Linds

I'm

Linds.

Russ

And

I'm

Russ.

Linds

Here

is

this

week's

episode.

Russ

Hi.

Linds

I

think

we

need

a

side

hustle.

Russ

What

does

that

mean,

a

side

hustle?

What

do

you

think

this

podcast

is

supposed

to

be?

It's

a

failing

side

hustle.

But

it's

a

side

hustle.

Linds

Easy

now.

Russ

I'm

just

saying.

We

have

seven

downloads.

Linds

Okay,

so.

Russ

Been

doing

this

for

six

years

now.

Linds

Okay,

so.

Russ

And

it's

not

good

on

Facebook.

Linds

Someone

is

selling

snowballs

that

they

accumulated

during

the

snowstorm

up

in

northern

Florida,

and

they

are

selling

them

for

$250

a

piece.

A

piece?

A

baggie.

Russ

Why

would

you.

It's

rain,

bro.

Linds

But

it's

Florida

snow.

Russ

Okay?

So

what

I'll

do

is

I'm

next.

Next

time

it

rains

in

Florida,

which

is

right

now,

I'm

gonna

go

outside

with

a

sandwich

bag,

fill

it

up

with

rain,

and

put

it

in

the

freezer.

Linds

Florida

snow.

Russ

Florida

snow.

Linds

Well,

that'd

be

ice.

Russ

Florida

ice.

It's

the

same

thing.

It's

a

solid.

Linds

Okay,

sure.

Russ

Science.

This

is

not

going

well.

Why?

Linds

My

hair's

a

mess.

Russ

It's

fine.

Linds

It.

Russ

It's

fine.

You're

fine.

It's

fine.

This

is

staying

in,

too.

Linds

No,

it's

not.

Russ

Yeah,

it

is.

So

this

episode

today

is

sponsored

by

Midnight

Signals

podcast.

Linds

Oh.

Russ

It'S

a.

That's

another

side

hustle,

though.

Linds

Okay.

That's

our

side

hustle.

Russ

That's

one

of

them.

This

one

in

that

one.

Linds

That.

That's

your

side

hustle.

Russ

What's

mine

is

yours,

what's

yours

is

mine.

Linds

Document

it.

Clack

it.

Russ

Put

it

up.

Linds

Put

it

down.

Hey,

right

there.

Russ

Hey.

I'm

good

with

that.

You

make

more

money

than

me.

Linds

Nine

to

five.

Russ

That's

on

the

record.

You

make

more

money

than

me.

You're

the

sugar

mama

now.

Linds

So

I'm

the

captain

now.

Russ

If

you

decide

to

leave,

guess

what?

Linds

Leave.

What?

Russ

Me.

Oh,

I

get

half.

Linds

Is

that

what's

in

your

head

right

now?

Russ

It

hurts

you

more

than

it

hurts

me.

Linds

Is

that

what's

in

your

head

right

now?

Russ

I'm

just

saying.

I'm

just

saying.

I

got

you.

You

would

be

the

one

getting

the

short

end

of

the

stick.

First

off.

First

off,

you'd

be

without

this.

Linds

My

trophy

husband.

Russ

Yeah,

my

trophy

husband.

Linds

And

you're

not.

You

don't

have

a

trophy

husband.

I

have

a

trophy

husband.

Russ

I

am

not

gay.

But,

yeah.

Linds

Good.

Russ

You

just

have

to

give

me

half.

Linds

Okay.

Ready?

Russ

So

just

don't

leave.

All

right,

I'm

ready.

Tax

season.

Boo.

Linds

I

Can't

with

you.

Good

lord.

Russ

Speaking

of

tax

season,

I'm

not

going.

Linds

To

get

a

word

in

edgewise.

Russ

Ron

DeSantis

just

said

he

is

on

board

with

eliminating

the

state

income

tax

or

state

property

tax

in

Florida.

There

is

no

state

income

tax

in

Florida.

The

state

property

tax

he's

talking

about

getting

rid

of.

Cool,

that's

a

big

deal.

He

doesn't

want

people

to

have

to

pay

taxes

on

something

they've

already

paid

taxes

on

when

they

purchase

the

item.

As

in

your

house,

you

pay

a

bunch

of

taxes

when

you,

when

you

buy

it

and

then

you

have

to

pay

the

government

in

perpetuity

for

rights

to

live

in

your

own

freaking

property.

That

is

a

scam,

my

friends.

Linds

So

does

that

mean

assessments

aren't

a

thing

or

is

that

separate?

Russ

Well,

so

the,

the

negative

to

this

is

it

doesn't

affect

local

taxes.

So

your

county

taxes.

So

for

example,

state

versus

local.

Linds

I

got

you.

Russ

We're

in

Tampa,

so

we're

in

Hillsboro,

Hillsborough

taxes.

Obviously

the

state

has

no

control

over

those,

but

state

taxes

will

hopefully

be

eliminated.

He

said

he's

going

to

support

any

bill

that

is

like

the

top

level

of

getting

rid

of

state

property

taxes.

So

the

problem

with

it

is

in

Florida

it

has

to

be

a

60%

vote

to

eliminate

or

to,

to

do

a

constitutional

amendment

in

Florida.

So

that,

that's,

that's

where

we're

at.

But

he's

going

to

support

it.

And

who

the

hell

wouldn't

vote

for

less

taxes?

If

you

do

vote

for

keeping

more

taxes,

you're

dumb.

Linds

Dumb,

dumb,

dumb.

Russ

I

want

them

to

stop

taxing

me

for

fucking

Social

Security

that

I'll

never.

