Welcome to our podcast, Top Shelf Hygienics.
You are Pomona Bullets and I am Baroque Medusa.
And we are here to clink, clink and drink, drink.
Let us begin.
Good day, Pomona Bullets.
Good day, Baroque Medusa.
Happy fucking hot Sunday.
It's fucking hot down here already and it's only 11.15 AM.
Where the fuck is winter at, bitch?
Winners in SoCal are always hot.
I think we only had winter, like maybe a week last year,
whatever.
Well, you guys did have your hurricane.
Oh, yeah, I survived hurricane Hillary.
And then there was an earthquake.
I didn't feel that shit.
I don't know if I was on the plane or not.
Whatever.
All right, what are you drinking?
Let's start up.
Oh, guys, I'm taking it easy this morning.
I have a blue moon.
Oh, nice.
Yeah, with a slice of orange.
You know, making it official.
I haven't had that in the longest fucking time.
I forgot about that beer.
Yeah, it's pretty, pretty tasty.
You're keeping it light, right?
I had way too much beer yesterday.
So today, I guess sapphire with lime, sparkling ice lime,
because I can't do sapphire by itself anymore,
since I'm a fucking pussy.
Yeah.
You're still on that same bottle?
Oh my god, it's the fucking the big.
It's a big fucking handle, bitch.
Oh, got it.
Yeah, Costco one.
Yeah, that size.
I don't know.
I got it for a birthday gift.
Like, I was still working at Long Beach.
That's how long ago.
I'm like, I need to polish this bitch off eventually.
So that's when I started with the podcast.
Fancy that.
So how was the fair yesterday?
Oh my gosh.
It was OK.
Right now, I decided, well, breakfast of champions.
I'm eating beef jerky and sipping a blue moon.
And where's G-Unit at?
Tell her to make you some.
Her eggs are so fucking bomb.
I haven't had scrambled eggs in forever
because scrambled eggs is for toddlers,
but she makes bomb fucking scrambled eggs, bitch.
Yeah, I know.
Courtesy of her mother teaching her how.
Well, tell her to make you some.
I know I should.
Because I have fucking beef jerky stuck in my.
I've been flossing my fucking teeth.
I'm gonna smear my fucking jerky.
Yeah, I'm like, jeez.
I don't know because I'm at the fair.
Let the kids run around or whatever.
And then, you know, everybody, it was the fair
was about to close.
So it's all these deals.
They're three bags of beef jerky, 30 bucks.
I'm like, fuck yeah.
Oh, it's the homemade one.
Yeah. OK, good.
I was going to say, because that fucking slim
gym is fucking trash.
That's not even beef jerky.
I don't know what that is.
I don't fucking know.
That's it's like the meat from the talk or the what's
the jack in the box taco meat.
What the fuck is that?
Hey, then fucking tacos are bomb.
And I know.
But what is the meat since fucking college?
I used to love to fucking smoke weed and fucking eat those.
There they are pretty fucking good.
I mean, who would have thought putting
like American sandwich cheese and a fucking taco.
Fuckin' white crash people.
That's who fucking delicious.
Fucking delicious.
OK, so let me tell you about after you dropped me off
at the airport last week.
I guess I'm going to go into Rance right away.
Rance for PDX, not PDX, the people that
are trying to go home with me.
So we get ready to fucking board TSA.
Everybody there.
Everybody was cool.
The TSA line went by really fucking quick.
I go to, I guess when I'm ready to not check in, what's it
called when we're ready to board?
Why are there three people in front of me
that don't have their boarding pass out on their phone
or the actual boarding pass?
They get up to the front and they're like, oh, where's
your boarding pass?
I'm like, these fucking bitches.
And by bitches, they were all men.
I'm like, fucking guys, I don't know what the fuck is going on.
They're like, oh, yeah, you're holding up the fucking line,
bro.
I want to go home to Hurricane Hillary.
I want to be in the eye of the storm.
Yeah, there was a little bit of.
I was expecting more turbulence.
There wasn't that much turbulence.
That's good.
Yeah.
There was a fucking shit ton of accidents on the way home,
though, because you know I had that private driver.
Yeah.
There was, I counted, there was like 12 fucking accidents
all separate.
And I'm like, fuck, man, people need to slow down.
He's like, I'm going to be driving 55.
And I'm like, bro, you drive 45 if you need to.
It's fucking raining hard.
Don't worry about it.
God damn, I want to go home in peace or in one piece.
Not pieces.
Oh, fuck.
So it was raining when you got when you landed.
Oh, yeah, it was fucking raining hard when I got to,
I guess, the drop off point.
So when you land, like all the Ubers and everything,
and I guess not the taxi, so, but like Ubers, the lifts,
and then the private drivers of the shuttles,
you have to get bused to a separate location and get picked up
from there.
So I guess that alleviates the traffic congestion.
Oh, shit.
What did you go to?
Oh, fuck.
Yeah.
