SPEAKER_02

So in August, we're coming up on two years of Gilded Trash.

SPEAKER_04

Wow.

SPEAKER_02

I know. And uh we've talked about this a couple times, but it's so the highlights for the news cycle this past two weeks has been the bunny jelly roll divorce.

SPEAKER_03

That's all I've seen in my feed. My God, do I not care that much. Here's the thing is I'm not against jelly roll, I'm not against bunny extra, I'm not against marriage. I don't care anything about it, really, honestly. However, I mean I like jelly roll, like I like some of the songs and stuff, but proportionately, for the amount that I've had to read about it, look at about it, listen to it through my scrolling, it's incessant. It is, and it's it's it's cumbersome at this point.

SPEAKER_02

Everybody has a take, TMZ is all over it, like people magazine is all over. It's like everywhere, everywhere.

SPEAKER_03

And I don't know if the the other part of it too, the weird part is like it's not like Jelly Rowe is the most famous person in the world or something.

SPEAKER_02

No, it's not. And and there's two camps, and we'll get into that. So, full disclosure, everyone, this week's episode is one of those a little bit deeper ones. We're gonna get deep, but we'll bring it back around home with some funny shit at the end. So hold on, I guess. Um, we'll get through it. But the reason, so yeah, it's in the news cycle, right? But full disclosure, and we've talked about it before. I wanted to even start a podcast because of me following Bunny XO, right?

SPEAKER_03

And so she had a podcast.

SPEAKER_02

She did have a bot a podcast, but it's like deeper than that, even, right? So in 2015, we had just gotten back from Myrtle Beach, and you and I had been we we would we had been together for about three and a half years, or no, wait, let me think about that. Um we got together in 2009. So we had been going, we had been together coming up on six years, or we had just hit our six-year mark when we got back, and we were at three and a half years of marriage. Yeah, because yeah, that so three about three and a half years of marriage. And when we came back from Myrtle Beach because you were like deep in your addiction.

SPEAKER_03

Oh, yeah, probably the worst I ever was. I mean, that that maybe not the worst, but certainly it was bad.

SPEAKER_02

The worst for me is you being together.

SPEAKER_03

Well, I don't know though. I would argue that later it was pretty big.

SPEAKER_02

Well, yeah, I mean it kind of from 2015 through 2015.

SPEAKER_03

Right, it's all one period of time. Yeah, it's all one period of time. This that like three to four year period there is like yeah, absolutely. Absolutely. Um, but regardless of any of that.

SPEAKER_02

So when we so when we got back from Myrtle Beach, like I was trying to figure out like how we were whether or not we were going to work. Um, I was trying to figure out like just who my real support system was, right? Because that's the one thing that I hated about being so far away in South Carolina was that like my son's grandmother called me a lot while I was down there. So the people that weren't

The Jelly Roll Divorce Oversaturation

SPEAKER_02

really living it or were close to us back then, they I don't know if they didn't believe how bad it was or if they thought this is crystal, she's strong. Do you know what I mean? But like I wasn't getting a whole lot of support. I felt like I was going it alone, right? So that's when um I guess Instagram was already had taken off, but I wasn't really in those. Like, I didn't do like Twitter and Instagram a whole lot, right? Well, then I got on Twitter and Bunny kept popping up in my feed. And this was before I listened to Jelly Rolls' music. I think it was before he really blew up.

SPEAKER_03

Right. I mean, he was popular, and people you probably knew who he was because he was on some like we were vaguely aware of him much before, like in the because of we lit of like the country rap scene, right? Like which I'm deep into. I'm deep into the country rap. I know every country rap beef.

SPEAKER_02

Do you really?

unknown

No.

SPEAKER_02

Stop it. I was like, did you start studying this while I wasn't paying attention? No, you're talking about country beef raps, which are a little bit more.

SPEAKER_03

No, I'm talking about country rap beef.

SPEAKER_02

No, country beef rap.

SPEAKER_03

Yeah, he was involved in some country rap beefs. He he was beefing with other country beef.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah, Ryan at church.

SPEAKER_03

Well, this is long before this.

SPEAKER_02

So yeah, there's all that, and that actually plays into their divorce a little bit too now, or the rumors, I would say, around their divorce.

SPEAKER_03

Right, because we don't know. No one knows, obviously. You can't know unless they've stated. And people have read what they've said, what they have said, they've read a lot into, but that also doesn't mean that that's what they've none of it.

SPEAKER_02

Right.

SPEAKER_03

So I'm not gonna make any assumption as to what the but again to your broader point, because I'm just kind of setting up the rumor is that this is sort of one of the things that's played into right, one of the reasons.

SPEAKER_02

But I'm I'm like kind of framing the scenario of why I felt so attached to Bunny. Because in 2015, I think she was going through it with him publicly on Twitter, or it was between 2015 and 2017. She was going through it publicly with him on Twitter, and I was team Bunny all the way. And what I saw was a strong woman who was being harassed because of her history, right? She was a porn star, or not a porn star, but she was an escort. Um, and I thought it was really cool that a former escort could have a podcast and that people would like love her, right? And again, this was years ago, and so obviously I've grown as a person now, so it's not as unfathomable. You see all the people absolutely.

SPEAKER_03

I mean, it's here's the thing is like we've talked about this before too, with like or maybe we haven't, I don't know. But I can't remember what we've talked about when we have to um that you can very much associate with a person at one period in time. At one period of their life, and then and that you relate to. Right. That doesn't necessarily mean that you like wholeheartedly lock stock and fucking barrel, agree and worship them. Right. But so many times people want to take that. I think that goes for anything. It doesn't just have to do with this. It goes, it's a broad statement about the way that people attach you to people that you so-called admire, make a good state, support, or whatever. Right. Because it's like just because you you know what I mean?

