your body is your choice.
1:10:06
So.
Yeah, if it’s your choice.
If it’s.
Consensual with an adult.
Do you?
Yes, you.
Do you with adults only?
1:10:29
OK, all going to hell.
OK.
1:10:55
Oh my God.
1:11:13
Did I know?
It’s You’re so fucked up, dude.
Why are there so many, like, gang reels of people with wheelchairs doing really weird things?
If we have to have trash, at least we can make fun of them with memes.
1:11:32
Thank you, Internet.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Yes.
Oh my God, God, it’s just so crazy.
What?
1:11:48
What?
Where are, where are we right now?
Like, I feel like somewhere along the line I ended up in a parallel universe and shit got real weird.
Do you ever feel like you just are like tripping and like you’re missing, like the part of the situation that, like, your sober brain knows that makes everything make sense?
1:12:21
Like.
And that’s what I these last few years have been like.
I’m just like, where’s the part that makes it all make sense?
Like, Oh my God, strange.
1:12:38
Anyways, yeah, strange times we’re living in.
Well, you guys don’t feel like your mind has been totally assaulted by, well, Pat Joy’s words.
