ChrisBut you know, we.
ChrisWe move on.
ChrisWe're not a political show, nor do I want to alienate 57% of the audience.
ChrisSo we, we move along.
NickSo just keep swimming.
ChrisJust keep swimming.
ChrisFor sure, Nick.
ChrisSo anyway, last week we kind of teased about something and I wanted to kind of dial into everybody's parenting style a little bit.
ChrisAnd we've got Darren here who's, you know, my, my son, so we can get some insight firsthand.
ChrisBut I wanted to talk about helicopter parenting.
ChrisSo I know without a shadow of a doubt that at least one of us on this podcast is a helicopter parent.
ChrisChris.
ChrisA thousand percent is a helicopter parent, Nick.
ScottWow.
NickI mean, I thought you were going to talk about the video.
NickDid my video surface of me doing helicopter?
NickThe one when I was doing the helicopters on a Carnival Cruise Ship balcony?
NickIs that what we're talking about?
ChrisNo, not quite.
ChrisNot quite.
ScottThat's.
ScottThat's a helicopter, Daddy.
NickI, I don't know what you're talking about.
NickSo I don't, I don't know what this means.
NickIs this.
ChrisThey hover.
ChrisThey hover over the kid.
ChrisThe not letting the kid really explore the boundaries on their own.
ChrisThat just very protective.
ChrisHave the bubble wrap everywhere.
NickOh yeah, Chris definitely is.
ChrisYeah.
ChrisSarah, what do you think?
ChrisIs Chris a helicopter parent?
SarahI think that any parent to a child under the age of.
SarahHow old is she?
SarahFive months?
ScottSix months.
ScottSix months, yeah.
SarahSo, I mean, I would think that any parent would be a helicopter parent at that age, but I think it's.
ChrisGoing to continue through high school.
ScottOkay, Chris, let me elaborate, please.
ScottI am a helicopter parent.
ScottIf, if the helicopter is the one that Kobe Bryant rode on.
ScottOh, I am probably the snap.
ScottI am the.
ScottI am the least helicoptery parent ever.
ScottAnd you know what's funny is before the baby, we kind of, me and Emily had this discussion.
ScottIt's like, who is going to be the one that's going to be anxious all the time?
ScottAnd this and that.
ScottIt's Emily.
ScottEmily is the Apache helicopter Bear.
ScottNot even helicopter.
ScottShe's like, she's like Marine One, like carrying the president helicopter.
ScottLike for instance, actually this just happened tonight, which is really funny.
ScottSo we were at her parents house for dinner and Ellie was getting tired.
ScottSo Emily's mom was like, hey, you want me to just lay down with her in the bedroom, see if she'll go to sleep?
ScottYeah, sure.
ScottSo she just takes her in there.
ScottAnd then Emily's mom walks out and she goes, oh yeah, she's, she's asleep on the bed.
ScottYou know, I got pillows on both sides.
ScottShe can't roll.
ScottAnd Emily was in there watching her to.
ScottJust to make sure that she wasn't going to fall like roll over the pillow.
ScottOnto the floor or that she was continuing to breathe.
ScottI think she was counting her breaths like our nanot usually does.
ScottMe, I just.
ScottI was like, I was just eating some steak dinner, enjoying myself, drinking over.
NickTop of her, probably with like, the.
ChrisSausage, like.
ScottDaughter refers to ribeye today.
ScottNo, I.
ScottIt almost.
ScottI almost questioned my parenting.
ScottI also, I actually, I almost questioned me being a parent at all when I just.
ScottThe amount that I just don't care about stuff that I shouldn't care about.
ScottAnd I think it's.
ScottFor so long I've been.
ScottI haven't been on anxiety medicine, and I'm so used to overthinking and caring about things that I shouldn't.
ScottThat when the baby came into our lives, like, it was a surprise.
ScottLike, when we had the baby, I.
ScottIt's like I'm like questioning, like, do I have any humanity left?
ScottDo I.
ScottWhere.
ScottWhere is my emotions?
ScottAnd like, I went to see my.
ScottMy psychiatrist and she, like, looked at me.
ScottShe's like, how was, you know, her things with the baby?
ScottYou know, how are you doing with that?
ScottI was like, honestly, I feel less anxious after the baby.
ScottWhich just makes me think that maybe Zolof doesn't help with anxiety.
ScottIt just dehumanizes you and desensitizes you, which I think that might be.
NickIt's like, it helps with everything else around you, but not your actual self.
ScottOh, yeah.
ScottI am now like the Grinch.
ScottSo.
ScottYeah, no, I am the least.
ScottPeople were saying I'm the least helicopter parent of all time.
ChrisI call BS on all of this because, Chris, please, you have a device that keeps you up at night monitoring if the baby is breathing and on the correct side of the bed and how many beats per minute.
ScottI let that machine do the worrying for me, right?
ChrisYeah, but how many sleepless nights did you have?
ChrisBecause maybe the batteries ran out.
ScottThere's no batteries.
ScottI even.
ScottI even hooked that thing up to a backup battery unit.
ScottScott.
ScottI thought of everything.
ScottSo I don't think I'm a helicopter parent.
ScottI think I'm a tank parent.
ScottRight?
ScottI come in from the ground, right?
ScottI'm not hovering over.
ScottI could come in from sizes.
ChrisWe're talking.
ScottI start laying, I start waging war.
NickRight?
ScottThe tank.
ScottI start waging war against any potential anxieties that I might have.
ScottRight?
ScottSo I'm buying.
ScottI'm buying the backup unit.
ScottI bought a generator.
ScottGenerator.
ScottIt was $750 on Amazon.
ScottI'm still paying it off.
ScottAnd I bought a generator to power the router, the WiFi router and the camera.
ScottSo if the power goes out, first of all, I also set an alarm on my phone that if the power gets, if the wifi gets disconnected, it will call Emily.
ScottSo wi fi gets disconnected from my phone, it triggers a chain reaction call Emily, wakes her, I don't have to deal with the baby, but it will wake her up.
ScottJust to let her know that, hey, the baby monitor might have stopped.
ScottGo check on it.
ScottYeah, so I, I'm a very ground, tactical approach with the baby.
ScottIt's like I think two steps ahead and I, I wage war against overthinking.
ScottSo I don't overthink.
ScottI under, I underthink.
ScottRight?
ScottI underthink.
ChrisGotcha.
ScottBut it's kind of crazy how I told a story last week about how I was opening garbage pal kids and on the other side of the Couch was my 5 month old baby hanging out by herself.
ScottAnd then you thought I was a helicopter parent.
ChrisWell, okay, in all, peeling back behind.
ScottThe curtain, I can even fit in a helicopter.
ChrisI had this topic picked out before you told the barrel roll off the couch story, and I was convinced that you were a helicopter parent.
ScottYeah, no, actually, and you know what?
ScottYou knew me before my anxiety medicine.
ScottI, you know, very, very good guess that it would be me to be the helicopter parent.
ScottBut no, I, I, I'm very, I'm very like, Emily gets mad at me because of how much I just let my daughter cry and whine just for like a couple minutes.
ScottNot like 10 minutes or 20 minutes.
ScottI, I think it builds character.
ChrisYeah, it suits them to sleep.
ChrisIt's fine.
ScottI looked it up.
ScottI chat GPT it.
ScottChat GBT has never been wrong.
ChrisYeah, never.
ScottThey're about, Chat GPT is about, you know, it's like the new, it's a new Google.
ScottYou just, you just ask it a question.
ChrisAnd here's the new Google.
ScottRight?
ScottSo, yeah, no, So I chat GPT.
ScottI chat GPT everything.
ScottIt's probably why I don't, I have a catalog of chat GBT answers about parenting.
ScottIt's probably why I'm, I'm like an AI parent.
ChrisOkay.
ChrisAll right, our next, our next contestant on are you a helicopter parent?
ChrisSarah, let's go to you.
