This
is
Lynns,
this
is
Russ,
and
we're
married.
Are
we?
Yep.
Since
2013.
We're
the
hosts
of
the
Unfiltered
Union.
Podcast
where
we
discuss
popular
headlines
and
interview
interesting
people.
Our
opinions
may
vary,
but
we
will
never
censor
our
guests
or
our
viewpoints.
Welcome
to
the
Unfiltered
Union.
Welcome
to
the
Unfiltered
Union.
The
what?
I
know.
In
case
you
didn't
notice,
we
rebranded.
That
we
did.
And
that
took
a
while
cause
of
all
the
work,
but
I
think
it
was
worth
it.
I
think
so
too.
And
I
think
with
all
of
the
new
guests
that
we've
had,
it
really
goes
hand
in
hand
with
our
rebrand
in
that
we're
having
interesting
people
come
on
and
not
filtering
out
any
opinions
of
ourselves
or
the
others.
Yeah,
we
don't
censor
people
here.
Absolutely.
Even
if
we
don't
like
them
or
not
like
them.
That
sounds
really
bad.
Even
if
we
don't
agree
with
what
they're
saying.
There
you
go.
You
can
believe
what
you
want
to
believe.
Everyone
deserves
a
voice.
Exactly.
And
I
do
want
to
go
through
kind
of
a
roll
call
on
our
last
bunch
of
guests
because
we
had
a
lot
in
between
our,
you
know,
one
on
one
talks.
For
sure.
And
Chris
Revis
was
our
most
recent.
He's
a
bitcoin
expert
and
author
of
three
books.
And
we
will
for
sure
have
him
back.
Yes,
he's
got
a.
His
third
book
is
actually
coming
out
next
month.
Month
or
no,
May.
I'm
sorry,
May
2024.
And
Sergio
Halabi
is
an
independent
researcher
from
Bahrain
who
studies
ancient
civilizations
a
world
away.
It's
crazy
that
we
get
to
talk
to
somebody
who's
so
far
away
and
have
these
amazing
conversations.
It
was
enlightening
to
me.
Me
too.
That
I.
I've
always
been
super
interested
in
pyramids
and
ancient
civilizations
because
of
the
lack
of
knowledge
that
we're
taught.
Breaking
down
what
the
pyramids
may
or
may
not
have
been
used
for
was
super
interesting
crazy.
Then
we
also
had
Reverend
Katie
O'Donne.
Reverend
Katie
O'Donne,
OCD
expert
and
advocate.
Advocate.
She
designs
treatment
plans
for
people
who
have
OCD
that
are
religious.
Because
sometimes
you
might
not
be
able
to
do
certain
ERP
therapies
based
upon
your
religion.
That
conversation
was
crazy
too.
With
your
experience
in
OCD
versus
someone
experiencing
on
the
religious
front.
I
mean,
you
don't
think
of
these
things,
right?
Like.
No.
Like
trying
to
tell
a
Jewish
person
to
not
be
kosher.
Right.
That's
insane.
You
can't
do
that.
They
will
quit
therapy.
Right.
And
then
Phoebe
Peirpoint
who
is
a
coach
for
entrepreneurs.
She
was
awesome.
She
talks
all
about
changing
mindsets
and
unlocking
your
potential.
And
I
think
one
of
the
things
that
she
really
did
for
us
was
asked
the
question,
she
said,
what,
what,
what
is
your
goal
with
this
podcast?
And
yeah,
I
mean,
you
and
I
have
talked
about
that
a
million
times
over,
but
actually
having
somebody
ask
that
and
then
explain
it,
I
mean.
Oh,
yeah,
you
can
just
tell
right
there.
Phoebe
is
on
point
with
her
goals.
On
point.
Right.
See
what
I
did
there?
Well,
the
answer
to
that
question
too,
changed.
It
morphed
for
me.
I'm.
And
I'm
pretty
sure
it
morphed
for
you
too,
that
at
first
we
did
this
as
a
hobby.
Yeah,
we
enjoyed
it.
It
was
fun
to
kind
of
sit
down
and
break
down
latest
headlines.
But
as
we've
morphed
into
more
of
like
this
interview
style,
I
get
to
talk
to
people
that
I
would
never
talk
to
for
sure.
Aside
from
these
interviews.
Absolutely.
I
think
there
are
so
many
people
in
the
world
who
have
stories
to
tell
and
I
honestly
don't
care
what
the
story
is.
I
think
that
anyone
who
has
something
that
they
would
like
to
say
and
can
say
it,
well,
let
us
know.
Come
on
to
the
Unfiltered
Union
and
join
us
and
be
a
guest.
Yes.
If
you
do
have
a
cool
story
or
you
know
somebody
with
a
cool
story,
send
them
our
way.
Either
go
to
our
website,
unfiltered
union.com
or
go
ahead
and
us
unfiltered
union
gmail.com
and
we'll
try
to
schedule
you
and
get
you
on
and
talk
about
your
story.
Absolutely.
And
all
the
things
that
have
been
happening
here
at
Unfiltered
Union
with
the
rebrand
and
then
all
of
our
guests.
There's
also
a
lot
going
on
in
the
world
right
now.
Yeah,
it's
not
good.
Yeah,
it's
weighty
again.
Yeah,
it's
a
common
theme,
but
it
makes
me
wonder
what's
going
on,
what's.
What's
happening
that
they
don't
want
us
to
know.
Honestly,
I
don't
know
if
it's
the
idea
of
redirection.
Right.
Or
if
this
is
the
real
thing,
because
it's
big.
Right.
Let's
go
ahead
and
say
we
have
the
documentary
out
right
now
called
Quiet
on
Set
and
it's
all
about
the
Nickelodeon
child
stars
who
experienced
toxic
workplaces,
sexual
abuse,
just
all
around
child
abuse
while
on
set
for
these
shows.
That's
so
fucked
up,
it's
crazy.
And
everybody
keeps
saying
if
you
watch
this,
it's
going
to
ruin
90s
nostalgia
type
shows
for
you.
Like
Amanda
Bynes
show.
I
mean,
I
think
based
on
everything
that
she's
gone
through
over
the
most
recent
years,
you
can't
watch
that
show
the
same.
But
now
knowing
that,
yes,
she
has
maybe
some
mental
health
things
that
she's.
Going
through,
but
it's
understandable.
But
there's
a
reason.
Yeah.
The
mental
illness
most
of
the
time
comes
from
trauma,
for
sure.
And
she
has
trauma.
Yep.
Clearly
unresolved
trauma.
Absolutely.
And
I
am
watching
the
documentary.
Russ
is
choosing
to
opt
out,
and
I
respect
that
because
it
is
a
lot.
But
to
hear
their
stories
and
watch
their
body
language
as
they're
telling
them,
like
you,
you
know,
that
they
are
reliving
trauma,
like
trying
to
get
this
information
out
there.
Yeah.
That's.
No
child
should
ever
have
to
go
through
that.
And
what
breaks
my
brain
is
that
these
people
that
are
not
only
accused,
but
there's
even
some
that
have
been
convicted
are
still
in
the
business.
Yeah.
And
some
of
them
haven't
been
arrested
for
the
things
that
they've
been
accused
for.
And
I
get
it.
You
can't
just
accuse
somebody
and
expect
them
to
go
to
jail.
You
have
to
go
through
the
process
and
prove
it.
Right.
And
I
think
that's
one
of
the
good
things
about
our
justice
system.
