The Fry Swat

Detto Season 2 Episode 31

Fan Mail Me Brrrruuuuunnnden

Have you ever turned a kitchen disaster into a musical comedy? With T-Bot and Casey joining me, we kick things off with a hilariously unpredictable take on frying a turkey for Thanksgiving, inspired by "The Dan Band's" knack for spinning everyday events into songs. But the laughter doesn't last forever as we pivot to a much heavier topic—the alarming rise of swatting incidents in schools. We grapple with the complexities of how law enforcement responds to these fake threats, debating whether their actions are justified or overly cautious. This serious discussion prompts us to reflect on the shift from community-focused policing to a more detached and bureaucratic approach, especially when it comes to handling bomb threats in schools.

As we meander through these weighty issues, we can't help but reminisce about the days when police interactions felt more personal. We ponder the societal influences that drive young people to make these hoaxes and question why more isn't being done to address the root causes behind these threats. The conversation opens up broader themes about school safety and family dynamics, inviting us to consider how community and law enforcement can collaborate more effectively to prevent these incidents. It's a nuanced dialogue about the delicate balance between taking threats seriously and maintaining a sense of personal connection within communities.

Our discussion takes an unexpected turn as we dive into the world of food politics, comparing American products to their international counterparts. We delve into why U.S. products often contain more additives, sparking a critique of consumerism and government regulation. Between the laughs and serious insights, we tackle the rigidity of holiday traditions and question their authenticity, all while challenging the cultural rituals surrounding celebrations like Christmas and New Year's. So buckle up for a rollercoaster of wit, wisdom, and festive cheer as we offer a blend of humor and thought-provoking content for your listening pleasure.

Speaker 3:

Oh, like the winning singer. Yeah, that was my thing.

Speaker 3:

Wow.

Speaker 2:

Stole it.

Speaker 4:

Stole it and I'm not happy about it.

Speaker 2:

Dan's something stupid.

Speaker 3:

His first movie with Adam Sandler was what? The Wedding Singer.

Speaker 2:

I don't think it was.

Speaker 1:

I don't know.

Speaker 2:

Just thinking yeah it was the Wedding Singer and I believe he was in uh, holy crap. Yeah, it was a wedding singer and I believe he was in Holy crap.

Speaker 3:

Oh, that movie with.

Speaker 2:

There's three of them.

Speaker 3:

What's the name?

Speaker 2:

No, it's Bradley Cooper, the guy that pulls out his tooth. Mike Tyson's in it, holy shit, the Hangover. The Hangover. I just watched that yesterday. Pretty sure he's in that too, as funny, as that is Random. It's not funny when you can't remind me what the hell is going on.

Speaker 3:

I didn't see that. Wow, when did he sing that?

Speaker 2:

Thank you, Casey, for letting me feel stupid.

Speaker 3:

When did he sing that?

Speaker 2:

This was supposed to be a nice, easygoing pre-Thanksgiving show for the seven days after Thanksgiving.

Speaker 3:

Well, maybe we should have prepared a little bit more then.

Speaker 2:

We got time to fill.

Speaker 3:

If you had any clue what you were talking about.

Speaker 2:

This is a show where we can talk about whatever the hell we want.

Speaker 4:

Sometimes you just do that all by yourself. True.

Speaker 2:

I've told you from day one there should be TVs on me at all times Just saying. And go. Swatting is trending now.

Speaker 3:

What is swatting Is that when somebody calls the police and they go into a location but there's really nothing going on.

Speaker 2:

That's exactly what it is, but they're doing it in schools. That is exactly what it is.

Speaker 3:

Right Schools.

Speaker 2:

Dude, it's out of control in this country with all that crap.

Speaker 4:

But that's what the police are supposed to do. They're supposed to be called in and do their duty.

Speaker 3:

It's not the police that are wrong. I think it's the person doing it right. Agree.

Speaker 2:

Yes, I don't agree that the police are doing things right, though.

Speaker 4:

Why.

Speaker 2:

Because they always screw things up, okay.

Speaker 4:

Seriously, that's not completely true.

Speaker 3:

How is that with the swatting situation? How is that a thing? What are they doing wrong?

Speaker 2:

You may want to know what swatting is.