ChrisSo my guess for you is you are the exact middle of a helicopter parent because you are the girl's best friend.
SarahYes, I would actually say exactly that.
SarahI was trying to think back and forth, but I would say I'm probably right down the middle because I want them to Go out and do their thing.
SarahAnd, like, I'm really not.
SarahI don't filter myself very much.
SarahAnd we let them learn all about the world and figure things out on their own.
SarahBut, I mean, if they're not right next to me and I'm looking around, I.
SarahYeah, I'm freaking out, you know?
SarahYeah, for sure.
ChrisNailed it.
ChrisOkay, now Nick.
ChrisNick is on the other extreme and is not a helicopter parent at all.
NickHow.
NickSo how do you feel?
ChrisBecause you let Piper be Piper and kind of wander a bit and explore.
NickHer surroundings, which is surprising because we had the outlet, I think it was called outlet.
NickIt's kind of the same thing that Chris had when Piper was a baby, where we were watching the heartbeat and everything.
NickIt wasn't.
NickAs technology advances, you guys have it nowadays, I guess.
NickIt's only been seven years, so a lot's changed.
ChrisWe.
NickWe did all that for.
ChrisWe just tied two strings together or two cups together with a string.
ChrisThat's all we did.
NickYou're like, we can hear it.
NickYou don't need a baby monitor.
NickYeah, well, sorry, Darren.
NickHe didn't even.
NickHe didn't need to do that for you.
ScottRight?
DarrenWhat's a.
DarrenWhat's a baby monitor?
ChrisI had to rely on the Archangel Michael to tell me what was going on with little baby Jesus.
NickYeah, I mean, I thought I was going to be that way.
NickAnd I think, like Chris said, with medication, I felt like, changed me in a way that I'm like, everything's going to be fine.
NickLike, she.
NickI remember her climbing up a ladder when she was 10 months old.
NickAnd like, that was before she could walk.
NickShe's climbing up a ladder and she's at the top and what.
NickWhat do I do?
NickI don't grab her.
NickI grab my phone to take a picture, and then I take this really cute picture and then I'm like, okay, now let's get down just to be safe.
NickSo, yeah, we've kind of let her just wander on her own and explore.
NickAnd I think she's a very comfortable person because of that.
ChrisOkay.
ChrisAll right.
ChrisAny guesses on me?
ScottOoh, I think.
NickI think you forgot you had kids.
ScottDarren.
ChrisYou can't get.
ChrisYou gotta go last.
DarrenOkay.
DarrenHeard.
ScottI think that you lean towards.
ScottYou lean towards helicopter.
ScottI think that you lean towards helicopter, but you're reluctant to do.
ScottSo you don't want to be a helicopter parent, but something deep inside you makes you be a helicopter parent.
ChrisOkay, Sarah, do you agree?
ChrisDisagree.
ChrisWhat are your thoughts?
SarahI agree, but I think you're probably More helicopter parent to the girls.
ChrisInteresting.
ChrisAll right, Nick.
ScottYeah.
NickI feel like with the first one, probably not the second child, maybe a little bit more.
NickAnd I feel like the third one was like, I got this parenting thing down now, so it's like I need to fix what I might have not done right with Darren.
ChrisAll right, Darren, what are your thoughts?
ChrisAm I a helicopter parent or no?
DarrenWell, first off, hi, I'm Darren.
DarrenI've never been on this podcast before, so, you know, nobody knows who I am.
DarrenYeah, that's true.
ChrisYou've never been on parents night out.
ChrisMy bad.
ChrisI'm sorry.
DarrenYeah, yeah.
ChrisDarren's my son, everybody.
ScottYou have a son.
NickI thought you were a girl.
DarrenAllegedly.
ChrisI had no idea.
NickWe almost called the show girl dad, too.
DarrenWell, since he forgot about me until I turned 21 years old.
ChrisOh, my God.
DarrenHe was.
DarrenHe was not a helicopter parent for me at all.
DarrenI ran the streets when I was in high school.
DarrenAbby doesn't get away with anything.
DarrenShe.
DarrenHe is very much a helicopter parent with Abby.
ChrisOkay, like, continue.
DarrenNo, I lost.
DarrenI lost the thought.
ChrisWhat is going on downstairs?
ChrisYou know?
ChrisOkay, you know, I wasn't going to talk about this tonight, but, you know, what a perfect opportunity.
ChrisSo we had to put one of my dogs down.
ChrisOkay.
ChrisAnd it was very sad.
ChrisIt was awful.
ChrisI don't want to talk a bunch about it, but the one regret that I have in this process of putting the dog down is that I didn't.
ChrisDidn't let the other dog see what we were doing so that I could be like, hey, you're next.
ChrisKeep it up, motherfuckers.
DarrenBut the company actually offered a two for one special.
DarrenWe turned it down.
ChrisYeah.
ChrisWe put one on layaway.
ScottPut the dog down.
ScottThey're used to.
ScottYou're usually used to laying the pipe down on them.
ScottTake the pipe out of the situation.
ChrisSo, okay, so here's my thoughts on my style of parenting.
ChrisOkay.
ChrisI think for Darren, I was very helpful.
ChrisHelicopter.
ChrisI didn't let him do anything outside of the bubble wrap.
ChrisI was very, very protective.
NickYou didn't change his diaper till he was, like, six.
ChrisThat's true.
ChrisThat's true.
ChrisMichaela, she does whatever she does about Michaela.
ChrisShe's the middle child.
ChrisEverybody forgets about the middle child.
ChrisAnd then Abby.
ChrisI don't know Abby.
ChrisAm I a helicopter parent?
ChrisOh, she says yes, so I guess I'm very quick.
NickYes.
ChrisThat was a very quick yes.
ChrisYeah, but you.
ChrisShe went off and did Halloween by herself.
ChrisI.
ChrisI let her watch movies with schlongs in them.
SarahOh, my God.
ChrisShe's 21.
ChrisI'm.
ChrisI'm not overly, like, protective.
DarrenYou have to get more involved with Abby than you did when I was her age, slash into high school.
ChrisOh, yeah.
ChrisYou were your mother's problem.
ChrisI know this, you know?
DarrenYeah.
DarrenMy mother was like, a whole state away.
NickSo tell us how you really feel.
NickJust let it all out.
NickThis is therapy.
DarrenNot yet I'm not.
DarrenI'm like, only a half a canon.
ChrisAll right, so.
ChrisSo there you have it.
ChrisChris is not a helicopter parent.
ChrisSarah's in the middle of being a helicopter parent.
ChrisNick is kind of, but kind of not.
ChrisAnd apparently I'm.
ChrisI am.
ChrisSo there you.
ChrisThere you have it.
ChrisSpeaking of being very protective of one's children and all that, I'm happy to say that Chris has gotten rid of his aunts.
ChrisAll ants are gone.
ScottYeah.
ScottSo, you know, I didn't.
ScottI haven't talked about this for about a year now.
ScottThe ants have retreated.
ScottThey did make one final push a couple weeks ago, and we took them out swiftly.
ScottWe killed suckers and losers like a dog, so.
ScottOh, my gosh.
ScottI hope you didn't think I meant.
ScottI hope.
ScottI hope you didn't think I meant.
ChrisYou're good.
ChrisYou're fine.
ScottThere was a.
ScottIt was a quote.
ScottDo you ever see the video of Obama talking about killing the terrorists?
ScottThat Trump killing the terrorist?
ScottAnd then Obama's like, we have terminated assault.
ScottAnd then Trump's like, we killed him like a dog.
ScottThat's what I.
ChrisThat's.
ChrisThat's.
ScottThat's what I was meant.
ScottAnd then as soon as I said it, I was like, oh, my God.
ScottI hope you didn't think that was a joke.
ScottOh, my gosh.
ScottOh, my God.
DarrenAlex, cut that.
ScottOkay.
ScottWow.
ScottNever accidentally made a really offensive joke like that before.
