Let's, let's, come on, give me a letter.
Hi, I'm Chris.
And I'm Micah.
And this is the Dona Barks podcast.
Yeah.
Uh-huh.
Well, we're back with another hot episode
of the Dona Barks podcast.
Happy Juneteenth, everybody.
Whenever this is released, it'll be released on Juneteenth.
For those of y'all that don't know what Juneteenth is.
So basically in Texas,
after the Emancipation Proclamation was written and signed,
the people in Texas didn't know that was a thing.
And so there were still slaves in Texas.
And that Juneteenth is when they found out
that, hey, we're finally free.
So that's one of the last slaves in Texas
were finally freed Juneteenth.
So I think that's right.
Yeah, I think that's-
No, no, you're right.
My question is, was it in poor taste
that we just did a jokes about ghetto and stuff like that?
But not really, cause-
Let me tell you something.
Ghetto is not a color, ghetto is a mindset, dude.
Ghetto is a mindset.
I love-
Ghetto people are funny.
You got high society people.
It doesn't matter what color they are.
I mean, most of the time they are predominantly white.
But ghetto people, you got ghetto people,
you got nerds of every race.
You got all different types.
So no, we are not stereotype.
Yeah, we love all of our types.
I just wanted to clarify,
we shout out everybody here, including the hood folk.
Well, you know what they say, I ain't got no type.
Cups with the ice and I do it every night.
That's a little throwback for you.
But yeah, we got a great show for you.
But before we do that,
give us a shout out of some of our people.
We got to shout out the international folks first.
Of course, we got Brussels, Belgium, right?
And then of course we got our Frankfurt, Germany,
and then Singapore has been really bringing the heat.
The heat map is just on fire with Singapore.
It's just crazy.
And then we got one in Australia.
And I hope they ain't offended by our Australian accents.
I'm sure they have been in the past.
That's okay though.
And we got some in the UK and over in Ireland.
I mean, we got a bunch of folks overseas.
And then here in the States,
we got ourselves Oregon, Washington,
California on the West coast.
And I mean, New Mexico is real hot.
Texas is always hot.
We got to shout out our home state and everything like that.
All through the South Georgia,
even all the way through the mid-America area,
which I don't, did you even know that was a name
of a region was mid-America?
That's a part of the United States.
Yeah, that's like the Midwest.
So that's how.
Yeah.
Yes, I knew that.
Most people actually don't know.
Just random note, I have no clue why I'm gonna say this,
but literally I was reading something about
how most people can't even name all 50 states
that live in the United States.
Well, I know I can't for sure.
I can't, I know them.
I know that they're there,
but there's a couple that I'll forget.
Yeah, so we're gonna hop into our first segment,
which is the old-fashioned donut,
which is a story from our past.
And we have done some of our crappy jobs from our past.
We've done people from our past,
but today, Micah and I are gonna talk about
the crappy places we have lived,
like crappy houses, crappy apartments,
because everybody has lived somewhere that's crappy.
Now, in America, what you would probably consider crappy,
other nations would consider a great place to live.
But crappy as far as American standards go.
So I'm gonna let Micah kick it off for us.
Boy, so my very, very, very first apartment,
which I guess a lot of people's crappy apartment stories
are one of the first ones,
or probably the first one is pretty bad,
but moved in and literally,
I mean, typical problems like,
okay, bugs and stuff like that, not just that,
but neighbors are a big thing
when it comes to crappy apartments.
And the people that lived above us were meth heads,
really, really high on drugs all the time.
And so it was just, you would see some crazy stuff.
Like, I mean, we were on the back porch one time,
I was just sitting out there,
and this guy walks up to the porch,
and he kind of like stares at me,
and then he says, yeah, so I'm about to climb up.
You know one of those, it's, what do they call it?
The water drainage pipes?
Drain pipe?
Drain pipe, yeah, I don't know why I couldn't think of that,
but drain pipe.
Ladies and gentlemen, it's been a long day,
can't tell, just FY.
But drain pipe, and he was like,
I'm gonna climb this drain pipe to the second floor,
if that's all right with you.
I've got a key to get in, like, is that fine with you?
And I was like, I guess.
And so then here goes this dude, and I kid you not,
like a squirrel, he climbed up that thing,
and then he hopped the rail over,
and let himself into the apartment up there.
And I was going, okay.
I mean, it was almost like a super,
you know, like super naturally,
there's no way that on his own,
he was gonna be able to climb like that, you know what I mean?
But you would hear all sorts of other things,
like people getting body slammed up there.
That's what it sounded like, at least,
like people screaming and yelling and throwing stuff,
and just all sorts of craziness.