But
it's
so
crazy
to
me
that
all
of
these
people
are
speaking
out
against
one
person
and
nothing
has
happened
to
them.
Innocent
until
proven
guilty.
You
can't
just
take
word
for
it.
You
have
to
prove
it.
Guilt
has
to
be
proven
by
the
accusing
party.
I
get
it.
I
do,
too.
It's.
It's
hard,
though,
especially
with
all
of
this
stuff
that's
happening
with
Nickelodeon.
These
are
children.
Well,
and
it
was
20,
30
years
ago
at
this
point.
How
do
you
prove
that?
At
this
point?
Right.
That's
the.
That's
the
messed
up
part.
Exactly.
And
they
didn't
have
Internet
and
stuff
back
in
the
day.
They
didn't
have
Netflix.
So
it
was
hard
for
them
to
find
somebody
most
likely
to
help
them
spread
their
voice
because
the,
you
know,
Hollywood
is
just
one
big
giant
cult.
Yep.
In
my
opinion.
Well,
it's.
It's
strange.
One
big
figure
in
there
in.
In
Nickelodeon
TV
was
in
court
and
he.
His.
His
side
of
the
house
was
packed.
Right.
So
of
supporters,
what
you're
talking
about
is
Drake
Bell's
abuser.
And
I'm
not
even
going
to
say
the
person's
name
because
they're
a
piece
of.
He
was
convicted,
accused
and
convicted
of
sexually
abusing
Drake
Bell.
And
during
the
sentencing.
Thank
you.
During
sentencing,
his
entire
side
of
the
courtroom
was
filled
up
with
people
in
Support
of
this
individual,
even
though
he
was
convicted.
He
was
convicted
of
sexually
abusing
a
child.
That's
unreal
to
me
that
anybody
would
support
somebody
that
did
something
like
that.
And
he
was
convicted.
He.
He
was
guilty.
It
is
crazy.
And
now
add
a
layer
right
now
you
have
Diddy,
the
Diddler.
Yeah.
There's
all
kinds
of
comedians,
and,
yeah,
going
off.
Some
of
them
are
really
fucking
funny.
Crazy.
But
you
have
Diddy,
who
had
a
mansion,
a
compound.
Yeah.
In
Miami
that
was
raided,
and
he
fled
the
country
before
the
raid
happened.
Which
seems
like
to
me,
somebody
must
have
tipped
him
off.
And
what
he's
being
accused
of
is
human
sex
trafficking.
I
don't
get
it.
This
is
like
wave
after
wave
after
wave,
and
we
people,
we
people
are
being
shown
evidence
of
these
disgusting
people,
but
still
nothing
happens,
Right.
Does
fame
come
at
a
cost?
Yes.
Do
you
have
to
sell
your
soul
to
become
famous
and
rich?
I
really
hope
not.
I
hope
not,
too.
I
really
want
to
believe
that
there
are
good
people.
Right.
Like,
there's
good
people.
When
I
think
of,
like,
nostalgic
90s
shows,
Boy
Meets
World's
a
big
one
for
me.
And
the
fact
that
Will
Friedle
and
writer
Strong
wrote
letters
on
behalf
of
Drake
Bell's
abuser,
the
convicted
guy.
Now,
there
was
an
asterisk
on
all
this
that
said
that
they
may
or
may
not
have
known
what
he
was
convicted
of.
They
may
or
may
not
have
known,
you
know,
what
was
happening
with
the
abuser
at
the
time.
But,
like,
that
hit
me
hard.
Yeah,
but
how
do
you
write
a
character
statement
on
someone
and
not
know
what
he
did?
I
don't
know.
I.
They
did
a
whole.
I
think
they
did
an
episode
on
Pod
Meats
World
that
I
need
to
go
listen
to
because
that
one
hit
me
hard.
But
going
back
to
Diddy,
like,
you
have
all
of
these
prominent
people
who
are
being
named
for
Epstein
island
and
all
these
prominent
people
who
are
getting
raided
and
having.
I
just.
I
can't
wrap
my
head
around
it.
You
don't.
You
know,
what's
weird
is
we
still
haven't
really
seen
that
full
client
list.
Well,
someone
I
saw,
you
know,
a
comment,
because
Facebook,
Instagram,
all
social
media
is
just
so
reliable.
They're
working
the
list,
right?
What
do
you
mean
you're
working
the
list?
Going
down
each
person
and
trying
to
figure
out
what
their
role
is
in
any
of
it.
You
know,
like
Diddy,
it
apparently
was
on
the
list,
and
look
what
happened.
Well,
maybe
that's
true.
Maybe
I
just
thought,
I
don't
trust
the
government
to
do
the
right
thing
either.
It's
Just
breaking
my
brain
and
it's
so
heavy.
I
mean,
seriously
though,
think
about
it,
dude.
Why
does
it
seem
very
common
in
Hollywood
to
have
abusers
as
head
figures?
I'm
serious.
Harvey
Weinstein,
now
this
Dan
Schneider.
Yeah,
this.
This
Dan
Snyder
stuff.
The
abuser
of
Drake
Bell.
Now,
did
he.
It's
confusing.
Is
it
something
you
have
to
do
to
become
famous?
Maybe
this
is
conspiracy
level
that
I'm
talking
about.
But
it
just
makes
me
wonder.
I
honestly
don't
know
which
way
is
up
on
this.
I
know
people
say
that
in
movies
and
video
or
in
movies
and
shows
that
they
are
trying
to
tell
us
things
before
they
happen.
Right.
I
don't
know.
I
don't
know
which
way
is
up
on
all
this.
I
don't
like
it,
period.
Especially
the
Nickelodeon
where
that
was
mine
and
your
childhood
and
these
kids
that
we
watched
religiously
were
abused.
It's
crazy.
It
makes
me
sad
and
it
makes
me
super
freaking
mad.
Yeah.
At
this
point,
the
only
thing
I
can
think
about
the
documentary
for
Quiet
on
Set
is
that
they're
finally
getting
their
voice
out,
you
know,
know,
like
finally
being
heard.
Because
Drake
Bell
had
never.
The
record
was
sealed.
He
was
a
minor
when
it
happened,
so
they
didn't
put
his
name
in
any
of
it.
Right.
So
he
was
protected
in
that
way.
But
obviously,
you
know,
it
happened
to
him.
So
he
never
spoke
out
about
it
until
now.
Right.
And
I
think
the
only
way
to
heal
is
to
talk
about
it,
whether
that's
in
therapy
or
try
and
get
some
sort
of
redemption
from
it,
you
know,
like
try
to
move
beyond
it.
So
good
for
them.
But,
man,
is
it
a
lot.
It's
heavy.
It's
sad
because
that
he's
just
1:1
on
the
long
list
of
kids
that
was
abused.
Yep.
In
the
TV
industry.
And
that's
up.
Yep.
Well,
speaking
of
Nickelodeon,
the
new
Avatar
show
came
out
on
Netflix.
God.
Probably
a
month
ago
now.
Right.
Yeah,
it's
been
a
while.
We
had
a
lot
of
interviews.
But
anyway,
so
the.
The
Avatar,
the
Last
Airbender
Live
Action
came
out
on
Netflix.
So
good.
We
binged
it
and.
Hey,
okay,
we'll
get
to
that
in
a
second.
Remember
that
you
said
we
binged
it.
Remember
you
said
that.
Keep
going.
We
watched
it
and
I
thought
it
was
good.