Speaker 3:

I just asked if you said I was correct.

Speaker 2:

If you're a police officer.

Speaker 3:

Okay.

Speaker 2:

So maybe you can blame it on dispatch, I don't know.

Speaker 4:

But if someone calls in a bomb threat or something going on, they have to respond. So I don't know how the police are not doing their jobs, even though the person may be faking it. Is that what swatting is?

Speaker 2:

Oh no, they get hard on us for going in for bomb threats and not finding a bomb. They feel like they did something. Or they pull you over for having a taillight out and they give you a massive fine.

Speaker 4:

Really that's not doing your job.

Speaker 2:

There was a point in time in this country where the police officer would be like Dude, do you know? You have your taillight out. Get it fixed now. If I have to pull you over again, I'm going to have to give you a ticket. Nowadays they're just like get your taillight out. What were you doing yesterday? Where were you?

Speaker 4:

What were you doing three months ago Are go. Are you sure about that?

Speaker 2:

dude, they lie to you more than anyone do you have an example of how? I have plenty of. I have plenty of them in swatting in swatting yes that's what you brought up and what you said.

Speaker 3:

So give me an example of what they're doing wrong in that situation, not in general that situation if there isn't an actual situation, it's hard to do anything wrong how do they know if there's a situation or not, unless they investigate it?

Speaker 2:

Shouldn't you be clued in or educated on the fact that some key words or things that fake bombers will say?

Speaker 4:

Sometimes I'm going to bomb the JFK school. I'm telling you right now it's a huge threat. This is what I'm going to do. You don't think the police need to go there. I don't know.

Speaker 2:

I think the dispatch needs to understand how to take that call. You should be able to tell what's a real bomb threat and what's not Okay. First of all as far as movies are concerned, it has to be a European person, somebody with an English accent. If it's not, then it's not real.

Speaker 3:

When it comes to schools, I think that I would rather, with my children being in schools that this has happened to. I would rather them be there and evacuate them and make sure there's nothing actual, realistic that's actually happening.

Speaker 4:

Agree.

Speaker 3:

And take them out of school for the whole day. I don't care, right. I would rather know that they're not in danger than have them ignore it and have them actually be in a situation where they're in trouble.

Speaker 2:

To be honest, I would too, because they'd be off my back. I'd rather have them doing something else. That was far insufficient than to bother me and pull me over because they think I don't have proper plates or lack of insurance or anything like that, which they shouldn't know anyway. And then, when they walk up to the window, there's that whole trend on Facebook or TikTok or whatever. Really, crack your window, put your license against the window. Oh, yeah and just tell them that my attorney advised me not to answer any questions.

Speaker 4:

Oh yeah, I did see that, that's it.

Speaker 2:

My attorney advised me not to ask any questions because they will just lie to you. They'll lie to you to get anything they need and always ask for your body cam footage on. You have to ask them is your body cam footage on. Is it Okay? Here you go, crack the window, you talk to them, you tell them what they need to know. You get the hell out of there, otherwise they're going to make your life hell, and that's what they do. So so good, swatting is good. I enjoy it.

Speaker 3:

Swatting is good. Yeah, have you been in a situation?

Speaker 2:

The problem with swatting is it costs me tax dollars.

Speaker 3:

Have you been in a situation where your child's school has been one that has been swatted or threatened? Have you been in that situation?

Speaker 2:

Have you.

Speaker 3:

Yes.

Speaker 2:

How was it?

Speaker 3:

Awful.

Speaker 2:

What happened?

Speaker 3:

We got a notice that there was a threat made against the school and that we are not allowed to come to the school and that they were all being taken care of and safe. And I learned that they literally sat on the high school football fields and waited and they were all OK. But you basically had to sit there and wait and know that there was not a credible bomb threat, which, by the way, if a bomb goes off, they're not that far from it. If there was an actual situation, that's scary, it's terrifying. I'm sorry and I'm not that person that's terrified to send my kid to school.

Speaker 2:

Sounds like you are.

Speaker 3:

I was never that person. My kids go to school. I send them every time. But yeah, when you get that, notice that like don't come down here, but they're basically they're evacuated and we're taking care of them, but there's this situation and you need to stay home and wait for us to let you know they're OK. That's scary.