Like they threw this party one time too.
And literally they said, like they told us
about it ahead of time, which was cool,
but they told us, because we asked,
like when is it gonna be wrapped up?
Like when is the party gonna be done?
And they said, oh, well, we're thinking like
three, four in the morning, right?
It's like, okay, not exactly ideal, but okay.
And no, no, no, no, no, no.
At three in the morning, it was still like ramping up.
Like people were still showing up.
Like we had a view of the parking lot,
and people were still showing up with like cases of beer.
Like they just getting there, kind of like showing up.
And so we had to get up to go to work,
like four in the morning, not four in the morning,
I'm sorry, seven in the morning.
And you know, there's three in the morning.
So it's like, we're already getting a few hours of sleep
as it is.
And they were just being so loud.
They were like throwing stuff,
people like throwing stuff up the porch.
And when I say it was a party,
so literally there was about 50 people in one apartment,
like right above us.
So it sounded like the whole roof was like
gonna come down on us with how many people
will have their feet up there.
And I mean, people were dancing,
the music was bumping, all that stuff.
Man, it wreaked marijuana like really, really bad.
Like it was just, it was so bad.
And then the third floor also decided
they were gonna have a party.
And what did they do?
They had a live band at their party.
And I was sitting here like, what is going on?
So of course we went up there to the apartment upstairs
and we said, listen,
you all said y'all were gonna be wrapping it up
around this time, you know?
And their response was, well, if you don't like it,
call the cops then, call the cops then.
And we weren't trying to make no trouble.
It was just like, listen,
we gotta get some hours of sleep or something, man.
Like we gotta get up to work in a couple hours.
So we ended up calling the cops
and like the cops shut it down.
And then after that, they were like really obnoxious
about like being really loud upstairs
or like making things like harsh on purpose, you know what I mean?
But like the whole place was just, it was a mess.
When I first moved in there,
they were, so you gotta think that I had just moved
out of my parents' house.
And this is my very first apartment.
And I had saved up for the deposit
and the first month's rent.
Well, here comes the second month's rent, right?
And I had been working this job,
well, the check bounced at this job.
Like I couldn't, and that's a totally different story,
but the check bounced.
And so I didn't have the means to pay the rent pretty much.
And so I told them, I said, hey,
you know, I'm gonna be a few days late.
I'm expecting it like the fourth or fifth.
If you can do me a favor and not tack on
those additional charges, you know,
that they have for being late,
like the late fees and things.
And they said, yeah, yeah, yeah, sure, no problem.
I kid you not, man, the third came around,
the fourth came around.
On the morning of the fifth,
I had a notice on my door that was like,
pay within 24 hours or you're gonna be evicted.
And it was like, what?
And not just that, but of course,
they had been tacking on the charges the entire time,
even though they said that they weren't doing that.
And I mean, the place was just bad.
It just bugs real bad.
And then also, there's like a beach volleyball court
behind us and like all the dogs,
like that's where they went to the bathroom.
And so when you watch people play in their bare feet
and they're like, oh man, that's gross.
There was a rat in the pool one time.
And I mean, that wasn't a mouse, that was a rat.
Like it was massive.
Just the whole place was like falling apart.
It was just, nothing really about it was really cool.
And the, you know, we also,
I also had three roommates as well.
And so it was, and I was in the bedroom
that I had was the smallest.
And so it was just really,
I teased about it being the two man cell
because it was like no bigger than like a two-man cell
in jail.
Not that I know what that looks like,
but just it wasn't really big.
Like it was pretty darn small.
You could fit a, like a full-size mattress
and you barely had room to fit
like bedside tables next to it.
Like that's how small the room was.
Sounds like a crappy apartment.
My first apartment actually wasn't too bad.
The only thing was that like when I moved there,
they were still like changing management.
So the water was not that hot.
There was not a lot of hot water.
But once I had moved in there,
it was, it got fixed towards the end of the time
that I was moving out in the three years that I was there.
And so my neighbors were actually pretty good.
So my first apartment wasn't horrible.
So, you know, you guys have heard the story about,
you know, me getting married and then getting divorced.
And then of course now I'm remarried to a wonderful woman.
But whenever that divorce was going on,
I moved into an apartment
and it was actually nicer than the first one
I had ever moved into, but the management was horrible.
The management was absolutely horrible.
You couldn't get anything fixed at all.
And I remember, I was actually,
I don't remember where I came from,
but I remember Michael went to go check on my cat
and he was like,
Hey dude, did you know you got a hole in the ceiling?
And I was like, what?
