Show Notes Transcript

I stand by it, let's talk about it. 

William Jeffery:

So did you know that Sammy Davis Jr. was not related to Harley Davidson?

Marcus:

No, that's that was fun facts, man. I appreciate it. It's not how we started the show.

William Jeffery:

I mean, I don't know. That's what we were talking about. You said you were ready after I said that. So I assumed we were talking about motorcycles and black people. No, well, no. Because there's a better biggest gap between black people motorcyclists. There isn't.

Marcus:

No I'm pretty sure there's a black motorcycle groups and stuff like that one. I was approached by one when I was younger.

William Jeffery:

I think that was just a regular game that had a motorcycle.

Marcus:

That was just, I mean, no, I mean, I was gonna say,

William Jeffery:

approaching with the vest with lots of alphabets. No, yeah. But they have on Converse.

Marcus:

Negative their motorcycle.

William Jeffery:

was at the police. So recycled, but what does that even mean?

Marcus:

The boots you wear to ride a motorcycle?

William Jeffery:

I like cowboy boots. But it's hard to

Marcus:

explain. I mean, you know, later on during the intro, you can watch it.

William Jeffery:

If you fall, I live in Los Angeles. I wouldn't dare ride a motorcycle. People don't care about the other cars on the road. Why would they care about me riding a bicycle with the lawnmower engine strapped to it? I gotta get home to my children. I drive a tank. And I'm nervous inside of that. Because they won't let me put any live ammunition. And if they let me put it, you know, the giant missile. That would I would feel better. But yeah, so I'm nervous out there. Crazy.

Marcus:

Right? Right. You know, I was that. They had me thinking what you say missiles and all that stuff. And driving around tanks. I was watching a 90 day fiance one of my favorite shows.

William Jeffery:

And that made you think about tanks in Miss. Wait. Do you not have cable? I do have cable. That's why why how is that your favorite showing when you have other options? Great show. Now I've seen it what my sister I think watches it. There's a lot of things great. It is not. It's like the real world greencard version.

Marcus:

So it made me think while I was watching the show, there was a very fortunate

William Jeffery:

one there that Because apparently, all the other network was were offline. That's what it was. It was like an emergency. So all that you could have available was the fiance's that's just all it doesn't even make any sense. What so what's the premise?

Marcus:

The person who's from Kyiv, Ukraine. And today still she Yeah, but she's like, you know, all the episodes. She's really happy about once living there and now being living in Florida. And the thoughts. I didn't say it aloud. The thought that came to my mind was Hmm, I wonder why she doesn't go back to her country and, like, help out.

William Jeffery:

I mean, Florida is a downgrade, I would leave and go to the Ukraine, right. But they they made me think about all things anywhere other than Florida.

Marcus:

It made me think about all the things we're not allowed to say. Like, especially as an American, like, go back to your country.

William Jeffery:

Well, it's just because no matter how you say it's a uniquely inaccurate insult, right? Because it's none of our countries. We just were the last ones to steal it. And we're the most creative with our slavery.

Marcus:

Before we get too in depth on this history lesson, who

William Jeffery:

are you? I'm Will and this will not be history. I slept all through that. I've not learned a lick of history. Because I mean history why nobody, there's like eight people that are interested in Indiana Jones tried to make it cool. And they haven't made a movie like that sense. So he saw how well that worked

Marcus:

out. And I'm Marcus and I'm the co host of will show head above hypocrisy. I like history actually. And I'm hoping when this episode wins a lot, we can explain History is written by the winners. I'm hoping that

William Jeffery:

in the newspaper that nobody reads

Marcus:

I'm gonna go grab a newspaper and read it while you go ahead and drop your intro.

William Jeffery:

Yeah, I'm gonna go get the information in real time off the internet. And you can go find out tomorrow what's gonna happen today confirmed it, I Googled it. Google doesn't have any interest in history. Like it's all backed up on the cloud. We don't need to read it. If we need to pull something we can just you know Ctrl F search for exactly what we're looking for. Okay?

Marcus:

So okay, well, fine, fine. How about this something that's not really history, but probably is by the time people are listening to this, the Pete Davidson situation with Kanye, and it kind of fits the story of things we're not supposed to talk about because you banned all thing Kanye is on the show. However,

William Jeffery:

we'll also like talking about in math, so it's a double header.