Now,
I
will
put
a
disclaimer
on
that,
though.
Don't
go
in
thinking
it's
going
to
be
the
cartoon
because
it's
nowhere
near
as
fleshed
out
as
that.
But
on
its
own,
it
was
very
good,
in
my
opinion.
I
agree
that
if
you
go
into
it
not
trying
to
compare
it
to
the
cartoon,
then
you'll
probably
have
a
better
experience.
But
I
still
feel
like
there
was
so.
Well,
actually
it's
both.
Right.
If
you
go
into
it
thinking
are
not
trying
to
compare
it
to
the
cartoon,
it's
good.
And
you
get
a
lot
of
detail,
some
that
wasn't
in
the
cartoon.
Right.
But
also
the
vice
versa
is
true.
Where
you
watch
the
cartoon
and
try
to
pair
it
up
to
the
live
action
and
some
details
missing.
A
lot
of
the.
I
will
say
a
lot
of
details
missing.
Right.
I
mean
they.
Of
course,
you
know,
going
from
a
cartoon
that's.
I
forget
how
many
episodes.
Episode.
Is
that
the
right
word?
My
brain.
How
many
episodes
were
in
the
cartoon,
like
per
season?
It's
a
lot
though.
I'm
talking
like
maybe
30s
or
40s
and
versus
doing
an
eight
episode
live
action
on
Netflix.
Right.
So
there's
a
big
difference.
You
can't
get
that
nuanced.
I
get
that.
But
there's
certain
things
that
just
weren't
there.
Like
Zuko
cutting
his
hair.
Like
that
never
happened.
And
it
did
in
the
first
book.
There's
a
couple
of
key
aspects
that
were
missing.
So
again,
I.
It's
both
ways.
Like
there's
some
things
in
the
show,
the
live
action
that
weren't
in
the
cartoon
and
vice
versa.
So
I.
It
was
good.
I
will
say
that
it
was
good.
But
are
they
also
going
to
run
into
the
same
issue
Stranger
Things
has
where
the
kids
are
aging
too
fast?
I
don't
think
so.
It's
only
going
to
be
three
seasons
and
they've
already
signed
the
next
two.
I
really
do
hope
it's
three
seasons
because
book
three
fire.
That
book,
I
think
was
like
50
episodes.
I
could
be
totally
off
there,
but
it
was
a
lot.
Yeah.
I
really
do
hope
they
do
top.
Right.
Me
too.
But
I
think
it
was
good.
Definitely
was
cut
a
lot
of
that.
Those
side
quests,
you
could
say
were
cut
out
just
to
progress
the
story
a
lot
faster.
And
I
do
believe
maybe
Netflix
has
learned
their
lesson
on
child
actors
and.
And
trying
to
get
these
shows
out
quick.
Yep.
Because
heaven
forbid
there's
another
strike.
I
mean,
right?
Geez.
Because
now
Stranger
Things
finale
is
going
to
have
all
adults
playing
kids.
So
I
liked
it.
Was
it
better
than
the
cartoon?
Absolutely
not.
The
cartoon
is
legendary
forever.
But
was
good
on
its
own.
It
was
good.
I
agree.
The
CG
aspects
of
Appa
and
Momo,
like,
and
their
actual
bending,
that
was
all
really
good.
It
was
nuts.
It
was
a
little
graphic
on
certain
parts
too.
Like
the
fire
bending
stuff.
It
was
like,
okay,
that's
a
bit
much
for
a
Child
to
watch.
Yeah.
Our
nine
year
old
watched
the
season
with
us
and
said,
where'd
the
guy
go?
We
had
to
fast
forward
a
couple
parts,
cover
her
eyes,
but
that.
That
it
was
good.
I
recommend
it.
Agreed.
And
you
said
when
we
first
started
talking
about
Avatar
Live
Action
that
we
binged
that.
And
we
recently
just
binged
Three
Body
Problem.
Oh,
my
goodness.
And
you
said
that
we
hadn't
binged
in
a
while.
It
had
been
a
month.
It's
been
two
months.
Okay,
that's
enough.
Well,
not
very
far.
We
did
binge
Avatar,
but
we
didn't
binge
it
as
hard
as
Three
Body
Problem
because
we
did
have
our
nine
year
old
watching
it
with
us
because
she
freaking
loves
the
cartoon.
But
talking
about
Three
Body
Problem,
that.
Seriously,
for
one
season,
on
my
top
five
list
already.
A
hundred
percent.
I
don't
know.
I
don't
know
if
it's
definitely
top
10.
I'll
say.
I
don't
know
if
it's
top
five
because
it's
quite
the
cliffhanger.
I'll
say.
Yeah.
You
gotta
hope
that
more
seasons
come
out
and
close
up.
They
better.
Because
if
they
leave
it
like
this,
then
I'm
probably
gonna
have
to
read
the
books.
But
I'm
gonna
read
the
books
anyways,
I
think.
Yeah,
me
too.
I
do
want
to.
It's
so
hard
for
me
to
even
talk
about
the
show
because
of
how
twisty
and
turny
it
is
at
first.
You're
like,
what
the
fuck
is
happening?
Seriously.
The
best
way
I
can
describe
it
is
Inception.
Except
not
dreams.
It's
the
universe.
They
revealed
a
lot.
Yeah.
In
the
first
season,
which
I
liked
a
lot.
Because
you're
like,
what?
Why
are
these
events
happening?
And
they
give
you
these
little
subtle
hints
and
then
all
of
a
sudden,
boom.
They're
like,
all
right,
we're
gonna
answer
that
question
that
you've
had
for
the
first
three
episodes.
We're
gonna
answer
it.
We're
gonna
straight
up
tell
you
what's
happening.
And
you're
like,
what
the.
It's
almost
like
overload.
Yeah.
Yeah.
You're
like,
holy.
Yeah.
But
it
was
insane.
It
was
or
it
is
so
far,
very
amazing.
I
freaking
loved
it.
I'm
a
sci
fi
dweeb
and
this
is
like
the
perfect
show
for
me.
The
actors,
they
have
too.
Yes.
Are
really
good.
I
will
go
so
far
to
say
this
is
better
than
their
first
adaptation,
which
is
Game
of
Thrones.
I
think
it's
better
than
Game
of
Thrones.
Get
out.
Nope.
No.
Goodbye.
100%.
No.
You're
lying.
Because.
No,
because.
Do
you
remember
how
Die
Hard
we
Were.
I
love
Game
of
Thrones.
I'm
not
saying
it's
bad.
No.
Let
me
just
say
our
maternity
shoot
for
our
daughter
nine
years
ago,
almost
10,
we
had
a
chalkboard
that
said
winter
is
coming
and
so
is
our
daughter.
This
is
how
into
got.
We
were
got.
I
am
of
Thrones.
You
can't
say.
Yes,
I
can.
Because
I
prefer
sci
fi
over
fantasy.
And
there
wasn't
much
mind
in
Game
of
Thrones.
It
was
more
of
like
this
static
political
scheme.
Yeah.
Which
I
love.
Don't
get
me
wrong.
But
this
one
is
like.
You
literally
say
holy
almost
every
other
episode
because
you're
like,
did
that
just
happen?
Holy.
I
remember
looking
at
you
like
10
times
an
episode.
Like,
what?
But
I
still
feel
like
the
idea
of
Inception.
Right.
Where
you
have
to.
We
have
to
go
back
and
re.
Watch
that
with
the
things
that
we
know
now
about
it.