Well, I was going to, I was trying to fly out of Ontario,
but I had to stop like in fucking Oakland before I got.
Or San Jose.
And I'm like, well, if I stop in Oakland,
I'm just going to stay in Oakland.
Fuck.
Yeah.
Fuck.
I'm on a bullet.
So the only direct flight was.
Um,
I was going to go to the airport.
But I was going to go to the airport.
So the only direct flight was, um, out of LA.
So I'm like, let me just do LAX.
That's why I got the driver.
Yeah.
Fuck.
La X.
Oh,
and I'm good.
I'm glad I did that cause M would have been like,
I'm not picking you up.
No,
that's fucking rain.
Yeah.
Crazy.
And then one more thing about.
People on planes.
So I always like,
I always sit towards the back of the plane.
I don't know why I just fucking do.
That's my thing.
So my thing is this,
if you have your carry on,
if you're bringing a carry on and you need to put it in the overhead
bin,
if there is,
um,
space at the beginning of the plane, you know,
like in row 12,
throw your shit up there.
Like why do you wait to,
why do you drag it with you all the way down to 25?
Or at least that's what I do.
Yeah.
I don't know.
Everybody's different,
but that shit sets me off.
And oh,
those fucking bitches get on before me obviously.
And there,
I guess they were wrote whatever row they were there,
like say row 20,
why did they walk all the way to like row 22?
And they're like,
Oh,
we weren't paying attention now that we all have to back up on the
fucking one aisle plane because they have to get to row 20.
Oh fuck.
I'm like,
well,
these people are from LA clearly.
Oh,
shit.
Yeah.
I don't know.
How's your week been?
It's been pretty eventful.
Just working.
And yeah, I finally like did a deep cleaning
of my bathroom, walled the floors and shit
and moved a fucking heavy ass dresser.
Get all those.
Which dresser?
Or in your room?
Yeah, in my room.
Did you even go in my room?
No, because I wanted to see your neighbor's fucking yard.
I forgot to ask.
Yes!
I didn't want to intrude since I guess the mister was there.
Yeah, well, no fuck that.
It's my room, it's my domain, it's my house.
Just kidding.
Yeah, I was actually, I'm doing my, oh son of a bitch.
I swear to God, I don't know what they are.
They must be like half hippie, half crash, half fucking.
I don't know.
It's just, their yard is just fucking disgusting.
Ugh, I don't know.
Yeah.
You're reorganizing your room though?
Or you just-
Oh no, I had to, so I have this big ass,
it's like a fucking antique dresser
because I wasn't gonna buy new furniture
until I got the new house.
So I knew what to fucking buy.
Right.
So I'm rocking all this old shit that fuck, I don't know.
I think I've had it since high school.
Oh, okay.
I'll just sit around.
So my grandmother gave me this fucking dresser,
so it's like real, real wood, real heavy.
Oh, it's not plywood or-
No, it's not wood or whatever.
Yeah, it's not.
It's fucking wood.
So it just stays there and I can't really move it.
Well, if I try and move it, I'm going one in
and I'm moving it two inches and I go to the other side,
two inches.
Yeah, well, I haven't moved in in about two years
since I bought the fucking house,
but I dropped a cable cord,
like I was plugging in the Xbox
and the cord dropped behind it.
I tried to grab it, I'm like, what the fuck?
Oh yeah, so you had to move it together.
Yeah, I'm like, this is way too much fucking dust.
Fucking cheese.
Yeah, I did a deep clean in my room today too.
This morning.
I was already fucking hot, that's all I'm like,
let's start later because I want to get this done
and not do any manual labor when I get off the podcast.
Yes.
I want to chill, I have other shit I need to handle.
Yeah, like drink some more.
Do you work tomorrow?
Yeah, I work tomorrow.
Yeah, but next Monday we're off because of Labor Day.
Do you have to work next Monday?
Yeah, I do.
And it's-
Do you get time and a half then?
You probably get holiday pay, right?
I probably do.
Okay, I was just gonna say it's different.
I guess admin for retail, so.
I was kind of conflicted because I do the scheduling
and stuff and they're like, so Labor Day,
everybody's off, right?
Store's closed, they're like, fuck no.
Labor Day's our biggest sale of the year.
Fuckin', I don't know, I guess it's the biggest day for glow.
Yeah, I just figured the admin team though would be closed
or off or whatever, because admin's different than,
you know, the actual customer service or whatever,
but what do I know?
Shit.
Yeah, you would think.
But no, I work.
But if I'm getting time and a half or holiday pay,
I'm for it.
Yeah, that's true.
I really like your hair, so it looks good.
Oh, thank you.
You're getting this good?
I don't know, I don't know.
I'm kind of thinking I wanna go back to the way-
It was before?
Well, because what she used to do,
my stylist, she would just do the gray coverage
and then she would just pull up, you know, some highlights.
And it-
Oh, okay.
Yeah, and so I was used to that.
So if I put my hair in a ponytail or a bun, whatever,
I didn't see all those like little gray roots.