Marcus:

I think that Trifecta has got a shot if you Davidson.

William Jeffery:

Is that Kim Kardashian boyfriend, right right. He's got to be off meth or something, right?

Marcus:

No, I mean, I think he's Roger the alien from American dead but like no. Oh,

William Jeffery:

that's that guy. Is Rogers voice.

Marcus:

No, he's not. No, that's Seth MacFarlane but write

William Jeffery:

voices. Seth like animated Eddie Murphy.

Marcus:

Right. He does majority of the voices however, I feel like if Roger the alien was real, it would be

William Jeffery:

Oh, so peed on all the drugs, not one specifically. That's why he has raccoon face. As a white person. Almost was offended. I thought it was the other kind of face that is offensive. But then I realized is just due to lack of sleep and substance abuse. Right. And they Kardashian after Kanye West probably

Marcus:

I think he's drinking smart, smart water vitamin water now. So what

William Jeffery:

I was drinking alcohol out of a smart water bottle.

Marcus:

It's doing wonders for him. So what I was wondering is

William Jeffery:

have ABS and kit like not be capable of consuming water at this point.

Marcus:

We cannot say okay, if someone is asking

William Jeffery:

related to Steve Oh, he looks like one of the guys from Jack. I can't remember which one maybe all of them. No, no. He looks at their level. And that's probably how I got on SNL. Like they electrocute me. It's

Marcus:

the main guy from Jackass.

William Jeffery:

One of Yeah. Which I don't know one of them. The one that was normal enough to do a few movies.

Marcus:

Right? Right. Right. Right.

William Jeffery:

That's it Yeah. depot's and say is Johnny Knoxville. I think that that's Johnny Nashville's. Awesome, lost and forgotten. So maybe it's like a dare. Like, I wonder if you can have a kid and make him be loosely famous for no reason. And then

Marcus:

do your thinking.

William Jeffery:

Is that? Does that mean he just oh, that's why it says Dad. I mean, he's not that old. It's just when you do all the drugs at once. And then data Kardashian. That's what happens to your face. See, they keep playing he doesn't have a career to ruin. He's not an athlete, so his ankles will be fine.

Marcus:

i It sounds like you keep playing it on the Kardashian. No.

William Jeffery:

I mean, we're all adults. It's 5050. You know, it's half their fault and the other willing adult for joining that circus. Right? What non talented, oddly shaped people

Marcus:

things I feel like you can't say you cannot tell someone that.

William Jeffery:

Well, you can't say anything bad about Beyonce. If you want to go on the internet and use social media, we did an episode where I badmouth Beyonce, I'm still on the internet. No, you're not one. We don't have a social media account. They looked for you and you have no digital footprint. Oh, man, were that good. We thought about canceling and now that you don't exist, it's a win for them. I mean, my problem, everything is a win for them. That's why they behave the way they do. When you have no standards, it's easy to manufacture wins. And their wins are based on how much time they spend on the internet arguing with your social media account.

Marcus:

So that leads me to the reason I kind of brought this up. Pete Davidson told Kanye I'm in bed with your wife as a response.

William Jeffery:

Is he related to the motorcycle people Pete Davidson? Or Sammy? They WHAT DO WE okay? Are you which which Who is he related? Well, how did he even meet Kim? It just doesn't make any sense. There was it was he like outside Whole Foods while she was coming out?

Marcus:

He's a comedian. I think people think he's really nice. He looks funny. Is the internet rumor? Or maybe a confirm internet rumor that he is well endowed? I don't know. And apparently how was that amusing? I know it's I guess that's something when he does funny porn. No, he's on SNL. He's sometimes funny. He's on the show the rookie recurring character he's kind of funny. No, no, no. Well, you know is it he's really funny is it the writers that make him funny? Because the writers are writing this stuff he just delivers it. Like I have no writer that's why some of my stuff is funny Some of it's not

William Jeffery:

well, you could write it down before you say it if you go forget what you gross. That's not what I meant. Anyway, so like our feed remember,

Marcus:

what are what are the things you just can't say? Can't say that you can't say vomit airport.