Linds

Get

to

pay

for

other

people's

Social

Security.

Yeah,

but

taxes

are

coming

up,

boo

boo.

So

I

don't

know

if

you've

seen

this,

but

it's

been

going

around

on

Tik

Tok

where

an

actual

Supreme

Court

opinion

in

Flora

versus

the

United

States

Flora

is

often

quoted

that

the

proposition

of

the

opinion.

Anyways,

our

system

of

taxation

is

based

upon

voluntary

assessment

and

payment,

not

upon

distraint.

Russ

Oh

wait

a

minute.

So

you're

talking.

Linds

Right?

Russ

Well

what's

voluntary

about

me

getting

half

my

check

taken

out

every

two

weeks?

Linds

Uh

huh.

They're

saying

that

you

can.

They're

not

forcing

you

to

pay

the

taxes.

You're

supposed

to

go

out

and

do

your

tax

return

on

your

own.

They

don't

just

forcibly

take

all

that

out.

Russ

But

that's

not

true

because

if

I

decide

to,

not

if

it's

voluntary

and

I

say

no,

I'm

not

going

to

do

it

this

year,

they

Will

put

me

in

jail

or

garnish

my

wages.

I

don't

understand,

like

how

that's.

Voluntary

garnishment

of

my

wages

is

stealing

from

me.

Linds

There

are

many

cases,

I

guess,

of

the

United

States

versus,

you

know,

individuals.

Russ

Let's

fix

that.

Linds

I

liked

it.

Russ

45

degrees,

honey.

Sheesh.

We've

been

doing

this

for

six

years

and

you

still

don't

have

mic

etiquette.

Linds

Anyways,

so

the

United

States

versus

all

these

people.

And

all

these

people

said

that.

Well,

back

in

the

decision

of

the

Flora.

Flora

versus

the

United

States,

we

said

that

it

was

voluntary.

Then

I

shouldn't

have

to

pay

taxes.

Every

single

person's

lost.

Russ

Well,

yeah.

Linds

Tax

filing

at

the

end

of

the

year

is

voluntary,

meaning

that

you

have

to

go

out

and

prepare

your

own

taxes,

but

the

actual

act

of

paying

taxes

is

not

voluntary.

But

this

statement

keeps

popping

up,

so.

Russ

Hang

on,

hold

on.

So.

So.

So

you're

saying

that

I

don't

have

to

file

taxes?

Linds

You

do

if

you

don't

want

to

go

to

jail.

Russ

No,

no,

no,

no,

no.

I

don't

have

to

file

taxes.

You.

They

just

said

that

that's

voluntary.

Linds

Although

treasury

regulations

establish

voluntary

compliance

as

the

general

method

of

income

tax

collection,

Congress

gave

the

state

of

the

treasury

the

power

to

enforce

the

income

tax

laws

through

involuntary

collection.

It

don't

make

no

sense.

Russ

So

what?

I

don't

know.

Because

if

I.

Okay,

why

should

I

go

out

and

use

TurboTax

then?

Linds

Because

you

are

voluntarily.

I

don't

want

to

voluntarily

your

taxes.

Russ

Then

I

don't

want

to.

Linds

So

they

don't

involuntary

come

take

you

to

jail.

Russ

How

about

they

prepare

my

taxes

for

me

since

they

got

to

make

this

complicated

ass

100%.

Linds

Why

can't

they

just

involuntarily?

Because

all

of

this

leads

to

jail

if

you

don't

do

it.

Russ

Destroy

the

irs,

take

the

taxes

and

flat

tax

me

every

month.

Linds

Yep.

Russ

Because

it

equals

out.

If

you

flat

tax

everybody,

I

don't

know,

15%.

We'll

just

pretend

15%.

That

means

rich

people

will

pay

more.

Because

15%

of

$1

million

is

obviously

more

than

15%

of

$10,000

or

$100,000.

So

flat

tax

me.

And

that

way

rich

people

can't

pay

their

way

through

lawyers

and

red

tape

and

loopholes

and

write

offs.

Yeah,

loopholes

that

are

purposefully

in

there

that

they

use

because

they

can

afford

to.

They

can't

do

that

with

a

flat

tax.

It's

like,

oh,

your

company

made

$100

million

this

year.

Well,

you

owe

us

15%.

Linds

Originally,

the

government

was

meant

for

national

security.

Russ

Yeah,

we're

not

there

no

more.

Linds

Right?

We'll

get

there

in

a

second.

So

take

what

you

need

in

order

to

get

the

national

government

done,

but

from

there.

Why

do

I

have

to

be

involved?

I

don't

know

what

all

of

these

back

and

forth

taxation

things

mean.

I

have

a

cousin

who's

very

smart

in

all

of

it.

I

will

give

her

her

props,

but

I

cannot

for

the

life

of

me

figure

out

a

tax

form.

Like.

Russ

No,

but

it's.

It's

almost

purposeful

because

there's

a

whole

industry

created

around

doing

something

that's

required

by

law.

It

doesn't

make

sense

to

me.

Linds

But

it's

voluntary.

Russ

No,

it

isn't.

Ask

Wesley

Snipes,

huh?

Linds

So

I

can't

wait

to

see

what

Dodge

does.

Russ

Yeah,

I

did

read

and

heard

that

they

are

entering

the

IRS

building

this

week

and

I

do

hope

they

go

in

there

and

crack

some

skulls.

It

needs

to

happen.

The

IRS?

Why

do

they

need.

I

can't

remember.

2,

200,000

agent

IRS

agents

with

firearms

and

ammo.