And apparently the, cause I lived downstairs,
apparently the upstairs, whenever they went to the bathroom,
like the water just dripped and dripped and dripped
that it made the ceiling moist.
And so it got so moist that it ended up turning black
and it got moldy.
Like it was black.
And it ended up to where the whole,
like a good part of the panel, the ceiling fell down.
And like I put in request after request after request
and like I called them, put it as an emergency.
Like I did everything.
And it finally took me having to go into their office
and being like, Hey, if you guys don't fix this,
we're getting the city on the phone.
I will call, I have the city on the phone right now
and you guys will get in trouble
for unsafe living conditions.
Cause this is black mold, like this is horrible.
But the one thing I've learned with apartments is,
always get everything in writing.
Make sure you get everything in writing.
Make sure you take pictures and evidence of everything.
But what also made this apartment was horrible was,
again, I lived on the first floor,
but the second, the people that moved into the second floor
right before I moved out,
they were young people that had,
this was their first apartment.
So like they were running all the time.
They had dogs that would run back and forth.
And so it was just a clock, clock, clock.
And I'm fine with that,
but it was like at one o'clock in the morning.
And so I was like, man, I have to be to work kind of similar.
It's like, I have to be to work early.
And so like I would like,
bang on the ceiling with the brooms,
like I was that neighbor.
And I remember again, they had a party
and like they were just being absolutely so loud.
And I had to be to work at like four in the morning.
And so I went up there and I was like,
hey man, like can y'all just keep it down like please?
And so I ended up moving out like a couple months after.
And here's one thing, man,
like however you feel about weed or whatever, that's fine.
And if you want to smoke it in your own home, that's cool.
But like my neighbors now,
they like sit out on the porch,
like in between my apartment and theirs.
And they're sitting kind of closer to my apartment
and like they smoke weed every single day.
And so it stinks up my apartment.
And I'm like, bro, like,
and it's like the smelly weed too.
It's like that scone.
It's like running over a scone.
And you're just like, dude, like please just stop.
And like they let their dogs off the lease.
Like they set sit on the stairs smoking weed
next to my apartment and just let their dogs
just like run out, use the bathroom,
not on the lease, nothing.
And I'm like, man, if you have pets,
like put them on a lease if you take them out,
especially if you're in our apartment setting.
So yeah, man.
Heck yeah, I totally get you.
And I will say this, the,
I'm gonna say this about the city of Lubbock.
City of Lubbock was quite difficult
to actually navigate who actually would fix the problem.
You know what I mean?
Or who we could call out there
because we called so many people,
we did this in and they're like, no, that's not my job.
And it's like, but what else do you do?
And couldn't really give you a straight answer.
You remember that?
We called a bunch of people and they were just like,
yeah, that's not my department.
It's like, who would it be then?
It's like, well, try this person
and you would try like this other department.
They're like, yeah, that's not really me.
Try this other department.
And we just got to run around the whole time.
It's crazy, man.
But yeah, there's living in crappy apartments.
I mean, everybody's gotta do it
so you can appreciate the nice stuff
whenever you do have it.
So it's at least four walls and a roof and you know.
Oh heck yeah.
We're gonna segue into our next segment
and that's the jelly donut and that's our jail report.
So what do you got for us?
Well, just like last week,
we were gonna change it up just a little bit
and we are going to do something a little fun.
And this one is actually the got fired,
funny got fired stories or the best got fired stories.
Okay, that's interesting.
You're fired.
I wanna find the Donald Trump clip
and just play it after each time.
You're fired.
All right, so the first one,
and these are all from Reddit.
I don't know, I like Reddit.
It's a time killer.
I have to really be careful about it
because yeah, Reddit.
Anyways, so first one,
during my senior year in high school,
I was working at McDonald's.
It was right after Christmas and we were really busy.
I was there four hours and had two to go
and was supposed to get a 30 minute break.
Since we had slowed down,
I asked my manager if I could have a break.
The assistant manager said that nobody was taking break.
And I said, thanks a lot.
She told the assistant manager
and she was pretty sure that they were being intimate together,
the assistant manager and this other person here.
Instead of thanks a lot that the person had told her to F off.
So then they fired her on the spot.
And so they wouldn't even give her that side of the story.
So a week later, she started working at Jack in the box
and was a shift manager in six months.
And then did that a couple of years in college
and then moved up to assistant manager
and then general manager.
And then she remembered how badly
she was treated at McDonald's.
And pretty much that was what it was.
And she's talking about how much better
she did as a manager later on.
But yeah, pretty crazy stuff.
So, and that seems to happen a lot, right?
Where you might be sassy one moment, just like, thanks a lot.
