00:00:00.000 hello simone i'm excited to be here with you today she has spent all day refusing to tell
00:00:04.080 me what we're going to do an episode on because she is so excited to spill the beans on this one 0.93
00:00:09.020 so what is it simone yeah so okay you know how gender reveal parties became popular out of
00:00:16.620 nowhere getting so intense that ultimately five people have died in gender revealed party
00:00:22.420 potentially way more than five because one might have caused that massive wildfire in
00:00:26.640 But when did cause the 2020 wildfire?
00:00:29.480 Because it was way more than five people.
00:00:31.420 Yeah.
00:00:32.040 So, well, I mean, confirmed, you know, directly resulting from the initial thing.
00:00:37.020 Anyway, it turns out that people feel like they're missing out on the fun since they're not having kids, right? 0.59
00:00:43.300 So you can't have a gender reveal party.
00:00:45.940 Well, I guess, you know, if you're not having a baby.
00:00:48.860 So what do you guess people are doing instead for their reveal parties?
00:00:54.820 Oh, my God.
00:00:55.640 god it's going to be something really sad and scary and i cannot believe you have put me on this 0.54
00:01:02.200 okay it's not going to be something as straightforward as like gender reveal for a
00:01:05.440 pet or something like no that's yeah that's what you would probably guess yeah like or
00:01:08.880 picking a new name for themselves yeah it's going to be something weirder and sadder what is it
00:01:14.520 simone disabilities disability reveal disability reveal please and i fell down this rabbit hole
00:01:25.280 because Olivia Sorbo posted someone's autism reveal party video on X
00:01:30.620 and one of our friends shared it with us, Sarah did.
00:01:33.800 And our friend, as well as many others on X,
00:01:37.080 observed this woman is not acting very autistic as she does her reveal.
00:01:41.340 Okay, what does everyone think?
00:01:43.160 I think you definitely, absolutely, 100% have autism.
00:01:46.100 What do you think?
00:01:47.760 I'm with her.
00:01:48.840 What do you think?
00:01:49.280 I'm also with Elise.
00:01:50.520 Okay, what do you think?
00:01:52.880 I just wear a pink shirt.
00:01:55.280 Okay, let's do it.
00:01:56.180 I'm so scared right now.
00:01:58.080 Okay, guys.
00:01:59.840 What's it going to be?
00:02:01.500 I'm just waiting for there to be pink on the night. 1.00
00:02:05.980 Oh, shit. 0.99
00:02:07.580 Oh, my God. 1.00
00:02:09.060 Autism!
00:02:09.460 Oh! 0.91
00:02:13.380 Because it involves, you know, cutting a cake, typically, to reveal the gender. 0.96
00:02:19.980 And she's not a very neat and tidy or precise cake cutter.
00:02:23.360 and everyone's like dude this is she's she's ADHD this is not autism fake autism yeah like so this
00:02:29.460 guy Americanime which is also an amazing twitter handle noted pointing out the obvious but an
00:02:36.140 autist would cut the cake more perfectly than anyone failing to cut the cake is the reveal 0.56
00:02:40.580 that she's not autistic pick related and he posted architectural drawings of a tank
00:02:45.860 a pick related architectural drawing that is the perfect answer to that
00:02:52.280 related i know and then this another another ex-user at penny big red commented as a mother 0.99
00:02:59.340 of someone who was born with autism she isn't autistic she's just an effing moron why do so 0.99
00:03:05.280 many gen z and millennials want and need to have disabilities they don't actually have 0.99
00:03:09.960 stealing resources medical care and funding from the ones that do
00:03:13.480 why do they want it well because of the medical care resources and because they don't have
00:03:18.900 identities anymore when you tell a person we've talked about this the the concept of laundering 0.64
00:03:22.760 white pride which is if you can't have pride in your ancestry if you can't have pride in your
00:03:28.180 religion if you can't have pride in your national identity what is left to have pride in other than
00:03:33.820 i guess your your sexuality or your disabilities and that is what people do they funnel their
00:03:40.200 nazistic instincts for like a complex towards other people i'm different i'm special into
00:03:47.180 their disabilities and arousal pathways well and what's so sick about having disability reveal
00:03:51.900 parties is you're kind of functionally signaling my disability is my baby it is the thing that i
00:03:58.180 will nurture and care for and yes and i'm like oh my defend with my life when you tell me you're
00:04:04.820 not autistic exactly though dude that's the that's the thing and i this coming from the most
00:04:11.860 autistic youtube family yeah so far three three kids and one wife yeah children who are so
00:04:18.240 sensitive to stimuli that they refuse to eat food because it will get wet in their mouths
00:04:23.240 yeah oh my god it's not it's not fun all the time um that's a very simone thing though i've
00:04:32.680 been living was this for a long time i know i know i trained you i trained you to parent so there was
00:04:38.100 a long time in our relationship like her symptoms have gone down as she's gotten older where she
00:04:43.220 wouldn't touch door handles and so i had to touch all the door handles like she was royalty 0.91
00:04:48.280 and even today if you walk around with simone you'll notice she acts very weird whenever she
00:04:54.940 gets to a door and i think that main reason you got away around it is because you mostly just
00:04:58.980 live in our house now and you don't go out much but you have all these systems for like doing
00:05:03.020 things with your elbows and for all the different types of door handles and everything but like
00:05:08.040 you're somebody who's like uh no arms or something when it comes to door handles well and you see
00:05:12.620 one of our kids doing exactly the same thing which is like weird hand things you know and he has to
00:05:17.540 always have his hands clean it's it's it's super heritable it's insane like this is a genetic thing
00:05:23.460 anyway i when i saw that video on x of course i had to learn more because at first i was like this
00:05:29.620 is too good to be true this this can't like stop i am so desperately glad that these people are 0.86
00:05:35.460 not having kids people are always like oh aren't you mad at dinks and i'm like they're they're 0.77
00:05:40.220 definitely not having kids i your eyes by the way lit up so much at the the sheer patheticness of 0.77
00:05:47.680 these people no malcolm it gets so much better you have no idea okay because i was like this has
00:05:53.220 to be isolated this can't this can't exist as a thing but it super does it's really amazing and
00:06:00.500 there's this whole etiquette around disability reveal parties too so like with baby or gender
00:06:05.740 reveal parties they almost always involve some sort of cake cutting or cake reveal though some
00:06:12.100 have suggested pinatas instead because yes there are articles on gender or sorry disability reveal
00:06:19.500 party ideas because we need those because it's such a thing now and before the reveal when one
00:06:26.360 of the things that often has it happens at these parties is guests are invited to to make predictions
00:06:32.320 or guess what the the guest of honor has what what the subject of my thing the the insufferability of
00:06:41.620 this it's it's great no it gets back and then after after of course after they they reveal who
00:06:46.560 they are by cutting the cake or whatever. Of course they're expected to affirm whatever that
00:06:51.320 is, you know, like, Oh, you know, we're so happy for, you know, like you go. We're so happy.