ScottWell, it's probably once or twice, but.
SarahAnyway, so I do it every day per episode.
ScottWow.
ScottSo one final push by the ants.
ScottThey're done.
ScottThey called in reinforcements.
ScottSo apparently, apparently, you know, we have allies.
ScottWe have allies, you know, across.
ScottAround the world of Canada.
ScottWe have Israel, we have England.
ScottWell, the ants apparently have fleas.
ChrisYou know who doesn't have fleas?
ChrisMy dead dog.
ScottOh, my God.
DarrenHoly.
ScottThat's fact track.
ScottIt's true, actually.
ScottTrue.
ChrisThose things were incinerated right off.
ChrisThat's how you get rid of fleas, Chris.
ScottI've got.
ScottWriting all this down, actually.
SarahNow I'm starting to get offended.
SarahOkay.
ScottYeah.
ScottSo I never saw a flea in my Life.
ScottStill haven't, actually, but I'll explain that later.
ScottWe are at.
ScottWe were out a couple weeks ago and we get a text from the groomer that we take our dog to.
ScottBecause we don't have a mobile groomer.
ScottWe're not flush like that like Scott.
ScottSo we had to take our, take our dog to the groomer.
ChrisI just got a 25 discount from my groomer.
ChrisOh, God.
NickAnd the dogs are pissed too.
ScottSo I got a text from the groomer that she found a couple of fleas on our dog.
ScottAnd Emily starts freaking out immediately.
ScottI didn't, I was, we were at actually full transparency.
ScottWe're at a flea market.
ScottI'm looking at Pokemon cards, so I could care less.
ScottI got the baby in one arm now because Emily's texting ferociously and I got the baby in one hand.
ScottI got like Pikachu's in the other.
ScottSo I'm looking through the cards.
ScottShe's talking about fleas.
ScottI don't know what fleas do.
ScottI just know that they exist in life.
ScottI have no idea what kind of business they do.
ScottI don't know what kind of things they do.
ScottSo anyway, Emily's freaking out.
ScottShe comes home, incinerates the house of the fleas, eviscerates the house of the fleas.
ScottI don't know why my mom went to mine, went there.
ScottSo Scott's planting all these horrible seeds.
ScottSo we're good.
ScottThe fleas are gone.
ScottThere's no longer on my dog.
ScottShe's got a buzz cut now.
ChrisAnd thank you for your service.
ScottUntil a few days ago, I did actually give her a buzz cut because we took her to IHOP today, the free meal.
ScottI walked, I walked in, I walked into IHOP today and I said, you're the free meal for veterans, right?
ScottYeah.
ScottWhen did you serve?
ScottI said, call of duty.
ScottModern Warfare 3 prestige.
ScottSo anyway, so the other day, I'm out to dinner with King Mike X and Emily texts me and says, need your help.
ScottIt's at 7:30 at night.
ScottI'm like, can't really help eating this burger and drinking this beer, but what do you need?
ScottAnd so when I came home, we, I, I helped her clean the whole living room.
ScottShe found a flea.
ScottAnd I, I just don't understand the overreaction of the fleas.
ScottI don't get it.
ScottI still haven't seen one.
ScottSo I don't even know if these things exist.
ScottI, you know, I've learned to coexist with ants.
ScottI don't see Why?
ScottI can't learn to coexist with fleas.
ChrisThey are so annoying.
ChrisThey will eat the.
ChrisOut of your ankle.
ChrisThey are so hard to get rid of.
ScottOkay, okay.
NickAnd I think about hairy guy Chris.
ChrisSo, yeah, I, like, I'm shocked that this is the first time that you personally have had fleas.
ScottI.
ScottBut think about it, think about it, think about it.
ScottSo, okay, worst case scenario, the fleas are here.
ScottOh, the fleas are in the house.
ScottThey've infested.
ScottThere's thousands of.
ScottThey bite your ankles.
ScottThat's it.
ChrisWell, they can.
ChrisLyme disease, I think now.
ScottI think that's a.
ScottI think that's a.
ScottBut think about liberal propaganda.
ChrisOh, that is what they'll do to the baby.
DarrenThey might just bite your ankle.
DarrenBut her ankle is like, this big.
ScottShe'll never remember it.
ChrisBut okay, but in all seriousness, your dog could ingest this and then it becomes a.
ChrisLike a tapeworm or something.
ScottYeah, I don't think that's how.
ScottI don't think that's how that works.
ChrisThat's exactly how it works.
ScottSo tapeworms are from fleas.
ChrisThere's a type of worm that is the flea that has evolved.
ChrisThe flea evolves into a worm of some sort.
DarrenChris, take it from him.
DarrenHe's got a dead dog.
ChrisThat's true.
ScottSo I need to fact check this.
ScottI just asked Chatgpt what the percent chances that my dog digests a flea and it turns into a tapeworm.
ScottLikelihood is relatively high.
ScottOh.
ChrisOh, thank you.
ScottWow.
ChrisThere you go.
ScottHowever, the exact percentage chance varies based on factors whether the flea actually contains the tapeworm larva and the overall health of your dog.
ScottSo I don't have any problems there.
ScottShe's relatively healthy.
ChrisOkay.
ChrisSo is Donald Trump.
ScottI.
ScottShe does drink a lot of diet Coke, so maybe.
ChrisSo speaking of which, is it just me, or is anybody else praying for a heart attack before inauguration Day?
ChrisJust putting that out there.
NickI mean, I'm.
NickI'm praying for anything, like, for you.
DarrenTo have a heart attack.
SarahI'm a Canadian citizen.
ChrisThat's true.
SarahIt'll be fine.
ScottI'm just glad my sewer sale did not go through, Scott, which I don't know if he talked about on the podcast, so we should probably cut that anyway.
ChrisBut the fleas are here.
ScottI said, I'm just glad that my sewer sale didn't go through.
ScottThat was my big ticket on my ballot.
ChrisOh, we'll get there.
ChrisYeah, yeah, yeah.
ChrisWe'll get there.
ChrisWe'll get there.
ScottYeah, yeah.
ScottGuess who Won't American water never get here?
ScottSo anyway, yeah, so, like, okay, big whoop.
ScottThe fleas come.
ScottThey come.
ScottThey bite my ankle a couple times.
ScottI'm not too worried.
ScottBring on the fleas.
ScottBut they actually probably won't care because we gassed the whole house.
ScottThe whole.
ScottThe whole house is gassed completely.
ScottJust.
ChrisI don't know that you can say that on this podcast.
ChrisWe.
ChrisIt's 2024.
ChrisYou can't talk about gassing anything.
ScottI feel like.
NickI feel like anything.
NickI feel like we're allowed to say anything at this point now that after the election.
ScottSo we exterminated.
NickNothing's.
ChrisSarah, please help Chris with appropriate words that he can use in this scenario.
SarahOh, it's 2024.
SarahEverything's offensive.
NickHe said goodbye to the bugs peacefully and asked them nicely to leave his house.
ScottThey have parted ways with me indefinitely.
ScottSo, speaking of bugs, guys, speaking of bugs.
ScottKilling bugs, extermination of bugs.
ScottSo weird thing happened the other day.
ScottI.
ScottEmily sprayed for the ants, which killed them.
ScottShe sprayed around the house.
ScottThis.
ScottI don't know, insecticide.
ScottBut anyway, so the next day she goes out and there's thousands of dead bugs.
ScottRest in peace.
ScottOne of those dead bugs was a black widow spider.
ScottDo you guys know what that is?
ChrisYes, we do.
DarrenScarlett Johansson.
ScottYeah, Black widow.
ScottAnd so instantly, it's dead.
ScottSo I instantly picked it up and put its fangs on me, trying to get powers.
ScottSo, no.
ScottSo Emily puts it in a little jar and she texted to me.
ScottShe's like, oh, my gosh, it's a black widow.
SarahIt's not.
ScottThat's not a black widow.