They

bought

that

stuff?

Linds

Good

grief.

Russ

It's

insanity.

Like,

it's

like,

oh,

it's

voluntary.

Then

why

you

need

guns,

bro?

Linds

Right.

Dodge

actually

has

a

tracker.

I

don't

know

if

you've

seen

this,

but

you

can

actually

download

an

app

even.

But

it's

Dodge

tracker

dot

com.

And

literally

it

shows

everything

that

they're

working

on

as

far

as,

you

know,

what

their

recommendations

are

for

elimination

because

they

don't

have

the

authority

to

eliminate,

but

they're

giving

recommendations

on

what

to

eliminate

and

how

much

the

savings

has

accumulated

to.

I

got

a

question.

So

do

we

get

a

bigger

refund

or

are

we

saying

that's

a

sunk

cost

and

maybe

lower

taxes

later?

Russ

No.

Like,

no,

because

we're

still

operating

at

a

deficit.

Linds

Yeah,

but

our.

Okay,

that's

a

billion,

not

a

trillion.

Okay.

Russ

Yeah,

yeah.

We're

not

even

close

to

touching

that.

Linds

Yeah.

Russ

But

I

did

see

one

of

the

line

items

that

they

cut.

It

was

millions

of

dollars

for

Mozambique

circumcisions.

Why

are

we

paying

for

this?

Linds

Improving

learning

outcomes

in

Asia.

And

I

don't

understand

voter

confidence

in

Liberia.

Russ

Like,

yes,

that

was

one

of

them.

It's

crazy,

the

circumcision

thing.

It's

like,

what

are

you

doing?

I

don't.

What

the.

Why

are

we

over

in

other

countries

promoting

circumcisions?

Linds

That's

insane.

Russ

It's

like,

I

got

scissors.

I

did

mine

for

free.

Linds

Ow.

They

call

it

a.

A

bris,

I

think,

in

the

Jewish.

Russ

Oh,

yeah.

Don't

they

have

a

whole

ceremony?

Linds

Yeah.

So

did

you.

Russ

Did

you

have

yeah,

but

I

did

it

myself.

I

didn't

have

a

party.

Linds

Okay.

Russ

No,

I'm

just

kidding.

I'm

joking.

Linds

All

jokes.

Russ

I

have

a

child,

so

it

works.

Linds

Oh,

I

didn't

know

where

you

were

going

with

that.

Russ

I

didn't

butcher

the

op.

Linds

There

you

go.

Okay,

so.

Russ

Love

you.

Linds

So

with

all

of

this

in

mind,

you

know,

a

lot

of

people

seem

to

have

concerns

over

what

Dodge

is

doing

and

I

don't.

I

mean,

I,

I

can

understand

like,

what

does

it

take

to

run

a

government.

None

of

us,

100%

understand

what

that

is

what

it

takes

to

run

a

government.

So

all

of

these

are

recommendations.

They're

not

just

cutting

things

out.

It's

up

to

the

executive.

I

believe

it's

the

executive

branch

that

would

then

make

the

decision

on

what

to

do

with

any

of

these.

So

I

feel

like,

let's

just

watch,

like

the

idea

that

all

of

this

money

is

going

to

waste

and

there's

a

potential

that

we

could

be

less

impacted

in

paying

more

taxes.

I

mean,

I

feel

like

it's

a

win,

right?

Russ

Well,

they're

taking

away

things

that

we

are

paying

for

for

other

countries.

It's

not

necessarily

people

here

that

are

going

to

be

affected

by

it.

Not

only

that,

a

lot

of

what

Dodge

has

uncovered

is

literal

theft.

They're

paying

Politico.

I

can't

remember

a

ridiculous

amount

of

money

of

your

taxes.

That's

a

freaking

journalistic

organization.

How

are

you

paying

for

them

with

my

money?

Linds

When

you

say

things

like

the

Department

of

Education

is

being

cut,

like

people

freak

out,

right?

Russ

Okay,

yeah,

but

they

are.

Linds

What

part

of

their

funding

are

we

cutting

in

the

Department

of

Education?

So

I

think

there's.

Russ

We

need

to

dismantle

that

whole

org

too.

Linds

I

think

there's

a

lot

going

on

that

needs

to

be

piece

by

piece

and

just

watch,

right?

Let's

just

watch

the

recommendations

that

come

out

and

see

what

happens.

Russ

I

saw

a

tweet

the

other

day

about

it.

We

got

Dodge

over

there

cutting

the

Department

of

Education

when

8th

graders

can't

read,

12th

graders

can't

write,

blah,

blah,

blah,

blah.

They

were

like,

hey,

exactly,

exactly,

exactly.

They

go.

I

mean

they're,

they're,

they're

in

charge

right

now

and

all

these

kids

can't

do

normal.

School

taught

things.

Linds

Right.

Russ

So

what

are

they

doing

besides

soaking

up

all

these

funds

for

what?

Linds

Right.

Russ

I

don't

know.

I

think

we

need

to

go

more

back

towards

state

run

programs

in

schools.

And

honestly,

we

should

go

back

toward

more

towards

school

choice

type

type

deals

too.

Linds

Pretty

good

about

that.

Russ

It's

a

monopolistic

thing.

The

Department

of

Education

is.

They

have

a

monopoly

on

what

they

consider

education.

Linds

That

was

pretty

cute.

So

cute.

Well,

I

think

with

all

this

stuff

going

on

with

Dodge

and

that

we're

making

all

these

fun

cuts

to

international

type

fundings

right

where

it

sounds

like

other

countries

are

getting

pissed

off.