00:06:57.900 You have a disability. We're so happy for your disability. Yeah. They get celebrated. They get
00:07:03.080 all the attention, you know, this is like their accolades. And then you also, just in case you're,
00:07:08.380 you're planning your party now, you don't need to hand make everything. You can actually get
00:07:12.860 autism cupcake toppers at walmart.com and also there's there's multiple types you can get and
00:07:18.720 you can buy autism awareness party favors from oriental trading company which by the way are
00:07:23.340 54.99 which is insane because i remember oriental trading from my childhood being like super cheap
00:07:30.080 it was like oh my god how can i get this many party favors for 9.99 so i don't know what happened to
00:07:36.200 them like private equity i'm guessing right so if you go to tiktok you will find that there have
00:07:43.500 been a bunch posted and i i could really watch them for hours i almost did this morning i just
00:07:49.020 i couldn't look away at the end of this video you were talking about the tubes and this concept of
00:07:55.620 like these tubes that people go through i'll just put the clip here because it was such an
00:07:59.820 interesting conversation okay i this just happened i am kind of behind on like monitoring things i
00:08:05.660 but every day I check trending items on X and like headlines and Google trends and prediction
00:08:13.060 markets. And something that was trending on X was this discussion of someone's AI video
00:08:20.360 in which they depict this dystopian future city where only the rich people can live. But there's
00:08:29.860 one way you can get in and it's if you survive the tubes and it depicts these people struggling
00:08:37.980 through snow and ice and fighting off bears or evading grizzly bears inside these thick large
00:08:45.620 glass tubes that that snake through this modern city so like little girls are walking by and like
00:08:51.420 pressing their faces up against the glass as men are fighting for their lives and attempting to get
00:08:55.820 through that
00:09:25.820 We'll be right back.
00:09:55.820 We'll be right back.
00:10:25.800 sounds cool as hell that is so yeah octavian's looking at that and he's like where's that and
00:10:32.040 i'm like that's that's a city with you know tubes and he's like i want to go and i'm like into the
00:10:37.620 city or inside the tubes and just like the tubes and i'm like well you understand that a lot of
00:10:42.320 people die in the tubes and he's like well yeah but what what do you get if you win and i explained
00:10:48.840 to him well then you get to live in the city that's a very expensive city only for rich people
00:10:53.260 and he's like okay well how much does it cost to live in like to get into the city I'm like well
00:10:58.780 probably like billions of dollars and he said and how much does it cost to get in the tubes and I
00:11:03.860 say it's free it's free to go in the tubes but you might die but if you if you get through you're in
00:11:08.580 and he's like the tubes that's a good deal that's a good deal so not only did he love the idea
00:11:18.360 that's a good deal he was like look even if i had a million dollars
00:11:24.020 i'm going in the tubes and it's just so striking to me that there's like this this subset of of
00:11:33.280 society that sees the tubes and they're like it's so unfair poor people are like dystopia and there
00:11:39.640 are other people who are like you you react to the tubes yeah no that's a masculine way to react
00:11:45.020 actually as sort of a medical wonder that like which group do you think ends up with all the
00:11:49.260 money malcolm the the the men the yeah no the well the ones who are like dude i'm going for the tubes
00:11:59.000 well so what's what's funny is that this is basically society though like this is capitalism
00:12:06.100 the tubes are just capitalism right like i know i know you work really hard and everybody gets to
00:12:11.740 laugh at you while you're working, which I need to do more of. I need to watch more videos of
00:12:15.780 people failing at life. That is what Caleb, Caleb Hammer is the tube. Oh my God. That's actually
00:12:22.360 really funny. Okay. Because Romy, as in who radicalized us against abortion, Romy, who has
00:12:28.500 great takes on X. I love following her. She, she was like, look, rich people don't like looking at 0.71
00:12:34.740 poor people. It's always like being rich has always been about separating yourself from the
00:12:38.560 lives of poor people this would never happen like the tubes would never exist but you're totally
00:12:42.480 right the tubes exist Romy and we love the tubes and it's called financial audit hosted by Caleb
00:12:48.160 you gotta respond to that tweet of hers by the way also the person who said that leaflet saying
00:12:52.860 wasn't working on Firefox did that fix it in so you can let them know awesome but I feel like this
00:12:57.520 is your the tubes this is you're right this is a hundred percent you're watching these people
00:13:06.180 getting mauled by the bear that is the their own psychology and laughing and laughing and being like
00:13:13.600 oh god you're right no i'm the worst this is horrible but okay so obviously that there there
00:13:23.980 are a lot of these i love them you should go check them out i link them in the show notes i link
00:13:27.400 everything in the show notes on sub second patreon and many are coming out in these parties as two
00:13:34.040 things or like multiple things. So like a big, a super common one I discovered is autistic plus
00:13:40.340 ADHD, which they're calling ADHD. And then some get a little more complex with things like color
00:13:48.480 codes. At one party, guests were instructed to go into the bathroom and look at like a color-coded,
00:13:56.360 like color, like colors, like, you know, red sticker, green sticker, yellow sticker on a
00:14:00.240 little card that listed different conditions like anxiety depression bpd adhd complex ptsd
00:14:06.800 and then they're supposed to put their guesses on their shirt and then they would they went out
00:14:12.220 and then finally there was a big reveal and everyone got to see how like correct they were
00:14:16.140 actually malcolm i have to send you this hold on i've got i'll tell you exactly what i would do 0.80
00:14:21.700 okay i'd go in the restroom i'd i'd take a blank color code card and just like retarded on it 0.98
00:14:27.740 and then come out like you're retarded aren't you you're retarded you gotta watch this watch 0.98
00:14:34.120 watch it i just sent you on what's up okay okay okay okay hi i'm ali this is my mental illness 0.99
00:14:40.600 neuropsych eval gender reveal party this is our color code so i'm having people guess
00:14:46.480 what my diagnoses are so yeah hi i'm yesenia and i think ali has bpd anxiety
00:14:57.460 complex PTSD, ADHD, and depression. Hi, I'm Hannah. I'm the Funkle, and I think Allie's
00:15:07.360 real fucked up in the brain. Specifically, I think she has ADHD, OCD, BPD, anxiety, 1.00
00:15:17.300 depression, and complex PTSD.
00:15:23.400 I'm Chris, and I think they threw the whole book at her.