SPEAKER_02

Like it's you're bringing up a great so there's a great uh reference to that right now in in the media, which is Jack Osborne going to the UFC thing.

SPEAKER_03

Right. And I mean we've heard it from a crowd, because of course, you know, being comedian, like I follow all the comedy news, you know, of course.

SPEAKER_01

Sure.

SPEAKER_03

And you know that like it they like wrote everybody through the ringer, but they don't care because they're already associated with, but they threw in Nate Barghetsi this time, remember? Yeah. This poor guy who like you know, God love Nate. Like, he doesn't try, he he's like Jimmy Fallon, dude. He's never going to give you a

Why Bunny XO Felt Personal

SPEAKER_03

take.

SPEAKER_02

Right, right.

SPEAKER_03

No matter how hard you try, no matter what's going on, he just tries to support everybody, like doing whatever.

SPEAKER_02

In real life, and I don't know him in real life, but I'm saying, like, in real life, I'm assuming that he's the guy that you ask him a serious question and he responds with a joke.

SPEAKER_03

He always deflects, he's never gonna give you and now I'm sure that he has opinions, but I'm sure that like he talks about that with his friends and his wife. Right. You know what I mean? People that know him know how he feels about things, but that's the only people that should know.

SPEAKER_02

Exactly.

SPEAKER_03

But regardless of any of that, and w uh back to Jack Osborne, who again a huge UFC supporter, always has been.

SPEAKER_02

And people are making it political.

SPEAKER_03

Yeah, people are making it political when it it it really, and they're like, Well, I yeah, they're like, Oh, you're being complacent with uh that you these are all stretches, like to say that this is like some sort I like it's all a stretch.

SPEAKER_02

And it like it's just it's or like TMZ trying to get in Shane Gillis's face as he was leaving, about to go and Shello Obama.

SPEAKER_03

It's just all about getting headlines, clicks. That's all it is, it's about getting a headline that did that can generate clicks.

SPEAKER_02

That's all it's that's bullshit. I wish I wish we could go back to the time where politics and religion were only spoken in closed.

SPEAKER_03

I wish we could go back to the time where the pre not everyone had a voice. Not everybody needed a voice.

SPEAKER_02

Right.

SPEAKER_03

This is what I I there were some people that did need a voice, but there was ways to get them out there, man. And we didn't now everybody that's the the solution is not everyone having. If some people have a voice that and some people don't that should, the solution then is not to give everybody.

SPEAKER_02

Everybody a voice. It's overcorrection.

SPEAKER_03

It's overcorrection. Not everybody needs a voice. Some of you, matter of fact, need to stand the fuck out. Because it's it's painful for some of us. It's painful for the 50% of us that really don't give a about anything other than just your general life and the people that I care about and love. Right. You know what I mean? Like it's has I don't it's it's gonna be shit coming at you no matter what happens, no matter who's in power, no matter who's calling the shots, no matter where you're at in life, it doesn't matter if you're poor or rich, you still get shit dumped on you by life because life is life, life is life, and the system that we live in sucks.

SPEAKER_02

Right.

SPEAKER_03

And we can't worry about the things that do matter. I I mean, in the way that we should.

SPEAKER_02

Right. Because we're being distracted by this shit.

SPEAKER_03

Everybody have an appointment, and it doesn't matter. So exactly. But regardless of any of that back to uh what did we brought that was all about Jack Osborne, but where were you going then?

SPEAKER_02

So we were just talking about how, like, again, back then I was like about how you can support somebody at one point, not right, and just not anything. That's not a blanket agreement to and it's not like I found anything out or whatever, but I did so when when I first got on social media, um I I did a lot of bunny posts because like I was attaching myself trying to figure out what my niche was, what was I going to report on or whatever, what was I gonna talk about? And I just felt like so bunny has her podcast, she has Mimi and Haley who are with her all the time, they do socials, so there wasn't anything to talk about because to me, there was nothing controversial or nothing like newsworthy, or and because of the following that she has of people who are dedicated, you couldn't take the anti-bunny position any in anything at all, in anything, like because then you had all these like fucking masses of people who never met her in real life, right, would come after you and be like just vicious for having a like a difference in opinion.

SPEAKER_03

I think this just goes to again, just back to what we're saying, though the internet sucks, dude.

SPEAKER_02

It sucks so bad.

SPEAKER_03

And the thing is, is like because of the like just like you said, but that also brings out all these weirdos.

SPEAKER_02

Like um these people that need parasocial relationships because nobody's talking to them in real life.

SPEAKER_03

But in real life, that's exactly right. And the thing is, is like people like then they latch on to these like public figures, like you said, who they never contacted, well will never talk to in real life. They're never gonna none of these people care about that, and vice versa. It's a blind allegiance.

SPEAKER_02

We were talking about parasocial relationships and how people latch on to people that they don't know and have never met.

SPEAKER_03

Right, and then just have blind allegiance towards them, and then that like you said, they'll if you say anything about them, it's just like like just ex uh exit, like Taylor Swift people.

SPEAKER_01

Oh god, they're the worst.

SPEAKER_03

No, I'm not saying that all of them are like that. That's again, it's not that everybody that likes that person is like that either. That's just a generalization. But like there is this large portion of people that for whatever reason in life become fixated on public figures. That's part of it, and again, this goes to America, like in the culture of celebrity and like all this like weird, like who we choose to venerate. You know what I mean? Like, is really weird, and it becomes it that it bleeds over into society where you get this, like I said, fixation with public figures. It's like fame is a very, very, very weird thing, not only what it does to the person that's famous, but what it does to the people that like the person that attached to them, right? I mean, look at like Michael Jackson. Oh god, you know what I mean? Like, look at all the people that have been like so famous that it's like broken, right? You know what I mean? Like it's happened to a lot of people.

SPEAKER_02

Like well, and not only that, but I mean, look at all the people that want wanted to be him so bad that they like alter their appearance to look like him.

