00:00:00.560 --> 00:00:05.440
Good afternoon, good early evening. Good three six am? You

2
00:00:05.480 --> 00:00:08.359
wake up and is it a siren outside your window

3
00:00:08.480 --> 00:00:11.160
or something howling? If it's a siren, is the world ending?

4
00:00:11.199 --> 00:00:13.919
If it's a howling, is something being decimated outside of

5
00:00:13.919 --> 00:00:17.640
your bedroom window? No? Just me. We are Anxiety Atics

6
00:00:17.640 --> 00:00:21.879
Bedtime Stories. I'm Joe and I'm Morgan, and welcome to

7
00:00:22.000 --> 00:00:25.120
our weekly BS where we talk about the most important

8
00:00:25.120 --> 00:00:27.640
things going on in the world that you absolutely cannot

9
00:00:27.640 --> 00:00:29.440
live without knowing our take.

10
00:00:29.239 --> 00:00:30.960
On so so true.

11
00:00:31.039 --> 00:00:36.399
Joe, how's your fourth It was, I mean, I have kids,

12
00:00:38.280 --> 00:00:39.479
so it was super fun.

13
00:00:39.840 --> 00:00:42.240
Oh, it was one of the best, most memorable nights

14
00:00:42.240 --> 00:00:42.679
in my life.

15
00:00:42.719 --> 00:00:44.679
Just super relaxing. I felt like I could.

16
00:00:44.960 --> 00:00:48.439
I also felt really grounded and celebrating how wonderful this

17
00:00:48.560 --> 00:00:51.320
country is and how much it takes care of people.

18
00:00:51.399 --> 00:00:52.560
And I felt.

19
00:00:52.399 --> 00:00:56.079
Elated and optimistic, and I felt I just felt so

20
00:00:56.359 --> 00:01:01.280
good about the future and the world and no anxiety.

21
00:01:01.679 --> 00:01:07.599
None. But did you barbecue? No? Oh, that's the only

22
00:01:07.640 --> 00:01:11.640
thing I look forward to. Oh No, I feel like barbecue.

23
00:01:11.879 --> 00:01:15.359
No. We went to a parade and in the Midwest,

24
00:01:15.519 --> 00:01:17.359
and this is not the Midwest, this is the West.

25
00:01:18.239 --> 00:01:19.920
But I never knew this was the thing growing up

26
00:01:19.959 --> 00:01:22.719
in Massachusetts. But my cousin don was here and she

27
00:01:22.799 --> 00:01:24.159
was like, no, We're going to Iowa and they do

28
00:01:24.200 --> 00:01:27.319
the same thing. So they have these parades, big parades, floats,

29
00:01:27.319 --> 00:01:31.319
like people get super into it, and then they have

30
00:01:32.040 --> 00:01:36.120
barrels and buckets of I mean, like a gross ton

31
00:01:36.200 --> 00:01:38.159
of candy and they just chuck it at the kids.

32
00:01:39.680 --> 00:01:41.120
What are you talking about. You don't know about this.

33
00:01:41.159 --> 00:01:43.040
In Massachusetts we go every.

34
00:01:42.879 --> 00:01:46.599
Year, and I don't remember having candy thrown at me.

35
00:01:47.719 --> 00:01:49.680
Yes, they used to do it in Florence, but all

36
00:01:49.799 --> 00:01:51.359
they do it every year in Chesterfield.

37
00:01:52.959 --> 00:01:56.480
But Chesterfield is also a little like rural Midwest kind

38
00:01:56.519 --> 00:01:59.480
of feel. I don't remember having candid. I have no

39
00:01:59.640 --> 00:02:01.519
memory of like standing out there with a bag and

40
00:02:01.560 --> 00:02:02.359
collecting candy.

41
00:02:03.120 --> 00:02:05.719
Yes, and it used to be Tutsi rolls and then

42
00:02:05.920 --> 00:02:10.240
it graduated to like the flavor Tutsi roles. But especially

43
00:02:10.240 --> 00:02:11.719
in Florence, they would do it every year.

44
00:02:12.039 --> 00:02:14.560
Maybe we never went. I just have no memory. I

45
00:02:14.639 --> 00:02:16.879
remember coming out here and being like, oh, they throw

46
00:02:16.960 --> 00:02:18.240
candy at the kids.