00:15:27.460 Hi, I'm Mary, and I think that Allie has BPD, anxiety, complex PTSD, and ADHD.
00:15:38.460 Hi, I'm Sophia, and I think Allie has ADHD, anxiety, depression, complex PTSD, and BPD.
00:15:46.460 Okay, I'm Allie, and these are my actual results, so if you had anxiety, you are correct!
00:15:56.460 if you had bpd you were also correct
00:16:01.480 if you had adhd also correct
00:16:06.800 and finally if you put complex ptsd you got it right
00:16:12.780 it feels like such an insult that you know they're like i mean i i think if if you say someone has
00:16:24.640 borderline personality disorder like you kind of think that is not one of the good ones that's 0.86
00:16:29.900 like being retarded like no it's like it's i always well i i feel like see you next tuesday 0.94
00:16:35.540 is like the word that that is what you are like you're just a terrible person that's like 0.92
00:16:40.260 you're honestly no it's it's being a medically medically it's you next tuesday yeah yeah you've 0.94
00:16:46.580 been yeah like you've confirmed by trained psychologists it's a it's yeah you're a you're 1.00
00:16:52.140 a complete jerk a terrible person you act in a way that is just pointlessly cruel to other people 1.00
00:16:57.900 yeah yeah for your own amusement complex ptsd like what what does it even mean like you don't 1.00
00:17:03.640 really have it but we're gonna give it to you but i also love the pride they have in how many they
00:17:08.160 have oh yeah all the dots all the dots it can't just be one and you've got to affirm them and be
00:17:13.780 i have depression yay you know like what nobody wants depression that's not like a i guess like
00:17:23.000 oh my life is extra hard and what's really funny about all of this if you do one of these you come
00:17:28.240 out and it's just a blank card actually no no no so so malcolm yes there's this one so yeah because
00:17:33.900 parents are hosting these for their young kids even for like just adhd like i found a video where
00:17:39.180 one mother has her son cut a cake and he has adhd like dude no sorry that's called being a boy in
00:17:44.960 our modern age i i challenge you to find a single male child in a in an elementary school now who
00:17:52.300 doesn't have adhd like for real no i am and just for people coming at this and they're like oh you
00:17:58.080 guys are being so mean as neurotypical people like in terms of diagnoses i'm like a collect
00:18:04.280 the whole set right like yeah collect the whole set they don't affect me you don't hear about them 0.99
00:18:10.380 on the show because they are not relevant everyone just has slightly different different
00:18:17.360 abilities you know like it's just you know hey that's that's that's peter he's like that you
00:18:22.220 know that's everything i've ever been diagnosed with so let's let's go through everything
00:18:26.420 oh my god no we should have a little oh disability reveal party for you okay i'm gonna guess
00:18:33.860 okay you know them all i know so add adhd bipolar what's the one where you read things backwards
00:18:43.040 graphia oh no dyslexia dyslexia dysgraphia dysgraphia and i i think those are all the
00:18:52.320 main ones that i'm but like you don't actually have bipolar your mom just didn't like the way 0.98
00:18:56.880 you reacted to things when you were a kid so she like she's just like i'm not gonna spank his butt 0.96
00:19:01.460 I'm gonna spank his brain for I don't think I had 80 I actually have a great attention span 0.86
00:19:07.060 yeah you actually really do yeah so I I but I liked having that because it allowed me to get 0.92
00:19:11.760 amphetamines as a child which are very useful for test taking I'm gonna be honest they do help me
00:19:18.420 focus even more for studying and testing yeah which is true extremely useful but I haven't
00:19:24.720 taken one in a decade at least yeah because you don't have anyone who will prescribe it for you
00:19:31.180 know because like you don't actually have a real diagnosis no i've got all the old ones
00:19:34.580 you still yeah i doubt they still work oh they would still work you you have them somewhere yeah
00:19:40.460 i've taken old old ones of those pills from like decades ago and they still work that's by the way
00:19:46.460 my my amphetamine of choice in that category is ritalin because i i would strongly push people
00:19:51.760 away from taking what's the other one that a lot of people took adderall adderall yeah adderall is
00:19:57.220 just riddling cut with stuff that makes it more addictive and fun no no the malcolm you're you're
00:20:02.460 behind the times it's all about vivence these days everyone's on vivence the reason why i liked
00:20:07.280 riddling so much is it wasn't it like just felt bad to take yeah so yeah then you found naltrux
00:20:12.740 out in your you just love taking things that make you feel horrible the the drugs that like i get
00:20:18.160 super into are always the ones that i know i feel worse when i'm on yeah so that i don't ever feel
00:20:25.340 a temptation like if i ever take something and i'm like oh i kind of like that i i would never
00:20:29.760 touch it again i'd be like yeah i i've already got alcohol we already got one thing we don't need
00:20:34.260 anything else okay i got i got enough things to deal with over here yeah you're taking men yeah
00:20:39.820 but the the point being although i will say out of all of those that i have the one that actually
00:20:44.720 like is hugely affected in my daily life is dysgraphia like i recently had to write something
00:20:50.040 at a doctor and they were like do you want me to write for you like they offered to write for you
00:20:56.180 yeah basically it means i can't i can't uh handwrite yeah when he does it looks like a
00:21:02.160 kindergartner first grader handwriting things and it's actually really slow yeah it's really sweet
00:21:09.500 but now this is why we have keywords he was ai this is the thing when people want to attack me
00:21:14.360 for like my artistic skills or ai or whatever and it's like bro i have a disability bro i'm disabled
00:21:19.840 yeah i use ai to overcome my disability was writing things pretty
00:21:25.040 yeah yeah i can definitely of all those things that your mom like slapped on you when you're a
00:21:32.240 kid dysgraphia that one that wouldn't be real that wouldn't be super real anyway though there
00:21:37.560 was one dad face blindness i forgot about that oh my god right yes and tourette's i forgot about
00:21:42.620 that one too oh my god yes the tourette's no the tourette's is real but it's a weird form of it
00:21:48.120 it's super weird and then the the face blindness like it makes conferences so awkward did not cook
00:21:56.800 right there what your mom was drinking like how much a ton my mom said she drank i think it was
00:22:01.900 at least a bottle of wine a day a bottle so bottle a day keeps the blues away i i don't have fetal