ScottStop.
ScottAnd it is.
ScottIt's, in fact, a black widow.
ScottIt has the red hourglass and everything.
ChrisWhy did you put it in a jar?
ChrisScience experiments.
ScottI think she.
ScottYeah, so it gets weirder.
ScottSo the glass jar is, like the least weird part of the story, actually.
ScottSo.
ScottSo she puts it in a glass jar with the lid on it.
ScottAnd.
ScottOf course not.
ScottHer name is Bernice.
ScottSo Bernice is in this jar now.
ScottAnd a day goes by.
ScottIt's actually 36 hours.
ScottAt least.
ScottAt least a day and a half.
ChrisYou know how you get ants leave a dead insect around?
ScottOh, yeah.
ScottThat's probably why we have so many ants.
ScottWe killed all the people, the things that eat them.
ScottSo I gotta get an aardvark or something.
ScottSo.
ScottNo, actually, it's not an aura, because an anteater.
ScottYeah, it's literally called an ant eater.
ChrisRight, Right.
DarrenNo, they're two different things.
ScottOkay.
ScottBoth start with A's.
ScottI don't see color.
ScottSo it's very hard for me to differentiate between ant eaters at aardvark.
ScottSo, anyway, black widow is in a.
ScottI got very.
ScottA very small jar.
ScottNot a lot of oxygen in there for this dead black widow.
ScottI come downstairs the next morning, and I'm like, wait a second.
ScottToy Story could be real.
ScottWake up.
ScottAnd like, the toys in a different thing.
ScottI wake up, and this dead spider is now in a different position.
ChrisOh, right.
ScottSo, like, it's an inanimate object now.
ScottIt's coming to life.
ScottSo I start shaking it.
ScottIt starts walking around.
ScottSo now, first of all, how is it breathing in there?
ScottDo spiders breathe?
ScottI assume they breathe.
ScottI assume they breathe.
ScottSo how is it breathing in this little jar that's airtight?
ScottSo now I start to feel bad.
ScottI start to feel bad because now we tried to kill this thing with the insecticide.
ScottIt has survived.
ScottI feel like I owe it another chance at life.
ChrisDo you know why the insecticide didn't kill it?
ScottNo.
ChrisBecause a spider is an arachnid.
ChrisYou have to use arachnicide.
RyanNo.
ScottOh, no.
ScottChatgpt said, that's bullshit, Scott.
ScottI just looked it up.
ScottSo naturally, I was like, I can't let this thing out my house.
ScottUsually if I catch a spider inside, I throw it out the door.
ScottBut now this thing could kill my dog.
ScottRight?
ScottOh, gosh.
ScottI keep bringing this up.
ScottBut anyway, so.
ScottAnd you know what that's like, Scott?
ScottWe can't have that happen.
ScottSo I.
ScottI literally put the.
ScottThe black widow, Bernice, in my passenger seat, and I drove it down the street to the forest, and I take the lid off and I dump it.
ScottAnd at first, it didn't go out, so I shook it, right, and totally lost the spider.
ScottAnd for, like, five seconds, I was freaking out, thinking, oh, my gosh, is it on?
ScottIs it on me?
ScottIs it on me?
ScottKind of wondering what it would be like to be bit by one, but at the same time thinking, I do have a daughter now, and I do owe her a more.
ScottA more honorable death.
ChrisSo.
ScottSo I did watch it.
ScottI supervised it crow into the forest.
ScottBut, yeah, so I don't know, bird, anybody else on this earth that caught a venomous, potentially fatal spider and then just released.
ScottI.
ScottI said.
ScottI said to my mom, I was like, why didn't you just kill it?
ScottIt didn't choose to be venomous.
ScottIt was born that way.
ScottAnd I felt like Lady Gaga as I.
ScottI was blasting Born this way, as I went to release this spider.
ScottSo if I did do that now, it would have been illegal because catching the release is now illegal.
ScottIt's very funny.
ScottBut anyway.
ScottYeah.
ScottSo there's a black widow.
ScottDeadly black widow spider somewhere down the street now, though.
ScottThat's my neighbor's problem.
ScottBut it's not dead.
ChrisOh, God.
ChrisYeah.
ChrisSpeaking of making.
ChrisWas that it?
ScottWow.
ChrisNo, sorry.
ChrisI was going to transition.
ScottHe knocked on my door the next day, actually, and came back.
ChrisSo it's been this kid swinging around.
ScottShooting webs out of his.
ScottOut of his wrist the past few days.
ScottSure.
ScottIt's totally unrelated, though.
ChrisSo do you still have fleas?
ScottI don't think so.
ScottI put a light bulb out, and there's none under the light bulb.
ChrisWell, that's good.
ChrisThat's good.
ScottYeah.
DarrenWhat?
ScottI don't know.
ScottI just looked it up.
ScottChat put a light bulb out in the middle of the room.
NickJust a random light bulb.
ScottYeah.
ChrisTurn the light bulb on.
ChrisOr you just.
ScottI just figure, like, if that's actually a good question, I probably should plug it in.
ScottHuh?
NickOr maybe.
NickMaybe you're supposed to stand there, like, one leg in the air and hold it up with your right hand, but facing to the north.
ScottYeah, I'll try that tonight after we get off.
ScottI'll try that for a few hours.
ScottNo, I just assumed that I came downstairs and they were doing, like, a cult ritual, holding hands, skipping around the light.
ScottThe light bulb, that.
ScottThat, like, that's how they would be.
ScottYeah, you definitely have fleas if that happens.
ChrisOh, boy.
ChrisSo speak.
ChrisSpeaking of, that's your neighbor's problem.
ChrisSo there was a major vote in your community, Chris, this.
ChrisThis election term, like very presidential election.
ChrisVery important things on the ballot.
ChrisThe presidential election.
ChrisYes.
ChrisWhich, by the way, one of my conservative friends put on Facebook, like, after he hired his.
ChrisWhat, the Secretary of state or the chief of staff.
ChrisChief of staff.
ChrisAnd it's a woman.
ChrisIt's like, oh, look, glass roofs being busted and all that.
ChrisAnd I'm like.
ChrisThat's like saying, I'm not racist.
ChrisI voted for Obama.
ChrisLike, come on.
ChrisAnyway, so.
ChrisBut there was a lot of major things on your ballot, as were ours, but yours probably had the biggest.
ChrisSo you want to.
ChrisYou want to talk about that real quick?
ScottYeah.
ScottI mean, the stuff on your brow wasn't nearly as important as mine.
ScottI know you had something like, I don't know, abortion or something.
ScottI don't know, Legalization.
ChrisMarijuana.
ScottYeah.
ScottMarijuana as well.
ScottYeah.
ScottCongratulations on that.
ScottI'm sure that pass with flying colors.
ChrisIt did not.
ScottIt did not.
ChrisNo.
SarahNope.
DarrenFailed.
ChrisEven though it had the majority vote.
ChrisIt had the majority vote failed.
DarrenBut don't worry, we can hunt any game and fish in the state of Florida.
ScottPerfect.
ChrisYes.
ScottWe can hunt some.
ScottHunt some hunt and gather some mushrooms.
ScottBut anyway, so on my ballot there was the sale for the sewer utility, which, you know, 10 years ago, I'd be like, you know, that's the dumbest thing of the.
ScottLaughing at my parents for.
ScottFor supporting, thinking that was that big of a deal.
ScottI have a house now.
ScottI.
ScottI pay a sewer utility bill.
ScottHow much is it?
ScottI have no idea.
ScottIt comes out of my checking account.
ScottComes out of something every quarter.
ScottBut I read on Facebook, which is 100% reliable all of the time, that if the sewer utility was sold, our rates would go up exponentially.
ScottAnd the main reason why I voted against the sale of the sewer utility is because the township told me to vote yes, like, for the sale.
NickOkay.
ScottAnd like, I don't know, something's a little fishy about, like, imagine the government texting you and be like, make sure you vote for this.