One

of

them

currently,

probably

more,

because

we're

saying

that

they

should

become

a

51st

state,

but

is

Canada.

Russ

Oh,

thank.

Thank

you.

Are

we

talking

about

hockey?

Linds

We

are.

Russ

Yeah.

Linds

Note

the

shirt.

We

are

talking

about

hockey.

Russ

I

love

it,

though.

That

was

so

awesome.

Them.

Them

dumb

asses

up

in

the

north.

Yeah,

I'm

calling

y'all

dumb

asses

because

you

pissed

me

off.

Now

I

don't

even

want

you

over

here.

Linds

Hold

on.

So

there's

a

tournament

going

on

called

Four

Nations

Face

Off.

And

it's

the

U.S.

canada.

I

think

it's

Sweden.

And

there's

one

more.

I

can't

remember

what

the

other

one

is

Russia.

Russ

Maybe.

Linds

Maybe.

Maybe.

I

don't

know.

Russ

I

don't

know.

Linds

But

anyways,

US

And

Canada

faced

off

recently.

Russ

Last

night,

I

believe.

Linds

Yes,

but

based

on

when

this

airs.

Russ

But

when's

this

air?

Linds

Recently.

So

during

the

national

anthem

of

Canada,

everything

was

respectful,

peaceful,

quiet.

US

Anthem

comes

on,

the

Canadians

boo

the

national

anthem

of

the

United

States.

Russ

Not

a

good

look,

bros.

Nope,

nope,

nope,

nope,

nope.

Sue,

keep

your

booze

over

there.

Linds

So

as

soon

as

maple

syrup

ass.

As

soon

as

the

puck

is

dropped,

dummies,

gloves

are

dropped

by

all

the

US

Players

on

the

ice,

including

the

Canadians.

Russ

Now,

you

said

the

U.S.

lost

two

fights.

Linds

Yes.

Russ

I

did

not

see

that.

Linds

Okay?

Russ

I

watched

them.

No,

no,

no.

Linds

If

you

watch

the

fights,

Canada

won

two

of

the

fights.

Russ

I

don't

believe

that.

Linds

And

the

U.S.

won

one.

And

they

were

good

fights.

I

mean,

like,

it

was

pretty

close.

Russ

I

didn't

see

the

ones

where

the

US

Lost.

Okay,

well,

you're

bullshitting

me

right

now.

Linds

But

overall.

Russ

But

listen,

our

bird

is

an

eagle.

Their

bird

is

a

goose.

Linds

Overall,

the

game

was

won

by

the

United

States,

three

to

one.

Russ

Yeah,

we

beat

y'all

asses

in

your

own

sport.

Now

shut

up

and

stay

up

there,

stupid.

Linds

I

can't

get

a

word

in

edgewise.

Okay,

so

one

of

the

things

that

they

kept

saying

the

night

before

the

match

was

that

anytime

Sidney

Crosby

has

been

on

the

line

for

Canada,

they

have

not

lost.

They

were

at

26

to

0

against

any

international.

Russ

Did

he

play

last

night?

Linds

He

played

last

night

and

they

lost

26.

One.

Russ

Good.

I

don't

like

him

either.

Linds

I'm

not

a

fan.

Russ

He

cries

a

lot.

Linds

Yep.

Russ

He's

Kind

of

like

I

remember

when.

What

was

that

disease

they

all

had

in

the

locker?

Mumps

or

whatever.

Linds

I

don't

know.

Russ

Damn.

That

dude

looked

like

a

chipmunk

with

his

cheeks

all

big.

Linds

That

was,

what,

back

in,

like,

08

or

something?

Russ

So

weird.

He

looked

like

he

had

a

bunch

of

nuts

in

his

mouth,

which

I'm

sure

he's

used

to.

Linds

I

can't.

Okay,

so

he,

I

think,

is.

Even

though

I

do

not

like

him.

Russ

He'S

a

good

player.

Linds

He

is

a

good

player.

Russ

He's.

He's

highly

skilled.

Is

he

as

good

as

Ovi?

No.

Linds

Nope.

Speaking

of

Ovi,

check

the

shirt.

Check

the

shirt.

We

are

16,

16

goals

away.

16.

Russ

He's

gonna.

That's

going

to

be

an

insane

feat

that

he

beats

Wayne

Gretzky

and

his

record.

Linds

Yes,

That's.

Russ

That

is

huge.

So,

Wayne,

hockey

is

hard

as

hell

to

score

in

now

versus

back

when

Wayne

Gretzky

was

playing.

Linds

Those

pads

are

huge.

Russ

Yeah.

The

goalie.

It's

like

you

have

three

inches

of

space

to

score

in

now,

but.

Linds

Oh,

God,

what

did

you

do?

Oh,

my

gosh.

Russ

My

toenail

ripped

off

somehow.

Oh,

no.

Linds

Stop.

Russ

On

air.

Linds

I

cannot.

Okay.

Pain.

Russ

Don't

grab

your

Hooper,

Wayne.

Linds

Wayne

Gretzky

holds

the

record

currently

for

the

most

amount

of

career

goals

at

894.

Ovechkin

is

16

away,

per

the

analysts

of

sports.

He's

gonna

hit

it

this

year

or

this

season

in

March.

So

we're

not

even

gonna

get

into

postseason

before

he

hits

this.

I'm

so

excited.

Russ

I

do

hope

he

pads

it,

though.

I

mean,

well,

he's

got

the

rest.

Linds

Of

the

season

if

he

hits

it

a

lot.

Russ

And

I.

I

do

hope

he

keeps

playing.