00:22:09.200 alcohol syndrome because you can see that on the face yeah so it's it's well also if i had fetal
00:22:14.860 alcohol syndrome i doubt i would have gotten top grades at saint andrews and stanford business
00:22:19.480 school you don't know how top your grades could have been malcolm i mean yeah how how nerfed am
00:22:24.980 i right you know you've not seen your final form it's so true but yeah you don't have that face
00:22:31.840 and so yeah i mean my mom drank too because she didn't know she was pregnant until she had her
00:22:35.820 second trimester like we're all fine guys my family just drinks an astonishing amount yeah
00:22:41.220 that's the thing is i think that certain certain people are just born to be pickled and that's some
00:22:46.360 that's us anyway though but back to back to these amazing tiktoks that i found i found one
00:22:51.640 to your point where this dad hosted a party for his kid and he filmed it for tiktok did the whole
00:22:59.040 thing ask each family member to say like what they thought the son had and then they cut the
00:23:04.400 cake open and he doesn't have anything oh negative
00:23:11.880 everybody shook it look at kitty so you're just quirky oh no it's negative and his dad's just so
00:23:23.760 pleased with himself i feel like that was a really good like push get back against the trend of like 0.99
00:23:27.840 no you idiot like stop this is really stupid you're fine oh and i will also say more than all 0.99
00:23:34.560 the others the one that always gets me is when people have something as minor as dyslexia and 1.00
00:23:38.880 they act like it's some major downside in their life oh yeah dyslexia is you i i would say i have
00:23:45.820 pretty severe dyslexia and it just in terms of like other things you can have it just doesn't
00:23:51.540 come close to impacting my daily life the i mean so i think maybe why it becomes so salient for
00:23:57.220 people because I'm experiencing this with one of our dyslexic kids is it just makes learning to
00:24:03.540 read such a drag for them because yeah they're like I'm asking him to like read off like well
00:24:11.220 okay let's sound out the word together and then like the letters come out you know because I'm
00:24:15.380 like well just tell me the letters in the word because I'm like cleaning something always and
00:24:19.180 you know he's telling me you know what's this word and you know that I can it's like jumbled
00:24:23.680 up letters and i'm like what are you looking at and i look at the letter and it's you know it's
00:24:28.060 like you know stroller or something but he's you know it's like s-t-r-o you know but one of the
00:24:34.640 ones that would affect you very severely and this is the thing i never hear people talk about the
00:24:40.160 ones that actually have a big negative effect in your life like dysgraphia i've never heard anyone
00:24:44.240 else complain about dysgraphia i've never heard anyone identify as dysgraphic i've never heard
00:24:47.600 for like every doctor ever it's i don't know there's a mystery the other one is well no for
00:24:54.000 doctors it's just a style because they write quickly it's not like i've never heard a doctor
00:24:58.180 and then the one that actually does affect you dysgraphia is one that actually does affect you
00:25:02.260 and face blindness i never hear anyone complain about face blindness as being a major thing
00:25:06.120 it has such a big effect on my daily people make a lot of like comics about it i think people just
00:25:10.700 think it's funny when like their friend like just never recognizes yeah like recently like we were
00:25:17.580 on a one of my classmates shows and they were like oh somebody at school dressed up at you and
00:25:21.740 somebody said oh was it this one kid i go oh no no he wasn't black i didn't remember that and they
00:25:26.560 thought that that was me being racist and it's like no actually i can i can tell people's ethnicities
00:25:31.380 apart i just can't tell them apart within an ethnic group yeah like imagine like a barbie or
00:25:37.860 ken doll but just with no face on it so you can like work out the shape of them maybe yeah like
00:25:42.860 a lot of people don't really get facebook it's not that i can't remember people and personalities
00:25:46.040 if somebody at school has a mohawk i'll always remember mohawk guy yeah or if they always dress
00:25:50.600 the same way or if they have some oh my god do you think this is why because i have mild face
00:25:56.680 blindness do you think this is why we find uniforms so appealing and we're like well it's
00:26:00.700 one of the reasons why i started wearing a uniform yeah yeah because then we were like i feel this for
00:26:05.540 other people can we just like break this why the heck is everyone out there like a psycho changing
00:26:11.600 their clothing every day right like yeah man one outfit man you don't need one outfit yeah
00:26:17.940 my clothing like literally only changes was how hot the house is yeah which you'll see not even
00:26:23.980 that sometimes it'll start going back to me wearing my medieval outfit again once it gets
00:26:28.240 but it's just too hot i can't it's too hot yeah i get it it's also why on the leaflet streams people
00:26:33.440 actually might have a question for this why do i take off my glasses on the leaflet streams
00:26:37.000 it's because my face gets too sweaty if i talk for like 10 hours in the glasses
00:26:41.100 oh my god 10 hours people do not know how long 10 hours of speech is yeah no 10 hours stand-up
00:26:49.920 routine mad respect for streamers who go along anyway though back to these these disability
00:26:55.340 reveal parties they can be extremely sad like one thing that's really apparent across these
00:27:01.780 tiktok videos is the extent to which those who are having these parties both really really really
00:27:07.800 want attention and adulation but are also like full of self-hatred and not in like an affirming
00:27:15.500 way like i love myself for this so this one woman hosted a disability reveal party for her friends
00:27:21.220 where she announced her autism and adhd and said she's getting tested for ocd next adding
00:27:27.120 my brain is bad and i'm really sad about it to be honest so if you want to give me a hug i'd
00:27:33.000 really appreciate it and I don't know what to think about it I'm so grateful that I had so many
00:27:55.500 friends to come out and support me last night being neurodivergent can be incredibly frustrating
00:28:00.100 and incredibly lonely. And I'm very blessed to have so many people in my life who love me so
00:28:06.280 much and who are happy to support me while I navigate this new diagnosis. If you are also
00:28:11.840 on ADHD and you have any suggestions on books to read or resources to look into while I get to know
00:28:19.340 my brain a little bit better, I would really appreciate it. And I love you too. Be gay, do crime.