I
agree.
Because
there's
so
many
underlying
metaphors.
Things
that
are
said
but
not
that
are,
you
know,
said
in
a
certain
way,
but
mean
something
else.
And
it.
It's
a
mind
for
sure.
Yeah.
I
liked
it
a
lot.
And
I
can't
wait
for.
For
hopefully
the
next
couple
of
seasons.
I
feel
like
I
know
more
about
physics
after
watching
it
too.
I
pretend
to
know
more
about.
I
know
that
I
am
physically
here.
Yeah.
And
I
don't
even
want
to
discuss
this
too
deep
because
of
how
insane
the
twists
and
turns
are.
It's
nuts.
I
don't
want
to
spoil
anything.
Just
know
that
it
was
amazing.
I
really
want
to
read
the
books.
I
do
too.
I
feel
like
it
would
be.
Although
it's
probably
gonna
be
one
of
those
where
I
struggle
with
a
lot
of
the.
Like
Game
of
Thrones.
Yeah.
Names
and
places.
Oh.
Especially
since
it's
a.
It's
a
Chinese
novel
and
the
characters.
Names
don't
translate
one
for
one
to
the
book.
Yeah.
But
that's
okay.
It's
gonna
break
my
brain.
But
that's
good.
We've
got
a
lot
of
books
to
read.
You
have
a
lot
of
books
to
read
to
tell
me
about.
No.
Because
we
have
Chris's
book
coming
out
in
May
and
then
we
also
have
these
books
for
three
Body
problem.
I
mean.
Yeah.
Crazy.
I.
Yeah.
How
smart
do
you
have
to
be
in
order
to
write
a
book
like
that?
But
I
mean,
we.
Seriously,
we
have
been
on
a
kick
of
watching
TV
recently.
Yes.
That's
because
good
shows
are
actually
coming
out.
Right.
The
strike
is
over.
Shogun's
out.
I
was
getting
ready
to
go
there.
Glad
we're
one
mind.
Shogun
is
another
one
that.
That's
on
fx.
Right,
Right.
Yes.
It
is
all
about
the
Japans.
Back
in
the.
What
is
it,
1600s,
is
it.
Is
it
considered
feudal
Japan?
Oh,
yeah,
I
think.
Is
that
what
they
call
that
age
for
Japan,
Feudalism?
Feudal,
maybe.
I
think
that's
what
time
of
the
samurai.
Yes.
Essentially
the
Shogun
rule
and
things
of
that
nature.
Absolutely.
Anyways,
there
was
the.
The
rise
of
the
Catholic
Church
there,
too.
Yes.
With
the
Portuguese.
Yes.
So
shogun's
all
about
a
man
from
England
who
sails
to
Japan
trying
to
find
what
the
Portuguese
have
been
quote,
unquote,
hiding.
It's
supposed
to
be
this
big
trade
that
they
have
with
Japan.
Yeah.
And
full
of
riches.
And
England
wants
in
on
it.
Portugal
is
getting
rich
off
of
Japan
and
they
kind
of
trying
to
keep
it
to
themselves.
Right.
So
the
gentleman
from
England
makes
it
there
and
then.
Then
ensues
all
the
political
samurai,
shogun
world
of
Japan
that
this
gentleman
from
Britain
is
forced
into.
Right.
And
culture
stuff
like
the
culture
shock
he
experiences.
Well,
I'm
trying
to
get
this
to
come
out
of
my
head.
Right.
The
idea
that
anybody
from
a
different
country
calls
the
person
that
is
native
a
savage.
Right.
That
idea
of
they,
as
in
the
Japanese,
are
calling
this
guy
from
England.
A
savage,
calling
him
a
barbarian,
and
he's
calling
them
savages.
Right.
It's
really
funny,
but
it's
like,
who's
right?
You
know,
I
know
neither
of
them
are,
but
who's
right
in
that
situation?
Because
you
have
the
gentleman
from
England
who
won't
take
more
than
one
bath
a
week.
Yeah.
I
don't
want
to
get
the
flex.
Because
of
dysentery,
which
is
because,
you
know,
back
then
they
had
unclean
water.
In
England,
it
was
a
huge
population
in
a
small
area
which
lent
itself
towards
water.
Exactly.
Whereas
in
Japan,
they
didn't
have
that
problem.
So
they
bathed
all
the
time.
Right.
They
had
bath
houses.
Like
this
was
a
thing.
Yep.
So
who's
right?
Obviously
neither.
But
the
idea
of
the
culture
clash
is
huge
in
this
show.
It
is
beautiful
to
watch,
in
my
opinion.
Yes.
And
I
will
say
that
I
am
kind
of
on
the
UK
guy
side
and
freaking
out
over
their
culture.
It
is
rigid.
It's
so
rigid.
So
spoiler
alert
right
now,
for
real,
because
at
the
very
beginning
of
the
show.
Spoiler
alert.
Yeah.
There
is
a
scene
where
a
guy
speaks
out
of
turn.
Yep.
And
it's
a
huge
sign
of
disrespect.
In
defense
of
his
quote,
unquote
lord.
And
the
lord
of
the
kingdom
that
he
lives
in.
I
don't
know,
fif.
Whatever
it's
called,
fifo.
Fum.
Yeah.
He
spoke
out
of
turn
and
he
had
to
kill
himself
and
kill
his
infant
son
to
stop
his
bloodline.
I'm
like,
holy
shit.
Just
for
talking.
Yep.
And
the
wife
of
the
guy
who
just
killed
himself
and
the
child.
They
forced
her
to
stay
alive
for
honor.
Right.
And
she
became
the
consort
of
the
barbarian
UK
guy.
And
I
thought
that
dynamic
was
super
interesting
too.
The
consort
doesn't
necessarily
mean
pillowing,
but
she
takes
care
of
the
affairs
in
his
house.
Yes.
So
cleanliness.
And
this
isn't
to
say
that
she's
cleaning
his
house.
She
has
servants
to
do
that
because
he's
technically
this
higher
ranking
person
now.
But
it
has
to
be
done
in
a
certain
way.
Again,
rigidity.
And
she
takes
care
of
finances,
like
making
sure
that
the
servants
get
the
dinners
ready.
And
it's
nuts.
It
is
extremely
interesting
watching
that.
But
that
culture
scares
me.
I
don't
know,
there's
just
something.
It's
poetic.
Right.
The
whole
idea
of
this
time
period,
to
me,
like
the
biggest
thing
out
of
it
is
poetry.
Like
haiku
is
a
big
thing.
I
think
it
came
during
this
time.
And
the
way
that
they
have
the
other.
Well,
she.
Her
name
is
Mariko
and
she
is
the
translator
for
the
guy
from
the
uk.
Yes.
And
the
way
she
describes
things
like
the
eighth
wall
fence,
the.
I'm
not
really
spoiler
alert.
I'm
not
really
here
in
the
moment
with
you.
I
can
be
a
million
miles
away
within
myself
and
protecting
myself.
Like
the.
It's
poetic
the
way
they
describe
things.
It's
a
solid
show.
It's.
I
believe
it's
only
a
one
seasoner,
which
is
unfortunate,
but
it's
based
on
a
book
and
it's
one
book,
so
they
plan
on
it
being
over
and
that's
it.
But
it's.
It's
solid.
I
definitely
enjoy
that
one.
It's.
It's
on
the
more
violent
end
of
things,
so
if
you're
sensitive,
probably
skip
it.