SPEAKER_03

I mean, yeah, and I'm saying it's like it's any of those people, like I mean, whether it's Elvis or Britney Spears or whoever, look how many people, but then you also seem like, and you'll hear other celebrities say, like, if I did had you'd be like, whatever happened to that person? And they're like, Oh, I had to get out of the rat race that is right that life. You know what I mean? Like, and then so so they remove themselves from it. So they had enough, you know what I mean? But you have these uh some of these other people that aren't able to have that foresight to be able to, you know what I mean, be like, I gotta back away, or just or they became so famous that it became unattainable to return to normal life. Right. Like in the case of like Michael Jackson or Britney Spears or somebody like that. Oh god, they can't just go, but I'm saying they just can't go live in normal life.

SPEAKER_02

Right, they just can't live.

SPEAKER_03

They no matter how hard they they I mean, yeah, they could if they just went out into the middle of nowhere and didn't and nobody but even then they're isolated.

SPEAKER_02

Right, then they're ICO.

SPEAKER_03

And that's yeah, then it's a whole other, you know, then they're still crazy. They're just out there, you know what I mean? It's like right.

SPEAKER_02

Well, even back like, and you don't have to be famous, that's the scary part of it, too. No, because

Parasocial Loyalty And Internet Mobs

SPEAKER_02

like when chat rooms first became a thing, like I was going in them because I'm curious. Like it wasn't I wasn't going into chat rooms for like love. That wasn't my you don't have to justify chat rooms, everybody's in chat rooms, but no, I know, but like a lot of people that were in chat rooms, like when they first started, they was like weird kink chat rooms and a lot of like that kind of stuff. Um but I went into like paranormal chat rooms, I went into like ones where people claimed to be witches, so I could talk and learn about that. Yeah, absolutely. It's just like Reddit or something today.

SPEAKER_03

Yeah, it was just like a menu that you chose, and you just like whatever you wanted to talk about, you could find a group for it.

SPEAKER_02

Right, exactly. And it was kind of cool, but I had uh one or two people attach themselves to me in a very scary way back then. But I also lived with my parents. The one actually drove in from Pittsburgh, and my dad walked outside and was like, I will fucking kill you, dude.

SPEAKER_03

But yeah, I mean, people, I mean that that well, that's I think the greater point is that there's always been people like that in society that are weird like that. Right. And but it's not just them, it's like then it's spread now to like you said, because it was already it's already somehow in the mind, wherever it is biologically, you know what I mean? Something that creates people to have a fascination that they latch onto is ingrained somewhere in human biology. And so eventually when we got to the point where we have fame, because for uh fame in the ancient world up until just like the 1950s or something, you know, it was it really didn't mean a whole lot because media didn't exist in the way that it did.

SPEAKER_02

You were famous people could travel. We've talked about that with little Jimmy Dickens coming up to Waynesboro, like Yeah, and people didn't bother because it was just a different time, things were just different back then. People were just people like look at like when Elvis joined the military, for example, and went off to war.

SPEAKER_03

Well, yeah, but Elvis is like the first example of people going bananas.

SPEAKER_02

Right.

SPEAKER_03

So it's like he became like the first like uber famous like mega celebrity to the point where he couldn't, he was uh the most recognizable person probably in the world. Speaking of which, because it was at the dawn of television, right? So for the first time the world was connected via pictures that you can everyone could access, right? See things happen in real time, or even slightly delayed, but the freak the it was like a snap of the fingers compared to the way things used to be.

SPEAKER_02

Right. That was the first like instant gratification where you can.

SPEAKER_03

Because radio, there was no picture, right? So even though you may have known a name, you wouldn't know somebody to see him on the street unless you hadn't seen pictures.

SPEAKER_02

Had been like staring longingly at their album cover for two years.

SPEAKER_03

Right, right. And even then, the chances that they look like that would be slim to none because you know you're done up for for whatever. But regardless of any of that, Elvis, so then with the Don of television, those people that already have this long ingrained human whatever defect. Right. Just parlayed into celebrity and where it's gotten exponentially worse as we've gone along and media's gotten bigger, and that so much so that now it affects now even normal people are subject to the amount of scrutiny that normally would only be reserved for a celebrity in previous times.

SPEAKER_02

Because normal people are living their lives publicly.

SPEAKER_03

Can I also just say that sometimes I string sentences together and I'm amazed that I don't know fumble?

SPEAKER_02

I know, but you were thinking through that one. I love it. Um so and I think why the divorce is is such a like hot topic, right? Is because a lot so I'm not the only one that found Bunny in 2015, right? Sure. She had hundreds of thousands of followers on Twitter. She was posting about her life with Jelly Roll. I knew that he was a musician, but I wasn't listening to his music in the very beginning.

SPEAKER_03

You also knew he was a fuck up.

SPEAKER_02

But I knew he was a fuck up. That's the thing. And right in that moment in time, you were fucking up, right?

SPEAKER_03

Yeah, I was a fuck up. So I was identifying for the greater part of my adult life.

SPEAKER_02

Well, there's there's we're we're soon gonna be at the tipping point where you where I won't be.

SPEAKER_03

Where I won't be.

SPEAKER_02

But so when they did make it, right, and then that documentary came out, which was for me like the it was the the thing for somebody save me documentary. Like I sobbed and sobbed. Now, to be fair, I was going through one of my deep, dark, twisty times where I go into depression and don't come out for a week or so. So I was in that mode and I was I could feel myself ready to come out of it. And I watched that documentary and I was like, I don't know. Like some when I go down those things, I always question our relationship, right? Even though we're solid today. So coming out of it, I was like, well, if Bunny and Jelly can make it, and now he's now he's really famous and he's winning country music awards, and they were both white trash that got their shit together. He got custody of his kid. Like, I was like so enamored by the success.