00:28:24.620 It's just like my brain is bad. Like my brain is bad. What autism is this one that she? Yeah, 1.00
00:28:29.780 she says she has autism and adhd and then she's getting tested for ocd and my brain is bad like
00:28:36.800 dude no your brain is different just deal with it like it's these people want excuses for
00:28:43.820 themselves so hard right like yeah i you and i have been very successful both of us in in our
00:28:50.440 academic lives and in our professional lives despite all of this and it just like doesn't
00:28:54.740 come up your autism is just like not like we find ways to work around it yeah okay don't don't watch
00:29:02.760 this yet I just sent you my brain is bad video just in case you wanted to watch it later but I
00:29:06.940 do want you to watch the one I just I just sent you most recently don't watch it yet because okay
00:29:11.720 so like this I think is my favorite one of all of them and and this is where I just get kind of
00:29:16.460 confused by some of them because there's this it's unhinged this I think it's supposed to be funny
00:29:23.140 because like the people participate so the poster's friends make guesses in this video about
00:29:28.120 her disability that are jokes you know they're like you know i'm so-and-so's daughter and it's
00:29:34.000 like a grown man like you know they're joking about who they are yeah but then they're like
00:29:38.640 guesses about her like that she has bpd fetal alcohol syndrome schizophrenia one woman says
00:29:44.880 a festering hemorrhoid that has made her way to the endocrine system her nervous system and it
00:29:49.860 it's given her fierce anxiety and then at the end when she reveals her disability which is just
00:29:55.280 ADHD they all end up start cheering like they're like Adderall Adderall and I don't know I kind of
00:30:03.320 I kind of like her like I kind of dig it but at the same time her friends being like yeah girl
00:30:07.660 you got fetal alcohol syndrome no what's funny in these is that the friends seem to be taking
00:30:13.160 sort of digs at their friend throughout these yes I don't know these are not friend groups that
00:30:18.900 really like each other that much well and also like why are you friends with this person like
00:30:23.920 they sound unhinged and toxic and anyway like see what these people are saying like it's said with
00:30:29.820 love and like joking but i i don't know what to make of it so watch it i'm her pawpaw and i think 0.99
00:30:39.700 that she has bpd i'm her secret lesbian lover and i think she's got the gay sickness oh i'm her 0.97
00:30:48.280 and I think she got multiple personality disorder. 0.99
00:30:50.280 I'm the auntie, and I think we've got a touch of the tism.
00:30:55.280 Hi, I'm her bubba, and I think she has a little bit of schizophrenia.
00:31:00.280 I'm Sophia, small group leader, and I think she has fetal alcohol syndrome.
00:31:05.280 I'm her conversion therapist, and I think she needs to get right.
00:31:10.280 I'm her ma, and I think she got don't make me drink alone disorder.
00:31:15.280 I'm your daughter, and I think you might be a drinking problem. 0.91
00:31:19.720 I'm her cheetah, and I think she has schizophrenia. 0.95
00:31:25.000 I am so sister, auntie, niece, cousin, 0.71
00:31:28.860 and I believe that she has a festering hemorrhoid
00:31:33.100 that has made her way to the endocrine system,
00:31:38.020 the nervous system, and it has given her fierce anxiety.
00:31:45.280 Is it a boy or a girl?
00:31:46.620 What is it?
00:31:47.520 Wondering.
00:31:49.160 It's ADHD!
00:31:50.260 Yay!
00:32:01.920 Adderall, Adderall, Adderall, Adderall.
00:32:07.900 okay what i love is the one guy who's clearly just being honest and says it very differently
00:32:16.760 from everyone else he's like she has a drinking problem you know everyone else is like giving
00:32:22.900 their cutesy little answer yeah i think she needs conversion therapy you can tell from some of the
00:32:27.120 other answers she probably does actually have alcoholism yeah i hope no i would love to do 0.99
00:32:34.580 one of these which other cake for that for the alcoholism one and uh turn it into like an
00:32:40.960 intervention an intervention oh my god be like you have alcoholism yeah this is like the one
00:32:47.980 where i'm like this is a fun party like that in contrast to the like my my my brain is bad
00:32:54.640 where like her friends are just like sitting there looking uncomfortable with the costco hot dogs
00:32:59.860 she bought them this let's look like it's a fun party look at least people you know before they
00:33:05.780 go sober like can be pretty fun so it's okay but i again i could watch these forever but here's the
00:33:13.420 dark side of disability reveal parties so obviously not everyone's super thrilled about
00:33:19.340 these there's one poster on our autism on reddit who wrote and i'm just going to read part of what
00:33:26.540 they said they said i'm not sure if this is the right place to put this but i was looking for
00:33:30.040 thoughts so my psychiatrist has me diagnosed with autism but i already had an evaluation scheduled
00:33:35.280 and she recommend doing that as well so i'm hesitant to say that i have autism but i would
00:33:40.540 be surprised if i didn't at this point so first off this is someone who like is very cautious
00:33:45.160 about being diagnosed they're not like internet diagnosed like they already have one person yeah 0.98
00:33:49.480 what do they call this in the trans community a true scum true scum so anyway they continue 0.96
00:33:54.960 you my evaluation is on tuesday i was thinking to my sister or i was talking to my sister today and 1.00
00:33:59.960 she shared that she saw a tiktok where someone did an evaluation and then their friend got the
00:34:04.700 results and did like an autism reveal party like a gender reveal thing where if they cut into the
00:34:10.760 cake and it's colorful then they have autism she said she thought it could be nice to do that and
00:34:15.440 celebrate it i don't like this i told her i didn't know if it was something worth celebrating because
00:34:21.060 of how much it affects me. She seemed disappointed and said it could be. I said I would know already
00:34:26.560 and she said we could set it up where she found out first to make it happen. I don't get it and
00:34:34.000 I'm not sure if I'm weird or wrong about this but it makes me really uncomfortable. This is a thing
00:34:39.580 that assuming I do have it has greatly affected me in negative ways my whole life. It's something
00:34:44.660 I'm struggling with and has caused issues even between her and me. I don't like surprises. I hate
00:34:49.520 having to mask and react as expected to everything while I'm under pressure. This is a very personal
00:34:54.800 thing for me and I'm struggling with how I to feel about it to begin with. I also want to get
00:34:59.460 this information first and not have my family know before me. Like diagnosis is about me. I
00:35:04.860 want to go to my appointment where I get my results and be able to talk about it, not have
00:35:09.280 my sister go instead or something. I don't know how that would work anyway. I don't know if I'm
00:35:14.220 reaching or thinking about this wrong. Like maybe I should do what she wants to make her happy, but
00:35:18.740 i hate this idea it feels really insensitive and then i cut it short and basically everyone in
00:35:23.880 that thread is like no your sister's psychotic don't do this like this sounds horrible and if