They would be covered at least for, you know, three weeks
until they start fucking growing out.
But she decided to not do the gray, the root coverage
and just do this full on, bitch.
I swear, I had like a hundred motherfucking foils in my hair.
Yeah, when you sent me the picture, I'm like, holy shit,
she could fucking like dial in the fucking space
with that shit.
Yeah, no aliens are gonna read my mind.
Right?
I was just like, what the fuck?
And she's like, it's gonna be great because
while you want to transition, I said, wait, wait, wait.
I'm not trying to transition.
No, you're the one who wants to transition.
Not me, I want my hair regular.
Yeah, I'm not gonna fucking embrace
the fucking full on gray, hopefully for another fucking
10 plus years because yeah, I just can't.
Do you have a lot of gray?
I don't have a lot of gray.
I mean, I'm graying, but I don't have like a lot of gray
for being, I guess, because I'm half Asian.
Thank God for my mom.
Otherwise I'd be fucking looking like I'm 90 years old
if I was full Austrian.
Well, yeah, thank God for my dad.
Right?
Yeah, my age, yeah, my skin and my,
fucking age and pretty well,
even I have a ridiculous lifestyle.
Not gonna look.
Right.
And, but yeah, I think it's from my mom because,
and I was the only one cursed with it,
this premature fucking gray that I started getting at 19
and shit.
Oh, that's like my sister-in-law.
I guess when she was born or whatever,
she had like a patch of gray, like ever since she was born.
And it's like at the bottom of her head or whatever.
But I was like, oh, that's cool.
It's like a birthmark, but for your hair, I guess.
I don't know.
I don't fucking know.
But I started, I remember I was about 19 and I would count.
I'm like, fuck, I have like 12 gray hairs.
And I wish it was 12 gray hairs.
Now, fuck no, it's, I'm scared.
I am so, I have fucking been dyeing my hair religiously.
And I, when I see the roots coming out now,
I'm just like, holy shit.
I'm like, downed off, fucking.
Fuck that.
I know my pressure.
Fuck that.
So that's why I decided to go blonde, go lighter.
Uh-huh.
Cause I was like, well, maybe it's not going to look so bad.
Cause I was just like, well, I have dark brown hair.
I'll just start brown.
But when the fucking roots started growing out, holy shit.
No.
So I decided to go blonde and I'm still going to go lighter
and lighter and lighter until it blends those fucking grays.
Fuck that.
So disgusting.
I feel so old.
And I'm only like, 43.
So no, you're good.
Chill out, bitch.
Yeah, I don't know.
I'm just, yeah, I'm just like, thanks mom.
It's the white side.
Yeah.
Thanks to the white side.
I got white hair.
So speaking of self-care, I don't know if you saw my forehead.
You know what Amelia is?
It's not pimples, but it's like under the skin,
like buildup, I want to say.
I don't know how to pronounce or how to describe it,
but it's not your actual pores that get,
I guess that is a pimple, but it's called Amelia.
Yes, my son gets that.
Okay.
So I've had that for the last year on my forehead.
Like it won't go away.
So my original dermatologist is down in Newport Beach.
So I'm like, fuck.
And my insurance now covers, or I guess I could go see her.
So I tried to make an appointment up here in the 626,
and this fucking dermatologist told me I need to get,
I get laser, like they wanted to laser my face.
And of course my insurance doesn't cover it.
So I'm like, bitch, this don't sound right.
Even though I think WebMD said you got to get laser
or whatever, I'm like, let me go to my dermatologist
in Newport Beach.
So I went on Friday and I told her what's going on.
She's like, your face isn't even that bad.
I'm like, you need to come closer.
You got to see my fucking forehead.
I'm like, even my, like right underneath my eyes
on my nose, it has Amelia there too.
And she's like, what type of sunblock?
She's like, you wear sunblock every day probably.
And I'm like, well, yeah, it's fucking SoCal.
Hello.
And she's like, well, you need to stop buying
the store brand ones, because I was using NutraGina
and then I switched to good molecules.
But she's like, that's what's causing all the Amelia
and it's not gonna go away.
So I'm like, well, the dermatologist up by my house
told me I need to get laser treatment,
whatever the fuck the laser thing is.
She's like, what?
No, you don't.
And she's like, insurance doesn't cover laser treatment.
I'm like, I fucking know.
She's like, no, no, no, no, no.
So she put me on, not hip hop, hooray, retinae.
So she, I have retinae now that I got to put
on three times a week.
And then she has her own skincare line.
So I've been always using her face wash.
That's, and it's in a big tube.
That's why I couldn't fucking pack it for TSA.
Yeah.
Anyway.
So now I'm on her tinted sunblock.
She's like, use my sunblock.
Your skin should clear up after the retinae.
And she's like, the retinae will help with wrinkles.
I'm like, okay, well, something happens.
But I'm fucking tired of this Amelia.
I was just like, I don't know what this is
and fucking laser treatment.
That sounds painful.
I don't know.