He's

getting

up

there

in

age,

though,

to

be

honest

with

you.

But

I.

I

think

he's

got

gas

in

the

tank.

The

dude's

got

skills.

Linds

He's

got

some

babies,

though,

too.

Russ

Yeah,

but,

I

mean,

he's

a

tough

fellow.

He

broke

his

leg

this

year,

I

think,

didn't

he?

Linds

Oh,

I

don't

recall.

Russ

I

feel

like

he

did,

but

he's

back.

Linds

Yeah.

Russ

Either

way,

16

to

go.

Dude's

gonna

break

it.

We.

I'll

be

honest

with

you.

We

haven't

watched

a

lot

of

hockey

since

moving

to

Florida

because

it's

hot

here

and

it

doesn't

make

sense.

Yeah,

it

is.

Linds

No,

we

don't

want

to

pay

for

tv.

Like,

a

tv.

Russ

Yeah.

We

cord

cut

and

we

see

and

we

cord

cut,

and

not

only

did

we

cord

cut,

we

really

only

have

Netflix.

Linds

Right.

We

have

very

minimal

Amazon

Prime.

Russ

Like,

very

minimal

yeah,

we

have

the.

The

what

comes

with

Amazon,

you

know,

because

we

have

to

have

prime.

You

got

to

have

that

today.

Linds

Oh,

yeah.

Russ

Well,

it's

even

faster

here

because

we're.

Tampa

has

distribution

centers

everywhere,

but,

yeah,

I

do

hope

he

gets

it.

And

I

want

to

be

sure

we

watch

that.

That

game

because

they're

going

to

celebrate

like

crazy

for

him,

which

they

should.

Linds

It's

going

to

be

the

North

Carolina

game.

I

think

they

said

March

10th

is

what

they're

guessing.

Obviously,

they

can't

know.

Russ

Well,

he's

got

to

score

a

lot.

Linds

And

16.

16.

We're

almost

there.

Oh,

so

excited.

So

switching.

Switching.

Wait,

hold

on.

Who

do

you

think

is

better,

Oveskin

or

Crosby?

Russ

All

right,

I

just

said

that

Ovechkin's

easily

better.

Linds

I

just

wanted

it

for

the.

Russ

Crosby

will

never,

ever

get

as

many

goals

to

get

close

to

Gretzky's

record.

Linds

Yep.

Just

for

the

record.

Just

for

the

record

and

for

my

dad's

sake.

Russ

Oh,

he's

gonna

be

mad

about

this.

Linds

So

super

bowl

just

happened.

Boy,

super

bowl

just

happened

recently.

Russ

Yes.

Thank

God

they

lost,

too.

Linds

Yes.

So

we

all

know

that

the

Chiefs.

Well,

I

couldn't

think

of

what

the

team

was

called

for

a

second

there.

Russ

That

dude

Mahomes

has

the

most

annoying.

Linds

You

think

he

reminds

me

of

Seth

Rogen

a

lot?

Russ

Yeah,

a

little

bit.

He's

got

that

weird

laugh.

It

makes

no

sense.

Where

is

it

coming

from?

Linds

We

get

a

break

for

a

little

while

from

football,

from

Taylor

Swift,

from.

Russ

I

was

happy

to

see

that.

That.

That

Taylor

Swift

kind

of

get

booed,

too.

Did

you

see

that

video?

She

looked

like

that

meme

of

that

Muppet

looking

character

where

he's

looking

at

the

camera

and

then

looking

away.

She

looked

just

like

that.

And

then

you

could

see

her

mo

mouth.

What

is

happening?

Because

she

was

getting

booed.

It's

like,

are

you

out

of

touch?

Linds

Everybody

says

she

looked

like

Sharpay

from

High

School

Musical

just

standing

there,

just

all

jacked

up.

Russ

Yeah,

well,

and

then

they.

They

all.

Everybody

cheered

for

Trump.

Like

it

was

a

huge

cheer.

Yeah,

yeah.

Same

just

happened

at

NASCAR

Daytona

500

is.

Was

today.

And

Trump

did

his.

His

rounds

there

in

that

place

erupted

and

Air

Force

One

did

a

flyover.

Thunderbirds

did

a

flyover.

The

Beast

went

around

the

track

a

couple

times.

You

know

how

much

gas

they

probably

use

going

around

that

track

in

that

thing?

The

freaking

presidential

limousine

is

called

the

Beast,

and

it

weighs

22,

000

pounds.

Linds

It's

insane.

Russ

It's

a

Cadillac

that

weighs

22,

000

pounds.

It

weighs

so

a

NASCAR

weighs

3200

pounds.

What's

the

math

on

that?

Seven

times

as

much.

That's

insanity.

Linds

That's

a

lot.

Russ

How

and

how

fat.

They

won't.

It

was

top

secret.

They

tried

to

ask

how

fast

it

can

actually

go.

They

were

like,

we're

not

telling

you.

That

thing

probably

flies

and

shit.

Linds

Flies?

Russ

Yeah.

Linds

Jumps.

Russ

Yeah.

Linds

It's

got

sideways

all

the

things.

Russ

It's

got

boosters

in

it.

It

probably

floats.

Linds

And

back

to

the

topic

of

the

Super

Bowl.

So.

So

Taylor

Swift.

You

know

how

her

and

Kelsey.

Right?

Our

thing.

Russ

She

probably

beat

him

when

he

got

home.

I'm

joking.

I'm

joking.

Linds

All

jokes.

I

know.

But

recently,

MLB

at

MLB

on

X,

Twitter,

whatever

the

heck

you

want

to

call

it.