ChrisLike.
ScottLike.
ScottLike.
ScottYeah, when the government's telling me to do something, I usually do the opposite.
ChrisYeah, right.
ChrisI got a conservative newsletter of, like, what to vote for, so I voted.
ScottFor all the opposite.
ScottThe.
ScottThe.
ScottMy general rule of thumb is the people that.
ScottThat charge me taxes on everything, I usually decide against what they tell me to do, especially when they tax me on those things, and then I never get anything in return for them.
ScottSo anyway, they.
ScottThe big pitch.
ScottI got the big pitch a couple days before.
ScottBefore the election from the township.
ScottThey sent out a piece of paper to everybody, which is probably a tax write off.
ScottSo they're pretty scummy, though.
ScottI probably paid for that.
ScottThat to be.
ScottPaid that to be.
NickDidn't text you a million times like they arrested.
ChrisOh, my God, they did.
ScottThey texted me a million times and then they sent a letter in the mail just in case I didn't get the text.
ChrisI don't.
ChrisI miss those texts.
ChrisThose are the only texts I get in a day.
ChrisSo I'm feeling very alone right now.
ScottThe.
ChrisNormally I would snuggle up to Brantley, but he's not here anymore, so.
ChrisOh, my God, is that the dog.
NickYou just put down?
ChrisYeah.
DarrenYes.
ScottOh, my gosh.
ScottSorry.
ScottTo clarify the letter that they're.
ScottThey're big push their big pitch.
ScottThey said, here's all the reasons you should vote against the sale.
ScottI would vote for the sale of the sewer.
Scott365 day a year, sewage cleanouts.
ScottIf your sewage gets blocked, which is something the township already offers.
ScottOkay, so that was the first thing.
ScottThe second thing was it will get the township out of debt.
ScottI didn't put you in debt.
ScottWhy, why, why would I vote?
ScottLike, okay, I go to the polling station and I see.
ScottAnd I'm thinking, oh, my gosh, this would be so great if a township could get out of debt.
ScottLike, what?
ChrisI have.
ScottNo, I have no problem with already on my.
ScottThe one of the highest property taxes in the country.
ScottYou know, let's.
ScottLet's get this township out of debt.
ScottLet's get the.
ScottI'm sure they accidentally spent the money.
NickCan we just go on a ballot ourselves and be like, I need out of debt.
NickLike, can you guys vote for it?
NickCan I do that now, too?
ChrisDarren, I'll nominate you if you'd like.
DarrenOh, thank you.
ScottThe third thing, potentially lowering or freezing property taxes.
ScottI was like, that's the most thing ever.
ScottPotentially lowering or freezing property taxes.
ScottOkay.
ScottSo it was a big no for me, dog.
ScottAnd it was a big no from an overwhelming 75 of the population as well.
ScottI am hearing whispers that they're still going to sell it anyway.
ScottAnd that was just kind of like a.
ScottA kind of just like public approval type thing.
ScottSo we will.
ScottWe will touch base on that when that happens.
ScottBut before we do, you know what.
NickYou guys didn't vote for this time?
ScottWhat?
NickThe fact that my rights are.
NickMy rights are probably gonna be taken away.
NickSo you know what?
NickI'm gonna just enjoy it while I can.
NickMove.
NickI'm gay.
ChrisNick's on the mic, so it's time to take notice.
ScottAnd if you don't like it, that's homophobic.
ScottStay the hell out of his way.
ScottMove.
ScottI'm gay.
ChrisI don't know if we could play that song anymore.
NickI think we can.
NickUntil January 20th, I think is when the transition, which apparently they don't call it transitioning anymore.
NickYeah, you can only do that in elementary schools, I think is what he said.
ScottNo, you send your kids to school, they come back mutilated again.
NickI'm like, I just want my child to read right now.
NickBut I just wanted to.
NickI just want you to move because I'm done talking about politics and you're voting.
NickSo let's talk about me being gay and a cheer coach.
ChrisYes.
ChrisHow is the cheer coaching going?
NickYou haven't asked, so thank you for asking because it's.
NickIt's going Good.
NickWe had our very first official competition.
NickSo last week I talked about it.
NickWe had an expo the week before.
NickWe did amazing.
NickWe had our first competition.
NickWe got eighth place.
ChrisOh, nice job.
ChrisOut of eight, that's my favorite number.
NickSo.
NickYeah, it's.
NickWe did really.
NickI think we did good.
NickI mean, it's first and second graders and getting their attention for three minutes is.
NickIt's very difficult.
ChrisWell, seven other teams had their attention just fine.
NickYeah, we.
NickWe had good scores.
NickIt might be a homophobic thing.
NickMaybe they saw a male coach and they're just like, can't, can't do it anymore.
NickI don't know.
ChrisThat's totally.
DarrenJust not gay enough.
NickMaybe I need to be gayer.
NickI didn't have my glitter on this week.
NickThat's why.
NickThat's why last week I had facial glitter.
NickSo that's what I was missing.
ScottIs that what we call it now?
ScottOh, for the cheer competition.
NickI'm sorry.
NickFor the first school stuff, we have to call it facial glitter.
NickAnd that's the topic or the highlight of the episode.
NickWe.
NickWe did good.
NickIt was fun.
NickThere was literally.
NickThere was eight teams of minis there.
NickLike, that's a lot of first and second graders cheering.
ScottYeah.
NickAnd.
NickAnd I'll be honest, like ours, I think our difficulty level of music that we had was a lot harder.
NickSome other schools decided to choose a one minute song.
NickWe went with two minutes.
ScottOh.
NickSo to be fair, I feel like we had.
ChrisSo you bored the judges.
NickWe had better music.
NickWe had.
NickOh, we had Disney music.
NickAnd we're the only ones too that had Disney music.
NickSo let me picture it.
Nick2024 at a cheerleading competition.
NickAll these kids that are in first and second grade, they're doing remixes of Gwen Stefani, Britney Spears, Spice Girls, Great Escape.
NickAnd there was.
NickNot that.
NickThat would have been a good one.
NickMaybe we'll change it for this weekend.
ScottPlease.
ScottYou'll get in seventh place.
NickAt least we did Disney.
NickAnd it was like a Disney medley of fun songs.
ChrisAnd this was your first problem.
ChrisYou're playing Disney songs in a red state.
ChrisRepublicans hate Disney.
NickBut Ohio people love Disney.
DarrenIs that part of your contract of being earmarked?
DarrenYou have to work?
NickYeah, I have to work Disney and wherever I can.
NickSo, yeah, it was hard to tell the kids that we didn't win a trophy.
NickThey all got participation awards.
NickIt's all about having fun.
NickAnd as long as we had fun, it was all that mattered.
NickAnd I have some awesome videos of me dancing with the kids while we're Waiting for the announcements to be called.
NickWe had lots of meltdowns that morning.
NickKids were crying because their makeup itched or they just wanted to see their.
ChrisParents or someone looked at them funny.
NickSomebody looked, yeah.
NickIt was everything.
NickAnything and everything.
NickSo it's, it's been a, it's been a struggle, but it's been a fun journey.
NickHopefully we have our very last competition this weekend and it is on Piper's birthday, which is amazing.
NickSo I feel like that should be a bonus point there.
ScottBut you have to lie and tell her they came in first.
NickOh, yeah.
NickI'm just going to tell her and I'll buy her.
NickI'll buy her a trophy.
NickCan Amazon somebody Amazon me one real quick.
NickIt's getting delivered to our house.
ScottElse.
NickYeah, it's been a lot of fun.
NickI mean, I'm sad because it's.
NickThis next competition is our very last cheerleading for the season.
NickSo we'll be taking a break until next summer.
ChrisYou've only had three.
NickWe had three competitions.
NickWhat?
NickWe did the entire football season, too.
ChrisOh, okay.
NickSo it was football, football season and a competition.