SPEAKER_03

Right. The wins.

SPEAKER_02

The wins, how they turned their shit show around to become better people. And I was like, oh, well, we did that, and so I want to do a podcast, and we could talk about that, and we're gonna call it Gilded Trash, because that's what I saw in the moment. Like they were two very trashy people who were able to become people who lots of folks love and admire. Now, whether or not that love and admiration is justified, I think is yet to yet to tell.

SPEAKER_03

And I think this brings up to a point that you had brought up not yet, but we're going to, is that the appearance uh of happiness or whatever you want to call it, yeah, that you can see in people it well, it doesn't matter celebrity or not, because we have full access basic people that choose to live their lives, even most people, let's just say, like, I mean, I know there's a lot of people that don't have social media, whatever. But the majority of Americans do, and the majority of Americans use it at least semi-regularly. Right. I'm not saying that they, you know what I mean. You know what I mean?

SPEAKER_02

Like I And not everybody's on all of them either. Like I'm on all of them, but only do TikTok.

SPEAKER_03

Well, I think a lot of people they have a profile for everything, but they only really use one or two more prevalent uh more prevalently, more prevalently.

SPEAKER_02

I just like to say prevail. So for me, TikTok prevails, but I hear you.

SPEAKER_03

But do you know what I'm saying?

SPEAKER_02

Yeah, there's one

How Celebrity Culture Warps People

SPEAKER_02

they use more because they like whatever.

SPEAKER_03

That's just the nature of things. You don't have time to sit. I mean, most people don't. Most normal working people, which is 80% of the country, don't have time to sit around and spend the same amount of time on each app.

SPEAKER_02

If my Facebook didn't post to my TikTok or my Instagram for me, I would never post on Instagram. Never. I never go there. I never open it if anybody has ever messaged me on the internet.

SPEAKER_03

I do open it because sometimes people comedy related will message me on the channel.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah, but that's con so that's another kind of good point, too, is depending on what world you're kind of living in, right? There's those are the differences. So political is all on Twitter, which is X now, right? That's right.

SPEAKER_03

Right, which I don't know. I mean, I'm sure that a lot of some comedians use X and are on it, but right, but it's mostly political. Right.

SPEAKER_02

Insta is mostly people trying to break into the business, whether it's music, comedy, acting, Insta's a lot insta to me, I feel like is a headshot. It's your headshot, it's your it's your whatever. Facebook feels like uh the family potluck, right? That's your real friends and family in real life for the most part. But Facebook is starting to grow into more like TikTok.

SPEAKER_03

I was gonna say Facebook is it's it's getting more and more like TikTok every day. I wish it was the my friends and family that I cared about. That's all bullshit, dude.

SPEAKER_02

Anymore.

SPEAKER_03

But I'm just saying, no, like I get it, but no, yeah, but to your to the point that like nobody's gonna use all like has that much, you know what I mean? It depends on you know what you're on.

SPEAKER_01

Right.

SPEAKER_03

That's why you can't get distracted.

SPEAKER_01

No, yeah.

SPEAKER_03

Not because I've never I've totally lost the guy. Don't ever ask me your spot.

SPEAKER_02

No, that's fine. I've got a guideline in here, but we're we're not gonna be able to do that.

SPEAKER_03

I'm lucky when I'm talking that I get to the end of the sentence without losing control. That's true.

SPEAKER_01

No, I feel like that's what I'm saying.

SPEAKER_03

I feel like I need to write that down. That's the joke, is like you ever have somebody ask you, what was I saying? Like, I have no clue, dude. I don't even know what I'm talking about.

SPEAKER_02

We can't even recorded like 20 minutes of a really good conversation and we don't remember what it's recording of my thing. But you're absolutely right. Perception is a big part of this, right? It's a big part of the conversation. Um and so like if somebody only went to my TikTok, they would think that I literally was the meanest bitch on the planet because I participate in drama talk. So I'm calling people out a lot. And if you don't know who the people I'm calling out are, if you don't know the backstory, sounds real aggressive. It's really aggressive, but it's not because there's history and right, I get it.

SPEAKER_03

It's full weed, it's just you know, I know, but I'm saying they don't know.

SPEAKER_02

They don't know.

SPEAKER_03

I'm just saying I'm telling them the listener, right, that it sounds crazy. It sounds like until you get to like until you get used to it.

SPEAKER_02

But this is how I see tick. Like, I look at TikTok as if I'm playing Dungeons and Dragons. Right. I have missions on TikTok. The missions are to reflect back to people what how they're acting. That's my mission on TikTok. It's a it's a fun game for me. I enjoy it.

SPEAKER_03

It allows me to- To be fair, that's also your mission in real life. So I would say that maybe you're your authentic self on TikTok.

SPEAKER_02

I am my authentic self. That's exactly the point I'm trying to make is that if somebody has anybody attached to me like that, no, but a lot of people like enjoy my content. And I like I talk to them in messages and stuff.

SPEAKER_03

It's a very specific thing that you're doing, though. Like with a group, you know what I mean? Like everybody's also participating.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah, like everybody also, and most people are self-aware.

SPEAKER_03

It's not like you're just picking out random strings.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah, I'm not, I'm not. There are people who do that. Oh, I'm sure there are. That's not like that's not the game that I'm in.

SPEAKER_03

Right.

SPEAKER_02

But to your point about perception though, like most if you but if you like listen to what I'm saying and and listen to the points I'm making and listen to like when I do like educational or PSA ones, that's me. That's the authentic me. Like I'm I like I don't have time to be a character. I really don't I don't have time to make up stories about my real life. My real life is kind of boring 99% of the time, and then one percent of the time it's like we're doing comedy shit, we're meeting really fucking cool people, we're going on real cool trips, we're cooking really good shit. But the other most of the time, we're like so boring.