Posted

a

picture.

Russ

Who

is

mlb?

Linds

Major

League

Baseball.

Russ

Oh,

okay,

okay,

okay.

I

was

just

making

sure.

No,

I

was.

You

were.

You

were

talking

about

MLB

like

it

was

a

human.

Linds

You're

still

blonde.

It's

cute.

Okay,

so

the

MLB

posted

a

picture

of

one

of

their

pictures

on

the

Dodgers.

I'm

sorry,

I

don't

know

his

name,

but

holding

hands

with

Taylor

Swift

and

said,

can't

wait

for

the

upcoming

season.

Russ

Oh,

my

Travis.

Linds

Kelsey

responded,

what

the.

It

looks

so

good,

too.

Russ

It

was

AI.

Linds

I

don't

know

if

it

was

AI

or

they

just

overlaid

her

face

or.

Russ

It

could

have

been

like

a

previous.

No,

no,

no,

it

wasn't.

Linds

No.

These

have

never.

And

this

picture,

this

MLB

picture

is

actually

married.

So

it

may

have

just

been

his

wife

that

he's

holding

hands

with

and

they

put

Taylor

Swift's

face

on.

Russ

Oh,

my

God.

That's

hilarious,

though.

Linds

That

was

bad.

Russ

That

is

masterful

trolling.

That's

better

than

Wendy's.

And

Wendy's

has

some

skills

when

it

comes

to

trolling.

Linds

That

was

really

good.

Okay,

but

back

to

the

question

of

which

one.

Which

one's

better?

Russ

I

already

told

you.

I

don't

know

how

many

times

you

want

me

to

say

that.

Oveskin

is

going

to

stomp.

No

crybaby

Crosby.

Linds

New

one.

Ready?

Patrick

Mahomes

or

Tom

Brady?

Russ

Tom

Brady.

Come

the

fuck

on.

Linds

They

keep

saying

that

every

time

Tom

Brady

is

in

the

vicinity

of

a

Super

bowl,

that

Patrick

Mahomes

loses.

So

Tom

Brady

was

announcing

at

the

Super

Bowl,

Patrick

Mahomes

lose.

Um,

they're

trying

to

make

that

correlation.

Russ

Tom

Brady's.

It'll

take

a

lot

to

surpass

that

dude.

Linds

Like

what

a

three

beat?

Would

the

three

Pete

have

done

it?

Russ

No,

no,

no.

Because

I

think.

I

think

half

the

team,

Half

the

Kansas

City

Chiefs

are

refs,

so.

Linds

Okay,

yeah,

I

was

Curious.

Russ

I.

I

don't

even

like.

I

don't

like

football,

period.

And

some

of

the.

Linds

I

do.

Russ

I

enjoyed

watching

Patrick

Mahomes

get

on,

though.

Linds

Well,

that's.

That's

good,

I

guess.

That's

Rogan.

So

recently.

Russ

Oh,

my

God,

that

toenail

is

killing

me.

Linds

Oh,

my

God,

you're

killing

me.

Okay.

Got

to

get

through

this.

Recently,

we

finished

a

series

that

we've

been

watching

for

a

while

now.

Russ

Yeah.

Just

ended.

Linds

Cobra

Kai.

Russ

Just

ended.

Spoilers

just

in

case.

Linds

Yep,

all

the

spoilers.

In

case

you

haven't

seen

it

yet.

Again,

Netflix

is,

like,

one

of

the

only

platforms

we

have,

but

it's

over.

Russ

And

I

told

you

this

before

this.

This

final

season.

And

I

told

you

it

should

have

been

done

a

while

ago.

Linds

Yeah.

Russ

They

start.

They

started

getting

kind

of

outlandish

and

unrealistic.

At

least

at

first

it

was,

like,

made

sense.

Linds

High

school

bullying.

Russ

High

school

bullying.

And

then

you.

You

know,

Johnny

Lawrence

was

the

old

bully,

but

he

essentially

let

his.

His

high

school

karate

catch

up

to

him.

Like,

he

was

labeled

a

loser.

He

labeled

himself

a

loser

his

whole

life

because

of

losing.

And

it

was

about

a

lot

of

trauma

for

Johnny.

Linds

Yep.

Russ

And

that

was

all

believable.

Bringing

back,

like,

high

school

rivalries

with.

With

Danny

and

all

that

stuff.

Linds

The

All

Valley.

Like,

those

things

are

believable.

Russ

Then

they

started

getting

silly.

Like,

all

the

kids

would

go

to

the

other

person's

house

and

they'd

be

fighting

in

the

house.

Like,

it's

like,

dude,

that's

not.

At

least

in

Florida

that

ain't

happening.

We

got

stand

your

ground

laws

here.

Like,

all.

Everybody

would

have

been

dead.

Linds

Well,

I

don't

even

think

that

was

the

outlandish

part.

It

really

came

to

me,

like,

outlandish

when

it

was

the

breaking

of

bones

of

each

other

and,

like,

you

guys

are

using

weapons

and

then

you

go

to.

I

think

it

was

South

Korea

was

a

part

of

it.

And

then

they

had

this

dojo

that

was

just,

like,

really

crazy.

Like

there's

just

some

weird

things

that

started

to

happen.

Russ

It

was

too

much.

They

got

too.

I

know

they

were.

I

don't

know.

They

got

too

weird.

Linds

Yeah.

Russ

Too.

Too

fake

to

me.

Linds

Yeah.

Russ

Like

in

the

first.

Well,

was

it

the

first

season

or

the

second

season

where

main

character

got.