00:35:29.240 you know what's funny is both of these people have psychologically like terrible ways of thinking
00:35:34.240 about this yes this person is like all whiny about it like oh it's been my struggle my entire
00:35:38.960 like and the sister who's like make it your new thing done yeah but it also if you are autistic
00:35:46.840 do you like parties like probably not like do you want to be surrounded by yelling people
00:35:53.200 who are all paying attention to you like probably not you know it's it's sensory overload like it's
00:36:00.880 not fun you're masking to try to make everyone happy at the party like it's super freaking
00:36:05.260 stressful so especially for autism I mean like I could get there I like your idea of an alcoholism
00:36:12.320 reveal party that sounds super fun like the last hurrah but yeah this this is horrible the other
00:36:20.100 issue that i mean just the way our society and this is one of the the things that i hope people
00:36:24.600 take away the most from this podcast is your if you have any sort of like mental disability or
00:36:29.540 anything like that like it is deeply psychologically harmful to take it in either of these directions
00:36:35.580 yeah right like yeah it's it's like any mental disability you have should be no different from
00:36:41.980 to you than like your skin color right like it's it's just a thing it's it's a it's a part of who
00:36:47.560 you are it's a part of how you think it's a part of how you relate to reality but it doesn't matter
00:36:52.620 other than that and this is this is how i mean a lot of people relate to this stuff you know a lot
00:36:57.200 of like you know you know blind people or or people who are bound to a wheelchair or people
00:37:01.400 who are whatever the ones who are like psychologically healthfully relating to it
00:37:04.920 just like it's like whatever it's just part of who i am it's like you know in the same way that
00:37:08.480 you're you're white or you're x tall or you're whatever and i just make it work right like
00:37:13.120 because you don't have a choice but to just make it work yeah you're dealt a hand and you're also
00:37:16.780 dealt a hand in terms of you know your religious background your ethnic background the geography
00:37:22.300 into which you're born the time into which you're born your parents how cool or horrible they are
00:37:28.320 your siblings how much money your family has the education you've access like there's all these
00:37:33.600 things you can't you just have to like look at your hand and do the best you can with it you don't
00:37:38.640 get to choose and especially i realized with you know autism as we've like raised our kids and
00:37:43.260 things like slodexia and adhd you can't this is super genetic like you you really can't you did
00:37:52.380 this isn't your fault this is something that you inherited in in your genes it just that's how it
00:37:58.300 is again i think the things that you inherit just are not really meaningfully because you don't
00:38:03.500 you don't choose them something that you don't choose it's like the least meaningful part of
00:38:07.120 who you are yeah right but how you choose to deal with it is meaningful and to deal with it is like
00:38:12.640 well this means i don't have to do anything in my entire life because i'm disabled is
00:38:17.500 the complete worst thing you could possibly do
00:38:19.880 hello hello you all right now um do you need help i'm disabled 0.86
00:38:41.340 oh my god can we get disability money what do you mean why because you're full of all the 0.78
00:38:49.360 disabled people money or something? So actually, yes. No, not really. So interest-free investment 0.99
00:38:55.760 is basically the best option we have because I am, for example, actually diagnosed with autism,
00:39:00.780 which it can be like, I guess, legally construed as a disability, sorry, debilitating mental
00:39:07.680 illness. And cause I can't open doors. I have a PA able account and our autistic kids who are
00:39:13.380 diagnosed to do as well, which means only the kids who are diagnosed. And that is an account 0.86
00:39:17.220 that is meant for disabled people is like sort of a life support and saving account that like with
00:39:23.480 retirement accounts the the interest on it isn't taxed so it can you know it's it's like a tax
00:39:29.800 advantaged savings account basically and it can only be spent on certain things or it can be spent
00:39:33.980 on it can only be yeah it has to be spent on on but it can you you can spend it on like housing
00:39:38.300 so like you could spend it on like your property taxes or your rent functionally anything yeah like 0.86
00:39:43.500 food yeah like that's crazy autistic people get to invest without paying taxes well no no so there's 0.95
00:39:48.700 a limit i think you can only put in twenty thousand dollars a year so you can max you can try to max 1.00
00:39:52.580 out that account every year i've maxed out what we can put in for our kids the the two that are
00:39:58.860 actually diagnosed and so there are advantages like that one hundred percent and that's i think
00:40:03.300 why a lot of people get these diagnoses but i think a lot of them just being wild loophole that
00:40:08.520 is a wild loophole yeah you want to get diagnosed with something you go ahead malcolm i
00:40:16.540 yeah i've never i've never been to have a touch of the tism you don't yeah
00:40:21.720 we'll have to figure something else out for you we'll figure out what qualifies you for
00:40:28.000 tax-advantaged able accounts god okay but the other issue is that of course this this makes
00:40:34.660 a disability aspirational to those who do not have disabilities. Then there's this one Redditor
00:40:40.800 in Autism and Women who posted about her autism reveal party saying, hi, officially diagnosed
00:40:47.180 yesterday at 26 years old. I hosted an autism reveal party and thought the community would
00:40:53.940 appreciate it. My friends dressed up as my special interests and I served all of my favorite foods.
00:40:59.260 i made everyone cupcakes and told them it was vanilla neurotypical funfetti neuro spicy my
00:41:05.560 name is amanda and for the first time i have autism heart emoji cupcake emoji and then she
00:41:12.620 posted photos of her eating her autism cupcakes on her granite kitchen counter and her autism
00:41:21.200 infinity symbol themed charcuterie board and her her sweatshirt is embroidered with the word
00:41:27.340 overestimated i'm not sure what she's signaling with that but i don't know but so the top-footed
00:41:34.500 comment on her post is oh my god this is absolutely precious i would give anything for a diagnosis
00:41:40.360 it would be so validating congratulations i am truly happy for you i would give anything for a
00:41:46.460 these people yeah and that's that's what makes me like oh you are who you are yeah like the day well
00:41:54.860 I mean, at the same time, I just told you how, like, a diagnosis can give you tax-advantaged accounts.
00:42:00.280 True, yeah.
00:42:02.400 I don't know, man.
00:42:04.060 But, like, to have a party about it.
00:42:06.040 Yeah, I guess if someone's like, gosh, I mean, I max out my Roth IRA every year.
00:42:12.240 And I max out my HSA account.
00:42:15.020 And I still have excess money I want to save.
00:42:17.480 If only I had a PA ABLE account or, like, an ABLE account, then I could save even more with tax-advantaged accounts.