Speaker 2:

If you actually were going to bomb a school, would you literally call it in.

Speaker 3:

I don't know, because no.

Speaker 2:

If you were going to bomb a school, would you call it?

Speaker 1:

in.

Speaker 2:

So if you get a bomb threat, do you think it's real?

Speaker 3:

Probably so. If you get a bomb threat, do you think it's real? Probably not, but it doesn't matter.

Speaker 2:

What if the one chance that it was how many mass shootings and all that stuff, bombings, all of it, boston bombing. Do you think the Boston Marathon bombers called in a bomb threat before they did it?

Speaker 2:

I agree with that so swatting is on the fucking police. Stop taking it so god damn seriously and stop listening to the news, because I wouldn't call it in if I was going to bomb something. I want it to happen. I want something to happen. I'm not looking for a reaction from certain people, I'm looking for an outcome. So fuck the swatting. This is just dumb and this is how dumb police are, and it makes you feel better.

Speaker 4:

But don't you think the people that call it in want attention. That's why they do it. They want to have attention to the whole situation. They may die in the situation at the end. How many of them?

Speaker 3:

get caught. I don't think Quite a few get caught and die. The one in my town did. They knew exactly where they were coming from.

Speaker 2:

I'm sure they can pinpoint it With all the technology today they can.

Speaker 4:

My daughter was just the one in.

Speaker 2:

If you call in a bomb threat, you're an idiot. You're an idiot Because you're calling it a bomb threat for absolutely zero. I agree.

Speaker 3:

But the point is, if that small chance that they ignore it and say it's nothing and because everybody, nobody, who would call it a bomb threat, if they're actually going to do it the small chance that it is a real credible thing and they do nothing and something happens, then what going to do about it?

Speaker 2:

What do you mean? What do you mean? What are they going to do If the police go there? What exactly are they going to do?

Speaker 3:

about it. They evacuated the entire school and had a bomb squad come in and had drones flying overhead Time out.

Speaker 2:

Time out. My friend good friend of mine was blown up in a house explosion because the guy set the bomb off. He had his kids and his wife in the house with him and he was saying somehow they got word of it, they called a SWAT team in, went to the house and he blew it up. My point to you he survived, thankfully he survived, and he's an amazing dude. But at the end of the day, what are the police going to do about it as soon as they walk in there? Guess what?

Speaker 4:

It's going to explode, but not necessarily. It could be just like a tension thing.

Speaker 2:

There's not necessarily a bomb in the building, that's why I started this whole thing out with saying the dispatch should be educated on what to know is right and what to know is wrong, what to know is real and what to know is fake. Oh, you don't really know it. And what to know is wrong? What to know is real and what to know is fake. Oh, you don't really know. It's going to go on the sound of the person's voice. If it sounds like a 12-year-old, you should know it's a kid calling it a bomb threat. If a kid can make a bomb, great. If a kid can put a bomb in a school, great. If any of those things can happen, fuck your town for not having better security.

Speaker 4:

There's no way a 12 year old should be able to put a bomb in a school. Yeah, but what if it?

Speaker 2:

was no other actual bomber is going to call in and say, hey, I put a bomb in this, unless they're trying to get you to go somewhere else so they can do something else situation my town was an adult that called from the airport and apparently did have connections with the school it. It was not a child. We're getting into a scary time.

Speaker 3:

Exactly, and it's scary and, like I said, I would rather know that they evacuated my kid and that they're safe than know that. Oh sorry, we heard about this but did nothing and something happened.

Speaker 4:

That's exactly the point. That's the problem, right.

Speaker 3:

And they're.

Speaker 2:

I mean honestly you just want to be safe.

Speaker 3:

They're in a bad situation, but the police and everybody are kind of in a situation where they're in a lose-lose situation. So, yeah, they put resources into something that's probably not credible but at the same time, if there was credible and they did nothing, they're also to blame for knowing about it and not doing anything. It's no winning on that.

Speaker 4:

They have to do it, they have to go, they have to, they have to.

Speaker 2:

I'm not sitting here telling you they don't have to go. I'm telling you they do. What I'm saying to you is dispatch should be educated on what could be real and what is probably not, Certain keywords, certain stupid things that someone would say where they're faking and they're not. And they're sending these cops out there for no reason.