47
00:02:18.840 --> 00:02:22.439
Cool, that's really funny. Yeah, you'll have to take that

48
00:02:22.520 --> 00:02:23.159
up with your mother.

49
00:02:24.639 --> 00:02:26.800
Yeah, I feel like we have so many other issues

50
00:02:26.840 --> 00:02:28.879
we might have to get to you first. But if

51
00:02:28.879 --> 00:02:30.719
we get to the point in our relationship where we're

52
00:02:30.719 --> 00:02:33.639
discussing my lack of TUTSI rolls being checked at my forehead.

53
00:02:33.639 --> 00:02:35.199
I feel like we'll be in a really good place

54
00:02:35.199 --> 00:02:36.319
and I'm looking forward to that.

55
00:02:37.879 --> 00:02:40.280
Oh my goodness, that is really really funny.

56
00:02:40.280 --> 00:02:42.560
But yes, we do the parades here too, although I

57
00:02:42.599 --> 00:02:44.719
don't ever remember them being in Northampton. They were always

58
00:02:44.719 --> 00:02:49.159
in Florence and then in Chesterfield. We would go, but anyways,

59
00:02:49.800 --> 00:02:52.039
we didn't go this year, so I shouldn't be talking

60
00:02:52.080 --> 00:02:52.360
about that.

61
00:02:52.400 --> 00:02:53.479
But I did have a barbecue.

62
00:02:53.759 --> 00:02:56.879
Cheeseburgers and hot dogs are my biggest craving when I

63
00:02:57.080 --> 00:02:59.520
live outside of the US, and so I had a

64
00:02:59.560 --> 00:03:02.000
few of those. In case you were wondering, I was,

65
00:03:03.520 --> 00:03:05.639
did you get any notifications?

66
00:03:05.919 --> 00:03:10.159
I didn't get noticed, Neman, I didn't get notificated miss

67
00:03:10.199 --> 00:03:15.080
and miss Joe, Miss Joe, Miss Joe. So true, I

68
00:03:15.120 --> 00:03:17.719
didn't get any notifications. So I went into the internet

69
00:03:17.759 --> 00:03:19.639
and I was like, what are these other Joe Newman's

70
00:03:19.680 --> 00:03:22.800
up to? And I found an obituary, which always sucks

71
00:03:22.840 --> 00:03:25.599
because it's like it's hard enough dealing with dead people

72
00:03:25.639 --> 00:03:27.599
you do know, and then yeah, dead people you don't

73
00:03:27.599 --> 00:03:29.360
know to it and again just feeling.

74
00:03:29.120 --> 00:03:30.599
Really great about the world over here.

75
00:03:31.400 --> 00:03:35.639
But I have a little brain connection to make for you.

76
00:03:36.280 --> 00:03:38.759
So this woman is Linda Joe Newman. She was born

77
00:03:38.759 --> 00:03:41.400
in nineteen fifty six and she just passed away after

78
00:03:41.439 --> 00:03:43.800
our battle of cancer. So our condolences go out to

79
00:03:43.800 --> 00:03:48.120
our family. But she had a really interesting life and

80
00:03:48.199 --> 00:03:51.360
one of the things she did was work as a

81
00:03:51.400 --> 00:03:54.800
nine to one one dispatcher. And Morgan and I say

82
00:03:54.840 --> 00:03:57.319
this all the time, but one of the reasons that

83
00:03:57.360 --> 00:04:00.120
we do what we do is we like to have

84
00:04:00.120 --> 00:04:04.240
have an antide to true crime because Morgan and I

85
00:04:04.319 --> 00:04:05.439
both get marks.

86
00:04:05.479 --> 00:04:06.439
How deep do we get into this?

87
00:04:06.599 --> 00:04:07.159
Like how many?

88
00:04:07.479 --> 00:04:09.599
How many episodes? Will will you binge?

89
00:04:10.400 --> 00:04:12.599
You if you can and you're like in it, if

90
00:04:12.639 --> 00:04:12.919
I can.

91
00:04:13.000 --> 00:04:15.520
If I'm like doing stuff, I would say at least

92
00:04:15.719 --> 00:04:17.959
three a day. But if it's like the weekend and

93
00:04:18.000 --> 00:04:20.040
I have to clean or I'm on my bike or

94
00:04:20.079 --> 00:04:24.199
I'm doing something, I mean, it could go. Yeah, I'm

95
00:04:24.319 --> 00:04:26.399
even embarrassed to say it could go a lot of

96
00:04:26.720 --> 00:04:28.279
true crime episodes.