It probably isn't.
No, it probably is.
Because when I was getting some tattoos removed,
they use that laser, like little blast light thingy.
Oh.
Do you get scarred or do you have scarring from that?
Well, when it very first came out,
they, I don't know, they had it, I guess, too high.
And I scarred up on my fingers.
And, but they did give a nice little payout.
Because, yeah.
They payout?
Why?
You sue them?
No, but I guess I could have and they just said,
here you go.
Well, we fucked up.
We fucked up.
So here you go.
Oh, thank you.
But I, I don't know.
I was 20, 20 years old and I was getting them off.
Cause yeah, what, what lovely looking lady wants tattoos
all over their fingers and shit.
That's a Pomona and.
Are you for real?
Yeah.
What the fuck girl?
You can't put that on.
That is fucking staple fucking Pomona bullet shit.
I know.
Straight, straight.
They were Pomona.
Fuck that.
I grew up and then I was like, what the fuck?
I wanted to get the sun, moon and stars
or just the moon and stars on my,
I don't know how I was going to do it.
I was talking to my daughter's best friend's boyfriend.
How crazy is that?
My daughter's best friend's boyfriend.
He's a tattoo artist since all my tattoo guys moved out of.
Fucker, remember the tattoo shop
that used to be up the street from you?
Yeah.
Maybe the Loka or whatever.
Yeah.
La Vida Loka.
What was it called?
Oh, part of that.
No, part of that.
Part of that tattoo.
Yeah.
He fucking, he dipped out to fucking Amsterdam
and tattoos there now for like the last five, six years.
Shut up.
Yeah.
He's like, fuck California.
And he fucking left.
He bounced.
Good for him.
Yeah.
That's what I said.
But anyways, there's nobody out here that I know of, I guess.
So I was talking to my daughter's best friend's boyfriend
and I'm like, I want the sun or I guess the moon and stars.
I explained it.
And then I'm like, oh, summer's coming around.
I'm going to be tanning.
I never started tanning.
I was going to.
So I'm like, let's hold off to the wintertime.
And I'm like, now.
And I'm like, yeah, I'm not going to get that shit.
You're all sounding good.
And I.
It's not a good.
But thank God.
Thank God.
Summer rolled around because otherwise I had my hands all
marked up.
No, man.
I keep thinking I want to get some more work.
But I'm like, you know, well, if the Raiders ever
win the fucking third Super Bowl, I
will get a fucking Raiders emblem tattoo.
But I'm not going to just put one on me.
Yeah.
True.
I'll never get a lightning bolt ever.
Thank fucking Christ.
Shit.
I guess prayer is good for something.
Oh, shit.
OK.
So coming home from Newport Beach, I took the 57 North.
OK.
You know, that's that like, I do.
Labrea, whatever.
Is it Labrea?
Yeah.
It's Labrea.
So I didn't realize because I didn't take the 57 North or 57
South going to there.
I took the 605.
I'm taking the 57 North.
And all of a sudden it's like a dead stand still because people
don't know how to fucking drive.
Right.
Why the fuck?
OK.
So on the 57 North by Labrea, Labrea Canyon, whatever.
Yeah.
They are expanding the fucking freeway.
No.
Yeah.
They're expanding it.
However, you know, when they're expanding it,
they have to close the lane because they have to,
you know, for safety issues and whatnot.
So they can expand.
So it's fucking bottleneck, right?
Anyways, where am I going with this?
I am total.
I don't know.
Are you for or against?
This is a two part question.
Maybe it's a one part question.
Are you for or against freeway expansion
if it's just like for a part of the freeway?
Fuck no.
I'm against it.
Thank you very much.
Because guess what?
Even though you're going to have an open,
you're going to have an additional fucking lane.
You're going to have now five.
Five lanes, because the carpool lane, I want to say,
on both sides, north and south, that shit ends like,
I want to say it ends before the 91,
or however they're fucking doing it,
doesn't go all the way down to where the 57 ends or where
the 57, 5 and 22 merge.
So that shit's fucking stupid.
And plus they're fucking doing this where the canyon is.
I'm like, you can't dig into the canyon, bitch.
Like, what are you doing?
And then I am so against fuck out.
Yeah, because all the goddamn fucking,
it's just going to bottleneck before and after that.
It's going to, it just pisses me off.
People already can't merge when they're trying to get on the freeway.
So and then you're like going five miles
and then you got to fucking merge back to a four lane highway.
Fuck, thank you.
Thank you.
And it's always fucked the 57 to, you know where the 57 and the 60
meet going north.
There people still don't know how to fucking like get over
because it's so weird that the 57, I'm sorry, the 60 East.
Or I'm sorry, if you want to go 60 West,
you got to get to the right lane.
Yeah, yeah.
Hook over.
And then if you want to stay on the 60 or no, yeah, the 60 West.
Your East.
Yeah. So the 60 East, you got to stay to the left.
And if you want to, if you want to remain on the 57 North,
then you got to get all the way over to the right.