Speaker 1:

They're wasting time.

Speaker 2:

Then they have to backtrack and make it up and they take it out on you. So all these bombers, these fake speeding, whatever they have a quota to make, they all have quotas. As far as I'm concerned, I am pro-police officer I am, but I'm growing weary because I feel like the people that are being hired nowadays are lackluster at best. I'm disillusioned by police officers. Now.

Speaker 2:

There used to be a time where they were like what'd you do this for? Why the hell did you do this? Like, oh, I screwed up. All right, get in the car, I'll take you home. They tell your parents, they let you deal with your parents. And I was like they just push all these papers and then they're like hey, why were you here? Well, I wasn't. Yeah, come on, you were, you know you were. No, I wasn't. No, you weren't. We both know you were. What are you talking about? You don't even know me. No, you were there. Just explain to me why you were there, I wasn't. And they keep going and it's crazy because they lie. So they deserve the bombers calling in, because the bombers are lying to them and it's full circle and they have to figure out how to be better police officers in order to stop the bombers, because this is stupid.

Speaker 4:

It's not stupid when they call a bomb in. I'm sorry and I get what you're saying.

Speaker 2:

And not all policemen are bad. Jerry Seinfeld called in a bomb threat to the New York Yankees because he wanted a fitted hat there.

Speaker 3:

Listen, I agree.

Speaker 2:

A lot of these threats and a lot of the threats are. So don't tell me it's not stupid, it is.

Speaker 3:

A lot of those threats are actually called in by 12, 13, 14-year-old kids. I agree with you on that. I don't know how it comes through to dispatch, I don't know any of that.

Speaker 2:

But I will say they have to take everything seriously. They have to.

Speaker 3:

Because there are so many situations that it has become a credible thing. Not necessarily a bomb I guess you don't hear a lot of bombs in schools but a lot of the other stuff has happened. People have gone into schools and shut up full classrooms and yeah, did they call?

Speaker 2:

before they did it. I would rather have them back. Did they call before they did it? No, Thank you very much. They didn't call anybody and say I'm going to go shoot up a school.

Speaker 3:

It's really easy to say great, they're wasting their time until something happens to your own kid, and then it'll change.

Speaker 2:

I understand, but my point to you is nobody calls ahead. It's not like call ahead seating. Put me on the reservation list.

Speaker 3:

I agree, probably not giving a big call ahead.

Speaker 2:

It's not like I'm going to go shoot up a school. Let me call the police and tell them to go do it so they can come and get me. Nobody fucking does that If you get a bomb threat. It's 99.9% ridiculous, so quit falling for the squatting.

Speaker 4:

They have to do their job though.

Speaker 2:

Otherwise you're just an idiot. They have to do their job. Yes, their job should be to figure out where that call came from and go there, fair enough, and get that little fucker. That is better. Don't go to the school. There's no bomb in the school. The kid's being a dick, he wants a day off. Go get that kid instead. What? What are you doing, with this squad going to school trying to protect all these kids? Well, there is no bomb. It's ridiculous, but such is the police force.

Speaker 3:

And such is the world we live in, sadly.

Speaker 2:

It's a two-watt bulb. Oh boy what.

Speaker 3:

It's a sad world we live in at this point that that's even a thing that anybody has to think about.

Speaker 2:

Why is it a sad world that we live in?

Speaker 3:

Because my kids, instead of learning at school, learn how to hide and know where they have to go if there's a threat.

Speaker 2:

Why is it a sad world that we live in. Say the truth, because we've allowed it to become one. We don't do the right things. You can't appease everybody. You have to do what's right. Sometimes the right thing and the hard thing are the same.

Speaker 3:

Okay.

Speaker 2:

So how are you going to do that? People are going to be pissed off at you either way, no matter what you do. And here we are.

Speaker 3:

What do you do? I don't know, because there's nothing that makes any sense to me that threatens little kids at all.

Speaker 2:

No shit.

Speaker 3:

Well in general. So I don't understand I guess.

Speaker 2:

My question is why do we allow little kids to threaten us? Why is it that we're going to the schools instead of figuring out where the call came from, which we definitely have the ability to do?