Linds

Say

it.

We

already

said

spoilers.

Russ

Okay,

well,

main

character

broke

his

back.

Linds

Miguel.

Yeah.

Russ

In

the

first

season.

Linds

Second.

Russ

Second

season.

Yeah,

I

think

it

was

the

second

season

because.

Yeah,

but.

But

that

all

was

fine

because

it

was

like.

Like

you

said,

high

school

bullying.

Yeah.

And.

And

the.

To.

To

your

little

rivalry

caused

real

life

Screw

ups.

Linds

Which

happens.

Russ

Right?

Linds

I

mean,

13

reasons

why,

like

that's,

that's

a

real

thing.

Russ

But.

And

then

all

of

a

sudden

you're,

you're

talking

about

these,

like,

these

adults

like

John

Kreese

and

Silver

from

the

old

movies.

Linds

And

they

were

insane

in

the

old

movie.

So

it

correlated.

Russ

But

it

was

like

it

was

too

much.

It

was

like

they

were

treating

the

kids

like

they

were

soldiers

in

a

war.

It's

like,

you're

not

in

Vietnam,

bro.

Linds

But

I

think

that

was

the

point.

They

had

trauma

from

that,

so

they

brought

it

to

the

kids.

Russ

Yeah,

but

it

was

too

much.

It

was

like,

it

was

hard

for.

It

was

at

least

for

me.

It

was

hard

to

believe

that

any

of

these

kids.

Because

I

remember

being

a

high

school

kid.

I

was

dumb,

but

I

wasn't

that

dumb.

I

wasn't

going

to

let,

I

wouldn't

let

some

old

say,

bruh,

you're

in

a

war

now.

Everything's

war.

You

must

beat

everybody's

ass

or

else

you're

going

to

die.

Linds

You

wouldn't

even

listen

to

the

teacher.

Then

they

told

you

to

stop

doing

something.

Russ

No.

So

I

don't,

I

don't

know.

It

was

just

weird.

Linds

But

I

feel

like

this

last

half

of

season

six,

the

final

portion,

they

killed

it.

It

was

not

killed

it.

They

did

it.

Russ

Well,

I

know

they

killed

it.

They

kid.

They

did

a

really

good

freaking

job.

Linds

They

closed

it

up

so

well.

Put

the

bow

on

it.

It

was

nice

and

pretty.

It

was

a

very.

The

only

thing

that

I

think

could

have

been

a

little

better

was

Robbie's

part.

I

feel

like

he

got

a

little

shafted.

But,

I

mean,

he

ended

up

with

an,

with

a

deal

with

Tori,

so

maybe

that's

okay.

But.

Russ

Yeah,

but

I

see

what

you're

saying.

Because

he

never

won

a

championship.

Linds

Right?

Ever.

Russ

What?

Linds

But

he

gets

to

take

place

of

Johnny

and

do

it

right

rather

than

Johnny's

loser

mentality

throughout

his

life.

Russ

Right.

Linds

So

it

gives

me

mini

Johnny

do

over.

Russ

And

he,

he

accepted

it.

And

that

showed

growth

too,

like.

But

it

was

good.

I,

I

enjoyed

it

a

lot.

I,

I

actually,

I.

This

sounds

so

silly,

but

I

wrote

it

in

my

journal

last

night

that

I

think

that

they

ended

this

better

than

Breaking

Bad

ended.

Linds

Oh,

yeah,

I

agree.

Russ

And

they

ended

this

obviously

better

than

Game

of

Thrones

ended.

And

to

me

that

was

surprising

because.

Linds

They

had

gone

so

far.

Russ

Yeah.

I

was

seriously

concerned

about

how

they

were

going

to

finish

it

off

because

of

how

outlandish.

Yeah.

Linds

Aliens.

Russ

Karate.

Aliens

are

coming

with

swords.

Linds

I

had

a

dream

about

aliens.

It

was

very

vivid.

Russ

Oh

my

God.

Yeah.

And

you

already

wrote

a

book.

Linds

I'm

working

on

it.

I'm

working

on

it.

Russ

My

toe

is

bleeding

now.

Linds

Oh,

my

God,

this

toe.

So

did

you

hear

that

they

are

going

to

make

how

to

train

your

dragons

live

action.

Russ

Yeah,

I

don't.

Linds

Why

are

they

going

down

the

Disney

route?

Nobody

asked

for

this.

Russ

Because

clearly

it's

making

Disney

lots

of

money.

Linds

It

is.

Whoops.

I

don't

believe

that

to

be

true

at

all.

Because

all

of

their

live

actions

have

flopped.

Every

single

one.

Russ

They

flopped

to

you

because

they're

not

good.

Did

they

flop

in

the

box

office?

Linds

I

guarantee

you

they

didn't

do

as

good

as

they

thought

they

were.

Russ

Oh,

I'm

sure.

But

did

they

make

money?

Linds

Okay,

regardless,

nobody

asked

for

this.

Like,

the

whole

reason

why

I

like

DreamWorks

and

Illumination

is

because

they're

original,

right?

They

don't

follow

the.

The

usual

tropes,

if

you

will.

Whereas

Disney.

I

mean,

that's

their

bread

and

butter.

I

get

it.

But

at

some

point,

stop

remaking

stuff.

Russ

I

agree.

Linds

So

don't

go

down

this

route.

Russ

Originality

has

been

lost,

for

sure.

Linds

It

is

drowning

in

a

sea

of

remake.

Redo.

Reboot.

It

is

insane.

Okay,

I'm

done.