William Jeffery:

You can if your little lane and you're wrapping the one song. Which song is that? I think getting money. I think at the end you have to wrap the whole song. Okay. The airport right sir? Wayne would do that. But you know, he actually which, um, the Bob like, tick, tick. I don't think TSA is going to swarm Little Wayne. I mean, they've already let him through with 37 pounds. We'd I don't think they're gonna stop him for saying the word bomb. He's too high to blow anything up anyway, like, I don't think he can't be a threat he'll forget to do it. Yeah, no, you're probably can't reach the bomb lever anyway, he's four foot two and a half inches tall

Marcus:

can't see fire and you can't shout fire. They say in theater, movie

William Jeffery:

theater. People do it all the time.

Marcus:

What movie did it have you been to where they shut in fire?

William Jeffery:

What is it the eight mile because the fire bars and that let's see what else. That's a stretch.

Marcus:

That's a stretch. I'm just saying there's things you can't you know, you can't yell out shooter in a crowd.

William Jeffery:

Unless you're at a little Wayne Robin Thicke concert, because they have a saw where the whole course is shooter. So you know, I think they say it and then the crowd

Marcus:

says, normal everyday. So

William Jeffery:

can you just why would you just be yelling stuff in a normal everyday setting anyway, like, you can't have Tourette's in public. It basically, you know, if you just walk or butter, but that's weird. You just can't say anything loud.

Marcus:

Like that. But I mean, like, okay, so things you can't say without like, there's just things you say that kind of crosses a certain line. Like, let's just say you go to your boss, and you're like, you know, I quit? You can't walk that back.

William Jeffery:

No, but you can say it, if you have another job, or you you're tired of being employed. What you can't say to I don't know is I know what you you know, you don't know what you can't say you are a question you can't ask. You cannot ask a large person how many seats they buy when they fly? That's true. That's true. You can't ask a woman how old she is, for some reason. I don't understand can get some the person you can try it. You can't just because you don't tell people doesn't mean we can't see that you're old and fat. Or young and thin. I guess if you're trying to hide it to 12 and weigh 37 pounds. Whatever you're trying to hide, like we can still see you. So I don't understand why that song and dance dance exists. What if my mother to this day won't tell me how old she is. But she never asked a woman that I know. That's why I asked my mom. But you know, if,

Marcus:

what if it's situation? Like is it rude? Or way online? If someone was let's just say African American, had a car? Yes, very expensive car. And someone was like, Hey, man, did you buy that car out a lot? It's always online. Why is it always online just automatically because of the skin color? Yes.

William Jeffery:

Well, it depends if it's a black person asked another black person, the next family business, otherwise you're out of luck. Someone asked me about my car, you just

Marcus:

you just assume that you know, they own the car? Or like why even ask or like,

William Jeffery:

I have never seen a vehicle and immediately thought about the finance arrangement between the person driving it and the lender or the car lot that they drove it off. I don't I couldn't care less. Right.

Marcus:

Okay. Fair enough. How about cars? I know someone that likes to like to

William Jeffery:

determine the people Oh, and what? I assume most people don't know.

Marcus:

She likes to when the police go by flip the Hi, Yo, you know, poses a white friend of yours. Oh,

William Jeffery:

she's led by complexion. And she Oh, the police don't know she's Latin. That's probably not. I don't know. Okay. Well, you if they did, and she flipped them off, and she wouldn't be afraid anymore. She'd been prison, oh. She might still be your friend. But you wouldn't be able to, you know, can be, you know, visiting days and go out and do that. I don't interact. Technically, because their job is to keep the peace and flipping someone else's silent. So technically, it is not an infraction. As far as I know. It's not official sign language. So they up in court, I don't know that it would be legal for them to accost you. But we've seen how you know, things go when it's the police versus civilian. Whatever, they need to move it. So I don't know. I wouldn't do it. I avoid the police. I don't care if you're allowed. You know what you're allowed to do with them? I avoid them because I don't want to get murdered.

Marcus:

That's fair enough. right past the whole what Pete Davidson said to Kanye, and that's okay. Like, I think you're allowed to say come back like that, no matter how angry you are.