SPEAKER_03

Yeah, well, I think that's yeah, absolutely. I think that's most people though.

Perception And Curating A Life Online

SPEAKER_03

But that's to the greater point, though, is that I think most people leave pretty boring lives.

SPEAKER_02

Right.

SPEAKER_03

But they want to project, right? And I'm not saying that they don't do stuff or take trips or do whatever, but I'll be hon, you've seen everybody's feed. Most of us are all doing the same shit. Maybe we do it at different times or with different people or in a slightly different way. But we're all doing the same shit, man. Right.

SPEAKER_02

We take a trip to Tennessee and five days later, like every other friend we have in our feeds, or like taking trips to Tennessee.

SPEAKER_03

But yeah, but I'm just saying, like, it's just like it doesn't even have to be that specific. We're all doing the same shit, though. Everybody's raising families, everybody's spending time with their friends, going places, doing this, going to concerts, to go into comedy, doing this, going out to eat, doing this, uh, went to see this thing, went to see this show, went to see this, went to watch their nephew play baseball. You know what I'm saying? Like, there's not a lot.

SPEAKER_02

I'm I'm not saying there's not a lot of variance in the mean for most people.

SPEAKER_03

Right. And I'm just saying, but people always want to project that they're for whatever reason, I don't know why, but they always also want to project happiness, which I guess makes sense because if you project happiness, you probably reflect it back. Maybe parts on your mindset, maybe you are happier.

SPEAKER_02

And I absolutely love that you said that because it's a great kind of leap into one of the points I want to make. So it's a fine line, right? Because so, first of all, I will never be a victim on social media. I don't like that. I feel it feels icky, right? Um, but I also like, but and I'm dramatic here at home, but I never outward, not never, because my boss thinks I'm the most dramatic person in the world, but I try not to outwardly project drama because I don't want to be known as somebody that's dramatic. Like that's not who I like. I really don't want to be associated with that. The I drama is magnetized to me, and I am magnetized to drama, but at the same time, like not everything needs to be dramatic, right? And so I'm a huge proponent of the concept of the secret. We've talked about that. And so if I tell somebody, for example, that I'm having a shitty day because Scott pissed me off at five o'clock in the morning by looking at me when I was trying to go back to sleep, then that puts negativity out about you that I don't want other people having a negative thought about you. Because I don't want, do you know what I mean? So like I don't project happiness, but I also don't share the bullshit either because it's nobody's business and we're gonna get over it.

SPEAKER_03

Well, but but but also back to your point, though, is everybody's got bullshit, man.

SPEAKER_02

Right, right.

SPEAKER_03

Everybody, do you think that there's it doesn't matter if you've been married for however long we've been married, 15 years or something like that, 14 and a half.

SPEAKER_02

It'll be fifty, yeah, it'll be fifteen in September.

SPEAKER_03

Or if you aren't married, whatever, you got and I mean, even if you live alone, you got bullshit.

SPEAKER_01

Everybody has bullshit.

SPEAKER_03

You got bullshit in your life that ha you have to deal with. It you just won't be able to do it. Unless you Yeah, exactly. You just get through it.

SPEAKER_02

Right, that's exactly it.

SPEAKER_03

And so But again, to your point though, it's not to share the world.

SPEAKER_02

It's not and and like if it was something major, maybe like okay, I'll give you an example because it's fucking funny, and if I can find the video, um I might actually clip it. But the right before you got clean, I went off the deep end on Facebook and took a bag of a garbage bag of your clothes, and I poured honey in it, all on camera. I poured black dye in it, all this shit, and then I took it and gave it to you. I love you.

SPEAKER_03

You grew you this, you know what? I just realized this because you did something so sinful that somewhere in heaven, the ghost of um you don't even know who it is. I'm trying to think of well, no, I'm trying to think of a great stealer. Somewhere in heaven, Chuck No is speaking to God on my behalf for what you did to the authentic Troy Palomola jersey.

SPEAKER_01

What did I do to it? It had dye all over it and stuff.

SPEAKER_03

I'm saying you could have hurt me in every other way. It wasn't about hurting me. I don't care, you could have taken it and done something with it, but it didn't deserve that. Do you know what I'm saying? That was sacrilege. And somewhere one day. You'll probably hear about this on Judgment Day. That's all I'm saying.

SPEAKER_02

That's the thing that's not getting me into heaven, is that I got it.

SPEAKER_03

No, I'm not saying it's not gonna get you in, um, but it's gonna be brought up. It's gonna get brought up.

SPEAKER_02

And like I did, I mean, I did lose my mind, but only on social media once. I before we left Myrtle Beach, I smashed your one of your guitars. I smashed a 50-inch TV. Um, I was mad. I was angry. Um, but we made it through. We made it through.

SPEAKER_03

But that's like, I mean, that's also like the that's anybody that's ever dealt with a dictionary thing knows how the links that people get driven to their like I mean, but don't be don't be fair to me because I was already crazy.

SPEAKER_02

You just trip that wire and then some during that period of time.

SPEAKER_03

Right, exactly.

SPEAKER_02

I mean, I I was uh I took some risks. I um I was offering to work with the Myrtle Beach police to be an informant. I was actively messaging the Myrtle Beach police. Oh, I was wow. I was wild.

SPEAKER_03

I know you I know how you are, so I have no doubt.

SPEAKER_02

But regardless, but but it there's a big point in there is that we there was a period of time when you and I were fucking messy. Right, no, I can't. We were messy, right? We were messy because I was doing messy things, you were doing messy things. So, but we got through it, and so there's no like perception, right? There's no perception to be had, and a lot, not a lot of people, but there are people who have commented through the years about how good we are together, right? And I don't even know if I know why. That's the thing. Like, I know why I love you, and I think I know why you love me most.