97
00:04:28.240 --> 00:04:29.839
And what kind of headspace.

98
00:04:30.000 --> 00:04:34.279
So it's so entertaining. Maybe hopefully it's a listening some

99
00:04:34.480 --> 00:04:36.519
kind of brain waves and we're getting a little bit smarter,

100
00:04:36.600 --> 00:04:39.800
and we're learning something and we're you know, something positive

101
00:04:39.879 --> 00:04:43.240
is happening while we're you know, listening to these horrific stories,

102
00:04:43.560 --> 00:04:47.399
but you're not in the best headspace afterward, right, Yeah.

103
00:04:47.439 --> 00:04:50.000
And I think that there are some podcasts that do

104
00:04:50.040 --> 00:04:53.240
a better job of that than others. And I mean

105
00:04:53.279 --> 00:04:56.399
it in the negative way. It's important when you listen

106
00:04:56.439 --> 00:04:58.920
to these things, and I totally agree with this, is

107
00:04:58.959 --> 00:05:02.800
to understand that the stories are not for entertainment. Of course,

108
00:05:02.839 --> 00:05:04.480
podcasts turn them into entertainment.

109
00:05:04.519 --> 00:05:09.639
But these are cold cases or murders.

110
00:05:08.800 --> 00:05:13.079
Or you know whatever, it could be kidnappings that are

111
00:05:13.759 --> 00:05:15.000
real people involved.

112
00:05:15.439 --> 00:05:20.920
Right, They humanize it. They humanize it with backstory and interviews.

113
00:05:21.360 --> 00:05:26.959
So I an entire occupation of people on this planet

114
00:05:26.959 --> 00:05:28.680
that I don't think I ever gave a ton of

115
00:05:29.199 --> 00:05:33.360
thought about. Thought too. Before I started listening to true

116
00:05:33.360 --> 00:05:37.399
crime was nine to one one dispatchers. And how many

117
00:05:37.439 --> 00:05:38.800
of these nine to one one calls? Now that we

118
00:05:38.839 --> 00:05:40.759
listen to a lot of true crime, have you heard

119
00:05:41.079 --> 00:05:42.639
like one hundreds?

120
00:05:42.720 --> 00:05:43.920
Yeah?

121
00:05:43.959 --> 00:05:46.759
So this woman, this Linda Joe Neuman was a nine

122
00:05:46.800 --> 00:05:51.279
to one to one dispatcher, and I some of them Locke,

123
00:05:51.600 --> 00:05:55.600
who knows what it's like answering people's worst moment of

124
00:05:55.639 --> 00:05:58.279
their entire life, calls all day, and you also have

125
00:05:58.319 --> 00:06:02.040
to remember that people are calling because they're like, there's

126
00:06:02.079 --> 00:06:05.079
a tiger in my living room. It's bearing its teeth

127
00:06:05.120 --> 00:06:07.199
at me, it's a friend.

128
00:06:07.480 --> 00:06:09.839
Oh wait, no, or like, oh wait.

129
00:06:09.680 --> 00:06:13.560
I took too many gummies, and then I'm one dispatcher

130
00:06:13.639 --> 00:06:17.120
is like there is no tiger. Go take a cold shower,

131
00:06:17.240 --> 00:06:23.399
Like you're dealing with the pendulum of like the absolute

132
00:06:23.399 --> 00:06:26.839
worst moment of somebody's life and somebody who is imagining

133
00:06:26.839 --> 00:06:28.680
a tiger because I think that, I think you do

134
00:06:28.759 --> 00:06:29.920
get a lot of both. I don't know what the

135
00:06:29.920 --> 00:06:31.240
percentage is, no.

136
00:06:31.199 --> 00:06:33.439
But some of some of it's bullshit, Like I didn't

137
00:06:33.480 --> 00:06:36.040
know that the memes.

138
00:06:36.360 --> 00:06:38.839
The memes pop up all the time, especially now that

139
00:06:38.879 --> 00:06:42.360
we've legal so many places of people just like freaking

140
00:06:42.439 --> 00:06:47.120
out and then it's not a thing. But I do

141
00:06:47.240 --> 00:06:48.680
like to think that if I were a nine one

142
00:06:48.720 --> 00:06:50.920
one dispatcher, and again I'm saying this because I didn't

143
00:06:50.920 --> 00:06:52.959
have to talk somebody out of an imaginary tiger.