Speaker 4:

and go there Again. Yes, time out. Why are the kids doing it? What kind of life do they live? Parents? What kind of parents? I don't give a flying fuck, but kids are doing it because of the parents. You have to understand that Kids don't, just don't. I'm going to get up this morning. I'm going to call a bomb threat in. It's not how they work. What's their home life like? What's their situation like? The?

Speaker 2:

world sucks, so go get that guy. I agree, I agree. Why are you going to the school? To protect the school, where there is no bomb?

Speaker 4:

Because they have to. It's just they have to. My daughter's a teacher in a school. Yeah, she had a bomb threat. Yeah, what happened?

Speaker 2:

She had to put all the kids? No, did anybody shoot him? No, did somebody call it in? Yes, yeah, and what happened? Nothing. Thank you for proving my point.

Speaker 4:

I get that. But when it's your child and something happens to your child and a bomb threat is called in and you know your kid's in that situation, it's a scary situation, regardless if nothing happens, it's an awful situation to be in, regardless of what that kid did to call in that situation. You know what I'm saying.

Speaker 2:

It's awful. I'm going to tell you the same thing I told my parents during COVID. If you get COVID and die, I'll say I'm sorry. If some kid calls in a bomb threat and the school explodes, I'll tell you I'm sorry Until then. No, they don't call in a bomb threat, they just bomb it. They're not going to say, hey, I'm going to go do this.

Speaker 3:

When you were little, did anybody pull the fire alarm?

Speaker 2:

Not that I remember, no, really no, I feel like that was a thing when we were younger.

Speaker 3:

That was the thing they wouldn't. Oh, it was a thing. There were no bomb threats.

Speaker 2:

But did you have anybody actually pull the fire alarm?

Speaker 3:

Yes, you did. I didn't do that, but I feel like. Yes, in high school and stuff yes, people pulled the fire alarm.

Speaker 2:

I don't remember anyone. I don't remember hearing a story or actually knowing about anybody really pulling a fire alarm Really.

Speaker 3:

Yeah, no, I'm just wondering, if that is.

Speaker 2:

And I would have been one of the ones that do it.

Speaker 3:

I'm basically saying I think maybe that's the next piece of this. Like I said, the situation in my town was not that, but maybe, because there are a lot of kids that do this, is that the next way of getting out of school. I don't know.

Speaker 2:

You two illustrated my point fantastically, thank you.

Speaker 3:

You're welcome, because what?

Speaker 2:

happened to your school.

Speaker 3:

The school that.

Speaker 2:

I was Did it blow up? No but it was an adult and it was called in from an airport. I don't care who it is, they don't call it in.

Speaker 3:

Wasn't a kid in my time, ay yi yi.

Speaker 2:

I hear what you're saying but you don't, because you're arguing with me about it.

Speaker 3:

I do, but I still would have preferred I don't know. I'm happier that they made sure they were all safe, Like somebody calling something in from an airport. That's even stranger to me Like why are you in an airport? You're fleeing.

Speaker 2:

Is that what's happening? What were they safe from?

Speaker 3:

A potential situation A potential what Listen?

Speaker 2:

What were they?

Speaker 3:

safe from. There is no part of me that thought I would have kids and have to worry about anything bad ever happening to them at school.

Speaker 2:

And who did that to us?

Speaker 3:

that to us? I don't know, not me.

Speaker 2:

We did we did, we did this. We allowed it to happen. We believe in it. We look to everything to have a solid conclusion to it. We sit there and if there's a, we want to see somebody get caught. Do you think the guy that shot everybody in Vegas out of that Mandalay Bay window called the police first and said, hey, I'm going to shoot everybody? No, he fucking didn't. No, I hear you.

Speaker 3:

They don't warn anybody. I get it.

Speaker 2:

If you're going to do it, you don't warn anyone. If you get a warning, there's like one in a million chance that it's actually going to happen. And even the people that warn it, even if they went into a school and found a bomb like die hard, it's fake because they're just distracting you with something else to get away with robbing a bank you don't call anybody. If you mean to do harm, so swatting, that's on the police. It's on the police, it's not on the people that call me. They should be able to go there and arrest whoever's doing it. Don't waste your time with going look at school, because chances are it ain't a real bomb and you should be able to tell the difference between a voice, between a 12 year old and a 42 year old. I don't know, maybe sometimes I sound like a 12-year-old. I can't tell. I'm calling it a bomb threat because I didn't do my homework.