William Jeffery:

I mean, I just feel like both of them are mentally unstable people, right? Like Kanye been crazy for like seven summers now. And this drug addict man, who? I guess he performs on Third Street. He seems he does seem like a street performer. He's a street performer and it let's go with that. That's fine. Sure. Anyway, wherever she found this drug addict to annoy Kanye with you know, drug addicts on state crackhead saying all kinds of crazy stuff like you've never been a liquor store. crackhead tried to say three mismatched trash can lids dummy got them from the President.

Marcus:

So you're saying that because of narcotics Pete Davidson's out of line.

William Jeffery:

I'm saying that you can't take his out aliveness as much as you would a sober person. Like of sound mind. It's the same reason. It's like the insanity plea. Same reason, you get to go to Arkham Asylum, instead of saying saying, if you plead insanity over I just didn't like him. So I shot him. You know, is it right? No, but he's insane. So what do you get? You're gonna find a crazy person. No, it's like arguing with a toddler. Right? Is it right that she just due to macaroni and cheese in my face after I cooked it? After she woke me up out of my dead sleep and told me she was hungry. And now the macaroni has the wrong shape. And it's sliding down the wall slow motion style? No, but it's a toddler. So what are you gonna do? Yeah, let her tell her to make her own macaroni and cheese and going back to sleep that they'll come take away from me. And when you wake up, you'll be sad about that. If you're doing your job, right.

Marcus:

How do we get parents who have vices, so another plug for dads corner?

William Jeffery:

It was a snippet. You can get the rest of that over on our podcast if, if you have children are so interested in how I choose to raise mine. So you don't even need to have them yourself. And so is that exclusively it is only on Apple podcasts. So you will have to click a few buttons to get there. But it's definitely worth

Marcus:

it because it's $1 Oh, for the whole series.

William Jeffery:

It's like a penny for your thoughts. I have 99 thoughts. I swear to God 99 problems but a thought ain't one. Got plenty of those.

Marcus:

Plenty. Plenty of thoughts. Yeah. T H O T's?

William Jeffery:

No, no. My wife edits the shell thoughts in my mind. At the Club. Okay, now I got into thoughts not scantily clad ones not cinnamon? No,

Marcus:

you know, speaking of your wife. Um, did you know there's a Virginia

William Jeffery:

tread lightly, sir.

Marcus:

Couple. married for 30 years and they claim they've never argued once. I call bullshit. Can I say I get one of my contract. I like to call BS. Oh, that was my one.

William Jeffery:

I mean, I don't know in Virginia. Yeah. How long ago? Did they get rid of slavery down there?

Marcus:

I don't I'm not gonna look at it right now.

William Jeffery:

I'm just saying like, because slaves are not allowed to speak. And you can't argue if you're silent. They're white.

Marcus:

They mean they have seven kids. They posted

William Jeffery:

together I would imagine so if you don't know that they don't argue because she lives in Canada and he lives in Texas. And they're just pen pals that CO parent met co parent in Virginia. Exactly neutral ground I can't live in the same state they definitely have never argue with your wife it's impossible.

Marcus:

You can no not argue just have discussions.

William Jeffery:

Or maybe they don't argue they just fight. Let's just you know she says something he doesn't like he cheats chopper in the throat. And then we'll see. Okay, so as roundhouse kicks him and uppercut, jab, parry, left and then dinner talk

Marcus:

Alright, so as I was looking up the story a little bit more as you were going through the

William Jeffery:

like you tonight pass all the argue insults and get straight to the fisticuffs. Fights don't last that long. Those two people look like they're in terrible shape. They fight seven nine seconds. And then it's time you know for dinner. No, they they say supper. They look like they eat supper. They don't eat. They probably won't. I'm sure they are. Delicious with their supper a pot pop. Oh, like a soda pop. Okay, currently, that's what it's called in some parts of the world.

Marcus:

I mean, it's got us Yeah, it's usually called a coke out here.

William Jeffery:

I mean, it's called it's called soda.