144
00:06:53.959 --> 00:06:55.240
I understand that.

145
00:06:55.319 --> 00:06:57.240
I would be like, first of all, I wouldn't tell

146
00:06:57.240 --> 00:06:57.959
anyone to calm down.

147
00:06:59.279 --> 00:07:01.000
I know you hate that. You hate that in real

148
00:07:01.000 --> 00:07:02.800
life too, take a deep breath, calm down.

149
00:07:03.519 --> 00:07:06.639
Well, when in the history of the universe is somebody

150
00:07:06.639 --> 00:07:08.439
freaking out and you go calm down and they go,

151
00:07:08.959 --> 00:07:09.839
oh my god.

152
00:07:09.720 --> 00:07:13.920
That's right, thank you, Oh that's better, thank you. I agree.

153
00:07:13.920 --> 00:07:17.240
And I actually just got really good advice two days

154
00:07:17.240 --> 00:07:20.399
ago from my cousin because we were at a rope's

155
00:07:20.480 --> 00:07:23.920
course and there was like a moment of stress and

156
00:07:24.439 --> 00:07:28.040
my cousin, Melissa, who also happens to be a doctor,

157
00:07:28.079 --> 00:07:31.560
but not in this she goes, sometimes you have to

158
00:07:31.600 --> 00:07:32.759
say look at the tree.

159
00:07:33.079 --> 00:07:34.240
What color is the tree?

160
00:07:34.399 --> 00:07:36.639
And that can get somebody to calm down more than

161
00:07:36.680 --> 00:07:38.439
saying just take a deep breath.

162
00:07:38.800 --> 00:07:41.680
Yeah, And so I will work out that. Okay, I

163
00:07:41.759 --> 00:07:45.240
understand what you're saying. However, if you're on the.

164
00:07:45.199 --> 00:07:47.720
Phone with somebody, you don't know them, right, you have

165
00:07:47.759 --> 00:07:49.519
no idea who they are, and they're holding you. And

166
00:07:49.560 --> 00:07:51.680
I'm not talking about the tiger, but it could be

167
00:07:51.680 --> 00:07:55.079
the tiger I'm talking about in a real emergency scenario

168
00:07:55.160 --> 00:07:58.839
when somebody's having a clear panic attack, yeah, in shock.

169
00:07:59.079 --> 00:08:01.600
Yeah, you know that you're.

170
00:08:01.480 --> 00:08:03.160
The only line that can get them.

171
00:08:03.040 --> 00:08:06.279
Help, right if somebody's like so, you got to.

172
00:08:06.279 --> 00:08:09.079
Snap somebody out of it somehow, And sometimes that takes

173
00:08:09.120 --> 00:08:12.040
a little bit of it can come off and I

174
00:08:12.079 --> 00:08:13.879
do this all the time when I listen to true crime,

175
00:08:13.959 --> 00:08:21.519
it can come off as disconnected or uncaring, when maybe

176
00:08:21.560 --> 00:08:24.240
that's what you need. You can't always have empathy. You

177
00:08:24.240 --> 00:08:27.000
can have it afterwards, but sometimes you have to come

178
00:08:27.000 --> 00:08:29.639
off is cold and hard to get somebody to give

179
00:08:29.680 --> 00:08:31.399
you the proper information to help them.

180
00:08:31.560 --> 00:08:33.720
Yeah, I totally agree, but I do think that the

181
00:08:33.720 --> 00:08:36.759
way to do that, And again I have had zero

182
00:08:36.919 --> 00:08:38.559
training as a nine on one operator.

183
00:08:39.320 --> 00:08:40.960
I've had less than zero.

184
00:08:40.759 --> 00:08:44.159
Training as a crisis management person. I went to acting school.

185
00:08:44.320 --> 00:08:47.799
So you can just turn this podcast off right now

186
00:08:47.840 --> 00:08:51.519
if you're looking for anything meaningful. But my unsolicited and

187
00:08:51.600 --> 00:08:56.279
published opinion published this will be published, is that like

188
00:08:56.399 --> 00:08:59.919
then you should give somebody like, Okay, close the door,

189
00:09:00.240 --> 00:09:03.039
start chest compressions, get a glass, like, give them something

190
00:09:03.080 --> 00:09:05.480
to do. I just think that this whole calm down.