Well,
and
then
my
dad
told
me
it's
actually
a
reboot.
They
did
it
back
in
the
80s
too.
And
he
said
he
liked
it.
Yeah,
totally.
Good
show.
And
again,
I
think
we
have
really
kind
of
immersed
ourselves
in
Japanese
culture
at
the
moment.
I
love
that.
I've.
I've
always
wanted
to
go
to
Japan
one
day.
I
think
we
will
one
day.
I
feel
like
I
might
be
really
tall.
You're
ridiculous.
It
might
be
the
only
place
you're
five
seven.
You're
not
that
tall.
Five
nine.
Oh,
okay.
I
think
you're
five
seven.
I'm
five
nine.
Okay,
well,
go
get
the
yards.
I'm
Five,
two.
So
it's
fine
anyways.
But
Japanese
culture.
Our
daughter
loves
sushi.
She
does.
I
have
never
met
anime.
Yes.
And
anime.
I
have
never
met
another
nine
year
old
that
likes
sushi
as
much
as
she
does.
And
we're
not
talking
about
just
California
roll.
We're
talking
about
nigiri
which
is
tuna
on
top
of
a
seasoned
ball
of
rice.
Straight
tuna.
Yeah.
It's
nuts.
She
loves
it.
She.
So
we
would
go
to
this,
this
spot
and
I
would
get
three
different
types
of.
Of
nigiri
which
would
be
salmon,
some
kind
of
white
fish
and
then
tuna.
She'd
steal
my
tuna.
And
every
time.
And
I.
And
it's
okay.
She's
my
daughter.
But
I
want.
Wanted
that
damn
tuna.
That's
my
favorite
one
on
the
plate.
So
now
we've
started
ordering
her
own.
Yes.
She
gets
an
order
of
ga.
She
gets
a
California
roll
and
she
gets
two
pieces
of
the
tuna.
I
don't.
I'm
probably
butchering
the
way
you
say
that.
But
it's
close
enough.
If
you
say
so.
We
went
to
a
place
actually
in
Tampa.
Yes.
Called
Cura
K
U
R
A.
And
it
is
conveyor
belt
sushi.
And
we
were
in
heaven.
I
liked
it.
I
didn't
love
it.
Agreed.
The
experience
was
top
level.
You
cannot
get
that
experience
anywhere
else.
And
I
think
that's
why
I
enjoyed
it
so
much.
Especially
watching
our
kiddo.
Huh?
She
loved
it.
Oh
yeah.
She
was
in
heaven.
I
just
wish
the
food
was
a
little
bit
better.
Agreed.
You
know
when
you
get
to
buffets
for
sushi
or
this
idea
of
conveyor
belt.
Right.
It's.
It's
going
around
the
belt
a
couple
times.
Yes.
And
it's
sushi
makes
me
scared.
Hot
lights.
And
we
didn't
get
sick
or
anything.
That's
not
saying.
But
you
know,
the
flavor,
the
freshness
isn't
right
to
you.
Yeah.
I
like
when
we
go
to
our
favorite
spot.
I
always
get
that
tri
color
sushi.
But
it
always
comes
out
and
that
fish
is
cold.
And
I
love
that
feeling.
I
don't
know.
It's
something
about
that,
that
the
coldness
of
the
fish
with
the
little
bit
of
cold.
Cold
ginger
and
then
a
little
bit
of
cold
wasabi
on
the
top
of
it.
It's
the.
You
don't
really
get
that
there.
A
lot
of
the
stuff
there
was
room
temp
right
well
and
it
was
cooked.
True.
Another
thing
that
they
did
was
you
could
actually
order
straight
from
the
belt.
Yes.
So
they
had
one
that
was
kind
of
going
around
all
the
tables.
But
then
there
was
one
that
would
come
directly
to
your
table
that
was
Cool.
And
it
would
literally
go
every
time.
The
other
cool
part.
Depositing
your
plates.
Yes.
They
gamified
sushi
eating
every
15
plates.
You
got
a
prize.
You
got
a
prize.
So
we
had
to
eat
a
lot.
We
were
determined.
We
got
to
22
plates.
So
we
did
get
one
prize.
Yes.
We
couldn't
make
it
any
further,
but.
I
think
it
was
every
five.
You
got
a.
An
animation
on
the
screen.
So
there's
a
screen
at
your
table
too,
that
you
can
actually
order
specialty
dishes
from,
which
was
kind
of
cool.
It
would
shoot
it
directly
towards
you.
And
that
shit
was
fast.
It
was
cool,
but
it
was
awesome.
I
enjoyed
the
experience.
I
just.
I'm
a
sushi
fan
too,
and
I
just.
Very
particular
about
it.
I
guess
I
get
it.
But
also,
one
of
the
things
that
our
daughter
loves
is
the
Gudetama
show
on
Netflix.
Yes.
And
it's
about
an
egg
who
escapes
a
sushi
restaurant.
It's
weird.
It
is.
But
she
likes
it.
But
they
actually
have
a
show
or
in
the
show
they
actually
have
a
conveyor
belt
sushi
place.
Yes.
So
she
was.
Again,
she
loved
it,
loved
the
experience.
And
she
even
noticed
certain
things
that
I
didn't
while
we
were
there.
There
was
one
of
the
robots
that
would
actually
go
around
in
her
Gudetama.
Show,
take
two
drinks
and
take
drinks.
And
serve
and
take
away
plates.
There
was
one
in
this
restaurant
and
she
pointed
it
out
to
me.
Yep.
Okay.
I
had
no
idea
what
that
was.
Yeah.
I
mean,
I.
I
would
go
back.
It
was
up
there
in.
In
expense.
I
would
go
back
just
for
the
toilets.
Oh,
see,
I
didn't
go
there.
Oh,
my
God.
These
toilets,
they
were
kind
of
crazy
to
me
and
our
daughter.
But
she.
I
mean,
you
know,
she
was
amazed
too.
But
they're.
I
believe
they're
Japanese
toilets.
There's
no
touch.
You
don't
touch.
You
can
make
selections
if
you
want.
Selections
for
what?
They
have
a
bidet.
There
is
other
options
of
like
to
clean
it,
like
in
clothes
and
there's
lights
and.
Wait.
There
was
so
much
going
on
with
this
toilet.
Did
you
use
the
bidet?
No.
God,
no.
Why
not?
I
don't
know
how
I
feel
about
a
public
bidet.
Why?
I
don't
know.
It's
just
blasting
water
in
your
bung.
Right.
But
blasting
water
and
other
water
had
touched
it.
I
don't
know.
I
just.
I
don't
know
how
I
feel
about
it.
But
it
was
just
a
cool
toilet.
See,
I
wish
I
would
have
went.
And
now
I
have
to
go
back
so
I
can
do
the
toilet.
Oh,
and
it
was
a
heated
seat,
too.
Because
I
will
try
the
bidet.
It
was
a
heated
toilet
seat.
I
will
yolo
that
bidet.
Oh,
my
God.
You
see,
but
the
only
thing
that
I
don't
like
about
that,
they
say
it's
more
environmentally
friendly
because
you're
not
using
paper.
You
gotta
dry
your
butt,
though.
You
can't
just
pull
your.
Pull
your
chaps
up.
This
toilet
may
have
a
dryer,
too.
You
think
it
dries
your
butthole?
I
don't
know.
There
was
a
lot
of
options.
That
answers
my
question
then.