NickNow they're getting the basketball season, which we're taking a break because I, I need, I need a life a little bit.
NickI missed having friends talking to you guys.
NickI feel like I haven't seen you in months because of cheerleading has evolved my life, my daughter's life.
NickSo I'm excited for a break, but I'm loving it, though.
ChrisAwesome.
ChrisWell, enjoy that break.
NickThank you.
NickI will enjoy it while I can.
NickAnd hopefully I'm still allowed to be gay after January 20th.
ChrisI hope so.
NickStay tuned.
ChrisAll right, let's check in with Giles Garmin, see what's up with him.
GilesAnd now it's time for the more you know.
GilesAnd here's your host, Giles Garman.
GilesHello, Giles Garmin here, letting you know that on the next episode of in the Disneyverse, you can hear all about the first ever films made by Walt Disney.
GilesThat's right.
GilesBefore there was a mouse, there was a rabbit.
GilesAnd before there was a rabbit, there was a cat.
GilesAnd before that.
GilesWell, you'll have to listen to the episode of into the Disneyverse to find out all about that.
GilesOne of the interesting things noted about Oswald the lucky rabbit is how often he tries to find romantic connections with individuals other than his direct romantic connection in the film.
GilesThe type of thing that you often need to take off the summer to try to figure out.
RyanWe're getting side reeled.
GilesAs a reminder, you can go ahead and check out into The Disneyverse on all podcasting platforms.
GilesThat's D I Z N E Y V E R S e.
GilesAnd that's all from me, Giles Garmin.
ChrisThank you, Giles Garmin.
ChrisAnd you can check out Chris and game master Ryan and sophisticated gentleman.
ChrisAnd Alex, our producer on every episode of the Disney Verse.
ChrisSo, Sarah, right before we started recording, you had some excitement in your neighborhood.
SarahI thought.
SarahI got very excited because I thought I heard the ice cream truck, which only comes on Thursdays, so it was going to be an anomaly, but I was.
SarahI was very excited for it.
ScottSarah, sounds like you got ice cream cooked.
NickThey tricked you.
SarahThey did.
SarahThey did.
NickWas it there?
NickNo.
NickSo no, we didn't have an ice cream.
SarahNo.
SarahLewis had some music playing that.
SarahI still want to know what it was that it made me think.
SarahIt was the ice cream truck.
ScottGasolina by Daddy Yankee.
SarahNo, I know that one real well.
ChrisSo, Sarah, what is your go to ice cream?
SarahChocolate ice cream, Peanut butter sauce, hot fudge, chocolate sprinkles from the ice cream truck.
ScottWhat?
SarahYes.
NickI've never heard of an ice cream truck that has, like, soft serve.
NickOh, usually they pass out like plastic popsicles.
SarahNo, no, no.
SarahOkay, so we have an ice cream shop that's around the corner from us and they make homemade ice cream and one night out of the week they have the truck that goes around.
SarahAnd I.
SarahThis is just another reason why I love that we moved out here, because we don't get ice cream trucks in apartment complexes.
DarrenSo Sarah just waits for her cream one day a week.
DarrenGot it.
SarahFirst of all, I don't have to wait for anything.
SarahOkay.
SarahJust look up and I got it.
NickSeven days a week as she sips her coffee or whatever with like a frog, like spread eagle on her cuff there.
NickWhat's going on with that?
SarahActually, that does look a little funny now that we're looking at it like that.
ScottIt is a frog.
SarahIt's a co key frog from the bedroom.
ScottIt's a cocky.
ScottThat was a really bad joke.
ScottI'm sorry.
ChrisIt's.
SarahI mean, it was accurate.
ScottIt works.
NickI need this kind of excitement of ice cream in my life.
NickLike, I would get excited for that ice cream truck.
NickOurs is like a creepy old van that drives around playing creepy music, selling a popsicle with gumballs for the eyeballs.
ChrisI love those, though.
ChrisThe spongebob one or the Captain America one?
NickDid when I was six.
NickYes.
ChrisBecause Spider man has two gumballs and.
DarrenThe face is always like the one gumball's like up here.
DarrenAnd the Other one's like, down here.
NickYeah, it melded at one point.
NickIt's fine.
ChrisIt's fine.
ChrisFine with that.
ChrisAnd the flavoring is so good.
ChrisIt's not like.
ChrisIt's not like your regular popsicle that's like watered down.
ChrisThis is like, I don't know, like frozen frosting.
ChrisIt's amazing.
NickSarah sounds better.
NickWhat other do they.
NickSo is it like a full ice cream bar?
NickBasically.
SarahThen like everything.
SarahIce cream sandwiches, homemade shakes, root beer floats, like the whole thing.
SarahThey even do like, homemade ice cream tacos.
SarahThose have it.
SarahThose have a name, don't they?
SarahSo they have like homemade ones.
SarahYes.
NickAnd if you want to book your trip to Florida, contact me at same.
NickI am about to head down there just for this ice cream.
SarahThere you go.
SarahAnd only 45 minutes from Disney.
SarahSo, you know, that's a win.
SarahWin.
SarahYou got to add that in there.
SarahWe know this.
ChrisI'll hear the.
ChrisThere's one specific ice cream truck that comes in my neighborhood that plays like the traditional ice cream truck song, but it's like a remix.
ChrisAnd it's like that.
ChrisI'm not a very good beatboxer, but that's essentially the song.
SarahThat's like the tick tock remix of.
SarahOf Beethoven or Mozart or whoever.
ChrisYeah, exactly.
ChrisThe song's fair, Elise, but it's a remix.
ChrisIt's a t.
ChrisYeah, TikTok version of it.
ChrisSo when I know that that one's there, I turn off all my lights and pretend I'm not home.
ChrisBecause I did go outside for that one one time and they're.
ChrisThe cheapest thing they had was like 20 bucks.
DarrenOh, my God.
ChrisYeah, but it was like.
ChrisIt was like acai bowls.
ChrisBut it was so good.
ChrisIt was so sweet.
SarahThat's why they're driving through your neighborhood.
ChrisThat's true.
ChrisThat's true.
ChrisYeah.
ChrisThey don't have any choco tacos on.
ChrisOn that truck.
DarrenI would kill for a choco taco.
DarrenI'm depressed.
NickWho isn't depressed?
ChrisNick, what's your.
ChrisWhat's your go to ice cream on the ice cream truck?
NickI mean, if we're talking Sarah's ice cream truck, that's like chocolate peanut butter is my flavor.
NickI don't know.
NickI.
NickI like the classic, like the red, white and blue ones.
ChrisOh, the firecracker ones.
DarrenThe bomb pops.
NickYeah, yeah.
ChrisOh, the bomb pops.
ChrisYeah.
DarrenWell, no, we're.
DarrenNever mind.
NickIs it better?
NickI like a good ice cream sandwich, but our ice cream sandwiches are like the pre made ones, so they're not Fancy.
ChrisOh, not the homemade.
NickYeah.
ChrisNow, Chris, you can only pick one because I know your go to would be yes.
ChrisOr just the ice cream truck.
ChrisWhat is your one?
ChrisGun to your head.
ChrisYou can only pick one chocolate milkshake.
ChrisOh, yeah.
ScottI'm a milkshake guy.
NickDoes it bring all the boys to the yard?
ScottI try.
DarrenI'm right.
ScottI try my hard.
ScottI try my.
ChrisI'm a milkshake guy, too, Chris.
ChrisMy favorite time of year is around St.
ChrisPatrick's Day at McDonald's.
ScottOh, my gosh, the shamrock shake.
ScottMy sister text me as soon as it's there.
ScottShamrock shake.
ScottI also.
ScottI can eat peanut butter from the jar, so I love getting peanut butter milkshakes with vanilla ice cream, so it just tastes like I'm drinking a.
ScottA peanut butter jar.
ScottA peanut butter jar.
DarrenA peanut butter jar.
ScottA jar of peanut butter.