191
00:09:05.799 --> 00:09:07.759
Every time I hear it, I'm like, what the fuck

192
00:09:08.960 --> 00:09:11.759
like when has you don't even well, just when has

193
00:09:11.799 --> 00:09:15.080
that ever helped somebody? It's not a helpful phrase. In fact,

194
00:09:15.120 --> 00:09:19.919
it's like a if I if somebody who's bleeding out

195
00:09:20.200 --> 00:09:22.080
at my feet and the person was like, calm down,

196
00:09:22.159 --> 00:09:24.320
I'd be like I'd hang up on them, and then

197
00:09:24.320 --> 00:09:26.159
I'd have to call back and be like I just

198
00:09:26.159 --> 00:09:28.799
got one and I need another one. I need another one.

199
00:09:29.159 --> 00:09:31.440
But like i'd get, I'd get I think I'd get

200
00:09:31.440 --> 00:09:38.080
really reactive because you can't hate them down.

201
00:09:38.440 --> 00:09:40.759
Well you can't. It's just not a it's not helpful.

202
00:09:40.879 --> 00:09:43.600
It's like it doesn't It maybe makes the person who's

203
00:09:43.639 --> 00:09:45.440
feeling better say it, but like I don't think it's

204
00:09:45.440 --> 00:09:46.960
helpful to the person who's freaking out.

205
00:09:48.039 --> 00:09:50.799
Yeah, but I also think that you have certain phrases.

206
00:09:52.399 --> 00:09:54.320
I'll give you a few that I know, a few

207
00:09:54.759 --> 00:09:57.639
where it's like, let me give you forty five what's

208
00:09:57.679 --> 00:09:58.120
the plan?

209
00:09:58.399 --> 00:09:59.480
Oh that drives me nuts?

210
00:10:00.159 --> 00:10:03.120
Calm down? What are we up to?

211
00:10:05.120 --> 00:10:06.919
What are we up to? And what's the plan? Is

212
00:10:06.960 --> 00:10:08.279
also the same.

213
00:10:08.399 --> 00:10:12.759
Yeah, so you have certain things or take a deep breath,

214
00:10:12.960 --> 00:10:13.919
relax for a minute.

215
00:10:14.720 --> 00:10:16.320
These are all things I say to Joe. So I

216
00:10:16.399 --> 00:10:19.120
know that, well, not the what's our plan, because I

217
00:10:19.120 --> 00:10:20.000
know she hates something.

218
00:10:20.080 --> 00:10:22.799
But my point is is the like if somebody tells

219
00:10:22.799 --> 00:10:25.159
me if I'm like freaking out when somebody's like, calm down,

220
00:10:25.759 --> 00:10:28.840
I don't get triggered by that. Like I would be like, okay,

221
00:10:28.879 --> 00:10:31.320
like I need but I understand you do. And so

222
00:10:31.480 --> 00:10:33.720
I think we need to add this into the nine

223
00:10:33.720 --> 00:10:35.120
to one one dispatch tras.

224
00:10:36.240 --> 00:10:39.600
Some people are triggered by a directive that they have no.

225
00:10:39.600 --> 00:10:42.159
Control over, that they have no control over.

226
00:10:43.000 --> 00:10:45.240
So yes, uh, and we could do that. But yeah,

227
00:10:45.600 --> 00:10:48.879
it's really interesting and I think I read somewhere. They

228
00:10:48.879 --> 00:10:51.200
do go through a lot of training, not necessarily what

229
00:10:51.279 --> 00:10:54.039
a social worker would go through, but very similar to

230
00:10:54.240 --> 00:10:57.000
that to know the exact questions to ask, and sometimes

231
00:10:57.000 --> 00:10:59.480
the questions sound dumb, but it's just to keep their

232
00:10:59.519 --> 00:11:02.039
mind off of what's going on, you know, like what

233
00:11:02.120 --> 00:11:04.840
color is your hat? Well, maybe what your house is important,

234
00:11:04.919 --> 00:11:07.200
but do you have trees in front of your house

235
00:11:07.279 --> 00:11:09.320
or whatever? Sometimes they already know where the house is,

236
00:11:09.360 --> 00:11:11.279
but they're just trying to keep them on the phone

237
00:11:11.320 --> 00:11:12.200
and keep them calm.