So everybody does.
Everybody doesn't know what the fuck to do.
I know, even though there's fucking signs and arrows, I need to know.
I need some down to 70.
I got my blood pressure is up right now.
I'm talking about this.
And your is a damn.
Who's old this bitch?
Completing about the goddamn freeway on a Sunday, no less.
Yeah, that I hate it.
And then so Cal, it don't matter.
Cal, trans, you motherfuckers just stand around.
You have five motherfuckers and two working like I don't know.
And it takes like 10 years to expand a freeway for five miles.
Thank you very much.
It's all about the overtime, bitch.
That's what I guess so.
And then they think if they do it at two in the morning,
it's going to be any fucking better.
Yeah, right. That's when you should do it instead of during on a Friday
at eleven o'clock in the afternoon or in the morning.
I'm just saying.
Or do it on the weekend.
Yeah, for sure.
Whatever or how about don't do it at all?
Yeah, how about back in?
Yeah, just get a horse in a carriage.
How about we just back and get rid of freeways?
Thank you very much.
If we can just teleport, that'd be great.
Yeah, bullet train.
Yeah.
Hey, do you guys still have that like metro link thing?
That little yeah.
And you know what?
We have the metro now or the metro.
Yeah, the metro link is the main one, I guess, out of LA.
But like they finally opened up the metro down here.
So it's like the shorts, I guess, the short shortened version, I guess,
or not the high end version.
And the last time I was on it, so I can take it like it's two miles
from my place that I go and then I can take it to Alvera Street.
And I did that like last summer, I want to say.
You know, what's really sad?
You've been to Alvera Street, right?
Yes. Yes.
OK, so during lock, you know, because of lockdown, a lot of businesses fucking closed.
My favorite Mexican joint at Alvera Street
that had the mariachi band and with the best.
What's it called? Not whoever's rancheros.
Chilaquiles. They fucking went out of business or they.
No. Yes.
Alvera Street, they still have the little shops,
but there's not really many restaurants anymore.
They all just went under and I fucking I was so pissed.
Well, I guess I'm not coming back anymore, but I guess the crime rate is high.
My daughter gets all don't go on the I'm just like, you know what?
If you pay attention and you're vigilant and you stay to yourself,
I don't think nobody will fuck with you.
They're not gonna fuck with me. I'll get all loud.
We're like the the chat like that's why we were never abducted as children.
They probably said this fucking brat, like get out, get out of the candy van now.
You know, speaking of, you got to watch.
Well, maybe don't watch, but do watch the movie, The Black Phone.
The Black Phone. Oh, I did watch that.
I fucking I can't believe I went because you know, I fucking love horror, right?
Yeah. So I actually went to the movie theater
and I cannot believe I didn't fucking walk out of the movie theater.
I wasted like almost two hours of my time that I will never get back.
The minute that fucking little boy said, are those black balloons in your car?
And I was like this fucking idiot. Of course they are.
You need to run. I loved his fucking sister, though.
His sister was hilarious and the serial killer's brother that was all coped up.
Oh, yeah. Yeah, those two.
I was just like, this movie fucking sucks.
Why is everybody talking about how it's so great?
Yeah, yeah.
And then and why are you going to fucking answer the phone
that rings and assignment plus?
Right.
And the fact that the serial killer didn't realize that the boy was digging
a hole or would hide it with a fucking with carpet carpet.
Shit. OK.
Oh, yeah, that movie was a disappointment.
But it was like a train wreck.
I fucking continued to watch the whole thing.
I did.
Everybody, everybody in the movie theater was just so entranced.
And I'm like, OK, I guess you guys are all.
Oh, you know what?
I guess they're all millennials.
I found out yesterday when I was hanging out with my my old coworkers
from when I worked at Long Beach.
I am not a boomer. I thought I was a boomer.
They told they told me I'm a Gen Xer.
Well, then boomer boomers are like in their mid fifties.
Like one of the guys there, he's I want to say he was 58.
He's like, Em, you are not a boomer.
So why is your daughter calling you?
Or, you know, I'm always says boomers going to boom.
Yeah. That's what she always tells me.
And I'm like, oh, I guess I don't know.
She's like, you're not a boomer.
That's me. He's like, you're not 50 or whatever, 55 plus.
I'm like, so so I don't know what Gen Xers are, but they told me.
Well, he told me I'm a Gen Xer.
There's a Gen X. Generation X.
Yeah. Oh, I heard that.
Yeah. So let me see what 43.
I'm sure you have to be too. Yeah.
I don't know.
Whatever.
You know, my dad used to say he was a boomer.
So I kind of thought if I was a boomer, well, I guess I just fell
somehow into that category.
No, I don't know.
But, you know, Fred Durst, limp biscuit, he's the same.
Oh, God.
And shit. And I was like, oh, maybe we are Gen X.
I fucking forgot about Fred Durst.
I fucking hate limp biscuit.
I know, but Larry was like my future generation,
Gen X and all that.