And then a coworker or the manager
and the assistant manager,
it's like they had a little thing together.
So then all of a sudden it's like, oh, that girl,
she told me to F off.
And those places like McDonald's, they really don't care.
So then it was just like fired on the spot.
Well, let's not brush past the fact
that so many places break the law
with not giving you the break.
You're required to have a break,
for however many hours you work, like every 30 minutes.
And so there are so many places they get away with that.
It's nuts. Yeah, it's just nuts to me.
All right, so the next one.
A customer called in, and this is at a call center,
sounds like, a customer called in
and was having a medical emergency on the line.
And the person thinks that it was probably a heart attack
but wasn't sure.
And so she used the phone in the empty cubicle next to her
to call 911, stayed on both lines and got EMS with her.
She was then fired because she took too long
on the calls already, and this call was exceptionally long.
Then also she made an unauthorized outgoing call,
and then C, she gave the customer's personal information
that she had gathered previously in the call
to the 911 operator.
So for those three reasons, she was fired.
Dang, that's messed up.
I would be bringing a lawsuit
because it's like, if I didn't call 911,
I would be going to jail for not rendering aid.
I would be bringing a lawsuit, dude.
Yeah, isn't that crazy?
Isn't that crazy?
The next one, and this happens quite a bit,
this one's actually quite short.
So this person apparently didn't reply to a text
from their boss for about 20 minutes
during their granddad's funeral.
And so apparently because they didn't text them back,
they got fired.
I feel like there's more to the story to that,
but at the same time, some of these vindictive bosses
will use anything.
No, I've seen text threads where it's like,
where bosses are like, hey, can you come in today?
I really need you to come in.
And it's like, no, I'm sorry.
I'm at my girl's boss shooting, and it's like, well, fine.
If you don't want to be a team player,
then just consider yourself fired.
And it's like, bro, I hate those kind of bosses.
Minds me of the boss at a boot corral for sure.
Oh yeah.
The guilt trip and kind.
Yeah, it doesn't matter what it is.
It's like, oh, so you're just going to be a weenie
and just let your granddad's, you know,
affect you from coming into work?
It's just like, I've worked three years
through all my grandparents' funerals.
I had every grandparent die, and I didn't go to one.
I was here every day.
I didn't even cry a tear.
It's like, yeah, well, that's you.
So, all right, so yeah, we have some experience with that,
if you can't tell.
All right, so the next one.
I was driving cars for a shady car dealership
and was getting paid under the table.
And they were kind of doing this as a filler job
because they'd been laid off from their job,
so they were kind of in between.
They got a call from his uncle
that he was having a suicide attempt
and they were taking him to a psychiatric ward
at the local hospital,
but and wouldn't talk to anybody else but him.
And so he said, I told my boss,
I got a role, like, hey,
and he said something like,
your job comes before your family,
if you leave, don't come back, so I left.
The next morning he hung up and asked me why I wasn't,
or he called me up and asked why I wasn't at work.
So I hung up on him.
Yeah, I hate that place.
That's places that are like,
your work comes from your family.
Any place that says, you know,
your work comes from before your family, not true.
Not true, you need to get out of there.
And my thing is they're also paying you under the table,
so they obviously don't care enough about you
to even sign you to, you know, any paperwork
to give you any benefits or anything like that.
So obviously they're not really on your side anyways.
All right, so the next one.
My wife got fired for giving an entry-level donor
and she worked for an art gallery,
a bottle of water at a big dinner at an art auction.
Her boss had insisted that there be no water at the event,
but when this particular donor asked for water,
my wife went and found water for them.
The boss found out and fired her for insubordination,
saying that I demanded no water be had.
So apparently this lady's got fired
because one of these high society art people
didn't want water at the gallery
and she wouldn't got water for somebody.
What's wrong with people, dude?
It's like you're taking care of people,
like pure people like that.
You know, and I'm sure a lot of the times
people get fired and they're like,
I'm kind of glad that I don't have to deal
with that crap anymore,
because I'm sure if she was dealing,
if that's the reason she got fired,
she was dealing with some other stuff too there.
All right, last one.
My first job ever was as a dishwasher.
I was so proud and I was 18.
Of course, my parents didn't believe me,
so my mom called them and asked if it was true.
They fired me right then and there
because they felt that I was reliable
and he says that I have yet to let my folks live that one down.
But yeah, so apparently they fired him as a...
Wait, time out, time out.
What was the reasoning they gave her?
They fired this kid because they felt
that he was unreliable because his mom had...
Oh, you said reliable at first,
so I was like, what?
I think he meant unreliable.
Sorry, I thought I said unreliable,
but yeah, unreliable.