Speaker 3:

Oh boy Anyway moving on Wow. Okay, that was way more serious than I thought we were going by the way Right.

Speaker 2:

Hey, it's supposed to be fun. It's Thanksgiving. We never even got to that.

Speaker 3:

Happy Thanksgiving. Ooh Yay, thanksgiving, ooh Yay Talk bomb threats.

Speaker 2:

You guys talk bomb threats. I just said the police were crazy for fucking believing every one of them. Okay, Moving on. Then they come back and they tell you that you're driving by somebody's house when you're fucking not. Oh no.

Speaker 3:

Not going there, I just did Moving on.

Speaker 2:

Where are we moving to? I don't know, oh Something more fun. Yes, when are we moving to?

Speaker 3:

I don't know Something more fun.

Speaker 2:

Yes, this is not going to be more fun, but it's going to be along the lines of schools and what I've said already. Rfk Jr wants to remove fluoride from all schools.

Speaker 1:

You guys may have seen that?

Speaker 3:

Yes, I saw somebody randomly post it recently. I've been dying to talk to you two about this.

Speaker 2:

I've been saying it for years Fluoride is what causes the cancer. You can't be putting those chemicals in your body. We've been doing it since we were kids, yeah, and everybody gets cancer. And then they wonder why and I said it's fluoride or toothpaste or even peanut butter stuff.

Speaker 3:

You don't deodorant I'm gonna be honest, I recently saw something and I have not actually done research to compare if this is accurate of what they were showing, but it was somebody that said they don't live in the States anymore and they said this is why I don't eat food from the United States. And it would show the ingredients in a box of cereal here versus an ingredient in the same cereal in the UK.

Speaker 2:

I could do that right now. I could do that right now with Coca-Cola.

Speaker 3:

And they are a million times more ingredients in the US than there are in every other country.

Speaker 2:

And no one questions that.

Speaker 3:

I guess I've never looked at ingredients like that.

Speaker 2:

I could do that right now with Coca-Cola.

Speaker 3:

But yeah, it's not right.

Speaker 2:

I have purchased a case of Mexican Coca-Cola. That's the soda. I know Mexican Coca-Cola sounds a little bad, but Not at all. That is the soda, and it's because it's pure cane sugar.

Speaker 3:

Right.

Speaker 2:

Not all the crap that they put in it in the United States.

Speaker 3:

It was like 20 items. I looked at yes. I mean Frosted Flakes, like cereal that we and I have heard recently like oh, we all grew up with it, we've all had it, but it's not the same stuff that we had when we were little versus what's in there now different added so many different additives now in the us, but only in the us, which is weird.

Speaker 3:

Why only in the us? Why do we have to have that? If the other countries don't need it, why does the us have it? Why are they adding all this crap into our stuff?

Speaker 2:

Tell me.

Speaker 3:

Because we're allowing it. Obviously, while the country is allowing it, I don't pick what goes into anything.

Speaker 2:

Population control.

Speaker 3:

Awful.

Speaker 2:

Population control and the fact that we don't stop anything.

Speaker 3:

Apparently not, even though they claim that there's these huge government.

Speaker 2:

I'm not even sure the Tea Party actually happened. What Tea Party? Huge government. I'm not even sure the tea party actually happened. What tea party? I think it's a story. Okay, we don't stop anything. We don't stop gas prices from rising. We don't revolt against anything. And we should? We should have a long time ago and we don't do it. And that's on us. That's us. You no longer have the right to complain anymore because you haven't done shit about it and only have two candidates idiot, one, an idiot, idiot, idioter. I don't even know how you'd say that. Two.

Speaker 4:

All right, dumb and dumber okay, but the dumb and dumber go with dumb and dumber.

Speaker 2:

I didn't. We don't have a trademark for that, so we can't use that stuff.

Speaker 4:

probably not, not, probably not.

Speaker 2:

That's going to come back to us, but either way, you know what I'm saying. Those are the only two options we have. And are you kidding me? Right now, 300 million people in this country and we only have two options Fucking idiot and fucking bigger idiot. Come on, man, let's tighten this up. Let's tighten this up. We're a better country than this. This sucks this. Let's tighten this up. We're a better country than this. This sucks. This sucks in the fucking.