Marcus:

I mean, no, I think we use like the getting off point that the point is, they stated Yeah, they do get upset

William Jeffery:

with each other. It's like most complex and you know how many punches

Marcus:

during the three decades they viewed anger as just a miscommunication. So instead of feeding the whole

William Jeffery:

emotion and like the emotional truth is happiness, sadness, anger, and fear and if they didn't see inside out see they had seven kids and slept do their homework. It explains all the emotions and anger if you can't just make anger away that you'll be emotionally imbalanced like these two five sets they're gonna kill like 30 people together. They may have already that's probably why they don't aren't might be there they go happily kidnap someone and torture them in their basement.

Marcus:

Well, I mean, the family that kills together, drills together.

William Jeffery:

Now they become what is it Bau episode? Oh, I'm not gonna mind, man. Teach them. I'm somebody. Sure this is I think they did an episode on this on this couple.

Marcus:

I mean, I was in infatuated heavily with Jodi Arias. And she's like, serial killer when she's not a serial killer. She just murdered her boyfriend. But that's podcast for another day.

William Jeffery:

So that The way to a happy marriage is to find a psychopath

Marcus:

teacher. So instead of feeding any feelings of anger, the parents choose to fight on the same side rather than in the, the opposition to one another.

William Jeffery:

Yeah, the side of kidnapping. They've got bodies in the basement for sure. I wish I could show people the picture. But they clearly eat supper, they drink pop, and they kill people recreationally in order to keep their relationship balanced, because they removed anger and replaced it with murder, which is an anchor based activity. So they really haven't, you know, fixed anything. They just are, you know, the first famous serial killing couple that was made famous for their lack of argument and not for the amount of bodies. So you're saying, you're basically saying it's not possible? It is, if you kill people,

Marcus:

could they maybe they have like, just maybe they crochet together.

William Jeffery:

The thing is to have a hobby wave that anchor works is it does not call in advance. Notice, it just shows up facts. So you don't like this sounds great in theory and on paper, but if you've ever been angry before, and or in a relationship, no matter what side you're on, you can no matter what side you're on, it's going to come out how it's going to come out. And that's natural to a point like that's part of being in a relationship, that's part of being you know, married, whatever you want to call it is, is working through the anger, not removing it and calling it something else. Like I just, you know, I don't think that that's healthy. Otherwise, you're gonna end up killing people in order to keep balance like it is it is part of the core emotional, like, what if, what if you did the same thing with happiness, you can't just be happy, we don't celebrate together we choose and you know, because celebration is whatever they said about anger, so and so being happy, we choose to, you know, so

Marcus:

you're saying it's impossible to find someone to be ideally just happy with?

William Jeffery:

No, I'm saying to be human is to be imperfect. And then or like, and in that imperfectness if you choose to hitch your wagon to another imperfect wagon, you guys are going to you know, have some imperfections, and they will likely result into an argument or two. And I would even I would even argue to say that you learn things about people. While arguing sometimes like there's there's there are you know, you learn lines, you learn what's important to someone, you know, there's there's there is benefit in processing anger in a healthy way. And to remove it and say that, like you've solved relationships by just you know, arguing on the same side of the desk, it's it's I don't know, it's sounds like cold talk to me.

Marcus:

I mean, hey, maybe it's a cult of personality. Maybe they just the cult of love.

William Jeffery:

I don't know, you're never gonna basement man, for sure.

Marcus:

I mean, there might be and that's not like you said, they get their frustration now. And it's a very happy couple of nonetheless, who are really good at what they do. But nonetheless, I feel like, you know, if they happen to not argue and have, I don't know, simple discussions. I think that's healthy. Right? have disagreements, no one's really dying. They, you know, they go back and forth. Like you said that you're angry at each other.

William Jeffery:

But so is it a semantics thing? Like, well, we have we disagree, but we don't argue it is the now it's like a What's your definition of an argument? Right? Like, because I can have an even tempered, monotone argument, like I don't have to raise my voice to be arguing with somebody, I understand that, you know, that's, that's a telltale sign of an argument, you're usually not having a level headed discussion, shouting at the top of your lungs. But you can also be having an argument very quietly, like if you've ever been taught to by your mother in church, as a child, that is a very aggressive, argumentative tone, that is very, very low. And you know, you wouldn't it's at a distance from you know, just looking at it, you would think that she's explaining the scripture to me, but she is really explaining my mortality to me, and how she will exercise that if I don't sit back shut up and listen to pastor but that, you know, that's the rabbit hole. Not point being

Marcus:

something. argue, you know, wives or significant other girlfriends depending, you know, they're very intimidating at times. Oh, well, are crazy, right? More than I think they would know terrified, very terrifying, because they

William Jeffery:

don't have a lot. We have a line. They don't. And they just they don't they don't if you pick well, they don't go crazy. You know, they don't go off the rails all the time, but they're capable and we're not

Marcus:

want them to go crazy.