ScottThere we go.
NickA jar of peanut butter.
ScottI almost had it.
ScottI almost had it.
ChrisSarah, you don't like the shamrock shake?
SarahNo, because I don't like that mint syrup that they add.
ScottI'm a for it.
DarrenWell, that mint syrup doesn't like you either.
SarahLike.
SarahWell, then that's fine, because screw the shamrock shake.
SarahI would.
ChrisI would.
ScottI would definitely screw a shamrock shake.
ScottI'm a shamrock shake slut.
SarahChick Fil.
SarahA peppermint milkshake with the chunks of peppermint in it.
SarahCome on.
SarahI know, I know.
SarahI.
SarahI'm not allowed to shop at Hobby Lobby because they're anti Semitic.
SarahBut, you know, we sometimes.
SarahYou are certain.
SarahThere are certain reasons that we go to certain places.
SarahAnd Chick Fil.
SarahA's got the peppermint milkshake.
ScottThose Christians make great chicken.
DarrenYeah, they do.
NickI tried the shamrock shake for the first time last year since I was probably a teenager.
NickIt's awful.
NickI don't remember it being.
NickI thought it was good.
NickI remember when I was good, but maybe it's just because.
NickIs it the one time of year that the shake machine works?
ChrisWell, I only get one a year because it only works for, like, five minutes now.
ChrisOkay, Chris, are you a McFlurry guy or a milkshake guy?
ScottMilkshake guy.
ScottAll the way.
ScottChocolate milkshake from McDonald's is like the.
ScottLike the forbidden fruit in the Garden of Eden for me.
ScottThat's.
ScottThat's my vegetable, by the way.
ScottIce cream.
ChrisYeah, but then the ice cream sundaes at McDonald's are not that good.
ScottI love them.
ScottThe hot fudge sundaes.
ScottHot fudge sundaes from McDonald's.
ScottAre elite.
ScottBut also, I don't know if this makes me a little gay or not.
ScottMaybe not because it's cold, but I love, love that feeling of the milkshake sliding down my throat.
ScottLike I have to chug milkshakes.
ScottI love chugging the milkshakes.
ScottGetting the feeling.
ScottSacrifice, the brain freeze.
NickUsually it's.
NickUsually it's warm when it goes on back your throat, Chris.
ScottAnd then I get a tummy ache.
ScottBut it's all.
ScottIt's all part of the experience and I love it.
ScottTummy ache, back of my throat.
ScottMaybe I.
ScottSo I'm not, I'm not that gay.
NickNo.
NickIf it's, if it's cold, you're not gay.
ScottOkay.
ScottAll right, cool.
ScottSo, I mean, not cool.
ScottI'm not homophobic, but I mean, like, I would definitely be open.
ScottI mean, because I'm not homophobic.
ScottThat's what I'm trying to say.
ChrisOkay.
NickYou have a gay friend.
ScottI have a gay friend.
ChrisYou guys ready to play Jersey Man?
ChrisFlorida Man?
ScottYeah.
ScottYeah.
SarahYes.
DarrenI guess I don't like ice cream.
ScottTo be honest, Scott probably forgot you were here.
DarrenI think you did too.
ScottWouldn't be the first.
SarahThat makes me feel better this time.
ChrisThese states are filled with people who suck, so it's time for us to.
ScottPlay New Jersey man versus Florida man.
ChrisEvery week, game master Ryan brings us two news stories.
ChrisOne is from New Jersey, one is from Florida.
ChrisIt is up to us to decide which one is which.
ChrisTake it away, Ryan.
RyanHi, this is Ryan, you're in the field news reporter for the Paris Night out news team.
RyanAnd I am live in the streets getting people's reaction to the 2024 election.
RyanHow about you, sir?
RyanApparently still dressed in your Halloween costume has GRU from Despicable Me.
RyanYou look upset.
RyanAre you upset from the recent election or what is bothering you?
ChrisI'm Scott.
ChrisI've got three kids.
ChrisI've got two baby mamas.
ChrisI'm divorced, but also I am kind of an idiot.
ChrisIt.
RyanWow, that's a.
RyanThat's a lot to take in there.
RyanI'd be sad and depressed too.
RyanYou also mentioned that you had a.
RyanYou had a podcast.
RyanWhat was the name of that podcast, sir?
ChrisLarge Wallace and his squad.
RyanAh, well, by the by the looks of it, looks like you're playing Wallace in that particular program.
RyanSir, were you happy with the way the election went this year?
ChrisThat's a three quarter of a million dollar home behind us.
RyanWell, gee, sir, you could have just said yes.
RyanYou didn't have to brag.
RyanAbout how big your house is.
RyanWell, how do you feel about those that voted for Kamala, sir?
ChrisDum dums and the suckers.
RyanWell, that's about as mature as I expected you to be.
RyanSo how did you celebrate with Trump's win?
ScottSchwarz in my face.
RyanAll right, well, that's one way to celebrate.
RyanI don't think too many Trump supporters celebrated that way.
RyanBut you do you?
RyanWe're gonna move on to this homeless looking Peter Dinklage over here.
RyanSir, just for starters, do you have any clean underwear?
ScottPretty crusty, I'm not gonna lie.
RyanOf course, sir.
RyanThe listeners at home can hear how smelly those are.
RyanSurely you're.
RyanYou're unemployed.
RyanSo who did you work for before you became homeless?
ScottBarman Bailey Circus, which has been canceled.
RyanAh, I see.
RyanThat makes absolutely perfect sense.
RyanDo you want to share who you voted for this year?
ScottLarge Wallace and his squad.
RyanAgain with this Large Wallace guy.
RyanAnyway, sir, I can't stand to look at you anymore, so we're going to move ahead to this nice Jewish lady over here.
RyanMa'am, what did you think of about the election?
RyanGreat.
RyanNot this again, man.
RyanShe's about as talkative as Kamala Harris was after she found out she lost to Trump.
RyanLast time I heard of someone taking so long to address their supporters was when Scott lost to a ghost podcast in Orlando Weekly.
RyanAnyways, that's enough of this election stuff.
RyanLet's get into this week's Florida man of Jersey.
ChrisMan.
RyanAnd for our first story, a man is arrested for throwing rocks at vehicles.
RyanAnd for our second story, a man robs a donut shop for $7.
ChrisFirst of all, what.
ScottIs.
ScottWhat.
ScottWhy are we talking Large Wallace?
ScottWhat is that?
ScottWas that AI?
ChrisI think it was AI because it was both of us saying the exact same thing.
ScottOh, yeah, ChatGPT just told me it was AI.
ScottIt's crazy.
ChrisThat.
ChrisAll right, so we've got rocks.
ChrisI completely forgot about the beanie baby conversation.
ChrisAll right, so we've got throwing rocks at cars and then stealing donuts for $7.
ChrisDarren, what are your thoughts?
DarrenMint chocolate chip.
DarrenBut the donut shop was Florida, because that was me actually stealing money to go ice cream.
ScottBecause your dad never bought it for you.
ChrisNick.
NickI'm definitely gonna say donut shop Florida.
NickBut I don't feel like they need.
NickI feel like $7.
NickHow much.
NickHow much is marijuana down there?
NickProbably $7.
NickIs it $7?
NickI'm gonna go.
NickYeah, donuts Florida.
SarahSarah, not on the streets.
SarahListen, $7.
SarahI still go donut shop, Florida and.
ScottChris, I gotta go Rock throwing.
ScottNew Jersey, that's just something we do here.
ScottIt's ingrained in our culture.
ChrisOkay.
ChrisSo, yeah, I'm gonna go.
ChrisThis is a tough one because we don't have a whole lot of donut donut shops except for in Tallahassee.
ChrisThere's a ton of Tallahassee all over the place.
ScottOr Krispy Kreme.
SarahYeah.
ScottWhat?
NickUsually.
ChrisNo, we have one Krispy Kreme.