Speaker 3:

Don't even get me started in the electoral college and we don't even talk politics getting into any of that I was talking about food, no politics. What are you getting into right now?

Speaker 2:

well, that's who you got into the politics by talking food and the ingredients, because that's who allows it the fda, which is government okay, all right, I guess my?

Speaker 3:

my basic point was why don't even country like why does the company? Make something different here versus other countries. I don't understand If they're making for the UK. You go buy in England and have Frosted Flakes in England. Why are they not the same Frosted Flakes in the US?

Speaker 2:

Why Americans are greedy.

Speaker 3:

What does that even mean?

Speaker 2:

The rich get richer, the poor get poorer. That's how this country works right now, and we're too dumb to figure it out.

Speaker 3:

But how does that equate to the serial differences?

Speaker 2:

Because they can make a product that lasts longer, it doesn't go bad, which is stupid, because if you make it last longer you don't sell as much, but it can sit on the shelves longer in bulk and they can have a heyday sale on it, sell it all off for pennies on the dollar and still make money.

Speaker 3:

Yeah.

Speaker 2:

It's disgusting.

Speaker 3:

And it's making people sick.

Speaker 2:

Pesticide. Yes, yes, it's to the point where you can't eat, you can't drink the water. They are literally trying to kill us. Well, I wouldn't say that but they are literally trying to kill us, wouldn't say that they're literally trying to kill us. Hey, man, I say what I want.

Speaker 3:

We need a lot of medical stuff that involves meds that have to fix everything. Big Pharma.

Speaker 2:

Don't get me started with Big Pharma. We were trying to get into something happier.

Speaker 4:

Yeah, what's happy.

Speaker 2:

It's Thanksgiving. Oh shit, I'm frying a turkey. Yeah, you're frying a turkey. Hey, can we watch?

Speaker 4:

Christmas movies, yet no Thanksgiving. Oh shit, I'm frowning a turkey. Yeah, you're frowning a turkey. Hey, can we?

Speaker 3:

watch Christmas movies, yet no.

Speaker 2:

Anybody that watches a Christmas movie before Thanksgiving is an idiot.

Speaker 4:

Idiot. I just did that because I knew that Did you. I just did that, yeah.

Speaker 2:

Way to go, T-Bat.

Speaker 4:

Trying to break in the room.

Speaker 3:

Thanksgiving is really late this year, though. It is really late this year, though, it is really late, so I feel like we've had to wait a really long time for all the Christmas stuff, yep.

Speaker 2:

And it's going to be a shortened Christmas season. You do realize that you didn't wait any longer than you normally do, correct? There are only 52 weeks in a year.

Speaker 4:

No, it's.

Speaker 3:

But here's the thing you are so specific about not having Christmas movies before Thanksgiving, correct? But you will continue the Christmas season, for thing you are so specific about not having christmas movies before thanksgiving, but you will continue the christmas season for an extended period of time till.

Speaker 2:

Till the next halloween exactly yes, so it's really like a short.

Speaker 3:

Yeah, we're all like massacred, if we even think about putting a christmas movie on the day before Thanksgiving but, God forbid.

Speaker 2:

You observe every holiday as they come. You don't get ready. I'm not celebrating Thanksgiving during Halloween. Hell. No, halloween is the gateway into holiday season.

Speaker 3:

Do you have a big Halloween celebration?

Speaker 2:

I could. If I wanted to, I would. Halloween is my least favorite holiday.

Speaker 4:

It's not really a holiday. It's not really a holiday.

Speaker 2:

It's the first of three Halloween, thanksgiving, christmas, but then technically New Year's, which I despise immensely.

Speaker 3:

Yeah, I think when they refer to the holidays, they're talking about Thanksgiving, christmas, new Year's, halloween is not usually Christmas.

Speaker 2:

New Year's is not a holiday.

Speaker 4:

New Year's is a holiday.

Speaker 2:

New Year's is for fat people to have hope. Wow, new Year's is for fat people to have hope. Wow, that's all it is For people to have hope.

Speaker 4:

This is going to be the year. Fuck you, because last year sucked, let's try for this year. How?