He's the fucking talk about that shit all the time.
Gen X. And I'm like, I don't remember.
I just remember that stupid song. I did it for the nookie.
I'm like, this is so fucking dumb.
There was only one song that I liked.
Well, I could stomach was the Roland song.
Oh, yeah, that one.
Yeah, I'll give you.
Yeah, that one. I actually like that song.
I ain't going to lie.
And you know what?
We're talking about haters or I guess the Gen Xers.
I actually like Kid Rock's first album.
So. Oh, yeah.
I can get crucified for that.
I'm sure I'll get crucified for that.
But I like Kid Rock's first album.
That's about it, though.
Yeah, I liked Kid Rock.
I liked Kid Rock's first album, too.
Fucking I think I fucking probably bought the was it a cassette?
I don't fucking know. No, I think it's no.
No, it was a CD.
Yeah, I'm the CD.
It was right when those little MP3s were coming out and I still didn't know.
I just had a fucking big old CD case in my car.
Right.
Oh, shit.
I remember I had some people.
They were I'm not going to say friends just acquaintances.
They would break into cars and instead of taking their fucking
radios that they used to do back in the day, those little pull out radios.
Oh, I forgot about that.
Yeah. Right.
Remember what was the brand?
I want to say there were Kenwoods.
Kenwoods and I think so.
So many had a couple of them, I think.
But Kenwood was a big one.
I totally forgot about that.
We would always have to pull the face.
I never had that.
I had a stock radio, but I remember that's right.
Yeah, we're all big.
I know.
Well, remember, you had to pull the fucking radio out and then it turned to
detachable face and then you just pushed a little button.
The face would pop off and put in your purse or whatever.
Go right. All OK.
So I'm on Wikipedia and so it says Generation X is the demographic
cohort following the baby boomer.
So I did not know that and preceding the millennials.
Of course, we know that.
So it's the birth year.
Gen X is birth years the late 70s to early 80s, but I was born in 74.
So we're in 80.
Yeah. OK, so I guess we are Gen Xers.
Well, whatever.
Oh, you learn something new every day.
So I'm just going to tell my daughter the next time she acts up and says boomer's
going to boom into the reference to whatever the fuck I'm talking about.
Like, no, bitch, I'm Gen X. So I recognize.
Got to go.
Hang it up. Bye.
So then what does that consist of?
Like, we just what we were like fucking overalls with one.
I guess down and is that is that art?
It says here on Wikipedia as sorry, as adolescents and young adults
in the 1980s and 90s, Xers were dubbed the MTV generation,
sometimes being characterized as slackers, cynical and disaffected.
Oh, that's me in a nutshell, I guess. Yeah.
Yeah, that was like, right.
Some of the many cultural influences on Gen X youth included a proliferation
proliferation of musical genres with strong social tribal identity,
such as punk, post-punk and heavy metal.
Yeah, it sounds like Teen Spirit now.
Oh, Jesus Christ. OK, moving right along.
Oh, wow. Well, I'm glad I'm not a boomer,
so my daughter can claimly fuck off.
Bitch, you're wrong.
You wrong.
Oh, geez.
Girl, do you have HBO Max or I always ask him, I always forget.
And I had it, but fucking I fish network.
They can't come to an agreement.
And I'm like, oh, I thought you actually have a kit you have satellite or whatever.
Because I before I before I boarded the plane, I watched
Tracy Morgan, you know how he got hurt in the he got.
I don't know if you know, Tracy.
Yeah, he got hit by a fucking Walmart trucker.
I don't know.
He got hit by a Walmart delivery truck, I want to say.
One of those big ones.
If I'm yeah, I was like his tour bus got hit by one.
Oh, yeah, yeah. There we go.
That's what it is. And then it took a long time for him to recover,
but he got fucking paid.
So he finally, I guess he made it back to stand up and I watched his stand up.
It was fucking great.
Really? Watch it. Yes.
Bitch. And since it's my daughter's,
well, it's since it's my daughter's HBO account, I don't even know the password.
Otherwise, I would give it to you.
But yeah, if you're able to watch it some way.
Because I downloaded the app to my phone and I was like, well, then fuck this.
I don't give a shit. And so I downloaded my phone.
I pay for it. So I thought I'd use it.
Yeah. So you should be able to watch it on your phone then or whatever.
But it keeps telling me, well, who's your network?
And I'm like fucking dish.
And I'm like, no, I'm like, well, then fuck.
I don't know.
Fucking pathetic. Whatever.
Yeah, I'll have to look into it.
They end up getting rid of Netflix anyway, since they fucking went up to like
twenty two dollars a month now. Really?
Yes, I just looked at my I hardly ever check my my statements or online
because, you know, I know how much I have or I don't have.
So right. It's rare that I check it.
And Netflix comes out automatically every month.
And I remember I used to pay like nine ninety nine.
And then it went up to twelve.
And then it went up to fourteen ninety nine.
And then I just looked this last fucking month or earlier this month.