SPEAKER_03

Right, but like if here's my question how does it work? But I also wouldn't look at us and be like, man,

When Addiction Made Marriage Messy

SPEAKER_03

they're great together. Do you know what I'm saying? Like, if I saw us as another, because I don't like think like that about people.

SPEAKER_02

Well, yeah, that's true. I mean, like, some people do.

SPEAKER_03

No, I get that, but I'm just saying, like, I wouldn't be like, it's so amazing that I have to comment about it.

SPEAKER_02

Right.

SPEAKER_03

It would really be the same.

SPEAKER_02

Some people have. Like, I'm no, I'm not saying that they haven't.

SPEAKER_03

I'm not saying that they haven't. That's not my thing.

SPEAKER_02

That's just not your style.

SPEAKER_03

That's not what I'm saying. I'm just saying the way people react about it sometimes makes me think like, it's like, what is it that we're doing?

SPEAKER_02

Right.

SPEAKER_03

But that's what I was saying. I was agreeing with your point. What is it that we're doing that it's like it's not that obvious though. To me, is what I'm saying. I'm saying for me to just I'd be like, yeah, they're awesome. Right, they're good people, right? But I wouldn't be like it's a historic kind of love comment about it. Right, right. But I mean, I guess it's the way that we talk. I guess what people are saying is they we have a good rapport.

SPEAKER_02

We do, we communicate well, and the way that we we don't like, do I get pissed off and talk to you shitty? Yes, I absolutely do, and I recognize that I'm self-aware. I know when to pull that trigger because I know when it's gonna sting. But in day-to-day life, for even even if you just like do something random, like, hey babe, can you bring me like a tissue? I say thank you. You say thank you. It's not forced, right?

SPEAKER_03

Right, right.

SPEAKER_02

We like show each other appreciation.

SPEAKER_03

We're both well mannered, yeah.

SPEAKER_02

Like that might be it. Like, I don't know. Like we both grew up with manners, like that's what we're saying, I yeah.

SPEAKER_03

I don't know. I guess because I guess maybe there's more people out there that are just like total assholes to each other, right? That's what I was saying. I think maybe that's what it is. Is like we get along really well.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah, like we even when we're mad at each other, we get along. We can't not talk to each other.

SPEAKER_03

So I get like what but I guess that's what people are saying. But I'm I'm also guessing too that like I guess that that's what people are saying too, is that they like they see a lot of they must be a lot of people out there that are talking that treat each other like assholes.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah, like I would like to know the like if we're the good I don't see that many. I don't either. I don't either, but I also don't I don't I also can recognize what other people are saying because there are times where I look at a couple and like my heart melts, like literally, and I'm like, oh my god, I'm so excited for them, right? Well, yeah. But so to we talking about the last episode, we were talking about Izzy and Teshawn, like it's the same thing for them. I felt that little pull in my heart.

SPEAKER_03

Well, I think you can see happiness, yeah. That's I think you can see real happiness easier than you can see because it's easy to mask if things aren't good. Right. It is, and I'm not saying that you can't always sometimes not notice that, but yeah, yeah, there is times that sometimes a lot of people are really good at putting on a persona, right? But uh, but again, genuine happiness is easy to spot, I feel like.

SPEAKER_02

Well, so I don't know. You know what I mean?

SPEAKER_03

Like it comes through, you feel it.

SPEAKER_02

So a couple that have since both passed um that we both got to know very well was the Hersheys.

SPEAKER_03

And that was not the canyon, not the Canbani, no, it's just we're just referring to some people though.

SPEAKER_02

To a couple that we know that were older and um they came to our wedding. They did. That was really awesome of them. But um, yeah, like that's actually that actually means a little bit more now that I think about it, because they're they they became my like my bar. The bar was set for me by them. Like my grandparents also had a a long lasting relationship, but I saw the turmoil sometimes in their relationship, so I so I was less enamored with it. Like they just stuck it out right and they didn't I feel like it it didn't show as much until the end even though they were both appreciative of each other they still bitched about each other publicly and so the fact that I heard it like I don't even I don't bitch about you to anybody like I don't feel the need to and I mean I'm sure like in times when I'm difficult you probably talk to your dad about it that's no I've not like that but I don't like bitch about you I don't talk to people right exactly like now I talk to Chappie about you leave that alone so um or do you no or do I is it Chappie I'll never know um but so back to the whole perception thing though right there's no there's no perception that we're happy I post when I post if we're out and about like you know what I mean like sometimes I feel extra lovey towards you but let's talk about that too because I'm not a fucking romantic person I'm not at all no and neither am I you but I'm probably more romantic than you you but when we first got together you wrote me lots of love letters I was also young you were young if you're young and in love it's different. It was sweet though but it was also tedious for me because I'm like even though everything you said I still have most of and it's all very heartfelt and it was meaningful for you to take the time to write it for me me having to read it was a lot I'm sure it was painstaking.

SPEAKER_03

I don't have time to read anything dude I talked about this already with him I'm writing a joke because I'm afraid that reading books to the kid I'm afraid that he's not gonna really know how to read because here's the thing is I can't because I'm getting old I can't read the type on any of these books. I need giant senior font right children's books are not written for 44 year old parents right who are beginning to lose their eyesight their reading eyesight. Right I can't it's so it's like I'm so I'm just making up words to go with the pictures so he's not learning anything.

SPEAKER_02

No but he's also a big he's also a baby but still I feel like there's some connection

The Small Habits That Keep Us Close

SPEAKER_02

oh my god so um we do have a really really fun segment to wrap this up we're gonna get into it um but I wanted to close out that whole perception thing kind of meaningfully because like we're now at a different stage right in our life and things could change even further by the day like they with your comedy stuff I mean we just don't know and that's how we've always been we've always kind of rolled through whatever happens happens like we try to make plans sometimes they work sometimes they don't but right what you're like the fut like the future Scott and Crystal is not gonna look back on this conversation and be like they were just saying things to fill podcast on. Do you know what I mean? Like oh no we're best friends like that we talk I mean we we're nerds that talk about literally everything.