00:42:24.860 benefits but whatever it's weird I'm delighted by the fact that there's a huge party format that
00:42:32.260 I didn't know about that I can now watch videos about and yes this is my tubes along with Kale
00:42:38.440 Hammer's show which I freaking love this is your tubes I love it I love that the we're watching
00:42:44.260 the tubes we're watching their brains get mauled it is freaking hilarious it is fantastic it is
00:42:52.680 so joyous you know so many people think that like this reminds me of like what i loved to do back
00:42:59.100 in the day when i you know could have fun on the internet and and but it's like this and this sort
00:43:02.620 of feels like that to me like you don't have fun on the internet watching your mawaz with
00:43:07.120 i like my i like my waz i i like my coding but you know there's no like fat hate or tumblr in
00:43:13.520 action anymore right like you'd go to tumblr in action and you find out some new way that
00:43:19.560 progressives are being crazy and i love this like even back when i considered myself a democrat
00:43:24.120 right like i was i was like proto i was an egg for becoming a far right chud or whatever 0.94
00:43:31.500 um then i was laughing at people who were too fat to get their fmri and they had to go to the
00:43:37.880 zoo and somebody found that and they posted that in a yahoo news article about me that my account
00:43:42.620 had laughed at people and when i read that out of the blue because i didn't know that you post i
00:43:47.160 don't know what you post on a reddit i don't know i don't know i mean they must have gone deep but
00:43:50.980 yeah i mean when i read that i laughed out loud because it was so funny but these sites were so 0.58
00:43:57.040 good at tracking these random losers online like reagan christian the fat fat healthy activist 0.96
00:44:04.940 right like that being being fat and she was a hate activist healthy and she was so fun to follow 0.99
00:44:10.500 because it's not like she had like a big following or something but she just repeatedly would say 0.52
00:44:16.400 she was going to do things like marathons and then very blatantly cheat in the marathon like
00:44:22.080 it was very obvious given like the way the time stamps because they'd like do investigations 0.99
00:44:25.720 she'd gotten in a car and driven most of the marathon oh dear oh dear just like over and 0.86
00:44:31.600 or or she wouldn't show up if there was like monitoring that day or she'd you know randomly
00:44:36.560 and it was always just deflection about the state of things right and i don't know i don't know what
00:44:42.980 happened so many of the people we used to follow died in fact a lot died and then a lot stopped
00:44:49.060 posting because they discovered peptides so that really peptides really fucked up the
00:44:56.620 community right because all the influencers with the money started to be like well as soon as there
00:45:02.240 was a cure for fat we now that i can lose weight and without self-control yeah i don't know i mean
00:45:10.780 i don't want to die young um but yeah very that that just used to be like a thing on the internet
00:45:19.820 looking at the glass of like the i enjoyed the craziness of tumblr in fact i still like strange
00:45:25.620 aeons is basically a channel that goes through old crazy stuff that happened on oh my gosh yeah
00:45:29.720 a fantastic channel by the way if you like those sorts of stories but she still considers herself
00:45:34.180 like part of that community she hasn't like yeah had had the reflection of like wait is the toxicity
00:45:40.260 of this community did it go all the way to my life like did i never emerge from the muck like
00:45:47.140 she seems to be doing well you know she is a committed partner they have their gremlin cats 0.66
00:45:52.820 what do they call them whatever she's got her she's in a committed gay relationship with a 0.93
00:45:59.500 bunch of cats she'll become a crazy cat lady she only has one cat give her time which is 0.95
00:46:06.640 living the life man about your cozy earth sheets you can get in that in that world right i'm happy
00:46:12.420 i'm very happy for them she's also a very good creator i think she's a fantastic her videos are
00:46:18.600 well done in terms of pacing delivery interjections she does she talks at the right speed so it
00:46:25.920 doesn't feel like she's wasting my time yeah she doesn't fill up with like random nonsense
00:46:29.780 and she's a fun person like her personality like even if she was talking about something super
00:46:34.180 boring she'd still be fun to listen to and then she just finds the weirdest stuff like the guy in
00:46:39.360 the bathroom remodeling oh i found those recent ones less interesting i like her older like the
00:46:45.200 rabio i can listen to her talking about paint drying okay it's fine go search the one on the
00:46:50.220 rabio sexual phenomenon on tumblr where people thought i've watched all of her videos rabies
00:46:54.740 was a sexuality and you had to just feel it a little and people had to explain to them that
00:47:00.180 it's like the most horrible way to die do not go out and bug catch rabies you know people with
00:47:06.540 aids they're like bro like aids is bad but like rabies you're gonna go out in the woods and get
00:47:13.280 bitten by a raccoon so good so good i love i love the tubes i just love it and i love the tubes 0.99
00:47:22.180 when they just completely die like idiots and not passing on your genes is fundamentally dying so 0.98
00:47:28.720 like that's what we're watching here right oh my god we are watching the tubes these are the 0.99
00:47:33.400 darwinistic tubes this is this is the darwin awards of the tubes when we when we see anita
00:47:39.840 sarkeesian get married to herself that's the tubes we're watching we're like wow that one
00:47:44.920 was a real psycho watching that go down oh god well and now that ai video hits super different
00:47:52.800 i you know well actually i was the tubes i feel like the hunger games i'm the guy there there's
00:47:59.180 like little places that you can like attach things like buying hornets to like release
00:48:03.940 into the tube just to make it more hilarious watch them run around
00:48:08.400 this is horrible this is horrible oh thank you for sharing this with me you have made my life
00:48:16.540 better on two fronts the tubes and and people dying in the tubes you're so welcome i've been
00:48:22.660 looking forward to this all day this is the moment sarah sent us that link i was like no we have to
00:48:28.460 do this we have to do this this is this is fantastic this is fantastic and for all of you
00:48:33.940 who are watching this your disabilities do not king matter i don't care if you are a little person
00:48:39.360 i don't care if they're if you're blind i don't care if you're just like we have a blind listener
00:48:44.780 hi i i'm waving i love it you're waving at the one
00:48:51.600 sorry respect sir yeah we're shout out actually now that i'm just thinking about it ai must be
00:49:01.000 such a game changer for blind people it is because it's gonna really change the like if i was blind
00:49:07.440 with ai i'd just constantly be building tech to make it like cool stuff that i wasn't able to do
00:49:11.860 before yeah yeah because ai vision is is getting so good i what i was just thinking about it's like
00:49:17.560 oh how would i handle the youtube ui if i was blind like how would how would a blind person
00:49:21.500 discover our podcast and then it's like oh i can build such a cool system with ai to to automate
00:49:26.000 all of that and to make that that's it's pretty but yeah the point being is like none of this
00:49:30.500 stuff matters to who you are right like no it only matters insofar as you have to look at your hand
00:49:34.820 to decide your next move smartly and your next move isn't give up so that's it that's it you
00:49:41.620 know yeah we we had a you know this reporter asking me what what are you gonna do of this
00:49:48.160 next implantation doesn't take and i was like i'm gonna try again like what do you mean what
00:49:54.680 am i gonna do like that all that's all you can do in life yeah i know like genuinely people are