Twenty two fucking dollars.
Like what the fuck?
I got that free year membership for, I guess, when I upgraded to an iPhone.
All right, switched out my Android for an iPhone with T-Mobile.
And I still can't log in with the instructions they gave me.
And I have yet to go to fucking T-Mobile.
Oh, God.
I could call T-Mobile so they can explain it.
But I'm like, I'll get around to it eventually.
I don't fucking care. I like I'm more of a Hulu girl.
I was that much.
It was costing twenty two dollars a month now. Shit. Yeah.
And they constantly fucking they'll tell you, oh, yeah, you you it was the show was on here,
but it expired now and we don't have it anymore.
So it's like, what the fuck, Netflix?
Jesus. And now they're doing this whole thing.
OK, I get it.
They don't want you to just buy an account and give it to your friends and family.
And everybody just uses one account.
So they are cracking down on it so bad that only five things can be
linked. OK.
So and so I'm like, what the fuck?
So my kids have, you know, my son will watch Netflix on the computer.
My daughter will watch it on her phone.
Shit. I'll watch it on my phone when I'm at work on my lunch.
Right. Cooked up to my TV.
That's already four.
So God forbid my son puts it on his kind of driving.
Right.
And then then my sister, yeah, I gave her my account.
So when I'm watching the password so she can.
She can't log in anymore.
I was like, yeah, you better give me $11.
That's half the fucking right.
Ription fee.
Fucking crazy.
And I was like, OK, Netflix, I'm getting rid of you and I'm getting two other
different apps.
There you go.
Plus or some shit or another peacock one.
My daughter does it.
I think it's five dollars a month, which isn't bad.
I can't believe it's that fucking cheap.
Nice.
Yeah.
But it's just so many fucking apps and I'm so fucking upset.
And I'm so fucking old.
And then, you know, they say you shouldn't make your password the same password for all
the fuck that I cannot remember.
All my work passwords, all my fucking personal fucking.
Right.
They're all the same password, maybe with a little bit of a variance.
But that right is me off too, because I think it's the same.
And then I'm like, oh, fuck, I forgot that was a capital.
And then I get locked out of my accounts and I get all pissed off like a grumpy old
lady.
Welcome to my world.
Yeah, all these fucking passwords.
And for a long time, I used to have a, when you have those old school Rolodex.
Oh, God, yeah.
Yeah.
I had one of those and it was for work, actually.
And when I left one of the companies I worked for, I bought the Rolodex, so it was mine.
I took it with me.
Okay.
And I was like, fuck, it's all these work passwords that I don't need anymore.
Who gives a shit?
I don't know.
So this was about maybe 10 years ago or so.
I decided to just use it as my fucking password, Rolodex, because I had so many fucking passwords.
And I was like, you'd write your password and put it in your Rolodex?
Yeah.
So it'd be like N, Netflix, username, password.
Oh, smart, smart, smart, smart.
Yeah.
Well, I thought it was smart and my daughter's all mom.
You know what?
She's all, if we ever got broken into like the house, she's all, people would just take
all your jewelry, all whatever, she's all, but they wouldn't even think to take a dusty
old Rolodex that has your whole life written down on it.
Right.
I was like, hey, yeah, so I guess it is a good idea, but yeah, I don't keep up with
it anymore because it did kind of scare me to think like, well, what the fuck if they
did?
Do you have a safe?
I do.
Well, fucking lock it up in there.
That's what I do.
Just lock it up.
I'm not going to say.
I don't keep up with it anymore because they'll say it's time to update your password.
And so all of them that I go and I'm like, did I fucking write the updated fucking password?
Right.
Honestly, I didn't and I don't fucking know anymore.
I'm just so grumpy.
So question then let's get into Rance.
I already did my Rance.
What I guess specific rant do you have for this week?
Pomona.
I was going to rant there's so much shit that I could rant about, but I don't know.
I think my biggest rant was again, going to the fair and just people.
It's just fucking people.
And it's a different demographic of people here in Oregon compared to Southern California
or anywhere else.
Yeah.
Patagonia and Columbia fucking gear, bro.
Yeah.
You're either one of them or your track.
Yeah.
Your track.
Your Rache.
And I don't know.
My rant is don't fucking mean mug me or look me up and down because I'm dressed in jeans
and a fucking t-shirt and took a shower and brushed my hair.
Opposed to you walking around and dirty ass crocs and fucking flannel pants and a fucking
like an orange or blue hair.
Looks like you died with clay and something I would have probably tried to do in junior
high and your fucking fat, not fat shaming because, hey, rocket, whatever body type you
have fucking rocket, just be clean and not smelly.
Yeah.
And fucking wear clothes that fit you.
I mean, just, you know, just got to do that.
We don't need to see all your jet pack.
I'm like, I don't know.
And even if those were jet packs, it would pick your ass up off the ground more than
the foot.
Like, I don't know.
I don't know.
And I hate that they feel that they have presidents.
They see me and I try to be nice.