DarrenNo, we don't have just one Krispy Kreme.
DarrenDunkin Donuts.
DarrenWe've got Voodoo donuts.
ChrisWe have a lot of Dunkin Donuts.
ChrisI forgot about Dunkin.
ChrisYeah.
ChrisAll right, I'm gonna go.
ChrisDonuts for $7.
ChrisJersey rocks.
ChrisFlorida.
ChrisLet's find out the answer.
RyanSo our first story is from Florida where a 28 year old man is arrested after police said that he threw rocks at random vehicles.
RyanAccording to the report, a man was hit in the side of the face of the rock and crashed into a wall.
RyanThis man also might have hit Scott's car with a rock, but the car is so dilapidated that insurance said it may have actually gained value over it.
RyanSo that means our second story is from New Jersey where police are on the lookout for a Dunkin Donuts drive thru robber that got away with $7 and the employee's cell phone.
RyanPolice are saying this is almost as awkward as when JD Vance went to a donut shop.
RyanAnd in other news, in New York City, there is an outbreak of ringworm.
RyanApparently, a lot of ringworm is being found in private places on gay men.
RyanCoincidentally, Nick was dressed as a ring worm for Halloween.
RyanThat's it for me this week, guys.
RyanWe'll talk to you next week.
ScottIf you guys haven't watched the JD Vance in a donut or in a bakery video that Ryan referenced, please watch it.
ScottDo yourself a favor and watch it.
ScottIt is four minutes of the most awkward encounters that you'll ever see in your life.
ChrisI will have to watch it.
ScottGood one.
DarrenThat's good.
ChrisDarren, you wanted to talk about something tonight?
DarrenYeah.
DarrenSo the other night I was depressed because we put down our dog and I was.
DarrenYeah, yeah.
DarrenSo I was like, you know, best thing to do, go out, go drink, go eat tacos.
DarrenSo I went out to a taco place and the tacos were so hot I farted and then just pulled right through my pants all the way through.
DarrenNot even joking.
DarrenIt joking.
DarrenAnd I was like, it just went.
ScottNot even an exaggeration.
DarrenNot an exaggeration.
ChrisThe hole was like this big.
DarrenI Could fit my entire fist through the hole.
ScottYou know that SpaceX launched the other night?
ScottThat was me.
DarrenWell, and the worst part was, is I was intoxicated and I was, I was free balling it.
DarrenSo I was just.
ScottThat's a thing.
DarrenEverything, everything was out.
ScottWas there a reason why you're free balling it?
ScottLike, what's the decision making that goes into free balling?
DarrenWell, I was at home all day because it just again, sad new dog died.
ScottI know.
ScottI get it.
ScottI get it.
DarrenSo.
DarrenJust didn't want to.
ScottMy dog died.
ScottI'm not going to wear outdoor today.
ScottSo that's.
ScottSo that's what goes into.
ScottThat's.
ScottThat's fair.
ScottThat's fair.
ChrisNone of this story is an exaggeration, by the way.
DarrenI wish it was an exaggeration.
DarrenI have the picture somewhere.
DarrenI just can't show it.
ChrisI am.
ChrisChris, I am hyperventilating, like collapsed on the floor where my dog once laid.
ChrisI can barely breathe.
ChrisMy eyes are swollen.
ScottThat's just because of your.
NickTypical day for you.
ChrisMy eyes are swollen shut.
ChrisAnd Darren's like, y'all good.
ChrisI'm gonna go get some tacos.
ChrisI can't be here anymore.
ChrisLike, he abandoned the ship like right before.
ScottIt's like.
ChrisThere'S one more life raft.
ChrisI'm out.
DarrenI go get some milk.
DarrenI'd be, I'd be back.
ChrisYeah.
ChrisHey, Chris, you got any Cliff Notes?
ScottI do.
ChrisIt's been quite the show.
ChrisA lot of stuff's happened, so nothing can stop this little boy from recapping the day.
ChrisThe chrysot.
ScottBig headline in the news today was that this is real.
ScottBy the way, Spirit Airline flight was hit by gunfire by a Haitian gang.
ScottNow, I'm sorry, but how'd that even make the news?
ScottThat has to be like the most least surprising headline.
ScottThat's part of the.
ScottThat's part of the fine print.
ScottWhen you fly Spirit and to Haiti, right?
ScottHe said your, your vehicle, your plane may be struck by Haitian gang gunfire.
DarrenAre they still cannibals?
ScottWell, I think that's what they were hunting.
ScottI think that's what they were doing.
NickThey're like, oh, bad job people.
ScottThey're usually the fat ones.
ScottAnyway, Scott assumed that I was a helicopter parent and he couldn't have been any more wrong.
ScottNow, literally the only people that were more wrong was every single pollster in America up until the day of the election.
ChrisWow.
ScottNick talked about how his rights could be potentially taken away.
ScottNow, in consolation of that, Nick, I would like to give you the right to my heart.
ScottNow just don't tell anyone.
ScottI could get arrested.
ScottBut then again, then again, if I do get arrested, maybe I can run for president.
ScottSo maybe we should let the cat out of the bag.
ScottOr out of the urn.
ScottKamala Harris lost the presidential election last Tuesday.
ScottThe only thing more dead than her campaign is.
ScottScott.
ScottNever mind.
ScottI have to say this one.
ScottFor the next couple weeks.
DarrenI'm laughing through the pain.
ScottSarah got insanely excited when she thought she heard an ice cream truck.
ScottI haven't seen someone that excited to get cream since my blind date with Nick.
ScottNick.
NickLarry Hall.
ScottJD Vance went on Joe Rogan and said that he wouldn't be surprised if he and Trump won the vote of the, quote, normal gays.
ScottTurns out that the normal gays did not win in the presidency.
ScottHas actually the normal racist.
ScottAnd lastly, Tim Walls now needs a job since he's no longer the vice presidential candidate.
ScottSo it's probably why he gained 75 pounds and started hosting Parents Night Out.
ScottAnd those are my Gles.
ChrisThank you so much, Chris.
ScottYou're awesome.
ScottI love when you have to say thank you at the end.
ChrisNick, what do you got coming up this week with Piper?
NickSo Piper's birthday is on Sunday, so she turns seven.
ScottOh, my gosh.
ScottSeven.
NickWow.
NickSo it's.
NickIt's crazy to think that she's going to be that old already, I guess.
NickIs it old?
NickIt's old for her.
NickSo we're having a birthday party on Saturday.
NickIt's a mermaid theme, so we're inviting all of her cheerleading friends.
NickSo I will be very stoned and intoxicated and I'll report back next week.
ChrisSarah, what do you got going on with the girls this week?
SarahOh, I.
SarahI don't know, actually.
SarahThat's.
SarahThat's to be determined because now our Wednesdays are open, so, you know, RIP Wednesdays to be determined.
ChrisChris, what do you do with the family this week?
ScottSo we have a g follow up with a gastroenterologist for my daughter.
ScottHopefully we can get her off this $40 formula and put her down to like some string beads or something.
ScottI don't know.
ScottI'm learning as I go.
ScottScott, she's old enough to eat solids now, I think.
ChrisNo, it's too early.
ScottI'll ask.
ScottI'll ask.
ScottChat.
ScottGPT.
ScottI'm going to delete that one.
ScottIt's probably wrong here anyway.
ScottSo that's what.
ScottThat's what.
ScottThat's what we'll be doing this week.
ScottSaturday we're doing something but I totally forget so I'm go do have to ask the wife what we're doing Saturday because she gets very infuriated with me when I forget plans.
ScottBut if someone were to write them on the calendar, I would never forget these things.
ScottRight, right, right.
ScottAnyway, I digress.
ChrisOkay, Alex, maybe cut that.
ChrisI don't know.
ChrisDarren, you got anything exciting coming up?
DarrenYeah, I'm gonna go visit your other daughter that you don't see or talk to.
ChrisAll right.