Speaker 2:

about next fucking Tuesday.

Speaker 3:

Start then Anybody's really holding out for that one night, for that to change the Projection of their life. I'm sorry you need January the projection of their life. I would, I'm sorry, yeah, but.

Speaker 2:

You need January. You need January fucking 1st, to change the trajectory of your life.

Speaker 3:

Exactly that's what I'm saying.

Speaker 2:

That's not a real thing. So fuck New Year's and if anybody's actually convinced somebody that that's the case.

Speaker 3:

That's extremely sad.

Speaker 2:

Let's just go get drunk somewhere and pass out.

Speaker 4:

Okay, that's always a good thing too. Woo-hoo, great plan.

Speaker 2:

Well, we know what T-Bot's all about.

I hate New Year's. Hate it, hate it, hate it, hate it, hate it, hate it.

Speaker 3:

Yeah, new Year's is kind of a it is. Blah, I don't really care. It is what it is. I don't care one way or the other and those stupid people that go down. I love it, I hate it.

Speaker 2:

Those stupid people that go down and sit in Times Square for three hours squished piss all over each other. It smells bad, Stop it. They get robbed, okay. And then they watch the ball fall and it's like, oh, that was it.

Speaker 3:

You actually stay there and have to like pee themselves. I would time out.

Speaker 4:

I would like to go see the Mesa Day Parade one time. Like that would be a great trip to go on to New York see the Mesa Day Parade.

Speaker 2:

I need to find two new co-hosts. I do. I need two new co-hosts. What did?

Speaker 3:

I say I don't want to go to the Macy's Parade. I have family that lives in the city. The only thing I hate more than New Year's is parades.

Speaker 2:

Oh wow, what a boring waste of fucking time.

Speaker 4:

Santa comes, santa comes.

Speaker 1:

Yay, if you're under the age of 13,.

Speaker 2:

I'm sorry about this, but there is no fucking Santa. You're not supposed to say that that's not what you're supposed to say I don't think kids are listening to us, so I can say it Okay.

Speaker 3:

You never know. It's the magic of Christmas and that's the whole thing Exactly.

Speaker 2:

Santa is the magic of Christmas. Exactly, that's correct, right. There is no Santa, though.

Speaker 3:

Obviously, we're all aware of those things.

Speaker 2:

Oh, we are now Because, like two seconds ago, you were yelling at me.

Speaker 3:

Yeah, you just. We had no idea until then.

Speaker 2:

This is absolute horse shit. Right Horse shit Really blows my skirt up. Tell you that I love.

Speaker 3:

Christmas.

Speaker 4:

I will say my favorite holiday.

Speaker 3:

I have no need to watch the entire Macy's Day Parade. I like pieces. I will sit, I will watch pieces of it. It used to be on in the background.

Speaker 2:

You want to know my trick, but when?

Speaker 3:

Santa comes and I laugh at it every year Because my mom and my sister go crazy Blah blah blah. It still is that period, that's exciting. It is, it's silly and whatever you can say, whatever you want about it, but it's still that whole brings of the Christmas season. It's exciting, it's true. After that day we're allowed to watch Christmas movies. It's true it is true. It is?

Speaker 2:

She's awful jovial over there, isn't she? Oh?

Speaker 3:

Oh, I'm sorry, we turned it around a little bit here.

Speaker 4:

Yeah, I do agree, every holiday should have its own holiday. So I'm with you on that. I don't take any Christmas stuff until after. I could do it like at 12 o'clock on Thanksgiving night and it's on a Christmas tree.

Speaker 2:

I would even agree to 8 o'clock on Thanksgiving night because you're tired.

Speaker 4:

You ate chicken Triptophan? No, you know what Triptofan? Yeah.

Speaker 2:

Taking that back. You can't do anything until football's over. Oh, on Thanksgiving, football's over, you can do whatever you want. It's Christmas season, all right. As soon as that final buzzer goes off in that last football game, bam, it's Christmas season.

Speaker 3:

Just on Thanksgiving Okay.

Speaker 2:

What I do is I leave everything up up till april 2nd oh my god, that's not an actual date you pick, no it is because it's like april 1st is april fool's day, right? So people are like why is your stuff still up april fools?