Can you?
Yeah.
I try to be nice.
I smile or I'll say, excuse me.
And they'll just stand there like move or they'll walk and they'll just bump me with
their fucking shoulders and fit.
And it's like, what is going, what is wrong with you people?
Not only are you crash, you don't have manners.
You got broad shoulders, bitch.
Yeah.
Move out the way.
And then so I was walking.
Okay.
So I'm walking past, I guess, the animal section.
This isn't like the LA County Fair animal section where it's like, ooh, a horse.
Oh, there's the pigs.
And you just walk through.
No, it's like, shit.
People are showing off their chickens and like, I mean, they're like, oh, I'm sorry.
This is their lifestyle.
This is what they do.
It fucking stunk so bad.
So I put my like two fingers under my nose.
Walk through.
And everybody looked at me like if I was just straight fucking disrespecting them, like
get this bitch out.
She's like from around here.
Can we bring the man date back?
Yeah.
Get this fucking.
She must be from California.
Like get her out of our country fair.
Like fuck.
I was like, sorry, I didn't mean to be disrespectful, but shit, it's stuck like shit.
And I wasn't I wasn't even trying to go into the animal area.
I mean, animals are just every fucking where just everywhere.
Was the fair at the park?
No, this was the fair, the, the, the Salem fair.
So oh, you went to Salem.
Yeah.
Oh, okay.
Yeah.
Cause people were telling me, well, you got to go to that fair because it has rides and
those rides are all broken.
Don't go on those fucking rides.
I was like, what the fuck?
And they're, they're like, you have to go on the Ferris wheel.
No, but I'll pass.
Hard pass.
I'm not going on the Ferris wheel next to the goddamn cows and that's what people say
who are born and raised in Oregon and where Patagonia or Columbia.
Yeah.
I'm just like, I don't know.
And my horrible, horrible self, which I'm working on, I'm working on.
I just look at them like, yeah, you may have a blue color job or a white color job, but
I tell you that smart.
Like I called common sense.
Yeah.
You lack in that area.
Yeah.
It's just, there's just no way.
There's just no way.
And when I do talk to somebody who can hold an intelligent conversation, it's just like,
were you born here at nine out of 10 times?
They're like, no, I'm from Arizona or something.
I was like, we'll do it.
I fucking knew it.
Not from Oregon.
Yeah.
You were net-burning raised here.
I fucking knew it.
Little too smart for that.
But that's my rant.
My rant is I hate that.
Okay.
I'm also going to rant on myself because I do the same thing.
I judge people before I fucking really.
We all do that.
But it's just like, it sucks because how do you think you're better than me when you're
dirtier than me?
I just, that's just my rant because you can, you don't have to have as much money as me.
You don't have to fucking, you can live in a fucking trailer park.
I don't give a shit.
But take a shower and brush your teeth on your hair.
Don't fucking hate me because I'm clean.
That's exactly why they're hating you.
I'm assuming.
I would assume.
I don't know.
But who knows?
Maybe that's just their way of like greeting people.
It's just, they just want to step on your toes or give you, give you a flat tire.
Okay.
I'm tired of that shit.
Like how close you have to walk to somebody to cause, I think I got maybe four flat tires.
Like we don't know when people walk too close behind you and they step on your heel.
Oh, oh, damn.
What the fuck?
Yeah.
And it's like, what the fuck is going on?
Oh, yeah.
I don't know.
I've never had four flat tires like shoe wise in one day.
In one day.
My kids used to do that shit to me at the grocery store.
I hated it.
They had separation issues.
Yeah.
I was like, don't leave me it.
Don't tell me you're, I'm going to go to aisle two and then you leave and like abandon me.
Yeah.
They're just, I'm walking and I stop and they just, they're not looking and they just keep
fucking walking and boom.
I'm like, oh, you little shit.
Like I hate that.
I hate that.
Fuck it.
I only had one kid and then I got my two side.
I'm like, I am over this bullshit.
Yeah.
No fun.
So yeah, there, there you go.
I'll stop.
I'll stop there because I can just continue to rant about all the shit.
Then people are going to be like, come on a bullet is one grumpy fucking bitch.
Hey, we all are, but because we're Gen Xers, but at least we're not boomers.
Yeah.
Exactly.
I don't wonder why I was telling you, I got the boomer cars for that trivial pursuit
game.
I was like, why?
Oh, that's right.
Fucking yeah.
Okay.
So there, I guess our parents generation.
I don't know.
Whatever.
I would have seen myself.
It's crazy.
All right.
Well, I think we should end on that note.
Okay.
Do you have any last words, ma'am?
I do not.
The liquor store is now officially open.
It's 12 o'clock.
So I'm about to partay.
My self.
And my last words is you need to kick the can down the road.
I am kicking it.
All right.
I permanently not like on a temporary.
I'm kicking it and there's like a gutter right there.
All right.
Just kick it down to the next neighbor.
Yeah.
All right.
Okay.
All right.
Bye.