And
maybe
we
should
just
buy
those
toilets
for
our
house.
No.
Okay,
again,
dryer
on
the
butthole.
Still
so
much
going
on
in
the
world,
we're
going
to
jump
from
all
things
popular
television
and
our
experience
at
that
restaurant
over
to.
If
you
didn't
know,
Russ
and
I
were
born
and
raised
in
the
D.C.
metropolitan
area.
We
lived
there
our
entire
lives
until
we
moved
to
Florida
about
three,
four
years
ago
now.
We
heard
about
the
bridge
collapse
in
Baltimore.
Yeah,
Key
Bridge.
Crazy.
Yeah.
Absolutely
crazy
that
something
like
that
happened
where
we're
from.
Like,
I
mean,
we're
not
directly
in.
That.
Weren't
directly
in
that
area,
but
that
whole
area
is
the
Metropolitan
of
D.C.
Let
me
ask
you
a
question.
How
many
bosses
do
you
think
said
you
have
to
come
into
work
anyway?
Well,
apparently
there
was
no
way
in
or
out.
That's
what
I'm
talking
about.
That.
That.
That
was
a.
A
main
commuter
bridge.
Bridge
help.
Right.
That's
what
I'm
saying.
So
it's.
If
you
haven't
heard,
you
can
look
it
up.
It's
all
over
social
media.
But
the
Key
Bridge
essentially
collapsed
after
a
shipping
vessel
collided
with
the
structure
with
one
of
the
bridge
beams.
And
you
can
actually
watch
the
whole
video
because
they
have
a
live
video
feed
of
the
bridge.
So
you
could
see
the
boat
lose
power
twice.
Twice.
And
slam
into
it.
Right.
And
it's
kind
of
weird.
Here
we
go.
I
know.
I
am
not
a
bridge
expert.
I.
This
is
purely
opinion.
Take
it
for
what
you
will.
You
go
watch
the
video.
Unfiltered
opinion.
Exactly.
We
should
do
that.
Make
a
button.
Unfiltered
opinion
every
time
we
start
doing
this
crap.
But
go
watch
the
video
and
you'll
see
when
the
boat
strikes
it.
There's
a
good
amount
of
time,
at
least
a
couple
seconds
before
the
whole
thing
falls.
I
mean,
maybe
that's
how
it's
supposed
to
happen.
I
don't
know.
But
it's
odd.
Also,
on
top
of
that,
infrastructure
is
a
big
problem
in
that
us
in.
Well,
yes,
true.
But
also
in
the
D.C.
area,
it
is
very
overpopulated
in
the
D.C.
area.
And
infrastructure
is
a
large
problem.
Seeing
this
happen.
There's
a
lot
of
bridges
into
D.C.
yeah,
it's.
They
purposefully.
The
founding
fathers
purposely
picked
D.C.
because
it
was
hard
to
invade.
Exactly.
As
the
capital,
and
also
because
the
south
bargained
to
have
the
capital
in
the
South.
But
anyways,
so
the
idea
of
one
of
these
bridges
in
the
beltway
going
down
is
crazy.
A
lot
of
people
don't
understand
that
when
a
boat
loses
power,
there
is
zero
steering.
Right.
It
does
not.
You
can't.
It's
not
like
your
car,
that
if
you're.
If
you
lose
power,
you
can
still
kind
of
coast
your
way
and
turn.
Turn
and
all
that.
You
can't
do
that
here.
Yep.
There's
no
power,
no
steer
well.
And
whatever
your
last
action
was,
it's
almost
like
in
space.
Right.
Your
last
action
will
kind
of
propel
you
that
way.
And
there's
no
stopping
it.
Oh,
yeah.
Parking
a
boat
is
super
weird.
It's
totally
different
than
what
you
would
think
because
you
have
to
have
either
acceleration
or
forward
or
backwards
to
make
that
thing
move.
Right.
That's.
That's
it.
It's
wild.
So
the
people
were
saying,
well,
why
didn't
he
just
steer
it
out
of
the
way?
And
I'm
like,
well,
if
you
lose
power,
you
have
no
way
to
steer.
You're
done.
You're
dead
in
the
water.
And
if
you're
moving
forward,
you're
going
to
keep
moving
forward.
I
don't
know.
Me
either.
Go
watch
it
for
yourself.
Make
your
own
opinion.
Make
it
unfiltered.
Well,
here
at
the
Unfiltered
Union,
we
also
decided
over
spring
break
to
do
something
kind
of
crazy.
What
did
we
do?
We
decided
to
get
annual
passes.
Yes.
To
Busch
Gardens,
SeaWorld,
Adventure
Island.
What
else
am
I
forgetting?
Aquatica.
Aquatica
and
discounts.
To
Discovery
Cove.
Yeah,
it's
like
11
parks
that
are
included.
Holy
crap.
Is
it
really?
Yeah,
I
think
so.
But
it's
all
over
the
country.
Oh,
we
can
go
to
any
of
those
parks
throughout
the
U.S.
okay,
fair.
But
the
ones
that
are
most
local
to
us
are
going
to
be
Busch
Garden,
SeaWorld,
Adventure
island,
and
Discovery
Cove.
I
think
of
the
11,
there's
four.
Sure
glad
you
agree.
Okay.
So
we
decided
to
get
annual
passes.
We
were
wondering
what
to
do
for
spring
break.
We
both
took
a
week
off
with
our
kiddo.
And
what
do
we
do?
So
we
decided
to
just
yolo
it
and
get
annual
passes.
We
went
to
Busch
Gardens
for
our
first
experience.
Now,
I
had
been
to
Busch
Gardens
in
Williamsburg,
Virginia,
a
long,
long,
long
time.
Ago.
Honestly,
I
don't
really
remember
it.
But
the
experience
at
the
Busch
Gardens
in
Tampa,
I
think
it
was
really
clean.
It
was
good.
The
kids
area
was
great.
Plenty
of
adult
rides,
lots
of
great
animals.
Yes,
they
were.
It
was
a
cool
spot
for
sure.
But
the
food
was
horrible.
I
mean,
we
didn't
really
try
to
go
out
of
our
way
to
get
anything
good,
though.
Okay.
Because
we
can
give
it
the
benefit
of
the
doubt.
They
have
that
big
restaurant.
I
can't
remember
what
it's
called.
Oh,
the
giraffe
thing.
Giraffe
restaurant.
Well,
they
had
that
one
that
was
like
New
Orleans
or
Serengeti
something.
I
don't
know.
Serengeti
and
Nora's
is
two
totally
different.
Very
class.
But
it
was
that
we.
We
didn't
try
the
restaurants.
Okay.
Fair.
We
did
try
grab
and
go
type
food.
So.
Carnival
food.
Yeah.
So
it's
not
gonna
be
good.
Okay.
And
then
parking
was
a
little
confusing
too.
Yeah,
well,
that
was
our
fault.
No,
I'm
talking
about
to
even
get
into
the
parking
zone
in
general.
Remember
we
made
that
crazy
left
turn
to
the
drop
off
area.
But
that's
where
GPS
told
us
to
go.
Well,
he
was
supposed
to
drop
us
off,
but
that
was
okay
once
we
figured
it
out.
It's
fine.
So
next
time
it'll
be
perfectly
fine.
I
agree.
But
overall,
I
think
the
experience
was
enjoyable.
We
did
a
lot
of
the
gentle
rides.
Our
kiddo's
not
a
big
fan
of
roller
coasters.