SPEAKER_03

We talk endlessly about bullshit all the time all the time that's why we're that's why we sit down and do this because we can people are like oh you guys talk because this is exactly what we do.

SPEAKER_02

Right half the time I'm like shit we should be recording this because we're talking about something good so good.

SPEAKER_03

Right and and also something sometimes it but to be it's like all over the place though just like the podcast. Right sometimes we're talking it can be an in-depth conversation about a TV show a a restaurant something serious right like addiction or whatever it is.

SPEAKER_02

It's always something it's always something it's always something right and it doesn't ever get old one of my when we first started dating one of my things that I always said to you all the time when I didn't feel like listening to our same music over and over was I would stop the CD and be like tell me a story do you remember that no but I would it wasn't all the time because I can you know me I could talk endlessly about it yes forever.

SPEAKER_03

Yes and but that's I got my and that's I got that from my grandma read because oh God yes her and I literally I told you when I was a kid I would call her and her and I would be on the phone four to six hours a day I would call her up we would play there was a game I used to play on floppy disc called Murder by the dozen it was 12 like solvable mysteries that you like had clues in and they were hard too they weren't easy and I would call we would play it take two to three hours to do one of these things.

SPEAKER_02

I'd we'd call and do it I love it I love that she had the time for you to do that. That makes me so happy I love her Graham um all right so we're gonna get into this segment all right so this little segment is called how are we still married but I was gonna do a great let me just wrap up just from before for one second because I was gonna say if people if I if I do make it to be an own if people are ever like how have you been married for 50 years I'd be like what's the secret and it's have somebody that you can have a great conversation with and don't get tired of it. I mean that's actually a really good advice really good advice all right what is the dumbest thing we've ever argued about uh sausage balls.

SPEAKER_03

Sausage balls hands down we talk about that it's so funny um yeah we and there was an incident where she was it's so funny because we're always talking about cooking or whatever and you made these like biscuit sausage bowls that you make with the cheese and stuff and I was I drinking yeah you and Jimbo were pregaming we were going somewhere and I think to your grams for dinner. No we were making stuff for the house we were having yeah we were having a party but you and Jimbo but we had to go out first but um so regardless of any of that and I tasted these sausage bowls and I was

How Are We Still Married Game

SPEAKER_03

like these taste like shit and I threw it in the trash and I was like I could have made it better.

SPEAKER_02

Because but the whole reason you reacted like that is because Jimbo ate one first and he was saying how damn good it was and you got pissed no I don't think that's what it was why would you just do that out of random because I think I thought they were gonna be sausage and not like an all sausage like a sausage meatball. Oh I'm with you either way it was hilarious. He whipped it into the trash can like an asshole okay which one of us is more dramatic you really yeah on what level really I again I addressed this earlier I get into more drama I'm full of crap though that's a different well no that's not even what I'm referring to Mr I think I have mouth cancer listen if all the symptoms were there are there let's not talk about it. Anyway I don't need to be talking about medical issues right don't put that into the either um which one of us would survive longer on a deserted island me yeah hands down like I'm resilient and I'm like uh what like what's that called when you like stay on task but I'm also pampered right now like I live a very pampered life and Scott's way stronger than me and could survive probably longer without food um okay which one of us apologizes first me you for sure always like instantaneously it's always instantly which one of us absolutely refuses to admit we're wrong also you also you it's like this weird paradigm that I live in um but I also I study myself all the time so I like try to make sure that I don't do things to hurt people's feelings and so like I'm always like I don't apply I don't ever say I'm sorry I just admit that I was not doing something right or it admit that I was doing something wrong but I never say the words I'm sorry.

SPEAKER_03

Like I hate those words like I feel like they're never the uh bigger person that is correct which one of us spends more money no brainer no brainer hands down me no person listening to this podcast needs to know the answer to that okay needs to ask the you know it means that it's you obviously so marriage court defender answer should couples share a Facebook account no fuck no that's corny so stupid so gay uh separate blankets yeah if the blanket's big enough like I yeah I'm not I don't you have your own blanket that you use in addition to the yeah I have a weighted blanket but uh it doesn't really make a difference I've never that's never been a thing for me separate bedrooms oh no yes I'm all for separate bedrooms bedrooms I'm all for it's kind of sexy like just come hang out in my room tonight no you saw what happened on the episode came uh separate vacations no I mean vacations but like I don't see the nature but like like I don't like trip like if something like because obviously there's times when we Right like every once in a while I'd be like just go to your dad's without me or yeah or you like it I'm saying like there's things that we do right like you've said a million times if I wanted to go on a girls' trip I could like comedy right oh comedy yeah like there's gonna be times that I'm not gonna go on the plenty of times where you've not gone to a comedy thing with me so that's but that's not a vacation but a trip like a trip trips yes vacation I want my vacation time to be with you yeah and now family right so it's yeah just like what yeah like it was specifically vacation vacation meaning uh four days or longer non-work related right no no no separate check-in accounts yes we both we have it um should spouses know each other's phone passwords I mean why not like here's the thing is I you know mine I know yours the only time we ever touch each other's phone is if we need to yeah and that's like never but it doesn't have it it's like but it's not like neither of us have anything to hide. Right and it's like yes like I wouldn't even feel that right like I've never even wondered first off we're together all the time 23 and a half hours a day for fuck's sake so it's like in what world you know what I mean like and I'm not saying that that's the only reason but like I'm just saying like there's nothing to there's nothing to hide like no so there's no we've never been we don't have suspicious minds.