William Jeffery:

Why would you wasn't that some people did crazy checks? I guess those are the same kind of people that recreationally released nukes. That's you? Why would you? So like you would do it just for to pass the time? Do you understand how long it takes the Earth to recover from now, forget about the people and all of the families that will have that the Earth doesn't recover. Everybody dies. So the Earth isn't supposed to. They do say one

Marcus:

of the things that you're supposed to avoid is the word should.

William Jeffery:

Look, why shouldn't you avoid that? I'm trying to learn how to not argue with my wife. But we're not killing about it. Because I'm six foot three black men, we're getting caught. They're saying she'll get away with no, I got to steal, they will assume she's the victim. While she is trying to convince them. She's an accomplice Delta, she'll tell them she's the mastermind. While they're taking her into protective custody, strapping me in the electric chair

Marcus:

as they should I like that word should now Oh, you're not supposed to anyway, so they said you're not supposed to use the word should for romantic partners.

William Jeffery:

How about suppose? Is it like, is it a source thing? Do we just need the cash? Is keywords a thought of? I'm just like, do we need to get ti on this case? Is it about like what words you're using? Like I expeditiously choose to articulate myself aggressively when speaking with my significant other? I just you know, he's just a great relationship expert. Just because you use long words doesn't mean that upset either. It's I feel like it's just about if you're angry or not? Well, they

Marcus:

they say holding the thought that your spouse should be different is arguing the reality.

William Jeffery:

But that's a very specific, it's a specific like thought it has nothing to do with the word should it has to do with thinking like about your spouse and idealistic way like that, you know, they're supposed to be better or a certain even better a specific way that you envision them? And yeah, it's easy to use should to describe that. But why is should you know, the scapegoat for a poor outlook on your relationship? Right? Like, you can't, you shouldn't idealize people people. They are what you can use

Marcus:

shouldn't it's just a variation of shit. That's should what not at the end, right?

William Jeffery:

Well, I didn't say that you shouldn't use. I also think you should argue. So I disagree with all of this foolishness. But, you know, I guess all right, it is. It is unreasonable. Or it is a you know, you're not doing yourself any favors, if you are expecting someone to be a way that you envisioned in your head. Right. And that has nothing to do should that just is that's that's a that is a normal struggle in relationship, right? And it's not easy to do. Because you a lot of times you envision your relationship going a certain way and you start making plans and like you make these plans with your with your person, but you assume and or envision them behaving a certain way like you know, exactly, because it's it's your dream, it's your vision, but your vision includes a whole nother person. So to hold them to your dream standard. Is is unreasonable, at best, right? Like, I'm not gonna fault anybody for that. Like you said, we all fall victim to that. But it's unreasonable because they don't they weren't part of that dream, right? This is inception. We didn't get to go through it together. I don't know what you're doing. I don't know what the standard is. You haven't talked to me about this. And then you know, you find yourself irritated because I Well, I I envisioned that this let your vision you got to share it, you speak it out into reality.

Marcus:

I'm glad you said that, because they let success of course. And it's the most annoying however, it is by far the most important thing I think in relationship, communication,

William Jeffery:

da that everybody knows. That's what they said we're supposed to listen to these people. That's millions of followers. So because the serial killers communicate well, they're now relationship experts, every relational way with