Oh,
we
did
one
roller
coaster
in
the
Sesame
street
area.
Greatest
faces
of
all
time.
We
do
have
some
really
good
pictures
of
her
reaction
to
that.
That
I
will
not
show
you
because
I
don't
know
you.
Okay.
Creep.
So
also,
again,
we
had
the
annual
passes.
It
was
spring
break.
We
decided
just
go
to
Busch
Gardens.
Well,
that
Friday
before
spring
break
ended,
we
decided
let's
go
to
Adventure
Island.
The
water
park.
The
water
park.
Yes.
That
was
a
mistake.
It
was
the
Friday
before
spring
break.
Ended,
which
to
me
means
it's
going
to
be
packed.
The
rides
are
going
to
be
running.
Hopefully
everybody's
split
amongst
all
the
rides.
I
agree.
I
thought
it.
I.
I
felt
it
in
my
soul
that
it
was
going
to
be
crazy.
It
was
going
to
be
pretty
packed.
Yeah.
I
mean,
we
live
in
Florida
and
people
come
here
for
things
like
spring
break.
Absolutely.
But
never
in
my
wildest
imagination
did
I
think
that
there
was
going
to
be
no
food
available
other
than
churros
and
ices.
Why
in
that
spot
that
we
went
to
that
we
waited
20
minutes
to
get
food
in
line
for
churros
and
icy
churros
and
Icy's
as
well.
As
they
had
three
rides
open.
Yep.
Three.
So
you
have
a.
It
seemed
like
it
was
almost
at
Capacity
Park.
So
all
those
people
were
only
funneling
to
three
rides.
Yep.
The
lines
were
ridiculous.
Then
we
proceed
to
go
to
use
our.
We
have
the
Platinum
pass.
Comes
with
one
quick
queue
a
day.
Yep.
We're
allowed
to
skip
the
line
once
a
day.
And
we
went
to
use
it
and
the
lifeguard
there
was
like,
oh,
we're
doing
quick
queue
today.
We
were
like,
I
don't.
Hang
on.
Yeah,
I
don't
work
here
though.
But.
Yeah,
you're
doing
it.
And
he
let
us
on.
But
it
was
like
we
were
getting
death
stared
by
all
these
people
because
he
didn't
scan
anything
for
us.
It
just
felt
weird.
Yeah.
So.
And
we
did
that
one
ride
and
we
left.
We
weren't
going
to
wait
again.
Yeah.
So
we
left.
It
was
a
waste
of
a
trip.
Luckily
it's
not
terribly
far
from
where
we
live.
But
it
was.
It
was
not
worth
it.
It
really
wasn't.
No.
That
was
bad.
That
was
that.
They
should
have
just
closed.
They
should
have.
And
we
heard
a
bunch
of
security
guards
and
other
people
who
are
working
there
talking
about
how
many
complaints
they
were
getting.
Yes.
Guest
services
line
was
wrapped
around
the
building
for
people
either
trying
to
get
their
money
back
or
complaining.
And
people
were
getting
pissed.
I
felt
bad
for
the
on
the
ground
employees
that
work
there.
Yeah.
Because
they
were
getting
berated.
Yep.
One
of
the
security
people
we
overheard.
I
don't
know
why
people
are
mad
at
me.
We
just
work
here.
You
know,
I'm
like,
I'm
not
mad
at
you.
Nope.
Not
mad
at
you.
But
whoever
runs
this
place,
I
think.
I
think
it's
a
mistake
to
be
open.
Yep.
But
that's
not
on
you.
You're
just
working
and.
I
understand.
Yeah.
And
the
wave
pool
was
under
refurburation
or
whatever.
That's
the
wrong
word.
What
is?
That's
it.
I
don't
know.
Refurbishment.
That.
Refurbish
it.
It's
not
even
a
word.
I
need
a
shirt
with
that
word.
I'm
gonna.
That's
going
on
the
merch
shop.
Refurbish.
I
gotta
figure
out
how
to
spell
that
first.
Holy.
That'll
be
good.
I'm
terrified.
So
overall,
two
or
out
of
the
two
park
only
bush
gardens
was
good.
Now
I
wasn't
fun.
I
will
say
though,
that
we
have
friends
that
go
to
Adventure
Island
a.
Lot
and
have
never
had
that.
Have
never
had
that
experience.
So
we
just
had
bad
luck
that
day.
But
still
we'll
try
again.
We
Will
we
have
annual
passes?
And
then
most
recently
for
Good
Friday,
our
kiddo
had
out
of
school
again.
So
we
decided
to
use
our
pass
again
and
go
to
SeaWorld.
We
did
go
to
SeaWorld.
And
that
was
another
mistake.
It
really
wasn't
though.
I
feel
like
we
put
a
lot
of
stress
on
that
trip
and
if
we
hadn't
done
that,
then
maybe
it
wouldn't
have
been
so
rough.
But
yeah,
we
were
determined,
like.com
determined
to
touch
dolphins.
And
the
reason
is
because
we
are
in
Tampa.
It's
a
long
ass
drive
to
Orlando.
To
Orlando
to
go
to
SeaWorld.
So
we're,
we
wanted
to
make
sure
that
if
we're
going
there,
we're
going
to
do
something
that's
almost
kind
of
unforgettable.
Right.
And
when
we
got
there,
we
were
like,
holy,
this
place
is
packed.
But
they
didn't
allow
us
to
book
our
animal
encounter
through
the
app.
Well,
they
didn't
allow
us
to
book
our
one
free.
Right.
Animal
encounter
through
the
app.
Right.
So
as
a
platinum
pass
member,
you
get
one
animal
encounter
a
year
included.
And
we
were
trying
to
do
that.
Well,
we
go
to
guest
services
and
guest
services
line
is
like
80
minutes
long.
Yep.
Insane.
Yep.
So
I'm
panicking
because
I
did
not
just
drive
from
Tampa
to
Orlando
to
not
touch
a
pickle.
Explain.
Our
kiddo
described
the
touch
and
feel
of
a
dolphin
equivalent
to
a
large
pickle.
Yes.
Which
is
hilarious.
Now
I
will
never,
ever
forget
that.
But
yeah,
we
drove
all
that
way.
I
wanted
to
touch
dolphin
and
I
wanted
all
of
us
to
touch
dolphin.
I
got
on
the
map
and
we
ran
all
the
way.
There's
a
guest
services
strictly
for
past
members.
We
ran
literally
from
the
start
of
the
park
to
the
end
of
the
park.
We're
dying.
I
had
our
kiddo
on
my
back.
Huh.
We
were
running
because
we
wanted
to
get
it.
And
I
was
looking
at
the
app
and
you
can
see,
see
the
queue.
The
queue
for
how
many
slots
are
left
for
these
dolphin
encounters?
But
you
can't
book
it
unless
you
pay
for
it.
And
they
were
slowly
going
away
and
I'm
like,
if
we
don't
go,
we're
not
gonna
get
one
of
these
encounters.
Huh?
So
we
ran.
We
ran
and
we
got
it
and
we
touched
a
large
pickle.
Her
name
was
Haley.
That,
that
was
awesome.
It
really
was.
Was
worth
it
for
that.
But
everything
that
led
up
to
that.
Home,
but
that
was
on
us.
That
was
not
Sea
World's
fault.
We
chose.
We
chose
a
day
that
everybody
has
off
down
here.
And
of
course
it's
going
to
be
crowded.
Yep.