So essentially they felt that he was unreliable
because his mother called him.
I mean, I kind of see their point.
I'm not saying it's right, but I do see their point.
If I had a mom call up there
and she was calling up there all the time,
I'd be like, yeah, no, you're...
And I told the kid this before, I'm like,
your mom doesn't work here, you work here.
So, I mean...
I understand that, but apparently this was just like
a one-time thing and it was because his mom didn't believe
that he actually got a job.
So all that she was doing was calling up there
and be like, you actually employ him.
And so then they were like, ooh, you're unreliable.
So my question is, what did mom say?
Like, do you really employ him?
He's a lazy good for nothing.
I don't know.
For them to be like, ooh, he sounds a little unreliable.
Let's fire him.
Yeah, so a little bit interesting story is about
people getting fired for kind of ridiculous, goofy reasons.
So yeah, we can also move into the next one if you want,
which is the donut hole.
Which, Chris, we got some interesting one here.
I know you always love these conspiracy theories.
Oh yeah, it depends on what it is.
Some of them are like, you are smoking too much crack.
When I hear these.
Yeah, well, this is why I love telling Chris
these conspiracy theories is because he'll give us,
you know, unfiltered opinion here.
So we're gonna start, and these are all ones that like,
maybe are a little popular, but not super popular, right?
So the very first one, what do you think about this, Chris?
Some people think that COVID-19 was engineered
by the media, that the virus is a hoax,
and it was engineered by the media to essentially,
because the media's ratings were down,
like news agencies, things like that.
And so essentially, they knew that this would create
mass hysteria and make their ratings go up.
So essentially it was a hoax
that they just made the whole thing up.
I don't think parts of that are true.
I do think some of that is true though.
I really do.
Oh, I definitely think it's embellished.
I think there's a lot that's embellished about it
to propagate it some more, but as far as it being
completely engineered by the media
and it being not a real thing, yeah, I don't think so.
Because listen, I've had COVID at one point,
and it's, I mean, you feel it, it's definitely a sickness,
and it's definitely not like something you need.
It's real for sure.
Do I believe that people made COVID in a lab?
Oh yes, I genuinely believe that they did.
I believe that 100%.
Oh, I do too.
And to be honest, yeah, absolutely, absolutely.
I won't go any further on that
because I can go down a whole rabbit trail on that,
but no, we're same on that.
I feel like that was definitely something
that was altered in a lab and accidentally released,
or maybe not accidentally released.
Oh, I don't think it was accidentally released.
I think it was all purpose, but, you know,
that's a different subject for a different thing.
That's a different conspiracy theory, right?
All right, so the next one here,
now you probably think this one's great,
that the earth has been sucked into a black hole.
And so right now, we're actually traveling
through the heart of a black hole,
and that is why we were seeing crazy phenomenons
that we haven't seen before, as in like weather
and things like that.
Okay, let me just stop you right there.
Let me just stop you right there.
These are probably the same people
that don't even believe in God.
It takes more faith to believe in that crazy crap
than to actually believe that God created a universe
and that work.
Now, I don't believe that 100%.
I believe that there's stuff going on on the earth,
but I don't believe it's because we're in a black hole.
Whoever thinks that is, won't be correct.
No, and I wanna say something else too.
Things about climate change,
I know that's a very hot topic issue,
but the things about climate change,
we understand that the earth goes through its ebbs
and flows.
I mean, it went through an ice age well before
we introduced a lot of the pollutants
that are damaging the planet now, so-called,
and melting the polar ice caps.
I get it, and there is warming,
but how much of that is natural,
and talk about holes, nose, own layer, and things like that.
Did you know that the planet Venus
actually had a stable atmosphere to one point
and literally their ozone got punctured
until now it's, it's where all the heat radiates in
and everything like that, but can't get back out.
That's why it's so darn hot.
So, but at the same time,
that was just the natural ebbs and flows of the planet,
not necessarily what we as humans have done.
You know what I'm saying?
So, I think things are going on with the planet.
I don't think we're in a black hole.
I think it would be a lot more obvious.
I think we'd be seeing some weird, weird things
as we're traveling through it.
You know what I mean? As far as when you look up in the sky,
it wouldn't just be like the Milky Way at night.
We'd be like, it would look like we're moving
or like some weird things be happening.
I don't think it would just look normal
like it does right now.
You might have heard this one
and Family Guy has made a joke about it,
but Disney is actually a frozen
and he is going to come back at some point
and be reanimated whenever that,
I guess kind of like Futurama
whenever the little timer goes ding.
How much do you believe that Disney is actually frozen
and will be reanimated at some point?