238
00:11:12.360 --> 00:11:14.399
I don't I don't know if i'd be very I mean,

239
00:11:14.440 --> 00:11:17.320
I'm sure those people are. It's probably the most stressful

240
00:11:18.120 --> 00:11:22.039
job ever, Like you're only meeting people on like the

241
00:11:22.080 --> 00:11:25.759
worst day of their lives. Yeah, and they're probably not

242
00:11:25.840 --> 00:11:26.440
very nice to you.

243
00:11:28.519 --> 00:11:31.200
So do you want to hear? My mind's on the

244
00:11:31.279 --> 00:11:34.519
other end of the spectrum. But still people who are

245
00:11:34.639 --> 00:11:38.440
probably trained or have an innate way of speaking to people,

246
00:11:38.600 --> 00:11:43.360
Otherwise you wouldn't be calling them either. So actually, Joe

247
00:11:43.399 --> 00:11:44.759
found this for me, but I don't know if you

248
00:11:44.799 --> 00:11:50.960
read it, but it's a Morgan psychic and I have

249
00:11:51.039 --> 00:11:53.519
to tell you I have a huge I want to

250
00:11:53.559 --> 00:11:56.399
go to a psychic or a tear card reader so badly.

251
00:11:57.320 --> 00:12:00.799
I'm it gives me so much anxiety because I want

252
00:12:00.799 --> 00:12:04.279
to know you know how they say with the lines wait.

253
00:12:04.200 --> 00:12:06.279
Wait, why Yeah, but why do you want to do

254
00:12:06.320 --> 00:12:07.519
it if it gives you anxiety?

255
00:12:08.399 --> 00:12:12.480
I totally believe in it, and so I'm so intrigued

256
00:12:12.519 --> 00:12:14.759
to do it. But I'm so nervous they're going to

257
00:12:14.840 --> 00:12:16.799
look at me like this and be like, you're going

258
00:12:16.879 --> 00:12:21.279
to die at you know, forty four years old or

259
00:12:21.399 --> 00:12:23.879
something awful. There's going to be like a big accident

260
00:12:24.120 --> 00:12:26.519
in your family and somebody very close to you is

261
00:12:26.559 --> 00:12:28.600
going to die a slow, painful depth.

262
00:12:28.879 --> 00:12:30.840
I don't think that they would have so many good

263
00:12:30.879 --> 00:12:32.919
reviews if they told people stuff like that.

264
00:12:33.559 --> 00:12:35.440
Well that's what everyone keeps telling me, is that they

265
00:12:35.480 --> 00:12:38.960
don't do that. But anyway, my point is is it

266
00:12:39.080 --> 00:12:41.840
intrigues me because it's something that I deeply believe in.

267
00:12:42.080 --> 00:12:45.080
I don't believe everybody has the power. I think there

268
00:12:45.080 --> 00:12:47.159
are a lot of people who fake it, but I

269
00:12:47.200 --> 00:12:51.679
think the true mediums or psychics or teart card readers

270
00:12:51.840 --> 00:12:56.559
or people with that kind of natural it's not a talent,

271
00:12:56.639 --> 00:12:57.399
what is it?

272
00:12:57.519 --> 00:12:58.240
Superpower?

273
00:12:59.360 --> 00:13:03.000
I do believe, but I'm scared to see what they

274
00:13:03.159 --> 00:13:05.600
would say to me, Well, we should find.

275
00:13:05.399 --> 00:13:08.320
A really good one and do a zoom. Well I

276
00:13:08.320 --> 00:13:10.039
shouldn't be on it because I think that that would

277
00:13:10.039 --> 00:13:12.320
be distracting to the person if they're trying to talk to, Like,

278
00:13:13.240 --> 00:13:16.639
I don't know your old dog or something, But can

279
00:13:16.679 --> 00:13:21.200
I So I have a friend who, first of all,

280
00:13:21.240 --> 00:13:23.279
I feel like this. I feel like every time you

281
00:13:23.279 --> 00:13:26.919
talk about psychics or you talk about alia, I don't

282
00:13:26.960 --> 00:13:31.279
know any kind of like other worldly woo woo experiences,

283
00:13:31.320 --> 00:13:33.919
you have to say, this person who I'm talking about

284
00:13:34.000 --> 00:13:36.519
doesn't believe in any of that stuff. And she has

285
00:13:36.519 --> 00:13:42.639
a master's degree, and she's a critical thinker, very critical thinker,

286
00:13:42.840 --> 00:13:44.879
very very smart woman. And I don't know why you

287
00:13:44.879 --> 00:13:46.720
always have to put that disclaimer in, but I feel

288
00:13:46.759 --> 00:13:47.159
like I do.