Marcus:

murdering people daily at the core

William Jeffery:

of every relationship, Guru, helper, whatever you want to call it is communication. They're gonna they all it's all different flavors. But oh no root of it. Love yourself to whatever you don't even have to do that you can hate yourself but if you communicate that hate to your partner, then they understand how to hate you the way you want to be hated it. It doesn't matter what color what shade you put on it communication is at the core of every relationship so when you go to a specialist you go to a psycho whoever when you go for help, they're gonna say communication and you'll say a bunch of other stuff. Because people don't like to communicate. Right? Right. That's what's the thing everybody wants to be an adult until it's time to apologize, communicate. I forget the third one. But people don't like to communicate right like it's difficult as well about you know sensitive stuff right right like people love to communicate what they're Denise order is or their Chick fil A specialty but like how they're feeling or going to Starbucks exact they love to communicate their Starbucks order. Yes, this is best to see their their Starbucks that I feel like it's a challenge now. If you're your basic if you I just want some coffee, I want tea so I don't even get to play. No, no, I'm over here playing racquetball and you should try

Marcus:

to like maybe no one likes to fancy by like adding whipped cream

William Jeffery:

to my tea. You don't put milk into well, I know that they do. Certain I tried that was the English Breakfast at Yeah,

Marcus:

I mean, there's milk Jasmine milk tea. Yeah.

William Jeffery:

No, no, no, thank you. I'm lactose intolerant. I'm gonna pull that card. Can I use? I make my exception for ice cream and ice cream alone? I'm not gonna you know take an L for milky tea. No, I

Marcus:

gotcha. Well, you know, you mentioned the word card and that was a key word of today that you weren't aware of. Because if these listeners have that card, a debit card credit card in hand you know one of the things they could do with that thing with

William Jeffery:

their debit card yes hopefully protect and secure it and don't use it at you know those gas stations like it would like your United oils are your gas and goals are like the random one off

Marcus:

give me a second I'm trying to write down all the sponsors that are not going to sponsor the show. Thanks appreciate I can see

William Jeffery:

you were concerned about getting a single gas station sponsor

Marcus:

Have you not seen the gas prices

William Jeffery:

but these are the gas stations that people stop at before they go get murdered by at by the Chainsaw Massacre it's not a real guest like

Marcus:

others robberies I guess you don't know

William Jeffery:

anyone that there's money and or good there can be robberies

Marcus:

I didn't go and divulge I met there's robberies at the laundry man stealing gas from the gas stations like pulling up in vans and stealing it from the actual gas stations from the will

William Jeffery:

from the earth don't they keep the gas under the gas

Marcus:

they Yeah, I can it's a teaser. I can bring it Yeah, we

William Jeffery:

got to talk about that in depth. The next Avengers go oh, you know what it is? A bet Tony, stop giving out the aarC reactors. And now some of the students are gas power so they gotta go you gotta go.

Marcus:

Yeah, no, no, and he'll regular advance like we had when we used to drove drive to

William Jeffery:

the guy who is pulling gas drums out of the earth and placing them and siphoning them somehow, we just pull up over them and they put the gas in the back of

Marcus:

okay, we want to detail next episode. That's a teaser for people. Basically,

William Jeffery:

you know what that these teams of gas thieves clearly have is great communication. Because it takes amazing communication to pull a heist like that off that is some Ocean's 11 status type what is it robbery or or larceny? I don't know what it's called Exactly. There's a cool term that I'm missing but to communicate the communication it takes to siphon gas from underground at a gas station during a make not even a gas crisis just like it's I guess it's a crisis because the prices are so hot, but like you would think they would be super high alert for for gas related crimes. I bet they probably don't expect people to yank it up out of the ground I

Marcus:

don't think you hit someone with the arts of war you know you hit them where they don't see it coming

William Jeffery:

they clearly got inspired by this that's a Danny Ocean kind of thing like the normal Robert they go for the cash register like now we're going for the good stuff underneath. You can have $37 in the register to Gatorade somebody wants to monsters. You can you can have stale chips. We want the good stuff.

Marcus:

What else with gold since I see the runway coming up and I was trying to allude to is you know if you're

William Jeffery:

I don't know if we can afford to take off with these gas prices we might just be sitting in the plane on the runway. We just got to turn around

Marcus:

that would explain why it's so hot in this damn studio or garage.

William Jeffery:

Because if you turn the air conditioning on you got to turn the plane on which burns gas right I don't

Marcus:

understand why that's a thing because there's battery outputs to the plane Why isn't the AC just run the battery?