I don't think he will be,
and we're talking about Walt Disney just for clarification.
I do not believe that he will be reanimated.
I do believe that he is frozen
because he was a weird dude,
not the best guy in the world at all.
Quite racist actually.
Very racist.
Hated Jewish people.
And so if you hate Jewish people, I'm not with you.
So yeah, but I do think he's frozen.
I heard he was very eccentric like that.
I can imagine, but I don't think,
I think at this point they were to,
it probably would have been for like the year 2000
or something like that.
And if the orders were to reanimate him,
they probably just defod them and just like, yeah, he's dead.
But anyways, all right, next.
This one's a little interesting.
And I didn't believe that,
I thought this was a joke, right?
But actually there's a whole campaign
that believes that this is a thing.
That Prince Charles of England,
or I'm not sure how the royal family is,
or is it like the Prince of Wales or some, I don't know.
Anyways, Prince Charles is a vampire actually.
I guess he's King Charles now.
Well, I mean, he's been around for a long time.
I would believe that, you know,
Queen Elizabeth was a vampire
because she was holding on for God knows how long.
But I mean, I think that's, I don't know.
I don't know.
Well, and the supporting theory behind it
is because many of the royal family in Charles's bloodline
were known to have a disease called Pormorpha.
It's an iron deficiency,
which causes people to be sensitive to sunlight
and a bunch of other kind of medical issues.
And so how they get around that is they drink others blood.
I don't know, maybe.
And that's how they're around so long.
They do some weird stuff.
I mean, one of them is a straight up pedophile.
Yeah, that's true.
And then they have somebody to wipe their butt for them.
Anyways, all right, so here's the next one.
The Nazis actually had a secret base in Antarctica.
I've heard this one before.
I don't think that's true.
I really don't think that's true with how cold it is.
And I just don't think that that's true.
And to expand upon it, just for the viewers at home,
what it is is it was around the 1950s
that the Nazis had.
They said that there was a secret base in Antarctica.
And the 1950s is when the rumor started,
but they had the secret base in Antarctica
during the Second War that housed advanced technology
like UFOs and biotoxins,
things that they were testing
that they didn't want on the mainland,
that sort of thing, nuclear warheads, stuff like that.
However, there's been no evidence to suggest that it's true.
I don't necessarily think it's true.
I think it's one of those things.
I mean, it's the 50s, right?
You just got out of the war.
You're talking about a bunch of dudes who just got out of the war
and are still worried about stuff like that,
or, you know, ooh, there's a weapon stockpile
in Antarctica or something like that.
You know how that kind of stuff goes.
Yeah, it's like a whole bunch of third graders.
It's like, oh yeah, I heard Mrs. Jenkins,
she had fake eyeballs and she has to actually plug them in
and recharge them and they have lasers on them.
This one kid and be like, oh yeah, I heard last year
this one kid, he got made her mad and she obliterated him.
It's like from the sandlot.
It's basically from the sandlot when they tell the story.
Pretty much.
All right, a couple more here.
So the next one, this one is really okay,
but we're all living in the matrix just like the movie.
And literally we're just in a real life simulation
and we are, our body is actually somewhere else.
And this explains deja vu and that would be kind of the
glitch in the matrix, per se.
I think that person really just doesn't want to deal
with the reality of life, whoever thinks that.
And I mean, I think deja vu is,
I think you have like dreamed where you're at.
And I think that's, you know, maybe you're just like,
oh yeah, I've been here before.
Maybe you dreamed it and forgot about it.
I don't know.
That might count for deja vu, I don't know.
But yeah, I think whoever believes in that,
I just don't think they want to face real.
Definitely an interesting one, as is our last one,
which the last one is, the moon is not real.
Okay, don't even, that's just, that's just asinine.
That's asinine.
So this particular conspiracy theory has gained traction
that they say that the moon is simply a projection
because at this point, when the government started
projecting it in the 1800s, that literally,
who can say that they haven't been projecting it
since that point, and it's just that projection
that's been there.
But the moon controls the tides, right?
Is that true?
Yes, and not just that, here's something else
to refute this as well on the other end of this.
Think about this.
Most of the major scientists, most of the major tribes,
most of the major peoples who were earlier early on
tracked the moon phases.
And it was a way of life to track the stars,
especially the moon, because it's a giant, shiny,
or orbit around our planet.
So there's been plenty of documented cases that,
before, people have definitely seen the moon,
and it's not just a projection.
Yeah, I don't know, man.
I don't know what people think.