00:49:59.580 like why why don't you give up i don't why do we give up yeah i'll give up sure that's a very
00:50:07.000 malcolm thing to do yeah like oh sorry this is hard i'm not gonna do it anymore you know
00:50:15.160 i haven't done that with i know like literally that's like our personality we take on something
00:50:20.620 that's like pointlessly hard like the rfab project or like the leaflet streams or like doing this
00:50:25.780 podcast every day of the week but we're just like no i'm gonna i'm gonna make it work i'm gonna make
00:50:29.620 it work and that like doubles the chance that we do it yeah man that's true that's true and i think
00:50:34.940 that's that's actually super common across the life stories of the people who listen to this
00:50:38.620 podcast too whenever we learn more about them it's like oh these are the people who choose the hard
00:50:42.800 thing these are the people who enter the tubes for fun because they're like you know what fun
00:50:46.580 right it's a good deal it's a good deal plus it'll be fun i i i you know go into the tubes in a way
00:50:52.840 that like gave me a significant advantage like i put all the money i would have spent i'm buying
00:50:57.560 my way into the city to get like laser guns and and like you know our freaking like what is it
00:51:06.080 like tech suit armor and stuff like this you know and power suit power suit armor go in and just
00:51:10.700 like the beat of like bears and any other person on my path in the tube just like
00:51:15.840 yes underrated element of the tubes you can also just hunt humans for a sport within it because
00:51:22.880 that would be so fun that's like my number one you're right like actually the more realistic
00:51:27.540 depiction of the tubes it wouldn't be the rich people on the outside it'd be rich people on the
00:51:31.020 inside just taking them all out because they're like wait a second why am i watching this i could
00:51:36.680 be in there why am i on the outside i should be on the inside we're not helping perceptions of
00:51:43.500 all the socialists leftists who hate people on the right well i don't think i don't think this
00:51:48.980 because i was on the leaflet stream and i was reading the account of like the rough and tumble
00:51:53.700 fights that they used to have in the part of the america the moment everyone knew the fight was
00:51:59.440 going to happen apparently the entire town showed up to watch and the one guy bit the other guy's
00:52:04.100 nose off and the other guy tore the guy's cheek down all the way so it's just like flapping off
00:52:09.580 and i'm like this is what my ancestors the people who didn't like this stuff they weren't like they 0.97
00:52:15.600 die you go okay fucking they're going to town on a guy like the people who were like a grossed out 0.87
00:52:22.040 by this stuff they left the the regions that my ancestors were in yeah they selected my ancestors 1.00
00:52:28.500 were like violence maxed in terms of like innate desires so thank god i have ai right you know
00:52:35.920 very very fun stuff you can do with ai if you're if your brain accidentally got violence maxed
00:52:41.800 yeah yeah i think that that's a maybe a separate episode the that there it's not about people who
00:52:50.700 have violent instincts it's about having the lack of intelligence to not act on them yeah it's
00:52:56.940 dangerous that like it's actually super okay for people to have violent instincts because 0.99
00:53:02.460 if you're not an idiot you won't act on them and get caught yeah absolutely i mean it's it's the 0.96
00:53:09.600 same thing being like it's okay to think someone is hot you don't have to rape them yeah exactly 0.99
00:53:14.860 yes yeah yeah it's having a good sense too fans are like weird they're like this happened on the
00:53:19.340 leaflet stream so do you do you have a crush on leaflet right like like accusatorily like it's
00:53:24.300 weird that i'm talking doesn't have a crush on leaflet though yeah i'm like her personality i
00:53:29.580 can't see what she looks like but her personality is objectively attractive i mean that's why you're
00:53:33.840 all here too yeah that doesn't mean everyone on the street on her or something or like i'm thinking
00:53:39.820 about hooking like do you not understand that like you can have like a committed relationship
00:53:44.840 to a wife and that doesn't immediately make no one else in the world hot to you mike pence was
00:53:51.160 like that right or that was yeah he's like i can't go to a dinner with someone because i cannot
00:53:55.220 control myself yeah that's like what what guys you can have instincts and just
00:54:03.840 not listen to them or better than even not listening to them use them to fuel an alternate
00:54:10.560 behavioral pattern for real so what i'd say is every time you look at something and you think
00:54:15.700 that's hot that remind yourself that's your brain telling you that you should be having children
00:54:21.300 every single arousal pathway you've ever sent is your brain trying to get you to go out there and
00:54:26.580 have children or exterminate your genetic competition because that pathway appears to
00:54:31.800 use some of the arousal stuff as well that that is so don't don't you know go oh then i'm gonna
00:54:38.360 do what that pathway is telling me to do go like oh but what's the downstream effect that that
00:54:43.300 pathway is telling me to do right which is fun go go out and find a spouse or treat your spouse
00:54:51.340 better you know whatever anyway love you i love you too can you hear the kids downstairs
00:55:00.980 is losing your minds the screaming i mean i hear the screaming and the occasional thud
00:55:06.760 can you tell they've inherited a bit of you anyway all right every night hold on every
00:55:12.920 night when i go to bed it's daddy daddy daddy fight fight me i won't give you my ipads unless
00:55:19.880 you fight me and then at the end of the night they're like daddy so don't go before you hug
00:55:25.920 me come on hug me and i go hug them and they're like jump on me and i'm like i got him take him
00:55:31.800 down the house and i'm not exaggerating the house literally shakes like unify if earplugs in
00:55:38.820 it's like airplane turbulence how to tell alexa to play the mortal combat theme song so they do
00:55:43.820 that every night yeah yeah now they finally see mortal kombat so they understand context
00:55:50.160 cultural literacy very important yeah all right okay bye bye bye bye bye
00:55:55.920 and there's a bee in my room okay did you reach out to Rumi about like doing something together
00:56:02.440 or Rumi I have it I'm just gonna I'm just gonna catch this hornet real quick
00:56:07.720 hello she's just gonna hang out with me oh she makes quite the sound of tinkering
00:56:18.000 tinkling on her god okay this is gonna be disturbing sitting right next to a very angry
00:56:25.100 hornet maybe it will make podcasting better did you you say you didn't kill it or are you not
00:56:30.000 you know i'm just gonna open i'm so sorry i'm gonna open a window and let her out
00:56:34.020 anyway oh speaking of biting insects i got the initial answer back on the ticks that i sent in
00:56:42.220 for testing thanks to eric and they're american dog ticks they're not that's the largest form of
00:56:50.040 tick. Oh, is it? Yeah. I asked in Pennsylvania, what could a large brown tick be? And the American
00:56:58.980 dog tick is the largest form of tick. Well, the two other ticks that have provably come back on
00:57:03.400 the kids that I've taken off and that we just sent to sampling are those. So that probably means
00:57:09.160 that's what we have around our house, hopefully. Yeah. The dangerous tick varieties are the lone
00:57:15.060 star tick which has the meat eating disease and deer ticks which have Lyme disease so
00:57:21.040 I mean they still have two other diseases but now I know what to look for and they're not
00:57:27.380 you know I mean they are pretty bad if anyway the more you know okay I'm gonna get started
00:57:34.640 I'm so pretty super stoked for this can I do the you haven't you refuse to tell me about this all