William Jeffery:

This probably the same reason that it took so long for us to get an electric vehicle and we've had the technology for decades because fossil fuel wants you to buy and use as much fossil fuel as possible isn't built in obsolescence will be my theory but you know me and my conspiracies.

Marcus:

You got anything to sell. Oh I think I dropped the pass or I don't think we communicated well when I was giving you the debit card hint to let you know to let your listeners know to use that debit card to purchase I don't know a hoodie or something. Oh yes communication. I should have expected you to not I don't think I use

William Jeffery:

because you don't have unnecessary, I don't think you have to use you can use Pay Pal, which I mean, I guess you probably have to connect your debit card to but you have to pull it out right you can do it all from the comfort of your laptop and or desktop area. But yeah, if you wanted to mosey on over to head above hypocrisy.com, pick yourself a mug or shirt or something that is totally an option. And we will not steal your information because we are not a gas station. So you don't have to worry about that. And again, you don't have to necessarily enter anything. So it's very safe. And they're very cozy. I was wearing one. But again, gas is very high. So everything is turned off, because I don't know what uses gas and what doesn't. So we just turned it all off. Is that when a studio isn't dark, you don't want to use gas and my mom's you know, you know, run up the light bill. So you gotta keep all the doors closed. Make sure your laundry is folded, do your homework. Look both ways before you cross the street. Don't talk back. Otherwise, you're gonna run up the light bill.

Marcus:

Did you just do another Dad's Corner plug?

William Jeffery:

No, I just out. Well, maybe it was a Dad's Corner, plug slash flashback slash PTSD. But um, yeah, you can you can hear more outbursts like that, overall, the Dad's Corner at Apple podcast exclusively? Yeah, a lot. A lot of things apparently run up the the electric bill. But

Marcus:

i Any final thoughts on communications and everything like that? We're not allowed to say,

William Jeffery:

I mean, like, it's a communication thing, right? Like, you're only not allowed to say what the people around you will be upset about, like some people have a higher tolerance for inappropriate speech than ever. Like, if all your friends are comics than like, what's allowed to be said and what's not is probably a lot wider than if they're all historian since you like history so much, I don't know that they probably aren't the most, you know, risque with their jokes. So, you know, I think at the end of the day, the reason, like I joke about how communication is at the core of every relationship gurus advice, but the reason it is is because it's that's true, like no matter how you dress it up, no matter how you try to avoid it, the only way you make any sort of relationship work between one or more like two or more people is to communicate, and that's beyond, you know, marriage girlfriend, boyfriend, like at work on on a basketball team, you know, if if you if in and out, is going to get all of those double doubles out as quickly as they do, they gotta communicate. Same for Chick fil A Right? Like, they got to have great communication on those lines. And, you know, nobody's trying to get married or have babies or make, you know, life decisions there. But communication is still vital. So, I guess that would be, you know, you gotta communicate if you want, if you want people to know something, you got to talk about it, even if it's uncomfortable, awkward. And if not, you know, that's what we're here for. So just tell them to tune in, and we'll do it for you. But yeah, have those conversations, the awkward ones, usually, the more awkward they are, the better things will be afterwards. So you know, if that makes you feel any better, if you're on the fence about bringing something up, or you feel like it's gonna be weird, do it, that's how you know you're onto something, even if it goes poorly, you know, that just might mean you need to space for the next thing or whatever. And And now, you know, had you not brought it up, even if it goes badly. Bringing it up, let's you know, and now you can start to move on as, you know, uncomfortable as that may be. And again, it's not just a relation not and you know, breaking up, you could be getting fired or quitting the job or, you know, I need the ball more, or I'm gonna go to this other team that's, you know, trying to draft me Whatever the case, maybe it's better to get that out in the open and either get over it. If you you know, if you guys have to go your separate ways, or try to work through it. But if you don't communicate, then you're never gonna get there. So speak up people. And make sure you turn off slack. Because it's very loud. You gotta slack is very good at communicating. It communicates what do you need to do work and apparently, we need to go do that. So I'm gonna go back to work. My other job? This is my day job. Second, what not because you don't pay me. Maybe I'm spelling the website I gotta go to the website. Otherwise, it's gonna keep interrupting these episodes.