SPEAKER_02

That's exactly I mean I do I have a very suspicious now at a point in life we have nothing to like you said we just have nothing to hide there's nothing right so yeah we there was times where you I'm like you have my you know what I mean right look do like I'll be like here take my phone or whatever right we have each other's iPad stuff because we use them for the kid and the other stuff amongst us right and the iPads are connected to the phones anyway so it's all it's all together part of the same system this is a better question because right you essentially have could access my stuff even if you wanted to and we share our half like our photos right that's what I'm saying it's it's there's nothing is it okay to go to bed angry no no and I in 17 years outside of like the addiction thing right which is not it's a whole separate thing. But like when we've been fine in 17 years we've never one time I mean there's been a few there's been three angry at me right one time you slept on my mom's couch. Yeah but there was always like most of when we're drinking yeah we're drinking it's something stupid it's not stupid it's totally resolved the next day but it's not okay to go to bed angry and in normal day to day we never do like we have we always kiss each other and say I love you every single night never yeah um is happy wife happy life complete nonsense no fuck no it ain't would you still love me if I brought home another cat without asking I wouldn't be happy about it but I'd still obviously love you would you still love me if I became TikTok famous for something embarrassing would you still love me if I started calling everyone brother like Hulk Cogan I would love you more okay do you have any of those for me?

Seafood bowls I always like yours better. Now I like when you don't have to do those right but I like yours better. Right now I'm with you and I only pick Texas Roadhouse for the bloom and onion if you could make those I'd be in high things all right so finish the sentence you know you've been married too long when the other person is dead stop it's supposed to be funny not morbid that is funny all right the weirdest thing about crystal is the weirdest thing about crystal is I mean here's the thing is I feel like the 40 year old virgin because it's like there's so many things running through my head right now but there's nothing I can't I'm trying to think of something I so when you blow out a vape or a cigarette you like push the air out in a way that grandma read used to do it too but it's like weird it's like it's like you're like it's I think it it's it's hilarious. It's not really irritating right or was wait what was it was it irritating or weird it's weird or irritating oh yeah well because originally the original question when I talked to you about the other day was irritating. Oh okay but it's they he switched it to weird. Oh okay yeah so that would be that was that's hilarious though I which actually makes so me and Chappie are gonna have to have a conversation later because I literally think everything I do is weird or annoying. I'm that person that thinks I'm just annoying everybody. I think if I look too pretty I'm annoying if I look too ugly I'm annoying Annoying. I feel like if I follow if I try to reach out to somebody who hasn't reached out to me that I'm being annoying.

SPEAKER_03

I'll tell you when you're annoying is when in the middle of the night, you haven't done it in a very long time, but there was a time where you were doing it a lot. And you would crunch ice.

SPEAKER_02

Oh yeah. I don't know.

SPEAKER_03

Eating ice at like 2 a.m. And sometimes that's loud.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03

I'd be like, what the fuck are you doing?

SPEAKER_02

That was part of my diabetes, babe. I don't have diabetes anymore.

SPEAKER_03

But yeah, yeah, no, that was uh, yeah, no, that wasn't a good idea. I knew that was a good idea.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah, and you did actually disclose that to me just like that's not a surprise, but I don't eat ice at all anymore.

SPEAKER_03

Right, no, no, I haven't eaten.

SPEAKER_02

I used to love it. Um I was broken of it when we got an ice machine because now I don't have the good ice anymore. The ice machine's not good. All right, our marriage in one movie title would be I know.

SPEAKER_03

That's an interesting question. Can I come back to that in the next episode?

SPEAKER_02

You can.

SPEAKER_03

Because I want to think about that. But if I just because it's like let's see a movie title, talk amongst yourselves in the meantime.

SPEAKER_02

Um Well, I have two off the bat just because you know how I brand every day.

SPEAKER_03

Yeah, go ahead.

SPEAKER_02

It would either be Gilded Trash or Broke Down Palace.

SPEAKER_03

Right, right. Right. That would seem it would be the obvious choices. Right. Because of historically what we've done.

SPEAKER_02

Right.

SPEAKER_03

Um but I would say something like um holds part.

SPEAKER_02

You're gonna have people thinking that we wrestle in our spare time.

SPEAKER_03

We've never once wrestled.

SPEAKER_02

No. Not to wrestle. No.

SPEAKER_03

I I love wrestling. Yes. However, I love wrestling. And do I wrestle with the kid? Yes. A little bit. He's young. He's a little too young for wrestling.

SPEAKER_02

But I have a although he does do the Bundy Splash.

SPEAKER_03

And he does do the Undertaker thing.

SPEAKER_02

Oh, he does the Undertaker.

SPEAKER_03

And we've also simulated Major Man Randy Savage. You know what I mean?

SPEAKER_02

So you're teaching the foundations.

SPEAKER_03

SPEAKER_02

SPEAKER_03

Absolutely. I've pointed out every on my shirt. I've pointed out um every wrestler. He was because you know how he does it. And I went through, I was like, that's Jim the Amble Nightheart. That's the ultimate warrior.

SPEAKER_02

Ultimate warrior was Uncle Tim's favorite wrestler when we were younger. My brother Tim. But I'm Zane.

SPEAKER_03

SPEAKER_02

Okay, so last question to wrap up this segment, and then I want to do a quick recap of something else. Um if we were on a reality show, what would the producers use as like our recurring joke montage?

SPEAKER_03

Oh my god, there's so many things.

SPEAKER_02

I know, there's so many things.

SPEAKER_03

It would be like just stupid things that we say, the way that we say them, the way that you mess up words on purpose, not really.

SPEAKER_02

Right. Like I did it once and then they stuck and now I can't undo them.

SPEAKER_03

And then like times where I say things repeatedly. Do you know what I mean? Yeah, yeah. Do you know what I mean? Do you know what I mean? A thousand.

SPEAKER_02

Right. That's neither here nor there.

SPEAKER_03

That's neither here nor there.

SPEAKER_02