So this leads to a more popular one,
and this isn't on the list, but I'm just gonna,
do you actually believe that we've been to the moon,
or the popular conspiracy is that it was in a studio,
and essentially when we were in the Cold War with Russia
that we had to be first, so we did it in a studio,
and Neil Armstrong just hopped around the studio
for a little bit.
Yeah, I don't believe that we were the first.
I do believe that we went to the moon later.
I do believe that we have been to the moon,
but I don't believe that we were the first.
In 1969, I do believe that it was filmed in a studio.
I just think it was kind of one of those things of,
yeah, we have to be first, and we gotta beat Russia,
and they already said.
And they had already spent a dog and a monkey up there.
Yeah, they had already had Sputnik,
and dude, every time I hear that,
I hear it from Toy Story 2, it's like two words,
Sputnik wants to astronaut, sweat up,
children only want to play with Space Dots.
But yeah, so kind of some weird crazy conspiracies there.
The one that just gets me is like, the moon isn't real.
It's like, please tell me you're joking,
but people do believe this stuff, it's incredible.
Well guys, we are going to skip the What Fries My Donuts,
because we are just gonna have a positive episode
with a whole bunch of peace, love, and tranquility, my guy.
But we're gonna do our mystery donut,
and that's our improv segment.
So let's pull an accent out of the hat.
Oh man, it's New York.
Oh yeah, so let's see what these New Yorkers
have to do for their scenario.
I'm gonna pull one out of the hat.
Okay, I don't know who put this one in the hat,
but jury duty.
Have you ever been summoned?
Have you ever been summoned for jury duty?
So I have, but then they dropped the case,
or something happened with the case tour,
we didn't have to be a jury, so it didn't matter.
Like it happened like the very next day
after I got the full jury duty card.
Oh, okay, I've never gotten one, ever.
I was kind of excited to get out of work for a few days.
Yeah, exactly, but okay, do you wanna start?
Or I'll start, whatever.
Yeah, I can start.
You know, here's my problem.
I'm looking at this guy, and he's looking over here,
and I know he's guilty.
I mean, look, he's looking over here,
he's looking all sad eyes,
like he's little puppy dog Maki over here.
I know for a fact, he did it.
He literally got on that motorbike and he's sped away.
Listen, I can tell you that right now,
just by the little skeevy look on his face.
Well, I'm gonna make a motion for the judge to dismiss me
from the jury duty because it's a conflict of interest.
I will be guilty by association.
This guy knows my cousin, Big Nose Barone,
who's married to his cousin, Maria,
who's married to her aunt, his uncle, their stepson, Christopher.
Are you telling me that you're related to Christopher as well?
Yes, I'm related to Christopher.
He's my no good nephew's cousin's uncle's aunt's
daughter's godson.
Oh, so you must be from Paloma.
Paloma?
What do I look?
That's where your family's from, yeah?
Paloma, does it look like I got the big nose?
That's my cousin, Big Nose Barone.
But I'm telling you, I know this guy probably did it,
but we can't rat out our own people.
That's just not the way of our people.
I understand, but look at his face.
Look what he did.
He was running around with the wrong crowd.
You don't understand what I'm saying?
You can't be doing that.
By the boom, we bite him over, bake him some nice ziti,
we give him some cannolis.
It's all good, done.
We don't have to go through this jury business.
Listen, all I'm going to tell you right now
is we've got to do what's right.
We've got to do what's right.
Because you know who else is Italian, the judge in this case.
We're not trying to get somebody else in there, all right?
Hey, you know the code.
We don't whack anybody or send them off to the electric chair
without the consent of the Godfab.
You talking about Tony Tupino Tony?
Tupino Tony?
What are you, a bull run?
I'm not talking about Tupino Tony.
I'm talking about Don Caroleone.
Hold on.
What family you is?
I thought you were part of the same Kappa.
I don't know who you're talking about.
Caroleone.
Who the heck is that?
All I'm saying is I was with your mother's family last night.
Listen, we don't need to bring any of that, any of that.
All I'm trying to see is who you're part of.
Listen, I don't need any lip from your stupid mouth.
Well, I'm going to get out of here and scram
before Big Nose Bro comes and finds me.
You know he's got to get the gab,
and I'm not trying to be here for another three hours
listening to his whole lecture.
If I wanted to do that, I would go to mass.
Listen, all I'm telling you is you probably
get out of here stupid, but you're
starting to get on my nerves.
That was our improv segment.
It's always very hard to keep it clean.
Yeah, that's what I was going to say.
It's hard to keep it clean because I just
want to really, really be like New York.
Shout out to our New York folks, even New Jersey folks.
Y'all's accent is great.
I love just walking around talking like that.
It's a little weird down here in Texas,
people give you looks, but it's fun to do it.