Russ

But

I

will

say

Gerard

Butler

does

seem

pretty

good

in

that.

Linds

Oh,

he

was

the

dad

in

the

original,

wasn't

he?

Yeah.

So,

I

mean,

I.

Okay,

I'm

sure

it'll

be

fine,

but

we

don't

need

it.

Who

needs

it?

Who

asked

for

this?

Point

to

them.

Where

are

they?

Russ

What

are

you

gonna

do,

smack

them?

Linds

Because

this

is

not

needed.

Give

me

something

new.

Russ

Science.

Linds

Bless

you.

Like,

Sonic

has

been

awesome.

Why

can't

we

find

more

things

like

that?

Russ

Yeah,

I

know

that's.

That's

not

really

an

original

ip,

but

it's

original

films,

right?

Linds

It's

original

content.

Russ

Right.

Linds

It

has

nothing

to

do

with

the

video

games

other

than

the

characters,

but

just

find

more

originality,

please.

The

love

of

God,

find

it.

Russ

Love

you.

Linds

Okay,

so

we

got

a

couple

of

things.

Russ

I'd

try

to

diffuse

the

situation

by

saying,

I

love

you.

Linds

It

did

It.

It

calmed

me

down.

I

appreciate

it.

Russ

No,

you're

welcome.

Linds

Okay,

thanks.

Russ

I'm

pretty

good

at

that.

I

should

be

therapists.

Linds

You

should

be

therapist.

Russ

I

should

be.

Linds

You

should

not

be

an

English

teacher.

So,

a

couple

things

coming

up.

Russ

Where?

Linds

Mardi

Gras

coming

up.

Russ

You're

gonna.

Am

I

supposed

to

buy

beads?

Linds

No,

we

get

enough

of

those

at

the

events

here

in

Florida.

Russ

Calm

down.

Linds

It

does

not

make

sense

how

they

throw

so

many

beads.

They

throw

them

at

the

Christmas

parade.

Russ

Gasparilla.

Linds

Thank

you.

They

throw

them

at

Gasparilla.

They

throw

them

at

just

random

events.

All

these

beings.

Russ

Yeah,

I

know

y'all

went

to

that

Christmas

parade

and

y'all

had

to

wear

hard

hats

because

you

were

getting

pelted.

Linds

Oh,

my

God.

They

were

mean.

Russ

Yeah,

they

were

like,

watch

this.

Watch

this

shit.

Watch

that

kid

fall

down

and

cry.

Linds

But

then

there's

Easter.

That's

coming

up

too.

Russ

Stop.

Linds

We

gotta

decorate

all

the

eggs.

And

then

St.

Patrick's

Day,

where

we

can.

Actually,

I

think

St.

Patrick's

Day

is

before

Easter,

but.

Russ

Yes,

that's

when

we

conceived

our

child.

Yes.

Linds

No,

it

was

after

St.

Patrick's

Day,

but

it

was

because

of

a

St.

Patrick's

Day

event.

Russ

We

were

drinking.

Linds

Meanwhile,

it's

85

and

sunny

in

Florida.

Russ

It

is.

Linds

And

we

have

sunburn.

Russ

And

our

families

are

getting

ready

to

get

smacked

up

with.

At

least

from

what

I

read,

at

least

6

inches

of

snow

on.

On

next

week.

English,

not

in

my

language.

Linds

Winner

today.

Yes.

In

Virginia,

near

the

D.C.

virginia.

I

said

in

Virginia.

Russ

No,

you

wrong.

Linds

Calm

down.

I

love

you.

Russ

Take

that

fingernail.

Linds

In

Virginia,

they're

about

to

get

6

inches

of

snow

on

top

of

their

already

existing

snow

from

a

couple

weeks

ago.

So

they

are

just

getting

it

piled

on.

Meanwhile,

we

have

sunburn

from

being

outdoors

this

weekend.

Russ

Yep.

First.

Well,

not

first,

but

first.

Soccer

and

stuff

is

in

full

effect.

And

it's

fun.

Linds

But

there

was

a

map

that

showed

the

United

States

of

all

the

weather

in

one

day.

Snapshot

in

Plant

City,

Florida,

it

was.

I

forget.

I

think

it

was

95.

In

North

Dakota,

it

was

negative

5.

Negative

5.

Russ

100

degrees.

Linds

100

degree

difference

between

a

northern

point

and

a

southern

point

in

the

country.

That's

insane.

Russ

Who

the

lives

in

North

Dakota?

Linds

Not

us.

Russ

I

know

my

buddy's

dad

does.

Well,

at

least

he

did

and

he

said

that

it's

not

good.

Linds

No.

Come

to

Florida.

Russ

Imagine

the

houses,

how

they

have

to

be

built

to

withstand

that.

That

cold

Heat

is

different.

Like

100

degrees.

Yeah.

It

could

be

kind

of

uncomfortable

after

a

while.

But

you

can

drink

water,

hydrate,

pour

water

on

yourself,

get

in

water.

But

what

are

you

gonna

do

in

negative

5?

Linds

Just

bury

yourself

in

blankets,

Fleece,

wool.

Russ

I

can't

fire

well,

if

you

run

out

of

wood.

Yeah,

I

think.

I

think

my

buddy's

dad

actually

has

a

geothermal

set

up

there

too.

And

they

dug

a

big

old

hole.

Linds

In

the

ground

and

I

had

an

intrusive

thought.

I'm

glad

I

didn't

say

it

out

loud.

Russ

Might

have

been

bad.

Is

that

it?

Linds

Yeah.

Russ

Love

you.

Linds