And
plus
you
were
determined
it's
spring
break
for
a
lot
of
other
places.
Other
places
that
are
traveling
here
for
their
spring
break.
So
it
was,
it
was
a
good
experience.
It
was
just
too
crowded
for
me.
But
I
mean,
like,
overall
though,
it
is
a
very
clean
park.
Yeah.
No,
I've
got
no
qualms
with
what
with
that
park.
Yep.
That
was
awesome.
Yep.
The
kids
area
again
had
a
Sesame
street
area.
We
rode
a
carousel.
Yes.
That's
like
the
only
ride
we
really
wrote.
We
did
most
of
the
animal
experiences,
which.
They
have
a
nice
looking
aquarium.
They
have
this
shark
experience,
which
was
really
cool.
Go
on
this
conveyor
belt,
like
were
the.
Did
the
sharks.
We
were
sushi.
I
saw
it
on
your
face
as
soon
as
you.
We
were
for
the
sharks.
That's
funny.
But
yeah,
it's
a
conveyor
belt
that
you
go
through
this
tank
that
you
feels
like
you're
inside
of
it
and
you
got
sharks
swimming
all
around.
It
was
awesome.
Yeah,
it
was
a
really
good
experience.
And
again,
we
focused
on
the
animals
rather
than
the
rides.
But
that's
what
our
kiddo
wanted
and
that's
what
we
did.
Yeah.
The
only
thing
we
didn't
do
was
food.
Again.
We
did
kind
of
the
carnival
food
option.
Yeah.
But
what
they
had
available
seemed
better.
Yes.
Than
Adventure
island
and
Busch
Gardens.
What
was
that?
Bar
and
grill?
No,
it
wasn't
bar
and
grill.
It
was
their.
Their
fancy
restaurant
was
actually
inside
of
that
shark
exhibit.
Yeah.
So
you
would.
Shark
Cove.
Yeah,
Shark
Cove
or
something
like
that.
But
you
would
sit
in
that
shark
tank.
It
was
cool
as
well.
You'd
sit
in
a
restaurant
that
had
a
shark
tank
view.
Yeah.
But
it
was
like,
it
looked
like
you
were
in
it
because
like
the
whole
wall,
think
floor
to
ceiling
with
shark
tank.
Yep.
They're
swimming
right
next
to
people
that
are
eating.
And
I'm
like,
that's
kind
of
unsettling,
but
I'll
do
it.
But
I
do
think
our,
our
next
stop
is
going
to
be
Discovery
Cove.
I
really
do
think
we
need
to
do
that.
Yeah.
It's
a
must.
It's
a
day
resort
and
it's
all
artificial,
but
they
have
an
artificial
reef
you
can
actually
swim
through.
And
there's
fish
in
there.
So
you're
swimming
amongst
all
these
nice
looking
tropical
fish.
You
can
swim
with
dolphins
and
then
if
you
pay
extra,
you
can
swim
with
sharks.
Never
in
a
million
years.
But
yes
to
the
dolphins.
I
think
the
dolphins
are
actually
included.
I
think
you
can
upgrade
your
experience,
though,
and
do
like
different
dolphin
experiences.
Like
they'll,
they'll
tow
you.
I
want
to
swim
with
the
dolphin?
Yes.
I
want
to
touch
another
pickle.
I
do,
too.
I
would
love
to
swim
with.
I
would
never
in
a
million
years
willingly
swim
with
sharks.
Jump
into
a
swim
area
with
sharks.
If
they're
there,
I
get
into
the
ocean.
Yes,
I
do
swim
in
the
ocean.
I
know
that
they're
out
there
somewhere.
But
to
willingly
say,
I
want
to
swim
with
a
shark.
No,
I.
I
get
what
you're
saying.
No,
you
don't.
Yeah,
I
do.
Because
if
you
walked
up
to
the
beach
and
you
saw
a
shark
fin
swimming
around,
you're
not
getting
in.
No,
exactly.
Because
you
know
it's
there.
Right.
But
if
you
walk
up
to
the
beach
and
there's
no
shark
fin,
then
you're
fine.
Yes,
because.
Thanks
for
mansplaining.
What?
I
was
just.
Oh,
Jesus.
That's
another
shirt
we
need
to
make.
What
was
it
referring?
I
can't
remember.
Referberation.
Refurbishion.
Yeah,
write
it
down.
I'm
going
to.
Now,
I
think
the
last
two
things
that
I
wanted
to
hit
on
here
is.
This
is
an
hour
show.
No,
it's
not.
No,
it's
not.
So
have
you
heard
of
this
term
called
sleep
divorce?
Yes.
What
does
it
mean?
You
sleep
in
separate
rooms.
Yeah.
So
this
article
said,
if
you're
tired
of
being
tired,
you
might
consider
what
more
couples
are
finding
themselves
doing.
More
cruffles.
More
couples
sleeping
in
separate
bedrooms.
And
while
that
may
sound,
you
know,
really
good,
like
if
you're
not
in
bed
next
to
me,
I
know,
where
are
you?
And
then
my
mind
starts
going,
right.
Yeah,
but
maybe
that's
the
problem.
So
what,
I
should
just
not
expect
you
to
come
to
bed?
I
don't
know.
That
would
be
weird.
We
have
an
alarm
system.
You'll
know
if
I
leave.
I
don't
really
care.
You
do.
That's
a
lie.
Well,
I
mean,
it's
a
comfort,
right?
It's
the
security
that
you
are
there.
Right?
Yeah.
But
then
you
about
me
snoring.
True.
Well,
I
think
the
point
is.
And
you
about
me,
Storm.
What's
your
point?
It's
more
or
it's
less
about
you
snoring,
more
about
you
talking.
I
don't
know
who
the
you're
talking
to.
Ah,
I
have
a
lot
to
process
in
my
sleep,
thank
you.
And
then
to
add
another
layer
in
a
separate
bed
in
our
bedroom.
We
have
76
beds
in
our
bedroom.
We
really
do.
No,
we
have
two.
And
one
bed
is
us.
And
then
in
another
bed,
but
still
in
our
bedroom
is
our
daughter
and
doll.
Yeah.
And
the
dog
will
scratch
his
neck
in
the
middle
of
the
night.
And
then,
like,
do
the
little
on
his
arms.
Do
they
have
arms?
Legs.
And
our
kiddo
talks,
too.
I
guess
it's
a
hereditary
thing.
Oh,
my
God.
I'm
surprised
you
two
haven't
conversated
before.
While
you
were
sleeping.
That's
a
word.
But
I
just
thought
about
the
sleep
divorce.
Like,
the
idea
of
you
not
sleeping
in
the
bed
is
one
thing,
but
the
idea
of
our
kiddo
not
being.
In
the
other
bed
actually
sleeping
in
her.
Her
own
room.
That's
crazy.
I
know.
Is
that
a
divorce?
That's
not
a
divorce.
No,
that's
a
sleep.
Adoption.
D.
Adoption
emancipation.
Oh,
my
God.
It's
about
time
to
wrap
this
up.
Okay,
so
last
quote
here
of
the
day.
You
ready?
No.
Kid
Rock.
He's
so
inspirational.
He's
so
funny.
He
literally
tweeted
the
other
day.
I'm
now
driving
the
field
trip
bus
after
banging
four
hookers
last
night.
Dad
of
the
year.
I
could
hear
it.
I
definitely
believe
that
he
would
say
something
like
that.
For
sure.
Love
you.
Bye.