I wonder if people up there want to talk like Texans.
I bet you that's fun for them.
Dude, do it.
I would love to see it in New York or be like,
I tell you, you would.
I would love that.
That'd be great.
It'd be great.
So we are going to segue into our E-Claire, which
is our positive advice.
And I don't remember who went first last week,
but I'm going to be a nice gentleman and let you go first.
Aw, I was about to say good because it
was me that went first last week.
But here, I'll go first again this week.
So my E-Claire this week, I know it sounds like the whole
cliche thing, but keep your eyes open for opportunities
that are coming.
And the whole Michael Jordan poster of you
missing 100% of the shots that you don't take.
Well, it's true.
I thought that was Wayne Gretzky slash Michael Scott.
No, so it was actually Michael Jordan.
That's what I love about that show
is he always be getting quotes wrong just like when
he pulls up on the PT Cruiser.
And he's listening to a Lady Gaga song,
and he's like, it's Britney P. And anyways, Michael Scott's
great.
Shout out to the office.
But yeah, no, it's one of those things, man,
to where you just got to get out there and really
keep your eyes open for the opportunities.
Because sometimes you only get one.
And I'll put it to you this way.
I had an opportunity to come about via text message.
And I kid you not, it was based on a decision
that I made in my mind.
And that decision and that gut feeling literally said,
text them back and be like, why not me?
Because it was about a job at one point.
It was like, we're having a hard time finding this person
and all this other stuff.
And I knew that I could do the job.
And it was a heck of an opportunity for me.
It was way out of my league.
But I said, why not me?
And I ended up getting that job.
I ended up not staying at that job too long
for some other reasons.
But at the same time, got me to where I am today anyways.
So it was one of those deals to where
if I didn't take that shot, if I didn't believe in myself
and I didn't say, hey, why not me?
Why not me being in that spot?
Then I wouldn't be where I'm at right now
and wouldn't have the growth and wouldn't have some
of the features that I have that really helped me excel.
Yeah, that's good stuff, man.
I know this is really cliche and cheesy,
but be real, be authentic, be yourself.
And I've talked that to our kids today,
just kind of letting them know, man, like, hey,
all of us want to fit in, right?
And I'm sure a lot of us have done some stupid stuff
to fit in or we've lied about stuff about ourselves
or we've kind of hidden parts of ourselves from others
just to fit in and give you an example
when I was in middle school,
I wanted to be liked by the urban crowd.
So I would wear, dress like they were wearing.
I wear the baggy jeans, the flat bill hats.
I think I wanted to get a grill at one part.
Yeah, and I'd be talking like, yeah, yeah, yeah, man.
Oh, I still want to get a grill.
Yeah, I'd be like talking like, yeah, yeah, yeah, man,
yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, what's cracking my, you know.
They let me say it, they let me say it,
they let me say it, my friends like.
They gave him the card, they gave him the card.
I was a witness, they gave him the card.
I mean, that really wasn't who I was.
And I found out every time I tried to fit in
and tried to be something that I was not, you know,
I would get friends that weren't really the best friends,
but as soon as I started being myself, you know,
that's when the true friends came around.
So just be yourself.
Don't worry about who likes you and who doesn't like you.
If you're just yourself, the people that really matter
will like you for you.
And I know that that sounds really weird and cliche,
but we live in a fake society, man.
And everybody wants to put on the Facebook
and Instagram filter and make their life pretty,
but just be real, be you.
Yeah, that's all I got to say.
Yeah, bro.
We live in a fake society where being real
will get you punished and that ain't cool.
So, but anyways, that's why you gotta be real.
That's why we love people on this podcast
because we've always been, you and I both been the dudes
that have, you know, swam against the current
and swam against what's common or mainstream,
done our own thing.
So, and we enjoy our listeners being the same way.
So yeah, man, so tvtrashcan.com, tvtrashcan.com.
Of course, we got the Instagram, the Facebook,
all that good jazz, YouTube, go follow us, like, subscribe,
go talk to us over there, all that good jazz.
What else we got to say, Chris?
I think that's it, man.
I think it's it.
Just enjoy life.
Have we have one on your something?
Have we left no stone unturned?
Oh yeah, exactly.
Oh yeah, I was gonna make a father's day joke
because neither one of us have a dad,
but you know, I figured I would.
But happy father's day to all the good dads out there.
Mine's no longer with us and we won't go into the other one.
Mine's a piece of crap.
Anyways.
Yeah, but anyways, guys, we're going to sign off.
I'm Chris.
And I'm Micah.
And this is the Donut Box podcast.

Yep.
Fuck yeah.