289
00:13:48.360 --> 00:13:50.639
And she uses this.

290
00:13:51.159 --> 00:13:53.320
Psychic but I don't even think this woman calls herself

291
00:13:53.360 --> 00:13:58.240
a psychic. She's like a reader or something. And I

292
00:13:58.279 --> 00:14:04.399
am going to spread such an insane conspiracy theory right now,

293
00:14:04.639 --> 00:14:08.120
but it's so entertaining, and because I feel like the

294
00:14:08.120 --> 00:14:13.080
world is crushing down on our souls with a weight previously.

295
00:14:12.600 --> 00:14:13.919
Not known to mankind.

296
00:14:14.320 --> 00:14:16.759
Just bring that out there for anybody who's looking for

297
00:14:17.000 --> 00:14:18.279
any more anxiety.

298
00:14:18.679 --> 00:14:19.519
That's what we hear for.

299
00:14:19.639 --> 00:14:23.679
We are anxiety addicts, not anxiety helpers. I am going

300
00:14:23.720 --> 00:14:30.559
to add to a admittedly insane conspiracy.

301
00:14:29.919 --> 00:14:32.960
Theory from the psychic. I'm excited.

302
00:14:32.960 --> 00:14:33.200
What is?

303
00:14:33.320 --> 00:14:35.879
Are you ready? It's so good because it's so super

304
00:14:35.879 --> 00:14:38.200
ready to the breaking news thing. Are you ready? I'm

305
00:14:38.200 --> 00:14:39.879
going to tell you ready five minutes?

306
00:14:41.759 --> 00:14:44.440
And first of all, have we even already talked about this?

307
00:14:44.519 --> 00:14:47.480
I mean, my heart breaks for everybody affected by the

308
00:14:47.600 --> 00:14:51.600
LA fires. But this psychic believes that the LA fires

309
00:14:51.799 --> 00:14:56.200
were started by people trying to cover up for the

310
00:14:56.240 --> 00:14:57.879
Diddy trial. Have we already we.

311
00:14:57.840 --> 00:15:00.879
Did talk about this? Yes, yes, we've already talked about this.

312
00:15:00.919 --> 00:15:04.519
And I said, this is a few people's conspiracy theories

313
00:15:04.559 --> 00:15:06.519
and it's not just the Diddy trial. It goes all

314
00:15:06.519 --> 00:15:09.759
the way back to like also Epstein and all this stuff.

315
00:15:09.840 --> 00:15:13.639
Yeah, because it was a yeah, mean industry. Could you

316
00:15:13.679 --> 00:15:17.200
imagine if you were like, look, the only way we're

317
00:15:17.200 --> 00:15:19.919
going to fix this thing is if we burn down

318
00:15:20.000 --> 00:15:23.080
Los Angeles and here's how we're going to do it.

319
00:15:23.960 --> 00:15:24.200
Yeah.

320
00:15:24.360 --> 00:15:27.799
No, it's I've I've heard that conspiracy theory before. Wait,

321
00:15:27.879 --> 00:15:30.679
that's this person that you're very smart, very levelheaded friend

322
00:15:30.720 --> 00:15:33.440
goes to believes in this concerrac conspiracy theory.

323
00:15:35.080 --> 00:15:37.679
I think she came up with it.

324
00:15:37.919 --> 00:15:42.559
I think she's the one who like saw it. Oh

325
00:15:42.600 --> 00:15:45.240
my god, Okay, we have to look her up.

326
00:15:45.919 --> 00:15:47.840
You would think that all these people could just buy

327
00:15:47.840 --> 00:15:54.480
a shredding machine or dig a hole somewhere. Oh my goodness,

328
00:15:54.720 --> 00:15:56.879
you guys, thank you for listening to us. We are

329
00:15:57.399 --> 00:16:00.080
slowly losing our minds and chose.

330
00:15:59.840 --> 00:16:00.919
To do it publicly.

331
00:16:02.080 --> 00:16:06.720
